Speaker 1 (00:00):
We got a question for American mama's. Dear mamas, what
do you think is going to happen to this country
after the political murder of Charlie Kirk. Well, let's ask
American mama's.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh mama, she said, enjoining us now, our American mama,
Terry Netderville, this is you were a big fan of
Charlie Kirk, and I know that this has just been
(00:31):
dominating a lot of your thoughts.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yes, it has. It's it's been gut wrenching actually because
I keep thinking about his wife, Erica, his two little children.
But I have to tell you today I was you know,
you're scrolling. You're trying to make sense of something that's senseless.
You know, you're trying to gather some sort of formula
that makes sense in your head. It doesn't right, But
I will tell you this, this has actually given me
(00:55):
hope today. I have seen so many different colleges, college
kids having vigils, They're having open prayer sessions, They're coming
together and asking God to help to bless our nation.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
You know, this is one of the differences between the
right and the left. We were just talking about George Floyd.
When George Floyd died. The left rioted, They burned, cities,
they destroyed, they tore down. Last night across the country,
there weren't riots. There were prayer vigils. There were peaceful,
not mostly peaceful. There were peaceful gatherings of people wanting
(01:35):
to pray. Now, there were also Antifa and transhecklers at
a lot of these places, and there was police that
had to be called out to separate the trans hecklers
who were trying to attack verbally, attack, sometimes physically attack
the people who had gathered to pray. But the rights
didn't gather to riot.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
They gathered to pray because they've been taught that the
Almighty is the one that can help us above anything
else of politics, above any feeling or emotions you have,
It is God. God is going to get us through this.
And I have to say, I think another promising part
of what I've discovered today is there are many, many,
(02:13):
many on the left who have come forward and said this.
Whenever they see that, they'll show the video of one
of a leftists celebrating right, and they'll come out on
their platform and say this is disgusting, this is vile,
This will not get us anywhere, and it's moving people
to the right because there are people going I am
(02:34):
I'm out. I'm out. I'm not part of this right
that gives me hope. But I tell you what I've
told my children this. I know I said this yesterday,
but I saw something today that I want to read.
I've told y'all that for years, since my kids were little.
I don't know why I told them this, but I said, guys,
your generation is going to save us. I didn't even
know why or what they could save us from.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
You were doing that before we did the show, Yeah,
and I.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Was telling them we would be carpulling. And I was like, y'all,
y'all are special. God is preparing y'all for something so great.
I don't even know what that is, but you know,
I was like, am I just instilling this empowerment so
that they can grow up feelings? Now? I know you
are you are? So I saw this girl wrote something
online and she said, she said, every person in all
(03:22):
of history has been placed in the time that they
were in because of God's sovereign plan. He knew Daniel
could handle lines Den, he knew David could handle Goliath.
He knew Esther could handle Hayman. He knew Peter could
handle persecution. So don't be scared for your children, but
be honored that God chose you to parent the generation
that is facing the biggest challenges of our lifetime. Rise
(03:43):
up to the challenge. Raise the Daniels, Raise the Davis,
the Esther's, and the Peters. God isn't scratching his head
wondering what He's gonna do with the mess of the world.
He has an army. He's raising them up to drive
back the darkness and make him known all over the earth.
That is what is happening. I feel the Holy Spirit
completely outsource.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It is just.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Almost like just a hurricane of emotion and love from God.
It's like this, The Holy Spirit is touching lives on
the left on the right. Charlie had this ability to
reach the college aged kid he did. He was the
only person in this sphere of political whatever that cared
about what they thought, how they felt, and they felt
(04:23):
the genuiness of this. They felt that he empowered them
to know they got this.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
You could say there's a large part of the reason
why Donald Trump was reelected was because Charlie Kirk changed
hearts and minds amongst our youngest voters, the eighteen to
twenty fives, the eighteen to thirties. Charlie Kirk changed a
lot of hearts and minds in that age group. And
that's part of the age group the demographic that put
Donald Trump over the top for reelection.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Let me tell you something, Steven, I think that this
is more about his love for Christ. He wasn't only
just you know, just.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
About the Republican Party. The Republican Party was not right.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
It wasn't It was about he was moving people to
Christian values right, and that was a threat. Also, the
threat was that the left they saw, oh, this might
be trouble. He's got influence over these kids. This is
the future that he could have been present one day.
But before we go, I want to read to you
this quick little paragraph that Erica Erica his wife. Yes
(05:23):
she's and I thought, wow, this woman, this is before
all of this happened. And it was to her son.
It's a video of her son walking ahead of her.
She said, I'm not just your mother, I'm your first intercessor.
I raise you to stand when it's lonely, to carry weight,
when the world tells you to run, to build something
eternal and callous, hands and tender heart. And as the
enemy prows, attempting to redefine a battle he's already lost.
(05:45):
I humbly whisper my love. You are his before you
were mine. Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
That is a powerful, powerful statement.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I'm sure that Charlie felt the same way.
