Summary
I revisit my 2020 conversation with Charlie Kirk, recorded during a time when we discussed pressing issues around masculinity, responsibility, and the future of our culture. In light of the tragic news of Charlie’s passing after the horrific shooting at Utah Valley University on September 10th, 2025, I share this episode in his honor.
We cover topics such as the hyper-feminization of boys, the need for strong male role models, and the responsibility men carry to lead with courage and conviction. Let’s honor Charlie’s legacy by carrying forward the work he dedicated his life to.

| 0:00.0 | As many of you may know, there was a horrific shooting on the campus of Utah Valley University |
| 0:07.2 | just yesterday, September 10th, 2025. Charlie Kirk, who is a political activist, a conservative, |
| 0:15.5 | a voice of good, a voice of reason and truth, and a voice of courage in American culture was shot in the |
| 0:24.2 | neck and subsequently died as a result of the injury sustained from that shooting to the neck. |
| 0:31.4 | And this is somebody that I've had on the podcast. My oldest son messaged me when he heard the news and told me that he had been |
| 0:38.6 | shot and I followed closely and I heard all sorts of conflicting stories as to whether or not |
| 0:43.2 | Charlie was still alive, but it looks like it has been confirmed that Charlie Kirk has passed |
| 0:48.2 | away. Now I had him on the podcast in 2020, I believe it was October of 2020. And we talked about whether or not society was |
| 0:57.5 | making men the enemy and in memory and honor of the life that Charlie Kirk led and the good |
| 1:04.4 | that he did. I wanted to share this as a recap and a revisit to some of his words of wisdom |
| 1:10.3 | and his courageous attitude towards |
| 1:13.3 | men and masculinity and how we ought to show up in society. So today we share that recap with you |
| 1:19.5 | from 2020 where we talk about personal responsibility. We also talk about the hyper-feminization |
| 1:24.9 | of boys, why boys need heroes, how to create stronger |
| 1:29.4 | men, saving the country, all things that are just as, if not more applicable today than |
| 1:35.1 | they ever were. So I would encourage you at this point to pray for his beautiful family, |
| 1:42.3 | his wife and kids, pray for this country, and then we have some |
| 1:46.0 | work to do. And I'm going to be sharing some things over the coming days and weeks on what we as |
| 1:50.1 | men can do to reclaim and restore masculinity so we can completely abolish and obliterate the nonsense |
| 1:59.9 | and the destructive ideologies that have permeated much of our culture. |
| 2:05.6 | I hope you enjoy this one with some humility and some respect and reverence towards Charlie Kirk. |
| 2:12.6 | You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest. Embrace your fears and boldly charge your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time. You are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life. This is who you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done, you can call yourself a man. |
