1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: The big news is the Charlie Kirk funeral yesterday, and 2 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: obviously everybody's talking about it, and I got many parts 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: of this I want to discuss with you today because 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: I thought that was just there were many things to 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 1: me that were fascinating. Tony touched on this a little 6 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: bit in his show, and so I thought i'd expand 7 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: on it if you'll indulge me for a minute, because obviously, look, 8 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it was an incredible showing. There were satellite 9 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: you know, events all across the country, you know, one 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,919 Speaker 1: here in Central Indiana and Zionsville. It was very well 11 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: attended and obviously a huge outpouring of people. My question 12 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: with this is what does it actually mean and what 13 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: are we going to accomplish from it? Because one of 14 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: the things that we have has become abundantly clear, and 15 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: our audience is keen to this, is that there really 16 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: isn't that much difference between the establishment ruling arm of 17 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: the Republican Party and the Democrats. They both spend colossal 18 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: amounts of money. They've spent you into unaffordable levels of 19 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: inflation they have. They both just give away to special interests. 20 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: They just serve different special interests. And your life keeps 21 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: getting harder, and their donors and lobbyists and the people 22 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: who fund and we'll get into this more later on. 23 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: The program get rewarded. And so I keep hearing about 24 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: that there's this great awakening, there's this great motivation. All 25 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: of these people are now going to engage like never before. 26 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: They're going to come out like ever before. But if 27 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: you just keep allowing the same people to be in power, 28 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: which I haven't heard anyone say this is going to 29 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: motivate us. We're going to crush the leadership of the 30 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: Republican Party. Then we're going to motivate to what and that, 31 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: And that's what I'm looking for. We're going to motivate 32 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: to what I keep hearing. It's gonna be like never before. Well, 33 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: the Tea Party, the Tea Party movement of twenty ten 34 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: was really strong. I know I was there and I 35 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: heard that. Then, like we're taking the government back, We're 36 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: gonna this this this nothing nothing changed, the spending kept 37 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: getting where So, So what I'm interested in now is 38 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: this outpouring of emotion, this outpouring of sympathy, this outpouring 39 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: of enthusiasm. But for what, Because as long as the 40 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: same people, which I haven't heard one person say we're 41 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: going to crush the leadership of the Republican Party. You 42 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: can elect whoever you want, and as we've seen time 43 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: and again, just for electing rank and file people, nothing's 44 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: going to change. 45 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 2: No more than anything. And it united some of the 46 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 2: conservative factions, especially when you look at Tucker Carlson was there, 47 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: Tulsa Gabbert, Elon Musk, Dana White, all those different people 48 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: presenting different sides. So what you're saying is that America 49 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: does not have a two party system and has a 50 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 2: corporate party with two different marketing strategies. The difference is 51 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 2: going to be the social issues. They're presenting a more peaceful, 52 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 2: kind hearted religious front. 53 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: Well, and look, I think it's great. Obviously front and center. 54 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: The Lord was front and centered throughout all of this, 55 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: and Charlie Kirk's faith, and I think that's I think. 56 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 2: You'd rather have that than the opposite. 57 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: Well, of course, no, I'm not saying that in any shape, 58 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: form or fashion. But when I when I, it's sort 59 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: of like a cause without a description. Right, you wait, 60 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna see, but what am I going to see? 61 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: People are gonna like never before they're going to what 62 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: if the goal is we're going to fundamentally change the country, 63 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: then I have yet to see a blueprint to do that, 64 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: and so that's what I'm going to be interesting. Like 65 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: I said, Tony, very high level, not to the detail 66 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: that we're getting too sort of touched on this in 67 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: his program earlier, and so until they come up with that, 68 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: it's it's awesome to have enthusiasm, it's awesome to want revenge, 69 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: to want to get motivated. I've seen this happen before, 70 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: and it's really hard to keep people engaged. It's easy 71 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: to get people engaged, it's hard to keep people engaged. 72 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: And I saw this in like I said, twenty ten, 73 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: because that's really when I first started getting involved, for 74 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: lack of a better term, was those tea party events 75 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: in twenty ten. We were filling rooms, it was rallies, 76 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: it was I mean, it was unbelievable. And then I 77 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: ran in twenty eleven. A lot of those people were 78 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: still there, they were still engaged. It was easy to 79 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: get those people motivated, and then by like twenty twelve 80 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: you started seeing it taper off a little bit, and 81 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: by twenty thirteen or twenty fourteen, it was back to 82 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: the same people who are always hearing God bless those people. 83 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: They're wonderful, amazing people. But it was the same crowd. 84 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: So the question is going to be we're motivated to 85 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: what how are you going to make a difference? And 86 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: the bigger question becomes, how do you keep people involved? 87 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: Because lives, families, jobs, other hobbies, it all gets in 88 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: the way, right and after the six months from now, 89 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: a year from now, is the enthusiasm still as strong. Well. 90 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 2: I do believe that people need something to turn to, 91 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 2: and this is something they can turn to that will 92 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 2: help them, their families, their country. It's much better than 93 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 2: the opposite of what they could turn to. We know 94 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: that for sure. I think that going forward, that's going 95 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: to be the task that is going to be placed 96 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: on Erica Kirk's shoulders. How will she move this message forward? 97 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 2: And if you caught a couple of things last night 98 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: when she was speaking, I want to play some of 99 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 2: the audio from her because it was an amazing, amazing 100 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 2: speech and how she garnered the strength to do it, 101 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: I don't know. You could tell at the end of 102 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 2: it that she wanted to lean on somebody and she 103 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: chose Donald Trump, which was just amazing. But she said 104 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: a few things. She was talking about Caleb, We're going 105 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: to need seven and eight. Here she was talking about, 106 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: you know, Charlie Kirk's message was to men, and now 107 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: the Erica Kirk is going to be in charge of 108 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 2: turning point USA. I think that she is going to 109 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: turn the focus towards the young women on the college campuses. 110 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 2: And I say that because of a few things that 111 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: she said, and here's one of them. 112 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 3: Women, I have a challenge for you too, be virtuous. 113 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 3: Our strength is found in God's design for our role. 114 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 3: We are the guardians, we are the encouragers, we are 115 00:06:54,600 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 3: the preservers. Guard your heart. Everything you do flows from it. 116 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 3: And if you're a mother, please recognize that is the 117 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 3: single most important ministry you have. 118 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 2: I could see her being very powerful talking to women 119 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 2: and her conviction and her religion.
