1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: I talk to a lot of young people on campuses

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: at our events, on my radio show, podcast and social

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: media set differently, I visit college campuses so you don't

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: have to. We're talking to so many voters that know

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: it is time for change.

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 2: They know that something is wrong.

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: America's future is a series of choices. Our current state

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: of slow motion national decline.

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 3: Is a choice.

10
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: Today is our two year old's.

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: Birthday, and I look at my daughter and that is

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: my wife. For those that are parents, you know exactly

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: what I mean.

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 4: There is no mountains, stands, your face.

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 5: Food, there is no rooms.

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: Why as.

17
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 6: Man Charlie, I remember when we were starting these out and.

18
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: It was that like that, you know, it was like this.

19
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: It was like it was like your average three row.

20
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: It was like your average.

21
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 6: Political meeting where there was like twelve people in a

22
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 6: room and this is this is awesome.

23
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 7: This, in my personal opinion, was the most over the

24
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 7: top Trump event that I've ever covered.

25
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: This is the number one boots on the ground operation

26
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: in the country. We're working directly in harmony at the

27
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: Trump campaign. It's been vetted, it's been clear, it's been blessed,

28
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: as you could see there and We're going to try

29
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: to win this thing. No guarantees, it's what we do

30
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: that matters. Mister President, I can tell you this room

31
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: is one hundred.

32
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: Percent with you and we have your back. God bless you,

33
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: you really do.

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 8: Thank you.

35
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: As you know, we are heading on campus here momentarily

36
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: at the University of South Florida, throwing it down with

37
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: the students.

38
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: It's going to be a lot of fun.

39
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: We are excited to continue this cultural movement that we

40
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: have started at Turning Point USA. More high school chapters,

41
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: more college chapters, and disagreement is not just welcome, it

42
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: is invited. We want to have those tough conversations. That's

43
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: what it's all about. Because you're not supposed to be

44
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: involved in this. You're supposed to just kind of be

45
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: on the vote from every four years, give me more

46
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: political power and stay.

47
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: Out of my business.

48
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: And what has happened is we are seeing an explosion

49
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: in citizen participation. Knock on that extra door, go that

50
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: extra mile, talk to that extra friend.

51
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: Because throughout voting.

52
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: Month and culminating on the fifth of November, I believe

53
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: it will go down as a day that people remember

54
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: as a day that is written about history books as

55
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: the final battle from the Golden Escalator on down, from

56
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: defeating Hillary Clinton from the Nonsense of twenty twenty from Butler, Pennsylvania,

57
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: November fifth, It all culminades where we restore the promise

58
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: that the founders gave us, and they said, Hey, if

59
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: the people want it, the people get it, and we

60
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: the people, take back America. God bless Arizona and thank

61
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: you so much. Every day the American people demand certain

62
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: accomplishments and victories. Disagreement is what keeps a movement alive,

63
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: keeps a movement fun. Here in this country, we are

64
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: a country of flourishing.

65
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 2: We're a country of risk taking. We're a country of building.

66
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: We will achieve American greatness and we are just getting started.

67
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: Oh f.

68
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 9: Every day is a battle for your mind, raging information

69
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 9: coming from every angle, but the will to the sieve.

70
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 10: Fear not.

71
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 9: You found the place for truth, the voice of a

72
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 9: generation that still has the will to believe in the

73
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 9: greatest country in the history of the world. This is

74
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 9: the Charlie Kirk Show. Suck a lot.

75
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 2: Here we go on, Hey everybody, JD.

76
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 11: Vancier live from my office in the White House Complex

77
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 11: and filling in for somebody who cannot be filled in for.

78
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 11: But I'm gonna try to do my best my dear friend,

79
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 11: the great Charlie Kirk. The last several days have been

80
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 11: extremely hard for our country. They've been hard for me,

81
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 11: hard for my family, hard for the countless people in

82
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 11: this building who knew and loved Charlie Kirk. And of

83
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 11: course they've been hardest most of all for his darling wife, Erica, and.

84
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: Their two beautiful children.

85
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 11: The thing is, every single person into this building we

86
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 11: owe something to Charlie. He was a joyful warrior for

87
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 11: our country. He loved America. He devoted himself tirelessly to

88
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 11: making our country a better place. He was a critical

89
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 11: part of getting Donald Trump elected as president, getting me

90
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,239
Speaker 11: elected as vice president, and so much of our success

91
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 11: over the last seven months is due to his efforts,

92
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 11: his staffing, his support, and his friendship. I don't think

93
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 11: that I'm alone in saying that Charlie was the smartest

94
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 11: political operative I ever met. Everyone knew him as this

95
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 11: fearless debate of this guy who would take the conservative

96
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 11: message into hostile places and inspire younger generations to have courage.

97
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 11: One thing that's hit a lot of those young Americans

98
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 11: over the last week was how Charlie was there for

99
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 11: them when others were not. When they were afraid to

100
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 11: speak their minds, when they were afraid of what a

101
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 11: professor would say, when they were afraid that they would be.

102
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 2: Shouted down by their peers.

103
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 11: Charlie was there showing them that they could be courageous

104
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 11: and that they could be bold. Charlie was a visionary.

105
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 11: He was a luminary. He brought together people. He didn't

106
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 11: just teach people how to speak. He didn't just teach

107
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 11: people what to say. He didn't just teach people they

108
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 11: could actually speak their mind on campus. He created a

109
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 11: whole social network for an entire generation of young people.

110
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 11: I know people who met their husband, who met their wife,

111
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 11: who met the best men at their wedding at a

112
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 11: TPUSA event. Because, as you guys all know, it's not

113
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 11: just about speaking our mind, it's about making friends along

114
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 11: the way and creating that support network that won an

115
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 11: election and that staffed the current federal government.

116
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: I owe so much to Charlie. I've had friends reach.

117
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 11: Out in just the last couple of days who sent

118
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 11: me messages, screenshots that they exchange with Charlie in their

119
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 11: run up to me getting selected by the President as

120
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 11: his vice president will run mate, and it's such an

121
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 11: honor to.

122
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: Have people show me that.

123
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 11: Charlie said, we want JD to be the VP nominee,

124
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 11: And I just had a conversation with the President and

125
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 11: I think things are actually going well.

126
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: I think he's actually going to choose JD. Evance. Do

127
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: you know what it means to me that such a

128
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: good guy, such a good.

129
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 11: Friend, such a lion and visionary of our movement was

130
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 11: advocating for me. So I wanted to use this show

131
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 11: today to advocate for Charlie, to talk about him, to

132
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 11: talk about what kind of a guy he was, talk

133
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 11: about what kind of a man he was, what kind

134
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 11: of a husband and father he was, and to take people,

135
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 11: most of them from inside the administration, but some of

136
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 11: them from without who knew Charlie best, and to talk

137
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 11: about what he meant, what he meant to them, what

138
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 11: he meant to this administration, and what he meant to

139
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 11: the conservative movement. I was very honored a couple of

140
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 11: days ago, on September eleventh, twenty twenty five, to fly

141
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 11: out to Utah, where Charlie was shot and killed, to

142
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 11: meet his wife, to meet his mom and his dad,

143
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 11: his sister, all just incredible people who didn't deserve to

144
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 11: have this happen to them. And I was also honored

145
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 11: to be able to take Charlie's remains from Utah to Arizona.

146
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: It was an amazing, amazing thing.

147
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 11: It was heartbreaking, and it was sad, and it was terrible,

148
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 11: but what an honor it was for me and my

149
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 11: family to be welcomed in to the Kirk Inner Circle

150
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 11: at their moment of grief. There are a few things

151
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 11: that I want to talk about just from that moment.

152
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 11: First of all, when I first met Erica, his lovely

153
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 11: wife and such an incredibly brave soul. I'm not sure

154
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 11: if you saw her remarks after Charlie died.

155
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: If you haven't, I.

156
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 11: Would encourage you to go and see them, because you

157
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 11: see this raw grief and incredible courage all in the

158
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 11: same moment, and that's what we need right now. We

159
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 11: need to grieve, but we also need this courage in

160
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 11: this moment more than we've ever needed it. She gave

161
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 11: me a hug, and she was heartbroken, as of course

162
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 11: she would be, and she said that she loved him

163
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 11: so much, And I said, Erica.

164
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 2: He loved you so much.

165
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 11: He died way too young, but he died a happy

166
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 11: man because of you, because of the family that you

167
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 11: gave him, because of the home and the life that

168
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 11: you guys had built together. And we sat for about

169
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 11: an hour and we talked about Charlie. And you know,

170
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 11: in these moments, you don't know what to say. I'm

171
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 11: a person who literally speaks for a living, and I

172
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 11: had no idea what to say. And I didn't try

173
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 11: to console her, because how can you console the person

174
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 11: who just lost a loving husband and father.

175
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: But we just talked about Charlie. We talked about who

176
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: he was.

177
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 11: We talked about some of our favorite stories. We talked

178
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 11: about some of his idiosyncrasies and all the things that

179
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 11: made Charlie Kirk who he was. And she said something

180
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 11: to me that I will never forget. My wife was there.

181
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 11: It was just me and my wife on my side,

182
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 11: and then a lot of people from the Turning Points family,

183
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 11: a lot of people from Charlie's family.

184
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 2: And she said to me that Charlie never raised.

185
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 11: His voice, that he never custed her, that he was

186
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 11: never cross or spirited to her, And look I'm a husband.

187
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 2: I'm proud of being a husband.

188
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 11: I think that on the great balance of things, that

189
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 11: I'm a pretty good husband. But I can never say

190
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 11: that I was never unpleasant with my wife. I can

191
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 11: never say that I've never raised my voice to my wife.

192
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 11: Like most husbands, even the good ones, were sometimes imperfect.

193
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 11: And I took for that moment that I needed to

194
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 11: be a better husband and I needed to be a

195
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 11: better father because of all these moments that I share,

196
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 11: just in the last few days, the books that I've read,

197
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 11: to my kids, going up to their bedroom and kissing

198
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 11: them and hugging them before bed, I just realized that

199
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 11: all of these moments that I get to have, Charlie

200
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 11: is not able to have them anymore, and Charlie's kids

201
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 11: and his beautiful wife are not able to have them anymore.

202
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 11: And maybe the best way that I can contribute, and

203
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 11: the best way that I could honor my dear friend,

204
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 11: is to be the best husband that I can be,

205
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 11: to be the kind of husband to.

206
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: My wife that he was to his.

207
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 11: We talked all all the time about the most important

208
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 11: thing you could do is not vote for a particular candidate.

209
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 11: It was to become if you were a young man,

210
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 11: a husband, and a father. He talked about the joy

211
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 11: that came from fatherhood, the joy that came from raising

212
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,359
Speaker 11: a family and being part of their growth and their development,

213
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 11: and all the incredible things that happen when you get

214
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 11: to be a husband and father. And that is the

215
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 11: way that I'm going to honor my friend, is to

216
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 11: be the very best at that most important job that

217
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 11: I can be. But that's not the only way that

218
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 11: I'm going to honor Charlie. And there's going to be

219
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 11: a lot of discussion over the next two hours of

220
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 11: this radio program.

221
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: About what exactly that looks like.

222
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 11: It's important and Erica asked me this to make sure

223
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 11: that his movement, the movement that Charlie started, has to

224
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 11: keep going. We have to build upon it, we have

225
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 11: to add to it. We have to make sure that

226
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 11: the next generation of young people feels confident and courageous

227
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 11: to speak their mind and to speak the truth. We're

228
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 11: going to talk about that. We're going to talk about

229
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 11: why do we do this. Of course, we do this

230
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 11: so that we can enact good public policy and take

231
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 11: back our country. We're going to talk with senior officials

232
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 11: of the administration about what we're trying to do to

233
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 11: honor Charlie's legacy in that way.

234
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: Of course, we have to make.

235
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 11: Sure that the killer is brought to justice, and importantly,

236
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 11: we have to talk about this incredibly destructive movement of

237
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 11: left wing extremism that has grown up over the last

238
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 11: few years, and I believe is part of the reason

239
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 11: why Charlie was killed by an assassin's bullet.

240
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about how to dismantle that and

241
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 2: how to.

242
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 11: Bring real unity, real unity that can only come when

243
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 11: we tell the truth and everybody knows that they can

244
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 11: speak their mind about the issues of the day without

245
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 11: being cut down by a murderer's gun. We're going to

246
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 11: talk about all of those things with friends of Charlie,

247
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 11: with people in the administration, with people that he knew.

248
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 11: On a podcast couple of months back, Charlie was asked

249
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 11: about how he'd want to be remembered if he died.

250
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 11: His answer, I want to be remembered for courage.

251
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 2: For my faith.

252
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 11: That would be the most important thing. The most important

253
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 11: thing is my faith, and that was Charlie, And in

254
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 11: this dark moment for our country, I think that's the

255
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 11: greatest lesson any of us can take from Charlie to

256
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 11: have faith, to have faith in the Lord, and to

257
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 11: be bold, and how we glorify him to be bold

258
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 11: in our pursuits as Charlie was in his. So that's

259
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 11: what we're going to spend a little bit of time

260
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 11: doing this afternoon, keeping this incredible show he created, going

261
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 11: and hearing from some of the people who were so

262
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 11: fortunate to call Charlie a friend. We're going to pay

263
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 11: tribute to his courageous legacy, and we're going to commit

264
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 11: to keep it forever alive.

265
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to this.

266
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 12: Join us, Welcome back to this real Marrigan's Nasons break

269
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 13: between the United States and Israel following last week's Israeli

270
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 13: strike on Hamas leaders in Cutter. In the meantime, Israeli

271
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 13: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyaw who's saying the Israeli government is

272

Speaker 13: assessing and getting final reports about who was killed in

273
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 13: that strike. Secretary of Rubio says that Trump administration is

274
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 13: focused on what happens next and hopeful that Cutter will

275
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 13: continue playing a quote constructive role in efforts to end

276
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 13: the war in Gaza and free the remaining forty eight

277

00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 13: Kirk here in the United States, that.

281
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 8: His legacy isn't struck down, that it continues to live. Now.

282
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 8: You know, some people are replacing that Charlie was thirty

283
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 8: one years old. My own brother was thirty years old

284
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 8: when he fell in the rescue of Ussen and Tevin.

285
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 8: You know, some of these people come once and a

286
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 8: in the century, but it's their legacy that us to

287
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 8: live on. So we're committed. I'm committed, and I know

288
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 8: the president, President Trump is committed and I'm sure that's

289
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 8: true of the Secretary of State Marco Rubil, to make

290
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 8: sure that that legacy lives on.

291
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,360

Speaker 11: Hell's deputy chief of staff, dear friend of mine and

314
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 11: dear friend of Charlie Kirkson. Before I get into the

315
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 11: nitty gritty of what I wanted to talk with Stephen about,

316
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 11: you know, there's a lot of questions about the investigation

317
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 11: where we are the investigation. I want to be respectful

318
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 11: to the FBI's process, but just know that we are

319
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 11: on top of this and the entire administration is trying

320
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 11: to do as much as possible to find everything that

321
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 11: we can about what led to this, about how we

322
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 11: got here, and of course, ultimately how an assassin took

323
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 11: Charlie's life. I wanted to zoom out with Steven a

324
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 11: little bit and talk about all of the ways that

325
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 11: we're trying to figure out how to prevent this festering

326
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 11: violence that you see on the far left from becoming

327
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 11: even more and more mainstream.

328
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 2: And before I do that, Steven, I want.

329
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 11: To do this with every guest, because you're a friend

330
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 11: of Charlie's, and one of the things I'm hoping that

331
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 11: people get out of this is an understanding for the

332
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 11: kind of guy that Charlie was who he was, And

333
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 11: so before I talk to you about what we're doing

334
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 11: to try to prevent something like this from happening again, maybe.

335
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: You could just talk about why you love Charlie.

336
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 11: What memories you have of him, something that would give

337
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 11: our audience a sense of what he was. Behind the microphone, Yeah,

338
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 11: I've known Charlie for ten years. He was a treasured friend,

339
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 11: and you know his is gonna sound. He made you

340
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 11: believe more on yourself is the best way I can

341
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 11: put That's right.

342
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 14: The he he is your biggest chielder. He would if

343
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 14: I was working on a hard project, an important executive order,

344
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 14: a major new initiative, he would give me the strength

345
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 14: and the focus to get it done. He was everybody's supporter, enthusiast, cheerleader, promoter.

346
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 14: He made all of us better every single day. You know,

347
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 14: the memory that I keep turning to is not a

348
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 14: single memory. It's a period of a couple months after

349
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 14: we won the election, and Charlie was in the campaign

350
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 14: or the transition office every single day and from dawn

351
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 14: till dusk, volunteering his time to get into the weeds

352
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 14: the nitty gritty of government.

353
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 3: He was so damn excited.

354
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 14: I mean, it just it really hurts to think about

355
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 14: it right now. He was so excited about all of

356
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 14: us being here, and we would be talking about every

357
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 14: executive order, every new regulation, every new policy plan. I

358
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 14: just it was such a thrill for me to get

359
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 14: to spend a few months of my life because you know,

360
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 14: he came from the nonprofit the activist world.

361
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 3: I came from the government world.

362
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 14: And in this transition to be able to work hand

363
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 14: at hand take all of his ideas from being the

364
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 14: leader of TPUSA, spending time with college students, spending time

365
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 14: with activists, and then be able to be with us

366
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 14: at the transition to plan out the next step of

367
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 14: our government.

368
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 3: That was an experience for which I will always be grateful.

369
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,239
Speaker 14: And the last thing I'll say is that to an

370
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 14: earlier point, Charlie would send me messages all the time,

371
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 14: just saying, you know, great work, or here's a new idea,

372
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 14: or here's what I think we'll take this to the

373
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 14: next level.

374
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: And I took him all to heart, and God, I

375
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 3: just loved the man so much.

376
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 2: He was he was our biggest supporter, Stephen, but he

377
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 2: was also if he disagreed, he would figure out.

378
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 11: How to get us to it where he wanted us

379
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 11: together and always such a pard.

380
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely the darkest movement in my life.

381
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 11: It was Charlie who was on the phone saying, don't

382
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 11: let him get to you, keep on fighting, keep on going.

383
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right.

384
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 11: So I want to be mindful of time here. A

385
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 11: lot of people are very worried about how we got

386
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 11: here in the first place. And you have the crazies

387
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 11: on the far left here saying, oh, Steven Miller and

388
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 11: jd Vance, they're going to go after constitutionally protected speech,

389
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 11: and we're going to go after the NNGO network that foments, facilitates,

390
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 11: and engages in violence that's not okay. Violence is not

391
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 11: okay in our system, and we want to make it

392
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 11: less likely that that happens.

393
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 2: Walk me through at a high level, like what you.

394
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 11: And I have been working on, what the whole administration

395
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 11: has been working on to try to make sure that

396
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 11: we don't reward and promote this craziness.

397
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 14: So it's an excellent question. I've said this before, but

398
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 14: there is repeating. The last message that Charlie sent me

399
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 14: was I think it was just the day before we

400
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 14: lost him, which is that we need to have an

401
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,239
Speaker 14: organized strategy to go after the lefting organizations that are

402
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 14: promoting violence in this country. And I will write those

403
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 14: words onto my heart and I will carry them out.

404
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 14: The people ask me, you know what emotions I'm feeling

405
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 14: right now? Miss is something people say, I mean, you

406
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 14: kind of know the answer. There's incredible sadness, but there's

407
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 14: incredible anger. And the thing about anger is that unfocused

408
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 14: anger or blind rage is not a productive emotion, but

409
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 14: focused anger, righteous anger, directed for a just cause, is

410
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 14: one of the most important agents of change in human history.

411
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 2: I'll probably showed that, amen.

412
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 14: And we are going to channel all of the anger

413
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 14: that we have over the organized campaign that led to

414
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 14: this assassination to uproot and dismantle these terrorist networks.

415
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 3: So let me explain a bit of what that means so.

416
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 14: Seconds you'll be quick stephen the organized docs and campaigns,

417
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 14: the organized rights, the organized street violence, the organized campaigns

418
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 14: of dehumanization, vilification, posting people's addresses, Combining that with messaging

419
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 14: that's designed to trigger inside violence, and the actual organized

420
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 14: cells that carry out and facilitate the violence. It is

421
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 14: a vast domestic terror movement. And with the God is

422
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 14: my witness, We're gonna use every resource we have at

423
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 14: the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, and throughout this government

424
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 14: to identify, disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these networks and make

425
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 14: America safe again for the American people. It will happen,

426
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 14: and we will do it in Charlie's name.

427
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: Thank you. Stevan, don't go away.

428
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 11: I'll be joined by a guest of friends just in

429
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 11: a few seconds.

430
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 2: See you soon.

431
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 6: Welcome back to this.

432
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 10: Real America's Voice news break on Terrence Bates.

433
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 13: President Trump is scheduled to be in England for a

434
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 13: full royal state visit tomorrow. He'll be the first American

435
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 13: president ever invited twice by the British monarch. King Charles

436
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 13: will greet President Trump and First Lady Milanya Trump with

437
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 13: the words we're talking to royal salute, carriage procession and

438
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 13: to private lunch at Windsor Castle. However, this trip isn't

439
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 13: just for show. Sources say a massive US UK tech

440
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 13: partnership may be announced. The deal will reportedly center on

441
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 13: AI and cybersecurity. Back here at home, the assassination of

442
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 13: Charlie Kirk is and will likely continue to grip the

443
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 13: nation's consciousness. Utah Governor Spencer Cox says the man accused

444
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 13: of killing Charlie is not cooperating.

445
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 2: He is not confessed to two authorities.

446
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 15: He is.

447
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 2: He is, he is not cooperating.

448
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 16: But but but all the people around him are cooperating,

449
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 16: and I think that's that's that's very important. There were

450
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 16: reports yesterday that that that that we can confirm that

451
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 16: that his roommate was indeed a boyfriend who is transitioning

452
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 16: from UH from male to female.

453
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 8: UH.

454
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 16: That's that's information that the FBI had had mentioned yesterday.

455
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 16: We can't confirm that as well, and that that that

456
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 16: he is cooperating with with authorities as well.

457
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 13: The twenty two year old accused assassin remains in custody

458
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 13: for formal excuse me. Charges are expected tomorrow. In the meantime,

459
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 13: federal agents are reportedly zeroing in on whether the assassination

460
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 13: was part of a broader plot. Investigators are now saying

461
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 13: that they're looking into the suspect's network and online footprint.

462
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 13: Funeral arrangements for Charlie Kirker sat, the assassinated thirty one

463
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 13: year old, will be funeralized next Sunday, with the service

464
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 13: being held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. President

465
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 13: Trump says he'll be on hand for the final goodbye.

466
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,320

474
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 2: and I'm excited about this one.

475
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 11: Are a few guys who, like me, were lucky enough

476
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 11: to call Charlie their friend. I have Taylor Budowic, the

477

00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 2: The executive producer of this show.

481
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 11: Gentlemen, thanks so much for joining me, Thanks for being

482
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 11: a dear friend to Charlie.

483
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 2: And I thought what I'd start with is.

484
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 11: You know, we all knew Charlie the man, not just

485
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 11: Charlie the personality or Charlie the celebrity or Charlie the

486
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 11: guy who did debates on college campuses. I want to

487
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 11: start with with you, Taylor, what's something that you wish

488
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 11: people knew about Charlie that they don't if they just

489
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 11: watched his clips on on X or YouTube or wherever.

490
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 17: With Charlie, what you see is what you get.

491
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 18: And I think that was true even from my first

492
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 18: interactions with him on the twenty twenty presidential campaign. We'd

493
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 18: do always to be doing these fundraisers. Don Junior, Kimberly Gilfoyle,

494
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 18: who was the Trump victory finance chair, would host these

495
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 18: big fundraising events.

496
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 17: Charlie was always the first one to.

497
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 18: Show up, and we would do these team events when

498
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 18: we make calls all day and you'd always want Charlie

499
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 18: on your team because the guy would get there first,

500
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 18: make as many calls. And he was the best fundraiser

501
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 18: that we had. But you know, we have the not

502
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 18: just the privilege of being Charlie's friend, but seeing what

503
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 18: he's built through turning point and it became personal to

504
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 18: me when my sister, who we're from California.

505
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 17: And you know, has trying to find.

506
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 18: Her way politically and said, you know, I want to

507
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 18: get involved and we have the benefit of we can

508
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 18: go to any event, any rally, any intimate setting. And

509
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 18: I said, you know what, there's the young Women's event

510
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 18: that he in Dallas.

511
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 17: Said how about we go to Dallas.

512
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 18: And one of the reasons why Charlie's events I think

513
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 18: have been so successful and why this organization has been

514
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 18: so successful, is he makes these events approachable to the

515
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 18: person that hasn't done politics before, hasn't been engaged, but

516
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 18: is curious and thinks maybe something is going wrong with

517
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 18: the country, maybe that there's a way to get involved.

518
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 18: That's not the big rallies, that that's not you know,

519
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 18: standing in lines for a long time, but just and

520
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 18: for my sister, it was for a conference room of

521
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 18: girls listening to Taylor Swift music during breaks and kind

522
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 18: of having approachable but then also talking about life, talking

523
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 18: about family, talking about you know, at this event, you know,

524
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 18: just relationships and starting to build a path for young

525
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 18: people that is both approachable but informed and thoughtful. And

526
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 18: so for me it was it was an ability and

527
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 18: an opportunity for me to share with my sister something

528
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 18: that I get experience all time, and I think it

529
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 18: was something that she really appreciated, and I know millions

530
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 18: of young people are appreciating and by the looks of

531
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 18: the sign ups, the sign ups are pretty good and

532
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 18: they're gonnappreciate it a lot more.

533
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll talk about that, Andrews.

534
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 11: So it sounds like there's been this blowout of interest

535
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 11: in turning points. You say in the mission, one of

536
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 11: the things I really hope is that this assassin didn't

537
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 11: silence Charlie's movement.

538
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 2: And I think that's the best way for us to

539
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: honor and is to keep it going.

540
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 11: You're one of the critical people at TPUSA. Tell us

541
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 11: a little bit about Charlie, but also about what you've

542
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 11: seen in the wake of Charlie's assassination, you.

543
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 3: Know, to put things in perspective.

544
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 19: You know, there are I guess currently nine hundred official

545
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 19: chapters of Turning Point on college campuses, and that's you know,

546
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 19: you get in about nine hundred nine to twenty give

547
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 19: or take kids graduate.

548
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 8: You got to kind of.

549
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 19: Build a few chapters.

550
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 17: That's about what you're gonna get to.

551
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 19: And we have twelve hundred high school chapters, which is

552
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 19: our big new initiative, and we're really proud. When we

553
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 19: the high school chapters eclipse the college chapter, we were

554
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 19: known as the college name. And so there's about twenty

555
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 19: three thousand high schools in America twenty three twenty four thousand,

556
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 19: and I'll never forget this is a really funny moment

557
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 19: a couple of weeks ago in Aspen.

558
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 2: And Charlie was like, we are gonna have a.

559
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 19: Club America, which is the high school brand on all

560
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 19: all at twenty three thousand.

561
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 2: He didn't know the number.

562
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 19: This as the actually part of the story, we're gonna

563
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 19: have it on every high school campus in America, and

564
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 19: his you know, the team is going O gosh, and

565
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 19: Charlie goes, we're gonna have thirty five thousand high school chapters,

566
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 19: and you know, he just threw out this big like

567
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 19: stretch goal, you know, like and and you know, we're like, oh, Charlie,

568
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 19: and the whole team's freaking out because that's a that's

569
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 19: a huge lift, and and he goes, they have to

570
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,479
Speaker 19: be on every every single high school campus. And then

571
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 19: I'm sitting next to it. I look at it and

572
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 19: I google it and it was like, there's twenty three

573
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 19: thousand high schools in America.

574
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: Charlie.

575
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 19: He goes, oh, okay, twenty three thousand, We're gonna be

576
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 19: on every single one. And then you know, the team

577
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 19: got him eventually to say, Okay, the big stretch goal

578
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 19: is ten thousand. And it was amazing because now I

579
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 19: tweeted out and it's it's i don't know, like ten

580
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 19: million views or something like.

581
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 2: I think it made people feel good.

582
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 19: Because we now have thirty seven thousand applications to start

583
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 19: chapters around the country, and you know, it almost brings

584
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 19: a tear to your eye because that moment is like

585
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 19: we all remember, all the whole team. We were all

586
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 19: in a ballroom going through a presentation together, and he

587
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 19: was adamant, we are going to be on every high

588
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 19: school in America and he's going to be proven right.

589
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 11: Well, he was in a lot of ways, as you

590
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 11: guys know, the ultimate cheerleader, and he saw on you

591
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 11: things that you didn't necessarily see in yourself.

592
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 2: He was a true friend in that way.

593
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 11: And I remember, you know, one one particularly difficult moment,

594
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 11: probably the hardest moment on the campaign trail for me.

595
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 11: We had an event in Arizona, I believe, with a

596
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 11: bunch of faith leaders and it was it was the

597
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 11: one time I'm on the entire national campaign where I

598
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 11: gave my chief of staff a hug and apologized to

599
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 11: him because I was just at a you know, I

600
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 11: hadn't seen the kids in seven days.

601
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: I was particularly.

602
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 11: Cranky, and I get to this event, I'm just kind

603
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 11: of like, man, come on, we got to do this again.

604
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 11: And Charlie comes back and he gives me a hug

605
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 11: and he's like, you know, your kids, you know they

606
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 11: love you, and they're going to realize eventually why this

607
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 11: was so important to do this, and that kind of

608
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 11: gave me this sense of all right, my head's back

609
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 11: in the game.

610
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 2: And that was what Charlie was always.

611
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 11: Good at, setting ridiculous objectives but finding some way to

612
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 11: motivate people to go after it, even though it was,

613
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 11: you know, it seemed unattainable until you got a little

614
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 11: Charlie Kirk peptalk Klin, what was your What's what's the.

615
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 2: Thing you missed the most about Charlie? What do you?

616
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 3: What do you?

617
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 11: What do you think is the is the most difficult

618
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 11: part of replacing the great Charlie Kirk?

619
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 20: Well, I think you know you mentioned him being everyone's

620
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 20: best cheerleader, and I the last time I saw him,

621
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 20: and I have a lot of peace in my heart

622
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 20: because I had a very good interaction with him, as

623
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 20: we always do. I was wandering the hallways of the

624
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 20: EOB and I must have had a horrible look on

625
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 20: my face, and he literally he jumped.

626
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 2: Down the stairs.

627
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 20: He put his hand on my shoulder and he said,

628
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 20: what's going on? I just mentioned, man, you know, my

629
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 20: baby's six months old. We are going through it.

630
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 10: We are really stry.

631
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 17: I'm struggling man, and he.

632
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 20: Sat there and he prayed for me in the halls

633
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 20: of the EOB for quite a bit of time.

634
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 3: And he didn't need to do that right, you know,

635
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 3: it could.

636
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 2: Have been a quick check in.

637
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 20: And I asked him, I said, dude, how do you

638
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 20: do it?

639
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 3: How are you doing it?

640
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 20: You're killing it, your great dad, he's a doing an

641
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 20: amazing job at turning point. I think you're doing everything

642
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 20: you can. And he looks at me and he says, I

643
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 20: have a great team. And I laughed and I said, cool,

644
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,719
Speaker 20: So are you going to donate to the Kaylin door

645
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 20: Nanty Fund after this? And he said, no, that's someone

646
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 20: I'm talking about. I have a great team. I said,

647
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,959
Speaker 20: you and JD and everyone here in this building are

648
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 20: part of the team. And I know that he would

649
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 20: be very excited to see all the work that we

650
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 20: have going on here in the administration, but also all

651
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 20: the testimonials.

652
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,239
Speaker 21: I mean, like, I don't know how that I had

653
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 21: the bandwidth.

654
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 20: Like the sheer volume of people whose lives he touched

655
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 20: that we're just now discovering is out of control. And

656
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 20: I think, you know, growing up, we didn't have a

657
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 20: turning point. We didn't have a Charlie, we didn't have

658
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 20: these kind of people in our lives who dedicated and

659
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 20: put in the blood, sweat and tears to go make

660
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 20: sure that this was a thing that.

661
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,479
Speaker 2: Existed for people like us.

662
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 20: And you know, the last thing message is that and

663
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 20: you know, I think I've said this at Turning Point

664
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 20: events before, is that the left winds the enemy.

665
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 21: They win when when you feel alone and when you.

666
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 20: Feel like you're the only one who thinks, eats, praise,

667
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 20: breathes lives the way that you do. And Charlie was

668
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 20: so great at connecting those dots and connecting human beings.

669
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 20: I mean, our friendships are all stronger because of him

670
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 20: with one another. But people, I mean, like I've never

671
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 20: met Andrew, but I know I've talked to him through

672
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 20: Charlie for years, and he was so great at doing that.

673
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 20: So I think it's our mission to go out there

674
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 20: and embolden young conservatives, young Christians most importantly, to go

675
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 20: out there and continue.

676
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 3: To do his work, because it's exactly what he would want.

677
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 20: He would want you to go find five people who

678
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 20: don't believe in Jesus that day and give them, you know,

679
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 20: a good a good lecturing and and walk them through

680
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 20: everything in a way that is respectful and as you know,

681
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 20: grounded in fact. And I don't know how we replace that,

682
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 20: but I think the energy that I'm seeing amongst people.

683
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 21: Is just palpable.

684
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 17: That's insane.

685
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 11: There was this incredible hope at the core of Charlie's

686
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 11: character that you could solve so many problems just by

687
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 11: communicating with people. Like if you wanted to introduce somebody

688
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 11: to God, he would just go and talk to him.

689
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 11: If he wanted to introduce them to a new idea,

690
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 11: he would just go and talk to them. And it's

691
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,479
Speaker 11: what makes this particularly tragic is that he was doing

692
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 11: the very thing that he loved, the very thing that

693
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 11: led him to inspire so many people, and that's when

694
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,479
Speaker 11: they tried to cut him down at his strongest, doing

695
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 11: the most important thing that he was doing for our country.

696
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 11: I mean, Taylor, you mentioned his sister or your sister

697
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 11: going to a Turning Points event. And the thing about Charlie,

698
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 11: and this is again something I don't know that people

699
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 11: fully appreciated unless you knew him particularly well, is he

700
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 11: was such a bright guy.

701
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 10: Right.

702
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 11: He read theology, and he read political philosophy, and he

703
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 11: knew all these like crazy citations, and he knew like

704
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 11: every Bible verse for every particular case, or he knew

705
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 11: something that was written by some fifteenth century political Philosopherally.

706
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 2: Charlie, where the hell did you get that from? It's

707
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 2: like I just read a lot of books.

708
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 11: But he could also deal with people at the level

709
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 11: who didn't know anything about politics, who were curious, who

710
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 11: loved their country, they wanted to make it better.

711
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 10: Taylor.

712
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 11: Talk a little bit about that about because Taylor, those

713
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 11: of you don't know, is the lead in our communication

714
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 11: shop here in the White House. He knows more about

715
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 11: talking to people than pretty much anybody in the White House,

716
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 11: or at least that's what you're supposed to know more

717
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 11: than anybody else about.

718
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: But like talk about.

719
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 11: Charlie the communicator, because that's one of the things that

720
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 11: made a movie was that.

721
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 18: I'm gonna tie two things that they said together, because

722
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 18: Caylin's right, we didn't have a Charlie Kirk growing up.

723
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 18: We had Barry Goldwater and Reagan, two guys that we

724
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 18: barely were alive to know or overlap with the future

725
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 18: has Charlie Kirk. And you know, before Wednesday, Charlie Kirk

726
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 18: was a young man inspiring young people. After he was killed,

727
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 18: he has become a titan whose inspiration will move through eternity,

728
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 18: inspiring millions of people.

729
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 17: For decades to come.

730
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:30,760
Speaker 18: And he does it through both the understanding of biblical terms.

731
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 18: I mean, I spent I'm sure like a lot of

732
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 18: people this weekend, spent my weekend scrolling through old videos

733
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 18: of Charlie and and one really really hit me with

734
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 18: the story of Jesus meeting the prostitute where he says,

735
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 18: you know, though those without sin cast the first stone,

736
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 18: and he Charlie points out everyone forgets what he says

737
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 18: next and he says to the prostitute, go on, sin

738
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 18: no more. And Charlie understood both the compassion of the Bible,

739
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 18: but the honesty and truth telling of the Bible. That

740
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 18: is what I think has been missing in our political discourse.

741
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 18: That you don't have to be nasty, you can be compassionate,

742
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 18: but you should tell the truth. And so the future

743
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 18: of the political movement is going to be informed by

744
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 18: young people brave and courageous enough to tell the truth,

745
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 18: but compassionate enough to understand the suffering of those around them.

746
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 17: And that's Charlie.

747
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 11: Kirk gentlemen, thank you so much for sharing all those stories,

748
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:33,360

768
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 13: it was White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt who brought

769
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 13: a message both from the White House and from her heart.

770
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 22: I would not be in this position if not for

771
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,800

Speaker 22: November was fueled in no small part by the tireless

776
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 22: work of Charlie the Turning Point organization that he built

777
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 22: from scratch out of a garage, the true essence of

778
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 22: the American dream.

779
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 13: While much of conservative America is still coming to grips

780
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 13: with the murder of Charlie Kirk, a new week and

781
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 13: lots of news is upon us. The Fed scheduled to

782
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 13: begin the first of a two day policy meeting tomorrow.

783
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 13: While all eyes will be on the meeting to see

784
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 13: if the Central Bank will cut interest rates for the

785
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 13: first time of this second Trump presidency, many will also

786
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 13: be watching to see if Fed Governor Lisa Cook will

787
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 13: be in attendance. You may remember President Trump tried to

788
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 13: fire Cook and omit an investigation into housing finance allegations

789
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 13: against her. While a court has ruled that Cook can

790
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 13: stay on the job, the Trump administration appealed that decision

791
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 13: and could get an answer as soon as today. Also

792
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 13: happening today, the Senate is expected to vote on President

793
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 13: Trump's pick to fill an already vacant seat on the

794
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 13: FED Board.

795
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 10: That's a quick job.

796
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 11: Hello everyone, Vice President jad Vance here, welcome back to

797
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 11: the Charlie Kirk Show. So I am moonlighting as a

798
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 11: radio host today, of course in honor of my dear

799
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 11: friend Charlie. And you know, I wanted to be like

800
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 11: Marco Rubio. I wanted to add an extra job here

801
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 11: as the radio host and vice president here in the

802
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 11: West Wing, here in.

803
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 2: The White House Complex.

804
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 11: But I have another person here who wears mini hats

805
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 11: and is one of the most gifted communicators I've ever seen.

806
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 11: Right up there with the great Charlie Kirk, I'm glad

807
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 11: to be joined by Carolyn Levitt, our Press secretary.

808
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 2: Carolyn's so good to see you, mister Vice President.

809
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:01,439
Speaker 24: Very kind.

810
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 3: I appreciate your saying that, So let.

811
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 11: Me why don't you kick it off and tell us

812
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 11: a little bit so those who don't know who are

813
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 11: listening or watching, you actually were involved with TPOSA very

814
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 11: early on when you were in college. Tell me about

815
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 11: that experience and about getting into Charlie Kirk.

816
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 2: Through that form.

817
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 17: Sure.

818
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 23: Well, I'm a gen Z Conservative, so I was really

819
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 23: raised within the MAGA movement, and within the MAGA movement

820
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 23: as a gen Z Conservative means you're very much a

821
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 23: part of the Turning Point USA movement. And so my

822
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 23: political education was not just through the rise of President Trump,

823
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 23: but also the rise of Charlie Kirk and watching him

824
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 23: and listening to him. And I inquired about starting a

825
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 23: Turning Point USA chapter on my college, st Anselm College

826
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 23: in Manchester, New Hampshire.

827
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 3: Where I went and where my political.

828
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 23: Ambition and love of media and politics really began. And

829
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 23: so just by watching Charlie from a distance was so

830
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 23: inspiring to me as a young conservative woman. And I

831
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 23: got to know him personally when I decided to run

832
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 23: for Congress, and he was a tremendous supporter and friend.

833
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 11: Right, So you literally communicate for a living you're the

834
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 11: person that speaks to the American people and the world

835
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 11: on behalf of the White House every single day.

836
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 2: Did you learn anything particular about the way that Charlie

837
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 2: Kirk communicated with people?

838
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 11: And what I always appreciated is that though he was

839
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 11: very smart, and though you see all these clips of

840
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 11: him owning people or of him getting the better of

841
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 11: somebody in a debate, if you watch a full Charlie

842
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 11: Kirk rally and all of the Q and A, and

843
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 11: I was just talking with Andrew about this off camera,

844
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:42,479
Speaker 11: ninety percent of it is Charlie being kind and being

845
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 11: compassionate and offering moral support to people. What do you

846
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,919
Speaker 11: take from Charlie Kirk the communicator?

847
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 23: So many things just by watching him and by being

848
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,959
Speaker 23: around him, But I think most of all standing firm

849
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 23: in your convictions and picking a fight, especially when you

850
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 23: know you have the facts and the truth on your side,

851
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 23: but doing it with a smile. And that's something Charlie

852
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 23: did so brilliant, brilliantly and well. He would go to

853
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 23: these campus for forum events and he would say to

854
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 23: the crowd, if you disagree with me, come to the

855
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 23: front of the line. And I find myself doing that

856
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 23: in the briefing room, you know, picking on the reporters

857
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 23: whom I know very much.

858
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 3: Disagree with me and with the President.

859
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 23: But as long as you believe in what you're saying,

860
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 23: and you have conviction in it, and you have truth

861
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 23: in the facts on your side, it makes it a

862
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 23: lot easier to say it. And that's what Charlie did

863
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 23: for a living, and I know he inspired me as

864
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 23: a young voice for President Trump. Now, like you said,

865
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 23: behind the White House podium, and you know, before every briefing,

866
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 23: I always pray to Jesus Christ, and Charlie was so

867
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 23: outspoken with his faith, and I will continue to be

868
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 23: in honor of him. But I'll also think of Charlie

869
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 23: and just how brilliantly he was able to combat the

870
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 23: lies with facts and to do it with a smile.

871
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 11: Absolutely, So you know, I always think of Charlie Kirk

872
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 11: debating sometimes these kids on college campuses, and how the

873
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 11: one part of your job that maybe would be harder

874
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 11: if you went on college campuses is I think some

875
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 11: of these college kids ask way better questions than the

876
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 11: radicals do in the White House Press briefing room. So

877
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 11: that'd be like good, good, preparation for you in a

878
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 11: lot of ways to do Yeah, exactly. TPOSA was actually

879
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 11: the varsity. Now you're kind of got the JV level

880
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 11: with your opponents here. But you do such an incredible job.

881
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 11: And you were, of course not just the White House

882
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 11: Press secretary, you were also the main spokesperson during the

883
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 11: Trump campaign. And you know what made I want to

884
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 11: ask how important Charlie was to the victory because there

885
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 11: were so many events that we did with TPUSA where

886
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 11: I would show up and they were incredible and the

887
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 11: energy was off the charts. And Charlie would always tell

888
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 11: me whenever I went to Arizona, he'd say, don't worry

889
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 11: about Arizona, worry about Michigan, worry about Wisconsin.

890
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 2: We've got Arizona.

891
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 11: Talk with a minute and ten seconds remaining just about

892
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 11: how important Charlie was to our effort to win and

893
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,080
Speaker 11: make Donald Trump to the President of the United States.

894
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 11: Has said it himself.

895
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 23: The president's massive gains with young Americans across the country

896
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 23: was in no small part because of the efforts of

897
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 23: Charlie Kirk and turning point us say and our team

898
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 23: on the campaign was constantly checking in with him and

899
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 23: keeping him apprized of what the President was doing and saying,

900
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 23: because we needed his voice to relay that to his audience,

901
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 23: which is made up of young people across the country.

902
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 23: And the President spoke at many turning point events, he

903
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 23: went into that lion's den at the invitation of Charlie

904
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,280
Speaker 23: to get his message across, and Charlie was incredibly supportive

905
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 23: of non traditional new media strategy that the President took.

906
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 23: And you know, the President loved Charlie deeply. You know that,

907
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 23: mister Vice President, and I know that, and I know

908
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:48,439
Speaker 23: he deeply is hurt by this loss because Charlie played

909
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 23: an instrumental role in returning the President to the Oval office.

910
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 23: And I just love that clip from election night when

911
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 23: Charlie realized President Trump had won and he was speechless

912
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,399
Speaker 23: for one of the few times in his life.

913
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 3: There were no words, just tears.

914
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 2: Thank you, Caroline.

915
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 11: Ab Next, the great Tucker Carlson joins me, will be

923
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,919

930
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 25: the media tends. Some of you are very familiar with

931
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 25: that area. That's typically where our broadcast from for the

932
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 25: morning show. I've had several foreign correspondents come up to

933
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 25: me today to express their sorrow and their sympathies for

934
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 25: what we're all going through as a nation losing the

935
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 25: great Charlie Kirk, and they're very sympathetic with that. It

936
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 25: still remains a top story. People are talking about it,

937
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 25: and certainly over the last hour or so, what we've

938
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 25: heard from our great Vice President JD. Vance telling the

939
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 25: stories of just how Charlie Kirk has literally flipped a

940
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 25: culture amongst the youth of America and brought them to

941
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:40,760
Speaker 25: Christ first and foremost terrence, but also love of country,

942
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 25: which is so important, Brian.

943
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 13: One of the things that strikes me in quite honestly,

944
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 13: particularly today, is that the sort of mourning we're seeing,

945
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 13: the sort of reverence that is being paid to Charlie

946
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 13: Kirk typically in my lifetime has been reserved for presidents,

947
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 13: for people of that sort that ill, but we're seeing

948
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 13: some I think similar to that for Charlie Kirker, a

949
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 13: thirty one year.

950
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 25: Old we are, you know, we're seeing it with the

951
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 25: death of like I can compare it to the death

952
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 25: of Martin Luther King, the same type of admiration and

953
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 25: respect for what he did for this country and for

954
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 25: so many people, it's to be admired. I certainly appreciate

955
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 25: the respect that the President has given Charlie Kirk.

956
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 3: And his family and what the nation is doing.

957
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 25: And you and I probably spent time over the weekend

958
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 25: looking on social media, and what's amazing, Terrence is I'm

959
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 25: seeing so many people that have been kind of agnostic

960
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 25: to politics in general are now looking at the Conservative

961
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 25: Party and Republicans knowing that let me look into what

962
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 25: they stand for, and like I said, first and foremost,

963
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 25: maybe finding Jesus Christ, and that Christianity is such a

964
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 25: gift to all of us.

965
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 2: And what it brings through the blood.

966
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 3: Of Jesus and his salvation.

967
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 25: So if anything on social media, hope only that we

968
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 25: can bring more people to Christ. And if you look

969
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 25: at the numbers of followers across the board on Charlie

970
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 25: Kirk's platforms, they have gone up. People are following what

971
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 25: his message is and at turning point and also following

972
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 25: obviously all the things related to Christianity, which I think

973
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,439
Speaker 25: is far more important.

974
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 10: Of all the things you've pointed out.

975
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 13: Building relationship with our Lord and Savior should be the primary.

976
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 13: Secondary to that, however, is that work must go on.

977
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 13: There is still work to do, not only in the

978
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 13: name of Charlie Kirk, but in the name of the

979
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 13: American people. Can you talk about what's happening there in

980
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 13: Washington right now to most of us? And I asked

981
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,399
Speaker 13: that question kind of in this context, Brian, to most

982
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 13: of us we feel that everything is stopped. Life is

983
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 13: somewhat stopped as we continue to mourn, but there is

984
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 13: still work to be done on Capitol Hill. Are you

985
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 13: getting the sense that things are stopped there or is

986
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 13: the work still happening, maybe not quite as furiously as

987
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 13: it once one point in time, but is there still

988
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 13: work happening behind the scenes.

989
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 25: The still work happening behind the scenes. Obviously, we've got

990
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 25: a big budget to come together and come and pass

991
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 25: or you know, look at the cr come together and

992
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 25: what needs to be in there on the budget. So

993
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 25: as far as Congress concerned, they're still working.

994
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 2: And Terrence, you and I.

995
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 25: Both know President Trump and Vice President Jade Vance, they're

996
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 25: always working for this country. They are the two hardest

997
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 25: working people that we have, and so that always continues.

998
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 25: But you know, we must continue to pray for our

999
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 25: leaders to take bold action against the radical left, and

1000
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 25: I know that jd Vance has been talking about that

1001
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,879
Speaker 25: over the last hour. We must be bold and courageous

1002
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 25: and get legislation to stop some of these tragic events

1003
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 25: that's coming from the radical left. And there's legislation Terrence,

1004
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 25: to do that.

1005
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 10: All right.

1006
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 13: Brian Glyn reporting for US from the Nation's capital. President Trump,

1007
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 13: of course, we'll be heading over to England tomorrow, but

1008
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,240
Speaker 13: he will be back in the United States for Sunday's

1009
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 13: funeral for Charlie Kirk. That's going to do it for

1010
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 13: your headline. This is always really appreciate having you along

1011
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 13: for the ride. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

1012
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.

1013
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 11: Joining me now is my friend and a close friend

1014
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 11: of Charlie, the Great Tucker Carlson. Tucker, thank you so

1015
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 11: much for being here. And we have ten minutes. Tucker,

1016
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 11: And just to give you guys at home a little

1017
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 11: behind the scenes, the producer just showed Tucker a sign

1018
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 11: that said rap and Tucker looked at it and said,

1019
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 11: this is expand on your point, right, So if we

1020
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 11: end up going thirty five minutes, you'll.

1021
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 2: Know it's not the host fault. It's Tucker Carlson's fault.

1022
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 26: Read but we want to read.

1023
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 2: But I had it, you know, Tucker.

1024
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 11: I think you know this, and some of you know

1025
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 11: this because I wrote about it on X But when

1026
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 11: x dot com was Twitter, I did an interview with

1027
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,840
Speaker 11: the Tucker Carlson Tonight Show on Fox News and I

1028
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 11: got a message from a guy named Charlie Kirk that said,

1029
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 11: you did a great job. I really liked what you said,

1030
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 11: and let's keep in touch. And that began the start

1031
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 11: of my friendship with Charlie Kirk. It was the first

1032
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,399
Speaker 11: time I had ever communicated with Charlie Kirk. So you've

1033
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,839
Speaker 11: known him for a long time. You talked to him

1034
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 11: about a lot of issues, and I want to talk

1035
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 11: in part about how to honor Charlie's legacy, because I

1036
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 11: think that he modeled simple discourse within the right. He

1037
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 11: accepted there were big disagreements on all these issues, but

1038
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 11: he thought we were all on the same team and

1039
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,439
Speaker 11: we could debate this stuff but actually have a drink

1040
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 11: at the end of the day and recognize that we

1041
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 11: were all trying to accomplish fundamentally the good of the country.

1042
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 11: So I want to talk a little bit about that.

1043
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,720
Speaker 11: Before I get there, just tell me about your buddy,

1044
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:53,720
Speaker 11: Charlie Kirk.

1045
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 2: What was he like?

1046
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 11: What did people who only know him from radio or

1047
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 11: TV not appreciate about what a good guy want?

1048
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,760
Speaker 27: That his Christianity was sincere and his commitment to Jesus

1049
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 27: was totally sincere, and you know, sometimes isn't, especially in

1050
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 27: public figures who throw out Bible verses they don't understand

1051
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 27: and stuff like that. But in his case, not speaking

1052
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 27: in particular, but in his case and informed every single

1053
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 27: part of his life, from his marriage, the way he

1054
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,360
Speaker 27: treated his children, to the way he treated his staff,

1055
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 27: to the way he approached disagreement, to the way he

1056
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 27: thought of other people, which was always primarily as people first,

1057
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 27: and that was you know, he was much younger than

1058
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 27: I am, and I met him when he was a teenager,

1059
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 27: so he's literally the age of one of my children.

1060
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 27: So it's kind of hard to take him seriously at first.

1061
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 27: And over the years that I knew him more than

1062
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 27: ten years, I ended up learning from him. I'm not

1063
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 27: just saying this because he's passed. I mean that sincerely.

1064
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 27: And the main thing I learned from him was how

1065
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 27: to disagree with people on topics that you take very

1066
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 27: seriously and that they take very seriously without hating them

1067
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 27: or without feeling bitterness. I mean, and he it wasn't

1068
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 27: you know, if people knew what was going on behind

1069
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 27: the scenes. You know, there was a lot going on

1070
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:09,240
Speaker 27: behind the scenes, and it was intense and it was bitter,

1071
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:13,280
Speaker 27: and you know, because the divide, particularly informed policy questions,

1072
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 27: is very real in the Republican Party, the neocons versus

1073
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 27: the realist or whever you want to describe it.

1074
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 10: He was on the realist side, for sure.

1075
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 27: But he was mad at the people who disagreed with him.

1076
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 27: He liked them as people. He greeted them on some things,

1077
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:28,280
Speaker 27: and he would always say that, you know, I agree.

1078
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 27: In private, he would say that, and you know, I

1079
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 27: was involved in it because people were mad at him

1080
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 27: for having me at his conferences or for talking to me,

1081
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 27: and so we had cause to talk about it a

1082
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:43,280
Speaker 27: lot up until he was assassinated.

1083
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 21: And I was so struck the whole time.

1084
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 27: I would say, you know, I would use the ugly

1085
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 27: language I'm famous for in private, and he would never

1086
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 27: talk like that. He wold say, well, you know, I

1087
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 27: agree with him on this, but obviously I'm on your

1088
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 27: side on that. And he just never forgot there was

1089
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 27: a person behind these the views, and that inspired me.

1090
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 27: And God commands that of us. That's a real commandment,

1091
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:06,879
Speaker 27: in my opinion, and he.

1092
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 2: Lived in That's exactly right, Tucker.

1093
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 11: He treated everybody with respecting me because he genuinely loved people,

1094
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 11: and he genuinely wanted their salvation. He wanted them to

1095
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 11: have a relationship with God, he wanted them to know

1096
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 11: the truth.

1097
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 2: He always treated.

1098
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 11: Them with respect, maybe especially when he disagreed with this,

1099
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 11: and I think about this.

1100
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 2: So you talked about foreign.

1101
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 11: Policy, that is one of the big divides on the

1102
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 11: American right right now. And the thing that Charlie seemed

1103
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 11: to understand intuitively is that the coalition that made Donald

1104
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 11: Trump the President of United States and Jade Vance the

1105
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 11: Vice President the United States, it included Tucker Carlson, but

1106
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 11: also Ben Shapiro. It included people who did disagree vociferously,

1107
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 11: but agreed on seventy or eighty percent of issues. And fundamentally,

1108
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 11: the question Charlie would ask is if you're a good

1109
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 11: faith person and you're trying to do right, then you

1110
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 11: are part of the big ten. And I think that's

1111
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 11: something that we have to try to model together because

1112
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 11: Charlie's no longer around to do it for us. And

1113
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 11: one way in particular, I was very touched by this.

1114
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 11: I actually texted Mark about this because you know, you

1115
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 11: very generously have put out some donation link to help

1116
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 11: support Charlie's family, and think about you know, Eric and

1117
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 11: the kids. Most importantly, they're grieving the loss of a

1118
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 11: dear husband and father. But somebody us, we're gonna have

1119
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 11: to step in and fill the gap to provide for

1120
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 11: them in a way that Charlie no longer can't because

1121
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 11: he was taken down by an assassin's bullet.

1122
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 5: You know.

1123
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 11: I saw share that link was Mark Levine, and I

1124
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 11: thought it was a really good example of how Charlie

1125
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 11: was able to bring people together from across our movement.

1126
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 11: So long as we were operating in good faith, that

1127
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 11: was the question. If you were good faith, you're on

1128
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 11: his team.

1129
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 27: That is exactly right, and good faith is the measure.

1130
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 27: And I, you know, I just I have to say,

1131
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 27: I think now is exactly the wrong time to appropriate

1132
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 27: the memory of someone and the emotion that comes with that,

1133
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 27: the really intense emotion that all of us feel, and

1134
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 27: his murder and use it for.

1135
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 10: Your own parochial ends.

1136
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 2: Like he stood for this, you know.

1137
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 27: And I think the reason that Charlie was able to

1138
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 27: bridge the gap, particularly in foreign policy, is because he had,

1139
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 27: for example, genuine affection for Israel. She expressed to me

1140
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 27: in private, many many times.

1141
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 10: I love Israel.

1142
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 27: I don't think we should have another forever war, regime

1143
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 27: change war against Iran.

1144
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 11: And I think that made complete sense to me.

1145
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 27: I sort of agree with that, actually, And so it

1146
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 27: allowed both sides to talk to him because they felt like,

1147
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,919
Speaker 27: this person doesn't hate me. It doesn't need to get existential.

1148
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 27: It's not about disliking me or some weird bigotry. But

1149
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 27: I don't think it's helpful for people to jump in,

1150
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 27: particularly foreign heads of state, to say this is what

1151
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 27: you know, he lived for my cause or whatever. That's disgusting. Actually,

1152
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 27: don't do that. That turns everybody off. You don't help

1153
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 27: your own cause by doing that. And it's also literally untrue.

1154
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 27: So I just hope that we can continue in I'm

1155
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 27: not exaggerating the spirit that he operated in, which is

1156
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 27: one of love for other people, including people we disagree with,

1157
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:07,439
Speaker 27: and don't make it you know as small bore as

1158
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 27: that that doesn't help.

1159
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1160
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 11: So one of the issues, Tucker, I agree with you

1161
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 11: that he would express disagreements with the administration on There

1162
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 11: are two That jump out is one. You know, Charlie

1163
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 11: was a hardliner on immigration. He wanted to US control

1164
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 11: our borders as much as possible. He wanted us to

1165
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 11: ramp up the deportations. I remember having conversations with Charlie

1166
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 11: where he would say, why aren't the deportations higher?

1167
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 2: Why aren't you doing more? And I would talk to him.

1168
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 11: But it wasn't hey, I don't understand this, or I

1169
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 11: disagree with you, and therefore I'm gonna blast you and

1170
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 11: assume that you're in bad faith. It's I'm a free citizen.

1171
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 11: I love you guys, I supported you guys, and I'm

1172
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 11: going to use my platform to try to accomplish as

1173
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 11: much good as I possibly can. And I think that

1174
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 11: made him such an effective operator. And I would talk

1175
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 11: to Charlie and say, Charlie, well, look, here are the

1176
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 11: reasons why. And as you've seen, we've ramped up deportation numbers.

1177
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 2: We have.

1178
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 11: Actually there are a lot of people who are self

1179
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 11: deporting because they don't want to be in a country,

1180
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 11: knowing that eventually immigration enforcement will happen. But I think

1181
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 11: part of that success comes from people like Charlie applying pressure,

1182
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 11: pressure as a friend, pressure, as somebody.

1183
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:19,439
Speaker 2: Who cares deeply about the issue. And that's true.

1184
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 11: Also, I know we have about ninety seconds left, but

1185
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 11: that's true about foreign policy. Like I remember Charlie calling

1186
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 11: me and saying, I'm really worried. And this is back

1187
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 11: in the summer when the Iran strikes were sort of

1188
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 11: first being contemplated. He said I'm really worried this is

1189
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 11: going to come another regime change war in the Middle

1190
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 11: East that we get trapped in. And I said, Charlie,

1191
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 11: first of all, like it.

1192
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 2: Have some faith here.

1193
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 11: The PROSI of the United States is not a believer

1194
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,919
Speaker 11: in perpetual war. He knows the mistakes of Iraq and Afghanistan.

1195
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 11: He doesn't want to repeat them. But Charlie was very

1196
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 11: clear that he could support Israel, and by the way,

1197
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 11: he did eventually support the strikes on the nuclear facility,

1198
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 11: while simultaneously saying no more, this can't become a bigger thing,

1199
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 11: this can't become a broader thing. And again, I think

1200
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 11: he modeled a really good way of applying pressure of

1201
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 11: disagreeing when you do disagree, but also recognizing that so

1202
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 11: long as you're operating in good faith, we're all part

1203
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 11: of the team. And that's something I'm gonna try to

1204
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 11: take from Charlie's legacy, is not that we're always right,

1205
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 11: not that we can't take criticism, but that we all

1206
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 11: should try to work together.

1207
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 27: It did worry me because I think your description is perfect.

1208
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 27: He's one of very few took that message and stood

1209
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 27: by it. I mean, right to the very end. This

1210
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 27: cannot get bigger. We don't want another hurrshime change war.

1211
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 27: But man, some of the people who send money to

1212
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 27: Turning Point, his donors were very tough on him, so

1213
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 27: tough on him that I could feel it.

1214
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 10: You know.

1215
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 27: I talked to him a lot in the last few months,

1216
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 27: and he was under enormous pressure.

1217
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 2: He never bent, he never became. He kept his integrity

1218
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 2: to the very end, to the very end.

1219
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 27: And I just think it's important to say that because

1220
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 27: it's true.

1221
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 11: Absolutely, Thank you, Tucker, it's good to be with you.

1222
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 11: Don't go oh way. We'll be right back with our

1223
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 11: great Secretary of Health and Human Services, Bobby Kennedy Junior.

1224
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 11: You're listening to the Charlie Kirk Show.

1225
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 13: Tarrex Bates here with your Real America's Voice News Break.

1226
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 13: Thanks so much for being along for the ride. Secretary

1227
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 13: of State Marco Rubio says there is no daylight between

1228
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 13: the United States and Israel following last week's is rarely

1229
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 13: strike on Hammas leaders and cutter. In the meantime, Israeli

1230
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 13: Prime Minister Benjamin Netan Yahoo saying the Israeli government is

1231
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 13: assessing and getting final reports about who was killed in

1232
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 13: that strike. Secretary of Rubio says the Trump administration is

1233
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 13: focused on what happens next, though, and hopeful that Cutter

1234
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 13: will continue playing a quote constructive role in efforts to

01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:01,919
Speaker 13: here in the United States.

1240
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 8: That his legacy isn't struck down, that it continues to

1241
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 8: live now. You know, some people are replacing that Charlie

1242
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 8: was thirty one years old, My own brother was thirty

1243
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 8: years old when he fell. And the rescue of usages

1244
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 8: and and Teban. You know, some of these people come

1245
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 8: once in a in a century, but it's their legacy

1246

Speaker 8: and I know the President, President Trump is committed, and

1248
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:34,440

1268
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 11: Thank you so much for being here. And one of

1269
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 11: the things that I always took from Charlie.

1270
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 2: Was this idea that we needed to grow.

1271
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 11: The coalition and expand the coalition. There's probably no person

1272
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 11: in the entire administration who better exemplifies that than you.

1273
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 2: One of the leading.

1274
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 11: Consumer advocates health advocates that his existed in our country,

1275
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 11: but until a few years ago more aligned.

1276
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 2: Given your name, you were a zion.

1277
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 11: Of one of the great political families on the Democratic

1278
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 11: side in American history. But now you're one of the

1279
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 11: most important members of the administration in a Republican administration.

1280
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 11: Maybe talk, if you would, just a little bit about

1281
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 11: Charlie's approach to politics and how it ultimately made you

1282
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 11: one of the most important people in the federal government.

1283
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1284
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 4: Well, Charlie was probably the primary architect of my unification.

1285
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 21: With President Trump.

1286
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 4: I actually announced my endorsement of President Trump at Attorney

1287
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 4: Point Rally in Arizona, which was his idea and he was.

1288
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 4: For people who were there, remember, it was all these

1289
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 4: kind of fireworks and sparklers on the stage when we

1290
01:05:57,040 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 4: shook hands, and that was all Charlie's orchestration. I was

1291
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 4: his idea and he insisted on that. But I first

1292
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 4: met Charlie in July of twenty twenty one. I had

1293
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 4: just written a book about Anthony Fauci, and he had

1294
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 4: me on his show for this very, very wide ranging

1295
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 4: interview on which he really let me talk a lot,

1296
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 4: which was unusual at that time because I was not

1297
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 4: allowed to talk on most outlets, and.

1298
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 21: I think both of us approach.

1299
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 4: Each other with some trepidation because we came from such

1300
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 4: different places. By the end of that interview, I felt

1301
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 4: like I'd met a spiritual soulmate, and our friendship blossomed

1302
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 4: after that. And even during the campaign, when you know

1303
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 4: he was the strongest morning President Trump, we always had

1304
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 4: a communication and outreach, and then after I made the endorsement,

1305
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 4: I saw him all the time, and he helped me

1306
01:06:56,760 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 4: a lot during the transition to you as the Ducker

1307
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 4: and uh and helped let Amarellas, who's my daughter in law.

1308
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:10,919
Speaker 4: He really kind of pushed her a lot to get

1309
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 4: the job that she has today. So and you know,

1310
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 4: the thing that united us was his total commitment of

1311
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 4: free speech, and now it had been a theme of

1312
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 4: my campaign. I had been subject to censorship like so

1313
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 4: many other people during COVID and saw the threat that

1314
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 4: it was to our country. Saw that once they understood

1315
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 4: a consensus, and Charlie and I talked about this, that

1316
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 4: the founders put the freedom of speech in the First

1317
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 4: Amendment because they knew all the other rights depended on it.

1318
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 4: If a government can silence its opponents, it has a

1319
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 4: license for any kind of atrocity.

1320
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 21: And you know, as soon.

1321
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 4: As they realized that we were going to put up

1322
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:57,919
Speaker 4: with that, they went after freedom of the assembly, which

1323
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 4: isn't first and with social distancing regulations. They went after

1324
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 4: we're religion, closing all the churches in this country, which

1325
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 4: is an.

1326
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 21: Extraordinary I mean, it's extraordinary.

1327
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 8: We like it.

1328
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 21: Away with that, and by the way.

1329
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 4: They kept the liquor stores open as essential businesses. They

1330
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:19,520
Speaker 4: went after the Fifth Amendment, they shut all of our businesses,

1331
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 4: three five million businesses with no dupras has no just compensation.

1332
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 4: They went after the Seventh Amendment, right to jury trial.

1333
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 4: Seventh Amendment says no, no Americans shall be denied the

1334
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 4: right of a trial before jury vist peers in case

1335
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:38,559
Speaker 4: their controversy is exceeding twenty five dollars.

1336
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 21: There's no pandemic exception.

1337
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 4: And yet they were able to give these broad categories

1338
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 4: of industry, these you know, these exemptions from any litigation,

1339
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 4: no matter how much they hurt you. They went after

1340
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 4: the Fourth Amendment, prohibitions against warningless surgeons and seizures, by

1341
01:08:56,840 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 4: making us disclose our medical information. The entire constitution came

1342
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,719
Speaker 4: under attack. As soon as they realized that they could

1343
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 4: go after free speech.

1344
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 11: So we have eighty seconds left on radio and then

1345
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 11: we'll continue streaming for the folks who are watching live

1346
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:13,800
Speaker 11: on the Internet and other platforms. But to talk to

1347
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 11: me just a little bit about Charlie's influence and actually

1348
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:20,880
Speaker 11: politically getting you to be the h and HS secretary,

1349
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 11: because I remember he was such a strategig for you.

1350
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 2: He was so proud of the President and of you.

1351
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 11: When the President nominated you, obviously, like all of our

1352
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 11: big nominees, there was a tough confirmation fight. Just talk

1353
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 11: give give us fifty seconds on how important he was

1354
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 11: to making you have the position and the title you

1355
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:37,719
Speaker 11: have right now.

1356
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 4: Well, you know, you know what the transition is like.

1357
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 4: You never kind of know what's going to happen. And

1358
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,799
Speaker 4: he was a critical ally for me and calling President

1359
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 4: Trump and of first, you know, President Trump asked me

1360
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:51,400
Speaker 4: whether I wanted this job.

1361
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 21: I was tentative. I didn't know whether I wanted to.

1362
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 4: Handle Medicaid and Medicare, which is the biggest you know,

1363
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:03,639
Speaker 4: economic BMF. And he really persuaded me that I should

1364
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 4: do it, and then he helped me I don't only

1365
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 4: make he calls the presidentiself but telling me people that

1366
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 4: I should call operating strategically. But I'll just say one

1367
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:15,599
Speaker 4: other thing before we saw.

1368
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:17,799
Speaker 2: It, So let me pause there, Bobby.

1369
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 11: This will continue on streaming, but for those listening on radio,

1370
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:23,680
Speaker 11: I want to thank the secretary, and again we'll keep

1371
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:25,480
Speaker 11: on going for another few minutes.

1372
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 2: Off the radio, but appreciate it.

1373
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:28,720
Speaker 10: Thank you.

1374
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 2: And and now that.

1375
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:35,559
Speaker 11: We're I guess off radio, keep talking about this, this

1376
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 11: piece of it, because I think he was strategically brilliant

1377
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 11: and he was a good political operator in a way

1378
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 11: that I think so many people don't realize.

1379
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 21: Yeah, he was.

1380
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:51,679
Speaker 4: I mean, he was an empresario strategist, and he knew

1381
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 4: exactly he did the same thing what Amarella is. He

1382
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 4: told her to make this phone call, make this phone call,

1383
01:10:56,880 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 4: make this one first, this one second, yep, And he

1384
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 4: knew exactly, you know, he knew the he understood the

1385
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,600
Speaker 4: uses of power, and he understood what buttons needed to

1386
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:12,639
Speaker 4: be pushed to move the ball across the goal line.

1387
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:16,000
Speaker 4: So he was very good on that. But so he

1388
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,479
Speaker 4: was a prigmatist. But he was also one of the

1389
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:22,759
Speaker 4: maast idealistic people that I've ever met. And his principal

1390
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 4: preoccupation was with conversation.

1391
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,800
Speaker 21: He thought conversation was the only thing that could heal

1392
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:28,439
Speaker 21: our country.

1393
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 4: All these forces and particularly the algorithms now a social

1394
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:37,680
Speaker 4: media that are driving us apart, and it's inexorable.

1395
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 21: There seems to be nothing that could stop it.

1396
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 4: And he understood that the only thing that could bridge

1397
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:46,680
Speaker 4: that gap was debate, was open debate, and that censorship

1398
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,800
Speaker 4: was the enemy of that, and that in order to

1399
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:52,760
Speaker 4: have real conversations we had end the vitriol. We had

1400
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 4: to stop being poisonous toward each other. We need to

1401
01:11:56,400 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 4: say what we mean without saying it mean. Yes, he

1402
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 4: was just amazingly. He was so respectful of the people

1403
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:07,759
Speaker 4: who disagreed with them. He gave them the most respect

1404
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:10,720
Speaker 4: and the greatest hearing. He wanted their voice to be heard.

1405
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 4: I saw on you know, one of the network shays

1406
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 4: now that there's this big revolt against the social media

1407
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 4: because of their contribution and the polarization that ultimately led

1408
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 4: to his death as growing up a hatred. Ironically, I

1409
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 4: think Charlie would revolt against that. Yes, because he hated censors. Yes,

1410
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 4: what he said is the answer is conversation and dialogue,

1411
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 4: and we need to learn to do that if we're

1412
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 4: if our democracy is going to survive.

1413
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 21: If we are if we're going to survive, we need

1414
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 21: to talk to each other, even though all these things

1415
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 21: are telling.

1416
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 10: Us not to.

1417
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:48,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1418
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 11: So I talked to Charlie was either the night of

1419
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 11: or the day after our debate with Tim Wolls, and

1420
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:54,280
Speaker 11: you know, he's excited.

1421
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 2: He told me how great I did.

1422
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:57,800
Speaker 11: And obviously it's it's awesome to hear from a friend

1423
01:12:57,800 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 11: who tells you that you did a great job. But

1424
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 11: he asked what I thought of Tim, and I said, honestly,

1425
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:04,799
Speaker 11: you know, because you get in this sort of monker

1426
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 11: mentality and the campaign, it's us as them. And I

1427
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 11: was like, honestly, even though I'm glad that I think

1428
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 11: I did well and I certainly don't want this guy

1429
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 11: to become vice president, I actually kind of liked him afterwards,

1430
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:17,880
Speaker 11: after ninety minutes of talking with him.

1431
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 2: And Charlie said, that's why I do all these debates.

1432
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:23,599
Speaker 11: It's like, you can disagree vehemently with somebody, but if

1433
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:27,360
Speaker 11: you're actually communicating with them, it's really hard not to

1434
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 11: appreciate at least a little bit as a human being.

1435
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 11: Even if you think there are one hundred percent wrong

1436
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 11: on the issues, you can appreciate them a little bit

1437
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 11: as a human being.

1438
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:37,160
Speaker 2: And that's what Charlie was so good at.

1439
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:40,680
Speaker 11: So with all respect to you and all gratitude for

1440
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 11: being such a big part of his life the last

1441
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 11: couple of years, Bobby, good to.

1442
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:46,679
Speaker 2: See you, m Vice.

1443
01:13:47,360 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 26: Thank you man Charlie.

1444
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 6: I remember when we were starting these out and.

1445
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 1: It was that like that, you know, it was like this.

1446
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 1: It was like it was like your average three rows.

1447
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 1: It was like your average political meeting where there was

1448
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 1: like twelve people in a room and this is this

1449
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 1: is awesome.

1450
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 7: This, in my personal opinion, was the most over the

1451
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:23,599
Speaker 7: top Trump event that I've ever covered.

1452
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: This is the number one boots on the ground operation

1453
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:27,600
Speaker 1: of the country. We're working directly in harmony at the

1454
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 1: Trump campaign. It's been vetted, it's been clear, it's been blessed.

1455
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:31,760
Speaker 1: You can see there, and we're going to try to

1456
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:34,479
Speaker 1: win this thing. No guarantees, it's what we do that matters,

1457
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:36,640
Speaker 1: mister President. I can tell you this room is one

1458
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:37,520
Speaker 1: hundred percent.

1459
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 2: With you and we have your back. God bless you.

1460
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 3: Thank you.

1461
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:42,599
Speaker 5: The first.

1462
01:15:42,560 --> 01:16:11,599
Speaker 15: And it's time for a whole new generation to wise

1463
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:14,799
Speaker 15: up and rise up the Charlie Kirk Show.

1464
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:18,800
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.

1465
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 11: I'm jd Vance and joining us now is a.

1466
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 2: Very special guest.

1467
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 11: The White House Chief of Staff, the person the President

1468
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 11: of the United States calls the most powerful woman in

1469
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 11: the world. It always embarrasses her, which is why I

1470
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 11: have to say it every time. My introducer, Susie Wiles,

1471
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:35,680
Speaker 11: who is such a vital role of what we do

1472
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:37,920
Speaker 11: in the White House every single day, such a vital

1473
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:39,120
Speaker 11: role of the success of the.

1474
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four campaign.

1475
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:42,479
Speaker 11: Susie, I just want to say thanks so much for

1476
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:44,000
Speaker 11: joining us here, to honor.

1477
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 2: Charlie here, I want to tell you a little story.

1478
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:49,000
Speaker 11: You may not be aware of this story, but and

1479
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 11: maybe you didn't pay attention to the social media chatter.

1480
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 2: But if I go.

1481
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 11: Back to probably six weeks after I had been selected

1482
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 11: by the President, I was the vice presidential nominee. We

1483
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 11: were campaigning hard, and there was a weird little social

1484
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:05,720
Speaker 11: media campaign to try to get Susie Wiles fired from

1485
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:07,600
Speaker 11: her job, and she was running the Trump campaign at

1486
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 11: the time. Campaign It was a full on campaign, and

1487
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 11: I remember talking Charlie Kirk called me and he said,

1488
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:17,679
Speaker 11: this thing to take down Susie is an op, meaning

1489
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:20,599
Speaker 11: it's an operation meant to discredit us, meant to make

1490
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 11: us less effective. And the reason he thought it was

1491
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 11: so important to protect you is because he had such

1492
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:26,760
Speaker 11: great respect for you. He thought you were such an

1493
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,600
Speaker 11: incredible part of the team. You were sort of the

1494
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:33,559
Speaker 11: person that held all the chaos together operationally in the

1495
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 11: midst of that very intense campaign. And so Charlie was thinking,

1496
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 11: as he always did, a little ahead of the curve.

1497
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 11: He was asking himself, what are the problems that are

1498
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 11: out there so I can be two or three steps ahead,

1499
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:48,240
Speaker 11: And he was fighting for you, maybe even before you

1500
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 11: realized that there was this thing against you. And it

1501
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:55,360
Speaker 11: was never a situation where anybody ever doubted Susie Wiles.

1502
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:58,599
Speaker 11: But I wonder sometimes if the reason why you had

1503
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 11: such good and strong support from the very beginning is

1504
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:04,680
Speaker 11: because you had such a powerful voice in the Republican

1505
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:06,160
Speaker 11: Party standing with.

1506
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:07,000
Speaker 2: You every step of the way.

1507
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 11: So I just wanted to tell you that because it's

1508
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 11: one of the reasons why I admire and respect to you.

1509
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 11: I know Charlie loved, admired and respected you, but I've

1510
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:17,160
Speaker 11: told my Charlie story. Maybe talk in those days of

1511
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:20,920
Speaker 11: the campaign. What an important part Charlie was of our

1512
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 11: efforts and our ultimately successful efforts to install the boss

1513
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 11: in the Oval office.

1514
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 24: Thank you, mister Vice President, and thank you for doing this.

1515
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 28: Of course, I have a Charlie story that maybe hasn't

1516
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:34,719
Speaker 28: been told, at least not enough. In the twenty twenty

1517
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 28: four campaign, the law changed, election law changed, and campaigns

1518
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:42,240
Speaker 28: were finally allowed to coordinate with outside organizations.

1519
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 24: One of the biggest.

1520
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:46,720
Speaker 28: Expenses in the campaign is canvassing. The door to door

1521
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 28: activity that it, particularly.

1522
01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:50,960
Speaker 24: In a Donald Trump campaign, is critically important.

1523
01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 11: And so we were liberated.

1524
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:57,720
Speaker 28: We had license to coordinate with everybody, and everybody came

1525
01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:00,800
Speaker 28: to the table and everybody was going to canvas at

1526
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 28: this level with this sort of fidelity to our.

1527
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 24: Plan, and included Charlie.

1528
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:10,719
Speaker 28: And at the end of this whole odyssey, the person

1529
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:13,680
Speaker 28: that really did everything they said they were going to

1530
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:15,759
Speaker 28: do and more was Turning Point.

1531
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:19,760
Speaker 24: He had an army of good people who were motivated and.

1532
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:24,760
Speaker 28: Passionate, and they delivered one hundred and ten percent. And

1533
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:27,320
Speaker 28: I don't know that Charlie gets enough credit for that.

1534
01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:30,639
Speaker 28: That was a tactical assist to the campaign. We didn't

1535
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:32,719
Speaker 28: have to pay for it, we didn't have to think

1536
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 28: about it, we didn't.

1537
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:38,920
Speaker 24: Have to follow up after him. It was an immeasurable help.

1538
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:41,720
Speaker 28: And most of those canvassers were some of the same

1539
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 28: young people that voted for the president and convinced their families.

1540
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 28: So in many ways, it was really a pivotal effort.

1541
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 11: That's awesome to hear, and it's consistent, Susie with this

1542
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 11: theme that I've been coming back to today, which is

1543
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 11: that Charlie was a brilliant order and communicator and debater.

1544
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:01,639
Speaker 11: He would go to these college campuses and give them

1545
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 11: the courage to speak, to build friendships with fellow Conservatives

1546
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 11: and Republicans. But everybody knows that because everybody saw it.

1547
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 11: What they didn't see necessarily is that Charlie was this

1548
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 11: very effective strategic operator at all levels of politics. And

1549
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 11: you know, one of the things that the President always

1550
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 11: talks about is that compared to really not just his

1551
01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 11: campaign in twenty sixteen, but any Republican campaign for the

1552
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:32,360
Speaker 11: past forty years, we saw young voters shift in every

1553
01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 11: county and every demographic, white, black, rich, or poor. Young

1554
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:39,960
Speaker 11: voters shifted right in twenty twenty four in this very

1555
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:43,320
Speaker 11: profound way. Can can you talk a little bit about

1556
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 11: what Charlie did to make that happen and why this

1557
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 11: youth movement that he really built. I mean, he was

1558
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:52,599
Speaker 11: a kid when he started turning points to USA. How

1559
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 11: this youth movement, without any of us probably being able

1560
01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:58,799
Speaker 11: to prophesize or predict it, ended up helping us deliver

1561
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:00,759
Speaker 11: the White House and twenty twenty.

1562
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 24: Four, well, I explained the tactical benefit.

1563
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:06,560
Speaker 28: We never thought again about Arizona or Pennsylvania.

1564
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 2: Charlie had it.

1565
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:10,920
Speaker 28: And as for the youth vote, I mean he was

1566
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:15,200
Speaker 28: he evangelized. He was on every college campus in every

1567
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 28: part of the country, and he was broader than that.

1568
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:20,680
Speaker 24: A turning point event was something.

1569
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:22,600
Speaker 28: You had to be at, had to pay attention to.

1570
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:25,000
Speaker 28: I know President Trump felt that way. I think you

1571
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:29,160
Speaker 28: did too, and I struck by you had Secretary Kennedy

1572
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 28: on just a minute ago, and Charlie was instrumental, very

1573
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 28: in Secretary Kennedy coming to the ticket and you too.

1574
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:39,760
Speaker 2: Yep, that's right, I know that.

1575
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:42,400
Speaker 11: And that's one of the things that you know. I'm

1576
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:44,880
Speaker 11: sitting in this office here in the West Wing or

1577
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 11: White House complex. And if it weren't for Charlie Kirk,

1578
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 11: I would not be the Vice President of the United States.

1579
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 11: And I think about that a lot. I thought about

1580
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 11: that a lot of the last few days. I mean,

1581
01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:59,599
Speaker 11: other than the himself, Charlie was maybe the most important

1582
01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 11: person and both getting us across the finish line, but

1583
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 11: actually getting me the nomination to begin with. It was

1584
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:09,439
Speaker 11: his grassroots army. It was his advocacy that I think

1585
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:13,360
Speaker 11: maybe acredible selection for VP in the first place. And

1586
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 11: obviously the president makes the final determination, but it takes

1587
01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:20,439
Speaker 11: a team, and Charlie was such an incredibly important part

1588
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 11: of that team. It's one of the reasons why I

1589
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:24,799
Speaker 11: feel so indebted to him, and one of the reasons

1590
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:29,439
Speaker 11: I mean, I worry Susie that he is fundamentally just

1591
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,599
Speaker 11: an irreplaceable figure, and he is. There's no way that

1592
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 11: we can replace Charles. I mean, certainly not for Erica

1593
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 11: and the beautiful kids. They're never going to get back

1594
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:42,439
Speaker 11: what the assassin's gun took away from them. But the

1595
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:47,680
Speaker 11: movement has to figure out a way of continuing and

1596
01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:50,200
Speaker 11: continuing to build on what he built, and continuing to

1597
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 11: go to college campuses and talk to young people. And

1598
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 11: not just that, but when we won power, Charlie was

1599
01:22:56,880 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 11: a critical part of getting us the right people staffing.

1600
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:03,160
Speaker 11: So talk a little bit about that, because other than

1601
01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:04,759
Speaker 11: the President of the United States, the chief of staff

1602
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:08,759
Speaker 11: is probably the most important persition, picking cabinet secretaries, picking

1603
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 11: all these important staffers.

1604
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 2: Talk about why Charlie mattered so much.

1605
01:23:13,080 --> 01:23:15,559
Speaker 11: And not just helping us get there, but helping us

1606
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 11: succeed now that we're here.

1607
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 28: I think he worked in transition every day in one

1608
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 28: place or another, doing one thing or another, and so

1609
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:28,799
Speaker 28: very much the Trump administration has his imprint. My worry

1610
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:31,160
Speaker 28: about turning point, and I couldn't agree with you more.

1611
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 28: It has to be bigger and better and growing all

1612
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:39,200
Speaker 28: the time. Is one of Charlie's gifts was not talking

1613
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:43,200
Speaker 28: at you, but engaging you where you were and it's

1614
01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 28: hard sometimes you know, tough things are coming at you.

1615
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 24: He never shrunk from that.

1616
01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:51,280
Speaker 28: So whoever, I can't say takes Charlie's place because that

1617
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 28: will be nobody. But whoever comes in to be sort

1618
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:57,040
Speaker 28: of a voice of turning point, they need to be

1619
01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 28: somebody that's willing to engage at a level where you're

1620
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 28: not talking to the followers. You're talking to the people

1621
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:06,240
Speaker 28: that are not and engaging them where they are. That's

1622
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 28: going to be the hardest thing I think to replace.

1623
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:11,840
Speaker 11: I really agree with that, Susie, and I've talked to

1624
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 11: a lot of the Turning Point staff and what they

1625
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:18,160
Speaker 11: tell me is, operationally, organizationally, Charlie.

1626
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:18,719
Speaker 2: Had built a machine.

1627
01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 11: I mean, some of these people have been working with

1628
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:23,639
Speaker 11: Charlie since he was literally a teenager, and he trusted them.

1629
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:28,120
Speaker 11: Where I think he is genuinely irreplaceable is, for lack

1630
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 11: of a better word, on the talent side of it. Right,

1631
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:33,200
Speaker 11: how do you find a person who goes into these places,

1632
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 11: who takes very difficult questions, sometimes very hostile questions, and

1633
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 11: your point is actually engaging with them, is not talking

1634
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 11: at them. Now, they are all these social media clips,

1635
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 11: and I was talking about this earlier, so forgive the audience,

1636
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 11: forgive me for repeating myself, but he was not just

1637
01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:53,080
Speaker 11: the super viral clips of him getting the better of

1638
01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:54,800
Speaker 11: a person in a debate. If you sit down and

1639
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 11: watch a Charlie Kirk event at one of these universities,

1640
01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 11: it is ninety percent I'm almost acting like a big

1641
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:03,600
Speaker 11: brother of these kids, right, If it's a young conservative

1642
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:06,519
Speaker 11: who's very nervous about the crowd and nervous about asking

1643
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:09,879
Speaker 11: a question, Charlie steps up and says, don't be nervous.

1644
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:12,720
Speaker 11: I was nervous at one point. Just speak slowly, get

1645
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 11: your question out. He would coach them through it. If

1646
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:17,720
Speaker 11: there was a young progressive who is getting jeered by

1647
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:19,759
Speaker 11: some of the people in the audience, he say no, no, no, guys,

1648
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:22,880
Speaker 11: let her speak, Let him speak. This is part of

1649
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:25,439
Speaker 11: open debate, is they get to hear from us and

1650
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:27,559
Speaker 11: we get to hear from them. And I thought that

1651
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:29,760
Speaker 11: was just such an incredible thing that he did. I mean,

1652
01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:31,720
Speaker 11: I've talked to a number of friends. I've talked to

1653
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:35,080
Speaker 11: you know, Tucker. I've talked to Laura Ingram, I've talked

1654
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:37,920
Speaker 11: to a number of people about how we can try

1655
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:41,880
Speaker 11: to replace that part of it, not in the way

1656
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:45,200
Speaker 11: that Charlie did it. Charlie is irreplaceable, but we can

1657
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:47,880
Speaker 11: at least have a team of people try to step

1658
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:49,720
Speaker 11: into the gap and make sure that we're carrying this

1659
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 11: message to college campus. Because if we don't do that,

1660
01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 11: I think that's the way in which I worry about

1661
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 11: the assassin winning is we've got to carry on the man.

1662
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:02,720
Speaker 11: We've got to carry on the torch, and we've got

1663
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 11: to do it by continuing the message, continuing. That's why

1664
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 11: I'm doing the show today, is I just wanted to

1665
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:09,759
Speaker 11: send a signal that we're not going to let Charlie's

1666
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:12,160
Speaker 11: mantle be discarded. We're going to keep on carrying it.

1667
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:15,400
Speaker 11: And one final thing that I wanted to talk about is,

1668
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:17,600
Speaker 11: you know, you mentioned Bobby Kennedy earlier, and obviously he

1669
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:21,160
Speaker 11: was on the segment before you. What Charlie was so

1670
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:26,480
Speaker 11: good at was marshaling political action into a policy outcome

1671
01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:29,519
Speaker 11: that's our a person outcome. And this is where I

1672
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:31,679
Speaker 11: want to talk about Bobby and I have so many

1673
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:34,519
Speaker 11: of the really good nominees that we had, they weren't

1674
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:36,519
Speaker 11: easy to get across the finish line. And that's no

1675
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 11: insult to our great nominees. Great people are always going

1676
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 11: to be a little bit harder. If it's a you know,

1677
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,439
Speaker 11: a person who doesn't make any controversy, who doesn't say

1678
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:46,919
Speaker 11: anything especially controversial.

1679
01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:47,759
Speaker 2: That person's going to be easy.

1680
01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:50,160
Speaker 11: It's but the President didn't want that. He wanted to

1681
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:53,840
Speaker 11: staff the administration with people who had interesting things to say,

1682
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:56,599
Speaker 11: who brought unique perspectives and that meant that we were

1683
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,240
Speaker 11: going to have some tough confirmation fights. Maybe, you know,

1684
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 11: we've got about two minutes left. Talk a little bit

1685
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:05,439
Speaker 11: about the role that Charlie played on the inside, on

1686
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 11: the outside, and making sure that all of these great

1687
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 11: nominations that we had actually got across the finish line.

1688
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:15,080
Speaker 11: In a town where we've got fifty three GOP senators

1689
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:18,759
Speaker 11: and we could only lose three for any particular nomination.

1690
01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:21,240
Speaker 28: Well, I would say you and Charlie were a good

1691
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:25,880
Speaker 28: tag team. Let's take Bobby or Pete for example. The

1692
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:30,280
Speaker 28: President really didn't want a homogenized cabinet. He wanted different

1693
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 28: people that were, for whatever reason, a part of a

1694
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:37,840
Speaker 28: movement that we need to we need to keep. There

1695
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:41,559
Speaker 28: were interest groups, there were coalitions, and people that came

1696
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:46,639
Speaker 28: to be Trump voters. We don't have an exact number,

1697
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:49,160
Speaker 28: but it was certainly more than a few. And now

1698
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:51,320
Speaker 28: we have three and a half years to convert Trump

1699
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 28: voters to being Republicans so that in twenty twenty eight

1700
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:58,240
Speaker 28: we can keep the White House, the House in the Senate.

1701
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:02,200
Speaker 28: That's what Charlie helped us think through off speak. For myself,

1702
01:28:02,200 --> 01:28:05,840
Speaker 28: that's what Charlie helped me think through. Yes, his expertise

1703
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 28: was with young people, but he knew so much about everything,

1704
01:28:10,240 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 28: and he knew that there was this group of people

1705
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:16,320
Speaker 28: we now call Maha that were out there looking for

1706
01:28:16,439 --> 01:28:20,920
Speaker 28: a home. He found Bobby and introduced Bobby into our world,

1707
01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:22,360
Speaker 28: and now.

1708
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 24: He's the secretary of AHHS.

1709
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:28,559
Speaker 28: So that's the kind of thinking that we saw Charlie

1710
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:33,439
Speaker 28: all the time do. And I think that the movement

1711
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:36,799
Speaker 28: cannot be or he cannot be replaced by any one person.

1712
01:28:37,320 --> 01:28:40,120
Speaker 28: He's got to be replaced by you, by Don Trump,

1713
01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:45,200
Speaker 28: by so many others that are good communicators and can

1714
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:46,840
Speaker 28: be taking as.

1715
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:47,439
Speaker 21: Well as giving.

1716
01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:49,960
Speaker 2: You heard it from the White House Chief of Staff.

1717
01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 11: It's up to all of us, including those in the audience,

1718
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:55,360
Speaker 11: to keep on the legacy of Charlie kirk Next up,

1719
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:58,000
Speaker 11: I have some closing thoughts to share about my dear friend.

1720
01:28:58,479 --> 01:28:59,599
Speaker 2: We will be right back.

1721
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:11,200
Speaker 13: Thanks, Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break.

1722
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:12,440
Speaker 10: I'm Terrence Bates.

1723
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:15,920
Speaker 13: The assassination of Charlie Kirk is and will likely continue

1724
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:20,000
Speaker 13: to grip the nation's consciousness. Utah Governor Spencer Cox saying

1725
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:24,400
Speaker 13: the man accused of killing Charlie is not cooperating with investigators.

1726
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:27,560
Speaker 11: He is not confessed to two authorities.

1727
01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:30,360
Speaker 2: He is, he is, he is not cooperating.

1728
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:33,560
Speaker 16: But but but all the people around him were cooperating,

1729
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:36,960
Speaker 16: and I think that's that's that's very important. There were

1730
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:41,400
Speaker 16: reports yesterday that that that that we can confirm that

1731
01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:45,720
Speaker 16: that his roommate was indeed a boyfriend who is transitioning

1732
01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:49,840
Speaker 16: from from male to female. Uh, that's that's information that

1733
01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:53,760
Speaker 16: the FBI had had mentioned yesterday. We can't confirm that

1734
01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:58,080
Speaker 16: as well, and that that that he is cooperating with

1735
01:29:58,080 --> 01:29:59,280
Speaker 16: with authorities as well.

1736
01:30:00,200 --> 01:30:03,640
Speaker 13: The twenty two year old accused assassin remains in custody.

1737
01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:07,960
Speaker 13: Formal charges are expected tomorrow. In the meantime, federal agents

1738
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:11,599
Speaker 13: are reportedly zeroing in on whether the assassination was part

1739
01:30:11,600 --> 01:30:15,519
Speaker 13: of a broader plot. Investigators are now saying that they're

1740
01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:20,799
Speaker 13: looking at the suspect's network and online footprint. Meantime, funeral

1741
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:24,120
Speaker 13: arrangements for conservative activists Charlie Kirk are.

1742
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:25,240
Speaker 10: Underway and set.

1743
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:29,200
Speaker 13: The assassinated thirty one year old will be funeralized next Sunday,

1744
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:33,480
Speaker 13: with the service being held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

1745
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:35,960
Speaker 13: President Trump says he'll be on hand.

1746
01:30:35,720 --> 01:30:36,960
Speaker 10: For the final goodbye.

1747
01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:41,200
Speaker 13: Next week's ceremony reportedly being organized by Turning Point USA,

1748
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:45,559
Speaker 13: which is the organization Charlie Kirk founded. We're also hearing

1749
01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:48,840
Speaker 13: that several private memorial events are scheduled leading up to

1750
01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:52,519
Speaker 13: the funeral, including some in the nation's capital. On Sunday,

1751
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:55,720
Speaker 13: a who's who of Washington, d C. Came together to

1752
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:58,800
Speaker 13: remember Charlie Kirk at the Kennedy Center. The list of

1753
01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:02,880
Speaker 13: speakers included Congress Members Anna Paulina Luna, Andy Biggs, as

1754
01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:06,360
Speaker 13: well as House Speaker Mike Johnson, Health and Human Services

1755
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:09,080
Speaker 13: Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junr, as well as Director of

1756
01:31:09,160 --> 01:31:13,000
Speaker 13: National Intelligence Telcy Gabbart also took the microphone, but it

1757
01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:15,800
Speaker 13: was White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt who brought a

1758
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:18,240
Speaker 13: message from both the White House as well as from

1759
01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:21,040
Speaker 13: her heart. That's a great check off your headlines. I'm

1760
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:30,920
Speaker 13: Terrence Bates.

1761
01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:46,320
Speaker 11: Shortly after Usha and I left Charlie's family and Charlie's

1762
01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:49,960
Speaker 11: remains in Arizona, I wrote a story in The Nation

1763
01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:54,439
Speaker 11: magazine about my dear friend Charlie Kirk. Now The Nation

1764
01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:59,000
Speaker 11: isn't a fringe blog. It's a well funded, well respected

1765
01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:02,240
Speaker 11: magazine whose public plishing history goes back to the American

1766
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:08,320
Speaker 11: Civil War. George Soros's Open Society Foundation funds this magazine,

1767
01:32:08,640 --> 01:32:12,559
Speaker 11: as does the Ford Foundation and many other wealthy titans

1768
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:17,960
Speaker 11: of the American progressive movement. The writer accuses Charlie of saying,

1769
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:22,600
Speaker 11: and I quote, black women do not have brain processing

1770
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,760
Speaker 11: power to be taken seriously. But if you go and

1771
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:28,920
Speaker 11: watch the clip, the very clip she links to, you

1772
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:32,719
Speaker 11: realize he never said anything like that. He never uttered

1773
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:37,080
Speaker 11: those words. He made an argument against affirmative action as

1774
01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:41,800
Speaker 11: a policy, he criticized a specific Supreme Court justice as

1775
01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:45,360
Speaker 11: an individual. He never said anything about black women as

1776
01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:48,599
Speaker 11: a group. He made an argument for judging people of

1777
01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:53,640
Speaker 11: all races and backgrounds by their own individual merits. The

1778
01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:57,559
Speaker 11: very evidence she provides, this hack of a writer shows

1779
01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:01,000
Speaker 11: that she lied about a dead man, and yet she

1780
01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:05,240
Speaker 11: wrote it, an esteemed magazine published it, It made it

1781
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:11,200
Speaker 11: through the editors, and of course liberal billionaires rewarded that attack.

1782
01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 2: Now, of course, even.

1783
01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:15,720
Speaker 11: If Charlie had uttered those words, it wouldn't mean that

1784
01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:20,160
Speaker 11: he deserved his fate. But consider the level of propaganda

1785
01:33:20,240 --> 01:33:24,360
Speaker 11: at work. Charlie was gunned down in broad daylight, and

1786
01:33:24,439 --> 01:33:28,920
Speaker 11: well funded institutions of the left lied about what he said,

1787
01:33:29,400 --> 01:33:35,080
Speaker 11: so was to justify his murder. This is soulless and evil.

1788
01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:38,559
Speaker 11: But I was struck not just by the dishonesty of

1789
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:42,160
Speaker 11: this smear, but by the glee over a young husband's

1790
01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:47,600
Speaker 11: and young father's death. Quote she says he was an

1791
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:55,040
Speaker 11: unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist the nation wrote, who

1792
01:33:55,080 --> 01:33:58,880
Speaker 11: often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was

1793
01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:02,480
Speaker 11: no other way to pretend that it was morally correct.

1794
01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:07,120
Speaker 11: He had children, as do many vile people. That's what

1795
01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:12,240
Speaker 11: they said. He had children, as do many vile people. Now,

1796
01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:15,640
Speaker 11: hours before this smear was published, my wife and I

1797
01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:18,800
Speaker 11: had the honor of escorting Charlie's body back to his

1798
01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:23,120
Speaker 11: home in Arizona. We took his wife, Erica, we love you,

1799
01:34:23,960 --> 01:34:27,040
Speaker 11: his parents, his sister, and a few of his best

1800
01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:30,559
Speaker 11: friends with us, and as they af floaded Charlie's casket

1801
01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:34,760
Speaker 11: from Air Force two, I worried that Erica would collapse

1802
01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:38,680
Speaker 11: with grief. Now I'm a very lucky husband to a

1803
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:42,439
Speaker 11: very wonderful wife, but I have never been prouder of

1804
01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:45,400
Speaker 11: my wife at that moment, as she held Erica in

1805
01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:49,320
Speaker 11: Erica's very darkest hour. And I thought of Erica as

1806
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:53,040
Speaker 11: I read that disgusting attack on Charlie. He had children,

1807
01:34:53,640 --> 01:34:58,840
Speaker 11: as do many vile people. That's what they said about him.

1808
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:03,479
Speaker 11: I said, the Lord's prayer, our Father, who art in heaven,

1809
01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:06,360
Speaker 11: How would be thy name, Thy kingdom?

1810
01:35:06,439 --> 01:35:06,639
Speaker 2: Come?

1811
01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:09,880
Speaker 11: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

1812
01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:14,240
Speaker 11: And I asked Usha what Erica had said to her

1813
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:16,680
Speaker 11: earlier in the day in a private moment, And I

1814
01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:19,040
Speaker 11: asked Erica's permission to share this.

1815
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:25,479
Speaker 2: My wife told me she asked me for advice.

1816
01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:29,639
Speaker 11: Erica asked me for advice on how she should tell

1817
01:35:29,680 --> 01:35:34,200
Speaker 11: her children that their father had been murdered. She asked

1818
01:35:34,240 --> 01:35:38,760
Speaker 11: my wife how to tell her beautiful kids that their

1819
01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:42,719
Speaker 11: father and my dear, very dear friend is no longer

1820
01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:46,599
Speaker 11: with us. And as she was doing it, there were

1821
01:35:46,640 --> 01:35:51,679
Speaker 11: people dancing on that father's grave. Now, I have heard

1822
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:55,479
Speaker 11: many calls in the last few days for unity and

1823
01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:58,400
Speaker 11: for healing in the wake of Charlie's assassination.

1824
01:35:58,600 --> 01:35:59,320
Speaker 2: You have no.

1825
01:35:59,320 --> 01:36:03,960
Speaker 11: Idea how desperately I want that, how gratified I was

1826
01:36:04,439 --> 01:36:08,000
Speaker 11: when democratic friends and even former Senate colleagues reached out

1827
01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:12,040
Speaker 11: to offer their condolences to me. I'm so thankful, and

1828
01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:14,840
Speaker 11: I know there are so many like them all across

1829
01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:19,439
Speaker 11: our great country. I am desperate to wrap my arms

1830
01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 11: around them as we all unite to condemn political violence

1831
01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:27,360
Speaker 11: and the ideas that cause it. Psalm one thirty three

1832
01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:31,439
Speaker 11: tells us, Behold, how good and how pleasant it is

1833
01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:36,439
Speaker 11: for brethren to dwell together in unity. It is like

1834
01:36:36,600 --> 01:36:40,760
Speaker 11: the precious ointment upon the head whole. How badly have

1835
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:43,880
Speaker 11: I craved that precious ointment in recent days? And I

1836
01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:49,120
Speaker 11: believe we can have it. But first, first, we must

1837
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:52,599
Speaker 11: tell the truth. It's the only way to honor Charlie.

1838
01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:56,080
Speaker 11: For what was he if not a man who told

1839
01:36:56,120 --> 01:37:00,559
Speaker 11: the truth in every place, in every environment. Now, the

1840
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:05,000
Speaker 11: most important truth Charlie told is this, that long ago

1841
01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:09,800
Speaker 11: a man begotten, not made, came down from heaven and

1842
01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:13,719
Speaker 11: by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

1843
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:17,400
Speaker 11: and became a man for our sake. He was crucified

1844
01:37:17,439 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 11: under conscious pilot and suff death, and was buried and

1845
01:37:21,360 --> 01:37:26,280
Speaker 11: rose again on the third day. Charlie believed, as I do,

1846
01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:32,280
Speaker 11: that all the truth he told flowed from that fundamental principle.

1847
01:37:33,520 --> 01:37:37,519
Speaker 11: I really do believe that we can come together in

1848
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:43,559
Speaker 11: this country. I believe we must. But unity, real unity,

1849
01:37:44,280 --> 01:37:48,360
Speaker 11: can be found only after climbing the mountain of truth,

1850
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:52,559
Speaker 11: and there are difficult truths we must confront in our country.

1851
01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:57,680
Speaker 11: One truth is that twenty four percent of self described

1852
01:37:57,800 --> 01:38:02,240
Speaker 11: quote very liberals believe it is acceptable to be happy

1853
01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:05,559
Speaker 11: about the death of a political opponent, while only three

1854
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:09,880
Speaker 11: percent of self described very conservatives agree. Three percent is

1855
01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:14,479
Speaker 11: too many, of course. Another truth is that twenty six

1856
01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:19,320
Speaker 11: percent of young liberals believe political violence is sometimes justified,

1857
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:23,400
Speaker 11: and only seven percent of young conservatives say the same. Again,

1858
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:27,479
Speaker 11: too high a number in a country of three hundred

1859
01:38:27,479 --> 01:38:30,000
Speaker 11: and thirty million people. You can, of course find one

1860
01:38:30,040 --> 01:38:33,400
Speaker 11: person of a given political persuasion justifying this or that,

1861
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:38,720
Speaker 11: or almost anything. But the data is clear people on

1862
01:38:38,760 --> 01:38:43,280
Speaker 11: the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence.

1863
01:38:43,360 --> 01:38:46,880
Speaker 11: This is not a both sides problem. If both sides

1864
01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:49,920
Speaker 11: have a problem, one side has a much bigger and

1865
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:51,600
Speaker 11: malignant problem.

1866
01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:52,559
Speaker 2: And that is the truth.

1867
01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:59,240
Speaker 11: We must be told that problem has terrible consequences. The

1868
01:38:59,360 --> 01:39:03,040
Speaker 11: leader of our party, Donald J. Trump, escaped an assassin's

1869
01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:06,639
Speaker 11: bullet by less than an inch. Our House majority Leavers,

1870
01:39:06,880 --> 01:39:12,120
Speaker 11: Steven Scalise came within seconds of death by an assassin himself,

1871
01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:17,559
Speaker 11: now the most influential conservative activist in generations, Our friend

1872
01:39:17,640 --> 01:39:23,439
Speaker 11: Charlie has been murdered. This violence, it doesn't come from nowhere.

1873
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:24,599
Speaker 2: Now.

1874
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:27,960
Speaker 11: Any political movement, violent or not violent, is a collection

1875
01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:31,320
Speaker 11: of forces. It's like a pyramid that stacks on top

1876
01:39:31,439 --> 01:39:35,760
Speaker 11: one support on top of the other. That Peermid's got

1877
01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:39,479
Speaker 11: a foundation of donors, of activists, of journalists now, of

1878
01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:43,760
Speaker 11: social media influencers, and of course of politicians. Not every

1879
01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:46,439
Speaker 11: member of that pyramid would commit a murder. In fact,

1880
01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:49,599
Speaker 11: over ninety nine percent I'm sure would not. But by

1881
01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:55,000
Speaker 11: celebrating that murder, apologizing for it, and emphasizing not Charlie's innocence,

1882
01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:58,120
Speaker 11: but the fact that he said things some didn't like,

1883
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:01,240
Speaker 11: even to the point of line about what he actually said,

1884
01:40:01,680 --> 01:40:05,320
Speaker 11: many of these people are creating an environment where things

1885
01:40:05,439 --> 01:40:09,080
Speaker 11: like this are inevitably going to happen. A couple of

1886
01:40:09,080 --> 01:40:12,080
Speaker 11: months ago, I head Land a fundraiser in southern Californian

1887
01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:14,439
Speaker 11: Since you know we'd be out there anyways, my wife

1888
01:40:14,479 --> 01:40:17,719
Speaker 11: and I decided to take our kids to Disneyland one weekend.

1889
01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:20,240
Speaker 11: We had fun, and to be clear, most of the

1890
01:40:20,240 --> 01:40:22,880
Speaker 11: guests said very nice things or they just left us alone.

1891
01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:26,559
Speaker 11: But there was a loud and very coole minority that

1892
01:40:26,600 --> 01:40:29,920
Speaker 11: would shout at my children, who were eight, five and three,

1893
01:40:30,479 --> 01:40:33,840
Speaker 11: whenever they got the opportunity. You should disown your dad,

1894
01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:37,200
Speaker 11: you little, one middle aged woman yelled at my five

1895
01:40:37,280 --> 01:40:40,440
Speaker 11: year old. Tell the Secret Service to protect the constitution,

1896
01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:44,800
Speaker 11: not your father, screamed another. Are these women violent? Probably not.

1897
01:40:45,280 --> 01:40:48,400
Speaker 11: Are they deranged, certainly? And while our.

1898
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:50,880
Speaker 29: Side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is

1899
01:40:50,920 --> 01:40:54,759
Speaker 29: a statistical fact that most of the lunatics and American

1900
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:59,400
Speaker 29: politics today are proud members of the far left.

1901
01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:02,920
Speaker 11: After Charlie died, one of his friends and one of

1902
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:07,280
Speaker 11: our senior White House staffers, had left leaning operatives in

1903
01:41:07,320 --> 01:41:11,599
Speaker 11: his neighborhood, passing out leaflets telling people what he looked

1904
01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:15,280
Speaker 11: like and where he lived, encouraging neighbors to harass him

1905
01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:18,599
Speaker 11: or God forbid, to do worse. While he was mourning

1906
01:41:19,320 --> 01:41:22,360
Speaker 11: his dead friend, he and his wife had to worry

1907
01:41:22,439 --> 01:41:26,400
Speaker 11: about the political terrorists drawing a big target on the

1908
01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:31,200
Speaker 11: home he shares with his young children. Are these people violent,

1909
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:35,200
Speaker 11: I hope not? But are they guilty of encouraging violence?

1910
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 11: You damn well better believe it. We can thank god

1911
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:41,920
Speaker 11: that most Democrats don't share these attitudes, and I do

1912
01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:47,360
Speaker 11: while acknowledging that something has gone very wrong with a

1913
01:41:47,439 --> 01:41:52,440
Speaker 11: lunatic fringe, a minority, but a growing and powerful minority

1914
01:41:52,760 --> 01:41:57,360
Speaker 11: on the far left. There is no unity with people

1915
01:41:57,360 --> 01:42:00,720
Speaker 11: who scream at children over their parents' politics. There is

1916
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:03,960
Speaker 11: no unity with someone who lies about what Charlie Kirk

1917
01:42:04,000 --> 01:42:06,920
Speaker 11: said in order to excuse his murder. There is no

1918
01:42:07,080 --> 01:42:10,800
Speaker 11: unity with someone who harasses an innocent family the day

1919
01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:13,920
Speaker 11: after the father of that family lost a dear friend.

1920
01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:17,559
Speaker 11: There is no unity with the people who celebrate Charlie

1921
01:42:17,600 --> 01:42:21,360
Speaker 11: Kirk's assassination. And there is no unity with the people

1922
01:42:21,520 --> 01:42:24,599
Speaker 11: who fund these articles, who pay the salaries of these

1923
01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:29,320
Speaker 11: terrorist sympathizers, who argue that Charlie Kirk, a loving husband

1924
01:42:29,360 --> 01:42:33,400
Speaker 11: and father, deserved a shot to the neck because he

1925
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:38,280
Speaker 11: spoke words with which they disagree. Did you know that

1926
01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:41,960
Speaker 11: the George Soros Open Society Foundation and the Ford Foundation,

1927
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:46,599
Speaker 11: the groups who funded that disgusting article justifying Charlie's death,

1928
01:42:46,880 --> 01:42:49,880
Speaker 11: Do you know they benefit from generous tax treatment. They

1929
01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:54,720
Speaker 11: are literally subsidized by you and me, the American taxpayer.

1930
01:42:54,760 --> 01:42:57,640
Speaker 11: And how do they reward us by setting fire to

1931
01:42:57,680 --> 01:43:01,040
Speaker 11: the house built by the American family over two hundred.

1932
01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:01,920
Speaker 2: And fifty years.

1933
01:43:02,520 --> 01:43:05,439
Speaker 11: I am desperate for our country to be united in

1934
01:43:05,520 --> 01:43:09,400
Speaker 11: condemnation of the actions and the ideas that killed my friend.

1935
01:43:09,439 --> 01:43:12,400
Speaker 11: I want it so badly that I will tell you

1936
01:43:12,479 --> 01:43:16,519
Speaker 11: a difficult truth. We can only have it with people

1937
01:43:16,600 --> 01:43:21,080
Speaker 11: who acknowledge that political violence is unacceptable, and when we

1938
01:43:21,200 --> 01:43:26,640
Speaker 11: work to dismantle the institutions that promote violence and terrorism

1939
01:43:26,760 --> 01:43:29,960
Speaker 11: in our own country. Now, our government, you heard me

1940
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:32,439
Speaker 11: talk to Stephen Miller about this, will be working very

1941
01:43:32,439 --> 01:43:35,240
Speaker 11: hard to do exactly that in the months to come.

1942
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:38,120
Speaker 11: We're not always going to get it right. We will

1943
01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:40,920
Speaker 11: sometimes move more slowly than you would like. We will

1944
01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:44,360
Speaker 11: sometimes move more slowly than I want us to. But

1945
01:43:44,439 --> 01:43:47,640
Speaker 11: I promise you that we will explore every option to

1946
01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:51,519
Speaker 11: bring real unity to our country and stop those who

1947
01:43:51,520 --> 01:43:54,519
Speaker 11: would kill their fellow Americans because they don't like what

1948
01:43:54,640 --> 01:43:58,799
Speaker 11: they say. But you have a rule too. Civil society,

1949
01:43:58,880 --> 01:44:02,280
Speaker 11: Charlie understood this well well. Is not just something that

1950
01:44:02,439 --> 01:44:08,479
Speaker 11: flows from the government. It flows from each and every

1951
01:44:08,840 --> 01:44:12,680
Speaker 11: one of us. It flows from all of us. So

1952
01:44:12,680 --> 01:44:16,000
Speaker 11: when you see someone celebrating Charlie's murder, call them out

1953
01:44:16,240 --> 01:44:19,879
Speaker 11: in hell, call their employer. We don't believe in political violence,

1954
01:44:19,960 --> 01:44:22,840
Speaker 11: but we do believe in civility, and there is no

1955
01:44:22,880 --> 01:44:28,680
Speaker 11: civility in the celebration of political assassination. Get involved, Get involved,

1956
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:31,839
Speaker 11: Get involved. It's the best way to honor Charlie's legacy.

1957
01:44:32,120 --> 01:44:35,280
Speaker 11: Start a chapter of TPUSA, or get involved in the

1958
01:44:35,280 --> 01:44:38,559
Speaker 11: one that already exists. If you're older, volunteer for your

1959
01:44:38,600 --> 01:44:40,840
Speaker 11: local party, write an op ed in your local paper,

1960
01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:44,519
Speaker 11: run for office. I can't promise you this is going

1961
01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:47,240
Speaker 11: to be easy. I can't promise you that all of

1962
01:44:47,320 --> 01:44:50,439
Speaker 11: us will avoid Charlie's fate. Can't promise you that I

1963
01:44:50,479 --> 01:44:54,599
Speaker 11: will avoid Charlie's fate. But the way to honor him

1964
01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:57,639
Speaker 11: is to shine the light of truth like a torch

1965
01:44:58,040 --> 01:44:59,920
Speaker 11: in the very darkest places.

1966
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:01,679
Speaker 2: Go do it.

1967
01:45:02,400 --> 01:45:04,200
Speaker 11: We owe it to our friend to ensure that his

1968
01:45:04,360 --> 01:45:07,799
Speaker 11: killer is not just prosecuted, but punished. And the worst

1969
01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:11,320
Speaker 11: punishment is not the death penalty, but the knowledge that

1970
01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:17,360
Speaker 11: Charlie's mission continues after he's gone. Saint Paul tells us

1971
01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 11: in the Book of Ephesians to put on the full

1972
01:45:20,240 --> 01:45:23,680
Speaker 11: armor of God. Let all of us put on that

1973
01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:27,479
Speaker 11: armor and commit ourselves to that cause for which Charlie

1974
01:45:27,520 --> 01:45:32,360
Speaker 11: gave his life, to rebuild a United States of America,

1975
01:45:32,960 --> 01:45:35,000
Speaker 11: and to do it by telling the truth.
