Sam, my friend was martyred for using his voice to engage in peaceful dialogue. Charlie's assassin thought that he could steal in silence his voice by putting a Bullet in his neck. In the words of Soren Kiergaard, the tyrant dies and his rule is over. The martyr dies, and his rule has just begun. Charlie was not silenced. His movement is only beginning. The voices of millions globally have been awakened, furthering his cause and mission far beyond anyone's comprehension. We won't cower in fear. We will never surrender. We are resolved to live free from lies and seek out what is true. We will respectfully, boldly challenge what is accepted by culture in order to seek out what is true and acceptable to God Almighty alone. Charlie's having some serious heavenly FOMO right now. Look at this. You have no idea how much Charlie Kirk wants a bullhorn down here right now. He always said to me, if we could just figure out how to bring the Holy Spirit into a trump rally, Think you've done it. And we will come to find. We will come to find that in the final moment that Western civilization was saved through Charlie's sacrifice in the only way possible by returning the people to almighty God. For greater love hath no man than this, than he who laid down his life for his friends. Are you ready to continue the mission? Are you ready to fight back? And are you ready to put on the full armor of God and face the evil in high places and the spiritual warfare before us? Then put on the full armor of God. Do it now. Now is the time. This is the place. This is the turning point for Charlie. In the time I have remaining, I'm going to ask all who profess Christ as their sav to remain seated. The Bible says if you profess me before man, I'll profess you before my Father in heaven. It requires an act of faith. You stand. That's what Charlie did every day on campus with death threats. He stood because he knew in whom he had trusted. And he wants to give you the gift of the why and what he did, and that is his Savior, Jesus. While believers are seated, if there's any in this room and across the globe that would desire to receive Jesus as their savior, as Charlie did as a young man and now is in the presence of his Savior, I'm going to ask you to put action to your faith. And I'd ask you to stand right now to receive the Lord. Don't be ashamed. Stand. Amen. Amen. Amen. The Bible says. The Bible says that when one sinner gives their heart to the Lord, the angels in heaven rejoice. And I gotta tell you, there's one up there right now, Charlie Kirk. He's stoked and he's excited about your commitment to his Savior. One moment, Charlie was doing what he loved, arguing and debating on campus, fighting for the gospel and truth in front of a big crowd. And then he blinked. He blinked and saw his savior in paradise. Today that gives me great comfort because 11 days ago, as a cowardly assassin, crawled on his stomach to end Charlie's life on earth. I'm betting Charlie saw the Son of God standing tall to welcome him home. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the greatest treasures of Charlie's heart. His beautiful wife Erica and his two precious children. To watch Charlie with his family, the joy on his face, the devotion in his eyes was to see the gospel lived out. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. That is true and you can feel it here. The thing about Charlie's message, I've thought a lot about it and I'm trying not to be emotional because in addition to everything else, he was a wonderful man and a decent man and one of those rare people you meet who you just groove with in conversation and have these very intense conversations that you don't stop thinking about, which is my experience with him. But the main thing about Charlie and his message, he was bringing the gospel to the country. He was doing the thing that the people in charge hate most, which is calling for them to repent. Fight for Charlie Kirk, who feels the Holy Spirit in the house tonight, who can feel that revival happening right now. How does it always work? What man intends for evil, God intends for good. Evil thought that there would be a funeral today. God has created a revival right here in this house right now. One of the things he wants to. To take away from this, from all of this, is the following. His deep belief that we were all created, every single one of us, before the beginning of time by the hands of the God of the universe, an all powerful God who loved us and created us for the purpose of living with him in eternity. But then sin entered the world and separated us from our Creator. And so God took on the form of a man and came down and lived among us. And he suffered like men and he died like a man. But on the third day, he rose unlike any mortal man. And then, and to prove any doubters wrong, he ate with his disciples so they could see and they touched his wounds. He didn't rise as a ghost or as a spirit, but his flesh. And then he rose to the heaven. But he promised he would return. And he will. And when he returns, because he took on that death, because he carried that cross, we were freed from the sin that separated us from him. And when he returns, there will be a new heaven and a new earth and we will all be together. And we are going to have a great reunion there again with Charlie and all the people we love. To our enemies, you have nothing to give. You have nothing to offer. You have nothing to share but bitterness. We have beauty. We have light. We have goodness. We have determination. We have vision. We have strength. We built the world that we inhabit now, generation by generation, and we will defend this world. We will defend goodness. We will defend light. We will defend virtue. You cannot terrify us. You cannot frighten us. You cannot threaten us, because we are on the side of goodness. We are on the side of God. And to my friend Charlie, to my brother Charlie, I know you are looking at us right now. I know you're watching Erica right now. I know you're watching your children right now. And I promise you, my friend, I promise you, my brother, we will prove worthy of your sacrifice. We will prove worthy of your time on earth. We will make you proud. We will finish the job. We will defeat the forces of darkness and evil. And we will stand every day for what is true, what is beautiful, what is good. And we will achieve victory for our children, for our families, for our civilization, for every patriot who stands with us. God bless you. God bless Turning Point, God bless Erica, God bless the Kirk family, God bless our heroes, and God bless the United States of America. Thank you. Charlie Kirk, a patriot, a conservative, a leader, a builder, an advocate, an author, a lover of freedom, a husband, a father, a Christian, and a warrior. You see, Charlie Kirk was a true believer for the cause of freedom, for the power of young people, belief in our republic and our founding principles in America first and make America great again. But more importantly, he was a true believer. Only Christ is King, our Lord and Savior. The lesson of Charlie's life is that you should never underestimate what one person can do with a good heart, a righteous cause, a cheerful spirit, and the will to fight. Fight, fight, fight. Have to fight. Charlie's mission, above all, was aimed directly at those who aren't married. He named his organization well. He knew things were not right with America and especially with young people. And they needed a new Charlie passionately wanted to reach and save the lost boys of the West. The young men who feel like they have no direction, no purpose, no faith and no reason to live. The men wasting their lives on distractions. And the men consumed with resentment, anger and hate. Charlie wanted to help them. He wanted them to have a home with Turning Point usa. And when he went onto campus, he was looking to show them a better path and a better life that was right there for the taking. He wanted to show them that my husband, Charlie, he wanted to save young men just like the one who took his life on the cross. Our Savior said, father, forgive them for they not know what they do. That man, that young man, I forgive him. It's Monday, the 22nd of September, the year of our Lord 2025, the day after one of the, I think most important events, not just modern American history. I think all of American history. The Holy Spirit in a Trump rally Short break Back in the worm in a moment.

Charlie taught us to forgive, but. And then it'd be like, oh, this is all the left wing's fault. Or oh, these are people who hated and mocked and ridiculed. There were. There were two beats and it, it did sound. When the politicians got up there sounded very discordant. Instead of celebration of a life and talking about Jesus words and Jesus commandments of us to forgive others there, at times there was another tone that was taken. So I found that to be discordant. What I was thinking was it would be too glib and I think there are going to be A lot of folks, I would imagine, on the center and left of American politics who will be reflexively uncomfortable with what unfolded yesterday. What I would urge is not to be reflexively uncomfortable, but to take each of those who addressed that audience, addressed the nation, addressed in many cases, the world, and take their words on their own merits and in their own context. There's going to be a lot of talk. I'm sure David's email box is full of people seeking to understand this thing called Christian nationalism. But there was a feeling, particularly with Mrs. Kirk, that it was something that had a genuine, what appeared to be a genuinely religious component. And then came the president who spoke the way President Trump speaks, and that should be considered on its merits as well. But I'm a big believer, as I think you are, Joe, that we must separate church and state. There's a religious case for that, by the way. Originally, that notion of a wall of separation between church and state, which was an image that came from Richard Hooker, an Anglican divine, came through Thomas Jefferson, and then the Supreme Court picked the image up in the 20th century. The initial point of the wall was not to protect the state from the church, but the church from the state. The original phrase was that the garden of Christ's church should not be damaged by the state. That said religion and politics, because they're both about people, they're both about human nature, they're both about our sense of the origins, course and destiny of life. Religion and politics can't be separated. They have to be managed and marshaled. This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemy because we're going medieval on these people. Reasons I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Band. By the way, I want to give a hat tip. Amazing cold open that I think got to the essence of and maybe we can play some of the music later. The music was incredible, much like the Kennedy and we're the only channel when I thank Robin Parker Sig too at Real America's voice. We're the only channel that covered all of the Kennedy center in its entirety and and the event yesterday in its entirety, plus hours of pre game analysis and post game. I want to thank my co host yesterday, David Brody and of course Dr. Gina Louden for doing yeoman work. The entire crew is just incredible. The what has become evident since the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And I think the reason this was a global event yesterday said 100 million people watched it was or at least watched part of it is that the underlying, not just decency of Charlie Kirk and humility of Charlie Kirk, but it was informed by his, not just his religion or not kind of modern Catholicism or modern mainstream Protestant faith, but a deep to the center of his being, what I call lived Christianity. Including that part of live Christianity which is about courage because you know, you're a believer in eternal life. So in this manifestation, yes, it's obviously the life you have, but there is something beyond and something you feel comfort in. And knowing that every day that you can go into the lion's den, Charlie Kirk went into the hardest of the heart. This is why he's such a legend. And people that have just come to Charlie Kirk's work, particularly after 24 in the ballot chasing initiative and the ground game initiative of which in politics really was what when people saw the fruit of his going to college campuses and turning young people not just to vote, but also to get them out to vote and to have them work with people like at the precinct strategy and others to form this kind of vast ground game that led President Trump to this come from behind stunning victory that the left still hasn't come to grips with and they're not going to come to grips with it. Let's be blunt. And that's why I think the highlight. I want to really thank my team for that highlight reel because there was, there was a very hard, muscular Christianity in there yesterday. And you saw by Benny Johnson and Jack Posobec, people very, very close to Charlie. I think it's of note that two of the people up there that were the closest to him personally came out as bad, as hard as you could possibly come out. And of course the great Stephen Miller with what he had to say. But the young man at the beginning, McCoy, I think it's, it's Pastor McCoy's son who is Charlie's body man, slash chief of staff. It was a great way to kind of open with him when he said bring the Holy Spirit. What Charlie wanted was to bring the Holy Spirit into a Trump rally. He knew, Charlie knew the power of the Trump rallies, of pulling it together. Remember one of Charlie Kirk's journeys, particularly when I first met him, he was pretty much his philosophy because what he had learned was pretty much traditional Republicanism. Charlie's journey to kind of a populist nationalist was a journey that was incredible to watch because he absorbed he's a learning machine. Part of that was not being corrupted by going to college. In making a decision after he was turned down by West Point, that he got some of these other places. He wasn't going to do it. He was going to do himself and learned and he turned himself into a learning organization. And part of what he learned, obviously you talk to the pastors and other people around him, was a journey that made Christ centered his entire life and informed his work. That's why he had the bravery to do it. That's why he succeeded. I think for so many others fail. Not that they're not courageous, not that they're not focused, not that they're not good people and tough people. But Charlie had something else. He was bringing the Holy Spirit to a Trump rally. Essentially the merging of the populist nationalists with this informed lived Christianity, this muscular Christianity, as he said, not the soft part of Christianity, but the hard part. That was the power. And I think you saw it develop and be revealed every day since Charlie's assassination. It culminated yesterday. The reason I say this is such an important event, as you remember on the show yesterday, I teed it up with. It was historic in itself. Never has a government of the United States ever brought as many cabinet people and others. I think he had cash and Dan Borgino and others. Johnson, he had so many other congressmen, he had so many others that couldn't even make the stage because you had to keep the stage part fairly succinct and still ran to hours, is that not only did you have for the first time to travel out to a non elected officials or you know, senior military, you know, senior general, winner of wars to pay respects to that individual, but the entire program, the entire program, from the first moment, the bagpipe or the backpack, sorry, the first moment that the Christian singing started at what, 7 o' clock in the morning or 8 o' clock in the morning, Pacific time all the way through was incredible. Revival is, yes, revival is definitely a term of it. They expected a funeral and they got a revival and that the left was not prepared for that, but it was in the government officials. And I said this earlier, like the Kennedy thing, the powerful part is the way they set up with the Christian music and the Christian worship and altar calls and all that. But then the government officials and the government officials and people like Don Jr. And President Trump revealed a part of themselves that is absolutely in tune with the underlying message of Charlie Kirk. And it's now for we the Living to propel that into the future. Obviously with the with the guidance and the infusion of the Holy Spirit, it took probably one of the youngest speakers up there channeling Charlie Kirk and talking about Charlie Kirk to remind us of that short break.

But as to forgive but and then it'd be like oh, this is all the left wing's fault or oh, these are people who hated and mocked and ridiculed. There were, there were two beats and it, it did sound, when the politicians got up there sounded very discordant. Instead of celebration of a life and talking about Jesus's words and, and Jesus's commandments of us to forgive others there at times there, there was another tone that, that, that was taken. See how I found that to be discordant. See how insidious. You see? You see discordant. You see how insidious this is? It was not discordant at all. No, no, absolutely not. It was all of a piece I said yesterday. There's an unspeakable power there in that arena and what went out throughout the world. That's why it attracted 100 million viewers. Believe me, 100 million people didn't know about Charlie Kirk at 12:23 Mountain Time on the 10th of September in the year of our lower 2025 when a 30 odd six or a bullet, I guess we're still trying to get all the information about that sort took his earthly life. They sure know about it now. And no, it was not discordant. Joe Scarborough it was all of a piece. And what do they fear? They fear this phrase, Christian nationalism. Christian nationalism. And you saw that that is a muscular form of Christianity. America is a Christian nation. They're just going to have to accept that they keep pushing back. Yes, we welcome other religions to practice. United States has never tried to shut down religions. You're free to practice religious freedom is very important and we're based on the foundations of the Judeo Christian West. But we are the leading country, the new Jerusalem. We're the leading country in Christendom. Now Christendom is imploding in Europe. Right? Christendom is imploding. Where the church was formed, the desert church. Remember the whole point, you had to be from 33, when I'm using rough number, but because I realized, oh, Christ was born in the year, you know, two years before A.D. but just the rough numbers, 33 up until 36 three years later, you had to be Jewish. Christianity began particularly after the Pentecost and with the apostles in the apostolic age, began as a section Judaism for about three years. Then they made a fundamental decision that you didn't have to convert to Judaism. You have to be. They could go directly to the Gentiles and get Gentiles to convert to Christianity. Why was that? Because the church in the central church was going to be in Jerusalem. Because it didn't get any traction, Got very little traction. Now, part of that was a mass persecution of Christians. As we talked about St Stephen, my patron saint, that's name came up over and over again according to Charlie Kirk, the blood of the martyrs. And yes, Charlie Kirk is a modern Christian martyr, full stop, and modern American martyr. You see the evil that's come out, not come out, it's always been there. And those of us that knew Charlie's worker, those of us who just do this every day, we see this evil. Why am I banging the table? Last week, from the day we got to Utah on the evening of Charlie's execution, that you can't let local authorities just make this into a murder of an individual. This has to be looked at in a broader context and get to the bottom of all of it. We can't have a grassy knoll 2.0, not for this generation, not for that young generation. You can't do that. We can't do that again. We did that for the boomers, right? With the Warren Commission and all the gun decking and lying and misrepresentation and hiding of the facts. Then what? I don't know. 70, 80 years afterwards, we still have to release information. And even President Trump says, hey, people will never buy into it. The history of this whole thing is quite important because we are at inflection point and Obama sees it and we see it, everybody sees it. The here and now. Quo vadis, whither thou goest? Remember those words to St. Peter when he was fleeing Rome after Nero burned the city. Whither thou goest? Quo vadis. Well, whither. That was an inflection point. And the church had to go underground, but it survived. Now, this moment, and that was what yesterday was. And that's what Joe Scarborough and these Guys that was coming above ground. And yes, political figures and people that you would never know, like Marco Rubio, go back and maybe I break that down tonight at 6. Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, Don Jr. I mean, it was people repeat Heggs a little different. But Marco Rubio and maybe Don Jr. You don't expect that of listen to it, watch it. And something was flowing through them. Something was flowing through all the political figures. You know what that was the Holy Spirit. ROYCE White, Christian nationalism. And you live in a city that is kowtowing to kind of a radical branch of Islam and you have one of the most offensive people in this country that is up in our grill every day as she raises more money. What say you, sir? Yeah, Minneapolis belly the beast. Islamic call to prayer five times a day. We were the first major city in the United States to pass that law under Mayor Jacob Fry. Now we have a radical Islamic communist that is running for mayor. So maybe we have an upsell here on Islamic radicalism. But Ilhan Omar, you want one of the worst in the country. We know who she is. We know what she's about. I've been saying from the beginning that she was with the globalists. She votes against the anti CCP fentanyl bill. That tells you exactly where she stands on the American people. Shouldn't surprise us. We need to get her out of this country. We should look into the immigration fraud and deport her, pull her out of Congress. And that should happen fairly quickly. Charlie Kirk was the embodiment of an American hero and he paid the ultimate price for his faith and he was granted the ultimate glory and has received the ultimate reward. And, and we should all be so lucky. We should all be so lucky that our life and our work bring as many people to Christ as it appears. Charlie's has Charlie Focus they said yesterday about the focus on on young men in that in, in Erica, who gave just magnificent again yesterday. You think about it in the moment, just like she was on her national broadcast on that Friday night. She talked about the lost boys of the West. How did that what does that mean to you, ROYCE White? Well, I think like you said, Christianity has been underground. There's an unspoken agreement when you grow up as a young man that Christianity is not acceptable, it's not permissible to your goals, let's say, to, to be successful as an adult. Right? So I definitely felt that coming up in, in the professional basketball world or in the basketball world as a youth, Christianity became shunned and it happened right in my Generation Charlie was 31, I'm 34. And. And that's. That's kind of what pushed me to the, to the right in the first place. After George Floyd died, I led all these people to the Federal Reserve. I said, hey, let's not talk about police. Let's talk about how the money works. And all of a sudden, I hear all these young white liberal women saying that Christianity is white supremacy. I go, wait a second. Christianity was on the continent of Africa well before it was in Europe. I'm not understanding here. And so you, you, you learn as you get a little bit more political, as you get a little older, that there is a full scale war against Christianity. And, and us young men in the west have rejected it, and we're on the comeback. This is a, this is the revival of this country's young men. And there's a reckoning coming now for the left as Kash Patel broadens out the investigation. That's what I'm saying. We went from a single murder, lone wolf, to a much broader investigation has been reported all over. And another thing he's looking at is what he calls nihilistic violent extremists, which is the subset of the transgender, the radicals, the radical and paramilitary transgenders who have gotten totally out of control violently every day. I mean, you see Charlie and what he stood for and what the people around him stood for, and what you talk about every day on your show and your podcast and in your leadership. And then you look every day we get another detail of the depravity, nihilism, and really, you know, horrible existence of their parents have let them play. They're, you know, video gamers, the locked in the rooms. And it hasn't changed from the. You saw the first taste of it with the Columbine shooters. And it just gets worse and worse and worse. And it's always the same thing. You know, they're in video games, they're in this. This guy was in weird furry pornography. It's just. It's just down to the depths because it couldn't be clearer what the Charlie Kirk's of the world stand for and the turning points stand for and the Royce White stand for versus what the evil on the other side stands for. And it's not. There's. The gap is not bridgeable. It's not. We will never. We will never conform to that. We will never sign off on that. We will never surrender to that Royce White. Yeah, well, and again, to echo what you said, I thought Erica's tone was perfect, and I Think that, you know, overnight and because of these tragic events, she's become one of America's mothers. And we're going to always look to her now for her leadership. And she's done very, very good with it and has been as graceful as you can be considering. But, you know, they called for her death, some of these radical leftists, and you didn't see a full throated denouncement unilaterally across the social media echo chambers of the left. That, that was inappropriate and over the line. It's because they don't think it's inappropriate. Their morality is completely relative. Their morality is completely relative. And for that reason, we have to understand. Erica's words about forgiveness were probably the most powerful. We can forgive our enemies and still not surrender to them. We can forgive our enemies and still fight. In fact, there is a pragmatic and practical approach where the, the, the Christian conservative right has, has for many generations been guided and led by Fox News into the salacious, where we get hyper emotional about these things, but we don't apply the strategic discipline necessary for victory. The victory cannot be to go Democrat, like, because you merge with the Satanist. The victory, the path to victory has not become Nikki Haley. It's soft on the principle. We have to hold the principle and move people towards the principal. As long as that principle is held and the tent is getting bigger in the direction of the principal, we're doing fine. Any movement back to the left is a capitulation to Satan. And the agenda that we see is very clear. It's on display. It's kind of pulled its pants down and walked around with some confidence we haven't seen in my lifetime. Well, I got about a minute. I want to hold you through the break with Erica's very powerful message of forgiveness. That, that in my mind doesn't mean we don't crush the ideology. If this guy is the. Is turns out to be the assassin, we don't. We don't not just kowtow. We have to crush the ideology that bred him, do we not? Absolutely. No. You can forgive your enemies, and there's a need for it because I have to detach from the emotion in order to achieve the victory, especially when we're playing from so far behind. I forgive them because hatred is of the heart. But I do not let them kill me. I do not let them win. I still have to fight and fight for victory. Royce White. Hang on. I'm gonna take a short commercial break. We're gonna return. We got Royce white. We got Dr. Peter Navarro, another huge event. It's been pushed, I think to 4 o'. Clock.

Birchgold.com promo code ban at the end of the dollar empire. Go check it out today. Royce White, I got a couple minutes here. I'd like to know your thoughts on where we go from here. You're at the tip of the spear and particularly in, I gotta tell you, one of the hardest communities, one of the best states. But inside Minneapolis, you got some big problems through the George Floyd situation took place. You got Omar, who I think is one of the meanest and nastiest and most offensive people in modern American politics. And Shane, shy about getting up to your grill about it. Your thoughts, sir? Well, I mean, first and foremost, we have to have a full investigation into this immigration fraud with Ilhan Omar. If it turns out to be true that she married her brother and fraud to get citizenship status, she should be pulled from Congress and probably deported for her international affiliations. Never forget when she took a trip to Kashmir in the middle of a war without any State Department oversight. So that, that set a lot, a lot of people from. Forget about that. But it still comes down to these elections. We have to secure these elections. We have to deal with the voter rolls. We have to make sure that, that, you know, in a place like Minnesota, it isn't forgotten as it is a true swing state. And I said in 2024, the referendum was on the American people. The American people answered that call. In 2026, the midterms, the referendum is going to be on the, the Republican parties in all of these, these swing states around the country. And we can win. Look, we still know it's estimated 30 to 40 million Christians aren't voting right here in Minnesota. They say there's at least roughly a million conservative Christian crossovers that didn't vote in the 2024 election. And now more than ever, I think this assassination, the attack on our Catholic school and the children there, denunciation, hopefully is calling Christians out of the church and into the fight like Charlie Kirk himself led the way and demonstrated. Royce, where do we go to get all your content? I think now more than ever people are become acquainted with your thinking and your shows where they go. Royce White us, That's the Senate campaign website. You can also see me on Real America's Voice before you, Steve, on Saturday mornings at 9am Eastern. And please, call me crazy. YouTube, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, we do the podcast, we do deep dives. We, we do a lot of different things and have a lot of great guests on the podcast. So I appreciate you, brother. Love you, man. Stay safe, stay dangerous. Same, same, same, same. Royce, you stay safe. I don't need to tell you to be dangerous. You are dangerous. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you. White running for Senate. He was a Republican nominee last time, and I think good things are going to come out of Royce White. Good man, tough man. Dr. Peter Navarro, we got a little tip. We're going to have you back at 11, spend some time with you. Give me your, give me your assessment of yesterday. Uplifting, moving. I think it was just pitch perfect in terms of the celebration. I think everybody who spoke, Steve, spoke from the heart, hit their mark. And I think I needed that. I think the country needed that, the world needed that. And it was a day of grace. Sir Peter Navarro, I've known you for a long time now, and you're a pretty hard nut, pretty tough guy. The book. We'll talk about the book in the next segment about going to prison. You're 70 some years old. You didn't flinch at all. And you were leader in the prison. Nobody's going to mess with you. Why you of all people say you, Peter Navarro, needed yesterday, Sir, Charlie was such a good friend and such an important part of what you and I and President Trump are trying to do in terms of helping this country get to a, a better place, a place where we're free. We don't wind up in prison because of our political points of view. And we live in a world where Main street prospers as well as Wall street, not a battle. And Charlie was so important to that. And to lose him in this way, I was thinking that if somebody were to ask me, like, okay, who would be the, who would you lose to? The crazies out there, the assassins and all of that, I mean, Charlie would never entered my mind because he was so full of life and intelligence. And to lose him like that to the, that thing that shot him, and that's a thing, that's a brainwashed, groomed, just lack of humanity thing. We needed to heal from that. And since he's been shot, it's been, it's hard to find one center, but I think we found it yesterday. And now for Charlie, we need to move on and fight the battle that he was so good at fighting. Steve, it's for we the living to carry on his work. We need to finish what he started. Right. Dr. Navarro is going to be with us in the 11 o' clock hour. Also, Mary Holland is going to jump in here. We're going to grab her. A huge day for kind of vaccine rationality. It's coming as a bombshell. They've already moved. I think the announcement at 4 o'. Clock. Stand by for fireworks. Big Pharma just not going to sit around and say oh this is lovely. Why didn't we think of that? We're going to take a short commercial break. Like I said. Want to thank all of our sponsors, particularly over the last week since Charlie's execution, his assassination in cold blood at Utah Valley University. They've been very accommodating as we have covered the news kind of non stop. I want to thank all of them. We're going to take a very short commercial break.

Episode 4795 | September 22, 2025
This emotionally charged episode of "War Room with Stephen K. Bannon" centers on the national reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative activist. The episode offers in-depth reflections on Kirk's life, the meaning of his legacy, and the significance of the memorial event that reportedly drew global attention. Bannon and his guests explore themes of faith, Christian nationalism, cultural revival, the crisis of masculinity among America's youth, and the ongoing political struggle in the United States. Throughout, the show positions Kirk as an exemplar of "muscular Christianity" and frames his death as a catalyst for a new chapter in faith-inspired American populism.
“Charlie was not silenced. His movement is only beginning. The voices of millions globally have been awakened, furthering his cause and mission far beyond anyone’s comprehension.” (08:17, Speaker from memorial)
“America is a Christian nation... We’re the leading country in Christendom. And yes, revival is definitely a term of it. They expected a funeral and they got a revival.” (56:59, Stephen K. Bannon)
The episode is passionate, solemn, and resolute, interspersing moments of religious fervor with political analysis and personal grief. Host and guests speak plainly, rallying their audience around themes of faith, battle, and the need to fulfill Charlie Kirk’s legacy. The tone is defiant towards critics and adversaries, while nurturing towards Kirk’s family and supporters.
