1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: There are two things that are happening right now in 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: this country because of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. One 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: is truly a spiritual revival we are witnessing right now, 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: as attendance at church across the country in many places 5 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: was as high as it is on Easter Sunday and 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: Christmas Eve services. We are also witnessing a younger generation 7 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: who is now proudly standing up like never before for 8 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: what they believe in instead of being bullied into silence 9 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: by the radical left. We are also getting to know 10 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: the stories of Charlie Kirk and just how dedicated he 11 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: was to what he believed in. There's also a second 12 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: part of this story, and that is the accountability for 13 00:00:50,040 --> 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 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: a rapid rate, and conservatives are uniting to make sure 16 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,400 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 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: believing that violence is the way to silence speech that 19 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,319 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 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: the pastor of Charlie Kirk and what he had to 22 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,080 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 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: Kirk was a rare combination of evangelist, apologist and political strategist. 26 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: One of our most recent communications, he said, thank you. 27 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: I have a ton of questions. I didn't ask for it, 28 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: but I have become a high profile defender of the faith. 29 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 2: I need to be the best I can. I said, 30 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 2: I'd be honored to serve for free, invisibly as needed. 31 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 2: You have an anointing to steward and it's massive. Proud 32 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 2: of you and pray for you and your family daily. 33 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk and I had been communicating. I was on 34 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: vacation with my wife and he was asking one week 35 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 2: could get together for a half day. He had a 36 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 2: bunch of questions about the Christian faith that he wanted 37 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: to wipe board out, and I told him it would 38 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: be a great honor of my life to try and 39 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: serve him He told me that he felt like God 40 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: gave him this platform an opportunity so that he could 41 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 2: become an evangelist and apologist to the next generation. He 42 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: wanted to make it his primary message and life work 43 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 2: to proclaim the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, 44 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: which is evangelism, and then defend it by answering criticisms, questions, 45 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 2: and objections, which is called apologetics, which means to defend 46 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: the faith. Charlie Kirk stepped into a level of spiritual 47 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: warfare that I believe moved him to the top of 48 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: the enemy's hit list and to some degree contributed to 49 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,240 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 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 2: and fit the description of the demonic activity that we 52 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 2: saw today. Charlie wanted people to meet Jesus Christ, and 53 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 2: he wanted to do the best job that he could 54 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And as a result, 55 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: Charlie was going to campuses and he was proclaiming Jesus 56 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: and he was answering questions, and he was a generational 57 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: master in doing what the Bible says and that is 58 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: to give an answer to everyone for the hope that 59 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 2: you have with gentleness and respect. He was a joyful, 60 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 2: happy warrior. He had a great smile. He was kind 61 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: to his enemies. He tried to have a good time 62 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 2: even when they were trying to give him a bad time. 63 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: His impact on this generation cannot be overstated. I believe 64 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: it is absolutely non hyperbolic to say that he is 65 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 2: the greatest conservative voice of this generation alive on planet Earth. 66 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 2: And one of the last times I saw him was backstage. 67 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 2: It was actually some months ago, I believe, when JD 68 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 2: Vance was in town and Charlie invited me to come 69 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: meet JD in the greenroom and hang out with them, 70 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 2: and I walked in with a big smile. He gave 71 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: me a big hug and he said, he said, I 72 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 2: need you to be praying for me, Pastor. I said, absolutely, 73 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: I pray for Charlie every day my wife and I have, 74 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 2: and for his beautiful family. He said, he said, I 75 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: think they're going to try and kill me. And he 76 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: said if we lose, I think they're going to incarcerate me. 77 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 2: Here's a young man with a family who's willing to 78 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 2: sacrifice his own life and well being, and the joy 79 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: he had with a wife whom he very much loved 80 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 2: and children that he completely adored. For the sake of 81 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: selfless service and sacrifice out of love for others. Charlie 82 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 2: is was and will forever be one of the most 83 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 2: significant men who walked on planet Earth in his generation. 84 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: You listen to Charlie's pastor there talking about how much 85 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: he wanted to prepare, how much he wanted to make 86 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: sure that he was prepared for the questions about the Gospel, 87 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: about his faith being an apologist. That is how much 88 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: he cared about spreading the Gospel to the world. There's 89 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: also incredible things that have come out of this. Give 90 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: you an exam that that happened and was just sent 91 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: to me a moment ago. 92 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 3: JD. 93 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: Vance, the Vice President the United States of America, will 94 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: have the quote honor as he put out on social 95 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: media of hosting the Charlie Kirk Show. He said, please 96 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: join me as I paid tribute to my friend. Apparently 97 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: he will be doing this from the White House. There's 98 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: also part of what Charlie's legacy was, and it was 99 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: an important one, was making sure that the Left didn't 100 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: get a hold of our children indoctrinate them the way 101 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: they've been doing it in such a radical way. And 102 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: we're now witnessing leftists who celebrated Charlie kirk assassination or 103 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: being fired at a rapid pace. Those leftists who celebrated 104 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: the assassination of Charlie are now facing serious consequences, consequences 105 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: of sunlight after they were excited that Charlie was murdered. 106 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: Others are being identified and called out, then placed on 107 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: leave or suspect. According to a running thread that keeps 108 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: count on social media platform x As you know, we 109 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: understand how extreme the left has become, but what we 110 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: are witnessing right now is that there are many who 111 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: are dedicating their time to exposing far left radicals, and 112 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: one of those groups, Libs of TikTok, is doing a 113 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to pointing 114 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: out how much violence and hate are still brewing on 115 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: the left regarding Charlie. A teacher, for example, at King 116 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: Elementary School posts a video online appearing to celebrate Charlie 117 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: being assassinated. This person teaches your children. Any comments and 118 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: guess what happened when that was posted about a teacher 119 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: at King elementary school. There has now been accountability. There 120 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: is another post by another teacher at another high school 121 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: in Maine and what happened there. She said, we're not 122 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: offering sympathy moments after Charlie Kirk was shot. This teacher 123 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: has also been exposed. Republican activist Scott Presler is also 124 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: creating a database of such behavior and encouraging his followers 125 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: to send him any examples that they see online. Another 126 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania teacher by the name of Susan another high school. 127 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: One of Presler's posts made it clear this is a 128 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: woman who said, so yeah, I don't really care that 129 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: someone shot him dead. F him. This is another teacher 130 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: teaching your children, and so yes, there is some accountability 131 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: for the radical left that has been creating these killers, 132 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: these monsters. All right, I want to take a moment 133 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: and I want to talk to you real quick about 134 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: what you can do to help the people in Israel. 135 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: It was nearly two years ago that the terrorists murdered 136 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: more than twelve hundred innocent Israelis and they took two 137 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty hostages. Today, it seems as if the 138 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: cries of the dead and dying have been drowned out 139 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: by the shouts of anti Semitism and just pure hatred, 140 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: not just in America but around the world. And the 141 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: most brutal attack on Jewish people happened. It happened since 142 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: the Holocausts, and now it's like they're trying to act 143 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: like it never happened. Now, this is where it is 144 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: important for us to stand with the people in Israel. 145 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: It's a movement of love and support for the people 146 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: of Israel, and this is where I want you to 147 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: get involved.

How bad has it gotten 176 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: The radical Democratic Party has done this to our youngest generation. 177 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: Political violence is never acceptable, is the poll question of 178 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: baby boomers. Ninety three percent say political violence is never acceptable. 179 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: The number then goes down with gen X to eighty 180 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,599 Speaker 1: six percent who say political violence is never acceptable. The 181 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: number drops even lower with millennials to seventy one percent. 182 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: Just seventy one percent of millennials say political violence is 183 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: never acceptable. But here's the number you need to really 184 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: understand the left that's taken over our universities, in our 185 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: school public and private, have convinced the gen Zers the 186 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: political violence is acceptable. In fact, just fifty eight percent 187 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: of gen Zers say the political violence is never acceptable, 188 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: meaning forty two percent of gen Zer's believe the political 189 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: violence and what we've witnessed with Charlie Kirk is acceptable. 190 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: I want you to think about that. So, Yes, as 191 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: Reverend Franklin Graham put it, Charlie Kirk's voice is being magnified. Yes, 192 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: churches are full. Yes people are searching. Yes, people are 193 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: thinking and talking about what Charlie Kirk believed in. Yes, 194 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: more people now than probably ever before are watching and 195 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,599 Speaker 1: listening to what Charlie Kirk had said in the past. 196 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: But the reality is also very clear, there is still 197 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: a lot of hate. There is still a lot of 198 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: people out there that are celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk. 199 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: I want to play for you with the Speaker of 200 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: the House, Mike Johnson, had to say, as he was 201 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: one of the first to speak at the prayer vigil 202 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: at the Kennedy Center that was put on with forty 203 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: eight hours notice, and I want you to listen carefully 204 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: to his message about who Charlie Kirk was and what 205 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: it means going forward. 206 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 3: No, no, right, Thank you all so much. It does 207 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 3: my heart good to see you, and they hear that 208 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 3: all the way in heaven. I'm telling you, it's been 209 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 3: a very, very difficult week in America. We all know 210 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 3: that it's been a mixture of unspeakable sadness and grief 211 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 3: and anger and even fear. It's as if a dark 212 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 3: shadow was cast over our country, and certainly here even 213 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 3: on Capitol Hill. 214 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 4: The leaders of the nation have been shaken. 215 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 3: As have university students and college students and young people 216 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 3: all across the country. Is as if the ground was 217 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 3: shifted beneath us. We all felt it deep deep inside. 218 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 3: And in spite of that, we remember that our dear 219 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 3: friend Charlie would never want us to be overcome by despair. 220 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 4: He would want exactly the opposite. 221 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 3: You know, Charlie Kirk recruited and trained and educated a 222 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 3: generation of happy warriors, and we do well to be 223 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 3: reminded that the best way to honor his memory and 224 00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 3: to honor his unmatched legacy, is to live as Charlie did. 225 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 4: That's right. I just have two thoughts. 226 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 3: At a very brief moment I'm given to speak to 227 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 3: you tonight, I just want to give you two thoughts 228 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 3: in that regard. If we can do two things that 229 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 3: Charlie did, we will honor that legacy. One is to 230 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 3: advance his principles, and the other is to adopt his approach. 231 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 3: Now regarding his principles, Charlie was a man of deep 232 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 3: faith and conviction. Everyone here can testify to that, and 233 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 3: all the speakers will tonight. I mean, he meant it 234 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 3: to his core. He was authentic, and that's what drew 235 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 3: people to the message so much. And he believed in 236 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 3: the things that are noble and praiseworthy and good that 237 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 3: scripture talks about. He believed in family and freedom, faith 238 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 3: and virtue and patriotism. See, Charlie understood that we live 239 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 3: in the greatest nation in the history of the world. 240 00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 3: It's not even close. I don't care what anybody argues, 241 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 3: and Charlie could beat them all. We're the most We're 242 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 3: the most free, most successful, most powerful, most benevolent nation 243 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 3: that has ever been on the earth. And Charlie understood why, 244 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 3: and he wanted others to understand it as well, because 245 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 3: Charlie knew that if you don't understand the source. 246 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 4: Of your freedom, it is easy for it to be 247 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 4: taken away. 248 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 3: Charlie believed in the creed of our country, which we 249 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 3: will celebrate our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary next year, right. 250 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 3: Charlie loved to take university students and young people through 251 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 3: the second paragraph of the declaration. We hold these truths 252 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 3: to be self evident. By the way, students, what is 253 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 3: the self evident truth? That's something that's obvious. We hold 254 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 3: these truths to be self evident. That all men are 255 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 3: created equal, not born equal, created equal. 256 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 4: That's what Charlie knew. 257 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 3: And Charlie knew that because of that, because what the 258 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 3: Founders said, what they articulated that God created us, He's 259 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 3: the one that gave us our inn ailible rights. Charlie 260 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 3: Kirk stood for the principle and he shared it everywhere. 261 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 3: He could our rights do not derive from the state 262 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 3: or a king, They come from the King of kings. 263 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 4: Charlie also taught. 264 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 3: So effectively he did it as well as anybody in 265 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 3: his generation or possibly for many generations, that the other 266 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 3: principles that come from that what the founders do and 267 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 3: when they put this country together, this grand experiment in 268 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 3: self governance, they understood that we are made in the 269 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 3: image of God. 270 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 4: And because of that, that's right. Because of that, Charlie 271 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 4: knew and he believed. 272 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 3: It, and you could see it in how he he 273 00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 3: advanced this ministry of his. 274 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 4: He knew that because we're all made in the image 275 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 4: of God, every single person has an estimable dignity and value. 276 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 3: And your values are not related in any way or 277 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 3: the color of your skin, or what zip code you 278 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 3: live in where you go to school. It's irrelevant your 279 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 3: values and hear it because it is given to you 280 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 3: by God. 281 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 4: That's what Charlie Kirk believed. That's what Charlie Kirk believed. 282 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 3: If we could advance those principles that Charlie advanced, we'll 283 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 3: be able to save this great republic. 284 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 4: And that's what he was all about. But we should 285 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 4: also adopt his approach. 286 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 3: See Charlie loved a vigorous debate, but he loved people 287 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 3: more Charlie. That's right, Charlie. Charlie was never motivated by hate. 288 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 3: I mean he could cling the thock of anybody in 289 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 3: a debate. We all know it. 290 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 4: But you know what he did after those debates. 291 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 3: He was always the first person to reach out a 292 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 3: hand of friendship or to offer an arm around the 293 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 3: shoulder of someone who he felt was lost, because in 294 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 3: many places, inny cases, that people he was debating were 295 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 3: indeed loss, not just philosophically but spiritually. 296 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 4: And Charlie knew the truth, and he knew that eternity 297 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 4: awaits us all. We know exactly where Charlie is right now, 298 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 4: that's right. 299 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 3: Charlie had such faith and such such belief, and he 300 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,719 Speaker 3: wanted to share that truth with others. And what he 301 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 3: was trying to do is pull people back from the abyss, 302 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 3: not just to save a country, but to save souls. 303 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 3: That's what Charlie Kirk was about. And that will resonate. 304 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 3: It goes far beyond him. His legacy is immeasurable. I 305 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 3: used to be a lawyer. I defended free speech and 306 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 3: religious freedom and all that in the courts, and we 307 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 3: tried to We talked a lot about advancing and preserving 308 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 3: the free marketplace of ideas. I think Charlie Kirk offered 309 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 3: more productive content the free market place of ideas than 310 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 3: anyone in its general and arguably in the last hundred. 311 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 4: Years of US history. 312 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 3: I could go on and on, but I'm out of 313 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 3: time because you have a lot. 314 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 4: Of great people to hear from tonight. 315 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 3: Everybody has a story about Charlie and they're all worthy 316 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 3: to be shared. 317 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 4: And I wouldn't know. 318 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 3: We'll be doing that for many days to come. I 319 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 3: just leave you with a thought from Edmund Burke. It's 320 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 3: attributed to him, and Charlie knew this quote well. He 321 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 3: was my friend. We talked about these things. He reminded 322 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 3: young people, all that is necessary for the triumph of 323 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 3: evil is that good men do nothing. Charlie Kirk did 324 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 3: so much in his short life that he spurred that 325 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 3: on in other people. He inspired it in other people, 326 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 3: and that message and that truth will go. 327 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 4: More boldly now than it did while he was here. 328 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 4: It will go forward with power and strength. 329 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: That's it. 330 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 3: I've been asked to offer a brief word of prayer, 331 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 3: so if you would do that with me. Heavenly Father, 332 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 3: we come to you tonight in sadness, but also with 333 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 3: grateful hearts because we know that your truth endoors.

We pray and 352 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 3: believe all this. We commit our great nation to you 353 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 3: in Jesus' name. 354 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: Amen, you're the speaker of the house. There Mike Johnson 355 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: telling that incredible story of Charlie Kirk, his life and 356 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: his legacy. We are also hearing from the Pentagon there 357 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: will be, as they are describing it, a zero tolerance 358 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: policy for the cheering of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Pentagon officials 359 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: are now actively monitoring an alarming wave of public celebrations 360 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: over the assassination of Charlie Kirk and weighing action against 361 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,959 Speaker 1: any military members or to Apartment personnel who are involved. 362 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: The Defense Secretary p Deadseth, along with multiple other military 363 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: and department leaders, said the department is quote tracking celebrations 364 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: of Kirk's death among personnel and promised the issue will 365 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: be addressed immediately. In the wake of the assassination, there 366 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: is a lot of left leaning users on x blue 367 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: Sky and TikTok that are openly cheering the conservative leader's murder. 368 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: Several accounts allegedly tied to military personnel popping up quote 369 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: It's unacceptable for military personnel and Department of War civilians 370 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: to celebrator mock the assassination of a fellow American. That's 371 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: of the Pentagon's chief spokesman, Sean Parnell, a friend of mine, 372 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: by the way, posts on X saying the Department of 373 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: War has zero tolerance for it. It is unacceptable for 374 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: military personnel and Department of War civilians to celebrator mock 375 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: the assassination of a fellow American period. The Department of 376 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 1: the Air is also aware of inappropriate comments concerning recent 377 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: political violence. This behavior is unacceptable and contrary to our 378 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: core values. Airmen and guardsmen are expected up hold the 379 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: highest standard of professionalism and conduct at all times. This 380 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: is just one example of how left and how that, 381 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: I should say, the radical left has decided to indoctrinate 382 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: a younger generation to believe that if you're angry, you 383 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: can kill, if you're angry, you can have riots, if 384 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: you're angry, you can have violence. And what we've witnessed 385 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: since the assassination of Charlie Kirk is this, When the 386 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: right's angry, there are prayer visuals. When the left is angry, 387 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: there are riots and violence. We are clearly not the same. 388 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about my friends over 389 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: at Patriot Mobile. You've got a lot of choices for 390 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: cell phone service, with new ones popping up all all 391 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: the time. But if you want to make a difference 392 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: and you want to stop giving your money to liberal companies, well, 393 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: one way you can do that is by getting rid 394 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: of Liberal Mobile you probably have right now. That is 395 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: where hundreds of thousands of Americans are now coming together 396 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 1: and have made Patriot Mobile what they are today. They've 397 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: been in service now for thirteen years, and right now 398 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: is the best time ever to switch, because it's never 399 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: been easier. Now, before I tell you about that, I 400 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: want you to know why switching is so important. Because 401 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: every time you make a call, every time you send 402 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: a text, and every time that you pay your bill, 403 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: you're actually standing up for the values you believe in 404 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: your First and your Second Amendment rights, the rights of 405 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: unborn children, and you stand with our military, our veterans, 406 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: are wounded warriors, and our fallen soldier families. Because Patriot 407 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: Mobile takes about five percent of your bill every month 408 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: at no extra cost to you, and they give it 409 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: back to these organizations that fight for our values. Now, 410 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,959 Speaker 1: let's talk about switching. Is ever been easier You can 411 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: keep your same number, keep your same phone, or upgrade. 412 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile's got a one hundred percent US based customer 413 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: service team and literally they can now with technology get 414 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: you activated in minutes from the comforty your home or 415 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: your office. You're second a contractor owe money on your phones, 416 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: no worries. Patriot Mobile has a contract buyout program. And 417 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: this is how we win, folks by aligning our spinning 418 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 1: with our values. Every dollar we spend matters.

And there's even some Democrats that are breaking 437 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: with their party. John Fetterman, being mocked now begging Democrats 438 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 1: to stop calling Trump names the Democratic Party. He's now 439 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: a black sheep, as he's been described by The Daily Beast, 440 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 1: says of President Trump, it is unprecedented the number of 441 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: attacks on his administration, John Fetterman saying, is time that 442 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: it all stops. That it's something that we should not 443 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: have And what are Democrats doing right now? They're attacking 444 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: John Fetterman. Take a listen to part of what he 445 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: had to say about his own party. 446 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 5: I'm never going to change my party, but clearly we've 447 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 5: lost the argument. And now right now I think it's 448 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 5: entirely appropriate to really be honest and just figure out 449 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 5: why exactly have we effectively lost two out of less 450 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 5: three cycles and then a lot of the things. We've 451 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 5: really kind of really lost our connection with American voters 452 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 5: in ways. And I think we can't just be well, 453 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 5: Trump is always wrong, or that we're going to set 454 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 5: the country on fire or whatever. That's just not true either, 455 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 5: of course. But you know, when I represent a state 456 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 5: like Pennsylvania, that keeps you honest and you always can't 457 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 5: forget that a lot of Americans happen to disagree with you, 458 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 5: that does not mean that they are fascists or now 459 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 5: they want to shred the Constitution. 460 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 2: But when you hear some Democrats saying Trump is acting 461 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 2: like an. 462 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 5: Autocrat, yeah, no, that's the thing. I if you actually 463 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 5: compare them to an actual autocrat, that is not just that. 464 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 5: Now last night, for example, people were complain they're protesting 465 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 5: about oh, that's the Hitler Hitler thing. You just don't 466 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 5: ever ever compare anyone to Hitler and those kinds of 467 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 5: extreme things. Now, look what happened to Charlie Kirk. I mean, 468 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 5: the man was shot. Now we have to turn the 469 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 5: temperature down. It's like, we can't compare people to these 470 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 5: kinds of figures in history, and this is not an autocrat. 471 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 5: This is a product of a democratic election. 472 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: So you don't think that Trump is at all shattering 473 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: any of the norms of democracy. 474 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 5: In any way. I'm saying he's definitely different, but that's 475 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 5: what America voted for. Again, I don't agree with many 476 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 5: of these things, but that does not make him an 477 00:29:58,760 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 5: autocra atic. 478 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: Things I hear from Democrats a lot saying a reason 479 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: why voters may not like Democrats because they don't fight 480 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: hard enough. 481 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 2: Democrats would be fighting harder. 482 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 5: What do you say to folks, exactly what exactly is fighting? 483 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 5: What is fighting? You know, delay more votes or just 484 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 5: vote every no on everything, or saying well, if they're 485 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 5: doing X, well, then that mean it's wrong that kind 486 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 5: of thing. It's like, what exactly is is fighting? I'll 487 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 5: give you an example. It could be shutting the government down, like. 488 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 2: Some Democrats say, if this happens, it will be Trump's faults. 489 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 5: That's not fighting. That's mutilating our nation. If you vote 490 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 5: to shut our government down, you are going to harm 491 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 5: millions of Americans. And why would you do this? Where's 492 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 5: our leverage? It was wrong. It was wrong for the 493 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 5: Republicans to do that. Absolutely that's true. It is wrong 494 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 5: for the Republicans to do that. It would just be 495 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 5: wrong for us for those things. 496 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: Bigger picture, as your party shifted or have you shifted ideologically. 497 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 5: My party is acting in a way they have for gotten. 498 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,959 Speaker 5: They have forgotten one of the reasons why we lost 499 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty four. Some of the most extreme things 500 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 5: were weaponized against that and now some people think, now 501 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 5: we have to double down on those things, or we 502 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 5: must become more progressive or more extreme.
