0:15
Speaker 3: For earlier today, a huge crowd of over.
0:17
Speaker 2: One hundred thousand gathered in and around State Farm Stadium
0:22
Speaker 2: for the funeral of a man who has changed America.
0:25
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk's influence was profound before, but in death he
0:30
Speaker 2: is seen as immortal, a martyr whose message rings louder
0:35
Speaker 2: than ever.
0:35
Speaker 3: I'll be speaking to CJ.
0:37
Speaker 2: Pearson about the example Charlie Kirk has set the next generation,
0:41
Speaker 2: and also about Erica Kirk's astonishing.
0:44
Speaker 3: Act of grace.
0:45
Speaker 2: And me Horowitz will also weigh into the significance of
0:49
Speaker 2: today's service, and we'll look at the twelve key moments
0:54
Speaker 2: from today's memorial and we never forget left He's losing
0:57
Speaker 2: it tonight, starring this contempt corintable congresswoman.
1:02
Speaker 4: Any legacy this man has left behind that should be
1:05
Speaker 4: in the dust pen of history, and we should hopefully
1:09
Speaker 4: move on and forget the heat that he spewed every
1:12
Speaker 4: single day.
1:13
Speaker 2: Now, let's look at some of the key moments from
1:16
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk's funeral.
1:17
Speaker 3: There were so.
1:18
Speaker 2: Many poignant moments, so many fantastic speeches, none more so
1:23
Speaker 2: than Erica Kirk, who brought the whole stadium to tears.
1:28
Speaker 2: It took extraordinary strength, extraordinary grace to do this.
2:08
Speaker 5: Father, forgive them, for they not know what they do.
2:15
Speaker 6: That man, that young man, I forgive him.
2:45
Speaker 2: She explained that she forgave Charlie's killer because that's what
2:49
Speaker 2: Jesus would have done, and that's what Charlie would have done.
2:53
Speaker 3: Just an astonishing.
2:54
Speaker 2: Speech, and Erica had a message for young men, the
2:58
Speaker 2: message her husband not only preached, but he lived it
3:01
Speaker 2: every day.
3:03
Speaker 5: To all the men watching around the world, accept Charlie's
3:08
Speaker 5: challenge and embrace true manhood.
3:15
Speaker 7: Be strong and courageous for your families.
3:21
Speaker 5: Love your wives and lead them, Love your children and
3:28
Speaker 5: protect them. Be the spiritual head of your home. But
3:37
Speaker 5: please be a leader worth following your wife. Your wife
3:52
Speaker 5: is not your servant. Your wife is not your employee.
4:00
Speaker 7: Your wife is not your slave. She is your helper.
4:07
Speaker 7: You are not rivals.
4:09
Speaker 5: You are one flesh working together for the glory of God.
4:18
Speaker 2: Erica also had a message for young women, and as
4:21
Speaker 2: you listen to this. Remember that Charlie said Erica is
4:25
Speaker 2: far more conservative than he was. She's just the right
4:30
Speaker 2: person to propel turning point USA to even greater heights.
4:35
Speaker 5: Women, I have a challenge for you too, be virtuous.
4:43
Speaker 5: Our strength is found in God's design for our role.
4:48
Speaker 5: We are the guardians, We are the encouragers, we are
4:54
Speaker 5: the preservers. Guard your heart.
5:00
Speaker 7: Everything you do flows from it.
5:04
Speaker 5: And if you're a mother, please recognize that is the
5:08
Speaker 5: single most important ministry you have.
5:14
Speaker 8: Now.
5:14
Speaker 2: Vice President j. D. Vance gave a powerful speech. He
5:18
Speaker 2: talked about his faith, and he talked about Charlie's influence
5:22
Speaker 2: not only on himself but on the country.
5:25
Speaker 9: You know, I can't help but think that they tried
5:30
Speaker 9: to silence my friend Charlie Kirk. They tried to silence
5:34
Speaker 9: our dear friend, Charlie Kirk. And today, tonight we speak
5:40
Speaker 9: with Charlie and for Charlie louder than ever.
5:52
Speaker 7: The evil murderer who took Charlie.
5:55
Speaker 9: From us expected us to have a funeral today, and instead,
5:59
Speaker 9: my friends, we have had a revival in celebration of
6:03
Speaker 9: Charlie Kirk and of His Lord Jesus Christ. That I
6:08
Speaker 9: always felt a little uncomfortable talking about my faith in public.
6:12
Speaker 9: As much as I loved the Lord and as much
6:14
Speaker 9: as it was an important part of my life. I
6:17
Speaker 9: have talked more about Jesus Christ in the past two
6:21
Speaker 9: weeks than I have my entire time in public life.
6:27
Speaker 7: But JD.
6:27
Speaker 2: Vance wasn't going to sugarcoat the christis facing America with
6:31
Speaker 2: the modern left becoming increasingly violent and unable to tolerate
6:36
Speaker 2: different views in peace.
6:40
Speaker 9: I know that this makes you angry, just as it
6:42
Speaker 9: has made me angry. But it is easy in these
6:46
Speaker 9: moments to see only the worst of our fellow man.
6:51
Speaker 9: I found myself wishing that I could pick up the
6:54
Speaker 9: phone and talk to my friend and ask him for
6:58
Speaker 9: his advice in his council, to ask him how to
7:02
Speaker 9: respond to such hate and the souls from which that
7:05
Speaker 9: hate springs. But I can't call my friend because he
7:10
Speaker 9: was murdered for speaking the truth. I can only guess
7:15
Speaker 9: at what he might say and what he would encourage
7:18
Speaker 9: me to do. And here's what I think. I think
7:23
Speaker 9: he would encourage me to be honest that evil still
7:26
Speaker 9: walks among us, not to ignore it for the sake
7:30
Speaker 9: of a fake Kumbaya moment, but to address it head
7:35
Speaker 9: on and honestly as the sickness that it is.
7:38
Speaker 2: And that was a thing that senior Trump advisor and
7:41
Speaker 2: White House Deputy Chief of Star Stephen Miller also explored.
7:45
Speaker 2: He lays out the difference between conservatives and the anti
7:50
Speaker 2: West forces of the left.
7:52
Speaker 10: The light will defeat the dark. We will prevail over
7:57
Speaker 10: the forces of wickedness and evil. They cannot imagine what
8:02
Speaker 10: they have awakened. They cannot conceive of the army that
8:07
Speaker 10: they have arisen in all of us, because we stand
8:12
Speaker 10: for what is good, what is virtuous, what is noble.
8:16
Speaker 1: And to those trying.
8:17
Speaker 10: To incite violence against us, those trying to foment hatred
8:21
Speaker 10: against us, what do you have?
8:25
Speaker 1: You have nothing. You are nothing.
8:28
Speaker 10: You are wickedness, you are jealousy, you are envy, you
8:31
Speaker 10: are hatred.
8:33
Speaker 1: You are nothing.
8:34
Speaker 10: You can build nothing, you can produce nothing, you can
8:39
Speaker 10: create nothing. We are the ones who build. We are
8:43
Speaker 10: the ones who create. We are the ones who lift
8:47
Speaker 10: up humanity. You thought you could kill Charlie Kirk, You
8:53
Speaker 10: have made him immortal. You have immortalized Charlie Kirk. And
8:58
Speaker 10: now millions will carry on his legacy, and we will
9:03
Speaker 10: devote the rest of our lives to finishing the causes
9:10
Speaker 10: for which Charlie gave his last measure of devotion.
9:15
Speaker 1: You cannot defeat us.
9:16
Speaker 10: You cannot slow us, you cannot stop us, you cannot
9:19
Speaker 10: deter us. We will carry Charlie and Erica in our
9:23
Speaker 10: heart every single day and fight that much harder because
9:28
Speaker 10: of what you did to us. You have no idea
9:32
Speaker 10: the dragon you have awakened. You have no idea how
9:36
Speaker 10: determined we will be to save this civilization, to save
9:41
Speaker 10: the West, to save this republic.
9:44
Speaker 2: Secretary of State Marco Arubia got a standing ovation, well,
9:48
Speaker 2: most of the speakers did, and he talked about the
9:51
Speaker 2: fact that people around the world are grieving for Charlie
9:55
Speaker 2: and that senior members of Trump's administration were all in
9:58
Speaker 2: the one place to pay tribute to this man.
10:02
Speaker 11: Charlie Kirk was impactful, impactful because of all the things
10:06
Speaker 11: I've said.
10:07
Speaker 1: But look around this place. There's one hundred and something
10:10
Speaker 1: thousand people here.
10:11
Speaker 5: The President of the United States is here, his entire
10:14
Speaker 5: cabinet is here.
10:16
Speaker 8: Television are outlets and media outlets from all over the
10:19
Speaker 8: world are covering this.
10:20
Speaker 7: I just came from overseas and every country I stopped.
10:22
Speaker 5: They gave us their condolences for his passing, impactful and
10:26
Speaker 5: just thirty one years of life.
10:28
Speaker 2: Benny Johnson spoke about how his great friend saved his life.
10:33
Speaker 2: Before Charlie, Benny said he was a loser, an alcoholic,
10:37
Speaker 2: without a wife, without kids, without purpose. That's all changed.
10:41
Speaker 2: And he also spoke about what happened in Butler.
10:45
Speaker 12: The Apostle Paul describes how God establishes the rulers of
10:49
Speaker 12: the nations in the audience. Right now, there are rulers
10:54
Speaker 12: of our land represented. Right here is the State Department,
10:59
Speaker 12: the Department of Wars, the Department of Justice.
11:02
Speaker 1: The chief Executive. God has instituted them.
11:06
Speaker 12: God has given them power over.
11:10
Speaker 1: Our nation and our land.
11:12
Speaker 12: God saved our president, President Trump from an assassin's bullet
11:18
Speaker 12: for this moment.
11:23
Speaker 2: War Secretary Pete Hegzeth gave a powerful speech. He sees
11:27
Speaker 2: Charlie's murder as a turning point.
11:31
Speaker 13: My pastor texted me the day after that horrific event
11:35
Speaker 13: and said, Pete, the devil overplayed his hand. Charlie started
11:40
Speaker 13: with liberty but ended up lighting our country on fire.
11:44
Speaker 1: For Christ.
11:44
Speaker 13: He started turning point USA. But this moment is the
11:48
Speaker 13: turning point for the USA.
11:51
Speaker 2: Now, Tucker Casslon got a standing ovation before he even
11:54
Speaker 2: began his speech. He was clearly touched by what you see,
12:00
Speaker 2: what he was hearing and feeling at State Farm Stadium.
12:04
Speaker 3: He saw it as biblical.
12:06
Speaker 14: This is the most unbelievable thing I think I've ever seen.
12:10
Speaker 14: And I don't whatever happens next in America, I hope
12:16
Speaker 14: it's in this direction because God is here and you
12:19
Speaker 14: can feel it.
12:21
Speaker 7: And Charlie would have loved this.
12:23
Speaker 14: But the main thing about Charlie and his message, he
12:27
Speaker 14: was bringing the Gospel to the country. He was doing
12:31
Speaker 14: the thing that the people in charge hate most, which
12:35
Speaker 14: is calling for them to repent.
12:38
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk's producer, Andrew Colvit, said that Charlie was martyred
12:43
Speaker 2: and that he lived his life as a prophet.
12:45
Speaker 11: I see it now clearly that Charlie Kirk was a prophet,
12:50
Speaker 11: not the fortune telling kind that could predict the future,
12:54
Speaker 11: but the biblical kind. He confronted evil and proclaimed the
12:58
Speaker 11: truth and called us to repent and be saved.
13:04
Speaker 6: Amen.
13:11
Speaker 1: And he wasn't mean about it.
13:13
Speaker 7: He was kind and he was loving.
13:16
Speaker 2: The President gave a quintessential Trump speech, and it contained
13:20
Speaker 2: some lighter moments as he remarked on how he and
13:24
Speaker 2: Charlie differed.
13:26
Speaker 15: And I love me an American wrey stander.
13:33
Speaker 7: All forgetting the men who died.
13:36
Speaker 1: Who gave that right to me.
13:40
Speaker 7: He did not hate his opponents.
13:41
Speaker 16: He wanted the best for them. That's where I disagreed
13:46
Speaker 16: with Charlie. I hate my opponent and I don't want
13:51
Speaker 16: the best for them.
13:52
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I am sorry Erica.
13:55
Speaker 16: But now Erica can talk to me and the whole group,
13:57
Speaker 16: and maybe they can convince me.
13:59
Speaker 1: That that's not great. But I can't stand my a
14:01
Speaker 1: poetic I.
14:03
Speaker 2: Don't think Donald Trump is changing, and who can blame him?
14:06
Speaker 2: His opponents tried to put him in jail and bankrupt him.
14:10
Speaker 3: Now.
14:10
Speaker 2: The president also revealed that Charlie asked him to make
14:14
Speaker 2: Chicago great again, and he's determined to do just that.
14:19
Speaker 16: Raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Charlie was filled with
14:23
Speaker 16: the patriotic.
14:24
Speaker 1: Sperience from his youth, and he was an.
14:26
Speaker 16: All American and everything he did and one of the
14:29
Speaker 16: last things he said to me is, please, sir, save Chicago.
14:35
Speaker 3: We're going to do that.
14:36
Speaker 16: We're going to save Chicago from horrible crime.
14:40
Speaker 2: And one of the most moving moments was right at
14:43
Speaker 2: the end of the memorial when President Trump asked Erica
14:46
Speaker 2: to come back on stage. It's clear that the president
14:50
Speaker 2: and senior members of his administration have Erica's back.
15:36
Speaker 14: Now.
15:36
Speaker 2: There were plenty of other moving moments, plenty more laughs too.
15:40
Speaker 3: Let's have a look at Charlie's great.
15:42
Speaker 2: Mate, Donald Trump Junior doing a very good impersonation of
15:46
Speaker 2: his father.
15:48
Speaker 1: Have you been gotten the call from that guy a
15:49
Speaker 1: couple of times?
15:51
Speaker 5: You know?
15:51
Speaker 4: Done?
15:53
Speaker 5: Done?
15:56
Speaker 10: You're getting a little aggressive and social media done relaxes.
16:10
Speaker 2: And a young colleague of Charlie Kirk Mikey McCoy, like
16:14
Speaker 2: a number of other speakers, called Charlie a martyr.
16:18
Speaker 17: My friend was martyred for using his voice to engage
16:22
Speaker 17: in peaceful dialogue. Charlie's assassin thought that he could steal
16:28
Speaker 17: in silence his voice by putting.
16:29
Speaker 1: A bullet in his neck.
16:32
Speaker 17: In the words of Sore and Kuregarten, the tyrant dies
16:36
Speaker 17: and his rule is over. The martyr dies in his
16:39
Speaker 17: rule has just begun.
16:43
Speaker 3: Still to come.
16:44
Speaker 2: Lefties losing it, plus the misinformation campaign about the left
16:50
Speaker 2: wing violence we are seeing.
16:51
Speaker 3: Ami Horowitz joins me next.
17:00
Speaker 2: You're watching the Reader Panny Show, and it's time for
17:02
Speaker 2: lefties losing it now. While normal people from across America
17:07
Speaker 2: were gathering in Phoenix to pay tribute to Charlie Kirk.
17:10
Speaker 2: The line started the night before and by four am
17:13
Speaker 2: the crowds were huge. As you can see, they're full
17:17
Speaker 2: of young people, not just those geriatric misfits you see
17:21
Speaker 2: it those No Kings protests, but amongst the patriots who love.
17:25
Speaker 3: America just like Charlie did.
17:27
Speaker 2: There was a small group of misfits who thought it's
17:30
Speaker 2: a good idea to protest a funeral.
17:34
Speaker 3: Just gross, gross, and talking about gross. This happened in NYC.
17:39
Speaker 2: A group of contemptible far left imbeciles did their best
17:44
Speaker 2: to interrupt a somber.
17:46
Speaker 3: Vigil for Charlie. How did they do that?
17:49
Speaker 2: Well, one screechy cretion sang bella chow a message written
17:54
Speaker 2: on one of the unfired bullets, and then some sad
17:58
Speaker 2: soy boys sang about want the young Republicans to die.
18:03
Speaker 3: This is the modern left, ladies and gentlemen.
18:26
Speaker 1: I don't want your salvations.
18:30
Speaker 6: I want you.
18:33
Speaker 1: We're not going to give you a second chance. You
18:35
Speaker 1: when you've back for it. On your knees, begging and pleading.
18:40
Speaker 2: Just when you think the Left has hit rock bottom,
18:43
Speaker 2: they start digging. And that brings me to the Democrats
18:47
Speaker 2: who have incited so much of this hate, so much of.
18:50
Speaker 3: This hysterian violence.
18:52
Speaker 2: Listen here to Democrat congress Woman Elan Omar who shared
18:57
Speaker 2: a disgusting statement on x We shared this client that
19:01
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk was doctor Franken signed and his monster shot
19:05
Speaker 2: him through the neck. Well, here is Omar on CNN
19:09
Speaker 2: with Caitlin Collins doubling down.
19:11
Speaker 18: I think it was the video where it called him
19:15
Speaker 18: doctor Frankenstein and said his monster shot him through the neck.
19:17
Speaker 18: I mean, obviously, this is a person and looking at this,
19:20
Speaker 18: this is someone who was a husband and a father,
19:22
Speaker 18: and in the days after his shocking death that happened
19:27
Speaker 18: as a result of his views, or it happened as
19:30
Speaker 18: a result as he was sharing his views publicly with people,
19:34
Speaker 18: that people found it jarring to hear such criticism of
19:37
Speaker 18: that in the immediate aftermath of.
19:40
Speaker 4: What I find jarring is that there are so many
19:43
Speaker 4: people willing to excuse the most reprehensible things that he said,
19:48
Speaker 4: that they agree with that that they're willing to have
19:51
Speaker 4: monuments for him, that they want to create a day
19:54
Speaker 4: to honor him, and that they want to produce resolutions
19:58
Speaker 4: in the House of Congress honoring his slafe and legacy.
20:04
Speaker 4: It is one thing to care about his life, because
20:07
Speaker 4: obviously so many people loved him, including his children and wife.
20:12
Speaker 3: But I am not.
20:13
Speaker 4: Going to sit here and be judged for not wanting
20:18
Speaker 4: to honor any legacy this man has left behind that
20:21
Speaker 4: should be in the dust pen of history, and we
20:25
Speaker 4: should hopefully move on and forget the heat that he
20:28
Speaker 4: spewed every single day.
20:30
Speaker 2: Only one spreading hate is that hideously ungrateful woman. You know,
20:36
Speaker 2: it's only in the West where people who hate the
20:38
Speaker 2: country are accepted as migrants and allowed to.
20:41
Speaker 3: Run for public office.
20:43
Speaker 2: As for Charlie being left in the dustbin of history,
20:46
Speaker 2: is that what she said? Well, his message his name
20:49
Speaker 2: is bigger now than ever.
20:51
Speaker 3: Sorry, Ela. Now let's check in.
20:53
Speaker 2: On actress turn mad activist Cynthia Nixon. She's now boycotting
20:59
Speaker 2: lefty corporate Disney because they're not left enough. Apparently this
21:03
Speaker 2: is over the low rating Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off
21:06
Speaker 2: air after deliberately lying about Charlie Kirk's alleged killer.
21:11
Speaker 3: Suddenly the left cares.
21:13
Speaker 2: About the First Amendment and free speech, if only they
21:17
Speaker 2: knew what it meant.
21:18
Speaker 19: I just canceled my Disney Plus and Hulu subscriptions, and
21:23
Speaker 19: they asked me why I had other, and I wrote,
21:26
Speaker 19: because I believe in the First Amendment. Reinstate, Jimmy Kimmel.
21:30
Speaker 19: Now my whole family is really going to miss abid Elementary.
21:34
Speaker 19: We are really gonna miss only murders in the building,
21:37
Speaker 19: but you know what, we would miss the First Amendment
21:40
Speaker 19: a whole lot more. Don't go to the theme parks,
21:43
Speaker 19: don't go on the cruises.
21:44
Speaker 3: Cancel your subscriptions.
21:46
Speaker 2: Now, now let's hear from a race baiting past us,
21:49
Speaker 2: viewing nothing but lies and vitriol. Now, either he is
21:53
Speaker 2: lying and he knows he is lying, or is ignorant.
21:57
Speaker 2: There are no other explanations for what you're about to hear.
22:01
Speaker 20: Calling this nation to honor and venerate a man who
22:06
Speaker 20: was an unapologetic racist and spent all of his life
22:12
Speaker 20: sowing seeds of division and hate into this land. There's
22:17
Speaker 20: nowhere in Bible where we are taught to honor evil,
22:24
Speaker 20: and how you die does not redeem how you lived.
22:33
Speaker 1: You do not become a.
22:35
Speaker 20: Hero in your death when you were a weapon of
22:39
Speaker 20: the enemy in your life.
22:42
Speaker 2: And Charlie Kirk worked another miracle today.
22:45
Speaker 3: He brought feuding former bros Elon.
22:47
Speaker 2: Marston, President Donald Trump back together.
22:50
Speaker 3: And Elon had this to say about Charlie.
22:54
Speaker 21: Charlie was someone to hear your believed in dialogue, in
22:59
Speaker 21: open debate. He was a man of by years.
23:03
Speaker 1: He spoke eloquently.
23:05
Speaker 21: He basically never even raised his voice. He was a
23:08
Speaker 21: man of peace. And now he's been murdered in cold blood.
23:17
Speaker 3: Did you know him personally?
23:18
Speaker 21: Yes, of course we met many times.
23:20
Speaker 3: How was he like?
23:21
Speaker 21: I supported his opossession, I suported.
23:23
Speaker 18: Turning point from from Yeah.
23:26
Speaker 7: Finally, why was he killed?
23:31
Speaker 14: He was?
23:31
Speaker 4: He was.
23:32
Speaker 21: He was killed because his words made a difference, because
23:36
Speaker 21: he was showing people the light, and he was killed
23:41
Speaker 21: by the dark.
23:43
Speaker 2: Charlie was murdered by the dark for showing people the lie.
23:47
Speaker 2: That's quite profound and beautiful from Elon musk Let's bring
23:51
Speaker 2: in documentary filmmaker and commentator Army Horowitz. Army, what did
23:56
Speaker 2: you think of today's service? The emotion in the room palpable.
24:01
Speaker 3: It was quite powerful.
24:02
Speaker 15: It was incredible, and it just it's unbelievable to hear
24:07
Speaker 15: considering how dark what happened was, how evil it was.
24:11
Speaker 15: For them not to fall into that trap and to
24:14
Speaker 15: just focus on love and togetherness and camaraderie was incredible.
24:19
Speaker 15: The moment where Erica Kirk forgave him well, something beyond
24:23
Speaker 15: anything I could possibly muster up. And this is just
24:26
Speaker 15: a direct contrast to the left.
24:30
Speaker 1: It's a direct.
24:31
Speaker 15: Contrast to when I've gone to similar rallies on the
24:34
Speaker 15: left and all you hear is vitriol and hate and
24:39
Speaker 15: a call for violence. It really shows the difference between
24:43
Speaker 15: the two.
24:44
Speaker 3: Oh, it does.
24:44
Speaker 2: And you've experienced that, as you said yourself, you've been
24:47
Speaker 2: met with violence just for taking an American flag to
24:51
Speaker 2: a protest.
24:52
Speaker 3: You didn't even say anything, do anything.
24:55
Speaker 2: Just the presence of the American flag was enough to
24:58
Speaker 2: trigger these people into violent acts against you.
25:02
Speaker 15: Of an American flag. Yeah, I didn't buy a Maga sign, right,
25:06
Speaker 15: or some pro Israel sign. It was an American flag
25:10
Speaker 15: in America. Having Americans react to it, it's so fascinating
25:14
Speaker 15: how the left has devolved into violence. And look they
25:19
Speaker 15: say that there's you know, there's this narrative that it's
25:21
Speaker 15: white supremisists who are involved. And yes, look there's some
25:24
Speaker 15: truth to that, obviously, but with all large lies, they
25:27
Speaker 15: take a kernel truth and they distort it.
25:29
Speaker 1: Right, you look at doing here.
25:30
Speaker 15: Sure there is violence on the very hard far right,
25:34
Speaker 15: but it's such a small percentage of the demographic makeup
25:38
Speaker 15: of the right as opposed to the violence of the left.
25:42
Speaker 15: It's a much larger percentage of the democratic population.
25:45
Speaker 2: And we say case after case after case, and you've
25:50
Speaker 2: seen some polling recently that bears that out, where people
25:53
Speaker 2: who identify as left leaning or.
25:56
Speaker 3: Very left are quite openly.
25:58
Speaker 2: Saying, yes, acts of violence are justifiable in some cases.
26:02
Speaker 15: What's so fast thing about that poll is that it's
26:05
Speaker 15: a linear poll, right, the spectrum is very clear. The
26:09
Speaker 15: more left you are, the more prone to violence, which
26:12
Speaker 15: we kind of knew. What was fascinating was the more
26:15
Speaker 15: rain you are, the less you are calling from violence,
26:17
Speaker 15: and that people in the center actually call for more
26:20
Speaker 15: violence or accept more violence or political culture than people
26:24
Speaker 15: in the center rate does. Yeah, so fasting, fascinating, Paul.
26:28
Speaker 2: And completely contrary to so much of the media commentary
26:33
Speaker 2: on this issue, because they love running that line that
26:37
Speaker 2: the biggest threat is right wing extremism, and.
26:40
Speaker 3: That's just not the case.
26:41
Speaker 12: Now.
26:42
Speaker 2: We saw footage today of Charlie Kirk's final moments, his
26:47
Speaker 2: final day, and I was really touched by that. I
26:50
Speaker 2: wasn't expecting to see it. We saw a little bit
26:52
Speaker 2: of this about a week ago, but we saw a
26:56
Speaker 2: lot more today and he was just so full of life,
27:00
Speaker 2: so full of joy. He was on a university campus,
27:04
Speaker 2: massive crowd, beautiful day, and.
27:08
Speaker 3: The horror that followed is just unthinkable. Let's have a
27:11
Speaker 3: look at some of that footage.
27:14
Speaker 22: Did you want smile? Awesome, guys, thank you.
27:39
Speaker 2: That was Utah Valley University and you see Charlie there
27:42
Speaker 2: with a big smile on his face. It was always smiling, always.
27:46
Speaker 2: He was the joyful warrior. They killed a joyful warrior.
27:50
Speaker 15: I mean, I want to rewire my brain for that
27:53
Speaker 15: to be the image I remember Charlie Kirk as opposed
27:55
Speaker 15: to having seen those horrific images where I was just
27:59
Speaker 15: woken up. I was a different part of the world
28:01
Speaker 15: and I wake up to texts from friends and family
28:04
Speaker 15: telling me that he was killed, and I turn on
28:07
Speaker 15: Instagram and.
28:07
Speaker 4: I couldn't believe it.
28:08
Speaker 15: But those the images of him being murdered were all
28:11
Speaker 15: over the place and just seared into my memory. And
28:14
Speaker 15: those are the images I want to remember him, the
28:17
Speaker 15: happy warrior, the person who was open and friendly, which
28:21
Speaker 15: is so crazy because they're trying to make him the
28:25
Speaker 15: exact opposite.
28:26
Speaker 7: They keep us in the word hateful and hate.
28:29
Speaker 15: And you saw not just those images, but when he spoke,
28:31
Speaker 15: and if you listen, I have been listening to hours
28:35
Speaker 15: of what he was saying, and those debates, you don't
28:37
Speaker 15: hear any hate from him. It's openness, it's wanting to
28:41
Speaker 15: convince somebody else of its position.
28:42
Speaker 3: I thought hateful.
28:43
Speaker 1: It's the opposite of hateful.
28:45
Speaker 2: And the fact that again Commentitus, some people in the
28:49
Speaker 2: Natia who should know better, Democrats congresswoman are using the
28:54
Speaker 2: sort of language that the.
28:55
Speaker 3: Alleged killer used. It's almost exactly the same.
29:00
Speaker 2: Even this horrific murder, this assassination, hasn't been enough to
29:04
Speaker 2: wake them up that this isn't the way to go,
29:07
Speaker 2: this is not the way to engage in political debate.
29:10
Speaker 15: Yeah, but unfortunately a line on the left think it
29:12
Speaker 15: is right because remember words of violence. So if words
29:16
Speaker 15: of violence, then you can use violence to combat words
29:21
Speaker 15: because they're the same thing on a moral level. I
29:24
Speaker 15: guess nobody then had their parents tell them use your words,
29:28
Speaker 15: because they use their violence.
29:29
Speaker 3: That's it now.
29:30
Speaker 2: I mentioned earlier that elan Omer posted something terrible about
29:36
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk, casting him as some sort of a Frankenstein
29:39
Speaker 2: who created a monster who killed him. I mean that
29:42
Speaker 2: in itself is just so. It's not just ugly, it's
29:45
Speaker 2: full of lies. It was of someone from the left
29:48
Speaker 2: that killed him. It wasn't some turning point USA devotee.
29:52
Speaker 3: And she's doubling down Army.
29:54
Speaker 2: There is absolutely no self reflection, no apology, No I'm
29:59
Speaker 2: going to turn down the temperature and do better. She's
30:03
Speaker 2: doubled down on it on CNN without shame.
30:06
Speaker 23: I'm sorry surprised, of course, I'm still surprised because she
30:11
Speaker 23: can see this outpouring of grief, this she can see
30:16
Speaker 23: the reaction.
30:17
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's taken someone like her who exists in
30:20
Speaker 2: an echo chamber by surprise, but to not take even
30:26
Speaker 2: a moment to reconsider her position.
30:29
Speaker 15: Shame and remorse are not words or actions in the
30:33
Speaker 15: vocabulary of the left, And actually, on that see interview.
30:36
Speaker 15: I want to point something out that people haven't pointed
30:38
Speaker 15: out is that as horrific as I was, and it
30:41
Speaker 15: was obviously, but she had said to the CNN host said, well,
30:46
Speaker 15: do you agree that I have less brain processing power
30:50
Speaker 15: as a black woman. But the problem was that the
30:53
Speaker 15: host and of course I don't agree, but the host
30:56
Speaker 15: didn't say because we know that was debunked. The host
30:58
Speaker 15: knows that the hole didn't say, oh, I'm sorry, but
31:01
Speaker 15: he never said that. She kind of implied that he
31:04
Speaker 15: did say that, and she didn't agree with him, which
31:06
Speaker 15: is the entire problem, casting him as his evil person
31:09
Speaker 15: when it wasn't his words.
31:10
Speaker 2: Do you think Caitlin Collins is ignorant she didn't know that,
31:15
Speaker 2: or she chose not to make that correction because we
31:19
Speaker 2: know where her politics lies and she doesn't want to
31:23
Speaker 2: be sticking up for a Charlie Kirk and being critical
31:27
Speaker 2: of an eel an omer.
31:29
Speaker 15: Well, then she's either the worst journals in the world
31:32
Speaker 15: and didn't hear all that these bunking that went on,
31:35
Speaker 15: or she did and she chose to ignore it because
31:38
Speaker 15: she likes to cast people like us, people like me,
31:41
Speaker 15: I should say, and Charlie Kirk as he.
31:44
Speaker 2: Now Vice president jd Vance gave a superb speech, and
31:49
Speaker 2: he had this point in line.
31:51
Speaker 9: It is better to die a young man in this
31:54
Speaker 9: world than to sell your soul for an easy life
31:57
Speaker 9: with no purpose, no risk, no love, and no truth.
32:02
Speaker 2: I mean, what do you make of the role faith
32:04
Speaker 2: played in today's memorial? Just about In fact, every speaker
32:09
Speaker 2: talked about faith, and he was so important to Charlie.
32:12
Speaker 2: His Christian faith was the most important thing to him
32:16
Speaker 2: and his values. The way he lived his life, what
32:19
Speaker 2: he preached was centered around that.
32:22
Speaker 15: I mean, faith is an important part of what makes
32:26
Speaker 15: us more human, right, what makes what brings humanity out
32:30
Speaker 15: of us. And when we look at Charlie Kirk and
32:33
Speaker 15: say he was his happy warrior, well, that goes hand
32:35
Speaker 15: in hand with his faith, because that's what his faith
32:38
Speaker 15: taught him. I think that again, when we go back
32:41
Speaker 15: to contrasting the rallies of the left.
32:44
Speaker 1: These are rallies devoid faith.
32:46
Speaker 15: And when you don't have faith, you don't have a
32:48
Speaker 15: belief in God, that's when you devolve into violence, I think,
32:52
Speaker 15: and I think that that's why these we see what
32:56
Speaker 15: happened today in Arizona and Glendale. Arizona was such a loving,
33:01
Speaker 15: warm embrace of life as opposed to demonization.
33:05
Speaker 1: I think it's because of the faith.
33:07
Speaker 2: And yet at a funeral, we had the sort of
33:10
Speaker 2: security you might expect if you're entering the Oval office.
33:13
Speaker 2: It took hours for everyone to go through. No one
33:18
Speaker 2: was really complaining. You had the president, they're the vice president,
33:21
Speaker 2: just about every senior member of the administration, so you
33:24
Speaker 2: can understand. But the fact that you can't even have
33:28
Speaker 2: any sense of security at a funeral speaks to just
33:32
Speaker 2: what across this point there is in this country when
33:35
Speaker 2: it comes to political debate.
33:37
Speaker 3: There is nothing that's off limits.
33:39
Speaker 15: Those days are over, those days of being able to
33:44
Speaker 15: walk on a college campus, give a speech in an
33:47
Speaker 15: open area or over look. I get death threats all
33:50
Speaker 15: the time. Everyone I know who is in this world
33:54
Speaker 15: gets death threats repeatedly. Ben Shapiro can give a speech
33:59
Speaker 15: on a campus having fifty a pelax of security guards
34:03
Speaker 15: and police officer, not not to mention his own personal security.
34:06
Speaker 1: And I think what we learn is.
34:07
Speaker 15: That, look, if somebody wants to kill you, right, they're
34:11
Speaker 15: going to be able to do it. If they're to
34:13
Speaker 15: have to die, but they're willing to trade their freedom,
34:16
Speaker 15: they can do it. It's a scary time for people
34:19
Speaker 15: who want to speak out.
34:20
Speaker 1: But we have to.
34:21
Speaker 3: We just have to.
34:22
Speaker 1: We have no choice.
34:23
Speaker 2: I think it's something Douglas Murray said, when something like
34:26
Speaker 2: this happens.
34:27
Speaker 3: You spread the risk. I think it was actually.
34:29
Speaker 2: Quoting Ion Herciali, who's intimately aware of the horrors that
34:34
Speaker 2: can come from extremist attacking you for your opinion. Now,
34:38
Speaker 2: The New York Post has a great editorial on the funeral.
34:42
Speaker 2: They called it a message to the mainstream media. The
34:46
Speaker 2: editorial asks, was Jimmy Kimmel watching Sunday was ABC? Do
34:50
Speaker 2: they understand the bubble they've created? Not only do they
34:54
Speaker 2: not speak too or for these people that deny they exist,
34:59
Speaker 2: it is unsustainable.
35:01
Speaker 3: I mean, what's your reaction to that?
35:03
Speaker 2: Because you can tell there are many in the media
35:06
Speaker 2: who are shocked by this outpouring of grief, the fact
35:10
Speaker 2: that people have traveled from around the country to be here,
35:13
Speaker 2: that were lining up overnight. By four am in the dark,
35:17
Speaker 2: there were seemed like tens of thousands waiting to enter
35:20
Speaker 2: the stadium. The crowd was huge, and so many in
35:24
Speaker 2: the media are completely blindsided by that.
35:28
Speaker 15: Yeah, because look, you know, it's so interesting, the outrage
35:32
Speaker 15: we saw to Jimmy Kimmel's firing as compared to the
35:36
Speaker 15: outrage of an assassination of a cultural and political figure.
35:42
Speaker 15: It's incredible to me. This is what the left has done.
35:44
Speaker 15: It doesn't matter. There are more outrage about a hack
35:48
Speaker 15: comedian who had no audience right than truly a significant
35:54
Speaker 15: turning point in our culture. An assassination of a political
36:00
Speaker 15: did not draw as much higher from the left as
36:02
Speaker 15: a firing of Jimmy Kenner.
36:04
Speaker 2: And they didn't mention it at the Emmys. Did they
36:07
Speaker 2: not even a passing reference to this significant event?
36:11
Speaker 1: Do you think that was possible?
36:13
Speaker 2: I mean, you would think when I started saying major
36:17
Speaker 2: sporting leagues having a moment silence, doing some of them
36:22
Speaker 2: fairly lengthy tributes, I thought maybe the culture has shifted
36:26
Speaker 2: and that would be reflected in Hollywood.
36:28
Speaker 3: But no, Hollywood is running.
36:31
Speaker 15: Not only that, Hollywood demonized people in Hollywood who said
36:35
Speaker 15: anything nice about Charlie Kirk. Not that they who supported
36:38
Speaker 15: Charlie Kirk, God forbid, but people who said, like a
36:41
Speaker 15: killing a Charlie Kirk is a terrible thing. Like Christin Chenoworth.
36:45
Speaker 15: She got roasted by Hollywood for showing empathy it's.
36:49
Speaker 3: A six sick place.
36:51
Speaker 2: Now the left, the Democrats are suddenly passionate about free speech,
36:55
Speaker 2: or what they think is free speech. Jimmy Kimmel's a
36:58
Speaker 2: terrible program. Rating program has been pulled off air and army.
37:04
Speaker 3: It's incredible.
37:04
Speaker 2: They're trying to make Jimmy Kimmel the victim of this
37:08
Speaker 2: entire catastrophe.
37:10
Speaker 3: Somehow, here's the victim.
37:12
Speaker 2: Here's the one who's being targeted and persecuted, as opposed
37:17
Speaker 2: to the man who's had his life taken from him,
37:20
Speaker 2: and he was persecuted with the Biden DOJ they were investigating.
37:24
Speaker 2: Turning point in personally, he spoke about his sphere of
37:27
Speaker 2: ending up in federal prison if a Democrat was elected president.
37:33
Speaker 3: Again. Look, I'm not.
37:34
Speaker 15: A fan of the government getting involved as something, Agenmikim.
37:38
Speaker 15: I don't think it's a good idea. I think that
37:40
Speaker 15: that's a bad president. And I promise you your boomerang
37:43
Speaker 15: what there's a democratic president, but.
37:45
Speaker 3: It already has.
37:46
Speaker 2: This is the point that Republicans make those sort of
37:48
Speaker 2: arguments ring a little hollow because the Democrats go out
37:53
Speaker 2: of their way to silent their political opponents.
37:57
Speaker 3: So I don't know.
37:59
Speaker 2: I think perhaps if there's a they get a taste
38:01
Speaker 2: of their own medicine, if they're held to their own standards.
38:04
Speaker 1: I don't like it.
38:05
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll back away from this sort of cancel culture.
38:08
Speaker 15: No, no, I don't like it from either side.
38:09
Speaker 1: I don't think it's healthy.
38:12
Speaker 3: He's lost seventy percent of his He should have been sad.
38:15
Speaker 3: He should have been.
38:16
Speaker 15: I have no problem being firing, just like the government intervention.
38:20
Speaker 3: Of course, we don't want government intervention.
38:21
Speaker 2: But again, from what we've seen reported, he not only
38:26
Speaker 2: said something that was verifiably a lie, and he knew
38:30
Speaker 2: it was a lie, he still said it.
38:32
Speaker 3: He had no intention of backing away.
38:34
Speaker 2: Like Elano Omar, he wanted to go back on the
38:37
Speaker 2: next program and double down on those attacks. And in
38:41
Speaker 2: that scenario, I mean, what could ABC do. They've just
38:44
Speaker 2: had a massive payout. Unless they're just happy writing checks
38:48
Speaker 2: endlessly that to take some action.
38:51
Speaker 15: We're in the media business. We know they're not willing
38:53
Speaker 15: to rate. They're they're happy to rate endless checks. Look,
38:55
Speaker 15: they were looking for excuse, there's no question about it.
38:58
Speaker 15: I mean you so happen to Colbert? Yeah, it was
39:00
Speaker 15: a SAT Late night. Just isn't driving revenue the cars
39:03
Speaker 15: or out of control. Jimmy Keiller makes a huge amount
39:06
Speaker 15: of money relative the amount of audience they bring in.
39:09
Speaker 1: Oh, it's not worth it.
39:10
Speaker 15: They were looking for a reason and he gave it.
39:12
Speaker 2: Matts ain't math seeing as the kids say, it makes
39:15
Speaker 2: no sense?
39:17
Speaker 7: Is that what they say?
39:18
Speaker 1: They do say that.
39:19
Speaker 3: Something like that.
39:20
Speaker 2: How can he earn that salary with that pitiful audience?
39:24
Speaker 2: I mean, what sort of a business ra ABC running.
39:26
Speaker 2: If I was a shareholder, I'd be asking a few questions.
39:28
Speaker 2: I can tell you about that in Horowitz. Thank you
39:30
Speaker 2: so much for your time, Thanks for coming into coming
39:34
Speaker 2: up more on Erica Kirk's astonishing act of grace.
39:38
Speaker 4: C J.
39:38
Speaker 3: Pearson joins me.
39:39
Speaker 2: Next, we've just finished Charlie Kirk's memorial service. I've never
39:50
Speaker 2: experienced anything like that. I doubt over will again. I'm
39:53
Speaker 2: here with CJ Pearson. CJ, what did you take away
39:58
Speaker 2: from today?
39:59
Speaker 8: I think my take away today is that we are
40:00
Speaker 8: not just witnessing a funeral here, we're missing a revival.
40:03
Speaker 8: And I got to say that this is such a
40:05
Speaker 8: beautiful thing to see.
40:06
Speaker 1: But when JD.
40:07
Speaker 8: Van said that it is time for us to put
40:08
Speaker 8: on the armor of God and to get back to work.
40:10
Speaker 8: That resonated with me, and I think it resonated with
40:13
Speaker 8: the tens of thousands of people who.
40:14
Speaker 1: Packed into this arena. Actually not just arena, a stadium.
40:18
Speaker 8: This was Taylor Swift numbers that came out here for
40:21
Speaker 8: Charlie Kirk came out here for his message of loving
40:23
Speaker 8: your God, loving your country, loving your family. That assassin
40:27
Speaker 8: tried to end this movement with a bullet, but instead
40:30
Speaker 8: what he did is he led it to grow in
40:32
Speaker 8: a way which we've never seen before.
40:33
Speaker 1: And I don't think we ever could have predicted.
40:36
Speaker 2: Erica Kirk was just so powerful, so full of grace.
40:41
Speaker 2: I don't think there was a dry eye in the
40:43
Speaker 2: house here when she finished her speech. Where do you
40:48
Speaker 2: think that strength comes from to stand there less than
40:51
Speaker 2: two weeks after her husband was torn from her and
40:54
Speaker 2: to forgive his killer.
40:57
Speaker 1: It comes from God. There's no other explanation for it.
41:00
Speaker 8: To sit there, to stand on that stage and to
41:02
Speaker 8: say I forgive you, after she has gone through unspeakable pain,
41:08
Speaker 8: unspeakable hurt, unspeakable tragedy, and for her to have the
41:12
Speaker 8: power and the courage and the bravery to say those words,
41:15
Speaker 8: it's almost inhuman right. It's supernatural in a sense, but
41:19
Speaker 8: it's not supernatural. We know where it comes from. It
41:21
Speaker 8: comes directly from God. And I've got to say that
41:24
Speaker 8: she is a woman made for such a time as this.
41:26
Speaker 8: If there's anyone that can carry on the torch and
41:28
Speaker 8: the legacy of Charlie Kirk as her And you know,
41:31
Speaker 8: as a twenty three year old young man who's single,
41:33
Speaker 8: you know, oftentimes I would talk to Charlie and say, CJ,
41:35
Speaker 8: why are you getting married?
41:36
Speaker 1: And I wasn't in a rush.
41:37
Speaker 8: But when I think about the type of woman that
41:39
Speaker 8: I one day hope to marry, it's one that can
41:42
Speaker 8: stand there with such resolute strength in the face of
41:45
Speaker 8: adversity and keep going and keep fighting.
41:46
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what Erica Kirk is doing.
41:48
Speaker 2: And Erica Kirk had a message for young men in America,
41:52
Speaker 2: young men across the world, to all the.
41:54
Speaker 5: Men watching around the world, except Charlie's challenge and embrace
42:02
Speaker 5: true manhood.
42:06
Speaker 7: Be strong and courageous for your families, Love.
42:13
Speaker 5: Your wives and lead them, love your children and protect them.
42:22
Speaker 7: Be the spiritual head of your home. But please be
42:30
Speaker 7: a leader worth following.
42:33
Speaker 3: Tell me about that message.
42:34
Speaker 2: It's one that Charlie not only preached, but he lived it.
42:37
Speaker 2: He wanted his friends to live it. What did that
42:41
Speaker 2: mean to him?
42:41
Speaker 1: It was a call to action.
42:43
Speaker 8: It was a call to action for us to reject
42:44
Speaker 8: the narrative that comes from the left that we should
42:47
Speaker 8: be demonized for wanting to be protectors, wanting to be providers,
42:50
Speaker 8: wanting to be the men and the role and play
42:52
Speaker 8: the role of men that God calls us to play.
42:55
Speaker 8: And so I take it again as a call to action.
42:57
Speaker 8: I think it's not for us to all get to work.
42:59
Speaker 8: It's not for us to dig deeper, to fight harder,
43:02
Speaker 8: and to leave it all out on the field.
43:04
Speaker 1: For Charlie and for his legacy.
43:05
Speaker 2: And when she spoke about embracing real manhood, what does
43:11
Speaker 2: that mean to you?
43:12
Speaker 8: I think exactly what you said, you took the words
43:13
Speaker 8: out of my mouth, you know, not treating you know,
43:15
Speaker 8: women as our servants, but as our partners, being one flesh.
43:19
Speaker 8: And to realize that we were all in this together.
43:21
Speaker 8: We're all fighting for a more perfect union, a better
43:23
Speaker 8: America that serves us better and truer. And again, it
43:28
Speaker 8: was a call to action to be who God calls
43:31
Speaker 8: us to be, and if more of us reflected that promise,
43:35
Speaker 8: reflected that cold action, the world would be a better
43:38
Speaker 8: place now.
43:40
Speaker 2: The service from start to finish was so spiritual. Charlie's
43:46
Speaker 2: faith was the central point throughout. It was about family,
43:51
Speaker 2: it was about freedom, country, but at the foremost it
43:55
Speaker 2: was about faith.
43:56
Speaker 8: You're right, and I think that's what you know. Of course,
43:59
Speaker 8: I think resonated with so many people in this room.
44:01
Speaker 8: And while you're seeing here in America churches being full,
44:04
Speaker 8: parking lots outside of them being full, because he didn't
44:06
Speaker 8: only just lead people to truth, he led them to God,
44:09
Speaker 8: because he realizes that all of truth derives from the
44:12
Speaker 8: most ultimate truth, the word of our Holy Father. And
44:15
Speaker 8: so I've got to say, it's incredible to see so
44:17
Speaker 8: many young people flocking towards tradition. We've already seen it.
44:20
Speaker 8: We've seen study after study saying that young men are
44:22
Speaker 8: running back to church.
44:23
Speaker 1: And I got to say that is.
44:25
Speaker 8: A good fortune for America, good fortune for the West,
44:27
Speaker 8: and I'm excited to see where this movement goes now.
44:30
Speaker 2: Jd Vance mentioned that he loves his faith, his relationship
44:34
Speaker 2: with God, but he's never been really comfortable talking about it.
44:39
Speaker 2: But in the past two weeks he said he's publicly
44:41
Speaker 2: spoken about God more than he has possibly throughout his
44:46
Speaker 2: entire adult life.
44:47
Speaker 3: Do you think that's.
44:48
Speaker 2: Going to become a trend with prominent people not being
44:53
Speaker 2: ashamed to say what their faith is and what it
44:57
Speaker 2: means to them.
44:57
Speaker 8: You know that story resonated with me because I can
45:00
Speaker 8: relate to it a lot, and I think that it
45:02
Speaker 8: is going to be an increasing trend. And the reason
45:05
Speaker 8: being is that when things like this happen, the only
45:07
Speaker 8: thing that can really get you through it is God.
45:09
Speaker 8: Because it doesn't make any sense why such an evil
45:11
Speaker 8: person would put a bullet inside of Charlie Kirk simply
45:16
Speaker 8: for having different opinions than he did, for standing for God,
45:20
Speaker 8: for country and for faith and all of those things.
45:23
Speaker 8: Why should such an evil happen? But it's about what
45:26
Speaker 8: came after that this would not have been possible. People
45:29
Speaker 8: would not be flocking towards the truth, flocking towards church
45:32
Speaker 8: if he had not made the sacrifice of his life
45:34
Speaker 8: that he did.
45:35
Speaker 1: And it's a.
45:36
Speaker 8: Hard thing to conceptualize, but it's one of which that
45:40
Speaker 8: if you believe in God and you have faith, it slowly.
45:42
Speaker 1: Starts to make sense. And so I think it will
45:44
Speaker 1: become more of a trend now.
45:46
Speaker 3: Charlie was called a joyful warrior.
45:48
Speaker 2: I always had a smile on his face, He never
45:51
Speaker 2: lost his temper, He was always kind. And today we
45:55
Speaker 2: saw some footage we haven't seen before of his final minutes,
45:59
Speaker 2: final hour when he went into that university and he
46:02
Speaker 2: was so happy, so full of life, and so full
46:06
Speaker 2: of positivity. It really was so heartbreaking to say that,
46:11
Speaker 2: and then to know what followed.
46:13
Speaker 1: It was absolutely devastating.
46:14
Speaker 8: And every single day he laced up his boots and
46:17
Speaker 8: he went out there on the battlefield of ideas and
46:20
Speaker 8: fought for everything that he believed in. And that passion,
46:23
Speaker 8: that energy should be what fuels us in the days ahead,
46:25
Speaker 8: in the months ahead, and the years ahead. We've got
46:27
Speaker 8: to fight like Charlie. And we've got to fight for
46:29
Speaker 8: Charlie because his legacy should not die with him. It
46:32
Speaker 8: should be alive. It is alive.
46:34
Speaker 1: We see it in this room here today.
46:35
Speaker 8: One hundred thousand people that did more numbers than Elvis Presley.
46:39
Speaker 8: Folks are saying right, and I gotta say again, like
46:43
Speaker 8: you said, there was no dry eye in this room
46:47
Speaker 8: after hearing all those incredible speakers and there was a
46:49
Speaker 8: very very obvious reason for that.
46:51
Speaker 2: New York Post is reporting there were two hundred thousand
46:54
Speaker 2: people in and around the stadium, so the crowd numbers
46:57
Speaker 2: are completely incredible.
47:00
Speaker 3: But we do have the left.
47:01
Speaker 2: We have mainstream Democrats saying that Charlie was a hateful
47:07
Speaker 2: figure shouldn't be celebrated. Ilinomar, I think said he's able
47:10
Speaker 2: to be a footnote in history. I mean, it's such
47:13
Speaker 2: a callous remark to make at any time, but particularly now.
47:17
Speaker 3: What's your response to her and others like it?
47:20
Speaker 1: I think it's disgusting.
47:21
Speaker 8: But I think when Maya Angelu said, when Shulman shows
47:23
Speaker 8: you who they are, believe in the first time, and
47:25
Speaker 8: I think the left has shown us exactly who they are.
47:27
Speaker 8: You know, when their heroes die, what do conservatives do?
47:30
Speaker 8: We pray for them? When our heroes die, what do
47:32
Speaker 8: they do? They dance on their graves. And it's a sick,
47:35
Speaker 8: sick thing that I think that we can only do
47:37
Speaker 8: is pray for healing for them. What I'll say is
47:40
Speaker 8: what I love to have seen after this is that
47:43
Speaker 8: we didn't go and burn down buildings, We didn't go
47:45
Speaker 8: and riot.
47:45
Speaker 1: What did we do? We let up candles and we
47:48
Speaker 1: prayed together.
47:50
Speaker 8: And I think that is what differentiates us from the
47:53
Speaker 8: left and the right, simple.
47:54
Speaker 2: As that it's all good to talk about unity and
47:57
Speaker 2: coming together, but how realistic is that when you've got
48:00
Speaker 2: a certain percentage of the country that thinks violence is
48:04
Speaker 2: a reasonable response to disagreement.
48:07
Speaker 1: Not just a certain percentage.
48:08
Speaker 8: According to a you gov poll, nearly fifty percent of
48:10
Speaker 8: those who identify as liberal belie poltical violence is at
48:13
Speaker 8: times justified.
48:14
Speaker 1: You know, how can we unify with these people? You know?
48:17
Speaker 8: I think that what we need to do is we
48:18
Speaker 8: need to again remind ourselves of what American actually being.
48:23
Speaker 1: You know what that actually means, and it means.
48:24
Speaker 8: Having an appreciation for free speech, the discourse, and the
48:27
Speaker 8: exchange of ideas.
48:28
Speaker 1: And we've got to get back.
48:29
Speaker 8: To that for the sake of our country, for the
48:32
Speaker 8: survival of our country, if to get back to it.
48:34
Speaker 8: But as you said, I'm deeply troubled by those stats.
48:36
Speaker 8: I'm deeply troubled by those polling numbers. And hopefully we
48:39
Speaker 8: can figure out a way to write this shit before
48:41
Speaker 8: it's two eight.
48:42
Speaker 3: The revival started today.
48:44
Speaker 1: It started today, and it's not ending.
48:46
Speaker 3: Cig I Pierson, thank you for a time, and that's
48:49
Speaker 3: it from May tonight.
48:50
Speaker 2: I'll see you at eleven tomorrow night from Phoenix, Arizona.
48:53
Speaker 3: Coming up next, it's Newsnight.
