Why?

Victor Davis Hanson (3:26)

And I think there was a lot of factors. One is we have 50 million people who were not born in the United States. And so when you look at a lot of the signature candidates or politicos in the Democratic Party, whether it's the squad, Ilya and Omar or Mandami, the second, first and second generation, they were not receptive to the idea of civic education or we didn't offer it to them. So assimilation, integration may have taken place on a personal level, but it surely didn't in an Americanization. And so we brought a lot of people into the country and yet when they set foot here, most of them were from the former third world. Their attitude was the left offers me all sorts of benefits, free this scholarship, student loans, DEI preference, affirmative action. And the right is more entrepreneurial. So you see a breakdown of a lot of immigrants who are entrepreneurial. Electricians, plumbers are voting Republican. But the elite, that has had a very powerful effect on, on the, on the Democratic Party, the elite, first and second generation immigrant, especially on matters of Israel or dei. The second thing very quickly is they, the universities are not liberal biased anymore. They're socialist bilas. And they have trained the elite of the Democratic Party. Third, globalization favored a bicoastal elite that had global skills, media, law, height, tech, corporate boardroom, and disadvantaged people in the interior, you know, that were natural resource extraction, farming, mining, timber, assembly, things like that, muscular labor. And there was a vocabulary that you know, as we've talked about, irredeemables, deplorables, clingers, dregs, chumps. I think Biden's latest was garbage. And that kind of became a credo of the Democratic Party. We're the professional classes and we're smarter because we got really wealthy out of globalization. And now we can concentrate on utopian agendas like transgenderism or New Green Deal. But they lost Touch, in other words, with the old lunch bucket middle class of the Democratic Party. So if you look at 92 and 96 Clinton convention agendas, they were paranoid about drifting too far, at least rhetorically, from the middle class. They were for closed borders, they were for unions, they were for tough police racing, etc. They were for trying juveniles as adults in some cases. So that was it. And then finally, Charlie, if you look at the fertility rates of red and the top red state, the top 10 fertile states going up to 2.1 to 1.8 are all red. And the bottom from 1.5 all the way to 1.3 are all blue. And you've got about a 4 million person exodus in addition. So there's a sense in the Democratic Party that they're paranoid or that their model of a blue state, professional, especially women who maybe have one or no children and they want to concentrate, as AOC said, on things like global warming rather than child raising and traditional families, that has an influence as well. And you can see that with the demonstrations. The type of person who goes to those anti ice radical demonstrations tend to be single women or professional women especially. They're overrepresented, all of those. Add it all up and I think it's a different Democratic Party and it'll have to have a McGovern like disaster before it wakes up.

Charlie Kirk (7:20)

So let's zero in on that, Mr. Hanson. And again, the book is the End of Everything. It's incredible. How are you thinking about Mamdani? Mamdani wrote an op ed, kind of some of the news today. The elements of my platform are all about affordability. I'm a democratic socialist. When New Yorkers ask me what it means, I take the words of Martin Luther King who says, call it democracy, call it democratic socialism, there must be a better distribution of wealth for all God's children in this country. How are you thinking about Mamdani? He's likely to be the next mayor of our largest city. And so while you're contesting that the Democrat Party doesn't really exist. They're about the very insurgent wing is about to conquer America's largest city. How are you thinking about it? And what is the major takeaway here, Victor Davis Hansen?

Victor Davis Hanson (8:01)

Yeah, well, I think he's going to win, but he's going to win on about the basis of somewhere between 11 and 15% of the resident population. Voting for mayor is not like for president. So you're not going to get a big turnout. And they're going to split the vote three Ways. And the vote between Cordisilwa and Eric Adams and Cuomo together is going to probably be about 50%. So I don't know if that's accurate. The other thing is that New York is a little different. About 30 or 40% of the population is on rent control and probably over a million people are either working for city or state government in New York or they're working for kind of affiliated NGOs that have government contracts. So it's not representative of the United States as a whole. But you make a good point when you would say, well Victor, wait a minute, they elected Giuliani and they elected Bloomberg and these people were moderates or conservatives in some sense. So why did they change to this? And I think it's this idea that this professional class that I talked about, especially single metrosexuals urban people, they're highly educated and they feel that for a variety of reasons they are not getting the type of deference or advantages that they feel that their superior morality and intellectual ability and education and degrees warrant. So it's basically an appeal to the upper white professional class and the subsidized poor. But I don't think it's representative of America in general. But it surely is. Go ahead.

Charlie Kirk (9:59)

I love that. So then I want to extrapolate how we might. This is my thesis and I believe you agree we might see more Mamdanis if we do not create a culture of ownership and how small, how private property ownership. Owning land is the greatest deterrent from Mamdanism and Marxism. If that were to spread, it would only spread because we have a nation of renters and not owners. If you guys have private student loan debt, this is the best way out. They are phenomenal supporters of our Student action Summit, America Fest, our campus tours. Many clients are not able to make the minimum monthly payment on their private student loans when they first contact Yrefi. If you go to yrefi.com, you can read testimonies from other people who have been where you are and how they've successfully escaped. Do you have a co borrower? Why? Refi can get them released from the loan. You can give mom or dad a break. Go to yrefi.com youm can even skip a payment every six months up to 12 times without penalty. You don't have to ignore that mountain of student loan statements on your kitchen table anymore. Call 888yrefi34 or go to yrefi.com that is yrefy.com may not be available in all 50 states. So go to yrefi.com if you have distressed or defaulted private student loans, they can get you out of debt. So if you know anybody in your life that might have student loan problems, private student loan problems, check it out right now@yrefi.com that is yrefy.com can you pick up on what I was saying? Author of End of Everything on we need a society of owners, not just renters, which I believe is one of the reasons why if Mamdani ism were to become a spreading virus, it would be because of that. Victor Davis Hanson, please.

Victor Davis Hanson (11:44)

Yeah, I wrote a book about that called the Other Greeks that the origins of western culture occurred around 700 B.C. when all of a sudden there were radical changes in land ownership, population increases and a rise of a small but predominant agrarian class. 10 acre farmers and same thing when this country was founded, 90% of people were agrarian. And that was the idea that Jefferson said when people are piled up in this, in the cities and they don't own property, then it's not going to work because it depends on an autonomous self reliant person to take on the responsibilities of consensual government. So I agree with that. And problem is Charlie, is that you look at home ownership and across administrations and decades it's still stagnated around 60, 62%. 60%. It's about the same percentage as the labor participation rate. And I don't know, part of it is the rise of the welfare social state that creates laxity and dependency. But the other problem is the interest rates have been too high and the regulations have been too steep. So here in California, you know, the average small, I don't know, 1800 square foot home is a million dollars and the interest rates are 7%. So to degree people are buying houses or have houses, they're inheriting either the house, second home or their house from their parents or they're inheriting the capital or they're being lent the capital from their parents who were from a different generation where it was much easier to buy a home. So you're right that the Republicans have to address that. And it's taken the Republicans very quickly a little while to adjust that. They're a populist nationalist middle class party because if you listen to what Mitt Romney was saying or John McCain or the Bushes, it was always let's lower the capital gains rate or let's privatize Social Security or let's deregulate. There was some logic to it but it ignored the idea that the middle class is the largest group in America and you can win elections if you have free market solutions to the inability to buy homes.

Charlie Kirk (14:05)

So about one minute remaining here. Just really quick. I had a conversation recently with a hedge fund type. He said, but Charlie, owning is a failed and is an old concept. He didn't say failed, an older concept. It's very inefficient. Renting is much better and you can maximize your returns. What would that mean for us politically as a country, as a polis? Forget the economics of it. But if you just become a society of renters, what does that do to a people?

Victor Davis Hanson (14:31)

About Victor Davis Hanson it makes people dependent on a landlord, so they don't know when they're going to be there. And if the window breaks, they don't feel like they're going to fix it. They're not going to paint the interior. It doesn't require any self discipline or reliance or independence. You own your home, nobody can take it away from you. And you can, you can, you can say, I want to fix it up, improve it, and I want to pass it on to my children. And then that creates a larger idea that you fix things and you take care of them and you're a custodian. But when you're a renter mentality, it's like somebody will take care of it. I'm not going to worry about it. I don't really worry about taxes. I don't worry about interest rates. I don't worry about anything. All I do is get mad at my landlord because he increases the rent and I don't know why he does. That's right, because I don't pay taxes.

Charlie Kirk (15:19)

I ask people all the time, when's the last time you washed a rental car? Not usually. You return it pretty dirty because someone else is going to take responsibility for it. Check out Victor Davis Hansen's book, the End of Everything. How would you answer the question what is an American?

Victor Davis Hanson (15:36)

VICTOR DAVIS Hansen it's somebody who accepts the general principles of the Constitution and consensual government. Second, it's somebody who empirically, not just by blind obedience or doctrine, believes that the United States is singular and better than the alternative. I think that's very important. And third, it's somebody, because we're the only real, successful multiracial democracy in history, who believes their superficial appearance or their ethnic, racial background, religious is incidental to who they are. That's not essential. What's essential is they're an American that transcends race and religion and Gender, sexual orientation. But if you don't do that, then you're gonna end up like these large democracies that are multiracial, multi ethnic, that don't work like Brazil or India, where you have caste systems and racial tensions and racial essentialism.

Charlie Kirk (16:33)

Yeah, and that's what, that's the reason I asked the question is that you have people like Mamdani or Omar Fattah or Ilhan Omar that do not share our values, that do not share our worldview. And so many of our traditions are Anglo at its core. And so I think we need to just graduate above this idea that just because you have your paperwork organized, you are an American and you need to have your full, your full spirit bought in, your thumos bought into the nation, the allegiance. Victor Davis Hanson.

Victor Davis Hanson (17:06)

Well, we can do that because we take in more immigrants, legal and illegal, until recently illegal, than all the countries put together. So we can be a lot more selective. And I think the Trump administration is just starting to see that, that we can ask people, are you acquainted with the English language? Are you acquainted with the Constitution? Do you want to be an American? But because of the nature of immigration, it's bizarre, Charlie, because it's mostly coming from Asia, Africa and Latin America. So when a person sets one inch across the border, the left greets them and saying, you're a victim. You don't know it yet, but you're not a Anglo Saxon or white or whatever they tell them. And you have grievances that are legitimate against this major culture. And we're here to give you a subsidized loan. We're here to give you affirmative action. We're going to be here. You'll go to a separate graduation, a separate dorm when we get you into and that. And you're going to be angry at this country and it's going to be very lucrative for you. It's going to be very advantageous versus the melting pot, integration, assimilation.

Charlie Kirk (18:08)

In closing here, I want to have an opportunity for you to talk about your book, the End of Everything. And I'd love to hear your take on the Peloponnesian War and what did that do to Athenian democracy? So tell us about your book and tell us about the Peloponnesian War and its impact on Athenian democracy.

Victor Davis Hanson (18:24)

Well, I looked at four societies in history. Ancient Thebes, the Aztecs, Carthage and Constantinople. Why were they destroyed? Most wars do not lead to utter destruction. The culture, the language, everything vanishes. And it's because they're not. They have an unrealistic view of their robustness. They're in decline. They don't recognize it. They don't recognize that people really do want to destroy them. And they don't realize they have the ability to destroy them. Destroy them. So this happens in history, and it's relevant to the present because we keep dismissing bio nerve gas, AI, atomic weapons, but it doesn't mean we've gone to the end of history. This can happen again if we're naive. And so that was one of the reasons I wrote it. In the epilogue, I listed all of the existential threats made by North Korea, China, Turkey, Russia, to destroy not just the army of the enemy, but to wipe out a whole civilization. So it's not unusual that it can't. I mean, it's going to happen again somewhere. And I was just trying to give the reader a description how it happened in the past and could that happen in the future. And I think it could, especially as we see in Ukraine, when Donald Trump said to Zelensky, you're. You're on the bridge of nuclear war. What he was saying is, fair or not, when you attack Russia and you have no nuclear weapons and they have nuclear weapons and you're. And they may be humiliated, be careful what happens. He didn't mean to say that you shouldn't do it. He was just trying to apprise them that we've never done this in the Cold War. In the Cold War, the proxy war did not involve the. The two rivals on the doorstep of one threatening. And when Cuba was armed by the Soviet Union pointing missiles at us, we said, no, we're not going to do that. You broke the rules. So we got to be careful. I mean, we all resent what Russia do, and I oppose it. I support Ukraine, but we are. The west is having a proxy to hurt Russia rather. And that's what was unique about Trump when he said he's the only person talking about a million to a million and a half wounded, dead, missing. No one else talks about it. He does. As a humanitarian. Stalingrad.

Charlie Kirk (20:40)

He has more of a moral compass than almost any president, I think, in the last 100 years. He cares about people that are not even his own, and he's willing to try to solve wars that have an immediate impact in the United States. Victor Davis Hansen, thank you so much for the time, the end of everything.

Victor Davis Hanson (20:54)

Thank you.

Charlie Kirk (20:55)

How wars descend into annihilation. Thank you. God bless you. TikTok has helped US businesses contribute over $24 billion for the US economy. That's real money flowing into small businesses like Arizona Taco King, who went viral on TikTok and hit $1.3 million in sales in their first year. Now they're hiring more staff to keep up. Or Bluff Cakes, who started as a home baking side hustle and became a national cookie brand. Or the she Mechanic, whose business tripled in just the year with help from TikTok. Now she's in a bigger space with a bigger team. TikTok is helping small businesses thrive, and now that's adding up to more jobs, more growth, and over $24 billion flowing into the US economy. Learn more about TikTok's contribution to the US economy at TikTok economic impact.com that is TikTok economicimpact.com so I was the first one to do this sort of thing where you sit in a ring and it's a show called Jubilee. This was a year ago. Can you believe it, Andrew? A year ago in Jubilee, it was the shot heard around the world, seen hundreds of millions of times. I think it's probably over a billion views if you count all the clips. It was, it was the marker right into our campus tour. And now it's kind of become a rite of passage where a lot, almost everywhere on the right and on the left, they go through this Jubilee thing and it's Internet shock debating. Saw this clip of a young man take on this very nasty, condescending liberal woman by the name of Amanda Seals. And it was a black conservative. It was, I think it was like 20 black conservatives and a singular black liberal. I think that was the premise. And, boy, it was just beautiful to witness. And the young man did a great job of deconstructing her arguments, of not taking the bait, of rejecting the premise. And it takes a lot of talent and skill and bringing the facts. It is Matt Nuclear who debated on Jubilee. You can find him on X at MacNuclear 60466. We got to get him a better handle, but we'll work on that. Matt Nuclear, welcome to the program. Matt. Thank you for the time. And Matt, congratulations. That was a big moment for you. Introduce yourself to the audience. Great to meet you.

Matt Nuclear (22:48)

Great to meet you as well. Charlie Kirk. I am very honored to be here. So I've been debating since I was 15 years old. I started debating on smaller platforms until recently when I've been doing TikTok live debates, talking about Palestine conflict, talking about domestic policy and Trump and Harris and all of those sorts of different things. And I was invited on Jubilee to debate a liberal, although she turned out to Be a radical. That's what she called herself later on. And yeah, she was very nasty. She was very condescending. But I really did enjoy the debate. And this is what I like to do, debate. People read and learn facts. And I'm 18 years old.

Charlie Kirk (23:24)

Well, that's awesome. Let's play a little bit of your master class. Now. This is just as. This is very good. As someone who does this for a living, I told my team, I said, get them on the program. You know, it's kind of funny. I'm kind of like a talent scout because, you know, I do this profession, I do this, you know, hundreds of hours a year. And so I know what, I know what's hard and easy. I know a pull. And it's hard to get the vocabulary right and the tone and the premise and all that, especially while you're being filmed. Not easy, right? Not to mention, age 18. Play cut360.

Unknown Supporter 2 (23:53)

You can give everyone here like a $50,000 check, especially people that are in the streets who are committing violent crimes consistently, a $50,000 check. It's not going to fix anything. It's not going to increase the median household income in the next 10 years by 10% or 20%. There's no systemic racism that I've experienced here in America. What system is racist? I think the only racism we've actually seen recently, systemic racism that we've seen, is the application of systemic racism against white people. The University of Western Washington, for example, has been trying to segregate dormitories using black only dormitories, because black people feel safer amongst each other, but they're more likely to kill each other than white people are able to kill them. That's just the truth. You have King von rapping about killing other black men. Why should I think that the white man is the oppressor when black men are more likely to kill me?

Charlie Kirk (24:35)

Whoa. You tell him that. Tell us more.

Matt Nuclear (24:40)

Yeah. By the way, her response to that, I know you guys didn't play. It was, you should speak to me as if I was your mother. You have to understand that I was very respectful towards her as soon as I sat down the first time, because I went up twice. The first time I sat down with her, I shook her hand, I complimented her, I gave her my name and I was very respectful. And she. And she responded in a very condescending way, telling me that I should respond to her or speak to her as if she was my mother when she's not my mother. She's a crazy radical leftist who has no respect.

Charlie Kirk (25:07)

Before I play another piece of tape, how did you become a conservative? Why are you conservative? Because she was basically saying throughout the entire thing. I didn't watch the whole thing. I watched some of it. That how dare you, young black man, be right wing? How did you become conservative?

Matt Nuclear (25:22)

Just from reading, like, I've always used to be interested in politics and Donald Trump and just seeing everything, watching Ben Shapiro, Ben Carson, Thomas Sowell and looking into everyone's arguments and even you yourself as well, and Turning Point USA and what you guys have done. And I think after learning a lot, after researching, after trying to figure things out, I was like, well, I more politically align with the right. And I think that the right is justified politically. I think what they are doing is justified. I think the mag movement is a great movement. And I just found myself aligning with facts and logic, and I feel that that most aligns with the Republican Party or the right in general.

Charlie Kirk (26:02)

So you, were you raised conservative? I mean, I don't want to pry too much, but I mean, was the environment liberal?

Matt Nuclear (26:09)

I mean, so my father is Christian. My mother is also Christian. I was raised in a Christian household. My father has always been political, but he was born in Angola. And so I don't really know, like, whether or not he's conservative, although I think you'd be considered a conservative. But my parents weren't too political. When I was younger, even like six years old or five years old, my father used to make me like, write things down that would be on the newspaper there. And so that's really it. But no one really got me into politics. I kind of just went along and figured, well, I find this interesting and I like debating and I just got into it.

Charlie Kirk (26:43)

I think that. I think there's. That's awesome. Let's play another piece of tape here. This is you with this woman. Let's play cut 361.

Unknown Supporter 2 (26:49)

For example, we had the Chinese Exclusion act of 1882. We prevented Chinese people from getting citizenship and even entering the country. We discriminated against them and basically put them under apartheid, even here in the United States, yet they have the highest median household income. How is that possible? How come they don't complain and feel entitled consistently to beg for reparations and beg for this when they are killing each other 90% of the time, which is the rate that black people kill each other according to the FBI.

Unknown Liberal Opponent (27:12)

Oh, young Matt.

Unknown Supporter 2 (27:14)

Yet white people are the oppressors.

Unknown Liberal Opponent (27:15)

I'm not sure where your education came from, but they lied to you.

Unknown Supporter 2 (27:19)

Stats don't lie, though.

Unknown Liberal Opponent (27:20)

Statistics lie all the time. If you're going to start your argument on stats don't lie, you've already lost the argument. They lie. They lie all the time.

Charlie Kirk (27:29)

So let me tell you what's going on here, everybody. This is why. This is a masterclass. That's why Matt did so well. Do you notice she did not mention or even refute a single thing he said? She immediately argues from authority. She immediately goes from a place of condescension, well, I don't know where you got your education. Well, tell us why the data is wrong. Was it a bad study? Is it flimsy? Is it not consistent with other data that you might be able to present? Are you not aware, like, there's, there's a million different ways that you could good faith respond to that. The worst way is, well, I don't know where you got your education from. And statistics. Lyle, she is correct. Statistics do lie. But however, tell us why. So, so tell us. Okay, young man, that study is wrong because actually we have an overwhelming amount of data to show. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And we know this because it's peer reviewed and it's from multiple areas and it's from different cities. And again, we know a lot of cities aren't even sending all their crime stats to the FBI. So if they lie, they're probably underrepresenting the problem. And so the way you handle it is like, here are some of the facts, here's some of the data. And she immediately resorts to this kind of condescension. Want to ask you, do you think that there. That black liberalism is cracking and falling apart? Do you think that black liberalism is a. Is destined to be a failed domestic American political endeavor?

Matt Nuclear (28:50)

Absolutely. And I mean, I mean, I've gotten a lot of reactions from that clip and then those clips that went viral. And a lot of people are starting to see the truth is that black liberalism and radicalism and leftism in general is falling apart. It's going away. Okay? And the way that she conducted herself showed exactly what black liberalism or radicalism is. It's emotionality, not responding to facts, not responding to arguments, being condescending, and not knowing how to have a conversation with people in general. And so I definitely believe it's falling apart in this country. I believe it's only going to become more and more unpopular. And let's be honest, the Democratic Party is not doing well. It has become more and more unpopular that their ratings have been the lowest we've ever seen them. Right. And so absolutely it is.

Charlie Kirk (29:30)

What are the names you are called by either white liberals or others or other fellow black liberals that you might know for having these sort of opinions? Are you treated well for being a conservative young black man?

Matt Nuclear (29:40)

Definitely not by the majority of black people in this country. So, you know, the typical, you know, slurs would be like, I'm not going to say the actual slur, but raccoon. And then people will use terms like uncle raucous and things like that to try to undermine me and say that I'm only trying to appease white people when I'm not. I'm just trying to speak the truth and try to get the black communities to focus on the right issues. But yeah, of course that's what they'll call me.

Charlie Kirk (30:07)

You're young. It's the same age I started Turning Point usa. And you are in the pursuit of truth. You also have some, I believe, heterodox takes on the Israel issue. I would love to hear that. What are your views? Why do you talk about it so much? Please.

Matt Nuclear (30:24)

Yes, yes, yes. So originally when the conflict started between Israel and Palestine, really know too much. And then I started doing research about it and I was like, what's going on here with this whole Israel Palestine conflict? Why are we involved? And I figure that Israel is a great outpost of democracy in the Middle East. They best resemble our values. They are the safest place for Christians and conservatives in the Middle east in terms of the ones that represent our values and not Islamic fundamental values. And I was like, well, I support Israel. There is no reason why I shouldn't support their war against jihadists, their self defense and their self determination. And so that's kind of how I align myself that way. And I did a significant amount of research on the Israel Palestine conflict and I started talking about it on, you know, TikTok doing TikTok live debates. And that's kind of how I got. I got a little bit of notoriety. And what's interesting about that actually is the fact that I originally was supposed to go on Jubilee for a Israel debate, but that got canceled. But they invited me back for another one where I was gonna be debating a radical leftist.

Charlie Kirk (31:21)

And how we got this last, last one. Let's play cut 486. Let's just send you off with a triumph here. And she literally says, are you acting right now? You see, this is why the liberal black mind and not all blacks are this way, but the liberal black mind, she appeals to emotionalism and she can't comprehend the idea That a young black man might believe this. She thinks it's synthetic. Play cut 486.

Unknown Supporter 2 (31:48)

No one here is in.

Matt Nuclear (31:49)

Are you acting right now?

Unknown Supporter 2 (31:50)

Do you really believe the truth? There's no. There's no systemic racism that I've experienced here in America. What system is racist? I think the only racism we've actually seen recently. System Systemic racism that we've seen is the application of systemic racism against white people. The University of Western Washington, for example, has been trying to segregate dormitories using black only dormitories. Because black people feel safer amongst each other. But they're more likely to kill each other than white people are ever to kill them. That's just the truth. You have King Von rapping about killing other black men. Why should I think that the white man is the oppressor when black men are more likely to kill me?

Unknown Liberal Opponent (32:22)

Oh my God, this is scary. You need to think about me as your mama. Do not talk to me in that fashion. So let's check that now.

Charlie Kirk (32:30)

See, it's immediate appeal to authority. I'm a black woman and you have to appeal. No, that doesn't work anymore. Okay. You were able to talk facts and she made a fool of herself. Typical emotionalism. Matt. Nuclear. If you were a stock, I would buy it. Stay humble. Keep researching. Hope to meet you soon. Thank you so much.

Matt Nuclear (32:50)

Unfortunately, last night or early this morning, we lost a legend, and that is Dr. Dobson. I grew up listening to Dr. Dobson on Focus on the Family radio. Loyally married through his entire career, Dr. Dobson was a culture warrior. He did it with great joy and whimsy. You see, Dr. Dobson, he stood for the family and for biblical Christian values. While there was the big push for gay marriage, the big push for premarital sex, the big push for all the sexual anarchy that has really infected our nation, Dr. Dobson stood by President Trump. When other people questioned Donald Trump's Christian and biblical beliefs, Dr. Dobson, he finished, well, so many guys I'm watching like Rick Warren and others like, oh, it's so hard to watch. They had such, you know, they had a promising career and then they just be going to woke topia. Let's just remember Dr. Dobson from Focus on the Family of some of his great teachings throughout his career. Play cut 481, please.

You don't need the anger. You do not need anger to control children. That teacher who said I have to stay mad all the time to control my class, you see, was using anger to control. It doesn't work. Action is what controls.

Now that's a little snippet. I wish we had more time. But he didn't just advocate for these things. He had real technical advice on how to be better parents. He would run infomercials on how to biblically parent your kids. He would famously say, you spell love to a kid. T I M E time. It's an attitude I'll never forget. I got a chance to spend a good amount of time with Dr. Dobson at his retreat, and I saw him last at his retreat back in Colorado. Colorado Springs, in the midst of the election. I made time to go see him. I'm so glad I did. And the first thing and the last thing he always says to me says, I know, Charlie, I know you're changing the world and you're doing God's work, but those kids of yours, they need you. And don't forget that that daughter needs you, that son needs you. So you better go make time. Kind of in a very forceful, fatherly, biblical way. Let's play cut 483. The legend Dr. James Dobson.

It's love to tell a person the truth.

Well, who was our model? Christ was our model, absolutely. He was certainly not intolerant or he was not tolerant of sin. He called it by its name.

Victor Davis Hanson (36:22)

And he's the one that said, it's the truth. You shall Know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

If you do, you have to take the heat that comes with it. You know, I mentioned the universities. There's going to be tremendous pressure even on Christian colleges.

Again, I wish we had more time to play these pieces of tape. Finally, let's play cut 474 on Dr. Dobson having Trump's back. Play cut 474.

You know, I have Christian people, conservative people who come up to me and say, what's he like? The truth of the matter is that he's much more of a gentleman than anybody knows he is and he has kept every promise he made to the faith community. I really do love and appreciate that man. If that makes some people unhappy, I'm speaking for myself, not for my organization. But I'm extremely pleased and I wish people would get off his back.

Charlie Kirk (37:24)

Dr. Dobson ran the race well, as it says in First Timothy. He finished well. And let us that be the goal for all of us as we remember David Horowitz and John MacArthur and now Dr. Dobson. So many legends are passing away and it is a beautiful legacy. He never wavered despite the protests, the calls for cancellation. Dr. Dobson never wavered for something that keeps our society free, the family. His entire effort was called Focus on the Family. Boy, is that beautiful. God bless him. We'll miss you, Dr. Dobson. We'll keep on fighting for the family every day. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us. As always, freedomarliekirk.com, thanks so much for listening and God bless.
