steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		At 959 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, of course, uh the first tower came down uh twenty-four years ago today.
		It is Thursday, 11 September, the year of the Lord 2025.
		Uh there's obviously a lot going on today uh at the Pentagon.
		President Trump just had a very uh moving um uh remarks about nine-eleven about the Pentagon hit, but also added uh Charlie Kirk.
		We're live from Utah today.
		Uh Andrew Covet is gonna join us.
		We go and get Andrew Andrews here with us.
		We'll get him set up.
		Let's cut two.
		Let's play President Trump at the Pentagon when we get to the presentation.
		Please let us go live to President Trump.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Just hang on.
		He wheeled the lieutenant out of the wreckage on the back of a maintenance card before getting in the ambulance and taking him to Walter Reed Hospital.
		That man, Steve saved Lieutenant Kevin Schaefer.
		Went on to join the elite team of CIA operatives who located Osama Bin Laden.
		Steve, you're an American hero.
		We appreciate it.
		We appreciate what you've gone through.
		Please stand.
		Please stand.
unidentified		Well are you?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Oh, good looking man.
		You're a good looking guy.
		You remember that day.
		You remember that day.
		Good.
		Thank you very much, Steve.
		That was something.
		That was something.
		In the years that followed America's Warriors Avenger, fallen and sent an unmistakable message to every enemy around the world.
		If you attack the United States of America, we will hunt you down and we will find you.
		Go all over this sometimes magnificent earth.
		We will crush you without mercy, and we will triumph without question.
		That's why we named the former Department of Defense, the Department of War.
		It will be different.
		We won the First World War.
		We won the second world war.
		We won everything before that and in between.
		And then we decided to change the name.
		Well, now we have it back to where we all want it.
		Everybody wanted it.
		Everybody is so happy to have it back.
		You will fail, and America will win-win-win.
		The enemy will always fail.
		Twenty-four years have passed since that Tuesday morning in September, and an entire generation of Americans have come of age in a totally different world.
		While they cannot remember the agony of that day, they are carrying on the legacy of those who lost.
		Around 8:30 a.m. on the morning of the attacks, Army Lieutenant Colonel Kip Taylor sent an email to his friends and family describing the joys of fatherhood and his excitement for the upcoming birth of his unborn son.
		He wrote, After you have kids, there are days that you just get going and you say, Hi, honey, I'm home.
		What we do until that moment pales in comparison.
		But just that little statement, hi, honey, so American, so beautiful.
		But that's really the point of it all, isn't it?
		An hour after he sent that email, Flight 77 flew into Colonel Taylor's Pentagon office and claimed the life of a very proud father and true patriot.
		Six weeks later, on October 25th, 2001, Colonel Taylor's son, Luke was born.
		Luke then tragically lost his mom to cancer when he was just two years old, leaving him to be raised by his father's brother.
		As a young boy, Luke asked his uncle about the folded flag on the bookshelf, and when he learned about his dad's decades of devotion to the Army and the horrors of September 11th.
		That's when he learned.
		Luke carried that memory with him and joined the ROTC as a college freshman.
		He graduated just last year, and I'm pleased to say he is with us today as a second lieutenant and doing very well.
		He's rising quickly in the infantry, preparing for Army Ranger School.
		Luke says that every time he puts on a uniform, he feels connected to his father and to our country.
		But it was a father he never knew.
		Luke, your parents are together in heaven, and they could not be prouder of the man that they have produced.
		They produced you.
		Those two great people produced you.
		Luke, please stand.
unidentified		Thank you.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
		You look good, Luke.
		You look good.
		They're looking down on you.
		They're very proud.
		This morning we recall the light of America's best and bravest and the love that they showed in their final moments.
		In their memory, we make a solemn pledge and a noble promise.
		We will honor always our great heroes.
		And you are our heroes.
		There's a group of people that don't want to talk about our heroes, but we will always talk about our heroes, and that's the way our country is, and that's the way the people feel.
		We will defend the nation they served, the values they upheld, and the freedom for which they died.
		We will support our troops, we will Protect our families and we will preserve the American way of life for every future generation.
		We will build taller, grow stronger, fight harder, and soar higher.
		And together we will go forward as one people with one heart, one fate, one flag, and one glorious destiny under Almighty God.
		May God bless the memories of those who died and the heroes who fought and the soldiers who still stand watch.
		May God bless the United States of America.
		Thank you very much.
		Thank you.
unidentified		thank you Ladies and gentlemen, please remain standing for the singing of God Bless America and remain standing for the benediction.
		God bless America, land and my love.
		Stand beside her and guide her to the light with the light of the heart.
		From the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans, I perform.
		God bless America, my home sweet home, sweet home.
		God bless America, my home sweet home.
		God bless America, my home sweet home.
		God bless America.
		God bless America.
		Let us pray.
		Almighty and merciful God, gratefully we acknowledge your presence with us this morning and implore your presence day by day.
		Grant peace for those who grieve, wisdom for those who lead, encourage for those standing the watch for our nation.
		We implore your blessing, not asking you to conform to our will, but that you would align us with yours.
		May the Lord make his face shine upon us and be gracious unto us.
		May the Lord lift up his countenance upon us and give us peace.
		Amen.
		Amen.
		Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's ceremony.
		Please remain seated until the departure of the official party.
		Thank you for joining us this morning.
		the pentagon memorial and the pentagon memorial chapel are open until 12 p.m President Trump is exiting the Pentagon for the very solemn commemoration, Pete Hexeth.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		We're going to, in a moment, call for the beginning of that, where President Trump said very moving remarks about Charlie Kirk.
		I'm here in Utah with Andrew Colvett, Charlie Kirk's partner, and particularly on the content side.
		First off, can you get us up to date?
		How's everything doing?
		How's everybody holding together?
unidentified		Sure.
unidentified		You know, I think as good as could be expected, as well as could be expected.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		You know, yesterday was a day that you know none of us ever wanted to live through or experience and it was a horror and a nightmare.
		Um, at the same time I didn't, you know, I got when when the team told me that um you guys wanted me on the show this morning.
		I candidly didn't want to do it, but um I knew Charlie would want me to be here.
		And I could hear his voice in my head being like, you know, toughen up, you know, better figure it out.
		You can handle this.
		And um, and so yeah, I mean, we're gonna, you know, just like before, we're gonna do things that uh push us and we're comfortable with, but um that he would want us to do, so um and um, you know, we're gonna take his spirit on and keep fighting and keep pushing and um yeah, but um it's still raw, you know.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		It's it's a organization that's uh changed the direction of the country in American politics, but it's a very young organization with young people.
		I mean, Charlie was young, and and and the thing about Charlie, he was a happy warrior, right?
		No matter how intense it was always.
		Uh how how is the organization doing?
		You you have so many young people there, right?
		It's I mean, Charlie started this thing when he was what, eighteen, nineteen, eighteen, nineteen years old.
		How's the overall team doing?
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		You know, um I think the everybody's still in shock.
		Um I think um, you know, we we held a prayer vigil at the HQ last night, and it was beautiful.
		There was outpourings of support from across the country.
		Um vigils popped up in random places, and that was amazing to see.
		And I think controls all over the world.
		All over the world, yeah.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Um huge, spontaneous.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		Spontaneous.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Self-organizing.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		And um as Charlie would love.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		Right.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		I mean, that was his whole thing.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and um Yeah, I mean, listen, a lot of uh the senior leadership came straight here immediately.
		Um there's a few senior leadership that are still in Phoenix.
		And um listen, we're one of Charlie's I mean, absolute cries of his heart, and something I heard him say repeatedly was that we're building an institution that's gonna live beyond me.
		And he said that over and over and over again.
		Obviously, he is re uh irreplaceable and one of one.
		Um, but I know that's what he'd want.
		And um already the outpouring of support from donors and supporters and friends um that want to keep the mission going and they want um Charlie's uh legacy, part of that legacy to be that it doesn't end with him.
		And um I think that's something that we are very committed to.
		And um there's you know, it's just a lot to there's a lot to still just process.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		He picked you guys for a reason.
		I mean, you've got uh you and Tyler and the senior team, uh, you know, he was building an institution just that would live, you know, because Stacy.
		Hey, Charlie, I told Charlie all the time he was a future president of the United States at some point in time he was gonna go into elective politics, right?
		Therefore he would the institution would survive him as he went on and did other, you know, either ran for governor of Arizona or ran for the US Senate uh or you know, was picked as a vice presidential candidate, right?
		So the ins he was building an institution the entire time, knowing that his future wasn't always gonna be turning point.
		He would turning point would stand on its own at some point in time.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean that's true.
		Um obviously we uh anticipated um Charlie being with Turning Point a lot longer and sort of always being there, whether it was emeritus, you know, uh or not.
		But um, you know, I I know um what you're saying is true, you know.
		Um my my wife um just this morning before I left to come here said the same thing.
		It's like God has put you guys in this position for such a time as this and for a purpose and a reason, and he knew what he was doing, and I believed that.
		And um, you know, uh I think right now we still have some mourning and grieving, obviously, to do and um but yeah, I mean Charlie the the if if we wanted to disgrace the the legacy of Charlie Kirk, it would be not carrying on his mission.
		And that is not an option.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		No, he was a fighter.
		I f I mean his life ended right there when he's doing What he loved to do, right?
		Debate.
		Let's play.
		Can we play?
		I want to play President Trump's remarks about Charlie at the beginning of the Pentagon commemoration for 9-11.
		Can we go and play that?
		And I want to get I want to get the feedback from Andrew.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Before we begin, let me express the horror and grief.
		So many Americans at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk have felt.
		Charlie was a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty and an inspiration to millions and millions of people.
		Our prayers are with his wonderful wife, Eric, and his beautiful children.
		and Fantastic people they are.
		We miss him greatly, yet I have no doubt that Charlie's voice and the courage he put into the hearts of countless people, especially young people, will live on.
		I'm pleased to announce that I will soon be awarding Charlie Kirk posthumously the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
		The date of the ceremony will be announced and I can only guarantee you one thing that we will have a very big crowd.
		Very, very big.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		So Charlie posthumously awarded by the president the uh Medal of Freedom.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Uh that's a pretty powerful statement by the President of the United States.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Um, um I'm reminding me uh of so many conversations um where I would ask Charlie, well, you know, what did the president say?
		You know, what is and and uh so many times his answer is like you you know, people just don't understand.
		Like we're actually friends.
		Like we're good friends.
		And he loved him.
		And I know Trump loved Charlie.
		And um it wasn't transactional.
		And Steve, you know this.
		Um Charlie was loyal to a fault.
		And um, you know, I'd see the people on online uh, you know, criticizing if they if Trump did something they disagreed with and and Charlie wasn't loud enough, you know, against it.
		And people just didn't understand Charlie was loyal.
		He was fundamentally good and decent.
		And anybody who knew him intimately knew that he was overly loyal, overly generous, overly decent, impatient, um and so many people that um you know uh maybe didn't treat him the way they should have.
		Charlie would never return like for like, and he really saw his role as keeping the coalition together that Trump built in 2024 and that turning point played a huge role, and Charlie played a huge role, and you played a huge role, Steve.
		And uh keeping that coalition together um because he didn't see this as a a four-year win, he saw it as as a generational win as a sixty-year win that he wanted to build upon for the sake of his kids and uh this country.
		And um, you know, uh I think um I can hear it in the president's voice this morning um that uh he lost a friend, as we all did, and um I think it's a great honor.
		I know Charlie is honored, and his wife is honored, Erica, and it's well deserved.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Um we're gonna juggle coverage between uh the traditional 9-11 coverage and of course the assassination of uh of Charlie Kirk.
		Charlie the man, particularly people that may have not had a chance to go to the turning point events or see trying.
		What always impressed me the most was not simply the hard work or the pressures under because he was dealing at the highest level and building this organization.
		I call him the happy warrior.
		was never down, totally up, no matter what the circumstances was.
		He'd always say, we'll figure it out, right?
		These very complex events.
		And then, of course, the ground game, which you guys delivered Arizona and Pennsylvania, right?
		Besides helping in Georgia and Michigan and Wisconsin, two states that put Trump over the top.
		Talk to us about Charlie the man, particularly as this positive energy that was always out there, because obviously the left-wing media is, you know, accusing Charlie of hate speech and being divisive.
		He was anything really but divisive.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		No, I mean for people who really know.
		I mean, the clips that go viral, it's just the internet doing the internet, what the internet does, you know, where where it gets you know lively.
		And Charlie understood That dynamic.
		I mean, he but as he got older, these campus debates especially turned into big brother teaching.
		Yeah, and and 90% of the interactions.
		If you go back and look, it 90% of the interactions, he was so soft and gentle and patient with these people.
		And the people that really understood what you're doing.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		You're trying to teach.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		Yes, he would be.
		Yes, exactly.
		He became such more much more of a big brother figure, um, or role model figure.
		And um, you know, Charlie, some of my my favorite moments with Charlie was just flying on planes late at night, you know, across the country, darting all over the place during the campaign or whatever, and um, you know, the weight of the world really was on his shoulders, and here we are joking at you know,
		35,000 feet um and having just a blast, and um the the Charlie was funny, he was really funny, and he never you know that's not part of what people think about Charlie, he was hilarious.
		Um, and he was he had this uncle uncanny ability, Steve, to think about others like more I and I told my wife this last night.
		I said he thought about me and like my travel or my family or how he could make my life better, or if he could help me out in some way or get me a hotel more than I thought about me.
		And he would be like, Hey, does you do is your wife, you know, is she set up?
		Did you do you do you need us to do something for her?
		Like, let me know.
		And he would just constantly do that, and I would be thinking this guy has his schedule so tightly backed, like a Tetris, you know, board, and yet somehow he made space in his brain to worry about me.
		And I knew that he was doing that for literally hundreds of people almost every day.
		And uh, I don't know how he did it.
		Um, but it's truly remarkable.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Let's talk about let's talk about that again.
		And the content and and uh and uh building organization, and particularly something he focused on ballot chasing a ground game, given the experiences we had.
		The last weekend of his life, he spent with Mina Kim, uh in the and the folks in Korea, that tremendous conference.
		You guys have done tremendous work there with Grace Chung and um and Tyler by Zoom.
		Yeah, okay.
		Um the the let's bring in title Bory.
		We'll give this a second.
		Tyler Borrier joins us now.
		Uh Charlie's um head of kind of the political operation.
		Uh Tyler, uh your memories of of Charlie, particularly the upbeat nature and the positive energy he put in everything.
tyler bowyer ▲ ● ▼		Yes, Steve, thank you for having us.
		And and I, you know, I I just echo everything that Andrew said is we have been in just a constant state of of mourning here, but as we're going through all this, what you said is that him being a happy warrior was the front face for what Charlie Kirk is and what continues on.
		And you know, we're out fighting a battle every single day, and this is part of that battle.
		Uh that I know everybody's waking up to this morning, and you know, they've you know like a lot like me, probably didn't get a whole lot of sleep, but you're going through and you're looking at the legacy of Charlie Kirk and who he is, and the man that that he led the organization with,
		and you know, you start to just to break down what the next steps are here, and there's a lot of emotions that I think a lot of people are feeling right now.
		And you know, there's a sense of patriotism.
		I think that comes in moments like these.
		And that's that's a good thing.
		That's that's a that's a great thing.
		I I'm telling people right now, the anger, those feelings that you're feeling uh must turn to activism, turn into activism.
		Uh that's what Charlie would want.
		And you know, being a person like me or Andrew, who's has had like a front row seat to the Charlie Kirk show, you know, in a bigger sense, not the say a little S on big S from the the capitalization of the show.
		But being around Charlie and seeing how he operates and uh building things every single day.
		I don't think people realize every single day the plan of waking up is what are we building next?
		What are we doing next?
		What is the next step?
		What is what is the country need uh to essentially survive?
		And and that's why it's just you know, it's been such a a pleasure, uh such an honor of a lifetime to be able to be Part of that, uh, because without many of those things, we wouldn't be where we are today in the movement.
		And and I I know you know you feel that way, and but it wasn't a mistake by any means that we are we are where we are with with young people with the party with everything.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		So why don't you I'm we're gonna cut it in about sixty seconds to uh the second tower falling as we traditionally do, but and I want to come back and talk about he was building an institution.
		He had you were putting up amazing amount of content every day.
		Tyler is one of the key architects of Trump's victory in 24 with the ground game and ballot chasing, which as a learning organization, you learned yourself the importance of that in the Carrie Lake race.
		And you know, I remember Charlie saying in Tyler, that'll never happen again, right?
		And and and it it manifested itself in the victory in 2020.
		Okay, let's go to New York.
		We're gonna go to New York right now for the second tower.
robert bohls ▲ ● ▼		There you go.

		Thank you.
		Griselda E. James.
		Mark Stephen Jardine.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Amy, Nicole, Harlow that um anyone of age can remember of 24 years ago, of course, the attack on the United States by radical Islam that was brought to the United States on that day, another uh horrible day yesterday, and today the emotions are very raw.
		And look, Charlie Kirk was assassinated in cold blood.
		Charlie Kirk was executed.
		Uh we're gonna get to the bottom of that, right?
		And you know, that'll be dealt with when it's gotta be dealt with.
		But the work of Charlie Kirk, particularly the three things of building the institution, which was so powerful, really telling everybody I can change with this institution, the arc of uh uh where young people's perception of politics and engagement in politics and volunteering in politics, and therefore the arc of the nation, which he did.
		This is what 2024 was.
		You two guys are the two key guys, you on the content side more or less, and Tyler on the political side.
		And what I always impressed me about you guys and Charlie, you he created a learning institution.
		I remember you go coming on the show the all night in the wee hours of the morning, Carrie Lake, this this county's coming in, this district's coming in, and and I remember Tyler and Charlie and you guys afterwards.
		Okay, we've learned a lesson here, and it's never gonna happen again.
		And we will build an organization to the fact that Tyler and look, if it was not been for turning point, your guys focus on getting the kids out for particularly ballot chasing low propensity, low information voters.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		There's uh I uh I totally agree.
		We were we were la laughing yesterday like that uh Charlie would have been upset that we weren't streaming last night.
		Um Charlie Charlie would have wanted us to do it.
		That's partly why I'm here this morning.
		Um, you know, I couldn't help but think, and I hope this isn't you know too bold of me to say, but watching the second tower uh commemoration, I feel like you know, America just lost a third tower of a man uh yesterday.
		And um we're gonna miss him.
		But um, but we built an institution, he built an institution um designed to stand the test of time and to be able to ride out these uh these waves and the different iterations of our political environment and the different generations to come behind.
		And so um, and I do, I can just tell you, there is the outpouring of love and support, blowing me away some of these texts I'm getting.
		And so, yeah, those three prongs.
		I mean, he he did build a learning institution.
		We were taking education into the universities that the universities weren't doing.
		And there was such a hunger and a thirst on these campuses from these kids to see that that that combat of ideas and the back and forth, and to hear people say something unapologetic about what they believed and they stood by it and they could defend it.
		And um, and that piece, Steve.
		I mean, we there's a uh a polster, Mitchell Brown is one of the Trump polls signal.
		He did a uh a poll after the election, and basically, if you extrapolate it out, it was 16 or 17 million young people were more likely to vote for Trump um across the country because of the content that Charlie Kirk made on these college campuses.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Uh President Trump awarded posthumously Charlie Kirk the presidential medal of freedom, which is the highest civilian honor uh that one could get.
		He's also announced he was going to give one to Rudy Giuliani the mayor, as we see in the New York shots is in the front row there as America's mayor.
		Tyler, um I remember uh when I say learning institutions, you got Charlie led an institution.
		You guys didn't kid yourselves.
		I remember coming on the show, uh, but you guys were in the studio and I would come on and literally in the Kerry Lake thing, we're going, remember is this precinct, you know, and you guys after that really changed everything by coming up with this ballot chasing initiative, and this ballot chasing initiative is hard work, and it's not the type of work you think young people are going to be that excited about.
		But you guys, Tyler, tell us about that because the reason we're here today with a House and a Senate and the presidency is because the work of Charlie Vision of Charlie Kirk and the work of the team around him, sir.
tyler bowyer ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and and you're exactly right, Steve.
		And you know this, is we buckled in and and got again an introspection into the world of politics, the R and C, what the Republican establishment wasn't doing uh on behalf of the American people, and decided made it made a decision.
		Charlie made a decision to do that work.
		And it's not easy work, it's big work, and we knew we had the people to do the work.
		And so we felt and Charlie had always felt this way, it's felt like there was a mantle that that needed to be carried by him with his influence, especially with young men in this last election to get that work done, and and that's all of the conversations we had moving forward.
		And so you look at you know, the the most recent conversation I had with Charlie was you know this last week of being dramatically concerned about the direction of where the Republican Party's going, about you know, conservatives, uh lifting up conservatives,
		making sure that we have enough young people that feel like they have the backing to run to run for he's constantly focused on who from uh who in the bench were we building, just like we were focused on every single day, you know, getting things done by 9 a.m.
		Uh you know, having a full agenda of things that we're gonna move the needle.
		The big question was is who's going to be the next man up to to fill the need and fill the void, and then how are we going to help those people make sure that they get elected?
		And those are the two very simple things when we talk about ballot chasing that that Charlie and his legacy will carry on.
		We will carry it on as so many people within our within our sphere with our ecosystem are Uh hopefully yesterday waking up and realizing they have to get more involved, they have to do more, they have to help chase ballots, they have to help get out the vote, they have to run for office, they have to step up because life is fragile, it's short, and this country is hanging by a thread at times, and we are very lucky this last election.
		We were able to uh bring all of that together and and work with the team from the content side to the turning point USA side, building the the funnel for the bench, and then working on the political side to actually put bodies on the ground that we need, and again, we're looking ahead to 2026 and 2028.
		You know, and I said this to some of our team yesterday is there's there's nothing that we can do more to honor Charlie than to see this thing through.
		It cannot lose steam, it cannot lose any kind of gas whatsoever.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		We have a war, we've a fight Char Charlie Kirk that Charlie Kirk would want to finish what we started, right?
		That was about but I'll start with Andrew then I want to bring in Tyler.
		When I looked at Charlie, I said, This guy's tapped into something, and what it was was a deep spirituality and a focus on young men.
		He realized that young men were were were lost.
		Tell tell me about this.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I mean you know, uh, we saw it in the social media metrics, um, we saw it in the crowds.
		Um we saw it and just you know, he couldn't walk down a street, and I kept telling this because you know, after the fall of 2025 and into the spring, we had to kind of recalibrate because he was so so so famous.
		Like um 24.
		24, fall 24, spring of 20, yeah, 25.
		And it was like, you know, he was always pretty well known.
		Um, you know, even when I first started working with him, like, you know, eight years ago, you know, he'd get fist bumps in the airport and stuff like that from random people, but then like I mean, it went so nuclear.
		Um, and it would always be these young young guys.
		Charlie, can I get a selfie?
		Can I get a self?
		I mean, and they would mob him.
		They would mob him.
		It didn't matter if he was walking on the street of Manhattan or in Seoul, South Korea, or uh London, England, or you know, Montana, or anybody anywhere in between.
		It was it was incredible.
		I have a story for you that you probably enjoy, Steve.
		He was hanging out with some Fox uh personalities, on air Fox personalities, and they were at this bar and they were kind of you know, uh talking, they wanted to talk about some some things.
		And I won't say the names, because that would be Charlie wouldn't want these were people that you would you would know.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		These are people that the public would know, right?
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		Of course, like very well-known people within conservative movement.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Right.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		And they're at this bar because that's the only place nearby.
		Just imagine I think I'm gonna love this story.
		Yeah.
		And you gotta understand, um, you know, uh Charlie, Charlie you know, had a good relationship with Fox, especially at the end, but there was times where it wasn't, you know, where he wasn't hanging like for three years when he was banned because of your guy's work on stolen election and all that, but what does it matter now?
		I mean, it was you know, it was after after Tucker.
		There was but anyways, they they ended up embracing, and it was it was uh it was good, it was good.
		Anyways, I I I want to be I want to be gracious in this time.
		It was good.
		Anyway, so part of that getting good time, they're at they're talking about they're talking at this bar.
		And this isn't a small town.
		I mean, you can imagine Fox is on every television in this town.
		And um, and there was a series about 50 to 75 people, I'm told, over the course of about an hour, and they all came up for selfies with Charlie, and on uh about 20 of those occasions, they asked these very famous Fox hosts if they could take the selfie with Charlie.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		They could take the picture.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Hey, can you work the camera for them going again?
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		And so, yeah, I mean, like that was that that was what Charlie's life had become, and he told me he's like, I've just I've um I've come to grips with it, I've accepted this is my new reality, and uh, but the the amount of love just that he organically got.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Look at look at we'll play later today in the afternoon show.
		Mean the great meeting, Grace and Mo G over to Korea.
		And Charlie, I mean, there's thousands of people at this thing, and Charlie's like such a known personality, right?
		It's just it's incredible.
		It's it's it's global, it's not just the United States.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		It is so global.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Uh Tyler, Tyler, uh uh Tyler, talk to me about the focus on men.
		Why did you choose?
		Why did Charlie Kirk particularly focus on young men and made the point continually that they're adrift, that Something's happened different uh now in our country that's never happened before.
		That young men are kind of adrift, and and we turning point in the senior leadership need to focus on that.
tyler bowyer ▲ ● ▼		Well, well, Steve, remember I met I met Charlie when he was basically a teenager, and you're not too long after that.
tyler bowyer ▲ ● ▼		And uh, you know, Andrew and I are uh the exact same age, and we have a very similar family situation married and kids and everything else, and I think one of the pleasures of getting that front row seat with Charlie is being able to see Charlie uh grow into a husband and a father.
unidentified		And for us being a little bit older than him, I'm sorry.
tyler bowyer ▲ ● ▼		It was always extremely gratifying to watch him become the man he he he wanted to be that he saw for himself, uh that he advocated for from day one,
		even as as a young guy that he wanted to be that honorable uh vision of a father and a and a husband for Erica that he is and you know many people know this story, but you know, Erica I met Erica hosting the very first Trump rally ever.
		We we'd organized it in 2015 in July of 2015, and it was a Phoenix, and it was what started the whole Trump Trump rally phenomenon.
		It was the first big one in Phoenix.
		But many people don't realize behind Trump speaking was my family and Erica was right behind the president, and she I wanted to hire her.
		Uh Charlie had different plans for that.
		He uh he met Erica and was like, oh my gosh, I have to marry this girl, and he did.
		And her world is collapsing, you know, because of this this this circumstance.
		But he wanted to be a a father and uh a husband and a father first.
		And so when you talk about young men and that influence over young men, every single decision that has been made for year many years, you know, I would say pretty close to the beginning of turning point has been centered around this being a good husband and a good father figure and how he can influence young men.
		And and when you have that as your as your mission first, as your voice first, you attract young men.
		And it wasn't popular to be that, you know, ten years ago when when you know 11 years ago when I met Charlie.
		Uh and now it is popular.
		You we see it everywhere and everything that we do.
		Young men admire Charlie Kirk for the husband and dad that he is.
		And I think that that's the most important thing that I want people to know.
unidentified		That he was such a great example that not all of us then knew him the best, and that we we gotta watch him operate because there was never a decision that was made that didn't go through that lens, and and that's so important for people to know.
		And it's such an example.
		And that's why young men are coming around because they're figuring out that that's the way.
		There's nothing better than having kids.
		There's nothing better than being asked.
		There's nothing better than putting your family first.
tyler bowyer ▲ ● ▼		So I'm so sorry.
tyler bowyer ▲ ● ▼		Like that's so.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		How did Sheriff Kirk do that?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		How did he make himself into the man that he wanted to be?
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		Well, I gotta say, um Erica gets a lot of credit for that.
		When Erica came around, I mean Charlie knew what his North Star was, but then when Erica came around, it was like just focused him like a laser.
		And um, if anybody who knows Erica knows she's like legitimately one of the most amazing people you're ever gonna meet.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		And this is why Charlie continued to focus on marriage and particularly getting married young.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		And starting a family and family formation.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		Well, but he was in very Charlie fashion to tell a story, you know.
		Uh Tyler, you know, he's Like he basically told Erica, you know, I have some bad news and some good news.
		Uh the bad news is, you know, I'm not gonna hire you at turning point.
		The good news is like I want to date you.
		And they went on, they went on dates and obviously ended up getting married.
		And um, and that was very Charlie uh because he was, you know, one thing I can tell you is from 18 to 31, Charlie packed more life into his those short days than most humans will pack into a hundred.
		And he lived his life so full.
		And he, you know, I was just reflecting on what Tyler was just saying about young men and your question.
		You know, I got off topic, I apologize, but your question about young men, and you had this this NBC poll that came out just a couple days ago, and Charlie was so excited about it because he said he said, Listen, we got a lot of work to do with the women.
		He's like, But we've done some great work with young men.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Like they know it, they want to have talk about married talk about that because uh the number one thing of young men is they wanna they want to have children.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and and Charlie Charlie, I mean, we preached it so I mean, and by the way, that's this is this is existing in a world full of other voices, even some on the right that say, Well, you know, you know, don't get married, it's not worth it.
		The the marriage laws are XYZ, and Charlie's P uh POV was like, let's let's make them sacred again.
		Let's restore this institution because it's God's design, and he said that over and over again.
		God's design is beautiful, God's design is amazing.
		Let's pour into let's lean into God's design.
		And um, and I can just tell you with the outpouring of all the letters and the notes, and I've been showing you here that my team is sending me from all the vigils that these pictures of these notes and handwritten notes with tears, right stains on them, and um, you know, they keep saying, like, you led me back to faith in God, you led me back, you restored my faith.
		And um, Charlie wanted to be remembered for his faith.
		And so I'm just so proud of that.
		And Steve, with your permission, I wanted to I wanted to read um something that's gonna be going up on our uh turning point socials very soon.
		Um our team put their heads together and wrote this and says and you're gonna see this on the website soon, but I figured I'd give it to you here first, Steve.
		Um every one of us at turning point is crushed and devastated by the hateful murder of our founder and guiding light, Charlie Kirk.
		All of us have lost a leader, a mentor, and a friend.
		Above all, our hearts are with Erica and their two children.
		Charlie was the ideal husband and the perfect father.
		Above all else, we ask you to pray for the Kirks after the incomprehensible loss that they have suffered.
		More than anyone, Charlie believed in the power of argument and good faith debate to find the truth and guide people towards, if not agreement, at least mutual understanding.
		Charlie was no stranger to threats.
		He received hundreds throughout his life, and really it was almost daily.
		Um, but he will always he always prioritized reaching as many young Americans as possible over his own personal safety.
		Now, Charlie has become America's greatest martyr to the freedom of speech he so adored.
		In his 31 years, Charlie lived more than any of us will live in a hundred.
		He had an overwhelming passion for life and a deep belief in his power as an individual to make a difference.
		With the spirit of a pioneer, Charlie launched turning point out of his parents' garage as an 18-year-old with no money, no name recognition, and only a dream.
		His energy and drive were awe-inspiring, without equal, and deeply infectious.
		Charlie refused to squander a single day of his life, and that's so true.
		He was a natural builder and problem solver who loved to challenge and saw every setback as a chance to learn, grow, pray, and try again.
		He was fundamentally decent, always eager to make new friends and allies, and to support and defend the ones he already had made.
		His values were timeless American ones.
		Honesty, forthrightness, duty, loyalty, and fair play.
		And I'm almost done.
unidentified		No, it was fantastic.
unidentified		Keep going.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		Charlie loved America, its people, its constitution, its freedom, and the limitless good of all of all of them have done for the entire world.
		But above all, Charlie lived every day with an overflowing Love of the Christ he knew he would one day get to see.
		When asked, Charlie said that above all he wished to be remembered for his faith.
		Far more than any political victory, Charlie wanted to see a spiritual revival among America's youth.
		He wanted a nation of happy, thriving families who loved God and each other.
		And at his final public speech, just days before his murder, Charlie witnessed to Jesus Christ to an audience of non-believers.
		Even in his very last moments, Charlie was professing the gospel.
		He ran his race well all the way to the end.
		Now he goes to his heavenly reward.
		Although Charlie is gone, his legacy will endure.
		He shall not grow old.
unidentified		Age shall not weary him.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		For all time, he will remain the brave young man who inspired tens of millions of Americans to better themselves and take action to better America.
		All of us will miss Charlie.
		None of us will ever forget him.
unidentified		Fantastic.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Tyler, comments, observations.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Beautiful.
unidentified		Thank you.
unidentified		Thank you.
tyler bowyer ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's the one of the most beautiful things that the team has put together is that it's it's important for people to know that that work, his focus on again,
		what we were talking about young men, uh rebuilding the home is the fundamental to uh having a faith-centered life, and you know, his belief that culture uh downstream from cultures is how you get your politics.
		And so we talk about that.
		We train all of our staff to that every single day.
		And and that is what the culmination of what the the full Charlie Kirk perspective was, and it was and the beautiful part about this last election in 2024 was people saw it was undeniable that everyone on the left could see it.
		Forget the right, that you know we sometimes think we see these things, but the left saw it, and they were so they were so scared of that because the left could never uh embrace any of these values.
		They they're not interested in any of these values.
		And that's why these conservative principles that you know we have worked with so many young people at all different ages, you know, everything from high school, college, you know, colleges are bread and butter, which is the heartbeat of Turning Point USA, where we started,
		and you know, pulling Charlie Kirk pulling out a uh uh folding table on campus, a uh card table on campus and handing out flyers that he printed himself uh out of a small office and in Illinois in the shadows of the Obama re-elect campaign.
		People understand this was all born from the shadows of the Obama re-elect campaign, uh heading to 2012, where you had a Chicago boy in the shadows of the Obama re-elect campaign that was out of out of the Chicago metro area, working as a as a true uh small versus large battle.
		I mean, one kid, all of this, millions of voices, tens of millions of voices now have come out of it over the last decade uh plus, and it's really been such an honor to see how that work is culminated and and the fruit that it's born and it will continue to bear.
		Um, and and that's the that's the mission that we have to be on at this point, which is we have to carry the baton of what Charlie's vision was because it's it's irref it's not replicable, uh, but millions of people can uh can stand in the pocket,
		can uh can be uh a version, that version of American that Charlie hoped to influence uh because that was not the path that we were on uh in 2011, 2012, and and Charlie stepped in as a as a teenager to give America a voice again, to give conservatives a voice again.
		And uh just like Andrew had said, he's go always, you know, there was always that question of uh I can't really envision you know an old man Charlie Kirk, and for many of us, it was envisioning him as president of the United States for that reason.
		And he is now going to live on forever in all of forever and eternity as that young man who did that work, who engaged in that work, uh, who changed so many lives, who dramatically changed the trajectory of where America was heading.
		And I don't think anyone can ever you know fully comprehend what that what that will do, what that will what that will bear over the course of the next decades.
		Uh, but we'll see it and we know, and again, we'll be able to have those conversations and and remember him for that.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		You've you've never had uh uh uh someone of that age.
		And remember, Charlie did not have a college degree.
		Charlie did this as a teenager.
		And you have to go back to the revolutionary generation, Hamilton, Jefferson, people like that in that youth, right?
		To see somebody at that age do it.
		Um I know you guys got so much to do, and I appreciate taking that out, but I want to finish what with one just observations um from both you and I'll start with uh with uh you, Andrew.
		People don't realize the bravery and current the most important of all virtues, as we know because upon courage, all other virtues rest.
		People do not understand the pressure, the tension, and the threats against Charlie Kirk that he just goes, I'm not gonna stop this work.
		I mean, he was assassinated in the very moment of what he did, what really changed the arc of this country personal engagement in in an upbeat mode, but but digging in on debate and and free speech and the sharing of ideas and changing minds.
		So talk to me about he constantly, you guys, he was under uh threats.
		And he and he would not back off.
		He did not, and that's what we have to understand here.
		We cannot uh back off, we can't flinch.
		Your thoughts.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I hate to be the guy, but I begged him to do less.
		I was you know, worried about his energy level, I was worried about his his uh his health.
		And um I begged him to, you know, maybe we don't need to do uh a fall tour this way.
		Wait, we maybe maybe we can put glass up.
		I mean, we've talked about all this stuff, and he just you know how Charlie was.
		He was just like, no, I'm not gonna do that.
		You know, like you know, I want to be close to everybody, you know.
		And um, you know, and and our security team is legitimately top-notch for anybody wondering.
		They they worked so long and extensively with local PD and advancing all of these stops.
		I mean, we have like an army of these guys.
		Yeah, and he didn't want to do that.
		But he, you know, and I in some ways, you know, he died with his boots on and with the microphone in his hand, doing what he loved most to do.
		And I want people to understand Charlie loved this, like format this moment with these students.
		He learned so much.
		He would always say that I learned so much.
		He loved it.
		He and and he died doing what he loved, and I know that because I saw it firsthand.
		I was the I was the voice in his ear going like, maybe we shouldn't try.
		No, he's like, I love this.
		You don't understand.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		He's not the one that ball caps and engagement.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		He loved it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Tyler, your closing thoughts and observations, sir.
tyler bowyer ▲ ● ▼		What Andrew just said is exactly right.
		This is this was the work the man loved.
		Uh, there is nothing that was going to stop Charlie Kirk from doing the work that he loved to do.
		Doing the work that was uh very directly what was needed to be done to to put this country on the right track.
		Uh that debt of gratitude that we all have that have been around Charlie, that have worked with Charlie uh in the trenches that have uh been in the battles.
		I mean, we've seen I I've been with Charlie.
		You've we've seen it, we've told these stories before where we've been attacked by Antifa in places we've Been uh you know, spit on and and hit and stuff has been thrown at us.
		We've seen it all from early days to to where we are today, and he's just become more loved, and as we know as he's become more loved, is that there's the the crazy people and the the radicals that that are very uncomfortable with how that popularity is has ascended.
		And again, the best thing that we can do is teach others to fearlessly do the work, the brave work that has to be done in order for this country to survive, for the constitutional republic to be defended.
		Uh there was no there was no pathway for a Trump revival without Charlie Kirk.
		There was no pathway for a Trump revival without uh all of the energy that you see in these images of particularly young men, but young people in general coming around, turning around.
		Uh that pride that Charlie had that we had shifted in in many of these states well more than double digits to the right, young people.
		I mean, in some of these places, we're talking 30, 40 points.
		This is generational change that will never stop or be forgotten.
		And so that's the best way we can honor Charlie is to r honor and respect his work, how he went about his work, and then do our best to do pieces of it to to replicate it.
		And I know that that's what all of our people are thinking about today.
		Uh, as we wake up and we think about Charlie and his legacy.
		Uh, and I know, Steve, I just want to say this.
		I know he how much he loved and adored you.
		Um as a as a guy that was in the foxhole with him constantly, and and you know, we talked about that loyalty that was that was felt both ways with you.
		And and I know I just want to say on behalf of the entire turning point family, and for for myself, is I I can't thank you enough for being that great friend to Charlie through the thick and thin.
		Because that's what that's what you know enabled Charlie to become Charlie and to do the work that he did.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, um, I uh I echo that, and I know I know because I saw what he said about you behind closed doors, Steve, how much he loved you.
		And uh no, I mean that.
		Um he did, he really did cared about you a lot and respected you a lot, and um never said side word sideways word, you know.
		And um I uh I just wanted to say one thing, and I I don't think it's worth giving them uh the time of day, frankly.
		Um, but you see I I want I just wanted to echo something I saw Matt Walsh actually wrong online because there's there's people celebrating this, and I think it's really disgusting, and they don't really deserve the time of day.
		But Matt had a great take, and that he's like, you know, when I die, I hope my enemies are uh are happy because that meant that like I was effective and they knew it.
		Yeah, and so Charlie was fighting against ideological enemies against this country, against God, against goodness, against righteousness.
		And I will say this what is sown in righteousness will bear righteous fruit.
		And Charlie, and you're hearing it from two guys and three guys really that knew him intimately and well and saw him day in and day out, saw him in the tough moments where the chips were down.
		He was fundamentally good, and he was decent and he was kind and he loved God and he was anchored, and he honored his friends.
		And what what he did behind closed doors is the same thing he did with his friends, whether it be you know Tucker Carlson or Meghan Kelly or Steve Bannon or some you know kid that he randomly met at some chapter, it was who he was, and he was the exact same person he lived his values out, and that's why I say what is sown in righteousness will bear bear righteous fruit.
		You cannot you cannot snuff out what is sown in righteousness, and um I truly believe that.
		And um anybody in the that can hear the sound of my voice, like take faith because God is our refuge.
		God is was Charlie strength.
		Charlie is with God right now.
		He is with Jesus.
		And I believe that with all my heart.
		I've gotten like some pastors and prophetic voices calling me saying that the craziest things happened right when Charlie's life was taken from us.
		And I believe it that God is going to bring about his vision and his goodness and his plan from this terrible tragedy.
		And I believe it with all my heart.
		And I last thing, Steve.
unidentified		Sure.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		Charlie was not a revolutionary.
		It's funny because I helped him with this book, The Right Wing Revolution.
		And that was that was actually a counter-revolutionary book.
		It was like, hey, we love peace and we love our country.
		We love America.
		We don't want to see blood in the streets.
		We don't want to see violence.
		And I just want to say that for all I love the righteous anger that I'm seeing from our friends.
		Don't get me wrong.
		I love it and I share it.
		And I want whoever did this to be brought to justice swiftly and uh firmly.
		But Charlie wants a country for his kids to thrive in and grow in.
		And I would just say it's okay to be radicalized.
		It's not okay for that to go in the wrong direction.
		Remember what Charlie would want.
		He won he loved our founders.
		He loved this country.
		Please direct what you're feeling towards saving America, not ripping it apart.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Well, let's do that because Charlie, it's it's on your shoulders and the team at Turning Point to finish what uh he started.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		So what's the uh what's your social media?
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		Um Twitter is uh X, it's uh Andrew Kay say.
		Um I'm mostly there as an attack dog for Charlie.
		Um, but I did leave a note um as best I could yesterday, moments after what happened.
		Um we're gonna we're gonna probably be doing the show after you today with with Jack Casovic.
		He's gonna be guest hosting.
		I'll probably chime in a bit and um uh we're gonna I know Jack's got a whole plan and um and uh turning point USA.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		We're gonna toss you guys like we always toss.
		Tyler, uh closing thoughts, and where do people track you guys?
		Because now it's upon the team at Turning Point, like I said, to finish uh to finish what Charlie started.
tyler bowyer ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, uh Steve.
		The best way, just like I Andrew said, the best way to get involved is is the spirit of Charlie Kirk, which is not the you know misdirected animosity and anger way.
		It's the way that Charlie Bell, I mean, the the beautiful part about what Charlie did that's different from everyone else, and I just had this conversation with others is we've had legends pass who have done so much good for this this world.
		Uh guys like Rush Limbaugh and so many others that we've seen in the in the past.
		The difference is that Charlie built something and led the way of this is what you do in order to help save the country in the way that Charlie would save it.
		All the programs that we do through Tourney Point USA, high school college and our faith, uh TP USA faith, uh getting involved with that, or you know, beyond that, it's uh politics and the elections is winning elections, winning the argument, winning the debate within the public space.
		That's what Charlie did.
		That's his entire legacy, this is his entire life is get involved, become part of something in your community.
		Don't stand by and become so cynical that you don't think this thing, these things can change.
		The cynics all sat along the sidelines and said that Trump can never win again.
		And and we knew better than that.
		We knew that if we could get everybody involved, Charlie knew that if we could get everybody involved doing these things that he could win.
		So getting involved at at Turning Point Action, we would welcome everybody with open arms.
		We have swing states to win, we have places to establish so that uh Charlie's kids and our kids can all uh live in the in the America that the the constitutional republic that we once knew we we know can be uh that we know that the the left is the radical left is working against.
		And so getting involved at TPaction.com.
		Uh just click the links to get involved.
		We would love nothing more than for millions of Americans to march to the beat of Charlie's drum for the rest of their lives.
		Uh that's that's the way.
		So thank you, Steve.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Amen.
		Uh we will toss to you guys at at noon.
		Tyler, Tyler Boyer, uh TP, uh turning point action, and of course, Andrew Colvet, the uh kind of the uh attack dog a little bit, the the the producer, the exact executive producer of the show and uh spokesman for turning point.

andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		and I've been showing you here that my team is sending me from all the vigils that these pictures of these notes and there's handwritten notes with tears stains on them, and um you know they keep saying, like, you led me back to faith in God.
		You led me back, you restored my faith.
		And um Charlie wanted to be remembered for his faith.
		And so I'm just so proud of that.
		And Steve, with your permission, I wanted to I wanted to read um something that's gonna be going up on our uh turning point socials very soon.
		Um our team put their heads together and wrote this and says and you're gonna see us on the website soon, but I figured I'd give it to you here first, Steve.
		Um every one of us at turning point is crushed and devastated by the hateful murder of our founder and guiding light, Charlie Kirk.
		All of us have lost a leader, a mentor, and a friend.
		Above all, our hearts are with Erica and their two children.
		Charlie was the ideal husband and the perfect father.
		Above all else, we ask you to pray for the Kirks after the incomprehensible loss that they have suffered.
		More than anyone, Charlie believed in the power of argument and good faith debate to find the truth and guide people towards, if not agreement, at least mutual understanding.
		Charlie was no stranger to threats.
		He received hundreds throughout his life.
		Really, it was almost daily.
		Um, but he will always he always prioritized reaching as many young Americans as possible over his own personal safety.
		Now Charlie has become America's greatest martyr to the freedom of speech he so adored.
		In his 31 years, Charlie lived more than any of us will live in a hundred.
		He had an overwhelming passion for life and a deep belief in his power as an individual to make a difference.
		With the spirit of a pioneer, Charlie launched turning point out of his parents' garage as an 18-year-old with no money, no name recognition, and only a dream.
		His energy and drive were awe-inspiring, without equal, and deeply infectious.
		Charlie refused to squander a single day of his life.
		That's so true.
		He was a natural builder and problem solver who loved to challenge and saw every setback as a chance to learn, grow, pray, and try again.
		He was fundamentally decent, always eager to make new friends and allies, and to support and defend the ones he already had made.
		His values were timeless American ones.
		Honesty, forthrightness, duty, loyalty, and fair play.
		And then I'm almost done.
		Charlie loved America, its people, its constitution, its freedom, and the limitless good of all of all of them have done for the entire world.
		But above all, Charlie lived every day with an overflowing love of the Christ he knew he would one day get to see.
		When asked, Charlie said that above all he wished to be remembered for his faith.
		Far more than any political victory, Charlie wanted to see a spiritual revival among America's youth.
		He wanted a nation of happy, thriving families who loved God and each other.
		And at his final public speech, just days before his murder, Charlie witnessed to Jesus Christ to an audience of non-believers.
		Even in his very last moments, Charlie was professing the gospel.
		He ran his way race well all the way to the end.
		Now he goes to his heavenly reward.
		Although Charlie is gone, his legacy will endure.
		He shall not grow old.
unidentified		Age shall not weary him.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		For all time, he will remain the brave young man who inspired tens of millions of Americans to better themselves and take action to better America.
andrew colvett ▲ ● ▼		All of us will miss Charlie.
charlie kirk ▲ ● ▼		none of us will ever forget him battle is coming to the west And the enemies are wokism or Marxism, combining with Islamism, to go after what we call the American way of life.
		And the American way of life is very simple.
		I want to be able to get married, buy a home, have kids, allow them to ride their bike till the sun goes down, send them to a good school, have a low-crime neighborhood, not to have my kid be taught the lesbian gay, transgender garbage in their school.
		While also, while also not having them have to hear the Muslim call to prayer five times a day.
		That's important.
		We want the American way of life, which is, by the way, Christendom.
		Christians, our sacrifice, our toil, our vision, the outgrowth of the scriptures gave us Western civilization.
		And this is where I think is a great rallying cry.
		Doesn't matter if you're Hispanic, doesn't matter if you're Asian, doesn't matter if you're black or white.
		Everybody, if you are Christian and Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, these two threats are combining forces to come after us.
		And it's time that the church stands and rises up against it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Stands and rises up.
		Dave Bratt, you're my resident philosopher, theologian, Charlie Kirk.
		His place in American history and the warning that he left us with, sir.
unidentified		here.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, uh without exaggeration, uh I think uh yesterday he's gonna be up there with JFK, Martin Luther King Jr., etc.
		Uh Charlie, what you just heard him say, right?
		He said, and I I just want this all to be about Charlie Kirk.
		I'll just say my our Liberty students got together and uh praise God uh for the work of Charlie Kirk and Turning Point in every university on his campus.
		You know, the you you kids keep moving, keep moving, you're doing great.
		Just keep it moving.
		But uh Charlie, I I you know, everything we've heard today, he said for me, what's your number one?
		Everyone's asking him, what's your number one, Charlie?
		He says, My number one is courage for my faith.
		Courage for my faith.
		That's his enduring message to all of us.
		Uh and then secondly, people ask, what's your calling?
		Charlie, what's your calling, right?
		In the in the Christian faith, uh, you believe God, you know, uh calls you to certain purposes.
		He said, My calling, other people have different callings, uh, but my call is to fight evil and to proclaim the truth.
		And boy, you just heard it, man.
		When he picks his people, uh, Andrew and Tyler, I I get to see these guys once in a while with you, Steve.
		And uh when you see the people he picks, right?
		The humility and the strong faith and the the the encouragement they give to the family.
		Uh it's I just want to read it again.
		My call, this is Charlie Kirk, and I hope you will all join Charlie in his call, in his calling, is to fight evil and to proclaim the truth.
		Uh, and then where does he do that?
		He goes on to the American uh university campus.
		And so the next key for Charlie is education.
		Uh and we have not been doing a good job across the country.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		He goes, he goes, he goes to the very place that used to be the foundation for for truth that has modern America, right?
		Throughout the Judeo-Christian West, but particularly in modern America, have been become a a nest of propaganda of of anti of anti the tenets of the Judeo-Christian West, of the most virulent hatred of Christendom, right?
		That's what Charlie Kirk, he walked towards the fire.
		And this is why the guy said, with all the threats against him, he wasn't gonna back off because that's what he did, right?
		That's who he was his his proclamation of the truth was to young people, his genius was understanding that uh young men particularly yearn for that, sir.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, no, that's right.
		And uh what what's his chief message you just heard?
		Uh it's there is a truth.
		The truth is to be found in God, in Jesus Christ, in Christendom.
		He just said that 30 seconds ago.
		That's his truth.
		And so the truth of the last fifty years in higher education has been called openness, right?
		We're open to anything.
		A moral relativism.
		Uh and on the on 9-11, right?
		It all ties in together.
		Uh no, we are not open to everything.
		And you don't want to say you're closed-minded, but we are closed uh off, and we need to close off uh to the list he just said to this idea of men as women, our kids in shared bathrooms, uh the faith.
		And then the key to this all, right?
		If you really want to get at it, this openness, the Christians have been weak, and the Christian church has been weak.
		These young men, uh, including Charlie, are better than uh most of the pastors out there in the churches.
		And so the churches, I hope they take up Charlie's uh mission here as well.
		Uh but what what he's teaching us is uh to follow the truth of a certain tradition, and that not everything is open.
		Uh and the key to this is what is going on in our K to 12 education system.
		We're not allowed to mention God.
		He had another clip on morality.
		I want to share.
		The teachers make it very clear there's morality, right?
		They're giving you all sorts of lectures on their morality.
		The only morality that's not allowed is the majority morality of the Christian West.
		That's the only one you cannot teach, right?
		And just so folks know, uh when Charlie's educating, boy, is he good, uh Aristotle and the and the Christian founders, uh, et cetera, and human rights language, rights to life, which was just cut short for Charlie.
		Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness all come out of only the Judeo-Christian West.
		In about the 1200s out of the Catholic Church, rights language uniquely and solely come out of that.
		Now uh the minority is pushing their rights.
		Uh our kids have to go into bathrooms and men are women.
		The a minority Handful of point one percent of people are dominating the majority because the majority has become so weak.
		The founders never intended that.
		We want to protect minority rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
		But they don't get to dictate the will of the country.
		And so I think Charlie and the churches and the schools, everyone, we need to demand that the Christian message be taught in K-12 and in higher education in the curriculum, uh, and it's an embarrassment for it not to happen, right?
		Other traditions uh have not produced human rights uh language.
		Uh Islam, God is so totally sovereign, and your obedience so dictated, they have not uh developed a a human rights tradition.
		Uh I can go across the others with billions of folks, right?
		And most of the people in the world are religious.
		There's huge wisdom we can glean and we can debate.
		Uh, but the greatness of the United States of America's comes solely out of that Judeo-Christian tradition.
		The kids are not taught this.
		The left wants to deny that.
		Uh and they took Charlie's life yesterday.
		It was a gut punch.
		I I've never felt like that.
		I I I I've seen tough stuff.
		I hang around with Stephen K. Bannon.
		Uh President Trump's been shot twice, but my gut was sick yesterday.
		And my wife is is so upset, and all of our friends at Liberty University.
		Uh and the kids are out uh celebrating and uh praising God for that gift.
		But now the next step is to fight the fight, right?
		This uh the his killer needs to be found.
		Uh this leftist assault on the universities.
		We're paying for this, right?
		You know, i i I didn't get to that little point.
		We are being made to pay for K to 12 education that won't teach about God.
		What that's what where'd my liberty go, right?
		Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
		You're encroaching upon my liberty.
		I'm having to fund your atheism at universities, et cetera.
unidentified		Yeah.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Hang hang over one second.
		I want to play the clip from liberty.
		Um we're producing as a goal.
		And I want to follow that if we can, if we have time, about Charlie talking about doing this at the universities.
		If not, I'll do it off the break.
		Let's play the Liberty clip first.
unidentified		Amazing grace, how sweet a sound that saved a wretch like me.
		I once was lost, but now I'm found.
		Was blind, but now I see.
		Incredible.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		powerful.
		That's yesterday, spontaneous.
		And you saw this throughout the country and the world, spontaneous uh, and how many people, how many young men uh would would uh had done something and accomplished something that spontaneous throughout the world, these demonstrations of um of of sorrow, but also reinforcing the fact that Charlie Kirk's work would go on.
		I tell you, J Dave, hang on.
		We have uh another clip of Charlie talking about the college campuses and doing what he does, which as um Andrew Colvet said it best.
		He died with his boots on yesterday.
		Let's go ahead and play this.
charlie kirk ▲ ● ▼		I go around universities and have challenging conversations because that's what is so important to our country is to find our disagreements respectfully because when people stop talking, that's when violence happens.
unidentified		I've never seen someone do these.
charlie kirk ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's a growing trend because people like me are facing violence, assaults, the left.
		Yes, the campus antifa.
		I've been stormed out of restaurants, I've been assaulted publicly, multiple death threats.
unidentified		Okay, so what's your goal of this?
charlie kirk ▲ ● ▼		There's more people that agree with me than some people would pop actually believe, and they come out of the woodwork when I do stuff like this.
		We record all of it so that we put it on the internet so people can see these ideas collide.
		When people stop talking, that's when you get violence.
		That's when civil war happens.
		Because you start to think the other side is so evil and they lose their humanity.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Okay, Charlie Kirk tells us what he uh what he did.
		Uh Dave Brett, uh, tell me about uh Charlie Kirk.
		I've got about a minute here before we go to break.
		Particularly the fact that Charlie Kirk focused on young men.
		He knew the young men had a very deep spiritual yearning in this country.
		Your thoughts, sir.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, no, he didn't.
		You you just heard it right there.
		Uh, you know, and and his education to the young men is to give them a sense of strength.
		Uh, we share in the Judeo-Christian West, the Christian uh religion.
		Uh and he shared that.
		He shared Jesus Christ more than most pastors do.
		It's just stunning.
		And and he asks and and gives all the right answers.
		The left does not have a morality.
		In case folks don't know, that there's no such thing as ethics, right?
		There's all sorts of systems about that.
		They're Christian ethics, Kantian ethics, Aristotle.
		Charlie knew them all.
		Uh, but there's only one that's huge that produces human rights.
		Uh and we're not allowed to teach it in the United States of America when all the founders, all the original 13 colonies, you had to be a Christian to serve in government.
		And Charlie taught all that.
		All the founders of all the universities from Harvard Yale Princeton were all Christian, all the presidents, all the board of trustees.
		Harvard's motto was truth for Christ and church.
		Now they're not even for truth.
		They're not even Veritas.
		And Charlie knew it all.
		And we need to turn it upside down, right?
		Whoever's paying for this stuff, quit paying and start subsidizing turning point.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Dave, hang on, hang on for a second.
		We're gonna take a short commercial break.
		We're gonna return.
unidentified		Dave Bratz with us and hopefully Jack Basobick.
robert bohls ▲ ● ▼		My name is Robert Bowles, and I am the special agent in charge of the Salt Lake Field Office.
		Following yesterday's tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk, FBI agents have been working around the clock in coordination with our law enforcement partners.
		We are and will continue to work non-stop until we find the person that has committed this heinous crime and find out why they did it.
		This morning I can tell you that we have recovered what we believe is the weapon to be that was used in yesterday's shooting.
		It's a high-powered bolt-action rifle.
		That rifle was requ was recovered in a wooded area where the shooter had fled.
		So the FBI laboratory will be analyzing this weapon.
		Investigators have also collected footwear impression, a palm print, and forearm imprints for analysis.
		Now, I understand there are a lot of questions about motive.
		and I assure you that all leads, tips, and tips are being fully investigated.
		As of this morning, we have received more than 130 tips.
		We thank the community for that.
unidentified		Okay.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Uh the the stunning uh Wall Street Journal has just come out, uh, Jack Pasobic, and Jack Pasovic joins us now.
		Jack Pesog will be anchoring uh the noon show as we tossed uh uh the Charlie Kirk show.
		Also, Tyler and and um Andrew, our guest for the first hour will be there also.
		Uh headline of the Wall Street Journal ammunition and Kirk shooting a grave with transgender anti-fascist ideology.
		Investigators found ammunition engraved with expressions of transgender and anti-fascist ideology inside the rifle that authorities believe was used in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, according to internal law enforcement bulletin and a person familiar with the investigation, Jack Pasovic.
		Your thoughts about um where we are in this investigation to find the assassin of uh Charlie Kirk.
jack posobiec ▲ ● ▼		Well, Steve, I think like you and so many others in America today.
		Um last night we didn't get a lot of sleep, and so I've been up all night on the phone with with uh people who are close to Charlie, people who are out there in Salt Lake.
		I'm trying to hold it down here, at least in front of the and for the media side for uh for the time being until I can get there.
		And I I plan to be there soon, at least out west.
		Look, one of the very first things that I said uh in in the aftermath of this, after the multiple false starts with capturing this suspect, I said, you know, it wouldn't surprise me if this was somebody who could blend in with a college population and possibly was someone who was younger, uh, college age.
		This would be in line with the Luigi Maggione, uh, which we've been talking about.
		This would be in line with Thomas Matthew Crooks.
		This would be in line with a string of trans shooters, uh, the shooter Westman up at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis.
		So it it fits a trend and a profile that we have seen and tracked for quite some time now over just the past year, year plus of these Gen Z types with a pro-trans, anti-Christian, anti-conservative, um, anticonservative mindset and ideology, and also it fits with the age profile.
		In fact, that area, Provo, Utah, and uh Salt Lake City area is known to have a socialist rifle club that I've done reporting on in the past, and so obviously there's a lot of connections there that we'd want to look into and a lot of questions about how exactly someone and and what we're told is that this was an old style, uh, some of the reports that are coming out, an old style carbine, an old style uh hunting rifle.
		Uh that is not collapsible.
		So the question is, how is somebody able to get out of the crowd while carrying something like that?
		At first I thought perhaps they had a collapsible rifle, would be able to put it fit into a backpack or something like that.
		So a lot of questions as to how this person was able to exfiltrate from the situation.
		And of course, uh clearly, clearly well planned in advance.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Access to the roofs.
		I mean, these universities, they you have to have key cards to get in buildings, you have to have key cards, then additional key cards again on top of people just don't have access to so many questions that I know that the investigators are working on it.
		Uh, but you know, we have to be face reality here.
		Charlie Kirk was executed yesterday in front of the world, doing what he does best, and this was a good and decent man, uh, besides being one of the greatest leaders this country's ever produced.
		Like I said, you have to go back to the revolutionary generation to see uh a young man that changed the arc of of the country.
		And I'm I'm not talking about people in the Civil War and World War II that fought and and and died in combat and and and uh and are among the greatest heroes who ever had, but somebody that actually on a political basis at his age did something so profound.
		Uh and so who assassinated him, why they did it, and how they did it are are of um an incredible import in this moment in the nation's political history, Jack DeSobick.
		And I just want people to no, we're gonna wrap the show up here in a while.
		And this is why I asked Tyler and uh and Andrew, who by the way were magnificent.
		It was exactly the way I wanted the show to go to have real insights from people that were near him, and I'm so honored to be tossing a Jack Pasobic uh when our show is over this morning.
		Um the threats that you have, the threats that Charlie has, uh, you know, I I have threats too, but it's not at the level you guys are very different.
		You have threats, because Antifa, you guys are out there at the tip of the tip of the spear in the moment, in these crowds, particularly college-age crowds and younger crowds, and people do not understand the courage it takes for a Charlie Kirk to do that every day, the courage it takes for a Jack Passobic to do it, the courage it takes for these other people that engage uh what are evil people.
		They're just evil people, they're not good people.
		And they put threats on our people and they try to disrupt, and yet you guys go out time and time and time again, really in harm's way, sir.
jack posobiec ▲ ● ▼		Well, well, Steve, I mean, that's that's true, but at the same time, it's you know, what when people to the world, Charlie Kirk, he's he's a hero.
		He's uh the the conservative fire brand, but you know, to many of us, he's he's our brother, he's our friend, and he's somebody whose leadership we have all looked to so many times in the foxhole, fight after fight, and you know, they talk about groups of men getting things done.
		And I I just wanted to, you know, Steve, you and I mentioned this yesterday on the show, and I pulled up the numbers here for this.
		In 1776, the age of the founding fathers, because people are saying Charlie Kirk, we're 31, he's so young, he's so young, and of course he was.
		And he was taken from us way too soon.
		But listen to this the age of the founding fathers in 1776.
		Thomas Jefferson, 33, James Madison, 25, Alexander Hamilton, 21, James Monroe, 18, and then Edward Rutledge, 26, Thomas Lynch, 26.
		And then you've got Adams was 40, Washington, 44, and of course, Benjamin Franklin, the old the old man was was 70.
		Steve, I don't know if you know anyone who would fit the bill for that.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		With the young charges.
		Um No, the revolutionary generation was extraordinarily young.
		And Charlie Kirk has done something that has not been done really since the revolutionary generation of a young person coming in and building an institution but having an impact and a plan.
		And you're absolutely correct.
		And people, you know, a lot of people are gonna be coming, oh no, Charlie Kirk this, Charlie Kirk this, particularly some other networks.
		In those years in the wilderness, in in 21 and 22, uh when President Trump we were regrouping.
		If you hadn't had turning point, you had had Charlie Kirk, and you hadn't had the team that he had, um, we wouldn't be where where we were today, and as importantly, and what so impressed me was the lessons learned of the stealing of Kerry Lake's election for governor.
		Um they took those lessons, Jack, as you know, and they rethought their model, and they said we got to do this in a different way, and my God, that they do it in a different way, and that is one of the central reasons Trump won in 2024, sir.
		But it d just people have to remember, these are people that are constantly under threats, constantly under abuse, and they did not well.
		The easiest thing in the world to do is for Charlie Kirk to go to Silicon Valley and become a billionaire.
		Charlie Kirk had the personality, the brains, the the ability to network, that kind of energy that draws people in, you can build teams on, which is so important out there.
		He didn't do that.
		He didn't do that in any risk, he could have had a safe life, been a billionaire, had all the material things because he had a yearning and a need to save his country.
		And Jack, you working with him every day, he knew the way to do that was through young men.
		That's the thing I keep telling people.
		He knew it was gonna be the path to turn this country around was through the young men.
		And it's just what you guys have accomplished is uh nothing short of miraculous.
jack posobiec ▲ ● ▼		Look, when when you look at what what Charlie's done and the fights that I've had the honor of being with him, and it's been the honor of my life to stand next to him and fight these fights and to see Charlie in all of them.
		And every morning, you know, Steve, we don't usually talk about this, but me, you and Charlie have a text thread, a group text thread that's been going on for uh years, you know, at this point.
		And uh one of the very first things that Charlie will do every single morning when he wakes up, because we're East Coast time, he's West Coast time, he'll send us a Bible verse.
		And it's you know, it might be a proverbs, might be one of the Psalms.
		Whatever he's reading might be something from Corinthians, he loves Corinthians.
		Yeah.
		And he just does that.
		He just he finds it and then he sends it.
		And the thing with Charlie, too, is that you know that when he would go to the Bible, which he would start every morning with, is he's not just going to some list and sending a verse off.
		No, he's studying it, he's understanding the verse, what it means, what the context is, what the context of the time was, the history, how it connects to old testament, how it connects to the greater history, and that's something that you know Charlie wasn't doing that for a it wasn't a gimmick.
		It wasn't a uh it wasn't just showmanship.
		This was something that Charlie actually lived every single day.
		And that's why Charlie's not just an American martyr.
		He is a Christian martyr.
		Charlie's a Christian martyr who stood up for his faith and never backed down from an opportunity to tell the to give his testimony, to give his testimony for the gospel, to give his testimony to Christ.
		And that is how we know that Charlie Kirk is in fact a Christian martyr as well, because he wove that into every single thing that he did in public and in private.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Jack, I'm gonna let you uh go get ready for the show.
		We're gonna toss to you at noon.
		Uh Tyler and Andrew will be with you.
		You've got a uh show plan, the Charlie Kirk showed today hosted by a number of.
jack posobiec ▲ ● ▼		I'll just say there's some big names that have been reaching out to come on today, some big names.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Fantastic.
		So uh we look forward to that.
		And uh Jack Basobi got very little sleep last night.
		So uh Jack, thank you.
		And um we will continue our morning.
		I call it the uh morning vespers.
		It was our it was our editorial call done by text uh message.
		Or every now and again I'd have to call Pesobic, but no.
		Uh I'll miss that.
		Charlie's verses and uh Charlie's take on the news every day early, kind of pre-dawn out on the West Coast and for earlier in the East Coast.
		Jack Pesobic.
		Uh Jack, give your uh social media.
		I want to make sure everybody, particularly the large audience we have watching the show today, make sure how they track you.
jack posobiec ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, um we're we're not posting a lot today.
		Um, just sort of we're not posting a lot today.
		Um, but if you can find so go follow the post-millennial, go follow humanevents.com.
		Uh I'll I'll post things as it seems appropriate.
		I'm told the Charlie Kirk social media is going to be going dark for a period here as things all get sorted out.
		But anything that goes up is absolutely going to be in memorial and in tribute to our fallen friend.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Jack Basobic, honored to have you on here, and I'll toss you in a few minutes.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, sir.
jack posobiec ▲ ● ▼		God bless.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Here on Real America's Voice, and I want to thank uh Robin Parker Sig for making uh we got out here in the middle of the night.
		Uh the wee hours of the morning we're able to set up and do remote, and we're gonna try to actually move around today and um maybe do it from another location uh if we can.
		Don't know if that's possible logistically, but we'll try and want to thank uh the Real America's Voice team.
		That was the channel and the network of uh War Room and the Charlie Kirk Show.
		We're gonna take a short commercial break.
		will return in just a moment.
charlie kirk ▲ ● ▼		I talk to a lot of young people on campuses, at our events, on my radio show, podcast, and social media.
		Said differently, I visit college campuses so you don't have to.
		We're talking to so many voters that know it is time for change.
		They know that something is wrong.
		America's future is a series of choices.
		Our current state of slow motion national decline is a choice.
		Today is our two-year-old's birthday.
		And I look at my daughter, and that is my why.
		For those that are parents, you know exactly what I mean.
unidentified		There is no mountain stand as your face.
unidentified		And there's nothing else I'll ever need All of my days, Your mercy follow me If the people want it, the people get it.
charlie kirk ▲ ● ▼		And we the people take back America.
charlie kirk ▲ ● ▼		God bless Arizona, and thank you so much.
unidentified		Four.
unidentified		Three, two, one.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		The great Charlie Kirk right there, Real America's voice, fantastic tribute.
		Uh, there'll be many more of them.
		But the most important thing, I think, for Charlie right now is to finish what he started.
		This guy was a warrior and was assassinated.
		Remember that.
		Assassinated, executed.
		The Wall Street Journal story, and I couldn't really get to it during the show, and we'll get to it this afternoon, I promise.
		It's explosive.
		If Grayson Moe can push that story out now, everybody's got to read it, because this clearly came from people on the investigation.
		Very, very explosive.
		Dave Bratt, uh, your uh summary thoughts.
		We're gonna pitch or in a second to the Charlie Kirk show here on Real America's Voice, Jack Pesobick sitting in with Tyler Boyer and uh Andrew Colvet today.
		Uh your thoughts, sir.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, in summary, uh I think uh the guys that work with him said it best.
		He's just a good man.
		He's a good man.
		Three things came out of the show today from Charlie.
		God, freedom, and the United States of America.
		Boy, he wants a revival of all three.
		God, freedom, and the United States of America.
		Our rights have been trounced.
		President Trump, in his tribute the other day, said, in his prayer breakfast, said, the United States is strong when religion's strong.
		And religion's getting weak.
		And the United States is becoming weak.
		And that's been the show all day today.
		And so the CIA, the FBI, they've been doing color revolutions on everyone in the world, on the United States of America.
		I want consequences now for this death.
		And I don't want it to just be some patsy or whatever.
		I want to go deep.
		So I wish the CIA and our intelligence agencies and the FBI would do a deep dive on everything, all this.
		There's too many common denominators coming up.
		And none of it is helping the American middle class, right?
		So we've got great people to lead it.
		Tulsi's awesome.
		But the rest of them, I've got some questions.
		So we want some consequences fast on all of it.
unidentified		Yeah.

steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Dave, Brad.
		is going to join us this afternoon we're gonna have others that knew Charlie well and also people that can give us insights into this investigation in fact what I want to do the TRT of the uh I want to play that uh real America's voice clip at the end of this so if it's about a minute and a half we'll cut to that a minute just tell me the TRT.
		Minute 26.
		See, this is how we do the War Room.
		You put it together and coordinate.
		My crack producer.
		So at a minute 26, I'm going to toss to that amazing reel put together by the Real America's Voice team.
		And I want to thank them for that.
		Jack Basobik will take the show over at – we're not doing a live handoff, right?
		We're just going to toss to the show?
		Jack's not up, right?
		Jack's gone?
		I'm just asking questions, though.
		We'll play the thing and then they'll take you to 6.
		So this afternoon, right at noon, as we do every day, we're going to toss to the Charlie Kirk show.
		Remember, we set it up to have a block of two hours of the War Room, two hours of Charlie.
		He did another hour on radio, but then go right to Jack Basobik.
		So we used to call it the Power Five, right?
		Five hours of populist nationalism.
		And Jack's right.
		Every morning, we'd have a – we'd had a text stream of which we'd go over some of the things we were going to cover and kind of give insights of what we thought the day was going to be.
		And Charlie would consistently put up in that – start with a Bible verse, something he was reading or something he was studying.
		He's a man that understood the Holy Word of God, both the Old Testament and the New Testament, very thoroughly and lived it.
		And I think it's so appropriate that the last weekend of his life in Korea, spreading the word.
		Mina Kim's tremendous conference.
		else he's got going on to fight a Korea and to do that to spread the word because he knew that our Korean brethren our brothers and sisters in Korea are in tremendous pressure from the Chinese Communist Party and Charlie Kirk had a great sense of the moment and a great sense of geopolitics so we're gonna leave you today we're gonna toss we're gonna play this memorial uh and we're gonna toss to Jack Basobic to Tyler Boyer to Andrew Colvet uh they're gonna take the Charlie Kirk show uh from here so let's go ahead and play the tribute to Charlie Kirk.
charlie kirk ▲ ● ▼		We'll be back at five PM Eastern Daylight time from Utah live from Utah I talk to a lot of young people on campuses at our events on my radio show podcast and social media said differently I visit college campuses so you don't have to we're talking to so many voters that know it is time for change.
		They know that something is wrong.
		America's future is a series of choices our current state of slow motion national decline is a choice today is our two year old's birthday.
		And I look at my daughter, and that is my why.
		For those that are parents, you know exactly what I mean.
unidentified		There is no mountain that stands tall as your face full, and there's nothing else I'll be.
