      In a video with Ben Shapiro he questioned if the news we were hearing regarding Israel and Gaza could be trusted. Shapiro looked mortified that a fellow conservative would even entertain such a thought. It’s been alluded that was the moment that Kirk sealed his fate.

        He backed off very hard on this in line with a bunch of other conservative talking heads. This is from July:

        “Plenty was said this last weekend at our event about Epstein. Honestly, I’m done talking about Epstein for the time being. I’m going to trust my friends in the administration, I’m going to trust my friends in the government to do what needs to be done, solve it, ball’s in their hands. I’m going to trust my friends Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, my friend Pam Bondi. All these guys. Ball’s in their court. I think that there was plenty of, let’s say, speeches that were directed towards this topic this last weekend. So we don’t need to spend our valuable time on this program relitigating it.”

        Emphasis mine because saying “balls in their hands” is hilarious to me.
