[00:00:14] The Charlie Kirk show begins in 10
[00:00:17] seconds.
[00:00:21] [Music]
[00:00:25] I talk to a lot of young people on
[00:00:27] campuses, at our events, on my radio
[00:00:30] show, podcast, and social media. Said
[00:00:33] differently, I visit college campuses so
[00:00:35] you don't have to.
[00:00:39] [Applause]
[00:00:40] We're talking to so many voters that
[00:00:43] know it is time for change. They know
[00:00:45] that something is wrong. America's
[00:00:47] future is a series of choices. Our
[00:00:51] current state of slow motion national
[00:00:55] decline is a choice. Today is our
[00:01:01] 2-year-old's birthday.
[00:01:03] And I look at my daughter and that is my
[00:01:06] why. For those that are parents, you
[00:01:08] know exactly what I mean.
[00:01:10] >> There is no mountain that stands tall as
[00:01:14] your faithfulness.
[00:01:19] There is no river that runs wide as your
[00:01:24] goodness,
[00:01:25] [Music]
[00:01:38] >> man. Charlie, uh, I I remember when we
[00:01:41] were starting these out and
[00:01:43] >> it was that like that,
[00:01:44] >> you know, it was like this. It was like
[00:01:46] it was like your average
[00:01:47] >> first three rows. It was like your
[00:01:48] average political meeting where there
[00:01:49] was like 12 people in a room and uh this
[00:01:52] is this is awesome.
[00:01:56] >> This, in my personal opinion, was the
[00:01:59] most over-the-top Trump event that I've
[00:02:02] ever covered.
[00:02:03] >> This is the number one boots on the
[00:02:04] ground operation in the country. We're
[00:02:06] working directly in harmony with the
[00:02:07] Trump campaign. It's been vetted. It's
[00:02:09] been cleared. It's been blessed as you
[00:02:10] could see there. And we're going to try
[00:02:11] to win this thing. No guarantees. It's
[00:02:13] what we do that matters.
[00:02:14] >> Mr. President, I can tell you this room
[00:02:16] is 100% with you. and we have your back.
[00:02:18] God bless you. Thank you.
[00:02:24] [Music]
[00:02:28] [Applause]
[00:02:29] [Music]
[00:02:32] As you know, we are heading on campus
[00:02:35] here momentarily at the University of
[00:02:37] South Florida, throwing it down with the
[00:02:40] students. It's going to be a lot of fun.
[00:02:42] Uh we are excited to continue this
[00:02:44] cultural movement that we have started
[00:02:45] at Turning Point USA. More high school
[00:02:48] chapters, more college chapters, and
[00:02:50] disagreement is not just welcome, it is
[00:02:53] invited. We want to have those tough
[00:02:55] conversations. That's what it's all
[00:02:56] about.
[00:02:57] [Applause]
[00:02:58] [Music]
[00:02:59] [Applause]
[00:03:03] [Music]
[00:03:05] [Applause]
[00:03:06] [Music]
[00:03:08] [Applause]
[00:03:09] [Music]
[00:03:19] because you're not supposed to be
[00:03:20] involved in this. You're supposed to
[00:03:22] just kind of be on the vote for me every
[00:03:24] four years, give me more political
[00:03:26] power, and stay out of my business. And
[00:03:27] what has happened is we are seeing an
[00:03:29] explosion in citizen participation.
[00:03:33] There is nothing
[00:03:36] else following me.
[00:03:42] All my days
[00:03:45] your mercy follow me.
[00:03:51] [Applause]
[00:03:52] Oh, there is nothing else
[00:03:57] I'll ever need. Knock on that extra
[00:04:00] door. Go that extra mile. talk to that
[00:04:02] extra friend because throughout voting
[00:04:05] month and culminating on the 5th of
[00:04:07] November, I believe it will go down as a
[00:04:10] day that people remember, as a day that
[00:04:13] is written about in history books, as
[00:04:15] the final battle from the golden
[00:04:18] escalator on down. From defeating
[00:04:20] Hillary Clinton, from the nonsense of
[00:04:22] 2020, from Butler, Pennsylvania,
[00:04:24] November 5th, it all culminates where we
[00:04:27] restore the promise that the founders
[00:04:29] gave us. and they said, "Hey, if the
[00:04:32] people want it, the people get it, and
[00:04:34] we the people take back America. God
[00:04:36] bless Arizona." And thank you so much.
[00:04:41] [Music]
[00:04:48] Every day, the American people demand
[00:04:51] certain accomplishments and victories.
[00:04:54] Disagreement is what keeps a movement
[00:04:55] alive, keeps a movement fun. Here in
[00:04:58] this country, we are a country of
[00:05:00] flourishing. We're a country of
[00:05:02] risk-taking. We're a country of
[00:05:04] building. We will achieve American
[00:05:07] greatness. And we are just getting
[00:05:09] started. All my days
[00:05:12] your mercy followed me.
[00:05:18] [Music]
[00:06:48] [Music]
[00:06:52] [Applause]
[00:06:53] [Music]
[00:06:55] Every day there's a battle for your mind
[00:06:58] raging. Information coming from every
[00:07:00] angle with the will to deceive. Fear
[00:07:03] not. You found the place for truth. The
[00:07:06] voice of a generation that still has the
[00:07:08] will to believe in the greatest country
[00:07:10] in the history of the world. This is the
[00:07:13] Charlie Kirk show. Buckle up. Here we
[00:07:17] go. I remember driving around and as a
[00:07:20] sophomore and a junior in high school
[00:07:22] listening to your radio program in the
[00:07:24] morning.
[00:07:24] >> I wasn't there when you gave the speech
[00:07:26] at the Lincoln Memorial. Is that right?
[00:07:31] >> But I saw it. I remember saw it being
[00:07:32] simoc casted and uh you you said some
[00:07:35] very I think prophetic things there.
[00:07:37] >> I know it. I have been looking for the
[00:07:40] next George Washington.
[00:07:44] >> I can't find him. He may be 8 years old,
[00:07:47] but this is the moment.
[00:07:49] >> And now 18-year-old Charlie Kirk is
[00:07:51] saying enough is enough.
[00:07:53] >> This is Charlie Kirk reporting from
[00:07:55] Marquette University. I I like ideas. I
[00:07:57] don't like politicians. I don't like
[00:07:59] parties. I like principle. Do not go
[00:08:01] quietly when truth is on the line.
[00:08:04] >> I mean, democratic socialism, you know,
[00:08:06] the people's social, it's socialism,
[00:08:08] which inherently means the following. It
[00:08:10] is immoral. It is evil. It is
[00:08:12] impractical when put in practice.
[00:08:13] >> Do not surrender to the shadows.
[00:08:17] But I'm here for the silent majority
[00:08:19] that is silent no longer to give them
[00:08:21] the courage, confidence, and conviction
[00:08:23] to fight on campuses.
[00:08:26] >> Even when and especially if
[00:08:30] you think the battle can no longer be
[00:08:32] won.
[00:08:34] >> We're not going to allow the ruling
[00:08:35] class elites, the radical left to
[00:08:38] continue to destroy this country from
[00:08:40] within. And we are a movement here that
[00:08:42] is growing by leaps and bounds. Charlie
[00:08:44] Kirk lived that mandate
[00:08:47] >> and I believe that marriage is a
[00:08:48] beautiful thing and I believe that
[00:08:50] having children is a moral good for
[00:08:51] society.
[00:08:52] >> Biggest blessing.
[00:08:52] >> Oh, without a doubt.
[00:08:53] >> I don't think you know the impact. You
[00:08:56] say, "Oh, Glenn, you made an impact on
[00:08:58] my life." Do you realize the impact
[00:09:00] you're having on the country? Remember
[00:09:02] when I did the thing in Washington DC
[00:09:04] and restoring honor?
[00:09:05] >> I do. And I said, "Somewhere in this
[00:09:08] crowd, maybe he's seven, maybe he's 15,
[00:09:13] somewhere in this crowd is the next
[00:09:14] George Washington."
[00:09:16] >> And 25 years from now,
[00:09:20] he will come not to this stair, but to
[00:09:23] those stairs.
[00:09:24] >> We want to overemphasize grace when in
[00:09:27] reality, Christ loves us too much
[00:09:31] >> to have us continue to live in sin. He
[00:09:33] wants us to try to elevate our actions
[00:09:35] to glorify God in all that we do.
[00:09:40] >> And he can proclaim, "I have a new
[00:09:44] dream."
[00:09:44] >> I just went to church for the first time
[00:09:47] in several years.
[00:09:49] >> Today we went to church for the first
[00:09:51] time in a really long time.
[00:09:53] >> I've never ever
[00:09:55] opened a Bible before and something was
[00:09:57] calling me to my husband's Bible.
[00:09:59] >> Here's the line for the second service.
[00:10:01] And there's never a line.
[00:10:03] Jesus of Nazareth. And the resurrection
[00:10:05] is the is the pinpoint of my belief that
[00:10:08] Jesus did rise from the grave so that we
[00:10:10] may live. The light is dimming, yes,
[00:10:15] but it always does before the dawn.
[00:10:19] [Music]
[00:10:23] Hello, my name is Glenn Beck and I am
[00:10:34] a friend of Charlie Kirks.
[00:10:40] You may not know who I am, but uh one
[00:10:43] thing I am known uh for is uh
[00:10:47] my emotions. And uh I think we're going
[00:10:50] to need a tarp today. Um this is I knew
[00:10:55] this was going to be
[00:11:01] difficult,
[00:11:07] but to sit in the studio.
[00:11:23] right next to his chair
[00:11:26] is more difficult than I uh imagined.
[00:11:35] I want to talk to you a little bit about
[00:11:36] the future,
[00:11:38] but I want to talk to you a little bit
[00:11:40] about my friend as well.
[00:11:47] I knew Charlie when he was young.
[00:11:51] I first met him, I think he was 17 years
[00:11:53] old.
[00:11:58] He was amazing.
[00:12:02] He was so well read,
[00:12:06] so smart, so
[00:12:09] clear.
[00:12:13] I thought, "This is an amazing man." I
[00:12:14] remember the first time I met Ben
[00:12:17] Shapiro. I think he was 13 years old. I
[00:12:19] interviewed him the first time he was
[00:12:22] sitting on his family's washing machine
[00:12:26] doing an interview with me and he said
[00:12:30] he was on a phone that used to have it
[00:12:33] was a hard line so it had the phone wire
[00:12:36] that he had to pull it all the way
[00:12:38] around and he couldn't keep his sister
[00:12:41] quiet so he went in and closed it on the
[00:12:44] phone wire and sat on the washing
[00:12:45] machine stop it I'm gonna be on the Glen
[00:12:48] Beck Oh,
[00:12:50] and he was impressive.
[00:12:54] But there was something special about
[00:12:55] Charlie Kirk.
[00:13:00] I want to share a story.
[00:13:18] that
[00:13:23] I've never shared before
[00:13:26] and I so regret
[00:13:30] that we ran out of time.
[00:13:35] It's a story that
[00:13:38] I had hoped to tell Charlie myself
[00:13:41] in the next couple of months.
[00:13:48] When I first met Charlie, and this the
[00:13:51] kind of guy he was, he was so gracious.
[00:13:54] I first met him, he was young,
[00:13:57] and I said, "So, what do you want to do?
[00:13:59] What is it you want? What What do you
[00:14:01] want to do?
[00:14:05] so gracious. He said, "I want to be you.
[00:14:08] I want to do what you do."
[00:14:11] Let me translate.
[00:14:13] I want to be Rush Limba.
[00:14:16] He didn't want to be me. He wanted to be
[00:14:18] Rush Limbbo. He wanted to be one of the,
[00:14:20] as Rush said, radio's greatest of all
[00:14:24] time.
[00:14:27] And I remember thinking, "Well, kid,
[00:14:31] maybe someday." because I think you have
[00:14:33] it.
[00:14:37] I brought something with me today that I
[00:14:40] thought was appropriate while I did the
[00:14:42] show
[00:14:44] that I would sit in front of Charlie's
[00:14:46] microphone.
[00:14:49] It was given to me after the death of
[00:14:52] Rush Limbbo by his wife.
[00:14:55] It is Rush's golden microphone.
[00:15:16] I think it's appropriate
[00:15:21] that it sits in front of Charlie's
[00:15:24] microphone.
[00:15:31] What I would have
[00:15:34] said to Charlie
[00:15:43] was you were thinking too small.
[00:15:49] I want to be Rush Limbbo someday.
[00:15:53] I'm a broadcaster. Rush was a
[00:15:54] broadcaster.
[00:15:56] But Charlie was a broadcaster and a
[00:15:59] narrowcaster.
[00:16:01] Charlie was a pastor and a priest. And
[00:16:06] listening to the way he could argue and
[00:16:08] think differently, he was a rabbi as
[00:16:11] well and one of the best. He was a
[00:16:14] political organizer. He was a political
[00:16:17] think tank himself.
[00:16:22] He was a compassionate friend.
[00:16:26] He surpassed Rush Limbbo
[00:16:32] by miles.
[00:16:35] We'll continue in a minute.
[00:16:38] [Music]
[00:16:45] We must stop calling Charlie anything
[00:16:48] other than a civil rights leader.
[00:16:52] We need to plant that stake deep.
[00:16:56] It is time that we point out that what
[00:17:01] he was doing was not politics. What he
[00:17:04] was doing was trying to stand up for
[00:17:06] people's civil rights to show people how
[00:17:10] a civilization is not a civilization.
[00:17:13] Unless you can have a dialogue with
[00:17:16] people who are diametrically opposed to
[00:17:18] you that that don't believe anything
[00:17:20] that you believe in and yet you can have
[00:17:23] a civil dialogue and how important that
[00:17:26] is. That's our civil right, our right to
[00:17:29] free speech. And that gunman was trying
[00:17:32] to take that right away from him and
[00:17:35] from you and everyone else. Shut up. You
[00:17:38] will be silenced. You will not say those
[00:17:40] things. And there has been a force in
[00:17:42] this country to try to convince people
[00:17:44] that you don't have a right that you
[00:17:47] have a responsibility to silence others.
[00:17:50] You don't. In this country, one of our
[00:17:52] main civil rights is we can express
[00:17:55] ourselves the way we feel we need to
[00:17:58] express ourselves. And I'm sorry if you
[00:18:00] don't like it. You have to just take it
[00:18:04] and then say, "I'd like to have a
[00:18:06] discussion with you on that. I'd like to
[00:18:07] know how you got there. I'd like to have
[00:18:09] the opportunity to to argue against that
[00:18:12] and you have that right to argue against
[00:18:14] it. And hopefully if we are more like
[00:18:17] Charlie Kirk, we're having those
[00:18:18] dialogues with each other in a civilized
[00:18:21] fashion. But make no mistake, Charlie
[00:18:23] Kirk was a civil rights leader as much
[00:18:25] as Martin Luther King.
[00:18:27] >> Found liable for slander in a slanted
[00:18:30] Manhattan jury. Tell me, what year was
[00:18:32] she raped?
[00:18:33] >> Oh, I don't know.
[00:18:33] >> She doesn't know either, actually. when
[00:18:35] she was asked
[00:18:37] >> the the court found
[00:18:38] >> No, they did not. A jury found him
[00:18:40] liable for smear and slander around this
[00:18:42] topic. Do you know that Eugene Carol
[00:18:43] said quote rape is sexy?
[00:18:46] >> She said that on air on the Anderson
[00:18:48] Cooper show. Eene Carol says you know
[00:18:50] the facts surrounding the case.
[00:18:52] >> Uh a little bit.
[00:18:53] >> Tell me.
[00:18:54] >> No. No. All right. All right. All right.
[00:18:57] Okay.
[00:18:58] >> Tell me. Um, Trump
[00:19:01] was, I don't know, indicted, found
[00:19:03] guilty for sexual abuse over her because
[00:19:06] he fingered her unconscious.
[00:19:07] >> He was, he was never ever indicted. He
[00:19:09] was never that this was a civil case
[00:19:11] that was around her, this was around
[00:19:13] smear and slander and defamation. Again,
[00:19:15] according to Eugene Carol's
[00:19:17] recollection, she can't remember the
[00:19:18] year, but she says, "Some afternoon,
[00:19:20] Donald Trump took me into a Tiffany
[00:19:22] store, at the height of his power, at
[00:19:23] the height of his popularity, when he
[00:19:25] was on the front cover of Playboy
[00:19:26] magazine and decided to go rape Eene
[00:19:29] Carol." Really? We're supposed to
[00:19:30] believe that?
[00:19:31] >> I don't I've seen pictures of Trump of
[00:19:33] uh Donald Trump and Epstein hanging out.
[00:19:36] >> Oh, yeah.
[00:19:38] >> You know, you know, he he kicked him out
[00:19:39] of the Mara Lago Club. What's the next
[00:19:41] point? Uh because Epstein raped kids and
[00:19:45] >> yeah,
[00:19:46] >> you have to kick him out if he rapes
[00:19:48] kids. Like you can't have that personal.
[00:19:51] >> Got it. So what what's the contention?
[00:19:53] >> Uh I don't He raped kids.
[00:19:56] >> Trump Trump raped kids.
[00:19:58] >> Yeah. Jean Carol when she was 13.
[00:20:01] >> She wasn't 13. This the accusation was
[00:20:03] when in her late 20s, not when she was
[00:20:05] 13.
[00:20:06] >> 13.
[00:20:10] your typical liberal. Everybody give it
[00:20:11] up for him. Thank you very much.
[00:20:15] >> The government.
[00:20:16] >> No, I love
[00:20:17] >> Thank you.
[00:20:21] >> Thank you. Thank you.
[00:20:29] >> Good afternoon, Charlie. Thank you.
[00:20:33] >> Yeah. Okay. Thank you for letting me
[00:20:36] speech. I'm u studying abroad from Italy
[00:20:39] for this semester. I sorry.
[00:20:42] >> Yeah, from Roma. I I've seen your videos
[00:20:45] online and uh I really respect what uh
[00:20:48] what you are doing here. I have a
[00:20:50] question because in Europe you are
[00:20:51] facing the same problem with illegal
[00:20:53] immigration and what are your stance on
[00:20:57] illegal families who came here many
[00:20:59] years ago and now are working and paying
[00:21:01] taxes in your country? Every person who
[00:21:04] has come here illegally must be returned
[00:21:06] to their country of origin.
[00:21:07] >> And and I completely agree with you. I'm
[00:21:12] here to say something. I really like the
[00:21:14] speech that JD Vance did in Munich after
[00:21:17] the terrorist attack.
[00:21:19] >> Do we like JD Vance? Everybody. Isn't JD
[00:21:21] great?
[00:21:23] >> Well, I'm not American, but I like him
[00:21:25] too. If I were American, I would have
[00:21:26] voted for him. However, um
[00:21:31] in in Europe, we having a a big problem
[00:21:34] with illegal immigration. People are
[00:21:36] coming that they don't respect our laws
[00:21:38] that raping women stabbing is dangerous
[00:21:41] to go around. So, I don't understand
[00:21:44] when people come here to talk to you,
[00:21:46] liberals and democrats saying that they
[00:21:48] want to welcome the them because you
[00:21:50] don't know who is entering in your
[00:21:51] country.
[00:21:52] >> Amen. And I'll tell you, we need more
[00:21:53] legal immigrants like you in this
[00:21:55] country. I'll tell you why.
[00:21:57] And it makes me upset that for me, for
[00:21:59] me it's difficult. I'm respecting the
[00:22:01] law. I'm here. If I I have to be here
[00:22:03] legally, I'm going to go back to Italy
[00:22:04] because I cannot work. And it makes me
[00:22:06] upset seeing someone that comes here
[00:22:08] illegally and does whatever he wants.
[00:22:10] That's it.
[00:22:10] >> God bless you.
[00:22:15] [Music]
[00:22:22] >> Andrew Kovette is with us.
[00:22:25] You were here
[00:22:28] a week ago. We're a week away. And what?
[00:22:33] Same time.
[00:22:35] >> Yeah, we're probably about
[00:22:38] 2 hours or so out from,
[00:22:42] you know, the the exact time of being a
[00:22:45] week.
[00:22:46] >> How are you doing? How's everybody at
[00:22:48] Turning Point doing? Well, after you
[00:22:51] made everybody ball their eyes out uh in
[00:22:54] your first segment, you're open, Glenn,
[00:22:55] and I I mean,
[00:22:57] >> I just I have to say thank you for that.
[00:23:00] I I can't even believe I'm seated so
[00:23:04] close to Rush's golden EIB microphone.
[00:23:07] >> And Charlie and I,
[00:23:09] >> I can't say how many times we said the
[00:23:11] golden ei microphone.
[00:23:13] >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:23:14] >> And uh you It was beautiful. We were all
[00:23:17] crying out in the control room. And so I
[00:23:21] am right now in this moment very
[00:23:22] emotional
[00:23:24] >> and I know that you watched his story
[00:23:26] grow and that tribute about the the next
[00:23:30] George Washington and
[00:23:31] >> and how he was Charlie was so aware of
[00:23:34] that speech you gave and he wasn't there
[00:23:35] in person but he watched he watched it u
[00:23:38] somewhere else uh live and um I u I
[00:23:43] right now I don't have many words
[00:23:45] because of how moving that was you Oh, I
[00:23:49] said the other day, and I don't mean
[00:23:51] this I mean
[00:23:55] I'm not saying this to self-randise um
[00:23:59] at all,
[00:24:01] but I looked at him
[00:24:04] almost
[00:24:06] like a professional son, you know what I
[00:24:09] mean? I looked at him and because I
[00:24:11] watched him from a distance and I and I
[00:24:14] saw him young and I saw his desires and
[00:24:20] how he built and everything that he did.
[00:24:22] And as I was thinking about that, as I
[00:24:25] packed that microphone up yesterday, I I
[00:24:28] was thinking about him and I thought
[00:24:32] Charlie would have been president.
[00:24:34] >> Yeah,
[00:24:35] >> Charlie would have been president. Rush
[00:24:37] wasn't president. Rush didn't have a
[00:24:38] desire to be president. And I don't know
[00:24:40] if Rush would have made a good I'd make
[00:24:41] a horrible president. I don't know. Rush
[00:24:43] would have been a better president than
[00:24:45] me. Charlie could have been a great
[00:24:48] president. He He
[00:24:51] surpassed all of us. I don't know if
[00:24:54] there's another person in history on our
[00:24:57] side, at least in the last 150 years,
[00:25:01] that was like Charlie. to replace
[00:25:03] Charlie, you need maybe six people at
[00:25:07] the top of their craft to cover
[00:25:10] everything that he has done.
[00:25:12] >> Yeah. You know,
[00:25:14] I can't tell you how many times I was
[00:25:16] with Charlie and people would beg him,
[00:25:17] you have to run for president. You have
[00:25:19] to run for president. And Charlie would
[00:25:20] always, you know, say, no, no, no. I'm
[00:25:22] I'm happy doing what I'm doing. And I
[00:25:24] will say Charlie was
[00:25:27] >> the existence of JD Vance
[00:25:29] >> Mhm. gave Charlie a lot of emotional
[00:25:31] freedom to say that next man up is JD.
[00:25:35] Our job is to support JD. Yeah.
[00:25:37] >> And I uh you know, we wouldn't
[00:25:39] necessarily be loud and proud about that
[00:25:41] on this show because we understand
[00:25:42] there's dynamics, but
[00:25:44] >> you know, Charlie was in so many ways
[00:25:48] being honed and sharpened and
[00:25:52] >> he was
[00:25:52] >> Yeah. for such a job. And there was
[00:25:54] >> Look at the difference in him in 10
[00:25:56] years.
[00:25:57] >> Yeah.
[00:25:57] >> 15 years. Look at the difference in him.
[00:25:59] >> Can you imagine if he had 10 more years
[00:26:01] to keep sharpening? Oh my gosh. I mean,
[00:26:03] and people need to understand that. Yes,
[00:26:05] Charlie was a brilliant communicator.
[00:26:06] Yes, he was an autodidact who kept
[00:26:08] studying the classics and political and
[00:26:10] philosophy and theology and all these
[00:26:12] things. And he was deeply deeply sincere
[00:26:15] in his faith, but he was also so skilled
[00:26:18] at the quiet things, the behind the
[00:26:20] scenes things. And he would honor
[00:26:22] people. He was trusted. If if you got
[00:26:25] into a heated discussion in private with
[00:26:27] Charlie, nobody would ever hear about
[00:26:28] that. If anything happened, he because
[00:26:31] his goal was to keep people together. He
[00:26:33] understood that there are so many forces
[00:26:35] in our world, in our politics that are
[00:26:37] ripping everybody apart. And I said this
[00:26:39] I said this yesterday, but it bears
[00:26:41] repeating. He just a few weeks before
[00:26:43] his death, he sent me this hierarchy of
[00:26:46] what the Greeks considered to be the
[00:26:48] highest virtues and the highest
[00:26:49] callings. And he said to me, he
[00:26:52] said,"Andrew, we are not the actors and
[00:26:55] the entertainers that are at the
[00:26:56] bottom." That's how the Greeks put it.
[00:26:58] He said, "We we need to strive to be
[00:27:00] statesmen and philosophers up at the top
[00:27:03] and theologians."
[00:27:04] >> And he said, "This is what we're trying
[00:27:06] to be. Not that anybody could do that.
[00:27:08] Not everybody can do that." And God, he
[00:27:10] he knew that God had put him in a
[00:27:12] position that he could keep people
[00:27:15] together. And so, you know, there would
[00:27:16] be times where everybody wanted us to go
[00:27:19] all in on this story or go all in on
[00:27:20] that. And Charlie saw three steps ahead
[00:27:23] all the time. He was always thinking
[00:27:24] long term, what will that do to the
[00:27:26] movement? And so, he would craft his
[00:27:28] messaging and his strategy. And, you
[00:27:31] know, who we invited to what, you know,
[00:27:33] around how do you how do you manage this
[00:27:35] current moment so that everybody is
[00:27:37] still a part of this thing.
[00:27:40] >> I can't thank you enough for inviting us
[00:27:43] >> to be here. We are enough for coming.
[00:27:45] >> No, I mean it is an honor. I called Stu
[00:27:47] yesterday and I said, "Steu, you should
[00:27:49] come with me." And he said, "This this
[00:27:50] is history in the making." I mean,
[00:27:53] >> it's an honor to be here.
[00:27:54] >> Yeah. Well, you honor us and you're a
[00:27:56] beautiful tribute and open to him. And I
[00:27:58] know we're not done yet, but no,
[00:28:00] >> I I I can't thank you enough.
[00:28:02] >> Thank you. God bless. And God bless
[00:28:04] everybody at TPUSA. Want to get
[00:28:06] involved? Go to tpusa.com.
[00:28:11] [Music]
[00:28:15] Hamilton and Madison and Jay who were
[00:28:17] the obviously the designers of and
[00:28:19] explainers of the US Constitution. They
[00:28:22] wanted spirited tension between the
[00:28:24] branches. They they they wanted
[00:28:25] collision. They wanted the branches to
[00:28:28] kind of not to be at war with each other
[00:28:29] but to have different opinions on how
[00:28:32] governing should they this idea that the
[00:28:34] executive branch must bend a knee
[00:28:36] because Congress has appropriated the
[00:28:38] money. And so look in addition to that
[00:28:41] is if we can get this is where the other
[00:28:42] thing is that I was pushing for and I
[00:28:44] don't think it's going to happen is if
[00:28:46] we can reauthorize the presidential
[00:28:47] reorganization act which has been
[00:28:48] authorized in many times which
[00:28:50] essentially says if an agency can do the
[00:28:53] work that is duplicative of another
[00:28:55] agency it no longer needs to exist. So
[00:28:57] let's just take the department of
[00:28:58] education which needs to end it. The
[00:29:00] department of education needs to be shut
[00:29:01] down. Do you guys agree? And the
[00:29:02] department of education. So, do you
[00:29:04] believe do you believe Linda McMahon cuz
[00:29:07] she's a great manager.
[00:29:08] >> She's phenomenal.
[00:29:09] >> Is she a managed to the close?
[00:29:13] >> She she shares the president's stated
[00:29:16] plan to close the Department of
[00:29:17] Education. But let's just take three
[00:29:19] examples how that can happen before you
[00:29:20] close it. Student loans. What? That
[00:29:23] should be under Department of Treasury.
[00:29:24] Put that under Treasury. There's no
[00:29:25] reason it should be there.
[00:29:26] >> Wait, wait, wait, wait. Why do we have
[00:29:28] it? That was the problem.
[00:29:29] >> I agree. That's going to require
[00:29:31] Congress. Like that's what I'm getting
[00:29:32] at though is at least you can break
[00:29:34] apart. I agree. We should get rid of any
[00:29:36] subsidized student loans. I'm just
[00:29:38] getting at this is the way that you can
[00:29:39] actually weaken an agency to no longer
[00:29:41] exist through duplicative type
[00:29:43] processing.
[00:29:44] >> School assisted lunch, you can make an
[00:29:46] argument for it or against it.
[00:29:48] >> But school assisted lunch basically that
[00:29:49] the taxpayers need to, you know, pay for
[00:29:51] lunch. That could be under Department of
[00:29:52] Agriculture. They do food stamps. Much
[00:29:53] better done. Then finally, they have
[00:29:55] this whole separate office of the
[00:29:56] Department of Education that is Senate
[00:29:58] confirmed tier 2 position that is the
[00:30:00] Office of Civil Rights. Put that under
[00:30:02] the Department of Justice. They don't
[00:30:03] need your own civil rights division in
[00:30:05] the Department of Education that goes
[00:30:06] and harasses our Christian schools and
[00:30:08] goes after conservative kids. So, you
[00:30:10] can completely close that. That's three
[00:30:12] functions. All of a sudden, the
[00:30:13] Department of Education inherently
[00:30:15] weakens. And and you know this, Glenn,
[00:30:16] the Department of Education actually
[00:30:18] never existed. It used to be called HEW,
[00:30:20] Health, Education, and Welfare. Yep. And
[00:30:23] in fact we could we could remmerge these
[00:30:25] together and then we could find
[00:30:27] duplicative type processes and better
[00:30:30] better synergies. That is even before we
[00:30:31] get more to the fundamental question of
[00:30:33] which I have and you have I don't think
[00:30:35] the department of education is
[00:30:36] constitutional. I I do not think that is
[00:30:38] in the original intent as written that
[00:30:41] the federal government has any role in
[00:30:43] the education of our children. Period.
[00:30:45] What what progressives do understand,
[00:30:48] but the actual voter that votes usually
[00:30:51] with Democrats don't understand is uh I
[00:30:55] don't have a problem with the way you
[00:30:56] live in California. You want you want to
[00:30:58] live in California and you want to, you
[00:31:00] know, be as insane as you are, you can
[00:31:04] do that. Your own community can vote for
[00:31:06] that and that's that's fine. I'm not
[00:31:08] going to pay for it and don't force me
[00:31:12] to live that way, you know. Uh, and
[00:31:15] that's unfortunately the problem. We
[00:31:16] have San Francisco values. That's right.
[00:31:19] In small towns that do not agree with
[00:31:21] those values at all.
[00:31:23] >> And it's forced upon them. It's forced
[00:31:24] upon them because it's federal. The
[00:31:26] Office of Civil Rights, the Department
[00:31:27] of Education. And even worse, I mean,
[00:31:28] you guys remember this was not a very
[00:31:31] covered um issue. The Department of
[00:31:33] Education was using school assisted
[00:31:36] lunch funding to force transgender
[00:31:38] bathrooms. Do you remember this? It was
[00:31:40] a lesson like they said, "We are not
[00:31:42] going to give money for kids that need
[00:31:44] assistance for lunch if you don't have
[00:31:46] radical transgender policies." So, what
[00:31:48] we've done is we've created this insane
[00:31:51] leverage that the Department of
[00:31:52] Education should not have over local
[00:31:54] municipalities and school districts.
[00:31:56] >> Let me prove it to you.
[00:31:57] >> It's dishonest. It's honest though.
[00:31:59] >> Let me prove it to you. When someone is
[00:32:00] quote unquote brain dead, do you know
[00:32:01] that they still respond if someone stabs
[00:32:04] them? Their norepinephrine goes up. Do
[00:32:05] you know that a woman still mer menrates
[00:32:07] if she's brain dead? So consciousness is
[00:32:09] not human worth. There's something else
[00:32:10] going on beyond consciousness that
[00:32:12] exists in a being that is the soul.
[00:32:13] >> Okay. So now we're getting into a
[00:32:14] conversation of what the difference
[00:32:15] between a soul and a consciousness is.
[00:32:17] >> No, they're totally different. The soul
[00:32:18] is the something beyond consciousness is
[00:32:20] your narration to yourself. Your ability
[00:32:22] to reason. There's something above
[00:32:23] reason. All of us know what that is when
[00:32:25] it kicks in. You ever hear the
[00:32:26] expression words can't describe? I am
[00:32:28] speechless. You know why? Speech is
[00:32:30] reason. When you see a sunset that takes
[00:32:32] your breath away. when you see a newborn
[00:32:33] life that is born, you don't even have
[00:32:34] the words to express it because it
[00:32:36] transcends you. I agree with that. That
[00:32:37] is your soul.
[00:32:38] >> So, so I mean that's a good point like
[00:32:40] when when we give so you what you just
[00:32:42] labeled there is like when a child is
[00:32:43] given born when they're born we give
[00:32:45] such moral significance to that not the
[00:32:47] fact that like they got infertilized by
[00:32:48] an egg I don't want to celebrate I want
[00:32:50] to sort of like I'd rather celebrate my
[00:32:52] birthday rather than like you know the
[00:32:53] day my parents had sex. That's kind of a
[00:32:54] little weird situation. You know what I
[00:32:56] mean? Like if life begins at concept
[00:32:58] conception.
[00:32:58] >> Well it's called your birthday for a
[00:32:59] reason. You were you were a living
[00:33:01] being. Not
[00:33:02] >> it seems that like society 9 months
[00:33:04] prior
[00:33:04] >> gravitates to this idea of like an
[00:33:06] actual human being existing that no
[00:33:08] value. Right?
[00:33:09] >> One is your entrance to the world. The
[00:33:10] other one is the actual creation of your
[00:33:12] being. Two different things. Your
[00:33:14] birthday is when you entered the world.
[00:33:15] For example, your birthday could be at
[00:33:17] 28 weeks, not 36 weeks. So everybody has
[00:33:19] a different day when you exit the womb,
[00:33:21] but it's not when your worth begins.
[00:33:23] That's not when your value begins.
[00:33:24] That's simply when you exit the womb.
[00:33:26] >> Right. Right. So I I have a good
[00:33:28] question. And I really want to get back
[00:33:28] to this uh idea of like you give more
[00:33:30] moral value to the level of the fact
[00:33:32] that like that humans that are developed
[00:33:34] have a soul in comparison to like you
[00:33:36] know as I
[00:33:45] [Music]
[00:33:53] election. We want to try to lose by less
[00:33:55] with younger voters and then we are
[00:33:57] going to create the most sophisticated
[00:33:59] low propensity get out the vote turnout
[00:34:02] machine um in in modern political
[00:34:04] history for the right. And here was our
[00:34:06] our our theory of the case first on the
[00:34:09] on the get out the vote which is that we
[00:34:11] believed that there were millions of
[00:34:13] people that were Trump supporters that
[00:34:15] were not Trump voters. The people that
[00:34:18] would say yay Trump and they would be
[00:34:20] with them but they weren't putting a
[00:34:21] ballot in a box. They weren't casting a
[00:34:24] vote. And we
[00:34:26] >> uh welcome to uh the Charlie Kirk show.
[00:34:29] My name is Glenn Beck. I am filling in
[00:34:31] for uh Charlie. Let me describe the
[00:34:33] scene. I got here this morning about
[00:34:35] 4:30 a.m. I do a national radio program.
[00:34:39] Starts at 9:00 a.m. uh Eastern time. So
[00:34:42] by 6:00 we were broadcasting and there
[00:34:45] wasn't anybody here. Everybody is
[00:34:47] getting some well-deserved sleep. It
[00:34:48] looks like I mean nobody here has slept
[00:34:50] for a while. Um and uh we got here and
[00:34:54] there's police that barricade the the
[00:34:57] road right in front and there are police
[00:34:58] all around. Um and it's a an enormous
[00:35:06] tribute uh that is on the road sitting
[00:35:09] in front of TPUSA.
[00:35:12] Uh people have come it reminded me
[00:35:14] honestly of Princess Diana. I hadn't
[00:35:16] seen the outpouring like this since
[00:35:19] Elvis died and when Princess Diana died.
[00:35:23] Um it's just this amazing uh outpouring
[00:35:26] of love. During the show, during my
[00:35:29] national radio broadcast, um we uh my
[00:35:33] staff walked in and said, "You have to
[00:35:35] move to another building. There is a"
[00:35:37] and somebody here in front apparently
[00:35:40] put a package down and then gave a bomb
[00:35:42] threat. um turned out to be just some I
[00:35:46] don't know I don't know um but um Satan
[00:35:50] thinks that he still can win and the
[00:35:53] more he pushes the uh the brighter the
[00:35:56] light is going to get. I want to go to
[00:35:58] Ryan Morrow. Uh I talked to him earlier
[00:36:01] today because one of the things that we
[00:36:02] have to do is we have to stop the
[00:36:05] funding of all of these things that are
[00:36:07] on the left that we have honestly now
[00:36:10] started to find out. I mean, I've been
[00:36:11] exposing this this stuff on chalkboards
[00:36:14] for years and years, almost two decades
[00:36:16] now, and how the George Soroses, etc. of
[00:36:19] the world, um, are funding all of the
[00:36:22] worst of the worst. And Ryan,
[00:36:25] um, has done his work and has really,
[00:36:29] uh, come up with some smoking guns,
[00:36:31] especially on George Soros, Donald Trump
[00:36:34] can use as RICO charges. Um, and uh,
[00:36:39] Ryan is here to lay this all out. What
[00:36:41] did you find, Ryan?
[00:36:43] >> Well, we had some amazing findings.
[00:36:45] according to George Soros's own files
[00:36:47] from his open society foundations. Uh so
[00:36:51] myself, my colleagues at Capital
[00:36:52] Research Center basically went through
[00:36:54] as many grants of his as many funding
[00:36:56] streams as we could find. And here's the
[00:36:59] smoking guns that we believe that
[00:37:02] President Trump, if he's informed of it,
[00:37:03] um can use to go after Soros's, uh
[00:37:07] network of hate in various ways. Uh we
[00:37:10] traced over $80 million
[00:37:13] going from the Open Society Foundations
[00:37:16] to at least 54 groups engaged in crime
[00:37:20] and domestic terrorism on US soil or
[00:37:23] that are proterrorism endorsing things
[00:37:25] like the October 7th attacks or are
[00:37:28] associated with foreign terrorist
[00:37:30] organizations or explicitly pro-terror
[00:37:33] groups.
[00:37:34] And this is according to his own file,
[00:37:36] so it's rock solid. Uh, and over of that
[00:37:39] amount, over 23 million went to at least
[00:37:42] seven groups that are doing things that
[00:37:45] meet the FBI's definition of domestic
[00:37:48] terrorism.
[00:37:48] >> Can you rioting and things like that?
[00:37:51] >> Can you be specific, more specific than
[00:37:54] this?
[00:37:55] >> Absolutely. Uh, I'm happy to. So, the
[00:37:58] Center for Third World Organizing, for
[00:38:00] example, is an organization that has a
[00:38:02] hub that fused together several uh
[00:38:04] really extreme organizations. Uh we
[00:38:07] found $400,000 going to them uh and they
[00:38:10] openly boast of the fact that they threw
[00:38:12] down uh during the uprisings in
[00:38:15] Minnesota. Obviously referring to the
[00:38:16] rioting and boasting of how many
[00:38:19] thousands of people they helped train. A
[00:38:21] lot of these groups have created what
[00:38:23] they'll call like a protest guide or an
[00:38:25] activism toolkit and it sounds
[00:38:27] innocuous. Then you open it up and
[00:38:28] you'll see support for Hamas in it. But
[00:38:30] then they'll sometimes slightly say for
[00:38:33] more information go to these hyperlinks.
[00:38:35] and you go to the hyperlinks and
[00:38:36] there'll be guides recommending things
[00:38:39] like property destruction, uh, violence,
[00:38:42] false IDs, how to obstruct justice, all
[00:38:45] of these things. And they know darn well
[00:38:47] what they're doing. They don't put that
[00:38:48] there by accident. Um, some of the more
[00:38:50] careful ones will just direct their
[00:38:53] readership to anarchist websites with
[00:38:55] all that material, knowing that they'll
[00:38:56] see it when it's there. Um, and so yeah,
[00:39:00] the the I mean, it's really stunning.
[00:39:01] And some of these groups are coalitions.
[00:39:02] So when I say 54 groups, just one of
[00:39:05] those might have 300 entities
[00:39:08] >> in that one. So it it's actually the
[00:39:11] real number is actually much higher.
[00:39:13] >> Let me play something from October 2010.
[00:39:17] Um where I was talking about the RICO
[00:39:19] act and George Soros, listen to this.
[00:39:22] This is the ABCs of revolution. This is
[00:39:26] only a copy of it. I only have a copy of
[00:39:28] it. I don't have the original yet. They
[00:39:31] talk about
[00:39:33] uh urban gerilla tactics.
[00:39:38] The instant any any area is occupied by
[00:39:40] revolutionaries, it must be appropriated
[00:39:42] forth with according to two
[00:39:44] incontestable principles, self-defense
[00:39:46] and free distribution of the goods
[00:39:48] produced. The best way to avoid
[00:39:50] isolation is to attack. Thus, one must
[00:39:53] with an eye to the internationalist
[00:39:55] direction. Remember, workers of the
[00:39:57] world unite. Create other nuclei for
[00:40:00] occupations and appropriations.
[00:40:02] Strengthen and protect liaison between
[00:40:04] re revolutionary zones. Isolate the
[00:40:07] enemy and destroy communications. Use
[00:40:09] commando tactics uh to harass
[00:40:12] and uh rear a guard and avoid
[00:40:14] encirclement by splitting up his forces.
[00:40:18] Disorganize the counterrevolution by
[00:40:20] rendering its principal leaders and the
[00:40:22] best strategist harmless.
[00:40:25] Do you have that one?
[00:40:27] disorganize the counterrevolution by
[00:40:29] rendering its principal leaders and the
[00:40:31] best strategists harmless.
[00:40:35] How do they do that?
[00:40:38] Is the left threatening?
[00:40:42] Is that something that people who are in
[00:40:44] that position should worry about their
[00:40:46] lives or is that just render them
[00:40:49] harmless by well let's just live see if
[00:40:51] I can come up with a crazy example. You
[00:40:53] hear some rich dude takes a million
[00:40:55] dollars and does everything they can to
[00:40:58] smear and discredit.
[00:41:01] By the way, George, have you ever heard
[00:41:03] of the Rico Rico statute? I just Anyway,
[00:41:08] RICO, this is 2010, 15 years ago, I was
[00:41:12] saying George Soros should be grabbed by
[00:41:16] the RICO act. Donald Trump looks like
[00:41:19] he's now willing to go there. And again,
[00:41:22] we're talking to Ryan Morrow, who uh
[00:41:24] says he has the the goods on this. How
[00:41:27] long have you been working on this,
[00:41:28] Ryan?
[00:41:30] >> Probably about a year.
[00:41:33] >> And what got you started on this?
[00:41:37] >> Well, I think it started when I released
[00:41:39] a report breaking down the anti-Israel
[00:41:41] protests that were going on. I saw that
[00:41:43] that was like manufactured. It was like
[00:41:45] pushing a button. And we identified over
[00:41:47] 150 proterrorism groups organizing those
[00:41:50] protests. there weren't peaceful groups
[00:41:52] behind it. Uh and so when that report
[00:41:55] came out, which is very similar to this
[00:41:57] one, this is almost almost somewhat of a
[00:41:59] sequel, one of the radical entities
[00:42:01] that's Hamas friendly, had this to say
[00:42:04] about the research that we released. So
[00:42:06] the same would be true of the source
[00:42:08] report that we're about to release at
[00:42:09] 1:00. It said that these reports we're
[00:42:12] doing pose an existential threat that
[00:42:15] could easily mean a quick death for most
[00:42:18] of the groups by getting their tax
[00:42:20] exempt statuses ripped away from them.
[00:42:22] And so those that survive would suffer
[00:42:25] mass chaos. So they're saying that we
[00:42:29] have figured out how to beat them if we
[00:42:31] just get this into the right hands. And
[00:42:33] so at 1:00,
[00:42:35] this is what we're dropping about George
[00:42:37] Soros as part of our investigation. Uh,
[00:42:40] and that's why I said on your show
[00:42:41] earlier, the counter offensive begins
[00:42:44] today. It begins at 1:00.
[00:42:48] >> You know, um, it was probably 2010
[00:42:52] that, um, George Soros's number two guy,
[00:42:56] met with my number two guy. Um, and they
[00:43:00] had lunch in a public place because
[00:43:03] that's what we requested when they said,
[00:43:05] "We want to have lunch." And uh I was
[00:43:07] not part of it, but it was just the
[00:43:10] second in command, if you will, meeting
[00:43:12] with each other and sending messages and
[00:43:14] and um it started, this lunch started
[00:43:17] with um you need to tell your boss, your
[00:43:20] boss, me is hurting my boss, Soros, and
[00:43:25] it's going to stop. And my guy said, I
[00:43:28] don't think it is. I mean, if he's
[00:43:30] getting something wrong, he'd be more
[00:43:31] than happy to correct it. And he said at
[00:43:34] the time, um, your boss needs to
[00:43:37] understand the ship is already sailed.
[00:43:39] It's it's just pulling out of port right
[00:43:41] now, and you're either on that ship or
[00:43:44] you're not, and you want to be on that
[00:43:46] ship. And he said, "My boss is going to
[00:43:49] say he doesn't want to be on that ship."
[00:43:51] Um, and at the very end of the
[00:43:54] conversation, he said, "I want you to
[00:43:56] hear me clearly.
[00:43:58] This is going to stop.
[00:44:03] We took that as a very large threat. And
[00:44:05] that is one of the reasons why I did uh
[00:44:07] the puppet master show on Fox. I did a
[00:44:11] three-day special showing everything
[00:44:13] about uh George Soros that we could find
[00:44:15] at the time. You realize who you're
[00:44:18] getting into war with, don't you?
[00:44:23] I do, and I don't care. Uh I I know I'm
[00:44:27] supposed to do this. Um, and so that
[00:44:30] ship that he was talking about, we're
[00:44:33] going to sink it. And all the other big
[00:44:37] billionaire funded organizations that
[00:44:38] are out there that are funding this type
[00:44:40] of filth that are poisoning American
[00:44:42] civil society and spreading this type of
[00:44:44] hate that resulted in what we've what
[00:44:46] happened a week ago.
[00:44:49] You're on notice. If you're doing this
[00:44:51] by mistake, I will volunteer my time to
[00:44:54] help you vet the organizations that you
[00:44:56] finance so you don't fund terrorism and
[00:44:58] hate. If you're genuine,
[00:45:00] >> well, there's
[00:45:00] >> if you're not genuine and you continue
[00:45:02] doing it, you're next. looking at uh you
[00:45:06] know looking at your research there's
[00:45:07] there's a handful of grants that are
[00:45:10] nuts uh for things like children that
[00:45:13] include uh ideas of hierarchy,
[00:45:15] supremacy, colonialism and to the
[00:45:18] Alinski Institute in France which is
[00:45:20] honor in honor of Solleinsky if I'm not
[00:45:22] mistaken. Right.
[00:45:24] >> That's exactly right. Um and when you go
[00:45:26] through the report you'll see that the
[00:45:28] organizations that they're funding are
[00:45:30] so blatantly connected to foreign
[00:45:31] terrorist organizations so blatantly
[00:45:33] extremist. This goes on year after year.
[00:45:35] So before when there would be reports
[00:45:37] about this and drips and drabs, I could
[00:45:39] kind of understand some people saying,
[00:45:41] well, out of thousands of grants, maybe
[00:45:42] some mistakes are made. This this is no
[00:45:44] mistake. We've we have disproven this.
[00:45:47] And I keep thinking about how when the
[00:45:50] Iranian regime allows proterrorism
[00:45:52] entities to fund raise on Iranian soil,
[00:45:55] what do we call that? We call that state
[00:45:57] sponsorship of terrorism. In the United
[00:45:59] States, when American nonprofits in the
[00:46:02] nonprofit sector allow proter terror
[00:46:04] entities to fund raise on American soil,
[00:46:07] what do we call it? We call it charity.
[00:46:09] And so that has to come to an end. The
[00:46:12] IRS code, as we talked about in the
[00:46:13] report, is being violated. You're not
[00:46:15] allowed to engage in crime. You're not
[00:46:17] even allowed to encourage crime. That
[00:46:19] can't be part of your nonprofit mission.
[00:46:21] Uh and so these statuses need to be
[00:46:23] revoked. And just like that one
[00:46:25] extremist group said, if we go down that
[00:46:27] path, we don't even have to get into the
[00:46:28] hate speech argument.
[00:46:30] >> Yeah,
[00:46:30] >> we can beat them. We can beat them
[00:46:32] rapidly.
[00:46:33] >> Ryan, thank you so much. I really
[00:46:35] appreciate your conversation with us
[00:46:37] back on the Charlie Kirk show in a
[00:46:39] minute.
[00:46:45] How many people on earth this last week
[00:46:49] became a Christian on the killing field?
[00:46:52] They saw Charlie Kirk and they thought,
[00:46:54] you know, I wasn't a Christian before,
[00:46:55] but I think I understand what it means
[00:46:57] to be a Christian today. Abraham Lincoln
[00:46:59] said, "I'm not a Christian." Little
[00:47:01] Abraham Lincoln, 6, 7, 8 years old, he
[00:47:04] would get in trouble and his dad would
[00:47:05] get drunk and he would take his belt and
[00:47:07] he would whip him while quoting the
[00:47:10] scriptures. Well, there's nothing that
[00:47:11] makes somebody want to be a Christian
[00:47:13] more than that. And so, Abraham Lincoln
[00:47:15] rejected Christianity. And he said later
[00:47:18] in life, he said, "When I became
[00:47:20] president, I wasn't really a Christian.
[00:47:22] When my son died, I wasn't a Christian.
[00:47:25] I didn't become a Christian until
[00:47:27] Gettysburg." Gettysburg happened in the
[00:47:29] summer and we think, "Oh, then Abraham
[00:47:30] Lincoln went up there right after or he
[00:47:32] went up a couple of months later after
[00:47:33] they cleared out all the fields and
[00:47:35] buried all the dead." He comes in
[00:47:37] November and they were still stacking
[00:47:39] bodies up like cordwood. Imagine the
[00:47:42] scene. Imagine the smell of Gettysburg.
[00:47:45] He says, "That's when I became a
[00:47:48] Christian. That event brought him to his
[00:47:50] knees where he begged the Lord and said,
[00:47:52] "What is it you want? I'll do it. Just
[00:47:54] tell me." We were losing the war like
[00:47:56] crazy. He issues a proclamation and a
[00:48:00] request for the nation to go into
[00:48:02] prayer, fasting, and humiliation,
[00:48:04] meaning asking God for forgiveness for
[00:48:06] all of our sins. And he basically said,
[00:48:09] "Whatever God wants, he's just. This was
[00:48:11] wrong. We did it. Let's pray, fast, and
[00:48:15] beg for forgiveness. That's how we won.
[00:48:17] It was the moment of Gettysburg. This
[00:48:19] may be the moment of Gettysburg in our
[00:48:21] generation. The number of people who are
[00:48:24] saying, "I'm committing to Christ. I'm
[00:48:25] going to church. I'm going to change."
[00:48:27] It's sweeping the nation. It is sweeping
[00:48:29] the world. This indeed was a turning
[00:48:32] point.
[00:48:40] >> One is one is less conscious than the
[00:48:42] other.
[00:48:42] >> Oh, no. one is more skills, but like
[00:48:44] what's the what's the innate moral
[00:48:46] difference? And prove it to me.
[00:48:47] >> Um because we it seems like we do give
[00:48:49] restrict rights and we do actually
[00:48:51] change rights based on development and
[00:48:52] consciousness.
[00:48:54] >> So like a four-year-old, right? What is
[00:48:55] the innate moral difference of a
[00:48:57] four-year-old and a zygote?
[00:48:58] >> One is more conscious.
[00:49:00] >> Okay, got it. So I think that's
[00:49:01] irrelevant. I think they're both human
[00:49:02] beings deserving of protection.
[00:49:03] Consciousness alone is not a marker of
[00:49:05] dignity.
[00:49:06] >> Okay. So then what is your marker of
[00:49:07] dignity? Is being a human being.
[00:49:08] >> Being a human being. So your is your
[00:49:11] argu argument a little bit circular
[00:49:12] though there is just like it's just
[00:49:13] because we are we deserve rights because
[00:49:14] we're human being.
[00:49:15] >> Yeah. Of course. I mean it's
[00:49:16] self-evident. We are human beings with a
[00:49:18] soul. Therefore we have rights.
[00:49:19] >> So so we're we deserve rights because
[00:49:21] we're human beings because we're human
[00:49:22] beings. So like how am I supposed to win
[00:49:23] against this argument here?
[00:49:24] >> You can't
[00:49:25] >> see. Okay. Yeah. Exactly. So it's
[00:49:28] it's called it's called a self-evident
[00:49:29] truth.
[00:49:30] >> So So
[00:49:31] >> it's called self-evidence. So there it
[00:49:32] is. That's why the pro-life position is
[00:49:34] irrefutable is that because you have to
[00:49:36] posit human beings have rights. And
[00:49:37] that's that and that is that a kind of a
[00:49:39] concern that like we we base all our
[00:49:41] entire ideology on this one illogical
[00:49:42] circle that
[00:49:43] >> it's not illogical. It's incredibly
[00:49:44] logical. We are human beings and we
[00:49:46] believe that they matter.
[00:49:47] >> If you were remove this this circle here
[00:49:49] then you would have to actually be
[00:49:51] pro-life in the sense of be pro- life to
[00:49:52] all life.
[00:49:53] >> Oh we are
[00:49:53] >> right. So animals kind of you know we
[00:49:56] don't believe human beings are
[00:49:57] >> I'm not like a vegan or anything. I'm
[00:49:58] not a veget
[00:50:01] as a bird. It's not the same thing for
[00:50:03] multiple reasons because a human being
[00:50:04] has characteristics and qualities and
[00:50:06] most importantly we believe as
[00:50:08] Christians human beings have a soul that
[00:50:10] a bird does not have.
[00:50:11] >> Okay. So characteristics and qualities
[00:50:13] >> only let me interrupt one more. The west
[00:50:14] whether you agree or not sorry to
[00:50:16] interrupt. We believe the human being is
[00:50:17] the only thing made in the image of the
[00:50:19] creator. A mo day.
[00:50:20] >> Okay. Okay. So when you say
[00:50:22] characteristics and qualities what does
[00:50:23] that mean to me? What does that mean to
[00:50:25] me? Well, first of all, not just the
[00:50:26] ability to reason, but also the ability
[00:50:28] to sympathize, empathize, feel, predict,
[00:50:30] plan, conjecture, have mercy,
[00:50:33] forgiveness, to be able to be
[00:50:34] introspective.
[00:50:35] >> I love that. I love that about us human
[00:50:36] beings.
[00:50:37] >> Oh, no. I know.
[00:50:37] >> I'm not being sarcastic. We human beings
[00:50:39] are exceptional actually. I mean, versus
[00:50:41] the the beasts of the wild, which we
[00:50:43] should appreciate and adore. But again,
[00:50:44] more beyond that, we come after this
[00:50:46] from a soft religious view because you
[00:50:47] don't have to be Christian to believe
[00:50:48] this, right? that the human being has
[00:50:50] innate inherent
[00:50:52] >> um embedded let's just say dignity okay
[00:50:55] that a fox does not.
[00:50:57] >> Right. Yeah. So what you just did there
[00:51:00] is kind of like my argument here. You're
[00:51:02] you're you're saying
[00:51:14] [Music]
[00:51:19] This is the Charlie Kirk show. My name
[00:51:21] is Glenn Beck. Um we have something um
[00:51:25] special that we made for Charlie and uh
[00:51:28] the staff here at TPUSA coming up in
[00:51:30] just a minute. I haven't even heard it.
[00:51:32] Um my daughter who is 19 years old uh
[00:51:37] made it with David Osmond last night. Um
[00:51:41] and uh she was there um about 10 ft away
[00:51:45] from the tent when Charlie um was shot.
[00:51:48] And we'll tell you a little bit about
[00:51:50] this um next hour.
[00:51:54] >> Glenn, talk to me about the path forward
[00:51:56] from here because I think a lot of
[00:51:58] people right now have that moment where
[00:52:00] they're so thankful for everything that
[00:52:01] Charlie had done and and appreciated his
[00:52:03] approach to everything, this open
[00:52:05] approach, open debate.
[00:52:07] um and they want to continue that
[00:52:10] approach. I do think there's also a lot
[00:52:12] of people who look at it and say for
[00:52:14] everything that Charlie tried to do,
[00:52:16] look at what's the price he paid. And we
[00:52:20] can't just do that anymore. We have to
[00:52:21] go farther. We have to change this. We
[00:52:23] have to there's a there's a righteous
[00:52:25] anger that people want to uh to to move
[00:52:29] upon.
[00:52:30] >> The righteous anger. So the righteous
[00:52:32] anger that is righteous and right and
[00:52:34] natural. I mean it is one of the phases
[00:52:36] of grief. Um and we went through the
[00:52:39] phase first phase you know day one
[00:52:42] denial. I mean we saw the video.
[00:52:45] >> I did unfortunately I saw the video and
[00:52:47] I called a surgeon friend of mine right
[00:52:48] away and I sent him the video and I said
[00:52:50] is there any way? And he's like no then
[00:52:52] no way. No way. Um, and yet for two
[00:52:55] hours I was on the air with Megan Kelly
[00:52:58] and I was saying, "Well, no, there
[00:53:00] there's there's there's a chance.
[00:53:01] There's a chance." Because I wanted to
[00:53:03] believe that anger is part of that. Um,
[00:53:07] and we're going to go through it. But I
[00:53:08] have been so amazed and so proud of our
[00:53:11] side. I I'm going to tell you next hour
[00:53:15] of a private conversation that I had
[00:53:16] with Charlie about assassinations. Um,
[00:53:20] >> and uh, and and so far everybody is
[00:53:23] handling it exactly the way he would
[00:53:25] have hoped and I know it to be true
[00:53:27] because I talked to him about it. Well,
[00:53:29] certainly not everybody is handling it
[00:53:30] the right way. I It's funny because I
[00:53:32] was I had a conversation with a friend
[00:53:33] of mine yesterday and we were talking
[00:53:35] about the reaction to all of this
[00:53:38] >> and the we kind of said, "Are you
[00:53:41] encouraged by what you're seeing or are
[00:53:43] are you despondent?"
[00:53:45] >> I'm very encouraged.
[00:53:46] >> That's it's fascinating. My my instant
[00:53:48] reaction was despondent
[00:53:50] >> because I I I don't know. Maybe I've
[00:53:51] tortured myself with too much of the
[00:53:53] negative reaction.
[00:53:54] >> Maybe.
[00:53:54] >> However, talking it out,
[00:53:57] >> I think I've I've changed my mind on it.
[00:53:59] >> Look how many people have gone to church
[00:54:01] for the first time. See, this is the
[00:54:02] difference. Charlie wasn't just a
[00:54:04] political guy. Charlie was an
[00:54:07] evangelical preacher in the end.
[00:54:10] >> Um, and he was talking about universal
[00:54:13] things and things that people are
[00:54:14] starving for. And look at the real look
[00:54:17] at the God movement that is happening.
[00:54:19] He shortcircuited a lot of stuff and now
[00:54:24] God is moving with his people. And I
[00:54:27] find that extraordinarily optimistic. I
[00:54:29] I think what we have to be careful of
[00:54:32] is, you know, I worry I'll start to
[00:54:35] worry about the people of TPUSA. Hey, I
[00:54:37] mean, we've already been praying for
[00:54:38] you, but I'm going to start worrying
[00:54:40] about you next week and the week after
[00:54:42] because I've had enough people in my
[00:54:44] life die. Once company goes home, then
[00:54:47] you're left alone with the reality.
[00:54:49] >> And that's when that that despair or
[00:54:53] hopelessness can start to play games
[00:54:55] with you. Don't let it I mean, there is
[00:54:58] I know what I'll tell you in a minute. I
[00:55:01] know what Charlie would have wanted. And
[00:55:03] what he would have wanted was move
[00:55:06] forward, keep moving, keep pressing
[00:55:09] forward, keep staying true to the
[00:55:12] principles that we have laid out. Um,
[00:55:15] and that's the only thing I worry about
[00:55:17] on our side is if anybody gets angry um,
[00:55:21] and somebody's going to do something
[00:55:23] stupid. And I hope that doesn't happen.
[00:55:24] I pray that doesn't happen. I don't
[00:55:26] think it will quite honestly, but I
[00:55:28] could be wrong. Um, but if we have real
[00:55:31] discipline and then
[00:55:35] constitutional discipline,
[00:55:39] >> you know, this hate speech debate,
[00:55:41] Charlie wouldn't have been for that
[00:55:43] ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.
[00:55:45] >> I didn't know that. He tweeted
[00:55:46] explicitly about it.
[00:55:47] >> There hate speech. There is no such
[00:55:49] thing as hate speech. There is speech.
[00:55:52] There's uncomfortable speech. There's
[00:55:53] evil speech. There's bad speech. There's
[00:55:56] speech you don't like at all. There's
[00:55:57] speech you would just want to say to
[00:55:59] somebody, shut up. But there's no such
[00:56:02] thing as hate speech. There is no legal
[00:56:04] position for in this country. The only
[00:56:07] kind of speech that requires protection
[00:56:10] is the kind of speech that everybody
[00:56:12] hates.
[00:56:14] So there is no place for hate speech.
[00:56:17] And it bothers me this Pam Bondi
[00:56:20] movement uh of going after people with
[00:56:23] hate speech. No, we don't do that. You
[00:56:26] have a right to speak and I will fight
[00:56:29] to my dying breath for your right to say
[00:56:32] what you believe. I don't I don't
[00:56:35] necessarily agree with you, but it's
[00:56:37] more important for me to fight for your
[00:56:39] right of freedom of speech if I don't
[00:56:41] agree with you. I don't need to fight
[00:56:44] for freedom of speech that agrees with
[00:56:46] me.
[00:56:48] All right, next hour, uh, a tribute
[00:56:52] again to Charlie Kirk and so much more.
[00:57:03] you led the Tea Party movement in in
[00:57:06] 2011. Those are my words, not yours.
[00:57:08] >> Okay.
[00:57:08] >> So, 2010, 2011, you were a big part of
[00:57:11] it and you were um you were a vocal
[00:57:15] piece of it. And President Trump in a
[00:57:18] lot of different ways has led the
[00:57:19] revitalization has had given a lot of
[00:57:21] Americans hope that they thought that
[00:57:24] this this country could not be turned
[00:57:25] around.
[00:57:25] >> You know what's really strange? He has
[00:57:27] the same thing that Tulsi Gabbard has
[00:57:30] and they don't agree on anything
[00:57:33] >> basically anything.
[00:57:33] >> You know what I mean? But Tulsi is a
[00:57:38] she's so far out of the mainstream and
[00:57:40] she is so far left. But at no time do I
[00:57:44] believe she hates America. I believe she
[00:57:47] loves America. We just disagree. Yes.
[00:57:49] >> And what used to bring us together is
[00:57:52] that we can disagree, but we have a
[00:57:54] fundamental understanding that this
[00:57:56] country is a positive force and you can
[00:58:00] make it. Well, I have I have a working
[00:58:01] theory about this. This is why Bernie
[00:58:04] Sanders has a has a group that really
[00:58:06] appreciates him and follows him and why
[00:58:08] even some people on the right will say,
[00:58:10] "Oh, I I like I I don't like Bernie
[00:58:11] Sanders, but I think he really believes
[00:58:13] what he believes." I think the new era
[00:58:15] of politics in the bipartisan cartel
[00:58:17] that has ruined this, you know, ruling
[00:58:20] class essentially,
[00:58:21] >> you know, very series of destructive
[00:58:23] policies that have borrowed too much
[00:58:24] money and eroded our freedoms and
[00:58:25] liberties and grew the fourth branch of
[00:58:27] government. I think the American people
[00:58:29] would much prefer someone who's
[00:58:30] authentic, who says why they believe
[00:58:32] what they believe. Like that
[00:58:34] conversation you had with the president
[00:58:35] on trade, even if you might
[00:58:36] fundamentally disagree with tariffs, you
[00:58:38] say, "I'll deal with that way more than
[00:58:40] an establishment Republican in a
[00:58:42] heartbeat."
[00:58:42] >> I made argument after argument
[00:58:45] >> and he tried to dismantle and I but wait
[00:58:47] a minute, Mr. President, this blah blah
[00:58:49] blah. And in the end, he said, "I'm just
[00:58:51] going to shoot straight with you. I love
[00:58:53] them. I love trade barriers. I love the
[00:58:58] fact that we can get things
[00:59:00] >> from people if we just use our muscle a
[00:59:03] little bit. I fundamentally disagree,
[00:59:06] but I hung up the phone going, "At least
[00:59:08] you told me the truth."
[00:59:09] >> Yes.
[00:59:10] >> He was not pandering to me.
[00:59:11] >> Well, and that's clarity over agreement.
[00:59:14] >> Yes.
[00:59:14] >> Which and or the false agreement that
[00:59:17] the the the bipartisan coalition that
[00:59:19] has really, like I said, ruined our
[00:59:21] country in so many ways. Not completely,
[00:59:24] but I find the American people have this
[00:59:27] this yearning and this interest,
[00:59:29] especially young people, for
[00:59:30] authenticity in our candidates, and
[00:59:32] that's been deteriorating. So, I have a
[00:59:34] question for you,
[00:59:35] >> okay?
[00:59:35] >> In 10 years, do you think America will
[00:59:38] be more or less socialist?
[00:59:41] >> I ask this question of everybody, by the
[00:59:43] way.
[00:59:47] >> Can I answer with a caveat? Of course.
[00:59:50] If
[00:59:52] uh we continue the spending and if we
[00:59:56] continue
[00:59:58] the erosion of of who we are and the
[01:00:04] truth, we will be much more socialist.
[01:00:07] If we if we have this a real collapse,
[01:00:11] an actual depression, people who right
[01:00:14] now say, "I am absolutely against
[01:00:16] socialism." they will want it to be able
[01:00:18] to weather that storm.
[01:00:20] >> Um, uh, and I'm afraid that we're on
[01:00:23] that track. However, I've been really
[01:00:28] heartened. I mean, Charlie,
[01:00:31] I don't think you know the impact. You
[01:00:34] say, "Oh, Glenn, you made an impact on
[01:00:36] my life." Do you realize the impact
[01:00:38] you're having on the country?
[01:00:40] >> I don't.
[01:00:42] >> I mean, the your organization didn't
[01:00:44] exist 5 years ago. It didn't exist.
[01:00:47] Tonight, I'm talking to 5,000 people and
[01:00:51] I in in this place had paid to come
[01:00:54] across the country. I was on a plane
[01:00:56] with all kinds of 18 to 24 year olds
[01:01:00] yesterday and I realized
[01:01:04] the people you have. You remember when I
[01:01:06] did the thing in Washington DC and
[01:01:08] restoring honor?
[01:01:09] >> I do. Right. Right on the Washington
[01:01:11] Monument.
[01:01:12] >> Right. And I said that that day, yeah,
[01:01:15] somewhere in this crowd,
[01:01:17] >> there is maybe he's seven, maybe he's
[01:01:20] 15.
[01:01:21] >> I saw that speech.
[01:01:22] >> Yeah. Somewhere in this crowd is the
[01:01:24] next George Washington that will feel it
[01:01:27] right now. And I am so overwhelmed with
[01:01:31] the people that I have met from your
[01:01:33] organization and the people who are
[01:01:35] coming. You're raising the next
[01:01:38] generation. you are you and your
[01:01:41] organization.
[01:01:42] >> Thank you.
[01:01:43] >> Really responsible for
[01:01:46] um what I think will be the next great
[01:01:49] generation,
[01:01:50] but also some real sucky ones are going
[01:01:53] to come out of this group, too. You
[01:01:55] know,
[01:02:03] >> go. If I gave you $500 right now,
[01:02:07] >> would you would you would you say it?
[01:02:09] >> No.
[01:02:10] >> What's stopping you?
[01:02:11] >> I mean,
[01:02:12] >> what's stopping you? What line in the
[01:02:13] Bible is going to stop to you going up
[01:02:15] to a group of guys going, "Hey fellas,
[01:02:17] mind if I say a word? Mind if I speak my
[01:02:19] piece?"
[01:02:19] >> No. Cuz I have a different set of
[01:02:21] morals. I say, "By what moral is that
[01:02:24] wrong?"
[01:02:24] >> By morals of around, find out. I'm
[01:02:26] going to get my jumped. I will get the
[01:02:28] out of me. This presumptuous. I don't
[01:02:31] know about you, but any kind of any kind
[01:02:33] of argument that there's an objective
[01:02:35] morality that depends.
[01:02:36] >> Was was Hitler objectively evil?
[01:02:39] >> Yeah.
[01:02:39] >> Okay. So, we agree.
[01:02:40] >> Amount of cells. Amount of cells gone.
[01:02:42] Biomass. That's kind of
[01:02:44] >> So, wait. So, does someone who is older
[01:02:46] have more moral rights than a
[01:02:47] four-year-old because they have more
[01:02:48] cells?
[01:02:48] >> Depends on the person.
[01:02:53] >> Okay. Listen, Mike makes right, right? I
[01:02:55] got more inches on that guy. I could
[01:02:57] probably jump him. I mean, like, if
[01:02:59] Listen, not to start a fight, not to
[01:03:01] start a fight. I have no offense. I
[01:03:02] didn't even point at a person, but did I
[01:03:04] point at you? I'm sorry if I did. I
[01:03:05] would. No, I'd lose against him. If I
[01:03:07] was pointing at him, I would lose. But,
[01:03:08] okay, here's what I actually want to
[01:03:10] talk about. Okay, we've gone a little
[01:03:12] sidetracked. That was my preamble. Hey,
[01:03:14] listen, listen, listen. All right. I
[01:03:17] want to talk to you about DEI, right?
[01:03:20] Cuz I have a feeling that I I'm a white
[01:03:23] man, right? You are. I would say I am.
[01:03:27] Right. I would say I'm a white guy. I
[01:03:29] may be entirely Chinese, but what even
[01:03:31] is a white guy, right? Throughout
[01:03:32] history, right? Irish people and Polish
[01:03:35] people were not considered white people.
[01:03:37] Then you're going to say in 17 blah blah
[01:03:39] blah blah blah, they technically were
[01:03:40] counted. Right now, you look at the
[01:03:42] books, Arabic people are called
[01:03:44] >> What's the question? We got a long line.
[01:03:46] >> Do you disagree with the fact that I'm
[01:03:47] white?
[01:03:48] >> I mean, look, I don't know what you are.
[01:03:50] You don't look very white to me, but I
[01:03:51] mean, like, not
[01:03:52] >> You don't look very white to me either.
[01:03:53] I mean,
[01:03:54] >> I'm like the whitest person, right? I'm
[01:03:56] a phronologist. I'm paler than you are.
[01:03:58] Look at me. Okay, great. Look at me.
[01:03:59] Okay, so
[01:04:00] >> I don't think there's a physical
[01:04:02] objective quality that defines being a
[01:04:04] white guy, I think. Right. Cuz if you
[01:04:06] look at the book, it's not a country of
[01:04:07] origin. There's no country of origin for
[01:04:08] white people. It's like saying Asian
[01:04:10] people.
[01:04:11] >> Caucasian is the better term. But
[01:04:14] >> well, I would prefer not all the time,
[01:04:16] but yeah.
[01:04:17] >> Well, all right. Then what's the problem
[01:04:18] with like let's say a Mexican?
[01:04:21] >> There's no problem.
[01:04:22] >> There's no problem with Mexicans. Then
[01:04:23] what what was your beef against Kilar
[01:04:24] Brio Garcia? He was in court for
[01:04:26] different reasons. And then by
[01:04:28] >> What's my beef with a wifebeating child
[01:04:30] abusing gang member here illegally?
[01:04:32] >> I don't know. The fact that he's a wife
[01:04:33] beating, childabusing gang member here
[01:04:35] illegally. That's my beef with him. And
[01:04:37] he's from El Salvador, not Mexico.
[01:04:38] Racist. Get that right.
[01:04:39] >> Oh, my bad. My bad. My bad. Who's doing
[01:04:41] it now, dude? Hey. Hey. Wait.
[01:04:44] >> All right. Thank you very much. Next.
[01:04:45] Thank you.
[01:04:46] >> All right. One last thing. Anyone want
[01:04:48] this hat?
[01:04:52] >> Take that. Get off my campus.
[01:04:54] >> No. and I'll be here for another hour
[01:04:55] and a half.
[01:04:58] [Applause]
[01:05:03] >> He's going to go and tell his friends I
[01:05:04] own Charlie Kirk.
[01:05:07] >> He probably is, man. He probably is.
[01:05:09] Hey,
[01:05:09] >> you're very you're a eager beaver.
[01:05:11] >> I am, man, because I I have a midterm
[01:05:13] soon, but I want to talk to you real
[01:05:14] quick because honestly, man, I I'm a
[01:05:16] moderate, so I disagree with you on a
[01:05:18] lot of issues, but I also agree with you
[01:05:20] on a lot of issues, and I'm so glad
[01:05:22] you've come to this campus. And so I
[01:05:24] want to say welcome to this campus, man.
[01:05:26] Welcome to this campus.
[01:05:29] Thank you for educating everybody. But
[01:05:31] one thing that we don't talk about
[01:05:33] often, uh, especially as Republicans,
[01:05:35] and again, I'm a moderate sometimes.
[01:05:37] This past election, I was Republican,
[01:05:38] but we don't talk about social mobility
[01:05:40] a lot. We don't talk about like the jet
[01:05:43] the debt to GDP ratio. Trump his uh tax
[01:05:46] cuts and jobs plan, man, it it's really
[01:05:49] like it's not decreasing our deficit at
[01:05:51] all. And we're at the highest rates
[01:05:52] we've ever been at since World War II.
[01:05:55] We're literally going to surpass, you
[01:05:57] know, 100% debt to GB GDP ratio. And
[01:06:00] there's no plan. At least under the at
[01:06:02] least under the Obama plan, we were
[01:06:05] going to raise like $650 billion over
[01:06:07] the next 10 years, which I know isn't
[01:06:09] enough, but I mean, come on. We've got
[01:06:11] to do something about that. And like,
[01:06:12] what's what's the deal with that?
[01:06:14] >> We need more spending cuts. I mean, we
[01:06:16] don't know yet what the plan is going to
[01:06:17] look like, but I hope we have spending
[01:06:18] cuts across the board. I mean, I agree
[01:06:20] with you. We need to balance our budget.
[01:06:21] It's a major threat to our country.
[01:06:22] >> Well, the big thing is too, man, I mean,
[01:06:24] I'm obviously I'm an older student,
[01:06:26] right? I'm I'm clearly not 19 anymore.
[01:06:28] Or at least I, you know, maybe you think
[01:06:31] so, but whatever. I It took me a while
[01:06:33] to get here, man. It took me a while.
[01:06:44] [Music]
[01:06:58] [Music]
[01:07:03] This is the Charlie Kirk show. My name
[01:07:04] is Glenn Beck. I am filling in for uh
[01:07:07] Charlie.
[01:07:10] And um I want to tell you something that
[01:07:13] Charlie and I spoke about
[01:07:17] um
[01:07:19] I have been saying for a while now
[01:07:22] because I've been tracking this since
[01:07:24] really 2004 2005 I've been tracking this
[01:07:29] slide into Marxism and communism,
[01:07:32] socialism, radicalism
[01:07:34] um and um and I studied revolution all
[01:07:40] over the world to see how does it happen
[01:07:44] and
[01:07:46] play cut 353. This is May of 2024.
[01:07:52] Listen to this. You and I both know, and
[01:07:54] I I hate to even address stuff like
[01:07:57] this, but you and I both know there are
[01:08:00] those people, and I don't know who they
[01:08:02] are, and I don't know how many there
[01:08:03] are, but there are those people that
[01:08:05] hate Donald Trump so much because they
[01:08:08] will destroy because he will destroy
[01:08:10] their plans for a new world order. They
[01:08:14] will they would at least consider an
[01:08:18] actual assassination if this doesn't
[01:08:21] work.
[01:08:22] Uh, and that's terrifying thing that I
[01:08:25] think for
[01:08:27] um that we were going to go into a
[01:08:29] period of assassination. When I talked
[01:08:31] about assassinating the president or
[01:08:33] attempted assassination of the
[01:08:34] president, I was always very hesitant um
[01:08:37] because I just always want to be very
[01:08:39] very careful on what you say um about a
[01:08:44] president or a candidate. Um, but I knew
[01:08:46] they were coming because that's what
[01:08:48] happened in the 1960s and everything had
[01:08:50] been repeated and and Charlie and I on
[01:08:53] one one day, maybe 2018 or 2019, I can't
[01:08:57] remember. Um, he said, "What's coming
[01:08:59] next?" And we were on this balcony in
[01:09:02] Miami and it was just the two of us and
[01:09:04] we had a really amazing conversation
[01:09:07] about what was what what our
[01:09:09] responsibilities were and what we had to
[01:09:11] look out for. And he said, "What is
[01:09:13] coming next?" And I said, "Charlie,
[01:09:15] assassinations." And I he said, "How do
[01:09:17] you see that?" And I said, "Well, Donald
[01:09:19] Trump is probably the biggest target,
[01:09:21] but I don't know. I don't know. I mean,
[01:09:24] you know, last time in the 60s, it was
[01:09:26] Malcolm X, it was RFK, and it was MLK.
[01:09:30] And there were three of them. And um
[01:09:34] with an exception of RFK, they were just
[01:09:37] they were people that were, you know, in
[01:09:40] the arena, if you will. And so Charlie
[01:09:44] and I talked about, you know, what do we
[01:09:47] what do we do if that starts happening?
[01:09:49] And that's why I am so happy to see the
[01:09:52] way people that knew Charlie, loved
[01:09:55] Charlie, worked with Charlie, uh were
[01:09:59] part of TPUSA,
[01:10:01] were just fans of Charlie. I think
[01:10:02] everybody felt like they knew him
[01:10:03] because he was so personal. But um the
[01:10:06] way everybody is reacting,
[01:10:08] I wanted to uh play something um that I
[01:10:12] have not even heard yet myself. This is
[01:10:15] something that um was written by David
[01:10:20] Osmond
[01:10:21] because I knew these times were coming
[01:10:23] in probably 2018 is when um this song
[01:10:28] was first written
[01:10:30] for these days. Um and here we are. And
[01:10:34] last night, my my daughter uh Cheyenne,
[01:10:38] who
[01:10:40] was about 10 ft away from the tent in
[01:10:44] Utah
[01:10:46] uh last week, thank God. She turned her
[01:10:48] head and turned around cuz she was
[01:10:50] hearing people screaming at Charlie and
[01:10:52] she thought, "What are these idiots
[01:10:55] saying?" And she turned around and
[01:10:57] that's when she said she heard what she
[01:10:59] thought was a firecracker. And by the
[01:11:01] time she turned back to look at Charlie,
[01:11:03] she was pushed to the ground. So, she
[01:11:05] didn't, thank God, um, see it um,
[01:11:09] firsthand.
[01:11:11] Um, last night, she and David Osman went
[01:11:13] into the studio to record this in honor
[01:11:17] of
[01:11:19] Charlie Kirk.
[01:11:22] [Music]
[01:11:43] I know we
[01:11:46] don't see
[01:11:48] everything
[01:11:50] in the same way,
[01:11:52] >> but I know We
[01:11:56] won't be
[01:11:58] really free if we don't stay
[01:12:03] united.
[01:12:07] >> We will fall for anything.
[01:12:11] It's true. So I have
[01:12:15] decided
[01:12:18] I will stand for you and I will I will
[01:12:23] make your stand. I will raise my voice.
[01:12:28] I will hold your hand cuz we are one. I
[01:12:33] will beat my drum. I have made my
[01:12:37] choice. We will overcome
[01:12:40] cuz we are one.
[01:12:45] [Music]
[01:12:53] So
[01:12:55] there's no way.
[01:12:59] >> The best days are behind so wide. And
[01:13:04] you will find
[01:13:06] the times when
[01:13:09] the best men
[01:13:11] defend every friend, neighbor,
[01:13:14] countrymen.
[01:13:16] But now there's
[01:13:19] nowhere
[01:13:21] where you can speak your mind. But I
[01:13:25] will. I will make a stand. I will raise
[01:13:30] my voice. I will hold your hand cuz we
[01:13:35] are one. I will beat my drum. I have
[01:13:40] made my choice. We will overcome
[01:13:44] cuz we are one. Times may change but
[01:13:49] truth remains. We won't be silenced,
[01:13:54] won't be changed.
[01:13:56] >> Cuz injustice
[01:13:59] anywhere,
[01:14:00] friends, justice everywhere.
[01:14:06] I will make it stand. I will raise my
[01:14:10] voice. I will hold your hand. Cuz we are
[01:14:15] one.
[01:14:16] >> I will beat my drum. I have made my
[01:14:20] choice. We will overcome.
[01:14:24] Cuz we are one. I will make a stand. I
[01:14:29] will raise my heart. I will hold your
[01:14:33] hand. Cuz we are one. I will be my
[01:14:40] choice. We will overcome.
[01:14:44] Cuz we are
[01:14:48] [Music]
[01:14:55] we are one.
[01:15:01] when uh that
[01:15:05] song I asked David to write that song.
[01:15:09] Um
[01:15:15] I never thought it would be sung
[01:15:18] by my daughter
[01:15:20] for Charlie Kirk.
[01:15:27] It's amazing how the Lord works.
[01:15:36] That song is so appropriate for Charlie
[01:15:38] because
[01:15:40] that's what he was doing.
[01:15:43] Standing up for your right to speak.
[01:15:46] Standing up for your right to be you.
[01:15:49] Standing shouldertosh shoulder and being
[01:15:51] united.
[01:15:52] And I think that's why this is taking
[01:15:55] America and the world by storm.
[01:15:59] I think it's why we reuniting with
[01:16:01] people in South Korea and England and
[01:16:05] Kentucky and Tennessee and even
[01:16:08] California and New York
[01:16:13] because there's some basic principles
[01:16:15] and some basic truths that Charlie stood
[01:16:17] for and the Lord is bringing us back to
[01:16:20] those.
[01:16:22] Back in just a minute, more on the
[01:16:24] Charlie Kirk show.
[01:16:26] [Music]
[01:16:35] Today I
[01:16:37] I'm going to try to say this without
[01:16:38] tearing up. I spent my first day in
[01:16:41] church in many years.
[01:16:43] >> So tomorrow morning is my first time to
[01:16:44] go to church in many years.
[01:16:46] >> We went to church today. It was the
[01:16:49] first time in
[01:16:51] 20 years. The first time for our
[01:16:52] children. I don't come from any kind of
[01:16:55] money
[01:16:57] and I've never owned a suit before.
[01:16:59] >> Dave went to church for their first time
[01:17:01] in a really long time and it was so
[01:17:04] powerful.
[01:17:06] So many people. It was beautiful.
[01:17:08] Beautiful service and uh I think we're
[01:17:11] going to keep going.
[01:17:16] >> I didn't know Charlie Kirk. Never met
[01:17:18] that guy before in my life.
[01:17:21] And something else that I've never done
[01:17:23] before in my life is believe in God.
[01:17:29] I'm going to wear this suit to church.
[01:17:31] I'm going to go to church.
[01:17:35] I'm going to try to be a better father,
[01:17:40] husband, and leader for my family.
[01:17:44] [Music]
[01:17:46] But what happened to Charlie Kirk made
[01:17:49] me angry and sad all at the same time.
[01:17:52] But at that time, it made me feel like I
[01:17:54] was missing something
[01:17:57] that I never realized I was missing.
[01:18:00] >> We are raising three boys that will one
[01:18:03] day be men.
[01:18:06] And we want those boys to be as strong
[01:18:09] in their convictions as Charlie Kirk
[01:18:11] was. You don't think it's crazy to get
[01:18:13] in church?
[01:18:15] >> Here's the line for the second service.
[01:18:17] And there's never a line, by the way.
[01:18:19] There's never a line.
[01:18:21] >> Okay. Thank you.
[01:18:27] So, if you are someone also that went to
[01:18:29] church for the first time ever or for
[01:18:31] the first time in a very long time
[01:18:33] today, I am with you and I'm so proud of
[01:18:36] you for being bold enough to go do that
[01:18:38] or to just take a stance and say this is
[01:18:44] [Music]
[01:19:01] I mean, I I came here specifically to
[01:19:03] take advantage of it because I can see
[01:19:04] the system here and it, you know, I I
[01:19:07] mean, just saying it works for people
[01:19:08] who actually use it. So, I think I I
[01:19:12] just think we should
[01:19:12] >> All right. Thank you very much. Thanks
[01:19:14] for your time.
[01:19:17] >> All right. Yes.
[01:19:21] >> Is that a SpaceX shirt?
[01:19:23] >> Looks like it. Yeah.
[01:19:26] >> Hey, Charlie. Uh, thank you for
[01:19:28] everything you do. You're one of the
[01:19:29] reasons I started going to the church
[01:19:30] this year. Uh my first
[01:19:35] [Applause]
[01:19:37] my first question is with the population
[01:19:40] crisis going on, how can abortion not be
[01:19:42] justified when the baby will not be able
[01:19:44] to reproduce such as a baby with Down
[01:19:46] syndrome defend your abortion stance if
[01:19:49] the result will be less humans in the
[01:19:51] following generation.
[01:19:53] >> Okay. So you are you asking me as a
[01:19:55] hypothetical or are you can you can you
[01:19:57] restate that please? So with the
[01:19:59] population crisis going on
[01:20:00] >> collapse. Yeah.
[01:20:02] >> Collapse. Exactly. Uh how can abortion
[01:20:04] not be justified when the baby like such
[01:20:07] as someone who has Down syndrome will
[01:20:09] not be able to reproduce for the
[01:20:11] following generation?
[01:20:12] >> Oh yeah. I mean look Oh, you're talking
[01:20:13] about abortion for Down syndrome
[01:20:16] >> or or anyone who will not a down
[01:20:18] syndrome baby has dignity regardless of
[01:20:20] its capacity to not produce. If you find
[01:20:22] out that I mean do people that have
[01:20:24] infertility problems, do they not get
[01:20:25] human rights?
[01:20:27] Right. I mean, so if someone can't
[01:20:28] reproduce, that doesn't mean they
[01:20:29] shouldn't be allowed to live.
[01:20:31] >> Got it.
[01:20:33] Um, next question is, uh, with the rise
[01:20:35] in Bible sales and church attendance, as
[01:20:38] someone who didn't grow up with
[01:20:39] religious, uh, religion, what advice
[01:20:41] would you give to someone who's trying
[01:20:43] to welcome religion into their life and
[01:20:45] find their faith?
[01:20:46] >> I love that question. Read your Bible
[01:20:48] every single day. Um, fight your flesh.
[01:20:51] Your flesh is going to want to do easy
[01:20:53] and immediate things like drink and go
[01:20:55] out and do stuff. Find difficult and
[01:20:57] hard stuff and aim find your aim as a as
[01:21:01] a man and point everything you can
[01:21:03] towards it and spread the good news of
[01:21:06] God and Jesus Christ in every possible
[01:21:08] way that you can and put Jesus first in
[01:21:10] everything that you do.
[01:21:11] >> Awesome. Thank you. Can I shake your
[01:21:12] hand?
[01:21:13] >> Uh yes. Thank you.
[01:21:15] >> Thank you, man. God bless you. Yes.
[01:21:16] Thank you. I got to sign one. Thank you.
[01:21:18] >> Who's up?
[01:21:19] >> Yeah.
[01:21:20] [Music]
[01:21:25] You guys already have one. These
[01:21:26] >> people.
[01:21:30] [Applause]
[01:21:32] [Music]
[01:21:34] [Applause]
[01:21:35] [Music]
[01:21:39] >> All right. Here we go. Yes.
[01:21:42] Um I don't
[01:21:45] What?
[01:22:10] This is the Charlie Kirk show. My name
[01:22:13] is Glenn Beck. Uh it has been an
[01:22:15] exhausting day. We got here about 4:30
[01:22:17] in the morning to do my national radio
[01:22:20] program. I have had bomb threats before.
[01:22:22] We've had death threats before, but I've
[01:22:24] never actually had to shut down my
[01:22:25] national radio show and evacuate the
[01:22:28] studio during a bomb threat. That was it
[01:22:30] happened, I don't even know, two hours
[01:22:32] ago. Um, we're now filling in for
[01:22:35] Charlie Kirk. Uh, and uh I'm going to
[01:22:38] see Erica here for the first time. And
[01:22:42] uh
[01:22:44] I don't No, I mean that might not be
[01:22:47] good for her to see me cuz I'm going to
[01:22:48] be a sppy mess. I've had her
[01:22:50] >> She's surely going to embarrass herself.
[01:22:52] >> I am. Uh but my wife and I my wife is
[01:22:56] just obsessed. She can't stop watching
[01:22:58] the kids and everything and just she
[01:23:00] >> I can't watch it. I can't watch it. I I
[01:23:02] I'm having a hard time looking over in
[01:23:04] this corner because Erica did her speech
[01:23:07] right there last week.
[01:23:12] Anyway, Anna Paulina Luna is uh here. Uh
[01:23:16] hello Anna. How are you?
[01:23:18] >> Hi Glenn.
[01:23:21] >> You were a dear dear friend of Charlie
[01:23:25] Kirks. How are you holding up?
[01:23:29] >> Uh I don't think anyone can ever
[01:23:31] anticipate something like this
[01:23:32] happening, but what I can tell you is
[01:23:35] Charlie would not want us to throw in
[01:23:37] the towel. And so I know that right now
[01:23:39] everyone in the country for good reason
[01:23:42] is
[01:23:43] >> still kind of grappling at what
[01:23:44] happened. But what I am happy to see is
[01:23:47] the overwhelming support not just in
[01:23:49] voter registration but the amount of
[01:23:51] young people especially over 30,000
[01:23:54] requests for college campuses.
[01:23:56] >> No no no no no. Don't don't diminish
[01:24:00] that. It's now 56,000
[01:24:03] chapters
[01:24:05] >> that have been requested to be open. not
[01:24:07] new members, 56,000 chapters.
[01:24:11] >> That's remarkable.
[01:24:12] >> It is. And I know that in the end, no
[01:24:15] matter what, Charlie really did win
[01:24:17] because even half of that number would
[01:24:20] make an incredible difference on these
[01:24:21] college campuses. And just a little bit,
[01:24:23] I guess, Glenn, of how I initially found
[01:24:26] Turning Point, this was a little quantum
[01:24:27] breadcrumb, right? Like everyone at some
[01:24:29] point in your life, you're going to see
[01:24:30] these little kind of god winks that will
[01:24:32] pop up and let you know that you're on
[01:24:33] your right path. But I remember being in
[01:24:35] my finals week when I um was getting
[01:24:37] ready to graduate from college at
[01:24:38] University of West Florida and I saw
[01:24:40] these two girls and they were
[01:24:41] tableabling and they had these pins that
[01:24:43] said big government sucks. And I
[01:24:46] remember going into the library and
[01:24:47] grabbing this pin. I was like, you know,
[01:24:48] that's pretty cool. I I didn't even
[01:24:50] think, you know, that later on, fast
[01:24:52] forward, you know, a year later, that
[01:24:54] I'd be working with Charlie and that
[01:24:56] turning point. But um what I will tell
[01:24:58] you is that you know a lot of people
[01:25:01] there needs to be action outside of the
[01:25:03] legislative and the federal branch. And
[01:25:06] you know what we're finding is that what
[01:25:08] Charlie was fighting this indoctrination
[01:25:10] that was taking place on college
[01:25:11] campuses. These weren't just you know
[01:25:13] liberal professors from the 60s that had
[01:25:16] been radicalized right like this is
[01:25:17] actually a foreign governmentf funded
[01:25:20] operation. and a lot of these left-wing
[01:25:22] organizations that have been pushing
[01:25:24] these violent riots, the targeted
[01:25:27] campaigns, a lot of the people that have
[01:25:28] associations with these groups that are
[01:25:30] calling for assassinations of the
[01:25:33] president, of conservative commentators,
[01:25:36] um, and even of, you know, Charlie's
[01:25:38] family are tied to these organizations.
[01:25:40] And I guess what I'd like to share today
[01:25:43] is so you know Glenn that we were on the
[01:25:45] show talking about Neville Singham how
[01:25:46] he was funding the party of socialism
[01:25:48] and liberation code a lot of the stuff
[01:25:50] >> um comr signed on on a letter to the US
[01:25:53] Treasury to freeze all of his assets and
[01:25:55] I just met with Judge Janine and he's
[01:25:57] guilty of a FAR violation. I think the
[01:25:59] Department of Justice is going to be
[01:26:00] charging him with that. So um you know
[01:26:03] >> miracle of miracles
[01:26:05] >> miracle of miracles. Yeah, I you know,
[01:26:07] we were just talking about this new
[01:26:09] George Soros information that Ryan
[01:26:11] Morrow has just released. Is it 1:00
[01:26:14] Eastern yet? Um and um and it I mean
[01:26:18] you're going to be able to get George
[01:26:19] Soros on RICO charges. Something I've
[01:26:21] been asking for for 15 years and it's
[01:26:24] it's happening. I I think you know
[01:26:26] there's just no better name uh to name
[01:26:30] Charlie's movie than turning point. I
[01:26:32] mean, we are truly at a turning point
[01:26:34] and uh I couldn't be happier.
[01:26:37] >> I'm glad that everyone is doing what
[01:26:40] needs to be done because Charlie
[01:26:42] ultimately was a freedom fighter and
[01:26:43] everything that he was doing, you know,
[01:26:45] the GOP failed to recognize and he was
[01:26:48] able to transcend politics, but then
[01:26:50] also to able to share his message. And
[01:26:52] so, yes, it's been extremely hard. It's
[01:26:54] been even harder to see some of the
[01:26:56] commentary coming out of people that I
[01:26:57] have to walk by every single day up here
[01:26:59] on the hill and not knowing him and then
[01:27:02] continuing this rhetoric. But what I
[01:27:04] will tell you is a lot of them know the
[01:27:07] truth and that he was not what they
[01:27:08] painted him out to be. And I am happy
[01:27:12] that he has the team in place that's
[01:27:13] standing with Turning Point because I
[01:27:15] know that this
[01:27:16] >> organization is going to continue not
[01:27:18] just for voter engagement and for youth
[01:27:20] engagement, but to really help fight
[01:27:21] back. And I think that there are a lot
[01:27:23] of very powerful people now that are
[01:27:25] listening to what needs to be done and
[01:27:28] this is the change that we needed.
[01:27:29] >> Anna Paulina Luna, thank you so much.
[01:27:31] You know, the one thing that's come to
[01:27:33] me in prayer several times is these are
[01:27:36] not enemies of yours, Glenn. These are
[01:27:38] not enemies of yours. These are enemies
[01:27:40] of mine. Um, and he will deal with them.
[01:27:43] We just have to do the next right thing
[01:27:46] and stand exactly where he asks us to
[01:27:48] stand. Anna Paulina Luna, thank you so
[01:27:50] much. More with the Charlie Kirk show
[01:27:52] and Mike Lee next.
[01:27:56] [Music]
[01:28:05] What I think is really promising about
[01:28:09] the kind of conservative movement is we
[01:28:11] don't all have to agree. We don't even
[01:28:13] all have to agree on tactics at time. At
[01:28:16] times it's almost as if the leftist
[01:28:18] media is attacking Donald Trump for not
[01:28:21] having everyone be exactly the same in
[01:28:23] the room. Almost as if that's what
[01:28:24] they're used to. They're used to looking
[01:28:26] at a press pool where there's no
[01:28:28] disagreement whatsoever, which is
[01:28:30] completely antithetical to what
[01:28:32] journalism and expression should be. And
[01:28:34] so I actually applaud the fact that not
[01:28:37] everyone in the room agrees on every
[01:28:39] issue or sees eye to eye on even the way
[01:28:41] to go about advancing those issues. Um
[01:28:43] that that's something that should be
[01:28:44] celebrated.
[01:28:55] the um the schools in Canada that abused
[01:29:00] many Native American people. I I just
[01:29:03] don't see how we could argue that
[01:29:04] Christianity is the great moral
[01:29:07] authority that you're saying it is for
[01:29:10] making these laws when arguably they've
[01:29:13] done a lot of horrible things.
[01:29:16] >> What What moral code do you live by?
[01:29:18] >> Uh I'm a Buddhist so I I mean
[01:29:22] >> so it's all about yourself.
[01:29:24] >> No, it's just about being Well, I guess
[01:29:28] you could say that but
[01:29:29] >> I know. Yeah, I know Buddhism. So let
[01:29:30] let's play it out. What is the top
[01:29:32] accomplishment of a Buddhist?
[01:29:34] >> Um, I guess just to be a good person and
[01:29:38] >> no to reach Nirvana. You know that.
[01:29:40] >> Well, yes, but not everyone can reach
[01:29:42] Nirvana.
[01:29:43] >> I know. But you want to try to ascend,
[01:29:45] right? And so it's all about yourself.
[01:29:47] All inward looking, right? To try to
[01:29:49] limit your touch with the outside world
[01:29:51] that the outside world is dirty and
[01:29:53] it's, you know, it's kind of polluted. I
[01:29:56] I don't believe I'm as a Buddhist that's
[01:29:58] not how I was taught and I don't think
[01:30:00] it's fair for you to argue for Buddhism
[01:30:03] in that sense because Buddhism Buddhists
[01:30:05] >> No, I know plenty about Buddhism. So
[01:30:07] Buddhism as it's written is that the
[01:30:08] world is contaminated. We must remove
[01:30:10] ourselves from the world and we're going
[01:30:12] to spiritually ascend ourselves by
[01:30:14] meditation.
[01:30:15] >> But there's people who don't believe in
[01:30:17] that. Then you don't believe in
[01:30:18] Buddhism. That's fine. It's okay.
[01:30:19] Buddhism and they believe in all
[01:30:21] different kinds of things. Just there's
[01:30:23] different sections Christianity. I'm
[01:30:24] just not in that sect.
[01:30:26] >> Got it. So, can you show So, you what
[01:30:28] what moral what moral way do you think
[01:30:30] society should live by? Not
[01:30:31] Christianity. So, what way should we
[01:30:32] live by?
[01:30:33] >> I think that there it's not as much
[01:30:36] about morality as much as societal and
[01:30:39] just societal needs. Like for example,
[01:30:41] like abortion. We can't argue that, you
[01:30:44] know, Christianity is the reason that we
[01:30:47] should not allow abortions when clearly
[01:30:49] there's both a medical and a societal
[01:30:51] need for abortions. There's no there's
[01:30:53] not a medical reason to kill babies,
[01:30:54] right? That doesn't exist.
[01:30:56] >> Um, okay. Well, I have one example for
[01:30:59] that. My mother had vasopia and they had
[01:31:03] offered her an abortion because birthing
[01:31:06] the baby would not only kill her and
[01:31:09] like if she went into labor because the
[01:31:11] placenta had split into many little
[01:31:13] veins and covered her birth canal if she
[01:31:15] ever went into labor and my little
[01:31:18] brother at the time if he had pushed on
[01:31:19] the birth canal to exit her um she would
[01:31:23] have died. Both her and her son would
[01:31:25] have died.
[01:31:25] >> Did your brother survive or no? Uh I I
[01:31:28] want to continue with this point. So she
[01:31:30] was offered the opportunity for an
[01:31:32] abortion because not only was she the
[01:31:35] main bread winner of her family, but she
[01:31:37] is also um raising two kids as well
[01:31:41] already. She's a she's the right to an
[01:31:44] abortion is possibly could have saved
[01:31:47] her life. She did end up surviving, but
[01:31:49] not I don't think that um we should
[01:31:54] limit the ability to get an abortion to
[01:31:57] other women in her.
[01:31:58] >> Wait, hold on. Time out. So, your
[01:31:59] brother, you know, now.
[01:32:00] >> Huh?
[01:32:01] >> Is your brother survived or no?
[01:32:03] >> Yes, he did.
[01:32:03] >> Wait, so aren't you glad your brother
[01:32:04] wasn't aborted?
[01:32:07] I
[01:32:07] >> mean, come on.
[01:32:08] >> I don't
[01:32:08] >> What kind of argument is that? Aren't
[01:32:10] you glad your brother's not dead?
[01:32:11] >> It's not that I not I'm I'm glad that he
[01:32:14] wasn't aborted.
[01:32:15] >> Yes. So, that's So, we're pro- life.
[01:32:17] That's what we want. We don't want your
[01:32:18] brother to be aborted. Imagine how many
[01:32:19] millions other like him are aborted.
[01:32:21] >> What if my mom died?
[01:32:23] >> She didn't. It's not even a good
[01:32:24] argument.
[01:32:25] >> Well, there's so many people that did.
[01:32:27] >> No, that's not correct. I said that
[01:32:29] earlier. It only happens a couple dozen
[01:32:30] times a year and the baby could be
[01:32:32] delivered by C-section.
[01:32:32] >> People with vasopia have a much higher
[01:32:35] rate of death than other women.
[01:32:37] >> This happens maybe a couple hundred
[01:32:38] times a year. And there's 1.5 million
[01:32:40] abortions every single year. This is on
[01:32:42] the extreme of the extreme. We have to
[01:32:43] take away abortions, then we're taking
[01:32:45] away from everybody, even the people who
[01:32:47] have a medical need for abortion, where
[01:32:48] the baby is going to kill them if they
[01:32:50] come out.
[01:32:50] >> Again, I I can grant you that fine,
[01:32:52] we'll have those exceptions. Can we make
[01:32:54] abortion illegal for the other
[01:32:55] circumstances?
[01:32:56] >> No, because
[01:32:56] >> Oh, so maybe it's not about those
[01:32:58] circumstances. You're just using it.
[01:33:00] It is about those circumstances because
[01:33:02] when we take away those rights from
[01:33:03] everyone and we go into a hospital and
[01:33:06] there's an emergency need to remove a
[01:33:08] baby, then we have to prove that there's
[01:33:10] an actual emergency need instead of just
[01:33:12] it being an automatic right. Then
[01:33:14] doctors
[01:33:14] >> don't have a right to murder another
[01:33:16] human being.
[01:33:17] >> It's not necessarily a right. It's just
[01:33:19] the ability to
[01:33:20] >> So when your brother was in your mom's
[01:33:22] womb, was your brother a human being?
[01:33:25] >> I mean, it's that's I don't want to
[01:33:28] argue that.
[01:33:33] [Music]
[01:33:43] This is the Charlie Kirk show. My name
[01:33:47] is Glenn Beck. We have uh Mike Lee, the
[01:33:50] senator from Utah on. Um Mike is a dear
[01:33:54] dear friend and I know is a dear friend
[01:33:56] of Charlie's. um and uh is one of the
[01:34:00] strongest constitutionalists
[01:34:02] uh in um the our our Senate and a man
[01:34:06] that I hope someday will be appointed as
[01:34:08] Supreme Court Justice. Uh welcome, Mike.
[01:34:11] How are you?
[01:34:14] >> Thank you, Glenn. It's good to be with
[01:34:15] you as always.
[01:34:17] >> Um can I talk to you just about Utah
[01:34:19] here for a second? I mean, if this is
[01:34:21] happening in Utah, this is everywhere.
[01:34:23] Um, it is it's shocking to me that it
[01:34:27] came from Utah, although maybe not so
[01:34:30] much seeing the response of UVU and the
[01:34:32] president of UVU. Do you have any
[01:34:34] comments on that?
[01:34:38] >> All of this is shocking. The events of
[01:34:41] last week are still echoing through our
[01:34:44] minds. Uh, many of us telling that it
[01:34:47] happened, telling that the killer was
[01:34:48] from Utah. Um there are things within
[01:34:52] Utah that don't make sense right now.
[01:34:55] There are um
[01:34:57] I think one could say that Utah is
[01:34:59] fairly mismatched in several respects.
[01:35:02] It's ma mismatched with its own media
[01:35:06] institutions which overwhelmingly
[01:35:09] radically left. It's mismatched with a
[01:35:11] lot of elements within its educational
[01:35:13] system, primary and secondary and higher
[01:35:15] education
[01:35:16] >> where you've got a a very conservative
[01:35:20] populace on the whole. Of course, there
[01:35:22] are exceptions everywhere, but these
[01:35:24] institutions in education and the media
[01:35:28] uh are stand in stark contrast. It's
[01:35:32] almost like we've got the media of
[01:35:33] Mother Jones uh in in a state that's
[01:35:37] much more in line with National Review
[01:35:39] or uh Fox News or something else like
[01:35:42] that. And so that that really is
[01:35:46] creating some turmoil within the state
[01:35:48] and some disagreement, some cognitive
[01:35:49] dissonance at times on the part of the
[01:35:51] left which still refuses uh to
[01:35:54] acknowledge some of the problems that
[01:35:56] we're facing. And uh it's deeply
[01:35:58] concerning,
[01:36:00] >> Mike. Um, let me switch. And one of the
[01:36:04] reasons why I'm so glad that you are in
[01:36:05] the Senate, um, and beg you to stay
[01:36:08] every time election comes up. Please,
[01:36:10] Mike, please run again. Um, is I am
[01:36:13] afraid that, and I'm already seeing
[01:36:15] signs of it, that there are those that
[01:36:18] like big government who are also
[01:36:21] conservative or say they are
[01:36:22] conservative, but they're big
[01:36:23] government. Um, and I'm so afraid of a
[01:36:27] Patriot Act coming out of this. And
[01:36:29] there was something put up on change,
[01:36:32] what is it? Change.org. And I read
[01:36:34] through it. It was about a new Smith
[01:36:36] Munt Act. Um, and it it was honestly it
[01:36:39] was terrifying the way it was written.
[01:36:41] Um, and got a lot of likes. A lot of
[01:36:43] people are saying, "Yeah, that's what we
[01:36:44] got to do." And the Smith Can you
[01:36:46] explain the Smith Munt Act on what it
[01:36:51] what it did? It actually stems back from
[01:36:53] World War I and World War II, but what
[01:36:56] it was keeping at bay and then why it
[01:36:58] was repealed in 2011.
[01:37:03] >> Yeah. So, it's interesting how this has
[01:37:05] unfolded um during the cold war era in
[01:37:09] particular. As you point out, this all
[01:37:11] started in World War I. I think it grew
[01:37:13] to
[01:37:15] uh much bigger size during World War II
[01:37:17] and in the aftermath of the Cold War.
[01:37:19] But the US established a fairly
[01:37:21] sophisticated propaganda system for use
[01:37:24] overseas for use in other countries to
[01:37:28] deliver the messages we wanted
[01:37:30] consistent with uh America's interests
[01:37:32] abroad. The Smith Month Act among other
[01:37:35] things prohibited
[01:37:37] the US government from using that same
[01:37:40] propaganda machine for domestic
[01:37:41] political prop propaganda. In other
[01:37:43] words, fine for us to use this in our
[01:37:46] foreign adversary nations or direct it
[01:37:48] to them. Don't use it on our own
[01:37:50] citizens because big government already
[01:37:53] does enough to influence what we do. It
[01:37:56] tells us what we do uh are supposed to
[01:37:58] do at every turn. We don't also need our
[01:38:00] government telling us what to think. So
[01:38:02] that's why Smith Monk was adopted. Um
[01:38:05] >> I think it's Hang on. I think I think
[01:38:08] it's really important before you move on
[01:38:09] to the repeal. I think it's really
[01:38:11] important that happened in 1946, but it
[01:38:13] really stems from World War I. The I
[01:38:15] want you poster was not a Smith I mean
[01:38:19] not a Creole um creation. Um however the
[01:38:24] the Creole operatives they were the ones
[01:38:26] in the government that put that in every
[01:38:28] post office and every you know every
[01:38:31] theater everywhere. They did all these
[01:38:33] kinds of things to get Americans hyped
[01:38:35] into World War I. When World War I
[01:38:37] ended, they felt betrayed by their own
[01:38:40] government. They were like, "What? You
[01:38:42] lied to us about all of this stuff and
[01:38:45] they realized propaganda was being used.
[01:38:47] That's why we were so um isolationist
[01:38:51] um up until, you know, 1941 when they
[01:38:53] brought it home to us. Um and we were
[01:38:56] very isolationist because we felt our
[01:38:58] government lied to us because of this
[01:39:00] propaganda. So, as we're turning on
[01:39:03] propaganda overseas for the Russians and
[01:39:06] uh you know, the Voice of America, the
[01:39:09] the Democrats were the ones who led this
[01:39:11] said you cannot use any of this
[01:39:14] propaganda on the American people. We
[01:39:17] signed it in and then 2011, what
[01:39:19] happened?
[01:39:22] Well, as part of the Defense
[01:39:24] Authorization Act during the Obama
[01:39:26] administration,
[01:39:28] uh the Senate, this piece in there
[01:39:30] didn't get much attention at the time.
[01:39:33] Uh I voted against it, of course, but uh
[01:39:37] that undid it. Nobody really um offered
[01:39:41] much of a defense as to why it needed to
[01:39:43] happen and they hoped that it would go
[01:39:45] through largely unseen, largely
[01:39:48] undisussed.
[01:39:49] >> And it did.
[01:39:51] >> Mhm. And uh it's time to bring it back.
[01:39:54] It's time to bring back the prohibition.
[01:39:56] Look, there's there's no good reason in
[01:39:58] a free society like ours for our
[01:40:01] government to be manipulating its own
[01:40:04] people. And that's why I've introduced a
[01:40:05] bill to bring back this prohibition in
[01:40:08] Smith Month. And in honor of our our
[01:40:12] friend who lost his life a week ago, um
[01:40:15] I'm naming it the Charlie Kirk Act. Uh
[01:40:18] Charlie uh was a big fan of limited
[01:40:21] government, was a deep skeptic of the
[01:40:24] brooding, omniresent government that we
[01:40:26] often face today and would have been
[01:40:29] thrilled uh to be honored by uh a
[01:40:33] measure to bring back Smith Monk bearing
[01:40:36] his name. And we've got to give this
[01:40:37] passed.
[01:40:38] >> Yeah, this is so important. I mean, you
[01:40:40] saw it firsthand. If you were uh you
[01:40:43] know, if you were alive during CO, you
[01:40:45] know, the propaganda that was was done
[01:40:49] by our government in league with big
[01:40:51] pharmaceuticals
[01:40:53] um and the media that was all propaganda
[01:40:55] and they could get away with it because
[01:40:58] the Smith UN mak was um had been
[01:41:02] repealed.
[01:41:04] all of the stuff that you have gone
[01:41:05] through with propaganda where they're
[01:41:08] setting up uh you know truth squads
[01:41:11] where the government will say what's
[01:41:13] true and what's not. All of that
[01:41:14] happened because of the repeal of this
[01:41:16] act in 2011. You want to stop it, you
[01:41:20] have to put that back in and and he is
[01:41:22] calling it the Charlie Kirk Act. And
[01:41:24] when did you introduce or when will you
[01:41:26] introduce this?
[01:41:29] >> Uh we introduced it this week. I believe
[01:41:31] it was yesterday uh that it was formally
[01:41:34] introduced. May have been the day
[01:41:35] before, but it's time for it to happen.
[01:41:38] Look, I have yet to hear a really good
[01:41:41] effective
[01:41:43] uh defense of the repeal of Smith. Uh
[01:41:47] not in 2012 when it was passed as part
[01:41:49] of the of the uh National Defense
[01:41:51] Authorization Act for for fiscal year
[01:41:55] 2013 and not since then. uh people are
[01:41:58] actually afraid to defend it and they're
[01:42:00] afraid with good reason. You just say
[01:42:02] that the American people don't take
[01:42:03] kindly to that. The American people
[01:42:05] don't take kindly to their uh overly
[01:42:08] paternalistic um sort of um uh dark
[01:42:12] overlord government trying to tell them
[01:42:15] what to think, trying to tell them
[01:42:16] here's the official position of the
[01:42:18] United States government. We're not
[01:42:19] actually going to tell you that that's
[01:42:21] what's doing it. we're just going to use
[01:42:22] the same techniques that we use overseas
[01:42:24] to try to get what what we want in other
[01:42:26] countries on American voters. That's
[01:42:29] wrong because you're taking money from
[01:42:31] the American people. You're spending it
[01:42:33] that tell them what to think and
[01:42:34] therefore how to vote. And that's wrong.
[01:42:37] And I I I really don't think there are
[01:42:39] very many Americans. I suspect uh this
[01:42:42] one would pull overwhelmingly in favor
[01:42:44] of restoring the prohibitions of Smith
[01:42:46] Month. And that's what we've got to do.
[01:42:49] Uh it's amazing because I've been so
[01:42:51] concerned that we'll go the wrong
[01:42:54] direction. We'll do another Patriot Act
[01:42:56] and this one is in the right direction
[01:42:58] and it actually handcuffs our
[01:43:01] government. Um puts it puts the chains
[01:43:03] back on the government. Uh which is
[01:43:05] exactly the opposite of what happened
[01:43:07] last time, you know, with the Patriot
[01:43:09] Act. Um we unleash the government and
[01:43:12] this is such a good sign that this is
[01:43:14] coming. How how many sponsors do you
[01:43:16] have for it, Mike?
[01:43:18] You know, I am not sure on that. I
[01:43:20] should know that and I don't. But we're
[01:43:22] gathering sponsors still. We can use all
[01:43:25] the sponsors we can get. And so if
[01:43:28] you're listening today and um you're not
[01:43:32] sure whether your senator supports it,
[01:43:34] ask him or her uh to get behind it and
[01:43:38] to co-sponsor the Charlie Kirk Act.
[01:43:40] Heaven knows we need it.
[01:43:43] >> Where do we go from here, Mike? What do
[01:43:45] you see in the cards?
[01:43:51] far as where we go from here. Um,
[01:43:54] w with this particular bill, we've just
[01:43:56] got to continue to send the message that
[01:43:59] if if we learned anything from CO, if we
[01:44:01] learned anything from the who knows how
[01:44:03] many other incidents, how many other
[01:44:06] episodes or seasons when the government
[01:44:08] got too involved in telling us things
[01:44:10] that turned out to be true, that turned
[01:44:12] out to be very untrue and turned out to
[01:44:14] be manipulative. uh the more we can get
[01:44:16] that message out and just remind people
[01:44:18] of the fact that governments are there
[01:44:21] to do some very simple tasks to protect
[01:44:23] life, liberty, and property. This
[01:44:25] government in particular is there to
[01:44:26] provide for our national defense uh and
[01:44:30] uh perform the handful of other tasks
[01:44:32] identified in article one section 8 of
[01:44:34] the constitution. Happy constitution day
[01:44:36] by the way.
[01:44:37] >> Um the more we can get people focused on
[01:44:39] that, the greater our chances are going
[01:44:41] to be to get this thing done. As far as
[01:44:43] where we go from here more broadly, I do
[01:44:46] think we this is a great opportunity for
[01:44:48] Americans to refocus on the fact that um
[01:44:53] our government
[01:44:55] and what it does
[01:44:58] should never be something that's big
[01:45:01] enough that's a significant enough part
[01:45:03] of people's lives to where they define
[01:45:04] themselves
[01:45:06] and their their significance in this
[01:45:08] life according to what does even to the
[01:45:12] point where people feel compelled to
[01:45:14] murder someone who doesn't share their
[01:45:16] political worldview simply because other
[01:45:19] people happen to be listening to that
[01:45:21] person. Part of what was so tragic about
[01:45:24] this event is it was a app a uh a week
[01:45:28] ago Kirk wasn't taken down because the
[01:45:32] shooter didn't like I don't know his
[01:45:35] choice of apparel
[01:45:36] >> or uh what he likes to eat. it was based
[01:45:40] on his political views. That should by
[01:45:43] itself be a signal to us that
[01:45:44] something's gone terribly wrong. This
[01:45:46] government has gotten way too big. It's
[01:45:48] gotten way too prominent and we need to
[01:45:49] bring it back. And it's a good way of
[01:45:51] wrapping it back into Constitution Day.
[01:45:53] When we celebrate Constitution Day, we
[01:45:56] have to remember that the whole point of
[01:45:57] the Constitution is to restrain
[01:45:59] government. Laws typically restrain
[01:46:00] individuals.
[01:46:02] >> Uh the Constitution's whole purpose is
[01:46:04] to restrain government. every provision
[01:46:06] in it is there as a restraint on
[01:46:08] government and we need to accept it as
[01:46:09] such.
[01:46:10] >> Senator Mike Lee from the great state of
[01:46:12] Utah. Thank you so much for talking to
[01:46:13] me, Mike. I appreciate it. Uh, next I'm
[01:46:16] going to talk to one of the leaders of
[01:46:17] TPUSA.
[01:46:19] Where do we go from here? How do we
[01:46:21] continue to win elections? What is the
[01:46:24] future for TPUSA?
[01:46:29] [Music]
[01:46:35] on this election. We want to try to lose
[01:46:37] by less with younger voters and then we
[01:46:39] are going to create the most
[01:46:41] sophisticated low propensity get out the
[01:46:44] vote turnout machine um in in modern
[01:46:47] political history for the right. And
[01:46:49] here was our our our theory of the case
[01:46:51] first on the on the get out the vote,
[01:46:53] which is that we believed that there
[01:46:55] were millions of people that were Trump
[01:46:57] supporters that were not Trump voters.
[01:47:00] The people that would say, "Yay, Trump,"
[01:47:02] and they would be with them, but they
[01:47:03] weren't putting a ballot in a box. They
[01:47:06] weren't casting a vote. And we tested
[01:47:08] the theory of the case when I started to
[01:47:10] go to Trump rallies and I would ask
[01:47:13] people, and I take a lot of selfies.
[01:47:15] People are super nice and they love the
[01:47:16] country. And one out of 30 people I'd
[01:47:18] say, "Hey, are you registered to vote?"
[01:47:20] And they'd say, "Oh, yeah, I think so."
[01:47:22] Yeah. And I'd get this kind of, you
[01:47:24] know, half answer. And so I I got went
[01:47:27] back to my team. I said, "Guys, I think
[01:47:28] there's a lot more in this reservoir
[01:47:31] than we realize." And so we compared it
[01:47:33] with the data with the Trump campaign,
[01:47:35] which we were allowed to do thanks to a
[01:47:37] FDC ruling back in the spring. And we
[01:47:39] said, "Guys, let's beat the left at
[01:47:41] their own game. Let's engage in early
[01:47:43] voting even though it's a flawed system
[01:47:46] in a way that has never been done before
[01:47:48] because it gives us actually more days
[01:47:50] to get low likely voters to go vote. If
[01:47:52] you have 30 days to do it, you can then
[01:47:54] get someone who is not as easy to
[01:47:56] persuade to vote because then you can
[01:47:58] get five or six touches on them. So, we
[01:48:00] hired well over 1,000 full-time people.
[01:48:02] It's the greatest ground force that's
[01:48:04] ever done. We we raised tens of millions
[01:48:06] of dollars, praise God, um from our
[01:48:08] donors and we pitched them on this
[01:48:09] saying, "Hey, the road to the White
[01:48:10] House is going to be going through these
[01:48:12] states. We know that. Um we're going to
[01:48:14] need to first register a ton of voters,
[01:48:16] build relationships in communities, and
[01:48:18] then drive a turnout machine over a
[01:48:20] 30-day period to get Donald Trump across
[01:48:23] the finish line." And the states that we
[01:48:25] primarily focused on was Arizona,
[01:48:27] Wisconsin. Uh we had some work of course
[01:48:29] in Pennsylvania, uh and Georgia, but
[01:48:31] really Arizona, Wisconsin. Um, and in
[01:48:34] Wisconsin, I can tell you that if it
[01:48:35] wasn't for our effort, Donald Trump uh
[01:48:37] would have fallen short. We chased in
[01:48:39] excess of over 70,000 low propensity
[01:48:41] voters in Wisconsin. Wow. Donald Trump
[01:48:43] won by 28,000 votes. Um, here in
[01:48:46] Arizona, as we are speaking, uh, we
[01:48:48] still have 850,000 votes left to count.
[01:48:50] Uh, we we like to take at least 90 days
[01:48:52] to count our ballots here. It's it's a
[01:48:54] joke. Um, and Carrie Lake is only down
[01:48:56] 40. It's it's it's it's really something
[01:48:58] else. I know we'll find by St. Patrick's
[01:49:01] Day. We'll we'll find out who won the
[01:49:03] Senate race, but um Carrie Lake is down
[01:49:05] 44,000 votes here in Arizona, and she
[01:49:09] might she might fall 10,000 votes short
[01:49:11] or win by 10,000 votes, but um thanks to
[01:49:13] our effort and the team, uh we closed an
[01:49:16] eight point polling gap for Carrie Lake.
[01:49:18] And so, look, basically what we did is
[01:49:20] we took this movement that Donald Trump
[01:49:22] created, that Donald Trump led, and we
[01:49:25] added machinery to the movement, and we
[01:49:28] were able to successfully turn Trump
[01:49:30] supporters into Trump voters.
[01:49:39] >> We have to decide what laws to make. We
[01:49:42] have to say something.
[01:49:42] >> And I think the laws should be dependent
[01:49:44] on
[01:49:45] >> on what? how we can most benefit the
[01:49:47] people already existing in our society.
[01:49:49] >> Well, okay. So, but don't people in the
[01:49:51] womb exist?
[01:49:53] >> That's you could you could argue that
[01:49:56] for so long. It I don't think it's
[01:49:58] really useful when we're talking about
[01:50:01] >> Are you glad you weren't aborted?
[01:50:05] >> I
[01:50:06] >> Are you glad you weren't aborted? I'm
[01:50:08] not I mean I had I just if it was
[01:50:11] something that my if aborting me would
[01:50:14] have benefited my mother far more than
[01:50:16] having me would have then I wouldn't be
[01:50:18] necessarily angry about it, you know?
[01:50:20] Like it's not
[01:50:22] >> See, I'm glad your mom did not abort you
[01:50:24] cuz I think life is beautiful. And I
[01:50:25] want to give that gift to as many people
[01:50:27] as possible.
[01:50:28] >> Yeah. But you're also in the same turn
[01:50:31] taking that gift away from women. If a
[01:50:34] woman has a medical need and her life is
[01:50:36] in danger,
[01:50:36] >> I've already granted let's say abortion
[01:50:38] is legal for medical circumstances. 1.4
[01:50:41] million
[01:50:41] >> then when we get rid of abortion for
[01:50:44] those exceptions, right? We need to
[01:50:45] think about how it is applied in the
[01:50:49] actual
[01:50:49] >> abortion is the number one form of birth
[01:50:51] control in the country right now. Over
[01:50:52] 1.4 million abortions every single year
[01:50:54] for non- rape, non- incest, non-life of
[01:50:56] the mother. It's
[01:50:57] >> really the number one form of birth
[01:50:58] control.
[01:51:12] Welcome to the uh the Charlie Kirk uh
[01:51:16] program. Um my name is Glenn Beck. It
[01:51:18] has been a true honor to fill in uh for
[01:51:21] Charlie today. Uh and we're going to be
[01:51:23] kind of hanging around for a few days
[01:51:25] until till Sunday. Um but
[01:51:29] the feeling here is um godly, very
[01:51:33] godly. Tyler Boyer's uh with us. Um he
[01:51:37] is the CEO COO
[01:51:39] >> COO of Turning Point Action. We we just
[01:51:42] played a clip of Charlie and I talking
[01:51:44] right after the election last time. And
[01:51:46] I've talked to people who said, "What
[01:51:48] you guys have planned for the midterms
[01:51:50] and even looking forward to 2028 is
[01:51:54] awesome. Going to make it look like
[01:51:55] child's play. what happened last time.
[01:51:58] Are you concerned at all?
[01:52:01] >> You know, uh, Glenn, thank you for that.
[01:52:04] I mean, I'm obviously this has been a
[01:52:07] lot to process this whole last week.
[01:52:09] >> Uh, you know, I'm the COO because
[01:52:11] Charlie's the CEO.
[01:52:13] >> So, losing, you know, the, you know, the
[01:52:16] the head of the the household here has
[01:52:18] been has been tough, I think, for all of
[01:52:20] us. But the the beautiful part about
[01:52:22] what we've done and we've been doing is
[01:52:24] we've been putting our pen to paper this
[01:52:26] entire time really focused on what what
[01:52:29] the plan is like you mentioned focused
[01:52:31] on 2028 and working our way backwards
[01:52:34] from that looking at 2032 and working
[01:52:36] our way backwards and when you do it
[01:52:38] when you take that process I mean that's
[01:52:39] the way the left does it uh when you
[01:52:41] take that process you can actually
[01:52:43] formulate a plan pretty quickly and
[01:52:45] that's what we've done with our chase
[01:52:46] the vote initiative
[01:52:47] >> you know the really great thing is
[01:52:48] Charlie was not a I you you weren't he
[01:52:51] you weren't joining because you were a
[01:52:52] fan of him. I mean he was teaching
[01:52:54] principles. So the base is
[01:52:57] principalbased.
[01:52:58] >> That's right.
[01:52:59] >> Um and that's really a healthy thing.
[01:53:02] >> Yeah. I mean this is that's at the core
[01:53:04] of the elections. 2028 in particular is
[01:53:08] really focused on the grassroots. Uh we
[01:53:11] are our our number one culture point
[01:53:12] that we have at Turning Point USA and
[01:53:15] Turning Point Action is what we call
[01:53:16] grassroots humility. If you focus on the
[01:53:19] grassroots, then you get candidates that
[01:53:21] the grassroots wants to work for
[01:53:23] >> and then therefore it kind of builds the
[01:53:25] program for you. U and that's really the
[01:53:27] beauty of Turning Point and we where we
[01:53:29] felt like we had to step up really uh
[01:53:31] coming out of the 2022 election when we
[01:53:33] realized that you know everybody was not
[01:53:35] being honest at the what I call the
[01:53:38] Republican establishment the the core at
[01:53:41] the you know
[01:53:42] >> I like to call them the evil empire
[01:53:43] >> the the national Republican apparatus.
[01:53:45] Yeah. the evil empire, whatever you want
[01:53:47] to call them, but the apparatus itself
[01:53:49] was kind of lying to people and saying,
[01:53:50] "Hey, we've got this handle. We got this
[01:53:52] handle. We can do this. We can do this.
[01:53:53] Red wave, red wave." And they didn't
[01:53:55] show up with anybody. And so, we knew,
[01:53:58] and this is the beauty of of Charlie and
[01:54:00] what we we had done, was we had seen the
[01:54:02] culmination of of how many people kind
[01:54:04] of became disciples at Turning Point.
[01:54:06] And we knew that we could take that and
[01:54:08] we had to take that talent and convert
[01:54:11] it into action. And so that's what
[01:54:13] really built the C4 plan heading into
[01:54:15] 2024.
[01:54:16] >> You know, it's really interesting
[01:54:16] thinking about the coverage leading up
[01:54:18] to the election. Um, Turning Point, I
[01:54:21] think, was really put on the line by the
[01:54:23] coverage. And I think this was
[01:54:25] intentional that there was a a big
[01:54:27] belief that if Trump lost, if this
[01:54:30] didn't turn out the right way, there was
[01:54:32] someone to point blame at and it was you
[01:54:34] and Charlie. It was it was turning
[01:54:36] point. That was that was the big setup
[01:54:37] beforehand. Oh, you're going to put
[01:54:39] Charlie Kirk in ahead of your turnout
[01:54:42] operation.
[01:54:43] I mean, was there a moment where you
[01:54:45] were like, this is really a a moment
[01:54:47] that's going to make or break not only
[01:54:48] the country, but also this organization?
[01:54:51] >> Uh, the beautiful part about being right
[01:54:53] next to Charlie Kirk for as many years
[01:54:55] as I've been is that it's a pressure
[01:54:57] cooker unlike anything else, even with
[01:54:59] the small stuff in the early days, is
[01:55:02] that uh we live for this pressure. I
[01:55:04] mean, that's at the end of the day,
[01:55:06] that's you talk about Super Bowls, the
[01:55:08] Super Bowls, that's what you have to,
[01:55:10] you know, that's what you want. You want
[01:55:12] the coverage. You want to invite in all
[01:55:14] of that. So, uh, I think the the real
[01:55:17] beauty in the story, uh, from this last
[01:55:19] election cycle, and I'm so glad
[01:55:20] everything worked out the way it did,
[01:55:22] you know, not knowing at the time that
[01:55:23] it was going to be the last time that we
[01:55:25] would,
[01:55:26] >> you know, run a race together, right?
[01:55:28] Like do do the work because that that
[01:55:30] wasn't the plan. That was never the the
[01:55:32] anticipated outcome here.
[01:55:34] >> Uh but but looking back, it's now like
[01:55:37] it's been really hard thinking about all
[01:55:39] this last week was
[01:55:40] >> this is I value that and those those
[01:55:44] individual experiences where it was
[01:55:45] tough where people did put all that
[01:55:48] pressure on us. I wouldn't have it any
[01:55:49] other way. I really would not have it
[01:55:51] any other way at all because uh excuse
[01:55:54] me
[01:55:57] because had it not been positioned that
[01:55:59] way um I don't know if if the
[01:56:04] celebration of of what we were able to
[01:56:07] accomplish for this last election would
[01:56:09] feel the same
[01:56:11] and and what that would lead into for
[01:56:13] this next election cycle in the future
[01:56:15] now what the legacy of Charlie Kirk will
[01:56:16] be. And so that's what we have to live
[01:56:18] up to. That's what we have to do.
[01:56:21] We are your friends because we're your
[01:56:23] friends, but we also believe in your
[01:56:25] mission and uh we know what you guys are
[01:56:28] doing. We are here for you at any time,
[01:56:31] anything you need.

[01:56:45] [Music]
[01:56:58] I remember driving around and as a
[01:57:00] sophomore and a junior in high school
[01:57:02] listening to your radio program in the
[01:57:04] morning.
[01:57:04] >> I wasn't there when you gave the speech
[01:57:06] at the Lincoln Memorial. Is that right?
[01:57:11] >> But I saw it. I remember saw it being
[01:57:13] simoc casted and uh you you said some
[01:57:15] very I think prophetic things there.
[01:57:18] >> I know it. I have been looking for the
[01:57:20] next George Washington.
[01:57:24] I can't find him. He may be 8 years old,
[01:57:28] but this is the moment.
[01:57:29] >> And now 18-year-old Charlie Kirk is
[01:57:31] saying enough is enough.
[01:57:33] >> This is Charlie Kirk reporting from
[01:57:35] Marquette University. I I like ideas. I
[01:57:37] don't like politicians. I don't like
[01:57:39] parties. I like principle. Do not go
[01:57:41] quietly when truth is on the line. I
[01:57:44] >> mean, democratic socialism, you know,
[01:57:46] the people's social, it's socialism,
[01:57:48] which inherently means the following. It
[01:57:50] is immoral. It is evil. It is
[01:57:52] impractical in put in practice.
[01:57:53] >> Do not surrender to the shadows.
[01:57:57] But I'm here for the silent majority
[01:57:59] that is silent no longer to give them
[01:58:01] the courage, confidence, and conviction
[01:58:03] to fight on campuses.
[01:58:06] >> Even when and especially if
[01:58:11] you think the battle can no longer be
[01:58:13] won.
[01:58:14] >> We're not going to allow the ruling
[01:58:16] class elites, the radical left to
[01:58:18] continue to destroy this country from
[01:58:20] within. And we are a movement here that
[01:58:22] is growing by leaps and bounds. Charlie
[01:58:24] Kirk lived that mandate
[01:58:27] >> and I believe that marriage is a
[01:58:28] beautiful thing and I believe that
[01:58:30] having children is a moral good for
[01:58:31] society.
[01:58:32] >> Biggest blessing.
[01:58:32] >> Oh, without a doubt.
[01:58:33] >> I don't think you know the impact. You
[01:58:36] say, "Oh, Glenn, you made an impact on
[01:58:38] my life." Do you realize the impact
[01:58:41] you're having on the country? Remember
[01:58:43] when I did the thing in Washington DC
[01:58:44] and restoring honor?
[01:58:46] >> I do. And I said, "Somewhere in this
[01:58:48] crowd, maybe he's seven, maybe he's 15,
[01:58:53] somewhere in this crowd is the next
[01:58:55] George Washington."
[01:58:56] >> And 25 years from now,
[01:59:00] he will come not to this stair, but to
[01:59:03] those stairs.
[01:59:04] >> We want to overemphasize grace when in
[01:59:07] reality, Christ loves us too much
[01:59:11] >> to have us continue to live in sin. He
[01:59:13] wants us to try to elevate our actions
[01:59:15] to glorify God in all that we do.
[01:59:20] >> And he can proclaim, "I have a new
[01:59:24] dream."
[01:59:25] >> I just went to church for the first time
[01:59:27] in several years.
[01:59:29] >> Today, we went to church for the first
[01:59:31] time in a really long time.
[01:59:33] >> I've never ever opened a Bible before
[01:59:36] and something was calling me to my
[01:59:38] husband's Bible.
[01:59:39] >> Here's the line for the second service.
[01:59:41] And there's never a line.
[01:59:43] Jesus of Nazareth. And the resurrection
[01:59:45] is the is the pinpoint of my belief that
[01:59:48] Jesus did rise from the grave so that we
[01:59:50] may live. The light is dimming, yes,
[01:59:55] but it always does before the dawn.
