Charlie's death robbed America and the conservative movement of one of its greatest figures, at the exact moment where he was reaching the peak of his abilities and his impact on the world. The tragedy of Charlie's loss is unthinkable, but his memory will be eternal. To close 2025, the show team goes back through the very best of Charlie's video clips from the past year, ranging from the Trump inauguration to his Newsom interview to the very last video he ever made.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro
American student organization in the country, fighting for the future
of our republic.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
If the most important thing for you is just feeling good,
you're gonna end up miserable. But if the most important
thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful. College is
a scam, everybody. You got to stop sending your kids
to college. You should get married as young as possible
and have as many kids as possible. Go start at
turning point you would say, college chapter. Go start atturning point.
Yould say high school chapter. Go find out how your

(00:36):
church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist.
I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade,
most important decision I ever made in my life, and
I encourage you to do the same. Here I am.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Lord, Use me.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show
is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver
experts and the only precious metals company. I recommend to
my family, friends and viewers.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Hey, everybody, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. I'm
really looking forward to this, Blake, we have a lot
to get to because this is Charlie in his own words,
and actually, Blake, it was sort of your idea to
do this. I think he's you and some of the team,
So why don't you set the table for us?

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah? Well, I think it's pretty clear what this year
means for all of us.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
What I guess I would just remind people that despite
what happened in September, this was a tremendous year. One
of the biggest tragedies about losing Charlie when we did
is that we lost him at his absolute peak. He
really was at the height of his accomplishment, the height
of his influence, the height of his impact on the world.

(01:58):
And if there's anything positive that came out of the
horrendous thing, the horrendous events of September, it's that that
really ensured that his message will be immortal. He will
always be as we saw him in twenty twenty five.
We'll never have to see him get old, We'll never
have to see him lose his fastball, We'll never have

(02:20):
to see Charlie mess up. Really, he's just He's always
going to be Charlie in twenty twenty five. And I
think the best way to remember him is to look
back on those events of twenty twenty five. And we
just have a whole roster of videos and we encourage
everyone to email us free to met Charlie Kirk with
some of their favorite memories and we'll try to get

(02:42):
to them. But with that in mind, should we should
we just start rolling through it?

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Andrew, Yeah, I love that. The first one, my first
one on our clip sheet here is Greenland. And I
will never forget when Charlie was like, hey, I need
you to host the show. I was like, okay, sure,
what's up. And He's like, I gotta go Greenland. I
was like, of course, of course you do. And now
you gotta put everyone. None of us had any idea.

(03:07):
It was so secret. It was just super secret, and
you know, I think Mikey got to go with him,
but the you know, because you gotta go with somebody.
But the funny thing is is, you know, Trump's saying, hey,
we want to buy Greenland or we want to bring
Greenland in and I think they still harbor those desires,
but they sent an envoy with it was Sergio Gore,

(03:28):
Charlie Kirk, Don Junior Uh and Charlie Uh in true
Charlie fashion, recorded the memory one fifty seven.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Quite a day here in Greenland. Sergio incredible, you're a
Trump forse one. Don is over here, friendliest people, they
love America. And we'll see what happens to make Greenland
great again. And the sun is setting. It's only two
thirty in the afternoon.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
The sun is setting. It's just one of those things.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
And it's very very cold here. And as we kind
of liked on a great time here in Greenland, Greenland more.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Soon he really liked, He really liked Greenland. He was talking.
He would talk about how beautiful it was.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
In the keys that you'd find, yeah, in the fields
and when the snow he just liked.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
I think he just liked that raw, open space beauty.
You know, Charlie and I would disagree about this. He
he really loves He hates high rises, He hated urban masses.
So I think he really liked the idea of this
place that was the size of, you know, a continent
essentially and had fifty thousand people on it. And I
think he really liked the limitless possibilities that that implied

(04:40):
with it. And you know, he he remained very attached
to that Greenland idea all the way.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Love, he loved the locals there. He actually did, and
he talked about it. One fifty eight.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
We're here in Greenland with Don Junior.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
Everyone wants to be on TikTok.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
What do you guys think of America?

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Great? Great love America and you loved Trump?

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, of course the youth of.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Green hearing a lot of it.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
Guys, we're here in a lot of it.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
And you guys all watch TikTok. Didn't you live from Greenland?

Speaker 3 (05:09):
It's funny. I actually, uh, you know, we had down
on the podcast and uh at Amfest. So he came
and did a private podcast with us, which was phenomenal.
But when he was walking out, we talked about the
Greenland trip and it's Don said it was something he
thought he thinks about, you know, pretty often. And there's
a by the way, there's a bunch of that footage

(05:30):
that nobody has ever seen before that's going to be
coming out, which will be pretty cool. I can't say
more than that, but there was a camera crew that
captured a lot of footage. It has not been released,
so uh. Then in January we also had the inauguration
Blake and uh, this was Charlie and Erica at the
inauguration ball, hours before Trump would take the oath of office.

(05:53):
One fifty nine.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Hours away from President Donald Trump taking the open of office.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
He hid on what's going on?

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Got judged in Alena, mister Sergio eric and as we
are here, we're waiting for some people to take the stage.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Well, the village people.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Let's see what happens.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
I gotta go figure out what's going on when they go.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Check that was That was so funny, man. I remember
that that was all highly memorable. But I think for
Charlie his favorite moment. He enjoyed the ball, he enjoyed
the festivities, but he he did speak repeatedly that it
was very meaningful to him. Remember it was the auguration,

(06:38):
A lot of people were planning to go. It was
gonna be a big outside event. And then it was
a deep freeze. It was five degrees out or something
like that. It was very bitterly cold, so they moved
it indoors into the rotunda. They didn't want anyone having
their nose freeze off while waiting.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
To see the president.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
I think that was probably the right move, and it
really speaks to the esteem the president had for and
what he did to help bring about his victory that
with so many Congressmans, such a limited number of people
able to fit into that rotunda, it's not that big
of a room that they did give a.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Seat to Charlie and Erica.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
And so we have a clip of that, let's play
one sixty.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
I remember that well because there was a big brew
haha afterwards from some of the Democrat congressmen that were
upset that Charlie got a closer seat to the president
than they did.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
I think there was I think there was some upset
from Republican congressman.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yes, yeah, it was. It was hilarious and it was like,
who was it? It was senator, Oh gosh, I'm blanking.
Senators swooped in to defend Charlie put it that way,
and they were They basically said, well, when you do
as much to elect a president as Charlie Kirk, then
maybe you can get a better seat. It was like,

(08:19):
you know, just the inauguration too, I want to pause there.
That ball that we had that turning point hosted, it
was absolutely swamped with people. I was told it was
the hottest ticket in town. Everybody wanted to get to
that that ball.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
It was one of the hottest rooms in town. You
have that many people crowded in. Oh it got I
sweated a bit.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah, it was. It was something we've never done. We
ended up having a total meltdown in the coat room.
I'll never forget. At the end of the night, when
everybody was trying to finally go home, I ended up
running into the coat room trying to find coats and
all our staff went in because the hotel staff, I remember,
completely swamped and they whatever their filing system. It was terrible.

(09:01):
So we were actually like escorting guests back into the
room saying, what does your coat look like? You know,
it was a total, total nightmare. But the fact that
Turning Point got to host a ball and the Vice
President came, which is by the way, why Charlie was
checking on the village people because we had to hold
the village people off so long because Vice President Vance,
you know, on those nights, gets delayed because he's got

(09:23):
to do a few different stops, so he was delayed
getting to the ball, So we delayed the village people
going up. And that was a whole thing. Behind the
scenes as well. I mean, it's all the all the memories, Blake.
It's it's hard to it's hard to fully appreciate it.
But here we mentioned J. JD. Vance. So let's play
a TikTok of JD and Charlie flying on Air Force two.

(09:47):
That would be one sixty one.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Let's got a ride from our amazing vice president, say
hi JD.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Hey, guys, when you get elected vice president, they give
you a sweet jacket, so it was all.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Worth it when we're having fun in DC. Stay safe
out there and this plane.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Thanks y man, Thanks everyone.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
That is a sweet jacket. I should become vice president.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
That's next step for you. Like that. We'll get to
work on that in twenty twenty six. And I will
say Charlie was actually JD. Vance's first guest on Air
Force two, which was pretty special. Hey, Andrew Colvett, here,
do you want to own a home? The time to
act is now. For the first time in years, buyers

(10:26):
finally have the upper hand. There's more inventory, more negotiating power,
and less competition. But this window of opportunity won't stay
open for long. As soon as the FED cuts rates,
buyer demand is expected to spike, driving prices up and
giving sellers the advantage once again. With peak home buying
season in full swing, now is your moment to secure
the right home on your terms. Don't wait for the

(10:48):
market to shift. I have done this before, and you
don't want to do it. Reach out today to get
approved for mortgage financing with our dear dear friends Andrew
and Todd. They are godly men and good men. I
trust them just like Charlie did. Here him talk about
Andrew and Todd in his own words.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Go to Andrewintodd dot com or called Triple A Triple
eight eleven seventy two. These are the guys that I
trust with forty years of experience. They really are the experts,
and they make it easy because they keep everything in house.
Called Triple Light Triple eight eleven seventy two, or go
to andrewin toodd dot com that is Andrewintodd dot com.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Blake, you have an email about Charlie's beloved Bears.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Yeah, yeah, Before we continued, I just thought, Michael sent
us an email and he said he watches the show
every day. He misses Charlie like a lost friend, and
he wanted to mention something that we don't touch on.
And there's a reason I don't touch on this, he says.
Charlie was a big Chicago Bears fan, and he notes,
I remember just before Charlie's murder, Charlie was on air

(11:47):
lamenting his beloved Bears performance.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
And that's right. The Bears.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
They had a bad start to this season. Charlie was
optimistic with their new coach. He thought they'd be better,
but they looked they looked like the same old Bears.
And Michael is right. The Bears have since then gone
on quite the streak. They have won the NFC North.
They beat during Amfest. I avoided events to go watch

(12:13):
the Packers play the Bears, and they choked in catastrophic fashion.
So the Bears are going to the playoffs. Yeah, the
Bears have got some big wins.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
I the Bears are doing great, Charlie. Charlie is donkeying
on me from heaven, yes joke now, and his ducks
are doing well too, So we're gonna keep an eye
on that. We'll keep mentioning it. Let's get some more
clips here. This was Charlie was a huge fan of
Elon Musk. He just genuinely was He loved Elon Musk

(12:44):
as an entrepreneur that he built physical things. He was
very excited that Elon was in the administration and helped
working on Doge so much so that he had us
make Doge shirts at the Charlie Kirk Show and much
talked about Doge at Turning Point, which people have taken
to me so many crazy things, but it was just
Charlie just loved Elon Musk and he respected him and

(13:06):
they talked for hours. They had dinners together after the
election after Trump won, got to know him personally and
that was a great, a great joy for him. One
sixty four, he shows off the Maga Red Tesla at
the White House. One sixty four, So.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
The president has a new car. Look at that beautiful
red Maga Tesla.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
It's beautiful.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Everybody supporting Elon Musk. We won't put up with domestic terrorism.
That's the President's new car. What do you guys think?
Drop a comment of the red Maga Tesla and Blake
we've told we we said it before in the show.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
But when Musk and President Trump had that falling out,
Charlie made he called his shot and he said, by
the by Christmas, they will be having dinner, and he was.
It was actually ahead of he did, and there were
a lot of people there was a lot of temptation
to really uh, some people were really beating up on
Musk when that was reaching its peak, and Charlie was emphatic.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
He said, one, I'm not going to first. He said,
I'm just not going to do it because I am
grateful to Elon for what he did. He said, this
is right after I started working with you guys. He said,
Musk bought x Or bought Twitter, and he said, this
is the most important purchase by a private person in
American history. He just said it, and I thought that

(14:21):
sounds wacky, but.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
He was correct.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
It was hugely important, not just the election, but for
American society for free speech worldwide.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
It really set.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
The tone that the era of cancel culture, the era
of censorship, is not going to win out. And he
was very grateful for that, and he was I know
he was privately messaging Elon about that, just saying, you know,
whatever goes on, I'm grateful for that. And he was
very optimistic that the President and Elon would reconcile and
continue to work together.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
And we've seen evidence that that's the case.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Just in the past week, Elon has really been pushing
this Somali fraud story, and I think Charlie's willingness to
repair that relationship played a big role in that.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Well, and I I will I will say that at
the memorial, I posted a picture that kind of went
viral of Elon and Trump up in the press box
watching the memorial play out, and I said, I hope
they're saying to one another for Charlie. And about an
hour later, Elon posted that same image basically one. It
was a little more flattering of him, which was fair

(15:25):
that and he said for Charlie, and it was, it was.
It was a really beautiful moment. I want to play
this next clip. This is one sixty six BLM plose
its being torn apart in DC. This was a very
full circle moment for the show for Charlie. The Charlie
kirkshow really blew up in size and audience numbers during BLM,
and Charlie just went off on it. I remember he

(15:47):
called me and he said, I'm gonna go hard. I
feel like I need to go hard this this needs
to stop. And I said, I'm one hundred percent behind you.
Whatever happens happens like this needs to stop. Let's do it.
And you fast forward March of twenty twenty five and
BLM Plaza is getting dismantled in Washington, DC with a
new president and new leadership, and Charlie was right there

(16:08):
to watch it. One sixty six.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Hey, everybody live from Black Lives Matter Plaza. Well it's
not called that anymore, as you can see the working
cruiser out and it is the end of this mass
race hysteria happening in our country. This right here, by
the way, that was the church they tried to burn down.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
You remember.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
The cruiser out here removing this two block long mural
of Black Lives Matter Plaza out here in the streets
of Washington, d C.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
It is quite the upper They have.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
To actually get down through the street.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Itself to.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Get rid of all of the nonsense. Here make America
great again a BLM plaza.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
I love that he said ending race hysteria, because Charlie
unfairly gets laid as a racist, as we sort of
all do. But really what he was raging against, and
this was one of his central themes, was this weaponization
of racial grievances that was tearing the country apart, still
is in some ways, but certainly made huge strides and

(17:16):
the election of Donald Trump it was a full circle
moment that I will never forget. And Charlie recognized it
for what it was and he celebrated it because Charlie
was not a doomer. He was optimistic about the future
of this country.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
One thing that was really happening in twenty twenty five
Charlie was getting on less and less likely podcasts, and
I think a real marker that was super interesting and
some people really did not want us to do it
was Charlie went on the first He was the first
guest on Gavin Newsom's podcast, And I say people really

(17:52):
debated it, and Charlie debated it because obviously.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
There's do you want to go on a liberal show?

Speaker 4 (17:57):
He'd done that a few times, but this is a
literal left wing politician. But the biggest thing people would
say is Gavin Newsom clearly wants to run for president.
And if Charlie goes on a show, are you basically
bringing into being Gavin Newsom rebranding himself as the big
foe of MAGA, the big foe of President Trump? Are

(18:18):
you making it so he's able to run for president
in twenty twenty eight. And I will say Charlie's thinking was,
somebody is going to go on this show, and I
don't want it to be someone besides me, because I
think he was very aware. I think the line we
use is we don't want to midwife President Newsom into
being and it turned out to be a great call

(18:39):
because the most immortal moment from that appearance is when
Gavin Newsom has to say his own son is a
big fan of Charlie.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Let's play one seventy one.

Speaker 7 (18:49):
Last night, trying to put my son to bed, He's like, no, Dad,
I just what time. What time's Charlie gonna be here?

Speaker 1 (18:54):
What time?

Speaker 7 (18:55):
And I'm like, dude, you're in school him when he's thirteen.
He's like, Nona, this morning wakes up, it sicks up.
Then he's like I'm coming. I'm like, he literally would
not leave the house.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Did you let him to take off school?

Speaker 7 (19:05):
No? He did, of course not. He's not here for
a good reason. But the point is the council.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
School for two years.

Speaker 7 (19:10):
On the point is the point, which is you are
making a damn dead And.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
I'm kidding You know what's ironic about that, though, is
that Gavin Newsom would then later come back after Charlie
was assassinated, and he sort of tried to walk that back.
My son was aware of him. It wasn't necessarily a fan.
He was just aware of him, and that just really
really ticked me off. I have to be honest. I
think I mentioned it a couple times on the show

(19:36):
because I found it so galling. We knew for about
a year before that interview, we'd been hearing rumors that
Gavin Newsom's son was a fan of Charlie's. We'd heard
it from multiple sources, and we kind of knew it
was true. We just didn't know Gavin himself was going
to admit as much. During the podcast sit down, Blake,
You and I traveled up to the Bay Area for

(19:56):
that interview, and we were prepping Charlie on all the
different California policies, and it was quite an experience. I
will say that thing went viral. It felt like it
was like the longest news cycle. It was a There
was a course. Gavin Newsom admitted in that podcast that
he found it deeply unfair that men could compete in
women's sports, and that sent shockwaves across the Democrat establishment

(20:21):
and it ended up being becoming sort of a a
larger question about where the Democrats going to moderate in
an attempt to win back power. In twenty twenty six
and twenty twenty eight, Gavin seemed to be tracking on
a moderation course that now the whole party seems to
have moved against. So the in the Democrats struggle for

(20:41):
which way the party's gonna go. Gavin Newsom his first
instincts were probably right if you wanted to actually win
political power long term. But it seems the powers that
be within the Democratic Party have have won the tug
Award and they're gonna go more radical. I don't know
if you'd agree, Blake, but that's that's been my Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
No, we'll see because he remains definitely a front runner.
I think everyone expects him to run. We'll see if
he does successfully make himself the champ. The other big
show that it was remarkable that Charlie was excited to
go on and it was a little outside his usual wheelhouse.
He went on Bill Maher's show Club Random, I believe

(21:20):
is what it was. The one he has Yeah, he
went on that a short time later. I don't think
we have too many clips from it. Unfortunately. The best
thing about it, though, which we don't have on camera.
Charlie would definitely not have wanted that film. He was
very upset after he came out of that interview with Bill.
He thought he'd done really badly. He thought it was

(21:40):
going to play really badly, and he was really upset.
And I just told him, Charlie, you're paranoid. And the
reason you're paranoid is that Bill Maher was smoking weed
the entire time and you got all this second and smoking.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
He hot boxed you for an hour.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
Oh I remember, I'll never forget. Charlie walked out, got
in the car and he was he did not want
to talk to me. I was like, Charlie, that was great. No,
you did great, man. And I actually knew why he
was upset. He missed a couple openings that he normally
would have seized on, but it's because he was stoned.
He got secondhand high. It was hilarious and he was
really paranoid. Hey, everybody, this is Andrew Colvett, executive producer

(22:18):
of The Charlie Kirk Show. Berna Is proud to continue
supporting Charlie Kirk's mission and the important work of turning
Point USA, because empowering Americans to defend their freedoms begins
with protecting themselves, their families, and their communities. The Burna
less lethal launcher looks like a firearm, but it isn't one.
It fires powerful chemical, irritant and kinetic projectiles that can
stop a threat in its tracks, giving you the time

(22:41):
in space you need to get to safety. And now
you can hear from Charlie in his own.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Words, Burna is about preventing tragedy and preserving life without
the consequences of using lethal measures. It's legal in all
fifty states, requires no background checks, and over five hundred
thousand units are in the hands of responsible citizens and
law enforcement.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Berna can be.

Speaker 1 (23:00):

ease of use.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Be prepared, be confident, be safe. Go to Berna b

see why tens of thousands of Americans are choosing Berna
for peace of mind. All right, The next piece we
were talking about Bill Maher. So let's skip ahead a
little bit. April UK shocks Bill Maher when he says

(23:28):
he doesn't drink alcohol. Bill Maher was shocked one seventy four.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Drink no, good, thank you. You don't drink no or
smoke pot and you're married and super Christian. We're gonna
get along great, No, this is this is gonna just
be perfect. And they did get on great. They did
get on great.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
I thought I got I got a yeah, I got
a great note from Bill Worth saying after Charlie was assassinating,
just assassinated, just said saying how much he genuinely enjoyed
his time with Charlie in their conversation and how horrible
he thought it was. And you know, I thought that
was a pretty nice thing for him to reach out, So,

(24:08):
you know, but it was. It was a it was
a memorable visit. It was a memorable visit driving it
into LA with Charlie, him getting hot boxed, him being
so paranoid, thinking he did a terrible job. And then
for that episode to be one of I think it was,
if not the top most watched episode, was in the
top three all time of Bill Maher's Club Random podcast.

(24:31):
So good for good for Charlie. There we we got
to play this one here. This is from March so
back one it was Ashton Hall viral morning routine. You
guys did this on Thought Crime. I was not there
because I probably would have asked this and I would
have ruined a really memorable moment with Charlie. So I'm
glad I wasn't there. One seventy three, he's defiant.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
You'll never be a top influencer now. You will never
you will never make it. Now is this really what
he did? What is what is the health property of this?
It's really funny this guy one more time?

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Whoa?

Speaker 2 (25:13):
I mean it has to be like ice bath type thing, right?
Is I supposed to like tighten.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Charlie.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
Yeah, it was a good sport. I'm surprised he was
so skeptical of it. I feel like Charlie could have
totally gotten into rubbing banana on your face, so he'd
be like, Blake, I have to rub a banana on
my face every morning. It gives me so much vitality,
it gives me glow.

Speaker 8 (25:37):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
Yeah, he had his own his own health stuff, the
woo woo as I would call it.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
You were always so hard on him about the woo woo,
the Charlie woo woo stuff. Charlie loved Maha. He was
all into it. And Blake was just like, wasn't there
that there was an Atlantic article that called it the
woo woo And You're like, it's right, It's right, it
is wooo. Charlie was like, oh, Blake, good times. I'm
miss I miss the you and Charlie's back and forth.

(26:03):
So let's go to back to April when the Bill
Maher podcast happened. Uh, this is one of the more
memorable tour tour stops at A and M. The Night Crowd.
He loved his visit to an M one seventy. I

(26:34):
love the way that very finishes off. He throws the
hats and and he does that, he does the what
does he do like this? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (26:41):
He does. There's ever the A and M has a
lot of traditions.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
What I loved about that it was so last minute
that they even did that. I think he only said
make sure you play their fight song. I think literally
in just as we arrived at the building, just before
he went out, Uh, someone told him he should do that.
He would like the reaction, and boy, boy did that
ever get the right reaction?

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Yeah? Well, and here's in April. It approved me wrong?
What is a woman?

Speaker 1 (27:09):
This?

Speaker 3 (27:10):
These these Charlie, Charlie spun them up with a mental conundrum,
a mental cul de sac that they couldn't get out of.
And he loved this question.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Can you tell me what a woman is?

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Are you a woman?

Speaker 1 (27:22):
You want to answer a question?

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yes, I am a woman? Okay, what are you?

Speaker 4 (27:27):
Great?

Speaker 3 (27:27):
What is a woman?

Speaker 2 (27:29):
What is a woman? A person who was born with
xx chromas I.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Agree, Hey, we have the culture, we have done it.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Oh, this says not the way you gotta train.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
I'm better a woman a person with x X chromosomes.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Deiplaric victory the culture.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Can I please explain what I'm trying to say?

Speaker 3 (27:54):
Thank you? Oh there's more?

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Can I please explain? You can explain?

Speaker 1 (27:57):
I think I think your statement is rather self out.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Listen. That is not to exclude trans women.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Got it. Charlie loved the proved me wrongs man. He
just loved him, and he loved he loved the viral moments.
He loved getting out and mixing up with students, and
he learned a ton interacting with them, and it was
really a secret sauce. And you know, Blake, you know
as well as anybody how excited Charlie was to get

(28:27):
back out on tour. And it's terrible that it ended
the way it did. But you know, we've said it before.
He died with his boots on and he loved being
out with the students and that that I think that
clip really demonstrates just how much how much he did.
Go ahead, Blake, Yeah, well.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
It just yeah, he he died with his boots on.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
He died doing exactly what he loved doing. He looked
forward to them all the time. I don't think he
I don't think he really would have wanted to go
any other way. You know, as as Erica said at
the memorial, it's like he just he was doing what
he loved and then he blinked and he was in paradise.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
That is.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, exactly. Here's another tough video for
me to watch. This is in May. C K and
Erica's anniversary advice after four years of marriage one sixty three.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Hello, TikTok, Today's a very special day. It is our
four year anniversary, four years marriage. What's your piece of
advice after four years for all the TikTok people, Oh
my goodness, love your husband well and get married. Yeah,
just get off your couch, stop watching all that terrible
stuff and go get married. Yes that's right, and go

(29:46):
on that adventure. It's the best thing ever and go
get married. It's amazing, happier than ever. God bless you guys.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Man. They they really did have an amazing love story.
And uh, it's very evident when you watch the clips.
It's very evident when you watch them. And we we
just can't say enough good things about Erica as well.
She's she's obviously had a terrible go of it in

(30:21):
a terrible year, and she's been so courageous and she's
been leaning into the Lord and leaning into her faith
and a total a model, an exemplary model for for
women all across the country. In May, Blake You're a Catholic,
we found out that there was a new pope from Chicago.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
That was a big, a big plot twist.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
I will say, yeah, we remember, I remember doing the
when the when the white smoke came out, we we
had to switch the whole show and we started calling
all our friends who were at the Vatican and in Italy,
and we we had we had a fun show trying
to assess what it all meant and who it was.
And then we found out it was an American one
sixty nine.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Hey, everybody, there's a new pope and the pope is
from Chicago. What do we actually know about this new pope? Well,
the pope is from Chicago. I am as well.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
He served in Peru.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
By the way, I'm not Catholic. By the way, I'm Evangelical,
But it still matters who the pope is. He is
a registered Republican and voted in Republican primaries and ran
a pro life group at Villanova University. So that's a
good time. There's a lot yet to learn about this pope,
but I hope that he will be a strong advocate
for strong borders and for sovereignty. The first ever American pope.

(31:32):
You to wonder, why is it that they picked an
American pope. Could be a coincidence, it could be nothing,
or is it they want a voice that is also
for the opening of American borders while we have President
Trump who knows.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Who knows?

Speaker 4 (31:45):
Yeah, maybe he's lucky he wasn't. He hasn't seen the
latest stuff from the Pope, some frustrating things. It would
have been a combative relationship to.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
Say football the ice ball is really still the peak
of weirdness from the Pope.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Oh not even the absolute peep weirdness has to be
patcha mama. Although I guess that was a different pope.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
But well, no, this is yeah, I'm talking about this
current Pope. Let's play a longer clip while we still
have the time. One seventy seven. This is at Cambridge.

Speaker 6 (32:14):
You promised, But America.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
First, haven't you and your ilk sold America out? Second,
someone actually tells you what you're doing, which.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
You just read.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Can you calm down a little bit, like a little
bit pounding the table?

Speaker 2 (32:25):
You're all over the place.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
No, do you want me to go piece by piece
or would.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
You like me to talk slower?

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Donald Trump is convening a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
Joe Biden gave a l can you not interrupt me?
I allowed you to talk uninterrupted. He is convening a
peace deal between Russia Ukraine. I believe we will see
an end to that war. Number two, he's actually talking
to Iran and discouraging Israel to strike the interior of
Iran and has stopped many other international countries to do

(32:51):
the same. And it's a lot better than when your
Prime Minister Boris Johnson went alongside our Secretary of State
Tony Blinken to Istanbul and unnecess necessarily blew up a
potential Russian peace deal, which has resulted in hundreds of
thousands of dead Ukrainians, one of the great unnecessary wars
of the modern era. Donald Trump believes in conversation and
police boot through strength. He has been president for well

(33:13):
over one hundred and twenty to one hundred and thirty days,
and he has already ended a war between two nuclear
conflicts of India Pakistan. He has secured our own US
southern border while we were being invaded by foreign powers.
And thirdly, he is brokering a potential settlement with Iran
that will prevent a major escalation in the Middle East.
And finally, it is very difficult, but I believe they'll

(33:33):
get it done. That will finally see an end to
the Russian Ukrainian War.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
We are still hoping for that end to that Russian
Ukrainian war, but more progress was made. Zelenski was just
at mar A Lago.

Speaker 6 (33:47):
This is Lane Schoenberger, chief investment Officer and founding partner
of Yrifi. It has been an honor and a privilege
to partner with Turning Point and for Charlie to endorse us.
His endorsement means the world to us, and we look
forward to continuing our partnership with Turning Point for years
to come. Now Here Charlie, in his own words, tell
you about why Refi.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
I'm want to tell you guys about why refight dot com.
That is why are e f y dot com. Y
refi is incredible private student loan debt in America told
us about three hundred billion dollars. Y refy is refinancing
distress or defaulted private student loans. You can finally take
control of your student loan situation with a plan that
works for your monthly budget. Go to yrefight dot com.
That is why refight dot com. Do you have a

(34:27):
co borrower, why ref i can get them released from
the loan. You can skip a payment up the twelve
times without penalty. It may not be available in all
fifty states. Go to yrefight dot com. That is why
are e f y dot com. Let's face it, if
you have distress or default the student loans. It can
be overwhelming because of privacudit loan debt. So many people
feel stuck. Go to y refight dot com. That is

(34:48):
y R e f y dot com Private student loan
debt relief yrefight dot com.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
Do we got any emails? Blake any emails? Well, we've
got a good number. We have several good emails. I
just let's see. I'd like to flag this one. Tim
and Judy.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
They sent us a message and they said, Charlie, he
was an amazing young man, and we are all Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
They say they lost their son this year.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
They will be happy for twenty twenty five to be
in the rear view mirror. But the number of people
Charlie touched is unbelievable. It was refreshing to hear see
and see how clear a vision he had for this country.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Turning Point must continue.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
To be an active force with our young people. President
Reagan says, we said we were a generation away from
losing our republic, but I think in twenty twenty four
we were much closer than that. Charlie is looking down
from heaven and watching what is taking place in our country.
God bless this great human being. Thank you very much
for that one.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
You kind of do you know. I said it at
the memorial, I said it again, and I'll say it
again and again that we don't grieve the way the
world grieves. We are obviously devastated at losing our personal
friend and you know, a brother and arms and and
you know, a leader of the movement and icon of
our country. All of that will never go away. But

(36:13):
you do sort of look at his life and it
has this poetic nature to it that it does. He
set about to save a generation from an ideology that
would wreck them and ruin the country, and he lived
to see it. He lived to see the youth volte
come the way of Donald Trump put him in the
White House. He lived to see young people flocking back

(36:36):
to church and two Mass, and he got to play
such a huge part in that struggle. And then he
was taken from us. But it's almost like, you know,
you could look at it a certain way, like his
mission was accomplished, Like he accomplished what God put him
on this planet to do, and he did it so
fast and with such gusto and with such charisma, and.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yeah, we've got another one here, Kim.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
Charlie was so right on and he shared, He was
so right on all that he shared, and he will
never be forgotten. I am so thankful for all he
did for us.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Thank you, Kim, Thank you.

Speaker 4 (37:16):
Just a lot a lot of emails from people, thank
you very much. We love we love seeing those messages
of support. We love seeing all the people that Charlie touched,
that he impacted, and especially getting them in these months
after what happened, to see the continuing impact of his
life on people.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
It's it's a great testament and legacy of his.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
This is a funny video blake. The statue of New York.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
Remember, so that's all because they're is that statue of
an let's just say angry, a large, angry black woman there.

(38:06):
And so the reason we had the smoke, Detective chirps, we.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
Have, we have the receipts.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
We shouldn't all go to.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
Uh. This is one c Rockefeller during the Pride Week.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
Sorry, conquered country. That is Rockefeller Center, no American flags.
Someone's doing the conquering.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
He was very happy about getting.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
Those are one of the subtle things the State Department
had that order right when the Trump badmin came in.
No more pride flags, no more trans flags. This is
the American flag. Is actually what we fly from our embassies.
Not if it's conquering foreign power.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
It's an important it's not even a foreign power. It's
an insidious domestic one and foreign. But let's go ahead
and play a cut of Charlie on Juneteenth, one of
his favorite topics. Derail against Juneteenth one sixty five.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Okay, everybody, a lot of people are gonna be saying
happy Juneteenth. It should not be a federal holiday. And
I'm on my way to work. Have a good day.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Charlie hated June teeth. Thought it was an intentional distraction
from July fourth. He didn't want competings competing independence days.
It was a Texas holiday that we turned into an as. Literally,
we don't like Juneteenth.

Speaker 4 (39:33):
Yeah, they called it juneteenth National Independence Day. They wanted
to replace the fourth of July. That's the only reason
they would call it something like that.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Here is Charlie finds out he's at the same restaurant
as Doug m. Hoff. What a Beta one seventy two.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Beta.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
Yeah, that was as Kamala's Bow or something.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
We have a few Let's let's skip ahead here because
we're running out of time, and I want to really
hit because this was such a peak to Charlie. He
was so excited for this. All of us were so
excited to see it. In August, when we learned he
was going to be on the latest episode of.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
South Park, we had all of the we.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
Had our own fan art ready to go, we had
the memes ready to go, and we had to explain
to Charlie whether it was still a good and honorable
thing to be on south Park and he had a
great reaction to it.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Let's play one.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Okay, everybody, the South Park episode just dropped, and honestly,
it is hilarious. I mean, part of it is kind
of like whatever typical humor, but it was hilarious. Just
watch this little snippet of our proved me wrongs, our
viral cultural domination on prime time on Comedy Central, so important,
so impactful that South Park because highlighting watch.

Speaker 8 (41:01):
I'm sick of people standing my stick. If anyone around
here is going to be a master debater, it's me.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
So let's go.

Speaker 3 (41:09):
Who wants to debate the master debater? Let's go. You're
right there.

Speaker 8 (41:13):
That's the stupidest haircut I've ever seen. You are around
limitic Kits three seventeen says it's now to be a
perpetual statue for your generations throughout all your dwemtings.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
So shout abe.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
You just hate American you love abortions.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Not only that, but Jeremiah one to five, I made
you in the womb. South Park gets this right. In fact,
I think they've been watching a lot of Charlie Kirk videos.
Watch Oh my.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
God, what makes you think you have the right to
say what I do.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
With my body?

Speaker 8 (41:38):
Let me ask you something. If a pregnant woman is
killed and the baby dies too, why is the killer
charged with the double hammitat?

Speaker 4 (41:44):
Because people have different beliefs.

Speaker 8 (41:46):
It's not about belief, it's about truth. Science confirms life
begins at conception. So yes, Jeremiah one five says, before
I formed you in the womb, I knew you. But
it's just morality, the demands we protect the most vulnerable.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
And we got our own award show as part of
South Park. I was told going in, Charlie, if they
your name, that's a big win. Well, apparently there's the
Charlie Kirk Awards.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
Hello Wie, Welcome to the third annual Charlie Kirk Award
for Young Master Debaters.

Speaker 5 (42:13):
More and more young people today are learning to fight
for America through master debation. We're here to honor the
recent efforts of a brave young man who has been
furiously master debating for the past several days.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Now. There's gonna be a lot said about this, but
we need to have a good spirit about being made
fun of.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
This is all a success, this is all a win.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
We as conservatives, we have thick skin, not thin skin,
and you can make fun of us. It doesn't matter.
And until next time, I hope all of you also
become master debaters for truth.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
It was so much fun. And by the way, I'm
so glad we got that.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
By the way, we at Amfest we had Charlie Kirk
Courage Awards warded to students. So it's kind of a weird,
weird full circle moment there, Blake, we got to get
to this one. You were with him in Asia one
seventy eight.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Okay, everybody, I'm here in Soul, South Korea. As you
could see everyone, they have these like inflatable cushy chairs.
Everyone is reading this would last about thirty five seconds.
In uh most American cities. You can have nice you
can have nice stuff. Crime is a choice. We shouldn't
put up with it. South Korea doesn't. We shouldn't either.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
And Blake, we have to end with this. This one's
gonna be hard, but we gotta do it.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
This is the last TikTok he ever did.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
TikTok at uvu one hundred and fifty two million views
on this one sixty two.

Speaker 6 (43:45):
I've a lot of people talk about them.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
We're gonna have been here for a couple of hours
yet comfortable.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
Bring the best list.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Said you tah hast often.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
He was a great man.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
