- That will not be erased.
- 00:00:51.107 --> 00:00:52.142
- You know, charlie was not just a broadcaster.
- 00:00:52.142 --> 00:00:53.576
- He wasn't just a podcaster. he wasn't just a speaker.
- 00:00:53.576 --> 00:00:56.446
- He was not just
- 00:00:56.813 --> 00:00:57.914
- A founder of one of the largest grassroot conservative
- 00:00:57.914 --> 00:01:00.583
- Movements in the world.
- 00:01:00.583 --> 00:01:01.718
- He was a voice of courage and a defender of freedom.
- 00:01:01.718 --> 00:01:04.454
- He was a young man
- 00:01:04.454 --> 00:01:06.222
- Who believed, deep down in his bones,
- 00:01:06.222 --> 00:01:08.258
- That america was worth saving.
- 00:01:08.258 --> 00:01:09.359
- And i agree with that.
- 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.327
- I'll never forget the way that charlie carried himself.
- 00:01:11.327 --> 00:01:15.265
- You know, with all of the fame, for all of the crowds,
- 00:01:15.265 --> 00:01:17.567
- For all of the headlines.
- 00:01:17.567 --> 00:01:18.468
- Charlie was a humble guy.
- 00:01:18.468 --> 00:01:20.370
- I got a story, actually,
- 00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:21.404
- I want to share with you in just a few minutes
- 00:01:21.404 --> 00:01:22.639
- About an interaction that i had with charlie years ago.
- 00:01:22.639 --> 00:01:24.974
- That reminds me of that.
- 00:01:24.974 --> 00:01:26.676
- You know, charlie was clear. he was steady.
- 00:01:26.676 --> 00:01:28.311
- He was unafraid.
- 00:01:28.311 --> 00:01:29.879
- He never did flinch. he didn't bow.
- 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:31.314
- He didn't water down the truth
- 00:01:31.314 --> 00:01:33.583
- Just to make the world like him.
- 00:01:33.583 --> 00:01:35.385
- And i like that about charlie.
- 00:01:35.385 --> 00:01:37.120
- Charlie was a friend. and charlie understood
- 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.655
- Something that many never grasp.
- 00:01:38.655 --> 00:01:40.089
- And that is the freedom is fragile, cultures fragile.
- 00:01:40.089 --> 00:01:43.726
- The ideas, the ones that built this nation.
- 00:01:43.726 --> 00:01:46.896
- They're not self-sustaining.
- 00:01:46.896 --> 00:01:48.298
- They need defenders. they need champions.
- 00:01:48.298 --> 00:01:50.300
- And charlie decided early on in life
- 00:01:51.100 --> 00:01:53.603
- That he was going to be one of those champions.
- 00:01:53.603 --> 00:01:55.038
- I don't think he intended to be, but he was built for it.
- 00:01:55.038 --> 00:01:58.174
- I think god built him for it.
- 00:01:58.174 --> 00:01:59.342
- You know, when he built turning point usa,
- 00:01:59.342 --> 00:02:01.444
- He didn't build it as a monument to himself,
- 00:02:01.444 --> 00:02:04.247
- But it was a movement for future generations.
- 00:02:04.247 --> 00:02:06.449
- He rallied young people across this nation to stand up
- 00:02:06.449 --> 00:02:09.252
- And to think critically,
- 00:02:09.252 --> 00:02:10.220
- And to push back against the lies
- 00:02:10.220 --> 00:02:12.388
- And the propaganda
- 00:02:12.388 --> 00:02:13.590
- That saturate our schools and our media and our politics.
- 00:02:13.590 --> 00:02:16.826
- Charlie knew that if we didn't fight, we were going to lose.
- 00:02:16.826 --> 00:02:20.363
- And he wasn't willing to lose.
- 00:02:20.363 --> 00:02:22.665
- And i believe that he's calling all of you, all of us
- 00:02:22.665 --> 00:02:25.969
- To carry a torch.
- 00:02:26.402 --> 00:02:27.170
- Now, i believe that
- 00:02:27.170 --> 00:02:28.338
- Charlie's blood, quite honestly,
- 00:02:28.338 --> 00:02:29.772
- Is going to call from the ground.
- 00:02:29.772 --> 00:02:31.708
- The martyrdom is going to live for generations to come.
- 00:02:31.708 --> 00:02:35.678
- And the truth is, my friends,
- 00:02:36.312 --> 00:02:37.513
- To honor charlie kirk is not simply to mourn him.
- 00:02:37.513 --> 00:02:40.183
- Although we do.
- 00:02:40.183 --> 00:02:41.517
- To honor charlie is to pick up the torch
- 00:02:41.517 --> 00:02:43.353
- He carried and keep walking forward.
- 00:02:43.353 --> 00:02:45.388
- That's what he want us to do.
- 00:02:45.388 --> 00:02:47.557
- He want us to do it in the name of christ,
- 00:02:47.557 --> 00:02:49.459
- The the, the lord that he served.
- 00:02:49.459 --> 00:02:51.828
- And i know that i've often told my audiences in recent days
- 00:02:51.828 --> 00:02:55.164
- That that's what charlie
- 00:02:55.698 --> 00:02:56.566
- Would want you to remember about him.
- 00:02:56.566 --> 00:02:57.867
- Is that, first and
- 00:02:57.867 --> 00:02:59.035
- Foremost, that his life meant something for eternity
- 00:02:59.035 --> 00:03:02.138
- Because of his relationship with jesus.
- 00:03:02.138 --> 00:03:03.740
- But his life also teaches us
- 00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:04.907
- That one voice can spark a movement,
- 00:03:04.907 --> 00:03:06.976
- That one young man from the suburbs of chicago
- 00:03:06.976 --> 00:03:09.912
- Could take in,
- 00:03:09.912 --> 00:03:10.980
- Take on entrenched powers and global ideologies
- 00:03:10.980 --> 00:03:13.983
- And cultural corruption, that he could make a difference.
- 00:03:13.983 --> 00:03:16.986
- And here's the thing.
- 00:03:16.986 --> 00:03:17.887
- If he could do it, so can you. and i.
- 00:03:17.887 --> 00:03:20.189
- That's the tribute.
- 00:03:20.657 --> 00:03:21.791
- It's not just the tears.
- 00:03:21.791 --> 00:03:23.059
- It's not just the words.
- 00:03:23.059 --> 00:03:24.160
- It's not just the grief, but instead, what charlie
- 00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:26.929
- Would want you to have is action and courage and resolve.
- 00:03:26.929 --> 00:03:30.533
- You know, charlie used to say something
- 00:03:30.533 --> 00:03:32.001
- That always stuck with me, and that is courage is contagious.
- 00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:34.637
- It is actually communicable trait.
- 00:03:34.637 --> 00:03:37.273
- And i think he was right.
- 00:03:37.273 --> 00:03:38.941
- He was always courageous. and you could see that.
- 00:03:38.941 --> 00:03:40.677
- You could feel it.
- 00:03:40.677 --> 00:03:41.811
- When he spoke, people sat up a little bit straighter.
- 00:03:41.811 --> 00:03:43.146
- They paid attention to a generation.
- 00:03:43.146 --> 00:03:46.416
- The world paid attention.
- 00:03:46.416 --> 00:03:48.284
- Charlie would remind us that truth still matters,
- 00:03:48.284 --> 00:03:50.787
- That faith is still stronger than fear, that freedom
- 00:03:50.787 --> 00:03:54.123
- Is still worth defending.
- 00:03:54.123 --> 00:03:56.993
- So yes, today we grieve.
- 00:03:57.527 --> 00:03:59.128
- Yes, today we feel the weight of loss.
- 00:03:59.128 --> 00:04:01.664
- But tomorrow and the next day
- 00:04:01.664 --> 00:04:03.132
- And the next we're going to fight on.
- 00:04:03.132 --> 00:04:04.901
- We're going to stand up. we're going to keep speaking.
- 00:04:04.901 --> 00:04:06.869
- We're going to keep building
- 00:04:06.869 --> 00:04:07.904
- Because the enemies of truth, they don't rest.
- 00:04:07.904 --> 00:04:10.740
- And so neither can we.
- 00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:11.974
- The enemies of freedom will not stop, and neither will we,
- 00:04:11.974 --> 00:04:15.478
- The enemies of god's order and the design that he created.
- 00:04:15.478 --> 00:04:19.082
- They may rage and they plot, but they will not prevail.
- 00:04:19.082 --> 00:04:22.452
- And if
- 00:04:22.452 --> 00:04:23.553
- And if we
- 00:04:23.853 --> 00:04:24.921
- Continue to carry the torch, they cannot prevail.
- 00:04:24.921 --> 00:04:27.323
- Not if we refuse to be silent,
- 00:04:27.924 --> 00:04:29.892
- Not if we take charlie's example
- 00:04:29.892 --> 00:04:31.294
- And turn it into our marching orders.
- 00:04:31.294 --> 00:04:33.062
- You know, i was thinking back about a moment
- 00:04:33.062 --> 00:04:35.465
- That i had with charlie
- 00:04:35.465 --> 00:04:36.632
- A number of years ago, and it stuck with me throughout
- 00:04:36.632 --> 00:04:40.203
- The years that i've known him.
- 00:04:40.803 --> 00:04:41.771
- It says everything about who he was.
- 00:04:41.771 --> 00:04:43.106
- We were
- 00:04:43.106 --> 00:04:44.273
- Speaking at an event together there in houston, texas,
- 00:04:44.273 --> 00:04:46.809
- And charlie was back in the green room
- 00:04:46.809 --> 00:04:48.811
- Before the event started.
- 00:04:48.811 --> 00:04:50.380
- And now by that point,
- 00:04:50.380 --> 00:04:52.014
- Charlie was already a pretty recognizable figure.
- 00:04:52.014 --> 00:04:54.183
- His name carried a lot of weight.
- 00:04:54.183 --> 00:04:55.418
- His voice was being heard across america.
- 00:04:55.418 --> 00:04:57.353
- His influence was rising like a wave.
- 00:04:57.353 --> 00:05:00.256
- But when he saw me walk in the door, when he saw me
- 00:05:00.256 --> 00:05:02.959
- Come in the room, he didn't lean back and sort of
- 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:04.627
- Wait for me to come to him.
- 00:05:04.627 --> 00:05:05.661
- Like a lot of people would do.
- 00:05:05.661 --> 00:05:07.463
- But instead, charlie jumped up from his seat
- 00:05:07.463 --> 00:05:09.198
- Like an old friend, and he saw me of the
- 00:05:09.198 --> 00:05:11.567
- Like somebody had missed, and he ran across the room
- 00:05:11.567 --> 00:05:14.070
- With just an eager lean in his in his posture,
- 00:05:14.070 --> 00:05:17.440
- That big grin, and he stuck out his hand
- 00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:19.041
- And he said, i'm charlie kirk.
- 00:05:19.041 --> 00:05:20.243
- You know, i've been on your show before.
- 00:05:20.243 --> 00:05:22.745
- I want you to think about that.
- 00:05:22.745 --> 00:05:23.846
- He didn't he didn't lead with his status
- 00:05:23.846 --> 00:05:25.748
- Or his reach or his reputation.
- 00:05:25.748 --> 00:05:27.216
- He didn't assume that everyone was going to know who
- 00:05:27.216 --> 00:05:29.085
- He was, though by the end, most
- 00:05:29.085 --> 00:05:30.653
- Most of america certainly did.
- 00:05:30.653 --> 00:05:32.655
- Instead, he introduced himself
- 00:05:32.655 --> 00:05:34.390
- As if i were the important one, as if he needed to remind me
- 00:05:34.390 --> 00:05:37.627
- Where our paths had crossed.
- 00:05:37.627 --> 00:05:38.795
- That that to me, that's charlie
- 00:05:38.795 --> 00:05:40.963
- Humble, even in the middle of his fame,
- 00:05:40.963 --> 00:05:42.732
- Grounded even in the spotlight.
- 00:05:42.732 --> 00:05:44.767
- And as it got hotter, i think he got even more humble.
- 00:05:44.767 --> 00:05:48.304
- And i think that in that small gesture,
- 00:05:48.304 --> 00:05:50.673
- In that quick moment of humility,
- 00:05:50.673 --> 00:05:52.341
- You could see the core of the man that charlie was
- 00:05:52.341 --> 00:05:55.111
- And what he was becoming.
- 00:05:55.111 --> 00:05:56.312
- Charlie never forgot that he was just a servant of truth,
- 00:05:56.312 --> 00:05:59.415
- That his mission was bigger than his name,
- 00:05:59.415 --> 00:06:01.350
- That people mattered more than platform.
- 00:06:01.350 --> 00:06:03.686
- He knew popularity would come and go,
- 00:06:03.686 --> 00:06:05.521
- But integrity and kindness and humility
- 00:06:05.521 --> 00:06:08.291
- Was going to speak louder and last longer.
- 00:06:08.291 --> 00:06:11.427
- I will never forget that introduction,
- 00:06:11.427 --> 00:06:13.863
- And not because i needed to be reminded of who charlie was,
- 00:06:13.863 --> 00:06:17.099
- But because it reminded me
- 00:06:17.099 --> 00:06:18.434
- Of what kind of man he chose to be.
- 00:06:18.434 --> 00:06:21.137
- And i think he's implemented that in the lives of many,
- 00:06:21.137 --> 00:06:23.739
- Many others in the days since and long before.
- 00:06:23.739 --> 00:06:27.310
- The history books write about his impact
- 00:06:27.310 --> 00:06:29.579
- And the history books.
- 00:06:29.579 --> 00:06:30.580
- Trust me, my friends, they will write about
- 00:06:30.580 --> 00:06:32.482
- The impact of charlie kirk
- 00:06:32.482 --> 00:06:34.584
- Before the world
- 00:06:34.984 --> 00:06:35.885
- Debates his words and his legacy.
- 00:06:35.885 --> 00:06:38.721
- I'm always going to remember that handshake,
- 00:06:38.721 --> 00:06:40.423
- And i'll remember the humility,
- 00:06:40.423 --> 00:06:41.691
- And i'm going to remember
- 00:06:41.691 --> 00:06:42.325
- The friend who,
- 00:06:42.325 --> 00:06:43.593
- Even when the world already knew his name, took the time
- 00:06:43.593 --> 00:06:45.928
- To simply say to me, charlie kirk,
- 00:06:45.928 --> 00:06:48.664
- Folks, that's the kind of character america needs.
- 00:06:49.699 --> 00:06:51.701
- That's the kind of leader charlie was,
- 00:06:51.701 --> 00:06:53.469
- And that's the kind of memory

- Tell me about,
- 00:11:00.050 --> 00:11:01.451

- And if there was one thing that was immediately
- 00:11:28.378 --> 00:11:30.380
- Clear about charlie, from whether you spent
- 00:11:30.380 --> 00:11:33.250
- Five seconds with him or five days with him
- 00:11:33.250 --> 00:11:37.120
- Or five years with him, was that he was a genuine guy.
- 00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.858
- He came from a place of conviction.
- 00:11:41.858 --> 00:11:44.161
- He, was very, very convicted about his faith,
- 00:11:44.161 --> 00:11:47.664
- And he was very convicted about changing the country and,
- 00:11:47.664 --> 00:11:51.802

- I was always inspired every time i was around him.
- 00:12:07.217 --> 00:12:09.920
- You know, whether it be on his show
- 00:12:09.920 --> 00:12:12.389
- Or my show, it just it was a true joy
- 00:12:12.389 --> 00:12:15.258
- Getting to, to hear charlie,
- 00:12:15.258 --> 00:12:17.527
- Because you knew that it was coming from the heart,
- 00:12:17.527 --> 00:12:19.429
- And you knew that he really felt it, and he felt it deeply.
- 00:12:19.429 --> 00:12:22.032
- And he lived that
- 00:12:22.032 --> 00:12:22.899
- Conviction out until a murderer decided
- 00:12:22.899 --> 00:12:26.570
- That, he could no longer live that out.
- 00:12:26.570 --> 00:12:29.306
- You know, charlie was interesting.
- 00:12:29.306 --> 00:12:31.508
- He was. he was a serious guy. he was a fun guy.
- 00:12:31.508 --> 00:12:33.510
- But he was a serious guy.
- 00:12:33.510 --> 00:12:34.711
- And i remember when i wrote my book back in 2020, am i crazy?
- 00:12:34.711 --> 00:12:39.082
- The answer to that is yes.
- 00:12:39.082 --> 00:12:40.684
- And i reached out to chuck, reached out to charlie,
- 00:12:40.684 --> 00:12:43.420
- And i said, would you would you endorse this book?
- 00:12:43.420 --> 00:12:45.689

- 00:12:45.689 --> 00:12:49.159
- Have that?
- 00:12:49.459 --> 00:12:50.327

- 00:12:50.327 --> 00:12:52.028
- He wholeheartedly endorsed the book,
- 00:12:52.028 --> 00:12:53.830
- And i was very grateful and thankful for him to do that.
- 00:12:53.830 --> 00:12:56.066
- He was just that kind of guy.
- 00:12:56.066 --> 00:12:57.601
- Sarah, you, are very familiar to a lot of people,
- 00:12:57.601 --> 00:13:02.172
- Whether they realize it or not, because a lot of the,
- 00:13:02.172 --> 00:13:04.674
- The footage that's been captured over the years,
- 00:13:04.674 --> 00:13:07.177
- Whether it's drag queen story hours
- 00:13:07.177 --> 00:13:08.879
- Or the events where children have been exposed to,
- 00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:12.682
- Living pornography in these events, you've been
- 00:13:12.682 --> 00:13:15.652
- The person who's infiltrated a lot of those events.
- 00:13:15.652 --> 00:13:17.654
- You've captured it.
- 00:13:17.654 --> 00:13:18.889
- You've literally put your life on the line quite extensively
- 00:13:18.889 --> 00:13:21.625
- By disrupting a lot of things.
- 00:13:21.625 --> 00:13:23.059
- More recently, you disrupted a jasmine crockett,
- 00:13:23.059 --> 00:13:27.163
- Speech there in dallas, texas.
- 00:13:27.163 --> 00:13:29.733
- And, you're a bold person.
- 00:13:29.733 --> 00:13:31.801
- I'll put it that way.
- 00:13:31.801 --> 00:13:32.669
- I've often said you
- 00:13:32.669 --> 00:13:33.870
- Not only are bold, but you have a grace about you
- 00:13:33.870 --> 00:13:36.640
- That can get away with doing certain things
- 00:13:36.640 --> 00:13:38.174
- That i would probably go to jail for.
- 00:13:38.174 --> 00:13:40.176
- You you got kicked out of a
- 00:13:40.777 --> 00:13:42.512
- Beta o'rourke, event which wound up in a lawsuit.
- 00:13:42.512 --> 00:13:46.182
- All these crazy things
- 00:13:46.182 --> 00:13:47.484
- I know in this industry, we try to do a lot of things
- 00:13:47.484 --> 00:13:49.886
- To become not only,
- 00:13:49.886 --> 00:13:51.254
- You know, keep a relevance or punch through the smoke.
- 00:13:51.254 --> 00:13:53.456
- Charlie never did that.
- 00:13:53.456 --> 00:13:54.658
- Charlie did it in
- 00:13:54.658 --> 00:13:55.659
- Such a way that it was, it was a a dialectic.
- 00:13:55.659 --> 00:13:59.362
- It wasn't involved debate and discussion.
- 00:13:59.362 --> 00:14:01.998
- Did watching him over the years and those that he influenced
- 00:14:01.998 --> 00:14:05.835
- Because let's face it,
- 00:14:05.835 --> 00:14:06.970
- In a,
- 00:14:06.970 --> 00:14:08.071
- In a young life, at 31 years, he influenced a lot of
- 00:14:08.071 --> 00:14:10.407
- Us, right.
- 00:14:10.407 --> 00:14:11.474
- He way beyond his years.
- 00:14:11.474 --> 00:14:14.377
- Was that an influence to you to say,
- 00:14:14.377 --> 00:14:16.046
- You know, i'm going to have that boldness
- 00:14:16.046 --> 00:14:17.380
- To kind of step out in and do these things and quite
- 00:14:17.380 --> 00:14:20.750
- Literally risk a lot in order to do that 100%.
- 00:14:20.750 --> 00:14:23.987
- Absolutely.
- 00:14:23.987 --> 00:14:24.854
- I mean, i, i started in this space.
- 00:14:24.854 --> 00:14:27.223
- One of the first things that i did
- 00:14:27.223 --> 00:14:28.792
- Was become a turning point usa ambassador.
- 00:14:28.792 --> 00:14:31.728
- And, you know, i followed everything that charlie did.
- 00:14:31.728 --> 00:14:34.264
- And i loved what he stood for.
- 00:14:34.264 --> 00:14:35.565
- And i loved his boldness and his conviction.
- 00:14:35.565 --> 00:14:37.634
- And i knew one thing was for certain
- 00:14:37.634 --> 00:14:39.202
- He couldn't do it alone.
- 00:14:39.202 --> 00:14:40.704
- And so that was the thing, was that there were all of us.
- 00:14:40.704 --> 00:14:43.139
- I mean, there were so many ambassadors
- 00:14:43.139 --> 00:14:44.674
- And so many people that turning point worked with
- 00:14:44.674 --> 00:14:46.443
- And so many high schoolers, college students,
- 00:14:46.443 --> 00:14:49.112
- I mean, you name it, there were just so many people,
- 00:14:49.112 --> 00:14:51.348
- Including myself, who were just influenced
- 00:14:51.348 --> 00:14:53.283
- By his boldness and his courage and his conviction.
- 00:14:53.283 --> 00:14:56.619
- And, you know, it's like you, you listen to this
- 00:14:56.619 --> 00:15:00.223
- And then you have children
- 00:15:00.223 --> 00:15:01.257
- And you have skin in the game and you're like,
- 00:15:01.257 --> 00:15:02.859
- We've got to all band together and save the country.
- 00:15:02.859 --> 00:15:05.862
- And, charlie was 100% an inspiration
- 00:15:05.862 --> 00:15:09.165
- For for what i do now, for what i do every single day
- 00:15:09.165 --> 00:15:12.168
- And for the, you know, the boldness
- 00:15:12.168 --> 00:15:14.671
- That i try to show and, going into the lion's den
- 00:15:14.671 --> 00:15:18.408
- And, getting this footage and exposing it
- 00:15:18.408 --> 00:15:20.910
- And putting it out to the masses.
- 00:15:20.910 --> 00:15:22.379
- I mean, it's it's all been, you know,
- 00:15:22.379 --> 00:15:24.581
- Because of people like charlie and charlie himself
- 00:15:24.581 --> 00:15:27.650
- That we all do this right?

- Who have learned to be bold and stand up in the face of a,
- 00:15:49.939 --> 00:15:53.243
- You know, college
- 00:15:53.243 --> 00:15:54.377
- Professor or a school teacher or whoever it may be.

- They're their peers
- 00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:58.715
- Who are talking about,
- 00:15:58.715 --> 00:16:00.183
- You know, disgusting ideas that can tear this country down.
- 00:16:00.183 --> 00:16:03.053
- I mean, we are we have an entire generation
- 00:16:03.053 --> 00:16:05.522
- Of proud, patriotic americans because of charlie kirk.

- And it's just going to continue to, to, to carry on.
- 00:16:11.227 --> 00:16:13.963
- I mean, charlie kirk was a true patriot,
- 00:16:13.963 --> 00:16:16.199
- And as they called him, a happy warrior, he was exactly that.
- 00:16:16.199 --> 00:16:19.269
- And that's what he has created in the younger generation.
- 00:16:19.269 --> 00:16:21.838

- Thinking about social security.
- 00:16:58.441 --> 00:17:00.376
- Thinking back.
- 00:17:00.376 --> 00:17:01.778
- The amac foundation takes the confusion
- 00:17:01.778 --> 00:17:03.880
- And stress out of understanding.
- 00:17:03.880 --> 00:17:05.448

- Hey, guys.
- 00:18:38.009 --> 00:18:38.910
- Welcome back to the charlie kirk show.
- 00:18:38.910 --> 00:18:39.945
- My name is chad prather, filling in for charlie.
- 00:18:39.945 --> 00:18:41.646
- You know what, charlie
- 00:18:41.646 --> 00:18:43.381
- I think would have wanted me to do is how he knew me.
- 00:18:43.381 --> 00:18:45.183
- He'd want me to put this cowboy hat back on.
- 00:18:45.183 --> 00:18:47.552
- I've been talking under this hat
- 00:18:47.552 --> 00:18:48.787
- For a lot of years, and this is,
- 00:18:48.787 --> 00:18:51.690
- Charlie always kind of gave me a hard time about that.
- 00:18:51.690 --> 00:18:53.325
- He's. it looks good on you. you need.
- 00:18:53.325 --> 00:18:54.559
- I said, charlie, you need to get a hat.
- 00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:56.027
- You need to get a cowboy hat, you know, and,
- 00:18:56.027 --> 00:18:59.564
- And, i'll tell you, man, he was a blessing in my life.
- 00:18:59.564 --> 00:19:03.268
- But, you know, as i've been considering the things that
- 00:19:03.268 --> 00:19:05.837
- That has happened
- 00:19:05.837 --> 00:19:06.938
- And transpired in recent days, the grief, the tragedy,
- 00:19:06.938 --> 00:19:10.242
- You know, something i've noticed
- 00:19:10.242 --> 00:19:11.476
- Is there's people out there who can't defend their ideas.
- 00:19:11.476 --> 00:19:15.080
- They can't do it with reason.
- 00:19:15.080 --> 00:19:16.615
- They can't do it,
- 00:19:16.615 --> 00:19:17.849
- And then definitely can't stay on reason for long.
- 00:19:17.849 --> 00:19:21.219
- They kind of start with a smirk and a condescending smile,
- 00:19:21.219 --> 00:19:24.322
- And then they slot in a name calling and then on the labels.
- 00:19:24.322 --> 00:19:27.359
- And when that still doesn't
- 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:28.593
- Silence you,
- 00:19:28.593 --> 00:19:29.461
- They're going to start swinging fists
- 00:19:29.461 --> 00:19:30.762
- Or they're going to burn the buildings.
- 00:19:30.762 --> 00:19:32.597
- See, that's the ladder
- 00:19:32.597 --> 00:19:34.399
- Of intellectual de-escalation to bankruptcy.
- 00:19:34.399 --> 00:19:38.270
- See the rage you see on the streets
- 00:19:38.270 --> 00:19:39.904
- Or in the comment section.
- 00:19:39.904 --> 00:19:41.539
- It's not confidence.
- 00:19:41.539 --> 00:19:43.108
- They don't have any. it's panic.
- 00:19:43.108 --> 00:19:45.243
- The reason they came after charlie
- 00:19:45.243 --> 00:19:47.912
- Is because he made them panic.
- 00:19:47.912 --> 00:19:49.514
- He made a difference and they were afraid of that.
- 00:19:49.514 --> 00:19:52.350
- If you really believed your foundation was unshakable,
- 00:19:52.350 --> 00:19:55.787
- You would not fear the question from the back row.
- 00:19:55.787 --> 00:19:58.323
- Rage is the confession that your worldview
- 00:19:58.323 --> 00:20:00.525
- Can't pass an open book test.
- 00:20:00.525 --> 00:20:02.160
- So what do we do? what do we do?
- 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:04.963
- What would charlie have us do?
- 00:20:05.563 --> 00:20:06.631
- I think he'd have us refuse the label.
- 00:20:06.631 --> 00:20:08.767
- We keep our heads.
- 00:20:08.767 --> 00:20:09.834
- We don't return insult for insult.
- 00:20:09.834 --> 00:20:12.003
- We speak calmly, clearly, consistently.
- 00:20:12.003 --> 00:20:14.973
- Truth doesn't need a mob.
- 00:20:15.540 --> 00:20:16.741
- It just needs a mouth.
- 00:20:16.741 --> 00:20:17.842
- And when they call your names, keep your name clean.
- 00:20:17.842 --> 00:20:20.512
- And when they throw stones, i want you to stay planted.
- 00:20:20.512 --> 00:20:23.014
- When they slam the door. speak from the street.
- 00:20:23.014 --> 00:20:25.550
- We don't need permission to tell the truth.
- 00:20:25.550 --> 00:20:28.420
- Violence is not speech.
- 00:20:28.420 --> 00:20:30.455
- It's a confession of defeat.
- 00:20:30.455 --> 00:20:31.823
- You know,
- 00:20:31.823 --> 00:20:32.524
- You don't get to punch somebody
- 00:20:32.524 --> 00:20:33.625
- Just because your feelings loss to their facts.
- 00:20:33.625 --> 00:20:35.827
- You don't get to burn a city
- 00:20:35.827 --> 00:20:36.961
- Because your plan couldn't balance a budget.
- 00:20:36.961 --> 00:20:39.464
- Freedom means we argue in the open.
- 00:20:39.464 --> 00:20:42.233
- That's what america was built on.
- 00:20:42.934 --> 00:20:44.235
- Without that, we all, all we have left
- 00:20:44.235 --> 00:20:46.371
- Is theater in mobs.
- 00:20:46.371 --> 00:20:48.640
- But folks, here's the hope.
- 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:50.475
- History
- 00:20:50.709 --> 00:20:51.776
- Resides with the debater, not with the brawler.
- 00:20:51.776 --> 00:20:54.012
- Every empire that outlawed questions,
- 00:20:54.012 --> 00:20:56.948
- They outlaw discovery.
- 00:20:56.948 --> 00:20:58.516
- Every movement that banned dissent
- 00:20:58.516 --> 00:21:00.652
- Killed its own progress.
- 00:21:00.652 --> 00:21:01.953
- Free speech doesn't just project and protect politics,
- 00:21:01.953 --> 00:21:05.023
- It protects progress, true progress, invention, art,
- 00:21:05.023 --> 00:21:08.660
- Architecture, even your children's future.
- 00:21:08.660 --> 00:21:11.930
- So when they sneer, when they label, when they try
- 00:21:11.930 --> 00:21:13.798
- To cut out your tongue, don't quit.
- 00:21:13.798 --> 00:21:17.569
- That's your sign that you're over the target.
- 00:21:17.569 --> 00:21:19.471
- When they call your name. stay steady.
- 00:21:19.471 --> 00:21:21.039
- When they threaten you. stay brave.
- 00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:22.607
- The goal is not to win a shouting match.
- 00:21:22.607 --> 00:21:24.476
- The goal is to win a generation.
- 00:21:24.476 --> 00:21:26.378
- And that's something charlie kirk understood.
- 00:21:26.378 --> 00:21:28.446
- So remember this vow we're not going to hate.
- 00:21:28.446 --> 00:21:31.649
- It feels like maybe we should at some times.
- 00:21:31.649 --> 00:21:33.618
- I understand righteous indignation,
- 00:21:33.618 --> 00:21:35.286
- But that's very different from hate.
- 00:21:35.286 --> 00:21:37.021
- We're not going to hit first.
- 00:21:37.021 --> 00:21:38.456
- We're not going to bow to the labels.
- 00:21:38.456 --> 00:21:40.091
- We're not going to let fear script our lives.
- 00:21:40.091 --> 00:21:42.360
- We will debate.
- 00:21:42.360 --> 00:21:43.261
- We will keep up this legacy.
- 00:21:43.261 --> 00:21:44.863
- We will reason and we will persuade
- 00:21:44.863 --> 00:21:46.664
- And we will outlast
- 00:21:46.664 --> 00:21:48.199
- Because their violence does not prove our guilt.
- 00:21:48.199 --> 00:21:51.603
- It proves their loss.
- 00:21:51.603 --> 00:21:54.506
- Throughout human history, what we've realized
- 00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:57.275
- Is that the light, particularly the light of jesus christ
- 00:21:57.275 --> 00:21:59.778
- And the light of truth, it's not leaving.
- 00:21:59.778 --> 00:22:01.546
- The truth is not tired. it's not worn out.
- 00:22:01.546 --> 00:22:03.748
- Our words are not weapons, but they're
- 00:22:03.748 --> 00:22:06.017
- Stronger than theirs because they are true,
- 00:22:06.017 --> 00:22:09.053
- Because they're free, because they're alive.
- 00:22:09.053 --> 00:22:11.456
- So we choose courage over contempt.
- 00:22:11.456 --> 00:22:13.057
- We choose debate over destruction.
- 00:22:13.057 --> 00:22:14.659
- We choose to keep speaking
- 00:22:14.659 --> 00:22:16.161
- Until the labels peel off and the rage burns out.
- 00:22:16.161 --> 00:22:19.364
- That's how free people live.
- 00:22:19.964 --> 00:22:21.633
- That is how free people win.
- 00:22:21.633 --> 00:22:24.903
- And see, charlie understood that they hated him for it,
- 00:22:24.903 --> 00:22:28.006
- And they hate you for it.
- 00:22:28.006 --> 00:22:28.907
- They hate all of us because of that.
- 00:22:28.907 --> 00:22:32.510
- But dear friends, that's the testimony of history,
- 00:22:32.510 --> 00:22:34.479
- Not the revisionist books.
- 00:22:34.479 --> 00:22:36.214
- No, that's true history.
- 00:22:36.214 --> 00:22:37.282
- That's how freedom wins.
- 00:22:37.282 --> 00:22:38.416
- That's how liberty lives.
- 00:22:38.416 --> 00:22:40.285
- When we understand that, it's with our words and our critical
- 00:22:40.285 --> 00:22:43.388
- Thinking and even common sense, and the facts
- 00:22:43.388 --> 00:22:45.990
- And the truth that went out of our feelings
- 00:22:45.990 --> 00:22:47.592
- And even our vibes, folks, that's how we live free.
- 00:22:47.592 --> 00:22:50.395
- God bless you.
- 00:22:50.728 --> 00:22:51.362
- God bless this country.
- 00:22:51.362 --> 00:22:52.530
- God bless
- 00:22:52.530 --> 00:22:53.765
- The country that charlie kirk fought to keep and remember.
- 00:22:53.765 --> 00:22:57.101
- And we're going to carry that torch forward.
- 00:22:57.101 --> 00:22:59.137
- So for the charlie kirk show, my name is chad prather.
- 00:22:59.137 --> 00:23:01.873
- I would love it if you joined me on the chad
- 00:23:01.873 --> 00:23:03.408
- Prather show from time to time.
- 00:23:03.408 --> 00:23:04.909
- Grab a copy of my book.
- 00:23:04.909 --> 00:23:06.010
- I wrote it about grief, about loss, and about tragedy.
- 00:23:06.010 --> 00:23:09.047
- It's called born for meaning.
- 00:23:09.047 --> 00:23:10.515
- You can get an abortion for meaning.com.
- 00:23:10.515 --> 00:23:12.283
- I'd love for you to pick up a copy.
- 00:23:12.283 --> 00:23:13.351
- It may help you in these days of loss
- 00:23:13.351 --> 00:23:14.853
- While you're trying to figure things out.
- 00:23:14.853 --> 00:23:16.621
- Because truly, we are all born for meaning.
- 00:23:16.621 --> 00:23:19.157
- So for charlie kirk and the charlie kirk show
- 00:23:19.157 --> 00:23:21.025
- And his production team,
- 00:23:21.025 --> 00:23:22.126
- Thank you so much for letting me to sit in this seat,
- 00:23:22.126 --> 00:23:24.662
- Allowing me to sit in this seat.
- 00:23:24.662 --> 00:23:26.564
- I'm very humbled by it.
- 00:23:26.564 --> 00:23:28.032
- Again, my name is chad prather.
- 00:23:28.032 --> 00:23:30.001
- Hopefully we get an opportunity to talk to you next time.
- 00:23:30.001 --> 00:23:32.370
- Until then, may god bless you and may god bless charlie kirk.
- 00:23:32.370 --> 00:23:39.210
- The poverty is unimaginable.
- 00:23:39.811 --> 00:23:43.181
- There are people who are struggling.
- 00:23:43.181 --> 00:23:46.150
- Those who are hungry.
- 00:23:46.651 --> 00:23:48.086
- Forgotten jews.
- 00:23:48.086 --> 00:23:49.787
- Scripture says joy can come in the morning.
- 00:23:49.787 --> 00:23:52.657
- And you can be the reason.
- 00:23:52.657 --> 00:23:54.359
- Bless these hurting children of israel.
