Starting point is 00:00:00 My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You've got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as much.
Starting point is 00:00:30 many kids as possible. Go start a turning point U.S.A. College chapter. Go start a turning point you would say high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Lord, use me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold. leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
Starting point is 00:01:09 Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. I'm really looking forward to this, Blake. We have a lot to get to because this is Charlie, in his own words. And actually, Blake, it was sort of your idea to do this. I think you and some of the team.
Starting point is 00:01:24 So why don't you set the table for us? Yeah, well, I think it's pretty clear. what this year means for all of us, what, I guess I would just remind people that despite what happened in September, this was a tremendous year. One of the biggest tragedies about losing Charlie when we did is that we lost him at his absolute peak. He really was at the height of his accomplishment, the height of his influence, the height of his impact on the world. And if there's anything positive that came out of the horrendous
Starting point is 00:02:02 things, the horrendous events of September, it's that that really ensured that his message will be immortal. He will always be as we saw him in 2025. We'll never have to see him get old. We'll never have to see him lose his fastball. We'll never have to see Charlie mess up, really he's just he's always going to be charlie in 2025 and i think the best way to remember him is to look back on those events of 2025 and we just have a whole roster of videos and we encourage everyone to email us uh free to met charlie kirk with some of their favorite memories and we'll try to get to them but with that in mind should we just uh should we just start rolling through it andrew i yeah i i i love that the first one my first one on our clip sheet here is greenland and i will
Starting point is 00:02:52 never forget when charlie was like hey uh i need you to host the show i was like okay sure what's up and he's like i got to go to greenland and i was like of course of course you do and now you got to put everyone none of us had any idea that it was so secret oh it was just super secret and you know i think mike you got to go with him but the you know because you got to go with somebody but the the funny thing is is you know trump's saying hey we want to buy greenland or we want to bring Greenland in, and I think they still harbor those desires. But they sent an envoy with, it was Sergio Gore, Charlie Kirk, Don Jr., and Charlie, in true Charlie fashion, recorded the memory, 157.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Quite a day here in Greenland, Sergio, here at Trump Force One. Don is over here. Friendliest people. They love America. And we'll see what happens. Make Greenland great. again. And the sun is setting. It's only 2.30 in the afternoon. The sun is setting. It's just one of those things. And it's very, very cold here. And as we kind of reflect on a great time here in Greenland, Duke Greenland. More soon. He really liked, he really liked Greenland. He was talking, he would talk about how beautiful it was. I think he, I think he, that you'd find in the fields and when the snow would melt. He just liked, I think he just liked that raw, open space beauty.
Starting point is 00:04:20 You know, Charlie and I would disagree about this. He really loves, he hates high rises, he hated urban masses. So I think he really liked the idea of this place that was the size of, you know, a continent essentially and had 50,000 people on it. And I think he really liked the limitless possibilities that that implied with it. And, you know, he remained very attached to that Greenland idea all the way. He loved the locals there. He actually did.
Starting point is 00:04:47 And he talked about it, 158. We are here in Greenland with Don Jr. Everyone wants to be on TikTok. What do you guys think of America? Great, great. Love America and you love Trump? Yes, of course. The youth of Greenland, Don.
Starting point is 00:05:00 We're hearing a lot of it, guys. We're hearing a lot of it. And you guys all watch TikTok, right? I'll follow you. Oh, thank you. Live from Greenland. It's funny. I actually, you know, we had Don on the podcast at Amfest, so he came and did a private podcast with us,
Starting point is 00:05:17 which was phenomenal. But when he was walking out, We talked about the Greenland trip. And Don said it was something he thinks about, you know, pretty often. And there's a, by the way, there's a bunch of that footage that nobody has ever seen before that's going to be coming out, which will be pretty cool. I can't say more than that, but there was a camera crew that captured a lot of footage that has not been released. So then in January, we also had the inauguration, Blake. And this was Charlie and Erica at the inauguration ball.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Hours before Trump would take the oath of office, 159. Hours away from President Donald Trump taking the oath of office. Say hi, Don. What's going on? Got Judge Janine, Alina, Mr. Sergio, Erica. And as we are here, we're waiting for some people to take the stage. Who's taking the stage, Charlie? Well, the village people.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Yeah, no idea. Let's see. What happens? Are they in the village or are they on their way? I got to go figure out what's going on. Let me go check. that was that was so funny I man I remember that was all highly memorable but I think for Charlie his favorite moment he enjoyed the ball he enjoyed the festivities but he did speak repeatedly that it was very meaningful to him remember it was the inauguration a lot of people were planning to go it was going to be a big outside event and then it was a deep freeze it was five degrees out or something like that it was very bitterly cold so they moved it indoor into the rotunda. They didn't want anyone having their nose freeze off while waiting to see the
Starting point is 00:06:53 president. I think that was probably the right move. And it really speaks to the esteem the president had for Charlie and what he did to help bring about his victory that with so many congressmen, such a limited number of people able to fit into that rotunda. It's not that big of a room that they did give a seat to Charlie and Erica. And so we have a clip of that. Let's play 160. I remember. Yeah. I remember that well because there was a big brouhaha afterwards from some of the Democrat congressmen that were upset that Charlie got a closer seat to the president than they did.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I think there was, I think there was some upset from Republican Congress. No, I heard. Yes. Yeah. Get a grip. It was hilarious. And it was like, who was it? It was Senator, oh gosh, I'm blanking on it.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Senators swooped in to defend Charlie, put it that way. And they basically said, well, when you do as much to elect a president as Charlie Kirk, then maybe you can get a better seat. Exactly. Exactly. You know, the inauguration, too, I want to pause there. That ball that we had that Turning Point hosted, it was absolutely swamped with people. I was told it was the hottest ticket in town. Everybody wanted to get to that ball. It was one of the hottest rooms in town. When you have that many people crammed in? Oh, God, I sweated a bit. Yeah, it was something we've never done. We ended up having a total meltdown in the coat room. I'll never forget at the end of the night when everybody was trying to finally go home. I ended up running into the coat room trying to find coats and all our staff went in because the hotel staff completely swamped. And whatever their filing system, it was terrible.
Starting point is 00:09:01 So we were actually like escorting guests back into the room saying, what does your coat look like? It was a total nightmare. But the fact that Turning Point got to host a ball and the vice president came, which is by the way, why Charlie was checking on the village people, because we had to hold the village people off. so long because Vice President Vance, you know, on those nights gets delayed because he's got to do a few different stops. So he was delayed getting to the ball. So we delayed the village people going up. And that was a whole thing behind the scenes as well. I mean, it's all the, all the memories, Blake, it's, it's hard to, it's hard to fully appreciate it. But here we mentioned J.D. Vance. So let's play a TikTok of J.D. and Charlie flying on Air Force 2. That would be 161. Just got a ride from our amazing vice president. Say hi, J.D. Hey, guys, when you get elected vice president, they give you this sweet jacket. So it was all worth it, but we're having fun in D.C. stay safe out there. And this plane. Thanks, man. Thanks, everyone.
Starting point is 00:10:01 That is a sweet jacket. I should become vice president. That's next step for you. We'll get to work on that in 2026. And I will say, Charlie was actually J.D. Vance's first guest on Air Force 2, which was pretty special. Hey, Andrew Colvette here. Do you want to own a home? The time to act is now. For the first time in years, buyers finally have the upper hand. There's more inventory, more negotiating power, and less competition.
Starting point is 00:10:31 But this window of opportunity won't stay open for long. As soon as the Fed cuts rates, buyer demand is expected to spike driving prices up and giving sellers the advantage once again. With peak home buying season in full swing, now is your moment to secure the right home on your terms. Don't wait for the market to shift. I have done this before, and you don't want to do it. Reach out today to get approved for mortgage financing with our dear, dear friends, Andrew and Todd. They are godly men and good men. I trust them, just like Charlie did.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Hear him talk about Andrew and Todd in his own words. Go to Andrew and Todd.com or call AAA, AAA, 1,172. These are the guys that I trust. With 40 years of experience, they really are the experts, and they make it easy because they keep everything in house. Call AAA, 3,0008, 172, or go to Andrew and Todd.com. That is Andrew and Todd. Blake, you have an email about Charlie's beloved bears. Yeah, yeah. Before we continued, I just thought Michael sent us an email and he said he watches the show every day. He misses Charlie like a lost friend and he wanted to mention something that we don't touch on. And there's a reason I don't touch on this. He says Charlie was a big Chicago Bears fan. And he notes, I remember just before Charlie's murder, Charlie was on air lamenting his beloved Bears.
Starting point is 00:11:48 performance and that's right the bears they had a bad start to this season charlie was optimistic with their new coach he thought they'd be better but they looked they looked like the same old bears and michael is right the bears have since then gone on quite the streak they have won the nfc north they beat during am fest i avoided events to go watch the packers play the bears and they choked in catastrophic fashion so the bears are going to the playoff Yeah, the bears have got some big wins. I agree. The bears are doing great.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Charlie did not like. Charlie's dunking on me from heaven. Yes, exactly. And his ducks are doing well, too. So we're going to keep an eye on that. We'll keep mentioning it. Let's get some more clips here. This was, Charlie was a huge fan of Elon Musk.
Starting point is 00:12:41 He just genuinely was. He loved Elon Musk as an entrepreneur, that he built physical things. He was very excited that Elon was. in the administration and helped working on Doge so much so that he had us make Doge shirts at the Charlie Kirk Show and much talked about Doge at Turning Point, which people have taken to mean so many crazy things. But it was just Charlie just loved Elon Musk and he respected him. And they talked for hours. They had dinners together after the election, after Trump won, got to know him personally. And that was a great, a great joy for him. 164. He shows off the Maga Red Tesla at the White House,
Starting point is 00:13:18 164. So the president has a new car. Look at that beautiful red maga Tesla. It's beautiful. Everybody support Elon Musk. We won't put up with domestic terrorism. That's the president's new car. What do you guys think? Drop a comment of the red mega Tesla. And Blake, we've told we said it before in the show, but when Musk and President Trump had that falling out, Charlie made, he called his shot and he said by Christmas they will be having dinner and he was it was actually ahead of schedule and there were a lot of people there was a lot of temptation to really some people were really beating up on Musk when that was
Starting point is 00:13:57 reaching its peak and Charlie was emphatic he said one I'm not going to first he said I'm just not going to do it because I am grateful to Elon for what he did he said this is right after I started working with you guys he said Musk bought X or bought Twitter and he said this is the most important purchase by a private person in American history. He just said it, and I thought that sounds wacky, but he was correct.
Starting point is 00:14:24 It was hugely important, not just the election, but for American society, for free speech worldwide. It really set the tone that the era of cancel culture, the era of censorship is not going to win out. And he was very grateful for that. And I know he was privately messaging Elon about that, just saying, you know, whatever goes I'm grateful for that. And he was very optimistic that the president and Elon would reconcile and continue to work together. And we've seen evidence that that's the case. Just in the past week, Elon has really been pushing this Somali fraud story.
Starting point is 00:14:59 And I think Charlie's willingness to repair that relationship played a big role in that. Well, and I will say that at the memorial, I posted a picture that kind of went viral of Elon and Trump up in the press box watching the memorial. play out and i said i hope they're saying to one another for charlie and about an hour later elon posted that same image basically uh one it was a little more flattering of him which is fair that and he said for charlie and it was so it was a it was a really beautiful moment i want to play this next clip this is 166 c k at b lm plaza it's being torn apart in dc this was a very full circle moment for the show for charlie we the the charlie kirk show really blew up uh in size and audience numbers during BLM. And Charlie just went off on it. I remember he called me and he said,
Starting point is 00:15:48 I'm going to go hard. I feel like I need to go hard. This needs to stop. And I said, I'm 100% behind you. Whatever happens happens. Like, this needs to stop. Let's do it. And you fast forward to March of 2025 and BLM Plaza is getting dismantled in Washington, D.C. with a new president and new leadership. And Charlie was right there to watch at 166. Hey, everybody. Live from Black Lives Matter Plaza, well, it's not called that anymore. As you can see, the working cruiser out, and it is the end of this mass race hysteria happening in our country. This right here, by the way, that was the church they tried to burn down, if you remember. The cruiser out here removing this two-block long mural of Black Lives Matter Plaza out here in the streets of Washington, D.C. It is quite
Starting point is 00:16:41 the effort. They have to actually get down to the street itself to get rid of all of the nonsense here. Make America great again. Getting rid of BLM plaza. I love that he said ending race hysteria because Charlie unfairly gets labeled as a racist, as we sort of all do. But really what he was raging against, and this was one of his central themes, was this weaponization of racial grievances that was tearing the country apart. Still is in some ways, but certainly made huge strides and the election of Donald Trump was a full circle moment that I will never forget. And Charlie recognized it for what it was and he celebrated it because Charlie was not a doomer. He was optimistic about the future of this country. One thing that was really happening in 2025,
Starting point is 00:17:33 Charlie was getting on less and less likely podcasts. And I think a real marker that was super interesting and some people really did not want us to do it was Charlie went on the first he was the first guest on Gavin Newsom's podcast and I say people really debated it the and Charlie debated it because obviously there's do you want to go on a liberal show he'd done that a few times but this is a literal left-wing politician but the biggest thing people would say is Gavin Newsom clearly wants to run for president and if Charlie goes on a a show, are you basically bringing into being Gavin Newsom rebranding himself as the big foe of MAGA, the big foe of President Trump, are you making it so he's able to run for president in 2028?
Starting point is 00:18:22 And I will say Charlie's thinking was, somebody is going to go on this show. And I don't want it to be someone besides me because I think he was very aware. I think the line we use is we don't want to midwife President Newsom into being. And it turned out to be a great call because the most immortal moment from that appearance is when Gavin Newsom has to say his own son is a big fan of Charlie. Let's play 171.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Last night, trying to put my son to bed. He's like, no, dad. I just, what time? What time's, what time's, what time? And I'm like, dude, you're in school tomorrow. He's 13. He's like, no, no. This morning wakes up at six something.
Starting point is 00:19:00 He's like, I'm coming. I'm like, he literally would not leave the house. Did you let him to take off school? No, of course not. He's not here for a good. But the point is the point. When you canceled school for like two years, once one, it took one day. The point is the point, which is you are making a damn debt.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Thank you. I'm kidding. You know, what's ironic about that, though, is that Gavin Newsom would then later come back after Charlie was assassinated. And he sort of tried to walk that back. My son was aware of him. He was, it wasn't necessarily a fan. He was just aware of him. And that just really, really ticked me off.
Starting point is 00:19:33 I have to be honest. I think I mentioned it a couple times on the show because I found it so. galling. We knew for about a year before that interview, we'd been hearing rumors that Gavin Newsom's son was a fan of Charlie's. We'd heard it from multiple sources, and we kind of knew it was true. We just didn't know Gavin himself was going to admit as much during the podcast sit down. Blake, you and I traveled up to the Bay Area for that interview, and we were prepping Charlie on all the different California policies. It was quite an experience, I will say. That thing went viral. It felt like it was like the longest news cycle.
Starting point is 00:20:09 It was a, there was a course Gavin Newsom admitted in that podcast that he found it deeply unfair that men could compete in women's sports. And that sent shockwaves across the Democrat establishment. And it ended up becoming sort of a larger question about were the Democrats going to moderate in an attempt to win back power in 2026 and 2028. Gavin seemed to be tracking on a moderation course that now the whole party seems to have moved against. So in the Democrats struggle for which way the party is going to go, Gavin Newsom, his first instincts were probably right if you wanted to actually win political power long term. But it seems the powers that be within the Democratic Party have won the tug of war and they're going to go more radical. I don't know if you'd agree, Blake, but that's been my. Yeah, no, we'll see because he remains.
Starting point is 00:21:01 definitely a frontrunner. I think everyone expects him to run. We'll see if he does successfully make himself the champ. The other big show that it was remarkable that Charlie was excited to go on and it was a little outside as usual wheelhouse. He went on Bill Maher's show, Club Random, I believe, is what it was, the one he has. Yeah, he went on that a short time later. I don't think we have too many clips from it, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:21:27 The best thing about it, though, which we don't have on camera, Charlie would definitely not have wanted that film. He was very upset after he came out of that interview with Bill. He thought he'd done really badly. He thought it was going to play really badly. And he was really upset. And I just told him, Charlie, you're paranoid. And the reason you're paranoid is that Bill Maher was smoking weed the entire time.
Starting point is 00:21:50 And you got all this second end smoke. He hotboxed you for an hour. Oh, I remember. I'll never forget. Charlie walked out, got in the car. And he was, he did not. want to talk to me. I was like, Charlie, that was great. No, you did great, man. And I actually knew why he was upset. He missed a couple, like, openings that he normally would have seized on.
Starting point is 00:22:08 But it's because he was stoned. He got secondhand high. It was hilarious. And he was really paranoid. Hey, everybody. This is Andrew Colvette, executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show. Berna is proud to continue supporting Charlie Kirk's mission and the important work of Turning Point USA. Because empowering Americans to defend their freedoms begins with protecting themselves. their families and their communities. The Burna, less lethal launcher, looks like a firearm, but it isn't one. It fires powerful, chemical, irritant, and kinetic projectiles that can stop a threat in its tracks,
Starting point is 00:22:40 giving you the time and space you need to get to safety. And now you can hear from Charlie in his own words. Burna is about preventing tragedy and preserving life without the consequences of using lethal measures. It's legal in all 50 states requires no background checks, and over 500,000 units are in the hands of responsible citizens and law enforcement. enforcement. Berna can be shipped directly to your door. I've personally tested the Burna pistol and can vouch for its effectiveness and its ease of use. Be prepared, be confident, be safe. Go to burnerb.b.rna.com. That's burna.com. And see why tens of thousands of
Starting point is 00:23:14 Americans are choosing Burna for peace of mind. All right. The next piece, we were talking about Bill Maher. So let's skip ahead a little bit, April. C.K. shocks Bill Mar when he says he doesn't Drink. Alcohol. Bill Marr was shocked, 174. Drink? No, I'm good. Thank you. You don't drink? No. Or smoke pot? No. And you're married and super Christian. We're going to go on great. You know, we're, this is going to just be perfect.
Starting point is 00:23:43 And they did get on great. They did get on great. I thought, I got, I got, I got a great note from Bill. Worth saying, after Charlie was assassinating, just assassinated, just saying how much he genuinely enjoyed his, time with Charlie and their conversation and how horrible he thought it was. And, you know, I thought that was a pretty nice thing for him to reach out. So, you know, but it was a, it was a, it was a memorable visit. It was a memorable visit, driving it into LA with Charlie, him getting hotboxed, him being so paranoid thinking he did a terrible job. And then for that episode to be one of, I think it was, if not the top most watched episode. It did very well. It was in the top three all time of Bill Marr's
Starting point is 00:24:29 Club Random podcast. So good for Charlie there. We got to play this one here. This is for March. So back one. It was Ashton Hall viral morning routine. You guys did this on thought crime. I was not there because I probably
Starting point is 00:24:46 would have axed this and I would have ruined a really memorable moment with Charlie. So I'm glad I wasn't there. 173. He's defiant. You'll never be a top influencer now. You will never You will never make it now. Is this really what he did?
Starting point is 00:25:02 What is the health property of this? It's really funny. This guy. One more time. Whoa. I mean, it has to be like ice bath type thing, right? Is that it supposed to like tighten? Charlie was a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Yeah, it was a good sport. I'm surprised he was so skeptical of it. I feel like Charlie could have totally gotten. into rubbing banana on your face. He'd be like, Blake, I have to rub a banana on my face every morning. It gives me so much vitality. It gives me glow. He had his own health stuff.
Starting point is 00:25:40 The woo-woo, as I would call it. You were always so hard on him about the woo-woo, the Charlie Woo-woo stuff. Charlie loved Maha. He was all into it. And Blake was just like, wasn't there that there was an Atlantic article that called it the woo-woo, and you were like, it's right. It's right. It is woo-woo.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Charlie was like, oh, Blake. good times i miss i miss that you you and charlie's back and forth um so let's go to back to april when the bill mar podcast happened uh this is one of the more memorable tour tour stops at a and m the night crowd he loved his visit to a and m 170 I love the way that video finishes off. He throws the hats and he does the, what is he like this? Yeah, he does, there's always, the A&M has a lot of traditions. What I loved about that, it was the so last minute that they even did that.
Starting point is 00:26:48 I think he only said, make sure you play their fight song. I think literally in, just as we arrived at the building, just before we went out, someone told him he should do that. He would like the reaction. And boy, boy, did that ever get the right reaction. Yep. Well, and here's in April.
Starting point is 00:27:08 It approved me wrong. What is a woman? Charlie spun them up with a mental conundrum, a mental cul-de-sac that they couldn't get out of. And he loved this question, 175. Can you tell me what a woman is? Are you a woman? You want to answer a question?
Starting point is 00:27:25 Yes, I am a woman. Why are you? what is a woman what is a woman yes a person who was born with x x chromosomes i agree hey i agree we have won the culture war we have done it or this is not the win you think it is dean you got to train them better a woman is a person with x x chromosomes i declare a victory in the culture can i please explain what i'm trying to say thank you oh there's more can i please explain my actual stance i can I think your statement is rather self-evident. Listen, that is not to exclude trans women.
Starting point is 00:28:03 Oh, got it. Charlie loved the prove-me-wrongs, man. He just loved him. He loved the viral moments. He loved getting out and mixing up with students, and he learned a ton interacting with them, and it was really a secret sauce. And, you know, Blake, you know, as well as anybody,
Starting point is 00:28:25 how excited Charlie was to get back out tour and it's terrible that it ended the way it did but you know we've said it before he died with his boots on and he loved being out with the students and that that i think that clip really demonstrates just just how much how much he did uh go ahead blake yeah well i just yeah he he died with his boots on he died doing exactly what he loved doing he looked forward to them all the time i don't think he I don't think he really would have wanted to go any other way if, you know, as, as Erica said at the memorial, it's like he just, he was doing what he loved and then he blinked and he was in paradise. That is. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, yeah, exactly. Here's another tough video for me to watch. This is in May. C.K. and Erica's anniversary advice after four years of marriage, 163. Hello, TikTok. Today's a very special day. It is our four-year anniversary. four years married to my best friend what's what's your piece of advice after four years for all the
Starting point is 00:29:33 TikTok people oh my goodness love your husband well and get married just get off your couch stop watching all that terrible stuff and go get married yes that's right and go on that adventure it's the best thing ever and go get married it's amazing to the right person happier than ever God bless you guys Man they really did have an amazing love story and it's very evident when you watch the clips It's very evident when you watch them And we just can't say enough good things about Erica as well
Starting point is 00:30:16 She's she's obviously had a terrible go of it in a terrible year and she's been so courageous, and she's been leaning into the Lord and leaning into her faith and a total, a model, an exemplary model for women all across the country. In May, Blake, you're a Catholic. We found out that there was a new pope from Chicago. That was a big plot twist, I will say. Yeah, I remember doing the, when the white smoke came out, we had to switch the whole show, and we started calling all our friends who were at the Vatican and in Italy.
Starting point is 00:30:51 and we had a fun show trying to assess what it all meant and who it was. And then we found out it was an American, 169. Hey, everybody, there is a new Pope, and the Pope is from Chicago. What do we actually know about this new Pope? Well, the Pope is from Chicago. I am as well. He served in Peru. By the way, I'm not Catholic, by the way.
Starting point is 00:31:11 I'm evangelical. But it still matters who the Pope is. He is a registered Republican and voted in Republican primaries and ran a pro-life group at Villanova University. good sign there's a lot yet to learn about this pope but i hope that he will be a strong advocate for strong borders and for sovereignty the first ever american pope you don't wonder why is it that they picked an american pope could be coincidence could be nothing or is that they want a voice that is also for the opening of american borders while we have president trump who knows who knows
Starting point is 00:31:44 yeah maybe he maybe he's lucky he wasn't he hasn't seen the latest stuff from the pope He said some frustrating things. It would have been a combative relationship, to say the least. The ice ball is really still the peak of weirdness from the Pope. Oh, not even close. The absolute peak weirdness has to be Pacha Mama, although I guess that was a different Pope. Well, no, this is, yeah, I'm talking about this current Pope. Let's play a longer clip while we still have the time, 177.
Starting point is 00:32:12 This is at Cambridge. You promised to put America first. Haven't you and your ilk sold America out? second someone actually tells you what you're doing. Can you just, can you calm down a little bit, like, just a little bit? Pound in the table, you're all over the place. No, you want me to go piece by piece? Or would you like me to talk slower?
Starting point is 00:32:31 Donald Trump is convening a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. Joe Biden gave the armaments. Oh, that's going well, isn't it? He's going well? Can you not interrupt me? I allowed you to talk uninterrupted. He is convening a peace deal between Russia, Ukraine. I believe we will see an end to that war.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Number two, he's actually talking to Iran and discouraging Israel to strike the interior of Iran. and has stopped many other international countries to do the same. And it's a lot better than when your prime minister, Boris Johnson, went alongside our Secretary of State Tony Blinken to Istanbul and unnecessarily blew up a potential Russian peace deal, which has resulted in hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians, one of the great unnecessary wars of the modern era. Donald Trump believes in conversation and police boot through strength.
Starting point is 00:33:11 He has been president for well over 120 to 130 days, and he has already ended a war between two nuclear. conflicts of India, Pakistan. He has secured our own U.S. southern border while we were being invaded by foreign powers. And thirdly, he is brokering a potential settlement with Iran that will prevent a major escalation in the Middle East. And finally, it is very difficult, but I believe they'll get it done that will finally see an end to the Russian-Ukrainian war. We are still hoping for that end to that Russian-Ukrainian war, but more progress was made. Zelensky was just at Mar-a-Lago. This is Lane Schoenberger, Chief Investment Officer and founding partner of Y. Refi.

Starting point is 00:34:57 Any emails? Oh, we've got a good number. We have several good emails. I just, let's see, I'd like to flag this one. Tim and Judy, they sent us a message, and they said, Charlie, he was an amazing young man, and we are all Charlie Kirk. They say they lost their son this year. They will be happy for 2025 to be in the rearview mirror.
Starting point is 00:35:21 But the number of people Charlie touched is unbelievable. It was refreshing to hear, see and see how clear a vision he had for this country. Turning Point must continue to be an active force with our young people. President Reagan says we said we were a generation away from losing our republic. But I think in 2024, we were much closer than that. Charlie is looking down from heaven and watching what is taking place in our country. God bless this great human being. Thank you very much for that one.
Starting point is 00:35:51 You kind of do, you know, I said it at the memorial. I've said it again, and I'll say it again and again, that we don't grieve the way the world grieves. We are obviously devastated at losing our personal friend and, you know, a brother and arms and, you know, a leader of the movement, an icon of our country. All of that will never go away. But you do sort of look at his life and it has this poetic nature to it that he set about to save a generation from an ideology that would wreck them and ruin the country. And he lived to see it. He lived to see the youth vote come the way of Donald Trump, put him in the White House. He lived to see young people flocking back to church and to mass.
Starting point is 00:36:37 and he got to play such a huge part in that in that struggle and um and then he was taken from us but it's almost like you know you could look at it a certain way like his mission was accomplished like he accomplished what god put him on this planet to do and he did it so fast and was such gusto and was such charisma and yeah uh we got another one here kim charlie was so right on and he shared he was so right on all that he shared and he will never be forgotten. I am so thankful for all he did for us. Thank you, Kim. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Just a lot of emails from people. Thank you very much. We love seeing those messages of support. We love seeing all the people that Charlie touched that he impacted and especially getting them in these months after what happened to see the continuing impact of his life on people. it's a it's a great testament and legacy of his this is a funny video Blake the statue in New York remember this one
Starting point is 00:37:44 156 So that's all because there's all because there's that statue of a Let's say an angry, an angry black woman there. And so the reason we had the smoke detector chirps, we have, we have the receipts. We shouldn't, oh, we don't need to go into it. This is 155, CK at Rockefeller during the Pride Week, 155. We are a conquered country.
Starting point is 00:38:26 That is Rockefeller Center. Not American flags. Someone's doing the conquering. He was very happy about getting, that was one of the subtle things. The State Department had that order right up when the Trump admin came in. No more pride flags, no more trans flags. The American flag is actually what we fly from our embassies, not a conquering foreign power. It's an important, it's not even a foreign power.
Starting point is 00:38:57 It's an insidious domestic one and foreign. But let's go ahead and play a cut of Charlie on Juneteenth, one of his favorite topics to rail against Juneteenth, 165. Okay, everybody. A lot of people are going to be saying, happy Juneteenth. It should not be a federal holiday and I'm on my way to work. Have a good day. Charlie hated Juneteenth. Thought it was an intentional distraction from July 4th.
Starting point is 00:39:24 He didn't want competing independence days. It was a Texas home. holiday that we turn into a national thing. They literally called it June 10th. They called it Juneteenth National Independence Day. They wanted to replace the 4th of July. That's the only reason they would call it something like that. Here is Charlie finds out he's at the same restaurant as Doug Emhoff.
Starting point is 00:39:46 What a beta. 172. What a beta. yeah that was a comelah's bow uh or or something uh we have a few let's let's skip ahead here because we're running out of time and i want to really hit because this was such a peak to charlie he was so excited for this all of us were so excited to see it uh in august when we learned he was going to be on the latest episode of south park we we had all of the uh we had our own fan art ready to go. We had the memes ready to go, and we had to explain to Charlie whether it was
Starting point is 00:40:32 still a good and honorable thing to be on South Park. And he had a great reaction to it. Let's play 152. Okay, everybody, the South Park episode just dropped. And honestly, it is hilarious. I mean, part of it is kind of like whatever, typical humor. But it was hilarious. Just watch this little snippet of our prove me wrongs, our viral cultural domination on prime time on Comedy Central, so important, so impactful, that South Park is highlighting, watch it. I'm sick of people stealing my stick. If anyone around here is going to be a master debater, it's me. So let's go.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Who wants to debate the master debater? Let's go. You right there. That's the stupidest haircut I've ever seen. You are wrong. Livida Kitz 317 says it'll be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings. So you can shut up, baby.
Starting point is 00:41:21 You just hate American. You love abortions. Not only that, but Jeremiah 1-5, I made you in the womb. South Park gets this right. In fact, I think they've been watching a lot of Charlie Kirk videos. Watch. Oh, my God. What makes you think you have the right to say what I do with my body?
Starting point is 00:41:38 Let me ask you something. If a pregnant woman is killed and the baby dies too, why is the killer charged with a double homicide? Well, because people have different beliefs. It's not about belief. It's about truth. Science confirms life begins at conception. So yes, Jeremiah 1-5 says before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. But it's just morality that demands we protect the most vulnerable.
Starting point is 00:41:54 And we got our own award show as part. of South Park, I was told going in, Charlie, if they say your name, that's a big win. Well, apparently there's the Charlie Kirk Awards. Hello and welcome to the third annual Charlie Kirk Award for Young Master Debaters. More and more young people today are learning to fight for America through master debation. We're here to honor the recent efforts of a brave young man who has been furiously master debating for the past several days. Now, there's going to be a lot said about this, but we need to have a good spirit about being made fun up. This is all the success.
Starting point is 00:42:32 This is all the win. We as conservatives, we have thick skin, not thin skin, and you can make fun of us. It doesn't matter. And until next time, I hope all of you also become master debaters for truth. It was a good video. It was so much fun. I'm so glad we got that. By the way, at Amfest, we had Charlie Kirk Courage Awards, awarded to students.
Starting point is 00:43:01 So it was kind of a weird, weird full circle moment there. Blake, we got to get to this one. You were with him in Asia, 178. Okay, everybody, I'm here in Seoul, South Korea. As you could see, everyone, they have these, like, inflatable cushy chairs. Everyone is reading. This would last about 35 seconds in most American cities. You can have nice stuff.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Crime is a choice. we shouldn't put up with it South Korea doesn't we should neither and Blake we have to end with this this one's going to be hard but we got to do it this is the last
