Charlie Kirk Today | Tucker Carlson: September 22, 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | September 22, 2025

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 --> 00:00:15.271
So, yeah,
00:00:15.572 --> 00:00:17.107
I want to talk about charlie's relationship with with jesus.
00:00:17.107 --> 00:00:20.210
And i'm amazed going to have
00:00:20.210 --> 00:00:21.744
A whole list of sorts or soundbites here.
00:00:21.744 --> 00:00:25.248
I asked for charlie talking about god in public,
00:00:25.248 --> 00:00:28.651
And i just kind of amazed we came back.
00:00:28.651 --> 00:00:30.720
I mean, there really is a deluge.
00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:32.455
Yeah, it was unbelievable because there's really no one
00:00:32.455 --> 00:00:36.126
In public life who talked about jesus more than charlie kirk.
00:00:36.126 --> 00:00:41.464
And i'll just now i'm revealing one of my ugly biases.
00:00:41.464 --> 00:00:44.167
But some of the people
00:00:44.167 --> 00:00:45.135
Whose job it is to talk about jesus are not,
00:00:45.135 --> 00:00:48.438
You know, i don't think is credible and believable.
00:00:48.438 --> 00:00:50.340
I'm just being honest, as i think charlie was.
00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:52.909
He really meant it.
00:00:52.909 --> 00:00:53.743
He wasn't being paid to say it.
00:00:53.743 --> 00:00:55.745
I think everything that he did, everything that he thought
00:00:55.745 --> 00:00:58.948
The way he lived, were all informed by his love of jesus.
00:00:58.948 --> 00:01:03.353
And i don't think
00:01:03.353 --> 00:01:04.420
I'm overstating it. i said this to him recently
00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:05.755
When he was at my house in maine.
00:01:05.755 --> 00:01:07.557
I really you remind me of paul like you never stop,
00:01:07.557 --> 00:01:11.161
I stop, i like to, i like to go fishing.
00:01:11.161 --> 00:01:13.630
I like to go bird hunting.
00:01:13.630 --> 00:01:14.998
I like to hang out on saturday morning in bed
00:01:14.998 --> 00:01:17.167
With my wife and like,
00:01:17.167 --> 00:01:18.501
You know, be with my wife and all the stuff.
00:01:19.402 --> 00:01:20.904
But charlie just did not allow himself any of that.
00:01:20.904 --> 00:01:24.207
He was so driven and you can see it now,
00:01:24.207 --> 00:01:27.644
Maybe as part of a larger plan
00:01:27.644 --> 00:01:29.012
Where he never wasted a minute, he he forced himself
00:01:29.012 --> 00:01:32.482
To get on the airplane and to do things
00:01:32.482 --> 00:01:34.350
That were really, really hard in a way that i've never done.
00:01:34.350 --> 00:01:36.853
I'll just admit it.
00:01:36.853 --> 00:01:38.188
And i think that was because he felt
00:01:38.188 --> 00:01:40.323
God had a plan for him, that he was on a mission.
00:01:40.323 --> 00:01:43.526
It wasn't just about getting somebody elected,
00:01:43.526 --> 00:01:45.895
It was about something bigger than that.
00:01:45.895 --> 00:01:47.630
Am i want to ask you first, andrew, and then blake.
00:01:47.630 --> 00:01:51.167
Do you think that's
00:01:51.167 --> 00:01:52.435
I'm reading too much into it, or do you think that's right?
00:01:52.435 --> 00:01:54.003
No, i, i totally agree.
00:01:54.003 --> 00:01:56.606
And i've had
00:01:56.606 --> 00:01:57.540
I've had wave after wave
00:01:58.074 --> 00:01:59.842
Of revelation of what we were actually doing,
00:01:59.842 --> 00:02:01.844
You know, i was so in the weeds,
00:02:01.844 --> 00:02:03.580
We were so in the weeds that it was impossible
00:02:03.580 --> 00:02:06.516
To fully understand even what we were doing.
00:02:06.516 --> 00:02:09.185
But i, you know, i'm, i sit and and i, i've charlie
00:02:09.185 --> 00:02:12.589
And i bonded at the very earliest days
00:02:12.589 --> 00:02:14.724
Because we were both like really strong christians.
00:02:14.724 --> 00:02:17.694
And that was such a central part of who we were.
00:02:17.694 --> 00:02:19.796
But we didn't we, you know, we didn't talk about it
00:02:19.796 --> 00:02:22.632
All the time, say publicly.
00:02:22.632 --> 00:02:23.733
But as the years went on,
00:02:23.733 --> 00:02:25.468
We both knew that we had each other in that way.
00:02:25.468 --> 00:02:28.504
And i've tweeted there's two tweets that i, i've posted,
00:02:28.504 --> 00:02:32.775
I have realized in the days hence that
00:02:32.775 --> 00:02:36.279
He was a prophet, not a fortune teller.
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.716
Like people think of prophecy.
00:02:39.716 --> 00:02:41.517
He was like a biblical prophet that would go into a nation
00:02:41.517 --> 00:02:44.187
And call it to repent. that's what he was doing.
00:02:44.187 --> 00:02:45.822
He was going to these campuses and he was going on stage,
00:02:45.822 --> 00:02:48.558
And he was going on
00:02:48.558 --> 00:02:49.192
The show, on the podcast,
00:02:49.192 --> 00:02:50.093
And he was calling a nation to repent.
00:02:50.093 --> 00:02:52.795
He went to london
00:02:52.795 --> 00:02:53.930
And he called england to repent at cambridge and oxford.
00:02:53.930 --> 00:02:57.734
And they they hurled insults at him.
00:02:57.734 --> 00:02:59.636
They mocked him.
00:02:59.636 --> 00:03:00.670
They jeered him, just like the biblical prophets.
00:03:00.670 --> 00:03:02.472
They wanted to stone him, and ultimately they killed him.
00:03:02.472 --> 00:03:04.641
And that is what jesus said.
00:03:04.641 --> 00:03:05.842
He said, what did they do to the prophets? they killed him.
00:03:05.842 --> 00:03:08.411
And now the other nation.
00:03:08.411 --> 00:03:10.179
You're making me emotional again,
00:03:10.179 --> 00:03:12.181
Because i know that what you're saying is true.
00:03:12.181 --> 00:03:14.150
And the other revelation
00:03:14.150 --> 00:03:15.718
Is specifically about these campus tours.
00:03:15.718 --> 00:03:17.253
We call them campus tours.
00:03:17.253 --> 00:03:19.055
They were tent revivals.
00:03:19.055 --> 00:03:20.223
Yes, complete with the tent tucker.
00:03:20.223 --> 00:03:22.925
So i don't know why i didn't really see.
00:03:23.793 --> 00:03:26.496
I didn't either, as it was. say that.
00:03:26.496 --> 00:03:28.464
And i just like to envision
00:03:28.464 --> 00:03:29.632
Like george whitfield, like being, you know, he loved
00:03:29.632 --> 00:03:32.535
Jesus, was sent as a savior and must be accepted to be saved.
00:03:32.535 --> 00:03:36.472
Prove me wrong.
00:03:36.472 --> 00:03:37.573
Yeah, i know, i know, but it's so clear to me now.
00:03:37.573 --> 00:03:41.544
It's so clear to me to i don't know.
00:03:41.544 --> 00:03:43.546
It's. yeah, i don't know how i missed that.
00:03:43.546 --> 00:03:45.948
I don't know why i thought
00:03:45.948 --> 00:03:48.151
It was like political organizing
00:03:48.151 --> 00:03:50.219
Or something, which i on one level it was, but that's not
00:03:50.219 --> 00:03:53.089
Well, you guys were there all the whole time.
00:03:53.089 --> 00:03:55.825
I mean, it was more than that.
00:03:55.825 --> 00:03:57.193
It was. it was.
00:03:57.193 --> 00:03:58.061
And it really knowing him
00:03:58.061 --> 00:04:01.631
Over the past almost three years,
00:04:01.631 --> 00:04:03.833
That was what
00:04:03.833 --> 00:04:05.001
I would always tell people who would ask about charlie.
00:04:05.001 --> 00:04:07.704
And it's it's so funny where like,
00:04:07.704 --> 00:04:09.706
They'd always just
00:04:09.706 --> 00:04:10.807
Open like, is charlie smart? and i'd be like, yes,
00:04:10.807 --> 00:04:12.308
But that's kind of besides the point.
00:04:12.308 --> 00:04:13.776
Like the amazing thing with him is not his iq or like,
00:04:13.776 --> 00:04:17.880
How much, how many like facts he can know or something.
00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:20.550
What was amazing with him was his drive.
00:04:20.550 --> 00:04:23.519
The way i would say he was like he was the highest agency
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.155
Person i had ever met in my life.
00:04:26.155 --> 00:04:27.757
Yeah, he thought,
00:04:27.757 --> 00:04:28.825
If there is something i don't like,
00:04:28.825 --> 00:04:30.626
I have the power
00:04:30.626 --> 00:04:31.661
As an individual to change the world about that.
00:04:31.661 --> 00:04:34.597
Or at least
00:04:34.931 --> 00:04:35.898
If i don't take action,
00:04:35.898 --> 00:04:37.066
I have no excuse to complain about it.
00:04:37.066 --> 00:04:39.135
And he brought that to politics and organization, of course,
00:04:39.135 --> 00:04:42.538
But he especially brought it to the faith question.
00:04:42.538 --> 00:04:45.041
And he always, always wanted to talk about it.
00:04:45.041 --> 00:04:48.111
You love talking about it in private.
00:04:48.111 --> 00:04:49.579
He loves talking about it in places where it was,
00:04:49.579 --> 00:04:53.015
You know, arguably pointless.
00:04:53.649 --> 00:04:56.152
The last speech he kind of gave in public was
00:04:56.152 --> 00:04:58.988
We were in japan, and japan is 1% christian.
00:04:58.988 --> 00:05:02.859
Maybe.
00:05:02.859 --> 00:05:03.926
We were speaking to a party there.
00:05:03.926 --> 00:05:06.562
That's, you know, the,
00:05:06.562 --> 00:05:07.830
You know,
00:05:07.830 --> 00:05:09.031
We're aligned with them because they're anti-immigration.
00:05:09.031 --> 00:05:10.433
They don't like globalism.
00:05:10.433 --> 00:05:11.334
You know, we are
00:05:11.334 --> 00:05:12.335
We were talking to them about all that stuff.
00:05:12.335 --> 00:05:13.503
He was like, oh, you should increase your birth rate.
00:05:13.503 --> 00:05:14.937
Don't rely on immigrants and all that.
00:05:14.937 --> 00:05:16.639
But japan is famously resistant to christianity.
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:18.875
Yes, yes.
00:05:18.875 --> 00:05:19.976
But and i told him about that
00:05:19.976 --> 00:05:21.277
And but you know, in korea we talked about christianity.
00:05:21.277 --> 00:05:24.947
And there it was a christian audience mostly.
00:05:24.947 --> 00:05:26.516
But he said he's like,
00:05:26.516 --> 00:05:28.618
You know, is there somewhere i can work in the faith
00:05:28.618 --> 00:05:31.020
Angle to this?
00:05:31.020 --> 00:05:32.054
Because, you know, we're supposed to preach it
00:05:32.054 --> 00:05:33.656
Everywhere, everywhere we go.
00:05:33.656 --> 00:05:35.491
And so we talked about that, you know, what?
00:05:35.491 --> 00:05:37.160
What can we do?
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:37.860
And we found a spot
00:05:37.860 --> 00:05:39.095
Late in the speech
00:05:39.095 --> 00:05:40.296
And the very end of his speech, he was saying, look, guys,
00:05:40.296 --> 00:05:43.766
I want you to save your country.
00:05:43.766 --> 00:05:44.967
But in the end,
00:05:44.967 --> 00:05:46.169
You're going to have to believe in something transcendent
00:05:46.169 --> 00:05:48.704
For that to work.
00:05:48.704 --> 00:05:49.739
It's not just going to work on pragmatic grounds.
00:05:49.739 --> 00:05:52.241
And for me, and then he just, you know, for me, it's because
00:05:52.241 --> 00:05:55.111
Of my belief in the almighty, my belief in jesus christ.
00:05:55.111 --> 00:05:58.915
And you're going to need to have something like that
00:05:58.915 --> 00:06:01.951
To, to be able to win.
00:06:01.951 --> 00:06:04.787
And, you know,
00:06:04.787 --> 00:06:05.588
I think two people in the audience
00:06:05.588 --> 00:06:06.656
Started clapping really, really energetically.
00:06:06.656 --> 00:06:08.958
And the rest of us out there
00:06:08.958 --> 00:06:10.359
Very politely, as it did a couple people, oh,
00:06:10.359 --> 00:06:12.862
The japanese are wonderful people.
00:06:12.862 --> 00:06:14.230
But but you're right, they're not open to that.
00:06:14.230 --> 00:06:17.033
But there were two who were.
00:06:17.033 --> 00:06:18.267
Yeah, maybe they were believers.
00:06:18.267 --> 00:06:20.203
I'm not sure. but,
00:06:20.203 --> 00:06:21.404
You know, i'm very glad he got to do that.
00:06:22.305 --> 00:06:24.173
And and then in korea, though, yeah.
00:06:24.173 --> 00:06:27.243
Not really a totally very different story.
00:06:27.243 --> 00:06:29.612
We have this clip.
00:06:29.612 --> 00:06:30.680
Why don't we just play it if it's a great.
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:32.548
Oh my gosh, 18.
00:06:32.548 --> 00:06:36.419
40. oh yeah.
00:06:36.752 --> 00:06:40.923
Love.
00:06:41.157 --> 00:06:46.395
That that was 11 days ago.
00:06:46.963 --> 00:06:49.098
Tucker.
00:06:49.098 --> 00:06:49.899
And he's on stage and in english.
00:06:49.899 --> 00:06:53.503
They asked him to come forward and pray
00:06:53.503 --> 00:06:55.037
And sing over charlie,
00:06:55.037 --> 00:06:56.072
And they put their hands up, and they started
00:06:56.072 --> 00:06:58.074
In english saying, how great is our god?
00:06:58.074 --> 00:07:00.376
You're with me. how great is our god?
00:07:00.376 --> 00:07:02.812
And charlie put his hand on his heart.
00:07:02.812 --> 00:07:04.313
And mikey said, when he got off stage, like he could see
00:07:04.313 --> 00:07:07.316
His eyes were missed. it
00:07:07.316 --> 00:07:12.154
In genesis
00:07:12.455 --> 00:07:13.356
12 three, god made a powerful promise
00:07:13.356 --> 00:07:15.992
To abraham, the father of the jewish people.
00:07:15.992 --> 00:07:19.195
I will bless those who bless you.
00:07:19.195 --> 00:07:21.797
The christian bible tells us
00:07:22.398 --> 00:07:23.933
That we have been grafted into god's family tree.
00:07:23.933 --> 00:07:26.903
The rich olive tree of israel,

The bible and jesus, whom christians call

The messiah, are deeply rooted in israel.
00:07:34.310 --> 00:07:37.780
Supporting israel aligns christians with god's
00:07:37.780 --> 00:07:40.416
Prophetic timeline.
00:07:40.416 --> 00:07:41.784

00:07:41.784 --> 00:07:45.021
God's blessing, uplifting his chosen people,
00:07:45.021 --> 00:07:48.591
And it calls us to confront and heal
00:07:48.591 --> 00:07:50.893
The centuries old wounds of anti-semitism.
00:07:50.893 --> 00:07:53.930
The scripture says how good and how
00:07:53.930 --> 00:07:56.365
Pleasant it is when brethren dwell together.

00:08:41.006 --> 00:08:49.759
I really want
00:08:50.126 --> 00:08:51.227
People to understand, tucker, you and charlie had.
00:08:51.227 --> 00:08:54.297
It's such a unique and special bond in relationship.
00:08:54.297 --> 00:08:57.333
It was it was a deep friendship.
00:08:57.333 --> 00:08:59.035
And they both, had each other's back.
00:08:59.035 --> 00:09:02.005
And in my back. you had his back, too.
00:09:02.005 --> 00:09:04.374
I know those stories as well.
00:09:04.374 --> 00:09:06.042
Yeah. and i promised i wouldn't get into any of that.
00:09:06.042 --> 00:09:07.977
But i will say,
00:09:07.977 --> 00:09:08.845
And i'm not going to, but i will say,
00:09:08.845 --> 00:09:10.546
Because i want this to be about jesus and his love for jesus
00:09:10.546 --> 00:09:14.684
And what he did to spread
00:09:14.684 --> 00:09:15.652
The word of jesus throughout the world.
00:09:15.652 --> 00:09:16.986
But i will just say this,
00:09:16.986 --> 00:09:19.188
That whenever i would come and do a gig for you guys,
00:09:19.188 --> 00:09:22.091
Which was a lot because i really enjoyed it,
00:09:22.091 --> 00:09:24.127
And he was so kind to invite me and defend my being there.
00:09:24.127 --> 00:09:26.429
But i would always he's the only person i did this
00:09:26.429 --> 00:09:28.865
With.
00:09:28.865 --> 00:09:29.866
I would always say, hey, you know, let's like
00:09:29.866 --> 00:09:31.534
Meet in my hotel room or have a meal.
00:09:31.534 --> 00:09:34.337
Like, i loved talking to him.
00:09:34.337 --> 00:09:37.907
And it wasn't just to catch up on everything
00:09:37.907 --> 00:09:39.575
That's going on in the political world.
00:09:39.575 --> 00:09:40.777
He would always bring it back to god every single time.
00:09:40.777 --> 00:09:43.646
And it was.
00:09:43.646 --> 00:09:44.414
So there's no one around like so.
00:09:44.414 --> 00:09:46.516
He didn't need to be like, oh yeah, i really love god.
00:09:46.516 --> 00:09:48.885
This is just us and you.
00:09:48.885 --> 00:09:50.787
We talking about that.
00:09:50.787 --> 00:09:51.954
You would come to phoenix and you would reach out to.
00:09:51.954 --> 00:09:53.489
And i was like, i have so many memories
00:09:53.489 --> 00:09:55.992
Of charlie being like, i can i got to do dinner.
00:09:55.992 --> 00:09:58.094
Who are you doing dinner with? oh, tucker's in town.
00:09:58.094 --> 00:09:59.529
I got to meet up with always, always.
00:09:59.529 --> 00:10:01.297
And he was so intellectually curious and flexible.
00:10:01.297 --> 00:10:05.301
And i think that also grew out of his christian faith.
00:10:05.301 --> 00:10:07.770
And i know that
00:10:07.770 --> 00:10:08.805
As i've gotten older, it's been one of the things
00:10:08.805 --> 00:10:10.506
I appreciate most about believing
00:10:10.506 --> 00:10:12.475
In god is like, you can admit when you're wrong.
00:10:12.475 --> 00:10:14.510
You can change your views.
00:10:14.510 --> 00:10:16.612
Paul,
00:10:16.612 --> 00:10:17.513
Who created a lot of the early
00:10:17.513 --> 00:10:19.148
Church, was the chief persecutor of christians.
00:10:19.148 --> 00:10:20.983
He was a freaking pharisee.
00:10:20.983 --> 00:10:22.585
So like in our religion, at its core is the fact
00:10:22.585 --> 00:10:26.122
That god can change people.
00:10:26.122 --> 00:10:27.190
And so you don't need to be brittle and afraid
00:10:27.190 --> 00:10:30.159
About admitting that.
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:31.260
Yeah, i was totally off base and charlie was so much
00:10:31.260 --> 00:10:34.197
Like that.
00:10:34.197 --> 00:10:35.364
He was constantly thinking about this is the right thing.
00:10:35.364 --> 00:10:36.699
Is that the right thing?
00:10:36.699 --> 00:10:37.800
Like, there's no one in public life who does that.
00:10:37.800 --> 00:10:39.736
It's so easy for like, religion, you know, for
00:10:39.736 --> 00:10:42.405
Sometimes people use religion as an excuse for megalomania.
00:10:42.405 --> 00:10:45.241
Yes. and charlie was so humble.
00:10:45.241 --> 00:10:47.110
Genuinely humble.
00:10:47.110 --> 00:10:48.244
Thank you for showing me we would have these moments.
00:10:48.244 --> 00:10:50.179
Thank you for saying.
00:10:50.179 --> 00:10:51.380
And on this note, we'd have these moments and i'd be like,
00:10:51.380 --> 00:10:52.949
Can you freaking believe what's going on?
00:10:52.949 --> 00:10:54.984
Your old south park or whatever, all on god.
00:10:54.984 --> 00:10:56.986
And he would say, he would say,
00:10:56.986 --> 00:10:58.788
Stay humble, stay close to jesus.
00:10:58.788 --> 00:11:00.423
That would be the type that we need to say,
00:11:00.423 --> 00:11:01.858
Oh, you need to stay close to jesus.
00:11:01.858 --> 00:11:03.359
Really? yes.
00:11:03.359 --> 00:11:04.761
This is in his private text to private talks with
00:11:04.761 --> 00:11:07.497
I have a story like this too, and i'm ashamed that i am
00:11:07.497 --> 00:11:11.701
The villain in this story.
00:11:11.701 --> 00:11:12.835
Basically, it was two weeks before he died
00:11:12.835 --> 00:11:15.371
And i'll never forget it.
00:11:15.371 --> 00:11:16.939
I there was just some annoyance.
00:11:17.640 --> 00:11:20.042
There was, you know, in our way and we
00:11:20.042 --> 00:11:22.145
We needed to deal with something
00:11:22.145 --> 00:11:23.279
I can't even remember.
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:24.413
It was and i just remember going,
00:11:24.413 --> 00:11:26.816
Hey, you know, we could just tell them
00:11:26.816 --> 00:11:28.718
Xyz and translation, we could just,
00:11:28.718 --> 00:11:31.020
You know, a little white lie and it'll go away.
00:11:31.020 --> 00:11:32.822
They'll understand.
00:11:32.822 --> 00:11:33.990
And i remember seeing that, like, the dots he's typing
00:11:33.990 --> 00:11:37.126
Right away. right away.
00:11:37.126 --> 00:11:39.929
We don't lie.
00:11:39.929 --> 00:11:43.232
It was a private message with me.
00:11:43.232 --> 00:11:44.767
I love that, and and it wasn't you.
00:11:44.767 --> 00:11:46.402
Don't lie. it's not i don't lie.
00:11:46.402 --> 00:11:47.770
It was andrew.
00:11:47.770 --> 00:11:50.306
We we hear on the show
00:11:50.306 --> 00:11:53.142
In this turn, in turning point, we don't lie well.
00:11:53.142 --> 00:11:56.245
And not only don't lie,
00:11:56.245 --> 00:11:57.446
I mean
00:11:57.446 --> 00:11:58.681
Without even getting into it, but like, if you run a huge
00:11:58.681 --> 00:12:00.983
Nonprofit in dc, it's all about huge nonprofits.
00:12:00.983 --> 00:12:03.085
I know everyone who runs them.
00:12:03.085 --> 00:12:04.720
Boy, there are temptations,
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:06.689
And there was never any of that here ever.
00:12:06.689 --> 00:12:09.559
And we try and i talked about that a lot.
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.928
Like, here are the pitfalls in a man's life here.
00:12:11.928 --> 00:12:13.996
Here's how people get ensnared.
00:12:13.996 --> 00:12:15.598
It happened to david. i mean, we know this is a thing.
00:12:15.598 --> 00:12:19.135
He was so
00:12:19.435 --> 00:12:21.938
Again, i just had this conversation with him
00:12:21.938 --> 00:12:24.106
Right before he died
00:12:24.106 --> 00:12:25.141
Because i'm very focused on because i've seen
00:12:25.141 --> 00:12:26.442
So many people destroyed destroy themselves.
00:12:26.442 --> 00:12:29.212
And it's clearly like satan acting on them.
00:12:29.212 --> 00:12:31.314
Fact. sorry.
00:12:31.314 --> 00:12:32.782
And he was like he was a narrow path walker.
00:12:32.782 --> 00:12:36.786
And i just have to say that because most often
00:12:36.786 --> 00:12:39.722
You would run home to be with eric. yes.
00:12:39.722 --> 00:12:41.457
If he couldn't.
00:12:41.457 --> 00:12:42.091
Yes. if he if erica was on
00:12:42.091 --> 00:12:43.659
The road, he'd be like, are we done here? okay.
00:12:43.659 --> 00:12:45.528
Like a donor dinner or something? he would.
00:12:45.528 --> 00:12:47.396
You know, he acted after our events at night.
00:12:47.396 --> 00:12:49.866
He would do kind of like, a little circuit
00:12:49.866 --> 00:12:51.634
To all the dinners, and he couldn't wait.
00:12:51.634 --> 00:12:52.735
He's like, okay.
00:12:52.735 --> 00:12:53.603
And i'd be like, i got to talk to you
00:12:53.603 --> 00:12:54.570
About that.
00:12:54.570 --> 00:12:55.571
One other thing, charlie. hold on one second.
00:12:55.571 --> 00:12:56.672
What's like he's like, sorry.
00:12:56.672 --> 00:12:57.740
I'll talk to you about it in the morning.
00:12:57.740 --> 00:12:58.608
I can see erica. bye.
00:12:58.608 --> 00:13:00.109
I it was just.
00:13:00.109 --> 00:13:01.043
That is the key.
00:13:01.043 --> 00:13:02.044
I love to tell people this because sometimes
00:13:02.044 --> 00:13:04.680
People who didn't watch charlie a lot would
00:13:04.680 --> 00:13:06.916
Sometimes just think, oh, he's like a young influencer.
00:13:06.916 --> 00:13:09.352
So people would ask me, they'd be like,
00:13:09.352 --> 00:13:11.487
Do you ever hang out with charlie?
00:13:11.487 --> 00:13:12.922
And what i'd always say is,
00:13:12.922 --> 00:13:14.123
I don't think charlie has ever hung out in his entire life.
00:13:14.123 --> 00:13:17.660
It was always on his mission.
00:13:18.294 --> 00:13:19.629
Or, you know, he was with, you know, he was with his family.
00:13:19.629 --> 00:13:22.298
It was 100% all the trappings
00:13:22.298 --> 00:13:24.367
Said some of the best memories that i have
00:13:24.367 --> 00:13:27.103
Are the plane flights across country.
00:13:27.904 --> 00:13:30.172
Yeah, because.
00:13:30.172 --> 00:13:31.073
And that's the only time he can hang out.
00:13:31.073 --> 00:13:32.575
It was amazing, by the way, when and i think that gave him
00:13:32.575 --> 00:13:37.380
The freedom to kind of just go, i'm hanging out.
00:13:37.380 --> 00:13:40.383
And i mean, if you had to add them up,
00:13:41.217 --> 00:13:44.387
I've got hundreds of these hours
00:13:44.387 --> 00:13:45.855
And they are some of the most amazing because he was so funny
00:13:45.855 --> 00:13:49.091
And still so curious and so,
00:13:49.091 --> 00:13:53.562
So he did.
00:13:53.863 --> 00:13:54.830
But it was like you had to get him in this,
00:13:54.830 --> 00:13:56.365
This mode where you literally trapped him on a plane
00:13:56.365 --> 00:13:58.401
And he couldn't get out and he was stuck.
00:13:58.401 --> 00:13:59.635
But what is that?
00:13:59.635 --> 00:14:00.436
I mean, most people
00:14:00.436 --> 00:14:01.904
Sort of fritter away their entire lives hanging out,
00:14:01.904 --> 00:14:04.440
And i'm i'm definitely one of them.
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:06.208
I'm like an arab man in the souk.
00:14:06.208 --> 00:14:07.743
I like to sit around
00:14:07.743 --> 00:14:09.145
Hitting the water pipe, playing backgammon, drinking
00:14:09.145 --> 00:14:11.414
Little cups of coffee, talking about women like,
00:14:11.414 --> 00:14:13.316
I've spent a lot of my life doing that.
00:14:13.316 --> 00:14:15.251
That's why i love trump so much. he loves that, too.
00:14:15.251 --> 00:14:16.986
But charlie had like, this mission all the time.
00:14:16.986 --> 00:14:21.190
I have a theory on it, but we have to.
00:14:21.190 --> 00:14:22.692
We have to do another.
00:14:22.692 --> 00:14:23.759
What? yeah, we'll keep going. that looks great.
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:25.695
We'll be right back.
00:14:25.695 --> 00:14:27.530
Don't go anywhere.
00:14:27.530 --> 00:14:30.433
Thinking about social security.
00:14:31.067 --> 00:14:33.002
Thinking back.
00:14:33.002 --> 00:14:34.403
The amac foundation takes the confusion
00:14:34.403 --> 00:14:36.505
And stress out of understanding.
00:14:36.505 --> 00:14:38.074
Social security's thousands of rules and regulations.

00:14:42.778 --> 00:14:46.449
But that's not all aamc has to offer.
00:14:46.449 --> 00:14:48.651
Amac is america's leading conservative advocacy
00:14:48.651 --> 00:14:51.420

00:14:52.822 --> 00:14:56.292
So when it comes to social security and so much more,
00:14:56.292 --> 00:14:59.362
Think amac.
00:14:59.362 --> 00:15:01.130
One out of every five pregnancies in the us
00:15:01.130 --> 00:15:04.200
And an abortion.
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:05.935
Did you know that
00:15:05.935 --> 00:15:06.936
When a mother sees her baby on an ultrasound
00:15:06.936 --> 00:15:09.038
And hears the heartbeat for the first time,
00:15:09.038 --> 00:15:11.407
It increases the chance you'll choose life to 80%.
00:15:11.407 --> 00:15:15.411
An ultrasound is what saves lives.
00:15:15.411 --> 00:15:17.980
They need your help to make free ultrasounds.

Or call 1855601 baby to donate today.
00:16:01.013 --> 00:16:10.505
Tucker.
00:16:10.739 --> 00:16:11.506
I mean, i've seen you backstage.
00:16:11.506 --> 00:16:13.341
I don't know more times than i can count now.
00:16:13.341 --> 00:16:15.811
And you are the exact same
00:16:15.811 --> 00:16:18.747
With the guy who's taken out the trash as our
00:16:18.747 --> 00:16:22.484
Pa is, and our assistants and the people in between.
00:16:22.484 --> 00:16:26.121
As you are with charlie or me or blake.
00:16:26.121 --> 00:16:28.623
You are the exact same human.
00:16:28.623 --> 00:16:30.292
And i love that about you, man.
00:16:30.292 --> 00:16:31.660
And i just want the world to know.
00:16:31.660 --> 00:16:33.495
Well, thank you know, i mean, i love people and i,
00:16:33.495 --> 00:16:36.331
You know, god created everyone.
00:16:36.331 --> 00:16:37.732
But it's also true
00:16:37.732 --> 00:16:38.767
That i grew up in rich people worlds
00:16:38.767 --> 00:16:40.602
Back when it was an egalitarian world.
00:16:40.602 --> 00:16:43.071
It's one of the main changes in my country in my lifetime
00:16:43.071 --> 00:16:45.907
Is that rich people are not glittering anymore.
00:16:45.907 --> 00:16:47.576
But i grew up,
00:16:47.576 --> 00:16:48.910
You know, in an affluent family around rich people.
00:16:48.910 --> 00:16:50.712
And, you know, the housekeeper comes
00:16:50.712 --> 00:16:52.414
To thanksgiving dinner, period, period.
00:16:52.414 --> 00:16:54.683
And that's a wasp thing. i'm just going to say it out loud.
00:16:54.683 --> 00:16:56.585
That's a wasp thing and that's gone.
00:16:56.585 --> 00:16:58.286
But we felt that very, very strongly.
00:16:58.286 --> 00:17:01.490
And, that that's the
00:17:01.490 --> 00:17:03.291
That's the core idea of america that is never
00:17:03.291 --> 00:17:06.061
Articulated anymore.
00:17:06.061 --> 00:17:07.462
We didn't have fast track
00:17:07.462 --> 00:17:08.630
At disneyworld when i was growing up,
00:17:08.630 --> 00:17:10.732
And i still feel that way.
00:17:10.732 --> 00:17:12.100
And i'm married to a chick who really feels that way.
00:17:12.100 --> 00:17:14.569
I mean, really feels you get married in my family
00:17:14.569 --> 00:17:17.205
And you know, the guy cut your grass
00:17:17.205 --> 00:17:18.440
Coming to your wedding whether you like it or not.
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:20.242
Like, that's that's the rule in my house, i love that.
00:17:20.242 --> 00:17:23.378
I'm not saying that to make myself sound virtuous.
00:17:23.378 --> 00:17:25.614
It's just like,
00:17:25.614 --> 00:17:26.481
That is something that we have lost
00:17:26.481 --> 00:17:28.083
And we have to fight to regain that.
00:17:28.083 --> 00:17:29.885
And all these silly little fake aristocrats
00:17:29.885 --> 00:17:31.887
Flying around in their planes.
00:17:31.887 --> 00:17:33.021
It's one of the reasons i really am upset with them
00:17:33.021 --> 00:17:35.824
Is because they've forgotten that specific thing.
00:17:35.824 --> 00:17:38.860
Charlie wanted better elites and. yes.
00:17:38.860 --> 00:17:42.097
And, and i yeah, i mean, you you model
00:17:42.097 --> 00:17:45.800
It and it's not gone because we're talking about it
00:17:45.800 --> 00:17:47.669
Right now, and maybe we can bring it back.
00:17:47.669 --> 00:17:49.371
In the spirit of actually doing a show, we have,
00:17:49.371 --> 00:17:54.743
We know i
00:17:55.043 --> 00:17:56.645
Want to
00:17:56.645 --> 00:17:57.846
Say i have this great clip that i, i can't wait to share
00:17:57.846 --> 00:17:59.781
With everybody, but,
00:17:59.781 --> 00:18:00.949
We're going to bring in frank turek, who, cross talk.
00:18:00.949 --> 00:18:05.020
He was with charlie on the day. charlie.
00:18:05.020 --> 00:18:07.255
He would go to frank with ideas of apologetics
00:18:07.255 --> 00:18:12.327
And how to argue for the faith and contend for the faith
00:18:12.327 --> 00:18:15.230
In the public square.
00:18:15.230 --> 00:18:16.097
So, frank, welcome to the charlie
00:18:16.097 --> 00:18:18.033
Kirk show with, tucker carlson,
00:18:18.033 --> 00:18:19.968
The great tucker carlson with us.
00:18:19.968 --> 00:18:21.870
Hey, hey, i just want to piggyback on
00:18:21.870 --> 00:18:24.005
Something tucker just said.
00:18:24.005 --> 00:18:25.240
The only worldview that agrees with what tucker just said
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.877
Is christianity.
00:18:28.877 --> 00:18:30.478
You know, in in hinduism, there's a caste system.
00:18:30.478 --> 00:18:34.115
In islam, if you're not a muslim,
00:18:34.115 --> 00:18:36.017
You're a second class citizen.
00:18:36.017 --> 00:18:37.686
In the secular world, there's no way to ground,
00:18:37.686 --> 00:18:40.689
These moral values
00:18:40.689 --> 00:18:43.124
And the moral worth that every individual has.
00:18:43.124 --> 00:18:46.127
The only worldview that does that is christianity.
00:18:46.127 --> 00:18:49.731
And that was the worldview that
00:18:49.731 --> 00:18:52.100
Charlie and everybody here at this table
00:18:52.100 --> 00:18:55.670
Right now wants to demonstrate is true.
00:18:55.670 --> 00:18:59.708
And try and persuade young people to follow.
00:18:59.708 --> 00:19:02.711
I love that you said that.
00:19:03.278 --> 00:19:04.946
I think that that is indisputably true.
00:19:04.946 --> 00:19:07.949
I think it's provable.
00:19:07.949 --> 00:19:09.184
I mean, there you know, the founding documents still exist.
00:19:09.184 --> 00:19:12.087
We know what the people
00:19:12.087 --> 00:19:13.288
Who wrote them were thinking,
00:19:13.288 --> 00:19:14.222
And they were informed by a culture
00:19:14.222 --> 00:19:16.391
That is a product of christian civilization, period.
00:19:16.391 --> 00:19:19.194
Western civilization is christian civilization.
00:19:19.194 --> 00:19:22.430
And they're i'm not against other religions, by the way.
00:19:22.430 --> 00:19:24.933
I don't follow them, but i'm not mad at them.
00:19:24.933 --> 00:19:26.534
I'm just want to say that i'm not.
00:19:26.534 --> 00:19:28.203
I know a lot of great people who are of different faiths,
00:19:28.203 --> 00:19:30.805
But christianity is unique in that it's true,
00:19:30.805 --> 00:19:33.975
And it's unique in that it believes that every person
00:19:33.975 --> 00:19:37.512
Is at least potentially chosen by god, every person,
00:19:37.512 --> 00:19:40.982
And and the whole new testament is that story, by the way.
00:19:40.982 --> 00:19:44.719
And and so christians feel that
00:19:44.719 --> 00:19:46.588
Deeply, the cultures that they create reflect it.
00:19:46.588 --> 00:19:49.391
And i grieve its passing.
00:19:49.391 --> 00:19:50.925
And i pray for its return to our country.
00:19:50.925 --> 00:19:53.662
Well, ironically, tucker,
00:19:54.229 --> 00:19:56.631
Charlie's martyrdom
00:19:56.631 --> 00:19:59.501
Might be the turning point to bring it back.
00:19:59.501 --> 00:20:02.937
I don't know.
00:20:03.305 --> 00:20:04.839
Well, you do know because you're seeing
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:06.741
What's going on at tp usa right now.
00:20:06.741 --> 00:20:09.177
Yes, but how many people want to start tp?
00:20:09.177 --> 00:20:13.548
What are we up to now, andrew?
00:20:14.149 --> 00:20:15.116
Is it 62,000? something like that.
00:20:15.116 --> 00:20:16.985
Yeah. it's i mean it's growing by the minute.
00:20:16.985 --> 00:20:19.154
So it's probably let's just say approximately 65,000.
00:20:19.154 --> 00:20:22.190
Wow. it's we had we had 2000 before that.
00:20:23.058 --> 00:20:27.362
I mean i'm, i'm, i'm seeing people online
00:20:27.362 --> 00:20:30.332
On, on some youtube videos that have to do with charlie,
00:20:30.332 --> 00:20:33.802
Some of my own youtube videos, they're all over the world.
00:20:33.802 --> 00:20:37.272
There's people in denmark going, you know,
00:20:37.272 --> 00:20:38.773
I was an atheist and because of charlie kirk,
00:20:38.773 --> 00:20:40.475
I'm a christian now.
00:20:40.475 --> 00:20:42.043
Australia. same thing.
00:20:42.043 --> 00:20:44.112
London, same thing.
00:20:44.112 --> 00:20:46.481
This isn't just in america.
00:20:46.481 --> 00:20:48.717
This is happening all over the world.
00:20:48.717 --> 00:20:51.486
And so i want to commend
00:20:51.486 --> 00:20:54.456
Every one of you for,
00:20:54.456 --> 00:20:57.459
Advancing the cause that charlie so,
00:20:57.459 --> 00:21:01.730
Was so near and dear to charlie's heart
00:21:01.730 --> 00:21:04.232
In a time of mourning. it's got to be so difficult.
00:21:04.232 --> 00:21:06.568
Andrew and blake, especially to, to continue on.
00:21:06.568 --> 00:21:10.572
But charlie would want it.
00:21:10.572 --> 00:21:12.440
And that's why we're all here right now.
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:14.542
Well, and, frank, i, you know, bless you.
00:21:14.542 --> 00:21:17.345
I know you've had to deal with the conspiracy
00:21:17.345 --> 00:21:19.781
Theories and the, you know, why'd you touch your hat
00:21:19.781 --> 00:21:22.684
At this time?
00:21:22.684 --> 00:21:23.718
Because, you know, that wretched video, i mean.
00:21:23.718 --> 00:21:27.756
But bless you, brother. i just want to be,
00:21:27.756 --> 00:21:31.359
I just want to be a character reference for you.
00:21:32.327 --> 00:21:34.963
And, charlie loved you so much.
00:21:34.963 --> 00:21:37.599
You were always there for charlie.
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:39.834
And i know how much he leaned on you for apologetics
00:21:39.834 --> 00:21:43.138
And for thinking through these deep issues.
00:21:43.138 --> 00:21:45.373
You know, around that.
00:21:45.373 --> 00:21:46.474
When he was on bill maher recently and, you know,
00:21:46.474 --> 00:21:49.377
You you've meant so much to him and your work at cross
00:21:49.377 --> 00:21:52.347
Examine like you are a dear brother
00:21:52.347 --> 00:21:54.215
And a dear friend and some of that garbage, like,
00:21:54.215 --> 00:21:56.418
I don't even paid any heed.
00:21:56.418 --> 00:21:57.385
But i know you,
00:21:57.385 --> 00:21:58.720
Have you were there the day that it happened?
00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:02.090
I know this has been terrible for you, too.
00:22:02.090 --> 00:22:04.259
And you've had to deal with all this garbage, but,
00:22:04.259 --> 00:22:07.529
You know, god bless you.
00:22:07.529 --> 00:22:08.663
And i'm sorry that that has been something
00:22:08.663 --> 00:22:10.999
In your experience.
00:22:10.999 --> 00:22:12.667
Thanks, brother. i mean, that's
00:22:12.667 --> 00:22:15.303
That actually hasn't bothered me
00:22:16.037 --> 00:22:17.372
All that much, to tell you the truth.
00:22:17.372 --> 00:22:18.673
I just think it's so colossally stupid
00:22:18.673 --> 00:22:21.509
That if somebody wanted to shoot somebody,
00:22:21.509 --> 00:22:23.311
They need a guy stand in 25ft from them to signal,
00:22:23.311 --> 00:22:26.080
Hey, get him. he's the guy.
00:22:26.080 --> 00:22:27.715
I mean,
00:22:27.715 --> 00:22:29.083
He's it makes absolutely no sense at all.
00:22:29.083 --> 00:22:31.953
So, it was just
00:22:32.320 --> 00:22:35.256
A terrible day, but we all did the best
00:22:36.057 --> 00:22:38.126
We could to try and help and save charlie.
00:22:38.126 --> 00:22:41.095
And then once we couldn't, all we could do was
00:22:41.095 --> 00:22:44.432
Take erica's lead.
00:22:44.866 --> 00:22:46.301
And your lead. andrew and mikey's lead.
00:22:46.301 --> 00:22:48.803
Because you were all there to march forward
00:22:48.803 --> 00:22:52.307
And and take his legacy to new levels.
00:22:52.307 --> 00:22:55.944
And, lord willing, that's what's going to happen.
00:22:55.944 --> 00:22:57.912
Well, frank, you're going to be a key part of that.
