1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: There are two things that are happening right now in 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: this country because of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. One 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 1: is truly a spiritual revival we are witnessing right now, 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: as attendance at church across the country in many places 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: was as high as it is on Easter Sunday and 6 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: Christmas Eve services. We are also witnessing a younger generation 7 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: who is now proudly standing up like never before for 8 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: what they believe in instead of being bullied into silence 9 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: by the radical left. We are also getting to know 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 1: the stories of Charlie Kirk and just how dedicated he 11 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: was to what he believed in. There's also a second 12 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: part of this story, and that is the accountability for 13 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: the radical left. We are witnessing now. Leftists who celebrated 14 00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk's assassination are being held accountable, being fired at 15 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: a rapid rate, and conservatives are uniting to make sure 16 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: that these individuals, especially at high schools and colleges, are 17 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: no longer in a position to indoctrinate a generation to 18 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: believing that violence is the way to silence speech that 19 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: you disagree with. Before we get into all of that, though, 20 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: I want you to hear some truly inspiring words by 21 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: the pastor of Charlie Kirk and what he had to 22 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 1: say about Charlie, his friend and his passing. Listen carefully. 23 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk is irreplaceable. Charlie Kirk is a once in 24 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: a generation mind and soul and anointing and heart. Charlie 25 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: Kirk was a rare combination of evangelist, apologist and political strategist. 26 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: One of our most recent communications, he said, thank you. 27 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: I have a ton of questions. I didn't ask for it, 28 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: but I have become a high profile defender of the faith. 29 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 2: I need to be the best I can. I said, 30 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 2: I'd be honored to serve for free, invisibly as needed. 31 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 2: You have an anointing to steward and it's massive. Proud 32 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: of you and pray for you and your family daily. 33 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk and I had been communicating. I was on 34 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 2: vacation with my wife and he was asking one week 35 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 2: could get together for a half day. He had a 36 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 2: bunch of questions about the Christian faith that he wanted 37 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: to wipe bard out, and I told him it would 38 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: be a great honor of my life to try and 39 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 2: serve him He told me that he felt like God 40 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: gave him this platform an opportunity so that he could 41 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 2: become an evangelist and apologist to the next generation. He 42 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: wanted to make it his primary message and life work 43 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 2: to proclaim the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, 44 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: which is evangelism, and then defend it by answering criticisms, questions, 45 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: and objections, which is called apologetics, which means to defend 46 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 2: the faith. Charlie Kirk stepped into a level of spiritual 47 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 2: warfare that I believe moved him to the top of 48 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 2: the enemy's hit list and to some degree contributed to 49 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: his assassination, his murder, and has martyrdom today. And I 50 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: do not use those words lightly. Those are entirely accurate 51 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 2: and fit the description of the demonic activity that we 52 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: saw today. Charlie wanted people to meet Jesus Christ, and 53 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 2: he wanted to do the best job that he could 54 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And as a result, 55 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: Charlie was going to campuses and he was proclaiming Jesus 56 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: and he was answering questions, and he was a generational 57 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: master in doing what the Bible says and that is 58 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: to give an answer to everyone for the hope that 59 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: you have with gentleness and respect. He was a joyful, 60 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: happy warrior. He had a great smile. He was kind 61 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 2: to his enemies. He tried to have a good time 62 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: even when they were trying to give him. 63 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 3: A bad time. 64 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: His impact on this generation cannot be overstated. I believe 65 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 2: it is absolutely non hyperbolic to say that he is 66 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 2: the greatest conservative voice of this generation alive on planet Earth. 67 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: And one of the last times I saw him was backstage. 68 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: It was actually some months ago, I believe, when JD 69 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 2: Vance was in town and Charlie invited me to come 70 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 2: meet JD in the greenroom and hang out with him. 71 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 2: And I walked in with a big smile. 72 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 3: He gave me a big. 73 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: Hug and he said, he said, I need you to 74 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 2: be praying for me, Pastor. I said, absolutely, I pray 75 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: for Charlie every day my wife and I have, and 76 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: for his beautiful family. He said, he said, I think 77 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 2: they're going to try and kill me. And he said 78 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 2: if we lose, I think they're going to incarcerate me. 79 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: Here's a young man with a family who's willing to 80 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 2: sacrifice his own life and well being, and the joy 81 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: he had with a wife whom he very much loved 82 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 2: and children that he completely adored. For the sake of 83 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: selfless service and sacrifice out of love for others. Charlie 84 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: is was and will forever be one of the most 85 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 2: significant men who walked on planet Earth in his generation. 86 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: You listen to Charlie's pastor there talking about how much 87 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,559 Speaker 1: he wanted to prepare, how much he wanted to make 88 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: sure that he was prepared for the questions about the Gospel, 89 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: about his faith being an apologist. That is how much 90 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: he cared about spreading the Gospel to the world. There's 91 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: also incredible things that have come out of this, giving 92 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: an example of that that happened and was just sent 93 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: to me a moment ago. JD. Vance, the Vice President 94 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: of the United States of America, will have the quote 95 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: honor as he put out on social media of hosting 96 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: the Charlie Kirk Show. He said, please join me as 97 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: I paid tribute to my friend. Apparently he will be 98 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: doing this from the White House. There's also part of 99 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: what Charlie's legacy was, and it was an important one, 100 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: was making sure that the Left didn't get a hold 101 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: of our children indoctrinate them the way they've been doing 102 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: it in such a radical way, and we're now witnessing 103 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: leftists who celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination are being fired at 104 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: a rapid pace. Those leftists who celebrate the assassination of 105 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: Charlie are now facing serious consequences, consequences of sunlight after 106 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: they were excited that Charlie was murdered. Others are being 107 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: identified and called out, then placed on leave or suspect. 108 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: According to a running thread that keeps count on social 109 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: media platform x As you know, we understand how extreme 110 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: the left has become, but what we are witnessing right 111 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: now is that there are many who are dedicating their 112 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: time to exposing far left radicals, and one of those groups, 113 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: Libs of TikTok, is doing a lot of the heavy 114 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: lifting when it comes to pointing out how much violence 115 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: and hate are still brewing on the left regarding Charlie. 116 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: A teacher, for example, at King Elementary School posts a 117 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: video online appearing to celebrate Charlie being assassinated. This person 118 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: teaches your children. Any comments and guess what happened when 119 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: that was posted about a teacher at King elementary school. 120 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: There has now been accountability. There was another post by 121 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: another teacher at another high school in Maine and what 122 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: happened there. She said, we're not offering sympathy moments after 123 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk was shot. This teacher has also been exposed. 124 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: Republican activist Scott Presler is also creating a database of 125 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: such behavior and encouraging his followers to send him any 126 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: examples that they see online. Another Pennsylvania teacher by the 127 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: name of Susan in another high school. One of Pressler's 128 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: posts made it clear this is a woman who said, 129 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: so yeah, I don't really care that someone shot him dead. 130 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: F him. This is another teacher teaching your children, and 131 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: so yes, there is some accountability for the radical left 132 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: that has been creating these killers, these monsters. I want 133 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: to talk to you about my friends at Kirk Elliott 134 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: Precious Metals. Two days ago, I got my new order 135 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: of silver. Now I'm investing in silver right now because 136 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: the pro on it is amazing and the upside well, 137 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: it's real. I actually have a one hundred ounce silver bar. 138 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: It is actually really cool. It's really heavy because it's 139 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: one hundred ounces. But I also know that I bought 140 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: it at the right price, and I wasn't paying massive 141 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: up charges on quote, rare or special coins, and then 142 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: when you go to sell them, you take away all 143 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: of your earning potential. Why do they do it this 144 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: way at Kurt Elliott because they have transparent pricing up front. 145 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: It's very simple. You pay eight percent when you buy, 146 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: and here's what matters to you the most, nothing when 147 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: you sell.

How bad has it gotten? The radical Democratic 175 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: Party has done this to our youngest generation. Political violence 176 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: is never acceptable, is the poll question of Baby boomers. 177 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: Ninety three percent say political violence is never acceptable. The 178 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: number then goes down with Gen X to eighty six 179 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: percent who say political violence is never acceptable.

In fact, just fifty eight percent of 186 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: gen Zers say the political violence is never acceptable, meaning 187 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: forty two percent of gen Zer's believe the political violence 188 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: and what we've witnessed with Charlie Kirk is acceptable.

There is still 196 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: a lot of hate. There is still a lot of 197 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: people out there that are celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk. 198 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: I want to play for you with the Speaker of 199 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: the House, Mike Johnson had to say, as he was 200 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: one of the first to speak at the prayer vigil 201 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: at the Kennedy Center that was put on with forty 202 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: eight hours notice, and I want you to listen carefully 203 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: to his message about who Charlie Kirk was and what 204 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: it means going forward. 205 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 4: All right, thank you all so much. Good to see you, 206 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 4: and they hear that all the way in heaven. I'm 207 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 4: telling you, it's been a very, very difficult week in America. 208 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 4: We all know that it's been a mixture of unspeakable 209 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 4: sadness and grief and anger and even fear. It's as 210 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 4: if a dark shadow was cast over our country, and 211 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 4: certainly here even on Capitol Hill. 212 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 3: The leaders of the nation have been shaken. 213 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 4: As have university students and college students and young people 214 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 4: all across the country, as as if the ground was 215 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 4: shifted beneath us. 216 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 3: We all felt it deep deep inside. 217 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 4: And in spite of that, we remember that our dear 218 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 4: friend Charlie would never want us to be overcome by despair. 219 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 3: He would want exactly the opposite. 220 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 4: You know, Charlie Kirk recruited and trained and educated a 221 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 4: generation of happy warriors, and we do well to be 222 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 4: reminded that the best way to honor his memory and 223 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 4: to honor his unmatched legacy is to live as Charlie did. 224 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 3: That's right. I just have two thoughts. 225 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 4: At a very brief moment I'm given to speak to 226 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 4: you tonight, I just want to give you two thoughts 227 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 4: in that regard. If we can do two things that 228 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 4: Charlie did, we will honor that legacy. One is to 229 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 4: advance his principles, and the other is to adopt his approach. 230 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 4: Now regarding his principles, Charlie was a man of deep 231 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 4: faith and conviction. Everyone here can testify to that, and 232 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 4: all the speakers will tonight. 233 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 3: I mean he meant it to his core. 234 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 4: He was authentic, and that's what drew people to the 235 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 4: message so much. And he believed and the things that 236 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 4: are noble and praiseworthy and good that Scripture talks about. 237 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 4: He believed in family and freedom, faith and virtue and patriotism. 238 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 4: See Charlie unders that we live in the greatest nation 239 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 4: in the history of the world. 240 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 3: It's not even close. 241 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 4: So I don't care what anybody argues, and Charlie could 242 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 4: beat them all. We're the most We're the most free, 243 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 4: and most successful, most powerful, most benevolent nation that has 244 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 4: ever been on the earth, and Charlie understood why, and 245 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 4: he wanted others to understand it as well, because Charlie 246 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 4: knew that if you don't understand the source of your freedom, 247 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 4: it is easy for it to be taken away. Charlie 248 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 4: believed in the creed of our country, which we will 249 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 4: celebrate our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary next year. 250 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 3: Right. 251 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 4: Charlie loved to take university students and young people through 252 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 4: the second paragraph of the declaration. We hold these truths 253 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 4: to be self evident. By the way, students, what is 254 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 4: the self evident truth? 255 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 3: That's something that's obvious. We hold these truths to be 256 00:16:59,040 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 3: self evident. 257 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 4: That all men are created equal, not born equal, created equal. 258 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 3: That's what Charlie knew. 259 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 4: And Charlie knew that because of that, because what the 260 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 4: Founder said, what they articulated, that God created us. 261 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 3: He's the one that gave us our an alienable rights. 262 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 4: Charlie Kirk stood for the principle and he shared it 263 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 4: everywhere he could. Our rights do not derive from the 264 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 4: state or a king. They come from the King of kings. 265 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 4: Charlie also taught so effectively. He did it as well 266 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 4: as anybody in his generation, or possibly for many generations, 267 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 4: that the other principles that come from that what the 268 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 4: founders do and when they put this country together, this 269 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 4: grand experiment in self governance, they understood that we are 270 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 4: made in the image of God. 271 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 3: And because of that, that's right. 272 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 4: Because of that, Charlie knew and he believed it, and 273 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 4: you could see it and how he advanced this ministry 274 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 4: of his. He knew that because we're all made in 275 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 4: the image of God, every single person has an. 276 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 3: Estimable dignity and value. 277 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 4: And your values is not related in any way to 278 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 4: the color of your skin or what zip code you 279 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 4: live in, where do you go to school. 280 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 3: It's irrelevant. 281 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 4: Your values inherent because it is given to you by God. 282 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 3: That's what Charlie Kirk believed. That's what Charlie Kirk lived. 283 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 4: If we could advance those principles that Charlie advanced, we'll 284 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 4: be able to save this great Republican And that's what 285 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 4: he was all about. 286 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 3: But we should also adopt his approach. 287 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 4: See, Charlie loved a vigorous debate, but he loved people more. 288 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 3: Charlie. 289 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 4: That's right, Charlie. Charlie was never motivated by hate. I mean, 290 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 4: he could cling the thock of anybody in a debate. 291 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 3: We all know it. But you know what he did 292 00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 3: after those debates. 293 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 4: He was always the first person to reach out a 294 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 4: hand of friendship or to offer an arm around the 295 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 4: shoulder of someone who he felt was lost, because in 296 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 4: many places, in many cases, the people he was debating 297 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 4: were indeed lost, not just philosophically but spiritually. And Charlie 298 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 4: knew the truth, and he knew that eternity awaits us. 299 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 3: All. We know exactly where Charlie is right now. That's right. 300 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 4: Charlie had such faith and such such belief, and he 301 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,959 Speaker 4: wanted to share that truth with others. And what he 302 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 4: was trying to do is pull people back from the abyss, 303 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 4: not just to save a country, but to save souls. 304 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 4: That's what Charlie Kirk was about. And that will resonate. 305 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 4: It goes far beyond him. His legacy is immeasurable. I 306 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 4: used to be a lawyer. I defended free speech and 307 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 4: religious freedom and all that in the courts, and we 308 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 4: tried to We talked a lot about advancing and preserving 309 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 4: the free marketplace of ideas. I think Charlie Kirk offered 310 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 4: more productive content the free marketplace of ideas than anyone 311 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 4: in its generation and arguably in the last one hundred. 312 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 3: Years of US history. 313 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 4: I could go on and on, but I'm out of 314 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 4: time because you have a lot of great people to 315 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 4: hear from tonight. Everybody has a story about Charlie and 316 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 4: they're all worthy to be shared, and I wouldn't know. 317 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 4: We'll be doing that for many days to come. I 318 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 4: just leave you with the thought from Edmund Burke. It's 319 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 4: attributed to him, and Charlie knew this quote well. 320 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 3: He was my friend. We talked about these things. 321 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 4: He reminded young people, all that is necessary for the 322 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,479 Speaker 4: triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Charlie 323 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 4: Kirk did so much in his short life that he 324 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 4: spurred that on in other people. He inspired it in 325 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 4: other people, and that message and that truth will go 326 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 4: more boldly now than it did while he was here. 327 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 3: It will go forward with power and strength. 328 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 4: I've been asked to offer a brief word of prayer, 329 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 4: so if you would do that with me, Heavenly Father, 330 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 4: we come to you tonight in sadness, but also with 331 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 4: grateful hearts, because we know that your truth endoors.

We pray and 349 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 4: believe all this, and we commit our great nation to 350 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 4: you in Jesus' name. 351 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 3: Amen. 352 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: You here the speaker of the house there, Mike Johnson, 353 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 1: telling that incredible story of Charlie Kirk, his life and 354 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 1: his legacy. We are also hearing from the Pentagon there 355 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: will be as they are describing it a zero tolerance 356 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: policy for the cheering of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Pentagon officials 357 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: are now actively monitoring an alarm wave of public celebrations 358 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: over the assassination of Charlie Kirk and weighing action against 359 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: any military members or Department personnel who are involved. The 360 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: Defense Secretary p Deadseth, along with multiple other military and 361 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: department leaders, said the department is quote tracking celebrations of 362 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: Kirk's death among personnel and promised the issue will be 363 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: addressed immediately. In the wake of the assassination, there is 364 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: a lot of left leaning users on X, Blue Sky, 365 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: and TikTok that are openly cheering the conservative leader's murder. 366 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: Several accounts llegey tied to military personnel popping up quote 367 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: it's unacceptable for military personnel and Department of War civilians 368 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: the celebrator mock the assassination of a fellow American. That's 369 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: of the Pentagon's chief spokesman, Sean Parnell, a friend of mine, 370 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: by the way, posts on X saying the Department of 371 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: War has zero tolerance for it. It is unacceptable for 372 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: military personnel, Department of War civilians to celebrate or mock 373 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: the assassination of a fellow American period. The Department of 374 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: the Air Force is also aware of inappropriate comments concerning 375 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: recent political violence. This behavior is unacceptable and contrary to 376 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: our core values. Airmen and guardsmen are expected up hold 377 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: the highest standard of professionalism and conduct at all times. 378 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: This is just one example of how left and how that, 379 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 1: I should say, the radical left has decided to indoctrinate 380 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: a younger generation to believe that if you're angry, you 381 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: can kill, If you're angry, you can have riots, if 382 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: you're angry, you can have violence. And what we've witnessed 383 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: since the assassination of Charlie Kirk is this, When the 384 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: right's angry, there are prayer visuals. When the left is angry, 385 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: there are riots and violence. We are clearly not the same. 386 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: I want to talk two about my friends over at 387 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. You've got a lot of choices for cell 388 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: phone service, with new ones popping up all the time. 389 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: But if you want to make a difference and you 390 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: want to stop giving your money to liberal companies. Well, 391 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: one way you can do that is by getting rid 392 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: of Liberal Mobile you probably have right now. That is 393 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: where hundreds of thousands of Americans are now coming together 394 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: and have made Patriot Mobile what they are today. They've 395 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: been in service now for thirteen years, and right now 396 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: is the best time ever to switch, because it's never 397 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: been easier. Now, before I tell you about that, I 398 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: want you to know why switching is so important. Because 399 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: every time you make a call, every time you send 400 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: a text, and every time that you pay your bill, 401 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: you're actually standing up for the values you believe in, 402 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: your First and your Second Amendment rights, the rights of 403 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: unborn children, and you stand with our military, our veterans, 404 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 1: are wounded warriors, and our fallen soldier families. Because Patriot 405 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: Mobile takes about five percent of your bill every month 406 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: at no extra car to you, and they give it 407 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: back to these organizations that fight for our values. Now, 408 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: let's talk about switching. It has never been easier. You 409 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: can keep your same number, keep your same phone, or upgrade. 410 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile's got a one hundred percent US based customer 411 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: service team and literally they can now with technology, get 412 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: you activated in minutes from the comfort of your home 413 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,719 Speaker 1: or your office.

You also had the President of the United 426 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: States of America doing something that was incredible, ordering on 427 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: Wednesday that all American flags be lowered to have staff 428 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: until Sunday evening at six o'clock for one reason, to 429 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: honor Charlie Kirk. I look at what is happening also online, 430 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: and what we are witnessing right now is people flocking 431 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: to videos of Charlie Kirk's most important moments, things that 432 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: he said in the past, things that he believed in, 433 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: watching church services that he was involved in, commentary that 434 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: he was involved in. And there's even some Democrats that 435 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: are breaking with their party. John Fetterman being mocked now 436 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 1: begging Democrats to stop calling Trump names the Democratic Party. 437 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: He's now a black sheep, as he's been described by 438 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: The Daily Beast says of President Trump, it is unprecedented 439 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: the number of attacks on his administration. John Fetterman saying, 440 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: is time that it all stops. That it's something that 441 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: we should not have and what are Democrats doing right now? 442 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 1: They're attacking John Fetterman. Take a listen to part of 443 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: what he had to say about his own party. 444 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 5: I'm never going to change my party, but clearly we've 445 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 5: lost the argument. And now right now, I think it's 446 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 5: entirely appropriate to really be honest and just figure out 447 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 5: why exactly have we effectively lost two out of less 448 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 5: three cycles and a lot of the things. We've really 449 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 5: kind of really lost our connection with American voters in ways, 450 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 5: and I think we can't just be well, Trump is 451 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 5: always wrong, or or that we're going to set the 452 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 5: country on fire or whatever. That's just not true either. 453 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 5: Of course. You know, when I represent a state like Pennsylvania, 454 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 5: that keeps you honest and you always can't forget that 455 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 5: a lot of Americans happen to disagree with you. That 456 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 5: does not mean that they are fascists or now they 457 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 5: want to shred the Constitution. 458 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 2: But when you hear some Democrats saying Trump is acting 459 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 2: like an autocrat. 460 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, no, that's the thing. I if you actually compare 461 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 5: him to an actual autocrat, that is not just that. 462 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 5: Now last night, for example, people were complain, you know, 463 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 5: they're protesting about oh, that's the Hitler Hitler thing. You 464 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 5: just don't ever ever compare anyone to Hitler and those 465 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 5: kinds of extreme things. Now, look what happened to Charlie Kirk. 466 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 5: I mean, the man was shot. Now we have to 467 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 5: turn the temperature down. It's like, we can't compare people 468 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 5: to these kinds of figures in history. And this is 469 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 5: not an autocrat. This is a product of a democratic election. 470 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: So you don't think that Trump is at all shattering 471 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: any of the norms of democracy in any. 472 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 5: I'm saying he's different, But that's what America voted for Again, 473 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 5: I don't agree with many of these things, but that 474 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 5: does not make him an autocra atic. 475 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: But one of the things I hear from Democrats a 476 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: lot saying a. 477 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 2: Reason why voters may not like Democrats because they don't 478 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 2: fight hard enough. 479 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 4: Democrats would be fighting harder. 480 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 5: What do you say to folks, exactly what exactly is fighting? 481 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 5: What is fighting? You know, delay more votes or just 482 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 5: vote every no on everything, or saying well, if they're 483 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 5: doing X, well, then that mean it's wrong that kind 484 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 5: of thing. It's like, what exactly is is fighting? 485 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 4: I'll give you an example. 486 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: It could be shutting the government down. 487 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 2: Like some Democrats say, if this happens, it will be 488 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 2: Trump's fault. 489 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 5: That's that's not fighting. That's mutilating our nation. If you 490 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 5: vote to shut our government down, you are going to 491 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 5: harm millions of Americans. And why would you do this? 492 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 5: Where's our leverage? It was wrong. It was wrong for 493 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 5: the Republicans to do that. Absolutely, that's true. It is 494 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 5: wrong for the Republicans to do that. It would just 495 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 5: be wrong for us for those things bigger pick. 496 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 2: Sure as a party shifted or have you shifted ideological. 497 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 5: Lan My party is acting in a way. They have forgotten. 498 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 5: They have forgotten one of the reasons why we lost 499 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty four. Some of the most extreme things 500 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 5: were weaponized against that and now some people think, now 501 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 5: we have to double down on those things, or we 502 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 5: must become more progressive or more extreme.
