Charlie Kirk Today | Donald Trump, Jr.: January 5, 2026 | Charlie Kirk Today | January 5, 2026

Brought to you in part by the
00:00:00.790 --> 00:00:02.492
International fellowship of christians and jews.
00:00:02.492 --> 00:00:13.870
Thank you for making the time and,
00:00:14.637 --> 00:00:16.973
You know, making the time to come to amp fest, obviously,
00:00:16.973 --> 00:00:20.944
You know, it weighs heavy on all of us.
00:00:20.944 --> 00:00:22.345
This is our our first amp fest without charlie.
00:00:22.345 --> 00:00:25.215
You were one of charlie's, closest relationships friends.
00:00:25.215 --> 00:00:29.352
You guys spent a lot of time together in the early days,
00:00:29.352 --> 00:00:32.188
2016, you know, on that campaign.
00:00:32.188 --> 00:00:35.125
So i just want to make
00:00:35.592 --> 00:00:36.493
This about charlie and tell you what, how
00:00:36.493 --> 00:00:39.963
The time you spent together, the memories you have of him.
00:00:39.963 --> 00:00:42.132
And so when i ask you, who's charlie kirk to don junior?
00:00:42.132 --> 00:00:45.468
Oh, man. wow.
00:00:45.468 --> 00:00:48.238
Listen, he's just so
00:00:48.238 --> 00:00:50.206
Honestly a generational talent.
00:00:50.206 --> 00:00:52.242
I think we've all probably heard the story of right now.
00:00:52.242 --> 00:00:54.677
You know already about how we met.
00:00:54.677 --> 00:00:56.279
I've, you know, said it many times.
00:00:56.279 --> 00:00:58.181
This guy is the smartest guy in politics.
00:00:58.181 --> 00:01:00.083
He knows everything.
00:01:00.083 --> 00:01:01.084
And i was like, okay,
00:01:01.084 --> 00:01:02.085
This is great because we don't know anything.
00:01:02.085 --> 00:01:03.853
You know, don't tell me more.
00:01:04.487 --> 00:01:05.588
Tell me more.
00:01:05.588 --> 00:01:06.756
You know, it's like, well, you know, he's 20 years old.
00:01:06.756 --> 00:01:08.191
I go, stop
00:01:08.191 --> 00:01:09.492
Just this just,
00:01:09.492 --> 00:01:11.528
You know, if there's one thing we had no shortage of,
00:01:11.528 --> 00:01:13.563
It was guys that didn't know anything.
00:01:13.563 --> 00:01:15.198
So i was like, there's no chance, you know,
00:01:15.198 --> 00:01:17.100
A 20 year old is like, we got plenty of that.
00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:18.701
We got plenty of people that don't know what they're doing.
00:01:18.701 --> 00:01:20.270
That's the only thing we don't have a shortage of.
00:01:20.270 --> 00:01:23.239
And he said, no, no, no, you got to you got to sit down.
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:25.775
And, i remember charlie came up to my office.
00:01:25.775 --> 00:01:28.311
We met the first time in my office
00:01:28.311 --> 00:01:30.079
And trump tower back when that was the war room,
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.916
And we sat down
00:01:32.916 --> 00:01:33.917
And in five minutes, i'm like, congratulations.
00:01:33.917 --> 00:01:35.618
Like, you're on the road with me.
00:01:35.618 --> 00:01:37.020
You know what he was able to accomplish,
00:01:37.020 --> 00:01:40.290
You know, in just 31 years is, you know, what would be,
00:01:40.290 --> 00:01:44.127
You know, a crowning achievement of someone's life
00:01:44.127 --> 00:01:47.430
That, you know, got to see it through, old age.
00:01:47.430 --> 00:01:50.867
He just did so much.
00:01:51.334 --> 00:01:52.402
He just knew there was a confidence there.
00:01:52.402 --> 00:01:53.803
There was an understanding there.
00:01:53.803 --> 00:01:55.471
He understood, politics.
00:01:55.471 --> 00:01:58.208
He understood washington.
00:01:58.208 --> 00:02:00.410
And, you know, most importantly,
00:02:00.410 --> 00:02:02.078
And this is what's,
00:02:02.078 --> 00:02:03.213
You know, generally lost with all of those people is,
00:02:03.213 --> 00:02:05.848
You know, he understood our people,
00:02:05.848 --> 00:02:07.517
And he genuinely cared.
00:02:07.517 --> 00:02:09.118
And i think that was the difference.
00:02:09.118 --> 00:02:10.653
I mean, i've always said sort of authenticity
00:02:10.653 --> 00:02:13.523
Is everything in politics.
00:02:13.523 --> 00:02:14.958
And, you know, if you're not real, if you're,
00:02:14.958 --> 00:02:17.193
You know, phoning it in, if you're fake, man,
00:02:17.193 --> 00:02:20.129
They smell you quickly and you just go nowhere.
00:02:20.129 --> 00:02:22.031
And so when you are real, it's a rarity, but it's
00:02:22.031 --> 00:02:25.501
Why you're able to do what he was able to accomplish.
00:02:25.501 --> 00:02:28.304
I have a question about, charlie's growth.
00:02:28.304 --> 00:02:31.307
Right. so you got to see him.
00:02:31.307 --> 00:02:33.776
2016, 2025.
00:02:33.776 --> 00:02:37.113
How did he change?
00:02:37.547 --> 00:02:39.148
You know, honestly, he he didn't change that much.
00:02:39.148 --> 00:02:41.784
He just he was afforded more opportunities.
00:02:41.784 --> 00:02:44.487
You know, people,
00:02:44.487 --> 00:02:45.555
You know, started
00:02:45.555 --> 00:02:46.689
Giving him the same shot that perhaps i gave him early.
00:02:46.689 --> 00:02:49.525
You know, it took a little longer
00:02:49.525 --> 00:02:51.194
For them to sort of recognize that talent, i guess.
00:02:51.194 --> 00:02:53.563
But, he was just an absolute workhorse.
00:02:53.563 --> 00:02:56.899
He always got it.
00:02:56.899 --> 00:02:58.268
And i think that's what people, you know, miss.
00:02:58.268 --> 00:03:00.036
They're like, oh, he's he's great on stage with a mic.
00:03:00.036 --> 00:03:01.904
It's like, yeah, but then he gets off the stage
00:03:01.904 --> 00:03:03.473
And he's doing a podcast. then he's in there with donors.
00:03:03.473 --> 00:03:05.642
And i mean, the guy,
00:03:05.642 --> 00:03:08.578
Just worked harder than anyone else.
00:03:08.578 --> 00:03:11.748
And he was so passionate about it that it didn't matter.
00:03:11.748 --> 00:03:14.817
I mean, his energy, you know, was, you know, perhaps perhaps
00:03:14.817 --> 00:03:18.921
Second only to my father, who's,
00:03:18.921 --> 00:03:20.590
You know, also sort of a similar animal
00:03:20.590 --> 00:03:22.058
That really sleeps more than your dad does.
00:03:22.058 --> 00:03:24.160
Charlie. yeah.
00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:25.194
He was nobody even charlie, like a night guy.
00:03:25.194 --> 00:03:26.729
Yeah, i mean, but but he cared so much.
00:03:26.729 --> 00:03:28.798
I mean, he
00:03:28.798 --> 00:03:29.866
He took care of himself at an age where, you know,
00:03:29.866 --> 00:03:31.501
I mean, i used to, you know, you have dinner with charlie.
00:03:31.501 --> 00:03:33.569
You're like, you're eating,
00:03:33.569 --> 00:03:34.704
You know, grilled chicken and salad like that again.
00:03:34.704 --> 00:03:37.173
Like, you know, i'm like, you gotta let.
00:03:37.173 --> 00:03:39.108
Yeah.
00:03:39.108 --> 00:03:39.909
Occasionally.
00:03:39.909 --> 00:03:40.843
Hot sauce, a little, add a little spice.
00:03:40.843 --> 00:03:42.545
But, you know, he just knew that he was on a mission.
00:03:42.545 --> 00:03:47.684
And he was going to do whatever he could to
00:03:47.684 --> 00:03:50.019
To make sure he fulfilled that.
00:03:50.019 --> 00:03:52.488
Yeah.
00:03:52.722 --> 00:03:53.289
So, you know, charlie
00:03:53.289 --> 00:03:54.791
Doesn't get enough credit for being funny
00:03:54.791 --> 00:03:56.459
And how like how much fun he was behind closed doors.
00:03:56.459 --> 00:04:00.129
Blake knows as well blake was, traveling with charlie
00:04:00.129 --> 00:04:03.099
Internationally the last, couple of trips he took.
00:04:03.099 --> 00:04:05.968
You know, what are some things about charlie
00:04:06.869 --> 00:04:08.705
That you saw that
00:04:08.705 --> 00:04:11.541
You either want people to understand about him,
00:04:11.541 --> 00:04:13.943
Or that you just know the world didn't really get about him.
00:04:13.943 --> 00:04:16.646
Well, i mean, i think that's, that's certainly one of them.
00:04:16.646 --> 00:04:18.981
I mean, his humor,
00:04:18.981 --> 00:04:19.982
You know, again, for you, charlie, you know,
00:04:19.982 --> 00:04:21.584
Always kind of do like the prim and proper evangelical thing.
00:04:21.584 --> 00:04:23.953
And so like, that is totally not me.
00:04:23.953 --> 00:04:25.555
So i say all the stuff that maybe some are thinking
00:04:25.555 --> 00:04:28.224
But are unwilling to actually articulate.
00:04:28.224 --> 00:04:30.393
So, you know, you could put him
00:04:30.393 --> 00:04:32.995
In an uncomfortable position,
00:04:32.995 --> 00:04:34.097
But then he'd chime in and it was so,
00:04:34.097 --> 00:04:35.531
You know, for me, i do it all the time for him.
00:04:35.531 --> 00:04:37.033
When he chimed in on those kinds of things,
00:04:37.033 --> 00:04:38.501
It was like, whoa, you know, weird that come from, so,
00:04:38.501 --> 00:04:43.639
You know, it
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:44.640
It was a it was just honestly,
00:04:44.640 --> 00:04:46.109
I guess, a, a generational talent.
00:04:46.109 --> 00:04:48.044
And so,
00:04:48.044 --> 00:04:48.911
You know, as part of this movement,
00:04:48.911 --> 00:04:50.113
You know, there's not one person,
00:04:50.113 --> 00:04:51.681
You know, that's going to replace charlie kirk.
00:04:51.681 --> 00:04:53.149
There's not one person that would be capable of doing that.
00:04:53.149 --> 00:04:55.885
But, you know, if we all sort of band together,
00:04:55.885 --> 00:04:58.121
If we all have that same, passion,
00:04:58.121 --> 00:05:01.257
Enthusiasm, energy, and try, you know,
00:05:01.257 --> 00:05:04.494
Maybe a few thousand of us can fill
00:05:04.494 --> 00:05:06.629
Those little percentage points and try to get to that
00:05:06.629 --> 00:05:08.498
100 and keep this, keep the movement rolling.
00:05:08.498 --> 00:05:11.134
Can you tell us a bit about the relationship
00:05:11.134 --> 00:05:13.636
He developed with your dad as the president?
00:05:13.636 --> 00:05:15.905
And. yeah, as a candidate, too.
00:05:15.905 --> 00:05:17.607
Yeah.
00:05:17.607 --> 00:05:18.574
You know, my my father, he's a unique guy.
00:05:18.574 --> 00:05:20.042
He'll listen to everyone and he sort of weighs those things.
00:05:20.042 --> 00:05:22.578
I mean, i think how he was able to relate to,
00:05:22.578 --> 00:05:25.348
You know, regular
00:05:25.348 --> 00:05:26.449
Blue collar americans, people like, how is it possible
00:05:26.449 --> 00:05:28.217
You're some brash billionaire from new york?
00:05:28.217 --> 00:05:29.685
It's like, well, you know, he grew up on construction sites.
00:05:29.685 --> 00:05:31.888
He knew how to talk to those guys.
00:05:31.888 --> 00:05:33.289
He that was
00:05:33.289 --> 00:05:34.257
He was a better developer, not because
00:05:34.257 --> 00:05:36.592
He listened to the guy behind a computer screen,
00:05:36.592 --> 00:05:38.528
You know, an excel and like a gilded office.
00:05:38.528 --> 00:05:40.463
But because he spent time on the job sites with real people.
00:05:40.463 --> 00:05:42.598
And charlie was like that,
00:05:42.598 --> 00:05:44.167
So, you know, they understood each other.
00:05:44.167 --> 00:05:47.136
I mean, there's
00:05:47.136 --> 00:05:48.171
There's not many people in the inner sanctum of,
00:05:48.171 --> 00:05:51.441
You know, my father's sort of political circle.
00:05:51.441 --> 00:05:53.342
That he sort of gets
00:05:53.342 --> 00:05:56.746
Even when perhaps he's being delivered news
00:05:56.746 --> 00:05:59.549
That he needs to hear but doesn't want to hear.
00:05:59.549 --> 00:06:01.751
You know, politics.
00:06:01.751 --> 00:06:02.952
There's, you know, there's plenty of sycophants out there.
00:06:02.952 --> 00:06:04.487
There's plenty of people who tell you, oh, you know,
00:06:04.487 --> 00:06:06.355
They show up for the wins and they hide from the losses,
00:06:06.355 --> 00:06:08.991
Or, you know, the losses are someone else's fault
00:06:08.991 --> 00:06:10.726
And the wins that they had nothing to do with.
00:06:10.726 --> 00:06:12.695
You know, charlie was one of the true people that could,
00:06:12.695 --> 00:06:15.131
You know,
00:06:15.131 --> 00:06:16.599
Call him in the middle of the day
00:06:15.798 --> 00:06:17.867
And, you know, break through and be like,
00:06:17.867 --> 00:06:19.402
Hey, man, this is actually a problem.
00:06:19.402 --> 00:06:21.137
And i know no one's telling you this, but it is.
00:06:21.137 --> 00:06:23.306
And so, you know, for my father to let in,
00:06:23.306 --> 00:06:25.875
You know, even back in the day, you know, a 25 year old,
00:06:25.875 --> 00:06:28.911
Into that circle and have sort of,
00:06:28.911 --> 00:06:30.980
You know, full confidence in what he was saying.
00:06:30.980 --> 00:06:33.483
And really, you know, change his views,
00:06:33.483 --> 00:06:37.353
Perhaps change the way he delivered a message.
00:06:37.353 --> 00:06:40.156
It was truly unique to see.
00:06:40.156 --> 00:06:42.124
I don't think there was
00:06:42.124 --> 00:06:43.092
Anyone else, that he listened to that way.
00:06:43.092 --> 00:06:46.462
And maybe. period.
00:06:46.462 --> 00:06:47.497
But certainly not, you know, age adjusted.
00:06:47.497 --> 00:06:50.032
And so, you know, was interesting.
00:06:50.032 --> 00:06:52.201
I was, you know, when i knew charlie was, you know, perhaps
00:06:52.201 --> 00:06:56.072
I had accomplished what i wanted,
00:06:56.072 --> 00:06:57.540
You know, just to get him there was when,
00:06:57.540 --> 00:06:59.442
You know, we'd be in a random place
00:06:59.442 --> 00:07:00.543
And charlie is calling
00:07:00.543 --> 00:07:01.143
And he's picking up
00:07:01.143 --> 00:07:01.744
On the first ring,
00:07:01.744 --> 00:07:02.845
Or, you know, 11:00 at night, 12:00 at night
00:07:02.845 --> 00:07:05.381
On something and gets a call from charlie.
00:07:05.381 --> 00:07:06.983
He always took that call as opposed to a lot of people.
00:07:06.983 --> 00:07:08.818
He was like, yeah, no,
00:07:08.818 --> 00:07:09.986
I'm gonna send that one to voicemail.
00:07:09.986 --> 00:07:11.187
You know,
00:07:11.187 --> 00:07:12.788
He really broke through and he understood how to
00:07:12.788 --> 00:07:14.690
How to, you know, talk with and deal with.
00:07:14.690 --> 00:07:16.392
My father was, you know, an interesting guy.
00:07:16.392 --> 00:07:17.994
And, you know, it
00:07:17.994 --> 00:07:19.362
Not always the easiest person to do that with.
00:07:19.362 --> 00:07:21.163
So, you know, he got it. he understood how to do that.
00:07:21.163 --> 00:07:23.833
And so they had a really, a really unique relationship.
00:07:23.833 --> 00:07:30.873
The wounds from
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:32.241
October 7th didn't fade when the headlines did.
00:07:32.241 --> 00:07:35.378
Behind me rises
00:07:35.745 --> 00:07:36.946
A new rehabilitation home for israel's wounded soldiers.
00:07:36.946 --> 00:07:40.616
One of many urgent projects israel needs right now.
00:07:40.616 --> 00:07:44.353
Entire communities shattered.
00:07:44.987 --> 00:07:47.089
Families displaced.
00:07:47.089 --> 00:07:48.824
And each day,
00:07:48.824 --> 00:07:49.926
The impact of the need grows even more overwhelming.
00:07:49.926 --> 00:07:53.896
But the bible says it clearly.
00:07:53.896 --> 00:07:56.165
The righteous will live by faith and by faith.
00:07:56.165 --> 00:08:00.336
The fellowship is rolling up our sleeves
00:08:00.336 --> 00:08:02.104
And stepping into this immense challenge.
00:08:02.104 --> 00:08:04.640
Helping mothers who don't know where to begin again.
00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:07.209
Standing with paralyzed heroes.
00:08:07.209 --> 00:08:09.045
Fighting to take their first steps.
00:08:09.045 --> 00:08:11.247
Building centers of healing for the wounded
00:08:11.247 --> 00:08:13.683
And the traumatized.
00:08:13.683 --> 00:08:15.251
Bringing food and comfort to elderly israelis
00:08:15.251 --> 00:08:18.254
Who have no one else to care for them.
00:08:18.254 --> 00:08:21.457
To see the life saving work of the fellowship.
00:08:21.457 --> 00:08:24.493
Unfolding across israel right now.
00:08:24.493 --> 00:08:27.463
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:08:27.463 --> 00:08:31.004
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:08:31.004 --> 00:08:35.674
That hard work you mentioned, i just think of
00:08:36.542 --> 00:08:38.644
Before the election
00:08:38.644 --> 00:08:39.712
Where we're working in several states, but where
00:08:39.712 --> 00:08:41.580
Our biggest one is arizona.
00:08:41.580 --> 00:08:43.349
And i was asking,
00:08:43.349 --> 00:08:45.017
We're just talking to charlie, are we going to win?
00:08:45.017 --> 00:08:46.819
And he says,
00:08:46.819 --> 00:08:47.886
I can't promise we're going to win the election.
00:08:47.886 --> 00:08:49.188
We're going to win arizona.
00:08:49.188 --> 00:08:51.156
I promised the president i would win arizona for him
00:08:51.156 --> 00:08:54.426
And he really that hard work element.
00:08:54.426 --> 00:08:56.328
I, a friend of mine who'd worked in the admin,
00:08:56.328 --> 00:08:58.564
Said one of charlie's best traits is if he says
00:08:58.564 --> 00:09:00.532
He'll take care of something, it really does. yeah.
00:09:00.532 --> 00:09:03.002
No. if he said he was going to do something, there was no.
00:09:03.002 --> 00:09:05.371
Hey, by the way, did you get did you get it done?
00:09:05.371 --> 00:09:08.040
Are you working on this?
00:09:08.040 --> 00:09:09.041
You just knew it was, you know, handled.
00:09:09.041 --> 00:09:10.743
And so, you know, i remember i'm in arizona, i was out here,
00:09:10.743 --> 00:09:14.546
You know, a couple of days before the election,
00:09:14.546 --> 00:09:16.215
With charlie, one of the basically
00:09:16.215 --> 00:09:18.117
The last, like, live political events.
00:09:18.117 --> 00:09:20.653
You know,
00:09:20.953 --> 00:09:21.920
I had done with him, prior to the election.
00:09:21.920 --> 00:09:23.989
And, i mean,
00:09:23.989 --> 00:09:25.090
Even then, you know, we almost had to cancel event
00:09:25.090 --> 00:09:27.459
Because we got called
00:09:27.459 --> 00:09:28.627
In, you know, some lunatic was, i guess, threatening me.
00:09:28.627 --> 00:09:31.997
You know, you remember that one?
00:09:31.997 --> 00:09:33.399
You're like, hey, we we don't think we can do this one.
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:34.900
I was like, nope, we're doing it.
00:09:34.900 --> 00:09:35.868
And i mean, we've had that, so many times.
00:09:35.868 --> 00:09:38.704
I mean, charlie understood.
00:09:38.704 --> 00:09:40.005
You know,
00:09:40.005 --> 00:09:40.939
There was a mark out there for, you know,
00:09:40.939 --> 00:09:42.741
You either one of us, we,
00:09:42.741 --> 00:09:44.576
You know, said the things that needed to be said,
00:09:44.576 --> 00:09:46.679
We were willing to articulate,
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:48.080
Things that may not have been popular,
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.416
Certainly not to the radical left,
00:09:50.416 --> 00:09:51.884
Even though they really resonate
00:09:51.884 --> 00:09:55.387
And, you know, that was an event.
00:09:56.121 --> 00:09:57.289
Yeah. you were there.
00:09:57.289 --> 00:09:58.457
I mean, it was like, hey, you guys got to cancel this.
00:09:58.457 --> 00:09:59.925
This guy's on the loose. he's threatening your life.
00:09:59.925 --> 00:10:01.660
And it's like, yeah, no, we're just going to go do it.
00:10:01.660 --> 00:10:03.429
And you know, we had no,
00:10:03.429 --> 00:10:04.830
You know, my father wasn't in office.
00:10:04.830 --> 00:10:06.098
We didn't have a secret service.
00:10:06.098 --> 00:10:07.232
We didn't have anything.
00:10:07.232 --> 00:10:08.434
But we were just, you know, unwilling to take the loss.
00:10:08.434 --> 00:10:09.902
I and that was a consistent theme.
00:10:09.902 --> 00:10:11.937
I remember
00:10:11.937 --> 00:10:13.172
Even in 16, i guess, we were at michigan state university
00:10:13.172 --> 00:10:15.974
And it was the same thing.
00:10:16.542 --> 00:10:18.343
You know, you've seen this a thousand times, right?
00:10:18.343 --> 00:10:20.713
You sell 5000 tickets.
00:10:20.713 --> 00:10:21.947
The school gives you a room that can hold a thousand,
00:10:21.947 --> 00:10:23.682
Because they don't want you to be able to get it out there.
00:10:23.682 --> 00:10:25.517
They don't want you to be able to, speak.
00:10:25.517 --> 00:10:27.886
And then they have to make sure to let in all the radicals
00:10:27.886 --> 00:10:29.988
And, you know, just to try to shut it down.
00:10:29.988 --> 00:10:31.690
I mean, it was an active
00:10:31.690 --> 00:10:33.559
It was an active attempt to thwart
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:35.360
Whatever it is that, you know,
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:36.595
Whatever movement was sort of building.
00:10:36.595 --> 00:10:38.731
And, you know, we got into a room and,
00:10:38.731 --> 00:10:40.499
You know, probably 20 1500 people
00:10:40.499 --> 00:10:42.735
And we're about to go on stage.
00:10:42.735 --> 00:10:43.902
And the michigan state police
00:10:43.902 --> 00:10:45.104
Literally pulled us aside and said,
00:10:45.104 --> 00:10:47.072
Hey, you know, we can't stop you from going,
00:10:47.072 --> 00:10:49.408
But we also can't guarantee your safety.
00:10:49.408 --> 00:10:51.176
It's it's pretty rowdy out there.
00:10:51.176 --> 00:10:52.377
And we both looked at each other and basically said,
00:10:52.377 --> 00:10:54.513
You know,
00:10:54.513 --> 00:10:55.447
I think we rather get our [__] kicked
00:10:55.447 --> 00:10:56.682
And then give them the win, you know, and not go out there.
00:10:56.682 --> 00:10:59.952
And we did.
00:10:59.952 --> 00:11:00.519
And we went out
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:01.620
And we spoke and like, we won over so much of the room
00:11:01.620 --> 00:11:03.822
That they just
00:11:03.822 --> 00:11:04.890
It was one of the most energetic,
00:11:04.890 --> 00:11:06.925
You know, of the many college events
00:11:06.925 --> 00:11:09.128
That we had done together because there was that,
00:11:09.128 --> 00:11:12.030
You know, just sort of lunacy from the left.
00:11:12.030 --> 00:11:14.066
And charlie did such a good job of being able to,
00:11:14.066 --> 00:11:16.602
You know, talk to them.
00:11:16.602 --> 00:11:17.603
And, you know, i'm a little spark.
00:11:17.603 --> 00:11:19.171
I run a little hotter, i guess, but,
00:11:19.171 --> 00:11:22.708
You know, for him to be able to start
00:11:22.708 --> 00:11:23.909
Having that conversation and,
00:11:23.909 --> 00:11:25.177
You know,
00:11:25.177 --> 00:11:26.178
Even the people who are reasonable, you know,
00:11:26.178 --> 00:11:27.179
If you went into that room with an open mind,
00:11:27.179 --> 00:11:28.447
He was able to win you over.
00:11:28.447 --> 00:11:29.982
Everyone was not going in there with an open mind.
00:11:29.982 --> 00:11:31.750
That didn't matter.
00:11:31.750 --> 00:11:32.918
You know, but we did such a good job of
00:11:32.918 --> 00:11:35.821
Just swinging that tie that, you know,
00:11:35.821 --> 00:11:37.489
They basically drowned out all the hatred,
00:11:37.489 --> 00:11:39.258
All of this, and just, frankly, energized,
00:11:39.258 --> 00:11:41.860
You know, not just the people on our side,
00:11:41.860 --> 00:11:44.129
But the people in the middle who are saying,
00:11:44.129 --> 00:11:46.165
You know, this is actually a really reasonable guy.
00:11:46.165 --> 00:11:48.634
And this actually makes a lot of sense.
00:11:48.634 --> 00:11:50.636
There's been a lot of speculation
00:11:51.370 --> 00:11:54.239
After charlie's death, and you see this kind of
00:11:54.239 --> 00:11:57.476
Some infighting, and you know, and i think people respect
00:11:57.476 --> 00:12:01.113
In a whole new way what charlie was actually doing
00:12:01.113 --> 00:12:03.916
And kind of the glue, you know, i have
00:12:03.916 --> 00:12:07.052
I take kind of a middle approach to it
00:12:07.052 --> 00:12:08.921
That i think we saw some of these fissures
00:12:08.921 --> 00:12:10.756
Coming on the horizon, and maybe it accelerated
00:12:10.756 --> 00:12:12.825
Some of the, the disagreements.
00:12:12.825 --> 00:12:14.293
Maybe, maybe he was really holding it back.
00:12:14.293 --> 00:12:16.128
It's it's tough to to understand
00:12:16.128 --> 00:12:18.197
What do you make of that?
00:12:18.197 --> 00:12:19.598
Are you do you have a new appreciation for it? did you.
00:12:19.598 --> 00:12:21.733
Oh, 100% i mean, listen,
00:12:21.733 --> 00:12:23.702
I'm used to the, you know, the fissures i'm used
00:12:23.702 --> 00:12:26.104
To, you know, people doing things for clicks.
00:12:26.104 --> 00:12:27.706
It's like you know, i get it.
00:12:27.706 --> 00:12:28.974
You know, politics has become a business for a lot of people.
00:12:28.974 --> 00:12:32.044
So, you know, i get that.
00:12:32.044 --> 00:12:33.946
But i probably didn't fully appreciate,
00:12:33.946 --> 00:12:36.481
You know, just how, you know, fragile.
00:12:36.481 --> 00:12:38.517
Some of it actually is, and, and how much he was able
00:12:38.517 --> 00:12:42.321
To hold that together or, you know, just,
00:12:42.321 --> 00:12:44.523
You know, put a stop to it.
00:12:44.523 --> 00:12:45.557
But, you know,
00:12:45.557 --> 00:12:46.558
We are actually willing to hear other opinions.
00:12:46.558 --> 00:12:50.329
We don't have to sort of blindly agree on everything.
00:12:50.329 --> 00:12:53.432
We can have those conversations.
00:12:53.432 --> 00:12:54.566
I'm not sure.
00:12:54.566 --> 00:12:55.334
I love the way
00:12:55.334 --> 00:12:56.268
Some of those conversations have unfolded,
00:12:56.268 --> 00:12:57.970
You know, certainly in the last couple of months.
00:12:57.970 --> 00:13:00.005
But, you know, that's the difference between us
00:13:00.005 --> 00:13:02.241
And the democrat party, whereas you know,
00:13:02.241 --> 00:13:04.142
You've seen it a thousand times, like
00:13:04.142 --> 00:13:05.577
If you're not 100%
00:13:05.577 --> 00:13:07.012
With everything, you could be a thought
00:13:07.012 --> 00:13:08.213
Leader of their movement for decades.
00:13:08.213 --> 00:13:09.948
And you, you free
00:13:09.948 --> 00:13:12.050
You went away on this one issue.
00:13:12.050 --> 00:13:13.719
You know, 1%. yeah.
00:13:13.719 --> 00:13:15.187
And you're out.
00:13:15.187 --> 00:13:16.154
You're persona non grata.
00:13:16.154 --> 00:13:17.356
You're cast aside despite, you know, decades of, you know,
00:13:17.356 --> 00:13:20.325
You know, work in that movement.
00:13:20.325 --> 00:13:21.860
You know we're a little different
00:13:21.860 --> 00:13:22.995
I think why we're able to,
00:13:22.995 --> 00:13:24.796
You know,
00:13:24.796 --> 00:13:25.931
Get to things that make sense is by actually having
00:13:25.931 --> 00:13:28.200
That conversation in that dialog.
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:29.568
And i thought charlie did that so well,
00:13:29.568 --> 00:13:31.570
You know,
00:13:31.570 --> 00:13:32.571
Not just within the movement, which i think
00:13:32.571 --> 00:13:34.106
We all probably recognize
00:13:34.106 --> 00:13:35.874
He was holding together or at least stopping, you know,
00:13:35.874 --> 00:13:38.510
Perhaps some of the insanity from, spreading.
00:13:38.510 --> 00:13:41.413
But by literally every day
00:13:41.980 --> 00:13:45.517
Opening up one of the largest platforms
00:13:45.517 --> 00:13:47.619
In the world, you know,
00:13:47.619 --> 00:13:48.520
Whether it's his podcast, whether it was
00:13:48.520 --> 00:13:49.922
Just being out there in public for social,
00:13:49.922 --> 00:13:51.990
You know, to those who hated him
00:13:51.990 --> 00:13:54.559
Most and, you know, giving them the opportunity
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.229
To speak, giving them the mic.
00:13:57.229 --> 00:13:58.797
And when when people heard both sides of that argument,
00:13:58.797 --> 00:14:01.233
They realized, oh, wait a second.
00:14:01.233 --> 00:14:03.035
I mean, it's why he was so effective
00:14:03.035 --> 00:14:04.303
On college campuses,
00:14:04.303 --> 00:14:05.270
Which he you know, when you say, like, hey,
00:14:05.270 --> 00:14:06.471
We got to do college campus tours in 16.
00:14:06.471 --> 00:14:08.106
I was like, are you gonna take your mind like, like this?
00:14:08.106 --> 00:14:10.075
Like that's lost. yeah. you know,
00:14:10.075 --> 00:14:13.011
That's that's over.
00:14:13.478 --> 00:14:14.713
You know, we'll get them when they're 30
00:14:14.713 --> 00:14:15.681
And they start paying taxes.
00:14:15.681 --> 00:14:17.149
But, you know, he was able to do that
00:14:17.149 --> 00:14:20.619
And have those conversations and again,
00:14:20.619 --> 00:14:22.087
Once people heard both sides, then they could sort of
00:14:22.087 --> 00:14:24.990
Pick a lane and run with it.
00:14:24.990 --> 00:14:26.658
And i think, you know, that that was
00:14:26.658 --> 00:14:28.427
Perhaps his biggest threat to the other side.
00:14:28.427 --> 00:14:31.496
You know, not that he was a radical
00:14:31.496 --> 00:14:32.631
Because charlie was like the least radical guy i know.
00:14:32.631 --> 00:14:35.867
Not that he was like a wild man,
00:14:35.867 --> 00:14:37.102
Because that too was not his thing.
00:14:37.102 --> 00:14:39.271
But, his threat was that he was actually so effective,
00:14:39.271 --> 00:14:42.908
At winning over and changing hearts and minds, you know,
00:14:42.908 --> 00:14:46.912
That, you know, that he became much more of a target.
00:14:46.912 --> 00:14:55.020
Where are
00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:56.588
The tears from the pain.
00:14:56.588 --> 00:14:58.924
The life that she lived.
00:14:58.924 --> 00:15:01.059
She's a survivor of auschwitz.
00:15:01.059 --> 00:15:04.496
The years that they would just beat her ears.
00:15:04.496 --> 00:15:07.265
That she didn't have food and felt hungry.
00:15:07.265 --> 00:15:10.569
And our answer is love.
00:15:11.069 --> 00:15:14.306
Before, with a gift of only $25.
00:15:14.306 --> 00:15:17.509
You'll deliver a life saving food box into the hands
00:15:17.509 --> 00:15:20.679
Of an elderly jew in need.
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:23.415
I wasn't only saying people have a heart.
00:15:23.415 --> 00:15:26.418

And jews will rush your food box today saudi arabia.
00:15:33.392 --> 00:15:37.262
This is a holy moment.
00:15:37.262 --> 00:15:39.031
What you're doing is not simply being kind.
00:15:39.031 --> 00:15:42.434
You are prophetically stepping into the scriptures
00:15:42.434 --> 00:15:46.271
And being part of their redemption and our own.

Without further ado, the
00:16:02.980 --> 00:16:04.148
Great michael knowles, great.
00:16:04.148 --> 00:16:08.185
I so much to see you.
00:16:08.685 --> 00:16:10.454
How are you, michael?
00:16:10.454 --> 00:16:12.890
You're always looking so dapper. stop it! get out.
00:16:12.890 --> 00:16:15.225
You're going to.
00:16:15.225 --> 00:16:16.326
Flattery will get you somewhere. it will get you is.
00:16:16.326 --> 00:16:17.661
I did have this, thought i said yesterday.
00:16:17.661 --> 00:16:20.431
I was on the main stage, you know, so
00:16:20.431 --> 00:16:21.932
I had to have my more official republican blue suit, red tie,
00:16:21.932 --> 00:16:25.969
You know?
00:16:25.969 --> 00:16:26.837
But i said this is more the casual day.
00:16:26.837 --> 00:16:28.539
Purple. it is a purple.
00:16:28.539 --> 00:16:29.840
I like to call it aubergine, but i it is purple, in fact.
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:32.910
Yeah.
00:16:32.910 --> 00:16:34.144
All right, so, your boss said some crazy stuff last night.
00:16:34.144 --> 00:16:36.647
You know, i, i don't know who put together the calendar,
00:16:37.748 --> 00:16:40.451
The schedule of events.
00:16:40.451 --> 00:16:41.752
I look, i said, okay, so i actually did that was it.
00:16:41.752 --> 00:16:44.621
This is it.
00:16:44.955 --> 00:16:45.522
This is charlie special.
00:16:45.522 --> 00:16:47.191
I get opening night is basically all charlie.
00:16:47.191 --> 00:16:49.693
That's great. right toward the top.
00:16:49.693 --> 00:16:50.828
We got ben, then we got tucker and i.
00:16:50.828 --> 00:16:52.863
I looked at, okay, here i am, right in the middle.
00:16:52.863 --> 00:16:54.932
It's kind of like being in the middle of india and pakistan
00:16:54.932 --> 00:16:58.469
In the middle of iran and iraq.
00:16:59.103 --> 00:17:00.938
But, i was funny too,
00:17:00.938 --> 00:17:02.940
Because that the point of my speech was to say, okay,
00:17:02.940 --> 00:17:05.809
What did charlie do? charlie did a million things.
00:17:05.809 --> 00:17:08.112
We're just talking about this backstage.
00:17:08.112 --> 00:17:09.613
Charlie did a million things, right.
00:17:09.613 --> 00:17:11.181
He debated at the top levels.
00:17:11.181 --> 00:17:12.883
He fundraised at the top levels. he did.
00:17:12.883 --> 00:17:15.519
He organized, he campaigned,
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:17.020
He did this, that, and the other wrote books.
00:17:17.020 --> 00:17:18.522
Right.
00:17:18.522 --> 00:17:19.823
But the distinctive thing that he did
00:17:19.823 --> 00:17:22.426
Was build and maintain coalitions, often
00:17:22.426 --> 00:17:25.562
Closely behind the scenes, mediating, negotiating,
00:17:25.562 --> 00:17:27.931
Sorting things out, keeping some people out.
00:17:27.931 --> 00:17:29.933
You're too kind,
00:17:29.933 --> 00:17:31.135
Keeping people in, even people in who hate each other's guts.
00:17:31.135 --> 00:17:33.770
And, you know, always moving forward toward a goal.
00:17:33.770 --> 00:17:36.540
So i get up there and i say, you know,
00:17:36.540 --> 00:17:38.041
I think my thesis is going to be blessed are the peacemakers.
00:17:38.041 --> 00:17:40.811
This is charlie's distinctive quality.
00:17:40.811 --> 00:17:42.412
We need to emulate this leo pope. leo.
00:17:42.412 --> 00:17:44.915
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:17:44.915 --> 00:17:48.051
And then.
00:17:48.352 --> 00:17:49.253
Yeah, go ahead. and then what happens?
00:17:49.253 --> 00:17:50.854
No one agrees with me, and everyone starts throwing elbows
00:17:50.854 --> 00:17:53.790
All night.
00:17:53.790 --> 00:17:54.925
I said, okay, well, never mind, i'll be over the bar.
00:17:54.925 --> 00:17:56.827
Listen, the the audience liked russell
00:17:56.827 --> 00:17:58.729
Brand's prayer and his whole thing last night.
00:17:58.729 --> 00:18:01.031
Right? you guys? yeah.
00:18:01.031 --> 00:18:03.066
They didn't have high marks for you, but that's okay.
00:18:03.066 --> 00:18:06.170
Yeah, that's why you're here.
00:18:06.170 --> 00:18:07.538
That's why you're here. you're.
00:18:07.538 --> 00:18:09.239
I'm. i'm so glad that you had, russell come in
00:18:09.239 --> 00:18:12.543
Because, you know, it opens up.
00:18:12.543 --> 00:18:15.145
Erica gives her beautiful speech.
00:18:15.145 --> 00:18:16.747
Then ben just starts throwing elbows everywhere,
00:18:16.747 --> 00:18:19.283
And i said, hold on.
00:18:19.283 --> 00:18:20.150
And then, you know, tucker is going
00:18:20.150 --> 00:18:21.151
To be punching back at ben.
00:18:21.151 --> 00:18:22.219
And i said, i really need russell to come there.
00:18:22.219 --> 00:18:24.521
Shirt buttoned down to the navel.
00:18:24.521 --> 00:18:26.323
You know, tom,
00:18:26.323 --> 00:18:27.024
I don't know, talking about
00:18:27.024 --> 00:18:28.091
Some kind of hippie, that it was great.
00:18:28.091 --> 00:18:29.626
I was really it was a nice palate cleanser.
00:18:29.626 --> 00:18:31.762
It really it was. it.
00:18:31.762 --> 00:18:33.630
The evening went well.
00:18:33.630 --> 00:18:35.165
But then of course, the headlines were maga civil
00:18:35.165 --> 00:18:39.036
War mayhem.
00:18:39.036 --> 00:18:40.571
They were like looking for all the m words.
00:18:40.571 --> 00:18:42.072
They could they could, put the daily mail, in a headline.
00:18:42.072 --> 00:18:45.576
So what do you make of that?
00:18:45.576 --> 00:18:47.277
What is this?
00:18:47.277 --> 00:18:48.512
Is this healthy? is this destructive?
00:18:48.512 --> 00:18:50.581
This you know, what do you make of it
00:18:50.581 --> 00:18:51.982
When you think of 20, 26?
00:18:51.982 --> 00:18:53.283
Oh, look, you know, i mean, i my my speech last night was,
00:18:53.283 --> 00:18:57.020
Contrary to maybe some of the other ones,
00:18:57.020 --> 00:18:59.623
Which is that i think it's very important
00:18:59.623 --> 00:19:01.992
To recognize that there's a coalition charlie built.
00:19:01.992 --> 00:19:04.661
And maybe you like that he invited some people.
00:19:04.661 --> 00:19:07.264
Maybe you wish you didn't invite some people,
00:19:07.264 --> 00:19:08.565
And maybe you wish he invited people in that he excluded.
00:19:08.565 --> 00:19:10.934
I don't know, i don't really care.
00:19:10.934 --> 00:19:12.002
He built a team. this is the team.
00:19:12.002 --> 00:19:13.270
This is the army. okay?
00:19:13.270 --> 00:19:14.338
Everyone here, all of you,
00:19:14.338 --> 00:19:15.839
This massive gathering of people
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:17.641
On the stage and more off the stage.
00:19:17.641 --> 00:19:19.276
You're on the team, okay?
00:19:19.276 --> 00:19:20.510
And so the team has a purpose.
00:19:20.510 --> 00:19:22.212
The team has a goal, and you got to
00:19:22.212 --> 00:19:23.447
Move down the field and you got to win.
00:19:23.447 --> 00:19:25.148
And the losers make policy,
00:19:25.148 --> 00:19:26.550
The winners make policy, and the losers go home.
00:19:26.550 --> 00:19:28.852
So my view is
00:19:28.852 --> 00:19:31.355
We don't want to paper over our differences.
00:19:31.355 --> 00:19:33.657
We're in a period of extreme flux right now.
00:19:33.657 --> 00:19:36.426
Obviously, we're coming to the end of the trump era.
00:19:36.426 --> 00:19:38.795
Trump has dominated.
00:19:38.795 --> 00:19:40.030
He's been the big dog for ten years.
00:19:40.030 --> 00:19:41.765
The heir apparent, obviously, is jd vance.
00:19:41.765 --> 00:19:44.368
So whenever there's a transition like that,
00:19:44.368 --> 00:19:47.771
There's going to be a big shift in all the differences
00:19:47.771 --> 00:19:50.374
In the factions that have existed for decades
00:19:50.374 --> 00:19:53.343
Are going to come out and people are going to vie
00:19:53.343 --> 00:19:54.978
For position and their view.
00:19:54.978 --> 00:19:56.647
My view is we should,
00:19:56.647 --> 00:20:00.150
Try to work those out in a in a way that is productive,
00:20:00.150 --> 00:20:03.220
That is offers grace to people that,
00:20:03.220 --> 00:20:06.590
Because if you take the infighting to its extreme
00:20:06.590 --> 00:20:10.661
And you say, look, give me what i want,
00:20:10.661 --> 00:20:12.529
Or i'm taking my ball and going home, well,
00:20:12.529 --> 00:20:14.998
Then we lose, you know, and then the left wins.
00:20:14.998 --> 00:20:17.200
And i guess
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:18.268
One of my very practical points in that speech is
00:20:18.268 --> 00:20:21.171
The left makes no distinction between any of those people
00:20:21.171 --> 00:20:23.540
On the stage.
00:20:23.540 --> 00:20:24.241
Okay.
00:20:24.241 --> 00:20:25.275
And the, and they will go after us all together.
00:20:25.275 --> 00:20:29.346
So we we have to win.
00:20:29.346 --> 00:20:31.515
This was an insight from charlie
00:20:31.515 --> 00:20:33.050
That you don't always get from pundits,
00:20:33.050 --> 00:20:34.751
Because it's easy to have an opinion
00:20:34.751 --> 00:20:36.420
And opinions are interesting,
00:20:36.420 --> 00:20:37.654
And especially some of the drama
00:20:37.654 --> 00:20:39.690
Online is really interesting and titillating. but
00:20:39.690 --> 00:20:42.959
Charlie wanted to win and
00:20:43.527 --> 00:20:45.429
Charlie did win, and charlie, like, kept winning.
00:20:45.429 --> 00:20:48.365
Not yeah, sort out your differences.
00:20:48.365 --> 00:20:50.133
Have your fun debate club
00:20:50.133 --> 00:20:51.468
Really, you know, work those issues.
00:20:51.468 --> 00:20:52.836
But when you know, what's crazy to me
00:20:52.836 --> 00:20:54.504
Is when i see, like 18 year old charlie,
00:20:54.504 --> 00:20:56.873
You know, like, on, neil cavuto or it's like local
00:20:56.873 --> 00:20:59.543
Chicago news and he's like, you know, we've got 15 chapters
00:20:59.543 --> 00:21:02.713
And he's got this chicago accent.
00:21:02.713 --> 00:21:04.147
He's like,
00:21:04.147 --> 00:21:05.048
And we're going to build an institution,
00:21:05.048 --> 00:21:06.350
And it's going to be, you know, it was the al capone.
00:21:06.350 --> 00:21:08.785
Yeah. hold on. was it? it blows my mind.
00:21:08.785 --> 00:21:11.221
You know, this first
00:21:11.221 --> 00:21:12.089
Neil cavuto where he was like,
00:21:12.089 --> 00:21:13.690
We've been having tremendous success on twitter.
00:21:13.690 --> 00:21:16.159
And it's been and i'm like,
00:21:16.159 --> 00:21:17.561
This is it's like the guy was just so ahead of it.
00:21:17.561 --> 00:21:20.831
He was always driven that way.
00:21:20.831 --> 00:21:22.532
And, you know, so to your point though,
00:21:22.532 --> 00:21:24.968
It's like i want to, you know, talk about this coalition.
00:21:24.968 --> 00:21:28.105
We did a thing before you got on here,
00:21:28.105 --> 00:21:30.173
But you should see it again.
00:21:30.173 --> 00:21:31.308
And, for the folks at home, just take my word for it.
00:21:31.308 --> 00:21:34.177
So who last night appreciated the ben shapiro approach?
00:21:34.177 --> 00:21:37.247
Hands up.
00:21:37.547 --> 00:21:39.216
Let's put my glasses on.
00:21:39.750 --> 00:21:41.051
Your glasses in the room?
00:21:41.051 --> 00:21:42.419
Probably more than half the room.
00:21:42.419 --> 00:21:43.587
And who appreciated the tucker carlson approach?
00:21:43.587 --> 00:21:46.556
Half the room.
00:21:46.556 --> 00:21:47.290
Yeah, right. yeah.
00:21:47.290 --> 00:21:48.592
5050. yeah.
00:21:48.592 --> 00:21:49.593
So if you wonder why charlie
00:21:49.593 --> 00:21:50.861
Constructed an opening night the way he did.
00:21:50.861 --> 00:21:52.763
Hey. hold on. you left one.
00:21:52.763 --> 00:21:53.830
Who who appreciated the michael knowles approach?
00:21:53.830 --> 00:21:55.665
Yeah, that's the whole room.
00:21:55.665 --> 00:21:56.933
That's it.
00:21:56.933 --> 00:21:57.367
Look at that.
00:21:57.367 --> 00:21:58.335
Yeah, yeah, we even get a whoop in there.
00:21:58.335 --> 00:22:01.004
Yeah. so.
00:22:01.004 --> 00:22:01.872
But when, when we talk about
00:22:01.872 --> 00:22:04.574
What we are dealing with, you mentioned that this stuff
00:22:04.574 --> 00:22:07.611
Had been simmering under the surface for years.
00:22:07.611 --> 00:22:11.348
I mean,
00:22:11.348 --> 00:22:12.549
You could go back to buckley and the birchers and it's like
00:22:12.549 --> 00:22:14.851
Some of this stuff is is as old as time
00:22:15.719 --> 00:22:17.587
And it's not going to go away, go back to roosevelt and taft.
00:22:17.587 --> 00:22:20.190
I mean, you know, i mean, you can keep going, but
00:22:20.190 --> 00:22:22.359
But when we talk about
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:23.994
Where this goes in kind of a shifting, a settling,
00:22:23.994 --> 00:22:27.697
Hopefully we come back together.
00:22:27.697 --> 00:22:28.865
These you don't expect necessarily
00:22:28.865 --> 00:22:30.834
Some of the fault lines to go away.
00:22:30.834 --> 00:22:35.172
As this year draws to an end,
00:22:35.806 --> 00:22:37.274
I'd like to express my
00:22:37.274 --> 00:22:38.642
Heartfelt gratitude to our partners, the fellowship
00:22:38.642 --> 00:22:41.645
Of christians and jews.
00:22:41.645 --> 00:22:43.180
And i'd like to say thank you to our audience
00:22:43.180 --> 00:22:45.615
Who have supported them in prayer, with finances
00:22:45.615 --> 00:22:47.851
And standing strong for the people of israel.
00:22:47.851 --> 00:22:49.953
The fellowship is one of america's
00:22:49.953 --> 00:22:51.421
Most beloved
00:22:51.421 --> 00:22:52.556
Organizations, spanning more than 40 years of ministry,
00:22:52.556 --> 00:22:54.991
Providing tangible help
00:22:54.991 --> 00:22:56.560
And comfort to the people of israel
00:22:56.560 --> 00:22:58.195
In the ukraine and across the former soviet union.
00:22:58.195 --> 00:23:01.164
This holiday season and every day of the year,
00:23:01.164 --> 00:23:03.300
The fellowship is called to serve
00:23:03.300 --> 00:23:04.835
The elderly jewish people,
00:23:04.835 --> 00:23:06.102
Many of whom are holocaust survivors who are now
00:23:06.102 --> 00:23:09.039
Living in the shadow of past wars, poverty and loneliness.
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:12.776
During this christmas time, join me and fulfill
00:23:12.776 --> 00:23:15.278
