0:03 My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the0:15 most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You gotta stop sending your0:27 kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter. Go start a Turning Point USA high school chapter. Go find out how your church0:36 can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am, Lord MuseMe.0:48 Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the1:00 leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.1:09 Alright. Welcome to the Charlie Kirk show. It is Monday after America Fest. We are all exhausted but energized. What an amazing event. Blake and the team are back in studio. Blake,1:21 welcome. Happy Monday.1:22 Happy Monday. Where are you, Andrew?1:24 I am in an undisclosed location, but excited about the holidays fast approaching. I told everybody I was, you know, what I do, like 48 interviews or something during1:36 the the course of AmFest. And, I told everybody all I wanna do for Christmas, all I want for Christmas is to sit on the couch, watch Christmas movies, eat baked goods, and add a few LBs and not even care. So
1:48 that's, that is the plan this week. But, you know, we have to tell the tale that was, 4 action packed days of America Fest, Blake. I mean, that was, you
2:00 know, every side of the political debate seemed to get in on what happened at AmFest. Everybody had an opinion. I'm all I'm all here for it. And you know more than any other Am Fest in the history of Turning
2:11 Point, this was, we had the eyes of the world, the nation certainly on this event. And so you're gonna get a lot of opinions either way, but 1 thing is very clear. Anybody that was there absolutely had the time of their
2:23 lives and realized just how much unity there is in the movement, in the the love of the people. I think it was truly transformative if you were in the space, in the event, and if you were just on
2:35 Twitter taking potshots, I guess there's no pleasing you. But I I mean, honestly, what an event. What an absolutely historic, enormous achievement for the team, and I'm
2:47 really proud of everybody that was involved. It was it was such a triumph in so many ways. Blake, you were you were obviously there. You, were taking part in a lot of the, activities and interviews and shows. What was
2:58 your take?
2:59 Yeah. It's very funny because I we were doing so many interviews for the exclusive segments that I kind of had a bit of tunnel vision. I didn't see that many of the speeches on stage, so I'm actually looking forward to
3:10 catching some of the clips that we have here. Because we did, as I'm sure a lot of you listening right now know, we had our CK Exclusives room, we talked to Megan Kelly, we had Michael Knowles, had Tom Homan,
3:21 we had, the sons of that Korean pastor Pastor Son who was arrested in Korea who we had on the show at AmFest last week. And so we saw all of that, but what we were seeing on stage at the
3:33 same time was I think what was most interesting about this AmFest is we've had it as a big event, we've had it as an event to get people fired up, we've had it as an event for people to
3:45 celebrate after the 20 24 win. But I think this was probably the most significant America Fest in terms of it really being a space where
3:56 different members of the coalition, different members of MAGA go to state their position on what the movement should be, how they should approach subs, significant issues. I think it stands out. We
4:08 built on the debate that we had last summer, and we had several debates on different issues. And I think that's a very promising theme that we'll be having going forward. Because we can do we can do debates about Israel,
4:20 we can do debates about weed, we can do maybe we'll have a debate about the property tax and everyone can yell at me again. I think it, that's what stood out about this America Fest. That there was,
4:33 there was a certain combativeness over issues, but I as you said, people on the ground, it was a very positive vibe, a very good attitude. There was a lot of unity coming from everyone remembering
4:45 Charlie, and what he meant for the movement. And I think most people there, the vast majority of people there, were extremely upbeat, and they were remembering the things that we're all fighting for.
4:57 Yeah. And then, you know, like I said, it was like an it was like a play in 4 acts or something. You know? It was like night 1. It was, you know, Ben Shapiro came on the stage, kinda name checked a a lot of people.
5:09 Kinda took as as I said, it kinda took like a howitzer to a lot of the online right and had you know, it was like the, festivus for the rest of us. It was a episode of Seinfeld, aired his grievances, got it out of his
5:21 system. And then you had a couple of those people, Tucker on the first night that kind of fired back. But, you know, I think Tucker was a little bit more restrained. And then you had Steve Bannon, obviously, Megan Kelly.
5:33 So you had a bunch of that kind of chatter. But by the, I think it was, Saturday night, you had Jesse Waters come on and basically just tell funny stories about Trump and kind of talked about how
5:45 Charlie inspired him and ended ended the, Saturday night. And then we had faith night, so we had, you know, proclamation of the gospel. And we had, of course, Sunday where we had the
5:56 surprise guest, Nicki Minaj. We had Erica interview her. We had Don Junior. We had then, of course, JD Vance, who was the capstone of the entire event. And I I was
6:08 telling people, I was like, you know, the capstone of this event with JD coming in, it felt like, you know, dad's home. Alright. Settle down kids. Here's what's gonna here's what's gonna be the the message and the
6:20 takeaway. And he just did such a good job of crystallizing. I think all of the the sort of various, I don't know, messaging like through lines that you could pick apart and you
6:32 could see. And then JD Vansch just comes in and says, settle down. Here's the way it's gonna go. We're not gonna cancel anybody. We're not deplatforming anybody. We're gonna have these arguments, you know, out in the
6:42 open. And by the way, here's where we're going as a movement. Here's why we're gonna win the midterms. Here's why we're different than the left. Here's why, you know, you're not gonna get hive minded collectivism and sit
6:53 down, shut up, and and pipe down. You know, it was just such a morally clear speech. I think in it's going to go down in history books as 1 of the most important speeches
7:04 ever. Not just because this was the first AmFest of the post Charlie era which was on everybody's hearts and minds the entire time. I mean by the way I just want to give a shout out to so many of the
7:16 patriots that came up and know gave me a hug and took a selfie. I could feel how much Charlie meant to you guys and how much he's still present in your hearts and in this movement and certainly at
7:28 this event. But you know that speech was so important because of the all of the storylines that were going into the the event and then obviously following the event through through the week. He
7:40 just added that moral clarity, and it underscored for me, Blake, that this is a politician that's not afraid to, you know, really declare the moral center of the
7:52 conservative right and to do it forcefully, to do it articulately articulately. And, I I just felt so uplifted by that. And I felt like, you know, for all of the noise and all the
8:03 contentiousness of the last few days, it was like that was the way to end it. JD Vance brought the clarity that the movement needed. And if you really go back and watch that speech where he talks about getting rid of
8:14 racism and, the DEI, anti meritocracy, and saying it's okay to be you don't have to apologize for being white in the country, you don't have to apologize for being Asian in the country, that we are a Christian nation,
8:25 that we are we are a very diverse coalition, but we are pulling in 1 direction. I genuinely think it was historic. It was important, and it's going to be looking
8:36 back this moment that all of us can look to and say that was the moment where things really began to crystallize again.
8:43 Yeah. I I mean, how about we let let's play 1 30.
8:47 The fruits of true Christianity are good husbands, patient fathers, of great things, slayers of dragons. Yes,
8:58 men who are willing to die for a principle if that's what God asked them to do. Because so many of us recognize
9:10 that it is better to die a patriot than live a coward.
9:18 I think that was the biggest applause line of his speech, was was that line. It's almost too bad we cut it off there, but it it was a good line. It really crystallized what Charlie stood for, and I think
9:31 that's gonna- that's gotta be the glue that binds the movement together in this year and probably the years to come. The legacy of Charlie, that- that great coalition builder, that great event planner, that
9:43 great, speaker, that great show host, that great man. And I think that was the biggest thing about Am Fest was that we got the opportunity to spend 4 days remembering him.
9:54 Yeah. Well said, Blake. That's a that's perfectly said. Hey, everybody. This is Andrew Colvet, executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show. Berna is proud to continue supporting Charlie Kirk's mission and
10:06 the important work of Turning Point USA because empowering Americans to defend their freedoms begins with protecting their families and their communities. The Berna less lethal launcher looks like a firearm but it isn't
10:17 1. It fires powerful chemical irritant and kinetic projectiles that can stop a threat in its tracks giving you the time and space you need to get to safety.
10:27 And now you can hear from Charlie in his own words. Berna is about preventing tragedy and preserving life without the consequences of using lethal measures. It's legal in all 50 states, requires no background checks, and
10:38 over 500000 units are in the hands of responsible citizens and law enforcement. Berna can be shipped directly to your door. I've personally tested the Berna pistol and can vouch for its effectiveness and its ease of use.
10:49 Be prepared, be confident,
10:51 be safe. Go to Berna, b y r n a dot com. That's Berna dot com, and see why tens of thousands of Americans are choosing Berna for peace of mind. Blake, did
11:03 you get any sleep during this event? I feel like I got, like, 5 hours of sleep. I am my mom did that thing again where she's like, you look tired. And I'm like, I know, mom.
11:13 I I got a I got a medium amount of sleep, I think.
11:17 A medium?
11:17 Now I'm remembering how Charlie said he he would get 8 or 9 a night. Did he do that during AmFest? It it sounds hard to believe. But
11:25 No. But you know what? He he would he would still really discipline. I tried. Don't get me wrong. I tried. But it was, you know, you wake up early. You got 48, urgent things to get done. And and by the way, I just wanna
11:36 say that the the team, the the Turning Point team, the events team, I have I've gotten just overwhelmed, inundated with people saying that was, the the the just how
11:47 positive they are, how helpful they were. Everybody has an interaction with a Turning Point staff member at these events and they need something and they get help and there's just nobody like it. Nobody in the space does
11:58 this. And these are like from top to bottom the kids that you know, just got hired, know, or to the top level staff. There is so much just grassroots
12:10 humility, and this is a this is an event to serve the base, to serve everyday Americans. If you walk around those halls, it's just average, everyday Americans that love their country, that are there to make sure
12:22 that the the movement is in a good place, that they wanna honor Charlie, honor his memory. And it's just it's just we the people, man. This event is just we the people. Blake, we do have that clip that
12:34 you wanted, I believe. Set it up for us from JD Vans.
12:37 Alright. It's just we're trying to figure out what America's identity is. We're trying to figure out what the rights identity is, and that's what a big theme of the event was. And Charlie would
12:49 always want to be searching for positive identifications. You don't define the Right by what things offend you, or what things you disagree with, or what things make you angry.
13:01 The best way to build a durable coalition is to find positive shared things that can unite different peoples. And J. D. Vance made a case for 1,
13:13 Charlie would agree with, we would agree with, America as it's not a nation where everyone is Christian, but it is a Christian nation. Let's play 1 71.
13:21 More than any time I can recount recount, people are talking about American identity and figuring out what it is that unites us. But I wanna say something here. Only
13:33 thing that has truly served as an anchor of the United States of America is that we have been, by the grace of God, we always will be a Christian nation.
13:59 And he continued for a bit after that, and elaborated on what he meant. It wasn't just a throwaway line. He talks about that you not everyone in America is Christian. Many follow other religions.
14:11 As we know, his own wife is not a Christian. But it's that America is it's built on this bedrock of Christian values, that that it undergirds all of American history, it
14:22 undergirds its founding documents, it's what drove America to become the greatest nation in the world. It's what makes America such a desirable nation today. And even if you are not Christian, you live in a world
14:34 that com- is completely pervaded by those Christian values, and that the preservation of them is central to keeping America great. And I think he made a very strong case for that.
14:46 Yeah. You know, he says Christianity is America's creed, the shared moral language, from the revolution to the civil war and beyond. And I thought that was way to sum it up because, you know, we've
14:58 we've been talking about what is an American a lot on this show. Charlie was talking about it, and he was contemplating that that notion a lot. And we, you know, we played clips or not clips, we showed
15:10 quotes from Teddy Roosevelt talking about what they were believed in American to be in the early 1900s. That idea is something that we have to contend with
15:20 generation after generation, especially after the mass migration that we have absorbed as a country over the last 40 years. And as I think especially poignant was that moment because
15:33 we do have a lot of a lot more people in this country that are not Christian. Church attendance rates have dropped among those who used to be Christian. Right? That come from Christian families and heritage and
15:43 backgrounds. And so for him to go out there and to state definitively, I think especially given the fact that his own wife is not a professing Christian, was a powerful, powerful moment, and it
15:55 truly is uniting if you let it and, if you let it be because it doesn't matter if you profess that same faith. You are drawn to this country because of the freedoms that are afforded us by the fact that our
16:06 moral framework, our laws, our customs are built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ and the Christian faith. And that's something that we can never lose sight of. That's something that Charlie never lost sight of.
16:18 We are a Christian nation, and amen, yes and amen, and may it always be that way. So here here at JD Vance, again, the moral clarity is astounding. Candles were
16:30 lit on Bondi Beach by families, by children, by people of faith to celebrate a festival of light, a festival from bible times, 1 that Jesus himself celebrated. People gathered with hope seeking unity and
16:42 comfort in tradition, but instead of light, there was darkness, violence, fear, hatred showing itself at a time meant for prayer and rejoicing. Times like this remind us that even with the
16:54 ceasefire in Israel, Jewish people are being targeted simply because of their faith. And times like this remind us why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews exists, to stand in the gap providing safety and
17:05 security to God's people. The fellowship brings together Christians and Jews to be a light to suffering Jews in Israel, the former Soviet Union, or wherever the needs are greatest. Together, we can make a real difference
17:17 in the lives of those who need hope the most. Your gift today will help provide the security that God's people so desperately need. Visit urgent ifcj dot org. That's 1 word urgent ifcj dot org or call now
17:29 at 8 6 6 3 3 8 IFCJ. That's 8 6 6 3 3 8 4 3 2 5. Blake, we have to get into,
17:42 the big surprise guest yesterday that I'm as as I'm, you know, going through social media right now, it seems the whole world is still talking about, and that is, of course, Nicki Minaj on stage with Erika Kirk.
17:54 It was a pretty profound moment, I have to say. You know, there was a lot of you know, people were guessing. Was it Elon Musk? Was it was it gonna be some other person? Was it gonna be
18:06 POTUS himself? Actually, the president called in, when Don Jr. Was on stage, and that was a a really special moment. But, we had even more surprises in store, that, of course, was Nicki Minaj. Some people might
18:18 kind of scratch their head a little bit and go like, oh, Nicki, you know, what's, you know, what's why would she be invited to something like this? Well, I'll tell you why because Nicki Minaj has shown a lot of courage.
18:29 Actually, she obviously she's lived a life that I'm not here to endorse or, say is is the model for young women, But she showed a lot of courage and more recently she's been speaking out and advocating for the
18:41 persecuted church in Nigeria and helping get even the US government to take action on our brothers and sisters in Christ that are suffering devastating losses, devastating attacks, and
18:53 murder. It's persecution in the truest sense of the word. And so, you know, I was honored that she agreed to come on stage. What I was struck by Blake, and I'd be curious to get your thoughts on this is, you know,
19:04 is a huge rap fan that you are, is she she that was a joke in case people are wondering.
19:11 Yeah. The the radio viewers can't see my grimace right now.
19:15 Yeah. Exactly. No. I'm definitely not a rap fan either, I have to say. But, you know, I I do appreciate somebody in her position that's willing to to have to have the courage to speak out and advocate
19:26 for things that are unpopular in her position to advocate for, to cut against the grain. I was very impressed also with just the depth of her wisdom, Blake. I I said to her backstage, I said, I have to
19:38 be honest. I was surprised at how I was riveted by what you said, how I was hanging on every word that you said because it felt like you have wisdom that only comes through like kind of a hard knock life only through
19:49 hard fought wins and and courage and a lot of up in in the face of a lot of opposition. That's the only time you know somebody can really drop truth on you and it and it kind of makes you sit back and you're
20:01 like you earned every ounce of this wisdom the hard way, and you can you can feel that. So what was your take, Blake? And then we'll play some of our clips.
20:08 Well, I think let's get into the clips first. I think that's what people who may have missed it wanna see. We have quite a few, but let's just start with 1 29.
20:17 I've performed for crowd huge crowds all around the world. And no matter how many songs I do on that
20:29 stage, it didn't mean as much as this because this is a direct link for younger people.
20:41 This is a direct link between young people and God.
20:48 That was a good 1. And let's let's see. How about let's just start let's go into 1 24.
20:56 So why now have you have you been involved with speaking about politics? What was kind of the The turning for you. Yes.
21:07 What was the turning point? I just got tired of being pushed around. Sometimes you just get tired of it, and then you realize, wait a minute. I have
21:19 something inside of me that's stronger than what's out there. That's right. So when you've had enough, you realize, wait a minute. This why do I
21:31 even care about these people and what they think? Who are they? They don't even know who they are. So I'm not going to I'm not gonna back down anymore. I'm not gonna back
21:43 down ever again. Amen.
21:46 Any others you wanna do, or should we hit dive into it?
21:49 Yeah, dude. I just wanna make a comment really quick. You know, I I was talking about this with Tyler Boyer and, you know, this is a position that Erica Kirk has not been placed in a whole lot, honestly, where she's the
22:00 interviewer on stage. And and it was like, you know, she was a she was a mix between, you know, Barbara Walters and, I I don't know, and and and sort of, just a godly
22:11 representation of a woman of Christ. I mean, it was really amazing. And then, of course, I mean, I I don't wanna call it the elephant in the room, but, you know, Nikki said something kind of awkward when she was about to
22:23 praise JD Vance. And, you know, she called I she was trying to give a compliment to the vice president because she had just complimented president Trump. She went and complimented J. D.
22:34 Vance, but she used kind of a a very awkward word in that setting. Right? I'm sure I'm sure, blue sky went, crazy with it. But Erica Kirk then covered over it with such
22:46 grace and with such poise. I was sitting back there. I mean, honestly, I got I was like, what's gonna happen next? And then Erica completely made it okay.
22:58 And I was just so I was so impressed, you know, because again, you know, if Charlie's put in those kind of situations, he was he was pro. He knew exactly how to handle it and roll with it. But I think Erica did as well
23:08 as anybody in the whole entire world could have done with that moment. And it didn't even it, like, in the end of the day, it didn't even matter. And I was just so impressed with her. So, but here here was some other
23:18 things that she did that ended up playing into JD's, Vance's speech later when JD was talking about it's okay to be a white American. It's okay to be an Asian American. You don't have to talk around the color of your
23:28 skin anymore in Trump's America. Let's go ahead and play cut Nick or 1 37. This is Nicki Minaj.
23:35 If as black women, we felt that we were not being represented and not being
23:48 admired for our beauty, if we felt like that as black women, why would we want to do that to other women? Amen. Why would we now need to make other people
24:00 downplay their beauty so that we can feel no. That's not how it works. I don't need someone with blonde hair and blue eyes to downplay their beauty because I know
24:12 my beauty. Do you understand? It doesn't bother me that a woman feels and says that she's beautiful. Amen. Why shouldn't she feel that? Why
24:24 have we gotten to a point where certain colors or certain kinds of people have to be afraid of loving themselves and loving the way they look? Like, it's isn't that
24:35 wild? Yeah.
24:37 Yeah. The mess this the message of everybody is equal before God, and we need to stop attacking people for, you know, this anti white sentiment. She hit it right on the head, and as a black woman doing that, as a
24:49 rapper doing that, I thought it was a pretty profound moment of moral clarity, Blake.
24:52 Yeah. It was it was strong. I did like also, you know, you mentioned the dynamic between her and the vice president where I think J. D. Vance said he was worried that Nicki Minaj would think he looks like the the J. D.
25:04 Vance meme Memes. Face that we've used. And he said he was glad she didn't, but I think it actually would have been funnier if she did. I it would have been a good clip. She walks in and she's like, you look different
25:15 from what I was expecting. But can't can't win them all. Should we dive into should we get into Rob Schneider? I think that was 1 of the big favorites of people
25:24 Yeah. Rob, I the event. Was 1 of the people I heard most about, most of the feedback about. Yeah. Absolutely.
25:29 Yeah. You know, it someone pointed out that he was really good because he's a comic. Comedians, they need to know when something is discongruent because that is what drives comedy, but then as a result, they also know
25:41 what congruence is. They know how to make a good serious point. And I've always been very impressed with him when we've had him on the show. He's very good at speaking to faith topics and so on. And,
25:54 he gave a very good testimony about, Charlie and about the attacks against him and attacks against all of us, let's play 1 41.
26:02 The left is trying to reframe Charlie into something he wasn't, and by extension, all of us. Extremists, Nazis, fascists, white supremacists.
26:14 By taking moderate people with views held by the majority and turning them into monsters hides the real monsters among us. So when actual extremists show up, people can't tell the difference
26:26 anymore. Now here's the warning. If the right doesn't learn from the left's mistakes, if we start embracing our extremists the way the left embrace theirs, we'll go down the same path they did.
26:39 And another 1, because it's very quick, 1 42.
26:42 Charlie Kirk was only interested in the pursuit of the divine truth and love of family and country and freedom and saving the republic.
26:52 It was a good testimony, and I like I like that line about having to learn from the left because I think I think that's a lesson we do need to take in, that we have to remember. 1 reason we're blessed enough to
27:04 be here is that the left had a lot of wild radicals that they indulged and indulged and indulged, and then it boiled over. And I guess we should be grateful that it derailed their
27:16 movement. But I remember being there in 20 19, 20 20, 20 21, and people saying, Yeah, you have to get used to the woke moment. That's going to be the rest of our lives is going to be totally dominated by these people.
27:28 And I think he gave a very good spiritual perspective on that.
27:32 Yeah. Blake, I I I think what was really hashed out again, everybody's got an opinion. Everybody's like, no. We need to shut down these people and block them out. And I thought that's why I thought J. D. Vance's speech
27:42 was so critically important because it gave that moral clarity, that leadership the final speech of the event. It kind of made it all make sense. It crystallized everything and synthesized everything that people had just
27:54 experienced over the last 4 days. But what we are trying to do, what Turning Point's always been about, what Charlie's always been about is finding that dominant center, that core center of the movement, and that that is
28:06 big enough and broad enough and dynamic enough, energized enough to win. Right? To win those kind of tough fights that we're gonna have in 20 26, 20 28. So where is that dominant
28:17 center of the movement? That center cut. And I feel like that was what Rob Schneider was getting at. That was what Glenn Beck was getting at. That was what Jesse Waters was getting at. Greg Gutfeld. And of course, JD
28:28 Vance. And then, you know, so it's like you're gonna have people on either end of that center cut feeling like it needs to go that way more, feeling like it needs to go this way more. But what we what we what you saw
28:40 and what Charlie was always so genius at was finding where that dominant core is, and I feel like we really landed in that good spot.
28:47 Well, I think I I I like all of the clips we got from from him. So let's let's do another Rob 1, which I think laid that out well, 1 43.
28:54 I don't know about you, but when I voted November fifth 20 24, I voted for closed borders. I voted for affordable groceries. I voted for lower
29:05 gas prices. I voted for no more censorship. I voted for no more men in women's
29:12 sports. And
29:19 I also voted to blow up small boats off the coast of Venezuela.
29:30 What I like best about that is he he is basically saying, I voted for the things that president Trump actually promised to do during the campaign. Because I think so much resentment ends up being driven by people who
29:41 they they decide they wanted things that weren't the campaign issues that everyone agreed on even a year ago.
29:47 Yeah. I mean, here's the big takeaway, Blake. Twitter is not real life. Go to a Turning Point event and find out.
29:55 This is Lane Schomberger, Chief Investment Officer and founding partner of YREFI. It has been an honor and a privilege to partner with Turning Point and for Charlie to endorse us. His endorsement means the world to
30:07 us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Turning Point for years to come. Now, hear Charlie in his own words tell you about YREFI.
30:15 I'm gonna tell you guys about YREFI dot com. That is y r e f y dot com. YREFI is incredible. Private student loan debt in America totals about 300000000000 dollars. YREFI is refinancing distress or defaulted
30:27 private student loans. You can finally take control of your student loan situation with a plan that works for your monthly budget. Go to YREFI dot com. That is YREFI dot com. Do you have a co borrower? YREFI can get them
30:37 released from the loan. You can skip a payment up to 12 times without penalty. It may not be available in all 50 states. Go to Y Refi dot com. That is y r e f y dot com. Let's face it. If you have distress or
30:49 defaulted student loans, it can be overwhelming. Because of privacy loan debt, so many people feel stuck. Go to Y Refi dot com. That is y r e f y dot com. Private student loan debt relief y
31:01 refi dot com.
31:04 You know, it is not every day that, you get 31000 grassroots activists in a space. I mean, are door knockers, these are phone bankers, these
31:16 are precinct committee men, these are the grassroots volunteers that make the whole country work. They are the firewall to freedom. And 1 of the things that I don't think online you get as much because get
31:28 the sort of more intense statements made by some high profile people, know, some of the inviting or the division or whatever. 1 of the things I don't think people appreciate enough, Blake, was just
31:40 how much Christian faith was shared on that stage and within the the people attending the event. And 1 of the best moments, I believe, is when Matt Shaw, who placed third base for the
31:51 Chicago Cubs just a few weeks before Charlie was murdered. I was with Charlie at Wrigley Field, and we got to hang out with Matt. Matt is a was a neighbor of Charlie's in the off season in Phoenix. And he came and
32:03 he got a really amazing question. Let's go ahead and play it. Great he gave a great answer. 1 72.
32:09 How do you share Jesus with your fellow teammates?
32:14 The best thing that I can do isn't to talk to them and and disciple them, but it's to show what my beliefs look like in my life. And sometimes it's not a conversation, but it's simply
32:26 the light that you shine around to other people. And because of how much love you have for other people and for Jesus, it's gonna show them, hey, Maybe this is something I'm interested in.
32:38 Maybe this is something that can provide me fulfillment in my life. And I hope that for everyone, and I hope it for you, Cam, then
32:46 Just a just a beautiful moment, really heartfelt, really simple.
32:49 It's great. It's great. And I I'm looking at the same people who I'm looking now online at the same people who freaked out that he went to the memorial. And, of course, they're freaked out he went to this in the off
32:58 season. They're just there's some really hateful, crappy baseball fans out there, but I'm I'm
33:03 very glad we have him in our corner. The loudest critics probably have very sad lives. That's what I've concluded.
33:10 Very, very sad.
33:11 Blake, you know, this grandma genie from Chico, not to be confused with another Not
33:17 to be confused with Chino. Totally different California towns. We have SoCal versus NorCal.
33:23 The I mean, this was an amazing amazing story because she gets accosted as she's working at Target. She's was retired. She came out of retirement, we found out, to be because she loved working with
33:35 people. And here she is at Target wearing a red, freedom shirt with Charlie's name on it, gets accosted, said that she's a racist, said that she's all these terrible things, and she just
33:47 handled it with such grace and humility. And, of course, the Internet went wild wondering if we were gonna have Genie at Turning Point. And, I mean, I had reached out to her, multiple other people. Glenn Beck had reached
33:58 out to her, Jack Posobic and Benny Johnson. And so we were gonna get Jeannie at AmFest. There was come hell or high water, we're gonna get Jeannie to to AmFest. And there's a beautiful moment here withShow more
