Speaker 1 (00:03):
This is red Pilled America. Hello, Fambam. It's with a
heavy heart that we come to you today. We thought
that we needed to come forward and give some of
our thoughts that this just incredibly sad and tragic moment.

(00:23):
All of MAGA nation is mourning today. And there's a
lot of people that knew Charlie Kirk personally, and we'll
let those people talk to him and the person that
he was. I did not know him personally. You know,
we dealt with Turning Point and we actually did a

(00:45):
show on his right hand man, Tyler Boyer. I was
just recently thinking about Charlie Kirk, actually actually the day
before he was tragically murdered, and I saw a clip
of him and I thought, man, that guy is smart,
a whip smart.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah. I mean, this is it's an unimaginable loss. He
was just thirty one years old. He had two very
small children, a one year old and a three year old.
He would have been thirty two on October fourteenth. He
had a birthday coming up. He was kind and peaceful.
He was a man of God. He never ever resorted
to violence. He just he fought with his words, and

(01:30):
his words were so powerful that they killed him for it.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
You know, everyone that makes a living behind a microphone
has been touched by this moment. I would say, I've
heard these, you know that refrain stated over the course
of the last twenty four hours. And this really hit

(01:55):
us hard when we heard about it, and I was
very surprised actually by my actions or buy my response,
because I don't know him personally, but it reminded me
of what we had gone through when we were in
Hollywood and being behind enemy lines. And I remember a

(02:16):
point where I thought these people want us dead and
we decided to leave. Charlie stayed. He stayed behind those
enemy lines. He went into those colleges, he just was
starting a college tour.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
He went into the fire, and you know what, he
was winning, and he was making a huge difference, and
he made a huge difference in Trump being elected in
twenty twenty four. He did.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
He was. I believe without him, he would not have
one Arizona. We've had friends that have went out and
worked for turning point during that time. He would not
have one without Charlie Kirk. And I would say that,
you know, once again, I think that we will let

(03:05):
a lot of people talk to his character. What I
have been seeing online has been something that I'm sure
many of you are thinking about, what next? What now?
Where do we go from here on this?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
That's really what we want to address today with you.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
You know, many of his friends are saying that, you know,
what's going to happen is going to be like swift
and harsh. And I don't blame those people for wanting revenge.
They should seek it through whatever legal means they see fit.
But the solution to what we have just experienced is
not swift, and I feel like that's kind of a

(03:43):
fundamental misunderstanding of the solution. In the seconds that followed
Charlie Kirk's murder, is life was leaving his body, a
young man stood up in the crowd. As everybody else
was crouched trying to avoid being shot. This man stood up,
threw his hands in the air, and cheered that Charlie

(04:07):
Kirk was dead, And then in the hours that followed,
tens of thousands took to social media cheering his cold
blooded murder. You don't fix that problem swiftly. I've seen
many people ask, now, what do we do? Tell us
what to do? And the answer is not what many

(04:28):
want to hear. I don't think people have called this
our Martin Luther King Junior moment, and I agree with that.
I agree with that too, And so you have to
ask yourself what happened in the wake of Martin Luther
King's death. There was some violence, definitely, and then when
that settled down, they went to work and they took

(04:50):
over every institution that defines what it means to be American,
the universities, the media, Hollywood. There is no short fix
to this. It is a long term commitment. That is
the only way we change culture. That's what's going to

(05:10):
stop people from going online, talking into a microphone and cheering.
The death of a father, a husband, a family man,
a son of God, a child of God is to
change the culture. It's the only way forward. Quick political
action is like a tourniquet. You know, you could stop

(05:31):
the bleeding that way. We did that by putting Trump
in office. It was through political action that got him
in there. But that only stops the bleeding. At some point,
you need to figure out what started the bleeding in
the first place, and then you need to go in
there and fix it and turn it around. This is

(05:51):
a turning point. We now face a fork in the
road ahead of us. Which way are we going to
choose more purely political activism or will we add cultural activism?
I mean, think about this for a second. Who's going
to tell Charlie Kirk's story. Is it going to be
the same Hollywood that told Richard Nixon's story, the same

(06:13):
Hollywood that told Phylish Schlaffley's story that lied about those
people that hate those people. We need to be telling
those stories. We need to infiltrate these institutions and tell
our side of the story. This is something that we've
been championing since the launch of Red Pilled America and

(06:37):
talking about this long before that. This is not going
to be fixed in a swift, short action. We need
to go on the golden era of conservatism and have
the same kind of a run that those that from
the civil rights movement had a forty to fifty year run.
And how did they do that? How did we get

(06:59):
to a point to where we have people celebrating a
man's death, brutal death, putting their faces right in front
of their own camera, recording themselves celebrating his death, and
then posting it online. That is a cultural problem and
The only way that we fix a cultural problem is

(07:22):
by going into these cultural institutions, the same institutions that
define what it means to be an American, and we
take them over. That is a long term action that
needs to happen. And I pray I pray that the
people around Turning Point, the people that are in this

(07:45):
conservative movement, the activists that are within this conservative movement,
that they hear this message. Because I know you want revenge.
I understand that, and I hope you get it legally.
But to change things long term, to make Charlie's horrific

(08:07):
murder something that is long and lasting, we need to
understand the fork in the road ahead of us, and
we need to choose wisely. We need to impact the culture.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, and I do want to say that Charlie was
doing that. He was going into into the colleges, into
a huge institution, and and he was changing the culture.
But but we need more than just that. Because these
kids that are you know, they're on social media, they're
they're watching these films and and they're they're celebrated there.

(08:42):
They're being taught to celebrate ideologies that have no place
in America. We need to to show young people what
it truly is to be an American and to and
to and to, and to have them celebrate American values
intra additions, and to be proud of them, not not

(09:05):
to celebrate the death of someone because they don't align
with them. Politically, We've lost the youth. They don't know
what's right and wrong anymore. We need to put that
back into into into film, into art, into the culture.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
One hundred. I mean, when I see what he was
doing that day hit out, he was wearing a shirt
that said freedom on it, and he was debating. He
was literally the best of us. I mean, the guy
was as much, if not more, of a figure in
the mold of Martin Luther King than any conservative that's

(09:47):
ever been alive. He was gentle, He would allow people
to speak their mind, come up to the microphone and
challenge his beliefs. He was practicing one of the most
one of the most cherished traditions in American culture, which

(10:08):
is debate. And he welcomed that, and he didn't stop
doing it. And I'm sure he had death threats on
the daily, but he decided this is the way I'm
going to live my life, and I'm going to continue
to do this, and I think that that's what he's
going to be remembered for. I think what he stated

(10:29):
he wanted to be remembered for was his bravery with
his faith, and I think that he will no doubt
be remembered for that. And he's one of the I
mean for his age thirty one to have the wisdom
and the strength and the courage that that man carried
around with him was clear and evident for everybody to see.

(10:54):
There is now an incredible challenge ahead of us, and
that is making this horrific event mean something, and it
really I want to drive this home, and I hope
you guys will help us drive this home. To get

(11:15):
this message to as many people as possible. We need
to infiltrate the cultural institutions. That is what's going to
change things in the long term. And you're right, Adriana,
Charlie was doing that in his way. He was going
on the college campuses and doing what he could do
to inspire others within that institution, within that American institution.

(11:40):
Now it's time to expand that and go into other
cultural institutions, into the media, into the legacy media, into
film studios, into Hollywood, into the film schools, into writing
about storytelling, into literature, writing stories, being storytellers, because that

(12:03):
is how so many people have been hypnotized with this
Marxist hatred ideology. It's because it's been pumped into their
into our culture for decades and decades and decades, and
they still only win half of the time. So imagine

(12:24):
if we infiltrated these institutions with the messages that Charlie
Kirk was putting out there into the world, to the
messages of traditional and medical Middle America, and if that
was being pumped into the American bloodstream, it would be
the golden era for America.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
And I know a lot of you guys are thinking, well,
I'm not an artist, I'm not a filmmaker. That's not
something that I do. I can't help with that. But
you can. You can help by supporting those people that
are trying to change the culture. If you have children
or grandchildren that you know you see have some artistic
nature to them, support them, aampion them, help them hone

(13:05):
and build their craft. You know, this is the long game.
Like Patrick talked about, I'm really I'm at a loss
for words. Sorry, it's okay, Sorry, it's just such an

(13:26):
horrific loss, and it's a sad day in our country today,
and I just hope that you all hug your family
a little tighter today. It's their prayer for the Kirk family,
and just God bless you all.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
God bless you, God bless your families. Turn your anger
into productive action. We must take over the cultural institutions America.
It has to happen. We love you guys all. Thank
you so much for being here with us and sharing
with this time. I've been seeing messages all over the

(14:03):
place and this is going to be a time of
morning for quite some time. But at some point we're
going to get to work and we need to have
a plan in motion that means getting into the culture.
Thank you everybody, and God bless you.
