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
00:02:25.760
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.
00:02:59.140
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
00:04:45.320
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
00:05:11.280
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
00:06:40.440
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
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
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
00:15:12.540
the United States dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio reset. As BRICS
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
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
00:18:11.260
unhumans. This is the sick, pervasive violence that's going on by the blood in the streets and the
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
00:24:21.760
position. Okay. Charlie Kirk was assassinated today. Go ahead. Go ahead, brother.
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
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.
00:28:27.120

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
00:33:30.600
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.
00:35:20.960
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.
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

00:43:35.720

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.
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.
00:50:32.200
And they're killing our children, Steve. These transvestite shooters are going in
00:50:36.900
to this Catholic school last month and whatever school. But it's absolutely sickening. They're
00:50:45.400
attacking our children through their transvestites. You know, they're killing political figures that
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.
00:51:11.220
It's it's absolutely sickening what is going on. And this should not happen in America. This is
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
