  Speaker 1: Speaking of light a light on our show, our American mama,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Terry Netteville, thank you for joining us and coming in.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I know we normally do the little mama question thing,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: but I think our question is how are you processing today?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I've been processing since I got the word. I happened
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: to be on the phone with my son Slade when
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: I got the word that he had been shot. We
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: talked about it. I felt sick to my soul, not
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: just sick to my stomach, just oh woll stick to
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: my soul. I was scared because somehow I knew this
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: was this was bad. And then I saw the video
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: that I wish I had never seen. It was a
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: close up.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, can I can? I just suggest for anybody, if
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you haven't seen the video, don't don't don't see the video.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: You don't need to see it. You've got to protect
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: what it is that goes into your eyes, because that
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: goes directly to your brain. You've got to protect because
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: as a man thinketh so is he. So if you
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: don't need to see the video, you can't unsee it.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: You can't trust us.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: It's horrifying. And so as continued I was praying, I cried,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I was asking God, why, why is this happening? And
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: then I got the word that he passed away, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I was full of rage. Are really I've never felt
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: like this before? Rage? Rage. I have never wanted justice
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: so badly in my life. I feel like this is
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the first time in my life. I thought, Oh, all March,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: where do I go? What do I do? You have
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: to understand that Charlie Kirk was a man of great faith,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: deep faith. He went into the Lions Den, as y'all
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: said before he went in, and he went. He wanted
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: to open up and have a safe space for dialogue
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: for these college kids. He went to space that really
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: politicians did not go into. Yeah, he decided or he
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: understood the importance of the young boat. He understood these
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: this is our future. So he would go in there
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and he would allow those of dissenting ideas to come
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: in and ask him anything, and he responded with love
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and grace. He responded with words of God, God's promises.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: And James Wood posted a picture and it was.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: The actor James Wood.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, there was a picture of Charlie with his wife Erica,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: their two little children, and he said, this is what
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: they hate. They hate the American family and the American
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Christian values. They hate the fact that he was making
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: his voice was being heard. Not only was he being heard,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: he was changing minds in hearts.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I think if you look at some of the data
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: from the last election, one of the groups that moved
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the most towards the right was young men college aged men.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: That something that Charlie was doing with Turning Point USA,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: because they were on every campus in the country pretty
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: much was resonating with young men where they're going, Yeah,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I hear what he's saying.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Because he was giving them permission to be men, to
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: be the men that God meant for them to be. Right,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: you know, they've been so suppressed and you know, you're
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you're they're vilified if they don't act beta or if
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: they don't acknowledge that yeah, it's okay to be you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: to date someone that's by or whatever's that's over. And
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what this. Let me tell you something.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: They have no idea. They have no idea what they've
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: just done. They have no idea what has been unleashed
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: in all of us. They have no idea how we
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: can stand up to They have no idea. They have
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: just made Charlie a martyr completely. They have just made
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: this man, this thing that we all want to aspire
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: to be. And I'm telling you this generation, as I
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: said to Slade, I said, slave for your whole life.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I didn't know why I was even saying it, but
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I remember telling you kids, your generation is going to
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: save us. I didn't even know what I was talking about,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: because this is before social media, but I knew that
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: we were kind of blinded. We weren't allowed to see everything.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: And as social media came out, I said to my children, I said,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you your generation, you're strong, you can do this.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk was on the forefront. And the thing that
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: they hated the most is that he did. Everything he
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: did was through love, through the lens of love and
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: of guidance and of God's promises.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And yet they've been distorting that today because if you'll
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: read mainstream media, big media articles about Charlie Kirk, I
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: just I haven't read all of them. But here's my
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: challenge to you. If you anybody want to just play
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: this game, go read one and see if it has
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the word divisive in it. I bet it does. I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: bet every article from big media has the word divisive.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Charlie Cook was divisive. Charlie Corker wasn't divisive. He listened
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and he encouraged dialogue. How is that divisive? So there
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: are gonna be people who haven't actually spend any time
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: listening to what Charlie Kirk had to say, who will
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: be denouncing things that Charlie Kirk may or may not
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: have said.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Right. Well, the beautiful thing that I am seeing because
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I am seeing those and the posts that people are making.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: But you have some high powered liberals that are coming
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: out that are so sad it is such a tragedy,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and you're having them come out and say this is
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: uncalled for because they are Charlie had a way of
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: even ingratiating himself into their world. He was supposed to
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: do a podcast with some guy named Pike or something.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: He was left and all of his viewers are like, yeah,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: you know, good, good riddance, you deserved it. And he
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: got on there and he's like, stop it. This guy
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: was open to talking to us, trying to hear us,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: trying to allow us to say how we feel, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: even if we didn't disagree. He was a good man
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and that's what he was. He was a good man,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: full of faith. When you saw him on this campuses,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: these kids would sometimes just just rail him and they
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: would take personal shots. Oh completely, and how would he respond.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: He usually laughed it off.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: He laughed it off, or he would say, Okay, well
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: let's get down to your question. Let me He was
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: so kind, He was such a warrior for God. He
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: was such a wonderful Christian. And we all know that
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Christians are under attack right now. We feel it. And
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: my advice to the left leaders in this country, you
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: better jump on board right now and tell all of
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: your constituents this is terrible, deplorable, we don't want this.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: You were using the phrase warrior. I'd like to add
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: an adjective to that. I think Charlie Kirk was a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: happy warrior, absolutely, and I think that's part of why
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: he was effective, was because he was a happy warrior.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: There's a difference between being just a warrior and being
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a happy warrior. And he was a happy warrior for liberty,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: a happy warrior for God, a happy warrior for family,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: a happy warrior for America. And I think that's part
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: of why he was so successful at what he was doing.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: And I hope that America will pray for his wife,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Erica and his two little bitty children, because their life
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: has been altered forever and so unfairly
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: And we now need more happy warriors
