Speaker 1 (00:16):
Well, I want to thank you very much. Lee. We've
been there from the beginning with us Lea. We appreciate it.
Nobody can sing that song like Lee Greenwood. Thank you
very much, Lee very much for being here. And his
voice has not changed. You know, It's pretty amazing And
(00:38):
a special thank you to Erica because today America is
a nation in grief, for nation in shock, and a
nation in morning. Less than two weeks ago, our country
was robbed of one of the brightest lights of our times.
A giant of his generation and a devoted husband, father's son,
(01:03):
Christian and patriot, Charles James Kirk was heinously murdered by
a radicalized, cold blooded monster for speaking the truth that
was in his heart. He was violently killed because he
spoke for freedom and justice, for God and country, for
(01:26):
reason and for common sense. He was assassinated because he
lived bravely, he lied boldly, and he argued brilliantly without apology.
He did what was right for our nation. And so
on that terrible day September tenth, twenty twenty five, our
(01:49):
greatest evangelist for American liberty became immortal. He's a martyr
now for American free them. I know I speak for
everyone here today when I say that none of us
will ever forget Charlie Kirk, and neither now will history,
(02:21):
Because while Charlie has been reunited with his creator in heaven,
his voice on earth will echo through the generations, and
his name will live forever in the eternal chronicle of
America's greatest patriots. He will live forever. To Charlie's incredible
(02:44):
and beautiful widow, Erica, we know the weight of this
monumental loss is almost unbearable. But even in the midst
of heartache and pain too great to even fathom, you
have somehow found the strength and deep faith to be
a comfort to millions and millions of people. And thank
(03:07):
you very much, Erica, Thank you very much. Today an
entire nation wraps its loving arms around you, and beautiful children.
We share your immense and overwhelming sorrow, and we vow
(03:28):
that we will do everything we can to ensure that
your children grow up in a land where their father
is honored and revered as a great American hero. That's
what he is. To Charlie's parents who lost their beloved son,
(03:50):
and to the entire Kirk family, we know that no
words can ever be enough to fill the void he
leaves behind. That's the void that just can't be filled.
But I hope the extraordinary outpouring of emotion over these
past eleven days has comforted you with the knowledge that
your son brought more good and love into this world
(04:10):
in his thirty one short years than most people, even
very very successful people, can bring in a lifetime. Charlie
Kirk loved America with everything he had, and as we
can see so clearly today, America loved Charlie Kirk, and
(04:43):
he could always draw a big crowd. Look at this today,
Look at what's gone on. This is a big crowd
here today. We have the Vice President of the United States, JD. Vans.
We have the Speaker of the US House of Representatives,
(05:06):
Mike Johnson. We have countless members of the United States Senate.
And I'm sorry, I'm not going to introduce you, but
I'll be up here. They're roll over the place, and
likewise the House of Representatives, they're all over this big stadium.
This is not an arena. This is a stadium. Our
great Cabinet and the State impact with rafters of people.
(05:33):
Not to mention the one across the street that also
has tens of thousands of people, and they're watching us
on screen right now, and I'm sorry we couldn't get
you in. If anybody would like to give up your seat,
(05:53):
please walk across the straight. But this is like an
old time revival, Well, isn't it an all time revival?
For millions of Americans, especially young people. It is agonizing
and unthinkable to say goodbye to a patriot whose heart
(06:16):
still had so much to give it so much. Raised
in the suburbs of Chicago, Charlie was filled with the
patriotic spirit from his youth, and he was an all
American and everything he did and one of the last
things he said to me is, please, sir, save Chicago.
We're going to do that. We're going to save Chicago
(06:38):
from horrible crime. In high school, he was the quarterback
of the football team and the captain of the basketball team.
He's a good athlete. A lot of people don't know
that about Charltte. He was an eagle scout who spent
his school lunch breaking to another champion for liberty, somebody
(07:04):
that he greatly admired, Rush Limbaugh. But while was even
more important to Charlie than politics and service was the
choice he made in the fifth grade, which he called
the most important decision of his life, to become a
(07:25):
Christian and a follower of his savior, Jesus Christ. Inspired
by faith and his love of freedom, Charlie did something
remarkable when he was just eighteen years old, on the
(07:47):
advice of a mentor who told him to put off
going to college because he was doing so well, he
devoted his life to converting young people to the conservative cause.
How did he do?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Good?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Look? How did he dude? In twenty twelve, two days
after graduating high school and with just eighteen hundred dollars
in his pocket, the young man from Illinois, who no
one had ever heard of, started an organization whose grand
(08:21):
ambitions were captured in its name, Turning Point USA. Great name,
and I have a feeling it's going to be bigger
and better than ever before. Does that make sense? It's
going to be bigger and better than ever before. Look
at what's happening. Twelve years ago, Charlie walked onto his
(08:49):
first college campus, the very liberal University of Wisconsin at Madison.
He set up a card table and put up a
sign with three words big government sucks. Could you believe
that that's Charlie. That day, Charlie talked to every student
who approached him, most of whom were probably quite a
(09:12):
bit older than he was. Finally, after many hours, he
found the first ever Turning Point chapter leader. His first
year out of high school, Charlie traveled three hundred days,
raising money and taking his message to campuses all over
the country. He lived out of his parents' basement, and
(09:33):
they actually loved having him there. They loved Charlie. Everybody
loved Charlie, and on the couches of friends and supporters.
He lived off couches for two years, three years. Then
life started getting a little bit different, but he was
always the same. For five years, he refused to take
(09:55):
a paycheck, but day after day he worked from five
am in the morning till eleven pm in the evening.
Always his staff remembers that he wore walmartjeans and T
shirts from the good Will store, Remember the good Will store.
It wasn't easy, but Charlie wasn't in it for money
(10:18):
at all, never has been. Money was never his thing.
He was always in it for the mission. As he
liked to say, even back then, we have a country
to save, just what he did call me all the time, Sir,
we have our country to say, I said, Charlie, thanks
very much for telling me that I appreciate it. Charlie
(10:42):
volunteered from my twenty sixteen campaign and traveled the nation
with my son Don and Eric. I got to know
him very well, and so immediately that Charlie was actually
a master builder, builder of people. It was Charlie who
(11:03):
first started organizing young black conservatives hungry for support and leadership.
It was Charlie who stood up for persecuted Christians and
Jews on college campuses. It was Charlie who helped bring
online censorship, free speech, and cancel culture to the four
of our political debate. He was right up there with me.
(11:27):
It was Charlie who helped unite MAGA and you know
Whatha is that's right, make America healthy again. And tomorrow
we're going to have one of the biggest announcement really medically,
I think in the history of our country. We're going
to be doing it with Bobby and Oz and all
(11:51):
of the professionals. I think you're going to find it
to be amazing. I think we found an answer to autism.
That autism. Tomorrow We're going to be talking in the
Oval Office in the White House about autism, how it happens,
(12:13):
so we won't let it happen anymore, and how to
get at least somewhat better when you have it, so
that parents can help their child, their beautiful child. That's
a big one. I've been I've been bugging everybody over
there get the answer to that. You know, twenty years ago,
(12:40):
one in ten thousand, we're born with autism. Twenty years ago.
The most recent survey says one in twelve. How bad
is that? That's for young boys, baby boys, but also
(13:01):
girls a little bit better, it's about one in twenty.
But we can't because obviously there was something really wrong,
and we think we know what that is.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
It's going to be.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I think it's going to be one of the most
important news conferences I'll ever have, and I look so
forward to it. And you know who else looked forward
to it because he knew I tell him a little
bit about what was going on, was Charlie. He would
have been front row center. Believe me, we'll be missing
(13:34):
him tomorrow. It was such a big deal for him too.
He brought together Donald Trump, Bobby Kennedy right here in
the great state of Arizona one year ago. Remember that,
What a night, what a day that was. And it
(13:55):
was Charlie who was among the first to speak to
me about a man from Ohio by the name of Jdvens.
Have you ever heard of him? So in a good job.
But Charlie would often call me sometimes the night before
(14:16):
a big event the other side of the country, and
it asked me and say, do you think you could
come and speak at the event the following day? Right,
I'd say, Charlie, I give me a break. I'm the
President of the United States. You want me to travel
four hours by plage? And you know, sometimes I did it.
(14:39):
He was a very good guy who was a very
convincing guy. He didn't stop, but he would ask for
things like that, sir, could you be tomorrow in California?
They said, Charlie, give me a break, please. He just
wouldn't stop, and he succeeded. But I almost always went
because you never wanted to let Charlie down. He worked
(15:02):
so hard. You just didn't want to let him down.
I felt guilty. He'd make me feel very guilty. As president,
many people asked me for things, But Charlie was one
of the few who always gave more than he took.
He was a giver much more than a taker. And
(15:25):
no matter how big Charlie became, no one was too
small for him to notice. He was good to everybody
didn't matter. Several years ago, a fourth grader is Charlie
to appear on his podcast, which was probably only watched
by the parents of that fourth grader, and Charlie, who
was actually pretty hot at the time, to be honest,
(15:47):
he agreed, and the boy asked for advice. Charlie replied,
the left, the left. I call it the radical left.
I call it sometimes the radical left lunatic. But Charlie
didn't say that. He called it the left. He was
probably right, but I can't help it. I can't help so,
(16:15):
he said, the left, radical left lunatics may have all
the money in the world, but they can never outwork me.
I will wake up as early as I need to
about himself. I will stay up as late as I
need to, and I will never stop fighting for our country.
And he did this until his dying breadth. That's what
he was doing. That's what he was doing. Think of it. Wow,
(16:44):
what a horrible moment. I was in the Oval office
when I heard they came in, and it was like
a surreal experience, a terrible, terrible I had some very
big people in the Oval office, and I was in
the midst of a very important conversation for our country,
big people, the biggest, and I said, you have to
leave now. When they told me that, they told me
(17:07):
in front of a group of very powerful people, I said,
you have to leave now, right now, please, right now,
you have to leave. Go. By his own determination and skill,
Charlie Kirk built turning point from his humble beginnings, the
beginnings that nobody believed could ever end up something like
(17:28):
this into a great movement and a juggernaut of American politics.
And you know, we have a massive stadium loaded up
with people. But he got tremendous crowds before he had
this kind of horrible news and before we had to
hear what happened so terribly. He delivered more than two
hundred and fifty speeches a year at over two hundred
(17:50):
colleges and universities, and that was at a time when
it was not really vogue to go to colleges and
universities if you were a conservative. It really took great courage,
and we used to talk and I said, you know,
I think they're much more conservative than we know, and
(18:11):
he agreed. But it just wasn't something that was happening,
because the radical left would do very bad things, very dangerously.
But Charlie set up chapters on twenty two hundred campuses
and spoke at more than one thousand churches. He launched
a podcast and radio show that grew to an audience
(18:33):
of one million Americans a day, one of the bigger
shows on radio. And Charlie didn't just bring young people
into the movement all of a sudden, it started to
grow by leaps and bounds. By twenty twenty four, we
won more young people than any Republican candidate in the
history of our country, including for the first time, a
(18:55):
majority of males under thirty. Can you believe it. Remember
when Republican presidential candidates would get four percent. Now we
did unbelievably with young people, and he was a big,
big factor. Unbelievable, But he made me work for it. Sure,
(19:18):
you have to make a speech here, you have to
make a speech there. But we did it, and we won,
and our country is doing unbelievably. Well, now we had
a country that was dead one year ago, and now
we have the hottest country anywhere in the world, and
Charlie helped us make it that one of the great people.
(19:45):
But through it all, the core of Charlie's message and
his basic method never changed. It never really changed. He's
stayed the same person. Also, at every campus event, Charlie
asked the people who disagreed with him to come forward,
and instead of of silencing them, he handed them a
microphone and let them speak. And he'd convinced so many
(20:07):
of them it was pretty amazing thing to watch. Actually,
shortly before Charlie arrived on campus the day he was assassinated,
as a staff member texted him that there were many
critics and students who were opposed to his views and
rather strenuously in the crowd, and that actually made him
feel good because he wanted to convince them he understood.
(20:29):
He really did. He understood what was right, and he
was right about that. A lot of it was based
on common sense, by the way, Charlie wrote back to
the staff member saying, I'm not here to fight them.
I want to know them and love them, and i
want to reach them and try and lead them into
(20:49):
a great way of life in our country. In that
private moment on his dying day, we find everything we
need to know about who Charlie Kirk truly was. He
was a missionary with a noble spirit and a great,
great purpose. He did not hate his opponents. He wanted
(21:11):
the best for them. That's where I disagreed with Charlie.
I hate my opponent and I don't want the best
for them. I'm sorry. I am sorry Erica. But now
Erica can talk to me and the whole group and
maybe they can convince me that that's not right. But
I can't stand my opponent. Charlie's angry looking down. He's
(21:34):
angry at me that he wasn't interested in demonizing anyone.
He was interested in persuading everyone to the ideas and
principles he believed were good, right and true. Before each appearance,
he prayed these words, God, used me for your will.
(21:55):
Always said the same thing, use me for your will.
And that is exactly what God did. When you think
that's exactly what he did. The more success Charlie had,
and he was getting more and more successful, the more
dangerous his mission became. On campuses all over the country.
(22:19):
His quest for open dialogue was met with menacing hate.
There were bomb threats, pulled fire alarms, and countless rage
filled radicals who tried to shout him down. It was nasty.
I used to say, Charlie, this is nasty stuff. You
do it at what event? Police had to build barricades
(22:41):
to protect students from an angry mob of thugs. Many
of these people, by the way, are paid a lot
of money to do this. They're agitators. They're paid agitators.
Remember that when you see they all have the same
beautifully printed sign. Every sign is identical, comes out of
a top level print up. That's not the signs that
(23:02):
are made in somebody's basement. Those are paid for by
very bad people. And hopefully we're going to be finding
out through the DOJ who those people are. At another college,
Antifa terra shattered windows, through rocks and tried to storm
(23:23):
the building where Charlie was speaking. It was a really
bad one. Often dozens of police officers were needed to
prevent left wing violence, and the violence comes largely from
the left. You don't hear that from too many people,
do you, And virtually every day for years before he
(23:43):
was murdered, Charlie received these horrible death threats. People don't know.
I used to talk to him about it. He said,
I got some threats. He always felt that when they
actually made the threat, they were not the ones to
worry about, the ones to worry about the ones that
don't make their threats. I think you know what I mean.
(24:04):
He knew the risk, but he and I shared a
certain motto. Never back down and never ever surrendered. Just
don't surrender, never back down. He believed in it so strongly,
so struggling, and he's right, He's totally He's totally right.
The radicals and their allies in the media, sometimes referred
(24:25):
to as my son said the fake news media tried
to silence Charlie for a simple reason because he was winning,
and he was winning big. He was taking over college campuses,
colleges that had in theory only very liberal or as
they like to say, progressive. I call them liberal, but
(24:46):
they like to call themselves it's such a beautiful word, progressive.
They're the opposite of progressive if you think about it.
But they were really nasty, and he would go into
these colleges all of a sudden, within two years three
years they turned into bastians of conservatism. It was really
quite amazing to see they lied about him because they
(25:07):
did not want you to listen to him or to
learn from him, because what he was talking about and
even preaching made so much sense. Everywhere he went. He
won the debates, he won the hearts, he won the minds,
and yes, he won the elections for people. He helped us,
he helped other people. We won the biggest election in
the history of our country. I believe Charlie Kirk was,
(25:36):
without a doubt among the most influential figures and the
most important election in the history of our country, the
election of Oh that beautiful day November fifth, twenty twenty four.
Do you remember that day? It was nine months ago.
What a day that was. I mean, we had a
(25:58):
pretty good day in the first one, and I must
tell you on the second one, we had a phenomenal day.
But a lot of bad things happened. And now that's
not even questioned. They cheated like dogs, But we got
them back, didn't We have got them back. But we
(26:19):
owe Charlie a profound and eternal debt of gratitude. Now,
just like Charlie and Erica made turning point hot we
are looking at a country that has the chance to
attain a level like never before. Tariffs are making us
rich again, richer than anybody ever thought it was possible.
(26:44):
And the only one challenging them are people that hate
our country or foreign countries that are paying a price
because they did the same thing to us for years.
They took advantage of us. But we're we're making money,
we're becoming rich and richer, and we're taking care of
our people better and better when we do that, and
(27:05):
we can take care of other countries better and better.
But we're doing unbelievably well. The tariffs have really been
a hole. The election was big, but the tariffs because
of the election came in and remember other nations do
that to us, and Charlie understood that. He saw the
money he saw was coming into our country and we
can use that for Medicare, Medicaid, social Security, all of
(27:28):
these things that we fight so hard for. And that's
exactly what's happening. The numbers are incredible. When the news
finally came out on election night last November that the
race was officially one, came out pretty early in the
night Charlie was live on camera in that moment, he
(27:49):
was overcome with emotion. I've never seen him like this.
He was so happy. For a long while, he said nothing,
his eyes were filled with tears, and then he buried
his face in his hands and he started crying. That
wasn't that Charlie I knew, But in thinking about it,
it actually was that Charlie. I knew because he had
a tremendous heart. He just wanted what was good for
(28:10):
our country, and he saw us going in such a
horrible direction. Lovingly, Eric and this was so beautiful. Erica
put a Maga hat on to cover his bowed head.
I like that very much. Maga, we love? Does everybody love? Maga?
Make America great again? When Joe Biden used to get up,
(28:35):
remember the speeches, we will stop, Maga, we will stop Mega,
you know, he could barely get the words out we
will stop, I said, Can somebody inform him the Maga
means make America great again? How do you say you're
going to stop it? And Charlie understood that. When Charlie
finally looked up and spoke, he smiled through the watery
(28:57):
eyes and simply said, I am humbled by God's grace.
That was his statement, that I was watching him. I
was very impressed. Actually, it showed he had a big heart.
Every single American should take a long, hard look at
the twisted soul and dark spirit of anyone who would
(29:19):
want to kill a young man as good as Charlie,
to kill anybody, but to kill a man like this.
He didn't deserve this. He didn't deserve this. Our country
didn't deserve this, and anyone who would make excuses for
it are just out of their mind. Charlie's murder was
not just an attack on one man or one movement.
(29:42):
It was an attack on our entire nation. That was
a horrible attack on the United States of America. It
was an assault on our most sacred liberties and God
given rights. The gun was pointed at him, but the
bullet was aimed at all of us. That bullet was
aimed that every one of us. Indeed, Charlie was killed
(30:03):
for expressing the very ideas that virtually everyone in this
arena and most other places throughout our country deeply believed in.
But the assassin failed at his quest. Because Charlie's message
has not been silenced, it now is bigger and better
and stronger than ever before. And it's not even close.
(30:30):
And it's rare that such a thing happens. But Charlie
is bigger today than he was. Think about it just
two weeks ago. He's bigger today than he was two
weeks ago. Now, that may not help his friends and
loved ones, of which there are so many. It may
not help Eric and those beautiful children who have to
(30:50):
suffer so horribly through this moment, but they know it's true.
He's bigger now than ever before. And he's eternal. He's eternal,
and I just want to say we love him. And
he's looking down at us right now and he say, wow,
that's a great crowd. He say, that's a great crowd,
(31:16):
and it's a great crowd of patriots. But that's why
I will soon award Charlie the nation's highest civilian honor,
the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It's the highest civilian honor.
(31:43):
And we will do the ceremony at our beautiful White
House in a very safe Washington, DC, a place at
Charlie truly revered. You know, we stopped the crime in
Washington took twelve days. Now you can go to you
can walk down the middle of the street with your wife.
(32:04):
You can have your wife walk alone down the middle
of the street. She's going to be in good shape.
What a difference, What a difference good management really makes.
But it's I'm so proud of that Washington, DC. You know,
it is one of the worst in the nation, in
the world, and now it's considered a very safe city.
And it's also I passed it yesterday. I went through
(32:26):
it and the lawns are good. It's like a different place.
It's like the ten Sagon, the threat Sagon, the gangs
aren't there. We got rid of you know, we took
out fifteen hundred career criminals. Fifteen hundred If you have
three career criminals, that can make a big difference. But
(32:47):
I'm so proud of Washington, d C. And now we're
going into Memphis and we'll get that one straightened out fast.
And then we're going into some others. But we're going
to go to Chicago, and we're gonna have Charlie very
much in when we go into Chicago and we'll get
that one straightened out. You have an incompetent governor who
he thinks it's okay when eleven people get murdered over
(33:09):
the weekend, he thinks you don't have any crime. When
eleven people get murdered and twenty eight people get shot,
he says, he's got crime.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Now.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
They they don't have it under control, but we'll have
it under control very quickly. So we're going to be
doing that. And Charlie loved what we were doing. He
was so proud of what happened. He was there to
see it. He so proud of what happened in Washington, DC.
As you know, the depraved assassin who planned and executed
charlie Is killing has been arrested and charged with capital murder.
(33:43):
God willing he will receive the full and ultimate punishment
for his horrific crime. It's a terrible thing because you
can't let that happen. You can't let that happen, can't
let it happen to a country. The Department of Justice
is also investigating networks of radical left maniacs who fund, organize, fuel,
(34:07):
and perpetrate political violence. And we think we know who
many of them are. But law enforcement can only be
the beginning of our response to Charlie's murder. Over the
last eleven days, we have heard stories of commentators, influencers,
and others in our society who greeted his assassination with
(34:30):
sick approval, excuses, or even jubilation. You've heard that, so
I I couldn't believe it. Some of the very same
people who spent the last eight years trying to sit
in moral judgment of anyone who disagreed with them about
politics suddenly started cheering for a murder. Incredible, you know
(34:51):
the names. They're major losers, by the way they'll be.
That will be proven out in a short period of time.
Some of the very people who call you a hater
for using the wrong pronoun were filled with lee at
the killing of a father with two beautiful young children.
(35:11):
And the same commentators who this week are screaming fascism
over canceled late night TV show where the anchor had
no talent and no ratings last week, we're implying that
Charlie Kirk deserved what happened to him. No side in
(35:31):
American politics has a monopoly undisturbed or misguided people. But
there's one part of our political community which believes they
have a monopoly on truth, goodness, and virtue and concludes
they have also a monopoly on power, thought and speech. Well,
that's not happening anymore. We've turned that corner very quickly, tragically.
(35:53):
Atrocities of this kind and kind that we saw in Utah,
of all places, are the eventual consequence of that kind
of thinking. If speech is violence, then some are bound
to conclude that violence is justified to stop speech, and
we're not going to let that be justified. The tradition
(36:13):
of reason and open debate that Charlie practiced is not
a pillar of our democracy. In many ways, it's the
basis of our entire society. It's the right and inheritance
of every free American, the greatest legacy of the Enlightenment
and among the most treasured achievements of civilization. We will
(36:36):
defend it at all costs, and we will carry forward
the torch of liberty that Charlie Kirk held so proud
and so high. He was so proud, and he did
hold that torch high. We will never ever let it fail.
We will never let it fail. But we're going to
raise it higher than ever before. It's going to be raised,
(36:58):
and this is the beginning. Perhaps it should be no
surprise that Charlie, who spent his life. Speaking with the
critics of these traditions, ultimately became convinced that we needed
not just a political realignment, but also a spiritual reawakening.
We did, and we have to bring back religion to
America because without borders, law and order, and religion, you
(37:21):
really don't have a country anymore. We want religion brought
back to America. We want to bring God back into
our beautiful USA like never before. We want God back.
Charlie would have been so pleased to hear his friends
(37:41):
and colleagues today giving testimony and giving glory to God.
Within minutes of the gunshot and Utah, millions of Americans
young and old heard the news and dropped to their
knees and started praying, even many who rarely pray to
ask God for America. Please God save Charlie. But although
(38:03):
Charlie's time with us on earth has ended, those prayers
for a miracle have already been answered. Look at what's happening.
Look at what's happening. In the day since Charlie's death,
we have seen how his legacy has touched so many
millions around the world. In Calgary, Countada, thousands gathered at
(38:25):
city Hall to sing the American national anthem and raise
up posters with the name Charlie Kirk. In Seoul, South Korea,
crowds gathered to waive American flags and shout we are
for Charlie Kirk. His memory has been honored in the
streets of Berlin, Warsaw, of Vianna, Sydney, Madrid, London, Tel Aviv,
(38:49):
and all over the world. So beautiful to watch. As
far away as rural Australia. Texted a pastor, I'm going
to come to church tomorrow for the first time ever.
The pastor is, why is that? The man replied, because
(39:11):
of Charlie Kirk. Can you imagine? The lesson of Charlie's
life is that you should never underestimate what one person
can do with a good heart, a righteous cause, a
cheerful spirit, and the will to fight, fight, fight, have
to fight saving our country. And Charlie's a big factor,
(39:38):
such a big factor. Charlie Kirk started with only an
idea to change minds on college campuses, and instead he
ended up with a far greater achievement, changing history, changed history. Today.
Charlie Kirk rests in glory in heaven for all eternity.
(40:00):
He's gone from speaking on campuses in Wisconsin to kneeling
at the throne of God where he is right now.
We grieve for the friend and leader that we have lost,
but we go forward, strengthened by his faith and bolstered
(40:21):
by his courage, and inspired by his example, to defend
the country he lived for, for the freedoms he died for,
and the values in which he so deeply believed. He
believed in, values that we should all believe in. Charlie
created something very special. It's called Turning Point USA, and
(40:41):
under the leadership and love of Erica, it will become
bigger and better and stronger than ever before. So Charlie,
we all want to thank you. We want to say
a very loud God bless you, Charlie. God bless you
(41:03):
for what you've done is incredible, and God bless Erica
and the children. God bless the United States of America.
And could I ask Erica please come out, Erica, please
come out.
Speaker 5 (41:16):
Thank you, Thank you very much, everybody, thank you very much,
(42:22):
Good luck, God be with you.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (42:37):
As lusion, David Brody, doctor Gina Mode Bannon joins us.
Speaker 4 (44:59):
What a conclusion President Trump powerful address at the end
leaves with the widow to God bless America.
Speaker 7 (45:08):
Your thoughts really beautiful, Gosh, how how do you top this?
You know, we were looking at people who've probably never
been to a church's office, Elon must as you said,
probably never heard the gospel heard it today? Really just
a beautiful day. You can't say enough. Erica is a
pillar of strength and beauty. She couldn't looked more like
(45:29):
an angel, and she had weeks absolutely beautiful. And I
think she's America's new hero for sure, David.
Speaker 8 (45:35):
No doubt.
Speaker 9 (45:36):
We thought we were going to a memorial, a funeral,
if you will.
Speaker 3 (45:39):
Today we went to a revival at the beginning of
a revival.
Speaker 10 (45:42):
That's what happened today.
Speaker 9 (45:43):
As for Erica, Kirk, let me just simply say the line.
And it wasn't just a line, It was from the heart.
Speaker 3 (45:48):
That man, I forget him. Wow, I mean, my goodness,
was that.
Speaker 9 (45:52):
The line of the entire I mean, just in terms
of the actual speeches.
Speaker 3 (45:56):
I have actually tend to agree with President Trump.
Speaker 11 (45:59):
All really her And.
Speaker 4 (46:03):
By the way, it's already the lead across the world
Daily Mail, Guardian, New York Times.
Speaker 10 (46:08):
I forgive him no, Ben, and you were down on
the floor.
Speaker 3 (46:11):
Tell us it put us in, put us down on
the floor.
Speaker 12 (46:13):
What was like, I mean, it was definitely a revival
of ben There a lot of us like you're.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
In the worship.
Speaker 12 (46:18):
But when Erica spos you knew that Charlie left everything
in good chance. With Erica the Lioness, she's gonna leads
hurting point even greater than Charlie did. But she's a
better woman than me to say I forgive I forgive him,
So that's fair.
Speaker 13 (46:38):
And you know, you could have heard a pin drop
she was talking.
Speaker 4 (46:41):
And let me just be clear, some of her moments
in that speech were those remarks were incredible, amazing.
Speaker 9 (46:46):
You know, Charlie really had a focus on young men.
Now comes to the young women because there is a
crisis among young women and himself forth and being virtuous.
Speaker 3 (46:55):
In all of that.
Speaker 4 (46:56):
Still today you've seen the Pauline where the young men
want to have family and and and get married. On
progressive liberal women, I think it's it's the lowest.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
I mean, it's we have.
Speaker 4 (47:07):
A crisis among particularly college educated women right and.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
Hopefully Erica Kirk will put her great talents out well.
Speaker 12 (47:14):
And I think that Charlie brought young men. He brought
young men out in rows to vote for President Trump,
and young men are what saved this country in twenty
twenty four. But I think that Erica Kirk.
Speaker 10 (47:24):
Is going to bring a young women to this. Yes, yes,
I also just want.
Speaker 12 (47:28):
To when Erico is speaking the flag America flags are
pretty still most of the day today, but when Erica
was speaking and she was speaking about Charlie and their marriage,
the flag kept waving.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (47:42):
I honestly wave.
Speaker 12 (47:42):
Charlie's actually hearing them.
Speaker 1 (47:44):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (47:45):
Talk to me all of you that, particularly for our
audience that are maybe traditional Catholics or other faiths, are
just agnostic.
Speaker 3 (47:53):
What this was an evangelical service all day one, even
jose preacher.
Speaker 13 (47:59):
Yeah, this was posible.
Speaker 7 (48:01):
And I remember Steve going and you remember this, you
know twenty fifteen, I was doing my hits on media
and I would walk into Christian women's boots and I
would and they would boo me off the stage because
I was on TV defending Donald Trump for president and
nobody was there yet, especially not evangelical Christians, not pro
(48:22):
life boots. And I remember saying to them, I know
you all have asked.
Speaker 10 (48:26):
For and prayed for revival.
Speaker 7 (48:28):
What if we saw a revival happened because the President
Trump listened.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
I don't know if you said that.
Speaker 10 (48:35):
I guess you could hear a pin drop.
Speaker 4 (48:36):
At that time.
Speaker 14 (48:37):
Yeah, no, nobody was buying.
Speaker 7 (48:38):
We begin see if that's how that went. But today
we can know Charlie would have never been such a
great defender. I don't think of any of the establishment
rhinos that were out there that people wanted for president
at that time. It was President Trump that brought him
in and we have see.
Speaker 3 (48:54):
Revival even President Trump's speech.
Speaker 4 (48:56):
Three corps of President Trump's speech was about religion and
Charlie Kirk in his faith. That's what I think today
people realize the one hundred thousand, you know, the seventy
five thousand people here at Cardinal Stadium, with the fifteen
or twenty across the street, that taking every hotel in
the area and putting up on big screen. You know,
we had three hundred thousand ticket requests, millions of people.
(49:17):
The streaming numbers, everybody's numbers are huge because people want
to see it. The key today from ten o'clock in
the morning we started here now to what over at
what four o'clock and no, sorry, seven o'clock in the morning,
in a Pacific time o'clock, seven o'clock in the morning,
all the way now to uh to what four in
the afternoon. The whole service was a muscular Christianity. This
(49:41):
is why I put out the New York Times in
MSNBC are going to lead tomorrow because you know they're
melting down muscular.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
You know, a form of muscular.
Speaker 4 (49:51):
Christianity, Christian Nationalism was put forward here in the in
the in the memorial service for a slain American martyr.
Speaker 14 (50:01):
And they're going to.
Speaker 4 (50:02):
Freak out because you had this Director of National Intelligence,
you had the head of the.
Speaker 3 (50:08):
Personnel Office, and the President, Secretary of War, Secretary.
Speaker 4 (50:11):
Of State, Vice President, the United States President of the
United States, and not just Charlie's team and the widow,
I mean the most.
Speaker 3 (50:20):
Powerful people in the United States government in the world.
Speaker 4 (50:23):
And we've never had this, even in the nineteenth century
or the eighteenth century, and we've never had that professed
about a guy's live Christianity.
Speaker 9 (50:32):
And what it's doing is people all over the world,
especially governments all over the world, are taking notice of
what was preached here today by our governmental leaders on revival.
I just want to break it down real quick because
a lot of people if you're not in that evangelical space,
revival Okay, it.
Speaker 1 (50:48):
Sounds great, but what does it really mean.
Speaker 9 (50:50):
Here's what it means, get busy with God. And what
I mean by that is you need to actually have
God control your lives and control your life and really get.
Speaker 14 (51:00):
Right with God. And once you get right with God, that.
Speaker 9 (51:02):
Will change the churches, that will change the communities, that
will change the nation.
Speaker 14 (51:06):
That's how revival works.
Speaker 3 (51:08):
It orders, it orders hammer.
Speaker 4 (51:11):
Second, we've got we've got Ed Martin or with the
Justice Department. Uh, you know, David, myself and uh and
doctor Gina not ed very well all those years, Mo,
you're going to stick around. Please stick around for a
few minutes. Ed Martin, thank you joining us. I know
you've been working all day in the Justice Department, but
you for years were one of the leaders of the
conservative movement with Philis Schlaffley.
Speaker 3 (51:33):
I mean this, this would have.
Speaker 4 (51:35):
Been a day she would have loved and also a
day that she never would think in a millionaires would come.
Speaker 8 (51:41):
Ed Martin, Yeah, yeah, you know, Steven's I know, you
know what I mean. And you've been around a while.
It's a weird day, right for me. I knew Charlie
like as a kid coming up, he was younger. A
lot of us flipped, as Gina said, we flipped when
we started out thinking we were his mentor, and then
we flipped because he was our leader. To see this happen.
(52:01):
I'm sort of haunted by it in a way that
I'm I'm surprised, But today was I've been watching it
and had it on as you point out, in the
office on the side, and and and I was. I
was energized by it. I was moved by parts of it,
and I was energized by it, and quite a celebration.
Uh does feel like a turning point for our country
and for a lot of us how we see things.
(52:24):
But you mentioned Phyllis two. A couple of things. One
is Pasovic told the story. Gina. You'll smile because Gina,
I've been getting together with Phillips, Schlafley and Eagles and
all these things for decades. And Pasovic told the story
that he came to Eagle Council a few years ago
and I said to him, Hey, Jack, I need to
go to the airport and pick up this guy. He's
coming in and you may not have met him, Charlie Kirk,
(52:45):
and that was the first time Pasobic and Kirk met
and they became great pals and great warriors together. But
Phillis had this way of connecting. She saw talent, she
saw people with potential and she and she sort of
not have to guide them. She sort of let it
rip and she would get she would get the signal
sort of like the eagle signal would go out that
(53:06):
they were legit. And she knew Charlie saw it. He
was really young. He's from Illinois, you know. Phyllis was
from Alton, Illinois, and she early on as he was
just starting because she died in twenty sixteen, but she
saw him, and she met him, and she heard about
a guy not going to college who was doing this stuff,
and she was excited. And then John Slapley and I
both believed in what he was doing, and he out
(53:27):
succeeded all of us in terms of his vision. But
it's a wonderful day. I thought the president speech was powerful.
He's really he's really an extraordinary capture of the moment.
And like Charlie, he had the joy. Like Phyllis, he
had the joy of the moment as well as the sadness.
So it's extraordinary and I, as you say, Steve, the
(53:52):
movement will not be stopped. The questions are always how
do we find the new leaders? We lost a big leader,
we lost one of the most talented generals. Now the
question is who's stepping up, and how are they stepping up,
and how will they develop and what's coming next? And
I'm more excited and more convinced of the Golden Age
(54:13):
of Trump than I've ever been before watching today, Ed.
Speaker 4 (54:18):
You've been probably one of the most two or three
most attacked people in President Trump's orbit.
Speaker 3 (54:24):
And I know personally how much the.
Speaker 4 (54:26):
President respects what you're doing in particularly respects the way
you're fighting through things that you're getting so much done
for him and for the country and for the Justice Department.
You're relentlessly attacked. What do you think, particularly giving your
experience with Phyllis Schlaffley in the Eagles, to have a
Director of National Intelligence, to have a Secretary of War,
a Secretary of State, a Vice President of the United States,
(54:49):
and the head of White House personnel, you know, the
top You know five or six people in the government
talk about their profess the live Christianity, their professed Christianity
and why that was what really was the bond they
had with Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 8 (55:05):
Sir, Yeah, you know, Steve, It's funny, isn't it, because
you and I've been sort of there for years now,
and even you know in some in some ways the
sort of militant faith. You know, the part of the
part of the original twenty sixteen what we felt with
President Trump was it was a sort of calling. It
wasn't just a political movement. It was a calling. And
(55:27):
to see today as you point out, but you know,
Hegsitt is extraordinary and by the way Hegsett, a million
things are happening that people can't see. I needed somebody
on my team. You guys know on mckaib he's in
the army. Actually, Hesitt dreamlighted a detail for that guy
that it should have taken six months. It took like
six days.
Speaker 12 (55:43):
You know.
Speaker 8 (55:44):
Tulsi, I go over to Tulci's place because there's a
group of people that are in there and they are
after the deep State every day on the weaponization side,
and Tulsi is letting that rip. Like the confidence of
the people that you saw on that stage and then coming.
You know, JD. Vance has become so articulate on the
moment we're in as you point out, it is, Steve,
(56:07):
it is extraordinary. And I will pull back with you
and say that we've had big rallies, been one hundred
thousand people at rallies before. Maybe I don't know, maybe
they haven't been. There's never been a rally where the
through the thread, through the through line was every single time,
was not just a relationship with a higher being. Right,
we said the Creator or whatever Christ right, Christ's mission
(56:29):
on Earth?
Speaker 12 (56:30):
Right?
Speaker 8 (56:30):
I mean Marco Rubio sounded like an old Tome proselytizer.
He could have, you know, preached to the to the
in a tent when he's talking about the kingdom will
come and then we will be I mean, you know,
this is like something we've never seen, as you say,
not for one hundreds of years. And again the question
is how do you take the confidence and go pouring
back out into our nation and transform things. It's it's
(56:55):
a turning point, it really is.
Speaker 4 (56:57):
I think that's why Charlie's The sat Nation was the
beginning of an inflection point. And this is also part
of it. Right, the Great pivot back to the foundation.
This is really what's going to make America great again,
right to go back, yeah to our original original, you know,
foundational beliefs, which.
Speaker 7 (57:14):
Was what Phyllish Lefley always said. Ed you and I
were so blessed to be mentored by her and also
by Andrew Breitbart and so many others who have gone before.
Charlie and I just I'm so curious ed because you
were so close with Phyllis. You were day by day
with Phyllis, every single day, loyal.
Speaker 3 (57:32):
To her until the end.
Speaker 7 (57:33):
You were the one who brought Phyllis to the table
for President Trump, and everybody needs to know that that
was you that did that. You were the caveat the
conduit there. What would she say about this day.
Speaker 8 (57:47):
Well, first of all, don't let Bannon off the hook.
You know, Bannon was also in their early She loved Breitbart.
By the way you write about that, Andrew and Bannon
did a movie. That's how he first met her, ahead
of everybody else. He was talking about these women conservative women,
and before everybody ever you know put this together. I mean,
you were there, Gina too, but but Bannon was on that.
So don't let him let don't let him slip away.
He saw it ahead of time. Look, I say this
(58:09):
the thing about Phyllis, she used to say, She told
the great story. Clarence Thomas said to her, how do
you do it, Phillips? They beat the heck out of you.
And this was after Thomas had been confirmed and gone
through Hell. And she said, there's a prayer. I say,
from the malignant enemy, defend me. And she laughed as
she said it. I say it every time I go out,
just like Charlie used to say. You know, let me
(58:30):
do what your will to. You know, lead me the
way you're supposed to. Lord. She would say, from the
malignant enemy, defend me. And she and she laughed when
she told Clarence Thomas, it's on audio and and and
the reason why my point telling me that is she
was she was real about it. There's real evil. There's
not this evil in the world. There's evil, right, there's
good and his evil. There's Satan and this God. And
Phyllis was clear. But she also said things with a smile.
(58:53):
She had joy because if you know the truth, you
can't stay depressed too long. You can have a bad
day and you can me down and up and down
and things can't get you done, but you have this joy.
Charlie had joy. Charlie had that joy impish grin. When
he was younger, he was like he almost looked a
little two impush. When he got older he looked really
you know, I still look at the videos on the
(59:13):
stage in those places of ten and he's chewing like
he always had gum or a mint or something, and
it just made him look like he was like they're
hanging out in the dorm with the guys and the
gals and all. And the thing that Phyllis would have
seen today was amidst suffering, amidst all this this is
going on, there was a fundamental There is a fundamental joy.
Trump has it. She used to say about him that
(59:36):
he gets it in his heart, not just in his head,
not just in the politics. And she loved to laugh
when he would call her like on her birthday, and
she laughed at the joy.
Speaker 4 (59:49):
It was so controversial because she was a traditional Catholic
and an icon of the conservative movement, and this time
Trump at Trump. When Trumpets first started out, he was
not for her to embrace him because she saw down
range and that through Trump you can get to a
day like this, right, that's the kind of thing she could.
Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
See through Trump because it's so controversial. Ed, I know
you've got a bounce.
Speaker 4 (01:00:10):
I want to appreciate you staying in your office and
joining us here right afterwards.
Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
Really, Ed Martin, you are a hero.
Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
Thanks for so many people out here, sir, you are
truly guy's put it on the line.
Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
We appreciate it. God bless you. Let's go. We got
we got David Zerr. Do we still have Steve Gruber
on the on the riser? Do we have Groubert's We're
gonna go to zero a second. I know they're gonna
run group out of here.
Speaker 4 (01:00:35):
Steve Gruber, if you're still there, can we get your, uh,
your assessment from the media riser?
Speaker 10 (01:00:43):
What a remarkable day, Steve. A day of emotion.
Speaker 15 (01:00:48):
And I mean I saw we we're packed in here,
packed all the way around us, and you see people
crying and people hugging, then people laughing and people cheering.
I mean the range of emotion at a revival, I
suppose is what we witnessed here today. It was very evangelical,
as you guys have been talking about touching to me,
I mean it got me a couple of times mostly,
(01:01:09):
and when Erica Kirk said, I forgive him.
Speaker 10 (01:01:15):
Wow, what a moment.
Speaker 15 (01:01:16):
Talk about powerful, talk about uniting people, talk about galvanizing
a group of people. Not just here the millions watching.
I saw the numbers multiplying, multiplying the millions watching here.
I just saw they're watching in France, in England, in Australia.
This was a global event. This wasn't something that happened
(01:01:36):
in Arizona. It was something that was centered in Arizona,
but a global event. This is a shock wave across it.
You're right about the left. They're gonna panic tomorrow because
they saw a galvanized moment. I saw David axelrob and
others online today concerned about, oh my gosh, the Christians
are all united.
Speaker 10 (01:01:52):
Of course they are because of this moment.
Speaker 4 (01:01:55):
Yes, Now what people also want to know group, because
we put you down in enemy territory.
Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
You're in the middle of media on the riser.
Speaker 16 (01:02:04):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
We were talking about just having an altar call for
the media. You were there in the middle.
Speaker 4 (01:02:09):
And by the way, folks, I've never seen a media
turnout like this in my life. Yeah, it was just
like better than the campaigns. What was the response, the
personal response as you were down there and you had
one speaker after another go old testament on you, right,
What was the response to the media by the media.
Speaker 15 (01:02:29):
Well, my wife, Ivey's here with me and I mentioned
her a couple of times. There's a couple of folks
down the line here. Uh does the word sour puss.
Speaker 10 (01:02:36):
Come to mind?
Speaker 17 (01:02:37):
Is that?
Speaker 15 (01:02:37):
Is that a word I can use on the air,
because they just have this wrinkled up face, Like.
Speaker 10 (01:02:43):
My father used to say.
Speaker 15 (01:02:44):
My father used to say, there are some people who
go through life with a pinch nerve and there's nothing
you can do about it.
Speaker 10 (01:02:50):
You know. That's what I saw.
Speaker 15 (01:02:51):
Down the line here, that they had several people's faces,
they just have this wrinkled up face. I don't know,
sour puss comes to mind? Just nasty, not happy. There's
been a alter call here today. I think a couple
of people here would have gone, but a lot of
these folks, Look, it is going to be territory. You're
exactly right, and tomorrow The Steve Times, The Washington Post, MSNBC,

I know you've got to get on the road.
Speaker 4 (01:03:41):
Tell us what you were down Ashley down today on
the floor.
Speaker 3 (01:03:46):
What was it like?
Speaker 12 (01:03:46):
Uh, it was very intense, like Steve Gruber said, a
lot of crying, a lot of laughter. And we did
see some press down there that we were hoping would
be converted, maybe open a Bible, maybe go back to
churchs themselves. I can say a prayer for him. However,
you know a lot of people we saw after Charlie
(01:04:07):
was murdered go back to church, hadn't been in years,
hadn't opened a bible. This place was packed packed for
Charlie and Charlie. He kept saying, I want to make
Keavin crowded, and he's going to and another way besides
going to church and picking up your bible that you
can honor Charlie is picking up the mic and continuing
the fight and the mission he gave his life for
(01:04:27):
him by the.
Speaker 4 (01:04:28):
Way you spent you and Grace Chung spent his last
weekend of his life with him in South Korea.
Speaker 3 (01:04:35):
Half of it was political about helping these.
Speaker 4 (01:04:37):
Young people with a government that now is the lined
with the Chinese Commas Party. The other half was totally
spiritual revival call, but him as busy as he was
to take that time telling people I had to do this,
he had to go. It just it speaks everything you
want to see about the guy. And then just have
the young Korean's march in the street. I am Charlie Cork.
It shows you his impact.
Speaker 12 (01:04:56):
That and also how crowded it was here, the fact
that you had ann over, which just shows the attacting
all the vigils across the world. It just shows the
impact he had not just those who knew him and
who called him a friend, but those who were inspired
by him.

Yeah, incredible day here, give me give it, Give.
Speaker 3 (01:06:10):
Us some interviews, Give us some interviews.
Speaker 14 (01:06:13):
People were the most important part of this. Come on
in the show.
Speaker 18 (01:06:16):
We have Kathy and Marvin from Oregon Today. You know
reports were this morning over one hundred thousand were coming
here to the event. They had to close off the
ramp to the freeway at about five or six this morning.
Here and the overflow. Guys, have you ever seen now
you were in the desert. Diamond Desert Arena holds about
twenty thousand.
Speaker 14 (01:06:37):
It was almost full, right, it was almost full?
Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
Yeah, zer ful.
Speaker 18 (01:06:41):
Have you do you remember an event in your life
where an arena and a stadium were filled up that's at.
Speaker 14 (01:06:46):
The same time.
Speaker 19 (01:06:46):
That's pretty amazing. He had an incredible impact. Yeah, he
impacted more than the US. It's a worldwide impact. What
an incredible young man, Chartie was.
Speaker 18 (01:06:54):
Yeah, it was such an incredible day here and Steve,
they were turning away people from the Diamond Desert Arena.
This stadium behind us where you are was at full
capacity at nine to forty am. The volunteers were telling
us and security. By eleven am this morning where they
were in. The arena next door was filled up, turning
people to weay at eleven am and our great cameraman
(01:07:17):
Mason and I we estimated five to ten thousand people
had to leave the parking lot.
Speaker 14 (01:07:21):
What was your biggest takeaway.
Speaker 18 (01:07:23):
Today and how how did the arena react when Trump
gave them props in the neighboring arena.
Speaker 20 (01:07:29):
That was crazy because we were in the secondary the overflow,
but everybody burst into applause. Yeah, just as important. But
he acknowledged us and we went all crazy.
Speaker 19 (01:07:41):
Yeah, the crowd went crazy when David Hey the secondary
venue there.
Speaker 14 (01:07:46):
Yeah, Steve.
Speaker 4 (01:07:48):
Ask him why they would come from Oregon. Why did
they come from Oregon to Phoenix, Arizona for a memorial service?
Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
Why?
Speaker 18 (01:07:58):
Yeah, Steve, a lot of people from Oregon today. Why
did you make the trek here from Oregon?
Speaker 3 (01:08:03):
Oh?
Speaker 20 (01:08:03):
We love Charlie. I set my clock by Charlie Kirk
every day.
Speaker 13 (01:08:08):
Nine o'clock's real America's voice.
Speaker 3 (01:08:10):
We're watching right.
Speaker 18 (01:08:11):
Are you hopeful the politics and Oregon may change a
little going forward?
Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
Absolutely?
Speaker 14 (01:08:15):
Are you near Portland?
Speaker 19 (01:08:17):
No, we're a little ways away, Thank God for that
more conservative country.
Speaker 18 (01:08:21):
Yes, absolutely, yeah, yeah, because Trump's making a pledge. You know,
after he's done with Memphis and Chicago, maybe they're going
to Portland.
Speaker 3 (01:08:26):
Let's go.
Speaker 14 (01:08:27):
You want them to do that.
Speaker 18 (01:08:29):
It doesn't make you feel when you see what happened
there in the last five years, oh, seven years, disgusting.
Speaker 1 (01:08:36):
Yeah, you'll let.
Speaker 14 (01:08:37):
You let stuff like that go.
Speaker 3 (01:08:39):
It just runs rampant, that's what they're doing.
Speaker 18 (01:08:40):
Yeah, unbelievable, Steve, I have more people standing by if
you want here. But the people on the ground today,
today's event so special, I.
Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
Do you guys.
Speaker 4 (01:08:50):
Tell them by the way, I'm gonna get some more
people in with you. We're gonna go to Berkwam. But
hang on. Tell them they're actually from Greater Idaho, not Oregon.
Speaker 14 (01:08:59):
Yeah, you're from great to Idaho.
Speaker 12 (01:09:01):
Steve Bannon said, well, Steve, you got that right.
Speaker 14 (01:09:05):
I think they agree with that one.
Speaker 20 (01:09:08):
It was a revival in there. Absolutely the Secretary of State,
the Vice president speaking about the gospel, which was crazy
cool and Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1 (01:09:21):
That's right America.
Speaker 18 (01:09:22):
Yeah, Constitution, you heard it best from the people on
the ground here, Steve.
Speaker 3 (01:09:28):
David, thank them.
Speaker 14 (01:09:29):
You stay right there.
Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
We're and come back to more guests.
Speaker 4 (01:09:31):
Ben Berkwham, you're on the floor as the arena at
this football stadium empties out your thoughts today, sir.
Speaker 11 (01:09:40):
Yeah, it was just an incredible day, Steve. One of
the moments that really got me was walking. I was
walking up the stairs you see behind me, and they
started playing Charlie's Daughter singing Jesus Loves Me and man,
you talk about breaking somebody, My daughters sing that same song.
You know, we teach them that one of the first
things we teach them, it's the song I sing to
(01:10:01):
my daughters to put them to bed.
Speaker 1 (01:10:04):
And it just was so heartbreaking to hear that.
Speaker 11 (01:10:08):
You compare that, though, to the beauty of this event
what was said on stage and then Erica you could
feel it coming when she was quoting the verses from
the Bible saying, you could feel it, you know, Christ
said forgive them, they know not what they do. And
for her to say that I forgive you man, that
(01:10:29):
was powerful. That was the most powerful, not just the
most powerful moment of the night, it was the most
powerful moment in the last hundred years for Christianity in America.
This event today was just it was divinely inspired. It was,
you know, with the end, we've said it all week,
what the enemy meant for evil, God is turning to
(01:10:50):
good and he just unleashed the devil, just unleashed a
million Charlie Kirks across America and around the world. We've
got some folks here, some of you guys know and
love him. I want to get aj over here, Lindy
Ann gem over here.
Speaker 1 (01:11:05):
We've got of course, bricksuit.
Speaker 11 (01:11:06):
Do you want to come over Just guys, what was
your takeaway from today? It's what an incredible day, you.
Speaker 14 (01:11:13):
Know, it's amazing.
Speaker 21 (01:11:15):
I don't think in the history of the United States
that I can know of, we've never had this many
cabinet members outside of DC in one place.
Speaker 14 (01:11:22):
That's just logistics, though.
Speaker 21 (01:11:25):
The actual spirit that was in this building today was
incredible and for me personally, I feel like it's it's
helped me turn a corner from a place of just
really grief and sorrow and and on to the next
stage of knowing what I need to do next, which
is continue on to forge that into resolve and Erica
(01:11:47):
just just amazing, just amazing.
Speaker 14 (01:11:50):
Don Junior quoting scripture. Who would have ever gets that?
Speaker 13 (01:11:53):
Absolutely insane, you know, somber day.
Speaker 16 (01:11:57):
I think the takeaway for me is for Christians, this
is not the end, right, this is just the beginning.
The Church has dealt with this forever. The blood of
the martyrs is the seed of the church. Charlie Kirk
went into the places that the church has abandoned for
so long, and because we were told, we were told
(01:12:19):
forever that you know, the institutions, these areas of politics,
don't touch those because the churches will be empty.
Speaker 13 (01:12:30):
Charlie went into those areas.
Speaker 16 (01:12:32):
He proclaimed the lordship of Jesus over every single area
of life, and revival takes place. We are sitting in
a place right now filled with Did you see how
many people gave their lives to Christ because one man
defied the logic of every today's theological betters.
Speaker 13 (01:12:52):
He went into the darkest place of our society.
Speaker 16 (01:12:56):
He proclaimed truth, victory and the powerful Gospel of Jesus,
and revival is happening.
Speaker 3 (01:13:05):
Good man.
Speaker 22 (01:13:06):
Indeed, Wow, I think today was something so phenomenal and
significant in the spirit realm. There truly was a turning
point for America. When I came here as a South
African twenty twenty, I had a dream about this event,
and I actually dreamed that, you know, there would be
a revival breaking out with the exact singers that were
(01:13:28):
here today. And so I just found myself weeping watching
people experience God, the presence and the.
Speaker 23 (01:13:34):
Power of God.
Speaker 22 (01:13:35):
And I really think I love these banners that they
made here. I am sent me and I think.
Speaker 23 (01:13:39):
People really there was such a fire and a stir
created underneath people's butts to go out there and actually
spread the message, spread the gospel like never before, and
so I think it was a very very proud moment
and so many great people in one place.
Speaker 24 (01:13:56):
What the biggest weapon, The biggest weapon is, the most
powerful weapon is the truth, and we as Christians must
defend it. We must defend the principles and the constitution
of this the United States, so that we as a
(01:14:19):
people that we believe that our voice is the voice
of freedom and our vote is our voice the vote.
And so I just want to thank God for everything
here because it just drawed us another step higher, because
it was just wonderful, touching to all of us, young
(01:14:39):
and old. I saw young and old here, so it
was no perspective.
Speaker 1 (01:14:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (01:14:42):
Hey, Ben Dan, just hang on for one secon. I'm
gonna come right back. You stay right there. I'm gonna
come right back. You're gonna go to David err outside.
Speaker 3 (01:14:49):
Bet Berkeleman. I might add, it's never an official Mega.
Speaker 4 (01:14:54):
Rally or a MAGA get together, or today a revival
unless Bricksuitman is there.
Speaker 3 (01:15:01):
Brian Kennedy, your thoughts of what you saw today.
Speaker 17 (01:15:04):
I thought it was a great day, Steve. I thought
Charlie Kirk's a great man. He was a martyr. There
will be unleash you believe he's a Christian martyr, absolutely,
and Cardinal Dolan compared him to Saint Paul today, which
was a pretty dramatic thing. The interesting thing up though,
is it will certainly unleash a million Charlie Kirks. But
(01:15:27):
we're living in a very demonic time and there'll be
a million demons out there too, doing all things that
they're very dangerous right now. I think in some ways
they are emboldened by this. They see they can kill
one of our main voices, and they did in line.
Speaker 3 (01:15:46):
I didn't make the media cut exactly.
Speaker 17 (01:15:49):
So I was in line with people for three hours,
talking to all the folks and they were Christians, and
they were happy, and they had families and they were
lovely people. And I started talking to them and they
were happy and prayerful, and none of them that I
spoke to believed that the shooter that they got and
(01:16:11):
they arrested actually did it.
Speaker 3 (01:16:14):
And they are the warm posse. It's zero percent, and
they were angry. They don't need that.
Speaker 4 (01:16:20):
They don't not saying this guy's not a bad guy,
in an evil guy, but they think something. And this
is why Cash Patel did announce today that the FBI's
officially expanded the investigation. My big fear was you would
get a lone wolf, lone gunman.
Speaker 3 (01:16:33):
And Utah police and everybody want to shut it down.
Speaker 4 (01:16:36):
I think Cash said today that they've expanded it out
because we have to.
Speaker 17 (01:16:39):
For every Ed Martin, that there's the great Ed Martin,
that you great, great guy. I wish there were a
thousand Ed Martin's in the Justice Department. And until that happens,
we're going to be behind the eight ball here.
Speaker 4 (01:16:52):
When you say it, embolden them before I go back
out to zero outside.
Speaker 3 (01:16:55):
When you say embolden them, what do you mean?
Speaker 17 (01:16:58):
Look at AOC, look at the some of these other
Democratic leaders. They are free to criticize the killing of
Charlie Kirk as if he deserved it. That is an
outrage in American politics.
Speaker 7 (01:17:10):
So very how do we battle back at that? I
think it's so important. I want to say, just really quickly,
Steve if I may. I got a text from my
friend's daughter in the middle of all this, and she
received it and said, did I ever tell you that
I never read a Bible all those years of Sunday
school and church and the whole thing. And I only
picked it up when I had to, she said, yesterday
I ordered a Bible. I just want to challenge everyone
(01:17:33):
and myself included myself actually at the top of this list.
This is our defense, putting on the full armor of God.
There's only one way to do that. That is to get
your face in the Bible, and that is to get
your body and a fellowship of the Lord.
Speaker 4 (01:17:45):
Because they're not they're they're they're coming hard now, Charlie,
because there's no grounds for no there's no there's no
you know this whole thing about free speech to it,
I said, they embrace political violence.
Speaker 3 (01:17:56):
There's nothing to talk about. There's no unit that.
Speaker 17 (01:17:59):
Charlie saw in sort of the last this last year
that the real danger was communists, Islamists and Antifa.
Speaker 3 (01:18:06):
Yes, and right now they're on the march, all godless,
all godless.
Speaker 17 (01:18:11):
And for every those million new Charlie Kirks, we're gonna
have to deal with all of them now. I believe
we're completely up for the fight. But please let us
everyone know it will be a fight.
Speaker 3 (01:18:22):
Hang aroun.
Speaker 4 (01:18:22):
We're gonna go out to David's there by the way,
I want to thank our sponsor. We were commercial free
all day. I want to thank Real America's Voice, our
great sponsors, Birch Gold, right, AMAC and Patriot Mobile.
Speaker 3 (01:18:35):
I mean those three companies are are as good as
you get. Go check out we've got.
Speaker 4 (01:18:40):
We'll put Moe and Grace will push out and on
Real America's Voice and go and get access to Birch Gold.
We'll have a bunch of we'll talk about Gold tomorrow morning.
AMAC fantastic and alternative to other of these organizations. This
one's truly conservative. And Patriot Mobile the best phone service
out there and supports our our all our causes.
Speaker 7 (01:19:01):
Let's go big weekend next weekend with AMAC.
Speaker 3 (01:19:03):
By the way, a MAC you want to talk about that?
Where's it going to be?
Speaker 9 (01:19:06):
Yeah, tell us Yeah, in Virginia at Patrick Henry College.
It's a boot camp AMAC boot camp. Gene and I
will be there. We'll host of arkansent Rise on Friday
morning and the Saturday is the big boot camp Wow.
And what will the boot camp entail?
Speaker 3 (01:19:16):
It's training patriots.
Speaker 7 (01:19:18):
It's more than just being a member of a group, right,
It's about training.
Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
People, yes, what they can actually do?
Speaker 4 (01:19:24):
Yes, action action, action, action, mobilization, and Patrick Henry College
is old school.
Speaker 3 (01:19:29):
Oh yeah, spare the rod, spoil the child. Let's go
to David Zr.
Speaker 4 (01:19:35):
He sitting in the parking lot with three hundred thousand
people thereabouts.
Speaker 3 (01:19:39):
They're leaving, David Zerr. What do you got for us?
Speaker 18 (01:19:43):
We have Stephanie and Paul here from the ever growing Gilbert, Arizona.
People still relocating out here. You're a big reviewer and
war room posse.
Speaker 25 (01:19:51):
Right, yes, also every morning watching Steve Bannon war Room. Yeah,
Real America's Voice with Terrence.
Speaker 14 (01:19:58):
And you're telling me you follow it us the whole campaign.
Speaker 10 (01:20:01):
Oh yeah, all right, that's great.
Speaker 18 (01:20:03):
Okay, So you're a teacher, right by the way, you
were in the overflow arena. That was pretty packed, right, yeah,
it was still pretty packed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was
pretty incredible. Uh, turnouts here, watch parties everywhere across the country,
local hotels.
Speaker 14 (01:20:18):
So you're a teacher.
Speaker 18 (01:20:19):
What was the reaction in your school district when Charlie
was shot?
Speaker 25 (01:20:25):
I think it caused everyone to take a little pause.
Sometimes being in school, kids can't we can't talk.
Speaker 3 (01:20:34):
So freely like we want to.
Speaker 25 (01:20:36):
But you would hear whispers and then start those conversations.
Speaker 18 (01:20:40):
Okay, relatively conservative district compared to most.
Speaker 14 (01:20:43):
Yes, yes, well that's good, Paul. I wanted to ask you.
Speaker 18 (01:20:46):
You know Benny Johnson made comment, you know, you could
kill a dictator that they go away, but if you
monitor somebody, the fight just gets more powerful.
Speaker 26 (01:20:53):
Right, Yeah, that's correct. Yes, oh yes it did. And
I always tell people it's like Charlie Kirk was the
bag that held the rice, and now somebody opened the
bag and now we're all over the place.
Speaker 14 (01:21:05):
E Pasobic said, this is the turning point, right, yes,
all of us.
Speaker 18 (01:21:09):
What was your big takeaway and what are you going
to remember most about Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 25 (01:21:15):
My biggest takeaway was when Erica Kirk forgave her the
assassin who killed Charlie.
Speaker 18 (01:21:22):
You have TPUSA in your high school chapters.
Speaker 14 (01:21:26):
I believe at the high school. Yeah we do.
Speaker 18 (01:21:29):
Yeah, Well, sixty two thousand applicants in a week and
a half asking for new chapters.
Speaker 14 (01:21:34):
Paul, what was your big takeaway from today?
Speaker 26 (01:21:38):
Just so many people that are coming to christ and
it's just amazing.
Speaker 10 (01:21:43):
I felt like a revival.
Speaker 14 (01:21:45):
Missil empowered that the mission gets stronger from you.
Speaker 26 (01:21:48):
Yes, it does, and I mean he's empowered me and
for me to do some more.
Speaker 18 (01:21:53):
All right, guys, everybody, Stephanie and Paul more great real
American voices on the ground back to you.
Speaker 4 (01:22:01):
Make sure you thank him. David appreciate you guys watching absolutely.
Is that like the tenth time we've heard revival from someone?
Speaker 7 (01:22:09):
Yes, And the wheat and the chaff parable as well
from Matthew thirteen twenty four through thirty. Everybody should go
back and read that, because what happens is when the wheat,
the enemy comes and puts the chaff the weed around
the wheat to try to kill the weed off. But
the weed then dies, It goes into the ground and
it comes back and it takes over bigger than ever.
And that's the parable that God told us about.
Speaker 3 (01:22:30):
This very moment. You know, we shouldn't get lost.
Speaker 9 (01:22:32):
When Erica Kirk talked about I forgive him, that's the
big line.
Speaker 3 (01:22:37):
But let's unpack that a little bit.
Speaker 9 (01:22:39):
When she did that, there are a lot of folks
that do not believe in Jesus Christ, and when they
heard that, they're like, well, wait a minute, hold on right,
I forgive him?
Speaker 3 (01:22:47):
That is it makes no sense to them whatsoever.
Speaker 9 (01:22:50):
Well, honestly, as Christians, we have a hard time with it, right,
But for those that don't know Christ, they're thinking about that.
So that is a marinated moment, if you will, where
people can to go, well, you know what, maybe I
want to explore that God that allows her to get
up on stage in front of millions and.
Speaker 7 (01:23:06):
Do that so much about the Friday Night where she
said God is so good? Yes, who can say? Where
do you get that kind of strength?
Speaker 3 (01:23:16):
While she answers.
Speaker 4 (01:23:17):
Even with the individual, she's not talking about the radical
ideology and the demonic ideology that brought.
Speaker 3 (01:23:23):
If it turns out to be that guy.
Speaker 4 (01:23:24):
But I'm telling you what a broad with a broader investigation,
I think a lot of things are going to turn
up that are demonic.
Speaker 9 (01:23:31):
Steve, if I could saying, what's really interesting here is
that normally President Trump gets top billing in any event
he's that he was not top billing today. It was
Jesus number one, Charlie, then Erica, then President Trump. And
that's just kind of fascinating enough.
Speaker 4 (01:23:42):
That's very tough though, because by custom and tradition, the
president always wraps up. It's quite tough to follow the
widow of a slain martyr and a hero, particularly when
she's so incredibly articled. I thought President Trump's remarks were
fantastic and Don Junior and the President half of the
President's remarks were about religion, God, Christianity. You don't see
(01:24:05):
that all the time from President Trump and Don Junior,
I thought was magnificent. Start off with his relationship with Charlie,
about the Charlie's relationship with Christ, and then end with
ahead of Major arctorch we've got Ben Berkwam has the
great Nick Soretur has been so fantastic for us in
this entire endeavor.
Speaker 3 (01:24:23):
Ben what he got, sir?
Speaker 11 (01:24:28):
Yeah, Nick, same thing, by the way, that forgiveness the
hugest takeaway. The other thing Just real quick before I
go to Nick, that Erica said about the new Christians
knowing that you're going to be under attack, and this
is always the case. Whenever you become effective, the devil
tries to take you out. And so my just encouragement
to all the new Christians out there is get yourself
(01:24:49):
close to other Christians. Understand you've got to stay in
touch with the Word, read your Bible every day, and
understand that the enemy is going to come after you.
Now that you're on the side of righteousness. So it's
not an easy fight, but it's the most important thing
you do in your life.
Speaker 3 (01:25:03):
Nick, what was your takeaway from today?
Speaker 14 (01:25:06):
Brother?
Speaker 13 (01:25:08):
It's really incredible to look that this was all put together.
Speaker 10 (01:25:10):
In ten days.
Speaker 27 (01:25:11):
I mean, the speakers out here, I mean I was
up in the front there, and I mean you see
what you saw, Like pretty much every cabinet secretary was here.
You had Dan Bongino, you had Cash Patel. I mean,
the entire administration seemed to be here. They took three
of the presidential planes here today, just full of White
House officials and admin officials. And we're in the State
(01:25:34):
Farms Stadium in Arizona.
Speaker 13 (01:25:38):
Seventy thousand people in here.
Speaker 27 (01:25:40):
There wasn't a single empty seat, and you had the
overflow next door. I mean, it's mesmerizing to me that
all of these people came together from all over the world.
I was out there last night at one two o'clock
in the morning talking to these people.
Speaker 13 (01:25:54):
And most of them are from the other side of
the country.
Speaker 27 (01:25:57):
Flew all the way in, paid thousands of dollars, you know,
staying at hotels, renting cars and such, all just to
come celebrate Charlie Kirk and Bennie Johnson at one point
up on stage asking for people to stand up if
if Charlie had an impact on their spiritual life over
the past couple of.
Speaker 10 (01:26:13):
Weeks, and I mean pretty much the entire stadium stood up.
It was crazy.
Speaker 13 (01:26:17):
I mean, they keep saying, oh, this is a revival,
this is a revival. They're not exaggerating.
Speaker 10 (01:26:21):
That's exactly what this is.
Speaker 27 (01:26:22):
I mean, so many people have been brought closer to
Christ over these past ten days than I think ever
in history.
Speaker 11 (01:26:28):
Yeah, incredible, Hey, Jack, can I get you for a second.
We're yeap, all right, So last last question we got
the one to know only Jack Pasovic.
Speaker 10 (01:26:37):
But final thoughts, guys.
Speaker 21 (01:26:40):
You know, I've never been so sad to see so
many people that I know. But there's no place I
would have rather been than here today. It's a tough one,
but we're gonna move on and we're gonna win.
Speaker 1 (01:26:55):
A man.
Speaker 22 (01:26:57):
I think that was so fantastic was to see such
It was like everyone's Jesus came out right, Like people
that didn't even know were Christians were preaching the gospel boldly.
Politicians like I felt like everyone just became so on
fire for God. It was amazing, and I think that
was really what Charlie wanted. He said, If the one
thing I want to be remembered for is my courage
(01:27:18):
of my faith and for people to get to know Jesus.
I want to encourage you. If you don't know Jesus,
give your life to Him today. There's never a better
day in a moment than right now.
Speaker 3 (01:27:28):
Thank you so much. Ben.
Speaker 4 (01:27:29):
Closing thoughts, Ben, we gotta, we gotta, we got a
heart out here to clear out the our studio, the
real my resourcement so great to put.
Speaker 11 (01:27:37):
Up just the most amazing day I've ever been a
part of. God turned tragedy into hope and direction, and
now I just can't wait to see what comes out
of it.
Speaker 3 (01:27:50):
Fantastic.
Speaker 4 (01:27:50):
By the way, tell Nick Sortra, I would have never
picked him out.
Speaker 3 (01:27:53):
I've never seen Nick anything.
Speaker 4 (01:27:55):
But a T shirt in a ball cap and in
the middle of danger somewhere.
Speaker 3 (01:27:58):
So tell NURKEI cleans up very well. I think it's
I think it says a lot about.
Speaker 4 (01:28:01):
Charlie and a lot about today. Can we get Brian
Zier for some wrap up? Wrap up comment from Brian
as he said, out there or David Zier No, no,
David Zerr.
Speaker 3 (01:28:10):
Okay, closing thoughts. I'll start with the brother Kennedy.
Speaker 4 (01:28:14):
We got a couple of minutes here your closing thoughts,
and then David Brody and doctor Gina.
Speaker 17 (01:28:20):
America should be very proud today of one of their
great sons, Charlie Kirk. And the kind of outpouring of
love and affection and displays of their faith of Jesus
Christ was a very impressive thing. And and President Trump
was fabulous, everybody was fabulous, but it was the people
who were here really personified what is great about this country.
Speaker 1 (01:28:43):
Yes, I think it's two words, now what And it's
a question.
Speaker 9 (01:28:49):
I think until we answer that question, then this was
I mean, personally was one I would say the most
amazing day I've ever been a part of in a
news environment, for sure.
Speaker 3 (01:28:59):
But what happens next?
Speaker 9 (01:29:01):
So that's one thing I'd say, And then I'll just
simply say this about the churches, let's go, you know,
time to step up. You talked about muscular Christianity earlier,
right about how the media.
Speaker 1 (01:29:10):
Is going to say this was muscular Christianity.
Speaker 9 (01:29:11):
Well, you know what we need actually more muscular Christianity
inside the church we got we got a bunch of.
Speaker 3 (01:29:18):
There's no as positive as this was.
Speaker 4 (01:29:20):
There's no power on earth that can stand up to
what you saw today.
Speaker 3 (01:29:24):
That's right, It just not.
Speaker 4 (01:29:25):
I mean it was so at times it was solemn,
at other times it was joyous. Right, it was always
about Charlie Kirk in this intimate relationship he had with
the Lord and saving Jesus Christ. That was the foundation
of everything that a lot of people didn't know. And
you saw all the work and then you saw many
people you see every night in a and I guess
(01:29:46):
a secular environment of the politics and running the government
of the most powerful nation on earth in a totally
different light, including Don Junior, Benny Johnson, and President Trump.
Speaker 3 (01:29:56):
And in that through line, the entire way is like.
Speaker 4 (01:29:59):
A s It did take over early on the Holy
Spirit and play throughout the whole day. My point to
the folks is that just go with the flow there,
but you got to take action, action, action.
Speaker 7 (01:30:10):
Actually, God did what he does best, and that is
he takes chaos and he turns it into order. And
I think today that's what we saw. Many of us
just felt completely thrown. What's going to happen to our country.
Speaker 8 (01:30:21):
Now.
Speaker 3 (01:30:21):
I heard whispers of civil war. I know you guys did.
Right after this, I heard horrible thoughts, whispers. I was shouting, yeah,
And I still believe it.
Speaker 10 (01:30:29):
I didn't say it had.
Speaker 3 (01:30:30):
To be viol I didn't say it had to be violent.
But there's no there's there's what you saw today.
Speaker 4 (01:30:37):
Cannot reconcile it with what caused us to be here.
Speaker 3 (01:30:41):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (01:30:41):
It's so demonic, so hateful, so against everything, and the
more you find out about it, the sicker and more
perverted and more systemic.
Speaker 3 (01:30:48):
It is right about about this and so right.
Speaker 7 (01:30:52):
But God doesn't use some things. He uses all things
to the good of those who love him and live
according to his precepts. And that's what he showed us today.
He said, I'm going to take order. I'm going to
take chaos. I'm going to turn it to order. And
now the order is on us. So now we know
what to do. We have our marching orders. You've got
to get your face in the Bible. You've got to
get back up. But also I thought what was so
(01:31:12):
important to believe It was Erica that said, it's on
those of us who are mature in our.
Speaker 3 (01:31:16):
Walk with Jesus. It's on us to.
Speaker 7 (01:31:19):
Mentor those who are new at it, because yes, they
are going to have challenges and trials. The evil is
going to spawn like crazy. We have to be bigger,
we have to be better, we have to have on
the full armor of God.
Speaker 4 (01:31:29):
I want to thank you guys, particularly I guess you're
flying back to do American son or Eyes.
Speaker 13 (01:31:34):
I'll be there.
Speaker 3 (01:31:34):

entire day's broadcast. So if you miss, particularly the early part,
I will tell you take a couple hours.

or you can put that in the box. Watch what
you're about to see, because, as David Birdie said, I
think one of the most impressive, not just impressive. There's
something about this day that was very different than anything else, Right,

We've ever recovered.

Attorney point me to you?

We're celebrating the life of Charlie Kirk, a man that
created a movement that has never been made before. I mean,
Charlie Kirk rolled up an entire generation of people.
Speaker 14 (01:33:34):
I'm here today to tell you the why in what
he did.
Speaker 28 (01:33:37):
The why is the one that Charlie wanted to welcome
as the guest of honor.
Speaker 3 (01:33:41):
He's the king of glory.
Speaker 27 (01:33:42):
God has created a revival right here in this house.

is a hero to the United States of America.
Speaker 13 (01:34:04):

the Cross.

what they do.
