[00:13:56] At Turning Point USA, we say that
[00:13:57] chapters change the world.
[00:14:15] We are Americans and we are going to
[00:14:18] win.
[00:14:30] Rumble, which you and I really care
[00:14:31] about, is ascending. I think there's
[00:14:34] some chatter already in Silicon Valley
[00:14:35] of what are we going to do about these
[00:14:36] Rumble guys?
[00:14:38] >> Charlie was one of the few that really
[00:14:40] did it for for the purpose of forwarding
[00:14:44] free speech. The actual idea of like
[00:14:46] doing something great for America.
[00:14:52] The Charlie Kirk show is not going
[00:14:54] anywhere. My husband's voice will live
[00:14:57] on.
[00:14:58] We will never be silenced.
[00:15:16] >> Do you want to change the country? We
[00:15:18] are Turning Point for USA's national
[00:15:20] field program
[00:15:21] >> and we're hiring.
[00:15:22] >> Are you looking for a challenging
[00:15:23] career?
[00:15:24] >> Something you can grow with in an ever
[00:15:26] changing world.
[00:15:26] >> Look, this isn't just a job. It's a
[00:15:29] journey of development with the
[00:15:30] mentorship to guide you through.
[00:15:32] >> Join an organization where your warrior
[00:15:34] spirit isn't just welcome, it's
[00:15:36] essential.
[00:15:36] >> The one thing we can promise you is that
[00:15:38] this is a career that will never get
[00:15:39] boring. Just ask our biggest fans.
[00:15:42] >> So, what does the field program do?
[00:15:43] >> We are recruiting the next generation of
[00:15:45] American conservative leaders. We give
[00:15:47] high school and college students the
[00:15:49] necessary resources to start successful
[00:15:51] chapters.
[00:15:52] >> We are the boots in the ground doing the
[00:15:54] hard work no one else will attempt.
[00:15:56] Whether that's deep in the south or all
[00:15:58] the way in California.
[00:15:59] >> We plan to host thousands of chapter
[00:16:01] events across the nation.
[00:16:03] >> Many of our staff in leadership
[00:16:04] positions were former chapter leaders
[00:16:06] and alumni of Turning Point USA.
[00:16:08] >> We mentor passionate young conservatives
[00:16:10] who love their country. Join us
[00:16:12] >> late to bed, early to rise,
[00:16:14] >> work like hell, and organize.
[00:16:23] >> We're we're active in about 15 campuses
[00:16:25] and we're growing very very quickly. And
[00:16:27] keep in mind, this is not just a flash
[00:16:28] in the pan movement. Uh we're going to
[00:16:29] become an institution to give them the
[00:16:32] power and the confidence to stand up and
[00:16:33] let their voice be heard.
[00:16:35] >> When I first started this, I was 18. No
[00:16:38] idea what I was doing. No connections,
[00:16:40] no money, unlimited energy, enthusiasm,
[00:16:43] and I actually thought this was
[00:16:44] possible, which was kind of crazy you
[00:16:47] think about it. Only in America would an
[00:16:49] 18-year-old with no idea what he was
[00:16:52] doing, literally no idea, be able to
[00:16:53] walk the halls of the Republican
[00:16:54] National Convention give out business
[00:16:57] cards to every human being that I made
[00:16:59] on a little topographical printer say
[00:17:01] our we are losing our country. Young
[00:17:04] people are the answer. We need to do
[00:17:05] more on college campuses.
[00:17:08] I want our Turning Point USA students to
[00:17:10] receive a round of applause. These are
[00:17:12] the freedom fighters of America. This is
[00:17:14] the greatest generational realignment
[00:17:17] since Woodstock. What they're doing is
[00:17:19] one of the hardest things to do in the
[00:17:20] United States of America. They are
[00:17:22] deciding to be less popular on campus.
[00:17:25] They are deciding to actually speak out
[00:17:28] with a high social cost. They're
[00:17:30] deciding, even though it might
[00:17:31] jeopardize their job, their career, or
[00:17:34] their reputation, to put their country
[00:17:36] over themselves.
[00:17:37] >> I used to be a Bernie Sanders supporter.
[00:17:40] It was one of your video that really
[00:17:42] woke me up. And then you're an
[00:17:44] inspiration. Awesome. Thank you.
[00:17:45] >> You are why I do what I do.
[00:17:47] >> So, which way you leaning? Can
[00:17:49] >> I get ahead?
[00:17:51] >> That's a good answer.
[00:17:53] >> Be welcoming. Even if people have
[00:17:55] different viewpoints, be open. You guys
[00:17:57] on the front line starting Turning Point
[00:17:58] USA high school.
[00:18:00] Starting Turning Point USA College
[00:18:01] chapters. You are on the front lines of
[00:18:03] saving this country. And you look
[00:18:05] around, our numbers are increasing. We
[00:18:07] are happier. We are joyful. We love the
[00:18:09] nation. College campuses should be a
[00:18:11] marketplace of ideas where you can have
[00:18:13] debate and dialogue and discussion where
[00:18:15] you can hear something that is different
[00:18:16] than the point of view that you're
[00:18:18] entering with.
[00:18:19] >> Every day you get to fight for what is
[00:18:20] good and what is true and beautiful. You
[00:18:22] are doing something that is bigger than
[00:18:24] you.
[00:18:26] >> Turning point will live longer than me.
[00:18:28] That's my mission.
[00:18:49] Hi folks, you may be hearing a lot about
[00:18:51] Y refi these days.
[00:18:53] >> Student loans are now sitting at $1.8
[00:18:56] trillion.
[00:18:58] >> You need to talk to Yi and they don't
[00:19:00] care what your credit score is.
[00:19:01] >> My partner and I created this company
[00:19:03] with the intention of taking it to help
[00:19:04] borrowers get out of debt. Y Refi is the
[00:19:07] only company in the country that does
[00:19:08] what we do.
[00:19:08] >> I think very highly Y refi. We're all in
[00:19:10] with them.
[00:19:11] >> We invited God into our homes. We invite
[00:19:13] him into our company. We want to make it
[00:19:14] an incentive for you to want to work
[00:19:16] with Y Refi. We give these folks the
[00:19:18] dignity to pay back their debt.
[00:19:21] >> Please welcome the chief investment
[00:19:23] officer and managing partner of Yi,
[00:19:26] Laneburgger.
[00:19:31] [Music]
[00:19:37] Wow, what a crowd. Good evening for
[00:19:39] everyone. Thank you for being here. What
[00:19:42] an incredible energy in this room. I
[00:19:44] just Can you feel it? You know, the
[00:19:46] Charlie Kirk energy. Can you feel it?
[00:19:49] Thank you. I can feel it. I'll tell you,
[00:19:51] it's an honor to be here among so many
[00:19:53] driven, passionate young Americans who
[00:19:56] believe in the opportunity and of
[00:19:58] personal responsibility and freedom. My
[00:20:02] name is Lane Shamberger. I'm the chief
[00:20:03] investment officer and founding partner
[00:20:04] of Y Refi. And we're so proud to be here
[00:20:10] sponsoring this tour for so many
[00:20:12] reasons. Um at YFI, our mission is
[00:20:15] simple yet powerful. We help people find
[00:20:17] a way out of what is clearly one of the
[00:20:21] most crushing forms of debt in America,
[00:20:23] student loan debt. So, let's be honest
[00:20:25] for a second. Student loan debt is one
[00:20:28] of the biggest financial challenges our
[00:20:30] nation faces. I don't know if you all
[00:20:32] realize or not, but student loan debt in
[00:20:33] this country, as you saw in the video,
[00:20:35] $1.8 trillion. That exceeds auto loan
[00:20:37] debt in this country. That exceeds
[00:20:40] credit card debt in this country. It
[00:20:42] nearly is the size of Canada's entire
[00:20:44] GDP. That's pretty big. It affects
[00:20:49] finances, families, futures, and
[00:20:53] freedom.
[00:20:54] What we do is we turn that burden into a
[00:20:56] breakthrough. So,
[00:20:59] it
[00:21:01] what we do at WI is we refinance your
[00:21:03] distressed private student loans. Okay?
[00:21:06] We don't chase people down. Our goal is
[00:21:07] not to make you feel bad and miserable.
[00:21:11] We're here to offer you a manageable,
[00:21:13] sustainable way to get out of debt. We
[00:21:16] believe in second chances. We believe in
[00:21:18] accountability
[00:21:19] and we believe in doing what no other
[00:21:21] company has done before, which is to
[00:21:23] help borrowers succeed quickly by
[00:21:25] getting your student loans out of debt,
[00:21:27] getting you out of your debt with your
[00:21:28] student loans with dignity and pushing
[00:21:30] out no more predatory loans. That's got
[00:21:33] to stop. Predatory loans is the
[00:21:35] government. We we don't want that
[00:21:36] anymore.
[00:21:39] So, I want to speak directly to the
[00:21:40] students and young leaders here today.
[00:21:42] Many of you are dreaming big and you
[00:21:44] should. You're building your future,
[00:21:47] investing in yourselves, stepping into a
[00:21:49] world with passion and purpose. However,
[00:21:52] also I also know that many of you young
[00:21:54] folks, those dreams come with a big
[00:21:56] price tag that can follow you for
[00:21:59] decades. At YI, we see those stories
[00:22:02] every single day. Bright, young,
[00:22:04] capable, hardworking individuals who did
[00:22:06] everything right. They went to school.
[00:22:08] They tried to build the the better life.
[00:22:10] And yet, they found themselves trapped
[00:22:12] under the weight of crippling student
[00:22:14] loan debt. And here's what I would like
[00:22:16] you to know. That debt does not define
[00:22:19] you. Don't let it define you.
[00:22:22] It does not erase your potential.
[00:22:26] It does not have to dictate your future.
[00:22:30] We built YIFI because we believe you
[00:22:31] deserve a second chance and a real path
[00:22:33] forward. Our work isn't just about the
[00:22:35] numbers and interest rates. It's about
[00:22:37] restoring hope. It's about saying you
[00:22:41] are more than your student loan balance.
[00:22:45] You are worth believing in. So whether
[00:22:48] you need help or not, and I hope you
[00:22:50] never need our services because that
[00:22:51] means you're in trouble. Okay? I'm being
[00:22:53] straight with you. I want you to carry
[00:22:55] this with you. Never let debt steal your
[00:23:00] drive.
[00:23:03] Never
[00:23:04] let
[00:23:06] a setback silence you. There's always a
[00:23:09] way forward and there's people like us
[00:23:11] who believe in you. Now, I'd like to
[00:23:14] direct my attention to the capitalists
[00:23:16] out there who are looking for investment
[00:23:18] opportunities while also making a
[00:23:19] positive impact. Our motto says it all.
[00:23:22] Do well by doing good. to do the amazing
[00:23:26] work that we do at YFI. We raise our
[00:23:28] capital from accredited investors who
[00:23:31] share our values and our mission helping
[00:23:32] people give get back on their feet to
[00:23:35] reclaim control over their financial
[00:23:36] lives. At YIFI, we're helping borrowers
[00:23:40] succeed while allowing investors to
[00:23:41] prosper. Together, we are proving that
[00:23:44] integrity, compassion, and capitalism
[00:23:47] can actually coexist. Go figure. It can
[00:23:50] actually coexist in this country. Before
[00:23:52] I close, I'd like to take a moment to
[00:23:54] honor someone whose vision and belief in
[00:23:55] Y Rei have meant the world to us. And I
[00:23:58] have to read this because I'm just going
[00:23:59] to tell you it'll it'll it chokes me up
[00:24:02] when I think about Mr. Kirk.
[00:24:06] He's a person I was fortunate
[00:24:10] I was fortunate enough and proud to call
[00:24:12] a friend, Mr. Charlie Kirk. Charlie
[00:24:16] understood what Wyi stands for. He
[00:24:17] believed in our mission, our approach,
[00:24:19] and the impact we make. His support
[00:24:22] inspired us every day to keep pushing
[00:24:23] forward, keep fighting for the idea that
[00:24:25] everyone deserves a path to redemption
[00:24:27] and prosperity.
[00:24:29] So Charlie, thank you for believing in
[00:24:31] Yi. And to everyone here at Turning
[00:24:33] Point and back at home, thank you for
[00:24:35] believing in America, in freedom, and
[00:24:38] for giving the microphone back to those
[00:24:40] truthtellers.
[00:24:43] At Yi, we provide we prove every day
[00:24:46] that you can do well by doing good. And
[00:24:49] together we can transform lives, rebuild
[00:24:51] trust, and help you find your turning
[00:24:55] point.
[00:24:57] I'll end this by saying, God bless
[00:24:59] America.
[00:25:01] God bless Turning Point. God bless. And
[00:25:04] God bless each one of you. You ready to
[00:25:06] get this party started?

[00:29:43] Turning Point Tonight show. Uh but most
[00:29:45] importantly, especially in this context,
[00:29:48] for the last three years, I had the
[00:29:49] honor and privilege of opening and being
[00:29:52] the opening act and touring the country
[00:29:54] with my friend Charlie Kirk. Um
[00:29:58] this is my first tour back. Uh and I'll
[00:30:02] be completely frank with you guys. I I
[00:30:04] talked to just about everybody here who
[00:30:06] has worked on this tour for as long as I
[00:30:09] have, if not longer than that. And
[00:30:12] there's no real good term here that I
[00:30:15] was able to tell them what it's like
[00:30:18] the fact that
[00:30:20] I'm not making stupid jokes and
[00:30:22] Charlie's not coming on after me. And
[00:30:25] the only thing I can come up with is it
[00:30:27] just sucks.
[00:30:28] It just sucks.
[00:30:31] But you know what? Each and every one of
[00:30:33] the Turning Point staff told me, "Yeah,
[00:30:36] it does." But look around. Look at each
[00:30:40] and every one of you here that Charlie
[00:30:42] impacted. Yes.
[00:30:44] [Music]
[00:30:45] [Applause]
[00:30:54] >> In trying to figure out what to say
[00:30:55] here, I I think I wanted to tell a
[00:30:58] couple stories about my friend Charlie.
[00:31:00] And I hope that this kind of illuminates
[00:31:02] the kind of guy that he was, what he was
[00:31:03] attempting to do and did do in the
[00:31:06] conservative movement. I think it best
[00:31:08] starts out with how I got wrapped up
[00:31:10] into this turning point bubble. I a
[00:31:13] couple years ago started filming
[00:31:16] ridiculous videos in my garage. I was a
[00:31:18] conservative guy and I was making a
[00:31:20] bunch of videos about uh I hate paying
[00:31:23] taxes, I hate the government,
[00:31:26] and I hate paying taxes.
[00:31:28] >> Yeah.
[00:31:30] It was it was pretty much those three
[00:31:32] things. And I posted them online, never
[00:31:35] really thinking anything of it. And a
[00:31:37] couple months later, I got an email from
[00:31:39] TurningPoint saying, "Hey, we'd love to
[00:31:41] have you on the Turning Point live TV
[00:31:44] show. They did a it was called TP USA
[00:31:46] live." And they said, "We'd love to have
[00:31:48] you out to Phoenix." So, this at this
[00:31:50] point in time was I I was not in the
[00:31:52] conservative movement really. I thought
[00:31:53] this was a great opportunity. So, I
[00:31:55] decided to go to Phoenix. I did a couple
[00:31:57] episodes of the show and for whatever
[00:32:00] reason TurningPoint and Charlie decided,
[00:32:03] hey, would you like to become a
[00:32:05] contributor here at TurningPoint USA?
[00:32:07] And again, coming from not this industry
[00:32:10] at all, this is not what I did. I
[00:32:12] thought, yeah, this this would be a
[00:32:13] great opportunity. And so I did it. I
[00:32:15] became a contributor at Turning Point
[00:32:17] USA. Fast forward a couple months. Uh we
[00:32:21] were in Dallas, Texas at the Young
[00:32:23] Women's Leadership Summit. Anybody here
[00:32:25] was at YWLS?
[00:32:28] It's a travel. It's a It's a distance.
[00:32:32] What I have done in the past though is a
[00:32:33] bunch of people cheer and then I wonder
[00:32:35] why the men are cheering
[00:32:38] and then it's also weird because I'm
[00:32:40] about to tell you why I was there. Uh,
[00:32:43] it's not what you think.
[00:32:45] So, we're at our Young Women's
[00:32:47] Leadership Summit, and
[00:32:49] the keynote address for that event was
[00:32:52] going to be a conversation between
[00:32:54] Charlie Kirk and Matt Walsh. We're all
[00:32:56] fans of Matt Walsh.
[00:32:58] >> Yes.
[00:33:02] So, at this point in time, this is at
[00:33:04] like the height of Matt's What is a
[00:33:06] woman documentary. He's touring the
[00:33:08] country asking the most difficult
[00:33:10] questions.
[00:33:12] what is a woman?
[00:33:17] And so I think he was I think he had an
[00:33:19] event earlier in the day. The keynote
[00:33:21] address was supposed to start about 7
[00:33:23] p.m. And around 6:40, one of the
[00:33:25] producers at Turning Point uh comes over
[00:33:27] and finds me and says, "Hey, uh Charlie
[00:33:29] wants to talk to you backstage." So I I
[00:33:31] go backstage and and at this point in
[00:33:33] time, you know, I've been working at
[00:33:35] Turning Point for a little bit. I've had
[00:33:37] my runins with Charlie, but I don't
[00:33:38] really know him all that well. uh you
[00:33:41] know, he's a busy guy. I have no idea
[00:33:43] what I'm doing. So, we aren't really
[00:33:45] like friends necessarily.
[00:33:47] I go backstage and Charlie says, "Uh,
[00:33:50] you're a comedian, right?" Uh, and I
[00:33:52] said, "Uh, yes." Now, some context here.
[00:33:56] I had done standup comedy for five, six
[00:33:59] years, but I was really just doing open
[00:34:01] mics. To call myself an established
[00:34:04] comedian at this point in time would be
[00:34:07] a fantastic exaggeration.
[00:34:10] But uh I confidently said, "Yes, I am a
[00:34:13] comedian."
[00:34:16] And he said, "Great. Matt's running
[00:34:18] about an hour late. Can you go on stage
[00:34:25] and stall for time?"
[00:34:29] I said, "Yes." Now,
[00:34:34] I thought I had some pretty good
[00:34:36] composure there, but look, I I I was a
[00:34:40] comedian at that point in time in the
[00:34:42] same way that like Joe Biden was a
[00:34:44] president, right? It it's like
[00:34:48] like like
[00:34:56] in theory I was a comedian.
[00:35:01] But the most people I think I performed
[00:35:03] in front of at that point was maybe 40
[00:35:05] people. And that might be overstating
[00:35:07] it. And now I'm sitting in front of
[00:35:09] Charlie Kirk himself saying, "Hey,
[00:35:11] there's 2500 people out there. I know
[00:35:14] you're not Matt Walsh who they're
[00:35:16] expecting.
[00:35:18] Please go entertain them."
[00:35:21] Now again, like I said, I I tried to
[00:35:23] keep my composure, but Charlie must have
[00:35:26] seen something because after that, he
[00:35:28] just looked at me and said, "I believe
[00:35:31] in you."
[00:35:33] He had no reason to believe in me.
[00:35:38] Because he didn't really know who I was.
[00:35:39] I think he had heard that I was a
[00:35:41] comedian. At the end of the day, that
[00:35:44] really stuck with me. It ended up going
[00:35:46] well. And a couple weeks later, Charlie
[00:35:48] asked, "Hey, you know, the comedy was
[00:35:50] okay. Okay, it was pretty good. Do you
[00:35:51] want to come on tour and do this stuff
[00:35:52] at college campuses and open for me? And
[00:35:54] I said yes. And every single time there
[00:35:57] was an opportunity that Charlie
[00:35:58] presented with me. My mind always went
[00:36:01] back to that one moment where he very
[00:36:03] simply said, I believe in you. And like
[00:36:06] I said, there was no reason for him to
[00:36:08] do that. In reality, what I think was
[00:36:11] happening is indicative of who he was as
[00:36:14] a person. He didn't know what I was
[00:36:16] doing. He didn't know what I was going
[00:36:17] to say. He didn't know about my comedic
[00:36:20] history or lack thereof.
[00:36:23] He simply believed in me because I was a
[00:36:25] part of the conservative movement. And
[00:36:27] so because of that, I can confidently
[00:36:29] say
[00:36:31] to all of you here that whatever your
[00:36:34] role in the conservative movement is,
[00:36:36] Charlie also believed in you.
[00:36:41] Doesn't matter if you're running a super
[00:36:44] small chapter on a campus. Charlie Kirk
[00:36:46] believed in you. It doesn't matter if
[00:36:48] you're fighting with your administration
[00:36:50] because they can't get college or
[00:36:51] chapters on their specific campus.
[00:36:53] Charlie Kirk believed in you. No matter
[00:36:55] how big or small your job was in the
[00:36:58] conservative movement, Charlie Kirk
[00:37:00] believed in you. Yes.
[00:37:04] [Applause]
[00:37:12] because that was who he was.
[00:37:15] Now, I have another story and uh this
[00:37:17] one's a little bit more whimsical.
[00:37:20] It also might get me in trouble a little
[00:37:21] bit, but we're going to risk it. Uh so,
[00:37:24] I at Turning Point, I'm I'm the
[00:37:27] comedian, the in-house smartass,
[00:37:31] and that comes with some substantial
[00:37:35] liability. uh from the higherups. Uh
[00:37:38] meaning that, you know, if you're going
[00:37:39] to do comedy correctly, you're going to
[00:37:41] have to push some boundaries a little
[00:37:42] bit. And that just kind of comes
[00:37:44] innately to me. I think of everything in
[00:37:46] terms of jokes. Like for my own
[00:37:48] amusement, sometimes I'll go on
[00:37:50] Instagram and type in the hashtaglgq
[00:37:58] and I'll I'll scroll down and I'll find
[00:38:00] a photo and I'll comment that's gay.
[00:38:10] just because I think it's funny. See,
[00:38:13] and then and then people will comment
[00:38:14] back, "That is so offensive." And I say,
[00:38:16] "I'm stating a fact."
[00:38:20] And then and then they'll get really
[00:38:22] really upset. They'll be like, "There's
[00:38:24] nothing gay about this photo." And I'll
[00:38:27] comment back, "Sure there is. It's a
[00:38:29] picture of NDSU.
[00:38:31] [Applause]
[00:38:56] Look, hey, I I get it. Uh, usually the
[00:38:59] rival schools are further driving
[00:39:01] distance, but I recognize
[00:39:05] that some of you might have made the
[00:39:06] trek up from Fargo. So, just know just
[00:39:09] know that everybody here because you're
[00:39:11] part of the conservative movement, it
[00:39:13] doesn't matter that you're a part of the
[00:39:14] LGBT NDSU.
[00:39:19] [Applause]
[00:39:21] We love you just the same.
[00:39:31] So that's the kind of menace I am.
[00:39:36] And so there's a lot of times where I've
[00:39:38] like I like to make jokes. And again,
[00:39:39] like you know, to the to the higher ups
[00:39:41] at Turning Point, I'm kind of a
[00:39:42] liability. But this one story that I
[00:39:44] want to tell you happened a couple weeks
[00:39:46] ago, very very recently. And uh well,
[00:39:50] what happened was I I recorded a video.
[00:39:52] somebody put out a ridiculous, absurd
[00:39:55] video and I was like, "That's insane. I
[00:39:57] need to record a joke to that." So, I
[00:40:00] did and I was planning on posting it
[00:40:02] later that afternoon. But before that, I
[00:40:04] sent it to a producer at Turning Point
[00:40:06] who I knew would love the joke, but I
[00:40:08] also knew that he didn't have social
[00:40:09] media, so he wouldn't see the joke. Uh,
[00:40:12] a couple minutes later, he texted me
[00:40:14] back, "Bro, that's hilarious." Also,
[00:40:17] hold off on that.
[00:40:20] I gota I got to make sure that's okay.
[00:40:23] Turns out he sent it to his boss. His
[00:40:25] boss sent it to their boss. Their boss
[00:40:27] sent it to their boss. And ultimately it
[00:40:30] got to Charlie.
[00:40:33] This ridiculous joke that I didn't think
[00:40:34] anything of made it all the way to the
[00:40:37] top.
[00:40:39] I'll tell you what the joke is.
[00:40:42] Okay. So, we all remember the American
[00:40:45] Eagle debacle with Sydney Sweeney. Yes.
[00:40:51] Yeah, the libs put us in a very
[00:40:53] challenging position of having to defend
[00:40:56] that Sydney Sweeney is hot.
[00:41:03] It took some skill, grit, and
[00:41:05] heterosexual males with two eyes
[00:41:09] to prove that point.
[00:41:12] But of course, that was a crazy
[00:41:14] scenario, right? Uh, so the Sydney
[00:41:17] Sweeney thing happens and you see all
[00:41:18] these types of videos. They're fascists.
[00:41:21] They're Nazis
[00:41:23] because she's hot. They're white
[00:41:25] supremacists. We all remember this. But
[00:41:28] there was one video in particular that I
[00:41:30] thought was so egregious and absurd, I
[00:41:33] couldn't help but mock it. It was this
[00:41:36] picture. It was this video of this this
[00:41:38] girl who happened to be black. And the
[00:41:41] person filming the video, she was
[00:41:42] outside of an American Eagle, said,
[00:41:43] "Hey, do you want to go in that store?"
[00:41:45] And she turned around and said, "I can't
[00:41:47] go in American Eagle because I'm black."
[00:41:53] It's an absurd thing to say. So, I
[00:41:55] responded with equal absurdity.
[00:41:58] I actually think she's right. I don't
[00:42:00] think American Eagle accepts EBT.
[00:42:06] [Applause]
[00:42:08] Now, now
[00:42:17] clearly,
[00:42:19] clearly this is a joke. We all
[00:42:23] understand this. And by the way, what
[00:42:25] she said was worse.
[00:42:31] So that was the joke that made it all
[00:42:33] the way to Charlie. and he texted back,
[00:42:37] "Do it."
[00:42:50] See, and it gets even a little bit
[00:42:51] further than that because, you know, I I
[00:42:53] totally get it. There's people that are
[00:42:54] trying to protect the brand and so some
[00:42:57] of the higherups said, "Hey, we're going
[00:42:59] to post that. We're going to allow you
[00:43:00] to post that, but um can we add a
[00:43:02] disclaimer to it?" I was like, "A
[00:43:04] disclaimer?" And they're like, "Yeah, we
[00:43:05] want to make sure that everybody knows
[00:43:06] it's a joke." I'm like, "It's clearly a
[00:43:08] joke." Like, "Yeah, but we got to have a
[00:43:10] disclaimer." And I texted back, "That's
[00:43:13] gay." I
[00:43:18] uh
[00:43:20] but but seriously, I didn't want a
[00:43:21] disclaimer because I like this is
[00:43:23] clearly a joke. And again, what she said
[00:43:25] was way worse than what I said. So, I
[00:43:27] had a better idea.
[00:43:29] I put my own disclaimer. I sent it in
[00:43:31] for approval that said, uh, disclaimer,
[00:43:35] Charlie Kirk himself wrote this joke,
[00:43:39] but he made me say it because I'm a
[00:43:41] brown
[00:43:45] [Applause]
[00:43:54] and Charlie texted back, "Perfect.
[00:44:02] Now, this highlights, I think, two
[00:44:05] things that are very important. One is
[00:44:08] that we are all aware of the ridiculous
[00:44:10] slander that has come to Charlie Kirk,
[00:44:12] especially in the last couple weeks.
[00:44:14] It's insane. It's untrue. It is absurd.
[00:44:18] But I think this highlights how absurd
[00:44:21] it actually is. In the world of comedy,
[00:44:25] I've noticed that comedians only stray
[00:44:28] from jokes if they're afraid that it
[00:44:31] might expose a truth within them. Let me
[00:44:34] rephrase that. A person
[00:44:37] who is unafraid of being slandered is
[00:44:41] only unafraid because they know what
[00:44:43] they believe. Yes.
[00:44:47] Only a person who is afraid of slander
[00:44:51] or the person that is afraid of slander
[00:44:53] is is afraid of it because they're
[00:44:55] worried that well maybe some of these
[00:44:58] accusations might be true.
[00:45:00] Charlie was not that way at all. Only a
[00:45:03] person who is confident in what they
[00:45:06] believe. And by the way, Charlie didn't
[00:45:07] believe in race at all but was forced to
[00:45:09] talk about it because the libs can't let
[00:45:11] it go.
[00:45:21] But only somebody who is confident in
[00:45:23] what they believe lets a guy like me
[00:45:25] pull the trigger on that one.
[00:45:29] The second thing is that it
[00:45:31] re-emphasized
[00:45:32] Charlie's understanding of the
[00:45:34] conservative movement. Right? We've all
[00:45:37] seen Charlie's debates, saw him go
[00:45:39] toe-to-toe with really the best of the
[00:45:41] best and also college kids.
[00:45:48] And there's there's definitely something
[00:45:52] that brings people to the conservative
[00:45:53] side of the aisle through logic and
[00:45:55] reason and debate. But Charlie
[00:45:57] understood that th those weren't the
[00:45:59] only things that brought people to the
[00:46:01] conservative side of the aisle. It took
[00:46:04] other things like comedy, like music,
[00:46:07] like entertainment, like arts,
[00:46:10] all different sorts of factions would
[00:46:12] come together to build the conservative
[00:46:14] coalition. And that's what Charlie
[00:46:15] understood better than anyone else.
[00:46:19] He brought me on tour specifically
[00:46:22] because quite honestly, he made some
[00:46:24] funny jokes, but uh people weren't
[00:46:27] really expecting jokes to come out of a
[00:46:29] guy like Charlie. so that uh right over
[00:46:32] their head
[00:46:34] specifically. I remember we were at
[00:46:35] Berkeley and he made a joke uh yeah try
[00:46:38] being a trans person in the Middle East.
[00:46:39] They'll give you a flying lesson off the
[00:46:41] nearest roof.
[00:46:46] Nobody laughed
[00:46:49] cuz they weren't expecting him to be
[00:46:51] funny.
[00:46:53] But here's the thing. Charlie recognized
[00:46:54] however important he was to the
[00:46:56] movement, he knew that other facets were
[00:46:59] necessary in order to build a
[00:47:01] conservative coalition. And so with
[00:47:03] that, I want to leave you with this.
[00:47:06] In the three years where I was touring
[00:47:07] the country with Charlie, there would be
[00:47:10] so many instances where people would
[00:47:13] come up and students specifically would
[00:47:15] come up and say, "How do I get involved
[00:47:16] in turning? How do I get to do what what
[00:47:18] it is that you do?" I say, "First of
[00:47:20] all, God-given talent." Uh, I'm kidding.
[00:47:23] No. Uh, they'd say, 'How do I get
[00:47:26] involved? And I say, okay, well, what is
[00:47:28] it that you want to do specifically? And
[00:47:29] they would say, I want to be the next
[00:47:31] Charlie Kirk.
[00:47:34] And I understand the sentiment, but I
[00:47:37] think Charlie himself would phrase it
[00:47:39] just a little bit differently. It's
[00:47:41] great to be admired. It's an honor to
[00:47:43] want to live up to somebody like
[00:47:45] Charlie. But I think he himself would
[00:47:48] say
[00:47:50] rather than being a version of someone
[00:47:52] else instead become the best version of
[00:47:56] you that you can be. Yes.
[00:48:05] It doesn't matter if you're an artist,
[00:48:08] be the best version of you that you can
[00:48:10] be. If you're a musician, be the best
[00:48:12] version of you that you can be. If
[00:48:14] you're a biologist, you're not going to
[00:48:16] be on the Supreme Court. But be the best
[00:48:19] be the best version of yourself that you
[00:48:21] can be. Can we all agree here tonight,
[00:48:23] North Dakota, that we will be the best
[00:48:26] version of ourselves in honor of Charlie
[00:48:28] Kirk?
[00:48:40] So guys, thank you so much
[00:48:44] Uh, it honestly has been cathartic being
[00:48:47] here with you. Um, I'm so excited to see
[00:48:50] the movement that Charlie started and
[00:48:53] put his blood, sweat, and tears into
[00:48:54] grow to the expanse that it has. Just
[00:48:57] don't let that fervor die. And if I can
[00:49:00] ask you these last three things, it
[00:49:02] would be this. Never stop fighting for
[00:49:05] truth. Yes.
[00:49:07] >> Never stop fighting for freedom. Yes.
[00:49:11] and never stop fighting for this
[00:49:13] country.
[00:49:15] >> Yeah,
[00:49:18] >> North Dakota, thank you guys so much.
[00:49:21] Really appreciate you.
[00:49:25] >> Thank you. Thank you guys. Have a great
[00:49:28] night. Thank you.
[00:49:33] >> Who are you?
[00:49:33] >> My name is Charlie Kirk and I love
[00:49:35] America
[00:49:36] >> because I love talking with people I
[00:49:38] disagree with. What have you done for
[00:49:39] the country?
[00:49:39] >> Started an organization that's now on a
[00:49:41] thousand plus campuses to save the
[00:49:43] greatest culture and country ever to
[00:49:44] exist.
[00:49:44] >> Our family's divided. We're divided the
[00:49:47] same way the nation is divided. Will
[00:49:49] anything ever be remedied? A nation
[00:49:51] divided against itself will not stand.
[00:49:53] Neither will a family divided against
[00:49:54] itself.
[00:49:55] >> Why do you think your son is
[00:49:56] conservative? You as a father should
[00:49:58] listen to your son. I used to be at one
[00:50:00] point on my father's side. Upon doing my
[00:50:02] own research and seeing things
[00:50:03] firsthand, I've switched sides. We talk
[00:50:06] every day about politics to the point
[00:50:07] where it's divided us.
[00:50:08] >> Father son divide is more important than
[00:50:10] politics. Really try to come down at
[00:50:12] what generational perspective do they
[00:50:14] have. Never let politics get in the way
[00:50:16] of the beautiful relationship between
[00:50:18] father and son.
[00:50:19] >> And my question for you is do you have
[00:50:21] any hate against the LGBT community?
[00:50:25] >> How could I hate that which I have a
[00:50:27] heart for? I might not agree at that for
[00:50:28] some of the lifestyle choices that some
[00:50:30] people make, but of course not. And if
[00:50:32] someone said, Charlie, what's your view
[00:50:34] on marriage? I say I believe marriage
[00:50:35] has been one man and one woman. Do I
[00:50:37] have hate in my heart for somebody that
[00:50:38] doesn't choose the lifestyle that I
[00:50:40] believe that God laid out in the
[00:50:41] scriptures? Of course not.
[00:50:44] >> What's this full?
[00:50:45] >> I go around universities and have
[00:50:47] challenging conversations because that's
[00:50:49] what is so important to our country is
[00:50:52] to find our disagreements respectfully
[00:50:55] because when people stop talking that's
[00:50:56] when violence happens.
[00:50:58] >> You could see that happen all across the
[00:51:00] world.
[00:51:01] >> What motivated from that view? What?
[00:51:03] Because I I love talking to people I
[00:51:06] disagree with. When people stop talking,
[00:51:07] that's when you get violent. That's when
[00:51:09] civil war happens because you start to
[00:51:11] think the other side is so evil and they
[00:51:12] lose their humanity.
[00:51:13] >> First, I just want to say I don't agree
[00:51:15] with you on a lot of stuff, but I I
[00:51:17] really respect, not I think you don't
[00:51:18] agree with me on a lot of stuff, but I
[00:51:19] really respect that you'll have a
[00:51:20] dialogue. I think one of the big
[00:51:21] problems in this country right now is
[00:51:22] like people can't have a dialogue and
[00:51:24] people like don't even know how to like
[00:51:26] have a dialogue and use logic and like
[00:51:28] have an actual argument like you do. So,
[00:51:29] how do we improve that as a country? How
[00:51:31] do you think we get more people that can
[00:51:33] argue like that on both sides of the
[00:51:34] aisle?
[00:51:35] >> I think this event is a great example of
[00:51:36] it, right? I think that this event is we
[00:51:38] need to have differing opinions. We need
[00:51:39] to have people that don't share the same
[00:51:41] worldview and see which one is better
[00:51:43] and try to find common bond. You should
[00:51:45] have your own discussions like this
[00:51:46] every day. You should try to model it
[00:51:48] and try to have, you know, back and
[00:51:49] forth and that's what makes the country
[00:51:51] strong and great. Civil dialogue.
[00:51:52] >> I am honored today to be joined by
[00:51:54] someone that has had a very big
[00:51:56] influence on my life. I was listening to
[00:51:59] his radio show and watching his
[00:52:02] television program after school. Uh boy,
[00:52:05] when I was in a freshman year in high
[00:52:08] school and sophomore year in high
[00:52:09] school, none other than the incredible
[00:52:11] leader Glenn Beck. Glenn, welcome to the
[00:52:13] Charlie Kirk show.
[00:52:15] >> Thank you very much, Charlie. Thank you.
[00:52:30] [Music]
[00:52:43] [Music]
[00:52:56] Well, I I want to first of all I want to
[00:52:58] thank you all for coming. Um this is I
[00:53:01] Charlie called me I don't remember when
[00:53:04] and said Glenn I want you to join me in
[00:53:06] the universities and I'm like are you
[00:53:07] insane? No I don't know I don't do that
[00:53:10] Charlie you do that. I don't do that.
[00:53:12] And uh he said no no no you don't have
[00:53:14] to. We're going to put two chairs and
[00:53:17] I'm going to sit in one and I'll take
[00:53:19] all the questions. You just teach
[00:53:20] history.
[00:53:23] Thanks Charlie.
[00:53:25] Uh
[00:53:27] uh it is uh it's I hope I have something
[00:53:31] of value to share with you today. Um I
[00:53:34] have a few things I brought there's
[00:53:36] probably about
[00:53:38] $5 million worth of artifacts on the
[00:53:40] table behind me. I want to teach you
[00:53:42] some history that you're not being
[00:53:44] taught in school. And you can argue with
[00:53:46] me all you want, but there are the
[00:53:49] documents. So how are you going to
[00:53:51] argue? make sure you bring this some of
[00:53:54] these things up in in classes. Um, I
[00:53:58] also wanted to start with some things
[00:54:00] that I have personally learned that I
[00:54:03] think uh might be helpful as you start
[00:54:06] your journey. Um, I'm a I'm an
[00:54:10] recovering alcoholic. Um, my mother died
[00:54:12] when I was 13 years old. She committed
[00:54:14] suicide. We've had three suicides in my
[00:54:17] family. Um, I contemplated suicide when
[00:54:21] I was younger. It was kind of a family
[00:54:24] thing that just made sense. Um, suicide
[00:54:27] and suicidal thoughts, if anybody has
[00:54:29] had them, uh, you are under the grip of
[00:54:32] a really powerful lie. Um, and your life
[00:54:36] is worth living. And once you conquer
[00:54:39] that demon, life just gets better and
[00:54:41] better and better.
[00:54:50] But when I was really young, I knew what
[00:54:52] I was going to do. And I I believe I
[00:54:55] heard a prompting from the Lord when I
[00:54:57] was eight. And uh the Lord said to me,
[00:55:01] "What you do in life will be a turning
[00:55:02] point."
[00:55:04] And uh uh I didn't know what that meant.
[00:55:07] I was eight years old, but I knew I was
[00:55:09] going to be in radio. So I started doing
[00:55:12] radio. I got into radio when I was about
[00:55:14] 13. Uh, and I have been doing it now for
[00:55:18] this is my 49th year of doing broadcast.
[00:55:21] Um,
[00:55:28] and because I didn't understand the Lord
[00:55:32] early on like I do now,
[00:55:36] I thought I thought I was supposed to do
[00:55:39] something great in the industry.
[00:55:44] And
[00:55:46] I was very successful very young and I
[00:55:49] made a lot of money when I was very
[00:55:51] young. And that is a very bad
[00:55:54] combination. Fame, fortune, and 20 years
[00:55:58] old. Uh, and every time I would make the
[00:56:03] next milestone, it wasn't it. It wasn't
[00:56:05] it. And I was more and more empty every
[00:56:08] step of the way until I reached my 30s
[00:56:11] and I was an alcoholic. No one would
[00:56:13] work with me because I was an angry
[00:56:16] alcoholic and I had a lot of things that
[00:56:18] I had not dealt with.
[00:56:22] So, I want to tell you some of the
[00:56:23] things that I have learned in my journey
[00:56:26] because once I fixed those things, once
[00:56:29] I dealt with those things, once I found
[00:56:32] out who I really was, not what I thought
[00:56:35] I was supposed to be, nothing else, just
[00:56:38] who I really truly was, everything
[00:56:42] changed overnight.
[00:56:45] So, let me start. I I wrote down nine
[00:56:47] things that I think are true and will
[00:56:53] shape you into the person you were born
[00:56:55] to be. Number one, question everything.
[00:57:00] Everything. Anyone who tells you don't
[00:57:03] ask that question, run from them.
[00:57:06] Question everything. Thomas Jefferson
[00:57:08] said in a letter to his uh nephew Peter
[00:57:11] Carr.
[00:57:13] Peter Carr was young. his mother had
[00:57:15] died. Then his father is uh on his
[00:57:17] deathbed and he asked Thomas Jefferson,
[00:57:19] "Thomas, you're the smartest man I know.
[00:57:21] Could you please help my son in his
[00:57:24] educational upbringing?" So when Peter
[00:57:27] became of age, he wrote him this long
[00:57:29] letter and he said, "In mathematics, you
[00:57:30] have to do this. In literature, you have
[00:57:32] to read this. You have to speak these
[00:57:33] languages. Never." I love this one.
[00:57:35] Never le read a book outside of its
[00:57:38] native language. You will miss too much.
[00:57:41] The last one was religion.
[00:57:45] And he said, 'When it comes to religion,
[00:57:47] above all things, fix reason firmly in
[00:57:51] her seat and question with boldness even
[00:57:55] the very existence of God. For if there
[00:57:58] be a God, he must surely rather honest
[00:58:02] questioning over blindfolded fear.
[00:58:06] >> Amen.
[00:58:07] >> That changed my life. That gave me
[00:58:11] permission to question everything. I no
[00:58:15] longer I no longer had to feel stupid. I
[00:58:17] never had to feel guilty for questioning
[00:58:20] God. I remember I read that and I
[00:58:22] thought, you know what, God, I don't
[00:58:24] really know you. I know you because of
[00:58:27] what I have been taught. I know you
[00:58:29] because of what everybody has told me. I
[00:58:32] know you through church. I know you
[00:58:34] through the Bible. But I don't really
[00:58:36] know you.
[00:58:37] I don't know if any of this is true.
[00:58:42] So, I'm going to question with boldness
[00:58:44] and I'm going to start here.
[00:58:47] I don't believe in you. I don't reject
[00:58:49] you. But if you are my father in heaven,
[00:58:53] you have built this entire system. So, I
[00:58:56] will find you. I I imagined if it were
[00:59:00] me and I were I'm a dad and I my
[00:59:04] children had to find me on their own to
[00:59:06] have real meaning and purpose. If I
[00:59:09] built a room and it was a round room and
[00:59:12] it didn't look like there were any doors
[00:59:13] or windows. It was just this round room
[00:59:15] all that's all they ever knew.
[00:59:18] Everything I put in that room would
[00:59:21] point to me. I would send them every
[00:59:25] possible sign I exist. I'm on the other
[00:59:28] side of this wall.
[00:59:30] So if my heavenly father exists,
[00:59:34] there's signs everywhere.
[00:59:37] Where are they? What are they?
[00:59:42] I went to I had library of a serial
[00:59:45] killer. Uh I I I probably in in a
[00:59:49] 10-year period, I think I read about
[00:59:51] 7,000 books. And I read everything.
[00:59:55] Charlie probably read more than I did.
[00:59:57] Uh, I read everything and I went into
[01:00:00] bookstores and I would look at who would
[01:00:03] disagree with each other. I put a
[01:00:06] council together. Who would be who was
[01:00:09] on the exact opposite side? Carl Sean,
[01:00:12] Pope John Paul,
[01:00:15] Alan Dersuitz, Adolf Hitler.
[01:00:19] Who is on the opposite side? And then I
[01:00:22] would read the extremes and then I would
[01:00:23] narrow it in. My father told me, you
[01:00:28] have to look at all of your knowledge.
[01:00:30] You look at it as if it's everything's a
[01:00:32] transparency and you look down through
[01:00:35] everything. Where they intersect, that's
[01:00:38] truth. Where everyone is saying the same
[01:00:41] thing, that's truth.
[01:00:44] Because they don't agree with each
[01:00:45] other, but on that one thing, they do.
[01:00:49] and then just assemble it.
[01:00:52] I will tell you the intellectual side of
[01:00:55] me. I believed in God, but that's not
[01:00:57] what that's not what changed me.
[01:01:02] It was when I mean I went to Yale for
[01:01:05] about 15 minutes. And and uh and I took
[01:01:10] early christologology. And let me tell
[01:01:12] you, if you ever want to find Christ,
[01:01:15] don't go to Yale.
[01:01:19] But I I went and I I mean I understood
[01:01:22] what early christologology is is the
[01:01:24] making of the image of Jesus Christ from
[01:01:26] about 400 BC to about 400 AD. And so I
[01:01:32] knew what I knew what everything was. I
[01:01:34] I I studied all that time period, how
[01:01:37] this was all put together. And by the
[01:01:39] time I got out of school, I was like, I
[01:01:41] don't believe any of that.
[01:01:44] Then I found a woman who wanted to marry
[01:01:47] me and she was a fabulous woman. She
[01:01:51] loved me. I honestly felt like at that
[01:01:55] time I was still struggling holding my
[01:01:57] alcoholism at bay. And um
[01:02:03] I felt like I was a black hole and she
[01:02:05] had so much light and I felt like I was
[01:02:08] stealing light from her. I could feel
[01:02:09] that light from her bend into me.
[01:02:13] And I told her that
[01:02:16] we were standing in the kitchen and I
[01:02:17] had my arms around her and she was
[01:02:18] facing out. We were looking out a window
[01:02:21] and I said, "I have to tell you
[01:02:22] something.
[01:02:24] I have to be honest. I'm stealing light
[01:02:26] from you." Without hesitation, she said,
[01:02:30] "You can't steal that which is being
[01:02:32] given." I immediately thought, I have
[01:02:35] got to marry this woman.
[01:02:37] So I proposed and she said, "No.
[01:02:43] And I'm like, "But you could have all
[01:02:46] this whenever you wanted it."
[01:02:52] So, uh, she said, "No." And I said,
[01:02:54] "Why?" And she said, "Because you don't
[01:02:56] have, we don't have faith in common." I
[01:02:57] said, "I know God. I studied God. I went
[01:02:59] to I went to Yale. I studied God."
[01:03:03] She said, "Uh-huh."
[01:03:07] She said we have to have a faith that we
[01:03:09] both can agree on that we both can come
[01:03:12] back because if we don't have God as our
[01:03:14] center nothing will hold.
[01:03:27] >> So we went on what we called the church
[01:03:29] tour. Every week we would go to a
[01:03:32] different church and I mean we went to
[01:03:34] crazy I went to synagogue one Saturday.
[01:03:37] I thought that was great because you
[01:03:38] were in on Saturday. You have Sundays
[01:03:40] free. I don't speak Hebrew so I didn't
[01:03:42] get a lot from the service but uh we
[01:03:46] went to one church. It was a
[01:03:47] congregational church. Uh halfway
[01:03:49] through the sermon and I swear to you
[01:03:51] this is true. Halfway through the
[01:03:52] sermon, the preacher said, "Now, you all
[01:03:56] know that I don't believe in God, but
[01:04:04] I looked at my wife and she said, "What
[01:04:06] did he just say?" And I said, "I think
[01:04:07] he just said, "I don't believe in God,
[01:04:10] but if there be a God, we should serve
[01:04:11] him." Oh, well, I think you should put
[01:04:14] that out on the sign in the front of the
[01:04:16] church. Our preacher, our preacher
[01:04:17] doesn't believe in God.
[01:04:23] We went to every every place and uh we
[01:04:27] finally ended up uh at a church that I
[01:04:30] swore I would never become a member of
[01:04:33] uh cuz it's a drag. Uh it's I mean we
[01:04:37] can't drink coffee. We're not supposed
[01:04:38] to swear. Don't watch rated R movies.
[01:04:42] You're supposed to be nice all the time.
[01:04:45] Uh, and uh, so there's no way I'm
[01:04:47] joining this church until I met a man
[01:04:51] who, to my shame, I called the amazing
[01:04:53] Mr. Plastic Man because he was happy all
[01:04:56] the time. Oh, I just love Jesus and he
[01:05:00] makes me and my plastic family happy.
[01:05:02] And I'm like, give it a rest, dude.
[01:05:06] First time I met him, first time I met
[01:05:08] him, walked into the church and he said,
[01:05:10] "Brother, I just love you. I'm so glad."
[01:05:12] And I I I wanted to vomit on him
[01:05:17] and I'm like, "Give it 15 minutes,
[01:05:19] that'll wear off."
[01:05:24] 6 months go by and I take I take the one
[01:05:28] thing from scripture. Prove me now.
[01:05:32] Prove me.
[01:05:34] Test me.
[01:05:37] Prove it.
[01:05:39] I invite you.
[01:05:46] I'm sitting in this lesson and here
[01:05:47] comes the amazing Mr. Plastic Man.
[01:05:51] And he's going to teach a class on this
[01:05:55] concept of Zion. What is Zion? Zion is
[01:05:58] this amazing, it's utopia. It's when we
[01:06:01] all through our love of Christ, we just
[01:06:04] all come together and and we we share
[01:06:08] and we're we're we're communist, I
[01:06:10] think,
[01:06:13] but it's all through the love of Christ
[01:06:15] and it's all through choice. And he
[01:06:17] said, "Brothers, how do we get there?"
[01:06:22] I didn't have any idea.
[01:06:25] Others had some ideas. Nothing really
[01:06:28] made sense.
[01:06:32] and then a tear went down his cheek and
[01:06:34] he said,
[01:06:37] "There's only one way.
[01:06:39] There's only one way.
[01:06:43] If I love you and you love me, I love
[01:06:45] you and you love me. I love you and you
[01:06:48] love me. We may not know each other. We
[01:06:51] may not agree with each other. We may
[01:06:54] not like each other. But we know who we
[01:06:57] are. and you are my brother, you are my
[01:07:01] sister and I love you and I will never
[01:07:04] abandon you because we have that bond.
[01:07:12] At that moment, I didn't care if I had
[01:07:13] to drink chicken blood in the basement.
[01:07:15] That's who I wanted to be.
[01:07:21] God wants you to find him. He wants you
[01:07:25] to find him. He is your father.
[01:07:39] So question everything
[01:07:43] and try try not to stop trying to win.
[01:07:47] Stop trying to win.
[01:07:50] Okay, we're not that's not why we're
[01:07:52] talking to each other. Why do we always
[01:07:54] try to win with one another? Just I got
[01:07:57] to beat you. I've got a better answer
[01:07:59] than you do. You're wrong. I know it.
[01:08:01] Try to understand people. Don't try to
[01:08:04] argue with them. Just say, "Wow,
[01:08:09] I I I don't know how you got there. Can
[01:08:12] you take me through your thinking? How
[01:08:14] did you when did you start believing
[01:08:15] this? What What made you think that?"
[01:08:18] Because quite honestly, the minute you
[01:08:20] stop thinking somebody has something to
[01:08:23] teach you,
[01:08:25] you're an arrogant monster.
[01:08:30] I can't learn anything from you. All of
[01:08:32] you people believe this. So, I have you.
[01:08:34] I don't even want to talk to you. I
[01:08:35] don't need to talk to you. Are you
[01:08:37] kidding me?
[01:08:41] Those are the people I want to talk to
[01:08:44] because those are the people I can learn
[01:08:46] something from.
[01:08:48] even if it's just empathy,
[01:08:50] something we sorely lack in today's
[01:08:53] world.
[01:08:55] The second, the truth will set you free.
[01:09:00] I love Ephesians where supposed to put
[01:09:03] on the full armor of God, the helmet of
[01:09:06] salvation. When I got into the waters of
[01:09:09] baptism,
[01:09:10] I needed I needed that salvation.
[01:09:15] I needed for all the things that I had
[01:09:17] done in my life. All of the wrongs that
[01:09:20] I had done, I needed somebody else to
[01:09:23] carry them because they were crushing
[01:09:25] me.
[01:09:30] And so I proved him.
[01:09:34] You promise me if I live my life the way
[01:09:36] you tell me to live my life, if I'm
[01:09:38] always doing what you ask me to do,
[01:09:42] you will take this from me.
[01:09:48] And he did.
[01:09:50] And my life changed overnight.
[01:09:58] I don't know. I don't know what the
[01:10:00] truth is about you that you have running
[01:10:03] in your head, but it's probably not very
[01:10:05] good. We all have these things. Oh, if
[01:10:08] people only knew if if people only knew
[01:10:10] what I thought or what I did or I'm not
[01:10:12] good enough. I'm a fraud. Whatever it
[01:10:14] is, that's a lie. Maybe somebody in your
[01:10:18] life has been telling you that crap.
[01:10:20] Turn that off. Turn that off. You are a
[01:10:24] divine daughter and son of God with all
[01:10:28] of the rights and privileges that go
[01:10:30] with that. You are equipped with
[01:10:32] everything you need. Don't let anyone
[01:10:35] tell you somebody stands in your way.
[01:10:38] Don't let anybody tell you you can't do
[01:10:40] it. The system is rigged against you. I
[01:10:44] am a son of God. I have everything I
[01:10:49] need.
[01:10:57] Third is choose your thoughts, man.
[01:11:00] Choose your thoughts.
[01:11:04] My father said one time I was probably
[01:11:08] 17 years old. And we got into some
[01:11:11] fight. I don't even remember what it was
[01:11:12] about. And I went, I just wanted to hurt
[01:11:16] him, you know? I just wanted to win. And
[01:11:18] I was like, "Yeah, well, I'll never be
[01:11:20] like you."
[01:11:23] And you know what he said to me?
[01:11:28] Good.
[01:11:30] I am so glad to hear you say that. I was
[01:11:36] like,
[01:11:42] "But you," he said to me, "but you
[01:11:45] better find a model. You better find a
[01:11:48] father you want to be like. You better
[01:11:52] be very careful because I've put all of
[01:11:55] these images of what a dad is in your
[01:11:57] head. And if you don't if you don't
[01:12:00] choose to be different and know what
[01:12:04] you're choosing, I promise you, son, you
[01:12:06] will be exactly like me.
[01:12:11] Choose your thoughts. What is the name
[01:12:14] of God in the Bible? When he goes to
[01:12:16] Moses, who shall I say sent me? I am
[01:12:20] that I am. The most powerful words in
[01:12:24] any language is I am. Be careful what
[01:12:28] you follow that with.
[01:12:31] I am what? A loser? I'm weak. I'm
[01:12:35] pathetic. I'm a fraud. No, you are not.
[01:12:39] But you will be that because you're
[01:12:41] invoking the power of God. I am blank.
[01:12:47] Choose your thoughts. Choose what you
[01:12:50] follow I am with carefully.
[01:12:55] Be mindful of what you think. You have
[01:12:57] about 85,000 thoughts today.
[01:13:03] What what
[01:13:05] they're in there all the time going.
[01:13:07] You're thinking all kinds of stuff.
[01:13:10] Why would you say I'm fat? I'm ugly.
[01:13:14] Why wouldn't you say I'm getting
[01:13:16] healthier every day?
[01:13:19] I'm unique and beautiful in my own way.
[01:13:22] Why would you let the world tell you who
[01:13:25] you are?
[01:13:28] You are the only one that decides that
[01:13:32] life doesn't happen to you.
[01:13:37] Are you to be acted upon? Or are you
[01:13:40] somebody that acts?
[01:13:43] I'm not going to be acted upon. I'm not
[01:13:45] a slave. I'm not a thing. I'm a thinking
[01:13:49] human being.
[01:13:51] I act.
[01:13:53] I create.
[01:13:56] I am.
[01:13:58] Four.
[01:14:00] You will serve something in your life.
[01:14:03] Guarantee it. You will serve something
[01:14:07] and that service may be might be money,
[01:14:11] might be fame, might be addiction.
[01:14:15] Might be sex, might whatever it is might
[01:14:18] be God.
[01:14:21] But if you don't choose what you serve,
[01:14:24] if you don't say this is the most
[01:14:27] important thing to me, this is my line.
[01:14:30] I serve this.
[01:14:33] Again, it will be filled in by life and
[01:14:37] you will end up serving false gods.
[01:14:42] Choose your master because if you don't,
[01:14:45] your a master will choose you. Five,
[01:14:50] forgiveness
[01:14:52] is essential.
[01:14:54] Without forgiveness, everything else
[01:14:56] falls apart.
[01:15:05] But it's not only essential, it's
[01:15:07] crippling hard. I can't tell you.
[01:15:10] There's lots of people I'm like, I got
[01:15:13] to forgive you.
[01:15:16] It's crippling hard. But it's harder to
[01:15:19] forgive yourself most times.
[01:15:23] You got to let that go.
[01:15:26] Give that to him. Let it go.
[01:15:29] The past is the past
[01:15:32] helmet of salvation. He is saving you.
[01:15:36] He's redeeming you. Why is it a helmet?
[01:15:38] Because it's what's going on in your
[01:15:40] head all the time. It's not real. It's
[01:15:42] yesterday, but it's eating you alive in
[01:15:44] your head. Put on the helmet of
[01:15:47] salvation. Do not let those thoughts
[01:15:49] come into your mind.
[01:15:52] >> When that happens, your life changes.
[01:15:59] Forgiveness is hard.
[01:16:05] Forgiving Charlie Kirk's killer. When I
[01:16:09] saw Erica do that,
[01:16:13] that's hard.
[01:16:17] But most likely forgiving yourself is
[01:16:19] harder because you will see the humanity
[01:16:22] in someone else. Hopefully, you will see
[01:16:25] the pain or the struggle or whatever it
[01:16:27] is in somebody else, but you won't give
[01:16:30] yourself that credit.
[01:16:33] Give that to yourself.
[01:16:36] Six,
[01:16:38] discipline is freedom. I said to you, I
[01:16:42] mean, I have a lot of pastor friends and
[01:16:44] I can speak at churches and they'll
[01:16:45] always let me speak and they don't do
[01:16:47] that a lot of times with people from
[01:16:49] different religions. But I had a really
[01:16:50] honest pastor friend of mine. I said, "I
[01:16:53] can't believe you let me speak here."
[01:16:54] And he's like, "Glenn, nobody wants to
[01:16:55] go to your church. You're welcome.
[01:16:56] Nobody's go. Nobody's leaving after you
[01:16:59] talk to join yours."
[01:17:02] I said, "Thank you.
[01:17:06] Discipline is freedom. My church is
[01:17:09] really hard. We got a lot of rules."
[01:17:13] Okay. But I needed that framework. I
[01:17:16] didn't have that discipline. I didn't
[01:17:19] have the discipline I needed. I needed
[01:17:22] framework that said, "Serve your fellow
[01:17:24] man, and here's how you're going to do
[01:17:27] it. Tithe, and here's what you need to
[01:17:31] do." I needed that discipline
[01:17:36] because what I found is it's actually
[01:17:39] very freeing. You stop lying and you're
[01:17:42] the freest person in the world. When I
[01:17:44] was at Fox, they were investigating me.
[01:17:47] Fox was. I had everybody investigate me.
[01:17:52] Everybody.
[01:17:53] At one point, we had people going
[01:17:56] through our garbage at my house, looking
[01:17:58] at everything. And I was totally cool
[01:18:01] with it because it wouldn't have been 10
[01:18:04] years ago, but I found Christ. I let it
[01:18:06] all go and I announced it on the air.
[01:18:08] You don't even know what I've done.
[01:18:10] Here's what I've done. And I vomited out
[01:18:12] on the air. I got that poison out. So, I
[01:18:15] had already told my audience who I was.
[01:18:17] So, what are you going to find on me?
[01:18:19] Cuz I know I'm not doing anything bad
[01:18:20] now. You're going to dig up some
[01:18:22] skeleton in my closet. Ooh, I've already
[01:18:25] told my audience about it. That scared
[01:18:28] the daylights out of them.
[01:18:30] But you when you know who you are and
[01:18:33] you can look somebody in the eye and
[01:18:35] say, "Investigate all you want."
[01:18:39] They're terrified of you
[01:18:43] because they know they have no power
[01:18:46] over you.
[01:18:48] You never lie. You never cheat. You
[01:18:52] never steal. You know who you are. No
[01:18:57] one can trap you. And they freak out.
[01:19:04] I was sitting in a meeting with the head
[01:19:07] at that time, Roger Hails, head of Fox
[01:19:08] News, and I knew they had been
[01:19:11] investigating me. And uh I called into
[01:19:15] his office and he's sitting there behind
[01:19:18] his desk
[01:19:20] like an evil warlord.
[01:19:24] And I said, "Roger, how are you?" And he
[01:19:27] said, "Have a seat." I sat down and he
[01:19:31] said, "You know, a lot of people want to
[01:19:34] know the skeletons in your closet." I
[01:19:37] said, "I know." He said, "A lot of
[01:19:39] people are investigating you." I said,
[01:19:41] "I know."
[01:19:44] He reached down and he picked up a stack
[01:19:46] of files, okay? About this big. He put
[01:19:50] it right on his desk, right in front of
[01:19:52] him and between me. And then he pet it
[01:19:55] like a James Bond villain.
[01:20:01] You know,
[01:20:03] a lot of people want to know about you.
[01:20:08] I'm thinking
[01:20:09] there's nothing in those files. And I
[01:20:12] said, I know that.
[01:20:16] Then he looked at me and he said,
[01:20:20] you know, it's always a shame
[01:20:23] you have a wonderful wife.
[01:20:26] the hair stood up my neck. I leaned into
[01:20:29] his desk and I said, "Yes, I do."
[01:20:33] And he said, "It's always a shame
[01:20:36] when a man does something and
[01:20:39] hurts a woman like that."
[01:20:44] I looked him in the eye. I leaned in to
[01:20:46] the desk and I said, "I know, and that's
[01:20:50] why that has never happened." and they
[01:20:54] stared him in the eye and we were like
[01:20:56] in the third grade for a minute. Here's
[01:20:58] the pinnacle of television news. I'm
[01:21:01] sitting next to the guy who created net
[01:21:03] network television news. I'm looking him
[01:21:06] in the eye and it's like we're in the
[01:21:07] third grade. We're having a staredown
[01:21:09] contest. And I know the rule. The first
[01:21:12] person to look away loses. So I'm not
[01:21:15] looking away. I'm not blinking. I'm
[01:21:16] like,
[01:21:22] I won.
[01:21:24] He looked away.
[01:21:32] But that could not have happened. That
[01:21:34] could not have happened if I hadn't have
[01:21:36] done these things. If I hadn't had the
[01:21:39] discipline to know exactly who I am.
[01:21:43] Find your own framework. Keep pictures
[01:21:46] of heroes. Real heroes.
[01:21:49] Charlie Kirk should be on your desk or
[01:21:52] in your backpack, wherever you are, in
[01:21:54] your car, wherever you are making
[01:21:56] decisions. Find five people that inspire
[01:22:00] you, that you want to be more like, and
[01:22:02] keep them in front of you. People from
[01:22:04] the past or the present, people that you
[01:22:06] know made the right decision in the hard
[01:22:09] times. Because there's going to come a
[01:22:11] time when you get up on the phone and
[01:22:14] somebody's going to say, "Hey, you want
[01:22:15] to do this? Hey, why don't you
[01:22:17] compromise here? Why don't you do this?
[01:22:19] And you need to have the strength and
[01:22:21] the courage to look right at your
[01:22:23] counsel and know exactly,
[01:22:26] nope, not doing that.
[01:22:30] Find strength in heroes from the past.
[01:22:35] Discipline is freedom.
[01:22:38] Work.
[01:22:41] Let me tell you a story about Charlie
[01:22:42] Kirk.
[01:22:44] I meet a million people all the time who
[01:22:48] say, "I want to have your job."
[01:22:52] Usually what they're saying is, "I want
[01:22:54] the fame or I want the fortune." And I'm
[01:22:56] like, "You can have that. It's battery
[01:23:00] acid to the soul."
[01:23:03] Really? You want my job? Yeah. Well,
[01:23:07] I'll I'll help you any way I can. you
[01:23:10] want to intern or you you know you want
[01:23:12] mentorship. I'm I'm willing to do that.
[01:23:16] No,
[01:23:18] nobody finishes. Nobody's willing to
[01:23:20] actually put in the work. You're not
[01:23:23] paid what you're paid because you kind
[01:23:26] of phone it in.
[01:23:29] You only succeed when you are doing
[01:23:33] everything all the time and you are
[01:23:36] focused and you're disciplined and you
[01:23:38] work hard and you finish what you start.
[01:23:42] When that happens, the whole world
[01:23:44] changes. Charlie Kirk at 17 came to me.
[01:23:47] He said, "I want to be like you. I want
[01:23:50] your job." What he was really saying is,
[01:23:52] "I want to be like Rush Limbbo."
[01:23:57] He didn't want to be me. He wanted to be
[01:23:59] Rush Limbaugh.
[01:24:00] And uh I said, "Well, you know, maybe
[01:24:05] maybe let's see what you do." And I
[01:24:08] watched him. This is the first time I
[01:24:12] have said this.
[01:24:20] My life is
[01:24:22] changing next year. I'm changing a lot
[01:24:24] of things in my life.
[01:24:31] I was grooming Charlie to replace me.
[01:24:37] Charlie was replacing me next year.
[01:24:45] He didn't know that
[01:24:48] because I wanted to save it to him
[01:24:52] as a surprise.
[01:24:54] I've watched you.
[01:24:57] You've surpassed me. You have worked so
[01:25:01] hard. You've done everything you're
[01:25:04] supposed to do. I haven't seen anyone
[01:25:07] like you.
[01:25:10] I will turn my
[01:25:12] radio, my internet, whatever you need
[01:25:16] over to you because you deserve it.
[01:25:20] I'm telling you, work hard. People who
[01:25:24] are successful will see it and you'll
[01:25:26] rock it to the top.
[01:25:30] Faith is for realists.
[01:25:40] Number seven, faith is for realists.
[01:25:44] You have faith because you're a realist.
[01:25:46] You have faith. You get up every day.
[01:25:48] You know that flaming orb in the sky is
[01:25:52] going to be there tomorrow morning
[01:25:53] because it comes up every day. You know
[01:25:56] it. You have faith that it's going to
[01:25:57] come up.
[01:25:59] What do you really truly have faith in
[01:26:01] that maybe you don't fully understand?
[01:26:05] It's not It's not blindness.
[01:26:08] I talked to Erica.
[01:26:14] I I I believe Charlie knew. I believe
[01:26:17] Charlie knew.
[01:26:20] They were with their pastor the night
[01:26:21] before.
[01:26:25] But Charlie wasn't afraid
[01:26:27] because Charlie had faith.
[01:26:30] Charlie had the faith that whatever if
[01:26:32] I'm doing what I'm asked by the Lord to
[01:26:36] do, it will all be fine. And it doesn't
[01:26:39] mean that it works out for you in the
[01:26:41] end. But it works out for God because
[01:26:45] Charlie was so faithful
[01:26:48] because he worked so hard. Because he
[01:26:52] built what he built
[01:26:55] in the name of God.
[01:26:58] Somebody comes in and takes him out. And
[01:27:01] look what God has done with that.
[01:27:17] I think of you. I think of you often. I
[01:27:22] pray for you every day. And I pray that
[01:27:26] you will see what Charlie how he lived
[01:27:28] his life and see the impact that he
[01:27:31] made. He would not have made this impact
[01:27:34] if he sloughed off, if he slept in, if
[01:27:38] he didn't do the work. The guy was in
[01:27:40] his early 30s.
[01:27:44] He's Thomas Jefferson. He's Martin
[01:27:46] Luther King. He's in his 30s. I'm 62. I
[01:27:51] haven't accomplished what he has.
[01:27:56] The Lord has plans for you, but you must
[01:27:59] do your part.
[01:28:02] And you'll always know when it's God
[01:28:04] telling you to do something. At least I
[01:28:07] found because it's always something you
[01:28:08] go, "Oh crap, no, I don't want to do
[01:28:10] that.
[01:28:13] Please, that's going to make me a
[01:28:14] pariah. I that that's too hard. I can't
[01:28:16] do that." Do it. Do it every time.
[01:28:22] Gratitude changes everything.
[01:28:25] It It doesn't It doesn't erase the
[01:28:28] hardship.
[01:28:29] It doesn't. But failure is fertilizer.
[01:28:35] It's fertilizer for something great that
[01:28:38] is about to grow. If you have faith that
[01:28:42] I know if I do what I'm supposed to do,
[01:28:44] it's all going to work out.
[01:28:48] It will.
[01:28:50] It will. It may not take you where you
[01:28:52] want to be or where you think you're
[01:28:54] going, but as long as you're checking
[01:28:56] with him all the time, am I doing the
[01:28:58] right thing? Am I doing the right thing?
[01:28:59] Is this right? Is this where you want
[01:29:01] me? Is this where you want me? He may
[01:29:02] tell you to do some things and it
[01:29:04] doesn't work out and you're like, wait,
[01:29:05] you just told me to do that. No, but you
[01:29:09] put in your head what that was supposed
[01:29:11] to look like in the end. I'm putting you
[01:29:14] in a position
[01:29:17] of where I need you to be. And I
[01:29:20] guarantee you in your life you will look
[01:29:22] back on some of the hardest things
[01:29:23] you've ever done and you'll look back
[01:29:25] and go
[01:29:27] that was actually a really good time
[01:29:30] because it's those days that you grow.
[01:29:33] It's those days where you really learn
[01:29:36] where you're struggling so hard just to
[01:29:38] keep your head above water. That's where
[01:29:41] you that's your forge. That's when you
[01:29:44] strengthen your steel. That's when you
[01:29:47] know who you are
[01:29:49] because you've been tested.
[01:29:54] Go to go to sleep. When you go to sleep,
[01:29:57] do two things and it'll change your
[01:29:58] life. When you go to sleep tonight and
[01:30:01] when you wake up in the morning,
[01:30:04] just quickly name two things you know
[01:30:07] are true about God. Two things you know
[01:30:10] absolutely are true about God.
[01:30:13] God loves me
[01:30:15] and there's forgiveness.
[01:30:18] I could start all over tomorrow and I
[01:30:20] know it's true because he's promised
[01:30:22] that's true.
[01:30:26] Then
[01:30:27] two things you're grateful for.
[01:30:30] Gratitude changes everything.
[01:30:34] If we were if we had more gratitude in
[01:30:36] life, we wouldn't be sh
[01:30:40] than I do. Who cares?
[01:30:44] In the end, it ain't about the stuff.
[01:30:46] It's really not. And I know that's it
[01:30:50] seems easy for me to say that because it
[01:30:52] is easy for me to say that because I'm
[01:30:55] at the place in my life where you will
[01:30:57] be someday. And you will realize, oh
[01:31:01] man, all that stuff I used to worry
[01:31:02] about, all that stuff that I thought was
[01:31:03] important, none of that is important.
[01:31:07] It's just who you are.
[01:31:10] your relationship to God
[01:31:12] that changes everything. Gratitude
[01:31:16] instead of instead of saying ah I'm so
[01:31:19] mad that so and so gratitude.
[01:31:23] My father taught me this once
[01:31:26] I was 28 and uh my father was so patient
[01:31:30] with me and I called him up. My father
[01:31:32] was a baker and I call him up at work
[01:31:35] and I'm like whining, "Dad,
[01:31:38] you know, this is not working out the
[01:31:39] way it's supposed to and I, you know,
[01:31:41] I've just really been really screwed my
[01:31:43] whole life." My father was so patient
[01:31:46] and he was like, "You know what? You
[01:31:47] make a good point. You really ha
[01:31:50] thinking back now. You really have had a
[01:31:53] tough life, Glenn. You really have." I'm
[01:31:55] like, "Right, right. See, you get it.
[01:31:59] Like it started with mom's suicide.
[01:32:01] Right. And then there was this and then
[01:32:03] there was that. And he's like, "Wow,
[01:32:05] Glenn, you are You know what? You're
[01:32:08] right. Listen, I have some bread in the
[01:32:11] oven right now. I got to pull it out.
[01:32:13] But this is an important conversation.
[01:32:15] Would you do me a favor? I want you to I
[01:32:18] want you to call me tonight, but when
[01:32:19] you hang up the phone, I want you to
[01:32:21] make a list of at least 10 things where
[01:32:24] you've gotten the shaft, where life has
[01:32:27] been really unfair. just make a list of
[01:32:30] 10 things and then call me tonight.
[01:32:33] So I did. I'm like, see, my dad is so
[01:32:35] smart. He knows me. And I start writing.
[01:32:38] First thing, my mother's suicide. I
[01:32:40] don't remember what the number two and
[01:32:41] number three, but by the time I got to
[01:32:43] number three, that one was related to my
[01:32:45] mother's suicide. But that number three
[01:32:47] had something positive that came out of
[01:32:49] it. And then I started going up and I
[01:32:51] looked at number one and I'm like, but
[01:32:52] if my mom hadn't have done that, I
[01:32:54] wouldn't have moved here, which means I
[01:32:56] wouldn't have met that person, which
[01:32:58] means I wouldn't have done this.
[01:33:01] I realized
[01:33:04] everything works out
[01:33:06] if you just let it go.
[01:33:09] Everything works out.
[01:33:12] I call my dad back.
[01:33:14] Phone rings. He picks it up.
[01:33:17] You don't have any bread in the oven, do
[01:33:19] you?
[01:33:22] He laughed and he said, "Wow, you're
[01:33:25] smarter than I thought you were."
[01:33:28] There is no such thing as bad things.
[01:33:31] It's what you do with it. It's what
[01:33:34] you're going to do with Charlie Kirk's
[01:33:35] death. You had a choice. Choose death.
[01:33:39] Choose anger. Choose vengeance. Or
[01:33:42] choose life.
[01:33:44] Choose charity.
[01:33:47] Choose peace. Choose forgiveness. And
[01:33:50] look how you've already changed the
[01:33:53] world. There is no such thing as bad if
[01:33:57] you make the choice to see the good that
[01:34:00] can come from it.
[01:34:05] And last one, community is oxygen. A
[01:34:10] community is oxygen. You cannot be
[01:34:11] online all the time by yourself. You
[01:34:13] must have people around you.
[01:34:18] And and it's not just for you. You one
[01:34:21] of your jobs has to be give per
[01:34:23] permission to your friends, people that
[01:34:26] you meet. Give them permission to have
[01:34:28] hope.
[01:34:32] It's easy for you to see the good in
[01:34:35] other people that they refuse to see in
[01:34:37] themselves.
[01:34:40] There's nothing better. Franklin was
[01:34:42] asked what is the American religion? He
[01:34:45] said the American religion is there is a
[01:34:47] God. He will judge us.
[01:34:50] The best way to serve God is to serve
[01:34:52] our fellow man.
[01:34:55] That's the American religion.
[01:34:58] So serve
[01:35:00] because that's the only thing that
[01:35:01] matters. When you get out of yourself
[01:35:05] and you start seeing the needs in others
[01:35:06] and you want to serve them,
[01:35:09] your whole world changes.
[01:35:12] And because your world changes, your
[01:35:15] world changes and my world changes.
[01:35:18] That's how we change the world, one
[01:35:21] person at a time. Thank you.
[01:35:36] So
[01:35:43] So, I want to uh I want to share some
[01:35:45] history with you and then we'll take
[01:35:46] some questions. Whatever you guys want
[01:35:49] to do. Please just don't please just
[01:35:51] don't piss me off. I'm in a really good
[01:35:53] mood. Please. I saw a protester outside.
[01:35:56] There was only one. I wanted to buy him
[01:35:58] a burger and fries.
[01:36:00] It's like, look at that guy. He has the
[01:36:02] courage to be out there by himself. Good
[01:36:05] for him.
[01:36:08] I said to somebody, "We should get them
[01:36:10] a milkshake." And they said, "That's bad
[01:36:12] connotation." And I was like, "Oh, yeah.
[01:36:14] I remember when they were throwing
[01:36:15] milkshakes at us." Um, let me uh before
[01:36:18] I start on this, I want to tell you
[01:36:20] something I'm doing because I am uh my
[01:36:24] job is changing
[01:36:26] uh in January. And uh I'm going to be
[01:36:30] doing a lot of the stuff that I'm doing,
[01:36:32] but I've also been studying AI since the
[01:36:35] 90s. And I have been working on a
[01:36:37] project with AI. The AI has a problem.
[01:36:41] It hallucinates. You cannot trust AI.
[01:36:44] And don't ever ever ever start to
[01:36:46] believe it's your friend. It's a person.
[01:36:49] It's a lover. It's not. It's ones and
[01:36:52] zeros.
[01:36:59] But I think as long as we understand it
[01:37:02] is a tool,
[01:37:04] we should use it.
[01:37:06] So, I have spent the last 25 years
[01:37:09] taking pretty much my family my family
[01:37:13] is like, "You're not leaving us
[01:37:14] anything, are you, Dad?" I'm like, "I'm
[01:37:16] spending it all."
[01:37:19] I have been preserving American history.
[01:37:21] We have more founding documents. We are
[01:37:24] only behind the National Archives and
[01:37:26] the Library of Congress. I have the
[01:37:29] largest collection of pilgrim artifacts.
[01:37:32] Um we we we you name it, we are
[01:37:36] collecting it and preserving it. We have
[01:37:38] digitized all of it. It will be
[01:37:40] available in something called George AI
[01:37:43] um coming soon. Uh and George AI is
[01:37:48] there's two parts of it. One will take
[01:37:50] you through all of the artifacts so you
[01:37:52] know exactly you want to do a paper on
[01:37:56] life, prolife, abortion.
[01:37:59] Did the founders ever talk about that?
[01:38:02] Yes, they did. But you won't know how to
[01:38:05] find that. But we have now put it into
[01:38:08] its own self-contained system with
[01:38:11] virtual electric fence around it. So it
[01:38:14] cannot distort. It must remember all of
[01:38:18] it. The problem with AI, the reason why
[01:38:20] it hallucinates is it can only remember
[01:38:22] so much. So it takes the beginning of a
[01:38:24] story, the end of the story, and it's
[01:38:25] like, "Yeah, I'm pretty sure it kind of
[01:38:27] happened this way."
[01:38:29] We have to have it memorize word for
[01:38:32] word. So now you'll be able to take any
[01:38:34] document. Anything from the founders,
[01:38:36] you can translate it into any language.
[01:38:38] You can say, "I need it to explain this
[01:38:41] to an eight-year-old and it is
[01:38:43] absolutely accurate." In 2026, I'm going
[01:38:47] to be introducing something that we're
[01:38:48] working on that goes a step beyond that.
[01:38:52] And I want to show you just a quick clip
[01:38:54] of George AI.
[01:38:58] May the grace of God be upon us all
[01:39:02] >> now and forever more.
[01:39:07] >> They have no right to tax us like this.
[01:39:10] They're robbing our freedom.
[01:39:15] >> Soldiers, listen to me now.
[01:39:20] The harder the conflict,
[01:39:24] the more glorious the triumph.
[01:39:50] So, which part of it do you want to hear
[01:39:51] about?
[01:39:56] >> Soon next year, you are going to be able
[01:39:58] to have
[01:40:00] beginning next year, you're going to be
[01:40:02] able to have a one-on-one conversation
[01:40:05] with the founders in your language,
[01:40:08] speaking the way you speak. I just this
[01:40:11] week asked him,
[01:40:14] "How do we fix
[01:40:17] this. What principles have we lost? And
[01:40:21] where do we even start? George,
[01:40:24] the answer came from them in their
[01:40:28] writings, in everything they studied, in
[01:40:31] everything that built this nation. I
[01:40:33] can't wait for you to see it and to
[01:40:37] learn from actual documented history.
[01:40:40] Now, let me show you some of the things
[01:40:42] that I I brought here. Um, first let me
[01:40:46] ask you a question. Is America a good
[01:40:48] place or a bad place?
[01:40:50] [Applause]
[01:40:52] >> Wait a minute. Is it?
[01:40:55] >> Is it?
[01:40:57] >> Let me hear me out for a second.
[01:41:01] Pete Hegsth, by the way, Pete Hegsth got
[01:41:03] his start by working at the Blaze.
[01:41:06] >> It's crazy.
[01:41:08] Uh Pete Hegsth just said recently uh
[01:41:12] that they are not going to retract any
[01:41:14] of the medals of honor for Wounded Knee.
[01:41:17] This is something I've been working on
[01:41:19] for years trying to get those Medals of
[01:41:21] Honor to be returned because I have I
[01:41:24] have some of the guns. I have the
[01:41:26] photos. I have the things that came from
[01:41:28] Wounded Knee. I have the writings of the
[01:41:30] people that were there. I know that
[01:41:32] those medals of honor were bribes to
[01:41:35] shut them up. It was a massacre and we
[01:41:39] shut people up and we did it by saying
[01:41:43] this is an honorable battle.
[01:41:46] I can tell you I can tell you stories
[01:41:48] that of things that this country has
[01:41:50] done that will curl your hair.
[01:41:53] Things that we have done in the name of
[01:41:56] God, in the name of the American people,
[01:41:58] in the name of righteousness. We've done
[01:42:00] horrible things. Here's the answer to
[01:42:05] that question. Is America a good place
[01:42:08] or is America a bad place? The answer is
[01:42:13] yes.
[01:42:15] Yes. Yes, it is. It has bad things in it
[01:42:19] and good things in it. You have to
[01:42:22] decipher. And if you forget the bad
[01:42:24] things, I guarantee you, you will repeat
[01:42:27] them. So, it's important that you know
[01:42:30] the bad things. I can sit down with any
[01:42:33] college professor and outbad America to
[01:42:36] them. And I have all the evidence. I
[01:42:38] have the documents. I have the
[01:42:40] transcripts. I have I have the paperwork
[01:42:44] on what they did in medical experiments
[01:42:47] to black men. I have it. So don't please
[01:42:51] get off your cute little high horse
[01:42:53] telling me how bad America is because I
[01:42:55] will put you to shame, professor. But
[01:42:58] let me ask you this. Can you tell me the
[01:43:01] great things that this country did? Can
[01:43:03] you tell me the things that Americans
[01:43:05] did and this country did that changed
[01:43:07] the world forever?
[01:43:09] They can't. You must. You must know the
[01:43:13] bad and the good. It's the only way
[01:43:16] you're going to weather the storms of
[01:43:18] the future. You must be able to say,
[01:43:20] "Yes, we made mistakes, and I know those
[01:43:23] mistakes better than you do. So, don't
[01:43:26] lecture me on those mistakes.
[01:43:29] Let's talk about balance.
[01:43:31] I I I Winston Churchill is one of my
[01:43:34] favorite people in the world. Love
[01:43:36] Winston Churchill. I read every book I
[01:43:39] could find on Winston Churchill. Loved
[01:43:41] him. And then I thought, you know, he
[01:43:43] spent some time in India. I wonder what
[01:43:46] the I wonder what the biographies say
[01:43:48] about him from the Indian perspective.
[01:43:51] Oh my gosh. The guy was a monster.
[01:43:56] He was a monster. He was like you wait
[01:43:58] that's Winston Churchill that's not
[01:44:00] Winston Churchill how could Winston
[01:44:01] Churchill be doing that here and saying
[01:44:04] yeah just run out and kill him and then
[01:44:06] be over here in Europe going say the
[01:44:08] exact opposite what is happening my
[01:44:10] whole world on Winston Churchill fell
[01:44:12] apart for a second I'm like what
[01:44:17] then I remembered
[01:44:19] wait a minute
[01:44:22] look at yourself have you done horrible
[01:44:24] things in your life sure did That's why
[01:44:26] I needed the atonement. Yep. I've done
[01:44:30] horrible things in my life. Does that
[01:44:32] make me a bad person?
[01:44:34] No.
[01:44:36] Am I a good person? Well, I try to be. I
[01:44:40] try to be. So, are you a good person? I
[01:44:44] try to be. I'm I can't say I'm either of
[01:44:46] those things because I'm both of those
[01:44:48] things. It's the trajectory that
[01:44:51] matters. Are you getting better or are
[01:44:54] you getting worse?
[01:44:56] Is the country getting better by what we
[01:44:59] believe, what we do? Is it healing more
[01:45:03] people? Helping more people, helping
[01:45:06] people up out of poverty? Is it
[01:45:08] enriching people? Is it, and I mean that
[01:45:11] in a spiritual and a mental way? Is it
[01:45:14] enriching their lives?
[01:45:17] I believe what we fight for. Yes.
[01:45:22] I believe what the left, not Democrats,
[01:45:25] the left fights for
[01:45:28] quite honestly at many times it's evil
[01:45:31] because they're telling people you will
[01:45:34] never succeed. You're not good enough
[01:45:37] without me to guide you all the way.
[01:45:42] That's evil.
[01:45:45] We must always be on the other side
[01:45:48] giving people the promise of hope of
[01:45:50] knowing who they are. So, let's start
[01:45:52] with knowing who we are. This is
[01:45:55] garbage. This is the New York Times
[01:45:56] magazine 1619 project. In this, it says
[01:46:00] that America really started with slavery
[01:46:03] in 1619.
[01:46:05] That's garbage. And I know what was on
[01:46:07] that boat in 1619 because I happened to
[01:46:11] have the manifest.
[01:46:14] So, professor, let's talk about what was
[01:46:17] on that ship, shall we?
[01:46:21] Let's talk about when did slavery come
[01:46:24] to America? Was a white man, England,
[01:46:27] Jamestown? Nope.
[01:46:31] This is a document written in Spanish
[01:46:35] from Spain,
[01:46:37] a hundred years before,
[01:46:41] okaying slaves to come from Africa into
[01:46:45] what we now call the Carolinas.
[01:46:48] So wait, pilgrims, Jamestown, what? We
[01:46:53] didn't bring the first slaves in. No.
[01:46:55] You know why? Everybody had slaves. Do
[01:46:57] you know that 20 to 40%
[01:47:00] of uh Native Americans owned slaves
[01:47:04] before we came? Why? Because it was in
[01:47:08] their culture. Not all of them, but in
[01:47:10] many of the waring cultures,
[01:47:14] if they won, they could take you as a
[01:47:17] slave. Otherwise, they would kill you.
[01:47:20] They would boil you alive. Sometimes
[01:47:22] they needed to teach their enemies a
[01:47:24] lesson. That's what they believed. The
[01:47:27] longest running uh peace treaty with the
[01:47:29] Indians was signed with the pilgrims.
[01:47:34] You know who broke that peace treaty?
[01:47:37] the Native Americans because the
[01:47:39] pilgrims were teaching them how to live
[01:47:41] Christlike. And too many of them were
[01:47:44] saying, "We shouldn't have slaves. We
[01:47:47] shouldn't boil people. We we we should
[01:47:50] show compassion after war." And the
[01:47:52] chief knew we're battling really bad
[01:47:55] guys. We've got to be scary. So he
[01:47:58] banned Christianity and broke the pre
[01:48:01] peace treaty.
[01:48:03] Now not all Indians were like that. But
[01:48:06] this is the way of the world.
[01:48:10] Do you know who do you know that our
[01:48:11] pilgrims when they came
[01:48:14] the miraculous ways they came over and
[01:48:18] they made a compact and one of the
[01:48:20] things in their compact was no man
[01:48:23] stealing. Man stealing. Taking another
[01:48:27] man putting him into chains and having
[01:48:28] him a slave. No man stealing. It's one
[01:48:31] of their big laws. Did you know? Have
[01:48:33] you ever heard I'll tell you about
[01:48:35] Jamestown. It ended in cannibalism. It
[01:48:38] was horrible. I'll tell you all the bad
[01:48:40] things. So, let me just spend a minute
[01:48:41] here on the pilgrims on a story you've
[01:48:43] never heard. The pilgrims felt so
[01:48:45] strongly about manstealing. One time a
[01:48:48] slave ship blew into their harbor. It
[01:48:51] was off course. It was a storm. You
[01:48:52] could smell a slave ship a mile away.
[01:48:54] They knew what was on it. And they knew
[01:48:57] that on their land that was illegal. So
[01:49:01] they went to emancipate the slaves on
[01:49:04] that ship. They marched up the gang
[01:49:06] plank and they arrested the captain. You
[01:49:09] landed in the wrong space, captain. They
[01:49:11] arrested the captain. They arrested the
[01:49:13] first mate. Then they took a uh passed a
[01:49:17] hat out and took donations from
[01:49:20] themselves. These were not wealthy
[01:49:22] people. These were people that were
[01:49:24] paying 50% of everything they made to
[01:49:26] the king.
[01:49:28] They passed a hat around amongst
[01:49:30] themselves so they could restock clean
[01:49:33] that ship, restock it, hire a new
[01:49:36] captain in first mate, and send it back
[01:49:39] to Africa to free the slaves and bring
[01:49:42] them home. Have you ever heard that
[01:49:44] story?
[01:49:47] Ask yourself this question. Why not?
[01:49:53] Why not?
[01:49:57] Why? Why do we Why do we all Why do we
[01:50:01] all think that
[01:50:03] we're not a nation that was founded on
[01:50:05] God? Because you haven't been told the
[01:50:08] truth.
[01:50:10] This is a a Bible from 1599. Came over
[01:50:13] from on the Mayflower. This is this is a
[01:50:18] Bible. It's called a Geneva Bible.
[01:50:20] Geneva Bible was the first one that had
[01:50:22] commentary on the side. The reason why
[01:50:26] our our our pilgrims came over, they
[01:50:28] were very religious. Uh and they came
[01:50:31] over with this Bible. And the king hated
[01:50:33] this Bible because in the commentary on
[01:50:35] the side when it said Pharaoh, king,
[01:50:39] tyrant.
[01:50:41] You cannot call the king a tyrant. We
[01:50:43] because of this we could not print a
[01:50:46] Bible in America until we were our own
[01:50:48] country.
[01:50:50] 1619
[01:50:53] to 1789 we could not print a Bible in
[01:50:57] America because of that. You don't call
[01:51:00] a king a tyrant. Let me show you. I have
[01:51:03] a I have a Bible I was going to bring
[01:51:06] and we left it.
[01:51:09] It's worn. It's been used. It's been
[01:51:12] poured over every page. This one is very
[01:51:16] old and it's in perfect condition.
[01:51:21] It's the Bible of King Louie who had his
[01:51:24] head chopped off.
[01:51:26] I don't think he ever touched this book.
[01:51:32] The gilding is still perfect on the
[01:51:34] edge.
[01:51:36] When you use what's in these scriptures,
[01:51:40] things change. And our pilgrims did.
[01:51:44] And that led us to the American
[01:51:48] Revolution.
[01:51:50] This is a uh 1825 engraving done by
[01:51:55] Thomas Jefferson's son. This is the
[01:51:58] first draft of the Declaration of
[01:52:00] Independence
[01:52:02] in Thomas Jefferson's own hand. And it's
[01:52:04] an amazing thing because when you when
[01:52:06] you look at it over here, I wish you
[01:52:09] could come up close and see it, but it
[01:52:10] says B. Franklin, J. Adams, and then it
[01:52:14] has a line has stuff crossed out in it
[01:52:16] and then the changes. So when they made
[01:52:18] changes, Ben would come in and you go
[01:52:20] like, I want to change that. Scratch it
[01:52:22] out, be Franklin, and then he would put
[01:52:25] the changes in. So this is the first
[01:52:27] draft. Thomas Jefferson is setting is
[01:52:29] set up in a hotel room all by himself.
[01:52:32] He's about 30 years old, redhead, fiery
[01:52:35] guy from Virginia, not even supposed to
[01:52:37] be there. But he starts to write this.
[01:52:42] Now, to write this was death. This is a
[01:52:44] death penalty. You were going to be
[01:52:46] hung. You're going to be killed. Your
[01:52:48] family might even be killed. That's why
[01:52:50] that's why uh John Hancock said, "Wait a
[01:52:53] minute. Before we say we're going to
[01:52:55] write a declaration of independence from
[01:52:56] the king, because this is a breakup
[01:52:58] letter from the king, this is like you
[01:53:00] suck. we don't want anything to do with
[01:53:02] you. Okay, so it's a breakup letter. You
[01:53:06] don't send that to the king and you
[01:53:08] certainly don't say the things that they
[01:53:10] said in this to the king. So John
[01:53:13] Hancock stands up and looks at all of
[01:53:14] them and says, "Guys, we're all dead the
[01:53:17] minute this is written. Are you sure you
[01:53:20] want to write it? And I need a unanimous
[01:53:23] vote. If one person disagrees, we don't
[01:53:26] write it. Vote. Who wants it?" Every
[01:53:29] hand went up.
[01:53:32] Okay, going to give us one more shot.
[01:53:36] This is a death sentence.
[01:53:39] The king has spies everywhere.
[01:53:42] He knows what we're doing. He knows
[01:53:45] where we live. He's in some of our
[01:53:48] houses with his spies and his army.
[01:53:52] May I suggest that we vote on every
[01:53:54] single line in this document?
[01:53:57] Because if we disagree, if one person
[01:53:59] disagrees, he'll find that one person
[01:54:02] and find that disagreement and he'll
[01:54:04] work his way in and he'll start to break
[01:54:06] us up and then he'll kill us all. Do we
[01:54:08] all agree? Every line has to be voted on
[01:54:11] and unanimous. They all raise their
[01:54:13] hand. Okay. Thomas Jefferson was
[01:54:16] selected to write this. It's an amazing
[01:54:19] thing. It starts out, it's the only
[01:54:21] document. It's the only revolutionary
[01:54:22] document. Read BLM. Read Antifa. Read
[01:54:26] anything that's they're trying to start
[01:54:28] revolution. They want to overthrow the
[01:54:29] government. Doesn't start like this one.
[01:54:31] This is the only document in human
[01:54:33] history. This is why it changed so much
[01:54:35] to it basically starts with an apology.
[01:54:38] We owe it to the rest of the world to
[01:54:40] tell you why we need we feel we need to
[01:54:43] break up with you. And it's not it's
[01:54:45] really it's not us. It's you. But we're
[01:54:49] going to say it's us.
[01:54:52] We're going to say it's us. And we're
[01:54:54] going to say it this way. We've been
[01:54:57] trying to tell you who we are. We think
[01:55:00] differently than you do. We don't
[01:55:02] believe the same things that you do. Our
[01:55:04] our heritage comes from the pilgrims
[01:55:07] that you chased out. We think
[01:55:10] differently here. Let me be specific. We
[01:55:13] hold these truths to be self-evident.
[01:55:17] That all men are created equal and
[01:55:18] endowed by their creator with certain
[01:55:20] unalienable rights. among them life,
[01:55:23] liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
[01:55:25] And governments are instituted among men
[01:55:28] to protect those rights.
[01:55:31] What?
[01:55:40] The king doesn't believe any of that.
[01:55:42] You think you really You have rights.
[01:55:45] I'm the king. I have rights and I tell
[01:55:46] you what rights you have. And
[01:55:48] governments are instituted by you
[01:55:50] clowns. I don't think so. I know what's
[01:55:53] better for you than you know. Any of
[01:55:56] this sound like today familiar?
[01:55:59] I'm the king. I know. I'll tell you what
[01:56:02] you need to do, how you need to live
[01:56:04] your life.
[01:56:06] So, I'm going to give you the greatest
[01:56:08] gift anyone has ever given you because I
[01:56:11] didn't get this gift until I was about
[01:56:13] 58 years old
[01:56:15] when I first read this document.
[01:56:18] I've struggled with my whole life how to
[01:56:20] answer. How could you possibly listen to
[01:56:22] Thomas Jefferson say all men are created
[01:56:24] equal when he had slaves?
[01:56:26] He didn't he didn't really believe that.
[01:56:28] I don't know how to answer that.
[01:56:31] But you will now
[01:56:33] because of what's on page three. Page
[01:56:36] two, it begins with the usurpations. All
[01:56:39] the things that you would say to
[01:56:40] somebody you're breaking up with. You
[01:56:42] know, you don't pick up your underpants
[01:56:43] or you smell in the morning. Whatever it
[01:56:45] is. uh he writes all of these things
[01:56:49] down and they're all one or two lines
[01:56:51] maximum until he gets here.
[01:56:55] This is the last usurpation.
[01:56:58] His his handwriting even changes when he
[01:57:02] writes this. He's passionate about this.
[01:57:06] Every usurpation up till here is one or
[01:57:10] two lines. This is over half a page. Let
[01:57:13] me just show you what it starts with.
[01:57:15] And he, the king, has waged a cruel war
[01:57:19] against human nature itself, violating
[01:57:21] its most sacred rights of life and
[01:57:24] liberty in the persons of a distant
[01:57:26] people who never offended him.
[01:57:30] Taking their life and liberty and
[01:57:32] captivating and carrying them into
[01:57:34] slavery in another hemisphere or to
[01:57:37] incur miserable death in their
[01:57:39] transportation.
[01:57:41] This pyradical warfare, the approprium
[01:57:45] of infidel powers underlined is the
[01:57:49] warfare of the
[01:57:53] printed out not in script printed out
[01:57:57] underline and bold. This is the work of
[01:58:00] the warfare of the Christian king. He is
[01:58:05] now saying to the king, you can't do
[01:58:08] this and call yourself a Christian.
[01:58:10] You're not a Christian. This is
[01:58:12] pyatical. Who were the pirates? The
[01:58:14] pirates of the time were the Muslim
[01:58:16] pirates that believed if they conquered
[01:58:19] you, they could take you as a slave if
[01:58:22] you were an infidel. This is piratical
[01:58:25] warfare. The powers of infidel powers.
[01:58:31] Yet the king of Great Britain is
[01:58:33] determined to keep an open market where
[01:58:36] capitalized,
[01:58:37] bold men are to be bought and sold.
[01:58:43] Then he goes in to how many times they
[01:58:46] had tried to stop this.
[01:58:50] It's the most incredible thing I've ever
[01:58:51] I've ever read. How come you don't know
[01:58:53] that? How come nobody has ever taught
[01:58:56] you what Thomas Jefferson wrote in the
[01:58:58] first draft of the Declaration of
[01:59:00] Independence where he is making an
[01:59:02] impassion plea to stop slavery?
[01:59:05] How come you don't know that? Why hasn't
[01:59:07] a teacher or professor had the guts to
[01:59:10] show you the truth? And I guarant I want
[01:59:12] you to look this up. I want you to
[01:59:14] Google first draft of the Declaration of
[01:59:16] Independence. It's right there. It's
[01:59:18] easy to find. Why has it remained hidden
[01:59:22] from us? Why did I have to wait 50 years
[01:59:25] before I knew the truth of Thomas
[01:59:28] Jefferson?
[01:59:33] Why isn't it in the final draft?
[01:59:36] Well, because we're a country built on
[01:59:38] slavery. Because all our founders wanted
[01:59:40] was slavery. They just wanted to
[01:59:42] enshrine slavery so they can enrich
[01:59:44] themselves and hurt the black man. No.
[01:59:47] Here's why.
[01:59:49] Because when the draft was read in front
[01:59:51] of the Continental Congress, remember
[01:59:55] every line had to be voted on and it had
[01:59:58] to be unanimous.
[02:00:00] When they got to this part out of the 13
[02:00:03] colonies, remember all these colonies
[02:00:05] were all racist. All we want to do is
[02:00:08] ent trap and enslave the black man or
[02:00:10] anybody who isn't white and just get
[02:00:13] rich.
[02:00:15] Out of the 13 colonies, how many voted
[02:00:18] against this paragraph?
[02:00:24] Two.
[02:00:25] That means 11 said, "Stop slavery right
[02:00:28] now." Two.
[02:00:32] Georgia
[02:00:33] and South Carolina where the Civil War
[02:00:36] started.
[02:00:40] Again, are we a perfect country? No. But
[02:00:43] that's not the point.
[02:00:44] read our constitution in order to in
[02:00:48] order to perfect or to create a more
[02:00:51] perfect nation. We're not perfect. We'll
[02:00:54] never be perfect. We're human beings.
[02:00:58] Just try to be better than you were
[02:01:00] yesterday in your own life and as a
[02:01:03] nation. Just try to be better than you
[02:01:05] were yesterday. And know that people
[02:01:08] have given their lives.
[02:01:13] This is a piece of Abraham Lincoln's
[02:01:14] coat.
[02:01:16] Blood stained. I have the cuff from his
[02:01:19] collar. Blood stained. They treated him
[02:01:21] like he was like he was a circus animal
[02:01:25] when he was dying. He was sick.
[02:01:30] But I I really believe that he knew he
[02:01:34] would have to give up his life. He
[02:01:36] didn't want to, but I think he knew.
[02:01:40] That day he and his wife spent the day
[02:01:42] talking about what are they going to do
[02:01:44] after the war.
[02:01:46] One of the last things he said to her
[02:01:47] was, "Honey,
[02:01:49] I have it. I think I know what I want to
[02:01:51] do.
[02:01:53] Let's go to the Holy Land.
[02:01:57] I want to walk
[02:02:01] in the footprints of my savior."
[02:02:07] and John Wils Booth took this key, the
[02:02:10] key to box number seven at Ford's
[02:02:13] Theater, opened the door, took a gun,
[02:02:16] and shot him. Shot him in the back of
[02:02:18] the head,
[02:02:20] expecting what? What did he want?
[02:02:25] He wanted anger. He wanted vengeance. He
[02:02:28] needed people to hate each other. He was
[02:02:31] from the South. The South just
[02:02:33] surrendered. He needed the North to be
[02:02:35] so angry that they would go back into
[02:02:38] battle and this time maybe the South
[02:02:40] would be victorious.
[02:02:43] That's what that was all about.
[02:02:47] You want to know what Abraham Lincoln
[02:02:50] what really
[02:02:52] Booth tried to kill him one other time
[02:02:55] at the second inaugural address. I have
[02:02:57] the only picture of Abraham Lincoln and
[02:02:59] John Wils Booth in the same picture.
[02:03:02] Lincoln is blurry because he's moving
[02:03:04] giving the second inaugural address.
[02:03:08] Booth is perfectly clear. He's up in the
[02:03:11] corner of the Capitol and he is just
[02:03:13] staring holes through Abraham Lincoln.
[02:03:17] Because in the end of his second
[02:03:19] inaugural address, what does he say?
[02:03:22] What does he say? Let us bind the wounds
[02:03:25] of this nation.
[02:03:28] Let's take care of the widow and the
[02:03:30] orphan.
[02:03:33] with charity toward all and malice
[02:03:36] toward none. When the South
[02:03:40] When the South said, "We surrender,"
[02:03:45] Grant wrote, "I have the surrender for
[02:03:48] Lee, what should I do with him?" The
[02:03:52] response was,
[02:03:54] "Take your foot off his neck and help
[02:03:57] him up.
[02:04:02] This is there's four copies
[02:04:05] of the uh
[02:04:09] of the uh Gettysburg address made by
[02:04:12] Abraham Lincoln after he gave the
[02:04:13] Gettysburg address because he just wrote
[02:04:15] it on a piece of paper and a reporter
[02:04:18] from New York happened to be there and
[02:04:20] he said, "Mr. President, that was a
[02:04:21] great speech. Can I get a copy of it?"
[02:04:22] And he said, "Sure." Gave him a copy of
[02:04:24] it. guy went back to New York, typed it
[02:04:26] up, put it in print and threw the
[02:04:28] original away.
[02:04:30] Yeah. I was in the White House in the
[02:04:32] Lincoln bedroom with President Trump and
[02:04:34] he said, "You want to see the Gettysburg
[02:04:36] Address?" I said, "I would." He said,
[02:04:39] "Come on with me." We went in and he
[02:04:43] said, "This is the only copy."
[02:04:46] I said, "Actually, Mr. president's not.
[02:04:54] Uh
[02:04:55] he made four copies to raise money to
[02:04:58] help widows and orphans. He sold them
[02:05:00] for charity. There's two of them that
[02:05:02] say this nation under God and two of
[02:05:04] them that just say this nation. Why? I
[02:05:09] don't know. Just to make it fun today, I
[02:05:11] guess.
[02:05:14] But what he said here was the same.
[02:05:18] We're here engaged
[02:05:20] in a great battle to decide whether or
[02:05:23] not a country that is based on these
[02:05:25] principles that man can rule himself,
[02:05:28] that he doesn't need a dictator, an
[02:05:31] authoritarian, a king, but he can rule
[02:05:34] himself if that country based on those
[02:05:37] ideas or any country that has these
[02:05:40] ideas, can it survive? That's what's
[02:05:42] being decided today
[02:05:45] and it's being decided again right now
[02:05:50] and you are the ones that are going to
[02:05:52] make the choice.
[02:05:57] He goes on to say we can't really
[02:06:00] dedicate this land. We can't consecrate
[02:06:03] it
[02:06:05] because what they did here, what they
[02:06:07] died for, their blood is in the soil.
[02:06:11] They already did it. Now it is up to us,
[02:06:15] the living,
[02:06:17] to honor that.
[02:06:20] Th that went through my head for days
[02:06:23] after Charlie died.
[02:06:26] People talked about building a statue of
[02:06:28] Charlie where he was shot.
[02:06:31] I think that's only because they wanted
[02:06:32] to cover up the trap doors where the
[02:06:34] Jewish snipers were shooting at him.
[02:06:42] [Applause]
[02:06:50] God, I hate being a Christian sometimes.
[02:06:54] Uh,
[02:06:56] that's not what Charlie would have
[02:06:57] wanted. And we can't do anything to that
[02:06:59] ground. We can't.
[02:07:03] It's our job now to do exactly what
[02:07:06] you've already been doing.
[02:07:09] We honor Charlie.
[02:07:11] I have a new mantra lately.
[02:07:17] For Christ, for country.
[02:07:35] Gosh darn it. I only have six minutes
[02:07:37] left for questions.
[02:07:40] Oh well,
[02:07:43] if you want to take six minutes of
[02:07:45] questions or however long they will
[02:07:47] allow, I'll take some questions. But I
[02:07:49] just want to leave you with this one
[02:07:50] thing. If you take anything from
[02:07:53] tonight, take this.
[02:07:56] I know who you are.
[02:07:59] You know, the greatest generation of
[02:08:00] World War II, they called him the
[02:08:01] greatest generation. You know what the
[02:08:03] people said about the greatest
[02:08:04] generation as we were in the Great
[02:08:05] Depression? These people, you know, we
[02:08:08] had to have horses. They now use
[02:08:10] tractors to plow. They had we never had
[02:08:14] refrigeration. They just go to their
[02:08:15] their refrigerator now to get milk.
[02:08:17] They're weak. They'll never The country
[02:08:20] is lost. They'll never be able to
[02:08:23] withstand any of the trials that are
[02:08:25] ahead. That's the greatest generation
[02:08:28] that saved the world from
[02:08:30] authoritarianism and Nazis.
[02:08:33] That was what their parents said about
[02:08:35] them. So don't listen to anybody. Don't
[02:08:39] listen to anybody that says you don't
[02:08:43] have it in you. You do have it in you.
[02:08:47] You were born at this time for a reason.
[02:08:50] You were in exactly the right place with
[02:08:53] exactly the right baggage with exactly
[02:08:55] the right skills.
[02:08:58] Hone them. Put on the full armor of God
[02:09:02] because we are in a spiritual battle.
[02:09:05] And I am proud to be on your side.
[02:09:19] Okay, let's take some questions. I got
[02:09:20] to tell you, I got some really cool
[02:09:21] things. I got a rat with a bomb in its
[02:09:24] butt. I have This is the prototype core
[02:09:26] for the nuclear bomb that we didn't.
[02:09:31] This is the Nazi let me measure your
[02:09:33] head thing.
[02:09:36] We'll do it some other time.
[02:09:39] My My wife loves it. She's like, "Yeah,
[02:09:41] man. We got the Nazi measuring the head
[02:09:43] thing for some reason."
[02:09:46] Okay. Yes. Hey, Glad. I'm a big fan.
[02:09:48] I've been watching you for a while. Um,
[02:09:50] but I have some questions about religion
[02:09:52] for you.
[02:09:52] >> Yes.
[02:09:52] >> So, you mentioned earlier that you were
[02:09:54] a Mormon.
[02:09:55] >> Yes. And No, I didn't. I left that out
[02:09:57] because I know how popular it is.
[02:10:02] >> Well, anyways, I was going to ask you
[02:10:03] why you chose um to be a member of that
[02:10:06] specific um religion over another
[02:10:10] Christian denomination like Lutheranism
[02:10:12] or Catholicism. Um, I don't happen to
[02:10:15] believe in the Oh gosh.
[02:10:21] Why? Why?
[02:10:25] Let me be a pariah.
[02:10:28] I don't happen to believe in the Nikian
[02:10:30] creed. I don't believe in three in one.
[02:10:32] I studied the way that was put together
[02:10:35] at the point of a spear. God does not
[02:10:38] work that way. Every single word was
[02:10:41] chosen to satisfy one other person. I
[02:10:44] read the Bible and I see the Holy
[02:10:47] Spirit, Jesus in the water, the voice of
[02:10:50] God. And it to me, it doesn't matter if
[02:10:52] you don't believe it. That's fine. I
[02:10:54] think you're Christian. People don't
[02:10:56] think I'm a Christian because I happen
[02:10:57] to believe different things, but I serve
[02:10:59] Christ as as best I can. It's what I
[02:11:02] believe. It's what I believe. More
[02:11:05] importantly,
[02:11:07] the the
[02:11:13] in the end I look for the fruits of the
[02:11:15] labor.
[02:11:17] Judge people by their fruits. I was with
[02:11:20] Billy Graham and I won't tell you who
[02:11:23] was in the room when he asked me to
[02:11:25] share my testimony on Jesus Christ. And
[02:11:28] I shared it with him. But before I did,
[02:11:32] somebody else in the room said, "Uh uh
[02:11:33] uh Billy, remember he's a Mormon."
[02:11:39] Billy knew. He looked at gave him the
[02:11:41] look of death and said, "I'm aware of
[02:11:43] that." Then he looked at me and he held
[02:11:45] my hands and he said, "Tell me your
[02:11:47] testimony of Jesus Christ."
[02:11:50] I did for about 15 minutes and we both
[02:11:52] were crying a lot. I cry a lot and he
[02:11:54] was old, so he probably
[02:12:00] At the end, he held my face
[02:12:04] and then he looked to the other person
[02:12:06] in the room and said,
[02:12:08] "He sure sounds Christian to me."
[02:12:12] Judge people by the fruits of their
[02:12:14] labor, especially now. I don't
[02:12:18] understand why we would bash each
[02:12:21] other's religion. I will stand with
[02:12:24] anyone, anyone who accepts Jesus as
[02:12:28] their savior, who is trying to be a good
[02:12:32] person, who's trying to build the
[02:12:34] kingdom of God, who knows what time it
[02:12:36] is. Let God sort us out at the end. But
[02:12:39] right now, you are my friend. You will
[02:12:42] always be my friend. I will always love
[02:12:45] you as a brother.
[02:12:47] I think we just need more of that.
[02:12:50] That's what I found. others don't.
[02:12:57] By the way, thank you for the respectful
[02:12:59] way of asking that question.
[02:13:03] >> Yes.
[02:13:04] >> Um my name is Graham and my question was
[02:13:06] on something you said earlier. Um and is
[02:13:10] how do you understand and learn from
[02:13:11] someone's opinion if it completely
[02:13:13] contradicts what God has said through
[02:13:15] his word?
[02:13:18] >> Can you give me an example? um
[02:13:22] like someone who is part of the LGBTQ
[02:13:26] community, how do you like understand
[02:13:27] and learn from their opinion?
[02:13:30] >> Um I think this is where empathy comes
[02:13:31] in. I think empathy is really
[02:13:34] underrated.
[02:13:36] Uh I I have I have gay employees that I
[02:13:40] have personally hired. I have many gay
[02:13:42] friends. I don't agree with the
[02:13:44] lifestyle. I know what I read in the
[02:13:48] Bible. I know what I read,
[02:13:51] but I see I Here's where I The L and the
[02:13:54] G I'm cool. The B
[02:13:59] make a choice.
[02:14:07] We all have to narrow our dating pool
[02:14:10] down. You do, too.
[02:14:14] I don't think you're born confused. I
[02:14:17] don't know. Oh, I kind of like this on
[02:14:18] Tuesday and this on Wednesday. I do
[02:14:21] happen to believe because I know people
[02:14:24] who are gay who have been they're just
[02:14:26] they tear themselves apart. I mean, back
[02:14:29] in my day when I was growing up, you
[02:14:31] didn't want to be gay. You were a
[02:14:33] pariah. You had to live your whole life
[02:14:36] undercover. You could you could never be
[02:14:38] who you are out loud. Who would choose?
[02:14:41] I want to be a pariah. Oh god, that's
[02:14:43] what I did with my faith. I'm sorry.
[02:14:45] Maybe that doesn't work. Nobody chooses
[02:14:48] to be a pariah.
[02:14:50] I believe
[02:14:54] that maybe they're born that way. I
[02:14:56] don't know. I believe I'd never use this
[02:14:59] and I'm not comparing, but in my life, I
[02:15:02] think my genetic code for depression and
[02:15:06] alcoholism,
[02:15:08] I mean,
[02:15:11] suicide after suicide, and I was there.
[02:15:13] And I know that's a chemical thing. And
[02:15:15] I think that's genetically bred into me.
[02:15:19] Not to compare the two, but it's still
[02:15:22] my choice. It's still my choice.
[02:15:27] I have empathy.
[02:15:30] I'm not anybody's judge. God's going to
[02:15:33] be. And this is something. Let me give
[02:15:36] you this.
[02:15:39] I just want you to think about this. All
[02:15:41] the people that we don't want to talk
[02:15:42] about, all the people that we think we
[02:15:44] hate, all the people that we're so mad
[02:15:46] at, if we truly are their brother and
[02:15:49] sister, when we die
[02:15:53] and we get up to dad, I know exactly
[02:15:56] what I would say to my children. Wait,
[02:15:59] wait, wait. Tell me of this again. You
[02:16:02] You left your sister behind. Yeah, Dad.
[02:16:06] She was unreasonable, so you just gave
[02:16:08] up on her. You just stopped talking to
[02:16:10] her. You just made her a pariah. You
[02:16:14] said horrible things about her. You
[02:16:16] didn't love her. You didn't always show
[02:16:19] her compassion and love.
[02:16:23] I don't recognize you.
[02:16:26] That's what I would say as a dad. And I
[02:16:28] know he's more perfect than I am.
[02:16:32] Everyone is my brother and sister. I
[02:16:36] will not judge them. I will love them. I
[02:16:39] will I I I will show them compassion and
[02:16:43] empathy because everyone deserves that.
[02:16:48] Thank you.
[02:16:55] >> My name is Jeb Ba. I'm an aviation
[02:16:57] student here at the University of North
[02:16:58] Dakota. And I really liked your point,
[02:17:00] question everything. And one question I
[02:17:01] have for you, Glenn, is a lot of young
[02:17:04] American and conservatives uh are
[02:17:06] starting to notice that Israel has an
[02:17:08] overwhelming lobby over the United
[02:17:10] States government and we have
[02:17:12] unconditionally supported them. We have
[02:17:14] fought their wars in the Middle East. BB
[02:17:15] Netanyahu came to our Congress in the
[02:17:17] '9s, told us a list of countries that we
[02:17:19] need to take out. Some were Syria, Iraq,
[02:17:21] Iran, uh Libya, etc. Through those wars,
[02:17:24] we have lost trillions of dollars. We
[02:17:27] have lost American servicemen and most
[02:17:30] the worst part I think about it is the
[02:17:32] fact that millions of refugees are
[02:17:33] coming to the western world through
[02:17:35] America and Europe are degrading our
[02:17:37] cities destroying our western values. Um
[02:17:40] the USS
[02:17:41] >> Wait, can you if you have more let me
[02:17:43] just because that's a long list and I
[02:17:45] have a very short attention span. So let
[02:17:47] me just answer some of those here and
[02:17:48] then you can continue
[02:17:51] your encyclopedia of questions and I
[02:17:53] appreciate it. Uh let's see. Uh, Israel
[02:17:57] has a lobby. Yes. And you know who has a
[02:17:59] bigger lobby all around the world? The
[02:18:00] United States of America. It is in each
[02:18:03] country's best interest to lobby. Don't
[02:18:06] blame Israel. Blame our own politicians
[02:18:09] if they act upon it outside of the
[02:18:12] United States interest because I can
[02:18:14] tell you we're lobbying everybody else.
[02:18:17] And they will
[02:18:28] >> Charlie was starting to notice about the
[02:18:30] Israel.
[02:18:30] >> Could I answer my question? Could I
[02:18:32] answer the question, please?
[02:18:34] >> Uh,
[02:18:36] first of all, I'm an American
[02:18:38] first and always.
[02:18:48] But the reason we have refugees all
[02:18:52] around the world is not Israel. It is a
[02:18:55] global system of people trying to take
[02:18:58] down the west. They are trying to hold
[02:19:02] your peace for a minute. This is why I
[02:19:05] said surely I can't do this.
[02:19:11] What is happening is we have
[02:19:15] we have uh Islamists
[02:19:18] occupying our countries.
[02:19:21] The next war that we will that you will
[02:19:25] face, you know what our first foreign
[02:19:26] war was
[02:19:28] against the Barbarie pirates. They were
[02:19:30] the Islamic uh pirates. Okay. Jefferson
[02:19:35] when he ended that war because nobody
[02:19:36] had the stomach for it. He said, "I got
[02:19:38] to warn you. Everyone should read the
[02:19:40] Quran." He actually had a printed I have
[02:19:42] a copy of it. Printed Quran printed for
[02:19:45] Americans to read. He didn't put out
[02:19:46] little teeny clips. He wanted every
[02:19:49] American to read the Quran. He said,
[02:19:51] "Because I'm telling you now, this is
[02:19:54] our first foreign war, but if we don't
[02:19:57] pay attention, I guarantee it will be
[02:20:00] our last foreign war." That is coming
[02:20:04] whether you like it or not. That is a
[02:20:07] plan welllaid out. And yes, George Soros
[02:20:12] is big part of it. I was the man who
[02:20:16] taught America about George Soros.
[02:20:21] Um,
[02:20:26] one thing, one last thing.
[02:20:30] Here's my problem with this whole thing.
[02:20:35] Is it okay to set babies on fire? Is it
[02:20:38] okay to rape babies? Is it okay to kill
[02:20:40] people and have glee? Hear me out.
[02:20:44] >> Oh, dear God.
[02:20:50] Dear God Almighty,
[02:20:53] I will pray for you.
[02:20:56] [Applause]
[02:21:05] Uh, where was I? Uh, oh, I don't have a
[02:21:10] problem with people saying I have a
[02:21:12] problem with Israel because I'm not
[02:21:14] fighting Israel's wars. I don't want to
[02:21:16] fight Israel's war. I don't want to
[02:21:18] supply troops or arms. You can buy it.
[02:21:20] We'll sell it to you, but we're not
[02:21:22] going to fight your war. That's your
[02:21:24] war. But I believe Israel has a right to
[02:21:27] exist. I believe Jews have a right to
[02:21:30] live and not be hunted down.
[02:21:34] I know the history of the Middle East.
[02:21:36] They've been going through this forever.
[02:21:38] And even if we have a peace deal, I got
[02:21:40] news for you, gang. It's going to come
[02:21:41] undone at some point anyway. We're going
[02:21:43] to be facing the same thing over and
[02:21:44] over and over again because that's what
[02:21:45] it says in the Bible. It's going to
[02:21:47] happen. It's been going on for thousands
[02:21:49] of years. So, I have no problem with you
[02:21:53] not liking what Israel is doing because
[02:21:55] I can understand it. I'm not asking for
[02:21:58] support on that.
[02:22:00] I am asking that you recognize that you
[02:22:04] are dealing with evil when you're
[02:22:07] talking about Hamas, not the Palestinian
[02:22:09] people. Hamas.
[02:22:17] All right. So, Israel has lobbies for
[02:22:20] all the countries around the world. They
[02:22:22] have lobbies for New Zealand, England,
[02:22:23] France. Um, none of the no Muslim has
[02:22:26] any lobbies. Um, another thing you're
[02:22:28] talking about the stuff they don't teach
[02:22:29] at school. You're talking about one
[02:22:32] thing they don't teach in school. They
[02:22:33] don't teach about the USS Liberty where
[02:22:36] Israel literally came blew up an
[02:22:37] American ship because they want us to
[02:22:39] get in their war with uh Egypt. And they
[02:22:41] don't teach that in school. I mean, I'm
[02:22:43] just saying.
[02:22:44] >> Okay. Thank you. Thank you for your
[02:22:46] question,
[02:22:48] guys. Let me just let me leave you on
[02:22:50] this because I am I turn I'd like to
[02:22:53] turn this around so you believe me. It
[02:22:55] says please wrap this up.
[02:22:57] Uh
[02:22:59] uh I I'll take one more question, but
[02:23:01] let me just say this.
[02:23:03] >> I don't really I we must not divide.
[02:23:10] We must not divide ourselves. We cannot
[02:23:14] divide. I don't care if you like Israel.
[02:23:17] I really don't.
[02:23:19] Please recognize there is good and there
[02:23:21] is evil. I'm not saying the Jews are
[02:23:23] good or you don't have to believe any of
[02:23:25] that. I do, but you don't have to. But
[02:23:28] recognize evil when you see evil. And
[02:23:32] what is happening with Islamists is
[02:23:36] evil. It is
[02:23:40] beyond that you can have beyond that.
[02:23:44] Let's just not divide ourselves. We need
[02:23:47] everyone on deck. Everyone. Last
[02:23:51] question.
[02:23:51] >> Hi, sir. It's an honor. Uh I have family
[02:23:53] that have been very longtime listeners
[02:23:55] of viewers and um it's just crazy that
[02:23:58] you're here, you know, and um I was
[02:24:00] going to come up here and ask you about
[02:24:02] Columbus Day and re renaming it to
[02:24:04] Indigenous People's Day. But after that
[02:24:06] conversation, I just want to ask you, I
[02:24:08] completely agree with you that there's a
[02:24:11] ton of Islamist evil in the world and
[02:24:13] they are a bigger enemy to the United
[02:24:15] States than Israel will ever ever ever
[02:24:17] will be.
[02:24:19] But I have a question. Why is there this
[02:24:21] societal taboo around criticisms of
[02:24:25] Israel?
[02:24:26] >> You're standing here in a theater
[02:24:28] voicing this. Nobody's going to arrest
[02:24:29] you. Nobody's going to say anything. I'm
[02:24:31] going to answer you. We're having a
[02:24:33] great conversation. Where is the taboo?
[02:24:36] >> The taboo is for example, APAC doesn't
[02:24:39] have to register as a foreign lobby, but
[02:24:41] like the Australia lobby does. And it
[02:24:44] just
[02:24:45] >> and that should be changed. I
[02:24:46] >> that should be corrected. Look, I I I am
[02:24:49] not going to say Israel should have any
[02:24:51] special privileges. None. Everyone
[02:24:55] should play by the rules. Exactly the
[02:24:58] same rules. Period. If they're not, that
[02:25:02] should be corrected. But let's correct
[02:25:06] those things. Let's not talk about
[02:25:08] snipers behind Charlie.
[02:25:11] >> Agreed.
[02:25:12] >> Good. Thank you.
[02:25:17] I want to leave you on a positive. I
[02:25:19] want to leave you on a positive. I
[02:25:21] happen to have Superman's cape and his
[02:25:23] outfit, but it was on the mannequin and
[02:25:26] I didn't want to undress it. I feel
[02:25:27] weird. So, I brought this.
[02:25:30] This is from Captain America, the first
[02:25:32] movie. Um, I wanted to share this with
[02:25:35] you for one reason.
[02:25:37] Do you know why Superman was
[02:25:42] drawn in the first place? There's two
[02:25:44] kids. I think it was Cleveland, Ohio.
[02:25:48] Two kids that saw what was happening in
[02:25:50] the world and they were freaked out of
[02:25:52] their mind.
[02:25:54] How do we solve this? There's nothing
[02:25:55] big enough. Nobody can solve this. We
[02:25:58] need a Superman. So to calm the younger
[02:26:01] brother down the older brother, and it's
[02:26:03] still on the wall, I helped save the
[02:26:05] house. It's still on the wall. You peel
[02:26:08] off the wallpaper. There was the
[02:26:10] original Superman drawn by an older
[02:26:12] brother for his younger brother to help
[02:26:14] him sleep at night. Don't worry, there's
[02:26:17] a man of steel out there. I have to tell
[02:26:20] you, there is no man of steel.
[02:26:23] We We always get in these situations and
[02:26:25] we look for superheroes. There are no
[02:26:28] superheroes.
[02:26:30] There's you. There's me.
[02:26:33] You are the ones that will save the
[02:26:35] world. Now you can choose to do the next
[02:26:40] right thing to the best ability of your
[02:26:44] understanding.
[02:26:46] You do that and you will be Superman.
[02:26:50] Superman wasn't needed in the end except
[02:26:53] for children. American soldiers went in
[02:26:57] and fought the war, fought it with honor
[02:26:59] and decency and freed the world. Let's
[02:27:02] be those people again. Thank you.
