That man, 5 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 3: that young man, I forgive him. 6 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: Well, believers are seated. 7 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 4: If there's any in this room and across the globe 8 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 4: that would desire to receive Jesus as their saviors, Charlie 9 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 4: did as a young man, and that was in the 10 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 4: presence of his Savior. I'm going to ask you to 11 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 4: put action to your faith, and I'd ask you to 12 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 4: stand right now to receive the Lord. Don't be ashamed. 13 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: Stand amen. 14 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: For those of us who knew Charlie, and even those 15 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: of you who may never have had the chance to 16 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 2: meet him in person, we all know and experience how 17 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 2: Charlie spoke with a calm courage, not asking what will 18 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 2: God do for me, but instead praying, God, use me 19 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: for your will. 20 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 5: Christ told us in the Gospel of John, I have 21 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 5: said these things to you that in me you may 22 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 5: have peace. 23 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart, 24 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: I have overcome the world. 25 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 6: We're all created, every single one of us, before the 26 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 6: beginning of time by the hands of the God of 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 6: the universe and all powerful God who loved us and 28 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 6: created us for the purpose of living with him in eternity. 29 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 6: But then sin entered the world and separated us from 30 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 6: our creator. And so God took on the form of 31 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 6: a man and came down and lived among us. 32 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: And he suffered like men, and he died like a man. 33 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 5: But on the third day he rose unlike any mortal man. 34 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 7: And to prove any doubt or is wrong, he ate 35 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 7: with his disciples so they could see, and they touched 36 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 7: his wounds. He didn't rise as a ghost or as 37 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 7: a spirit, but his flesh. And then he rose to day, 38 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 7: and he promised he would return, and he will. And 39 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 7: when he returns, because he took on that death, because 40 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 7: he carried that cross, we were freed. 41 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: From the sin that separated us from him. 42 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 5: And when he returns, there will be a new heaven 43 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 5: and a new Earth, and we will all be together, 44 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 5: and we are going to have a great reunion there 45 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 5: again with Charlie and all the people we love. 46 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 8: One moment, Charlie was doing what he loved, arguing and 47 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 8: debating on canvas, fighting. 48 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: For the gospel. 49 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 8: Truth in front of a big crowd and then he blinked. 50 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 9: He blinked. 51 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: And saw his Savior in paradise. That was not a 52 00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: memorial yesterday, It was a revive. Winston church is a 53 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: man who saved England the United Kingdom as we know 54 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 1: it when he was made an honorary American by John F. 55 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: Kennedy in nineteen sixty three, and his speech at the ceremony, 56 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: Kennedy said, he mobilized the English language and sent it 57 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: into battle. There's a great story of Winston Churchill's funeral, 58 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: where which he had planned down to the last detail himself. 59 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: It was held at Saint Paul's Cathedral in nineteen sixty five. 60 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: It was an August moment, but it was a sad 61 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: moment because a big piece of jolly old England was 62 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: passing and he wouldn't be here with us any longer. 63 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: And there was a moment toward the end. Well, it 64 00:03:53,600 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: was the end where taps began to play and an 65 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: audible sob was heard over the crowd, not just from 66 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: his family and those who knew him best, but from 67 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: the nation. This was the end. It was a sad, 68 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: rainy day. It was a dark day for England. And 69 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: then without anyone noticing the bugler had been perched atop 70 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: the cathedral on the opposite side where no one could see. 71 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: Just as Winston Churchill had planned, Revere rang out. The 72 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: symbolism was not lost on the crowd. Taps signifies the 73 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: ending of the day. The dark has descended, our work 74 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: is done. Revere opens the day with the hope eternal 75 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: of what we're going to accomplish. That memorial yesterday turned 76 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: into a revival where Charlie Kirk in his absence, which 77 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: will be missed, it will be felt. But Charlie Kirk's 78 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: movement has only just begun in thirteen years. What he 79 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: built in his career has been in slightly less than 80 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: thirteen days grown exponentially two hundred and fifty fold or more. 81 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: The whole world stopped to honor Charlie Kirk, but more 82 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: importantly to personally mint to a personal revival. We're going 83 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: to talk about that revival. We're and talk about some 84 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: of the things that were said. We're talking about an 85 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: action plan for each of us individually going forward. But 86 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: I thought it would be a good thing if we 87 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: stopped for a moment, all these thousands and thousands of 88 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: new tps TPUSA Turning Point USA chapters that have been 89 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: applied for since his death. Who are these kids? Who 90 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: are these young people? And so we were going to 91 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: do this in the second hour. We're going to play 92 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: it now. I spoke to this young man earlier today 93 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: and he has applied for a chapter here in Houston, 94 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: in a conservative neighborhood. And this liberal, looney leftist tried 95 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: to shut down the chapter before it ever started, and 96 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: she has been ashamed out of it. But I want 97 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: you to hear this young man, and I think it 98 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: will inspire hope for our future to stay tuned to this. 99 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: So that's a good story. You don't like I'm getting 100 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: some kickback money from the cart to Michael Berry show better. 101 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: He's got the brains of the mules. As I started 102 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: getting emails and alerts from folks on the national scale 103 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: about something that was happening in my own backyard of 104 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: which I was not aware, and that is that at 105 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: Stratford High School in the Spring Branch Independent School District, 106 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:28,559 Speaker 1: some young folks, after Charlie Kirk's assassination, had applied for 107 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: a Turning Point USA chapter. And this woman, this liberal 108 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: activist woman who presumably lives in the neighborhood. She's part 109 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: of a group called Spring Branch Act Spring Branch Democrats. 110 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: Her name is Natalie Herpin that she had sent out 111 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: an email to a group of seven hundred and thirty 112 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: people trying to shut down this chapter. And I heard 113 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: from A Cory Morrow, the singer went to Stratford High School. 114 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: He reached out to me. A lot of folks locally 115 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: all the way up to the national level, said you know, 116 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: you need to know what's going on here. And I thought, well, 117 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: first of all, adults should not be getting involved in 118 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: kids organizations. If there was an act of violence and 119 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: you were stopping it, that'd be one thing. But this 120 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: is a group of kids starting a chapter and an 121 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: adult trying to butt in. This is the worst. This 122 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: is bullying, is what it is. One of the folks 123 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: who applied for that chapter's name is Jack Robertson, and 124 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: I'm delighted to have him as our guest. Jack, Welcome 125 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: to the program. 126 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 9: Howdy, missus Berry, thanks for having me on. 127 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: So did I hear you're a freshman? 128 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 9: No, sir, I am a junior at Sheppard High School. 129 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: You're a junior, Okay?

But besides that, it just kind of 176 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 9: motivated us to keep pushing and keep going forward, and 177 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 9: we reached out to some more teachers and got teacher support. 178 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: And that setback was that because of external pressures of 179 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: this this group I was mentioning, Yes, sir. 180 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 9: It was, but that's that's being taken care of now 181 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 9: and that's out of our hands. 182 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: And so what has been the response from your peace 183 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: years when they found out because Charlie Kirk has been 184 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: in the news, TPA USA has been in the news, 185 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: how have your peers reacted, if at all, to this. 186 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 9: So we've actually just been invigorated. I guess you could say, 187 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 9: you know, we've been inspired to keep going. We've been motivated. 188 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 9: We want to keep our heads up and just be 189 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 9: mature about it all of course, but we're just we're 190 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 9: trying to keep on pushing and get our clubs started, 191 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 9: and we've never felt more motivated to do so. 192 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: And what do you hope to accomplish with this? What 193 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: would be a success? 194 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 9: So with our club kind of a model or phrase 195 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 9: we're workshopping right now. I've had said earlier is inform, 196 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 9: educate and advocate, And what that means is we want 197 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 9: students to we want to inform them about knowledge of 198 00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 9: events happening in a local, national, and global scale. We 199 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 9: want to educate them on their rights, constitution, and the 200 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 9: importance of their voice and their vote. And we want 201 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 9: to inspire them to advocate for themselves so that when 202 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 9: push comes to shove or they're faced with discussion or setback, 203 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 9: they're able to stand firm and their values and their beliefs. 204 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 9: And we just we hope to create leaders for the 205 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 9: next generation. 206 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: You know you're supposed to be nervous to be on 207 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: the radio. You don't seem terribly nervous. 208 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 9: Jay No, Sarah, I've got some pretty good parents that 209 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 9: have helped prepare me well. 210 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: Folks know that my policy is I don't speak directly 211 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: to miners. I asked that the parents be brought in. 212 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: So I did have a nice long conversation with your 213 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: father yesterday evening last evening about all of this, and 214 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: obviously he's protective of his son and proud of his son, 215 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: but he was also eager that you share your story. 216 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: And I got to say, the fruit doesn't fall very 217 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: far from the tree. You must have very very good 218 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: parents because you said yes, Sir Indo, Sir, which puts 219 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: you ninety percent of the way to people liking you 220 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: before you ever start. So you've got very good parents. 221 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: I can already tell Jack, can you hold with me 222 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: for just a moment. I want to continue our conversation, 223 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: all right, Hang Tiger. Jack Robertson at Stratford High School. 224 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: The group that applied for the TPUSA chapter. There was 225 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: some outside intershire links. Our guests coming out honor from 226 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: Jack roberts Junior at Stratford High School in the Spring 227 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: Branch Independent School District, is part of a group of 228 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: young folks who applied for a Turning Point USA tp 229 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: USA chapter after Charlie Kirk was assassinated. They went around 230 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: and followed the procedures, got their sponsors, and an outside 231 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: group of liberal leftists activist Spring Branch Independent School or 232 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: Spring Branch Democrats tried to intervene, try to stop the 233 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: kids from starting a group which is just crazy to me, 234 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: just crazy to me. And maybe, you know what, maybe 235 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: this will turn out to be the first in a 236 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: series of challenges these young people will face and have 237 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: to overcome in order to be successful in their lives. 238 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: Jack Robertson, as our guest, Jack, what has been the 239 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: reaction of young people. You're a junior at the high 240 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: school to Charlie Kirk's assassination. 241 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 9: Honestly, there's been lots of reactions about it. I remember 242 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 9: I was thinking a quiz, so I wasn't able to 243 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 9: hear when it had first happened. But when I got 244 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 9: in my car after school, my friends that all called 245 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 9: me texted me talking about what had happened, and we 246 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 9: were all scared because he was a wonderful leader for 247 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 9: the youth and America. And that seems to be the 248 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 9: idea that many people have had, is how how can 249 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 9: we continue what he's started and continue his legacy, to 250 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 9: make sure that his death. 251 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 7: Does not. 252 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 9: Just stayed away. 253 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: You know, I think that's fair to say. You know, 254 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: I was a sophomore in high school when the Challenger 255 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: space shuttle exploded, and I remember it. It really really 256 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: affected me. And shortly after graduation from high school, the 257 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: Berlin Wall came down, and I remember, perhaps more so 258 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: than today, having a very heightened awareness of these major 259 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: events and how they were going to affect the world 260 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: going forward. And I think that this event is going 261 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: to we'll see what the reaction is. But in the 262 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: early days. I have to say it's an event that 263 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: twenty thirty years from now we'll still be talking about, 264 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: not just because of a trigger that was pulled, but 265 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: because of the awakening that occurred. Have you noticed that 266 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: young people are perhaps more eager to get involved now 267 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: because of this than maybe they would have been before. 268 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 9: I would agree. I think it's awakened somewhere inside of people. 269 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 9: I think people want to stand up for what they 270 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 9: believe in more. They want to make sure that what 271 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 9: Charlie stood for continues. They want to make sure that 272 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 9: you know, their voices are heard and that what they 273 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 9: believe in is not just going to get drowned out. 274 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 1: So, without disclosing where it'll be or any of those details, 275 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: have you all planned your first meeting? Have you had 276 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: your first meeting? When does that happen? 277 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 9: So once we get officially recognized by the school, which 278 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 9: we're in the progress or process of doing this week, 279 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 9: hope we're hoping to have our first meeting, ideally either 280 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 9: the end of this week or next week, and once 281 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 9: we do that, it can be set up. It's gonna 282 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 9: be great. We're gonna have a location, We're going to 283 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 9: share it to the members this can work out. 284 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: Jack. Have you thought about life after high school? What 285 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: you'd like to do from there? 286 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 9: Yes, sir, I'd probably like to go into business or law, 287 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 9: hopefully in Texan and university. 288 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: And do you have a Texas A and M history 289 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: in your family? 290 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 9: Big time, yes, sir. 291 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: And what would you like to study? Do you know? 292 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 9: Probably business or law? Those two speak to me. I 293 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 9: like to be able to have relationships and hopefully help people. 294 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: And in the course of your high school experience, is 295 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 1: there a course you've taken a particular teacher that really 296 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: awakened in you this sort of activism, this this desire 297 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 1: to engage. Obviously that comes from from your home life. 298 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: But has there been one teacher that you would say 299 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: that teacher really lit a spark for me. 300 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 9: Teachers not so much. They do a wonderful job at 301 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 9: teaching us, preparing us, but I haven't really been inspired 302 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 9: by them as much. The credit really goes to my 303 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 9: home life, my parents, my grandparents, the people around me 304 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 9: every day that have helped to raise me and make 305 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 9: me who I am. 306 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: Good for you, now, this case has drawn attention across 307 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: the country, a lot of media coverage, a lot of 308 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: influencer coverage, a lot of Twitter commentary.

I have put in a request 358 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: while we've been talking to see if that's going to 359 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: be public or private invitation only, and if it is, 360 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: I will announce it.

Fantastic conversation, Arion, Thank you 364 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: so much, Thank you so much. 365 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 9: Listen to the Michael Berry Show podcast and you'll be 366 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 9: the smartest guy in the room. Share with your friends 367 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 9: and you'll be the most popular too. 368 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: I'm always so incredibly proud of widows at their husband's funeral, 369 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: and when the husband is young and they've been ripped 370 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: away from the family. You can see in the eyes 371 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: of a woman her lost love for her husband, but 372 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: also a sense of fear and uncertainty because in a relationship, 373 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: a man needs a woman or a woman needs a man, 374 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: and she knows she's not going to have that man 375 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: there for her, and that in and of itself is 376 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: you know, my wife does so many things for our family, 377 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: for me that I don't know what they all are. 378 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: It's a bit overwhelming, you know, like tax day when 379 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: you still have it pulled together all your documents, don't 380 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: you don't know what you don't know. So in addition 381 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: to the purely emotional loss of intimacy, there is all 382 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: of that. To see Erica Kirk rise to the occasion 383 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: and to see a widow do that anytime, it just 384 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: it is powerful, is very powerful. Here's what she said 385 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: that with regard to revival. 386 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 8: Most of all God's mercy and God's love have been 387 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 8: real revealed. 388 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: To me these past ten days. 389 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 8: After Charlie's assassination. 390 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 3: We didn't see violence, we didn't see rioting. We didn't 391 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 3: see Instead. 392 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 8: We saw what my husband always prayed he would see 393 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 8: in this country. 394 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: We saw revival. We saw revival. I really believe that 395 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: in the loss, the earthly loss of Charlie Kirk, we're 396 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: going to see something that I think he would have 397 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: agreed to, and that is that he doesn't get to 398 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: be on the field with us any longer. But now 399 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: every one of us is going to step up in 400 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: ways we never believed possible. We never believed possible, and 401 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: that is so exciting to me. And I would ask 402 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: you in your own life. This morning on the show, 403 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: I had folks call in, and I had a fellow 404 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 1: call in and said, Hey, I've drank too much. My 405 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: life's not been what i'd like it to be. I'm 406 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: in my seventies, i still work, but I'm going to 407 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: go to church and I'm going to be a better person, 408 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: and I'm going to be a better husband, I'm going 409 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: to be a better father. I'm going to be a 410 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,719 Speaker 1: better Christian. And it was a beautiful message. And I 411 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: have heard from people throughout the course of the day 412 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: who as a Southern Baptist, we'd call it backsliding. So 413 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: at our altar call, which we would play to softly 414 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: and tenderly, folks could come down and join the church. 415 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: They could come down and express that they want to 416 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: be saved, and they could come down if they were saved, 417 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: but they are, they have that they've been a backslider, 418 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 1: they have lapsed. They can come down and rededicate their lives. 419 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,959 Speaker 1: And that was always a very powerful moment for me 420 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: as a child now I see it as powerful in 421 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: a different way because as a child it was it 422 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: was amazing to see grown men weep. And the reason 423 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: for that is none of us expected to end up 424 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: where we are now, and the opportunity at redemption, opportunity 425 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: at a fresh start, the opportunity put the left out 426 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: of your mind, put CNN and MSNBC out of your mind. 427 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: Some of you cannot do that. You are addicted to 428 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: it in a Stockholm syndrome way. But I would ask you, 429 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 1: what are you personally going to do in your life 430 00:27:55,160 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: now as a result of all this? Maryland on the 431 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 1: Michael Berry Show, Welcome, well, hello, welcome. 432 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 10: I'm sorry, I'm glad to be here. Thank you for 433 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 10: saking my call. I just want to say on one 434 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 10: hundred percent, one hundred percent. The other day I was 435 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 10: ironing one of my husband's shirts and he walked. He said, 436 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 10: and I have some back issues, and my blessed wonderful 437 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 10: that you don't have to iron my shirts. And I said, yes, 438 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 10: I do because I love you and I don't want 439 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 10: you walking out with a wrinkled shirt because other people 440 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 10: might think your wife doesn't love you if I don't 441 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 10: look after you and care for you like I know 442 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 10: I can. And on the flip side, he is I 443 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 10: chose very wisely or God provided is some one wonderful 444 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 10: for me. And he is worthy of honor and respect. 445 00:28:55,520 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 10: And yes, I vow to love and honor him. You know, 446 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 10: in the math now they don't. 447 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: Say okay, but I do. 448 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 10: If he's really against something, I listen to him because 449 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 10: he is the head, he takes the leadership role. Yet 450 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 10: I don't feel I don't feel oppressed or visused or 451 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 10: abused in any way. He listens, We talk, and I 452 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 10: love and I thank God every day I have the blessing, 453 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 10: the blessing of being able to serve him in small 454 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 10: ways and in big ways. 455 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: And I'm just getting I'm getting. I get pearid eyed 456 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: thinking about him. 457 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 10: And we've been married almost twenty years, and I just 458 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 10: want to say, that's what a Christian marriage is about. 459 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 10: You serve and you love, and you honor and you respect. 460 00:29:54,600 --> 00:30:00,239 Speaker 1: And in so doing you find happiness for yourself as 461 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: much as you give it to the other person. You know, 462 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: I have found that you you should not make yourself 463 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: vulnerable to the world. You you know, the world's a cold, cool, 464 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: cruel place. But you have to find people that you 465 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: trust and you invest in them, and when you invest 466 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: in them, you love without limits. And when you do that, 467 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,479 Speaker 1: it will be repaid worthy. People will repay it, and 468 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: if someone doesn't, then they are unworthy. But that is 469 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: also why it is important to choose wisely. 470 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 9: You know. 471 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: I know people that had a one night stand with 472 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: a woman and the next day they're ready to get married. 473 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: And sometimes it works out because it turns out they 474 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: love each other and they get along well. But it 475 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: strikes me that if you're looking for a true life 476 00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: mate rather than just arm candy are a good sexual 477 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: partner in the short term, then you have to you 478 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: have to be looking for that great investment, not the 479 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: perfect investment, because I think a lot of people get 480 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: hung up on that, but someone that you can trust, 481 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: someone that you can grow with, someone that makes you better, 482 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: and someone who is comfortable in who they are so 483 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: that they can round off your sharp edges. And you're right, Marylyn, 484 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: it makes all the difference in the world. It's the 485 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: most rewarding relationship after being a parent, that you have, 486 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: and it's the longest relationship that you should have in 487 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: your life. Thank you for the call, sweetheart,
