    E 274: The Legendary Walk of Charlie Kirk

    Welcome to One Day Closer with Mark and Dave, where we are rekindling a spirit of hope and truth into today’s discussion. This past week, on September 10,2025, America and the world lost a voice to be reckoned with.  A voice dedicated to open civil discourse in search of connection and understanding. It’s impossible to highlight the life and mission of Charlie Kirk, husband, father and advocate for Christ Jesus, without admiration reference to his insight, vision, purpose, passion and dedication to our younger generation, the hope and future of tomorrows leaders.  Likewise, it is unfathomable to comprehend how or why God would allow such a voice of hope and reason to be silenced at such a young age. For those that had never heard of Charlie until news broke of his assassination, at the ripe old age of 31, Charlie Kirk had engaged and positively influenced a generation of young inquisitive students to examine their beliefs, their faith, their purpose, politics and policies.  He was and will remain our greatest advocate and example of the quest for moral clarity and civil discourse.  His legendary walk with Christ his Lord and willingness to serve as a voice for honest and open debate has changed the lives of hundreds of thousands and will continue to impact the lives of millions going forward. Born in 1993, in the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights, Charlie grew up in a conservative household.  As a teenager, he was an Eagle Scout with hopes of attending West Point, and later serve in the US Army.  But that wasn’t Gods call for Charlie. He wrote his first opinion piece for right-wing outlet Breitbart against what he called the “indoctrination” of liberal textbooks, which led to his first media appearance on the Fox Business at the age of 17.  From that one opinion piece and a single media appearance, Charlie eventually met his future mentor Bill Montgomery, who convinced Charlie to dropout of college, and together, they co-founded Turning Point USA in 2012.  Charlie was just 18 years old. What started as a low budget, grass root college campus operation to simply engage with students to consider what they were being told by their professors, the movement quickly became a right-thinking powerhouse that became the fastest-growing conservative nonprofits in America.  By 31, Charlie Kirk, the CEO and co-founder of the conservative youth organization had grown into a $92 million-a-year political movement, with millions of followers online, but not just young followers…he also captured the ear of President Trump and others. Today, according to Turning Point USA, the organization has 300 employees, it has a presence in more than 3,500 high school and college campuses nationwide and 700,000 registered conservative activist on board—with revenues nearing $100 million. By 30, he had become a household name in conservative circles.  His influence is undeniable: Across social media, he garnered a huge following with more than 8 million followers on TikTok, 8.9 million on Instagram,  5 million on X and 3.8 million on YouTube.  His podcast, entitled The Charlie Kirk Show, has enjoyed north of 600,000 downloads per day.  All these accomplishments by the age of 31.  It’s jaw dropping to ponder the success and impact this humble servant to honest debate brought forth. But here’s the point.  At the age of 18, Charlie SAW A NEED and set off on a journey to MEET THAT NEED.  Millions will follow.

    E 273: Remembering 9/11

    Tomorrow marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11, where we'll pause to honor the memories of the innocent men and women, moms and dads, students and children that were simply starting their day…commuting to work, settling in for a productive day on the job.   But their day came to an end at 8:46 am est, when Flight 11 crashes into the north face of the North Tower of the World Trade Center, between floors 93 and 99. All passengers aboard are instantly killed with an unknown number inside the building.   At 9:03, Flight 175 crashes into the south face of the South Tower of the World Trade Center, between floors 77 and 85. All passengers and crew are killed together with an unknown number inside the building. Parts of the plane, including the starboard engine, leave the building from its east and north sides, falling to the ground six blocks away. 9:37:46: Flight 77 crashes into the western side of The Pentagon, in Arlington, Virginia.  All 58 passengers and crew were killed aboard the aircraft, as well as an additional 125 on the ground. 9:57: The passengers aboard Flight 93 begin a revolt, planned by Todd Beamer, Mark Bingham, Tom Burnett, Jeremy Glick, and others, moving against the hijackers in an attempt to take back the plane.  I might point out that just minutes before, citizen patriotism was reborn when Todd, Mark, Tom and Jeremy decided…to fight back…and proclaimed “Let’s Roll.” As a result, Flight 93 was downed by mere passengers on the plane who stepped up in an attempt to save others at a target unknown.  Flight 93 went down in  a field outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Flight 93’s intended target was likely either the White House or the United States Capitol. Twenty-seven minutes later the unthinkable happened—the south tower collapsed, sending out shock waves that registered over 2.4 on the seismographs at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.  The attacks killed 2,977 people from 90 nations: 2,753 people were killed in New York; 184 people were killed at the Pentagon; and 40 people were killed on Flight 93. They were not soldiers.  They were not engaged on the frontline of some battlefield in some distant land.   They were citizens of this great country, and apparently other nations, simply going about their business.  Thinking about their schedule for day, working on a big presentation at work, dropping their kids off at day care, working towards a dream maybe to send their kid to college or in the midst of planning a wedding, a vacation or a long awaited fall reunion with distant relatives.   That was 24 years ago. Millions witnessed this tragic day on TV from the comfort of their home.  Others learned of these attacks from the radio or a co-worker.  But countless thousands witnessed this horrific day first hand just outside of ground zero, covered in concrete ash as they scrambled to find safety, medical care and understanding. This was a day we were told to “Never Forget.”  It was the day a sleeping giant of a nation was awakened from their slumber and self-absorbed pursuits.  It was the second or third, maybe even the fourth rebirth of this nation to stop, look and listen to the dangers surrounding us.   So join me today's I shed some light into the many backstories that were taking place, well in advance of 9/11.

    E 272: Speaking Truth about our Trans Epidemic

    A special thanks to the Newsmax network, Rob Finnerty, Rob Schmidt and the entire team at Newsmax for boldly and honestly sharing the truth about the challenges facing our youth, trans, gay, bi or straight. Today's program highlights what we know from the Minneapolis Trans mass shooting of this past week.  We have the manifesto from the shooter. We will discuss how we are failing as a nation to push back against the lies our youth are being told by the radical left.  Gender affirming care is not care, it's deception from the pit of hell. In truth, the radical left and all those that subscribe to their rhetoric suffer from mental illness and an absence of God in their lives.  Without God they remain in the dark and apart from Christ. They claim it is better to have a trans kid than a dead kid.  How lazy is that perspective.   They prescribe puberty blockers, hormone treatments, mutilation and castration as solutions to finding happiness in who they are.    How did we allow this twisted perspective and these sick recommended treatments go this far?

    E 271: Retaliation or a Reckoning? You Decide

    Opening clip accredited to Newsmax team, guest host Ed Henry, Finnerty show Eds monologue was captioned the Death of the Democratic Party.  I prefer to refer to it as the glorious passing of a nasty bowel movement!  The radical democrats killed their own party.  They need wellness checks on Dems who are showing severe mental instability. CNN and Wallstreet polls reported this week that over 4 million former democrats have switched parties.  They have decided to no longer believe what their party believes in…favoring and protecting illegals over legal citizens, a party who favors chaos over law and order, are protesting actions in DC to reduce crime and clean up the nations capital.   Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, cut her DNI department by 40%, eliminating Intelligence staff, that were politicized deep state actors and weaponized departments. DNI continues to expose bad actors that hid behind Top Secret Classifications to coverup Russiagate…including Obamas role. Cancelled 37 security clearances mostly unfamiliar names…backstage operators, leakers, propagandist, Russian gate Promoters, etc.  An appellate court has thrown out the $500 million civil fraud penalty against former President Donald Trump in the high-profile case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Adam Schiff, Letitia James and another gal (I think she’s a DA), are under investigation of Mortgage Fraud! Over 700 arrested in the DC cleanup in one week.  91 illegal guns were taken off the streets.  0 homicides over last 8 days in a row as of Friday.  Car jacking down 80%.   Mark do you know the average age of a typical car jacker?  It’s  14 years old.  Do you see anything back asswards with this stat?  How about two years from being allowed to acquire a drivers license permit…to practice driving with mommy and daddy in an empty parking lot!   Here’s another observation…the majority of those caught are armed!  A 14 year old with a gun!  Isn’t that against the law?  Why is this so?  Any guesses?  They are 14 because the gang they are working for know that these young soldiers can’t go to jail until they’re 16! Meanwhile, government representatives continue to speak out and against illegal immigration deportations.  Assaults on ICE agents has increased 1000% since Trump executed his deportation plan. Update on the Auto Pen scandal: Former Senior Biden aide, sr spokesperson, Ian Sams, revealed he only met with Biden twice over a period of 2 years according to James Comer.  This could lead to over turning the auto pen pardons.  We still don’t know who the wizard behind the curtain was! Rick Scott out of FL is opening a Senate investigation on Gavin Newsom’s handling or lack of handling the Palisades fire in LA.  660 structure destroyed.  Gavin promised to rebuild.  Rick Scott is stepping up to address the lack of action.   Rick Scott as you know dealt with many natural disasters in FL so this guy knows how to get things done.  I guarantee you he will BBQ Gavin with his findings. Early morning FBI raid on John Bolton’s house occurred Friday.  For the record, the left and many on the right are calling this  retaliation, but I prefer a reckoning … finally it’s judgement day … for those that are warmonger’s, classified leakers and activist non-patriots, who thought they were above the law.  Corruption IS BEING rooted out!   I think this is awesome news!!

    E 268: Just Slow Your Roll

    Last week I put a short show together asking you, our listeners, for some feedback on our podcast.  As I mentioned in that episode, Mark and I launched One Day Closer officially in October 2022…under the call of Ezekiel 33, where we learned the importance of the call to become a Watchmen of the Wall.  Which is to say, be engaged with Life.  If you see danger on the horizon, sound the alarm!  “Danger Will Robinson!”  As you may recall, that season of time, Joe Biden’s term as Commander in Chief was fraught with danger signs, from gender confusion, government policies that were counter to the core tenets of Americas founding.  Everything was upside down!  Pronouns were more important than merit.  Wide open borders without any attempt to Vet the incoming was a manufactured coup for redistricting and future voter fraud. Chaos was the mantra.  The crazier the assault or policy only opened another door for more chaos.  It started with Drag Queen story hour at our pre-K schools.  Which called into question ones gender, then rules about honoring ones pronouns and their identity.  If you identified as a cat, the schools brought in litter boxes to support your delusion.   Gender confusion was all the rage and parents couldn’t wait to forever change their son or daughters gender so that they (the parents) could boost about how woke they were.   Point is, there was a lot to call out and expose during Biden’s term, a season when watchmen were sorely needed but were in short supply or afraid to speak out.  In the show prior, episode 265 entitled “And May God Rest His Soul”, I shared a story about Jesus’ yoke supposedly being an “easy one.”  If you didn’t get a chance to listen to that show, I suggest you do so, especially if you are finding little “rest” in this journey we call “life.” What I did manage to point out in that story, is that by taking up Christs yoke…strapping into his yoke does two things.   It requires that we bring our burdens to him, which engages both our trust and faith in Him…PLUS…it suggest that to be yoked together with him means we are able to walk side by side, shoulder to shoulder with Christ on the journey!   So this very topic came up this past Saturday at our men’s group.  We were talking about how difficult surrendering and trusting can be sometimes…and one guy said…”yeah but how do you do that?   There were a lot of thoughts shared by other brothers, examples of how they handled something in the past or a testimony of how God answered their prayers, etc., etc., but I could tell the guy wasn’t satisfied with the advice.  It appeared to me that he didn’t need a testimony but rather a visual.  So I gave him one. Imagine you have taken Christs invite and surrendered your burdens to Him.  You’ve even gone so far as to trust Him with both the load and the outcome.  AND you have submitted to locking the empty yoke collar to your neck.  You are now side by side, shoulder to shoulder with Christ. But when the collar gets tight on your neck or you feel like your pulling harder that Christ…maybe you are getting ahead of Christ?  If you slow down, accept Gods pace over yours, the collar comes back into balance…equally distributed…to the point where you can’t even feel it.   Maybe that’s where you are suppose to be….not trying to get ahead of God…or pulling God…and not lagging behind either…but side by side, shoulder to shoulder.   Maybe that’s where peace, joy and rest fit into the equation.  This is where Christ is.  When you can’t feel the yoke at all, no pressures, your side of the yoke is aligned with Christ side…shoulders are square.  I believe this is where the peace, joy and rest lives.   His pace is the right pace.   Send us a text

    E 267: We All Have A Job To Do...Until We Don't

    What’s the meaning behind our shows Title…One Day Closer?  The simple answer is…Everyday we wake up with breath, we are all one day closer to either finishing our race here on earth, well or poorly.  Not to sound morbid, but none of us are guaranteed our next day or our next breath here on Earth.  Our bodies and our internal workings are an amazing self-contained tapestry of Gods handiwork.   Some of us treat our bodies pretty rough, especially when we are younger.  Consider the athletes, soldiers, body builders, laborers, construction workers.  These guys and gals push their bodies to the limit…and like a good old Timex watch…they keep ticking.  And on the bright side of things, as we make new resolutions, plan out our goals and desires for the new year, we are also one day closer to realizing our dreams, hopes, finding that right girl or guy to spend the rest of your life with, one day closer to prayers being answered and blessings and goals being realized. So why One Day Closer you ask?  Because whatever you have going on…when you wake up in the morning, you are indeed One Day Closer of being finished…whether the tasks at hand are completed or not. Our hope and suggestion by the way, would be to lock down your future enteral destiny done FIRST.  While there’s still time, choose Jesus.  You’ll never have to worry about “what if I get cancer, what if I get hit by a bus tomorrow or what if my heart stops working properly.”  None of that matters once you have your salvation / relationship with God right.  Everyday afterwards, becomes a blessing, a gift and a calling!  What our tag line means “To Rekindle a spirit of hope and truth into the crazy discussion of the day.”   Why?  So that we can all be WHAT our families, friends and total strangers need us to be…a voice of reason, hope and light in a dark world.  A voice that was unafraid to introduce a biblical perspective to the crazy news stories of the day. We were solely attempting to fulfill the calling of Philippians 2:15 - “so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,” We started this podcast in October of 2022.  We felt millions of Americans (both parents and students) were loosing hope…were struggling with all the lies the administration was feeding us.   We both felt it was time to inject biblical interpretation and perspective into the crazy discussions of the day.   When we got wind of the battle over gender ideology (Erin’s story), drag queen story hour and gender affirming care initiatives, we spoke back to the darkness and called out the stupid.   Our objective was simple.  Help others snap out of the Covid fog of war, wake up from woke deception and find their voice and reason for common sense.  We felt it was time to expose that the monkeys had taken over the zoo…and something had to be done. And our closing reminders:  “Take a breath, Keep the Faith , Get in the Word…We all have a job to do, until we don’t.” Mark and I believe two basic premises:  Salvation is message ONE and is available to all who call on God and it is a requirement to enter eternal peace. Secondarily, we all have a job to do, responsibilities with accountability, POST-Salvation! It’s not “works towards salvation” but works of service Post-salvation out of compassion for others and a purpose driven life with meaning and measure. Send us a text
