00:00:07.280 Well, statistically speaking...

00:00:08.800 Nah, no more statistically speaking. I want hot takes. I want knee-jerk reactions. 0.97

00:00:13.280 That's not really what I do.

00:00:30.000 Hello, you guys. I know I did an episode yesterday on 910. It was kind of like an ode to Charlie

00:00:42.300 and to what he meant to me personally, of course, what he meant to the conservative movement,

00:00:46.960 and even more broadly speaking, what he meant to the world. But today, actually the time of

00:00:52.800 this filming, it is 910. I'm in Phoenix at Turning Point's headquarters. I figured we

00:00:59.140 would just kind of do a little vlog. It's a really heavy week with obviously 9-10 with

00:01:06.400 the time you're watching this or potentially watching this. It's 9-11. So I figured instead

00:01:12.920 of releasing the episode I had scheduled for today, which is now going to come out Tuesday

00:01:17.260 about organ harvesting in China and what that means for us in the U.S. Really, really crazy

00:01:23.700 stuff happening on the Oregon black market over in China. That's a preview for Tuesday's episode.

00:01:29.440 Instead of releasing that today, which felt kind of tone deaf given the circumstances of this week,

00:01:34.780 I just figured we would do a little vlog of On the Ground here in Phoenix at Turning Point

00:01:40.720 headquarters. Turning Point has been under fire the past year. Lots of criticism for Erica stepping

00:01:48.300 in as CEO for the model for developing other young leaders, which Turning Point has been

00:01:54.100 really, really effective at since Charlie started Turning Point. They continued on with that model,

00:02:00.440 but it has not been without criticism from, I don't even want to say the public because I don't

00:02:05.680 think it's a widely held opinion, but the people who are chronically online, the crazy conspiracy

00:02:13.300 theorists. So I figured I would just bring you guys with me today and you get to see kind of

00:02:18.140 the environment of the turning point ecosystem and the family here. Um, and that word family,

00:02:23.820 we don't use it lightly. Um, everyone here, it genuinely is like when you go through something

00:02:29.160 like what we all did, what the world did, um, on nine, 10, but people who, I mean, who, who

00:02:35.460 personally knew Charlie, as opposed to just watching him on Tik TOK or on your Facebook

00:02:40.340 reels or Instagram reels, where you feel like you have that connection of knowing him. Um,

00:02:45.180 the Turning Point family did know him. And so you grow, you grow closer together in that. So you

00:02:52.520 guys are going to come along with me and we're going to get ready. I've already done a lot of

00:02:56.560 my makeup. My lips look kind of crazy because I just did my lip liner. I have Caitlin here.

00:03:03.860 Caitlin works for Turning Point too. She's like the contributor manager. So she keeps all of us

00:03:09.720 in check and actually caitlin swam with me in college at kentucky and so went from kentucky

00:03:16.380 to now living in nashville we're like neighbors once upon a time i know

00:03:21.200 let's see putting on deodorant because it's extra hot here in phoenix it's 300 000 degrees

00:03:30.680 actually um how are you feeling about today and just everything definitely feels like a heavy day

00:03:38.960 I think waking up and seeing all the posts on social media and seeing Charlie's face again,

00:03:44.320 it just kind of makes it all real again and doesn't feel like, I don't know, reality in a way,

00:03:50.140 because to, I think a lot of us, Charlie's still here. And so to be reminded of what happened a

00:03:56.680 year ago, um, she just shot her foundation everywhere. Um, what happened a year ago,

00:04:05.340 it's just like reminds you of it and you know what a lot of us saw on social media of that day

00:04:10.680 um but again a reminder like of you know what charlie stood for and what he fought for and

00:04:17.620 a reminder to us to continue on that fight and continue uh you know we're returning point

00:04:23.560 continue on the legacy that he built for turning point and even outside of it people who you know

00:04:28.320 maybe aren't affiliated with turning point um being able to stand up for what is right what

00:04:32.880 is true and what you believe in i think that's everything that charlie wanted was to encourage

00:04:37.520 people to do that and so to see so many young people now and old people even that have been

00:04:43.640 inspired even after his his life is super inspiring to me and is you know today's just a good reminder

00:04:49.800 of that so heavy but also you know inspiring we were in the airport this morning we flew from

00:04:56.020 nashville to phoenix and both in the nashville airport and the phoenix airport we saw so many

00:05:02.160 people wearing freedom shirts um so it was cool it was like a reminder that um like his message

00:05:10.700 didn't die with him um it lives on and I think it showcases just how many people he impacted

00:05:16.760 again people who I just think he had this uncanny ability to like resonate with your average person

00:05:23.920 um I have seen more comments online from people who I mean who say like I didn't personally know

00:05:29.580 Charlie, but I feel like I did. Like, I feel like I lost a friend. I've never, you know, felt like

00:05:35.360 this, um, and you know, witnessing death with anyone else. So, um, he had this like ability

00:05:41.760 to just transcend, um, and to, I don't know, feeling like you knew him personally. So, and we

00:05:48.220 have louie here louie is the best because anytime we um go anywhere like events or dinners or

00:06:03.680 things like this louie is a professional steamer and he steams my clothes otherwise my clothes

00:06:10.320 would not be steamed let me tell you but i've got ocd when it comes to shirts i hate a wrinkled

00:06:16.160 shirt and she's like it's fine now it looks like you just twisted it all up and it's got

00:06:20.900 louie makes a really good housewife yeah yeah i knew i'd make a good wife one day

00:06:34.160 i know holds up wraps up easy that was still hot um this is this is it it's your weapon of choice

00:06:43.140 that's my weapon of choice is a steamer although it is like incredibly handy i think it was on

00:06:49.080 amazon for like what 20 bucks or something a little more than that but it is very nice when

00:07:22.180 any knees the score bet trusted sports content seamless sports betting download today 19 plus

00:07:29.780 Ontario only if you have questions or concerns about your gambling or the gambling of someone

00:07:33.180 close to you please go to conixontario.ca um I'm wearing jean shorts because again it is so

00:07:39.820 hot so hot I thought Tennessee was hot which like I don't know it's just like a different kind of

00:07:47.040 heat in Tennessee it's like a swamp so humid so you feel like gross like your hair is wet

00:07:52.780 anytime you step outside your like palms are sweaty here you feel like you're in an oven

00:07:57.620 like it's very different so I don't I don't actually know which is worse probably humid

00:08:02.800 Caitlin runs with me and there have been some mornings this summer where

00:08:07.900 I mean quite honestly like I'm just not running because it's so human but Caitlin shows up and

00:08:14.080 she runs because she's more dedicated than I it's like the dragging yourself out of bed in the

00:08:19.980 mornings but then once you're up you're up it's fine it's not that bad we're having um it's a

00:08:26.740 very quick turnaround for us today so we flew in this morning and we're going to be sleeping in our 1.00

00:08:32.700 own beds tonight so very quick turnaround that's why we are missing a bambina oh yeah and we don't

00:08:41.240 have margo with us she's with my mom i just figured because number one it's so hot outside

00:08:46.380 and it was such a quick trip um and just the gravity of today um she stayed home with my mom

00:08:53.560 grandma which we call her my mom's name is talisha we talked about this and they asked me anything

00:08:59.860 and just how funny it is that her name is Talisha,

00:09:04.140 given the fact she is so white.

00:09:08.040 But anyways, her girl, my name is Tilly.

00:09:10.020 So Margo is with Tilly right now and I miss her.

00:09:12.580 We were going through the airport

00:09:13.400 and it's like instinctual for us to go to the elevator

00:09:16.920 instead of the escalator

00:09:17.820 because normally we have the stroller with us

00:09:20.160 and we didn't have the stroller today.

00:09:22.400 And so we went to the elevator and we're like,

00:09:24.000 wait, what are we doing?

00:09:25.520 So you don't realize how much time you have,

00:09:28.840 especially on the airplane when you don't have a baby i felt like i don't know like i actually slept

00:09:34.840 on the plane today and if marco were with me i probably wouldn't have been able to do that

00:09:39.700 every single day thousands of women hear the same devastating lie that abortion is their only

00:09:46.400 option that they're alone that there's no hope but uh everything changes the moment a mother in

00:09:52.720 crisis walks into a pre-born network clinic and sees her baby on an ultrasound that one moment

00:09:58.460 doubles her chances of choosing life. Because at that point, it's not just an image on the screen

00:10:04.680 anymore. It's hearing her baby's heartbeat, maybe for the very first time. And in that moment,

00:10:09.720 she realizes the life growing inside of her is not a problem to be solved, but it's a life to

00:10:16.440 be protected. Let's be there for her in that beautiful moment with love and with prayer and

00:10:23.280 with support. One pre-born partner put it this way, knowing my gift could save a life was the

00:10:28.600 most meaningful act of love that I could give. So for just $28, you can partner with my friends

00:10:33.440 at pre-born and provide one life-saving ultrasound. For $140, you can provide five ultrasounds and

00:10:39.860 five chances for life. This is something that I personally give to. I give $140 every month for

00:10:47.360 five ultrasounds. This year, let's really, really try and make it the biggest baby-saving year

00:10:54.880 in history. So take a stand, be bold, speak for those who can't yet speak for themselves.

00:11:01.880 You can call pound 250 and say baby. That's pound 250, 250, and say baby. Or you can visit

00:11:09.580 preborn.com slash defend women. Again, preborn.com slash defend women.

00:11:14.560 we got a rental car from the airport and we got a grenadier is that like the

00:11:22.060 like a defender yeah it's like the new version of the defenders i don't know the defenders

00:11:27.120 and probably most of the women who watch this don't be their british history

00:11:31.820 oh wait is this like a it's like an army car basically it's not an army car it feels like it

00:11:40.520 let me see there's all these buttons here there's all these buttons here

00:11:52.120 you got your off-road mode interior exterior lights yeah you just got everything that you

00:11:59.240 would ever need so we're going to get our caffeine then headed over to turning point headquarters

00:12:06.200 i would describe myself very much as like an emotional avoidant

00:12:12.200 i don't know like i just feel like when things are upsetting or sad i don't want to say that i

00:12:22.160 want like a distraction but i do think i cope with things pretty immaturely or maybe just

00:12:28.380 differently i don't know but it's almost like you just want to avoid that it's even happening

00:12:34.740 or real life and so we're trying to play happy music and have a good time but I have a feeling

00:12:40.780 once we like actually step foot on like the grounds of headquarters that's when it all like

00:12:46.980 becomes really real I think I talked about this in my episode yesterday about Charlie but I've

00:12:57.620 just been so I don't know like the past year anytime a video of him pops up on my screen

00:13:03.000 i think some people enjoy reminiscing and like watching old charlie kirk videos i do not um i

00:13:11.040 do not like seeing it still feels like a punch to the gut like hearing his voice seeing his face

00:13:16.160 um watching old clips seeing how like compassionate he really was he's all the other side labels him 0.60

00:13:25.640 as like racist, misogynist, hateful. If you watch his videos, you would see he is unusually kind

00:13:33.800 and genuine and decent and listens and honest and effective.

00:13:40.780 All right, you guys, I know that electrolyte brands are everywhere right now. So I get the

00:13:45.680 skepticism, but Relight is the one that actually made me pay attention because it starts with

00:13:51.480 Redmond Real Salt. Realite is made by Redmond, the company that's been mining ancient sea salt

00:13:57.100 in Utah of all places since 1958. So instead of like this mystery sodium and a bunch of other

00:14:04.280 junk that you don't know how to pronounce, you're getting unrefined real salt with natural trace

00:14:09.820 minerals plus key electrolytes like potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, and coconut water

00:14:15.420 powder in the flavored varieties. And the best part, of course, it's clean, meaning zero sugar,

00:14:20.720 no artificial sweeteners, no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, and no chemical preservatives.

00:14:26.700 So if you're ready to give Relight a try, go to redmond.com slash hydrate, and you can use code

00:14:31.680 hydrate to get 15% off your first order. That is redmond.com slash hydrate. Use code hydrate for

00:14:37.960 15% off your first order, or you can click the link in the video description. You can scan the

00:14:43.080 QR code on your screen, or you can check the pin comment. Okay, we're going on the Charlie Kirk show

00:14:50.180 now um they've kind of had like a charlie kirk show marathon for how long when did the when did

00:14:57.100 the show start today it started going longer i think got it charlie kirk show marathon so

00:15:06.140 we're going on and we get to see the studio where charlie's at

00:15:09.440 Oh, okay.

00:15:10.440 For some reason, I remember every comment, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, my wife,

00:15:16.440 and Tony's house, unfortunately.

00:15:21.440 Yeah.

00:15:22.440 I thought you were burned, sorry.

00:15:36.440 Sorry.

00:15:39.440 you just have to stand

00:15:47.540 yeah

00:15:48.020 great job you guys

00:15:59.160 thank you

00:16:09.440 Well, here I am, Lord.

00:16:17.560 Send me.

00:16:22.300 That's what he believed.

00:16:23.500 Yeah.

00:16:24.380 He wanted to be remembered for courage for his faith,

00:16:27.040 and that's how we remember him.

00:16:29.920 And we have two more friends.

00:16:31.740 And this is what's so amazing about today, actually.

00:16:34.780 We've got a whole thing going on in Dallas,

00:16:36.620 and we have our friends that came to Phoenix.

00:16:39.440 Because of Charlie.

00:16:41.060 And that was, of course, Riley Gaines, turning point contributor.

00:16:45.680 And Joe Bob, one of the opening acts for Charlie for so many campus scores, campus stuff.

00:16:54.160 And now...

00:17:29.300 You have a show on Real America's Voice.

00:17:31.080 And Charlie would be so proud of what you accomplished in the last year at Steve Joe Barth.

00:17:34.760 Listen, sometimes a show is, you know, there's no words for how to navigate a show, and so, I guess, Riley, I'll start with you.

00:17:49.200 You know, in this moment, what are you, what's going through your mind, and what does it stay?

00:17:53.180 all right you guys if you've watched my show before then you've probably heard me talk about

00:18:15.500 my friends at why refi before what they're doing is incredible it's needed so my question for you

00:18:21.760 is, are you struggling with private student loan debt? Is even your minimum payment higher than

00:18:26.560 what you can actually afford? Maybe you're even in default. Well, I have good news. Number one,

00:18:32.460 you're not alone. And number two, why refi can help. They refinance private student loans that

00:18:37.640 other companies, other lenders will not even touch. And they will give you a custom loan

00:18:42.160 payment plan based on your ability to pay. They work with you. They sit down with you one-on-one

00:18:47.540 each borrower individually to craft a payment that works for you. They can help you reduce

00:18:53.180 your monthly costs, your monthly payment and your total costs. You will get a low fixed interest

00:18:57.800 rate. Sometimes they see as low as 1%. You can get that anywhere else. You'll be able to see

00:19:03.460 the light at the end of the tunnel. And the best part is why refi does not care what your credit

00:19:08.820 score is. This is good news. Is private student loan debt wrecking your life and destroying your

00:19:16.140 dreams and the future that you envision for yourself. You do not have to live with this

00:19:20.420 sort of stress or worry anymore. Just go to why refi.com. That is why R E F Y.com. And be sure
