  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk stories, we've seen a lot of Erica Kirk
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: coming out into the public really for the first time
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: after his assassination. But I think you also get a
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: glimpse of what it's like for them as a couple.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: So what is it that you guys think is so
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: special about what's so special about their relationship?
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: You know one thing that stood out to me, there's
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: like a real that came out whereas Charlie Kirk and
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: he's got his toddler sitting on a table in a
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: restaurant with him, and he's telling his toddler, how has
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: he and his mom met their love story? You know,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: this is where I met your mom and I told
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: her I have plenty of friends. I want to date you.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: It's just the cutest thing. And then he says and
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: then you came along and so to me. I then asked,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I was talking to my family, and I was like,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: do you know how Like, we have no idea how
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Mike's parents met. Oh, we're talking to my niece's boyfriend.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I said, how did your parents meet? Has no idea
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: how his parents met. And one thing I thought was
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: telling a love story. Telling your children your love story
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: is crucial. It's important to share stories with your kids.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Our parents did. We knew their whole love story. We
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: knew every friend they had in high school. We knew
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: that they parked on the on the uncool side of
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Dairy Queen while the cool kids were on the other side,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: because the cool kids would come over to the uncooles.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Like all these stories kind of shaped the way we
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: wanted to be.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Wow. You know, if you think about it, this is
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: before any kind of you know, social media or even phones.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: You know, we didn't have laptops to give the kids
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: in the back of the car while we're traveling. It
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: was that time usually when we were on a road trip. Yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: and we would make them retell their story. You know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: there's nothing else to keep us occupied.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: But their story true.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: And that was a beautiful time, because we not only
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: like Kimberly just said, not only did we know their
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: love story about heart, but we also knew all of
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: the people they were friends with, and they had their yearbooks.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: They went to Woodlawn and Streetport and so we knew
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: their stories too. So living in Streetport, I've gotten to
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: know some of these people and they are amazed at
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: what I know about them from their high school days
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: because our parents talked about that.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: You know what this It just reminded me. Our parents
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: had a Sunday school party. You know, they had a
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: large First Methodist church, the Questers, and one of the
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: parties they had everybody bring their wedding album to the party.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: And so all of these couples brought.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Their wedding album.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: So they're all sharing their love story at this party,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: and I.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Thought, what a yeah, so good.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I feel like Charlie and Erica are basically showing young
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: couples today, even older couples, how to live your life,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: how to include your family, how to talk about things
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: even when they's too young to think that they would
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: care about your love story. That little girl forever has
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: that video footage of her dad sharing her mother's and
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: father's love story.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Not only that, but I don't know if you've seen
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: this on the reels, there's a video that she put out.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: And every day she would say, what is your word
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: for the people today?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: What are your words of wisdom?
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: And he would say, and I actually wrote them down
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: because I was so impressed. But he would say, he'd
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: look up and he go, power shows the man. You
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: want to find out a lot about somebody, give them
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: a bunch of power.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Power shows the man wow.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: And it would you know, click to the next day,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: or you know, he'd be walking down the street. She'd say, Charlie,
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: what's your words of wisdom for today? And he'd say,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: wise man loves to be corrected. Anyone who wants to
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: replace error with truth is wise.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: And that's biblical. That's one of the other guess about that.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: He was so he was such a philosopher. He loved
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: he was he was a student of philosophers. He loved Socrates, Plato,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: all the big guys. And you could hear this come
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: out and he would say things like to taste.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Your words before you spit them out, you know, just
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: little things like that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: And I thought, what, that's another thing that her their
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: children have are these little nuggets that she meant for
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: the world, but now they can really take them in
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: and you know, swallow them.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I do. I do like that.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And you get the feeling that Erica's I mean, obviously
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: we don't know her, but you get the feeling that
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: she's gonna want one of her priorities, So she's gonna
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: want her kids to know who their dad is.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Well, they will, they will.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: I you know, in that moment when he's telling the
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: love story and at the end he's talking to Gigi
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: and he says, and that's where your story begins, because
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: we all have that, you know. And I just think
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: that these children I kind of think about remember Steve
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Irwin the crocodile or whatever. I think about those kids
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: and how they've represented their father so well in life,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: because they've had thousands upon thousands of people tell them
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: how their father influenced them. And I feel like the
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: same thing will happen.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: For these babies. Sorry, So I feel like that there's going.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: To be just you know, they're going to grow up
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: in a world that everyone revers their father, and I
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: just have a feeling they're going to live.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Up to that It's going to be very very interesting
• 5:30
