Juno News - Kirk’s influence on the next generation of activists

00:00:00.000 I wanted to get your perspective on this. First off, how are you doing?

00:00:04.540 I'm doing fine. It did hit me really hard when this happened, because I think that you couldn't

00:00:10.240 say anything more than that Charlie Kirk was a deeply decent man. And I think what really made

00:00:15.920 him a powerful person is that before politics and before everything, the man loved God first.

00:00:21.980 And so that drove the way that he did everything. And when you're at a conference like we were at

00:00:28.660 a few days ago. This was just a Canada Strong and Free Network. It wasn't a TPUSA event, but

00:00:34.980 everything felt like it was kind of influenced by Charlie Kirk, because so many ways that we do

00:00:40.600 things in Canadian politics, in American politics, is based off of things that Charlie Kirk had just

00:00:47.160 been pioneering over the past few years, which was direct conversation, direct grassroots organizing,

00:00:54.140 you know an opposition to radicalism and I think like a lot of young people I even though I was

00:01:02.740 never like somebody who met him in real life even things I do on my own show I'd taken from things

00:01:08.700 that Charlie Kirk had done like I'd gotten inspiration from the way that he had done a lot

00:01:15.220 of political organizing on the ground tried to engage people not just wanting people to you know

00:01:20.560 watch content but also go

00:01:22.800 out there and then get involved themselves

00:01:24.460 so yeah it was

00:01:25.880 he's going to

00:01:27.600 be sort of trite to say because I think a lot

00:01:30.840 of people are going to keep saying

00:01:32.820 it but I think it's right that

00:01:34.380 it's going to be a big void

00:01:36.200 left for people to fill considering

00:01:38.660 all the work he had done that I don't think

00:01:40.640 can be easily replicated
