Capitol Report Full Broadcast (Sept. 15)

Good evening and welcome to the Capitol Report on Entity Television. I'm Steve Lance. Coming up, President Trump saying he would designate Antifa, a domestic terror organization, condemning political violence in the wake of the assassination of conservative thought leader Charlie Kirk. And authorities say the man suspected of killing Kirk revealed his plans in a text message. The investigators also saying DNA evidence links back to the suspect. This is Capitol Report, live from our global headquarters in our nation's capital. Here's Steve Lance. The White House doubling down on condemning political violence after the fatal shooting of conservative thought leader Charlie Kirk. We go live now to Entity's Mari Otsu, who's at the White House. Good evening, Mari. So in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, there's some that are actually celebrating his death. These are popping up, ranging from all sectors of our society, really. Some of the claims are saying that he was spreading hateful rhetoric, as they put it. The White House, meantime, saying it's these false claims that are fueling political violence, including the assassination itself. So how is the administration planning to address this? Good evening to you too, Steve. Indeed. And today, the White House is condemning all forms of political violence, domestic terrorism, and radicalization after Charlie Kirk's assassination. And just moments ago, President Trump is saying that designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization is, quote, 100% something that he would do. Let's take a look. Antifa is terrible. Are there other groups that you can think of? There are other groups, yeah. There are other groups. We have some pretty radical groups, and they got away with murder. You can see they're professional agitators. It looks like he became radicalized over the internet. And they're all on their phones all the time. Parents have got to monitor that, because this starts when you're young. Yeah, they are being radicalized. This is coming as Vice President J.D. Vance today is hosting the Charlie Kirk show from the White House, along with other administration officials honoring Kirk's life and legacy. And while a large part of the show was dedicated to Kirk's life, another significant part of the show was dedicated to focusing on how his assassination, something like that, should never happen again. So the Trump administration is saying that they're going to go after the NGO network that foments, facilitates, and engages in violence, with President Trump announcing that these organizations are already under, quote, major investigation. Take a look. When you look at the agitators, the American flag burnings all over the place, they're already under major investigation. We wouldn't celebrate if something happened on their side, and we don't. These are sick people. And Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, condemns what he calls a growing domestic terrorist movement in the U.S. Miller says that people celebrating and cheering Charlie Kirk's assassination is not a fringe phenomenon, but extends to federal workers, bureaucrats, educators, professors, and nurses. The organized doxxing campaigns, the organized riots, the organized street violence, the organized campaigns of dehumanization, vilification, posting people's addresses, combining that with messaging that's designed to trigger and incite violence, and the actual organized cells that carry out and facilitate the violence, it is a vast domestic terror movement. Vice President Vance characterizes this violence as a collection of forces like a pyramid. Not every member of that pyramid would commit a murder. In fact, over 99 percent, I'm sure, would not. But by celebrating that murder, many of these people are creating an environment where things like this are inevitably going to happen. We can thank God that most Democrats don't share these attitudes, and I do. Vance recounts being harassed at Disneyland while with his wife and kids. He also shares the story of a senior White House staffer who had people in his neighborhood hand out leaflets telling people what he looked like and where he lived, encouraging neighbors to harass him just after Kirk's assassination. The Vice President says that while these people don't constitute the majority of Americans, he urges Americans to unite in condemnation of the actions and ideas that killed Charlie Kirk. There is no unity with someone who lies about what Charlie Kirk said in order to excuse his murder. There is no unity with the people who celebrate Charlie Kirk's assassination, and there is no unity with the people who fund these articles, who pay the salaries of these terrorist sympathizers who argue that Charlie Kirk, a loving husband and father, deserved a shot to the neck because he spoke words with which they disagreed. Vance and Miller say that they will do their best in the coming months to activate all resources at the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, and throughout the government to identify and dismantle these terrorist networks. Steve, back to you. I've been in office seven years. I'm tired of crime holding the great city of Memphis back. Memphis, which sits in the red state led by a Republican governor, had the nation's highest crime rate per 100,000 people last year, according to FBI data. President Trump says he'll likely deploy the National Guard to Chicago next, and that St. Louis is also on the list. Meantime, the president also announcing a U.S. strike on a second Venezuelan boat, saying it was carrying narcotics headed to the United States. President Trump says the strike killed three terrorists, adding that it was to stop violent cartels from transporting drugs that kill Americans. And on China, President Trump says he'll talk to Chinese regime leader Xi Jinping this Friday, in part to finalize the TikTok deal. The administration announcing today it has reached a framework for a deal that could allow TikTok to keep operating in the United States instead of being completely banned. Authorities have new details about the man suspected of assassinating Charlie Kirk last week. Officials say they now have DNA evidence and text messages revealing a potential motive for the killer. NTV's Jack Bradley reports from the Utah County Jail. Behind me is where Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect involved in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, is being held without bail at Utah County Jail. Robinson is the sole suspect in the assassination, which happened last Wednesday in front of a crowd of thousands at Utah Valley University. Investigators have now found text messages in which Robinson allegedly wrote that he has the chance to kill Charlie Kirk and that he would. His family has collectively told investigators that he subscribed to left-wing ideology and even more so in these last couple of years. And he had a text message exchange, he the suspect, with another individual in which he claimed that he had an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do it because of his hatred for what Charlie stood for. DNA evidence may link back to Robinson as well, including a screwdriver that was found on the roof where Robinson allegedly shot Kirk from and a towel wrapped around the firearm that was abandoned in a wooded area. The DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody. The father informed us for an interview of him that he looked at the video that we released that evening and the enhanced photos and identified the suspect. FBI Director Cash Patel also says that his department is investigating a group chat that Robinson was allegedly a part of on the discord app with more individuals that are going to be interviewed. Utah Governor Spencer Cox on Sunday saying the suspect is being uncooperative but that his transgender roommate boyfriend is cooperating with investigators. He's not cooperating but all the people around him are cooperating. Robinson will make his first court appearance on Tuesday. He faces multiple charges including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm and obstruction of justice. If convicted on the aggravated murder charge he could face the death penalty in the state of Utah. Charlie Kirk's funeral and memorial service will take place on Sunday in Arizona in a stadium that can hold up to 60,000 people. President Trump said that he will be attending. Reporting from Spanish Fork, Utah, Jack Bradley, NTD News. Meanwhile the assassination of Charlie Kirk is drawing condemnation from both sides of the aisle. Several prominent Democrats are now urging people to turn down the rhetoric. Here's a look. Political violence is the enemy of democracy and we have an obligation on all sides to fight it at every turn. We must condemn it whenever it arises, wherever it arises, including this heinous murder of Charlie Kirk. When I represent a state like Pennsylvania that keeps you honest and you always can't forget that a lot of Americans happen to disagree with you, that does not mean that they are fascists. Now look what happened to Charlie Kirk. I mean, you know, that man was shot. Now we have to turn the temperature down. And not only was Charlie assassinated but a part of our core American principles were also assassinated, you know, and that is that we litigate with words not weapons. And whether you agreed or disagreed with Charlie Kirk, you know, what he espoused in his mission was actually to do exactly what I'm encouraging all of us to start doing more of, which is to spend time together and show up at events and don't attack but listen, learn, educate, and debate. Vice President J.D. Vance hosting the Charlie Kirk podcast show today, joined by members of the president's cabinet. He says that political violence is not a both sides problem, shining a light on differing moral beliefs between the right and some on the far left. Vance says that most Democrats are not celebrating the assassination, but something that has gone wrong with those who are. 24% of self-described, quote, very liberals believe it is acceptable to be happy about the death of a political opponent, while only 3% of self-described very conservatives agree. 26% of young liberals believe political violence is sometimes justified, and only 7% of young conservatives say the same, celebrating that murder, apologizing for it, and emphasizing not Charlie's innocence, but the fact that he said things some didn't like, even to the point of lying about what he actually said. Many of these people are creating an environment where things like this are inevitably going to happen. There is no unity with the people who celebrate Charlie Kirk's assassination, and there is no unity with the people who fund these articles, who pay the salaries of these terrorist sympathizers. Coming up, an emotional Sunday night in Washington, D.C., as hundreds, if not thousands, attending a prayer vigil for Charlie Kirk. Arizona State Senator Jake Hoffman hosted that event. He'll be joining us to reflect on Charlie's legacy. At UCLA, placing an employee on leave following social media posts in which he appeared to celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk. We'll be looking into that and more when we return. You are not hidden. There's never been a moment you were forgotten. You are not hopeless. You have been broken. Your innocence stolen.

And welcome back to the Capitol Report. I'm Steve Lance. This past Sunday evening, hundreds if not thousands of people packed into Washington, D.C.'s Kennedy Center to attend a prayer vigil for the late Charlie Kirk. Arizona State Senator Jake Hoffman emceed the event and he's joining us right here now to reflect on Charlie's impact and legacy. Arizona State Senator Jake Hoffman, thanks so much for taking a moment. You're very welcome. Thanks for having me. Senator, you hosted the vigil last night in Washington, D.C. for Charlie Kirk. Tell us about what Charlie meant to you personally and what this vigil stood for. Well, you know, I've known Charlie for, gosh, 11 years now. We've worked together for about 10 of those years. And Charlie, despite being nine years younger than me, I always viewed him much more as a mentor. You know, the early days, it was, you know, it was it really was three scrappy young guys who were just working 24-7, 365, trying to build something great. And then as the organization grew, I really watched him form into the man that he became. You know, I watched him meet Erica and get married. I watched him have kids. And, you know, that is the biggest heartbreak in this entire situation for me, is that Erica lost a husband and his two little babies. They lost a dad. And, you know, Charlie was an incredible dad, an incredible husband. And at the end of the day, we know that family and our faith is really the two most important things in our life. And so I just, you know, I ask, you know, all of your viewers to pray for Erica and that family, that God's, you know, divine peace would just pour over them. But look, the bottom line with Charlie is that what you saw in front of the camera was the same man behind the camera. And that is so rare in American culture today, that you have somebody that is so genuine, that they can speak truth in a loving, kind, but very convicted and direct way publicly. And then behind the scenes, they treat their staff, they treat their loved ones with the same level of honesty and authenticity. And, you know, the world will miss Charlie, but what I think we're seeing is that his impact is going to be far greater than I think he could have ever even dreamt while he was with us. You know, Charlie really wanted to be known for his faith. Everything that he did really circled back to his faith. It was a centerpiece for everything around him. Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, was at the vigil last night and spoke about those who are celebrating Charlie's death or full of anger over the causes that he stood for. Let's have a listen. Unfortunately, they do not have the spiritual happiness that Charlie experienced. They're empty. And this is where their anger is coming from, is their rejection of God, their desire to be God. Therefore, they have made God their enemy. Senator, is it time to bring faith and spirituality back into the national conversation? And as these millions of Americans are starting to actually know Charlie that didn't before and find out who this person is that is, you know, captured national attention, what do you hope that they will come across in their search? Well, listen, as I said last night in my closing comments, you know, Charlie proved that, you know, one man plus God equals a majority. I think that, you know, Charlie's legacy here is actually not political at all. It is mostly faith-based. I would pray that we would have a great American revival because like we've seen with the export of freedom from America to the ends of the earth, I believe that we can have that same export of a faith revitalization that will not only lift people out of poverty and despair, but will give people eternal life. And that would be the greatest legacy possible for my good friend, Charlie. There seems to be this narrative building. It's almost as if the talking point sheets have been sent out through the media, social media. It's really like the two sides, a narrative that has been painted so often about, you know, Charlie, you know, spreading hate. What is your message to those who think that about Charlie and also the separate issue of those who think that would somehow justify shooting somebody in the first place? That's a great question or a couple of questions. Look, the reality is if you go back and objectively watch any of Charlie's debates, you will not see any hate. What you will see is kindness and compassion. And in fact, I think let's just take one example, and that's his many, many debates with members of the trans community, a community that is deeply struggling and deeply in need of honesty and truth in their lives. And Charlie would take the time when the crowd would, you know, understandably kind of heckle and cheer. He would put up his hands and he would say, hold on, let's stop. Let them talk. That level of civility in today's political climate is one of a kind and rare. And I think that should be the takeaway from his debate style is that he wanted everyone to have a voice, not just those who disagreed with him. And so, you know, look, I think as we move forward, we need to continue to do better as a political class, as an activist class at being emblematic of how Charlie engaged in debate, because when it comes to that, that duality, that two sides mentality, this is not a two sides game. This assassination is opening some eyes to the belief, some people's eyes to the beliefs of the far left. How can we approach and deal with fundamentally un-American values? Well, look, you know, Charlie always said that the best way to fight bad ideas is with good ideas, right? We do not want to ever become the party or the movement that tries to silence the other side, no matter how wrong they might be. What we instead need to do is engage them in open and honest conversation. What we need to do is have a free exchange of ideas that allows for us to reinstill the values of our founding fathers back into the current dialogue of this country. And I think at the end of the day, the key solution that we're all searching for when it comes to this political divide and when it comes to those who are gravitating towards the far left is we have to have a return to a moral and faith-filled people, right? And the more we can do that, the better off our nation will be, the better off our future generations will be. And quite frankly, I think we are seeing a return to this with younger generations. And Charlie Kirk is leading people to Jesus. And that's what's going to save not only political culture, but American culture and Western civilization in the coming years. Really powerful stuff. Arizona State Senator Jake Hoffman, greatly appreciate taking a moment. Thank you very much. A UCLA employee has been placed on administrative leave after postings surfaced online appearing to celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk. The university has since responded. And today's Christina Corona has more. Social media posts from a UCLA employee have resurfaced following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The posts included comments celebrating Kirk's death and statements saying, you can't force people to mourn someone who hated us no matter how he died. Another read, it is okay to be happy when someone who hated you and called for your people's death dies, even if they are murdered. The employee holds the position of director of race and equity at UCLA. Corey DeAngelis on X compiled some of the posts, which were primarily shared on Blue Sky. UCLA released a statement on Sunday saying UCLA has placed a campus employee on immediate leave and has launched an investigation following reports of social media posts regarding the murder of Charlie Kirk. They go on to say, while free expression is the core value of UCLA, violence of any kind, including the celebration of it, is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Thousands gathered at Huntington Beach Saturday and Sunday to remember Charlie Kirk. Attendees held candles, waved flags, and placed flowers at the site. The vigil, organized by local supporters and Turning Point USA affiliates, included moments of silence, speeches, and songs honoring Kirk's influence on conservative youth activism. Christina Corona, NTD News. And on Saturday, hundreds of South Koreans were chanting, we are Charlie Kirk. Also on their banners calling to require visas for Chinese people entering South Korea. You can find out more on that tonight on China in Focus with Tiffany Meyer at 9 p.m. Eastern. And coming up, Vice President J.D. Vance today saying about one in four liberal college students believes political violence is sometimes justified. We'll discuss this with our panel, Denny Salas and Kaitlin Rowe, when we come back. During high school, I hung with the wrong crowd, and I never graduated. I helped Santiago in many different ways, like all fathers do, because he always wanted to go to college. I felt a little embarrassed to come back to school, but eventually once I came here, I knew that it's for a bigger goal. He was very dedicated, hardworking. He connected with his teachers, he connected with other students. That was one of the key reasons why he was able to keep forging ahead. It was amazing to see him graduate. This was one thing that meant so much to him, and of course, it meant so much to us too. With the help of my father and having my son, that was all the motivation that I needed. That support is everything. Find free adult education classes near you at finishyourdiploma.org. I was a quarterback at Bartoway High School. College first round draft pick.

Vance today saying about one in four liberal college students say political violence is sometimes justified. Voting YouGov data. So how did this become the norm? Joining us live now is Denny Salas, executive vice president of Gotham Government Relations. Kate Monroe, Republican strategist and CEO of VETCOM.us. Great to have you both with us. Fortunately, we are seeing examples of others speaking out against it. For example, the president of the Connecticut Young Democrats issuing a joint statement with his Republican counterpart calling the shooting unacceptable, saying, quote, violence is never the answer to disagreements. We're seeing other prominent Democrats, Senator Fetterman, former congressman Dean Phillips, among others. But there is certainly a groundswell concerning amount of far left voices that are saying otherwise. Denny, has the death of Charlie Kirk brought into focus two sides within the liberal camp, most condemning the assassination, one would hope, but some in more than, you know, we ever thought seeing it as justified. I think in really emotionally charged situations like that, like this, where Charlie Kirk was unfortunately assassinated, my heart actually truly, truly goes out to his wife and his two young kids have two young children. So it affected me very deeply just from that personal perspective. And when you look at some Democrats that don't look at the humanity of an individual, and instead believe that the political ideology that somebody has is all they have to them, and then starts to bedevil them, that's where we shoot ourselves in the foot, whether no matter what political side you're on. And that's the failure of this whole thing, is that at the end of the day, we fail to look at ourselves as Americans, number one, you know, or number two, humans as number one, number two, and then recognize that whatever we believe, doesn't necessarily define us, that we're more than that. And I think that's where we're failing right now. And yes, you have individuals within certain political camps that just want to inflame the situation and make it worse and feel like it's a battle to the death, but it's truly not. And I think it's sad. I think it's depressing. And I just feel we're better than that. Kate, with this, do you see Democrats having the ability to return to its traditional Democratic views that sort of classical liberal, if you will, instead of where it finds itself today? I desperately hope that they do. This kind of division and rhetoric is absolutely appalling. I actually happen to be married to a liberal Democrat, atheist from Turkey, and we managed to get along in our household because he's a very moderate person. You know, ideologically, we share almost all of the same values. It's only these far, far left. And he's been saying over the last five years, even to me, he's like, man alive, I wish they would turn back because they're going so far that they're losing the traditional part of what made our party actually good. You know, back in the day when everybody was closer to center, you could have reasonable arguments, you know, like Charlie Kirk was trying to have. He was trying to have open discussion. We used to be able to have that. I'm an 80s kid. I watched my parents, you know, sort of debate, if you will, our neighbors, and that was totally fine. Now somebody would try to slash your tires. So I hope that we see some repentance here in this season. Reminds me your relationship with your husband of somebody like James Carville, who you might not, or most might not realize is also married to a Republican. Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee this morning, saying that America as a country needs a revival and that politics is about feeding the base with red meat. Let's take a look at what he said. I was leery in the news relations that was just some, some vile, that's real stuff, even directed towards Charlie Kirk. And it's never going to change, ma'am, until we have a real revival in this country. And that hopefully would happen someday. But right now, it looks like it's going to be more of the same. It's clickbait. It's getting reelected. It's red meat. And that's what politics is about today. Kate, what do you make of Congressman Burchett's point that America needs a revival of spirituality? I absolutely agree wholeheartedly. I've been saying there's sort of two ways that things can go. They can go toward riots or toward revival. And typically what you see on the left is that they're willing to riot. And we look at somebody like George Floyd, for all intents and purposes, was absolutely a poor man, but they were willing to completely burn cities down and riot. Whereas what you're seeing with Charlie Kirk is a beautiful revival that's happening, happening to all these young kids that are on these college campuses. So if that's what his life amounted to, that all these young men and women come to know Christ as he did, I think that that's absolutely amazing. But when I was running for Congress, I noticed very quickly that everything is salacious. Everything that they say is mostly grandstanding and gaslighting. And when you see them at the Capitol Hill Club having lunch together, they all yuck it up and just think it's hilarious. Well, it isn't funny to America. I'd like to see us get a little bit more traditional and back to the center. Denny, many young people who become radicalized are missing a sense of community and purpose, one might say. Is there a way to have more spirituality and faith to guide our nation in a more moral direction? Yes. I mean, the simple answer is yes. The more complicated answer is how do we go about creating the environment for that to actually occur? I know President Obama years ago lamented about what he called the balkanization of the news media. And what he meant by that is how it's been siloed off in order to just reinforce whatever type of ideology or mentality that you had around politics. And to be honest, when you look at the high usage of social media right now, all you're doing is feeding an algorithm based on what you like. So you're not seeing opposing viewpoints or actually being able to accept a respectable opposing viewpoint because all it's doing is ensuring that you just get fed the most hyperbolic, most sensationalized point from whatever you already believe in. And that ends up radicalizing a lot of folks. Honestly, one of the big things I think that would lead to some sort of remedy for what we're experiencing is just put your phone down. Go outside. Yes, be part of a community. Do something, go to church, take part in some sort of service out there to actually help others and not look at whatever's happening on Twitter or TikTok or whatever and think that that's real life when it's not. Step outside, talk to your neighbors, talk to somebody and recognize that that is what's real, that human connection that you can create, not something that's happening, sensationalized on social media or anything else like that. So I hope we can. At the end of the day, I just hope we can do something like this. Kate, I think Denny actually raises a very important point for multiple reasons. I mean, when you look at this time period that we're in now compared to a decade or two before, one factor that's really changed and consumed us is social media, where you can wind up in an echo chamber rather than real human interaction. With that said, Kate, what is the culpability here of the media and the media's responsibility as well as social media? I actually just put out maybe three minutes ago, right before we jumped on, I put out a video on this exact topic and I said that I think that our news media is complicit in Charlie Kirk's death and many other things. This is just one of the things that they are responsible for because there is no accountability. There's just a lot of messing around, never any finding out, they never retract the story, they never apologize, they never correct anything. They just say whatever they want, like clickbait, whether it be on social media or on the news. And half of what we see is not even real. A lot of it is AI generated, created with chat GPT and the like. And I think it's just very scary. I have an eight-year-old son and much of what he sees every single day, whether it be on YouTube or when he's watching things on his iPad, are not real. He's not watching real life. And so the question that you asked to Denny, I think that the solution really is, there's this movement on social media that, you know, I am Charlie Kirk. So you can have a voice like Charlie Kirk. You can speak reason into people's lives. You don't have to be part of the riots. You can be part of the revival and pick up the torch and speak truth and light and power into people's lives. That's what I think needs to happen. Denny, some lawmakers are now calling to remove graphic videos showing Charlie Kirk's assassination. We saw the moment that it happened. It was really just uncensored, right in your face, popping up in everybody's feed, unavoidable. TikTok has taken down many of the clips. Well, Meta, Facebook and YouTube have restricted videos and removed some of the glorifying content, I guess. Should we be moderating this type of material? Is there responsibility on big tech to do this? You know, it's a great question. That's an age-old question since you have been in social media. And it always goes back and forth, no matter even what side you're on politically. And at the end of the day, they are private companies, so it's really dependent on what they choose to do. As a government or anything else, look, we do truly believe in free speech, whether it's good or bad. And at the end of the day, it's a private company's choice in order for them to make a decision whether to restrict it or not. Do I believe that it's bad? Yes. Was that video of his death sent to me? Yes. I watched, I saw it, clicked on it, and then I refused to share it. And that's one of the things where it's like, I wish I didn't see it because I knew what happened right after just reading about it. But, you know, at the end of the day, it's certainly going to be the decision from the private companies themselves. I don't necessarily believe that a government should do, you know, try to do anything to try to restrict. It's going to be, at the end of the day, whatever the company decides to do. Kate, do you think it is more about the algorithm per se? Say, you know, you weren't following anybody that shared it, sort of like Denny described, and then all of a sudden it pops up. Should you have to at least be sort of knowing what you're looking for on these types of things? Or what are your thoughts on removing or scrubbing these types of videos from the internet? I don't know that it comes down to having to remove or get rid of them. I think if there were rules put out, if you do this, then this will happen. If you put out a video like this, then your account will get shut down, less people would put it out. But there is no such a thing. That's the algorithm that we really need to have, you know, and if this, then that. And we just really don't. People say, oh, you can't say, you know, the S word. You can't say suicide. You can't say all these things. But people say it millions and millions of times every single day. But if you got in trouble for doing it and your account were new, people would think twice and they'd start saying, hey, we probably really shouldn't be posting that or sharing that. But until that happens, I don't know that there's going to be any change on that. And, you know, just like Denny said, I was actually on a set shooting something and somebody came up to me and said, hey, Kate, I want to tell you what happened to Charlie Kirk. And I have the video of it. I don't think you should watch it. I unfortunately did watch it. I was in the Marine Corps and I thought, you know what, I think I can handle this. And I absolutely could. I wish I didn't see it. I don't think anybody should have saw it. I don't think that all these little kids and high schoolers and teenagers should be seeing things like this. I just want to say before we say goodbye, Denny Salas, the Democrat tonight on the panel, thank you for coming on. But you always come on and you have an honest debate and discussion with the other side, many of which have very similar, if not identical views to Charlie Kirk. And you're always a class act and you were tonight and we really appreciate it. And we appreciate you both for coming. Coming up, a vigil tonight in memory of Charlie Kirk at the United States Capitol, what Speaker Johnson and other members of Congress are saying. Is deep sea fish oil really healthy?

It's been really, really hard for you. And welcome back to the Capitol Report on NTD Television. I'm Steve Lance, a vigil in memory of Charlie Kirk taking place tonight at Capitol Hill at the Capitol right here in Washington. The event is non-partisan. I have speaker Mike Johnson leading it. NTD correspondent Jason Blair joins us live in studio for an update. Jason, what can you tell us about the event taking place up at the Capitol? Yeah, so the event was just held as a vigil led by speaker Mike Johnson. As you said, it was open to members of any political party. It was a non-partisan event. Several members of Congress spoke, including Johnson. He started off by saying, quote, that Charlie Kirk would not want us to be overcome by despair and would want us to carry the message forward to honor his memory and to expand the legacy they left behind. And as I said, he was joined by several other members of Congress. I have a few clips from that vigil that was just held at the US Capitol. I think the best way to honor the memory of Charlie Kirk is to live as he lived. And I've encouraged young people to do two things, advance his principles and adopt his approach. We can never let whatever people think drives them not to debate but to try to resort to political violence. It can never be accepted as the norm. So after a couple of speakers, Johnson came back in and closed the vigil with a prayer. And that last soundbite there we heard from the leader of the Republican House Republicans, Steve Scalise, who was also victim of gun violence himself, almost being killed at that congressional softball game not too long ago. So Speaker Johnson has been making his way around to a variety of events commemorating Charlie Kirk. Talk to us about some of those. Yeah, Johnson has been involved in a couple, one of those being at the Kennedy Center here in Washington, D.C. just last night. Also, some members of Congress were there joining him as well as White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said a few words. Some of members of President Trump's cabinet, including Tulsa Gabbard was there. And I do have a couple of clips from Kennedy Center last night. Every soldier lives this fact, this truth. I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death for your right to say it. Charlie lived by this principle. Charlie Kirk did so much in his short life that he spurred that on in other people, inspired in other people. And that message and that truth will go more boldly now than it did while he was here. It will go forward with power and strength. And the first two or three people who had stood in line, they talked about how he positively impacted their lives. But Charlie wasn't there for praise. He would call to the crowd and say, hey, who here disagrees with me? Come to the front of the line. He listened carefully to everyone. Even when others in the crowd booed, whoever was speaking, he told them to be quiet, to let this person speak, to show them respect. So the event at the Kennedy Center was a little emotional. A lot of people were there holding up lights and everything. And then Johnson was also involved in an event last week, leading the house floor in a silent prayer as well, just hours actually after Charlie Kirk was shot. And I'm sure he'll also be at Charlie Kirk's memorial service that will be taking place this Sunday. We're going to stay tuned for the time on that. NTD will be having special live coverage of that event. So please stay tuned for that. Jason Blair, thanks so much. And a small business in Idaho is honoring Turning Point USA's founder, Charlie Kirk, and its products are now flying off the shelves. Groove Berries, frozen yogurt in the township, is serving its treat in cups decorated with a sticker of Charlie's photo in the years 1993 to 2025. Cups have been flying off the shelves, according to the owner. And the dessert cups are now appearing in social media posts like these ones online. And over 100,000 people gathered on the streets of London this Saturday for the Unite the Kingdom march. It sought to raise the issues surrounding mass immigration and what it called the erosion of British culture. NTD's international correspondent, Malcolm Hudson, has more. Huge crowds filled the streets of London on Saturday for the Unite the Kingdom rally. The Metropolitan Police said it estimated around 110,000 attendees, while organizers claimed helicopter footage showed three million people. It was spearheaded by Tommy Robinson, who is known in Britain for his long-standing campaigning against Britain's so-called grooming gang scandal, in which gangs of predominantly Pakistani heritage men systematically exploited and gang-raped white working-class girls. You are here because you love your country. You love your children. And we want a better future and a safe future for them. Robinson has been accused of being far-right, though it's a label he rejects. Elon Musk joined the event in a live interview broadcast on stage. He said Britain is facing an increasingly rapid erosion due to massive uncontrolled immigration, saying the British government has failed to protect innocent people and children, and calling for the dissolution of Parliament and a new election. Immigration has become a dominant issue in the UK, with concerns about what it means for the nation. I'm 35 years old. In my lifetime, I've seen a huge change in my country. It's a country that I don't recognize anymore. It's a country that used to be one that was patriotic, proud. It had confidence in itself and the world stage. Even in the Bible, the Bible says, keep the laws of the country that you are in. So if everybody comes here, we should all know this is a Christian foundation, British culture. Keep the culture, live by the values. Police appeared to be taken by surprise by the turnout, describing the rally as too big to fit on the approved route of the march, leading to a confrontation between police and protesters. There were kicks and punches, as well as bottles, flares and other projectiles thrown. Police said 26 officers were injured, while 25 people were arrested. The British government said only a small minority of the demonstrators had conflict with police. The march filled London with Union, St. George's, Welsh and Scottish flags, with calls to restore Britain. You know, people are here together, and it shows that the numbers really do care, and the diversity here is not all far right. You know, it's a real mixture, and when people see that and they understand that it's not far right, they'll start to listen. I think this is exactly what the country needs and exactly what the world needs at the moment. Every country in the world needs to be doing this and celebrating their own country and their own history. Demonstrators also paid tribute to Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last week. I'm so glad all these people are here, because I promise you, the world needs to change, and the death of Charlie Kirk has changed the world forever. It has changed the world forever. We're in the UK, and we're thinking about him. The whole world is, and he's making this whole movement known. Malcolm Hudson, NTD News. That's all we have for you tonight on the Capitol Report.
