The Charlie Kirk Memorial - What a Day!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I forgive him because it was what Christ did and
is what Charlie would do. The answer to hate is
not hate. The answer we know from the Gospel is
love and always love, love for our enemies, and love

(00:21):
for those who persecute us.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Wow, what a day. I might have watched a soprano
TVD box set in the late nineties for five hours.
It's about the only thing I can ever think. I
sat and just could not get up from. And I'm
not comparing it to the sopranos. I'm just saying, watching
something that long, I want to talk to you about it. Man,

(00:49):
This is something that I need to know. Did it
affect you the way that it did me? The number
to me is five five nine two thirty forty two
forty two, two thirty forty. I am so glad that
I got to watch it alone, my hot, hot in

(01:11):
an air conditioned room. Tears could come down whenever I
wanted them to. I was checking on a try tip
and the slow cooker, but I didn't feel like grilling,
and I mean some tears hearing it just in there
in the kitchen. Had to hit pause right before doctor

(01:32):
Ben Carson started. I hit pause and had to go
out water the yard. Kind of I did take a
little break. But before they can be revival, man, we
gotta we gotta humble ourselves seek his face. I thought,
I don't need to point out others to change their

(01:53):
wicked ways. God's calling us all from our wicked ways.
And if we can do this across the land, man,
he's gonna hear us from heaven and he'll he'll heal
our land. That's that's what I thought yesterday, I still
think today. But I also thought about how many people

(02:14):
went to church camp as a kid, a teenager. Maybe yeah,
you might have. You might have been at the at
the church camp, heard people talk like Charlie kirk did,
gave me encouragement. You might have even said something Charlie
Kirkish around the campfire that was in early August, early September.
You were in the hallways, in the locker rooms and

(02:34):
with your friends back that didn't go to church camp.
It was hard to be Charlie. Charlie Kirkish. So that's
revival this church camp. Yesterday, I had an older lady
that listens to the show. She's in her mid eighties,
and she emailed me and she goes I can't even
remember any presidential administration with so many members talking about

(02:56):
the Gospel. She said, even under Reagan, there so many.
She said, the Lord is working at this time and
so true, just amazing. This was I'm going to say
the one line that mattered the most, and it was
it didn't come from uh, it didn't come from his widow,

(03:19):
Eric Erica. It didn't come from Reverend Marco Rubio, who
will get to it didn't come from President Trump. No,
this one cut through man, and this was what it
was all about. Doctor Frank Turret.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Listen, now, I want you to know that Charlie right
now is in heaven. Not because he was a great
husband and father, Not because he saved millions of kids
out of darkness on college campuses, not because he changed
minds and chased votes to save the country, not because

(03:57):
he sacrificed himself for his savior. Charlie Kirk is in
heaven because his Savior sacrificed himself for Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yes, one line to take care it is now Erica
Kirk's moment of forgiveness. That was the moment of the day.
Only only a heart that Jesus was allowed to get
into and remake, remake, and then to sprinkle that grace
on there. See that's the strength of christ Man, it's

(04:32):
not a weakness. How many of us asked, could we
have done that? My answer would be, you know what
my answer would be, And Jesus is in my heart.
You know what my answer would be. I hope to
get there someday. That's what I was thinking, is she
was talking boy, when she was talking about how she

(04:56):
heard her husband out there saying, Lord, send me here,
I am I'm yours us. However, he's like, ah, you
should have talked to me about that, right, my husband.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Charlie, he wanted to save young men, just like the
one who took his life.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
M it's dangerous to live like Charlie Kirk. I'm not
talking about being out in front of people that hate you.
Just what he said to God he was willing to do.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
I said, Charlie, baby, please talk to me next time
before you say that statement, because when you say something
like that, there is so much power in that verse.
When you say here I am Lord, use me. God

(05:52):
will take you up on that, and he did with Charlie.
Eleven days ago. God accepted that total surrender from my
husband and then called him to his side. More than anything,

(06:15):
Charlie wanted to do, not his will but God's will.
And over these past eleven days, through all the pain, never.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
Before have I found as much comfort as I now
do in the words of our Lord's prayer, Thy will
be done.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
You know what, that's dangerous. I say it every morning.
It's actually a website that I would go to, and
they had it up there every day, right at the top,
and that became my habit, that website. See the little
things websites can do to influence people, but that is
a it's in there, or Thy will be done.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
After Charlie's assassination, we didn't see violence.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
We didn't see rioting, that's racy.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
We didn't see revolution. Instead, we saw what my husband
always prayed he would see in this country. We saw revival.

(07:47):
This past week, we saw people open a Bible for
the first time in a decade. We saw people pray
for the first time since they were children. We saw
people go to a church service for the first time
in their entire lives.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
She's telling the truth. She's telling the truth. Listen to
this guy. It's all on social media.

Speaker 6 (08:15):
I had tickets to see Charlie October twenty ninth at
Old Miss I was really looking forward to it. I've
been a lifelong atheist. I never believed in God, but
I saw the joy that it brought to Charlie, and
it brought me to God, and it really moved me
to see him. And I was looking forward to meeting
him and telling him that you help me find God.

(08:37):
And I saw that peace that he had. And so
I'm here today to celebrate his life and make sure
that people don't forget how much of an impact he had.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
For almost I wonder how many Bibles were opened yesterday
for I don't know, maybe the first time like this lady.

Speaker 7 (08:51):
I've never ever opened the Bible before. In fact, I
know nothing about Christianity or Jesus. But yesterday, after witnessing
the assassination of Charlie Kirk on the Internet and it
just being so normal.

Speaker 8 (09:12):
To people, like watching this man get shot in the
neck and everybody being so desensitized and just going on
it like like it was normal, I something was calling
me to my husband's bible, to.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Her husband's bible. There was a Bible in the house,
but she never opened it. Thank how many stories like that?
Everybody has their own. Mine was in the living room
and kitchen five five nine, two thirty forty two forty two.
Let's go to Frank Confredsno, Frank, thank you for picking
up the phone and calling Hi.

Speaker 9 (09:50):
There, Hi, Trevor. How's it going good?

Speaker 2 (09:53):
What a day did How much of that was it?
Five and a half hours somewhere around there? How much
did you get to view yesterday?

Speaker 9 (09:59):
Well, we went to church and then by the time
we got home from church. J. D. Vance was on
maybe one person before him, and we caught it from
that point on.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
But yeah, well I'm gonna hopefully, Frank, you can keep
listening to the show. I'm going to play some Secretary
of State Mark or Rubio that you missed since Stephen
Miller White House Advisor. Boy, I tell you he can get.

Speaker 9 (10:22):
Any I've seen. I've seen some of those goods already,
and I was encouraged up by a lot of those.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Well, I I don't even know what the word is
Tucker crass and said he'd never seen anything like it
remarkable in his life.

Speaker 9 (10:36):
I know I know what the word is. I know
what the word is for everybody, and what that word
that word is it's comfort. It's comfort because this whole,
this whole ordeal, you know, it led up to forgiveness
and the and the Lord said that the comforter would
come when he ascended to heaven. And what I seen

(10:59):
in Erica was the Holy Spirit, because it's not in
our own strength. It's through the Holy Spirit that we
have the strength to forgive our enemies. Instead of wanting
bad for them, we bless them and we send blessings
where curses should be, we send blessings. And that's what

(11:19):
I got out of, you know, the final goodbye to Charlie.
And I think that this is what would Charlie would
want to everybody be comforted and knowing that he's he
through his death, we're able to forgive because we've been
forgiven mm hm. And we need and we need to

(11:40):
forgive ourselves too. Let's not leave that part out because
that's important too, from all our bad choices in life.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
And when they were talking about family being number one
and husband and I've had some failed marriages, and I
thought about that, Frank, I really did you know as
humans we fight, right I'm sure you've been in a
fight with a significant other and we make we make up,
and there's that comfort feel right after you make up,
all that bitterness goes away for the moment of comfort.
But yesterday, that comfort that you just said, I think

(12:10):
we got that without any kind of an apology or
anybody on the other side saying we're so sorry. That's
the Holy Spirit bringing that. Wow, there you go, Frank,
Thank you man, You're welcome.

Speaker 9 (12:23):
Have a good day.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
God bless you man.

Speaker 9 (12:25):
Everybody listen, thank you.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
For that call. That's a great start. You know what
I was thinking in up in heaven. You don't talk
about heaven enough. Duty there is everybody I care. Right
before that is death, and we want to stay away
from talking about death. But hey, we're going to one
of two, so let's talk about the one we're going to.

(12:48):
I saw yesterday Billy Graham sitting up there next to
Charlie Kirk, and Billy Graham said, son, I had his
bigger crowds, but never a hundred million connections at once.
And think about this, each connection had how many people
in the room. We'll never know, we'll never know the reach,

(13:12):
We'll never know how many people open their Bibles for
the first time. That I can tell you right now,
something's up. You know how I know something is a
little bit up? Well, President Trump here, let me go,
let me find this here President Trump was talking about

(13:35):
he's a missionary. Let's go listen to this.

Speaker 10 (13:38):
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
the best for them. That's where I disagreed with Charlie.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
My opponents and I don't want the best for them.

Speaker 10 (14:03):
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.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Ah, right, do you hear that from the president. Maybe
Erica and the whole group can convince me. That's an
opening into the President's hard if I've ever heard one.

Speaker 11 (14:25):
This is the treportary show on the Fallaty's Power Talk.

Speaker 9 (14:30):
You know.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
In twenty years or fifteen years, ten years, oh well,
the age are at now, it could just be six
or seven years. He has a three year old right,
his oldest is a little girl a hobby will be
I mean, don't you love to go through and look
at old pictures of your parents and your family and
all of that. Think of they're going to just get
to sit back and it might be tough. I don't know,

(14:55):
Maybe they might not want to do it, but to
see their dad at work out there, how he changed America.
Think of the countless hours of the video and the
audio of all his his online and TV appearances and
with the President and his radio show that he seemed
to really love so much. His producer said he would

(15:18):
return every email Trevor a Power Talk ninety six seven
dot com he would return them all. All right. I
have to I think kind of apologize to director Ryan
Nigel before I got to see Secretary of State Mark

(15:38):
Rubio doing what he was doing. I runn't always a fan,
and you always were. You always liked Mark Rubio. And
you've heard me over the last nine months say wow
on him a few times, like way to go nailed.
It been a lot of nailing at moment. But yesterday,

(16:00):
I tell you there's people that said, well, Marco's missed
his calling, and I think perhaps not, maybe he seems
he found it and it's all our calling. He's following
the leading of the Lord God put him exactly where
he is, or such a time as this Secretary of State,

(16:21):
Marco Rubio.

Speaker 12 (16:24):
Is that the movement Charlie Kirk led and started and
gave fuel too, was about politics, but not only about politics.
It was deeper, It was broader, and i would say
that taking the liberty, but I'm confident he would agree.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
One of the things he wants.

Speaker 12 (16:39):
Us to take away from this, from all of this
is the following his deep belief that we were all created,
every single one of us, before the beginning of time,
by the hands of the God of the universe.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
We are in the middle of the transition. I'll go
as far as to say a great awakening. We're remembering.
America is and always been a Christian nation. Marco Rubio.

Speaker 13 (17:07):
He came down and lived among us, and he suffered
like men, and he died like a man. But on
the third day he rose unlike any mortal man. And then,
and to prove any doubters wrong, he ate with his
disciples so they could see and they touched his wounds.
He didn't rise as a ghost or as a spirit

(17:29):
but his flesh.

Speaker 11 (17:31):
And then he rose to the heaven.

Speaker 13 (17:32):
But he promised he would return, and he will.

Speaker 14 (17:35):
And when he returns, because he took on that death,
because he carried that cross, we were freed from the
sin that separated us from him. And when he returns,
there will be a new heaven and a new earth,
and we will all be together and we are going
to have a great reunion there again with Charlie and all.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
The people we loved.

Speaker 11 (17:54):
Thank you and God bless you. Wow.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Pass the Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket. I'll put money in it.
I'll go to that church Secretary of State, Reverend Mark
Rubio there yesterday we had preachers and we had media
type and we had the government showing churches how to
do church? Did you just say I did? Didn't I?

(18:16):
The government type showing the church type? How did how
to do church? There's a lot of people that share
Charlie Charlie Kirk's faith, and not everybody's called to be
Charlie Kirks. Fiva that you feel it, and you'll you'll
share it and moments one on one with some people

(18:40):
and it's okay. It's a God will call you when
to open your mouth and speak, you'll feel it. It'll
come from Him. So if you don't have that feeling,
doesn't mean that you're disobeying God, that you're not out
on the corner with your megaphone. Seemed like Vice President
Vance used to kind of be in that category. Meant
deep him, but listen to what what he says the

(19:03):
Vice President's public preaching.

Speaker 15 (19:06):
I was telling somebody backstage that I always felt a
little uncomfortable talking about my faith in public. As much
as I loved the Lord and as much as it
was an important part of my life, I have talked
more about Jesus Christ in the past two weeks than
I have my entire time in public life. And that

(19:50):
is an undeniable legacy of the Great Charlie Kirk. You know,
he loved God, and because he loved God, he wanted
to understand and God's creation and.

Speaker 11 (20:02):
The men and women made in his image. This is
the Trevor Cherry Show on the Valley's Power.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Talk sor that bacon cheeseburger ad. I'm like, oh, maybe
that's so hungry. I wanted it right then They just
said cheeseburger probably would have gone in one in and
out the other they threw that bacon in there. Is
it the change of season now that it's fall, I'm
finding myself hungrier earlier than normal at three point forty Yeah,
maybe so, maybe so. Charlie Kirk's producer said they had

(20:34):
a one hundred over one hundred million overall streams. The
iheartnews talk stations carried it across the country. Many outlets
chose not to. I think that was a mistake. Andrew,
he's the executive producer for the show, said one hundred
million streams. It's going to be larger probably once we

(20:59):
get it all figure. But then again, my mom and
dad in Tennessee watched it. That was one stream. Two people.
I watch it here one person, maybe there were five
ten amazing, just something. Tucker Carlson he I'm not even

(21:21):
playing liberal comebacks and stuff today. I didn't feel like
hearing their voices today. I'm going to tell you a
few things they said. But yeah, oh we got Congress
and Tom mcglentalk joining us at five o'clock talking about
things the liberals have been saying, the Marxist socialists, globalist,
luciferium left side. Not that all Democrats fit into that category,

(21:42):
but some do, like Congresswoman ill Han Omar. Yeah, they voted,
they voted the House to dissensure her over her comments
about Charlie Kirk just evil, vile, and four Republicans went
along with the Democrats. One of those happens to be
my representative in Congress, and keeping in the spirit of

(22:04):
Charlie Kirk and what I felt yesterday, he will be
presented an opportunity to explain to his constituents who don't
agree with him on why he chose. And I'm gonna
guess maybe it's something I got to think about about
how many times you hear me say there's no such
thing as a hate hate speech. There's freedom of speech,

(22:25):
and then there's speech that violates the law because you're
threatening somebody's life. So maybe that's the direction he's gonna go.
We're gonna give him the opportunity. I think there's behavior unbecoming.
I'm gonna ask him what kind of behavior would he
vote to censure somebody for? You know, what is can

(22:47):
you do that for behavior unbecoming of an elected official? Now,
if there had been let's say, I'm trying to think
of somebody like Charlie Kirk on the left, and there's nobody.
But let's just say they did have somebody like that
and they got assassinated. And what I want my congressman,
being Republican Tom McClintock, to make derogatory, vile comments about

(23:10):
the person. No, that would be behavior unbecoming of my
elected representative in Congress, is how I would feel. I
guess it's up to the people then to vote that
individual in or out based on that behavior. Well, here
I am trying to figure out what he's gonna say.
We're gonna let him say it at five o'clock Tucker Crosson, though,

(23:32):
I am going to say this, And I don't know
if many people he now, he's a highly intelligent man.
He knows how to ask good questions, highly successful doing
his own thing, snubbed the news at Fox and went
out and created something bigger than what his show was
on Fox. So but he doesn't he have that kind

(23:55):
of what's with the weird cackle at weird times? It's
like random. Now he sees in man, he's a personality.
He's I I don't remember what yesterday when he did that.

Speaker 11 (24:11):
I can't.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
I don't even try to imitate it. Right now, we
all know the Tucker cackle thing and it's weird, but
here he was talking about how it's the most unbelievable
thing that he has seen.

Speaker 11 (24:22):
It's real. This is the most unbelievable thing I think
I've ever seen.

Speaker 9 (24:26):
And I don't.

Speaker 15 (24:29):
Whatever happens next in America, I hope it's in this
direction because God is here and you can feel it.
And Charlie would have loved this, not just because he
loved large groups of people, but because ultimately he was
a Christian evangelist.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
He was Ultimately he was a Christian evangelist. Wouldn't that
wouldn't didn't that be? Wouldn't when you want that said
at your memorial, Jesus said, go and preach the Gospel.
So you think one of the best things that you
could be called was an evangelist, whether you ran a

(25:05):
tire shop, whether you were a FedEx driver. Now you're
going to be able in your FedEx uniform to talk
to people about Jesus at the door when you're dropping
off the packets. They're probably gonna frown on that, but
you get where I'm going with this. You can be
a Christian FedEx person at that door and go above

(25:26):
and beyond over the course of the year, and they
want to know, what's how do you Why are you
always so happy? You don't always have to be happy.
That's the wrong way to paint a Christian because I
think a lot of people think they're not Christian because
they're not happy enough. Happiness comes in waves, in my opinion,
like the ocean the tide. It's that undercurrent of joy.

(25:49):
And that's what we saw with the How do you
have an assassination and have a current of joy running?
And it wasn't an undercurrent, it was a flood of joy.
Somebody at some point should have said the joy the
Lord is my strength. That would have been a good
one to say. How many times have you sung that?

(26:12):
We sing songs, don't we with words? We even quote
scripture and without really maybe thinking of the impact that
it has. A paraphrase the scripture. But if you get
down on your knees, pray, turn them from your wicked ways.
I'll heal your country, I'll heal your land. Yesterday felt

(26:34):
like some spiritual medicine, some healing. First they were saying
one hundred thousand, Now I'm seeing here they're saying it's
been bumped up to original estimates of the crowd up
to three hundred thousand indoors outdoors. Mac Gee, who works

(26:58):
with city Councilman Nick Richardson's office, but was with Turning
Point USA at Fresleent State when he was there. We
had him on right after the assassination, and I just
spoke to him thirty minutes ago. He was down there yesterday,
but he's going to be in flight right now, so
he was about ready to get on a plane. So
maybe tomorrow the next day. Let him get back in,

(27:18):
get situated, let him come in and share what it
was like to be there in person. Man, even the
people I started watching early, even the people out in
the line when they were talking to him and the
reporter intentionally, you could tell when to some younger people,
and that's awesome because that's the future of America. And

(27:39):
it gave me a renewed strength and in what this
country will be when I'm no longer here. That was
some comfort, as Frank called the first call here talking
about the comfort, That's what he said. And it was
also comforting to hear Reverend Bennie Johnson. That's why I'm

(27:59):
going Reverend Marco Rubio and Reverend Bennie Johnson said what
he did about our talking about the government wielding the
sword against evil men. That's right, Godly godly rulers will
use the sword to protect good people right now. That

(28:22):
sword is the truth, and that's that's the number one
weapon to defeat evil, to get people to see the truth,
to get them to see it for themselves, not pound
them in the head, take them into a re education
camp and make them believe your truth. It was just

(28:45):
so encouraging. I was not expecting at all what I
what I witnessed, what No, let me phrase that, I
was not expecting at all what I felt. I don't
think we've ever seen anything like that. We've had Billy

(29:07):
Graham crusades, and I went to one in Memphis. I
got to see when as a kid got to see
and experience that. But I can't. Nothing comes, nothing comes close.
And it's not the size of the crowd. It wasn't
the flawless turning point USA, no feedback on a microphone
in five and a half hours. Bravo, well done, well produced,

(29:32):
and it felt right. Pastor Rob McCoy gave an alter call.
I have the chills down here, just still thinking about
when it was happening.

Speaker 16 (29:44):
The time I have remaining, I'm gonna ask all who
professed Christ as their savior to remain seated. The Bible says,
if you profess me before man, I'll profess you before
my father in Heaven. It requires an active faith. You stand.
That's what Charlie did every day on campus with death threats.
He stood because he knew in whom he had trusted,

(30:08):
and he wants to give you the gift of the
why and what he did, and that is his Savior, Jesus.
While believers are seated, if there's any in this room
and across the globe that would desire to receive Jesus
as our saviors, Charlie did as a young man and
now was in the presence of his Savior. I'm going

(30:29):
to ask you to put action to your faith, and
I'd ask you to stand right now to receive the Lord.
Don't be a shamed stand amen, amen, Amen.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
It was the day after the assassination or Charlie Kirk.
I asked my dad, now a retired pastor, even though
he's preaching a lot and filling in, but I so
what would I text him? What would be a good
hymn to play on the show? And he tested me
back great as I faithfulness. Remember we played that on
the show and to hear it played yesterday so many times.

(31:08):
Thank you Dad, that was a good recommendation.

Speaker 11 (31:11):
This is the Tremor Cherry Show. On The Valley's Power.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Talk, Kimmel was going to return to his late night
talk show tomorrow night. He was suspended indefinitely by ABC
comments he made about Charlie Kirk's assassination. He's been out
the air since that Wednesday. I guess I don't know it.
Did Rosie O'donnald get everybody fired up? Did the redhead

(31:36):
stinky braw sex in the city, Cynthia get everybody fired up?
I never called her that, but it really fit, didn't it?
Stinky braw sex in the city Cynthia? All Right, he's back, man,
Senator Cruz, Ted Cruz, I gotta agree with him talking
about the FCC's mafioso tactics against ABC over Jimmy Kimmel,

(31:59):
you can you can let ABC decide what they want
to do with their own private business. Now. Sec chair
really got it started even before Sinclair jumped in and
said what they were going to be doing by taking
