Charlie Kirk Today | Glenn Beck: September 23, 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | September 23, 2025
- Brought to you in part by the
- 00:00:01.780 --> 00:00:03.482
- International fellowship of christians and jews.
- 00:00:03.482 --> 00:00:14.560
- I remember driving around and as a sophomore
- 00:00:15.494 --> 00:00:17.696
- And junior in high school, listening to a radio program
- 00:00:17.696 --> 00:00:20.732
- In the morning.
- 00:00:20.732 --> 00:00:21.600
- I wasn't there when you gave the speech
- 00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:23.402
- At the lincoln memorial.
- 00:00:23.402 --> 00:00:25.003
- Is that right?
- 00:00:25.003 --> 00:00:28.040
- But i saw it.
- 00:00:28.040 --> 00:00:28.941
- I remember it being simulcast it. and,
- 00:00:28.941 --> 00:00:31.376
- You said some very, i think, prophetic things there.
- 00:00:31.376 --> 00:00:34.313
- I know it.
- 00:00:34.613 --> 00:00:36.381
- He had been looking for the next george washington.
- 00:00:36.381 --> 00:00:40.452
- I can't find him.
- 00:00:40.886 --> 00:00:42.621
- He may be eight years old, but this is the moment.
- 00:00:42.621 --> 00:00:46.091
- And now, 18 year old charlie kirk is saying
- 00:00:46.091 --> 00:00:48.393
- Enough is enough.
- 00:00:48.393 --> 00:00:50.028
- This is charlie kirk reporting from marquette university.
- 00:00:50.028 --> 00:00:53.031
- I like ideas. i don't like politicians.
- 00:00:53.031 --> 00:00:55.601
- I don't like parties, i like principle.
- 00:00:55.601 --> 00:00:57.402
- Do not go quietly when truth is on the line.
- 00:00:57.402 --> 00:01:01.006
- I mean democratic socialism.
- 00:01:01.006 --> 00:01:02.908
- You know the people.
- 00:01:02.908 --> 00:01:03.709
- Social.
- 00:01:03.709 --> 00:01:04.843
- It's socialism, which inherently means the following.
- 00:01:04.843 --> 00:01:07.279
- It is immoral. it is evil. it is impractical.
- 00:01:07.279 --> 00:01:09.581
- Including the right to not surrender to the shadows.
- 00:01:09.581 --> 00:01:13.552
- But i'm here for the silent majority that is silent
- 00:01:14.553 --> 00:01:17.055
- No longer to give them the courage,
- 00:01:17.055 --> 00:01:18.891
- Confidence, and conviction to fight on campuses,
- 00:01:18.891 --> 00:01:22.728
- Even when and especially if.
- 00:01:23.328 --> 00:01:26.899
- You think the battle can no longer be won.
- 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:31.036
- We're not going to allow the ruling class elites,
- 00:01:31.036 --> 00:01:34.173
- The radical left, to continue to destroy this country
- 00:01:34.173 --> 00:01:37.309
- From within.
- 00:01:37.309 --> 00:01:38.410
- And we are a movement here that is growing by leaps
- 00:01:38.410 --> 00:01:40.646
- And by charlie kirk lived that mandate.
- 00:01:40.646 --> 00:01:44.116
- And i believe that marriage is a beautiful thing.
- 00:01:44.116 --> 00:01:46.151
- And i believe that having children
- 00:01:46.151 --> 00:01:47.519
- Is a moral good for society.
- 00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:48.820
- I think he's blessed. oh, and without a doubt,
- 00:01:48.820 --> 00:01:50.422
- I don't think you know the impact.
- 00:01:50.422 --> 00:01:53.091
- You say, oh, glenn, you made an impact in my life.
- 00:01:53.091 --> 00:01:55.827
- Do you realize the impact your having on the country?
- 00:01:55.827 --> 00:01:59.598
- Remember when i did the thing
- 00:01:59.598 --> 00:02:00.599
- In washington, d.c., and restoring honor?
- 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.668
- I do, and i said, somewhere in this crowd,
- 00:02:02.668 --> 00:02:06.538
- Maybe he's seven, maybe he's 15.
- 00:02:06.538 --> 00:02:09.975
- Somewhere in this crowd is the next george washington.
- 00:02:09.975 --> 00:02:12.811
- And 25 years from now,
- 00:02:12.811 --> 00:02:16.582
- He will come
- 00:02:16.915 --> 00:02:17.816
- Not to this stair, but to those stairs.
- 00:02:17.816 --> 00:02:21.453
- We want to overemphasize grace when in reality
- 00:02:21.453 --> 00:02:24.456
- Christ loves us too much
- 00:02:24.456 --> 00:02:27.326
- To have us continue to live in sin.
- 00:02:28.093 --> 00:02:30.229
- He wants us to try to elevate our actions, to glorify
- 00:02:30.229 --> 00:02:33.098
- God in all that we do.
- 00:02:33.098 --> 00:02:34.233
- We to.
- 00:02:34.233 --> 00:02:37.302
- And he can
- 00:02:37.603 --> 00:02:38.470
- Proclaim, i have a new dream.
- 00:02:38.470 --> 00:02:41.740
- I just went to church for the first time in several years.
- 00:02:41.740 --> 00:02:46.445
- Today we went to church
- 00:02:46.445 --> 00:02:47.679
- For the first time in a really long time.
- 00:02:47.679 --> 00:02:50.115
- I have never, ever
- 00:02:50.115 --> 00:02:52.184
- Opened a bible before and something was calling me
- 00:02:52.184 --> 00:02:54.886
- To my husband's bible.
- 00:02:54.886 --> 00:02:56.288
- Here's the line for the second service.
- 00:02:56.288 --> 00:02:58.123
- And there's never a line up.
- 00:02:58.123 --> 00:03:00.392
- Jesus of nazareth and the resurrection is the
- 00:03:00.392 --> 00:03:02.694
- Is the pinpoint of my belief that jesus
- 00:03:02.694 --> 00:03:05.497
- Did rise from the grave so that we may live.
- 00:03:05.497 --> 00:03:08.433
- The light is dimming. yes,
- 00:03:08.433 --> 00:03:11.970
- But it always does.
- 00:03:12.437 --> 00:03:14.106
- Before the dawn.
- 00:03:14.106 --> 00:03:17.509
- I want to talk to you a little bit about the future,
- 00:03:18.543 --> 00:03:21.580
- But i want to talk to you a little bit
- 00:03:21.580 --> 00:03:23.448
- About my friend as well.
- 00:03:23.448 --> 00:03:29.821
- I knew charlie when he was young.
- 00:03:30.522 --> 00:03:34.159
- I first met him.
- 00:03:34.559 --> 00:03:35.227
- I think he was 17 years old.
- 00:03:35.227 --> 00:03:41.366
- He was amazing.
- 00:03:41.733 --> 00:03:44.636
- He was so well read.
- 00:03:45.103 --> 00:03:49.107
- So smart.
- 00:03:49.408 --> 00:03:50.475
- So clear.
- 00:03:50.475 --> 00:03:55.347
- I thought, this is an amazing man.
- 00:03:56.081 --> 00:03:57.616
- I remember the first time i met ben shapiro.
- 00:03:57.616 --> 00:04:00.652
- I think he was 13 years old.
- 00:04:00.652 --> 00:04:02.587
- I interviewed him the first time.
- 00:04:02.587 --> 00:04:05.123
- He was sitting on his family's
- 00:04:05.123 --> 00:04:07.626
- Washing machine doing an interview with me,
- 00:04:07.626 --> 00:04:12.030
- And he said he was on a phone that he used to have.
- 00:04:12.030 --> 00:04:16.101
- It was a hard line.
- 00:04:16.568 --> 00:04:17.436
- So it had the phone wire that
- 00:04:17.436 --> 00:04:20.272
- He had to pull it all the way around, and
- 00:04:20.272 --> 00:04:22.641
- He couldn't keep his sister quiet.
- 00:04:22.641 --> 00:04:25.243
- So he went in and closed it on the phone wire
- 00:04:25.243 --> 00:04:27.813
- And said, on the washing machine, stop it.
- 00:04:27.813 --> 00:04:30.682
- I'm going to be on the glenn beck show.
- 00:04:30.682 --> 00:04:33.752
- And he was impressive.
- 00:04:34.219 --> 00:04:37.189
- But there was something special
- 00:04:37.189 --> 00:04:38.256
- About charlie kirk.
- 00:04:38.256 --> 00:04:43.428
- I want to share a story.
- 00:04:43.962 --> 00:05:01.780
- That.
- 00:05:02.013 --> 00:05:05.884
- I've never shared before.
- 00:05:06.451 --> 00:05:09.554
- And i so regret.
- 00:05:09.955 --> 00:05:12.758
- That we ran out of time.
- 00:05:13.291 --> 00:05:17.929
- It's a story that
- 00:05:18.363 --> 00:05:21.400
- I had hoped to tell charlie myself
- 00:05:21.400 --> 00:05:24.336
- In the next couple of months.
- 00:05:24.970 --> 00:05:31.243
- When i first met charlie.
- 00:05:31.810 --> 00:05:33.912
- And this the kind of guy he was, he was so gracious.
- 00:05:33.912 --> 00:05:36.882
- I first met him.
- 00:05:37.282 --> 00:05:37.983
- He was young.
- 00:05:37.983 --> 00:05:40.719
- And i said, so, what do you want to do?
- 00:05:40.719 --> 00:05:42.654
- What is it you want? what?
- 00:05:42.654 --> 00:05:44.656
- What do you want to do?
- 00:05:44.656 --> 00:05:47.859
- So gracious.
- 00:05:48.193 --> 00:05:49.127
- He said,
- 00:05:49.127 --> 00:05:50.962
- I want to be you.
- 00:05:50.962 --> 00:05:51.863
- I want to do what you do.
- 00:05:51.863 --> 00:05:54.933
- Let me translate.
- 00:05:54.933 --> 00:05:57.002
- I want to be rush limbaugh.
- 00:05:57.002 --> 00:05:59.571
- He didn't want to be me.
- 00:05:59.571 --> 00:06:01.039
- He wanted to be rush limbaugh.
- 00:06:01.039 --> 00:06:02.274
- He wanted to be one of the. as rush said,
- 00:06:02.274 --> 00:06:05.143
- Radio's greatest of all time.
- 00:06:05.777 --> 00:06:10.415
- And i remember thinking, well,
- 00:06:11.016 --> 00:06:14.286
- Kid, maybe someday because i think you have it.
- 00:06:14.286 --> 00:06:20.325
- I brought something with me today
- 00:06:21.092 --> 00:06:23.762
- That i thought was appropriate while i did the show,
- 00:06:23.762 --> 00:06:26.498
- That i would sit in front of charlie's
- 00:06:27.332 --> 00:06:29.835
- Microphone.
- 00:06:29.835 --> 00:06:32.304
- It was given to me after the death
- 00:06:32.304 --> 00:06:34.840
- Of rush limbaugh by his wife.
- 00:06:34.840 --> 00:06:38.410
- It is rush's golden microphone.
- 00:06:39.044 --> 00:06:59.297
- I think it's appropriate.
- 00:06:59.865 --> 00:07:04.169
- That it sits
- 00:07:04.503 --> 00:07:05.337
- In front of charlie's microphone.
- 00:07:05.337 --> 00:07:14.279
- What i would have.
- 00:07:14.713 --> 00:07:17.549
- Said to charlie.
- 00:07:17.549 --> 00:07:26.057
- Was you were thinking too small.
- 00:07:26.791 --> 00:07:32.030
- I want to be rush
- 00:07:32.464 --> 00:07:33.365
- Limbaugh someday.
- 00:07:33.365 --> 00:07:36.334
- I'm a broadcaster.
- 00:07:36.334 --> 00:07:37.369
- Rush was a broadcaster,
- 00:07:37.369 --> 00:07:40.171
- But charlie was a broadcaster
- 00:07:40.171 --> 00:07:41.706
- And a narrow caster.
- 00:07:41.706 --> 00:07:44.676
- Charlie was a pastor and a priest.
- 00:07:44.676 --> 00:07:48.914
- And listening to the way he could argue
- 00:07:48.914 --> 00:07:50.916
- And think differently.
- 00:07:50.916 --> 00:07:52.684
- He was a rabbi as well, and one of the best.
- 00:07:52.684 --> 00:07:56.221
- He was a political organizer.
- 00:07:56.855 --> 00:07:58.723
- He was a political think tank himself.
- 00:07:58.723 --> 00:08:04.763
- He was a compassionate friend.
- 00:08:05.363 --> 00:08:08.800
- He surpassed rush limbaugh.
- 00:08:09.401 --> 00:08:14.839
- By miles.
- 00:08:15.140 --> 00:08:18.209
- We'll continue in a minute.
- 00:08:18.810 --> 00:08:24.449
- In genesis
- 00:08:24.749 --> 00:08:25.650
- 12 three, god made a powerful promise
- 00:08:25.650 --> 00:08:28.286
- To abraham, the father of the jewish people.
- 00:08:28.286 --> 00:08:31.489
- I will bless those who bless you.
- 00:08:31.489 --> 00:08:34.693
- The christian bible tells us
- 00:08:34.693 --> 00:08:36.227
- That we have been grafted into god's family tree.
- 00:08:36.227 --> 00:08:39.197

- 00:08:44.002 --> 00:08:46.605
- The messiah, are deeply rooted in israel.
- 00:08:46.605 --> 00:08:50.075
- Supporting israel aligns christians with god's
- 00:08:50.075 --> 00:08:52.711
- Prophetic timeline.
- 00:08:52.711 --> 00:08:54.079
- It demonstrates our willingness to be instruments of
- 00:08:54.079 --> 00:08:57.315
- God's blessing, uplifting his chosen people,
- 00:08:57.315 --> 00:09:00.885
- And it calls us to confront and heal
- 00:09:00.885 --> 00:09:03.188
- The centuries old wounds of anti-semitism.
- 00:09:03.188 --> 00:09:06.224

- 00:10:09.522 --> 00:10:12.725
- Yeah, we're probably about
- 00:10:12.725 --> 00:10:15.494
- Two hours or so out from,
- 00:10:15.494 --> 00:10:18.798
- You know, the the exact time
- 00:10:19.398 --> 00:10:21.100
- Of being a week.
- 00:10:21.100 --> 00:10:24.236
- How are you doing.
- 00:10:24.236 --> 00:10:25.137
- How's everybody at turning point. doing.
- 00:10:25.137 --> 00:10:27.373
- Well after you made everybody bawl their eyes out.
- 00:10:27.373 --> 00:10:30.609
- In your first segment in your open glenn.
- 00:10:30.609 --> 00:10:33.179
- And i mean,
- 00:10:33.179 --> 00:10:35.114
- I just, i have to say thank you for that.
- 00:10:35.114 --> 00:10:37.516
- I, i can't even believe i'm
- 00:10:37.516 --> 00:10:40.419
- Seated so close to russia's golden eib microphone.
- 00:10:40.419 --> 00:10:44.056
- It's crazy.
- 00:10:44.056 --> 00:10:44.657
- And charlie and i,
- 00:10:44.657 --> 00:10:47.026
- I can't say how many times we said the golden eib.
- 00:10:47.026 --> 00:10:50.229
- Mike. yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 00:10:50.229 --> 00:10:51.964
- And it you it was beautiful.
- 00:10:51.964 --> 00:10:54.333
- We were all crying out in the control room and
- 00:10:54.333 --> 00:10:57.470
- So i am right now in this moment, very emotional.
- 00:10:57.470 --> 00:11:01.574
- And i know that you watched his story grow and that tribute
- 00:11:01.574 --> 00:11:06.178
- About the the next george washington and, and how he was
- 00:11:06.178 --> 00:11:10.216
- Charlie was so aware of that speech you gave
- 00:11:10.216 --> 00:11:12.685
- And he wasn't there in person, but he watched.
- 00:11:12.685 --> 00:11:14.120
- Yeah, he watched it.
- 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:15.287
- Somewhere else, live and,
- 00:11:15.287 --> 00:11:19.658
- I, i, i'm, i'm right now, i don't have many words
- 00:11:19.658 --> 00:11:22.661
- Because of how moving that was.
- 00:11:22.661 --> 00:11:24.196
- Guys, you know,
- 00:11:24.196 --> 00:11:26.031
- I said the other day, and i don't mean this.
- 00:11:26.966 --> 00:11:29.502
- I mean.
- 00:11:29.502 --> 00:11:32.638
- I'm not saying this
- 00:11:33.105 --> 00:11:34.373
- To self-aggrandizing, at all,
- 00:11:34.373 --> 00:11:38.210
- But i looked at him
- 00:11:38.677 --> 00:11:41.947
- Almost like a professional son, you know what i mean?
- 00:11:41.947 --> 00:11:47.153
- I looked at him, and because i watched him
- 00:11:47.153 --> 00:11:49.722
- From a distance and i.
- 00:11:49.722 --> 00:11:51.690
- And i saw him young,
- 00:11:51.690 --> 00:11:54.760
- And i saw his desires
- 00:11:54.760 --> 00:11:57.263
- And how he built and everything that he did.
- 00:11:57.263 --> 00:12:00.132
- And as i was thinking
- 00:12:00.132 --> 00:12:01.867
- About as i packed that microphone up yesterday, i,
- 00:12:01.867 --> 00:12:05.471
- I was seeing about him and i thought.
- 00:12:05.471 --> 00:12:09.341
- Charlie would have been president.
- 00:12:10.075 --> 00:12:12.311
- Yeah, charlie would have been president.
- 00:12:12.311 --> 00:12:14.146
- Rush wasn't president.
- 00:12:14.146 --> 00:12:15.414
- Rush didn't have a desire to be president.
- 00:12:15.414 --> 00:12:17.082
- And i don't know if rush would have made a good
- 00:12:17.082 --> 00:12:18.684
- I'd make a horrible president. i don't know.
- 00:12:18.684 --> 00:12:20.786
- Rush would have been a better president than me.
- 00:12:20.786 --> 00:12:22.955
- Charlie could have been a great president.
- 00:12:22.955 --> 00:12:25.991
- He he he surpassed all of us.
- 00:12:26.625 --> 00:12:31.096
- I don't know if there's another person in history
- 00:12:31.096 --> 00:12:34.366
- On our side, at least in the last 150 years,
- 00:12:34.366 --> 00:12:38.537
- That was like charlie.
- 00:12:39.004 --> 00:12:40.606
- To replace charlie, you need maybe
- 00:12:40.606 --> 00:12:43.542
- Six people at the top
- 00:12:43.542 --> 00:12:45.711
- Of their craft to cover everything that he has done.
- 00:12:45.711 --> 00:12:48.881
- Yeah. you know,
- 00:12:49.248 --> 00:12:52.017
- I can't tell you how many times i was
- 00:12:52.017 --> 00:12:53.385
- With charlie and people would beg him,
- 00:12:53.385 --> 00:12:55.087
- You have to run for president. you have to run for president.
- 00:12:55.087 --> 00:12:57.056
- And charlie would always,
- 00:12:57.056 --> 00:12:58.457
- You know, say, no, no, no,
- 00:12:58.457 --> 00:12:59.658
- I'm i'm happy doing what i'm doing.
- 00:12:59.658 --> 00:13:01.527
- And i will say, charlie was the existence of j.d.
- 00:13:01.527 --> 00:13:05.531
- Vance, gave charlie a lot of emotional freedom
- 00:13:05.531 --> 00:13:10.069
- To say that next man up is j.d..
- 00:13:10.069 --> 00:13:12.304
- Our job is to support j.d.. yeah.
- 00:13:12.304 --> 00:13:14.640
- And i, you know, we wouldn't necessarily be loud and proud
- 00:13:14.640 --> 00:13:18.210
- About that on the show
- 00:13:18.210 --> 00:13:19.211
- Because we understand there's dynamics.
- 00:13:19.211 --> 00:13:20.646
- Yeah, but, you know, charlie was in so many ways
- 00:13:20.646 --> 00:13:25.517
- Being honed and sharpened,
- 00:13:26.085 --> 00:13:28.587
- And he was, yeah, for such a job.
- 00:13:28.587 --> 00:13:31.790
- And there was a difference in him in ten years.
- 00:13:31.790 --> 00:13:34.360
- Yeah. 15 years. look at the difference.
- 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:36.462
- Hey, can you imagine if he had ten more years
- 00:13:36.462 --> 00:13:38.130
- And ten more years sharpening? oh my gosh.
- 00:13:38.130 --> 00:13:40.132
- I mean, and people need to understand that.
- 00:13:40.132 --> 00:13:42.201
- Yes, charlie was a brilliant communicator. yes.
- 00:13:42.201 --> 00:13:43.969
- He was an autodidact who kept studying the classics
- 00:13:43.969 --> 00:13:47.206
- And political
- 00:13:47.206 --> 00:13:48.340
- And philosophy and theology and all of these things.
- 00:13:48.340 --> 00:13:50.476
- And he was deeply, deeply sincere in his faith.
- 00:13:50.476 --> 00:13:53.412
- But he was also so skilled
- 00:13:53.412 --> 00:13:56.015
- At the quiet things, the behind the scenes things.
- 00:13:56.015 --> 00:13:59.018
- And he would honor people.
- 00:13:59.018 --> 00:14:00.452
- He was trusted.
- 00:14:00.452 --> 00:14:01.787
- If you got
- 00:14:01.787 --> 00:14:02.821
- Into a heated discussion in private with charlie,
- 00:14:02.821 --> 00:14:05.057
- Nobody would ever hear about that.
- 00:14:05.057 --> 00:14:06.659
- If anything happened, he because his goal was to keep
- 00:14:06.659 --> 00:14:09.929
- People together.
- 00:14:09.929 --> 00:14:10.596
- He understood that
- 00:14:10.596 --> 00:14:11.864
- There are so many forces in our world, in our politics,
- 00:14:11.864 --> 00:14:14.400
- That are ripping everybody apart.
- 00:14:14.400 --> 00:14:16.001
- And i said this,
- 00:14:16.001 --> 00:14:16.969
- I said this yesterday, but it bears repeating.
- 00:14:16.969 --> 00:14:19.538
- He just a few weeks before his death, he sent me
- 00:14:19.538 --> 00:14:22.074
- This hierarchy of what the greeks considered
- 00:14:22.074 --> 00:14:24.910
- To be the highest virtues and the highest callings.
- 00:14:24.910 --> 00:14:27.813
- And he said to me, he said, andrew, we are not
- 00:14:27.813 --> 00:14:31.617
- The actors and the entertainers that are at the bottom.
- 00:14:31.617 --> 00:14:34.119
- That's how the greeks put it.
- 00:14:34.119 --> 00:14:35.821
- He said.
- 00:14:35.821 --> 00:14:36.889
- We need to strive to be statesmen and philosophers
- 00:14:36.889 --> 00:14:39.792
- Up at the top and theologians.
- 00:14:39.792 --> 00:14:42.294
- And he said, this is what we're trying to be,
- 00:14:42.294 --> 00:14:44.263
- Not that anybody could do that.
- 00:14:44.263 --> 00:14:45.998
- Not everybody can do that.
- 00:14:45.998 --> 00:14:47.099
- And god, he knew that god had put him in a position
- 00:14:47.099 --> 00:14:50.536
- That he could keep people together.
- 00:14:50.536 --> 00:14:52.871
- And so,
- 00:14:52.871 --> 00:14:54.039
- You know, there would be times where everybody wanted us
- 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:55.774
- To go all in on this story or go all in on that.
- 00:14:55.774 --> 00:14:58.277
- And charlie saw three steps ahead all the time.
- 00:14:58.277 --> 00:15:01.180
- He was always thinking long term,
- 00:15:01.180 --> 00:15:02.414
- What will that do to the movement?
- 00:15:02.414 --> 00:15:04.049
- And so he would craft his messaging and his strategy.
- 00:15:04.049 --> 00:15:07.853
- And you know who we invited to what you know, around
- 00:15:07.853 --> 00:15:10.990
- How do you
- 00:15:10.990 --> 00:15:11.790
- How do you manage this current moment
- 00:15:11.790 --> 00:15:13.392
- So that everybody is still a part of this thing?
- 00:15:13.392 --> 00:15:16.962
- I can't thank you enough for inviting us.
- 00:15:17.863 --> 00:15:20.199
- I could be here.
- 00:15:20.199 --> 00:15:20.833
- We are enough for coming.
- 00:15:20.833 --> 00:15:22.401
- No, i mean, it is an honor.
- 00:15:22.401 --> 00:15:24.269
- I called stu yesterday,
- 00:15:24.269 --> 00:15:25.571
- And i said, stu, you should come with me.
- 00:15:25.571 --> 00:15:26.939
- And he said this.
- 00:15:26.939 --> 00:15:27.573
- This is history in the making.
- 00:15:27.573 --> 00:15:30.042
- I mean, it's an honor to be here.
- 00:15:30.042 --> 00:15:32.044
- Yeah, well, you honor us and your beautiful tribute
- 00:15:32.044 --> 00:15:34.780
- And open to him.

- 00:17:24.692 --> 00:17:27.461
- Because i think a lot of people
- 00:17:27.461 --> 00:17:28.829
- Right now have that moment where they're so thankful
- 00:17:28.829 --> 00:17:31.732
- For everything that charlie had done and
- 00:17:31.732 --> 00:17:33.367
- And appreciated his approach to everything.
- 00:17:33.367 --> 00:17:35.269
- This open approach, open debate.
- 00:17:35.269 --> 00:17:38.072
- And they want to continue that approach.
- 00:17:38.072 --> 00:17:41.742
- I do think there's also a lot of people who look at it
- 00:17:41.742 --> 00:17:44.011
- And say
- 00:17:44.011 --> 00:17:45.212
- Everything that charlie tried to do,
- 00:17:45.212 --> 00:17:47.214
- Look at what's the price he paid and
- 00:17:47.214 --> 00:17:50.084
- We can't just do that anymore.
- 00:17:50.084 --> 00:17:51.652
- We have to go farther. we have to change this.
- 00:17:51.652 --> 00:17:53.988
- We have to.
- 00:17:53.988 --> 00:17:55.156
- There's a there's a righteous anger that people want to,
- 00:17:55.156 --> 00:17:58.325
- To to move upon the righteous anger.
- 00:17:58.325 --> 00:18:02.029
- So the righteous anger that is righteous and right
- 00:18:02.029 --> 00:18:04.965
- And natural, i mean, it is one of the phases of grief.
- 00:18:04.965 --> 00:18:08.536
- And we went through the phase,
- 00:18:08.536 --> 00:18:10.237
- The first phase, you know, day one denial.
- 00:18:10.237 --> 00:18:13.440
- I mean, we saw the video,
- 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:15.609
- I did, unfortunately, i saw the video
- 00:18:15.609 --> 00:18:17.311
- And i called a surgeon friend of mine right away,
- 00:18:17.311 --> 00:18:19.680
- And i sent him the video and i said, is there any way?
- 00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:21.549
- And he's like, you know, the no way, no way.
- 00:18:21.549 --> 00:18:24.618
- And yet for two hours,
- 00:18:24.618 --> 00:18:27.087
- I was on the air with megan kelly and i was saying, well,
- 00:18:27.087 --> 00:18:30.191
- No, there's there's there's a chance.
- 00:18:30.191 --> 00:18:31.859
- There's a chance.
- 00:18:31.859 --> 00:18:33.060
- Because i wanted to believe that anger is part of that.
- 00:18:33.060 --> 00:18:37.031
- And we're going to go through it.
- 00:18:37.031 --> 00:18:38.866
- But i have been so amazed and so proud of our side.
- 00:18:38.866 --> 00:18:42.937
- Look how many people have gone to church for the first time.
- 00:18:42.937 --> 00:18:45.239
- See, this is the difference.
- 00:18:45.239 --> 00:18:46.240
- Charlie wasn't just a political guy.
- 00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:48.709
- Charlie was an evangelical preacher.
- 00:18:48.709 --> 00:18:52.346
- In the end, and he was talking about
- 00:18:52.346 --> 00:18:55.849
- Universal things and things that people are starving for.
- 00:18:55.849 --> 00:18:58.652
- And look at the yeah,
- 00:18:58.652 --> 00:19:00.354
- Look at the god movement that is happening.
- 00:19:00.354 --> 00:19:02.756
- He short circuited a lot of stuff.
- 00:19:02.756 --> 00:19:05.526
- And now god is moving with his people.
- 00:19:05.526 --> 00:19:10.164
- And i find that extraordinarily optimistic.
- 00:19:10.164 --> 00:19:12.933
- I think what we have to be careful of is, you know,
- 00:19:12.933 --> 00:19:17.338
- I worry i'll start to worry about the people of usa.
- 00:19:17.338 --> 00:19:20.741
- I mean, we've already been praying for you,
- 00:19:20.741 --> 00:19:22.376
- But i'm going to start worrying
- 00:19:22.376 --> 00:19:23.477
- About you next week, in the week after,
- 00:19:23.477 --> 00:19:25.813
- Because i've had enough people in my life die.
- 00:19:25.813 --> 00:19:28.682
- Once company goes home,
- 00:19:28.682 --> 00:19:30.150
- Then you're left alone with the reality.
- 00:19:30.150 --> 00:19:32.753
- And that's when that that despair
- 00:19:32.753 --> 00:19:36.156
- Or hopelessness can start to play games with you.
- 00:19:36.156 --> 00:19:39.760
- Don't let it. i mean, there is
- 00:19:39.760 --> 00:19:41.729
- You know, this hate
- 00:19:42.196 --> 00:19:43.297
- Speech debate, charlie wouldn't have been for that.
- 00:19:43.297 --> 00:19:46.033
- Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever know
- 00:19:46.033 --> 00:19:48.402
- That he tweeted explicitly about hate speech.
- 00:19:48.402 --> 00:19:51.905
- There is no such thing as hate speech.
- 00:19:51.905 --> 00:19:54.241
- There is speech. there's uncomfortable speech.
- 00:19:54.241 --> 00:19:56.310
- There's evil speech. there's bad speech.
- 00:19:56.310 --> 00:19:58.712
- There's speech you don't like at all.
- 00:19:58.712 --> 00:20:00.648
- There's speech
- 00:20:00.648 --> 00:20:01.715
- You would just want to say to somebody, shut up!
- 00:20:01.715 --> 00:20:04.451
- But there's no such thing as hate speech.
- 00:20:04.451 --> 00:20:06.287
- There is no legal position for in this country,
- 00:20:06.287 --> 00:20:09.990
- The only kind of speech that requires protection
- 00:20:09.990 --> 00:20:13.594
- Is the kind of speech that everybody hates.
- 00:20:13.594 --> 00:20:17.131
- So there is no place for hate speech.
- 00:20:17.931 --> 00:20:20.834
- And it bothers me.
- 00:20:20.834 --> 00:20:22.636
- This pam bondi
- 00:20:22.636 --> 00:20:23.671
- Movement, of going after people with hate speech.
- 00:20:23.671 --> 00:20:27.274
- No, we don't do that.
- 00:20:27.274 --> 00:20:29.510
- You have a right to speak.
- 00:20:29.510 --> 00:20:31.712
- And i will fight to my dying breath for your right
- 00:20:31.712 --> 00:20:35.082
- To say what you believe.
- 00:20:35.082 --> 00:20:37.217
- I don't
- 00:20:37.217 --> 00:20:38.085
- I don't necessarily agree with you,
- 00:20:38.085 --> 00:20:39.687
- But it's more important for me to fight for your right
- 00:20:39.687 --> 00:20:42.423
- Of freedom of speech.
- 00:20:42.423 --> 00:20:43.524
- If i don't agree with you.
- 00:20:43.524 --> 00:20:45.859
- I don't need to fight for
- 00:20:46.427 --> 00:20:48.062
- Freedom of speech that agrees with me.
- 00:20:48.062 --> 00:20:51.265
- I want to tell you something that
- 00:20:51.265 --> 00:20:52.633
- Charlie and i spoke about.
- 00:20:52.633 --> 00:20:57.971
- I have been saying for a while
- 00:20:58.572 --> 00:21:01.008
- Now because i've been tracking this since, really
- 00:21:01.008 --> 00:21:04.178
- 2004, 2005.
- 00:21:04.178 --> 00:21:06.947
- I've been tracking this slide into marxism
- 00:21:06.947 --> 00:21:10.517
- And communism, socialism, radicalism.
- 00:21:10.517 --> 00:21:13.721
- And, and i studied revolution
- 00:21:14.355 --> 00:21:18.926
- All over the world, to see how does it happen
- 00:21:18.926 --> 00:21:23.130
- And play.
- 00:21:23.430 --> 00:21:25.666
- Cut. 353.
- 00:21:25.666 --> 00:21:27.501
- This is may of 2024.
- 00:21:27.501 --> 00:21:31.004
- Listen to this.
- 00:21:31.004 --> 00:21:32.239
- You and i both know, and i hate to even
- 00:21:32.239 --> 00:21:35.442
- Address stuff like this, but you and i both know
- 00:21:35.442 --> 00:21:38.846
- There are those people, and i don't know who they are.
- 00:21:38.846 --> 00:21:41.682
- And i don't know how many there are,
- 00:21:41.682 --> 00:21:43.384
- But there are those people
- 00:21:43.384 --> 00:21:44.551
- That hate donald trump so much because they will destroy.
- 00:21:44.551 --> 00:21:48.455
- Because he will destroy their plans for a new world order.
- 00:21:48.455 --> 00:21:52.793
- They will.
- 00:21:53.093 --> 00:21:54.695
- They would at least consider
- 00:21:54.695 --> 00:21:57.131
- An actual assassination if this doesn't work.
- 00:21:57.131 --> 00:22:01.101
- When i talked about assassinating the president
- 00:22:01.101 --> 00:22:03.237
- Or attempted
- 00:22:03.237 --> 00:22:04.471
- Assassination of the president, i was always very hesitant,
- 00:22:04.471 --> 00:22:07.241
- Because i just always want to be very, very careful
- 00:22:07.241 --> 00:22:10.744
- On what you say, about a president or a candidate.
- 00:22:10.744 --> 00:22:15.682
- But i knew they were coming because that's
- 00:22:16.550 --> 00:22:18.185
- What happened in the 1960s, and everything had been repeated
- 00:22:18.185 --> 00:22:21.822
- And and charlie and i and one, one day,
- 00:22:21.822 --> 00:22:25.259
- Maybe 2018 or 2019, i can't remember.
- 00:22:25.259 --> 00:22:28.128
- He said what's coming next?
- 00:22:28.128 --> 00:22:30.063
- And we were on this balcony in miami,
- 00:22:30.063 --> 00:22:33.600
- And it was just the two of us,
- 00:22:33.600 --> 00:22:34.835
- And we had a really amazing conversation about
- 00:22:34.835 --> 00:22:37.638
- What was what, what our responsibilities were
- 00:22:37.638 --> 00:22:41.008
- And what we had to look out for.
- 00:22:41.008 --> 00:22:42.810
- And he said, what is coming next?
- 00:22:42.810 --> 00:22:44.511
- And i said, charlie, assassinations.
- 00:22:44.511 --> 00:22:46.313
- And i he said, how do you see that?
- 00:22:46.313 --> 00:22:48.449
- And i said, well,
- 00:22:48.449 --> 00:22:49.416
- Donald trump is probably the biggest target,
- 00:22:49.416 --> 00:22:52.085
- But i don't know, i don't know, i mean, you know, last time
- 00:22:52.085 --> 00:22:55.189
- In the 60s, it was malcolm x, it was rfk and it was mlk.
- 00:22:55.189 --> 00:23:00.828
- And there were three of them.
- 00:23:00.828 --> 00:23:02.429
- And, with an exception of rfk, they were just
- 00:23:02.429 --> 00:23:07.868
- They were people that were, you know,
- 00:23:07.868 --> 00:23:10.804
- In the arena, if you will.
- 00:23:10.804 --> 00:23:13.507
- And so charlie and i talked about, you know,
- 00:23:13.507 --> 00:23:16.210
- What do we what do we do if that starts happening?
- 00:23:16.210 --> 00:23:19.413
- And that's why i am so happy to see the way people
- 00:23:19.413 --> 00:23:23.484
- That knew charlie loved charlie
- 00:23:24.117 --> 00:23:26.987
- Worked with charlie, were part of tp, usa.
- 00:23:26.987 --> 00:23:30.657
- They were just fans of charlie.
- 00:23:30.657 --> 00:23:32.326
- I think everybody felt like
- 00:23:32.326 --> 00:23:33.327
- They knew him because he was so personal.
- 00:23:33.327 --> 00:23:34.728
- But, the way everybody is reacting,
- 00:23:34.728 --> 00:23:40.200
- The poverty is unimaginable.
- 00:23:40.801 --> 00:23:44.171
- There are people who are struggling.
- 00:23:44.171 --> 00:23:47.140
- Those who are hungry.
- 00:23:47.641 --> 00:23:49.076
- Forgotten jews.
- 00:23:49.076 --> 00:23:50.777
- Scripture says joy can come in the morning.
- 00:23:50.777 --> 00:23:53.647
- And you can be the reason.
- 00:23:53.647 --> 00:23:55.349
- Bless these hurting children of israel.
- 00:23:55.349 --> 00:23:57.985
- Your urgent gift today of $25 will help rush
- 00:23:57.985 --> 00:24:01.955
- A survival food box filled with life saving essentials.
- 00:24:01.955 --> 00:24:05.726
- Tens of thousands of elderly holocaust survivors
- 00:24:05.726 --> 00:24:08.695
- In the former soviet union are living in extreme poverty.
- 00:24:08.695 --> 00:24:12.566
- Hungry
- 00:24:12.766 --> 00:24:13.534
- For god? the truly international
- 00:24:13.534 --> 00:24:15.502
- Fellowship of christians and jews.
- 00:24:15.502 --> 00:24:17.304
- We can bring hope.
- 00:24:17.304 --> 00:24:19.039
- It's my favorite food.
- 00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:21.808
- May you be blessed.
- 00:24:21.808 --> 00:24:21.808
