- 0:00Speaker 1: Let's get to a question for American mamas. Dear mamas,
- 0:02Speaker 1: did you watch Charlie Kirk being awarded the Presidential Medal
- 0:06Speaker 1: of Freedom.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mama's.
- 0:16Speaker 1: All right, so do we have Terry's micup? Okay, so
- 0:20Speaker 1: joining us now, our American mama, Terry Netterville, Welcome to
- 0:24Speaker 1: the show. So you're a big fan of Charlie Kirk.
- 0:27Speaker 1: I'm assuming you did watch Yes, Yeah.
- 0:30Speaker 2: I did.
- 0:30Speaker 3: I watched it, and I'm just constantly amazed by a
- 0:35Speaker 3: few things. First of all, the superhuman strength of his wife. Yeah,
- 0:40Speaker 3: during this grief, you know, the grieving stages, and she's
- 0:44Speaker 3: able to go and just articulate herself in such a
- 0:48Speaker 3: way that you can just feel the love and the
- 0:51Speaker 3: mission that she has at hand, like she will carry
- 0:53Speaker 3: on his legacy. But I'm also just struck enormously by
- 0:59Speaker 3: our president and with everything he's had going on this week,
- 1:03Speaker 3: and he makes sure to be back in time to
- 1:06Speaker 3: honor Charlie Kirk in this way.
- 1:08Speaker 1: He wrapped it up in Egypt pretty quick because he
- 1:10Speaker 1: had to get on the plane and get back in
- 1:11Speaker 1: time for for the Presidential Metal. From I read several
- 1:15Speaker 1: articles that talked about how Donald Trump rushed things in
- 1:19Speaker 1: Egypt so that he could get back for the presidential medal.
- 1:22Speaker 3: They wanted him to have dinners, they you know, all
- 1:25Speaker 3: of these leaders wanted time with him, and his priority
- 1:28Speaker 3: was to get back. And it's one of those things
- 1:30Speaker 3: that a lot of people, especially on the left, they
- 1:32Speaker 3: say that he doesn't have empathy for people.
- 1:34Speaker 2: You know, he doesn't seem to have a heart.
- 1:36Speaker 3: He has a huge heart, and he may not show
- 1:39Speaker 3: it in the moment like everybody else, but he has
- 1:41Speaker 3: this ability like right now, given him, given Charlie Kirk
- 1:45Speaker 3: post top post, what do you call that? But to
- 1:52Speaker 3: give it to him in that way is says everything
- 1:57Speaker 3: to me.
- 1:58Speaker 1: So one of the things that I also thought was
- 1:59Speaker 1: interesting you you mentioned Erica Kirk, and I have been
- 2:02Speaker 1: tremendously impressed by her since the assassination of her husband.
- 2:08Speaker 1: She is amazing. She's got grace, she's got intelligence, she's
- 2:13Speaker 1: got courage, but she also has humor. Did you notice
- 2:17Speaker 1: in the middle of that presentation she was ribbing President.
- 2:21Speaker 1: He's standing right behind her and she ribs him. She says,
- 2:23Speaker 1: Charlie used to pray for his enemies, and he really did.
- 2:28Speaker 1: He really did pray for he.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Was responding to him because he made fun of that
- 2:31Speaker 3: when his time he's to stay in that he didn't
- 2:34Speaker 3: believe that, you know, he never you know, I don't.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Know if that's true. And she was basically saying, oh,
- 2:38Speaker 2: it was true. But it's just.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Fun to see that back and forth.
- 2:41Speaker 2: He saw him that genuine smile, that big smile.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Right.
- 2:45Speaker 3: It was such a sweet moment because they both it
- 2:48Speaker 3: was levity, yes, you know, and I love the way
- 2:52Speaker 3: that he apparently after things were over, he stood by
- 2:56Speaker 3: her as a as the music played amazing grace And
- 3:00Speaker 3: if you watched it, you saw in the background Charlie's parents.
- 3:05Speaker 3: And that's another thing I want to say, like, we
- 3:07Speaker 3: pray for Erica and she's got you know, that was
- 3:10Speaker 3: his soulmate, that was the mother of his children, and
- 3:14Speaker 3: she will continue that fight and that mission for him
- 3:17Speaker 3: because that love is just everlasting. And then I look
- 3:20Speaker 3: at the parents and I think about, you know, how
- 3:22Speaker 3: you put yourself in those situations. Sure, I cannot imagine
- 3:27Speaker 3: what they are going through to lose their thirty one
- 3:29Speaker 3: year old baby son. And there, you know the light,
- 3:34Speaker 3: you know, he illuminated every room and everyone said he
- 3:36Speaker 3: probably would end up being president one day. All the
- 3:39Speaker 3: hopes and dreams that die with your child.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Everybody, but Charlie Kirk was saying that, right. There's several
- 3:44Speaker 1: interviews where Charlie Kirk's like, no, right, I don't know, no,
- 3:47Speaker 1: and Erica's.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Says he said that he would if if the country
- 3:52Speaker 3: needed it at the time, at the right time, So
- 3:55Speaker 3: he knew that was something that might be in the future.
- 3:58Speaker 3: But I just you know, the one thing that she
- 4:01Speaker 3: also does, she brings up.
- 4:05Speaker 2: His children.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Yes, she wanted to impress upon us what her children,
- 4:08Speaker 3: what her daughter.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Said, yeah, for his birthday, birthday, and that his son
- 4:12Speaker 2: sixteen months old is potty trained. You know.
- 4:14Speaker 3: That was incredible. But I saw something I wanted to
- 4:17Speaker 3: read this. It was on do you all know Brandon Tatum.
- 4:21Speaker 1: He's okay, Officer Tatum.
- 4:23Speaker 2: He Officer Tatum.
- 4:23Speaker 1: He's on black voices for Trump. Part of that.
- 4:26Speaker 3: He's incredible. I love listening to him. There is a
- 4:29Speaker 3: sight that's going around. These are thirty one things that
- 4:31Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk did. And if you want to live like
- 4:34Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk, and I think some of it, I think
- 4:37Speaker 3: you probably do. And some of it we all need
- 4:39Speaker 3: to do. But some of the things that were, you know,
- 4:42Speaker 3: honor of the Sabbath. Journal every day, send scripture to
- 4:46Speaker 3: your friends, have conversations with people you disagree with, get married,
- 4:51Speaker 3: have kids, go to church, work out, get son, Ask
- 4:54Speaker 3: your spouse, spouse, how can I better serve you? Read
- 4:57Speaker 3: your Bible every day. Stand up for you beliefs, he said,
- 5:01Speaker 3: eat hot sauce. I do that actually every day, carry
- 5:04Speaker 3: a pocket constitution, and support your local businesses and own
- 5:08Speaker 3: and on and oh, don't be afraid of what others
- 5:10Speaker 3: think of you. And touch grass, get out in nature.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Which he loved to do. Apparently he loved to take walks.
- 5:16Speaker 3: If we did this, you know how hard would it
- 5:19Speaker 3: be to take He literally took Sundays off. No electronics. Yeah,
- 5:24Speaker 3: it was just family and to rejuvenate your soul.
