In this heartfelt solo episode, I open up about navigating fear, faith, and free speech in a turbulent moment. From an independent, nonpartisan lens, I reflect on why I felt called to speak, honoring the courage of using one’s voice in public—especially across differences—and paying tribute to Charlie Kirk’s campus dialogues and commitment to debate, even when I didn’t agree with him. I explore why the First Amendment matters, the responsibility that comes with speech, and the importance of listening to young people, context, and full arguments rather than headlines.
I also share candidly about self-censorship, the pressure to conform, and my personal commitment to speak more boldly with compassion. I encourage you to anchor in your faith or higher power, do deeper research before forming judgments, and add your voice to conversations that move us toward truth, common sense, and unity. More love, more peace, and more courageous dialogue—there’s no “us vs. them,” only us.

Unknown (00:35):
Good morning, Love Tribe. It's been a minute.
I hope you are doing well on this Sunday morning.
This is
I'm a little nervous doing this video because
of all of the the violence and toxicity that's been going on in the world
lately and
(00:56):
especially with this assassination of Charlie Kirk.
And
it's important to me
to do this because, number one, god told me to. Okay? I have
my own version of god that I believe in,
and
I,
and I wanna first
name that
(01:17):
I speak as an independent.
I speak as somebody who is,
not political. I am not associated with the left or the right
or progressives or liberals or MAGA or Republicans
or
whatever.
None of it is
my affiliation. My affiliation is also not,
one of a Christian, a Catholic, a Jew, a Muslim, a Buddha,
(01:41):
a Buddhist,
Hindu. I am none of the above, and I am all of the above.
So I just wanna get that really crystal clear before I speak.
I am an independent child of God, period. End of story.
So I'm gonna be speaking through the that lens, and I'm gonna be speaking from,
(02:04):
just my own perspective in my heart.
And my wish for this video is
to pay tribute to somebody who I did not disagree did not agree with all the time,
but I appreciated the way he did things. And I appreciated
many, many things about this person.
(02:25):
And I didn't like many, many things about this person.
So,
anyways, I just need to get this off my chest because
I did. I just do.
So Charlie Kirk was somebody who
I started watching a little bit back during,
the election season just because whatever. I was watching some YouTube videos. I saw this guy, and he was sitting in the middle of, like, 20 college kids in a circle, and he would, you know, debate them. And I love words. Words are my love language, so I thought that was really interesting.
(02:58):
And I liked,
I forgot the name of the,
the media company, but they would have, you know, somebody who's from the left debate a bunch of right people from the right, and they would have somebody from the right debate a bunch of people from the left. And I thought that was cool, you know, because I think we need to have more conversations
and dialogues in our country.
And sadly, we don't. We have headlines. We have short snippets of information, and then people pick a side, and then they think the other side is bad, evil, wrong.
(03:26):
And they, you know, stick their flag in, and it's us versus them and la la la.
One of the reasons I liked Charlie Kirk was because
he was a fierce defender of the first amendment,
and I am too.
And what I love about the first amendment is, you know, we have the right to free speech. Certainly, we do not have the right to call for violence or anything of that nature. However,
(03:55):
I think,
you know, we also live in the best country in the world, in my opinion, even though it's flawed,
because we don't have to listen to the people speaking.
Isn't that neat? You can just say, click. Swipe left. I don't wanna listen to you.
Same thing. We don't have we're not forced
to do exactly what our government says, like a dictatorship. Right? We don't live in that world. And so
(04:21):
that's a giant blessing, in my opinion.
And
that's what makes the first amendment so powerful. And,
you know, what I loved about Charlie Kirk was when he would go do these college campus tours.
How many of you
go out in front of thousands of college kids and you don't know if they're all on your side or against you or if it's their parents or who's gonna show up in line to talk to you. But Charlie would give these kids a microphone
(04:51):
and
give them not just, oh, speak in one minute. He would give them, you know, ten, fifteen minutes to talk and debate him on certain subjects, whatever they thought was, you know, relevant, whether it was abortion,
whether it was God, whether it was left versus right, or trans, or gay, or
any of it. You know?
(05:12):
I was
impressed
with the the way that Charlie's brain worked because he had an encyclopedic
mind, and he could pull a lot of information. I wish I had that much,
storage capacity in my hard drive. I just don't. My brain doesn't work that way. However,
you know, it wasn't about putting people down. He I never heard him curse. I never heard him call people names.
(05:38):
He was very much a man of God. God was, you know, first in his life and then his wife and children,
and then his community. You know? And,
again, I don't believe everything
he believed in, and I don't stand for everything he stood for. And I certainly don't support certain people that
certainly don't support
certain people that he supports.
But I do believe in God, and I believe,
(06:00):
you know, that was his driving force in my experience. I probably watched a good,
I would say,
forty hours of him, you know,
in long form with his debates. And I just thought they were so interesting,
you know, because he would talk about racism. He would talk about DEI. He talked about all the subjects that people are afraid to have open conversations about.
(06:26):
And it's one thing to see two powerful people
that are news people who are paid million bucks to sit on behind their desks and talk about stuff. It's another
to be in uncharted territory and new audiences
and give the microphone to students.
Nobody has done that to the scale that Charlie did.
(06:48):
And I hope that people keep doing that because it's very, very important that we listen to the young people.
It's very, very important that we give them a voice and microphones
and not just, you know, screaming and ranting and raving on social media.
It's important that we have intelligent
conversations and dialogue
(07:09):
with people that we do not agree with.
Tons of people like, tell me one person in the world that you agree with everything that they say. There's no human on Earth that any of us agree with a 100%
other than ourselves. And quite honestly, I think I'm full of shit half the time.
So it's just like,
uh-uh. So, anyway,
(07:31):
coming back to the first amendment,
We live in a beautiful, beautiful country.
And, again, as flawed as it is, we have the ability. Right now, I'm independent. I can go pop a live stream up and have a few people listening. Thank you for listening.
And I'm not, you know, duct taped by the mouth by my sponsors or by my network or by anything.
(07:54):
And so
nobody can censor me.
You know? Obviously, the big social media networks can, but I'm on Nostr, and I'm also just having my own,
you know, trove of recordings.
And I can put them out there if I wish to. And so, you know, what we're seeing is a lot of,
(08:15):
oh, gosh. They're canceling Jimmy Kimmel or whoever. Who cares? You know? Let Jimmy Kimmel go start his own network. I mean, look at what Tucker Carlson did and look at the other independent news people. You know?
You don't have to work with a big,
you know, media outlet. In fact, it's better if you don't because you can say what you want. So
(08:36):
that's not possible in many countries in this world.
And so the fact that we have independent
media and journalism,
which is what Charlie did. He went
out by his own, you know, funding through his organization
and went and did these college tours
and wanted to speak and listen.
(08:57):
How cool is that? So
I hope and pray that
other people come up and
rise up and have intelligent
debates and not name calling,
not throwing stones, and and cutting people down, but
talk about the ideas.
Talk about the policies. Talk about the implications of the policies
(09:20):
instead of, oh, that guy's a jerk, and he's bad, and blah blah blah. No. That's not a sign of an intelligent debater. A debater
debates the topics. Okay? And so what we've
devolved to in social media and mainstream media is attacking the messenger instead of the message.
And, unfortunately,
(09:40):
somebody
attacked the messenger that was Charlie Kirk with a bullet.
And I have a whole theory on this, and I'm not gonna talk about it here.
But I just wanna say that I really, really, really am thankful for you being on this Earth, Charlie. Like, you are a very special,
(10:01):
voice.
You know? And it's very scary to go out there and use your voice. Trust me.
And it's very scary to stand up in front of people who do not agree with you and maintain your composure.
You know? I'm a very emotional person. I would be the worst person to do that.
I would just
I'm not skilled. I am not as, you know,
(10:22):
calm as as he was.
And so I just think it was a very,
this is a unique turning point for real, and not to, you know, just use this organization. This is a turning point in The United States and hopefully for the world. And so wherever you are, Charlie Kirk, I pray that you're
watching over everybody in peace and, you know, your beautiful family. I'm so sorry that they had to lose you to violence because you spoke.
(10:51):
I mean,
that's what happened to Martin Luther King.
Do I agree with Martin Luther King on everything? Was he a perfect human? No. He cheated on his wife,
but he was a great man. Right? And so there's so many people out there that do these
wonderful things, but they're just humans. Right? And we're all just doing the best we can. And, you know, we can't throw stones in a glass house. Right? Like, we all have our own faults. We all are full of shit at some times. We're all liars. We're all manipulators.
(11:22):
We're all people out there
literally trying to survive,
but then we're also trying to thrive and make the world a better place. And so that's something that I really,
I just admired that about him. He did not drink. He did not smoke. He was, you know,
I think a very virtuous person,
(11:43):
and I like that about him because it sets a good role model for young people. You know? What we see today right now, you know, people are sleeping with a whole bunch of people. They're not committing to each other. They're you know, what's your body count? All this stuff.
There's not chivalry anymore.
So I think I appreciate,
(12:03):
you know, call me an old fuddy duddy, but I like some of the old fashioned values, you know, that I grew up with. And
I I hope that, you know, I love all the new stuff too, but I'm also, like, there's a foundation that I think
we can all agree. I mean, I agreed with him on that.
I watched a video once of him talking to a couple guys. I don't know who they were. It was two, like, podcaster guys. And they were talking about, like, hey. Do do you pay for women on the first date or, you know, on your dates?
(12:34):
And, you know, I don't know if both of the guys said no, and Charlie was just like, I would be embarrassed as a man if I didn't pay for a woman on a date. Like, that's,
like, embarrassing. I would always wanna pay for a lady on a date. That's what a gentleman does. And I thought, wow. That's nice. He cares about women.
You know? And so,
(12:55):
again, I've watched at least forty hours of long form. So any of these little snippets and, oh, he promotes violence and hate, I did not ever see that in the my research of watching all these videos. And so, sure, it's easy to take something out of context and make a headline out of it and, oh, you're a bad guy. I mean, that's what they do to everybody on the left, the right, anywhere. So
(13:17):
do your homework. Don't just read the headlines.
But
we are conditioned
because they wanna control us, they,
to be on sports, politics, and religion and
call each other, you know, them
versus us.
And
I don't believe in any of that stuff.
I believe it's us, all of us together as humans, the the human race. So I will always stand for that. And, you know, again, I don't agree with what Charlie always said, but I am so grateful
(13:49):
that he taught me not to be afraid to use my voice. And I have self censored myself a lot, let me tell you. Because as a mother,
you don't want your kids' friends'
moms to think like, oh god. You're you've got the crazy mom. Well, they already think I'm a little crazy, but
once I really unleash
oh, shit.
(14:10):
Anyway,
that's it. I just really wanted to say that. And,
you know, a lot of people
are like, how could you support Charlie Kirk? You're you're about peace and love. And you're like, damn straight I am. But I'm also full of rage, and I'm full of anger because
we have not, as a society,
(14:31):
gotten our act together enough
yet so that there's
again, this kid was my opinion, the the shooter was a patsy, and this is a whole different operation. But we are allowing these things to happen. We're allowing school shootings to happen.
I love the first amendment, but I also appreciate the second amendment because guess why it's there?
(14:52):
So that we can have the first amendment.
Do I think we need to have gun laws? Absolutely.
Do I think any idiot should have a gun? Uh-uh.
Do I think that you should have just like you have to drive a car, you need a license and insurance?
Yep. I think that would make sense to me personally,
to keep people safe and have accountability.
(15:14):
So I think people should be able to have the right to defend themselves and bear arms for sure.
And
against predators in their, you know, local vicinity and against a a a toxic government that might turn against us. And so, yes, the second amendment
do I have a gun?
No. But do I think anybody who wants one, who passes the test and gets insurance should have one? Yeah. That makes sense to me. So
(15:42):
I wish we could have just this thing called the common sense party instead of
liberal republican,
whatever,
democrats. It's like, can we have common sense?
You know, that would make sense.
So,
anyways,
it's Sunday.
Like I said, I was a little nervous to do this post, but God told me to, and I did. And I listened to what God says. I have had
(16:11):
probably the roughest seventeen months of my life with health issues, with family issues.
A lot of things happening in my life that
really kicked my ass in a few ways, and I'll be talking about that, you know, in some upcoming
episodes.
But I've been on a little hiatus, and I'm still gonna be on it for a minute. But I will be serving you in the best way that I can with podcast. And,
(16:39):
my invitation to you is
tune in to whatever your god is, whatever your version is, whether it's nature, whether it's Jesus, whether it's, you know, your higher power of voice, whether it's, you know, the universe.
My invitation to you is is make that your guiding force,
your guiding voice, and use the strength of God
(17:02):
to speak
and share your truth and share your vision and share your love and share your mission
with the Earth and the people on Earth. You know? And so
and don't censor yourself.
You know? And it's scary, and I'm gonna be doing more,
taking off the duct tape off of my mouth because I've been afraid of,
(17:27):
maybe hurting people's feelings or saying something that, you know,
some of my friends wouldn't like or some of my family wouldn't like or whoever. So
I'm not saying to go be mean and hurt people on purpose, but don't don't be afraid.
Stop being afraid, you know, and
do your research before you make lots of judgments,
(17:48):
you know? And it's okay to have an opinion.
But
before you go and shoot the messenger, like, go listen to all the messages
in context.
And
let me tell you why
it's not your fault that this is happening.
You were overworked.
You are underpaid.
Your
(18:09):
dollar or currency, whatever you're using, is getting debased
at an astronomical rate.
So you're exhausted.
You're tired. You're confused. You're overwhelmed.
And the idea of going and listening to forty hours of Charlie Kirk just so you can have an idea
of,
do you believe this guy or not? I can see why it's difficult to say yes to that. You know? So, again, it's not your fault that you haven't done this. This is my job to kind of, you know, pay attention to voices and angles and for me to triangulate positions of,
(18:42):
things happening in the world, you know, so that I can go out there and speak in a way that's meaningful.
But it's not your fault. Okay?
But
remember,
like, if you haven't done the research,
be careful with how firm you stand in your positions. You know? And and don't let just headlines from mainstream media or some social media headlines
(19:05):
be your,
only data points
to form your your worldview,
you know, because you're you're missing a lot. And, again, it's not your fault. And I know most of us are exhausted because of this, and this is why I'm a Bitcoiner, You know? Because I'm trying to help
get a new world built with the sound money so that people have more time to have dialogue and research and understand things from a, a deeper perspective.
(19:30):
So enough of that soliloquy
soliloquy.
Listen to God. Listen to your God
and and act from there, and I will be too.
And,
you know, I'm so grateful to to our country and the people who fought for our country
and died for our country and for the freedom and the voices that we each have.
(19:54):
And I pray that everybody on planet Earth has the opportunity to, if they wish, use their voice. And that's what Charlie did, and that's what I loved about him. And so,
God bless you, and God bless your family.
And God bless everybody who's listening who
wants to use your voice. Like, use it. We need it. We need more voices of love and more voices of power and truth
(20:18):
and unity.
Okay? It's not us versus them. There's only us. Like, we, the collective, all of us. So let's get it together, people. I love you very much. God bless you, and,
I I hope you have a wonderful Sunday. Thank you for listening, and,
share this with a friend if you feel like it. I know a lot of people don't
(20:40):
like Charlie Kirk, but,
maybe they'll get something new out of it. And maybe their heart might soften,
and maybe they might pick up a microphone and start talking and,
you know, sharing themselves. So who knows? So god bless.
(21:01):
More peace and more love, please. Thanks, God.
Good morning, Love Tribe. It's been a minute.
I hope you are doing well on this Sunday morning.

And I hope that people keep doing that because it's very, very important that we listen to the young people.
It's very, very important that we give them a voice and microphones
and not just, you know, screaming and ranting and raving on social media.
It's important that we have intelligent
conversations and dialogue
(07:09):
with people that we do not agree with.
Tons of people like, tell me one person in the world that you agree with everything that they say. There's no human on Earth that any of us agree with a 100%
other than ourselves. And quite honestly, I think I'm full of shit half the time.
So it's just like,
uh-uh. So, anyway,
(07:31):
coming back to the first amendment,
We live in a beautiful, beautiful country.
And, again, as flawed as it is, we have the ability. Right now, I'm independent. I can go pop a live stream up and have a few people listening. Thank you for listening.
And I'm not, you know, duct taped by the mouth by my sponsors or by my network or by anything.
(07:54):
And so
nobody can censor me.
You know? Obviously, the big social media networks can, but I'm on Nostr, and I'm also just having my own,
you know, trove of recordings.
And I can put them out there if I wish to. And so, you know, what we're seeing is a lot of,
(08:15):
oh, gosh. They're canceling Jimmy Kimmel or whoever. Who cares? You know? Let Jimmy Kimmel go start his own network. I mean, look at what Tucker Carlson did and look at the other independent news people. You know?
You don't have to work with a big,
you know, media outlet. In fact, it's better if you don't because you can say what you want. So
(08:36):
that's not possible in many countries in this world.
And so the fact that we have independent
media and journalism,
which is what Charlie did. He went
out by his own, you know, funding through his organization
and went and did these college tours
and wanted to speak and listen.
(08:57):
How cool is that? So
I hope and pray that
other people come up and
rise up and have intelligent
debates and not name calling,
not throwing stones, and and cutting people down, but
talk about the ideas.
Talk about the policies. Talk about the implications of the policies
(09:20):
instead of, oh, that guy's a jerk, and he's bad, and blah blah blah. No. That's not a sign of an intelligent debater. A debater
debates the topics. Okay? And so what we've
devolved to in social media and mainstream media is attacking the messenger instead of the message.
And, unfortunately,
(09:40):
somebody
attacked the messenger that was Charlie Kirk with a bullet.
And I have a whole theory on this, and I'm not gonna talk about it here.
But I just wanna say that I really, really, really am thankful for you being on this Earth, Charlie. Like, you are a very special,
(10:01):
voice.
You know? And it's very scary to go out there and use your voice. Trust me.
And it's very scary to stand up in front of people who do not agree with you and maintain your composure.
You know? I'm a very emotional person. I would be the worst person to do that.
I would just
I'm not skilled. I am not as, you know,
(10:22):
calm as as he was.
And so I just think it was a very,
this is a unique turning point for real, and not to, you know, just use this organization. This is a turning point in The United States and hopefully for the world. And so wherever you are, Charlie Kirk, I pray that you're
watching over everybody in peace and, you know, your beautiful family. I'm so sorry that they had to lose you to violence because you spoke.
(10:51):
I mean,
that's what happened to Martin Luther King.
Do I agree with Martin Luther King on everything? Was he a perfect human? No. He cheated on his wife,
but he was a great man. Right? And so there's so many people out there that do these
wonderful things, but they're just humans. Right? And we're all just doing the best we can. And, you know, we can't throw stones in a glass house. Right? Like, we all have our own faults. We all are full of shit at some times. We're all liars. We're all manipulators.
(11:22):
We're all people out there
literally trying to survive,
but then we're also trying to thrive and make the world a better place. And so that's something that I really,
I just admired that about him. He did not drink. He did not smoke. He was, you know,
I think a very virtuous person,
(11:43):
and I like that about him because it sets a good role model for young people. You know? What we see today right now, you know, people are sleeping with a whole bunch of people. They're not committing to each other. They're you know, what's your body count? All this stuff.
There's not chivalry anymore.
So I think I appreciate,
(12:03):
you know, call me an old fuddy duddy, but I like some of the old fashioned values, you know, that I grew up with. And
I I hope that, you know, I love all the new stuff too, but I'm also, like, there's a foundation that I think
we can all agree. I mean, I agreed with him on that.
I watched a video once of him talking to a couple guys. I don't know who they were. It was two, like, podcaster guys. And they were talking about, like, hey. Do do you pay for women on the first date or, you know, on your dates?
(12:34):
And, you know, I don't know if both of the guys said no, and Charlie was just like, I would be embarrassed as a man if I didn't pay for a woman on a date. Like, that's,
like, embarrassing. I would always wanna pay for a lady on a date. That's what a gentleman does. And I thought, wow. That's nice. He cares about women.
You know? And so,
(12:55):
again, I've watched at least forty hours of long form. So any of these little snippets and, oh, he promotes violence and hate, I did not ever see that in the my research of watching all these videos. And so, sure, it's easy to take something out of context and make a headline out of it and, oh, you're a bad guy. I mean, that's what they do to everybody on the left, the right, anywhere. So
(13:17):
do your homework. Don't just read the headlines.
But
we are conditioned
because they wanna control us, they,
to be on sports, politics, and religion and
call each other, you know, them
versus us.
And
I don't believe in any of that stuff.
I believe it's us, all of us together as humans, the the human race. So I will always stand for that. And, you know, again, I don't agree with what Charlie always said, but I am so grateful
(13:49):
that he taught me not to be afraid to use my voice. And I have self censored myself a lot, let me tell you. Because as a mother,
you don't want your kids' friends'
moms to think like, oh god. You're you've got the crazy mom. Well, they already think I'm a little crazy, but
once I really unleash
oh, shit.
(14:10):
Anyway,
that's it. I just really wanted to say that. And,
you know, a lot of people
are like, how could you support Charlie Kirk? You're you're about peace and love. And you're like, damn straight I am. But I'm also full of rage, and I'm full of anger because
we have not, as a society,
(14:31):
gotten our act together enough
yet so that there's
again, this kid was my opinion, the the shooter was a patsy, and this is a whole different operation. But we are allowing these things to happen. We're allowing school shootings to happen.
I love the first amendment, but I also appreciate the second amendment because guess why it's there?
(14:52):
So that we can have the first amendment.
Do I think we need to have gun laws? Absolutely.
Do I think any idiot should have a gun? Uh-uh.
Do I think that you should have just like you have to drive a car, you need a license and insurance?
Yep. I think that would make sense to me personally,
to keep people safe and have accountability.
(15:14):
So I think people should be able to have the right to defend themselves and bear arms for sure.
And
against predators in their, you know, local vicinity and against a a a toxic government that might turn against us. And so, yes, the second amendment
do I have a gun?
No. But do I think anybody who wants one, who passes the test and gets insurance should have one? Yeah. That makes sense to me. So
(15:42):
I wish we could have just this thing called the common sense party instead of
liberal republican,
whatever,
democrats. It's like, can we have common sense?
You know, that would make sense.
So,
anyways,
it's Sunday.
Like I said, I was a little nervous to do this post, but God told me to, and I did. And I listened to what God says. I have had
(16:11):
probably the roughest seventeen months of my life with health issues, with family issues.
A lot of things happening in my life that
really kicked my ass in a few ways, and I'll be talking about that, you know, in some upcoming
episodes.
But I've been on a little hiatus, and I'm still gonna be on it for a minute. But I will be serving you in the best way that I can with podcast. And,
(16:39):
my invitation to you is
tune in to whatever your god is, whatever your version is, whether it's nature, whether it's Jesus, whether it's, you know, your higher power of voice, whether it's, you know, the universe.
My invitation to you is is make that your guiding force,
your guiding voice, and use the strength of God
(17:02):
to speak
and share your truth and share your vision and share your love and share your mission
with the Earth and the people on Earth. You know? And so
and don't censor yourself.
You know? And it's scary, and I'm gonna be doing more,
taking off the duct tape off of my mouth because I've been afraid of,
(17:27):
maybe hurting people's feelings or saying something that, you know,
some of my friends wouldn't like or some of my family wouldn't like or whoever. So
I'm not saying to go be mean and hurt people on purpose, but don't don't be afraid.
Stop being afraid, you know, and
do your research before you make lots of judgments,
(17:48):
you know? And it's okay to have an opinion.
But
before you go and shoot the messenger, like, go listen to all the messages
in context.
And
let me tell you why
it's not your fault that this is happening.
You were overworked.
You are underpaid.
Your
(18:09):
dollar or currency, whatever you're using, is getting debased
at an astronomical rate.
So you're exhausted.
You're tired. You're confused. You're overwhelmed.
And the idea of going and listening to forty hours of Charlie Kirk just so you can have an idea
of,
do you believe this guy or not? I can see why it's difficult to say yes to that. You know? So, again, it's not your fault that you haven't done this. This is my job to kind of, you know, pay attention to voices and angles and for me to triangulate positions of,
(18:42):
things happening in the world, you know, so that I can go out there and speak in a way that's meaningful.
But it's not your fault. Okay?
But
remember,
like, if you haven't done the research,
be careful with how firm you stand in your positions. You know? And and don't let just headlines from mainstream media or some social media headlines
(19:05):
be your,
only data points
to form your your worldview,
you know, because you're you're missing a lot. And, again, it's not your fault. And I know most of us are exhausted because of this, and this is why I'm a Bitcoiner, You know? Because I'm trying to help
get a new world built with the sound money so that people have more time to have dialogue and research and understand things from a, a deeper perspective.
(19:30):
So enough of that soliloquy
soliloquy.
Listen to God. Listen to your God
and and act from there, and I will be too.
And,
you know, I'm so grateful to to our country and the people who fought for our country
and died for our country and for the freedom and the voices that we each have.
(19:54):
And I pray that everybody on planet Earth has the opportunity to, if they wish, use their voice. And that's what Charlie did, and that's what I loved about him. And so,
God bless you, and God bless your family.
And God bless everybody who's listening who
wants to use your voice. Like, use it. We need it. We need more voices of love and more voices of power and truth
(20:18):
and unity.
Okay? It's not us versus them. There's only us. Like, we, the collective, all of us. So let's get it together, people. I love you very much. God bless you, and,
I I hope you have a wonderful Sunday. Thank you for listening, and,
share this with a friend if you feel like it. I know a lot of people don't
(20:40):
like Charlie Kirk, but,
maybe they'll get something new out of it. And maybe their heart might soften,
and maybe they might pick up a microphone and start talking and,
you know, sharing themselves. So who knows? So god bless.
(21:01):
More peace and more love, please. Thanks, God.
