And another demonstration of that will 14 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: be held in about fifteen minutes from now up on 15 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill where Speaker Mike Johnson is set to hold 16 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: a vigil for Charlie. So we're going to get you 17 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: out to that in the minute that it starts, and 18 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: because of that, we want to bring in our first 19 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: guest right away. 20 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: He's going to be at that vigil in just a 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: few minutes. 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: He represents the state of Utah, Congressman, Burgess Owens Congressman, 23 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: thank you so much for being here. 24 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 3: Thank you Mandie. Looking for the chat with you for sure. 25 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: Likewise, and I want to ask you because so many 26 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: people think of Charlie Kirk in his political realm, because 27 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: he oftentimes had a lot of debates about that. But 28 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: more than anything, I mean, Charlie brought. I would argue 29 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: tens of thousands of young people to the Lord. 30 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 4: You know you think about Charlie. He was truly a force. 31 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 4: It's no question. It's only thirty one years old. I 32 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 4: had a chance to watch a interview he did with 33 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 4: Mark Levan when twenty six Wisdom. He's talked about Plato 34 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 4: and Aristotle. In John Locke, he talks about about his 35 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 4: faith at every step of the way. And because of that, 36 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 4: he had a humble spirit that's very very rare nowadays. 37 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 4: So we're going to look back and obviously we're going 38 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 4: to miss him. It's going to be very, very very 39 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 4: hard to replicate someone like Charlie Kirk because of what 40 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 4: he brought. But he started a movement in which people 41 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 4: are going to do the very best to be like him, 42 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 4: to have the same priorities. His message very simply for 43 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 4: young people, which is so important is go out there 44 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 4: and get married, have a family, build yourself into the 45 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 4: middle class, and give back. Think about that. And they 46 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 4: always have helping father as your light, your star, and 47 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 4: you think about that message. So many young people trying 48 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 4: to find happiness and they were going in all the 49 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 4: wrong directions. So his life is going to start a 50 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 4: movement that we're going to see now, movement not only 51 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 4: here in the United States but around the world. And 52 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 4: I think we should all be excited to know that 53 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 4: we can see it happening and be part of making 54 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 4: sure that his legacy moves off. 55 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 3: For sure. 56 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 57 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: And you know, I've seen a lot of comments online 58 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: about people who say they have not been to church 59 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: in years and in some case decades, and they are 60 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: going back to church. They're purchasing a Bible for the 61 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: first time in their life. Maybe what do you make 62 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: of that movement? Do you think that that has durability? 63 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: Do you think that this is going to bring people 64 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 1: to the Lord and it won't just be a flash 65 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: in the pan. 66 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 4: There's no question. And it's because of the country that 67 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 4: we are a part of. We've had a culture, a 68 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 4: society that's built on godly principles, and every now and 69 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 4: then we have a chance to see it real time. 70 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 4: I was forced to grow up in the time with 71 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 4: Martin Luther King, and I saw the movie that he 72 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 4: began and empathy, the outgrowk empathy that came from our country. 73 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 3: Because it's non violent of actions. 74 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 4: He would actually go into areas that people were afraid 75 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 4: to go. But because they're non violent, and people saw 76 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 4: across the country, they leaned in and they believed and 77 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 4: had a lot of respect for what he was doing. 78 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 4: Same thing was happening with Charlie h. His His message 79 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 4: was non violence. It was the idea of talking, of speaking, 80 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 4: and we the people, as we continue to talk to 81 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 4: each other, we will always find a better way of 82 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 4: going at it. 83 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 3: And that's what he was doing when he was when 84 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: he assassinated. He was doing. 85 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 4: What his mission was now is to bring people together 86 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 4: to have conversations, to be respectful and at the end 87 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 4: of the day, whether you agree or not, you at 88 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 4: least see a different way and you know how to 89 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 4: get in the future. So this is just the beginning. 90 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 4: We're going to be a part of it. And I'll 91 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 4: just say it's also a manda. The fact that President 92 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 4: Trump is our president. He's bringing back across the country 93 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 4: something called patriotism. We're starting to see all young people 94 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 4: once again being excited, being cool, to be loving our country. 95 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 4: And you put that together with the mess of Charlie Kirk. 96 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 4: This new generation, this genetics generation, it's going to be 97 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 4: a remarkable one for us and bringing our country back 98 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 4: in a very fast fashion. 99 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: Absolutely well in Congressman, I know of someone else in 100 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: history who supported civil debate and dialogue and doing it 101 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: peacefully and telling the truth, and that was civil rights 102 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: icon MLK Junior. And I look at Charlie's legacy, and 103 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: I look at the impact that Charlie had on the 104 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: young generation. 105 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 2: Is Charlie Kirk a civil rights icon on the in those. 106 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 4: Ranks, no question, Charlie, though, it's amazing. He's a little 107 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 4: even more so than that. And I've had a chance 108 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 4: to live through two different, very strong errors. One was 109 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 4: Martin Luther King when I was very young, twelve years old, 110 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,799 Speaker 4: I was in during a demonstration. 111 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 3: I remember the non violent movement at the time. 112 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 4: And then forty years later I had a chance to 113 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 4: listen to Rush Limball, someone who brought intelligence and smart 114 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 4: and dialogue and common sense. So I see Charlie has 115 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 4: been a combination of those two. The impact he's had 116 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 4: those that instead of just being on radio, he's actually 117 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 4: out there with the kids. He's out there communicated with him. 118 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 4: They can start to see a real person who cares 119 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 4: about them. And so even when they walk away and 120 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 4: not agreed with everything that he believes in, they saw 121 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 4: something that was touching their spirit and knowing then how 122 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 4: to have these engagements. So I see him really going 123 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 4: down in history as quite unique. 124 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 3: And he's only thirty one years old. 125 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 4: I can't say that and emphasize that enough to have 126 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 4: the ability to do what he did to impact our 127 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 4: country the way he's had and around the world at 128 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 4: thirty one years old, says that he was made for 129 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 4: this time, he was made for the mission, and he 130 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 4: fulfilled his mission of a remarkable way, and we all 131 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 4: have to be proud of the fact that he did 132 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 4: exactly what he came. 133 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 3: Here to get done. 134 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: Absolutely, Congressman, I want to ask you. You're in a 135 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: perfect position to answer this question because you're up on 136 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill with Democrats and I hate to say it, 137 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: but some Democrats who have spewed some pretty hateful. 138 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: And I would argue inciting things. 139 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: I remember not that long ago Maxine Waters saying to 140 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: get in the faces of Trump supporters at gasoline stations, 141 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: and Nancy. 142 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 2: Pelosi's had her fair share of re Marx. Of course, 143 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer. 144 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: Up on Capitol Hill, you have experience of dealing with 145 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: these folks. How do we move forward as two very 146 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,559 Speaker 1: different parties but under one banner, which is the United 147 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: States of America. How do we move forward when you've 148 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: got one side who is saying the things that they do, 149 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: and then when you have a result like we did 150 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: last Wednesday, Well, it's going to be. 151 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 3: Up to America people. 152 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 4: America people send to Congress here those who represent their thoughts, 153 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 4: and I think we can say and for those who 154 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 4: say that the same of both sides, it's not the 155 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 4: same of both sides. 156 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: We have visuals they do quite differently. 157 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 4: They are the demean I'm not talking to the leadership now, 158 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 4: I'm talking to those who are driving this agenda. They 159 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 4: are good people in the Democratic Party, and that's really 160 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 4: who's going to make the difference. 161 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 3: Good people have good hearts. 162 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 4: Who are seeing this uh seeing full time and realize 163 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 4: it's good and evil. 164 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 3: It truly is good and evil. 165 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 4: And anyone who says that that they are happy that 166 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 4: something like this happened good people will draw away from that. 167 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 3: They say that's just too much for me. I can't 168 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 3: go in that direction. 169 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 4: And my suggestion, my thoughts are they have a lot 170 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 4: more Democrats that might not become Republicans, but they'll become independent. 171 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 4: They will start to now look at what makes sense 172 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 4: for me, what what makes sense for my family and 173 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 4: the values that I hold tight. And that's where I 174 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 4: think there's going to be the biggest message and biggest 175 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 4: impact of Charlie Charlie Kurt is that we're going to 176 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 4: start having people listening, talking and getting away from the evil. 177 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 3: Marxist communist ideology that. 178 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 4: Has been had done so much damage to our society, 179 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 4: to our young people, and we're gonna start getting them 180 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 4: back now because they start thinking a little bit and 181 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 4: leaning into a faith, whatever that faith might be, is 182 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 4: one in which I'm not the end game. There's something 183 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 4: greater than me, and if I could just be a 184 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 4: good person, then I will be blessed by it. That's 185 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 4: the concept that Charlie pretty much put out there and 186 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 4: as we do that as a country, lean back into 187 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 4: our faith, family, the free market, hard work, and education, 188 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 4: we will find find out our space again in terms 189 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 4: of being a much more perfect union. 190 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. Does the media bear some responsibility in this? 191 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: Does the FCC have a responsibility to look at some 192 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: of these media organizations? 193 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 4: I would hope so the media is complicit. We have very, 194 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 4: very hateful people, and this is I think it's going 195 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 4: to be part of the legacy of Charlie Curtis, his talks, 196 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 4: his podcasts, his interviews of Balluminus, and there're gonna be 197 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 4: people are gonna listen to these messages and realize that 198 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 4: they've been lied to. But here's a good person, a 199 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 4: young man who loved his family, loved his wife and 200 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 4: his kids, loved our country and just always trying to 201 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 4: do is help us to come together again. And when 202 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 4: they start to see that, I realize the heart left 203 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 4: that Marsi's left has been lying to them. American people 204 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 4: don't like to be lied to. I mean, it's just 205 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 4: you can make mistakes, but don't lie to us. And 206 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 4: that's what's going to happen. I think as we started 207 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 4: to hear his voice and study his voice, and that'd 208 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 4: be part of our educational process. By the way, he 209 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 4: should be as we looked at Martin Luther King and 210 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 4: his record of speeches and talks and impact, we should 211 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 4: be doing the same thing with Charlie. And when that happens, 212 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 4: we're going to start pulling our kids back from that 213 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 4: heart left Marxist godless ideology because they'll hear Number one, 214 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 4: they've heard the truth, and they also know that they 215 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 4: have not folks have not been honest in the Democratic Party, 216 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 4: for sure. 217 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: Absolutely, you, Tah, Congressman Burgess Owens. We're going to let 218 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 1: you get over to that vigil now. We're going to 219 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: dip into that coverage when it starts. But thank you 220 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: so much for being on the show tonight. 221 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 3: I appreciate it.

But in the meantime, one 225 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: of my colleagues at this network, someone who when he 226 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: and I were covering things for Real America's Voice, often 227 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: times it was alongside Charlie Kirk. So the whole that 228 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: is felt in our lives is so very deep and 229 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: so gaping. 230 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 2: Ben Berkwam. Thanks so much for joining me tonight. 231 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 5: That's great to be with you, Amenda Ben. 232 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: It almost doesn't seem real every time I you know, 233 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: if I read it on the screen on my teleprompter, 234 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: if I read it in an article, if I read 235 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: it in a tweet, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and 236 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: it's still it still doesn't seem real. 237 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 6: Yeah. 238 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 5: No, I you know, every morning I wake up and 239 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 5: relive that, and throughout the day you think about it 240 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 5: and that terrible video. You know, it's one of those 241 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 5: things that I always debate whether it's worth watching something 242 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 5: like that or not, because it's so horrific you can't 243 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 5: get it out of your mind. But it's also the 244 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 5: double edge of that, it's so horrific you can't get 245 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 5: it out of your mind, so you're forced to deal 246 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 5: with the reality of what's in front of us, the 247 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 5: level of evil that we're up against, and not just 248 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 5: the the demon who pulled the trigger, but those that 249 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 5: are out there celebrating him. Now that that's what we're 250 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 5: up against. You know, it's not this this whole Kumbaya 251 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 5: come together unless you get people that come out and 252 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 5: say antifas on the left. We're already hearing this on 253 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 5: our side. But unless you get people on the left 254 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 5: coming out saying Antifa is a terrorist organization, they need 255 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 5: to be treated like a terrorist organization anyone who celebrates 256 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 5: the murder of any other innocent person and not trying 257 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 5: to somehow justify it as, oh, this is the you know, 258 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 5: this violence, speech is violence, and and somehow it's equal 259 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 5: to this other sort of violence until we get past that. 260 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 5: To answer your question that you're talking to Congressman Burgess about, 261 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 5: I don't see us coming together. I don't there is 262 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 5: no path to reconciliation when one side says I can 263 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 5: murder you because I don't like what you say. 264 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm absolutely with you on that. And so much 265 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: of this, you know, been the only word that I 266 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: can think of to describe these people who are celebrating 267 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: it is wicked, deeply deeply wicked, with some. 268 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 2: Very serious heart issues. 269 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: And I think about the story in I think both 270 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: Matthew and Mark where Jesus cast out the unclean spirits 271 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: and into the swine and they run off the cliff. 272 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 2: And I'm not saying. 273 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: That, you know, I want these people to run off 274 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: a cliff but I really want these unclean spirits to 275 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: be cast elsewhere because it feels like the enemy has 276 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: captured the Democrat Party. 277 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no doubt about it. We're in a spiritual battle. 278 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 5: This is a spiritual war, and you can see it. 279 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 5: You can see the demons. I mean I see them 280 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 5: every time I'm out of a protest. I see the 281 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 5: demons in their eyes. And this is who we're up against. 282 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 5: It's not you know, people with a slightly difference of opinion. 283 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 5: It's people that have demons inside of them that want 284 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 5: to murder you and your family. That's who we're up against. 285 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 5: And sadly, you have the coddlers of those people who 286 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 5: have rejected God and replaced God with more relative and 287 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 5: are at a point where they've slid down that slippery 288 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 5: slope where they're over committed to this ideology where they 289 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 5: can't even come out and say this is evil, this 290 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 5: is wicked, this has to stop. They're in this place 291 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 5: where it's moral equivalency. Well, Charlie Kirk hurts some people's feelings, 292 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 5: So therefore I understand their cause. No you can't. 293 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 3: You can't do those two things. 294 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 5: And so I agree, But I also you know, Amanda, 295 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 5: this is also about us as the church, the real church, 296 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 5: not the fake LGBT communist church that's out there masquerading 297 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 5: as a church. But the real Christian base who have 298 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 5: allowed this to go on have not stood up. You've 299 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 5: got a few pastors that have, but for so long 300 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 5: sat back and said, well, I don't want to offend anybody, 301 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 5: and oh, well, you know this, God's calling me to 302 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 5: preach in the pulpit but not live out in the world. 303 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 5: And all of these things we're starting to have to 304 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 5: come to reconciliation with and say something's got to give, 305 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 5: something has to change, or else we just say, you know, 306 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 5: we're just gonna let people murder us because they disagree 307 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 5: with us. And I don't think that's the case. I think, 308 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 5: you know, the one bright light. And I'm here with 309 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 5: a bunch of sheriffs and representatives from across America speaking 310 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 5: down here McCallan at this border summit, and everybody's talking 311 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 5: about it. And the one thing that I take away is, 312 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 5: you know, it breaks my heart for his family. That's 313 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 5: the biggest fear I have as a father and as 314 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 5: a husband, to leave my family unprotected. That's the fear 315 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 5: I have, but I also what's coming out of this 316 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 5: is the blessing. Unfortunately that the enemy meant for evil. 317 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 5: The blessings that are going to come out of this 318 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 5: are incalculable and we're going to be seeing this, and 319 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 5: I believe God is restoring. 320 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 7: I love what. 321 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 5: Sean Foyd said yesterday. They are revenge is not revolution, 322 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 5: but the revival in America.

And then they hated 334 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 6: him so much because he knew he knew he was right, 335 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 6: but they just didn't want to admit it, so they 336 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 6: ended up hating him, hating him, and they just killed 337 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 6: him for it. 338 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 3: What's your name?

You and I've been 362 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 5: talking about this for a long time. We are the 363 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 5: count we are the counter culture now. It was the 364 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 5: cancel culture trying to destroy us, and you know those 365 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 5: of us that that struggled through that, we are now 366 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 5: the counter culture. And there is this, uh, it's a 367 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 5: gravitational pull from young people that are sick of being 368 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 5: told what to think, what to do, that that what 369 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 5: they see with their own eyes. Is wrong that some 370 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 5: transgender person is the you know, the sex that they're 371 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 5: claiming to be, not the one that we can see 372 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 5: with our own eyes. And there's this hunger in the 373 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 5: younger generation to have meaning and purpose in their life. 374 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 5: And that's why we're seeing this. It's a shift, not 375 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 5: just a political shift, but a religious shift where people 376 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 5: are saying it's there's got to be more than to 377 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 5: life than this lie that I've been told that we're 378 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 5: just a clump of cells that's worthy of death and 379 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 5: and there's nothing else beyond that. 380 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 2: I want to get the rest. 381 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: Of your answer, but we've got speaker Mike Johnson at 382 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: the Day is about to start this vigil. 383 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 2: Let's tune in. Okay, So my my eyesight is not great. 384 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: I can obviously see speaker Mike Johnson surrounded by and 385 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: I see uh Leader Scalise who else. 386 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 2: Is back there? My vision is not good enough. 387 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,959 Speaker 1: But they are about to if you're just now tuning in, 388 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: they are about to hold a vigil for Charlie Kirk 389 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: up there on Capitol Hill at the Capitol. 390 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 2: And as many of you saw. 391 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: Dozens and dozens of vigils taking place over the weekend 392 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,239 Speaker 1: in cities across the globe. I mean, we saw it 393 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: in London, we saw it in South Korea. 394 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 2: I mean, it's the. 395 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: Impact that Charlie had on the world. I don't think 396 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: And Ben, I want to ask you this because you 397 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: know Charlie to us as a friend. Charlie is someone 398 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: who we used to cover the early turning point stuff together. 399 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: We used to have him on at Sea pack and 400 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: at you know, n RB convention and all of these 401 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: different places where conservatives converged. So he was a friend 402 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: to us and he was a colleague. He was a 403 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: partner at this network. And since he has passed, we 404 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 1: are seeing the insane impact that he had across the 405 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: entire world. 406 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 2: Did you ever, I. 407 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: Mean, I don't want to say I never saw it before, 408 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 1: because I did. I obviously knew how important he was 409 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: and how impactful he was and how big his legacy 410 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: was growing to be. 411 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: But I don't know if I saw it as this big. 412 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, And in some ways, sadly, I think it's magnified 413 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 5: because of this. Had he just had had the left, 414 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 5: just let Charlie grow into old age, he would have 415 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 5: had a major impact turning point. It has reached more 416 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 5: young people than any other organization. 417 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 2: Okay, speaker starting, So let's hang tighten real. 418 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 9: Speakation's capital sadness, of course, unspeakable grief that people have felt. 419 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 9: Many of the people here assembled in Statutory Hall today 420 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 9: were personal friends of Charlie Kirk knew him well, watched 421 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 9: his ministry and his organization develop over the years. And 422 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 9: then the sadness for so many of us turn to anger. 423 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 9: And there's been a mixture of emotions that included fear 424 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 9: on behalf of a lot of people around the country. 425 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 9: This heinous political violence, an assassination. Our friend Charlie did 426 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 9: not pass away in a car accident. He was assassinated 427 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 9: for standing for his political beliefs. And so it's for 428 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 9: so many of us it has felt as if the 429 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 9: ground has been shaken. And it's not just the people 430 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 9: assembled here, of course, involves students on university campuses around America, 431 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 9: and the over three thousand chapters of Turning Point that 432 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 9: are on university college campuses and high school campuses around 433 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 9: the country, and all of the people in the network, 434 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 9: in the conservative movement and throughout the nation that have 435 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 9: heard Charlie's voice and felt a part of all that 436 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 9: he was involved with, because he was on a mixture 437 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 9: of media and his voice was heard loudly and clearly. 438 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 9: What we do know about Charlie is that he would 439 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 9: not want us to be overcome by despair and would 440 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 9: want us to carry the message forward to honor his 441 00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 9: memory and to expand the legacy they left behind. I've spoken, 442 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 9: as many of us have, and a lot of memorial 443 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 9: services over the last several days, some in my home state. 444 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 9: We had one here at the Kennedy Center last night, 445 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 9: as you all know, but we felt it was appropriate 446 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 9: for us to gather here in the nation's capital in 447 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 9: Statuary Hall to mark the passing of our friend, to 448 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 9: share in a moment of reflection and a prayer together, 449 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 9: which we'll have in a few moments after a few 450 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 9: of the leaders speak here briefly. But I've summarized in 451 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 9: every public remark that I've given that I think the 452 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 9: best way to honor the memory of Charlie Kirk is 453 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 9: to live as he lived. And I've encouraged young people 454 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 9: to do two things. Advance his principles and adopt his approach. 455 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 9: The principles that Charlie stood for were faith and freedom 456 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 9: and family and virtue and patriotism and America, which he 457 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 9: believed and we all believe, is the greatest nation in 458 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 9: the history of the world. Those are good principles to advance, 459 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 9: and you honor Charlie by doing so, you honor your country. 460 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 9: But also to adopt his approach, because Charlie was a 461 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 9: happy warrior, and he was not angry at anybody about 462 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 9: any of those things that he was advancing. He never 463 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 9: hated anyone. In fact, in Charlie's own words, he was 464 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 9: motivated by love. He believed in the words of Scripture. 465 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 9: He identified himself to be a christ follower, and he 466 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 9: tried to model that every single day and everything that 467 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 9: he did. And as I remarked a couple of times 468 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 9: already this week, what I loved about Charlie the most 469 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 9: is though even though he could win any debate, he 470 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 9: never held it against anyone on the other side of 471 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 9: the table. To the contrary, he was the very first 472 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 9: person to reach out a hand, a friendship, or to 473 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 9: put his arm around the shoulder of someone who was 474 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 9: on the complete opposite side of the political spectrum philosophy 475 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 9: or ideology, because it was about the people. That's what 476 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 9: Charlie represented, and his legacy will go on. Scripture reminds 477 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 9: us that we we should not be overcome by evil, 478 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 9: but we should overcome evil with good. That is the 479 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 9: legacy of Charlie Kirk. 480 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 10: Well, Charlie Kirk was taken from us, way too soon, 481 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 10: so young. But yet you think about the impact that 482 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 10: this young man had on this great country. And frankly, 483 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 10: if you look in the last few days, you could 484 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 10: see the impact that Charlie Kirk had on the entire world. 485 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 10: To see the outpouring, as the speaker said, of love 486 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 10: and truly so much love for Charlie and what he represented, 487 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 10: and for the beautiful family he left behind. 488 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 11: Erica. 489 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 10: The powerful words that Erica spoke the other night hopefully 490 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 10: continue to show America and the world that Charlie's legacy 491 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 10: will live on and endure. What he stood for needs 492 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 10: to endure, because what brought Charlie to public life was 493 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 10: really first a concern that the ability to go to 494 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 10: college just to learn and to express your own ideas, 495 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 10: maybe even ideas of disagreement with somebody else, with the professor, 496 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 10: that those powerful ideas were being threatened on our campuses. 497 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 10: That was eroding that free speech, that ability to debate 498 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 10: in a civil way was being taken away. And he 499 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 10: wasn't one of those people that just said he was 500 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 10: going to complain about it. He actually vowed to do 501 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 10: something about it. It didn't just start an organization called 502 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 10: Turning Point USA. Charlie Kirks guarded a movement, a movement 503 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 10: that's going to grow and thrive and represent those ideals 504 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 10: that Charlie hopefully instilled in people that didn't even agree 505 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 10: with him. 506 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 11: You know, he was asked. 507 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 10: What he wanted to be remembered for, not something frankly 508 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 10: that young people would be asked, but he was asked that, 509 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 10: and what he said is I want to be remembered 510 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 10: for courage, for my faith. That would be the most 511 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 10: important thing. The most important thing is my faith in 512 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 10: my life. And you could see it when you listened 513 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 10: to him. It's what gravitated millions of people to Charlie Kirk. 514 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 10: And it wasn't just young people on college campuses. People 515 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 10: seize in veterans of political discourse were drawn to that 516 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 10: same message because it wasn't just about debating politics. It 517 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 10: was about expressing your faith and why it's so important 518 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 10: to be able to do that freely. And we can 519 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 10: never live in fear. We can never let whatever people 520 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 10: think drives them not to debate, but to try to 521 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,719 Speaker 10: resort to political violence. It can never be accepted as 522 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 10: the norm in this great country. It goes against everything 523 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 10: that our country was founded upon. In fact, the most 524 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 10: powerful notion of America was not just that our rights 525 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 10: are granted to us by God, but that you have 526 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 10: the right to question your government. You have a right 527 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 10: to question your leaders and then to do something about it. 528 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 10: And the way you do something about it is you 529 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 10: settle those differences at the ballot box. And Charlie truly 530 00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 10: believed that he led movements to get young people engaged 531 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 10: in the political process, and it truly has made a difference, 532 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 10: and that will not end. In fact, just judging by 533 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 10: the tens of thousands of people who reached out over 534 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 10: the weekend and said they want to start their own 535 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 10: Turning Point chapters in their colleges or in their high schools, 536 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 10: shows you that this movement will only grow, and it 537 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 10: needs to grow. But at this time it's also important 538 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 10: that we lean on our faith because we can all 539 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 10: question why was Charlie taken? Why are those two beautiful 540 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 10: young kids going to grow up without their father. Let 541 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 10: us vow that Erica is always going to have our 542 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 10: prayers and our support, that she's able, and she will 543 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 10: make sure those young kids know the power of their father. 544 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 10: They will always remember Charlie. But when we think about 545 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 10: our faith, I think about Isaiah forty three and Isaiah 546 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 10: forty three, the Lord says, do not fear, for I 547 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 10: have redeemed you. I have summoned you by name. You 548 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 10: are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will 549 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 10: be with you. And when you pass through the rivers, 550 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 10: they will not sweep over you. When you walk through 551 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 10: the fire, you will not be burned. The flames will 552 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 10: not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, 553 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 10: the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. 554 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 11: God bless you, Charlie Carky Man. 555 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 8: I want to begin by offering our prayers to the 556 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 8: entire Kirk family as they continue to grieve this unfathomable loss. 557 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 8: A wife lost her husband, two children lost their father, 558 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 8: A young, beautiful family has been shattered, all because an 559 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 8: evil coward chose violence over the discourse and debate. Charlie 560 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 8: so bravely champion the political assassination that took place this 561 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 8: past Wednesday was sickening, it was infuriating, it was heartbreaking, 562 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 8: and unfortunately, it was a horrific scene that we've witnessed 563 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 8: unfold too many times before. Three months ago in my 564 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 8: home state of Minnesota, another evil coward murdered state Representative 565 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 8: Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark in their home. He 566 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 8: also shot and wounded Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. 567 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 8: Last year, President Trump was shot while on the campaign trail, 568 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 8: and another attempt to take his life was stopped thanks 569 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 8: to the swift response of Secret Service agents. And eight 570 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 8: years ago, our own majority leader Steve Scalise was shot 571 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 8: while at an early morning baseball practice ahead of the 572 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 8: congressional baseball game. Let us all be clear, there is 573 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 8: no place in our country for politically motivated violence. None. 574 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 12: The assassination of Charlie Kirk wasn't just an attack on 575 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 12: one individual. It was an attack on the traditional values 576 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 12: that make our country this great country great values of 577 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 12: free speech, civil discourse, public debate, the ability to think 578 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 12: independently and voice your opinions, exchange ideas, and even disagree 579 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 12: with one another, but to do so without fear of 580 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 12: physical retribution. Charlie created a movement by putting these values 581 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 12: into practice on college campuses all across this country. The 582 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 12: fact that he got killed for it, and many Americans 583 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 12: consequently celebrated his murder, begs the question how do we 584 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 12: get so far away from the value our nation was 585 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 12: built upon? More importantly, how do we get back? We 586 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 12: live so chronically online these days that we forget that 587 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 12: behind every idea there's a person, and behind every person 588 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 12: there's a family who loves them and a creator who 589 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 12: instills into them intrinsic value. I firmly believe that Charlie's 590 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 12: death has providentially brought us to a turning point. We 591 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 12: as Americans have to choose will we continue down this 592 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 12: path of reckless vitriol and hate, or will we carry 593 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 12: on the legacy that Charlie Kirk left. I want to 594 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 12: end by thanking the Utah Law Enforcement NFBI Director Cash 595 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 12: Pattel for working around the clock to bring the justice, 596 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 12: accountability and closure to the Kirk family that the Kirk 597 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 12: family deserves. And we find consolation in the fact that 598 00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 12: while America has lost a true patriot on Wednesday, Heaven 599 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 12: gained a saint. While we will see Charlie again. 600 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 3: One day. 601 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 12: We will see Charlie again one day, and until then, 602 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 12: let's make him proud by continuing the work that he started. Well. 603 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 13: Today, we certainly mourn the heartbreaking loss of Charlie Kirk, 604 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 13: but we're also here to celebrate the enduring power of 605 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 13: his life's work. Charlie ignited a fire in millions of 606 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 13: young Americans, including my own daughter. My own daughter got 607 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 13: me to see Charlie's life through a different set of eyes, 608 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 13: an eyes of a college student twenty two, twenty one 609 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 13: years old who inspired her. And I can remember the 610 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 13: day that he passed. We were talking about it, and 611 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 13: you know, Ryan was visibly upset. It shook her to 612 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 13: the core, and we were talking about it and I said, 613 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 13: I know, honey, it'll be okay, It'll be okay, And 614 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 13: she's like, Mom, it will be okay. Not only did 615 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 13: Charlie Kirk inspire me, but he inspired me to not 616 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 13: let my conservative voice be silenced. Not only did he 617 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 13: inspire my daughter, but he showed a lot of young 618 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 13: Americans that love of country and faith and in freedom, 619 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 13: those are all values that are worth fighting for. His 620 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 13: example calls us to stand tall for the values that 621 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 13: has built this republic the freedom of thought, of speech, 622 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 13: and of religion. Our prayers surround his wife, Erica, and 623 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 13: their two children as we honor a true patriot whose 624 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 13: light will guide generations to come. May the Lord bless 625 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 13: those who mourn today, that they may be comforting in 626 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 13: the loving grace that only He can provide. 627 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 9: The members would like to invite everyone to join us 628 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 9: in a moment of silence, and then I'll close this 629 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 9: in a brief prayer. 630 00:34:31,320 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 11: Moment of silence. Please, I haven't the Father. 631 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 9: We come to you this afternoon with a mixture of emotions. 632 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 9: You know our hearts. You're close to the broken hearted. 633 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 9: That's what scripture promises. We have a mixture of emotions 634 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:19,280 Speaker 9: because we're sad. We're we're so deeply saddened by the 635 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 9: untimely loss of our dear friend Charlie Kirk, the evil 636 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 9: that took his life. The nation mourns, the nation is 637 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 9: shaken by that, and we're working through that emotion. At 638 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 9: the same time, Father, we have this sense of encouragement 639 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:41,800 Speaker 9: as well, and knowing that Charlie's voice cannot be silenced, 640 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,439 Speaker 9: that his message will go forward, that his legacy will 641 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 9: grow even wider than it might have otherwise, as he 642 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 9: was martyred for the principles that he believed in, the 643 00:35:54,440 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 9: principles of free speech and brotherly love, and goodness and virtue. Father, 644 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 9: we lift up all those who are affected by this, 645 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,879 Speaker 9: a nation that is in mourning, a nation that has 646 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 9: been shaken.

And the regime is doing 747 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 7: everything possible to try to see how they can stop it. 748 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 14: Within two weeks.

These are the belonging 755 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 7: to the mainly relied opposition and which I hadn't This 756 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 7: is the same. 757 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 14: Movement that exposed all the major nuclear sides of Iran. 758 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:43,319 Speaker 7: But Tevran had managed over the years to put take 759 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 7: away attention from the opposition and put it on the 760 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 7: regime or their so called moderates within the regime that 761 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 7: you can reach out and given, you know, concessions that 762 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 7: era must end. 763 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 14: And I have a feeling that the outside. 764 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 7: World has now come to conclusion both that there's no 765 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 7: path forward with this regime. Their goal is to maintain 766 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 7: their nuclear weapons program and continue to threaten the world. 767 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 7: And that's where the goal of the outside world overlaps 768 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,399 Speaker 7: with the goal of the people of Iran, because they 769 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 7: want to and the threat of the Iran gym not 770 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 7: just for the people of Iran, but for the whole region. 771 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So if I was the Iranian regime 772 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 1: and I wanted to stay in power, I would show 773 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 1: up next week and I would say all the right things, 774 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 1: I would do all the right things.

They 785 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 7: increase the stock pile of weapons, but also they increased 786 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,800 Speaker 7: killings against their own population. Only in the past six days, 787 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 7: twenty nine prisoners have been executed since Possession took office. 788 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,319 Speaker 14: Just last year, over. 789 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 7: Seventeen hundred prisoners, including political prisoners and women, have been executed. 790 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 7: So there's nothing that the regime can do to convince 791 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 7: the outsaild world because the time has expired on them. 792 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,239 Speaker 14: They have lost every opportunity. 793 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 7: This is the time for the outside boat to realize 794 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,240 Speaker 7: that both the people of Iran, the countries in the region, 795 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 7: and the. 796 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 14: Free world are opposed to this regime. 797 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:45,320 Speaker 7: There is an alternative led by a woman, missus mariyam Rajavi. 798 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 14: A lot of the you know, the thousands of rand 799 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 14: Americans are going to come here.

They're saying, recognize 823 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,400 Speaker 7: the right of the people of Iran for change. 824 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 14: That's really all it needs to be done. They present 825 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 14: Trump and all the world years. 826 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,400 Speaker 7: They need to recognize the people of Iran as the 827 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 7: representatives of the nation, not the mollahs, and they need 828 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 7: to adjust their policies based on that. Don't give them money, 829 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,319 Speaker 7: don't give them resources. Hold the regime accountable for what 830 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 7: they have done in terms of terrorism, weapons of mass destructions, 831 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 7: their missile program, and the killings inside Iran. The rest 832 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 7: is actually the responsibility of the people of Iran and 833 00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,800 Speaker 7: the organized resistance, who have stepped up their activities. Especially 834 00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,719 Speaker 7: in the past few months. The regime has arrested so 835 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 7: many members of the resistance units, they even executed. The 836 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,880 Speaker 7: number of them, they are over a dozen of them 837 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 7: who are a death row. None of those things are 838 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 7: going to work, But the responsibility of the outside world 839 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,839 Speaker 7: is to recognize them, speak on their behalf, and hold 840 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:00,879 Speaker 7: you accountable. 841 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,319 Speaker 1: Ali rosajfar as it At, the deputy director of the 842 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,880 Speaker 1: Washington Office for the National Council of Resistance of Iran. 843 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,840 Speaker 2: You guys do such great work.

That 872 00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 1: obviously makes it hard to sleep next to them. 873 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,120 Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, look what's going on today and not 874 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,920 Speaker 15: having as many kids today with the younger generation. I 875 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,080 Speaker 15: think there's more to it than just the quality of 876 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,880 Speaker 15: the sleep or sleeping in separate bedrooms. But there's no question. 877 00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 15: I mean, you know, we look at you know what 878 00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 15: happened with Charlie and everything else going on. People, When 879 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,439 Speaker 15: you don't get a good night's sleep, you wake up, 880 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,080 Speaker 15: you're frustrated, you're on a short vieuse, your temper goes quickly, 881 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,879 Speaker 15: you're upset with everybody, And people underest to me how 882 00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,120 Speaker 15: important the quality of the sleep is. I mean, it's 883 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,000 Speaker 15: a foundational part of the health. One of the big 884 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:19,120 Speaker 15: things that I notice a lot a lot of men, 885 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 15: especially talk about how macha they are, Oh, I only 886 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,360 Speaker 15: needed four hours of sleep last night. It's kind of 887 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 15: like a badge of honor. But the truth is it's 888 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 15: just the opposite. All studies show that if you don't 889 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,879 Speaker 15: get enough sleep, you don't get quality sleep and talk 890 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,120 Speaker 15: about quality versus quantity, because we all know people who 891 00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:42,400 Speaker 15: sleep nine ten hours, they wake up again still exhausted, 892 00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 15: They take naps during the day, and a lot of 893 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,880 Speaker 15: that is due to snoring. It's one of the really 894 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 15: obvious things that happens because when somebody is snoring, either 895 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,279 Speaker 15: you or the bed partner, you're literally being woken up 896 00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,000 Speaker 15: every three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes. 897 00:49:59,080 --> 00:49:59,960 Speaker 3: All night long. 898 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,719 Speaker 15: The worst part is you're not even aware you're being 899 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,319 Speaker 15: woken up, but you are, and that's why you're so 900 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:09,360 Speaker 15: tired and snoring. It's easy to fix. So it's got 901 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 15: so much going on, and you know, you look at 902 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:17,880 Speaker 15: pro athletes. Pro athletes now are so vigilant and so 903 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,879 Speaker 15: adamant about getting their eight hours worth of sleep because 904 00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 15: they know that's the best performance they're going to get 905 00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,640 Speaker 15: on their field, and their body is kind of their temple. 906 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 15: They need that sleep, and so the respect they give 907 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,400 Speaker 15: that sleep the respect they needs. So it's kind of 908 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,719 Speaker 15: if you want to be the best version of yourself, 909 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,400 Speaker 15: don't cheat yourself on your sleep. The good news is 910 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,759 Speaker 15: if you get that quality sleep, you probably will need 911 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 15: a little bit less sleep than you're getting now, But 912 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,480 Speaker 15: you're going to feel a lot better wake up. You 913 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,920 Speaker 15: won't need that extra cup of coffee. Really a lot 914 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:50,520 Speaker 15: of fun there. 915 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think a lot of people do 916 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,280 Speaker 1: realize the value of sleep, but a lot of people 917 00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,480 Speaker 1: they turn to medications like ambient or you know, over 918 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:03,400 Speaker 1: the counter sleep aids to deal with snoring and poor sleep. So, 919 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,799 Speaker 1: I mean, you're a doctor, what is your perspective on 920 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,000 Speaker 1: relying on pharmaceuticals versus using a holistic solution like siva. 921 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 15: Well, as a doctor, I'm actually anti drugs and anti pills. 922 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,960 Speaker 15: It's like, do you really want to make America healthy again? 923 00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,759 Speaker 15: Kind of you know mo and make America sleep again? 924 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,440 Speaker 15: You know, get at the root cause when you're taking 925 00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,799 Speaker 15: a pill, you're treating symptoms, you're not getting at the 926 00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 15: original problem. So what happens is you stay in these 927 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,960 Speaker 15: pills forever. You don't get rid of them. And the 928 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,480 Speaker 15: key is to get off of them. So get at 929 00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 15: the root cause. And that's what we're really looking at doing. 930 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 15: And you know, so for me, and when I invented 931 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,160 Speaker 15: the Z pod, I wanted something that was not a pill, 932 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,200 Speaker 15: that could get rid of the snoring without taking a pill, 933 00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,880 Speaker 15: making somebody feel better in the morning, giving them that 934 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,719 Speaker 15: extra energy and making that, you know, not theed that 935 00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,160 Speaker 15: you know, the third cup of coffee. 936 00:51:58,719 --> 00:51:59,240 Speaker 3: For the morning. 937 00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,799 Speaker 1: Doctor Bringer Greenberg, I know you've set a goal to 938 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,920 Speaker 1: donate fifty thousand dollars to the Susan g Coman for 939 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,879 Speaker 1: Breast Cancer Research organization. You've also spoken about the role 940 00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 1: of sleep in overall. Help help explain to us the 941 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:17,760 Speaker 1: connection between quality sleep and long term disease prevention, including 942 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:18,760 Speaker 1: things like breast cancer. 943 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,520 Speaker 15: Yeah, it's huge. I mean, there's a whole lot of 944 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:27,320 Speaker 15: different areas we hit out. So first look at hormonal balance, okay. 945 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,839 Speaker 15: Research shows that when you don't get sleep, it's disrupted. 946 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:35,360 Speaker 15: You're impacting your melatonin levels, your estrogen levels, your cortisol levels, 947 00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 15: all those play an important role in cancer development or 948 00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 15: keeping cancer from developing. You've got your immune defense, so 949 00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:48,319 Speaker 15: you've got again, you know, your body when you get 950 00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,239 Speaker 15: that into that rem sleep, the deep sleep, you've got 951 00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,880 Speaker 15: that immune surveillance, okay, and that helps the body detect 952 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,960 Speaker 15: those cancer the avalanche cells, get rid of them. Then 953 00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,440 Speaker 15: you've got cellular repair it's always important. And of course 954 00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:05,960 Speaker 15: the inflammation link. All of those tied directly in so 955 00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,720 Speaker 15: the way I kind of look at it, sleep isn't 956 00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:13,440 Speaker 15: just rest. It's nightly medicine, the immune system, you know, 957 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,719 Speaker 15: and your hormone, your hormones, your DNA, the inflammation as 958 00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:19,920 Speaker 15: well as your metabolist metabolism. 959 00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:23,560 Speaker 1: So it's not it's not just rest, it's restoration, and 960 00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,680 Speaker 1: that's something that can happen while we are sleeping.
