🔴 Wow. Listen to this. Now I'm even being mentioned live on The Charlie Kirk Show by Michael Knowles, Andrew Kolvet, and Blake Neff - framing me as maybe not being a real person again. While calling all of us "lunatics." I can only repeat myself: this is such a shame. The way they're going about this is intellectually dishonest, to say the least. The way they strawmanned the critical arguments against Vance. The way they framed people opposing their defense of Vance as bots. And now they're continuing that here by claiming only they knew Charlie Kirk and that Charlie would have defended JD Vance if he were still alive. They're using their personal relationship with him for political leverage on Vance's behalf. This is sad because I still think - and I will repeat - that Charlie's position on Israel was clear, and so was his stance against people attacking Israel. I don't believe he would have accepted Vance's recent attacks on Israel without question. I'll link the 15-minute video of Vance's attacks on Israel below. Charlie isn't here anymore and can't speak for himself. I don't like bringing him into this debate either. But for the record: Andrew Kolvet started it. Andrew came into my comments and said, "Charlie was a massive supporter of JD" as if that could never have changed, and as if Charlie were incapable of changing his mind or reevaluating his views based on new information, such as Vance's recent attacks on Israel. They are abusing Charlie's legacy to help make Vance president in 2028. They act as if Charlie had no principles, especially when it came to Israel. They also act as if he could never have changed his mind and called out people - even those he once liked - when they suddenly turned against Israel. As if there weren't already a precedent for exactly that: Candace Owens.

‼️MUST WATCH: Charlie’s OWN Words Destroy Erika & TPUSA’s Current VICTIM Card —“Satan Loves Victims”👀 While TPUSA tries to use "victimhood" as a weapon to silence the truth, we’re going back to the archives to see what Charlie Kirk actually preached. This old clip of Charlie Kirk delivering a powerful message on thick skin, resilience, and the "victimhood mentality"—and we’ve juxtaposed it with the current reality of Erika Kirk crying victim over the investigation into September 10th. Charlie was clear—conservatives have thick skin, not thin skin. He warned that feeling sorry for yourself and playing the victim is a tool of the enemy. He explicitly stated that being "bitter" or demanding something because "someone said something bad to me" is a spiritual trap. "Satan loves victims... he is the author and the master of your pity party." —Charlie Kirk Fast forward to today, and we see Erika Kirk and TPUSA crying foul over "hurt feelings" because Candace Owens and the rest of us in this community are simply asking questions and looking into what really happend to Charlie and why the FBI is covering it up. Charlie said, "You're a Victor over your sin, not a perpetual focusing on this victimhood mentality that tears people against each other." So why is the current Turning Point machine doing exactly what he warned against? Why are they using "victimhood" to tear apart Charlie's closest friends? Now they're trying to rewrite Charlie’s legacy into one of fragility and litigation. But Charlie’s own words prove he would have rejected this current path. He didn't want a "pity party"—he wanted the truth, and he wanted Victors. If you're going to use Charlie’s name, you have to follow Charlie’s rules. You can't claim to be his legacy while acting like the very "victims" he told us to stop being. Stop acting like a victim and start acting like a Victor. The "noticing" isn't an attack—it's a search for the truth Charlie deserved. When Turning Point is crying about "bullying" and "mean tweets," they are admitting they've lost the spiritual and intellectual battle Charlie was winning. RT to remind them what Charlie actually taught. Accountability is coming. 👇 Video from: YT RABBIT CHASER 🇺🇲 FOLLOW them!

Just after winning the 2006 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama (Capote), Philip Seymour Hoffman explained the approach that helped him reach the top of his profession. In reply to a question about what advice he’d give to aspiring actors, Hoffman said, “This is something a teacher told me years ago, and he’s right: even if you’re auditioning for something that you know you’re never going to get or for something you read and didn’t like—if you get a chance to act in a room that somebody else has paid rent for, then you’re given a free chance to practice your craft. And in that moment, you should act as well as you can.” “Because when you act as well as you can,” Hoffman says, “there’s no way the people who have watched you will forget it.” So it leads to opportunities, but more importantly, “at the end of the day, all that matters is the work. Everybody knows that. If I show up one day and the work I’m doing isn’t any good, then I’m just a guy who’s not acting well… So I would say it to anybody starting out: if you’re given a chance to act, take those words and bring them alive. If you do that, something good will transpire ultimately.” Takeaway 1: Philip Seymour Hoffman saying that good things inevitably transpire when you just focus on doing whatever you're doing as well you can reminded me of a piece of advice from Steve Martin. “Despite a lack of natural ability,” Martin writes in his memoir, he would go on to put together one of the most decorated careers in the history of entertainment (five Grammy Awards, an Emmy Award, a couple of Lifetime Achievement Awards, an Honorary Oscar, and on and on). Someone stood up in an audience once and asked Martin, how do you become successful? “You have to become undeniably good at something,” he said. “Nobody ever takes my advice, because it’s not the answer they wanted to hear…but I always say, ‘Be so good they can’t ignore you.’ If you are just always thinking, ‘How can I be really good?’—people will come to you.” Takeaway 2: I've written before about a trait often possessed by those who reach the heights of their profession: They do what they do, not as a means to some end (money, fame, awards, etc.), but for the sake of doing it. To them, as Hoffman said, the work is all that matters. To them, as Ryan Holiday once told me, “the work is the win.” You control the effort, he says, not the results. You control how well you act, not whether or not you get the part. “So ultimately,” Ryan told me, “you have to love doing it. You have to get to a place where doing the work is the win and everything else is extra.” - - - “She brought so much love, energy, and cheerfulness to the work that she could not but succeed.” — Louisa May Alcott Follow Billy Oppenheimer for more content like this!

‼️INTERVIEW: Powerful Conversation with Loren Piretra & Mitchell Meechum on What Erika Kirk and Turning Point 2.0 Have Become🧐 During yesterday’s Candace Owens vs Andrew Wilson debate watch, we broke down the transformation of Turning Point under Erika Kirk. What was once framed as a free-speech, anti-establishment movement has turned into a polished megachurch-style operation complete with sparklers, leather pants, and a “Make Heaven Crowded” tour that feels more like a residency than mourning. Erika has shown almost no visible grief while rapidly expanding into schools and targeting 12- and 13-year-old girls with messaging that their highest purpose is to birth children and submit. They’ve aligned with pastors who have serious child trafficking baggage, used Charlie’s name to endorse candidates he never supported, and actively gone after people like Thomas Massie — someone Charlie repeatedly called one of his favorites. After the assassination, the priority wasn’t finding the truth about what happened to Charlie. It was protecting the coalition for the midterms. Blake Neff launched multiple public racist attacks on Candace with zero accountability from leadership. Pastor summits now spend more time declaring critics of Erika “demonic” than they do honoring Charlie. And the same people who told everyone to “pick up the mic” now issue cease-and-desists and blacklist anyone still asking hard questions. Charlie Kirk raised a generation of truth-seekers who challenged power. What we’re watching now looks a lot like an intentional effort to reel that energy back in — starting with the youth. This is bigger than one assassination. It’s about who gets to control the next generation and the narrative. FOLLOW Loren and Artifex Memoriarum , RT this and watch the full debate linked below.👇

🚨BREAKING: WolvesAndFinance Zach De Gregorio responds to TPUSA lawfare Cease and Desist and intimidation tactics with a Video Smackdown. 🔥GIVESENDGO Legal Defense Fund Launched for Independent Journalists and Investigators against the TPUSA Threats which Betray Charlie Kirk and the Free Debate and Asking Questions He Stood For 🐺Independent small financial investigator and journalist Wolves and Finance (Zach) fired back at TPUSA after they sent him cease and desist letter. Amazingly, their lawyer doesn't even know what he is doing and referenced paraphrasing out of context instead of direct quotes. The Turning Point Lawyers say people aren't allowed to ask questions, exposing the hypocrisy of TPUSA, Erika Kirk, Tyler Bowyer, and their leadership betraying Charlie Kirk over his stance on open dialogue and debate and asking question. The letter confirms the Kirk DOGE letter, admits 990 fraud (I mean "inadvertent errors" how convenient), admits TPUSA media team used drones at the site of Charlie Kirks assassination, admits Americas Turning Point is intentionally listing Tyler Bowyer their COO as an Independent Contractor and not withdrawing payroll taxes to send to the IRS. They again claim with no evidence that Tyler Bowyer is a victim and has had threats to his safety. TPUSA is on very shaky ground as the burden of proof for political defamation against public political figures like Arizona State Senator Jake Hoffman is very very high. The Arizona Constitution provides even higher protection for Journalists and Free Speech than the First Amendment to the US Constitution. Join the Defense A GiveSendGo campaign has been launched and 100% of funds go to legal defense of independent journalists and investigators and associated costs. Your donation—whatever you can spare—helps ensure journalists like Zach don't face intimidation alone. It defends the principle that asking questions about public documents is still legal in America. This isn't about whether you agree with every conclusion these journalists reach. This is about whether they have the right to ask the questions.

📢 BRAND NEW INFO!! 🎯 Charlie said "ON MY LEFT", so the left side is what Charlie Kirk: Operation 322 PART VI is going to EXPOSE! I have proven my two-shot theory beyond a reasonable doubt at this point... 🕵🏾‍♂️ Infrared beams, entry holes, exit holes, crack bang analysis, multiple reports of two shots, and so much more. Isn't it interesting that I haven't been debunked, and my work has received MASSIVE praise from around the world? Anyways, this weekend, with the release of CKO322 PART VI, I will put to rest any possibility of a .30-06 theory, exploding microphone theory, electrocution theory, and any other theory that is not consistent with TWO ENTRY WOUNDS AND TWO EXIT WOUNDS. Let me be clear... Neither of the shots came from Tyler Robinson. This was a COORDINATED JOINT MILITARY OPERATION involving Israel, the United States Army, and numerous ground assets. This was an abuse of our national security infrastructure at the highest levels. 🔑 Just to be honest, this operation was 100% treason on American soil because of the Commander in Chief's participation through authorization; including his family's over 75+ years of generational allegiance in helping to build the state of Israel through the Jewish National Fund (JNF). I know that is a lot of information at one time if you're new here, and it is extremely deep, but it is all 100% true. They will not tell you this but I will... 🔑 Charlie broke their esoteric rules, rejected their money, and then as a GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE WITH A SECURITY CLEARANCE, Charlie decided to strike up his own PERSONAL deal with the China's TikTok. Read that again. I'm talking a DIRECT DEAL. 💥 THIS WAS HIS STRIKE BACK AGAINST ISRAEL FOR BULLYING HIM. Why do you think TPUSA never talks about this? Now are you starting to understand why they wanted to buy TikTok so bad? 🔥 Because Charlie beat them to it, and openly said on the PBD podcast how he was using his leverage with the TikTok deal to steer the Republican Party based on HIS OWN VISION. 📰 Not only were people becoming millionaires on tiktok overnight, but individuals like Charlie Kirk found a way to really beat the system and steer an entire party. That's the part of the story they'll never tell you. I've done videos on all of this so I'm not just talking out of my ass. lol 🔑 How do you think the President, who appointed him to the USAF BoV and ultimately granted Charlie his security clearance, felt about China having a unilateral deal with an American citizen; a deal to steer the entire Republican Party? So when Charlie was talking about Epstein, that was hitting Little Donny a little whole lot harder than he would have liked to admit. 🤣 Charlie was hitting him with a double whammy to his EGO!! 🕵🏾‍♂️🗃️🧾 They won't tell you that badassery about Charlie Kirk, but I damn sure will!! 🥴 How do you think Israel felt when Charlie Kirk said NO to their top gangster Benjamin Knuckles, when he was in the Hamptons? #Legend 😱 Charlie turned down a nine figure payday that was an absolute GUARANTEE from Israel! 💥 That is how much he believed in himself, and how much he believed in his deal that he created with TikTok. 🕵🏾‍♂️ And THAT is the point where the United States and Israel's interest merged in the assassination of Charlie Kirk in an AUTHORIZED joint military operation... 🍯 Immediately activating their Rothstein family failsafe honeypot asset Erika Kirk, to secure TPUSA, the USAF BoV seat with the security clearance, and ultimately TikTok too. In case you didn't know, because I know no one told you, Erika Kirk is a "Crypto-Jew". 🔥 They ALL are... 🔥 🎯 In closing, no one stood to gain more from the assassination and ritual sacrifice of Charlie Kirk than the current Commander in Chief, Little Donny and the gang leader of Israel, Benjamin Knuckles. 🚫 Charlie Kirk would have stopped Section 219 from happening, because that has SECRETLY been their agenda all along. Ladies & Gentlemen... 👨🏾‍⚖️ We call that MOTIVE. ⚖️

Coppola had to fight to cast Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone in The Godfather. At the time, the studio saw Brando as “box office poison.” What finally sold them was his legendary screen test, where he transformed into the Don right in front of their eyes. Coppola explains: "I remember in one meeting, I was told by the then president of Paramount - "As president of Paramount Pictures, I am telling you that Marlon Brando will not appear in this motion picture." So I continued talking and arguing, and finally, they agreed to let me discuss the idea of Marlon Brando being in the movie if I honored three stipulations. A - he would do a screen test. B - he would do the film for free. (he would get a back-end deal) And C - he would put up a bond so that if any of his shenanigans or any trouble came from him being on the set, that it would guarantee the losses. So I said, - "Okay, I accept” - What could I do? I accepted these three things from Marlon. So I then called up Marlon Brando and suggested, "Maybe it’d be nice if I did like a little makeup test or something? I could come over your house." - he said to me, "All right."… We got to his house very early, and we set up our little lights. And I had brought a bunch of provolone cheese and a little Italian cigars and little props just to kind of put around - sure enough, he wakes up, and he comes out of his bedroom; and he's this great-looking, I don't know, he must have been 47, and in a Japanese robe. He looked very impressive, and I looked at him with this ponytail and I'm like, "God, how's he ever going to play a mafia chieftain?"… And he walked on. He put on a jacket, and he started mumbling - I remember, he went through great effort to bend the tip of his collar - he said, "So, like, there's a time guys always have the collar bent like that." And he picked up a cigar, and he started to gesture with it and use it as a prop, and he nibbled on a little bit of provolone cheese - and he rolled up the ponytail, and he kind of pinned it up, and he took some shoe polish, and he darkened it, and while he's doing this, we're photographing… He took some tissue paper, and he said, "He should have the face of a bulldog."...He stuffed the tissue paper in his jaw, and then he said, "Well, if he's shot in the throat, he ought to have to talk like that a little bit." It really was a transformation of this nice looking young man with a blonde ponytail, into this kind of mafia guy… I took it to New York, and I went to Mr. Bluthorn's office (head of Paramount Pictures), and I said, "Oh, Charlie, Charlie, I want to show you something." - I flick the video, and sure enough, there's Marlon Brando coming out in a robe with a blonde ponytail, and he looks, and he says, "Never! Marlon Brando, never! Never!" And as he's doing that, he's watching Brando turn himself into this guy, and Charlie just looks astounded, and he says, "That's incredible! That's incredible!" And once he was sold on the idea that Marlon could do it on his authority, they allowed us to do it."

VIDEO: Watch Charlie Kirk's last words to me Just a few months before he was murdered, Charlie Kirk and I were talking about the state of things in Canada. He was worried about Mark Carney’s election and what might happen to freedom — and to Rebel News. We spoke for more than half an hour. He really cared about our country. He knew a lot about Rebel News, especially our battles for free speech. And he was worried whenever one of our journalists were arrested. Watch the video above to see what he said to me. We talked about what life was like in a country without the First Amendment to protect our free speech. And then he asked me: “Are you guys going to give up?” I told him we’ll never give up. It’s our duty fight for freedom. Like we have for ten full years at Rebel News, thanks to viewers like you. You are the reason I was able to tell him we’d always fight. Because we rely on you, instead of relying on grants from Mark Carney. We’re independent. We take no government money. So we can fight back. We do great journalism, from the trucker convoy in 2022 to the ostrich farm siege in 2025. We have reporters across the country, including in Quebec. But every once in a while we don’t just write about a problem. We stop and get involved in the battle, too, to try to fix it. Like fighting for thousands of people who received huge Covid fines. Defending Christian pastors. Crowdfunding the battle for Tamara Lich. Paying for the lawyer for the Ontario man who defended his house from a home invasion robbery. Standing up for the little guy. It’s that activist side that Charlie loved about us. All of the things Charlie worried about for America are getting worse in Canada in 2026. That’s why Charlie asked me if I’d stay in the battle. He was counting on Rebel News to fight — to cover the news, especially the news that other media won’t cover. He wanted us to continue to take on corruption, and mass immigration, and censorship and to go out among the people and tell their stories, and help fight their battles. He’d be thrilled to know that we have hired Tamara Lich as our newest Rebel. And he’d be excited that we’re going to put her on a campus tour, like Charlie himself would do. I think that’s what he’d want Rebel News to do. What do you think he’d want YOU to do? Mainly, I think he’d want you to not give up, to not be demoralized. To find the energy and hope and faith to keep fighting. And I’d like to think that he’d want you to continue to support us. I won’t presume to speak for him, but he knew we had no big backers — just a lot of little backers, through crowdfunding. He liked that about us. When Charlie told me to keep fighting, I never thought it would be his last request of me. We mention Charlie a fair bit at the Rebel News office; in the new year, Tamara Lich will go from college to college convincing young people to believe in freedom, just like Charlie did. We’re going to have to hire a lot of security for Tamara. In my mind that’s the best way for us to live up to Charlie’s expectations of us, don’t you think? May I invite you to join us, to help me keep my final promise to Charlie? I need your help to protect Tamara, and all of our Rebel journalists who bravely go into the world. We need to pay for security guards, because police just won’t stop Antifa thugs, or transgender extremists. If you contribute $100 or more, we’ll invite you on a special donors-only Zoom call early in the new year, where you can chat with me, Tamara, and our other reporters directly. And any donations of $1,000 or more will also get a one-on-one thank-you phone call from Tamara herself! I want to keep my promise to Charlie, and to you, and to my conscience: I told him I wouldn’t give up, even if things get tough. And I intend to keep that promise. If you can help me — by helping me keep our reporters safe — please do so further down below on this page. Thanks. Charlie Kirk was killed because he was effective at spreading the message of freedom to young people. I believe we can honour his memory by recreating his campus tour here in Canada, featuring Tamara Lich, our newest Rebel reporter. I just need your help with security — we must do what we can to protect her. Please help. Rebel News does ten news stories a day — we tell the other side, as our motto says. But what Charlie loved most about us was when we did things in the world, like Tamara’s upcoming campus tour. Can you please help me make that tour a reality by helping us crowdfund the security for it? Any donation of $100 or more will get you on a private Zoom call with other donors to talk to Tamara and our other reporters! And any donation of $1,000 will also get you a personal one-on-one phone call from her. REPORT by Ezra Levant 🍁🚛:

What the hell do we do now? Where do we go from here? What happens next? Who is supposed to pick up the microphone? No one will ever be able to fill Charlie’s shoes. No one. But I can’t think of anything that would fill his heart and make him prouder than the generation he inspired to pick up the torch and carry it forward. To continue this mission he gave his life for to speak the truth and to fight against evil, to fill the hearts of the world with courage and the love of God. This is the Turning Point of our time. I don’t even know if Charlie intended for that name to pack such a punch, and maybe it seems even more important now, but amid the expected and disgusting hate comments in the wake of Charlie’s death, I am floored and inspired all over again by the thousands of posts I’ve seen from our generation saying that this is their personal awakening to get in the arena, to be on the frontlines of this culture war, and to speak out in courage no matter what the backlash that comes next might look like. And I guess that’s the answer. Who picks up the microphone from here? Who keeps speaking the truth when the world needs it the most? Who keeps pushing back against evil? YOU. You do. We do. Charlie always believed this - that anyone from anywhere can inspire the world if they just have the courage to do it. I have to believe that Charlie lit the spark that will spark a wildfire in this movement. A movement not just to fix our political system or revive the American Dream, but so much bigger. To change culture. To seek and speak truth. To love God authentically and share that love with the world. To transform humanity as Salt and Light through every action we take. For you, Charlie.

Bill Maher Challenges Charlie Rose: “Islam Is Not Like Other Religions” Bill Maher: I think liberals should stop booing me for pointing out that Islam is not like other religions, that it is a unique threat. Charlie Rose: But it's not Islam you're against. Bill Maher: Howard Dean said, “The people in ISIS... I'm about as Islamic as they are,” distancing the vast numbers of Muslims around the world from it. That's just not true. Charlie Rose: It is true. Bill Maher: It is not true, Charlie. There is a connecting tissue between Charlie Rose: You mean behind every Muslim is a future member of some radical Bill Maher: Let me finish. There are illiberal beliefs held by vast numbers of Muslims that I don't think have Charlie Rose: Vast numbers of Christians, too. Bill Maher: No, that's not true. Vast numbers of Christians don't believe that if you leave Christianity, you should be killed. They don't treat women as second-class citizens, and they don't believe drawing Jesus should get you killed. Does ISIS kill people indiscriminately who aren't like them? Yes. Would most Muslims do that or condone it? No. But most Muslims in the world do condone violence just for what you think. Charlie Rose: How do you know that? Bill Maher: First of all, they say it. There's a Pew poll of Egypt where 82% said stoning was the appropriate punishment for adultery, and over 80% thought death was appropriate for leaving Islam. So to claim this religion is like other religions is naive and wrong. Saudi Arabia has also beheaded people for nonviolent crimes, including homosexuality. Charlie Rose: They even cut the hands off a thief. Bill Maher: Right. We're upset when ISIS beheads people, as we should be, but Saudi Arabia does it too, and they're our friends because they have oil. This is the centre of the religion. In Mecca, non-Muslims aren't even allowed into the holy part of the city. If people were being beheaded in Vatican City, don't you think there'd be a bigger outcry? This is the soft bigotry of low expectations. When Muslim people do or believe things we consider extreme, it's somehow not discussed nearly as much. Charlie Rose: I don't believe what we see with ISIS represents Islam. I don't think the Quran teaches them to do this. Bill Maher: Well, you're wrong about that. The Quran absolutely has horrible things about how infidels should be treated. And can we really say women are treated equally in the Muslim world? Their testimony in court is often counted as half. They may need permission to leave the house, and women are forced to wear burqas. And I hear liberals say, “Well, they want to.” They've been brainwashed.

Imagine Zelensky's face after Trump's shocking answers to questions from journalists yesterday about Ukraine: a meeting with Putin, a speedy end to the war, no NATO membership or security guarantees. ▪️The president-elect initially declined to answer a question about whether he would maintain aid to Ukraine during the negotiations. “I’m not going to tell you that,” Trump said. ▪️When asked whether he would provide security guarantees to Ukraine after the war (as Zelensky demands), Trump began to criticize the idea of Ukraine joining NATO. He said that Russia had been saying that such a step was unacceptable for it "for many, many years, long before Putin said so," and that it was "written in stone" (literally, "carved in stone," but some media translate this as "an established agreement"). ➖"And about halfway through, Biden said, no, they should be able to join NATO. Well, then Russia would have somebody right on their doorstep. And I can understand their feeling about that," Trump said. ▪️Later, he made it clear that Ukraine may never join NATO (this moment was not included in the video). That is, he said nothing about security guarantees, but the context of his answer is rather negative. Plus - a clear position against Ukraine joining NATO. ▪️Regarding another of his phrases, there was a discussion in the media about what Trump meant when he said that he “hopes that this will happen much sooner than in 6 months” - about the end of the war or about a meeting with Putin. ▪️The second question from the journalist, who had previously asked about a meeting with Putin, is not clearly audible on the video. It ends with the words "... have a conversation within three to six months?" Trump responded that he expected this conversation to happen "much sooner." ▪️What conversation Trump had in mind - with Putin or about ending the war in general, is not the most important thing in his answer. What is more important is that Trump once again stated that he wants the war in Ukraine to end as soon as possible, "because many, many young people, soldiers, are being killed every day", "hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides are dead. They are lying in the fields and no one can even collect them. It's a disaster", "only human bodies can stop bullets" and Trump regrets that he cannot start negotiations now, but must wait until the inauguration. On the backdrop of it, the Biden administration is to announce the last large military aid package to Ukraine in Ramstein that starts tomorrow.
