Charlie Kirk: Tired of ‘Being Lectured By Activist Press’ Over ‘Domestic Violent Extremists’

“Do you think you would have heard about the story of a 41-year-old man who got in a car and hunted down an 18-year-old, if that 18-year-old was a black Democrat?”

“Domestic violent extremist” is a new political buzzword, and conservative radio host and podcaster Charlie Kirk is tired of the phrase already, pointing out, in his view, it is only used to describe conservatives.

“Every time you turn on the television they’re talking about domestic violent extremists. We watch MSNBC so you don’t have to,” Kirk said. “So when they talk about domestic violent extremists, who exactly are they talking about? Well, they’re trying to create a caricature. They’re trying to create an idea that half the country is ready to start and foment a civil war. When you look at the news — especially in the last couple of days — you have to ask the question who exactly is committing the acts of domestic violent extremism? Who’s the one actually doing domestic violent extremism?”

Kirk then continued by pointing out the lack of media coverage surrounding the murder of a North Dakota teenager.

“Did you hear about the incident of somebody who hunted down a teenager based on their political views? Do you think you would have heard about the story of a 41-year-old man who got in a car and hunted down an 18-year-old, if that 18-year-old was a black Democrat? You think you would have heard about that story? Would you be getting push notifications from Apple News? Front page of CNN.com? Do you think that it would be something that would probably get denunciations from every major political leader?”

The Charlie Kirk Show host then lamented the use of the phrase and how it will be used to continue government overreach.

“We are being lectured to, non-stop, by the people in the activist press, about domestic violent extremism. They’re talking about it on cable television, they’re talking about it in congressional hearings, they’re talking about it as justification to expand and strengthen the Patriot Act, and this entire national security leviathan.”

SiriusXM radio host Howard Stern told “Morning Joe’s” Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist in an extensive interview that MSNBC is the network for him regarding cable news consumption. 

Stern stated that he’s a major fan of “Morning Joe” and went the extra mile to say that he and co-host Joe Scarborough share the same political idealogy.

“I watch you guys every morning,” Stern said (h/t Mediaite). “I really enjoy the show. Oddly, I agree politically with almost everything Joe says. I don’t think there’s much difference there.”

The radio host thanked MSNBC for providing him with what he loves: 24/7 news. Additionally, Stern offered a shoutout to network host Symone Sanders and stated he’s no fan of Dateline repeats.

“By the way, I want to give a shoutout to MSNBC,” Stern added. “Thank God you don’t play the old Datelines anymore on the weekends. I like news. I watch this channel exclusively for news. I tune out on the weekend. 

“It’s like all news stuff. I’m watching old Datelines. I like when you guys are onI like news 24/7, and now I find I’m getting it. I get Symone on the weekend. Big fan of hers. Symone coming on strong. What can I tell you? I know the whole lineup.”

Charges against John DePetro have been dismissed as the radio host faced a trespassing charge related to an incident over the summer during a Monday court hearing.

DePetro was arrested in mid-August outside a home on Staples Avenue in Warwick.

Police searched the house several months earlier as part of an investigation into the disappearance of Charlotte Lester, who has been missing for six months.

“I respect our justice system and respect law enforcement, specifically the Warwick PD,” DePetro said on Twitter. “The search for Charlotte Lester continues as I resume efforts searching for answers into her disappearance and holding Mark Perkins accountable for his actions against myself and Ladybug.”

The man who lives there, Mark Perkins, was also arrested the following day after he allegedly charged at DePetro with a lawnmower while DePetro was live-streaming. 

Unlike DePetro, who had his charges dismissed, Perkins still faces an assault charge, according to court records.

Champlin Broadcasting Conservative Talk The Eagle 96.9 KQOB Enid/Oklahoma City and 1640 KZLS Enid will look a little different for its listeners as the station has rebranded.

Rather than calling itself The Eagle 96.9, the radio station will now be known as Freedom 96.9 (h/t Radio Insight). KZLS started simulcasting on KQOB at the beginning of this year after the 96.9 signal was leased to Citadel and Cumulus Media for nineteen years. 

The station features a syndicated lineup, including Hugh Hewitt, Brian Kilmeade, Dan Bongino, Mike Gallagher, Joe Pags, and Bill O’Reilly. Furthermore, with the rebrand possibly comes a new addition.

Freedom 96.9 is teasing the addition of Dana Loesch to the lineup as well to enhance the rebrand further as the station begins a new chapter as it provides news/talk to the residents.
