Do it for Charlie, everybody.

A (23:33)

I knew that Charlie was popular. I knew that he had a lot of followers and he had a huge appeal. But the people I am seeing globally, in every sector of society speaking up, it's. It's unfathomable. Morgan Wallen honored Charlie at his concert, sold it. So did Coldplay. And I think that's pretty amazing. Country concerts you kind of think are more conservative. But I thought it was cool that Coldplay did this. Here's that clip.

D (24:01)

Let's go with that in mind for the final time for a few years in London. Let's raise our hands like this and send love any way you want to send it in the world. There are so many places that might need it today. So here it comes from London.

E (24:15)

Them.

D (24:15)

You can send this to your brother or your sister. You can send it to the families of people who've been going through terrible stuff. You can send it to Charlie Kirk's family. You can send it to anybody's family. You can send it to people you disagree with, but you send them love anyway. You can send it to peaceful people in the Middle east, in Ukraine, in Russia, Azerbaijan, in Sudan, in Somalia, anywhere that you think might need love. From London. Here it comes. In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, go.

Last night there was a vigil at the Kennedy center in dc. It's huge deal. Just look at this. All these people lined up, all of these people waiting to go in. There were thousands of people was packed house inside, a thousand plus people waiting outside. Look at this picture, we'll put it up of all these people in the Kennedy center worshiping, honoring Charlie, sharing his Christian faith and then watch this happening at the Kennedy Center. SOT2 so beautiful. Also thought that this posted by Andrew Colvette was really cool. This pilot they like I guess created, he flew in a way that created a cross and a C and a K just to honor Charlie's out 3.

F (25:45)

Pilot paid his own tribute to Kirk. This morning around 6:30am a flight tracking.

A (25:50)

Software shows the pilot flew in this.

F (25:52)

Pattern near Phoenix, creating a cross with a C and a K. They landed.

A (25:57)

About an hour after taking off. That's just incredible. It's been amazing to see how much worship this has inspired. Evil too, but so much goodness and so much light.

The number of people who have reached out to me just because I was his friend and because I say the same things that Charlie did has been incredibly humbling. People I haven't talked to in years. People I had no idea were remotely political, telling me that they feel like it's. It's like they lost a family member. I mean, they've offered prayers and encouragement and support. And I just want to say, because I know a lot of you are worried about me. You're worried about my safety. And to that, I just ask you to pray for us. Chief Relay to BRO And I are not stupid. We are not naive at all. We are extremely cautious at all times. But I also want you to take heart that God is taking care of me and taking care of us through his people. I had someone reach out to me last week that I had not talked to in 15 years. And he offered security for us this weekend as we traveled for a speaking engagement to Nevada. It was a Pro Life gala. I was scared to go, but my husband and this guy stepped up, and they ensured that we were totally and completely covered. Even more than usual. You always have security, but even more than usual, every step of the way. And because of that, I was able to give everyone at that banquet the courage they needed. And I will share some of what I told them on Wednesday. Wednesday's episode is going to be super, super important. Our theology episode, that the people in the audience on Friday, they were affected by the death of this person they didn't know. I mean, we all felt it. It was thick in the room, like it was very somber. They applauded and cheered as soon as I said Charlie's name. The sadness in that room, the need for courage, for hope, was just palpable. You could have heard a pin drop for the entire 45 minutes of my speech. And it's not because of me. I just could feel the Holy Spirit who wanted these people to hear words of courage. So God is working again. He's bringing his people together. He is working in and through us. And I'm just. I'm so. I'm so grateful. I'm so grateful for that. There are so many tributes to Charlie, so many people sharing videos of him sharing the gospel. There's so many. But I loved this one. Stop.

B (29:35)

For your relationship with Christ is real and truer when you understand the stakes of the damnation that you were saved from. So what is the right message? Is it Jesus loves you or is that God condemns you? It should be that you need. Jesus needs to be the 1, 2 combo.

A (29:52)

There's so much more in that clip that I didn't have time to play where he explains just the fullness of the gospel and what God is saving us from and to in Christ. Turning Point has seen an unbelievable surge in in numbers. They have received over 32,000 chapter requests since Charlie's death. 32,000 individuals from thousands of high schools and colleges have reached out to start a Turning Point chapter. I saw this left wing outlet that said that Charlie Kirk's not going to become a martyr because people are going to forget about it. And while it's true that we're not all going to be crying the same amount in a couple weeks, besides, of course, his family and those who knew him very, very well, this misunderstands martyrdom and it misunderstands momentum. Every avalanche has a trigger. A skier wind, a sudden shift in temperature. But after it starts, it's no longer the trigger that keeps it going. It's everything else. The snow, the slope, the perfect storm of factors that make an avalanche unstoppable. The trigger for the avalanche this time was Charlie's assassination. But even after we've shed all of our tears, the momentum will continue to accelerate. And I think Erica Kirk, Charlie's wife, made that really clear. She gave a very brave, very moving speech on Turning Point's YouTube channel. And she clarified that Turning Point is not going anywhere. It's going to be bigger and better than ever. Here's top five.

F (31:32)

Charlie. I promise I will never let your legacy die, baby. I won't. I promise I'll make Turning Point USA the biggest thing that this nation has ever seen. I promise.

A (31:47)

Charlie, I love you.

F (31:50)

I love you, baby. Rest in the arms of our Lord as he blankets you with the words I know your heart always strives to hear. Well done, my good and faithful servant.

A (32:07)

Ma'. Am. Now, if you're progressive, you might scoff at that, but if you're smart, you might be a bit worried. And honestly, you should be. You should be. Someone from your side. Yes, every shred of evidence we have that is the case killed the most admired and best liked and most congenial and peaceable agreeable person on the right, the person leading the way and trying to turn down the temperature with discussion and debate. He was murdered for that. I mean, Charlie was in so many ways the force that held back some of the worst people. Like, he was a gatekeeper in so many ways. And now you've got people who are having a different kind of discussion. They're having a different kind of suggestion for how we, how we move forward. Stephen Miller is very good friends with Charlie Kirk. I think Stephen Miller is like the best at things like this, at just communicating the toughness that is necessary for perilous moments like this and this. I'm not including him in extreme voices. I. I'm just letting you know that there is a conversation now that is very different than the one that was happening a week ago publicly. Here's six.

C (33:28)

The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was the last message that he sent me before that assassin stole him from all of us. And we are going to do that under President Trump's leadership. I don't care how. It could be a RICO charge, a conspiracy charge, conspiracy against the United States insurrection, but we are going to do what it takes to dismantle the organizations and the entities that are fomenting riots, that are doxing, that are trying to inspire terrorism and that are committing acts of wanton violence. It has to stop. And my message is to all of the domestic terrorists in this country spreading this evil hate. You want us to live in fear? We will not live in fear. But you will live in exile.

A (34:28)

That's absolutely right. As they should. I'm just letting you know where we are, that these hotbeds of radicalization, Reddit, discord, Tumblr, like they're going to be under intense scrutiny. Michael Knowles had a great post about the tightening guardrails of the marketplace of ideas. Because in order to have liberty, you have to have order, you have to have rules. I agree with Michael. I don't know exactly what that looks like. That'll be up to policy wonks that are more learned on this than I am. But I agree with that. Obviously, something has gone off rails here. And it'd be one thing if it was just a guy, if it was just one person, but I mean, just a couple days after Charlie Kirk was murdered, we have a Democratic congresswoman who is slandering him, calling him a racist. Here's 7. Charlie was someone who was willing to debate and downplay the death of George Floyd in the hands of Minneapolis police. I think he called him a scumbag. Right. Have no regard downplay slavery and what black people have gone through in, in this country. What, like, what are you even saying? She goes on to call him all kinds of is and phobes and names and all of that, really, after a young wife was widowed, after two kids are now going to grow up fatherless. Because someone who follows your Same ideology, shot him, killed him. Really. I mean, that is radical. I think people like her should be kept far, as far away from power and influence as possible. I think people like that are dangerous, wicked people. And it's not because they disagree with me. There's a lot of people who disagree, but because they celebrate. And you could say she's not celebrating there, but that is, I think, equivalent to excusing what happened to him. And you can't say, oh, I'm against violence, but let me lodge against them the worst possible insults to foment the same kind of hate that motivated his death. Not every Democrat has responded this way. I just want to say that there have been some really strong statements. I thought Bernie Sanders put out a really strong statement. Better than a lot of pastors I saw, better than a lot of professing Christians. Bernie Sanders is an atheist, okay? He's a progressive. He had a strong statement. I appreciated that. Gavin Newsom. It's hard for me to say, but he had a pretty strong statement. It doesn't mean I think that they're good people, but I respect their ability to put out strong condemnations of violence and extends sympathy to a family. A conservative on X is making an ongoing list of people who have unapologetically celebrated publicly Charlie Kirk's death. She has first names, last names, where they work. I mean, they put this publicly out there, okay? So it's out there. And they put their name on, celebrating on tick tock, on social media, the death of this person and saying he deserved it. We're not just talking about people who disagreed with him, okay? Most of these people on this list, teachers, professors, therapists and nurses. Yikes. There's a whole analysis that we could give of that, but a lot of these people are now posting that they lost their jobs. I say good, it's 100% the right move. It's a character thing. Like, if you are my employee, you're representing me, you're representing my business, you're representing my hospital, and you have now hurt my reputation. You have brought me into disrepute. And plus, I don't think that if you have that character that you should be around vulnerable people, that you should be around children. Like it is a liability in so many ways. And so it's not about cancel culture. It's about saying you have proven that you do not have the character and ability to carry out this job, so you can't do it anymore. And there have been, for example, Clemson University, who have given very weak statements, have not fired the people that they should fire. And we should raise a respectful ruckus for that. And we should put respectful and peaceful pressure on those institutions to do the right thing. It should be socially unacceptable to celebrate the assassination of someone, of anyone but someone, just because you disagreed with him, because he said true things that hurt your feelings. You're going to celebrate a father of two being murdered publicly? No, no. There have to be social consequences for that, period. And you see some of these videos and these horrid reactions and you think, okay, like this is what I was saying yesterday. I was like, I understand the flood now. I get it. Like Noah's ark, that whole thing that people are like, oh, how could God do that? Can't you kind of see it? Like, the depth of human depravity is jaw dropping. And how merciful is God actually to have wiped wicked people off the planet and then preserve Noah and his family and all of those animals? That was really kind of God. It was a lie. By the way. When you heard from the Biden administration that violence in this country is mostly because of white supremacists, like, it's, it's laughable. Is laughable. Like, if that were the case, don't you think you'd hear about it? Don't you think you'd hear about it? Whether it is the assault on pregnancy centers that happened after the Dobbs decision, whether it is the baseball field shooting of Steve Scalise, who shot and tried and almost killed Steve Scalise because of this left wing radical's beliefs about health care and what he thought about Republicans. The Covenant Christian School shooting, Annunciation Catholic Church shooting in Minnesota, Trump's attempted assassination. Now the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Like, I could go on and on. None by white supremacists, none by right wingers. In fact, a lot of these were by people who identified as transgender or in the case of Charlie's murder, was living with this romantic partner who called themselves trans. Which, by the way, is confirmed. It is confirmed. It was confirmed by Governor Spencer Cox of Utah via the FBI. So let's place that 8.

B (40:22)

His roommate was indeed a boyfriend who is transitioning from, from male to female. That's, that's information that the FBI had, had mentioned yesterday. We can confirm that as well. And that, that, that he is cooperating with, with authorities as well.

A (40:41)

Okay, so let me just pause for a second. I just need to pause from going off on my rant and just talk about who this person was. I'm not going to put up a picture I'm not going to say this person's name, but I want to dispel rumors here that this murderer was a Trump loving conservative. By the way, if he was a Trump loving conservative, I would have no problem condemning him, no problem condemning this violence just as fiercely as I am now knowing that he is a left wing radical. The fact of the matter is he wasn't a conservative. He was raised by Republicans. Apparently not hard to believe considering the father did the noble thing of turning him in after seeing these pictures of the suspect. But according to the Guardian, according to cnn, according to the New York Times, he has no voting history. He said that Charlie Kirk was quote, full of hate and spreading hate. He was critical of Trump. He was linked, this is now documented, to far left antifa online communities on discord and Reddit. On his bulletin cases were things like hey Fascist Catch and Bella chow, which are both mottos of anti fascist groups online. Utah Governor Spencer Cox acknowledged that in the investigation they have found that he was deeply indoctrinated with left wing ideology. And no doubt living with someone who is transitioning, who has the wrong hormones being pumped into their body played a part in this. Like Charlie was shot right as he was answering a question about trans violence. It's crazy. I and I just want to pause for a second and remind you that every time you use someone's preferred pronouns that don't match their biology, you are affirming and accelerating the gender ideology that is responsible for this violent and murderous insanity. The social affirmation which leads to cross sex hormones and puberty blockers and surgeries are psychosis inducing and demonic and leading to violence among this population. These are not one offs. This is inherent in transgender activism and ideology. And because this is what Charlie was talking about when he was shot in the throat, pray for me. The truth matters. Two plus two equals four. A man can never become a woman. You can't be born in the wrong body. It's not possible to identify as anything other than what you biologically are. I will not live a lie. I will not move on this even 1 centimeter, because that is just as much a biblical reality as it is a biological one. And I am not nicer than God. I'm not wiser than him. I'm not more compassionate than him. So if he said it, I agree with it. And if you are too scared to say that clearly and publicly, then it's not politics you're ashamed of. It is God himself. The Bible makes this abundantly clear. We are made in God's image. End of story. You know, when people say that Charlie wasn't a martyr, he was just maga, he just supported Donald Trump. That's not the same thing as dying for your Christian faith. Charlie shared the gospel everywhere he went. I talked to his innermost circle this week who said he had been studying the Bible so fervently, especially for the past six months, to get ready for this college tour, because that's what he wanted to do. He wanted to be a better evangelist. He wanted to be a better apologist. He always told people about Jesus's love everywhere he went. Here's sod 18.

B (44:08)

Thank you guys for a respectful conversation, even though we see things very differently. And if you're. If you're engaged in the creation of that content, I think God has a better plan for you. I know that might sound preachy and not what you want to hear, but maybe you'll have an encounter with God. And Jesus loves all of you, and he can transform your life. He transformed my life. And every day is a new day. And it's a hopeful, beautiful life ahead of you. And God loves every single one of us. We're all sinners. And Jesus died.

A (44:31)

I mean, you've definitely been the most.

F (44:33)

Respectful one that I've seen.

B (44:34)

Well, thank you. That's very, very kind. And I can tell you, it's not me. If it was me, I'd be yelling and screaming, it's the Holy Spirit. It really is. I know it might sound silly, it might sound cliche, but Jesus has gone to work on my life. And so God bless you guys. Thank you for a great.

A (44:48)

Charlie.

B (44:49)

Thank you for coming.

A (44:50)

Okay, that's to a bunch of adult film only fans, people. And that's just who Charlie was. I mean, how many of us, how many of his critics out there would have been that bold and that loving and that gent. Okay, let me pause before I respond to some of the nonsense out there and tell you about our next sponsor. I love this sponsor so much, y'. All. I love we Heart nutrition. Okay, so I had blood work done a few weeks ago, and I finally got the results back. Totally comprehensive with my functional doctor and everything. Except for my thyroid, which I already knew was, like, amazing. And I'm so thankful for that because that has not always been the case. Like, there are a couple things that I need to tweak. Um, but, like, she was. The doctor was so impressed. In fact, she said something which is so not true. She was like, you must never eat sugar. Mmm. I wish I could Say that's true. That's not true at all. But I credit We Heart Nutrition. And I texted Kristen, who's the co owner of We Heart Nutrition with her husband Jacob, and just said, like, my results for my blood test were so good and I'm just so thankful. I take their postnatals and about to switch to their women's multivitamin, though. I take their iron, I take their Omega 3s, I take their magnesium, and it all just helps with so much. Another unapologetically Christian pro life company. They donate a percentage of all of their sales to pregnancy centers and it has resulted in saving so many lives. They are the real deal. I love their products. Go to wehardnutrition.com use code ALI. You'll get 20% off your order when you do. That's weheartnutrition.com code ALLY. Okay. Okay. Sharon says. So I'm, you know, I've avoided talking about Sharon says so for a while. She's a. She's a progressive. I've known that for a long time. Okay? And it's very obvious in how she talks, what she says, what she doesn't say. And I know exactly this is what she does. She says something and then when she gets criticism for it, she says that she is then getting, like, threats. And so that shuts down the rest of her criticism. First of all, no one should get threats, ever. Do not send a disrespectful or a mean message or comment to anyone. Never threaten. Don't ever do that. Like, use your brain, use your logic, use grace to speak the truth unflinchingly. Don't ever be disrespectful or rude or threatening in any way. But that is also not a reason to shut down fair criticism. Okay. Sharon says. So she decided just two days after Charlie Kirk was murdered that she was going to list all of his most controversial quotes without context to clearly make the point that Charlie was a racist and to try to justify people who are like, oh, I can't honor Charlie Kirk because he was a racist. And he said all of these things. And so she went through all these things that he apparently said, okay, so she's got this pose. It says Charlie Kirk in his own words. And then it's. I've seen many comments to the effect of, Charlie was so kind to everyone. All he did was preach the gospel. But then she said, but if you're black or LGBTQ or Muslim, Charlie Kirk was not a person who engaged in good faith. Here are some of his direct Quotes which I took the time to watch or read in full so as to understand them in context. Okay? Sharon says so. She says so. So you don't need to watch them or understand them in context. She did it for you. Just trust Sharon says so. She said so. She quotes him, if I see a black pilot, I'm going to be like, boy, I hope he's qualified. She says this casts suspicion on all black professionals. She quotes him saying, if I'm dealing with somebody in customer service who's a moronic black woman, I wonder, is she there because of her excellence or is she there because of affirmative action? She, she also quotes him saying Islam is not compatible with Western civilization. Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America. Okay, so these are the kinds of quotes that she uses to say that Charlie Kirk is a mean bad racist and that that is why people cannot just honor him in death or just give condolences. Just give condolences to the family. Like that is also an option. Okay, so Julie Borowski, she took the time on X to put all of these quotes in context. And I just want to. I'm not going to read them all in full to you. I will link this Twitter thread in the description of this episode, but I will do the best I can. Like I will read as much context as possible. And you know what, don't take it from me because this, this is not called Ali says. So as I always say, don't take it from me. Like listen to me, I hope that I'm a springboard for you, but go, go watch all of his shows. Go listen to all of his stuff. You can deduce what you want to deduce. But she did not give the context that is necessary. And this is so disappointed, disgusting and dishonorable to a man who was just assassinated for saying what is true. So a lot of people also have quoted second amendment thing where he said, I think it's worth to have a cost of unfortunately some gun deaths. And I just want to point this out, I don't think Sharon says so said this, but he said some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our God given rights. So he actually says this is in full context. He says the second amendment is not about hunting. I love hunting. The second amendment is not about personal defense. It is about so you can defend yourself against a tyrannical government. If you think that that's radical, then read any of the literature of our founding fathers and the 20th century. Now, we must also be real. We must be honest with the population. Having an armed citizenry comes with a price. And that is part of liberty. Liberty driving comes with a price. 50,000 people die on the road every year. That is a price. If you get rid of driving, you would have 50,000 fewer auto fatalities. But we as a society have decided that the benefit of driving, speed, accessibility, mobility, is worth the cost of having 50,000 people dying on the road. And so then he goes on to, how do we reduce, how do we stop school shootings? How do we stop shootings at base baseball games? Because we have armed guards outside of baseball games. That's why. How did we stop all the shootings at airports? We have armed guards outside the airports. So he goes on to give solutions. He's not saying that he wants children to die. He's not saying that he wants people to be shot. He is saying everything comes with a cost. Every bit of liberty comes with a risk and comes with the cost. And I just want to say, by the way, and this again is outside of. Sharon says so. But if you are calling him, he can't all. He can't be a fascist and a second Amendment advocate, okay? Because fascists advocate for disarming the populace and making sure only the government has guns. He is literally saying the opposite, okay? So think just a little bit. People are also pointing out this empathy quotes where he said, I can't stand the word empathy. I'm not even going to get into that right now. He says we should use sympathy. And you know how I feel about that term. He okay, this black pilot, he said, if I see a black pilot, I'm going to be like, boy, I hope he's qualified. I'm sorry, you know, he says, I'm sorry, Andrew Colvette says, but you wouldn't have said that before. And Charlie Kirk says, that's not. And that's not who I am. That's not what I believe. It creates his unhealthy thinking pattern. He's talking about DEI and affirmative action. He says, I don't want to think that way and no one should. Right? And he said to Megyn Kelly, I was trying to be very vulnerable with the audience, that DEI invites this very unwholesome thinking. He says in the clip, that's not who I am. That's not what I believe. But DEI makes us the worst versions of ourselves. The point of what I'm trying to say is that now I look at everything through a hyper racialized diversity quota lens because of Their massive insistence to try to hit those ridiculous racial hiring quotas. Of course I believe anybody of any skin color can become a qualified pilot. And of course that is true. Of course that is true. When you have something like United Airlines saying we have to have 50, 50% of all of our pilots be people of color and women. And you know that at best, you've got 20% in all pilot schools that are women and people of color, you're kind of like, okay, the math is not. The math is not mathing. Now, when he talks about moronic black women, I'm sure he's also talked about moronic white women. Maybe you don't like that tone, maybe you don't like what he said. But he's not saying all black people are dumb. He was never like that. He was not a racist. He loved all people. But he was against affirmative action. He was against anything that was not merit based. And some people, regardless of their skin color, are moronic. Like when he was talking about Joy Reid and Kamala Harris. Like, they have said some very moronic, depraved things. Like, he didn't say they're not made in the image of God and they shouldn't have rights, but he's saying they probably shouldn't be where they are because they didn't actually earn it. When he talks about Islam not being compatible on the whole with Western civilization, I mean, spot the lie. The greatest terrorist attack on our nation was perpetrated by Islamists. There are peaceful individual Muslims. He would say that all the time. But Islam inherently is violent based. It is jihad based. That. That is its entire history. The American system was based originally on Christianity. The first major war America waged was against Muslims, the first Barbary War. Those Americans understood the future of Western civilization. They understood that it depended upon protecting their people from Islam. That's not radical. That is not a radical belief that has been known for a very long time. And, you know, whether or not you agree with what he said, whether or not you think he had the right tone or the nice words, whatever. Picking apart and decontextualizing everything that someone said that you find offensive two days after they die is disgusting. It is an invitation for Charlie's dissenters to justify their callousness towards his assassination. And I would never do that. I would never do that to Sharon says so I would never do that to my political enemies, Period. Here's what I said when Ruth Bader Ginsburg was in the hospital in 2018. I said, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is Relentless, serious respect for her toughness and praying for her recovery. So not difficult that even the person that all of these people think is so evil and so callous, like he gave a better and more respectful response to Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death than they did toward Charlie Kirk. And I promise you, they were just as much as enemies as you are, as liberals are with Charlie Kirk. Here's Sat nine.

E (55:41)

She just died. Wow. I didn't know that. I just. You're telling me now for the first time. She led an amazing life. What else can you say? She was an amazing woman. Whether you agreed or not, she was an amazing woman who led an amazing life. Actually saddened to hear that. I am sad to hear that. Thank you very much.

A (56:11)

I promise you, I disagree with RBG just as fiercely as progressive. Disagree with Charlie Kirk. I think her ideas were deeply harmful, caused violence and death against babies in the womb. Absolutely reprehensible. But she's a person. She was made in God's image. She lived a remarkable life, and she left behind people who loved her. Like, it is so not hard. It is so not hard to be a decent person. When someone passes, you've got inside thoughts. You keep them inside. But unfortunately, some people just cannot muster that strength. Even people who call themselves Christians. Emmanuel Oko. He hosted that uncomfortable conversations with a black man. I think he perpetuated all kinds of insanity, especially during 2020. Well, he has something to say a couple days after Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

G (57:01)

SA10 refer to Asian individuals by the C word, a word too violent for me to even utter. Refer to Michelle Obama and Ketanji Brown Jackson of the Supreme Court, both Harvard graduates. Is not having the brain processing power to be taken seriously. Suggested that if seeing a black pilot would assume they were a DEI Higher. To my white brothers and sisters, I'm genuinely asking, how would you like your minority friends to respond to the celebration of his life? Not to his death, but to the celebration of his life.

Okay, can I just correct something for a second? So he plays this. This video of Charlie Kirk saying, I. I can't even say it because I'm like, now someone's gonna, like, clip this out and they're gonna say, me saying it. He is saying someone's name. That is someone's name that he is talking to in the audience. He is not saying a derogatory term for Chinese people. My gosh, that is so evil. He is talking to Chink Unger. Okay. I think that's how you pronounce his last name. He is A left wing guy from the Young Turks who has actually had like a pretty decent response to Charlie Kirk but that he is saying someone's name that is so evil. Before I give my response to Emmanuel, let me go ahead and tell you about our next sponsor. It's Good Ranchers. We love Good Ranchers. In our home they had Corly and Ben who own Good Ranchers. They had such an incredible tribute to Charlie. They're the real deal. I mean they are down to earth. They were like holding back their tears. They are really faithful to these shows that have been with them for a long time and that means a lot to me as a person. But they're strong Christians. They are such. They are so true to their faith and that is infused into Good Ranchers. Every product they sell, everything they create. And that's why I'm just so thankful to work with them.

That's good ranchers.com code Ali Emmanuel Akko. Okay, you have no place to talk about what Christians should or shouldn't say. Not right now. Nope. You have propelled the lies of white supremacy and white privilege. You have talked about the murder of the babies in the womb like it's some nuanced, complicated issue. Refusing to stand up for babies. Right. Not to be murdered. Those are, those are image bearers of God. And I just, I want you to ask yourself, I want you to ask yourself before you go after a man days after he was assassinated, have you lived above reproach? Have you lived in sexual purity? Have you handled your money correctly? I don't know. Can you honestly say that you live in a way and private and in public that people after you die would say is above reproach? Those are honest questions. I don't know the answer to them. But I'm just saying, do you want your sins, real or perceived, to be aired out on social media? I someone who thinks that what you have propagated over the past few years actually is dangerous because it affects policy that damages society. I would never do that to you. Charlie would have never done that to you. We went back and forth on Instagram after I said something about this video. And you know what? I. Christ can give him the grace that he needs, but I was not about to do a Kumbaya. I'm just not like, you don't need forgiveness from me on that, but I'm not going to back down on that. That was awful. That was awful. It was an awful thing to do, especially at this time. Ben Watson is a pro life activist. I'm grateful for that. He's done a lot of good work in that realm. Very grateful. But he's gotten into a lot of arguments with conservatives, including me, over things like race and social justice. We don't see eye to eye on quite a few things, and I don't like how he has talked about many of those things. So I was not at all surprised by his statement. Many of you were, though, which is why you sent it to me. You asked me to respond. So it's a long statement. And again, I'll put all of it up. You can read it. I can't read it all, but you can go on there. Zero desire to decontextualize anything he has to say. So again, you can read the whole thing there. He said, since hearing the murder of Charlie Kirk and seeing such unjustifiable, graphic violence, my heart has been torn in my spirit, uneasy. He said he wasn't a fan or follower of Charlie. He was aware of his influence. He said that he respects his humanity and right to dialogue. But he says, my critique of his words and opinions was pointed. I found Charlie's verbal attacks on black men, women and their achievement reprehensible and utterly inexcusable. His derogatory words were a form of violence and dehumanization. He routinely amplified stereotypes and platformed prejudice, giving license to masses with similar sentiments. He did this while routinely proclaiming the name of Jesus. He said that he's wrestling with this. Charlie's record is reminiscent of an American Christianity that proclaimed freedom and hope in Christ while clamping fetters of iron law and tradition and practice on black Americans. Okay, so akin to people who own slaves. It is what abolitionist Frederick Douglass described when he lamented the distinction between Christianity of Christ and the Christianity of the land. Now, he says, empathy compels me to understand the emotional outpouring of the millions who identified with his conviction. Solomon as a son, brother, leader and friend I mourn with him. Yet a faithful, honest recollection of his work cannot deny his errors and their harmful impact, not only on fellow image bearers and their families, including my own, but to the truth of the gospel. He said, it's no reason to celebrate. It's an evil act. Charlie was an image bearer. I believe that he believes all of these things, and obviously he said some things that are true. But let me just be honest. I find this statement absolutely vile, cruel, callous, dehumanizing. Behind all of that nuance, there is such, truly, I believe, an ugliness here that is really wicked. Number one, Charlie's words were violence. He says, like, I want to address that. First of all, I was gobsmacked when I saw that. Let us take that, that statement to its logical conclusion. If words are literally violence, are forms of violence, then killing someone for what they say is self defense. And like, I just want you to know that this line of thinking is exactly what got Charlie Kirk killed. That is very likely exactly what the person who murdered Charlie believed. That Charlie's belief in, for example, the existence of male and female was so radical that it amounted to violence. I see this all over from transgender activists. That people deny the ability to transition genders is the same as saying that trans people should all be murdered. So they're fighting back. Ben is like them, whether he realizes it or not. Saying words are violence. But this time it's Charlie's words about race and dei. Words are not violence. Violence is violence. If words and opinions our violence, Ben, then you are laying the groundwork for justifying an out and out civil war, something I know you and I both don't want. You have just added to the foundational justification for Charlie Kirk's assassination by saying that his words are violence. You could have said you didn't like his words. You could have said that you disagreed. I still don't think it's a good time to do that. But instead you said that his words were violent. Shame on you. Number two, Charlie was not hateful. He was not prejudiced, not even a little bit. If you listen to him as a whole, if you listen to him in context, you will see that he had no animus toward any individuals. But he did have a problem with how our system works when it comes to race. And that is a belief that millions and millions of completely non hateful Americans hold. You cited nothing, Ben. You gave no context. You lodged these insults at a dead man for his widow and his children to read one day. Number three, even if all of that were true, what Ben said. It is not the time you have. You are allowed to have those thoughts, but to add them to commentary two days after a husband and father and brother in Christ dies. Why? Number four. This is really important for us to remember. Really important for all of us to remember. Okay? You are not perfect. Okay, Ben, you have said your fair share of things that people may find rude, offensive and untrue. Ben, if, God forbid, you are giving a speech eloquently defending the dignity of unborn life like I've seen you do, and some left wing, degenerate, evil, demonic person attacks you, leaving your wife widowed and your children without their daddy, how would you like people to remember you? What kind of posts would you want your wife and your children to see one day? I know exactly what I would say about you. I would unequivocally condemn your murder. I would pray fervently for your family. I would point to all the wonderful, true things that you've said about life and the gospel. I would think about what a huge loss is being felt by the people who love you. And I would do what I could to honor you and honor them. What I would not do, Ben, is bring up all of the times we've disagreed. I would not bring up the time that you made fun of a fellow Christian and pro lifer, Virgil Walker, because you didn't like something he said about Charlie dates. I wouldn't bring up the time you told me that I am idolatrous because I call Barack Obama evil for celebrating Roe v. Wade. Let me remind you that you have been in bad form many times on social media over the past five years. You have said things that are not becoming for a Christian. Your support of certain ideas and justice policies, I believe are actually very damaging for society. Yet if you died, I would say nothing about any of those things. Why? Because as wrong as I think you are, as much as I think you have lacked in some way self control in online debates, you are a person, presumably a brother in Christ. And you have a wife who adores you and children who admire you and people who love you. And they don't need to see accusations against your character right after you die because it helps nothing. And you know what? You know what? I know for sure Charlie would have done the same. He would have honored you if it had happened to you. Charlie would have come to your complete defense, defended your honor, reached out to your family to see what he could do. He would have highlighted that you and him shared the passion for the Dignity of the unborn. He would have kept no account of your wrongs, nor held them against you, but that's because Charlie was a really kind person and he was filled with the holy Spirit. And Ben, I don't know if you realize how much Charlie actually did for the unborn. I'm in a group text with Charlie and all these other pro lifers, and during the election and during the first days of the administration, like, we would add advocate to Charlie, we'd be like, please tell Trump this. Make sure that this person is there in front of them. Make sure he knows this position on life. And y', all, that was, that was one of Charlie's top priorities, to push and push and push the campaign and the administration toward life. Now, he was only one person, and Trump has a mind of his own, and so he did everything that he could to champion the cause of the unborn to this administration. So even if you took issue with the other things that he said, like, can we not just take a moment, I mean, maybe a week to show him the dignity and the respect that he deserves as a brother of Christ and a fellow pro lifer, man, I was so. I wasn't surprised, but, man, I was so disappointed in that. I know maybe some of you thought that it was fine. I mean, I thought that it was absolutely vile timing. Horrible, horrible. Just very calloused. In my opinion. It's an option not to say anything. I think that we should all be saying something. But, you know, some people who didn't have an opinion on it or maybe had a negative opinion, they just didn't say anything. More respect. But, man, to call someone without citation, without evidence, a racist, days after his poor wife buried him, after his three year old asked her mom, where's daddy? And the mom has to say, on a work trip with Jesus. Days after that, call a man a racist, that's not nuanced, that's just mean. And I'm, I'm not okay with it. There's so many videos I could play of people, black, white, immigrant, non immigrant, all different kinds of people saying, this is what Charlie did for me. This is what he said to me. This is how he loved me. This is how he supported me. Charlie was my good friend. All these things from people who look all different kinds of ways, Messages Charlie sent, opportunities he gave them. Charlie did not care about the color of someone's skin. And actually, actually he fought really hard against some people on the fringes who believe that there is some DNA inherent difference between black and white people. Like he. There are some radicals, crazy people who believe that. And Charlie fought against that because he believes so strongly that all people are made in God's image, but everyone should have to work the same amount for the opportunities that they get. That's what Charlie believed. Erica said in her speech that his favorite word was earn. And I think that's behind everything he said. He just wanted people to earn what they have. And isn't that a good word for all of us? Okay, I've got one more ad, and then I'll just play you this tribute that I found touching from actually the New York Times to close out. Last sponsor for the day is Hillsdale. There are very few universities that are carrying on this legacy that not only Charlie carried on, but the founders carried on, of critical thinking, of civil debate, of really understanding the Constitution and our founding and how Christianity was interwoven into that. And Hillsdale is one of them. And you don't actually have to enroll as a student in Hillsdale and go to their campus to learn from them. They've got all of these incredible free online courses about the works of C.S. lewis, the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, the rise and fall of the Roman Republic, like, all just amazing stuff that you can enroll in, absolutely for free. If you just go to Hillsdale. Edu Relatable. You can enroll. You can enroll in any of these classes. No cost, easy to get started. Hillsdale Edu Relatable. Great place to start for you. Great place to start for your family to learn more about what this country is really about. Hillsdale Edu Relatable. All right, let's go ahead and close out with saw11.

He actually played a big role in how I thought about politics and how I put politics and God together. One day I was scrolling on TikTok. It was probably like 2020, and I found him, and I really just loved what he was saying.

I think her finding him helped her develop that sense of confidence. This will affect.

F (73:03)

I wanted to come put, like, balloons or flowers, pay my respects.
