Bannon's War Room - Episode 4770： Charlie Kirk： The America First Martyr

00:00:00.000 will be brought to justice. In 2001, the world echoed, never forget, in my opinion,

00:00:08.000 the victims will have died in vain if those responsible are not held accountable.

00:00:13.880 As

00:00:43.880 always, may God bless our first responders, first September 11th victims,

00:01:13.880 our military here and abroad. May God bless us, freedom of speech, and may God bless America.

00:01:22.000 And my brother, Kevin L. Bowser, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We will never forget him and all of our loved ones we lost that day.

00:01:31.420 This is history that brings us all together. History is the heart and soul of our lives.

00:01:37.160 We must protect it and never forget it. God bless America.

00:01:43.880 Thank you.

00:01:44.880 Thank you.

00:02:37.880 Okay.

00:02:38.880 Peter Victor Ganko Jr.

00:02:44.880 Okay.

00:02:45.880 At 9.59 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, of course, the first tower came down 24 years ago today.

00:03:05.880 It is Thursday, 11 September, the year of our Lord, 2025.

00:03:10.880 There's obviously a lot going on today at the Pentagon.

00:03:13.880 President Trump just had very moving remarks about 9-11, about the Pentagon hit, but also added Charlie Kirk.

00:03:22.880 We're live from Utah today.

00:03:24.880 Andrew Colvette is going to join us.

00:03:26.880 We can go ahead and get Andrew Andrews here with us.

00:03:28.880 We'll get him set up.

00:03:29.880 Let's cut to, let's play President Trump at the Pentagon.

00:03:32.880 Let's go live to President Trump.

00:03:37.880 Just hang on.

00:03:39.880 He wheeled the lieutenant out of the wreckage on the back of a maintenance cart before getting in the ambulance and taking him to Walter Reed Hospital.

00:03:49.880 That man, Steve, saved Lieutenant Kevin Schaefer, went on to join the elite team of CIA operatives who located Osama bin Laden.

00:04:00.880 Steve, you're an American hero.

00:04:03.880 We appreciate it.

00:04:04.880 We appreciate what you've gone through.

00:04:07.880 Please stand.

00:04:09.880 Please stand.

00:04:14.880 Where are you?

00:04:19.880 Oh, good looking man.

00:04:21.880 You're a good looking guy.

00:04:23.880 You remember that day.

00:04:24.880 You remember that day.

00:04:26.880 Good.

00:04:27.880 Thank you very much, Steve.

00:04:30.880 That was something.

00:04:35.880 That was something.

00:04:36.880 In the years that followed, America's warriors avenged are fallen and sent an unmistakable message to every enemy around the world.

00:04:47.880 If you attack the United States of America, we will hunt you down and we will find you go all over this sometimes magnificent Earth.

00:04:58.880 We will crush you without mercy and we will triumph without question.

00:05:03.880 That's why we named the former Department of Defense, the Department of War.

00:05:12.880 It will be different.

00:05:15.880 We won the First World War.

00:05:17.880 We won the Second World War.

00:05:19.880 We won everything before that and in between.

00:05:23.880 And then we decided to change the name.

00:05:27.880 Well, now we have it back to where we all want it.

00:05:30.880 Everybody wanted it.

00:05:31.880 Everybody is so happy to have it back.

00:05:34.880 You will fail and America will win, win, win.

00:05:41.880 The enemy will always fail.

00:05:43.880 Twenty four years have passed since that Tuesday morning in September.

00:05:48.880 And an entire generation of Americans have come of age in a totally different world.

00:05:54.880 While they cannot remember the agony of that day, they are carrying on the legacy of those who lost.

00:06:01.880 Around eight thirty a.m. on the morning of the attacks, Army Lieutenant Colonel Kip Taylor sent an email to his friends and family describing the joys of fatherhood and his excitement for the upcoming birth of his unborn son.

00:06:15.880 He wrote after you have kids, there are days that you just get going and you say, hi, honey, I'm home.

00:06:24.880 What we do until that moment pales in comparison.

00:06:28.880 But just that little statement.

00:06:30.880 Hi, honey.

00:06:31.880 So American, so beautiful.

00:06:34.880 But that's really the point of it all, isn't it?

00:06:38.880 An hour after he sent that email, Flight 77 flew into Colonel Taylor's Pentagon office and claimed the life of a very proud father and true patriot.

00:06:49.880 Six weeks later, on October 25th, 2001, Colonel Taylor's son, Luke, was born.

00:06:56.880 Luke then tragically lost his mom to cancer when he was just two years old, leaving him to be raised by his father's brother.

00:07:05.880 As a young boy, Luke asked his uncle about the folded flag on the bookshelf.

00:07:12.880 And when he learned about his dad's decades of devotion to the army and the horrors of September 11th, that's when he learned.

00:07:21.880 Luke carried that memory with him and joined the ROTC as a college freshman.

00:07:26.880 He graduated just last year, and I'm pleased to say he is with us today as a second lieutenant and doing very well.

00:07:33.880 He's rising quickly in the infantry, preparing for Army Ranger School.

00:07:40.880 The spinning image of his dad, they say.

00:07:42.880 Luke says that every time he puts on a uniform, he feels connected to his father and to our country.

00:07:50.880 But it was a father he never knew.

00:07:52.880 Luke, your parents are together in heaven, and they could not be prouder of the man that they have produced.

00:08:00.880 They produced.

00:08:01.880 They produced you.

00:08:02.880 Those two great people produced you.

00:08:04.880 Luke, please stand.

00:08:14.880 Thank you.

00:08:15.880 You look good, Luke.

00:08:17.880 You look good.

00:08:18.880 They're looking down on you.

00:08:19.880 They're very proud.

00:08:21.880 This morning, we recall the light of America's best and bravest and the love that they showed in their final moments.

00:08:28.880 In their memory, we make a solemn pledge and a noble promise.

00:08:33.880 We will honor always our great heroes, and you are our heroes.

00:08:39.880 There's a group of people that don't want to talk about our heroes, but we will always talk about our heroes.

00:08:46.880 And that's the way our country is, and that's the way the people feel.

00:08:50.880 We will defend the nation they served, the values they upheld, and the freedom for which they died.

00:08:57.880 We will support our troops, we will protect our families, and we will preserve the American way of life for every future generation.

00:09:06.880 We will build taller, grow stronger, fight harder, and soar higher.

00:09:11.880 And together, we will go forward as one people with one heart, one faith, one flag, and one glorious destiny under almighty God.

00:09:21.880 May God bless the memories of those who died and the heroes who fought and the soldiers who still stand watch.

00:09:29.880 May God bless the United States of America. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.

00:09:48.880 Ladies and gentlemen, please remain standing for the singing of God bless America, and remain standing for the benediction.

00:09:57.880 Please remain standing for the valet

00:10:18.660 person.

00:10:21.660 To the light with the light from above

00:10:26.560 From the mountains, to the prairies

00:10:30.480 To the oceans, I perform

00:10:34.540 God bless America

00:10:38.420 My home, sweet home, sweet home

00:10:43.900 God bless America

00:10:46.980 My home, sweet home

00:10:53.520 God bless America

00:10:57.860 God bless America

00:11:01.800 Let us pray.

00:11:16.980 Almighty and merciful God

00:11:18.740 Gratefully, we acknowledge your presence with us this morning

00:11:23.080 And implore your presence day by day

00:11:26.760 Grant peace for those who grieve

00:11:29.620 Wisdom for those who lead

00:11:32.220 And courage for those standing the watch for our nation

00:11:36.320 We implore your blessing

00:11:38.580 Not asking you to conform to our will

00:11:42.300 But that you would align us with yours

00:11:46.960 Now may the Lord bless us and keep us

00:11:50.960 May the Lord make his face shine upon us

00:11:53.720 And be gracious unto us

00:11:55.260 May the Lord lift up his countenance upon us

00:11:58.420 And give us peace

00:12:01.680 Amen

00:12:03.520 Ladies and gentlemen

00:12:10.200 This concludes today's ceremony

00:12:12.320 Please remain seated until the departure of the official party

00:12:16.000 Thank you for joining us this morning

00:12:18.000 The Pentagon Memorial

00:12:19.540 And the Pentagon Memorial Chapel

00:12:22.120 Are open until 12pm

00:12:24.340 President Trump is exiting the Pentagon for the

00:12:42.100 Very solemn commemoration

00:12:44.980 Pete Hexeth

00:12:45.800 We're going to in a moment

00:12:47.960 Call for the beginning of that

00:12:49.360 Where President Trump said

00:12:50.380 Very moving

00:12:52.380 Remarks about Charlie Kirk

00:12:55.760 I'm here in Utah with

00:12:59.120 Andrew Colvett

00:13:01.340 Charlie Kirk's partner

00:13:02.760 And particularly on the content side

00:13:04.200 First off, can you get us up to date?

00:13:06.060 How's everything doing?

00:13:07.260 How's everybody holding together?

00:13:08.540 You know, I think

00:13:12.460 As good as could be expected

00:13:15.680 As well as could be expected

00:13:16.920 You know, yesterday was a day that

00:13:21.460 You know, none of us ever wanted to live through

00:13:25.660 Or experience

00:13:26.740 And it was a horror and a nightmare

00:13:29.600 You know, at the same time I didn't

00:13:33.020 You know, I got when the team told me that

00:13:35.540 You guys wanted me on the show

00:13:38.300 This morning

00:13:38.680 I candidly didn't want to do it

00:13:40.260 But I knew Charlie would want me to be here

00:13:43.280 And I could hear his voice in my head

00:13:45.800 Being like, you know

00:13:46.740 Toughen up, you know

00:13:48.060 Better figure it out

00:13:49.700 You can handle this

00:13:50.880 And so

00:13:52.840 Yeah, I mean, we're going to

00:13:55.180 You know, just like before

00:13:58.380 We're going to do things that push us

00:14:00.860 And we're uncomfortable with

00:14:02.020 But that he would want us to do

00:14:04.160 So

00:14:04.540 And, you know

00:14:07.760 We're going to take his spirit on

00:14:09.520 And keep fighting

00:14:10.600 And keep pushing

00:14:11.400 And

00:14:11.880 Yeah, but

00:14:15.240 It's still raw

00:14:16.820 You know

00:14:17.400 It's an organization

00:14:20.140 That's changed the direction

00:14:22.340 Of the country in American politics

00:14:25.040 But it's a very young organization

00:14:27.040 With young people

00:14:28.220 I mean, Charlie was young

00:14:29.160 And the thing about Charlie

00:14:30.800 He was a happy warrior, right?

00:14:32.100 No matter how intense

00:14:33.620 It was always

00:14:34.300 How is the organization doing?

00:14:37.620 You have so many young people there, right?

00:14:39.700 I mean, Charlie started this thing

00:14:41.160 When he was, what, 18

00:14:41.960 19

00:14:42.740 18, 19 years old

00:14:44.120 How's the overall team doing?

00:14:47.340 You know

00:14:48.040 I think

00:14:49.040 Everybody's still in shock

00:14:50.940 I think

00:14:52.860 You know

00:14:53.920 We held a prayer vigil

00:14:55.260 At the HQ last night

00:14:57.080 And it was beautiful

00:14:58.100 There was outpourings of support

00:15:00.060 From across the country

00:15:01.220 Vigils popped up 0.97

00:15:04.520 In random places

00:15:05.580 And that was amazing to see

00:15:07.620 Vigils all over the world

00:15:09.140 All over the world

00:15:09.980 Yeah

00:15:10.500 And huge

00:15:11.780 Spontaneous

00:15:12.660 Spontaneous

00:15:13.160 Self-organizing

00:15:14.100 And

00:15:14.840 As Charlie would love

00:15:16.180 Right?

00:15:16.940 I mean, that was his whole thing

00:15:18.100 Yeah

00:15:18.520 And

00:15:18.980 Yeah, I mean

00:15:20.600 Listen, a lot of

00:15:21.480 The senior leadership

00:15:23.320 Came straight here

00:15:25.140 Immediately

00:15:25.740 There's a few

00:15:26.940 Senior leadership

00:15:28.160 That are still in Phoenix

00:15:29.360 And

00:15:30.520 Listen

00:15:31.920 We're

00:15:32.380 One of Charlie's

00:15:34.220 I mean

00:15:35.500 Absolute cries of his heart

00:15:36.700 And

00:15:37.080 Something I heard him say

00:15:39.320 Repeatedly

00:15:40.100 Was that

00:15:40.680 We're building an institution

00:15:42.340 That's going to live beyond me

00:15:43.640 And he said that

00:15:44.920 Over and over and over again

00:15:47.000 Obviously he is

00:15:47.880 Irreplaceable

00:15:49.300 And one of one

00:15:51.120 But I know that's what he'd want

00:15:54.120 And already the outpouring of support

00:15:57.020 From donors

00:15:58.540 And supporters

00:15:59.940 And friends

00:16:00.940 That want to keep the mission going

00:16:03.140 And they want

00:16:04.060 Charlie's

00:16:05.140 Legacy

00:16:07.100 Part of that legacy

00:16:08.460 To be that

00:16:09.620 It doesn't

00:16:10.540 End with him

00:16:11.300 And

00:16:11.980 I think that's something

00:16:13.340 That we are very committed to

00:16:14.840 And

00:16:16.000 There's

00:16:16.960 You know

00:16:17.280 There's a lot to

00:16:18.040 There's a lot to

00:16:18.920 Still just process

00:16:20.320 He picked you guys for a reason

00:16:21.820 I mean you've got

00:16:22.880 You and Tyler

00:16:24.360 And the senior team

00:16:25.540 You know

00:16:26.120 He was building an institution

00:16:27.800 That would live

00:16:29.280 You know

00:16:29.540 Because

00:16:29.880 Hey Charlie

00:16:31.080 I told Charlie all the time

00:16:32.900 He was a future president of the United States

00:16:34.300 At some point in time

00:16:35.380 He was going to go into elective politics

00:16:37.620 Right

00:16:38.280 Therefore he would

00:16:39.140 The institution

00:16:40.260 Would survive him

00:16:42.240 As he went on

00:16:43.100 And did other

00:16:43.880 You know

00:16:44.620 Either ran for governor of Arizona

00:16:46.080 Or ran for the U.S. Senate

00:16:47.220 Or you know

00:16:48.840 Was picked as a vice presidential candidate

00:16:50.720 Right

00:16:51.080 So he was building an institution

00:16:53.280 The entire time

00:16:54.820 Knowing that

00:16:55.740 His future

00:16:56.780 Wasn't always going to be

00:16:58.180 Turning Point

00:16:58.700 He would

00:16:59.040 Turning Point would stand on its own

00:17:00.620 At some point in time

00:17:01.460 Yeah I mean

00:17:03.160 That's true

00:17:03.740 Obviously we

00:17:05.140 Anticipated

00:17:06.340 Charlie being with Turning Point

00:17:08.940 A lot longer

00:17:09.700 And sort of always being there

00:17:11.440 Whether it was

00:17:12.060 Emeritus

00:17:12.700 You know

00:17:13.460 Or not

00:17:14.460 But

00:17:14.760 You know

00:17:16.560 I

00:17:17.000 I know

00:17:18.520 What you're saying is true

00:17:20.180 You know

00:17:20.880 My wife

00:17:22.120 Just this morning

00:17:23.520 Before I left to come here

00:17:24.640 Said the same thing

00:17:25.580 It's like

00:17:25.980 God has

00:17:26.580 Put you guys in this position

00:17:28.200 For such a time as this

00:17:29.740 And for a purpose

00:17:30.700 And a reason

00:17:31.220 And he knew what he was doing

00:17:32.200 And I believe that

00:17:33.040 And

00:17:34.040 You know

00:17:35.540 I think right now

00:17:37.480 We

00:17:38.620 Still have some mourning

00:17:39.900 And grieving

00:17:40.380 Obviously to do

00:17:41.300 And

00:17:41.560 But yeah

00:17:43.680 I mean

00:17:44.280 Charlie

00:17:45.480 If

00:17:47.120 If we wanted to

00:17:48.340 Disgrace

00:17:49.240 The legacy

00:17:50.060 Of Charlie Kirk

00:17:50.780 It would be

00:17:51.400 Not carrying on

00:17:52.740 His mission

00:17:53.600 And

00:17:54.140 That is not an option

00:17:55.440 No he was a fighter

00:17:56.400 I mean

00:17:57.940 His life ended right there

00:17:59.540 When he's doing

00:17:59.920 What he loved to do

00:18:00.720 Right debate

00:18:01.260 Let's play

00:18:11.280 Feedback from Andrew

00:18:12.400 Before we begin

00:18:14.380 Let me express

00:18:15.580 The horror

00:18:16.400 And grief

00:18:17.520 So many Americans

00:18:19.660 At the heinous

00:18:23.580 Charlie Kirk

00:18:25.340 Have felt

00:18:25.900 Charlie was a giant

00:18:28.000 Of his generation 0.97

00:18:29.180 A champion of liberty

00:18:30.340 And an inspiration

00:18:32.040 To millions

00:18:47.340 That Charlie's voice

00:18:48.500 And the courage

00:18:49.340 He put into

00:18:50.140 The hearts

00:18:50.680 Of countless people

00:19:20.440 That's a pretty

00:19:22.060 Powerful statement

00:19:22.880 By the president

00:19:23.420 Of the United States

00:19:24.040 Yeah

00:19:24.840 You know

00:19:27.980 I'm reminded

00:19:29.500 Of so many

00:19:30.360 Conversations

00:19:31.260 Where I would

00:19:32.260 Ask Charlie

00:19:32.780 What did the president

00:19:33.660 Say

00:19:34.060 And so many times

00:19:37.220 His answer

00:19:37.620 Is like

00:19:37.940 People just don't

00:19:39.020 Understand

00:19:39.380 We're actually

00:19:40.140 Friends

00:19:40.640 Like

00:19:41.420 We're good friends

00:19:42.840 And he loved him

00:19:45.300 And I know

00:19:46.000 Trump

00:19:46.280 Loved Charlie

00:19:47.340 And it wasn't

00:19:49.320 Transactional

00:19:50.140 And Steve

00:19:51.920 You know this

00:19:52.520 Charlie was loyal

00:19:53.760 To a fault

00:19:54.400 And

00:19:55.880 You know

00:19:57.620 I'd see the people

00:19:58.360 Online

00:19:59.260 You know

00:20:00.420 Criticizing

00:20:01.060 If they

00:20:01.400 If Trump did

00:20:02.560 Something they

00:20:02.940 Disagreed with

00:20:03.760 And Charlie

00:20:04.660 Wasn't loud enough

00:20:05.520 You know

00:20:06.080 Against it

00:20:07.060 And people

00:20:08.240 Just didn't

00:20:08.620 Understand

00:20:08.940 Charlie was loyal

00:20:10.080 He was fundamentally

00:20:11.260 Good

00:20:11.820 And decent

00:20:13.240 And anybody

00:20:14.860 Who knew him

00:20:15.680 Intimately

00:20:16.260 Knew that he

00:20:16.880 Was overly

00:20:17.640 Loyal

00:20:18.080 Overly

00:20:18.580 Generous

00:20:19.220 Overly

00:20:19.880 Decent

00:20:20.840 And patient

00:20:21.600 And so many

00:20:23.160 People that

00:20:23.860 You know

00:20:25.160 Maybe didn't

00:20:26.640 Treat him

00:20:27.120 The way they

00:20:27.620 Should have

00:20:28.020 Charlie would

00:20:29.020 Never

00:20:29.320 Return like 0.99

00:20:30.880 For like

00:20:31.300 And he

00:20:32.420 Really saw

00:20:32.980 His role

00:20:33.640 As keeping

00:20:34.940 The coalition

00:20:35.480 Together

00:20:35.860 That Trump

00:20:37.320 Built in

00:20:37.800 2024

00:20:38.320 And that

00:20:39.020 Turning Point

00:20:40.040 Played a

00:20:40.340 Huge role

00:20:40.680 And Charlie

00:20:41.080 Played a

00:20:41.420 Huge role

00:20:41.800 And you

00:20:42.840 Played a

00:20:43.160 Huge role

00:20:43.560 Steve

00:20:44.020 And keeping

00:20:45.560 That coalition

00:20:46.580 Together

00:20:47.000 Because he

00:20:49.140 Didn't see this

00:20:49.660 As a

00:20:50.060 Four year

00:20:50.580 Win

00:20:50.920 He saw it

00:20:51.440 As a

00:20:52.100 Generational

00:20:52.820 Win

00:20:53.140 As a

00:20:53.700 60 year

00:20:54.200 Win

00:20:54.440 That he

00:20:55.260 Wanted to

00:20:55.660 Build upon

00:20:56.240 For the

00:20:56.740 Sake of

00:20:57.100 His kids

00:20:57.720 And this

00:20:59.020 Country

00:20:59.400 And

00:21:00.500 You know

00:21:01.780 I think

00:21:03.000 I can hear

00:21:03.820 It in the

00:21:04.080 President's

00:21:04.540 Voice

00:21:04.820 This morning

00:21:05.580 That

00:21:06.820 He lost

00:21:08.500 A friend

00:21:08.920 As we

00:21:09.320 All did

00:21:09.680 And

00:21:10.420 I think

00:21:11.600 It's a

00:21:11.840 Great honor

00:21:12.320 I know

00:21:13.780 Charlie

00:21:14.580 Is honored

00:21:15.400 And his

00:21:16.820 Wife is 1.00

00:21:17.220 Honored

00:21:18.380 And

00:21:18.720 It's

00:21:20.020 Well deserved

00:21:20.580 We're going

00:21:37.100 The most

00:21:39.180 Or the

00:21:39.600 Pressures

00:21:40.040 Under

00:21:40.200 Because

00:21:40.400 He was

00:28:51.080 Thank you.

00:29:21.080 Thank you.

00:29:51.080 Look, Charlie Kirk was assassinated in cold blood.

00:29:53.400 Charlie Kirk was executed.

00:29:54.560 We're going to get to the bottom of that, right?

00:29:59.740 And, you know, that'll be dealt with when it's got to be dealt with.

00:30:03.780 But the work of Charlie Kirk, particularly the three – building the institution, which was so powerful, really telling everybody, I can change with this institution the arc of – where young people's perception of politics and engagement in politics and volunteering in politics, and therefore the arc of the nation, which he did.

00:30:26.200 This is what 2024 was.

00:30:28.180 You two guys are the two key guys.

00:30:29.740 You on the content side, more or less, and Tyler on the political side.

00:30:33.740 And what always impressed me about you guys and Charlie, he created a learning institution.

00:30:38.780 I remember coming on the show all night in the wee hours of the morning, Cary Lake, this county's coming in, this district's coming in.

00:30:48.960 And I remember Tyler and Charlie, you guys, afterwards, okay, we've learned a lesson here, and it's never going to happen again.

00:30:56.560 And we will build an organization to the fact that Tyler – and look, if it has not been for turning point, your guys' focus on getting the kids out for particularly ballot chasing, low propensity, low information voters, President Trump would not be in the White House right now.

00:31:10.220 Yeah, there's a – I totally agree.

00:31:12.840 We were laughing yesterday that Charlie would have been upset that we weren't streaming last night.

00:31:20.080 A hundred percent.

00:31:21.460 Yeah, Charlie would have wanted us to do it, and that's partly why I'm here this morning.

00:31:26.000 You know, I couldn't help but think – and I hope this isn't, you know, too bold of me to say, but watching the second tower commemoration, I feel like, you know, America just lost a third tower of a man.

00:31:38.560 And yesterday, and we're going to miss him, but we built an institution.

00:31:47.640 He built an institution designed to stand the test of time and to be able to ride out these waves and the different iterations of our political environment and the different generations to come behind.

00:32:01.740 And so – and I do – I can just tell you there is the outpouring of love and support blowing me away, some of these texts I'm getting.

00:32:10.320 And so, yeah, those three prongs.

00:32:12.180 I mean, he did build a learning institution.

00:32:15.440 We were taking education into the universities that the universities weren't doing.

00:32:19.560 And there was such a hunger and a thirst on these campuses from these kids to see that combat of ideas and the back and forth and to hear people say something unapologetic about what they believed and they stood by it and they could defend it.

00:32:39.120 And that piece, Steve – I mean, there's a pollster, Mitchell Brown, who's one of the Trump pollsters, Signal.

00:32:47.760 He did a poll after the election.

00:32:51.180 And basically, if you extrapolate it out, it was 16 or 17 million young people were more likely to vote for Trump across the country because of the content that Charlie Kirk made on these college campuses.

00:33:04.740 President Trump awarded posthumously Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the highest civilian honor that one could get.

00:33:12.280 He's also announced he was going to give one to Rudy Giuliani, the mayor, as we see in the New York shots, is in the front row there as America's mayor.

00:33:19.220 Tyler, I remember – when I say learning institutions, Charlie led an institution.

00:33:27.700 You guys didn't kid yourselves.

00:33:30.980 I remember coming on the show.

00:33:32.760 You guys were in the studio.

00:33:33.900 I would come on, and literally in the Cary Lake thing, we were going – remember, is this precinct – and you guys, after that, really changed everything by coming up with this ballot-chasing initiative.

00:33:45.960 And this ballot-chasing initiative is hard work, and it's not the type of work you think young people are going to be that excited about.

00:33:52.600 But you guys – Tyler, tell us about that because the reason we're here today with a House and a Senate and the presidency is because the work of Charlie – vision of Charlie Kirk and the work of the team around him, sir.

00:34:06.400 Yeah, and you're exactly right, Steve, and you know this.

00:34:12.300 We buckled in and got, again, an introspection into the world of politics, the RNC, what the Republican establishment wasn't doing on behalf of the American people.

00:34:26.600 And Charlie made a decision to do that work, and it's not easy work.

00:34:35.620 It's big work, and we knew we had the people to do the work.

00:34:38.660 And so we felt – and Charlie had always felt this way.

00:34:42.120 It felt like there was a mantle that needed to be carried by him with his influence, especially with young men in this last election, to get that work done.

00:34:54.960 And that's all of the conversations we had moving forward.

00:34:59.100 And so you look at the most recent conversation I had with Charlie was this last week of being dramatically concerned about the direction of where the Republican Party is going, about conservatives, lifting up conservatives,

00:35:15.120 making sure that we have enough young people that feel like they have the backing to run, to run for it.

00:35:21.240 He's constantly focused on who in the bench were we building, just like we were focused on every single day, getting things done by 9 a.m.,

00:35:33.260 having a full agenda of things that we're going to move the needle.

00:35:36.260 The big question was who's going to be the next man up to fill the need and fill the void, and then how are we going to help those people make sure that they get elected?

00:35:47.340 And those are the two very simple things when we talk about ballot chasing that Charlie and his legacy will carry on.

00:35:53.120 We will carry it on as so many people within our sphere, within our ecosystem, are hopefully yesterday waking up and realizing they have to get more involved.

00:36:04.000 They have to do more.

00:36:05.380 They have to help chase ballots.

00:36:07.100 They have to help get out the vote.

00:36:08.440 They have to run for office.

00:36:09.920 They have to step up because life is fragile, is short, and this country is hanging by a thread at times.

00:36:17.720 And we are very lucky this last election we were able to bring all of that together and work with the team from the content side to the Turning Point USA side,

00:36:31.360 building the funnel for the bench and then working on the political side to actually put bodies on the ground that we need.

00:36:39.680 And, again, we're looking ahead to 2026 and 2028.

00:36:42.240 And I said this to some of our team yesterday is there's nothing that we can do more to honor Charlie than to see this thing through.

00:36:52.300 It cannot lose steam.

00:36:53.380 It cannot lose any kind of gas whatsoever.

00:36:55.880 We have a war to fight.

00:36:57.080 We have a battle to fight.

00:36:58.280 Charlie Kirk would want to finish what we started, right?

00:37:02.280 That was about – I'll start with Andrew then.

00:37:05.020 I want to bring you in, Tyler.

00:37:06.200 When I looked at Charlie, I said, this guy's tapped into something.

00:37:10.760 And what it was was a deep spirituality and a focus on young men.

00:37:15.180 He realized that young men were lost.

00:37:18.220 Tell me about this.

00:37:19.240 I mean, you know, we saw it in the social media metrics.

00:37:23.920 We saw it in the crowds.

00:37:26.620 We saw it in just – he couldn't walk down a street.

00:37:29.800 And I kept telling this because, you know, after the fall of 2025 and into the spring, we had to kind of recalibrate because he was so, so, so famous.

00:37:40.800 Like, he –

00:37:41.800 24.

00:37:42.480 24.

00:37:43.100 Fall of 24.

00:37:43.920 Spring of 25.

00:37:44.700 Yeah, 25.

00:37:46.400 And it was like, you know, he was always pretty well known.

00:37:49.700 Um, you know, even when I first started working with him, like, you know, eight years ago, you know, he'd get fist bumps in the airport and stuff like that from random people.

00:37:58.300 But then, like, I mean, it went so nuclear.

00:38:01.660 And it would always be these young guys.

00:38:04.800 Charlie, can I get a selfie?

00:38:05.640 Can I get a – I mean, and they would mob him.

00:38:07.240 They would mob him.

00:38:07.980 It didn't matter if he was walking on the street of Manhattan or in Seoul, South Korea or London, England or, you know, Montana or anywhere in between.

00:38:18.020 It was – it was incredible.

00:38:20.500 I have a story for you that you would probably enjoy, Steve.

00:38:23.300 He was hanging out with some Fox personalities, on-air Fox personalities.

00:38:28.780 And they were at this bar and they were kind of, you know, talking.

00:38:32.840 They wanted to talk about some things.

00:38:35.860 And I won't say the names because that would be – Charlie wouldn't want –

00:38:38.860 These are people that you would –

00:38:40.260 You would know.

00:38:40.940 These are people that –

00:38:41.820 The public would know, right?

00:38:42.640 Of course.

00:38:43.420 Like, very well-known people within conservative movement.

00:38:46.100 Right.

00:38:46.240 And they're at this bar because that's the only place nearby.

00:38:48.560 Just to match –

00:38:49.300 I think I'm going to love this story.

00:38:51.040 Yeah.

00:38:52.180 And you've got to understand, you know, Charlie, you know, had a good relationship with Fox, especially at the end.

00:39:00.020 But there was times where it wasn't, you know, where he wasn't –

00:39:02.160 I thought you'd hang out like for three years when he was banned because of your guy's work on Stone Election and all that.

00:39:08.780 But –

00:39:08.960 What does it matter now?

00:39:09.680 I mean, it was, you know, it was after Tucker.

00:39:12.360 But anyways, they ended up embracing and it was good.

00:39:16.260 It was good.

00:39:16.840 Anyways, I want to be gracious in this time.

00:39:19.500 It was good.

00:39:20.380 Anyway, so part of that getting good time, they're talking at this bar.

00:39:24.700 And this is a small town.

00:39:27.080 I mean, you can imagine Fox is on every television in this town.

00:39:30.020 And there was a series of about 50 to 75 people, I'm told, over the course of about an hour.

00:39:38.160 And they all came up for selfies with Charlie.

00:39:40.960 And on about 20 of those occasions, they asked these very famous Fox hosts if they could take the selfie with Charlie.

00:39:48.160 They could take the picture.

00:39:49.540 Yeah.

00:39:50.400 Hey, can you work the camera for him?

00:39:52.040 Yeah.

00:39:52.160 And so, yeah, I mean, like, that was what Charlie's life had become.

00:39:56.840 And he told me, he's like, I've just – I've come to grips with it.

00:40:00.860 I've accepted this as my new reality.

00:40:02.960 But the amount of love just that he organically got.

00:40:06.080 Look at – we'll play later today in the afternoon show.

00:40:08.640 The great Mina Kim, Grace and Mo go over to Korea.

00:40:12.240 And Charlie – I mean, there's thousands of people at this thing.

00:40:14.720 And Charlie's like such a known personality, right?

00:40:17.240 It's just – it's incredible.

00:40:18.580 It's global.

00:40:19.360 It's not just the United States.

00:40:20.560 It's so global.

00:40:22.160 Tyler, talk to me about the focus on men.

00:40:25.620 Why did you choose?

00:40:26.580 Why did Charlie Kirk particularly focus on young men and made the point continually that they're adrift,

00:40:33.580 that something's happened different now in our country that's never happened before,

00:40:37.240 that young men are kind of adrift and we, turning point in the senior leadership, need to focus on that?

00:40:45.260 Well, Steve, remember I met Charlie when he was basically a teenager, Andrew not too long after that.

00:40:51.360 And, you know, Andrew and I are the exact same age and we have a very similar family situation, married and kids and everything else.

00:41:00.600 And I think one of the pleasures of getting that front row seat with Charlie is being able to see Charlie grow into a husband and a father.

00:41:10.560 And for us being a little bit older than him, it was always extremely gratifying to watch him become the man he wanted to be,

00:41:27.900 that he saw for himself, that he advocated for from day one, even as a young guy,

00:41:38.440 that he wanted to be that honorable vision of a father and a husband for Erica that he is.

00:41:49.140 And, you know, many people know this story, but, you know, Erica, I met Erica hosting the very first Trump rally ever.

00:41:59.340 We, we, we'd organized it 2015 in July of 2015 and it was a Phoenix and it was what started the whole Trump, Trump rally phenomenon.

00:42:11.060 It was the first big one in Phoenix, but many people don't realize behind Trump speaking was my family.

00:42:18.360 And Erica was, and Erica was right behind the president and she, I wanted to hire her. 0.98

00:42:26.600 Uh, Charlie had different plans for that.

00:42:28.840 He, uh, he met Erica and was like, Oh my gosh, I have to marry this girl.

00:42:33.840 And he did.

00:42:34.620 And her, her world is collapsing, you know, because of this, this, this circumstance,

00:42:43.340 but he wanted to be a father and a husband and a father first.

00:42:48.980 And so when you talk about young men and that influence over young men,

00:42:52.300 every single decision that has been made for many years, you know,

00:42:58.260 I would say pretty close to the beginning of, of turning point has been centered around this,

00:43:04.120 being a good husband and a good father figure and how we can influence young men.

00:43:09.480 And, and, and when you have that as your, as your mission first, as your voice first,

00:43:15.260 you attract young men.

00:43:17.440 And it wasn't popular to be that, you know, 10 years ago when, when, you know,

00:43:22.660 11 years ago when I met Charlie, uh, and now it is popular.

00:43:26.960 We see it everywhere and everything that we do.

00:43:29.880 Young men admire Charlie Kirk for the husband and dad that he is.

00:43:35.200 And I think that that's the most important thing that I want people to know that he was

00:43:43.520 such a great example that all of us that knew him the best and that we, we got to watch

00:43:49.680 him operate because there was never a decision that was made that didn't go through that

00:43:56.140 lens.

00:43:56.580 And that's so important for people to know.

00:43:59.820 And it's such an example.

00:44:01.760 And that's why young men are coming around because they're figuring out that that's the

00:44:05.620 way there's nothing better than having kids.

00:44:08.220 There's nothing better than being honest, but there's nothing better than putting your

00:44:10.540 family first.

00:44:11.980 So I'm so sorry.

00:44:13.360 I'm like, so.

00:44:17.200 No, it's great.

00:44:18.300 How did Charlie, how did Charlie Kirk do that?

00:44:20.380 How did he make himself into the man that he wanted to be?

00:44:26.180 Well, I got to say, um, Erica gets a lot of credit for that. 0.96

00:44:30.960 When Erica came around, I mean, Charlie knew what his North star was, but then when Erica

00:44:35.400 came around, it was like, just focused him like a laser.

00:44:39.620 And, um, if anybody who knows Erica knows, she's like legitimately one of the most amazing

00:44:46.660 people you're ever going to meet.

00:44:47.700 And this is why Charlie continued to focus on marriage and particularly getting married

00:44:51.500 young and starting a family and family formation.

00:44:54.180 Well, but he was in very Charlie fashion to tell a story, you know, like Tyler, you know,

00:44:59.840 he's like, he basically told Erica, you know, I have some bad news and some good news.

00:45:04.420 Uh, the bad news is, you know, I'm not going to hire you at turning point.

00:45:07.700 The good news is like, I want to date you.

00:45:10.260 And they went on, they went on dates and obviously ended up getting married.

00:45:14.220 And, um, and that was very Charlie, uh, because he was, you know, one thing I can tell you is

00:45:20.580 from 18 to 31, Charlie packed more life into his, those short days than most humans will

00:45:30.460 pack into a hundred.

00:45:31.640 And he lived his life so full.

00:45:35.240 And he, you know, I was just reflecting on what Tyler was just saying about young men

00:45:40.700 and your question, you know, I got off topic, I apologize, but your question about young

00:45:44.560 men and you had this, this NBC poll that came out just a couple of days ago and Charlie was

00:45:49.420 so excited about it.

00:45:50.380 Cause he said, he said, listen, we got a lot of work to do with the women. 1.00

00:45:53.300 He's like, but we've done some great work with young men.

00:45:56.040 Like they know it, they want to have, uh, get married, talk about that because the number

00:46:00.700 one thing of young men is they want to, they want to have children.

00:46:03.940 Yeah.

00:46:04.380 And, and Charlie, Charlie, I mean, we've preached it.

00:46:07.520 I mean, and by the way, that's, this is, this is existing in a world full of other voices,

00:46:12.980 even some on the right that say, oh, you know, you know, don't get married.

00:46:17.480 It's not worth it.

00:46:18.300 The marriage laws are X, Y, Z and Charlie's P P O V was like, let's, let's make them sacred

00:46:23.840 again.

00:46:24.400 Let's restore this institution because it's God's design.

00:46:27.780 And he said that over and over again, God's design is beautiful.

00:46:30.580 God's design is amazing.

00:46:32.400 Let's pour into it.

00:46:33.360 Let's lean into God's design.

00:46:35.220 And, um, and I can just tell you with the outpouring of all the letters and the notes

00:46:40.300 and I've been showing you here that my team is sending me from all the vigils that these

00:46:45.020 pictures of these notes and there's handwritten notes, handwritten notes with tears.

00:46:48.300 There's stains on them.

00:46:50.000 And, um, you know, they keep saying like, you led me back to faith in God.

00:46:55.840 You led me back.

00:46:56.820 You restored my faith.

00:46:58.320 And, um, Charlie wanted to be remembered for his faith.

00:47:01.820 And so I'm just so proud of that.

00:47:03.940 And Steve, with your permission, I wanted to, I wanted to read, um, something that's going

00:47:08.400 to be going up on our, uh, turning point socials very soon.

00:47:13.240 Um, and our team put their heads together and wrote this and says, and you're going to see

00:47:18.120 this on the website soon, but I figured I'd give it to you here first, Steve.

00:47:21.780 Um, every one of us at turning point is crushed and devastated by the hateful murder of our

00:47:28.920 founder and guiding light, Charlie Kirk.

00:47:30.580 All of us have lost a leader, a mentor and a friend above all, our hearts are with Erica

00:47:37.800 and their two children.

00:47:39.900 Charlie was the ideal husband and the perfect father above all else.

00:47:44.520 We ask you to pray for the Kirk's after the incomprehensible loss that they have suffered more

00:47:50.640 than anyone.

00:47:51.140 Charlie believed in the power of argument and good faith debate to find the truth and guide

00:47:55.540 people towards if not agreement, at least mutual understanding.

00:48:00.020 Charlie was no stranger to threats.

00:48:01.860 He received hundreds throughout his life.

00:48:03.940 Really?

00:48:04.600 It was almost daily.

00:48:06.800 Um, but he will always, he always prioritized reaching as many young Americans as possible over

00:48:12.920 his own personal safety.

00:48:14.780 Now, Charlie has become America's greatest martyr to the freedom of speech.

00:48:19.100 He's so adored in his 31 years.

00:48:22.000 Charlie lived more than any of us will live in a hundred.

00:48:25.180 He had an overwhelming passion for life and a deep belief in his power as an individual to

00:48:29.960 make a difference with the spirit of a pioneer.

00:48:32.360 Charlie launched turning point out of his parents garage as an 18 year old with no money, no name

00:48:37.160 recognition, and only a dream.

00:48:38.620 His energy and drive were awe inspiring, without equal, and deeply infectious.

00:48:45.080 Charlie refused to squander a single day of his life.

00:48:48.420 And that's so true.

00:48:50.240 He was a natural builder and problem solver who loved to challenge and saw every setback

00:48:55.540 as a chance to learn, grow, pray, and try again.

00:48:58.540 He was fundamentally decent, always eager to make new friends and allies and to support and

00:49:03.840 defend the ones he already had made.

00:49:05.260 His values were timeless American ones, honesty, forthrightness, duty, loyalty, and fair play.

00:49:12.660 And I'm almost done.

00:49:13.880 No, it's fantastic.

00:49:14.840 Keep going.

00:49:15.680 Charlie loved America, its people, its constitution, its freedom, and the limitless good of all

00:49:23.840 of them have done for the entire world.

00:49:27.000 But above all, Charlie lived every day with an overflowing love of the Christ he knew he would

00:49:32.840 one day get to see.

00:49:34.600 When asked, Charlie said that above all, he wished to be remembered for his faith.

00:49:38.880 Far more than any political victory, Charlie wanted to see a spiritual revival among America's

00:49:44.160 youth.

00:49:44.860 He wanted a nation of happy, thriving families who loved God and each other.

00:49:50.160 And at his final public speech, just days before his murder, Charlie witnessed to Jesus

00:49:55.680 Christ to an audience of non-believers. 0.84

00:49:58.780 Even in his very last moments, Charlie was professing the gospel.

00:50:03.100 He ran his race well all the way to the end.

00:50:06.540 Now he goes to his heavenly reward.

00:50:09.280 Although Charlie is gone, his legacy will endure.

00:50:12.700 He shall not grow old.

00:50:14.040 Age shall not weary him.

00:50:25.800 For all time, he will remain the brave young man who inspired tens of millions of Americans

00:50:34.040 to better themselves and take action to better America.

00:50:39.140 All of us will miss Charlie.

00:50:40.900 None of us will ever forget him.

00:50:42.380 Fantastic.

00:50:46.380 Tyler, comments, observations.

00:50:49.760 Beautiful.

00:50:52.540 Yeah, it's one of the most beautiful things that the team has put together is that it's

00:51:01.480 important for people to know that that work is focused on, again, we were talking about

00:51:09.660 young men, rebuilding the home is the fundamental to having a faith-centered life and, you know,

00:51:20.640 his belief that culture downstream from cultures is how you get your politics.

00:51:27.720 And so we talk about that.

00:51:29.920 We train all of our staff to that every single day.

00:51:34.200 And that is what the culmination of what the full Charlie Kirk perspective was.

00:51:39.920 And the beautiful part about this last election in 2024 was people saw it.

00:51:47.360 It was undeniable that everyone on the left could see it.

00:51:51.980 Forget the right that, you know, we sometimes think we see these things, but the left saw it.

00:51:57.640 And they were so scared of that because the left could never embrace any of these values.

00:52:04.400 They're not interested in any of these values.

00:52:06.300 And that's why these conservative principles that, you know, we have worked with so many

00:52:12.220 young people at all different ages, you know, everything from high school, college, you

00:52:17.700 know, colleges are bread and butter, which is the heartbeat of Turning Point USA, where

00:52:21.460 we started and, you know, Charlie Kirk pulling out a folding table on campus, a card table on

00:52:29.860 campus and handing out flyers that he printed himself out of a small office in Illinois.

00:52:36.000 In the shadows of the Obama reelect campaign, people understand this was all born from the 0.98

00:52:42.300 shadows of the Obama reelect campaign heading into 2012, where you had a Chicago boy in the

00:52:51.980 shadows of the Obama reelect campaign that was out of the Chicago metro area, working as

00:52:58.200 a true small versus large battle.

00:53:07.200 I mean, one kid, all of this, millions of voices, tens of millions of voices now have come out

00:53:13.200 of it over the last decade plus.

00:53:16.380 And it's really been such an honor to see how that work has culminated and the fruit that

00:53:22.960 it's born and it will continue to bear.

00:53:25.980 And that's the that's the mission that we have to be on at this point, which is we have

00:53:30.880 to carry the baton of what Charlie's vision was, because it's it's it's not replicable, but

00:53:40.880 millions of people can can stand in the pocket, can can be a version, that version of American

00:53:52.980 that Charlie hoped to influence, because that was not the path that we were on in 2011, 2012.

00:54:01.480 And and and Charlie stepped in as a as a teenager to give America a voice again, to give conservatives

00:54:12.820 a voice again.

00:54:15.060 And just like Andrew had said, he's always you know, there was always that question of I can't

00:54:22.540 really envision, you know, an old man, Charlie Kirk.

00:54:25.860 And for many of us, it was envisioning him as president of the United States for that reason.

00:54:30.200 And he is now going to live on forever and in all of forever and eternity as that young

00:54:38.440 man who did that work, who engaged in that work, who changed so many lives, who dramatically

00:54:45.320 changed the trajectory of where America was heading.

00:54:48.840 And I don't think anyone can ever, you know, fully comprehend what that what that will do,

00:54:56.060 what that will, what that will bear over the course of the next decades.

00:55:01.640 But we'll see it.

00:55:03.080 And we know.

00:55:04.020 And again, we'll be able to have those conversations and remember him for that.

00:55:09.680 You've never had someone of that age.

00:55:14.340 Remember, Charlie did not have a college degree.

00:55:17.600 Charlie did this as a teenager.

00:55:18.580 And you have to go back to the revolutionary generation, Hamilton, Jefferson, people like

00:55:24.180 that in that youth to see somebody at that age do it.

00:55:28.440 I know you guys got so much to do and I appreciate taking the hour, but I want to finish with one

00:55:32.880 just observations from both of you.

00:55:36.220 And I'll start with with you, Andrew.

00:55:39.060 People don't realize the bravery and courage is the most important of all virtues.

00:55:43.960 As we know, cause upon courage, all other virtues rest.

00:55:48.040 People do not understand the pressure, the tension and the threats against Charlie Kirk

00:55:53.820 that he just goes, I'm not going to stop this work.

00:55:57.920 I mean, he was assassinated in the very moment of what he did, what really changed the arc of

00:56:04.840 this country, personal engagement in an upbeat mode.

00:56:08.460 But but digging in on debate and free speech and the sharing of ideas and changing minds

00:56:14.800 to talk to me about he constantly, you guys, he was under threats and he would not back

00:56:21.780 off.

00:56:22.140 He did not.

00:56:22.580 And that's what we have to understand here.

00:56:24.080 We cannot back off.

00:56:25.980 We can't flinch your thoughts.

00:56:27.820 I mean, I hate to be the guy, but I begged him to do less.

00:56:32.620 I was worried about his energy level.

00:56:34.580 I was worried about his, his, uh, his health and, um, I begged him to, you know, maybe we

00:56:41.580 don't need to do a fall tour this way.

00:56:43.700 Maybe, maybe, maybe we could put glass up.

00:56:45.580 I mean, we've talked about all this stuff and he just, you know, Charlie was, he was just

00:56:49.760 like, no, I'm not going to do that.

00:56:50.760 You know, like, you know, I want to be close to everybody, you know?

00:56:53.400 And, um, you know, and, and our security team is legitimately top notch for anybody wondering

00:56:59.200 they, they worked so long and extensively with local PD and advancing all of these stops.

00:57:05.600 I mean, we have like an army of these guys.

00:57:08.700 Yeah.

00:57:09.200 And he didn't want to do that, but you know, and I, in some ways, you know, he died with

00:57:12.860 his boots on and with the microphone in his hand, doing what he loved most to do.

00:57:16.540 And I want people to understand Charlie loved this like format, this moment with these students.

00:57:24.320 He learned so much.

00:57:26.000 He would always say that I learned so much.

00:57:28.080 He loved it.

00:57:29.540 He, and, and he died doing what he loved.

00:57:32.600 And I know that because I saw it firsthand.

00:57:34.560 I was, I was the voice in his ear going like, maybe we shouldn't try.

00:57:38.020 No, he's like, I love this.

00:57:39.240 You don't understand.

00:57:40.720 He's not throwing the ball caps and engaging all of it.

00:57:43.560 He loved it.

00:57:44.260 Tyler, your closing thoughts and observations, sir.

00:57:51.420 What Andrew just said is exactly right.

00:57:53.420 This, this was the work the man loved.

00:57:55.940 There is nothing that was going to stop Charlie Kirk from doing the work that he loved to

00:58:00.520 do, doing the work that was very directly what was needed to be done to, to put this

00:58:07.240 country on the right track.

00:58:08.760 That debt of, of gratitude that we all have that have been around Charlie, that have worked

00:58:14.440 with Charlie in, in the trenches that have been in the battles.

00:58:19.260 I mean, we've seen, I've been with Charlie.

00:58:22.240 We've, we've seen it.

00:58:23.340 We've told these stories before where we've been attacked by Antifa, uh, in, in places

00:58:29.620 we've been, uh, you know, spit on and, and hit and stuff has been thrown at us.

00:58:36.180 We've seen it all from early days to, to where we are today.

00:58:39.960 And he's just become more loved.

00:58:43.280 And as we know, as he's become more loved is that there's the, the, the crazy people

00:58:48.320 and the, the radicals that, that are very uncomfortable with how that popularity is,

00:58:55.600 has ascended.

00:58:56.200 And again, the best thing that we can do is teach others to fearlessly do the work, the

00:59:03.300 brave work that has to be done in order for this country to survive, for the constitutional

00:59:08.780 republic to be defended.

00:59:11.500 Uh, there was no, there was no pathway for a Trump revival without Charlie Kirk.

00:59:17.360 There was no pathway for a Trump revival without, uh, all of the energy that you see in these

00:59:26.600 images of particularly young men, but young people in general coming around, turning around,

00:59:34.300 uh, that, that pride that Charlie had, that we had shifted in many of these States, well

00:59:41.920 more than double digits to the right young people.

00:59:45.440 I mean, in some of these places we're talking 30, 40 points that we shift to, this is generational

00:59:50.500 change that will never stop or be forgotten.

00:59:54.620 And so that's the best way we can honor Charlie's to honor, respect his work, how he went about

01:00:00.020 his work and then do our best to do bits and pieces of it to, to replicate it.

01:00:06.660 And I know that that's what all of our people are thinking about today, uh, as we wake up and

01:00:11.780 we think about Charlie and his legacy.

01:00:14.360 Uh, and I know Steve, I just want to say this.

01:00:16.440 I know he, how much he loved and adored you, um, as a, as a guy that was in the foxhole with

01:00:23.660 him constantly.

01:00:24.660 And, and, you know, we talked about that loyalty that was, that was felt both ways with you.

01:00:29.540 And, and, and I know, I just want to say on behalf of the entire turning point family and

01:00:34.340 for, for myself is I can't thank you enough for being that great friend to Charlie through

01:00:40.000 the thick and thin, because that's what, that's what enabled Charlie to become Charlie and to

01:00:46.140 do the work that he did.

01:00:47.080 Um, I, uh, I echo that and I know, I know because I saw what he said about you behind

01:00:58.220 closed doors, Steve, how much he loved you.

01:01:00.120 And, uh, no, I mean that, um, he did, he really did cared about you a lot and respected

01:01:06.740 you a lot and, um, never said sideways word, you know?

01:01:11.840 And, um, I, uh, I just wanted to say one thing and I, I don't think it's worth giving

01:01:16.820 them, uh, the time of day, frankly.

01:01:19.480 Um, but you see, I, I want, I just wanted to echo something.

01:01:24.080 I saw Matt Walsh actually write online because there's, there's people celebrating this and

01:01:29.880 I think it's really disgusting and they don't really deserve the time of day, but Matt had

01:01:34.500 a great take and that he's like, you know, when I die, I hope my enemies are, uh, are

01:01:41.820 happy because that meant that like I was effective and they knew it.

01:01:45.580 And so Charlie was fighting against ideological enemies against this country, against God,

01:01:51.960 against goodness, against righteousness.

01:01:54.180 And I will say this, what is sown in righteousness will bear righteous fruit.

01:01:59.080 And Charlie, and you're hearing it from two guys and three guys really that knew him intimately

01:02:04.620 and well, and saw him day in and day out, saw him in the tough moments where the chips

01:02:09.920 were down, he was fundamentally good and he was decent and he was kind and he loved God

01:02:17.060 and he was anchored and he honored his friends.

01:02:21.300 And what, what he did behind closed doors is the same thing he did with his friends, whether

01:02:26.540 it be, you know, Tucker Carlson or Megan Kelly or Steve Bannon or some, you know, kid that

01:02:33.480 he randomly met at some chapter.

01:02:34.880 It was who he was and he was the exact same person.

01:02:38.460 He lived his values out.

01:02:39.800 And that's why I say what is sown in righteousness will bear, bear righteous fruit.

01:02:43.880 You cannot, you cannot snuff out what is sown in righteousness.

01:02:48.980 And, um, I truly believe that.

01:02:52.080 And, um, anybody in the, that can hear the sound of my voice, like take faith because like

01:02:59.580 God is our refuge.

01:03:00.680 God is, was Charlie's strength.

01:03:02.600 Charlie is with God right now.

01:03:04.000 He is with Jesus.

01:03:05.400 And I believe that with all my heart.

01:03:07.320 I've gotten like some, these pastors and prophetic voices calling me saying that the craziest things

01:03:13.100 happened right, right when, uh, Charlie's life was taken from us.

01:03:17.240 And I believe it that, um, that God is going to bring about his vision and his goodness, um,

01:03:24.800 and his plan from this terrible tragedy.

01:03:27.080 And I believe it with all my heart and I last thing, Steve, Charlie was not a revolutionary.

01:03:33.780 It's funny because I helped him with this book, the right wing revolution.

01:03:39.380 And that was, that was actually a counter revolutionary book.

01:03:43.780 It, it was like, Hey, we love peace and we love our country.

01:03:47.080 We love America.

01:03:47.720 We don't want to see, um, we don't want to see blood in the streets.

01:03:51.200 We don't want to see, uh, violence.

01:03:53.780 And I just want to say that for all, I love the righteous anger that I'm seeing from our

01:03:58.860 friends.

01:03:59.200 Don't get me wrong.

01:03:59.820 I love it.

01:04:00.220 And I share it.

01:04:01.260 And I want whoever did this to be brought to justice swiftly and, uh, firmly.

01:04:07.100 But Charlie wants a country for his kids to thrive in and grow in.

01:04:11.620 And I would just say, um, it's okay to be radicalized.

01:04:16.720 It's not okay for that to go in the wrong direction.

01:04:20.100 Remember what Charlie would want.

01:04:21.300 He, he loved our founders.

01:04:22.540 He loved this country.

01:04:23.860 Um, please, um, direct what you're feeling towards saving America, not ripping it apart.

01:04:30.980 Well, let's do that because Charlie, it's, it's on your shoulders and the team at turning

01:04:35.260 point to finish what he started.

01:04:37.260 So what's the, uh, what's your social media?

01:04:40.940 Um, uh, Twitter is, uh, X, it's, uh, Andrew K say, um, uh, I'm mostly there as an attack

01:04:48.240 dog for Charlie.

01:04:49.040 Um, but I did leave a note, um, as best I could yesterday, moments after what happened.

01:04:53.940 Um, and, um, we're gonna, we're gonna probably be doing the show after you today with, with Jack

01:05:00.880 because he's going to be guest hosting.

01:05:02.700 I'll probably chime in a bit.

01:05:04.080 And, um, uh, we're gonna, I know Jack's got a whole plan and, um, and, uh, turning point

01:05:10.100 USA and you guys like we always toss Tyler, uh, closing thoughts and where do people track

01:05:16.860 you guys?

01:05:17.260 Cause now it's upon the team at turning point.

01:05:19.520 Like I said, to finish, uh, to finish what Charlie started.

01:05:25.180 Yeah.

01:05:25.580 Uh, uh, Steve, the best way, just like Andrew said, the best way to get involved is, is the

01:05:32.240 spirit of Charlie Kirk, which is not the, the, you know, misdirected animosity and anger way.

01:05:41.040 It's the way that Charlie built.

01:05:42.740 I mean, the, the beautiful part about what Charlie did that's different from everyone

01:05:45.940 else.

01:05:46.300 And I just had this conversation with others is we've had legends pass who have done so

01:05:51.200 much good for this, this world, uh, guys like Rush Limbaugh and so many others that we've

01:05:57.320 seen in the, in the past.

01:05:58.640 The difference is that Charlie built something and led the way of this is what you do in order

01:06:04.960 to help save the country in the way that Charlie would save it.

01:06:08.160 All the programs that we do through turning point USA high school college and our faith

01:06:13.940 turning, uh, TPUSA faith, uh, getting involved with that or, you know, beyond that into politics

01:06:21.220 and the elections is winning elections, winning the argument, winning the debate within the

01:06:26.400 public space.

01:06:27.020 That's what Charlie did.

01:06:28.800 That's his entire legacy.

01:06:30.220 That's his entire life is get involved, become part of something in your community.

01:06:35.420 Don't stand by and become so cynical that you don't think this thing, these things can

01:06:40.120 change the cynics all sat along the sidelines and said that Trump could never win again.

01:06:45.800 And we knew better than that.

01:06:47.580 We knew that if we could get everybody involved, Charlie knew that if we could get everybody

01:06:51.820 involved doing these things, that they could win.

01:06:54.480 So getting involved at, at turning point action, we would welcome everybody with open arms.

01:06:59.500 We have swinging States to win.

01:07:01.180 And we have places to establish so that, uh, Charlie's kids and our kids can all, uh, live

01:07:08.240 in the, in the America that the, the constitutional Republic that we once knew, we, we know can

01:07:14.700 be, uh, that we know that the, the left is the radical left is working against.

01:07:20.000 And so getting involved at TP action.com, uh, just click the links to get involved.

01:07:26.180 That we would love nothing more of them for millions of Americans to, to march to the beat

01:07:31.680 of Charlie's drum for the rest of their lives.

01:07:33.600 Uh, that's, that's the way.

01:07:35.920 So thank you, Steve.

01:07:38.760 Amen.

01:07:39.160 Uh, we will toss you guys at, at noon, Tyler, Tyler Boyer, uh, TP, uh, turning point action.

01:07:45.580 And of course, Andrew Colvette, the, uh, kind of the attack dog a little bit, the, the, the,

01:07:51.260 the, the executive producer of the show and, uh, spokesman for turning point.

01:07:56.500 That's good.

01:07:56.860 That was my, that was my, my fun job, two of the toughest, my fun job, two of the toughest

01:08:00.060 hombres I've ever met.

01:08:01.240 And, uh, uh, Charlie left this in good hands.

01:08:05.260 Let's take a short commercial break.

01:08:06.840 We could take a floating break and, um, let you guys regroup and we'll see you back here.

01:08:11.200 We'll see you at noon, uh, with Jack Posobiec.

01:08:13.460 Okay, fine.

01:08:16.100 That's good.

01:08:17.980 Uh, no, I tell you what I want to do.

01:08:19.540 Let's play.

01:08:19.960 I want to play that to some of the great clips we've got at Charlie Kirk.

01:08:22.660 I got that great spiritual clip.

01:08:24.000 Just tell me when that's ready.

01:08:53.460 Okay.

01:08:53.860 Okay, let's, we're ready to go.

01:08:58.360 Ready to roll.

01:08:58.940 Let's see.

01:08:59.160 Let's go ahead.

01:08:59.620 We got, we got Charlie Kirk last weekend of his life.

01:09:03.220 What did Charlie Kirk do?

01:09:04.200 Charlie Kirk went to Korea to spread the, uh, to spread the gospel of conservatism and also

01:09:09.560 our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, uh, the great Mina Kim.

01:09:12.340 Let's go ahead and see it.

01:09:13.160 We're going to do a Korean way of prayer for you.

01:09:19.600 It's called a, uh, praying out loud pray.

01:09:22.420 Um, we would want to do that to you and bless you today.

01:09:24.900 Let's pray.

01:09:25.220 Let's pray.

01:09:25.560 Let's pray.

01:09:55.560 Heavenly Father, thank you for sending your warrior to Korea.

01:10:05.940 I lift up Charlie, the leader you've raised up in America to wake up next generation.

01:10:11.440 May he remember Korea in every step he takes and may you protect him, Lord, and be with

01:10:17.600 him so that he may fully carry out the mission you have entrusted to him.

01:10:21.440 And Lord, I thank you for making this gathering possible.

01:10:24.280 And I give all the glory to you, Lord.

01:10:26.820 I pray all this name in the name of Jesus.

01:10:29.480 Yes, we pray in the name of Jesus.

01:10:31.280 Amen.

01:10:31.840 And I can just tell you with the outpouring of all the letters and the notes, and I've

01:10:49.640 been showing you here that my team is sending me from all the vigils that these pictures

01:10:54.440 of these notes and there's handwritten notes with tears, stains on them.

01:10:58.900 And, um, you know, they keep saying like, you led me back to faith in God.

01:11:04.880 You led me back.

01:11:05.880 You restored my faith.

01:11:07.360 And, um, Charlie wanted to be remembered for his faith.

01:11:10.900 And so I'm just so proud of that.

01:11:13.020 And Steve, with your permission, I wanted to, I wanted to read, um, something that's going

01:11:17.480 to be going up on our, uh, Turning Point socials very soon.

01:11:22.320 Um, and our team put their heads together and wrote this and says, and you're going to

01:11:27.040 see this on the website soon, but I figured I'd give it to you here first, Steve.

01:11:30.040 Um, every one of us at Turning Point is crushed and devastated by the hateful murder of our

01:11:37.980 founder and guiding light, Charlie Kirk.

01:11:40.300 All of us have lost a leader, a mentor, and a friend.

01:11:44.820 Above all, our hearts are with Erica and their two children.

01:11:48.940 Charlie was the ideal husband and the perfect father.

01:11:52.680 Above all else, we ask you to pray for the Kirks after the incomprehensible loss that they

01:11:57.960 have suffered.

01:11:58.440 More than anyone, Charlie believed in the power of argument and good faith debate to

01:12:03.500 find the truth and guide people towards, if not agreement, at least mutual understanding.

01:12:09.100 Charlie was no stranger to threats.

01:12:10.920 He received hundreds throughout his life.

01:12:13.260 Really, it was almost daily.

01:12:15.940 Um, but he will always, he always prioritized reaching as many young Americans as possible

01:12:21.680 over his own personal safety.

01:12:23.840 Now, Charlie has become America's greatest martyr to the freedom of speech.

01:12:28.120 In his 31 years, Charlie lived more than any of us will live in a hundred.

01:12:34.260 He had an overwhelming passion for life and a deep belief in his power as an individual

01:12:38.760 to make a difference.

01:12:40.320 With the spirit of a pioneer, Charlie launched Turning Point out of his parents' garage as

01:12:44.440 an 18-year-old with no money, no name recognition, and only a dream.

01:12:48.280 His energy and drive were awe-inspiring, without equal, and deeply infectious.

01:12:54.180 Charlie refused to squander a single day of his life.

01:12:57.500 That's so true.

01:12:59.400 He was a natural builder and problem solver who loved to challenge and saw every setback

01:13:04.620 as a chance to learn, grow, pray, and try again.

01:13:07.060 He was fundamentally decent, always eager to make new friends and allies, and to support

01:13:12.780 and defend the ones he already had made.

01:13:14.660 His values were timeless American ones.

01:13:17.320 Honesty, forthrightness, duty, loyalty, and fair play.

01:13:21.740 And I'm almost done.

01:13:24.580 Charlie loved America.

01:13:27.200 Its people, its constitution, its freedom, and the limitless good of all of them have done

01:13:34.640 for the entire world.

01:13:36.160 But above all, Charlie lived every day with an overflowing love of the Christ he knew

01:13:41.300 he would one day get to see.

01:13:43.680 When asked, Charlie said that above all, he wished to be remembered for his faith.

01:13:47.980 Far more than any political victory, Charlie wanted to see a spiritual revival among America's

01:13:53.240 youth.

01:13:53.980 He wanted a nation of happy, thriving families who loved God and each other.

01:13:59.260 And at his final public speech, just days before his murder, Charlie witnessed to

01:14:04.480 Jesus Christ, to an audience of non-believers.

01:14:07.880 Even in his very last moments, Charlie was professing the gospel.

01:14:12.200 He ran his race well all the way to the end.

01:14:15.640 Now he goes to his heavenly reward.

01:14:18.360 Although Charlie is gone, his legacy will endure.

01:14:21.800 He shall not grow old.

01:14:30.820 Age shall not weary him.

01:14:34.480 For all time, he will remain the brave young man who inspired tens of millions of Americans

01:14:43.220 to better themselves and take action to better America.

01:14:48.320 All of us will miss Charlie.

01:14:50.000 None of us will ever forget him.

01:14:51.480 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the block of emerging

01:15:06.420 superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing 0.95

01:15:13.200 the United States dollar as the global currency.

01:15:15.820 They're calling this the Rio Reset.

01:15:19.500 As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, 0.57

01:15:24.420 bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.

01:15:27.660 While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.

01:15:34.080 The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical

01:15:40.740 possibility towards an inevitable reality.

01:18:58.100 The battle is coming to the West.

01:19:00.740 And the enemies are, wokeism or Marxism, combining with Islamism, 0.97

01:19:04.800 to go after what we call the American way of life.

01:19:07.660 And the American way of life is very simple.

01:19:10.420 I want to be able to get married, buy a home, have kids, allow them to ride their bike till

01:19:15.940 the sun goes down, send them to a good school, have a low-crime neighborhood, not to have 1.00

01:19:21.460 my kid be taught the lesbian, gay, transgender garbage in their school. 1.00

01:19:26.280 While also, while also not having them have to hear the Muslim call to prayer five times a day. 1.00

01:19:37.620 That's important.

01:19:40.220 We want the American way of life, which is, by the way, Christendom. 0.78

01:19:44.880 Christians, our sacrifice, our toil, our vision, the outgrowth of the scriptures gave us Western

01:19:52.500 civilization.

01:19:53.760 And this is where I think is a great rallying cry.

01:19:56.040 Doesn't matter if you're Hispanic, doesn't matter if you're Asian, doesn't matter if you're 1.00

01:19:59.420 black or white.

01:20:00.520 Everybody, if you are Christian and Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, these two threats 1.00

01:20:05.380 are combining forces to come after us.

01:20:08.220 And it's time that the church stands and rises up against it.

01:20:13.500 Stands and rises up.

01:20:14.940 Dave Bratt, you're my resident philosopher, theologian, Charlie Kirk, his place in American

01:20:21.880 history and the warning that he left us with, sir.

01:20:27.560 Yeah, without exaggeration, I think yesterday is going to be up there with JFK, Martin Luther

01:20:34.280 King Jr., et cetera.

01:20:36.060 Charlie, what you just heard him say, right?

01:20:38.640 He said, and I just want this all to be about Charlie Kirk.

01:20:41.340 I'll just say our Liberty students got together and praised God for the work of Charlie Kirk

01:20:47.240 and Turning Point and every university on his campus.

01:20:50.240 You know, you kids keep moving.

01:20:52.380 Keep moving.

01:20:52.860 You're doing great.

01:20:53.980 Just keep it moving.

01:20:54.920 But Charlie, you know, everything we've heard today, he said, for me, what's your number

01:20:59.380 one?

01:20:59.700 Everyone's asking him, what's your number one, Charlie?

01:21:01.460 He says, my number one is courage for my faith.

01:21:04.520 Courage for my faith.

01:21:06.860 That's his enduring message to all of us.

01:21:09.840 And then secondly, people ask, what's your calling?

01:21:11.800 Charlie, what's your calling, right, in the Christian faith?

01:21:14.940 You believe God, you know, calls you to certain purposes.

01:21:17.680 He said, my calling.

01:21:18.840 Other people have different callings.

01:21:20.380 But my call is to fight evil and to proclaim the truth.

01:21:25.080 And boy, you just heard it, man.

01:21:26.480 When he picks his people, Andrew and Tyler, I get to see these guys once in a while with

01:21:31.540 you, Steve, and when you see the people he picks, right, the humility and the strong faith

01:21:36.760 and the encouragement they give to the family.

01:21:40.840 And so I just want to read it again.

01:21:41.820 My call, this is Charlie Kirk, and I hope you will all join Charlie in his call, in his

01:21:47.220 calling, is to fight evil and to proclaim the truth.

01:21:51.960 And then where does he do that?

01:21:53.520 He goes on to the American University campus.

01:21:56.940 And so the next key for Charlie is education.

01:22:01.200 And we have not been doing a good job across the country.

01:22:04.040 You see the university is out of control.

01:22:06.000 But hang on.

01:22:06.760 He goes to the very place that used to be the foundation for truth that has in modern

01:22:15.480 America, right, throughout the Judeo-Christian West, but particularly in modern America, have

01:22:21.780 become a nest of propaganda, of anti-detendants of the Judeo-Christian West, of the most virulent

01:22:30.640 hatred of Christendom, right?

01:22:33.040 That's what Charlie Kirk, he walked towards the fire.

01:22:36.000 And this is why the guy said, with all the threats against him, he wasn't going to back

01:22:40.180 off because that's what he did, right?

01:22:42.740 That's who he was.

01:22:43.780 His proclamation of the truth was to young people.

01:22:47.220 His genius was understanding that young men particularly yearned for that, sir.

01:22:55.080 Yeah, no, that's right.

01:22:56.140 And what's his chief message you just heard?

01:22:59.200 It's there is a truth.

01:23:01.000 The truth is to be found in God, in Jesus Christ, in Christendom.

01:23:05.300 He just said that 30 seconds ago.

01:23:07.060 That's his truth.

01:23:08.460 And so the truth of the last 50 years in higher education has been called openness,

01:23:12.680 right?

01:23:12.800 We're open to anything, moral relativism, and on 9-11, right, it all ties in together.

01:23:19.260 No, we are not open to everything.

01:23:21.640 And you don't want to say you're closed-minded, but we are closed off, and we need to close

01:23:26.600 off to the list he just said, to this idea of men as women, our kids in shared bathrooms,

01:23:33.260 the faith.

01:23:33.980 And then the key to this all, right, if you really want to get at it, this openness, the

01:23:38.520 Christians have been weak, and the Christian church has been weak. 0.93

01:23:41.620 These young men, including Charlie, are better than most of the pastors out there in the

01:23:46.280 churches.

01:23:47.100 And so the churches, I hope they take up Charlie's mission here as well.

01:23:52.180 But what he's teaching us is to follow the truth of a certain tradition, and that not

01:23:59.060 everything is open.

01:24:00.660 And the key to this is, what is going on in our K-12 education system?

01:24:05.140 We're not allowed to mention God.

01:24:06.920 He had another clip on morality, I want to share.

01:24:09.280 The teachers make it very clear there's morality, right?

01:24:11.680 They're giving you all sorts of lectures on their morality.

01:24:14.440 The only morality that's not allowed is the majority morality of the Christian West. 0.90

01:24:20.340 That's the only one you cannot teach, right?

01:24:23.400 And just so folks know, when Charlie's educating boys, he's good.

01:24:27.500 And Aristotle and the Christian founders, et cetera.

01:24:31.240 And human rights language, rights to life, which was just cut short for Charlie, life,

01:24:38.300 liberty, and the pursuit of happiness all come out of only the Judeo-Christian West. 0.92

01:24:43.380 In about the 1200s out of the Catholic Church, rights language uniquely and solely come out

01:24:50.000 of that.

01:24:50.380 Now, the minority is pushing their rights. 0.95

01:24:54.400 Our kids have to go into bathrooms, and men are women. 1.00

01:24:57.020 A minority handful, 0.1% of people are dominating the majority because the majority has become

01:25:03.720 so weak.

01:25:04.900 The founders never intended that.

01:25:06.600 We want to protect minority rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

01:25:11.520 But they don't get to dictate the will of the country.

01:25:14.440 And so I think, Charlie, and the churches and the schools, everyone, we need to demand that

01:25:20.240 the Christian message be taught in K-12 and in higher education, in the curriculum, and

01:25:26.220 it's an embarrassment for it not to happen, right?

01:25:28.920 Other traditions have not produced human rights language.

01:25:33.140 Islam, God is so totally sovereign, and your obedience so dictated, they have not developed 1.00

01:25:39.960 a human rights tradition.

01:25:42.140 I can go across the others with billions of folks, right?

01:25:44.960 And most of the people in the world are religious.

01:25:46.620 There's huge wisdom we can glean and we can debate, but the greatness of the United States

01:25:52.340 of America comes solely out of that Judeo-Christian tradition.

01:25:56.160 The kids are not taught this.

01:25:57.440 The left wants to deny that.

01:25:59.900 And they took Charlie's life yesterday.

01:26:02.000 It was a gut punch.

01:26:04.060 I've never felt like that.

01:26:06.020 I've seen tough stuff.

01:26:07.560 I hang around with Stephen K. Bannon.

01:26:10.200 President Trump's been shot twice, but my gut was sick yesterday.

01:26:14.320 And my wife is so upset, and all of our friends at Liberty University, and the kids are out

01:26:20.880 celebrating and praising God for that gift.

01:26:24.300 But now the next step is to fight the fight, right?

01:26:27.760 His killer needs to be found.

01:26:30.280 This leftist assault on the universities.

01:26:32.400 We're paying for this, right?

01:26:34.420 I didn't get to that little point.

01:26:36.600 We are being made to pay for K-12 education that won't teach about God.

01:26:41.880 That's where my liberty go, right?

01:26:44.460 Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

01:26:46.260 You're encroaching upon my liberty.

01:26:48.820 I'm having to fund your atheism at universities, et cetera.

01:26:53.300 Yeah.

01:26:54.600 Yeah.

01:26:54.980 Hang on one second.

01:26:56.160 I want to play the clip from Liberty.

01:26:58.700 We're producing as we're going on.

01:27:00.040 And I want to follow that if we can, if we have time, about Charlie talking about doing

01:27:04.500 this at the universities.

01:27:05.600 If not, I'll do it after the break.

01:27:06.560 Let's play the Liberty clip first.

01:27:08.020 Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.

01:27:29.020 I once was lost, but now my thought was blind, but now I see.

01:27:53.020 Incredible.

01:27:53.900 Very powerful.

01:27:54.520 That's yesterday.

01:27:55.320 Spontaneous.

01:27:56.000 And you saw this throughout the country and the world.

01:27:59.740 Spontaneous.

01:28:00.940 And how many people, how many young men would, had done something, accomplished something.

01:28:07.400 That spontaneous throughout the world, these demonstrations of sorrow, but also reinforcing

01:28:16.640 the fact that Charlie Kirk's work would go on.

01:28:19.720 I tell you, Dave, hang on.

01:28:20.780 And we have another clip of Charlie talking about the college campuses and doing what he

01:28:25.400 does, which as Andrew Colvitt said it best, he died with his boots on yesterday.

01:28:31.280 Let's go ahead and play this.

01:28:33.360 I go around universities and have challenging conversations because that's what is so important

01:28:40.240 to our country is to our country is to find our disagreements respectfully, because when people

01:28:45.400 stop talking, that's when violence happens.

01:28:47.360 I've never seen someone do this.

01:28:48.700 Well, it's a growing trend because people like me are facing violence, assaults.

01:28:54.040 The left.

01:28:55.100 The left.

01:28:55.560 Yes.

01:28:56.140 The campus Antifa.

01:28:57.500 I've been stormed out of restaurants.

01:28:59.280 I've been assaulted publicly.

01:29:00.620 Multiple death threats.

01:29:01.800 Okay.

01:29:02.020 So what's your goal in this?

01:29:03.480 There's more people that agree with me than some people would actually believe, and they

01:29:08.300 come out of the woodwork when I do stuff like this.

01:29:10.060 We record all of it so that we put it on the internet so people can see these ideas collide.

01:29:14.380 When people stop talking, that's when you get violence.

01:29:16.960 That's when civil war happens, because you start to think the other side is so evil and

01:29:20.480 they lose their humanity.

01:29:23.360 Okay.

01:29:23.860 Charlie Kirk, tell us what he did.

01:29:26.840 Dave Bratt, tell me about Charlie Kirk.

01:29:29.740 I've got about a minute here before we go to break.

01:29:31.540 Like, particularly the fact that Charlie Kirk focused on young men.

01:29:35.320 He knew the young men had a very deep spiritual yearning in this country.

01:29:39.260 Your thoughts, sir?

01:29:41.500 You know, he didn't.

01:29:42.420 You just heard it right there.

01:29:44.020 You know, and his education to the young men is to give them a sense of strength.

01:29:48.700 We share in the Judeo-Christian West, the Christian religion, and he shared that.

01:29:54.340 He shared Jesus Christ more than most pastors do.

01:29:56.920 It's just stunning.

01:29:58.500 And he asks and gives all the right answers.

01:30:00.980 If the left does not have a morality, in case folks don't know, there's no such thing

01:30:05.320 as ethics, right?

01:30:06.640 There's all sorts of systems of ethics.

01:30:08.260 There are Christian ethics, Kantian ethics, Aristotle.

01:30:10.780 Charlie knew them all.

01:30:12.120 But there's only one that's huge that produces human rights.

01:30:15.640 And we're not allowed to teach it in the United States of America when all the founders,

01:30:20.260 all the original 13 colonies, you had to be a Christian to serve in government. 0.90

01:30:24.060 And Charlie taught all that.

01:30:26.480 All the founders of all the universities from Harvard, Yale, Princeton were all Christian.

01:30:30.180 All the presidents, all the board of trustees.

01:30:32.600 Harvard's motto was truth for Christ and church.

01:30:35.600 Now they're not even for truth.

01:30:37.380 They're not even veritas.

01:30:38.940 And Charlie knew it all.

01:30:40.400 And we need to turn it upside down, right?

01:30:42.380 Whoever's paying for this stuff, quit paying and start subsidizing Turning Point.

01:30:47.720 Dave, hang on for a second.

01:30:50.500 We're going to take a short commercial break.

01:30:51.940 We're going to return.

01:30:53.020 Dave Bratz with us.

01:30:54.160 And hopefully Jack Posobiec.

01:30:55.400 My name is Robert Bowles, and I am the special agent in charge of the Salt Lake Field Office.

01:31:04.960 Following yesterday's tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk, FBI agents have been working around the clock

01:31:10.720 in coordination with our law enforcement partners.

01:31:15.420 We are and will continue to work nonstop until we find the person that has committed this heinous crime

01:31:22.680 and find out why they did it.

01:31:25.400 This morning, I can tell you that we have recovered what we believe is the weapon that was used in yesterday's shooting.

01:31:32.500 It is a high-powered bolt-action rifle.

01:31:36.200 That rifle was recovered in a wooded area where the shooter had fled.

01:31:42.180 So the FBI laboratory will be analyzing this weapon.

01:31:46.160 Investigators have also collected footwear impression, a palm print, and forearm imprints for analysis.

01:31:52.780 Now, I understand there are a lot of questions about motive.

01:31:58.960 I assure you that all leads, tips, and tips are being fully investigated.

01:32:03.840 As of this morning, we have received more than 130 tips.

01:32:08.160 We thank the community for that.

01:32:09.300 Okay.

01:32:12.700 Stunning.

01:32:13.720 Wall Street Journal has just come out.

01:32:15.720 Jack Posobiec.

01:32:16.440 And Jack Posobiec joins us now.

01:32:17.840 Jack Posobiec will be anchoring the noon show as we toss the Charlie Kirk show.

01:32:23.620 Also, Tyler and Andrew, our guests for the first hour, will be there also.

01:32:27.320 Headline of the Wall Street Journal, ammunition and Kirk shooting engraved with transgender, anti-fascist ideology. 0.66

01:32:36.340 Investigators found ammunition engraved with expressions of transgender and anti-fascist ideology inside the rifle that authorities believe was used in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk,

01:32:45.560 according to an internal law enforcement bulletin in a person familiar with the investigation.

01:32:49.740 Jack Posobiec, your thoughts about where we are in this investigation to find the assassin of Charlie Kirk.

01:32:58.900 Well, Steve, I think like you and so many others in America today, last night we didn't get a lot of sleep.

01:33:07.760 And so I've been up all night on the phone with people who are close to Charlie, people who are out there in Salt Lake.

01:33:15.140 I'm trying to hold it down here at least in front of the media side for the time being until I can get there.

01:33:21.200 I plan to be there soon, at least out west.

01:33:23.200 Look, one of the very first things that I said in in the aftermath of this, after the multiple false starts with capturing this suspect,

01:33:35.480 I said, you know, it wouldn't surprise me if this was somebody who could blend in with a college population and possibly with someone who was younger, college age.

01:33:46.860 This would be in line with Luigi Maggioni, which we've been talking about.

01:33:50.700 This would be in line with Thomas Matthew Crooks.

01:33:52.720 This would be in line with a string of trans shooters, the shooter Westman up at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis.

01:33:59.780 So it fits a trend and a profile that we have seen and tracked for quite some time now over just the past year, year plus of these Gen Z types with a pro trans, anti-Christian, anti-conservative, anti-conservative mindset and ideology.

01:34:18.560 And also it fits with the age profile.

01:34:20.400 In fact, that area, Provo, Utah and Salt Lake City area is known to have a socialist rifle club that I've done reporting on in the past.

01:34:29.880 And so obviously there's a lot of connections there that we'd want to look into and a lot of questions about how exactly someone and what we're told is that this was an old style.

01:34:41.280 Some of the reports that are coming out in old style carbine and old style hunting rifle that is not collapsible.

01:34:48.680 So the question is, how is somebody able to get out of the crowd while carrying something like that?

01:34:54.480 At first, I thought perhaps they had a collapsible rifle, would be able to put a fit into a backpack or something like that.

01:34:59.560 So a lot of questions as to how this person was able to exfiltrate from the situation and, of course, clearly, clearly well planned in advance.

01:35:10.580 Access to the roofs.

01:35:11.980 I mean, these universities, they have to have key cards to get in buildings.

01:35:15.360 You have to have key cards, then additional key cards to get on top of roof.

01:35:18.680 People just don't have access to so many questions.

01:35:21.680 I know that the investigators are working on it.

01:35:24.460 But, you know, we have to face reality here.

01:35:27.840 Charlie Kirk was executed yesterday in front of the world doing what he does best.

01:35:33.060 And this was a good and decent man besides being one of the greatest leaders this country has ever produced.

01:35:38.200 Like I said, you have to go back to the revolutionary generation to see a young man that changed the arc of the country.

01:35:45.740 And I'm not talking about people in the Civil War and World War II that fought and died in combat and are among the greatest heroes we've ever had.

01:35:53.980 But somebody actually on a political basis at his age did something so profound.

01:35:59.060 And so who assassinated him, why they did it, and how they did it are of incredible import in this moment in the nation's political history, Jack Posobiec.

01:36:13.760 And I just want people to know we're going to wrap the show up here in a while.

01:36:16.600 And this is why I asked Tyler and Andrew, who, by the way, were magnificent.

01:36:22.820 It was exactly the way I wanted this show to go, to have real insights from people that were near him.

01:36:27.400 And I'm so honored to be tossed into Jack Posobiec when our show was over this morning.

01:36:31.580 The threats that you have, the threats that Charlie has, you know, I have threats too, but it's not at the level you guys are very different.

01:36:41.620 You have threats because Antifa, you guys are out there at the tip of the tip of the spear in the moment, in these crowds, particularly college-age crowds and younger crowds.

01:36:50.920 And people do not understand the courage it takes for a Charlie Kirk to do that every day, the courage it takes for Jack Posobiec to do it, the courage it takes for these other people that engage what are evil people.

01:37:05.960 They're just evil people.

01:37:07.140 They're not good people. 0.92

01:37:08.260 And they put threats on our people and they try to disrupt.

01:37:11.400 And yet you guys go out time and time and time again really in harm's way, sir.

01:37:16.660 Well, well, Steve, I mean, that's, that's true, but at the same time, it's, you know, when people to the world, Charlie Kirk, he's, he's a hero.

01:37:28.140 He's the conservative firebrand, but, you know, to many of us, he's, he's our brother, he's our friend.

01:37:37.000 And he's somebody whose leadership we have all looked to so many times in the foxhole, fight after fight.

01:37:47.160 And, you know, they talk about groups of men getting things done.

01:37:50.360 And I just wanted to, you know, Steve, you and I mentioned this yesterday on the show.

01:37:53.860 And I pulled up the numbers here for this.

01:37:56.220 In 1776, the age of the founding fathers, because people are saying Charlie Kirk, he's 31.

01:38:02.500 He's so young.

01:38:03.080 He's so young.

01:38:03.640 And of course he was.

01:38:07.000 And he was taken from us way too soon.

01:38:09.320 But listen to this, the age of the founding fathers in 1776, Thomas Jefferson, 33, James Madison, 25, Alexander Hamilton, 21, James Monroe, 18.

01:38:23.080 And then Edward Rutledge, 26, Thomas Lynch, 26.

01:38:27.140 And then you've got Adams was 40, Washington, 44.

01:38:30.640 And of course, Benjamin Franklin, the old, the old man was, was 70.

01:38:34.780 Steve, I don't know if you know anyone who would fit the bill for that.

01:38:37.120 What are the young charges?

01:38:41.500 No, the revolutionary generation was extraordinarily young.

01:38:45.300 And Charlie Kirk has done something that has not been done really since the revolutionary generation of a young person coming in and building an institution but having an impact and a plan.

01:38:55.300 And you're absolutely correct.

01:38:57.040 And people, you know, a lot of people are going to be coming on, oh, Charlie Kirk this, Charlie Kirk this, particularly some other networks.

01:39:03.180 In those years in the wilderness, in 21 and 22, when President Trump, we were regrouping.

01:39:10.520 If you hadn't had Turning Point, you hadn't had Charlie Kirk, you hadn't had the team that he had, we wouldn't be where we were today.

01:39:19.260 And as importantly, and what so impressed me was the lessons learned of the stealing of Carrie Lake's election for governor.

01:39:29.120 They took those lessons, Jack, as you know, and they rethought their model.

01:39:35.380 And they said, we got to do this in a different way, and my God, that they do it in a different way.

01:39:41.980 And that is one of the central reasons Trump won in 2024, sir.

01:39:47.120 But people have to remember, these are people that are constantly under threats, constantly under abuse, and they did not well.

01:39:56.140 The easiest thing in the world to do is for Charlie Kirk to go to Silicon Valley and become a billionaire.

01:40:01.340 Charlie Kirk had the personality, the brains, the ability to network, that kind of energy that draws people in.

01:40:08.700 You can build teams on, which is so important out there.

01:40:11.040 He didn't do that.

01:40:12.360 He didn't do that in any risk.

01:40:14.460 He could have had a safe life, been a billionaire, had all the material things because he had a yearning and a need to save his country.

01:40:22.820 And, Jack, you working with him every day, he knew the way to do that was through young men.

01:40:28.440 And that's the thing I keep telling people, he knew it was going to be, the path to turn this country around was through the young men.

01:40:35.180 And it's just what you guys have accomplished is nothing short of miraculous.

01:40:38.760 Look, when you look at what Charlie's done and the fights that I've had the honor of being with him and it's been the honor of my life to stand next to him and fight these fights and to see Charlie in all of them.

01:40:57.900 And every morning, you know, Steve, we don't usually talk about this, but me, you and Charlie have a text thread, a group text thread that's been going on for years, you know, at this point.

01:41:12.100 A long time.

01:41:12.400 And one of the very first things that Charlie will do every single morning when he wakes up, because we're East Coast time, he's West Coast time, he'll send us a Bible verse.

01:41:23.840 And it's, you know, it might be a Proverbs, might be one of the Psalms, whatever he's reading, might be something from Corinthians.

01:41:30.320 He loves Corinthians.

01:41:32.020 And he just does that.

01:41:34.140 He just, he finds it and then he sends it.

01:41:36.280 And the thing with Charlie, too, is that, you know, that when he would go to the Bible, which he would start every morning with, is he's not just going to some list and sending a verse off.

01:41:46.520 No, he's studying it.

01:41:48.360 He's understanding the verse, what it means, what the context is, what the context of the time was, the history, how it connects to Old Testament, how it connects to the greater history.

01:41:59.220 And that's something that, you know, Charlie wasn't doing that for, it wasn't a gimmick.

01:42:04.660 It wasn't a, it wasn't just showmanship.

01:42:06.900 This was something that Charlie actually lived every single day.

01:42:11.640 And that's why Charlie's not just an American martyr.

01:42:14.920 He is a Christian martyr.

01:42:17.160 Charlie's a Christian martyr who stood up for his faith and never backed down from an opportunity to tell, to give his testimony, to give his testimony for the gospel, to give his testimony to Christ.

01:42:30.520 And that is how we know that Charlie Kirk is, in fact, a Christian martyr as well, because he wove that into every single thing that he did in public and in private.

01:42:41.840 Jack, I'm going to let you go get ready for the show.

01:42:47.520 We're going to toss to you at noon.

01:42:49.340 Tyler and Andrew will be with you.

01:42:50.780 You've got a show planned, the Charlie Kirk show today.

01:42:54.640 We'll have a number of, I'll just say there's some big names that have been reaching out to come on today.

01:42:59.700 Some big names.

01:43:02.440 Fantastic.

01:43:02.840 So we look forward to that.

01:43:04.860 And Jack Posobiec got very little sleep last night.

01:43:07.800 So, Jack, thank you.

01:43:09.920 And we will continue our morning, I call it the morning vespers.

01:43:14.480 It was our editorial call done by text message.

01:43:18.520 Or every now and again, I'd have to call Posobiec.

01:43:21.120 But no, I'll miss that.

01:43:23.220 Charlie's verses and Charlie's take on the news every day early.

01:43:27.620 Kind of pre-dawn out in the West Coast and very early in the East Coast.

01:43:31.340 Jack Posobiec, Jack, give your social media.

01:43:34.680 I want to make sure everybody, particularly the large audience we have watching the show today, make sure how they track you.

01:43:42.920 Yeah, we're not posting a lot today.

01:43:46.420 Just sort of, we're not posting a lot today.

01:43:49.980 But if you can find, so go follow the Post Millennial, go follow humanevents.com.

01:43:55.400 I'll post things as it seems appropriate.

01:43:57.400 I'm told that Charlie Kirk's social media is going to be going dark for a period.

01:44:01.340 We're here as things all get sorted out.

01:44:04.460 But anything that goes up is absolutely going to be in memorial and in tribute to our fallen friend.

01:44:14.880 Jack Posobiec, honored to have you on here.

01:44:17.080 And I'll toss you in a few minutes. 0.95

01:44:18.660 Thank you, sir.

01:44:19.620 God bless.

01:44:20.000 Here on Real America's Voice, I want to thank Robin Parker-Sig for making, we got out here in the middle of the night, the wee hours of the morning, we were able to set up and do remote.

01:44:31.320 And we're going to try to actually move around today and maybe do it from another location if we can.

01:44:39.120 Don't know if that's possible logistically, but we'll try.

01:44:41.560 I want to thank the Real America's Voice team.

01:44:43.560 That was the channel and the network of War Room and the Charlie Kirk Show.

01:44:48.920 We're going to take a short commercial break.

01:44:50.240 We'll return in just a moment.

01:44:51.360 I talk to a lot of young people on campuses, at our events, on my radio show, podcast, and social media.

01:45:06.660 Said differently, I visit college campuses so you don't have to.

01:45:14.420 We're talking to so many voters that know it is time for change.

01:45:18.360 They know that something is wrong.

01:45:20.960 America's future is a series of choices.

01:45:24.580 Our current state of slow motion national decline is a choice.

01:45:33.020 Today is our two-year-old's birthday.

01:45:37.360 And I look at my daughter and that is my why.

01:45:41.340 For those that are parents, you know exactly what I mean.

01:45:43.500 There is no mountain that stands tall as your faithfulness

01:45:52.100 And there's nothing else I'll ever need

01:45:59.260 All of my days, your mercy follow me

01:46:08.400 If the people want it, the people get it.

01:46:10.960 And we, the people, take back America. 0.88

01:46:13.460 God bless Arizona.

01:46:14.640 And thank you so much.

01:46:20.680 Four, three, two, one.

01:46:24.640 The great Charlie Kirk right there, Real America's Voice, fantastic tribute.

01:46:29.900 There'll be many more of them.

01:46:31.240 But the most important thing, I think, for Charlie right now is to finish what he started.

01:46:38.260 This guy was a warrior and was assassinated.

01:46:41.760 Remember that.

01:46:42.940 Assassinated. 0.99

01:46:44.180 Executed.

01:46:44.700 The Wall Street Journal story, and I couldn't really get to it during the show.

01:46:48.460 And we'll get to it this afternoon, I promise.

01:46:50.440 It's explosive.

01:46:52.020 If Grace and Moe can push that story out now, everybody's got to read it.

01:46:55.360 Because this clearly came from people on the investigation.

01:46:59.240 Very, very, very explosive.

01:47:04.060 Dave Bratt, your summary thoughts.

01:47:06.780 We're going to pitch in a second to the Charlie Kirk show here on Real America's Voice.

01:47:10.980 Jack Posobiec sitting in with Tyler Boyer and Andrew Colvette today.

01:47:17.740 Your thoughts, sir?

01:47:20.200 Yeah, in summary, I think the guys that work with him said it best.

01:47:24.340 He's just a good man.

01:47:25.840 He's a good man.

01:47:27.260 Three things came out of the show today from Charlie.

01:47:30.860 God, freedom, and the United States of America.

01:47:33.800 Boy, he wants a revival of all three.

01:47:37.200 God, freedom, and the United States of America.

01:47:40.460 Our rights have been trounced.

01:47:41.900 President Trump, in his tribute the other day, said, in his prayer breakfast, said, the

01:47:49.100 United States is strong when religion's strong. 0.69

01:47:51.620 And religion's getting weak.

01:47:53.360 And the United States is becoming weak.

01:47:55.540 And that's been the show all day today.

01:47:57.560 And so the CIA, the FBI, they've been doing color revolutions on everyone in the world,

01:48:03.320 on the United States of America.

01:48:04.700 I want consequences now for this death.

01:48:07.900 And I don't want it to just be some patsy or whatever.

01:48:10.580 I want to go deep.

01:48:11.840 So I wish the CIA and our intelligence agencies and the FBI would do a deep dive on everything,

01:48:18.680 all this.

01:48:19.340 There's too many common denominators coming up.

01:48:22.020 And none of it is helping the American middle class, right?

01:48:25.760 So we've got great people to lead it.

01:48:28.460 Tulsi's awesome.

01:48:29.500 But the rest of them, I've got some questions.

01:48:31.320 So we want some consequences fast on all of it.

01:48:34.880 Yeah, yeah.

01:48:37.980 There'll be much more throughout the day that we'll push.

01:48:40.560 And we'll be back here at 5 o'clock.

01:48:41.880 Dave, Brad, social media before we let you go.

01:48:44.600 And we'll see you back here.

01:48:45.420 We'll see you back here this afternoon.

01:48:47.920 Yep.

01:48:48.320 Great.

01:48:48.600 Yeah, just Brad Economics, Getter and X.

01:48:52.760 Thank you, brother.

01:48:53.520 Appreciate you.

01:48:55.060 Thank you, Brad.

01:48:55.960 Raheem Kassam is going to join us this afternoon.

01:48:57.780 We're going to have others at New Charlie Well and also people that can give us insights

01:49:01.360 into this investigation.

01:49:02.580 In fact, what I want to do, the TRT of the, I want to play that Real America's Voice clip

01:49:09.380 at the end of this.

01:49:10.200 So if it's about a minute and a half, we'll cut to that a minute and a half.

01:49:12.780 Just tell me the TRT.

01:49:14.360 Minute 26.

01:49:16.140 See, this is how we do the War Room.

01:49:17.780 You put it together and coordinate and my crack producer.

01:49:22.600 So at a minute 26, I'm going to toss to that amazing reel put together by the Real America's

01:49:29.260 Voice team.

01:49:29.680 And I want to thank them for that.

01:49:32.400 Jack Basobiec will be, we'll take the show over at, we're not doing a live handoff, right?

01:49:37.320 We're just going to toss to, we're just going to toss to the show?

01:49:41.980 Jack's not up, right?

01:49:42.920 Jack's gone?

01:49:44.780 I just, I'm just, I'm just asking questions though.

01:49:48.460 We'll play the thing and then they'll take it to six.

01:49:50.160 So this afternoon, right at noon, as we do every day, we're going to toss to the Charlie

01:49:56.260 Kirk show.

01:49:57.780 Remember, we set it up to have a block of two hours of the War Room, two hours of Charlie.

01:50:02.960 He did another hour on radio, but then go right to Jack Basobiec.

01:50:05.720 So we used to call it the Power Five, right?

01:50:08.700 Five hours of populist nationalism.

01:50:10.500 And Jack's right, every morning we'd have a, we'd had a text stream of which we'd go over

01:50:16.220 some of the things we're going to cover and kind of give insights of what we thought the

01:50:20.660 day was going to be.

01:50:21.340 And Charlie would consistently put up a, in that, start with a Bible verse, something he

01:50:26.500 was reading or something he was studying.

01:50:27.880 Uh, he's a man that, uh, understood, uh, the Holy Word of God, both the Old Testament

01:50:33.260 and the New Testament very thoroughly and, and lived it.

01:50:35.940 And I think it's so appropriate that the last weekend of his life, uh, in Korea, spreading 0.99

01:50:41.420 the word, Mina Kim's tremendous, uh, conference.

01:50:44.380 I think about that with everything else he's got going on to fly to Korea and to do that,

01:50:47.900 to spread the word, because he knew that our Korean brethren, our brothers and sisters

01:50:52.900 in Korea are in tremendous pressure from the Chinese Communist Party.

01:50:55.500 And Charlie Kirk had a great sense of the moment and a great sense of geopolitics.

01:51:00.520 So we're going to leave you today.

01:51:01.780 We're going to toss, we're going to play this memorial, uh, and we're going to toss to Jack

01:51:06.040 Posobiec, to Tyler Boyer, to Andrew Colvitt.

01:51:09.400 Uh, they're going to take the Charlie Kirk show, uh, from here.

01:51:12.760 So let's go ahead and play the tribute to Charlie Kirk.

01:51:15.260 We'll be back at 5 PM Eastern Daylight Time from Utah, live from Utah.

01:51:19.900 I talk to a lot of young people on campuses, at our events, on my radio show, podcast,

01:51:28.160 and social media.

01:51:29.300 Said differently, I visit college campuses so you don't have to.

01:51:37.000 We're talking to so many voters that know it is time for change.

01:51:41.400 They know that something is wrong.

01:51:43.000 America's future is a series of choices.

01:51:47.220 Our current state of slow motion national decline is a choice.

01:51:55.660 Today is our two-year-old's birthday.

01:52:00.020 And I look at my daughter, and that is my why.

01:52:03.980 For those that are parents, you know exactly what I mean.

01:52:06.140 There is no mountain that stands tall as your faithfulness

01:52:14.720 And there's nothing else I'll ever need

01:52:21.880 All of my days, your mercy follow me

01:52:31.040 If the people want it, the people get it.

01:52:33.580 And we, the people, take back America. 0.88

01:52:36.080 God bless Arizona, and thank you so much.

01:52:57.360 What if he had the brightest mind in the war room

01:52:59.940 delivering critical financial research every month?

01:53:03.580 Steve Bannon here.

01:53:04.860 War room listeners know Jim Rickards.

01:53:06.540 I love this guy.

01:53:08.000 He's our wise man.

01:53:08.980 A former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor

01:53:11.520 with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
