[00:00] I'm Pastor Alan Jackson. We've had the
[00:01] privilege of partnering with Charlie
[00:03] Kirk and Turning Point USA. It was an
[00:05] honor to stand with them. All of us are
[00:07] grieving Charlie's absence, but here's
[00:09] the reality. We have an assignment.
[00:11] We're not stopping. We're going to
[00:13] continue forward with what Charlie
[00:15] invested his life in. Now, it's our turn
[00:18] to lead with faith. We're going to make
[00:20] an impact in this generation for the
[00:22] kingdom of God. We have some resources
[00:24] for you. You can go to
[00:24] allenjackson.com/charlie.
[00:27] together we're going to make a
[00:29] difference in this generation.
[00:30] Bernardet, thank you for being a
[00:32] subscriber and uh shoot.
[00:34] >> So, I just really wanted to discuss how
[00:37] can we stop all these horrible rumors
[00:40] that are going on. Um you know, the
[00:42] collectiveness of everybody being so
[00:44] hateful towards the team and to what's
[00:46] going on with Erica. You know, it's just
[00:50] very hurtful since I've been a long-term
[00:52] Turning Point investor and I love
[00:55] Charlie more than anything. So, I just
[00:58] think if we need to have somebody very
[01:00] strong to get out there and say enough
[01:01] is enough. We're continuing the mission
[01:04] of Turning Point. We don't want to lose
[01:06] a piece of Charlie in this. We want to
[01:08] support Erica at every move. Stop
[01:11] analyzing everything. Stop being
[01:13] toddlers,
[01:14] you know, stop the infighting. We have
[01:16] enough infighting in the party as it is.
[01:20] And I just think a little bit more of a
[01:22] stand should be taken because you guys
[01:23] have a very hard job. You have the
[01:25] midterms coming. Yes. Uh, yeah. You
[01:27] mentioned being an investor. I think you
[01:29] email us all the time, don't you, Bett?
[01:30] I think I see those emails.
[01:31] >> Annoying, Blake.
[01:32] >> Yeah. No, no, don't worry about it.
[01:34] Don't worry about it. I'm sorry we can't
[01:36] respond to all emails. We get a lot of
[01:37] them. I try to respond to some when I
[01:39] can. Um, but no, thank you for being
[01:41] such an interested supporter. So, so
[01:44] invested, you know, morally as well. Uh
[01:47] yeah, that's you know that's a a very
[01:49] good question and I'm glad you've asked
[01:51] it because it is it is a tough thing to
[01:53] navigate and you can see how we've
[01:57] we've worked around it because there's a
[01:59] lot of things that are so vile, so hate
[02:04] driven. So I mean just so loopy. It has
[02:07] certainly been the opinion of a lot of
[02:09] us here that it's just it's not
[02:10] productive to engage with. You're only
[02:12] giving oxygen to a fire. But I think
[02:16] it's also true after two months clearly,
[02:19] >> you know, it has not caused them to just
[02:21] go away. There's still
[02:23] >> I mean, there's people who are harassing
[02:24] Mikey. There's people harassing other
[02:26] members of our team and a lot of that's
[02:29] just
[02:30] >> Yeah. Sorry, what was that?
[02:32] >> I just kind of think that they're all
[02:33] children and in order to stop this, you
[02:36] have to smack it down for once. It's
[02:38] enough already.
[02:39] >> You know, you can't keep footing
[02:41] around it. You'll have to say enough
[02:42] with it. we've explained to you that
[02:44] this is what happened. I don't want to
[02:45] hear these lies anymore. I don't if you
[02:48] I don't want to hear you tracing all
[02:49] over whatever Candace is saying or
[02:51] whatever this one's saying. You got to
[02:53] just be firm enough to say enough. We're
[02:54] moving on. This is the way the case is
[02:57] going to go. And you know what? Pray for
[02:59] Charlie and let's get on and try to beat
[03:02] the game cuz we have the midterms
[03:03] coming.
[03:04] >> Yeah. Exactly. So, I don't want to speak
[03:06] up because I'm not Erica. I'm not, you
[03:09] know, the senior people at Turning
[03:11] Point. I technically don't have a
[03:12] position in Turning Point. I'm only with
[03:13] the show. So, I don't want to speak up
[03:15] for anyone else. I get that
[03:16] >> and I don't want to also, like I said,
[03:18] they have preferred we not give oxygen
[03:20] to really wild specific claims unless
[03:22] it's like absolutely necessary for some
[03:24] reason.
[03:25] >> What I have done is I've tried to when I
[03:28] talk about it, I talk about it big
[03:29] picture, which is there's clearly just a
[03:32] part of society that finds conspiracy
[03:35] theories really compelling. I was just
[03:37] talking about this morning.
[03:39] >> You put out a [clears throat] good
[03:39] tweet.
[03:40] >> Yeah. Yeah. I said it this morning. I'll
[03:41] just repeat some of it here where you
[03:43] see how these things work. First of all,
[03:45] people get more attached to the idea of
[03:47] some conspiracy existing than any
[03:49] specific narrative. So, they can swap in
[03:52] new things. Like, they'll throw out some
[03:53] wild idea, something obviously debunks
[03:55] it, and they just instantly slot in a
[03:58] new thing that is as crazy or even
[04:00] crazier, and they don't really pause to
[04:02] think about it. Uh, people love to say,
[04:04] "I'm just asking questions." And okay,
[04:07] it's true, you can ask questions about
[04:08] things, but what is often the case is
[04:11] they're not actually that interested in
[04:13] answers. So, you know, people ask the
[04:15] question, "Oh, was he was he on the
[04:17] phone when the shooting happened?"
[04:19] >> The answer is no. And okay,
[04:24] >> then that I guess that answer they it
[04:26] turns out they weren't terribly
[04:27] interested in an answer to that
[04:28] question.
[04:29] >> Yeah, he wasn't on the phone.
[04:30] >> Yeah. just a loss
[04:32] >> just a loss of sort of basic thinking on
[04:36] a lot of things so many things it's like
[04:38] even if this was the case who cares so
[04:41] again to use the one that we've talked
[04:42] about on the show because I think we've
[04:43] confronted that like if Mikey was on the
[04:46] phone with someone
[04:48] what like he wasn't again he was not but
[04:52] if he was like what oh the the
[04:55] conspiracy required that someone be 20
[04:57] ft away from Charlie so they could they
[04:59] could call it to say that it's done like
[05:02] this thing that was happening in front
[05:04] of hundreds of cameras. It's it defies
[05:07] rational thought which shows that so
[05:08] much of this is not happening for
[05:10] rational reasons and that's why you
[05:12] can't really debunk it. You can only you
[05:15] can respond to it but I try when I
[05:17] respond I try to just show that we're
[05:19] aware of this. We're not ignoring it but
[05:22] you also have to recognize it's not
[05:23] really defeatable through rational
[05:26] means. You just have to show. Yeah. Like
[05:28] you said, we're focused on what matters,
[05:30] which is winning elections, which is
[05:32] winning young people, which is
[05:34] converting people, pursuing the
[05:35] religious revival, doing the things
[05:37] Charlie cared about. And Charlie
[05:39] >> would be very distressed if we were just
[05:41] endlessly fighting weird conspiracy
[05:43] theories instead of
[05:45] >> doing the causes he gave his life for.
[05:47] >> And we do have Mikey on. If uh Mike, you
[05:50] have anything to say.
[05:51] >> Hi, Bernardet. How are you?
[05:53] >> How are you? You look wonderful.
[05:55] >> Good. I'm so sorry
[05:56] >> for those of you guys who do not
[05:59] >> Thank you, Bernardet. I Charlie loved
[06:01] you. And for those of you who don't know
[06:05] >> behind the scenes, Bernardet always
[06:08] would bring a gift to Charlie twice a
[06:10] year at our
[06:11] >> I see it right behind you. There's the
[06:14] football.
[06:14] >> There's one behind me and then there's
[06:16] one in his office which is the Michael
[06:18] Jordan basketball which was one of his
[06:20] highlights. So Bernardet, you are always
[06:21] such a good friend to Charlie. But I
[06:24] don't want you to feel
[06:26] >> I don't want you to feel hurt by all
[06:28] these horrible things. We know that you
[06:30] have a responsibility. You're a young
[06:31] man
[06:32] >> and I just want you to take a deep
[06:34] breath. Like I said, you know what? Let
[06:36] them spin their conspiracy theories.
[06:38] You're a good kid. You were had
[06:40] instructions to call Erica. Charlie had
[06:42] a team that jumped right in there. I
[06:45] know that team. And we just got to move
[06:48] on. We got to push the moving on and
[06:50] let's get to these midterms. Yeah,
[06:53] >> that's right. Thank you, Bernardet. I
[06:54] just I It's It's crazy. It's just I I
[06:58] remember taking the last picture I took
[06:59] of Charlie was at 12:23.
[07:02] >> Yes.
[07:02] >> Right before he was shot and I just I
[07:04] took that picture. My phone was already
[07:06] in my hand. I plugged my ears. People
[07:07] thought I was on a phone call. I wasn't.
[07:09] But
[07:09] >> I I did in fact call Erica momentarily
[07:12] afterwards. But thank you, Bernardet.
[07:14] That's very encouraging to hear from
[07:15] you. you be encouraged and you keep
[07:17] going cuz we need you and we need that
[07:20] team to take a deep breath and get your
[07:22] pants on and get running.
[07:24] >> Right.
[07:25] >> Thank you, Bernardet. God bless you. Now
[07:27] I'm just thinking of the the occasional
[07:28] times.
[07:29] >> See you guys in Marago.
[07:30] >> Get your pants on. I'm just thinking of
[07:31] the occasional times Charlie was like a
[07:33] nice shirt with like shorts on. He was
[07:35] he would occasionally have Not often.
[07:37] Not often, but it was a thing.
[07:38] >> No. But he said this too shall pass, so
[07:40] get it going.
[07:42] >> Right.
[07:43] >> Yes. Yes.
[07:44] >> Okay. God bless you, boys. And you know
[07:46] what? We always got your back.
[07:48] >> All right, we we have a we have a minute
[07:50] until
[07:51] >> Got it. Bye, Mikey.
[07:52] >> But yeah, I just I I just want to
[07:53] reaffirm, you know, Mikey, obviously you
[07:55] faced way more attention than I have or
[07:58] anyone else here has the last few weeks.
[07:59] We are all 100% behind you. This is
[08:02] gross. This is dumb. Uh and but as
[08:05] Bernardet said, "This shall
