And there was a room, 518 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 4: what do you think maybe three hundred people at least barely. 519 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: I think it was. I think it was before he 520 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: even came to Arizona. I think he was still one 521 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: turning point, was still out. 522 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 4: Of Illinois, right, So I remember we just got introduced 523 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 4: to him with chatted briefly, and then he got on 524 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 4: stage and he was trying to pitch this idea that 525 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 4: he has this vision about creating a student organization and 526 00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 4: he's gonna get on campuses. He'll try to talk to 527 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 4: students and get them to become more conservative, because he 528 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 4: was saying that our colleges are becoming so liberal. And 529 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 4: it was I just keep going back thinking about that 530 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 4: moment and at first when you met him, because I mean, 531 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 4: he was such a young kid. I don't know if 532 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 4: he was twenty at the time. I mean, you just 533 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 4: see the s kid and you're like and then we 534 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 4: heard him on stage, and then I remember thinking to myself, like, 535 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 4: you know what, you'd have twenty three something like that. Yeah, 536 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 4: thinking to myself, you know, he's up to something, and 537 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 4: looking back. 538 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: So when you say that and this is this is 539 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:46,959 Speaker 1: pre Erica Charlie. 540 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 4: So I mean, you know it was the very early 541 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 4: Charlie and so but did you think when you say 542 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 4: you saw him and you thought about it, did you. 543 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: Think that he could do it? Or were you thinking like, 544 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: I'll never happen. 545 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 4: He was speaking with such conviction and he had this 546 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 4: charisma about him. He got me to believe in him. 547 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 4: At that moment. I really believed what he was saying 548 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 4: and there was this spark in him and his vision 549 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 4: seemed to be so clear, and he was going on 550 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 4: and on about him and I felt like every person 551 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 4: in the room at that moment believed that he could 552 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 4: do it. Fast forward it ten fifteen years later, and 553 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 4: here we are in sitting in Turning Point in Usay, 554 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 4: and I just keep going back to that moment that 555 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 4: when we first met him, and it just, yes, it 556 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 4: was so special. It was really special moments. 557 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 2: It couldn't have been eleven years. 558 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: Checking you in real time.

It was, and it feels like a 561 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: lifetime ago. 562 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 4: It really does. 563 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: Here's what we're gonna do.

Someone just took a nose dive onto 578 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: the chair. I think, see who's. 579 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 5: That this is? This is Roscoe, Lego Roscoe. He accompanies 580 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 5: me on my various adventures and trips when I'm away 581 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 5: from the children. So we're just gonna put Lego Roscoe 582 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 5: right here. He's rocking the Santa Claus hat. Every time 583 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 5: I go on an adventure, he gets into some sort 584 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 5: of trouble and I take pictures of his antics for 585 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 5: the children. It's something that every parent understands. 586 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: We've just done Amfest. It's Christmas time talk to me 587 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: about And you got to meet Charlie through when we 588 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: did On Humans and then later he did the blurb 589 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: for Bulletproof. I'll just say this, when we first introduced 590 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: you to Charlie, he was like, a who's this Guy's 591 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: you know this this ghostwriter guy et cetera. But man, 592 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: when you guys started going. I could really see that 593 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: he was very just very locked minds with you, because 594 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: Charlie could sense that intellect and you could see that, oh, 595 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: this is someone that I can have that intellectual repost with. 596 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: And I could I could see that he really really 597 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: enjoyed interviewing you. I could see that right away from 598 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: Charlie in a way that you know, there'd be times 599 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: where let's just say, let's just say at events where 600 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: Charlie could be a little a little distracted, pulled in 601 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: different directions. It is what it is. But I could 602 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: really tell that with you specifically, he was locked in. 603 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: He was. 604 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 5: Yes, he and I both have had evangelical apologetics background 605 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 5: where you studied the various ways to defend the faith, 606 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 5: let's say the Christian worldview. I had that background being homeschooled, 607 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 5: and he of course has that background from his own 608 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 5: his own training and what I appreciated about him. Unlike 609 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 5: in a lot of interviews that we've done that I've 610 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 5: done before, that Lego Roscoe has done, I'm sure in 611 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 5: his little plastic world, the interviewer will take for granted 612 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 5: what the interviewee says, like, Oh that's interesting. Next question, 613 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 5: and then they go on from there. But there are 614 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 5: several times in the first interview with Charlie where his 615 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 5: reply back was, in a kind way, I don't believe 616 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 5: you quite yet on that I need you to prove. 617 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 1: It to me. Yeah, was his He would challenge you, 618 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: he would challenge you. 619 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 5: Yes, which I appreciate. I've only ever gotten that once 620 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 5: before in an interview ever with with someone a gentleman 621 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 5: named James Altacher, who has one of the most popular 622 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 5: podcasts over the last what fifteen years now, And it's 623 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 5: just a and I've done hundreds upon hundreds of interviews 624 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,240 Speaker 5: at this point on books and publishing in our books 625 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 5: and whatnot, and it's just a rare response. But there's 626 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 5: one particular moment where the three of us shared here 627 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 5: in the first interview on the Unhumans book, in which 628 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,839 Speaker 5: we were talking about the overthrow of Russia by leftists 629 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:51,240 Speaker 5: and how there was effectively this Bolshevik movement of revolutionary, radical, 630 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 5: far left wing individuals in Russia and they had all 631 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 5: gathered in effectively one building, one place. They were all there, 632 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,240 Speaker 5: and the Russian Army, the White Russian Army under the Czar, 633 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,760 Speaker 5: effectively did nothing to stop it. They allowed the violence 634 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 5: to continue to build, and in the midst of this commentary, 635 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 5: Charlie cut us both off and he said, I feel 636 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 5: like something's about to pop, something's about to bounce. I 637 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,720 Speaker 5: can feel it. He said, do you remember that that moment? 638 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 5: And I had a record scratch moment of internal dialogue 639 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 5: in my head at that moment, and I thought, oh, 640 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 5: that feels really important. I need to remember that of 641 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,280 Speaker 5: him saying that, predicting that, And of course the book 642 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 5: predicts and explains that we are in a period of 643 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 5: revolutionary violence and upheaval within our culture, within our society 644 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 5: that's being run by radical left wing individuals who are 645 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 5: thoroughly anti Christian, thoroughly anti Christmas, thoroughly anti parenthood, anti 646 00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 5: the joy of simple moments that we all want to share, 647 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,399 Speaker 5: and they want to take that away, and they took 648 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 5: that away from Charlie's family for the rest of their lives. 649 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: Jack is a great guy. He's written that fantastic book 650 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 1: and everybody's talking about it. 651 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 4: Go get it. 652 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 2: Had he spent my friend right. 653 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 3: From the beginning of this whole year and. 654 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 2: Love event, and we're going to turn her around and 655 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 2: make our country. 656 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 1: Wait to get him, And you know, little did we 657 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: know that on the day the book was slated to 658 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:32,280 Speaker 1: come out, that Steve Bannon, who wrote the foreword, would 659 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: be hauled off to federal prison ten days after the 660 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: book came out a radical try to assassinate Donald Trump 661 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: and the year in change after the book came out, 662 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: that our friend would be assassinated. And you know, we 663 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: were right here in this room and I was sitting 664 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: just over there when I got interviewed by CNN and 665 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 1: they asked me, They said, are we a civil war? 666 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 1: And I said, well, we are facing asymmetric civil warfare. 667 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: My friend's in a box and that didn't happen by accident, 668 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: and is as horrible as it is, that's exactly what 669 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: we had said was coming. But let's shift off of that. 670 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 1: But are there any lighter moments, any lighter stories with 671 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: Charlie that you can remember? 672 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 5: There were several moments where it was as if you 673 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 5: were interviewing him during our conversations. Yeah, he was terrific 674 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 5: going off and he was in his element. And what 675 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 5: I appreciated about him both the interviews I think he 676 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 5: interviewed is maybe three times across the two books, and 677 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 5: there were. 678 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 1: Some remote interviews we did as well. 679 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,439 Speaker 5: Yes that's right on humans and also the Bulletproof Book, 680 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 5: and it seemed as though he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. 681 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 5: So often people who are podcasters, who are influencers with 682 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 5: capital I, they go through the motions, they kind of 683 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 5: they say, lock in to a mental zone of what 684 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 5: they're thinking about, what they're what they're focused on, what 685 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 5: they're working on, is like the next thing, and then 686 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 5: the next thing, and then the next thing. But he 687 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 5: was fully present and in the moment. One of my 688 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 5: favorite memories of his was I was at his one 689 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 5: of his fundraising presentations UH in which he was basically 690 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 5: pitching for donors UH for the turning Point, and it 691 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,240 Speaker 5: was incredible. 692 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 1: What were you doing there? You know what? Any money 693 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 1: I'll arrest that case later. 694 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 5: In any case, Charlie was like a tech CEO, venture 695 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 5: founder surrounded by venture capitalists who was absolutely in his 696 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 5: storytelling element, and he was going through a slide show 697 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 5: running through it and you could see people in the 698 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 5: in the audience. Given the let's say the percentage of 699 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 5: gray heads of all the heads in the room, this 700 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,879 Speaker 5: is this is the room for Charlie to be and 701 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 5: he was going through the successes of Turning Point, going 702 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 5: by the numbers, and he was saying, what the numbers mean. 703 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 5: And then there's one point, after going through the various numbers, 704 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 5: that we flipped this and we did this, and here's 705 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 5: what the campuses did and blah blah blah. He ran 706 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 5: through a bunch of headlines of hit pieces about him personally. 707 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 5: Look at what they've said about me. This is what 708 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,760 Speaker 5: they said about Turning Point. Look at this here going 709 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 5: through the various slurs and claims and insults. And he said, 710 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,359 Speaker 5: that's how you know we're doing the right thing. Can 711 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 5: I put you down for five thousand or ten thousand? 712 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 1: Was the fact that the way is he used to 713 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: send me those every single time it happened. He loved 714 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: the Media Matters hit pieces and daily write ups and 715 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 1: you know whoever it was, And I remember I used 716 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,360 Speaker 1: to buzz him. I said, Charlie, how much are you 717 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: paying to Media Matters to get them to be your 718 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 1: own personal PR department, because you know they'd write things 719 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:57,280 Speaker 1: up like Charlie Kirk claimed the DEI is racist against 720 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 1: white people, and it's like, yeah, it is. I mean, 721 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 1: it's just like something where we say it and we 722 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: look at it as a good thing, and they say 723 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,839 Speaker 1: it is so horrible and beyond the pale kind of 724 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: you know, kind of headline, or Charlie Kirk says that, 725 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,399 Speaker 1: you know, women shouldn't be in athletic competitions with men. 726 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: You know, it's just ridiculous things. And and yet people 727 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 1: are saying, Charlie Kirk, here it is here, he's fighting, here, 728 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 1: he's effective, and you're so right that that's exactly what 729 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: it was. But I do want to add something that 730 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,319 Speaker 1: I don't know I've ever told you before that do 731 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:34,319 Speaker 1: you remember that tweet when Unhumans made the New York 732 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 1: Times bestseller list that that he wrote and posted for us? 733 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 1: You remember that one came out that he was so 734 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 1: proud that we had made the list. And I remember 735 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,360 Speaker 1: him coming to me and saying, you made the list. 736 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 1: You actually did it, And he said, you know, and 737 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 1: I remember I remember he said this. You know you 738 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 1: didn't ask me, He goes, Jackie didn't ask me to 739 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 1: endorse it. You ask Turning Point to buy copies, which 740 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,239 Speaker 1: is true, by the way, despite what anyone tells you 741 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: out there. He said, you guys did that all on 742 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,360 Speaker 1: your own. You really did that on your I said, Charlie, 743 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: that was the test. That was the test to see 744 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: if we could do it and actually do it on 745 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: our own. He said, you really did it. He was 746 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: so proud. He was so happy, maybe a little steam 747 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:26,240 Speaker 1: that his own book that year didn't did in twenty twenty. 748 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 5: The MAGA doctrine has a mega doctrine, but. 749 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 1: Not not his twenty twenty four. So that was we 750 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: had a little little competition, you know, friendly alpha, you know, 751 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: a couple of guys having a competition. But he was 752 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,240 Speaker 1: he was so happy. I think he was so happy 753 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: to be get out there. And I don't know if 754 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 1: I've ever told you that, And I wanted to make 755 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: sure I did say that that that wasn't some form 756 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 1: tweet that he was really really happy about that. 757 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 5: He was that kind of guy. 758 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 1: He was sort of totally that kind of guy. 759 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 5: Celebrate other people's celebrations very much so. 760 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 1: And that's just celebrate excellent, celebrate greatness, celebrate achievement. 761 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 5: And that is that is right wing coded one hundred exactly, 762 00:41:59,320 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 5: is that we're. 763 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: Going to be competitive, and you know, my book is 764 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 1: going to sell more than yours, No yours, you know, 765 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,880 Speaker 1: like it's you're so competitive, but then when someone wins, 766 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: you shake hands and you're happy because at the same 767 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: time we're all on the same team at the end 768 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 1: of the day. 769 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,360 Speaker 5: Yes, team America and the and the the values that 770 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 5: undergirdis which have somehow become exclusively the domain of the right, heritage, tradition, law, order, kindness. 771 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,280 Speaker 5: As much as they like to say empathy and decency, 772 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 5: generally speaking, the left is empathy free and decency free, indeed, 773 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 5: and it is those of us who have this.
