1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: It's that time time time, luck and load.

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 2: The Michael Arry Show is.

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 3: On the air. Out looking into Mica week. You gotta

4
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 3: feed ay bead. I don't plan to shave, and it's

5
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 3: good thing, but I just gotta see I'm doing all right?

6
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 3: Will you come make me support. It's I'm beating Verdy Doune.

7
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 3: That's the truth.

8
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: It's neither drinking, no drug and noool.

9
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: I'm just doing all right. It's a great tad be

10
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 3: alive and no suns still.

11
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: Shining in a close my eyes.

12
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 3: It's hard times in the neighbors, but whyk in Every day.

13
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: During my middle school and high school years, I would

14
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 1: travel with a friend who was a mentor, was older

15
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: to me named Scott Freeland. And Scott had gone to

16
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: my same high school, Orangefield High School, where he was

17
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: something of.

18
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: A legend because he was a fighter.

19
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: Wasn't very big, but he was the guy that if

20
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: some other if a bully of another school was bothering

21
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: somebody at our school, Scott will walk up to him,

22
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 1: be a crowd, there's gonna be a fight, and usually

23
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of smack talking and slapping

24
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 1: and holding your head. He'd just walk up and punch

25
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: him in the face and knock him out lights out, and.

26
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:52,919
Speaker 2: Wasn't all that big.

27
00:01:53,520 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: He was devilishly good looking and tough, and I admired him.

28
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: He'd been raised without a dad and his grandmother. His

29
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: mother and his grandmother separately had kind of raised him

30
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: by committee, and he had really thrown himself into his faith,

31
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: and he was on his way to preaching. He ended

32
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: up preaching on the side and working in a plant

33
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: but at the time he was getting more and more involved,

34
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: and I would ride with him in his little toilet

35
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: of silica to revivals where he would preach, and I

36
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: can remember thinking the whole world was on fire for

37
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: Jesus because everywhere we were, they were and it was

38
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: such an invigorating time for me. And my mother knew

39
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: this was a good influence all my life, so I

40
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: could pretty much go anywhere that Scott was going if

41
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: he wanted somebody to trail trail along. I looked up

42
00:02:59,000 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: to him.

43
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 2: He was probably.

44
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: Ten years older than me and a very, very, very

45
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: positive influence for me. When I watch what happened yesterday

46
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: at they're calling it a Charlie Kirk memorial, but it

47
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: was a revival is what it was, a bringing back

48
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: to life, a new awakening. I see a level of excitement. Look,

49
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: you can see a level of excitement at the Republican

50
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: National Convention. You can see a level of excitement at

51
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: political or religious gatherings. The question is in your own community,

52
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: what do you see? And that is where I see

53
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: and hear and feel the vibrations of a revival, and

54
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: I think everybody was ready for it. I think people

55
00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: are ready to engage in a deeper way with family,

56
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: with friends, with their workplace, with their community, and live

57
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: out their faith in a way that is meaningful. And

58
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: that is what I think this whole. I think that's

59
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: what the assassination has brought. And interestingly, I think I

60
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: think if the Left had said this is wrong, this

61
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: is awful, let's bring the temperature down. We're going to

62
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: show up at his memorial to show the country that

63
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: we know this was wrong. We're not at fault. They

64
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: could have said this, we're not at fault necessarily, but

65
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: could we tamp down the rhetoric. Sure we could, and

66
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: let's all do that together. Let's hold hands and less

67
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: mourn a father, a husband, and a man who was

68
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: passionate about this country. But they did they they did

69
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: the exact opposite. They call him nasty names, and that

70
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: has led a lot of people to say, well, if

71
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: he's all these horrible things, let me go to the

72
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: body of work, and there's a lot out there and

73
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: see what he's done, and let me see for myself.

74
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: Why would they say that if it wasn't true. Well,

75
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: it turns out, of course it's not true. In fact,

76
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: quite the opposite. Like many of you have watched more

77
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk over the last going on two weeks on

78
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: Wednesday than I ever did before, and I'm amazed. I'm

79
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: truly astounded by the patients he exhibits in listening to people,

80
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: by the patients he exhibits when they keep cutting him off,

81
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: when they keep jabbing in the middle. I'm I'm gobsmacked.

82
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: How on earth he could he or why he would

83
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: continue to take this nonsense. People just show up to

84
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: hurl insults, and they don't know anything about what they're

85
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: talking about. When they call him these names or say

86
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: these things, they're just upset and they've heard things. And

87
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: yet I think his ministry is powerful because it is

88
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: an act of faith for him every single day. And

89
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: I've said it before, I'll say it again. I think

90
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: that Charlie Kirk was an evangelist more than a political organizer,

91
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: and I think that will be his legacy, a far

92
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: bigger legacy.

93
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 2: May I say?

94
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: Well, we will talk this evening more about the revival

95
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: that occurred yesterday, although that will be a part of

96
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: what we do today. And I'm going to ask of

97
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: you if you watched or if you have found yourself

98
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks engaged in a personal revival,

99
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: then what is that commitment you've made? What concrete commitment

100
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: have you made, whether that be a Christian faith renewal

101
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: or whether that be a political renewal, activism, engagement, whatever

102
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: that is, I'm going to ask you what that is.

103
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: But hold because for a couple of.

104
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: Segments, we're going to talk to a young man named

105
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: Jack Robertson who was at Stratford High School, which applied

106
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: for a Turning Point USA chapter.

107
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: After Charlie Kirk was.

108
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: Assassinated, and this Belgian immigrant Natalie Herpes got involved. She's

109
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: part of these Spring Branch Democrats, and she released the

110
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: names of all these kids miners, mind you, and the

111
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: sponsors at the school. In an effort to intimidate them,

112
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: she encouraged the members on her seven hundred and thirty

113
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: strong Facebook page to intimidate the kids and the school

114
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: and the school sponsors, the teachers who agreed to be

115
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:07,559
Speaker 1: sponsors for these kids.

116
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: And it got national attention. And so Jack.

117
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: Robertson, one of the core of the kids organizing that group,

118
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: Stratford High School is our guests. This star Timwad, I

119
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: started getting emails and alerts from folks on the national

120
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: scale about something that was happening in my own backyard

121
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: of which I was not aware, and that is that

122
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: at Stratford High School in the Spring Branch Independent School District,

123
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: some young folks, after Charlie Kirk's assassination, had applied for

124
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: a Turning Point USA chapter. And this woman, this liberal

125
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: activist woman who presumably lives in the neighborhood. She's part

126
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: of a group called Spring Branch Act Spring Branch Democrats.

127
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: Her name is Natalie Herpin that she had sent out

128
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: an email to a group of seven hundred and thirty

129
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: people trying to shut down this chapter. And I heard

130
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: from A Cory Morrow, the singer went to Stratford High School.

131
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: He reached out to me.

132
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: A lot of folks locally all the way up to

133
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: the national level, said you know, you need to know

134
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: what's going on here. And I thought, well, first of all,

135
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: adults should not be getting involved in kids organizations. If

136
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: there was an act of violence and you were stopping it,

137
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: that'd be one thing. But this is a group of

138
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: kids starting a chapter and an adult trying to butt in.

139
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: This is the worst. This is bullying, is what it is.

140
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: One of the folks who applied for that chapter's name

141
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: is Jack Robertson, and I'm delighted to have him as

142
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: our guest.

143
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: Jack, Welcome to the program.

144
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 4: Howdy, miss Berry. Thank you for having me on.

145
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 2: So did I hear you're a freshman?

146
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 4: No, sir, I am a junior at Shepherd High School.

147
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: You're a junior, Okay. I was about to say, that's

148
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: a lot to come blazing in and already be starting

149
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: a chapter. So tell me about what was going on

150
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: with you that you wanted to start this chapter. Why

151
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: did you want to do that, what.

152
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 2: Led to that?

153
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 4: So you know, I got to give credit where credit

154
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 4: is due. There's two boys at my school that had

155
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 4: originally reached out to Turning Point to start the chapter,

156
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 4: and there is a group of about fourteen of us

157
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 4: really pushing for it, along with about three hundred others

158
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 4: that have engaged in given interest in the club. But

159
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 4: for me personally, you know, I love the idea of

160
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 4: the club and be able to be a leader for

161
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 4: the other students at our school and hopefully inform, advocate

162
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 4: or excuse me, inform, educate and teach them to advocate

163
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 4: for themselves and what they believe in.

164
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: And so, had you started a club before, how did

165
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: y'all know what the process was?

166
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 4: No, sir, So this is my first club to like

167
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 4: officially start and not just join. But we've kind of

168
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 4: just been winging it and we've reached out to sponsors

169
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 4: and we've all last week we weren't in our homeroom period,

170
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 4: which were able to do. We were going around asking

171
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 4: teachers if they'd be willing to sponsor us, and we

172
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 4: were trying to just get the clubs started and do

173
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 4: what we needed to do.

174
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: And the teachers that did, I'm trying to remember was

175
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: one of them a soccer coach.

176
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 4: I don't know exactly what their positions were, but they

177
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 4: were willing to help out, and we appreciate that.

178
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: Of course, they've got a lot of things going on already,

179
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: and now they're adding one more thing to their to

180
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: their plate, and that's not an easy thing. So you

181
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: go and you get a sponsor. I guess you fill

182
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: out the paperwork, y'all started an Instagram page. As I understand,

183
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: I don't know these things to be true, Jack, I'm

184
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: just telling you what's what's been written.

185
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 4: You're on the right course.

186
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: And then what happened.

187
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 4: So we had reached out to potential sponsors and we

188
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 4: had talked about it on our group to me and

189
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 4: the word had gotten out about that, but they were

190
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 4: just potential, they weren't official yet. And then when the

191
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 4: news had leaked about that things had changed a little bit.

192
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 4: We had gotten a little we had faced a little

193
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 4: bit of a setback. But besides that, it just kind

194
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 4: of motivated us to keep pushing and keep going forward,

195
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 4: and we reached out to some more teachers and got

196
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 4: teacher support.

197
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: And that setback was that because of external pressures of

198
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: this this group. I was mentioning, yes.

199
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 4: Sir, it was, but that's that's being taken care of

200
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 4: now and that's out of our hands.

201
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: And so what has been the response from your peers

202
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: when they found out Because Charlie Kirk has been in

203
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: the news, TPA, U s A has been in the news.

204
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: How have your peers reacted, if at all, to this.

205
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 4: So we've actually just been invigorated. I guess you could say,

206
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 4: you know, we've been inspired to keep going. We've been motivated.

207
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 4: We want to keep our heads up and just being

208
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 4: mature about it all, of course, but we're just we're

209
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 4: trying to keep on pushing and get our clubs started,

210
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 4: and we've never felt more motivated to do so well.

211
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: And what do you hope to accomplish with us? What

212
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: would be a success?

213
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 4: So with our club kind of a model or phrase

214
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 4: we're workshopping right now I had said earlier is inform,

215
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 4: educate and advocate, And what that means is we want

216
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 4: students to we want to inform them about knowledge of

217
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 4: events happening in a local, national, and global scale. We

218
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 4: want to educate them on their rights, constitution and the

219
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 4: importance of their voice and their vote, and we want

220
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 4: to inspire them to advocate for themselves so that when

221
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 4: push comes to shove or they're faced with discussion or setback,

222
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 4: they're able to stand firm and their values and their beliefs,

223
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 4: and we just we hope to create leaders for the

224
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 4: next generation.

225
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: You know you're supposed to be nervous to be on

226
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: the radio. You don't seem terribly.

227
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 4: Nervous, No, sir, I've got some pretty good parents that

228
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 4: have helped prepare me well.

229
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: Folks know that my policy is I don't speak directly

230
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: to miners.

231
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: I asked that the parents be brought in.

232
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: So I did have a nice long conversation with your

233
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: father yesterday evening last evening about all of this, and

234
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: obviously he's protective of his son and proud of his son,

235
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: but he was also eager that you share your story.

236
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: And I got to say, the fruit doesn't fall very

237
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: far from the tree. You must have very very good

238
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: parents because you say yes sir, no, sir, which puts

239
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: you ninety percent of the way to people liking you

240
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: before you ever start. So you've got very good parents.

241
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: I can already tell Jack, can you hold with me

242
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,240

251
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: went around and followed the procedures, got their sponsors, and

252
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: an outside group of liberal leftist activists Spring Branch Independent

254
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: stop the kids from starting a group which is just

255
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: crazy to me, just crazy to me. And maybe, you

256
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: know what, maybe this will turn out to be the

257
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: first uh in a series of challenges these young people

258
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: will face and have to overcome in order to be

259
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: successful in their lives. Jack robertson our guest, Jack, what

260
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: has been the reaction of young people You're a junior

261
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: at the high school to Charlie Kirk's assassination.

262
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 4: Honestly, there's been lots of reactions about it. I remember

263
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 4: I was thinking a quiz, so I wasn't able to

264
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 4: hear when it had first happened. But when I got

265
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 4: in my car after school, my friends had all called me,

266
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 4: texted me talking about what had happened, and we were

267
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 4: all scared because he was a wonderful leader for the

268
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 4: youth and America. And that seems to be the idea

269
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 4: that many people have had, is how can we continue

270
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 4: what he's started and continue his legacy, to make sure

271
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 4: that his death does not just stade away.

272
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 2: You know, I think that's fair to say.

273
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: You know, I was a sophomore in high school when

274
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: the Challenger space shuttle exploded, and I remember it. It

275
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: really really affected me. And shortly after graduation from high school,

276
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: the Berlin Wall came down, and I remember, perhaps more

277
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: so than today, having a very heightened awareness of these

278
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: major events and how they were going to affect the

279
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: world going forward. And I think that this event is

280
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: going to We'll see what the reaction is, but in

281
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: the early days, I have to say it's an event

282
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 1: that twenty thirty years from now will still be talking about,

283
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: not just because of a trigger that was pulled, but

284
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: because of the awakening that occurred. Have you noticed that

285
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: young people are perhaps more eager to get involved now

286
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: because of this than maybe they would have been before.

287
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 4: I would agree. I think it's awakened someone inside of people.

288
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 4: I think people want to stand up for what they

289
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 4: believe in more. They want to make sure that what

290
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 4: Charlie stood for continues. They want to make sure that

291
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 4: you know their voices are heard and that what they

292
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 4: believe in is not just going to get drowned out.

293
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: So, without disclosing where it'll be or any of those details,

294
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: have y' all planned your first meeting? Have you had

295
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: your first meeting? When does that happen?

296
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 4: So once we get officially recognized by the school, which

297
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 4: we're in the progress or process of doing this week,

298
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 4: we're hoping to have our first meeting, ideally either the

299
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 4: end of this week or next week, and once we

300
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 4: do that, it can be set up. It's gonna be great.

301
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 4: We're gonna have a location, we're gonna share to the members.

302
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 4: It's gonna work out.

303
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: Jack, have you thought about life after high school what

304
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: you'd like to do from there?

305
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, I'd probably like to go into business or law,

306
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 4: hopefully in Texas and university.

307
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: And do you have a Texas A and M history

308
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: in your family?

309
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 4: Big time, yes, sir.

310
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: And what would you like to study? Do you know?

311
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 4: Probably business or law? Those two speak to me. I

312
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 4: like to be able to have relationships and hopefully help people.

313
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: And in the course of your high school experience, is

314
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: there a course you've taken or particular teacher that really

315
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: awakened in you this sort of activism, this desire to engage.

316
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: Obviously that comes from your home life. But has there

317
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: been one teacher that you would say that teacher really

318
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: lit a spark for me.

319
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 4: Teachers not so much. They do a wonderful job at

320
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 4: teaching us and preparing us, but I haven't really been

321
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 4: inspired by them as much. The credit really goes to

322
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 4: my home life, my parents, my grandparents, the people around

323
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 4: me every day that have helped to raise me and

324
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 4: make me who I am.

325
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: Good for you, now, this case has drawn attention across

326
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: the country, a lot of media coverage, a lot of

327
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: influencer coverage, a lot of Twitter commentary. Have you heard

328
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: from other chapters, from folks outside who've reached out to

329
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: y'all to inspire, to guide, to to advise.

330
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:12,359

376
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 4: I don't know if we're allowed to talk about that yet.

379
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: going to be public or private invitation only, and if

380
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: it is, I will announce it. I know you've got

381
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: to get into class and go learn and lead. And

382
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: what an honor you give me faith, Jack Robertson, and

383
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: you keep the faith because you give me faith in

384
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: the youth of this country. Wow, thanks for taking time

385
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: for us. Fantastic conversation, Aaron, Thank you so much.

386
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 4: Thank you.

387
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: They remain scared to death of you, and they remain

388
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: scared to.

389
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 3: Death of Trump.

390
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: The Michael Berry Show.

391
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 5: You're not going anywhere even if Trump does.

392
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 4: You're not.

393
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: Kid even writes a thank you note after the interview.

394
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: Thank you, mister Barry so much. Give me the opportunity

395
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: to be on your show today.

396
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 2: It means a lot.

397
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: That was a Twitter direct message.

398
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 2: Which was the only way he had to reach me.

399
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: But I mean he's finished his interview and then he

400
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: follows up. Chris Tomlin sang Holy Forever yesterday at the

401
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: revival contribute of Charlie Kirk. Today, it is number one

402
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: in all genres on iTunes, five of the top ten

403
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: songs downloaded on iTunes over the last twenty four hours

404
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: or from the Charlie Kirk revival yesterday. Ramon go to

405
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: Jim's prep if you would, and there is a clip

406
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: from JD Vance and he's speaking at the revival yesterday

407
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: and he says he's always been uncomfortable talking about his faith.

408
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: It's a very open moment, very raw, very exposed, very

409
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: vulnerable moment for j. D. Kirk, and I admire him

410
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: for saying this. I think a lot of people probably

411
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: feel this.

412
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 6: Way, a little uncomfortable talking about my faith in public.

413
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 6: As much as I love the Lord and as much

414
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 6: as it was an important part of my life, I

415
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 6: have talked more about Jesus Christ in the past two

416
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 6: weeks than I have my entire time in public life.

417
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 6: And that is an undeniable legacy of the great Charlie Kirk.

418
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 6: You know, he loved God, and because he loved God,

419
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,239
Speaker 6: he wanted to understand God's creation and the men and

420
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 6: women made in his image.

421
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: So yesterday, while this was gone, we were communicating, messaging

422
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: each other as to what the show would look like today,

423
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: and we agreed that an alter call of our listeners

424
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,719
Speaker 1: you would be the best way that we can honor

425
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: what is going on in this country and perhaps in

426
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: some small way help it along its way. Poor a

427
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: little gas on this fire. So today we ask that

428
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: you call and share your new commitment or renewed commitment

429
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: to political activism, to American patriotism, to your Christian faith,

430
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: whatever that may be. What decision have you made and

431
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: what does that look like? What are your action items?

432
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: What will you now do that you didn't do? What

433
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: accountability will you have for yourself? Seven one three nine

434
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: nine nine one thousand seven to one three nine nine

435
00:27:53,000 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: one thousand. We were filming for our movie about the

436
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: the July fourth floods. The film is called River of Angels,

437
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: and I was with Sean Welling last week, who's the

438
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: filmmaker and the director, and he was talking about the

439
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: fact that they are now praying as a family nightly,

440
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: which was something they didn't do before, and he said,

441
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: what happened to Charlie Kirk changed a lot of things

442
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: for him and his wife. They have two young daughters,

443
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: and it really caused them to focus much more, to

444
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: consider things anew that perhaps they had not considered before.

445
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: And what would be the traditions, the rituals, the daily

446
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: observations that they now want to bake into their process

447
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: to make sure that in their home they are a

448
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: guy home in the way that they would like to be.

449
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting because it has made the fringe mainstream.

450
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: It has made the seemingly extraordinarily devout much more commonplace,

451
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: and I think that's a good thing. Seven one three

452
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: nine nine nine one thousand seven one three nine nine

453
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: nine one thousand. I have to say of this showman,

454
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: Jack Robertson, I'm so impressed with this kid. I'm so

455
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: incredibly impressed with this kid. And to know that there

456
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: are probably other kids in this chapter who are just

457
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: like him. Now, his name was sent to me from

458
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: various different sectors, as he's the one in the group

459
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: you don't want to talk to.

460
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure the others are good as well.

461
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: And maybe it was that his parents have mutual friends

462
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: of mine. I don't know what that was, but I'll

463
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: tell you for that kid, I am, I am very impressed,

464
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: and I am impressed with other young who when they

465
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,719
Speaker 1: see something as awful as an assassination, they don't cower,

466
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: they don't think, well, maybe that wasn't a good idea.

467
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: Let's not go in the water. It's it's too deep. Instead,

468
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: they're jumping in there. They're saying, this country is worth saving,

469
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: my salvation is worth it. My faith is powerful, and

470
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

471
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: And just this fearlessness in the face of things far

472
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: larger than anything they've ever witnessed before. I admire this

Speaker 7: Great?

481
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 5: So I'm a singer. My husband and I have been

482
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 5: musicians for twenty years or so. I'm sixty sixty year old.

483
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 5: I'll let you know. So Saturday, I just don't tell

484
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 5: you what happened.

485
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 3: Uh.

486
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 5: Saturday night we had a Uh we had a show

487
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 5: out at Connor Lakehouse on Lake Conroe. And first of all,

488
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 5: I've been following you and Charlie for years. My husband

489
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 5: and I had lived in Nashville, so while we were there,

490
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 5: we were following Phil Valentoie. But when we moved back here,

491
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 5: of course I came back to you, so longtime listener.

492
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 5: I love your show. But Saturday night I do go

493
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 5: to the church and uh Montgomery the loans for Cab Church.

494
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 5: And I've been feeling this pool even before Charlie was assassinated.

495
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 5: I was feeling a pool from God to come back

496
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 5: to where I felt he had, you know, had planned

497
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 5: all my life for a music ministry and they just

498
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 5: didn't work out the way I had planned. So we

499
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 5: just got back into singing, you know at UH at

500
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 5: secular venues as they called it when I was growing up.

501
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 5: But Saturday night something happened, and I'm trying not to.

00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,520

503
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 7: of songs and they were partner in another song, and

504
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 7: a little later she came out. And I've been really

505
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 7: wanting to do gospel stuff, you know, included in my shows,

506
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 7: because I mean, Dolly has, Willie has, so I was

Speaker 7: wanting to get to that point again. But I just
