This is 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.640 a tradition of America Fests and we are keeping it alive. 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.160 And I want to look to my right here, the 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:50.080 great Steve Bannon is joining us as his tradition. Steve 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.360 and I were texting last night and I was like, Steve, 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.160 you know we have to do it. We have to 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.600 do it, and your instant response was yeah, because that's 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.680 what me and Charlie did. We have to keep it going. 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:00.840 So thank you for doing it. 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:01.880 No, thanks for having us. 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:03.760 And we just love being on a real America's voice 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.640 and do the transition to you guys every day, every 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:07.200 day of the week. 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.280 Steve, why we have you? I want to ask you 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.840 a question, What does America Fest mean? Why is it 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:14.080 important that we gather like that? 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.880 It's always been important, you know, the Student Action Summit 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:18.720 in the summer, America Fest the end of the year, 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:23.359 it's always been important. This year obviously not simply the assassination, 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.600 but everything Charlie stood for We've got the toughest year. 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.280 I went back in the first show. We won in sixteen, 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.200 we lost. The only time we lost is eighteen. We 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:35.120 won in twenty, we won in twenty two, we won 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.120 in twenty four. We are on a roll. And Charlie 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.959 kirk knew better than anybody what it took to win. 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.640 Look what he did in twenty two midterms. Look what 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.920 he did in twenty twenty four. We've got the hardest 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.799 year is in front of us, because as soon as 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.400 the economy starts to turn around, these people are demonic, 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.560 and what they're gonna do is come with more political violence, 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:58.919 more their madness, more of the craziness. 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:00.120 Charlie kirk knew that. 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:03.280 That's why he went to the Diant, the Lion's Den. 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:04.639 Every day, you know, every day of the week. 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.960 The guy was a hero, a patriot, and a one 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.760 of the greatest Americans, not just of this generation, but 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.880 any generation. That's why I think Amfest and look, that's 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.720 over thirty thousand people and everybody's very enthusiaic. I think 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:18.880 seventy percent of the people have never been to an 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.040 Amfest before. So this shows you the power of this movement. 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.680 Yeah, you're right, And in honor Charlie's honor, I want 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:28.120 to play a clip from Charlie at this exact location 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:32.200 last year, December twenty twenty four. Play cut two two three. 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.240 Young men are the most conservative that they have been 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:37.560 in over fifty years. 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:40.720 Fifty years. 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.400 Think about that now. 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.760 A reporter asked me, They said, Charlie, can you try 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:49.279 to explain this phenomenon? 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.080 He said, yeah, it's very simple. 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.400 Young men want to be part of a political movement 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:59.200 that doesn't hate them. In fact, let me go a 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:03.360 step further, that thinks they're essential to a future of 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:07.760 a country, that we need strong men and strong women, 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.480 that we're sick and tired of hearing about toxic masculinity 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.320 when we are drowning in toxic femininity. 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:19.280 That's the great Charlie Kirk. Everybody, the great Charlie Kirk. 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.800 We miss him every day. Steve the There's gonna be 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.560 a lot. There's already been a lot of ink spilled, 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.640 you know, Maga Civil War, Conservative civil War. Obviously, we 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:33.320 had a pretty spicy opening night. What do you think, 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.440 what do you think is the most important theme, the 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.440 through line that we need to hit. Also from the 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.040 main stage, but amongst the people in the crowd, people 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:44.800 at the breakouts, what's the theme here. 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.000 Look, we're always gonna have differences. 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.440 Some of these differences are big, they're important, They got 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:50.160 be worked out. 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.120 But as Charlie kirk knew, Charlie. 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:58.400 Kirk knew better than anybody, there is no substitute for victory. Right, 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.240 We've got to keep the We lose the mid terms, 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:03.800 the entire revolution is gonna get ground down. 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.560 Charlie kirk knew. This is what I amfest. 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:09.599 The theme of this was going to be driving forward, 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.039 what we have to do to drive forward to a 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.200 victory in the case of there are going to be 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.760 some people in this movement that fundamentally disagree on some 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.880 pretty basic stuff. We gotta work those things out and 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:21.280 it's gonna be worked out. 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:22.640 Okay, it's gonna be worked out. 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.720 But that can't take our eye off the ball of 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:29.240 what Charlie Kirk taught us, right, Charlie Kirk taught. 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.640 Us victory, victory, victory, and that's what we got to 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:33.440 focus on this year. 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.240 Jack, same question to you, because I know that you're 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.680 gonna be thrown into the lines Den here. You're gonna be. 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.200 You know you're gonna get that same question. What do 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.520 you talking about? Exactly what this is? This is my 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.400 point for everybody out there. Fear not when you see 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.480 those those headlines. Because conservatives were a rowdy bunch. We're 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.160 a rockets bunch. We want to disagree in public. And 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:55.640 by the way, if they try and tell you that 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:59.200 some consensus has been reached on an issue without this 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.120 public debate, without having it out, we're not gonna believe 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.080 it anyways. The kids aren't gonna believe it anyways, They're 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.000 gonna call garbage on it. They're not gonna believe it, 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:07.840 and we're not gonna have a consensus and we're gonna 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.960 be further behind than we were. So we need to 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.680 do this sometimes, we need to have these disagreements. Don't 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.440 let yourself be troubled. Trust me, Jack, you're gonna be 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.720 up there. You're gonna be having some of these disagreements. 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.440 What is your message for Anfest twenty twenty five. 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.960 For the Reordam, I'm working on a little secret operation 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:28.920 that he revealed at a later time this weekend. So 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.320 I'm not just sitting in Texas away some logistic issues 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:36.440 that we're dealing with for something that I think everybody 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.320 is gonna be very interested in finding out tomorrow. 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.839 And that's really all I can leave it at that. 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.480 Oh come on, Jack, no, no, no, no, no, no. 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:48.000 Sworn a secrecy, sworn a secrecy, operational security, Ben, and 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.279 you know about opsec. You need operational security on this one. 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:52.920 But I want to say I'm not being rude to 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:53.640 take care of something. 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:54.600 Look. 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:59.560 Look, the division that you are seeing now is very clear. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.960 Division that they're bringing up, the messages they're saying is 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:04.960 and it's very simple. 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:09.479 The twenty twenty eight primary has already begun. It's already begun. 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.760 This is a proxy war for people who are trying 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.240 to prop up people for the twenty twenty eight primary. 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.840 So I say, if that's what you're really doing, then 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:19.760 cut to the chase. 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.880 Be a man, tell us the truth, tell us what 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.720 you really want. All right, and let's do a little pole. 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.280 Why don't we do a little poll since we're here 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.640 and we've got so many people. Charlie loved to do 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.480 the ab testing, remember love do this when we had 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.440 a big crowd. So let's see who out there wants 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.000 Ted Cruz to be the nominee in twenty twenty eight. 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:48.560 All right, right right, how about Governor Ron DeSantis?

To be here 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:19.080 in Charlie's honor. 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.240 It means everything, to be here in Charlie's honor. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:22.080 Uh. 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:23.640 To see what it's turned into. 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.439 Uh, to see from being there in the very early 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.800 days with Charlie, seeing the vision everything and then seeing 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.520 all these amazing people. Let's give it up for Charlie 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:36.280 one more time. Come on, everybody, let's go. I do 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.400 have the honor of speaking tomorrow night, which I think 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.120 it's funny that you guys put me on Faith to 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.440 night to try to like calm me down on what 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.520 I might say on the stage. 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:47.040 That's Jesus night. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:48.480 Graham, You've gonna be, You've gotta be. 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:52.320 You've ever seen a Graham Allen rant, you can understand 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.120 why we played that the way we played it. 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.920 Yes, yes, So I'll take this opportunity just to say 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.280 I agree with see very much. 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.200 You know, just like we were talking about, the thing 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:03.160 about our movement is this. 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.720 I was talking with the Vice president not too long ago, 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:09.080 and the Vice president even said, the greatest thing about 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:12.400 our side that differentiates us from the left is. 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:14.640 We do have open dialogue. 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:18.400 We do have debate, and sometimes we fight, and sometimes 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:22.080 those fights are nasty. Sometimes those fights are there. But 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.480 at least, you know, we don't operate in this hive 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:28.040 mind mentality that somebody can call down from the top 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:29.480 and then everybody falls in live. 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:30.720 So here's what I'm gonna say. 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.560 These are conversations that need to be had, These are 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.520 fights that need to be had to the people that 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:41.320 do what we do, that are afraid and give these 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:45.360 blanket statements instead of calling out what they mean who 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:49.200 they're talking about why they disagree and with their evidence 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.040 for why they disagree about it. It's time to stand up, 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:55.080 be men and women, stand in the principles of which 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.920 you believe, and have the fight, have the dialogue in 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.160 open space, and then let the can people decide where 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.760 they stand, and then that's how we win. Charlie would 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.760 be the first person to say that these conversations need 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:11.000 to happen because he was mission first mentality, and the 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.960 mission is to make Heaven crowded. And how do we 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:18.400 make Keavin crowded? We keep America, the freest, most generous, 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.360 most prosperous nation in the world, free so we can 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.640 spread the good news of Jesus Christ every single day, 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:26.920 because that's the ultimate goal in this country. 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:28.520 And that's the mission that we have to fight. 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.080 All right, So for the well said Graham. For those 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.560 of you who may not know yet, Blake Nef is 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:37.120 a student of history. He's a student of political, philosophical, 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:41.160 religious history, European history. Don't get him started, Blake, when 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.000 you're talking about the history of coalitions. What are we 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:47.240 facing right now? Is this normal in at the top 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.720 levels of political coalition building. 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:53.760 It's happened, but it hasn't really happened with our party 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:54.720 in this way before. 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:56.640 And I think, I mean, we owe it to Charlie. 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.120 I always when I started working for him, I'd roll 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.000 my eyes. He'd say he was going to change the 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:01.920 youth vote, he was. 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:02.640 Going to win them back. 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:06.120 Okay, Charlie, that's a very great goal of yours. And 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.600 he made me look like a huge idiot. I remember 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.600 Spring twenty four were suddenly having campus events and there's 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.400 two thousand, three thousand, five thousand people showing up to them, 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:17.760 and they all love him. And I never thought I 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:21.040 would see that happen. And he proved that. I just 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:22.640 read a bunch of books, but I don't really know 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:23.840 what I'm talking about. 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.560 Well, he proved a lot of people wrong. I will 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.760 tell you he was told for twelve years. You guys 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.360 know the story of Charlie Kirk right, twelve years he 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.400 was building Turning Point and they told him it was 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.080 a fool's errand that he was just trying to grift 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.560 to win the youth vote. And the man never gave up. 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:41.640 He fought and he fought and he fought, and he 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.000 went right into the belly of the beast, right onto 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.600 those college campuses, and he would have the debates, he 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:50.080 would have the dialogues. He would do exactly what people 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:53.640 told him would never happen. He made the most historic 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.280 and dramatic coalitional difference in twenty twenty four. We won 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.760 the youth vote in Michigan, we won it in Arizona, 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.960 almost won it in Wisconsin, we almost won it in Pennsylvania. 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:05.760 And by the way, where he would visit, there was 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:09.000 a statistical change that you saw. He would go to 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.560 a college campus in Center County. Where's Cliff Maloney, He's 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:13.960 I just saw him in a second went to Center 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.040 County and they had never seen anything like that. At 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:20.000 Penn State, and ak Pasovic was there with him, they 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:23.480 saw something like a fourteen or fifteen point swing in 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.119 the youth vote just because he took He took the 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.720 time to believe in gen Z. And that's ultimately what 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:30.919 this event is about. Folks. We are not giving up 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.359 on the youngest Americans. We believe that their hearts and 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.720 minds can be won. They can buy in to the 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.439 American dream. That's right, give us give it up gen Z. 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.080 You should do not turn your back on gen Z. 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.280 Folks believe in them they can do it. They are 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.720 smarter than people give them credit for. Graham, I know 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:48.600 you know this, Blake, You now know this. 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.320 If you're tired of watching this country drift away from 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.840 the values that made it great, it's time to get involved. 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:58.680 That's why I stand with AMAC, the Association of Mature 0:17:58.680 --> 0:17:59.600 American Citizens. 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.080 Charley loved this country and he loved partnering with organizations 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.439 that truly stand for what makes America great.
