Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear mama's, what
- 0:02Speaker 1: did you think of Erica Kirk's speech last week?
- 0:04Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our America and mama a mad.
- 0:19Speaker 1: And Jini is now our American mama Terry Netderville. So,
- 0:22Speaker 1: Erica Kirk gave a speech on Friday night from the
- 0:27Speaker 1: Turning Point USA headquarters, from where Charlie would sit and
- 0:30Speaker 1: do his Charlie Kirk podcast and his radio show and
- 0:35Speaker 1: his television show on the Salem News Channel.
- 0:38Speaker 3: Did you watch, Oh my gosh, yes, I think all
- 0:41Speaker 3: of America watched this.
- 0:43Speaker 1: It was a huge audience.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Well, I think her strength in the wake of his
- 0:49Speaker 3: death was mesmerizing. I think we all didn't know what
- 0:54Speaker 3: to expect, because you see, when he was assassinated, I
- 0:58Speaker 3: think a lot of us for two days were numb.
- 1:02Speaker 3: We were didn't know what to do. Some a lot
- 1:05Speaker 3: of us just stayed on the phone, scrolling, trying to
- 1:08Speaker 3: get information and trying to make sense of something that's
- 1:10Speaker 3: so senseless.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:11Speaker 3: So, when we got word that his wife, Erica was
- 1:15Speaker 3: going to speak to the nation two days later, right,
- 1:18Speaker 3: everybody was like, oh, you know, sending out messages, you know,
- 1:21Speaker 3: to yeah, turn on the news. You know she's speaking,
- 1:26Speaker 3: and to see her get up there. You're so used
- 1:30Speaker 3: to seeing her smiling, and you know, you haven't really
- 1:33Speaker 3: seen this steely, strong woman. And some people mistook that.
- 1:38Speaker 3: And I'll tell you. She gets up there and she's
- 1:40Speaker 3: thanking everybody for trying to help save her husband. She's
- 1:43Speaker 3: thanking the Vance family right so much for how they
- 1:46Speaker 3: honored her husband.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Which I mean the Vice President of the United States
- 1:49Speaker 1: flying Air Force too out to fly Charlie Kirk's body home.
- 1:53Speaker 1: And then Usha Vance holding her hand as she's first
- 1:57Speaker 1: seen holding. By the way, did you see that when
- 1:59Speaker 1: she was in the the limousine and she held the
- 2:02Speaker 1: crossouts the necklace that was Charlie's necklace that she gave
- 2:06Speaker 1: to him, and he wore that every day after she
- 2:09Speaker 1: gave it to him. And so that's what that was,
- 2:11Speaker 1: that cross that she was holding out she was waving
- 2:13Speaker 1: to people, but Usha Vance was inside that holding her hand.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Yeah, we got to see a side of the Vances
- 2:19Speaker 3: that are they are our next first couple for sure.
- 2:22Speaker 1: I think you're right.
- 2:23Speaker 3: And then she thanked the president and told the President
- 2:25Speaker 3: in front of the whole world how much Charlie loved him,
- 2:28Speaker 3: and she got very choked up. But then there was
- 2:30Speaker 3: this moment where there was a change in her gaze,
- 2:33Speaker 3: there was a change in her being that we all
- 2:36Speaker 3: kind of like drew into, like whoa. And that's when
- 2:39Speaker 3: she was speaking to not only all of us, saying,
- 2:43Speaker 3: this mission will move forward, it will be tremendous, and
- 2:46Speaker 3: I will see to it. And she was promising Charlie,
- 2:49Speaker 3: she was looking up at the heavens and promising her baby,
- 2:51Speaker 3: her Charlie right. And then there was then at one
- 2:54Speaker 3: point her eyes got very steely, and she was talking
- 2:58Speaker 3: to the evil doers and she said, more than you know,
- 3:02Speaker 3: other than if you thought my husband's mission was powerful before,
- 3:06Speaker 3: you have no idea what you've unleashed. And then she
- 3:08Speaker 3: went on to say, the cries of this widow will
- 3:11Speaker 3: echo around the world like a battle cry. And when
- 3:14Speaker 3: she said that, she had a catch in her throat
- 3:17Speaker 3: that we all felt, and I thought, my gosh, this
- 3:20Speaker 3: is a woman who understands the importance of continuing the
- 3:26Speaker 3: legacy of her husband, who is beloved by so many.
- 3:29Speaker 3: And what you've seen since that, it's almost like we
- 3:31Speaker 3: it's almost like she gave us permission to stop grieving
- 3:34Speaker 3: in the way that we were grieving, and that use
- 3:37Speaker 3: that grief, use that.
- 3:39Speaker 1: In a more productive word.
- 3:40Speaker 3: Yes, like take it on. And now you've seen this
- 3:43Speaker 3: great awakening. You're seeing people online coming out talking about
- 3:49Speaker 3: you know, I haven't I walked away from God. Ten
- 3:52Speaker 3: years ago, I picked up my first Bible. You're seeing
- 3:56Speaker 3: football teams who were not allowed to prey on the
- 3:58Speaker 3: field four years ago. They're coming together before the game
- 4:02Speaker 3: from one end of the field to the other end,
- 4:04Speaker 3: taking off their helmets, kneeling in prayer. They have the
- 4:08Speaker 3: you know, the referees around them. Everybody is praying. Prayer
- 4:12Speaker 3: is back, and she's not wrong. There are prayer warriors
- 4:15Speaker 3: that are coming online saying, I hid behind the buzzwords.
- 4:19Speaker 3: You know, the universe tells you I am no longer going.
- 4:23Speaker 2: To do that.
- 4:24Speaker 3: Charlie has given me permission. And those that tried to
- 4:29Speaker 3: slander him and to fame his name. You have people
- 4:32Speaker 3: on the left that are coming out saying I want
- 4:35Speaker 3: no part of this. I want no part of this.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Because we all feel it, Stephen and Lewis, we all
- 4:39Speaker 3: feel the Holy Spirit is washing over this nation at
- 4:43Speaker 3: a speed with which we have never seen before. And
- 4:47Speaker 3: to have this woman, to have this esther rise up
- 4:52Speaker 3: and say, I'll tell you what, this will be bigger
- 4:55Speaker 3: than anything they've ever seen before.
- 4:58Speaker 1: I loved the phrase in there and she said make
- 5:01Speaker 1: Heaven crowded.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Ah. Yes.
- 5:04Speaker 1: And that's one of the things I think people miss
- 5:06Speaker 1: is that that was probably the central job of Charlie Kirk.
- 5:11Speaker 1: It wasn't to make conservatives. It was to make people saved,
- 5:17Speaker 1: to get them to accept the sacrifice that Jesus has
- 5:21Speaker 1: already made for them. That was his biggest mission, and
- 5:25Speaker 1: the other stuff kind of came with it. Erica Kirk
- 5:28Speaker 1: was very impressive. We'll see what she does now as
- 5:30Speaker 1: the new head, CEO and president of Turning Point. If
