International fellowship of christians and jews.

00:00:15.472 --> 00:00:17.674
Blake, stop. in the name of god.
00:00:17.674 --> 00:00:19.142
Erica kirk has been in new york doing media.
00:00:19.142 --> 00:00:22.879
I think today she's.
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:24.914
She did fox and friends at hannity last night.
00:00:24.914 --> 00:00:27.317
This i think she's going to be
00:00:27.317 --> 00:00:28.418
Co-hosting the five today, which is very exciting.
00:00:28.418 --> 00:00:31.988
And she's going,
00:00:32.388 --> 00:00:33.623
You're the sort of person who watches the fox if you're the.
00:00:33.623 --> 00:00:35.391
Yeah, well, you actually,
00:00:35.391 --> 00:00:36.659
I think the five is actually maybe people don't know this.
00:00:36.659 --> 00:00:39.896
I think it's the top rated show on the network.
00:00:39.896 --> 00:00:42.465
On that network, with greg, a lot of people do like it.
00:00:42.465 --> 00:00:45.435
Yeah, i know it's a very popular show.
00:00:45.435 --> 00:00:47.170
And then she's going to be
00:00:47.170 --> 00:00:48.404
Joining us so you guys are going to stay tuned for that.
00:00:48.404 --> 00:00:51.341
And she's going to be talking about the book this,
00:00:51.341 --> 00:00:53.376
Right here.
00:00:53.376 --> 00:00:54.377
I also have it in my hand.
00:00:54.377 --> 00:00:55.512
Stop in the name of god, charlie's last book,
00:00:55.512 --> 00:00:58.047
And this was a a labor of absolute love from charlie.
00:00:58.047 --> 00:01:01.851
He spent over a year working on it, jotting down
00:01:01.851 --> 00:01:03.920
Notes, reflections, meditating on it.
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:05.788
It's deeply personal.
00:01:05.788 --> 00:01:07.390
I think erica said it really well, actually,
00:01:07.390 --> 00:01:10.527
Henry,
00:01:10.527 --> 00:01:10.960
I don't want to
00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:11.828
Get ahead of ourselves here
00:01:11.828 --> 00:01:12.962
Because we're going to be talking about the erica.
00:01:12.962 --> 00:01:14.230
But this charlie learning how to rest one day
00:01:14.230 --> 00:01:17.534
A week was what helped him level up.
00:01:17.534 --> 00:01:19.702
It was what really took him.
00:01:19.702 --> 00:01:21.671
He was amazing. amazing.
00:01:21.671 --> 00:01:23.406
But then when he did this, he became even more,
00:01:23.406 --> 00:01:25.975
Amazing, effective, better leader and so many things.
00:01:25.975 --> 00:01:29.145
So we've got the artwork back there, the team,
00:01:29.145 --> 00:01:32.081
The team got it done and put it up there.
00:01:32.081 --> 00:01:34.083
And lots of news to cover. in the meantime, let's
00:01:34.083 --> 00:01:35.985
Just get out the gate real well here.
00:01:35.985 --> 00:01:38.154
Jasmine crockett has decided to run for senate,
00:01:38.154 --> 00:01:40.957
And i feel obligated to to at least lead with this.
00:01:40.957 --> 00:01:45.495
You know, jasmine crockett
00:01:45.495 --> 00:01:48.865
Is, a very fiery figure.
00:01:48.865 --> 00:01:52.001
It out of texas.
00:01:52.001 --> 00:01:53.636
She has risen to prominence by basically being
00:01:53.636 --> 00:01:56.573
Flamboyantly, aggressively, obnoxiously insensitive,
00:01:56.573 --> 00:02:01.244
Saying wild things, saying anti-white
00:02:01.244 --> 00:02:05.148
Things, anti-trump things, anti-conservative things.
00:02:05.148 --> 00:02:08.084
So let's just hear in her own words
00:02:08.084 --> 00:02:09.586
Why she's announcing her run for senate.
00:02:09.586 --> 00:02:11.421
181 there are a lot of people that said,
00:02:11.421 --> 00:02:14.123
You gotta stay in the house.
00:02:14.123 --> 00:02:16.359
We need our voice.
00:02:16.359 --> 00:02:18.127
We need you there.
00:02:18.127 --> 00:02:20.363
And i understand,
00:02:20.797 --> 00:02:23.199
But what we need is for me to have a bigger voice.
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.669
Well, this is what happens, right?
00:02:26.669 --> 00:02:27.937
I mean, if you go after somebody,
00:02:27.937 --> 00:02:29.639
It actually raises their profile, right?
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:31.674
It's the barbra streisand effect.
00:02:31.674 --> 00:02:33.610
The streisand effect is where, you know, i guess it goes back
00:02:33.610 --> 00:02:37.280
To where streisand wanted to keep her privacy intact.
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.750
And then she ended up fighting back against somebody taking,
00:02:40.750 --> 00:02:44.254
You know, exposing her home address made everyone see,
00:02:44.254 --> 00:02:46.923
Which made everybody see her her home address.
00:02:46.923 --> 00:02:50.293
So it worked against her.
00:02:50.293 --> 00:02:51.494
So it's called the streisand effect.
00:02:51.494 --> 00:02:53.329
And you have this in politics, right?
00:02:53.329 --> 00:02:56.199
Senator mark kelly says some crazy things,
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.768
That are, you know, eerily similar to a coup,
00:02:58.768 --> 00:03:02.739
A military coup or encouraging that, subversion.
00:03:02.739 --> 00:03:06.643
And guess what? now he is.
00:03:07.210 --> 00:03:09.412
And many new polls.
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:11.080
It's like
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:12.081
Gavin newsom, mark kelly is who the democrats
00:03:12.081 --> 00:03:13.783
Think is the most viable candidate
00:03:13.783 --> 00:03:15.251
To run for president in 2028.
00:03:15.251 --> 00:03:16.853
It's going to be risky because i think i think mark
00:03:16.853 --> 00:03:18.655
Kelly would be a more dangerous candidate.
00:03:18.655 --> 00:03:19.989
I'm just jasmine crockett, for example.
00:03:19.989 --> 00:03:21.491
Yeah, exactly. but this is what we have.
00:03:21.491 --> 00:03:23.293
Jasmine crockett says says all these crazy things.
00:03:23.293 --> 00:03:25.395
We say she's crazy.
00:03:25.395 --> 00:03:27.130
And all of a sudden, that's all it takes for her profile
00:03:27.130 --> 00:03:29.666
To be raised.
00:03:29.666 --> 00:03:30.700
So let's pick our enemies very carefully here.
00:03:30.700 --> 00:03:33.670
But in the case of jasmine crockett,
00:03:33.670 --> 00:03:35.371
I think this is a good choice because she is so insane
00:03:35.371 --> 00:03:37.573
And i think she's going to have a heck of an uphill battle
00:03:37.573 --> 00:03:40.710
In the state of texas.
00:03:40.710 --> 00:03:41.878
Let's play 184 this is her comparing yourself
00:03:41.878 --> 00:03:45.248
To being the next barack hussein obama.
00:03:45.248 --> 00:03:48.451
184 there was this charismatic, funny, intelligent
00:03:48.451 --> 00:03:52.755
And exciting young candidate with a funny name
00:03:52.755 --> 00:03:56.592
Who just got into the us senate
00:03:56.592 --> 00:03:59.228
And was running for president.
00:03:59.228 --> 00:04:01.197
Many doubted
00:04:01.531 --> 00:04:02.465
If this country was ready, while others,
00:04:02.465 --> 00:04:05.935
Well, we got to work and kept hope alive.
00:04:05.935 --> 00:04:08.705
Yes, we can.
00:04:09.038 --> 00:04:11.941
Yes, i'm talking about president barack obama.
00:04:12.909 --> 00:04:15.878
She left out the hussein obama, but that's it.
00:04:15.878 --> 00:04:18.014
Yeah. that's it.
00:04:18.014 --> 00:04:18.681
Charlie would always say it,
00:04:18.681 --> 00:04:19.649
I think i think because rhino always did it.
00:04:19.649 --> 00:04:21.651
Yeah. oh yeah.
00:04:21.651 --> 00:04:22.352
Always imitate it was an ode to
00:04:22.352 --> 00:04:23.386
It was an ode to rush and of course. narrator.
00:04:23.386 --> 00:04:25.321
The country was not ready for barack obama.
00:04:25.321 --> 00:04:27.490
No. not remotely who was not, but but this is what's crazy.
00:04:27.490 --> 00:04:30.760
She's so.
00:04:30.760 --> 00:04:31.327
She's so crazy that she.
00:04:31.327 --> 00:04:33.763
We've got so many great clips on jasmine crockett.
00:04:33.763 --> 00:04:37.100
And this is this is an interesting clip.
00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:39.435
This is when she was saying
00:04:39.435 --> 00:04:40.536
She's
00:04:40.536 --> 00:04:41.204
Open to ending tax on black
00:04:41.204 --> 00:04:42.472
Because she's in favor of reparations,
00:04:42.472 --> 00:04:44.674
But she admits that many are not already paying taxes. 176
00:04:44.674 --> 00:04:49.078
One of the things that they propose is
00:04:49.846 --> 00:04:51.280
Black folk not have to pay taxes.
00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:53.015
And i was like, i don't know,
00:04:53.015 --> 00:04:54.217
That's not necessarily a bad idea.
00:04:54.217 --> 00:04:55.785
Then you start dealing
00:04:55.785 --> 00:04:56.919
With the different tax brackets and things like that.
00:04:56.919 --> 00:04:58.521
And that's one of the reasons
00:04:58.521 --> 00:05:00.189
That, you know, we argue the reparations make sense
00:05:00.189 --> 00:05:03.326
Because so many black folk and not only do you owe
00:05:03.326 --> 00:05:06.863
For the labor
00:05:06.863 --> 00:05:07.997
That was stolen and killed and all the other things.
00:05:07.997 --> 00:05:10.533
Right.
00:05:10.533 --> 00:05:11.634
But the fact is, like we end up being so far behind.
00:05:11.634 --> 00:05:14.537
Right.
00:05:14.537 --> 00:05:15.738
And so it's like, how do you bring forth people exactly?
00:05:15.738 --> 00:05:18.674
And so it's like if you if you do the no tax thing
00:05:18.674 --> 00:05:22.078
For people that are already, say, struggling and aren't
00:05:22.078 --> 00:05:25.615
Really paying taxes
00:05:25.615 --> 00:05:26.516
In the first place, it doesn't really.
00:05:26.516 --> 00:05:29.118
Exactly. they may want those
00:05:29.118 --> 00:05:30.987
Those checks like they got it exactly.
00:05:30.987 --> 00:05:33.823
So that's her admitting that, you know,
00:05:33.823 --> 00:05:36.192
Reparations is a
00:05:36.592 --> 00:05:38.161
Is a flawed, endeavor to begin with.
00:05:38.161 --> 00:05:40.797
We could we could keep going.
00:05:40.797 --> 00:05:42.465
She says she doesn't need to win
00:05:42.465 --> 00:05:43.566
Over trump supporters to do this.
00:05:43.566 --> 00:05:45.134
Now, trump carried texas by 14 points.
00:05:45.134 --> 00:05:48.438
So if i'm just doing the math here, i gotta i got a question.
00:05:48.438 --> 00:05:53.209
Her logic here blake 178.
00:05:53.209 --> 00:05:56.846
How will you convert those who are supportive of him
00:05:56.846 --> 00:05:59.615
To voters for you?
00:05:59.615 --> 00:06:00.850
Yeah, i don't know.
00:06:00.850 --> 00:06:02.051
That will necessarily convert all of trump's supporters.
00:06:02.051 --> 00:06:04.554
That's not our you need to
00:06:04.554 --> 00:06:05.988
Our goal is to definitely talk to people.
00:06:05.988 --> 00:06:08.658
No we don't we don't need to.
00:06:08.658 --> 00:06:10.560
Well we got to get some.
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:11.761
You guys got to get somebody.
00:06:11.761 --> 00:06:12.895
So so this is a good reason to be optimistic because
00:06:12.895 --> 00:06:16.732
Jasmine crock won. all right.
00:06:16.732 --> 00:06:18.034
One of her opponents has already
00:06:18.034 --> 00:06:19.302
Basically dropped out in response to this.
00:06:19.302 --> 00:06:21.571
Decided, let's pack up and go home. but
00:06:21.571 --> 00:06:24.207
There's been a pattern.
00:06:24.707 --> 00:06:26.142
Democrats are really addicted to the idea of flipping texas.
00:06:26.142 --> 00:06:29.712
It's kind of it's similar to how will often
00:06:29.712 --> 00:06:32.482
Be contacted by conservatives in california.
00:06:32.482 --> 00:06:35.284
They often dream of flipping california red
00:06:35.284 --> 00:06:37.987
The whole state, not just house districts.
00:06:37.987 --> 00:06:39.789
And we often have to say, we support you.
00:06:39.789 --> 00:06:42.225
We should work as hard as we can, but
00:06:42.225 --> 00:06:44.594
It's not the immediate priority
00:06:44.594 --> 00:06:46.162
Now because it's difficult and expensive
00:06:46.162 --> 00:06:48.264
And we're not close to doing it.
00:06:48.264 --> 00:06:49.999
Democrats do this a lot with the state of texas,
00:06:49.999 --> 00:06:52.935
Where they get set up that they're going to flip
00:06:52.935 --> 00:06:55.404
The state in a big statewide race, blue,
00:06:55.404 --> 00:06:57.740
And they spend tons of money on it.
00:06:57.740 --> 00:06:59.509
So let's throw up.
00:06:59.509 --> 00:07:00.409
A decade ago, we had wendy davis.
00:07:00.409 --> 00:07:02.411
She gave a filibuster speech on the floor of,
00:07:02.411 --> 00:07:05.581
I believe, the texas state senate over an abortion bill.
00:07:05.581 --> 00:07:07.850
If they want to roll her out there
00:07:07.850 --> 00:07:09.318
And see what they can get done, that's fine.
00:07:09.318 --> 00:07:11.420
I hope they spend a lot of money on jasmine.
00:07:11.420 --> 00:07:13.523
I hope they spend so much money backing jasmine.
00:07:13.523 --> 00:07:16.926
Crockett.
00:07:16.926 --> 00:07:20.429
The wounds from
00:07:20.796 --> 00:07:21.797
October 7th didn't fade when the headlines did.
00:07:21.797 --> 00:07:24.934
Behind me rises
00:07:25.301 --> 00:07:26.502
A new rehabilitation home for israel's wounded soldiers.
00:07:26.502 --> 00:07:30.172
One of many urgent projects israel needs right now.
00:07:30.172 --> 00:07:33.910
Entire communities shattered.
00:07:34.544 --> 00:07:36.646
Families displaced.
00:07:36.646 --> 00:07:38.381
And each day,
00:07:38.381 --> 00:07:39.482
The impact of the need grows even more overwhelming.
00:07:39.482 --> 00:07:43.452
But the bible says it clearly.
00:07:43.452 --> 00:07:45.721
The righteous will live by faith and by faith.
00:07:45.721 --> 00:07:49.892
The fellowship is rolling up our sleeves
00:07:49.892 --> 00:07:51.661
And stepping into this immense challenge.
00:07:51.661 --> 00:07:54.196
Helping mothers who don't know where to begin again.
00:07:54.196 --> 00:07:56.766
Standing with paralyzed heroes.
00:07:56.766 --> 00:07:58.601
Fighting to take their first steps.
00:07:58.601 --> 00:08:00.803
Building centers of healing for the wounded
00:08:00.803 --> 00:08:03.239
And the traumatized.
00:08:03.239 --> 00:08:04.807
Bringing food and comfort to elderly israelis
00:08:04.807 --> 00:08:07.810
Who have no one else to care for them.
00:08:07.810 --> 00:08:11.013
To see the life saving work of the fellowship.
00:08:11.013 --> 00:08:14.050
Unfolding across israel right now.
00:08:14.050 --> 00:08:17.019
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:08:17.019 --> 00:08:20.008
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:08:20.008 --> 00:08:28.635
We have erica kirk on the show.
00:08:29.269 --> 00:08:32.706
She is joining us remote because she
00:08:32.706 --> 00:08:34.841
Has a busy, busy day.
00:08:34.841 --> 00:08:36.543
But erica, if you can hear us, welcome
00:08:36.543 --> 00:08:39.179
To the charlie kirk show.
00:08:39.179 --> 00:08:42.248
But we are going to go live.
00:08:42.248 --> 00:08:43.683
Hey, everyone, can you hear me?
00:08:43.683 --> 00:08:44.951
Yes, yes, we do.
00:08:44.951 --> 00:08:46.152
A slight delay, but we can hear you. hi.
00:08:46.152 --> 00:08:49.089
Oh, delay.
00:08:49.089 --> 00:08:50.123
Those are to be expected.
00:08:50.123 --> 00:08:51.858
Well, today is the book launch of charlie's book.
00:08:51.858 --> 00:08:56.596
His final book.
00:08:56.596 --> 00:08:57.464
Stop in the name of god.
00:08:57.464 --> 00:08:59.466
And here is this beautiful artwork. yes.
00:08:59.466 --> 00:09:02.369
And erica, you and charlie and your beautiful daughter
00:09:02.369 --> 00:09:06.239
Are on the back, and it's just it's just a beautiful book.
00:09:06.239 --> 00:09:09.976
I've been voraciously reading it.
00:09:09.976 --> 00:09:12.479
It is a wonderful personal,
00:09:12.479 --> 00:09:14.614
Tribute and such an important message.
00:09:14.614 --> 00:09:17.417
Tell us about it.
00:09:17.417 --> 00:09:19.285
It is a book that my husband, as you know, andrew,
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:23.523
He was writing this for, what, a year and a half.
00:09:23.523 --> 00:09:25.659
And he finished it.
00:09:25.659 --> 00:09:26.893
And in july, and i'll never forget him coming downstairs.
00:09:26.893 --> 00:09:30.063
And he was like, i've finished it.
00:09:30.063 --> 00:09:32.198
I finally finished it.
00:09:32.198 --> 00:09:33.767
It's like, baby, i'm so proud of you.
00:09:33.767 --> 00:09:34.901
He was like,
00:09:34.901 --> 00:09:36.102
You know, if this only changes just one person's life,
00:09:36.102 --> 00:09:38.838
At least it change to just that one.
00:09:38.838 --> 00:09:40.607
He's like, but honestly, he and i have to tell you this,
00:09:40.607 --> 00:09:45.545
Watching him live this out in real time changed his life.
00:09:45.545 --> 00:09:49.883
Totally elevated him. i mean, he was
00:09:49.883 --> 00:09:51.484
Already elevated, but it was the next level.
00:09:51.484 --> 00:09:52.852
It was amazing.
00:09:52.852 --> 00:09:53.620
I mean, yes, my husband was amazing
00:09:53.620 --> 00:09:55.689
To begin with, but this really took it to the next level.
00:09:55.689 --> 00:09:58.758
Yeah, well, and i can
00:09:59.259 --> 00:10:00.527
Just tell you and blake probably saw this as well.
00:10:00.527 --> 00:10:03.296
So this is a little this is a little funny story.
00:10:03.296 --> 00:10:05.398
So charlie loved to work.
00:10:05.398 --> 00:10:07.267
He loved loved working.
00:10:07.267 --> 00:10:09.502
Which is good because he got to do it all the time.
00:10:09.502 --> 00:10:11.204
Yeah. he i mean, and he really loved working.
00:10:11.204 --> 00:10:13.506
And i remember when i first started
00:10:13.506 --> 00:10:14.874
Working with charlie, it was kind of
00:10:14.874 --> 00:10:16.276
Just like 24 over seven, you know,
00:10:16.276 --> 00:10:18.411
And he was always good natured about it, always upbeat.
00:10:18.411 --> 00:10:21.247
He loved it. he loved it.
00:10:21.247 --> 00:10:23.149
And i remember my wife was like, hey, you know, are we
00:10:23.149 --> 00:10:27.187
Are we ever going to have any, you know, time, day downtime?
00:10:27.187 --> 00:10:31.157
Yeah. like, how about a weekend husband?
00:10:31.157 --> 00:10:33.059
And i was like, yeah,
00:10:33.059 --> 00:10:34.194
You know, we well, i'll talk i'll talk to you.
00:10:34.194 --> 00:10:35.795
Well then along comes erica.
00:10:35.795 --> 00:10:37.464
Now you guys have a family.
00:10:37.464 --> 00:10:38.798
And charlie starts
00:10:38.798 --> 00:10:40.033
Getting really into this idea of how to rest, how to rest.
00:10:40.033 --> 00:10:43.436
Well, and i could just tell you that i saw not only did i see
00:10:43.436 --> 00:10:47.407
Charlie, this take charlie to the next level,
00:10:47.407 --> 00:10:50.410
But it also allowed everybody else to kind of go
00:10:50.410 --> 00:10:53.747
To the next level, too, because our lives and everybody
00:10:53.747 --> 00:10:56.583
That he was leading their lives became more in balance, too.
00:10:56.583 --> 00:10:59.252
It was an amazing transformation
00:10:59.252 --> 00:11:03.923
It was,
00:11:04.157 --> 00:11:05.291
And not even so much from just a productivity level.
00:11:05.291 --> 00:11:07.393
But andrew and blake, you guys both know this.
00:11:07.393 --> 00:11:09.796
The whole team knows this
00:11:09.796 --> 00:11:11.598
Being in politics and just in a total echo
00:11:11.598 --> 00:11:14.334
Chamber, and then also just dealing with real world issues
00:11:14.334 --> 00:11:18.371
And then also just dealing with even personal life issues.
00:11:18.371 --> 00:11:21.441
All of those three combined become this absolute trifecta
00:11:21.441 --> 00:11:24.544
Of this weight on you, where you're just like,
00:11:24.544 --> 00:11:27.647
Can i just have a second to breathe?
00:11:27.647 --> 00:11:29.582
I just need a second to breathe.
00:11:29.582 --> 00:11:31.518
And that's what this is.
00:11:31.518 --> 00:11:32.886
It has nothing to do with you running away.
00:11:32.886 --> 00:11:35.955
It has nothing to do with take.
00:11:35.955 --> 00:11:37.557
It's literally taking a pause so you can lay out and map out.
00:11:37.557 --> 00:11:40.994
Okay.
00:11:40.994 --> 00:11:41.961
Pause the noise for a second.
00:11:41.961 --> 00:11:43.363
Just stop the noise for a second.
00:11:43.363 --> 00:11:45.231
What truly matters have people pour into you.
00:11:45.231 --> 00:11:48.768
Have some alone time with the lord.
00:11:48.768 --> 00:11:50.370
Spend some time with your family.
00:11:50.370 --> 00:11:52.172
Have a beautiful meal with your family.
00:11:52.172 --> 00:11:54.407
On whatever day you choose to do this.
00:11:54.407 --> 00:11:56.709
It does not have to be a friday does not have to be a sunday.
00:11:56.709 --> 00:12:00.113
It doesn't even have to be a wednesday.
00:12:00.113 --> 00:12:02.615
You can choose that. that's what's so beautiful.
00:12:02.615 --> 00:12:04.784
Charlie was not legalistic about the sabbath.
00:12:04.784 --> 00:12:07.187
He was saying, please just take the time
00:12:07.187 --> 00:12:09.122
To be just set aside to be alone with the lord,
00:12:09.122 --> 00:12:11.758
To be able to pray, to be able to just even journal.
00:12:11.758 --> 00:12:15.094
Charlie loved to journal.
00:12:15.094 --> 00:12:16.696
He left hundreds of his journals and that to him
00:12:16.696 --> 00:12:20.233
Was just so cathartic to be able
00:12:20.233 --> 00:12:22.068
To just write out what he was grateful for.
00:12:22.068 --> 00:12:24.904
You know, even just,
00:12:25.371 --> 00:12:26.940
I don't know, when he would go for a walk
00:12:26.940 --> 00:12:28.608
And he would just
00:12:28.608 --> 00:12:29.609
Would have ideas that came to him for his show.
00:12:29.609 --> 00:12:31.878
He just really took the time to think, you know what?
00:12:31.878 --> 00:12:35.381
This worked for me because it helped me from burning out.
00:12:35.381 --> 00:12:38.818
And that was a superpower for him.
00:12:38.818 --> 00:12:40.954
People would say, how do you do this?
00:12:40.954 --> 00:12:42.689
How do you operate?
00:12:42.689 --> 00:12:43.857
And he would always say, i get he would give eight hours,
00:12:43.857 --> 00:12:47.994
8 to 10 hours of sleep
00:12:47.994 --> 00:12:49.562
A night if he could, when he was at home.
00:12:49.562 --> 00:12:52.098
But not only that, he made sure that
00:12:52.098 --> 00:12:55.201
If he kept this pace and rhythm of giving himself a break,
00:12:55.201 --> 00:12:58.771
He wouldn't burn out like many other people
00:12:58.771 --> 00:13:01.107
Because they thought it was cool to pull all nighters.
00:13:01.107 --> 00:13:03.843
Actually it's not.
00:13:03.843 --> 00:13:04.911
And it's not good for your brain health either.
00:13:04.911 --> 00:13:05.945
But he felt like he found that ultimate secret
00:13:05.945 --> 00:13:08.848
And the ultimate hack as an entrepreneur
00:13:08.848 --> 00:13:11.284
And one and everyone else to be in on them on that.
00:13:11.284 --> 00:13:14.587
Can i just
00:13:14.888 --> 00:13:15.922
Read this section that hit me so hard last night
00:13:15.922 --> 00:13:19.192
As i was as i was reading this book, he says.
00:13:19.192 --> 00:13:22.762
It's such a good book, andrew. so good.
00:13:22.762 --> 00:13:25.398
It's like so good, so good.
00:13:25.398 --> 00:13:27.166
I think it's there's just something about i just,
00:13:27.166 --> 00:13:29.836
God has a plan.
00:13:29.836 --> 00:13:30.870
I know you just sometimes i've just read that.
00:13:30.870 --> 00:13:33.206
I know the depth and level
00:13:33.206 --> 00:13:34.908
Of the theology in here is unbelievable.
00:13:34.908 --> 00:13:37.810
Unbelievable. yeah.
00:13:37.810 --> 00:13:38.811
It really took i mean, i'm telling you,
00:13:38.811 --> 00:13:41.214
Resting for charlie took him to the next level.
00:13:41.214 --> 00:13:43.917
And here's what here's what he said.
00:13:43.917 --> 00:13:45.919
To stop utterly, decisively, rhythmically is perhaps
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:50.523
The most radical command god ever gave humanity.
00:13:50.523 --> 00:13:54.193
In a world governed by unrelenting drive
00:13:54.193 --> 00:13:56.529
By the mantras of faster, harder, and more.
00:13:56.529 --> 00:13:59.499
The divine voice says something astonishing stop in his name.
00:13:59.499 --> 00:14:04.537
Cease. cease striving.
00:14:04.537 --> 00:14:06.506
Cease earning.
00:14:06.506 --> 00:14:07.573
Cease proving.
00:14:07.573 --> 00:14:08.474
Cease buying and selling and producing.
00:14:08.474 --> 00:14:10.276
This is not a suggestion.
00:14:10.276 --> 00:14:12.412
It is a divine imperative.
00:14:12.412 --> 00:14:15.214
What did you notice when charlie really put
00:14:15.214 --> 00:14:18.651
This into practice? because i have my own stories.
00:14:18.651 --> 00:14:20.687
But what did you see in charlie?
00:14:20.687 --> 00:14:25.325
Here?
00:14:25.558 --> 00:14:26.492
I mean, he was already amazing husband to me.
00:14:26.492 --> 00:14:29.529
But our love for one
00:14:29.529 --> 00:14:31.864
Another just amplified
00:14:31.864 --> 00:14:34.867
Him and his role as a father amplified.
00:14:35.702 --> 00:14:39.072
He was so intentional with his time to begin with.
00:14:39.072 --> 00:14:41.708
I mean, he he had it down to a millisecond.
00:14:41.708 --> 00:14:44.010
And you guys know that.
00:14:44.010 --> 00:14:45.378
But charlie was so good about making sure
00:14:45.378 --> 00:14:48.014
That his priorities remained, his priorities
00:14:48.014 --> 00:14:51.584
And even just hearing you read those words, andrew,
00:14:51.584 --> 00:14:56.022
Like i have to tell you, like i hear my husband's
00:14:56.022 --> 00:14:58.791
Voice in spirit so much in this book.
00:14:58.791 --> 00:15:01.461
Like i said this morning
00:15:01.461 --> 00:15:03.296
When we were having an interview earlier about this,
00:15:03.296 --> 00:15:06.199
I just he feels so alive with me
00:15:06.199 --> 00:15:09.769
Still when i read these pages,
00:15:09.769 --> 00:15:11.204
Because i feel like he's addressing it to me personally.
00:15:11.204 --> 00:15:14.707
And again, he made sure that when he
00:15:14.707 --> 00:15:18.544
Took the time to rest and and go for a hike
00:15:18.544 --> 00:15:21.414
Or spend some time with the kids or
00:15:21.414 --> 00:15:24.150
Just be able to show the world the rest of the world.
00:15:24.150 --> 00:15:28.354
Yes, i'm charlie kirk, yes, i have these organizations.
00:15:28.354 --> 00:15:31.357
Yes, i have my show.
00:15:31.357 --> 00:15:33.226
But what's the most important to me is god and my family.
00:15:33.226 --> 00:15:37.764
You guys can wait 24 hours if it's an emergency,
00:15:37.764 --> 00:15:41.034
You know how to get ahold of me.
00:15:41.034 --> 00:15:42.335
But you can wait.
00:15:42.335 --> 00:15:43.503
And that's so special.
00:15:43.503 --> 00:15:45.004
Well said.
00:15:45.004 --> 00:15:46.139
We're going to continue on with the great erica kirk.
00:15:46.139 --> 00:15:48.174
Again, the book is stop in the name of god.
00:15:48.174 --> 00:15:50.276
Erica is promoting it, on charlie's behalf in his stead.
00:15:50.276 --> 00:15:54.280
And she's doing a phenomenal job. she has a very busy day.
00:15:54.280 --> 00:15:56.616
So thank you for joining us, erica. we'll be right back
00:15:56.616 --> 00:16:03.222
That christmas morning.
00:16:03.723 --> 00:16:05.324
Wise men brought gifts from outside the holy land.
00:16:05.324 --> 00:16:10.129
But now that the war is over,
00:16:10.763 --> 00:16:13.766
This holy land and her people
00:16:13.766 --> 00:16:15.668
Are still carrying deep wounded.
00:16:15.668 --> 00:16:18.438
Many of the elderly are alone and suffering
00:16:18.438 --> 00:16:22.108
Like the wise men or wise women.
00:16:22.809 --> 00:16:26.045
When you open your heart and give a special holiday food
00:16:26.045 --> 00:16:30.716
Box to someone here in israel
00:16:30.716 --> 00:16:33.419
This christmas chronicles season.
00:16:33.419 --> 00:16:36.489
People like hannah who can't buy food.
00:16:36.489 --> 00:16:40.860
That's where the fellowship is called to feed the hungry.
00:16:40.860 --> 00:16:45.098
Please call, scan or go online now to help rush emergency
00:16:45.098 --> 00:16:49.168
Food and healing to elderly jews
00:16:49.168 --> 00:16:51.270
And their christian neighbors struggling
00:16:51.270 --> 00:16:53.039
To rebuild their lives from the war.
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:55.208
What will happen when we make this holy day season?
00:16:55.208 --> 00:17:00.680
Holy indeed.
00:17:00.680 --> 00:17:03.003
Holy indeed.
00:17:03.003 --> 00:17:09.547
We are talking about.
00:17:10.048 --> 00:17:11.015
Stop in the name of god.
00:17:11.015 --> 00:17:12.817
Charlie's, last book, which breaks my heart,
00:17:12.817 --> 00:17:16.354
Honestly, makes me kind of want to cry every time i say it.
00:17:16.354 --> 00:17:18.790
And i'm trying not to,
00:17:18.790 --> 00:17:19.991
But i'm so proud of erica, who's doing it for her husband.
00:17:19.991 --> 00:17:24.462
She is doing an amazing job,
00:17:24.462 --> 00:17:26.197
Promoting this book in his stead.
00:17:26.197 --> 00:17:28.766
Erica, what does that mean to you?
00:17:28.766 --> 00:17:30.835
You know, just to be out there doing this for charlie
00:17:30.835 --> 00:17:34.973
To spread this word that was so near and dear to him.
00:17:34.973 --> 00:17:39.310
It's really.
00:17:39.644 --> 00:17:40.745
I mean, i'll be honest, andrea,
00:17:40.745 --> 00:17:42.814
I can't finish the last chapter.
00:17:42.814 --> 00:17:45.617
I don't know when i'll be able to.
00:17:46.384 --> 00:17:50.688
It's kind of like when you again, i've said this before.
00:17:50.688 --> 00:17:54.692
You get only so many first and last within one thing.
00:17:54.692 --> 00:18:00.131
And for this book that's united in one for me, meaning it's
00:18:00.131 --> 00:18:05.503
The first time i am reading my husband's last book.
00:18:05.503 --> 00:18:10.208
It's not the last time i'll read the book,
00:18:10.208 --> 00:18:12.010
But it's the first time to read his final words.
00:18:12.010 --> 00:18:15.480
And it's hard to think that
00:18:16.080 --> 00:18:19.184
It's just it's so it's so divine to that.
00:18:19.184 --> 00:18:21.819
Of all of the books that he leaves for us.
00:18:21.819 --> 00:18:25.089
It's not a book about politics.
00:18:25.089 --> 00:18:26.791
It's not a book.
00:18:26.791 --> 00:18:27.458
I mean,
00:18:27.458 --> 00:18:28.026
Although he does talk
00:18:28.026 --> 00:18:28.993
About some things politically within here,
00:18:28.993 --> 00:18:30.495
And he does talk about worshiping idols,
00:18:30.495 --> 00:18:32.330
And he does talk about, you know, different
00:18:32.330 --> 00:18:36.367
Philosophies and theologies
00:18:36.968 --> 00:18:39.404
That have implications towards certain things.
00:18:39.404 --> 00:18:43.474
But he of all the books to write,
00:18:43.474 --> 00:18:47.178
He writes something about honoring god,
00:18:47.178 --> 00:18:50.481
And he writes it in a way where
00:18:51.115 --> 00:18:52.951
He literally became the subject matter expert on it,
00:18:52.951 --> 00:18:57.555
Because he wasn't trying to preach and lecture to you.
00:18:57.555 --> 00:19:00.925
You need to do this.
00:19:00.925 --> 00:19:02.293
He was like, you know what, guys? i did it.
00:19:02.293 --> 00:19:04.395
And this made an impact in my life.
00:19:04.395 --> 00:19:06.731
And these
00:19:06.731 --> 00:19:07.899
These are the final words that i will leave you with.
00:19:07.899 --> 00:19:10.435
He went on campus knowing that communication was key,
00:19:10.435 --> 00:19:14.339
But he also knew that
00:19:14.339 --> 00:19:16.941
If the students, if whoever he was communicating with,
00:19:16.941 --> 00:19:20.612
Also took some time to nourish their soul,
00:19:20.612 --> 00:19:23.648
To nourish their brain, to actually give themselves
00:19:23.648 --> 00:19:26.818
A better night's sleep,
00:19:26.818 --> 00:19:28.453
To take care of themselves holistically, there would be
00:19:28.453 --> 00:19:32.156
Way more of a difference made in this country.
00:19:32.156 --> 00:19:34.959
There would actually be
00:19:34.959 --> 00:19:35.960
Healing in this country if people actually took
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:38.830
Those combined holistically.
00:19:39.430 --> 00:19:41.266
And to me it was it's just charlie being like,
00:19:41.266 --> 00:19:44.869
You know what?
00:19:44.869 --> 00:19:45.903
Stop and pause and rest.
00:19:45.903 --> 00:19:48.006
That doesn't mean you're weak.
00:19:48.006 --> 00:19:49.073
That doesn't mean that,
00:19:49.073 --> 00:19:50.675
You know, it means just take some time for the lord
00:19:50.675 --> 00:19:53.945
And take some time to really just hold into perspective
00:19:53.945 --> 00:19:57.815
What's true and what's beautiful.
00:19:57.815 --> 00:20:00.885
And i almost don't want to ask full of questions after that.
00:20:02.053 --> 00:20:04.422
That's so beautiful.
00:20:04.422 --> 00:20:05.056
But i thought we do have a,
00:20:05.056 --> 00:20:06.424
We have do have three minutes here still erica.
00:20:06.424 --> 00:20:08.993
Yeah.
00:20:08.993 --> 00:20:10.328
Obviously charlie was working on this at home a lot.
00:20:10.328 --> 00:20:12.630
I thought i'd ask, is there anything you've
00:20:12.630 --> 00:20:15.400
Written in the book so far that stands out?
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.236
Oh, i remember that conversation that led to that.
00:20:18.236 --> 00:20:21.306
Or on the flip side.
00:20:21.306 --> 00:20:24.142
On the flip side, is there something
00:20:24.942 --> 00:20:26.544
That you learned,
00:20:26.544 --> 00:20:28.746
To your surprise, while going through reading this book?
00:20:28.746 --> 00:20:31.316
Sorry about that.
00:20:31.316 --> 00:20:32.884
The surprise side is,
00:20:32.884 --> 00:20:34.352
I mean, i knew my husband was brilliant, but
00:20:34.352 --> 00:20:37.155
The the depth of understanding of this topic, was amazing.
00:20:37.155 --> 00:20:42.160
And how he weaves in the bible and how he reads and,
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:45.930
Just weaves in all these different
00:20:45.930 --> 00:20:47.799
Interesting facts and history of the sabbath,
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:51.736
And then even certain laws, like blue laws that we had here
00:20:51.736 --> 00:20:55.907
In this country.
00:20:55.907 --> 00:20:57.175
And how we have changed as an american citizens
00:20:57.175 --> 00:21:02.847
Without having that rest built into our country,
00:21:02.847 --> 00:21:06.351
And how that's actually impacted us
00:21:06.351 --> 00:21:08.753
As a, as a, as a whole, as a body.
00:21:08.753 --> 00:21:11.956
So that that was kind of because i, you know,
00:21:11.956 --> 00:21:14.759
I hear him
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:15.593
Writing about this book and everything
00:21:15.593 --> 00:21:16.594
And he shares certain topics with me,
00:21:16.594 --> 00:21:17.929
But that was really interesting.
00:21:17.929 --> 00:21:19.597
The one thing that was really sweet when he,
00:21:19.597 --> 00:21:22.867
When he at the towards
00:21:22.867 --> 00:21:23.968
The end of the book, he will give you practical ways
00:21:23.968 --> 00:21:26.904
Of applying the sabbath for yourself,
00:21:26.904 --> 00:21:30.575
Whether that means you going for a hike in nature,
00:21:30.575 --> 00:21:33.077
Whether that means you doing something like sunsetting
00:21:33.077 --> 00:21:36.180
Your device where after 5:00 pm the phone's off.
00:21:36.180 --> 00:21:39.283
Just how it used to be.
00:21:39.283 --> 00:21:40.318
Years ago, before there were devices everywhere.
00:21:40.318 --> 00:21:42.487
And once you left the office, that was it.
00:21:42.487 --> 00:21:44.489
But what was really sweet to me is that in there,
00:21:44.489 --> 00:21:46.958
There was something called a sabbath box
00:21:46.958 --> 00:21:50.094
That you can have with your kids,
00:21:50.094 --> 00:21:52.196
And i got to see that with him and my children.
00:21:52.196 --> 00:21:54.265
I mean, they were
00:21:54.265 --> 00:21:55.600
That was such a special bonding time for them. and
00:21:55.600 --> 00:21:59.170
Man, just i, i miss him, you guys.
00:21:59.937 --> 00:22:02.173
I just miss him.
00:22:02.173 --> 00:22:03.908

00:22:59.030 --> 00:23:00.465
Greatest times of need.

With generosity, standing in prayer
00:23:03.468 --> 00:23:05.837
