1
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: The Charlie Kirk Show starts now.

2
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 2: Only hours ago, I returned from a very historic trip

3
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 2: to secure peace in the Middle East. People said that

4
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: couldn't be done. Charlie felt it could be done. Charlie

5
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: felt it could be done. But I raced back halfway

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 2: around at the Globe. I was gonna call Eric and say, Erica,

7
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: could you maybe move it to Friday?

8
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 3: And I didn't have the courage to call.

9
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: But you know why I didn't go because I heard

10
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: today was Charlie's birthday and I said, you know, now.

11
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 3: That was a definite.

12
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: But I would not have missed this moment for anything

13
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: in the world nothing.

14
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 4: I have spent seven and a half years trying to

15
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 4: find the perfect birthday gift for Charlie, and it's so difficult.

16
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 4: And those of you that have spouse as or loved ones,

17
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 4: you know how difficult it is sometimes to buy a

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 4: gift for someone that you love. Because he wasn't a

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 4: materialistic man, so that also do not hope.

20
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: But now I can.

21
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 4: Say with confidence, mister President, that you have given him

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 4: the best birthday gift.

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 5: He could ever have.

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: I was with him before I met Erica, and he

25
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 2: told me he was going to get married.

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 3: He said, you won't believe how beautiful she is. I said, well,

27
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 3: then now that I maybe he's right.

28
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: But then he also said, and you know what, she's

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: like the smartest person I know.

30
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 4: God began a mighty work through my husband, and I

31
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 4: intend to see it through. And the torches in our hands.

32
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: Now it's in mine, it's any lords, it's in all

33
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: of yours, it's in all this. You just would turning point.

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: You was saying, Erica, your love and courage have been

35
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: an inspiration to all of us, and we will always

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: be here for you, and we're always going to be

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: here for your gorgeous, beautiful children, and we'll never forget

38
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: what your family has sacrificed for our country.

39
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 4: To the turning point, USA chapters that are watching all

40
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 4: across America right now, you are the heartbeat of this

41
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 4: future and of this movement. Everything that Charlie built, You

42
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 4: guys are the legacy holders of that. You are living

43
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 4: proof that his mission did not die with him.

44
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: In his final moments, Charlie testified to the greatness of

45
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: America and did the glory of our Savior, with.

46
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 3: Whom he now rests in heaven.

47
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: And he is going to make heaven. I said, I'm

48
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: not sure I could make it, but he's going to

49
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: make it. He's there, he's looking down on us right now.

50
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 6: There is no.

51
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 4: Limit to what he would have sacrificed to defend freedom

52
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 4: for all.

53
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 3: And if the.

54
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 4: Moment had come, he probably would have run for president,

55
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 4: but not out of ambition. He would only have done

56
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 4: it if that was something that he believed that his

57
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 4: country needed.

58
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: From a servant's heart standpoint, he.

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: Was assassinated in the prime of his life for moldy,

60
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: speaking the truth, for living his faith and relentlessly fighting

61

Speaker 7: of the great debaters and communicators of his time. Despite

78
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:24,760

83
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 6: Every day is a battle for your mind, raging again,

84
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 6: information coming from every angle, but the will to the sief.

85
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,120

Speaker 9: us on the team. I know you were at the ceremony.

102
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 9: The presentation of the presidential Metal Freedom was beautiful. It

103
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 9: was a who's who of Washington politics, of American politics, leaders,

104
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 9: cabinet members, President Trump obviously, so I just want to

106
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 9: don't know this, but I know this that you and

107
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 9: Charlie communicated all the time, all the time, and I

108
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 9: was even on calls with you during the campaign. You

109
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 9: were so active in the campaign, putting together the macro

110
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 9: strategy and then on the state level. But you and

111
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 9: Charlie had a really deep relationship. And that's why I'm

112
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 9: so glad you could join us today because a lot

113
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 9: of people don't know that. So tell us about your

114
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 9: relationship with Charlie. What was that like, what was your

115
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 9: impression of him and what did he mean to what

116
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 9: happened in November twenty twenty four.

117
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, he meant everything that happened in twenty twenty four.

118
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 10: The way Charlie and I became close really was during

119
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 10: the twenty twenty four campaign where we'd had this meeting

120
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 10: where we presented to a few sort of key players

121
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 10: on the right that ran big organizations, Charlie's being one

122
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 10: of them. And this was kind of right at the

123
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 10: end of the primary, beginning of the general lesson April, right, Yes, exactly,

124
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 10: we presented. We kind of came in and we wanted

125
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 10: we did this kind of closed door, kind of secret meeting,

126
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 10: and we said, we want to show you our analysis

127
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 10: of the twenty twenty campaign and where things could have

128
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 10: been done better and what the outcomes were, and then

129
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 10: we want to walk you through what we're doing in

130
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 10: the twenty twenty four campaign and basically what our path

131
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 10: to victory is, not only on the strategic level, but

132
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 10: a tactical level. And Charlie had spent a lot of

133
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 10: time thinking about exactly that since twenty twenty and.

134
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: You know, obviously, you guys are part of it.

135
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 10: That Turning Point had started to make this pivot since

136
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 10: twenty twenty, particularly of becoming not only a campus organizing

137
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 10: organization in a media organization, but an actual grassroots organizing,

138
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 10: an activation organization. And between Charlie and Tyler and you

139
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 10: guys and everybody that spent a lot of time thinking

140
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 10: about this and they the takeaway was they were really excited.

141
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 10: They I think they thought it was not going to

142
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 10: be as good as it was, so we had this

143
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 10: total mind meld. They were immediately like, you know, this

144
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 10: is amazing all you know, full speed ahead, and sort

145
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 10: of a partnership with the campaign was born for you know,

146
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 10: there's just another opportunity.

147
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 9: There was a change in the rules, right there was.

148
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: There was a change.

149
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 10: So the Federal Election Commission ruled in the late spring,

150
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 10: thanks to a case brought by Mark Elias, which is ironic,

151
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 10: that third party organizations, which previously sort of couldn't engage

152
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 10: with the campaign at all, the federal campaign could engage

153
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 10: on canvassing, door to door activity, sort of traditional get

154
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 10: out the vote activity, and that is something that Turning

155
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 10: Point had been building for a period of time. With

156
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 10: it to chase the vote program and all these sorts

157
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 10: of things, and it was, you know, turning into a

158
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 10: big player in that space, and had been sort of

159
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 10: working towards that for the election cycle. So just because

160
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 10: of right place at the right time, Thank you, Mark Elias.

161
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 10: I'd never sent him my fruit basket. I promised him

162
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 10: on Twitter that we would basically become partners where the

163
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 10: groups that did this grassroots work out in the field

164
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 10: in the campaign would become partners under the new confines

165
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 10: of the law.

166
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: And we did that.

167
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 10: So then immediately we started, you know, talking all of

168
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 10: the time, not only about that, but you know, just

169
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 10: grew into one thing after another. Obviously, I'm just a

170
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 10: little bit older than Charlie was, but basically from the

171
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 10: same generation. We're millennials. He turned thirty two yesterday. I'm

172
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 10: thirty six, so very similar. We also have similar personal lives.

173
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 10: He's married with a wonderful wife and two children. I'm married,

174
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 10: have three children. We're both Christians, so just blossomed into

175
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 10: a personal friendship too.

176
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: We twenty twenty four.

177
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 10: Charlie and the organization was essential to what we did

178
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 10: all over the country, not only rallying the youth which

179
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 10: is what it's really known for younger voters, but just

180
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 10: rally voters in general, and just really getting into the

181
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 10: granular weeds of turning out voters and getting people to

182
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 10: go to the polls, getting people to return their mail ballots. Hence,

183
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 10: how you know, the Chase the Vote program was sort

184
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 10: of born. So we're worked on that very closely. But

185
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 10: you know, Charlie and I developed a personal friendship, And

186
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 10: I said, I wrote this online. I didn't know what

187
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 10: to say after news of the assassination, but I wrote online.

188
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 10: I mean, one of the things, the thing that I

189
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 10: admired about Charlie the most is he really inspired people

190
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 10: around him, I think, to be better, me included.

191
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: I never heard him use a swear word. I wish

192
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: that was true of me.

193
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 10: My parents are mortified to see me having, you know,

194
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 10: sworn on TV accidentally recently.

195
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: Never used a swear word.

196
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 10: And but he's a great father, great husband, And the

197
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 10: biggest thing is that, obviously his testimony for Jesus, we

198
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 10: should all meet the way Charlie was and put our

199
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 10: faith first. And two to advocate to our generation for

200
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 10: why it's great to get get married and have a family.

201
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 10: I always joke with my wife. We've been married eleven

202
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 10: years now, I don't know what we were doing before

203
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 10: we had kids. Everybody should have kids. It's the most

204
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 10: fulfilling thing in your life. And I know not everybody can,

205
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 10: or having fine found the right spouse, I would say,

206
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 10: ask God for that. But you know that sort of

207
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 10: transcends politics and everything else, but it also doesn't. The

208
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 10: family should be at the center of everything we do.

209
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 10: It's the center of our culture, centered around God. And

210
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 10: Charlie just understood that in a way. As the President

211
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 10: said yesterday, who his wise bond is year is? That's

212
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 10: so true in so many ways, and that's one of them.

213
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 11: The President he talked about Charlie's marriage a little bit

214
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 11: in his remarks yesterday, and he mentioned how he knew

215
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 11: Charlie actually before he even got married. And then he

216
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 11: talked about Charlie telling him he was going to get married.

217
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 12: So let's play that. Let's play clip two thirteen.

218
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 2: I was with him before I met Erica.

219
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 3: Hey, he told me who's going to get married?

220
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: He said, you won't believe how beautiful she is. I said, well,

221
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: then now that I mean he's right. But then he

222
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: also said and you know what, she's like, the smartest

223
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: person I know. See, they do go together on occasion,

224
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 2: not often, not often, but on occasion they go together.

225
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: But he was in love with you. He was deeply

226
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: in love with you. It's great Erica, your love and

227
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 2: courage have been an inspiration to all of us. And

228
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: we will always be here for you, and we're always

229
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 2: going to be here for your gorgeous, beautiful children. And

230
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: we'll never forget what your family has sacrificed for our country.

231
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: Man loved our country.

232
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I can just attest you know, I saw

233
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 9: I knew Charlie before Erica. I saw them when they

234
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 9: started dating, and their love was so I mean, passionate

235
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 9: and such an inspiration to so many people. I can

236
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 9: tell you the Turning Point. Staff was all, you know,

237
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 9: so obsessed with their marriage, and he inspired so many

238
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 9: people just in Turning Point to get married and start

239
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 9: having families. And you know you mentioned his faith. Let's

240
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 9: go up, throw up one sixty nine And this made

241
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 9: up a bunch of news yesterday. So the apparently this

242
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 9: is the first time a cross has been inscribed. I

243
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 9: haven't fact checked this, but this is what the Internet

244
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 9: tells me. But it has a cross on the on

245
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 9: the back with engraved along with Charles James Kirk with

246
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 9: the cross and his Christian faith just prominently placed there.

247
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 9: And I think that is the legacy. I mean, Charlie

248
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 9: worked so hard for this country because he believed that

249
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 9: this is a providential country, that God has his hand

250
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 9: on this country, and he's guiding world events to support

251
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 9: this country. And that left that gave him all the

252
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 9: faith in the world to just leave it all out

253
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 9: on the field. And I'm so glad that you saw

254
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 9: that because you are right a first hand witness to

255
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 9: history and what he did for this country. Thirty seconds

256
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 9: before our break. If you want to add to that.

257
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 10: James, yeah, I mean, I think Charlie just understood that

258
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 10: at least in our lives, you know, politics and how

259
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 10: we're living our lives ultimately as a reflection of our

260
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 10: faith or not, and that there's sort of an existential

261
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 10: fight between good and evil, and he engaged in that

262
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 10: battle on the side of good, and his outlet lows

263
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 10: through politics and by being a leader. Other people do

264
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 10: it different ways, but he understood the really big picture,

265
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 10: which is there's good and there is evil, and there

266
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 10: are people who are on the side of good and

267
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 10: we're on the side of good.

268
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 9: Man all I want to tell you really quickly, and

269
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 9: we're gonna have more with James Blairs just the second,

270
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 9: but I want to tell you about Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile.

271
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 9: I actually was just texting with Glenn last night and

272
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 9: he's like, Oh, I love just being a part of

273
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 9: the show, like anything you need. That's the kind of

274
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 9: people that run Patriot Mobile. They are absolutely involved. We're

275
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 9: talking about good and evil. They are on the side

276
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 9: of good. They are working on basic sanctity of life.

290
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 9: All right, welcome back for the stream we are here with,

291
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 9: So give me your James Blair. You're the White House

292
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 9: Deputy chief of staff, along with like Steven Miller. There's

293
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 9: a I don't know how many deputy chief of staff

294
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 9: they are up. Is an extremely big job. And obviously

295
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 9: Susie Wiles is the chief of staff. But so tell

296
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:18,359
Speaker 9: us how like your portfolio is. It's politics, it's policy.

297
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 10: Maybe just give us a brief so each of us,

298
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 10: I mean the ones you mentioned Steven and I. We

299
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 10: have different sort of portfolios that are complementary, obviously, but

300
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 10: the White House is actually a really large operation. Most

301
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 10: people don't really realize that. It's not just the West Wing,

302
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 10: but it's this building that we're in, and there's another

303
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 10: building next to it. I don't even know how many

304
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 10: total employees it has, but you know, fifteen hundred plus,

305
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 10: and it has components and everything in the federal government

306
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 10: sort of centralizes in the White House. And so we

307
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 10: have different portfolios that sort of kind of divvys up

308
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 10: the key offices and responsibilities, and then we all work

309
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 10: together at the senior level to sort of coordinate those.

310
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 10: So my big one are politics. Obviously, I ever see

311
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 10: the president's political operation run out of here of the

312
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 10: White House, and obviously work very closely. In my personal

313
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 10: time was sort of the guys outside the RNC, different

314
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 10: groups like that. I oversee our Legislative Affairs Office, which

315
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 10: is the president's lobbying arm on Capitol Hill and ultimately

316
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 10: is the kind of final shot caller for what the

317
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 10: administration's priorities.

318
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 9: Well, and that's a bigger job than probably any other

319
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 9: previous president because you know, obviously we have separate branches,

320
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 9: you know, executive, legislative, judicial, But when it comes to

321
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 9: President Trump, I mean he is the pied piper of

322
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 9: so as as President Trump goes, so goes the conservative movement,

323
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 9: which means James Blair is probably one of the most

324
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 9: important people in Washington. I mean genuinely, you can you

325
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 9: don't have to say that. I can say that because

326
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 9: you are. I mean, when Trump weighs in on an issue,

327
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 9: I mean that's when things get moving, because legislative branch

328
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 9: is you know, notoriously slow, bureaucratic, just slow off the line.

329
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 9: And then Trump comes in, which just means you've you've

330
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 9: been involved at some point, and we see movement, and

331
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 9: so I want to talk about those priorities. But first

332
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 9: I want to play this clip from President Trump yesterday

333
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 9: giving Charlie some praise. I don't want to get off

334
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 9: of this just yet. Play cut two two four. Please.

335
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 2: He was so wise beyond his years. You know, I

336
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: talked to him sometimes. I said, this guy is like

337
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 2: a young guy.

338
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 3: He was really a wise man.

339
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: From the time Charlie worked on my presidential campaign in

340
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, and he was there right from the beginning.

341
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 3: He liked me, I don't know, I have no idea.

342
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 3: Why what the hell was he thinking? He said, you're

343
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 3: gonna win, sir.

344
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 2: I said, you know, I'm running against seventeen senators and

345
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 2: a lot of tough people and governors. We have all

346
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: these people. And he said, no, you're going to win, sir.

347
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: He said, not going to be close. And he made

348
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: it happen. He helped make it happen. I'll tell you

349
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 2: that without him, who knows what would be Maybe you'd

350
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: have Kamala is standing here today. That would not be good.

351
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: I will tell you, Howve, you don't know who Kamala

352
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 2: is promised it would not be good.

353
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 3: Do you agree with that? Howard?

354
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 9: That that, of course is the President talking about Javier Malay,

355
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 9: who was in it was actually in town for a

356
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 9: bilateral meeting with the President, but stayed for the ceremony.

357
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 9: And actually you might have witnessed this down as well.

358
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 9: Charlie sent me pictures of him with Javier Malay and

359
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 9: they got to meet. I think it was at mar

360
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 9: A Lago during the transition period. Maybe you were there,

361
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 9: I don't know, James.

362
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 10: Dude, Yeah, yeah, I don't think I was there, but

363
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 10: I remember when it happened, although it's hard to remember.

364
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 10: I did spend a lot of evenings on the patio

365
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 10: mar A Lago throughout transition and even the early spring

366
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 10: when we were going back. Yeah, I mean, it was

367
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 10: great for him to be there. It's funny, you know,

368
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 10: just before this we were talking about what happens on

369
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 10: Capitol Hill. Right now, the President mentioned yesterday maybe the

370
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 10: shutdown would be done sooner if Charlie was still with us.

371
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: That's probably true.

372
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 10: I mean, Charlie would be calling me every day right now,

373
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 10: if you were here and say what can I do to.

374
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 9: Help the radio rejoin, I'm gonna stop.

375
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 13: We'll come back and pick this up in two seconds.

376
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 9: Player da Lake Nap. We're talking about the fact that

377
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 9: Trump President Trump plays a an outsized role on Capitol Hill.

378
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 9: There's just no doubt. I mean, the separate pretty equal branches.

379
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 9: But he plays an outside role, which means you play

380
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 9: an outside role, outsize role. One of the things Charlie

381
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 9: was really concerned about, Blake feel free to chime in here,

382
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 9: was keeping the coalition together and the legislative priorities. I mean,

383
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 9: he was big on the one big beautiful bill. You

384
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 9: guys got that through he he eventually became very convinced

385
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 9: of it. He wanted more cutting, but we educated the

386
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 9: audience on that how this wasn't a budget bill, right,

387
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 9: But he ended up really loving it because he believed

388
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 9: it was going to unleash economic prosperity, and it was

389
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 9: going to secure the border and give us give Ice

390
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 9: the resources it needed tom Home, and because you know,

391
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 9: thinking about it through Charlie's lens, where he was always

392
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 9: thinking about how do we keep the coalition together, how

393
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 9: do we keep the priorities right sized. You know, Charlie

394
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 9: would want to know what are the priorities moving forward

395
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 9: from your advantage point for twenty six twenty twenty eight

396
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 9: Floor Joys.

397
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.

398
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 10: First, I'll say Charlie and one of the reasons he

399
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 10: liked the bill and we all want a little more

400
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 10: of this or that, right, But one of the things

401
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 10: that I loved about Charlie is that he understands that

402
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 10: politics is a game of addition, not subtraction. And obviously

403
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 10: I have my views, you have your reviews, President has

404
00:21:54,840 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 10: his views, but this needs to be a party if

405
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 10: Republicans are really successful, it has to be a party

406
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 10: with space for people who disagree a little bit at

407
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 10: the margins. And that's what the process of negotiating is

408
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 10: all about. And he said, we talked about this as

409
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 10: soon as we got elected, and even throughout that process.

410
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 10: How do we get this new coalition that swept Trump

411
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 10: and Republicans into office to stick together? And the answer,

412
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 10: I think, first and foremost that we control is do

413
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 10: what we promise them.

414
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: Just start by doing the things.

415
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 10: We promised them on the campaign trail exactly govern likely

416
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 10: campaign that was.

417
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 9: Always one of Charlie's biggest pitches. He just loved that.

418
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 12: He would love to break it down.

419
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 11: You know, Trumble was the most one of the most

420
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 11: straightforward politicians of all time in terms of if he

421
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 11: promised this thing, he will almost certainly at least attempt

422
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 11: to do it.

423
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 12: You know, maybe at court.

424
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 11: Will get in the way, maybe some judge will discover

425
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 11: novel hidden meanings in the Constitution, but he will make

426
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 11: the serious attempt for it.

427
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 9: Yeah, and he would go ahead.

428
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 11: Well, so we talked a lot about how Charlie helped

429
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 11: with the election, but I thought maybe you could elaborate

430
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 11: on Charlie was he went down to Marrow Lago during

431
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 11: the transition. He didn't care for DC, but he would

432
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 11: come here often enough, try to get into the White

433
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 11: House when he could. I know, he was running around

434
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 11: this area, running around the West Wing. Could you maybe

435
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 11: elaborate on sort of the role he was able to

436
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,479
Speaker 11: play within the White House or just what his presence

437
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 11: was like here.

438
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he was an advisor on personnel.

439
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 10: I mean you mentioned he spent a lot of time

440
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 10: talking Darius, particularly that he knews very well or cared

441
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 10: deeply about talking to people and getting a feel for

442
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 10: who they were and whether or not they were aligned.

443
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 10: And he was really essential to that, helping make sure

444
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 10: that we got the right people into the right seats

445
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 10: on the bus, you know, as they sort of say

446
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 10: in business school.

447
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: And he had policy ideas. So that's the thing. Charlie

448
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: is not just a political guy.

449
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 10: I mean he had a well beyond his years, wide

450
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 10: ranging sort of philosophical view of the world of government

451
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 10: on what direction we need to go, what's right and wrong,

452
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 10: and how that helps our movement. And so we would

453
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 10: talk about that and he would just help us get

454
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 10: things done.

455
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: You ask what our priorities are. We want to make

456
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: We want to bring the American dream back. We want

457
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: to make people be able.

458
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 10: To once again propel themselves upward socioeconomically through their own labor.

459
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 10: We want to make life affordable. We want to make

460
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 10: healthcare affordable. We're focused on getting down the price of

461
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 10: prescription drugs. Charlie was all about that, and he totally

462
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 10: agreed because this is something people come into contact with constantly.

463
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 10: We want to make the ability to buy a home,

464
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 10: you know, something that is open to more people. Obviously,

465
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 10: we know what's going to happened the biggest problem we

466
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 10: took when Biden came to office is the Biden inflation.

467
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 10: In the last four years, right, price is skyrocketed and

468
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 10: we've had to turn that around.

469
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: That's a slow moving ship.

470
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 10: But you know what, all your inflation hasn't gone out.

471
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 10: That's trending in the right direction. And we want to

472
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 10: make the American dream accessible to people. It's very simple.

473
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 10: America should be the best country in the world to

474
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 10: live in, to get married, to work, to raise a family,

475
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 10: and to be safe in your neighborhood. Crime is something

476
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 10: we're talking a lot about. Charlie was all about that too.

477
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,479
Speaker 10: We must control violent crime in this country, proving right

478
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 10: now in Washington, Memphis, elsewhere we can. It's about having

479
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 10: the will to enforce the laws that are on the books,

480
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 10: and we cannot be beholden to violent criminals and liberal

481
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 10: politicians that want to be beholden to violent criminals, We're

482
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 10: not going to be anymore.

483
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 11: It's one of the things that Charlie and the President

484
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 11: both have really revealed over the past few years that

485
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 11: there was this artificially constrained realm of what is possible. Oh,

486
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 11: we can't stop crime, because you know, we can only

487
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 11: do this or that, and then you know, the President says, actually,

488
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 11: you know you can just stop crime, put people on

489
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 11: the streets and put criminals in prison.

490
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 9: Well, and one of the imprints. We're running out of

491
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 9: time with you, James. That could talk probably all all hour.

492
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 9: But Charlie believed in offense. He believed in a muscular,

493
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 9: creative offensive strategy, always moving forward. I know he shared

494
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 9: that and probably learned part of that from the President.

495
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 9: But I know that I keep saying, I feel like

496
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 9: I have like a Charlie GPT in my head. I

497
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 9: just kind of like we were talking about this, and

498
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 9: I believe that the people in this admin do as well,

499
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 9: and I think we all carry that spirit. I know

500
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 9: that you do as well, James, just because you work

501
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 9: so closely together for over the last year eighteen months.

502
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 9: So thank you for joining us. Hope to have you

503
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 9: on again soon.

504
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: Thank you.

505
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 9: All right, Thanks James, we'll be right back with the

506
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 9: Vice President.

507
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 8: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm

508
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 8: Terrence Bates. It's day fifteen of the government shut down,

509
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 8: and there is no end in sight. While Congressional Republicans

510
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 8: continue laying the blame at the feet of Senate Democrats.

511
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 8: They're also thanking President Trump for his leadership on this issue.

512
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 8: The President is specifically being lauded for clearing the path

513
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 8: for nearly one point three million active duty service members

514
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 8: getting paid today.

515
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 14: If it weren't for the bold leadership of President Trump

516
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 14: helping us to protect our military. Everyone needs to understand

517
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 14: that one point three million active duty service members would

518
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 14: be missing a paycheck. They'll get their check, thankfully, because

519
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 14: President Trump has shown strong leadership and under his direction,

520
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 14: the Department of War has now redirected unspent funds to

521
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 14: ensure that our troops are taken care of. And this

522
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 14: is while Democrats are playing political games.

523
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 8: Meantime, new figures released in a recent Justice Department court

524
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 8: filing claim the Trump administration has fired four one hundred

525
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 8: and eight federal employees since the shutdown began. The administration

526
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 8: claims the dismissals are directly linked to the government shut down,

527
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 8: as Senate Democrats continue to hold out on passing a

528
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 8: continuing resolution to get government agencies back up and running

529
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 8: while lawmakers negotiate continue government funding, a federal judge is

530
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 8: due to hear arguments and lawsuits from unions representing federal

531
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 8: workers today. Those unions argue the current shutdown doesn't justify

532
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 8: mass job cuts because many government workers are already furloughed

533
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 8: without pay. And in case you happened to miss it,

534
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 8: Emotional moments at the White House as President Trump honored

535
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 8: the late Charlie Kirk with the Medal of Freedom and

536
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 8: signed a proclamation to clearing October fourteenth, a National Day

537
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 8: of Remembrance for Kirk. Charlie Kirk would have been thirty

538
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 8: two years old on Tuesday. Charlie Kirk's widow, Erica, spoke

539
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 8: at Tuesday's Medal of Freedom ceremony for her husband at

540
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 8: the White House. The posthumous honor comes just weeks after

541
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 8: Kirk was assassinated. The Medal of Freedom is America's highest

542
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 8: civilian honor. That's a quick check off your headlines. I'm

543
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 8: Terrence Bates.

544
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk Show.

545
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 9: All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. I

546
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 9: am so excited about our next guest. And of course

547
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 9: I'm not even gonna I'm not gonna tease it out.

548
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 9: This is the Vice President of the United States, folks,

549
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 9: and I just want to start by saying this whole story,

550
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 9: this whole tragedy that we've been living through a nightmare. Really,

551
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 9: you and Usha have been just tremendous people. You know,

552
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 9: need to know we haven't asked for some of the

553
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 9: things that you guys have done for Erica, for us.

554
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 9: You've been out front, you've been offering, you've been your

555
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 9: team has been getting a hold of us, you've been calling,

556
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 9: and I think that speaks volumes about who you are,

557
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 9: the man you are, and your character, and I just

558
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 9: I really want the audience to know that of that

559
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 9: you're a human being, that you have like a big heart,

560
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 9: and you care about people, and as somebody that's been

561
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 9: a beneficiary of that in some of the darkest days

562
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 9: that any of us can imagine, I just want to

563
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 9: say thank you, mister Vice President.

564
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 12: I appreciate that.

565
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 6: It's good to see you guys, and obviously wish it

566
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 6: was under slightly different circumstances, but yesterday was quite a

567
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 6: celebration of the White House Charlie's thirty second birthday. Yeah,

568
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 6: I'm sure it's true for you guys too. It still

569
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 6: feels not real in some cases. I still occasionally will

570
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 6: pick up the phone and think to myself like I

571
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 6: wonder what Charlie thinks about this, or I wonder if

572
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 6: Charlie could help me with this. But but we're just

573
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 6: gonna keep on trucking on. Man, I appreciate you saying that.

574
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 6: I mean to you a little backstory about just sort

575
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 6: of this this dignified transfer where USh and I go

576
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 6: out and pick up Charlie's body, pick up Erica, pick

577
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 6: up some of you guys, and then take them back

578
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 6: to Arizona.

579
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 12: I mean, the background on.

580
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 6: That was I was sitting at the White House with

581
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 6: then communications director. He has since, you know, taking a

582
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 6: job in the private sector and making a lot of money.

583
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 6: I'm sure Taylor Budwicic, who was another dear friend to Charlie's,

584
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 6: and you know, Mikey was actually communicating with Taylor directly.

585
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 12: And so you know, this a little gruesome.

586
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 6: But right after Charlie gets shot, Mikey's like, you know,

587
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 6: we're at the hospital.

588
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,479
Speaker 12: Charlie's got a Paul. So I'm sure you guys were

589
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 12: getting the same messages.

590
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 9: There was Taylor a little bit.

591
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 6: There was this sort of point of like optimism where

592
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 6: it's like, oh my god, because you see the video,

593
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 6: you think there's no way Charlie's gonna make it, but

594
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 6: you say, oh, you know, could this be a miraculous thing?

595
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,479
Speaker 6: And then of course Marky Mikey was the one who

596
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 6: had to make a call to Taylor and to me.

597
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 6: I was actually in Steven Miller's office with Taylor, and

598
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 6: Mikey said, you know, Charlie didn't make it.

599
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 12: The doctors just called it.

600
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,959
Speaker 6: And that was obviously an incredibly hard moment. But then

601
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 6: I was sitting with Taylor and I was like, well,

602
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 6: you know what, what's what's you know, what do we

603
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 6: do now? And Taylor actually had the idea of we

604
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 6: should go out there, and I was like, that's an

605
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 6: incredible idea, Like I'd love to go out there see Erica,

606
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 6: but you also wonder, like, you know, the vice President

607
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 6: of the United States, the Secret Service detail of the

608
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 6: media doesn't become too much of a spectacle. So I

609
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 6: was like, reach out to Erica and like, let her

610
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 6: know I'm not pushing, but she wants me to come

611
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 6: out there. We'd love to be out there and be supportive.

612
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 6: And so he did that, and she of course was receptive.

613
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 6: And then I actually had the idea. I texted my

614
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 6: chief of staff. I was like, well, wait a second,

615
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 6: if we're going to be out there, you know, moving

616
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 6: a dead body from one place to another is not necessarily.

617
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 12: Like easy logistically.

618
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 6: We have a big airplane, and if we're going to

619
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 6: fly from from Utah to Phoenix anyway, we should offer.

620
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 6: And he was like, yeah, I'll offer. I remember, I'll

621
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 6: never forget my chief of staff saying I doubt they'll accept.

622
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 6: I'm sure they already have another plan, but we can offer,

623
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 6: and then of course, you know, you guys accepted, and

624
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 6: that led to that that day, which despite the grieving,

625
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 6: was very special to be able to be part of

626
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 6: that grieving process with the family and with all you guys.

627
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 6: So it was it was a you know, this whole

628
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 6: month has been so surreal for so many of us

629
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 6: in so many ways, but but that day really did

630
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 6: set the tone for us in a lot of ways.

631
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 12: I mean, one, it's it's.

632
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 15: Error.

633
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 6: So so Usha had met she had met Charlie before.

634
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 6: Actually the Claremont speech that I gave that Charlie was

635
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 6: really too I mean he I remember he texted me afterwards,

636
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 6: was like that that's your best speech I've ever given.

637
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 6: And you know, I kept on looking in the audience

638
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 6: and there's Charlie sitting next to Usha. They were like

639
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 6: in the front table, and that may have been the

640
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 6: first time that Usha had spent like more than five

641
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 6: or ten minutes with Charlie, and but I don't think

642
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 6: she had ever met Erica. But that of course was

643
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 6: the point at which Usha was able to be there

644
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 6: for Erica, and that that that cemented their bond, that

645
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 6: created their bond. So it was despite the sadness and

646
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 6: the tragedy, it was it was a special day in

647
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 6: a lot of ways, and I think set the tone

648
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 6: for the next month, which has been us morning Charlie.

649
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 6: Of course, thinking about Charlie, trying to keep Charlie's memory alive,

650
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 6: and all of that. I think really, really, at least

651
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 6: for us, started on that day.

652
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,479
Speaker 9: Well, you have done an amazing job and you've been

653
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 9: an incredible friend. I think you know, what I've realized

654
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 9: in this process is that it's not just me grieving,

655
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 9: It's not just Blake grieving or the team or Erica.

656
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 9: The whole nation is grieving. And so as you've come

657
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 9: alongside us, you've almost i think symbolically come alongside the

658
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 9: entire nation and knowing that your steady leadership and you're

659
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 9: carrying hand is alongside Erica and us and the whole

660
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 9: team has been I think a lift for the entire

661
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 9: nation January with them and the world really because Charlie's

662
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 9: message has we've seen, has spread across the entire world.

663
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 9: And you know, on that note of you coming alongside us,

664
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 9: we do have a little bit of news.

665
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 12: Big announcement, Yeah, big announcement.

666
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:52,719
Speaker 9: Do you want me or you no?

Speaker 9: you guys are gonna be an old miss together and

681
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 9: it's gonna be Erica's only appearance on the tour. I

682
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 9: mean we we really, you know, we thought about suggesting

683
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 9: to her to do more, and it's just she needs time.

684
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 9: She still needs time, she does, but she wanted to

685
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 9: make it a priority to be at this one. And

686
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 9: you're making it a priority to be at this one.

687
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 9: We're just gonna be like nine or ten thousand people

688
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 9: in the arena there, so it's it's a huge Please

689
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 9: tell us, uh, tell us your perspective on this.

690
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm excited about it.

691
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 6: And one of the things I said to you and others,

692
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 6: as you know, privately, is I was like, well, you know,

693
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 6: part of keeping Charlie's memory alive is keeping the mission alive.

694
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 6: And nobody can replace Charlie. But if we all sort

695
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 6: of take little pieces, we can do as much as

696
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 6: we can to ensure that Charlie's mission continues to survive

697
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 6: long after he's gone. And part of that is these

698
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 6: college campus tours, right, And I'm going to do exactly

699
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 6: what Charlie did. I'm gonna my plan is to you know,

700
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 6: give a little speech, talk a little bit about the

701
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 6: issues of the day, but turn most of it over

702
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 6: to just do Q and A with the audience. I

703
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 6: actually want to want I want to hear from these kids.

704
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 6: I want to answer questions from them. I want to

705
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 6: do what Charlie did, because I think that engagement is

706
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 6: something that.

707
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 12: Was such a big part of Charlie's legacy.

708
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 6: It's not just that he went and talked to people

709
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 6: or talked about issues that he cared about.

710
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 9: It's that he actually interacted with.

711
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 6: People and he answered questions sometimes is you know, he

712
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 6: answered tough questions. He would answer tough questions from the

713
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 6: left and from the right, And so I want to

714
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 6: do that too. And of course, having Erica there as

715
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 6: very special. I am glad that she's not doing all

716
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 6: of them because she's obviously got a lot to deal with.

717
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 6: She's grieving more than any of us are. She's taking

718
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,760
Speaker 6: care of two beautiful kids. But it'll be very special

719
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 6: to have her there. And you actually, it's interesting, I mean,

720
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 6: any of you who have known somebody who's grieving very

721
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 6: somebody that they love very much, know that it comes in.

722
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 12: Hills and valleys.

723
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 3: Right.

724
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 6: Some days, it's like the worst day imaginable. Some days

725
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 6: you actually feel like you're doing okay. And I you know,

726
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 6: Erica has been staying with his last few days of

727
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 6: the Naval Observatory actually, and you sort of see it

728
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 6: all right. There are days where you think she's doing

729
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 6: pretty well. There are days where you think she's doing terribly.

730
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 6: And that's just the process. And I hope that she

731
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 6: continues to kind of, yes, keep Charlie's mission alive, and yes,

732
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 6: you know, do everything that you guys are doing at

733
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 6: Turning Points USA. But I also hope that she continues

734
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 6: to grieve a little bit and to carve out some

735
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 6: time for her and her family.

736
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 12: You know, a buddy of mine, I.

737
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 6: Didn't mean to talk about this, but I'm gonna say it,

738
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 6: but a buddy of mine, this is what drives home

739
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 6: how angry I get at the people celebrating Charlie's death,

740
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 6: and how really one sided it is that you have

741
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 6: people actually celebrating the murder of a dear friend, of

742
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 6: a guy who was a leader to so many people.

743
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 6: But I was talking to another mutual friend. Actually, he

744
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 6: was the guy sitting to my left at dinner a

745
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 6: couple of nights ago at the Vice President's resident.

746
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 12: So I won't reveal who it.

747
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 6: Was publicly, but he told me that he had called

748
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 6: Erica about a week or so after Charlie died, and

749
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 6: he could hear Charlie's daughter say where's daddy like six

750
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 6: times during this very brief phone call. And I think

751
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 6: all of us have had these moments where, yes, we

752
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 6: love Charlie, and we loved his ideas, and we loved

753
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 6: what an important voice he was. You know, he's a

754
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 6: necessary part, it says the White House right behind you, guys, right,

755
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 6: we're right here at the White House Complex.

756
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 12: We wouldn't be here without Charlie.

757
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 6: But but most tragically, they took a very loving husband

758
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 6: away from a wife, and they took a very loving

759
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 6: father away from two kids. And that is, to me,

760
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 6: the great tragedy, this moment. We can't forget that.

761
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean what Erica said in her speech yesterday,

762
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 9: you know about the birthday wish for.

763
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 12: You know, the chat, that was the one point where

764
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 12: I lost it.

765
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 9: Ye, yah, I did too. And I think I looked

766
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 9: around and gosh, I mean people have seen some of

767
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 9: the images of who was in that crowd. I looked

768
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 9: around at the most powerful people in the country, which

769
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 9: means they're probably some of the most powerful people in

770
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 9: the world, and we all kind of just lost it.

771
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 9: And you know, it was a really powerful and moving

772
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 9: speech by Erica. I think, you know, Dana Perino, I

773
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 9: think we have the clip. We don't need to play it.

774
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 9: But Dana Prino from Fox said she's one of the

775
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 9: greatest orators of a generation, and I I think she's

776
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 9: given three speeches now, yeah, and each one is in

777
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 9: my top ten of speeches the whole way through Blake

778
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 9: at all.

779
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 12: They're all pretty different too.

780
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 9: They hit on different themes.

781
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 11: This was I think arguably the most personal one in

782
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 11: terms of talking about you know, talking about his birthday,

783
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 11: habits and stuff.

784
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 6: It was very philosophical, like the meaning of freedom, really dwelled.

785
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 11: On it, you know, and it's all her. You know,

786
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 11: I helped her prepare for it, but she every thing

787
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 11: that was in that speech was what she wanted to say,

788
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 11: how she said it, and just tremendous, how how well

789
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 11: delivered it was, how.

790
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 12: Well it communicated, and people what he.

791
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 11: Meant to her and also what what Charlie meant to America.

792
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 9: People want to know how Erica is doing and you've

793
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 9: touched on it because you've been she's been saying with

794
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 9: you at your guys is the Naval Observatory. But she's

795
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 9: she is so strong and clear eyed, Charlie. And when

796
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 9: President Trump was talking about that story about you're gonna

797
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 9: you're gonna love it Erica, mister president, she's so smart,

798
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 9: and she really is very smart, so human and caring.

799
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 9: But you touched on something else, mister Vice President, about

800
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 9: the this rise in sort of like the celebration, celebration

801
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 9: of Charlie's murder, assassination and this rise of left wing violence.

802
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,760
Speaker 9: And you said it on the show the monday after

803
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 9: he was assassinated. You hosted this show and you said,

804
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 9: we want unity, but we also want truth. Maybe just

805
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 9: really touch on that before we hit this first break.

806
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 9: And what you meant by that, Yeah, I.

807
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 6: Just meant that real unity comes from acknowledging the reality

808
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 6: of the situation that we're in.

809
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 9: Right.

810
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 12: Unity requires everybody being on.

811
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 6: The same page, having some commonality of values, and real

812
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 6: unity requires us to acknowledge the fact that while yes,

813
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 6: there are crazies on both sides, we have a country

814
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 6: of three hundred and thirty million people. You're going to

815
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 6: be able to find crazies on either side. Political violence

816
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 6: is just a statistical fact. It's a bigger problem on

817
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 6: the left. And if you had God forbid, somebody on

818
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 6: the left who was assassinated, yeah, I'm sure that you

819
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 6: could find one person who would maybe celebrated or one

820
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 6: person who would be offensive.

821
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 9: But the fact that.

822
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 12: It became mainstream to celebrate.

823
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 6: Charlie's death to talk about the fact that he may

824
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 6: be deserved to die because he had said hateful things

825
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 6: like you know, we don't want women playing or we

826
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 6: don't want men playing in women's sports. Just the effort

827
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 6: to try to like justify his murder, to lie about

828
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 6: things that he had said so to justify his killing,

829
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 6: it was just really disgusting and really disgraceful, and one

830
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 6: of the things that we just have to I want

831
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:03,439
Speaker 6: our country to be unified again.

832
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 12: I really do.

833
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm the Vice president of the United States.

834
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 6: I really do feel like I represent every single person,

835
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 6: even the people who say disgusting things. But if we're

836
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 6: going to have real unity in this country, we're all

837
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 6: going to have to acknowledge that killing people for what

838
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 6: they think and what they believe is wrong and right now,

839
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 6: that violent impulse is a bigger problem on the left

840
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 6: than the right.

841
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 9: Well, said mister Vice President. We're going to keep going

842
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 9: through the break. One second.

843
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 12: That I asked our daughter.

844
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 5: What she would like to say to Daddy for his birthday.

845
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 5: She said, happy birthday, Daddy. I want to give you

846
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 5: a stuffed animal. I want you to eat a cupcake

847
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 5: with ice cream, and I want you to go have

848
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 5: a birthday surprise.

849
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 9: Yeah. That seemed flag that clip that we had at

850
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 9: ready to go and and it's it really brings it

851
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 9: all home. And I know you had such a close

852
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 9: personal friendship with Charlie is and and I think it

853
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 9: ties into what you were just saying, mister Vice President,

854
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 9: that that we if we cannot get unanimity around the

855
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 9: fact that killing people for their ideas is horrendous and

856
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 9: awful and un American and bad and has no place here,

857
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 9: Like what are we even doing?

858
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's exactly right.

859
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 6: And the only way to get unanymy around that fact

860
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 6: is to acknowledge that we do have a problem. Like

861
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 6: you first sort of acknowledge the problem. That's you know,

862
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 6: a cliche. At this point, we have to acknowledge the

863
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 6: problem before you could actually solve it. And right now

864
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 6: you have a number of people who actually think words

865
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 6: are violence. And if words are violence, then one reasonable

866
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 6: response to people saying things you don't like is to

867
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 6: kill them. And we have to just completely reject that

868
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 6: in the United States of America.

869
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 12: It's one of the reasons why we wanted to get

870
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 12: out there.

871
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 6: To Old miss to go and do this, because I

872
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 6: think that engagement really matters. And it's not most people,

873
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 6: right this is the good news. It's not most people

874
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 6: who think that Charlie, meaning most people on the left

875
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,439
Speaker 6: who think that Charlie deserved to die because they said

876
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,919
Speaker 6: something that they had disagreed with or that they even

877
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 6: found offensive. But it is a large enough and powerful

878
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 6: enough minority. You know, it's pretty well funded. There's a

879
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 6: lot of resources behind it, there are a lot of

880
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 6: powerful media voices behind it, and it is I think

881
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 6: the most significant domestic problem we have in the United

882
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 6: States of America is this justification of violence, which then

883
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 6: of course leads to the real thing.

884
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, you talked about the funding networks. We had Secretary

885
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 9: of Scott Bessant on the show yesterday. Treasury is taking

886
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 9: a leading role in this. He said, He described Charlie's

887
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 9: assassination as a domestic nine to eleven of its own right,

888
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 9: And the Treasury really got involved after nine to eleven

889
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 9: to find these funding sources that led to al Qaeda

890
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 9: being able to pull off that that horrendous attack, And

891
00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 9: so they're using some of those same systems and authorizations

892
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 9: to go and root out the funding networks. Is there

893
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 9: maybe anything that maybe just philosophically, anything you want to

894
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 9: add to kind of what you maybe know what's going

895
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 9: on there.

896
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 6: Well, I wouldn't even say philosophically, just a matter of practice,

897
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 6: there is some muscle memory that we're trying to create

898
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 6: within the federal government. And I'll just be blunt with you,

899
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 6: there's this idea that exists, certainly not at the administration,

900
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 6: not at the leadership level of the political appointees, but

901
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 6: there is a group of federal law enforcement what you

902
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 6: might call the deep state, where they almost automatically assume

903
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 6: that left wing political violence is protected by the First

904
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 6: Amendment and right wing political violence is a crime. And

905
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 6: you sort of see just that the basic muscle memory,

906
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 6: the basic sort of apparatus of government is very very

907
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 6: primed at right wing political violence. But it's the instinct

908
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 6: is to almost say, well, no, no, that left wing political

909
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 6: violence that's actually protected by the First Amendments, and no

910
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 6: political violence wherever it comes from is just not protected

911
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 6: by the First Amendment.

912
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 12: And because we have such.

913
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 6: A big problem with left floing political violence violence, we

914
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 6: have to train the investigatory and law enforcement powers of

915
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 6: the government to focus on that particular problem. Now, I

916
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 6: think Scott maybe has the most important part of this,

917
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 6: because a lot of.

918
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 12: This is financial. Right.

919
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 6: If a brick gets thrown through a wall in a

920
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 6: government building, who bought the brick? If somebody shows up

921
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 6: and is a paid protester, but then that person goes

922
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 6: in riots and commits an act of violence, who paid

923
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 6: for it. If you have an application that's helping people

924
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 6: hunt down or even avoid.

925
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 12: Law enforcement officers.

926
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 6: If you're helping immigrants avoid law, illegal immigrants avoid ice enforcement,

927
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 6: but you're helping people actually target the law enforcement officers

928
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 6: who are trying to enforce our immigration laws. Well, who's

929
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 6: paying for the hosting there, who's paying for the programming.

930
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 6: There's an entire financial element of this, But we really

931
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 6: have to reterrain the entire government to focus on this

932
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:54,720
Speaker 6: left wing violence problem.

933
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 12: We're doing it. It's going to go a little bit

934
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 12: more slowly than we like, but we are doing it.

935
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 9: Radio, you hit your mark, though I did pretty good

936
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 9: BacT to the Charlie Kirk Show radio stations across the country.

937
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 9: We have, of course, Vice President of the United States

938
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,439
Speaker 9: of America, mister J. D Vance. You're making a little

939
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 9: bit of news here yesterday on x formerly known as Twitter,

940
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 9: about this Politico story. But I think it ties in

941
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 9: because we're talking about this the celebratory nature of some

942
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 9: not many, maybe not most, but some, and it was

943
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 9: disgusting about Charlie's assassination. There is a story, and I

944
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 9: believe it's the two stories are connected that came out

945
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 9: of Politico yesterday. Blake explain this for our audience for

946
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 9: those who don't know, we don't need to wallow in

947
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 9: it too much.

948
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 11: But so Politico has a story where somehow they got

949
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 11: their hands on something like twenty eight thousand messages in

950
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 11: some chat group chat of I think twelve people that

951
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 11: no He's ever heard of, but they decided to just

952
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 11: publish every single thing in this chat whatever they found

953
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 11: that they thought was the most salacious, and I think

954
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 11: ten years ago there would have been a very different

955
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 11: response to it. But people are starting to learn from this,

956
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 11: and the Vice President is one of the reasons why.

957
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 11: So you tweeted this. This is far worse than so.

958
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 11: What you did is instead of reacting to the story itself,

959
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 11: you just posted what Jay Jones, our friend in Virginia

960
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 11: who's running for ag as the Democrat, had said, where

961
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 11: he wanted his political opponents to die. And then when

962
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 11: someone thought he might be kidding, he called to you know,

963
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 11: make it clear. Actually it wasn't a joke. I was serious.

964
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,280
Speaker 11: That's how people change their mind. And you just pointed

965
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 11: out quote, this is far worse than anything said in

966
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 11: any college group chat. And the guy who said it

967
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,479
Speaker 11: could become the age of Virginia. I refuse to join

968
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 11: the pearl clutching when powerful people call for political violence.

969
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 11: And we have fourteen million views on that and.

970
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 9: Just a little viral mister Vice President.

971
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, look, I'll let the tweets speak for itself.

972
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 6: I'll say a couple of additional things. First of all,

973
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,720
Speaker 6: a person who is very politically powerful, who is about

974
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 6: to become one of the most powerful law enforcement officers

975
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 6: in the country. That person seriously, wishing for political violence

976
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 6: and political assassination is one thousand times worse than what

977
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 6: a bunch of young people, a bunch of kids say

978
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 6: in a group chat. However offensive it might be, that's

979
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 6: just reality. And if you allow yourself to be distracted

980
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 6: by this person's incredible endorsement, disgusting endorsement of political assassination

981
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,760
Speaker 6: by focusing on what kids are saying in a group chat,

982
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 6: grow up, I'm sorry. Focus on the real issues. Don't

983
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,359
Speaker 6: focus on what kids say in group chats. But there's

984
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 6: another angle to this that I just have to be

985
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 6: honest about. I mean, I'm like an old guy at

986
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 6: this one. I'm forty one years old, I have three kids.

987
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 6: You know, I grew up in a different world, right

988
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 6: where not most of the stupid things that I did

989
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 6: when I was a teenager and a young adult, they're

990
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 6: not on the internet. Like I'm going to tell my kids,

991
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 6: especially my boys, don't put things on the internet.

992
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 12: Like, be careful with what you post.

993
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 6: If you put something in a group chat, assume that

994
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 6: some scumbag is going to leak it in an effort

995
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 6: to try to cause you harm or cause your family harm.

996
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 6: But the reality is that kids do stupid things, especially

997
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 6: young boys. They tell edgy, offensive jokes, like that's what

998
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 6: kids do. And I really don't want us to grow

999
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,720
Speaker 6: up in a country where a kid telling a stupid joke,

1000
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 6: telling a very offensive, stupid joke, is caused.

1001
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 12: To ruin their lives.

1002
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 6: And at some point we're all going to have to

1003
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,720
Speaker 6: say enough of this, bs. We're not going to allow

1004
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 6: the worst moment and a twenty one year old's group

1005
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 6: chat to ruin a kid's life for the rest of time.

1006
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 6: That's just not okay. Like, we live in a digital world.

1007
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 6: This stuff is now ettin stone online. We're all going

1008
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 6: to have to say, you know what, no, no, no,

1009
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 6: we're not doing this. We're not canceling kids because they

1010
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 6: do something stupid in a group chat. And if I

1011
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 6: have to be the person who carries that message forward,

1012
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 6: I'm fine with. And by the way, if they were

1013
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 6: left wing kids telling stupid left wing jokes, I would

1014
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 6: also not want their lives to be ruined because they're

1015
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,959
Speaker 6: saying something stupid in a private group chat.

1016
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 9: Well, you and Charlie shared that. By the way, he

1017
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 9: became I mean because he had so many young people

1018
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 9: at turning point that we're working for him, that did

1019
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 9: stupid things from time to time, and he would refuse

1020
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 9: to start, you know, engaging in the pearl clutching. And

1021
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 9: especially in this moment where we've seen, you know, people

1022
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 9: celebrating Charlie's murder. Yes, and there's been zero outrage as

1023
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 9: far as I can tell from Politico or others about

1024
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 9: something so vile as that. I'm still so disgusted that

1025
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 9: this is like something that we've put up with as

1026
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,879
Speaker 9: a country. Mister Vice President, final minute to you, whatever

1027
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 9: you want to expound upon, say something interesting that's always

1028
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:45,240
Speaker 9: dangerous to a politician.

1029
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 6: A free microphone for a minute, but I guess one.

1030
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 6: I mean, look, I'm so proud of you guys. I

1031
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 6: think you're doing a great job. I know it's very

1032
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 6: hard a degree for a friend, but also to try

1033
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 6: to carry on an impossibly large legacy. I'm here to

1034
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 6: support you guys while you're doing it. I will just

1035
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 6: say that for all of the negativity and the hate

1036
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 6: and the people celebrating Charlie's assassination, for every one negative moment,

1037
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 6: I've had a thousand positive moments. In the past month.

1038
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 6: I've had people who've come up to me who said

1039
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 6: I went back to church because Charlie got shot. I've

1040
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 6: had people come up and say that they listened to

1041
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 6: his clips for the first time, didn't even know who

1042
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 6: he was, especially like older people who didn't know who

1043
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 6: he was before he was killed, but now they're consuming

1044
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 6: his video content and learning from it getting back to

1045
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 6: their faith. I just remember there's a lot of love

1046
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 6: out there, and we should remember that for all of

1047
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 6: the hate out there, there's ten times as much love.

1048
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 6: I think that has to be our charge as we

1049
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 6: move forward and carry on Charlie's legacy.

1050
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:45,760
Speaker 9: Well said, We'll be right back.

1051
00:51:48,600 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 16: Got it.

1052
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 8: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm

1053
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 8: Terrence Bates. It's October fifteenth, which means another tax deadline

1054
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 8: is upon us. If you filed for an extension with

1055
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 8: the IRS, today is your final day to actually file

1056
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 8: your taxes. If you don't, well, unfortunately, you'll be on

1057
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 8: the IRS's radar and no one wants that. But that's

1058
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 8: also where Tax Network USA can help. Cameron Kinsey joins

1059
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 8: me now with the details. Kareron always good.

1060
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 3: To see you.

1061
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 17: It's great to see you too, Terrence, Thanks so much

1062
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 17: for having me.

1063
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 8: Absolutely so at this point, with this final deadline, if

1064
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 8: you will upon us, what is it the Tax Network

1065
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 8: USA can do for people who might not have filed

1066
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 8: their taxes yet or who are still in a bit

1067
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 8: of a quandary as it relates to their taxes.

1068
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 17: That's a great question. Tax Network USA is one of

1069
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 17: America's leading tax firms. We specialize in helping individuals and

1070
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 17: businesses really just own and take on the IRS and

1071
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 17: whether that's audits, back taxes, wage garnishments, unfiled returns. Really,

1072
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:11,760
Speaker 17: our team is just made up of licensed CPAs, enrolled agents,

1073
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 17: experience tax attorneys who just know how the IRS operates

1074
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 17: and they know how to push back effectively. And you know,

1075
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 17: the truth is terrence the IRS. You know, they don't

1076
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 17: really care who's in charge politically. They stay aggressive and

1077
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 17: so our job is just to protect hardworking Americans like

1078
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 17: the ones who are watching this show today from getting

1079
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 17: crushed from bloated government and weaponized enforcement that we've seen

1080
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 17: in the past.

1081
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 8: In your experience, people who wait until the October fifteenth

1082
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 8: deadline to file, is it that they're kind of trying

1083
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 8: to push this thing as far out as possible, stretch

1084
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 8: this thing as far out as possible, for one, because

1085
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 8: their tax situation may be a bit more complicated, but

1086
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 8: secondly just because they don't want to have to deal

1087
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 8: with the IRS, and so they're trying to prolong the

1088
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 8: process as long as possible.

1089
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 17: I would say that Terrence, A lot of the times

1090
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 17: we'll see people shuting these letters from the IRS and

1091
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 17: a drawer somewhere, hoping that this problem goes away, when

1092
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 17: in reality, actually that problem may it worse over time.

1093
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 17: And so that's why it's really important to have a

1094
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 17: professional team like Tax Network USA in your corner. We

1095
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 17: basically act as a liaison between you and the IRS,

1096
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 17: so you're not having to deal with them on a

1097
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 17: day to day basis, and to get started with us

1098
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 17: is very quick and easy and seamless. We know how

1099
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 17: emotionally tolling this process is and how financially tolling it

1100
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 17: is to some, and we don't want to add on

1101
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 17: to that burden. So basically, when you get started with us,

1102
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 17: it is a free initial consultation. You can fill out

1103
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 17: a form online, you can call us directly and talk

1104
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 17: to one of our team members, but we basically just

1105
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 17: go over your case.

1106
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 18: We see what you're dealing with.

1107
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 17: But the important notice to get ahead of it, because

1108
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 17: a lot of people do ignore this problem and that's

1109
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 17: really how penalties stack up later on.

1110
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 8: So you're telling me that people can get a free consultation.

1111
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 8: It's not going to cost the main thing at least

1112
00:54:58,080 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 8: to get the lay of the land and to see

1113
00:54:59,480 --> 00:54:59,879
Speaker 8: where they.

1114
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 18: St Yes, exactly.

1115
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:05,720
Speaker 17: You know, too many companies will charge these hefty upfront fees.

1116
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 17: They'll give you cookie cutter advice and then really later

1117
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 17: on they'll vanish when things get tough. But we're really

1118
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 17: not that firm. We've helped eliminate over a billion dollars

1119
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 17: in back taxes and tax step for our clients because

1120
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:22,359
Speaker 17: we approach every single case personally and strategically as well,

1121
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 17: and we're not just another service provider. We share the

1122
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 17: same exact values of the people who are watching this

1123
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 17: show today. We want limited government, we want less bureaucratic

1124
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 17: nonsense that we've seen in the past, specifically under the

1125
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 17: Biden administration, and we're protecting people from these weaponized institutions.

1126
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 17: And so that's really the lens that we approach every

1127
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 17: single case with Terrence, and so we're on your side.

1128
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 17: We're not on THEIRS, and so our goal is just

1129
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 17: not only to solve the problem for you, but really

1130
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 17: just get your life back on track, because we know

1131
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 17: how stressful this is.

1132
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 8: You know, the words IRS audit are probably two of

1133
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 8: the most feared words in the American dictionary and in

1134
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 8: the American language. But you guys literally are with people

1135
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 8: from the very beginning to the very end.

1136
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: It's my understanding.

1137
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 8: Whenever you start the process, you guys are going to

1138
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 8: be there and see it through.

1139
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 17: Yes, exactly. We take the entire audit off your plate.

1140
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 17: Our team goes through every single return. They go through

1141
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 17: every single document with a fine tooth comb, and if

1142
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 17: the IRS did something wrong, which they often do in

1143
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,280
Speaker 17: this process, we challenge it. We file appeals when needed,

1144
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 17: so you're not having to go up against them alone.

1145
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 17: And so we do this every single day, Terrence, and

1146
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 17: we know how to keep the overreach in check and

1147
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 17: protect you if you've been unfairly targeted or penalized.

1148
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 8: All right, Cameron Kinsey, always good to talk to you, folks.

Speaker 8: We appreciate you being here with us.

1155
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 11: Hello, Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. We're broadcasting

1156
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 11: here from the Eisenhower Building next to the White House,

1157
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 11: and they call it though it's the EEO B whatever

1158
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 11: their formal technical Anyway, we're joined by Carolyn Levitt, the

1159
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 11: White House Press Secretary here, and we were talking just

1160
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 11: during the break about during Trump's remarks where he was saying,

1161
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 11: you know, he was doing the Middle East peace deal,

1162
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 11: a very very big deal.

1163
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 9: But he was thinking, maybe should we push this to Friday?

1164
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 9: But we can't.

1165
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 11: You know, it's Charlie's birthday. So I believe that's a

1166
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 11: clip too, too too.

1167
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 9: Oh.

1168
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 2: I returned from a very historic trip to secure peace

1169
00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 2: in the Middle East. People said that couldn't be done.

1170
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 2: Charlie felt it could be done. Charlie felt it could

1171
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 2: be done. But I raced back halfway around at the lobe.

1172
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 2: I was gonna call Eric and say, Erica, could you

1173
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 2: maybe move it to Friday? And I didn't have the

1174
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,439
Speaker 2: courage to call. But you know why I didn't call

1175
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 2: because I heard today was Charlie's birthday, and I said,

1176
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 2: you know, now, that was a definite. But I would

1177
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 2: not have missed this moment for anything in the world nothing.

1178
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 2: He was assassinated in the prime of his life for

1179
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 2: boldly speaking the truth, for living his faith and relentlessly

1180
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 2: fighting for a better and stronger America. Loved this country

1181
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 2: and that's why this afternoon, it's my privilege to posthumously

1182
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 2: award Charles James Kirk our nation's highest civilian honor, the

1183
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 2: Presidential Medal of Freedom.

1184
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 9: Well, I'm going to We're thrown it to you in

1185
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 9: just a second. But I knew that this was happening,

1186
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 9: and he was all. I got all these calls from

1187
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 9: reporters like is it going to get moved? Is you know?

1188
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 9: Can he make it back? And I made a phone

1189
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 9: call and they're like, no, he will not miss this.

1190
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 9: Maybe you could tell us more about that.

1191
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,920
Speaker 19: Yeah, Well it was all of our first instinct as well,

1192
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 19: when we knew that the deal was going to be signed,

1193
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 19: and Jared Kushner and Steve Woodkoff called the President from

1194
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 19: the Middle East and said, sir, now now or never, right,

1195
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 19: you got to get out here. We need to sign

1196
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 19: this deal. We need to get these hostages out. We

1197
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 19: need this momentum, and it's crucially important literally for peace

1198
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 19: in the Middle East. And all of us here thought,

1199
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 19: oh my gosh, we have the ceremony for Charlie on Tuesday.

1200
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 19: I hope we don't have to delay it. And the

1201
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 19: President said it was a non negotiable for him, and

1202
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 19: I think that really speaks to how much he loved

1203
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 19: and respected Charlie. There are very few people in this

1204
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 19: world that the President would really cut a trip short

1205
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 19: because there was much more we could have done. I mean,

1206
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 19: we left the White House at five pm on Sunday evening.

1207
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 19: We flew all the way to the Middle East. We

1208
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 19: landed in Israel nine am local time, so it was

1209
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 19: the middle of the night Eastern time.

1210
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 18: We went to Israel.

1211
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 19: The President gave that amazing speech in Jerusalem, and he

1212
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 19: met with Prime Minister Netanyah, who met with hostage families.

1213
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 19: We get back on the plane, fly an hour to Egypt,

1214
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 19: go to Egypt and meet with world leaders from all

1215
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 19: over the planet and signed the Arab Peace Agreement and

1216
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 19: really began phase two of this peace process. And then

1217
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 19: we got right back on the plane and came home

1218
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 19: and so we were gone for I think it was

1219
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 19: thirty six total hours. When I got home at three

1220
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 19: point thirty in the morning, my husband said, I can't

1221
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 19: believe you just went all the way to Africa and

1222
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 19: back and like one day. But we did it for Charlie,

1223
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 19: and I'm so glad we did. And I know the

1224
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 19: President is glad because yesterday was such a beautiful ceremony

1225
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 19: and the way that the sun broke through the clouds

1226
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 19: and just kind of was over the Rose Garden, it

1227
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 19: was so peaceful, so beautiful, and so we're so glad

1228
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 19: we were able to make it back.

1229
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 9: Yeah. You could tell everybody in attendance, by the way,

1230
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 9: was looking up at the sky. Yeah, because if you've

1231
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 9: been in DC the last days, it hasn't felt like that.

1232
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 9: And all of a sudden, right before we start the ceremony,

1233
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 9: the sun breaks through the clouds and it was almost like,

1234
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 9: you know, God was smiling down on us. And even

1235
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 9: President Trump he looks up to the sky. I saw

1236
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 9: him just stare for a while during his speech, and

1237
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 9: I think for a lot of us it was just

1238
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 9: it was a bittersweet moment. We all didn't want to

1239
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 9: be there for that but the fact that President Trump

1240
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 9: literally moved world events to honor Charlie on his thirty

1241
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 9: second birthday is something I will never forget. I know

1242
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 9: Erica will never forget that. We will always be eternally grateful.

1243
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 9: And to your point, it just shows how close Charlie

1244
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 9: was with the President and vice versa, and really with

1245
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 9: all of you in the admin. I'm just guessing that

1246
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 9: nobody fought the President on this because you guys all

1247
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 9: share your own personal relationship with Charlie and you are

1248
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 9: one of those people you actually were involved with turning

1249
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 9: point at the college level. People don't know this, but

1250
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 9: maybe maybe just tell the audience at because I don't.

1251
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 9: I'm not sure how widely known that.

1252
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 19: Yeah, I was, so, I mean, I'm a gen z

1253
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 19: Maga conservative, right, So I grew up in the age

1254
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 19: of President Trump and in the age of Charlie Kirk,

1255
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 19: and so he was really one of the first people

1256
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 19: that got me into politics and into the conservative movement

1257
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 19: and just watching him and hearing his speeches throughout the

1258
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 19: country and when he was young at the time, you know,

1259
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 19: I mean still young. I'm still young too, but he

1260
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 19: really helped I think kind of grow helped me grow

1261
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 19: in my political philosophies, and so I inquired about a

1262
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 19: Turning Point USA chapter on my college campus, Saint Anselm

1263
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 19: College up in Manchester, which is really a political hub

1264
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 19: for politics because of the New Hampshire primary every four years,

1265
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 19: and so that really catapulted me into my political career.

1266
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 19: And then, of course, when I ran for Congress in

1267
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 19: the twenty twenty two midterms, Charlie and Turning Point Action,

1268
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 19: you guys were the very first political action committee to

1269
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 19: endorse me and unafraid to do it. I flew out

1270
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 19: to Arizona, I met with Tyler, I met with Charlie,

1271
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 19: and you guys were on board. And when the mega

1272
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 19: establishment super PACs in DC were pummeling money into my

1273
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:09,439
Speaker 19: opponent's bank accounts, you guys always doubled down and came

1274
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 19: through and we won that primary, and in large part

1275
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 19: it was because of Charlie and Turning Points support.

1276
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 9: Yeah. Well, and we haven't taken our eye off of

1277
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 9: New Hampshire at all. So if this doesn't work out

1278
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 9: for you at the White House, Caroline, we might be

1279
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 9: drafting some candidates up there. But yeah, I mean you

1280
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 9: talked about you put an inquiry in and that's been

1281
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 9: a big news story after nine ten of just the

1282
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 9: this explosive growth that we've seen at Turning Point USA.

1283
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 9: So Play put up a graphic one to eighty two.

1284
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 9: Actually this was from Fox News. They did this for us.

1285
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 9: This is a graphic that shows we've had three hundred

1286
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 9: and fifty thousand new student registrations, so these are network

1287
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 9: is now over eight hundred thousand students across the country

1288
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 9: involved in one way, shape or form, and over one

1289
01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 9: hundred and thirty thousand inquiries for new college high schoo

1290
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 9: chapters on campuses. And we've already doubled the number of

1291
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 9: RSOs SO registered student organizations, which I don't know if

1292
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:10,439
Speaker 9: people can fully appreciate that, but it takes a while

1293
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 9: to form a chapter because you've got to get a

1294
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 9: faculty advisor to sort of put their weight behind it

1295
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 9: and bless it, and then you have to go through

1296
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 9: certain steps get approvals, and you have to form your club,

1297
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 9: you have to have a certain number of people, so

1298
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 9: it's an involved process. So we've already doubled that, which

1299
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 9: is such a testament to Charlie, and we will not

1300
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 9: rest until we have a club America, which is the

1301
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 9: high school brand in every single high school in America,

1302
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 9: because that's what Charlie wants. I know that because he

1303
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 9: told us just a few weeks before it happened. But

1304
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 9: now we have that momentum, we can really get it done.

1305
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 9: Maybe talk about from your vantage point outside of our

1306
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 9: bubble that we're in here, of what you've seen in

1307
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 9: this city, of the people that knew Charlie, this rise,

1308
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 9: this flush of enthusiasm and patriotism and faith that you've

1309
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 9: seen from where you you're at.

1310
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 19: I think the numbers you just showed and everything that

1311
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 19: you just spoke to really shows how good our God

1312
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 19: is and how he does use everything for good, even

1313
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 19: the most traumatic and heartbreaking circumstances. And look at how

1314
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 19: many people have been inspired by Charlie's legacy.

1315
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 18: And I think, you.

1316
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 19: Know the videos that have been circulating of him now

1317
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 19: and all of the speeches that he gave. People that

1318
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 19: maybe didn't listen to him when he was here on

1319
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 19: earth are now listening to him despite him being in

1320
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 19: heaven and realizing the impact that he made on our

1321
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:34,959
Speaker 19: country and just the truth that he spoke. And I've

1322
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 19: heard from you know, friends of mine who are apolitical.

1323
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 19: They follow politics because I'm in this job now and

1324
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 19: they like President Trump, but they're not political people by nature.

1325
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:47,640
Speaker 19: But so many of them have reached out to me

1326
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 19: and said, I'm going back and I'm watching Charlie's podcast

1327
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 19: and I'm looking at his clips and they're coming up

1328
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 19: on my feed, and you know, he's really still to

1329
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 19: this very second as we sit here, changing the way

1330
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 19: that people think and the values they hold. And so

1331
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 19: you guys, at turning point, just I encourage you and

1332
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 19: I know that you will continue fighting on in how

1333
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 19: encouraging it is that so many young people are saying,

1334
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 19: I want to.

1335
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 18: Be part of this despite the political.

1336
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 19: Violence we're continuing to face in our country, despite the

1337
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 19: fear and just the violence and the hatred that unfortunately

1338
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 19: comes from the left. You know, people want to join

1339
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 19: this movement and they want to be on the side

1340
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 19: of truth and of righteousness and of good policy.

1341
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:28,919
Speaker 18: And it's great to see.

1342
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 9: There's great trends we're seeing go ahead and really quickly

1343
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 9: cut to thirty please a.

1344
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 20: Christian revival across the country. Bible sales increasing over forty

1345
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 20: percent since twenty twenty two, religion app downloads surging nearly

1346
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 20: eighty percent, that increased since twenty nineteen, and Christian music

1347
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 20: Spotify streams up fifty percent from twenty nineteen.

1348
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,439
Speaker 9: All very encouraging trends, and I think when they run

1349
01:06:57,480 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 9: that back after a little while, they're going to see

1350
01:06:59,880 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 9: the Charlie effect take those numbers even higher. And so

1351
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 9: let me just tell you about something that's related to

1352
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 9: the Alan Jackson Podcast. We're honored to be partnering with

1353
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 9: Alan Jackson Ministries and today I want to point you

1354
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 9: to their podcast. It's called Culture and Christianity, the Alan

1355
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 9: Jackson Podcast. That's where they take real life issues, they

1356
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 9: apply biblical perspectives and quote scripture. They bring in experts

1357
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 9: and guests and they address them head on. So gender confusion, abortion, immigration,

1358
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 9: doge Trump, the White House issues in the church. They

1359
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 9: don't skirt around any of it, they go right after it.

1360
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 9: So again, that's the Culture in Christianity podcast from Alan

1361
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 9: Jackson Ministries. You can find out more about Pastor Allen

1362
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:38,800
Speaker 9: and the ministry at Alan Jackson dot com, Ford slash Charlie.

1363
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 9: That's Alan Jackson dot com Forward slash Charlie. We're gonna

1364
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 9: keep going with Carolyne Leavitt, White House Press Secretary, don't

1365
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 9: go anywhere.

1366
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 11: I really want to hit this because I think it's

1367
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 11: another great way that you guys have honored Charlie and

1368
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 11: also executed on our policy priorities. So yesterday, right around

1369
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 11: the time of the ceremony, the State Department tweeted out

1370
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 11: the United States has no obligation to host foreigners who

1371
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 11: wish death on Americans. The State Department continues to identify

1372
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 11: visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk.

1373
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,759
Speaker 11: Here are just a few examples of aliens no longer

1374
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 11: welcome in the US. Let's read a few of these.

1375
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 11: Let's throw up one ninety nine where they had a

1376
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 11: Brazilian national charge that Charlie was the reason for a

1377
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:48,600
Speaker 11: Nazi rally where they marched in homage to him, and

1378
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:55,559
Speaker 11: that Kirk quote died too late. Visa revoked. An Argentine

1379
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 11: national said that Kirk devoted his entire life to spreading racist,

1380
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 11: xenophobic and misogynistic rhetoric and deserved to burn in hell.

1381
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 11: Visa revoked. And they had like five of these and

1382
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:09,599
Speaker 11: they were very good. They're great, and you know, it's

1383
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 11: really we've talked about we, Charlie believed a lot in

1384
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 11: free speech. We believe a lot in free speech, but

1385
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 11: also we have to build this norm against assassination culture

1386
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 11: that political assassinations are not acceptable, and also we have

1387
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 11: the ability to control who we welcome as guests into

1388
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 11: our nation. These are not include people who celebrate assassinations.

1389
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 9: Yes, you are a vile, ghoulish, nasty monster of a

1390
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 9: person and you shouldn't be in this country. I have

1391
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 9: no problem saying that. And you know, I mean would

1392
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 9: throw it to you. I mean, you're the you. You

1393
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 9: have the talking points here for us. But this is

1394
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,840
Speaker 9: my perspective on it. I'm so grateful to the State

1395
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 9: Department and Secretary of Rubio. I'm so grateful to also

1396
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 9: Pete Hegseth, who's been looking through the ranks and there's

1397
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:58,120
Speaker 9: been disciplinary actions and investigations launched at Secretary or the

1398
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 9: Department of War. Sorry, I don't know if I said diode.

1399
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 9: Did I say he caught your Yeah? But I just

1400
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 9: there has to be no room for this, and we we, Charlie,

1401
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:10,480
Speaker 9: we talk a lot about this between Maggionism versus maga

1402
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 9: and like the country's going to go down one of

1403
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 9: the two routes, and so which one is it. Maga

1404
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 9: is American, it is a conservative, populous nationalism, whatever, but

1405
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:21,799
Speaker 9: maggionism is unacceptable. Caroline.

1406
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:24,439
Speaker 18: Yeah, this is just basic common sense.

1407
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 19: And I'm so glad we have a phenomenal Secretary of

1408
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 19: State in Marco Rubio who believes in common sense. And

1409
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:32,599
Speaker 19: as he said, we've been doing this since the beginning

1410
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 19: of the administration. If you hate our country, if you

1411
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 19: are inciting violence, if you are siding with terrorists, we

1412
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 19: have revoked the visas of pro Hamas individuals in our

1413
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 19: country who are engaging in some of the campus shut

1414
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 19: downs and locking down American universities. We are not going

1415
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:49,639
Speaker 19: to tolerate a legal behavior. We're not going to allow

1416
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 19: you to side with assassins in terrorists. Having a visa

1417
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,639
Speaker 19: to this country is a privilege, it is not a right.

1418
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:57,719
Speaker 19: And if you are wishing death upon America, you won't

1419
01:10:57,720 --> 01:10:58,679
Speaker 19: be welcome here anymore.

1420
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 15: It's so simple, so.

1421
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 9: Simple, it's so simple. The fact that we've made this complicated,

1422
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,599
Speaker 9: by the way, and by the way, there's there's lots

1423
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:09,919
Speaker 9: of reasons that you you should probably have your visa revoked.

1424
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:14,800
Speaker 9: But if there is an argument argument about this. Please

1425
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 9: let us know, Caroline, because we will help on the

1426
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:20,600
Speaker 9: messaging on that front, because like the fact that we

1427
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:22,760
Speaker 9: just can't have agreement about something as simple as this

1428
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,680
Speaker 9: is disturbing if that's the case. But hopefully we don't

1429
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 9: get too much better.

1430
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 19: I think the only people arguing this are the legacy

1431
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 19: media who have never seen real changes in Washington, DC,

1432
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 19: exactly the people that I unfortunately have to deal with

1433
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:35,680
Speaker 19: every day.

1434
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:38,599
Speaker 11: And I've seen, you know, a foreign lunatic that they

1435
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 11: didn't want to like immediately give citizenship to.

1436
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's the only people they seem to support or

1437
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 9: defend are usually like illegal immigrants or you know visa

1438
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:49,440
Speaker 9: holders that hate hate, assassins or assassins.

1439
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 12: Well, we're going to.

1440
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 9: Take a quick break, really quick, and we're going to

1441
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 9: welcome back National Radio one more segment with the great

1442
01:11:54,840 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 9: Caroline Levitt. We'll be right back, all right, Welcome back

1443
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 9: to the Charlie Kirk Show. I'm Andrew Covid, executive producer

1444
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 9: of this fine show, joined by Blake nef or not

1445
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:41,439
Speaker 9: So Secret Weapon. Where's the smirk? He loves it when

1446
01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 9: I call him that, And of course White House Press

1447
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 9: Secretary Caroline Lovett, there is some news with a gentleman

1448
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 9: commonly known as big Balls.

1449
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 11: We'll call him Edward Edward. Is it Edward Courustine? However

1450
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 11: you say the last name Edward big Balls? Course, I

1451
01:12:58,439 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 11: love how they say it here.

1452
01:12:59,280 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 9: On the New York Post.

1453
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 11: So anyway, as we remember, the big inspiration for the

1454
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,600
Speaker 11: Law and Order Surgeon DC was when he was just

1455
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,240
Speaker 11: attacked out of the blue while I believe on a

1456
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 11: date protected trying to protect her and they mauled him.

1457
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:16,640
Speaker 11: And this is just not acceptable to have happen in

1458
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 11: your nation's capital. And so that really inspired let's send

1459
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:21,639
Speaker 11: in the guard to restore order.

1460
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 9: And it's had a lot of success.

1461
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 11: But anyway, breaking today, the two teenagers who were involved

1462
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:29,839
Speaker 11: in that attack have been sentenced to probation.

1463
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 9: Weren't there more than two?

1464
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 19: There were ten? Yeah, we have two still looking for

1465
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 19: the other eight. I talked to Judge Jennie who's our

1466
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 19: great US attorney in Washington, d C.

1467
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 18: Yesterday actually at the Rose Garden.

1468
01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:45,120
Speaker 19: Ceremony before the President in Erica came out, and she

1469
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 19: is doing everything she possibly can to restore law and

1470
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:53,519
Speaker 19: order injustice in our nation's capital. But unfortunately like in

1471
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:58,240
Speaker 19: most liberal districts around the country, she is facing roadblock

1472
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 19: after roadblack from the courts and from the judges. And

1473
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:03,719
Speaker 19: so in this case, you have the US Attorney's Office

1474
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 19: prosecuting the two lead individuals who should be incarcerated, and

1475
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 19: you have a liberal judge saying no, they should just

1476
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:14,600
Speaker 19: be rehabilitated when they beat somebody to a pulp and

1477
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 19: they were involved in this mob mentality. Gang violence that

1478
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:21,760
Speaker 19: we see was so prevalent in Washington, d C. And

1479
01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 19: as you pointed out, this instance was just one of

1480
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 19: many that the administration said enough is enough.

1481
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:29,559
Speaker 18: We need to do more in Washington, DC to make

1482
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 18: this a safe place.

1483
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:33,800
Speaker 19: And so big credit to Judge Janine who's literally doing

1484
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 19: all she can with the resources that she has.

1485
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 18: But we have these these far left judges.

1486
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 19: I know the president is eventually going to appoint more

1487
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 19: good judges who actually believe in.

1488
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 18: Law and order and following the rule of law and

1489
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 18: enforcing it.

1490
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 19: And one of the big issues in DC is these juveniles.

1491
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 19: They just get a slap on the wrist. They say,

1492
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:55,600
Speaker 19: you need you know again, rehabilitation, not incarceration. This administration

1493
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:59,320
Speaker 19: has a completely different philosophy. We need law and order period.

1494
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:01,599
Speaker 19: If you commit a you're going to face consequences. If

1495
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 19: you commit a violent crime, you are going to see

1496
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 19: jail time. And so we'll see that through the best

1497
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 19: we can. But the courts are a real problem, and

1498
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:11,880
Speaker 19: not only in DC and all of these liberal jurisdictions.

1499
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:15,400
Speaker 19: They are blocking this administration from just pursuing basic law

1500
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:17,720
Speaker 19: and order. We see it in Portland, Oregon, where there

1501
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:21,600
Speaker 19: have been hundreds of nights of violent riots of a

1502
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 19: legal behavior outside of the ice facility. The President rightfully

1503
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:27,680
Speaker 19: and legally calls up the National Guard, and we have

1504
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 19: liberal judges saying, no, you can't do that when people

1505
01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:33,559
Speaker 19: are literally being attacked night after night our federal law

1506
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:36,639
Speaker 19: enforcement officers. So this is a fight we are taking

1507
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 19: to every city across the country every day. We know

1508
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 19: we are doing what is right by the merits of

1509
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:43,320
Speaker 19: the law. So we'll continue to fight these cases all

1510
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 19: the way up to the Supreme Court if we have to.

1511
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 9: Well, good for you, and I love that you guys

1512
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:48,400
Speaker 9: are on top of this. And it strikes me is

1513
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:51,759
Speaker 9: not disconnected from what happened to Charlie. There just seems

1514
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 9: to be this divergence and I you know, there's a

1515
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 9: thousand theories of what's causing it. But there's a divergence

1516
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:01,120
Speaker 9: between the left in the right when it comes to

1517
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 9: acceptance or justification of political violence, celebrating political violence, or

1518
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:09,760
Speaker 9: just law and order people. You know, the conservatives, we

1519
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 9: tend to be know this person needs to go into prison, jail,

1520
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 9: they need to be punished, held accountable. Judge needs been

1521
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 9: phenomenal on that, even if they're a little bit on

1522
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 9: the younger side sometimes right, and especially in this city,

1523
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 9: that is a lot of what we seen happen. These

1524
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 9: are repeat offenders. There was the former, I think it

1525
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:29,240
Speaker 9: was Metro PD chief said that the average homicide suspect

1526
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 9: had been arrested eleven times prior before committing you know,

1527
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:35,519
Speaker 9: the murdery.

1528
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:38,759
Speaker 11: Every murder that happens by someone who has eleven prior

1529
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 11: offenses was a preventable murder period.

1530
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 9: And I don't know what the philosophical divergence is, but

1531
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 9: it just seems like one side is doing everything they

1532
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:49,439
Speaker 9: can to so chaos and the other one's trying to

1533
01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 9: clean up the mess.

1534
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 19: The Republicans versus democrats, left versus right, conservatives versus progressives,

1535
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 19: whatever you want to call it. There's really a basic principle.

1536
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:03,439
Speaker 19: It is law and order versus lawlessness. Democrats want to

1537
01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:07,520
Speaker 19: caudle criminals. Republicans want to lock up criminals. That's it.

1538
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:11,160
Speaker 19: It's very simple. And again we see this resistance from judges.

1539
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 19: We even see it from police departments in some cities,

1540
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 19: like in Portland or in Chicago, where the Chicago PD

1541
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:21,240
Speaker 19: is actually told by the Democrat mayor to stand down

1542
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 19: when a federal law enforcement agent was being rammed by vehicles.

1543
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:26,599
Speaker 18: That's an unprecedented action.

1544
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 9: And the woman had a was a semi automatic uh

1545
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 9: correct strapped to her yes, and she ended up getting

1546
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 9: shot in a defensive measure, she drove herself to the

1547
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:36,799
Speaker 9: She ended up being okay. But it's just an insane story.

1548
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:40,559
Speaker 19: It is, and it shows how these Democrats have put

1549
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 19: politics above public safety and they are preventing local and

1550
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 19: federal law enforcement from working together. When you talk to

1551
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:49,639
Speaker 19: cops on the street, they want to work with the Feds.

1552
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 19: They want that backup, that support. They want to be

1553
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:55,040
Speaker 19: able to communicate, share intel and go arrest bad guys.

1554
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:57,679
Speaker 19: And as our FBI director says, we need to let

1555
01:17:57,760 --> 01:17:58,799
Speaker 19: cops be cops.

1556
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:00,640
Speaker 18: And that's what we're trying to do, and we.

1557
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 9: Want to have accurate data on how bad the.

1558
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 18: Actually are is looking into that.

1559
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 9: That's a whole Caroline Levitt, thank you so much, Press Secretary,

Speaker 21: of those names you mentioned. I saw Liz Trust. We

1576
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:16,840
Speaker 21: spoke to her, former Prime Minister of the UK. She

1577
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 21: is fiery, had a lot of comments about the attacks

1578
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 21: on the First Amendment in the UK and different cracks

1579
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 21: in the system there as well. And we spoke to

01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 21: keep attacking that.

1583
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 18: And he's speaking tonight.

1584
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:38,599
Speaker 21: I'm sure you can weigh more in on that.

1585
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:41,519
Speaker 22: Yeah. No, they share very similar world views on the

1586
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:45,920
Speaker 22: enemy within right. Everybody thinks of China and the extra enemies,

1587
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:48,439
Speaker 22: but we got problems in the deep state. Liz Trust

1588
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:51,280
Speaker 22: was huge on that. The General Mike flann is great

1589
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 22: on that. And then we had we had CEOs. I

1590
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 22: think you heard this morning from the CEO of Strive

1591
01:19:56,920 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 22: on bitcoin. The students eat that stuff up, the love it.

1592
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:03,840
Speaker 22: He's one of leading guys. Tomorrow's artificial intelligence for two

1593
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 22: sessions in a row with leading guys from Silicon Valley,

1594
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 22: the engineers, and they tell us they see ten years

1595
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:13,960
Speaker 22: down the road, further than the CEOs. So very interesting

1596
01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 22: panels Tomorrow.

1597
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 21: And I was a student, Terrence, because listening to Matt

1598
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 21: Cole talk about bitcoin, I said, you know, there's some volatility.

1599
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:22,120
Speaker 21: There's a lot of people who don't know much about bitcoin,

1600
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 21: even though it's the future. He said, over four years

1601
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:27,479
Speaker 21: if you go back every four years. It's never declined.

1602
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:30,200
Speaker 21: Even if there's volatility, it's always all right. So now

1603
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:32,160
Speaker 21: I sound like a pitch salesman for it, but there

1604
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:33,800
Speaker 21: you go. That was something I learned today, and a

1605

Speaker 9: All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. I've

1613
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:08,759
Speaker 9: lost my trusty companion, Blake Neff, who had to jump

1614
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:12,920
Speaker 9: on a flight. Complicated business, but we've got some good

1615
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:14,600
Speaker 9: stuff in store here for you. First, I want to

1616

1620
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,440

01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 9: woke agenda's Good Ranchers is standing strong for God, country,

1638
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 9: You're a tough get. I'm told I was told him

1639
01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:31,800
Speaker 9: the break that this is your first interview in three

1640
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 9: weeks or something, yeah, something like that. Well, I just

1641
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 9: want to say I'm honored that you would trust us

1642
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:41,240
Speaker 9: with this interview and trust me, and I know why

1643
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 9: you're doing it because you and Charlie were very close.

1644
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 9: And I told you this in the break that of

1645
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:50,719
Speaker 9: all of the people not named Trump or Vance, because

1646
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:53,040
Speaker 9: they're just in a whole different category, I think it's

1647
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:56,360
Speaker 9: safe to say that he had the most faith in

1648
01:22:56,400 --> 01:23:00,200
Speaker 9: your ability to operate in the levers of government, to

1649
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 9: move forward a conservative agenda in this in the Imperial

1650
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 9: capital known as Washington, DC. He knew that you understood

1651
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:12,559
Speaker 9: at an intricate level the way government works, and so

1652
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 9: you guys had your own personal, very close friendship. So

1653
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:17,719
Speaker 9: I want to give you the floor and let you

1654
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:19,640
Speaker 9: just kind of explain what that was like and what

1655
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:20,559
Speaker 9: Charlie meant to you.

1656
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:22,640
Speaker 23: Sure, well, thanks for having me. It's great to be

1657
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:26,879
Speaker 23: here at the White House and on your show. And honestly,

1658
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:31,759
Speaker 23: that's just what a gracious thing for Charlie to say.

1659
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:34,639
Speaker 23: And he was a huge advocate to get me back

1660
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:37,800
Speaker 23: at OMB And you know, I think one of the

1661
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 23: things that stood out to me about Charlie is just

1662
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:44,280
Speaker 23: the extent to which he was always in the fight.

1663
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 23: He was always pushing as much as we could get.

1664
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:53,360
Speaker 23: He was always cognizant of all of the different things

1665
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 23: that might cause you to be unsuccessful. He was always

1666
01:23:57,160 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 23: pushing truth in the midst of whatever complicated. It's almost

1667
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:05,200
Speaker 23: simplifying it from the standpoint what's right, what's wrong, what's truth,

1668
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 23: what's false, and having a good cheer about it, the

1669
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:13,360
Speaker 23: notion that this is coalition ball. We're trying to make

1670
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 23: sure that we're successful, we win, and to have a

1671
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 23: good time about it. And honestly, I think it's something

1672
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:21,840
Speaker 23: about your show that I love. Is just the extent

1673
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 23: to which you guys embody his ability to have fun

1674
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:29,720
Speaker 23: talking about the issues of the day, getting the message out,

1675
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 23: and ultimately winning and attracting a whole movement of people

1676
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:36,760
Speaker 23: that are going to come along with his legacy of

1677
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 23: standing on behalf of truth, come what may. And that's

1678
01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:44,160
Speaker 23: something I took from yesterday, the extent to which Erica

1679
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:48,680
Speaker 23: was articulating to the whole movement, the Turning Point movement.

1680
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 15: All of those new chapters, all of those.

1681
01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 23: New activists, people who are hitting the books for maybe

1682
01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:59,080
Speaker 23: the first time and rejecting what's in their liberal schools

1683
01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:00,799
Speaker 23: and saying I'm just going to be a self learner

1684
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:04,439
Speaker 23: in the mode of mode of Charlie. You know, they

1685
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:09,480
Speaker 23: now have this legacy in their heart and that's exciting,

1686
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:12,879
Speaker 23: and you know the future is going to pay incredible

1687
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:14,040
Speaker 23: dividends as a result of that.

1688
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:16,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, and I think that's really well said. Charlie

1689
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:20,240
Speaker 9: was a proud autodid act. You know. People would say, oh,

1690
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 9: you didn't graduate college, and he'd be like, that's a

1691
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 9: badge of honor. First of all, I think at the first,

1692
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:27,600
Speaker 9: early on, maybe it hurt his feelings a little bit,

1693
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:29,600
Speaker 9: but by the time he's twenty five, he wore it

1694
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:32,200
Speaker 9: as a badge of honor and realized that because of that,

1695
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:34,600
Speaker 9: he hadn't waste all this time, and he was so

1696
01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 9: much further ahead than so many But just so Russ.

1697
01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:40,720
Speaker 9: So you know that I'm not lying to you. Let's

1698
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:43,599
Speaker 9: go ahead and put up image two of two. This

1699
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:46,040
Speaker 9: is where Charlie says on February seventh of this year,

1700
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:49,600
Speaker 9: he says, people have yet to fully appreciate the significance

1701
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:53,960
Speaker 9: of rust. Vote at omb it's seismic. And then another

1702
01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:58,280
Speaker 9: this is August twenty ninth, so pretty recent Charlie said,

1703
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:02,640
Speaker 9: Director Russ Vote is one of the most capable and

1704
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 9: accomplished steady hands in Washington. Russ is the perfect pick

1705
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:08,000
Speaker 9: to once and for all close out USAID, which had

1706
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,599
Speaker 9: become a corrupt, woke and bloated rogue agency. And congrats

1707
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:13,880
Speaker 9: Secretary Rubio on having one less job. So that was

1708
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:16,879
Speaker 9: a I mean he really he would do it privately

1709
01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 9: and publicly. And you are now in many ways with

1710
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:23,719
Speaker 9: this government shutdown. Apparently what are we fourteen fifteen days

1711
01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 9: into it? You went pretty viral for a tweets. You

1712
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:32,719
Speaker 9: haven't given many interviews or none, but you said, you know, riffs,

1713
01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:37,599
Speaker 9: Explain they're coming, right, Explain what that is, and tell

1714
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:40,160
Speaker 9: us what your plans are in the shutdown.

1715
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:43,160
Speaker 23: Sure, so, first of all, riffs are reductions in force,

1716
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:45,800
Speaker 23: and this is something that we honestly did not do

1717
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:47,559
Speaker 23: in the first term. We had a lot of things

1718
01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:50,439
Speaker 23: in the first term. We had a ton of paradigm shifts,

1719
01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:53,120
Speaker 23: but one of the things we did not do was

1720
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:55,600
Speaker 23: reductions in force. And we honestly learned about it in

1721
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:58,440
Speaker 23: our years of exile, and we came into this administration

1722
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 23: and we've done riffs earlier in the year but the

1723
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:06,559
Speaker 23: Democrats have put us in a position where against the

1724
01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 23: American people's interests, they've put us in shutdown, and obviously

1725
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 23: there's impacts on the American people as a result. But

1726
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:16,799
Speaker 23: one of the problems of government shutdown is it slows

1727
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:20,599
Speaker 23: down the administration, So the administration can't do as much

1728
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:22,519
Speaker 23: of what it was doing on behalf of the American

1729
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 23: people because it's in a shutdown, and we, to the

1730
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 23: best of our abilities, want to minimize that that slow

1731
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 23: down and momentum. And I think the President is kind

1732
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 23: of doing that himself with you know, solving Middle East

1733
01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:38,719
Speaker 23: peace and all the manner of things that he spends

1734
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 23: his time in. But you know, one of the things

1735
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:43,600
Speaker 23: we want to do is if there are policy opportunities

1736
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:47,599
Speaker 23: to downsize the scope of the federal government, we want

1737
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:50,080
Speaker 23: to use those opportunities. And if I can't do things,

1738
01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 23: because you can't do everything you would normally do in

1739
01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 23: a shutdown, right, it has to be generally related to.

1740
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:57,480
Speaker 15: Life and protecting property.

1741
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:01,760
Speaker 23: And if I can only work on saving money, then

1742
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:04,479
Speaker 23: I'm going to do everything I can to look for

1743
01:28:04,520 --> 01:28:09,599
Speaker 23: opportunities to downsize in areas where this administration has thought

1744
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:12,400
Speaker 23: this is our way towards a balanced budget, and I

1745
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:14,400
Speaker 23: think you've seen some of that in the presence messaging.

1746
01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:19,320
Speaker 9: So are we talking ten people? We talk? In a

1747
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 9: thousand people we talk and we're definitely talking to people.

1748
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 15: We're definitely talking thousands of people.

1749
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:27,000
Speaker 23: Much of the reporting has been based on kind of

1750
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 23: court snapshots, which they've articulated is in the four four

1751
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:36,479
Speaker 23: thousand number of people. But that's just a snapshot, and

1752
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:38,080
Speaker 23: I think it'll get much higher. And we're going to

1753
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:41,680
Speaker 23: keep those rips rolling throughout this shutdown because we think

1754
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:45,960
Speaker 23: it's important to stay on offense for the American taxpayer

1755
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:50,640
Speaker 23: and the American people in getting a government that if

1756
01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:54,760
Speaker 23: there's an opportunity to have less bureaucracy and think of

1757
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:58,200
Speaker 23: green New Deal programs at the Department of Energy, I

1758
01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:02,599
Speaker 23: think the Minority Business Development Agency at Commerce that divvys

1759
01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:03,720
Speaker 23: up business.

1760
01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:04,880
Speaker 15: Grants on the basis of race.

1761
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 23: Think environmental justice at EPA, think about SISA. SISSA was

1762
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:14,559
Speaker 23: an area that we rift which was participating in censorship with.

1763
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 15: The American people.

1764
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:18,880
Speaker 23: We want to be very aggressive where we can be

1765
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:22,720
Speaker 23: in shuttering the bureaucracy, not just the funding, but the

1766
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:25,640
Speaker 23: bureaucracy that we now have an opportunity to do that,

1767
01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 23: and that's where we're going to be looking for our opportunities.

1768
01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:31,840
Speaker 9: So you're saying there's been a snapshot of four thousand

1769
01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:35,599
Speaker 9: jobs cut, correct, Is there a special but it could

1770
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:36,800
Speaker 9: grow row higher.

1771
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:38,759
Speaker 23: I think we'll probably end up being north of ten thousand.

1772
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:41,360
Speaker 9: Now, is there some special mechanism that allows you to

1773
01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:44,479
Speaker 9: do this during a government shutdown or are you simply saying, Hey,

1774
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:47,559
Speaker 9: while everything's stopped, I'm going to turn my attention to

1775
01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:48,640
Speaker 9: this because.

1776
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 23: It's a combination of both in the sense that Congress

1777
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:54,000
Speaker 23: is saying we're not going to fund these programs by

1778
01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 23: passing by not passing the Republican continuing Resolutions. So if

1779
01:29:57,600 --> 01:29:59,960
Speaker 23: there's no funding for these programs, then what.

1780
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:00,800
Speaker 15: What would you have us do?

1781
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:03,519
Speaker 23: Is it not to make an assumption that you don't

1782
01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:05,679
Speaker 23: intend to fund these in the future.

1783
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:08,200
Speaker 15: And so we're then doing the normal.

1784
01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 23: Act legal authorities that are given to us, and our

1785
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:15,120
Speaker 23: focus time and attention to be able to go after.

1786
01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:18,240
Speaker 15: And prioritize the riffs as opposed to.

1787
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:20,719
Speaker 23: The deregulatory agenda any of the things that we're normally

1788
01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:22,880
Speaker 23: tasked with at omb Well.

1789
01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:26,160
Speaker 9: This I mean just so you're aware our audience, there's

1790
01:30:26,200 --> 01:30:30,280
Speaker 9: probably people doing you know, high fives and jump kicks

1791
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:34,960
Speaker 9: out of just pure excitement to hear you talking about this. Meanwhile,

1792
01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:39,760
Speaker 9: legacy media, corporate media is probably writing you know, hit

1793
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:43,400
Speaker 9: pieces about this. But the base is hungry for cuts,

1794
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:47,720
Speaker 9: is so hungry for reductions in spending. But you know,

1795
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:51,519
Speaker 9: we talk about this the government shutdown. I'll be honest,

1796
01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:53,840
Speaker 9: I didn't feel it at all until I got to

1797
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:56,040
Speaker 9: Washington this week, and then it wasn't until talking to

1798
01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:58,800
Speaker 9: staff that I would normally, you know, communicate with and saying, oh,

1799
01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:01,040
Speaker 9: I can't come in because i'm fur or whatever until

1800
01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:05,400
Speaker 9: the shutdown's over. Is there a concern that this will

1801
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:09,280
Speaker 9: start rippling outside of the Imperial Capital, outside of the swamp,

1802
01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:11,800
Speaker 9: because I don't think Americans feel it, And that's kind

1803
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:15,640
Speaker 9: of a probably a good realization because there's a lot

1804
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,920
Speaker 9: of government we just simply don't need. But is there

1805
01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:20,640
Speaker 9: a concern that we might start to feel it? And

1806
01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:24,280
Speaker 9: in which ways will average of Americans across the country

1807
01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:25,080
Speaker 9: begin to feel it?

1808
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:28,479
Speaker 23: So I think part of the catch up effect is

1809
01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:31,080
Speaker 23: that the people that are doing essential services are not

1810
01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:34,200
Speaker 23: getting paid. So you may have border control you may

1811
01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:38,439
Speaker 23: have air traffic control the military, obviously, although we're fixing

1812
01:31:38,479 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 23: that by getting finding a playing budgetary twister to find

1813
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:45,280
Speaker 23: a pot of money that has a similar purpose that

1814
01:31:45,320 --> 01:31:48,439
Speaker 23: we can pay them. And so it does have an

1815
01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:52,760
Speaker 23: impact on how long this can go without having severe repercussions.

1816
01:31:53,080 --> 01:31:56,360
Speaker 23: And we don't want air traffic control to start staying

1817
01:31:56,400 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 23: home sick. So we want to get out of the shutdown.

1818
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:02,679
Speaker 23: We want to do what's necessary to get the government open.

1819
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:06,879
Speaker 23: We've put forward a very simple proposition, which is continue

1820
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:11,479
Speaker 23: at current levels, which is a cr and they have

1821
01:32:11,560 --> 01:32:14,120
Speaker 23: put forward one point five trillion dollars in demands.

1822
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:15,320
Speaker 15: I mean, they said, all right, the.

1823
01:32:15,400 --> 01:32:18,560
Speaker 23: Entire title of the One Beautiful Bill has to be repealed,

1824
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:23,200
Speaker 23: and then we want all manner of expansions to continued

1825
01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:27,840
Speaker 23: of Biden healthcare policy that have largely been riddled with fraud.

1826
01:32:28,439 --> 01:32:31,360
Speaker 23: And they said they also want us to repeal our

1827
01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:33,920
Speaker 23: recisions which would get us back in the public broadcasting

1828
01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:37,439
Speaker 23: business with Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and they want us

1829
01:32:37,439 --> 01:32:39,720
Speaker 23: back in the foreign aid business so that we essentially

1830
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:46,080
Speaker 23: reopen usaid. And so the magnitude of their demands is madness.

1831
01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:47,920
Speaker 23: And so we're trying to get that out to the

1832
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:51,200
Speaker 23: American people, and I think it will start to bite

1833
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:55,040
Speaker 23: unfortunately in the days ahead. But thankfully we've paid for

1834
01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:58,160
Speaker 23: the military, law enforcement and border and they'll get their paychecks.

1835
01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:00,760
Speaker 9: Oh okay, so you did get law enforced. Yeah, and

1836
01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:04,679
Speaker 9: border okay, good. Border is incredibly important as well, because

1837
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:07,360
Speaker 9: I think you know, and Charlie believe this that the one,

1838
01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:11,680
Speaker 9: you know, you can argue about some of the other accomplishments,

1839
01:33:11,720 --> 01:33:13,679
Speaker 9: are there good or but it's like, now, the border

1840
01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:16,920
Speaker 9: is this historic accomplishment. And what you guys got done

1841
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:20,439
Speaker 9: with the big beautiful bill to augment that force first

1842
01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:22,880
Speaker 9: time that I believe ICE personnel has been increased, the

1843
01:33:22,960 --> 01:33:25,839
Speaker 9: number of ICE personnel has been increased in its history.

1844
01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:31,240
Speaker 9: Was a historic, important, tremendous accomplishment that fulfilled a mandate

1845
01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:34,720
Speaker 9: from the American people that they said they wanted that

1846
01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:36,720
Speaker 9: in November. So the fact and they wanted by the way,

1847
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:38,280
Speaker 9: they wanted all the illegals out. I mean, there's a

1848
01:33:38,320 --> 01:33:41,760
Speaker 9: lot of polling that shows that. And anyway, so I

1849
01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 9: don't know what the Democrats are going to do here

1850
01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:44,960
Speaker 9: more with rest vote. In just one second, I'm going

1851
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:47,639
Speaker 9: to tell you quickly about Patriot Mobile. Think about it.

1852
01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:50,400
Speaker 9: Every dollar you spend is either supporting your values or

1853
01:33:50,439 --> 01:33:53,720
Speaker 9: working against them. In today's economy, where you spend your

1854
01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:56,840
Speaker 9: money matters, and that's why that's how we take our

1855
01:33:56,840 --> 01:33:59,640
Speaker 9: country back. Patriot Mobile is leading the way as America's

1856
01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:04,960
Speaker 9: only Christian conservative wireless provider. Switch today without sacrificing quality

1857
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:08,360
Speaker 9: or service. You'll get exceptional nationwide coverage because unlike most

1858
01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 9: budget wireless providers, Patriot Mobile has access to all three

1859
01:34:12,120 --> 01:34:15,360
Speaker 9: major US networks. You can even add two numbers on

1860
01:34:15,439 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 9: two networks on one phone, which is what I do.

1861
01:34:18,439 --> 01:34:19,920
Speaker 9: So you're gonna want to take advantage of this. And

1862
01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:22,120
Speaker 9: the best part is they're great people. They support our values,

1863
01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:25,240
Speaker 9: the support Turning Point USA, they support the show. So

1864
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:28,040
Speaker 9: God bless Glenn and the team. They're amazing people. Right now,

1871
01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:03,840
Speaker 9: all right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. I

1872
01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 9: actually got to see these guys last night. The folks

1873
01:35:06,080 --> 01:35:10,240
Speaker 9: over at why REFI came to the ceremony. They did

1874
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:12,680
Speaker 9: know the reception afterwards, and I got to just give

1875
01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:15,960
Speaker 9: him a hug. I hadn't seen them since everything that happened,

1876
01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:20,280
Speaker 9: but it was really important to see them, because again,

1877
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:23,559
Speaker 9: when you go through something like we've gone through here

1878
01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:25,599
Speaker 9: at the Charlie Kirk Show here at Turning Point USA,

1879
01:35:25,680 --> 01:35:29,160
Speaker 9: when people stand beside you in the breach and they

1880
01:35:29,280 --> 01:35:31,040
Speaker 9: just say, hey, we're not going to go anywhere, and

1881
01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:33,840
Speaker 9: we're with you one hundred percent, it'll make you a

1882
01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:38,000
Speaker 9: little emotional, I can assure you. So why REFI they

1883
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:40,679
Speaker 9: handle private student loan debt. I've told you the spiel before.

1884
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:43,240
Speaker 9: They will help you when others refuse to. They don't

1885
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:46,120
Speaker 9: care about your credit. They will get you an amount

1886
01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:48,719
Speaker 9: that you can pay every month that works in your budget.

1887
01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:50,960
Speaker 9: And they're good people. They're just good people. So they're

1888
01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:52,360
Speaker 9: gonna stand by you and they're going to take good

1889
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:55,080
Speaker 9: care of you. That's why refight dot com. So if

1890
01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:58,120
Speaker 9: you find yourself with distressed or defaulted private student loans.

Speaker 9: with RUSS Vote in just one second. All right, final

1898
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:32,640
Speaker 9: segment of the day here at the Charlie Kirkshaw. I

1899
01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:36,519
Speaker 9: can't believe we are already through this the show. It's

1900
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:38,559
Speaker 9: gone really fast here at the White House, Live from

1901
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:42,240
Speaker 9: the White House. I believe this is Joe Biden's old set.

1902
01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:44,840
Speaker 9: I'm not think I think he did this or his

1903
01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:47,479
Speaker 9: people did it. He he just signed with the autopen

1904
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:50,800
Speaker 9: to get it done. Anyways, we have Reuss Vote, Director

1905
01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:52,759
Speaker 9: of OMB, one of the most important people in government

1906
01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:55,080
Speaker 9: that's not named Vance or Trump right now because they're

1907
01:36:55,080 --> 01:36:58,240
Speaker 9: in a separate category. As how I say it is,

1908
01:36:58,320 --> 01:37:00,560
Speaker 9: USA gone.

1909
01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:00,880
Speaker 15: Pretty close to it.

1910
01:37:01,120 --> 01:37:04,760
Speaker 23: We're in the close out phase of USAID in terms

1911
01:37:04,800 --> 01:37:09,400
Speaker 23: of having shifted anything that was legitimate that needed to

1912
01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:12,760
Speaker 23: go to state, and we're now in the business of

1913
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:17,599
Speaker 23: closing it out, making sure that nonprofits that didn't share

1914
01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:20,879
Speaker 23: our values don't get any money, making sure we dispense

1915
01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:24,160
Speaker 23: of any property. But also, I think importantly, Andrew, the

1916
01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:26,839
Speaker 23: extent to which we want to expose to the American people,

1917
01:37:27,479 --> 01:37:31,120
Speaker 23: the extent of the corruption, the waste, the abuse, the

1918
01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:34,760
Speaker 23: horrible foreign policy that USAID was a part of. And

1919
01:37:34,840 --> 01:37:38,040
Speaker 23: so my instruction to our kind of small team that

1920
01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:41,200
Speaker 23: has been given this responsibility is we're going to put

1921
01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:44,840
Speaker 23: everything out out there that we possibly can. We've got

1922
01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:47,640
Speaker 23: all the records and we'll be mining those. We'll be

1923
01:37:47,640 --> 01:37:51,840
Speaker 23: bringing in individuals with a specific skill set to be

1924
01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:54,320
Speaker 23: able to go deep and to find out the different

1925
01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:58,760
Speaker 23: tentacles and connections and connect the dots between. Essentially, it

1926
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:01,439
Speaker 23: was bad foreign policy and the extent to was largely

1927
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:03,320
Speaker 23: money laundering through nonprofits.

1928
01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:05,479
Speaker 9: Maybe maybe you dive into that just briefly here and

1929
01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:08,439
Speaker 9: it's a short segment, but you know a lot of

1930
01:38:08,439 --> 01:38:10,800
Speaker 9: people allege that it was an icy carve out that

1931
01:38:11,160 --> 01:38:14,400
Speaker 9: there was you know, sort of meddling in foreign affairs

1932
01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:17,120
Speaker 9: and foreign governments. Mike Ben's has done it, deep dives

1933
01:38:17,360 --> 01:38:20,759
Speaker 9: dives on this data. Republican, did you see that yourself?

1934
01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:25,040
Speaker 23: We are we are desperately testing those theories. And we know,

1935
01:38:25,200 --> 01:38:27,840
Speaker 23: like we know, you know, a nation like Hungary will

1936
01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:32,839
Speaker 23: tell you USAI D was actively pushing regime change in Hungary,

1937
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:35,960
Speaker 23: and we know that if they, even if they weren't

1938
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:38,639
Speaker 23: pushing regime change in many of these countries, they were

1939
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:40,599
Speaker 23: doing it culturally in the extent to which they were

1940
01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:46,040
Speaker 23: pushing woke policies and gay pride events.

1941
01:38:44,920 --> 01:38:46,599
Speaker 15: In countless countries.

1942
01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:49,000
Speaker 23: And you know, so those are the types of things

1943
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:51,160
Speaker 23: that we want to bring to the American people's attention,

1944
01:38:51,680 --> 01:38:53,800
Speaker 23: not just the extent to which, hey, we have an

1945
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:57,160
Speaker 23: inspector general of one aspect of abuse that we can

1946
01:38:57,200 --> 01:39:00,200
Speaker 23: then talk about, but we wanted just the extent.

1947
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:02,160
Speaker 15: To which it was everywhere with USAID.

1948
01:39:03,080 --> 01:39:04,920
Speaker 23: And that's really what our goal is over the next

1949
01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:07,600
Speaker 23: several weeks and months. But I think this will be,

1950
01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:10,840
Speaker 23: you know, the final nail in the coffin the extent

1951
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:13,080
Speaker 23: to which we put this agency out of business once.

1952
01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:15,200
Speaker 9: And yeah, so just in the break, I was like,

1953
01:39:15,360 --> 01:39:17,240
Speaker 9: I asked that question. He goes, well, it's a husk

1954
01:39:17,280 --> 01:39:18,760
Speaker 9: of its former self, and I said, why is there

1955
01:39:18,760 --> 01:39:21,600
Speaker 9: even a husk? And so I love it because you

1956
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:24,720
Speaker 9: actually have a strategy here, you're going to expose this

1957
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:27,160
Speaker 9: and educate the American people on what was really going

1958
01:39:27,200 --> 01:39:30,400
Speaker 9: on and give the American people some transparency into this.

1959
01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:34,400
Speaker 9: Another agency that you're working on closing it sounds like

1960
01:39:34,760 --> 01:39:38,719
Speaker 9: is the CFPB. YEP, can tell us about that, because

1961
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:41,400
Speaker 9: I've heard people say, actually, of all the things that

1962
01:39:41,439 --> 01:39:43,680
Speaker 9: actually did some good and we're you know, but but

1963
01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:44,360
Speaker 9: you disagree.

1964
01:39:44,400 --> 01:39:47,280
Speaker 23: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau it is my third hat that

1965
01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:47,800
Speaker 23: I wear.

1966
01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:49,840
Speaker 15: Thankfully it's across the street.

1967
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:53,920
Speaker 23: We don't have anyone working there except our Republican appointees

1968
01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:58,639
Speaker 23: and a few careers that are doing statutory responsibilities while

1969
01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:00,720
Speaker 23: we close down the a agency. And I'll give you

1970
01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:04,360
Speaker 23: the reason why people say consumer financial Protection don't we

1971
01:40:04,400 --> 01:40:08,519
Speaker 23: want to protect consumers? Absolutely, this agency wasn't doing It

1972
01:40:08,560 --> 01:40:12,200
Speaker 23: had the DNA of Elizabeth Warren. So you know, okay,

1973
01:40:13,240 --> 01:40:16,920
Speaker 23: you come into O and B and our career staff.

1974
01:40:17,040 --> 01:40:19,639
Speaker 23: They want to do what the president wants them to do,

1975
01:40:19,880 --> 01:40:23,439
Speaker 23: and uh, you know, they're used to working for different presidents.

1976
01:40:23,520 --> 01:40:28,360
Speaker 23: Right this agency, all they want to do is weaponize

1977
01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:33,080
Speaker 23: the tools of financial laws against basically small mom and

1978
01:40:33,120 --> 01:40:37,400
Speaker 23: pop lenders and other small financial institutions. And that's what

1979
01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:41,719
Speaker 23: we saw and give an example, Townstone was a lender

1980
01:40:41,760 --> 01:40:47,320
Speaker 23: in Chicago that they weaponized despared impact to go after

1981
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:50,800
Speaker 23: them and say that and there was never any complaints

1982
01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:54,920
Speaker 23: about lending that that was racially motivated or not lending.

1983
01:40:55,120 --> 01:40:58,479
Speaker 23: Never a complaint, and they ruined this guy's life for

1984
01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:01,720
Speaker 23: seven years. And I called them up and I just said, look,

1985
01:41:01,760 --> 01:41:06,080
Speaker 23: we found internally that not only did they do this,
