And I think that's what a lot of these progressive folks on TikTok do is that they just like love to interrupt.

They love to interrupt.

And it's because it's all they know how to do because they don't actually have anything to stand on in any way whatsoever.

So it was a really cool thing to be a part of.

Yeah, I know.

It's incredible to be here with 30,000 Patriots from all across the country.

Honestly, probably the world as well.

And I knew Charlie since I was 12 years old.

When I made my first YouTube video ever, Charlie found it.

He DMed me on Twitter.

when I was still in middle school, and he said, hey, CJ, keep up the good work.

I love what you're doing.

And if you are available, come to our high school conference.

And I had to tell Charlie.

I said, Charlie, I'm in middle school, so I can't come unless you're going to give me a waiver.

And so he was like, you're good.

You're good to go.

And so Charlie was always incredibly supportive of me.

I considered him a very, very dear friend.

And I think that it's so important for us to all carry the torch.
