00:00:00Tyler actually threatened suicide, saying he'd rather kill himself, which led the dad to call
00:00:05up his minister, who happened to be a U.S. Marshal. Robinson later surrendered and was
00:00:10booked into jail. The jail, 250 miles from the crime scene. That's right. The guy made it all
00:00:17the way home. So how do you do it? New video shows Robinson leaving his sniper's nest and
00:00:22jumping off the roof. After that, he dumped his gun in the woods and hopped in a gray Dodge
00:00:28Challenger and drove four hours home. The governor of Utah, Spencer Cox, says the family did the right
00:00:35thing by turning their son in. Robinson's believed to have acted alone, but he left a hefty trail of
00:00:41evidence. Investigators found messages that he sent to his roommate. These photos consisted of various
00:00:48messages stating a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush, messages
00:00:56related to a, to visually watching the area where a rifle was left and a message referring to having
00:01:04left the rifle wrapped in a towel. We now know more about the engravings on the shell casings. Listen.
00:01:13Inscriptions on a fired casing read notices bulges capital O-W-O. What's this question mark?
00:01:22Inscriptions on the three unfired casings read? Hey, fascist exclamation point, catch exclamation
00:01:29point, up arrow symbol, right arrow and a symbol and three down arrow symbols. A second unfired casing
00:01:38read? Oh, Bella, ciao, Bella, ciao, Bella, ciao, ciao. And a third unfired casing read? If you read this,
00:01:46you are gay, L-M-A-O. Bella, ciao is an anti-Nazi song from Italy. Three down arrows is an anti-fascist
00:01:55symbol that's now associated with Antifa. And it's also a video game code for calling in a big bomb.
00:02:02Hey, fascist catch while he's calling Charlie a fascist and telling him to catch a bullet.
00:02:06And the bulges, O-W-O, is sexual role-playing slang used by furry fanatics. So who is this guy,
00:02:15this Robinson guy? He comes from a normal household, raised Mormon, parents are Republican.
00:02:21His father's in construction and they live in a six bedroom home in Utah. He grew up hunting,
00:02:26which explains why he was a good shot. And academically, he was a straight A student who
00:02:31got a college scholarship. But he dropped out of college after one semester, went back to live at
00:02:37home and enrolled in a trade school, looking to become an electrician. A family member said he
00:02:42wasn't political until recently when something snapped. The family member referenced a recent
00:02:50incident in which Robinson came to dinner prior to September 10th. And in the conversation with
00:02:56another family member, Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU. They talked about why they
00:03:02didn't like him and the viewpoints that he had. The family member also stated Kirk was full of hate
00:03:08and spreading hate. One of Robinson's friends spoke to the Guardian and said he was really leftist,
00:03:15pretty left on everything, quote unquote. They said he became an extremist, started ranting and raving.
00:03:20Robinson apparently spent too much time online. His shell casings had Internet slang and he dressed
00:03:27up as memes for Halloween. Robinson spent hours and hours alone staring at a screen.
00:03:35A Christian kid in a conservative household raised by a loving mom and dad in Utah,
00:03:39not surrounded by radical leftists, but gets radicalized into fighting fascists online.
00:03:47Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? Yes, I do.
00:03:49Fascism isn't just coming, it's already here.
00:03:52This is what kicking the **** out of fascism looks like.
00:03:57Donald Trump is a fascist.
00:03:59Trump is a fascist dictator.
00:04:00As a fascist dictator.
00:04:02Fascist chaos.
00:04:03Fascist regime.
00:04:04Look, are they a threat to democracy? Yes. Are they going to take our rights away? Yes.
00:04:07Are they going to put people's lives in danger? Yes. Are they going to endanger the planet by not
00:04:11dealing with climate change? Yes.
00:04:12So how did America confront fascism in World War II?
00:04:15No. We went to war. And today, Democrat senators have declared war again.
00:04:22We're in a war right now to save this country. And so you have to be willing to do whatever is
00:04:27necessary in order to save the country.
00:04:29Whatever is necessary to save the country? That's a call to arms. The left is losing the battle of ideas.
00:04:37Violence is a last resort. They're trying to silence us.
00:04:40So they can't lose the argument. They tried to cancel us, censure us. And at the extreme level,
00:04:48they've tried to kill us. They killed Charlie, shot Trump, shot Scalise. They almost shot Kavanaugh,
00:04:57assassinated a health care CEO, cracked Rand Paul's ribs and firebombed Teslas and are attacking
00:05:04ICE facilities. And now they're trying to wash the blood off their hands.
00:05:08Me disagreeing with you, me calling you, you know, I want to be Hitler. All those things are
00:05:14like not necessarily saying go out and hurt somebody.
00:05:19They called Trump Hitler and then Ryan Ruth says Trump's Hitler and tries to shoot him.
00:05:24They don't see a connection. They call Charlie fascist and then someone shoots Charlie with an
00:05:29anti-fascist bullet. They know exactly what they're doing. They're giving the crazy wing of their party
00:05:35permission to take a shot. They're brainwashing an online army. The message is these men are
00:05:42dangerous fascists. Be a hero. Take them out. They can't win at the ballot box. So they're using
00:05:48bullets. Charlie said it just a few months ago. Assassination culture is spreading on the left.
00:05:56Fifty five percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to kill Trump.
00:06:01Colbert's audience was just cheering about Trump dying. Tim Waltz said he was secretly hoping that
00:06:07he woke up to the news of the president's passing. They're on a war footing. Charlie was killed in
00:06:13cold blood and a sick faction of the left are reveling in it. Do you support his death?
00:06:20I do. You support his death? Charlie Kirk. You support Charlie Kirk being killed? Yes,
00:06:25I do. On the day he died, you're here at a vigil for Charlie Kirk and you support his death.
00:06:30Do you support a Nazi? No, I don't support a Nazi. Charlie Kirk wasn't a Nazi. You support his
00:06:34shooter? Yep, sure I do. You support Charlie Kirk's shooter? Sure I do. He does all the favor.
00:06:40Would you shoot somebody like Charlie Kirk? I would have killed him myself.
00:06:42We need to politically destroy that culture. That whole movement should be crushed the way Charlie
00:06:50would want it to be on election day, in the marketplace, in the media, at universities,
00:06:55wherever it shows its ugly face. This anti-fascist political strain must be defeated.
00:07:03The militaristic mindset eradicated and anyone profiting off of any of that in the public square
00:07:09should be expelled from polite society. You cannot accuse someone of hate speech to justify murder.
00:07:17Hate speech is just speech that liberals disagree with. America should be like the five and agree to
00:07:23disagree. Violent attacks on free speech are attacks on the founding of America. And this vile movement
00:07:31is treasonous. Celebrating political assassinations should get you ostracized. Dowd was fired from
00:07:38MSNBC for saying Charlie deserved to die. And so were dozens of Americans just in the last 48 hours
00:07:44who worked at schools and in government, even in the NFL. This isn't cancel culture. This is society
00:07:53healing and getting rid of a cancer. And we love every American and forgive people who've lost their way,
00:08:01but we're not going to give them any quarter, not an inch. Charlie died for the First Amendment.
00:08:07He died on the battlefield of ideas, just like the colonists in the Revolutionary War.
00:08:13And if we don't defend free speech, America's defenseless and dies. We can win this battle
00:08:20without shedding any more blood. A great example of how to handle this, look at Utah.
00:08:26I want you to look at how Utah's reacted the last two nights. There was no rioting. There's no looting.
00:08:39There were no cars set on fire. There's no violence. There were vigils and prayers and people coming
00:08:50together to share the humanity. And that, ladies and gentlemen, I believe is the answer to this.
00:08:58Could you imagine if a MAGA sniper shot Biden in the head or shot a congressman at a baseball game or
00:09:04assaulted a famous liberal media personality? There'd be martial law. We'd have our rights stripped,
00:09:11our guns seized. Cities would burn and America first would be behind bars. But you don't respond
00:09:18to an attack on freedom by taking freedom away. All of us, all of us should speak our minds louder
00:09:25without fear. What do you say to people who are saying they see the assassination attempts in your
00:09:31life? They see the Minnesota lawmakers. They see what happened. They see what happened to Charlie.
00:09:36I say you have to go forward. You just have to go forward. Conservatives can't be afraid to go on a
00:09:42college campus and exercise their First Amendment right. They just can't. We can't be afraid to say
00:09:46men and women are different, that we believe in sovereign borders, that fighting racist and fighting
00:09:52crime isn't racist. And we have to go where Charlie went everywhere and talk to everyone, no matter where
00:10:01they're from and what they look like and what they believe. We have to force them to listen to us and
00:10:08we have to confront them with facts and logic and science and reason and do it in a way that's not
00:10:13mean spirited. You know, remember how Charlie rolled? He sat back in his chair and he smiled and he listened
00:10:20and debated like a real American. And he did it in person, surrounded by flesh and bone, not staring down
00:10:29the rabbit hole of the internet alone. That's where hatred brews. Social media is a cancer
00:10:36on our society right now. And I would encourage, again, I would encourage people to log off, turn
00:10:41off, touch grass, hug a family member, go out and do good in your community. If this is a turning point
00:10:46for us, we get to make decisions. We have our agency. And I desperately call on every American,
00:10:57Republican, Democrat, liberal, progressive, conservative, MAGA, all of us to please, please,
00:11:05please follow what Charlie taught me. This country needs a spiritual awakening. We need to go outside,
00:11:14hug each other, touch each other, talk to one another, and find our faith like Charlie did,
00:11:20get married, have families, and live honest and decent lives with purpose. This spiritual
00:11:27reawakening will be a turning point. Charlie was the turning point. You can feel it. You can see it
00:11:34happening. Prove me wrong. Host of Tim Kass, Tim Poole joins me now. Tim, we're awaiting Erica Kirk's
00:11:44remarks, which should be incredibly emotional and extremely powerful. In the meantime, tell us what
00:11:52you know about this shooter. Well, I know much of what you have reported, what everyone's reporting,
00:11:59the statements that were made to the Guardian that he was a leftist. Someone has posted a video
00:12:04claiming to have gone to school with him and they called him your typical Redditor. And anybody who's
00:12:08familiar with the social platform Reddit knows it is dominated by liberal left ideology. But what's
00:12:15interesting now is there is this gaslighting campaign among prominent liberals to claim that
00:12:20this guy's actually a right winger, that he's from a Christian conservative family who loved guns.
00:12:26And in fact, he attacked Charlie for not being conservative enough. And they've tried making
00:12:31similar claims pertaining to the man who tried to kill Donald Trump crooks in Pennsylvania. But it is
00:12:39absolutely absurd. I've been dealing with this since the beginning of my career. I have dealt with
00:12:44physical assault attacks from the left, from violent extreme leftists. We call them the black block.
00:12:50Back during Occupy Wall Street. This was covered extensively when I was actually championed by
00:12:55the left for documenting Occupy Wall Street. And I was physically attacked by leftists. Even to this
00:13:01day, the death threats that we receive, the security that I have to have every day is, is, it's
00:13:08tremendous. And I don't see the same thing among my liberal counterparts. They don't require the same
00:13:13degree of security. So it's, it's, it's a gaslighting campaign in my opinion, because in order to
00:13:18maintain the lie, the right is more violent, they do several things. They try to gaslight us in
00:13:23situations like this, that a conservative would shoot Charlie Kirk. He was the greatest tool in
00:13:29the arsenal of conservative values. And they go online, they use these NGOs, these nonprofits
00:13:34to claim that a run of the mill, moderate conservative is the same thing as a white supremacist
00:13:41who wants to overthrow the government. They're so far removed from each other. That's the game they're
00:13:45playing now because they don't want to take responsibility for the rhetoric, the rhetoric
00:13:49they say every day when they accuse us of being Nazis or fascists or far right. They say this so
00:13:54that as you've already pointed out, when the violence happens, no one likes a Nazi, right? But let me add
00:14:00this. I think the reality now that I've unfortunately had to deal with that we are all seeing is that this
00:14:05man who shot Charlie was much closer to mainstream Democrat than any of us wanted to believe. I, I woke up
00:14:12to posts on Instagram from people that I thought were my friends that I have known for, for years
00:14:17and mind you, they're liberal, but I always considered them to be moderate liberals, not
00:14:21particularly active. And they're posting messages saying Charlie deserved it. He got the world he
00:14:26wanted and they know who I am and they know that he was my friend. And I don't understand how these
00:14:32relationships can be repaired. Even, uh, friends of mine who are not political, who, who are, you know,
00:14:38telling me I'm, I'm sorry, you know, this happened are telling they're saying on their Facebooks,
00:14:43there are people posting, celebrating this that they didn't even realize were political. And I
00:14:47don't know how we recover from that. So how did that culture begin? You're familiar with the
00:14:54internet. You're familiar with Antifa. You understand the militancy that you see and you encounter when
00:14:59you go into these precincts, this kid raised with good parents. It seems like lives a normal life
00:15:06in Utah. How did he snap like that? It's really hard to know, but I've talked about it quite a bit
00:15:15in my research. Uh, I'll put it, I'll try and keep it as succinct as I can. The algorithms of social
00:15:21media starting in the late two thousands in LexisNexis data, you can see the words like racism,
00:15:26white supremacy, fascism skyrocket in their usage in mainstream newspapers and online publications.
00:15:33This was likely due to the big tech platforms, prioritizing algorithmic feeds. That is,
00:15:40they were going to show you content that got more engagement. And to the average person,
00:15:44a story of injustice and racism generated anger. Anger is the most likely to generate some content
00:15:51to be shared. It's the most likely to make someone share content. And so what we instantly saw were
00:15:55websites that were posting articles, say about politics, realize if they write about police brutality,
00:16:02racism, or some kind of social injustice, they will get substantially more clicks, shares,
00:16:08and in turn money. There was a really good example. It was reported Mike.com for instance,
00:16:13originally started as a Ron Paul libertarian website, but as they began posting police brutality
00:16:18videos and made more money off it, the narrative shifted towards left aligned ideology. Now,
00:16:24what do you think happens to a young man who is 13 years old on Facebook or on one of these other
00:16:29platforms and the algorithm is showing them nothing but social injustice, leftist ideology,
00:16:35and they may be normal. They may be in a Christian conservative family, but every day they open their
00:16:40apps, whatever platform they be, they be using, they see nothing over and over again, racism,
00:16:47white supremacy, racism over and over. And they see these messages from Democrats saying,
00:16:51we can't tolerate this. We let, we can't let them win. Eventually their whole world,
00:16:56they live in a paranoid delusional state where they would accuse Charlie of being racist,
00:17:01of advocating for slavery exemplified. In fact, by Stephen King posting that Charlie Kirk had
00:17:07advocated the stoning of gays, which he never did. And Stephen King was forced to apologize for,
00:17:13you know, ideas that they spread through lies and fake news are crazy. You know why? Cause the guy
00:17:17lives alone in a cabin in the woods in Maine and just stares at a screen all day. I mean,
00:17:21he's like the perfect example of someone getting spun up by these demonic forces online. That's,
00:17:28that's very interesting analysis. Thank you so much. This is even a more challenging issue than
00:17:34I even understood. We appreciate it, Tim. Thanks for having me. I appreciate it.
00:17:39Public news founder, Michael Schellenberger is here. So the country has mourned. We're continuing
00:17:46to mourn, but there's still an, an anger about, uh, how this could happen to someone like Charlie,
00:17:53not a politician, not an offensive individual. What should be the reaction, uh, to violence and
00:18:02the atmosphere like this? Hey, Jesse, it's great to be with you. Look, I think there's a lot of things
00:18:10that need to happen right now. I mean, first and foremost is that we as a society need to call on
00:18:15those Democrat leaders who you highlighted earlier that have been D who have been dehumanizing,
00:18:22dehumanizing, degrading conservatives, Republicans, the MAGA movement, Donald Trump in particular,
00:18:29dehumanization is what precedes atrocities. And we've known that historically for a very long time.
00:18:36And that's what we saw happen. They need to renounce what they were saying about fascism,
00:18:41about Nazism. They need to take accountability that there are consequences for what they're,
00:18:47what they were doing. And it was to program an entire generation into an utterly absurd fantasy
00:18:55that the United States was being taken over by fascism. I mean, you saw it on the bullet casings
00:19:00of the alleged assassin himself. I think the second thing is that we need a de-radicalization program,
00:19:07of colleges, of universities, of the schools. And what we know from past de-radicalization efforts
00:19:15around the world is that it's essential for people who have been radicalized to have a new identity
00:19:22that comes from a new purpose in life and part of a new community. And they also need, as part of that
00:19:29purpose, they need a new, they need to come back to a story that is true about America, about why this
00:19:35country is special, why it's different from so many other oppressive societies in the past,
00:19:42the freest society that's ever existed. We need to aggressively push back against that.
00:19:47The universities need to do that. The colleges need to do that. There needs to be, and if the
00:19:52Democrats aren't going to do this, Jesse, then they need to be called out for it. Because,
00:19:56you know, look, this shooter, this alleged shooter, he's downstream from, you know, decade,
00:20:01at least a decade or more of that dehumanization. It's a terrible tragedy. Obviously, you should be
00:20:07held accountable. But he was a result of those years of dehumanizing Republicans and conservatives.
00:20:14What do you believe was the intention with this dehumanization disinformation campaign? Was it to
00:20:20fuel the emotion of a large block of voters to get out and to turn out? Or was it actually to
00:20:30kind of brainwash them into feeling that violence is acceptable?
00:20:38Yeah, I mean, Jesse, when you look at the history of it, of course, you know, a big part of it
00:20:41is that the Democrats don't have an agenda. They don't have a positive agenda. The last big thing
00:20:47that they did was a big climate thing under Biden. There was health care before with Obama. They didn't
00:20:54have anything else. I mean, police violence has been going down, contrary to what the left had said.
00:21:00On so many other issues, the big issues that Democrats said they cared about, the issues that
00:21:04I grew up on the left with in the 1990s, those issues are gone now. So they had nothing left.
00:21:10They had rhetoric. They had a political strategy to convince people that nationalism of the MAGA
00:21:17variety was somehow the same as fascism and Nazism. It really starts as sort of a rhetorical
00:21:24flourish that then became a program. But I think underneath all of that, Jesse remains that there
00:21:31is a this is like ultimately what the left has become as a death cult. You see it on the climate
00:21:36discourse, on trans, on the conversation around race, around class, around the United States of
00:21:42America. It's anti-American. It's anti-civilization. The left has been looking for the fences of civilization,
00:21:50the foundations of civilization, and has been attacking them one by one. Meritocracy, law and
00:21:56order, all the way down to the basic fundamental building blocks of life, which is men and women
00:22:02and families. So the Democrats, they became a radicalized party. It's a radicalized left.
00:22:09Everybody knows the history. It comes right out of the universities and colleges. Those students graduate.
00:22:14They go into the media. As Tim Pool was just saying, you could see it in the news coverage starting
00:22:20around 2012. This increase of radical left language like white supremacy, this accusations of racism,
00:22:28all of those increase fed by social media. But again, with an underlying anti-American, anti-civilization
00:22:35ideology that itself promotes violence, that itself promotes revolution, that since the 1960s,
00:22:41there's been this idea on the left of so-called repressive tolerance that you need to shut down
00:22:47speakers. You mentioned before the 55 percent of the people on the left that justify the murder of
00:22:51Donald Trump. The share of college students who say violence is sometimes acceptable to shut down
00:22:57a speaker on campus rose from under 20 percent in 2020 to 34 percent this year. That poll came out just
00:23:05one day before the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
00:23:08I mean, the hostility on some of these campuses, it's like you've never seen anything like that in
00:23:13this country ever, ever. And we're looking right now at a podium which Erica Kirk is about to step up
00:23:22to. It's right next to Charlie Kirk's chair where he did his podcast from and was one of the most
00:23:28popular podcasts in the country. Just absolutely took off like a rocket ship and became famous with young
00:23:37people, with old people, everyone. And we're just awaiting Erica to come on and share with the
00:23:44country how she's feeling after losing her husband and the father of her two children. Here she is right
00:23:52now.
00:23:59Good evening. My name is Erica Kirk. Charlie Kirk is my husband. I first want to thank the local, state,
00:24:09and federal law enforcement who worked tirelessly to capture my husband's assassin so that he can be
00:24:16brought to justice. I want to thank the first responders who struggled heroically to save Charles' life.
00:24:30And the police who acted bravely to make sure that there were no other victims on that terrible
00:24:35afternoon.
00:24:36I want to thank the officers who have protected our Turning Point USA family these past two days.
00:24:45And I want to thank the Turning Point USA board, the COO, Justin Strife, and my husband's chief of
00:24:54staff, the amazing Mikey McCoy, for all their work in these terrible days to be the stability for our
00:25:04family and for the wider Turning Point USA family as well. My heart is with every one of my husband's
00:25:12employees who lost a friend and a mentor. I want to thank the staffers of this, his amazing Charlie
00:25:22Kirk Show, who helped him broadcast from the studio, this chair. Every day he loved it. He loved what he did.
00:25:39I want to thank the millions of people who have shown their love for Charlie here in Phoenix,
00:25:44across America and worldwide. I want to thank my husband's dear friend, Vice President Vance and his
00:25:56phenomenal wife, Usha, for their love and support. You guys honored my husband so well bringing him
00:26:07home. You both are tremendous. I want to thank President Trump and his incredible family for the
00:26:17same. Mr. President, my husband loved you. And he knew that you loved him too. He did. Your friendship
00:26:36was amazing. You supported him so well, as did he for you. Two days ago, my husband, Charlie, went to see
00:26:49the face of his Savior and his God. Charlie always said that when he was gone, he wanted to be remembered
00:27:00for his courage and for his faith. And one of the final conversations that he had on this earth, my husband
00:27:10witnessed for his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Now and for all eternity, he will stand at his Savior's side,
00:27:24wearing the glorious crown of a martyr. Charlie loved life. He loved his life. He loved America. He loved nature,
00:27:41which helped him always bring him closer to God. He loved the Chicago Cubs. And my goodness, did he love the Oregon
00:27:52Ducks? Want me to say, go Ducks? So I have to since they play on Saturday. So go Ducks. But most of all,
00:28:04Charlie loved his children. And he loved me with all of his heart. And I knew that. Every day, I knew that.
00:28:16He made sure I knew that every day. Every day, he would ask me, how can I serve you better?
00:28:22How can I be a better husband? How can I be a better father? Every day. Every day, he was such a good man.
00:28:29He still is a good man. He was the perfect father.
00:28:35He was the perfect husband.
00:28:39Charlie always believed that God's design for marriage and the family was absolutely amazing. And it is.
00:28:44It is. And it was the greatest joy of his life.
00:28:50And over and over, he would tell
00:28:53all these young people to come and find their future spouse, become wives and husbands and parents.
00:29:02And the reason why is because he wanted you all to experience what he had and still has.
00:29:08He wanted everyone to bring heaven into this earth through love and joy that comes from raising a
00:29:16family. It's beautiful.
00:29:21Charlie always said that if he ever ran for office, I know a lot of you asked if he ever was going to,
00:29:26but privately, he told me if he ever did run for office, that his top priority would be
00:29:33to revive the American family. That was his priority.
00:29:41One of Charlie's favorite Bible verses was Ephesians 5, verse 25.
00:29:50Husbands,
00:29:51love your wives
00:29:54as Christ loved the church
00:29:59and gave himself up for her.
00:30:03My husband laid down his life for me,
00:30:08for our nation,
00:30:10for our children.
00:30:13He showed the ultimate
00:30:15and true
00:30:16covenantal love.
00:30:19I will never, ever
00:30:21have the words
00:30:23to describe the loss that I feel
00:30:25in my heart.
00:30:27I honestly
00:30:29have no idea what any of
00:30:31this means.
00:30:31I know that God does,
00:30:33but I don't.
00:30:35But Charlie, baby,
00:30:37I know you do, too.
00:30:38I know you do.
00:30:40So does our Lord.
00:30:41And our world is filled with evil.
00:30:49But our God,
00:30:50you guys,
00:30:51our God is so good.
00:30:55So incredibly good.
00:30:56And we know that for those who love God,
00:31:01all things work together for good
00:31:03for those who are called
00:31:05according to his purpose.
00:31:10Already, I have seen the worldwide
00:31:12outpouring of love for my husband.
00:31:14And I've heard the testimonies
00:31:17from people my husband inspired
00:31:18to get married,
00:31:19to start families,
00:31:21to seek out a relationship with God.
00:31:24It's the most important,
00:31:26most important one of all.
00:31:32The evildoers
00:31:33responsible for my husband's assassination
00:31:37have no idea
00:31:40what they have done.
00:31:44They killed Charlie
00:31:45because he preached
00:31:47a message of patriotism,
00:31:50faith,
00:31:51and of God's merciful love.
00:31:55They should all know this.
00:31:57If you thought
00:31:59that my husband's mission
00:32:01was powerful before,
00:32:04you have no idea.
00:32:06You have no idea
00:32:09what you just have unleashed
00:32:11across this entire country
00:32:12and this world.
00:32:15You have no idea.
00:32:18You have no idea
00:32:20the fire that you have
00:32:21ignited within this wife.
00:32:26The cries of this widow
00:32:28will echo around the world
00:32:30like a battle cry.
00:32:36To everyone listening tonight
00:32:38across America,
00:32:39the movement my husband built
00:32:41will not die.
00:32:43It won't.
00:32:45I refuse to let that happen.
00:32:47It will not die.
00:32:50All of us
00:32:51will refuse to let that happen.
00:32:55No one
00:32:55will ever forget
00:32:57my husband's name
00:32:58and I will make sure of it.
00:32:59it will become
00:33:03stronger,
00:33:05bolder,
00:33:07louder,
00:33:07and greater than ever.
00:33:09My husband's mission
00:33:11will not end,
00:33:12not even for a moment.
00:33:16And one of Charlie's
00:33:17greatest talents
00:33:18was his ability,
00:33:20this phenomenal ability
00:33:21to choose great people
00:33:22to follow him.
00:33:24He could always find
00:33:25the ones who could handle
00:33:27any setback.
00:33:29And it's almost like
00:33:30he knew.
00:33:30He just,
00:33:31he could see it in you.
00:33:33Even when you couldn't
00:33:33see it in yourself,
00:33:34he just knew.
00:33:35He knew you could handle it.
00:33:37You thought you only
00:33:38had 5% left
00:33:39and he knew you at 15.
00:33:42He knew you were,
00:33:43he never gave up.
00:33:45And I love knowing
00:33:46that one of his,
00:33:47one of his mottos
00:33:49was never surrender.
00:33:53So I want to tell you
00:33:54that,
00:33:54that
00:33:54we'll never surrender.
00:33:56We never will.

00:34:56filled with chaos,
00:34:57doubt,

00:35:03clearly than ever.
00:35:05And his wisdom
00:35:06will endure.
00:35:09My favorite,
00:35:11my favorite too,
00:35:12but my husband's
00:35:13favorite word
00:35:14in the English language
00:35:15was earn.
00:35:20He would call
00:35:20all of you
00:35:21to be people
00:35:22of action
00:35:22who earn
00:35:24the future

00:35:29So to all
00:35:29of the young people
00:35:30who felt inspired

00:35:36already know
00:35:37what Charlie
00:35:37would want you to do.
00:35:39You know.
00:35:41You know.
00:35:42If you're in
00:35:44high school
00:35:45or if you're
00:35:45in college,

00:35:48USA chapter.
00:35:50Join it.
00:35:52Stay involved.
00:35:54He wants you

00:35:57And you can.
00:35:59You can.
00:36:01The movement's
00:36:02not going anywhere.
00:36:03And it will only
00:36:04grow stronger
00:36:04when you join it.
00:36:08If there isn't
00:36:09a chapter,
00:36:10you can't find one,
00:36:11then start one.
00:36:11There is no excuse.
00:36:13You can start one.
00:36:15And as my husband
00:36:16used to say
00:36:17in this room
00:36:17every single day,
00:36:18if you want
00:36:19to get involved,
00:36:20the best way
00:36:21you can do that
00:36:21is going to
00:36:22tpusa.com.
00:36:24That's what he would
00:36:24say every day
00:36:25from this chair.
00:36:26Every single day.
00:36:27I watched his show
00:36:28every day
00:36:28and he would always say,
00:36:29if you want
00:36:30to get involved,
00:36:31go to tpusa.com.
00:36:34If you're a pastor,
00:36:36join our movement
00:36:36at TPUSA Faith.
00:36:38And if you're a parent,
00:36:39I highly recommend
00:36:41that you come
00:36:42to AmericaFest
00:36:43in December.
00:36:45Sign up right now
00:36:46for that
00:36:46because we would
00:36:47love to see you.
00:36:48I would love
00:36:49to see you.
00:36:50Charlie would.
00:36:51He'll be there.
00:36:52He'll be there
00:36:53in spirit.
00:36:55Bring your kids.
00:36:56Bring your family.
00:36:59But most important
00:36:59of all,
00:37:00if you aren't
00:37:00a member of a church,
00:37:02I beg you
00:37:02to join one.
00:37:03a Bible-believing church.
00:37:08Our battle
00:37:09is not simply
00:37:09a political one.
00:37:10Above all,
00:37:11it is spiritual.
00:37:13It is spiritual.
00:37:14The spiritual warfare
00:37:15is palpable.
00:37:20Charlie loved his Savior
00:37:21with all of his heart
00:37:22and he wanted
00:37:23every one of you
00:37:24to know him too.
00:37:27He wanted everyone
00:37:28to know that
00:37:28if they confess,
00:37:29if they confess
00:37:32the Lord Jesus Christ
00:37:34who rose from the dead,
00:37:36then they will be saved.
00:37:41Hear me when I say this.
00:37:43Nobody is ever too young
00:37:44to know the gospel.
00:37:47Nobody.
00:37:49Nobody is ever too young
00:37:50to get involved
00:37:51with saving
00:37:51this beautiful country,
00:37:53this country my husband
00:37:54loved and still loves.
00:37:58And nobody is ever
00:37:59too old either.
00:38:00There's no age limit.
00:38:05I know my husband
00:38:06is still here.
00:38:09He's watching over us.
00:38:14I don't remember
00:38:15the last time I slept.
00:38:18I couldn't sleep last night.
00:38:22And...
00:38:22Charlie, baby.
00:38:27Charlie, I promise.
00:38:28I will never let
00:38:30your legacy die, baby.
00:38:32I won't.
00:38:33I promise.
00:38:34I'll make Turning Point USA
00:38:35the biggest thing
00:38:36that this nation
00:38:37has ever seen.
00:38:39I promise.
00:38:42Charlie, I love you.
00:38:45I love you, baby.
00:38:48Rest in the arms
00:38:49of our Lord
00:38:50as he blankets you
00:38:52with the words,
00:38:53I know your heart
00:38:54always strives
00:38:56to hear.
00:38:58Well done,
00:38:59my good and faithful servant.
00:39:04When I got home
00:39:05last night,
00:39:09Gigi, our daughter,
00:39:12just ran into my arms.
00:39:13And I talked to her
00:39:18and she said,
00:39:19Mommy,
00:39:20I missed you.
00:39:20I said,
00:39:21I missed you too, baby.
00:39:22She goes,
00:39:22where's Daddy?
00:39:25What do you tell
00:39:26a three-year-old?
00:39:27She's three.
00:39:32I said,
00:39:32Baby,
00:39:33Daddy loves you
00:39:34so much.
00:39:35Don't you worry.
00:39:35He's on a work trip
00:39:37with Jesus
00:39:38so he can afford
00:39:39your blueberry budget.
00:39:44And my goodness,
00:39:45am I so humbled
00:39:46to witness
00:39:48Charlie,
00:39:50you alongside
00:39:51Jesus right now
00:39:52doing what you
00:39:53always want to do,
00:39:55baby.
00:39:57Making heaven crowded,
00:39:58right?
00:39:59That's what it's all about.
00:40:01Making heaven crowded.
00:40:06I can't wait
00:40:07to see you again
00:40:07one day.
00:40:12Thank you all again
00:40:13who love my husband,
00:40:14who supported him,
00:40:17who wrote him
00:40:18an email
00:40:18every single day
00:40:19during his radio show.
00:40:21He read all of them.
00:40:23All of them.
00:40:30God bless you all.
00:40:34And may God bless America.
00:40:37Erica Kirk,
00:40:44Charlie's widow,
00:40:46in one of the most
00:40:47powerful moments
00:40:48of this century.
00:40:50Talking directly
00:40:50to the evildoers,
00:40:52if you thought
00:40:52Charlie's mission
00:40:53was powerful before,
00:40:55you have no idea
00:40:56what you unleashed
00:40:57across this country.
00:40:59Saying her cries
00:41:00will echo
00:41:01around the world
00:41:02like a battle cry.
00:41:06Encouraging everybody
00:41:07to join a church,
00:41:08join Turning Point,
00:41:10start a chapter,
00:41:11become a part
00:41:14of the movement.
00:41:14It's a political
00:41:15and spiritual movement.
00:41:18She shared with us
00:41:19that Charlie
00:41:19loved what he did.
00:41:21She thanked
00:41:22the Vance family
00:41:23for bringing
00:41:24his remains home.
00:41:26She said,
00:41:27Mr. President,
00:41:27my husband loved you
00:41:29and he knew
00:41:29that you did too.
00:41:32She said that Charlie
00:41:33would want to be remembered
00:41:34for his courage
00:41:36and his faith
00:41:36and his top priority
00:41:39was to revive
00:41:40the American family.
00:41:44And that he stands now
00:41:45at his Savior's side

00:41:52Benny Johnson,

00:42:21Sage,

00:42:22Erica speak
00:42:24in the most eloquent
00:42:25and inspiring
00:42:26language that I think
00:42:28I've ever heard.
00:42:29How do you feel?
00:42:36I'm trying
00:42:37to gather
00:42:39myself
00:42:40in awe
00:42:41of what we just
00:42:43got to witness.
00:42:45I took notes
00:42:46like the old
00:42:47news reporter
00:42:48I have been
00:42:49for so many years
00:42:50and I have two pages
00:42:51here.
00:42:52But Jesse,
00:42:53the cries
00:42:55of this widow
00:42:55will echo
00:42:57around the world
00:42:58like a battle cry.
00:43:00I will never
00:43:01forget that
00:43:01and none
00:43:03of us should.
00:43:05I
00:43:05got to know Erica
00:43:06beginning just last
00:43:08December at America Fest
00:43:09and I brought my show
00:43:10there and she was
00:43:11running around
00:43:11talking to so many
00:43:12of us and when
00:43:13she sat down
00:43:13with me,
00:43:14I was taken
00:43:15aback by her
00:43:16warmth
00:43:16and how she
00:43:18made me feel
00:43:19some random
00:43:20podcaster.
00:43:21Her faith
00:43:22that day
00:43:24changed me.
00:43:26She sent me
00:43:27a text later
00:43:28and Bible
00:43:29in 365.
00:43:30As a Catholic,
00:43:32quite often we don't
00:43:32know scripture
00:43:33as well as I think
00:43:34we should
00:43:34and I do now
00:43:36a little bit better
00:43:37because of Erica
00:43:37Kirk.
00:43:38But Erica
00:43:39spoke so eloquently
00:43:44about her love
00:43:46for her husband,
00:43:48her pride
00:43:49in him
00:43:50and in her role
00:43:51as a wife.
00:43:53But her strength
00:43:54is something
00:43:54that I don't know
00:43:55people fully appreciated
00:43:56maybe until just now.
00:43:58As she described
00:43:59to me that day,
00:44:00she came from
00:44:00a broken home.
00:44:01A single mother
00:44:02who worked so hard
00:44:03to raise Erica.
00:44:05Her models
00:44:07were her grandparents
00:44:07and their beautiful marriage
00:44:08but she takes
00:44:09such strength
00:44:10from her mother
00:44:10and I think
00:44:11we saw that
00:44:12tonight.
00:44:13I am in awe
00:44:14of her
00:44:1548 hours
00:44:16after losing
00:44:17the love of her life
00:44:18and inspiring us,
00:44:21imploring us
00:44:22to not let
00:44:24the darkness
00:44:25take over.
00:44:27To take responsibility
00:44:28not just for ourselves
00:44:30but for our children
00:44:32and for strangers alike.
00:44:35Her message,
00:44:36I know you feel
00:44:37the same.
00:44:37I absolutely
00:44:38cannot imagine.
00:44:40I cannot imagine
00:44:40talking to my
00:44:41three-year-old child.
00:44:43There are
00:44:43no instruction books
00:44:45on how to do this.
00:44:47Erica Kirk
00:44:48is a hero
00:44:51of mine
00:44:52and I believe
00:44:54now millions
00:44:54of others
00:44:55because she's right.
00:44:56They have no idea
00:44:58what they have now
00:44:59unleashed.
00:45:00This is just
00:45:01the beginning.
00:45:03Yes,
00:45:04and Erica
00:45:04is someone
00:45:05that this country
00:45:06in the world
00:45:07will have to reckon
00:45:08with.
00:45:08That's for sure.
00:45:10Thank you so much,
00:45:11Sage Steele.
00:45:12Let's go to
00:45:12Benny Johnson
00:45:13who joins us again.
00:45:15Benny,
00:45:16your thoughts
00:45:16on what you just
00:45:17witnessed.
00:45:17you evil,
00:45:20evil
00:45:20bastards.
00:45:23You widowed
00:45:24that beautiful woman
00:45:25and now
00:45:26those two babies
00:45:27will have to live
00:45:29without their daddy.
00:45:31And why?
00:45:33Why, Jesse?
00:45:35Because you disagreed
00:45:37with someone's
00:45:37political opinions?
00:45:39Because you couldn't
00:45:40handle someone's
00:45:41free speech?
00:45:42Because of the
00:45:46First Amendment,
00:45:46Charlie Kirk
00:45:47wasn't killed
00:45:48because of the
00:45:48Second Amendment,
00:45:49Jesse.
00:45:49Charlie Kirk
00:45:50was killed
00:45:51because of the
00:45:51First Amendment.
00:45:54What kind of
00:45:54a country is this?
00:45:56What kind of
00:45:56a movement
00:45:56is the left
00:45:57now?
00:45:59A left
00:45:59that has
00:46:00dehumanized
00:46:01Charlie,
00:46:02has called him
00:46:03a Nazi,
00:46:04has called him
00:46:05a fascist,
00:46:06has called him
00:46:07deplorable.
00:46:09The entire
00:46:09movement
00:46:10dehumanizing
00:46:12and they paint
00:46:14a target
00:46:14on everyone's
00:46:15back when
00:46:15they do that.
00:46:17But
00:46:18after watching
00:46:19Erica,
00:46:20what's become
00:46:20clear
00:46:21is
00:46:22that it's
00:46:23backfired.
00:46:26That Charlie
00:46:27will become
00:46:27stronger
00:46:27in martyrdom.
00:46:29That's how it
00:46:29works with martyrs.
00:46:31There are
00:46:31vigils worldwide.
00:46:3317 different
00:46:34nations
00:46:35right now
00:46:35have ongoing
00:46:36vigils for
00:46:37Charlie Kirk.
00:46:38and
00:46:40that
00:46:41Charlie's
00:46:42life
00:46:42is
00:46:44going to
00:46:45carry on
00:46:45in
00:46:46Turning Point
00:46:47USA.
00:46:48This
00:46:48is
00:46:49something
00:46:50that I
00:46:50wanted to
00:46:51tell you,
00:46:51Jesse,
00:46:51because I've
00:46:52known Charlie
00:46:52and worked
00:46:52with him
00:46:53for a very
00:46:53long time.
00:46:53He loved
00:46:54your show
00:46:54and he
00:46:56loved
00:46:56your work
00:46:58and it
00:46:59was a
00:47:00profound
00:47:00honor for
00:47:00him to
00:47:01come on
00:47:01this
00:47:01program.
00:47:02And you
00:47:03got to
00:47:03witness
00:47:03the same
00:47:03thing
00:47:04that the
00:47:04rest of
00:47:04us
00:47:04got to
00:47:05witness
00:47:05in
00:47:05Charlie's
00:47:05life,
00:47:06which is
00:47:07the hand
00:47:07of God.
00:47:08I don't
00:47:09think I've
00:47:09ever
00:47:09witnessed
00:47:10a miracle
00:47:10before,
00:47:11but watching
00:47:12Charlie work
00:47:13and watching
00:47:13what he was
00:47:14able to
00:47:14build and
00:47:15watching the
00:47:16prophetic
00:47:16nature of
00:47:18what he
00:47:18said and
00:47:19the work
00:47:20of his
00:47:21life,
00:47:21I know
00:47:22that I
00:47:22witnessed
00:47:23a miracle.
00:47:25I know
00:47:25that I
00:47:26witnessed
00:47:26the prophetic
00:47:27hand of
00:47:28God working
00:47:29and moving
00:47:30today.
00:47:31And God
00:47:32is the
00:47:32author of
00:47:32life and
00:47:33death and
00:47:33he chose
00:47:34to bring
00:47:34Charlie
00:47:35home.
00:47:35I
00:47:36won't
00:47:36ever
00:47:37understand
00:47:37why.
00:47:38I
00:47:38don't
00:47:38know,
00:47:39but I
00:47:39know this.
00:47:39He is
00:47:40a
00:47:40Christian
00:47:40and
00:47:40American
00:47:41martyr
00:47:42and

00:47:43him
00:47:43by

00:48:19in a host
00:48:19of the
00:48:20Isabel Brown
00:48:21show.
00:48:21Isabel Brown,
00:48:23you knew
00:48:23Charlie well,
00:48:24you knew
00:48:24Erica.
00:48:27Tell us
00:48:27how you're
00:48:27feeling.
00:48:30Jesse,
00:48:31we can't
00:48:31even begin
00:48:32to express
00:48:33the level
00:48:34of our
00:48:34heartbreak
00:48:35that we're
00:48:35feeling,
00:48:36not just
00:48:37those of
00:48:37us close
00:48:38to Charlie
00:48:38as I'm
00:48:39sure you're
00:48:39feeling too,
00:48:40but the
00:48:41nation,
00:48:41this generation
00:48:42and the
00:48:43world.
00:48:45I am
00:48:45blown away
00:48:46by Erica's
00:48:47strength,
00:48:48by her
00:48:48humility,
00:48:50by her
00:48:50radiating
00:48:51beauty of
00:48:52God,
00:48:52but mostly
00:48:53by her
00:48:54faith that
00:48:55in what can
00:48:56only be
00:48:57described as
00:48:58the darkest
00:48:58of times,
00:48:59she has
00:48:59the fortitude
00:49:00and the
00:49:01courage to
00:49:02look upward
00:49:02and to
00:49:03know that
00:49:04this might
00:49:04not make
00:49:05sense for
00:49:05us today.
00:49:06And we
00:49:06may not
00:49:07understand what
00:49:07God's plan
00:49:08is in all
00:49:09of this,
00:49:09especially
00:49:10through our
00:49:10heartbreak,
00:49:11but we
00:49:12know that
00:49:12all things
00:49:13do work
00:49:13together for
00:49:14good for
00:49:15those who
00:49:16love the
00:49:16Lord.
00:49:17And
00:49:17throughout
00:49:18my life,
00:49:19and especially
00:49:19having this
00:49:20once-in-a-generation
00:49:22opportunity to
00:49:23be mentored by
00:49:23the great
00:49:24Charlie Kirk
00:49:24over the
00:49:25last eight
00:49:25years,
00:49:26I have
00:49:27never seen
00:49:27someone in
00:49:29a lifetime
00:49:29who has
00:49:30loved the
00:49:31Lord more
00:49:32than Charlie.
00:49:33I had the
00:49:35distinct privilege
00:49:36and honor of
00:49:36sharing the
00:49:37stage with
00:49:37Charlie about
00:49:38a week ago
00:49:39in one of
00:49:39his last
00:49:40speaking
00:49:40engagements
00:49:40on this
00:49:41earth,
00:49:42which I
00:49:43didn't know
00:49:43at the
00:49:43time,
00:49:44but I
00:49:44remember
00:49:44being floored
00:49:46by the
00:49:47moral conviction
00:49:49and the
00:49:50clear wisdom
00:49:50that he was
00:49:51radiating from
00:49:52the Holy
00:49:52Spirit to
00:49:53a level
00:49:53that I've
00:49:53never seen
00:49:54personally or
00:49:55publicly from
00:49:55Charlie.
00:49:57And he
00:49:57said during
00:49:58his speech
00:49:58that once
00:49:59people start
00:50:00to drink
00:50:00from the
00:50:01streams of
00:50:01liberty,
00:50:02they will
00:50:02want to
00:50:03know its
00:50:03source.
00:50:05Liberty is
00:50:05not man's
00:50:06idea,
00:50:06it's God's
00:50:07idea.
00:50:08And I'm
00:50:08shocked and
00:50:10amazed and
00:50:10humbled and
00:50:11inspired in
00:50:12the wake of
00:50:12this tragedy
00:50:13in the last
00:50:1448 hours,
00:50:15what we're
00:50:15seeing from
00:50:16a generation
00:50:16as they
00:50:17rise up on
00:50:18their college
00:50:18campuses,
00:50:19in America's
00:50:19city streets,
00:50:21in countries
00:50:21across the
00:50:22world,
00:50:22in digital
00:50:23algorithms,
00:50:23in everywhere
00:50:24they can.
00:50:25To praise
00:50:26God for
00:50:27the legacy
00:50:28of this
00:50:28extraordinary
00:50:29young man
00:50:30and to
00:50:30say we
00:50:30will never
00:50:31back down,
00:50:32we will
00:50:32never be
00:50:33afraid,
00:50:33we will
00:50:34never stop
00:50:34fighting for
00:50:35our convictions
00:50:35because we
00:50:36are all
00:50:37Charlie Kirk
00:50:38now.
00:50:38If you are
00:50:39a student on
00:50:40a college
00:50:40campus and
00:50:41you're making
00:50:41a difference
00:50:42today,
00:50:42we see you,
00:50:43we love you,
00:50:44we are so
00:50:45humbled by
00:50:46your courage,
00:50:47and if you're
00:50:47not currently
00:50:48involved in this
00:50:48incredible movement,
00:50:50please, please
00:50:50listen to Erica's
00:50:51plea to join
00:50:52Turning Point
00:50:53USA.
00:50:54I, long
00:50:54ago, was
00:50:55one of those
00:50:56college students
00:50:56who started a
00:50:57chapter on my
00:50:58campus, and
00:50:58Charlie, like
00:50:59with so many
00:51:00other dozens
00:51:01and dozens of
00:51:02people in the
00:51:02media space,
00:51:03gave me an
00:51:04opportunity to
00:51:05use my voice
00:51:05in a bigger
00:51:06way, but our
00:51:06calling to you
00:51:07now is to do
00:51:08that for an
00:51:09entire generation
00:51:10by the millions,
00:51:11and God, I hope
00:51:12they created a
00:51:13million Charlie
00:51:14Kirk's this
00:51:14week.
00:51:15Well, Isabel,
00:51:17as sad as we
00:51:18can all see
00:51:19you are, we
00:51:20can see this
00:51:21beautiful and
00:51:22pure glimmer
00:51:23of hope and
00:51:26of faith and
00:51:29trust in the
00:51:31Lord above, and
00:51:32it's inspiring,
00:51:33and thank you
00:51:34for sharing that
00:51:34with us.
00:51:35We really
00:51:35appreciate it.
00:51:37Thank you,
00:51:38Jesse.
00:51:39Utah Senator
00:51:40Mike Lee is
00:51:42here.
00:51:42Mike, you
00:51:42know, you
00:51:42see the trend
00:51:44lines, the
00:51:46country's not
00:51:47getting married,
00:51:48the country's
00:51:48not having
00:51:48children, the
00:51:49country's not
00:51:50going to church,
00:51:52and something
00:51:53like this
00:51:54happens, turning
00:51:56point, and you
00:51:57hear Erica and
00:51:59her beautiful
00:51:59words and her
00:52:00uplifting and
00:52:01courageous spirit
00:52:02inspire everybody
00:52:03to open their
00:52:06hearts to God
00:52:06and to come
00:52:07together and
00:52:08defeat evil and
00:52:10do what they
00:52:12love, like
00:52:12Charlie did
00:52:13what he loved.
00:52:14Is this it?
00:52:15Is this the
00:52:15turning point?
00:52:18Undoubtedly
00:52:19so, and my
00:52:20heart's touched
00:52:21by what we
00:52:23saw just
00:52:23moments ago
00:52:23with Erica
00:52:24Kirk laying
00:52:27bare what
00:52:28really is
00:52:29happening here.
00:52:30The hope and
00:52:31the enthusiasm
00:52:32that she
00:52:33expressed, even
00:52:34amidst heartbreak,
00:52:35was nothing
00:52:36short of
00:52:36inspiring.
00:52:37We've all
00:52:37been wondering
00:52:38over the last
00:52:38few days, who
00:52:39on earth could
00:52:40step in and
00:52:41fill the shoes
00:52:41left by Charlie
00:52:42Kirk, and I
00:52:43think we've
00:52:43seen that.
00:52:45We've seen
00:52:45who that is, and
00:52:47her name is
00:52:47Erica Kirk, and
00:52:48is nothing short
00:52:49of inspiring.
00:52:51The words that
00:52:52she spoke were
00:52:53at once really
00:52:55giving hope to
00:52:57millions of
00:52:57people who
00:52:58found hope in
00:52:59Charlie's message.
00:53:00But she was
00:53:01also appropriately
00:53:02calling out those
00:53:03who may have
00:53:04contributed to this,
00:53:05some knowingly,
00:53:06others less so.
00:53:07But look, when
00:53:09you have people
00:53:09over and over
00:53:10again calling
00:53:12conservatives Nazis,
00:53:14comparing them to
00:53:15Hitler, it causes
00:53:16people, particularly
00:53:17the criminally
00:53:18deranged, it
00:53:20causes them to
00:53:20start looking for
00:53:22and feeling like
00:53:22they're being
00:53:23encouraged to
00:53:24carry out their
00:53:24own Operation
00:53:25Valkyrie.
00:53:26Trump is not
00:53:27Hitler, neither
00:53:27was Charlie Kirk,
00:53:29and this is not
00:53:30your Valkyrie
00:53:30moment.
00:53:31It's time to
00:53:32stop this.
00:53:33We see it all
00:53:34over the place.
00:53:34We see it in the
00:53:35mainstream news
00:53:36media.
00:53:36We see it among
00:53:36politicians.
00:53:38Conservatives are
00:53:39not Nazis.
00:53:40You've got to
00:53:40stop doing this.
00:53:41It brings out
00:53:42the very wrong
00:53:43things in people.
00:53:45But the right
00:53:46things are brought
00:53:47out by messages
00:53:47like what we just
00:53:48saw from Erica
00:53:49Kirk.
00:53:50It's a message
00:53:51of hope.
00:53:51It's a message
00:53:52that says, yes,
00:53:53Charlie's gone.
00:53:53He's been taken
00:53:54to us, taken
00:53:55from us far
00:53:55too young.
00:53:57But they just
00:53:58created a million,
00:53:5910 million,
00:54:00100 million
00:54:01more Charlie
00:54:01Kirks.
00:54:02They haven't
00:54:03seen anything
00:54:03yet.
00:54:04His legacy,
00:54:06will continue
00:54:06to expand
00:54:07long after
00:54:08he's left
00:54:09us.
00:54:10And your
00:54:12great state
00:54:13of Utah
00:54:13has really
00:54:15shown who
00:54:17they are in
00:54:17the last 48
00:54:18hours.
00:54:19There was no
00:54:20violence.
00:54:20Everybody prayed
00:54:21and supported
00:54:22law enforcement.
00:54:24And what do you
00:54:24know?
00:54:25This alleged
00:54:26perpetrator was
00:54:27apprehended very
00:54:28quickly and will
00:54:29be brought,
00:54:30we believe,
00:54:30to swift justice
00:54:31and receive the
00:54:32ultimate penalty,
00:54:34the penalty of
00:54:35death.
00:54:35What is it
00:54:36about Utah
00:54:36that allowed
00:54:38that to
00:54:38happen?
00:54:40Well,
00:54:40first and foremost,
00:54:41we've got great
00:54:42law enforcement
00:54:43and I want to
00:54:43commend our
00:54:44local, state,
00:54:46and federal law
00:54:46enforcement.
00:54:48You saw them
00:54:49today working
00:54:50with Governor
00:54:51Cox, with Utah
00:54:52County Sheriff
00:54:54Mike Smith.
00:54:55And I want to
00:54:56give a shout out
00:54:57to my friends
00:54:57Cash Patel and
00:54:58Dan Bongino,
00:54:59who flew all the
00:54:59way out to Utah
00:55:00to make this
00:55:00happen.
00:55:01They did a great
00:55:01job.
00:55:01They did a
00:55:03great job.
00:55:03And we've got
00:55:04big families.
00:55:05We're all related.
00:55:05So everybody knows
00:55:06everybody.
00:55:06You can't run too
00:55:07far here.
00:55:08And I think that
00:55:08helped apprehend
00:55:09them as well.
00:55:10But this was a
00:55:10very serious
00:55:11thing.
00:55:12I spoke to
00:55:13President Trump
00:55:13the other day
00:55:14just moments
00:55:15after Charlie
00:55:16had been
00:55:16pronounced dead.
00:55:18And he
00:55:19reiterated to
00:55:20me, he said,
00:55:20please just
00:55:21hope and pray
00:55:22that your Utah
00:55:24law enforcement
00:55:24folks keep
00:55:25working hard as
00:55:25they have been,
00:55:26and as I know
00:55:27they will be,
00:55:27because he said,
00:55:28with each passing
00:55:29hour, it gets
00:55:29harder to find
00:55:30the assailant.
00:55:31And I'm so glad
00:55:32they did.
00:55:32This was an
00:55:33answer to a lot
00:55:34of prayers.
00:55:34Yes.
00:55:35A job well done
00:55:35by everybody
00:55:36out there in
00:55:37law enforcement
00:55:37and at the
00:55:38federal level.
00:55:41Great job.
00:55:42Thank you so
00:55:42much, Senator.
00:55:45Let's now bring
00:55:45in Visiting
00:55:46Scholar at
00:55:47Ole Miss,
00:55:48Gad said.
00:55:48Professor,
00:55:49you heard Erica
00:55:50speak so well
00:55:51about good
00:55:53versus evil
00:55:53and a battle
00:55:56between them
00:55:58that needs
00:55:58to be waged,
00:56:00not physically,
00:56:01not violently,
00:56:02but through
00:56:03ideas and
00:56:04through passion
00:56:05and through
00:56:06the Holy Spirit.
00:56:09What are we
00:56:09up against
00:56:10here?
00:56:12Well, speaking
00:56:12of evil
00:56:13versus goodness,
00:56:14I was astonished
00:56:16in seeing her
00:56:17poison grace.
00:56:19It would be
00:56:20perfectly reasonable
00:56:21from an evolutionary
00:56:22perspective to feel
00:56:24rancor,
00:56:25vengefulness,
00:56:26vindictiveness,
00:56:27and yet 48 hours
00:56:29after Charlie's
00:56:30murder, she's
00:56:31able to come
00:56:32address the
00:56:33nation with
00:56:34nothing but hope
00:56:35and love.
00:56:36And to the extent
00:56:37that she's able
00:56:38to do what seems
00:56:38to me like a
00:56:39superhuman ability,
00:56:41it largely comes
00:56:42from her faith.
00:56:44But what I wanted
00:56:45to do, perhaps
00:56:45to sort of end
00:56:46the show on a
00:56:47positive and good
00:56:48note, take us
00:56:49into the weekend
00:56:49to the extent
00:56:50that we can do
00:56:51such a thing
00:56:51in such a tragic
00:56:52case, you
00:56:53know, teenagers
00:56:54are difficult
00:56:55to get their
00:56:56attention.
00:56:56I have a 16-year-old
00:56:58teenage daughter
00:56:59who it's hard
00:57:00to wrestle her
00:57:01away from her
00:57:02iPhone and so
00:57:03on.
00:57:04And I've spoken
00:57:05to a lot of,
00:57:06I have a lot
00:57:07of famous and
00:57:07powerful and
00:57:08impressive friends.
00:57:10One of the only
00:57:11ones that she
00:57:12said very shyly,
00:57:13hey daddy, do you
00:57:15think that when
00:57:16you talk today
00:57:17to Charlie Kirk
00:57:17on a show,
00:57:18you could introduce
00:57:19me to him?
00:57:20That's it.
00:57:21That says it all.
00:57:22She didn't ask me
00:57:23that when I was
00:57:24going to chat
00:57:25with Elon Musk.
00:57:26She didn't ask me
00:57:27that when I've got
00:57:28a litany of famous
00:57:29professors who want
00:57:30to talk to me.
00:57:31But when Charlie Kirk
00:57:32was going to chat
00:57:33with me, she turned
00:57:34into, you know,
00:57:35a little fangirl.
00:57:36That shows you the
00:57:37power of what
00:57:38Charlie did.
00:57:39And I think
00:57:40Turning Point is
00:57:41in good hands based
00:57:42on what I just saw
00:57:43from Erica.
00:57:44The future looks
00:57:45bright.
00:57:45Yeah, my 13-year-old
00:57:47daughter, Sophia.
00:57:49She's never asked
00:57:49me to have a picture
00:57:52with anybody.
00:57:53You know who it
00:57:53was?
00:57:54Charlie Kirk.
00:57:55She couldn't believe
00:57:57that I knew
00:57:58Charlie Kirk.
00:58:00And that's a
00:58:02wonderful thing.
00:58:03You can see that
00:58:05his spirit is
00:58:06living on through
00:58:08Erica.
00:58:08and she will be
00:58:10a force of nature
00:58:13for a long time
00:58:16to come.
00:58:18Indeed.
00:58:19And, you know,
00:58:20in evolutionary
00:58:21theory, there's
00:58:22this principle of
00:58:22birds of a feather
00:58:23flock together
00:58:24for a happy marriage.
00:58:25You want people
00:58:26to assort together
00:58:27that have similar
00:58:28values and so on.
00:58:30Boy, I've never
00:58:31seen it more in
00:58:32practice than now
00:58:33seeing Erica.
00:58:34Because I already
00:58:34knew Charlie well
00:58:35and I knew that
00:58:36he was a gem.
00:58:37But now seeing
00:58:38Erica,
00:58:39I get why
00:58:40they chose each
00:58:40other.
00:58:41Yeah, and they
00:58:41would have been
00:58:42the perfect power
00:58:43couple, perhaps
00:58:44president and
00:58:45first lady.
00:58:46But things did
00:58:47not work out
00:58:48that way.
00:58:49And she did
00:58:50say that if he
00:58:51if he ever was
00:58:53going to run for
00:58:53office, his top
00:58:54priority would be
00:58:55to revive the
00:58:56American family.
00:58:58And in a
00:58:58beautiful and
00:59:00strange way,
00:59:02his assassination
00:59:04may revive the
00:59:05American family.
00:59:07And that is
00:59:07something we can
00:59:08look forward to.
00:59:09Gad said, thank
00:59:09you so much for
00:59:10joining us.
00:59:12Cheers.
00:59:12And thank you
00:59:13everybody for
00:59:14sticking with
00:59:15Jesse Waters
00:59:15primetime to
00:59:16listen to that
00:59:18beautiful, uplifting
00:59:20message from
00:59:21Charlie Kirk's
00:59:23widow, Erica,
00:59:24who inspired
00:59:25everybody to
00:59:26get back at it,
00:59:29speak truth to
00:59:30power, find their
00:59:32God, join a
00:59:32church, get
00:59:33married, have a
00:59:34family, and
00:59:35fight for what's
00:59:36right.
00:59:37Erica, we love
00:59:38you, Charlie.
00:59:39We will always
00:59:40love you.
00:59:41Have a great
00:59:42night, everybody.
00:59:43Reloading!
