• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We got a question for American Mamas. Dear Mamas, what's
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the best way to honor the memory of Charlie Kirk? Well,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: let's ask our American Mamas. Joining us now, our American Mama,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Terry Netterville. It has been a year since Since Charlie
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Kirk was assassinated at the University of, I guess it
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: was Utah Valley University, in front of a crowd of people,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: live on social media, you said earlier that you couldn't
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: believe that it's been a year.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I can't believe it. I cannot believe it's been a
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: year since that happened, and Yet at the same time,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I think about all that's transpired since then with regard
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: to his TPUSA and his wife and children and all
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: of that. But the question was, you know, how do
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: we go from here? What do we do in honor
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: of him, basically? How do we live our life? His
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: life mirrored his faith, and so it— came out in
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: every facet of his life. You could see him, whether
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: it was political talking points or if it was a
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: loving point that he's trying to make to somebody that
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: may be struggling with their gender or whatever.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: He lived his faith. He mirrored his faith with everything
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that he did and everything he said.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: It definitely came through. And even when somebody comes up and,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you know, they're obviously somebody who disagrees with him.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You mentioned transgender. There's several instances where somebody comes up
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and they say they're transgender, and instead of just coming
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: back and attacking them, he always comes back with, okay,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: let's talk about, it came with concern, right? It's like,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: why do you feel you're that way?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: It almost felt like a theologian with him, like he
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: was coming from a biblical point of view without being
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: pushy about it, or he was able to, in a
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: loving way, tell me your story. And then, you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: tell me your story. And I hope that what I
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: can do is help you be happy in your own
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: body that you're born into.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: There are a couple of things that were very unique
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: about Charlie Kirk. I'm not sure you can find another
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: single individual where the biblical knowledge and the American historical
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: knowledge and the economics knowledge was all at such a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: high level. You know, I mean, he had a command
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of all that.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: There's not another one like him. Yeah. There's not another
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: one like him. I saw videos, we all have seen them,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: where somebody would ask him a question or they would
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: try to stump him. Right. With the Constitution, about God
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: and the Constitution. His ability to not only recall biblical scriptures. Right.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: but also constitutionally sound. It was almost like his brain
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: was this one big computer chip. He didn't use notes.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: He would say these things off the top of his head,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: quotes from maybe whether scripture or from a philosopher from
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the 1600s. He was extraordinary. That's why I think a
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: lot of people, I mean, I think it was just
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: that one lone gunman, but I can see why people
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: have such conspiracy theories about his death? Because you do
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: have the sense that the left and the powers that
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: be on the left wanted him gone because of his influence.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Well, you could easily argue, and look, Speaker Mike Johnson has,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: that the 2024 election was, in a large part of
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: why Donald Trump won re-election, was because of the work
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that Charlie Kirk did with Turning Point USA in getting
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: young conservatives out to vote in numbers that hadn't been historically.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And I brought up Mike Johnson. There's another point I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: wanted to get to. You and I did not know
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: But we've had people on this show and we know
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: people personally who were very good friends with Charlie Kirk.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Like we're texting Charlie Kirk day of.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Right. Speaker Mike Johnson. Ben Shetler, who's been on the show,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Pastor Ben Shetler, he actually posted, you know, a text
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that Charlie Kirk sent him just a few weeks before
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: he passed away. So it's like we didn't know him,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: but we were we were connected to people who do
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and did. And so it feels like, you know. just
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: one degree of separation away from that tragedy.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: It does.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: It does. And we also feel like that we were
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: kindred spirits with him because he was part of a movement,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: start of this movement, that we all felt so aligned with.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: We felt like that we were all moving in a
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: direction towards light, towards biblical principle, and also he wanted
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: people to get back to the family, a husband, a wife,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: raising their children. He had a sign. I found out
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: he had a sign on his desk, and it said,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: these three things, these three questions. How can I help
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: someone today? How can I add value to the world today?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: How can I honor God today? I cannot think of
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: three better questions to start your day with.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: You want to, you know, you want to be the greatest,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you must be the least. And that first, how can
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I help somebody today? That's the right, that's the right attitude.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And yeah, if everybody was asking those same questions every
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: single day, It would be. So, yeah, that's a great
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: way to honor Charlie Kerr.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: And it's so genuine. And it not only makes their
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: lives better, it makes your life better.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: If you can make somebody leave your presence feeling better
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: about themselves, you know that you've done something in God's way.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Again, everybody that we know that knew Charlie personally, they
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: say he was present. He made you feel important. He
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: made you feel like he's paying attention.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: He did.
• 5:47
