| 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 uh 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's 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? | |
| Uh, 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 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 it 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 uh 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 gonna bring healing and restoration to the country. |
