| So, Dennis, we're sitting here today on the day of the memorial of Charlie Kirk. | |
| I came here because I wanted to sit with you, knowing that it is very likely that if you could, you would have been on that stage speaking in memory of Charlie. | |
| But sadly you couldn't. | |
| And so the world still wants to hear what you have to say, and maybe what you would have said if you were on stage. | |
| Well, I think you're right. | |
| I think I would have been invited, Erica knew of uh our friendship, and how much I had touched Charlie's life, as I mentioned earlier. | |
| He claimed to have listened to more of my talks and choruses than probably anyone else, and he might be right. | |
| And he's dedicated his last book to me, and I was very moved by that. | |
| I did record something for them, but it was without video, and I'm not even sure she ever got to hear it, and in it I commented on something I mentioned to you at the beginning. | |
| When my friend from high school, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin told me, and he's officiated it. | |
| I'm sure at least a hundred funerals. | |
| What he does is he speaks to the friends and the widow or widower and the children. | |
| And he was particularly moved when he would meet the children of the person who died. | |
| And they would each tell him that they believed that they were the most loved of the children. | |
| And that's what Charlie's friends think. | |
| We were all the closest friend that he had. | |
| And you heard at the memorial that that's what people felt. | |
| That's what Charlie was able to achieve, which is a very great accomplishment. | |
| Anyway, I would have spoken about his courage, but not just courage. | |
| His knowledge. | |
| I mean I would watch him respond to all these students who threw everything they had at him. | |
| And his his responses were so excellent and so knowledge-based. | |
| I couldn't get over how much he knew and how much he retained. | |
| Anyway, it was it was all very remarkable. | |
| Pretty amazing to see almost the entire cabinet, the vice president, the president, all gathered in one place, right? | |
| What is most remarkable is even I, and I'm not sure Charlie knew how big his impact was. | |
| There's a saying among the uh timber workers in Oregon, you never know the height of a tree until it falls. | |
| the case with Charlie. | |
| Thank you for sharing. | |
| Thank you for your wisdom. | |
| I'll share with you that I have received hundreds and hundreds of text messages saying that you should have been on that stage and you would have been if you could have. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And uh I'm glad I got to sit with you here today. | |
| Being with you today was really uh a great honor, and I know that many, many people wanted to hear from you, so it's a great pleasure to be here. |
