Charlie Kirk Today | Eric Newman & Candace Lee: May 06, 2026 | Charlie Kirk Today | May 6, 2026
- We wanted to start
- 00:00:10.289 --> 00:00:11.657
- The show off in a kind of more fun
- 00:00:11.657 --> 00:00:15.260
- And jovial way, a little lighthearted way,
- 00:00:15.260 --> 00:00:18.030
- Because it's just too it's too easy.
- 00:00:18.030 --> 00:00:19.765
- It's too much fun.
- 00:00:19.765 --> 00:00:20.933
- And that is the met gala we knew was happening yesterday
- 00:00:20.933 --> 00:00:23.335
- Because i saw it trending on social media,
- 00:00:23.335 --> 00:00:25.437
- But i really could care less until you see
- 00:00:25.437 --> 00:00:29.341
- Some of the costumes,
- 00:00:29.341 --> 00:00:30.375
- Which are just too, too good not to comment on,
- 00:00:30.375 --> 00:00:33.912
- But let's just basically first premise this.
- 00:00:33.912 --> 00:00:37.116
- Blake, we're talking
- 00:00:37.116 --> 00:00:38.217
- About the elitist hypocrisy of the met gala,
- 00:00:38.217 --> 00:00:41.920
- Where tickets cost around $100,000 per person.
- 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:46.091
- They this whole event functions as a massive tax
- 00:00:46.091 --> 00:00:48.660
- Write offs for millionaires and billionaires, by the way,
- 00:00:48.660 --> 00:00:50.996
- Because they can just write it off as a business expense.
- 00:00:50.996 --> 00:00:54.066
- And they do these ostentatious
- 00:00:54.066 --> 00:00:57.970
- Displays of of inequality and they rage against the machine
- 00:00:57.970 --> 00:01:02.141
- And the man and capitalism and donald trump
- 00:01:02.141 --> 00:01:05.944
- All the way while wearing massively expensive outfits,
- 00:01:05.944 --> 00:01:09.882
- All passively opting out for being extraordinarily rich
- 00:01:09.882 --> 00:01:13.085
- And elitist and exclusionary in their own right.
- 00:01:13.085 --> 00:01:16.355
- And that's just too much fun not to to comment on.
- 00:01:16.355 --> 00:01:19.324
- Blake, you're a big met gala fan, right?
- 00:01:19.324 --> 00:01:21.760
- Well, so i will admit, i don't think i,
- 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.663
- I feel like it didn't quite penetrate my head
- 00:01:24.663 --> 00:01:26.365
- What the gala was until last year.
- 00:01:26.365 --> 00:01:28.734
- Like they be in the news and i was just like, oh,
- 00:01:28.734 --> 00:01:30.602
- Okay, whatever. and then
- 00:01:30.602 --> 00:01:34.439
- I just we started covering it more consistently
- 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.808
- On this show with charlie and we'd react to it.
- 00:01:36.808 --> 00:01:39.478
- And so i guess i, i'm vaguely aware of it now.
- 00:01:39.478 --> 00:01:42.748
- It seems like an excuse to wear dumb outfits,
- 00:01:42.748 --> 00:01:46.218
- But i did admit i found them pretty funny
- 00:01:46.218 --> 00:01:48.320
- This year.
- 00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:49.188
- I liked, i actually, i actually joked
- 00:01:49.188 --> 00:01:51.957
- About one last night.
- 00:01:51.957 --> 00:01:53.125
- A cardi b had some outfit where she looks like she's got
- 00:01:53.125 --> 00:01:56.428
- Kind of a bunch of polyps or tumors growing off of her.
- 00:01:56.428 --> 00:01:59.865
- She do we have the car? do we have it yet?
- 00:01:59.865 --> 00:02:02.267
- She kind of looked like, she kind of looked like,
- 00:02:02.267 --> 00:02:05.337
- If you ever saw the 80s movie akira
- 00:02:05.337 --> 00:02:07.339
- Where this guy is a psychic
- 00:02:07.339 --> 00:02:08.840
- And his body starts bloating up into a giant monster
- 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.810
- That destroys tokyo.
- 00:02:11.810 --> 00:02:12.978
- She kind of looks like that. got it.
- 00:02:12.978 --> 00:02:15.013
- Okay, i haven't seen it yet.
- 00:02:15.013 --> 00:02:16.648
- Hopefully the team can get it to us.
- 00:02:16.648 --> 00:02:18.550
- But we do have b-roll of the the gala,
- 00:02:18.550 --> 00:02:21.820
- So we should put that up.
- 00:02:21.820 --> 00:02:22.754
- Put the b-roll up.
- 00:02:22.754 --> 00:02:24.122
- It's, i think that's, what's that guy's name again?
- 00:02:24.122 --> 00:02:26.592
- The sam something or other.
- 00:02:26.592 --> 00:02:28.927
- He's sam smith.
- 00:02:28.927 --> 00:02:30.395
- Yeah, he's the, the gay british singer, who showed up
- 00:02:30.395 --> 00:02:36.802
- As some sort of dark overlord or something.
- 00:02:36.802 --> 00:02:39.605
- I don't know, it's like, maleficent.
- 00:02:39.605 --> 00:02:42.341
- I'm not sure what it is.
- 00:02:42.341 --> 00:02:43.508
- I guess the theme was he looks.
- 00:02:43.508 --> 00:02:45.410
- Fashion is art.
- 00:02:45.410 --> 00:02:46.645
- The stuff out of his head makes him look kind of
- 00:02:46.645 --> 00:02:48.880
- Like an exotic insect, in a way.
- 00:02:48.880 --> 00:02:50.983
- Well, that that could be it.
- 00:02:50.983 --> 00:02:52.918
- It looks like a really tough thing to walk in.
- 00:02:52.918 --> 00:02:55.854
- This person not sure what's going on.
- 00:02:55.854 --> 00:02:59.625
- Exactly.
- 00:02:59.891 --> 00:03:01.026
- But, oh, this is we do have we do have cardi b coming.
- 00:03:01.026 --> 00:03:05.230
- The b-roll of sam smith.
- 00:03:05.764 --> 00:03:08.300
- Him dressed as a satan, if you remember all that.
- 00:03:08.300 --> 00:03:11.169
- Okay, there we go.
- 00:03:11.169 --> 00:03:11.870
- There's cardi b with all of the
- 00:03:11.870 --> 00:03:14.339
- Tumor stuff around her.
- 00:03:14.339 --> 00:03:16.942
- Yeah. that's interesting.
- 00:03:16.942 --> 00:03:18.243
- I'm not sure what they're going for there.
- 00:03:18.243 --> 00:03:20.479
- Yeah. i'm not.
- 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:21.346
- I don't think it matters to awful much.
- 00:03:21.346 --> 00:03:23.448
- It's just supposed to be,
- 00:03:23.448 --> 00:03:25.717
- I think over the top is is the goal.
- 00:03:25.717 --> 00:03:28.654
- And so, i don't know.
- 00:03:28.654 --> 00:03:30.656
- Sinister thoughts.
- 00:03:30.656 --> 00:03:31.757
- What do you guys think of the met gala and is it just.
- 00:03:31.757 --> 00:03:34.293
- Are we
- 00:03:34.293 --> 00:03:35.494
- Are we doing the wrong thing by even giving oxygen here?
- 00:03:35.494 --> 00:03:37.929
- That's one of the arguments i actually think it's prime,
- 00:03:37.929 --> 00:03:40.799
- Fodder for there we go.
- 00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:43.468
- That one is, sarah paulson.
- 00:03:43.468 --> 00:03:45.304
- She has a dollar bill over her eyes, i think.
- 00:03:45.304 --> 00:03:47.939
- So you get capitalism blinded.
- 00:03:47.939 --> 00:03:49.841
- Wait. remember, she's worth $12 million.
- 00:03:49.841 --> 00:03:51.643
- But yeah, if they have forgotten,
- 00:03:51.643 --> 00:03:53.211
- I believe the met gala is where, aoc,
- 00:03:53.211 --> 00:03:57.816
- She wore the eat the rich, eat the rich thing.
- 00:03:57.816 --> 00:03:59.818
- And so similarly.
- 00:03:59.818 --> 00:04:00.886
- Or we have a person with using a $100,000 ticket
- 00:04:00.886 --> 00:04:03.689
- To wear an outfit to this fantastic
- 00:04:03.689 --> 00:04:07.826
- Display of wealth and celebrity puts a dollar over her eyes
- 00:04:07.826 --> 00:04:10.662
- To be like, money is ruling us.
- 00:04:10.662 --> 00:04:14.333
- We need to have sympathy with the poor.
- 00:04:14.333 --> 00:04:17.069
- It's it's a very performative thing.
- 00:04:17.069 --> 00:04:19.104
- It's very rejection.
- 00:04:19.104 --> 00:04:20.305
- Actress sarah paulson was seen wearing a dollar bill over her
- 00:04:20.305 --> 00:04:23.008
- Face to call out the 1%
- 00:04:23.008 --> 00:04:25.844
- Who are blinded by money.
- 00:04:25.844 --> 00:04:27.779
- Paulson, as i mentioned, is reportedly worth
- 00:04:27.779 --> 00:04:30.282
- Over $12 million herself.
- 00:04:30.282 --> 00:04:33.085
- So that's the kind of, champagne socialism
- 00:04:33.085 --> 00:04:36.788
- That you get at the met gala every year.
- 00:04:36.788 --> 00:04:38.724
- And it's just it's hilarious.
- 00:04:38.724 --> 00:04:40.892
- Nobody does ostentatious like libs.
- 00:04:40.892 --> 00:04:43.595
- Nobody does
- 00:04:43.595 --> 00:04:45.097
- Elitist, like hollywood and the entertainment class.
- 00:04:45.097 --> 00:04:49.067
- And yet they are the ones that live behind gated communities.
- 00:04:49.067 --> 00:04:52.137
- They're the ones that do not
- 00:04:52.137 --> 00:04:53.171
- Have to suffer under the decision
- 00:04:53.171 --> 00:04:56.908
- Making of democrats, democrats, socialists.
- 00:04:56.908 --> 00:04:59.411
- Oh, and there's, who's this gal?
- 00:04:59.411 --> 00:05:00.946
- This is this one made a lot of headlines.
- 00:05:00.946 --> 00:05:02.748
- I remember yesterday,
- 00:05:02.748 --> 00:05:04.349
- This is i'm going to get the name for you.
- 00:05:04.349 --> 00:05:06.618
- This is, anna rose philip, the first black
- 00:05:06.618 --> 00:05:10.422
- Transgender woman with quadriplegic
- 00:05:10.422 --> 00:05:12.891
- Cerebral palsy signed to a major
- 00:05:12.891 --> 00:05:14.960
- Modeling agency arriving at the met gala.
- 00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:17.462
- Okay, so we actually debated whether or not
- 00:05:17.462 --> 00:05:20.031
- We're going to talk about this person.
- 00:05:20.031 --> 00:05:22.167
- I'd never heard of her before or him,
- 00:05:22.167 --> 00:05:24.269
- Because it's actually transgender.
- 00:05:24.269 --> 00:05:25.570
- But that was our decision.
- 00:05:25.570 --> 00:05:26.738
- It's actually somebody that is a trans identifying
- 00:05:26.738 --> 00:05:30.409
- Black person who's quadriplegic,
- 00:05:30.409 --> 00:05:33.979
- Cerebral palsy, and they've somehow been signed
- 00:05:33.979 --> 00:05:36.381
- To a modeling agency, which i find to be fascinating.
- 00:05:36.381 --> 00:05:39.985
- And yeah, i'm sorry that this person has this disability,
- 00:05:39.985 --> 00:05:43.155
- But the whole,
- 00:05:43.155 --> 00:05:44.256
- Projection and the virtue signaling of it is really
- 00:05:44.256 --> 00:05:48.193
- I think i saw one post that was like breaking
- 00:05:48.193 --> 00:05:50.729
- Barriers everywhere, you know, glass ceiling brick.
- 00:05:50.729 --> 00:05:53.665
- And i'm like, wait, glass?
- 00:05:53.665 --> 00:05:55.767
- This is a it's a dude.
- 00:05:55.767 --> 00:05:57.068
- That's a that's a that's a man, actually.
- 00:05:57.068 --> 00:05:59.771
- And you.
- 00:05:59.771 --> 00:06:00.672
- So the man breaking the glass ceiling.
- 00:06:00.672 --> 00:06:02.274
- Anyways, none of it makes sense, but it sure is fun
- 00:06:02.274 --> 00:06:06.445
- To comment on and make fun of, because guess what?
- 00:06:06.445 --> 00:06:09.881
- It's all fake.
- 00:06:09.881 --> 00:06:10.749
- And you know what kids say.
- 00:06:10.749 --> 00:06:12.617
- It's it's all performative and it's hard not to laugh at.
- 00:06:12.617 --> 00:06:16.488
- But this is their this is like their super bowl for fashion.
- 00:06:16.488 --> 00:06:19.357
- This is the fashion super bowl.
- 00:06:19.357 --> 00:06:20.592
- Blake, you would fit in wonderfully.
- 00:06:20.592 --> 00:06:23.295
- I certainly i would pay money to see blake react
- 00:06:23.295 --> 00:06:26.731
- Live to this.
- 00:06:27.098 --> 00:06:28.366
- Oh, man.
- 00:06:28.366 --> 00:06:29.468
- You're going to make me. you're gonna inflict that.
- 00:06:29.468 --> 00:06:30.569
- I mean, that's actually what we should do next year.
- 00:06:30.569 --> 00:06:32.003
- Oh, gosh.
- 00:06:32.003 --> 00:06:32.938
- You, my friend, we're going to make blake
- 00:06:32.938 --> 00:06:34.206
- Watch the red carpet and live react for me.
- 00:06:34.206 --> 00:06:37.442
- That would be. that would do. numbers.
- 00:06:37.442 --> 00:06:41.995
- That would be. that would do. numbers.
- 00:06:41.995 --> 00:06:49.385
- Without further ado i want to bring in our next
- 00:06:50.320 --> 00:06:52.555
- Two guests who have written an amazing new book.
- 00:06:52.555 --> 00:06:54.390
- These are new york times
- 00:06:54.390 --> 00:06:55.458
- Bestselling authors, candace lee and eric newman.
- 00:06:55.458 --> 00:06:58.228
- They're the authors of a new book
- 00:06:58.228 --> 00:06:59.762
- Called george, goodwin dragonslayer.
- 00:06:59.762 --> 00:07:03.466
- I believe, bear grylls is involved in the project.
- 00:07:03.466 --> 00:07:06.035
- Candace and eric, welcome to the charlie kirk show.
- 00:07:06.035 --> 00:07:09.572
- Hey, good to be here.
- 00:07:10.073 --> 00:07:11.474
- Thanks so much for having us. nice backdrop.
- 00:07:11.474 --> 00:07:13.676
- I love that you got that.
- 00:07:13.676 --> 00:07:15.411
- The branding is on point.
- 00:07:15.411 --> 00:07:16.813
- All right.
- 00:07:16.813 --> 00:07:17.280
- So i'm convinced
- 00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:18.548
- That we got to get younger and younger people inspired.
- 00:07:18.548 --> 00:07:22.185
- They need to be activated.
- 00:07:22.185 --> 00:07:23.720
- They need to feel their own agency,
- 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:25.221
- The power of their own imagination.
- 00:07:25.221 --> 00:07:26.556
- So i love what you guys are doing here.
- 00:07:26.556 --> 00:07:28.791
- Tell us about it.
- 00:07:28.791 --> 00:07:29.959
- It's a scouting legend.
- 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:31.327
- So i have questions about what you mean by that.
- 00:07:31.327 --> 00:07:33.162
- But tell us about the book and why you wrote it.
- 00:07:33.162 --> 00:07:35.698
- Yeah.
- 00:07:35.932 --> 00:07:37.066
- Well, there's a famous quote often attributed to g.k.
- 00:07:37.066 --> 00:07:40.737
- Chesterton that really inspired us.
- 00:07:40.737 --> 00:07:43.072
- And it's, fairy tales exist not to tell us
- 00:07:43.072 --> 00:07:47.076
- Not to tell children
- 00:07:47.076 --> 00:07:48.511
- That dragons are real, but that they can be killed.
- 00:07:48.511 --> 00:07:51.681
- And that really is the heart of the story.
- 00:07:51.681 --> 00:07:54.584
- Is we were inspired, yes, to tell a great story,
- 00:07:54.584 --> 00:07:57.587
- A fun story, an exciting story that hooks readers.
- 00:07:57.587 --> 00:08:01.424
- But we also, you know, we all know that
- 00:08:01.424 --> 00:08:03.359
- There are dragons everywhere and we want to inspire
- 00:08:03.359 --> 00:08:05.562
- Young men and women to, rise up and slay them.
- 00:08:05.562 --> 00:08:08.798
- Absolutely.
- 00:08:09.132 --> 00:08:10.133
- Yeah.
- 00:08:10.133 --> 00:08:10.733
- And just storyline wise,
- 00:08:10.733 --> 00:08:12.035
- It's about what you think it's about.
- 00:08:12.035 --> 00:08:13.536
- It is a young guy
- 00:08:13.536 --> 00:08:15.171
- Who, is faced with an impossible situation.
- 00:08:15.171 --> 00:08:19.108
- He goes on a weekend camping trip
- 00:08:19.108 --> 00:08:20.710
- And ends up having to save his whole town.
- 00:08:20.710 --> 00:08:22.478
- But it really is, at its core, one of those david
- 00:08:22.478 --> 00:08:25.381
- And goliath stories.
- 00:08:25.381 --> 00:08:26.382
- The kind of story that,
- 00:08:26.382 --> 00:08:27.984
- You know, we wanted the cover of the book.
- 00:08:27.984 --> 00:08:29.852
- I'll just hold it up here.
- 00:08:29.852 --> 00:08:30.687
- We wanted
- 00:08:30.687 --> 00:08:31.588
- Even the youngest, reader to be able to
- 00:08:31.588 --> 00:08:33.890
- Look at that and know, okay, this is a story
- 00:08:33.890 --> 00:08:36.726
- Where somebody is going to defy the odds and do something
- 00:08:36.726 --> 00:08:40.496
- That seems impossible.
- 00:08:40.496 --> 00:08:41.631
- And so that's really
- 00:08:41.631 --> 00:08:42.832
- Our heart is to inspire the next generation to see that
- 00:08:42.832 --> 00:08:46.469
- You do have a hero inside you.
- 00:08:46.469 --> 00:08:48.104
- And sometimes it might take something
- 00:08:48.104 --> 00:08:49.439
- Really scary, a dragon to draw it out.
- 00:08:49.439 --> 00:08:52.241
- Yeah.
- 00:08:52.475 --> 00:08:52.976
- So you say it so,
- 00:08:52.976 --> 00:08:54.143
- You know, there's a warning from from bear grylls here.
- 00:08:54.143 --> 00:08:56.846
- I love it, by the way. good morning.
- 00:08:56.846 --> 00:08:58.648
- This adventure is full of danger.
- 00:08:58.648 --> 00:09:00.817
- It's got dragons and death, coal mines and cold blooded
- 00:09:00.817 --> 00:09:03.252
- Killers, treasure and true love.
- 00:09:03.252 --> 00:09:04.654
- The stuff legends are made of.
- 00:09:04.654 --> 00:09:05.822
- But even more dangerous to the kids in this tale.
- 00:09:05.822 --> 00:09:07.857
- They're tough, they're brave.
- 00:09:07.857 --> 00:09:08.992
- And they're exactly the kind of heroes our world needs.
- 00:09:08.992 --> 00:09:11.060
- And i kind of love the premise.
- 00:09:11.060 --> 00:09:12.295
- It's like, so it's set in west virginia,
- 00:09:12.295 --> 00:09:15.531
- And you know that coal mines that are strictly forbidden
- 00:09:15.531 --> 00:09:18.201
- To go in.
- 00:09:18.201 --> 00:09:19.302
- But 12 year old george goodwin knows something more.
- 00:09:19.302 --> 00:09:21.604
- Deep underground lies
- 00:09:21.604 --> 00:09:22.538
- A treasure
- 00:09:22.538 --> 00:09:23.673
- That could save his town and clear his father's name.
- 00:09:23.673 --> 00:09:26.175
- And so then. then he's with the scouting troop.
- 00:09:26.175 --> 00:09:28.211
- So explain the tie in with the scouting.
- 00:09:28.211 --> 00:09:30.680
- Angle here.
- 00:09:30.680 --> 00:09:32.548
- Yeah, yeah.
- 00:09:32.882 --> 00:09:34.017
- Well, we we love stories where kids are in the driver's
- 00:09:34.017 --> 00:09:38.187
- Seat, you know, like, we think back to, like, goonies
- 00:09:38.187 --> 00:09:40.923
- And even jurassic park, where there's kids
- 00:09:40.923 --> 00:09:43.059
- Who have to make choices in impossible situations.
- 00:09:43.059 --> 00:09:46.295
- And eric and i were sitting around years ago
- 00:09:46.295 --> 00:09:49.165
- Working actually, on another project,
- 00:09:49.165 --> 00:09:50.900
- And we were looking at a character
- 00:09:50.900 --> 00:09:53.736
- Who is a side character who was a scout.
- 00:09:53.736 --> 00:09:56.039
- And the more we started talking about
- 00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:57.273
- It were like, man, scouts are awesome.
- 00:09:57.273 --> 00:09:58.941
- They are young people who actually know how to do things.
- 00:09:58.941 --> 00:10:01.611
- You could throw them in any situation,
- 00:10:01.611 --> 00:10:03.312
- And a scout
- 00:10:03.312 --> 00:10:04.480
- Could probably outperform me when it comes to survival,
- 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.116
- But they're just so broad and what they can do,
- 00:10:07.116 --> 00:10:10.186
- And it's the rare place in society now.
- 00:10:10.186 --> 00:10:12.855
- I mean, we talk about, you know, get out and touch grass.
- 00:10:12.855 --> 00:10:15.458
- It's the rare place where kids have a little bit of autonomy
- 00:10:15.458 --> 00:10:19.429
- And they can adventure on their own,
- 00:10:19.429 --> 00:10:21.664
- Learn skills on their own.
- 00:10:21.664 --> 00:10:22.999
- And we thought, man,
- 00:10:22.999 --> 00:10:24.300
- This would be a fun place to start a story.
- 00:10:24.300 --> 00:10:28.037
- So we imagined this 12 year old boy,
- 00:10:28.037 --> 00:10:30.373
- You know, and we had kind of this
- 00:10:30.373 --> 00:10:31.574
- Lightning bolt brainstorm session, a 12 year old boy.
- 00:10:31.574 --> 00:10:35.078
- This should take place in west virginia.
- 00:10:35.078 --> 00:10:36.446
- We just could imagine a dragon in a coal mine.
- 00:10:36.446 --> 00:10:39.682
- And then we thought, how?
- 00:10:39.682 --> 00:10:41.451
- Who would be that fellow?
- 00:10:41.451 --> 00:10:43.152
- Who would be
- 00:10:43.152 --> 00:10:44.687
- The rest of the crew that helps take this dragon down?
- 00:10:44.687 --> 00:10:47.790
- We thought it was a scouting patrol.
- 00:10:47.790 --> 00:10:49.659
- And his best friends.
- 00:10:49.659 --> 00:10:50.960
- So it just kind of, like, naturally emerged.
- 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:53.362
- And it's the kind of story that we happen to love.
- 00:10:53.362 --> 00:10:56.532
- Yeah. and i appreciate that for sure.
- 00:10:56.532 --> 00:10:58.768
- I'm an eagle scout myself,
- 00:10:58.768 --> 00:11:00.069
- Charlie was an eagle scout as well.
- 00:11:00.069 --> 00:11:01.671
- Were you in the scouts?
- 00:11:01.671 --> 00:11:02.438
- No, never.
- 00:11:02.438 --> 00:11:03.439
- I came from a ranching family that like my.
- 00:11:03.439 --> 00:11:05.775
- So the experience was literally just like
- 00:11:05.775 --> 00:11:07.610
- On a horse in the desert.
- 00:11:07.610 --> 00:11:09.011
- It sounds like a great way to be a scout,
- 00:11:09.011 --> 00:11:10.513
- But no, but that's appreciated, because i am.
- 00:11:10.513 --> 00:11:13.783
- I'm sure we followed the travails
- 00:11:13.783 --> 00:11:16.018
- Of the main scouting organization, the boy scouts,
- 00:11:16.018 --> 00:11:18.921
- Which became the gender nondeterministic scouts.
- 00:11:18.921 --> 00:11:22.158
- But they're making sense.
- 00:11:22.158 --> 00:11:23.326
- They're making some progress. they're coming back.
- 00:11:23.326 --> 00:11:25.561
- It's it's certainly been a saga.
- 00:11:25.561 --> 00:11:26.929
- It's been difficult. it's been frustrating.
- 00:11:26.929 --> 00:11:29.298
- And i suppose
- 00:11:29.298 --> 00:11:32.001
- I appreciate you guys for evoking the classic image
- 00:11:32.001 --> 00:11:35.371
- Of a scout.
- 00:11:35.371 --> 00:11:36.572
- I don't know if you describe any specific scouting group
- 00:11:36.572 --> 00:11:38.274
- They're in,
- 00:11:38.274 --> 00:11:39.142
- But that that really is a set of values
- 00:11:39.142 --> 00:11:41.310
- That was hugely useful in america, hugely positive
- 00:11:41.310 --> 00:11:44.380
- For boys, and i approve of evoking that,
- 00:11:44.380 --> 00:11:48.084
- Even if we know that today,
- 00:11:48.084 --> 00:11:50.019
- You know, the left went after it
- 00:11:50.019 --> 00:11:51.087
- Precisely because it was such a good thing.
- 00:11:51.087 --> 00:11:52.822
- Yeah, but it is coming back.
- 00:11:52.822 --> 00:11:54.023
- I mean, they partnered with,
- 00:11:54.023 --> 00:11:55.291
- Secretary of war hedge seth, and they're making headway.
- 00:11:55.291 --> 00:11:58.227
- I don't know if you have insights into that.
- 00:11:58.227 --> 00:11:59.862
- If that's part of,
- 00:11:59.862 --> 00:12:01.197
- You know, what's going on in the background here or not.
- 00:12:01.197 --> 00:12:02.899
- But, i agree with blake that the values of scouting
- 00:12:02.899 --> 00:12:05.935
- Is so critically important to the next generation.
- 00:12:05.935 --> 00:12:08.304
- That's why the left went after it.
- 00:12:08.304 --> 00:12:10.106
- If, if we're being honest.
- 00:12:10.106 --> 00:12:11.841
- Yeah, there's something about the,
- 00:12:12.608 --> 00:12:14.577
- There's not very many opportunities for young people
- 00:12:14.577 --> 00:12:17.847
- To kind of
- 00:12:17.847 --> 00:12:18.748
- Put on a specific identity that carries
- 00:12:18.748 --> 00:12:22.018
- The values of scouting.
- 00:12:22.018 --> 00:12:23.619
- And, you know, my son just, became a scout.
- 00:12:23.619 --> 00:12:26.556
- He's six years old.
- 00:12:26.556 --> 00:12:27.623
- And he went on his first, camp out as a lion cub.
- 00:12:27.623 --> 00:12:31.727
- And it was interesting when he saw a picture of himself,
- 00:12:31.727 --> 00:12:35.698
- You know, i'm doing mom milestone.
- 00:12:35.698 --> 00:12:37.733
- He saw a picture of himself in a uniform,
- 00:12:37.733 --> 00:12:40.169
- And he looked at himself and he goes,
- 00:12:40.169 --> 00:12:42.071
- Oh my goodness, mom, i look fearless.
- 00:12:42.071 --> 00:12:45.141
- And then he came home from his first camp out
- 00:12:45.141 --> 00:12:47.210
- And i said, hey, i'm i'm a little cold.
- 00:12:47.210 --> 00:12:49.245
- He brought me the blanket
- 00:12:49.245 --> 00:12:50.546
- And said, i'm courteous, mom, because i'm a scout.
- 00:12:50.546 --> 00:12:53.583
- And there is something about stepping in to,
- 00:12:53.583 --> 00:12:56.219
- An identity that carries a virtue, that carries
- 00:12:56.219 --> 00:12:59.655
- These responsibilities with them, that
- 00:12:59.655 --> 00:13:02.458
- That's something that we did want to kind of evoke
- 00:13:02.458 --> 00:13:04.694
- With this story, that there's a young man
- 00:13:04.694 --> 00:13:06.495
- Who's not only,
- 00:13:06.495 --> 00:13:07.597
- You know, he's a scout, but he's stepping
- 00:13:07.597 --> 00:13:09.098
- Into this identity as a dragonslayer.
- 00:13:09.098 --> 00:13:11.067
- And that's really broader than any one organization.
- 00:13:11.067 --> 00:13:14.003
- That's something that all of us can aspire to.
- 00:13:14.003 --> 00:13:16.572
- You know, when you look at that scout, sorry,
- 00:13:16.572 --> 00:13:19.041
- When you look at the scout guy.
- 00:13:19.041 --> 00:13:21.310
- Sorry, sorry.
- 00:13:21.310 --> 00:13:22.211
- Well, someone on our staff was asking,
- 00:13:22.211 --> 00:13:23.045
- You know, george dragonslayer.
- 00:13:23.045 --> 00:13:24.547
- Is there symbolic meaning to the name?
- 00:13:24.547 --> 00:13:27.650
- Obviously, there's saint george as the great dragon.
- 00:13:27.650 --> 00:13:29.752
- George washington.
- 00:13:29.752 --> 00:13:30.953
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was, that was part of our lightning
- 00:13:30.953 --> 00:13:35.057
- Bolt inspiration 15 years ago when we first started this.
- 00:13:35.057 --> 00:13:37.793
- We're like, how? what's his name?
- 00:13:37.793 --> 00:13:40.096
- And i remember katniss goes, it's george, it's george.
- 00:13:40.096 --> 00:13:43.099
- Because this will be
- 00:13:43.099 --> 00:13:44.233
- A modern day reimagining of the legend of saint george.
- 00:13:44.233 --> 00:13:47.570
- And that just clicked with us.
- 00:13:47.570 --> 00:13:49.105
- And so there's
- 00:13:49.105 --> 00:13:50.339
- Some saint george threads woven throughout the whole story.
- 00:13:50.339 --> 00:13:53.609
- Yeah.
- 00:13:53.843 --> 00:13:54.243
- And, you know,
- 00:13:54.243 --> 00:13:55.478
- The cool thing is, like saint the legend of saint george,
- 00:13:55.478 --> 00:13:58.247
- It's, it's a story that exists in lots of different cultures,
- 00:13:58.247 --> 00:14:01.784
- But over time it's kind of been lost.
- 00:14:01.784 --> 00:14:03.653
- And i think that speaks to how, you know, there
- 00:14:03.653 --> 00:14:06.656
- Are so many great stories, the kind of stories that,
- 00:14:06.656 --> 00:14:10.459
- Move and inspire as a have kind of gotten lost
- 00:14:10.459 --> 00:14:12.561
- To this generation.
- 00:14:12.561 --> 00:14:13.696
- And so we love the idea of being able to reimagine that
- 00:14:13.696 --> 00:14:17.033
- Because we just we believe that this the stories
- 00:14:17.033 --> 00:14:19.802
- Kind of work in this space of imagination,
- 00:14:19.802 --> 00:14:22.505
- That ultimately the bridge between the heart and the mind.
- 00:14:22.505 --> 00:14:26.943
- And, you know, we want to take ideas
- 00:14:26.943 --> 00:14:29.312
- That are out there and kind of help ground them in stories
- 00:14:29.312 --> 00:14:33.115
- So that they can move from just being ideas to becoming,
- 00:14:33.115 --> 00:14:36.752
- You know, beliefs and convictions.
- 00:14:36.752 --> 00:14:38.321
- And so, that's that's
- 00:14:38.321 --> 00:14:40.623
- Just one of the things we love about storytelling.
- 00:14:40.623 --> 00:14:42.692
- So you would say that this book is probably
- 00:14:42.692 --> 00:14:46.562
- Best geared for what ages?
- 00:14:46.562 --> 00:14:49.298
- It's technically middle grade.
- 00:14:49.899 --> 00:14:51.734
- So you're looking at like, the percy jackson, right.
- 00:14:51.734 --> 00:14:55.237
- The percy jackson audience.
- 00:14:55.237 --> 00:14:56.639
- So they say,
- 00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:57.840
- Like fourth to, like seventh or eighth grade in that range.
- 00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:01.010
- And, that happens to be one of our favorite genres.
- 00:15:01.010 --> 00:15:04.480
- You know, we were both raised on goonies.
- 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:06.882
- Yeah.
- 00:15:06.882 --> 00:15:07.817
- And, we loved, like, adventurous stories
- 00:15:07.817 --> 00:15:11.420
- Where the stakes are really high.
- 00:15:11.420 --> 00:15:12.888
- It's life or death.
- 00:15:12.888 --> 00:15:14.190
- And, but, yeah, at the heart of the story
- 00:15:14.190 --> 00:15:16.559
- Are is a group of kids. yeah.
- 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.661
- And we we really did our best.

- They range from 12 to 17.
- 00:15:24.567 --> 00:15:28.371
- But really, even the moms are awesome in the book.
- 00:15:28.371 --> 00:15:30.806
- We kind of wanted to make it something
- 00:15:30.806 --> 00:15:32.141
- That if a family sits around and reads it aloud,
- 00:15:32.141 --> 00:15:34.844
- There is something that everybody can, you know,
- 00:15:34.844 --> 00:15:38.180
- Everyone can enjoy and also everyone
- 00:15:38.180 --> 00:15:40.149
- Can kind of aspire to it in some ways.
- 00:15:40.149 --> 00:15:41.784
- So yeah, it's a fun story.
- 00:15:41.784 --> 00:15:44.487

- Yeah, there's a line from one of the characters
- 00:16:29.632 --> 00:16:31.467
- And she says, you know, there's breath in my lungs.
- 00:16:31.467 --> 00:16:34.904

- Don't go anywhere.
- 00:17:50.946 --> 00:17:54.989
- Don't go anywhere.
- 00:17:54.989 --> 00:18:01.088
- So we are joined
- 00:18:01.488 --> 00:18:02.623
- By candace lee and eric newman, authors of the new book
- 00:18:02.623 --> 00:18:07.094
- Called george goodwin, dragonslayer.
- 00:18:07.094 --> 00:18:11.365
- I didn't even have in front of me, i just did.
- 00:18:11.365 --> 00:18:12.666
- That is a good name.
- 00:18:12.666 --> 00:18:13.834
- All right, so let's talk about let's talk about woke lib,
- 00:18:13.834 --> 00:18:17.571
- Literature for this kind of age,
- 00:18:17.571 --> 00:18:19.406
- What our kids up against, like,
- 00:18:19.406 --> 00:18:20.641
- What are they reading in schools?
- 00:18:20.641 --> 00:18:22.743
- Because it's so important that they have alternatives
- 00:18:22.743 --> 00:18:25.078
- That are actually good, exciting, daring, adventurous.
- 00:18:25.078 --> 00:18:27.381
- I love the a bear grylls involved in this who's mr.
- 00:18:27.381 --> 00:18:30.050
- Adventure.
- 00:18:30.050 --> 00:18:30.984
- But what are they up against in schools?
- 00:18:30.984 --> 00:18:33.887
- I mean, everything, you name it.
- 00:18:33.887 --> 00:18:36.056
- You know,
- 00:18:36.056 --> 00:18:37.257
- When when we first started again, as we said, we just love
- 00:18:37.257 --> 00:18:39.960
- These kinds of stories.
- 00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:41.195
- You know, we're goonies at heart.
- 00:18:41.195 --> 00:18:43.030
- But when for us, as important as the story itself
- 00:18:43.030 --> 00:18:46.567
- Is why we're telling it.
- 00:18:46.567 --> 00:18:48.268
- And we had come across it's this is 14,
- 00:18:48.268 --> 00:18:51.405
- 15 years old by now.
- 00:18:51.405 --> 00:18:53.006
- We've come across a ted talk called the demise of guys.
- 00:18:53.006 --> 00:18:58.278
- It's it's fascinating ted talk.
- 00:18:58.278 --> 00:19:01.381
- You can look it up.
- 00:19:01.381 --> 00:19:02.449
- I think there's a book and it's two psychologists.
- 00:19:02.449 --> 00:19:04.651
- And this is not from a faith perspective.
- 00:19:04.651 --> 00:19:07.854
- This is just clinical psychologists.
- 00:19:07.854 --> 00:19:09.957
- And they were talking about the the incredible,
- 00:19:09.957 --> 00:19:13.193
- Incredibly rough trajectory
- 00:19:13.193 --> 00:19:15.696
- Of young boys becoming men
- 00:19:15.696 --> 00:19:18.899
- And how immersive worlds of video
- 00:19:18.899 --> 00:19:21.168
- Gaming and online pornography and social media,
- 00:19:21.168 --> 00:19:24.504
- How it's just wreaking havoc on a generation. and,
- 00:19:24.504 --> 00:19:28.242
- And one of the big questions they ask is, you know,
- 00:19:29.243 --> 00:19:32.145
- It touches on is a universal question that every young man
- 00:19:32.145 --> 00:19:36.283
- Really all of us ask is, do i have what it takes?
- 00:19:36.283 --> 00:19:39.753
- And when we read this, like, just utterly sobering
- 00:19:39.753 --> 00:19:42.489
- Statistic, we're like,
- 00:19:42.489 --> 00:19:43.490
- This is why we have to tell this story.
- 00:19:43.490 --> 00:19:46.560
- We have to tell a story.
- 00:19:46.560 --> 00:19:48.395
- You know, i tell, it took us 15 years to get here.
- 00:19:48.395 --> 00:19:51.265
- And one of the stories i tell often is that, you know why?
- 00:19:51.265 --> 00:19:54.968
- What kept you going?
- 00:19:54.968 --> 00:19:56.536
- I took my son on a camp out.
- 00:19:56.536 --> 00:19:58.538
- A father son camp out when he was three.
- 00:19:58.538 --> 00:20:01.575
- And he was he was by far the youngest kid.
- 00:20:01.575 --> 00:20:03.610
- But i thought i'll be fine.
- 00:20:03.610 --> 00:20:05.245
- And, he bought diapers at night.
- 00:20:05.245 --> 00:20:07.881
- He came out of the tent and all these other boys
- 00:20:07.881 --> 00:20:10.584
- Saw him and started laughing at him
- 00:20:10.584 --> 00:20:12.085
- And pointing and said, you're a baby.
- 00:20:12.085 --> 00:20:13.387
- You're a baby. you're just a baby.
- 00:20:13.387 --> 00:20:15.455
- I was like, devastated.
- 00:20:15.455 --> 00:20:16.923
- I ran over there to intervene
- 00:20:16.923 --> 00:20:19.893
- And my son is laughing
- 00:20:19.893 --> 00:20:22.229
- And, he says, i'm not a baby.
- 00:20:22.229 --> 00:20:25.732
- I'm a dragonslayer.
- 00:20:25.732 --> 00:20:27.534
- And i was
- 00:20:27.834 --> 00:20:28.869
- I just stood there and i was like, oh my gosh,
- 00:20:28.869 --> 00:20:31.271
- All these stories i've been telling him,
- 00:20:31.271 --> 00:20:32.939
- All the insults didn't stick.
- 00:20:32.939 --> 00:20:34.975
- All the, the, the mockery, all that kind of
- 00:20:34.975 --> 00:20:37.944
- None of it stuck because he knew who he was.
- 00:20:37.944 --> 00:20:41.281
- And that's our heart,
- 00:20:41.782 --> 00:20:43.083
- You know,
- 00:20:43.083 --> 00:20:43.583
- It's like
- 00:20:43.583 --> 00:20:44.318
- Everything is thrown at kids
- 00:20:44.318 --> 00:20:45.686
- Nowadays from social media in school
- 00:20:45.686 --> 00:20:47.788
- And who they are and who they aren't.
- 00:20:47.788 --> 00:20:50.057
- But if they know who god calls them,
- 00:20:50.057 --> 00:20:52.559
- Like none of that other stuff sticks.
- 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:55.762
- That is so true.
- 00:20:56.163 --> 00:20:56.897
- I mean,
- 00:20:56.897 --> 00:20:58.298
- Life is a series of things that get in your way,
- 00:20:58.298 --> 00:21:01.134
- That knock you down, that beat you up,
- 00:21:01.134 --> 00:21:03.537
- Call you names, accuse you of things,
- 00:21:03.537 --> 00:21:05.939
- And it's how you respond
- 00:21:05.939 --> 00:21:07.074
- That is ultimately going to define the person.
- 00:21:07.074 --> 00:21:09.042
- And what is it?
- 00:21:09.042 --> 00:21:09.609
- It's like life is 10%
- 00:21:09.609 --> 00:21:11.378
- What happens to you, 90% how you choose to react to it.
- 00:21:11.378 --> 00:21:14.514
- And that resilience, the resiliency and the courage.
- 00:21:14.514 --> 00:21:17.417
- Building that up in in kids.
- 00:21:17.417 --> 00:21:18.618
- I had a similar story with my son
- 00:21:18.618 --> 00:21:20.554
- This weekend, actually, and he looked at me.
- 00:21:20.554 --> 00:21:23.323
- He was scared to go on this ride
- 00:21:23.323 --> 00:21:25.492
- And he said, dad, i'm going to choose to be brave.
- 00:21:25.492 --> 00:21:28.995
- And he went and did it.
- 00:21:28.995 --> 00:21:30.297
- And i was like, yes,
- 00:21:30.297 --> 00:21:31.898
- You know, like it's getting in there somewhere
- 00:21:31.898 --> 00:21:34.034
- Where i'm like, you got to be brave, son.
- 00:21:34.034 --> 00:21:35.669
- You got to.
- 00:21:35.669 --> 00:21:36.803
- And he looked at me and said, i'm choose to be brave.
- 00:21:36.803 --> 00:21:37.904
- I'm scared, but i'm going to choose to be brave.
- 00:21:37.904 --> 00:21:39.606
- I'm so proud of him.
- 00:21:39.606 --> 00:21:40.674
- And those are the lessons
- 00:21:40.674 --> 00:21:42.442
- That we need to be getting through.
- 00:21:42.442 --> 00:21:43.944
- Not that you're a victim.
- 00:21:43.944 --> 00:21:45.445
- Not that there's nothing you can do about anything.
- 00:21:45.445 --> 00:21:47.781
- Not that that, you know, ultimately,
- 00:21:47.781 --> 00:21:49.649
- Your fate is sealed and all is awful.
- 00:21:49.649 --> 00:21:51.918
- That's not the american spirit, either.
- 00:21:51.918 --> 00:21:53.754
- And i think that's again, go back to scouts.
- 00:21:53.754 --> 00:21:55.789
- Scouts was about giving you agency
- 00:21:55.789 --> 00:21:57.624
- And power over your dominion.
- 00:21:57.624 --> 00:21:59.559
- And, yeah, i think bad things happen.
- 00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:01.795
- But ultimately we want young people to be
- 00:22:01.795 --> 00:22:03.663
- The type of people that can overcome the obstacles
- 00:22:03.663 --> 00:22:06.333
- That are thrown in their life.
- 00:22:06.333 --> 00:22:07.200
- All right, blake, final question to you.
- 00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:08.769
- You're the scout.
- 00:22:08.769 --> 00:22:09.569
- You're the you're the eagle scout.
- 00:22:09.569 --> 00:22:11.071
- You. oh, i guess, a natural follow up.
- 00:22:11.071 --> 00:22:13.640
- Is there going to be a sequel?
- 00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:15.609
- Is he going to is he going to defeat other monsters?
- 00:22:15.609 --> 00:22:18.845
- Yes. we are happy to
- 00:22:19.312 --> 00:22:20.614
- Say this is actually the first in a three book series.
- 00:22:20.614 --> 00:22:23.417
- So it's the order of the dragon slayer series.
- 00:22:23.417 --> 00:22:25.752
- That's why you don't want to fall behind.
- 00:22:25.752 --> 00:22:27.154
- You got to read the first one,
- 00:22:27.154 --> 00:22:28.255

- 00:22:28.255 --> 00:22:31.425
- Dreaming up the third one.
- 00:22:31.425 --> 00:22:33.226
- And we're so thrilled to be able to take families on
- 00:22:33.226 --> 00:22:35.962
- Not just one great adventure, but a whole epic. so.
- 00:22:35.962 --> 00:22:39.166
- So it's not going to take 15 years though, right?
- 00:22:39.166 --> 00:22:41.234
- We're going to get to know what it's like to be referring
- 00:22:41.234 --> 00:22:45.005
- To someone there.
- 00:22:45.005 --> 00:22:46.540

- Well, congratulations on your book.
- 00:22:55.982 --> 00:22:57.451
- I think the stuff is so important.
- 00:22:57.451 --> 00:22:59.119
- I wanted to devote as much time as we could in the show,
- 00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:01.154
- Because we need stuff that feels like the 90s again.
- 00:23:01.154 --> 00:23:04.491
- That's what i think.
- 00:23:04.491 --> 00:23:05.425
- Well, you know, it's basically like,
- 00:23:05.425 --> 00:23:07.961
- Go back to like, the way things used to be
- 00:23:07.961 --> 00:23:09.863
- When we all had our sanity and before social media,
- 00:23:09.863 --> 00:23:12.899
- Candace lee, eric newman, congratulations.
