1
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: Every day there's a battle for your mind, raging information

2
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: coming from every angle, but the will to the sieve,

3
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: fear not. You found the place for truth, the voice

4
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: of a generation that still has the will to believe

5
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: in the greatest country in the history of the world.

6
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: This is the Charlie Kirk Show. Fuck a lot. Here

7
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: we go.

8
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: Without further ado. Steve kay Bannon, Oh, he's got his

9
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: Washington book. That's when you know it's serious.

10
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 3: I like that.

11
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: If you got him, smoke him. Stephen k Bannon. It's

12
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 2: an honor to have you here. This was a tradition

13
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: that started with Charlie. You guys would basically do this

14
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: interview every MFES sometimes Student Action Summit, and so thank

15
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: you for making the time to sit down with us.

16
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 4: The first time it really hit me that, I think

17
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 4: I told you the first time it hit me that

18
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 4: Charlie was gone was because you know, I came to

19
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 4: Utah those days and spent a couple of days with

20
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 4: you guys. But the first time it hit me was

21
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: when you two came up to do the transition on

22
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 4: the show, which we always do at amphis Live right,

23
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 4: So yeah.

24
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: We were texting about it the night before, and you

25
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: were the one who said it's tradition, we have got

26
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: to do it.

27
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 4: Well, Charlie, you guys start the show spring of twenty two.

28
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: On while on rav it was July twenty twenty two.

29
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 5: July twenty twenty two, and you guys had the podcast.

30
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 5: You'd had a show.

31
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: We started it in May of twenty nineteen, and we

32
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: were just doing once a week. Actually, at first, Charlie

33
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: didn't think it fit much more into his schedule, and

34
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: then COVID happened and he was like, let's do three

35
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: times a week. And I was like, okay, here we go.

36
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: And then literally within one week of doing three three

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 2: shows in a week, he was like, okay, let's do five.

38
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: Let's do five a week. We're gonna do five a week,

39
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: and then it was like maybe more like ten. Eventually

40
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: he was just starting just a content machine. He was

41
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: stuck because of COVID. We couldn't do it as much

42
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: as we as we typically did, and he couldn't.

43
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 5: There was no college story anything.

44
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: So he was just like making my life miserable. It was.

45
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: It was amazing, and then COVID went away and he

46
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: wasn't kind of it.

47
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 4: Charlie was a he managed by you guys, figure it

48
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 4: out right, figured it out?

49
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was pure chaos, pure insanity behind the scenes.

50
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: You know. He picks people so that they can figure

51
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 2: it out. He doesn't want to micromanage and just make

52
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: it happen.

53
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: But look at this what thirty one Amfest was always

54
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 4: so big and so intense, right student action. So mu's big,

55
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 4: but it's got a different vibe to it.

56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: Right, younger crowd. It's mostly students.

57
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 4: Students and in different breakout sessions Amfest because you always

58
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: have Vice President prison i states, I mean, and the

59
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 4: heaviest hitters you have in the political movement. But to

60
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: know that you've got thirty one thousand and walking on

61
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 4: that stage last night, when you look out there, just see,

62
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 4: I mean, it's got did you feel like twenty thousand?

63
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: You know, it's crazy that that room. I think Max

64
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: is out at like eighteen or something. We received twenty

65
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 2: one thousand in there for Trump last year on the Sunday,

66
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 2: so he came as his member. It was his first

67
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: kind of event after winning the election. So he flew

68
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: all the way out to Phoenix. Trump does not like

69
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: to go west that much.

70
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 5: That the trip he also doesn't overnight.

71
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, exactly. Everything is a day trip exactly. So anyways,

72
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: he came out for that twenty one thousand. I think

73
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: that's the most we've ever fit inside the actual the

74
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: main ballroom. So we're going to try and do something

75
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: similar because there's there is thirty one thousand people. It's

76
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: this event, and you know, I told people it's like,

77
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: you know, somebody after Charlie died kind of thought, oh,

78
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: we should probably look at Amfest tickets to see where

79
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: we're at. And instantly it was like, I think we

80
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: should probably off ticketing, you know, quickly, and so. But

81
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: we also the.

82
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 4: Thirty one thousand, you still have another list who couldn't

83
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 4: even get to cold.

84
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: We could have doubled it. Just to be perfectly clear,

85
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: we could have sold sixty thousand.

86
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 4: No, I remember this because we did. Charlie had come

87
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 4: to us in August to make an early announcement. In fact,

88
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 4: I asked Charlie, I said, are you guys going to

89
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: have the stadium this year? He goes, no, No, the same

90
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 4: place I go early says no, we just want to

91
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 4: do it. So we did announce it like on August

92
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: nineteenth or twentieth and then by the time, because normal

93
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 4: we start selling in October and we always have a

94
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: war room code so people get a special deal again.

95
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 4: So by the time everything got organized to really do

96
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: the things and get the code, I think we our

97
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 4: team came in there.

98
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 5: And go, hey, it's actually sold out.

99
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe we can fit some.

100
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: More people in. Yeah, because Charlie was always you know,

101
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: we have this inside joke it's always like more more,

102
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: you know, in all our group chats. Since Charlie's was killed,

103
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: it's just more more. So turning off the ticketing for

104
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: this event was actually pretty traumatic for us because you know,

105
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: you got fire marshal stuff. I mean you saw night

106
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: one it with people. People were getting upset they couldn't

107
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: get into the main ballroom space and it was just

108
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: getting congested. I mean there is a fire marshal for

109
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: a reason. I mean, but is there.

110
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 4: An overflows that were the other time.

111
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have a bunch of overflow and basically all

112
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: the media row booths are going to be having it up,

113
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: VIPs having it up everywhere that you know for JD

114
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: especially you know, guys like yourself, we want to make

115
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: sure you can watch it in different various places if

116
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: you can't get into the venue. But it's this is

117
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 2: a good problem to have, and we're we're gonna we're

118
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: gonna be creative with solutions in the future, certainly, but

119
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: we've got some more surprises up our sleep. So well,

120
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: even for this event.

121
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 4: The content is great and the breakout sessions are Man.

122
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 4: When you look through that schedule, everything you guys put up,

123
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 4: it's it's amazing all And the breakout sessions, as you said,

124
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 4: were Charlie's. That was Charlie's favorites, because that's not people

125
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: talking on stage, that's actually getting things done. Yeah.

126
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: I saw somebody on X say and like, well, it

127
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: would be nice to have some normal people instead all

128
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 2: these like influencers up on stas were like, if you

129
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: looked at the breakout sessions, if you looked at like

130
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: everybody that's in the halls, I mean, okay, this is

131
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: a pot populist movement, all right, you know it's I'll

Speaker 4: Has been.

154
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: I missed that little online chatter. It's mostly getting drowned

155
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 2: up by other thing.

156
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 5: No, no, but it's also mainstream media.

158
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 4: Thursday night obviously media, and they picked.

159
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 5: Up last night myself.

160
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 4: And Megan and and Jack. Right, So it's what do

161
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 4: you make of it. Here's what I make of it.

162
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 4: I think this is what I tried to say last night,

163
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 4: And this is what part of the aspect. Maybe everybody

164
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 4: didn't see a Charlie because people know Charlie from turning

165
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 4: point in the Summits and you know, and Amfest and

166
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 4: and doing all the stuff and going to do the

167
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 4: and doing you know, change my mind.

168
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 5: Right, all that around proved me wrong.

169
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 4: Yes, he couldn't change his mind.

170
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: Different influencer, different controversial online influencers, the who's great by

171
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: the the.

172
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 4: But Charlie was also I mean and transition well, first off,

173
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 4: justin campaign, I mean, because of his judgment and understanding

174
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 4: how things roll. He was one of the most senior

175
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 4: advisors to the campaign and quite frankly, I think given

176
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 4: the grassroots nature and the grint and the turnout which

177
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 4: won everything, he was probably as influential as the campaign

178
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 4: manager and other people because of knowing what to do.

179
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 4: Then on the transition, Charlie Kirk, I mean, he camped

180
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 4: out in mar Lago.

181
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 5: That's what you guys are doing.

182
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: This show seventy two hours after the election. He was

183
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: on a plane tomorrow Lago.

184
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 4: And I think they virtually the whole time he might

185
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 4: have come back a little. I think you guys were

186
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 4: and having to juggle the show with.

187
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 5: What he was doing. He was I think one of.

188
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 4: The two or three key advisors to the president of personnel,

189
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 4: of particularly vetting, and who was Magan who had President

190
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 4: Trump's back then when the administration started, Charlie spent you know,

191
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 4: and people didn't really understand this.

192
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 5: He spent so much time in the White House.

193
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 4: In the White House, he's working on the Sergio Gore

194
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 4: on personnel, also on doing the vetting because remember the

195
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 4: guy get three thousand people that are don't have to

196
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 4: be confirmed in you got to hit the deck place

197
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 4: front of the flood, the zone and days of thunder.

198
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 5: Also a thousand of the confirmation people all have to

199
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 5: be vetted.

200
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 4: Charlie was given senior advice, and Trump respects his advice,

201
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 4: respects the way he thinks his judgment at thirty one

202
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 4: years old. In addition, he's in big policy decisions. Why

203
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 4: because people respect Charlie's opinion. I mean he comes at

204
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 4: it with a certain sense of gravitas. He's really and

205
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 4: that shows you that from eighteen to thirty one, those

206
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 4: years really in political combat he had a learning curve.

207
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: One hundred percent American Maid darn proud of it.

208
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 4: The Charlie Kirk Show. Everything you guys did wasn't perfect

209
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 4: at first, including when we first came to Breitbart, when

210
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 4: you guys first did the big turnout thing in twenty

211
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: two everything, But you're a learning organization. You're learning curve is.

212
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 5: Like that, right, and it's just working effort.

213
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 4: And Charlie and on policy and so in these policy

214
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 4: debates in the summer of twenty twenty five, Charlie Kirk

215
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 4: was one of the most important people because Charlie is

216
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: also a networker. He knows how to bring people together,

217
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 4: he knows how to get the best ideas out of them,

218
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 4: and so I think of what a lot of what.

219
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 5: You see on the stage.

220
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 4: And Andrew was a big first ament of free speech guy.

221
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 4: And Charlie is too. I mean, it's nothing close to

222
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 4: Charlie's hert than open debate. But this is just not

223
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 4: about oh, is this guy in or that guy in,

224
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 4: or who's going to be you know, even Vivek last

225
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 4: night and Schneider and I respect both those guys, but

226
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 4: they're talking about who's in, who's out of people are

227
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 4: going to decide that.

228
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 5: It's not for us to decide.

229
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: People are going to decide that. But it's something deeper.

230
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 4: It's not just are they ent or out or able

231
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 4: to talk? Is what are they talking about? What are

232
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 4: these big issues? And that's why I wanted to bring

233
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 4: up one last night that Charlie was key on it.

234
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 4: One of four or five that we have to get decided,

235
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 4: I think relatively quickly.

236
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 5: And that's basically who governs this country right.

237
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 4: And I say this I think from a position of

238
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 4: strength because as someone that's actually been in the field

239
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 4: running media companies and being a political activist, I don't

240
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 4: think anybody out there has a record better than mine

241
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 4: than defense of Israel. I am a Christian Zionist and

242
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 4: I'm a Christian nationalist. Now I'm not a Christian Zionist

243
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 4: like some people are, but I'm a Christian Zionist and

244
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 4: a Christian nationalist at Breitbart, bar none at Breitbart when

245
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 4: I ran it, it was the biggest defender of Israel going.

246
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 4: When I got to the White House, I was the

247
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 4: lead on so many things. We're particularly trying to get

248
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,359
Speaker 4: the Muslim Brotherhood designated terrorist organization, which I failed miserably.

249
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 4: It was the hardest thing we did. And I get

250
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 4: nowhere the government, the deep stay inside of the government

251
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 4: shut it down. But really trying to move the embassy

252
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 4: to Jerusalem. I wanted to do a day one. My

253
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 4: whole plan for Day one it was, well, it was

254
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 4: to have the present because I wanted a populist I'm

255
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 4: not a big gala guy.

256
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 5: I wanted.

257
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 4: What I recommended was you have the ceremony, and we

258
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 4: give the speech, and the things centered around the speech,

259
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 4: and in fact, we should take the podium about halfway

260
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 4: through the speech and turn it and he would just

261
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 4: talk to the to the to the deep state that's

262
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 4: all sitting there in those things. Oh no, no, no,

263
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 4: mel and I talked about it, could you. And then

264
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 4: you have the camera view of President Trump with a

265
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 4: million people in back of him, and he's just.

266
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 5: Lecturing these guys.

267
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 4: Right. Remember Bush said after the speech, that's some crazy, right,

268
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 4: just in the speech, We're going to give it to

269
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 4: him crazy. So we ruled that. But instead of having

270
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 4: the big lunch in the Capitol while people are freezing

271
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 4: and President Trump is really loved the parades, just let's

272
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 4: start the prey. Don't spend two hours with the people freezing,

273
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 4: Let's just do the preded immediately, get it done. Go

274
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 4: to the White House, hover everybody come by in the parade.

275
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 4: President Trump would love it. Then he'd go in the

276
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 4: Oval Office and the very first thing we would do

277
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 4: is he would sign an executive order moving the embassy

278
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 4: to Jerusalem, very first activist presidency, because it would be

279
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 4: so historic. Then he would we do some more work.

280
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 4: He would go back to the capital and address Congress,

281
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 4: Paul Ryan, these guys, and he'd lay out his agenda

282
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 4: for the first hundred days and saying, this is not

283
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 4: why I'm proposing, this is what we're gonna do. And

284
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 4: you guys got to get some racks in here because

285
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 4: we're gonna say you're gonna stay around the clock for

286
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 4: one hundred days until we do all this.

287
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: That was Charlie was really big on making Congress work.

288
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 4: Making Congress work. You go back and do it now.

289
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 4: Obviously my plan was not chosen right. That the best

290
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 4: I did, and that when they had a few galas

291
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 4: so but it was fine. People wanted to celebrate and

292
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 4: I thought it was great. President Trump and my plan

293
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 4: would go to one ball, the Veterans Ball, and he

294
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 4: and the first lady would dance, and then she would

295
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 4: dance with one of the veterans.

296
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 7: But it's telling because the second inauguration is much closer

297
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 7: to that. It didn't flip the podium around, but that

298
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 7: stunt of being in the Oval office at the desk

299
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 7: signing all of the executive orders and he got to

300
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 7: this is perfect.

301
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 4: And here's the reason.

302
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 5: Here's the reason. In sixteen we had nothing.

303
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 4: I mean, we wanted to come from behind. I mean

304
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 4: on the on the night before in the polling, we

305
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 4: were still down. That was all turnout and people just

306
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 4: coming out that people never realize low information, low propency voters.

307
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 4: The second time, we had four years that those years

308
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 4: in the wildness, and this is why I keep saying

309
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 4: sixteen was providential. Twenty the Big Steel was providential.

310
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 5: Because it gave us the four years of the.

311
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 4: Precinct strategy of turning point getting up to speed. Those

312
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 4: four years I would say were the most valuable years

313
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 4: of Charlie Kirkin turning point learning, learning using the twenty

314
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 4: two not just midterms, but the Arizona races to learn more,

315
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 4: to figure out what works and what done work, to

316
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 4: continue to learn and then twenty four have a machine

317
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 4: that actually deliver places like Pennsylvania and Michigan and Arizona.

318
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 4: We needed those years and that's why the shock and

319
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 4: on Days of Thunder they had fifteen executive orders because

320
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 4: it had been years in the making, and that was

321
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 4: what's so.

322
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 5: Powerful about where we are.

323
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 4: But it's all providential, the twenty four elections providential, and

324
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 4: that's why you know we've got to grind on here.

325
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: Well, so you've got the bonafil days as a pro

326
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: Israel voice over many years, but last night you you

327
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: sounded a slightly different note.

328
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 4: Well, I don't think it's a different note. I think

329
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 4: I think I'm actually a defender of Israel. You have

330
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 4: these people that have made there's two concepts called Greater Israel. Right,

331
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 4: Greater Israel is not Israel. Greater Israel is a geopolitical

332
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 4: entity that takes part of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Sinai, all

333
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 4: the way in Egypt, West Bank, all the way, all

334
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 4: the that's tiny all I'm talking about, all the way

335
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 4: into Iraq and has a defeat of the Persians as

336
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 4: part of it. That's a grandiose plan. And there are

337
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 4: people in Israel that are this is a real thing.

338
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: Just so you guys know this is a this says

339
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: a real backing with no.

340
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 4: This is nen Yahoo. Remember also, Israel's changing and you

341
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 4: should talk to your friends in Israel or Israel's changing radically.

342
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 4: I believe under net Yahoo, who I think is just

343
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 4: doing this for his own political survival, that I would

344
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 4: say that Israel's on the path to become a Jewish Pakistan,

345
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 4: which is more a hardcore right ethno state. And I

346
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 4: think you see this from who's leaving Israel and going

347
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 4: to Portugal and going to Spain and going to Greece

348
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 4: to live. On top of that, there is a portion

349
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 4: of the media and people here that are Israel first.

350
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 4: They just are. And the perfect example was this current

351
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 4: war that we went through. Everything about that war was

352
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 4: a lie. We know that for a fact now, the

353
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 4: whole intensity of having to bomb in the nuclear facilities.

354
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 4: He eventually Netnyahu had to give up the documents to

355
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 4: his cabinet everybody to go through it. And the Times

356
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 4: of Israel said it was two years. As you know,

357
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 4: it wasn't two weeks. It was two years. They started

358
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 4: a war that they couldn't finish. They were getting pound

359
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 4: at President Trump saved Israel because remember at the very first,

360
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 4: you know, we sent Egis cruisers into the Eastern Mediterranean

361
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 4: with the air systems they have. We sent our Patriot

362
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 4: missiles out there are missiles twenty five percent.

363
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 5: It was the US.

364
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 4: We were an active combatant in that war from the

365
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 4: very first, an active combatan in the war. Now on

366
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 4: the offensive part, it wasn't just the B twos taking

367
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 4: taking out the caves.

368
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 5: I was in the North Arabian Sea.

369
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 4: In nineteen eighty as a young naval officer on a

370
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 4: destroyer to carry battlet groups after the hospital were taken.

371
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 4: They're same that we still have essentially a carry group

372
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 4: or submarines there today. It was the submarines I think

373
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 4: they were fast attack submarines that launched thirty cruise missiles,

374
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 4: which is a technology from the nineteen seventies, that took

375
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 4: got all the surface facilities that the Israeli Air Force

376
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 4: couldn't take out. And President Trump didn't called.

377
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 5: It twelve day war.

378
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 4: The whole initial part of the when Fox is going crazy,

379
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 4: how much they were winning, how much they were winning

380
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 4: on the previous Friday, was a decapitation against the regimes

381
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 4: had because they wanted regime change, and that would require

382
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 4: combat troops, at least commandos. Charlie Kirk understood, as all

383
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 4: of us understood, that's not the defense of Israel. That's

384
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 4: the expansion of this greater Israel, and we can't do it.

385
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 4: As a country. We spent nine trillion dollars in the

386
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 4: Middle East. We've lost ten thousand troops killed in action, right,

387
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 4: another fifty thousand casualties, another five to ten thousand contractors.

388
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 4: So and nine trillon dollars in the country's just not there.

389
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: In the carnage in the in the personal lives.

390
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 4: And personal lives, and and what's happened in the yes,

391
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 4: the PTSD, the suicides, plus what's happened to the country.

392
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 4: My recommendation, and Laura Lumer and Rabbi you know, Rabbi

393
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 4: Wilicky is very close to NFS. He's got a media

394
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 4: thing here. Today's obviously on observation. They're of the opinion,

395
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 4: I am, that Israel has got to become sovereign and

396
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 4: it's it doesn't need our five billion, right. They just

397
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 4: had they sold they sold a ten billion dollars of

398
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 4: arms to Germany the other day. I mean they're a

399
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 4: very sophisticated defense industry, and I think that would take

400
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 4: off the burden because there's going to be more constraints.

401
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 4: And here's why I've always fought, always fought the two

402
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 4: state solutions. I've always thought that Israel just be contiguous.

403
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 4: And now we have a two state solution. You have

404
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 4: a two stations. And the Wall Street journalist wanting the

405
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 4: lead story has this like it's like the Jetsons. It's

406
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 4: this picture of the city of the future. It's got

407
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 4: it's all this stuff, you know, people on airpacs flying around.

408
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 4: It's Gaza. It's a print of a present from a

409
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 4: presentation that Jared and Witkoff just made to some financiers.

410
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 4: I think it's three hundred or four hundred bion dollars

411
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 4: to rebuild Gaza into a Mediterranean you know, resort, but

412
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 4: state of the art, and in that a sixty billion

413
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 4: dollar commitment of the United States for deadfinancing. It's just

414
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 4: not going to happen, you know. They They've got now Katar,

415
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 4: and I'm the most anti quitar guy in the world.

416
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 4: In Qatar, you should understand, has put a lot of

417
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 4: money into Washington, d C. To change the opinion on Qatar.

418
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 4: Qatar is the financier of the Muslim Brotherhood, full stop,

419
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 4: and the Muslim Brotherhood is an absolute enemy to the

420
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 4: Christian West, to our Jewish Judeo Christian civilization, and particularly

421
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 4: to the United States of America. Turkey. Second, so when

422
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 4: President Trump even assigning the designation of terrorism, they did it.

423
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 4: They want to do a study in Jordan, they want

424
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 4: to do a study in Syria, and they want to

425
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 4: do a study in someplace else, leaving off Qatar and Turkey,

426
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 4: which a centerpiece.

427
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 5: So I think that has to go.

428
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 4: So you've now created a to you have a proto

429
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 4: two state solution. In Gaza, you're gonna have two point

430
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 4: two million Palestinians. You're going to have fully financed bike

431
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 4: except for the money they're going to look from us.

432
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 4: But you're talking hundreds of billions of dollars in Turkey,

433
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 4: right who we drove out, you know, Lawrence of Arabian,

434
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 4: the British army in the West drove out of the

435
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 4: Ottoman Empire, drove them out nineteen seventeen. We're basically inviting

436
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 4: the Turks back in who controlled the two Holy sites

437
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 4: in Jerusalem. I think for a half a millennia. We're

438
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 4: inviting them back in as the military. And so when

439
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 4: I look at Ben and I look at Levin, I said,

440
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 4: you guys created this. This was total overreach. And now

441
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 4: you have a two state solution. And President Trump, let's

442
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 4: be honest, they met yesterday in Miami to negotiate Qatar, Egypt,

443
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 4: and Turkey with Jared and with with Coffin. They're they're

444
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 4: what they're negotiating is both Israel and Hamas of both

445
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 4: slow walking trading in arms. And the reason is both

446
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 4: I think realized that yahun Jumas that once once they

447
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 4: get to the conclusion of phase one, they're kind of

448
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 4: out right, it changes over. To me, that's catastrophic. But

449
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 4: that's what brought on. This is why I'm an advocate

450
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 4: and a strong advocate of a Christian state. If you're

451
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 4: going to have two states, if you're going to have

452
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 4: Israel and you're going to have part of Israel is

453
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 4: going to be the beginning of a Palestinian state, which

454
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 4: will be Gaza with the Turks. And cutter to me,

455
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 4: you've got to take the Christian quarter of Jerusalem with Bethlehem,

456
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 4: and we start there. We should have our own, because

457
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 4: I think if you don't get a Christian state in

458
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 4: Israel and get people feeling they have, you know, ownership

459
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 4: of the Holy Land or some obligation as Christians, I'm

460
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 4: not so sure Israel as.

461
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 5: We know it today exists in twenty or thirty years.

462
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,959
Speaker 4: And that's brought on not by people who are the

463
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 4: defenders of Israel. That's brought on by people that bought

464
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 4: into this kind of imperial Israel expansion is Israel that

465
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 4: was backed by what I call the Israel First crowd,

466
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 4: and that Charlie Kirk. You know, people say, well, all

467
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 4: this stuff, you know, Nick Feuentz, and that that's the surface,

468
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 4: and that's kind of the minor leagues. Below is about

469
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 4: the policy, and below you have deep policies on the oligarchs,

470
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 4: on artificial intelligence, on Israel, on the globalists.

471
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 5: About Ukraine.

472
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 4: There are five or six fundamental basic issues about who

473
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 4: governs this country. And one thing I'll tell you about

474
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 4: Charlie is that to his core, although he came of

475
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 4: a very traditional Republican training, to his core he was

476
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 4: a populist nationalist America first and American citizens first, and

477
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 4: that's why he built Turning point like he built it right,

478
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 4: it's you figured out. Let these kids figure it out.

479
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 4: They'll figure it out. And that's the core of populism.

480
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 4: And so that's why last night I thought it was

481
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 4: important to also let me be blunt. I've known Ben

482
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 4: Shapiro a long time, right, I just know him a

483
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 4: long time.

484
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 2: And should you get this one into mic.

485
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 4: Oh, and he's just.

486
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 5: Look listen.

487
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 4: In the particularly in the year fifteen after Andrew died

488
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 4: and I took over Breitbart, we did have a slight

489
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 4: chain ancient editorial policy. It became more America first, it

490
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 4: became more populus. It definitely became more nationalists. If Andrew

491
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 4: had been alive during that time of those transitioner years,

492
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 4: he'd have been right with us. His inclinations were to

493
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 4: do that. Andrew was the central figure of.

494
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 5: The Tea Party.

495
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 4: The Tea Party was kind of the beginning of that.

496
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 4: We didn't really have it formulated, right. We had some

497
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 4: huge election wins. Remember we won sixty three House seats

498
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 4: in twenty ten. Sixty three House seats. Now, most of

499
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 4: those members pretty quickly flipped into the Republican establishment, but

500
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 4: at least it showed you there was a thirst out

501
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 4: there and appetite for peace grasciers.

502
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 5: That want to change and want a pretty fundamental change.

503
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 4: So in fifteen and sixteen, when Trump came along, you know,

504
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 4: Matt Ball, Tony Lee and I was running it, and

505
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 4: he had Joe Pollock and Alex Marlow, you know, all

506
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 4: these people today who are very junior at the time.

507
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 4: And you know, Ben hated Trump and he was open

508
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 4: about that, and I didn't have a problem with that.

509
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 4: I don't have a problem with other voices talking. He

510
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 4: were never part the company but a contractor as an editor.

511
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 5: And then you had this incident in.

512
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 4: Mar Lago, which was a very marginal instant with Corey

513
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 4: Lewandowski in a stringer that we had hired. You know,

514
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 4: he shoved her arm or hand or something like that.

515
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 4: It was very confused.

516
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 7: I believe the testimony was he grabbed her, he suplexed her.

517
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 4: Everywhere, good everywhere. Because it was right before it was

518
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 4: right before Super Tuesday, and they wanted Trump. These guys

519
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 4: were adamant that they had to do something to shop

520
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 4: block Trump, and I just wanted going to stand for it.

521
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 4: So the story goes, he either quit or I fired him,

522
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 4: and there's probably a two minute gap between both of

523
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 4: those happening. But and he said Bannon's turn. Bright Bart

524
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 4: entered Trump Pravda and Megan Kelly, I know she told

525
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 4: the story last night when she asked those questions, which

526
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 4: we would think would be pretty innocuous today. In the

527
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 4: first debate on Fox, of course we went to high Dungeon.

528
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 4: Oh this is awful, and I unleashed the dogs and

529
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 4: to the fact that you know, she had to get security,

530
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 4: and Roger els Comia says, you got to back off.

531
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 5: I go, no, we don't back off.

532
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 4: We have of one.

533
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 5: We have full all ahead flank.

534
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 4: Because it was Trump that they were trying to take out.

535
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 5: Trump, the Bush faction.

536
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 4: You know, Fox is very pro Bush to take you out.

537
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 4: And I said, We're not going to do it. And

538
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 4: that stabilized and breiitpart was his most powerful media thing.

539
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 8: In fact, later Harvard a year after the election, Harvard

540
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 8: did a study on all media in the twenty sixteen

541
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 8: election because they hadn't figured out how they won, and

542
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 8: they realized that with the Pepe's and you know, we had.

543
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 2: Memes, the memoars.

544
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 4: It was the mem wars because Trump really had no

545
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 4: money and had no organization, so he had the Mike Cernovich.

546
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 4: Like Mike Cernovich's the memoirs, the Pepe's were all in

547
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 4: social media. And Hillary Clinton gave an interview about two

548
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 4: months ago. She said, Bannon and those influences at the

549
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,959
Speaker 4: time before influencers were a thing over and she had

550
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 4: a huge operation. We just ran circles around them because

551
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 4: it was self organizing, and people just you know, intense

552
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 4: Trump And they said later that the most the most

553
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 4: important media outlet by an order of magnitude, was not

554
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 4: The New York Times, or not the Washington Post, or

555
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 4: not The Nation or MSNBC, was Breitbart for Trump. And

556
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,959
Speaker 4: I'm very proud of that is why I was selected

557
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 4: to come into the campaign because we were doing such

558
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 4: a I knew nothing about it, only had one hundred

559
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 4: days ago, and he's down on ten points. I didn't

560
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 4: know anything about campaigns. I've never been into a campaign

561
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 4: office of my life. But we specialized in taking down

562
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton, right, and so that was our We had

563
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 4: just done Peter Schweitzer's book, which I worked on with Peter,

564
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 4: and Peter did the research and wrote it. Everything. Clinton

565
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 4: Cash had come out a year before, and Bernie Bros

566
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 4: were looking for a place to go. So we put

567
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 4: a movie out. We made a movie called Clinton Cash.

568
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 4: It's just like a video, but it got like fourteen

569
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 4: million views because put up for free a lot of

570
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 4: Bernie Borroughs. Because remember, if you just get people to

571
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,239
Speaker 4: stay home, that's a vote. If you actually get him

572
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 4: to come and vote for you, that's two votes. And

573
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 4: all we wanted was those kind of Bernie Bros, disaffected

574
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 4: Democrats and union Democrats and independents who lean and working

575
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 4: class of populas who weren't prepared to vote for a

576
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 4: Republican just to stay home, and so we did that.

577
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 4: My point is that then Ben made a big deal

578
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 4: about not voting for Trump in sixteen. You know this

579
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 4: is he was all over thinking. So I just don't

580
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 4: I don't buy it. It's just that they're pushing another agenda,

581
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 4: and that agenda failed, and not just that it failed.

582
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 4: I kept warning them all the time on the show

583
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 4: and behind the scenes, this is going to fail, and

584
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 4: the damage you're going to do to Israel is incalculable.

585
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 4: And now we have it, and now we have a

586
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 4: two state for people that were adamantly against a two

587
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 4: state solution, just to look at the Wall Street Journal today,

588
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 4: they're going to build a city of the future there

589
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 4: with three hundred billion dollars of cut Toiaze money and

590
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 4: other money from the Golf Emirates and from Saudi Arabia,

591
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 4: with a security force led by the Turks that have

592
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 4: Egyptians and Saudi troops on that strip in Israel. So

593
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 4: they brought it on themselves. And so say, I agree

594
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 4: with Lumer. I think Israel ought to get their total sovereignty,

595
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 4: and they're and their total independence of like today in Syria,

596
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 4: will leaky and these and the hardcore guys that kind

597
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 4: of have a vision, they're not for what we're doing

598
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 4: in Syria because the Syrian situation with the isis guy

599
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 4: is really that's a Turkish proxy. That's Ertawan's expansion program.

600
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 4: And so when we're up there siding with them, a

601
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 4: lot of the Israeli is saying, well, hang on, that's

602
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 4: not helping us and not helping the Drews. So I

603
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 4: think they need their total full independence and and and

604
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 4: they'll take care of themselves. They'll they'll get on with

605
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 4: it without constraints the United States.

606
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 2: One of the most common I think they want us

607
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 2: to go with Q and a weed. We've been going for.

608
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 4: Quick did I Did I dominate the microphone?

609
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: That's pain for us. So let me ask one last

610
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: question here though. One of the most common critiques that

611
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 2: I've heard, even just walking the floor of people talk

612
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 2: to me about Israel, but before that as well, is

613
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 2: there's a feeling that from the pro Israel side or

614
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: the you know, even if they are Israelis, but you know,

615
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: it could be Mark Levan, it could be whatever that

616
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 2: they want to get as much out of Trump out

617
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: of these next three years, and it's a feeling like

618
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: they're trying to maximize everything they can, even if it's

619
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 2: going to torpedo the administration. Is that a concern that

620
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 2: you have.

621
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 4: I don't think it's any doubt.

622
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 9: I think.

623
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: Use flash democrats America as a republic, not a democracy.

624
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: The fact check true.

625
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 4: This was my complaint. I went back. You know, I

626
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 4: try to how to say this, not bug the president

627
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 4: by calling you on every topic, et cetera. When we talk,

628
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 4: we talk for a length of time, and I go

629
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 4: see him very very rarely, but when I do, it's

630
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 4: something important. And so people had asked me to come back,

631
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,479
Speaker 4: and I want back two days before the bombing, and

632
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 4: we'd spent I do like three or four hours and

633
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 4: with President Trump. One thing I will tell you he

634
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 4: is the out of my experience at Goldman Sachs. Of

635
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 4: the Goldman Sachs you're there to work with CEOs and chairman, right,

636
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 4: he is one of the best listeners. When you're in

637
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 4: a meeting with him, He's not like talking all the time.

638
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 4: He wants to hear what you have to say, competing ideas.

639
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 4: He asked questions and he takes it on board. So

640
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 4: we spent a lot of time that day. And when

641
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 4: I got there, who is there working? Who was in

642
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 4: the I got to the west I got to the

643
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 4: west wing a couple hours early. The person had set

644
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 4: up the meeting the lunch had asked me to come

645
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 4: a couple hours early. And I walk in and who's

646
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 4: sitting right there? Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk had been there

647
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 4: on and off for two weeks. Right, You guys had

648
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 4: to juggle all this stuff. And when Charlie was back

649
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 4: at the White House, Charlie's working twelve and fourteen hour days.

650
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 4: Part of it was still vetting and helping people to vet,

651
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 4: but a lot of it was working on ideas that

652
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 4: he felt the administration had to capture on this one.

653
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 4: When I got there, we've been talking and he had

654
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 4: a very definitive plan on this very topic. I mean,

655
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 4: this was about because the thing, and he was adamant

656
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 4: like I was, we could not allow ourselves to be

657
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 4: pulled in to a regime change war.

658
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 5: Also about regime change.

659
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 4: You know this from our work on the CCP, which

660
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 4: you guys have been part of. I don't believe you

661
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 4: can do regime change from the top. You can't go

662
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 4: into decampitation. We can't just go in and take out

663
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 4: the Chinese Countries party. We just can't go out and

664
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 4: take out the Mulas. We can't. I'm not a big

665
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 4: believer you just can go and take Madua out. Other

666
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 4: people have different theories, and sometimes it works and sometimes

667
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 4: it doesn't. But you saw this in Vietnam when we

668
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 4: were in had a big commitment, and all of a

669
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 4: sudden it wasn't working out for us.

670
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 5: It wasn't going What do we do?

671
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 4: The CIA assassinated DM and then what happened a complete

672
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 4: disaster for their country and our country.

673
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 5: Change has to come from the bottom.

674
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 4: I'm all for cutting off all the oil, not allowing

675
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 4: any of the mula's oils to go to the Chinese

676
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 4: country's party to cut them off, and so then you

677
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 4: get revolutionary change, a decapitation right strike that then would

678
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 4: lead to some civil war. Internally, we're going to get

679
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 4: pulled into that, and that's a ten or twenty year

680
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 4: process with a ton of American cash troops, but more

681
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,959
Speaker 4: importantly a time, it's opportunity costs. We have so many

682
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 4: problems here that we have to solve. We don't have

683
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 4: the ability to get the public's attention, but more just

684
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 4: the work of people there because they're working sixteen eighteen

685
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 4: hour days anyway, they need all that energy to solve

686
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 4: you know, your rank order things. And Charlie was a

687
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 4: huge believer in this, and so no, I would say

688
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 4: that there's no doubt that they're trying.

689
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 2: That was the biggest one chance. They're trying to take

690
00:34:59,239 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 2: the logic.

691
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 4: But by President Trump, here's the beauty of President Trump.

692
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 4: He really thought through how to end it. Remember, not

693
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 4: till he ended he came out and named it was

694
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 4: a twelve day war. When President Trump puts a brand

695
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 4: on it, the brand sticks. Okay, it ain't a thirteen

696
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 4: day wars, they're gonna be thirty day war. And he

697
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 4: was adamant. And then when net Yahoo because remember net

698
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 4: Ya who decapitated the team that wick Off is negotiating

699
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 4: with the Iranians on that first night. And then when

700
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 4: when Netnya who tried to go and decapitate the team

701
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 4: negotiating for Hamas and Qatar, it crossed the line with Trump.

702
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 4: Ever since then, just reality Israel has been kind of

703
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 4: a side showing this. It's all been working the thing.

704
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 4: And now now we found out last night in North

705
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,720
Speaker 4: Carolina there is no meeting scheduled over Christmas with Netanyahu.

706
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 4: It's something he's thinking about in the press. Is I'm

707
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 4: gonna get it on the books. But this is how

708
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 4: it's kind of gone. It's a signal. And so for

709
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 4: those for and there's listen, they're adamant, it's going to

710
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 4: be their way. They're not going to back off this

711
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 4: greater Israel project. They're not going to back off Israel. First,

712
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 4: you're going to have you know, we're gonna have all

713
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 4: kind of things. That's fine, but we have to be adamant.

714
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 4: It's done. You guys brought it on. I don't like it.

715
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 4: I don't agree with it, but there's a Palestinian state

716
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 4: going to be set up with Cutter and Turkey. That's

717
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 4: going to happen, and we have to figure out how

718
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 4: to work around that. And so no, I think there's

719
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 4: going to be and I think if you walk around

720
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 4: here and just talk to people, you'll get to feel

721
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 4: that certain forces are trying to get the most out

722
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 4: of it in the time, and we have to be

723
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 4: ever vigilant to make sure. Yeah. And it's also about

724
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 4: the access to the president to information. That's one of

725
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 4: the great things about that.

726
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 2: This is a huge, untold part of the Trump admin.

727
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 2: Trump to well you know who.

728
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 5: You know who knew that better than anybody, Charlie Kirkli. Listen,

729
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 5: you have an.

730
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 4: Operation that could put on a thirty oneth that could

731
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 4: double the size of already the most important conference in

732
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 4: all the world for conservatives, and you double the size

733
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 4: of that in a couple of weeks. Given the tragedy

734
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 4: you guys had and the work you have to do

735
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 4: to keep the show going at the level and Erica

736
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 4: everything on her plate, and you can do it. And

737
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 4: Charlie built that organization, had all that and was starting

738
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 4: to did the college stour in the spring and start

739
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 4: another one? Like I told you, I said, dude, do

740
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 4: you need another college stour in the fall. You're doing

741
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 4: so much. And when he's back in the White House,

742
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 4: it's not just for getting people on board, it's the

743
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 4: exact thing. It's making sure when I said he's a networker,

744
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 4: Charlie was always making sure that the right people at

745
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 4: the right time, with Sergio were getting from the President

746
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 4: that lunch. They had tried to schedule that lunch for

747
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 4: months and I just wasn't in DC that much. And

748
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 4: it was Sergia that came to me and Charlie was

749
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 4: working there the week before and said, hey, we need

750
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 4: you here on Thursday. It's blocked out, and I go, okay,

751
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 4: this are the things that the shooting started. Says it's

752
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 4: Thursday at noon, but come or come right for the

753
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 4: show at noon and we'll get you in there at

754
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 4: one o one thirty and we'll be here. Because Charlie

755
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 4: was working with Sergio to make sure the President was

756
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 4: getting a broader access. And another person who works on

757
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 4: this too is the Vice President. The Vice President's team

758
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 4: Sarabian and those guys constantly try to get more voices

759
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 4: in front of the president, and so I think that

760
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 4: that is a thing we have to fight going forward.

761
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get some Q and A. That's great, Steve,

762
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 2: thank you. Q and A. Do we have a microphone yet?

763
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 4: Does that explain what I was trying to do last night? Yeah,

764
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 4: leaving out the nasty snarky part, which you know me,

765
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 4: I gotta go there. Charlie was very classy.

766
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 2: I got I'm going to tell this story about when

767
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: we start the when we started the handoff, and I go,

768
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 2: so you're gonna mention it.

769
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 10: Wow, I'm mister Bannon.

770
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 11: My name is Emma. My dad loves your show. We

771
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 11: watch you every day.

772
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 4: So as somebody your your dad's a man of discernment.

773
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:44,919
Speaker 10: So somebody who was born in two thousand and three,

774
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 10: I was a day old when Mosama bin Latin was killed.

775
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 10: It feels like my entire life it's been this confusing

776
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 10: mess of endless wars.

777
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 11: In the Middle East.

778
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 10: Other than as a Christian, I do want to protect

779
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 10: our holy sites. Why does it feel like even in

780
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 10: the conservative movement, we're constantly being dragged into all of

781
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 10: these conflicts rather than focusing on all of our problems

782
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 10: here and worrying about the midterms and putting America and

783
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 10: American citizens first.

784
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 4: So it's a great question.

785
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 5: It's a great question from the mouth of Babes.

786
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 4: One of the issues, one of the biggest issues, and

787
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 4: it seems like is that so many of the problems

788
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 4: that we have failed to solve are gotten dragged into,

789
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 4: have blown back and have come here now. I mean,

790
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 4: the central issue we have today is who actually runs

791
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 4: the country right, who makes the decisions, who actually empowers

792
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 4: the chief executive to make?

793
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 5: And this is why the big.

794
00:39:38,280 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 4: Focus on his Article two powers. I mean, the central

795
00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 4: issue we have today is who actually runs the country right,

796
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 4: who makes the decisions, who actually empowers the chief executive

797
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 4: to make? And this is why the big focus on

798
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 4: is Article two powers. What are those powers? You watch

799
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 4: a show We've been adamant about that. That was one

800
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 4: of the things in the years in the Wilderness that

801
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 4: russ Vote and guys came up with that we got

802
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 4: to maximize the Article two powers of the chief executive

803
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 4: because that's ways to get things done, particularly in crisis.

804
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 4: You still have a network, this kind of globalist system

805
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 4: that people make an awful lot of money and have

806
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 4: an awful lot of power, and having the United States

807
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 4: is the kind of the security guarantee around the world.

808
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,760
Speaker 4: If you look at just take the Eurasian landmass quickly,

809
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 4: you look from Europe to the Golf and the Golf Emirates,

810
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 4: the Middle East around to the South China Sea, and

811
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 4: then up to Japan and Korea. Those four big nodes

812
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 4: are the basic trading.

813
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 5: Parties of the United States.

814
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 4: We have trading relationships, commercial relationships, capital markets. But it's

815
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 4: also an American security guarantee. We have NATO, We're in

816
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 4: the Middle East, and this is why we have a

817
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 4: one point tree in two treeon dollar defense budget. Now

818
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 4: those trade deals are upside down because we've shipped all

819
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 4: the jobs. It's worked to the detriment of the American people,

820
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 4: the middle class and working class. But the elites have

821
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 4: made a tremendous amount of money in this system, and

822
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 4: they continue to make a tremendous amount of money in

823
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 4: the system, and they're going to continue that until we

824
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 4: actually take power away from them. And that's one of

825
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 4: the reasons I fight. So they always want to focus

826
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 4: on everywhere else, and quite frankly, they don't care. They

827
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 4: just don't they don't care about the American worker, they

828
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 4: don't care about the American family. And you can tell

829
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 4: this by their policies of immigration. They're always trying to

830
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 4: whether it's whether it's massive legal immigration from Mexico and

831
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 4: from Latin America to drive down the wages of African

832
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 4: Americans and Hispanic American citizens at the lower end are

833
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 4: flooding the zone with these bogus HEB visa and all

834
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 4: these visa programs so that kids coming out of college

835
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 4: have to compete against the world here in the United

836
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 4: States and drive their wages down fifty percent. So the

837
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 4: problems that we have been involved in the world have

838
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 4: kind of come back to us. One of the biggest

839
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 4: problems we have here today is that we've looked the

840
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 4: other way for years on this Marxist jihadist coalition and

841
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 4: this red green coalition that people like Frank Gaffney and

842
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 4: Trevor Laud and others have been warning people about for

843
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 4: twenty or thirty years is now reality. You see that

844
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 4: in New York City with the new elected mayor. You

845
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 4: see that in Chicago where they forced out Ice. You

846
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 4: see it in LA You're seeing these sanctuary cities that

847
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 4: are basically independent, and we have fifteen or twenty million

848
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 4: illegal aliens here and they're not about to be deported.

849
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 4: In fact, they're going to do everything to stop that.

850
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 4: That's the forces. And now this is why we're making

851
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 4: such a big deal about Texas. In Texas, and we

852
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 4: had on the show today in the audience one of

853
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 4: the women fighting this in the United Kingdom, because people

854
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 4: in the United Kingdom will tell you in England and

855
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 4: in France, they're five or ten years away from a

856
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 4: civil war. Right, they've allowed it to go on so long,

857
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 4: and so we have to nip in the butt. We've

858
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 4: allowed it to get out of control. In Dearborn, Michigan,

859
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 4: it's going to be very.

860
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 2: Tough to deal with Minnesota.

861
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 4: In Minnesota looking into Samians.

862
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 5: In Texas, it's just beginning.

863
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 4: They're building two mosque a month, and here's Harris. Harris

864
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 4: County and Tarrant County are the two county. They realize

865
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 4: if they can take over Arrant County and Harris County,

866
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 4: they can flip Texas. And if they flip Texas, we

867
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 4: can never win again. So that's why on the On

868
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 4: On On, I just announced mort January ninth, because this

869
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 4: is how we play at the war room. We're bringing girt.

870
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 4: We're bringing grit builders, the hardest core anti Islamist in Europe,

871
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 4: the Netherlands, a guy that has been hardcore. We're bringing

872
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 4: him to Plano, Texas on the ninth and we're throwing

873
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 4: down hard. We're having him as a speaker. They're they're

874
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 4: they're gonna go crazy. Look the message of Charlie Kirk

875
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 4: and his work, if you cut through everything, is that Charlie.

876
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 4: And this is why I said last night. He's a

877
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 4: He's a Christian martyr and therefore a Christian saint even

878
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 4: more than an American patriot. He understood that the country's

879
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 4: gone through a decristization process over the last sixty seventy

880
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 4: eighty years, in that the purpose of power is not

881
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 4: power for power's sake. The purpose for power is the

882
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 4: re Christianization of our institutions. And that is the work

883
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 4: that is the task for us at hand. And so

884
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 4: I think that, and I think we can not just think.

885
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 4: I know we can do it. We've won seven of

886
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 4: the last eight. They will never tell you that since

887
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,720
Speaker 4: since twenty fifteen, when Trump really came on the scene,

888
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 4: there have been eight national elections, either primaries off your elections,

889
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 4: which is a national election for congress, or presidential elections.

890
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 4: We've had eight, we've won seven, okay, and I'm telling

891
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 4: you we can. It's very doable for us to win

892
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 4: this year. And here's why.

893
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 5: I believe the bets we've made in the.

894
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 4: Economy are going to stop paying off. And that's when

895
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 4: it's going to get ugly. When they can't fall back

896
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 4: on affordability or playing by the rules in some economic argument.

897
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 4: It's going to get Charlie Kirk type of nasty the

898
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 4: way they treated him everywhere he went. So we just

899
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 4: have to hunker down. Understand, we had one of the

900
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 4: greatest leaders. I think if you look at history that

901
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 4: Charlie is as close to the Revolutionary generation where you

902
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 4: had many of the stars of the Revolutionary generation were

903
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 4: in their twenties, late early twenties to maybe early thirties.

904
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 4: Charlie Kirk has had more impact on our country for

905
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 4: his age than anybody really from the Revolutionary generation. So

906
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 4: you guys have here, right, So you know, we have

907
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 4: to pick up the mantle. It's a you know, cry

908
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 4: havoc and unleash the dogs of information war. So well said,

909
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 4: great question exactly.

910
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 3: I'm mister Bannon.

911
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 2: My name is Cole.

912
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 3: I am a high school senior, and I plan to

913
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 3: ship out for Marine Corps boot camp this summer. Amen,

914
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 3: I was wondering what your advice would be to find

915
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 3: political and just general success following military service.

916
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 2: Thank you what I would do?

917
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 4: You're making the every time I talk to audiences, I

918
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 4: say do this. I served eight years in It's just

919
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 4: just go out. The first thing you should do is

920
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 4: either in list or if you're in college, go be

921
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 4: an officer in the military.

922
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 5: And here's why.

923
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 4: The most formative decade of your life is your twenties.

924
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 4: That's one of the reasons of the crisis we have

925
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 4: today because we are taking away opportunities from people in

926
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 4: this late family formation, late home ownership, and even learning

927
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 4: you know, as an apprentice, as an artisan a profession

928
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 4: in your twenties. The best thing you can do is

929
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 4: in the military. Don't worry about your political future going forward.

930
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 5: Just hit it every day.

931
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 4: Take as many tough assignments as travel the world. If

932
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 4: you've got an assignment that takes your overseas, take it.

933
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 4: If you've got something that's particularly hazardous, take it. That

934
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 4: building of your character is everything in that decade, and

935
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 4: you're going to a place that is one of the

936
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 4: finest institution. Remember two hundred and fifty years is like

937
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 4: the Woryal Navy. Why is the Marine Corps so special?

938
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 4: Because the Marine Corps is going to strip you down

939
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 4: of all your false ego and get back to.

940
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 2: The core of your character.

941
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,280
Speaker 4: And it's a tough process, but they're going to build

942
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 4: back up through daily actions and daily you're holding yourself

943
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 4: accountable and working as a team. Remember in the war room,

944
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 4: when somebody comes to work for me, I make them

945
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 4: watch a film called twelve o'clock High. It's about the

946
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 4: eighth Air Corps in the first days of World War Two,

947
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:42,760
Speaker 4: about in situations like this, it's all about working together

948
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 4: as a team, right, as imperfect as you are, and

949
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 4: the sacrifices that have to come with that, because working

950
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 4: as a team means supplemating some natural human tendencies. The

951
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 4: Marine Corps is the perfect institution. You know, as a

952
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 4: naval officer, we're pretty good, and the Army's pretty good,

953
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 4: but the Marine Corps has perfected taking basic American citizens,

954
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 4: young kids and turning them into something.

955
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 5: That's very special and very lethal.

956
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 4: So don't worry about your career going forward. Maximize every

957
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 4: day you're in the corps and you'll turn out fine.

958
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Steve Dan and everyone, Yes, thank you Steve.

959
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 5: Thank you guys.

960
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 4: By the way, I'm so proud of what you guys

961
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 4: have accomplished and all the grief you've gotten and all

962
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 4: the hate you've gotten. It is amazing this conference. Look

963
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 4: at the energy, look at the kids wearing good hands. Amen.

964
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 2: Thank you Steve. Oh hey, Riley, I was going to

965
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 2: give you a formal introduction. Go back, go back, No,

966
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 2: you can come in. Is everybody having a good time?

967
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 2: Are we excited about Riley Gaines? The Riley Gaines, formerly

968
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 2: known as an All American swimmer and now known as

969
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 2: just an all around amazing person, an amazing American and

970
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 2: advocate for women's rights. What aren't you known for now

971
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 2: being a man. And she's quick on her feet too,

972
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, but not just in the swimming pool.

973
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 12: That was like, yeah, well that's why I went to

974
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 12: swimming is because I didn't have to be quick on

975
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:17,919
Speaker 12: my feet, not.

976
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 11: Have to be very like agile.

977
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 2: It's all in the water.

978
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: Water letting everyone out. Socialism sucks the Charlie Kirk show.

979
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 11: The swimmers were typically not that good at land sports

980
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 11: get bad.

981
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, So, Riley Gaines, you have had a a

982
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 2: front row seat to Charlie Kirk to Turning Point for

983
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 2: I think like three years now, basically, is it three years?

984
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 2: Yeah and a half?

985
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, three yeah, almost Yeah, I guess I spoke

986
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 12: out in March of twenty twenty two, so gosh, three

987
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:07,720
Speaker 12: and a half.

988
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 11: Turning Point was very quick to.

989
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 12: Offer me guidance and resources and encouragement in a time

990
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 12: where I knew nothing, honestly, nothing about the political sphere,

991
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 12: nothing about our government. I'm ashamed to say it never

992
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 12: took a government course. I mean I literally knew we

993
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 12: had three branches, and that was the extent of my knowledge.

994
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 12: Didn't know what they did. I still don't know what

995
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 12: they do. I don't even think they know what they

996
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 12: do half the time.

997
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why they all retire before fas exactly.

998
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 12: But Turning Point and Charlie specifically was very quick to

999
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 12: reach out in a way that was different than other

1000
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 12: people who were reaching out. And I feel like I

1001
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 12: have a fairly decent amount of discernment and very self

1002
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 12: aware and can pick things out in a time where

1003
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 12: it was I guess politically expedient the topic of keeping

1004
00:51:58,520 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 12: men out of women's sports.

1005
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:01,720
Speaker 11: There were lots of people who.

1006
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 12: Claimed the slogans of faith, family, and freedom who were

1007
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 12: quick to reach out. But I could see it as

1008
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 12: they were using our experience as an opportunity to capitalize,

1009
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 12: which I even appreciated at the time, because anyone talking

1010
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 12: about it was a good thing in my eyes. But

1011
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 12: when Charlie and Turning Point reached out.

1012
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 11: It was different.

1013
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 12: It was in a way and an effort to make

1014
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 12: sure that I was okay as a human being, because

1015
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 12: Charlie understood, like I know, it's hard to read these

1016
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 12: things that are being said online about you.

1017
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 11: We just want to make sure you're okay.

1018
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 12: We're here for you, different than anyone else who had

1019
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 12: reached out. So it was a very quick, I think

1020
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 12: relationship that had been developed between myself and Turning Point,

1021
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 12: and one that has really fostered and grown over the

1022
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:44,240
Speaker 12: past three years.

1023
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 2: Well, you've been an amazing advocate for not only Turning Point,

1024
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 2: but for not only women's rights, and you know, obviously

1025
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 2: for protecting women's sports and all of these things, but

1026
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 2: you have become a political powerhouse, protecting women's sports and

1027
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 2: all of these things. But you have become a political powerhouse.

1028
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 2: You have become somebody that a lot of politicians want

1029
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 2: to bring to Washington, d c. And testify at their

1030
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 2: committee hearings or get behind their campaign. And what's fascinating

1031
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 2: to me is that despite all of these things that

1032
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 2: you could do with your time, I have seen you

1033
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 2: more and more and more at college campuses. You had

1034
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 2: that terrifying experience at San Francisco State University, which was

1035
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 2: speaking at a turning point chapter. You had every excuse

1036
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 2: to not double and triple down on the campus activism

1037
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 2: and doing the things that Charlie was doing. I remember

1038
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 2: you were at you went back to San Francisco State, right,

1039
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 2: and you did a proven wrong with Charlie was last year, Yeah,

1040
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 2: yeah it was. And so you have not shied away,

1041
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 2: you have not shrunk back. You have gone even harder.

1042
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 11: Well, we can't write otherwise. I mean you think about it.

1043
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 12: You think about all of the different spheres that the

1044
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 12: left has acquired and runs, certainly media, mainstream media, of

1045
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 12: these academic institutions, healthcare, even which is supposed to be

1046
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 12: a place that is totally not biased or have anything

1047
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 12: to do with the polarization and the politicization that we've

1048
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,280
Speaker 12: seen even in health care, our government.

1049
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 11: The list goes on. They've acquired all of these spheres.

1050
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 12: So of course, anything that I can do, as just

1051
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 12: say one person as a Now, I don't know if

1052
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,240
Speaker 12: I can call myself a recent graduate.

1053
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 11: I'm getting kind of old, but a yeah, I.

1054
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 12: Know me at the ripe age of twenty five, I'm

1055
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 12: like married with children.

1056
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 11: Now I'm getting up there.

1057
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 12: But anything that I can do, goodness gracious, I'm willing

1058
00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 12: to do it.

1059
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 11: My husban and I we welcomed our daughter into.

1060
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 12: This world about ten weeks ago, which is super cool.

1061
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 12: But even in those ten weeks, seeing the necessity and

1062
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,760
Speaker 12: the urgency of getting on campuses, high school campuses, college campuses,

1063
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 12: and so she went with me to ten different campuses.

1064
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 12: Even this semester, she's traveled to fifteen states. She's met

1065
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 12: the President, she's been to the White House, she's been

1066
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 12: to mar A Lago. She's going to be really dangerous

1067
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 12: at two truths and a lie one day. So all

1068
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:36,280
Speaker 12: that to say to speak to the importance, of course

1069
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 12: of campus activism and reaching the youth, but also to

1070
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 12: speak to motherhood as well, and how I think the

1071
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 12: best way to describe our little baby girl Margo at

1072
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 12: this point in her life is portable and adaptable. And

1073
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 12: your life doesn't end when you have children. What I

1074
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 12: have found to be the case, and certainly what what

1075
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 12: Charlie spoke to, is your life really begins when you

1076
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 12: have kids, especially.

1077
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 11: A little girl. Gosh, I look at her.

1078
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 12: And it's just the most magical transformative thing I think

1079
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 12: that as a woman you could possibly go through is.

1080
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 11: Being a mom.

1081
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, and I remember when we had our first

1082
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 2: our daughter, she's seven now, but she we were like,

1083
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 2: you know, you're kind of like a accessory. We can

1084
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 2: just sort of Yeah, it's like a handbag. We can

1085
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 2: take you with wherever you want. Well, it gets trickier

1086
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 2: with two, I will say, because then you got to

1087
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,399
Speaker 2: play a little man on man defense. The third then

1088
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 2: it's like zone.

1089
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, you're out numbered. At that point, you're out numbered.

1090
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 12: Yeah, but it's so true, like you'll figure it out,

1091
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:39,280
Speaker 12: you know. I've realized, like it's pretty hard to kill them,

1092
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 12: Like she doesn't want to die, and I don't want

1093
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 12: her to die.

1094
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 2: Therefore, like I'm not convinced they don't want to die.

1095
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 2: I feel like it's like a you know, like the

1096
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 2: the you know, let's put our finger in the socket,

1097
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 2: or she's run downhill when we can barely walk, lots

1098
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,880
Speaker 2: of different things. Yeah, we'll get they are pretty resilient creatures.

1099
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 2: Yes they are.

1100
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 12: So she rocks, she's here, she's an amphis so she

1101
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 12: can now say, I don't know, she might be the

1102
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 12: youngest person at AMFES.

1103
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 11: We have a lot I know, I know, I've seen

1104
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:08,240
Speaker 11: a bunch.

1105
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 2: Of little bit I think this is a weird way

1106
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 2: to say. We have a nursing room because they're nursing

1107
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 2: mothers here at so we want to make sure they

1108
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 2: have a place too. So but yeah, we encourage families

1109
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 2: with very pro family, pro family, even in the in

1110
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 2: the workplace. Daisy's about to have a baby, so give

1111
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 2: it up for Daisy. She's around here somewhere. Marina, our

1112
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 2: CMO is about to have a baby, and I'm terrified

1113
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 2: of both of them going on maternity, so pray for us.

1114
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 12: Which turning point now, I actually spoke to this on

1115
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 12: stage they and I think this is important in the

1116
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 12: context of understanding how yes, of course the values that Charlie.

1117
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 11: And Turning Point stands for are pro.

1118
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 12: Life, but so much so that in pro life it

1119
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 12: is not just the baby in the womb, it's supporting

1120
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 12: moms before, during, and after pregnancy.

1121
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 11: And so one of the super.

1122
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 12: Awesome things about Turning Point and what they've implemented, what

1123
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 12: Charlie was working on prior to his assassination, his murder,

1124
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 12: but what they've implemented after is a six month maternity

1125
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 12: to leave policy for Turning Point employees if you've been

1126
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 12: at the company for a certain amount of time, and

1127
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 12: so you'd be really hard pressed to find that sort

1128
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 12: of policy anywhere else in any realm, any career. And

1129
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 12: so again it shows how it's not just words or

1130
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 12: a slogan, like these are things they really mean and

1131
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 12: they really live by.

1132
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:27,919
Speaker 11: So I think that's super awesome.

1133
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 2: If you're going to go as hard in the paint

1134
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 2: as Turning Point and Charlie have about having babies and

1135
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 2: getting married, you probably should put your money where you're

1136
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 2: with this. I think that's only fair people to start

1137
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 2: calling out theological inconsistencies. But no, we are super you know,

1138
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 2: and it's fun having those conversations with Daisy and Marina,

1139
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 2: it's like, listen, whatever you've got to do, like that

1140
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,919
Speaker 2: is the most important thing. And keeping the first things,

1141
00:58:47,920 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 2: the first things so talk about because one of the things,

1142
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 2: I mean, when Charlie was assassinated, you know, I think

1143
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 2: Blake and I were so close to it that I mean,

1144
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 2: it was I saw all this media and I could

1145
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 2: barely look at it. Honestly, I barely opened my phone

1146
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 2: for the first couple of days. And as a matter

1147
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 2: of fact, I got so many phone calls and text

1148
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 2: that my phone stopped working, and I was kind of

1149
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 2: huddled in this It felt like a bunker, you know,

1150
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 2: just trying to do the every fifteen minutes, just get

1151
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 2: through every fifteen minutes. And you know, you were one

1152
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 2: of those people that I noticed in the immediate aftermath

1153
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 2: that you just stepped up and you did more things.

1154
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 2: It felt like I saw you more vocal, I saw

1155
00:59:57,160 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 2: you more. You were defending Charlie, you were advocating on

1156
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 2: behalf of the organization, on behalf of the country. You

1157
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 2: were speaking out. Tell me what it was like for

1158
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 2: you to be in your position in the media aftermath,

1159
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 2: What was the reaction and where's your headspace now?

1160
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 11: It's one of those.

1161
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 12: Moments where, of course you'll never forget where you were, which,

1162
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 12: being twenty five, I don't.

1163
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 11: I don't think I have too many of those in

1164
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 11: my life.

1165
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 12: First, when President Trump was shot and now this, I

1166
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 12: was actually in line at Chick fil A. I was

1167
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 12: in the Chick fil A line, don't tell Aux Clark,

1168
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 12: and I was inside the building and I was wedding

1169
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 12: in line, And actually it was I was getting a

1170
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 12: call from my boss at Fox, and I didn't think

1171
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 12: anything of it. I was out doing stuff about to order.

1172
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 12: Didn't answer my phone. I get another call, he called

1173
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 12: right back. Still didn't answer, and I get a text

1174
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 12: and said, hey, are you okay?

1175
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 11: Are you in Utah?

1176
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 12: And I knew, of course about Charlie's campus stops, and

1177
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 12: I'd been falling online very excited. Bear in mind, at

1178
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 12: this point I was thirty eight weeks pregnant or so right,

1179
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 12: and so you know, by all means and the chaotic

1180
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 12: and unconventional schedule and career, I guess that I have

1181
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 12: like maternity leave, whatever that means. Anyways, in line, are

1182
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 12: you okay or are you in Utah? Didn't cross my mind,

1183
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 12: and so at this point I call him back I'm like, Hey,

1184
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 12: what's up. He's like, I'm so sorry. And at this

1185
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 12: point I had no idea what he was talking about.

1186
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 12: I'm like, what's going on. He says, Charlie's been shot

1187
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 12: and it doesn't look good. And it was at that point,

1188
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 12: you know, even still saying that out loud, it gives

1189
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 12: you just chills over your body. It was at that

1190
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 12: point I went to X and I opened X, which

1191
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 12: I wish desperately I never did, because you're immediately met

1192
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 12: with a video and I had convinced myself that it

1193
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 12: was a I honestly, I'm like.

1194
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 11: Oh, that's not real, Like that can't be real. I

1195
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 11: turn off my phone.

1196
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 12: I was in the you know, a few hours following that,

1197
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 12: you hear the news that his life was prematurely ended

1198
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 12: by a coward. Initially, it's total shock, right, and just disbelief,

1199
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 12: disbelief that something like that could happen, that he's really gone,

1200
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 12: disbelief that in the immediate you're seeing people online who

1201
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 12: are celebrating, like total disbelief.

1202
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 11: And then that night you go to.

1203
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 12: Bed and you really can't go to bed, and you

1204
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 12: just think of Erica and you're thinking of his children,

1205
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 12: you're thinking of the future of the company. There are

1206
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 12: so many questions, how you know, what does this mean

1207
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 12: for the nation? He was such a profound and important

1208
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 12: and influential, the most effective of voices for our time,

1209
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 12: and he's gone, What does this mean?

1210
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 11: And so it was.

1211
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 12: Kind of like eight hours of like you're in and

1212
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 12: out of sleep. You're kind of like in this constant

1213
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 12: state of prayer.

1214
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:44,959
Speaker 11: It was really weird.

1215
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 12: And then it turns to grief and tearfulness in the

1216
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 12: next few days, and then it turns to anger, honestly,

1217
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 12: and rage again. When you see the things that were

1218
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 12: being said online by peers, even knowing what they thought

1219
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 12: about Charlie and his assassination, it makes you think, well, gosh,

1220
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 12: what would they say if I was assassinated. These are

1221
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 12: people who I know in my life and they're celebrating this.

1222
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 12: Healthcare workers, government employees, school teachers, the people who are

1223
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 12: trusted to educate your children, celebrating this, who you trust

1224
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 12: to save your life if you were in a a

1225
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 12: dire medical situation. They're celebrating death. But I will say

1226
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 12: I went to the memorial service, which was on my

1227
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 12: due date, so you can imagine my obgy n when

1228
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 12: I tell him, hey, I've got to.

1229
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 11: Get on a plane.

1230
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 12: Actually, at forty weeks pregnant, he honestly totally understood. He's like, look, Riley,

1231
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 12: this is like it's our nation's wist. I'm going to

1232
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 12: print out your paperwork for you. God forbid you give

1233
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 12: birth in Arizona.

1234
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 11: Here's your papers. Go to a hospital.

1235
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 12: Don't know what to do if you give birth on

1236
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 12: the plane. Tell your husband to watch YouTube videos before

1237
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 12: you take off. I still remember being angry though, honestly,

1238
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 12: walking into the memorial service, but watching as Erica well, first,

1239
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 12: it was so cool to see so many publicly elected

1240
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 12: officials proclaim the name of the Lord in front of

1241
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 12: I mean tens of thousands who were there, but millions who.

1242
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 11: Were watching online. That was amazing.

1243
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 12: But to see Erica and what you have to imagine

1244
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 12: is the hardest moment of her life forgive her husband's

1245
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 12: assassin eleven days.

1246
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 11: I think it was after he was murdered.

1247
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 12: Like, what a beautiful display of forgiveness, of strength, of

1248
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 12: compassion that I think only God can provide a grieving widow.

1249
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 11: So soon after her husband had been killed.

1250
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 12: And so that was kind of like a pivotal point

1251
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 12: where it wasn't really angry anymore.

1252
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 11: Of course, there's still.

1253
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 12: The level of disbelief in grief, of course, but it

1254
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 12: was feelings of hope and optimism and inspiration for the future.

1255
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 12: And that's where I'm at now, of course, being here

1256
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 12: at amfesteeing so many people, young people, especially in the audience,

1257
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 12: smiling ear to ear. We just did the student meet

1258
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 12: and greet and they estimated there were two thousand kids

1259
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 12: lined up to say hi to me, which is like

1260
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 12: the craziest thing ever. I've literally only said there are

1261
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 12: two sexes, Like, I don't know, I'm really not that cool.

1262
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 7: Did you do that when you were in third grade?

1263
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 7: They're like, what do you want to be when you

1264
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 7: grow up? I want to be famous for saying there

1265
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 7: are boys and girls.

1266
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 2: That's actually cute. Riley did that.

1267
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 11: In kindergarten, So yeah, third grade was way too late.

1268
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 2: Then you had your baby.

1269
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 11: Then we had the.

1270
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 12: Baby, which that whole process was and is still just

1271
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 12: the coolest, most fulfilling, purposeful, satisfactory thing, I will say

1272
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 12: I honestly. Of course, one of Charlie's messages that he

1273
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 12: gave on campuses and beyond was to have kids, get married,

1274
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 12: have kids as young as you possibly can in your

1275
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 12: married life, and as many as you possibly can.

1276
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 11: I was scared to get pregnant.

1277
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 12: I think a lot of women really are, because you

1278
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 12: hear all these awful horror stories of pregnancy and the delivery,

1279
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 12: and then you'll be sleep deprived for the rest of

1280
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 12: your life to infinity once you have a newborn.

1281
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 11: I'm here to.

1282
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 12: Say none of those things happened to me, None of them.

1283
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 12: I had the best pregnancy ever, no warning sickness, no tire,

1284
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 12: no fatigue, no aversions, no nothing. I literally lived my

1285
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 12: life as I did prior to conception. The labor and

1286
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 12: delivery process a breeze. She was here in like ten minutes, easy, peasy.

1287
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 12: And now I know there's like so many moms who

1288
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,440
Speaker 12: are like, shut up, I hate you, but.

1289
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 11: I think it's important.

1290
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 2: Do you have a security barrier right here? Because I'm

1291
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 2: gad to get the stage rushed.

1292
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 12: I think, honestly, it's important for women to hear that

1293
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 12: there are.

1294
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 11: Good stories too.

1295
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 12: I totally and we live in this and that's not

1296
01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 12: to discount the things that can potentially have happened and

1297
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 12: do happen to women. I'm not here to discount that,

1298
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 12: but I am here to say my experience was not

1299
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 12: like that at all. And my baby, I think we

1300
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 12: just gave birth to a perfect little human. She has

1301
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 12: slept fully through the night since day one.

1302
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 11: Nember one time. I know, I didn't like knock on wood,

1303
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 11: Like seriously.

1304
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 12: Security right now, everyone says, just wait until the second

1305
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 12: which I'm a second child, so if you know, karma

1306
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 12: is real, it's coming after me hard.

1307
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 11: But it's been a dream.

1308
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 2: Honestly, I totally agree with what you're saying that. I

1309
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,920
Speaker 2: definitely had so many people warn me and they're like, oh,

1310
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 2: you know, and then we just by the way, they

1311
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 2: would do this with marriage too. By the way, did

1312
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 2: you notice this, Like just I gotta tell the wife

1313
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 2: what you know they would. There's like, culturally we've built

1314
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 2: into the vernacular just a constant degradation of the institution

1315
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 2: of marriage. We just you know what I mean, It's

1316
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 2: like we just downgrade it, we downplay it, we mock it,

1317
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 2: we laugh about it, and like, Okay, some of that's fine, sure,

1318
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 2: but that's why it's so important to have strong voices

1319
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:03,959
Speaker 2: like Charlie, like you hopefully like this show that say,

1320
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 2: these are these are the best things. These are the

1321
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:08,439
Speaker 2: best things in life. And I can tell you, I mean,

1322
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 2: after Charlie was assassinated, I didn't see my family for

1323
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 2: you know, weeks on end because I was traveling around.

1324
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:15,919
Speaker 2: I was you know, they were living in a different place.

1325
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 2: I had to worry about security. And when I friendly

1326
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 2: finally got to just like see them, like and have

1327
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 2: my three little ones tackle me, literally tackle me, and

1328
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 2: just they had no idea what I had been through,

1329
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 2: They had no idea what we had been through, and

1330
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 2: just tackled me smiling tears. They started crying because they

1331
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 2: missed me and I miss them. There's like, why would

1332
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:41,280
Speaker 2: you downplay how wonderful that is? Why would you try

1333
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 2: and warn people against that experience? And we do need

1334
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 2: to do a better job just as a culture, and

1335
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 2: I think that is changing about Hey, have kids, have

1336
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 2: them as young as you can. I mean, I'll never

1337
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 2: forget the interview with Tucker that's gone viral like forty

1338
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:56,639
Speaker 2: eight times with Charlie because you know, take a job

1339
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 2: you can't you're not qualified for. You know, have more

1340
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 2: kids and you can afford live boldly, don't waste time.

1341
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 2: And I think just that message is powerfully transformative to

1342
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:09,400
Speaker 2: our culture. And now you can actually be a living

1343
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 2: embodiment of that, because you know twenty five. I mean

1344
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 2: I was living in la at the time, and I

1345
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 2: don't think any of my friends had kids at twenty five.

1346
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,599
Speaker 2: And I think it's really it's really important to get

1347
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 2: started younger than you think, because you'll wake up and

1348
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 2: you'll blink and you'll be thirty and you'll have no

1349
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 2: children and then all of a sudden, you know you're

1350
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 2: not married.

1351
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:28,960
Speaker 7: Did you ever hear anything like that from people who

1352
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:30,760
Speaker 7: even would say, oh, you should wait to have kids

1353
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 7: because it'll mess with your incipient media career, or.

1354
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 12: Any one hundred percent, or people who just say even

1355
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 12: friends in my life, friends who I love very dearly,

1356
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 12: who would classify themselves as conservative, even who say that,

1357
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,719
Speaker 12: you know, well, we just need to find the right time.

1358
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 12: Let me tell you, there is no like right time

1359
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,639
Speaker 12: to have kids. You'll never reach that, never that point.

1360
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 11: No, no, you'll never reach that point.

1361
01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,640
Speaker 2: There isn't a right time. There's a limited time exactly precisely.

1362
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 12: But yes, you do have people who who tell you

1363
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 12: those things, which my husband and I we were married

1364
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 12: for we got married in twenty twenty two, which is

1365
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 12: even that in and of itself, Like, you don't hear

1366
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 12: people who are engaged at twenty one years old anymore.

1367
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 12: We're engaged it and married at twenty one. Waited a

1368
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 12: few years to start, you know, trying to have kids,

1369
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 12: and maybe this is TMI, but I had delivered the baby.

1370
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 11: My legs are still in the syrup. I'm like, okay,

1371
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 11: I'm ready for another one.

1372
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 12: And my doctor's like, Riley, I've never heard someone in

1373
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:36,200
Speaker 12: the state that you're currently in say that.

1374
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 11: So I'm like, no, I'm well suit.

1375
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 2: End so Irish twins.

1376
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, talk about that.

1377
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:41,639
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1378
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1379
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 12: The last appointment though, he was because you know, you

1380
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 12: go back for follow ups and they're you know, just

1381
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 12: making sure you're good, and he says, Riley, like, you

1382
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 12: really should wait his timeline. He said, you need to

1383
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 12: wait until April. I said, we'll see about that.

1384
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 11: I've never been very great at following directions, so.

1385
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 2: You're good for You're good at one thing speed.

1386
01:10:57,479 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 11: Yeah. Yeah, it's against a man.

1387
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:08,679
Speaker 2: Oh oh, there's there's submit appropriate jokes in there somewhere,

1388
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 2: but we're gonna skip them. I don't want to have

1389
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:12,919
Speaker 2: to fire myself today, get a few questions.

1390
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 4: Interview coming up.

1391
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 2: Emma should be out there. We've got a first question

1392
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 2: over here, Emma. Okay, Hi, I.

1393
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 13: Have a question for Riley, which, by the way, I'm

1394
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:26,799
Speaker 13: a huge fan. And I know you say you shouldn't

1395
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 13: be famous for just saying they're two genders, but I

1396
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 13: think that's really important this day and age, especially for

1397
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 13: young women as myself, and I will want to ask

1398
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:37,600
Speaker 13: you as a Christian woman. I've heard a lot of

1399
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 13: different opinions on this from my peers and from older women,

1400
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:42,640
Speaker 13: and I know this is a little bit of a

1401
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 13: personal question, and I apologize for that right off the bat,

1402
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 13: But what is your opinion on birth control? Because I

1403
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,960
Speaker 13: know that it's quite controversial, especially in the group's that I.

1404
01:11:50,920 --> 01:12:09,439
Speaker 1: Associated Relentless in Spirit. You're listening to the Charlie Kirk Show.

1405
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 11: You can approach this conversation in two ways, and I'll

1406
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 11: answer in two ways. Number one, in the position of being.

1407
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:22,519
Speaker 12: Pro life, how do I feel about birth control? I actually,

1408
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 12: I'll be totally transparent here. I was on birth control

1409
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 12: in college, not for anything other than the fact that

1410
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 12: when you're competing at the level of which I was

1411
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 12: competing at It was really just to regulate your menstrual

1412
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 12: cycle when you have big competitions and you can have

1413
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:43,560
Speaker 12: some sort of hand in controlling that, Like to be

1414
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:44,440
Speaker 12: totally transparent.

1415
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 11: I regretted it though after the.

1416
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 12: Fact, more so because of how it affects your hormones.

1417
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 12: Someone who speaks really well to this, of course, is

1418
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:58,639
Speaker 12: Alex Clark and the effects of the birth control pill

1419
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 12: on your hormone cycle. And so I wouldn't do it

1420
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 12: again obviously. Now I'm in a marriage and would have

1421
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:11,439
Speaker 12: no problem having more kids, so on that front.

1422
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 11: But I have a lot of friends who feel the

1423
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 11: exact same way.

1424
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 12: And I will say I think it's super duper cool

1425
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 12: now that we have a whole generation of people like

1426
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:24,240
Speaker 12: our generation, who are willing to question these things. Right,

1427
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 12: I would imagine some of you, you know, moms who

1428
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:30,280
Speaker 12: are out there, maybe grandmoms who are out there. Maybe

1429
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:31,760
Speaker 12: you were on birth control and you didn't think anything

1430
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 12: of it because your healthcare providers, So, oh, if you

1431
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:34,840
Speaker 12: don't want to have kids, take this and you didn't

1432
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 12: question it because you trust that your healthcare provider has

1433
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 12: your best interest at heart. Right, we are seeing a

1434
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 12: whole new generation of people who are willing to push

1435
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 12: back and question things. And I saw that when we

1436
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 12: were talking about vaccines for our daughter. Super cool to

1437
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:53,320
Speaker 12: see some of the stuff come out of HHS surrounding

1438
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:57,759
Speaker 12: the head B vaccine and the correlation between children and infants,

1439
01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 12: newborns who receive that, and different allergies or allergens that

1440
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 12: that they have.

1441
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 11: We're seeing a whole new generation of kids. Really, at

1442
01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 11: least I feel like a kid. Maybe I'm not a

1443
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 11: kid anymore.

1444
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 12: I feel like a kid who are willing to question

1445
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 12: things like birth control, and I think it's.

1446
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 11: Super duper cool.

1447
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:18,559
Speaker 2: I also just want to say, I think it's weird that,

1448
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 2: you know, women, young girls as young as like thirteen

1449
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 2: get just automatically prescribe birth control to help with like cramps.

1450
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 11: Or something, and they do.

1451
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 2: It's weird if it's been normal for a long time.

1452
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:45,760
Speaker 2: But then when you take a step back and you're like, wait,

1453
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:48,519
Speaker 2: why do we do this for little young girls? Like

1454
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:50,479
Speaker 2: that's weird. I think it's culturally weird and we need

1455
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 2: to call it out. It doesn't mean that I mean,

1456
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,960
Speaker 2: I'm not going to give you the opinions that Riley

1457
01:14:56,040 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 2: or opinion. Yeah, I I can just tell you from

1458
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 2: a common sense perspective, it seems very weird. Okay, where

1459
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 2: do you want to go next, Blake? Oh, there we go.

1460
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 2: All right, we're on the.

1461
01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 11: Side you want.

1462
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:15,639
Speaker 14: So I was wondering, as I was a college athlete,

1463
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 14: I know your athletic career. I feel like the world

1464
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:21,880
Speaker 14: is very big around trying to make your schedule as

1465
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:23,720
Speaker 14: busy as possible, and I think that poses as a

1466
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 14: big threat to our faith and also to developing families.

1467
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:31,000
Speaker 14: I was wondering how you like just manage that when

1468
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 14: you were done with your sport, and what that transition is.

1469
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 3: Like for you.

1470
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 12: Well, of course, I mean faith is central to my life.

1471
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 12: I think there's opportunities in every sphere to highlight your

1472
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 12: faith and to live by your faith. And so while

1473
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 12: we have these demanding, crazy schedules, if you make living

1474
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:54,760
Speaker 12: a christ like life the priority, it's actually kind of

1475
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:56,760
Speaker 12: cool to have a crazy schedule and do that. I've

1476
01:15:56,760 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 12: been so inspired recently. We talk about this cultural revival

1477
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:03,680
Speaker 12: that's happening, that has been happening, I think intensified in

1478
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 12: the last three months following Charlie's assassination. But even on

1479
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:12,240
Speaker 12: the football field, you know, of course, with college football

1480
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:15,679
Speaker 12: playoffs and different things to see, so many players proclaim

1481
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 12: the name of the Lord like it's the coolest thing ever.

1482
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 11: So I think in.

1483
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:23,760
Speaker 12: Every sphere and sector of life, there's an opportunity to

1484
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 12: speak to God's goodness, to his grace, to how he

1485
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 12: sent his son to live on this earth, who died

1486
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:36,280
Speaker 12: on the cross for our sins, who rose again three

1487
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:38,839
Speaker 12: days later with the hope and the promise of eternal life.

1488
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:41,479
Speaker 12: That's a really cool thing. And if you can can

1489
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:45,559
Speaker 12: have the opportunity to say that on every stage, there's

1490
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:47,839
Speaker 12: lots of people who can have their hearts and minds

1491
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 12: changed and brought to the Lord. But in my personal

1492
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 12: life now it's been cool, I think, especially being married young.

1493
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:55,560
Speaker 11: Because.

1494
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 12: Being tested in the way that I feel like I

1495
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 12: personally been tested in it gives you the opportunity to

1496
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:07,880
Speaker 12: grow spiritually individually, but also being married, it gives you

1497
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:11,479
Speaker 12: the opportunity to grow in your faith together, and so

1498
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:13,680
Speaker 12: that's been the biggest blessing, as well as kind of

1499
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,719
Speaker 12: having an accountability partner in your spouse.

1500
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 11: So that that's kind of my take. There is faith

1501
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 11: first and.

1502
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 12: Foremost, which Charlie said this one of the things he

1503
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:27,679
Speaker 12: would say is God, family, country in that order.

1504
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 11: And I think that's a fantastic mantra to live by.

1505
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:30,439
Speaker 14: Well.

1506
01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:32,799
Speaker 2: And you know Charlie's book that just came out. Stop

1507
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 2: in the name of God. You know, take a sabbath,

1508
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 2: take a rest. And it's not a it's not a

1509
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 2: it's not a negative thing. It's a blessing. It's a

1510
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:46,280
Speaker 2: it's a you know, cease, cease your action so you

1511
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 2: can focus on your faith, so you can reflect on

1512
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 2: what God is doing in your life and doing in

1513
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:53,920
Speaker 2: your heart. So definitely take make it a discipline, like Charlie,

1514
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:55,720
Speaker 2: if you get if you find yourself so busy that

1515
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:58,360
Speaker 2: you're spinning out of control and losing kind of your grounding, especially,

1516
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 2: it's a gift to you. It's designed to be a

1517
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 2: gift to you.

1518
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 4: I think we have time for one more.

1519
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:08,559
Speaker 15: Hi, Riley, I'm Stacy from Alabama. I want to say

1520
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 15: thank you because you encouraged me because I was actually

1521
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:13,720
Speaker 15: supposed to go against someone who said they were a

1522
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 15: female but they weren't in a jiu jitsu competition and

1523
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 15: you actually gave me the courage to stand up and

1524
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:19,120
Speaker 15: I did not have to do that.

1525
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:24,440
Speaker 11: So thank you very much for you.

1526
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 15: Yet my second question as a mom of four is

1527
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 15: how do we keep the momentum going for our children

1528
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 15: to not have to deal with this if Democrats get

1529
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,960
Speaker 15: elected again, god forbid, but just to keep the mimentum going.

1530
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 12: Well, First of all, I hate that the onus is

1531
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:40,280
Speaker 12: placed on you to have to make that decision where

1532
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 12: ultimately you've you're in like this impossible spot where what

1533
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:47,519
Speaker 12: do you do? Like do you not do the sport

1534
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:50,880
Speaker 12: that you love or do you compromise on what you
