Bannon's War Room - Episode 5645： Charlie Kirk： The Work Ethic

00:00:01.000 Time is a very interesting thing, and if you meticulously plan out your day, there's so much waste in people's schedule, right?

00:00:07.840 How much time do things actually take?

00:00:10.000 Do you really need two hours for a meeting?

00:00:12.100 Do you really need an hour and a half for that?

00:00:14.220 And so I'm like a time efficiency maximalist, and I still get nine to ten hours of sleep at night amazingly.

00:00:20.400 I didn't realize that motivation and drive and grit and hustle was actually an exceptional quality.

00:00:27.980 and so then quickly I realized like whoa I'm just gonna outwork everybody like I'm not the most

00:00:34.200 charismatic person you know I can speak I got a good thing going but I'm not the most I'm not the

00:00:39.840 smartest person and go to Harvard Law right um I don't have the highest IQ but I I can compete

00:00:46.300 with the best of them but I am gonna outwork you like I'll put in more hours I'll read more books

00:00:50.320 I'll listen to more podcasts like I will do more meetings we'll travel to more cities like that I

00:00:55.500 can do um a more personal question on the idea of like christian newton you being a very devout

00:01:00.500 christian um i remember speaking to your assistant during the vacation and he's saying you don't

00:01:04.940 respond on a sunday because you participate saturday actually yes yeah that's right yeah

00:01:09.520 that's very astute yeah so kind of like more why do you kind of like is that something you've taken

00:01:14.580 from the jewish tradition now i really like you uh now you ask the best question anyone's ever

00:01:18.360 i could talk about the sabbath all day long um i don't know if anyone is interested in this so

00:01:22.700 you could roll your eyes, but I, I am, I'm a Christian. So whether or not we're bound to the

00:01:27.000 Jewish Sabbath is hotly debated. There's great arguments for great arguments against. I'm

00:01:30.140 actually writing a book right now on why I honor the Sabbath. It's very simple. It's called stop

00:01:33.960 in the name of God. Why honoring the Sabbath will change the world basically. And it is an argument

00:01:38.300 that in this hyper materialistic, very fast, digitally frenzied world, that there is this,

00:01:44.980 there is this gift that I believe the Lord gave the Hebrews that we have decided to just gloss

00:01:50.420 sober. And it's very simple. It's that for one day you will stop, that it will be holy, that it

00:01:56.360 will be different. For those of you that are agnostic or not Christian, I still encourage you

00:02:00.040 to do this. People that honor the Sabbath live longer. We know this with the Seventh-day Adventists.

00:02:04.860 They actually are happier. They have better health outcomes. Everything about disconnecting

00:02:09.640 from modernity is good for you. It isn't arguable. This is a material fact, but why is it that we

00:02:14.160 have forgotten it? Well, for me personally, I worked like crazy for six days. On Friday night,

00:02:18.760 even Sunday morning, I turn my phone off and I try to stop. I try to make it distinct. I try to

00:02:22.560 make it different. It's where I do my best thinking. It's where I do my best time with my

00:02:25.640 family. Um, and again, this kind of goes back to, okay, we're trying to create all this new stuff

00:02:30.240 like, wow, we're gonna have this new technological intervention, innovation. We're gonna have this

00:02:33.340 vaccine and we're going to be a solve this with quantum mechanics and quantum computing. And I'm

00:02:37.960 kind of like, honestly, something was told to us on Sinai that we shouldn't forget that like you

00:02:43.680 shouldn't work for seven days in the retelling of the 10 commandments in the book of Deuteronomy.

00:02:48.040 The only difference of the retelling of the Ten Commandments is when Moses says, hey, you shouldn't work seven days because you're no longer a slave.

00:02:56.820 What Moses is saying is like only slaves work for seven days, actually.

00:03:00.240 And we in the West have kind of been slaves to our work.

00:03:02.120 And I say this as a free market capitalist.

00:03:04.140 That's not good.

00:03:05.120 It's making us depressed.

00:03:06.160 It's making us anxious.

00:03:07.020 and all of you have the agency to disconnect from that to make a choice to no longer have to be

00:03:12.460 subservient to the ever more more more next text next alert next email you know next whatsapp

00:03:18.380 message and it kind of goes back to a theme i've been saying that it has worked it's also a

00:03:23.100 phenomenal uh civilizational preserving tool and bill widdle talked about this so beautifully and

00:03:28.300 so effectively which is the way that we teach our values is basically through stories show me

00:03:34.940 me a civilization or a culture stories, I will show you their values. So for example, the stories

00:03:40.900 that are in our culture are about generosity and benevolence and heroism and the individual and

00:03:47.160 family and team building. Whether we understand it or not, the stories that we teach our kids are

00:03:52.660 actually a reflection of the values that we hold and those values are the values found in the Torah

00:03:56.900 and in the Bible, the Judeo-Christian ethic. Do not lie. Tell the truth. If you do these things,

00:04:01.440 You will fall from a position of power.

00:04:03.720 The only way you could possibly get back to that position of influence of power

00:04:06.900 is by doing an act of heroism that is greater than yourself.

00:04:10.240 I originally wanted to come up here and maybe troll,

00:04:11.880 but I actually have a genuine question for you.

00:04:13.660 Why is it that you are in strong support of religious values

00:04:17.240 being instilled as American values and protected by the Constitution

00:04:20.780 when our founding fathers kind of tried to stray away

00:04:23.100 from an installment of a specific religion on the entire country?

00:04:27.400 Well, I would reject the premise, but let's just kind of ask,

00:04:29.600 By what standard do you think we should live by?

00:04:31.840 I think that we should have a set amount of values that come from what we as a society kind of create

00:04:37.080 and that can be contributed by a mix of different religions, perspectives, and opinions,

00:04:41.480 which is why I disagree with the installment of a specific religion on the entire country.

00:04:45.380 So let's just, I'll tell you what I believe.

00:04:47.380 I believe specifically the Ten Commandments is a great place to start.

00:04:50.300 What that raises the issues of is what that does for the rest of the country.

00:04:55.180 Because if you flip that logic and you applied it to, let's say, values of Islam, values of Hinduism, values of Buddhism.

00:05:00.960 We weren't founded on those values, though.

00:05:02.500 Correct. We were not founded on those values.

00:05:03.860 But also, I think that just because we were founded on beneficial values of a specific religion

00:05:08.040 does not mean that we as a country should look to solidify the entire country in religion.

00:05:13.120 And what we're seeing a lot in government is more religious involvement.

00:05:15.660 Which we should. We should have a ton more religious involvement.

00:05:18.080 Would you agree with if the president elected was Muslim or had a different religion than you, would you also...

00:05:23.940 Well, let's take Vivek.

00:05:24.680 I mean, Vivek is a Hindu, but Vivek would come up here and say the Ten Commandments is one of the greatest moral breakthroughs ever.

00:05:30.220 The point being, and this is what I'm getting at, is that Christianity is the greatest ethic that humanity has ever had to live under.

00:05:35.500 And these are things you agree with.

00:05:37.160 You know, love the stranger, you know, help others, have justice.

00:05:41.760 Love thy neighbor.

00:05:42.460 Love thy neighbor as yourself, like Leviticus 19, right?

00:05:45.000 These are beautiful teachings.

00:05:46.760 In fact, they're so beautiful that you think that they're common, when in reality the rest of the world doesn't always have them.

00:05:51.780 Even freedom of speech and natural rights and charity to the lesser, these are all Christian values.

00:05:57.460 So what I'm getting at, though, is if we remove Christian values, which you may or may not be suggesting, what do we replace them with?

00:06:03.720 Self-control is more important than self-esteem.

00:06:05.960 So saying no to things that make you feel good immediately will be a vector of success.

00:06:10.240 I don't drink. I don't do drugs.

00:06:11.780 I think that's actually been a big reason why I've been able to do what I do.

00:06:14.440 Not to say that everyone who doesn't drink is successful, but your mornings are a lot easier.

00:06:18.100 Saturdays and Sundays aren't occupied, constantly worried about being blacked out drunk.

00:06:21.400 you also are able to keep weight off more, you know, and just kind of saying no to kind of the

00:06:24.340 easy conveniences of life. So self-control is super important. And then understanding that

00:06:27.800 discipline is really destiny. So finding five things you can do every day that you don't want

00:06:31.820 to do that are good for you. And then you do them for 10 years straight. All of a sudden,

00:06:34.760 let's all start. For example, we have one of the biggest Twitter accounts out there. You know,

00:06:37.880 praise God, it's amazing. I started with no Twitter followers, like 10 Twitter followers.

00:06:41.740 I said, okay, I'm going to figure this thing out. I'm going to tweet every day. I'm going to spend

00:06:45.040 two hours on this platform and we'll see how it works. And then 10 years later, 3 million followers,

00:06:48.780 right so that's just one example of many so daily disciplines lead to long-term success when i first

00:06:53.420 joined charlie we're on a flight from maine to new york he looked at me and asked how many states

00:06:58.140 have you been to shocked by my low number charlie said i'm gonna have to change that and he did

00:07:04.780 in my time with charlie i visited 48 states this fall we're supposed to hit the final two

00:07:11.420 on charlie's desk there's a framed box of text that contained three simple questions what can

00:07:18.300 can I do to help someone today? What can I do to add value to the world today? And how can I honor

00:07:24.120 God today? Or in other words, what can I do for those around me? What can I do for civilization?

00:07:30.460 And what can I do for our creator? Three simple questions. And yet by asking these questions of

00:07:35.660 himself every day and doing his utmost every day to achieve the answers, Charlie Kirk changed the

00:07:41.980 world. A great athlete does his absolute best every game and leaves it all out in the field.

00:07:46.660 then he leaves the rest to God. And that's how Charlie lived his life. He left every part of

00:07:52.380 himself out there in the arena, and that's where he died. Facing forward, still honoring God,

00:07:59.500 still pursuing the mission.

00:08:04.100 7th September, the year of our Lord, 2026. I want to welcome you for our special,

00:08:09.560 our Labor Day special. I thought it'd be very important on Labor Day to talk about work.

00:08:15.120 And most importantly, to honor one of the greatest Americans of the 21st century, Charlie Kirk, to talk about Charlie Kirk and his work ethic.

00:08:25.420 Because of everything else that Charlie manifested in Charlie's life and his endeavors, the basics and core of it, obviously, besides his faith and his faith in God, it was predicated upon that good old Protestant work ethic.

00:08:38.820 and Charlie manifested this.

00:08:41.520 I've asked a collection of folks

00:08:42.600 that work with him over at Turning Point

00:08:44.200 and on the show at REV

00:08:46.360 and some of the closest compadres he had.

00:08:48.900 I wanted to start with his wingman, Jack Posobiec.

00:08:53.440 Jack, and by the way, I'm glad,

00:08:55.560 I love the fact you've got the Unhumans in the background

00:08:59.920 because that book, Charlie would have loved that book.

00:09:02.600 In fact, the first edition, first time out,

00:09:04.860 he absolutely loved it.

00:09:07.000 And I want to make sure everybody knows

00:09:08.660 which way to go and how to get the real one right that we're coming out with talk to me about charlie

00:09:14.080 kirk how many years you knew him and about the work of charlie kirk i mean from breitbart to

00:09:20.340 going on to be the body man for for don jr and eric in the trump 2016 campaign to uh everything

00:09:27.720 during the start of turning point and going with donors and everything in the early years then

00:09:32.260 the Real America, his podcast, Real America's Voice, to lead up to the 2024 election. Then

00:09:38.540 his time in the White House, people don't know, the transition team, and then his time in the

00:09:42.340 White House with Sergio, making sure all the personnel was taken care of, and that the MAGA

00:09:48.160 cause, and particularly the America First cause, was always at the forefront. When you look at

00:09:53.100 everything with Charlie, it's all about work. I mean, because every endeavor he had never started

00:10:00.020 off with a bang it started off with a grind and he would grind until he would make it perfect jack

00:10:05.580 basobic dots and observations steve kirk the workout you know steve it's it's it's uh i love

00:10:12.840 the fact that war room is doing this i love the fact that war room is is putting on focus on the

00:10:17.040 work ethic of charlie kirk because you would never meet anyone in this world that could outwork

00:10:22.880 charlie it's not possible that don't they don't exist they're not on this planet uh i think i

00:10:29.520 think the only people who who might come close are uh are Donald Trump and Stephen K. Bannon

00:10:34.760 and you know the idea is no no no hang on I want to say I want to say something I want to say

00:10:40.360 something hang on that's yeah I've met I've had a chance of working with him at three people

00:10:44.400 and Andrew Breitbart Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump all of them the foundational element was

00:10:52.660 work and I mean grinding work because people see him you know Andrew Breitbart with all all the

00:10:57.360 pizzazz Breitbart and he just took over a room. Donald Trump, obviously on a stage, Charlie Kirk

00:11:02.720 out the returning point. They see the surface. They don't understand that underneath is grinding

00:11:08.800 every minute of everyday work. Jack Posobiec. So Charlie was highly regimented, and this is how

00:11:15.240 he was able to do everything he did. Every event, every meeting, every phone call, every minute of

00:11:20.980 his day would be scheduled out and grinding. And of course, for folks who know the, you know,

00:11:26.180 of course he would take the saturdays it's okay so saturday because he would do you know the

00:11:30.580 sabbath and he would turn the phone off and i remember i got to spend one of those saturdays

00:11:34.380 with him and i said i said you know so charlie because we're at this we're at this thing and i

00:11:38.200 was like so what do you do on these saturdays with the phone off you know and you know because

00:11:41.160 usually he would take that and be with family but we happen to be away and he goes he goes oh i'm

00:11:46.100 working on other stuff he would still be so the one day that he would take off he wouldn't actually

00:11:51.680 take off he would just be taking off the communications but you'd see what the guy

00:11:56.300 I remember I you know during that transition period when I went down with him Mar-a-Lago

00:12:00.580 and the Trump transition office with Sergio and everything and I remember seeing with him because

00:12:05.700 we were doing the shows back to back in West Palm and then you know we'd be working to the

00:12:12.000 wee hours every morning and then you go back and I would say I remember I seen his texting and

00:12:17.280 because he would you know he'd be texting just constantly all always always I remember I asked

00:12:21.200 someone say, Charlie, how many text messages do you send in a daily basis, a 24-hour period?

00:12:27.780 Looked at me without hesitation. He said 3,000. I said, it's about 3,000. And because of course,

00:12:34.780 Charlie, because he would always quantify things. He was very big on numbers. He was very big on

00:12:38.480 understanding metrics and all of his social media followers. He'd tell you every single one,

00:12:42.840 exactly how many followers on each platform. And it was all quantifiable. It was all down

00:12:48.100 to numbers, it was all down to metrics down to the way that he ate, the way that he would be

00:12:52.880 biohacking. And so all of it was meant for a purpose. There, everything was purposeful,

00:12:58.640 everything was deliberate, there was no, you know, wasted time, there's no wasted effort,

00:13:02.700 there's no wasted energy. Like if he was going to be with family, I'm going to be with family,

00:13:06.820 and I'm not going to work for, you know, two hours or whatever it is, whatever set aside for

00:13:10.800 family, because this is family time, and he would be poor himself 100% into that. So whatever he

00:13:17.180 was focused on, he would put 100% of his focus on it. And that's something that you would never see

00:13:23.660 Charlie have an issue with. Also, I will, I will, I will add this in that Charlie, even in terms of

00:13:30.940 his work ethic, would also use sleep as part of his work ethic. And let me explain why that is.

00:13:37.300 Charlie wasn't on caffeine for I want to say about an entire year for about that year or so.

00:13:43.020 All those cups, you know, it was tea. That wasn't coffee. And Charlie was big on sleep, and he understood the importance of sleep, how it made you healthier, how it helped rejuvenate you. And, you know, not to let too much out of the bag, but, you know, he would be known to take power naps from time to time.

00:14:01.920 But here's the way he looked at it. He said, this is going to be healthier than slamming energy drink after energy drink, drinking all the coffee. It would actually make him be able to work better and to work longer. And that's exactly what he did.

00:14:17.080 So he would say, okay, I'm going to close my eyes for 15 minutes, and then boom, would be right back at it.

00:14:21.940 So people need to understand, it was a 24-7 operation, 24-7.

00:14:27.040 And from the minute he woke up, he's firing off Bible quotes to people on those days that he would take the day off his phone.

00:14:33.500 He'd be sitting, he'd be reading the Bible, he'd be studying Deuteronomy, he'd be listening to a three-hour Hillsdale, you know, course on the Old Testament or something.

00:14:43.240 And he'd pass it over and say, oh, Jack, you got to you got to listen to this entire thing by Monday and then come on the show and talk about it.

00:14:49.220 I said, oh, yeah, Charlie, I'll get right on that.

00:14:51.200 You know, we'll we'll be right on there.

00:14:53.800 Or he'd pass me this, you know, darkness at noon and say, Jack, have this whole book read by by tomorrow because we've got to do it.

00:14:59.800 You don't wait until your house is on fire to install a smoke detector.

00:15:03.300 And you don't wait until the wind and rain hammer your windows and the power goes out to prepare for a hurricane.

00:15:10.780 And you don't reach for your seatbelt after the impact because after the crash, the hurricane, or the house fire, it's too late.

00:15:19.760 Similarly, you don't wait until the dollar goes to zero before you buy gold.

00:15:24.260 It's too late then.

00:15:25.680 Diversify with precious metals and diversify now because you never know what will threaten your savings next.

00:15:33.160 Persistent inflation, a weakening dollar, unexpected financial disruptions.

00:15:37.340 You don't know what's coming, but you can take preventative steps, and you can take them today.

00:15:42.780 Do that right now by requesting a free information kit on gold from my friends at Birch Gold Group.

00:15:49.180 Just text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898.

00:17:19.360 end of the dollar empire all of it and talk to philip patrick and the team and do it today

00:17:23.420 uh jack basobic charlie because you saw it and you saw the pressure and the tension particularly

00:17:31.060 as Charlie and the work of all these years start to manifest itself and him becoming essentially

00:17:36.300 not just an American figure, but a global figure, the pressure that comes with that,

00:17:40.020 the attacks on him, but underneath it, this work ethic, and he made it look effortless.

00:17:47.680 It was just kind of like, almost like Zen com. It was very hard to rattle Charlie. At least it

00:17:52.920 looked from the outside, you being the wingman, you and Andrew and Tyler and the other team may

00:17:57.660 have seen it differently but tell me about that tell the audience about it uh well well steve yeah

00:18:03.040 i i could think of a few moments uh like i could for example i could think of when the biden regime

00:18:07.660 would um you know we'd be holding a turning point event down in in west palm beach and and in the

00:18:14.740 middle of summer because of course you go to west palm in the middle of summer that's what charlie

00:18:17.680 would do he say oh it's cheaper then you know so and uh to get the uh the convention center

00:18:22.720 and it's it's it's so oppressively hot and i remember when the biden regime did that

00:18:28.840 we uh we had i think it was the president coming in and so we had secret service but they only

00:18:34.400 afforded us one set of magnetometers for the entire event for the entire west palm convention

00:18:41.120 center oh my god i remember i remember that oh my lord i remember this hold on hold on go back to

00:18:47.320 Go back to the dude. Go back to that story. It's amazing. This was this was Biden putting into Charlie Kirk.

00:18:55.000 Right. So Biden was putting it, putting it in. And so I'm sitting there going out and I said, what's what's the deal with this line out here?

00:19:02.480 He goes, what line is it? There's this there's the whole line of people.

00:19:05.360 They can't get in. And, you know, they're all outside and it's oppressively hot.

00:19:09.760 Plus, you got people dressed very nicely. They always dress nice for turning point events.

00:19:13.340 You got got women in dresses. You got guys in suits. And we find out what happened is that there's only one set of magnetometers, the metal detectors for the entire convention center.

00:19:23.940 So you got hundreds of people just waiting outside in this oppressive, incredible humidity, this heat.

00:19:30.880 And so Charlie and a boy, I let me let me just say Charlie was, you know, he was he was calm a lot of the time.

00:19:37.720 But this, this, this one almost got, it got to him a little bit. He, uh, he almost, almost came a little uncommon this one, but he said, all right, here's what we're going to do. He goes, he goes, Jack, could you, you know, could you just go and like maybe talk to them? I said, what do you mean talk to them? He said, just, you know, go. Cause there was this one spot where you could, it was like above the escalator where you could sort of look down as they came into the atrium. And I said, sure, I'll, I'll, I'll go up and I'll make some kind of address.

00:20:02.980 So I go up and I'm trying to explain what's going on to everybody.

00:20:05.960 And I remember I had Jack-Jack with me and we were sort of just getting people to cheer,

00:20:10.300 chant USA and things like that.

00:20:12.040 What did Charlie do?

00:20:13.360 Charlie went outside.

00:20:14.640 While I was doing that, Charlie went outside to every single person that was waiting in

00:20:20.560 that line.

00:20:21.060 He brought a couple of guys with him from the Turning Point Volunteers.

00:20:24.260 He handed every single person a water bottle and he shook every person's hand and he said,

00:20:28.260 I'm very sorry about that.

00:20:29.680 You have to wait out here.

00:20:30.420 every single person in the line i have no idea what was on his schedule what he had you know

00:20:36.240 originally because because during these events people understand backstage charlie would be it

00:20:40.240 was podcast after podcast interview after interview he'd have donor meetings he'd have you know you

00:20:45.820 know phone call with the white house whatever it is or not not white house during this time but

00:20:49.700 you know phone call with president trump or or whoever and and it was boom boom boom so there

00:20:54.520 was no moment where he was just sort of hanging back plus you're running the event too so if

00:20:58.820 something goes on on stage he's got to put out a fire or someone doesn't show up or somebody says

00:21:03.000 something crazy you get a guy like uh poso goes up start throwing out white boy summer hats you

00:21:07.780 know and and but hang on i want everybody to understand yeah particularly amfet you look at

00:21:13.260 the scale amfest and yeah but the am yeah he goes out and shakes i mean this is charlie is best

00:21:20.620 you look at amfest and if you're on stage amfest the thing is massive it's it's it's so coordinated

00:21:27.240 but the pressure just to do that right and he's kind of like the master of ceremonies for

00:21:32.040 all three four days behind the scenes he's always first and last on charlie because he

00:21:37.620 he he would not he and i would do a one hour like podcast but also for uh for some of the big donors

00:21:45.080 that actually help amfest go on we do an hour but it was like an assembly line he's so i said people

00:21:51.060 don't understand he's overseeing this thing he's running it right he's doing the mc and coordinating

00:21:56.660 all of it but behind the scenes he's eight hours nine hours a day either in meetings

00:22:01.900 with the young people or doing donor meetings or or doing podcasts sir

00:22:06.940 right and then and then he'll he would get off that or he'd get off stage or or walk back out

00:22:12.820 and now he's boom he's got an hour-long line of people that want to do a meet and greet and he's

00:22:17.980 he's snapping selfies and he's signing books and uh you know whatever else he is during that then

00:22:22.860 he's boom. Now he's on stage. Now, a lot of the time he'd be conducting an interview or he would

00:22:27.340 be conducting a, you know, a panel moderating something and keep in mind that he's got to be,

00:22:32.220 you know, obviously abreast of all these issues. And this, this is a key thing that people,

00:22:36.280 you know, you want to go behind the scenes a little bit is whenever he wasn't directly

00:22:41.600 focused on creating some piece of content or meeting with somebody, whether it be from,

00:22:47.600 from, you know, the richest man in the world to, to, to a student volunteer that just showed up

00:22:52.360 from high school, you know, Charlie would be reading, he'd be reading news, he'd be reading

00:22:56.360 books, he'd be learning statistics, he'd be learning facts. And when he would go out on these

00:23:00.800 tours, of course, you know, he would, you know, they would kind of have in the Navy, we used to

00:23:06.900 call it murder boarding, right? We would say, it would say you're getting ready for, you know,

00:23:10.880 your big briefing to the Admiral or for the CEO. And so you'd have to get up there and, you know,

00:23:16.540 give your briefing and someone's firing as many questions as they can, making it as hard as

00:23:20.160 possible for you to get through your presentation. And that's what Charlie would be doing. He'd be

00:23:24.160 getting ready for these by arguing with people, debating with people, sparring with folks,

00:23:30.700 perhaps yours truly here and there, and going through what potential arguments is he going to

00:23:37.140 face on campus, and then coming up with those responses. And abortion, on race relations, on

00:23:44.560 d-e-i okay okay hang on hang on i want people to understand this this is my point about it

00:23:50.520 seemed it seemed effortless he he's he's in there with these kids and he always put the toughest

00:23:56.760 questions people disagreeing the upfront and the way he respond and the charm that was hours and

00:24:04.880 hours and hours of work yes to be prepared and be able to handle that particularly in these tough

00:24:10.480 environments tell me about that the murder boarding the process you guys would go through

00:24:13.740 Yeah, well, he would have, he would have this giant, his work, he was prepared, like he was prepared, go ahead. And, yeah, he would have binders, he would have notebooks that would be set up when he would go on these tours. And, and each of those, you know, he'd be sort of going through drilling himself over and over and over as he's on his way to get to, to an event as his way to get to one of these things just drill, you know, and, and if something had been, you know, kind of in the news or something, let's say if something had been, you know, debated and raging online,

00:24:43.080 And the idea being that, you know, hey, you're probably going to get a couple of questions about that.

00:24:46.900 So he would say, hey, what are the best arguments for this? What are the best arguments for that?

00:24:50.240 And I remember Blake and Andrew, he was asking them on on 910.

00:24:55.340 He was one of the last conversations they had. He said he was saying, give me some of the good arguments for marriage.

00:25:00.140 You know, what's a good argument for marriage? What should I say when you're, you know, someone saying marriage is good?

00:25:05.060 Why? Give me all give me stats, give me details. And he would have them memorized.

00:25:09.420 And so the idea that you're seeing it effortless is because you're looking at a guy who would put 10,000 hours a year into just every piece of what he's doing.

00:25:22.700 And so he's putting so much work into it that when you see him up there, he doesn't look like he's flustered.

00:25:29.840 He's not worried about any of the questions he's going to be receiving because he's already heard that behind the scenes in preparation for these debates.

00:25:37.660 And, you know, Steve, actually, it's, you know, it goes without saying that, obviously, you know, when we did lose him the way that we did during the assassination, obviously, as horrific as it was, one of the big pieces that I always come back to is, man, he had just finished preparing for that tour, right?

00:25:56.280 So he had just finished preparing for all those debates that he was going to have going forward.

00:26:00.280 He had a debate with Hassan Piker that he had planned for that was going to be in a couple of weeks from when it happened.

00:26:05.860 And so he had prepared so much for that.

00:26:08.960 He had some international trips to Korea and Japan.

00:26:11.820 So he was using that flight time to prepare for it as well.

00:26:14.780 And so he was totally and fully prepped.

00:26:17.540 It was like he was battle ready when he went out there.

00:26:21.460 And he gets two questions in.

00:26:23.740 And we all know the rest of the story.

00:26:25.540 But the point is, is that he had done so much work in preparation for that tour and his next series of debates.

00:26:32.460 And it always sticks in my craw that, you know, the world will never get to see all of that, which he had done so much work to prepare for.

00:26:43.600 Jack, give me a minute here on the book.

00:26:45.400 I'm going to go to break.

00:26:46.040 I'm going to hold you through next just for a couple of minutes.

00:26:49.520 I know you've got to bounce, but just talk to me about the new Unhumans book and how do people go and make sure they get this one because it's going to be a blockbuster.

00:26:58.340 And this is the type of thing Charlie loves.

00:27:00.260 So talk to me about it.

00:27:01.980 Well, thank you, Stephen. And you're right. Charlie loved the first version of this. And he said it was our favorite conversation ever that he had with me talking about the Russian Revolution, because I think a lot of people just don't realize that when you're faced with a socialist revolution, it's something that's different.

00:27:16.820 It's something that hasn't occurred before in the United States of America.

00:27:20.980 And people want to go back to 1930s Germany and they say, oh, this is like everything.

00:27:25.160 But actually, there are things throughout our history that directly parallel what we're seeing now.

00:27:31.340 And I mean world history.

00:27:32.340 So I mean the Spanish Revolution, the Chinese Revolution, the Chinese Communist Party, the French Revolution, and of course the Bolshevik Revolution in Spain,

00:27:41.200 where you see the marxists making their targets subverting society taking over the institutions

00:27:48.340 this is exactly what we're seeing now and now the new version which is socialist revolution it has

00:27:54.080 the uh i call it the statue of unhumanity on the cover this is the one that you want to get because

00:28:00.360 now the update of course the the moral core the central fiber of all of it is the murder of charlie

00:28:06.520 Yeah. Hey, hang on one second. You're going to stick with us after the break.

00:28:11.440 As President Trump continues to fight for this great country, one of his most important actions could soon impact the wealth of millions of hardworking Americans like you.

00:28:20.920 Of course, you won't hear about this in the mainstream media or on the nightly news.

00:28:26.520 They'll never admit Trump was right about anything.

00:28:29.300 But according to my dear friend and frequent War Room guest, Jim Rickards, President Trump has a plan that could unlock an estimated $2.7 trillion in American resources, creating opportunities that many investors may not even realize exist.

00:28:45.720 Jim recently put together a new presentation explaining what he believes is happening, why it matters, and what Americans should be watching right now.

00:28:54.060 To get the full story, go to RickardsWarRoom.com.

00:28:58.320 That's RickardsWarRoom.com and watch Jim's free presentation.

00:29:21.640 Welcome back.

00:29:22.560 brought to you by the charlie kirk special charlie kirk the work ethic our labor day special brought

00:29:27.440 to you by birch gold and brought to you by patriot mobile the paper mobile team and there for charlie

00:29:33.460 in the early years glenn story and um and jenny story make sure 972 patriot go talk to somebody

00:29:39.580 the east texas accent today how did um his thirst for knowledge i know this one of the reasons you

00:29:46.000 guys got so close is that you're a student of history or naval intelligence officer charlie

00:29:50.500 had a thirst if he didn't know something this is why he got started the whole business he would

00:29:54.200 tell me glenn back he'd watch glenn back and the thing fascinating about glenn back was the whole

00:29:59.040 debt and deficits and what glenn back talked about and really glenn was the first person to talk to a

00:30:03.600 working class and middle class audience when he had that five o'clock show on fox

00:30:06.940 talked about qes charlie had an amazing thirst for knowledge he didn't go to college he was

00:30:14.200 self-educated but i mean he had a phd because this guy would when he drilled down onto a topic

00:30:19.200 I mean, Charlie Kirk drilled down on it.

00:30:21.620 Jack Posobiec, your thoughts?

00:30:23.760 No, there's nothing like it.

00:30:25.360 And you could tell when Charlie was in the midst of this because, you know, I don't know if it was because of the debates, right?

00:30:32.600 Because he would always find himself in these debates.

00:30:34.680 And the way that he lived his life was always that he had to have some kind of comeback, some kind of knowledge.

00:30:39.800 But I actually think it started earlier than that.

00:30:42.080 I think that he was just someone who wanted to understand the world, who wanted to understand really any topic that he was in.

00:30:48.300 because there was, I'll give you a great example of this, because there were things that he was

00:30:51.800 into that he knew every little detail about that had nothing to do with these debates.

00:30:57.720 One of which, which, you know, people can know is the Maha movement. And I think people don't

00:31:02.220 realize how into Maha Charlie really was. And behind the scenes, Charlie was talking about

00:31:08.180 all these things. And even before, you know, Bobby Kennedy got involved in 2024, Charlie was

00:31:14.000 already doing what he would call biohacking. You know, he was looking into different nutrients,

00:31:17.980 he was looking into the foods that he was eating. He was, there's a there's a video of the two of

00:31:22.340 us at the RNC in 2024, rum busting him because he he doesn't want to eat a plate or no, he's

00:31:28.200 giving his speech at the RNC. And he says, All right, I will allow myself to eat a plate of

00:31:33.440 wings. And I said, Charlie, what do you what do you normally eat? He goes, Oh, I eat like

00:31:37.440 three leaves of lettuce and some nuts and some berries and this and that. And I said, Yeah,

00:31:42.380 They call that you call that the bird diet or something.

00:31:44.520 What is that?

00:31:46.060 And and of course, because it was all just totally focused.

00:31:50.100 And but again, it was that discipline that he had to say, this is what I'm going to allow

00:31:55.480 myself to eat.

00:31:56.440 This is the you know, and he would be able to walk you through chapter and verse study

00:32:00.540 after study.

00:32:01.180 And by the way, not just on on nutrition and that element of Maha, but also on vaccines.

00:32:06.940 And he was very, very into this new understanding that I think, you know, at the time had just been coming around, that people were saying, you know what, perhaps we have been having this blind faith in the vaccine process for so long.

00:32:21.240 And it's it's something that he was very, very delved deep into to the point where this is where, of course, you know, he started getting dinged, of course, on his social media platforms because Facebook and YouTube and all the rest, they did not like what he was saying publicly on vaccines.

00:32:38.780 But what I'm trying to say is that behind the scenes, he was he was spending time going study after study.

00:32:44.440 He was reading the literature. He was reading the pro, the con.

00:32:47.880 He was finding out everything he possibly could on all sides of the argument.

00:32:51.140 So so when you would see him say something publicly, when you would see him take a position, he's drilled down so deep on these things that, you know, if you ask him more about it, he's going to already know about this stuff.

00:33:04.820 And the courses, he would take these online courses, Hillsdale, Aristotle, Machiavelli with Claremont, I believe he did an online course with that.

00:33:14.920 And so he was doing all of these classes and, you know, extra readings and extra work just on the side.

00:33:22.940 It wasn't even stuff for public consumption, but it all added to what you saw in public because what you saw in public, it's, you know, to use a cliche, but it was the tip of the iceberg.

00:33:32.400 It was just the tip of the iceberg of the depth of knowledge.

00:33:35.860 And for people who thought he was was glib, you just I mean, you would see what happens when people try to try to push him on a piece of information and what he was able to do.

00:33:46.040 Now, it's one of the reasons he loved your book, The First Unhumans.

00:33:49.980 He would love this about the depth of knowledge you tie together.

00:33:53.440 That's the Charlie love that type of stuff.

00:33:55.080 And we always ask a million questions.

00:33:56.840 I want to end with this because I know you get a bounce.

00:33:59.420 it's kind of like the duck and underneath that they're paddling like crazy but he had he had a

00:34:05.920 calmness about him and particularly going into the cauldron the crucible of these college campus

00:34:11.640 folks i can't tell you how tough that is particularly how tough it is to keep your

00:34:16.920 calm and have a sense of graciousness i mean charlie was a throwback to another time about

00:34:22.360 being a gentleman right for even those people that disagreed with him the most that work on

00:34:26.920 himself talk talk about how did charlie get to that place of discipline and self-control that

00:34:32.920 takes work to sit there in the crucible of particularly modern marxist uh you know neo

00:34:40.540 bolshevik uh college campuses and just be the charlie kirk that everybody knew and loved sir

00:34:47.560 well yeah i mean look this was this was uh uh certainly like charlie and i had had certain

00:34:53.220 things in common, but this was definitely not one of them. So Charlie is, you know, he was,

00:34:58.240 he was, he was a Midwesterner, right? He had this, this Midwest, nice sort of, sort of genteel

00:35:04.260 attitude, this idea that, you know, you should always, you know, it's your conflict averse,

00:35:10.760 right? You're almost conflict averse. And, and I don't mean to say, obviously he was willing to

00:35:14.760 engage a debate, but you know, you didn't want to have these, these conflicts the way that,

00:35:18.760 you know, you, you'd see a lot with the Midwest. They call it Midwest. No, he, he was, he was a

00:35:22.940 warrior he was a warrior without he was a warrior without turning people off that were just tuning

00:35:28.280 in and didn't really know yeah that was and that takes enormous strength and discipline which is a

00:35:33.160 totally different kind of thing than you usually see online uh or usually see in a place where i'm

00:35:39.540 from which is the philadelphia area where i you know we don't we don't we're we're a little bit

00:35:43.880 known for being slightly different than the midwest nice if you're if you're familiar with

00:35:48.080 the Eagles fans that raised me. That, you know, we have a slightly different style, especially

00:35:53.860 being Slavic. And, you know, it was amazing to see because, you know, there would be times where,

00:35:59.620 you know, I've even kind of considered that, you know, I could see how being that happy warrior,

00:36:06.500 actually, it was something that he taught me, that you can reach more people this way,

00:36:10.860 you can reach more people with being not just not just honest and truthful, but also with having a

00:36:16.400 smile on your face by going out there and showing the warmth and showing the love and understanding

00:36:21.640 that this is what animates us. It's the love of family. It's the love of our faith, which of

00:36:26.900 course, Charlie always put front and center. And that was obviously something that we bonded on

00:36:30.500 very quickly. And the love of country and the love of understanding that if we know where we came

00:36:37.600 from, what our founding was, how truly, truly extraordinary the founding of the United States

00:36:44.440 of America was by the men who did it, why the way and and why they did it in the way that they did

00:36:50.580 to understand those, those pieces of it. I mean, we'd be quoting the Federalist papers back to back

00:36:56.440 and forth to one another. And then we would switch to the Bible. And then you switch to something

00:37:00.120 else. And if you hadn't done the reading, you know, Charlie was quick, he would be very, he's

00:37:03.820 very quick, very sharp. And he could tell that if he was talking to someone who didn't understand

00:37:08.100 where he was going, he would, you know, he'd say, Okay, and now you're in a new category,

00:37:11.800 Right. You know, because you can't hang. And and he would size people up very, very quickly in terms of that.

00:37:17.640 And I've always said that, you know, if you go back and watch some some of our thought crime episodes on the times where we would disagree, I say, man, I I miss my miss my sparring partner a lot.

00:37:30.980 Big time. It's seems like it was decades ago and then it seems like it just happened yesterday on the one coming up on the one year anniversary.

00:37:39.640 Closing thoughts, Jack, before we let you go, sir.

00:37:44.060 Look, this is only the only way that we're going to get out of the situation is through working like Charlie and having the Charlie Kirk work ethic.

00:37:53.240 And in fact, I think that's what we should just start calling it, the Charlie Kirk work ethic, because it's so phenomenal.

00:37:58.940 It was incredible to see. It was incredible to just be a witness to that, to be able to see how he did it every day.

00:38:05.420 You know, I remember I mentioned I remember one time, Steve, actually, you were in this and Charlie had he had sent me on this this foreign trip.

00:38:12.240 And he said, I want you to go on this thing. You're going to check this thing out.

00:38:14.700 And some, you know, Eastern Mediterranean, Eastern Europe kind of whole thing.

00:38:19.800 And I'm over there. And then he goes, oh, Jack, now we got to have this great reset conference.

00:38:23.320 You got to fly all the way back. I said, Charlie, you want me to fly halfway around the world just so I can get to this conference?

00:38:28.540 And then I have to go back. And that's that's what prompted him to say, Jack, how do you think I built Turning Point?

00:38:32.860 All right. Get on the plane. And sure, I did.

00:38:35.420 And sure I did, because it's it's just that willingness to forego or and by the way, he did the exact.

00:38:42.160 I'll tell you another example where he said that was when in the Carrie Lake election, when on her when they stole the election from Carrie Lake.

00:38:49.240 And I was like, you know, Charlie, I got this flight to D.C.

00:38:52.300 I'm supposed to be back. And we're no, Jack, we're going to recount.

00:38:54.860 You got to get up, get on the flight back. Come right back here.

00:38:57.620 We got to come in. We got to keep working.

00:38:59.300 We got to go and get our nose to the ground, nose to the mat for Carrie Lake.

00:39:03.700 And that's exactly right here in Arizona.

00:39:05.420 And that's exactly what we did. And so he would, you know, as as a couple of guys tend to do, we would sort of we would sort of push each other to be able to, you know, to to to go harder, to do more.

00:39:17.820 And some of the marathon live streams that we would do 12 hours, 13 hours, 14 hours on election days, it's it's something that I don't think people realize that, look, I'm not saying it's as hard as as manual labor or anything like that.

00:39:29.540 But that's a lot of time. And Charlie would sit there and he would do it with grace and he would smile and he'd be happy, even his sleep deprived and everything else as he was.

00:39:38.360 And the goal, right? Why was he able to do this? And it's very simple. Because he had a purpose. Because he had a why. Because he understood what he was fighting for.

00:39:48.600 If you're fighting for Western civilization, if you're in that fight, if you're fighting for your children, if you've got something to lose, and believe me, I saw Charlie absolutely found the new gear when he met Erica, when they had the kids together.

00:40:00.680 He was becoming this just incredible version of himself that we're all very, obviously, very sorely missed that we'll not be able to have that guy in our lives and in our country.

00:40:14.560 the charlie kirk work ethic i like that hangs together where they get the book jack

00:40:22.020 well thanks so much steve it's it's up at amazon it is up at unhumansbook.com if people want to

00:40:29.120 get the special edition president trump came out and endorsed the book recently and of course we're

00:40:33.060 very honored to have that the media very very upset that the president has done so but that's

00:40:38.540 because we talk about how we're going to win.

00:40:44.060 Jack Posobiec, thank you for taking time on this Labor Day

00:40:47.340 to join us in commemoration of the Charlie Kirk, the work ethic.

00:40:52.080 I appreciate you, sir.

00:40:54.300 Yeah, God bless.

00:40:55.060 God bless to the posse and, of course, praying for Charlie's family.

00:41:00.520 Thank you, brother.

00:41:01.360 Appreciate you.

00:41:04.360 Ben Burkamp, first, sir, we're going to go in the next block.

00:41:06.660 I want to get Natasha Owens.

00:41:08.020 We're going to talk about this amazing song that she wrote.

00:41:11.380 And did God work through her?

00:41:14.000 I mean, how does she create this song?

00:41:15.400 I'm always interested about how artists work.

00:41:17.320 So we're going to talk to Natasha and talk about how you get the song.

00:41:20.540 Ben Burkwam is still going to, we got Ben Burkwam's going to join us.

00:41:23.760 We got Andrew Colvett.

00:41:25.320 Hopefully, I think Tyler, Blake, all of it in the next hour and go through all of it.

00:41:31.240 When I thought about this, I was thinking this was, you know, a month or so ago.

00:41:35.440 three of the most extraordinary individuals i've ever met andrew breitbart charlie kirk and donald

00:41:42.420 trump i was thinking about them and what ties them all together i've never met three people

00:41:48.560 that have ever worked harder in my entire life and people just see kind of the surface the the

00:41:54.020 the great energy and pizzazz of andrew breitbart and that charismatic leader donald trump and

00:41:59.600 everything president trump's done the charisma him and charlie kirk i said but behind the scenes

00:42:04.200 because I got to know all three of them behind the scenes,

00:42:06.680 the work, just the grinding work day in and day out.

00:42:10.600 And to do it, and Charlie and Andrew doing it as the happy warrior,

00:42:15.500 how you keep that composure and how you keep that humility.

00:42:18.480 Pretty extraordinary.

00:42:20.780 One year ago, this coming week, what, Thursday?

00:42:25.020 It seems like a lifetime ago, and it seems like only yesterday,

00:42:28.780 the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

00:44:46.620 war room here's your host stephen k bann

00:44:51.500 okay uh natasha owens was inspired to write a song about charlie kirk uh and it's already been

00:45:01.600 it's already a massive hit we're gonna play the song in its entirety and tell you how you can

00:45:05.000 order. Natasha, our special about Charlie Kirk, The Work Ethic. Talk to me about your work ethic.

00:45:11.500 How do you work? And particularly in this regard, how were you inspired and how did you work through

00:45:16.960 this amazing song and tribute to Charlie Kirk that just happens to come out on the weekend

00:45:23.180 before the first anniversary of his assassination? Ma'am. You know, I believe as Christians, we are

00:45:29.460 to have a great work ethic. I believe God opens up doors. And when you see the most successful

00:45:33.680 people in this world, they have Christianity underneath their feet, right? Charlie Kirk

00:45:38.400 exemplified that. He had such courage, more courage than anybody that I've ever known.

00:45:43.700 And that tells me that the love of Christ and the light of Christ was in him because the most

00:45:48.220 courageous people have had Christ. And, you know, I want to bring faith into this because I wanted

00:45:53.000 to honor Charlie by bringing Christianity all throughout the song. The song is going to bring

00:45:57.920 you through so many emotions if you haven't heard it. We are grieving still for him, but I wanted

00:46:04.880 to bring hope into this. And so the Christianity layer is, I brought Benji Gaither in to do the

00:46:11.600 duet with me. He's Bill Gaither's son. If you know Christian music, you know of Bill Gaither.

00:46:16.420 For me, you can't separate this from faith. Our hope does not end at the funeral. As Christians,

00:46:22.200 we grieve, but we don't grieve without hope. Charlie spoke openly about his faith. I wanted

00:46:27.400 this song to acknowledge the heartbreak without leaving people in despair. Because folks, we have

00:46:32.980 a responsibility, the light that God put into Charlie, his work ethic, his courage, his faithfulness,

00:46:40.700 all of that is his legacy. And you know, legacy isn't what people say when you're gone. It's what

00:46:46.300 people do differently because you lived. Charlie lived differently than anybody I have ever known.

00:46:52.380 and he was so courageous.

00:46:54.580 He went into these rooms and he stood

00:46:56.560 when no one else would stand because of his courage.

00:47:01.020 And I'm just so thankful that he stood.

00:47:03.740 He stood first and we have to remember that

00:47:06.400 when we are in a room that the Democrats

00:47:09.520 or whoever is intimidating us,

00:47:12.980 we have to remember what would Charlie do?

00:47:15.760 He would do exactly what Jesus would do.

00:47:17.640 He would stand up and he would tell the hard truth.

00:47:20.540 And I think that that is what everyone is wanting today.

00:47:24.060 They just want to be told the truth, right?

00:47:26.160 And that's something that is now controversial.

00:47:30.080 The truth is something that can be changed according to the other side.

00:47:36.020 And we have the truth in knowing that godly principles is what we stand upon.

00:47:41.280 This country is what we stand upon.

00:47:43.060 And we have to make sure that the next generation believes and has the work ethic of Charlie.

00:47:48.080 we're going to start the song here in a minute i want to play its entirety and tell people where

00:47:53.120 to go uh to to buy it but real quickly do you believe god worked through you through your work

00:47:59.020 to produce and uh and deliver this song ma'am i do you know and everything that i do every time i go

00:48:06.640 up on a stage every time i record a song every time we write a song i pray one thing that they

00:48:12.300 feel God in every word and not just me. And so I know that God breathes into this song. And I think

00:48:19.320 you can feel the heartbeat of not me. I think you feel the heartbeat of God and the heartbeat of

00:48:23.920 Charlie in this song. And I'm very proud of it. I hope it does great things in remembering him

00:48:30.280 to the man that he was. Natasha, where do people go right now to get this song? I want to make

00:48:38.300 sure we drive this song up the charts in honor of Charlie Kirk on the run-up to the first year

00:48:43.620 of his assassination for his work. Where do people go, ma'am? Number one place to go is iTunes. That

00:48:51.400 drives everything. That's what the industry looks at. Go to iTunes, buy the song, share the song,

00:48:58.560 get all your friends to buy it. Keep it at number one. It sends a strong statement,

00:49:30.160 in just a moment.

00:49:33.040 He made us feel like we belong.

00:49:41.880 We miss you, Charlie.

00:49:44.960 We still hear your song.

00:49:48.780 You said, come with me.

00:49:50.960 There's a world where truth is strong.

00:49:55.680 We miss you, Charlie.

00:49:57.880 You showed us how to see

00:50:00.880 A better world ahead of us

00:50:05.760 Born from belief

00:50:07.840 And imagination free

00:50:11.640 You saw more than what was broken

00:50:16.540 More than headlines, more than rage

00:50:19.680 You saw hearts that needed courage

00:50:23.420 Not permission from the age

00:50:27.300 Getting bigger than the moment

00:50:30.500 Don't let them shrink your mind

00:50:34.720 If you can see it, you can feel it

00:50:37.500 If you're willing to be kind

00:50:41.380 Now the room feels different somehow

00:50:46.500 Like a line still left on

00:50:52.640 We miss you, Tom

00:50:55.880 But the door you open stays You said, come with me, let's imagine unafraid

00:51:06.120 We miss you, Charlie You helped us all believe

00:51:12.860 That the future's not decided It's waiting on the brave

00:51:21.960 If you want hope, just knock around

00:51:24.940 Every voice you helped awaken

00:51:28.240 You said the world could be more honest

00:51:31.980 More free than what we're shown

00:51:35.260 So we're building what you saw back then
