Brandon Tatum (0:00)

Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

Mike Lee (0:03)

He just doesn't have the ego to tell you that.

Jack Posobiec (0:06)

I want to thank my great friend, Charlie Kirk. He's done something that is just incredible for somebody really of his age.

You need tremendous talent to do what he's done. Building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. And I want to thank you. Really, Charlie, incredible job.

I have the greatest job in the world. I couldn't be happier. Every day, I feel as if what I'm saying, what I'm doing is making a difference, giving people meaning.

Charlie, you should have emotion. This is a moment.

Savannah Hernandez (0:52)

You totally reformed the GOP, and look what you guys have done.

Mike Lee (0:56)

There's some words here from you, Charlie.

Tyler Boyer (0:58)

You put all this together, my man.

Andrew Clennell (1:00)

I am just humbled by God's grace.

We did not earn this. This is God's mercy on our country.

Tyler Boyer (1:15)

Yes, you're on the Lord's side.

Andrew Clennell (1:21)

Wait, so a campus thing I've been doing for 13 years to debate random college kids has now been so important that it gets prominent primetime placement on Comedy Central. I think the whole thing is just awesome.

Joe Bob (1:35)

I'm just, I'm finding out how honest you are, Charlie, and so far, I think you're doing good, and I hope I'm doing good with you.

Andrew Clennell (1:49)

Matt, walk us through the decades-long journey from 2015 to today on the public opinion battle. Pete, you're doing a phenomenal job. I just want to say that from the American people that you don't get the credit, that you deserve obviously in the mainstream media. Michael, why are people going back to church?

JD Vance (2:06)

People are going back to church because the atheism ran out of steam.

Andrew Clennell (2:10)

Bobby Kennedy, welcome back to the program.

Joe Bob (2:12)

Charlie, thanks for having me.

Andrew Clennell (2:13)

Ben, thank you for taking the time. I was moved by your podcast on Monday about how we must stare the evil in the face. Very special hour episode for you today. My wife joins us, Erica Kirk, the beautiful, legendary Erica.

Jack Posobiec (2:28)

Love you. You're my best friend.

Andrew Clennell (2:29)

Welcome to The Charlie Kirk Show. Last week, we welcomed our beautiful daughter into the world. Most important thing that one can do except giving your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we, Erica and I and our family, we're celebrating the birth of our son. Becoming a father has radicalized me, in the best way possible, by the way. And it's made me, first of all, understand that what I'm fighting for is beyond even yourself, which is so important. It also makes me very fired up at anybody, any institution, any movement, that would dare try to corrupt our children. It's a source of immense joy and meaning and beauty.

And it's also a source of motivation and purpose. I encourage more young people to get married and have kids. You'll be happier because of it.

My wife is the best person ever, and she's a patriot and she's a believer. And we don't want to have to be accountable to God when this life passes. And he asks, why did you not trust in me and not fight evil? Because we as Christians are called to fight evil. It's one of the less lesser known scriptures, Psalm 97 10 For those of you that love God, you must hate evil. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. That's it. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

The most important question that you can answer in your life is the question, who is Jesus Christ?

Was he an act of fiction? Was he a fable or was he what I believe and what many people here believe? The Savior of the world. You are commanded to go do something productive with your life. That you are not commanded to go sit idly by and just receive. You are commanded to go give and to produce and to risk and to then go sow into other people. That is a biblical idea that has made the world a profoundly better place.

If everything completely goes away, how do you want to be remembered?

Andrew Clennell (4:35)

If I die?
