HONOR LEGACIES

“I think it was October 2020 I think I did 104 rallies that month. So that's four a day. And I don't mean like, you know, a lunch or a breakfast. I mean, like, you know, 300 to 10,000 people in a room, four times a day, 31 days straight. And it's sort of brutal. And at the end of it, you're like, I just sort of want to be done with it.”

“A hundred percent. I mean, the best way to honor Charlie's legacy is to actually be out here, to doing this, to be unafraid, to not back down. I know I was supposed to do something with him literally the week after that. And as you mentioned sort of in the intro, you know, I met Charlie, I think he was 19 or just turned 20. And it was 2015 at the beginning of that cycle.”

“Honestly, it was the same. You just knew it was a generational talent. You know, I don't know much, but I think, you know, if there's one thing I've probably proven to be fairly decent at in the last decade or so, is sort of just understanding talent. And I recognized it in an instant. I mean, it was literally five minutes. I'm like, okay, interview's over, like you're traveling with me.”

“I think I've done more hours of congressional testimony, you know, for treason. Right. I mean, you know, a crime punishable by death. That became like my average Tuesday. It was like, oh, they're going to try to kill you again, Don. I'm like, it's fine. Can I catch lunch first?”

“It was the guys like clout chasing on one side and then kissing your ass on the other. That I didn't appreciate. I had friends that didn't agree with a lot of what we were doing, but they'd still like, I'm writing a check to your campaign because I just believe in you. And even if we don't agree on much politically, like you're still a friend. And like, those guys are great.”
