1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. Even President 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: Trump today presenting the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: Kirk on what would have been his thirty second birthday 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: ceremony taking place right now at the Rose Garden. Here's 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: the President Trump. 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 2: They fold, but it includes dismantling the networks that fund 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 2: them and finance them. And we're finding out who those 8 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 2: networks are. We already know quite a few of them. 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 2: When you see these violent incidents and then you see 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 2: people holding this gorgeous sign with beautiful wood, beautiful cardboard, wood, everything, 11 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 2: everything's perfect paint job, and they're all the same. There 12 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 2: are thousands of them. You know that they weren't made 13 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 2: in the basement out of love. They were made by 14 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 2: anarchists and in some cases wealthy. I'll probably find some 15 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 2: of my nice friends that are up there being so 16 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: nice to me, especially lately nice. But it surprises you 17 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 2: who they may be, and you almost wonder why would 18 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 2: they do it? But they're hurting our country, and we're 19 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,559 Speaker 2: really taking it back one by one. If we didn't 20 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 2: go into Los Angeles early on in the administration, the 21 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 2: Commissioner of the Chief of Police Los Angeles said, if 22 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 2: they didn't go in, we would have lost our city. Now, 23 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: they already lost twenty five thousand houses to fire because 24 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 2: they wouldn't let the water come in from the Pacific Northwest, 25 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: which they should have done. I said her, you'd better 26 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 2: do it. They didn't do it, and we had twenty 27 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 2: five thousand homes where they had no water in the sprinklers, 28 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: they had no water in the fire hydrants. It would 29 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 2: have been a different kind of thing. If they did 30 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: what they were supposed to do. We had to break in. 31 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: We broke in and had the water come down. They 32 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: actually they said for the environment, great, they lost twenty 33 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: five thousand houses. It's incredible. But the commissioner said, without 34 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: the federal government and President Trump's intervention, we would have 35 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: lost the entire city. And we have the Olympics going 36 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: there soon. 37 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: I got the Olympics. 38 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: We have the Olympics, we have the World Cup, and 39 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: we have most importantly, we have the two hundred and 40 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: fiftieth anniversary of our country. That's going to be most important. 41 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: And all of these things are happening, and we're gonna 42 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: have safe cities. We're going to have very very safe cities. 43 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: So one month after Charlie's death, we still feel the 44 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 2: terrible shock and the pain of his loss. Like just 45 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: about nobody I can think of, Charlie Kirk was one 46 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: of a kind. He was unstoppable and he really was boy. 47 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 2: When he had an idea in his head. Oh, he 48 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: would call me, sir, please, you haven't done it yet, 49 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: said Charlie. Relax, just relax. He didn't relax it called 50 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: me the next day again. It got it done. But 51 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 2: he was like indomitable and always will be. He's really irreplaceable. 52 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: Nobody going to replace him, but they're going to do great. 53 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: But you can't replace that kind of person and that 54 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 2: kind of talent. Frankly, talent is an important word, but 55 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: that kind of talent. So we hold his memory in 56 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: our hearts forever. Every single day of this administration, we 57 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 2: will continue to carry out the mission for which he lived, 58 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 2: and he really did. He lived for this country, lived 59 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 2: for his wife and his family, but he lived for 60 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 2: this country too. In Charlie's honor, we will continue like 61 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 2: we have been, to fight, fight, fight, and to win, win, win. 62 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 2: We're going to win so. 63 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 4: Much so. 64 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 2: The Presidential Medal Freedom is a big deal. You have 65 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: the Congressional Medal of Honor military and the Presidential Medal 66 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: of Freedom which is civilian. And the Presidential Medal Freedom is. 67 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: A really big deal. 68 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 2: Very few people get it. Very few people, frankly qualify. 69 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: It's a decision of the president, but it's a qualification 70 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: that's a very hard one to get. And I would 71 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 2: like to ask if I might the military aid to 72 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 2: read Charles James Kirk's citation for the Presidential Medal of Freedom. 73 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Thank you. 74 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 5: The Presidential Medal of Freedom is awarded to Charles James Kirk, 75 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 5: accepting on behalf of Charlie is his wife, missus Erica Kirk. 76 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk was one of the most influential American political 77 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 5: figures of his generation. At just eighteen years old, he 78 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 5: founded Turning Point USA and grew it into the largest 79 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 5: conservative youth organization in the nation. For over a decade, 80 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 5: he tirelessly traveled the country, leading a movement to restore 81 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 5: respect for our founding principles, reawaken our national identity, and 82 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 5: inspire a renewed spirit of religious devotion. He was one 83 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 5: of the great debaters and communicators of his time. Despite 84 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 5: receiving repeated threats, he remained undeterred and modeled courage, logic, humor, 85 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,799 Speaker 5: and grace to the next generation. On September tenth, twenty 86 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 5: twenty five, at age thirty one, Charlie Kirk was assassinated 87 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 5: while addressing a group of students. The United States honors 88 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 5: him of a martyr for truth and freedom. 89 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: President Trump now handing the Medal of Freedom to Eric Kirk, 90 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: griddo of Charlie Kirk.

You are living proof that his mission did 125 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 6: not die with him. 126 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 4: It lives through you. 127 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 6: And Charlie always said the next generation will decide whether 128 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 6: freedom endoors, and because of you, I know. 129 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 4: That freedom will endure. It will, and today. 130 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 6: We're gathered not only to celebrate Charlie's birthday, but to 131 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 6: honor a truth that he gave his. 132 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 4: Entire life to defend, and that's freedom. 133 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 6: The very existence of the Presidential Medal of Freedom reminds 134 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 6: us that the national interests of the United States has 135 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 6: always been freedom. Our founders etched it into the preamble 136 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 6: of our Constitution, and those words are not relics on parchment. 137 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 4: They are a living covenant. The blessings of liberty. 138 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 6: Are not man's invention, they are God's endowment. Charlie lived 139 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 6: for those blessings, not as abstract words, but. 140 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 4: As sacred promises. 141 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 6: He used to love to journal about this topic all 142 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 6: the time, and with such a heart postured of gratitude, 143 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 6: and he believed that liberty was both a right and 144 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 6: a responsibility. And he used to say, freedom is the 145 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 6: ability to do what is right without fear. 146 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 4: And that's how he lived. He was free from fear. 147 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 6: He's free from compromise, free from anything that could enslave 148 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 6: his soul. His name, Charles literally means freeman, and that's 149 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 6: exactly who my husband was. 150 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 4: He was a free man. 151 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 6: And from the time I met him, sitting across from 152 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 6: him being interviewed on politics and philosophy and theology, anything 153 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 6: that Charlie loved any topic he loved, and I just 154 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 6: saw the fire in his soul, and there was this 155 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 6: divine restlessness within him that came from knowing God placed 156 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 6: him on this earth to protect something very, very sacred. 157 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 4: For all of us. 158 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 6: And he never stopped fighting for people to experience freedom. 159 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 4: He didn't. 160 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 6: Charlie often said that without God, freedom becomes chaos, and 161 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 6: he believed liberty could only survive when anchored to truth. 162 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 6: And I remember in one of his speeches he told 163 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 6: the audience that the opposite of liberty isn't law. He said, 164 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 6: it's captivity, and that the freest people in the world 165 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 6: are those whose hearts belong to Christ. 166 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 4: But what's so powerful is that Charlie. 167 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 6: Had the ability to communicate so brilliantly across all generations. 168 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 6: And he reminded us that in a world that tells 169 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 6: us freedom is doing whatever you want to do, the 170 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 6: real freedom is. 171 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 4: The power to live freely and to do what is right. 172 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 6: And in one of his journal entries, he wrote that 173 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 6: he wanted everyone to know that you can't have liberty 174 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 6: without moral responsibility. Freedom divorced from faith eventually just destroys itself. 175 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 6: And what's so fascinating about all of this is looking 176 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 6: back these past twelve years of turning Point USA and 177 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 6: his mission, there's almost this veil of sacred. 178 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: Stations along leshawn Annity Network. We're not going to take 179 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: the break. We can continue to bring you Erica Kirk 180 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: and President Trump Live from the Rose Garden. 181 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 6: Building a movement, one that called people back to God, 182 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 6: back to truth, and a movement that was filled with 183 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 6: courage and ironically, for a man who impacted millions, Charlie 184 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 6: never desired to be the center of attention. 185 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 4: Just wasn't. 186 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 6: My husband was not a man of extravagance. He loved 187 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 6: simple but deeply meaningful things. 188 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 4: Truly. He loved his late night walks. 189 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 6: He loved buying more books than he could ever read 190 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 6: because he felt there was no such thing as a 191 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 6: book budget. And he loved being able to read to 192 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 6: our kids the same bedtime story on repeat because he 193 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 6: knew it was their favorite, but to him, that was special. 194 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 6: And he loved to sit in the sun on a 195 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 6: Saturday morning with his cup of decaf coffee and his 196 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 6: phone was off because he was honoring the Sabbath, and 197 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 6: for him, it was that moment to catch his breath 198 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 6: and just be in peace because he was unreachable at 199 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 6: the moment and he preferred quiet birthdays. But that never 200 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 6: stopped me from telling him. I told him every single year. 201 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 6: I said, Baby, I love your birthday. I said, because 202 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 6: it's a day that God knew. 203 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 4: The world couldn't go another day without you. 204 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 6: And so the rhythm of our usual birthday celebration for 205 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 6: him was mint ice cream mint chocolate chip ice cream. 206 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 6: He only had it twice a year on his birthday 207 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 6: and fourth of July, and then after that who was 208 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 6: back to work as usual. But last year, his one 209 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 6: birthday wish was to see the Oregon Ducks play the 210 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 6: Ohio State and day won. Oregon won that night, and 211 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 6: it was by far one of the most memorable nights 212 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 6: of his birthday experience of his life until today. And so, honestly, 213 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 6: President Trump, I have spent seven and a half years 214 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 6: trying to find the perfect birthday gift for Charlie. 215 00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 4: And it's so difficult. 216 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 6: And those of you that to have spouse as or 217 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 6: loved ones, you know how difficult it is sometimes to 218 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 6: buy a gift for someone that you love. Because he 219 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 6: wasn't a materialistic man, so that also did not help. 220 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 6: But now I can say with confidence, mister President, that 221 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 6: you have given him the best birthday gift he could 222 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 6: ever have. It's such an honor and the recognition of 223 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 6: a life lived for defending freedom. And that's what Charlie 224 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 6: fought were until his last breath, And it was written 225 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 6: across his chest in those final moments on one of 226 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 6: his simple T shirts that always carried a message, and 227 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 6: this one bearing a single word freedom, that was. 228 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 4: The banner over his life. 229 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 6: And that shirt was a declaration, the same declaration he 230 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 6: made it every speech, every campus visit, every time he 231 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 6: shared the gospel at a church, every sleepless night, that 232 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 6: he would. 233 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 4: Spend praying for the youth of this nation. 234 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 6: And planning for the future of our country, and just 235 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 6: oppressing upon them that when we defend liberty, we defend 236 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 6: the soul of our nation. And my husband never told 237 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 6: anyone what to say. He never did. He never told 238 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 6: anyone what to say. 239 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 4: He would just encourage them to think. 240 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 6: He would encourage them to think outside of the traditional 241 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 6: political labels. He would want them to think in a 242 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 6: way that was anchored in wisdom and truth. 243 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 4: But he would never tell anyone what to. 244 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 6: Say, Charlie wasn't content to simply admire freedom. 245 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 4: He wanted to multiply it. He wanted to multiply freedom. 246 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 6: He wanted young people to taste it and to understand 247 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 6: it and defend it. He wanted them to see that 248 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 6: liberty isn't self indulgence, it's self governance under God. 249 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 4: He wanted them to see that. And every day I'd 250 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 4: see him getting ready for work. He'd put on his crossed. 251 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 6: Necklace, he'd put his ring on his finger, and the 252 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 6: boldness in his demeanor was ah hiss fearlessness. 253 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 4: He wasn't afraid. He was never afraid. 254 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 6: And his daily actions, whether an office or on campus 255 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 6: or at a church, it was always without fear. That 256 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 6: was his creed. That is how he lived out every 257 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 6: single day. He didn't fear being slandered. 258 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 4: He did not. 259 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 6: He didn't fear losing friends. I can tell you that 260 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 6: he didn't. He didn't care. 261 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 4: He stood for truth and stood for freedom, and he 262 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 4: did not. 263 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 6: Everything else was just a noise to him. 264 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 4: And it's because his confidence in Christ was absolute. 265 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 6: That's why there was no limit, no limit to what 266 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,959 Speaker 6: he would have sacrificed to defend freedom for all and 267 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 6: if the moment had come, he probably would have run 268 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 6: for president, but not out of ambition. He would only 269 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 6: have done it if that was something that he believed 270 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 6: that his country needed. From a servant's heart standpoint, and 271 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 6: Charlie lived only thirty one short years. 272 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 4: I was thirty two, but on this side of heaven. 273 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 4: But he lived. He lived every single second he lived. 274 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 6: He filled every single day with purpose, and he fought 275 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 6: for truth when it was unpopular, and he stood for 276 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 6: God when it was costly. 277 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 4: But that's what we're called to do. 278 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 6: Surprisingly enough, he did pray for his enemies, which is 279 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 6: very hard, but he did. 280 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 7: He did. He did no one else. I mean I 281 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 7: saw him do it. No, he never did it in 282 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 7: front of anyone else, but I can attest to that. 283 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 4: But he also loved people. 284 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 6: When it was inconvenient, and he ran his race with endurance, 285 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 6: and he kept the faith. 286 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 4: And now he wears the crown of a righteous martyr. 287 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 4: And for me and for our. 288 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 6: Children, the truth really studies our grief, because Heaven gained 289 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 6: what earth could no longer contain, a free man made 290 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 6: fully free. 291 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 4: To all watching. This is not a ceremony, This is. 292 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 6: A commissioning and My message is simple. I want you 293 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 6: to be the embodiment. 294 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 4: Of this metal. 295 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 6: I do. I want you to free yourself from fear. 296 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 6: I want you to stand courageously in the truth, listen 297 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 6: for the still small voice of God, and remember that 298 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 6: while freedom is inherited in this country, each of us 299 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 6: must be intentional stewards every single day. God began a 300 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 6: mighty work through my husband, and I intend to see 301 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 6: it through. And the torch is in our hands. Now, 302 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 6: it's in mine, it's in yours, it's in all of yours, 303 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 6: it's in all the students with turning Point USA. And 304 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 6: before I close, I'll share with you that I asked 305 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 6: our daughter what she would like to say to Daddy 306 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 6: for his birthday. 307 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 8: Excuse me, She said, Happy birthday, Daddy. I want to 308 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 8: give you a stuffed animal. 309 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 6: I want you to eat a cupcake with ice cream. 310 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 4: And I want you to go have a birthday surprise. 311 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 4: I love you. 312 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 9: That's what she said. 313 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 6: And while our son, he's precious, he can't yet speak 314 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 6: in classic Kirk family fashion, his actions spoke louder than 315 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 6: his words. And his gift to you, Charlie and myself 316 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 6: for that matter, was deciding to become the man of 317 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 6: the House and be fully potty trained at sixteen months. 318 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 2: Continuing the mission of saving America, as we return to 319 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 2: the Sean Hannity Show. 320 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: Hey, welcome back.

You got 326 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: the Republican candidate, Curtis Sliwa, who we want to be mayor, 327 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 1: who would do a great job. And he's with us 328 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: right now. Curtis Sliwa, how are you. 329 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 9: I'm doing great. They just picked lots for the first debate. 330 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 9: The whole country will be watching this debate on Thursday night. 331 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 9: And guess who's right in the middle, Mark Simon, who 332 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 9: fill of Johan Mandami to my left and Andrew Cuomo 333 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 9: to my right? Yours truly, Curtis Sliwa. 334 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: All right now, this debate is Thursday night. This could 335 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: decide the election. Mamdani's a very good debater. You are 336 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: a professional debater for like thirty five years. Cuomo is 337 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: a horrible debater. How's he going to do against you 338 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: two guys. 339 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 9: He's got to come with high energy. Remember that's been 340 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 9: his problem. He's low energy Andrew Cuomo, and he fades 341 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 9: out after the first twenty minutes or so. So that's 342 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 9: really his problem. My job is to tie both of 343 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 9: them together, because you have Andrew Como, who was the 344 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 9: arsonist who basically took this state down with his no 345 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 9: cash beare raised the age and closing prisons, and side 346 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 9: by side with him was assemblymen Zorhan Mandami. They agreed 347 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 9: on everything, and they agree on most things now, especially 348 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 9: when it comes to law and order. They're soft on crime, 349 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 9: they're pro criminal, and I'm the only one who's pro victim. 350 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 9: I mean Mark Simon. For people listening all over the country, 351 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 9: they're the Sean Hannity Show. We are now best known 352 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 9: in New York City for locking up two fast and 353 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 9: not locking up criminals. And I'm the only person that 354 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 9: can get it back to where Rudy Giuliani brought us 355 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 9: in nineteen ninety three. So if you needed to know 356 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 9: who Curtis Leewer is, I was the apprentice for Rudy 357 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 9: Giuliani for many years. I am Giuliani two point zero. 358 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 9: If people want to know who Johan Mondami is, there 359 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 9: was that songs by Shade Smooth operator. He clearly has 360 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 9: taken a page from the book BARACKA. Obama, the smoothest 361 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 9: of all operators. But he's really for people who remember 362 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 9: the worst mayor in the history of New York City. 363 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 9: He's built the Blasio on steroids. 364 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, build the Blasio's people are running the Mondani campaign. 365 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: And by the way, Rudy Giuliani has fully endorsed Curtis Sliwa. 366 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: Now you're gonna have to hit him hard in that 367 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: debate with some real knockout punches. Do you have that 368 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: ready to go? 369 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 9: Oh? Absolutely? Just to give you a sort of a precursor, 370 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 9: he's talking about free bus fayre. Half the people don't 371 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 9: pay their bus fan to begin with. As you know, 372 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 9: Marc Simone, I'm the only one who's talking about. Wait, 373 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 9: is they get there's fair evasion. We got to make 374 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 9: people pay their fare. That's where everything begins to dissolve. 375 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 9: That's why you had a billion dollars of fair evasion 376 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,959 Speaker 9: just in twenty twenty four alone, and the situation is 377 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 9: just getting worse. He wants city owned the supermarkets. Well, 378 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 9: I'm going to turn to zor Mondami Market. I'm going 379 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 9: to say, and how are you going to stop the 380 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 9: shoplift this from shutting you down like they shut down 381 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 9: most of the other stores in New York City because 382 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 9: the shoplifter is aret going to come wherever they can 383 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 9: steal the product. And I'm sure your store's or on 384 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 9: you'll have an easy pass for them to steal everything. 385 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, you know it was one of his people. Well, Curtis, 386 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 1: you get out of the race for Cuomo. Should it 387 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: be the other way around. Shouldn't Cuomo get the hell 388 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: out of the race. He's in your way. 389 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 9: Well, Mark, he already had his chance and he took 390 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 9: a dive. He admitted when he tossed in the towel 391 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 9: at the end of the Democratic primary at June twenty 392 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 9: fourth that he didn't run a good campaign.

He's not out in the streets. 394 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 9: He's not in the neighborhoods he needs to be. And 395 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 9: remember in June twenty fourth, when he capitulated the Zora 396 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 9: on Mondami then The drum beat was, Curtis, you got 397 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 9: to drop out for Eric Adams that failed New York 398 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 9: City mayor drop out?

Culomo gets slaughtered in the 489 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: primary Byron Donnie, and then they tell you only Cuomo 490 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: can win. It's absolutely ridiculous. But you when it comes 491 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: to crime, would you say that's going to be the 492 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: number one issue in the debate? Oh? 493 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 9: No, out, we need to hire seven thousand cops immediately. 494 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 9: They've been stripped of the insurance that every civil servant has. 495 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 9: It's called qualified immunity. We have to get that back 496 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 9: so that the cops don't fear getting involved in making arrest. Plus, 497 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,479 Speaker 9: our recruitment is dismal because the many women who work 498 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 9: police officers are never recommending any longer that their children 499 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 9: or grandchildren or nieces and nephews following their footsteps. We're 500 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 9: facing dire circumstances here. And I got to tell you 501 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 9: I've been doing this for forty six years. As leader 502 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 9: of the Guardian Angels, I helped save the subway system 503 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 9: that was crime infested in the seventies, eighties and nineties. 504 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 9: I fought the crack cocaine epidemic along with Rudy Giuliani, 505 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 9: the greatest mayor we ever had. I learned from the best, 506 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 9: and so as Rudy Giuliani two point zero, I can 507 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 9: do exactly what he did did so many years ago. 508 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 9: Rescue this city that is in dire need. The socialists 509 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 9: will destroy it. And Andrew Cuomo has said, if somehow 510 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 9: Johan wins, he's going to flee to Florida. What kind 511 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 9: of leader is that? This guy's always dropping out? In fact, 512 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 9: Mark he dropped out of running for governor against Comic Coal. 513 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 9: He dropped out when he feed an impeachment from his 514 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 9: own Democratic Party and ran to the Hamptons. The man 515 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 9: is not a for Augh. Fight to beat Zoran and 516 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 9: the zorn Easters and the Democratic Socialists of America, you 517 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 9: gotta go neighborhood by neighborhood, subway stop by subway stop, 518 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 9: get the voters to the polls, and that's how we'll 519 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 9: have victory on January January first, twenty twenty six, when 520 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 9: I get sworn into office to save this city with 521 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 9: the help of all your listeners. 522 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: Hey, yeah, go to sliwa for NYC dot com.

You know what happens. 532 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 9: It is the same thing that happened to Eric Adams. 533 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 9: He got Turkish money that went to Turkish businessmen in 534 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 9: New York City who then had straw donors make those donations, 535 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 9: which is illegal, which is why Eric Adams should have 536 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 9: gone to jail. So on Mondommi with his smoke this fire, 537 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 9: the Department of Justice should do a full scale investigation. 538 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 9: He's already admitted he collected thirteen thousand dollars of illegal 539 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 9: campaign contributions from foreign sources. Why wouldn't we do a 540 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 9: deeper dive. He's collected millions, Mark Simone, thirteen thousand may 541 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 9: just be the tip of the iceberg. 542 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the dive is being done by some people. 543 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: We'll see. Hey, we don't have much time. Have one 544 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: more question. Last time you had that debate four years ago, 545 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: Channel for they rid the debate. They said we're only 546 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: having yes or no questions for this segment. They're only 547 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 1: allowed to talk thirty seconds. How do you know they're 548 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: not going to do that again this year. 549 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 9: Well, I learned from that mistake of allowing the moderators 550 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 9: to dominate the discussion. Since I'm in the middle. Andrew 551 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 9: Como's position to my right and Johan Mandami obviously to 552 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 9: my left.

They want to 556 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 9: hear from the candidates. They want to hear our ideas, 557 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 9: our concepts, and most importantly, they want to hear good 558 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 9: arguments back and forth. And you know, the moderators, they're 559 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 9: constantly trying to break that up. Mark, I'm not going 560 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 9: to let them do it this time.

But there's 577 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: one of those wacky co hosts, Alissa Farah Griffin, who 578 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: said a while back, she said, if Trump gets those 579 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: hostages out, I'll wear a mega hat right here. She 580 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,439 Speaker 1: thought there was no chance, no chance that he could 581 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: make this deal, and she said, if he does, I'll 582 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,760 Speaker 1: wear maga hat. Well he did, and she's not wearing 583 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: the hat.

So far nothing, She hasn't set 585 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: a peep yet about wearing that hat. I predict. No, 586 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: she won't wear it. She won't do it. She won't 587 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: do it because then there'll be the picture of her 588 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: with the hat on will be used against her forever 589 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,439 Speaker 1: and ever, and her viewers are crazy wacky viewers will 590 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: never ever ever get over it.
