1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, we come to you tonight in sadness, but

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: also with grateful hearts because we know that your truth endoors.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: We know where our dear brother and friend, Charlie is.

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: We thank you that he is receiving his reward and

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: that he's heard those words that we all are started hear.

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: Well done. Who is a faerver?

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 4: Good Monday morning. It's so nice to have you with

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 4: us on the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got

10
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 4: one major story for you, but it's two different aspects.

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 4: The sadness around the passing of Charlie Kirk after his

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 4: assassination is now turning into love and churches filled with

13
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 4: people seeking a higher call and answers from God, which

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 4: is exactly what Charlie would have won it. We're also

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 4: seeing accountability for those on the radical left, the extremists

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 4: that have been celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 4: first I want to talk to you about my friends

18
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 4: over at Patriot Mobile. You've got a lot of choices

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 4: for cell phone service, with new ones popping up all

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 4: the time, but if you want to make a difference,

21
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 4: and you want to stop giving your money to liberal companies, Well,

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 4: one way you can do that is by getting rid

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 4: of Liberal Mobile you probably have right now. That is

24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 4: where hundreds of thousands of Americans are now coming together

25
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 4: and have made Patriot Mobile what they are today. They've

26
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 4: been in service now for thirteen years, and right now

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 4: is the best time ever to switch, because it's never

28
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 4: been easier. Now, before I tell you about that, I

29
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 4: want you to know why switching is so important. Because

30
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 4: every time you make a call, every time you send

31
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 4: a text, and every time that you pay your bill,

32
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 4: you're actually standing up for the values you believe in

33
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 4: your First and your Second Amendment rights, the rights of

34
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: unborn children, and you stand with our military, our veterans,

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 4: are wounded warriors, and our fallen soldier families. Because Patriot

36
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 4: Mobile takes about five percent of your bill every month

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 4: at no extra cost to you, you and they give

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 4: it back to these organizations that fight for our values. Now,

39
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 4: let's talk about switching. It has never been easier. You

40
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 4: can keep your same number, keep your same phone, or upgrade.

41
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 4: Patriot Mobile's got a one hundred percent US based customer

42
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 4: service team and literally they can now with technology, get

43
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 4: you activated in minutes from the comforty your home or

44
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 4: your office. You're second of contract or owe money on

45
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 4: your phones, no worries. Patriot Mobile has a contract buyout

46
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: program and this is how we win, folks by aligning

47
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 4: our spending with our values. Every dollar we spend matters. Now,

48
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 4: let me also give you a free month of service.

Speaker 4: starts right now.

58
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: Story number one.

59
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 4: There are two things that are happening right now in

60
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 4: this country because of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. One

61
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 4: is truly a spiritual revival we are witnessing right now

62
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 4: as attendance at church across the country in many places

63
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 4: was as high as it is on Easter Sunday and

64
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: Christmas Eve services. We are also witnessing a younger generation

65
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: who is now proudly standing up like never before for

66
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 4: what they believe in instead of being bullied into silence

67
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 4: by the radical left. We are also getting to know

68
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 4: the stories of Charlie Kirk and just how dedicated he

69
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: was to what he believed in. There's also a second

70
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 4: part of this story, and that is the accountability for

71
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: the radical left. We are witnessing now. Leftists who celebrated

72
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 4: Arlie Kirk's assassination are being held accountable, being fired at

73
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: a rapid rate, and conservatives are uniting to make sure

74
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: that these individuals, especially at high schools and colleges, are

75
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 4: no longer in a position to indoctrinate a generation to

76
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 4: believing that violence is the way to silence speech that

77
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 4: you disagree with. Before we get into all of that, though,

78
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 4: I want you to hear some truly inspiring words by

79
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 4: the pastor of Charlie Kirk and what he had to

80
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 4: say about Charlie, his friend and his passing. Listen carefully.

81
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk is irreplaceable.

82
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk is a once in a generation mind and

83
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 5: soul and anointing and heart. Charlie Kirk was a rare

84
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 5: combination of evangelist, apologist, and political strategist. One of our

85
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 5: most recent communications, he said, thank you.

86
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: I have a ton of questions.

87
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 5: I didn't ask for it, but I have become a

88
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 5: high profile defender of the faith.

89
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 2: I need to be the best I can.

90
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 5: I said, I'd be honored to serve for free, invisibly

91
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 5: as needed. You have an anointing to steward and it's massive.

92
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 5: Proud of you and pray for you and your family daily.

93
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk and I had been communicating. I was on

94
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 5: vacation with my wife and he was asking one week

95
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 5: could get together for a half day. He had a

96
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 5: bunch of questions about the Christian faith that he wanted

97
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 5: to wipe bard out, and I told him it would

98
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 5: be a great honor of my life to try and

99
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 5: serve him.

100
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: He told me that he.

101
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 5: Felt like God gave him this platform an opportunity so

102
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 5: that he could become an evangelist and apologist to the

103
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 5: next generation. He wanted to make it his primary message

104
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 5: and life work to proclaim the good news of the

105
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 5: Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is evangelism, and then defend

106
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 5: it by answering criticism's questions and objections, which is called apologetics,

107
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 5: which means to defend the faith. Charlie Kirk stepped into

108
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 5: a level of spiritual warfare that I believe moved him

109
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 5: to the top of the enemy's hit list and to

110
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 5: some degree contributed to his assassination, his murder, and has

111
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 5: martyrdom today. And I do not use those words lightly.

112
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 5: Those are entirely accurate and fit the description of the

113
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 5: demonic activity that we saw today. Charlie wanted people to

114
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 5: meet Jesus Christ, and he wanted to do the best

115
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,119
Speaker 5: job that he could presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

116
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 5: And as a result, Charlie was going to campuses and

117
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 5: he was proclaiming Jesus and he was answering questions. And

118
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 5: he was a generational master in doing what the Bible says,

119
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 5: and that is to give an answer to everyone for

120
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 5: the hope that you have with gentleness and respect. He

121
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 5: was a joyful, happy warrior. He had a great smile,

122
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 5: He was kind to his enemies. He tried to have

123
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 5: a good time, even when they were trying to give

124
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 5: him a bad time. His impact on this generation cannot

125
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 5: be overstated. I believe it is absolutely non hyperbolic to

126
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 5: say that he is the greatest conservative voice of this

127
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 5: generation alive on planet Earth. And one of the last

128
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 5: times I saw him was backstage. It was actually some

129
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 5: months ago, I believe, when JD. Vance was in town

130
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 5: and Charlie invited me to come meet JD in the

131
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 5: greenroom and hang out with him.

132
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: And I walked in with a big smile.

133
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 5: He gave me a big hug and he said, he said,

134
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 5: I need you to be praying for me, Pastor. I said, absolutely,

135
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 5: I pray for Charlie every day my wife and I have,

136
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 5: and for his beautiful family. He said, he said, I

137
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 5: think they're going to try and kill me. And he said,

138
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 5: if we lose, I think they're going to incarcerate me.

139
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 5: Here's a young man with a family who's willing to

140
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 5: sacrifice his own life and well being and the joy

141
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 5: he had with a wife whom he very much loved

142
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 5: and children that he completely adored for the sake of

143
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 5: selfless service and sacrifice out of love for others.

144
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: Charlie is was and will.

145
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 5: Forever be one of the most significant men who walked

146
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 5: on planet Earth in his generation.

147
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 4: You listen to Charlie's pastor there talking about how much

148
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 4: he wanted to prepare, how much he wanted to make

149
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: sure that he was prepared for the questions about the

150
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 4: Gospel about his faith being an apologist. That is how

151
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 4: much he cared about spreading the Gospel to the world.

152
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 4: There's also incredible things that have come out of this.

153
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 4: I'll give you an example of that that happened and

154
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 4: was just sent to me a moment ago. Jadie Vance,

155
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 4: the Vice President the United States of America, will have

156
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 4: the quote honor as he put out on social media

157
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 4: of hosting the Charlie Kirk Show. He said, please join

158
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 4: me as I paid tribute to my friend. Apparently he

159
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 4: will be doing this from the White House. There's also

160
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 4: part of what Charlie's legacy was, and it was an

161
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 4: important one, was making sure that the left didn't get

162
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 4: a hold of our children indoctrinate them the way they've

163
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 4: been doing it in such a radical way. And we're

164
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 4: now witnessing leftists who celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination are being

165
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: fired at a rapid pace. Those leftists who celebrate the

166
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 4: assassination of Charlie are now facing serious consequences, consequences of

167
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 4: sunlight after they were excited that Charlie was murdered. Others

168
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 4: are being identified and called out, then placed on leave

169
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 4: or suspension. According to a running thread that keeps count

170
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 4: on social media platform x as you know, we understand

171
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 4: how extreme the left has become, but what we are

172
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 4: witnessing right now is that there are many who are

173
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 4: dedicating their time to exposing far left radicals, and one

174
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 4: of those groups, Libs of TikTok, is doing a lot

175
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 4: of the heavy lifting when it comes to pointing out

176
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 4: how much violence and hate are still brewing on the

177
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 4: left regarding Charlie. A teacher, for example, at King Elementary

178
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 4: School post a video online appearing to celebrate Charlie being assassinated.

179
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 4: This person teaches your children. Any comments and guess what

180
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 4: happened when that was posted about a teacher at King

181
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 4: Elementary School. There has now been accountability. There was another

182
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 4: post by another teacher at another high school in Maine,

183
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 4: and what happened there? She said, we're not offering sympathy.

184
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 4: Moments after Charlie Kirk was shot. This teacher has also

185
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 4: been exposed. Republican activist Scott Pressler is also creating a

186
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 4: database of such behavior and encouraging his followers to send

187
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 4: him any examples that they see online. Another Pennsylvania teacher

188
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 4: by the name of Susan another high school. One of

189
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 4: Presler's posts made it clear this is a woman who said, so, yeah,

190
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 4: I don't really care that someone shot him dead.

191
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: F him.

192
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 4: This is another teacher teaching your children, and so yes,

193
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 4: there is some accountability for the radical left that has

194
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 4: been creating the these killers, these monsters.
