I don't know. ...he... ...hean... ...their... ...and... Today is really fun because Mikey and Blake are going to talk about their last trip with Charlie to Asia. And Mikey, you are now in the driver's seat. The floor is yours. Yeah. It's crazy to think. That was just three, four days.

before Utah. And it was Charlie's dream to always go to Asia. And Blake and I got the gift of being able to tag along for that. And so I brought the camera with me. I've never traveled with the camera before, but I decided, you know, it would be a good idea to Mike Charlie up, do some content with him while we're there. And so we put together a little teaser. There's some speeches that are going to be coming out soon, podcasts that are going to be coming out soon, never before seen so this is exciting this is new but uh number two 92 look at you calling shots there we're calling it this is a little teaser of what's to come from Asia I never could have imagined seeing though what I'm seeing here tonight a global movement for freedom

I'm here to bring a message of hope to Japan for those with political will determination and bravery nothing is impossible freedom is not only an American or a Western value, it is a value that belongs to the entire world. We are allies because we all share a common enemy, globalism. They preach a doctrine they call diversity. Globalism wants to erase the distinctions that separate different countries and cultures. It takes hundreds of years to build a civilization. It takes one generation of mistakes to throw it away.

Protect your freedom and your faith from the evildoers who would destroy. destroy it. The best way to fight against tyranny is for good people to stand up. It's good. Blake and I were laughing because the event we did in Korea was a... It's so amazing. It was so incredible. A copy paste of America Fest. It was called Build Up Korea 2025. And it was so amazing to see. It was, it literally was, they're like, you know, we say, you know, Charlie would want to imitate people who were successful so we'd learn from people he would do a lot of the rush stuff because he's like a rush successful so this is people doing the same thing with charlie kirk they're like i want a successful youth conservative event turning point is a successful

let's do a turning point event so it's got the it has like it was cracking me up when you guys are sending me the clips i was like it has like it just literally ripped off the imp fest same backstage area same shape sparklers the sparklers same fireworks same like synthwave color scheme like You know, like it's out of the 80s, sort of. And the funny part is right at the end, they're going, USA, USA! They even wanted to copy America. They had the booths.

I remember going through those. And it was great because they had the Exhibitor Hall. And some of them were very Korean, but one that I got a kick out of it was like the 1776 Institute. And it was a Korean, like, U.S. fan club. It's like, oh, what you can learn from the American founders and how awesome they are. And I was like, yes. Yeah. Well, this was amazing, though.

You told me the story how. everybody at this Korean event, they, they were invited to come close to the stage. So amazing. And they just started singing and praying over Charlie, which was interesting, like, full circle moment. Because some of the worship leaders at the event for Charlie's Memorial sang that same song. And it was basically like two weeks to the day later that they, this song that these Koreans were worshipping and praying over Charlie that was end. up being sung at his memorial but he put his hand on his heart and you told me it was one of the few times you'd seen him get emotional yeah so they called them on stage they said we had one last

gift for you charlie and so he didn't know what it was but he went out on stage and she spoke to the crowd in korean then all of a sudden the piano starts playing and starts how great is our god and they're singing it and it's i keep saying beauty transcends even language even though that song was in korean we all knew what song they were singing and they they they came and then they were praying over him they said something korean they yelled it out loud and a week and two or two weeks later two weeks and two days later that that song would be sung at charlie's memorial with everybody giving their hearts i just it warms my heart knowing that he had these this overflowing of like the holy spirit and god and prayer that he got to just

bask in and and and feel the love in that way and so it's you know it's comforting yeah and so other exciting things that we got to do is Blake was our tour guide and he took us, what was the palace? Gyeongbuk. Was it Gyeongbukun? Yeah, Gungbakuon. I'll confess, Korean syllables kind of all

just, it's like syllable gore to me. So I can't ever remember. Let me make sure I got that right. We fit in so much stuff. We went to the DMZ, so North Korea. And then he also, we have that clip. Yeah, we do. And then we have Blake

taking us to the palace. I think we should play the palace clip, 298. Blake, I'm sorry about this one. Mikey's struggle bushel. He's all like, it's so hot. I can't be cool, like, the security guys who have full suits. Or Blake, who's got his ridiculous

Macy's blazer. I was going to say, like, you've gotten more, you've gotten more mileage out of that blazer at anything I've ever seen in my life. It's a great blazer. People like it. I don't even thought you wear them, because that's like your, it's the,

it's my favorite blazer. I know. It's nice. People comment on it and stuff. No matter what the occasion. Like, where's the Mason? Heck yeah. I think Charlie secretly had a plan to be a tourist that day and to walk the city, but he didn't tell us that message.

So we came downstairs in our suits, you know, fully ready for an event. He came down in gym shorts and a T-shirt. And his long socks. We were sweating through 90%. Every time we'd get to something, he'd just be like, Blake, tell us about this. That's right. So, yeah, we were at the palace. And I'm like, okay, yeah, we got the palace.

You know, this is the hall where they would do the Confucian scholarship stuff. I want to see this one, 297 with the DMZ. I want to see the, because I didn't actually know he went there. So that's great. 297. North Korea. Hey, everybody. Welcome to North Korea.

So this one, we're going to shoot them. This is literally North Korea, Blake. Yep. You've ever seen it before? Tell what I have. Yeah, so originally, we were supposed to go to the DMZ portion where Trump shook Kim Jong-un's hand, and I'm going to put him on blast,

but the United Nations canceled Charlie. Didn't allow us to go. Wow. So we were scheduled to go. So we had to go to that lookout point, which was really exciting still. So glad we got that. Yeah, you got to see it.

Something else that's really interesting is when we're at that buildup Korea event, Charlie was meeting with all these pastors backstage. Do you remember this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's Pastor Son, S-O-N. And Charlie was talking to him, and he was talking about politics from the pulpit, which you can't do during an election season in Korea,

but he was doing it anyways. And Charlie's like, let me take a picture with you. So he took the picture, and we left Korea two days after we left Korea, the pastor was arrested and is in jail right now for... No way. Oh, I saw that. Because you can't...

Yeah, we have the picture up there. That was two days after. they arrested that pastor he's in jail right now for talking about politics from the pulpit which is crazy so after korea we ran over to japan and blake you've been to korea and japan before so you're korea so the context was i got to korea early because i had that friend's wedding so i kind of got used to the city and then japan i had been to before in 2019 so very basic amount of experience we had a very good friend of the show rio who he was he's been this charlie super fan for a while I remember coming to the 2022 Amfest, and he was there.

So he's been a friend of ours, and he's worked with us and stuff. And so he kind of helped pave the way for this visit. And then he was, like, showing us around. And it was so great. I think we have a photo of him. We do, but there's one video that I want to play. That's amazing. $2.99 if we have time.

Yeah, play it. Totally getting missed for Gigi. This is very offensive. Oh, again, Mr. Gigi. Hello Kitty. Blake, was that the Don Quoteau? Was that the one that you took us into? I don't know if that one was the hello kitty thing.

I think that was just like a little side thing we were stepping into, I think. All right. Well, so Charlie bought a hello kitty doll for his family. And by the way, explain this. Like, did people recognize him in Japan at all? They did. Usually foreigners. who were also there, but there was at least

one guy from Japan who did to recognize him, and a lot of Koreans recognized him. Actually, there was that group of kids, remember, in Tokyo? They came up to him. They're like, those were Korean, I believe. Those were Japanese kids. Yeah, they were. So, yeah, so the only time Charlie would stop, again, 90%

humidity, 95 degrees outside. It was terrible. We're in suits, we're sweating, and he doesn't stop. I just want to make a note on that. I've said it before, but it bears repeating. He, when I first started working with Charlie he would run like seven or 10 miles in a day and then eventually hurt his back and so it would just walk so he would do these long walks and you guys and he would walk fast

he walked very fat he had very long legs so the only time he would stop was if it was at at the coffee shop which we went to blake or if it was to get a gift for his family which he saw in that last clip but 282 the clip of us in the coffee shop do you remember this blake yes yeah yeah yeah let's do that one. Oh, do we have no sound? Well, we'll narrate it. We're in a coffee shop. Charlie got, I think

he got a hot tea. Play that again, I want to see it is. He got a hot tea, he would. He was so happy, giving the thumbs up. Look at you and your camera skills, Mike. It was the only place with AC. I just love, yeah, we were wandering. It's super hot, and it's like, it's this

kind of a Buchan Hanak village is kind of what they call it. It's more traditional looking buildings and Seoul, and there's all those back alleys. And it was just a great. I was like, yeah, there's big stores here, but you can also just step into any alley and there will be all these places. And then there was this little coffee shop.

And it was great. We could just step in. They had no idea who we were. And I think Charlie, Charlie absolutely enjoyed, you know, being an activist on a big scale. But I think he also enjoyed that he could actually wander around Seoul and not be spotted by everyone.

You mentioned in your thread on X that you, because one of Charlie's big missions was restoring the family, increasing marriage and having babies. And he was even taking that message to, Seoul in South Korea, but you said it was kind of, you guys noticed as you're walking around the lack of children. Yeah. Actually, at that event, there was a bunch of babies in the back.

Oh, really? That's amazing. Maybe the churches were, it was really, it would stand out because, for example, you'd get on the subway, which did Charlie ever actually ride on the train? You just walked through a station. But yeah, I went on the trains. And every subway car has like two or four pink seats that are for pregnant women. And I'm not sure I ever saw one of them.

And, and, but you said they would line up. Yes. Oh, that was, when it was really busy, they'd get in lines where the things would stop. And you could tell where it would stop because it kind of had a very precise little window that it would be at. And they would have, it would basically be three people wide. And they would get two parallel lines with a path in the middle for the people who are going to get out. And not only would they do that, they get on and off the train in that orderly way. Like once the train was kind of just getting a little too full.

the people would just stop and they would wait for the next train like they did not actually pack to the gills where like you're you're maximizing the number of people in there yeah yeah interesting and like the the han everything's han and then you're explaining this to me and charlie and when we're at the palace they had all these get-ups yeah han bach han bach han basically just means korean or like people basically which it's funny because it's the same word in chinese so they both call themselves han in their language but so han bach is like korean dress and it's a I think we have that clip are they showing that that's the clip so the women would wear these dresses and the men had these kind of

top hats and almost looked like it's very cool I was so heartbroken because I went to that for my friend's wedding and like you can wear Hanbach to a wedding

and I was like I should have done it and I did you wear your macy's blazer did you wear your Macy's blazer I think you brought I weighed your money he did yeah so it looks beautiful though

And that's in Korea, yeah? That's in Korea. Oh, and at this palace, you have to buy for entry, buy a ticket for entry. But if you show up in a Hanbach, you can get in for free. Just walk in. So if we had more time,

I think Blake and I would have gotten in the garb. So did you see kids? Just at church. You said you saw all these, like, empty playgrounds. Yeah, so there was like a playground by, there's a big Korean war, like museum monument, and I went to it. And there was a very nice playground next to it.

but it was totally deserted. It also had a very fun sign that had all the different finds you could receive if you broke the rules. Like if you captured and tamed an animal, that was one of them. And it had a little fun photo or it was like this man with the kind of little gnome thing. I love it. Okay. You know, Asia is quite the place. It really is.

I know it's not monolithic. There are just very stark distinctions. But in general, it is sort of like very, very alien to me. Go ahead, Mikey. when we first arrived it was 4.15 a. Which country? Korea. Okay. And Charlie wanted to do something because he wanted to make the most of the time. So 45 a.m. He wanted to go see the MacArthur statue, which is the biggest. When you fly into Korea, you land at Inchon International Airport. And Inchon is during the Korean War, a very important battleist fought there where we're losing the Korean War. We're at the bottom end of Korea. And General Douglas MacArthur, he does this very daring maneuver where he sails. 200 miles north behind the North Koreans and he lands at Inchon And so that was the landing

And Charlie loved MacArthur He was one of Charlie's heroes So the first thing he wanted to do is go see that statue So this is clip 287 It's playing right there And Charlie was in awe He's walking up he goes wow I wish we had statues like this in America

And he walks up to the statue And Blake if you could read this He reads these words out loud There is no boundary in justice, nor is there any obstacle to struggle, mountain, or sea. A man who executed such a struggle in the spirit of justice to the triumph of the cause of the free world and to the gratitude and admiration of mankind is the man whom this statue represents. Wow. Says that out loud.

Wow. Well, Charlie's going to get statues in his honor. I know. It's just beautiful. He deserves them. we have some other clips here for we have the Tokyo event free speech people principal place mass immigration which one you want Mikey I think we should do the mass immigration all right let's do mass let's do mass immigration oh it's kind of a longer clip is it um let's see do we not have it loaded

I don't know maybe we don't have it loaded but we we will get it but it's funny actually seeing him with the earpiece on the trans for translation that was fun oh actually they are so nice. Like, do you remember this? They bring, they have this like platter, almost like a silver platter that they put the microphone on. And so when it was Charlie's turn to speak, they kind of walk up to him and they just present this mic to him on this. The other thing I remember that was so funny. It was like just the way they're so deliberate about things. Like we had that meal and like Charlie just wanted to eat fast. But it was like a Chinese restaurant that was like one thing at a time. And he just after two courses, he's like, I'm out, goes and takes a nap.

He loved it. All right. This is a longer clip, but let's do it. 306. In America, mass immigration was one of the defining issues that propelled President Trump towards election in both 2016 and 2024. But it was very simple. We asked a series of questions. In America, we said, do you want your hometown to be more people that speak Spanish or English? It was very simple. You see, a nation is also three. The globalists seek to eliminate the three P's by getting rid of borders, language, and culture. So a very simple question that I would ask here in Japan that I mentioned in my speech, do you want school children in Japan to learn Japanese?

The language. Of course you do, right? But not Arabic. And we laugh. But you know what? People in London would have laughed 40 years ago in a event. just like this. And yet more people are going to speak Arabic in London in 20 years from now than today. So you have to make it very real, very tangible. The problem is that Tokyo is so nice

and that Japan is so great that you're almost in a place where it's very easy to be apathetic. Oh, this will never happen here. We've stood the test of time. Remember they said the sun would never set on the British Empire. I'm sure you've remembered hearing that before. It wasn't war that took down the British Empire. It wasn't any of the other conflicts. It was mass immigration that took down the British Empire. So you must enter with a sense of cautiousness, but also immediacy to communicate in real language that, in real words, that this can have a very serious impact on what people care about most. There's right after that speech, he did a report, a reporter with CNN.

An interview. Blake made a joke no matter where you are in the world. CNN's still CNN. And she said, don't you feel like your speech was a little xenophobic? And Charlie goes, listen, I think we can both agree. If we import 40 million Pakistanis into Japan, Japan's not Japan anymore. And she goes, I got, yeah, you're right.

Okay, fine. Yeah, and people are commenting, that's the slowest I've ever heard CK talk. And it's like, well, he had to speak slow so the translators could translate him. So he was being very deliberate in his pacing. Because normally, yeah, Charlie could rattle off things pretty quickly. And we're all accustomed to, like, editing clips

and listening to things at 2X speed. So we're, that was an extraordinary slow for, for my ear. Our good friends at Angel Studios, I love Angel Studios. Amazing new film this Holy Week. As I think about Charlie's life and how much of a supporter was of Angel, it's hard not to feel so grateful for what he did. He supported us in our darkest days and in our brightest hours as a company.

Jeff and I and Charlie were doing lunch together. We asked him, he said, are you at all worried about one of these college campuses? And he just said there was so much peace in his eyes and so much peace in his heart. If that's how God takes me, then that's how I'm supposed to go. And I feel like that was a clear message that Charlie's life is a testimony to Jesus Christ, his Lord and Savior. And his relationship with him was the most important thing that he would want the world to remember about his legacy. Man, are we grateful to have gotten to be a little connection in the multitude of connections

that he made throughout his life because it was so impactful to us. Thank you, Charlie. Love you. We miss you. We're going to continue to drive forward. The good news. And now we are joined by the great, the one and only. Erica Kirk. Welcome. Thank you. Thanks. It's surreal to actually be sitting because last time I was standing, but I don't know. Just to sit. It's a little more emotional. Yeah. Well, you are rightly at the head of the table, and we're just so honored to have you here. I know that you have been, to say that your life has been a whirlwind would be the understatement of the century,

and to make time for Charlie's audience and to speak to them. I know that they can't wait to hear from you, and just to see you, just to see you in this room probably means a lot to them. And you've been up against so much, and you've been doing an incredible, incredible job. The number of messages I've heard just complimenting you and your dignity and your poise and your strength has been overwhelming. And, yeah, we're just so glad you're here. I'm grateful. I mean, I know we talked about this. We prayed on it.

We really tried to discern properly how to go about the next few stages and steps of everything. And we've been very intentional. in a way that always keeps Charlie first and his dreams alive and his legacy going and what's so beautiful is to see all of you step in and do that and so part of the reason why I wanted to I agreed to come on

because this is not going to be a forever thing of me being on hosting the show was because I I gave assurance to people that Turning Point USA is continuing, and it is. I mean, we are so blessed to have more work than we even could ever dream of. I mean, it's beautiful. And Turning Point Action, full steam ahead, so powerful. All of the other programs within Turning Point USA, everyone knows what they're doing.

Everyone has their marching orders. and the show when we talked about this became very intimate for me because I was there from the beginning of all of it and I'll never forget 20, 20 when literally the world stood still and Charlie and I would go hiking every morning and we would just talk about what life, the crazy things going on and we came home from one of our hikes that time that season and my mom pulled him aside in the kitchen and she goes honey they had a very good relationship my mom and charlie were best friends we joked around that oh i know we joked around that he was the favorite child but she loved him still loves him and she said you know what honey she said god has blessed you with

an amazing voice and you will be the rush limba of your generation and two days later you and him engaged in conversations about the show and about the podcast well it was it was hey we're going to be doing uh about five more episodes a week now so uh just tell the team and make sure that happens three hours of this two more hours of podcasting like it just and it just and he he ran with that and the team ran with it and to see the Charlie Kirk show grow from that moment until now has been so humbling and beautiful and he loved every single day he read every email yeah i know you guys have said that so many times but i can vouch for that because there were times where he would forward me some of the emails that he would get and he wouldn't even say

anything he would just forward the email and to me it was almost like an extended form of family where you guys were the you guys were the pulse point of in the connection point of turning point USA TP action the charlie kirk show it was a triple threat and the audience was the master and main component of that because charlie and the charlie kirk show is not just a show yeah it has a movement attached to it it has the youth movement attached to it and so for charlie the audience was a barometer of what do we need to be focusing on the audience is brilliant how many times did a listener send in something and say hey this is going on you need to dig deeper in this or check this out and charlie's show became and still is and i'm going to get there in a second but charlie show became the north

star for freedom of speech but in a way where when he spoke and whatever came across his desk or whatever he put on the air was was right yes it wasn't inflated it wasn't awkwardly optimistic that had no leverage behind it it was it was the gold standard was grounded in the extremely grounded wisdom of the audience and but not only that he had a team still does all of you that was the sounding board of that and collectively each one of you are a piece of his brain i know we've talked about this blake economics foreign policy andrew pretty much a lot of stuff mike humor uh christianity sports youth social pop culture was daisy like everyone has a piece of his brain that still lives on and so So what I'm getting at here is the Charlie Kirk show is not going anywhere.

My husband's voice will live on. The show will go on. We will have rotating hosts, rotating cast, rotating people coming on. We've got some great people next week already. Unbelievable. We will have consistency. The members only group will continue to go on. All of his socials that God has blessed us with.

The people who follow those socials will go on. Nothing is changing. But I want to preface, we're not awkward, we're not like weird, we're not, we're not going to be tweeting as if it's him. That's tone deaf and really disturbing. And anyone who does that's like morbidly off. That's not what's happening. What's happening is the team is keeping this alive because we have Charlie and each and every one of us. And it is going to be continually the North Star of the conservative movement of the voice of the youth.

of the voice of the base and that will not end and the members only will continue to grow and that will be the tight knit network of family members that supported and loved Charlie and the team and that's what it is it's a family and a team and this is not this is not going anywhere it's just not we need to be able to have people have a show where they can they can ask questions hey I'm up against this what would Charlie say? And we play a clip of what Charlie said a month ago, a year ago. We have decades worth of my husband's voice. We have unused material from speeches that he's had that no one has heard yet.

We have Sunday specials lined up to the brim because my husband was so intentional about making sure that there was enough content. Always. He made sure we recorded everything. Everything. He would not do a speech unless we could get the video and the- 100% so we have speeches that no one's heard of we have interviews that no one's heard of we have stuff from korea and japan that no one's heard of podcast so i mean in the words of my husband buckle up because there is a lot of content to be had and we have so many amazing things down

the pipeline that we are working on currently that will unveil in due time i'm so excited yeah and so By the way, those are things Charlie himself that he wanted. He wanted. We were working on some big things, you know, right up until the end. And, you know, we've talked about that a lot, like a lot of the guiding vision that we're using right now to kind of steady the ship and figure out where we're going is the things Charlie himself told us where we were going. 100%. And similar with Turning Point USA, Charlie had a plan moving past 2030 that he's shared with the team. and has implemented so we're not going anywhere we have the blueprints we have the blueprints we have our marching orders and we are just remaining humble and grateful to god and we're remaining just

stewards to what god has blessed us with and i know charlie is going to continue to guide us and the lord will continue to guide us and i just wanted to let everyone know that this is far beyond any of us sitting in these chairs. This has nothing to do with us. It never will. The glory all to God on that front. And I just am excited. It's weird to say excited, but it's also very surreal to say it because I know that God will use all of this in a way that will glorify him further Charlie's legacy. And Charlie's up in heaven just having. He's rooting us on. He's so rooting us on. Yeah. And I know. I know. I know. I want to like ask you just a little bit about because this is something we wrestled with the social accounts and i'll never forget when you looked at me and you were like Andrew he cared so much about building those up

i'm not letting those die and i just remember being like huh yes thank you i needed to hear that because it's it it is a little awkward now we're not going to use it for like no stuff but for very specific things for his voice for things he cared about for movements he cared about for for causes he cared about those those socials and also too to support turning point USA to to be the barometer of what's going on to be the pulse point again we're not going to be posting i went for a walk today like no yeah no where we are using his socials in a way that will continue to honor his legacy he poured so much time into building those not from a vein or vanity standpoint or look at me, that's never why he built those.

He built those because he knew that being a voice for the Lord and being a voice for everything that is good and beautiful in this world. And also, yes, the youth, he used that as the North Star and we will continue that. And it'll be done tastefully. It will be done appropriately. and I'm excited for all of it because we have a good team. You have every right to be.

We have a good team. After everything that you've been through, what the team has been through, to see, it's like, I keep saying Charlie's almost sprinkling his little Charlie Kirk magic dust on everything. And I mean that in a very Christian sense that Charlie lives such a remarkable life

and his mission was so big that in death you cannot contest. it unleashes something even greater and it's on us and charlie would look at us and expect us to do the right things here and i would say look at the memorial i know that memorial is the proof point that the team that charlie put together can do the impossible and god's blessing was on that so many prayers and i know you feel the prayers because i feel them if i feel them you must be feeling them like a hundred eggs all of them matter and and we are going to we will never be silenced we will never be silenced and that's why having continuing his platform in a beautiful honorable way

will reinforce that we will never be silenced well so we have gotten so many questions about these little toys the puppets and what they are we of course know what they are but why don't you tell the audience what they so every day when charlie would go into the office he would see our daughter and she would just be playing and she would look at him she watched the show every day she couldn't email but this was her version of emailing every day she'd watch the show and she did it because daddy would take the item that she gave to him and have it on the show with him and sometimes he would say like this is the item that my daughter gave me it sometimes he wouldn't just to see if she was really watching and so when she when he would come home she would be like daddy

i saw i saw the puppet on the show today daddy i saw the moose on the show today daddy you brought you brought baby buff buff on the show today like so that was their little connection point of and he loved it too because it was a little piece of her that he could have with her on the show but those little moments of and i loved it too because it You know, Charlie was known for so many things, and I think people just love seeing that side of him. It humanizes him. Yeah. And he's a father.

He's a, I mean, unbelievable husband, but father and loved his babies. And he wasn't embarrassed by that. He was so proud of it. Yeah. If Gigi made him something or if she puts a sticker on his shirt or a sticker on his face or gave him a figurine to bring to work, he did it and he loved it. He didn't care what other people thought. No, he loved, he didn't, I don't think it even occurred to him to think about what someone else thought about that. So we talked about kind of some of the things we wanted to just say in this last segment.

And, you know, I really believe, and you knew this so well of how much this audience meant to him. And I said this actually in my speech at the memorial that you in the audience were his firewall because you gave him so much confidence when he would go in these fancy rooms and with these fancy people and these elites. and they would say, well, this is the way it is, this is the way. He knew they were wrong because of you in the audience. And you always would send him freedom at charliekirk.com. And we want to commit to you right here and now on this show. And you're going to be part of this. A hundred percent.

That we are going to read all of the emails just as we have always done that you send to freedom at charliekirk.com. It might be rule by committee. It might be sort of, I get to some of them. Mikey gets to some of them. But they will be. read they will be read we will get to it we will get to it all of them all of them and you guys are so important to him and we were talking about this in donor meetings and private meetings even at the white house when people would be wrong about something he would triple double down

and he would say to them no you don't understand you are wrong about this I've been touch with my audience I read their emails every day so they don't like what you are doing fix it yeah and so we're going to do that we're committed to it yeah it's very proud of that and I just also want to say thank you to the audience because in the days immediately after i mean we looked at each other a couple of times going like what are we going to do here and uh so many of you guys signed up to become members members dot charley kirk.com so many of you bought the t-shirts at charley kirk store dot com that you gave us this breathing room and this really hard time and it was like we don't know what's going to have we don't know if we've got a show we don't know what any but we committed to
