00:00:03
Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk.
00:00:05
Speaker 2: 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.
00:00:26
Speaker 1: You got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married.
00:00:28
Speaker 2: As young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start at turning point, you would say, college chapter. Go start at turning point, you say high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade, most important decision I ever made in my life.
00:00:43
Speaker 1: And I encourage you to do the same.
00:00:45
Speaker 2: Here I am Lord.
00:00:46
Speaker 1: Use me.
00:00:48
Speaker 2: 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 3: All right, everybody, we're gonna get started here without further ado. We'd like to welcome to the stage, the one and only Don Junior.
00:01:21
Speaker 4: Oh, how's everyone doing?
00:01:25
Speaker 3: So, Don you are your popularity is waning here?
00:01:29
Speaker 1: I know, I've never not. This is a little bit scary.
00:01:35
Speaker 3: This is an omen complicated business. As they say, we have obviously pretty tight security, so we we might manage to smuggle in a few a few folks here.
00:01:45
Speaker 1: So they wrote a bigger check Listen, that's what it is.
00:01:52
Speaker 3: So thank you for making the time and uh, you know, making the time to come to Amfest. Obviously, you know ways have on all of us. This is our first infest without Charlie. You were one of Charlie's closest relationships friends. You guys spent a lot of time together in the early days twenty sixteen, you know, on that campaign. So I just want to make this about Charlie and you, how the time you spent together, the memories you have of him, And so when I ask you, who's Charlie Kirk to Don Junior.
00:02:23
Speaker 1: Oh, man, Wow, listen, he was just honestly a generational talent. I think we've all probably heard the story right now, you know already about how we met. I've you know, said it many times. This guy, he's the smartest guy in politics. He knows everything. And I was like, Okay, this is great because we don't know anything. You know, tell me more, tell me more, you know. I was like, well, you know, he's twenty years old. I go stop, just just you know, if there's one thing we had no shortage of, it was guys that didn't know anything. So I was like, there's no chance, you know, twenty year old is like, we got plenty of that. We got plenty of people that don't know what they're doing. That's the only thing we don't and have a shortage of. And he said, no, no, no, you got to got to sit down. And I remember Charlie came up to my office. We met the first time in my office in Trump Tower back when that was the war room. And we sat down and in five minutes and my congratulations, like you're on the road with me, and you know, six months straight just you know, campaigning everything from you know, fundraising to literally carrying bags, like we had no infrastructure, we had no team, we had no logistical help. We were literally just you know, in the wild. And it was amazing. And I remember speaking at you know, the first Amfest and it was literally a room I think smaller than this. It's like two hundred people. And it was like he's like, well, look, we got two hundred people in room. I'm like, that's really good because you know, we're used to the political room where like this would be a very large crowd, and so we're like, we're you know, we're overperforming it. So to you know, see the crowd build over the last few years has just been epic. And then just seeing what I've seen right now on social out there, knowing that it didn't just wane with him not being here is amazing, and I mean, that's that's his legacy and we got to protect it at all costs.
00:04:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had people lining up at ten eleven o'clock last night.
00:04:13
Speaker 1: Well, you know, they were really loud at about four o'clock in the morning, I know, because they woke me up, just people chanting USA, which was great. I don't know if I needed the car honking at four o'clock in the morning, it was, you know, that was it was an early wake up call. Yeah, it was a lot worse than New York at although maybe under Mandani it'll it'll you know, it'll be worse or comparable. But you know, to see that people still piling in obviously you know, Charlie's not here, my Dad's not making it. This one, it's like wow to see you know, thirty thousand people in the crowd like that, that's just you know, he really started a movement. And you said, yeah, you did it.
00:04:54
Speaker 5: You said in five minutes you knew, Okay, you're on the team. Do you remember what was in that comra?
00:05:00
Speaker 1: Honestly, I have no idea, you know, I have no idea, but you just the way he carried himself. I was like, you know, this isn't a twenty year old. You know what he was able to accomplish, you know, in his thirty one years is you know what would be you know, a crowning achievement of someone's life that you know, got to see it through old age. He just did so much. He just knew. There was a confidence there, there was an understanding there. He understood politics, he understood Washington and you know, most importantly, and this is what's you know, generally lost with all of those people is you know, he understood our people and he genuinely cared. And I think that was the difference. I mean I've always said sort of authenticity is everything in politics. And you know, if you're not real, if you're you know, phoning it in. If you're fake, man, they smell you quickly and you just go nowhere. And so when you are real, it's a rarity, but it's why you're able to do what he was able to accomplish.
00:05:58
Speaker 3: I have a question about Charlie's growth, right, so you got to see him twenty sixteen, yeah, twenty twenty five. How did he change?
00:06:08
Speaker 1: You know, honestly, he didn't change that much. It just he was afforded more opportunities. You know, people you know, started giving him the same shot that perhaps I gave him early. You know, it took a little longer for them to sort of recognize that talent, I guess. But he was just an absolute workhorse. He always got it, and I think that's why people, you know, miss They're like, oh, he's great on stage with a mic. It's like yeah, But then he gets off the stage and he's doing a podcast, then he's in there with donors, and I mean the guy just worked harder than anyone else, and he was so passionate about it that it didn't matter him and his energy you know, was you know, perhaps perhaps second only to my father, who's you know, also sort of a similar animal that.
00:06:52
Speaker 3: He sleeps more than your dad does.
00:06:53
Speaker 1: Charlie, Yeah, he was no but Charlie like, yeah, I mean, but he cared so much. I mean, he he took care of himself at an age where you know, I mean I used to you know, you have dinner with Charlie or like you're getting you know, grilled chicken and salad like the again, like you know, I'm like, yeah, yeah, with occasionally hot sauce a little had a little spice. But you know, he just knew that he was on a mission, uh, and he was going to do whatever he could to to make sure he fulfilled that.
00:07:22
Speaker 3: Yeah. So you know, Charlie doesn't get enough credit for being funny and how like how much fun he was behind closed doors. Blake knows this well. Blake was traveling with Charlie internationally the last couple of trips he took. You know, what are some things about Charlie that you saw that you either want people to understand about him or that you just didn't know the world didn't really get about him.
00:07:46
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I think that's a that's certainly one of them. I mean his humor. You know again, Charlie, you know, almost trying to do like the prim and proper evangelical thing and so like that is totally not me. So I say all the stuff that maybe some are thinking but are unwilling to actually articulate. So you know, you could put him in an uncomfortable position. But then he chime in and it was so you know, for me, I do it all the time. For him, when he chimed in on those kinds of things, it was like WHOA Where'd that come from? So you know, it was just honestly, like I said, a generational talent. And so you know, as part of this movement, you know, there's not one person, you know, that's going to replace Charlie Kirk. There's not one person that it would be capable of doing that. But if we all sort of band together, if we all have that same passion, enthusiasm, energy and try, you know, maybe a few thousand of us can fill those little percentage points and try to get to that one hundred and keep this keep the movement rolling.
00:08:40
Speaker 5: Can you tell us a bit about the relationship he developed with your dad as the president and yeah as a candidate too.
00:08:47
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, my father he's a unique guy. He'll listen to everyone, and he sort of weighs those things equally. I mean, I think how he was able to relate to you know, regular blue collar Americans, people like, how is it possible he was a crash billionaire from New York. It's like, well, you know, he grew up on construction sites. He knew how to talk to those guys. He that was he was a better developer, not because he listened to the guy behind a computer screen, you know, on Excel and like a gilded office, but because he spent time on the job sites with real people. And Charlie was like that, so you know, they understood each other. I mean, there's there's not many people in the inner sanctum of you know, my father's sort of political circle that he sort of gets even when perhaps he's being delivered news that he needs to hear but doesn't want to hear, you know, politics, there's you know, there's plenty of sick offense out there. There's plenty of people who tell you, oh, you know, they show up for the winds and they hide from the losses or you know, the losses are someone else's fault and the wins that they had nothing to do with. You know, Charlie was one of the true people that could you know, you know, call him in the middle of the day and you know, break through and be like, hey man, this is actually a problem. And I know no one's telling you this, but it is. And so you know, for my father to let in, you know, even back in the day, you know, a twenty five year old into that circle and have sort of you know, full confidence in what he was saying and really you know, change his views, perhaps changed the way he delivered a message. It was truly unique to see. I don't think there was anyone else that he listened to that way and maybe period, but certainly not you know, age adjusted. And so you know, he's interesting. I always you know, when I knew Charlie was you know, perhaps I'd accomplished what I wanted, you know, just to get him there. It was when you know, we'd be in a random place and Charlie's calling and he's picking up on the first ring or you know, eleven o'clock at night, twelve o'clock at night on something and you get the call from Charlie. He always took that call as opposed to a lot of people. He's like, yeah, and now I'm gonna send that one to voicemail. You know, he really broke through and he understood how to how to you know, talk with and deal with. My father was, you know, an interesting guy, and you know it not always the easiest person to do that with. So you know, he got it. He understood how to do that, and so they had a really a really unique relationship.
00:11:00
Speaker 3: Christmas, yes, we can say Christmas. It's a time of giving, and there is nothing better than knowing that what you give results in saving the life of an innocent baby. And for every baby we save, there is a mom who is saved from a lifetime of regret. Preborn provides free ultrasounds to girls and women, and an ultrasound doubles the chance that she will choose life. Say that again, if she gets an ultrasound, it doubles the chance that she'll choose life for her child. One hundred and forty dollars gives free ultrasounds and saves babies. Just twenty eight dollars a month can save a baby a month for less than a dollar a day, and today, thanks to a dollar for dollar match, your gift saves twice as many babies. And if you're looking for the perfect tax deductible year end idea, I can't think of a better one than a fifteen thousand dollars gift providing an ultrasound machine saving thousands of lives for years to Come join me, saving babies right now and making it a merry Christmas call eight three three eight five zero two two two nine.

00:12:01
Speaker 5: And that hard work you mentioned, I just think of before the election. We're we're working in several states, but we're our biggest one is Arizona. And I was asking, we're just talking to Charlie, are we going to win? And he says, I can't promise we're going to win the election. We're going to win Arizona. I promised the President I would win Arizona for him, and he really that hard work element. I A friend of mine who'd worked in the admins said one of Charlie's best traits is if he says he'll take care of something.
00:12:26
Speaker 1: It really does. Yeah. No, if he said he was going to do something, there was no Hey, by the way, get did you get it done? Are you working on this? You just knew it was you know, handled, And so you know, I remember, I mean Arizona. I was out here, you know, a couple of days before the election with Charlie, one of the basically the last like live political events you know, I had done with him prior to the election. And I mean even then, you know, we almost had to cancel event because we got called in you know, some lunatic was I guess threatening me. You know you remember that one. You're like, hey, we don't think we can do this one. It was like we're doing it. And I mean we've had that so many times. I mean, Charlie understood, you know, there there was a mark out there for you know, either one of us. We you know, said the things that needed to be said. We were willing to articulate things that may not have been popular, certainly not to the radical left, even though they really resonated with real Americans. And you know that was an event. Yeah, you were there. I mean it was like, hey, you guys got to cancel this. This guy's on the Lucy's threatning your life, and it's like, yeah, no, we're just going to go do it. And you know, we had no you know, my father wasn't in office, we didn't have the Secret Service, we didn't have anything. But we're just you know, unwilling to take the loss. And that was a consistent theme. I remember even in sixteen, I guess we were at Michigan State University and it was the same thing. You know, you've seen this a thousand times, right, you sell five thousand tickets, the school gives you a room that can hold a thousand because they don't want you to be able to get it out there. They don't want you to be able to speak, and then they have to make sure to let in all the radicals and you know, just to try to shut it down. I mean, it was an active it was an active attempt to war or whatever it is that you know, whatever movement was sort of building. And you know, we got into a room I think, you know, probably one thousand and fifteen hundred people and we're about to go on stage and the Michigan State Police literally pulled us aside and said, hey, uh, you know, we can't stop you from going, but we also can't guarantee your safety. It's it's pretty rowdy out there. And we both looked at each other and basically said, you know, I think we rather get our asses kicked than give them the win, you know, and not go out there. And we did. And we went out and we spoke and like we won over so much of the room that they just it was one of the most energetic, you know, over the many college events that we had done together, because there was that, you know, just sort of lunacy from the left and Charlie did such a good job of being able to talk to them. And you know, I'm a little spark, I run a little hotter, I guess, but you know, for him to be able to start having that conversation and you know, even the people who were reasonable, you know, if you went into that room with an open mind, he was able to win you over. Everyone was not going in there with an open mind. That didn't matter, you know, but we did a good job of just swaying that tide that you know, they basically drowned out all the hatred, all of this and just frankly energized you know, not just the people on our side, but the people in the middle who are saying, you know, this is actually a really reasonable guy, and this actually makes a lot of sense.
00:15:16
Speaker 3: There's been a lot of speculation after Charlie's death, and you see this kind of some infighting, and you know that, and I think people respect in a whole new way what Charlie was actually doing and kind of the glue, you know, I have, I take kind of a middle approach to it that I think we saw some of these fissures coming on the horizon. Maybe it accelerated some of the disagreements. Maybe maybe he was really holding it back. It's it's tough to understand. What do you make of that?
00:15:44
Speaker 5: Are you do?
00:15:44
Speaker 1: You have a new appreciation for it? Did you know one hundred percent? I mean, I listen, I'm used to the you know, the fissures. I'm used to you know, people doing things for clicks. It's like, you know, I get it. You know, politics has become a business for a lot of people, so you know, I get that, but I probably didn't appreciate, you know, just how you know, fragile some of it actually is, and and how much he was able to hold that together or you know, just you know, put a stop to it. But you know, the reality is, you know, Steve Bannon, Ben Shapiro, Tucker, Megan Candice, like, they're not the enemy. I think you know, we have an enemy that's that's truly out to change, you know, the structure of our country. They want to manipulate our children. You know, Charlie understood the bigger picture. And what's nice about our movement is that we are actually willing to hear other opinions. We don't have to sort of blindly agree on everything. We can have those conversations. I'm not sure I love the way some of those conversations have unfolded, you know, certainly in the last couple of months. But you know that's the difference between us and the Democrat Party. Whereas you know, you've seen it a thousand times, like if you're not one hundred percent with everything, you could be a thought leader of their movement for decades and you away on this one issue, you know one percent, Yeah, and you're out, your persona non grata, You're cast aside, despite you know, decades of you know, you know work in that movement. You know, we're a little different. I think why we're able to get to things that make sense is by actually having that conversation in that dialogue. And I thought Charlie did that so well. You know, not just within the movement, which I think we all probably recognized he was holding together or at least stopping you know, perhaps some of the insanity from UH spreading, but by literally every day opening up one of the largest platforms in the world, you know, whether it's his podcast, whether it was just being out there in public for social to those who hated him most, and you know, giving them the opportunity to speak, giving them the mic. And when when people heard both sides of that argument, they realized, oh wait a second. I mean it's why he was so effective on college campuses, which you know, when you say, hey, we got to do college campus tours in sixteen, I was like, are you an your mind, like like this is like that's lost. You know, that's that's over. You know, we'll get him when they're thirty and they start paying taxes. But you know, he was able to do that and have those conversations. And again, once people heard both sides, then they could sort of pick a lane and and run with it, and I think you know that that was perhaps his biggest threat to the other side. You know, not that he was a radical, because Charlie is like the least radical guy I know. Not that he was like a wild man, because that too was not his thing. But his threat was that he was actually so effective at winning over and changing hearts and minds. Uh, you know that, you know that he became you know, much more of a target.
00:18:39
Speaker 3: Yeah. So you know, one of the things that I think is really interesting about, you know, in the aftermath of Charlie's assassination, is that we had Ali's bestucky here and her initial reaction was I don't want to do this anymore. She she was like, I'm this isn't worth it. This isn't worth it. You know, She's a sorry friend get assassinated. She put back, and now she's doubling down. She's she's had a complete reversal on that and she's all in. But you have gone through a lot of the same stuff. I mean, you've been interrogated, you've been brought before committee hearings, You've you know, you've gotten broiled in the whole Russia hoax. Your dad was almost assassinated. And now Charlie, you know you've been kind of not as vocal in the aftermath of the twenty twenty four election. You've been doing business stuff, you know, And I guess what do you make of that for people that are kind of maybe they feel a bit afraid, right, they feel a bit scared? You know what what is that dynamic? What's your advice?
00:19:40
Speaker 1: You know, I get it. I guess perhaps I've been a little bit more, you know, grown accustomed to sort of you know, the threats or the law fair or the political persecution side of stuff. Doing fifty hours of congressional testimony for treason, it's like, oh, it's a crime punishable, but death. That's like my average Tuesday at this point. It's, uh, you know, we've seen the threats. I've opened the you know sort of you know, exploding white powder envelopes at my house on multiple occasions. You know, I guess what I tell those people is I get it, I understand, but think of what the alternative is. You know, that's what they want, right, you know, they want us afraid, they want us silence, they want us unwilling to speak, they want to turn us, you know, from you know, the unsilent you know majority back to you know, the silent majority, and you could see for you know, the last few years. You know, if those people with the persecutions, and I get it. You know, when you lose your bank accounts and you lose your this and you lose you know, you're being investigated it, you know it. It certainly the natural tendency would be to, you know, to run from some of that. But if if you actually have these feelings and you want your children to grow up in a country that they recognize, you actually don't have a choice because as rough as it can be, I think the alternative is, you know, of just giving up and seeding this to you know, the most radical you know factions of our country. You know, I think the end result of that is far worse than any of this, and we've seen it can go very extreme. So you know, I understand, you know, I'm not being glib about that, but we don't have a choice, and we just have to keep going and you know, and do it.
00:21:17
Speaker 3: That's great, that's a great word done. And actually, you know, I've been grateful to your family for a long time. But in the aftermath of what happened with Charlie, that gratitude has reached new heights because I see it in three to mention, Yeah, thank it.
00:21:30
Speaker 1: Please.
00:21:31
Speaker 3: You guys have you guys have literally put up with unimaginable circumstances and threats and lawfare and trying to bankrupt the Trump Org. And I mean it's just it's what haven't they thrown at you? Is where we're at.
00:21:43
Speaker 1: And that's a much shorter list. Yes, But you know, again, I think for us, you know, we have that same sort of you know mentality. You know, if if you have to choose between fight or flight, we just fight. And you know, we were lucky enough to you know, when they went after us with the banks, we sort of you know, went all in on crypto. We came up with solutions to the problems that we were facing.
00:22:01
Speaker 6: Uh.
00:22:02
Speaker 1: And you know, I think a lot of people realized that, you know, if they can do it to Trump, they can do it to anyone. But if they will do it to Trump, and they will do it so flagrantly and so obviously, who won't they do it to? And I think you know that I think that brought a lot of people out of the woodwork because I get it. It's if you don't have that platform, if you don't have that balance sheet to be able to fight back financially, if you don't have any of those things, I could see that being much more daunting, uh to the average person. But again, I think they realized that, you know, if you don't fight now, there's no coming back, like there's no there's no coming back from a communist takeover. And that's just you know, just degrees of bad at that point. And so you know, I think, you know, you almost needed to see that because you know, when I when I started this, and you know, I was a business guy from New York City and we it was great, and I used to get invited to the cool person parties and you're like, well, you know, America this you know, I realized pretty quickly that you know, initially I was sort of fighting for the America I believed in and you know, always thought existed, and you know, this is just a little bit of something. And I realized fairly quickly. And I know Charlie and I had this conversation a lot. It's like we weren't actually fighting to preserve in America that existed. We were fighting to create in America that should have existed the idea of our founding father. So the things that they wanted that had been gone and bastardized for far too long. And so you know, everyone has this notion of their country like no, no, no, man, We're so far beyond that and so far gone. We're not fighting to preserve something, We're fighting to create something that should have always been.
00:23:34
Speaker 7: This is Lane Schomberger, chief investment Officer and founding partner of why 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 Refi.
00:23:54
Speaker 2: I'm want to tell you guys about why refight dot com. That is why are e f y dot com. Why refi is incredible private loan debt in America. Told us about three hundred billion dollars. Why refy is refinancing distress or defaulted private student loans. You can finally take control of your student loan situation with a plan that works for your monthly budget. Go to yrefight dot com. That is why refight dot com. Do you have a co borrower?
00:24:15
Speaker 3: Why reef?
00:24:15
Speaker 2: I can get them released from the loan. You can skip a payment up to twelve times without penalty. It may not be available at all fifty states. Go to yrefight dot com. That is why are e f y dot com.
00:24:26
Speaker 1: Let's face it.
00:24:27
Speaker 2: If you have distress or default the student loans, it can be overwhelming because of privacit loan debt. So many people feel stuck. Go to y refight dot com. That is y r e f y dot com Private student loan debt relief yrefight dot com.
00:24:42
Speaker 5: We have ten minutes we can take questions, So this is your opportunity right there.
00:24:48
Speaker 3: Do we have a mic, emma or all right, she's coming. Let's do it for the mic. So we get in on the pod. Folks at home can hear the questions.
00:24:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul Berg went my pledgemasters from a college so he could ask some serious questions about hazing.
00:25:05
Speaker 8: My name is Daniel, and I'd be remiss if I didn't say anything. I come from Chicago, Illinois, twenty minutes from where Charlie was born and raised from Lake Zurich. As a brother in Christ, I never hurt so much when I heard the news. And with you all and pray for you guys as involved with my church and politics locally, words of encouragement for me as I'm not going to back down from evil as it rears its ugly head, especially in Illinois. People say that it's lost, but I want to fight the good fight and the battle there because it's my home as well a little bit for Charlie as well. What could I do there locally?
00:25:45
Speaker 6: Just words of encouragement.
00:25:46
Speaker 8: Truly, I know I'm going to lie in my hope with God, who is the ruler.
00:25:50
Speaker 1: But simply so, I think, you know, honestly, you know anything to stay engaged, right, I mean, I think we've always we've made this sort of mistake, and you know, we're coming up onto midterm cycles like well, Trump's not on the ballots, so I'm going to stay home and it doesn't really matter, Like no, it matters. Everything matters, you know, It's not what about winning a presidential seat or a Senate see or even congressional stuff. I mean, we we got to win everything down to dogcatcher. We've seen what they've tried doing. You know, what's happened to our education system when the you know, radical left control school boards. You know, get involved in those things, these local elections with a little bit of effort, you know, you know matter and we never did that, you know, we were building businesses or something like that. Is our mindset was, you know, we want government out of our lives, so we're not going to focus on it. But we've seen how each one of those things has been taken over, subverted and weaponized against us that we just have to get involved really across the entire board. The biggest thing is we just can't see any single aspect of these things. And you know, while you know Illinois, I came from the People's Republic of New York, you know, there are still these pockets that we can't just give up. You know, if you do that, we can we can move mountains if you get involved, you do so effectively. I think so much can actually change. And I think you know that that local politics aspect has been something that's forgotten for so long, but frankly could be more important, you know than even you know, the bigger picture of things. They get all perhaps the you know, the glitz and the glam and the rallies, but just have to stay involved. You have to get to your friends. You have to be you know, as we were sort of talking about earlier, you have to essentially become unafraid when you start talking, when you open up those doors to people. It's even honestly, even when I was in New York. I mean, the amount of people that would come by like, hey, great job. You know, the sort of thumbs up under the coat. They don't want anyone else to see it. But you start having these conversations with people and they're like, oh wait, I can I can actually do that. When they see you, you know, actually be able to fight through some of that stuff and come out on top, it changes the mindset. I mean, I talk about my father's being perhaps the most resilient man in the history of American politics. I mean, when he got into this thing, he had no chance of winning a primary. He wasn't going to make it two weeks. It was a marketing stunt. Then he got into a general and he had zero percent of winning basically onto election day. So then he wins, and then they're going to impeach. I mean, they got him this time. And you know, the walls, walls, walls are closing in and every you know, I was like, I don't know that doesn't you know the walls were closing in three days ago. When they release pictures, you know, ninety five thousand pictures for Jeffrey Epstein, He's in like four of them, and they were all like public pictures at like events with adults, but they black out the face to make it seem like it's there. And then you know, now all of a sudden, there's Clinton. Four thousand pictures of Clinton and behind the scenes with miners, and it's like, you know, but people will never even hear those things. You know, they'll they'll never know about those things. It's, you know, what you guys are doing on this show, what perhaps I do on my podcast on Rumble. It's just like getting the information out that no one else is going to put out there. Once you start having these conversations and people realize that that stuff is going on, man, just opening that door for them to walk through a little bit. You know, it's not easy to always be the leader, but when you do, so many people will follow, and when they start having that dialogue and they can do so respectfully like Charlie did so well, you know you you can really you can really change the game. And so the biggest thing is just involved. Get everyone involved. You know, no task is too small.
00:29:04
Speaker 3: All right, next question.
00:29:07
Speaker 6: My name's Kathleen. I'm from Alaska and just really appreciate you and your family. Don't want you to give up. Stay in the game with us, please, we need you.
00:29:17
Speaker 1: We don't know how to give up.
00:29:18
Speaker 6: Okay, But I just want to say an answer in answer to his question. So many other people you don't have to get involved. We need people involved in the electoral process. But I asked someone on the left, a long time Alaskan who was the Fishazar for Alaska for off all our waters internationally, and I said, if you were king for a day of Alaska, what would you do? Because he served under Governor Wally Hickel, and he said, if I were king for a day, I would stack boards and commissions. Every city, every state has boards and commissions for every subject under the sun. And you don't have to get elected for that. You just have to put your name in the hat and you can get appointed. And if you stack boards and commissions, which is the ground level of entry to everything else, and it covers the subjects. You can be a voice that gains more voice.
00:30:12
Speaker 1: We did.
00:30:13
Speaker 6: I was on a board and commission for federal overreach in Alaska and it was amazing what we were able to accomplish. So I just encourage people.
00:30:20
Speaker 1: That's an entry level way to get in one hundred percent.
00:30:23
Speaker 9: Right, Thank you, yeah, thank you mister Trump for doing all you do. I heard something here at Turning Point, USA that was very disturbing about the pastor's son in South Korea. He's been in prison for over one hundred and five days for being a Christian and preaching the gospel. He rose up at Mega church from a mud hut. And I think it would be awesome if you could maybe put some pressure or talk to your father about putting some pressure on South through where to get him out of prison.
00:30:55
Speaker 1: I actually just heard about this, Betina. I bet he just sent it to me yesterday.
00:31:01
Speaker 6: Uh.
00:31:02
Speaker 1: So you know I write about that, but I've actually I've been over to South Korea a bunch. I've spoken at I think one of the largest evangelical church in the world. Uh. And you know, obviously there's you know, it's not easy to be evangelical and in South Korea even but I know there's a lot of that stuff going on. I just heard about the story, you know, yesterday for the first time, so you know, pastors probably.
00:31:25
Speaker 3: It was two weeks before, a week before Charlie was assassinate was a week before, not even not even.
00:31:29
Speaker 1: Four days, and then I think I may have actually met when I was in Korea. It was sort of a rapid fire and Sun here.
00:31:35
Speaker 3: And yeah, we're we're gon, We've we're going to get uh those notes to the administration for sure, Yeah we are. And don you can help? Yeah, yeah, it's a it's a it's a grave injustice. What happened to him? He basically, you know, said something political and in South Korea you're not allowed to do that if you're a Christian.
00:31:54
Speaker 1: Mister Trump, how are you today, sir? Doing well? Wonderfully?
00:31:59
Speaker 10: Like you, I'm also from the People's Republic of New.
00:32:01
Speaker 1: York as well.
00:32:03
Speaker 10: But putting that to the side, Charlie Kirk absolutely was and still is to this day, my hero. And I was just wondering, what advice would you give to a person like me to help uphold the wonderful legacy that he left behind in terms of his pursuit of civil discourse and trying to bridge divides and reach out to people on the other side of the aisle.
00:32:27
Speaker 1: Just get out there and have the discourse. You know, when when he wasn't used to doing that, when we started in sixteen, he just started doing it. You know, it wasn't a thing. It wasn't popular. There wasn't the you know, prove me wrong type tours that you know, that didn't exist. We sort of just you know, created it on the fly by having those things. And so again, just that willingness to get out there, the willingness to have those conversations. You can do that respectfully. You don't have to do it, you know, from an attack perspective. And I think when people see that and they start, you know, you back things up with actual facts, you know, you'd be surprised. I was frankly surprised. You know, how many people you can win over who you know, may not agree on much on a lot of these things, but.
00:33:06
Speaker 3: You've seen it, you're One of my favorite montages that our team put together was from some of these tours. I think Emma actually put it together where it was like all these people kind of would say, you know, Charlie would give a hat. Do you want you know, do you want a hat? Because you came and you disagreed, and if I convinced you and you can have a hat if you want, and they'd be like, give me the hat, give me the hat. And there's this montage of all these kids getting convinced, and you know, you put that on social media and it was you know, multiply that by probably millions.
00:33:34
Speaker 1: Thank you, mister Trump.
00:33:35
Speaker 3: Thank you, all right, last question.
00:33:40
Speaker 4: Thank you, mister Trump. So my name's Matthew. I was born in the Bay Area in nineteen ninety six, and so I grew up all these leftists institutions taken over our schools, and I grew up as a young man where I was made to feel evil because of my identity basically as I you know, even though I hadn't done anything. So my question for you is, you know, there are a lot of young men who are angry and frustrated and resentful because of the direction that the messaging has taken and the economy, and you know, things are just very hard, and so do you have a message for these young men who are angry and struggling, well.
00:34:22
Speaker 1: I think you should be. I mean I spoke about it a lot on social media this week. You saw sort of, you know, for the last twenty years, the implementation of DEI. I mean, if you were a young white male especially, it's like it didn't matter if you were qualified to go to an Ivy League school, you weren't getting in. You weren't getting the promotion. You know, there's literally a you know, a generation or two of men that are going to have a hard time ever achieving that full potential because they were essentially shut out of the workforce, they were shut out of academia. But I think those people still had that potential. It was you know, pulled away from them in many respects, but I think, you know, like everything else, you just have to keep going. There's no way to undo that, unfortunately. But I think with that potential that they had, I think there's other ways that you can do things. There's you know, in the world in which we live right now. That's it's there's such a dynamic change with AI and everything going on right now. I think there's opportunities to take those talents and be able to, you know, gain back those those losses that were so unfairly taken from you. But I get it. It's we're trying to end that right now. My father signed some eos this week, you know, to stop that sort of essentially reverse racism. You know that was going on against everyone, and you were you weren't going to get those jobs, you weren't going to get into those schools, you weren't going to get you know, the promotion. But you were privileged. And if you were pissed about it, then you're a racist or something. I don't. You know, it doesn't have to make sense. Uh, you know, when they controlled, when they controlled the media, and they controlled the narrative, when they controlled all of social and tech, you know, it didn't matter that you're you're just bitter, and you should be. But that doesn't mean you should give up either. I think there's a lot of potentially you just have to get back out there and do it.
00:35:59
Speaker 3: And I'm convent Way and Charlie and the Trump family, you guys are great examples because you know a lot of people think Charlie was like created in a Petrie dish by like billionaire donors or something. Like this, you know, the r n C and like nothing could be further from the truth. He yeah, you get me.
00:36:17
Speaker 1: Soon, too soon. I'm sorry, I've heard. Yeah, that was a great interview until then.
00:36:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, so thanks for.
00:36:28
Speaker 9: To get back.
00:36:30
Speaker 3: So we you know, but you know, Charlie basically had the door slammed in his face more times than it was opened for a long long time, and he just was an entrepreneur about it. He was so disruptive and he worked so hard that eventually he just he just forced the door to break down in front of him. And you know, you guys, you think about your president, your father's presidential run. I mean, yeah, he had to. It was a hostile takeover. You had to force the way into the the apparatus of the GOP and so whatever that those barriers are. I mean, I just believe Charlie is the living embodiment of He was just so dogged and so determined that it wasn't gonna he wasn't gonna be told no. And I think that's the the perspective we have to have in this country. Yeah, well, we gotta get you back, stay, I gotta give a speech. You're gonna go address about thirty one thousand people, so don't.
00:37:24
Speaker 1: Screw I'll try not to blow it.
00:37:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, and millions watching online. Everybody, ladies and gentlemen, Don Junior, Thank.
00:37:30
Speaker 1: You, guys, thank you, thank you very much, sir.
