So Victor, there's lots of effort out there.
Charlie Kirk's death has had a huge cultural impact, not just in the United States, but world around. And we've got lots of narratives from the West that are trying to explain away his murder. And I was wondering if you could talk about that a little.
Well, there was a lot of factors that made him iconic and his death iconic. Let me just name some of them. It happened roughly a week after a video was released where Ukrainian immigrant Aranya Zaryutska was brutally murdered on a car to the indifference of everybody around by a career 14-time felon who had been let out.
And that was a DEI train wreck, whether it was the mayor's insensitive remarks or or the DEI judge who had not passed the bar. I could go on. So people were kind of seeing that and all the attacks on the ICE. And there was another murder in Auburn University near there. There was one in Queens where innocent people had been brutally killed, allegedly by career criminals that had been let out.
