He was there to tell enthusiastic Japanese patriots about the importance of taking pride in your country, fighting back against the threat of globalism, and ensuring the future of a nation.

It's a distillation of so many of the messages Charlie gave his life for and is not to be missed.   As Blake Neff explains, Charlie's pacing was to account for the translations, which have been removed for an optimal listening experience.
