Charlie Kirk. So it's been a heavy heart so over
the last couple of weeks, but this is a great
way to celebrate his life, and what better way to
celebrate them with all the youth that we have here today,
these young adults who are like amazing and faithful and
beautiful souls, and we're just so happy to have you
guys here. So with us tonight we have Lila Ray
(01:00):
and Austin, who are the president and the vice president
of the Gospel Community Church High School Turning Point Chapter.
So let's give them a big round of applause for
stepping up to do that, and because they both have
wonderful bios, we are going to just say a little
bit about them because I just want you to know
who they are first, and then we'll get into our discussion.

Okay, So, Joshua, is are you fourteen or fifteen?
Speaker 2 (01:25):

Speaker 3 (01:25):
I'm sorry, section, there you go. Sorry, Austin, you're fourteen right.
Austin is currently a ninth grade home school high schooler
who serves as the vice president to a sable TPUSA chapter.
Austin first became interested in Turning Point when he became
an avid listener to Charlie Kirk in the mornings during
(01:45):
breakfast and on Family Road Tips, Charlie's podcast would often
be playing. Austin admired Charlie's patriotism, his love for family,
and his deep faith and passion for sharing the Gospel.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
So when he had the opportunity to help.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Start a student chapter chapter of TPUSA in May of
twenty twenty five, he gladly jumped on board. Austin doesn't
consider himself an activist, but rather an advocate before spreading
constitutional literacy amongst his peers and using that as an
opportunity to disciple others in the message of Jesus Christ.
When Austin isn't trying to get through Latin and logic
(02:20):
in his studies or practicing the piano, he is training
for his black belt and training other students and mixed
martial arts, playing competitive basketball, and serving his country in
the auxiliary arm of the United States Air Force through
Civil Air Patrol.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
You are a busy young man. He also enjoys.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Selling, skiing, kayaking, and anything God's great outdoors has to
ane us.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
That's very impressive, very impressive.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
And we also have Lyla Ray Lylae is sixteen and
the lead singer of Firm Foundation. The performance you just
watched is where they're with and it's a teen worship
band that she and her friends founded. Music has been
a passion of her since she was little. Her goal
with the band is to always spread the Gospel of
Christ through her voice and every word from her mouth.
(03:06):
She was recently elected president of the Gospel Community Church
High School, Turning Point Chapter that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Really amazing. Yes, those gratulations as a young adult.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
She's proud to have a voice in the future of
our country and to be a part.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Of a chapter that is faith based, as Charlie.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Made his mission to spread the Gospel first and foremost
Lyla Ray says, she owes all to God for the
path he has let her down.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Let's give them another huge round of applause for these
exceptional children.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
So good, you guys have done so much more than
I ever did.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Right, I was just thinking, I'm like your parents must be.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
So let's call for those parents out these young adults.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Good job parents, really phenomenal job.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
It's amazing.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
Where would we be without the support of our parents. Specifically,
my parents put a lot of work into my band,
and they have really guided me to be like the
person I am today. I mean, if it weren't for
them raising me like with knowledge of the Bible, in
church and stuff, I probably wouldn't be here.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Well, they did a phenomenal jobing, amazing, they really did.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
When did you when did you learn that, like, realized
that you had a voice, Like your voice is so beautiful?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
When did you start singing?
Speaker 8 (04:20):
Like?
Speaker 7 (04:20):
When did I start singing. Well, I've loved music since,
like it said, since I was really little and stuff,
and I always wanted to become a part of my
church's my my church's worship team.
Speaker 9 (04:33):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (04:33):
But I had gotten.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
An opportunity to sing with a young teen band that
was starting up at another church where I know some
of my friends were in it and some of them weren't,
and I got to meet a lot of friends through it.
I had always kind of just always wanted to sing,
Like I kind of like knew I didn't always have
the ability to sing, so I had I did I
do go to lessons, but I want to say that
(04:58):
I really got like my first experience like in the
lessons with the teacher. Obviously we had recitals and things,
but I think like my first time performing or like
singing and leading worship was that was at church where
it's Church of the Nazarene and Patchog where we started
(05:19):
off just playing every other every month for communion we
would end the sermon. But now we had gotten the
opportunity to sing at the Pine Grove Inn down in
Patchog every month, and we just we've kind of been
looking for opportunities ever since.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh, there were you guys at work that we heard
you at a rally two weeks ago and you were
bringing the crowd to tears.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
So it's amazing. Yeah, just listening to you guys tonight,
it was beautiful, just beautiful, beautiful. You should be very proud.
Speaker 10 (05:47):
Thank you.
Speaker 11 (05:48):
I am.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
I'm very proud of like all of my bandmate, my bandmates,
they've become like siblings to me at this point, Like
I know my actual brothers sitting there with our pianists
right now.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
She loves you.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
I'm Matthew, and I like to embarrass them.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
It's fun.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
So you guys are the new president and vice president
of the Gospel Community Church chapter in Sayville, and so
what inspired We'll kick it to Austin first then you
can answer, But what inspired you to get involved?
Speaker 8 (06:20):
I first heard about Turning Point USA through listening to
the Charlie Kirk podcast with my dad in the morning
when he was making coffee.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It's a good way.
Speaker 8 (06:27):
So it just really inspired me to join the Turning
Point and I got elected the vice president right after that.
But sadly that was just a few days before Charlie
Kirk assassinations, so.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I know it was I remember lylay your mom telling
me that you know, you were so excited to win,
and then the heavy heart came after. But you guys
are here today now to carry his legacy on and
do exactly what his vision was to do.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
And that's a beautiful thing. Austin, were you always homeschooled?
Speaker 10 (06:53):
I was not always homeschooled.
Speaker 8 (06:55):
Up until COVID, I was in public school, but in
fourth grade I was doing since learning.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
So how do you do?
Speaker 5 (07:04):
What do you like better the homeschooling or the kids
around you in school?
Speaker 8 (07:09):
Like?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Do you prefer one over the other? Are you happy?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
This is like the best thing that ever happened.
Speaker 8 (07:14):
You know? I think homeschooling is much better than public school.
There's a better environment, there's better kids.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Amen, that's right, yep.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I've shared this with you ladies here.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
But two of my kids, my oldest kids, went to
a private Christian college up in Hoton, New York, tiny
little place and it uses a Harvard grading scale. And
my kids were publicly educated and they went there and
they struggled, and they're not dumb, they're smart kids. But
the homeschool kids just thrived and they shown So I
(07:45):
think it says a lot about.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
It shows here tonight with all the wonderful kids at our.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Homeschool does and you guys are you know, Charlie planted seeds, right,
he planted millions of seeds, but.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
They're being watered and you guys are trying that on.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
And it's just it's inspirational to adults to watch young
people get involved because I think for a couple of
generations now, adults have been much too comfortable and complacent,
and it's why we've landed where we are. So I
think that you young people are inspiring adults, and I
encourage adults watching to take some take some notes from
(08:21):
these young people who are standing up and making a
difference every day in their communities.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
It's beautiful. You're our future, they really are.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
So what is your what is your goals for your chapter?
And how can people join with you? Do they have
to be part of gospel community specifically, No.
Speaker 7 (08:37):
Like we have a few people that aren't part of
gospel community.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Really.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
To get involved, you can go to the obviously there's
the Turning Point website and then hit search for a chapter.
But honestly, at this point here only island. I'm kind
of encouraging everyone to make their own because we really
do need more of them here. I think it's really
when we had started out and I was first elected,
it was just us and then Abby Rose's chapter on
(09:05):
the island completely. I don't know if that's changed.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I think it is.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Tony Brooks just finally got one and we're going to
hear from Bill here, from Anthony in another episode tonight,
and he'll tell you all about that.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
He's in charge of the whole stag.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
But I'm really, I'm really kind of hoping that it
would spread out, you know.
Speaker 10 (09:21):
I don't want to keep it like.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
Uh, confined to like the one.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Area, but to join ours.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
We do have a sign up folder, a sign up
sheet that is on Google Docs. And if you want
to ask me or Austin or someone else about that,
excellent Josh was also part of our things, so you
can ask one.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Of us about that yet.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
And for all of our viewers, if you want to
get involved, you can always email us at the warehouse.
I will get it to Leila Rey because we've been
seeing her at rallies and speak on our stage, and
these kids are incredible, it's so amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
We have to pass our torch.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
One day, we're getting tired of fighting so hard, we're
gonna have to pass our torch to you guys. Yeah,
but so and now you guys are going to be
looking to do events.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
That's what Joshua is.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yes on your board also that you saw Joshua in
the show before hours and so what are you trying
to do to get the kids to get engaged?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Is it's like community events and things like that.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Well, as well as an event coordinator, we also have
outreach coordinator. So I do plan to do a lot
of like community service things and outreach type things as
well as fundraisers as much as events. Yeah, our events
will probably be open to everyone and advertised on the
Instagram as well. I know Joshua has shared with me
quite a few ideas he wants to get in some
(10:36):
speakers and things, and I do want to work with
Lighthouse as far as outreach. Our outreach coordinator, Miya is
on top of that and I know she'll, you know,
plan the right things.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I trust her. That's awesome. Well, you always have our
support here.
Speaker 10 (10:50):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And I want to say we only these segments go fast.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
We only have a couple of seconds left but honestly,
from the bottom of my heart, I think everybody in this.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Room, we are so proud of you guys. For whatever
that's worth. We are, we really are.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I think you guys are, you know, carrying Charlie's legacy
on the way he wanted. And hopefully one day we
make Heaven crowded like he said. But in the meantime,
we keep doing what we're doing, and you always have
a home here at the Warehouse.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
And we love you, guys. And let's hear a.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Round of a plus for these wonderful Patriots, so we're
so faithful and their parents who are doing a great job.
Thank you guys for being here. Seriously, we're so blessed.
And we are going to cut to commercial break.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Thank you, Welcome back to the Patriots Podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Thank you for tuning in.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
We just had two wonderful students with us, Lyla Ray
and Austin.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Thank you guys.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
And right now we have a very special guest, Anthony Vermano,
who is the Big Apple is a coordinator Big Apple
College Field Rep. I'm sorry, I'm making up a title
for you. He's the Big Apple College Field Rep. So
he's kind of running the whole state New York, Long Island,
New Jersey, and part of Connecticut. So let's give a
big round of a plus for Anthony. He's got a
big role at Turning Point USA, and he's been a
(12:01):
pleasure to work with. We're very honored to have you here,
so thank you very much, Anthony, and we get a
lot to tell.
Speaker 11 (12:06):
Us well, thank you all so much again for inviting
me on. This is my first time to the America
First Warehouse. It's absolutely beautiful and I know Charlie for
sure would have adored this place. It is incredible honor
to like the greatest country.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
In the world.
Speaker 11 (12:20):
And essentially how I started with Turning Point USA. I
first started college during COVID and the time of riots
during twenty twenty and first started tried to start up
a Turning Point chapter. And twenty twenty was a very
very hard time to be conservative. That if you criticized
anything about the way COVID was handled or anything going on,
(12:41):
you were shut down immediately since racist.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Exactly white supremacist.
Speaker 11 (12:48):
So we tried starting a Turning Point chapter at Saint John's.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
They shut us down.
Speaker 11 (12:54):
False claims about Charlie, false claims about Turning Point students.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
So then we kept trying to fight for a year
and a.
Speaker 11 (13:01):
Half to get it on campus at Saint John's and
just there was so much liberal indoctrination push at that
school that.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Saint John's people.
Speaker 11 (13:10):
Yeah, yeah, And I went because as a Catholic, I
thought that I would be able to dive deeper into
my faith there. So then I decided to transfer down
to the University of Alabama, where it was a huge
conservative state down there, so we were able to grow
a Turning Point chapter to be absolutely gigantic, dove into
my deep my faith really deeper there. And now I
(13:31):
started working for Turning Point USA about eight months ago,
and it's been the best decision I've ever made. It
is so amazing getting to see the enjoyment I had
being part of the organization when I was a student.
Now seeing students go from not even knowing each other
when they start up this chapter to becoming best friends,
having successful events, even just seeing after Charlie's passing, these
(13:54):
vigils that were being hosted like I have, Fairfield University,
Montclair State, University, Rutgerssity that all have had beautiful vigils
that I would have never imagined like on some of
these campuses, like just the outpouring of support for patriotism
and just love for America and just people are people
are fed up now, they are ready to come out
(14:15):
of their shells and just stand out for what is right.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
That's yeah, that's an amazing blood they were.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
They were amazing how they just popped up everywhere.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
They were so organic, and it's it's they just showed.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Up and it was just it was beautiful to see,
it really was.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
It gives you chills, and it gives your hope.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
It gives you hope, hope, and and you.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
You find that you have faith in humanity again, honestly,
because let's be honest, it's been really hard.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
It's been really rough having.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Not just faith in humanity but faith in the younger
generation because we felt like we were losing so much
of the youth with the last few years of everything
going on.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I think being a shift. I think it's coming back, guys.
I think America is back. What do you guys think?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I think we're back now, right, America's coming back.
Speaker 11 (15:00):
Like seeing the amount of kids that like want to
get involved now since like September tenth I have not
been able to keep up with the amount of like students,
even in this area that I cover, Long Island, Jersey, Connecticut, Alas.
Teresa said that it's just I probably on my phone
now have two hundred on read text messages and like voicemail.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Welcome to being a leader of the patriot world. Welcome.
Great problem.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
I was gonna like, she said, it's a great problem
to have it.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Like.
Speaker 11 (15:28):
I even got an email the other day if someone
wanted to start up a Turning Point USA in the Philippines,
and I'm like, I don't know how we would do that,
but it is.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
A world international.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Yes, everything is figure out of all.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I was watching Facebook scrolling about a month a couple
of weeks ago, and somebody said, I'm a six year
old man, I'm a senior. I want seniors for Turning Point.
I said, Now we're onto something here. If we have
turning Point for everyone, we all unify together.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
It's great.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
True, Well, I think the thing is right.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Turning Point was founded in faith, and so our my
here for our podcast is faith, family and freedom. And
when you have a faith at your foundation and you
bring community family, which you're giving these kids, you can't
help but grow freedom.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
And it's amazing to watch.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
But I'd love to hear more from you about what
it is you are doing in your role and more
about what you're seeing and what your plans are.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
So one hundred percent, I totally agree.
Speaker 11 (16:26):
It's amazing seeing the growth towards going to church more
and just movement, movement towards Jesus from our attorney point
students that as you mentioned, so many of my students,
they'll start off their their meetings in prayer. I had
the blessing for the memorial to go down to Phoenix
and it was just prayer, vigils, worship, just always of
(16:49):
honoring God in this very hard time and kind of
in my role, I'm working to just grow and just prosper.
All these Turning Point chapters across the area. We start
all like from everywhere from community colleges to Ivy League
at like Columbia, and I want like if we could
hit everywhere, any type of college, you name it, and
(17:11):
we could start a Turning Point chapter and it's much needed.
Kids are like as I mentioned, kids are ready to
stand on truth. And essentially once we start out these chapters,
it gives the kids that ability to host activism events, meetings, tablings,
speaker events, whatever they want to put their mind to
putting on like where the capabilities are endless, And.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
So how do you support them? You help them get started?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
And what kind of resources does Turning Point provide for
new chapters?
Speaker 11 (17:39):
Yeah, of course, So I'm on campus mostly every day
of the week working with these students directly providing them.
We have all of our Turning Points stickers and pins
and all of our resources so we could.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Use on campus.
Speaker 11 (17:54):
We have different grants that were able to have that
through like the organization that are able to help us
with funding different events.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
We have amazing conferences.
Speaker 11 (18:05):
That's actually one of the biggest fuels like in my
time as a student. That encouraged me so much to
like want to come back and be blessed to have
this job because Charlie had such a great movement of
like bringing people together that go into these conferences. I
still have friends from five years ago that I'll probably
be going to their wedding soon. And just that Charlie
(18:25):
like made such great friendships of people all around the
country that all like have shared similar values.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
So whether if it's on.
Speaker 11 (18:33):
Campus events, national conferences. We offer plenty of different resources
for these students to really grow in the movement.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
So it sounds like you got involved pretty early on.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
Were you alone in that?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Was it just you or did you have friends that
were doing it with you?
Speaker 11 (18:50):
No, so it was actually a few of us. I
was introduced by one of my other friends. I never
heard of Turning Point when I first started in twenty twenty.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
And then as soon as like he starts.
Speaker 11 (19:02):
Showing me Charlie Kirk videos and everything, and I was like,
you know, this is this is for me, this is
like what I have to do in college, and.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I'm obsessed with watching them. Oh yeah, constant, yeah, yep, yeah,
And uh, I don't know.
Speaker 11 (19:14):
Even if like you didn't know him personally, like Charlie
impacted so many millions of lives just through how he
preached the word and just inspired so many people. So yeah,
starting off young really just like even after college, I
first started working in like a sales job and in
power tools, and it.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
Was it was a good job.
Speaker 11 (19:35):
But like just even like listening to Charlie more motivated
me that I have to do something with more purpose
in my life and that this gives me so much
more purpose. And whether it be my students, my co workers,
it's it's all the turning point family here and now
being here tonight.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Whole knew more more people to add to the whole.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Now you're part of the American first warehouse family. And
I could relate because I'm here all day long and
I love it. So when you love what you do,
it's they say, what it's not work, right, labor?
Speaker 9 (20:04):
Love?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It really is?
Speaker 5 (20:05):
It is, Yeah, it is when you do what you
When you do what you love, everything comes back tenfold.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It does. It's meaningful. Just it's just what you're putting
out is what is going to come back. So you're
doing beautiful work.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 11 (20:20):
And I just give the students the most amount of
credit in the world, whether seeing our Club America, our
high school branch, students go out and there's campuses like
I don't even know if during high school I would
have been able to go out and have the courage
that they did. Really, like, everyone's just following in the
footsteps now of Charlie just being ultimately fearless. Even at
(20:41):
the school in Long Island I was at today that
we just had a table just all in honor of
Charlie for his remember in States today earning the Presidential
Medal of Freedom. And we had we had protesters of
course that like we're protesting against Charlie and the amount
of like I would have never imagined in twenty twenty
when I started college that we would have on these
(21:03):
campuses so many people in support of us compared to
the other way around. So the one of our sayings
with Turning Point is we play offense with a sense
of urgency, and that that's what we're doing. Like I
don't know if you all have seen the news, but
we're now even doing a halftime show.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yes, that's halftime show. I was gonna read the Bible
half time, but I'll watch that.
Speaker 11 (21:25):
Yeah, So I don't I don't even know yet who's
going to be on, but I would take a good list.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I'll say, I'll say great hit Rock is one of them,
and Lee Greenwood I know for Shoreyes.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
That's awesome, so great.
Speaker 11 (21:36):
So I mean everything from that, Our conferences are out
of this world, Like as I mentioned, you get to
meet so many other great patriots from around the country.
And if you haven't signed up yet for America Fest,
it is the most incredible conference. It essentially feels like
a stadium concert that we have worship some of the
(21:56):
top speakers in the movement. And I mean you get
to check out Phoenix, Arizona. You don't get many other
opportunities when you come from the northeast. That's in December,
right in December eighteenth to twenty first, to.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Kill at me at Christmas time, I want to go selling.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
Just saying.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
So, we don't have much time again, So we have
the two chapters that we just talked about, and my
understanding Stonybrook was the next official chapter on Long Island
that just so officiate, you know, officially yep.
Speaker 11 (22:24):
So we started ones up at essentially almost every Long
Island college. Now we have Stonybrook at Delphi, Hofstra, Molloy, Farmingdale.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Yeah, that's a community.
Speaker 11 (22:38):
The next steps are now working with the schools to
like have them become formal like official clubs on campus.
That steps a little bit tougher. They have certain deadlines
and different requirements.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
And then but we are seeing.
Speaker 11 (22:53):
Now like because that they clearly see that free speech
is under attack, that they're being a little bit more
willing for turning point chapters to have a place on campus, So.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Courage breeds courage.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
So before we let you go, and Anthony will probably
be here a lot in the future with the table
here and you'll get to know him at our events.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Can they find you directly somewhere we.
Speaker 11 (23:13):
Go social TPUSA underscore Big Apple on Instagram. That's where
that's our whole territory page where you'll be able to
find and you could reach out if you want to
get involved in any of our chapters.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
And that's thank you so much, honey, and we appreciate you.
Big applause for him. We're going to go to commercial break.
We'll be right back. Thank you so much. Hi there,
welcome back to the Patriots Podcast. Thank you for tuning in.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Just for our guests who are watching the live stream,
we just did a little contest and the crowd's going crazy.
We hit a little Jesus under there. Everybody needs to
find a little Jesus in their life and they want
a patriotic cat. So thank you for playing along. So
this segment is we're welcoming a very special guest, Chris Burgard.
We got to meet Chris. I think it was the
(23:58):
summer of twenty four he did. We aired his movie
The War on Truth. He's an amazing patriot. He's an actor,
a director, a producer. And he wrote a special song
for Charlie Kirk. And life is interesting these days. We
have a lot of phone numbers of all these people.
I never thought i'd have numbers for, and I especially
movie producers. And I heard his song, and so I
(24:19):
called Chris up and I said, Hey, Chris, your song
is beautiful and would you come join us on the
fourteenth to talk about your inspiration for it and we'll
play it.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
So if we can have a.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Warm welcome for Chris Burgard, we're going to bring him
in on the zoom right now. Hi Chris, Hi, Chris, Hey,
are you great to see you again.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
We've missed you here at the Whales, but thank you
so much.
Speaker 12 (24:45):
Four all blondes. My wife's gonna be very jealous. How
I supposed to do?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, well, she could come on anytime. Give me a calm.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
We'll get around with us and come visit us at
the warehouse. So, Chris, what have you been up to,
because you're always doing a lot of different things.
Speaker 12 (24:58):
Oh, kibe.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
With or without choose.
Speaker 12 (25:05):
Boots.
Speaker 13 (25:07):
You know, life's been good, you know, I'm CSO for
His Glory and CSO his Glory TV, and we were
just we're ramping up to build that up. We're starting
a whole new music division. We just released the Warren
Truth Director's Cut. You know, a year ago, America wasn't
quite ready for all the truth we wanted to put
in the movie. But after they came out and said yeah,
(25:29):
there really were two hundred and seventy four FBI agents
in the crowd and expanded the conventional wisdom. So now
when we released the Director's cut, guys like Tennis, Scott Bennett,
and Bobby Powell, they're going a lot more detail about
who is really behind J six and how the Ukraine
Revolution in twenty fourteen was a dress rehearsal for what
(25:52):
we saw.
Speaker 12 (25:53):
So That's what I've been up to. So I've been
pretty blessed.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Thank you, Thank you something for everything you guys are doing.
Everything that Chris is out there, the border stuff that
you covered the documentary.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Is all amazing.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Your resume and everything we read about you is incredible.
So your song, I got to hear it. I think
I got a probably got an email from His Glory,
which I encourage everybody to check out his glory dot
tv and it's and Chris, it's his glory dot me
also right.
Speaker 12 (26:19):
There's his glory dot Me. Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 13 (26:21):
That's where we are a daily program going on, and
his glory dot tv, which is where you'll find our
movies are docs and.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I it's a beautiful it's great, yeah production to listen
to any of their stuff. So I got a notification
I heard that you wrote a song. I said, wow,
this guy writes songs too, So it was amazing to see,
uh that you wrote a song.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And I was listening to the.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Words, and I guess it was seemed like it was
inspired you knew Charlie or you had met him, right, that's.
Speaker 12 (26:50):
I worked with him twice.
Speaker 13 (26:51):
The first time was right Part a long time ago
and he was just starting out with himcgannis Owens and
then Nick Sercy and I did a movie together called
America God at His Grace. On the It was about
how this country wouldn't be here if it wasn't for God.
John Rich was kind enough to give us the music
for the final segment. It was just a neat movie
(27:12):
and Charlie starred in that and spending that day with him.
Speaker 12 (27:17):
It was incredible. I mean, he could quote scripture. He
was just one of the smartest, sharpest guys I knew.
Speaker 13 (27:23):
And then it turned out we had the same pastor
and Rob McCoy we went to the same church back
in California when I used to live out there, so
he would come out and he would preach there and
he would come visit, and you know, when he died,
I thought, we need to need to do a song
here about this. And I spent three days trying to
write a song. We wrote it, recorded it, and it
(27:44):
just wasn't right. And I sat down and I prayed
to God. I said, look, I feel like I should
do something, but this isn't right. What am I supposed
to do? And he just said, just write him a note,
just writing my note saying so long, Charlie. And that's
that's where the song came from. And I think you'll
see that my buddy Tim Lowry did an incredible job
(28:04):
putting this video together.
Speaker 12 (28:06):
And I hope it helps people, you know, I hope
it helps his family.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
It was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
It was comforting when I when I heard it, and
we're going to play it for the audience in a
minute do you guys have any closing thoughts or questions
for Chris before we let him go, because we are going.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
To play a song.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I know it's a short interview because we do want
the audience to see your beautiful song and video.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Thank you for your work. Yeah, definitely, no.
Speaker 12 (28:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 13 (28:31):
I hope your audience likes it. I'm honored to be
on your show. As you can see, we're losing the
light here in East Texas. But just God bless you guys.
I mean you're in New York, we're down here, and
just God bless you.
Speaker 12 (28:43):
And remember Charlie's family on his birthday.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
God bless them is right, and you know, all of
us share that patriot threat around the country together, near
and far. We're very blessed to have friends like you
around the country that are fighting the same fight. And
we hope you come back and visit us here soon.
Chris and I absolutely love Janet. She's your best friend
for the list. Since we've been talking so.
Speaker 12 (29:06):
But and again, I want to say thank you so much.
Speaker 13 (29:08):
You know, for the last year when you hosted me
in New York, I grew much fonder of New York
after spending time with you.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
All that's amazing. Well, this home is always here for you.
We're onto big things here. We hope you can join
us eventually again in New York, and we'll always here
to support and get out your messaging. So we hate
to have you go so soon, but we do want
to have the audience play your beautiful watch and here
your beautiful song, and hopefully you can come back and
visit the Patriots podcast soon and be a guest and
(29:36):
we'll talk about more stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Thank you, Chris Jobless, and thank you for being with
us great, Thank you all right? Can trump queue that up? Please?
(30:00):
Long Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 10 (30:03):
You left this way too soon, and words cannot experience.
Speaker 9 (30:09):
Just how much it really hurts.
Speaker 10 (30:13):
But the message that you served and.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
The movement that you turn will carry on, so the
lad truth will forever shine and burn.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
Soon, long Charlie, you're going. The first time that I
met you, you.
Speaker 9 (30:45):
Told me of your love for an angel name Erica
and our father of the book.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
You walked into the.
Speaker 10 (30:56):
Lines day and you didn't bring again.
Speaker 9 (31:01):
Now your time on earth.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Is ended, and her father said, well, so.
Speaker 9 (31:13):
Long, Charni Joung go in Ho Yong away home.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
You walked into the blinds Dad, and.
Speaker 10 (32:00):
You didn't breathe a God.
Speaker 9 (32:03):
Now your time on Earth is ended, and.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Her father says, well, so.
Speaker 9 (32:15):
Long Charny. You're going, Ji, Y're going, yes? Good Johnny,
(32:44):
oh Cho You're going yes, good back Johnny, Oh welcome.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
But there was a beautiful video attached to this.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I'm sorry, guys that you sat through without the video still,
so we might try to play it during the commercial break.
So Chris, if you're watching, so, I'm very sorry. I
know that video was beautiful. But let's give Chris a
rundom applause for that beautiful song, and if the control
room can get that ready again, maybe we'll play that again.
I want to show the beautiful video that goes along
with it.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Yeah, that was just amazing.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
So we're going to go to commercial breaking about a minute.
But I am going to read well or just let
you guys know. I don't know if you guys know.
Officially that at the end of September, the US Senate
and House of Representatives passive resolution establishing today October fourteenth,
the birthday of Charlie Kirk as National Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.
So what is an official day in remembrance of him.
So every year on this day, we hope you wear
(34:46):
red and you honor Charlie.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
And we only have a few seconds off. I was
turning points.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Put something out today about the thirty one wage you
can honor Charlie, and I'll start with some of them
until we go to commercial break. If you'd like to
honor Charlie the way he did in his thirty one
years on earth under the Sabbath, that's number one journal
every day. Send scripture to friends, have conversations with people
you disagree with, register to vote, get.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Married, have kids, go to church in that order. I
like that order.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
We'll go to church first, work out, get sun, ask
your spouse how can.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I better serve you?
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Read your Bible every day, stand up for your beliefs,
eat hot sauce, and we'll get back to the other
ones in a minute. But we're going to go to commercial. Brank,
thank you for tuning in.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Welcome back to the Patriots Podcast. We are in our
last segment. Already goes fast.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I am going to finish reading the thirty one ways
on a Charlie Kirk, but I do want to say
you write hot sauce. I love that we'll email you
the link to Chris Burgard's song because I really want
you guys see the video. So if you're not subscribed
to the America First Warehouse, please go on our website subscribe.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
You'll see our email blasts.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
We don't send a lot, we don't try to inundate people,
but I do want to get this video out so
you can keep.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
An eye out. That way. Beautiful, so beautiful, and thank
you Chris.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
And I'm sorry we the video didn't play, but I'm
going to finish. These are the thirty one ways turning
to point put out. So the last one I think
I said was eat hot sauce, but this next one's
one of my favorites. Carry a pocket constitution, which I
do every day. I'll do and support local businesses. Seventeen
is drink Mint Majesty Tea with two honeys, which we're
honoring him here with tonight. Avoid drugs and alcohol, don't
(36:24):
be afraid of what others think of you. Get eight
hours of sleep.
Speaker 12 (36:27):
Man.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I don't follow a lot of these rules.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Limit your social media, and take touch grass and get
out in nature God's green earth. I learn something new
every day. Be a leader, not a follower. Never surrender,
be bold and courageous, outwork your enemy.
Speaker 9 (36:45):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Read the college scam work to own land. Number thirty
was become ungovernable, which I think I did in Turning
and number thirty one. Pick up the mic and don't
be afraid to be bold and speak out. So with
further ado, I am going to Yes, we could collap
to that. It's good stuff for Charlie. Those those are
a turning point. Put into honor Charlie. That's for Charlie.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
So our next guest, Matthew, I always said this wrong.
Last time.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
You might have to help me. Mat Margolewski, Yes, okay, good.
I'm tired by the end of a Tuesday. And Matthew
was here with us the night of the vigil. I
got a lot of people that came up to me
at the end said who is that young man? He's amazing.
You spoke beautifully. And Matthew, unfortunately is no longer with
Turning Point because he is in law school.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
He's a very smart kid. It's a good reason, right,
but yeah, we could collap for that.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
He made it to law school. We need good conservative
lawyers out there. And he was the TPUSA Chapter president
for Adelphi University, and your messaging was beautiful when you
were here a few weeks ago. So you want to
tell us a little bit about yourself, and I guess
from where you started with Turning Point until getting to
law school, which is what was one of my dreams.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
I love that you're in law school.
Speaker 10 (38:00):
Sure. Well, first, thank you ladies for having me.
Speaker 14 (38:02):
It's truly a pleasure of being here again my second time,
and so far, so good. I'm really really enjoying my
time here. So exactly so, my Turning Point journey started,
I would say in high school. I wasn't too familiar
with Turning Point, but I did see videos of Charlie
Kirk on college campuses speaking to students engaging in civil
dialogue as we all should, and it really inspired me,
(38:25):
you know, listening to what he was talking about, I
thought to myself, Hey, these are the ideas that I
believe in myself.
Speaker 10 (38:32):
At that time, I wasn't too political.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
But they resonated right.
Speaker 10 (38:36):
And so that was towards the tail end of high school.
Then I got into a college.
Speaker 14 (38:41):
I attended Saint John's University for the first year until
I transferred out, but how my journey started. I didn't
know that there was a chapter first during my first
semester during the fall of twenty twenty, but I was
introduced in the spring semester to the Turning Point chapter,
and Anthony, who was on earlier, was on the executive
board already for the chapter. But we weren't yet recognized
(39:03):
by the school. But I decided one day, Hey, let
me go to their tabling event, see what it's about.
Speaker 10 (39:08):
And so I went to their.
Speaker 14 (39:11):
Tabling event the next one that I found out about,
and I just walked up to them. I said, Hey,
you know, I really like what you guys are doing.
Do you mind if I get involved? And they welcomed
me with open arms, and immediately I jumped into action.
People were walking by, I'd say, hey, you know, have
you heard of Turning Point? Do you want to get involved?
And we were met mostly with opposition, surprisingly at Saint John's,
(39:35):
but who cares. We're there to, you know, talk about
what we believe in, try to promote our ideas as conservatives,
And immediately right after the first tabling event, they said, hey,
would you like to be the spokesman of the group,
And of course I gladly accepted, and from there we
went on to host a couple of events. We hosted
Isabelle Brown, who is now the Daily Wire. We also
(39:57):
hosted will Wit and they were great events. And then
moving forward, after I transferred out of Saint John's going
towards a Delphi, there was no turning Point chapter yet established,
so I figured, let me take lead, let me start
the turning point chapter, which I did, and we were
very successful. We worked in coordination with the College Republicans,
which I was also on the board.
Speaker 10 (40:17):
Of, and all we want to do was spread.
Speaker 14 (40:19):
Conservative values on college campus, which we know aren't popular,
and we had a great time.
Speaker 10 (40:25):
It was successful, I'd say.
Speaker 14 (40:26):
Unfortunately, both at Saint John's and Adelphi weren't officially recognized,
but we were still out there doing what we needed
to do, making sure to spread the message, trying to
get kids involved.
Speaker 10 (40:36):
And that's really it.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
That's great, amazing, that's really you know, thank you to
not have a school recognize you and to push forward
and do it anyway.
Speaker 14 (40:47):
Yeah, I mean with a lot of these schools, there's bureaucracy.
Of course, at Saint John's we got turned down twice,
and at Adelphi it was a little bit easier, but
at that point when I had wanted to start the chapter,
it was two in the year. But of course we
still brought to our tabling events. We still brought it's
amazing turning point merchandise.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
What was their reasoning for not allowing you to start
the chapter? I mean, it seems so biased and racist
what they call.
Speaker 10 (41:12):
Well at same jo.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
I mean, what would there be the reason? I want
to know what the reason? Do they give you a reason?
Speaker 14 (41:18):
It's what they tried to They tried to tie us
into Charlie Kirk being racist and a white supremacist, and
somehow every time I don't know exactly how the process
was because I wasn't the one doing it. It was
mainly the president and vice president. I was just the spokesman.
But they would just try to say that, oh, this
is not a group that we want on campus. And
(41:38):
it's ridiculous because you know, all the other left wing
organizations would get in with these are this is This.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
Is just a prime example as why Charlie said, like,
rethink sending your kids to college children like young young
men and women. Rethink the path forward that you have
as you're leaving high school. There are so many other
ways forward in your life that will certainly what my
kids be better.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
I say one time, especially in the last few years, like,
my goal isn't to get my kids into Ivy League schools.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
My goal is to get my kids into the Kingdom Heaven.
That's right. We want our kids in Heaven. Amen.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
Yeah, And then follow your calling, right, everybody's everybody has
different gifts, everybody has is tapped for different things. Follow
your passion, follow your calling, and don't feel you have
to do what the culture is doing. And that's what
I think happened absolutely long when our kids have been
growing up. So but anyway, it's it's unfathomable to me
that that is experienced in American college campuses. And I
(42:35):
said it before with the other segment, but Saint John's
like at a Catholic you haven't say, yeah, it's it's
it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
So and he said he went there for his values,
you know, and you think they would honor that. But
you know what, Saint everywhere, Saint John's a Delphi. Think
no one has a choice right now because I think
the tide is changing. I think there's going to be
Turning Point chapters and a million Jolley courts will rise
up like they said it would happen.
Speaker 14 (43:00):
Yeah, And I just want to say, although I'm not
really involved with Turning Point anymore, though I am the
vice president of the Long Island Activism Hub with Ben
Ben Findling.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
But I didn't know you would put with that stuff.
Speaker 10 (43:11):
Yeah, we're actually law school classmates.
Speaker 12 (43:13):
Nice.
Speaker 14 (43:14):
Yeah, we met at our at one of the Saint
John's events that we put on, and we've been best
buddies ever since.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
So tell us about your law school journey and what
do you hope to do when you finish.
Speaker 10 (43:24):
Sure, So just a little bit of background.
Speaker 14 (43:26):
I've known since high school I wanted to go into law,
so it's really great to see that I've made it
this far.
Speaker 10 (43:34):
But really I would say, moving.
Speaker 14 (43:38):
Forward with law, we need to defend our values right
and a lot of that takes place in the legal system.
Speaker 10 (43:44):
So I've known for a long time now.
Speaker 14 (43:46):
That constitutional law is something that I want to get into.
Speaker 10 (43:48):
I want to fight for our freedoms.
Speaker 14 (43:51):
Ben and I we talk all the time about you know,
what case we want to take on next.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Obviously, we still need to pass the bar, but I
have a good feeling.
Speaker 8 (44:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (44:01):
And also in our constitutional law class, you know, just
making sure that we talk about what we believe in
because even though I would say law school they're more
open to other ideas. Of course they're it's it's predominantly liberal.
So using your voice, I would say to the younger
audience who are there, maybe if they're in college or
(44:22):
in high school, if you're considering going to law school
and you're conservative, do it.
Speaker 10 (44:28):
I don't don't have any regrets.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
You need to go. We needed to learn.
Speaker 10 (44:31):
About the law and you need to fight for your
values using law.
Speaker 3 (44:35):
So that's what job's Sorry, it's great job security too,
because we know that we're going.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
To have to keep having these betts.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
I'm thinking.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
Us in this room, well, how many times in the
last five years that we wish we had a constitutional.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
Lawyer in our toolbox? And you're going to be it
when you pass your bar. Now we know who to call.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
There you go, But we need a lot of good,
strong constitutional lawyers because it seems like that pesky constitution
that everyone doesn't want to follow is you know, it's
frustrating that we've gotten here today, but to know that
there's young minds out there, and you know, young heart's
doing it is very I'm very grateful for that.
Speaker 4 (45:09):
It's encouraging to it is. It really is very much
an inspiration for a lot of young kids.
Speaker 10 (45:13):
And don't be fooled, this generation gen Z is very conservative.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
So I'm real worried about that. Yeah, I'm realizing that now.
I don't know about those millennials out there, but yes.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Gen Z seems to be I'm very proud of that.
We saw that we were able.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
We went to the Wildwood rally for Donald you know,
for President Trump before his election. And what I was
so amazed by in that sea of red hats and
was thousands and thousands and thousands of young adults from
like high school age to like mid twenties, and I thought,
oh my god, finally, finally America's coming back.

their faith boldly.

ultimate source of wisdom and hope. A Charlie's example remind

Let's hear it for the Patriots Podcast. Ladies and gentlemen,
Good evening, Welcome to the Patriots Podcast. Thank you all
for being here a We're not loud house sound. This
is what Live Productions do. Thank you guys all for
being here tonight. We really appreciate you being here on
behalf of the Patriots and.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
The America First Warehouse.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Thank you to my amazing bosses who let us do
this vision tonight to have this wonderful event at the
vision of Mary who's in the second rowback there. She
suggested this event and we made it happen. So we
are live here every Tuesday night from the studio seven
thirty eight to eight thirty Eastern. And to all our
viewers who are watching on livestream, thank you for tuning
(00:36):
in for this beautiful night honoring the wonderful and legendary
Charlie Kirk. So it's been a heavy heart so over
the last couple of weeks, but this is a great
way to celebrate his life, and what better way to
celebrate them with all the youth that we have here today,
these young adults who are like amazing and faithful and
beautiful souls, and we're just so happy to have you
guys here. So with us tonight we have Lila Ray
(01:00):
and Austin, who are the president and the vice president
of the Gospel Community Church High School Turning Point Chapter.
So let's give them a big round of applause for
stepping up to do that, and because they both have
wonderful bios, we are going to just say a little
bit about them because I just want you to know
who they are first, and then we'll get into our discussion.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Okay, So, Joshua, is are you fourteen or fifteen?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Awesome?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I'm sorry, section, there you go. Sorry, Austin, you're fourteen right.
Austin is currently a ninth grade home school high schooler
who serves as the vice president to a sable TPUSA chapter.
Austin first became interested in Turning Point when he became
an avid listener to Charlie Kirk in the mornings during
(01:45):
breakfast and on Family Road Tips, Charlie's podcast would often
be playing. Austin admired Charlie's patriotism, his love for family,
and his deep faith and passion for sharing the Gospel.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
So when he had the opportunity to help.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Start a student chapter chapter of TPUSA in May of
twenty twenty five, he gladly jumped on board. Austin doesn't
consider himself an activist, but rather an advocate before spreading
constitutional literacy amongst his peers and using that as an
opportunity to disciple others in the message of Jesus Christ.
When Austin isn't trying to get through Latin and logic
(02:20):
in his studies or practicing the piano, he is training
for his black belt and training other students and mixed
martial arts, playing competitive basketball, and serving his country in
the auxiliary arm of the United States Air Force through
Civil Air Patrol.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
You are a busy young man. He also enjoys.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Selling, skiing, kayaking, and anything God's great outdoors has to
ane us.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
That's very impressive, very impressive.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
And we also have Lyla Ray Lylae is sixteen and
the lead singer of Firm Foundation. The performance you just
watched is where they're with and it's a teen worship
band that she and her friends founded. Music has been
a passion of her since she was little. Her goal
with the band is to always spread the Gospel of
Christ through her voice and every word from her mouth.
(03:06):
She was recently elected president of the Gospel Community Church
High School, Turning Point Chapter that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Really amazing. Yes, those gratulations as a young adult.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
She's proud to have a voice in the future of
our country and to be a part.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Of a chapter that is faith based, as Charlie.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Made his mission to spread the Gospel first and foremost
Lyla Ray says, she owes all to God for the
path he has let her down.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Let's give them another huge round of applause for these
exceptional children.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
So good, you guys have done so much more than
I ever did.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Right, I was just thinking, I'm like your parents must be.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
So let's call for those parents out these young adults.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Good job parents, really phenomenal job.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
It's amazing.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
Where would we be without the support of our parents. Specifically,
my parents put a lot of work into my band,
and they have really guided me to be like the
person I am today. I mean, if it weren't for
them raising me like with knowledge of the Bible, in
church and stuff, I probably wouldn't be here.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Well, they did a phenomenal jobing, amazing, they really did.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
When did you when did you learn that, like, realized
that you had a voice, Like your voice is so beautiful?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
When did you start singing?
Speaker 8 (04:20):
Like?
Speaker 7 (04:20):
When did I start singing. Well, I've loved music since,
like it said, since I was really little and stuff,
and I always wanted to become a part of my
church's my my church's worship team.
Speaker 9 (04:33):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (04:33):
But I had gotten.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
An opportunity to sing with a young teen band that
was starting up at another church where I know some
of my friends were in it and some of them weren't,
and I got to meet a lot of friends through it.
I had always kind of just always wanted to sing,
Like I kind of like knew I didn't always have
the ability to sing, so I had I did I
do go to lessons, but I want to say that
(04:58):
I really got like my first experience like in the
lessons with the teacher. Obviously we had recitals and things,
but I think like my first time performing or like
singing and leading worship was that was at church where
it's Church of the Nazarene and Patchog where we started
(05:19):
off just playing every other every month for communion we
would end the sermon. But now we had gotten the
opportunity to sing at the Pine Grove Inn down in
Patchog every month, and we just we've kind of been
looking for opportunities ever since.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh, there were you guys at work that we heard
you at a rally two weeks ago and you were
bringing the crowd to tears.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
So it's amazing. Yeah, just listening to you guys tonight,
it was beautiful, just beautiful, beautiful. You should be very proud.
Speaker 10 (05:47):
Thank you.
Speaker 11 (05:48):
I am.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
I'm very proud of like all of my bandmate, my bandmates,
they've become like siblings to me at this point, Like
I know my actual brothers sitting there with our pianists
right now.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
She loves you.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
I'm Matthew, and I like to embarrass them.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
It's fun.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
So you guys are the new president and vice president
of the Gospel Community Church chapter in Sayville, and so
what inspired We'll kick it to Austin first then you
can answer, But what inspired you to get involved?
Speaker 8 (06:20):
I first heard about Turning Point USA through listening to
the Charlie Kirk podcast with my dad in the morning
when he was making coffee.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It's a good way.
Speaker 8 (06:27):
So it just really inspired me to join the Turning
Point and I got elected the vice president right after that.
But sadly that was just a few days before Charlie
Kirk assassinations, so.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I know it was I remember lylay your mom telling
me that you know, you were so excited to win,
and then the heavy heart came after. But you guys
are here today now to carry his legacy on and
do exactly what his vision was to do.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
And that's a beautiful thing. Austin, were you always homeschooled?
Speaker 10 (06:53):
I was not always homeschooled.
Speaker 8 (06:55):
Up until COVID, I was in public school, but in
fourth grade I was doing since learning.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
So how do you do?
Speaker 5 (07:04):
What do you like better the homeschooling or the kids
around you in school?
Speaker 8 (07:09):
Like?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Do you prefer one over the other? Are you happy?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
This is like the best thing that ever happened.
Speaker 8 (07:14):
You know? I think homeschooling is much better than public school.
There's a better environment, there's better kids.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Amen, that's right, yep.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I've shared this with you ladies here.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
But two of my kids, my oldest kids, went to
a private Christian college up in Hoton, New York, tiny
little place and it uses a Harvard grading scale. And
my kids were publicly educated and they went there and
they struggled, and they're not dumb, they're smart kids. But
the homeschool kids just thrived and they shown So I
(07:45):
think it says a lot about.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
It shows here tonight with all the wonderful kids at our.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Homeschool does and you guys are you know, Charlie planted seeds, right,
he planted millions of seeds, but.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
They're being watered and you guys are trying that on.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
And it's just it's inspirational to adults to watch young
people get involved because I think for a couple of
generations now, adults have been much too comfortable and complacent,
and it's why we've landed where we are. So I
think that you young people are inspiring adults, and I
encourage adults watching to take some take some notes from
(08:21):
these young people who are standing up and making a
difference every day in their communities.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
It's beautiful. You're our future, they really are.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
So what is your what is your goals for your chapter?
And how can people join with you? Do they have
to be part of gospel community specifically, No.
Speaker 7 (08:37):
Like we have a few people that aren't part of
gospel community.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Really.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
To get involved, you can go to the obviously there's
the Turning Point website and then hit search for a chapter.
But honestly, at this point here only island. I'm kind
of encouraging everyone to make their own because we really
do need more of them here. I think it's really
when we had started out and I was first elected,
it was just us and then Abby Rose's chapter on
(09:05):
the island completely. I don't know if that's changed.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I think it is.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Tony Brooks just finally got one and we're going to
hear from Bill here, from Anthony in another episode tonight,
and he'll tell you all about that.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
He's in charge of the whole stag.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
But I'm really, I'm really kind of hoping that it
would spread out, you know.
Speaker 10 (09:21):
I don't want to keep it like.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
Uh, confined to like the one.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Area, but to join ours.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
We do have a sign up folder, a sign up
sheet that is on Google Docs. And if you want
to ask me or Austin or someone else about that,
excellent Josh was also part of our things, so you
can ask one.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Of us about that yet.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
And for all of our viewers, if you want to
get involved, you can always email us at the warehouse.
I will get it to Leila Rey because we've been
seeing her at rallies and speak on our stage, and
these kids are incredible, it's so amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
We have to pass our torch.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
One day, we're getting tired of fighting so hard, we're
gonna have to pass our torch to you guys. Yeah,
but so and now you guys are going to be
looking to do events.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
That's what Joshua is.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yes on your board also that you saw Joshua in
the show before hours and so what are you trying
to do to get the kids to get engaged?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Is it's like community events and things like that.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Well, as well as an event coordinator, we also have
outreach coordinator. So I do plan to do a lot
of like community service things and outreach type things as
well as fundraisers as much as events. Yeah, our events
will probably be open to everyone and advertised on the
Instagram as well. I know Joshua has shared with me
quite a few ideas he wants to get in some
(10:36):
speakers and things, and I do want to work with
Lighthouse as far as outreach. Our outreach coordinator, Miya is
on top of that and I know she'll, you know,
plan the right things.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I trust her. That's awesome. Well, you always have our
support here.
Speaker 10 (10:50):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And I want to say we only these segments go fast.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
We only have a couple of seconds left but honestly,
from the bottom of my heart, I think everybody in this.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Room, we are so proud of you guys. For whatever
that's worth. We are, we really are.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I think you guys are, you know, carrying Charlie's legacy
on the way he wanted. And hopefully one day we
make Heaven crowded like he said. But in the meantime,
we keep doing what we're doing, and you always have
a home here at the Warehouse.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
And we love you, guys. And let's hear a.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Round of a plus for these wonderful Patriots, so we're
so faithful and their parents who are doing a great job.
Thank you guys for being here. Seriously, we're so blessed.
And we are going to cut to commercial break.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Thank you, Welcome back to the Patriots Podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Thank you for tuning in.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
We just had two wonderful students with us, Lyla Ray
and Austin.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Thank you guys.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
And right now we have a very special guest, Anthony Vermano,
who is the Big Apple is a coordinator Big Apple
College Field Rep. I'm sorry, I'm making up a title
for you. He's the Big Apple College Field Rep. So
he's kind of running the whole state New York, Long Island,
New Jersey, and part of Connecticut. So let's give a
big round of a plus for Anthony. He's got a
big role at Turning Point USA, and he's been a
(12:01):
pleasure to work with. We're very honored to have you here,
so thank you very much, Anthony, and we get a
lot to tell.
Speaker 11 (12:06):
Us well, thank you all so much again for inviting
me on. This is my first time to the America
First Warehouse. It's absolutely beautiful and I know Charlie for
sure would have adored this place. It is incredible honor
to like the greatest country.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
In the world.
Speaker 11 (12:20):
And essentially how I started with Turning Point USA. I
first started college during COVID and the time of riots
during twenty twenty and first started tried to start up
a Turning Point chapter. And twenty twenty was a very
very hard time to be conservative. That if you criticized
anything about the way COVID was handled or anything going on,
(12:41):
you were shut down immediately since racist.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Exactly white supremacist.
Speaker 11 (12:48):
So we tried starting a Turning Point chapter at Saint John's.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
They shut us down.
Speaker 11 (12:54):
False claims about Charlie, false claims about Turning Point students.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
So then we kept trying to fight for a year
and a.
Speaker 11 (13:01):
Half to get it on campus at Saint John's and
just there was so much liberal indoctrination push at that
school that.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Saint John's people.
Speaker 11 (13:10):
Yeah, yeah, And I went because as a Catholic, I
thought that I would be able to dive deeper into
my faith there. So then I decided to transfer down
to the University of Alabama, where it was a huge
conservative state down there, so we were able to grow
a Turning Point chapter to be absolutely gigantic, dove into
my deep my faith really deeper there. And now I
(13:31):
started working for Turning Point USA about eight months ago,
and it's been the best decision I've ever made. It
is so amazing getting to see the enjoyment I had
being part of the organization when I was a student.
Now seeing students go from not even knowing each other
when they start up this chapter to becoming best friends,
having successful events, even just seeing after Charlie's passing, these
(13:54):
vigils that were being hosted like I have, Fairfield University,
Montclair State, University, Rutgerssity that all have had beautiful vigils
that I would have never imagined like on some of
these campuses, like just the outpouring of support for patriotism
and just love for America and just people are people
are fed up now, they are ready to come out
(14:15):
of their shells and just stand out for what is right.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
That's yeah, that's an amazing blood they were.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
They were amazing how they just popped up everywhere.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
They were so organic, and it's it's they just showed.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Up and it was just it was beautiful to see,
it really was.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
It gives you chills, and it gives your hope.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
It gives you hope, hope, and and you.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
You find that you have faith in humanity again, honestly,
because let's be honest, it's been really hard.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
It's been really rough having.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Not just faith in humanity but faith in the younger
generation because we felt like we were losing so much
of the youth with the last few years of everything
going on.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I think being a shift. I think it's coming back, guys.
I think America is back. What do you guys think?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I think we're back now, right, America's coming back.
Speaker 11 (15:00):
Like seeing the amount of kids that like want to
get involved now since like September tenth I have not
been able to keep up with the amount of like students,
even in this area that I cover, Long Island, Jersey, Connecticut, Alas.
Teresa said that it's just I probably on my phone
now have two hundred on read text messages and like voicemail.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Welcome to being a leader of the patriot world. Welcome.
Great problem.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
I was gonna like, she said, it's a great problem
to have it.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Like.
Speaker 11 (15:28):
I even got an email the other day if someone
wanted to start up a Turning Point USA in the Philippines,
and I'm like, I don't know how we would do that,
but it is.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
A world international.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Yes, everything is figure out of all.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I was watching Facebook scrolling about a month a couple
of weeks ago, and somebody said, I'm a six year
old man, I'm a senior. I want seniors for Turning Point.
I said, Now we're onto something here. If we have
turning Point for everyone, we all unify together.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
It's great.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
True, Well, I think the thing is right.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Turning Point was founded in faith, and so our my
here for our podcast is faith, family and freedom. And
when you have a faith at your foundation and you
bring community family, which you're giving these kids, you can't
help but grow freedom.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
And it's amazing to watch.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
But I'd love to hear more from you about what
it is you are doing in your role and more
about what you're seeing and what your plans are.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
So one hundred percent, I totally agree.
Speaker 11 (16:26):
It's amazing seeing the growth towards going to church more
and just movement, movement towards Jesus from our attorney point
students that as you mentioned, so many of my students,
they'll start off their their meetings in prayer. I had
the blessing for the memorial to go down to Phoenix
and it was just prayer, vigils, worship, just always of
(16:49):
honoring God in this very hard time and kind of
in my role, I'm working to just grow and just prosper.
All these Turning Point chapters across the area. We start
all like from everywhere from community colleges to Ivy League
at like Columbia, and I want like if we could
hit everywhere, any type of college, you name it, and
(17:11):
we could start a Turning Point chapter and it's much needed.
Kids are like as I mentioned, kids are ready to
stand on truth. And essentially once we start out these chapters,
it gives the kids that ability to host activism events, meetings, tablings,
speaker events, whatever they want to put their mind to
putting on like where the capabilities are endless, And.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
So how do you support them? You help them get started?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
And what kind of resources does Turning Point provide for
new chapters?
Speaker 11 (17:39):
Yeah, of course, So I'm on campus mostly every day
of the week working with these students directly providing them.
We have all of our Turning Points stickers and pins
and all of our resources so we could.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Use on campus.
Speaker 11 (17:54):
We have different grants that were able to have that
through like the organization that are able to help us
with funding different events.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
We have amazing conferences.
Speaker 11 (18:05):
That's actually one of the biggest fuels like in my
time as a student. That encouraged me so much to
like want to come back and be blessed to have
this job because Charlie had such a great movement of
like bringing people together that go into these conferences. I
still have friends from five years ago that I'll probably
be going to their wedding soon. And just that Charlie
(18:25):
like made such great friendships of people all around the
country that all like have shared similar values.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
So whether if it's on.
Speaker 11 (18:33):
Campus events, national conferences. We offer plenty of different resources
for these students to really grow in the movement.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
So it sounds like you got involved pretty early on.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
Were you alone in that?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Was it just you or did you have friends that
were doing it with you?
Speaker 11 (18:50):
No, so it was actually a few of us. I
was introduced by one of my other friends. I never
heard of Turning Point when I first started in twenty twenty.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
And then as soon as like he starts.
Speaker 11 (19:02):
Showing me Charlie Kirk videos and everything, and I was like,
you know, this is this is for me, this is
like what I have to do in college, and.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I'm obsessed with watching them. Oh yeah, constant, yeah, yep, yeah,
And uh, I don't know.
Speaker 11 (19:14):
Even if like you didn't know him personally, like Charlie
impacted so many millions of lives just through how he
preached the word and just inspired so many people. So yeah,
starting off young really just like even after college, I
first started working in like a sales job and in
power tools, and it.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
Was it was a good job.
Speaker 11 (19:35):
But like just even like listening to Charlie more motivated
me that I have to do something with more purpose
in my life and that this gives me so much
more purpose. And whether it be my students, my co workers,
it's it's all the turning point family here and now
being here tonight.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Whole knew more more people to add to the whole.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Now you're part of the American first warehouse family. And
I could relate because I'm here all day long and
I love it. So when you love what you do,
it's they say, what it's not work, right, labor?
Speaker 9 (20:04):
Love?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It really is?
Speaker 5 (20:05):
It is, Yeah, it is when you do what you
When you do what you love, everything comes back tenfold.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It does. It's meaningful. Just it's just what you're putting
out is what is going to come back. So you're
doing beautiful work.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 11 (20:20):
And I just give the students the most amount of
credit in the world, whether seeing our Club America, our
high school branch, students go out and there's campuses like
I don't even know if during high school I would
have been able to go out and have the courage
that they did. Really, like, everyone's just following in the
footsteps now of Charlie just being ultimately fearless. Even at
(20:41):
the school in Long Island I was at today that
we just had a table just all in honor of
Charlie for his remember in States today earning the Presidential
Medal of Freedom. And we had we had protesters of
course that like we're protesting against Charlie and the amount
of like I would have never imagined in twenty twenty
when I started college that we would have on these
(21:03):
campuses so many people in support of us compared to
the other way around. So the one of our sayings
with Turning Point is we play offense with a sense
of urgency, and that that's what we're doing. Like I
don't know if you all have seen the news, but
we're now even doing a halftime show.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yes, that's halftime show. I was gonna read the Bible
half time, but I'll watch that.
Speaker 11 (21:25):
Yeah, So I don't I don't even know yet who's
going to be on, but I would take a good list.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I'll say, I'll say great hit Rock is one of them,
and Lee Greenwood I know for Shoreyes.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
That's awesome, so great.
Speaker 11 (21:36):
So I mean everything from that, Our conferences are out
of this world, Like as I mentioned, you get to
meet so many other great patriots from around the country.
And if you haven't signed up yet for America Fest,
it is the most incredible conference. It essentially feels like
a stadium concert that we have worship some of the
(21:56):
top speakers in the movement. And I mean you get
to check out Phoenix, Arizona. You don't get many other
opportunities when you come from the northeast. That's in December,
right in December eighteenth to twenty first, to.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Kill at me at Christmas time, I want to go selling.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
Just saying.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
So, we don't have much time again, So we have
the two chapters that we just talked about, and my
understanding Stonybrook was the next official chapter on Long Island
that just so officiate, you know, officially yep.
Speaker 11 (22:24):
So we started ones up at essentially almost every Long
Island college. Now we have Stonybrook at Delphi, Hofstra, Molloy, Farmingdale.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Yeah, that's a community.
Speaker 11 (22:38):
The next steps are now working with the schools to
like have them become formal like official clubs on campus.
That steps a little bit tougher. They have certain deadlines
and different requirements.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
And then but we are seeing.
Speaker 11 (22:53):
Now like because that they clearly see that free speech
is under attack, that they're being a little bit more
willing for turning point chapters to have a place on campus, So.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Courage breeds courage.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
So before we let you go, and Anthony will probably
be here a lot in the future with the table
here and you'll get to know him at our events.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Can they find you directly somewhere we.
Speaker 11 (23:13):
Go social TPUSA underscore Big Apple on Instagram. That's where
that's our whole territory page where you'll be able to
find and you could reach out if you want to
get involved in any of our chapters.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
And that's thank you so much, honey, and we appreciate you.
Big applause for him. We're going to go to commercial break.
We'll be right back. Thank you so much. Hi there,
welcome back to the Patriots Podcast. Thank you for tuning in.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Just for our guests who are watching the live stream,
we just did a little contest and the crowd's going crazy.
We hit a little Jesus under there. Everybody needs to
find a little Jesus in their life and they want
a patriotic cat. So thank you for playing along. So
this segment is we're welcoming a very special guest, Chris Burgard.
We got to meet Chris. I think it was the
(23:58):
summer of twenty four he did. We aired his movie
The War on Truth. He's an amazing patriot. He's an actor,
a director, a producer. And he wrote a special song
for Charlie Kirk. And life is interesting these days. We
have a lot of phone numbers of all these people.
I never thought i'd have numbers for, and I especially
movie producers. And I heard his song, and so I
(24:19):
called Chris up and I said, Hey, Chris, your song
is beautiful and would you come join us on the
fourteenth to talk about your inspiration for it and we'll
play it.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
So if we can have a.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Warm welcome for Chris Burgard, we're going to bring him
in on the zoom right now. Hi Chris, Hi, Chris, Hey,
are you great to see you again.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
We've missed you here at the Whales, but thank you
so much.
Speaker 12 (24:45):
Four all blondes. My wife's gonna be very jealous. How
I supposed to do?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, well, she could come on anytime. Give me a calm.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
We'll get around with us and come visit us at
the warehouse. So, Chris, what have you been up to,
because you're always doing a lot of different things.
Speaker 12 (24:58):
Oh, kibe.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
With or without choose.
Speaker 12 (25:05):
Boots.
Speaker 13 (25:07):
You know, life's been good, you know, I'm CSO for
His Glory and CSO his Glory TV, and we were
just we're ramping up to build that up. We're starting
a whole new music division. We just released the Warren
Truth Director's Cut. You know, a year ago, America wasn't
quite ready for all the truth we wanted to put
in the movie. But after they came out and said yeah,
(25:29):
there really were two hundred and seventy four FBI agents
in the crowd and expanded the conventional wisdom. So now
when we released the Director's cut, guys like Tennis, Scott Bennett,
and Bobby Powell, they're going a lot more detail about
who is really behind J six and how the Ukraine
Revolution in twenty fourteen was a dress rehearsal for what
(25:52):
we saw.
Speaker 12 (25:53):
So That's what I've been up to. So I've been
pretty blessed.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Thank you, Thank you something for everything you guys are doing.
Everything that Chris is out there, the border stuff that
you covered the documentary.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Is all amazing.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Your resume and everything we read about you is incredible.
So your song, I got to hear it. I think
I got a probably got an email from His Glory,
which I encourage everybody to check out his glory dot
tv and it's and Chris, it's his glory dot me
also right.
Speaker 12 (26:19):
There's his glory dot Me. Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 13 (26:21):
That's where we are a daily program going on, and
his glory dot tv, which is where you'll find our
movies are docs and.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I it's a beautiful it's great, yeah production to listen
to any of their stuff. So I got a notification
I heard that you wrote a song. I said, wow,
this guy writes songs too, So it was amazing to see,
uh that you wrote a song.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And I was listening to the.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Words, and I guess it was seemed like it was
inspired you knew Charlie or you had met him, right, that's.
Speaker 12 (26:50):
I worked with him twice.
Speaker 13 (26:51):
The first time was right Part a long time ago
and he was just starting out with himcgannis Owens and
then Nick Sercy and I did a movie together called
America God at His Grace. On the It was about
how this country wouldn't be here if it wasn't for God.
John Rich was kind enough to give us the music
for the final segment. It was just a neat movie
(27:12):
and Charlie starred in that and spending that day with him.
Speaker 12 (27:17):
It was incredible. I mean, he could quote scripture. He
was just one of the smartest, sharpest guys I knew.
Speaker 13 (27:23):
And then it turned out we had the same pastor
and Rob McCoy we went to the same church back
in California when I used to live out there, so
he would come out and he would preach there and
he would come visit, and you know, when he died,
I thought, we need to need to do a song
here about this. And I spent three days trying to
write a song. We wrote it, recorded it, and it
(27:44):
just wasn't right. And I sat down and I prayed
to God. I said, look, I feel like I should
do something, but this isn't right. What am I supposed
to do? And he just said, just write him a note,
just writing my note saying so long, Charlie. And that's
that's where the song came from. And I think you'll
see that my buddy Tim Lowry did an incredible job
(28:04):
putting this video together.
Speaker 12 (28:06):
And I hope it helps people, you know, I hope
it helps his family.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
It was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
It was comforting when I when I heard it, and
we're going to play it for the audience in a
minute do you guys have any closing thoughts or questions
for Chris before we let him go, because we are going.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
To play a song.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I know it's a short interview because we do want
the audience to see your beautiful song and video.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Thank you for your work. Yeah, definitely, no.
Speaker 12 (28:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 13 (28:31):
I hope your audience likes it. I'm honored to be

light here in East Texas. But just God bless you guys.
I mean you're in New York, we're down here, and

Speaker 12 (28:43):
And remember Charlie's family on his birthday.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
God bless them is right, and you know, all of
us share that patriot threat around the country together, near
and far. We're very blessed to have friends like you
around the country that are fighting the same fight. And
we hope you come back and visit us here soon.
Chris and I absolutely love Janet. She's your best friend
for the list. Since we've been talking so.
Speaker 12 (29:06):
But and again, I want to say thank you so much.
Speaker 13 (29:08):
You know, for the last year when you hosted me
in New York, I grew much fonder of New York
after spending time with you.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
All that's amazing. Well, this home is always here for you.
We're onto big things here. We hope you can join
us eventually again in New York, and we'll always here
to support and get out your messaging. So we hate
to have you go so soon, but we do want
to have the audience play your beautiful watch and here
your beautiful song, and hopefully you can come back and
visit the Patriots podcast soon and be a guest and
(29:36):

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Thank you, Chris Jobless, and thank you for being with
us great, Thank you all right? Can trump queue that up? Please?
(30:00):
Long Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 10 (30:03):
You left this way too soon, and words cannot experience.
Speaker 9 (30:09):
Just how much it really hurts.
Speaker 10 (30:13):
But the message that you served and.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
The movement that you turn will carry on, so the
lad truth will forever shine and burn.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
Soon, long Charlie, you're going. The first time that I
met you, you.
Speaker 9 (30:45):
Told me of your love for an angel name Erica

Speaker 2 (30:55):
You walked into the.
Speaker 10 (30:56):
Lines day and you didn't bring again.
Speaker 9 (31:01):

Long, Charni Joung go in Ho Yong away home.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
You walked into the blinds Dad, and.
Speaker 10 (32:00):

Speaker 9 (32:03):
Now your time on Earth is ended, and.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Her father says, well, so.
Speaker 9 (32:15):
Long Charny. You're going, Ji, Y're going, yes? Good Johnny,
(32:44):

Speaker 2 (34:01):
But there was a beautiful video attached to this.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I'm sorry, guys that you sat through without the video still,
so we might try to play it during the commercial break.
So Chris, if you're watching, so, I'm very sorry. I
know that video was beautiful. But let's give Chris a
rundom applause for that beautiful song, and if the control
room can get that ready again, maybe we'll play that again.
I want to show the beautiful video that goes along
with it.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Yeah, that was just amazing.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
So we're going to go to commercial breaking about a minute.
But I am going to read well or just let
you guys know. I don't know if you guys know.
Officially that at the end of September, the US Senate
and House of Representatives passive resolution establishing today October fourteenth,
the birthday of Charlie Kirk as National Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.
So what is an official day in remembrance of him.
So every year on this day, we hope you wear
(34:46):
red and you honor Charlie.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
And we only have a few seconds off. I was
turning points.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Put something out today about the thirty one wage you
can honor Charlie, and I'll start with some of them
until we go to commercial break. If you'd like to
honor Charlie the way he did in his thirty one
years on earth under the Sabbath, that's number one journal
every day. Send scripture to friends, have conversations with people
you disagree with, register to vote, get.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Married, have kids, go to church in that order. I
like that order.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
We'll go to church first, work out, get sun, ask
your spouse how can.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I better serve you?
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Read your Bible every day, stand up for your beliefs,
eat hot sauce, and we'll get back to the other
ones in a minute. But we're going to go to commercial. Brank,
thank you for tuning in.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Welcome back to the Patriots Podcast. We are in our
last segment. Already goes fast.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I am going to finish reading the thirty one ways
on a Charlie Kirk, but I do want to say
you write hot sauce. I love that we'll email you
the link to Chris Burgard's song because I really want
you guys see the video. So if you're not subscribed
to the America First Warehouse, please go on our website subscribe.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
You'll see our email blasts.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
We don't send a lot, we don't try to inundate people,
but I do want to get this video out so
you can keep.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
An eye out. That way. Beautiful, so beautiful, and thank
you Chris.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
And I'm sorry we the video didn't play, but I'm
going to finish. These are the thirty one ways turning
to point put out. So the last one I think
I said was eat hot sauce, but this next one's
one of my favorites. Carry a pocket constitution, which I
do every day. I'll do and support local businesses. Seventeen
is drink Mint Majesty Tea with two honeys, which we're
honoring him here with tonight. Avoid drugs and alcohol, don't
(36:24):
be afraid of what others think of you. Get eight
hours of sleep.
Speaker 12 (36:27):
Man.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I don't follow a lot of these rules.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Limit your social media, and take touch grass and get
out in nature God's green earth. I learn something new
every day. Be a leader, not a follower. Never surrender,
be bold and courageous, outwork your enemy.
Speaker 9 (36:45):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Read the college scam work to own land. Number thirty
was become ungovernable, which I think I did in Turning
and number thirty one. Pick up the mic and don't
be afraid to be bold and speak out. So with
further ado, I am going to Yes, we could collap
to that. It's good stuff for Charlie. Those those are
a turning point. Put into honor Charlie. That's for Charlie.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
So our next guest, Matthew, I always said this wrong.
Last time.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
You might have to help me. Mat Margolewski, Yes, okay, good.
I'm tired by the end of a Tuesday. And Matthew
was here with us the night of the vigil. I
got a lot of people that came up to me
at the end said who is that young man? He's amazing.
You spoke beautifully. And Matthew, unfortunately is no longer with
Turning Point because he is in law school.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
He's a very smart kid. It's a good reason, right,
but yeah, we could collap for that.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
He made it to law school. We need good conservative
lawyers out there. And he was the TPUSA Chapter president
for Adelphi University, and your messaging was beautiful when you
were here a few weeks ago. So you want to
tell us a little bit about yourself, and I guess
from where you started with Turning Point until getting to
law school, which is what was one of my dreams.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
I love that you're in law school.
Speaker 10 (38:00):
Sure. Well, first, thank you ladies for having me.
Speaker 14 (38:02):
It's truly a pleasure of being here again my second time,
and so far, so good. I'm really really enjoying my
time here. So exactly so, my Turning Point journey started,
I would say in high school. I wasn't too familiar
with Turning Point, but I did see videos of Charlie
Kirk on college campuses speaking to students engaging in civil
dialogue as we all should, and it really inspired me,
(38:25):
you know, listening to what he was talking about, I
thought to myself, Hey, these are the ideas that I
believe in myself.
Speaker 10 (38:32):
At that time, I wasn't too political.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
But they resonated right.
Speaker 10 (38:36):
And so that was towards the tail end of high school.
Then I got into a college.
Speaker 14 (38:41):
I attended Saint John's University for the first year until
I transferred out, but how my journey started. I didn't
know that there was a chapter first during my first
semester during the fall of twenty twenty, but I was
introduced in the spring semester to the Turning Point chapter,
and Anthony, who was on earlier, was on the executive
board already for the chapter. But we weren't yet recognized
(39:03):
by the school. But I decided one day, Hey, let
me go to their tabling event, see what it's about.
Speaker 10 (39:08):
And so I went to their.
Speaker 14 (39:11):
Tabling event the next one that I found out about,
and I just walked up to them. I said, Hey,
you know, I really like what you guys are doing.
Do you mind if I get involved? And they welcomed
me with open arms, and immediately I jumped into action.
People were walking by, I'd say, hey, you know, have
you heard of Turning Point? Do you want to get involved?
And we were met mostly with opposition, surprisingly at Saint John's,
(39:35):
but who cares. We're there to, you know, talk about
what we believe in, try to promote our ideas as conservatives,
And immediately right after the first tabling event, they said, hey,
would you like to be the spokesman of the group,
And of course I gladly accepted, and from there we
went on to host a couple of events. We hosted
Isabelle Brown, who is now the Daily Wire. We also
(39:57):
hosted will Wit and they were great events. And then
moving forward, after I transferred out of Saint John's going
towards a Delphi, there was no turning Point chapter yet established,
so I figured, let me take lead, let me start
the turning point chapter, which I did, and we were
very successful. We worked in coordination with the College Republicans,
which I was also on the board.
Speaker 10 (40:17):
Of, and all we want to do was spread.
Speaker 14 (40:19):
Conservative values on college campus, which we know aren't popular,
and we had a great time.
Speaker 10 (40:25):
It was successful, I'd say.
Speaker 14 (40:26):
Unfortunately, both at Saint John's and Adelphi weren't officially recognized,
but we were still out there doing what we needed
to do, making sure to spread the message, trying to
get kids involved.
Speaker 10 (40:36):
And that's really it.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
That's great, amazing, that's really you know, thank you to
not have a school recognize you and to push forward
and do it anyway.
Speaker 14 (40:47):
Yeah, I mean with a lot of these schools, there's bureaucracy.
Of course, at Saint John's we got turned down twice,
and at Adelphi it was a little bit easier, but
at that point when I had wanted to start the chapter,
it was two in the year. But of course we
still brought to our tabling events. We still brought it's
amazing turning point merchandise.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
What was their reasoning for not allowing you to start
the chapter? I mean, it seems so biased and racist
what they call.
Speaker 10 (41:12):
Well at same jo.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
I mean, what would there be the reason? I want
to know what the reason? Do they give you a reason?
Speaker 14 (41:18):
It's what they tried to They tried to tie us
into Charlie Kirk being racist and a white supremacist, and
somehow every time I don't know exactly how the process
was because I wasn't the one doing it. It was
mainly the president and vice president. I was just the spokesman.
But they would just try to say that, oh, this
is not a group that we want on campus. And
(41:38):
it's ridiculous because you know, all the other left wing
organizations would get in with these are this is This.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
Is just a prime example as why Charlie said, like,
rethink sending your kids to college children like young young
men and women. Rethink the path forward that you have
as you're leaving high school. There are so many other
ways forward in your life that will certainly what my
kids be better.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
I say one time, especially in the last few years, like,
my goal isn't to get my kids into Ivy League schools.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
My goal is to get my kids into the Kingdom Heaven.
That's right. We want our kids in Heaven. Amen.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
Yeah, And then follow your calling, right, everybody's everybody has
different gifts, everybody has is tapped for different things. Follow
your passion, follow your calling, and don't feel you have
to do what the culture is doing. And that's what
I think happened absolutely long when our kids have been
growing up. So but anyway, it's it's unfathomable to me
that that is experienced in American college campuses. And I
(42:35):
said it before with the other segment, but Saint John's
like at a Catholic you haven't say, yeah, it's it's
it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
So and he said he went there for his values,
you know, and you think they would honor that. But
you know what, Saint everywhere, Saint John's a Delphi. Think
no one has a choice right now because I think
the tide is changing. I think there's going to be
Turning Point chapters and a million Jolley courts will rise
up like they said it would happen.
Speaker 14 (43:00):
Yeah, And I just want to say, although I'm not
really involved with Turning Point anymore, though I am the
vice president of the Long Island Activism Hub with Ben
Ben Findling.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
But I didn't know you would put with that stuff.
Speaker 10 (43:11):
Yeah, we're actually law school classmates.
Speaker 12 (43:13):
Nice.
Speaker 14 (43:14):
Yeah, we met at our at one of the Saint
John's events that we put on, and we've been best
buddies ever since.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
So tell us about your law school journey and what
do you hope to do when you finish.
Speaker 10 (43:24):
Sure, So just a little bit of background.
Speaker 14 (43:26):
I've known since high school I wanted to go into law,
so it's really great to see that I've made it
this far.
Speaker 10 (43:34):
But really I would say, moving.
Speaker 14 (43:38):
Forward with law, we need to defend our values right
and a lot of that takes place in the legal system.
Speaker 10 (43:44):
So I've known for a long time now.
Speaker 14 (43:46):
That constitutional law is something that I want to get into.
Speaker 10 (43:48):
I want to fight for our freedoms.
Speaker 14 (43:51):
Ben and I we talk all the time about you know,
what case we want to take on next.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Obviously, we still need to pass the bar, but I
have a good feeling.
Speaker 8 (44:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (44:01):
And also in our constitutional law class, you know, just
making sure that we talk about what we believe in
because even though I would say law school they're more
open to other ideas. Of course they're it's it's predominantly liberal.
So using your voice, I would say to the younger
audience who are there, maybe if they're in college or
(44:22):
in high school, if you're considering going to law school
and you're conservative, do it.
Speaker 10 (44:28):
I don't don't have any regrets.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
You need to go. We needed to learn.
Speaker 10 (44:31):
About the law and you need to fight for your
values using law.
Speaker 3 (44:35):
So that's what job's Sorry, it's great job security too,
because we know that we're going.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
To have to keep having these betts.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
I'm thinking.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
Us in this room, well, how many times in the
last five years that we wish we had a constitutional.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
Lawyer in our toolbox? And you're going to be it
when you pass your bar. Now we know who to call.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
There you go, But we need a lot of good,
strong constitutional lawyers because it seems like that pesky constitution
that everyone doesn't want to follow is you know, it's
frustrating that we've gotten here today, but to know that
there's young minds out there, and you know, young heart's
doing it is very I'm very grateful for that.
Speaker 4 (45:09):
It's encouraging to it is. It really is very much
an inspiration for a lot of young kids.
Speaker 10 (45:13):
And don't be fooled, this generation gen Z is very conservative.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
So I'm real worried about that. Yeah, I'm realizing that now.
I don't know about those millennials out there, but yes.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Gen Z seems to be I'm very proud of that.
We saw that we were able.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
We went to the Wildwood rally for Donald you know,
for President Trump before his election. And what I was
so amazed by in that sea of red hats and
was thousands and thousands and thousands of young adults from
like high school age to like mid twenties, and I thought,
oh my god, finally, finally America's coming back.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
So we need you guys doing this kind of People
feel like they have the permission now, right that whole
courage think it's cool.
Speaker 4 (45:50):
Mansion.
Speaker 3 (45:51):
People are tired, like I said before, and people feel
like they have permission to speak their minds and live
their faith boldly.
Speaker 2 (45:56):
And it's great to see it really is. Thanks for
what you've been doing. Revival is coming in many shapes
and form.
Speaker 8 (46:02):
Sure is.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
It's not just a religious revival, it's it's everywhere. Yeah,
it's freedom, it's a liberty revisal. Revival is changing and
the tides are turning well for sure. Well, thank you
guys for what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
And I we're going to be working with Ben and Anthony,

of you guys in the Activism Hub, and we want
to be a place that you guys can all call home,

through the work of TPUSA and all those carrying.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
In your name, God Lord, we ask your blessing over
everyone listening today and over the local chapters working faithfully
to equip young men and women to live out their
convictions with grace and strength. Give them the courage to
speak truth and love, to lead with integrity, and to
keep their eyes fixed on You, as you are the
ultimate source of wisdom and hope. A Charlie's example remind
(47:53):
us that one life fully surrendered to Christ can make
a lasting difference in this world. Help us each time
to do the same, to be the salt and the
light wherever you've placed us. We entrust all that has
been shared today into your hands, and we ask that
you continue to guide this movement for your glory alone.
