Lance Wallnau Addresses the Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk and the Rising Digital Revival Movement

Lance Wallnau reflects on what he calls the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk, describing him as the first martyr of the third great awakening and the seven mountain movement. Wallnau discusses the digital revival where AI programs are now compiling Charlie's teachings to comfort distressed young people, while warning against conspiracy theories and misdirected anger within the movement. He examines the widespread celebration of political violence on the left, citing a Rutgers University study on assassination culture, and calls for focused action against the infrastructure and funding sources of radical leftism rather than internal division.

A Digital Revival and AI-Generated Comfort

Lance Wallnau opens by discussing what he describes as a digital revival taking place, covered even by the New York Times. Millions of young people without traditional church connections are turning to AI programs for spiritual guidance. In a striking example, an AI program compiled Charlie Kirk's statements to comfort a distressed young woman who asked, "What would Charlie say right now?"

The AI-generated message captured what Wallnau believes would have been Charlie's exact response: "First, I want you to know I'm fine. Not because my body is fine, but because my soul is secure in Christ. Death is not the end. It's a promotion. Don't waste one second mourning me. I knew the risks of standing up in this cultural moment, and I'd do it all over again. Second, do not let this violence divide us further. The enemy wants chaos, fear, and retaliation. Don't give it to them. Instead, double down on truth. Double down on courage. Double down on your faith and on your families. That is how you honor me."

Wallnau found this AI compilation strangely encouraging, noting it perfectly captured Charlie's voice and message, perhaps with slightly less emotion but maintaining the core truth.

The Stages of Grief and the Danger of Misdirected Anger

Wallnau addresses the various stages of grief people are experiencing, comparing it to what would have happened had President Trump been assassinated at Butler or on a golf course. He outlines the progression from disbelief through bargaining, depression, anger, and finally acceptance.

He identifies anger as the most dangerous stage for the movement, warning specifically against those who are directing their rage toward Israel and Jewish people. Wallnau argues that opening oneself to anti-Semitic or anti-Israel ideology creates a doorway to deceptive spirits and conspiracy theories.

He specifically calls out voices in the movement, including Candace Owens, who he says have allowed anti-Israel sentiment to lead them into conspiracy theories connecting Netanyahu and Mossad to the assassination. He describes one particular conspiracy theory circulating that claims a cover-up involving a transgender staff member at TPUSA, which he calls a distraction from the real enemy.

Charlie Kirk as First Martyr of the Seven Mountain Movement

Wallnau describes Charlie Kirk as "the first martyr of the third great awakening" and "the first fruits martyr of the seven mountain movement." He explains that Charlie was a believer with strong church commitment who went outside the church into the education mountain to battle ideologies of professors and win youth.

Charlie dominated three mountains: the education mountain through campus conversations, the media mountain with 100 million views every few days from his content, and the government/political mountain. He did this while being supported by the church mountain, impacting families, and being funded by donors in the business mountain.

Wallnau emphasizes that Charlie preached the gospel "not from a plexiglass pulpit, but from a chair with a tent on college campuses" and accomplished all this before turning 32 years old. He notes that Charlie put his campus conversations on media, hit education, changed government, and created massive impact through technology and social media.

The Media's False Narratives Begin to Crumble

Wallnau argues that something has been unleashed and a shift is happening where the media can no longer maintain moral equivalency. He says the depravity of the left and its real system is now being exposed and re-evaluated.

He discusses how the first media narrative claimed the killer came from a conservative Mormon family in Utah, attempting to paint him as a right-wing extremist who shot Charlie because Charlie wasn't sufficiently right-wing. Wallnau shows evidence that the mother celebrated Halloween with images of a dead Trump, contradicting the "conservative family" narrative.

The narrative collapsed when it was discovered the killer had Antifa language encoded on the shell casings, specifically the phrase "catch this" which is an Antifa slogan. Furthermore, the killer was living in a romantic relationship with another man who was transitioning to become a woman, placing him firmly within the trans and Antifa communities rather than conservative circles.

The Myth of Both Sides Violence

Wallnau addresses what he calls "the mythology of balance" where liberals call for even-handedness, claiming both sides are equally guilty of political violence. He references Greg Gutfeld's meltdown on The Five when a panelist tried to make this comparison, with Gutfeld refusing to play that game.

He points out that when someone mentioned Governor Shapiro's house being firebombed, it wasn't by a Christian MAGA person but by a radical leftist pro-Palestinian activist, further disproving the "both sides" narrative.

Wallnau cites a Rutgers University study titled "Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political Violence." The study revealed troubling findings:

  • 56% of those who self-identified as left of center reported they would feel at least somewhat justified if someone murdered Donald Trump
  • Similar numbers supported murdering Elon Musk
  • 56% supported burning down Tesla dealerships
  • The researchers found a statistically significant correlation between assassination culture and left-wing authoritarianism

The study was provoked by widespread left-wing celebrations of the firebombing of Tesla dealerships and the political assassination of insurance executive Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione.

The Trans Ideology Connection to Violence

Wallnau presents a list compiled by Seth Gruber of recent shooters and their connection to trans ideology: Denver shooter trans, Aberdeen shooter trans, Nashville shooter trans, Philadelphia shooter trans, Colorado Springs shooter non-binary, Iowa shooter gender fluid, Minneapolis shooter trans, Charlie Kirk shooter had a trans partner.

He discusses how the University of Utah sponsored a lecture by armed queers, with a student organization co-hosting the event. The group's stated principles include termination of oppressive capitalism, colonialism, racism, hetero-patriarchy, land ownership, abolition of all police and prisons, and armed militant protection of their communities.

Wallnau argues that the queer and trans community differs from the homosexual community because it's based on identity rather than orientation, and when that identity isn't affirmed, they view others as enemies. He notes they've been able to operate without restraint, with their stated goal being to agitate and provoke individuals who disagree with them.

The Call for Focused Action

Returning to Charlie's words from the AI compilation, Wallnau emphasizes: "Do not let this violence divide us further." He warns against letting what has happened create anger, bargaining, fantasy, and unreal thinking on the right.

Instead, he calls for "cold, laserlike, steely resolve to hit the targets, the funding, the organization, and the infrastructure of the radical left, which is funded by the billionaire class." He describes how they've put $1.8 billion into feeding radicals through shell games that distance the money from the funders, operating like lawyers for the devil.

Wallnau argues this is a sustained battle of public persuasion, which is what Charlie died for. Charlie brought ideas into discourse, creating conversations about God, gender, sexuality, marriage, socialism versus capitalism, grounded in 2,000 years of Judeo-Christian wisdom literature.

The Rhetoric That Justifies Violence

Wallnau shares his personal experience of being misrepresented by the media. He describes doing an event in Pennsylvania where he referenced the movie Gladiator, having people put their hand up and bring it down "as one" to symbolize unity. A photo was captured at the moment his hand was up and circulated with 2 million views claiming "Lance Wallnau now Christian nationalist leads rally with Nazi salute."

He argues that if he had more visibility and was more publicly agitating, he would be in the same position as Charlie Kirk. This rhetoric calling conservatives Nazis, racists, and fascists is being used to justify violence within what he calls "the murder cult of the disoriented, trans, and bizarre Marxist community."

These individuals believe they're doing God a service by killing people like Charlie Kirk and other conservative leaders. The battle now must focus on the media, politicians, network news commentators, and even preachers on the left who use this dangerous rhetoric.

The Path Forward

Wallnau concludes by noting that the veneer of the lie is being stripped away. This is a moment where the pretense of normality regarding what he calls the bizarreness and destruction of the dark left is being exposed.

He emphasizes that the rhetoric from outlets like the New York Times, The Atlantic, Salon, and Rolling Stone is incendiary hate speech feeding into a demographic where 30% of the Democrat party or campus community says political violence can be justified in certain circumstances.

Rather than internal fighting and conspiracy theories, the focus must be on exposing and defunding the propaganda mill, particularly on campuses where left-wing faculty outnumber conservatives 30 to 1. Young people attending these institutions are entering what Wallnau describes as a propaganda mill that creates the ideological foundation for the violence the movement now faces.
