  • I was at the white house.
  • 00:01:48.420 --> 00:01:49.788
  • I was at

  • Media executives, with the national religious broadcasters,
  • 00:01:52.224 --> 00:01:54.893

  • 00:02:10.042 --> 00:02:13.612
  • And extraordinary impact.
  • 00:02:13.612 --> 00:02:15.414

  • Knew them well,
  • 00:02:31.863 --> 00:02:32.898

  • As i was with these guys.
  • 00:02:44.643 --> 00:02:45.811
  • This was 24 and then later 48 hours
  • 00:02:45.811 --> 00:02:48.647
  • After charlie's assassination, and all of us were trying
  • 00:02:48.647 --> 00:02:52.384
  • To process what in the world has just happened?
  • 00:02:52.384 --> 00:02:55.387
  • Wall to wall tv coverage on broadcast
  • 00:02:55.387 --> 00:02:58.123
  • And cable, and of course, all across radio.
  • 00:02:58.123 --> 00:03:01.159
  • An explosion of social media discussions.
  • 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.695
  • But how could this happen? what does it mean?
  • 00:03:03.695 --> 00:03:06.198
  • And president trump giving an oval office message
  • 00:03:06.198 --> 00:03:09.534
  • About the murder of his friend charlie kirk.
  • 00:03:09.534 --> 00:03:12.237
  • Vice president vance taking air force one to get the body.
  • 00:03:12.237 --> 00:03:15.440
  • Get the casket and bring it back to arizona.
  • 00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:17.943
  • Look, the nation and many around the world are stopping
  • 00:03:17.943 --> 00:03:21.847
  • And taking notice of this assassination.
  • 00:03:21.847 --> 00:03:24.449
  • And the target of the assassination.
  • 00:03:24.449 --> 00:03:27.219
  • And how in the world can a 31 year old,
  • 00:03:27.219 --> 00:03:30.389
  • Number one,
  • 00:03:30.389 --> 00:03:31.023
  • New york times bestselling
  • 00:03:31.023 --> 00:03:31.990
  • Author, speaker, broadcaster, communicator?
  • 00:03:31.990 --> 00:03:35.093
  • How can he get assassinated in broad daylight?
  • 00:03:35.093 --> 00:03:37.796
  • And now what?
  • 00:03:37.796 --> 00:03:38.730
  • Are we on the verge of a civil war or
  • 00:03:38.730 --> 00:03:41.533
  • The greatest spiritual awakening in american history?
  • 00:03:41.533 --> 00:03:44.603
  • I want to talk about these things tonight,
  • 00:03:44.603 --> 00:03:46.938
  • But i want to
  • 00:03:46.938 --> 00:03:48.106
  • Start with charlie's faith in jesus christ, i believe.
  • 00:03:48.106 --> 00:03:51.209
  • And i don't think there's any argument about it.
  • 00:03:51.209 --> 00:03:54.079
  • The charlie was the greatest young evangelist of our time.
  • 00:03:54.079 --> 00:04:00.585
  • In almost
  • 00:04:00.585 --> 00:04:01.653
  • Everything he said, almost everything charlie did.
  • 00:04:01.653 --> 00:04:04.790
  • He put the gospel first or wove it in.
  • 00:04:04.790 --> 00:04:07.526
  • Even if somebody wanted to talk about a social issue,
  • 00:04:07.526 --> 00:04:10.195
  • A political issue, a cultural issue.
  • 00:04:10.195 --> 00:04:13.165
  • Charlie, turn the conversation more often than not to why
  • 00:04:13.165 --> 00:04:17.402
  • Jesus christ
  • 00:04:17.402 --> 00:04:18.337
  • Is the king of kings and the lord of lords,
  • 00:04:18.337 --> 00:04:20.238
  • And the bible is the word of god.
  • 00:04:20.238 --> 00:04:22.040
  • Let me show you
  • 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:23.508
  • Some of my favorite clips of charlie's extraordinary,
  • 00:04:23.508 --> 00:04:27.679
  • Extraordinarily bold and courageous ministry.
  • 00:04:27.679 --> 00:04:31.550
  • We believe jesus is king.
  • 00:04:31.550 --> 00:04:33.051
  • We believe in the inerrancy of scripture.
  • 00:04:33.051 --> 00:04:35.921
  • We can agree on that.
  • 00:04:35.921 --> 00:04:37.122
  • The most important thing is to win souls for jesus christ.
  • 00:04:37.122 --> 00:04:40.359
  • And the second most important thing
  • 00:04:41.093 --> 00:04:44.996
  • Is to make sure we could still do the first thing.
  • 00:04:44.996 --> 00:04:47.366
  • Christ called us to be salt and light.
  • 00:04:47.366 --> 00:04:49.368
  • We as christians should change the environment
  • 00:04:49.368 --> 00:04:51.303
  • That we come in contact with. that's what salt might do.
  • 00:04:51.303 --> 00:04:53.739
  • So why should we then not care about change in government
  • 00:04:53.739 --> 00:04:56.575
  • To be more christlike?
  • 00:04:56.575 --> 00:04:58.110
  • You've been doing this on campuses for a while.
  • 00:04:58.110 --> 00:05:00.712
  • It's kind of similar to what i do.
  • 00:05:00.712 --> 00:05:02.647
  • Somewhat
  • 00:05:02.647 --> 00:05:03.882
  • From a political standpoint, but we're unafraid to talk about
  • 00:05:03.882 --> 00:05:06.785
  • The deeper things, more important things
  • 00:05:06.785 --> 00:05:09.054
  • To talk about that.
  • 00:05:09.054 --> 00:05:10.155
  • I mean, that's yeah, sure.
  • 00:05:10.155 --> 00:05:11.423
  • Well, you know why i like him?
  • 00:05:11.423 --> 00:05:13.692
  • Because he hasn't
  • 00:05:13.692 --> 00:05:14.926
  • Made the mistake of elevating politics over faith in christ.
  • 00:05:14.926 --> 00:05:18.830
  • And what charlie does in a way
  • 00:05:18.830 --> 00:05:20.065
  • That i've come to respect is because i've been,
  • 00:05:20.065 --> 00:05:22.801
  • Confronted by more and more
  • 00:05:23.402 --> 00:05:24.503
  • Of this type of issue, as he puts christ at the center.
  • 00:05:24.503 --> 00:05:27.806
  • God is the basis of your worldview.
  • 00:05:27.806 --> 00:05:30.375
  • And then because of that, you respect your country.
  • 00:05:30.375 --> 00:05:33.211
  • You're very grateful
  • 00:05:33.211 --> 00:05:34.079
  • For what our foremothers
  • 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:35.280
  • And forefathers have done in putting this country together.
  • 00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:38.183
  • And you want to return it to the judeo-christian ethic?
  • 00:05:38.183 --> 00:05:40.786
  • That was the foundation of this family, this country.
  • 00:05:40.786 --> 00:05:43.155
  • We believe in a personal god who's involved in our lives
  • 00:05:43.155 --> 00:05:45.824
  • Today.
  • 00:05:45.824 --> 00:05:46.691
  • Spiritual battle is coming to the west,
  • 00:05:46.691 --> 00:05:49.027
  • And the enemies are wokeism or marxism combining
  • 00:05:49.027 --> 00:05:52.197
  • With islamism to go after what we call the american way of life
  • 00:05:52.197 --> 00:05:56.601
  • And the american way of life is very simple.
  • 00:05:56.601 --> 00:05:58.770
  • I want to be able to get married, buy a home, have kids,
  • 00:05:58.770 --> 00:06:02.774
  • Allow them to ride their bike till the sun goes down.
  • 00:06:02.774 --> 00:06:05.710
  • Send them to a good school.
  • 00:06:05.710 --> 00:06:07.412
  • Have a low crime neighborhood.
  • 00:06:07.412 --> 00:06:09.281
  • Not to have my kid be taught
  • 00:06:09.281 --> 00:06:10.849
  • The lesbian gay transgender garbage in their school
  • 00:06:10.849 --> 00:06:16.388
  • While also.
  • 00:06:16.721 --> 00:06:19.724
  • While also not having them
  • 00:06:19.724 --> 00:06:22.060
  • Have to hear the muslim call to prayer five times a day.
  • 00:06:22.060 --> 00:06:25.730
  • That's important.
  • 00:06:26.164 --> 00:06:28.834
  • We want the american way of life,
  • 00:06:28.834 --> 00:06:31.136
  • Which is, by the way, christendom, christians,
  • 00:06:31.136 --> 00:06:35.674
  • Our sacrifice, our toil, our vision,
  • 00:06:35.674 --> 00:06:38.577
  • The outgrowth of the scriptures gave us western civilization.
  • 00:06:38.577 --> 00:06:42.047
  • And this is where i think is a great rallying cry.
  • 00:06:42.047 --> 00:06:44.382
  • It doesn't matter if you're hispanic.
  • 00:06:44.382 --> 00:06:45.884
  • It doesn't matter if you're asian, doesn't matter
  • 00:06:45.884 --> 00:06:47.619
  • If you're black or white.
  • 00:06:47.619 --> 00:06:48.854
  • Everybody if you are christian
  • 00:06:48.854 --> 00:06:50.455
  • And jesus christ as your lord and savior,
  • 00:06:50.455 --> 00:06:52.724
  • These two threats are combining forces to come after
  • 00:06:52.724 --> 00:06:56.228
  • Us. and it's time that the church stands
  • 00:06:56.228 --> 00:06:58.196
  • And rises up against them.
  • 00:06:58.196 --> 00:07:00.165
  • That was charlie.
  • 00:07:00.165 --> 00:07:02.000
  • At his best and also his most controversial.
  • 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.170
  • Right.
  • 00:07:05.170 --> 00:07:06.371
  • He's talking about how american culture, the culture upon
  • 00:07:06.371 --> 00:07:11.142
  • Which it was founded, is under direct and existential threat
  • 00:07:11.142 --> 00:07:15.947
  • From wokeism, from
  • 00:07:16.381 --> 00:07:18.517
  • Marxism, from radical islamism.
  • 00:07:18.517 --> 00:07:22.320
  • Right.
  • 00:07:22.320 --> 00:07:22.821
  • That he's saying,
  • 00:07:22.821 --> 00:07:23.755
  • If you're going to protect this country,
  • 00:07:23.755 --> 00:07:25.290
  • You better stand up and start talking about what's true
  • 00:07:25.290 --> 00:07:29.327
  • And why these other ideologies are not just wrong,
  • 00:07:29.327 --> 00:07:33.398
  • But they're a danger.
  • 00:07:33.398 --> 00:07:34.499
  • They're a threat to the country.
  • 00:07:34.499 --> 00:07:36.535
  • This was charlie.
  • 00:07:36.535 --> 00:07:37.469
  • This is why he was assassinated.
  • 00:07:37.469 --> 00:07:39.738
  • It's not just that he was effective in talking about,
  • 00:07:39.738 --> 00:07:44.409
  • Judeo-christian values.
  • 00:07:44.910 --> 00:07:46.411
  • I believe
  • 00:07:46.411 --> 00:07:47.479
  • Charlie was assassinated because he was a follower
  • 00:07:47.479 --> 00:07:50.048
  • Of jesus christ.
  • 00:07:50.048 --> 00:07:51.082
  • And he was so effective at preaching the gospel.
  • 00:07:51.082 --> 00:07:53.818
  • Not in a church pulpit. right.
  • 00:07:53.818 --> 00:07:55.620
  • He wasn't a pastor.
  • 00:07:55.620 --> 00:07:57.355
  • He wasn't an ordained theologian.
  • 00:07:57.355 --> 00:08:00.025
  • He wasn't even a college graduate. right.
  • 00:08:00.025 --> 00:08:01.927
  • He dropped out of college, community college
  • 00:08:01.927 --> 00:08:04.129
  • Because he didn't find any of it interesting.
  • 00:08:04.129 --> 00:08:05.797
  • And he found that why would he spend the money?
  • 00:08:05.797 --> 00:08:08.066
  • I'm getting indoctrinated by radical woke
  • 00:08:08.066 --> 00:08:12.103
  • Marxist communists, anti-jewish, anti-christian professors.
  • 00:08:12.103 --> 00:08:17.075
  • He didn't want to do it.
  • 00:08:17.609 --> 00:08:19.210
  • And he became this incredibly effective person,
  • 00:08:19.210 --> 00:08:22.581
  • Going to college campuses.
  • 00:08:23.148 --> 00:08:24.716
  • He went to more college campuses and,
  • 00:08:24.716 --> 00:08:26.484
  • And preached the gospel and talked
  • 00:08:26.484 --> 00:08:28.153
  • About how to connect the gospel to day
  • 00:08:28.153 --> 00:08:31.990
  • To day issues that are that we're all wrestling with.
  • 00:08:31.990 --> 00:08:35.093
  • He was more effective.
  • 00:08:35.093 --> 00:08:35.994
  • He did it more than any other young
  • 00:08:35.994 --> 00:08:38.163
  • Christian conservative that i can think.
  • 00:08:38.163 --> 00:08:39.965
  • I mean, i mean, i don't think it's even close.
  • 00:08:39.965 --> 00:08:42.367
  • And he did it.
  • 00:08:42.367 --> 00:08:43.501
  • I mean, this was his focus.
  • 00:08:43.501 --> 00:08:45.804
  • Now, the question is, how did he go from being 18
  • 00:08:45.804 --> 00:08:48.640
  • And starting turning point usa and all this to becoming someone
  • 00:08:48.640 --> 00:08:52.410
  • Who got 15.4 billion views last year alone?
  • 00:08:52.410 --> 00:08:57.616
  • Look, that's the anointing of the holy spirit.
  • 00:08:57.616 --> 00:09:00.919
  • It's not just that charlie was smart
  • 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:02.454
  • Of course he was smart.
  • 00:09:02.454 --> 00:09:03.655
  • Not just that he was well trained and well and articulate.
  • 00:09:03.655 --> 00:09:07.192
  • There are others who have that too.
  • 00:09:07.192 --> 00:09:09.461
  • It's not just that he communicated the gospel, it's
  • 00:09:09.461 --> 00:09:11.663
  • That god had put a special anointing on charlie.
  • 00:09:11.663 --> 00:09:15.100
  • There is no other way
  • 00:09:15.100 --> 00:09:16.434
  • To explain how effective he was and how wide his impact was.
  • 00:09:16.434 --> 00:09:21.773
  • And now, in death, i think it's becoming even more
  • 00:09:21.773 --> 00:09:25.810
  • Even more people are listening to his messages
  • 00:09:25.810 --> 00:09:28.747
  • And people talking about how their lives were changed
  • 00:09:28.747 --> 00:09:31.883
  • By his messages,
  • 00:09:32.283 --> 00:09:33.952
  • By his engagement with the culture, young culture,
  • 00:09:33.952 --> 00:09:38.156
  • Campus culture than any other person in our in our generation.
  • 00:09:38.156 --> 00:09:43.762
  • That's charlie kirk, but that's not all.
  • 00:09:43.762 --> 00:09:46.531
  • Stay tuned.
  • 00:09:46.531 --> 00:09:48.767
  • Coming up next on the rosenberg report, how did charlie kirk
  • 00:09:48.767 --> 00:09:52.370
  • Become the most effective champion and defender of israel?
  • 00:09:52.370 --> 00:09:56.141
  • And the jewish people,
  • 00:09:56.141 --> 00:09:57.242
  • By far, of any young evangelical christian in our time?
  • 00:09:57.242 --> 00:10:01.646
  • And now what?
  • 00:10:01.646 --> 00:10:02.514
  • With political violence skyrocketing.
  • 00:10:02.514 --> 00:10:04.616
  • Is america on the verge of a civil war
  • 00:10:04.616 --> 00:10:07.619
  • Or the greatest spiritual awakening in our history?
  • 00:10:07.619 --> 00:10:10.889
  • Find out when the rosenberg report continues on tbn
  • 00:10:10.889 --> 00:10:14.659
  • Right after this break.
  • 00:10:14.659 --> 00:10:16.998
  • Right after this break.
  • 00:10:16.998 --> 00:10:21.333
  • How did charlie kirk
  • 00:10:21.801 --> 00:10:22.902
  • Become the most effective
  • 00:10:22.902 --> 00:10:24.437
  • Champion and defender of israel and the jewish people of any
  • 00:10:24.437 --> 00:10:28.574
  • Young evangelical christian in our time?
  • 00:10:28.574 --> 00:10:31.844
  • Good evening.
  • 00:10:32.211 --> 00:10:33.312
  • Welcome back to the rosenberg report from denver.
  • 00:10:33.312 --> 00:10:35.114
  • Look, there's no question that charlie was the most effective
  • 00:10:35.114 --> 00:10:39.385
  • Advocate, champion, defender of israel.
  • 00:10:39.385 --> 00:10:43.355
  • And, and, and somebody
  • 00:10:43.823 --> 00:10:45.524
  • Fighting against anti-semitism and against anti-israel ism.
  • 00:10:45.524 --> 00:10:49.595
  • There's literally nobody else,
  • 00:10:50.196 --> 00:10:53.165
  • Like charlie kirk.
  • 00:10:53.165 --> 00:10:54.700
  • There's no question
  • 00:10:54.700 --> 00:10:55.935
  • That charlie took the exact opposite, for example,
  • 00:10:55.935 --> 00:10:58.671
  • The exact opposite stance of his good friend tucker
  • 00:10:58.671 --> 00:11:01.574
  • Carlson, who i think has become one of the most dangerous,
  • 00:11:01.574 --> 00:11:05.344
  • Anti-israel voices of our time.
  • 00:11:05.344 --> 00:11:08.714
  • Tucker is older, than, than charlie.
  • 00:11:08.714 --> 00:11:12.685
  • And tucker and charlie were very much
  • 00:11:13.486 --> 00:11:16.021
  • On the same page in many ways, but tucker went one direction
  • 00:11:16.021 --> 00:11:19.125
  • Anti-israel.
  • 00:11:19.125 --> 00:11:20.159
  • Charlie stuck with his pro-israel convictions.
  • 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:23.729
  • And when it came to israel
  • 00:11:23.729 --> 00:11:25.397
  • And the jewish people, i'm just telling you, i
  • 00:11:25.397 --> 00:11:27.733
  • Literally cannot think of anyone
  • 00:11:27.733 --> 00:11:29.668
  • That was more effective in countering,
  • 00:11:29.668 --> 00:11:33.239
  • The ignorance of young people
  • 00:11:33.239 --> 00:11:35.875
  • On college campuses and elsewhere than charlie kirk.
  • 00:11:35.875 --> 00:11:38.911
  • I want you to take a look at these sound bites,
  • 00:11:38.911 --> 00:11:41.180
  • Because it's not just that charlie was passionate
  • 00:11:41.180 --> 00:11:43.883
  • About explaining why it was important.
  • 00:11:43.883 --> 00:11:46.786
  • He was passionate about pushing back
  • 00:11:46.786 --> 00:11:49.755
  • Against the nonsense, the confusion, the moral
  • 00:11:49.755 --> 00:11:53.559
  • Bankruptcy of many young people when it comes to israel
  • 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:57.429
  • And the conflict.
  • 00:11:57.429 --> 00:11:58.464
  • Israel has with its radical islamist enemies.
  • 00:11:58.464 --> 00:12:02.268
  • Let me ask you, in the conflict of israel versus hamas,
  • 00:12:02.268 --> 00:12:04.870
  • Who's the good guy?
  • 00:12:04.870 --> 00:12:06.639
  • Leave.
  • 00:12:06.839 --> 00:12:07.807
  • Both hamas and the israeli government are evil.
  • 00:12:07.807 --> 00:12:09.975
  • But i think also that, you know, just equally,
  • 00:12:09.975 --> 00:12:12.912
  • Are they equally there is no justification
  • 00:12:12.912 --> 00:12:14.980
  • For the murder and mutilation
  • 00:12:14.980 --> 00:12:16.816
  • Of thousands of innocent people and children.
  • 00:12:16.816 --> 00:12:19.018
  • Let's you talk.
  • 00:12:19.018 --> 00:12:20.786
  • Let's let's do it.
  • 00:12:20.786 --> 00:12:21.620
  • And there is no justification.
  • 00:12:21.620 --> 00:12:23.289
  • Mr. trump,
  • 00:12:23.289 --> 00:12:25.124
  • For invading hospitals,
  • 00:12:25.124 --> 00:12:27.359
  • For bombing innocent populations and dragging out a war
  • 00:12:27.359 --> 00:12:30.062
  • Which is damaging israel and the west.
  • 00:12:30.062 --> 00:12:31.697
  • You've made that point, but there's no point.
  • 00:12:31.697 --> 00:12:34.533
  • It's a moral truth. it's okay.
  • 00:12:34.533 --> 00:12:35.634
  • Yet it was also a moral truth that the war started
  • 00:12:35.634 --> 00:12:37.870
  • Because 1300 jews were killed and 200 were taken hostage.
  • 00:12:37.870 --> 00:12:40.940
  • When you declare war on israel.
  • 00:12:40.940 --> 00:12:42.541
  • Expect a firestorm in reaction.
  • 00:12:42.541 --> 00:12:45.244
  • Let me finish. i let you talk.
  • 00:12:45.244 --> 00:12:47.246
  • Israel had its holiest day of the calendar year,
  • 00:12:47.246 --> 00:12:50.816
  • Besides yom kippur and rosh hashanah.
  • 00:12:50.816 --> 00:12:52.518
  • So for the 50 year anniversary of the six day war on shabbat,
  • 00:12:52.518 --> 00:12:56.522
  • Hamas invaded
  • 00:12:56.522 --> 00:12:57.623
  • Israel, deciding to go recklessly to music concerts,
  • 00:12:57.623 --> 00:13:01.427
  • To homes, to kibbutzim, and taking 200 plus hostages.
  • 00:13:01.427 --> 00:13:04.897
  • They knew what they were doing in one of the most cloistered
  • 00:13:04.897 --> 00:13:07.666
  • Urban environments on the planet.
  • 00:13:07.666 --> 00:13:09.268
  • 2 million people live in a place where it's impossible
  • 00:13:09.268 --> 00:13:11.804
  • To wage war, impossible where they wear civilian clothing.
  • 00:13:11.804 --> 00:13:15.107
  • They violate every tenant, the geneva convention and the idf.
  • 00:13:15.107 --> 00:13:18.177
  • When they do something right, they get no credit.
  • 00:13:18.177 --> 00:13:19.979
  • When they do lifesaving surgeries of a child,
  • 00:13:19.979 --> 00:13:22.147
  • They get no credit.
  • 00:13:22.147 --> 00:13:22.882
  • When they drive.
  • 00:13:22.882 --> 00:13:23.849
  • Leaflets drop leaflets, they get no credit.
  • 00:13:23.849 --> 00:13:25.284
  • But when they happen to bomb a place where they are
  • 00:13:25.284 --> 00:13:27.953
  • Operating their military, from which we now know
  • 00:13:27.953 --> 00:13:30.289
  • From third party verified sources.
  • 00:13:30.289 --> 00:13:32.024
  • Hundreds of hamas
  • 00:13:32.024 --> 00:13:33.225
  • Military operations are in mosques, schools and hospitals.
  • 00:13:33.225 --> 00:13:36.228
  • I'm sorry.
  • 00:13:36.228 --> 00:13:37.129
  • The country that were they were living
  • 00:13:37.129 --> 00:13:38.430
  • In relative peace on october 6th, that all of a sudden
  • 00:13:38.430 --> 00:13:41.033
  • We had a war and hamas started the war.
  • 00:13:41.033 --> 00:13:43.168
  • And i don't see people that were really upset
  • 00:13:43.168 --> 00:13:44.837
  • About the 2 million germans
  • 00:13:44.837 --> 00:13:46.338
  • That were killed in world war two civilians,
  • 00:13:46.338 --> 00:13:48.340
  • A tragic truth of war is that civilians die.
  • 00:13:48.340 --> 00:13:50.976
  • I don't like it. and you don't like it.
  • 00:13:50.976 --> 00:13:52.611
  • And they brought it upon themselves.
  • 00:13:52.611 --> 00:13:54.313
  • The only operation an entity to blame
  • 00:13:54.313 --> 00:13:56.582
  • Is the leadership of hamas.
  • 00:13:56.582 --> 00:13:57.883
  • Not the israeli government,
  • 00:13:57.883 --> 00:13:59.184
  • For fighting this defensive war after they were invaded.
  • 00:13:59.184 --> 00:14:01.453
  • There is a good guy and there is a bad guy. i'm.
  • 00:14:01.453 --> 00:14:04.323
  • I honestly not the morality of a child.
  • 00:14:04.323 --> 00:14:06.525
  • Well and well. hold on.
  • 00:14:06.525 --> 00:14:10.329
  • It's interesting you say that
  • 00:14:10.963 --> 00:14:12.698
  • Because a child who knows that israel is the good guy,
  • 00:14:12.698 --> 00:14:16.135
  • Hamas is bad,
  • 00:14:16.135 --> 00:14:16.969
  • Has a lot more wisdom than a student
  • 00:14:16.969 --> 00:14:18.871
  • Like yourself at cambridge university.
  • 00:14:18.871 --> 00:14:20.639
  • The greatest trip i ever took was to israel.
  • 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:22.408
  • On the second greatest trip
  • 00:14:22.408 --> 00:14:23.542
  • I ever took was to israel, and i've been there twice.
  • 00:14:23.542 --> 00:14:25.544
  • I'm a huge supporter of the holy land of judea and samaria,
  • 00:14:25.544 --> 00:14:29.148
  • And up against the terrorist organizations hezbollah
  • 00:14:29.148 --> 00:14:32.451
  • And the palestinian authority on college campuses.
  • 00:14:32.451 --> 00:14:34.720
  • And i've spoke i've spoke at more college campuses
  • 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:36.922
  • Than any christian conservative in the last couple of years
  • 00:14:36.922 --> 00:14:39.525
  • Stanford, berkeley, brown, ucla, university of texas,
  • 00:14:39.525 --> 00:14:43.662
  • University of michigan, michigan state university, you name it.
  • 00:14:43.662 --> 00:14:45.831
  • I've probably spoken at major universities or states
  • 00:14:45.831 --> 00:14:48.133
  • All across the country, from montana state to maine,
  • 00:14:48.133 --> 00:14:50.803
  • And i am confronted many times by young christians
  • 00:14:50.803 --> 00:14:54.106
  • That believe that israel is an oppressive apartheid state
  • 00:14:54.106 --> 00:14:57.109
  • That basically should not exist in its current form.
  • 00:14:57.109 --> 00:15:00.079
  • And so i am here to clearly communicate to you
  • 00:15:00.079 --> 00:15:02.681
  • That we have to do a much better job of of communicating,
  • 00:15:02.681 --> 00:15:05.784
  • Of conveying, i should say, the geopolitical significance
  • 00:15:05.784 --> 00:15:08.754
  • Of the state of israel.
  • 00:15:08.754 --> 00:15:10.656
  • The world is a better place because of the state of israel.
  • 00:15:10.656 --> 00:15:12.791
  • We have all three monotheistic religions represented
  • 00:15:12.791 --> 00:15:15.427
  • In the israeli knesset and the israeli supreme court.
  • 00:15:15.427 --> 00:15:18.564
  • Israel actually expresses
  • 00:15:18.564 --> 00:15:19.898
  • Freedom of religion. i'll never forget
  • 00:15:19.898 --> 00:15:21.300
  • When i was driving down to hebron last year.
  • 00:15:21.300 --> 00:15:23.802
  • And you're driving down south from jerusalem,
  • 00:15:23.802 --> 00:15:26.572
  • And there's the sign, and i don't speak
  • 00:15:26.572 --> 00:15:28.907
  • And i don't speak arabic, nor do i speak hebrew.
  • 00:15:28.907 --> 00:15:30.876
  • So i turned to my driver. i said, what does that sign say?
  • 00:15:30.876 --> 00:15:33.212
  • There was no english translation,
  • 00:15:33.212 --> 00:15:34.413
  • And there was a arrow in the middle
  • 00:15:34.413 --> 00:15:36.382
  • And an arrow to the right, arrow to the left, and arrows
  • 00:15:36.382 --> 00:15:38.617
  • To the right and left, a red, an arrow in the middle
  • 00:15:38.617 --> 00:15:40.619
  • Was black, or some other,
  • 00:15:40.619 --> 00:15:42.855
  • Not a warning color.
  • 00:15:42.855 --> 00:15:44.356
  • And so i said, what does that mean?
  • 00:15:44.356 --> 00:15:45.591
  • They said, well, if we turn right, you'll die.
  • 00:15:45.591 --> 00:15:47.493
  • What do you mean, you'll die?
  • 00:15:47.493 --> 00:15:48.460
  • Well, if you turn right, you go into the
  • 00:15:49.294 --> 00:15:50.295
  • Palestinian authority controlled territories.
  • 00:15:50.295 --> 00:15:52.297
  • And as a christian, a westerner or a jew, they'll kill you.
  • 00:15:52.297 --> 00:15:55.601
  • But what kind of
  • 00:15:55.601 --> 00:15:57.403
  • Ridiculous
  • 00:15:57.403 --> 00:15:59.671
  • Double standard here?
  • 00:15:59.671 --> 00:16:00.706
  • If arabs come into the israeli occupied areas,
  • 00:16:00.706 --> 00:16:03.108
  • They're given benefits and rights to vote.
  • 00:16:03.108 --> 00:16:05.511
  • You go into the palestinian authority areas,
  • 00:16:05.511 --> 00:16:07.713
  • A palestinian authority
  • 00:16:07.713 --> 00:16:09.181
  • Controlled areas, you get your head cut off.
  • 00:16:09.181 --> 00:16:11.116
  • That was a really interesting moment.
  • 00:16:11.116 --> 00:16:12.785
  • Yes, he love jesus. yes, king of the bible.
  • 00:16:12.785 --> 00:16:15.320
  • That's why, as an evangelical christian, he loved israel,
  • 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.857
  • His his faith.
  • 00:16:19.191 --> 00:16:20.426
  • It wasn't contradictory to his love for israel.
  • 00:16:20.426 --> 00:16:23.028
  • It's where his love for israel came from.
  • 00:16:23.028 --> 00:16:25.464
  • That's why it was so grounded.
  • 00:16:25.464 --> 00:16:27.399
  • That's a that's a huge contrast from tucker carlson.
  • 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.235
  • Right? tucker.
  • 00:16:30.235 --> 00:16:31.370
  • You know, tucker may be a believer. i don't know.
  • 00:16:31.370 --> 00:16:33.238
  • He says he is okay, but he's not well grounded.
  • 00:16:33.238 --> 00:16:37.042
  • Grounded in the bible from genesis to revelation.
  • 00:16:37.042 --> 00:16:40.145
  • Charlie kirk is he was,
  • 00:16:40.646 --> 00:16:43.949
  • Tucker was
  • 00:16:44.249 --> 00:16:46.118
  • Very confused and let himself become,
  • 00:16:46.118 --> 00:16:49.321
  • A deeply hostile person
  • 00:16:49.822 --> 00:16:52.791
  • To the nation of israel and to the jewish people.
  • 00:16:52.791 --> 00:16:55.961
  • Charlie kirk wouldn't go there because his faith told him,
  • 00:16:55.961 --> 00:17:00.099
  • Starting in the book of genesis, how much god loves,
  • 00:17:00.099 --> 00:17:03.769
  • Israel and the jewish people.
  • 00:17:04.403 --> 00:17:05.637
  • And i think,
  • 00:17:05.637 --> 00:17:07.539
  • This is why i'm going to miss him.
  • 00:17:07.539 --> 00:17:09.675
  • I didn't ever know him. i didn't ever get to meet him.
  • 00:17:09.675 --> 00:17:12.044
  • But i was so intrigued with his work,
  • 00:17:12.044 --> 00:17:13.645
  • And i was so grateful that just earlier this summer, one of,
  • 00:17:13.645 --> 00:17:18.817
  • One of the senior advisors to charlie kirk
  • 00:17:18.817 --> 00:17:20.953
  • Had had asked to meet with me.
  • 00:17:20.953 --> 00:17:22.754
  • We spent some wonderful time together,
  • 00:17:22.754 --> 00:17:24.656
  • And he said, we need to figure out
  • 00:17:24.656 --> 00:17:25.924
  • How to get you guys together. i know your schedule's crazy.
  • 00:17:25.924 --> 00:17:27.826
  • Charlie's schedule is crazy,
  • 00:17:27.826 --> 00:17:29.595
  • But i think there's stuff you guys ought to do together.
  • 00:17:29.595 --> 00:17:32.097
  • Yes, you ought to interview him.
  • 00:17:32.097 --> 00:17:34.066
  • But we ought to talk about how to reach more young people
  • 00:17:34.066 --> 00:17:37.803
  • With, you know, and sort of deprogram
  • 00:17:37.803 --> 00:17:40.139
  • Them from this confusion and this attack from all sources,
  • 00:17:40.139 --> 00:17:43.809
  • Against israel and how how we can help
  • 00:17:44.576 --> 00:17:47.679
  • Charlie's voice be even more effective, more widespread.
  • 00:17:47.679 --> 00:17:51.783
  • And i was for that.
  • 00:17:51.783 --> 00:17:52.784
  • In fact,
  • 00:17:52.784 --> 00:17:53.318
  • I was thinking about
  • 00:17:53.318 --> 00:17:53.986
  • Possibly having charlie
  • 00:17:53.986 --> 00:17:55.087
  • Come and speak at future events for the joshua fund,
  • 00:17:55.087 --> 00:17:58.123
  • All israel news. and so forth.
  • 00:17:58.123 --> 00:17:59.324
  • We were certainly going to start covering him more and
  • 00:17:59.324 --> 00:18:03.195
  • It's a loss.
  • 00:18:03.529 --> 00:18:04.429
  • It's a very serious loss.
  • 00:18:04.429 --> 00:18:06.165
  • And again, i would say that god
  • 00:18:06.165 --> 00:18:07.399
  • Put his hand of anointing on charlie.
  • 00:18:07.399 --> 00:18:09.601
  • You can't explain how somebody goes from,
  • 00:18:09.601 --> 00:18:12.104
  • Nobody's ever heard of him to 15.4
  • 00:18:12.104 --> 00:18:14.473
  • Billion views just last year alone.
  • 00:18:14.473 --> 00:18:17.743
  • This is this was god's hand a favor on charlie
  • 00:18:17.743 --> 00:18:22.447
  • Because he preached the gospel and because he loved israel
  • 00:18:22.447 --> 00:18:25.484
  • And the jewish people.
  • 00:18:25.484 --> 00:18:26.485
  • And god says, starting in genesis chapter 12,
  • 00:18:26.485 --> 00:18:28.987
  • I will bless those who bless you.
  • 00:18:28.987 --> 00:18:31.190
  • And charlie was blessed
  • 00:18:31.690 --> 00:18:33.292
  • Because he loved israel and the jewish people.
  • 00:18:33.292 --> 00:18:36.528
  • Coming up next on the rosenberg report.
  • 00:18:37.396 --> 00:18:39.665
  • Now what what happens now that charlie kirk is gone?
  • 00:18:39.665 --> 00:18:43.468
  • With political violence skyrocketing, is america
  • 00:18:43.468 --> 00:18:46.838
  • On the verge of a deadly and diabolical civil war,
  • 00:18:46.838 --> 00:18:50.475
  • Or are we on the verge
  • 00:18:50.475 --> 00:18:52.077
  • Of the greatest spiritual awakening in american history?
  • 00:18:52.077 --> 00:18:55.147
  • Find out when the rosenberg report continues on tbn
  • 00:18:55.147 --> 00:18:59.084
  • Right after the break.
  • 00:18:59.084 --> 00:19:01.990
  • Right after the break.
  • 00:19:01.990 --> 00:19:05.557
  • Now what?
  • 00:19:05.857 --> 00:19:07.025
  • What happens now that charlie kirk is gone
  • 00:19:07.025 --> 00:19:10.195
  • And i'm struggling with this?
  • 00:19:10.829 --> 00:19:13.298
  • I will be honest with you.
  • 00:19:13.298 --> 00:19:15.167
  • And this is the question that i
  • 00:19:15.167 --> 00:19:17.236
  • That is sort of central on my mind right now
  • 00:19:17.236 --> 00:19:19.905
  • With political violence skyrocketing
  • 00:19:19.905 --> 00:19:22.975
  • Assassinations, you know,
  • 00:19:23.542 --> 00:19:25.444
  • President trump was almost assassinate twice.
  • 00:19:25.444 --> 00:19:28.747
  • And we've seen attacks against political leaders
  • 00:19:28.747 --> 00:19:32.284
  • In washington, in minnesota, all across the country,
  • 00:19:32.284 --> 00:19:35.921
  • As well as the rest of the violent,
  • 00:19:35.921 --> 00:19:39.024
  • You know, society
  • 00:19:39.458 --> 00:19:40.592
  • We've got in new york, washington, d.c., memphis,
  • 00:19:40.592 --> 00:19:43.862
  • Chicago and elsewhere.
  • 00:19:43.862 --> 00:19:45.631
  • But where are we?
  • 00:19:46.064 --> 00:19:48.166
  • Is america on the verge of imploding?
  • 00:19:48.166 --> 00:19:50.302
  • Are we on the verge of a civil war,
  • 00:19:50.302 --> 00:19:52.871
  • Or are we on the verge
  • 00:19:52.871 --> 00:19:54.006
  • Of the greatest spiritual awakening in our history?
  • 00:19:54.006 --> 00:19:57.276
  • And we just let's start with looking at the
  • 00:19:57.276 --> 00:19:59.411
  • The the possible civil war side.
  • 00:19:59.411 --> 00:20:01.380
  • Look vile, sickening, dangerous.
  • 00:20:01.380 --> 00:20:04.182
  • I would say demonic hatred is being unleashed.
  • 00:20:04.182 --> 00:20:07.552
  • And is it being unleashed
  • 00:20:07.552 --> 00:20:08.620
  • Even more in the wake of charlie's assassination?
  • 00:20:08.620 --> 00:20:12.591
  • Watch this sound bite.
  • 00:20:12.591 --> 00:20:13.692
  • Just at one example, i got to worry about this. say
  • 00:20:13.692 --> 00:20:17.929
  • “we got charlie in the neck.”
  • 00:20:18.664 --> 00:20:41.620
  • Well, this is exactly
  • 00:20:41.620 --> 00:20:43.522
  • The kind of madness that charlie warned
  • 00:20:43.522 --> 00:20:45.557
  • About wherever he went, right?
  • 00:20:45.557 --> 00:20:47.359
  • He he warned people that there are.
  • 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:50.796
  • There's a sickness.
  • 00:20:50.796 --> 00:20:51.797
  • There's a cancer.
  • 00:20:51.797 --> 00:20:53.131
  • It's coming primarily from the left.
  • 00:20:53.131 --> 00:20:55.767
  • He didn't discount that.
  • 00:20:55.767 --> 00:20:56.601
  • There's some,
  • 00:20:56.601 --> 00:20:57.836
  • You know, there's some madness on the on the far, far right.
  • 00:20:57.836 --> 00:21:01.340
  • But he was focused on the madness on the left.
  • 00:21:01.340 --> 00:21:05.544
  • And when somebody would actually take
  • 00:21:05.544 --> 00:21:08.547
  • A bullhorn and start singing, we got charlie in the neck.
  • 00:21:08.547 --> 00:21:11.783
  • In the neck, start singing.
  • 00:21:11.783 --> 00:21:13.285
  • They're celebrating the murder of an innocent man.
  • 00:21:13.285 --> 00:21:18.423
  • He's a non-politician.
  • 00:21:18.423 --> 00:21:20.058
  • He had no he had no power.
  • 00:21:20.058 --> 00:21:23.261
  • He wasn't a billionaire.
  • 00:21:23.261 --> 00:21:25.831
  • Not that either of those things would be ground
  • 00:21:25.831 --> 00:21:27.766
  • For assassination.
  • 00:21:27.766 --> 00:21:28.834
  • But i'm just saying what has been unleashed, the
  • 00:21:28.834 --> 00:21:32.771
  • The sort of sickness
  • 00:21:32.771 --> 00:21:34.539
  • That's inside people to celebrate the assassination
  • 00:21:34.539 --> 00:21:37.275
  • Of a young man, a father, a husband,
  • 00:21:37.275 --> 00:21:41.046
  • A christian who's trying to engage young people.
  • 00:21:41.046 --> 00:22:32.764
  • Well, i love that about charlie.
  • 00:22:33.398 --> 00:22:35.133
  • He he absolutely believed in engaging people.
  • 00:22:35.133 --> 00:22:39.504
  • Right.
  • 00:22:39.504 --> 00:22:40.639
  • Hey, you know, one of his themes was prove me wrong.
  • 00:22:40.639 --> 00:22:42.474
  • But he wasn't hostile.
  • 00:22:42.474 --> 00:22:44.042
  • He had strong opinions, but he really asked questions.
  • 00:22:44.042 --> 00:22:48.480
  • He wanted to engage people because he.
  • 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:50.482
  • And as you heard him say, twice,
  • 00:22:50.482 --> 00:22:53.618
  • When people stop talking, that's when violence erupts.
  • 00:22:53.618 --> 00:22:57.122
  • When people stop talking, that's when civil war erupts.
  • 00:22:57.122 --> 00:23:00.058
  • That's when civil war happens. this is what he worry about.
  • 00:23:00.058 --> 00:23:02.894
  • And i think that that raises the question.
  • 00:23:03.762 --> 00:23:05.630
  • It begs the question,
  • 00:23:05.630 --> 00:23:06.832
  • Are we on the verge of a civil war or spiritual awakening?
  • 00:23:06.832 --> 00:23:10.302
  • And i wish i could tell you the answer to that question.
  • 00:23:10.302 --> 00:23:13.738
  • I think
  • 00:23:13.972 --> 00:23:16.174
  • I think we're on the verge of a spiritual awakening now.
  • 00:23:16.174 --> 00:23:20.111
  • I certainly want that to be the case.
  • 00:23:20.111 --> 00:23:22.881
  • But it is.
  • 00:23:22.881 --> 00:23:24.549
  • It could go either way right now.
  • 00:23:24.549 --> 00:23:27.118
  • But for the grace of god and the and the and the lord
  • 00:23:27.118 --> 00:23:30.088
  • Jesus christ the father decided to pour out
  • 00:23:30.088 --> 00:23:32.724
  • His holy spirit on the united states
  • 00:23:32.724 --> 00:23:34.426
  • In a way that we haven't seen since the 1970s,
  • 00:23:34.426 --> 00:23:36.895
  • Since the jesus revolution,
  • 00:23:36.895 --> 00:23:38.296
  • When my father
  • 00:23:38.296 --> 00:23:39.431
  • Came to faith in jesus,
  • 00:23:39.431 --> 00:23:40.565
  • When my mother came to faith in jesus,
  • 00:23:40.565 --> 00:23:42.400
  • When i came to faith in jesus, when millions upon millions
  • 00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:46.037
  • And millions of americans lost, americans
  • 00:23:46.037 --> 00:23:49.941
  • Dramatically got saved in one of the great spiritual
  • 00:23:49.941 --> 00:23:52.777
  • Awakenings of our time.
  • 00:23:52.777 --> 00:23:55.146
  • We haven't seen that since.
  • 00:23:55.747 --> 00:23:57.215
  • Since the 70s.
  • 00:23:57.215 --> 00:23:58.316
  • I'm not saying people haven't come to faith in jesus
  • 00:23:58.316 --> 00:23:59.651
  • Since then. obviously they have.
  • 00:23:59.651 --> 00:24:01.219
  • But something happened in the 70s
  • 00:24:01.219 --> 00:24:04.589
  • That was truly an outpouring of the holy spirit.
  • 00:24:04.589 --> 00:24:06.758
  • We hadn't really seen that since the early and mid 1800s.
  • 00:24:06.758 --> 00:24:11.663
  • With the second great awakening
  • 00:24:11.663 --> 00:24:12.964
  • And the mid, early to mid 1700s in the united states.
  • 00:24:12.964 --> 00:24:16.868
  • And what became the united states,
  • 00:24:16.868 --> 00:24:18.270
  • What was known as the first great awakening,
  • 00:24:18.270 --> 00:24:20.105
  • When it wasn't just a few people here
  • 00:24:20.105 --> 00:24:22.173
  • And there, people coming to faith in jesus, that all good.
  • 00:24:22.173 --> 00:24:24.643
  • But something dramatic happened in the 1700s and 1800.
  • 00:24:24.643 --> 00:24:28.280
  • And then in the 1970s,
  • 00:24:28.280 --> 00:24:30.081
  • That was not like any other period in history.
  • 00:24:30.081 --> 00:24:32.851
  • That's what i want to see happen.
  • 00:24:32.851 --> 00:24:34.352
  • And i know that millions and millions of christians
  • 00:24:34.352 --> 00:24:36.121
  • Are praying that exactly this a revival inside the church
  • 00:24:36.121 --> 00:24:40.725
  • And a great awakening in the lost pagan,
  • 00:24:40.725 --> 00:24:43.895
  • Struggling, depressed, cynical culture.
  • 00:24:43.895 --> 00:24:47.198
  • But look at the the violence is so bad that either
  • 00:24:48.199 --> 00:24:51.303
  • We're just going to descend
  • 00:24:51.303 --> 00:24:53.038
  • Into more madness and the country is going to implode.
  • 00:24:53.038 --> 00:24:55.774
  • I wrote a book about this in 2012,
  • 00:24:55.774 --> 00:24:58.243
  • Asking the question, you know, implosion.
  • 00:24:58.243 --> 00:25:00.645
  • Can america recover from our economic
  • 00:25:00.645 --> 00:25:02.847
  • And spiritual challenges in time?
  • 00:25:02.847 --> 00:25:05.550
  • And we are on the edge of madness.
  • 00:25:05.550 --> 00:25:07.986
  • We are on the edge of descending into civil war,
  • 00:25:07.986 --> 00:25:11.690
  • But we may not.
  • 00:25:12.057 --> 00:25:13.525
  • And there are millions and millions of christians
  • 00:25:13.525 --> 00:25:15.994
  • Who are praying for a great awakening.
  • 00:25:15.994 --> 00:25:18.430
  • And i'm one of them,
  • 00:25:18.430 --> 00:25:20.098
  • Not just in the united states, but, of course,
  • 00:25:20.098 --> 00:25:21.666
  • A great spiritual
  • 00:25:21.666 --> 00:25:22.867
  • Awakening in israel and across the middle east as well. but
  • 00:25:22.867 --> 00:25:25.670
  • I don't know.
  • 00:25:26.037 --> 00:25:27.238
  • But i see so much, you know, more people have heard about
  • 00:25:27.238 --> 00:25:31.042
  • Charlie kirk and have heard his actual messages,
  • 00:25:31.042 --> 00:25:34.145
  • Clips of his messages
  • 00:25:34.145 --> 00:25:35.413
  • On social media, on broadcast television, on radio, elsewhere
  • 00:25:35.413 --> 00:25:38.483
  • In the last few weeks.
  • 00:25:38.483 --> 00:25:40.285
  • Then they heard maybe before.
  • 00:25:40.919 --> 00:25:43.955
  • I mean, in other words, god took charlie home,
  • 00:25:43.955 --> 00:25:47.325
  • You know, he let the devil kill charlie,
  • 00:25:47.325 --> 00:25:50.462
  • But sovereignly decided to bring charlie home.
  • 00:25:50.462 --> 00:25:53.164
  • And i think the reason is because charlie's voice
  • 00:25:53.164 --> 00:25:56.034
  • Is his gospel messaging is has been heard
  • 00:25:56.034 --> 00:25:59.204
  • More and will be heard more going forward
  • 00:25:59.204 --> 00:26:02.774
  • Than he even was in his brief, all too brief
  • 00:26:02.774 --> 00:26:05.477
  • Lifetime. so,
  • 00:26:05.477 --> 00:26:08.680
  • I already see,
  • 00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:10.882
  • From family and friends and other young people,
  • 00:26:10.882 --> 00:26:12.851
  • People turning to christ asking questions.
  • 00:26:12.851 --> 00:26:16.054
  • Why did charlie have such deep convictions?
  • 00:26:16.054 --> 00:26:18.490
  • Where did his faith come from?
  • 00:26:18.490 --> 00:26:19.758
  • And i see online and social media people coming to christ.
  • 00:26:19.758 --> 00:26:23.128
  • So that's my prayer.
  • 00:26:23.128 --> 00:26:24.763
  • But can i see it for certain i cannot.
  • 00:26:24.763 --> 00:26:27.365
  • So i encourage you, as we close the show this week.
  • 00:26:27.365 --> 00:26:30.268
  • Yes, pray for the peace of jerusalem.
  • 00:26:30.268 --> 00:26:31.736
  • Pray for victory in gaza.
  • 00:26:31.736 --> 00:26:33.605
  • Pray for the lord to bring spiritual and physical
  • 00:26:33.605 --> 00:26:37.042
  • And emotional healing to israelis and palestinians
  • 00:26:37.042 --> 00:26:39.377
  • Caught up in this terrible, ongoing war.
  • 00:26:39.377 --> 00:26:41.980
  • But pray for a great awakening and a great revival
  • 00:26:41.980 --> 00:26:45.483
