00:02:29.420 I've got a special guest coming on now for Human Events Daily.

00:02:32.980 First time that he's ever been on my show, but I've been on his show.

00:02:37.500 It's Leland Vittert of NewsNation.

00:02:39.640 What's up, Leland?

00:02:40.820 Jack, good to see you.

00:02:41.700 Thank you.

00:02:43.380 Thanks for coming on.

00:02:45.240 And I just wanted to say, you know, so you and I got to, didn't know each other too well,

00:02:48.740 but, you know, you really came out and did great coverage of when Charlie passed away,

00:02:55.420 his murder, his memorial.

00:02:57.380 You came out and did several days, I believe, of shows out there, even directly from the

00:03:02.360 vigil itself right outside of our Turning Point headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona.

00:03:06.680 And I just wanted to say thank you for giving it the spotlight that you did and for coming

00:03:11.560 out.

00:03:11.860 And I know it's not easy to make the trek, but I, you know, myself and, you know, a lot

00:03:15.900 of the people that, that work with Charlie, that knew Charlie, we really appreciated it.

00:03:18.940 Well, you're nice to say that.

00:03:20.940 And we appreciated you, the very warm reception from TPUSA and the folks there.

00:03:26.780 You know, when we obviously learned about Charlie's death and saw the effect it was having on the

00:03:33.060 entire country, I think it was something that we needed to be at.

00:03:35.900 Um, and it's one of the things I love about NewsNation is our connection to our audience

00:03:40.280 that really responded to that.

00:03:42.500 Um, and the, the nerve that Charlie's assassination touched, uh, NewsNation outrated both CNN and

00:03:52.760 MSNBC during, uh, before, during, and after his funeral service, we covered the whole thing

00:03:57.780 and took the whole thing live.

00:03:58.920 And I think it speaks to Charlie's influence, um, that no one, I think in life probably fully

00:04:05.580 understood.

00:04:06.280 Certainly I didn't, even though I have covered him since 2015 and knew him since 2015, his

00:04:11.740 influence on the national political conversation and the effect that his assassination had is

00:04:16.540 something I think we're still trying to figure out.

00:04:19.400 And, uh, I'll be quiet in a minute, but I would be remiss if I didn't say to you, Jack,

00:04:24.720 that I think the fact that Turning Point in the midst of its founder, leader, sort of spirit

00:04:33.220 animal, everything Charlie was in the midst of his assassination and that grief and that

00:04:38.360 sadness to be able to pull off an event, uh, and fill a football stadium and a basketball

00:04:44.020 stadium to memorialize him.

00:04:46.980 Those are the kinds of events that take months to plan, you know, political conventions with

00:04:51.420 the president and the vice president and everything else.

00:04:53.440 And Turning Point did it in a week.

00:04:55.920 And it speaks to the just incredible organization and professionalism, uh, that Charlie built

00:05:01.480 that I think people just did not really understand and appreciate in his, uh, living time.

00:05:07.240 No.

00:05:07.740 And, and, and I thank you for that as well.

00:05:09.460 The entire team there, Turning Point USA, Turning Point Action, the, and it's, it's just

00:05:13.680 the people that Charlie brought together.

00:05:15.020 It's the talent that he saw.

00:05:16.920 It was his ability to, and I think a lot of people didn't, you know, he would always joke

00:05:20.400 with me and he would say, you know, you know, Jack, if I fail at this politics thing, I'll

00:05:24.960 go and be a college football coach.

00:05:26.880 I'm going to go SEC.

00:05:28.440 And, uh, you know, people, you know, see the videos of Charlie and he could throw the

00:05:31.920 long ball.

00:05:32.300 He really could.

00:05:32.800 He's a great basketball player too.

00:05:34.120 And he honestly could have probably considered, you know, considered or pursued a career in

00:05:37.900 that if he wanted to, but it was his ability to see talent and then put people who had

00:05:44.000 that talent in places where it made sense was how he built those organizations.

00:05:49.180 And he was making them bigger and bigger, the events and the organization was getting

00:05:53.520 larger.

00:05:53.900 And obviously now it's exploded in terms of size and growth and interest since his

00:05:59.560 assassination.

00:06:00.360 But, but it was because he built everything to put, you know, everyone who was there and,

00:06:06.860 you know, whatever small role I played, you know, to also kind of just be on the front

00:06:11.000 lines and have a front row seat to all of that as it was going on around me or, you know,

00:06:15.720 pick up the phone.

00:06:16.380 Hey, can we get this thing?

00:06:17.620 Can we get that thing?

00:06:18.400 And, and everybody just said, yes.

00:06:20.200 I mean, it was one of those situations where everybody was just saying yes to everything.

00:06:23.200 When, whenever we needed something, the Cardinal stadium was fantastic.

00:06:26.760 They were phenomenal to work with.

00:06:28.340 I mean, they just said, yes, of course, right away.

00:06:30.240 So many people really stepped up and even, you know, even stories about people that I'm

00:06:34.080 not really at liberty to say because they wanted to help out, but didn't necessarily

00:06:37.560 want, want to get credit for it or anything like that.

00:06:40.500 They just wanted to do it because it was the right thing.

00:06:42.380 And I, I, I, you know, look, none of it makes what happened right, but it was, it was truly

00:06:47.900 an amazing thing to just be a very, very small part of that, that I was.

00:06:52.700 And, you know, that was Charlie, right?

00:06:54.060 That was Charlie understanding his ability.

00:06:56.420 And, uh, you know, I, it struck me that day when I walked in to the stadium and that Charlie

00:07:02.880 had always told us that he wanted to do a stadium show.

00:07:05.140 He always, he had always said that.

00:07:07.160 And, and it was sort of his, his vision and he would send us messages.

00:07:10.940 This is the vision.

00:07:11.840 This is the vision.

00:07:12.700 And we finally got there.

00:07:13.980 And, and in a sense, and I know, you know, he's looking down, but in a sense, you know,

00:07:18.060 he knew that maybe on some level, he knew that we'd get there without him physically

00:07:21.880 being present.

00:07:22.560 Yep.

00:07:25.700 Well said, but you know, one of the things that you passed me that, you know, in, in

00:07:30.480 the midst of all this, and I had no idea that this was going on, you've just released it.

00:07:34.940 You're now a New York times, bestselling author.

00:07:36.960 You debuted at number four.

00:07:39.420 You've written this incredible book.

00:07:41.460 It's, it's a memoir in a sense.

00:07:44.300 It's, it's, it's about yourself.

00:07:45.820 It's about your father, your relationship with your father, but also, and this is really

00:07:49.640 one for so much of the Maha audience.

00:07:51.600 This is an issue that we've talked about a ton from Bobby Kennedy and his work and Nicole

00:07:56.340 Shanahan and her work about living with autism and growing up with autism.

00:08:02.980 It's called born lucky.

00:08:05.000 You've received an incredible response for it and well-deserved because I've had a chance

00:08:09.620 to flip through.

00:08:10.500 I haven't read it all yet, but I've, you know, flipped through a lot of it.

00:08:12.740 I mean, this is an incredible story.

00:08:15.400 What was it like, you know, coming out and publicly telling your story like this?

00:08:19.480 It couldn't have been easy.

00:08:21.220 No.

00:08:21.740 And, you know, Jack, you're nice to say everything you did about the book for 42 years.

00:08:27.840 I didn't talk to anybody about this.

00:08:31.640 You know, my, my parents didn't tell anyone, no teachers, no counselors, no friends, nobody

00:08:36.660 that I had been diagnosed when I was five or six years old.

00:08:41.320 And through all of that, you know, we as a family handled everything together, the learning

00:08:48.180 disabilities, the bullying, the isolation, the emotional trauma and difficulties.

00:08:53.880 And now at 43 going through therapy, if you will, on national television is not exactly

00:09:02.600 a thrilling experience, but it has been proven worth it because of the hundreds, if not thousands

00:09:10.560 of emails, social media responses, everything I have gotten to born lucky because born lucky

00:09:16.460 is hope for every parent of a kid having a hard time.

00:09:21.600 Doesn't matter if it's autism or ADHD or anxiety or bullying or the social media disasters that

00:09:27.200 kids go through, whatever it is.

00:09:29.040 This is proof of the power and agency that parents have.

00:09:33.200 And I think you're very right to point out parents aren't told that.

00:09:36.100 They're not told how much power they have to help their kids and shown.

00:09:40.080 Uh, they're told to just put their kids in bubble wrap and meet them where they are.

00:09:44.160 My dad chose to try and adapt the world to me rather than adapt me to the world, um, is

00:09:51.820 very different, um, than what's out there right now.

00:09:54.800 And born lucky, I think is showing how many families that are having a hard time that they

00:10:00.160 are not alone.

00:10:02.620 Well, and I just have to say it because it's, you know, there's obviously when, when we look

00:10:06.900 at what Bobby Kennedy's doing and Nicole Shanahan and they, and there's so many parents out

00:10:12.000 there that are dealing with, uh, these issues or have children who are dealing with these

00:10:16.740 issues and they want to know what to do.

00:10:18.360 So even you just coming out and being public about your diagnosis and being public about

00:10:23.300 your childhood and then, you know, by the, I, you know, I don't know how to say this without

00:10:28.760 coming across the route.

00:10:29.620 I had no idea.

00:10:30.380 I just shocked.

00:10:31.240 I was just completely shocked when you said that.

00:10:33.380 And even I'm, I'm rarely speechless, but I'm like, what, you know, it just, it made

00:10:38.300 no sense whatsoever.

00:10:39.160 And I'm reading through this and I, and I realized that that's why you wrote the book.

00:10:43.680 It's because of the effect of your father, the effect of growing up the way that you

00:10:48.100 did.

00:10:48.560 And it's, it's a testament to the fact that other people can do this as well.

00:10:54.500 And what this is not for them.

00:10:57.840 Yeah.

00:10:58.820 Born lucky isn't a prescription or a cure, right, Jack?

00:11:01.160 It is this story about what great parenting can do.

00:11:05.760 George will wrote the forward and he said, this is proof of the mountain moving power of

00:11:10.440 parental love, which parents aren't told, you know, being a strong parent isn't celebrated

00:11:15.080 right now.

00:11:15.620 This is proof of what strong parenting can do.

00:11:18.620 And you think about when I was about six years old, my parents were told they had to

00:11:22.000 have me evaluated worst thing any parent can hear.

00:11:24.580 So they take me to one of those medical testing centers and they're in there for a couple

00:11:29.520 of hours waiting for me in the waiting room.

00:11:31.220 We've all been there, linoleum floors, stale coffee, old magazines.

00:11:35.440 The woman comes out. 0.85

00:11:36.860 Speaking of waiting, we're going to have to wait to catch the end of that because we are

00:11:39.760 up on a quick break, a hard stop, but I'll hold you right there.

00:11:42.980 And we'll come back right after the break.

00:11:44.520 We've been bitter here on Human Events Daily.

00:11:46.420 Jack is a great guy.

00:11:53.740 He's written a fantastic book.

00:11:55.500 Everybody's talking about it.

00:11:56.660 Go get it.

00:11:57.760 And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.

00:12:01.740 And we're going to turn it around and make our country great.

00:12:04.800 Amen.

00:12:05.240 All right, Jack, we're back on with Leland Vittert.

00:12:11.480 He's here joining us from News Nation.

00:12:13.120 We're not talking about the news.

00:12:14.480 We're talking about his new book, Born Lucky, all about the role that parents can have and

00:12:22.500 the incredible role that parents have and coming forward with his own story of growing

00:12:28.180 up with a diagnosis of autism.

00:12:30.620 So, Leland, where we where we left everyone, the cliffhanger was that they're in the waiting

00:12:34.460 room.

00:12:34.880 They're looking at the linoleum floors.

00:12:36.640 They've got that disgusting prison halogen lighting, which I hate so much.

00:12:41.660 What happens next?

00:12:43.120 So they're waiting for their little boy, six years old, me to be brought back after all

00:12:47.540 of this testing.

00:12:48.340 And the woman says there's very, very difficult things going on with him and hard to understand

00:12:56.580 what's going on inside his mind, meaning mine.

00:12:59.740 Huge behavioral issues.

00:13:01.840 Forget birthday parties or play dates.

00:13:03.780 That wasn't happening.

00:13:04.480 But if a kid touched me in school, I'd turn around and slug him.

00:13:07.140 And I was a fat little kid, so I could do some damage.

00:13:10.160 That was the behavioral issues and couldn't relate to kids my own age.

00:13:12.860 Number two, terrible sensory issues.

00:13:15.260 If there were socks on my feet that I didn't like or a jacket I didn't like or whatever,

00:13:19.340 I would just melt down.

00:13:20.980 And third, big learning disability.

00:13:23.180 So an IQ test is that the halves of an IQ are put together to form your IQ score.

00:13:30.060 My two halves had a 70-point spread.

00:13:33.100 It was the biggest spread they'd ever seen between the two halves.

00:13:35.480 20-point was a learning disability.

00:13:36.900 She said to my parents, we've never seen anything like this.

00:13:39.060 It's very difficult to understand what's going on inside his head.

00:13:41.740 So, Jack, you're a father.

00:13:43.180 Any father goes, all right, what do we do?

00:13:45.080 And then one says, there's not much you can do.

00:13:47.100 And the woman goes, you know, just sort of meet him where he's at.

00:13:51.300 My dad goes, is there anything we can do?

00:13:54.040 And then she goes, generally not.

00:13:56.760 And so I wrote Born Lucky to give parents the hope that my parents didn't have, that

00:14:01.740 they could make such a difference.

00:14:02.820 My dad decided he was going to adapt me to the world.

00:14:05.880 So no special time on tests, no, you know, accommodations in school, no discussions with

00:14:13.480 teachers or principals or anybody about my diagnosis.

00:14:15.880 And he said, look, he's not going to be good at school.

00:14:19.120 He's not going to be good at having friends.

00:14:21.480 He's not going to be good at athletics.

00:14:22.480 The three things that kids normally get self-esteem from.

00:14:24.560 So he started when I was five or six years old, having me do 200 pushups a day to try

00:14:29.820 and teach me what self-esteem was, what hard work was.

00:14:32.580 He said, there's two things you can control in life, your character and your work ethic.

00:14:36.440 And if you take pride in those two, that is going to make all of the difference for you.

00:14:41.780 And that began him being my first and for 18 years only friend as he helped me adapt all

00:14:49.760 the way through high school and college.

00:14:51.760 That's incredible.

00:14:54.440 Now, do you still do the 200 pushups a day?

00:14:58.440 No, no, I still, I still, I still run five miles about three times a week and I lift

00:15:07.160 the other three times a week.

00:15:08.340 So the physical fitness part, and I, and I think it's, it's interesting, but you kept

00:15:12.660 the physical fitness.

00:15:13.360 Of course.

00:15:13.820 Well, no.

00:15:14.540 And I got to tell you, you know, as we've is, is autism has become in the news and we

00:15:18.040 didn't write this knowing that Bobby Kennedy was going to start making autism.

00:15:21.760 The scientific question of our time, which I'm so happy it is now and hopeful that nobody

00:15:27.000 has to go through the hell that I went through as a kid.

00:15:29.860 But I think the push for physical fitness for kids, especially kids who are having a hard

00:15:37.780 time, whatever that means, autism, ADHD, anxiety, spectrum, whatever it is, it was such an enormous

00:15:43.600 part of my life and so helpful and still is.

00:15:46.100 I'm just happy people are talking about it.

00:15:49.240 Well, no, that's exactly right.

00:15:50.560 And so one of the pieces that I, I, I mean, it just shocked me that it, it, it jumped out

00:15:55.420 at me in the book other than the 200 pushups was the fact that your father quit his job

00:16:01.400 to be able to spend more time with you.

00:16:03.920 You referred to him as a full-time parent coach.

00:16:07.080 So how does that even work from just, just a household perspective?

00:16:12.140 It's a great question.

00:16:13.540 You know, first to tell you that dad was fortunate.

00:16:16.600 We were fortunate.

00:16:18.000 He had started a few companies and done quite well.

00:16:20.840 But certainly was in the, the high, you know, the, the pinnacle of his career.

00:16:24.500 He was, you know, doing phenomenal, you know, sort of, there was so much more he could have

00:16:28.280 done and knew that.

00:16:29.080 And he said, I'm going to take a step back.

00:16:30.420 Uh, and he, he said to me that I knew your only chance, meaning my only chance was for

00:16:36.820 him to be there before I went to school.

00:16:39.440 And when I got home and I said, well, dad, as we were working on this book, cause you

00:16:42.280 know, he didn't tell me I had this diagnosis until I was in my twenties.

00:16:45.320 We never really talked about it.

00:16:46.280 But as I started interviewing him for the book, I said, what would you have done if you couldn't

00:16:50.560 have quit your job?

00:16:51.360 You know, if you couldn't have been financially secure.

00:16:53.720 And he said, simple.

00:16:54.320 He said, I would have worked the night shift because I realized I was going to be your only friend.

00:16:58.800 And the only chance you had was for me to be there with you, to put you back together

00:17:03.340 every day.

00:17:05.020 And by that, I mean, you know, there was no taking away the adversity.

00:17:09.680 There was no accommodations or, you know, behavioral accommodations or academic accommodations.

00:17:16.240 He said, you're going to have to endure the bullying.

00:17:18.460 You're going to have to go through the, the isolation and the physical bullying and the

00:17:22.260 emotional, uh, heartaches.

00:17:24.940 I mean, you know, you think about it, there was a teacher, I think, you know, you know what

00:17:27.840 kids do.

00:17:28.480 The kids were so bad to me in fifth grade.

00:17:30.340 My dad, uh, came to visit me one day and they had put me with the girls in PE for a

00:17:34.120 few months.

00:17:34.900 Uh, he found that out.

00:17:36.140 Imagine what that does to a father because, uh, I was so, uh, bullied, but by seventh

00:17:42.180 and eighth grade, I was in class one day.

00:17:44.440 So the kids were mean to me and the teachers were too.

00:17:46.760 You know, I had an art teacher who didn't think I was going to become Picasso.

00:17:49.500 And this art teacher said in front of the entire class, you know, if my dog was as ugly

00:17:54.940 as you, Vitter, I'd shave its ass and make it walk backwards. 1.00

00:17:59.880 Think about doing that to a kid.

00:18:01.740 And so I'd come home.

00:18:02.840 I was totally distraught as I was every day.

00:18:04.660 And my dad sort of patched me back together.

00:18:06.900 What dad didn't tell me, Jack, was that, uh, middle school is great training for a Washington 0.82

00:18:10.980 newsroom.

00:18:11.520 And then he would make me inside joke, but that's a good one.

00:18:18.520 It's true.

00:18:19.520 Um, and then he would get me, you know, he would put me back together and he would make

00:18:22.980 me, you know, go to school the next day.

00:18:25.180 But what I didn't know until we started working on the book and I interviewed him and my mom

00:18:29.280 is that, you know, he would leave my bedroom every night after two or three hours of me

00:18:33.020 taking my frustrations and emotions out on him.

00:18:35.480 And that he would go downstairs late into the night and sit in the living room and cry

00:18:39.760 himself, um, just because of the emotional toll this was all taking, uh, on him.

00:18:44.660 And I just think it's a, a remarkable story also about my dad.

00:18:49.180 And, you know, I, I really great and honored.

00:18:51.980 So many have come on the born lucky journey and it's a New York times bestseller.

00:18:54.960 And I said to my dad last night, when I saw him, I said, you know, dad, um, being a bestseller

00:18:59.380 to author is nice.

00:19:00.280 I said, but you are the subject of a bestselling New York times book.

00:19:03.400 Um, which I think is a really fitting tribute, um, to all he did and all he sacrificed.

00:19:10.200 I mean, I, I, I, I can tell how much you love your dad and how important your dad is.

00:19:16.680 And, you know, my, my dad, um, look, and we didn't have that kind of, uh, situation, but

00:19:23.380 I mean, we've got that kind of relationship and, and, and my dad is absolutely the person

00:19:27.640 that I go to for, for all of it.

00:19:30.260 And, uh, you know, I, I, I remember when, when Charlie got, uh, when Charlie got shot, you

00:19:36.420 know, my dad just, just gave me a call and he was, he was just calling me like every single

00:19:41.160 day, even.

00:19:42.060 So we, you know, I pull out to Phoenix, but then my dad was still calling me just every

00:19:45.220 day.

00:19:45.480 Hey, just, just calling, you know, literally just that, just calling, just checking in on

00:19:50.740 you and making sure you're good boy.

00:19:51.820 You know, uh, sunny boy, he always calls me sunny boy.

00:19:54.980 I, I, I noticed I've pulled some, some of the foundational parenting principles out of

00:19:58.960 this though, have no expectations about the future, right?

00:20:02.220 You're not setting expectations.

00:20:04.180 Never allow your child to feel they've disappointed you.

00:20:07.220 You mentioned the depository of the frustrations, just listening, literally just listening before

00:20:11.720 school late into night.

00:20:13.360 And then, and I love this line, by the way, the currency of high school and, you know, middle

00:20:18.960 school as well is not the currency of life.

00:20:22.400 Man, there, you, we put so much pressure on kids, right?

00:20:25.680 When hormones are hitting them, we do the hierarchy, we're ranking and stacking everybody.

00:20:29.720 And it's like, for what, like what, you know, and that was that there's that joke about people

00:20:33.300 peaking in, in high school that exists.

00:20:35.620 And it's like, none of us, you know, you know, go back to any of that.

00:20:39.360 Guess what?

00:20:39.660 You can't take it with you.

00:20:41.120 I, I love so much of what's in there.

00:20:43.640 We've got a minute left.

00:20:45.040 Tell people just final sentence on the book and where they can go get it.

00:20:48.960 Well, Born Lucky is back in stock on Amazon.

00:20:52.120 I know Jack is going to tweet out the link and put it on social media, much bigger social

00:20:55.900 media following than I have.

00:20:57.480 Born Lucky, so we'd be honored to come on this journey with us.

00:20:59.800 And I'll tell you, Jack, you brought up, you know, Charlie Kirk's funeral where this

00:21:03.320 started.

00:21:03.820 The only other time I ever felt the kind of emotion I felt at Charlie Kirk's funeral was

00:21:07.660 in Tahrir Square, the night Mubarak resigned.

00:21:10.360 And that's sort of one of the stories in the book about the rest of my life and what

00:21:15.540 my dad was able to set me up for was to be able to go overseas, become a foreign correspondent

00:21:20.020 and now have a wife and a wonderful chance that I would have never had had he not shown

00:21:24.780 all that dedication.

00:21:25.800 No, I mean, and you've been all around the world.

00:21:29.020 You've covered so many, obviously, very tight situations.

00:21:32.580 And, you know, it all started with 200 pushups a day with dad back home.

00:21:37.660 Born Lucky is the book.

00:21:39.480 Leland Vittert, go check it out.

00:21:41.520 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay a short.
