Charlie Kirk's Legacy
00:02:35

|
| Charlie was a friend of mine and it's one of those things, you know it can happen. | |
| You don't think it ever will happen, but then it did happen and America lost a legend. | |
| The body of Christ lost an ambassador to an entire generation. | |
| I called him America's youth pastor and a wife lost a husband. | |
| Two kids lost their father and many of us we lost a friend. | |
| But at the same time, I recognize that Charlie Kirk gained his eternal reward. | |
| And he heard the words that I want to hear. | |
| Well done, my good and faithful servant. | |
| And Charlie's more alive today than you and I are right here. | |
| And so we rejoice with him, but obviously mourn for his family, the Turning Point USA family. | |
| And then we have to ask the question, you know, how now shall we live in the aftermath of what just took place? | |
| Because it's awful, not just the assassination, but the response by so many fellow Americans who are celebrating his death, who are mocking his death. | |
| And so it goes to show you that our culture is in desperate need of healing and restoration. | |
| You know, people say he was full of hate speech, right? | |
| I don't think so. | |
| I think they just hated his speech because he was so good at what he did. | |
| He would allow people to express their opinions. | |
| And then he would give an argument that was in a gentle manner, but was in a convincing manner. | |
| And so Charlie would reach you in your mind, but also he'd reach you in your heart because Charlie cared about people. | |
| It wasn't the person was not the enemy. | |
| The idea might have been the enemy, but the person was not the enemy. | |
| And so that resonated with people because here was a person that I think they understood. | |
| He doesn't hate me. | |
| He actually cares about me. | |
| He's listening to me. | |
| He just disagrees with the ideas that maybe I have. | |
| That's why Charlie was taken out because he was so good at reasoning with people and talking with people and he was so effective. | |
| And that was why he was so dangerous in the sense of he was able to dismantle ideas and arguments in a way without being violent, without being mean or spiteful or anything like that. | |
| And so, no, Charlie Kirk's approach did not fail. | |
| It was extremely successful. | |
| And it's the model that we need to adopt moving forward if we're going to bring healing and restoration to the country. | |
