00:00And what you've just explained to me is Charlie Kirk wasn't just influential in the U.S.
00:07He was influential globally and especially for many young people.
00:12We do have to remember that he brought his politics and his debate to the world and he wanted the freedom of speech.
00:20So to many people, he was an absolute icon.
00:24But you did mention that there.
00:26He was also divisive.
00:28He was a divisive figure.
00:30And why was he so divisive?
00:34No, let me correct you on that.
00:36I said he is not divisive and his ideas are not divisive.
00:40It's the other side and the mainstream media that tries to say he's the divisive one when it's their ideas and the left's ideas that are attempting to divide this country.
00:50And even this assassination is the furthest attempt you can go as a human being to try to divide this country and create anarchy, chaos and violence.
01:00Charlie Kirk is the one that's sane in the middle, inviting debate, inviting his opposing views to be persuaded in a civil, respectful debate.
01:13You never saw him get angry with somebody that opposed him.
01:16You always saw him be respectful and civil.
01:19And he did it not only I'm glad you mentioned around the world.
01:22He's been to the Oxford Union.
01:24His last trip was in South Korea because South Korea is under attack by the left.
01:29And they're trying to take over that society there, too.
01:33And he is an internationally known great American figure that leads with his Christian faith and the ideas of America that fight tyranny.
01:44And that tyranny is what the other side wants to use.
01:48And just like you tried to do just now to say he's the divisive one.
01:52No, they are the divisive ones.
01:54And we we are going to continue his mission and we're going to win because the American idea of freedom, of prosperity, freedom of speech.
02:06Is the opposition to what the other side is pushing is tyranny, oppression and violence.
02:14It's not for us.
02:16I can't defend the same for us and we've actually walked in with the other side.
02:34We want to defend your responsibility.
02:35I don't think youırANO MANOR very well.
02:38And that is mid-'ve been around the world, start talking about freedom.
