Summary
On this special episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, Charlie's pastor, Rob McCoy hosts as Charlie takes the stage for the final day of America Fest 2021 in Phoenix, Arizona. Pastor Rob interviews Melanie Gabriel from Vancouver, Washington (14), and Tayvan "Tay" (14) who attempted to kill himself by shooting himself in the head with a 9mm and survived after doctors gave him only a 2 percent chance of surviving. Both were brought to the depths of depression by endless COVID lockdowns, school closures, and an overall lack of social interaction. These two remarkable young people eventually became the best of friends and helped each other overcome depression, endless lockdowns, and the medical apartheid impacting America's youngest generation.
