Charlie Kirk Today | Nick Freitas: September 18, 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | September 18, 2025
- Brought to you in part by the
- 00:00:00.790 --> 00:00:02.492
- International fellowship of christians and jews.
- 00:00:02.492 --> 00:00:15.271
- Hello, everyone.
- 00:00:15.672 --> 00:00:16.873
- I'm nick freitas, and today i am filling in for charlie
- 00:00:16.873 --> 00:00:20.677
- Kirk.
- 00:00:20.677 --> 00:00:22.011
- And, i take that responsibility
- 00:00:22.011 --> 00:00:24.647
- Very seriously because this is his show,
- 00:00:24.647 --> 00:00:27.851
- And i'm speaking to an audience that he created, that
- 00:00:27.851 --> 00:00:30.286
- He mentored, that he provided a great deal of encouragement
- 00:00:30.286 --> 00:00:33.723
- And instruction to over the years.
- 00:00:33.723 --> 00:00:36.192
- And so i hope i do him justice.
- 00:00:36.192 --> 00:00:39.662
- It's interesting that literally right
- 00:00:39.662 --> 00:00:41.431
- Before we started recording,
- 00:00:41.431 --> 00:00:44.601
- I got a text from my mom who's who's on the west coast.
- 00:00:44.601 --> 00:00:48.304
- So it's pretty early for her.
- 00:00:48.304 --> 00:00:49.739
- She goes praying for you right now
- 00:00:49.739 --> 00:00:51.107
- That god will give you the right message
- 00:00:51.107 --> 00:00:52.709
- And the right words
- 00:00:52.709 --> 00:00:53.776
- And the right heart to share what needs to be shared
- 00:00:53.776 --> 00:00:56.012
- This morning, as you record for the charlie kirk show,
- 00:00:56.012 --> 00:00:59.782
- That many will come
- 00:00:59.782 --> 00:01:00.750
- To understand his mission and his message,
- 00:01:00.750 --> 00:01:03.019
- And comes to know jesus as lord and savior.
- 00:01:03.019 --> 00:01:06.890
- I don't think,
- 00:01:07.223 --> 00:01:09.159
- I don't think anyone could have said it better.
- 00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:11.094
- So that's one of my attempt to do
- 00:01:11.094 --> 00:01:13.796
- Now over the last several days.
- 00:01:13.796 --> 00:01:17.467
- Probably the most common question i've been getting
- 00:01:17.467 --> 00:01:20.170
- Is, what do we do now?
- 00:01:20.170 --> 00:01:23.373
- And it is an excellent question
- 00:01:23.373 --> 00:01:26.576
- Because there is no replacing charlie kirk.
- 00:01:26.576 --> 00:01:29.579
- Charlie kirk had been given a very unique
- 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:32.849
- And special mission because he was the sort of man
- 00:01:32.849 --> 00:01:35.952
- That understood that his primary job
- 00:01:35.952 --> 00:01:38.721
- Was not to go out
- 00:01:39.155 --> 00:01:40.123
- And do what he thought was right,
- 00:01:40.123 --> 00:01:41.491
- And then to ask god to join him,
- 00:01:41.491 --> 00:01:43.026
- But to ask god what he was doing,
- 00:01:43.026 --> 00:01:45.228
- And then to join
- 00:01:45.228 --> 00:01:46.296
- God in the mission that he had set out before him.
- 00:01:46.296 --> 00:01:48.731
- And i think charlie executed that beautifully.
- 00:01:48.731 --> 00:01:51.334
- So i am going to talk about what i think
- 00:01:52.202 --> 00:01:54.437
- We need to do next.
- 00:01:54.437 --> 00:01:56.306
- And there's actually two questions in that,
- 00:01:56.306 --> 00:01:57.774
- Because when we say, what do we need to do?
- 00:01:57.774 --> 00:01:59.609
- The first question
- 00:01:59.609 --> 00:02:00.643
- We need to be asking is, what do i need to do?
- 00:02:00.643 --> 00:02:03.413
- And then we need to talk about what we do in concert
- 00:02:03.413 --> 00:02:06.049
- With others that have come
- 00:02:06.049 --> 00:02:07.116
- To the same conclusions and have the same mission.
- 00:02:07.116 --> 00:02:10.520
- But before i do that,
- 00:02:11.020 --> 00:02:12.722
- I've got to be honest about something,
- 00:02:12.722 --> 00:02:14.123
- And in some way i need to repent of something
- 00:02:14.123 --> 00:02:17.227
- Because for the last several days,
- 00:02:17.994 --> 00:02:19.996
- I have been going back and forth between grief
- 00:02:19.996 --> 00:02:24.601
- And anger.
- 00:02:24.901 --> 00:02:26.569
- And i don't apologize for grieving,
- 00:02:26.569 --> 00:02:28.571
- And i don't apologize for anger
- 00:02:28.571 --> 00:02:30.039
- Because i think the grieving is necessary,
- 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.242
- And i think the anger is justified.
- 00:02:32.242 --> 00:02:35.511
- But i would be lying if i
- 00:02:36.079 --> 00:02:37.113
- Didn't admit that in moments of my anger,
- 00:02:37.113 --> 00:02:39.649
- I have gone to some dark places.
- 00:02:39.649 --> 00:02:42.218
- And one of the things i had to remember
- 00:02:42.218 --> 00:02:45.688
- Was that charlie's mission was so much bigger
- 00:02:46.623 --> 00:02:48.458
- Than the political.
- 00:02:48.458 --> 00:02:50.226
- It was so much bigger than the temporal.
- 00:02:50.226 --> 00:02:54.230
- Charlie
- 00:02:54.464 --> 00:02:55.164
- Yearned for the transcendent.
- 00:02:55.164 --> 00:02:57.567
- He pointed people toward god.
- 00:02:57.567 --> 00:02:59.102
- He pointed people toward christ.
- 00:02:59.102 --> 00:03:02.272
- And how was i going to do that
- 00:03:02.872 --> 00:03:05.208
- If i was starting to spend
- 00:03:05.208 --> 00:03:06.743
- Every waking moment
- 00:03:06.743 --> 00:03:09.545
- Thinking about what i would do
- 00:03:09.545 --> 00:03:12.181
- To the people that hurt charlie,
- 00:03:12.181 --> 00:03:14.250
- To the people that reveled
- 00:03:14.250 --> 00:03:16.286
- In charlie's death.
- 00:03:16.286 --> 00:03:19.055
- And so i'm going to remember
- 00:03:19.656 --> 00:03:22.558
- On this show, i'm going to remember
- 00:03:22.558 --> 00:03:25.962
- For the rest of my life the obligation i have to god
- 00:03:25.962 --> 00:03:28.865
- And the obligation i have to charlie's legacy.
- 00:03:29.832 --> 00:03:32.001
- If i'm someone that wants to see it continued
- 00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:34.404
- In the way that charlie so nobly carried it out.
- 00:03:34.404 --> 00:03:38.808
- But if i didn't admit to you that that's
- 00:03:39.642 --> 00:03:41.044
- What i was thinking,
- 00:03:41.044 --> 00:03:43.079
- I'd probably feel like a fraud, because i know a lot of other
- 00:03:43.079 --> 00:03:46.716
- People have been thinking it as well.
- 00:03:46.716 --> 00:03:50.453
- But one of the most important things that we have to do,
- 00:03:50.453 --> 00:03:52.955
- And one of the things
- 00:03:52.955 --> 00:03:53.589
- I learned as a green beret
- 00:03:53.589 --> 00:03:54.691
- Is that if you're going to operate
- 00:03:54.691 --> 00:03:55.858
- And if you're going to operate effectively,
- 00:03:55.858 --> 00:03:58.161
- You have to understand your operational environment.
- 00:03:58.161 --> 00:04:02.632
- Now there's a, an individual
- 00:04:03.232 --> 00:04:06.636
- We probably have to familiarize myself with on some level,
- 00:04:06.636 --> 00:04:09.839
- Or at least the tactics that he taught about.
- 00:04:09.839 --> 00:04:13.176
- And that individual is saul alinsky.
- 00:04:13.176 --> 00:04:15.712
- Saul alinsky wrote a book called rules for radicals,
- 00:04:15.712 --> 00:04:18.581
- And this became
- 00:04:18.948 --> 00:04:19.982
- Something of a manual for left wing agitation.
- 00:04:19.982 --> 00:04:23.052
- And it wasn't just
- 00:04:23.486 --> 00:04:24.420
- The far off fringes that read this book.
- 00:04:24.420 --> 00:04:27.123
- It was highly influential on people as prominent
- 00:04:27.123 --> 00:04:29.726
- And mainstream as hillary clinton and barack obama.
- 00:04:29.726 --> 00:04:32.528
- And when you read that book,
- 00:04:33.129 --> 00:04:34.831
- You start to make sense
- 00:04:34.831 --> 00:04:37.467
- Of the tactics that are used against us.
- 00:04:37.467 --> 00:04:39.168
- And one of the things that saul alinsky used to write about
- 00:04:39.168 --> 00:04:42.105
- Was the idea of using the other side's morality,
- 00:04:42.105 --> 00:04:45.308
- Using the other side's rules against them.
- 00:04:45.308 --> 00:04:48.878
- In fact, there's a phrase
- 00:04:49.445 --> 00:04:51.547
- That has been coined to describe
- 00:04:51.547 --> 00:04:54.050
- One of the tactics used to implement this strategy,
- 00:04:54.050 --> 00:04:57.954
- And that is that their action is our reaction.
- 00:04:58.921 --> 00:05:02.392
- Now, what's meant by that?
- 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:04.727
- What's meant is that they will engage
- 00:05:04.727 --> 00:05:07.397
- In a process of poking, of prodding,
- 00:05:07.397 --> 00:05:09.999
- And they will continue
- 00:05:09.999 --> 00:05:11.300
- To turn up the temperature and elevate it
- 00:05:11.300 --> 00:05:14.137
- Until all of a sudden, we react in a way
- 00:05:14.137 --> 00:05:17.440
- That violates our own principles and morals,
- 00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:20.009
- And then they use that against us
- 00:05:20.009 --> 00:05:22.378
- To degrade our message, to silence us, to deplatform
- 00:05:22.378 --> 00:05:25.181
- Us, to essentially cause us to lose credibility.
- 00:05:25.181 --> 00:05:30.486
- We cannot let that happen.
- 00:05:31.053 --> 00:05:34.457
- And so the first thing
- 00:05:34.924 --> 00:05:36.092
- That i'm going to encourage everyone to do, as we talk
- 00:05:36.092 --> 00:05:40.363
- About what we do as individuals, what we do
- 00:05:40.363 --> 00:05:43.199
- As part of a group, in order to carry out what i believe
- 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.635
- Is a very noble mission, not just to save our country,
- 00:05:45.635 --> 00:05:48.438
- But to hopefully recognize that the only way we save
- 00:05:48.438 --> 00:05:52.308
- Our country is by going back to the most fundamental thing
- 00:05:52.308 --> 00:05:55.978
- We possibly can.
- 00:05:55.978 --> 00:05:57.847
- Our belief and our understanding of our
- 00:05:57.847 --> 00:05:59.849
- Reliance upon god.
- 00:05:59.849 --> 00:06:02.985
- So let's discuss it.
- 00:06:03.453 --> 00:06:07.423
- Let's talk about
- 00:06:07.824 --> 00:06:09.225
- What it means to understand our operational environment,
- 00:06:09.225 --> 00:06:11.627
- And let's talk about the things that we need to do.
- 00:06:11.627 --> 00:06:13.963
- If we're serious about carrying on charlie's legacy
- 00:06:13.963 --> 00:06:17.533
- And the way he would have wanted.
- 00:06:17.533 --> 00:06:20.203
- We'll be right back.
- 00:06:20.670 --> 00:06:25.675
- In genesis
- 00:06:25.975 --> 00:06:26.876
- 12 three, god made a powerful promise
- 00:06:26.876 --> 00:06:29.512
- To abraham, the father of the jewish people.
- 00:06:29.512 --> 00:06:32.715
- I will bless those who bless you.
- 00:06:32.715 --> 00:06:35.918
- The christian bible tells us
- 00:06:35.918 --> 00:06:37.453
- That we have been grafted into god's family tree.
- 00:06:37.453 --> 00:06:40.423
- The rich olive tree of israel,
- 00:06:40.423 --> 00:06:42.825
- The very foundations of the christian faith,
- 00:06:42.825 --> 00:06:45.228
- The bible and jesus, whom christians call
- 00:06:45.228 --> 00:06:47.830
- The messiah, are deeply rooted in israel.
- 00:06:47.830 --> 00:06:51.300
- Supporting israel aligns christians with god's
- 00:06:51.300 --> 00:06:53.936
- Prophetic timeline.
- 00:06:53.936 --> 00:06:55.304
- It demonstrates our willingness to be instruments of
- 00:06:55.304 --> 00:06:58.541
- God's blessing, uplifting his chosen people,
- 00:06:58.541 --> 00:07:02.111
- And it calls us to confront and heal
- 00:07:02.111 --> 00:07:04.413
- The centuries old wounds of anti-semitism.
- 00:07:04.413 --> 00:07:07.450
- The scripture says how good and how
- 00:07:07.450 --> 00:07:09.886
- Pleasant it is when brethren dwell together.
- 00:07:09.886 --> 00:07:13.189
- You can be part of this historic movement
- 00:07:13.189 --> 00:07:16.726

- 00:07:21.631 --> 00:07:24.300
- Thinking about medicare.
- 00:07:24.834 --> 00:07:26.769
- Thinking back on medicare
- 00:07:26.769 --> 00:07:29.405
- Can be complicated, but amag makes it simple.

- But that's not all aamc has to offer.
- 00:07:39.115 --> 00:07:41.350

- Again, thank you for joining us.
- 00:08:04.409 --> 00:08:05.610
- I'm nick freitas, filling in for charlie kirk.
- 00:08:05.610 --> 00:08:08.212
- And now we're going to talk about what do we do next.
- 00:08:08.212 --> 00:08:10.949
- I first want to focus on what we do as an individual.
- 00:08:12.016 --> 00:08:14.052
- Because when somebody says, nick, what do i do?
- 00:08:14.052 --> 00:08:16.487
- The question i often ask back is, i don't know,
- 00:08:16.487 --> 00:08:19.023
- What can you do?
- 00:08:19.023 --> 00:08:20.158
- What do you feel led to do?
- 00:08:20.158 --> 00:08:21.593
- What are you prepared to do?
- 00:08:21.593 --> 00:08:23.194
- Now, i'm a bit older than charlie.
- 00:08:23.962 --> 00:08:26.164
- I'm 46 years old.
- 00:08:26.164 --> 00:08:28.399
- I've been a husband for over 26 years.
- 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.969
- I've been a father for 22 years.
- 00:08:30.969 --> 00:08:33.104
- I know what it is to go to war.
- 00:08:33.104 --> 00:08:34.372
- I've served in elected office.
- 00:08:34.372 --> 00:08:35.640
- I've been an activist for a while,
- 00:08:35.640 --> 00:08:36.908
- And i've worked on social media,
- 00:08:36.908 --> 00:08:38.376
- And i've learned some things along that time.
- 00:08:38.376 --> 00:08:41.245
- And one of the things i've learned
- 00:08:42.013 --> 00:08:43.181
- Is that there's five categories of your life, regardless
- 00:08:43.181 --> 00:08:45.783
- Of who you are or what your purpose is on this earth,
- 00:08:45.783 --> 00:08:48.786
- That we need to focus on, work on, and develop.
- 00:08:48.786 --> 00:08:51.723
- The first i'm going to talk about,
- 00:08:52.490 --> 00:08:54.092
- Because i think it's
- 00:08:54.092 --> 00:08:55.126
- The first charlie would want me to talk about,
- 00:08:55.126 --> 00:08:56.361
- And because i think it's the most important
- 00:08:56.361 --> 00:08:58.529
- Is the spiritual.
- 00:08:58.529 --> 00:09:00.398
- If you're ever wondering why charlie was so good
- 00:09:00.398 --> 00:09:02.867
- At being able to speak to people
- 00:09:02.867 --> 00:09:04.469
- Who demonstrated such hatred and vitriol for him, it's
- 00:09:04.469 --> 00:09:07.872
- Because he understood that regardless of what
- 00:09:07.872 --> 00:09:10.074
- That person might be saying, regardless
- 00:09:10.074 --> 00:09:12.076
- Of who might be working through that person.
- 00:09:12.076 --> 00:09:13.911
- In that moment,
- 00:09:13.911 --> 00:09:14.979
- Charlie saw someone created in the image of god.
- 00:09:14.979 --> 00:09:18.216
- He saw
- 00:09:18.416 --> 00:09:19.651
- Someone that needed salvation every bit as much as he did,
- 00:09:19.651 --> 00:09:22.587
- And allowed him to dehumanize people in moments
- 00:09:22.587 --> 00:09:25.256
- Where they were not acting very civilly toward him,
- 00:09:25.256 --> 00:09:27.959
- Because he recognized his dependance on christ,
- 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.529
- Because he recognized
- 00:09:31.529 --> 00:09:32.830
- That there is a spiritual world out there,
- 00:09:32.830 --> 00:09:34.999
- He could see evil for what it was.
- 00:09:34.999 --> 00:09:37.001
- He recognized that our fight
- 00:09:37.001 --> 00:09:38.336
- Was not ultimately against flesh and blood, even when evil
- 00:09:38.336 --> 00:09:41.572
- Was manifesting itself through flesh and blood.
- 00:09:41.572 --> 00:09:45.209
- And when you can do that, when you understand the true nature
- 00:09:45.209 --> 00:09:48.346
- Of truth, of morality, of the spiritual,
- 00:09:49.180 --> 00:09:52.583
- You have a better understanding of what evil is
- 00:09:53.518 --> 00:09:55.887
- And how to combat it.
- 00:09:55.887 --> 00:09:58.089
- You don't allow yourself to be baited
- 00:09:58.089 --> 00:09:59.724
- By evil to return evil with evil.
- 00:09:59.724 --> 00:10:02.794
- You don't become overcome by evil,
- 00:10:03.561 --> 00:10:05.263
- But instead you overcome evil with good.
- 00:10:05.263 --> 00:10:08.466
- But if you can't actually explain what evil is,
- 00:10:08.466 --> 00:10:10.668
- If you can't actually explain
- 00:10:10.668 --> 00:10:12.136
- What the source of objective morality is,
- 00:10:12.136 --> 00:10:14.872
- If you're trying to rely entirely upon secular humanism
- 00:10:14.872 --> 00:10:17.875
- In order to explain why you believe what you believe,
- 00:10:17.875 --> 00:10:20.945
- How you distinguish between good and evil
- 00:10:20.945 --> 00:10:23.081
- Without any sort of objective standard,
- 00:10:23.081 --> 00:10:25.383
- Then eventually you're going to fall flat.
- 00:10:25.383 --> 00:10:27.418
- That's why charlie always
- 00:10:27.985 --> 00:10:30.254
- Ultimately brought it back to god.
- 00:10:30.254 --> 00:10:33.658
- The second category i want to talk about is the intellectual,
- 00:10:33.658 --> 00:10:35.827
- And this is one that charlie excelled in.
- 00:10:35.827 --> 00:10:39.497
- Charlie could debate.
- 00:10:39.997 --> 00:10:41.532
- He was so well read his memory.
- 00:10:41.532 --> 00:10:43.234
- His recall was incredible.
- 00:10:43.234 --> 00:10:46.671
- And all of us should be seeking to increase
- 00:10:46.671 --> 00:10:49.307
- Our intellectual prowess,
- 00:10:49.307 --> 00:10:51.476
- Not because all of us are going to fulfill
- 00:10:51.476 --> 00:10:53.144
- The same sort of role that charlie did.
- 00:10:53.144 --> 00:10:55.580
- One of the things i used to teach my kids
- 00:10:55.580 --> 00:10:57.348
- When i was talking
- 00:10:57.348 --> 00:10:58.549
- About christian apologetics, when i teach my students
- 00:10:58.549 --> 00:11:01.052
- At our homeschool co-op, i would say,
- 00:11:01.052 --> 00:11:02.553
- Some of you extroverts are going to get
- 00:11:02.553 --> 00:11:04.188
- A little bit cocky about how well you do debating in public,
- 00:11:04.188 --> 00:11:07.959
- How well you do, and expository and explaining all of this,
- 00:11:07.959 --> 00:11:13.131
- How well you do with the back and forth, how
- 00:11:13.131 --> 00:11:14.766
- Well you do in speaking in front of audiences.
- 00:11:14.766 --> 00:11:16.701
- But just remember something
- 00:11:16.701 --> 00:11:17.835
- Before you get a little bit too cocky.
- 00:11:17.835 --> 00:11:20.138
- Most of the extroverts i know are really good
- 00:11:20.138 --> 00:11:22.607
- At regurgitating arguments that they read from introverts.
- 00:11:22.607 --> 00:11:26.043
- So understand something.
- 00:11:26.577 --> 00:11:27.612
- Intellectual prowess doesn't just mean doing
- 00:11:27.612 --> 00:11:29.480
- What charlie was doing.
- 00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:31.115
- It can mean quietly sitting, thinking, reflecting,
- 00:11:31.115 --> 00:11:34.118
- Writing down those thoughts, crafting the arguments
- 00:11:34.118 --> 00:11:36.988
- That might be used by you, or might be used by somebody else.
- 00:11:36.988 --> 00:11:40.491
- The point is, is wherever you fall in this overall mission,
- 00:11:40.491 --> 00:11:44.228
- There is no excuse for not continuing
- 00:11:45.029 --> 00:11:47.532
- To develop your mind.
- 00:11:47.532 --> 00:11:49.333
- When god commands us to love him, not just with
- 00:11:49.333 --> 00:11:52.370
- All of our spirit,
- 00:11:52.370 --> 00:11:53.638
- All of our strength, but with all of our mind.
- 00:11:53.638 --> 00:11:55.973
- It is, in fact a command, not a suggestion.
- 00:11:55.973 --> 00:11:59.110
- So continue to research study in your bibles.
- 00:11:59.110 --> 00:12:02.847
- I promise you, your bible is going to reveal
- 00:12:02.847 --> 00:12:04.515
- New wisdom to you every day.
- 00:12:04.515 --> 00:12:05.950
- You will read the verse
- 00:12:05.950 --> 00:12:07.084
- A thousand times over and it will give you different
- 00:12:07.084 --> 00:12:09.520
- Strength, different encouragement.
- 00:12:09.520 --> 00:12:11.322
- You will find new meaning in different circumstances.
- 00:12:11.322 --> 00:12:14.358
- So never neglect opening up your bible and reading it.
- 00:12:14.358 --> 00:12:17.662
- The third area i want to talk about is the emotional.
- 00:12:17.662 --> 00:12:20.865
- Now, charlie was not just good
- 00:12:20.865 --> 00:12:23.668
- Because he had developed his intellectual prowess.
- 00:12:23.668 --> 00:12:26.003
- He was good because he had emotional discipline.
- 00:12:26.003 --> 00:12:29.240
- He didn't squash his emotions.
- 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.142
- You could see joy.
- 00:12:31.142 --> 00:12:32.643
- You could see anger. you could see passion.
- 00:12:32.643 --> 00:12:34.879
- All throughout charlie's discussions that he had.
- 00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:38.049
- But he was able to apply discipline.
- 00:12:38.049 --> 00:12:42.386
- Emotions inform the way that charlie thought
- 00:12:42.386 --> 00:12:45.089
- And talked about things, but they did not direct
- 00:12:45.089 --> 00:12:47.692
- Or control the way he thought or talked about things.
- 00:12:47.692 --> 00:12:50.995
- And that is critical.
- 00:12:50.995 --> 00:12:52.396
- One of the things i realized in my own life
- 00:12:53.331 --> 00:12:55.266
- After witnessing this tragedy was that
- 00:12:55.266 --> 00:12:57.301
- There was areas of my emotional life
- 00:12:57.301 --> 00:12:59.170
- That i had to get under control,
- 00:12:59.170 --> 00:13:01.339
- That i had to become more disciplined in.
- 00:13:01.339 --> 00:13:03.441
- And the way
- 00:13:03.441 --> 00:13:04.408
- You become more disciplined in those things
- 00:13:04.408 --> 00:13:06.210
- Is you actually put yourself in situations where
- 00:13:06.210 --> 00:13:08.779
- You have to develop the sort of patience,
- 00:13:08.779 --> 00:13:11.482
- The sort of discipline, the sort of understanding,
- 00:13:11.482 --> 00:13:14.452
- So that your emotions can inform but not dictate.
- 00:13:14.452 --> 00:13:18.289
- So when you are thinking about your various impulses,
- 00:13:19.357 --> 00:13:23.327
- When you're thinking
- 00:13:23.327 --> 00:13:24.562
- About the visceral reactions you have to things, recognize
- 00:13:24.562 --> 00:13:26.931
- That those emotions are an invitation to thought.
- 00:13:26.931 --> 00:13:29.800
- Use the intellectual and the emotional
- 00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:31.702
- In conjunction with one another,
- 00:13:31.702 --> 00:13:33.738
- So that you can come up with the sort of responses,
- 00:13:33.738 --> 00:13:36.540
- Whether it be
- 00:13:36.908 --> 00:13:38.009
- In your personal life or whether it be to others,
- 00:13:38.009 --> 00:13:40.211
- That glorify god and respect the
- 00:13:40.211 --> 00:13:46.083
- Next, i want to talk about the professional.
- 00:13:46.984 --> 00:13:49.520
- And this in part goes hand in hand
- 00:13:49.520 --> 00:13:51.422
- With this idea of what we do next.
- 00:13:51.422 --> 00:13:54.425
- The bottom line is what capabilities
- 00:13:54.425 --> 00:13:56.460
- You have, what capabilities you develop,
- 00:13:56.460 --> 00:13:58.529
- What talents that you have, what god given talents
- 00:13:58.529 --> 00:14:01.565
- That you've developed over time are going to inform us
- 00:14:01.565 --> 00:14:04.468
- A great deal on what you can contribute.
- 00:14:04.468 --> 00:14:07.371
- And we should always be seeking to develop more capabilities,
- 00:14:07.371 --> 00:14:10.508
- Both to provide for ourselves, to provide for our families,
- 00:14:10.508 --> 00:14:13.044
- To engage in charity,
- 00:14:13.044 --> 00:14:14.245
- And then to apply them to those missions that are bigger
- 00:14:14.245 --> 00:14:17.481
- Than ourselves, bigger than our immediate circles.
- 00:14:17.481 --> 00:14:20.384
- Like i said before,
- 00:14:20.384 --> 00:14:21.519
- Not everyone is going to do exactly what charlie did.
- 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:24.055
- Charlie believed in division of labor
- 00:14:24.055 --> 00:14:26.557
- Or within a christian faith, the body of christ.
- 00:14:26.557 --> 00:14:29.660
- We have different talents.
- 00:14:30.227 --> 00:14:31.395
- We have different capabilities.
- 00:14:31.395 --> 00:14:33.197
- And it doesn't mean
- 00:14:33.197 --> 00:14:34.398
- You shouldn't cross train or look to improve in the areas
- 00:14:34.398 --> 00:14:36.667
- Where maybe you're not as strong.
- 00:14:36.667 --> 00:14:38.235
- But if you have a particular
- 00:14:38.235 --> 00:14:39.570
- Talent or passion that god has given you, then develop it.
- 00:14:39.570 --> 00:14:42.840
- Master it.
- 00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:44.575
- Be able to use it in such a way to where people cannot
- 00:14:44.575 --> 00:14:47.044
- Deny that that is a god given talent, that you have
- 00:14:47.044 --> 00:14:50.147
- Taken the time to be able to refine
- 00:14:50.147 --> 00:14:53.884
- So that you can use for a noble purpose.
- 00:14:53.884 --> 00:14:56.620
- And again, that
- 00:14:56.988 --> 00:14:57.989
- Noble purpose can be providing for your family.
- 00:14:57.989 --> 00:15:01.292
- And it could also be standing in the arena
- 00:15:01.292 --> 00:15:03.761
- And fighting for the mission
- 00:15:03.761 --> 00:15:05.997
- In a way that is unique to you.
- 00:15:05.997 --> 00:15:09.500
- The fifth area i want to talk about
- 00:15:10.234 --> 00:15:12.803
- Is the physical.
- 00:15:12.803 --> 00:15:14.672
- And this is one that i think often gets neglected.
- 00:15:14.672 --> 00:15:17.341
- But we need to start looking at it the way i think
- 00:15:17.341 --> 00:15:21.145
- God intends.
- 00:15:21.479 --> 00:15:24.248
- In scripture,
- 00:15:24.248 --> 00:15:25.449
- It talks about your body being a temple of the holy spirit.
- 00:15:25.449 --> 00:15:28.119
- I think all of us can appreciate
- 00:15:28.819 --> 00:15:30.988
- That if you don't take care of yourself,
- 00:15:30.988 --> 00:15:33.657
- It limits what you're able to do.
- 00:15:33.657 --> 00:15:36.027
- It limits what you're able to do for your family.
- 00:15:36.027 --> 00:15:38.129
- It limits what you're able to do for god,
- 00:15:38.129 --> 00:15:39.930
- And it limits what you're able to do for this movement.
- 00:15:39.930 --> 00:15:42.933
- So i think it's appropriate to say we should be
- 00:15:42.933 --> 00:15:46.070
- Taking care of ourselves.
- 00:15:46.070 --> 00:15:48.506
- That means controlling our impulses
- 00:15:48.506 --> 00:15:50.808
- When it comes to what we eat or what we consume.
- 00:15:50.808 --> 00:15:53.844
- It also means, quite frankly,
- 00:15:54.478 --> 00:15:56.447
- Get to the gym, do some physical exercise.
- 00:15:56.447 --> 00:16:00.051
- Let's think about these five things within our life.
- 00:16:00.051 --> 00:16:02.219
- What are the various things we can do to develop
- 00:16:02.219 --> 00:16:04.422
- And refine each of them, so that we can be more effective?
- 00:16:04.422 --> 00:16:08.592
- And now i'm going to talk a little bit
- 00:16:09.427 --> 00:16:11.429
- About what we can do in concert with one another.
- 00:16:11.429 --> 00:16:14.965
- As soon as we get back from these messages.
- 00:16:14.965 --> 00:16:19.737
- Thinking about social security.
- 00:16:20.371 --> 00:16:22.306
- Thinking back.
- 00:16:22.306 --> 00:16:23.707
- The amac foundation takes the confusion
- 00:16:23.707 --> 00:16:25.810
- And stress out of understanding.
- 00:16:25.810 --> 00:16:27.378
- Social security's thousands of rules and regulations.
- 00:16:27.378 --> 00:16:30.748
- Our nationally accredited
- 00:16:30.748 --> 00:16:32.083
- Advisors offer a personal touch that is unmatched,
- 00:16:32.083 --> 00:16:35.753
- But that's not all aamc has to offer.
- 00:16:35.753 --> 00:16:37.955
- Amac is america's leading conservative advocacy
- 00:16:37.955 --> 00:16:40.724
- And benefits organization
- 00:16:40.724 --> 00:16:42.126
- Guided by the principles of faith, family, and freedom.
- 00:16:42.126 --> 00:16:45.696
- So when it comes to social security and so much more,

- Think amac.

- And hears the heartbeat for the first time,
- 00:16:58.342 --> 00:17:00.711

- 00:17:50.005 --> 00:17:56.401
- Welcome back
- 00:17:56.735 --> 00:17:57.836
- Again i'm nick frates filling in for charlie kirk.
- 00:17:57.836 --> 00:18:00.338
- We've just talked about the five areas
- 00:18:01.173 --> 00:18:02.774
- That all of us can start working on right now.
- 00:18:02.774 --> 00:18:05.143
- You don't got to ask permission.
- 00:18:05.143 --> 00:18:06.645
- You don't really even have to coordinate with others.
- 00:18:06.645 --> 00:18:08.914
- You just have to get busy doing it.
- 00:18:08.914 --> 00:18:11.283
- If you look at the way that a lot,
- 00:18:11.283 --> 00:18:12.684
- If you look at a lot of the tactics,
- 00:18:12.684 --> 00:18:13.919
- The left of use to infiltrate the culturally
- 00:18:13.919 --> 00:18:16.221
- Shaping institutions within our lives,
- 00:18:16.221 --> 00:18:18.023
- They didn't start by becoming the college president.
- 00:18:18.023 --> 00:18:21.092
- They started by teaching a class.
- 00:18:21.092 --> 00:18:23.929
- They didn't start by taking over the entire state.
- 00:18:23.929 --> 00:18:27.032
- They started by running for the board of supervisors.
- 00:18:27.032 --> 00:18:30.502
- We have to understand that
- 00:18:31.069 --> 00:18:32.904
- That strategy works and we can use it as well.
- 00:18:32.904 --> 00:18:35.907
- We have to fight for the culturally
- 00:18:35.907 --> 00:18:37.409
- Shaping institutions within our country.
- 00:18:37.409 --> 00:18:39.277
- And one of them is politics, but others are the media.
- 00:18:39.277 --> 00:18:42.881
- It's the arts and entertainment.
- 00:18:42.881 --> 00:18:44.115
- It's journalism. it's education.
- 00:18:44.115 --> 00:18:47.485
- If you're a teacher trying to
- 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:49.321
- Do something else, maybe your role is to teach.
- 00:18:49.321 --> 00:18:53.658
- Maybe your role is to volunteer at that homeschool co-op.
- 00:18:53.658 --> 00:18:56.761
- Maybe you have a gift for writing.
- 00:18:56.761 --> 00:18:58.196
- Maybe you're an author. great.
- 00:18:58.196 --> 00:18:59.998
- You know what we need?
- 00:18:59.998 --> 00:19:00.999
- At the same time that hollywood is dying.
- 00:19:00.999 --> 00:19:03.168
- We need to come up and compete with it.
- 00:19:03.168 --> 00:19:05.070
- If you are someone that can write a script,
- 00:19:05.070 --> 00:19:06.738
- That can sing, that can act great,
- 00:19:06.738 --> 00:19:09.040
- We need you now more than ever.
- 00:19:09.040 --> 00:19:10.909
- It may start with community theater, but if that's
- 00:19:10.909 --> 00:19:13.445
- A way that you can go and share the love and hope of christ,
- 00:19:13.445 --> 00:19:17.449
- If that's the way that you can share
- 00:19:17.449 --> 00:19:18.750
- Your values in a way that touches and impacts
- 00:19:18.750 --> 00:19:20.719
- People, then go do it.
- 00:19:20.719 --> 00:19:22.020
- Go start.
- 00:19:22.020 --> 00:19:22.887
- Who knows where it could lead?
- 00:19:22.887 --> 00:19:25.790
- If you're
- 00:19:26.091 --> 00:19:27.092
- The sort of person that has it on your heart
- 00:19:27.092 --> 00:19:27.959
- To get involved in politics, excellent.
- 00:19:27.959 --> 00:19:29.995
- But remember something.
- 00:19:29.995 --> 00:19:31.663
- I've served in the state
- 00:19:31.663 --> 00:19:32.797
- Legislature for ten years and people have asked me,
- 00:19:32.797 --> 00:19:35.300
- How do you maintain your focus?
- 00:19:35.300 --> 00:19:37.636
- And i always tell them the same thing.
- 00:19:37.636 --> 00:19:40.572
- I don't get my identity from being a state representative.
- 00:19:40.572 --> 00:19:43.441
- I get my identity first and foremost in christ.
- 00:19:43.441 --> 00:19:46.978
- If you can understand
- 00:19:47.479 --> 00:19:48.246
- What the true
- 00:19:48.246 --> 00:19:48.913
- Nature of your identity is,
- 00:19:48.913 --> 00:19:49.881
- Then you can go into some of these dangerous
- 00:19:49.881 --> 00:19:52.250
- And difficult and compromising fields
- 00:19:52.250 --> 00:19:55.987
- And stay true to your overall purpose.
- 00:19:55.987 --> 00:19:59.224
- Look for the various culturally shaping institutions that
- 00:19:59.224 --> 00:20:01.626
- We are fighting for and ask, how can you best contribute?
- 00:20:01.626 --> 00:20:04.329
- If you're someone that's an entrepreneur.
- 00:20:05.196 --> 00:20:06.665
- Great.
- 00:20:06.665 --> 00:20:07.732
- Start a business. help other people start businesses.
- 00:20:07.732 --> 00:20:09.668
- One of the things that we're going to need
- 00:20:09.668 --> 00:20:11.202
- Is not just a community of people that get along
- 00:20:11.202 --> 00:20:13.371
- And that worship together, but also buy,
- 00:20:13.371 --> 00:20:15.373
- Trade and sell together.
- 00:20:15.373 --> 00:20:17.742
- If you're the sort of person that has experienced wealth
- 00:20:18.877 --> 00:20:21.579
- Because you have a gift for it, that is wonderful.
- 00:20:21.579 --> 00:20:24.582
- What are the ways that you can actually use it
- 00:20:24.582 --> 00:20:26.251
- To advance the mission of
- 00:20:26.251 --> 00:20:27.185
- Others that are fulfilling different roles?
- 00:20:27.185 --> 00:20:30.855
- Everybody.
- 00:20:31.156 --> 00:20:32.290
- Everyone has a role to play.
- 00:20:32.290 --> 00:20:35.126
- They have a level to play it at.
- 00:20:35.827 --> 00:20:38.530
- And here's the one thing i would ask all of us
- 00:20:39.497 --> 00:20:40.899
- To remember as we talk about this mission.
- 00:20:40.899 --> 00:20:44.135
- And it goes right back to something
- 00:20:44.135 --> 00:20:45.337
- Charlie kirk would always tell people,
- 00:20:45.337 --> 00:20:48.139
- Just like the division of labor within the movement,
- 00:20:49.174 --> 00:20:51.142
- Within the economy is important.
- 00:20:51.142 --> 00:20:53.845
- It reflects something that we learned
- 00:20:53.845 --> 00:20:55.046
- Within the body of christ, within the body of christ.
- 00:20:55.046 --> 00:20:57.015
- It's a term that we as christians use
- 00:20:57.015 --> 00:20:58.683
- To reflect the fact that the entire body
- 00:20:58.683 --> 00:21:00.685
- Has a number of things.
- 00:21:00.685 --> 00:21:01.586
- It has had.
- 00:21:01.586 --> 00:21:02.487
- It has eyes, it has hands, it has feet.
- 00:21:02.487 --> 00:21:05.657
- And who are the eyes to look at the feet and say,
- 00:21:06.658 --> 00:21:08.593
- My mission is more important than yours.
- 00:21:08.593 --> 00:21:12.330
- We have to respect
- 00:21:12.764 --> 00:21:14.265
- The individual roles that we all play.
- 00:21:14.265 --> 00:21:17.035
- We need to have gratitude for the effort
- 00:21:17.035 --> 00:21:19.371
- That others are putting in
- 00:21:19.371 --> 00:21:21.506
- To not get sucked in by pride,
- 00:21:21.506 --> 00:21:25.009
- But to understand that each of us is playing
- 00:21:25.009 --> 00:21:27.245
- A vital and important role in order to achieve
- 00:21:27.245 --> 00:21:30.215
- An incredible mission.
- 00:21:30.215 --> 00:21:31.249
- And that incredible mission is to point to christ,
- 00:21:31.249 --> 00:21:34.119
- To save the family.
- 00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:36.287
- And in doing these things, save our country.
- 00:21:36.287 --> 00:21:39.324
- I think that's what charlie would have wanted,
- 00:21:39.324 --> 00:21:41.726
- Because it's the way he lived his life.
- 00:21:41.726 --> 00:21:44.596
- So that's how we're going to start.
- 00:21:45.397 --> 00:21:47.966
- We're going to start
- 00:21:47.966 --> 00:21:48.833
- By looking at those five categories,
- 00:21:48.833 --> 00:21:49.734
- And we're gonna start to develop them.
- 00:21:49.734 --> 00:21:51.269
- We're going to recognize that it's a lifelong mission,
- 00:21:51.269 --> 00:21:53.838
- That we're constantly trying to develop mastery,
- 00:21:53.838 --> 00:21:56.040
- That we're constantly going
- 00:21:56.040 --> 00:21:57.008
- Through the process of sanctification.
- 00:21:57.008 --> 00:21:59.477
- We're going to start to look for the areas as we develop
- 00:22:00.612 --> 00:22:03.114
- That we can improve as husbands or wives, as parents,
- 00:22:03.114 --> 00:22:07.252
- As children, as members of a family unit.
- 00:22:07.252 --> 00:22:10.522
- We're going to look at our immediate church family
- 00:22:10.522 --> 00:22:12.123
- And our community, and we're going to see the ways
- 00:22:12.123 --> 00:22:14.626
- That we can actually breathe life
- 00:22:14.626 --> 00:22:17.061
- And understanding into those areas.
- 00:22:17.061 --> 00:22:19.564
- And then we're going to start to build,
- 00:22:19.564 --> 00:22:20.698
- And we're going to look at all the various ways
- 00:22:20.698 --> 00:22:22.467
- That we can coordinate and work together in one community.
- 00:22:22.467 --> 00:22:28.006
- Now, i have the honor
- 00:22:28.506 --> 00:22:30.775
- Of being able to come back and host again for charlie,
- 00:22:30.775 --> 00:22:33.812
- And we're going to continue on this message.
- 00:22:34.746 --> 00:22:36.448
- We're going to get into specifics.
- 00:22:36.448 --> 00:22:37.682
- We're going to get into details.
- 00:22:37.682 --> 00:22:38.850
- We're going to answer the question of what we can do,
- 00:22:38.850 --> 00:22:42.253
- But we're
- 00:22:42.554 --> 00:22:43.388
- Always going to do that remembering.
- 00:22:43.388 --> 00:22:46.157
- The charlie's ultimate mission
- 00:22:46.157 --> 00:22:48.560
- Was revival.
- 00:22:48.560 --> 00:22:51.129
- It was recognizing
- 00:22:51.129 --> 00:22:53.431
- That when you build a country
- 00:22:53.431 --> 00:22:56.000
- On the firm foundation of jesus christ,
- 00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:58.470
- When you build families
- 00:22:58.470 --> 00:23:00.004
- On the firm foundation of jesus christ,
- 00:23:00.004 --> 00:23:01.906
- When you build your individual life
- 00:23:01.906 --> 00:23:03.475
- On the firm foundation of jesus christ,
- 00:23:03.475 --> 00:23:05.510
- And you ask yourself the very important question,
- 00:23:05.510 --> 00:23:09.214
- Not what it is that you can do, and then invite god
- 00:23:09.214 --> 00:23:12.250
- To join you, but instead asking god,
- 00:23:12.250 --> 00:23:15.119
- What do you have for me today?
- 00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:17.222
- And then joining him on his mission?
- 00:23:17.222 --> 00:23:20.925
- Charlie did that
- 00:23:21.326 --> 00:23:22.160
- As well as anybody i've ever seen.
- 00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:25.163
- So let's go and do the same.
- 00:23:25.763 --> 00:23:28.600
- We miss you, charlie,
- 00:23:28.600 --> 00:23:30.468
- And we will remember you.
- 00:23:30.468 --> 00:23:32.537
- And our actions will reflect that.
- 00:23:32.537 --> 00:23:39.210
- The poverty is unimaginable.
- 00:23:39.811 --> 00:23:43.181
- There are people who are struggling.
- 00:23:43.181 --> 00:23:46.150
- Those who are hungry.
- 00:23:46.651 --> 00:23:48.086
- Forgotten jews.
- 00:23:48.086 --> 00:23:49.787
- Scripture says joy can come in the morning.
- 00:23:49.787 --> 00:23:52.657
- And you can be the reason.
- 00:23:52.657 --> 00:23:54.359
- Bless these hurting children of israel.
- 00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:56.995
- Your urgent gift today of $25 will help rush
- 00:23:56.995 --> 00:24:00.965
- A survival food box filled with life saving essentials.
- 00:24:00.965 --> 00:24:04.736
- Tens of thousands of elderly holocaust survivors
- 00:24:04.736 --> 00:24:07.705
- In the former soviet union are living in extreme poverty.
- 00:24:07.705 --> 00:24:11.576
- Hungry
- 00:24:11.776 --> 00:24:12.544
- For god? the truly international
- 00:24:12.544 --> 00:24:14.512
- Fellowship of christians and jews.
- 00:24:14.512 --> 00:24:16.314
- We can bring hope.
- 00:24:16.314 --> 00:24:18.049
- It's my favorite food.
- 00:24:18.049 --> 00:24:20.818
- May you be blessed.
- 00:24:20.818 --> 00:24:20.818
