1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: He's editor in chief of breit Bart News and a

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: New York Times best selling author, and on this podcast

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: he brings deep research, prescient analysis at world class guests.

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: He's Alex Marlowe, and this is the Alex Marlowe Show,

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: all right.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 2: One of the most special people I think in America

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: is Andrew Colviott.

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 3: He Charlie Kirk's.

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: Right hand man, and he not only was one of

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: the heroes behind Turning Point while Charlie was alive, he

11
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: has made a herculean effort, along with a handful of

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,319
Speaker 2: other people I think deserve a.

13
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 3: Big shout out.

14
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 2: Erka Kirk comes to mind among them, to make sure

15
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: that Charlie's legacy I think is going to be very

16
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: well preserved. So long as Turning Point The Charlie Kirk

17
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: Show continues. Andrew has stepped behind the microphone from the

18
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: production booth and has taking the helm as the host

19
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: of the Charlie Kirk Podcast, which is still going strong.

20
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: I've been listened to a bunch of episodes recently and

21
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: it sounds terrific, and I know the audience is just

22
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: massive for that, and I think they feel very well served.

23
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: I he's co hosting with Blake Neff, who is also

24
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: great as well and helping turning point, I think hit

25
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: historic levels of influence in since Charlie passed, and we've

26
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: become friends over the years, and I'm happy to introduce

27
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: you all to him, though he's probably familiar to most

28
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: of you at this point as well.

29
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: Andrew's great to have you on the show.

30
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 4: Thanks, Alex.

31
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 5: It's for the kind words, and also, you know you

32
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 5: alluded to it. We've been friends for a number of

33
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 5: years and I couldn't be more proud of you as

34
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 5: well and your success. I mean, you've had years of

35
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 5: success at Breitbart and now with your show. So honored

36
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 5: to be here, and you know, the mutual appreciation society

37
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 5: here is well intact.

38
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's good to see.

39
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: So both of us had similar roles for different people

40
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: in that I was Andrew Britbart's right hand and then

41
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: I stepped out a little bit after he died. Though

42
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: when he died, the sort of media behemoth wasn't quite

43
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: the same as it is after Charlie died. And then

44
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: something similar happened when Steve Bannon, who's still with us

45
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: and does amazing stuff, but when he left Bright Bart

46
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: that I've I did gradually phase from behind the scenes

47
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: to in front of the scenes, which wasn't something I

48
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: necessarily loved. And that's sort of my first question for

49
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: you is you were behind the scenes force, and you've

50
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 2: done a really capable job of stepping up, starting to

51
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: do media, starting to host the show.

52
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: How are you liking it?

53
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I guess I'd like it fine. I

54
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 5: try to remind myself that, you know, when Charlie and

55
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 5: I were starting the Charlie Kirk Show, it was just

56
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 5: him and I in a with a zoom recorder and

57
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 5: a and a you know, fifty dollars microphone, honestly in

58
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 5: our first podcast that we ever produced. And we saw

59
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 5: the show grow tremendously and the technology and the set,

60
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 5: and but I remember those first conversations, and you know,

61
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 5: I remember asking Charlie what he what did he want

62
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 5: to do?

63
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, with his life?

64
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 5: And he said, you know, and I kind of put,

65
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 5: you know, do you want to be president?

66
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 4: You want to be Rush Limbaugh?

67
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 5: And I was just I threw those out just as

68
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 5: to sort of gos right not to at that time,

69
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 5: especially not trying to compare him to anything. And he said,

70
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 5: you know, I think, I think I would rather do

71
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 5: the Rush Limba thing. And I remember saying, it's amazing.

72
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 5: I'm a rush baby. I grew up listening to Rush Limb.

73
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,839
Speaker 5: I want to do that, and I remember telling him

74
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 5: that would be my dream job if I could just produce.

75
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 4: You every day.

76
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 5: And we got to influence the way the country went

77
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 5: and the way the country thought about policies and politics

78
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 5: and culture. And so obviously, you know, this has been

79
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 5: thrust upon me in a way that nobody should ever experience.

80
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 5: And since it's bitter, but the sweet part is is

81
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 5: that I get to do this, and I get to

82
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 5: remember Charlie, and I get to remember the way that

83
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 5: he would think about topics and the way we would

84
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 5: wrestle through controversial stories and you know, current events, and

85
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: so it's an honor and I try and remember that.

86
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 4: And I would say, you know, after the.

87
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 5: Calendar turned from twenty twenty five to twenty twenty six,

88
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 5: I've felt a lightness and an appreciation for getting to

89
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 5: be behind a microphone and getting to speak to the

90
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 5: audience and really just carry on Charlie's legacy. You know,

91
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 5: when everything happened, you know, Erica looked at me, and

92
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 5: she said, you know, they tried to silence my husband's voice,

93
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 5: and we can't let that happen. You have to keep

94
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 5: the show going, and you know we need you to

95
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 5: be a spokesman for the ORG. And I took those

96
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 5: as sacred honors and sacred duties. And you know, I've

97
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 5: probably made a thousand mistakes along the way, but I

98
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 5: feel like my job is to do the best I can.

99
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 5: Throw my hands open and just say, yes, Lord, here

100
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 5: I am. Send me if that's what you want. If

101
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 5: you don't want me to do that, make that clear,

102
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 5: and I'll happily step out of the way. But I yeah,

103
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 5: I would say twenty twenty six. It's it's actually I've

104
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 5: found the joy in it, for sure, and I've really

105
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 5: enjoyed doing it with Blake and and just to see

106
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 5: the reaction from the audience and to see you know,

107
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 5: folks at Amfest, for example, so grateful and so appreciative

108
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 5: that we've continued doing the show. And that's been all

109
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 5: really really good, and so I'm grateful.

110
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 4: I'm thankful. Obviously.

111
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 5: You know, I never saw this in my future, and

112
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 5: I would have chosen the alternative a billion times over

113
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 5: if we could have Charlie back, but this is the

114
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 5: life that we have, and this is the reality that

115
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 5: we have. So I'm trying to just embrace it for

116
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 5: what it is and do a faithful job at it.

117
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting.

118
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 2: I got asked in an interview today, what was it

119
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: like hearing the news I was going to get to

120
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 2: go on radio.

121
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 3: I said, well, it wasn't that.

122
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: Great, to be honest with you, because the slot opens

123
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: up because my good friend and a leader of our

124
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: movement was murdered in broad daylight.

125
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 3: In public.

126
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: Like it's such an odd thing, but Charlie would have

127
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: wanted all of us to step up, and that does

128
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: remind me I want to plug all the tours you

129
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 2: have going. You guys have so much going, which is amazing.

130
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: But one of the amazing tours you guys are doing

131
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: now with Turning Point USA, where you're also the spokesman,

132
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: is to pick up the Mic tour. I just love

133
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: that name for it. I tell us of that tour

134
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 2: while it's top of mind for me.

135
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I love the name for it as well,

136
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 5: and I think that was a Eric original there. And obviously,

137
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 5: you know Charlie, that iconic you know, sort of look

138
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 5: that image if you have Charlie debating students and a

139
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 5: lot of faculty. By the way, there was a lot

140
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 5: of professor the folks that would come and try and

141
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 5: one up him. But he would have that mic to

142
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 5: you know, to to speak and to debate, and he

143
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 5: would set it down when he was listening, and then

144
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 5: he set it down one final time and you know,

145
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 5: now it's on us to pick it up. And so

146
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 5: one of the things that's been really encouraging for me

147
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 5: is just how many people have come to us and

148
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 5: saying I want to get back on a tour. I

149
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 5: want to I want to go with turning point to

150
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 5: these college campuses. I want to do it for Charlie,

151
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 5: keep his legacy alive. So we're you know, that's what

152
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 5: we're going to do. And so pick Up the Mic

153
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 5: tour is going to be a celebration of Charlie and

154
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 5: it's going to be a celebration of debate because we

155
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 5: believe that the truth can stand up to the highest

156
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 5: lifelevels of scrutiny, and so we're not afraid of that.

157
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 5: We actually want to embrace that. And so we're going

158
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 5: to be bringing debates to college campuses. Some of them

159
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 5: will be single speaker events like Charlie would do and

160
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 5: he would take questions from the audience. Some of them

161
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 5: be like that, but some will actually be debates at

162
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 5: the campus itself, and some will be proved me wrong.

163
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 5: So we're excited about that. We're going to be announcing

164
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 5: tour stops soon. But we've got a lot in the works.

165
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 5: There a lot of big names that are going to

166
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 5: be participating in that, and that's kind of the way

167
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 5: we have to do things.

168
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 4: You know, we don't have Charlie here.

169
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 5: Anymore to be such a singular star that would anchor that,

170
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 5: so a lot of friends are going to be coming

171
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 5: in and participating with us.

172
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great and it's good because we can step up.

173
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: And I know this firsthand because when Andrew died, there's

174
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: I know a lot of outsiders thought that Breitbart wouldn't survive,

175
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: and it was We didn't miss a day.

176
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: We just kept kept rolling through it.

177
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: It wasn't a second thought for anyone I think who

178
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: actually worked there at the time. And Andrew would have

179
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: wanted us to put up website every day, and we

180
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: did that to change the world, and there'd be no

181
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: Trump without bripe news, and that's something that we'll always

182
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: have and it can be done. And you guys are

183
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: off to a great start. But I want to go

184
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: back and just hear about what it was like a

185
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: little bit. And I want to probe too specifically, but

186
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: just when Charlie was shot, there's an organization. I'm sure

187
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: you learned a lot about leadership at the time. What

188
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: could you convey to an audience about what it's like

189
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: to lose a singular leader of an organization and then

190
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: to have to work as hard as you ever have

191
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 2: immediately in order to try to preserve things. It just

192
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: must have been a completely otherworldly experience. Is there anything

193
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: you can share any insight from that time with the audience?

194
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting.

195
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 5: I just had a friend reach out and ask like, Hey,

196
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 5: can we get coffee. I've been trying to leave you alone.

197
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: I know you've been drinking fire hose and want to

198
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 5: hear about everything. And I said, yes, we will do coffee,

199
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 5: and I will try to explain what these last months

200
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 5: of my life have been like.

201
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 4: And I will.

202
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 5: Fail, ye, because there's there's just something some things in

203
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 5: life I just don't think you can properly describe or define,

204
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 5: at least not in any quick fashion. It's a it

205
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 5: was truly horrendous. It was truly earth shattering. You know,

206
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 5: there's really not a whole lot of adjectives you could

207
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 5: use that would describe what it was like, you know,

208
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 5: because I lost one of my best friends, I lost

209
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 5: a business partner, I lost a leader in America, lost

210
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,119
Speaker 5: an icon and a leader of the of the conservative

211
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 5: movement in the country, and of a whole generation all

212
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 5: in one fell swoop. And so you're asking questions like,

213
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 5: how did this happen? You know, and you're thinking through

214
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 5: your last memories with him, and you're also thinking about

215
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 5: what would he want you to do? And I think

216
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 5: he said is really apt. You know, I remember being

217
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 5: at you know, surrounded by a bunch of Charlie's friends

218
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 5: and myself, you know, in the night, the night after

219
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 5: it happened, going like, you know, Charlie would be upset

220
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 5: at us that we weren't streaming. That was literally the

221
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 5: joke that we were kind of you know, this macob

222
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 5: sort of how do you process this moment? But you

223
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 5: know that was Charlie. Charlie would have expected us, He

224
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 5: would have demanded us to do everything in our power

225
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 5: to seize all of that momentum and all of that

226
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 5: energy that came out of his assassination for the next generation,

227
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 5: and to seize all of the momentum on campus and

228
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 5: all the chapters that wanted to start. And so we

229
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 5: just poured ourselves into that. In some ways, it was cathartic.

230
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 5: It gave us an outlet for this tremendous amount of

231
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 5: grief that we were feeling. And you know, we just

232
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 5: sort of put our shoulder to the plow and said

233
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 5: to ourselves, like, eventually we'll get a chance, hopefully to

234
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 5: take stock and to grieve properly, but right now, if

235
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 5: we don't do this, nobody else can or will.

236
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 4: And so we just wed We did our best, you know.

237
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 5: And I think the field team, especially continuing on with

238
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 5: the tour, right and I mean, there was bomb threats,

239
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 5: there was all kinds of chaos with Antifa and Berkeley,

240
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 5: and they persevered through it, all their heroes. Honestly, it

241
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 5: was amazing to watch them just just dedicate their lives

242
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 5: to that tour and the most unthinkable of circumstances and

243
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 5: the memorial, obviously, that was something that I will never

244
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 5: forget it was.

245
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: That was the most incredible event I've ever been to

246
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 2: in my four decades on this planet. And there's not

247
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 2: I can't think of a close second. I did see

248
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: Kiss on Halloween want once. That was kind of wild

249
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium, but no, but honestly it was. It was

250
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 2: ridiculously cool. And the fact that I was pulled off

251
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: in a week. What I said at the time was

252
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: this would be like a woodstock thing where there'll be

253
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: people in thirty years who claimed they were there and

254
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: were not there.

255
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 3: And they're going to claim they were.

256
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 4: Yeah. I yeah, I totally agree. I think. You know,

257
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 4: it's interesting. A lot of people are like, how did

258
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 4: they pull this off? And I must have been playing it.

259
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 5: There's some wild conspiracy theories that I saw online, and

260
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 5: it was like, if you knew what the headspace was

261
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 5: like of the team in those in the immediate aftermath,

262
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 5: it was like anything that anybody could do to pull

263
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 5: something off, they were going to do it.

264
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 4: There was no questions asked.

265
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 5: It wasn't how much am I getting paid, It wasn't yeah,

266
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 5: I'm not going willing to work overtime. It was like

267
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 5: everybody it was twenty four to seven, all out to

268
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 5: make that happen, from the production vendors and the you know,

269
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 5: anybody we needed a contract, to any of the singers,

270
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 5: to the speakers, the President of the United States, everybody

271
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 5: was set just was like, what can we do? We're

272
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 5: going to do it and and that's the only way

273
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 5: you pull something like that off that quickly. And it

274
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 5: was I think a truly beautiful, important event and it

275
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 5: was so honoring to Charlie. You know that we didn't

276
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 5: have riots that we you know, it was a crazy

277
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 5: stat from that is that there was not a single altercation,

278
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 5: There wasn't a single arrest. You had almost three hundred

279
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 5: thousand people in and around State Farm Stadium in Phoenix, Arizona,

280
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 5: and Glendale.

281
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 4: And there wasn't a problem.

282
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 5: People were kind to each other, they were sweet, they

283
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 5: were helpful, they didn't push each other.

284
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 4: Get into fights. There wasn't you know, class of.

285
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 2: That class affair. Yeah, and the legits stuff it. I mean,

286
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: you guys put on the biggest events in the conservative movement.

287
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: But still and even the government had to step up

288
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: because the whole line of succession from the president on

289
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: down was there, which was unbelievable, and it was. They

290
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: had the overflow crowd in the baseball stadium a joining

291
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: the football stadium, and the music was not just beyond belief,

292
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: it was constant.

293
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: It was there.

294
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 2: They had the music going eight nine am and they

295
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 2: went all day. And it's there's so many people clearly

296
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 2: stepped up and it's a huge credit and it's a

297
00:13:58,559 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 2: great memory.

298
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 3: But it's it's representative.

299
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 2: It's got to be representative of what happens next. So

300
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 2: this is what I want to get Andrew, because you're

301
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: one of the you are literally the turning point spokesman.

302
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 2: So you're the only you're the most qualified person other

303
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: than maybe Erica to speak to this.

304
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 3: Uh, what are you feel like? And let's just let's

305
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 3: just do three.

306
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: But give me three lessons of Charlie that you feel

307
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: like he would want.

308
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 3: You've you've confidence.

309
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: I'm not asking you to speak for him completely, but

310
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: give me three ones and you have total confidence he

311
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: would want audiences like mine and yours to take forward

312
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: into the next era in this country.

313
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 5: M well, uh, well, we'll take a stab at this

314
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 5: and if I get to three or five, we'll we'll

315
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 5: just call it a day.

316
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 4: But I would say, you know, the first the first

317
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 4: thing that.

318
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 5: Comes to mind is do not doom in gloom, Do

319
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 5: not do not Blackpill. Charlie always believed in this country.

320
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 5: He did not give into cynicism. He did not give

321
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 5: into berating the people that are our team teammates and

322
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 5: our team members in this fight, our colleagues.

323
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 4: He he just wouldn't.

324
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 5: He always wanted to believe and always did believe in

325
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 5: the promise of America. Believe this is a providential country,

326
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 5: that God has his hand on it, and that it

327
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 5: is our job to be the link in the chain

328
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 5: between generations to make sure this promise gets passed down.

329
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 5: And he wanted to do that for his family, want

330
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 5: to do that.

331
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 4: For his kids.

332
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 5: And so that's why I'm here, you know, I'm here

333
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 5: to do what Charlie can't now and as as meager

334
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 5: an offering as I can make, but is to believe

335
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 5: in this country and to not give into cynicism. There's

336
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 5: a lot of that online. If you want a dose

337
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 5: to that, go Blackpill online. You'll see it. But there's

338
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 5: a lot to be grateful for. There's a lot to

339
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 5: be thankful for. We've achieved a lot, we've achieved more

340
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 5: than we could have imagined in twenty twenty. You know,

341
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 5: you think back to where we were then the country

342
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 5: is headed in the right direction. There are barriers and

343
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 5: roadblocks and we've got to overcome those, and that's the point.

344
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 5: Charlie would always think about what he can do to help,

345
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 5: So that would be number two.

346
00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 4: What can you do?

347
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 5: The less since that Charlie would say is you've got

348
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 5: to make your life about a purpose greater than yourself,

349
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 5: and if you don't, you'll be miserable and you'll be useless,

350
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 5: both of which are terrible outcomes. So believe in God,

351
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 5: find your faith, and then find your purpose. And that

352
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 5: purpose needs to be yes, starting you know, with your

353
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 5: family and your and your spiritual life, and then put

354
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 5: your your your hands to work for something worthwhile and useful.

355
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 5: So that would be your second lesson. And then I think,

356
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 5: you know three would be like get married and have

357
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 5: a family. I mean, I know I kind of touched

358
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 5: on it, I merged them into one, but really it's

359
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 5: it's like those are lessons that Charlie would would want

360
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 5: everybody to ascribe to and to.

361
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 4: Put into practice. Don't doom, don't doom, and gloom. Don't

362
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 4: give into that.

363
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 5: Be useful, Be purposeful, purposeful, put your life to good good,

364
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 5: use something bigger than yourself. And what a great way

365
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 5: to do that. Get married, have kids. If you're already

366
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 5: that way, pour into your grandkids. You know that's a

367
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 5: I'll make this an honorable mention. Number four is Charlie

368
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 5: was not a fan of retirement. So if you're listening

369
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 5: to this and you are of a certain age and

370
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 5: you're trying to, you know, kick back and rest, I say, okay, sure,

371
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 5: maybe you've deserved some of that, and maybe you have

372
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 5: a different rhythm of your life than you did when

373
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 5: you're younger. But do not stop being useful. Don't believe

374
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 5: the lie of retirement and the golden years. No, the

375
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 5: golden years are right now. It was yesterday, it's going

376
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 5: to be tomorrow. It is what you make of it.

377
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 5: Do not give into the myth of retirement and just

378
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 5: golfing and wasting your life. You have so much to give,

379
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 5: You have so much wisdom to pour into the next generation,

380
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 5: and we need you.

381
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 3: That's beautiful stuff.

382
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: What do you think in terms of issues, we're the

383
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: most energizing for his audience. And now your audience, which

384
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: are excus on the younger side, but I think covers

385
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: a pretty vast swath of the conservative movement. But he

386
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 2: of course was speaking to children, not children, but young

387
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 2: adults on campus. What do you think are the main

388
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: things to convey to the broader conservative movement, that are

389
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 2: really the top issues that the younger conservative demographic is following.

390
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 5: You know, young people, And we have a bunch of

391
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 5: our students on the Charlie Kirk Show regularly, and because

392
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 5: I think it's important to keep their voice front and

393
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 5: center of this movement. And you know, Charlie was really

394
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 5: concerned in the final days of his life with a

395
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 5: couple of things that I believe, you know, are more

396
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 5: true now than they even were then. And one is

397
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 5: the affordability crisis for gen Z. You know, it was interesting.

398
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 5: I remember having this conversation with Charlie a couple of

399
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 5: years back. But it was basically the Brookings Institute came

400
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 5: up with the three MS of these they call them

401
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 5: conservatizing life events. This is a liberal think tank, and

402
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 5: you know it was marriage, mating, and mortgage. They had

403
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 5: different names for him, but Charlie and I realized it

404
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 5: was three ms. Get married mate, have kids, and mortgage.

405
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 5: When you do those three things, you tend to get

406
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 5: more conservative. Yeah, and you know, we have a you know,

407
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 5: I would say financial reality in this world where young

408
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 5: people have been priced out of buying homes, They've been

409
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 5: priced out of a lot of things that we consider

410
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 5: normal American dream kind of things. You know, increasingly the

411
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 5: American dream is a luxury belief and that cannot be

412
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 5: the case. That cannot remain the way that it is.

413
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 4: For young people.

414
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 5: That is a huge, huge concern, and that means yeah,

415
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 5: not you know, importing one point two million people every year.

416
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 5: I think you've got to reform legal immigration. We've got

417
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 5: the AI revolution coming, We've got robotics. We don't need

418
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 5: as many people coming into the country, especially when you

419
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 5: are staring down the barrel of a situation where you're

420
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 5: gonna lose a bunch of entry level jobs, analyst jobs,

421
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 5: things like that. So we need to make sure that

422
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 5: we're not just protecting the incumbent class, incumbent financial class

423
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 5: as is, you know, people that own a home, people

424
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 5: that own stocks, inequities. We need to be thinking about

425
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 5: how we can make sure the next generation gets to

426
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 5: own those things too. And sometimes that can be a

427
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 5: politically fraught discussion because they don't tend to vote as

428
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 5: regularly or as reliably as older generations, so they you know,

429
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 5: politics is a situation where the squeaky wheel does get

430
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 5: the grease. But if we do not ensure that they

431
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 5: have a stake in this society, in this culture, we're

432
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 5: gonna lose them. And you've got Charlie would always say,

433
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 5: you're gonna either have Mom, Donnie, or you're gonna have Maga.

434
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 4: You can't have both.

435
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 5: You got to the fork in the road for our

436
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 5: country is coming up, and we're on a race against

437
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 5: the clock to prove that our ideas are the more successful,

438
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 5: more productive, more American ideas that are going to lead

439
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 5: to more prosperity.

440
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 4: So that's something huge.

441
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 5: He was also warning against the Islamification of the West

442
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 5: and of America and how we need to be very

443
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 5: particular about who we let into our country, because Charlie

444
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 5: did not believe that Islam and Western civilization were compatible,

445
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 5: at least.

446
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 4: Not on the micro or on the macro.

447
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, micro, you meet nice Muslims, there's Charlie had a

448
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 5: bunch of Muslim friends.

449
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 4: I have Muslim friends, that's not what we're talking about.

450
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 5: We're talking mass importation of cultures that hate us and

451
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 5: want to see the degradation in the destruction of Western civilization.

452
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 4: So those are right off the top of my head.

453
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 4: Two really big topics.

454
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 5: We already talked about the importance of faith that this

455
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 5: country is. You know, we're doomed if if the people

456
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 5: are not faithful, and you know, you could ask me

457
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 5: follow up questions, but that's what comes to my top

458
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 5: of mind.

459
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 3: He Yeah, those are fantastic.

460
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: And I do think that the warning about affordability is

461
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: such a big deal because we got one political party

462
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: that's going to solve that with wealth confiscation and redistribution,

463
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: which is going to fail, and then that's going to

464
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: leave people more disappointed than ever. And then they're just

465
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: going to try to import new generations of voters. And

466
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 2: we'd be aware of that because that's a completely different America.

467
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 2: Then we would be completely unrecognizable of that experiment can

468
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 2: go on. And they're pretty open about it now because

469
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: as we've been learning from the first few weeks, you know,

470
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 2: Babbag Gail Spanberger from we're learning from Mom Dommies New York.

471
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: There's not really any moderate Democrats. Maybe Fetterman. Maybe that's it,

472
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 2: like there's no one else's moderate. I mean they're all

473
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 2: they're all radical and heading in that direction. And I

474
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: think that's that kind of mirror all of those top concepts.

475
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: But I want to talk about the faith staff because

476
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: I think one thing that Charlie did, which was just

477
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 2: absolutely ginormous in his passing, is I think make it

478
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 2: okay for people to speak in real, actual, honest to

479
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 2: God terms about how politics and faith intersect. And we

480
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: had been sold as brainwashed that because we don't have

481
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: a state sponsored religion in this country, that we can't

482
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: talk about how faith and politics are intertwined. That's over now,

483
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 2: and it seemed to end in the moment that Charlie died,

484
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 2: which is just an immediate gift. He gave us his

485
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: last book that he wrote, stop in the name of

486
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 2: God while honoring the Sabbath will transform your life.

487
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 3: I know Charlie lived this because we were close enough

488
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 3: to that.

489
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 2: I knew this about him, that he really did shut

490
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 2: down for a Sabbath and was unreachable and then would

491
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 2: come in, you know, like a bat out of hell

492
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 2: when he was done, ready to work and get stuff done,

493
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: but explain to me any inside in Charlie's faith would

494
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 2: be wonderful, but in particular the Sabbath portion of it.

495
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean, Charlie was always a Christian from

496
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 5: the day I started working with him. Of course, I

497
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 5: think he gave his life to the Lord when he

498
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 5: was pretty young, and but it definitely became more and

499
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 5: more serious, and I give Erica a lot of credit

500
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 5: for that. As soon as he got married, it was

501
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 5: it took it up a notch, and then we started

502
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 5: having kids, it took it up another notch. And Covid

503
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 5: played a big role in that, because he thought for

504
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 5: sure the churches wouldn't shut down. They wouldn't they wouldn't

505
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 5: give into this, they were going to keep worshiping. But

506
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 5: they did, many of them did, and so Charlie. I

507
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 5: watched Charlie's faith become more and more central to who

508
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 5: he was. I remember when we first started working together,

509
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 5: he always wanted to be sure that he could debate

510
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 5: a fact or a line of reasoning without faith being

511
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 5: a part of that. That that you know, rationale for him,

512
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 5: and I think he still sort of kept that in

513
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 5: the back of his head as he knew it was

514
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 5: important to be able to argue points of view from different.

515
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 4: Perspectives, but.

516
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 5: Later on in life he basically would oftentimes just fully

517
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 5: integrate them without apology. And I think that was more

518
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 5: powerful actually, because you know, everybody has heard the John

519
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 5: Adams quote, you know that our constitution is wholly inadequate

520
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 5: for an unreligious people.

521
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 4: Right are?

522
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 5: You know I'm paraphrasing, but it's it's it's an important

523
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 5: understanding that you know, you hear this line where it's says,

524
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 5: you know, we have to we get the types of

525
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 5: leaders that that we deserve. And you know, Charlie was

526
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 5: really preaching a message, just said, be a type of

527
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 5: person that deserves good leaders. You know, start at home,

528
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 5: start really on your person. And so Charlie was a preacher,

529
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 5: and I realized this afterwards that you know, we call

530
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 5: them campus tours and proved me wrongs, you know, but

531
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 5: they were really tent revivals, complete with the tent, and

532
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 5: thousands of young people flocked to hear him speak. And

533
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 5: so Charlie's faith became such a critically important part of

534
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 5: who he was and what made him so And you know,

535
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 5: I would just say he was full of integrity, Yeah,

536
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 5: you know, in front of the camera, behind it, and

537
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 5: he really did live it out his ideals. It was

538
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 5: something I'll never forget.

539
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 4: I'll always remember just how faithful he was.

540
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's so much in there that I want to unpack.

541
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 2: That's everything to me. And Charlie was more biblically literate

542
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: than I am. But I'm a church going Christian and

543
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 2: I think about this a lot with our politics. The

544
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 2: why I hate the left, and I've always hated the left,

545
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 2: is because of the godlessness. And I'm not saying not

546
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 2: all of them believe, but they certainly don't bring it

547
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 2: to the public sphere because with godlessness, a lot of

548
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: the things that I hold as the most important values

549
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 2: when it comes to creating good people are irrelevant. For example,

550
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 2: you mentioned how Charlie didn't believe in retirement. He believes

551
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: people should be doing work, but specifically meaningful work, not

552
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 2: wasting your time doing things that don't have a purpose.

553
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 2: A greater purpose that God calls you to do something meaningful.

554
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: Who else could call you to do something meaningful. It

555
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 2: doesn't matter what you do if there's no God. You

556
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: just spend your time enjoying yourself and I find that

557
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: to be very nihilistic and just not I just don't

558
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: like that notion. On a personal level. You use the

559
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 2: word integrity. I can tell you, Andrew, I had a

560
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: big birthday over the weekend and my wife gave me

561
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: a toast where she said I had a lot of integrity,

562
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 2: and that was the.

563
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 3: First thing she said.

564
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 2: And we've known each other since we were children, you know,

565
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 2: seventeen years old when we met, and that meant so

566
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 2: much to me that she's the word integrity that comes

567
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 2: from my faith. It's because I don't want the audience

568
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: to think and my family and my friends to think

569
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 2: that I'm misleading them at all. But if you don't

570
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 2: have a godly worldview, if you have a politics above

571
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 2: else worldview, then you.

572
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 3: Don't care about truth, you don't care about integrity.

573
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 2: And I think that's a fundamental difference between the best

574
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: that our movement has to offer and our political opponents.

575
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 4: Completely agree.

576
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 5: And you know, you said something that might sound striking

577
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,239
Speaker 5: for some I hate the left. You're not saying and

578
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 5: when I say the same thing, you're not saying that

579
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 5: you hate the people necessarily, Yeah, you're not saying that

580
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 5: that you can't be friends with them. You're saying, I

581
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 5: hate the ideology because it ds humans of the most

582
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 5: valuable thing that any of us can have, and that

583
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 5: is our faith in Jesus Christ. And I mean as

584
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 5: a Christian, that's what I'll say. But you know, we

585
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 5: both have friends of different faith and so you know,

586
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 5: I believe Jesus is the way, the truth in the life.

587
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 5: I know that's what you believe too, So let's just

588
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 5: stick there. And what I would say is that you know,

589
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 5: you saw the Democrat Party and you saw the liberal

590
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 5: movement more broadly sort of abandon God over the years.

591
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 5: Now there's some that say that they haven't, and I

592
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 5: guess good for them. I'd obviously disagree with their presentation

593
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 5: of it and the way their conclusions that they reach

594
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 5: from that.

595
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 4: But listen, you need faith in your life.

596
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 5: You need you are a car that it just like

597
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 5: cars run on fuel, human beings run on faith in

598
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 5: a belief in the eternal. And you know, it says

599
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 5: in scripture that God placed eternity in the hearts of men.

600
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 5: And if you don't fill that with a true and

601
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 5: resounding faith in Jesus Christ, you are going to be

602
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 5: filling it with something else, and that something else is

603
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 5: going to be destructive to you and to your culture

604
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 5: and to your civilization.

605
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 4: And that's what we see with the Left.

606
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 5: When you fill that God shaped hole with something else,

607
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 5: you will get perversions and corruptions. It's hard enough not

608
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 5: to end in that same place when you are Christian.

609
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 4: Life is hard, sin is real. We are sinners, we

610
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 4: are fallible. But if you don't have a north star.

611
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 5: That is truth, capital T truth, then you are going

612
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 5: to end in destruction. And that's essentially we have an

613
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 5: entire political movement in this country that has divorced itself

614
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 5: from any accountability to the Almighty and when that happens,

615
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 5: you will end in destruction. And you know, you think

616
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 5: back to previous eras of American politics, there was two

617
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 5: competing ideologies. Sure, but they both they both, you know,

618
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 5: jockeyed for and competed to be the most righteous, the

619
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 5: most the most devout and faithful to the Lord.

620
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 4: That's not the dynamic we have today.

621
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 5: And that's really the big difference if you want to

622
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 5: know the truth of it, of our current political moment

623
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 5: versus you know, historical moments. We need to get back

624
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 5: to that and hopefully the revival that Charlie helps spark

625
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 5: will continue catching fire and will seem wave after wave

626
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 5: after wave of it because we need it.

627
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: The vast majority of my frustration with the last comes

628
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 2: from Dennis Prager's axiom that truth is not a left

629
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 2: wing value. And I know Charlie dedicated his last book

630
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 2: to Dennis, that they were close friends, but him saying

631
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 2: truth is not a left wing value is such a

632
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,479
Speaker 2: profound thing because I'm just watching, you know, as we're

633
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 2: having this conversation. The biggest story is what's going on

634
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 2: in Minneapolis, and the main frustration is that there's one

635
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 2: side who is not even attempting to present the facts.

636
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 2: I came into my live show today and the first

637
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 2: thing I he said was, I honestly don't see why

638
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: I shot the guy that said, here's all the other context,

639
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: but I'll introduce that I didn't understand the why why

640
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 2: I just pulled the trigger. So I started from that

641
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: premise that I'm acknowledging there's something here why people are upset,

642
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 2: and now let's unpack it.

643
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 3: But they don't do any of that.

644
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 2: They come in and announce it's an execution, it's a murder,

645
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 2: that this is all this has nothing to do with

646
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: Somali fraudsters, Like what are you talking about? And we

647
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 2: just are lied to constantly and this makes it so

648
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 2: that it's very it's impossible to have unity and it's

649
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: very hard to have progress.

650
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 3: And I think that's why Charlie.

651
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 2: Wanted to go to campus and when to talk to

652
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 2: people and he didn't lord over them. He sits down

653
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 2: and he fields their questions. That that is the way

654
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: to convince more people. And I think that's why he

655
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 2: was such a threat ultimately, is because he had found

656
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 2: not just the message, but he had found a medium where.

657
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 3: He could get through to people.

658
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 2: And that's what breaks my heart the most, is because

659
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's replaceable.

660
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 3: I don't.

661
00:30:58,720 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: And I think that there's a lot we can do

662
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: buying the microphone, there's a lot we could do a

663
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 2: big events, but that unique thing and you can speak

664
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: to this, Andrew. I'm hoping you'll tell me I'm wrong,

665
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 2: But that's the one thing where I feel like that's

666
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: a big, big hole that we're going to mass without

667
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: Charlie doing that on campuses.

668
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not going to tell you're wrong, because you're

669
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 5: absolutely right.

670
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 4: I mean.

671
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 5: As you're describing that, Alex, I think back to some

672
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 5: of the last conversations I had with Charlie. I remember

673
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 5: there was controversy swirling in the news, and Charlie was

674
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 5: so excited because he knew he was going to get

675
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 5: asked about it on campus and he was going to

676
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 5: use that as an opportunity to present his perspective on

677
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 5: it and then blast it out on TikTok and YouTube

678
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 5: and x and watch those things go viral, right, And

679
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 5: I don't know, you can't really replace that. Charlie was

680
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 5: an expert. He had mastered that medium. And so again

681
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 5: it's just going to have to be all of us

682
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 5: together doing our part. And you know, at turning point,

683
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 5: we're going to keep the you know, pick up the

684
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 5: mic tour going and we're going to have a lot

685
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 5: of people that want to put some reps in and

686
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 5: hopefully they'll get better and better and better the more

687
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 5: they do this with us, and we can keep doing

688
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 5: it and keep growing it and create more and more

689
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 5: content that will then live online and convince more and

690
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 5: more people.

691
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 4: That is the way.

692
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 5: But you know, it's funny. I thought everybody did a

693
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 5: tremendous job on our tour. You know, this is the

694
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 5: turning point tour that we did after Charlie died. But

695
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 5: I mean I saw the comments like, oh, this, I

696
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 5: wish he was to do this more like Charlie, or

697
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,479
Speaker 5: they missed this, that Charlie would do it this way.

698
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 4: I mean, what a heck of a thing to have

699
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 4: to live under.

700
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 5: I experience it every day in my duties as well.

701
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 5: But you know, we want our friends to have success

702
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 5: and to do this, and really what it takes is reps.

703
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 5: You got to do it a number of times and

704
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 5: you start getting better and better and better at it.

705
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 5: And so I do agree it's irreplaceable. But I have

706
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 5: to believe that God has a plan and we're going

707
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 5: to find new ways to get our word out and

708
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 5: get our message out.

709
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 3: I think so too, And both can be true.

710
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 2: And I got the same comments when Andrew died and

711
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 2: when Steve left Bright Bar.

712
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 3: I mean it was always if I would do something.

713
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Andrew would have done this or Steve would

714
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: have done that, and then and they're not necessarily wrong.

715
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 2: They're not necessarily wrong, But it doesn't mean that we

716
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 2: can't overall grow.

717
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 5: And I'll bet yeah, yeah, my favor My favorites though,

718
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 5: are when when when you do something like that's a

719
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 5: pure charlieism and people go, Charlie would have never done that.

720
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 5: You're you're you're charnish his legacy or so I see

721
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 5: the comments, you know sometimes and I'm like, no, as

722
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 5: a matter of fact, Charlie did it, you know, fourteen times,

723
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 5: you know, whatever, whatever the thing is like, that's actually.

724
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 4: Something Charlie did. So it's it's funny because you do

725
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 4: have a microscope over over your life and over your uh,

726
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 4: your actions and your choices and and but we're trying,

727
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 4: you know, to honor Charlie and to do what Charlie

728
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 4: would do in so much of what we do.

729
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 5: And then there's instances where we don't have a roadmap,

730
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 5: you know, we don't have a parallel to something that

731
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 5: we experienced with Charlie, and you just got to do

732
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 5: your best.

733
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good.

734
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: And this the spirit, though is Charlie would work through things.

735
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 3: And I knew Charlie when he was a baby.

736
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 2: I mean he was a high school when he first

737
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 2: came to Briightbart as I've been saying, and I will

738
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 2: tell the story for the rest of my life talking

739
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 2: about him coming to Breitbart with a scoop and us

740
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 2: telling him to write it up himself, and catching lightning

741
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: in a bottle, and he was all over TV and radio.

742
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 2: And that's a part I've shared with the audience several

743
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 2: times and will continue to forever. But he wasn't right

744
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 2: about everything instantly. He worked through stuff, and I think

745
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 2: that's another encouraging thing. But one thing that Charlie did

746
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 2: not have to be taught that I don't know if

747
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 2: this has been internalized by the movement in general, is

748
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 2: he really was a unifier. He did not relish and

749
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 2: in fight, even he had many opportunities to have in

750
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: fighting and win, and he would pass on them.

751
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 3: For the most part.

752
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 2: I can't recall him doing any infighting publicly. And I

753
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 2: know he had some strong opinions about some of his

754
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 2: quote unquote friends and competitors that he would never share publicly,

755
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 2: and I don't share them on his behalf.

756
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 3: I don't think the be fair.

757
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 2: But some that has not necessarily been the entirety of

758
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 2: the reaction and our movement. Our movement is not I

759
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 2: think past that test. Just to be flat out about it, Andrew,

760
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 2: I'm not ask you to call anyone out or be negative,

761
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 2: But what are the positive things you think Charlie would

762
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 2: have wanted in terms of unity for the movement and

763
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 2: the cause.

764
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think you're one hundred percent right.

765
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 5: Charlie avoided feud culture. You know, he avoided the YouTuber

766
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 5: feu culture.

767
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 3: Fewed culture. That's what it is, exactly.

768
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 5: What and so he he refused to give into it.

769
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 5: And you know, one of and I'm not going to

770
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 5: say it was my last memory with Charlie, it was

771
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 5: pretty darn close to the end. He sent me this

772
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 5: list of I think it was the Greek virtues that

773
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 5: you know, of function of roles and function you could

774
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 5: play in society, and the top couple were statesmen and

775
00:35:55,360 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 5: philosopher and at the bottom of that list were entertainer.

776
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 5: And you know, Charlie was very clear with me. He

777
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 5: thought that the highest role, the highest and best use

778
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 5: of a man's time was to aspire to be a

779
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 5: statesman and a philosopher and to excuse a shoot the

780
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 5: lower callings, which would be you know, entertainer, mud slinger,

781
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 5: whatever you want to call it. And he believed that

782
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 5: the online entertain entertainment politics is entertainment while it could

783
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 5: play a role and it certainly could have a place,

784
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 5: he thought that those were low and he wanted to

785
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 5: be somebody that could unify a coalition and build a

786
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 5: movement that that was bigger than him, that could win

787
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 5: the country, that could win the culture, that could uh,

788
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 5: that could that could really create generational wins. And that's

789
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 5: what we're building towards when Charlie was alive, and we're

790
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 5: still going to be building towards that because that's the

791
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 5: it's the best, highest and best use of our time.

792
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 5: And so, yeah, turning point is not going to get

793
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 5: in the mud with everything. It's not we're not gonna

794
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 5: comment on every new conspiracy theory or every new you know,

795
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 5: online controversy. But we'll pick and choose, and Charlie picked

796
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 5: and choose as well, And that's kind of the model

797
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 5: that we're going to follow because we're busy building. We're

798
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,959
Speaker 5: busy building things, and we you know, there is only

799
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 5: so much time in the day, and it's precious. If

800
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 5: Charlie's life leaves you with you know, one lasting message,

801
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 5: it's that put yourself to good use, pursue the higher things,

802
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 5: because time is precious.

803
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 4: And so we're busy building, right. I love it when

804
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 4: Erica tells the story of.

805
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 5: Nehemiah and that the mob is down there demanding, you know,

806
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 5: he's building the wall to protect Jerusalem and the people

807
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 5: are upset with them, and they keep demanding that he

808
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 5: come down and talk to them and demand and demand,

809
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 5: and they feel so entitled to him, and he says,

810
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 5: I'm busy working. I'm busy building something of great worth,

811
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 5: and that's what we need to be about. And Charlie

812
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 5: was a unifier, and so he would prefer instead of

813
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 5: online feuds or public spats, he would always call people,

814
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 5: text them and if people came after him, the one

815
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 5: thing I remember him constantly saying, it's like, do you

816
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 5: not have a phone?

817
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 4: Do you not like you have my number? Yeah, why

818
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 4: don't you text me?

819
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 5: And the the propensity of some people to not just

820
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 5: pick up the phone and say, hey, I have a

821
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 5: problem with something you said, or you're doing this wrong,

822
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 5: or I have notes and we work together on this

823
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 5: and instead turned to public spats is a really remarkable

824
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 5: phenomena of our modern era. And I think it's really unhealthy.

825
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 5: You know, you think about biblically, if you think your

826
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 5: brother's in sin. You know, you confront him one to

827
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 5: one if he refuses, bring a friend, you know, another believer,

828
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 5: and that's in sin. But that's a biblical model that

829
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,919
Speaker 5: really we should follow as Christians, as Christian conservatives and

830
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 5: try and expect the best out of people instead of

831
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 5: hoping for the worst.

832
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 2: Another red light therapy device. You need to hear this.

833
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: Most red light tools in the market are not medical grade.

834
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 2: They're cheaply made in China underpower, and they're inconsistent. That

835
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 2: means uneven light output, shallow penetration, and results that barely

836
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 2: make a difference. Many brands rely on buzzwords and flashy

837
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 2: marketing because the product itself can't do the work. The

838
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 2: SunPower Led Super Palm, however, is different. This is a

839
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 2: medical grade light therapy tool designed to deliver consistent, high

840
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 2: quality light output the Kime professionals trust. Medical grade means

841
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 2: stronger performance, better reliability, and far more noticeable results compared

842
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 2: to cheap consumer grade alternatives. Is easy to use, comfortable

843
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 2: in your hand, and design for people who want real healing,

844
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: not guesswork. And because SunPower Led stands behind its quality,

845
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 2: you're protected with a money back guarantee and a two

846
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 2: year warranty, something most competitors just can't offer. Stop wasting

847
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 2: money on non medical grade tools. Upgrade to real performance

850
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:05,919
Speaker 3: Just to put yourself in Charlie shoes.

851
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 2: One last time for the day, Andrew, And I'm not

852
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 2: promising one last time forever, but one last time for

853
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 2: it for the day is the I'm looking at the

854
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 2: political landscape and this is gonna be a tough midterm cycle,

855
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 2: and I can tell you I'm already thinking about Charlie

856
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 2: heading in towards this and I feel like we're being

857
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 2: tested here. I think that in order to understand the

858
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 2: lessons of the evil that we're up against and the

859
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 2: institutional left in America right now, it demands us. It

860
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 2: compels us to be engaged twenty four to seven now

861
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 2: and not wait until last second, and to be more organized,

862
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 2: to join up with organizations like Turning Point and others

863
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 2: that are doing good work to make sure that we're

864
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 2: building a robust movement at this moment. So Charlie did

865
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 2: not die in vain. I think that that feels essential.

866
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 2: But what didn't you do a Pine on that. I

867
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 2: f your thoughts on that.

868
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, listen, if we lose the midterms, I

869
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 5: don't think that Charlie has died in vain.

870
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 3: I know that.

871
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 4: Look, so let's just get that out of the way, right.

872
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't mean to say it that way.

873
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 5: No, No, I know you were, but I just want to

874
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 5: make sure that that's not even or the vibe, you know.

875
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 5: But because listen, it's I think that we have a

876
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,720
Speaker 5: great chance of you know, maintaining control of the House

877
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 5: in the mid terms. Yeah, I would say it's less

878
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 5: than you know, fifty to fifty, but we have a

879
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,919
Speaker 5: great chance and so and we should pour energies into

880
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 5: winning that, and we should pour our energies into getting

881
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 5: better conservatives, better you know, Republicans in office. You know,

882
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 5: Charlie would always say, all I want is a party

883
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 5: of elected leaders that says conservative as its voters. Because

884
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 5: there's still a massive disconnect. You see that with the

885
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 5: NED funding, you see that with the you know, a

886
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 5: bunch of different the kill switch vote, whatever it is.

887
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 5: I mean, there's just constantly Republicans are turning on their

888
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 5: base and their voters.

889
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 4: So that's I mean, that's we should put our energies

890
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 4: into that.

891
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 5: And I think, listen, you know, I think Cook has

892
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 5: it at like, you know, with something like two hundred ten,

893
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 5: two hundred twelve safely reliable Republican seats, so like you

894
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 5: only need a few more to get a majority. I

895
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 5: think that people are under estimating our ability to hold

896
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 5: the House. And you know, we've got this redistricting battle

897
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 5: that like, yeah, it hasn't gone perfectly looking at you, Indiana,

898
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 5: but we you know, we're we're probably still gonna net

899
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 5: a few are leaning seats out of this. And so

900
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 5: you put everything together, you hope the economy comes back.

901
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 5: You know, this ice situation is not gonna it's gonna

902
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 5: be Yesterday's news soon.

903
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 4: Uh.

904
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 5: And I don't think it's been a winner, you know, obviously,

905
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 5: and Trump's trying to pivot.

906
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 4: But immigration is a winner. Deportations are a winner.

907
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 5: Stopping Somali fraud rings that are stealing taxpayer at all

908
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 5: is that's a winner. So we got to get back

909
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 5: to the main thing being the main thing and put

910
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 5: the you know this this these vigilantes and these agitators

911
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 5: or whatever you want to call them, we got to

912
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 5: get that back off the front page. Things will balance out,

913
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 5: and I think the economic news is going to be phenomenal. Uh,

914
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 5: that that's what I'm hearing. So yeah, I mean too,

915
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 5: let's just be positive.

916
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 4: Do not doom, do not doom and gloom.

917
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,479
Speaker 5: Put yourself to something useful, you know, joint turning action,

918
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 5: Go volunteer, get it to apply for a job. We're

919
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 5: hiring what we call the Red Wall in New Hampshire, Arizona,

920
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,919
Speaker 5: and Nevada, which we believe that Listen, if you hold

921
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 5: the sun Belt, you add Nevada, Arizona and New Hampshire's

922
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 5: reliable red states, all states where there's more conservatives than

923
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 5: there are Democrats, then you've got a situation where you

924
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 5: could lose the entire Blue Wall in the future and

925
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 5: still win a presidential election. So yeah, atturny point action.

926
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 5: This was by the way, this is straight from Charlie.

927
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 5: This was part of Charlie's plan. So we're still living

928
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 5: under some of these things that we developed with Charlie.

929
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,760
Speaker 5: Alive with us if we want to build towards twenty

930
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 5: twenty eight. Yeah, there's important congressional races we're going to

931
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 5: be playing in. Yeah, there's important endorsements, there's people that

932
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 5: we need to have on the show. There's ideas that

933
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 5: we need to contend with in the public in the

934
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 5: public square. But we're working on a vision where we

935
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 5: can block Democrats from winning national elections. And if you're

936
00:43:54,960 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 5: looking at two ten to twelve reliably Republican House and

937
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 5: we're more likely than not to maintain control of the Senate.

938
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 5: I like our chances. And this is not doom and glube.

939
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 5: We sell President Trump in the.

940
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 4: White House, So be positive, see the upside, and put

941
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 4: your hands to work.

942
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 2: I'm the only thing I'm fearful about that answer, Andrew,

943
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 2: is it's too similar to how I try to talk

944
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 2: to people. It just the same way some of the

945
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 2: Black pill stay jacked up about stuff. And Yeah, you

946
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 2: don't have to win everyone. You got to dust yourself

947
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 2: off and keep getting back. I do think I don't

948
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 2: think that winning the mid term is necessary on Charlie's behalf.

949
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 2: I'm not going that far, but I am saying I

950
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 2: would like to see a little extra engagement. Andrew, is

951
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 2: that so unreasonable to ask a little more focus here

952
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 2: in Charlie's honor?

953
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 3: Can we get that going?

954
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 4: Yeah?

955
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 5: Well, listen, I already feel better in twenty twenty six

956
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 5: than I did in twenty twenty five. I mean, there

957
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 5: were some real low points there, Alex In like November,

958
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 5: early December, it was getting harry out there, and you

959
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 5: can already feel that that energy is no longer dominant.

960
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 5: I mean it's still there obviously, but it's no longer dominant.

961
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:02,959
Speaker 4: And I feel like people.

962
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 5: Are, you know, they're now getting back to focusing on

963
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 5: the main thing. And I think you're going to continue

964
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 5: hopefully seeing that, especially when we get closer and closer

965
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 5: to November, and you know, I would just say, uh,

966
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 5: black pilling is nihilism, don't do it.

967
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,280
Speaker 4: That's for leftists.

968
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly right, it's exactly right.

969
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 2: I want to be a positive people and if you

970
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 2: find it up being too negaive, it's probably because too

971
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 2: much online time. So I do recommend an occasional log

972
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 2: off in that regards. Yeah, it really is important, really

973
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 2: is important. As many walks as you can make sure

974
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 2: you getting your exercise and take a sabbath very worthwhile.

975
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 2: It's the I get to say, it's funny because I

976
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 2: left my I left my phone. Recently taken my eldest

977
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 2: to swimming, and I left my phone and I pulled away,

978
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 2: and I knew the second I pulled away down my

979
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 2: phone and I just left it and I'm gonna indulge.

980
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,479
Speaker 2: And I had four hundred miss calls when I got back,

981
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 2: and it felt great. I just like, see they actually

982
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 2: watched this, I mean, class, not fumble on your phone.

983
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 2: So Andrew, let me ask you about you because we

984
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 2: talked a lot about Charlie. But you know, you're you're

985
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 2: out there and you're a huge voice. It's the how's

986
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 2: life for you?

987
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: Are you?

988
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 3: Are you doing okay?

989
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

990
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 5: No, I'm I'm doing okay. I you know, I mean

991
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,479
Speaker 5: just being super honest. The first week I keep talking

992
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 5: about turning the calendar over, but actually that first week

993
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:23,439
Speaker 5: of January is rough.

994
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 4: It was. It was a.

995
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,879
Speaker 5: Pretty low week, just feeling, you know, Charlie's absence, and

996
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 5: you know they always say that a grief, that it's.

997
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 4: Not a straight line.

998
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 5: And no, I'm not too proud to admit I just

999
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 5: you know, me and the wife we had some like

1000
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 5: just some good cries, you know, And I think that

1001
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 5: was actually an important thing, just to kind of get

1002
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 5: it out, like I think I'd been bottling it up

1003
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 5: for a while.

1004
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 4: And listen, I don't. It's tough.

1005
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 5: I'm always gonna miss Charlie and I'm always going to

1006
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 5: feel his absence. And that's sort of the tragedy of

1007
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 5: these types of things. I have to believe is that

1008
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 5: you just, you know, how the people closest to Charlie,

1009
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 5: it's like, what are we supposed to do? You know,

1010
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 5: we just lost this amazing person and it's never gonna

1011
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 5: be okay. So I don't know how you deal with that.

1012
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 5: I'm sort of like verbally processing, right.

1013
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 2: You don't, I've got yeah, and you'll you'll know as

1014
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 2: well as anyone through this process.

1015
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that. It's funny.

1016
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 2: My wife says to me, and she never met Charlie,

1017
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 2: but she would seize content and socials and she knew

1018
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 2: my relationship with him, my respect for him, and she

1019
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 2: just would periodically say to me, I wish he was

1020
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 2: still here, just that simple sentiment, like I wish he

1021
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 2: was just still around doing good and I wish we

1022
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 2: knew that was happening, and so simple and beautiful like

1023
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,439
Speaker 2: but that's it's a very real thing.

1024
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1025
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 5: My five year old looked at me like a few

1026
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 5: nights ago, and you know, I don't think he ever

1027
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 5: actually met Charlie, believe it or not, because we're always

1028
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 5: traveling and I was always traveling, but he maybe he did.

1029
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 5: I maybe once actually, But anyways, the point is he

1030
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 5: just you know, looked at me. And I've been very

1031
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 5: sort of skittish with the details obviously for obviously reason

1032
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 5: with my children, but my five year old looked at

1033
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 5: me and was like, I wish Charlie was still.

1034
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 4: Alive, and it like, you know, what are you gonna do.

1035
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 5: I'll get emotional even saying this to you on the

1036
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 5: air and try and keep it together.

1037
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 4: But you know, stuff like that sucks. I'm not gonna lie.

1038
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 4: It's awful.

1039
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 5: And you just kind of keep reminding yourself of your

1040
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,879
Speaker 5: faith and that we don't grieve the way the world does,

1041
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 5: and that you believe God is doing something and God

1042
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 5: will redeem this and God will redeem the evil and

1043
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 5: use it for good. And so, you know, me and

1044
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 5: my wife, we're really really strong. Our marriage is strong,

1045
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 5: my family's healthy and wonderful, and the team here is rallying,

1046
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 5: and so there's so much to be thankful for. And

1047
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 5: I you know, but it, you know, there's there's aspects

1048
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 5: of life in this in this era, that just kind

1049
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 5: of awful, and there's I just don't think there's any

1050
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 5: getting around that. And I was talking to a pastor

1051
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 5: kind of in that first week of January, and I

1052
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 5: told him I was like, I think I'm a little depressed,

1053
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 5: Like I'm a depressed since I was like in high

1054
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 5: school or something. If I feel it, And he's like,

1055
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 5: he's like, you're not depressed, you're grieving.

1056
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 4: Go read lamentations right now.

1057
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 5: And I was like, okay, yes, sir, And I went

1058
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 5: to read lamentations. I was and I felt better, and

1059
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 5: I do feel better. So I remember, I remember that

1060
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 5: in those moments where you're kind of tempted to feel,

1061
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 5: you know, depressed, and just remember that that's you know,

1062
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 5: grief will comes in waves. Everybody's warned me about it,

1063
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 5: and so we just we carry on. But I'm just

1064
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 5: so grateful. If I didn't have a strong marriage, if

1065
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 5: I didn't have a wonderful wife and beautiful.

1066
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 4: Kids, like I'd be in trouble. I will tell you that.

1067
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 5: So back to Charlie's lesson, get married, have kids. It's

1068
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 5: worth it. You won't you won't regret it.

1069
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 2: And that's what I lean on as well, and I

1070
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 2: share that with the audience every chance I get that.

1071
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 2: That's my secret weapon, is that I've a I like

1072
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 2: my own life, and that's what gives me.

1073
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 3: It's funny. It's funny how the kids.

1074
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 2: The kids get you though, is the I made it

1075
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 2: through after Charlie died. I made it through the I

1076
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 2: was live for Hugh Hewitt on Live Radio for.

1077
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 3: Three hours and.

1078
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,359
Speaker 2: I mostly made it through that. And then I got

1079
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 2: to my podcast and I made it mostly through the podcast,

1080
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 2: and I started talking about how I brought my son

1081
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,919
Speaker 2: to meet my oldest son to meet Charlie right before

1082
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 2: he died, and just a little interaction with them that

1083
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,399
Speaker 2: I can remember, you know, and Charlie is like nine

1084
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:22,479
Speaker 2: feet tall, like he's a ridiculously tall person. And my son,

1085
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 2: you know, is my waist high. And just that little image,

1086
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 2: that little memory that I have, like I couldn't get

1087
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 2: it out. It was just like started the blubbering. You

1088
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 2: guys can play back the tape. I left it in

1089
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 2: because I thought it was important to leave it in.

1090
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I did.

1091
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 5: I So Steve Bannon flew to Utah right after it happened,

1092
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 5: and he like I got like call after call. You know,

1093
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 5: it's kind of trying to ignore it, but Steve really

1094
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 5: wants you on, and I.

1095
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 4: Just sort of knew I wasn't going to like be

1096
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:48,359
Speaker 4: able to make it through.

1097
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 5: And I made it through almost almost the entire interview,

1098
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 5: like right after. I mean, I was like really trying

1099
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 5: to stay strong. And then there's this clip of me

1100
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 5: just like on with Still. I did just like it, just,

1101
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,439
Speaker 5: you know, and it was talking about we were talking

1102
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 5: about Charlie was never going to grow old. And when

1103
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 5: I think about that thought, still, you know, it just

1104
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 5: just too much.

1105
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: You know.

1106
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 5: There's actually a little more eulogy that Blake actually helped write,

1107
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 5: and and I was reading it on air, and you know,

1108
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 5: somewhere that clip exists, and I don't. I've never gone

1109
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 5: back to watch it because you know, it's it's just

1110
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 5: too hard.

1111
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 2: But it's good that it's out there, though, because he

1112
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 2: was a real person and he's such a bigger, larger

1113
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 2: than life icon when you get to that level. But

1114
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 2: it is important to know, and that's why it's important

1115
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 2: that we talk about not just what he stood for,

1116
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 2: but who he was as a as a man, as

1117
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 2: an individual. I got to meet his children for the

1118
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:50,760
Speaker 2: first time. The last time I was visiting you guys

1119
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 2: in Arizona, and that was I didn't even know what

1120
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 2: to do, Like I paced around in private when I

1121
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,919
Speaker 2: saw that they were there, and then his son and

1122
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 2: I don't I don't want to make habit of using

1123
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 2: the names just in case. He came over and gave

1124
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 2: me a high five, and you know, he's he's knee high,

1125
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 2: and I was like, I can't believe that just happened

1126
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 2: to me, Like it's just.

1127
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 3: And the evil.

1128
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 2: Took that from us to took away his dad. And

1129
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 2: it's important to remember and to fight. We gotta fight that.

1130
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 2: One way to fight is to support everything turning points

1131
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 2: doing I'm Charlie kirkshow is still one of the biggest

Speaker 5: big songs. It's gonna be fantastic. I will tell you

1146
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 5: that the NFL is a bit of a cartel. He

1147
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 5: ran into a lot of people that were like, well,

1148
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 5: we're not going up against the NFL like venues. I mean,

1149
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 5: it was, it was a harder lift than we were expecting,

1150
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 5: but we're really excited, really proud of how it's shaped up,

1151
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 5: and make those announcements next week.

1152
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm glad you gotta take it on the NFL,

1153
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 2: because I'm not. I never forgave him for allowing all

1154
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 2: the Kaepernick stuff.

1155
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 3: I thought that was a big revie.

1156
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 4: That was a huge low, wasn't it. It was a

1157
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 4: huge cultural low. I mean, Kaepernick helped give us Trump though.

1158
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,319
Speaker 5: That's I genuinely think it was that depressing for a

1159
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 5: lot of people, you know.

1160
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta tell you on talk radio when I

1161
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 2: was on that nothing lit up the phone lines than

1162
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 2: complaining about Kaepernick. I don't think people really understood that

1163
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:43,959
Speaker 2: that he was the most hated person. And I don't

1164
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 2: think I think people don't remember that history that how

1165
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,760
Speaker 2: because it was so effective as a left wing protest.

1166
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 3: He was very effective. He was the most effective.

1167
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 5: Was Yes, yeah, I was a big Niners fan growing up,

1168
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 5: alex And so I will never forget it. So I

1169
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 5: grew up in northern Nevada. The closest football team to

1170
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 5: us was either Oakland Raiders. We weren't gonna do that.

1171
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 5: We weren't like Skull and Crossbones fan. It was the

1172
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 5: forty nine ers, you know, So the forty nine ers,

1173
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 5: you know, Joe Montana is Steve Young, on and on,

1174
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 5: and that was that. Those were formative, you know, players

1175
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,320
Speaker 5: and like icons. I don't even really remember Joe Montana,

1176
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 5: but I was, you know, I'm not old enough, but

1177
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 5: but I still understood the lore and I knew understood

1178
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 5: the Super Bowls that he went. And so for Colin

1179
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 5: Kaepernick to take that spot and then just completely desecrate

1180
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,399
Speaker 5: the position, I mean, I literally I had a Colin

1181
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 5: Kaepernick jersey because he was a University of Nevada graduate,

1182
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 5: where I was like close to where I.

1183
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 4: Grew up, and then to watch him just completely blow

1184
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 4: it all up. It was just a tragedy and I

1185
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 4: am still not over it. I still I still find

1186
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 4: myself tempted to root for the forty nine ers and

1187
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 4: then I remember that and it and it's hard. It's depressive.

1188
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 3: All right.

1189
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 2: So All American Halftime Show, do you know where it's

1190
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 2: gonna be broadcast? Where can people watch? I'm sure it's

1191
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 2: gonna be all over social.

1192
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 4: It's going to be all over It'll be on Real

1193
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 4: America's Voice, Daily Wire, some other over the top networks.

1194
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 5: It's going to be all over x and YouTube and Twitter,

1195
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 5: so you'll find it Rumble.

1196
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 2: Probably dot Com, I'm guessing as well, So you'll be

1197
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 2: able to find that everywhere.

1198
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 5: If that hasn't been established at ALEX, I'm sure you

1199
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 5: and I could put our heads together and make it happen.

1200
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 5: And yeah, I mean listen, it's going to be all

1201
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 5: over the place, and that we're just kind of you

1202
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 5: know there. I think there's some licensing stuff we have

1203
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 5: to with some of the songs that we have to

1204
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 5: be careful about, but otherwise it's it's gonna be everywhere

1205
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 5: because we just want to we want a very pro America,

1206
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 5: pro wholesome values. But entertaining fun for the whole family,

1207
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 5: opportunity at the halftime show where you don't have to

1208
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 5: speak Spanish, you don't have to like worry about, you know,

1209
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 5: queer dresses and things like this, you know, just like

1210
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 5: something your kids can watch.

1211
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, and especially considering that the core audience is all

1212
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 2: American males, sculinity, the warrior ethos, like that's what the essence,

1213
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,800
Speaker 2: and it won't capture that, believe me, right, and then.

1214
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 5: It will be a very very masculine friendly experience would

1215
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 5: be good for all the family, you know.

1216
