| 0:00.0 | All right, everybody, we're going to do something a little bit different today, |
| 0:12.0 | and obviously you know why already. |
| 0:14.0 | My friend and a great American, father, a husband, a damn good fighter in the War of Ideas is dead. Charlie Kirk died |
| 0:27.8 | yesterday. You may note that this is a pre-taped. So as I'm taping this, this is actually, it's |
| 0:34.9 | now 5.36 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday you're watching this live on |
