- 00:02:49.325 --> 00:02:51.594
- Andrew.
- 00:02:51.594 --> 00:02:52.729
- It's obviously the first time fest without charlie.
- 00:02:52.729 --> 00:02:54.097
- Yeah,
- 00:02:54.097 --> 00:02:55.298
- Although charlie's presence is strong here, his memory,
- 00:02:55.298 --> 00:02:57.267
- He talked about charlie's legacy.
- 00:02:57.267 --> 00:02:59.569
- Basically every corner, that you can imagine.
- 00:02:59.569 --> 00:03:02.238
- You'll see
- 00:03:02.238 --> 00:03:03.306
- Something with charlie in it, his fingerprints on it.
- 00:03:03.306 --> 00:03:06.376
- And if you have been a part of these events,
- 00:03:06.376 --> 00:03:08.678
- Like i have for so many years, you realize he is,
- 00:03:08.678 --> 00:03:13.883
- In everything?
- 00:03:14.217 --> 00:03:14.951
- I mean, genuinely.
- 00:03:14.951 --> 00:03:16.052
- And to be honest,
- 00:03:16.052 --> 00:03:17.720
- It's the first day here when you and i are talking, and,
- 00:03:17.720 --> 00:03:20.623
- It's a little emotional just walking through the space.
- 00:03:20.623 --> 00:03:22.825
- Yeah.
- 00:03:22.825 --> 00:03:23.660
- And just, you know, i was backstage,
- 00:03:23.660 --> 00:03:25.828
- I saw, like, our intro video that we're going to have,
- 00:03:25.828 --> 00:03:28.631
- That's going to blow people away.
- 00:03:28.631 --> 00:03:30.099
- It's.
- 00:03:30.099 --> 00:03:31.367
- His legacy is huge.
- 00:03:31.367 --> 00:03:34.304
- Obviously it's massive.
- 00:03:34.304 --> 00:03:35.772
- And i think today is going to be and this whole weekend
- 00:03:35.772 --> 00:03:38.875
- Is going to be a tribute to him. yeah.
- 00:03:38.875 --> 00:03:40.677
- It's going to be,
- 00:03:40.677 --> 00:03:42.312
- I think, emotional for the team to see it play out.
- 00:03:42.312 --> 00:03:44.781
- But yet to your point, i mean, charlie,
- 00:03:44.781 --> 00:03:46.649
- I kept having to pinch myself even when charlie was alive.
- 00:03:46.649 --> 00:03:49.485
- We were working.
- 00:03:49.485 --> 00:03:49.919
- We could real
- 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:51.020
- Could really recalibrate how famous he was getting,
- 00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:53.823
- How much his message was spreading,
- 00:03:53.823 --> 00:03:55.625
- How how impactful his words were for so many people.
- 00:03:55.625 --> 00:03:58.761
- And then. yeah, and death.
- 00:03:58.761 --> 00:04:00.063
- And you see this worldwide
- 00:04:00.063 --> 00:04:01.230
- Outpouring of love and support, prayer.
- 00:04:01.230 --> 00:04:04.334
- I think it's one of those things it's impossible to quantify.
- 00:04:04.334 --> 00:04:07.070
- Yeah.
- 00:04:07.070 --> 00:04:07.937
- And we're just going to have to wait
- 00:04:07.937 --> 00:04:08.705
- And see how history plays out
- 00:04:08.705 --> 00:04:10.306
- To truly gain some semblance of an understanding of
- 00:04:10.306 --> 00:04:13.276
- Just what he's meant to this, to this world, to this country,
- 00:04:13.276 --> 00:04:16.412
- And to the next generation.
- 00:04:16.412 --> 00:04:18.114
- Yeah, the legacy lives on.
- 00:04:18.114 --> 00:04:19.382
- Erica kirk, of course, will be speaking here.
- 00:04:19.382 --> 00:04:21.250
- He's got a great line up, andrew,
- 00:04:21.250 --> 00:04:22.452
- Which we will discuss in a minute.
- 00:04:22.452 --> 00:04:24.587
- But what are some of the big
- 00:04:24.587 --> 00:04:25.488
- Issues for you the midterms coming up
- 00:04:25.488 --> 00:04:27.690
- Obviously november right around the corner.
- 00:04:27.690 --> 00:04:29.859
- What are some of the big issues for turning point
- 00:04:29.859 --> 00:04:32.128
- That you really stressing at amp
- 00:04:32.128 --> 00:04:33.629
- Fest this year that we need to be aware about?
- 00:04:33.629 --> 00:04:35.431
- As conservatives as americans at 2026.
- 00:04:35.431 --> 00:04:38.968
- You know, it's going to be a really important year.
- 00:04:38.968 --> 00:04:40.536
- A lot of people prognosticators are saying
- 00:04:40.536 --> 00:04:42.805
- We're going to lose the midterms.
- 00:04:42.805 --> 00:04:44.407
- We never approach anything with the that sort of perspective.
- 00:04:44.407 --> 00:04:48.644
- We don't want to doom.
- 00:04:48.644 --> 00:04:49.946
- I would do ism like we reject that at turning point
- 00:04:49.946 --> 00:04:52.648
- Action, turning point usa.
- 00:04:52.648 --> 00:04:54.183
- It's all about what we can do to make a difference.
- 00:04:54.183 --> 00:04:56.452
- And as we can see with what happened with charlie,
- 00:04:56.452 --> 00:04:58.688
- Things can pivot on a dime, right?
- 00:04:58.688 --> 00:05:00.857
- Where after he, was assassinated,
- 00:05:00.857 --> 00:05:04.627
- We saw the whole country
- 00:05:05.161 --> 00:05:06.662
- Kind of coalesce the conservative movement.
- 00:05:06.662 --> 00:05:08.464
- Certainly there's this comprehensive
- 00:05:08.464 --> 00:05:09.866
- And unity revival, revival stirring. yeah.
- 00:05:09.866 --> 00:05:12.468
- And then you have after that, this infighting
- 00:05:12.468 --> 00:05:16.406
- And and the consternation and the and the wrestling
- 00:05:16.406 --> 00:05:19.442
- Through different issues, different personalities,
- 00:05:19.442 --> 00:05:22.278
- Those kind of things i think can be healthy and good
- 00:05:22.278 --> 00:05:25.581
- If we embrace the challenge, if we embrace the challenge
- 00:05:25.581 --> 00:05:28.551
- Of those debates and we don't shy away from.
- 00:05:28.551 --> 00:05:30.386
- Them and the left doesn't do that.
- 00:05:30.386 --> 00:05:31.754
- But yeah, no, i was going to say it's you particularly. yeah.
- 00:05:31.754 --> 00:05:34.290
- Conservative dynamic that we are
- 00:05:34.290 --> 00:05:36.993
- We're a raucous group of people.
- 00:05:36.993 --> 00:05:38.594
- We have independent thoughts.
- 00:05:38.594 --> 00:05:40.129
- We're not going to be controlled.
- 00:05:40.129 --> 00:05:41.130
- And i love that about conservative. yeah.
- 00:05:41.130 --> 00:05:43.533
- And so you need to give us space to do that.
- 00:05:43.533 --> 00:05:45.334
- Right.
- 00:05:45.334 --> 00:05:46.469
- If you think about the last year trump gets into office,
- 00:05:46.469 --> 00:05:49.205
- We have this whirlwind 100 days where it's one thing.
- 00:05:49.205 --> 00:05:52.475
- After that, it's almost scripted
- 00:05:52.475 --> 00:05:53.643
- Out, one thing after the other.
- 00:05:53.643 --> 00:05:55.411
- Everybody's getting rock left and right.
- 00:05:55.411 --> 00:05:57.146
- And it was wonderful.
- 00:05:57.146 --> 00:05:59.015
- And we had to get through confirmation.
- 00:05:59.015 --> 00:06:01.050
- And then
- 00:06:01.050 --> 00:06:02.151
- And then kind of the new newness wore off a little bit,
- 00:06:02.151 --> 00:06:05.021
- And we got into the dog days of summer.
- 00:06:05.021 --> 00:06:07.190
- We had iran
- 00:06:07.190 --> 00:06:07.990
- And we had all these bigger questions,
- 00:06:07.990 --> 00:06:10.026
- Can we get peace in the middle east?
- 00:06:10.026 --> 00:06:11.828
- Could we get the ukraine war, settled?
- 00:06:11.828 --> 00:06:14.530
- And then people are still feeling
- 00:06:14.530 --> 00:06:15.631
- The affordability crisis. and so
- 00:06:15.631 --> 00:06:17.900
- You see kind of those ebbs and flows that all last year.
- 00:06:17.900 --> 00:06:21.204
- And then charlie was assassinated.
- 00:06:21.204 --> 00:06:22.405
- It kind of makes sense how we got here now.
- 00:06:22.405 --> 00:06:25.441
- We got to refocus.
- 00:06:25.441 --> 00:06:26.676
- We got to take the legacy of what charlie kirk is leaving us
- 00:06:26.676 --> 00:06:30.646
- And do what charlie would do, which is focus on what we can do
- 00:06:30.646 --> 00:06:34.350
- Right in front of us.
- 00:06:34.350 --> 00:06:35.184
- And let's take action politically
- 00:06:35.184 --> 00:06:36.552
- Where we can knock doors, become a precinct committee,
- 00:06:36.552 --> 00:06:40.256
- Focus on winnable races, and you can try
- 00:06:40.256 --> 00:06:43.359
- And have these debates now so that
- 00:06:43.359 --> 00:06:45.228
- When it comes to the midterms, we're ready to go.
- 00:06:45.228 --> 00:06:47.296
- Yeah, yeah.
- 00:06:47.296 --> 00:06:48.264
- You mentioned that infighting.
- 00:06:48.264 --> 00:06:49.732
- And you've got ben shapiro speaking here.
- 00:06:49.732 --> 00:06:51.767
- And you also tucker carlson kind of two opposite wings there.
- 00:06:51.767 --> 00:06:54.737
- Of course.
- 00:06:54.737 --> 00:06:56.005
- How do you thread that needle.
- 00:06:56.005 --> 00:06:57.340
- It seems israel and the jewish people are really dividing line
- 00:06:57.340 --> 00:07:00.376
- Right now within the movement.
- 00:07:00.376 --> 00:07:01.544
- That's the source of lot of the infighting.
- 00:07:01.544 --> 00:07:03.379
- How do you thread that needle?
- 00:07:03.379 --> 00:07:04.580
- I mean, there's nothing that's not tricky about politics.
- 00:07:04.580 --> 00:07:07.416
- Let's be honest.
- 00:07:07.416 --> 00:07:08.584
- Coalition building is the name of the game
- 00:07:09.452 --> 00:07:11.821
- Who's in, who's out tends to be the most controversial question
- 00:07:11.821 --> 00:07:15.258
- You can ask.
- 00:07:15.258 --> 00:07:16.192
- But i think, you know, there's
- 00:07:16.192 --> 00:07:17.393
- There's i've heard some people say it like this.
- 00:07:17.393 --> 00:07:19.195
- Actually, i'll give credit to steve davis,
- 00:07:19.195 --> 00:07:21.097
- Who's, is a great patriot and a great friend of charlie.
- 00:07:21.097 --> 00:07:25.401
- He basically said it like this.
- 00:07:26.035 --> 00:07:28.037
- You can destroy the coalition in two ways.
- 00:07:28.037 --> 00:07:30.473
- If you mainstream anti-semitism
- 00:07:30.473 --> 00:07:34.443
- Or if you cancel somebody like tucker carlson.
- 00:07:34.443 --> 00:07:37.346
- So there's pressure on either end of that spectrum where
- 00:07:37.346 --> 00:07:42.184
- You could endanger a coalition.
- 00:07:42.184 --> 00:07:45.054
- And here's here's the good part.
- 00:07:45.054 --> 00:07:46.289
- A lot of this stuff gets fixed when you have relationships
- 00:07:46.289 --> 00:07:49.325
- With people, right?
- 00:07:49.325 --> 00:07:50.493
- We're friends with tucker, you know, we know his heart.
- 00:07:50.493 --> 00:07:52.962
- We know what where he's at and what he's kind of probing it.
- 00:07:52.962 --> 00:07:56.032
- That's a lot for a lot of people.
- 00:07:56.032 --> 00:07:57.166
- And i get that. that can be controversial.
- 00:07:57.166 --> 00:07:59.735
- But at the same time, charlie was very clear.
- 00:07:59.735 --> 00:08:02.171
- We're very clear.
- 00:08:02.171 --> 00:08:03.205
- There is no space in the conservative movement
- 00:08:03.205 --> 00:08:05.241
- For jew hate.
- 00:08:05.241 --> 00:08:05.841
- There's no space for it.
- 00:08:05.841 --> 00:08:07.209
- We call it the online brain rot
- 00:08:07.209 --> 00:08:09.245
- Of scapegoating an entire people for all the world's ills.
- 00:08:09.245 --> 00:08:12.782
- Like that's insane, right?
- 00:08:12.782 --> 00:08:13.983
- So where do you find the middle ground?
- 00:08:13.983 --> 00:08:15.184
- Well, okay, listen, as an american, as a christian,
- 00:08:15.184 --> 00:08:18.421
- Obviously i support them.
- 00:08:18.988 --> 00:08:20.690
- I think they're better than the other guys.
- 00:08:20.690 --> 00:08:22.692
- But at the same time, i'm an american, so i'm going to.
- 00:08:22.692 --> 00:08:25.795
- I was born here. i'm going to die here.
- 00:08:25.795 --> 00:08:27.763
- This is where my kids are born.
- 00:08:27.763 --> 00:08:29.732
- It's okay for americans to care about america and and
- 00:08:29.732 --> 00:08:32.868
- To put our own country and our own citizens
- 00:08:32.868 --> 00:08:35.137
- Needs, wants, and concerns first.
- 00:08:35.137 --> 00:08:37.073
- That's the baseline.
- 00:08:37.073 --> 00:08:38.641
- I'm not going to
- 00:08:38.641 --> 00:08:39.375
- Look at a 21 year old
- 00:08:39.375 --> 00:08:40.610
- Who has questions about how much we spend in israel,
- 00:08:40.610 --> 00:08:43.746
- And tell them that they can't be a part of this movement.
- 00:08:43.746 --> 00:08:46.349
- I think that would be self-defeating.
- 00:08:46.349 --> 00:08:48.417
- If you are very pro-israel, then you have a
- 00:08:48.417 --> 00:08:50.419
- You have the case to make to a new generation.
- 00:08:50.419 --> 00:08:52.388
- Trump unleashed this national populism, conservatism
- 00:08:52.388 --> 00:08:56.192
- That has to be reckoned with.
- 00:08:56.192 --> 00:08:57.560
- We got to wrestle through this new idea of of our relationship
- 00:08:57.560 --> 00:09:00.596
- With israel.
- 00:09:00.596 --> 00:09:01.797
- But our relationship in foreign policy in general. right.
- 00:09:01.797 --> 00:09:03.532
- The neocons had their era.
- 00:09:03.532 --> 00:09:04.834
- It was blood, death and sand in the middle east.
- 00:09:04.834 --> 00:09:07.203
- There is a desire to get away from that,
- 00:09:07.203 --> 00:09:09.305
- To spend domestically, take care of our our home front.
- 00:09:09.305 --> 00:09:12.141
- And i understand that impulse.
- 00:09:12.141 --> 00:09:13.843
- But there's nuances.
- 00:09:13.843 --> 00:09:14.877
- And i and i decided we need to have a movement
- 00:09:14.877 --> 00:09:16.746
- That can have a mature debate
- 00:09:16.746 --> 00:09:18.547
- That can welcome that and say, hey, we have
- 00:09:18.547 --> 00:09:20.249
- No room for jew hate, but we but it's okay
- 00:09:20.249 --> 00:09:22.818
- To ask questions about our foreign policy.
- 00:09:22.818 --> 00:09:25.588
- Up next, much more here from the am
- 00:09:26.355 --> 00:09:28.290
- Fest conference in phoenix, arizona with andrew kolvet.
- 00:09:28.290 --> 00:09:31.293
- That one about the rise of islam.
- 00:09:31.293 --> 00:09:33.829
- Charlie kirk warned before his death
- 00:09:33.829 --> 00:09:35.898
- That islam is incompatible with western civilization.
- 00:09:35.898 --> 00:09:39.835
- Guess what?
- 00:09:39.835 --> 00:09:40.970
- Islam is on the rise in the west and what about revival?
- 00:09:40.970 --> 00:09:45.307
- There's that word again. is it really happening?
- 00:09:45.307 --> 00:09:47.943
- What does it mean for america and for you?
- 00:09:47.943 --> 00:09:50.379
- Much more coming up after the break.
- 00:09:50.379 --> 00:09:56.001
- Much more coming up after the break.
- 00:09:56.001 --> 00:09:57.819
- Something charlie was sounding alarm about and drew often.
- 00:09:58.953 --> 00:10:01.723
- Was the threat of islam to jail christian western civilization?
- 00:10:01.723 --> 00:10:05.360
- Yeah, i see
- 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:06.628
- Israel is really the first line of defense for the west in that
- 00:10:06.628 --> 00:10:09.330
- In the belly of the beast fighting the jihadist.
- 00:10:09.330 --> 00:10:11.499
- And i agree, i want. to come here.
- 00:10:11.499 --> 00:10:12.967
- Yeah.
- 00:10:12.967 --> 00:10:14.369
- How do you see that unique threat that islam poses? now?
- 00:10:14.369 --> 00:10:17.372
- We're seeing christmas markets shut down,
- 00:10:17.372 --> 00:10:19.674
- New year's eve celebrations canceled throughout europe.
- 00:10:19.674 --> 00:10:22.444
- Do you see america under president trump is kind of
- 00:10:22.444 --> 00:10:25.547
- In many ways in the west, a lone bastion of sanity
- 00:10:25.547 --> 00:10:29.417
- In the face of this onslaught, mass migration,
- 00:10:29.417 --> 00:10:31.820
- Which is changing the face of europe.
- 00:10:31.820 --> 00:10:33.788
- Yeah. i mean, i couldn't agree more.
- 00:10:33.788 --> 00:10:35.757
- And just on that point
- 00:10:35.757 --> 00:10:37.058
- That israel, we share a common enemy
- 00:10:37.058 --> 00:10:39.728
- And that is radical islam and jihadism.
- 00:10:39.728 --> 00:10:42.897
- I charlie, wasn't
- 00:10:43.331 --> 00:10:44.799
- I one of the things he was loudest
- 00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:46.501
- About before he died was the threat of islam
- 00:10:46.501 --> 00:10:48.536
- And the islam ification of the west, mass migration.
- 00:10:48.536 --> 00:10:51.439
- These things.
- 00:10:51.439 --> 00:10:52.307
- And it was interesting.
- 00:10:52.307 --> 00:10:53.308
- Charlie and i led a focus group of students
- 00:10:53.308 --> 00:10:55.176
- At the student action summit in july in florida,
- 00:10:55.176 --> 00:10:58.379
- And we asked at the end, and we had lots
- 00:10:58.379 --> 00:11:01.116
- Of different students rotate in.
- 00:11:01.116 --> 00:11:02.550
- We asked them, we said, what, what do you think would be,
- 00:11:02.550 --> 00:11:06.387
- An olive branch that would that would make you feel more
- 00:11:07.522 --> 00:11:10.759
- Warmly towards israel. right.
- 00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:12.594
- And a lot of those kids were, were pro,
- 00:11:12.594 --> 00:11:14.562
- But they had questions or there was skepticism
- 00:11:14.562 --> 00:11:17.198
- And they said, you know,
- 00:11:17.198 --> 00:11:18.266
- We share the common enemy of islam, you know, and,
- 00:11:18.266 --> 00:11:21.870
- You know, there is a i think within the
- 00:11:21.870 --> 00:11:25.473
- Within the anti semitic discourse online, there may be
- 00:11:25.473 --> 00:11:28.643
- This growing embrace of, you know,
- 00:11:28.643 --> 00:11:31.813
- The middle east or of islam.
- 00:11:31.813 --> 00:11:34.149
- I think that's a total mistake.
- 00:11:34.149 --> 00:11:35.817
- You do not want that. you do not want that at all
- 00:11:35.817 --> 00:11:38.319
- Because it is a political ideology.
- 00:11:38.319 --> 00:11:40.121
- It is a conquering ideology.
- 00:11:40.121 --> 00:11:41.689
- And, and and charlie said it. i'll repeat it.
- 00:11:41.689 --> 00:11:44.292
- There is no compatibility with western civilization in islam.
- 00:11:44.292 --> 00:11:48.663
- There just isn't.
- 00:11:48.663 --> 00:11:49.898
- And you got to take that in the micro. in the macro. right.
- 00:11:49.898 --> 00:11:51.432
- We're talking macro.
- 00:11:51.432 --> 00:11:52.867
- You, yes, we all know muslim people that are very kind
- 00:11:52.867 --> 00:11:57.005
- And wonderful and nice,
- 00:11:57.005 --> 00:11:58.339
- But we're talking about on the macro, right? and,
- 00:11:58.339 --> 00:12:00.809
- You know, i would just say the west
- 00:12:01.609 --> 00:12:03.111
- Is engaging in, cultural suicide if we do not get honest
- 00:12:03.111 --> 00:12:07.782
- About this fact. right.
- 00:12:07.782 --> 00:12:09.184
- And this is a christian nation. it was founded by christians.
- 00:12:09.184 --> 00:12:11.820
- Our leaders were far and away,
- 00:12:11.820 --> 00:12:15.089
- Shaped in their turns of
- 00:12:15.623 --> 00:12:17.292
- Phrase is were formed by the pages of scripture.
- 00:12:17.292 --> 00:12:19.727
- This is a christian nation for christian people.
- 00:12:19.727 --> 00:12:21.863
- It doesn't mean we won't have,
- 00:12:21.863 --> 00:12:23.565
- Jewish people or hindu people or buddhist that
- 00:12:23.565 --> 00:12:26.000
- That can be incorporated and assimilated as a part.
- 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:27.802
- But you cannot,
- 00:12:27.802 --> 00:12:29.671
- Just act like a tabula rasa, and everybody's a blank slate,
- 00:12:29.671 --> 00:12:33.608
- And they come in here and it's all going to be hunky dory.
- 00:12:33.608 --> 00:12:35.777
- You have to be honest about the threats.
- 00:12:35.777 --> 00:12:37.579
- And, and i think we, we as i'm grateful
- 00:12:37.579 --> 00:12:40.515
- That president trump and the trump
- 00:12:40.515 --> 00:12:41.749
- Administration is taking that threat seriously,
- 00:12:41.749 --> 00:12:44.352
- The third world,
- 00:12:44.352 --> 00:12:45.987
- Immigration, travel ban, whatever you want to call it,
- 00:12:45.987 --> 00:12:48.590
- I think is a great first step. but we need to go even further.
- 00:12:48.590 --> 00:12:51.359
- Yeah.
- 00:12:51.359 --> 00:12:51.659
- Andrew,
- 00:12:51.659 --> 00:12:52.660
- Well said is always number one. and number two,
- 00:12:52.660 --> 00:12:54.295
- You mentioned america being a christian nation.
- 00:12:54.295 --> 00:12:56.631
- Turning point, charlie, in your work
- 00:12:56.631 --> 00:12:59.267
- Really,
- 00:12:59.267 --> 00:12:59.634
- I believe
- 00:12:59.634 --> 00:13:00.869
- Helping to spur a revival among young people in particular.
- 00:13:00.869 --> 00:13:03.805
- Can you talk about what you're seeing on college campuses,
- 00:13:03.805 --> 00:13:06.107
- Young people turning to christ in incredible numbers?
- 00:13:06.107 --> 00:13:09.177
- Yeah.
- 00:13:09.177 --> 00:13:10.178
- One of the things that i'm most grateful to
- 00:13:10.178 --> 00:13:11.246
- Charlie got to live to see was these, these graphs
- 00:13:11.246 --> 00:13:14.215
- Where you see church attendance down, down, down. yeah.
- 00:13:14.215 --> 00:13:16.651
- And then it starts going up. yeah.
- 00:13:16.651 --> 00:13:19.120
- Charlie saw that.
- 00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:20.421
- And i will tell you that
- 00:13:20.421 --> 00:13:21.489
- That was one of the things
- 00:13:21.489 --> 00:13:22.323
- That made charlie the most excited
- 00:13:22.323 --> 00:13:23.958
- And the most hopeful about the future,
- 00:13:23.958 --> 00:13:26.060
- Because ultimately, we believe that god has a providential hand
- 00:13:26.060 --> 00:13:30.164
- On this nation.
- 00:13:30.164 --> 00:13:30.832
- We believe that without christ
- 00:13:30.832 --> 00:13:32.800
- That we are going to lose our identity as a nation.
- 00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:35.003
- We're going to lose our way.
- 00:13:35.003 --> 00:13:36.371
- I and me for one, i for one, am overjoyed
- 00:13:36.371 --> 00:13:39.440
- When i see catholic pews overflowing.
- 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.242
- Overflowing when baptisms at the calvary chapel is,
- 00:13:41.242 --> 00:13:45.079
- You know, they got a line out the door.
- 00:13:45.079 --> 00:13:46.781
- Whatever it is, i want it all.
- 00:13:46.781 --> 00:13:48.683
- And i and it's like, listen, as long as they're believing in
- 00:13:48.683 --> 00:13:51.352
- Jesus that he is the way, the truth, the life,
- 00:13:51.352 --> 00:13:53.488
- And they're, they're they're reading their scriptures
- 00:13:53.488 --> 00:13:55.523
- And it's improving their marriages and they're,
- 00:13:55.523 --> 00:13:57.825
- They're it's encourage you to have more kids at
- 00:13:57.825 --> 00:13:59.694
- These are the bedrocks of this nation.
- 00:13:59.694 --> 00:14:01.729
- That is the that is the the firewall to freedom is
- 00:14:01.729 --> 00:14:04.399
- Is the nuclear family, the belief in god and jesus christ.
- 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:07.669
- If we can get that right,
- 00:14:07.669 --> 00:14:09.304
- So many things downstream will take care of themselves.
- 00:14:09.304 --> 00:14:11.839
- And so, yeah, charlie's in death.
- 00:14:11.839 --> 00:14:14.075
- You know, this is one of my
- 00:14:14.075 --> 00:14:15.209
- The things i'm most proud about
- 00:14:15.209 --> 00:14:16.577
- For charlie on his behalf and on erica's behalf,
- 00:14:16.577 --> 00:14:19.314
- Is that when he was assassinated,
- 00:14:19.314 --> 00:14:20.915
- We didn't see looting.
- 00:14:20.915 --> 00:14:21.816
- We didn't see burning of buildings.
- 00:14:21.816 --> 00:14:23.151
- We didn't see, buildings on fire.
- 00:14:23.151 --> 00:14:25.153
- We saw prayer vigils. we saw candles lit.
- 00:14:25.153 --> 00:14:27.522
- We saw revival. we saw the memorial.
- 00:14:27.522 --> 00:14:29.824
- And i believe that the spirit of god is moving
- 00:14:29.824 --> 00:14:32.093
- Powerfully through the country right now.
- 00:14:32.093 --> 00:14:33.494
- And i believe that some of the
- 00:14:33.494 --> 00:14:34.796
- Some of the pushback is just the reaction to the
- 00:14:34.796 --> 00:14:38.433
- The goodness of god, the holy spirit
- 00:14:38.433 --> 00:14:39.968
- Being unleashed on this country.
- 00:14:39.968 --> 00:14:41.569
- And i believe that we again,
- 00:14:41.569 --> 00:14:42.770
- We will not understand or be able to quantify
- 00:14:42.770 --> 00:14:46.074
- The true impact and spread and the ripples
- 00:14:46.074 --> 00:14:48.142
- That have filtered all throughout the world.
- 00:14:48.142 --> 00:14:50.044
- By the way of what happened when charlie was martyred.
- 00:14:50.044 --> 00:14:53.047
- And and just one note on that, i got a call from a pastor
- 00:14:53.047 --> 00:14:55.950
- Friend who's doing evangelism pakistan
- 00:14:55.950 --> 00:14:58.152
- Is that as soon as charlie,
- 00:14:58.152 --> 00:14:59.954
- Was assassinated,
- 00:14:59.954 --> 00:15:01.356
- That young people that he was working
- 00:15:01.356 --> 00:15:02.757
- With doing street evangelism, they were like lions.
- 00:15:02.757 --> 00:15:05.226
- They were they before
- 00:15:05.226 --> 00:15:06.361
- They were timid and afraid that they're going
- 00:15:06.361 --> 00:15:07.729
- To get arrested in pakistan and, you know, of all places.
- 00:15:07.729 --> 00:15:10.098
- And they just went out the streets and started, you know,
- 00:15:10.098 --> 00:15:13.401
- Winning new, hearts and souls for, for christ in pakistan.
- 00:15:13.401 --> 00:15:17.338
- And i got to believe that we're seeing
- 00:15:17.338 --> 00:15:18.740
- That all across the world.
- 00:15:18.740 --> 00:15:20.008
- Yeah, it's all about faith, family and freedom.
- 00:15:20.008 --> 00:15:22.510
- Those three fs that build america. and julian
- 00:15:22.510 --> 00:15:25.713
- Coming up from here at
- 00:15:26.180 --> 00:15:27.148
- Am fest 2025, more on that revival.
- 00:15:27.148 --> 00:15:30.218
- We see sweeping throughout college campuses throughout
- 00:15:30.218 --> 00:15:33.588
- Generation z, exciting things happening
- 00:15:33.588 --> 00:15:36.624
- And also exciting things happening in washington, dc.
- 00:15:36.624 --> 00:15:40.094
- Why does strong leadership
- 00:15:40.094 --> 00:15:42.196
- Make such a difference at this pivotal point in history
- 00:15:42.196 --> 00:15:45.333
- That we are living through right now?
- 00:15:45.333 --> 00:15:46.968
- More with andrew kolbert after the break.
- 00:15:46.968 --> 00:15:49.404
- Don't move.
- 00:15:49.404 --> 00:15:54.004
- Don't move.
- 00:15:54.004 --> 00:15:56.111
- And we're locked in a spiritual battle, i believe, of charlie.
- 00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:00.082
- Charlie's martyrdom was part of that.
- 00:16:00.082 --> 00:16:02.651
- He talked about how
- 00:16:02.651 --> 00:16:03.685
- That's manifesting itself on college campuses.
- 00:16:03.685 --> 00:16:06.388
- The battle is tough, the turning point obviously spreading,
- 00:16:06.388 --> 00:16:09.725
- Establishing chapters on campuses nationwide,
- 00:16:09.725 --> 00:16:12.127
- Getting pushback, of course. talk about that.
- 00:16:12.127 --> 00:16:14.830
- It's a spiritual battle ultimately unfolding
- 00:16:14.830 --> 00:16:17.299
- For for the hearts and minds
- 00:16:17.299 --> 00:16:19.001
- Of our young people today on campus.
- 00:16:19.001 --> 00:16:21.070
- Yeah.
- 00:16:21.070 --> 00:16:22.104
- I mean, charlie always believed in turning point
- 00:16:22.104 --> 00:16:23.138
- Continues to believe that we are job.
- 00:16:23.138 --> 00:16:25.307
- Fundamentally, we're not a think tank. we're a battle tank.
- 00:16:25.307 --> 00:16:27.609
- We go into the dark corners
- 00:16:27.609 --> 00:16:29.645
- Of this country and we take back ground.
- 00:16:29.645 --> 00:16:31.880
- And that means college campus.
- 00:16:31.880 --> 00:16:33.749
- And so we have to go where its heart is.
- 00:16:33.749 --> 00:16:36.418
- They're not going to pull back from the college tours.
- 00:16:36.418 --> 00:16:38.554
- They're not going to pull back from visiting campus.
- 00:16:38.554 --> 00:16:41.056
- Yeah, it's going to be a team effort now.
- 00:16:41.056 --> 00:16:42.758
- More so charlie carried a lot of that burden.
- 00:16:42.758 --> 00:16:44.626
- We're going to have friends that come in and help us with that.
- 00:16:44.626 --> 00:16:47.029
- We're going to make sure debates are happening on campus.
- 00:16:47.029 --> 00:16:49.765
- But you have to go into the belly of the beast.
- 00:16:49.765 --> 00:16:51.633
- Sometimes you want to take your country back.
- 00:16:51.633 --> 00:16:53.702
- And as a matter of fact, i don't think there's
- 00:16:53.702 --> 00:16:55.037
- An alternative. there's no other way to do it.
- 00:16:55.037 --> 00:16:57.039
- And so you have to go exactly where they don't want you.
- 00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:59.041
- Sometimes you saw that in berkeley and we had antifa,
- 00:16:59.041 --> 00:17:01.844
- Come out and, by the hundreds to kind of threaten us.
- 00:17:01.844 --> 00:17:04.880
- Well, that that can't ever be allowed to dissuade us or,
- 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:08.584
- Hold us back.
- 00:17:08.951 --> 00:17:09.885
- And what happened with charlie?
- 00:17:09.885 --> 00:17:11.286
- I will tell you, the whole team.
- 00:17:11.286 --> 00:17:13.388
- That's why we went right back
- 00:17:13.388 --> 00:17:14.756
- To the campus tours, because we knew.
- 00:17:14.756 --> 00:17:16.925
- Yeah, you guys didn't skip a beat.
- 00:17:16.925 --> 00:17:18.060
- He had to keep going.
- 00:17:18.060 --> 00:17:19.828
- And i just want to pause there for a second.
- 00:17:19.828 --> 00:17:22.064
- You had a team that was
- 00:17:22.064 --> 00:17:23.499
- Devastated and shell shocked by what happened to charlie.
- 00:17:24.633 --> 00:17:27.369
- We all knew charlie would not want us to stop
- 00:17:27.369 --> 00:17:29.538
- Doing what we were doing.
- 00:17:29.538 --> 00:17:30.539
- So we went straight back out there.
- 00:17:30.539 --> 00:17:32.341
- We went right back in, and we made sure that,
- 00:17:32.341 --> 00:17:35.210
- You know, that that charlie, that
- 00:17:35.210 --> 00:17:37.479
- Charlie's death would not be in vain. yeah.
- 00:17:37.479 --> 00:17:39.381
- And we have to continue that.
- 00:17:39.381 --> 00:17:40.549
- And we do see that spiritual battle
- 00:17:40.549 --> 00:17:42.751
- That that is, it's
- 00:17:42.751 --> 00:17:44.186
- Wrestling for the hearts of the next generation.
- 00:17:44.186 --> 00:17:46.288
- It's wrestling for the hearts of the next generation,
- 00:17:46.288 --> 00:17:48.257
- Probably more than anything else.
- 00:17:48.257 --> 00:17:49.725
- That is, if if you work with the enemy,
- 00:17:49.725 --> 00:17:52.528
- That's exactly where you would go.
- 00:17:52.528 --> 00:17:53.929
- And so we have to make sure that light
- 00:17:53.929 --> 00:17:55.464
- Is countering darkness in those corners of our country.
- 00:17:55.464 --> 00:17:58.000
- Yeah.
- 00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:58.600
- How big of an impact
- 00:17:58.600 --> 00:17:59.701
- Has president trump had obviously a turning point
- 00:17:59.701 --> 00:18:01.970
- Great relationship with the president.
- 00:18:01.970 --> 00:18:03.405
- How big of an impact has his leadership
- 00:18:03.405 --> 00:18:05.274
- And i look across the western world
- 00:18:05.274 --> 00:18:07.743
- I see him as sort of a chamberlain
- 00:18:07.743 --> 00:18:10.212
- Or i should say churchill in the sea of chamberlain's
- 00:18:10.212 --> 00:18:13.215
- Peace through strength is back.
- 00:18:13.215 --> 00:18:14.950
- Talk about the difference his leadership has made, in
- 00:18:14.950 --> 00:18:19.054
- Giving america a sense of strength
- 00:18:19.054 --> 00:18:20.989
- Again, of national pride.
- 00:18:20.989 --> 00:18:22.324
- We never lost individually,
- 00:18:22.324 --> 00:18:23.926
- But he's really bringing america back in a serious way.
- 00:18:23.926 --> 00:18:26.728
- And in less than a year in office, pretty.
- 00:18:26.728 --> 00:18:29.131
- When you take a step back.
- 00:18:29.131 --> 00:18:30.132
- Yeah, there's infighting and there's some
- 00:18:30.132 --> 00:18:31.967
- Some peaks and valleys.
- 00:18:31.967 --> 00:18:32.935
- But when you take a step back and survey
- 00:18:32.935 --> 00:18:34.736
- The scene,
- 00:18:34.736 --> 00:18:35.938
- It's been a pretty incredible first year back in office.
- 00:18:35.938 --> 00:18:38.674
- Yeah.
- 00:18:38.674 --> 00:18:39.641
- I mean, there's going to be a part of the base
- 00:18:39.641 --> 00:18:40.809
- That, you know, isn't going to be happy.
- 00:18:40.809 --> 00:18:42.544
- It's never satisfied.
- 00:18:42.544 --> 00:18:43.312
- It's never going to be happy
- 00:18:43.312 --> 00:18:44.313
- Until anthony fauci is like, you know, right.
- 00:18:44.313 --> 00:18:46.682
- Strung up in the village square or something.
- 00:18:46.682 --> 00:18:48.650
- I mean,
- 00:18:48.650 --> 00:18:49.885
- And maybe that's not the right way to put it, but it's like,
- 00:18:49.885 --> 00:18:51.053
- Oh, that's not going to happen.
- 00:18:51.053 --> 00:18:52.154
- Yeah.
- 00:18:52.154 --> 00:18:53.088
- So, so let's look at what is reasonable.
- 00:18:53.088 --> 00:18:55.324
- A border is secure.
- 00:18:55.324 --> 00:18:57.226
- Inflation is down. real wages are up.
- 00:18:57.226 --> 00:19:00.062
- We've got this third world immigration moratorium
- 00:19:00.062 --> 00:19:02.698
- Which i think is truly important.
- 00:19:02.698 --> 00:19:04.566
- Very important. that is enough.
- 00:19:04.566 --> 00:19:06.468
- You've got peace all throughout the world. yeah.
- 00:19:06.468 --> 00:19:08.403
- It's still working on ukraine and russia. that's a tricky one.
- 00:19:08.403 --> 00:19:10.872
- You've got, law enforcement actually going into these towns
- 00:19:10.872 --> 00:19:14.509
- And actually putting out a presence of law and order
- 00:19:14.509 --> 00:19:17.846
- In chicago, in dc, in new orleans and charlotte.
- 00:19:17.846 --> 00:19:21.850
- Can i sit.
- 00:19:21.850 --> 00:19:22.985
- La? yeah, we're portland and we're not backing down.
- 00:19:22.985 --> 00:19:25.520
- Yeah, yeah. could could there be more.
- 00:19:25.520 --> 00:19:27.656
- Are we getting foreign at every turn by
- 00:19:27.656 --> 00:19:30.726
- By judges and, woke city, politicians.
- 00:19:30.726 --> 00:19:34.363
- Yeah. mayors. yeah.
- 00:19:34.363 --> 00:19:35.197
- Of course there will be pushback.
- 00:19:35.197 --> 00:19:37.499
- And i think there is a portion of the base.
- 00:19:37.499 --> 00:19:39.468
- It's like, well, just go arrest, arrest
- 00:19:39.468 --> 00:19:41.770
- All these mayors and go do this and that.
- 00:19:41.770 --> 00:19:43.238
- Yeah, you have to you have to.
- 00:19:43.238 --> 00:19:45.040
- Politics is the art of the process.
- 00:19:45.040 --> 00:19:46.275
- Had me some tact.
- 00:19:46.275 --> 00:19:47.476
- Gonna be some tact.
- 00:19:47.476 --> 00:19:48.443
- And by the way, you've got to make sure that
- 00:19:48.443 --> 00:19:50.345
- That you're messaging the right way.
- 00:19:50.345 --> 00:19:52.481
- I love that, you know,
- 00:19:52.481 --> 00:19:53.949
- There was a lot of polling that came out,
- 00:19:53.949 --> 00:19:56.051
- Just a few months ago that we were not focused
- 00:19:56.051 --> 00:19:57.819
- Enough on domestic policy.
- 00:19:57.819 --> 00:19:59.388
- Well, the administration heard that. i can assure you
- 00:19:59.388 --> 00:20:01.790
- They heard that, and they're tackling it,
- 00:20:01.790 --> 00:20:04.159
- Head on.
- 00:20:04.426 --> 00:20:05.327
- You know, charlie was big on this gen
- 00:20:05.327 --> 00:20:06.695
- Z economic moonshot where we built
- 00:20:06.695 --> 00:20:08.997
- 10 million new homes, we blocked foreign buyers
- 00:20:08.997 --> 00:20:11.400
- Institutional money, and we create creative ideas
- 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:14.069
- For how young people can maybe write off the entire mortgage.
- 00:20:14.069 --> 00:20:17.739
- You know, whatever the idea is, let's throw it on the wall.
- 00:20:17.739 --> 00:20:20.108
- Make sure that we're
- 00:20:20.108 --> 00:20:21.443
- Restoring the social compact with the next generation.
- 00:20:21.443 --> 00:20:24.179
- But the key is that if you can imagine
- 00:20:24.179 --> 00:20:28.517
- The difference
- 00:20:28.517 --> 00:20:29.618
- That this administration has made in the country
- 00:20:29.618 --> 00:20:31.586
- Where we were one year ago,
- 00:20:31.586 --> 00:20:33.388
- And you imagine where kamala would have taken it,
- 00:20:33.388 --> 00:20:35.857
- That there is no comparison and they deserve a lot of credit.
- 00:20:35.857 --> 00:20:39.161
- Obviously, there's always going to be
- 00:20:39.161 --> 00:20:40.329
- Criticisms and things that you wish
- 00:20:40.329 --> 00:20:41.630
- They would do this way or that way.
- 00:20:41.630 --> 00:20:42.964
- But but i am pinching myself and overjoyed most days
- 00:20:42.964 --> 00:20:47.069
- That we have this administration.
- 00:20:47.069 --> 00:20:48.570
- Andrew agreed.
- 00:20:48.570 --> 00:20:49.604
- Look, once again, the leader of the free world
- 00:20:49.604 --> 00:20:51.340
- Is the standard bearer for judeo
- 00:20:51.340 --> 00:20:53.208
- Christian western civilization.
- 00:20:53.208 --> 00:20:54.776
- He's the bodyguard of western civilization.
- 00:20:54.776 --> 00:20:56.611
- Charlie said that actually at the 2020,
- 00:20:56.611 --> 00:20:59.915
- Rnc and it's so true.
- 00:21:00.415 --> 00:21:01.950
- He's the bodyguard of western civilization.
- 00:21:01.950 --> 00:21:04.419
- And what it is, is it
- 00:21:04.419 --> 00:21:06.655
- The fulcrum is one thing, as far as i can tell.
- 00:21:06.655 --> 00:21:09.491
- Do you love your culture? do you love your heritage?
- 00:21:09.491 --> 00:21:11.727
- Are you proud of who you are as a country?
- 00:21:11.727 --> 00:21:13.929
- It's the answer's yes.
- 00:21:13.929 --> 00:21:15.230
- You will do everything in your power
- 00:21:15.230 --> 00:21:17.232
- To protect what you have, to protect what you have inherited.
- 00:21:17.232 --> 00:21:19.901
- If you are, if you are not proud of yourself,
- 00:21:19.901 --> 00:21:22.637
- Then you will hate yourself.
- 00:21:22.637 --> 00:21:23.739
- You will try and transform yourself,
- 00:21:23.739 --> 00:21:25.307
- Whether that's through demographic change or,
- 00:21:25.307 --> 00:21:27.709
- Culturally in the schools and indoctrinate your students.
- 00:21:27.709 --> 00:21:30.011
- And that is essentially the main fulcrum upon which
- 00:21:30.011 --> 00:21:32.781
- Everything will pivot and twist in the next 20 years.
- 00:21:32.781 --> 00:21:36.351
- So we want to make sure that young people love this country.
- 00:21:36.351 --> 00:21:38.820
- And that's that's the key.

- 00:21:44.459 --> 00:21:47.229
- The executive producer for the charlie kirk show,

- 00:21:59.841 --> 00:22:01.610
- Of course, across social media
- 00:22:01.610 --> 00:22:03.678

- Welcome back to stakelbecktonight, folks.
- 00:22:22.665 --> 00:22:24.500
- We are wrapping up from the annual
- 00:22:24.500 --> 00:22:25.902
- Am fest in phoenix, arizona.
- 00:22:25.902 --> 00:22:27.737
- What a great event, by the way, to hear the gospel proclaimed
- 00:22:27.737 --> 00:22:30.840
- By speaker after speaker.
- 00:22:30.840 --> 00:22:32.909
- It's resonating with the many young people here, generation
- 00:22:32.909 --> 00:22:35.912
- Z, exciting things happening, and yet the wolves are
- 00:22:35.912 --> 00:22:39.849
- At the door here in america as well.
- 00:22:39.849 --> 00:22:42.018
- I think of the book of deuteronomy, chapter 11.
- 00:22:42.018 --> 00:22:44.654
- God laid before ancient israel the choice of either
- 00:22:44.654 --> 00:22:48.090
- Blessings or curses, which way will we choose?
- 00:22:48.090 --> 00:22:52.462
- Either we choose
- 00:22:52.462 --> 00:22:53.563
- Jesus, paid family and freedom, or we choose oblivion.
- 00:22:53.563 --> 00:22:57.467
- There's really no in between.
- 00:22:57.467 --> 00:22:59.168
- And charlie kirk, the founder of this great organization
- 00:22:59.168 --> 00:23:02.038
- And this annual event, made that point very clear in his life.
- 00:23:02.038 --> 00:23:05.908
- Thankfully, his legacy lives on.
- 00:23:05.908 --> 00:23:08.711
