One Day To The Anniversary

0:00My 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 the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam everybody. You've got to stop sending your 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 church 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, use me. Buckle up everybody. Here we go. Go. Noble gold investments is the official gold sponsor of the Charlie Kirk show.

That is noblegoldinvestments.com. All right, welcome everybody. It is September 9th, 2026. And I think as I'm just sitting here getting ready for the show, it strikes me that one year ago today, we were just going about our business the way that we always had. And we had no idea what the next day would entail. And that's a heavy thing to think about, I will tell you. Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of losing Charlie. And so this whole week, we have devoted to remembering him. And what his legacy means and what that means for the country. And so many of the people that loved him and knew him. One of those people is Anna Palina Luna, Congresswoman from Florida,

2:02who is part of Charlie's legacy as well. And she joins us right now from Dallas. She's at the RNC there. APL, it's good to see you. You are part of Charlie's legacy as well. And I wanted to start today's show off. You are in Congress, you're doing a great job there. Charlie was so proud of how hard you were working, how you read the whole rulebook before you even... It's got to be a long book. Yeah, he was so proud that you did the work to actually understand the way that your new job in Congress at the time worked. And he just, I remember him talking about that a lot. Like nobody knows what they're doing there, especially as freshmen, but you did. And you've been using the rules. And anyways, he was proud of you. And I want you to know that. Tell us about the first time you met Charlie. At the first time I met Charlie, who was actually at the Young Women's Leadership Summit. And so I didn't know at the time, but he was scouting me for a position as a national Hispanic Outreach Director with Turning Point, USA. And I will never forget, I'm like, this is really weird.

3:02I just went to the summit. And now, Jesse Waters is reaching out and come to find out it was actually Charlie that had pitched me to Jesse's to basically see if I could do media. And really fulfill the role. And I'll never forget. But literally the day before I was supposed to leave to go to medical school, Charlie called me and offered me the position. And actually one of my most fondest memories is actually you're in the video. It was also Tyler. But it was the day before the 2022 election. And so Barack Obama had just dropped a robocall on me for my opponent. And Charlie came down into this massive event in Pinellas County. And we packed it out and then the next day one. So that was kind of the cool turning point alumni to Congress. I remember. Yes, seeing you and your husband backstage at that event. Yes, that was great. We should remember. I mean, 22 was a tough election year. So he was very proud that he had your win as something to celebrate. Yeah. What was otherwise a tough year. Yep. That was great. And so, you know, you spent a lot of time with Charlie.

4:03It's a lot of those clips that, you know, the people play. I mean, there's that famous one where he's wearing the ice hat. And he's, you know, the gal comes up and says, why are you? Yeah, there are only two genders. Yeah, provey, rock. So, but you're in a lot of these clips. And people say, you know, they say, you know, that's one of the most important things. That's one of the most famous clips when Charlie says we talk because if we don't then that's when violence happens. And so I always see you there. And I remember you guys were doing table and tell us about your time with Charlie. Well, I remember. I mean, that was one of the first events that I had done with him. And we literally were in Portland, Oregon, and really the belly of the beast. I remember this was during the quote unquote summer of love. So they had all the antifa rights right in Portland. I was there with him. And I actually remember at that time, I was asking because, you know, people get pretty upset. And I think actually in that segment, you can see a woman like actually grabs his hat and runs away with it. And just like gets really up close and directly engages with him. And I remember asking him, you know, are you at all concern? Like this is kind of sporty, you know, you're a young kid.

5:04But, you know, I just got out of the military and, you know, it's just interesting to kind of see that lens of perspective, bringing the dialogue to a college campus that really was stifling a lot of the speech that they should be encouraging, right? And so I actually attribute a lot of what Charlie did to really opening up these discussions, especially for conservative and Republican leading students on pretty liberal campuses. And then I think that was also to when turning point had the professor watch list. And so it really has evolved. I think Charlie's really vision for what the organization was doing was engaging young people. But, you know, I posted this yesterday in that Charlie, I think 100% was going to run for president. And I think he would have been president. And I think that the infrastructure that he built with turning point was something that could help continue his legacy of sharing, you know, the debate, sharing these ideas. And, you know, even if you don't agree, being able to have the respectful conversation, you're seeing that, especially on the left, increasingly dwindling. You're seeing kind of this rise of assassination culture. And, you know, between colleagues and conversations in the Hill and in the chamber.

6:08And the more moderate Democrats are, you know, understanding that that's not something that is, you know, good for anyone. And that they have to deal with this issue within their own party. And so all I can say is that I know, you know, this is obviously especially for the family for Erica. And for us, you know, a very sad time also to I choose to focus on a lot of the positive memories that I have with Charlie. And, you know, some of his wit about him, but I, you know, I will never forget that time. And also to how hard he worked to get president Trump reelected. Yeah. And that's really well said. I think that, you know, to Blake's point, we think about Charlie as kind of this serious political activist. And, you know, 2022 was a tough year. It was actually a turning point year because when we decided to really put our weight behind the Chase the Vote project and start canvassing ballots and getting people out to the polls ourselves low propensity people. But he was also so much fun. And that's the part that people don't know like his sense of humor was dry, but it would just have you rolling if you were in private with it.

7:13It was very distinct, I will say. Yeah, he had a very unique sense of humor, but it was so Charlie that it was when he was able to focus and just be with Charlie, you know, when you're with him in that way, have you just, you know, curling over because your stomach hurt. It would make you laugh that hard. Do you like the personal side two minutes before the break here? What aspects did you witness from Charlie that maybe the the world isn't aware of? Well, so Charlie yes, he was like this larger than life personality. Obviously, a great friend, you know, husband, son, all of those things. But also to he just really loved politics for the sport of it, right? He genuinely like when we were having the drag out fight with speaker, then McCarthy for his nomination to be speaker. I remember Charlie called me, he goes, okay, tell me what's actually happening because there is all this, you know, noise, especially on, you know, various outlets saying that, you know, the 20 of us were being obstructionist. And we are preventing the house from moving forward with its business. And we had just gotten this majority and how could we be such an obstructionist?

8:14And then I explained it to him, he goes, okay, I got you. A lot of times when these things would happen, he would call me directly to really kind of see what's happening. And then he would be calling other people as well to make sure that, you know, the advice that he was giving, the messaging that he was sharing, and then also to, I think, the council to the president was good sound advice, and that it wasn't being skewed in any which way. But I'll never forget, you know, he was down with me, and I'll never forget that because that was the year that I won in 2022. And he was kind of almost like giggling backstage because it was such a big event. It was a really big deal for turning point, obviously. He also too, by the way, worked harder than the party did to get me elected. And so when I did end up winning, it was a big deal. And of course, that night we knew that we were going to win. The energy was there. You could tell just by how much he was hyping up the crowd, Benny was there. But it was a really good, I think, grassroots team. And it really took, I think, turning point into from, you know, being pushed out by the R&C to then being embraced. That's such a good point. I mean, and everything happened so quickly. You know, we launched the Charlie Kirk show in 2019.

9:14And nationally syndicated radio show almost barely a year later in October of 2020. Then took to Real America's V8 voice, it became a TV show in 2022. So everything in Charlie's life was accelerated timelines. And so he starts turning point. And then you, but in 2022, people forget you were the first alumni to be elected as a sitting member of Congress. And that was a huge, huge breakthrough for the organizations. So let's talk about the state of the movement since we've lost Charlie. I think one of the things that people have really come to appreciate about him was he was the glue that kept so many different parts of the coalition together. When it comes to what you're seeing, I don't know, in DC and the craziness up there. Have you felt that loss and do people, do people talk about it that this was, this is now feels different without Charlie or what's the spirit of it? Yeah. So I think Charlie was a coalition builder. And when I think about really how strategic it was for, you know, him to be assassinated the way that it was.

10:21What I realized is that there's very few people that can kind of go in and out literally of the White House or through the halls of Congress and then maintain that genuine passion and association with the grassroots movement and then be able to do what he was doing specifically with them hosting rallies going to college campuses and really understanding how those two are very important pieces alongside the influencers. What I've realized though is that there tends to be and I think it's really ever since really his assassination. This doomer perspective and what I would say is Charlie, even when, you know, we were in some of the darkest times during COVID-19 or really when Biden was weaponizing and they're going after President Trump and, you know, starting really after the 2020 election. Charlie was not the type of person that would just throw in the towel and he was not a pessimist. He would figure out ways to really fix the problem and then also to he wasn't someone that would just sit by and complain about it and then not take action.

11:21And that's why his organization, that's why his legacy, the amount of people that he recruited identified influenced really, you know, whether it was people now in office, whether it was influencers, whether it was media personalities. His legacy is still continuing today and so what I would always tell people is, you know, there's there's a group of people on the internet. It doesn't matter what you do. They're just never going to be happy. And this is not just on the right. It happens on the left as well. And you have to take yourself outside of that and think bigger, right? Think about the influence of what you have the ability to control and how we can be good stewards of this country. And I think, you know, I probably end up coming back and talking about this, but we're seeing a lot happen right now about how what is the United States look like 10 years from now. With the rise of AI, what do we have, you know, to protect so you know, there's privacy concerns. How can Congress affect that? Can Congress affect that? And so I think, you know, as far as legacy is concerned, the one thing Charlie always put for first was God family and country. And I think having those principles moving forward, keeping that in perspective and understanding that we need to think bigger than just ourselves and how we can preserve this great republic.

12:29I think it's something that we should all consider. It's such a good point. Charlie was always a happy warrior. He was always solutions oriented. And when you go online and something it's become a repeat theme on the show. Is there so much doom and gloom. There's so much blackpilling. If people are upset about one little thing, Charlie could be upset about different things. He would privately, you know, you know, hand ring and get frustrated about, you know, some politician to X or some leader did why. And then he would focus in, he would zero in on the solution and how to message through it and how to be a part of the solution. And that is something that was so critical to him. I mean, Blake, you make this point all the time. I should let you chime in here on this. He was such a, I was talking to Mikey about this that Charlie the secret to so much of it. Why he's such a success. Why he was such an icon to so many people. It was so basic that most of us, we can see a problem. And then we complain about it on X or complain about it in person or just stew over it. And then I'm like, we, we spotted the problem. Why can't someone solve it?

13:32Charlie's approached everything was spot problem, ask himself, okay, how is that problem fixed? And then the next key thing he would then immediately go and try to do something about it. And just that simple extra step of agency repeated hundreds, thousands of times over his life turned him into this tremendous figure. And sometimes it was a small thing. How do I make my organization grow? Sometimes it was a big thing. We mentioned 22. Oh, this election was a disappointment. Well, why was it? Oh, we apparently we, we didn't have enough early voting. How do we change that? I guess I just have to build a giant early voting operation. Someone's got to do it. We got to get APL in Congress. So let's go to Florida and do a big rally. 100% 100% and you know, the one thing that I also remember him talking about a lot is how turning point was going to be useful and effective in creating that brick wall right dead center in the middle of the United States to help with, you know, the 2028 election. The elections moving on forward. And I think Charlie's ability to really key into young male voters, especially was incredibly important. So look, he left an incredible legacy that some people can't even accomplish in their entire lifetime in very short years.

14:42And we have to continue that. And that means funny solutions. That means getting involved. That means helping turning point action. Other organizations that are actually boots on the ground. And what I would say is that his organization is still going to go forward. You guys are already doing it currently and identifying and getting good conservative members of Congress elected that really I think hold true to what that ideologies Charlie wanted and promoted were. But ultimately it's everyone's responsibility to continue to continue that legacy. And so I choose to focus on the positive. I hope that and I pray for Erica and the kiddos every single day. But ultimately it's going to be our responsibility to carry on forward. And I think that you'll see even just today. There being a midterm convention kicking off today. I know that Charlie would have been here speaking. I know that he would have been at the White House for the UFC fire. And I know that he would have been, you know, doing everything that he can to ensure that people like mom Donnie, something that he predicted years prior with the rise of DSA and socialism on college campuses. He called this literally back in 2018 when people thought it was crazy. I remember the initial catch phase of socialism sucks. That was really turning points to main motto. And he identified it early on. And so we have the blueprint. We just need to put it into effect now what he visioned for this country.

15:57Well, I know I speak for a lot of people and I say we're more confident in that because you are in the position you are APL you're holding it down. You're always given a hard time to the people that stand in our way as voters and as the grass roots. And you really have become a voice for the grass roots and the base. And we appreciate you and we appreciate making time. I know it's a busy schedule there at the RNC. So thank you for for making this a priority honoring Charlie remembering Charlie and your part of his legacy and and that's a really special thing and a really powerful thing. So God bless you APL.

Another man that teaches so much about why America is great is Dr Ben Carson he joins us now the American cornerstone Institute he founded that and he's a great American you know him as a great doctor.

18:05But also a great political leader and a great speaker Dr Carson it's so good to have you thank you for making the time to remember Charlie with us this week. Thank you Andrew it's always good to be with you and thank you for keeping the organization moving forward we appreciate it. Yeah thank you God bless you and thank you for always being willing to do your part as well I mean people don't understand how much you're doing behind the scenes and you've got your own podcast and you're constantly speaking and touring and you're always willing to help out. And that was something Charlie loved about you you're always when we call you and say Dr Carson we need you to do this event we need a favor you are always like okay i'll make a way for it and that's a tremendous thing I don't know that people know that about you how generous and gracious you are with your time but I hope people appreciate it. Well I'm gracious and generous for it for good causes that's for sure and recognizing the condition of their country is in right now and how important. The turning point is to that turnaround it's absolutely something we all should be eager to get involved but.

19:12Well so let's talk about this we're remembering Charlie you know I started the show out by telling Blake that this overwhelming sense came over me right before we went live that it's tough not to think about that on September 9th 2025 we were living our lives as if you know this was just we're going to continue on it. So I think it's a normal day like any other and then everything changed on September 10th and so you know you spent so much time with Charlie what do you want the world to remember what do you remember when you think about Charlie well I think of somebody who was incredibly intelligent very knowledgeable Charlie read several books every week and I used to really enjoy seeing him spar with people who thought they were intelligent. I thought they were knowledgeable and but he was always gracious he never put people down in front of their faces or in front of an audience he was respectful even though the questions that he asked them made it quite clear that they didn't know what they were talking about but he let them do that to themselves he didn't do it to them.

20:27Yeah he was a he was a socratic method believer and he would he would let other people tie themselves in knots and sort of expose their lack of reasoning by asking repeated questions right and he would let them trip themselves up but yeah go ahead. And he always before we went on stage he always prayed and very earnest prayer he was a true believer and he sought wisdom from God and that's so unusual particularly for young people I think he was a tremendous role model and you saw the crowds that he drew young people were curious about him they wanted to know why did he believe what he believed and he was a true believer. He was having such an impact and he was such an incredible threat to the left and to the left as agenda he understood the left as agenda many people don't and they don't realize that what's happening in our country is a coordinated movement that's been going on for decades and you know I wrote in my latest book the perilous fight about

21:43the congressman her long of Florida who read into the congressional record the 45 goals of communism in America that was 63 years ago Charlie understood that he understood why they were trying to gain control the school systems why they were kind of came control of the teacher unions many of the teacher unions throughout our country are Marxists. Why they were trying to gain control of the media of television of Hollywood so that could actually change the culture and they recognize that there's a method for changing a system like ours which is the reason that cruise Jeff decades ago said that your grandchildren will live under our system and we won't have to go to war to do it because he knew it was possible to infiltrate our society and to attack our faith and our families which are the foundation of building blocks of a great nation that we became and Charlie fully understood that I think President Trump understands that people who understand that become the enemies of those who want to fund the million changes they will do anything they possibly can to do.

23:09And I think that's why Charlie was so focused on young people he was able to speak to everybody but his special mission was for young people and he always knew that we were one generation away from throwing it all away because it can take it can take centuries to build a country as great as America but just one sufficiently bad generation can decide to give it up give it all away burn it all down that that's why he was trying to burn it all down. He warned so much that we had that path mangeonism or mega and what he was speaking to is we can either fix our country's problems and Charlie was a great problem fixer a great problem spotter fixer do the work or you can decide to just blow everything up and complain and he was always so frustrated with people on the left or the right who's response to problems was to just scream and say burn it everything down. He was fighting against nihilism that is in this cynicism that's setting in your thoughts.

24:10He also recognized that if we're going to solve these problems we have to be able to talk to each other rather than just demonizing each other throwing bombs all the time. He wanted to sit down put the facts on the table and then discuss them. I think he also recognized that the most radical left wing person and the most radical right wing person agree on the vast majority of things. And why do we take that 20% of things that they don't agree on and make that always the principal thing? He wanted to start and he frequently started the conversation with leftist by talking about what we agreed with and then move on from there and that was a very wise strategy. Yeah, I mean he was absolutely one of the foremost exorcizers of the first amendment. I think obviously a modern American history but probably throughout American history.

25:13But he was also as you said earlier he would pray before he went up and I didn't actually know that. So I know that we would pray back behind the backstage and behind the scenes. I didn't realize he would do that with you before going up on stage. He was also a Christian martyr and a Christian evangelist. Maybe reflect on that too Dr. Carson. He very much believed in the Bible and every aspect of the Bible which I thought was fascinating. And you know the last few years a lot of emphasis on the Sabbath. Why we need a day of rest. Why we need a day of reflection. A time to really concentrate on our role with our families, on our relationship with God. And if God created us, he knew we needed that. And you know I found that in my own life to be so important. I remember when I was in medical school and of course there are a lot of tests and things that go on.

26:15Big comprehensive exams. And they would usually be on Monday. And I would go to church on the Sabbath. I would go to a choir rehearsal on Friday nights. When there was a big test coming up on Monday and my classmates said, what are you doing? And I said, I'll be fine. And I always was. I think it was great to be relaxed during the stressful period of the examination. And the Sabbath brought that relaxation. So Charlie understood that and he incorporated that into his life. As he did all the other aspects, he didn't pick and choose. Like so many people who claim to be religious. They pick and choose what they find to be compatible with what they want to do. As opposed to what God wants you to do. Dr. Carson, I want to play some clips of you in Charlie at Amfest.

27:16Sat 19. It doesn't matter where your ancestors came from. They came from England. They came from France. They came from Africa. They came from Sweden. They came from India. You're better off here than you would be where they came from. And if our country was all that bad, why are these people trying to get in it? And when they get here, wouldn't they call their relatives? They don't come here. This is a horrible place. This is not what we're saying. We're saying there's still flooding in and record numbers. And that tells you that we have something that is worth fighting for and something that's worth preserving. And that was you. Charlie didn't appear in that frame, but you were seated right next to him having that conversation. The crowd was loving it. I want to keep playing some of these clips of Dr. Carson and Charlie at Amfest. It's just so good. I love seeing these clips with some of our friends together with Charlie. It's just, I just think it's powerful. This is Amfest 2023. And really, Dr. Carson's hitting a central note that Charlie often hit, it's not 22.

28:20Specifically, the students that are facing opposition on campus. You need to go out and you need to speak up. You need to talk about the things that made us into a great nation. Don't be ashamed. You know, so often people just stand in the corner and stare at their feet and hope no one calls them a nasty name. That won't work anymore because we're on the precipice of what kind of country we're going to be. Are we going to be a country that is up for and by the people or upfying by the government? We have to decide that you have to be the missionaries. You have to go out there and do this. And if you don't do it, we're going to be lost. So we, our future, is dependent upon each one of you. And everybody has a sphere of influence. Don't think because you're not Charlie Kirk. You don't have a sphere of influence. You do. And it's much bigger than you think it is. Hey, man. And by the way, if you guys aren't aware, that is Dr. Carson pretty riled up. That's about it. I can tell.

29:21I actually, you know, I know you well enough. That was like, there was a lot of energy in that moment. And when you, you've gone around and you spoke to a bunch of our campuses and you've interacted with our students, you know, the movement's been a little discombobulated over the last year. I'm sure you've seen it. People are feeling the void of Charlie not being there as this kind of glue figure in the movement. What's your message, Dr. Carson, right now? All right. That was 2023. What is your message to them right now? They're confused. Some of their influencers, you know, are, you know, I don't know, praising Vladimir Putin, you know, that they follow online. What's your message to them right now? How do you keep clear and steady and centered in this moment? Well, you have to have perspective and know what's going on. My message is learn who we are, learn the history of your country. You know, you'll find that there's nothing to be ashamed of. There's a lot to be proud of. And that we are not each other's enemies. And then it's okay to disagree about things.

30:22You know, people grow up in different settings. And setting situations are exposed to different things. And we'll have different opinions. But don't shut yourself off and say, I can't discuss that. You can discuss it. And you can work with other people working together. You know, one of the interesting things about our country, early on, people came here from a lot of different places. And in many cases, they didn't speak the same language. You had people in communities of 50 or 100 families. A lot of people speaking this, that or the other, not understanding each other. And yet, despite that, they grew and they thrived. Why was that? It was because they understood one important thing, the common good. That's a phrase that you see often in our founders, the common good. Not what's good for this group or that group or this neighborhood or that neighborhood.

31:24But what's good for all of us? And that unity in that sense of community was a huge factor in the rapid expansion and success of our country. Yeah, I love that. And I think it's true. The shared fabric. And I love how you say that. Given your unique perspective as being growing up in a poor, I think you lived just with your mom, right? Single mother household in Detroit and povished. You had every reason to complain, to look at America with scorn, to be one of those people that tried to tear down this country. And yet look at what you've achieved. And that was largely because of my mother who had an even worse situation than I did growing up in rural Tennessee. Diopoverty bounced from house to house less than a third grade education, married at age 13 trying to escape. And yet she understood that the way out was not to sit around and complain about the system or what people were doing or saying.

32:34The way out was yourself that you were the person who had the most to do what happened to you. And she forced us to read books. I don't want to read books. I want to be play and watch TV like everybody else. But as I started reading those books, particularly about successful people, I began to realize what it requires to be successful. It doesn't require things like your skin color or things that you can't help. It requires things that you are in control of. And I've got to the point where if I had five minutes, I was reading a book. I was always reading. It totally expanded my universe instead of the streets of Boston or Detroit. Now, my universe was the whole planet. And it gave me enormous confidence. I went from the bottom of the class to the top of the class.

33:35And I realized that there wasn't anything that anybody gave to me. But it was taking advantage of opportunities that existed. I could go to the library. We don't have any money. But the library didn't cost anything unless you turn the book in late. So what a great opportunity that was. And what a difference it made. And then I started learning all kinds of things. I go down to Detroit Institute of Arts, which is one of the great art galleries in the world. And I wrote through all those different rooms and galleries. And so I knew all the pictures who painted them, what period it represented, all those kinds of things I learned on my own. And they went on to pay big dividends later on, including learning classical music. Because my wife is a classical violinist. And we have never gotten together. That's not been for my knowledge. Dr. Carson, you are an American treasure.

34:35And your story continues to inspire. It's one of the reasons Charlie loved having you around. And you never gave in to any of the noise. You know, if they were hurling insults at Charlie and they were calling him a racist. And you were always like, let me, let me go on stage with you Charlie. And we'll tell him where to stick it. And I just loved your willingness to always stand shoulder to shoulder with your friends and your allies. And as you said, to be a part of a good cause. And to help Charlie supercharged turning point. It's so many different junctures. And so we honor you because you honor Charlie. And we're grateful for your contribution to Charlie's life and his legacy. And it truly was very important, Dr. Carson. Well, thank you for what you continue to do. We're all part of our march and army here. Benjamin Franklin, when he came out of that Constitution Hall, said when he was asked, what do we have here? Monarchy or Republic. He said a Republic, if you can keep it. In the 250 years, I don't think we have faced a challenge as severe as the one that we're facing right now.

35:41And we all have to recognize that we are in a war for the soul of this country. This is not a time to shrink back because if we do, the other side will fill in the gap. Amen. Dr. Ben Carson, Great American Patriot. One of our heroes around here. God bless him. Midterm elections are coming up and control of Congress is on the line. If there's one thing financial markets hate, it's uncertainty. And uncertainty is exactly what the next few months are going to bring.

At the twilight's last gleaming whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous

37:48fight, all the ramparts leaving us were so gallantly streaming. Here's the hard part. And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. What a moment. What a moment with Charlie Kirk and Rob Schneider singing the national anthem with a bunch of students. It's one of the clips that will just bring a smile to your face. Rob Schneider joins us now. He's a total all star for making time. He is literally on set of a movie right now. And he carved this out. God bless you, Rob Schneider. It looks great, man. I saw him the other day. He did not have that here. Yes, explain yourself.

38:48We're making grownups three right now with Adam Sandler. It's his birthday. Adam's birthday. Tell them happy birthday from him. Thank you, Andrew. And this was how I looked when I met him. So this is what he makes. Making us all look like. And it's his way of not trying to age, I guess. So this was actually a hairstyle that you were rocking in the real world at one point in time. I think five decades ago. Yeah, well, we met in 1988. And it was a thinner version of this. Yes, he's very, very full. I think it looks great. I think it looks great. Rob, you had some really iconic moments with Charlie on campus at our events. You were one of the few guys in Hollywood that were willing to associate publicly with Charlie. And I know that meant the world to him, but he meant the world to you as well. And so tell us about what Charlie Kirk meant to Rob Schneider. Well, first of all, I didn't understand what this was about. I didn't understand the concept of a young person trying to galvanize other young people to do something.

39:53To do something patriotic, to do something for our Lord and for Jesus Christ. I didn't think I didn't know that that was a possibility. And not only was it a possibility, but you had a human being, an American patriot, who loved this country so much and loved his Lord and saved you so much. His goal was to bring people closer to Christ first. His second goal was to preserve this, this, the God given freedoms that were granted to us under the greatest experiment in freedom. The world is ever known. And it just, I just couldn't believe that it was something that existed like that. And he really was, to me, Charlie Kirk was a miracle. I mean, I said, I texted you last night and it's going to make me cry. But I said, you know, Charlie was the closest thing to an angel of anyone I've ever met. I was inspired by him and blown away by him and humbled by him.

40:54How much he had done in his short 31 years. What he has accomplished will last for centuries. I think what we really had, and one of the last texts I had to him and Andrew, you know, you were, you were so much closer to him and known for so many years. And he just, but I was able to really understand the gravity and the depth and the gravitas and the brilliance. And I said to him, you know, in our text, I said, we have, America has someone with the same principles and the same elegant eloquence and the same brilliance of our founding fathers. His name is Charlie Kirk. And he just said, thank you. And it really does, what he did was he was able to dig into what, and remind people, what it was necessary for this, for this incredible institution, for this incredible experiment of American freedom under God, under our creator, what it needs to continue. And that is courage. And that's the one thing, you know, that he asked people and that he asked for me to ask people is one percent more courage a year.

42:03Just one percent. Have that extra conversation. Do that little bit extra to look into your founding fathers. Find out what what John Adams said about this, about this great nation. Look up what, what Thomas Jefferson and what how old he was and, and the age of Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. What they were able to do at a young age, because the idea that's been, you know, the children are being told, these young people are being told that they can't do things, they shouldn't be able to do incredible things. But look what Charlie was able to do in his short life before he was stolen so terribly from us by these leftist liars. I mean, it was an ideology of leftism that, that that murdered Charlie Kirk. It was this lies that he was a racist, he was never a racist. Lies that he was hateful, he was never hateful. He was loving. And there is no proof at all in any of those and any of his statements in any of the videos, but he was anything else, but wanting to hear people who disagreed with him wanting to share his love of Jesus Christ and bring people to the Lord, wanting to share his patriotism and inspire others to get involved because he knew that's what was what was required for us to continue in this incredible gift, God given gift of our freedoms.

43:16And I'm forever changed by Charlie, just as I know Andrew, you are. Yeah, I mean, Blake, myself, everybody that's in this building right now, everybody's on this campus right now has been changed by Charlie in one way, shape, or form or another. And, you know, but you had this amazing gift with Charlie, you, you know, when you were singing that national anthem, you took your moment and you were singing like, fall into the mic. Charlie's just like, look at us. He's loving it, letting you be you and you were a happy warrior alongside Charlie. So you, you, you guys paired so I think it must have seemed strange to people probably like here's Rob Schneider, comedian actor from Hollywood with Charlie Kirk serious political activist guy. And yet you guys had this great chemistry together. Here's another clip of you guys joking around before a campus stop. It's not 37. Hi, I'm Charlie Kirk Rob Schneider and today what are we doing? What you can do it. You can do it. Let's go talk to some kids. Talk to some voters. Let's get these voters voting right now. We'll see you in a bit. Thank you.

44:24Apparently that got 40 million views 40 million according to Ryan. Yeah. And then you know, it's like, people are last. Who was that measured next? Charlie Kirk. You know, it's funny, right? Because Charlie six five. I remember the internet thought he was like at first five, 10. And then they said he was six, one. And there was this whole internet controversy because there's a picture with Trump, who also was six, one. And they were like, why does Trump look so much shorter? He's drinking or he lied about his eye. Actually, I'm writing this op ed. It's going to come out tomorrow, but Charlie was six five. But somehow he even felt bigger than six five. I don't know. Maybe for your band to even more so, but. No, he was a gentle giant. And I would just say that the thing about Charlie that strikes me that puts a smile on my face today was his incredible generosity. And when he said, if you disagree, come to the front of the line. And he meant that. So I saw him do this moderating this event in July of last year, the last time I was with Charlie. And it was, you know, the discussing, you know, a controversial topic. And what to do. But the generosity of these show between two adversaries who were talking.

45:39His goal was to have a peaceful discourse and he keep it calm and respectful. And that's really what he was about. I mean, to me, it's, it's a loss also to the left because you lost somebody who loved you. You lost somebody who loved this country and it would have fought for you just as hard. He didn't have a political leaning bone in his body. He would tell you and Charlie would say, I don't have a problem with liberals. We can have, we can have dinner. We can get together. We can argue. We can have debate. It's leftists that don't want to listen that, that claim tolerance, but are intolerant. The most intolerant people are the ones who speak and demand tolerance of others. But he had a, you know, he had an incredible neck of communicating ideas and doing it in a loving way. And that's the difference between every, every other person in the political realm is because Charlie is doing it for a higher reason. And that what's put, what's puts the pressure on Andrew on you on Blake and myself because we have to take our own egos out of the equation, our own vanity, the own potential to, to think about how we can raise ourselves in an issue.

46:47Charlie was about this, bringing people to Christ first, preserving our freedoms and educating people, bringing them up. And it's a reminder that he always had a higher purpose. And that was for, for, for supporting Jesus Christ and this great nation. And that's a great reminder for all of us as well we need to do as well. Rob, we've talked a lot here and talking with you previously that a lot of tremendous good has come out of Charlie's legacy. I'm looking through our emails. I found multiple emails, people testifying, I got baptized because of Charlie got me over the hump either before or after his martyrdom and other people I know we've seen tremendous good, but we've seen it's like we believe the devil is real. He's going to act where there's tremendous good. He's going to be on that like a fly on honey. We see a lot of evil from the left that they're holding costume contests, Charlie Kirk look alike contests. They're, they're chomping at the bit for tomorrow to ridicule the people who remember him.

47:52But we see another strand of evil as well, which is people have seen the love for Charlie, the love for Charlie's family and they seem to have thought, how can I divert that? How can I make that about myself? How can I ruin that? And so they've attacked Erica. You know who yesterday was saying, Erica wrote this, wrote this op ed. It could have been better written like like just the nasty stuff. We see a lot of people. That's their natural reaction to this. And I guess the floor is yours. What do you make of that sort of attitude people have? I remember M. Scott Peck who wrote, he's the first guy who wrote the road less. He wrote, he's the first self help book. The road less traveled, which was on the self. It was literally the first one that it was, it was on the best cellar list for 25 years. And it was really about a spiritual book written by an atheist who later became a born again Christian. And he said something to me after he became a Christian. I went to his lectures and he said something that that shook me. He said, if the devil exists, he's saying, don't make waves.

49:03Just go along with everything. Why would you want to get involved in this? So yes, evil exists. And you know the devil's greatest trick is to make us think he's not real. And so the fact of the matter is we are in a spiritual war, but it's not, it's not an even 50-50 deal. There is far more good than bad in the world, but good gets that, but the evil does get that attention. And there is, there isn't attack. I mean, for all the people who ever attacked and said Charlie Kirk was a racist, was, you know, hated gay people, which is not factual. There's no factual proof of any of it. What he was, was wanting to law under God and God's laws and loved people and hated the sin, loved the center. But you never had anyone attacking him on the way he looked on where he dressed on, you know, so that's what Eric is having to deal with. And I think that's what Eric is a lovely person who did not ask to be put in this position. She was thrust into it and she has, has, has risen to the job. And I think she is an incredible honor for all young people to realize what you can do when you're thrust in that situation.

50:16She's a wonderful mother. She's a great leader. And she's a wonderful Christian. And so of course these people who are effective and these beautiful people are going to be attacked. It is important that we stand up against it and just know that in the face of this, that there is going to be this rise of evil. There's also going to be a rise and good. And we're going to be, there's going to be challenging for us. And that's why it's so important to heed the words of what Charlie Kirk said was be courageous, stand up and oppose this. And as far as the ugliness that will come tomorrow, we have to know that that is something that that fades and doesn't last. And there's, you know, talk about no borders. Hell has no borders. Heaven does. There's a requirement for heaven. You're either going to get there. And the afterlife, you know, when you're done, you're going to either going to get justice or you're going to get grace. And justice for all of us fall short of the glory of God, all of us too. And or above the grace of Jesus Christ, that's all we have. So you want grace.

51:23And so part of that grace is to just know that and to not take it to heart. And it's hard because, you know, Eric and Charlie were the half my age. And I just know the intensity of what can happen in the social media and the things that truthfully, it's been such a big part of young people's lives. They don't remember what it was like before. But the fact of the matter is, you know, we are, we are going to be persecuted as Christians. We just are. And if you look at what of all the apostles, I mean, they, they, they were, they must have seen something spectacular to, they must have seen something out of this world. They must have seen truly a man who came back from the dead to, to be, to allow themselves to be killed so brutally and to stand up for something and not turn their back against it. And so I think that charge is to us to not turn our back against what Charlie stood for and to stand up for for for our Lord and and stand up for what we can do for our nation.

52:28And that that's the thing that Andrew that was really kind of stunning to me is when you talk to, you know, Frank Turek, who's, I feel like Frank lost the friend and I lost the friend and we ended up with each other. And I'm sorry for Frank that he got me. But I think though that we have to be charged and energized by this and know that there's a calling for us and that calling is to fight for our country. And it's really painful when you learn that you have these pastors, these churches that aren't energizing their congregation to go out and vote. It's like, let's get out there and vote. I mean, that's the difference between what Charlie Warnes about was this, you know, what's what really the danger to America, the biggest danger more than Pearl Harbor, more than 9 or 11 is this Islamic, you know, combining with this, the leftism communism to take down America as Charlie said to slip the throats of Americans.

53:29So of America and that's something that he was really concerned about just literally the day before he died and that's something we should we should be we need to get, you know, the mosques 98% of them vote. And you know, there and we need to get 98% of our Christians to vote so organizing organizing vote. Yeah, Rob, I think what you said is really beautiful. It's not a 50-50 fight. We know who wins this spiritual battle in the end. And how amazing for each and every one of us out there that God chose you for this particular mission. And this is our lot. This is your lot. And Charlie would not want us to shrink back. He would want us to forge ahead. And we have his kids to think about and our kids think about Rob Schneider. God bless you, my friend.

We are joined on set by Cliff Maloney, a regular here, one of our dear friends. And here's the deal. We're talking a lot about what Charlie believed, his legacy, his mission.

55:42But there's nothing more central to his mission than the fact that he was willing to move to operate to take action. Blake, I think, has coined one of my favorite expressions of Charlie or the highest agency person we know. The highest agency person that we've ever met, he was willing to do whatever it took to solve problems and he thought he could be the guy to solve them. That's why we built Chase the vote. That's why we are building out the Red Wall. That's why we partnered with Cliff Maloney and Citizens Alliance. So your reflection on this, you know, as we remember the totality of who Charlie was this week on the one year anniversary. Talk about that. Him in the field, him with the grassroots. I think one of the biggest things that always stuck with me is losers don't legislate. Right. This idea that so many people want to pontificate so many people want to talk about ideas. They want to talk about the principles or legislation they support. The left plays no games. Right. The left understands you must win. You must win. Electurally. If you're going to decide the policies that we live under.

56:45So I always say that Charlie understood the campus effort. He understood the young minds. He understood persuading the next generation because we were losing that battle for 30, 40 years based on the polling. Right. I mean young people were going to the left. And I think Charlie understood that we had to win the hearts and minds of young people, but it wasn't enough. There were so many people that got that but didn't understand that there's a second tier to this. And that tier is winning elections. Not because you just want to win to say you won, but because if you want to dictate the rules that we live under. If you want to understand what it means to actually have an impact, you have to win. But so many people don't realize the work that that takes. Right. And Charlie always said do the work, not that extra door because he understood that if we're going to adapt to the rules, if we're going to compete, we have to fight fire with fire. We have to beat the Democrats at their own game. And I think so much of Charlie's legacy was saying no excuses. We have to do what needs to be done to win.

57:45And I'm hoping that we can live out that legacy, not just in 2026, but obviously moving forward in 2028. Yeah, you know, it's interesting. I've been getting so many comments or requests for comments from like people in the media and it's weird. They want to talk about. Charlie's absence and the felt absence in this midterm race. And you know, what does it mean? Was it mean for young voters? And I'm so like frustrated by that question because of course there is an absence. Of course we all feel the absence. But if you think that Charlie just snapped his finger one day and all of a sudden he knew how to galvanize young voters, like completely mistaken. He started turning point in 2012 and people don't remember after 2020. Guess what they did to Charlie Kirk? They blamed him for that loss. They blamed him for the fact that young people didn't come out for your Donald Trump in 2020. They said turning point smoke and mirrors Charlie Kirk is a great. They did it in 22 as well. They did it. And so what did he do? He kept iterating. He kept trying to figure it out. He kept towing with the formula. And the and that's when we had the big breakthrough. And I believe it started in 2023. We started seeing the campus crowds row. The viral clips started spreading and he started doubling and tripling down on the campus stops. But that took doing figure out the right.

59:01One of the most inspiring things about Charlie we have a natural bias and this is just how humans like to imagine things we like to imagine. Tremendous heroes practically just falling from the sky and they're naturally brilliant and they're able to just do great deeds because they're like Achilles and the L.A. But to your point Charlie was told you know we there was these conspiracy theories that he was sort of like built in a petri dish grown into petri dish by billionaire donors or something like that. It's the exact opposite that what Charlie is such a testament to is what basically any of us are capable of doing that Charlie all was was just that higher level of agency and probably be in 65 but that higher level he always did say slightly. So I'm slightly higher level of agency to say here is what I want to do here is the problem I identify okay what can I now immediately do to try to do that or that's what he had in his office the three things on it I might get the word wrong but it's how can I add value to the world today how can I help somebody today how can I honor God today.

1:00:05Those three questions are what he's always asking himself and then he gets that answer and he he immediately puts it into practice and you do that thousands of times and you are Charlie. There are so many of these political consultants and people in our orbits right some of them might be friends that is extremely rare to be a problem solver to be somebody in the political arena that is actually saying hey listen what is the left doing what are we doing why aren't we doing what they're doing what is working what's missing and coming up with a solution it's much easier to be on autopilot right this is why so many of the GOP consultants and I get in trouble every time I say this they want to do their television and I'm going to do that. They want to do their television ads they want to make their 15% commission nobody wants to have to manage these door to door programs these these ground efforts to to book hotels to do the work that we're doing it's a pain in the rear end right it's so much easier but that was the beauty of Charlie was saying look here's a problem let's think about this from not just a high level but let's get in the weeds right let's go out knock the doors and talk to people and figure out how does this work why is the left doing this but I'm telling you guys nobody did that and I'm going to do that.

1:01:12Nobody did that and even today very few people are willing to look at the problems and then create so you see it's why for example it's why president Trump clearly had so much respect for Charlie he'd mentioned this that there's endless people who will say nice things about the president or will support him you know it's easy to have a lot of sick offense but why he clearly thought Charlie was special is Charlie could say I'll get it done Mr. President and then it went and happened you make that rally happen he would make that get out the vote effort happen you would get that crowd to show up for something on short notice and Charlie and Charlie did that not just for president of the United States he would do it for other candidates he would just do it for businessmen people who wanted to get involved if he told you he would get something done he followed up on that Charlie was a guy who delivered and at a level you know people asked me about replacing Charlie and we all know you cannot do that but I always say it's not just replacing you have to understand the things that he was world class at you have to understand the things that he was one of the best in the world that number one the guy raised over a hundred million dollars a year for an organization do you know how rare that is by itself number two the guy was an advisor to the president of the United States of America that

1:02:23in itself is one person one item that he knocked off that like you know very few people get to do then he had the daily show we're sitting here right now you're talking two hours five days a week used to be three hours you've got the campus tours where he's having these actual debates across the country I mean it goes on and on for the things that he's able to do at a level that nobody else has ever been able to do and he was able to do all of them so when I talk about you know and you mentioned the media they're blowing me up this week to talking about the absence of Charlie and what does this mean and I always say to them you're never going to replace a Charlie Kirk but you have to find pieces of what he did and we have to try to develop leaders that are able to handle that it's a very difficult and I want people to understand so what is turning point doing we have over fifty influencers media personalities students chapter leaders that are all being part of something called pick up the mic and they're going to do over 300 different stops all across the country yeah they're not going to have 3,000 people show up in front of them but they might have a couple dozen they might have a couple hundred and they're going to have those debates and we're going to clip them and we're going to put them you know and you never know like some of those voices might rise to the top and some of the amazing people that we have doing it

1:03:36and we're going to include will wit John Doyle many others right Nick Freitas has been on fire with you exactly so some of these people are really they want to go back out there and it's interesting because some people are like I would never do that because you know what happened to try these guys want to go back out there and have the debates and it's amazing and we have security and we have all that kind of stuff that we can do but the point is if you think about it it's almost like that's 50 people it's not just Charlie that means it's almost like 50 times the work for turning point and we're doing it because we know that we have to we're still doing the campus tour and we're still chasing votes actually even more so than we were before we have more staff this is and I tell people we are light years ahead of where we were in 2024 the system that Charlie help build and this road map that we have towards 2028 building the red wall is going forward it's marching forward in earnest and commit 100 we have a minute left in the second segment but everybody needs to get involved in this here's my big-ass to everybody out there if you're wondering how kind of get involved how can you fight on the way the Charlie would want come join us whether it's here in Arizona Nevada NAHAMPshire Tpaction.com slash 100 Tpaction.com slash 100 look we'll pay for you to come out here we'll put you up in a hotel we've got Tyler Boyer steering the ship here citizens alliance turning point this is Charlie's vision to make sure that we have people on the ground in the key red wall states I want to say that one more time

1:08:07Just visit Charlie for Hillsdale dot com to start learning today. That's Charlie for Hillsdale dot com learn deeply Think clearly lead boldly and carry it forward just like Charlie Cliff why don't you tell people about the races you're looking at this is all an ode to Charlie by the way How how are how are things shaping up everybody's new dooming? How do we be a part of the solution? Yeah, I think being part of the solution is doing the real work right so once again I'm gonna I'm gonna pitch our red wall program which is Citizens Alliance and turning point coming together To do what we would call the real work not the arguing on Twitter not the screaming back and forth not the doomsday So we've got Nevada. We've got Arizona. We've got New Hampshire TP action dot com. You're the east coast guy So tell us about this Tyler will give me some credit for this. We have been a New Hampshire since 2018 Okay, we flipped the New Hampshire State House in 2022 So we've got a patriot as the speaker. It's a tough tough cycle We weren't yeah, it wasn't supposed to happen We've got a patriot in Jason Osborne is the majority leader Jason Osborne is now turning point action endorsed

1:09:12Running for speaker because the current speaker is retiring so we're rooting for Osborne. We've got a hold that majority But here is the biggest sleeper of the 2026 election and Tyler might get mad at me for being a little too loud about this The US Senate race With yesterday, Sanu knew did win the nomination to point action endorsed once again Sanu knew has a shot to flip this seat Here's why it's important if we flip this seat in New Hampshire It becomes almost impossible for us to lose the US Senate now People could argue if it's the worst day in the world But if we flip a blue seat to red it becomes almost impossible for them to have the US Senate So are we doing the work working backwards from 2028 is Charlie always envisioned? Yes, but there are key races you've got Andy Biggs obviously I don't know any bigs right here in Arizona. We've got the governor's race and the Senate race in New Hampshire And obviously Lombardo back up for re-election in Nevada So and we have Wonsisk Amani. We've got Jay Feeley. I mean, there's a lot of I mean the house could come through Arizona as well

1:10:19So that's why we keep saying like be a part of this you get to first of all We're gonna train you up. We're gonna give you a hundred names. This that works You pull the app up on your phone. We deploy you to a part of the town or part of Maricopa or somewhere else and You literally just follow those hundred names you text them you call them you knock on their doors and you work those names And by the way if you're really good and you get through those hundred names you need a hundred more We can do that for you and that is your job 100 if you multiply that time thousands of volunteers you can make a huge difference you could put Andy Biggs into The as a governor because we don't have a governor's mansion in Arizona I always want to use that expression, but we don't but that we could literally turn Arizona to the floor of the West Well, that is what I just want to give people hyped up because if they think oh this is the tough year I'm remembering 2018 we lost a bunch of seats in the house But we actually gained a seat in the Senate because if hero Rick Scott who Unseated and incumbent Democrat Senator in Florida 10,000 votes we also when that governor's race only a few thousand votes think about

1:11:24How much it has helped us nationwide that we eaked out those two wins? That's why we're able to confirm all of those judges that Trump was ramming through in the second half of his term That's why we Basically, so are we able to win in 24 because we weren't pouring resources into Florida? Yeah, because we're able to win it by 20 well and listen L. Sy Ed is down according to the latest polling in Michigan. So you think Michigan new Hampshire, okay? You start piecing together some of these wins and the board starts looking pretty darn good You gotta remember there's way fewer at true like swing districts left So the it's a much harder slog for the Democrats to really claw back huge numbers like we saw in 2018 that the board has changed What other races Cliff do we need to be looking at yeah? I mean listen there's plenty of those congressional races in each of those states that are gonna be in play We've got new Hampshire one Anthony D. Lorenzo who won yesterday There are tons of opportunities, but Andrew I want to double down on one thing you said the commit 100 program The reason it's so cool is if you're tired of politics

1:12:26You think it's all this loud and it's just noise You know out of your hundred people who actually vote right you get assigned to a hundred people and guess what not saying you want to take credit But you also could be held accountable how impactful are you at communicating and driving voters to make sure they show up? So be a part of something right instead of just Screaming into the ether come out to one of these swing states being one of the swing districts and actually make a difference to try to win one of these seats This the the the actual power and control of Congress is going to be determined by just a couple of these seats Whether it's Arizona Nevada or New Hampshire you've got the US Senate races We've got governor races in all of them But if you want to come out here TP action comm slash 100 We're gonna take care of you're gonna be put up in a hotel with our volunteers with our paid staff But it's about being part of something bigger than yourself And it's all of those people that are passionate they care about Charlie's legacy They care about the work that we're doing at citizens alliance at turning point

1:13:28This is the way to make a difference is to stop sitting on the sidelines Jump onto the field put on your pads do some blocking and tackling because we know what works How do we know it works? We did this in 2024? Well, and by the way guess where we ripped out ripped off most of our best ideas from the left We had about a 20 year head start on us on this and this front Which is why they started winning close elections time and time again We kept scratching our head going what the heck just happened when Carrie Lake lost by 17,000 votes Shenanigans aside doesn't matter you two big to rig we could have won that race had we been doing the work You know we get these emails by the way all the time like don't tell people to vote early listen If you have a you know a tire go out on election day you might not get to vote, okay? Charlie would always say You do not leave anything to chance always have a plan to vote it whether you know remember Remember when us to vote early and you forget or your kid gets sick or your parent gets sick or you have a work emergency You can still vote on election day drop it off drop it off in person do whatever you do that feels good for you

1:14:30Just make sure it happens. I mean remember you think about the Senate race in Nevada Well, sand of all no it wasn't sand of all it was a like salt lacs all It's big snowstorm that day in northern Nevada and a bunch of people stayed home Whatever you never know what's gonna happen the point is get it done and be a part of the solution Charlie would be you know screaming from the rooftops go Be a part of something bigger than yourself join commit 100 do it today and honor Charlie this week This would be a perfect week to do it Clif Maloney God bless you man Thank you for constantly putting boots on the ground and doing the hard work the blocking and tackling that actually wins For shop guys For more on many of these stories and news you can trust go to Charlie Kirk dot com
