Speaker 1 (00:00):
Straight ahead on Real America tonight, remembering Charlie James Kirk
c j K. Remember that, folks, tens of thousands, hundreds
of thousands gathered in the Arizona Desert yesterday to pay
tribute to the slain conservative Christian activist, vying to keep
his legacy alive for generations to come. God bless all

(00:21):
of him. And in an emotional and deeply spiritual eulogy,
Charlie's widow, Erica, breaks down in tears in a heartbreaking
yet deeply compassionate gesture towards her husband's assassin. What a
strong woman will show you that and the power of
Charlie's vision is impressed upon the President of the United
States as Donald J. Trump offers his condolences and promises

(00:43):
that this is only the beginning of America's turning point.
I'm Dan Ball, and Real America starts right now.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
On the cross. Are c your said, father?

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Forgive them for they not know what they do.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
That man, that young man, I forgive him.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Amazing powerful and the truly remarkable display of grace and compassion,
Charlie's widow, Erica forgives her husband's assassin. Why because it's
what Christ would do, and she believes it's what Charlie
would want her to do. The grieving mother of two declaring,
the answer to hate is not hate. The answer we
know is from the Gospel. It is love. And yes,

(02:00):
I know it's hard, folks, and it's hard for me.
Trust me. You heard the President last night. It's hard
for him too. Love for our enemies and love for
those who persecute us. Erica Kirk is a pillar in
my book of strength in a time of deep despair
in our country, in our world. Exhibiting dignity that truly

(02:21):
honors her husband's legacy. She was joined by so many
amazing people in our America first Movement, of course, the
President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, the Vice
President JD. Vance, US senator's member of Congress, I mean
almost the whole cabinet was there, dozens of dignitaries, celebrities,
and then of course hundreds of thousands of mourners from

(02:43):
around the country. People were showing up from Miami, Florida,
and Upper State New York and southern California, you name it.
They all drove to Glendale, that's outside of Phoenix, arizonner
to say a final farewell to Charlie yesterday for several hours.
By the way, Erica will now care on her husband's legacy,
and the movement will only get stronger, she said. Charlie's

(03:05):
enduring message, and I've been saying this since that assassin's
bullet took him. It's faith, it's family, and it's patriotism.
That's what he wanted us to believe in. Your faith
is first put your family right up there in God,
and then be patriotic to be an American. What's wrong
with that? Or if you're watching from around the world,
be patriotic for your nation. I think this is even

(03:28):
a bigger movement than Charlie, even though he had big
plans probably could have ever imagined.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Eleven days ago. God accepted that total surrender from my husband.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
And then called him to his side.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
More than anything, Charlie wanted to do, not his will
but God's will. And over these past eleven days, through
all the pain, never before have I found as much
comfort as I now do in the words of our
Lord's prayer that I will be done.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
I also saw on his lips.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
The faintest smile, and that told me something important. It
revealed to me a great mercy from God in this tragedy.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
When I saw that, it told me Charlie didn't suffer.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Even the doctor told me there was something so instant
that even even if Charlie had been shot in the
operating room, it's itself, nothing could have been done. There
was no fame, there was no fear, no agony. One moment,

(04:55):
Charlie was doing what he loved, arguing and debating on campus.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
Fighting for the gospel.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Truth in front of a big crowd, and then he blinked.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
He blinked.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
And saw his Savior in paradise.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
But most of all, God's mercy and God's love have
been revealed to me these past ten days after Charlie's assassination.
We didn't see violence. We didn't see rioting, we didn't

(05:48):
see revolution. Instead, we saw what my husband always prayed
he would see in this country. We saw revival. Charlie's
life was a turning point for this country. It was
a miracle. Let that miracle, it was Charlie's life, be

(06:14):
your turning point as well. Choose prayer, Choose courage.

Speaker 6 (06:24):
Choose beauty, choose adventure, choose family, Choose a life of faith.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Most importantly, choose Christ.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
And that was Charlie's message. Courage in my faith. That's
what he wanted to be remembered for Erica. God bless you.
You are so strong. I don't know how you're doing it.
President Trump gave him moving eulogy to the man he
describes as a martyr for American freedom, highlighting kirk sacrifice
and framing his death as a result of speaking truth

(07:01):
and standing up for Christian conservative values. The president calling
Kirk one of America's greatest patriots, a leader who inspired
young conservatives and helped the GOP reach younger voters. He
promised to award Charlie the Presidential Medal of Freedom, emphasizing
that Kirk's legacy admission should be cared forward by supporters
for generations to come.

Speaker 7 (07:21):
He was violently killed because he spoke for freedom and justice,
for God and country, for reason and for common sense.
He was assassinated because he lived bravely, He led boldly,
and he argued brilliantly, without apology.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
He did what was right for our nation.

Speaker 7 (07:46):
And so on that terrible day September tenth, twenty twenty five,
our greatest evangelist for American liberty became immortal.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
He's a matyl now for America freedom.

Speaker 7 (08:03):
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. Today, an entire nation wraps
its loving arms around you, and beautiful children. We share
your immense and overwhelming sorrow, and.

Speaker 8 (08:23):
We vow 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.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
That's what he is.

Speaker 7 (08:35):
Charlie Kirk loved America with everything he had, and as
we can see so clearly today, America loved Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 8 (08:53):
And he could always draw a big crowd.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
Look at this today, look at what's gone on a
big crowd.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Perhaps one of the most powerful eulogies at the service
was delivered by our Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Rubio
declaring that Kirk matters more now than ever before, honoring
his legacy by highlighting his bold leadership, leadership that Marcos
has sparked a renaissance of conservative and Christian values among youth,
not only in America but worldwide. And I got to say, folks,

(09:24):
I cannot remember a time where we have seen politicians,
elected leaders talking about God, the Gospel, their faith in
Him and Jesus Christ. Ever in my fifty years on
this rock, and I am so glad they are finally
stepping up to the mic.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Look.

Speaker 9 (09:40):
I think he had an a tremendous impact on young
Americans in general.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
I think he had a very special and.

Speaker 9 (09:45):
Direct impact on young men in this country. That's one
of the greatest developments I've seen. It's been very positive.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
I think we remember him for that.

Speaker 9 (10:00):
I think we remember him for constantly saying, you want
to live a productive life, get married, start a family,
love your country.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
These are powerful messages.

Speaker 9 (10:09):
But I hope many who are watching I imagine there
are people watching here tonight that didn't know much about
Charlie Kirk until eleven days ago. Maybe they were disengaged
from politics, maybe they were partially engaged.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
I hope one of the things they take.

Speaker 9 (10:20):
From this is that the movement Charlie Kirk led and
started and gave fuel to was about politics, but not
only about politics.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
It was deeper, it was broader.

Speaker 9 (10:31):
And I would say that taking the liberty, but I'm
confident he would agree.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
One of the things he wants.

Speaker 9 (10:37):
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 and
all powerful God, who loved us and created us for
the purpose of living with him in eternity. But then

(10:57):
sin entered the world and separated us from our care.
And so God took on the form of a man
and 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.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
And then, and to prove.

Speaker 9 (11:20):
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, but his flesh.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
And then he rose to the heaven.

Speaker 9 (11:30):
But he promised he would return, and he will. And
when he returns, because he took on that death, because
he carried that cross, we were freed from the sin
that separated.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Us from him.

Speaker 9 (11:41):
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 the people we love.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Thank you God, bless.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
You preach it, Marco. I love that joining us now
to do a little more preaching because I think what
we witnessed yesterday in that hot desert Arizona, let me
just tell you, was Some people are calling it a memorial,
somebople calling it a revival. I'm saying what the world
witnessed yes yesterday, especially with the evil that has been

(12:17):
spewed out there the last several years, the hate and
the division, the anti God coming from people around this globe,
I would say what we witnessed with hundreds of thousands
showing up, driving from across the country, with millions watching,
this was a miracle in the desert for all to see.
So joining me now to do that preaching because I'm

(12:39):
sure as heck not going to do it. Are my
personal pastors, Leanne and Jurgen with theseus beck on the program. Pastors,
nice to see you, am I in your minds? Do
you think I'm accurate in saying what we witnessed as
a people, knowing where we have been the last few

(13:02):
years as a people, I think it's bigger than politics.
It's bigger than a revival, even for the Christian faith
in this nation. I think this was a global miracle.
Look at the millions that were watching online and the
millions in the last twelve days that have now heard
of Charlie Kirk, watched his videos and have come to christ.

(13:22):
I don't remember a time, guys, in my only fifty
years of existence, of anyone having this impact since I've
been alive, and my grandma, sweet old man, and I
raised me watching you know, Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggert, Billy Graham,
all the bigs and those bigger revivals in the tent
and stuff. This was bigger than that. Welcome guys, It's an.

Speaker 10 (13:43):
Honor to be on the show, Dan, and thank you
first of all for opening with Erica Kirk's incredible moment.
I mean, you could feel the presence of God fall
in that stadium when she ouded those words to the man,
the young man who out of hate put a bullet
in my husband, I forgive you.

Speaker 5 (14:05):
It could not highlight greater.

Speaker 10 (14:07):
And I guarantee CNNMSNBC and the other channels will not
be covering that because they can't cover it, because it
is the distinction between us and them, a righteous reaction
of forgiveness, of love, of kindness in the face of
the most egregious hostility. Her children will grow up fatherless.

(14:33):
And yet rather than call for vengeance and scream death,
she says, I forgive you.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
So powerful, pastor Leanne thing. I'll tell you. I think
I text you, guys. I text Andrew and some of
the team at TPSA for sure. I don't remember who
I text over the last twelve days, but I said,
just listening to Erica last night, and how strong she's
been since that first speech two days after his assassination.
My spouse and I, you know, my beautiful, amazing wife, Peton,

(15:02):
we've been talking about we've got to be better spouses
like those two.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (15:07):
Absolutely, And I think that was shown loud, bright and
clear across that auditorium, across that venue yesterday. It was
just astounding to see her rise in such incredible strength.
She encouraged the nation. Here is a woman walking through
the darkest time of her life, suffering lost that many
of us would not be able to comprehend. And yet

(15:30):
she got up and she encouraged the nation. She brought wisdom,
She spoke to husbands and wives about the power of marriage,
the power of serving one another in love. She's a
true champion, a true hero, and a role model for
women everywhere. I was so blown away by her strength
and honor. I would say, the Bible talks about a
proverb thirty one woman who rises while it is yet night,

(15:54):
And I would say, look no further for a proverb
thirty one woman than Erica Kirk. In her darkest hour,
in her nighttime.

Speaker 5 (16:01):
She rose.

Speaker 11 (16:02):
She encouraged America. She bought truth, she bought wisdom, and
I believe will go down through the ages as a hero.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yes, yes, she will, the both of them. You're going, Leanne,
whoever wants to take it, just describe for my viewers,
people that couldn't attend and maybe didn't get a chance
to watch because they were working yesterday or in the
fields or doing something. Just describe what it was like
to be among all of those believers and then those

(16:33):
people highest up in our government to see folks like that. Finally,
and I say finally, because it's been you know, you
know this. You don't have had this discussion. It's been
told to these politicians. Don't bring up your faith on
the campaign trailer once you're in, because you'll, you know,
turn off some of the voters. I have never seen
the amount of powerful people talking about God and the

(16:54):
Gospel and their faith ever in my life. So just
talk a little bit about that and then what it
felt like to be part of that. With that energy there,
with God being in the room, the Holy.

Speaker 5 (17:03):
Spirit, it really was extraordinary. You know.

Speaker 10 (17:07):
We had to get up very very early to get there.
I think we got to the venue just after seven
and when you walked in already the atmosphere was electric. Yeah,
electric with worship. It was that they had the best
kai job, Chris Tomlin, the best worship leaders from around

(17:28):
the nation bringing people into worship.

Speaker 5 (17:30):
People were singing.

Speaker 10 (17:31):
The memorial went from eleven am all the way through
to five pm. It was a six hour thing, but
the time flew like that because we were in the
presence of God. But the highlight for me was to
see the greatest leaders, not just in America, but the
greatest leaders in the known world today all standing up,

(17:54):
all professing a faith in God, a faith in Christ,
an allegiance. But what God is doing it was great heart.
We can see that America's greatest days are in front
of us. And that's why the enemy is more vicious,
more nasty, more spiteful, more hateful, more murderous than ever before.

(18:14):
Because of what is rising is God, and God is
saving America. He's saving this nation because he loves America
and he loves the beautiful people in it.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, can I show I want to show a video
and then LeAnn, I want to get your thoughts on
this video. And Erica brought this up during her speech.
I think it was even one of the clips we
played five years ago. This nation had months and months
of riots because a certain political party in this nation
and a certain people leaning a certain political way decided

(18:48):
that a known convict, a known drug addict got murdered
and it was about race, when we all know it
wasn't if you actually look the facts up. And I'm
not saying the names because I don't want to discuss them,
but I want to roll this video and show people
the difference between when that certain person in Minneapolis got
accidentally killed because it was not a murder, and how

(19:08):
people in this nation reacted with violent riots versus when
a Christian, a husband, a father, a beautiful man that
we all loved and knew as a friend got assassinated
in front of millions of people streaming, and we didn't riot,
we worshiped. We came together. Show that video quick and
I'll get their take on the backside.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
So from crazy.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Folks, look at the difference. Those are multiple images from
the summer of love over George Floyd's death. The top
video you know what that is, that's Glendale, Arizona yesterday. Pastors,
I give you the final word of this segment discussing
our good friend Charlie, his faith, his courage, and his faith,

(20:12):
what it means to be a Christian and how we
have to fight, fight, fight like never before for our faith,
our family and this country. And yes, our faith should
be involved in our politics in this nation. It's how
we were founded. And urging final words to you.

Speaker 11 (20:31):
Yeah, what a distinction. You can tell somebody's impact in
this life by how people respond after their death. And
it was really, really clear. Charlie Kirk's impact was a
profound one. It was a godly one. It was a
virtuous one. Even being at the memorial service yesterday and
just seeing the honor, the patriotism, the kindness, the love

(20:52):
put out, the worship the prayer the vigils. It's really
clear that America is at her best when she honors God,
is at her best when she honors the honorable. And
we saw that played out yesterday. And John ten ten
says the thief, the devil has come to kill, steal,
and destroy. But Jesus said, I have come that you

(21:12):
may have life and life in abundance. So where anywhere
we see destruction, we see chaos and death, we know
that it's the signature or the fingerprints of the devil.
But wherever we see life, wherever we see honor, wherever
we see the beautiful, most splendid outpouring for this magnificent

(21:34):
man yesterday, we know that it's God. God is in
this God is in this story. So we were so
happy to be there yesterday and celebrate this man's magnificent life.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
And it really is.

Speaker 10 (21:44):
The contrast is to double down that the devil has
come to steal, kill and destroy. So we saw looting,
we saw destruction, and we saw murder during the riots.

Speaker 5 (21:54):
That you brought up five years ago.

Speaker 10 (21:56):
But to see Charlie, even at the venue, there were
protesters yelling out, I hope your baby dies, yelling out
nasty things only being met with love, only being met
with kindness. The left wing media refuses to answer that
or even show that, because they this is the hill
they want to die on, that they are the virtuous,

(22:18):
they are the upright, and that we are the problem,
when nothing could be further from the truth. And the
two contrasts of how they respond and how we respond
is clear to everybody. That's why they would do everything
to squash what you've highlighted.

Speaker 5 (22:33):
And I just want to honor you, Dan.

Speaker 10 (22:35):
Thank you for your patriotm your love for God, your
love for your bride, your love for your church, your
love for us, your love for this nation, and above
all of that, your love for the truth.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
We need you.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah. Amen, Thank you guys, and we need you folks.
If you're watching this program, as I sign off again
with my personal pastors, if you are seeking the word,
just open it up. If you need a little nudge
and ittle help, I will tell folks you can go
on my pastor's website, the Churches Awaken. It's in southern California,

(23:06):
but we have churches across California and we're growing. And
I just think the message that these pastors put out
let me tell you, unlike some of these weak, need
worldly pastors who wouldn't even bring Charlie's names up, you
need pastors like these two. God bless you too. Love
you guys, you take.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
Care, lucky, Love you, God bless.

Speaker 12 (25:56):
I always felt a little uncomfortable talking about my faith
in public as much as I love 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.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Vice President JD. Vance making a powerful declaration at the
memorial for Charlie Kirk on his deep rooted and usually
very private view of faith and religion. As I've been
saying during this entire program, folks, i have never in
my lifetime, and I'm so happy to see this and

(26:34):
say this, seen politicians speaking about their faith in front
of such a large audience with such conviction. All I
can say is, because I'm not going to throw any
shade at anybody, is it's about time, and thank you
and God bless that they're doing it. You see, that's
what we've been lacking. We need our leaders to talk

(26:56):
about their faith even more. It's an awesome testament that
both still have a place in our public square and
obviously in the future of our country. We can't have
one without our faith. I'm telling you that right now, folks,
that message of faith and devotion gaining traction, thanks in
part to the life and legacy of our friend Charlie Kirk,

(27:17):
the executive producer for The Charlie Kirk Show, announcing that
the memorial honoring the slain conservative activists had more than
one hundred million did you hear me? Over one hundred
million overall streams through production and streaming partners, with total
viewership most likely even higher than that as family and

(27:38):
friends gathered to watch the service together. I think hundreds
of millions saw it. In his eulogy Health and Human
Service as Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Junior emphasized Kirk's commitment
to freedom of speech and dialogue, highlighting that Charlie always
gave the biggest microphone to those who most passionately opposed him,

(27:58):
believing in a civil conversation.

Speaker 13 (28:02):
He always gave the biggest microphone to the people who
were most passionately aligned against him, because he believed that
we need to talk to each other, and that we
needed to be able to say what we mean without
saying it mean. And he asked me if I was
scared of dying, and I said to him, there's a
lot worse things and death, and one of those things

(28:26):
is if we lost our constitutional rights in this country,
and that our children were raised as slaves, and I
said to Charlie, I said, sometimes the best consolation we
can hope for is that we get to die with

(28:49):
our boots on. Well, Charlie died with his boots on,
and he died to make sure that we didn't have
to undergo those fates that are worse than death. Oh,
let's remember it. Charlie. He was for those of us
who were friends with Charlie. We don't need any more

(29:12):
evidence of the love of God, because the evidence of
friendship is the best evidence that God loves us.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
All you could tell it was that was so real
and raw for Bobby, after obviously everything his family has
gone through, losing his uncle, his father to an assassin's bullet.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsey Gabbert was among the dignitaries
paying tribute to Kirk at yesterday's memorial service in Arizona.

(29:42):
Gabart remembering Kirk as a warrior she says for truth
and freedom who engaged daily in the arena of ideas,
armed with what simply the Constitution, folks. She highlighted Kirk's
role in defending free speech, faith, and the rights envisioned
by our founders. That Charlie's words were his weapons. He

(30:02):
used truth, reason and superior arguments to cut through ignorance
and lies.

Speaker 14 (30:10):
He was winning so much, winning so much so that
the forces of darkness, hate, and evil were threatened by
him and tried to silence him. History shows this dark
pattern that when ideas cannot withstand scrutiny, whether it's the
ideology of so called religious fanatics or political fanatics, their defenders,

(30:35):
terrified that their weak ideas will be exposed for what
they are, turned to intimidation, censorship, and violence. They kill
and terrorize their opponents, hoping to silence them. But in
this evil that we have experienced, that Charlie face their
flawed ideology as exposed. Because by trying to silence Charlie,

(31:00):
his voice is now louder than ever. His message is
more powerful and impactful than ever. The truths that he
spoke have spread hundredfold.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Now, folks, Charlie was also a huge healing force, playing
a big part in the reconciliation of President Donald Trump
and the former head of DOGE Elon Musk. If you
were watching any part of yesterday's Amazing Revival Memorial celebration
of Life Miracle in the Desert, whatever you want to

(31:39):
call it. It was something to be seen, wasn't it.
You would have seen at some point because everybody was
pointing it out. Trump and Musk together. There it is
now we all know, as we covered it on this program.
They've been estranged for several weeks, a few months after
a public feud over political and policy disagreements. But on

(32:00):
Sunday they were reunited. They were shaking hands, they were
having a conversation, they were smiling and chuckling with one another.
Trump or portally told Musk that he missed him. Musk
responded positively, indicating a willingness to reconcile for Charlie, which,
by the way, was Charlie's wish. He had said it
on his program. I believe it was with Megan Kelly

(32:24):
just a couple months ago. He had hoped for them
to reconcile. He knew that we would be a stronger
nation with them together. Kirk played a mediator role, if
you will, between Trump and Musk during their disagreement, encouraging communication,
warning Musk against undermining Trump's political initiatives. But he wanted
to bring them together, just like he wanted to bring

(32:46):
people together, not just a president and a titan of industry.
He wanted to bring a Christian with an atheist, non
believer together so that they could see the word and
become saved. He wanted to bring a Republican, a Democrat
who fought vehetently over policy together and say, look, we're
all Americans. We can find some common ground.

Speaker 14 (33:06):
Why was he killed?

Speaker 15 (33:11):
He was killed because his voice made a difference, because
he was showing people the light, and he was killed
by the dark.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
He was showing people the light. Thank you, Elon joining
me now to discuss Charlie's legacy, the amazing revival that
we witnessed yesterday in Arizona, and the future of TPUSA
moving forward.

Speaker 10 (33:33):
Now.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
He's the host of Turning Point tonight on rev also
a Turning Point USA contributor, and he's been a fill
in host on this program and I consider him a
good friend. Joe Bob back on the program, Joe Bob,
how you doing, my friend?

Speaker 16 (33:48):
Oh well, I was gonna say thanks for having me,
But to answer that question, not great, but getting better
every single day, especially with the overwhelming encouragement like you
mentioned of yesterday. I like that miracle in the desert.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
That's I mean, look, people are calling it a revival
on our side, and then you have the left tearing
that word down. I won't even go there. I'm not
going to even discuss any of the disgusting things that
they're saying today. I'll wait for tomorrow night's show. I'm
kind of like President Trump. I'm trying to get hate
out of my heart. I can't do it like Charlie
as quickly and as easily. But tonight it's going to
be about what happened yesterday, and to me to see

(34:25):
hundreds of thousands of people pour into Phoenix, hundreds of
millions watching online thinking about how many souls were saved yesterday,
but then the mission now moving forward and changing hearts
and minds for generations to come. Joe Bob, that all considered,
look at the world we've been living in. It has

(34:47):
been an evil mess the last several years. I'm calling
it a miracle. This happened. That's God's work, Joe Bob.

Speaker 16 (34:55):
Yeah. You know, as far as turning point goes, I'll
be goes without saying uh. September tenth was a tragedy
of epic proportions. In the couple days since Charlie was assassinated.
I my wife, and I couldn't help but think of
Erica constantly. When she decided that she was going to

(35:16):
give a press conference on the Friday after the Wednesday
where her husband was assassinated, I looked at my wife
and said, I I couldn't do that. I, honest to God,
don't know that I would have the guts to be
able to stand up there like she did, like a
brick wall, and deliver an eloquent and graceful speech as
she did. And as difficult as that might have been,

(35:37):
to top her speech yesterday, I think is the pinnacle
of what the conservative movement is going forward with turning point.
You know, especially after Charlie was murdered. You know, it
was up in the air. You know, there's no way
of I'm not saying that, you know anybody wanted it
to be that, But would you be ridiculous to not think, Okay,

(35:57):
well what's gonna happen? Of course, but Erica and the
way that she has held herself and composed herself, has
eliminated any doubt that anyone possibly could have. Not that
there was really any big doubts there, but she has
eliminated it. Especially with her speech yesterday highlighting forgiveness. And
I want to say that specifically, you know, without getting

(36:19):
into all the theological reasons as to why you must forgive,
but going forward and leading this organization, she is going
to do it in such a graceful and well mannered
way because she was able to forgive in her heart.
That is the only way to move forward. It is unfair,
it is a difficult burden to bear, but it must

(36:39):
be bared in order to go forward. And because she
has done that, because she will live her life that way,
there is no doubt that turning point not only will continue,
but will be magnified as big as humanly possible.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
I think, and I, Joe Bob, I surely believe this.
And again I said this all last week, in the
last twelve days since this happened to our friend Charlie,
that while the Devil's got a plan down here with
the evil hearts and minds that are amongst us, guess
what God's got the overall playbook. He sees what's coming.
He's gonna use that evil for good. He took Charlie's

(37:15):
horrific assassination. That's what it was. A political assassination and
he turned this into a worldwide movement now where and
again I don't say this lightly. Charlie with another thirty
years would have done amazing things. But in his death,
I think he's reaching more hearts and souls than he

(37:37):
may have with thirty more years at TPUSA, And again,
God saw the evil plan coming, took over and look
what happened on Sunday. Let's talk about that because put
that full screen up. I just saw you guys post
jobob that the speeches Charlie was going to give, even
I think one today tomorrow and then again later this week.

(37:57):
Here's the rundown. You've got some big names that are
now going to turn out, and you are going to
continue all of these scheduled visits that Charlie was going
to do through the rest of the year, with folks
like Megan Kelly and Tucker and governors and senators coming
out and celebrities. I saw Rob Schneider's I mean, people
are going to come out fill that chair. Nobody's ever

(38:19):
going to fill it. But I said this last week,
and I want your take. I think Charlie's passing is
going to create millions of new Charlie kirks.

Speaker 16 (38:28):
Yeah, as the saying goes, when a tyrant is killed,
he loses his power, and when a martyr is killed,
his power only grows. The people that think that they
had any business or we're even going to slightly stop
Charlie's voice in what Charlie was fighting for at all,
I hope, are trembling by the fact that every single

(38:49):
person in the conservative movement, in the Christian movement around
the country are now on board to go to the colleges,
finish the tour, and to be quite honest with you,
it's going to get more attention than we would have
ever hoped. And again, would we give it all back
to have Charlie, Yes, course, But of considering the circumstances,
it is the It's only going to get bigger and

(39:12):
more powerful as time goes on and people continue to
pour in to this organization that Charlie was fighting for
and started and was doing everything his power to make
the difference that it is currently making. You know, again,
nobody wanted to see what happened, but in the reality
that we exist and now it is only going to

(39:34):
improve the Conservative movement which Charlie was fighting so hard
for and I think specifically going to improve the Christian movement,
which is what he would have wanted.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
More. Charlie's one of his final words in a podcast
on June twenty ninth, and everybody's been running it and
several of the speakers alluded to it last night when
he was asked if he were to pass, what would
you want to be remembered for. It wasn't for being
a Republican, It wasn't for getting a better conservative movement,
he said, courage in my faith.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (40:04):
Who? Okay? Now, before I started losing it, let's get
back to yesterday's event because for folks that couldn't watch
it here on OAYN or on streaming, I want to
keep showing things. Tyler Bower, You obviously know Tyler one
of the top guys over at TPUSA in your social
media world. He posted this and again, so prophetic, and

(40:24):
that's why people are calling Charlie a prophet connected directly
to God, and I firmly believe it. Where are the pictures, guys,
Because Tyler posted something about this memorial, which right now
we believe it was the largest in American history. But
the key to me is Charlie had a vision a
few years back. Joe, Bob and I remember talking to
him and you guys all about Amfest and how big
it would become. And I remember the year you got

(40:46):
fourteen thousand, and you got a few more thousand if
you want, and you're like, this is gonna grow. We're
gonna have twenty five, We're gonna have fifty thousand. Charlie
sent this in July of twenty twenty one, talking to
Lauren and Tyler to employees at TEPSA, saying, here's my vision.
That's a stadium packed with people for like an Amfest event.
And the other picture is what went down in the desert.

(41:07):
That's the top pick yesterday, the miracle, right, guys, which
one's the bottom? Yeah. So my whole point is, look
at what Charlie was thinking about creating years ago. Look
what went down yesterday. He had no idea and assassin,
some radical lefty, was going to take his life in
such a horrific manner. But the man stood on his faith.

(41:30):
He envisioned bringing people to Jesus like this, and it
came true. Now, if you're not a godly person, I
don't know how you you don't have to be going
to church three days a week and reading the Bible
every single day. To put two and two together and go,
wait a minute, this godly man who was murdered for
the world to see is now turning millions of people

(41:50):
towards Christ. And you don't think that Christ is real?
You got some evil in your heart and we're here
to help you.

Speaker 16 (41:58):
Yeah, it's it's unbelievable. And to be quite honest with you,
those photos shared, yeah, were a depiction of what he
thought America Fests should look like. It ended up being
his memorial service. But at the same time, I think
it would be inaccurate to say that, well it would
stop there.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
I don't know.

Speaker 16 (42:16):
I wish I could give you some insider information, but
as the numbers stand right now, I'm not sure America
Fest can be held in the same spot that it's
been held in just because of the overwhelming response the
tickets sold. I honest to God, don't think guys, this
arena again that holds sixty seven thousand.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
What did you have? What were you expecting for Amfest
this year? Prior to this horrific assassination of our friend Charlie?
What were you thinking? Twenty five we're going to show
up this year.

Speaker 16 (42:42):
Well, you know, around the fifteen thousand mark is where
it's been, or at least it has been in the past.
I think the first year it was done, and you're
looking at twelve and maybe for twelve or ten, then
maybe twelve thousand next year. Then you know, he keeps
going up every single year.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
You need that arena, Joe Bob. I need that really arena.
It might be big enough come December, my brother, all right,
I want to show a few more clips and get
your take because this was filled with friends and politicians,
per his personal pastor obviously his wife. There was so
many different people coming from different angles of knowing Charlie right,
and I love that. There was some really strong messaging

(43:18):
from our Secretary of War. There was some lighter moments
from Don Junior. There was obviously the emotional moments from
Erica pastor McCoy. Just so many and we played a
bunch in our first interview before you came on, Joe Bob.
But I wanted to run this one of our Secretary
of War, Pete hag Set, because him and Charlie knew
each other very well. They've done on each other shows
they traveled together, and I just want to roll this

(43:39):
real quick and get your take.

Speaker 17 (43:41):
Charlie started a political movement but unleashed a spiritual revival.
My pastor texted me the day after that horrific event
and said, Pete the devil overplayed his hand. Charlie started
with liberty but ended up lighting our country on fire.
For Christ he started turning point USA, but this moment

(44:02):
is the turning point for the.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
USA right now.

Speaker 17 (44:13):
He died the way he lived, speaking the truth. Charlie
waged war not with a weapon, but with a tent,
a microphone, his mind and the truth and the gates
of Hell could not prevail against him.

Speaker 16 (44:33):
Your thoughts, Joebob, Yeah, it's it's accurate, and it's also
interestingly enough, but also probably divine intervention that every single
person had almost a similar message. Obviously loved the Secretary
of heg Seth's words, but almost every single person, I think,
if not every single person mentioned their faith. Jade Vance,

(44:53):
as he played an earlier in The Eclipse, said this,
You know, I haven't talked about my faith nearly as much, JOBB.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
It can ruin your political career these days if you do.
Don't talk too much Christianity out there, too much faith,
too much believing in the word. I think we blew
that out of the water yesterday. Maybe more of you
politicians better start talking about your faith, then we could
actually fix things. One more jobaba. I get your take
on this one, just because I want to end on
some levity and something bright and funny and cheery. Obviously,

(45:21):
I think the world, except for some crazy lefties, chuckled
when Don Junior, opening his speech about someone who he
considered his little brother, even said Charlie was like a
little brother to me. He opened with this, and the
whole crowd, even the present United States, had to chuckle.

Speaker 18 (45:36):
Who's seen me on social media knows I'm far more
likely to crack a joke or get myself in trouble
for posting some grossly inappropriate memes than I am to
shed a tear. I know this because I've even gotten
the call from that guy a couple of times.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
You know, done, done.

Speaker 18 (45:58):
You're getting a little a great us, even social media done.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Relax. I think in that moment of sadness when we
were honing our friend, a little bit of levity was okay. Obviously,
Later in the speech, Don Junior did start to get
choked up talking about his friend Charlie Kirk, who he

(46:22):
thought of as a little brother. But I thought that
was just something we could end on because everybody needed
a good laugh, and especially politicians should be able to
laugh at themselves.

Speaker 16 (46:33):
Now one hundred percent appropriate. I think one of the
big things that I've been talking about the last week
is reminding people that Charlie also loved to laugh. He
loved to laugh at jokes, he'd loved to laugh at
lib's doing ridiculous things, and he also liked to laugh
at himself. There are several clips that I've been posting
of us engaging at me, throwing him Taylor Swift lines
and saying, hey, finish this line, and he would have
no idea because he did not like Taylor Swift, but

(46:55):
he would laugh at himself. And I think that's a
fond memory that I helped everybody that he loved to
laugh and was a humorous guy, and it's very humanizing
when people laugh, and I think we should highlight more
of that.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
Amen, Amen, Joe Bob. Check him out on Turning Point tonight,
his show over on REV and all of the contribution
he makes to TPSA of a filling Joe, Bob, you
and our other friends at TPSA are all going to
be stepping up and filling that void. Like I said,
a million more Charlie Kirks, God bless you, Jobob. We
love your brother, take care, Thanks you yep up. Next

(53:08):
let's hoping the old inbox and read some viewer messages tonight, Shawe,
it's been a while. I know. I apologize, folks, It's
been a crazy twelve days. Mike writes, Hey, Dan AOC
was on the House floor today reading from her note
saying that Charlie Kirk was ignorant and educated. What she
didn't know was the notes she was reading from were
about her. Thank you, Mike, appreciate that these people, Diane says,

(53:30):
we are so far from TDS. We all know that's
the Trump derangement syndrome that I decided to name them
as having a libtard overdose. Yes, Diane, I would agree
they are overdosing on something and it's not rational, common
sense thought. Deb wrights, I swear, if I have to
watch one more Bill Gates commercial, I'm going to cancel
my subscription with you. What a slap on the face

(53:52):
for consider across the nation. You can do better. Do it, okay, Deb, You,
along with other folks, have sent me and folks the
network this message. We got the message loud and clear.
Now let me send one back, and I hope you
keep your subscription and keep watching one of the only
networks that speaks truth to power. We don't control the
commercials on all the new providers that we're on now.

(54:13):
They sell the ads, they pick the ads. We don't.
So if you don't want oan to grow, then we'll
stop getting on other carriers. But if you'd like us
to keep growing so we can spread our message of
truth and conservative values, we have to get on carriers
that control the advertisements. I'm so so sorry, but you
know what you can do. Mute that dumbass Bill Gates

(54:34):
until my show comes back on. There you go, deb
and we got any more? Richard writes Dan on behalf
of the one hundred. I think he means million magas
wrong because I'm gonna say there's more than one hundred thousand.
There's millions and millions of us in this country. I
am Charlie Richard. That sentiment is echoing across this nation

(54:54):
and across the globe, as we have seen, and I
want to run one more. That's not a post, but
an action, will clip from someone on social media because
millions of people around the world have been posting videos
of themselves since Charlie's horrific assassination about either finding Charlie's messaging,
finding the word now following God getting saved. Open the

(55:17):
Bible for the first time, so just watch this video
as we head into commercial break.

Speaker 19 (55:22):
But for the very first time, yesterday I grabbed the Bible.
I don't know what I'm looking for in the Bible.
I don't know why I felt like I needed to
grab the Bible, but I grabbed my husband's Bible and
the page that I opened up to.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
Was the verse.

Speaker 19 (55:42):
John eight thirty two, and it said, then you will
know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

Speaker 8 (55:50):
And I feel like.

Speaker 19 (55:53):
That changed me so much, because up until yesterday, I
I leaned both ways politically. I am pro life, but
I also believe women should have autonomy over their bodies.
I don't care if someone is gay, but I don't

(56:14):
want sexuality pushed on my children in school. I believe
in the Second Amendment, but like it also makes me
sad that bad guys have guns too. I've never voted before,
but after yesterday, I know where I stand. I will
never cast a blue boat. I am convinced that the

(56:40):
Democratic Party is ran by the Devil himself, and I
know I'll get hate for Saintanis and I don't care,
but I feel like Charlie's death. Charlie Kirk's death woke
me up spiritually and now I can't unsee the truth.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
