1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: This is just a sad day. A friend of mine 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: who I have known for well over a decade was 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: shot and killed. Assassinated at a college campus event in Utah. 4 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk was thirty one years old. He has left 5 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: behind two beautiful children and a wife, all because he 6 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: wanted to bring people together to have a grand debate 7 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: about politics. I want to be clear about this and 8 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,599 Speaker 1: say not only how sad I am, because I know 9 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: Charlie personally, but how sad I am for his kids. 10 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: I've got three kids, and this is a conversation that 11 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: all of us that do this have had a lot 12 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: more recently, especially since the presidential assassination attempt, when the 13 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: president was shot in Butler and there was a real 14 00:00:54,240 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: concern over safety. There are a lot of people that 15 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: are not doing public events right now for this reason. 16 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk lived by what his order was, and his 17 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,199 Speaker 1: order was God, family, country. Charlie Kirk shot and killed 18 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: by some deranged individual. And it's not lost on me 19 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,919 Speaker 1: that even just hours ago on TV last night, Charlie 20 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: Kirk was being attacked by name as he talked about 21 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: the killing of that young innocent girl from Ukraine, talking 22 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: about it being a racial issue because the man said 23 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: I killed I got that white girl. And what the 24 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: media do. They went after Charlie Cook saying that was 25 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: race baiting, race baiting. How dare you say that it's 26 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: not true? They said what Charlie said was a lie, 27 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: even though we have the audio of the man walking 28 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: after he killed that young girl saying, I got that 29 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: white girl. And if you want to know what makes 30 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: psychotic people do psychotic things, you tell them that what 31 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: they're seeing is a liar. You tell them that people 32 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: like Charlie Kirk and others are evil. You tell them 33 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is the second coming of Adolf Hitler, 34 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: because you just need one. You need one guy to 35 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: take out to Charlie Kirk. You need one to take 36 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,679 Speaker 1: out of Donald Trump. You know what's even more sick 37 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: is Matthew Dowd on MSNBC suggests that Charlie Kirk had 38 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: it coming, saying, quote, he is consistently pushing this sort 39 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: of hate speech aimed at certain groups. And I always 40 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: go back to hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which 41 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: often then lead to hateful actions. You want to know 42 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: when he said that? He said that before we knew 43 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: if Charlie was alive or dead, I want you to 44 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: think about that. Donald Trump put it this way, the 45 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: great and even legendary Charlie Kirk is dead. No one 46 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: understood or had the heart of the youth in the 47 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved 48 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: and admired by all, especially me, And now he is 49 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: no longer with us. Milania and my sympathies go out 50 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: to his beautiful wife, Erica and family. Charlie, we love you. 51 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: The President announcing the passing of Charlie Kirk and automatically 52 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: are immediately ordering that the flag at the White House 53 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: flight half mass. Charlie was a friend. Charlie was a 54 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: guy that was never going to hold back, and he 55 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: was going to keep fighting the fight. It is truly 56 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: incredible to also see how evil people are online. There 57 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: are people on social media right now, on TikTok especially 58 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: that are celebrating, celebrating the killing, the assassination of Charlie Kirk. 59 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: Elon Musk retweeting Sean maguire and here's what he said. 60 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: The Left, he said, is the party of murder. Say quote. 61 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: The left lectured us for the last decade about the 62 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: dangers of violence from the right, from the assassination attempts 63 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: at President Trump to Brian Thompson, not a healthcare CEO 64 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: being murdered, now to Charlie Kirk, the danger was actually 65 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: on the left. As Elon must put it, I agree, 66 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: the left is the party of murder. When I met 67 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: Charlie for the very first time, Charlie was a young 68 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: kid who had this idea and some financial backers that 69 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: he could change this country by changing a generation. He 70 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: saw how important younger generations were to the Democratic Party 71 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: and how they indoctrinated them in schools and in colleges. 72 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: Charlie didn't go to college to do turning point, and 73 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: people attacked him for that, And then he exposed colleges 74 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: for what they actually were, radical leftist organizations that were 75 00:04:51,960 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: turning kids into hating this great country. His legacy, I promise, 76 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: is going to continue to grow. Glenn Beck put it 77 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: this way. The President's confirmed what I can. He said 78 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: what I can scarcely bring myself to say, My dear friend, 79 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk is gone. In all my years, I have 80 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: spoken tens of millions of words, but tonight I have none. 81 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: Tomorrow many of his friends and his Blaze family will 82 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: join me on national radio and podcast as we try 83 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: to honor him. I pray that God grants me the 84 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: words worthy of such a man, though I know none 85 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: of us could ever truly capture the depth of his faith, 86 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: his courage, and his love for his country. Pray please 87 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: for his family. Pray for our republic, which has lost 88 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: one of its most faithful defenders. I can only imagine 89 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: the joy that must now feel his heart as he 90 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: hears those words we all long to hear. Well done, 91 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: my good and faithful survey. Charlie Cook stood up for 92 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: this country. Charlie Kirk stood up for what is so 93 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: right about America. Charlie Kirk, by the way, didn't have 94 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: to listen to opposing views. He chose to because he 95 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: believed that every voice should be heard, and that's why 96 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: he had such grand debates. Charlie Kirk is a guy 97 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: that also helped the president get elected. If you want 98 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: to know why the President was the one to announce, 99 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: it's because I think he believes he would not have 100 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: gotten reelected without Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk and we did 101 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: on the ground in swing States was truly a remarkable 102 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: was incredible, and he is a friend that was gunned 103 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: down cold blood and murder, an assassination because he was 104 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: having a grand debate on a college campus. I want 105 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: you to think about this. This is an event in Utah. 106 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: He was asking people to come to the microphone to 107 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: debate him. This is pure, demonic evil and there are 108 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: many that are going to say this and I tend 109 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: to agree with him at this point that the Democratic 110 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: Party is nothing more now than a terrorist organization. They 111 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: don't denounce they stoke this type of hate and bigotry. 112 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: That's what they do and everyone needs to understand that. 113 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: I will say it over and over again. Please pray 114 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: for his beautiful wife and his beautiful children. Everyone needs 115 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: to pray for his family right now. Pray that evil 116 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: will not prevail, that his life will not be lost 117 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: in vain, but will be a life that is made, 118 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: will have a legacy that will live for centuries to come. 119 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: Take a quick break, we'll come back. It's the Been 120 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: Ferguson Show. Much more coming up. 121 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 2: All right. 122 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: I want to take a moment and I want to 123 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: talk to you real quick about what you can do 124 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: to help the people in Israel. It was nearly two 125 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: years ago that the terrorists murdered more than twelve hundred 126 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: innocent Israelis and they took two hundred and fifty hostages. 127 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: Today it seems as if the cries of the dead 128 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: and dying have been drowned out by the shouts of 129 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: anti Semitism and just pure hatred, not just in America 130 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: but around the world. And the most brutal attack on 131 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: Jewish people happened. It happened since the Holocaust, and now 132 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: it's like they're trying to act like it never happened. Now. 133 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: This is where it is important for us to stand 134 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: with the people in Israel. It's a movement of love 135 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: and support for the people of Israel, and this is 136 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: where I want you to get involved. It is called 137 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: Flags of Fellowship. It's being organized by the International Fellowship 138 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: of Christians and Jews.

He was also. 237 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 6: Very much politically involved, and that's why he was here 238 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 6: on campus. Charlie believed in the power of free speech 239 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 6: and debate to shape ideas and to persuade people. Historically, 240 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 6: our university campuses in this nation and here in the 241 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 6: State of Utah have been the place where truth and 242 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 6: ideas are formulated and debated. And that's what he does. 243 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 6: He comes on college campuses and he debates that as 244 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 6: foundational to the formation of our country, to our most 245 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 6: basic constitutional rights. 246 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 4: And when someone takes the life of a person. 247 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 6: Because of their ideas or their ideals, then that very 248 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 6: constitutional foundation is threatened. Now we have a person of 249 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 6: interest in custody. The investigation is ongoing, but I want 250 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 6: to make it crystal clear right now to whoever did this, 251 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 6: we will find you, we will try you, and we 252 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 6: will hold you accountable to the furthest extent of the law. 253 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 6: And I just want to remind people that we still 254 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 6: have the death penalty here in the state of Utah. 255 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 4: Our nation is broken. We've had. 256 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 6: Political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination 257 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 6: on the governor of Pennsylvania, and we had an attempted 258 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 6: assassination on a presidential candidate and former president of the 259 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 6: United States and now current resident of the United States. 260 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 6: Nothing I say can unit us as a country. Nothing 261 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 6: I can say right now can fix what is broken. 262 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 6: Nothing I can say can bring back Charlie Kirk. Our 263 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 6: hearts are broken. 264 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 4: We mourn. 265 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 6: With his wife, his children, his family, his friends. We 266 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 6: mourn as a nation. If anyone, in the sound of 267 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 6: my voice celebrated even a little bit at the news 268 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 6: of this shooting, I would beg you to look in 269 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 6: the mirror and to see if you can find a 270 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 6: better angel in there somewhere. I don't care what his 271 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 6: politics are. I care that he was an American. We 272 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 6: desperately need our country. We desperately need leaders in our country. 273 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 6: But more than the leaders, we just need every single 274 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 6: person in. 275 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 4: This country. 276 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 6: To think about where we are and where we want 277 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 6: to be, to ask ourselves, it is this what two 278 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 6: hundred and fifty years has wrought on us. 279 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 4: I pray that that's not the case. 280 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 6: I pray that those who hated what Charlie Cooks stood 281 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 6: for will put down their social media and their pens 282 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 6: and pray for his family, and that all of us, 283 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 6: all of us will try to find a way to 284 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 6: stop painting our fellow Americans. 285 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 4: With that, we're happy to take a few questions. 286 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: You're going to hear the Utah governor they are calling 287 00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk's death a political assassination.

I remember meeting Charlie for the 334 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: very first time and we had breakfast together. When he 335 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 1: was trying to start Turning Point, there was people like 336 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: myself and Ben Shapiro and others that had done kind 337 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: of the college campus thing and had been the young 338 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: generation of conservatives, and he wanted to be that next 339 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: generation in may O. May was he He's had more 340 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: of an impact on the younger generation for conservatives than 341 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: anyone I've ever met. And I don't say that because 342 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: he was assassinated by a cold blooded killer. I say 343 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: that because the truth Charlie Kirk was a hero whose 344 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: legacy will live on for I think the rest of 345 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: my life and probably than after that. People are going 346 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: to remember Charlie Kirk. They're going to remember where they 347 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: were when they found out that he was shot. They're 348 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,959 Speaker 1: going to remember where they were when it was announced 349 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: by the President unit It's America on True Social that 350 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: he had died. This is so hard. I've been talking 351 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: about this all day. I'm recording this basically midnight Eastern, 352 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: and I've been talking to friends and colleagues who know him, 353 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: and all of us are so sad because we all 354 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: knew him well. I think the hardest part for me 355 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: is the fact that I know that this is a 356 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: man that loved this country but also loved his family. 357 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: He was so proud of his kids. He was so 358 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: proud to be a dad. He loved being a dad, 359 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: he loved celebrating what a family is. He loves celebrating 360 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: that he was going back to traditional way of life 361 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: with a mom and a dad and children. I am 362 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 1: so sad tonight for his family, for his wife, who 363 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: is so sweet, for his children that are going to 364 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: grow up without their father. They're going to have videos 365 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: for years that they can watch and they can be 366 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: proud of him. And that may be the one blessing 367 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: is that they so much of his life over the 368 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: last five six seven years was put on tape. I 369 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: also get sad for this country because we lost someone 370 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: that was so dear to us. And I get sad 371 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: that we've gone off this path so far to where 372 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,239 Speaker 1: the radical left and a part of it is a 373 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: terrorist organization. Now, make no mistake about that is celebrating 374 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: the killing of a man whose only crime was wanting 375 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: to bring people together for a grand debate. That's what 376 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: he did wrong. He wanted to debate the most important 377 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: issues of our day, and he wanted to sit down 378 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: with people that disagreed with him, and he wanted to 379 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: have that conversation. And that's why they killed him, because 380 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: he was so effective and so powerful by bringing facts 381 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: to a conversation and by the the way being kind 382 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 1: to those on the left, those that disagreed with him. 383 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: He wanted them to come to his events, he wanted 384 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: to talk to them. He gave them a microphone. It's 385 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: exactly what he was doing in Utah. Trump's assassination attempting 386 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 1: Butler is that we were worried that they were going 387 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: to do it again, whether I was on stage doing 388 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: an event, and so many others that do what Charlie 389 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: does in the conservative movement. It is become a very 390 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: real thing in our minds. And what they wanted to 391 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: happen to Donald Trump and Butler is exactly what happened 392 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: in Utah to Charlie Kirk. They wanted that video. They 393 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: wanted to put fear in the hearts and the minds 394 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: of other conservative fighters, other conservative warriors, because they want 395 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: to silence us. I have talked to some of the 396 00:25:55,160 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: most influential conservative leaders today on the phone and text messages, 397 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: my mentors, people that I've mentored, and one thing I 398 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: can assure you from all this is, yes, we're gonna 399 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: take more precautions. Yes we're gonna do more, but we're 400 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: not stopping. Charlie was asked recently about what he does 401 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: and what he thinks before he goes on college campuses, 402 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: and I want you to listen to what he said. 403 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: It's only forty seven forty eight seconds long, but I 404 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 1: want you to listen to what he says. 405 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 7: Before I go on to college campus. My prayer is 406 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 7: very simple. God used me for your will, because there's 407 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 7: a plan above us all. God is sovereign above all. 408 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 7: So what is God's plan When I go on to 409 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 7: college campus. I just believe I will only tell truth, 410 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 7: i will not compromise, and I'll love on the lost. 411 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 7: The specific teachings of Christ these go make disciples of 412 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 7: all nations. I'm trying my best to do that, and 413 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 7: I'm trying to do it first in this nation, because 414 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 7: this nation impacts every other nation on the planet. You 415 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 7: cannot impact the world that impacting America. 416 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 4: Period. 417 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 7: That's the way that God has designed the universe in 418 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 7: this particular being that as America goes, the world goes. 419 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,239 Speaker 7: Jesus called us to love children, got Jesus called us 420 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 7: to tell truth. God Jesus called us to contest in 421 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 7: the public square for his purposes. I'm far more interested 422 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 7: in what God wants of me than what I want 423 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 7: from God and what God wants from me as a 424 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 7: life fighting for truth. 425 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: That is going to be a large part of Charlie 426 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: Kirk's legacy. The President of the United States of America 427 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: also put out a video from the Oval Office hours 428 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: after he announced that Charlie Kirk had gone to see 429 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: his Lord and Savior in heaven. Donald Trump decided to 430 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: address the nation, and I want you to hear what 431 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: the President had to say about Charlie Kirk and his 432 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: legacy to my. 433 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 8: Great fellow Americans. I am filled with grief and anger 434 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 8: at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college 435 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 8: campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions in tonight, all who 436 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,120 Speaker 8: knew him loved him, are united in shock and horror. 437 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 8: Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the 438 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 8: cause of open debate and the country that he loved 439 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 8: so much, the United States of America. He fought for liberty, democracy, justice, 440 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 8: and the American people. He's a martyr for truth and freedom, 441 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 8: and there has never been anyone who was so respected 442 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 8: by youth. Charlie was also a man of deep, deep faith, 443 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 8: and we take comfort in the knowledge that he is 444 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 8: now at peace with God in heaven. Our prayers are 445 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 8: with his wife, Erica, the two young beloved children, and 446 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 8: his entire family, who he loved more than anything in 447 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 8: the world. We ask God to watch over them in 448 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 8: this terrible hour of heartache and pain. Is a dark 449 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 8: moment for America. Charlie Kirk traveled the nation, joyfully engaging 450 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 8: with everyone in interested in good faith debate. His mission 451 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 8: was to bring young people into the political process, which 452 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 8: he did better than anybody ever, to share his love 453 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 8: of country, and to spread the simple words of common 454 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 8: sense on campuses nationwide. He championed his ideas with courage, logic, humor, 455 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 8: and grace. It's a long past time for all Americans 456 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 8: and the media to confront the fact that violence and 457 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 8: murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom 458 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 8: you disagree day after day, year after year, in the 459 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 8: most hateful and despicable way possible. For years, those on 460 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 8: the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to 461 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 8: Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals. This 462 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 8: kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that 463 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 8: we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop 464 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 8: right now. My administration will find each and every one 465 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 8: of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other 466 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 8: political violence, including the organizations that funded and support it, 467 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 8: as well as those who go after our judges, law 468 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 8: enforcement officials, and everyone else who brings order to our country. 469 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 8: From the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania last year, 470 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 8: which killed a husband and father, to the attacks on 471 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 8: ice agents, to the vicious murder of a healthcare executive 472 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 8: in the streets of New York, to the shooting of 473 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 8: House Majority leaders Steve Scalise and three others. Radical of 474 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 8: political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken 475 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,479 Speaker 8: too many lives. Tonight, they asked all Americans to commit 476 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 8: themselves to the American values for which Charlie Kirk lived 477 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 8: and died, the values of free speech, citizenship, the rule 478 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,719 Speaker 8: of law, and the patriotic devotion and love of God. 479 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 8: Charlie was the best of America, and the monster who 480 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 8: attacked him was attacking our whole country. An assassin tried 481 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 8: to silence him with a bullet, but he failed, because 482 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 8: together we will ensure that his voice, his message, and 483 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 8: his legacy will live on for countless generations to come. Today, 484 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 8: because of this heinous act, Charlie's voice has become bigger 485 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,479 Speaker 8: and grander than ever before, and it's not even close. 486 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 8: May God bless his memory, May God watch over his family, 487 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 8: and may God bless the United States of America. 488 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 4: Thank you. 489 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: I want to just end by saying two things. One, 490 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: I am so sad. I am so sad for Charlie's 491 00:31:55,120 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: family and his colleagues and his friends. I'm also incredibly angry. 492 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: I'm angry that the Left has gotten to the point 493 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: where they're inspiring people to do this with no accountability. 494 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: I may angre that they have normalized this type of 495 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: political violence. There will be more to be said about 496 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: that moving forward, I can promise you. But what I'll 497 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: say right now is this. Pray for Charlie's wife, Pray 498 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: for Charlie's children, Pray for all of them.
