- You people don't know this, but i know this,
- 00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:54.711
- That you and charlie communicated all the time.
- 00:00:54.711 --> 00:00:58.515
- All the time.
- 00:00:58.515 --> 00:00:59.649
- And i was even on calls with you during the campaign.
- 00:00:59.649 --> 00:01:02.018
- You were so active in the campaign, putting together the
- 00:01:02.018 --> 00:01:05.021
- The macro strategy and then on the state level.
- 00:01:05.021 --> 00:01:08.024
- But you and charlie had a really deep relationship,
- 00:01:08.024 --> 00:01:10.326
- And that's why i was so glad you could join us today,
- 00:01:10.326 --> 00:01:12.095
- Because a lot of people don't know that.
- 00:01:12.095 --> 00:01:13.730
- So tell us about your relationship with charlie.
- 00:01:13.730 --> 00:01:15.965
- What was that like?
- 00:01:15.965 --> 00:01:16.699
- What was your impression of him?
- 00:01:16.699 --> 00:01:18.234
- And, what did he mean to what happened in november 2024?
- 00:01:18.234 --> 00:01:21.704
- Yeah.
- 00:01:21.938 --> 00:01:22.872
- He meant everything that happened in 2024.
- 00:01:22.872 --> 00:01:26.209
- And charlie had spent a lot of time
- 00:01:26.209 --> 00:01:29.345
- Thinking about exactly that since 2020.
- 00:01:29.345 --> 00:01:31.881
- And, you know, obviously you guys are part of it.
- 00:01:31.881 --> 00:01:34.284
- The turning point had started
- 00:01:34.284 --> 00:01:35.685
- To make this pivot since 2020, particularly of becoming
- 00:01:35.685 --> 00:01:39.289
- Not only a campus organizing organization
- 00:01:39.289 --> 00:01:42.392
- And a media organization, but an actual grassroots
- 00:01:42.392 --> 00:01:45.295
- Organizing and activation organization.
- 00:01:45.295 --> 00:01:47.897
- And, between charlie and tyler and you guys and everybody
- 00:01:47.897 --> 00:01:51.968
- That spent a lot of time thinking about this.
- 00:01:51.968 --> 00:01:53.570
- And they the takeaway was they were really excited.
- 00:01:53.570 --> 00:01:56.372
- They i think they thought it was not going to be
- 00:01:56.372 --> 00:01:59.709
- As good as it was. so we had this total mind meld.
- 00:01:59.709 --> 00:02:01.778
- They were immediately like, you know, this is amazing,
- 00:02:01.778 --> 00:02:05.615
- All, you know, and full speed ahead
- 00:02:05.615 --> 00:02:07.917
- And sort of a partnership with the campaign was born for,
- 00:02:07.917 --> 00:02:11.387
- You know, there's just another opportunity.
- 00:02:11.387 --> 00:02:13.256
- There was a change in the the rules. right.
- 00:02:13.256 --> 00:02:14.857
- There was there was a change that.
- 00:02:14.857 --> 00:02:16.092
- So the federal election commission
- 00:02:16.092 --> 00:02:17.660
- Ruled in the late spring.
- 00:02:17.660 --> 00:02:19.796
- Thanks to a case brought by marc elias, which is ironic
- 00:02:19.796 --> 00:02:23.566
- That, third party organizations,
- 00:02:23.566 --> 00:02:27.003
- Which previously sort of couldn't engage
- 00:02:27.003 --> 00:02:28.871
- With the campaign at all, a federal campaign
- 00:02:28.871 --> 00:02:31.140
- Could engage on canvasing, door to door activity,
- 00:02:31.140 --> 00:02:34.210
- Sort of traditional get out the vote activity.
- 00:02:34.210 --> 00:02:36.145
- And that is something that turning point
- 00:02:36.145 --> 00:02:38.314
- Had been building for a period of time
- 00:02:38.314 --> 00:02:39.749
- With the to chase the vote program.
- 00:02:39.749 --> 00:02:41.017
- And all these sorts of things.
- 00:02:41.017 --> 00:02:42.285
- And it was, you know,
- 00:02:42.285 --> 00:02:43.653
- Turning into a big player in that space and had been,
- 00:02:43.653 --> 00:02:46.489
- Sort of working towards that for the election cycle.
- 00:02:46.489 --> 00:02:49.158
- So just because of the right place at the right time.
- 00:02:49.158 --> 00:02:52.629
- Thank you. mark elias. i'd never sent to my fruit basket.
- 00:02:52.629 --> 00:02:55.098
- I promised him on twitter,
- 00:02:55.098 --> 00:02:56.232
- That we would basically become partners
- 00:02:56.232 --> 00:03:00.003
- Where the the groups that did this, grassroots
- 00:03:00.003 --> 00:03:03.573
- Work out in the field in the campaign
- 00:03:03.573 --> 00:03:04.874
- Would become partners under the new confines of the law.
- 00:03:04.874 --> 00:03:07.644
- And we did that.
- 00:03:07.644 --> 00:03:08.678
- So then immediately we started,
- 00:03:08.678 --> 00:03:11.080
- You know, talking all of the time,
- 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:13.082
- Not only about that, but, you know, just grew into
- 00:03:13.082 --> 00:03:15.718
- One thing after another.
- 00:03:15.718 --> 00:03:16.819
- Obviously, i'm just a little bit,
- 00:03:16.819 --> 00:03:18.688
- Older than, charlie was, but we're basically from
- 00:03:18.688 --> 00:03:21.858
- The same generation.
- 00:03:21.858 --> 00:03:22.892
- Were millennials who turned 32 yesterday.
- 00:03:22.892 --> 00:03:25.161
- I'm 36.
- 00:03:25.161 --> 00:03:26.296
- So very similar.
- 00:03:26.296 --> 00:03:27.897
- We also have similar personal lives.
- 00:03:27.897 --> 00:03:29.999
- He's married with a wonderful wife and two children.
- 00:03:29.999 --> 00:03:33.336
- I'm married. i have three children.
- 00:03:33.336 --> 00:03:35.138
- We're both christian,
- 00:03:35.138 --> 00:03:36.205
- So just blossomed into a personal friendship, too.
- 00:03:36.205 --> 00:03:39.008
- We 20, 24, charlie.
- 00:03:39.008 --> 00:03:41.377
- And the organization was essential to what we did
- 00:03:41.377 --> 00:03:43.746
- All over the country.
- 00:03:43.746 --> 00:03:44.981
- Not only rallying the youth, which is what it's really known
- 00:03:44.981 --> 00:03:48.284
- For younger voters,
- 00:03:48.284 --> 00:03:49.819
- But just rallying voters in general
- 00:03:49.819 --> 00:03:51.688
- And just really getting
- 00:03:51.688 --> 00:03:52.922
- Into the granular weeds of turning out voters
- 00:03:52.922 --> 00:03:55.925
- And getting people to go to the polls,
- 00:03:55.925 --> 00:03:57.126
- Getting people to return their mail ballots.
- 00:03:57.126 --> 00:03:59.028
- Hence how,
- 00:03:59.028 --> 00:04:00.196
- You know, the chase the vote program was sort of born.
- 00:04:00.196 --> 00:04:02.298
- So we're we're worked on that very closely.
- 00:04:02.298 --> 00:04:04.100
- But, you know, charlie and i developed
- 00:04:04.100 --> 00:04:07.003
- A personal friendship, and i said, i wrote this online.
- 00:04:07.003 --> 00:04:09.605
- I didn't know what to say, after
- 00:04:09.605 --> 00:04:12.675
- The news of the assassination, but i wrote online.
- 00:04:12.675 --> 00:04:14.744
- I mean, one of the things
- 00:04:14.744 --> 00:04:16.212
- The thing that i admired about charlie the most is,
- 00:04:16.212 --> 00:04:18.648
- He really inspired people around him.
- 00:04:18.648 --> 00:04:21.317
- I think, to be better, me included.
- 00:04:21.317 --> 00:04:22.618
- I never heard him use a swear word.
- 00:04:22.618 --> 00:04:23.886
- I wish that was true of me.
- 00:04:23.886 --> 00:04:25.555
- My parents are mortified to see me having,
- 00:04:25.555 --> 00:04:27.457
- You know, sworn on tv accidentally recently.
- 00:04:27.457 --> 00:04:29.992
- Never used a swear word.
- 00:04:29.992 --> 00:04:31.894
- And, but he's a great father, a great husband.
- 00:04:31.894 --> 00:04:35.531
- And the biggest thing is that, obviously, his testimony
- 00:04:35.531 --> 00:04:40.603
- For jesus, we should all be the way
- 00:04:40.603 --> 00:04:43.239
- Charlie was and put our faith first.
- 00:04:43.239 --> 00:04:45.641
- And to to advocate to our generation
- 00:04:45.641 --> 00:04:49.712
- For why it's great to get married and have a family.
- 00:04:49.712 --> 00:04:52.115
- I, i always joke with my wife.
- 00:04:52.115 --> 00:04:55.284
- We've been married 11 years now.
- 00:04:55.284 --> 00:04:57.053
- I don't know what we were doing before we had kids.
- 00:04:57.053 --> 00:04:58.888
- Everybody should have kids.
- 00:04:58.888 --> 00:05:00.456
- It's the most fulfilling thing in your life.
- 00:05:00.456 --> 00:05:02.225
- And i know not everybody can or haven't found
- 00:05:02.225 --> 00:05:04.927
- The right spouse.
- 00:05:04.927 --> 00:05:05.928
- I would say ask god for that.
- 00:05:05.928 --> 00:05:07.797
- But you know that
- 00:05:07.797 --> 00:05:09.232
- Sort of transcends politics
- 00:05:09.232 --> 00:05:10.566
- And everything else, but it also doesn't.
- 00:05:10.566 --> 00:05:12.568
- The family should be at the center of everything we do.
- 00:05:12.568 --> 00:05:15.638
- It's the center of our culture, centered around god and.
- 00:05:15.638 --> 00:05:19.175
- And charlie just understood that in a way.
- 00:05:19.175 --> 00:05:21.611
- As the president said yesterday,
- 00:05:21.611 --> 00:05:23.613
- He wise beyond his years.
- 00:05:23.613 --> 00:05:24.680
- That's so true in so many ways.
- 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:26.582
- And, that's one of them.
- 00:05:26.582 --> 00:05:27.984
- The president talked about charlie's marriage
- 00:05:27.984 --> 00:05:30.987
- A little bit in his remarks yesterday, and he mentioned,
- 00:05:30.987 --> 00:05:35.158
- How he knew charlie, actually, before he even got married.
- 00:05:35.158 --> 00:05:37.927
- And then he talked about charlie
- 00:05:37.927 --> 00:05:39.095
- Telling him he was going to get married.
- 00:05:39.095 --> 00:05:40.563
- So let's, let's play that let's play clip, 213.
- 00:05:40.563 --> 00:05:44.567
- Yeah.
- 00:05:44.801 --> 00:05:45.635
- I was with him before i met erica,
- 00:05:45.635 --> 00:05:48.271
- And he told me he was going to get married.
- 00:05:48.271 --> 00:05:50.006
- He said,
- 00:05:50.006 --> 00:05:51.374
- You won't believe
- 00:05:51.374 --> 00:05:53.643
- How beautiful she is.
- 00:05:53.643 --> 00:05:55.878
- I said, well, then, now that i made her, he's right.
- 00:05:55.878 --> 00:05:58.181
- But then he also said, and you know what?
- 00:05:58.181 --> 00:06:00.850
- She's, like the smartest person i know.
- 00:06:00.850 --> 00:06:03.820
- See, they do go together on occasion.
- 00:06:04.620 --> 00:06:06.722
- Not often, not often,
- 00:06:06.722 --> 00:06:10.026
- But on occasion they go together.
- 00:06:10.026 --> 00:06:12.428
- But, he was he was in love with you.
- 00:06:12.428 --> 00:06:15.898
- He was deeply in love with you.
- 00:06:15.898 --> 00:06:17.099
- That's great.
- 00:06:17.099 --> 00:06:18.267
- Erica, your love and courage have been an inspiration
- 00:06:18.267 --> 00:06:21.604
- To all of us.
- 00:06:21.604 --> 00:06:22.772
- And we will always be here for you.
- 00:06:22.772 --> 00:06:25.374
- And we're always going
- 00:06:25.374 --> 00:06:26.476
- To be here for your gorgeous, beautiful children.
- 00:06:26.476 --> 00:06:29.946
- And we'll never forget what your family
- 00:06:29.946 --> 00:06:32.081
- Has sacrificed for our country.
- 00:06:32.081 --> 00:06:35.284
- Man loved our country.
- 00:06:35.284 --> 00:06:37.119
- We talked a lot about how
- 00:06:37.687 --> 00:06:38.855
- Charlie helped with the election,
- 00:06:38.855 --> 00:06:40.289
- But i thought maybe you could elaborate on,
- 00:06:40.289 --> 00:06:43.359
- You know, charlie was he
- 00:06:43.893 --> 00:06:44.994
- He went down to mar-a-lago during the transition.
- 00:06:44.994 --> 00:06:47.163
- He didn't care for dc,
- 00:06:47.163 --> 00:06:48.698
- But he would come here often enough,
- 00:06:48.698 --> 00:06:50.933
- Try to get into the white house when he could.
- 00:06:50.933 --> 00:06:52.768
- I know he was
- 00:06:52.768 --> 00:06:53.970
- Running around this area, running around the west wing.
- 00:06:53.970 --> 00:06:56.572
- Could you maybe elaborate on sort of the role
- 00:06:56.572 --> 00:06:58.341
- He was able to play within the white house, or just
- 00:06:58.341 --> 00:07:00.009
- What his presence was like here?
- 00:07:00.009 --> 00:07:01.210
- Yeah, i mean, he was an advisor on un personnel.
- 00:07:01.210 --> 00:07:04.514
- I mean, you mentioned he spent a lot of time,
- 00:07:04.514 --> 00:07:06.482
- Talking to areas, particularly that he knew very well
- 00:07:06.482 --> 00:07:09.252
- Or cared deeply about talking to people
- 00:07:09.252 --> 00:07:10.786
- And getting a feel for who they were
- 00:07:10.786 --> 00:07:12.088
- And whether or not they were aligned.
- 00:07:12.088 --> 00:07:13.222
- And he was really essential to that, helping make sure,
- 00:07:13.222 --> 00:07:16.058
- That we got the right people
- 00:07:16.058 --> 00:07:17.593
- Into the right seats on the bus,
- 00:07:17.593 --> 00:07:19.028
- You know, as they sort of say in business school.
- 00:07:19.028 --> 00:07:21.597
- And he had policy ideas.
- 00:07:21.597 --> 00:07:23.533
- That's the thing, charlie, is not just a political guy.
- 00:07:23.533 --> 00:07:25.167
- I mean, he had a well beyond his years
- 00:07:25.167 --> 00:07:27.937
- Wide ranging, sort of a philosophical view
- 00:07:27.937 --> 00:07:31.374
- Of the world of government on what direction we need to go.
- 00:07:31.374 --> 00:07:34.810
- What's right and wrong and how that helps our movement.
- 00:07:34.810 --> 00:07:37.413
- And so we would talk about that and, he would just help us
- 00:07:37.413 --> 00:07:40.983
- Get things done.
- 00:07:40.983 --> 00:07:41.751
- You ask what our priorities are.
- 00:07:41.751 --> 00:07:43.252
- We want to make we want to bring the american dream back.
- 00:07:43.252 --> 00:07:45.354
- We want to make people be able to once again
- 00:07:45.354 --> 00:07:48.057
- Propel themselves upward, socio economically,
- 00:07:48.057 --> 00:07:51.127
- Through their own labor.
- 00:07:51.127 --> 00:07:52.361
- We want to make life affordable.
- 00:07:52.361 --> 00:07:53.963
- We want to make health care affordable.
- 00:07:53.963 --> 00:07:55.531
- We're focused on getting down
- 00:07:55.531 --> 00:07:56.599
- The price of prescription drugs.
- 00:07:56.599 --> 00:07:58.267
- So charlie was all about that, and he totally agreed
- 00:07:58.267 --> 00:08:00.870
- Because this is something people
- 00:08:00.870 --> 00:08:01.804
- Come into contact with constantly.
- 00:08:01.804 --> 00:08:03.506
- We want to make the ability to buy a home.
- 00:08:03.506 --> 00:08:06.142
- You know, something that is open to more people.
- 00:08:06.142 --> 00:08:08.945
- Obviously, we know what's happened.
- 00:08:08.945 --> 00:08:10.079
- The biggest problem we took when biden came in office
- 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.649
- Is the biden inflation in the last four years, right.
- 00:08:13.649 --> 00:08:15.618
- Prices skyrocketed and we've had to turn that around.
- 00:08:15.618 --> 00:08:18.120
- That's a slow moving ship.
- 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:19.188
- But you know what? all your inflation hasn't gone up.
- 00:08:19.188 --> 00:08:21.357
- It's trending in the right direction.
- 00:08:21.357 --> 00:08:23.092
- And, we want to make
- 00:08:23.092 --> 00:08:25.861
- The american dream accessible to people.
- 00:08:25.861 --> 00:08:28.864
- It's very simple.
- 00:08:28.864 --> 00:08:29.832
- America should be
- 00:08:29.832 --> 00:08:30.700
- The best country in the world to live
- 00:08:30.700 --> 00:08:32.001
- In, to get married, to work, to raise a family,
- 00:08:32.001 --> 00:08:35.037
- And to be safe in your neighborhood.
- 00:08:35.037 --> 00:08:36.372
- Crime is something we're talking a lot about.
- 00:08:36.372 --> 00:08:37.907
- Charlie was all about that, too.
- 00:08:37.907 --> 00:08:39.241
- We must control violent crime in this country,
- 00:08:39.241 --> 00:08:40.977
- And we're proving right now
- 00:08:40.977 --> 00:08:41.844
- In washington, memphis, elsewhere.
- 00:08:41.844 --> 00:08:43.145
- We can.
- 00:08:43.145 --> 00:08:43.913
- It's about having the will
- 00:08:43.913 --> 00:08:44.981
- To enforce the laws that are on the books.
- 00:08:44.981 --> 00:08:46.682
- And we cannot be beholden to violent criminals,
- 00:08:46.682 --> 00:08:48.951
- And liberal politicians that want to be beholden
- 00:08:48.951 --> 00:08:51.754
- To violent criminals.
- 00:08:51.754 --> 00:08:52.588
- We're not going to be anymore. months.
- 00:08:52.588 --> 00:08:53.789

- 00:09:04.400 --> 00:09:05.301
- 12 three, god made a powerful promise
- 00:09:05.301 --> 00:09:07.937
- To abraham, the father of the jewish people.

- 00:09:14.343 --> 00:09:15.878

- This whole story, this whole tragedy that
- 00:11:19.903 --> 00:11:22.272

- 00:11:22.272 --> 00:11:24.674

- 00:11:32.115 --> 00:11:33.283
- That you guys have done for erica, for us.
- 00:11:33.283 --> 00:11:36.620

- 00:11:42.025 --> 00:11:45.228
- The man you are and your character.
- 00:11:45.228 --> 00:11:46.596
- And i just i really want the audience
- 00:11:46.596 --> 00:11:48.365
- To know that of that you're a human being that you have,
- 00:11:48.365 --> 00:11:51.368

- Vice president, i appreciate that.
- 00:12:01.978 --> 00:12:03.380
- It's good to see you guys and obviously wish
- 00:12:03.380 --> 00:12:05.749
- It was under slightly different circumstances.
- 00:12:05.749 --> 00:12:07.450
- But yesterday was quite
- 00:12:07.450 --> 00:12:08.285
- A celebration of the white house,
- 00:12:08.285 --> 00:12:09.753
- This whole month
- 00:12:09.753 --> 00:12:10.854
- Has been so surreal for so many of us in so many ways.
- 00:12:10.854 --> 00:12:13.523
- But but that day really did set the tone for us
- 00:12:13.523 --> 00:12:16.293
- In a lot of ways.
- 00:12:16.293 --> 00:12:16.993
- I mean, one, it's it's, you
- 00:12:16.993 --> 00:12:20.063
- So so you met, she had met,
- 00:12:20.063 --> 00:12:23.133
- Charlie before actually, the claremont speech
- 00:12:23.133 --> 00:12:25.402
- That i gave that charlie was really to i mean, he i remember
- 00:12:25.402 --> 00:12:27.938
- He texted me afterwards, she like, that's you.
- 00:12:27.938 --> 00:12:29.306
- That's your best speech ever. given an amazing speech.
- 00:12:29.306 --> 00:12:31.408
- And, you know,
- 00:12:31.408 --> 00:12:32.576
- I kept on looking at the audience,
- 00:12:32.576 --> 00:12:33.944
- And there's charlie sitting next to us.
- 00:12:33.944 --> 00:12:35.512
- Yeah, they were like, in the front table.
- 00:12:35.512 --> 00:12:37.214
- And that may have been the first time
- 00:12:37.214 --> 00:12:38.615
- That you had spent,
- 00:12:38.615 --> 00:12:39.616
- Like, more than 5 or 10 minutes with charlie.
- 00:12:39.616 --> 00:12:42.385
- And, but i don't think she'd ever met erica.
- 00:12:42.385 --> 00:12:44.855
- But that, of course, was the point
- 00:12:44.855 --> 00:12:46.122
- At which she was able to be there for erica
- 00:12:46.122 --> 00:12:48.692
- And that that cemented their bond, that created their bond.
- 00:12:48.692 --> 00:12:51.661
- So it was despite the sadness and the tragedy.
- 00:12:51.661 --> 00:12:55.398
- It was
- 00:12:55.398 --> 00:12:56.299
- It was a special day in a lot of ways,
- 00:12:56.299 --> 00:12:57.534
- And i think set the tone for the next month, which, which,
- 00:12:57.534 --> 00:13:00.604
- Which has been us mourning charlie, of course,
- 00:13:00.604 --> 00:13:02.472
- Thinking about charlie, trying to keep charlie's memory alive
- 00:13:02.472 --> 00:13:05.508
- And all of that. i think really, really,
- 00:13:05.508 --> 00:13:07.444
- At least for us, started on that day.
- 00:13:07.444 --> 00:13:09.880
- And, you know, on that note of you coming alongside us,
- 00:13:09.880 --> 00:13:13.250
- We do have a little bit of news.
- 00:13:13.250 --> 00:13:14.951
- That's right, a big announcement.
- 00:13:14.951 --> 00:13:16.152
- Yeah. big announcement.
- 00:13:16.152 --> 00:13:17.087
- Do you want me or, you know, go ahead.
- 00:13:17.087 --> 00:13:18.488
- All right.
- 00:13:18.488 --> 00:13:19.356

- Joining erica kirk on our campus tour.
- 00:13:21.191 --> 00:13:25.262
- It's going to be a big one.
- 00:13:25.262 --> 00:13:26.529
- Big one at old miss.
- 00:13:26.529 --> 00:13:28.832

- And correct me
- 00:13:34.471 --> 00:13:35.538
- If i'm wrong, will's going to get mad at me here.
- 00:13:35.538 --> 00:13:37.307
- That's october 29th, i believe, in ole miss,
- 00:13:37.307 --> 00:13:40.810
- Oxford, mississippi.
- 00:13:40.810 --> 00:13:42.045
- And, it's going to be erica's only appearance on the tour.
- 00:13:42.045 --> 00:13:45.815
- I mean, we
- 00:13:45.815 --> 00:13:46.683
- We really you know, we thought about
- 00:13:46.683 --> 00:13:48.218
- Suggesting to her to do more and it's just she needs time.
- 00:13:48.218 --> 00:13:51.388
- She still needs time.
- 00:13:51.388 --> 00:13:52.322
- She does.
- 00:13:52.322 --> 00:13:53.523
- But she wanted to make it a priority to be at this one.
- 00:13:53.523 --> 00:13:55.892
- And you're making it a priority to be at this one where it's
- 00:13:55.892 --> 00:13:58.128
- Going to be like 9 or 10,000 people in the arena there.
- 00:13:58.128 --> 00:14:01.364
- So it's a huge deal.
- 00:14:01.364 --> 00:14:02.666
- Please tell us, tell us your perspective on this.
- 00:14:02.666 --> 00:14:05.969
- Yeah, i'm excited about it.
- 00:14:05.969 --> 00:14:07.203
- And one of the things i said to you and others,
- 00:14:07.203 --> 00:14:09.172
- As you know, privately, is i was like, will you?
- 00:14:09.172 --> 00:14:11.107
- Part of keeping charlie's memory
- 00:14:11.107 --> 00:14:12.509
- Alive is keeping the mission alive.
- 00:14:12.509 --> 00:14:14.444
- And nobody can replace charlie.
- 00:14:14.444 --> 00:14:16.813
- But if we all sort of
- 00:14:16.813 --> 00:14:18.048
- Take a little pieces, we can do as much as we can to ensure
- 00:14:18.048 --> 00:14:21.384
- That charlie's mission
- 00:14:21.384 --> 00:14:22.585
- Continues to survive long after he's gone.
- 00:14:22.585 --> 00:14:25.322
- And part of that is his college campus tours. right.
- 00:14:25.322 --> 00:14:27.590
- And i'm going to do exactly what charlie did.
- 00:14:27.590 --> 00:14:29.292
- I mean, my plan is to, you know, give a little speech,
- 00:14:29.292 --> 00:14:32.729
- Talk a little bit about the issues of the day,
- 00:14:32.729 --> 00:14:34.631
- But turn most of it over to just do q&a with the audience.
- 00:14:34.631 --> 00:14:37.667
- I actually want to know what i want to hear from these kids.
- 00:14:37.667 --> 00:14:40.036
- I want to answer questions from them.
- 00:14:40.036 --> 00:14:41.471
- I want to do it with charlie, because i think that engagement
- 00:14:41.471 --> 00:14:44.174
- Is something that was such a big part of charlie's legacy.
- 00:14:44.174 --> 00:14:47.043
- It's not just that he went and talked to people
- 00:14:47.043 --> 00:14:49.045
- Or talked about issues that he cared about,
- 00:14:49.045 --> 00:14:51.014
- It's that he actually interact with people,
- 00:14:51.014 --> 00:14:52.615
- And he answered questions sometimes,
- 00:14:52.615 --> 00:14:54.050
- You know, he answered tough questions.
- 00:14:54.050 --> 00:14:55.785
- He would answer tough questions
- 00:14:55.785 --> 00:14:56.853
- From the left and from the right.
- 00:14:56.853 --> 00:14:58.188
- And so i want to do that too.
- 00:14:58.188 --> 00:14:59.255
- And of course, having erica there is very special.
- 00:14:59.255 --> 00:15:01.925
- I am glad that she's not doing all of them
- 00:15:01.925 --> 00:15:04.060
- Because she's obviously got a lot to deal with.
- 00:15:04.060 --> 00:15:06.162
- She's she's grieving more than any of us are.
- 00:15:06.162 --> 00:15:08.465
- She's taking care to beautiful kids,
- 00:15:08.465 --> 00:15:10.100
- But it'll be very special to have her there.
- 00:15:10.100 --> 00:15:12.235
- And you actually, it's interesting.
- 00:15:12.235 --> 00:15:14.571
- I mean, any of you who've known somebody who's grieving
- 00:15:14.571 --> 00:15:17.407
- Very somebody that they love very much know that it comes
- 00:15:17.407 --> 00:15:20.944
- In hills and valleys, right?
- 00:15:20.944 --> 00:15:22.379
- Some days it's like the worst day imaginable.
- 00:15:22.379 --> 00:15:25.382
- Some days you actually feel like you're doing okay.
- 00:15:25.382 --> 00:15:28.151
- And, i,
- 00:15:28.151 --> 00:15:29.252
- You know, eric has been staying with his last few days
- 00:15:29.252 --> 00:15:31.021
- At the naval observatory, actually,
- 00:15:31.021 --> 00:15:32.956
- And you sort of see it. all right.
- 00:15:32.956 --> 00:15:34.891
- There are days where you think she's doing pretty well.
- 00:15:34.891 --> 00:15:37.160
- There are days where you think she's doing terribly,
- 00:15:37.160 --> 00:15:39.429
- And that's just a process.
- 00:15:39.429 --> 00:15:40.663
- And i hope that she continues to kind of,
- 00:15:40.663 --> 00:15:42.532
- Yes, keep charlie's mission alive.
- 00:15:42.532 --> 00:15:44.434
- And, yes,
- 00:15:44.434 --> 00:15:45.368
- You know, do everything that you guys are
- 00:15:45.368 --> 00:15:46.569
- Doing at turning points usa.
- 00:15:46.569 --> 00:15:47.904
- But i also hope that she continues to grieve
- 00:15:47.904 --> 00:15:49.639
- A little bit
- 00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:50.707
- And to carve out some time for her and her family.
- 00:15:50.707 --> 00:15:53.043
- You know, a buddy of mine.
- 00:15:53.043 --> 00:15:54.611
- I didn't mean to talk about this, but i'm.
- 00:15:55.512 --> 00:15:57.247
- I'm going to say it, but a buddy of mine,
- 00:15:57.247 --> 00:15:58.548
- And this is what drives home.
- 00:15:58.548 --> 00:16:00.283
- How angry i get at the people celebrating charlie's death,
- 00:16:00.283 --> 00:16:03.920
- And how really one sided it is that you have people
- 00:16:03.920 --> 00:16:06.289
- Actually celebrating the murder of a dear friend
- 00:16:06.289 --> 00:16:08.591
- Of a guy who was a leader to so many people.
- 00:16:08.591 --> 00:16:10.693
- But i was talking to another mutual friend, actually,
- 00:16:10.693 --> 00:16:13.563
- He was the guy sitting
- 00:16:13.563 --> 00:16:14.764
- To my left at dinner a couple of nights ago
- 00:16:14.764 --> 00:16:17.100
- At the vice president's residence.
- 00:16:17.100 --> 00:16:18.401
- So i won't
- 00:16:18.401 --> 00:16:19.269
- I won't reveal who it was publicly,
- 00:16:19.269 --> 00:16:20.937
- But he told me that he had called erica
- 00:16:20.937 --> 00:16:22.505
- About a week or so after charlie died
- 00:16:22.505 --> 00:16:25.108
- And he could hear charlie's daughter say, where's daddy
- 00:16:25.108 --> 00:16:29.212
- Like six times during this very brief phone call.
- 00:16:29.212 --> 00:16:32.482
- And i think all of us have had these moments where, yes,
- 00:16:32.482 --> 00:16:35.952
- We love charlie and we love his ideas,
- 00:16:35.952 --> 00:16:37.787
- And we love what an important voice he was.
- 00:16:37.787 --> 00:16:40.356
- You know, he's a necessary part.
- 00:16:40.356 --> 00:16:41.591
- It says the white house right behind you guys, right?
- 00:16:41.591 --> 00:16:43.393
- We're right here at the white house complex.
- 00:16:43.393 --> 00:16:45.261
- We wouldn't be here without charlie, but.
- 00:16:45.261 --> 00:16:47.130
- But most tragically,
- 00:16:47.130 --> 00:16:48.965
- They took a very loving husband away from a wife.
- 00:16:48.965 --> 00:16:52.235
- And they took a very loving father away from two kids.
- 00:16:52.235 --> 00:16:55.205
- And that is, to me, the great tragedy of this moment.
- 00:16:55.205 --> 00:16:57.941
- We can't forget that.
- 00:16:57.941 --> 00:17:01.144
- One out of every five pregnancies in the us
- 00:17:02.045 --> 00:17:05.115
- And an abortion.
- 00:17:05.115 --> 00:17:06.850
- Did you know that
- 00:17:06.850 --> 00:17:07.851
- When a mother sees her baby on an ultrasound
- 00:17:07.851 --> 00:17:09.953
- And hears the heartbeat for the first time,
- 00:17:09.953 --> 00:17:12.322
- It increases the chance you'll choose life to 80%.
- 00:17:12.322 --> 00:17:16.326
- An ultrasound is what saves lives.

- All right.
- 00:18:07.245 --> 00:18:07.812
- Welcome back to have,
- 00:18:07.812 --> 00:18:08.513
- Of course, vice
- 00:18:08.513 --> 00:18:09.481
- President of the united states of america, mr.
- 00:18:09.481 --> 00:18:12.050
- J.d. vance.
- 00:18:12.050 --> 00:18:13.118
- There's you're making a little bit of news here.
- 00:18:13.118 --> 00:18:15.587
- Yesterday on,
- 00:18:15.587 --> 00:18:17.022
- X, formerly known as twitter about this politico story.
- 00:18:17.022 --> 00:18:20.659
- But i think it ties in
- 00:18:20.659 --> 00:18:22.060
- Because we're talking
- 00:18:22.060 --> 00:18:23.028
- About this, the celebratory nature of some.
- 00:18:23.028 --> 00:18:25.430
- Not many, maybe not most, but, some.
- 00:18:25.430 --> 00:18:28.767
- And it was disgusting about charlie's assassination.
- 00:18:28.767 --> 00:18:31.203
- There is a story, and i believe it's there.
- 00:18:31.203 --> 00:18:33.338
- The two stories are connected
- 00:18:33.338 --> 00:18:34.839
- That came out of politico yesterday.
- 00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:36.408
- Blake, explain this for our audience.
- 00:18:36.408 --> 00:18:37.976
- For those who don't know,
- 00:18:37.976 --> 00:18:38.910
- We don't need to wallow in it too much.
- 00:18:38.910 --> 00:18:40.545
- But so politico has a story where somehow they got
- 00:18:40.545 --> 00:18:44.449
- Their hands on something
- 00:18:44.449 --> 00:18:45.483
- Like 28,000 messages in some group chat,
- 00:18:45.483 --> 00:18:48.753
- Group chat of,
- 00:18:48.753 --> 00:18:49.821
- I think
- 00:18:49.821 --> 00:18:50.722
- 12 people that nobody's ever heard of,
- 00:18:50.722 --> 00:18:52.090
- But they decided to just publish
- 00:18:52.090 --> 00:18:53.792
- Every single thing in this chat,
- 00:18:53.792 --> 00:18:55.026
- Whatever they found that they thought
- 00:18:55.026 --> 00:18:56.127
- Was the most salacious and
- 00:18:56.127 --> 00:18:59.331
- I think ten years ago there would have been a
- 00:18:59.331 --> 00:19:01.132
- Very different response to it.
- 00:19:01.132 --> 00:19:03.068
- But people are starting
- 00:19:03.068 --> 00:19:03.935
- To learn from this,
- 00:19:03.935 --> 00:19:05.136
- And the vice president is one of the reasons why.
- 00:19:05.136 --> 00:19:07.439
- So you, tweeted this.
- 00:19:07.439 --> 00:19:09.808
- This is far worse, than so what you did is
- 00:19:09.808 --> 00:19:13.878
- Instead of reacting to the story
- 00:19:13.878 --> 00:19:15.347
- Itself, you just posted what, jay jones,
- 00:19:15.347 --> 00:19:18.116
- Our friend in virginia who's running for ag, as the democrat
- 00:19:18.116 --> 00:19:20.819
- Had said, where he wanted his political opponents to die.
- 00:19:20.819 --> 00:19:24.022
- And then when someone thought he might be kidding,
- 00:19:24.022 --> 00:19:25.857
- He called to, you know, make it clear, actually,
- 00:19:25.857 --> 00:19:28.026
- It wasn't a joke, i was serious.
- 00:19:28.026 --> 00:19:29.494
- That's how people change their mind.
- 00:19:29.494 --> 00:19:30.996
- And you just pointed out,
- 00:19:30.996 --> 00:19:32.130
- Quote, this is far worse than anything said
- 00:19:32.130 --> 00:19:34.733
- In any college group chat.
- 00:19:34.733 --> 00:19:36.234
- And the guy who said it could become the ag of virginia.
- 00:19:36.234 --> 00:19:39.571
- I refused to join the pearl clutching.
- 00:19:39.571 --> 00:19:42.140
- When powerful people call for political violence.
- 00:19:42.140 --> 00:19:44.843
- And we have 14 million views on that.
- 00:19:44.843 --> 00:19:47.045
- And just a little viral, mr. vice president.
- 00:19:47.045 --> 00:19:49.281
- Yeah, i mean, look, i look the tweet speak for itself.
- 00:19:49.281 --> 00:19:51.750
- I'll say a couple of additional things.
- 00:19:51.750 --> 00:19:53.051
- First of all, a person who is very politically powerful,
- 00:19:53.051 --> 00:19:56.588
- Who is about to become one
- 00:19:56.588 --> 00:19:57.756
- Of the most powerful law
- 00:19:57.756 --> 00:19:58.690
- Enforcement officers in the country.
- 00:19:58.690 --> 00:20:00.725
- That person seriously wishing for political violence
- 00:20:00.725 --> 00:20:04.362
- And political assassination is 1000 times worse
- 00:20:04.362 --> 00:20:08.600
- Than what a bunch of young people,
- 00:20:08.600 --> 00:20:10.268
- A bunch of kids say in a group chat.
- 00:20:10.268 --> 00:20:12.504
- However offensive it might be.
- 00:20:12.504 --> 00:20:13.838
- That's just the reality.
- 00:20:13.838 --> 00:20:15.040
- And if you allow yourself to be distracted
- 00:20:15.040 --> 00:20:17.509
- By this person's incredible endorsement,
- 00:20:17.509 --> 00:20:20.645
- Disgusting endorsement of political assassination,
- 00:20:20.645 --> 00:20:23.748
- Then by focusing on what kids are saying in group
- 00:20:23.748 --> 00:20:26.818
- Chat, grow up. i'm sorry.
- 00:20:26.818 --> 00:20:28.586
- Focus on the real issues.
- 00:20:28.586 --> 00:20:29.888
- Don't focus on what kids say in group chats.
- 00:20:29.888 --> 00:20:32.057
- But there's another angle to this
- 00:20:32.057 --> 00:20:33.725
- That i just have to be honest about.
- 00:20:33.725 --> 00:20:35.593
- And i'm like an old guy at this.
- 00:20:35.593 --> 00:20:36.761
- When i'm 41 years old, i have three kids.
- 00:20:36.761 --> 00:20:38.963
- You know, we i grew up in a different world, right?
- 00:20:38.963 --> 00:20:42.467
- Where not most of what i, the stupid things that i did
- 00:20:42.467 --> 00:20:45.103
- When i was a teenager and a young adult,
- 00:20:45.103 --> 00:20:47.439
- They're not on the internet.
- 00:20:47.439 --> 00:20:48.740
- Like i'm going to tell my kids, especially my boys don't
- 00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:52.177
- Put things on the internet.
- 00:20:52.177 --> 00:20:53.478
- Like, be careful with what you post.
- 00:20:53.478 --> 00:20:55.647
- If you put something in a group chat,
- 00:20:55.647 --> 00:20:57.282
- Assume that some scumbag is going to leak it
- 00:20:57.282 --> 00:20:59.417
- In an effort to try to cause you harm
- 00:20:59.417 --> 00:21:01.052
- Or cause your family harm.
- 00:21:01.052 --> 00:21:02.554
- But the reality is that kids do stupid things,
- 00:21:02.554 --> 00:21:05.890
- Especially young boys.
- 00:21:05.890 --> 00:21:07.659
- They tell edgy, offensive jokes like that's what kids do.
- 00:21:07.659 --> 00:21:11.629
- And i really don't want us to grow up in a country
- 00:21:11.629 --> 00:21:13.998
- Where kid telling a stupid joke, telling a very offensive,
- 00:21:13.998 --> 00:21:17.569
- Stupid joke is cause to ruin their lives.
- 00:21:17.569 --> 00:21:20.472
- And at some point, we're all going to have to say,
- 00:21:20.472 --> 00:21:23.074
- Enough of this b.s.
- 00:21:23.074 --> 00:21:24.576
- We're not going to allow
- 00:21:24.576 --> 00:21:26.378
- The worst moment in a 21 year old's group
- 00:21:26.378 --> 00:21:29.381
- Chat to ruin a kid's life for the rest of time.
- 00:21:29.381 --> 00:21:32.317
- That's just not okay.
- 00:21:32.317 --> 00:21:33.752
- Like we live in a digital world,
- 00:21:33.752 --> 00:21:35.286
- This stuff is now etched in stone online.
- 00:21:35.286 --> 00:21:37.856
- We're all going to have to say, you know what?
- 00:21:37.856 --> 00:21:39.624
- No, no, no, we're not doing this.
- 00:21:39.624 --> 00:21:41.159
- We're not canceling kids
- 00:21:41.159 --> 00:21:42.761
- Because they do something stupid in a group chat.
- 00:21:42.761 --> 00:21:45.263
- And, if i have to be the person who carries that message
- 00:21:45.263 --> 00:21:47.799
- Forward, i'm fine with.
- 00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:48.867
- And by the way,
- 00:21:48.867 --> 00:21:50.101
- If they were left wing kids telling stupid left wing jokes,
- 00:21:50.101 --> 00:21:52.704
- I would also not want their lives to be ruined
- 00:21:52.704 --> 00:21:55.407
- Because they're saying something stupid
- 00:21:55.407 --> 00:21:57.075
- In a private group chat
- 00:21:57.075 --> 00:21:58.276
- Or you and charlie shared that, by the way, he he became,
- 00:21:58.276 --> 00:22:01.679
- I mean, because he had so many young people
- 00:22:01.679 --> 00:22:04.015
- At turning point that were working for him,
- 00:22:04.015 --> 00:22:05.717
- That did stupid things from time to time,
- 00:22:05.717 --> 00:22:07.385
- And he would refuse to, to start,
- 00:22:07.385 --> 00:22:10.021
- You know, engaging in the pearl
- 00:22:10.021 --> 00:22:11.022
- Clutching and especially in this moment
- 00:22:11.022 --> 00:22:13.558
- Where we have seen, you know, people celebrating
- 00:22:13.558 --> 00:22:16.361
- Charlie's murder. yes.
- 00:22:16.361 --> 00:22:17.462
- And there has been zero outrage
- 00:22:17.462 --> 00:22:18.930
- As far as i can tell from politico or others
- 00:22:18.930 --> 00:22:21.366
- About something
- 00:22:21.366 --> 00:22:22.400
- So vile, is that i'm still so disgusted
- 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:24.335
- That this is like something
- 00:22:24.335 --> 00:22:25.670
- That we've put up with as a country.
- 00:22:25.670 --> 00:22:27.238
- Yep. mr.
- 00:22:27.238 --> 00:22:28.072
- Vice president, final minute to you.
- 00:22:28.072 --> 00:22:30.442
- Whatever, whatever you want to expound upon,
- 00:22:30.442 --> 00:22:33.278
- Say something interesting
- 00:22:33.845 --> 00:22:34.946
- That's always dangerous to a politician.
- 00:22:34.946 --> 00:22:36.581
- A free microphone for a minute.
- 00:22:36.581 --> 00:22:37.782
- But i guess one i mean, look, i'm so proud of you guys.
- 00:22:37.782 --> 00:22:41.019
- I think you're doing a great job.
- 00:22:41.019 --> 00:22:42.120
- I know it's very hard, to grieve for a friend, but
- 00:22:42.120 --> 00:22:44.823
- Also to try to carry on an impossibly large legacy.
- 00:22:44.823 --> 00:22:48.126
- I'm here to support you guys while you're doing it.
- 00:22:48.126 --> 00:22:50.495
- I will just say that for for all of the the negativity
- 00:22:50.495 --> 00:22:55.467
- And the hate and the people celebrating charlie's
- 00:22:55.467 --> 00:22:58.403
- Assassination, for every one negative moment.
- 00:22:58.403 --> 00:23:01.172
- I've had a thousand positive moments in the past month.
- 00:23:01.172 --> 00:23:04.476
- I've had people who have come up to me
- 00:23:04.476 --> 00:23:05.777
- Who said i went back to church because charlie got shot.
- 00:23:05.777 --> 00:23:08.847
- I've had people come up and say
- 00:23:08.847 --> 00:23:10.715
- That they listened to his clips for the first time.
- 00:23:10.715 --> 00:23:13.518
- They even knew who he was,
- 00:23:13.518 --> 00:23:14.686
- Especially like older people who didn't know who he was
- 00:23:14.686 --> 00:23:17.222
- Before he was killed.
- 00:23:17.222 --> 00:23:18.122
- But now they're consuming his video
- 00:23:18.122 --> 00:23:19.557
- Content and learning from it.
- 00:23:19.557 --> 00:23:21.226
- Getting back to their faith, i just remember
- 00:23:21.226 --> 00:23:23.728
- There's a lot of love out there
- 00:23:23.728 --> 00:23:25.263
- And we should remember that for all of the hate out there,
- 00:23:25.263 --> 00:23:28.466
- There's ten times as much love.
- 00:23:28.466 --> 00:23:30.068
- I think that's that's has to be our charge
- 00:23:30.068 --> 00:23:32.770
- As we move forward and carry on charlie's legacy.
- 00:23:32.770 --> 00:23:38.076
- The poverty is unimaginable.
- 00:23:38.676 --> 00:23:42.046
- There are people who are struggling.
- 00:23:42.046 --> 00:23:45.016
- Those who are hungry.
- 00:23:45.517 --> 00:23:46.951
- Forgotten jews.
- 00:23:46.951 --> 00:23:48.653
- Scripture says joy can come in the morning.
- 00:23:48.653 --> 00:23:51.523
- And you can be the reason.
- 00:23:51.523 --> 00:23:53.224
- Bless these hurting children of israel.
- 00:23:53.224 --> 00:23:55.860
- Your urgent gift today of $25 will help rush
- 00:23:55.860 --> 00:23:59.831
- A survival food box filled with life saving essentials.
- 00:23:59.831 --> 00:24:03.601
- Tens of thousands of elderly holocaust survivors
- 00:24:03.601 --> 00:24:06.571
- In the former soviet union are living in extreme poverty.
- 00:24:06.571 --> 00:24:10.441
- Hungry
- 00:24:10.642 --> 00:24:11.409
- For god? the truly international
- 00:24:11.409 --> 00:24:13.378
- Fellowship of christians and jews.
- 00:24:13.378 --> 00:24:15.179
- We can bring hope.
- 00:24:15.179 --> 00:24:16.915
- It's my favorite food.
- 00:24:16.915 --> 00:24:19.684
- May you be blessed.
- 00:24:19.684 --> 00:24:19.684
