Dr. Ben Carson Honors Charlie Kirk's Legacy and Calls America to Revival and Courage

[00:00] Thank you. It's wonderful to see so many

[00:02] people out here for such a sad but also

[00:05] a wonderful purpose. You know, we at the

[00:09] American Cornerstone Institute grieve

[00:11] with everyone as we think about the loss

[00:14] of our friend and partner Charlie Kirk.

[00:18] But did you hear a political figure last

[00:21] week saying that Charlie Kirk was

[00:25] ignorant because he didn't have a

[00:27] college degree? I've seen him run

[00:30] circles around people with college

[00:32] degrees.

[00:34] You know, I wonder

[00:40] I wonder if that political figure

[00:42] realizes that most of learning and life

[00:46] comes outside of the classroom.

[00:49] And I am delighted to see the young

[00:52] people of our land

[00:55] merging with the older people like me

[00:58] and moving in the same direction and

[01:00] understanding that our nation was

[01:02] founded upon the kind of principles that

[01:05] allowed us to rise from nothing to the

[01:08] pinnacle of the world in record time.

[01:11] That was no accident. That was because

[01:13] of what we believed, including our

[01:15] Judeo-Christian beliefs, that our rights

[01:19] come from our creator and not from

[01:21] government.

[01:30] Now, for many decades, there have been

[01:33] people who are trying to fundamentally

[01:35] change who we are. And there was a man

[01:39] by the name of Cleon Scalson who wrote a

[01:44] book called The Naked Communists in the

[01:48] 50s.

[01:50] And he exposed the things that were

[01:52] being done by the Marxists to gain

[01:55] control of our country. such things as

[01:58] gaining control of the public education

[02:01] system and the teacher unions so that

[02:04] you could infiltrate and indoctrinate

[02:07] our young people. It was

[02:11] a a radical leftist

[02:14] who said give me your children to teach

[02:17] for four years and the seed that I sow

[02:21] will never be uprooted. That's why

[02:23] that's what's going on. They also had a

[02:26] goal of gaining control of the media and

[02:29] Hollywood so they could change the

[02:31] culture in America, making sexual

[02:34] perversion normal, natural, and healthy.

[02:37] And speaking of that,

[02:40] pushing God out of our society and

[02:43] changing the gospel to the social

[02:46] gospel. Have you noticed that a lot of

[02:48] preachers don't want to talk about

[02:49] what's in the Bible if it's counter to

[02:52] the social gospel?

[02:54] Well, I challenge the ministers out

[02:58] there to talk about what the Bible says

[03:00] and not what the leftists say

[03:11] and and get on board get on board of the

[03:16] revival that is coming. We are not going

[03:20] to be able to stop it. You see evidence

[03:22] of it right here in this stadium. We're

[03:24] all going to be a part of it. I love the

[03:27] fact that Erica is going to take over

[03:30] and uh we're going to grow the turning

[03:32] point to a very significant level. And I

[03:36] want us all to remember you cannot be

[03:39] the land of the free if you're not the

[03:41] home of the brave. You got to stand up

[03:43] for what you believe in.

[03:50] And in

[03:53] in closing,

[03:55] I want to read a passage

[03:57] from John

[03:59] 12:24.

[04:02] remembering that Charlie was shot at

[04:06] 12:24

[04:08] p.m.

[04:09] Verily, verily, I say unto you, this is

[04:12] Christ speaking, except a corn of wheat

[04:16] fall onto the ground and die, it abideth

[04:19] alone, but if it die, it bringeth forth

[04:23] much fruit. And I want to thank Charlie

[04:26] for his sacrifice because much fruit is

[04:30] going to be realized. Thank you.
