Transcript
- 0:11Speaker 1: On this day, one year ago, Charlie Kirk was assassinated,
- 0:15Speaker 1: fatally struck in the neck by a single bullet fired
- 0:19Speaker 1: by a radicalized young man who had been fed a
- 0:22Speaker 1: lie that Charlie Kirk was some kind of Nazi who
- 0:26Speaker 1: had to be stopped. Charlie was 31 years old. He
- 0:30Speaker 1: left behind a wife who adored him, two small children,
- 0:32Speaker 1: a little girl and a little boy, waiting for their
- 0:35Speaker 1: dad to come home. And a legacy of faith and
- 0:38Speaker 1: a movement that couldn't be silenced no matter how hard
- 0:41Speaker 1: they tried. Tonight, we remember Charlie. Charlie Kirk was a
- 0:48Speaker 1: kid from Arlington Heights, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, the
- 0:51Speaker 1: son of an architect and a counselor and Eagle Scout.
- 0:55Speaker 1: A boy who at 16, 16 years old, started listening
- 0:59Speaker 1: to talk radio and felt something wake up inside of him,
- 1:04Speaker 1: a love for this country and a conviction that the
- 1:07Speaker 1: young people of his generation HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
- 1:11Speaker 2: HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
- 1:13Speaker 1: HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
- 1:16Speaker 1: HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
- 1:18Speaker 2: HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
- 1:20Speaker 2: HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
- 1:22Speaker 2: HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
- 1:39Speaker 2: HE SAID HE WANTED A SAFE SPACE. HE SAID HE
- 1:40Speaker 2: WANTED A SAFE SPACE.
- 1:40Speaker 1: HANDING OUT FLYERS TO KIDS WHO IGNORED HIM, SETTING UP
- 1:41Speaker 1: A TABLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOST HOSTILE TERRITORY
- 1:44Speaker 1: IN AMERICA, THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY, AND SAYING THREE SIMPLE WORDS
- 1:50Speaker 1: THAT TERRIFIED THE LEFT.
- 1:52Speaker 2: PROVE ME WRONG. HE DIDN'T WANT A SAFE SPACE. HE
- 1:57Speaker 2: WANTED AN ARGUMENT.
- 1:58Speaker 1: HE BELIEVED DOWN TO HIS BONES THAT CONSERVATIVE IDEAS WOULD
- 2:02Speaker 1: WIN ANY FAIR FIGHT IF SOMEONE JUST HAD THE.
- 2:09Speaker 3: KID AT A.
- 2:10Speaker 2: FOLDING TABLE, BUILT THE LARGEST YOUTH MOVEMENT THIS COUNTRY HAS
- 2:16Speaker 2: EVER SEEN. HE REGISTERED VOTERS. HE FILLED ARENAS.
- 2:20Speaker 1: HE'S A MAJOR REASON, MAYBE THE SINGLE BIGGEST REASON, THAT
- 2:23Speaker 1: YOUNG AMERICANS ALL SWUNG TOWARDS DONALD TRUMP AND TOWARD COMMON
- 2:27Speaker 1: SENSE IN 2024.
- 2:30Speaker 2: PRESIDENTS TOOK HIS CALLS AND.
- 2:32Speaker 1: THROUGHOUT ALL OF IT, HE NEVER STOPPED SAYING THAT THE
- 2:36Speaker 1: MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT HIM was not the politics, it
- 2:40Speaker 1: was his faith, his wife Erica, his children, our God.
- 2:44Speaker 2: And that is the man they murdered on a Wednesday for.
- 2:48Speaker 1: The crime of standing at a microphone and challenging college-educated
- 2:54Speaker 1: liberals to defend their indoctrination.
- 2:58Speaker 2: He wasn't a racist or a fascist or any sort
- 3:01Speaker 2: of phobic person.
- 3:03Speaker 1: That was just the left's deflection from an unwinnable position,
- 3:06Speaker 1: afraid of the logic that you're not supposed to be
- 3:09Speaker 1: allowed to have on college campuses in America. It was
- 3:13Speaker 1: simply a man with a voice and a different opinion,
- 3:17Speaker 1: God forbid. He was murdered for having a voice.
- 3:21Speaker 2: And a different opinion. That's the lesson here, if there
- 3:25Speaker 2: is one.
- 3:27Speaker 1: To honor Charlie Kirk, we must honor the people's right
- 3:31Speaker 1: to have different opinions. BECAUSE IN THE YEAR SINCE CHARLIE
- 3:35Speaker 1: WAS KILLED, THE MAGA MOVEMENT, WELL, IT'S FRACTURED BECAUSE OF
- 3:39Speaker 1: AN INTOLERANCE OVER A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. YOU SAW IT
- 3:44Speaker 1: AT LAST AMFEST, THE INFIGHTING, ACCUSATIONS, THE UGLINESS, CONSERVATIVES WHO
- 3:50Speaker 1: SHOULD BE SHOULDER TO SHOULDER INSTEAD OF TURNING THEIR FIRE
- 3:55Speaker 1: ON EACH OTHER.
- 3:56Speaker 4: LOOK.
- 3:56Speaker 2: WHY DOES THAT MATTER?
- 4:02Speaker 5: It is in danger, not just from a left that
- 4:05Speaker 5: all too frequently excuses everything up to and including murder.
- 4:10Speaker 5: The conservative movement is also in danger from charlatans who
- 4:13Speaker 5: claim to speak in the name of principle, but actually
- 4:16Speaker 5: traffic in conspiracism and dishonesty.
- 4:19Speaker 6: But Ben Shapiro is like a cancer and that cancer spreads.
- 4:24Speaker 7: I don't think we are friends anymore. I've been a
- 4:28Speaker 7: very good friend to Ben. Nobody knew who the heck
- 4:31Speaker 7: Ben Shapiro was when I started putting him on my
- 4:33Speaker 7: shows on the Fox News channel, and I helped make
- 4:36Speaker 7: him a star.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Charlie could sit across from anyone. He could disagree without hating.
- 4:41Speaker 1: He could hold a room full of people who agreed
- 4:44Speaker 1: on 80% of the issues and reminded them that the 80%.
- 4:51Speaker 2: Was what mattered. THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER TODAY.
- 4:54Speaker 1: ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH, WE MUST HEAL THE DIVISION,
- 4:58Speaker 1: THE INFIGHTING, AND STOP THE WEAKENING OF OUR MOVEMENT. TO
- 5:03Speaker 1: FRACTURE NOW WOULD GIVE AMERICA'S ENEMIES EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANTED.
- 5:08Speaker 1: THEY DIDN'T JUST WANT TO SILENCE ONE MAN. THEY WANTED
- 5:10Speaker 1: THE WHOLE THING TO It looks like they're succeeding. We
- 5:16Speaker 1: cannot let them succeed. Right now in Dallas, Texas, the
- 5:20Speaker 1: Republican Party is closing out a historic event, the first
- 5:23Speaker 1: ever midterm convention in the party's history, with Charlie Kirk's
- 5:27Speaker 1: memory hanging over every minute of it.
- 5:29Speaker 2: His widow, Erica, has picked up the.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Banner and carried it forward, asking the movement to do
- 5:35Speaker 1: one thing, honor Charlie by finishing the fight, by building
- 5:39Speaker 1: what she calls the Red Wall, by winning.
- 5:43Speaker 2: The midterms are weeks away. The party is gathered.
- 5:47Speaker 1: And the best way, the only way to honor a
- 5:50Speaker 1: man who gave his life so that young Americans could
- 5:53Speaker 1: hear the truth is not to turn on each other
- 5:57Speaker 1: over the last 20%. It's to remember the 80% we
- 6:03Speaker 1: have in common.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Every single day, Charlie showed up.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Made the case for America's greatness, fought back against the
- 6:11Speaker 1: radical left's evil indoctrination of our youth, and above all else,
- 6:15Speaker 1: fought for the glory of God.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Charlie can't do it anymore, so it falls on all
- 6:22Speaker 2: of us. It's time to.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Come together as a movement once again to put our
- 6:26Speaker 1: differences aside and to go win this next one for Charlie.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Still ahead.
- 6:33Speaker 1: The case against Charlie's accused killer is moving to trial, and.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Prosecutors say they have his confession.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Attorney Viva Fry is here on what happens next. Then
- 6:43Speaker 1: the conspiracy theories about Charlie's death that refuse to go away.
- 6:48Speaker 1: We won't repeat them here, but we're going to tell
- 6:50Speaker 1: you exactly why they spread, and we're going to take
- 6:52Speaker 1: a look at what TPUSA has become one year later.

- 7:40Speaker 1: Before the break, I told you about the radicalized young
- 7:42Speaker 1: man accused of pulling.
- 7:44Speaker 2: The trigger in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Tonight, one
- 7:48Speaker 2: year to.
- 7:48Speaker 1: The day since that terrible morning, his case, well, it's
- 7:51Speaker 1: finally moving towards trial. Just last week, in a Utah courtroom,
- 7:55Speaker 1: District Judge Tony Graff looked at what prosecutors are calling
- 7:59Speaker 1: a mountain of evidence, and he ruled that Tyler Robinson
- 8:02Speaker 1: will stand trial on all seven counts, including aggravated murder. Robinson,
- 8:07Speaker 1: who is 23 years old, pleaded not guilty to all
- 8:10Speaker 1: of the counts, and the state has made its intentions
- 8:13Speaker 1: crystal clear. If he's convicted of that top charge, prosecutors
- 8:17Speaker 1: will seek the death penalty. The charges go well beyond
- 8:21Speaker 1: the shooting itself. Robinson is accused of aggravated murder. and
- 8:24Speaker 1: a felony discharge of a firearm, but he's also charged
- 8:27Speaker 1: with trying to cover his tracks afterward, obstruction of justice
- 8:31Speaker 1: for allegedly hiding the rifle and getting rid of his clothing,
- 8:35Speaker 1: and witness tampering for allegedly telling his roommate to delete
- 8:38Speaker 1: text messages and stay quiet. There's even a count for
- 8:42Speaker 1: committing a violent crime in front of children because when
- 8:45Speaker 1: Charlie was shot, there were families there with young people
- 8:49Speaker 1: in that crowd at Utah Valley University. When the single
- 8:52Speaker 1: most powerful piece of the state's evidence came out this
- 8:55Speaker 1: summer at the preliminary hearing, prosecutors played a recorded police
- 9:00Speaker 1: interview with Robinson's own roommate and partner, a person named
- 9:05Speaker 1: Lance Twiggs, and read aloud the text messages the two
- 9:09Speaker 1: exchanged in the hours after Charlie was shot. Listen to
- 9:12Speaker 1: what the state says Robinson wrote back when he asked
- 9:15Speaker 1: Point Blank if he had done it.
- 9:16Speaker 7: Look.
- 9:17Speaker 8: And then Lance replies, you weren't the one who did it, right?
- 9:21Speaker 8: And Tyler says, I am, I'm sorry. Lance says, I
- 9:25Speaker 8: thought they caught the person. And then Tyler says, no,
- 9:30Speaker 8: they grabbed some crazy old dude and interrogated someone in
- 9:33Speaker 8: similar clothing.
- 9:33Speaker 2: I am, I'm sorry.
- 9:36Speaker 1: That, according to prosecutors, is the accused assassin admitting to
- 9:40Speaker 1: it to the person closest to him the very day
- 9:43Speaker 1: it happened. Now, here's what the fight ahead is actually
- 9:46Speaker 1: going to be about, because the defense has not offered
- 9:48Speaker 1: any real alternative story of what happened that day, no
- 9:51Speaker 1: claim that someone else did it. Instead, their battle is
- 9:54Speaker 1: over the death penalty itself. Robinson's attorneys are arguing that
- 9:58Speaker 1: the state is trying to force this case through Utah's
- 10:00Speaker 1: aggravated murder statute, the one that makes execution possible, a
- 10:04Speaker 1: statute that requires proving other lies beyond Charlie's were put
- 10:08Speaker 1: in high danger. Their argument, in the defense's own words,
- 10:12Speaker 1: there's one shot, there's one bullet, there's one victim. Legal
- 10:15Speaker 1: analysts say the whole game for that defense team IT'S
- 10:18Speaker 1: NOT JUST THE DEMOCRATS. THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
- 10:19Speaker 1: THIS FOR A LONG TIME. IT'S NOW A SIMPLE ONE,
- 10:20Speaker 1: KEEP THEIR CLIENT OFF OF DEATH ROW. SO WHERE DOES
- 10:22Speaker 1: IT GO FROM HERE? THE NEXT COURT DATE IS IN
- 10:24Speaker 1: OCTOBER ON THE 23RD. AND TO WALK US THROUGH ALL
- 10:28Speaker 1: OF IT, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT, WHAT WE LEARN, WHAT THE
- 10:30Speaker 1: DEFENSE IS GOING TO TRY TO DO, I WANTED TO
- 10:32Speaker 1: BRING BACK MY FRIEND, LAWYER AND LEGAL COMMENTATOR, VIVA FRIE. VIVA,
- 10:36Speaker 1: WELCOME BACK TO THE PRIME TIME. LOOK, CONSPIRACIES ASIDE OF
- 10:41Speaker 1: WHAT THEY THINK HAPPENED OR WHO DID Tyler says, yes,
- 10:50Speaker 1: it was me. I did it if we were to
- 10:52Speaker 1: believe that those are authentic. The case is going to trial.
- 10:55Speaker 1: It seems that with the physical evidence, with the text messages,
- 10:58Speaker 1: if we watch the evidentiary hearing, it seems like the
- 11:01Speaker 1: case is pretty.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Strong against Tyler Robinson. What's next now? And where do
- 11:05Speaker 2: you think this thing goes from here?
- 11:06Speaker 9: Well, I mean, to back it up to the seven charges,
- 11:09Speaker 9: the preliminary hearing, the judge clearly had thought out his
- 11:13Speaker 9: ruling over the last couple of months and had come
- 11:15Speaker 9: to his conclusion for right or for wrong. Some people
- 11:17Speaker 9: will say the judge had a foregone conclusion, was going
- 11:20Speaker 9: to bind over on all seven charges. I did think
- 11:23Speaker 9: for a second that maybe there would not have been
- 11:25Speaker 9: a bind over on the seventh charge, which was a
- 11:28Speaker 9: commission of a violent act in front of children. And
- 11:30Speaker 9: maybe the judge would say the expectation is that this
- 11:33Speaker 9: is a university. There wouldn't be minors under 14 there.
- 11:36Speaker 9: But nonetheless, he found a probable cause on that bind
- 11:39Speaker 9: over for the seventh charge. It's the sixth charge where
- 11:42Speaker 9: not the witness tampering of delete this text, but Tyler
- 11:46Speaker 9: Robinson telling Lance Triggs to stay quiet and get a lawyer.
- 11:49Speaker 9: I was kind of surprised that the judge would even
- 11:52Speaker 9: come to the conclusion in the context of everything that
- 11:55Speaker 9: could be witness tampering. I mean, it's immaterial at the
- 11:57Speaker 9: end of the day. The main charge is the aggravated
- 12:00Speaker 9: murder with the... reckless discharge of a firearm.
- 12:05Speaker 2: In a crowd. But the main charge is the aggravated murder.
- 12:07Speaker 2: That's the one that carries the death penalty.
- 12:09Speaker 9: And he's going to go to trial over that. People
- 12:12Speaker 9: were making hay over the fact that he pleaded not
- 12:14Speaker 9: guilty after being arraigned right after probable cause was found
- 12:17Speaker 9: on all seven charges, as though that somehow is evidence
- 12:20Speaker 9: of Tyler Robinson's innocence, as though we didn't learn anything
- 12:23Speaker 9: from the Lindsay Clancy trial. He might plead not guilty
- 12:26Speaker 9: by reason of insanity. And I raised that argument later
- 12:29Speaker 9: on the bottom line, The evidence was there. I won't
- 12:32Speaker 9: use the term overwhelming evidence of guilt because that's what
- 12:35Speaker 9: the trial is for, but it was clearly sufficient evidence
- 12:38Speaker 9: for probable cause on all of the most meaningful charges,
- 12:41Speaker 9: and now what probably is going to happen, most people
- 12:44Speaker 9: are anticipating it, they'll strike a deal, and he'll plead
- 12:47Speaker 9: guilty if they take the death penalty off the table,
- 12:49Speaker 9: and we'll see when that happens.
- 12:53Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't even know if the state wants to
- 12:56Speaker 1: offer him a deal. I mean, I think they want
- 12:57Speaker 1: to go full bore on him at this point.
- 12:59Speaker 2: I mean, considering.
- 13:01Speaker 1: The gravity of the situation, I think anything less than
- 13:03Speaker 1: a conviction and maybe even seeking the death penalty might
- 13:05Speaker 1: make people feel like they took it easy on him.
- 13:08Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 13:08Speaker 1: This is a very tough case, but it should be
- 13:11Speaker 1: easy to prove. I mean, a jury, a lot of
- 13:13Speaker 1: people are asking about a jury. How can you find
- 13:14Speaker 1: a jury that's not familiar with this case that doesn't
- 13:16Speaker 1: feel one way or the other about Charlie Kirk? But,
- 13:19Speaker 1: you know, of course, in voir dire, that's the part
- 13:21Speaker 1: where you ask the jury for the audience, ask the
- 13:23Speaker 1: jury whether or not, you know, they can be objective,
- 13:25Speaker 1: whether they know Charlie or whether they had any certain
- 13:28Speaker 1: feelings towards him. I think this is going to be
- 13:30Speaker 1: a pretty easy case to prove for the prosecution, right?
- 13:33Speaker 9: For sure. First of all, when it comes to the jury,
- 13:36Speaker 9: we live in our online silo where we assume everybody
- 13:39Speaker 9: knows everything about this and is following it. I've met
- 13:42Speaker 9: people in real life who barely know who Charlie Kirk is,
- 13:44Speaker 9: and they don't know about the incident until you describe it,
- 13:47Speaker 9: and then they only know about it tangentially.
- 13:48Speaker 2: They don't live.
- 13:49Speaker 9: Online like we do. So they'll easily find a jury
- 13:53Speaker 9: that will not be tainted in advance despite some of
- 13:55Speaker 9: the massive... campaigns being waged by some. But I'm not
- 14:01Speaker 9: convinced that this is a case that they want to
- 14:03Speaker 9: actually go to trial for if they can get a
- 14:06Speaker 9: guilty plea with a statement from Tyler Robinson that would
- 14:10Speaker 9: all the people out there who believe that Tyler Robinson
- 14:12Speaker 9: is a total patsy, had nothing to do with it.
- 14:16Speaker 9: That would be more of a completion of this than
- 14:21Speaker 9: going to trial, putting everyone through the trauma of a
- 14:24Speaker 9: trial of this horrible, violent crime that so many of
- 14:27Speaker 9: us saw in real time. If they can get Tyler
- 14:29Speaker 9: Robinson to plead guilty, provide a statement that would confirm
- 14:33Speaker 9: that he has knowledge that nobody else would of his
- 14:36Speaker 9: involvement so that people would stop with some of these
- 14:38Speaker 9: conspiracy theories. I still wholeheartedly believe that other people were
- 14:42Speaker 9: involved and who knows, maybe Tyler Robinson pleads guilty, gets
- 14:45Speaker 9: the death penalty off the table if he provides a
- 14:47Speaker 9: statement that actually implicates others who had advanced knowledge of.
- 14:50Speaker 10: This We'll see.
- 14:51Speaker 9: But I'm not convinced that the prosecution would want to
- 14:54Speaker 9: go full bore if they could get a guilty plea
- 14:57Speaker 9: with a statement that would quell a lot of the
- 15:00Speaker 9: more nefarious conspiracy theories that have been running rampant.
- 15:03Speaker 2: I don't even know, though, if he pled guilty.
- 15:05Speaker 1: I think the conspiracy theorists would just pivot to they
- 15:07Speaker 1: forced him to plead guilty so we wouldn't learn the truth.
- 15:10Speaker 1: I don't think a single thing can come out of
- 15:12Speaker 1: this trial that's going to convince some of these, you know, certain.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Conspiracy theorists to accept.
- 15:19Speaker 1: Any other narrative than the one they keep manufacturing, because
- 15:22Speaker 1: it matters so much to their bottom line, if you
- 15:26Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So I think they're going to
- 15:28Speaker 1: continue the conspiracy theories. The trial will end. They'll say
- 15:31Speaker 1: they only got one of the perpetrators. No matter what,
- 15:34Speaker 1: it'll still be said. Now, to honor Charlie today, I mean,
- 15:36Speaker 1: it's a solemn day. The family has said, let the
- 15:39Speaker 1: trial speak for itself. I think I think We just
- 15:43Speaker 1: addressed the fact that after the trial is over, the
- 15:45Speaker 1: conspiracy theories probably won't go away. But do you think
- 15:50Speaker 1: it'll give at least a lot of the people mourning
- 15:53Speaker 1: Charlie today a sense of closure when there is a
- 15:55Speaker 1: conviction in this case or a plea? For the non-conspiracy theorists,
- 16:00Speaker 1: do you think the country will feel some sense of closure?
- 16:04Speaker 9: I think we should say if there's a conviction. There's
- 16:07Speaker 9: an outside chance that maybe it comes out that Tyler.
- 16:10Speaker 2: Robinson wasn't the one who pulled the trigger.
- 16:11Speaker 9: It was Bill in the blank, but that he was
- 16:14Speaker 9: working in cahoots with people.
- 16:16Speaker 2: Crazier things have happened.
- 16:18Speaker 9: What would be the closure is if people heard a
- 16:21Speaker 9: statement saying, from Tyler Robinson that contained information that only
- 16:25Speaker 9: he could have so that they couldn't say, as goes
- 16:28Speaker 9: the trope, that the feds overcharged so they could coerce
- 16:31Speaker 9: a plea deal because, alas, in the Brian Cole Jr.
- 16:33Speaker 9: pipe bomber case, they got him to confess, and now
- 16:36Speaker 9: they tack on massive charges so they can coerce a
- 16:39Speaker 9: plea deal. That's how they do it. Everybody knows that's
- 16:40Speaker 9: how they do it. So you will expect people to
- 16:42Speaker 9: have that reflex. Oh, they added the aggravated murder to
- 16:45Speaker 9: coerce a plea deal, and it's a faulty or fraudulent claim.
- 16:49Speaker 9: He's still innocent, but he's being coerced to say this.
- 16:53Speaker 9: If there were a trial and people.
- 16:55Speaker 2: Could actually see the evidence, because people say.
- 16:57Speaker 9: We haven't seen X, Y, and Z by way of evidence.
- 17:00Speaker 9: There's a lot of evidence that we haven't seen yet.
- 17:02Speaker 9: There's a lot of evidence that's in possession of the
- 17:04Speaker 9: defendants that we haven't seen yet. If it goes to
- 17:06Speaker 9: trial and you actually see the forensic analysis of the
- 17:10Speaker 9: cell phone, you get confirmation that these text messages, which
- 17:13Speaker 9: the defense hasn't even denied even to this day, are authentic.
- 17:18Speaker 9: You'll get the middle ground people who might have been
- 17:21Speaker 9: entertaining certain ideas to say, okay, fine, this is what
- 17:23Speaker 9: the evidence ultimately showed after an adversarial process.
- 17:26Speaker 2: It's true, though.
- 17:26Speaker 9: There's going to be 5% who are going to say,
- 17:28Speaker 9: it's all falsified. We can't have the evidence because the
- 17:30Speaker 9: absence of the evidence is the evidence, and they'll never
- 17:32Speaker 9: give it to us if a foreign state was involved.
- 17:34Speaker 9: We have to be a government actor. So yeah, there'll
- 17:36Speaker 9: be some people that you'll never be able to convince.
- 17:38Speaker 9: But a trial that goes on for five, however long
- 17:41Speaker 9: it goes on for, where you see the evidence, typically
- 17:44Speaker 9: it leads to some form of closure. But I do
- 17:46Speaker 9: think in this case, If they can get a plea
- 17:48Speaker 9: deal that would assuage the conspiracy theorists and spare re-traumatizing
- 17:55Speaker 9: everyone with what would be a brutal, brutal prosecution, I
- 17:59Speaker 9: think they would look for that out, which would spare
- 18:02Speaker 9: the guy's life if indeed he faces a death penalty,
- 18:04Speaker 9: would stay true to Erica Kirk's forgiveness of him, would
- 18:08Speaker 9: stay true to Christian values, which is forgiveness. We won't
- 18:10Speaker 9: kill him, but he'll spend the rest of his life
- 18:12Speaker 9: in jail thinking about what he's done and maybe... you know,
- 18:14Speaker 9: in as much as people can be saved on a deathbed,
- 18:16Speaker 9: maybe that happens. But no, I mean, I think a
- 18:19Speaker 9: trial would help, especially when the evidence is a juice, um,
- 18:23Speaker 9: maybe even more so than, uh, some sort of guilty plea.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Well, look, I think, uh, if the trial does happen,
- 18:29Speaker 1: when it happens, it'll certainly be a lot of big
- 18:32Speaker 1: news and make Lindsay Clancy look like, uh, like a
- 18:35Speaker 1: parking ticket.
- 18:37Speaker 2: But look, the important part to come out of this.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Is justice, justice for Charlie, justice for all the people
- 18:42Speaker 1: whose lives were affected by this.
- 18:44Speaker 2: Man's accused killer's actions. And we'll see where it goes.
- 18:48Speaker 1: The important thing is that nobody does what this man
- 18:52Speaker 1: ever did to anybody else. Viva, thank you so much

- 19:00Speaker 1: Coming up, in the year since Charlie died, a wave
- 19:04Speaker 1: of conspiracy theories.

- 20:58Speaker 1: While the trial against Charlie's alleged killer proceeds in a
- 21:01Speaker 1: Utah courtroom, an entire universe of alternate theories has been
- 21:07Speaker 1: developed on social media and throughout the rest of the
- 21:09Speaker 1: podcast world. Theories not even conceived by Robinson's own defense team. Now,
- 21:15Speaker 1: I'm not going to repeat all the conspiracy theories tonight,
- 21:18Speaker 1: certainly not on the anniversary of Charlie's murder, especially with
- 21:21Speaker 1: his wife and children in America grieving. But I wouldn't
- 21:25Speaker 1: be bringing you the whole story if I just stood
- 21:27Speaker 1: here and pretended they weren't out there, spreading and fast
- 21:31Speaker 1: in some instances, including among people who genuinely love Charlie.
- 21:35Speaker 1: So let's leave the what alone and let's talk about
- 21:39Speaker 1: the why. Because here is what history teaches us every
- 21:43Speaker 1: single time this country loses someone as big and influential
- 21:47Speaker 1: like Charlie Kirk, someone like JFK or Robert Kennedy or
- 21:50Speaker 1: even Martin Luther King. The theories, the conspiracy theories, they
- 21:53Speaker 1: come every single time.
- 21:55Speaker 2: And it's not.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Because people are just gullible or desperate for an imagination.
- 22:02Speaker 2: It's something deeper.
- 22:03Speaker 1: It's human, really, because the mind rebels at the idea
- 22:07Speaker 1: that one small, hateful, radicalized youth could erase a man
- 22:12Speaker 1: who mattered so much as Charlie. The size of the
- 22:15Speaker 1: loss seems to demand an explanation just as big. Tyler
- 22:19Speaker 1: Robinson with a rifle, it just doesn't feel like enough.
- 22:22Speaker 1: So people obviously look for something more. And in 2026,
- 22:26Speaker 1: in an age with an Internet that pays people, actually
- 22:30Speaker 1: pays them in clicks and in dollars, it's certainly easy
- 22:33Speaker 1: for people with the wildest imaginations to come up with
- 22:36Speaker 1: the wildest stories to satisfy the need for a bigger conspiracy.
- 22:41Speaker 1: We also have to consider the fact that we live
- 22:43Speaker 1: in a country whose people have been given every reason
- 22:46Speaker 1: under the sun to distrust the institutions that are supposed
- 22:49Speaker 1: to tell them the truth. Media that's lied to them,
- 22:52Speaker 1: a government that has spied on them, experts who are
- 22:54Speaker 1: wrong about nearly everything. And here's the hard truth in
- 22:58Speaker 1: that when people have been taught to trust nothing, sometimes
- 23:02Speaker 1: it's easy to believe anything. Charlie's family, his closest friends,
- 23:06Speaker 1: They've pleaded with people to simply look at the evidence
- 23:08Speaker 1: that's being laid out in that courtroom in Utah, holding
- 23:11Speaker 1: firm that there is something where the answers lie in
- 23:16Speaker 1: the official narrative, not in the comments section. Now, to
- 23:19Speaker 1: dig into the conspiracies and what it says about the
- 23:22Speaker 1: state of this country, honored to welcome back comedian, commentator,
- 23:25Speaker 1: personal friend of Charlie Kirk, friend of mine, Mr. Primetime,
- 23:28Speaker 1: Alex Stein. Welcome, David Pollak, Primetime. Sorry, I didn't steal
- 23:31Speaker 1: your name. It's just the time in which this show airs.
- 23:35Speaker 4: Um, you stole it, David, but it's okay. But listen, listen, uh,
- 23:39Speaker 4: you know, you had a great monologue and I think
- 23:41Speaker 4: everything you said was right on the money, but I
- 23:43Speaker 4: will say this though, after the COVID pandemic, People have
- 23:48Speaker 4: lost faith in the government. So what is called cognitive dissonance,
- 23:52Speaker 4: the definition of that is the fact that you know
- 23:54Speaker 4: the government is lying to you, but the people still
- 23:57Speaker 4: believe the COVID narrative. They still took the vaccine. So
- 24:00Speaker 4: a lot of people realize that the government is going
- 24:02Speaker 4: to continue to tinkle on us and tell us it's raining.
- 24:06Speaker 4: So I think it is actually a little healthy to
- 24:07Speaker 4: ask questions. I know Charlie asked questions about the Butler
- 24:10Speaker 4: assassination attempt and I think that's actually healthy to have
- 24:13Speaker 4: these conversations, but when it comes to the controversies and
- 24:16Speaker 4: the conspiracies surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination, they're asking the wrong questions.
- 24:21Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's very obvious that Tyler Robinson
- 24:24Speaker 4: was the killer, but they should be asking, what does
- 24:26Speaker 4: Lance Twiggs have to do with this? What are the
- 24:28Speaker 4: Discord messages? Like, there are questions that we should be asking,
- 24:32Speaker 4: but blaming Erica Kirk, an innocent woman, that there's zero
- 24:36Speaker 4: evidence that she had anything to do with her husband's death, or...
- 24:39Speaker 4: former employees or current employees of Turning Point USA that
- 24:42Speaker 4: worship the ground that Charlie walked on, the idea that
- 24:45Speaker 4: they would assassinate their leader, the guy that basically was
- 24:49Speaker 4: the reason for any success that they had, no disrespect
- 24:51Speaker 4: to them, but I mean, let's be real, he created
- 24:53Speaker 4: the biggest political organization in the world and they were
- 24:55Speaker 4: a part of that because of Charlie's hard work. They
- 24:58Speaker 4: would have no incentive to kill Charlie Kirk. So I
- 25:01Speaker 4: think it's okay to ask questions. I just think they're
- 25:03Speaker 4: asking the wrong questions.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Yeah, and I agree with you.
- 25:06Speaker 1: It is okay to ask questions, and it makes sense
- 25:08Speaker 1: that we don't have all of the answers. I mean,
- 25:11Speaker 1: there's still a trial that has to go on. I'm
- 25:14Speaker 1: sure the people investigating the murder aren't rushing to give
- 25:18Speaker 1: Candace Owens all of the evidence that they're holding for trial.
- 25:21Speaker 1: So there is, I can understand where the speculation comes from,
- 25:24Speaker 1: but you make an excellent point. After COVID, people are
- 25:27Speaker 1: not just going to accept the narrative. They're going to
- 25:29Speaker 1: ask questions, and it is healthy. The unfortunate part, Alex,
- 25:32Speaker 1: is that In this heightened need for information, this heightened
- 25:39Speaker 1: distrust for the official narrative, exactly like you said, people
- 25:42Speaker 1: took an opportunity to take cheap shots at people. There's
- 25:45Speaker 1: no conspiracy theory that allows them to kind of take
- 25:49Speaker 1: those leaps. And Erica Kirk is a perfect example in
- 25:51Speaker 1: the attacks on her. the suggestions that she had something
- 25:54Speaker 1: to do with. And again, I didn't want to get
- 25:55Speaker 1: into the conspiracies because they're not even worth repeating in
- 25:57Speaker 1: some instances. But the fact that some people have taken
- 26:00Speaker 1: the opportunity in that vacuum and in that distrust to
- 26:03Speaker 1: kind of exploit this, and I think that's really the
- 26:05Speaker 1: shameful part of this, right?
- 26:08Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, it's the internet. I wear a
- 26:10Speaker 4: tug-friendly bathing suit to city council. I don't have that
- 26:12Speaker 4: much shame. A lot of these people out there, they
- 26:14Speaker 4: wouldn't have a job. They couldn't work a normal nine-to-five job.
- 26:18Speaker 4: So they go on the internet and they act shameless.
- 26:20Speaker 4: So It's like I'm not surprised because when it comes
- 26:23Speaker 4: to Charlie Kirk, he was constantly attacked while he was alive.
- 26:26Speaker 4: You know, the South Park episode that went after him,
- 26:28Speaker 4: Charlie took that with a grain of salt and turned
- 26:30Speaker 4: his profile picture into the South Park version of himself.
- 26:34Speaker 4: So Charlie was attacked literally while he was still alive.
- 26:37Speaker 4: So I'm not surprised that he's getting attacked after his death.
- 26:40Speaker 4: But sadly, those attacks are coming from people that he
- 26:42Speaker 4: considered his good friends. So I think that's where it's
- 26:44Speaker 4: really so disheartening. is the fact that people like Candace, who, listen,
- 26:48Speaker 4: she was close to Charlie. She's allowed to ask questions,
- 26:50Speaker 4: but for her to attack Erica Kirk, for her to
- 26:52Speaker 4: come up with airplanes and this and that, there's no
- 26:57Speaker 4: concrete evidence to really prove any of her claims correct.
- 27:00Speaker 4: So it just comes with the hard line to walk.
- 27:04Speaker 4: What is a healthy amount of questions to ask? And
- 27:07Speaker 4: what are personal attacks because of jealousy or because of
- 27:11Speaker 4: personal vendettas? So it's just It's a very complicated situation
- 27:14Speaker 4: when it really shouldn't be because we are about to
- 27:17Speaker 4: have this trial, and a lot of those answers that
- 27:19Speaker 4: we don't have will be answered. So, you know, we
- 27:22Speaker 4: just kind of have to let it all play out.
- 27:24Speaker 4: But once again, I don't think it's, like, unhealthy to
- 27:28Speaker 4: start asking questions surrounding this, but I don't think we're
- 27:31Speaker 4: asking the right questions. We've lost a lot of distrust
- 27:34Speaker 4: in the government. Governor Whitmer was kidnapped basically by a
- 27:37Speaker 4: bunch of FBI agents, and there's all kinds of, you
- 27:40Speaker 4: know— There's all kinds of funny business that the government
- 27:43Speaker 4: has done. So I think it's OK that the government,
- 27:45Speaker 4: you know, that we have distrust in the government. But
- 27:48Speaker 4: Erica Kirk does not deserve that. You know, the McCoys,
- 27:52Speaker 4: Andrew Colvette, like they didn't have anything to do with
- 27:55Speaker 4: Charlie's death. So I don't like the personal attacks on them.
- 27:57Speaker 4: But distrusting the government, I'll say that's healthy. But it's
- 28:01Speaker 4: just a sad situation because Charlie's legacy was so monumental
- 28:06Speaker 4: and it's really tarnished it. And even when I, you know,
- 28:09Speaker 4: I still get to represent Turning Point USA. And when
- 28:11Speaker 4: I post that I'm going to a school, I read
- 28:13Speaker 4: all these comments.
- 28:14Speaker 2: Oh, you're a shill.
- 28:15Speaker 4: You're responsible for his death. And I just get some
- 28:17Speaker 4: of the most disgusting, you know, allegations. And I had
- 28:20Speaker 4: nothing to do with his death. So I can't imagine
- 28:23Speaker 4: what the people that were closest to Charlie feel, because
- 28:25Speaker 4: I don't like the way that it feels when people
- 28:27Speaker 4: accuse me and, you know, throw baseless accusations at me.
- 28:30Speaker 4: I just can't imagine the pain that they're going through.
- 28:33Speaker 4: So I'm ready to get some closure and to see
- 28:36Speaker 4: Tyler Robinson get found guilty. And but sadly, I don't
- 28:40Speaker 4: think that that's going to shut these people up. They're
- 28:42Speaker 4: going to continue to, I guess, question the narrative.
- 28:45Speaker 2: Yeah, unfortunately.
- 28:47Speaker 1: And look, like you said, it's OK to question whatever
- 28:49Speaker 1: you want. I think it's our duty at this point.
- 28:51Speaker 1: But man, the baseless attacks and dishonoring Charlie's legacy. And then,
- 28:55Speaker 1: of course, the division within our own movement. If there's
- 28:57Speaker 1: not you know, there's no bigger dishonor to Charlie than not.
- 29:01Speaker 2: It's not. It's OK. We disagree.
- 29:03Speaker 1: But to man, to tear apart the movement that he
- 29:06Speaker 1: literally died building, that is the most disrespectful way, I think,
- 29:10Speaker 1: to carry on this conversation.
- 29:11Speaker 2: We could disagree.
- 29:12Speaker 1: I think Charlie's legacy demands that we do. But there's
- 29:15Speaker 1: a difference between disagreeing and then blaming people and then
- 29:17Speaker 1: using that blame to divide the movement. And I think
- 29:20Speaker 1: that's where this thing went wrong. But Alex, thank you
- 29:23Speaker 1: so much for being here. And thank you for sharing
- 29:25Speaker 1: your insights on this. This is definitely a tough day
- 29:28Speaker 1: for a lot of people.
- 29:30Speaker 4: It's tough for me, and it's tough for a lot
- 29:32Speaker 4: of people. You know, seeing Charlie die, we were all affected,
- 29:35Speaker 4: whether we knew him or not, whether we were personal
- 29:37Speaker 4: friends or whether we worked at Turning Point. So I
- 29:40Speaker 4: know a lot of people are going through pain, and
- 29:42Speaker 4: with time, that pain gets a lot easier, but it
- 29:44Speaker 4: seems like we're just continually opening that wound. So thank
- 29:49Speaker 4: you for having me, David, and I appreciate you honoring
- 29:51Speaker 4: Charlie Kirk's legacy. So keep up the good work, and
- 29:54Speaker 4: thank you to everybody at OAN. Love you guys. Thank you, Alex.
- 29:57Speaker 2: Appreciate you being here.
- 29:59Speaker 1: When we come back, they wanted to stop him. What
- 30:02Speaker 1: they got was a revival instead. The story of what
- 30:05Speaker 1: Turning Point USA has become in the year since they
- 30:08Speaker 1: took Charlie from us.
- 30:14Speaker 6: For all of our viewers out there asking where to

- 30:51Speaker 1: We've spent this hour with Charlie Kirk, who he was
- 30:55Speaker 1: and what was taken from all of us a year
- 30:56Speaker 1: ago today.
- 30:57Speaker 2: But if you want to understand.
- 30:59Speaker 1: Why the people behind this failed, why they were always
- 31:03Speaker 1: going to fail, you don't have to look how the
- 31:07Speaker 1: story ended because it didn't. You have to look at
- 31:10Speaker 1: what Charlie Kirk built and where this story goes and
- 31:15Speaker 1: what that moment is doing right now all across this country.
- 31:19Speaker 1: Because turning point, was never just a one-man gig. It
- 31:23Speaker 1: was never just Charlie and his microphone. Sure, that's how
- 31:26Speaker 1: it started. But it's become one of the most powerful
- 31:30Speaker 1: movements in America. And in the years since we lost Charlie,
- 31:34Speaker 1: it hasn't slowed down not even a bit. It has exploded,
- 31:39Speaker 1: in fact, and there are now more than 1,100 college
- 31:42Speaker 1: chapters and over 3,000 high school chapters. The 54,000 requests
- 31:47Speaker 1: to start new ones in the days after his death
- 31:50Speaker 1: have since swelled past 135,000. The tour he was on
- 31:55Speaker 1: the day he died, the one they believed they had silence, well,
- 31:59Speaker 1: it rolls on too. Now it's called Turning Point Tour,
- 32:02Speaker 1: packing arenas and marching straight onto the most hostile campuses
- 32:06Speaker 1: in the country. But it reaches so far beyond the
- 32:10Speaker 1: Quad now. There is Turning Point USA Faith. Waking up
- 32:14Speaker 1: pastors and churches from coast to coast. There's Turning Point
- 32:17Speaker 1: USA Rise, the largest minority conservative movement in the nation.
- 32:21Speaker 1: There's TPUSA Communities, organizing not just students, but adults, families,
- 32:25Speaker 1: and young professionals in their own hometowns. There's Turning Point Action,
- 32:30Speaker 1: the political muscle that helped turn out the young vote
- 32:33Speaker 1: that put Donald Trump back in the White House. There's
- 32:36Speaker 1: an entire education wing building pro-America curriculum. for families walking
- 32:41Speaker 1: away from a broken school system. And just this month,
- 32:44Speaker 1: the Trump administration named Turning Point a lead partner in
- 32:48Speaker 1: a national coalition to teach the next generation what it
- 32:52Speaker 1: actually means to be American, right in time for this
- 32:57Speaker 1: nation's 250th birthday. Whole states, Texas, Oklahoma, are now racing
- 33:02Speaker 1: to put a chapter on every single campus within their borders.
- 33:05Speaker 1: And that is the answer to the evil of one
- 33:08Speaker 1: year ago.
- 33:09Speaker 2: They wanted a funeral. What they got, well, it was
- 33:12Speaker 2: a revival.
- 33:13Speaker 1: And underneath all of it, every chapter, every tour, every
- 33:17Speaker 1: rally runs the one thing Charlie always said mattered more
- 33:22Speaker 1: than politics ever could. Faith is love for Jesus Christ.
- 33:27Speaker 1: That is the rock this whole movement is built on.
- 33:30Speaker 1: And that is why it will outlast every enemy that
- 33:34Speaker 1: ever comes its way. My next guest lives this mission
- 33:38Speaker 1: every single day, an Olympian who travels the country, campus
- 33:41Speaker 1: to campus, meeting the young Americans now carrying Charlie's torch.
- 33:46Speaker 1: Let's talk about where this movement goes. I'm honored to
- 33:49Speaker 1: welcome Anthony Watson. Welcome back to David Pollak Prime Time.
- 33:54Speaker 1: Tough day, but an important one because we're remembering Charlie
- 33:58Speaker 1: and not just are we remembering Charlie, but now we're
- 34:01Speaker 1: looking at where his legacy goes and it's turning into
- 34:04Speaker 1: real action, right, Anthony?
- 34:06Speaker 11: Oh, I would say so. I mean, you look at
- 34:08Speaker 11: everything that happened the moment when he was taken away
- 34:11Speaker 11: from us, you know, movements. I keep telling everybody. I
- 34:14Speaker 11: don't really like it when people consider us a conservative movement.
- 34:17Speaker 11: Woodstock was a movement. Woodstock is dead. BLM was a movement.
- 34:20Speaker 11: BLM is dead. Conservatism has never been a movement because
- 34:23Speaker 11: it's your lifestyle choice. And we believe that on this side,
- 34:26Speaker 11: this is the choice that leads to longevity. And Charlie
- 34:29Speaker 11: was somebody that was just conveying to the public common sense.
- 34:32Speaker 11: And so now we get to continue all of that
- 34:34Speaker 11: because he said it himself. He wanted Turning to Point
- 34:37Speaker 11: to continue long after he was gone, but we didn't
- 34:39Speaker 11: expect him to be gone so soon. But now the
- 34:42Speaker 11: work continues. And, you know, as scripture puts it, it
- 34:44Speaker 11: says the work is plenty, but the laborers are few.
- 34:47Speaker 11: So in the wise words of myself that I tell
- 34:49Speaker 11: everybody everywhere I go, it's not about what's next because
- 34:52Speaker 11: we already know what's coming next. It's all about who's
- 34:54Speaker 11: next and who's ready to take up the mantle and
- 34:56Speaker 11: get busy and get doing the work.
- 34:58Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, it did start with a microphone
- 35:01Speaker 1: and a man over the table, but it became so
- 35:04Speaker 1: much more than that because Charlie tapped into so many
- 35:06Speaker 1: students that were frustrated that they didn't have a voice.
- 35:09Speaker 2: Charlie gave them a voice.
- 35:10Speaker 1: He gave them a place to feel welcome on their
- 35:12Speaker 1: own college campuses, and he did it by basically putting
- 35:16Speaker 1: himself out front. Donald Trump famously said, you know, they're
- 35:19Speaker 1: trying to get to you. I'm in the way. He
- 35:21Speaker 1: did the exact same thing from a different perspective. He
- 35:25Speaker 1: gave them a voice through him. And they tried to
- 35:28Speaker 1: take Charlie away, but that didn't change a thing. Look
- 35:30Speaker 1: at all the campuses. Now you go from high school
- 35:33Speaker 1: to high school, colleges to colleges. You go and talk
- 35:35Speaker 1: to young people everywhere. Young people now have a voice
- 35:38Speaker 1: and they've never been more motivated, right?
- 35:41Speaker 8: Oh, absolutely.
- 35:42Speaker 11: You know, because this is the time that we're in
- 35:43Speaker 11: right now. It's sad to say that the things that
- 35:48Speaker 11: mean the most to people are never going to actually
- 35:50Speaker 11: truly be seen for what they are. unless it costs
- 35:53Speaker 11: you something.
- 35:54Speaker 3: I think C.S.
- 35:54Speaker 11: Lewis said it best. He said that you never know
- 35:57Speaker 11: how true something is to you until it becomes a
- 35:59Speaker 11: matter of life and death. Our whole country and our
- 36:02Speaker 11: whole story as a nation has been the sacrifice of
- 36:05Speaker 11: other people. Our forefathers died in warfare for a country
- 36:07Speaker 11: that they just envisioned free from tyranny. And most of
- 36:10Speaker 11: them didn't even get to live in it when the
- 36:12Speaker 11: war was over. And Charlie Kirk fought for a free
- 36:15Speaker 11: America where expression and freedom of thought and freedom of
- 36:18Speaker 11: conversation That was a dying art and being heavily suppressed
- 36:22Speaker 11: was something that he fought for. And it's something that
- 36:24Speaker 11: inevitably led to his end. But the rest of us here,
- 36:28Speaker 11: you know, with everything that we have and the things
- 36:30Speaker 11: that he's built and put together for us, we refuse
- 36:32Speaker 11: to let that be the end of the story for us.
- 36:34Speaker 11: You know, it may have been the end of his chapter,
- 36:36Speaker 11: but it's not the end of the story for us
- 36:38Speaker 11: by any means.
- 36:39Speaker 1: And what Turning Point has turned into, I think, is
- 36:42Speaker 1: pretty impressive because, you know, you have the RNC and
- 36:45Speaker 1: you have they're supposed to be getting out the vote.
- 36:47Speaker 1: You have these other grassroots, national grassroots organizations.
- 36:51Speaker 8: But.
- 36:51Speaker 2: Turning Point, in my mind, has.
- 36:53Speaker 1: Now become the most effective, I don't even want to
- 36:56Speaker 1: call it a Republican grassroots organization, but it is certainly
- 36:59Speaker 1: a conservative grassroots organization. And it's united people, young people,
- 37:04Speaker 1: people of all ages together under really simple principles that
- 37:08Speaker 1: have always lived under the banner of the Republican Party,
- 37:11Speaker 1: but those conservative principles changed. the faith-based principles, the action-based principles,
- 37:15Speaker 1: those people who really want to have a voice in
- 37:18Speaker 1: their community and really know what's right. I mean, it's
- 37:22Speaker 1: really inherently what's included in this MAGA umbrella. And that
- 37:26Speaker 1: is what's moving forward. The political action wing of Turning Point,
- 37:31Speaker 1: I think, is going to be an effective operation for
- 37:35Speaker 1: elections to come, right?
- 37:38Speaker 11: Well, of course, you know, at the end of the day,
- 37:40Speaker 11: you know, we all want political allies to help us
- 37:42Speaker 11: have a country that runs for the betterment of everybody else.
- 37:45Speaker 11: That's what makes us different. We're not perfect by any means,
- 37:47Speaker 11: and we still have our skeletons in the closet of
- 37:49Speaker 11: things that we got wrong in the past. But for
- 37:52Speaker 11: as bad as we are on paper, we're still the
- 37:54Speaker 11: finish line for the rest of the world. And I
- 37:56Speaker 11: tell everybody, I said, it still deserves to be fought for.
- 37:59Speaker 11: Reagan said that freedom is one generation away from extinction.
- 38:03Speaker 11: And we got really close to seeing that until the
- 38:05Speaker 11: people finally got tired of being pushed aside. And for
- 38:08Speaker 11: the longest time, it was the bigs telling the littles
- 38:10Speaker 11: that this is what's happening and this is all we
- 38:12Speaker 11: can do and this is how you have to take it.
- 38:14Speaker 11: And for the first time in a long time, through Charlie,
- 38:16Speaker 11: through the administration that we have, through all the work
- 38:18Speaker 11: that we've been doing here at Turning Point, you finally
- 38:21Speaker 11: had people feel emboldened to speak. And when you finally
- 38:24Speaker 11: saw the majority turn out, we came out in numbers
- 38:26Speaker 11: that crushed the opposition. So that should never give anybody
- 38:29Speaker 11: any cause to be afraid of anything else. You know,
- 38:32Speaker 11: but I tell everybody this. If we lose the United
- 38:34Speaker 11: States of America, where do we go? We've got no
- 38:37Speaker 11: other place to go. And Charlie said it himself the best.
- 38:39Speaker 11: He said that America is the greatest country ever because
- 38:42Speaker 11: this is a place where you can hate it, talk
- 38:43Speaker 11: mad about it, and have every kind of issue with it,
- 38:46Speaker 11: but still you'll never leave. And so I'm a firm
- 38:50Speaker 11: believer that we still have a lot of work to do.
- 38:53Speaker 11: And it's not something that's an overnight fix, but we've
- 38:55Speaker 11: come a long way from where we've come before. But
- 38:57Speaker 11: outside of just having political allies, I'm a Christian. And
- 39:00Speaker 11: I want more people to come and know the Savior
- 39:02Speaker 11: that I love and know and serve every single day.
- 39:04Speaker 11: Because without having a moral compass that guides you to
- 39:07Speaker 11: go to all of these places, to actually speak life
- 39:09Speaker 11: into places where there's nothing but death and hopelessness, then
- 39:13Speaker 11: what are we doing this for? At the end of
- 39:14Speaker 11: the day, Charlie is in heaven right now, and he's
- 39:16Speaker 11: living his best life eternally. And your eternity is something
- 39:19Speaker 11: that you are 100% in control of where you spend it.
- 39:22Speaker 11: And the message of the hour isn't just who you
- 39:24Speaker 11: vote for. It's how you live. Because at the end
- 39:26Speaker 11: of the day, the person that you need to take
- 39:28Speaker 11: account for is yourself. Because death is coming to every
- 39:31Speaker 11: single one of us. And if you're not mission-minded to
- 39:33Speaker 11: be doing this for a greater good, for a bigger
- 39:35Speaker 11: purpose that's bigger than yourself, then you're going to be
- 39:37Speaker 11: like everybody else that started out really good but finished poorly.
- 39:41Speaker 4: Oh, Anthony.
- 39:42Speaker 1: Well said, my friend. I could tell you a lot
- 39:46Speaker 1: of people agree with you completely. I agree with you completely.
- 39:48Speaker 1: And You know, sometimes it seems like there's a lot
- 39:50Speaker 1: of division, especially heading towards these midterms. And, you know,
- 39:53Speaker 1: a lot of times you're looking around saying, can we survive?
- 39:56Speaker 1: Can the coalition survive? And I think if we honor
- 40:00Speaker 1: Charlie exactly the way you just laid out, I think
- 40:02Speaker 1: the coalition can survive. But certainly I know I miss
- 40:06Speaker 1: his voice right now. A lot of people miss his voice,
- 40:08Speaker 1: but his legacy lives on. Anthony, thank you so much
- 40:11Speaker 1: for all the work you're doing to carry on his
- 40:13Speaker 1: legacy and to serve the.
- 40:14Speaker 2: Mission, my friend.
- 40:15Speaker 11: Thank you so much. I'll see you out in the field.
- 40:17Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 40:18Speaker 2: Thanks for being here.

- 42:11Speaker 1: Tomorrow, this country will mark 25 years since the attack
- 42:15Speaker 1: on 9-11. And while we spent this hour grieving a
- 42:18Speaker 1: great American life stolen by evil, we also talked about
- 42:21Speaker 1: coming together in the aftermath of tragedy. And tomorrow, our
- 42:26Speaker 1: own Alex Camerata has put together something special for this anniversary.
- 42:31Speaker 1: A half hour that takes you back through that day
- 42:36Speaker 1: and through the extraordinary weeks and months that followed. when
- 42:39Speaker 1: this nation remembered who it was. Because if you were
- 42:43Speaker 1: alive in that September morning, you remember what came after.
- 42:48Speaker 1: It wasn't just the terror or the towers or the
- 42:50Speaker 1: Pentagon or that field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 souls gone
- 42:54Speaker 1: in a single day. You remember what happened next. You
- 42:59Speaker 1: remember the firefighters climbing the stairs while everyone else ran down,
- 43:02Speaker 1: the stories of heroism, the lines around the block to
- 43:05Speaker 1: give blood, the flags that went up on every porch
- 43:08Speaker 1: and every overpass in America. For one moment, there were
- 43:12Speaker 1: no red states or blue states. It was just America, wounded, grieving,
- 43:17Speaker 1: but standing together as one. Joining me now with a
- 43:20Speaker 1: special preview of tomorrow's A special show. Alex Camerata, welcome.
- 43:26Speaker 1: Great job on this 9-11 special. I can't believe it's
- 43:30Speaker 1: been 25 years.
- 43:32Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.
- 43:34Speaker 1: So you went to New York, right? You spoke to survivors.
- 43:37Speaker 1: You went and gathered all of this information together. What
- 43:40Speaker 1: struck you 25 years later?
- 43:43Speaker 3: One of the most compelling things, David, is that actually
- 43:45Speaker 3: a third of the population has no recollection of 9-11.
- 43:47Speaker 3: They were born post-9-11. So one of the things I
- 43:51Speaker 3: learned at the memorial and the museum was that we
- 43:53Speaker 3: have a whole generation that doesn't exactly know what happened
- 43:57Speaker 3: because they weren't alive yet. And what they're learning about
- 43:59Speaker 3: in history books and in history classes just doesn't really
- 44:03Speaker 3: sum it up enough. And when you go to the museum,
- 44:05Speaker 3: you really get that actual feeling of being at ground
- 44:08Speaker 3: zero where the towers once stood. And it's so compelling.
- 44:11Speaker 3: I mean, this is the worst terror attack on American soil.
- 44:14Speaker 3: And you think 25 years later, we say never forget.
- 44:17Speaker 3: But if you look at how New York is kind
- 44:18Speaker 3: of unfolding right now, it seems like sometimes we do forget.
- 44:21Speaker 3: So it's a stark reminder of just that day and
- 44:24Speaker 3: how we can, like you said in your monologue, be Americans.
- 44:26Speaker 3: No red, no blue. Just come together as patriots like
- 44:29Speaker 3: we did on September 12th and thereafter.
- 44:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, for me, I was in college, and
- 44:34Speaker 1: I remember September 11th. I remember waking up in the morning,
- 44:38Speaker 1: watching the news, and I was like, what is going on?
- 44:40Speaker 2: And it was about by 9 a.m.
- 44:42Speaker 1: That we realized something terrible was happening when the second
- 44:44Speaker 1: plane struck that other tower. And I remember what happened after.
- 44:48Speaker 1: I mean, a lot of people signed up to fight.
- 44:51Speaker 1: People were very patriotic. There wasn't politics for a good
- 44:55Speaker 1: period of time. There was unity and tragedy. I remember
- 44:59Speaker 1: the Benefit concert that came after. But What strikes me
- 45:02Speaker 1: now is that 25 years later, you do ask the question,
- 45:04Speaker 1: have we forgotten? And I'm going to talk about this
- 45:06Speaker 1: tomorrow on my show. You wonder if we have forgotten
- 45:10Speaker 1: because some people, I mean, obviously the younger people in
- 45:13Speaker 1: this country, like my kids, they look at it like
- 45:16Speaker 1: I look at like Pearl Harbor, right?
- 45:18Speaker 2: My kids are like, that happened a long time.
- 45:20Speaker 3: Ago, dad.
- 45:20Speaker 1: I'm like, well, it really didn't. But the messages from it,
- 45:24Speaker 1: you wonder if we're carrying those forward. And when you
- 45:27Speaker 1: look at all I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER.
- 45:29Speaker 1: I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER. WE'RE SUPPOSED
- 45:32Speaker 1: TO REMEMBER THE feels like when we're all fighting as one, right?
- 45:48Speaker 3: Absolutely. And in the piece, you'll see that there was
- 45:51Speaker 3: acts of heroism. You had first responders, law enforcement. They
- 45:55Speaker 3: didn't know the scale of the attack. They just at
- 45:57Speaker 3: first got a call about one of the World Trade
- 45:59Speaker 3: Centers being hit by a plane. First, it seemed like
- 46:02Speaker 3: it was a small jet, and then they found out
- 46:03Speaker 3: it was a commercial airline. And then the second plane
- 46:06Speaker 3: hits the tower. But it didn't matter. The scale of
- 46:08Speaker 3: the attack, they were running into those buildings with only
- 46:12Speaker 3: one goal in mind, was to save as many people
- 46:14Speaker 3: as possible. They had no idea what would transpire minutes
- 46:17Speaker 3: later with those towers going down. Their whole idea was
- 46:20Speaker 3: to try to rescue Americans. They didn't see any race, color, creed.
- 46:23Speaker 3: They didn't see political sides. They just wanted to rescue people.
- 46:27Speaker 3: And those are the true heroes that I wanted to
- 46:29Speaker 3: highlight in the piece. And That's one of the compelling things.
- 46:31Speaker 3: You talked about signing up for the military. I mean,
- 46:34Speaker 3: so many Americans did that because they felt compelled to
- 46:36Speaker 3: fight for our country, which it seems like now they're
- 46:40Speaker 3: almost giving incentives to join the military. And you see
- 46:42Speaker 3: a lot of that try to get the people to
- 46:44Speaker 3: sign up in this country for our armed services. Back
- 46:46Speaker 3: then it was, let's go to war. Let's fight this
- 46:48Speaker 3: enemy that did this to us that killed nearly 3,000 people.
- 46:52Speaker 3: And by the way, this just didn't happen in New
- 46:53Speaker 3: York City. You had talked about it in the monologue
- 46:55Speaker 3: as well. The Pentagon was struck. And the Shawshank, Pennsylvania plane,
- 46:59Speaker 3: United 93, that went down. That had a one-way ticket
- 47:02Speaker 3: to potentially the White House or the Capitol building. And
- 47:05Speaker 3: if it wasn't for brave Americans on that plane who
- 47:07Speaker 3: now we know years later wrestled the terrorists down and
- 47:10Speaker 3: took control to basically stop that from happening, I mean,
- 47:13Speaker 3: truly the acts of heroism pale in comparison to really
- 47:16Speaker 3: anything else we've seen.
- 47:18Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's really the story that we should be
- 47:20Speaker 2: taking forward, 9-11.
- 47:21Speaker 1: We shouldn't be focusing on so much the causation, even
- 47:25Speaker 1: if there's questions about it. What we should focus on
- 47:27Speaker 1: is how America really showed its true colors and came
- 47:30Speaker 1: together and spoke as one.
- 47:31Speaker 2: Let's watch a clip from the special.
- 47:34Speaker 5: This generation has exactly the courage of the generation.
- 47:38Speaker 3: Before the Second World War.
- 47:39Speaker 4: They inherited it.
- 47:40Speaker 7: They were taught it.
- 47:42Speaker 2: They have it.
- 47:43Speaker 4: They're just as strong and they're just.
- 47:44Speaker 3: As capable of defending themselves and defending democracy.
- 47:47Speaker 2: Yeah, remember America's mayor.
- 47:49Speaker 3: I remember Rudy Giuliani.
- 47:51Speaker 1: He tirelessly, just every single day there at Ground Zero,
- 47:57Speaker 1: trying to bring calm to a very chaotic situation.
- 48:00Speaker 3: That clip from about September 12th, though, one at ground zero,
- 48:03Speaker 3: he was foreshadowing how the country would come together and
- 48:07Speaker 3: basically how the generation, like he said, had the courage
- 48:10Speaker 3: to fight continued going into the future and not just
- 48:14Speaker 3: stopping there. And it's so easy to throw up your
- 48:15Speaker 3: hands in tragedy like that. But Rudy, America's mayor, who's
- 48:19Speaker 3: a guest of One America News here, he just knew
- 48:22Speaker 3: in that moment when chaos was around him, literally. I mean,
- 48:25Speaker 3: the city was burnt down to the ground. He knew
- 48:28Speaker 3: that we had the generation, the ones that actually saw
- 48:31Speaker 3: 9-11 and were there, to basically rise up in the
- 48:34Speaker 3: face of terror and tragedy and go in and just
- 48:37Speaker 3: fight for the country and not worry about anything else.
- 48:39Speaker 3: So that clip, I felt, was very compelling just because
- 48:42Speaker 3: it really speaks to the moment, September 12th at Ground Zero.
- 48:47Speaker 3: What's more tragic than that? And Rudy stood in the
- 48:49Speaker 3: face of that and said what he said.
- 48:50Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 48:50Speaker 1: And there's also stories of both, you know, the victims
- 48:53Speaker 1: and the survivors. And all of them have have stories
- 48:58Speaker 1: that are just so compelling. Some of the people that
- 49:00Speaker 1: ran in there was the guy with the red bandana
- 49:03Speaker 1: was one who was just honored by President Trump. His
- 49:05Speaker 1: family was honored by President Trump. There's so many stories
- 49:07Speaker 1: of the brave people that just. ran into the face
- 49:11Speaker 1: of danger. But then there was also the survivors, the
- 49:13Speaker 1: people that have lived with the memory of 9-11. While
- 49:15Speaker 1: the young people might not know about it, and maybe
- 49:17Speaker 1: some of the older folks have forgotten, these people carry
- 49:21Speaker 1: those memories forward.
- 49:22Speaker 2: And it's for them that we also remember 9-11, right?
- 49:24Speaker 2: And you have a clip from.
- 49:26Speaker 3: That as well. One survivor talks about basically, as you'll see,
- 49:29Speaker 3: how he lives his life now, knowing that he's got
- 49:31Speaker 3: the survivors and the victims in the back of his
- 49:34Speaker 3: head and how he wants to honor them. Take a look.
- 49:36Speaker 12: When I get up in the morning, I try to think,
- 49:39Speaker 12: What can I do in their name to make it
- 49:44Speaker 12: a better world? And I can't tell you that I'm
- 49:48Speaker 12: going to always be the steward of greatness, but I
- 49:51Speaker 12: try my hardest to, in their spirit, in the name
- 49:54Speaker 12: of 9-11 and the people that were taken from us senselessly,
- 49:58Speaker 12: to be the best person I can.
- 50:03Speaker 1: Going down there and talking to these people, and again,
- 50:05Speaker 1: this memory, 9-11, it's always fresh in my mind, and
- 50:09Speaker 1: probably yours as well.
- 50:10Speaker 2: I mean, we lived through this.
- 50:12Speaker 1: But going down there and sort of reliving it through
- 50:15Speaker 1: the conversations that you had, what is the big takeaway
- 50:18Speaker 1: for you on this 25th anniversary of 9-11?
- 50:21Speaker 3: Well, it's just that. It's the 25th anniversary. But for
- 50:24Speaker 3: so many people, thousands and thousands of people across the country,
- 50:27Speaker 3: it's not just 9-11, 2025. It's 9-11 every day. You
- 50:31Speaker 3: can't get past it. It was such a tragic, awful
- 50:34Speaker 3: moment for these families. And every day is a reminder
- 50:37Speaker 3: of what happened and why this happened. And they have
- 50:41Speaker 3: to just come to terms with and try to continue
- 50:43Speaker 3: on and live their lives. And, you know, I've heard
- 50:45Speaker 3: stories of people just doing this because they felt like
- 50:47Speaker 3: they had to. They felt like, the person that they lost,
- 50:50Speaker 3: a relative, a brother, sister, husband, it didn't matter. They
- 50:53Speaker 3: knew they had to continue on for them. And that
- 50:55Speaker 3: was one of the big takeaways, also talking to folks
- 50:57Speaker 3: at the memorial and the museum, how to be honored
- 50:59Speaker 3: that way, because really it does come down to not
- 51:02Speaker 3: only the victims, but how do we keep moving on?
- 51:05Speaker 3: And these people that share their stories, when they do
- 51:07Speaker 3: tell their stories, you think it'd be hard for them
- 51:09Speaker 3: to tell, and it is, but they want to get
- 51:10Speaker 3: the word out there and say, listen, we deal with
- 51:12Speaker 3: this every day, but this is how we're going to survive.
- 51:14Speaker 3: This is how we're going to keep moving on, because
- 51:16Speaker 3: never forgetting is not just 9-11, 25, and then not
- 51:19Speaker 3: worry about it until, or 26, not worry about it
- 51:22Speaker 3: until 27. It's every day going forward.
- 51:24Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, on the other solemn anniversary of
- 51:27Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk's assassination, that message resonates here, too.
- 51:30Speaker 2: It's you remember by not just.
- 51:33Speaker 1: Carrying the memory forward, but also having to honor the victims,
- 51:37Speaker 1: both 9-11, honoring Charlie Kirk, by remembering that moment when
- 51:40Speaker 1: all Americans can come together and really just put this
- 51:44Speaker 1: country first. And, you know, that's the takeaway, and that's
- 51:46Speaker 1: what I hope people remember is we can come together
- 51:49Speaker 1: in the face of tragedy and something good can come
- 51:51Speaker 1: out of evil.
- 51:52Speaker 3: Yeah. And I just think also calling it what it is, right?
- 51:55Speaker 3: Why it happened. Same thing with why Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
- 51:59Speaker 3: We know leftist terror, right? In the same way that
- 52:02Speaker 3: 9-11 happened, it was the Islamic terror. And that's just
- 52:05Speaker 3: the facts of it. That's not any sort of spin
- 52:08Speaker 3: or narrative. That's why it happened. And calling it why
- 52:11Speaker 3: it happened can actually help us understand, hey, this is
- 52:14Speaker 3: the problem that we're facing, and it's not going anywhere.
- 52:16Speaker 3: In fact, it's probably heightened now more than ever. How
- 52:19Speaker 3: do we stop that? How do we make sure that
- 52:20Speaker 3: people learn from it? Like I mentioned, the third of
- 52:23Speaker 3: the population has no clue without just reading. So it's
- 52:26Speaker 3: on us to really tell that story. And I was
- 52:28Speaker 3: so happy that I got an opportunity to do this
- 52:31Speaker 3: for OAN here and excited to show it.
- 52:33Speaker 2: Yeah, Alex, great job.
- 52:35Speaker 1: Great job honoring the victims, showing the spirit of unity
- 52:38Speaker 1: in the aftermath of a terrible tragedy 25 years later.
- 52:41Speaker 11: Thanks, David.
- 52:41Speaker 2: Appreciate it.
- 52:42Speaker 3: Thank you. Yeah.
- 52:44Speaker 2: That's our show for tonight. Tough night.
- 52:46Speaker 1: We remember Charlie, and tomorrow, another tough day. We remember
- 52:50Speaker 1: 25 years since the buildings fell on 9-11, and we're dedicating.
- 52:53Speaker 2: An entire program to it.
- 52:55Speaker 1: You're going to hear from the survivors who lived through
- 52:57Speaker 1: that morning, from the warriors who went and fought the
- 53:00Speaker 1: war on terror that followed, and from experts on a
- 53:03Speaker 1: hard and honest question how a quarter century and one
- 53:06Speaker 1: long war later, radical Islam is now pushing deeper into
- 53:10Speaker 1: the West.
- 53:10Speaker 2: It's a program you won't want to miss.
