- And today

- I'm sitting in a chair that i never wanted to sit in.
- 00:01:31.848 --> 00:01:35.685
- I'm sitting in a chair that
- 00:01:36.286 --> 00:01:39.189
- I never hoped to be in,
- 00:01:39.689 --> 00:01:41.324
- That i don't want to be in.
- 00:01:41.324 --> 00:01:44.194
- But i'm going to be here.
- 00:01:44.194 --> 00:01:47.730
- Because i know that's where charlie
- 00:01:48.531 --> 00:01:49.599
- Would want me to be today.
- 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.402
- And i'm not just here as
- 00:01:52.402 --> 00:01:55.071
- I don't know.
- 00:01:55.071 --> 00:01:58.107
- Maga posobiec or fellow conservative
- 00:01:58.107 --> 00:02:03.413
- Firebrand to the world.
- 00:02:03.413 --> 00:02:04.781
- You know, charlie kirk was a
- 00:02:04.781 --> 00:02:08.718
- Conservative firebrand hero,
- 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.155
- Cultural icon.
- 00:02:12.155 --> 00:02:15.925
- But to me, he was my friend.
- 00:02:16.526 --> 00:02:22.332
- And it's been the honor of my life
- 00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:25.368
- To be standing shoulder to shoulder with him
- 00:02:25.368 --> 00:02:29.239
- In this great fight.
- 00:02:29.706 --> 00:02:32.308
- And so it's with a very heavy
- 00:02:32.308 --> 00:02:34.043
- Heart that i sit in this chair on this show that he built
- 00:02:34.043 --> 00:02:38.081
- On the platform, that he poured his soul into,
- 00:02:38.081 --> 00:02:41.417
- Because charlie is no longer with us.
- 00:02:41.417 --> 00:02:44.287
- He was taken from us in an act of left wing
- 00:02:44.287 --> 00:02:47.991
- Political violence, of terrorism, assassinated.
- 00:02:47.991 --> 00:02:52.862
- Yet even in his final moments, charlie was doing
- 00:02:52.862 --> 00:02:56.132
- What he always did, standing tall, speaking boldly,
- 00:02:56.132 --> 00:03:00.069
- Proclaiming the truth without fear.
- 00:03:00.069 --> 00:03:04.507
- Greater love

- Hath no man than this,
- 00:03:06.509 --> 00:03:08.845
- That a man lay down
- 00:03:08.845 --> 00:03:10.580
- His life for his friends.
- 00:03:10.580 --> 00:03:13.583
- Got my good friend and charlie's

- Andrew, how are you holding up, ma'am?
- 00:03:20.990 --> 00:03:25.495
- Hey, jack.

- I mean, i'm holding up as well as you can imagine.
- 00:03:34.470 --> 00:03:37.573
- You know,
- 00:03:37.573 --> 00:03:38.007
- I was hosting
- 00:03:38.007 --> 00:03:39.075
- The show yesterday for charlie so that he could go
- 00:03:39.075 --> 00:03:41.678
- To the campus, stop and, in utah
- 00:03:41.678 --> 00:03:46.049
- And,
- 00:03:46.249 --> 00:03:49.385
- You know, you just don't, you know, you're never prepared
- 00:03:49.385 --> 00:03:51.454
- For something like this, obviously.
- 00:03:51.454 --> 00:03:52.889
- And,
- 00:03:52.889 --> 00:03:55.458
- You know, but,
- 00:03:55.458 --> 00:03:57.126
- I know he, he would want me,
- 00:03:57.727 --> 00:04:00.463
- And he would want you and all of us to to keep going.
- 00:04:00.463 --> 00:04:04.133
- I know he'd want me to do this.
- 00:04:04.133 --> 00:04:05.368
- And so,
- 00:04:05.368 --> 00:04:06.936
- We do the best we can, and,
- 00:04:06.936 --> 00:04:10.573
- And,
- 00:04:10.773 --> 00:04:12.809
- When something, big is, is happening,
- 00:04:12.809 --> 00:04:15.978

- 00:04:29.592 --> 00:04:31.761
- And that's that was charlie right.
- 00:04:31.761 --> 00:04:33.696
- Because he just wanted to gather people together.
- 00:04:33.696 --> 00:04:36.866
- And i think
- 00:04:36.866 --> 00:04:38.234
- I actually think that's that's sort of charlie's mission.
- 00:04:38.234 --> 00:04:40.670
- Or maybe it was his great skill in life that he was
- 00:04:40.670 --> 00:04:44.741
- A gatherer of people, or
- 00:04:45.274 --> 00:04:47.110
- Of course, to use the biblical phrase, a fisher of men.
- 00:04:47.110 --> 00:04:50.146
- Charlie kirk truly was a fisher of men,
- 00:04:50.947 --> 00:04:53.583
- And i actually hadn't
- 00:04:53.583 --> 00:04:54.684
- Even thought about it that way until just this minute.
- 00:04:54.684 --> 00:04:57.120
- But that's exactly what he was, is that he had that ability
- 00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.490
- To go into a into a crowd of strangers,
- 00:05:00.490 --> 00:05:03.126
- And he could he could get everyone together
- 00:05:03.126 --> 00:05:05.628
- And he could turn them into followers
- 00:05:05.628 --> 00:05:07.029
- And he could activate them, you know, politically.
- 00:05:07.029 --> 00:05:09.165
- And he could get he could motivate people.
- 00:05:09.165 --> 00:05:12.468
- And that, that that is not something that you can learn
- 00:05:12.468 --> 00:05:16.606
- That that is a talent that was given to him from god.
- 00:05:16.606 --> 00:05:20.376
- And now he's on another assignment for god.
- 00:05:21.277 --> 00:05:23.780
- And we don't know, and we can't really understand that.
- 00:05:23.780 --> 00:05:26.883
- But that's what it is.
- 00:05:26.883 --> 00:05:28.484
- That's what it is.
- 00:05:28.484 --> 00:05:29.485
- My my one pushback, jack, is that, i watched
- 00:05:29.485 --> 00:05:33.189
- Charlie kirk be terrible at a bunch of things,
- 00:05:33.189 --> 00:05:35.858
- And he learned how to be
- 00:05:36.392 --> 00:05:38.694
- He he learned how to be good at them
- 00:05:38.694 --> 00:05:41.664
- By sheer force of will.
- 00:05:41.664 --> 00:05:44.233
- He refused to not be good
- 00:05:44.233 --> 00:05:46.269
- At things that he needed to be good at.
- 00:05:46.269 --> 00:05:48.204
- And he learned a lot of that stuff.
- 00:05:48.204 --> 00:05:50.039
- Yes, he was blessed by god with this.
- 00:05:50.039 --> 00:05:51.808
- Just this engine, this motor that you couldn't hold back.
- 00:05:51.808 --> 00:05:55.812
- He was blessed by god with just,
- 00:05:55.812 --> 00:05:58.314
- A spirit that you couldn't keep down.
- 00:05:58.314 --> 00:06:01.083
- He was a happy warrior.
- 00:06:01.584 --> 00:06:03.553
- He genuinely was a happy warrior.
- 00:06:03.553 --> 00:06:06.189
- Before we go, there's something that just broke
- 00:06:06.189 --> 00:06:08.791
- Right before, we came into the segment here,
- 00:06:08.791 --> 00:06:11.561
- And i think it would be we'd be remiss to miss it
- 00:06:11.561 --> 00:06:13.830
- Regarding this situation and that, of course,
- 00:06:13.830 --> 00:06:16.632
- Everyone's looking into. i do want to
- 00:06:16.632 --> 00:06:18.434
- Cover this, though, because it is breaking news.
- 00:06:18.434 --> 00:06:20.736
- The fbi has released images of who
- 00:06:20.736 --> 00:06:24.307
- They believe is a person of interest
- 00:06:24.307 --> 00:06:27.109
- In connection with the fatal shooting of charlie kirk
- 00:06:27.109 --> 00:06:29.879
- At utah valley university.
- 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.582
- We'll cover that as we can.
- 00:06:32.582 --> 00:06:33.983
- Obviously, there's been a lot of questions
- 00:06:33.983 --> 00:06:36.052
- As going on as to what happens.
- 00:06:36.052 --> 00:06:38.087
- And i don't want to turn this
- 00:06:38.087 --> 00:06:38.888
- Into huge speculation about that.
- 00:06:38.888 --> 00:06:40.523
- I want to make this about charlie.
- 00:06:40.523 --> 00:06:41.724
- But at the same time, if there are official updates,
- 00:06:41.724 --> 00:06:44.794
- We're going to share them as we can.
- 00:06:44.794 --> 00:06:46.863
- Andrew, do you want to do you want to take us out?
- 00:06:46.863 --> 00:06:50.366
- Yeah.
- 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:51.534
- I mean, i hope they get this guy or guys,
- 00:06:51.534 --> 00:06:54.570
- If it was coordinated, if it was sophisticated
- 00:06:54.570 --> 00:06:57.206
- And well-funded at some of
- 00:06:57.206 --> 00:06:58.341
- The rumors that i'm hearing are i hope they get them all
- 00:06:58.341 --> 00:07:01.544
- From root to stem.
- 00:07:01.978 --> 00:07:03.246
- I hope they get them all.
- 00:07:03.246 --> 00:07:04.447
- And i hope
- 00:07:04.447 --> 00:07:05.648
- Righteous justice is visited upon whoever was behind this.
- 00:07:05.648 --> 00:07:08.951

- 00:09:02.198 --> 00:09:05.201
- I'm very honored that we are now joined
- 00:09:06.002 --> 00:09:08.070
- By someone who knew charlie very well.
- 00:09:08.070 --> 00:09:10.373
- It is the speaker of the house, mike johnson.
- 00:09:10.373 --> 00:09:13.275
- Mr. speaker, thank you so much for joining on this today.
- 00:09:13.275 --> 00:09:15.745
- And although
- 00:09:15.745 --> 00:09:16.946
- I just have to say for myself and i'm sure you as well.
- 00:09:16.946 --> 00:09:19.181
- I would much rather be talking to you
- 00:09:19.181 --> 00:09:20.583
- About literally any other subject.
- 00:09:20.583 --> 00:09:23.352
- Of course.
- 00:09:23.653 --> 00:09:24.820
- Jack, you're doing a great job, but
- 00:09:24.820 --> 00:09:26.188
- With an impossible assignment today.
- 00:09:26.188 --> 00:09:28.024
- I mean,
- 00:09:28.024 --> 00:09:29.625
- I should have wondered last night
- 00:09:29.625 --> 00:09:31.394
- Who would be in the chair today.
- 00:09:31.394 --> 00:09:33.095
- Because the nation needs to hear
- 00:09:33.095 --> 00:09:35.865
- What you're sharing and what we're all sharing.
- 00:09:35.865 --> 00:09:38.100
- I can tell you
- 00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:39.135
- It has changed the atmosphere of capitol hill.
- 00:09:39.135 --> 00:09:41.404
- It began immediately after this event.
- 00:09:41.404 --> 00:09:43.773
- I was i was in a high level meeting,
- 00:09:43.773 --> 00:09:46.676
- And my chief of staff burst in the door
- 00:09:46.676 --> 00:09:48.544
- And handed me a card and said, charlie kirk has been shot.
- 00:09:48.544 --> 00:09:51.113
- And i stopped.
- 00:09:51.113 --> 00:09:52.748
- And i mean, we had, you know, these are like heads of state.
- 00:09:52.748 --> 00:09:55.451
- And we all just paused and i told them what was on the card.
- 00:09:55.451 --> 00:09:59.021
- And it's it still seems unbelievable to me.
- 00:09:59.021 --> 00:10:01.791
- I mean, we're all kind of in shock here.
- 00:10:01.791 --> 00:10:03.592
- Charlie was a singular voice, as you know.
- 00:10:03.592 --> 00:10:07.730
- I mean, this show is about him. it's a tribute to him.
- 00:10:07.730 --> 00:10:09.899
- He deserves it.
- 00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:10.800
- He deserves so much more because
- 00:10:10.800 --> 00:10:14.270
- There are few people who had
- 00:10:14.870 --> 00:10:16.272
- Such an effect on the country and on his generation.
- 00:10:16.272 --> 00:10:20.042
- Did all the, you know, media shows last night i was on
- 00:10:20.042 --> 00:10:24.080
- I think i'm cnn.
- 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:25.414
- I said, you know, he
- 00:10:25.414 --> 00:10:26.782
- We talk a lot about the free marketplace of ideas.
- 00:10:26.782 --> 00:10:29.251
- And i think it is undeniable.
- 00:10:29.251 --> 00:10:31.153
- I don't think anyone can argue charlie kirk
- 00:10:31.153 --> 00:10:33.489
- Contributed
- 00:10:33.489 --> 00:10:34.657
- More productive content, the free marketplace of ideas
- 00:10:34.657 --> 00:10:37.760
- Than anyone in his generation, and arguably
- 00:10:37.760 --> 00:10:40.796
- In several generations.
- 00:10:40.796 --> 00:10:41.964
- I mean, he just
- 00:10:41.964 --> 00:10:42.998
- Was that kind of figure, and he's irreplaceable.
- 00:10:42.998 --> 00:10:45.801
- But i'm comforted to know, jack, that
- 00:10:46.602 --> 00:10:48.437
- His his legacy will continue,
- 00:10:48.437 --> 00:10:50.539
- Because what he did and what he started will go on.
- 00:10:50.539 --> 00:10:53.876
- And i hope it inspires
- 00:10:53.876 --> 00:10:55.111
- In the hearts of everybody who followed it and loved him
- 00:10:55.111 --> 00:10:57.213
- And believed in him and prayed for him.
- 00:10:57.213 --> 00:10:59.381
- That same spirit that charlie carried,
- 00:10:59.381 --> 00:11:01.784
- You know, to not give in, to stand for freedom,
- 00:11:01.784 --> 00:11:04.420
- Stand for the truth
- 00:11:04.420 --> 00:11:05.821
- And love the people on the other side of the argument.
- 00:11:05.821 --> 00:11:08.958
- And that's what he represented.
- 00:11:08.958 --> 00:11:10.926
- You know, and i was saying this
- 00:11:11.560 --> 00:11:13.596
- We were on last night, and,
- 00:11:13.596 --> 00:11:15.297
- You know, when you would go
- 00:11:15.297 --> 00:11:16.265
- To these events with charlie, he would act.
- 00:11:16.265 --> 00:11:17.833
- He would actually say, if you disagree with me,
- 00:11:17.833 --> 00:11:21.036
- Come to the front of the line, i don't want you to.
- 00:11:21.036 --> 00:11:23.105
- I don't want you to ride in the back of the bus,
- 00:11:23.105 --> 00:11:24.573
- Come to the very front of the line, let's have it out.
- 00:11:24.573 --> 00:11:26.876
- Let's talk.
- 00:11:26.876 --> 00:11:27.977
- And he had this ability to kind of get
- 00:11:27.977 --> 00:11:31.614
- Past the argument, the the politics of it
- 00:11:31.614 --> 00:11:34.316
- And see if there was this was this was his move or his skill.
- 00:11:34.316 --> 00:11:37.620
- He would
- 00:11:37.620 --> 00:11:38.721
- He would try to connect with the person, find out what
- 00:11:38.721 --> 00:11:41.557
- Made them tick, find out who they were at their core,
- 00:11:41.557 --> 00:11:44.994
- And then start there.
- 00:11:44.994 --> 00:11:46.328
- And you've never seen anyone do it like that before.
- 00:11:46.328 --> 00:11:49.231
- Yeah, he was so talented because he had that that gift.
- 00:11:49.231 --> 00:11:52.768
- It's a gift from from god.
- 00:11:52.768 --> 00:11:54.670
- A gift from the lord to be able to go
- 00:11:54.670 --> 00:11:56.505
- To the heart of the matter and the heart of the person,
- 00:11:56.505 --> 00:11:58.941
- Because he. what charlie was motivated by.
- 00:11:58.941 --> 00:12:01.143
- You and i both know i knew him so well,
- 00:12:01.143 --> 00:12:02.978
- And he was a man of deep faith, as i am.
- 00:12:02.978 --> 00:12:05.047
- And we talked about this
- 00:12:05.047 --> 00:12:06.248
- A lot, that the objective is not just win the argument,
- 00:12:06.248 --> 00:12:09.852
- The objective is to move the heart right.
- 00:12:09.852 --> 00:12:12.354
- And what charlie was about was trying to advance
- 00:12:12.354 --> 00:12:15.224
- The permanent things.
- 00:12:15.224 --> 00:12:16.192
- He was a master in the temporal things, right?
- 00:12:16.192 --> 00:12:18.828
- He could he could argue any issue better
- 00:12:18.828 --> 00:12:21.430
- Than anybody, better than most people
- 00:12:21.430 --> 00:12:22.731
- On capitol hill or could ever hope to.
- 00:12:22.731 --> 00:12:25.034
- And he, he could talk about public policy
- 00:12:25.034 --> 00:12:27.236
- Or issues that were pending.
- 00:12:27.236 --> 00:12:28.470
- He, he was a master of his, of his, of his science in that
- 00:12:28.470 --> 00:12:32.208
- Regard, political science and all of that.
- 00:12:32.208 --> 00:12:34.443
- But really, what it was really about
- 00:12:34.443 --> 00:12:37.346
- Was not winning
- 00:12:37.346 --> 00:12:38.380
- The temporal argument or that particular issue.
- 00:12:38.380 --> 00:12:40.449
- It was about the permanent things, the eternal things.
- 00:12:40.449 --> 00:12:43.052
- The scripture says, the apostle paul said,
- 00:12:43.052 --> 00:12:45.054
- We don't focus on the temporal, we focus on the eternal.
- 00:12:45.054 --> 00:12:47.089
- And that's what charlie was about,
- 00:12:47.089 --> 00:12:48.791
- Because he was trying to be an ambassador
- 00:12:48.791 --> 00:12:50.926
- For the king of kings.
- 00:12:50.926 --> 00:12:52.061
- He was trying to be an ambassador
- 00:12:52.061 --> 00:12:53.095
- For his savior, jesus, and he modeled that.
- 00:12:53.095 --> 00:12:56.498
- And so, you know what i love about charlie?
- 00:12:56.498 --> 00:12:58.267
- And i said this
- 00:12:58.267 --> 00:12:59.301
- To a big gaggle of reporters here this morning
- 00:12:59.301 --> 00:13:00.803
- Because they're following me around.
- 00:13:00.803 --> 00:13:01.871
- They want me to just give comment at every turn
- 00:13:01.871 --> 00:13:04.173
- About this.
- 00:13:04.173 --> 00:13:05.040
- And because they know
- 00:13:05.040 --> 00:13:06.242
- I knew him well and and loved him.
- 00:13:06.242 --> 00:13:07.743
- And we, you know, it's moved us so much.
- 00:13:07.743 --> 00:13:09.812
- But this is what i said about charlie,
- 00:13:09.812 --> 00:13:11.213
- As i said, you know, the thing about it was
- 00:13:11.213 --> 00:13:13.115
- He was the sharpest wit.
- 00:13:13.115 --> 00:13:15.017
- He could argue and win
- 00:13:15.017 --> 00:13:16.085
- Any debate, but he never held it personally
- 00:13:16.085 --> 00:13:19.021
- Against a
- 00:13:19.021 --> 00:13:19.655
- Person on the other side,
- 00:13:19.655 --> 00:13:20.856
- No matter how far to the other end of the spectrum they were.
- 00:13:20.856 --> 00:13:23.959
- In fact, the further they were, the more compassionate
- 00:13:23.959 --> 00:13:26.028
- For their heart because he he
- 00:13:26.028 --> 00:13:27.663
- He believed that he was ultimately trying
- 00:13:27.663 --> 00:13:29.331
- To lead people to the truth, that we know the eternal truth.
- 00:13:29.331 --> 00:13:31.901
- Right.
- 00:13:31.901 --> 00:13:33.068
- And so what christ taught us is that it says in romans
- 00:13:33.068 --> 00:13:35.738
- 12 that you stand strong.
- 00:13:35.738 --> 00:13:37.773
- You, you,
- 00:13:37.773 --> 00:13:38.874
- You be courageous and bold, and you, you stand firm
- 00:13:38.874 --> 00:13:41.443
- And you act like men.
- 00:13:41.944 --> 00:13:42.978
- It says, was charlie was a man's man.
- 00:13:42.978 --> 00:13:45.347
- But do that.
- 00:13:45.347 --> 00:13:46.782
- Let all that you do be done in love.
- 00:13:46.782 --> 00:13:48.918
- That's what scripture says.
- 00:13:48.918 --> 00:13:50.352
- And that's what charlie was about.
- 00:13:50.352 --> 00:13:51.854
- And he was motivated by his love for his fellow man.
- 00:13:51.854 --> 00:13:54.223
- They didn't hate anybody.
- 00:13:54.223 --> 00:13:55.291
- He was trying to win them over the argument,
- 00:13:55.291 --> 00:13:56.725
- Because he knew that would be better for them
- 00:13:56.725 --> 00:13:58.394
- In the long run.
- 00:13:58.394 --> 00:13:59.461
- And that's what we appreciated about him so much.
- 00:13:59.461 --> 00:14:02.831
- And we opened the show with that.
- 00:14:03.532 --> 00:14:04.833
- And i said, greater love hath no man than this.
- 00:14:04.833 --> 00:14:08.003
- He gives himself, give his life for his friends.
- 00:14:08.003 --> 00:14:10.072
- And i'm sure, speaker, i'm
- 00:14:10.072 --> 00:14:11.640
- Sure you're on charlie's list as well,
- 00:14:11.640 --> 00:14:13.042
- Because you could always tell what charlie.
- 00:14:13.042 --> 00:14:14.877
- What what charlie was focusing on in the bible.
- 00:14:14.877 --> 00:14:17.179
- Because he would
- 00:14:17.179 --> 00:14:18.047
- He would pull a quote every morning
- 00:14:18.047 --> 00:14:19.748
- And he would just text it
- 00:14:19.748 --> 00:14:20.849
- To his whole list of people individually as,
- 00:14:20.849 --> 00:14:23.752
- How are you doing this? charlie?
- 00:14:23.752 --> 00:14:25.154
- And i would see him doing it sometimes if we were together.
- 00:14:25.154 --> 00:14:27.723
- And he and it wasn't just, you know, some
- 00:14:27.723 --> 00:14:30.726
- You know, ephemeral thing where he's, you know,
- 00:14:30.726 --> 00:14:32.261
- Pulling it from one of those verses of the day or,
- 00:14:32.261 --> 00:14:35.097
- You know, different things.
- 00:14:35.097 --> 00:14:35.931
- And it was fine.
- 00:14:35.931 --> 00:14:36.699
- But no, this was deep study.
- 00:14:36.699 --> 00:14:39.835
- And he pulled those verses for a specific reason.
- 00:14:39.835 --> 00:14:42.871
- And in a strange way,
- 00:14:42.871 --> 00:14:45.474
- When i woke up this morning
- 00:14:46.075 --> 00:14:47.977
- And i didn't get that text from charlie,
- 00:14:47.977 --> 00:14:51.280
- It's almost like that's when it hit me.
- 00:14:51.280 --> 00:14:53.515
- Yeah, because he always does that every single day.
- 00:14:53.515 --> 00:14:56.885
- That's right.
- 00:14:57.252 --> 00:14:58.120
- But every sunday and today he didn't.
- 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.823
- Yeah.
- 00:15:01.056 --> 00:15:02.157
- It leaves a big void, not just in the text chain,
- 00:15:02.157 --> 00:15:05.527
- But in our society.
- 00:15:05.527 --> 00:15:08.764
- There were more than 2500 chapters, turning
- 00:15:08.764 --> 00:15:11.700
- Point chapters on university campuses around the country.
- 00:15:11.700 --> 00:15:14.103
- I mean, it's,
- 00:15:14.103 --> 00:15:15.637
- Just an unequaled movement that he began and grew
- 00:15:15.637 --> 00:15:19.074
- And stewarded,
- 00:15:19.074 --> 00:15:20.476
- As a great steward, by the way of the platform
- 00:15:20.476 --> 00:15:22.978
- That god gave him.
- 00:15:22.978 --> 00:15:24.046
- You know, he was faithful in the little things.
- 00:15:24.046 --> 00:15:26.248
- And then god trust him with more and more.
- 00:15:26.248 --> 00:15:28.417
- He had one of the biggest voices in the culture.
- 00:15:28.417 --> 00:15:30.886
- And and he knew the responsibility
- 00:15:30.886 --> 00:15:32.521
- That came with that.
- 00:15:32.521 --> 00:15:33.389
- And he was very careful with it.
- 00:15:33.389 --> 00:15:34.823
- And, that's why he was so deep in the scripture and,
- 00:15:34.823 --> 00:15:39.495
- In, in prayer because he wanted to make sure that he,
- 00:15:39.495 --> 00:15:42.598
- He carried that mantle. well, and he did.
- 00:15:42.598 --> 00:15:44.700
- You know, we know where he is right now.
- 00:15:44.700 --> 00:15:46.802
- I'm absolutely convinced where he is.
- 00:15:46.802 --> 00:15:48.871
- And he's here in that great, that great calling.
- 00:15:48.871 --> 00:15:52.174
- Well done.
- 00:15:52.174 --> 00:15:52.975
- Good and faithful servant. right.
- 00:15:52.975 --> 00:15:54.877
- All right.

- There's a flag at half mast many everything changed
- 00:16:00.482 --> 00:16:07.156
- On the morning of october 7th, 1200.
- 00:16:07.156 --> 00:16:10.392
- Innocent lives murdered in the most brutal, heartless way.
- 00:16:10.392 --> 00:16:15.064
- But we christians and jews, we understand
- 00:16:15.064 --> 00:16:18.400
- That the horrific attacks of october 7th are part
- 00:16:18.400 --> 00:16:21.470
- Of a greater spiritual battle against israel,
- 00:16:21.470 --> 00:16:25.574
- Against america, against truth itself.
- 00:16:25.574 --> 00:16:29.144
- The international fellowship
- 00:16:29.144 --> 00:16:30.479
- Of christians and jews will not be silenced.
- 00:16:30.479 --> 00:16:34.316
- This october 7th, across all of america and canada.
- 00:16:34.316 --> 00:16:38.654
- Over 1 million israeli flags will fly for freedom
- 00:16:38.654 --> 00:16:43.492
- For the truth of our shared biblical values.
- 00:16:43.492 --> 00:16:47.629

- And the lifesaving work of the fellowship.
- 00:16:59.174 --> 00:17:01.743
- Go to fellowship flags.org.
- 00:17:01.743 --> 00:17:05.013
- Thinking about social security.
- 00:17:05.647 --> 00:17:07.583
- Thinking back.
- 00:17:07.583 --> 00:17:08.984
- The amac foundation takes the confusion
- 00:17:08.984 --> 00:17:11.086
- And stress out of understanding.
- 00:17:11.086 --> 00:17:12.654
- Social security's thousands of rules and regulations.
- 00:17:12.654 --> 00:17:16.024
- Our nationally accredited
- 00:17:16.024 --> 00:17:17.359
- Advisors offer a personal touch that is unmatched,
- 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:21.029
- But that's not all aamc has to offer.
- 00:17:21.029 --> 00:17:23.232
- Amac is america's leading conservative advocacy
- 00:17:23.232 --> 00:17:26.001
- And benefits organization
- 00:17:26.001 --> 00:17:27.402
- Guided by the principles of faith, family, and freedom.
- 00:17:27.402 --> 00:17:31.140
- So when it comes to social security and so much more,
- 00:17:31.140 --> 00:17:34.209
- Think amac.
- 00:17:34.209 --> 00:17:35.007
- Think amac.
- 00:17:35.007 --> 00:17:41.151
- Jack for sobek.
- 00:17:41.518 --> 00:17:42.485
- This is the charlie kirk memorial show.
- 00:17:42.485 --> 00:17:45.088
- You're looking at the stars and stripes half mast.
- 00:17:45.088 --> 00:17:47.490
- There
- 00:17:47.490 --> 00:17:48.992
- With us.
- 00:17:48.992 --> 00:17:50.226
- The north lawn of the white house that you're looking at.
- 00:17:50.226 --> 00:17:52.795
- And today we are holding a memorial for charlie graves.
- 00:17:52.795 --> 00:17:57.100
- Than we knew.
- 00:17:57.100 --> 00:17:58.201
- And we're on with speaker mike johnson.
- 00:17:58.201 --> 00:18:00.803
- And we're discussing the speaker johnson,
- 00:18:00.803 --> 00:18:03.039
- President trump earlier today at the nine over 11 memorial.
- 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.676
- And of course, today is 9/11.
- 00:18:06.676 --> 00:18:08.478
- It certainly feels like 9/11 again.
- 00:18:08.478 --> 00:18:11.514
- That he announced that
- 00:18:11.514 --> 00:18:14.617
- Charlie will be at some upcoming, date
- 00:18:14.617 --> 00:18:19.289
- Posthumously awarded the presidential medal of freedom.
- 00:18:19.289 --> 00:18:23.193
- Do you know anything about that or potential other,
- 00:18:23.193 --> 00:18:26.796
- You know, memorials that, around d.c.
- 00:18:26.796 --> 00:18:29.766
- That maybe about the capitol that are being discussed?
- 00:18:29.766 --> 00:18:32.735
- Yeah, there's a lot being discussed.
- 00:18:33.503 --> 00:18:35.572
- It's interesting.
- 00:18:35.572 --> 00:18:36.639
- I talked to the president at length, yesterday,
- 00:18:36.639 --> 00:18:39.275
- Probably about an hour before this event took place,
- 00:18:39.275 --> 00:18:42.011
- And i have not spoken to him since.
- 00:18:42.011 --> 00:18:43.346
- And so we've been he was busy all last night, and i was.
- 00:18:43.346 --> 00:18:46.015
- And this morning i'm going to call him here shortly.
- 00:18:46.015 --> 00:18:48.651
- But i know that the president was very close to charlie.
- 00:18:48.651 --> 00:18:52.655
- He was like family, as you know, in the trump family.
- 00:18:52.655 --> 00:18:56.226
- And we all shared that same.
- 00:18:56.226 --> 00:18:58.561
- So many people, so many members of congress,
- 00:18:58.561 --> 00:19:01.164
- Republican members in the house, for certain.
- 00:19:01.164 --> 00:19:02.966
- All of my closest friends here,
- 00:19:02.966 --> 00:19:04.067
- They all felt a close connection to charlie
- 00:19:04.067 --> 00:19:06.803
- Because he made everybody feel that way.
- 00:19:06.803 --> 00:19:08.905
- And because of that, there's so there's there's just
- 00:19:08.905 --> 00:19:11.874
- Sort of this big movement now that members are just,
- 00:19:11.874 --> 00:19:15.878
- The one after the other or coming up with ideas
- 00:19:15.878 --> 00:19:18.014
- On how to memorialize him
- 00:19:18.014 --> 00:19:20.016
- And how to have an appropriate, you know, remembrance.
- 00:19:20.016 --> 00:19:23.686
- And there are lots of ideas or different resolutions.
- 00:19:23.686 --> 00:19:26.122
- And some of them were
- 00:19:26.122 --> 00:19:27.557
- They're going to be filed, in the record, you know, last
- 00:19:27.557 --> 00:19:30.760
- Yesterday evening, shortly after all this took place. so,
- 00:19:30.760 --> 00:19:35.198
- We got to sort all that out.
- 00:19:35.798 --> 00:19:37.033
- I'm going to have a collection, a stack of ideas of things,
- 00:19:37.033 --> 00:19:39.569
- Of how to do this, and we'll figure it out.
- 00:19:39.569 --> 00:19:41.904
- But we want to do something certainly,
- 00:19:41.904 --> 00:19:43.139
- That is appropriate for his stature
- 00:19:43.139 --> 00:19:44.941
- And what he meant to the country, what he meant to
- 00:19:44.941 --> 00:19:47.543
- The conservative movement, what he meant to our party.
- 00:19:47.543 --> 00:19:50.346
- But it does it really does transcend party,
- 00:19:50.346 --> 00:19:52.415
- Because charlie, in so many ways represented
- 00:19:52.415 --> 00:19:54.917
- The best of america, like all of us. right?
- 00:19:54.917 --> 00:19:57.153
- He obviously was on our team.
- 00:19:57.153 --> 00:19:58.688
- He was a
- 00:19:58.688 --> 00:19:59.789
- He was the one of the principal conservative voices
- 00:19:59.789 --> 00:20:02.759
- In the culture.
- 00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:04.027
- But even larger than that, he represented
- 00:20:04.027 --> 00:20:07.363
- The best of america.
- 00:20:07.363 --> 00:20:08.464
- And, you know, he
- 00:20:08.464 --> 00:20:09.532
- Charlie believed in and he tried to advance and
- 00:20:09.532 --> 00:20:12.201
- Share with the next generation the principles of freedom
- 00:20:12.201 --> 00:20:15.405
- He believed in.
- 00:20:15.772 --> 00:20:16.706
- He understood that the foundation of all
- 00:20:16.706 --> 00:20:17.974
- This is our judeo-christian
- 00:20:17.974 --> 00:20:19.375
- Heritage, the great tradition that we have that began
- 00:20:19.375 --> 00:20:22.412
- 250 years ago,
- 00:20:22.412 --> 00:20:23.680
- When we boldly proclaimed the self-evident truth
- 00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:26.849
- That our rights come from god, not the government,
- 00:20:26.849 --> 00:20:28.685
- And that god made us in his image,
- 00:20:28.685 --> 00:20:30.186
- And we owe our responsibility to him.
- 00:20:30.186 --> 00:20:32.255
- I mean, charlie understood what made america
- 00:20:32.255 --> 00:20:34.090
- Different and exceptional
- 00:20:34.090 --> 00:20:35.191
- And the greatest nation in the history of the world.
- 00:20:35.191 --> 00:20:36.759
- And he was so passionate
- 00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:38.494
- About making sure the next generation
- 00:20:38.494 --> 00:20:40.129
- Understood that even the people that didn't agree with him,
- 00:20:40.129 --> 00:20:42.932
- That was his drive.
- 00:20:42.932 --> 00:20:44.300
- And so he represents so much and all that is to say that i,
- 00:20:44.300 --> 00:20:47.970
- You know, there's an appropriate level
- 00:20:47.970 --> 00:20:50.440
- Of memorialization of this great life
- 00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:52.809
- That is, you know, not suited for most.
- 00:20:52.809 --> 00:20:54.844
- And, we got to sort that out and figure it out.
- 00:20:54.844 --> 00:20:56.779
- And that's what we do in the next couple of days.
- 00:20:56.779 --> 00:20:59.515
- I think that's absolutely right.
- 00:21:00.216 --> 00:21:01.784
- I think that's absolutely appropriate.
- 00:21:01.784 --> 00:21:03.319
- And i've also been privy to some of the ideas and,
- 00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.123
- And memorial ideas and perhaps naming ideas of,
- 00:21:07.123 --> 00:21:10.793
- Of, you know, maybe a park or something that,
- 00:21:10.793 --> 00:21:13.830
- You know, tied with the 258 people have been kicking around
- 00:21:13.830 --> 00:21:16.899
- That, that because charlie love the outdoors.
- 00:21:16.899 --> 00:21:18.701
- That's something that actually people
- 00:21:18.701 --> 00:21:19.969
- Don't, you know, you see them on campus,
- 00:21:19.969 --> 00:21:21.571
- You see them on camera, but, you know, every single minute
- 00:21:21.571 --> 00:21:24.640
- He could get in the sun, he was a big believer,
- 00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:27.610
- You know, big mahogany
- 00:21:27.610 --> 00:21:28.845
- And always believed in the power being outside
- 00:21:28.845 --> 00:21:31.581
- And believed in our country.
- 00:21:31.581 --> 00:21:33.082
- You know, this
- 00:21:33.082 --> 00:21:33.983
- This past weekend
- 00:21:33.983 --> 00:21:35.118
- He he went to korea, which i believe korea,
- 00:21:35.118 --> 00:21:38.721
- Japan will end up being his last tour.
- 00:21:38.721 --> 00:21:40.223
- And that was the first time he'd been to that part
- 00:21:40.223 --> 00:21:42.992
- Of the world.
- 00:21:42.992 --> 00:21:44.093
- And he just loved america so much and traveled to.
- 00:21:44.093 --> 00:21:46.662
- I remember
- 00:21:46.662 --> 00:21:47.697
- He used to used to tell me he was so, so proud
- 00:21:47.697 --> 00:21:49.866
- That he had visited every state twice.
- 00:21:49.866 --> 00:21:51.467
- He said, i got every state twice, jackie of all 50.
- 00:21:51.467 --> 00:21:53.503
- Yet, you know, and and that's so he
- 00:21:53.503 --> 00:21:55.872
- He and i were always ribbing each other.
- 00:21:55.872 --> 00:21:57.206
- And that's the,
- 00:21:57.206 --> 00:21:58.908
- I think that's what,
- 00:21:58.908 --> 00:21:59.542
- You know,
- 00:21:59.542 --> 00:22:00.343
- In many ways on this at the most
- 00:22:00.343 --> 00:22:01.477
- Is the little debates and the camaraderie that you,
- 00:22:01.477 --> 00:22:03.980
- That you have with them.
- 00:22:03.980 --> 00:22:04.781
- Mr. speaker, i understand
- 00:22:04.781 --> 00:22:06.048
- You obviously have quite a lot on your plate as well today.
- 00:22:06.048 --> 00:22:09.652
- Just is there any other message
- 00:22:09.652 --> 00:22:11.687
- That you wanted to give
- 00:22:11.687 --> 00:22:12.789
- For the folks that are watching before we take off?
- 00:22:12.789 --> 00:22:15.324
- Well, i'll just say this.
- 00:22:15.324 --> 00:22:16.959
- I mean, because you touched on it there.
- 00:22:16.959 --> 00:22:18.661
- He traveled all 50 states more than once.
- 00:22:18.661 --> 00:22:20.663
- He was
- 00:22:20.663 --> 00:22:21.864
- A singular figure in history because i heard yesterday
- 00:22:21.864 --> 00:22:24.834
- Some people comparing charlie in a way, his his stature,
- 00:22:24.834 --> 00:22:28.504
- His intelligence, his character,
- 00:22:28.504 --> 00:22:29.772
- His demeanor, his integrity to that of the founding fathers.
- 00:22:29.772 --> 00:22:32.708
- I mean, he kind of had that spirit about him, right?
- 00:22:32.708 --> 00:22:34.710
- As we know.
- 00:22:34.710 --> 00:22:35.511
- And what's interesting about charlie,
- 00:22:35.511 --> 00:22:37.280
- As opposed to our our forefathers
- 00:22:37.280 --> 00:22:39.015
- Is that he had the, the,
- 00:22:39.015 --> 00:22:40.216
- The ability of, of technology, of modern transportation means
- 00:22:40.216 --> 00:22:44.287
- He could take the voice everywhere. and he did.
- 00:22:44.287 --> 00:22:46.322
- I mean, he used every platform available.
- 00:22:46.322 --> 00:22:48.257
- I mean radio broadcast everywhere, television.
- 00:22:48.257 --> 00:22:51.160
- He was ubiquitous.
- 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:52.662
- And he used the, again, the platform that god
- 00:22:52.662 --> 00:22:55.898
- Gave him to the greatest extent possible.
- 00:22:55.898 --> 00:22:58.734
- In fact, he was a pioneer in that regard.
- 00:22:58.734 --> 00:23:01.237
- I mean, you know,
- 00:23:01.237 --> 00:23:02.438
- People said, well, he aspired to be like rush limbaugh.
- 00:23:02.438 --> 00:23:05.608
- He went further than rush in many ways because he
- 00:23:05.608 --> 00:23:07.910
- Because he mastered all these other mediums.
- 00:23:07.910 --> 00:23:10.847
- Right. and
- 00:23:10.847 --> 00:23:12.048
- He did more than the founders could have ever imagined.
- 00:23:12.048 --> 00:23:14.183
- And to advance the principles that they set in place.
- 00:23:14.183 --> 00:23:17.153
- And it is very appropriate, on the eve of our 250th
- 00:23:17.153 --> 00:23:19.856
- Birthday, as a nation,
- 00:23:19.856 --> 00:23:20.923
- The greatest nation in the history of the world,
- 00:23:20.923 --> 00:23:22.625
- That we had a figure like this for such a short time,
- 00:23:22.625 --> 00:23:25.695
- And he left such a tremendous legacy
- 00:23:25.695 --> 00:23:27.830
- For the next chapter
- 00:23:27.830 --> 00:23:29.365
- Of american history that we're all going to forge together.
- 00:23:29.365 --> 00:23:31.868
- And i hope we do it in
- 00:23:31.868 --> 00:23:32.735
- The spirit that charlie left us with
- 00:23:32.735 --> 00:23:34.737
- Not not timidly, but boldly, but in love.

- You know,
- 00:23:53.523 --> 00:23:54.857
- Turning point usa would not exist without charlie.
- 00:23:54.857 --> 00:23:57.326
- Without charlie kirk, without turning point action.
- 00:23:57.326 --> 00:24:00.229
- Who knows?
- 00:24:00.530 --> 00:24:02.064
- Maybe you don't have a president donald trump,
- 00:24:02.064 --> 00:24:04.967
- A vice president, j.d.
- 00:24:05.434 --> 00:24:06.502
- Vance and the vice president had
- 00:24:06.502 --> 00:24:09.939
- Put up an incredible,
- 00:24:10.439 --> 00:24:12.842
- 1000 word
- 00:24:12.842 --> 00:24:15.278
- Eulogy to charlie last night.
- 00:24:15.278 --> 00:24:18.614
- And you could tell
- 00:24:18.614 --> 00:24:19.749
- You could just tell from the way it was written that jd
- 00:24:19.749 --> 00:24:22.418
- Wrote it himself, that he had been
- 00:24:22.418 --> 00:24:25.321
- So close with charlie all the way back
- 00:24:26.155 --> 00:24:27.890
- To 2017. and.
- 00:24:27.890 --> 00:24:32.361
- So,
- 00:24:32.562 --> 00:24:33.462
- What we are also told right now is that,
- 00:24:33.462 --> 00:24:37.199
- The vice president vance will be, of course, he was not at
- 00:24:37.199 --> 00:24:41.737
- The nine over 11 memorial because he is on his way.
- 00:24:42.805 --> 00:24:45.575
- He's en route to salt lake city,
- 00:24:45.575 --> 00:24:48.878
- Where he can be with erica
- 00:24:48.878 --> 00:24:51.647
- And the family
- 00:24:51.981 --> 00:24:54.050
- As as they work through the arrangements
- 00:24:54.050 --> 00:24:58.754
- And the preparations for
- 00:24:58.754 --> 00:25:01.857
- For saying goodbye to charlie
- 00:25:01.857 --> 00:25:04.493
- And and that's something that we're all going through.
- 00:25:04.493 --> 00:25:09.198
- It's something we'll all have to go through
- 00:25:09.198 --> 00:25:12.034
- For everyone in our life.
- 00:25:12.034 --> 00:25:14.937
- Saying goodbye and
- 00:25:14.937 --> 00:25:18.708
- Last night,
- 00:25:19.041 --> 00:25:20.343

- And asked if i would like to write something for charlie,
- 00:25:23.212 --> 00:25:28.517
- That they would publish on their opinion side.
- 00:25:28.517 --> 00:25:31.420
- And so i did.
- 00:25:31.420 --> 00:25:32.655

- Bold, unashamed
- 00:25:39.295 --> 00:25:42.465
- And anchored in faith
- 00:25:42.465 --> 00:25:45.201
- And you can go check it out.
- 00:25:45.201 --> 00:25:47.903
- I said on september 10th,
- 00:25:47.903 --> 00:25:50.873
- America lost a warrior and family lost a father.
- 00:25:50.873 --> 00:25:54.710
- Charlie kirk was my brother.
- 00:25:55.311 --> 00:25:57.713
- He was a man who stood tall with his feet firmly planted
- 00:25:57.713 --> 00:26:01.017
- And a microphone in his hand.
- 00:26:01.017 --> 00:26:03.853
- He was taken from us at utah valley
- 00:26:03.853 --> 00:26:05.755
- University while proclaiming truth.
- 00:26:05.755 --> 00:26:08.591
- Do not flinch.
- 00:26:08.591 --> 00:26:09.859
- He did not waver. he did not run.
- 00:26:09.859 --> 00:26:12.762
- He died as he lived, bold, steadfast
- 00:26:12.762 --> 00:26:16.565
- And unashamed of the gospel
- 00:26:16.565 --> 00:26:19.201
- And the truth.
- 00:26:19.201 --> 00:26:21.604
- When america needed a hero,
- 00:26:21.604 --> 00:26:24.140
- God sent his charlie kirk.
- 00:26:24.140 --> 00:26:27.576
- And there was something
- 00:26:28.077 --> 00:26:29.145
- About charlie that no matter how big charlie got.
- 00:26:29.145 --> 00:26:31.614
- And i was with him, and i knew him as he went from
- 00:26:31.614 --> 00:26:35.518
- From being well known
- 00:26:35.518 --> 00:26:38.287
- To an international celebrity.
- 00:26:38.287 --> 00:26:41.090
- And it didn't matter because he was always kind.
- 00:26:41.090 --> 00:26:44.093
- He was always generous to everyone,
- 00:26:44.093 --> 00:26:46.462
- Super generous with his time, and he could make a
- 00:26:46.462 --> 00:26:49.165
- Nobody feel like a somebody
- 00:26:49.165 --> 00:26:52.368
- Because he would listen to every single person,
- 00:26:52.368 --> 00:27:00.409
- Man. charlie,
- 00:27:00.776 --> 00:27:02.278
- I remember when we were starting these out
- 00:27:02.278 --> 00:27:05.514
- And it was that like that, you know, it was like this.
- 00:27:05.514 --> 00:27:08.451
- It was like.
- 00:27:08.451 --> 00:27:09.318
- It was like your average three rows.
- 00:27:09.318 --> 00:27:10.653
- It was like your average political meeting
- 00:27:10.653 --> 00:27:12.054
- Where there was like, 12 people in a room.
- 00:27:12.054 --> 00:27:13.556
