Day One of Amfest + The Target Freedom Shirt Patriot

It's the first night of the biggest AmericaFest in Turning Point history. The team lays out the packed first night of speakers, including Erika Kirk herself. Libby Emmons joins from just outside the Phoenix Convention Center to discuss the total failure of Brown University and Providence police to capture the murderer of campus conservative Ella Cook. To offset that appalling story, they also discuss Jeanie Beeman, the heroic Target employee harassed for wearing a Charlie Kirk Freedom shirt.

00:00:03 Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start at turning point you would say college chapter. Go start attning point youould say high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. 00:00:37 Speaker 2: Sign up and become an activist. 00:00:39 Speaker 1: I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade, most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same. 00:00:45 Speaker 2: Here I am Lord, Use me. 00:00:48 Speaker 1: Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends and viewers. 00:01:09 Speaker 2: All Right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show, Day one of Amfest. It's about to get kicked off at the Phoenix Convention Center already. 00:01:15 Speaker 3: I'm kind of sad we're not in the convention Center already. I felt the same way. 00:01:19 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we made the call earlier in the week because of Tech and Cruise and where everybody's setting up. 00:01:24 Speaker 3: I think Charlie would have had us be there. Charlie would want, well Charlie to be there. He would be so Charlie would break glass. 00:01:29 Speaker 2: I actually don't know if he loved doing the show from the studio, and it is. It's peaceful, it's extreme, it's true, you can gather your thoughts. It is a nice place to do a show from. But I had the same thought this morning, because you want to be around the people. And tomorrow we're going to be doing the show live from the convention floor media row at the Real America's Voice Booth. So if you are going to be in Phoenix today or tomorrow, meet us there. We're gonna come right right out after Bannon War Room. I might try and get Bannon to do the show with us at the first block of the show, just do a little handoff there, and then Steve's actually gonna come on for the members only. Lounge. We're gonna be doing an interview with Steve Bannon, many others, Megan Kelly, Michael Knowles, Riley Gaines, I think Don Junior, but don't quote me on that one. Just yet. Working on schedules, but it's gonna be so we're gonna have a packed members lounge. So members dot Charliekirk dot com if you want to access that and you're gonna be at the event. It's a really special moment where if you're a member of the Charlie Kirk Show members only community, then you get to come in and watch those interviews happen live. They're they're prerecorded, so nobody else gets to see him, just you get to ask questions. So that's happening tonight. Erica Kirk's gonna kick off the event. She's gonna welcome everybody. We have tens of thousands of people coming. I'm just gonna leave it vague. Okay, I'm leaving it vague. Tens of thousands, it's gonna be big. All the major media is gonna be got it. 00:02:48 Speaker 3: We got an email where someone was sending off her her teenage kids to go to Amfest at three from Iowa yeah. 00:02:55 Speaker 2: I mean it's gonna be it's good. There's after parties, there's I think I think Knowles is doing like a cigar party, which will be fun. I don't know anything about it other than that, but it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be great and and it's funny. I've already had two interviews this morning, uh with I would say, right at Center Media, but they you know, they were all asking It's like, well, okay, the movement has been divided. Do you think mfest can unite it? And my answer is simply, listen, we have a raucous bunch of people that make up the conservative movement. They represent all different factions of the conservative movement. Blake, you would occupy one lane. I'd probably be in a slightly different We come. We we disagree on things all the time. Uh to Blake's laughing, it's a yes. Every morning I come in and go, hey, what about this? Yeah, but to be fair, you did that with Charlie too all the time. So so anyways, but there, but but yet we are one big, happy family. And when you focus your attention on a north star on a listen, do you want to live in mom Donnie's America. I certainly don't. And while we have a bunch of differences among the factions, we when you have an event that gathers everybody together and says, here are here is our goal. And by the way, that person you think you're in a Twitter fight with over there, they're actually not that terrible of a person. You guys talk it out, Things happen, relationships get formed, organizations cross pollinate, you go to the breakout sessions. These events are powerful. Charlie knew that. That's why we put so much of an emphasis on these major conferences at Turning Point, because in real life, experiences are more important than ever when everybody's so online, when everybody's you know, they get down these rabbit holes of this debate or this conspiracy theory or whatever. When you come together as one movement in one room and one building, I think magic happens. So that's that's the prayer. So send your prayers for Amfest. I think it's gonna be one of the most important events in recent memory. Certainly it's gonna be our first without Charlie, and that's really sad. But I also know that you know Charlie's going to be there with us in spirit. The whole event is going to be gathered around on sort of his mission and the legacy and the things that he would want us to do. So if you can't make it, it will be right here on Real America's Voice. They're gonna be streaming all the speeches on Real America's Voice. Rumble's going to be streaming, streaming them online, and lots of other things going on. Uh blake, uh you Uh, this is gonna be what your third third am Fest or fourth? 00:05:22 Speaker 3: Fourth? 00:05:23 Speaker 4: Is it there? 00:05:23 Speaker 2: Fourth? 00:05:24 Speaker 3: Yes, first one was end of twenty two. 00:05:26 Speaker 2: Yeah, well so you missed the uh you missed the COVID Uh yeah, long before. Everybody got COVID the first year. Now it's cool to say. 00:05:34 Speaker 3: But we have to cover that up because they all Super Spreader event. 00:05:38 Speaker 2: We didn't talk about it too much. Everybody got COD. I did not get COVID. You know. The first time I got COVID actually was at our other event, which was a super Spreader event, which was COD. That was December twenty twenty, was before we did Amfest. We had Student Action Summit in Florida, and I definitely got COVID at that event. So I got the o G COVID at that one, but everybody you get, guys need to come check it out. And if you can't make it, then you to just watch it right here at Real America's Voice or stream it on rumble Blake. Let's talk about Venezuela. The rope Adope. 00:06:08 Speaker 3: The rope Adope. They trolled us pretty hard on it. 00:06:09 Speaker 2: Controlled this really hard. Everybody thought it was gonna be about Venezuela. 00:06:13 Speaker 3: President if you forget, if you missed it, President Trump said I will be giving an address to the nation at nine pm tonight, and I think he even said about things related to my accomplishments this term, or I think they did semi announce that, but everyone thought he'd also been hyping up we had this big armada surrounding Venezuela, and then there were people Tucker actually said he'd heard from a congressman it was going to be announcing in a war, and so you just had a lot of speculation about this, and the result of it was that he's talking at primetime, and all the networks and all the news outlets they bother to cover it because you definitely want to get it. If he's announcing a war, and instead he just trots out and talks about his domestic policies for the past year. 00:06:54 Speaker 2: It was a it was a listen. I have reason to believe that this was intentional. The misdirection was intentional. The question is where people like Tucker in on it. I've heard rumors that Tucker knew exactly what he was doing. I've heard rumors that they maybe he didn't. I don't know. But anyways, everybody thought that it was going to be about Venezuela and we were going to be invading Venezuela. I was just sitting in my in my computer, going like, that's going to be fun. Everything about Amfest is now going to be about foreign policy, which is not at all what we wanted to make it. So the fact that this is what ended up happening was I think a stroke of genius in a masterful touch. Let's go ahead and play some of these clips two seventy one. 00:07:33 Speaker 5: Next year, you will also see the results of the largest tax cuts in American history. Many families will be saving between eleven and twenty thousand dollars a year, and next spring is projected to be the largest tax refund season of all time. 00:07:51 Speaker 2: All right, So then he talks about warrior dividends. So every member of our armed forces, there's like one point four to five million of them, it's seventeen hundred. 00:08:01 Speaker 3: And seventeen seventy six. 00:08:03 Speaker 2: Hey, it's better than better nothing. Yeah, I love, I love giving. Some say it's about two and. 00:08:09 Speaker 3: A half billion dollars. 00:08:11 Speaker 2: It's a little bit of the tariff, the tariff revenue. So looks like that's probably gonna be what the tariff revenue goes to. I mean, there was a spirited debate in the right about whether or not we should use that money to pay down debts, which I think we should. But you know, there is a political incentive to give away free money. Let's just be honest. 00:08:28 Speaker 3: Yeah there is. 00:08:29 Speaker 2: And so to do it for the men and women in the armed services is actually probably I could. I could settle with that as a as a threading the needle move. So I'm okay with that. Let's keep going here to ninety three. 00:08:41 Speaker 5: When the world looks at us next year, let them see a nation that is loyal to its citizens, faithful to its work, is confident to its identity, certain to its destiny, and the envy of the entire globe. We are respected again like we have never been respected before. 00:09:01 Speaker 2: You know, you said something earlier this week. I think it was with Steve Dace where you said you look to China and you were like, well, China, at least, you know, is proud of itself. 00:09:08 Speaker 3: M hm. 00:09:09 Speaker 2: And I really believe that this is when we talk about saving the West, it's talk. It's it's about restoring our self confidence in the greatness of our cultures and the greatness of our heritage. How much of American life is really on that fulcrum. It pivots on that fulcrum a great deal. 00:09:28 Speaker 3: It's especially just if you look at what really goes around in the discourse in university campuses, in especially a lot of the left, but increasingly on the right too. It's just it actually frequently is dispirited and anti American. And that's not an attitude that tolerates any sort of sacrifice for the future, sacrifice for the good of the country. If you if you don't love, if you don't love your family, you probably won't treat them well. And if you don't love your country, you probably won't treat it well either. 00:09:56 Speaker 2: I totally agree with that. I think that is the central the sense I guess question of the modern age for the West. Do we believe in ourselves and our culture? Do you believe in your country? Do you believe in your country existing? Or do you believe that you are systemically oppressive and racist and bigoted just for existing? I don't. I struggle with approximately zero white guilt. I struggle with approximately zero guilt of being a Western Christian, straight male. Zero. I got zero.

She's wearing a Charlie Kirk show or a Charlie kirkshirt, a red one because it's Target. Apparently you're able to wear a red shirt at Target, and she gets a verbally accosted by this It's. 00:11:53 Speaker 3: A time Traveler from twenty twenty. 00:11:54 Speaker 2: Basically, yeah, it felt like BLM all over here. 00:11:57 Speaker 3: Yeah, just these awful people at camera were a mistake, and she for she posted, She posted it herself. She posted, it's really okay, so this story it made her look awesome. This story has many twists and turns. Let's go ahead and play the original uh costing clip, the harassment clip two. 00:12:16 Speaker 4: It doesn't have to be so Charlie kirkshirt. 00:12:18 Speaker 6: Yes, oh yes, I know. 00:12:20 Speaker 4: Are you stupid? 00:12:21 Speaker 7: No? 00:12:22 Speaker 4: Why the would you wear that? You're at work at Target, that's not Target shirt, it's not a plain red shirt. 00:12:29 Speaker 7: You support a racist? 00:12:32 Speaker 6: It's not racist. 00:12:34 Speaker 4: You support a racist? 00:12:36 Speaker 8: Yes he is. 00:12:38 Speaker 6: Yes, I'm sorry that here arguing you're not. 00:12:42 Speaker 4: You should go get your manager. You should not be allowed to wear the at work. Unacceptable, unacceptable. Got your and the opinion is he's a racist and you support him. Yes, you're a pion and you shouldn't say you should not be allowed to wear that. This is going to be taken above your that's insane, and thanks, this. 00:13:06 Speaker 3: Is gonna be taken above your head. 00:13:08 Speaker 2: I love how she goes it's not racist. Okay, have a nice day. I'm not gonna sit here and argue that. What a beautiful response to a crazy. 00:13:15 Speaker 3: Person, which, oh my god. 00:13:17 Speaker 2: I mean's just nasty. And so listen there was a gifsend go. I want to give a huge shout out to Cassandra Fairbanks, who messaged me about this and let me know that it was even a thing, and then she helped set up the gives send go, so go ahead and throw up two eighty nine. I actually don't know if this is the number, but they started trying to raise fifty thousand dollars just as just a bless this woman, and now it is over two hundred thousand dollars. Ray the latest amount, Yeah, find the latest amount. And Cassandra Fairbanks, you are a good human for doing this and for just her name's Jeanie from Target and it's from Chino or something. Anyways, what a sweet, sweet lady. She handled that with such grace and poise. And now somebody has found Genie and asked her a couple of questions, and she just keeps winning hearts in mind like this is this is the heartbeat and the core of the character of America. And that's really what I think about it. Jeanie is a sweetheart. Two seventy three. 00:14:20 Speaker 7: You know, people are calling for her to be fired for this. 00:14:23 Speaker 6: Do you think that that's right? Would you? Like, God's No, I don't think that's that's right. Like one thing I have is two wrongs don't make a right. You know, she wronged to me that I don't want to wrong her or I don't want her her wrong because it's not going to make it right. I mean, that was her opinion. She but she's the one that put it on Facebook or pit it on on that so you know, but I really wouldn't want to see her somebody lose their job for it. 00:15:01 Speaker 2: Very sweet. 00:15:01 Speaker 3: Current total two hundred and twenty and seventy seven dollars. 00:15:05 Speaker 2: I think we took that screen grab this morning and show prep, so it has grown eighteen and. 00:15:09 Speaker 3: You want, I see there's a few people they do, those parasitic ones that might you know, aren't the man do what you want? 00:15:15 Speaker 2: Is uh? 00:15:17 Speaker 3: The one you want is give sendgo dot com slash Genie from Target g E A n I E Genie from Target. It's also the one created by Cassandra Fairbanks YEP with funds to be received by Genie Beeman. And so well that's the one you want. 00:15:32 Speaker 2: God bless her she's and by the way she has she literally is trying to deny the money and I don't think Cassandra is gonna let her like oh you show And that's how sweet this woman is. She's like, no, no, no, I don't want all this attention. I don't want And I think I think we're sort of winning her over and and trying to say you love you love, you will accept our love. Let us bless you, you sweet lady. And I just love that she, first of all, has the courage to wear Charlie Kirk at Target in California, in Chino. And by the way, Sheino's got a lot of A wingers, right wingers, and it's not it's it's not a It's not like all of California has got no conservatives. Chino's got some conservatives. But so she's in there, she's wearing the shirt. She gets accosted, she gets wronged. Genie acknowledge that she wronged me, sure, and but she hands it with such grace and dignity. And then people are calling for this gal, you can show you, show the gifts and go again. So the gal on the left is the woman that you know with her phone up she went and got her starts swearing in her face. And I love that it's red v Blue too, which is which is kind of fun. So that she's a radical progressive who goes and thinks it's cool to go harass a woman that's probably in her sixties or seventies, who's minor, no business, just working a job at Target. How dare you like? Honestly, I don't really care enough to go much harder than that, because you you beclowned yourself, You embarrassed yourself. But God bless you, Genie. 00:16:54 Speaker 3: You think we get her to amphis I know Tyler said we should. 00:16:57 Speaker 2: I think we're We're working on it, that's all. I'm gonnay who knows Genie wants to avoid the spotlight and night. 00:17:04 Speaker 3: I can appreciate that, but we're whatever happens, we salute Eugenie. We love you. Thank you so much for the love you showed Charlie. 00:17:13 Speaker 2: A new Hillsdale College mini series on Colonial America offers a fresh way to think about Thanksgiving.

C h A R l I E f O R for Hillsdale dot com Joining us now is the great, the wonderful, the excellent, the inquisitive. Libby Emmons, editor in chief of the Post Millennial and Human Events, Welcome Libby to the show. It is Amfest day one. Are you gonna be joining us? 00:18:27 Speaker 7: I sure, I am. I'm here in Phoenix right now. I'm getting set to go over there just a little bit. 00:18:30 Speaker 2: I should have had you on set. What are we doing here? It's well tomorrow, maybe we'll just have to have you back on again, but we'll do do it on set because there's lots to discuss. Libby. I noticed that you were, you know, tweeting about Uh, this what is quickly becoming probably one of the most bungled or at least apparently incompetent investigations I've ever seen. It really is, and that's the Brown shooting. So could you just bring us up to speed. Where are we at now and what do we need to know? 00:19:05 Speaker 7: Well, so far I believe we are at nowhere. We are exactly where we were shortly after the shooting. The police don't really seem to have any leads. They don't seem to have any real information to go on. Every time you watch one of these press conferences, which they deliver every evening from Providence, they tell you how the police are not demoralized, and they're doing a great job and everyone's working together and once they crack the case, it'll crack wide open. But nothing seems to be happening. They released their first person of interest, then there was another person of interest that they have been looking for, and they're looking for another person of interest. They can't seem to find anybody. They don't really give any information about it. Last night, when they were being asked by the press about this person of interest, they could not even say whether or not it was a man or a woman that they were looking for. So that's kind of a big thing. And then one thing that I found really really shocking is that they have not even interviewed all of the students that were in the classroom at the time of the shooting. They have they say that they have been the police say they have been working with Brown University to get the names of those individuals and to get in contact with them, but that Brown has sent out an email to this to all students saying, Hey, if you were in this classroom for this study session, let us know so you can talk to police. But police have not talked to all of those students and they don't even know who all of them were. And in the press conference yesterday, they wouldn't even say what kind of gun was used because they are worried that that would influence the answers of the students when they eventually get around to talking to them. 00:20:39 Speaker 9: Yeah, so that the they how do they not have all the students in the actual scene of the crime and they're sending out emails asking for I mean, how is that even a thing? 00:20:54 Speaker 7: How is that even possible? 00:20:55 Speaker 3: Yeah, how is that even possible? 00:20:57 Speaker 7: How did they not know, like, go they on the crime scene shortly after the shooting. The whole school was in shelter in place, lockdown until the morning on Sunday, and they didn't stop to say, hey, let's talk to every single person in that classroom. Instead, they took in a person of interest. They went and searched his hotel room. Whatever. Sunday night that person was released. Brown had already shut down the campus till the end of the term and sent everybody home. So now all they can do is like hope that they can get out to Peoria or whatever and get in touch with the students who were in the room. And there's also indications, and this is not something police have really sent but there's indications that it was just the one student who was intentionally targeted. We don't seem to have any answers on that, and that would seem to be a huge indication of who the suspect might be, if you knew who it was that they were targeting. But there's absolutely nothing this ag Peter Narona, he seems like a total fool. He just goes out there and he's like, Oh, the cops are doing a great job, and the cops are like, yeah, we don't really have the answers, and they're encouraging the public to come forward and give any information that they have. But as soon as the public says anything on Twitter, they yet yelled at you know, I mean, what is going on? This guy is clearly just going to get away. At this point, it's been what five days. Rhode Island is a small state. There's no reason to believe he's still in state. There's no reason to believe he's still in the country. 00:22:23 Speaker 3: They say. The line from the Providence police chief was he could be anywhere. We don't know where the person is or who he is. 00:22:30 Speaker 2: Wow. 00:22:31 Speaker 3: That really, that's really inspiring confidence. And I'm reading other stuff here. Apparently the city of Providence has this new program to basically give police real time access to security cameras. And there's hundreds of security cameras around the city they have real time access to. But you can probably guess where there's a giant black hole where they don't have access to the security camera footage. Yeah, around University no access. 00:22:54 Speaker 7: There was also a question. Yeah, one of the reporters last night said, hey, we saw in some security footage, we saw this person walking past a patrol car did you get anything off the dash cam of that car? And the chief of police said, oh, that we believe that was a brown, brown security vehicle. And we don't know if they have dash cams installed. They don't know, Like they didn't ask, have they asked? 00:23:20 Speaker 1: Like? 00:23:20 Speaker 7: What are they doing? 00:23:22 Speaker 3: We need to have these press conferences because apparently they can get good ideas from us. Oh oh, we should ask that sounds like a great idea anyone else around the group is a group ideation session. 00:23:32 Speaker 2: We're just going to throw out creative. Oh okay, good dash cam on a security vehicle. Check Colleen. Two seventy five. They have, how found live rounds they're hoping to get DNA off this two seventy five. 00:23:44 Speaker 10: What I can tell you from my sourcing is that I think quite significantly they have live rouns, that is rounds that were not fired undetonated rouns. Live rounds at this scene. I think is a hopeful shine for getting usable DNA even if he's not in the database. Remember, they can use that familial DNA technique that we saw in the coburger case. It gets to a cousin or something you work back from there. So I think that's a positive sign for the investigation. And I can tell you they're scraping very hard at it. 00:24:15 Speaker 2: But I have to play this Clipblake because this is just shocking. I got it from Libby highlighted it. It's three oh one. This is them admitting they don't even know which students were in the room when the shooting began. I just cannot believe this. Three oh one. 00:24:30 Speaker 8: And that's all part of the interviews. And actually we're cooperating with Brown to get the roster that was a study hole, so we don't have the number. Were still getting information as far as who was there. I know Brown sent out an email to the students to notify us if they were present, and we're still getting that, so I can't give you a sacked account now. 00:24:48 Speaker 2: We sent out emails. 00:24:49 Speaker 3: I just this really so we're bullying the police. But really the focus needs to be I think heavily Unbrown here that they're not It's clear that the police are requests this information and it seems I'll be frank, it seems like Brown doesn't care about catching a person who murdered two of their students. 00:25:07 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's a fair point. So Brown was caught sort of scrubbing their web pages of a certain person. Again, we're not going to mention this person because we don't know if this person is actually guilty of anything or involved at all. But they were caught scrubbing a Muslim student who went by he they pronounce, there's there's who has a sort of portly shaped, portly shaped person in the first person of interest, they had a portly shape, looked like it could be a match. Do we know? And then they get this other person of interest. Are we supposed to assume there was multiple people involved? Or is that first person of interest now no longer a person of interest? Like, what's going on here? What do we know about this? 00:25:46 Speaker 7: So they indicate after the first person of interest was released, they came up with a second person of interest. That second person of interest and I believe what is today? It's Thursday. On Tuesday night, they said that that second person of interest was likely a suspect when they were questioned about it. And now they are looking for, in fact, a third person of interest who may know the second person of interest. So that is sort of the timeline. They won't tell us if any of these people have a specific gender or maybe they better know if it has a specific gender identity, who knows. But yeah, then they were caught scrubbing the pages of this one student. And then sort of surprisingly what they did is they came out in a press conference again, this was the Tuesday one. They came out in a press conference shaming everyone for looking around for who this person of interest you know, number two could be. And they were like, hey, you know you're doxing people, You're talking about people. How dare you implicate anybody at all? Meanwhile, hey, send us all your tips, let us know what you're seeing. We have no idea who this is, but don't talk about it amongst yourselves. Just come talk to the police about it. So that seems a little irresponsible as well. On the press conference yesterday they were saying, hey, there's ai image is being shared. These are not accurate. We have a folder online you can look at all of the images that we have. But I think the fact of the matter is that the public would not be so interested and determined and trying to find out any information conceivable about this shooter if the police and Brown University were more forthcoming or had perhaps identified a suspect of some kind, you know, I mean, people want to know who the shooter is, who wandered onto this Brown campus, managed to get into a secure facility and opened fire on students. They want to know who that is. Parents want to know. What community wants to know. 00:27:37 Speaker 2: I know. Jack Posovic was reporting this morning that he had heard from some pretty high level sources that Ella Cook, the vice president of the College Republicans at Brown, was indeed targeted. Now we're not hearing that from officials. So again, that's just one report. We've heard other reporting that seems to indicate that could be true. I'm going to reserve final judgment there. But that came straight from Jack said that came from a good source. So do we know. Are we closer to getting them to confirm that? Why the reticence? They just simply don't know. 00:28:07 Speaker 3: I don't think we can know until they've caught a suspect. 00:28:10 Speaker 2: Well, does it seemed like this person was right into the room and targeted Ella Cook directly multiple shots I think maybe even eight shots or something, and that the reporting from Poso is that the other victims in the room were just incidental to that. So again we don't know. I can't confirm that. Again, I'm just saying that's one report that seems to make at least some sense, and why that's important. If we know that she's was targeted, then that tells us a lot about motivation, That tells us who we should be looking for. I mean that a lot hinges on that. So if there's any indication that that would be true, we need to know that. 00:28:46 Speaker 7: Yeah. And also if Ella Cook was directly targeted, and she was targeted by, you know, someone who was affiliated with the university, because otherwise why would they be there, how would they have gotten in? You could imagine that there would have been social media chatter between that person and miss Cook or that person condemning things that Miss Cook had said, because these things don't just start when you start opening fire. You know, it starts on social media. 00:29:15 Speaker 11: This is Lane Schoenberger, chief investment Officer and founding partner of y REFI. It has been an honor and a privilege to partner with Turning Point and for Charlie to endorse us. His endorsement means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Turning Point for years to come. Now hear Charlie in his own words tell you about why refy. 00:29:35 Speaker 1: I want to tell you guys about whyrefight dot com. That is why are e f y dot com. Why refi is incredible.

You've you've chastised us a bit blake for bullying the police here. But I just have. I have to play this clip because I don't doubt that Colonel Oscar Perez and the Providence Police are doing their level best. I mean maybe I doubt it a little bit, but it might just be as good as they can do. Uh. But the incompetence is is clearly visible to everybody. And there's an older clip here a couple of years ago of him talking bragging about the diversity. I mean, it just go like it always happens this way three oh three, what a. 00:30:59 Speaker 8: My joy might now city to really understand what he means to police South Providence, the West End, Onyville, the East side of Providence. When you have an officer that responds to a call, and I'll put myself as an example of a Latino call and there's a party going on, or a Puerto Rican party or a Columbian party, we tend to be loud and so if you're not used to and understanding of what that means, you may escalate a situation that did not require an escalation according. 00:31:30 Speaker 3: To the FBI. You know, in nineteen sixty five we had a ninety percent clearance rate on homicides. The police charged a suspect in over ninety percent of cases, and we're down to fifty five percent as of twenty twenty. 00:31:45 Speaker 2: That's nationwide. 00:31:46 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's nationwide FBI. 00:31:47 Speaker 2: I wonder what is it in like South Chicago though, Oh, it's miserable, isn't it like. 00:31:54 Speaker 3: Something like that? 00:31:55 Speaker 2: It's terri and they don't want to talk to the police and all of this stuff is it is a symptom of of like larger problems about racial animus and division that has been stoked since really since the nineties. 00:32:07 Speaker 3: I care about catching criminals most of all, you'll catch criminals. If you care about having diversity of the most, you'll have a lot of diversity. 00:32:17 Speaker 2: Yeah, so much to say here, And I just feel like Brown University president what's her name again. 00:32:23 Speaker 3: Christina Packson. 00:32:24 Speaker 2: Yeah, she's she's worried about doxing these people of interest. Potentially the internet is trying to help. This is not like these are not wild, like. 00:32:32 Speaker 3: We shouldn't just spew people's names. But it's understandable why people ask questions about that. 00:32:36 Speaker 2: When it's being handled so sary. Libby Emmins, editor in chief of The Post Millennial and Human Events is with us. Libby, I'm gonna get your broad take on the conservative movement. But I have a little bit of housekeeping apparently, I said Chino with Genie from Target. Yea, I know how to get emails out of the audience box. 00:32:59 Speaker 3: Just can't can't mess that up. 00:33:03 Speaker 2: Chico, Okay, Chico. I'm sorry. There's two names in California that sounds very similar. But one is southern California, one is northern. This is north of and Chico is a Republican county. So barely you said right, yes, yes, just it's like a few percentage point went went for Trump. The other piece of housekeeping I want to get to is that you know, there's I think there's confusion about the radio port. The show will continue on Real America's Voice. This was something Charlie had actually decided before he was killed that we were going to be kind of more focused on streaming and the over the top and Real America's Voice and podcasting. So this was kind of his decision. We're going with it. We support, We absolutely love Alex Marlow and Scott Jenny's are great people. I'm so happy that they're going to get radio time. That just was a different direction. But the show will be at the same time timeframe. It'll be right here in January in the next year, and so all good things. I think people are confused about that. So I just want to make a clarifying point. The show is going to be the same time, same place. We're just kind of transitioning to a bit more streaming friendly format for the show and things like that, which is what Charlie wanted to do, all right, Libby Emmons. So there's been a lot made about just the fracturing, the consternation on the right. How do you think we fix that? What would you like to see happen at Amfest? I'm already getting that question a lot this morning, so I wanted to throw it to you as well. Do you think Amfest can be this moment where we kind of crystallize some things and we move into twenty twenty six and strength. 00:34:40 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:34:40 Speaker 7: I do hope that Amfest is an opportunity for people to come together and to coalesce on values and views. I know that it certainly has been in the past, and a lot of people are anxious to see what happens now that Charlie Kirk has been killed. I mean, you guys know better than anyone how devastating that has been personally and for the movement and for everything. Charlie had his hands pretty much on everyone. You know, he touched everything in this movement. And I think that it is up to us to continue that legacy by reaching out hands to each other without you know, that primary person who just kind of knew everyone and knew what to say, and everyone had pretty much confidence that Charlie was always acting in good faith. I think we need to remember that and need to act in good faith with one another and just come around and say, you know, we agree on the most important things. Let's work together to solidify, you know, the strength of this country and to make this a better place. 00:35:42 Speaker 2: Yeah, and at some point, listen, I actually think movements and coalitions get rebuilt, right. This is this is like Hillary Clinton did not get, you know, the same coalition that Obama when she was running. Okay, she has to rebuild her own coalition. 00:36:00 Speaker 7: H W. 00:36:01 Speaker 2: Bush, Reagan. You could make arguments about that. Sometimes movements have to have a sifting, we have to have an argument, we have to have a debate, and then we come back together. But and so I would just say that ultimately we are faced with pretty much a binary choice. Do you want Momdanism, do you want Aocism, do you want Mangionism or do you want Magaism? Do you want a populist, nationalist conservative movement? And ultimately that is going to be a purifying choice at some point, don't you think, Blake. And I don't know when, but. 00:36:32 Speaker 3: I mean, I guess they can also just choose neither. 00:36:36 Speaker 2: They could opt out. They could opt out, and I hope they do. 00:36:39 Speaker 3: It is disgraceful if you do. 00:36:40 Speaker 2: That is not the American way. When I was growing up, it was like, if you didn't participate in the American process, it's your civic life. It was disgraceful, it was dishonorable, and it still is. But it wasn't even something yeah, I questioned. 00:36:54 Speaker 7: But we also we also had this idea, certainly when I was growing up, that this was the greatest country in the world, that it was the great as the Empire ever built. We never questioned it, and I think we need to get back to that. And I will say, as I was flying out here yesterday from the East Coast, I saw a lot of people in Charlie's freedom shirt and they were smiling each other. They were strangers, and they were all coming together because they all knew where each other was going, and they were glad to see more people like them headed in the right direction. 00:37:20 Speaker 2: Well, the right direction is Phoenix, Arizona. That is for sure. The center of the conservative universe will be right here at Phoenix Convention Center. Libby, I'll see you maybe tomorrow, Like maybe we'll just do it again, We'll run it back. 00:37:40 Speaker 3: For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to Charliekirk dot com.
