00:01:36.000 Chris, how you doing, man?
00:01:37.000 Charlie, thanks for having me.
00:01:38.000 He runs Rumble.
00:01:40.000 Rumble.com and the Rumble app.
00:01:42.000 We love Rumble.
00:01:43.000 We are live on Rumble many, many hours a day.
00:01:46.000 I think we might stream close to as many hours as anybody on the platform every day.
00:01:51.000 You guys are on, like, yeah, you're right, like, at least three, four hours every day, and then sometimes on Thursday, another three or four hours.
00:01:57.000 Another three or four hours, and we do evenings.
00:01:59.000 I mean, just in the last week, we have done 26 hours on Rumble.
00:02:04.000 That's incredible.
00:02:04.000 We love that.
00:02:05.000 We want more, too.
00:02:06.000 Keep it coming.
00:02:06.000 Rumble is the future.
00:02:08.000 Give us an update, and also just a little bit of the backstory about this remarkable company that you have founded that has become a multi-billion dollar juggernaut.
00:02:17.000 Yeah, so I've been in the business for two decades now.
00:02:23.000 It was around 2013 when we started Rumble, late 2013, and it was based simply on the premise of helping the small creator getting the distribution and monetization that they weren't getting on the incumbent platforms.
00:02:34.000 We started to notice that, like, YouTube and all these other platforms were starting to preference big influencers, big creators, brands, corporations, and then we started Rumble on the premise of kind of helping the small guy, our friends, family, aunts, and uncle.
00:02:48.000 Fast forward six years, summer of 2020, I get a call from the Ranking member of the U.S.
00:02:56.000 House Intel Committee, Congressman Devin Nunes, and he asks me a really simple question.
00:03:00.000 He's like, Chris, if I bring my podcast to Rumble and people search for my name, am I going to find it?
00:03:07.000 And I'm like, yeah, thinking I was under some kind of investigation.
00:03:11.000 Exactly.
00:03:12.000 And so he brings his podcast to Rumble.
00:03:15.000 Within two to three months, he has two to three hundred thousand subscribers, whereas in his district in California, he's an elected representative in California.
00:03:24.000 He's got, in his district, advertising his YouTube channel for four years, and he only accumulated, in four years, 10,000 subscribers, whereas on Rumble, in two to three months, he had two to three hundred thousand subscribers.
00:03:35.000 Call that censorship, call that shadow banning, call it whatever you like.
00:03:39.000 Fast forward, you know, six, seven months past that, Dan Bongino ends up joining in investing.
00:03:46.000 And then, actually, in April of 2021, I think it was you and JD Vance that came in as first investors in Rumble.
00:03:55.000 So, thank you for that, by the way.
00:03:57.000 Thank you for recognizing that.
00:03:58.000 I've said I've invested in Rumble before, but yeah, we were right there in the first round.
00:04:03.000 Yeah, it was... Big believers.
00:04:05.000 Yeah, you've been there from the very beginning.
00:04:06.000 The first crew to come in to help invest in Rumble.
00:04:10.000 You guys kind of saw it early on.
00:04:13.000 So thank you for that.
00:04:14.000 So then post that, we had by late 2022, we went public on the NASDAQ under ticker RUM with a multi-billion dollar valuation.
00:04:22.000 And now we're here at the RNC in Milwaukee.
00:04:25.000 You have Russell Brand now.
00:04:26.000 You're the biggest names in media.
00:04:28.000 How did you do that?
00:04:30.000 You know what?
00:04:32.000 What ended up happening in the last four years is that, and you know this better than anybody else, is that authenticity is something people are seeking.
00:04:40.000 And you can't be authentic on any of the other platforms right now.
00:04:45.000 So back in 2021, it was just us.
00:04:47.000 If you had an opinion on COVID, if you had an opinion on the elections, And it didn't go with the narrative of the incumbent platforms.
00:04:55.000 They were they were going to shadow ban you.
00:04:56.000 They were going to demonetize you or take you out.
00:04:58.000 So it was just us.
00:05:00.000 And we had a lot of creators, including yourself, Russell Brand, Dan Bongino, all kind of move over to Rumble during those years.
00:05:08.000 And, you know, as we get closer to today, we have, you know, True Social now.
00:05:13.000 We have X. We have a lot of talk about the cloud that you guys are building as well.
00:05:18.000 So, obviously, in order to be able to defend against the this relentless attacks from the corporate media, relentless attacks from big tech, we need to be able to have our own infrastructure.
00:05:29.000 You cannot survive right now on in this environment if you do not own your own infrastructure.
00:05:35.000 So when you guys came in, one of the things that I spoke to you and to JD was that we need to have our own infrastructure.
00:05:42.000 So we built that quickly and fast starting in 2021 and we launched that public cloud to the rest of the the world here in 2024.
00:05:51.000 We have customers like Trump Media and Technology Group using the cloud.
00:05:56.000 We have TimCast using our cloud.
00:05:57.000 We have a lot of different companies now using that cloud.
00:05:59.000 So That's been a very important piece of the puzzle because you can't have authentic speech if you're sitting on any of the incumbent technology.
00:06:10.000 And so the movement of Rumble right now in an election year is very important because in 2020 we saw widespread censorship and you guys were not a player.
00:06:21.000 You guys are not a political company, you are a free speech platform.
00:06:25.000 But, for example, if the Intel Agency showed up and said, you must censor Charlie Kirk, what would you say to that?
00:06:31.000 And that's not a hypothetical, actually.
00:06:33.000 So, what we've actually had happen, this is the most ironic, I'll tell you something very ironic, but we have governments from around the world asking to remove creators all the time.
00:06:46.000 This is new to our news.
00:06:48.000 So governments are coming to you to say... Can you give an example of a creator?
00:06:48.000 What do you mean?
00:06:52.000 Okay, so let's start with France, for example.
00:06:56.000 Who just was heckling me.
00:06:58.000 So France came to us to remove RT.
00:07:01.000 This was a couple of years ago.
00:07:02.000 Russian television.
00:07:04.000 Russian television, a whole bunch of other Russian channels, and we basically said go pound sand.
00:07:11.000 They're not violating our policies.
00:07:14.000 We're not going to comply with your request to remove someone just because you don't like them.
00:07:19.000 So we told them to go pound sand.
00:07:21.000 And the most ironic thing is that the Russian government comes to request to remove content on Rumble.
00:07:28.000 In Russia?
00:07:29.000 The Russian government.
00:07:30.000 On Rumble.
00:07:32.000 Generally, on the whole platform.
00:07:33.000 Is it different by country or no?
00:07:35.000 It's, every country has different requests.
00:07:37.000 So the Russian government said, hey, we didn't like this channel, this channel, and that channel.
00:07:40.000 So if I open up Rumble in Moscow, it's the same as if it's in San Francisco?
00:07:44.000 We are now blocked in Russia.
00:07:46.000 Okay.
00:07:46.000 Ironically.
00:07:47.000 So we allowed our team to... So you can't be accused of being a Russian agent?
00:07:52.000 No, no.
00:07:52.000 And the crazy part here is that, guess who's operating in Russia right now?
00:07:56.000 And who's complying?
00:07:57.000 They must be complying.
00:07:59.000 YouTube?
00:07:59.000 YouTube.
00:08:00.000 Wow.
00:08:00.000 So that means that they're doing what the Russian government wants them to do then?
00:08:03.000 Correct.
00:08:05.000 That's fascinating.
00:08:06.000 It is fascinating.
00:08:07.000 So you do not bend a knee to any government that says you must remove a creator?
00:08:12.000 Our policy is to stick to our policy and within the bounds of the law of the United States.
00:08:19.000 We are not a Chinese company.
00:08:20.000 We are not a French company.
00:08:22.000 We are not A Brazilian company.
00:08:25.000 Yes.
00:08:25.000 We are an American company and those are the rules that we're going to stick to and that's how we're going to run this company.
00:08:31.000 What the big problem that happened with big tech is that every tech company ends up complying to other governments and they no longer become they're no longer an American company they become a they become a globalist company a nationals company that's complying and Taking orders from other governments that don't have the same values that we have.
00:08:49.000 And that takes a lot of courage because your life would conceivably be easier if you kind of colluded with the government, wouldn't it?
00:08:56.000 It'd be much easier if you... If we want to operate in China, we would do everything that China wants us to do.
00:09:02.000 Is YouTube allowed in China anymore or no?
00:09:04.000 I'm unsure.
00:09:06.000 I think they have their own thing.
00:09:08.000 Yeah, I'm not very familiar with the Chinese market, but I think it's Weibo that's very popular there.
00:09:16.000 But when it comes to another foreign country asking us to censor creators like yourself or anyone else on the platform that doesn't violate, our answer is go pound sand.
00:09:26.000 Get out of here.
00:09:27.000 We don't care.
00:09:28.000 And so for you, this is a deeply held belief based on principle.
00:09:33.000 Because, and your first responsibility is the fiduciary of your shareholders, myself included, right?
00:09:41.000 But through that, though, is a principle of your policy, which is that, as a company, we believe free speech is paramount.
00:09:48.000 Absolutely.
00:09:50.000 Freedom of expression, free speech is built from the ground up at Rumble.
00:09:55.000 Every employee believes in it.
00:09:57.000 Everybody in our entire spectrum of our company believes in it.
00:10:01.000 We sold that to our shareholders.
00:10:03.000 That's what we're going to be.
00:10:05.000 That's why I invest.
00:10:06.000 And we must always be that.
00:10:09.000 Now, in addition to that, and I think people forget that free speech is not only is it the First Amendment, but it is a human right.
00:10:17.000 Yes.
00:10:17.000 You don't have movements across the country, civil rights movements, women's rights movements, without freedom of expression.
00:10:23.000 You cannot be a fully human person without freedom of speech.
00:10:26.000 Really quick, Chris, can you tell our audience, calls to action, what to download, what to look for, what are you guys rolling out here?
00:10:35.000 So, you know, we have Rumble where creators can go and livestream.
00:10:39.000 We just launched Rumble Studio.
00:10:40.000 So download the Rumble app.
00:10:41.000 Definitely download the Rumble app.
00:10:42.000 Download the Rumble Studio app if you're a creator and you want to go live and make money.
00:10:46.000 We use it all the time.
00:10:48.000 And do live reads from the studio.
00:10:50.000 If you're interested in cloud, go to rumble.cloud.

00:11:01.000 You have been awesome to work with.
00:11:02.000 This is such an exciting company.
00:11:04.000 I think we're at the dawn of Rumble.
00:11:06.000 I think that there is a... I fully agree.
00:11:08.000 A 50 to 100 times X growth curve that could occur, because right now the environment is ready for major disruptions in this space.
00:11:17.000 And I think the rest of the country is starting to wake up to it.
00:11:19.000 And I see this broadening.
00:11:21.000 We just had a record according to stream charts in terms of live streamers just the last couple weeks.
00:11:26.000 So I think this is it.
00:11:28.000 We hit our record at the Trump assassination attempt.
00:11:31.000 We had 240,000 concurrence on Rumble.
00:11:34.000 Wow.
00:11:36.000 When you put that in person... What's the all-time record?
00:11:39.000 The all-time record for all... Or Crowder?
00:11:42.000 No, I think it's, uh... Sneeko or something?
00:11:45.000 Andrew Tate.
00:11:46.000 Oh, probably, yeah.
00:11:47.000 When he came back for the first time.
00:11:48.000 It was like 1.2 million or something, probably?
00:11:49.000 It was 400-and-something thousand.
00:11:51.000 So, I'm not... I wasn't far.
00:11:53.000 You know, you're... Listen, Rumble's record, like, collectively, according to stream charts, is over... just over 700,000.
00:11:59.000 So, like, having 200,000, that doesn't happen on the internet, like, at all.
00:12:04.000 Really quick here, Chris.
00:12:05.000 So, download the Rumble app.
00:12:06.000 What are the other calls to action?
00:12:08.000 If you're looking for cloud, you go to rumble.cloud.
00:12:10.000 If you're looking to advertise or you have a website that you want to monetize, go to rumbleads.com.
00:12:16.000 And also, Real America's Voice, you're working hand-in-hand, it seems.
00:12:19.000 Real America's Voice is streaming a lot of content there.
00:12:20.000 They just brought on Weather Nation.
00:12:22.000 Isn't that awesome?
00:12:24.000 If you want to watch these shows, and you want to watch them on the big screen, we're across all the different TV apps, including we just launched on Xbox.
00:12:34.000 That should be out very shortly as well.
00:12:36.000 So you can sit on your couch and you can watch Real America's Voice right from your couch now, and you don't need to do it on your phone all the time.
00:12:42.000 I'm so excited about the future of Rumble, and I'm honored to be part of it.
00:12:46.000 I was like, kind of an initial... No, Charlie, you've been one of the first believers in Rumble.
00:12:51.000 You were one of the first people to come over, and I don't think people appreciate, like, the foresight that you and Dan, when you guys came over in 2020, I think you guys came over, and seeing that, like, you saw this happening before anybody else.
00:13:06.000 You were the first investor, and I can't thank you enough to be a part of that.
00:13:09.000 That means all the world to me.
00:13:12.000 We got your back, Chris.

00:14:27.000 was by Ann Funder and was just beyond anything we could put into words.
00:14:34.000 I want to play a piece of tape here and then welcome her here.
00:14:37.000 Let's play cut 124.
00:14:39.000 My family and I were living in Southern California when President Biden took office and opened
00:14:45.000 our borders.
00:14:47.000 My Weston was 15 and in a moment of peer pressure, he tried something that someone gave to him
00:14:55.000 and it took my baby's life.
00:14:59.000 We did everything right.
00:15:02.000 I had those conversations with him and fentanyl still found my son.
00:15:08.000 And on February 27, 2022, our lives were shattered and our baby was gone.
00:15:19.000 This was not an overdose.
00:15:21.000 It was a poisoning.
00:15:23.000 His whole future, everything we ever wanted for him, was ripped away in an instant.
00:15:30.000 And Joe Biden does nothing.
00:15:32.000 I hold Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, the borders are.
00:15:38.000 What a joke.
00:15:39.000 And Gavin Newsom and every Democrat who supports open borders responsible for the death of my son.
00:15:48.000 That is, and welcome to the program, and that is one of the most powerful moments I've seen in a convention.
00:15:53.000 Welcome.
00:15:53.000 Thank you.
00:15:54.000 Thank you for having me.
00:15:55.000 First of all, you did an amazing job.
00:15:57.000 That is very, very hard to do, and everyone was crying.
00:16:00.000 Thank you.
00:16:01.000 And tell us about your son.
00:16:04.000 My son was an amazing kid.
00:16:07.000 He was just He was such a sweet kid.
00:16:13.000 He had so much compassion for other people.
00:16:16.000 He would give the shirt off of his back if someone needed it.
00:16:20.000 Everybody, overwhelmingly, told me just how he was just such a caring, compassionate kid.
00:16:25.000 He had a lot of friends, good students, sports.
00:16:28.000 He loved to surf.
00:16:29.000 Typical teenager.
00:16:31.000 He was great.
00:16:32.000 And we did everything right.
00:16:34.000 Private Christian school, church.
00:16:36.000 You know, teenagers, every single one of us, we, we, you know, when we were teens, we dealt with peer pressure and, you know, in a moment of peer pressure, he succumbed to what we had talked about never doing.
00:16:52.000 So, and we had a lot of conversations about it.
00:16:56.000 And you can't make mistakes anymore as a kid.
00:16:58.000 You die.
00:17:01.000 So he, by peer pressure, took a substance that was laced with fentanyl, is that correct?
00:17:05.000 So, you know, Percocets, Xanax, they're not even, you know...
00:17:15.000 Percocet or Xanax, there's nothing pharmaceutical about them.
00:17:17.000 They're just pressed blue powder that you can buy off of Amazon and they contain parafentanil.
00:17:23.000 But, you know, kids just want to fit in, you know, and do what everybody else is doing.
00:17:28.000 Did you ever, did anybody else get harmed in this, that he was around?
00:17:32.000 It was just him?
00:17:33.000 No.
00:17:33.000 No.
00:17:34.000 And so...
00:17:36.000 I mean, did they get harmed?
00:17:37.000 Yeah, there's, I mean, Dana Point, Southern California, that whole area is... It's a virus there.
00:17:43.000 It's an epidemic.
00:17:45.000 It's definitely bad.
00:17:46.000 Any part of California.
00:17:47.000 California's horrible.
00:17:48.000 For people that don't understand, connect how the open border is making this happen.
00:17:57.000 Well, it's a wild, wild west.
00:17:58.000 It comes over the border in cars and, you know...
00:18:03.000 In every drug bust, you can find from $40,000 to over a million dollars worth of fentanyl.
00:18:09.000 California takes people who are drug runners and they send them to court and say, come back in two weeks.
00:18:20.000 They never come back.
00:18:22.000 There's no stiff penalty for dealing drugs.
00:18:28.000 There's nothing.
00:18:30.000 My son's case was Completely cut and dry.
00:18:36.000 I mean, it was all, they had all the evidence needed and nothing, not even a slap on the wrist.
00:18:43.000 So a dealer hasn't been arrested for this?
00:18:47.000 No, I don't think they ever will.
00:18:49.000 California lets people out of jail.
00:18:51.000 I mean, they don't persecute anything.
00:18:52.000 They weren't able to find the source of this material?
00:18:55.000 No, they have everything.
00:18:56.000 They just don't persecute.
00:18:58.000 That's California.
00:18:58.000 They don't do anything.
00:18:59.000 So the person who murdered your son with this substance and knowing it was Lace the Fentanyl, he walks free today to go kill another 15-year-old?
00:19:07.000 Absolutely.
00:19:12.000 You're going to save other people's lives through this?
00:19:16.000 I hope so, because I remember after my son died and we were completely blindsided.
00:19:22.000 Thinking I just never want another parent to ever have to feel this way.
00:19:26.000 It was unimaginable.
00:19:27.000 This was never gonna happen to us.
00:19:30.000 And it was like I was in a bad dream.
00:19:31.000 I just wanted to wake up.
00:19:33.000 And I still do.
00:19:34.000 Every day I'm like, can I wake up tomorrow?
00:19:38.000 Just let me hold my baby again.
00:19:40.000 Sorry.
00:19:45.000 But it's just, it's, I don't understand.
00:19:48.000 It is the number one killer of people ages 18 to 45.
00:19:51.000 It is very rapidly becoming the number one killer of teenagers and 14 and under being the fastest growing demographic.
00:20:02.000 I see parents posting their 12-year-olds who died experimenting.
00:20:06.000 Someone gave them something.
00:20:08.000 It wasn't what they said.
00:20:09.000 I mean, this is a poisoning.
00:20:11.000 This is not an overdose.
00:20:13.000 I think that is so important to distinguish.
00:20:15.000 When Snow White was given the apple, she thought she was eating an apple.
00:20:19.000 It is no different.
00:20:19.000 She had poison.
00:20:22.000 Why do you think that Joe Biden and Gavin Newsom care so little about teenagers being killed?
00:20:22.000 It is no different.
00:20:28.000 That is the question, isn't it?
00:20:31.000 I have no idea other than they just want the complete destruction of our youth.
00:20:36.000 There is no other answer.
00:20:38.000 They cared more about getting rid of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine than they do about fentanyl.
00:20:46.000 It is disgusting.
00:20:47.000 What is that all about?
00:20:48.000 You would think that someone whose son is an addict, who has also lost a child and knows the pain of loss, This would be on their radar and they would be doing something.
00:20:59.000 But instead he has reversed Trump's border policy.
00:21:02.000 He has allowed the fentanyl factories in China to reopen.
00:21:06.000 He just pours over our borders and it's poison and they don't prosecute people.
00:21:11.000 They do nothing.
00:21:12.000 Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and I got to meet her last night and thank her, she has one of the best legislations.
00:21:19.000 In her state.
00:21:21.000 She passed it and it is if you sell fentanyl and have a fatality you're looking at life in prison and if a child dies you're looking at the death penalty.
00:21:31.000 We need stiff penalties!
00:21:32.000 And the person who killed your son is still...
00:21:35.000 Gonna do it again.
00:21:36.000 And California couldn't care less.
00:21:38.000 Thank you for your amazing story.
00:21:40.000 Your hope is to get Donald Trump back in the White House to prevent child suffering.
00:21:43.000 We need Trump back.
00:21:44.000 Absolutely.
00:21:45.000 He will seal the border.
00:21:47.000 He will go after the cartels.
00:21:48.000 He will save kids' lives.
00:21:49.000 He will save children.
00:21:51.000 He is an amazing man.
00:21:54.000 And we all love him with a love that is deep.
00:21:59.000 I love our president.
00:22:00.000 We need him back.
00:22:01.000 And he'll save this country.
00:22:03.000 This is important.
00:22:05.000 This is the country that our forefathers fought for.
00:22:10.000 My dad was a World War II veteran.
00:22:17.000 And I'm glad that he doesn't have to see what's happening in Joe Biden's America.
00:22:21.000 It is disgusting.
00:22:22.000 And I know President Trump will do everything that he says because he did.
00:22:27.000 He's been president before and we were great.
00:22:30.000 And I know he'll do it again.
00:22:32.000 Kids' lives will be saved.
00:22:33.000 Kids' lives will be saved.
00:22:34.000 I know how hard it was for you to get up there.
00:22:37.000 You beautifully presented it.
00:22:38.000 Thank you.
00:22:38.000 It's very, very difficult.
00:22:40.000 There's a lot of distractions and people running all over, but you impacted millions of people.
00:22:44.000 Thank you.
00:22:45.000 I appreciate it.
00:22:46.000 God bless you.
00:22:46.000 Thank you for having me.
00:22:47.000 Thank you so much.

00:24:45.000 We have a very important person here, Michael Knowles, best-selling author of Reason to Vote for Democrats, a thorough read.
00:24:51.000 All right, Michael, this is a Kennedy assassination-type moment where I'm going around and I'm just infinitely curious by asking, where were you?
00:25:01.000 Where were you?
00:25:02.000 I had just baptized my youngest son with a yes.
00:25:07.000 So it was this amazing moment of like the greatest celebration.
00:25:10.000 We're all sitting back, cigars, drinks.
00:25:13.000 And then I get a text, shots fired at a Trump rally.
00:25:16.000 I said, okay, that actually didn't totally surprise me.
00:25:19.000 I mean, the libs have been saying he's an existential threat to the country and he's Hitler for years.
00:25:23.000 Okay.
00:25:23.000 Shots fired.
00:25:24.000 Then I get the text, Trump shot.
00:25:27.000 Now I'm paying attention.
00:25:28.000 Then I start getting phone calls from saying, you've got to get on air, get to a computer, get somewhere.
00:25:33.000 And I then I saw the video.
00:25:37.000 And Charlie, you're a religious guy.
00:25:39.000 I'm a religious guy.
00:25:41.000 You know, certain things have natural explanations and certain things are so improbable.
00:25:47.000 The turn of the 15 degree turn of the head.
00:25:49.000 Think of what the country would be today if not for the 15 degree turn of the head.
00:25:53.000 I don't say this lightly.
00:25:57.000 I don't know if the country would have ever healed from that.
00:26:00.000 And I say that because there has never been a moment where we kind of were saying, I mean I said out loud for months, they're going to try to assassinate him, they're going to try to assassinate Tucker, say to other people, and this country's already like on the verge of combusting.
00:26:15.000 And you're going to all of a sudden have the leader, the figure, the symbol, who's been impeached, indicted, convicted, and he gets his brains blown out in an open air rally?
00:26:25.000 I don't know what would have happened next, but it could have ended the country.
00:26:30.000 And I know it sounds apocalyptic.
00:26:32.000 Well, you know, listen, we're living in strange times and the leader of the party and the former president was almost Murdered three days ago, so yeah, it's hard to overstate these things.
00:26:42.000 Part of the reason why it would have been so cataclysmic is because it was so expected.
00:26:47.000 As you say, we've all been talking about how this could happen.
00:26:50.000 And so the response that really made my blood boil, I usually have pretty good control of my emotions.
00:26:55.000 What made my blood boil, Kamala Harris said it first, she called it a senseless act of violence.
00:27:01.000 If you establish the premise for years now that Trump is Hitler and that he poses an existential threat to our system of government, our whole country, then actually it's a very sensible act.
00:27:12.000 It's based on false premises.
00:27:14.000 But how dare you?
00:27:15.000 How dare you call it senseless when you've established the premises that would lead to this conclusion?
00:27:21.000 And they're saying we're looking for a motive and There are a couple potential explanations.
00:27:30.000 He could have wanted to be famous, or that it was politically driven.
00:27:34.000 That's one of the two.
00:27:35.000 Right.
00:27:36.000 I don't think anything beyond that.
00:27:38.000 He could have been crazy in the sense that Reagan's would-be assassin wanted to impress Jodie Foster.
00:27:44.000 Jackson Hinkle or something, right?
00:27:46.000 Hinkle, yeah.
00:27:46.000 Hinkle, yeah.
00:27:47.000 But in this case, who, by the way, the libs have been trying to get out of hand.
00:27:50.000 He's already out.
00:27:51.000 He's already walking free.
00:27:53.000 But in this case, it doesn't appear that the would-be shooter was, you know, totally out of his wits.
00:27:59.000 I mean, there's video emerging of him in school, there are reports he was a nice boy, he was quiet, whatever.
00:28:04.000 So then, those are the questions.
00:28:06.000 Is this politically motivated?
00:28:08.000 Did he simply want to be famous?
00:28:12.000 How did it fail?
00:28:14.000 So Michael, at the risk of this turning into the Alex Jones Show, who I like Alex a lot, right?
00:28:18.000 I mean, I think he's amazing.
00:28:19.000 I like his voice.
00:28:20.000 By the way, he's been right about a lot, and I have him on the show, and he's terrific.
00:28:25.000 What the heck happened here, Michael?
00:28:28.000 I want this, and I was just texting with some people, I'm not going to say who.
00:28:32.000 I want this to be incompetence.
00:28:33.000 I want this to be... What?
00:28:35.000 Michael, you're a smart guy.
00:28:38.000 How do I make sense of this?
00:28:40.000 At the very least, because, you know, as I've said from the beginning, we want to be all about the facts.
00:28:44.000 We don't want to, you know, the reality is crazy enough that we don't want to be taken to flights of fancy.
00:28:49.000 But at the very least, you would have to say the fact that he had an obviously insufficient Secret Service force in terms of the personnel who were selected to protect him, even their physical stature.
00:29:03.000 I got attacked for saying that, by the way.
00:29:05.000 She can't holster a weapon, right, Dan?
00:29:07.000 She's protecting the President of the United States.
00:29:09.000 Trump's a pretty big guy.
00:29:10.000 It seems like he should be protected by pretty big guys.
00:29:11.000 By the way, they weren't strong enough to get him off stage in three seconds or less.
00:29:16.000 You know that the criteria for Secret Service agents is different for female agents and male agents.
00:29:24.000 Of course, of course.
00:29:25.000 And by the way, I mean, Charlie, look, you are a member of the Nephilim.
00:29:28.000 You are eight foot five.
00:29:30.000 Yes, that's right.
00:29:31.000 My people once ruled the earth.
00:29:33.000 But I don't think, look, I don't think I should be protecting President Trump.
00:29:36.000 You know, I haven't lifted enough weights.
00:29:37.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:29:38.000 So there's the question of the stature of the people.
00:29:41.000 Then there's a question of just the sheer number of agents.
00:29:45.000 And so What the Libs will tell us is, well, he's a former president.
00:29:49.000 That's why he had a smaller detail than the sitting president.
00:29:52.000 Except that, he's the first presidential candidate, potentially since 1892, to win a non-consecutive second term.
00:29:58.000 He's a figure who the sitting president has vilified as Hitler and nearly the cause of the destruction of America.
00:30:04.000 You know, at a certain point, when you fail to give that man sufficient resources, then you're making an intentional decision.
00:30:14.000 I believe it was divine intervention.
00:30:15.000 Obviously.
00:30:16.000 And libs are mocking that because they don't believe in God, nor do they believe in Trump.
00:30:20.000 And so we are at a moment now where we have to take a step back and say, what is God trying to teach us or show us here?
00:30:27.000 Donald Trump just selected J.D.
00:30:29.000 Vance as the vice president.
00:30:31.000 Tonight is J.D.' 's speech.
00:30:32.000 He's a dear friend of mine.
00:30:34.000 I did everything I could to try to push for it.
00:30:36.000 President Trump made the ultimate decision.
00:30:38.000 What is your reaction to J.D.
00:30:39.000 Vance, a Roman Catholic?
00:30:41.000 He is a Catholic convert.
00:30:42.000 There are a lot of those these days.
00:30:45.000 I love J.D.
00:30:46.000 Vance.
00:30:47.000 I have been following his career since he was in law school, you know, just about.
00:30:51.000 And so I was elated when I heard this pick.
00:30:54.000 And the reason that the pick is so great is because it shows that President Trump, he could have picked a wallflower, he could have picked an old guy, he could have picked a token, he could have picked Someone to, you know, play into the cynical identity politics game.
00:31:06.000 He didn't.
00:31:07.000 He chose someone who's extremely intelligent, extremely articulate, who knows what he believes.
00:31:12.000 You mentioned his religion.
00:31:13.000 The fact that his politics emanates from a religious conversion means I think he's pretty solid.
00:31:19.000 And it means that this selection is not about 2024.
00:31:21.000 It is, but it's also about 2028, 2032, 2036, 2040.
00:31:26.000 It's about the future.
00:31:29.000 And JD Vance is part of a growing part of the conservative movement that is sick of losing.
00:31:37.000 that understands the populist nationalist undercurrent.
00:31:40.000 Yes.
00:31:41.000 He is incredibly family-focused and centered on the beautiful things in life.
00:31:46.000 Yeah.
00:31:47.000 And we have an 81-year-old president, a 78-year-old former president, and a 59-year-old current vice president, and now a 39-year-old.
00:31:55.000 This is the greatest age disparity in the modern era that we've seen.
00:32:00.000 But consider this, Charlie.
00:32:01.000 It's a huge, what, a 40-year age gap between Vance and Trump?
00:32:05.000 And yet, those two guys are more aligned on their vision for America than, you know, maybe 80% of the GOP.
00:32:12.000 How great do they look as a ticket?
00:32:15.000 Doesn't it look really good?
00:32:16.000 Well, you just cross out the P.E.
00:32:17.000 and then you don't even have to change the signs all that much.
00:32:20.000 Is this not the greatest sign you've ever seen, by the way?
00:32:23.000 I'm sorry, I just love it.
00:32:24.000 It's beautiful.
00:32:24.000 I can't get enough of it.
00:32:26.000 Isn't it?
00:32:27.000 It just pops.
00:32:30.000 Right?
00:32:30.000 I wanted to say, Make America Great Again, again.
00:32:33.000 That's my only potential... Well, no, in the... I don't like what they have in the convention.
00:32:37.000 It says, Make America Once Great Again or something, right?
00:32:40.000 Once Again Great?
00:32:41.000 It's like... It doesn't roll off the tongue.
00:32:43.000 No, it's Muwaga.
00:32:44.000 Muwaga.
00:32:45.000 It's Magoa.
00:32:46.000 No.
00:32:47.000 It's Make America Great Once Again.
00:32:50.000 It's now the Magoa movement.
00:32:52.000 I don't know about that.
00:32:53.000 It sounds like some Pacific island.
00:32:55.000 Yeah, no.
00:32:56.000 Magoa!
00:32:57.000 Magoa!
00:32:58.000 Yeah, well hey, maybe that'll win us the votes in American Samoa.
00:33:01.000 Yeah, all those electoral votes, right.
00:33:04.000 Wasn't that the one place that Joe Biden didn't win?
00:33:07.000 He lost to that one guy.
00:33:08.000 He should have shown up.
00:33:09.000 You got to knock on doors if you want to win.
00:33:11.000 We got a ballot chase in Guam.
00:33:13.000 Hey, by the way, speaking of chasing those ballots down, are we going to be able to beat the Democrats on their ballot harvesting schemes?
00:33:19.000 Well, and what does it say here?
00:33:21.000 It says chase ballots, save America.
00:33:23.000 We're doing everything we can at turning point.
00:33:24.000 We're not going to be able to beat them.
00:33:25.000 Hopefully we'll be able to close the gap.
00:33:26.000 And we're working on that every day.
00:33:29.000 We're building a ground army that is second to none.
00:33:31.000 Hundreds of full-time people on the ground.
00:33:33.000 This this practicality.
00:33:34.000 I mean we're talking about the Vance pick.
00:33:36.000 This is what I love.
00:33:37.000 The practicality.
00:33:38.000 Yes.
00:33:38.000 You know for years we heard all this pie-in-the-sky abstract nonsense about about what conservatism really means and then you get these guys and they say remember Trump said in 2016 I am running to give you Good neighborhoods, a safe, beautiful country.
00:33:52.000 Less abstractions.
00:33:53.000 Less, yes, more tangible.
00:33:54.000 More reality.
00:33:55.000 That's right.
00:33:55.000 But let's talk about the philosophical.
00:33:57.000 This is a Russell Kirkian approach.
00:33:59.000 No relation.
00:34:01.000 Only a spiritual relation.
00:34:02.000 Yes, exactly.
00:34:03.000 Which is, again, one of the most important books.
00:34:06.000 Russell Kirk.
00:34:06.000 What was the title?
00:34:08.000 The American Mind.
00:34:08.000 Yes, or I'm sorry, the conservative mind.
00:34:10.000 Yeah, the American mind is the Claremont deal, which is awesome.
00:34:13.000 Conservative mind, which is an idea that this non-stop looking into the clouds over platonic obsession with the philosophical elements.
00:34:25.000 Meanwhile, the basic things are deteriorating.
00:34:27.000 Well, Charlie, you ask about divine intervention, and I think this is what's so key.
00:34:31.000 You know, obviously there are ideals, there's a metaphysical reality, but the way we win
00:34:37.000 is through politics, through human beings, through the flesh, through contingent history.
00:34:43.000 And so, you know, as Christians, we believe in history.
00:34:46.000 We believe there's a creation.
00:34:47.000 We believe there's a turning point in history, which is the incarnation.
00:34:50.000 We believe there's an end of history.
00:34:51.000 Turning point?
00:34:52.000 It's the turning point, as a matter of fact.
00:34:54.000 And so, these tangible moments are what connect us.
00:34:58.000 You know, ours is an incarnational faith, and we believe that God so tightly knits the fabric of reality that His story plays out over time in Providence with our free will, and He accommodates for our sins, and His ends will be fulfilled.
00:35:12.000 That's what any Christian would have to believe.
00:35:15.000 And that means that that says something about politics, too.
00:35:19.000 What we're seeing happen here is quite remarkable.
00:35:22.000 Because the Republican Party is now the young, rebellious party, with the dude that survives the shooting.
00:35:32.000 You're an aesthetic guy, because you're Catholic.
00:35:35.000 Can we show my shirt here, please?
00:35:37.000 Can I have that shirt?
00:35:38.000 Yours is a little bigger than mine.
00:35:40.000 You want the shirt, right?
00:35:41.000 I want that shirt.
00:35:41.000 It's members.charliekirk.com to get the shirt.
00:35:44.000 Members.charliekirk.com.
00:35:46.000 I want you to riff on this shirt.
00:35:48.000 The shirt.
00:35:49.000 The image.
00:35:50.000 The muscle.
00:35:51.000 Do your Catholic thing.
00:35:52.000 What am I looking at here?
00:35:52.000 Do you want it in Latin?
00:35:54.000 The most overused word, I think, in the English language is iconic.
00:35:58.000 And yet, the second most overused word is literally.
00:36:01.000 That image is literally iconic.
00:36:04.000 It tells you so much.
00:36:04.000 The composition is beautiful.
00:36:06.000 The strength.
00:36:07.000 I mean, the American flag.
00:36:09.000 And Trump as a symbol of America.
00:36:11.000 This guy, he's an American original.
00:36:12.000 It's so good, libs think it's staged.
00:36:14.000 Yes, I mean, you couldn't have staged it any better.
00:36:17.000 They're saying it, they're like, come on, you got the blue background.
00:36:20.000 You got the blood on the ear.
00:36:22.000 You got the flag.
00:36:24.000 He's resisting the agents and he's rising.
00:36:26.000 But it's not just the image because that's tacky.
00:36:29.000 It's the reality of the moment.
00:36:31.000 And that's why it's super heavy.
00:36:33.000 Is that what he's doing in that is he got shot and he's rising to his audience and his people saying, it's okay.
00:36:39.000 This country will rise again.
00:36:41.000 But it means something.
00:36:43.000 The image just means something.
00:36:44.000 We have civic iconography.
00:36:46.000 You know, we have it in religion.
00:36:47.000 We have it in our politics, too.
00:36:49.000 And so we have Washington crossing the Delaware.
00:36:51.000 He's there standing, you know, at the front of the ship, and they're crossing.
00:36:55.000 That's a classic image.
00:36:57.000 So many classic images.
00:36:58.000 What is so amazing about this image is this isn't a painting done after the fact to portray our first president of Cincinnati.
00:37:06.000 This really, this is an icon that God made.
00:37:09.000 This is going to be up there at the Pieta.
00:37:14.000 Maybe just slightly, but it's close.
00:37:16.000 It's close.
00:37:17.000 And it is imbued with meaning.
00:37:18.000 It's a joke, by the way.
00:37:19.000 Media matters.
00:37:20.000 And by the way, that meaning is political and religious.
00:37:23.000 Michael, how can people support you, the work you're doing?
00:37:26.000 Thank you, Charlie.
00:37:27.000 People can watch the Michael Knowles Show.
00:37:29.000 They can buy my magnum opus, as you say, Reasons to Vote for Democrats.
00:37:33.000 Chef's kiss.
00:37:33.000 Endorsed by President Trump.
00:37:35.000 Great book for your reading enjoyment.
00:37:36.000 And if you want, you know, Charlie, we were talking about religion.
00:37:38.000 The body is a temple.
00:37:39.000 The temple needs incense.
00:37:41.000 And so if you want to buy some Mayflower cigars, my personal brand, very American.
00:37:44.000 Okay, you got, cigars are like the most disgusting thing ever.
00:37:46.000 How can you like those?
00:37:47.000 Charlie!
00:37:48.000 They make you nauseous and smell.
00:37:50.000 That's because you haven't tried mine yet.
00:37:51.000 Just wait till you try mine.
00:37:52.000 No, no, no, not just, cigars in general are awful.
00:37:54.000 You gotta get the good ones.
00:37:56.000 No, but tell me why you enjoy feeling terrible.
00:37:59.000 Well, Charlie, you understand.
00:38:01.000 Do you like going to an old church, you smell the incense?
00:38:04.000 Not necessarily.
00:38:07.000 Once you become Catholic, then you will.
00:38:08.000 Oh, yeah, so we're all going to end up that way.
00:38:11.000 No, I had this conversation with Dennis, and he's like, if you don't get it, you don't get it.
00:38:15.000 You do not understand.
00:38:17.000 But your clothes stink afterwards.
00:38:20.000 No, but think about that.
00:38:21.000 Now I don't even need to wear cologne.
00:38:22.000 That's just my musk.
00:38:24.000 They smell delicious.
00:38:26.000 So when you're traveling, you go to a cigar lounge, you're cool smelling, it's the first thing I land in town, I say, where is the nearest cigar bar?
00:38:34.000 And it's not even a health issue.
00:38:35.000 There's no health issue with cigars.
00:38:36.000 The FDA has not approved that statement, but you know, I've had cigars since I was a kid.
00:38:40.000 Maybe mouth cancer, but it's not a moral issue.
00:38:45.000 It's that they're disgusting.
00:38:46.000 Charlie, think about the tripartite soul.
00:38:50.000 The pipes, they're the logic, the brain.
00:38:52.000 The cigarettes, they're the appetite.
00:38:53.000 But the thematic element, the spirit, baby!
00:38:56.000 That's Winston Churchill.
00:38:58.000 Cigarettes, I understand.
00:38:59.000 I don't like them.
00:39:00.000 But at least you get a booze... Are you zinning?
00:39:03.000 Is that what this is about?
00:39:03.000 No, I don't do any... You're the only right winger who's not zinning.
00:39:06.000 I don't zin.
00:39:07.000 I don't vape.
00:39:08.000 I don't do cigars.
00:39:09.000 By the way, I'm like the least right winger.
00:39:10.000 I don't like golf.
00:39:11.000 I don't drink whiskey.
00:39:11.000 I don't drink at all.
00:39:12.000 Don't like cigars.
00:39:13.000 Are you a secret devil?
00:39:14.000 That's what Andrew said.
00:39:17.000 I don't like any of that stuff.
00:39:18.000 Golf is a waste of a good walk.
00:39:21.000 Cigar goes great with golf.
00:39:22.000 People shouldn't drink alcohol and cigars are awful and smell terrible.
00:39:26.000 No, weed is like even worse.
00:39:27.000 Charlie is a huge chum gang fan.
00:39:30.000 But I will say this.
00:39:31.000 I think that, and Dennis won me over on this, that from a moral perspective, that when cigarettes, if there is a vice, cigarettes are a better vice than drinking.
00:39:42.000 Well, you know, and the other thing about cigars is you don't inhale, and it allows you to... Does anyone beat their wife after smoking a cigarette?
00:39:47.000 No.
00:39:48.000 Elisa beats me after I smoke cigars.
00:39:50.000 That's how it works.
00:39:51.000 No, but alcohol makes people do really bad stuff.
00:39:53.000 Yeah.
00:39:53.000 But no one talks about it.
00:39:54.000 Michael Knowles, check out his book.
00:39:58.000 Hey, this is Charlie Kirk, and I know a lot of you have been suffering under the Biden economy.
00:40:02.000 Recently, school loan payments have been reinstated, and for many, it's adding thousands to their monthly expenses.
00:40:08.000 My friends, Andrew Del Rey and Todd Avakian, they're amazing.
00:40:10.000 They really helped me through a tough, tough situation recently.
00:40:13.000 They've been excellent.
00:40:14.000 They're ethical.
00:40:15.000 They're just really great people.
00:40:17.000 They're followers of Jesus Christ, and our worldviews are the same.
00:40:21.000 I love them.
00:40:21.000 And so please go to andrewandtodd.com.
00:40:23.000 Interest rates are coming down, and they may be able to lower your overall payment.
00:40:26.000 In fact, one of our team members said, Charlie, is it time for me to own a home?
00:40:29.000 I sat down.
00:40:30.000 I went through the numbers.
00:40:30.000 I said, get in the owner game.
00:40:31.000 Honestly, enough renting.
00:40:32.000 You are burning your money renting.
00:40:34.000 It might be a little bit more to own, But you're building equity.
00:40:36.000 That's money you'll have for the rest of your life.
00:40:39.000 Perhaps a reverse mortgage is a perfect solution.
00:40:41.000 It's about expertise.
00:40:42.000 You could trust in times like this.
00:40:43.000 I can't tell you how helpful they've been for me personally.
00:40:45.000 They've just been excellent.
00:40:46.000 Andrew and Todd, I'm honored to call them friends.
00:40:48.000 We hang out when I go to Orange County together.
00:40:50.000 They're really great.
00:40:51.000 So say, Charlie sent me 888-888-1172.
00:40:54.000 That's 888-888-1172.
00:40:56.000 They helped me through a mortgage situation recently that was super complex and moving pieces and it was really, really tough.
00:41:02.000 Other banks, by the way, wanted nothing to do with it, and they crushed it for me.
00:41:05.000 10 out of 10.
00:41:07.000 AndrewandTodd.com.
00:41:07.000 So check it out right now.
00:41:08.000 AndrewandTodd.com.
00:41:12.000 All right, everybody, give it up for Madeline Brame.
00:41:14.000 Was she not amazing yesterday?
00:41:15.000 Great to see you again.
00:41:17.000 How are you?
00:41:19.000 Madeline, great to see you again.
00:41:20.000 Oh, it's so good to be here.
00:41:22.000 Thank you so much for having me.
00:41:23.000 Did you get any rest?
00:41:23.000 Not really.
00:41:24.000 My phone was blowing up all night long.
00:41:26.000 For good reason.
00:41:27.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:41:28.000 So...
00:41:30.000 You gave, I think, the best speech of the night last night.
00:41:33.000 Thank you, thank you.
00:41:33.000 And it was passionate, it was direct.
00:41:36.000 You had the place on fire.
00:41:38.000 We could play some tape here, but we have you here.
00:41:40.000 There's no need to even play the tape.
00:41:41.000 What was your message for the country?
00:41:43.000 Well, my message for the United States of America is that we need to begin to change the narrative in poor minority communities across the board.
00:41:54.000 We need to make sure that we are not giving our votes away and allowing elected officials to take our vote for granted.
00:42:05.000 We need to make sure that Whoever wants our vote needs to bring something tangible to the poor minority communities.
00:42:14.000 For too long, we have been neglected and ignored.
00:42:20.000 Do you think Democrats are taking the black vote for granted?
00:42:24.000 Absolutely, for decades.
00:42:26.000 I voted Democrat for 45 years for no other reason other than because I'm black.
00:42:31.000 And if you're black, you vote Democrat.
00:42:33.000 And so it was what happened to your son that began this process, is that right?
00:42:37.000 Yes, yes.
00:42:39.000 Because after his murder, I saw the apparatus of New York City that I was up against in trying to get justice.
00:42:48.000 And the entire apparatus in New York City is Democrat and progressive.
00:42:53.000 And these people shunned me and ostracized me and made me feel like an outcast because my Sergeant Hassan was stabbed to death and not shot to death.
00:43:03.000 And they made a huge difference between being shot and stabbed.
00:43:08.000 Why is that an important difference?
00:43:10.000 I don't understand.
00:43:11.000 Well, it's because my story, or Hassan's story, did not fit the narrative.
00:43:18.000 Because all the funding has gone into gun violence prevention.
00:43:24.000 And so your son was stabbed to death.
00:43:26.000 Yes.
00:43:27.000 And he served in the U.S.
00:43:28.000 Army, is that correct?
00:43:29.000 Yes, it is.
00:43:30.000 So he's an American hero.
00:43:32.000 Absolutely.
00:43:33.000 You know, what are the medals of honor?
00:43:35.000 You know, Afghanistan War, received and returned enemy fire on the Taliban, had two confirmed kills in Kandahar.
00:43:44.000 So Hassan was a decorated war hero.
00:43:46.000 Wow.
00:43:47.000 Decorated.
00:43:48.000 And he was murdered and stabbed.
00:43:50.000 Yes.
00:43:51.000 In New York City.
00:43:52.000 In Harlem.
00:43:53.000 Yeah.
00:43:53.000 Is his murderer walking free now?
00:43:55.000 Well, the four homicidal maniacs... Four?
00:43:58.000 Four.
00:43:59.000 A family of homicidal maniacs.
00:44:01.000 Wait, they're all related?
00:44:02.000 Two brothers, a sister, and their friend.
00:44:04.000 Yes.
00:44:05.000 All between the ages of 35 and 40 years old.
00:44:08.000 So this is not children that we're talking about.
00:44:10.000 What was their motive to...?
00:44:11.000 Their motive was because...
00:44:14.000 They said that Hassan jumped someone, alright?
00:44:17.000 When in all actuality, Hassan was defending his father.
00:44:21.000 This was a young man who punched his father in the face.
00:44:24.000 And Hassan did what he needed to do to defend his father, alright?
00:44:28.000 And the kid who got beat up went out and got these people that were hanging out in front of a liquor store in Harlem on 152nd and 8th Avenue, alright?
00:44:37.000 And came back and told them that my son jumped them.
00:44:39.000 And those, those four are, what happened to them?
00:44:43.000 Well, they were apprehended.
00:44:45.000 The NYPD, the task force, the homicide squad did a tremendous job.
00:44:52.000 They apprehended all four in seven months.
00:44:54.000 They were charged with first degree gang assault and second degree murder because the entire incident is on video.
00:45:00.000 So there's no excuse.
00:45:02.000 There's no question of what they did.
