I talk to a lot of young people on campuses at our events on my radio show podcast and Social media said differently. I visit college campuses so you don't have to. We're talking to so many voters that know it is time for change. They know that something is wrong. America's future is a series of choices. Our current state of slow motion, national decline is a choice. Today is our two year old's birthday and I look at my daughter and that is my why. For those that are parents, you know exactly what I mean. There is no mountain that stands tall as your faithfulness. There is no river that runs wide as your goodness. Man, Charlie, I, I remember when we were starting these out and it was that. Like that. No, it was like this. It was like, it was like your average three rows. It was like your average political meeting where there was like 12 in a room. And this is, this is awesome. This, in my personal opinion, was the most over the top Trump event that I've ever covered. This is the number one boots on the ground operation in the country. We're working directly in harmony with the Trump campaign. It's been vetted, it's been cleared, it's been blessed, as you can see there. And we're going to try to win this thing. No guarantees. It's what we do that matters. Mr. President, I can tell you this room is 100% with you and we have your back. God bless you. Thank you. As you know, we are heading on campus here momentarily at the University of South Florida, throwing it down with the students. It's going to be a lot of fun. We are excited to continue this cultural movement that we have started at Turning Point usa. More high school chapters, more college chapters. And disagreement is not just welcome, it is invited. We want to have those tough conversations. That's what it's all about. Because you're not supposed to be involved in this. You're supposed to just kind of be on the vote for me every four years, give me more political power and stay out of my business. And what has happened is we are seeing an explosion in citizen participation. All my days, your mercy, follow me. Oh, there is nothing else I'll ever need. Knock on that extra door, go that extra mile, talk to that extra friend. Because throughout voting month and culminating on the 5th of November, I believe it will go down as a day that people remember, as a day that is written about history books, as the final battle. From the golden escalator on down, from defeating Hillary Clinton, from The nonsense of 2020, from Butler, Pennsylvania, November 5, it all culminates where we restore the promise that the founders gave us. And they said hey, if the people want it, the people get it. And we the people take back America. God Bless Arizona and thank you so much. Every day the American people demand certain accomplishments and victories. Disagreement is what keeps a movement alive, keeps a movement fun. Here in this country. We are a country of flourishing. We're a country of risk taking. We're a country of building. We will achieve American greatness and we are just getting started. All my days, your mercy Follow me the US Electric grid is approaching a breaking point. As demand soars from data centers and home energy use, our aging infrastructure can't keep up.

You found the place for truth. The voice of a generation that still has the will to believe in the greatest country in the history of the world. This is the Charlie Kirk Show. Buckle up, here we go. I remember driving around as a sophomore and a junior in high school, listening to your radio program in the morning. I wasn't there when you gave the speech at the Lincoln Memorial, is that right? But I saw it. I remember saw it being simulcasted and you said some very, I think, prophetic things there. I know it. I have been looking for the next George Washington. I can't find him. He may be 8 years old, but this is the moment. Now 18 year old Charlie Kirk is saying enough is enough. This is Charlie Kirk reporting from Marquette University. I like ideas. I don't like politicians, I don't like parties. I like principle. Do not go quietly when truth is on the line. I mean democratic socialism, you know, the people social. It's socialism which inherently means the following. It is immoral, it is evil, it is impractical when put in practice. Do not surrender to the shadows. But I'm here for the silent majority that is silent no longer. To give them the courage, confidence and conviction to fight on campuses even when and especially if you think the battle can no longer be won. We're not going to allow the ruling class elites, the radical left to continue to destroy this country from within. And we are a movement here that is growing by leaps and bounds. Charlie Kirk lived that mandate. And I believe that marriage is a beautiful thing. And I believe that having children is a moral good for society. Biggest blessing. Oh, without a doubt. I don't think you know the impact you say, oh, Glenn, you made an impact on my life. Do you realize the impact you're having on the country? Remember when I did the thing in Washington D.C. in restoring honor? I do. And I said, somewhere in this crowd, maybe he's 7, maybe he's 15. Somewhere in this crowd is the next George Washington. And 25 years from now, he will come not to this stair, but to those stairs. We want to overemphasize grace, when in reality, Christ loves us too much to have us continue to live in sin. He wants us to try to elevate our actions, to glorify God in all that we do. And he can proclaim, I have a new dream. I just went to church for the first time in several years. Today we went to church for the first time in a really long time. I've never, ever opened a Bible before, and something was calling me to my husband's Bible. Here's the line for the second service, and there's never a line. Jesus of Nazareth and the resurrection is the. Is the pinpoint of my belief that Jesus did rise from the grave so that we may live. The light is dimming, yes, but it always does before the dawn. Hello, my name is Glenn Beck, and I am a friend of Charlie Kirk's. You may not know who I am, but one thing I am known for is my emotions. And I think we're going to need a tarp today. This is. I knew this was going to be difficult, but to sit in the studio right next to his chair is more difficult than I imagined. I want to talk to you a little bit about the future, but I want to talk to you a little bit about my friend as well. I knew Charlie when he was young. I first met him, I think he was 17 years old. He was amazing. He was so well read, so smart, so clear. I thought, this is an amazing man. I remember the first time I met Ben Shapiro. I think he was 13 years old. I interviewed him the first time. He was sitting on his family's washing machine doing an interview with me, and he said he was on a phone that used to have. It was a hard line, so it had the phone wire that he had to pull it all the way around, and he couldn't keep his sister quiet, so he went in and closed it on the phone wire and sat on the washing machine. Stop it. I'm going to be on the Glenn Beck Show. And he was impressive, but there was something special about Charlie Kirk. I want to share a story that I've never shared before, and I so regret that we ran out of time. It's a story that I had hoped to tell Charlie myself in the next couple of months. When I first met Charlie, and this is the kind of guy he was, he was so gracious. I first met him, he was young, and I said, so what do you want to do? What is it you want? What do you want to do? So gracious. He said, I want to be you. I want to do what you do. Let me translate. I want to be Rush Limbaugh. He didn't want to be me. He wanted to be Rush Limbaugh. He wanted to be one of the, as Rush said, radio's greatest of all time. And I remember thinking, well, kid, maybe someday, because I think you have it. I brought something with me today that I thought was appropriate while I did the show that I would sit in front of Charlie's microphone. It was given to me after the death of Rush Limbaugh by his wife. It is Rush's golden microphone. I think it's appropriate that it sits in front of Charlie's microphone. What I would have said to Charlie was, you were thinking too small. I want to be Rush Limbaugh someday. I'm a broadcaster. Rush was a broadcaster, but Charlie was a broadcaster and a narrow caster. Charlie was a pastor and a priest and listening to the way he could argue and think differently. He was a rabbi as well, and one of the best. He was a political organizer. He was a political think tank himself. He was a compassionate friend. He surpassed Rush Limbaugh by miles. We'll continue in a minute. We must stop calling Charlie anything other than a s.

Charlie Kirk's accused assassin is officially charged with aggravated murder. We did file just recently, within the last few minutes, a notice of intent to seek the death penalty that was filed by Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray, you your Honor and sign that. Thank you. I have reviewed the pre trial protective order and will be grant issuing this pre trial protective order in favor of erica Kirk. The 22 year old suspect made his first court appearance Tuesday via video from the jail where he's being held. He's also charged with felony discharge of a firearm causing serious injury. Prosecutors point out that children were present at the time of the shooting and that the suspect's DNA was found on the murder weapon. Those factors contribute to them seeking the death penalty. While Director Kash Patel was in the hot seat on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, President Trump and the first lady were en route to the United Kingdom. They're on the grounds of Windsor Castle as we speak. Meeting with King Charles. All of this is part of a royal state visit. The President and First lady will also visit St. George's Chapel and participate in a wreath laying at the tomb of Queen Elizabeth ii. This evening. They'll participate in state banquet in advance of meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for a bilateral meeting on tomorrow. The Two leaders are scheduled to meet with business leaders tomorrow as well, before the Commander in Chief returns to Washington. As for FBI Director Cash Patel, he continues facing criticism about how his agency handled the investigation into Charlie Kirk's murder and the release of information surrounding the suspect and other persons of interest. The director faced questions from both Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. Today, he's facing similar questions before House lawmakers. But it was Democrat Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey who used the opportunity to criticize the work Patel has been doing, even saying he doesn't believe the director will be on the job much longer. That's a quick check of your headlines. Andrew Colvett is with us. You were here a week ago. We're a week away. And what, same time? Yeah, we're probably about two hours or so out from, you know, the exact time of being a week. How are you doing? How's everybody at Turning Point doing? Well, after you made everybody bawl their eyes out in your first segment. You're open, Glenn. And I mean, I just, I have to say thank you for that. I, I can't even believe I'm seated so close to Russia's golden EIB microphone. That's crazy. And Charlie and I, I can't say how many times we said the golden EIB microphone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it, you, it was beautiful. We were all crying out in the control room. And so I am right now in this moment, very emotional. And I know that you watched his story grow and that tribute about the, the next George Washington and, and how he was, Charlie was so aware of that speech you gave and he wasn't there in person, but he watched, he watched it somewhere else live. And I, right now, I don't have many words because of how moving that was. You know, I said the other day, and I don't mean this, I mean, I'm not saying this to self aggrandize at all, but I looked at him almost like a professional son, you know what I mean? I looked at him because I watched him from a distance and I saw him young and I saw his desires and how he built and everything that he did. And as I was thinking about that, as I packed that microphone up yesterday, I was thinking about him and I thought, Charlie would have been president. Charlie would have been president. Rush wasn't president. Rush didn't have a desire to be president. And I don't know if Rush would have made a good. I'd make a horrible president. I don't know. Rush would have been a Better president than me. Charlie could have been a great president. He surpassed all of us. I don't know if there's another person in history on our side, at least in the last 150 years, that was like Charlie. To replace Charlie, you need maybe six people at the top of their craft to cover everything that he has done. Yeah. You know, I can't tell you how many times I was with Charlie, and people would beg him, you have to run for president. You have to run for president. Charlie would always, you know. Yeah, no, no, no. I'm. I'm happy doing what I'm doing. And I will say Charlie was. The existence of J.D. vance gave Charlie a lot of emotional freedom to say that next man up is J.D. our job is to support J.D. yeah. And I. You know, we wouldn't necessarily be loud and proud about that on this show because we understand there's dynamics, but, you know, Charlie was, in so many ways being honed and sharpened, and he was. Yeah. For such a job. And there was. Look at the difference in him in 10 years. Yeah, 15 years. Look at the difference in him. Can you imagine if he had 10 more years? 10 more years sharpening. Oh, my God. I mean. And people need to understand that, yes, Charlie was a brilliant communicator. Yes, he was an autodidact who kept studying the classics and political and philosophy and theology and all of these things. And he was deeply, deeply sincere in his faith. And. But he was also so skilled at the quiet things, the behind the scenes things. And he would honor people. He was trusted. If you got into a heated discussion in private with Charlie, nobody would ever hear about that if anything happened, because his goal was to keep people together. He understood that there are so many forces in our world and our politics that are ripping everybody apart. And I said this yesterday, but it bears repeating. He. Just. A few weeks before his death, he sent me this hierarchy of what the Greeks considered to be the highest virtues and the highest callings. And he said to me, he said, andrew, we are not the actors and the entertainers that are at the bottom. That's how the Greeks put it. He said, we need to strive to be statesmen and philosophers up at the top and theologians. And he said, this is what we're trying to be. Not that anybody could do that. Not everybody can do that. And God, he knew that God had put him in a position that he could keep people together. And so, you know, there would be times where everybody wanted us to go all in on this story or go all in on that and Charlie saw three steps ahead all the time. He was always thinking, long term, what will that do to the movement? And so he would craft his messaging and his strategy and you know, who we invited to what, you know, around. How do you, how do you manage this current moment so that everybody is still a part of this thing? I can't thank you enough for inviting us to be here. We are enough for coming. No, I mean, it is an honor. I called Stu yesterday and I said, stu, you should come with me. And he said this, this is history in the making. I mean, it's an honor to be here. Yeah. Well, you honor us and you're a beautiful tribute and open to him. And I know we're not done yet, but no, I, I can't thank you enough. Thank you. God bless and God bless everybody at TPUSA.

FBI Director Cash Patel is back on Capitol Hill today, this time testifying before members of the House Judiciary Committee. This is a live look at that specific hearing during his testimony before Senate lawmakers. Yesterday, though, the director offered up an update on where the investigation into Charlie Kirk's assassination stands. What we do for an interrogation perspective, we go and reach out to the family and community immediately. And we've conducted those investigations and interrogations with local law enforcement. And we're continuing to do that because those closest to the suspect are going to hopefully know the most about the suspect and his beliefs and his ideology. On top of that, unfortunately, it has been leaked that there was a Discord chat, and for those unfamiliar with it, it's a gaming chat room online that the suspect participated in. So what we're doing we've already done is serve legal process not just on Discord, so that the information we gathered is sustained and held in a evidentiary posture that we could use in prosecution should it be decided to do so. And we're also going to be investigating anyone and everyone involved in that Discord chat. Patel also making headlines for his tete a tete with several Democrat lawmakers, specifically California Senator Adam Schiff. The American people to believe that? Do you think they're stupid? No, I think the American people believe the truth, that I'm not in the weeds on the everyday movements. What I am doing is protecting this country, providing historic reforms and combating the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of you. And we have countlessly proven you to be a liar in Russia in January 6. You are the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate. You are disgraced to this and an utter coward. I'm not surprised, I'm not surprised that you continue to lie from your perch and put on a show so you can go raise money for your charade. You are a political buffoon at best. On this election we want to try to lose by less with younger voters and then we are going to create the most sophisticated, low propensity get out the vote turnout machine in modern political history for the right. And here was our theory of the case first on the get out the vote which is that we believed that there were millions of people that were Trump supporters that were not Trump voters. The people that would say yay Trump and they would be with them but they weren't putting a ballot in a box. They weren't casting a vote. Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. My name is Glenn Beck. I am filling in for Charlie. Let me describe the scene I got here this morning about 4:30am I do a national radio program starts at 9:00am Eastern Time. So by 6 we were broadcasting and there wasn't anybody here. Everybody is getting some well deserved sleep it looks like. I mean nobody here has slept for a while. And we got here and there's police that barricade the road right in front and their police all around. And it's an enormous tribute that is on the road sitting in front of tpusa. People have kind of it reminded me honestly of Princess Diana. I hadn't seen the outpouring like this since Elvis died and when Princess Diana died it's just this amazing outpouring of love. During the show during my national radio broadcast we, my staff walked in and said you have to move to another building. There is a bomb and somebody is here in front apparently packaged down and then gave a bomb threat. Turned out to be just some, I don't know. I don't know. But Satan thinks that he still can win and the more he pushes the, the brighter the light is going to get. I want to go to Ryan Morrow. I talked to him earlier today because one of the things that we have to do is we have to stop the funding of all of these things that are on the left that we have honestly now started to find out. I mean I've been exposing this stuff on chalkboards for years and years, almost two decades now. And how the George Soros is etc. Of the world are funding all of the worst of the worst. And Brian has done his work and has really come up with some smoking guns especially on George Soros. Donald Trump can use as Rico Charges. And Ryan is here to lay this all out. What did you find, Ryan? Well, we had some amazing findings according to George Soros own files from his Open Society Foundations. So myself, my colleagues at Capital Research center basically went through as many grants of his, as many funding streams as we could find. And here's the smoking guns that we believe that President Trump, if he's informed of it, can use to go after Soros's network of hate in various ways. We traced over $80 million going from the Open Society Foundations to at least 54 groups engaged in crime and domestic terrorism on US soil or that are pro terrorism, endorsing things like the October 7th attacks or are associated with foreign terrorist organizations or explicitly pro terror groups. And this is according to his own file. So it's rock solid and over. Of that amount, over 23 million went to at least seven groups that are doing things that meet the FBI's definition of domestic terrorism. Can you, can you. Rioting and things like that. Can you be specific? More specific than this? Absolutely, I'm happy to. So the center for Third World Organizing, for example, is an organization that has a hub that fused together several really extreme organizations. We found $400,000 going to them and they openly boast of the fact that they threw down during the uprisings in Minnesota, obviously referring to the rioting and boasting of how many thousands of people they helped train. A lot of these groups have created what they'll call like a protest guide or an activism toolkit. And it sounds innocuous. Then you open it up and you'll see support for Hamas in it. But then they'll sometimes slyly say, for more information, go to these hyperlinks. And you go to the hyperlinks and there'll be guides recommending things like property destruction, violence, false IDs, how to obstruct justice, all of these things. And they know darn well what they're doing. They don't put that there by accident. Some of the more careful ones will just direct their readership to anarchist websites with all that material, knowing that they'll see it when it's there. And so, yeah, I mean, it's really stunning. And some of these groups are coalitions. So when I say 54 groups, just one of those might have 300 entities in that one. So it's actually. The real number is actually much higher. Let me play something from October 2010 where I was talking about the RICO act and George Soros, Listen to this. This is the ABCs of revolution. This is only A copy of it. I only have a copy of it. I don't have the original yet. They talk about urban guerrilla tactics. The incident. Any. Any area is occupied by revolutionaries. It must be appropriated forthwith according to two incontestable principles, self defense and free distribution of the goods produced. The best way to avoid isolation is to attack. Thus one must, with an eye to the internationalist direction. Remember, workers of the world, unite. Create other nuclei for occupations and appropriations. Strengthen and protect liaison between revolutionary zones. Isolate the enemy and destroy communications. Use commando tactics to harass and rear guard and avoid encirclement by splitting up his forces. Disorganize the counter revolution by rendering its principal leaders and the best strategist harmless. Do you have that one? Disorganized the counter revolution by rendering its principal leaders and the best strategists harmless. How do they do that? Is the left threatening? Is that something that people who are in that position should worry about their lives? Or is that just render them harmless by. Well, let's just see if I can come up with a crazy example here. Some rich dude takes a million dollars and does everything they can to smear and discredit. By the way, George, have you ever heard of the RICO RICO statute? I just. Anyway, Rico, this is 2010, 15 years ago. I was saying George Soros should be grabbed by the RICO act. Donald Trump looks like he's now willing to, to go there. And again we're talking to Ryan Morrow who says he has the, the goods on this. How long have you been working on this, Ryan? Probably about a year. And what got you started on this? Well, I think it started when I released a report breaking down the anti Israel protests that were going on. I saw that that was like manufactured, was like pushing a button. And we identified over 150 pro terrorism groups organizing those protests. There weren't peaceful groups behind it. And so when that report came out, which is very similar to this one, this is almost, almost somewhat of a sequel. One of the radical entities that's Hamas friendly had this to say about the research that we released. So the same would be true of the source report that we're about to release at 1 o'. Clock. It said that these reports we're doing pose an existential threat that could easily mean a quick death for most of the groups by getting their tax exempt statuses ripped away from them. And so those that survive would suffer mass chaos. So they're saying that we have figured out how to beat them if we just get this into the right hands. And so at 1 o'. Clock. This is what we're dropping about George Soros as part of our investigation. And that's why I said on your show earlier, the counteroffensive begins today. It begins at 1 o'. Clock. You know, it was probably 2010 that George Soros number two guy met with my number two guy and they had lunch in a public place because that's what we requested when they said we want to have lunch. And I was not part of it. But it was just the second in command, if you will, meeting with each other and sending messages and, and it started this lunch started with, you need to tell your boss, your boss, me, is hurting my boss, Soros, and it's going to stop. And my guy said, I don't think it is. I mean, if he's getting something wrong, he'd be more than happy to correct it. And he said at the time, your boss needs to understand the ship is already sailed. It's, it's just pulling out of port right now, and you're either on that ship or you're not, and you want to be on that ship. And he said, my boss is going to say he doesn't want to be on that ship. And at the very end of the conversation, he said, I want you to hear me clearly. This is going to stop. We took that as a very large threat. And that is one of the reasons why I did the Puppet Master show on Fox. I did a three day special showing everything about George Soros that we could find at the time. You realize who you're getting into war with, don't you? I do. And I don't care. I, I know I'm supposed to do this. And so that ship that he was talking about, we're going to sink it. And all the other big billionaire funded organizations are out there that are funding this type of filth that are poisoning American civil society and spreading this type of hate that resulted in what we, what happened a week ago. You're on notice if you're doing this by mistake. I will volunteer my time to help you vet the organizations that you finance so you don't fund terrorism and hate if you're genuine. Well, there's not genuine and you continue doing it. You're next looking at, you know, looking at your research. There's, there's a handful of grants that are nuts for things like children, that include ideas of hierarchy, supremacy, colonialism. And to the Alinsky Institute in France, which is honor in honor of Saul Alinsky, if I'm not mistaken. Right that's exactly right. And when you go through the report, you'll see that the organizations that they're funding are so blatantly connected to foreign terrorist organizations, so blatantly extremes, this goes on year after year. So before when there would be reports about this and drips and drabs, I could kind of understand some people saying, well, out thousands of grants, maybe some mistakes are made. This, this is no mistake. We've, we have disproven this. And I keep thinking about how when the Iranian regime allows pro terrorism entities to fundraise on Iranian soil, what do we call that? We call that state sponsorship of terrorism in the United States. When American nonprofits in the nonprofit sector allow pro terror entities to fundraise on American soil, what do we call it? We call it charity. And so that has to come to an end. The IRS code, as we talk about in the report, is being violated. You're not allowed to engage in crime. You're not even allowed to encourage crime. That can't be part of your nonprofit mission. And so these statuses need to be revoked. And just like that, one extremist group said, if we go down that path, we don't even have to get into the hate speech argument. Yeah, we can beat them. We can beat them rapidly. Ryan, thank you so much. I really appreciate your conversation with us. Back on the Charlie Kirk show in a minute.

FBI Director Cash Patel continues facing criticism about how his agency handled the investigation into Charlie Kirk's murder and the release of information surrounding the suspect and other persons of interest. The director faced questions from both Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. Democrat Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey used that opportunity to criticize the work Patel has been doing, even saying that he doesn't believe the director will be on the job much longer. That political face off devolved into this at rant of false information does not bring this country together. If you want to work on bringing this country, it's my time, not yours. My God. My God. You want to talk about fighting this country? It is. I follow you on your social media posts that tear to address your oh, you turn all your division in this country for one sir. You're mocking this committee, sir. You don't tell me my time is over. The people of New Jersey tell me what my time is. You can't lecture me. You can tell me my time is over. You may be the charge. I'm not going anywhere. I am not afraid of you mister. Meantime, Charlie Kirk's accused assassins officially charged with aggravated murder this morning. We did file just recently, within the last few minutes, a notice of intent to seek the death penalty that was filed by Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray. You, your honor, and sign that. Thank you. I have reviewed the pre trial protective order and will be grant issuing this pre trial protective order in favor of erica Kirk. The 22 year old suspect made his first court appearance on Tuesday via video from jail where he was being held. He also is charged with felony discharge of a firearm causing serious injury. Prosecutors point out that children were present at the time of the shooting and that the suspect's DNA was found on the murder weapon. That's a quick check of your headlines. I'm Terrence Bates. This is the Charlie Kirk Show. My name is Glenn Beck. We have something special that we made for Charlie and the staff here at TPUSA coming up in just a minute. I haven't even heard it. My daughter, who is 19 years old, made it with David Osmond last night and she was there about 10ft away from the tent when Charlie was shot. And we'll tell you a little bit about this next hour. Glenn, talk to me about the path forward from here because I think a lot of people right now have that moment where they're so thankful for everything that Charlie had done and appreciated his approach to everything, this open approach, open debate and they want to continue that approach. I do think there's also a lot of people who look at it and say for everything that Charlie tried to do, look at what the price he paid. And we can't just do that anymore. We have to go farther. We have to change this. We have to. There's a righteous anger that people want to, to, to move upon the righteous anger. So the righteous anger that is righteous and right and natural. I mean, it is one of the phases of grief. And we went through the face, the first phase, you know, day one, denial. I mean, we saw the video. I did, unfortunately, I saw the video and I called a surgeon friend of mine right away and I sent him the video and I said, is there any way? And he's like, you know, then no way, no way. And yet for two hours I was on the air with Megyn Kelly and I was saying, well, no, there's a chance, there's a chance. Because I wanted to believe that anger is part of that and we're going to go through it. But I have been so amazed and so proud of our side. I'm going to tell you next hour of a private conversation that I had with Charlie about assassinations. And so far, everybody is handling it exactly the way he would have hoped. And I know it to be true because I talked to him about it. Well, certainly not everybody is handling it the right way. It's funny because I had a conversation with a friend of mine yesterday and we were talking about the reaction to all of this and we kind of said, are you encouraged by what you're seeing or are you despondent? I'm very encouraged. It's fascinating. My instant reaction was despondent because, I don't know, maybe I've tortured myself with too much of the negative reaction. However, talking it out, I think I've changed my mind on it. Look how many people have gone to church for the first time. See, this is the difference. Charlie wasn't just a political guy. Charlie was an evangelical preacher in the end. And he was talking about universal things and things that people are starving for. And look at. Look at the God movement that is happening. He short circuited a lot of stuff. And now God is moving with his people. And I find that extraordinarily optimistic. I think what we have to be careful of is, you know, I worry I'll start to worry about the people of tpusa. I mean, we've already been praying for you, but I'm going to start worrying about you next week and the week after because I've had enough people in my life die once company goes home, then you're left alone with the reality. And that's when that despair or hopelessness can start to play games with you. Don't let it. I mean, there is. I know what Charlie. I'll tell you in a minute. I know what Charlie would have wanted. And what he would have wanted was move forward, keep moving, keep pressing forward, keep staying true to the principles that we have laid out. And that's the only thing I worry about on our side, is if anybody gets angry and somebody's going to do something stupid. And I hope that doesn't happen. I pray that doesn't happen. I don't think it will, quite honestly, but I could be wrong. But if we have real discipline and then constitutional discipline, you know, this hate speech debate, Charlie wouldn't have been for that. Ever, Ever, Ever, ever, ever, ever. No, that he tweeted explicitly about it. There. Hate speech. There is no such thing as hate speech. There is speech. There's uncomfortable speech, there's evil speech, there's bad speech. There's speech you don't like at all. There's speech you would just want to say to somebody, shut up. But there's no such thing as hate speech. There is no legal position for in this country, the only kind of speech that requires protection is the kind of speech that everybody hates. So there is no place for hate speech. And it bothers me, this Pam Bondi movement of going after people with hate speech. No, we don't do that. You have a right to speak. And I will fight to my dying breath for your right to say what you believe. I don't. I don't necessarily agree with you, but it's more important for me to fight for your right of freedom of speech. If I don't agree with you, I don't need to fight for freedom of speech that agrees with me. All right, next hour, a tribute again to Charlie Kirk and so much more. You led the Tea Party movement. No. The US Electric grid is approaching a breaking point. As demand soars from data centers and home energy use, our aging infrastructure can't keep up.

We appreciate you being here with us. You're looking at FBI Director Cash Patel back on Capitol Hill, this time testifying before members of the House Judiciary Committee. During his testimony before Senate lawmakers, the director offered up up an update on where the investigation into Charlie Kirk's assassination stands. Today though, he is back at it, but this time again in front of the House. Let's listen in for a little bit. Also on that day, Desmond Holly, a 16 year old white male, shot and injured two students at a high school in Colorado before killing himself. And according to the Anti Defamation League, he had a fascination with mass shootings and white supremacy. So do you admit to deny these facts? Those happened. Okay. Your predecessor, former FBI Director Christopher Wray, said that one of the most dangerous concerns is that racially motivated violent extremism, especially white supremacists, has been the biggest chunk of our domestic terrorism cases and is responsible for the most lethal attacks over the last decade. Do you, do you admit or deny a that he said this? I'll let the reference reflect that whatever he said was what he said. All right. And do you agree that there is racially motivated crimes being committed in America? Yes. Yes. Especially white supremacists, which is the biggest chunk of our domestic terrorism. I'm glad that you, you said this. So last week President Trump was asked if there were extremists on both the left and the right. He was actually asked this by Fox and Friends and his exact words were, I'll tell you something that's going to get me in trouble. But I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem and they're vicious and they're horrible and they're politically savvy. Do you agree with the President? I don't speak for the President. The President speaks for himself. Do you agree with the President? On what matter? On the question that I just asked. Do you agree with his statement about the radical left that there's ideology that's driving violence on both sides? Yes, that's what he acknowledged. No, he didn't. He didn't. But I'm glad that you're saying that and actually creating some separation between you and the President and I'm glad that you literally not what happened. Acknowledging that there is violent extremism on both sides. So that's just some of the interaction happening right now between FBI Director Cash Patel and House Democrats who are on this panel where he is testifying a much different story from yesterday where Director Patel had a tete a tete with several Democrat senators. In fact, here's just one of those interactions. This one is with California Senator. The American people to believe that. Do you think they're stupid? No, I think the American people believe the truth. That I'm not in the weeds on the everyday movements. What I am doing is protecting this country, providing historic reform and combating the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of you. And we have countlessly proven you to be a liar in Russia in January 6. You are the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States stranded, disgrace to this institution and an utter coward. I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised that you continue to lie from your perch and put on a show so you can go raise money for your charade. You are a political buffoon at best. Amid the political theater happening in Washington D.C. there's other news to report. Charlie Kirk's accused assassin is now officially charged with aggravated murder. We did file just recently, within the last few minutes a notice of intent to seek the death penalty that was filed by Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray. You, your honor. And sign that. Thank you. I have reviewed the pre trial protective order and will be grant issuing this pretrial protective order in favor of Erica.

As you can see here, he's also charged with felony discharge of a firearm, causing serious injury. Plus, prosecutors point out that children were present at the time of the shooting and that the suspect's DNA was found on the murder weapon. Those factors contribute to them seeking the death penalty. That's a quick check of your headlines.

I am filling in for Charlie, and I want to tell you something that Charlie and I spoke about. I have been saying for a while now, because I've been tracking this since really 2004, 2005. I've been tracking this slide into Marxism and communism, socialism, radicalism, and. And I studied revolution all over the world to see how does it happen and play cut353. This is May of 2024. Listen to this. You and I both know, and I. I hate to even address stuff like this, but you and I both know there are those people, and I don't know who they are, and I don't know how many there are, but there are those people that hate Donald Trump so much because they will destroy. Because he will destroy their plans for a new world order. They will. They would at least consider an actual assassination if this doesn't work. And that's terrifying. This is something that I saying for I'll. That we were going to go into a period of assassination. When I talked about assassinating the president or attempted assassination of the president, I was always very hesitant because I just always want to be very, very careful on what you say about a president or a candidate. But I knew they were coming because that's what happened in the 1960s, and everything had been repeated. And. And Charlie and I, on one day, maybe 2018 or 2019, I can't remember, he said, what's coming next? And we were on this balcony in Miami, and it was just the two of us, and we had a really amazing conversation about what our responsibilities were and what we had to look out for. And he said, what is coming next? And I said, charlie, assassinations. And he said, how do you see that? And I said, well, Donald Trump is probably the biggest target. But I don't know. I don't know. I mean, you know, last time in the 60s, it was Malcolm X, it was RFK, and it was MLK, and there were three of them, and with an exception of RFK, they were just. They were people that were, you know, in the arena, if you Will. And so Charlie and I talked about, you know, what do we. What do we do if that starts happening? And that's why I am so happy to see the way people that knew Charlie, love Charlie, worked with Charlie, were part of TP usa, were just fans of Charlie. I think everybody felt like they knew him because he was so personal. But the way everybody is reacting. I wanted to play something that I have not even heard yet myself. This is something that was written by David Osmond because I knew these times were coming. And probably 2018 is when this song was first written for these days and here we are. And last night my daughter Cheyenne, who was about 10ft away from the tent in Utah last week, thank God, she turned her head and turned around because she was hearing people screaming at Charlie and she thought, what are these idiots saying? And she turned around and that's when she said she heard what she thought was a firecracker. And by the time she turned back to look at Charlie, she was pushed to the ground. So she didn't, thank God, see it firsthand. Last night she and David Osmond went into the studio to record this in honor of Charlie Kirk. I know we don't see everything in the same way But I know we won't be really free if we don't stay united Cuz divided we will fall for anything it's true so I have decided I will stand for you and I will I will make a stand I will raise my voice I will hold your hand cause we are one I will beat my drum I have made my choice we will overcome cause we are one. You some say there's no way your way will ever be okay they say the best days are behind so wide and you will find the time times when the best man defend a friend neighbor countryman but now there's nowhere where you can speak your mind But I will, I will make a stand I will raise my voice I will hold your your hand cuz we are one I will beat my drum I have made my choice we will overcome cause we are one May change but truth remains we won't be silence won't be changed Cuz injustice serves anywhere threatens justice everywhere I will make it stand I will raise my voice I will hold your hand cause we are wor I will be my drum I have made my choice we will overcome cuz we are I will make a stand I will raise my voice I will hold your hand cause we are one. I will be my tongue I have made my choice we will overcome cause we are one we are. When that song, I asked David to write that song, I never thought it would be sung by my daughter. For Charlie Kirk. It's amazing how the Lord works. That song is so appropriate for Charlie because that's what he was doing. Standing up for your right to speak, Standing up for your right to be you standing shoulder to shoulder and being united. And I think that's why this is taking America and the world by storm. I think it's why we are uniting with people in South Korea and England and Kentucky and Tennessee and even California and New York. Because there's some basic principles and some basic truths that Charlie stood for. And the Lord is bringing us back to those Back in just a minute.

Thanks so much for being along for the ride. President Trump and the first lady are in United Kingdom right now. They're on the grounds of Windsor Castle as we speak, meeting with King Charles as part of a royal state visit. You can see the handshakes happening here. The President and First lady also will be visiting St. George's Chapel and participating in a wreath laying at the tomb of Queen Elizabeth ii. And then this evening, they'll participate in a state banquet in advance of meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for a bilateral meeting tomorrow. The two leaders are also scheduled to meet with business leaders tomorrow before the Commander in Chief returns to Washington, D.C. also a busy day for Vice President J.D. vance. The Vice president currently is headed to or maybe even on the ground in Michigan. Here's a live look at where he's going to be speaking here. In short order, the vice president is returning to Michigan after having been there just a couple of months ago. He's going to be visiting a precision metal stamping facility there. The Vice president also speaking at Hanch Stamping or Hatch Stamping, excuse me, in Howell, Michigan. That's expected to to happen here in just a little bit. We'll try to take you to his remarks there. And then back in the nation's capital, FBI Director Kash Patel is once again on the hot seat, this time in front of the U.S. house. He is speaking before the House Judiciary Committee after yesterday speaking before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Here's a look at that hearing that is ongoing. Cash Patel, of course, facing a number of questions about the ongoing investigation into Charlie Kirk's murder. Also having to answer questions about the inner workings of his, of his department, the FBI. Let's listen to see what he's saying for about 20 seconds. Can you point to in disrupting nation state actors? Our biggest threats involving nation state actors are the PRC, Russia and China and they are up 33%, 83% and 60% percent respectively in arrest alone this year. Those nation state actors wish to do harm in our infrastructure, our critical infrastructure system, our energy, our water supply, and also go after and target individuals and senior citizens and take their money through online pig butchering schemes which we've exposed in Cambodia by way of the ccp. This is groundbreaking work that the American public should be seeing. This is the Charlie Kirk Show. Hello, my name is Glenn Beck. It has been an exhausting day. We got here about 4:30 in the morning to do my national radio program. I have had bomb threats before, we've had death threats before, but I've never actually had to shut down my national radio show and evacuate the studio during a bomb threat that was happened I don't even know two hours ago. We're now filling in for Charlie Kirk and I'm going to see Erica here for the first time. And I don't know, I mean, that might not be good for her to see me because I'm going to be a soppy mess I've had. You're surely going to embarrass yourself. I am, but my wife and I. My wife is just obsessed. She can't stop watching the kids and everything and just she's. I can't watch it. I can't watch it. I'm having a hard time looking over in this corner because Erica did her speech right there last week. Anyway, Anna Paulina Luna is here. Hello, Anna, how are you? Hi, Glenn. You were a dear, dear friend of Charlie Kirk's. How are you holding up? I don't think anyone can ever anticipate something like this happening. But what I can tell you is Charlie would not want us to throw in the towel. And so I know that right now everyone in the country, for good reason, is still kind of grappling at what happened. But what I am happy to see is the overwhelming support not just in voter registration, but the amount of young people, especially over 30,000 requests for college campuses. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't, don't diminish that. It's now 56,000 chapters that have been requested to be open, not new members. 56,000 chapters, that's remarkable. It is. And I know that in the end, no matter what, Charlie really did win. Because even half of that number would make an incredible difference on these college campuses. And just a little bit, I guess, Glenn, of how I initially found Turning Point, this was a little quantum breadcrumb, right? Like everyone, at some point in your life, you're going to see these little kind of God winks that will pop up and let you know that you're on your right path. But I remember being in my finals week when I was getting ready to graduate from college at University of West Florida, and I saw these two girls and they were tabling and they had these pins that said big government sucks. And I remember going into the library and grabbing this pin. I was like, you know, that's pretty cool. I didn't even think, you know, that later on fast forward, you know, a year later that I'd be working with Charlie in that turning point. But what I will tell you is that, you know, a lot of people, there needs to be action outside of the legislative and the federal branch. And, and you know, what we're finding is that what Charlie was fighting, this indoctrination that was taking place on college campuses. These weren't just liberal professors from the 60s that had been radicalized. This is actually a foreign government funded operation. And a lot of these left wing organizations that have been pushing these violent riots, the targeted campaigns, a lot of the people that have associations with these groups that are calling for assassinations of the president, of conservative commentators and even of, you know, Charlie's family are tied to these organizations. And I guess what I'd like to share today is so you know, Glenn, that we were on the show talking about Neville Singham, how he was the party of socialism and liberation Code people, a lot of the stuff comer signed on a letter to the US treasury to freeze all of his assets. And I just met with Judge Jeanine and he's guilty of a far violation. I think the Department of Justice is going to be charging him with that. So, you know, miracle of Charlie. Miracle of miracles. Yeah, I, you know, we were just talking about this new George Soros information that Ryan Morrow has just released. Is it one o' clock Eastern yet? And, and it, I mean, you're going to be able to get George Soros on RICO charges. Something I've been asking for, for 15 years. And it's, it's happening. I think, you know, there's just no better name to name Charlie's movie than Turning Point. I mean, we are truly at a turning point. And I couldn't be happier I'm glad that everyone is doing what needs to be done because Charlie ultimately was a freedom fighter and everything that he was doing, you know, the GOP failed to recognize and he was able to transcend politics but then also to able to share his message. And so yes, it's been extremely hard. It's been even harder to see some of the commentary coming out of people that I have to walk by every single day up here on the Hill and not knowing him and then continuing this rhetoric. But what I will tell you is a lot of them know the truth and that he was not what they painted him out to be. And I am happy that he has the team in place that's standing with Turning Point because I know that this organization is going to continue not just for voter engagement and youth engagement, but to really help fight back. And I think that there are a lot of very powerful people now that are listening to what needs to be done. And this is the change that we needed. Anna Paulina Luna, thank you so much. You know, the one thing that's come to me in prayer several times is these are not enemies of yours, Glenn. These are not enemies of yours. These are enemies of mine. And he will deal with them. We just have to do the next right thing and stand exactly where he asks us to stand. Anna Paulina Luna, thank you so much. More with the Charlie Kirk show and Mike Lee next.

Thanks so much for being here with us. It is a busy day for top Trump administration officials. The President himself is overseas. He's in England as part of a Royal state meeting there. It's a royal state visit. He's meeting with King Charles as we speak. Okay, so there's the video right there. The President and First lady both on hand for that. As For Vice President J.D. vance, he is back home preparing to speak to this crowd in Howell, Michigan. It's a crowd that has come to a precision a precision metal stamping facility there in Howell. The White House saying that the Vice President will deliver remarks on President Trump's U.S. cuts and tax cuts for working class families and businesses. As you can see, it is a packed house as this crowd is waiting for the Vice President to arrive. And then back at the Capitol on more fireworks happening there. FBI Director Cash Patel is speaking before the House Judiciary Committee. Of course, yesterday he spoke before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Let's listen into this interaction between Congressman Hunt of Texas and the FBI director. Online platforms, there are too many social media platforms, there are too many gaming platforms, there are too many places for people from America and around the world to get together without their parents knowing anything about it, without their school teachers knowing anything about it. And infection infesting the minds of our children and infecting them with radical ideology and with. That is the root cause of these, these problems. And we must tackle it. It is not a 1950s America anymore. In 2025, the cyberspace needs to be tackled. Thank you. Switching gears, when your predecessor sat right there in that seat a couple of years last year in a committee hearing, I asked him a very detailed question about Matthew Thomas Crooks, the shooter responsible for the assassination attempt on President Trump's life. I did get an answer from Chris Ray the that day. And I submitted written questions to the FBI and into the record of this committee. And I want to resubmit those questions today because I think we are still awaiting answers to those questions. So, Mr. Chairman, I'd like to submit some for the record, please. So that's just some of the testimony from Cash Patel, the FBI director, before the House Judiciary Committee. We'll continue to cover it for you. This is the Charlie Kirk Show. My name is Glenn Beck. We have Mike Lee, the senator from Utah, on. Mike is a dear, dear friend and I know is a dear friend of Charlie's and is one of the strongest constitutionalists in our our Senate and the man that I hope someday will be appointed as Supreme Court Justice. Welcome, Mike. How are you? Thank you, Glenn. It's good to be with you, as always. Can I talk to you just about Utah here for a second? I mean, if this is happening in Utah, this is everywhere. It is. It's shocking to me that it came from Utah, although maybe not so much seeing the response of UVU and the President of uvu. Do you have any comments on that? All of this is shocking. The events of last week are still echoing through our minds. Many of us, stunning that it happens, stunning that the killer was from Utah. There are things within Utah that don't make sense right now. There are. I think one could say that Utah is fairly mismatched in several respects. It's mismatched with its own media institutions, which being overwhelmingly, radically left. It's mismatched with a lot of elements within its educational system, primary and secondary and higher education, where you've Got a very conservative populace on the whole. Of course, there are exceptions everywhere. But these institutions in education and in the media stand in stark contrast. It's almost like we've got the media of Mother Jones in a state that's much more in line with National Review or Fox News or something else like that. And so that really is creating some turmoil within the state and some disagreements and cognitive dissonance at times on the part of the left, which still refuses to acknowledge some of the problems that we're facing. And it's deeply concerning. Mike, let me switch. And one of the reasons why I'm so glad that you are in the Senate and beg you to stay every time election comes up, please, Mike, please run again is I am afraid that, and I'm already seeing signs of it, that there are those that like big government who are also conservative or say they are conservative, but they're big government. And I'm so afraid of a Patriot act coming out of this. And there was something put up on change. What is it? Change.org and I read through it. It was about a new Smith Mundt Act. And it was honestly, it was terrifying the way it was written and got a lot of likes. A lot of people are saying, yeah, that's what we got to do. And the Smith. Can you explain the Smith Mundt act on what it, what it did? It actually stems back from World War I and World War II, but what it was keeping at bay and then why it was repealed in 2011. It's interesting how this has unfolded during the Cold War era in particular. As you point out, this all started in World War I. I think it grew to much bigger size during World War II and in the aftermath of the Cold War. But the US established a fairly sophisticated propaganda system for use overseas or use in other countries to deliver the messages we wanted. Consistent with the Smith Mund act, among other things, prohibited the U.S. government from using that same propaganda machine for domestic political propaganda. In other words, buy for us to use this in our foreign adversary nations or direct it to them. Don't use it on our own citizens because the big government already does enough to influence what we do. It tells us what we do are supposed to do at every turn. We don't also need our government telling us what to think. So that's why Smith Munk was adopted. I think it's a. Hang on. I think it's really important before you move on to the repeal. I think it's really important. That happened in 1946, but it really stems from World War I. The I want you poster was not Smith. I mean, not a Creel creation. However, the Creel operatives, they were the ones in the government that put that in every post office and every, you know, every theater everywhere. They did all these kinds of things to get Americans hyped into World War I. When World War I ended, they felt betrayed by their own government. They were like, you lied to us about all of this stuff. Stuff. And they realized propaganda was being used. That's why we were so isolationist up until 1941 when they brought it home to us. And we were very isolationist because we felt our government lied to us because of this propaganda. So as we're turning on propaganda overseas for the Russians and the Voice of America, the Democrats were the ones who led this said, you cannot use any of this propaganda on the American. We signed it in. And then 2011. What happened? Well, as part of the Defense Authorization act during the Obama administration, the Senate, this piece in there didn't get much attention at the time. I voted against it, of course, but undid it. Nobody really offered much of it defense as to why it needed to happen. And they hoped that it would go through largely unseen, largely undiscussed. And it did. And it's time to bring it back. It's time to bring back the Prohibition. Look, there's. There's no good reason in a free society like ours for our government to be manipulating its own people. And that's why I've introduced a bill to bring back this prohibition in Smith Mundt. And in honor of our friend who lost his life a week ago, I'm naming it the Charlie Kirk Act. Charlie was a big fan of limited government, was a deep skeptic of the brooding, omnipresent government that we often face today, and would have been thrilled to be honored by a measure to bring back Smith Mundt bearing his name. And we've gotta get this passed. Yeah, this is so important. I mean, you saw it firsthand. If you were, you know, if you were alive during COVID you know, the propaganda that was. Was done by our government in league with big pharmaceuticals and the media, that was all propaganda. And they could get away with it because the Smith Munk DAC was. Had been repealed. All of the stuff that you have gone through with propaganda, where they are setting up, you know, truth squads where the government will say what's true and what's not, all of that happened because of the repeal of this act in 2011. You want to stop it, you have to put that back in. And he is calling it the Charlie Kirk Act. And when did you introduce. Or when will you introduce this? We introduced it this week. I believe it was yesterday that it was formally introduced. May have been the day before, but it's time for it to happen. Look, I have yet to hear a really good effective defense of the repeal of Smith mundt. Not in 2012, when it was passed as part of the, of the National Defense Authorization act for, for fiscal year 2013 and not since then. People are actually afraid to defend it. And they're afraid with good reason. The American people don't take kindly to that. The American people don't take kindly to their overly paternalistic sort of dark overlord government trying to tell them what to think. Trying to tell them, here's the official position of the United States government. We're not actually going to tell you that that's what's doing it. We're just going to use the same techniques that we use overseas to try to get what we want in other countries on American voters. That's wrong. Because you're taking money from the American people, you're spending it to tell them what to think and therefore how to vote. And that's wrong. And I really don't think there are very many Americans, I suspect this one would poll overwhelmingly in favor of restoring the prohibitions of Smithmont. And that's what we've got to do. It's amazing because I've been so concerned that, that we'll go the wrong direction. We'll do another Patriot act, and this one is in the right direction. And it actually handcuffs our government, puts the chains back on the government, which is exactly the opposite of what happened last time with the Patriot Act. We unleash the government. And this is such a good sign that this is coming. How many sponsors do you have for it, Mike? You know, I'm not sure on that. I should know that and I don't. But we're gathering sponsors still. We can use all the sponsors we can get. And so if you're listening today and you're not sure whether your senator supports it, ask him or her to get behind it. And to co sponsor the Charlie Kirk act, heaven knows we need it. Where do we go from here, Mike? What do you see in the cards as far as where we go from here with this particular bill? We've just got to continue to send a message that if we learned anything from COVID if we learned anything from who knows how many other incidents, how many other episodes or seasons when the government got too involved in telling us things that turned out to be true, turned out to be very untrue, and turned out to be manipulative. The more we can get that message out and just remind people of the fact that governments are there to do some very simple tasks to protect life, liberty and property. This government in particular is there to provide for our national defense and performed a handful of other tasks identified in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. Happy Constitution Day, by the way. The more we can get people focused on that, the greater our chances are going to be to get this thing done. As far as where we go from here more broadly, I do think this is a great opportunity for Americans to refocus on the fact that our government and what it does could never be something that's big enough, that's a significant enough part of people's lives to where they define themselves and their significance in this life. According to what does. Even to the point where people feel compelled to murder someone who doesn't share their political worldview simply because other people happen to be listening to that person. Part of what was so tragic about this event is it was apparent a week ago Charlie Kirk wasn't taken down because the shooter didn't like, I don't know, his choice of apparel or what he likes to eat. It was based on his political views. That should, by itself be a signal to us that something's gone terribly wrong. This government has gotten way too big, it's gotten way too prominent, and we need to bring it back, and it's a good way of wrapping it back into Constitution Day. When we celebrate Constitution Day, we have to remember that the whole point of the Constitution is to restrain government. Laws typically restrain individuals. The Constitution's whole purpose is to restrain government. Every provision in it is there as a restraint on government, and we need to accept it as such. Senator Mike Lee from the great state of Utah. Thank you so much for talking to me, Mike. I appreciate it. Next, I'm going to talk to one of the leaders of tpusa. Where do we go from here?

In fact, it looks like the Vice President just stepping Is that him? Yeah. It looks like the vice President just stepping up on the podium right now. So let's listen in. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Please, please. Thank you all. Well, it's great to be here in the great state of Michigan. I always loved coming to Michigan on the campaign trail. And I'd always said, you know, the. The most dangerous place maybe this Ohio state grad visited was Michigan on the campaign trail. But you all were always kind and friendly and good to me. We love you, too. Thank you, sir. It's good to see you again, man. I'm not gonna do that here. Somebody yelled out, oh, I'm not doing that here. Don't insult your hosts is the basic thing that I learned in politics. Let me just say a few things, a few words of gratitude. First of all, you guys are lucky to have a great congressman who fights for working people in the state of Michigan. Tom Barrett, where are you? Tom, thank you so much for what you do. We talk a lot about the working families tax cuts. We talk about no taxes on overtime, which we are proud to deliver. No taxes on tips, which we are proud to deliver. The lowest taxes that we've had in this country in a very long time because Tom Barrett went to Washington and fought for the people of this district. Thank you so much, Tom, for everything that you do. I want to thank, of course, the leadership of this great American manufacturer. Hatch was founded in 1952 by two brothers. Where are we at here? Where's the leadership of Hatch at? Thank you, guys. Stand up. Come on. Let's give him a round of applause. Welcome to the the Charlie Kirk Program. My name is Glenn Beck. It has been a true honor to fill in for Charlie today. And we're going to be kind of hanging around for a few days until. Till Sunday. But the feeling here is godly. Very godly. Tyler Boyer's with us. He is the CEO, COO of Turning Point Action. We just played a clip of Charlie and I talking right after the election last time, and I've talked to people who said what you guys have planned for the midterms and even looking forward to 2028 is awesome. Going to make it look like child's play. What happened last time. Are you concerned at all? You know, Glenn, thank you for that. I mean, obviously this has been a lot to process this whole last week. I'm the CEO because Charlie's the CEO. So losing the head of the household here has been tough, I think, for all of us. But. But the beautiful part about what we've Done. And we've been doing is we've been putting our pen to paper this entire time, really focused on what the plan is. Like you mentioned, focused on 2028 and working our way backwards from that, looking at 2032 and working our way backwards. And when you do it, when you take that process, I mean, that's the way that the left does it. When you take that process, you can actually formulate a plan pretty quickly. And that's what we've done with our Chase the Vote initiative. You know, the really great thing is Charlie was not a guy you weren't joining because you were a fan of him. I mean, he was teaching principles. So the base is principle based. That's right. And that's really a healthy thing. Yeah, I mean, this is. That's at the core of the elections. 2028 in particular is really focused on the grassroots. Our number one culture point that we have at Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action is what we call grassroots humility. If you focus on the grassroots, then you get candidates that the grassroots wants to work for, and then therefore, it kind of builds the program for you. And that's really the beauty of Turning Point. And we, where we felt like we had to step up really coming out of the 2022 election when we realized that, you know, everybody was not being honest at the. What I call the Republican establishment. The. The core at the, you know, I like to call them the evil empire. The. The national Republican apparatus. Yeah, the evil empire or whatever you want to call them. But the apparatus itself was kind of lying to people and saying, hey, we've got this handle, we've got this handle. We can do this, we can do this. Red wave, red wave. And they didn't show up with anybody. And so we knew. And this is the beauty of. Of Charlie. And what we. We had done was we had seen the culmination of. Of how many people kind of became disciples at Turning Point Point. And we knew that we could take that and we had to take that talent and convert it into action. And so that's what really built the C4 plan heading into 2024. You know, it's really interesting thinking about the coverage leading up to the election. Turning Point, I think, was really put on the line by the coverage. And I think this was intentional. There was a big belief that if Trump lost, if this didn't turn out the right way, there was someone to point blame at, and it was you and Charlie. It was a turning point. That was. That was the big setup beforehand. Oh, well, you're gonna put Charlie Kirk ahead of your turnout operation. I mean, was there a moment where you were like, this is really a, a moment that's going to make or break not only the country, but also this organization? The beautiful part about being right next to Charlie Kirk for as many years as I've been is that it's a pressure cooker unlike anything else, even with the small stuff in the early days, is that we live for this pressure. I mean, that's, at the end of the day, that's. You talk about Super Bowls, the Super Bowls, that's what you have to, you know, that's what you want, you want the coverage, you want to invite in all of that. So I think the real beauty in the story from this last election cycle, and I'm so glad everything worked out the way it did, you know, not knowing at the time that it was going to be the last time that we would, you know, run a race together, right. Like do, do the work. Because that, that wasn't the plan. That was never the, the anticipated outcome here. But, but looking back, it's now it's been really hard thinking about all this last week was this is, I value that. And those, those individual experiences where it was tough, where people did put all that pressure on us. I wouldn't have it any other way. I really would not have it any other way at all because, excuse me, because had it not been positioned that way, I don't know if the celebration of what we were able to accomplish for this last election would feel the same and what that would lead into for this next election cycle in the future now what the legacy of Charlie Kirk will be. And so that's what we have to live up to. That's what we have to do. We are your friends because we're your friends, but we also believe in your mission and we know what you guys are doing. We are here for you at any time, anything you need. Thank you very much, Glenn. I appreciate that. Thank you a lot. And we love everybody at Turning Point.

“What I would have said to Charlie was, you were thinking too small…Charlie was a broadcaster and a narrowcaster. Charlie was a pastor and a priest... He surpassed Rush Limbaugh by miles.” – Glenn Beck (29:45)
“He understood that there are so many forces in our world and our politics that are ripping everybody apart. ...God had put him in a position that he could keep people together.” – Andrew Colvett (32:30)
“Look how many people have gone to church for the first time. Charlie wasn’t just a political guy. Charlie was an evangelical preacher in the end.” – Glenn Beck (1:14:05)
“This is no mistake. …We have disproven this.” – Ryan Morrow on Soros funding (1:09:50)
“It is time to bring back the prohibition. …In honor of our friend who lost his life… I’m naming it the Charlie Kirk Act.” – Senator Mike Lee (2:03:35)
“If you focus on the grassroots, then you get candidates that the grassroots wants to work for, and then, therefore, it kind of builds the program for you. And that’s really the beauty of Turning Point.” – Tyler Boyer (2:25:10)
“We are one. …I will make a stand. I will raise my voice. I will hold your hand. ‘Cause we are one.” – "We Are One", Song Tribute by Cheyenne Beck & David Osmond (1:23:45)

Glenn Beck and an array of contributors present Charlie Kirk as more than a political commentator: a visionary youth leader, unifier, and defender of open discourse and constitutional principles. The episode balances grief and tribute with a determined call to move forward—committing to Kirk’s ideals of unity, free speech, and sustaining the conservative grassroots movement.
For listeners, this episode delivers not only a remembrance but also a strategic call to carry onward, defend foundational values, and ensure Kirk’s legacy as both a spiritual and political torchbearer endures.
