Deeply. When a young man with a wife and two baby girls whose offense apparently is to engage debate challenge in a very happy and joyous way, to spend his young life fighting for his country. And the president he so loved and helped elect is assassinated in broad daylight in front of several thousand students. The reports are a high powered rifle at a long distance, one shot. There's going to be some kind of a press event. As soon as it appears, we will go right to it. You know, I'm looking at the text. Charlie Wood, text and really a sweetheart. He was a man of deep, deep faith. He was a truly faithful Christian. He loved America. He loved our founding, he loved our history. He loved his audience. He loved intellectual challenges. He dropped out of college. Rush dropped out of college. And yet he's one of the smartest people you could know. We are going to play in his honor an interview I did of Charlie on Fox on Life, Liberty and Levin for the full hour when his book came out and he couldn't stop praising me for having him on, he, he was so, what, what's the word? The guy didn't have an ego. He didn't have an ego. You know, it's a strange thing. I often go back and I look at the last texts and emails I had with Rush and let's see here. And I was looking at these just before the show and Charlie Kirk and after the bombing of Iran where we had a slight disagreement, he texted me, okay, you were right. Can we now join together in support of the President. He wrote my wife and me, I said, 100%. You got it, buddy. Sweetheart, you just, just a sweetheart sends me a text out of the Blue on July 26th when we did a show on Fox on Obama and what we uncovered here on the radio and he writes, love this flack flashback episode you're airing. So very good. When Tulsi Gabbard came out with information. I said, thank you, my friend. I think we'll see you in studio tomorrow. This is when my book was coming out. He said, yes, I look forward to it. I want to get you back on my show about your book. I need to read it because it just came out. I said, thank you and, you know, just congratulations on your book. Just, just, you know. He's busy, young man, but never too busy. When Dennis Prager had his accident, he got out of the shower and fell and hit the back of his head on the bathtub. I don't know if I ever mentioned the specifics. He's the one who called me horrified, incredibly upset, broken. That Dennis Prager. We all were, but was paralyzed. Went to see him at the hospital, kept me apprised of Prager's condition. Charlie did. When we would do events for KRLA Salem out in los. In Los Angeles, he always sat next to me. You know why he always sat next to me? Because we would crack jokes to each other constantly. Crack jokes. Yep. And let's see here. I'm not going to read everything here because some of it's personal, the legal issues. He saw something I posted. He said, need your wisdom on how we counter these injunctions. I'm at a loss. That's a major, major issue. I posted a photo, a little video my daughter had taken was on December 22, Sunday, at President Trump's club in Florida. Charlie was to the right of me, President to the left of me, Judge Jeanine to the left of him. He was having a blast. And he was talking about who we need in this cabinet position or that cabinet cabinet position and trying to enlist me. Hey, I'm having dinner with you and the president tonight. We're going to make a push for fill in the blank for fill in a blank position. If you can say some good things, that would be awesome. November 14th. Hey, Dennis just moved his foot voluntarily. That's a good sign. Listen to this, Rich. Because I said, how is he doing? And he would send other things where he was, you know, where he was enlisting me in one battle or another, but always so pleasant. He wanted us to help in Nebraska, the Electoral College. There he was always looking for ways to advance the cause of liberty, always looking for ways to try and get President Trump elected to influence college campuses. He came under attack by the left, of course, as being anti Muslim. We came to his defense here. He heard about that. Very kind of you. Thank you, Mark. Means a lot. Just a very, very good man. President posted. I posted what he did. I'm sure the President is deeply upset. I guarantee it. I guarantee it. There were Shabbat dinners, some at Turning Point usa, because Charlie wanted to have them. And he would wear a kippa, a yarmulke. And we met his beautiful wife Erica several times. I have a tweet here from Charlie trying to see the date on this. I can't. You want to hear this, Mr. Producer? Assassination culture spreading on the left. This is Charlie Kirk. 48% of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. 55% said the same about Donald Trump. In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione. The left is being whipped up into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response. This is the natural outgrowth of left wing protest culture, tolerating violence and mayhem. For years on end, the cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into ticking time bombs. April 7th, actually 2025. My God, was he right. Absolutely incredible. Now, not just in the United States, Charlie's impact was felt around the world. This is from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Charlie Kirk was murdered for speaking truth and defending freedom. A lion hearted friend of Israel, he fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo Christian civilization. I spoke to him only two weeks ago and invited him to Israel. Sadly, now that visit will not take place. We lost an incredible human being. His boundless pride in America and his valiant belief in free speech will leave a lasting impact. Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk. Yep. And we'll be right back, folks.
