Officer Tatum DEFENDS Erika Kirk… It Gets WEIRD!?

Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]I'm juggling a bunch of things here. We have my friend, family member of the show, ladies and gentlemen. He's here.

[00:00:08]He's here today. Where is he? Bring him up. Bang. Oh, here he is. Here he is, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:00:16]For all of you guys, I'm going to play this clip and then I'm going to go to his longer video because I think there's some missing here. But I'm going to play this really quick.

[00:00:25]>> This is uh this is my brother. This is Officer Tatum. the the y'all slow down for a minute and perceptualize that that young man got killed, assassinated in cold blood. He was just a 30 something year old man. Had his whole life ahead ahead of him. He was killed. I know with the movies and desensit, you know, people are desensitized to violence. Charlie Kirk is that young man right there that you see on the C. He's never coming back. He did not deserve what happened to him in my opinion. But I felt like as good of a person he was, he did not deserve for a coward to kill him and can't even face a man to man. He did not deserve to have to leave his family behind in the natural sense. Every man that's married know this out of their heart is that my my my my my being, who I am, what I stand for is to protect my wife more than my own life. And to be robbed of that opportunity where he can't protect Erica anymore, is unfair to him. Kids deserve to have a good man as a father, which Charlie was. They're robbed of it.

[00:01:42]The thanks that Charlie Kirk's Kirk get from all of that sacrifice, all of his teenage years or his adult, you know, his teenage years, his adult teenage years, all of his 20s into his 30s, standing up for truth, traveling every day, trying to change the country. What thanks did he get? What thanks does does Charlie Kirk get bashing his wife when he gone?

[00:02:10]But thanks to Charlie Kirk GET SAYING THAT WHAT HE DIED for should be TORN APART. HE DIED for Turning Point USA and it should be torn apart and thrown away. This is what y'all did to This is how y I want I want every single person y'all ain't going to see it, but I want you to share with somebody that's stupid. I want I want y'all to share it with someone that's stupid. This is just another piece of the mountain of evidence. AND Y'ALL Y'ALL Y'ALL Y'ALL Y'ALL Y'ALL y'all so stupid for doing this to Charlie and you're doing this to his wife. Y'all want something to happen to his wife. I can see it. I can see it in the eyes of all of you people out there.

[00:02:54]All of you absolutely dastardly people out there. And I was talking the other day with mama. I said, "Mama," I said, "Look what they doing to Erica." And she SAID, "WHAT'S GOING ON, BABY?

[00:03:06]I SAID THEY DOING Erica so wrong and by extension they are doing Charlie so wrong. I was perusing the social medias.

[00:03:16]Baby, you got to stop perusing the social medias. I know, mama, but I just had to. I just had to. And I saw them doing Erica so wrong.

[00:03:28]I have to make a video about it. I got to make a video about it. Well, baby, don't get too caugh in the video. Don't be cussing now, mama. I don't be cussing, but I just Oh, man. They are just They are just pieces of sugar honey iced tea. Oh, baby, don't be saying that. They just pieces of sugar honey iced tea. I say it again, mama.

[00:03:55]You come on down from that mountain of evidence. Come get something to eat.

[00:04:02]It's such a stupid impression.

[00:04:06]It's so dumb.

[00:04:16]Oh. Oh. If I was white doing this, they put me in jail. They put me in jail. Oh my god.

[00:04:27]Oh gosh.

[00:04:31]I really like him. I think he's great. I think he's fantastic, guys. I really do.

[00:04:42]I want you to look at Charlie's face >> and realize you are hoping for the downfall of his wife. Betrayed him. You are hoping for the the the the uh lifestyle of of of parentlessness in his children. You you are hoping for the lifestyle of parentlessness on his children. You're hoping that the lifestyle they live is the the parentlessness of his children. That's what you are hoping for. That's crazy.

[00:05:25]He's like me. He does one take. He does one take. He doesn't re-record things.

[00:05:30]He doesn't do all that stuff. He does one take and that's it. You can tell.

[00:05:34]Listen listen. I got to give credit. You know the the there's a confidence that comes in having to take one take and that's it. You want Erica to fail. You want his kids to not have a mom. You're trying to get her killed and assassinated. You're asking questions for no effing reason.

[00:05:52]And this is what you do. You're doing that to him.

[00:05:55]>> Ah, do y'all slow down for a minute.

[00:06:04]We all slow down when you come on the screen. We all slow down intentionally because we know we got to slow it down.

[00:06:10]Who's he pointing to? He's pointing to us.

[00:06:13]He's saying us and he he's spitting out that same narrative you're seeing Gary and Graham and all these people spit out, which is that when you make fun of her, when you criticize her, you're trying to get her hurt, it's a it's a BS type of narrative. It's absolutely ridiculous when you try to do that kind of thing. You want to see something happen to her?

[00:06:44]Really? You think so? Huh? You think we want something to happen happen to Erica? That this that's what that's an indication of. Who posted this? Michael Flynn Jr., right?

[00:07:00]That's what he was looking for when when he did this. Are you sure, man? Are you positive someone did this? Are you sure?

[00:07:11]That's what they're looking for. Or are they just joking?

[00:07:15]Or is that is that the possibility?

[00:07:18]I mean, is it just a joke possibly just based on the way she's dressing? Is maybe that what that is?

[00:07:26]But no, the emotional manipulation that has to happen is is that you are trying to get her hurt when you question her.

[00:07:36]And the only way for you to not be trying to get her hurt is for you to stop asking question. Even said it, you asking questions for no effing reason.

[00:07:50]I heard you on the show today. I heard you saying effing. I said effing mama cuz they just doing her so wrong. Mama, DID THEY PAY YOU YET, BABY? OF COURSE THEY DID.

[00:08:04]I got a company that owns another company and then that one owned by a company. They pay that one. Those ones pay me.

[00:08:15]Well, you got to go buy some groceries.

[00:08:19]Oh, mama. You know I'm going to buy those groceries.

[00:08:24]I'm going to He right now. I'll go over to He right now. You want any brisket?

[00:08:31]Yes, baby.

[00:08:34]ridiculous. It's just ridiculous, man.

[00:08:36]It's a ridiculous uh notion that you can't You're asking questions for no reason. No one's ask The only questions people are asking is why did she do this? That's the question people are asking in regards to this, right?

[00:08:49]They're asking, "Hey, hey, why did you do this? Why did you decide that this was the right thing to do?"

[00:08:58]That's it.

[00:09:00]And to suggest that people have this malice of getting her hurt, nobody wants her hurt at all. When people say she should step down, that's not a hurt thing. People are saying step literally, this is what people are are offering when they say this. They are saying step down and go be with your kids and be rich and just be with your kids and get over this whole thing because it's it's it's an absolute tragedy what's happened.

[00:09:33]That that that is put in the line of you're trying to get someone hurt.

[00:09:38]That's what they mean when they mean step down. They're not saying step down and go live in a cardboard box.

[00:09:45]I don't know, man. It's just ridiculous.

[00:09:48]So ridiculous.

[00:09:51]People saying I'm crying. It's not me.

[00:09:53]It's not me. That's all Officer Tatum.

[00:09:56]Okay. I'm I'm I'm kind of paraphrasing when when I when I talk like Officer Tatum, but not really. I mean, I don't even have to paraphrase. You want your your you want her kids to live in a lifestyle of parentlessness?

[00:10:12]No. Now they're living in a lifestyle of carelessness.

[00:10:17]Now that's the lifestyle that they have.

[00:10:20]They lost their dad and their mom's on a jet.

[00:10:24]Their mom's in a studio dressed like Eminem, scolding the American public, trying to position herself into politics, which will further take her away from her kids. That's the lifestyle they have now.

[00:10:43]Just saying.

[00:10:45]Come on, man.

[00:10:47]It's absolutely ridiculous.

[00:10:51]So crazy.

[00:10:53]Oh man. But I I I like Officer Tatum. I think he's great. Friend of the show, man. He always has been. He always has been, you know. I just want to see if I missed anything from his other video.

[00:11:04]Let's see here. Let me see here. Because he had he had a little video. I was I was watching some of it last night.

[00:11:11]Let's see here. Little officer Tatum for you guys are articulating her words properly.

[00:11:18]Articulate is the word.

[00:11:21]You see somebody who's being able to step up and lead an organization from Charlie Kirk who was, you know, a once in a-lifetime person.

[00:11:33]They they they hate it because they look in the mirror and they ain't sugar honey iced tea.

[00:11:45]You thought I made it up. You thought You thought I made that up. I'm telling you, it's not It's not me. It's not me you're laughing at. It's not me. It's him. It's really him.

[00:12:03]They ain't They haven't built nothing.

[00:12:06]>> They're not going to build anything.

[00:12:07]They have no integrity. They have no relationship with God.

[00:12:12]>> They would fall apart into pieces and be and never to be seen again if they were faced with the same adversity as Erica Kurt. And they know it and they see it in the mirror every day and they hate themselves because of it cuz they had a beautiful family. They looked really good to the public and people know they family ain't worth a darn. They know they and their husband and and and the husband and wife arguing every day.

[00:12:41]They hate each other. The husband ain't even telling the wife what secrets he's holding. Homeboy fa to build some without you.

[00:12:54]This guy This guy This guy's the best. This guy's the best.

[00:13:05]All of y'all doing this just because cuz you hate your wife and you hate your husband and he gonna build something without you. You going to be somewhere and you going to be thinking he not doing nothing here. He building something without you. And then by the time you know it, he has the thing built and he living inside it and he you say, "Hey, can I come inside?" And he gonna say no.

[00:13:32]Oh man.

[00:13:35]the smirk. He's He is hilarious. He is hilarious. He reminds me of the comedians I used to watch on BT Comic when I was a kid. We'd watch all these southern comedians and it was the best.

[00:13:48]It was the best. They were the best.

[00:13:53]Home girl building without you and you mad because Charlie Kirk and Erica Kirk was like this. That's all I'm saying. I see it because I'm listening to this young woman talk and I'm inspired by what Erica says. I I see the genuiness in her eyes and her heart. I've talked to her on the phone before after Charlie has died. The consistency of her character and personality is the only reason why I'm standing up as hard as I am. Because at the end of the day, I'm not I don't I don't run Turning Point USA. Charlie ain't my husband.

[00:14:27]Erica ain't my wife. I don't have to give a f about none of these people.

[00:14:34]But what's the right thing to do?

[00:14:37]The right thing is that God has put it on my heart when Charlie got killed to do something for his family. And those of you who helped in the mission, we gave their family $450,000. Almost a half a million dollars.

[00:14:51]Yeah. How much? How much? Gave the family how much? Half a million dollars.

[00:14:57]Huh? H interesting interesting on top of the policies that probably activated as chopp all those uh merch sales interesting interesting people aren't that far off when they talk about her being a millionaire already man absolutely hilarious you know and on top of that he's talking about God done put it on my heart Jesus came down and touched me on my heart AND MY MAMA SAID LORD Jesus in this house. LORD, AND I SAID, "MAMA, I'm anointed.

[00:15:34]I'm anointed. Mama, you worked for Turning Point.

[00:15:41]You worked for you worked for the company. What are you talking about?

[00:15:45]When people when they have you under a tent and you're doing the whole questioning thing, you were working for Turning Point. What are you What are you acting like? You weren't you weren't working for Turning Point at all. You had no connection at all. You had a connection to Turning Point. Clearly, it wasn't just that your heart was touched to do the right thing. It's exactly what Graham Allen claimed.

[00:16:09]Graham Allen was like, "Well, I mean, I'm just a real Christian and that's the reason."

[00:16:15]And then there was an alleged list where he was listed as one of the people getting paid.

[00:16:21]And then on top of that, he was speaking out. have. You don't have to lie about that part. You can say you can say I want to stand up for her and also I I have a relationship with Turning Point.

[00:16:31]But to act like you have no relationship with Turning Point at all, none. And you're just doing this just because.

[00:16:40]Come on, man.

[00:16:42]You're sitting there. We all saw the same speech. We all saw the same speech.

[00:16:47]You're telling me that speech inspired you? Grown man, by the way. kids, by the way. Husband, by the way, and you're telling me that speech inspired you, and you knew Charlie Kirk personally.

[00:17:01]Come on, man. What are we doing? This is ridiculous.

[00:17:05]But But of course, I'm going to play more cuz I cuz you know, it's the right thing to do.

[00:17:15]It's the right thing to do because I treat people the way I want to be treated. If a person said they were my friend and that they stood by me and they all on TV and all on my platform, if I were to die, I would hope that the first thing they think about is my family.

[00:17:32]Not my platform, but my family.

[00:17:38]All right. God, just put Charlie back on the screen.

[00:17:42]>> You know what's funny? Can you hear his video? He has that like buzzing sound.

[00:17:46]That's the same buzzing sound that I would have on my video. Maybe it's like maybe it's like the version of you know the smoke alarm detector that people always talk about the stereotypical smoke alarm detector.

[00:17:57]Maybe maybe black podcasters we just have this buzzing in the background and we just can't hear it cuz I can hear his but he can't hear it. And you guys can hear mine but I can't hear it.

[00:18:11]I don't know. I don't know. I think I fixed it sometimes. Sometimes I don't. I don't know.

[00:18:22]Oh my gosh. Officer Tatum, guys. Officer Tatum. Then Charlie comes up on the screen. Oh yeah. Let me just uh Does he get to the end of it? Let me just see where he gets to the end of it.

[00:18:32]Hey, did y'all did y'all slow down for a minute and perceptualize that that young man got killed?

[00:18:46]perceptualize.

[00:18:51]Pardon me.

[00:18:53]Excuse me, sir.

[00:18:56]This guy, I'm telling you, I saw I just saw somebody send the coffee and the person said, "Did this negro actually just say perceptualize Tatum is setting us back?" And I'm like, "What is this guy talking about?" And then all a sudden, this is crazy. What's going on?

[00:19:17]Y'all need to perceptualize with me right now.

[00:19:22]What's going on right now with Charlie Kirk and Erica? Perceptualize with me here while we sitting in this room.

[00:19:28]Perceptualize with me.

[00:19:31]Oh man, it's incredible. He's a great guy. I don't care what anybody says. You're never going to take that away from me. I I think this guy's great. We're going to watch more of his videos. We're definitely going to watch more Officer Tatum videos.

[00:19:45]>> Assassinated in cold blood. He was just a 30some year old man.

[00:19:53]Had his whole life ahead ahead of him.

[00:19:56]He was like, do you notice like the the the the defense of Erica is just retelling what Charlie has done? Do you notice that? This is kind of what they go to. This is where I talk about, you know, the emotional manipulation, the the manipulation of your your uh of your your systematic belief system is that they're trying to link Charlie. I know it's a word, but it sounds hilarious when he says it. Um, just like peruse is a word, but when he said it, I was like, what's going on with this guy?

[00:20:35]Oh my gosh. Um, peruse. I was perusing.

[00:20:42]I love it. But, um, but he's from the south. People from the south use big words, you know. Forget about the stereotype. They they love they love a nice nine-letter word. They don't play around. You know, you got to spend some time in the South. You'll hear all sorts of things like that, man. They don't play around. They go to school. They go to school. They're smart, you know. I never said he was dumb. I never said he was dumb.

[00:21:05]Just you could be slow and still be smart. So I never said he was dumb. Um I'm going to Where is it? Where is it?

[00:21:15]There it is. I'm going to leave that right there.

[00:21:18]I'm gonna I'm gonna get a shirt that says perceptualize. I'mma have it in two blocks. Perceptualize. I'm I'm gonna get a shirt that says exactly that. But, you know, the whole thing that they're trying to do is link him link her, sorry, directly to Charlie, and everything she does is Charlie. And if you criticize it, you're criticizing Charlie. You want her to fail. You want her to get hurt. And you're doing it because you hate Charlie. That that's the connection that they try to draw.

[00:21:47]And it's just it's creepy and it's just it's just it's it's it's sugar, honey, iced tea. Okay. It's pure bull sugar honey iced tea. It just is. Um, someone's like, "Not a word. Not a word."

[00:22:07]Hey, listen. Have it out in the comments. Okay. Goo Google it. Goo Google the word and see if anything actually pops up. I don't know. I don't know. Perceptualize. Like I understand what he's saying. He's He's saying imagine. That's what he really wants to say. He wants to say the word imagine with me. Okay, that's what he's saying.

[00:22:28]Imagine with me right now. But he went with perceptualize because he's he's not like me. He's not some pleb who uses the word imagine.

[00:22:40]He's not doing that.

[00:22:42]Someone said I should get him on the show. I should. I don't I I I really don't see a reason why he would say no.

[00:22:48]I don't even understand. If he did say no, I'd be surprised. I'd be like, "What do you mean?" Like, "What? We can't We can't do a show together. We should do a weekly show together. We should do the new version of Crossfire. You remember when Tucker Carlson had Crossfire? You guys remember that show Crossfire?

[00:23:04]It's a pretty old show back when Tucker Carlson had the bow tie on. And they would they would just argue about stuff.

[00:23:10]You know, he was Tucker was on one side, the other guy was on the other side, and they would just argue about stuff.

[00:23:15]That's what he and I should do. I think that'd be great. I'd have a real fun time with that. I don't know.

[00:23:22]I don't see why not. I think that would be a great great show.

[00:23:27]Please suggest that to him in his comments, you know. I think we could do that together. Conceptualize.

[00:23:34]There you go. There you go. There you go. Conceptualize. Perceptualize.

[00:23:41]Conceptualize.

[00:23:44]All the All the white people are like actually perceptualize is not an actual word. I think you mean conceptualize. I'm just not to insult anyone, but I'm not sure I've ever heard this word before. I'm just saying.

[00:24:03]Um, not really sure.

[00:24:07]I think you guys are right. I think you guys are right. Anyway, let me just play this one one last little chunk, right?

[00:24:14]just this dishonest little chunk here.

[00:24:16]>> City on a hill, a light to the world.

[00:24:20]So, let me give you a perfect example of how it's done. My husband did it best and left us the blueprint on how to have uncomfortable conversations with those who disagree.

[00:24:32]>> Buckle up, everybody. Here we go.

[00:24:39]>> Drop the mic.

[00:24:41]>> Now I see why they hate her.

[00:24:45]I could just leave it there and he'd be right along with all of us. Right. He heard the speech. He goes, "Now I see why they hate me." I could just leave it right there. That's what we should do.

[00:24:57]That's what we should We should just leave it right there. He's on our side.

[00:25:01]He understands.

[00:25:05]Oh my gosh. But that's his reaction to everything she said. We all saw the same speech. Like I said, he saw it, too. His reaction is just like mic drop. I mean mic drop.

[00:25:17]I mean she lied about Candace. She brought up Duski. You know she was talking about the country and everything. I mean that's a mic drop right there. Mama.

[00:25:29]Mama.

[00:25:31]You seen this mic drop by Erica Kirk?

[00:25:34]Oh no baby. I ain't seen it yet. Oh it was a mic drop. Mama. Oh, the way she said it. And then Charlie and her were side by side and they said the same thing. And then they threw it to Charlie for two hours. Just clips. It was a mic drop. Mama, this is so fantastic.
