[00:00] My two favorite moments of the entire
[00:02] memorial,
[00:04] three actually. So we'll get to the
[00:05] third here in a second, but my my two
[00:07] really powerful moments that stand out
[00:09] to me from yesterday came from the vice
[00:10] president of the United States and of
[00:12] course Charlie's widow, Erica Kirk, my
[00:14] beautiful friend. But JD Vance's entire
[00:16] speech was amazing. We could watch all
[00:18] 15 20 minutes of it together. I want us
[00:20] to watch this one moment because he's
[00:23] having this look in the mirror reckoning
[00:25] moment with himself that yes, I am
[00:27] deeply Christian. Everything that I do
[00:29] is rooted in Christian values and
[00:31] Christian faith and my relationship with
[00:33] God. But I'm embarrassed of the fact
[00:36] that I haven't said enough about it yet.
[00:38] And that's always going to be the most
[00:40] important thing to me. So, we're never
[00:42] going back. Listen to his words.
[00:45] You know, I was telling somebody
[00:48] backstage
[00:51] that I always felt a little
[00:52] uncomfortable talking about my faith in
[00:54] public. As much as I loved the Lord and
[00:57] as much as it it was an important part
[00:59] of my life, I have talked more about
[01:02] Jesus Christ in the past two weeks than
[01:05] I have my entire time in public life.
[01:29] I have talked more about Jesus Christ in
[01:31] the past two weeks than I have in my
[01:36] entire life.
[01:38] It's not about him. It's not even about
[01:41] Charlie.
[01:42] It's about our movement, our country,
[01:46] our government, and our world.
[01:49] Taking a step back, taking a deep
[01:51] breath, looking at the life of this
[01:54] extraordinary young man who is not here
[01:56] with us today because of evil and asking
[02:00] what was it all about for him? Why did
[02:02] he get out of bed in the morning? Why
[02:04] was he ready? And he expressed this to
[02:06] many people ready if evil did strike to
[02:11] give his life for this. It wasn't about
[02:13] who was running for president. It wasn't
[02:14] about American history alone.
[02:18] This was about something so much bigger
[02:20] than ourselves. And somewhere along the
[02:23] way in our country, we've lost it. We've
[02:27] lost our connection to the divine. And
[02:30] if anyone should exhibit that connection
[02:32] stronger than all of us, it should be
[02:35] our leadership, the people that we elect
[02:37] to represent. We the people. Webroot
[02:41] total protection is not just another
[02:42] cyber security product. It is peace of
[02:44] mind for you and for anyone living in
[02:46] today's digital world, which let's be
[02:48] honest, we all are. Showing just how
[02:50] vital it is to stay protected online,
[02:52] especially after incidents like the
[02:54] recent data breach with TransUnion that
[02:56] impacted over 4 million people. Yikes.
[02:59] Don't wait for your information to end
[03:01] up in the wrong hands. Webroot gives you
[03:03] identity protection for yourself and up
[03:05] to 10 family members, covering up to a
[03:07] million dollars in fraud expense
[03:09] reimbursement. And they offer 247
[03:11] US-based customer support, including an
[03:14] elder fraud hotline. Plus, they include
[03:16] real time anti virus, firewall, web
[03:18] threat shield, password manager, and
[03:21] unlimited cloud backup so that you are
[03:23] shielded from every single angle. I have
[03:26] been really paranoid lately about my
[03:28] identity ending up in the wrong hands.
[03:29] There's always crazy stories happening
[03:31] and I am like the most chronically
[03:32] online person of all time by the nature
[03:35] of my job. So, this has been something
[03:36] our family has been talking a lot about
[03:38] lately and it's made a world of
[03:40] difference. With lightning fast scans,
[03:42] lightweight software, and lower annual
[03:43] costs over time, it is so easy to see
[03:45] why WebRoot has a 90% retention rate and
[03:48] has been trusted for over 25 years.
[03:50] Don't spend weeks on your own resolving
[03:52] identity theft. Webroot total protection

[04:09] or Webroot essentials when you go to
[04:12] webroot.com/isabel.
[04:15] Live a better digital life with webroot.
[04:18] There's a lot of speculation that a
[04:20] political career is about to launch for
[04:22] Charlie's widow. my beautiful friend
[04:24] Erica Kirk. I think it's way too soon
[04:26] for us to speculate on exactly what's
[04:28] next for her beyond her new role. By the
[04:30] way, congratulations Erica as president
[04:32] and CEO of the board of directors for
[04:35] Turning Point USA.
[04:37] But no one exhibited that that quiet
[04:40] strength, that faithful fortitude and
[04:44] the willingness to empty of ourselves
[04:47] and become a vessel for God yesterday
[04:50] more than Erica Kirk. Her strength.
[04:53] Oh, I'm going to try not to cry cuz I
[04:55] cried too much yesterday.
[04:57] Choke it up. Isabelle,
[05:00] her strength was
[05:02] the most extraordinary thing I've ever
[05:04] seen. Truly. And I remember I texted my
[05:07] dad, "This event and particularly this
[05:09] speech is the most beautiful thing I've
[05:11] ever seen."
[05:13] In her time on stage, she honors
[05:15] Charlie's life. She talks about what's
[05:16] next for Turning Point, of course. But
[05:19] by far the most moving moment where you
[05:22] could hear a pin drop in an arena of
[05:26] 73,000 people is when Erica Kirk said
[05:30] this.
[05:34] My husband Charlie,
[05:38] he wanted to save
[05:42] young men
[05:45] just like the one who took his life.
[05:50] [Applause]
[06:05] That young man,
[06:08] that young man
[06:10] on the cross, our savior said,
[06:17] "Father, forgive them for they not know
[06:21] what they do."
[06:25] That man,
[06:28] that young man
[06:33] I forgive him.
[06:35] [Applause]
[07:04] I forgive him because it was what Christ
[07:07] did
[07:09] and is what Charlie would do.
[07:13] The answer to hate is not hate.
[07:17] The answer we know from the gospel is
[07:19] love and always love.
[07:23] love for our enemies
[07:25] and love for those who persecute us.
[07:33] It hits
[07:35] the exact same. That's like the fifth
[07:38] time that I've watched that.
[07:43] Total tangent side note here for a
[07:45] second. The left would like for you to
[07:48] believe and our culture would like for
[07:49] you to believe that strong women are
[07:52] angry.
[07:54] That they're hardened, they're tough,
[07:59] they lack vulnerability,
[08:01] they lack femininity, they lack a
[08:03] softness to them.
[08:06] Can anyone with a soul watch that clip,
[08:10] watch that moment, let alone be there in
[08:12] that room? I mean, you saw how people
[08:14] were viscerally reacting in such a
[08:15] powerful way to what she just said. Can
[08:18] anyone watch that moment and genuinely
[08:20] tell me that that's not the strongest
[08:21] woman you've ever seen in your life?
[08:26] And yet, she's the exact opposite of
[08:28] what culture tells you is empowering.
[08:31] She's soft. She's quick to forgive. She
[08:34] gave that speech 11 days after her
[08:38] husband was violently assassinated
[08:41] to say, "I forgive you."
[08:46] She's vulnerable. She's crying in front
[08:48] of literally a hundred million people
[08:50] who were projected to be watching that
[08:52] live across various streams yesterday.
[08:55] But she's authentic.
[08:58] She realizes if this was just about me,
[09:00] of course I would hate.
[09:03] Of course, I would never forgive, but
[09:05] it's not because the answer to hate is
[09:08] always more love. And the answer to our
[09:10] brokenness and to sin is always God.
[09:15] You could genuinely, I know I've said it
[09:17] four or five times, but I think it bears
[09:18] repeating. You could genuinely feel the
[09:21] Holy Spirit move through every one of
[09:24] these speakers, through every single
[09:26] person sitting in the crowd. I have
[09:28] never sat in a room that felt like that
[09:32] ever. And I know it's not going to be
[09:34] the only room that I sit in in the next
[09:36] year or so as this revival sweeps an
[09:40] entire generation throughout the world,
[09:42] but certainly also transforms our
[09:45] country. I mean, for goodness sakes, the
[09:48] White House, the official White House
[09:51] Instagram and Tik Tok account ended up
[09:54] posting this after the event yesterday.
[10:06] [Music]
[10:53] The White House. The White House posted
[10:56] that people.
[10:58] What? We're back, baby.
[11:01] Oh, we're so back. If this is what
[11:04] people call Christian nationalism, I
[11:06] want this injected into my veins every 5
[11:09] seconds, okay? Because this is not
[11:10] forcing anything upon anyone. This is
[11:14] one nation under God. This is who we
[11:16] were designed to be. And I have never
[11:19] felt prouder
[11:21] of being an American. I've never felt
[11:23] prouder of fighting in this conservative
[11:25] movement. I've never felt prouder of
[11:27] supporting this administration.
[11:31] And it's not going to be easy. It's not
[11:33] going to be easy for any of us, but it's
[11:35] certainly not going to be easy for them
[11:37] in positions of of elected power. Before
[11:40] I transition into some thoughts on that,
[11:41] I want to leave you with one of the more
[11:43] poignant things said about how we move
[11:46] forward from here. Because I think it
[11:49] still is hitting all of us who know
[11:51] Charlie in waves every 15 minutes to
[11:53] every few hours that he's really gone.
[11:56] That he's not just going to walk out on
[11:58] stage at the next thing or host his
[12:00] podcast tomorrow or shoot us a text with
[12:02] a random Bible verse. That he really is
[12:04] gone from this life. He's more alive
[12:05] than we are, but he's gone from this
[12:07] life. And Secretary Kennedy had a really
[12:10] powerful
[12:11] anecdote to share with the audience. Uh
[12:13] all 73,000 of us and all 100 million of
[12:16] you that watched that live yesterday
[12:18] that got brushed over because it wasn't
[12:20] one of the flashier things that was
[12:21] said, but I think was one of the more
[12:23] meaningful things that was said. He
[12:25] asked his mother in the wake of his
[12:27] brother dying, "Does the pain of losing
[12:30] someone, does the hole that they leave
[12:32] really ever go away?" And of course, his
[12:35] mom lost her husband and her
[12:36] brother-in-law to assassinations a lot
[12:38] like this. And here's what she had to
[12:40] say in response.
[12:43] A few years ago, my brother David died.
[12:47] And I asked my mother,
[12:50] "Does the hole that they leave in you
[12:53] when they die, does it ever get any
[12:55] smaller?" And she said to me, "It never
[12:58] gets any smaller, but our job is to grow
[13:01] ourselves bigger around the whole." And
[13:04] we do that by taking the best qualities,
[13:06] the best most admirable character traits
[13:09] of the person that died and integrate
[13:12] them with restraint, with discipline,
[13:14] with practice into our own character.
[13:17] And in doing that, we make ourselves
[13:20] larger and the whole gets proportionally
[13:23] smaller. We also give a kind of
[13:26] immortality to the person who left us
[13:29] because their work continues through us.
[13:34] Their work continues through us.
[13:39] And it's up to us to take the best
[13:41] qualities and the best attributes of the
[13:44] person who died and diligently,
[13:47] willingly work them into our own lives
[13:50] to carry their torch forward. That's how
[13:52] we make our lives bigger proportionally
[13:56] around the hole that is left when
[13:58] they're missing from us and when they're
[14:00] missing from our movement. That's what
[14:02] we need to do with Charlie.
[14:05] I've come to realize and appreciate more
[14:07] in the last couple of days than ever
[14:09] before in my work as a commentator and a
[14:12] creator that freedom, something I say I
[14:15] fight for every day. It's something I
[14:16] think we all say we fight for every day.
[14:18] Freedom can't just mean our right to do
[14:21] whatever we want. I think we've tried
[14:24] that in the last couple of years and it
[14:27] hasn't worked out very well for the
[14:28] country. But real freedom, genuine
[14:31] liberty has to come out of our call to
[14:34] do and say what we should,
[14:38] not just whatever we want, or we will
[14:40] very, very quickly lose our society at
[14:43] the hands of evil. Make absolutely no
[14:46] mistake about it. is it is up to us.
[14:48] It's up to every single one of you
[14:50] listening to this today, every one of us
[14:53] who knew and loved Charlie and every one
[14:55] of our children to come afterwards to
[14:58] see this Charlie-sized hole to use RFK's
[15:01] expression and to make our lives, our
[15:04] movement, our faith and our foundation
[15:06] grounded in God so much bigger, bigger
[15:11] than we ever thought possible, bigger
[15:13] than we can even envision and imagine in
[15:15] our minds today. Since I had my daughter
[15:18] Isa almost five months ago, which is
[15:20] crazy, my skin started looking really
[15:22] tired and dull, mainly because I had so
[15:25] many sleepless nights and I can't use
[15:26] certain products when I'm breastfeeding
[15:28] and all of the non-stop work that we've
[15:30] had to get this show up and running for
[15:32] you guys. I was honestly getting really
[15:33] frustrated trying different products
[15:35] that just weren't working for me. And I
[15:37] finally discovered Bon Charge and their
[15:39] amazing red light face mask. And wow, it
[15:42] has been a total gamecher for me and
[15:44] even my husband who steals it from time
[15:46] to time. Bon Charge is an amazing
[15:48] wellness brand that creates
[15:49] sciencebacked products using ancestral
[15:51] wisdom with cutting edge research. Their
[15:53] red light face mask in particular has
[15:55] become my absolute sacred self-care me
[15:58] time that I need for just 20 minutes, 10
[16:00] to 20 minutes when I'm watching the news
[16:02] or doing show research or just putting
[16:03] Isla to bed and I need a couple seconds
[16:05] just to myself. It's super lightweight.
[16:08] It never gets hot and it uses both red
[16:09] light and near infrared light to boost
[16:11] collagen production and elastin
[16:13] production, which means my skin always
[16:15] is looking its best every single day
[16:17] when we sit down to do the show for you
[16:18] guys. What sets Bon Charge apart is
[16:20] they've actually removed any blue light
[16:22] from their mask which does disrupt your
[16:24] circadian rhythm and your sleep patterns
[16:26] and all of the other brands actually
[16:28] keep that in their masks. I've noticed a
[16:30] huge difference since switching to this
[16:32] particular brand. It has made a world of
[16:34] difference in making sure I still get to
[16:36] have my normal sleep in the evening
[16:38] time. Plus, it is zero EMF radiation and
[16:41] zero flicker. Since using it, I have
[16:42] noticed a huge noticeable difference. My
[16:44] skin is glowing. Those new mom fine
[16:47] lines are non-existent. they are gone.
[16:49] Plus, it's backed by over 4,000
[16:51] peer-reviewed studies with zero negative
[16:53] side effects ever. Don't take my word
[16:55] for it. Go try it for yourself. Go to

[17:09] Yesterday's service was devastating and
[17:11] so so heartbreaking. It was truly one of
[17:14] the hardest things I've ever had to sit
[17:16] through. But it was also so beyond
[17:20] empowering. It was a wakeup call for
[17:23] everyone sitting in that audience. Even
[17:25] if you were the president of the United
[17:27] States, that we can no longer be
[17:29] lukewarm about truth and lukewarm about
[17:32] our faith. We can no longer just quietly
[17:35] pray in our rooms at home and fail to
[17:37] bring our prayers out to the public. We
[17:40] cannot idally expect someone else to
[17:42] morally lead our society. We have to.
[17:46] And especially because the boldest and
[17:48] the loudest and the most fearless and
[17:51] courageous advocate for real freedom
[17:54] grounded in truth is no longer with us.
[17:58] All of us have to work together to
[18:01] proportionately make this movement so
[18:03] much bigger than we ever thought
[18:04] possible.
