This is undaunted life a man's podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it.

Hey, Mark Wayne, it's always good to see you. It's always good to have you on the show. But as you and I have talked about offline, obviously we're kind of in a weird place right now as a country and you and I've talked a little bit here

and there since the assassination of Charlie Kirk. There's a lot of thoughts. There's been think

pieces and podcasts and episodes of shows at late night hosts. Everyone's been taking their shots and

making their opinions known. But I just want you to give your message to my audience about really

the impact that Charlie Kirk had, especially for the Trump administration and your thoughts about the assassination. Then we'll just move forward from there. Well, that's a lot of questions there. You got just throw it out there. I just want to sneak them all in just in case you forget one. You can just pick them out here or there. No jokes just right in there. I mean, you've got a black t-shirt on. I'm, you know, I look better than you do. You know, well, I mean, it just didn't feel like, well, we can take a vote. We'll take a poll to see how that goes. Yeah, so, listen, um, first of all, for Charlie's impact on the election, it can't be overstated. I'm not saying understated. It can't be overstated that his impact he had. He did something that Republicans didn't think we could do. He took the younger generation and changed their way of thinking, not by trying to manipulate them, but trying to get them to think.

Not, you know, not by having a fiery speech like AOC and fight and, you know, burn them down because they're socialist and all this stuff. You know, they're fascist.

But he had, he had, he did it with words that is hard for a lot of us to express,

and that's love.

And people go, well, whatever.

I mean, he's, he's decisive.

What was decisive about him, right?

I mean, he went up, sat at a tent, and on the college campus, gave a

microphone to the opposition, and he had open debate with him. And he would openly talk about

his faith of Jesus Christ. He would talk about his traditional marriage and encourage people

to get married and have as many kids as they could. And then if you wanted to debate political stuff, he could go all the way back to the founding

fathers, the Federalist Papers. He could debate the Constitution or the current law that was

just passed. And he could recite it without notes. One of the smartest individuals I ever met,

and he could articulate it in a way in a way that wasn't coming

across as condescending, wasn't coming across as a, as his opinion, he gave the facts

behind it. And that's why it was so argue or so hard to debate, Charlie, because when you

were debating him, he knew the issue and he could recite it.
