Bannon's War Room - Episode 4769： The Assasination Of Charlie Kirk

00:00:00.000 to you, Vaughn, but please stay on the line. Donald Trump has just posted on his social

00:00:04.900 media platform, Truth Social, the following, quote, the great and even legendary Charlie

00:00:10.200 Kirk is dead. No one understood or had the heart of the youth in the United States of

00:00:15.980 America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by all, especially me, and now

00:00:21.080 he is no longer with us. Melania and my sympathies go out to his beautiful wife, Erica, and family.

00:00:27.460 Charlie, we love you. Again, Donald Trump, President Donald Trump just posting on his

00:00:32.740 social media platform news that Charlie Kirk, conservative activist, has died in today's

00:00:41.220 shootings. Vaughn, Hilliard. Wednesday, 10 September in the year of earlier, 2025. No,

00:00:47.500 Charlie Kirk did not die. Charlie Kirk was assassinated today in Utah doing what Charlie

00:00:52.980 Kirk does. He's hosting one of his, not just the show today, but they did that from the

00:00:58.880 Phoenix studio, but Charlie was dialed in for part of it and was doing his show live, what

00:01:03.240 he always does, which is debating college kids and bringing the word of the MAGA movement

00:01:08.620 to the nation when he was gunned down in cold blood. Jack Posovic joins me. Jack, your thoughts?

00:01:15.160 It happened during the shooting itself, Jack, happened during your show. Tell me about it.

00:01:19.840 Well, it did. And, you know, we were getting the information in fast and furious and a lot

00:01:26.520 of signal or a lot of noise. You know, it's hard to separate that from the signal. We do

00:01:32.020 have signal at this point. And right now, all I can say is from Tanya and myself, our thoughts

00:01:38.420 and prayers absolutely go out to Erica, to the children, everyone in Charlie's family, the

00:01:46.280 team who was there. And we're, we're working behind the scenes as far as much as possible

00:01:53.180 to find out exactly what happened, to find out exactly who did this.

00:01:59.060 I mean, he was assassinated in cold blood. Charlie Kirk was assassinated in cold blood

00:02:02.820 today. And Charlie Kirk was, and is one of my best friends on this planet. And Charlie Kirk

00:02:09.540 is a hero. Charlie Kirk was the hero. America, when America needed a hero, God sent us a Charlie

00:02:16.920 Kirk to move the youth in 2024, to do the heavy lift that nobody else could do, what he did

00:02:23.640 with the campus and everything else.

00:02:25.760 Arizona and Pennsylvania and all the college campuses. But those two states with the ground

00:02:30.700 game, we would, President Trump, been very difficult, if not impossible, if he did not

00:02:35.580 have the ground game of turning point in the efforts of Charlie Kirk.

00:02:38.400 And after, after Butler, I said to Charlie, I said, Charlie, are you sure you still want

00:02:42.740 to keep doing these? And, and he said, he said, Jack, I'm never going to quit.

00:02:49.000 He wasn't going to quit. I mean, you see that today. Today at the, what is the university,

00:02:53.440 Utah Valley University, out right outside, south of Salt Lake City.

00:02:58.540 Yeah.

00:02:59.140 Charlie Kirk, it was about two o'clock. It was in your show. So it was like 2.15 Eastern

00:03:04.280 daylight time. So I guess it was 12.15 when he would normally have this massive crowd.

00:03:10.260 I want to make sure everybody understands that the, the individuals in that tweet, the

00:03:15.720 older guy looks like it is not the shooter. The shooter has not been apprehended.

00:03:19.380 We do not. President Trump has just, just announced that all flags to be lowered, half

00:03:28.340 masked until Sunday evening at 6 PM in honor of Charlie Kirk. And yes, Steve, to your point,

00:03:35.980 the shooter who, or the person who was originally suspected of being the shooter that was making

00:03:41.780 the rounds online, just from reporting now that that's not the shooter, obviously I'm

00:03:46.820 in touch with, look, everybody knows I'm close to this one. We're all close to this one.

00:03:51.480 We're in touch with everyone. We're in touch with, as of right now, what we're being told

00:03:55.200 is that that's not the guy. I want to say also, you could see from the video and the

00:04:00.420 shot, Charlie was in very bad shape from the beginning. And I want to give a shout out to

00:04:04.140 the people around him that did the emergency crew. I think it was airlifted. They, they

00:04:09.400 worked nonstop on this. Look, they, they gave him the immediate care, but, but that, that

00:04:14.360 kind of hit is something. And, and everybody I know in the military, special forces guys started

00:04:19.780 calling me up. They said, I've seen guys take hits like that on the battlefield. And when you

00:04:24.220 have an exit, we would like that. It is a, it is a very, very hard wound to try to save

00:04:30.820 someone's life just because of the quickness, because of the pressure, the oxygen to the

00:04:35.080 brain. Uh, this is something where it's, it's something where it just absolutely breaks

00:04:39.640 your heart because when you're there, you know what's happening and there's nothing

00:04:44.080 you can do about it.

00:04:45.320 No, by the way, it is a battlefield. I mean, Charlie Kirk was a warrior. Charlie Kirk wasn't

00:04:49.680 going to back down after the Butler assassination attempt last summer. You, you warned him, other

00:04:54.900 people warned him that, Hey, Charlie, you're, you're the most exposed person in anybody in

00:04:58.800 this movement because Charlie would look like a couple of times a week, go into these crowds

00:05:03.960 and look at that crowd today at, uh, at Utah Valley, uh, university. It had to be a couple

00:05:09.540 of thousand people, four or 5,000.

00:05:11.280 No, no, no, no, no, no, no. He knew he always knew and he knew any, and he would say, I need

00:05:16.920 to do it anyway because it has to be done. And if I don't do it, who else will? Because

00:05:21.900 he had a drive, he had a spirit, he was a builder, he was a father, a husband. And he

00:05:29.180 had this, unlike, unlike no one I've ever met, maybe outside of this room where he just, he

00:05:36.120 just would never stop. And you could be, it could be two in the morning. I could send Charlie

00:05:39.280 a text. He texted me right back. A hundred percent. Two in the morning, three in the

00:05:41.820 morning. The only time, the only time he would take Saturday off for the, uh, for the family.

00:05:45.480 Except for Saturday. Saturday, of course. Yeah. Saturday, Saturday, if you need him, you

00:05:48.800 go to Erica. And that was the time he said, that's my time. I want to be with God. I want

00:05:54.680 to pray. I want to unplug. But, but my point is, is that he, this guy would never stop working

00:06:00.580 24-7 operation. 24-6. And keep going. The movement that Charlie Kirk started will never

00:06:13.440 end. The movement of the youth, the movement to save this country, the movement to ignite

00:06:20.400 a fire for freedom and liberty across this republic. And by the way, the way that he always spoke

00:06:27.480 so forcefully for Christ Jesus, that no, whenever chance he had to give his testimony for what

00:06:34.840 he believed in and who he believed in and to lift up God's name, Charlie was always the

00:06:39.480 first one to do so.

00:06:40.440 So I know, uh, obviously people are shocked today. When we left you, uh, a couple hours

00:06:46.180 ago, what did I do? What I always do at the end of the show in the morning is toss to Charlie

00:06:50.420 Kirk for two hours of populist nationalism, followed by Jack Posovic, Steve Gruber, Eric Bolling,

00:06:57.180 and then back to the war room. Uh, it just shows you, Hey, every minute's precious for

00:07:02.660 people, particularly for people in this movement and people at the tip of the spear. I realize

00:07:07.020 everybody's rattled by this. Charlie Kirk being assassinated, shot down in cold blood, uh, for

00:07:12.300 the entire world to see the shooter is not apprehended yet. Yes. There's going to be, um, prayers

00:07:18.300 and mourning and half staff, uh, in nurturing the widow and a ceremony, but we have to have

00:07:25.460 steely resolve, right? Charlie Kirk's a casualty of war. We're in this country. We are. And the

00:07:34.540 mocking that you had on MSNBC today was completely and totally inappropriate by Matthew Dowd and the

00:07:40.600 owners of, uh, MSNBC ought to know he ought to be removed immediately and never come back on that

00:07:46.680 channel. His comments earlier today, when we first heard that Charlie was shot, right? And Katie

00:07:52.100 Turner was trying to do her best job, right? Given the circumstances, but you have a guest like on

00:07:55.980 there. We need steely resolve. Charlie Kirk is a casualty of the political war going on in this

00:08:01.960 country. He was gunned down in cold blood, gunned down in cold blood. And you have to have steely

00:08:07.000 resolve about this. Charlie Kirk never. What did he do? He would say, if you disagree, come to the

00:08:12.320 front of the line because he wanted to have a conversation. Charlie Kirk never raised a hand in

00:08:15.940 anger. Never once. He said, come out here. He would say change my mind. He was a happy warrior. He's a

00:08:21.060 happy warrior every single time. I never saw him. You had conviction, you know, he had conviction. He was

00:08:26.800 tough as nails, but, but he never once did so. And he never once came off the stage. You go find

00:08:34.140 hundreds of hours of video. He never did it. Never once, no matter how crazy, no matter how nuts,

00:08:39.380 whatever he was being faced with, he would always sit there and he would hold his ground and hold

00:08:43.880 frame and do so with the peace of Christ that was there. He had a gift from God, an absolute gift

00:08:48.940 from God. And for, you know, these, these are the reasons that, that we'll never be able to really get

00:08:55.280 the answers of, but God called him home today. Well, it's, it's, you know, it's your fate and your

00:09:02.260 destiny, right? Charlie Kirk and Charlie Kirk knew what he was getting into and doing this,

00:09:07.500 right? Charlie Kirk was at the tip of the spirit, never flinched, never backed off. Uh, you never

00:09:13.720 heard any whining from Charlie Kirk. I mean, we would have texts, uh, and it was a lot of stuff,

00:09:18.520 you know, we didn't always totally agree on the text message chains with Charlie Kirk all hours of

00:09:22.700 the night, always trying to learn, right? Always trying to move the ball forward, but always doing

00:09:27.160 it with a, uh, uh, in a very up upbeat spirit, right? In a, in a, in a way that was, um, he's a glass

00:09:34.520 half full guy, right? And the organization he built, that's what attracted so many college kids. That's

00:09:39.380 it. And it started with college kids, but it built all over the, the, the events themselves now,

00:09:45.020 his, and two big events, one in the summer and of course the event in over, uh, right before Christmas

00:09:50.200 in Phoenix are the most important events of the calendar for the conservative movement. It's a who's who

00:09:56.460 comes on the stage, including president Trump came on last December. And on that stage for the first

00:10:02.240 time, president Trump told that audience because of what Charlie Kirk brings and the intensity,

00:10:07.320 uh, he brings president Trump told us why he ran for office. It was because he knew the 2020 election

00:10:14.380 was stolen. And he says, I had, I had to, I had to come back and make sure that we, that we didn't

00:10:20.680 let, if we let that go, we weren't going to have a Republic. And that's the, that's the power of what

00:10:24.580 Charlie Kirk built. Charlie Kirk was a warrior to the end. If you see his last, his last moments

00:10:29.920 of, uh, maybe consciousness before he was shot, what did he have? He picked up a mic to answer,

00:10:35.120 to respond. He died fighting. This is a man, this is a man who died fighting. Charlie Kirk died

00:10:40.560 fighting, not for himself. Charlie Kirk died fighting for you. Charlie Kirk died fighting for

00:10:46.160 Jesus. Charlie Kirk died fighting for this country. And he did so knowing, knowing full well that he

00:10:53.820 wasn't just staring down at a microphone or some liberals. He knew about Butler. He knew everything

00:10:58.520 about it. I've talked to him about it a million times. He knew. And, and by the way, it could just

00:11:03.300 know about the security too. Cause he says, Hey, I can't get too much security. Cause it cuts me off

00:11:07.900 from the young people. It cuts me off from the crowd. Charlie was a people person. That's why today

00:11:12.060 when you saw that tent, the people are right there in front of him, right? And they're in the line

00:11:15.720 and they're tossing back and forth. And Charlie's giving as good as he gets. Uh, he was answering,

00:11:20.420 he picked up the microphone to answer, uh, a, a, to respond to something he didn't agree with.

00:11:25.960 Right. That, uh, that the, uh, the individual, if you disagree, you come to the front. Every time I

00:11:32.600 did an event with him, he'd always say, you disagree, you come to the front. We did, we did Penn

00:11:35.660 state last year. We did, by the way, just cause I haven't said it yet to Charlie's mom and dad,

00:11:41.860 his mother and father, that obviously our, our prayers are absolutely with you, the entire Kirk

00:11:50.840 family. And we need to get to the bottom of this right now. Need to get a bottom of it. But he went

00:11:55.880 out as a hero. Would you say, uh, the hero American needs right now? When God, when America needed a

00:12:01.500 hero, God sent us Charlie Kirk as a fighter. When America needed a hero, God sent us Charlie Kirk.

00:12:07.140 He sent us Donald Trump. Some, some say that we're not sure who sent us Steve Bannon, but,

00:12:11.820 but we got, we got a band. I am not, I'm not in that league, but I'll tell you the Trump,

00:12:16.720 they came for him twice. You saw it in Butler when they tried to gun him down in cold blood

00:12:21.540 in, in Butler assassination temp. Another one later and Charlie Kirk. I don't want to hear

00:12:26.180 Charlie Kirk is dead. I don't want to hear that Charlie Kirk died today. Charlie Kirk was assassinated

00:12:31.740 an assassin's bullet to cut him down. Single shot, single shot at 31 years old. Yeah. At

00:12:38.220 200 yards. What we're hearing. So it was not a, uh, it was not a, it was not a rookie, right?

00:12:43.360 It was somebody who knew how to use a weapon. Uh, Charlie Kirk was cut down by an assassin's

00:12:48.740 bullet, right? In the prime of his life. In the prime of his life. Top of his game. Just

00:12:53.480 when he got going, I was, go ahead. I just want to say, I mean, beyond all that, he's

00:12:59.240 our friend. This is, this is one of our friends. And when you come for one of our

00:13:02.720 friends, that's it, that's it. Gloves are off. Gloves are at you. You thought you

00:13:07.740 thought that before was, was bad that we went hard. You, you, you just took away one

00:13:14.340 of our friends. And that's something that requires, requires a response.

00:13:21.380 But people have to expect this. Look at, look, look at Luigi. You get, you get MAGA or you

00:13:28.500 get, or get Mangione. That's my point. And Mangione, the Mangione's are now taking out

00:13:33.800 the MAGA's. And Mangione, and Mangione is considered a hero by those guys. I tell folks

00:13:38.360 all the time, you got Mangione and you got Ma'am Donnie, who's a. It's the Bolsheviks 0.94

00:13:44.200 and the Mensheviks. Exactly. So you see what they're doing. And Luigi and Mangione is treated

00:13:50.140 as a cult hero by these people. So tell me again, tell me again about, oh, Posobiec and

00:13:54.580 Bannon and the rhetoric. Oh, the rhetoric. You're so upset. Oh, cause I use the word

00:13:58.100 on humans. Yeah. What word would you ascribe to an act like this? It's unhuman. Okay. That's

00:14:05.740 what we're living through. You think I want to do this with my time? You think I got kids.

00:14:10.940 You think I want to be here? This is what you have done to our country. Exactly. And what

00:14:16.580 comes next is on U2. And we're not going to back off an inch. Anybody think, if you're

00:14:20.720 going to back off, then this is not for you. Charlie Kirk gave his life for a country. He's

00:14:25.360 on the battlefield of political combat. Okay. And they cut him down with an assassin's bullet.

00:14:30.140 Let's be blunt about this. They cut him down with an assassin's bullet. I guess we're going 1.00

00:14:34.900 to take a break here. We're going to take a short commercial break. We've got John Solomon,

00:14:39.400 a couple of three other people going to join us. Hopefully the great Matt Boyle, Jack Posobiec,

00:14:43.580 one of Charlie's best friends and best partners, is with us. And we're going to take a short

00:14:50.280 break and return in a moment. You're in the war room.

00:14:59.960 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro. The block of emerging

00:15:05.780 superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing 0.95

00:15:12.540 the United States dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio reset. As BRICS 1.00

00:15:19.300 nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing

00:15:24.000 down the value of the dollar in your savings. While this transition won't not happen overnight,

00:15:30.540 but trust me, it's going to start in Rio. The Rio reset in July marks a pivotal moment

00:15:36.360 when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable

00:15:42.660 reality. Learn if diversifying your savings into gold is right for you. Birch Gold Group

00:16:31.180 who are hurting in the way this man was hurting. Hurt people hurt people. What happened was horrible.

00:16:35.600 No one mentioned the word race, white, black, or anything except him.

00:16:41.280 Okay, that was Van Jones. What do you say about this Van Jones situation?

00:16:45.640 Really, Van Jones? Really? And all of them. All the people out there. They want to blame

00:16:50.940 they want to blame Charlie Kirk. They want to blame Charlie Kirk, who never hurt anybody in his

00:16:55.560 life. Charlie Kirk, who always stood up for truth, and he did so with his voice. He didn't do so with

00:17:01.580 his hands. He didn't do so in violence. He didn't do any of this. And what was Charlie talking about?

00:17:09.200 A woman being stabbed to death? Where's your energy for that, Van Jones? What do you think? You think

00:17:16.180 people are worried about when they go on a subway late at night that they're worried about being

00:17:19.980 surrounded by Charlie Kirk's? They're looking over their shoulder for Charlie Kirk. No, I don't think

00:17:23.760 so, Van Jones. I don't think so at all. So now my wife has got to go reach out to Erica because as 1.00

00:17:29.940 close as they are, and now you got to, now we have to deal with this, but no, it's all Charlie Kirk's

00:17:34.420 fault, right? Van Jones. It's all Charlie Kirk's fault. And all the rest of it was MSNBC saying,

00:17:39.040 oh, Charlie Kirk, he, you know, he, he ginned up the rhetoric and he, he did, he did all this.

00:17:44.060 Should have still at large, by the way, as far as we know, there's a manhunt they're saying,

00:17:48.520 and we've been in contact with FBI and all the rest. So, so it's all, it's all, it's all,

00:17:54.560 it's all this, right? Or what did they say? It was a, it was, you know, it was maybe a guy,

00:17:58.160 a MAGA guy who was getting up, cut me a break. We know where the violence is coming from,

00:18:02.860 from Butler to West Palm and now to Salt Lake City, Utah. No, no, this is the Mangiones. This is the 0.88

00:18:11.260 unhumans. This is the sick, pervasive violence that's going on by the blood in the streets and the 0.57

00:18:17.580 blood of Charlie Kirk. Now, just like the blood of Trump a year ago, less than a year ago,

00:18:22.800 Charlie, just over a year ago. Charlie Kirk was not killed today. Charlie Kirk was assassinated

00:18:26.500 in cold blood. And you're going to, and they're going to sit there and say, they're going to sit

00:18:31.400 there and say, oh, well, it's, it's the war room. It's the Charlie Kirk show talking about COVID

00:18:37.040 talking about, no, no. Steal yourself folks. Steal yourself. Now's the time. This is a moment. We need

00:18:43.580 to show strength. Okay. Need to show strength. Matt Boyle talking about the strong Matt Boyle,

00:18:49.660 your thoughts. You've covered Charlie from the very beginning. I happen to sit in, I think one

00:18:54.880 of Charlie Kirk's first pitches when he started turning point with a couple of people very closely

00:19:00.160 associated with Breitbart. And let's say he went up a steep learning curve. That's the kind of guy he

00:19:05.320 was. Your thoughts, Matt? Yeah. Well, by the way, before he even started turning point, he was

00:19:10.580 working for Breitbart, right? Like way back in the day, as far back as when he was in high school,

00:19:15.580 as far back as 2012, back when I was first starting at Breitbart. So I remember, we actually just

00:19:22.760 published this a few minutes ago. There's an email he sent us back when he was a high school student in

00:19:28.600 2012. And when he reached out to Breitbart, like a cold reach out to want to join the cause. So,

00:19:37.140 and he was inspired by Andrew Breitbart. He always talked about that. I've known him very closely.

00:19:42.620 Look, you're 100% right. I was just watching your segment there with Jack. This was a political

00:19:47.640 assassination. This was like an assassination of Martin Luther King or JFK or something like that.

00:19:52.600 This needs to be a wake up call and a clarion call to every American person.

00:19:58.140 Hang on. A clarion call, but particularly for this generation, one of our younger producers,

00:20:02.840 because we have them, they're very young here at the war room. He told me, he says, this assassination

00:20:07.360 will be a formational event for my generation, right? The generation under 30, under 35 years old.

00:20:14.300 This is your moment. Charlie Kirk represented you. Charlie Kirk built a, he came in with a crazy idea.

00:20:21.580 I want to take over student governments. This is when he first came to Breitbart. I want to take over

00:20:26.040 student governments in college and then in high schools, right? And what you have now

00:20:30.420 is a political powerhouse, a grassroots, not just grassroots powerhouse, as far as delivering

00:20:36.260 Matt Boyle, but also thought leaders. Remember, he had the pastors. He would have thinkers. He had so

00:20:42.180 many different aspects of, of turning point. He's, he's built a massive machine through his personality

00:20:48.320 and force of will, right? And for that generation under 35, and remember, Charlie Kirk gave his life

00:20:54.400 for you. Where was he? On a college campus. What was he doing? What Charlie Kirk does every day,

00:21:01.320 debating, right? Using ideas, coming back. And he picked up the microphone, his last act on earth,

00:21:08.540 right? Was picking up a microphone to rebut something that he heard from one of the people,

00:21:14.040 as Jack says, if you don't agree with me, come to the front of the line. That's the kind of people

00:21:17.620 he took, Matt Boyle. Yeah, this is a really emotional moment for a lot of those young people,

00:21:22.880 including myself, right? I'm a little older than Charlie. But the, but the fact is that, you know,

00:21:28.780 I think everybody's going to look back on this moment and remember where you were, right? Like,

00:21:32.760 remember where you were when JFK was killed? You're going to remember where you were when,

00:21:37.100 when Charlie Kirk was assassinated. And the, the fact is that I think that his mission is now all

00:21:43.740 of our mission, right? We can't let him die in vain. We have to carry on his mission. And then the other

00:21:49.780 thing is, is that the radical left, frankly, there is no differentiation anymore between the radical

00:21:55.940 left and the Democrat party. The Democrat party is rotten from top to bottom. They've been corrupted

00:22:01.980 by the, by the radical left. They've been taken over. They've been subsumed. Maybe one day we'll get

00:22:07.340 to a place where we have two parties again that are reasonable, but we don't have a reasonable

00:22:11.700 Democrat party anymore. Democrats are not reasonable, right? Like the, the fact is, is that they have

00:22:18.220 created this culture, uh, that you heard the establishment media people out there like Van

00:22:22.540 Jones and like the MSNBC crowd. Uh, I don't know if you saw this, but in the immediate aftermath of

00:22:28.620 it, you saw people on MSNBC suggesting, Oh, it might've just been Charlie Kirk supporters just

00:22:34.340 shooting their guns off. Uh, and you know, no, that was Matt Dowd. That was Matt Dowd. And Matt,

00:22:39.380 Matt Dowd is remember folks embrace this, embrace this folks. Matt Dowd is not a leftist. Matt Dowd,

00:22:46.740 let's get that up. Matt Dowd was a Bush Republican. Okay. And today what he said today, what he said

00:22:53.240 on MSNBC is unforgivable of what he said when Charlie Kirk's life held and was hanging in the

00:23:00.660 balance when they were working, when they medevaced him out, they, they helicoptered him out and the

00:23:05.820 doctors and nurses are sitting there trying to save his life. This is what Matt Dowd, this is the kind

00:23:10.420 of thing Matt Dowd said, right? So it's, it's, it's unforgivable, but you're exactly correct.

00:23:15.980 This was a political assassination and it's a political assassination trying to target the

00:23:21.660 young people in this country because they understand that the power of MAGA, the power

00:23:26.220 of our movement is not a bunch of boomers. The power of our movement is coming from the young

00:23:32.020 and that's where the energy is. And they understand this changes American politics and saves our country.

00:23:36.600 This is what Trump came back for. This is where he returned for. He returned to save the country and

00:23:41.460 make it great again. Go ahead, sir. Yeah. And I think that this is not good. They're not going

00:23:46.800 to succeed, right? Like I think that what's going to happen is, cause I'm telling you, I'm getting

00:23:51.020 the messages right now from people across this movement. They're not going to see, hold it,

00:23:56.380 hold it, hold it. The future is undetermined, Matt. Today at 11 59 AM Eastern daylight time,

00:24:03.360 I tossed it to Charlie Kirk to do the show like every day, two hours of populist nationalism coming

00:24:08.880 in hot with Charlie Kirk. The future is unformed. We have to form it. It's not, we will win. If we

00:24:16.860 don't flinch, we will win. If we don't sit there and start sucking our thumbs and get in the fetal 0.63

00:24:21.760 position. Okay. Charlie Kirk was assassinated today. Go ahead. Go ahead, brother. 0.98

00:24:27.360 Yeah. Where I'm going with that point, Steve, is that I think that the emotional, the raw emotion

00:24:32.600 of this, right? Like, I mean, look, I'll be honest with you. I'm not really an emotional guy,

00:24:37.000 but I, this has hit me pretty hard. I knew Charlie very well. It's hit me very hard in the last,

00:24:42.320 you know, a couple hours here since I've been processing the news, I've been trying to get the

00:24:45.880 details of what happened, but I mean, this is just terrible. And I, I'll tell you, this gives me more

00:24:52.200 fight. It gives everyone else across the right, everyone I'm talking to is newly inspired by

00:24:59.760 Charlie's mission, right? Like, and I think that we have to not let him die in vain. We carry his

00:25:05.340 mission on everything he stood for. He stood for what Breitbart believes in, what the Warren Posse

00:25:10.700 believes in. I mean, this is a guy who, who, who built his entire career. I mean, he's 31 years old.

00:25:16.960 He's younger than, you know, any of us, but like, I mean, I like, again, his entire life and career

00:25:23.380 was built in this movement. That's a miracle first mega movement. Uh, you know, I, I, I'm going,

00:25:28.900 I've been going back through in the last hour or so here, some old interviews I did with him

00:25:33.420 where he's talking about things like immigration and he's talking about things like standing up to

00:25:37.840 China and on trade and, and, and building out a political movement and, and, uh, you know,

00:25:43.180 voter fraud and all this kind of stuff. I, I think that it's, it's even bigger than just

00:25:48.000 young people, right? Like, I mean, Charlie Kirk, uh, and, and everything that he stands for

00:25:52.560 is going to, uh, I don't think that the, the, the mission of the, whoever conducted this

00:26:00.820 assassination, and we don't have all those details yet, but, uh, clearly they were trying

00:26:04.760 to silence him while he's debating, right? Like, uh, I don't think they'll succeed. I think

00:26:08.980 his message is going to become, uh, you know, uh, even more profound now after this, because

00:26:16.420 again, this feels a lot like a JFK or an MLK type moment, right? Like, uh, in our country.

00:26:23.440 And we're all going to remember where we were the day Charlie Kirk was assassinated and when we heard

00:26:28.320 the news and how we heard the news. Uh, Matt Boyle, uh, where do people go on social media to get

00:26:35.080 you? I know you guys are putting up stuff with Charlie, uh, a great reminder that Charlie first

00:26:39.440 came to Breitbart when he had the idea, um, and people associated with Breitbart getting back of

00:26:43.960 him, uh, and, and, and, and put the seeds in that came up with the turning point. That was one of the

00:26:51.540 critical and not the critical element to winning the 2024 election. Where do people go, Matt, today to

00:26:58.240 get to your social media and to get all the great news over at Breitbart? Well, first off,

00:27:02.120 Breitbart.com, our team is working around the clock. And then also my ex Twitter account is

00:27:06.620 at mboyle1 and my true social is at real Matt Boyle. But yeah, uh, our team is working very hard

00:27:12.200 and we're trying to get all the details and the facts and then we're going to see where this goes,

00:27:15.720 but I'm telling you the emotion here is raw. And I think that, uh, the, that a match has been lit

00:27:21.100 in America. And I think that the, the, the American right, especially young people are not going to

00:27:26.460 take this. Not going to take it. Um, the last day I talked to Charlie on the Sunday before I went to

00:27:32.860 prison on, on Monday, on July 1st. And Charlie said, how are you going to do it? Cause we lead

00:27:36.960 into the show. How are you going to do the show? You know, who's going to be the, who's going to be

00:27:40.200 the host. I said, Charlie, next man up, right? Is that not the message for Charlie's generation?

00:27:48.340 Next man or woman up Matt Boyle. Thank you so much. Appreciate you coming on.

00:27:52.820 Jack Posobiec's riding shotgun with me in, uh, in this hour. Uh, want to thank real America's 0.77

00:28:00.800 voice, everybody for their coverage today, real America's voice, uh, because of the closeness,

00:28:05.140 obviously with Charlie Kirk broke, uh, the news, I think was on the Eric bowling show,

00:28:09.360 John Solomon, et cetera. We're trying to get John Solomon up. We need to get the, uh, we need to find

00:28:14.460 the assassin. We need to get to the bottom of this. We also have to make sure that, uh, the best way

00:28:20.540 to remember Charlie Kirk is to carry on his work at the level. Charlie Kirk would short break.

00:29:38.860 Charlie Kirk on one level is totally irreplaceable. Is it not Jack Pasovic?

00:29:47.180 Look, Charlie Kirk is one-on-one and Charlie Kirk, there's never going to be another Charlie Kirk.

00:29:57.680 But you know what else is going to happen? There is never going to be another assassin to take out

00:30:05.060 someone like the way they did because of what comes next. And because what comes next will be

00:30:11.700 swift, will be quick, and it will be retribution. And that's it.

00:30:19.160 Next man up as far as everybody, you know, Charlie's organization, all of it right now,

00:30:24.060 particularly this younger generation that Charlie was one of the top one or two leaders of,

00:30:29.340 they're going to test your mettle and they're going to test it right now. John Solomon joins us.

00:30:34.180 John, you working your contacts with the FBI, et cetera, were incredibly helpful to finding out

00:30:39.460 early exactly what was going on. Give us your assessment and what do we know about the shooter?

00:30:44.960 Yeah, we don't know much because he's not in custody as of yet. It looks like a professional

00:30:49.760 hit job from quite a ways away. Long shot, probably high-powered rifle, able to pierce the arteries

00:30:57.380 in the neck. So someone who's professional, it appears. That's what the FBI's early assessment is.

00:31:02.920 We're a long way from knowing a lot. It's a moment of wrecking in our country.

00:31:07.620 Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. You're using a term. You've used it twice now. You're saying this,

00:31:13.280 I mean, it was a long distance and the shot hit one of the most, you know, susceptible places

00:31:20.840 as a kill shot. You're saying you use the word professional. What do you mean by that?

00:31:25.780 Someone who knew how to handle a gun. It wasn't someone that just got a spur-of-the-moment idea

00:31:29.840 and was going to go shoot Charlie. It looks like it's from a longer distance, maybe from a building

00:31:34.080 or window away. We're still learning stuff and in the fog of war, it takes some time. So we're

00:31:38.620 going to have to sort this out. But the early assessment of law enforcement officials I talked

00:31:42.340 to is that this looked like somebody who knew how to kill and knew how to handle a gun and knew how

00:31:47.880 to set up in a way that they could assassinate someone and then possibly get away, which is what

00:31:52.780 they initially have done. They don't have anyone in custody yet. So a lot to be learned.

00:31:58.280 A lot to be learned. We're going to learn, and this story will turn.

00:32:02.780 John, in your discussions with law enforcement, we've seen some reports out there regarding range.

00:32:09.060 Now, obviously, it's still early on on that, but have you been able to confirm any of the

00:32:14.520 current assessments on how far they think the shooter was?

00:32:18.500 They don't believe the shooter was in the crowd. The angle of shot suggests that it was probably an

00:32:24.240 elevated location, which would have to be a little bit further off, much like what we saw with

00:32:27.980 President Trump's attempted assassination in Butler, where someone gets on a roof or in a

00:32:32.700 window. But they really don't. I don't. As of 40 minutes ago, they had not located the shooting

00:32:38.320 scene yet. So perhaps this person cleaning their brass up or they don't have the right location

00:32:42.860 yet. But it seems to be an elevated shot from a distance. How far distance are to say it

00:32:48.000 because they don't have the shooting location. They don't have the origination of the crime scene.

00:32:52.900 The fact that the fact that it was at a distance, it appears that was close to being perfectly

00:33:01.820 placed and that they have not found him. So this is someone who had thought through how

00:33:08.260 to exit. It leads you to believe it's just not some random at the last minute emotional, like some of

00:33:17.400 these school shootings we've seen or some of these other shootings we're seeing, that it is something

00:33:21.880 that it looks like somebody that really knew their way around weapons and the way around getting a shot

00:33:27.580 off and getting away. John Solomon?

00:33:30.600 I think that's the early assessment. Early assessments change. But there is some belief that this was

00:33:35.600 intentional and thought out perhaps a little bit. Now on a college campus in the chaos, it's easy to

00:33:41.280 escape even if you're not a professional. So let's wait and see what they come up with. But

00:33:44.880 some of the early assessments of the shot, the way where it landed, where it came from,

00:33:49.480 suggests that there's some intentionality and maybe some marksman expertise in this. Let's wait

00:33:55.240 and see what it looks like. And I was with Charlie just two weeks ago in Colorado and

00:34:00.120 he talked about, you know, he gets all threats all the time and it doesn't deter him. He didn't

00:34:04.540 take these threats seriously. He said something profound to me. And that is, I said to him,

00:34:09.540 you know, I look at these Gen Z numbers and you've had a generational change on America. And he said

00:34:14.140 to me, oh, you're being so dramatic, John. Listen, it's not that simple, not that complex. What I did is

00:34:19.540 we talk about like all people needed, all young people needed was a little moral support. It's people

00:34:24.460 willing to stand shoulder to shoulder to them and say, it's okay to be conservative, to believe in freedom,

00:34:28.580 believe in the goodness of America, believe in life, believe in God, and not be bullied by teachers

00:34:33.540 or friends. And he, in such extraordinary fashion, he could summarize how simple and yet how

00:34:40.600 extraordinary the mission he set out to. And I went to one of his first conferences. He invited me

00:34:45.200 down when he was like 20. I think it was in Florida, in Palm Beach. It was like 200 kids in the audience.

00:34:50.820 And now you look and every year Charlie's organization is reaching tens of thousands of people.

00:34:55.660 And he never saw it as anything more than a simple job of just giving people moral support. I found

00:35:01.520 that remarkably refreshing when I talked to him two weeks ago. John, you're gonna follow us at six

00:35:07.540 o'clock. What is your social media? Because you break a lot of news up there, sir. Yes, sir.

00:35:12.080 Jay Solomon reports on all platforms. And of course, justinnews.com is the news website.

00:35:15.960 Thank you. Appreciate you, John Solomon.

00:35:20.960 Posobik, you probably spent more time on the road with Charlie, more time working on things. The two

00:35:26.580 shows backed up, but you guys were in constant communication, plotting, strategizing, executing.

00:35:32.540 Your thoughts on, tell us, tell us who Charlie Kirk was.

00:35:35.520 Charlie was always thinking. Charlie was always, he was a, he was more of a chess player than people

00:35:43.000 realize because he could see angles and he could think three moves ahead, four moves ahead, five moves

00:35:51.680 ahead. He knew how to take that bank shot. Boom, boom, boom, triple rail bank shot. And he was going to

00:35:57.820 make it. If something was in his way, he was either going to take it down or he was going to get around

00:36:02.520 it because he would see these things coming. And there's so, just so many stories behind the scenes

00:36:11.040 that people don't even know people, things that Charlie has never talked about publicly once,

00:36:17.680 things that he's been involved in conversations, decisions, plans that beyond turning point,

00:36:24.680 right? The lot, the amount of lives that he touched, even beyond politics, the amount of stuff that he did

00:36:28.820 just, just as a good person for people is unlistable. It's innumerable. And the fact that

00:36:36.460 they would take something, someone like that away, the fact that they would take someone like that

00:36:42.260 away from this world. What do you mean from that? There's there, from their perspective, Charlie

00:36:46.240 Kirk was one of the top two or three people in the entire MAGA movement, right? These people are

00:36:50.700 vicious. They're playing for keeps. Of course, Charlie Kirk, that's, that's why when you gave him the

00:36:55.140 warning that Charlie was a target is because how many go back to American history, how many individuals

00:37:02.780 in their twenties, because the formation of this generation started, you know, years ago with Charlie

00:37:09.620 Kirk, how many people have had, have done to a generation when they're in that generation,

00:37:16.940 as far as leadership go? I can't, not, no one really comes to mind right now except for Charlie Kirk.

00:37:21.820 Well, I would, I would just say, you know, when you think of, you know, coming from Philadelphia,

00:37:26.420 that you look at the age of a lot of the founders and the founding generation. Exactly. Exactly. And

00:37:32.180 you see guys in their twenties and thirties and it was young men. That was a Charlie Kirk who stepped

00:37:37.540 up the age of Jefferson when he writes the declaration, when he went, and we're coming up on the 250th in

00:37:42.420 just a couple of months here. And you look at that age and there's something about that age where you're,

00:37:47.960 where you're, where you're, you're just hitting your stride. You're in your prime. You're on the top

00:37:52.120 of the world. You've got all, you've got your health. He was so healthy, Steve. He, the Charlie

00:37:57.860 Kirk was a biohacking, loved Maha health, not cold plunge every day kind of guy. I mean, half the time,

00:38:05.660 you know, he didn't drink caffeine that, that Starbucks cup. That was, that's tea. That's not

00:38:09.780 coffee. Didn't drink caffeine. He's been off a cat. He was off a caffeine for a year, I think. And

00:38:14.740 just, you know, he, he really focused on what goes into his body and really focused on, on health and

00:38:22.800 nutrition and was, was always talking about that funny behind the scenes. You know, we would talk

00:38:27.740 about that just as much as we would talk about politics or, you know, you know, argue theology

00:38:32.780 and, you know, debate back and forth, all of these various things. And I mean, they took my friend away.

00:38:39.520 You, you, you took my friend away. What is it? And, and I, let me just go ahead. I was at the

00:38:45.880 museum of the Bible earlier this week with president Trump and president Trump and he got there and he

00:38:50.060 said, America needs to pray again. And America has to have the prayer initiative. But he also talked

00:38:54.620 about this horrific situation with the, the, the young Ukrainian girl down in Charlotte. And he said,

00:39:03.280 he said, he said something, he said, sometimes you have to do horrible things to stop horrible

00:39:09.080 things. And we are now living through the era of horrible things. The September of 2025 changed

00:39:17.600 things. What's happened in this month alone? Does it send, send things in a different direction?

00:39:23.520 Last night I tweeted out that the Overton window has been stabbed to death.

00:39:32.160 The Overton window just got assassinated. The Overton window is gone. It is completely gone. There

00:39:37.400 is a gaping hole with blood gushing out of it. Now where the Overton window used to be.

00:39:44.200 I'm done. I'm, I'm done playing these games. I'm done playing games. No more games.

00:39:48.000 The, um, 60 people would argue and people do argue that the end of American greatness came

00:39:57.520 with the assassination of president Kennedy. And then you had the sixties with Martin Luther

00:40:01.380 King. You had, uh, Bobby Kennedy, Malcolm X. They then eventually father, they got to,

00:40:07.680 uh, they got to, uh, George Wallace. They had, we had a string of political assassins in Maryland,

00:40:12.060 right? In Maryland. They, they, he did not die. He was felled by an assassin's bullet. Didn't

00:40:16.360 die. A couple of times it came after Jerry Ford at close range. Yeah. You had Reagan down here at

00:40:21.180 the Hilton. President Reagan got shot at close range and came so close to death. Um, is this

00:40:27.500 an inflection point for the country when somebody is prominent as Charlie Kirk, particularly in this

00:40:33.340 movement and one of the driving forces in this movement, as far as not just an activist, but

00:40:38.480 intellectual, a leader, uh, in somebody that's done something to a generation that you have not

00:40:43.460 really seen in American history really changed the politics of a generation, right? When president,

00:40:49.240 we talk about president Trump passing the baton back, not just to who will follow him, but to

00:40:54.140 generations, two or three generations, four generations in back of him, you get the Charlie

00:40:59.640 Kirk's. Is this an inflection point, not just in our movement, but in the country's history?

00:41:04.900 And the country's history will never be the same. Now the country, we were on one path. Now we're on

00:41:09.960 another. The legacy of Charlie Kirk now will forever, forever be tied together with this

00:41:23.480 violence. We'll be tied together with the violence and the carnage of this period. And there is no way

00:41:29.420 that you can talk about this period ever without having to talk about the violent, radical Marxist

00:41:37.000 left that has been conducting killings in the street, killings on college campuses, attempted

00:41:42.840 killings in fields in Butler. There's no way that you can put this back now. And the response you see,

00:41:49.880 Steve, it is a law of the universe for every action. There is an equal and opposite reaction. And no,

00:41:58.880 I don't mean picking up arms, but what I mean is justice. I mean, do justice must be done and will be

00:42:06.720 done. We've been talking about left wing killers. We've been talking about these political assassins

00:42:11.800 for years and know what Chris Ray and all these people. And you want to talk about the trans

00:42:16.980 shooters shooting up a bunch of kids down at a Catholic school. It's done. It's absolutely done. 0.98

00:42:22.880 There's no more games.

00:42:23.720 That was the, that was the question that Charlie Kirk perked the microphone up. They're right in the

00:42:27.460 middle of the, I think they were questioning the numbers of this transgender shooters. And Charlie

00:42:31.760 Kirk was engaged in, in, in the debate on that. Okay. We're taking a short commercial break. Jack

00:42:36.120 the soapy, so it's the right and shotgun. John Solomon's going to follow. Uh, we'll have probably

00:42:40.940 later tonight or tomorrow morning, some, uh, notifications of what we're going to be doing

00:42:45.380 over the next couple of days. Obviously, Charlie Kirk is, uh, is top of mind, top of mind for the

00:42:51.200 country, top of mind for the movement. President Trump has just ordered the flags to have staff.

00:42:54.920 I don't know if, I think we may have, uh, some footage on that. Charlie Kirk, Charlie Kirk, a great

00:43:00.560 man, a great man who would never sit there and go, I'm a great man. Charlie Kirk was all about

00:43:06.220 getting it done. That's what always impressed me about this guy. Everything he accomplished,

00:43:10.260 everybody's trying to get to him. Everybody's trying to praise him and hold him up. Charlie Kirk

00:43:14.100 was just at the end of the day, just a grinder, got it done. Right. And what he got done was

00:43:18.740 absolutely magnificent. He's one of the key reasons we've been able to save this country today.

00:43:24.900 If it was not for Charlie Kirk and the great team that he built at Turning Point USA, we would not

00:43:30.200 be where we are today. Short commercial break.

00:45:05.000 almost Charlie's partner in the podcast. You follow him here in Real America's Voice. You would

00:45:09.080 you would sync your schedules. You guys travel around the country. You were live in the irony

00:45:14.120 of this. You were live on the show this afternoon when we got the announcement that Charlie had been

00:45:18.520 shot. What went through your mind? You know, look, it's it's being in the military, being intelligence,

00:45:27.740 having served at Guantanamo. It's it's just something where you you take the emotions. And I always say

00:45:33.520 you just kind of put your emotions on the shelf and you just you focus on what happened. All right,

00:45:37.620 how bad the same same same as when I got the news about Trump. It's how bad, you know, and then who

00:45:43.240 do we have booked? Get him off, you know, get him off. I just get me off air. Give me on the phone.

00:45:48.800 Give me information. What happened? What's the latest? What's the situation? And then as it came out

00:45:55.140 more and more and more, it's you just have to think you guys think, all right, has anyone informed

00:46:00.580 Erica, you know, is she given the green light to put this information out, et cetera, et cetera,

00:46:05.380 because this is obviously the most sensitive thing that you could talk about in a situation like this,

00:46:12.160 you know, but then you're just inundated. My phone, I'm sure yours, too, just won't stop

00:46:16.760 ringing. And I'm barely responding to anyone outside of just the family. And Tanya, of course,

00:46:22.980 calling and she's close with Erica. So she's, she's powering through. And, you know, you have

00:46:31.600 to think and it's weirdly enough, part of me is just thinking, you know, hey, we have the show

00:46:36.700 Thursday. What, you know, I'm trying to think of my schedule Thursday. I'm like, oh, yeah, what time

00:46:40.440 is Charlie free? What time are we going to tape the show? And this is your special podcast. We do the

00:46:45.060 thought crime show. Yeah. And it and it and it just and you've got to sync the schedules like we've been

00:46:49.960 doing it doing it for, you know, a couple of years now. And and and it just hasn't kicked hasn't set

00:46:55.140 in yet that, you know, we we're not going to do that show or any more shows. Yeah, that won't kick

00:47:00.440 in for you. Also, the the coverage he would do, the amazing coverage of all the elections of the

00:47:04.900 Carrie Lake situation out in Arizona. Election night. The stolen election. It's so many being with

00:47:09.680 them on election. So many memories. And this guy, I'm telling you, for someone that had risen so fast,

00:47:15.980 a lot of times it goes to people's heads. Right. And they they become too

00:47:19.620 precious. They can't do it. Charlie Kirk today. He was assassinated doing what he's been doing for

00:47:27.120 years and years and years. Other people could do that. But Charlie Kirk was doing it at Utah Valley

00:47:33.400 University in front of looks like three to five thousand kids in the high noon and the lunch break

00:47:37.840 and sitting right there. And what would you say, Jack, if you disagree with me, come to the front,

00:47:42.940 come to the front, come to the front. Look, Charlie, he wanted that back and forth, but not out of anger,

00:47:48.580 not out of a place of he wanted to humiliate them or embarrass them or something like that,

00:47:55.000 because he wanted to actually try to communicate with them. And that's what he would do is he would

00:48:00.220 find a way to find out something personal about that person. And I've watched his technique for

00:48:06.140 years and he would try to find a way to come out outside of politics, get to the core of what made

00:48:13.340 that person tick and then start to have a conversation there outside of the combativeness.

00:48:18.980 Tej Gill, you join us. You did, what, 16 tours. You've had a lot of very close friends

00:48:24.540 killed in combat. Today we had a political assassination. Charlie Kirk, 31 years old,

00:48:30.440 one of the great leaders in the United States of America and one of the leaders of his generation,

00:48:35.020 cut down in cold blood by an assassin's bullet. Your thoughts, sir?

00:48:38.200 Yeah. First, I just want to say my condolences to Charlie Kirk's family and to America. This is a

00:48:46.980 huge tragedy. It's crazy to think that these things are happening regularly now. Look,

00:48:55.040 they tried to kill Trump twice last summer. There's murders on the subways. It's crazy what's going on

00:49:03.140 in America. This left-wing ideology is becoming more and more radicalized as the years and the

00:49:11.720 months go by. You shouldn't have to have armed security everywhere you go. You shouldn't have

00:49:20.920 to look over your shoulder everywhere you go. This is absolutely sickening that somebody killed Charlie

00:49:26.460 Kirk at a college. It's absolutely sickening, Steve. It's horrible. It's terrible. And the irony

00:49:34.480 of this is this left-wing ideology is born from the college professors. That's who's radicalizing our

00:49:43.480 children. The young men and young women, when they go to college, they get radicalized by these

00:49:48.300 college professors. And it's getting to the point where it's almost as dangerous as radical Islam. 0.93

00:49:53.920 It's the whole propaganda all the way through, and their ideas don't work. And so when their

00:50:00.440 ideas don't work, they strike out like children. They're getting more and more radical and more

00:50:05.780 and more popular. Because they've lost power. They've lost control of the narrative. They've

00:50:10.480 lost soft power. They've lost political power. This is all they have left. So that is why they

00:50:15.480 are turning to the Mangione tactics. That's why they're turning violent, because it's all they

00:50:20.560 have left. And who was it that said it? The most radical communist of them all, Chairman Mao.

00:50:27.020 Political power grows through the barrel of a gun.

00:50:29.240 Yes. And they realize that.

00:50:32.200 And they're killing our children, Steve. These transvestite shooters are going in 1.00

00:50:36.900 to this Catholic school last month and whatever school. But it's absolutely sickening. They're 1.00

00:50:45.400 attacking our children through their transvestites. You know, they're killing political figures that 1.00

00:50:51.380 they don't agree with. They're desperate to hang on to power any way possible. And even if it means

00:50:59.520 killing people in the United States of America, the land of the free, the home of the brave,

00:51:04.620 the free speech country, they want to silence conservatives. They want to silence white people. 0.99

00:51:11.220 It's it's absolutely sickening what is going on. And this should not happen in America. This is 0.97

00:51:16.980 this is the safe haven of the world. We are the leader of the free world. We're the leader of

00:51:23.060 Christianity and people are being murdered every day. It's horrible.

00:51:28.440 Tej, we've got to bounce. Thank you so much. Jack Posobiec, closing thoughts on one of the great ones.

00:51:32.940 Charlie Kirk, assassinated today on the what, 10th of September in the year of our Lord, 2025 at just

00:51:39.000 after high noon mountain time in right outside Salt Lake City, Utah.

00:51:43.740 Look, just like when you went away, Steve, even though that was a brief time, what you said,

00:51:50.480 I'm going to say it again. It's next man up. Turning Point USA will never die. The movement that

00:51:57.080 Charlie started will never die. And Charlie Kirk will be forever remembered now and at all for all times.

00:52:07.180 Jack Posobiec and I got a shove off. We're going to turn it over to John Solomon.

00:52:12.640 John Solomon is going to take it from here in Real America's Voice, the home of the Charlie Kirk

00:52:17.400 show. We won't be tossing it to Charlie Kirk tomorrow. People got to embrace that.

00:52:22.420 Steve, you know what Charlie would say to us when he's looking down? He'd say, hey, guys, get to work.

00:52:25.920 Yeah, figure it out. Figure it out. Figure it out. You have to embrace that. The future is not

00:52:33.080 guaranteed to anyone. Remember that. Remember that in the fight we have. And I will tell the left and

00:52:39.520 those people cheering this on and that crowd over MSNBC, Matthew Dowd and that crowd, we have not yet

00:52:45.480 begun to fight. Turn it over now to John Solomon at Real America's Voice, just the news.

00:52:50.580 What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month?

00:53:02.820 Steve Bannon here. War Room listeners know Jim Rickards. I love this guy. He's our wise man, a former CIA,
