Transcript

00:00:00.000 van jones okay who many would look at van jones and say van jones is a obama guy van jones at one
00:00:08.780 point was tied to politically to some people said some communism you know maybe he said himself yeah
00:00:14.740 i'm a communist and he said i've rolled off that that's right i'm still that's right and then he
00:00:20.740 all of a sudden tells a story here about charlie kirk and and you can tell how sincere he's being
00:00:28.140 go ahead rob charlie kirk and i were not friends um at all in fact the last week of his life we were
00:00:35.800 beefing hard uh beefing online beefing on air but the day before he died he did something that shocked
00:00:42.680 me he sent me a personal message calling for personal dialogue wanted me to come on the show
00:00:48.680 he said we could be gentlemen together he said we could deal with our disagreements agreeably
00:00:55.020 and in the past week and a half just watching people talk about civil wars and censorship and
00:01:01.580 all this stuff coming out of his death i just thought it was important to let people know
00:01:07.160 don't put that on charlie kirk because the last day of his life he was reaching out to have
00:01:13.060 not more censorship more conversation more dialogue with somebody who honestly was one of his adversaries
00:01:20.320 me and i just want to share that with the world and i hope that maybe it might help somebody
00:01:29.380 on both sides deal with issues more like he did tom well i think uh van jones there um first of all
00:01:41.160 van you watch us i know you're watching thank you for being honest and thank you for uh positioning
00:01:46.800 your response like that um that is a uh that was a stand-up thing you did after you received a
00:01:52.120 stand-up message and i think he's right you know when um um i read this past week that charlie said
00:01:58.800 to somebody um he said we have to be careful when the conversation stops that's when the violence
00:02:04.980 starts and he's talking about civil disobedience and rioting and things when that conversation stops and
00:02:10.800 so uh van's bringing that up and i think this is exactly why you have to have the conversations
00:02:17.340 because what was conversation conversation isn't for two people to come to the table have a coffee
00:02:22.900 and then not move an inch a conversation is so there can be some understanding and there can be some
00:02:29.000 new understanding and learning and together saying i didn't know this i didn't know that and this is
00:02:35.280 where i think some of the like the vitriol that i catch uh and people on this podcast and elsewhere
00:02:42.680 catch from the the hard left they seem to think i'm evil i just think that they're they're not correct
00:02:49.140 and we need to talk about it and that's the difference i see and i i love the fact that um that van
00:02:56.380 went out as and showed people this and said the words don't put that on charlie kirk
00:03:04.500 uh which i thought was uh a way to lower the temperature at a time where we need it lowered
00:03:10.460 pat yeah i thought so as well adam your thoughts well respect to van jones for uh being honest
00:03:17.760 because you know there's this whole concept out there we're gonna own the libs bro we're gonna
00:03:22.300 dunk on these guys we're gonna show them what's going on or on the other side it's like he's evil
00:03:26.340 he's hitler let's all just agree on the basic foundation of who we are as americans as humans
00:03:32.840 we all want the same thing we all want the best for our family we all the best for ourselves we all
00:03:39.500 want to do good things in this world and then you can take exceptions to this rule this person's a
00:03:45.200 horrible person this person's a horrible person erica kirk and a moment that galvanized i believe
00:03:52.460 the country i would hope forgave the person that murdered her husband that's something that i will go
00:03:58.760 to the well in time and time again at a time where it's so easy to be angry or what's the what's the
00:04:07.180 next word desire i'm going to show you what's going on to give grace and empathy and compassion and
00:04:11.920 kindness and respect you think that just came that lived in a vacuum or did she get that from charlie
00:04:17.100 and did charlie see himself beefing with van jones say you know what man let's just talk about this a
00:04:23.000 little bit this concept of grace and being uh being able to disagree uh without being disagreeable
00:04:29.440 is such an important concept last point that i just want to bring up you talked about president trump
00:04:34.380 and he said that charlie was a master builder right so in my opinion
00:04:40.740 charlie kirk would have been the next president and he would have been a better president than donald trump
00:04:47.720 why trump said the following he goes charlie wasn't concerned with money you said he said uh he was
00:04:55.060 more about meaning than money he said he was more about his mission than money you talked about how i
00:05:02.720 think it was sergio gore who's in the trump inner circle he said that trump is transactional in the
00:05:07.280 quote you said about dick cheney trump wrote the book the art of the deal no no no you said trump is
00:05:13.100 transactional i think trump is transactional you're saying i'm saying not sergio gore
00:05:17.260 no no no no oh okay i'm saying right trump is transactional okay your opinion is trump is
00:05:21.920 transactional yes okay he wrote the book the art of the deal everything's a deal everything's a deal
00:05:26.400 if you say nice things about me you're my friend if you say mean things about me we're enemies he said
00:05:31.280 i hate my enemies these are trump's quotes charlie didn't care about money he cared about his mission
00:05:35.900 trump i don't think charlie was transactional is that what he said charlie was not transactional
00:05:41.560 correct that's what i'm saying i think trump i think charlie would have been trump but better
00:05:46.920 with sympathy and with principles and without dare i say it corruption but okay go ahead
00:05:54.900 because i was going to say um are you are you going to respond to what you just said say well
00:05:59.120 first and i when you said adam because i have to disagree when you said we all want what's good
00:06:04.060 for our families and we all what's good for the country that's i think that's the far from the truth
00:06:08.780 because the other side i hate having to go this side and this side show me an example of how their
00:06:14.580 pro family and the country and the because everything that they've showed us to this point
00:06:19.060 adam from open opening the borders to all the children getting abused to pro-abortion to pro-violence
00:06:26.740 to celebrating murder i don't see it i do respect what vans joan did but what is he going to do with it
00:06:34.400 because it always seems like these these people go and they have this moment of light they see the
00:06:39.600 light and then they jump right back because he's supposed to take that i'm happy he's saying it
00:06:43.740 but what are you going to do with it are you going to try to convince your side that the other side
00:06:48.040 isn't evil we're not nazis we're not crazy it's just take it and what are you going to do with it
00:06:55.100 because what i'm seeing and adam saying that charlie would have been i mean it's your opinion
00:06:58.640 better than trump nobody nobody i don't think ever is going to go through what trump with meaning
00:07:04.760 before he even got in the spying obama brennan deep state everything collusion trump had to go
00:07:13.680 through hell and back to get to this point where i could see where he's on stage going i'm not agreeing
00:07:18.620 with it but he knows the left was watching him he knows that's why he's like i hate my enemies i'm
00:07:23.660 not going to forgive my enemies so my point is being adam the other side has to understand they have to
00:07:29.380 have a moment something has to happen with the left to besides realizing you guys are losing
00:07:35.480 something spiritually adam has to connect with these people because they're not jumping off the train
00:07:40.820 they're staying on the same rhetoric that's negativity and it's anti-america and it's anti-us
00:07:47.080 so i have one question for you yeah what do you mean by the other side the other side meaning
00:07:52.500 let's do this yeah let's do this wait let me respond to the charlie thing and let's go to the other
00:07:57.120 side because we got a bunch of clips to go through uh the comment you made i think it's a little bit
00:08:01.340 of an unfair comment but let me give my thoughts on why i think that is and then i actually like that
00:08:06.080 you said that because it's a good conversation to have to me um i think lincoln was the right guy for
00:08:13.960 that time i think reagan was the right guy for that time okay i think john f kennedy was the right guy
00:08:21.860 for that time i don't think anybody could have done what trump did to face the criticism and had
00:08:33.600 the authority and the swagger to pull up and get there you got to realize yes we're giving a lot of
00:08:41.480 love to charlie and he's he deserves every ounce of it yes we're giving a lot of love to all the people
00:08:50.160 that spoke there but one guy put him up there and i was trump without trump we don't know charlie
00:08:59.880 it's not not the other way around first comes the prophet the guy that was willing to go to war
00:09:07.000 and had the audacity and fearlessness who inspired charlie's to get behind him you know what did they
00:09:13.660 say the chicken what is the the chicken or the egg the first came trump okay that that is a historical
00:09:23.400 figure that came and then came i'm gonna go fight for him and i'm gonna go get all these states
00:09:31.940 and places for him when he says charlie would call me sometimes and he would say mr president can you be
00:09:37.720 in arizona tomorrow what what are you talking about tomorrow you're giving me one day these people
00:09:42.860 need to hear from you and sometimes i'm like this guy is crazy but i would have to go for it why
00:09:47.280 because he did so much for us right he did so much for us and as much as you're saying transactional
00:09:53.000 i i there's a part of me i got a phone call you know from someone that said pat i wonder if it's all
00:09:59.960 business with you right is it all business with you it's a fair question to ask it's it's not a it's
00:10:06.260 not a i don't take it as an insult i take it as yeah i can see how that that's what it could look
00:10:11.180 like if it was only transactional why is dana white still in his life 20 something years later
00:10:18.260 how much money has he made off of dana white what why are so many of these guys
00:10:24.300 still doing what they're doing was there an element of transactional sure was there an element of that
00:10:32.620 that happens in business yes are some of those people you don't want to be in business with again
00:10:37.580 yes but i think trump is a once in a lifetime type of guy who built master builders there are master
00:10:46.980 builders then there is the guy that built master builders trump is the guy that built a ton of
00:10:52.640 master builders trump created careers for people trump put people on the limelight with podcasts with
00:11:00.420 shows with writing with politics trump gave camera and eyeballs to people who have never gotten it
00:11:06.700 before that's the difference but if you're going back to saying you know when the one part of the
00:11:15.180 event which was like such a boom it just hits you is the comment jd vance made when he says i have not
00:11:23.780 talked about jesus more in my lifetime than i have in the last two weeks and that's because of charlie
00:11:29.020 charlie brought god back into the center stage charlie's bringing that back that's going to be
00:11:38.420 charlie's movement which i don't think we got with the president which i don't think we got but i don't
00:11:43.120 think that's him i don't think he needs to be that guy i do think we're going to get to a point that
00:11:46.900 somebody in the next 5 10 15 20 years a president's going to come that they're going to open things up
00:11:52.300 with a prayer hey before we do this can i pray for everybody yeah heavenly father you know i pray for
00:11:57.680 you i see that's coming up and i do think that's going to be inspired by uh uh by by charlie and by
00:12:04.140 the way as crazy as it sounds i think charlie's going to increase the calibration and the level
00:12:09.320 of consciousness of america higher to love yeah but in that moment of what trump has done the last
00:12:16.380 eight years no the guy is the guy is a very very unique guy now having said that if you do want to
00:12:21.780 rebuttal before i go into some of these things look i i i it doesn't benefit me to disagree with pat
00:12:26.860 publicly but sometimes i do here's where i'm going to disagree with you sir trump's 80 years old
00:12:32.480 almost charlie is 31 at his death you talk about apples to apples one of the things i love about pat
00:12:38.920 he goes let's go there imagine charlie 40 years from now what kind of what kind of momentum he would
00:12:44.920 have what kind of what kind of things he would have done with his life when charlie started turning
00:12:48.760 point it was in 2012 well four years before trump even thought about running for president and he
00:12:56.760 started this with with with purpose with the meaning with a mission and look what he accomplished at 31
00:13:01.860 at 31 respectfully trump was building buildings charlie built a movement so in my opinion in 40 years
00:13:11.300 from now at the rate charlie was going he would have been bigger better and more wonderful than
00:13:17.300 oh 40 years i'm just saying in general 40 years yeah we can't compare charlie at 31 to trump at 80
00:13:23.160 i i i'm saying i'm saying the trajectory he was on adam he would have been there adam so so let me tell
00:13:29.160 you how this works sometimes a person thinks they're famous like for example sometimes there are people
00:13:37.720 people that hang with a guy like uh trump let's just say and everywhere trump goes there's cameras
00:13:45.340 and trump's got four or five people around his around the circle who have never had this many eyeballs
00:13:51.460 this isn't just trump this can be said about uh uh many different people right but in this context
00:13:58.800 i'm just using trump out of these five guys that are around trump that are getting more eyeballs than
00:14:04.080 ever in their lives how many of them are grateful for it knowing they're getting it because of trump
00:14:10.260 how many of them are thinking no it's not because of trump it's because of me how many uh i would
00:14:18.260 out of the five out of the five i would say four out of the five think that and they'd be wrong
00:14:22.120 okay four out of the five think that it's them it's not true yeah exactly i'm with you yeah so here's
00:14:27.000 where i'm going with i think charlie's the one guy that says i owe my 100 and where i'm going to is
00:14:32.060 what this guy did for 70 years is what prepared for the republican party to get the eyeballs that
00:14:43.460 is getting because ever since trump was a kid no matter where he went cameras followed him they
00:14:49.180 wanted no doubt i agree with so what i'm saying to you is he brought this he made a lot of the
00:14:54.300 conservative players celebrities yeah purely by association not the other way around i agree but
00:15:01.220 you're right and i do think in that and my my part with this is i feel like i wanted to see the
00:15:09.820 finished product with charlie that's the part that that maybe i don't maybe i speak on behalf of some
00:15:16.200 people maybe i speak i'm just speaking for myself but if you relate you relate i really wanted to see
00:15:21.000 what this guy was going to do but god's got bigger plans and i trust him more than i trust anybody else
00:15:26.560 and we're going to see what's going to be happening with it but i understand your argument you're making
00:15:29.560 for sure he would have been a he would have been a once in a lifetime type of talent
00:15:34.720 but trump was the reason why a lot of this i'm giving trump infinite respect i'm simply saying
00:15:40.900 apples to apples if charlie kept the trajectory he was on no question he would have been no question
00:15:45.340 who else on that stage something special happened last week before we went to the memorial
00:15:51.380 vinnie had a new collection and we just got a report from leo how successful that collection was
00:15:56.960 i'm gonna have vinnie say a few thoughts and few words about the faith over fear vinnie share with
