• 0:00
  Charlie Kirk passed away yesterday. He was assassinated at the events that he
• 0:06
  often and normally puts on.
• 0:08
  He had his tour again that he was going to go around college campuses,
• 0:12
  and this horrific, tragic event happened. I'm just going to go back through how I received it.
• 0:19
  I know everybody is processing it, and everybody's processing it differently.
• 0:23
  When I first heard about it i saw on x i saw a message from nick fuentes and
• 0:29
  i saw him say pray for charlie kirk and if you know anything about their whole
• 0:34
  the whole nick fuentes and charlie kirk thing,
• 0:37
  that i was just like why is he saying this why is nick fuentes posting this
• 0:43
  and and how to look into it and then found out later that he was shot and like
• 0:48
  there is different people like i don't know what it is.
• 0:51
  Sometimes certain people's deaths affect you differently.
• 0:56
  And Charlie Kirk is someone like I admire and I looked up to so much.
• 1:00
  I loved everything he stood for. He was a Christian most of all.
• 1:05
  And seeing, like, I don't know, like, I was pretty much in tears throughout
• 1:10
  the day yesterday, going to bed last night, even waking up.
• 1:13
  The very first thought was Charlie this morning.
• 1:16
  Everybody i mean everybody's going
• 1:19
  through it differently and now so much stuff
• 1:22
  is going on that trying to figure out what all happened
• 1:25
  and now the who they took into custody sounds like he was released maybe did
• 1:31
  not fit who it actually was so now there's going to be so much more looking
• 1:34
  into of what actually just happened and i i i don't even know really what to
• 1:40
  say and i know most people that have talked about this have asked about this.
• 1:44
  The people that are posting just sick, detestable things, there are bots being
• 1:49
  just orchestrated to talk about this and put this out there and probably to
• 1:54
  create war or a sense of civil war and unrest within our country.
• 1:58
  But then there are just despicable, detestable human beings that are actually
• 2:03
  doing it as well. And it's disgusting.
• 2:06
  And seeing what people are posting on TikTok and actual people,
• 2:10
  videos of themselves or people being asked and cheering this on is just disgusting.
• 2:15
  I don't care if you are on the side that you would be happy about someone like Charlie Kirk's death.
• 2:23
  I just, I pray for you. And that's all I could say. And I put this out there
• 2:27
  yesterday on X that just seeing all the vitriol that people are saying and the
• 2:31
  evil things that people are saying about him.
• 2:33
  All I can say is pray for your enemies. And Charlie would have said the exact same thing.
• 2:39
  Pray for your enemies. And that comes directly from our Lord, who he is with right now.
• 2:44
  He is with it. So I don't feel sorry for Charlie because he's experiencing bliss
• 2:50
  and things that we could not even fathom or comprehend at this time.
• 2:54
  Him being in our Lord's presence and at home with the Lord, it's saddest and
• 3:00
  it's hardest for his family, his wife, his children.
• 3:04
  And I know everybody has been affected by this differently.
• 3:08
  Just thinking about him and just remembering him and who he was and nobody's
• 3:13
  perfect nobody is perfect and we understand that and even though he got headlines
• 3:18
  and he got a rise out of people on things I'm challenging them and it was never about like,
• 3:23
  Every time he was at a college campus, he would put down his mic.
• 3:28
  He wouldn't say anything.
• 3:29
  He would let anybody say whatever they wanted and ask him questions and confront
• 3:34
  him and them get all like views or whatever and try to try to get headlines,
• 3:39
  try to get clips or whatever.
• 3:41
  And he didn't care. He say what you want.
• 3:44
  And he was that he was open for his whole thing was open dialogue,
• 3:49
  talking things out because ideas and words and what you say matter so much more
• 3:54
  than bullets and fists and fighting and all and just physical.
• 4:01
  It's just it's it's it's an extremely sad day to even think about this.
• 4:05
  And I know everybody's going to come at it different.
• 4:08
  Everybody's receiving it different. But this is somebody like I not everybody
• 4:11
  impacts me. And I know not everybody impacts everyone out there like Charlie Kirk has.
• 4:16
  I don't really necessarily know what to say. There's so much we could talk about
• 4:20
  about his life and I wouldn't do it justice.
• 4:23
  What he accomplished in his short 31 years of age is like not even comparable
• 4:29
  to most people in America,
• 4:31
  you know, and, but it's a sign of the times what happened to,
• 4:36
  and I don't, I don't even really want to go down any rabbit trails or rabbit
• 4:39
  holes right now because there's so much more that's going to be unearthed and
• 4:43
  come out. And there's so much more coming down the pipe.
• 4:47
  That I think everybody should be ready for. Like anyone said, I love you, Charlie.
• 4:54
  We miss you, and we pray for your wife. We pray for your children,
• 5:00
  your family, and everyone that I'm sure is mourning, and the people that aren't
• 5:04
  mourning right now, the people that are happy, we pray for you as well.
• 5:08
  So I had to talk about him, and I know everybody's struggling through this.
• 5:14
  Everybody's still processing it. It doesn't seem real. It doesn't seem real.
• 5:18
  And it just goes to show that you don't know what day you're walking into.
• 5:22
  It doesn't matter if you're the most high-profile figure out there.
• 5:24
  We will one day stand before the Lord. Everybody will.
• 5:28
  We will. Everybody will. Everybody hearing this and everybody in this world
• 5:32
  will stand before the Lord.
• 5:34
  And I just, to take a moment to reflect, all of my actions matter.
• 5:39
  Everything that I do matters of eternal weight and significance. It really does.
• 5:45
  So the biggest thing I would encourage is people that are hurting from this.
• 5:50
  Don't react harshly and don't let hate fill the void of Charlie's loss,
• 5:59
  but rather turn the other cheek and pray for your enemies.
• 6:04
  Love those who there. I love even the most vile, despicable,
• 6:08
  inhumane things that people do and say about this because it's all about Jesus.
• 6:14
  And that's what Charlie, he posted and I reposted it.
• 6:17
  It's all about Jesus. So I don't know. I don't really like to say that we're
• 6:21
  going to, there's so much more we could, that we will go into.
• 6:24
  And, but I just had my reaction and just the gut-wrenching nature of what just
• 6:29
  happened. We experienced.
• 6:30
  All right, we'll leave it at that. We love you, Charlie.
