00:00So, Melania Trump, she put out a beautiful post reminding us of what is lost here.

00:07This was on X.

00:08She said, Charlie's children will be raised with stories instead of memories, photographs

00:13instead of laughter, and silence where their father's voice should have echoed.

00:19Charlie Kirk's life should serve as a symbolic reminder that compassionate awareness elevates

00:25family, love, and country.

00:27And you know, if you don't mind me just saying this, Lawrence, she also had, after the Butler

00:33assassination attempt, she wasn't talking about a president, he was talking about he's

00:39a father and a husband.

00:40So, we almost lost a father.

00:43Like, she humanizes it with the family and not with titles.

00:48Because he was a human being.

00:50And I think that's what the First Lady, I think we look at these politicians and you put them

00:54on a pedestal and these people, first of all, he wasn't even a person.

00:57He wasn't a politician.

00:58He was a dad trying to mobilize young people.

01:03And when you put it that way, these people have feelings.

01:05They have families.

01:06And you just robbed a young dad of those memories with his children.

01:12The Vice President of the United States, who was very close to Charlie Kirk, had this to

01:16say on X.

01:17When I became the VP nominee, something Charlie advocated for both in public and private,

01:23Charlie was there for me.

01:24I was so glad to be a part of the president's team.

01:27But candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family.

01:33Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence

01:37of protective detail.

01:38I felt this acute sense of guilt that I had conscripted my kids into this life without

01:46getting their permission.

01:48And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance

01:53and prayer.

01:55Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by Turning Point USA.

02:00He wasn't just a thinker.

02:02He was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists.

02:08And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me and

02:13ask me what he could do.

02:16You focus on Wisconsin, he'll tell me.

02:18Arizona is in the bag.

02:21And it was.

02:22I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started, lighting up people telling

02:28Charlie that they were praying for him.

02:30And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot.

02:35I prayed a lot over the next hours as first good news and then bad trickled in.

02:41God didn't answer those prayers.

02:42And that's OK.

02:44He had other plans.

02:45And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to the big man directly on the

02:49behalf of his family, his friends in the country he loved so dearly.

02:54You ran a good race, my friend.

02:56We got it from here.

02:57It reminds you of that scripture.

03:00When you come to the end of your life, you want God to say, you ran a great race.

03:03You ran the race.

03:04You ran it valiantly.

03:06And Charlie did.

03:07Charlie, what an impact at 31 years old.

03:09Where were you at 31 years old?

03:11You know, we didn't have an impact like Charlie did.

03:13God had his hand on his life.

03:15And now we know where he is.

03:16He's in heaven.

03:17His faith meant the world to him.

03:18And he was co-hosting Fox and Friends on the weekend of, what, a month and a half ago.

03:24So keep in mind, Pete Hegseth went on to work for the administration.

03:28And then Will Cain, 4 o'clock, was moved to the 4 o'clock show.

03:31So we had two open spots on the weekend show.

03:34And Charlie Hurt took one of those spots with Rachel Campos Duffy.

03:38And Charlie Kirk was filling in with Charlie Hurt.

03:42So they had this quiz, the Charlie versus Charlie quiz.

03:45Watch this.

03:46Which Charlie skipped class to do a news interview?

03:50Okay, that's definitely got to be Charlie Kirk.

03:52Oh!

03:54I mean, Charlie Hurt.

03:55Yes!

03:56No?

03:56Nice!

03:57It was you, Charlie.

03:58My first ever TV appearance, I skipped class to go on Fox and Friends.

04:02Really?

04:03Yep.

04:04So it all has come full circle.

04:05It's full circle.

04:06From guest to guest host.

04:08It was back when I was a senior in high school.

04:10It was all about launching the Students Against Cookie Inflation.

04:14You know, we were all about...

04:15Was it really about the cookie?

04:15It was about, like, three or four different topics.

04:18People can go back to the archives and get it.

04:20How have they found you?

04:21Oh, we reached out.

04:23We were relentless.

04:24I was like, hey...

04:24You were shilling yourself?

04:26Oh, 100%.

04:27Hey, you've got to have hustle.

04:28You've got to have grind.

04:29You've got to...

04:30You know what I'm seeing?

04:31You know why I'm getting all of these wrong?

04:33Because you two actually have so much in common.

04:35I don't know.

04:36I don't know.

04:37I don't know.

04:38I don't know.
