My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight you. End of pro-claim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You've got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a turning point to a state college chapter. Go start a turning point to a state high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am. Lord, use me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. The Charlie Kirk show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and

silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends and viewers. All right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk show. It is February 24th, 2026. Blake's holding it down in Phoenix, Arizona. Hey, Andrew, I guess the first thing we should do is we should just make sure everyone realizes that we did not get rid of the studio because I think that happens every time we have one of us in DC. We get all of the panic emails. Yeah, it's all still here. Chairs still here. Nothing has changed. Yeah, that's a good point. Thank you for bringing up what I consider the obvious, but nevertheless we have to bring it up sometimes. I am in DC. I was graciously invited to attend the State of the Union by Representative Andy Ogles. And I'm so I'm here in town. I got a lot of busy stuff today ahead of me, but the show must come first. And Blake, unfortunately, there is a clip that it really broke my heart to see it actually. And we have to

keep hitting this topic. It's a terrible topic to talk about. Actually, it's my least favorite topic to talk about what we have to. And it was President Trump something he said yesterday at the White House. And it's the rise of assassination culture. And we just we have to we have to do it. We have to address it. So let's get right into it. Three 68. I don't know how long I'll be around. A lot of people gun and fall me down. But I will I will not forget them. I'm not going to forget them. I saw that clip actually not until this morning, Blake. I actually watched last night. I didn't log it. I saw that this morning and it broke my heart actually. And of course, he was referencing what happened at Mar-a-Lago with the Austin Martin case where he was killed, apparently trying to assassinate the president, ginned up on conspiracy theories, frustration, whatever, locked inside an ideological echo chamber on social media. And that is the

third known assassination attempt against President Trump in the last two years. And of course, that strikes the heart of this show, the show that bears the name Charlie Kirk, who we lost to an assassin's bullet in September. And we have a huge problem and Charlie knew that we had a huge problem. And it only is getting worse by the day, the rhetoric from the left, the dehumanizing rhetoric from the left is only getting worse. And we're going to explain that in just a second, but I want to play a couple clips here of Charlie himself acknowledging the rise of left-wing political violence in America. This is back in 2020, Charlie raising this issue then, 389. This is going to get really nasty. Everyone listened to this. I just hope you understand. Think of the nastiest moment in 2016. They are not going to let this guy get reelected without the most brutal drawn out fight. We're going to have the tech companies getting involved. Yeah. The media is going to get worse than ever. They're going to be taking out Twitter accounts left and right. They're going to be taking out videos on

YouTube. They're going to be coming after us. They're going to be following us in the middle of the night. They're going to be breaking into our houses. You think I'm joking. They're going to have violent. That you will not be able to walk the streets of the Magahat without your physical health be put in jeopardy. And I hope it doesn't get that way. I hope that this clip gets on earth. And everything's like wonderful. I hope that the country comes together and we have a beautiful, humanitarian healing moment in September. And that's 2020 Blake. Many years ago. And he saw it then. And then this clip, we have to play. We have it loaded up now. 3.79. My fear senator. And I hope I'm wrong. And let's say stay in prayer. Then I'm wrong. That someone is going to get shot the same way that Steve Scalice got shot. And God forbid killed. The left is creating a pressure cooker with so many of their rank and fire paramilitary troops that very well might result in one of us getting shot or killed. God forbid that happens. We're getting death threats every single

day here on the Charlie Kirk show. Such a haunting clip. Blake. And there's more like it, I think. I think we continue to find as we go through the archives more times. Charlie would talk about that. And it always hits me because I remember not taking it as seriously. I would always I would reassure Charlie. People people don't for the most part don't do that. And he he was right to worry. I was I was the idiot. And one reason we're talking about this is not just because of what the president said, but there's endless cases of them to of the left deliberately people who should know better constantly amping up low level actors that mentally and balance the mentally unwell, the people who are. They're more likely to get tipped over the edge. And so I was just absolutely set off yesterday. There was an article in the Atlantic magazine. For those of you who don't read it, the Atlantic is up

there with the New York Times as a prestige outlet of what you would call the mainstream left opinion. Getting published there. Yeah, it's like being on the front page of the New York Times. It's it's more prestigious than the Washington Post. It's like the Wall Street Journal. And one of their editors, Tom Nichols, they slid out this article yesterday. And it is the Republican party has a Nazi problem. Let's see how many times they use the word Nazi in that article. They use the word Nazi in this article at least 15 times. And it just repeatedly says it just says the Republicans have a Nazi problem. This means the United States has a Nazi problem. The responsibility for defeating it is in the 21st century falls to everyone who still believes in the American idea. Just repeatedly saying Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, about the right. And as I said, online last night, it's very clear what's going on here. We had a deranged

leftist who's in court today. We're monitoring that Tyler Robinson. He murdered Charlie because he was whipped up by this rhetoric of Nazis, this rhetoric of genocide. We've had a gunman shoot up an ice facility and kill multiple detainees, but he wanted to kill ice officers. We have these insurgents essentially in Minneapolis constantly getting in the face of ice agents who end up getting shot themselves. But very well, this could end in ice agents being shot. The entire point is to throw it all into tumult. We have multiple transgender radicals. And of course, we've had four attempted assassinations or three attempted assassinations of the president that have ended in someone being shot. And I just can't, it feels deliberate to me that when Tom Nichols goes out here and just writes, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, it is the line left used in the past stochastic terrorism. It is the rhetoric that drives unwel people over the edge so that they're going to go grab a gun and try to

shoot someone because they're nuts and they take this stuff literally. Yeah, well said. And you know, remember Tyler Robinson said that some hate you just can't be negotiated out in reference to Charlie. And just again, I can't underscore enough how much that clip from President Trump just broke my heart watching it. And I think it's specifically because of our proximity to Charlie that it hit so hard. Two assassins would be assassins dead. One, the in jail for a life. And this venom coming from the other side, we don't know whether this person was a mastermind unhinged or what, but they are normalizing this violent violence. It's got to stop. That's Scott Besson. He's absolutely 100% right. He himself has been targeted by political violence. You don't hear as much about it, but I happen to know I think it's been reported somewhere. But listen, in recent years, political violence has become increasingly normalized, shifting from a fringe

extremist kind of movement to mainstream discourse. And you don't have to take my word for it. Just go on TikTok. Just go on TikTok. You'll see videos celebrating the targeting vice officers all over the place. You'll see them celebrating going after top Trump administration officials. It's assassination culture and it glorifies targeted killings as acts of justice against perceived oppressors, which you could just insert MAGA or conservatives. And it's fueled by social media in these echo chambers. Mangioni, his 2024 assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson has been celebrated by segments of the far left is heroic resistance. Hashtags like free Luigi have gained traction with over 50,000 posts and they call him a hero. The idolization risks massive amounts of copycat killers. You just look at this graph. This graph is we've brought it up before and it's

so important. Look at image 31. This was taken, this poll was taken in the immediate aftermath of Charlie's assassination. And the question was posed is it ever justified for citizens to resort to violence in order to achieve political goals. This is the percent responding yes. In the 18 to 39 group of liberals, 30% said yes, violence was justified. We have other polls that say almost 50% would suggest the same thing for Elon Musk and over 50% 55% would say the same for President Trump. There it is. That's that graphic that they think it would be justified to kill those men to achieve a political end. Since 2025, assaults on ice officers have skyrocketed 1800% overall with vehicular attacks up 3200%. Blake mentioned before that a gunman shot up an ice facility didn't kill any ice officers, but he killed a few detainees. Incidents include attempted murders and protest turning violent.

Charlie's assassination by Tyler Robinson, who cited Charlie's quote, unquote, hate as his motive exemplifies far left inspired violence, post assassination, some online reactions celebrated it, gross, vile, disgusting online celebrations, mirroring mangeonies fandom and fueling lawsuits over free speech crackdown. Charlie was assassinated for speaking his mind in the public's public square. And what is the point? The point is they want to strike at the heart of free expression and free speech open discourse. They want to silence conservative voices. It's a terrifying escalation and normalization of political violence and assassination culture. This is why we watch it so closely. This is why we're going to have our eyes on the Tyler Robinson case this afternoon, just a little bit. Yeah, what does this do? It chills dissent. It heightens threats to public officials. You have numbers of the Trump administration living in military bases

in and around DC because they are no longer safe to live in a normal home. If unchecked, this legitimately could unravel the fabric of democracy, replacing ballots with bullets and dialogue with division, pushing America toward a fractured future where voices are silenced, not by votes, but by violence. This is much worse than the Heckler's veto. This is the assassin's veto. And it must stop. We have to get to root causes. And when you see articles like this from the Atlantic, which is a complete joke, which is an intentional provocation is Blake said earlier, inviting crazy people to take shots at conservatives by calling them all Nazis. The problem is only going to get worse. It's not going to get better. This is not a prestige publication. This is a joke of a publication that wants conservatives dead. No, I think I got to push back with you on that one, Andrew. That's the problem. It is not a, it's not a joke publication.

First, he's not joking. And second, it, it really is despite whatever we'd say, is a prestige outlet over a million subscribers. They are, they are one of those very rare bastions that still has a huge amount of the prestige. I agree. Whatever you want from half a century ago. And that is exactly why it's, it's so dangerous. It's one thing if these insane things get written in, I don't know, someone's blog, if it's on a sub-stack post, this is one of the rare publications that can blast out an insane take, two millions of people and the launder it as a legitimate one. And the stuff he says in the article is just so over the top. They just, we should highlight some of the, the throw up 386, the Department of Homeland Security used an anthem beloved by neo-Nazi groups. By God, we'll have our home again in a recruitment ad. The Labor Department hung a banner of Donald Trump's face from its headquarters as if Washington were Berlin in 1936.

It posted expressions on social media, such as America is for Americans, an obvious riff on the Nazi slogan Germany is for Germans. Yes, it's common sense, it's a repeatedly, it's a repeatedly overriding thing and all of these hysterical takes that, like, they just kind of, they BS you, whatever you want to say about what you can tell your race. It's obviously not insane to say America should look out for Americans. America should be for Americans. So they have to like just say, well, it's a Nazi slogan. It's a Nazi slogan to say that you don't want to be a Nazi. Do you? And then in the article, he's, he like has to cover for the fact that he's like, well, yeah, the left, you know, we used to, we've lionized Angela Davis, a college professor who helped murder a judge. You know, we, we all partied with Bill Ares, a terrorist who mailed bombs to the military and the Congress, but like, you know, that's different. You know, our terrorism's up like, I think he gives up the, the real story here in 385,

this image critics of the GOP have long argued, they've long argued. Something like the Trump movement and the emergence of a new American Nazism was inevitable that conservatism is a belief system inevitably decays into fascism. So this is their core ideology. And this is why you see these unhinged reactions across the Atlantic, by the way, to the rise of conservative populist movements, like MAGA, because they believe that it's a runaway train that they must stop by not just punching a Nazi, by killing a Nazi. And make no mistake, that is the through line that if force was justified to take out Hitler and the Third Reich in Germany, well, then force is justified to kill conservatives here because it inevitably decays into fascism. This is their, their fear. They stay up at night thinking that all of you watching this right now are Nazis, that I'm a Nazi, that we're all fascists. And so why not just take out a gun and shoot one of us? They've done it before and they're going to do it again.

Chip Roy, great congressman from the state of Texas running for attorney general in the state of Texas. Welcome back to the show, sir. Great to be on Bella's Hipper doing well. Thank you. Yeah. Well, you know, to be honest, and I'd love for you to chime in on this chip. There's it's just, you know, we spent the first two seconds of the show going over this ridiculous article from the Atlantic on assassinate or calling everybody Nazis that is the conservative Nazis fascists also. And I just can't help but make the connection that they want conservative debt, the dehumanizing rhetoric, this assassination attempt again against President Trump, police congressman. Well, as you all know, because you all had witness testimony, participate. We had a hearing in the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, which I chair, to address this topic.

And one of the things I did immediately after the brutal murder of Charlie was to call on a special select committee, which so many of my member colleagues had joined with me in that call. And we haven't done it yet. But I think we need to be very focused on the flow of the money and the organized effort by the radical Marxist left to target conservatives, to target Christians, to target our Judean Christian values, all an intentional way to foment that hatred and divide us, which then puts a specific target on our key conservative leaders, whether it was President Trump, whether it was Charlie, whether it was as we had, and you know, Tony Perkins, whose Family Research Council was targeted about a decade ago and shot up when the Southern Property Law Center made very clear and put them on their hate map list. And now that I'm daring to co-chair the Sharia Free America Caucus that I co-founded with Keith Self, my fellow Texan. Now, care is putting us on a hate list. I can't remember what it's called,

but somehow, you know, I'm now a hater because I believe we should stand up on our Judea Christian values and defend those against the Islamification of the country. And I just touched on a lot of issues. But the main one is the organized effort by the Marxist left that is well-funded, it's purposeful, and they are putting targets on us and using rhetoric intentionally to raise that temperature. You're 100% right, Congressman, and I'm absolutely sick of it. I've been sick of it. Charlie was sick of it. He called it out. He warned about it. He lost his life because we're not taking this seriously. And our colleagues on the other side of the aisle, as we like to say, continue to call us fascist Nazis and put it us on hate list. This was SBLC put turning point on its hate map, image 27. And I mean, you sort of wonder, you know, does this contribute to this cycle of violence? And it's coming from the left. And I'm so sick of hearing about how we have a violence problem on both sides. Maybe we do. Maybe it's rising on the right and we're going to see it emerge.

But right now, it's coming from the left to the right. And I'm just, I'm sick of it. I know this is why we had you on the show today, sir, but I'm grateful for your input. It's just, it's got to stop. No, I'll talk about whatever issue you all want to talk about. We'll talk about the state of union dress. We can talk about Sharia law. But really, this is the central issue. Okay, all of the issues that we're going to address as conservatives, as Godfiring Americans all go through this central issue, that they are an organized bunch of Marxists who want to undermine our country. That's it. Like what Charlie, when I go out on the campaign trail, I talk about a number of things about Charlie. And by the way, I'm careful. Charlie was a good friend in the political circles. I don't go around masquerading like he and I were best buds. But talk about responsive. Like I would text Charlie, hey, what's going on? Our last substantive conversation was about the Islamification of America and the West. But when I talk about Charlie, I say two things. One, he wasn't afraid to call out

that organized bunch of Marxists and the extent to which they are organized against us. And two, and most importantly, it wasn't the freedom, shirt, respectfully. It wasn't talking about limited government and constitution, all great things, all important. It was that he was going to college campuses and proclaiming the gospel of Christ. And I want to stop and hold there for a second. Because nothing else matters. The freedom that we're talking about, the ability to carry out our lives according to our conscience. None of that matters if we're not proclaiming the gospel of Christ. And we get wrapped around our American axle. And we hide behind the first amendment to say that we don't talk about those things. Charlie talked about those things. TPUSA leads on those things. Keep doing it. It is central. And that organized Marxist left. It's all biblical. The advance of the Islamification. That's all biblical. We are at war.

We are at war in this world. And it is a predicted war. And we need to gird our loins for that battle. And we need to be proud of it. We need to be defensive of our families and our heritage and our community and who we are as Americans. And what that's meant for the world. And why should we laws bad? And why the Islamification of America would destroy all that is good and great about Western civilization and what America means for it. So sorry for that little bit of a rant. But that's so central and everything. Congressman, I just want to say quickly that you've always been very gracious in the way you talk about Charlie. And Charlie and you were great friends. And he believed in you and you had your back. You came on the show constantly with Charlie. And I'm grateful that you come on the show with us. You have helped make the Islamification of Texas a massive issue in that primary season in that state. Why is this happening? Like we've talked about this before. But can we get brass tacks? Like who the heck is funding this crap? Like who's green lighting it?

Who's hiding behind, you know, whatever law or statute? You know, why can't we make this stop in a proud red state of Texas? Well, we can if we choose to. And I'm proud to co-chair the Srivary American Caucus with Keith Self. I've introduced legislation to take away the tax status for care. I introduce legislation to vet people for their adherence to Sriva law. And I've introduced legislation to pause all immigration until we do those things and other things to get our house in order in terms of who we are as Americans. We have 51 and a half million foreign-born people that's 16% of the population. That's the highest percentage we've ever had. We froze immigration in the 1920s. We should do it again. But to answer your question, Texas has three or four key problems. Number one, Texas is suffering from a failure by the federal government to secure the border, both from an illegal immigration standpoint. But importantly, legal immigration. We've allowed the abuse of H-1D visas, of so-called diversity visas,

of the S-I-V issues with respect to Afghanistan, and all of these things to bring loads of people into our country, post-9-11, who are Islamists. Number two, Texas, with all due respect to our current leadership, has sold itself to the corporate establishment in Texas that wants labor. And they hide behind saying, we need, quote, skilled labor. But the truth is, they're just importing people that do not adhere to our values. And at some point, you've got to defend Texas. And as Attorney General, my message to a lot of the business leaders is, I'm going to defend the state of Texas and our value system. As much as I am, the needs for businesses to have labor. Let's make sure we're building our labor from within and make sure we defend our values. But I have those two things. Wide open borders, a loose legal immigration system on issues bringing people in from countries that are Islamic, centric, and then businesses driving the agenda in Texas has driven so many people into the state of Texas.

Again, plus the open border. I completely agree. Part of it is a federal issue with this mass immigration. We're still doing 1.2 million green cards a year, okay? And a lot of this is visa, lottery, a lot of this is family reunification. We're importing the third world still, even with the border closed, and we're not addressing it. Secondly, I do agree Texas is beholden to corporate interests. It just is. You go around that state and the developers are running roughshod. So something's got to give. Speaking of Texas, though, Congressman, you surprised me. You have spoken out on the Brandon Herrera race. Explain why you chose to do that and why now? So two years ago, at the very end of the primary in May, I endorsed Brandon Herrera. I know Brandon, and he loves freedom. He's a big second amendment guy. We met, we visited. And frankly, I probably should have endorsed him sooner, but it's tough. It's tough when you, you know, with your delegation in Texas. You know, we usually don't endorse against each other. But with all due respect, Tony had been against us on so many issues.

HR2, HR29, my bell, I won't get into the weeds, but he was a thorn in our side when we were trying to secure the border. So I and ultimately endorsed Brandon. He came within 150 votes or so, winning that primary. And I wish he had. And then I, you know, look, you come back together, you work with your colleagues. I was inclined to support Brandon, but because I'm running statewide in Texas, I've largely stayed out of primaries, right? It's just not that advised. If you're running statewide, especially, you know, when you're your first running statewide, you could jump in a bunch of primaries. But this wouldn't matter. And then when the news is breaking about Tony, we've known some of these things that were out there, but they're rumors and you got to give people due process. You don't jump to conclusions based on what's put out on social media. But enough smoke tells me there's fire. And we need a standard bearer for Texas 23 who can hold that seat. And we need a God fearing strong conservative. And I think Brandon fits that bill. So yesterday, I think I called on Tony to step out of the race and I endorsed Brandon. I think I was the first Texan and one of the first in the Congress to do it.

And, you know, I haven't yet called him to resign because I think due process matters. I think you got to like get authenticity of information and all of that. And I think it's dangerous. For example, this Florida woman, Democrat who's indicted, I haven't called on her to resign yet either, even though she probably should. But, you know, I think you got to let you process play out. Sorry, I didn't mean to fill up us for that. No, no, no, you're great. And we want to talk about the cartels. You've been leading on that issue to Congressman. There's so much there. Please everybody go to chipproy.com, check out his campaign, get behind him. Like Charlie was behind him. I think you're going to do a great job. Congressman is a attorney general in Texas. And we'll have you back on again soon. Much news to discuss. Thank you, sir. Thanks, guys. Appreciate y'all. Thanks for the support and the endorsement. God bless you. Hi, folks. Andrew Colvet here. I'd like to tell you about my friends over at Y-Refi. You've probably been hearing me talk about Y-Refi for some time now. We are all in with these guys.

So I do have breaking news from the Tyler Robinson trial. Blake, and you've been following this along with us. So there was a motion by the defense to dismiss the prosecutor because one of the prosecution's team,

other prosecutors on the team had a daughter there, and apparently they moved to disqualify the entire prosecution because of this. A motion if accepted would have delayed this trial enormously. I think it's difficult to overstate that. And the court has now denied the motion, which is great news for justice. Yes, it was just, it was a big delaying effort. It was kind of a, it was a Hail Mary. You'd force out all the prosecutors in the office. Then they would have to send it to either the AG's office or a different county. You delay it for months. You muddled the case more. You drive people more into a frenzy about things. Because as we've said, the best counter to a lot of the wild things we've seen online that we've seen in our own inboxes that we've seen on X is people want justice for what happened. They need to see the process plain out. And it's been so frustrating to people seeing how glacial things are moving. It's been frustrating to us above all. We're constantly asking,

okay, when is there finally going to be a journey? Where is there finally going to be a trial? They were trying to drag it out even further. And very thankfully, the judge did rule against this motion. So that means we're going to at least stay on the schedule that we'd set before. So here's the actual language. The court now reads its ruling. We're getting video just breaking, which will be made available and posted later today. Before the court defends its motion to disqualify Utah County Attorney's Office, defendant argues that high level prosecutor, a sign to this case has a concurrent conflict of interest. And because no efforts were made to screen him the entire office should be to qualify. Again, this is coming from the defense. This is a judgment. Because defendant has not established a factual basis for finding conflict of interest or objective appearance of impropriety rising to a constitutional concern. His motion is respectfully denied. So as we looked, so this was a big one that we were we marked on the calendar to see if this case was going to get delayed

or if the speedy trial promise that we are afforded is one in his cases. The defendant was actually going to be met. But yes, to Blake's point, this was a, this was a delay tactic. It has been denied by the court. So we're grateful there. So next landmarks to keep an eye on, we are all eyes on May. So May is going to be the big month and that is going to be the preliminary hearing where the prosecution team, which will now stay in place, is going to present the mountain of evidence that they have accumulated over the course of these months against Tyler Robinson. I'm told a lot of this is evidence that you have not seen or heard before. Some of it was in the original charging documents, but there is going to be additional evidence. And I just harken back to the words of Jonathan Turley, who reviewed this case and said that if 90%, if the defense was successful in getting rid of 90% of the evidence against Tyler Robinson, he'd still be found guilty

and subject to capital punishment for his crime. And so to think that you could lose 90% of what we already know exists, still get a guilty verdict. But then there's even more that they haven't yet made public, mountains more potentially, is it very, I guess comforting thought as we seek justice for Charlie. Blake, I don't know if you have any other thoughts on this matter, but it's a big moment. It is a, it's just a genuine mercy. We're very happy to see it. I think we have the closest now. We can't talk about it as much for obvious reasons, but this is it's trying for us to observe it. It causes us a lot of stress to see updates like this. And we do have to trust the process. And it's good when the process plays along and shows you what you'd want to see, which is this sort of thing. And we are loaded. We have the clip 404. The court now reads its ruling, which will be made available and posted later today.

Before the court is defendant's motion to disqualify, Utah County Attorney's Office. Yes, defendant argues that high-level prosecutor assigned to this case has a concurrent conflict of interest. And because no efforts were made to screen him, the entire office should be disqualified. Because defendant has not established a factual basis for a finding of conflict of interest, or an objective appearance of impropriety, rising to a constitutional concern. His motion is respectfully denied. Good. And I guess they're moving to a death penalty discussion upcoming, so we're going to continue monitoring that. But this is, I feel like, been a really important show, actually. You sometimes wake up in the morning and you don't know which ones are going to be important. When I saw that, I think they're all important, but some are more so. But when I saw that clip from President Trump, was this moment of vulnerability from the commander-in-chief ahead of what's typically considered

the most or one of the most important addresses to the nation on the calendar. And so he's going to talk about, you know, the economy, the winds, focus on domestic tranquility and success, and overshadowing so much of this conversation tonight is this idea that the left wants political violence exacted upon its political enemies, conservatives, MAGA. God bless Chip Roy for addressing it in committee. But more work needs to be done. This needs to be rooted out at a very deep level. It's still our friend from us, the host of this show, whose name is still on this show. It is almost taken President Trump's life, countless others in the administration. And it is a pall that hangs over this whole country. It's a tragedy. It's an evil, and it must be blotted out. Pray for America. Pray for this country.
