I've you know, 47 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: said it many times. This guy, he's the smartest guy 48 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: in politics. He knows everything. And I was like, Okay, 49 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: this is great because we don't know anything. You know, 50 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: tell me more, tell me more, you know. I was like, well, 51 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: you know, he's twenty years old. I go stop, just 52 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: just you know, if there's one thing we had no 53 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: shortage of, it was guys that didn't know anything. So 54 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: I was like, there's no chance, you know, twenty year 55 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: old is like, we got plenty of that. We got 56 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: plenty of people that don't know what they're doing. That's 57 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: the only thing we don't and have a shortage of. 58 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: And he said, no, no, no, you got to got 59 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: to sit down. And I remember Charlie came up to 60 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: my office. We met the first time in my office 61 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: in Trump Tower back when that was the war room. 62 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: And we sat down and in five minutes and my congratulations, 63 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: like you're on the road with me, and you know, 64 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: six months straight just you know, campaigning everything from you know, 65 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: fundraising to literally carrying bags, like we had no infrastructure, 66 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: we had no team, we had no logistical help. We 67 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: were literally just you know, in the wild. And it 68 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: was amazing. And I remember speaking at you know, the 69 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: first Amfest and it was literally a room I think 70 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: smaller than this. It's like two hundred people. And it 71 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: was like he's like, well, look, we got two hundred 72 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: people in room. I'm like, that's really good because you know, 73 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: we're used to the political room where like this would 74 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: be a very large crowd, and so we're like, we're 75 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: you know, we're overperforming it. So to you know, see 76 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: the crowd build over the last few years has just 77 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: been epic. And then just seeing what I've seen right 78 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: now on social out there, knowing that it didn't just 79 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: wane with him not being here is amazing, and I mean, 80 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: that's that's his legacy and we got to protect it 81 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: at all costs. 82 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, we had people lining up at ten eleven o'clock 83 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 3: last night. 84 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: Well, you know, they were really loud at about four 85 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning, I know, because they woke me up, 86 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: just people chanting USA, which was great. I don't know 87 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: if I needed the car honking at four o'clock in 88 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: the morning, it was, you know, that was it was 89 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: an early wake up call. Yeah, it was a lot 90 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: worse than New York at although maybe under Mandani it'll 91 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: it'll you know, it'll be worse or comparable. But you know, 92 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: to see that people still piling in obviously you know, 93 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: Charlie's not here, my Dad's not making it. This one, 94 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: it's like wow to see you know, thirty thousand people 95 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: in the crowd like that, that's just you know, he 96 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: really started a movement. And you said, yeah, you did it. 97 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 5: You said in five minutes you knew, Okay, you're on 98 00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 5: the team. Do you remember what was in that comra? 99 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,679 Speaker 1: Honestly, I have no idea, you know, I have no idea, 100 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: but you just the way he carried himself. I was like, 101 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: you know, this isn't a twenty year old. You know 102 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: what he was able to accomplish, you know, in his 103 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: thirty one years is you know what would be you know, 104 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: a crowning achievement of someone's life that you know, got 105 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: to see it through old age. He just did so much. 106 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: He just knew. There was a confidence there, there was 107 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: an understanding there. He understood politics, he understood Washington and 108 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: you know, most importantly, and this is what's you know, 109 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: generally lost with all of those people is you know, 110 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: he understood our people and he genuinely cared. And I 111 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: think that was the difference. I mean I've always said 112 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: sort of authenticity is everything in politics. And you know, 113 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: if you're not real, if you're you know, phoning it in. 114 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: If you're fake, man, they smell you quickly and you 115 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: just go nowhere. And so when you are real, it's 116 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: a rarity, but it's why you're able to do what 117 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: he was able to accomplish. 118 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 3: I have a question about Charlie's growth, right, so you 119 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 3: got to see him twenty sixteen, yeah, twenty twenty five. 120 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 3: How did he change? 121 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: You know, honestly, he didn't change that much. It just 122 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: he was afforded more opportunities. You know, people you know, 123 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: started giving him the same shot that perhaps I gave 124 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: him early. You know, it took a little longer for 125 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: them to sort of recognize that talent, I guess. But 126 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: he was just an absolute workhorse. He always got it, 127 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: and I think that's why people, you know, miss They're like, oh, 128 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: he's great on stage with a mic. It's like yeah, 129 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: But then he gets off the stage and he's doing 130 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: a podcast, then he's in there with donors, and I 131 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: mean the guy just worked harder than anyone else, and 132 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: he was so passionate about it that it didn't matter 133 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: him and his energy you know, was you know, perhaps 134 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,799 Speaker 1: perhaps second only to my father, who's you know, also 135 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: sort of a similar animal that. 136 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 3: He sleeps more than your dad does. 137 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: Charlie, Yeah, he was no but Charlie like, yeah, I mean, 138 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: but he cared so much. I mean, he he took 139 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: care of himself at an age where you know, I 140 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: mean I used to you know, you have dinner with 141 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: Charlie or like you're getting you know, grilled chicken and 142 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: salad like the again, like you know, I'm like, yeah, yeah, 143 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: with occasionally hot sauce a little had a little spice. 144 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: But you know, he just knew that he was on 145 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: a mission, uh, and he was going to do whatever 146 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: he could to to make sure he fulfilled that. 147 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. So you know, Charlie doesn't get enough credit for 148 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 3: being funny and how like how much fun he was 149 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 3: behind closed doors. Blake knows this well. Blake was traveling 150 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 3: with Charlie internationally the last couple of trips he took. 151 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 3: You know, what are some things about Charlie that you 152 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 3: saw that you either want people to understand about him 153 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 3: or that you just didn't know the world didn't really 154 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 3: get about him. 155 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: Well, I mean I think that's a that's certainly one 156 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: of them. I mean his humor. You know again, Charlie, 157 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: you know, almost trying to do like the prim and 158 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: proper evangelical thing and so like that is totally not me. 159 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: So I say all the stuff that maybe some are 160 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: thinking but are unwilling to actually articulate. So you know, 161 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: you could put him in an uncomfortable position. But then 162 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: he chime in and it was so you know, for me, 163 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: I do it all the time. For him, when he 164 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: chimed in on those kinds of things, it was like 165 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: WHOA Where'd that come from? So you know, it was 166 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: just honestly, like I said, a generational talent. And so 167 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: you know, as part of this movement, you know, there's 168 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: not one person, you know, that's going to replace Charlie Kirk. 169 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: There's not one person that it would be capable of 170 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: doing that. But if we all sort of band together, 171 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: if we all have that same passion, enthusiasm, energy and try, 172 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: you know, maybe a few thousand of us can fill 173 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: those little percentage points and try to get to that 174 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: one hundred and keep this keep the movement rolling. 175 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 5: Can you tell us a bit about the relationship he 176 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 5: developed with your dad as the president and yeah as 177 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 5: a candidate too. 178 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, my father he's a unique guy. He'll 179 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: listen to everyone, and he sort of weighs those things equally. 180 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I think how he was able to relate 181 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: to you know, regular blue collar Americans, people like, how 182 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: is it possible he was a crash billionaire from New York. 183 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: It's like, well, you know, he grew up on construction sites. 184 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: He knew how to talk to those guys. He that 185 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: was he was a better developer, not because he listened 186 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: to the guy behind a computer screen, you know, on 187 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: Excel and like a gilded office, but because he spent 188 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: time on the job sites with real people. And Charlie 189 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: was like that, so you know, they understood each other. 190 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's not many people in the inner 191 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: sanctum of you know, my father's sort of political circle 192 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: that he sort of gets even when perhaps he's being 193 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: delivered news that he needs to hear but doesn't want 194 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: to hear, you know, politics, there's you know, there's plenty 195 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: of sick offense out there. There's plenty of people who 196 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: tell you, oh, you know, they show up for the 197 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: winds and they hide from the losses or you know, 198 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: the losses are someone else's fault and the wins that 199 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: they had nothing to do with. You know, Charlie was 200 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: one of the true people that could you know, you know, 201 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: call him in the middle of the day and you know, 202 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: break through and be like, hey man, this is actually 203 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: a problem. And I know no one's telling you this, 204 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: but it is. And so you know, for my father 205 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: to let in, you know, even back in the day, 206 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, a twenty five year old into that circle 207 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: and have sort of you know, full confidence in what 208 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: he was saying and really you know, change his views, 209 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: perhaps changed the way he delivered a message. It was 210 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: truly unique to see. I don't think there was anyone 211 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: else that he listened to that way and maybe period, 212 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: but certainly not you know, age adjusted. And so you know, 213 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: he's interesting. I always you know, when I knew Charlie 214 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: was you know, perhaps I'd accomplished what I wanted, you know, 215 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: just to get him there. It was when you know, 216 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: we'd be in a random place and Charlie's calling and 217 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: he's picking up on the first ring or you know, 218 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: eleven o'clock at night, twelve o'clock at night on something 219 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: and you get the call from Charlie. He always took 220 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: that call as opposed to a lot of people. He's like, yeah, 221 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: and now I'm gonna send that one to voicemail. You know, 222 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: he really broke through and he understood how to how 223 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: to you know, talk with and deal with. My father was, 224 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: you know, an interesting guy, and you know it not 225 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: always the easiest person to do that with. So you know, 226 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: he got it. He understood how to do that, and 227 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: so they had a really a really unique relationship. 228 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 3: Christmas, yes, we can say Christmas. It's a time of giving, 229 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 3: and there is nothing better than knowing that what you 230 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 3: give results in saving the life of an innocent baby. 231 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 3: And for every baby we save, there is a mom 232 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 3: who is saved from a lifetime of regret.

We're we're working in several states, but 251 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 5: we're our biggest one is Arizona. And I was asking, 252 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 5: we're just talking to Charlie, are we going to win? 253 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 5: And he says, I can't promise we're going to win 254 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 5: the election. We're going to win Arizona. I promised the 255 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 5: President I would win Arizona for him, and he really 256 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 5: that hard work element. I A friend of mine who'd 257 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 5: worked in the admins said one of Charlie's best traits 258 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 5: is if he says he'll take care of something. 259 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: It really does. Yeah. No, if he said he was 260 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: going to do something, there was no Hey, by the way, 261 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: get did you get it done? Are you working on this? 262 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: You just knew it was you know, handled, And so 263 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: you know, I remember, I mean Arizona. I was out here, 264 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of days before the election with Charlie, 265 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: one of the basically the last like live political events 266 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: you know, I had done with him prior to the election. 267 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: And I mean even then, you know, we almost had 268 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: to cancel event because we got called in you know, 269 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: some lunatic was I guess threatening me. You know you 270 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: remember that one. You're like, hey, we don't think we 271 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: can do this one. It was like we're doing it. 272 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: And I mean we've had that so many times. I mean, 273 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: Charlie understood, you know, there there was a mark out 274 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: there for you know, either one of us. We you know, 275 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: said the things that needed to be said. We were 276 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: willing to articulate things that may not have been popular, 277 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: certainly not to the radical left, even though they really 278 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: resonated with real Americans. And you know that was an event. Yeah, 279 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: you were there. I mean it was like, hey, you 280 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: guys got to cancel this. This guy's on the Lucy's 281 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,599 Speaker 1: threatning your life, and it's like, yeah, no, we're just 282 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: going to go do it. And you know, we had 283 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: no you know, my father wasn't in office, we didn't 284 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: have the Secret Service, we didn't have anything. But we're 285 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: just you know, unwilling to take the loss. And that 286 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: was a consistent theme. I remember even in sixteen, I 287 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: guess we were at Michigan State University and it was 288 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: the same thing. You know, you've seen this a thousand times, right, 289 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: you sell five thousand tickets, the school gives you a 290 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: room that can hold a thousand because they don't want 291 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: you to be able to get it out there. They 292 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: don't want you to be able to speak, and then 293 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: they have to make sure to let in all the 294 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: radicals and you know, just to try to shut it down. 295 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it was an active it was an active 296 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: attempt to war or whatever it is that you know, 297 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: whatever movement was sort of building. And you know, we 298 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: got into a room I think, you know, probably one 299 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: thousand and fifteen hundred people and we're about to go 300 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: on stage and the Michigan State Police literally pulled us 301 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: aside and said, hey, uh, you know, we can't stop 302 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: you from going, but we also can't guarantee your safety. 303 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: It's it's pretty rowdy out there. And we both looked 304 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: at each other and basically said, you know, I think 305 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: we rather get our asses kicked than give them the win, 306 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, and not go out there. And we did. 307 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: And we went out and we spoke and like we 308 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: won over so much of the room that they just 309 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: it was one of the most energetic, you know, over 310 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: the many college events that we had done together, because 311 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: there was that, you know, just sort of lunacy from 312 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: the left and Charlie did such a good job of 313 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: being able to talk to them. And you know, I'm 314 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: a little spark, I run a little hotter, I guess, 315 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: but you know, for him to be able to start 316 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: having that conversation and you know, even the people who 317 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: were reasonable, you know, if you went into that room 318 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: with an open mind, he was able to win you over. 319 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: Everyone was not going in there with an open mind. 320 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: That didn't matter, you know, but we did a good 321 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: job of just swaying that tide that you know, they 322 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: basically drowned out all the hatred, all of this and 323 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: just frankly energized you know, not just the people on 324 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: our side, but the people in the middle who are saying, 325 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: you know, this is actually a really reasonable guy, and 326 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: this actually makes a lot of sense. 327 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 3: There's been a lot of speculation after Charlie's death, and 328 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 3: you see this kind of some infighting, and you know that, 329 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 3: and I think people respect in a whole new way 330 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 3: what Charlie was actually doing and kind of the glue, 331 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 3: you know, I have, I take kind of a middle 332 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 3: approach to it that I think we saw some of 333 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 3: these fissures coming on the horizon. Maybe it accelerated some 334 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 3: of the disagreements. Maybe maybe he was really holding it back. 335 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 3: It's it's tough to understand. What do you make of that? 336 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 5: Are you do? 337 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: You have a new appreciation for it? Did you know 338 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: one hundred percent? I mean, I listen, I'm used to 339 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: the you know, the fissures. I'm used to you know, 340 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: people doing things for clicks. It's like, you know, I 341 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: get it. You know, politics has become a business for 342 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people, so you know, I get that, 343 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: but I probably didn't appreciate, you know, just how you know, 344 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: fragile some of it actually is, and and how much 345 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: he was able to hold that together or you know, 346 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: just you know, put a stop to it. But you know, 347 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: the reality is, you know, Steve Bannon, Ben Shapiro, Tucker, 348 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: Megan Candice, like, they're not the enemy. I think you know, 349 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: we have an enemy that's that's truly out to change, 350 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: you know, the structure of our country. They want to 351 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: manipulate our children. You know, Charlie understood the bigger picture. 352 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: And what's nice about our movement is that we are 353 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: actually willing to hear other opinions. We don't have to 354 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: sort of blindly agree on everything. We can have those conversations. 355 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I love the way some of those 356 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: conversations have unfolded, you know, certainly in the last couple 357 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: of months. But you know that's the difference between us 358 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: and the Democrat Party. Whereas you know, you've seen it 359 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: a thousand times, like if you're not one hundred percent 360 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: with everything, you could be a thought leader of their 361 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: movement for decades and you away on this one issue, 362 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: you know one percent, Yeah, and you're out, your persona 363 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: non grata, You're cast aside, despite you know, decades of 364 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: you know, you know work in that movement. You know, 365 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: we're a little different. I think why we're able to 366 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: get to things that make sense is by actually having 367 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: that conversation in that dialogue. And I thought Charlie did 368 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: that so well. You know, not just within the movement, 369 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: which I think we all probably recognized he was holding 370 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: together or at least stopping you know, perhaps some of 371 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: the insanity from UH spreading, but by literally every day 372 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: opening up one of the largest platforms in the world, 373 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 1: you know, whether it's his podcast, whether it was just 374 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: being out there in public for social to those who 375 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: hated him most, and you know, giving them the opportunity 376 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: to speak, giving them the mic. And when when people 377 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: heard both sides of that argument, they realized, oh wait 378 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: a second. I mean it's why he was so effective 379 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: on college campuses, which you know, when you say, hey, 380 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: we got to do college campus tours in sixteen, I 381 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: was like, are you an your mind, like like this 382 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: is like that's lost. You know, that's that's over. You know, 383 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 1: we'll get him when they're thirty and they start paying taxes. 384 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: But you know, he was able to do that and 385 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: have those conversations. And again, once people heard both sides, 386 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: then they could sort of pick a lane and and 387 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: run with it, and I think you know that that 388 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: was perhaps his biggest threat to the other side. You know, 389 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: not that he was a radical, because Charlie is like 390 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: the least radical guy I know. Not that he was 391 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: like a wild man, because that too was not his thing. 392 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: But his threat was that he was actually so effective 393 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: at winning over and changing hearts and minds. Uh, you 394 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: know that, you know that he became you know, much 395 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: more of a target. 396 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. So you know, one of the things that I 397 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 3: think is really interesting about, you know, in the aftermath 398 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 3: of Charlie's assassination, is that we had Ali's bestucky here 399 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 3: and her initial reaction was I don't want to do 400 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 3: this anymore. She she was like, I'm this isn't worth it. 401 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 3: This isn't worth it. You know, She's a sorry friend 402 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 3: get assassinated. She put back, and now she's doubling down. 403 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 3: She's she's had a complete reversal on that and she's 404 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 3: all in. But you have gone through a lot of 405 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,959 Speaker 3: the same stuff. I mean, you've been interrogated, you've been 406 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 3: brought before committee hearings, You've you know, you've gotten broiled 407 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 3: in the whole Russia hoax. Your dad was almost assassinated. 408 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 3: And now Charlie, you know you've been kind of not 409 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 3: as vocal in the aftermath of the twenty twenty four election. 410 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 3: You've been doing business stuff, you know, And I guess 411 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 3: what do you make of that for people that are 412 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 3: kind of maybe they feel a bit afraid, right, they 413 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 3: feel a bit scared? You know what what is that dynamic? 414 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 3: What's your advice? 415 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: You know, I get it. I guess perhaps I've been 416 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: a little bit more, you know, grown accustomed to sort 417 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: of you know, the threats or the law fair or 418 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: the political persecution side of stuff. Doing fifty hours of 419 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: congressional testimony for treason, it's like, oh, it's a crime punishable, 420 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,959 Speaker 1: but death. That's like my average Tuesday at this point. It's, uh, 421 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: you know, we've seen the threats. I've opened the you 422 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: know sort of you know, exploding white powder envelopes at 423 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: my house on multiple occasions. You know, I guess what 424 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: I tell those people is I get it, I understand, 425 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 1: but think of what the alternative is. You know, that's 426 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: what they want, right, you know, they want us afraid, 427 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: they want us silence, they want us unwilling to speak, 428 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 1: they want to turn us, you know, from you know, 429 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: the unsilent you know majority back to you know, the 430 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: silent majority, and you could see for you know, the 431 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: last few years. You know, if those people with the persecutions, 432 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: and I get it. You know, when you lose your 433 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: bank accounts and you lose your this and you lose 434 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: you know, you're being investigated it, you know it. It 435 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: certainly the natural tendency would be to, you know, to 436 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,719 Speaker 1: run from some of that. But if if you actually 437 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: have these feelings and you want your children to grow 438 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: up in a country that they recognize, you actually don't 439 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: have a choice because as rough as it can be, 440 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: I think the alternative is, you know, of just giving 441 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: up and seeding this to you know, the most radical 442 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: you know factions of our country. You know, I think 443 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: the end result of that is far worse than any 444 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: of this, and we've seen it can go very extreme. 445 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: So you know, I understand, you know, I'm not being 446 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: glib about that, but we don't have a choice, and 447 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: we just have to keep going and you know, and 448 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: do it. 449 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 3: That's great, that's a great word done. And actually, you know, 450 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 3: I've been grateful to your family for a long time. 451 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 3: But in the aftermath of what happened with Charlie, that 452 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 3: gratitude has reached new heights because I see it in 453 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 3: three to mention, Yeah, thank it. 454 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: Please. 455 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 3: You guys have you guys have literally put up with 456 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 3: unimaginable circumstances and threats and lawfare and trying to bankrupt 457 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 3: the Trump Org. And I mean it's just it's what 458 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 3: haven't they thrown at you? Is where we're at. 459 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: And that's a much shorter list. Yes, But you know, again, 460 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: I think for us, you know, we have that same 461 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: sort of you know mentality. You know, if if you 462 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 1: have to choose between fight or flight, we just fight. 463 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: And you know, we were lucky enough to you know, 464 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: when they went after us with the banks, we sort 465 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: of you know, went all in on crypto. We came 466 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 1: up with solutions to the problems that we were facing. 467 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 6: Uh. 468 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: And you know, I think a lot of people realized that, 469 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: you know, if they can do it to Trump, they 470 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: can do it to anyone. But if they will do 471 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: it to Trump, and they will do it so flagrantly 472 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: and so obviously, who won't they do it to? And 473 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: I think you know that I think that brought a 474 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: lot of people out of the woodwork because I get it. 475 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: It's if you don't have that platform, if you don't 476 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: have that balance sheet to be able to fight back financially, 477 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: if you don't have any of those things, I could 478 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: see that being much more daunting, uh to the average person. 479 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: But again, I think they realized that, you know, if 480 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: you don't fight now, there's no coming back, like there's 481 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: no there's no coming back from a communist takeover. And 482 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 1: that's just you know, just degrees of bad at that point. 483 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: And so you know, I think, you know, you almost 484 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: needed to see that because you know, when I when 485 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: I started this, and you know, I was a business 486 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: guy from New York City and we it was great, 487 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: and I used to get invited to the cool person 488 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: parties and you're like, well, you know, America this you know, 489 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: I realized pretty quickly that you know, initially I was 490 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: sort of fighting for the America I believed in and 491 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: you know, always thought existed, and you know, this is 492 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: just a little bit of something. And I realized fairly quickly. 493 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: And I know Charlie and I had this conversation a lot. 494 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: It's like we weren't actually fighting to preserve in America 495 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: that existed. We were fighting to create in America that 496 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: should have existed the idea of our founding father.

I come from Chicago, Illinois, twenty minutes 539 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 8: from where Charlie was born and raised from Lake Zurich. 540 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 8: As a brother in Christ, I never hurt so much 541 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 8: when I heard the news.

People say that it's lost, 546 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 8: but I want to fight the good fight and the 547 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 8: battle there because it's my home as well a little 548 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 8: bit for Charlie as well. What could I do there locally? 549 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 6: Just words of encouragement. 550 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 8: Truly, I know I'm going to lie in my hope 551 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 8: with God, who is the ruler. 552 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: But simply so, I think, you know, honestly, you know 553 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: anything to stay engaged, right, I mean, I think we've 554 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 1: always we've made this sort of mistake, and you know, 555 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: we're coming up onto midterm cycles like well, Trump's not 556 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: on the ballots, so I'm going to stay home and 557 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter, Like no, it matters. Everything matters, 558 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: you know, It's not what about winning a presidential seat 559 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: or a Senate see or even congressional stuff. I mean, 560 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: we we got to win everything down to dogcatcher. We've 561 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: seen what they've tried doing. You know, what's happened to 562 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 1: our education system when the you know, radical left control 563 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: school boards. You know, get involved in those things, these 564 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,479 Speaker 1: local elections with a little bit of effort, you know, 565 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: you know matter and we never did that, you know, 566 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: we were building businesses or something like that. Is our 567 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 1: mindset was, you know, we want government out of our lives, 568 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: so we're not going to focus on it. But we've 569 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 1: seen how each one of those things has been taken over, 570 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: subverted and weaponized against us that we just have to 571 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: get involved really across the entire board. The biggest thing 572 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: is we just can't see any single aspect of these things. 573 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: And you know, while you know Illinois, I came from 574 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: the People's Republic of New York, you know, there are 575 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: still these pockets that we can't just give up. You know, 576 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: if you do that, we can we can move mountains 577 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: if you get involved, you do so effectively. I think 578 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: so much can actually change. And I think you know 579 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: that that local politics aspect has been something that's forgotten 580 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,199 Speaker 1: for so long, but frankly could be more important, you 581 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: know than even you know, the bigger picture of things. 582 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: They get all perhaps the you know, the glitz and 583 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: the glam and the rallies, but just have to stay involved. 584 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: You have to get to your friends. You have to 585 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: be you know, as we were sort of talking about earlier, 586 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: you have to essentially become unafraid when you start talking, 587 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,479 Speaker 1: when you open up those doors to people. It's even honestly, 588 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: even when I was in New York. I mean, the 589 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: amount of people that would come by like, hey, great job. 590 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: You know, the sort of thumbs up under the coat. 591 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: They don't want anyone else to see it. But you 592 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: start having these conversations with people and they're like, oh wait, 593 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: I can I can actually do that. When they see you, 594 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 1: you know, actually be able to fight through some of 595 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 1: that stuff and come out on top, it changes the mindset. 596 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: I mean, I talk about my father's being perhaps the 597 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: most resilient man in the history of American politics. I mean, 598 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: when he got into this thing, he had no chance 599 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: of winning a primary. He wasn't going to make it 600 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: two weeks. It was a marketing stunt. Then he got 601 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: into a general and he had zero percent of winning 602 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: basically onto election day. So then he wins, and then 603 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: they're going to impeach. I mean, they got him this time. 604 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: And you know, the walls, walls, walls are closing in 605 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: and every you know, I was like, I don't know 606 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,479 Speaker 1: that doesn't you know the walls were closing in three 607 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: days ago. When they release pictures, you know, ninety five 608 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: thousand pictures for Jeffrey Epstein, He's in like four of them, 609 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 1: and they were all like public pictures at like events 610 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: with adults, but they black out the face to make 611 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 1: it seem like it's there. And then you know, now 612 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, there's Clinton. Four thousand pictures of 613 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 1: Clinton and behind the scenes with miners, and it's like, 614 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: you know, but people will never even hear those things. 615 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 1: You know, they'll they'll never know about those things. It's, 616 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: you know, what you guys are doing on this show, 617 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: what perhaps I do on my podcast on Rumble. It's 618 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: just like getting the information out that no one else 619 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: is going to put out there. Once you start having 620 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: these conversations and people realize that that stuff is going on, man, 621 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: just opening that door for them to walk through a 622 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: little bit. You know, it's not easy to always be 623 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,479 Speaker 1: the leader, but when you do, so many people will follow, 624 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: and when they start having that dialogue and they can 625 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: do so respectfully like Charlie did so well, you know 626 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: you you can really you can really change the game. 627 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: And so the biggest thing is just involved. Get everyone involved. 628 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: You know, no task is too small. 629 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 3: All right, next question. 630 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 6: My name's Kathleen. I'm from Alaska and just really appreciate 631 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 6: you and your family. Don't want you to give up. 632 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 6: Stay in the game with us, please, we need you. 633 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: We don't know how to give up. 634 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 6: Okay, But I just want to say an answer in 635 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 6: answer to his question. So many other people you don't 636 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 6: have to get involved. We need people involved in the 637 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 6: electoral process. But I asked someone on the left, a 638 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 6: long time Alaskan who was the Fishazar for Alaska for 639 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 6: off all our waters internationally, and I said, if you 640 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 6: were king for a day of Alaska, what would you do? 641 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 6: Because he served under Governor Wally Hickel, and he said, 642 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 6: if I were king for a day, I would stack 643 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 6: boards and commissions. Every city, every state has boards and 644 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 6: commissions for every subject under the sun. And you don't 645 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 6: have to get elected for that. You just have to 646 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 6: put your name in the hat and you can get appointed. 647 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 6: And if you stack boards and commissions, which is the 648 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 6: ground level of entry to everything else, and it covers 649 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 6: the subjects. You can be a voice that gains more voice. 650 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: We did. 651 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 6: I was on a board and commission for federal overreach 652 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 6: in Alaska and it was amazing what we were able 653 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 6: to accomplish. So I just encourage people. 654 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: That's an entry level way to get in one hundred percent. 655 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 9: Right, Thank you, yeah, thank you mister Trump for doing 656 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 9: all you do. I heard something here at Turning Point, 657 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,239 Speaker 9: USA that was very disturbing about the pastor's son in 658 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 9: South Korea. He's been in prison for over one hundred 659 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 9: and five days for being a Christian and preaching the gospel. 660 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 9: He rose up at Mega church from a mud hut. 661 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 9: And I think it would be awesome if you could 662 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 9: maybe put some pressure or talk to your father about 663 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 9: putting some pressure on South through where to get him 664 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 9: out of prison. 665 00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: I actually just heard about this, Betina. I bet he 666 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: just sent it to me yesterday. 667 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 6: Uh. 668 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: So you know I write about that, but I've actually 669 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: I've been over to South Korea a bunch. I've spoken 670 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: at I think one of the largest evangelical church in 671 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: the world. Uh. And you know, obviously there's you know, 672 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: it's not easy to be evangelical and in South Korea 673 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: even but I know there's a lot of that stuff 674 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: going on. I just heard about the story, you know, 675 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: yesterday for the first time, so you know, pastors probably. 676 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 3: It was two weeks before, a week before Charlie was 677 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 3: assassinate was a week before, not even not even. 678 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: Four days, and then I think I may have actually 679 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: met when I was in Korea. It was sort of 680 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: a rapid fire and Sun here. 681 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 3: And yeah, we're we're gon, We've we're going to get 682 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 3: uh those notes to the administration for sure, Yeah we are. 683 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 3: And don you can help? Yeah, yeah, it's a it's 684 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 3: a it's a grave injustice. What happened to him? He basically, 685 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 3: you know, said something political and in South Korea you're 686 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 3: not allowed to do that if you're a Christian. 687 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: Mister Trump, how are you today, sir? Doing well? Wonderfully? 688 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 10: Like you, I'm also from the People's Republic of New. 689 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: York as well. 690 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 10: But putting that to the side, Charlie Kirk absolutely was 691 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 10: and still is to this day, my hero. And I 692 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 10: was just wondering, what advice would you give to a 693 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 10: person like me to help uphold the wonderful legacy that 694 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 10: he left behind in terms of his pursuit of civil 695 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 10: discourse and trying to bridge divides and reach out to 696 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 10: people on the other side of the aisle. 697 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: Just get out there and have the discourse. You know, 698 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: when when he wasn't used to doing that, when we 699 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: started in sixteen, he just started doing it. You know, 700 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't a thing. It wasn't popular. There wasn't the 701 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: you know, prove me wrong type tours that you know, 702 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: that didn't exist. We sort of just you know, created 703 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: it on the fly by having those things. And so again, 704 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: just that willingness to get out there, the willingness to 705 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: have those conversations. You can do that respectfully. You don't 706 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: have to do it, you know, from an attack perspective. 707 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: And I think when people see that and they start, 708 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, you back things up with actual facts, you know, 709 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: you'd be surprised. I was frankly surprised. You know, how 710 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: many people you can win over who you know, may 711 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: not agree on much on a lot of these things, but. 712 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 3: You've seen it, you're One of my favorite montages that 713 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 3: our team put together was from some of these tours. 714 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 3: I think Emma actually put it together where it was 715 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 3: like all these people kind of would say, you know, 716 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 3: Charlie would give a hat. Do you want you know, 717 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 3: do you want a hat? Because you came and you disagreed, 718 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 3: and if I convinced you and you can have a 719 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 3: hat if you want, and they'd be like, give me 720 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 3: the hat, give me the hat. And there's this montage 721 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 3: of all these kids getting convinced, and you know, you 722 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 3: put that on social media and it was you know, 723 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 3: multiply that by probably millions. 724 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: Thank you, mister Trump. 725 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 3: Thank you, all right, last question. 726 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,479 Speaker 4: Thank you, mister Trump. So my name's Matthew. I was 727 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 4: born in the Bay Area in nineteen ninety six, and 728 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 4: so I grew up all these leftists institutions taken over 729 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 4: our schools, and I grew up as a young man 730 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 4: where I was made to feel evil because of my 731 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 4: identity basically as I you know, even though I hadn't 732 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,959 Speaker 4: done anything. So my question for you is, you know, 733 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 4: there are a lot of young men who are angry 734 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 4: and frustrated and resentful because of the direction that the 735 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 4: messaging has taken and the economy, and you know, things 736 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 4: are just very hard, and so do you have a 737 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 4: message for these young men who are angry and struggling, well. 738 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: I think you should be. I mean I spoke about 739 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: it a lot on social media this week. You saw 740 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: sort of, you know, for the last twenty years, the 741 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: implementation of DEI. I mean, if you were a young 742 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: white male especially, it's like it didn't matter if you 743 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: were qualified to go to an Ivy League school, you 744 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: weren't getting in. You weren't getting the promotion. You know, 745 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: there's literally a you know, a generation or two of 746 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,399 Speaker 1: men that are going to have a hard time ever 747 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: achieving that full potential because they were essentially shut out 748 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: of the workforce, they were shut out of academia. But 749 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: I think those people still had that potential. It was 750 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: you know, pulled away from them in many respects, but 751 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 1: I think, you know, like everything else, you just have 752 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,839 Speaker 1: to keep going. There's no way to undo that, unfortunately. 753 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: But I think with that potential that they had, I 754 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: think there's other ways that you can do things. There's 755 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: you know, in the world in which we live right now. 756 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: That's it's there's such a dynamic change with AI and 757 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: everything going on right now. I think there's opportunities to 758 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: take those talents and be able to, you know, gain 759 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: back those those losses that were so unfairly taken from you. 760 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 1: But I get it. It's we're trying to end that 761 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 1: right now. My father signed some eos this week, you know, 762 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: to stop that sort of essentially reverse racism. You know 763 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: that was going on against everyone, and you were you 764 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: weren't going to get those jobs, you weren't going to 765 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: get into those schools, you weren't going to get you know, 766 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: the promotion. But you were privileged. And if you were 767 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 1: pissed about it, then you're a racist or something. I don't. 768 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't have to make sense. Uh, you know, 769 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: when they controlled, when they controlled the media, and they 770 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: controlled the narrative, when they controlled all of social and tech, 771 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: you know, it didn't matter that you're you're just bitter, 772 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 1: and you should be. But that doesn't mean you should 773 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: give up either. I think there's a lot of potentially 774 00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: you just have to get back out there and do it. 775 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 3: And I'm convent Way and Charlie and the Trump family, 776 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,839 Speaker 3: you guys are great examples because you know a lot 777 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 3: of people think Charlie was like created in a Petrie 778 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,799 Speaker 3: dish by like billionaire donors or something. Like this, you know, 779 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 3: the r n C and like nothing could be further 780 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 3: from the truth. He yeah, you get me. 781 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 1: Soon, too soon. I'm sorry, I've heard. Yeah, that was 782 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: a great interview until then. 783 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, so thanks for. 784 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 9: To get back. 785 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 3: So we you know, but you know, Charlie basically had 786 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 3: the door slammed in his face more times than it 787 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,359 Speaker 3: was opened for a long long time, and he just 788 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 3: was an entrepreneur about it. He was so disruptive and 789 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 3: he worked so hard that eventually he just he just 790 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 3: forced the door to break down in front of him. 791 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 3: And you know, you guys, you think about your president, 792 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,800 Speaker 3: your father's presidential run. I mean, yeah, he had to. 793 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 3: It was a hostile takeover. You had to force the 794 00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 3: way into the the apparatus of the GOP and so 795 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 3: whatever that those barriers are. I mean, I just believe 796 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 3: Charlie is the living embodiment of He was just so 797 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,799 Speaker 3: dogged and so determined that it wasn't gonna he wasn't 798 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,799 Speaker 3: gonna be told no. And I think that's the the 799 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 3: perspective we have to have in this country. Yeah, well, 800 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 3: we gotta get you back, stay, I gotta give a speech. 801 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 3: You're gonna go address about thirty one thousand people, so don't. 802 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: Screw I'll try not to blow it. 803 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:30,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, and millions watching online.
