1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:01,560 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Center Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with 3 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 2: you and Senator Cruz and I. We just returned after 4 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 2: the funeral of Charlie Kirk. Today was I think maybe 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 2: one of the most incredible things I've ever witnessed in 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 2: my life. And I'm saying that going to memorial service, 7 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 2: but Centata, I think you probably feel the exact same 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 2: way that I do that this was a day where 9 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 2: I feel blessed. I feel honored that we were able 10 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 2: to be there to be a part of it. I 11 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 2: feel like I am watching a revival take place that 12 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,639 Speaker 2: is so much bigger than politics, and I think what 13 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 2: we've witnessed today was the start of something that could 14 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 2: transform this country. They're now saying over a hundred million 15 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 2: was the number of streams coming out of this event, 16 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: and well over two hundred thousand people showed up, the 17 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: majority of them without a ticket to go to the 18 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: memorial service. It was incredible. 19 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 3: It was extraordinary. 20 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 4: Man. 21 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 3: It is right now, twelve nineteen a Sunday night, early 22 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 3: Monday morning. You and I spent the entire day in 23 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 3: Arizona at the memorial service for Charlie Kirk, and I 24 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 3: got to say, this was a powerful day. It was powerful. 25 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 3: Number one, we were grieving our friend. Both you and 26 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 3: I knew Charlie really well. I talked to him not 27 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 3: many weeks ago. You know, I met him when he 28 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 3: was eighteen years old. And the last two weeks have 29 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 3: been a hard week. You and I both watched our 30 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 3: friend murdered on live video online, and the agony we 31 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 3: felt was felt without ipurbole, by millions of Americans who 32 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 3: Charlie had touched. So there was grief, there was grieving, 33 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 3: But I got to tell you, as much as there 34 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 3: was grief, and then there were certainly tears. There were 35 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 3: tears for Erica, the tears for his two children that 36 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: will never know their daddy. But today, the the atmosphere, 37 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 3: more than anything, was one of celebration. It was one 38 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 3: of celebrating a life well lived. It was one of 39 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 3: celebrating a legacy, an example. You know, I got to say, 40 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 3: none of us know when we will go. We don't 41 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 3: know if we'll be here tomorrow. We don't know if 42 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 3: we'll be here in ten years and twenty years, in 43 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 3: fifty years. But I will tell you there's not a 44 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 3: one of us who wouldn't hope to be remembered the 45 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: way Charlie was today. Yeah, I mean, what a life 46 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 3: well lived and what a celebration. And you mentioned revival. 47 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 3: That was a term that was used over and over 48 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: and over again by speakers today, and there was a 49 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 3: feel of revival. There was a feel, you know. I 50 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 3: saw the Babylon Bee had a story today about the 51 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 3: devil saying, uh oh, I went too far. And I 52 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 3: gotta say it is amazing. 53 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 5: You know. 54 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 3: Earlier today, Charlie Kirk's producer of his podcast sent out 55 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 3: a tweet and the tweet said, I was just told 56 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 3: that we have more press interest in sunday celebration of 57 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk's life and legacy than there is for the 58 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 3: Super Bowl. The gospel of Jesus Christ is about to 59 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 3: be proclaimed to the largest audience in the history of humanity. 60 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 3: To God be the Glory. And I got to say. 61 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 3: A friend of mine who's a pastor, he texted that 62 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 3: to me, and I just said, Amen, God is sovereign 63 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 3: and God is good. And look, none of us know 64 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 3: why God allowed this deranged killer to take Charlie's life, 65 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 3: to take it too early, to take it at just 66 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 3: age thirty. One, but I have to say it is 67 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 3: breath taking number one. I think it is very likely 68 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 3: that in the last two weeks more people have listened 69 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: to Charlie Kirk then listened in his entire life. It 70 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 3: has been amazing, the penetration and and and this was 71 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 3: it did It felt like a Billy Graham revival. And 72 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 3: and and the degree to which you know, I'll tell 73 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 3: you Friday night, I was at a youth summit in 74 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: Texas and two to three thousand young people came out 75 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 3: to it. The attendance more than doubled what it typically was, 76 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: and it ended up being just a remembrance of Charlie Kirk. 77 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: And I spoke at it. I'll tell you. At the beginning, 78 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 3: a pastor preached and about two hundred young people gave 79 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 3: their lives to Christ at a gathering. 80 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: Incredible. 81 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 3: It's incredible in Texas on a Friday night, and that 82 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 3: it was staggering. This you know, this was in the 83 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 3: football Stadium in Phoenix, Arizona. It's a huge stadium. People 84 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 3: started showing up at four and four thirty in the 85 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 3: morning to line up to get in. And if you 86 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 3: were there, I ran into people who were there by 87 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 3: eight am they didn't get in. The program started at eleven. 88 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 3: If you showed up at eight, you didn't make it in. 89 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 3: And the over one hundred million views is astonishing and 90 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: powerful and I think transformational. The Gospel was proclaimed to 91 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 3: millions today, and I think a lot of people in 92 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 3: the United States and across the world are listening to 93 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 3: what is said and are are moved. And you know, 94 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 3: I'm reminded of of Jesus in the New Testament. Gives 95 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 3: the parallel of the parable, and gives the parable of 96 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 3: sowing seeds, and sowing seeds is spreading the gospel. And 97 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 3: some of the seeds fall on rocky soil, some of 98 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 3: the seeds are eaten by birds, but some of the 99 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 3: seeds fall in fertile ground, and and and they take root, 100 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 3: and they bear fruit, and and not everyone who watched 101 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 3: and listened to the service today is going to have 102 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 3: their life transformed, but about I think an astonishing number 103 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 3: are And and I pray and I think you do too, 104 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 3: that that that revival comes from this, that that that 105 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 3: Charlie's death becomes a moment, particularly for young people, for 106 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 3: young people to say, you know what what he had? 107 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 3: I want my life to I want that kind of piece. 108 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 3: I want that satisfaction. I want the joy of getting 109 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: married and having kids and having a life where I'm 110 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 3: a husband and a father and and and I know 111 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 3: that that that that God loves me, and and I 112 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 3: have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. And I think 113 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 3: Charlie's life was a powerful testament to that. But I 114 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 3: think Charlie's death may have been an even more powerful 115 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 3: testament to. 116 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: That, no doubt. 117 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: And I want to paint a picture for people that 118 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 2: weren't there, so you understand. Many of you, we know, 119 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 2: I'm sure watched online, as we know from the number 120 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 2: of streams. 121 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: It's just incredible. 122 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 2: But from the moment that I left Houston, you and 123 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 2: I flew separately, and I was flying in to when 124 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 2: we touched down in Arizona, amazing grace broke out on 125 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 2: the plane and I was able. 126 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 3: To play that video because that video is beautiful, to 127 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 3: describe it, paint the scene, and then play the video. 128 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, we landed, and it was a organic moment that 129 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: You're a United flight. 130 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: United. 131 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is not Southwest is the best way I 132 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: can describe it. This is a United flight. This is 133 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 2: not normal on a United flight and it just started 134 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 2: and I'm going to play it for you because you're 135 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: going to hear the very end of what what what 136 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: I was able to witness, which was just incredible, And 137 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 2: I grabbed my phone out because I was I wanted 138 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 2: to just share it. And it was as we landed, 139 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 2: and it was just people singing, amazing grace on a 140 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 2: United flight number one. What a testimony to to everyone. 141 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: Incredible testimony from just a standpoint of the flight attendants 142 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 2: and in the in the the there was there was 143 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: I think it was pretty clear there was tears in 144 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 2: the eyes of one of the pilots when we were 145 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: walking off the plane and the people were singing, and 146 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 2: I want to play it for you, and it went 147 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 2: viral yesterday and then Fox News played it this morning 148 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,239 Speaker 2: when I was on. They put it up on Fox 149 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 2: News dot Com and it's hit millions and millions of views, 150 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 2: and that just tells you the power I think of 151 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: of Charlie's legacy. But but listen to this on the plane. 152 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 2: It was amazing. 153 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 5: For Charley. 154 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you can. 155 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 2: Hear it there and it was it was a moment 156 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 2: that I'm thankful I was able to capture on video. 157 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: But that was the mood. And I think the other thing. 158 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 2: You got up early this morning and you went to 159 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 2: the stadium to do Maria's show. I got up early 160 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: as well and was going to go do Fox beforehand. 161 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 2: The number of people that were at the stadium without 162 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 2: a ticket, that just on blind faith, because they felt 163 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: like they just needed to be there. 164 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: They just went and they were going. 165 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 3: To get idium at six in the morning, and there 166 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 3: was a line of people. It wasn't one or two, 167 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 3: it was a steady line. And you know what, it 168 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 3: looked like the Super Bowl. It looked like the Final 169 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 3: Four or if you know, any major sporting event, except 170 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 3: this was at six in the morning, and it was 171 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 3: a constant line of people just walking to the stadium. 172 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 3: They wanted to pay their respects to Charlie. They wanted 173 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 3: to honor his legacy. They wanted to give thanks, give 174 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: thanks for a life well lived. And and and that 175 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 3: that that was incredibly impactful. And I will say we 176 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 3: heard a lot of really powerful remarks, a lineup of 177 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 3: one after the other after the other. I will say, 178 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 3: by far, the most impactful speech was from Erica Kirk, 179 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 3: Charlie's widow, And and you and I we were sitting 180 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 3: next to each other in the memorial and we both 181 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 3: looked at each other and said the same thing. When 182 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 3: she finished, we just said wow, like it was. 183 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 1: It was. 184 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 3: It actually reminded me of years ago. If you remember 185 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 3: Ben Carson's speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, that he 186 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 3: gave a speech or the Obama presidency and it went 187 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 3: viral nationally and it it launched Ben Carson and it 188 00:10:54,640 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 3: it made him a national superstar. Erica's speech had had 189 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 3: that power. And I think for a lot of people 190 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 3: who had never seen her before that they were turning 191 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 3: on their TV, they were opening their phone or their computer. 192 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 3: The strength it took to give that speech less than 193 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 3: two weeks after you've lost your husband, less than two 194 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 3: weeks after you've lost the father of your kids, it 195 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 3: boggles the mind. And you could see her before she 196 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 3: went up, just stopping and just just praying, God give 197 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 3: me the strength to make it through this, and and 198 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 3: and and she was so openly relying on on on 199 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 3: God's strength. That's that's part of what made it so 200 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 3: unbelievably powerful. I'll tell you at the beginning, she made 201 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 3: a really important point, a point distinguishing what the reaction 202 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,239 Speaker 3: was across American across the world to Charlie's murder compared 203 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 3: to something like like George Floyd being killed and and 204 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 3: and the riots and everything that played out. Give a 205 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 3: listen to what Erica Kirk said on this point. 206 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 5: Most of all, God's mercy and God's love have been 207 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 5: real revealed to me these past ten days after Charlie's assassination. 208 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 5: We didn't see violence, we didn't see rioting, we didn't 209 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 5: see revolution. Instead, we saw what my husband always prayed 210 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 5: he would see in this country. We saw revival. 211 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 2: You know when she walked up there, I was choked up. Yeah, 212 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 2: you were, and I think. 213 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 3: Everyone the tears in their eyes. 214 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was how is she going to do this? 215 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 2: You and I had the conversation. I don't know if 216 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 2: I could have done that. And we do this for 217 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: a living. 218 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you and I speak a lot. 219 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's part of I think, just watching God work 220 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 2: in that room. I walked to that room earlier in 221 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 2: the day, you and I. You came back after Maria 222 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 2: and I left early because we knew it was just 223 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 2: there were so many people there. I abandoned the car 224 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 2: and walked a mile and a half just trying to 225 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 2: get into the stadium and seeing all the people that 226 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 2: weren't going to get in, and they were joyful, they 227 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 2: weren't angry, they were praying. 228 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: I saw groups holding hand. 229 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 3: There's a whole second stadium filled with people watching it 230 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 3: that we're just watching it on TV. 231 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I walked in. 232 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 2: I finally got inside and was meeting one of the 233 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 2: Fox producers to get down to the risers, and they 234 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 2: were singing the worship music that you and I hear 235 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 2: at church when we go on Sundays before the pastor speaks. 236 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 2: I literally on Fox, and I'm not a crier, but 237 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 2: like talking about now it's even because this has been 238 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: an incredible and a sad but amazing day. I told 239 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 2: them on air. I was like, I've never felt in 240 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 2: my life the Holy Spirit's presence and the way that 241 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 2: I felt it today. Ever, and I'm forty three and 242 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 2: I've been to some pretty cool, amazing Christian events, promise 243 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 2: keepers and different things that you've been to. It was 244 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 2: a feeling I will never forget. And it was very 245 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 2: clear that God's presence were there. And if you were 246 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 2: in that room, and I hope if you were watching 247 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 2: it on TV, you felt it too, because what she 248 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 2: was able to do was by the grace of God, 249 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 2: who gave her the power and the strength to do it, 250 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 2: because on your own no one could do that. 251 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely that There was one portion of her speech 252 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 3: that I think will go down as the most memorable, 253 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 3: the most consequential, and the most profound. And I want 254 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 3: you to just just to listen to it, because, to 255 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 3: be honest, if you heard nothing else that happened today 256 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 3: at Charlie Kirk's memorial, Sir at her service, hear these 257 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 3: two minutes, because this was the entirety of the service 258 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 3: boiled down in two minutes. 259 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 5: My husband, Charlie, he wanted to save young men just 260 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 5: like the one who took his life, that young man. 261 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: That young man on the cross. 262 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 5: Our Savior said, Father, forgive them, for they not know 263 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 5: what they do. 264 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 4: That man, that young man, I forgive him. 265 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 5: I forgive him because it was what Christ did and 266 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 5: is what Charlie would do. The answer to hate is 267 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 5: not hate. The answer we know from the Gospel is 268 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 5: love and always love, love for our enemies, and love 269 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 5: for those who persecute us. 270 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 2: You and I were there on the second row watching 271 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 2: those words, and you and I talked about it afterwards. 272 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 2: I don't know if I could have done that that quickly. 273 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 2: I know God says that we're supposed to forgive those 274 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 2: who have wronged us. But you want to talk about 275 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 2: a ministry to the world in that moment. If you 276 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 2: are not a Christian, you have to be asking yourself 277 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 2: a question. What is it that she has that I 278 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 2: don't How could she forgive in this moment? And why 279 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 2: would Charlie want her to forgive? Give after what happened 280 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 2: to Charlie. It doesn't mean that we don't want justice, 281 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 2: but wow, look. 282 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 3: When when she said that I had tears in my eyes, 283 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 3: you had tears in your eyes. Every one of us 284 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 3: one hundred thousand people had tears in her eyes. And 285 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 3: when she started on that, when she referenced Jesus on 286 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 3: the Cross, I d I knew where it was going, 287 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 3: and I knew what she was planning to say, and 288 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 3: I act she was holding my breath for because look, you 289 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 3: just you and I both had this conversation spontaneously walking out. 290 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 3: I I I to be honest, I don't think I 291 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 3: could say that I I I would want to, it 292 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 3: would be the right thing to do to do. I like, 293 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 3: I cannot imagine being in the situation she is in 294 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 3: and getting those words out, not just breaking down, not 295 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 3: breaking down with rage, breaking down with tears and in 296 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 3: it was. It was the Holy Spirit that helped her 297 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 3: get that out, because there's no there is not a 298 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 3: human strength that can say that. And one of the 299 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 3: amazing things. I mean, we talked a minute ago about 300 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 3: this being one of, if not the largest presentation of 301 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 3: the Gospel in history. What you just said, you and 302 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 3: I talked about there are millions of people who watch 303 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 3: this who are not Christians who have to have said, 304 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 3: where did that come from? I don't understand why would 305 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 3: you forgive someone who murdered your husband? Yeah, and that 306 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 3: I hope and pray and believe that it caused many 307 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 3: people to say, you know, maybe I should ask a 308 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 3: few more questions about about Jesus. Maybe I should go 309 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 3: read the Bible. Maybe did Jesus really say on the cross, Father, 310 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 3: forgive them for they know not what they do? Why 311 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 3: would he say that when they were murdering him? That's 312 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 3: what Jesus said, is he was nailed to the cross 313 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 3: as he was hanging there dying. Yeah, Jesus asked God 314 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 3: to forgive the people who killed him, and it was 315 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 3: you know, I'll tell you. I saw on Twitter a 316 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 3: tweet from a woman named Sanna Ibrahemi, and I don't 317 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 3: don't know her, but this, this tweet struck struck me. 318 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna read it to you. I retweeted it. 319 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 3: I listened to Erica Kirk's full speech at the memorial, 320 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 3: and I want to share a few thoughts that came 321 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 3: to me while live streaming the event. This is not political. First, 322 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 3: I should say that I grew up as a Muslim 323 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 3: in a Muslim country. I don't know enough about Christianity 324 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 3: to say if what I witnessed is rooted in faith 325 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 3: or culture. But what struck me most is how, even 326 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 3: though death is heavy and this was by nature a 327 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 3: sad occasion, the entire event carried a celebratory spirit that 328 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 3: honored life. That contrast hit me deeply. In Islam, even 329 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 3: though we believe that good people go to heaven, the 330 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 3: relationship with God is taught through fear. Funerals are overwhelmingly sad, 331 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: often filled with warnings of the terrifying first night in 332 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 3: the grave. Growing up hearing that and then witnessing people's 333 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 3: celebrate life, speak of God's love and remember some one 334 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 3: through the impact he had on others, it felt so 335 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 3: refreshing and positive. Second, I was profoundly moved by Erica 336 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 3: Kirk's words. I cannot fathom the strength it takes to 337 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 3: stand and deliver such a meaningful speech after losing the 338 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 3: love of your life, but even more than that, the 339 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 3: grace it takes to forgive the very person who destroyed 340 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 3: your world. I cannot imagine myself standing on a stage 341 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 3: sending love to those who cheered your husband's murder, or 342 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 3: inviting others to spread God's love in response, because, as 343 00:21:54,040 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 3: she said, we do not respond to hate with hate. 344 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 3: That is powerful beyond words. Again, I am ignorant when 345 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 3: it comes to Christianity, but if this is what it 346 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 3: truly embodies, then I'm envious of those who get to 347 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:18,959 Speaker 3: experience that feeling. I think this young lady is not alone, 348 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 3: and I think that message touched millions, and I got 349 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 3: to say it was an incredible privilege to be there 350 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 3: and witness it firsthand and be part of I think, 351 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 3: what is a significant moment in the history of America 352 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 3: and maybe the history of the world. 353 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 2: One of the things I think that is so cool 354 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 2: that came out of this that is just something that 355 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 2: no one could have planned, is how many people are 356 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 2: now sharing their own faith and sharing the gospel. You 357 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 2: and I have talked more about our faith on this 358 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 2: podcast in the last two weeks than we have ever before. 359 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 2: And it's not that we're to talk about our faith, 360 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 2: but we talk a lot about what's happening in the 361 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 2: world in politics. 362 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 1: JD Vance said. 363 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 3: Yea, and that was something really profound. JD said as 364 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 3: he said that he often felt uncomfortable talking about faith, 365 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 3: and he made the same comment that he's talked more 366 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 3: about faith in the last two weeks than he has 367 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 3: probably in his entire life. 368 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: And I mean even this morning. 369 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 2: I had two times I was on Fox this morning 370 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 2: before the before it started, and the entire conversation was 371 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 2: not about politics. 372 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: The entire conversation was about faith. 373 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, that his life being taken has given the opportunity 374 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 2: for all of us to share faith, and I think 375 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 2: in a more bold way, in a more proud way, 376 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 2: and a more I'm not afraid to share my faith. 377 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 2: I think sometimes I think I'm in the world of politics, 378 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 2: and that's maybe not my place to be doing that 379 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 2: as much. I'm going to change my mentality on that, 380 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 2: I think forever moving forward. 381 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 3: And I can think of a very few sentiments that 382 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 3: would make Charlie happier than that. 383 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was the whole time. It was about faith. 384 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 2: If you look at today, I also think one of 385 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 2: the most incredible things was you and I were sitting 386 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 2: there with the most powerful people in the world, certainly 387 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 2: in the conservative movement where we're all in the political world, 388 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 2: and the entire thing was about God. I've never seen 389 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 2: that before. I've never been a part. 390 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: Of that before. 391 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 6: No, And. 392 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 3: At the very end, President Trump spoke and he gave 393 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 3: I think, very good remarks. But I want you to 394 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 3: listen to what he said, in particular about Erica and 395 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 3: her testimony. Here here, give a listen. 396 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 6: Did Charlie's incredible and beautiful widow, Erica. We know the 397 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 6: weight of this monumental loss is almost unbearable, But even 398 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 6: in the midst of heartache, pain too great to even fathom, 399 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 6: you have somehow found the strength and deep faith to 400 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 6: be a comfort to millions and millions of people. And 401 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 6: thank you very much, Erica, Thank you very much. 402 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 2: You and I have seen Donald Trump give a lot 403 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 2: of speeches. This was one of the most I think, somber, 404 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 2: sincere and one of the most incredible speeches I think 405 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 2: by Donald Trump that had nothing to really do with him. 406 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 3: Well, and President Trump knew Charlie, Well, Charlie has spent 407 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 3: a lot lot He's rattled by it. Charlie, Charlie in 408 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 3: the twenty sixteen campaign was Don Junior's body man. He 409 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 3: traveled with Don Junior all over the country. And Charlie 410 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 3: helped mobilize young people for the twenty sixteen election. He 411 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 3: helped mobilize young people for the twenty twenty election. He 412 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 3: played a really, really integral part in the victory in 413 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. And President Trump has spent a lot 414 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 3: of time with Charlie Kirk. Just about everyone in the 415 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 3: White House has. I mean, it was one of the 416 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 3: things the entire White House has shaken. This is not 417 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 3: some distant person they don't know. This touched almost everyone 418 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 3: who works in the Trump administration had connections to Charlie, 419 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 3: had personal connections, and they were shaken by it. And 420 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 3: you know, one of the bits of news that broke 421 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 3: this week that I thought it was a small snippet, 422 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 3: but it encapsulated who Charlie was well, and Van Jones, 423 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 3: you and I both know well he's very much a 424 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 3: man of the left, maybe even far left. He's not 425 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 3: someone who you would typically envision saying nice things about 426 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk. But I want you to listen to what 427 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 3: he said in the last few days about his last 428 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 3: interaction with Charlie Kirk. 429 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 7: Charlie Kirk and I were not friends at all. In fact, 430 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 7: the last week of his life, we were beef and hard, 431 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 7: beefing online, beefing on air. But the day before he died, 432 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,239 Speaker 7: he did so and that shocked me. He sent me 433 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 7: a personal message calling for personal dialogue, wanted me to 434 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 7: come on the show. He said we can be a 435 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 7: gentlemen together. He said we could deal with our disagreements agreeably. 436 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 7: And in the past week and a half, just watching 437 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 7: people talk about civil wars and censorship and all this 438 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 7: stuff coming out of his death, I just thought it 439 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 7: was important to let people know don't put that on 440 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 7: Charlie Kirk, because the last day of his life he 441 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 7: was reaching out to have not more censorship, more conversation, 442 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 7: more dialogue with somebody who honestly was one of his adversaries. 443 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 7: Me and I just wanted to share that with the world, 444 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 7: and I hope that maybe it might help somebody on 445 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 7: both sides deal with issues more like he did. 446 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 2: Then putting that out there immediately brought me to today. 447 00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 2: You and I were sitting there and we looked over 448 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 2: to the right of us, and you leaned over and 449 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 2: you said, there's Elon. And several weeks or months ago, 450 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 2: Charlie had said that he wanted Donald Trump and Elon 451 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 2: to make up. We then a few minutes later see 452 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 2: Elon in the box with President Trump. They hugged the President, 453 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 2: patted him on the chest, and he tweeted out a 454 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 2: picture Elon did of them talking, and all it said 455 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 2: was for Charlie, I mean, you want to talk about 456 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 2: bringing people back together. 457 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: That's incredible. 458 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 3: I will say I respect Van Jones for putting that out. 459 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 3: You know Van better than I do. But he didn't 460 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 3: have to put that out. He didn't have to say that. 461 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 3: And I do think it reflects who Charlie was, and 462 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 3: I think the entire memorial today reflected. It was a 463 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 3: celebration of his life, and it was a proclamation of 464 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 3: the gospel and that I'm really grateful to have been 465 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 3: friends with Charlie. I'm really grateful to have a chance 466 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 3: to be there for the celebration because I think it 467 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 3: is going to have really profound impacts on our country. 468 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 2: I think we're gonna end up finding out down the 469 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 2: road that today was one of the biggest days, not 470 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 2: in politics with the biggest people in politics in a room, 471 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 2: but one of the biggest days for young men and 472 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 2: women accepting Christ and learning about the Lord from this 473 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 2: horrific moment in our history. And I think you look 474 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 2: at that bring all these people together, the way that 475 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 2: he was doing it. I think it's going to change 476 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 2: the way we have dialogue and conversation. I think my 477 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 2: demeanor's probably gonna be different. I'm still going to fight 478 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 2: the good fight, and I'm still gonna fight hard, but 479 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 2: I want to have better conversations while doing it. I 480 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 2: think everybody's temperature is going to change a little bit, 481 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 2: and how we interact the way that. 482 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: Charlie did it. 483 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 2: And I left there today and I don't no, I 484 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: want to ask you this as we wrap. I left 485 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 2: there today more hopeful for the future of this country, Yes, 486 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 2: than I have been in decades, and more hopeful for 487 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 2: the younger generation in this country that they're going to 488 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 2: see the light, because I have been very worried for 489 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 2: quite some time. It's part of the reason why I do 490 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 2: this is that we have lost an entire generation to 491 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 2: the radical left. I think we are seeing a very 492 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 2: quick pendulum shift that only God could create and put 493 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 2: people in a place to do it. 494 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 3: Absolutely. You know, I'm reminded of the Scripture Second Chronicles 495 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 3: seven fourteen. If my people who are called by my 496 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 3: name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face, 497 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 3: and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear 498 00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 3: from heaven, and I will forgive their sins, and I 499 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 3: will heal their land. That has been my prayer for 500 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 3: a long time, and I think today was in a 501 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 3: very real sense a great many people in America calling 502 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 3: out for God to hear our prayer and to heal 503 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 3: our land. And I pray that that is the outcome 504 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 3: the path we are on, that we see revival.
