ERIC METAXAS (HOST): Let me just say this, what is happening -- you and I talked about this on my program -- when you see something happening like what is happening now -- you firmly believe and I believe that Trump actually won and that there's been massive fraud. Like, you believe that, right? 

CHARLIE KIRK (GUEST): One hundred percent. 

METAXAS: But ok. So let's just stop --

KIRK: Not even a question. 

METAXAS: But I'm saying, but let's just stop. So you believe that, so my attitude is, like, so who cares what I can prove in the courts? This is right, this happened, and I'm just going to do anything I can to uncover this horror, this evil. The idea that somebody would -- I mean, let's think what can be the level of arrogance, brazenness, evil to steal -- it's not stealing an election. It's like stealing the heart and soul of America. It's like holding a rusty knife to the throat of Lady Liberty. Like, that's what it is. It's not some, you know, chicanery that happened and they got away with it. This is evil and you need to frame it that way. You need to say, ladies and gentlemen, it's like somebody is being raped or murdered and you say, you know, that just happens. And you're like that just happens? What's wrong with you? Are you dead? You have no soul? You don't care about that? You don't feel that justice must be done? This is that times a thousand. 

This country has blessed unfathomable millions around the world in every kind of way. Has spread liberty across the globe, around the globe, and I believe it's God's will that we would continue to do that at an increased level for a long time. So the idea that somebody would come in and do something like this, my attitude is just like, I don't care what we need to do. That is so unacceptable that if somebody says to me, "Well, the odds of you winning..." -- I'd be like, you know what? I don't care about the odds. What's right is right. That is so wrong, we need to do absolutely everything we can. And what's going to happen is going to happen. But we need to fight to the death, to the last drop of blood because it's worth it.
