Patrick Bet-David Leads Prayer for Charlie Kirk's Family After Learning of His Assassination On Stage

[00:00] How many you guys know what just

[00:01] happened the last hour, hour and 15

[00:02] minutes? Who has no clue what just

[00:04] happened last hour and 15 minutes? Hour

[00:07] and 15 minutes. We've been going back

[00:08] and forth. Report just came five minutes

[00:11] ago. Charlie Kirk was shot and he's

[00:13] dead.

[00:17] Yes.

[00:19] When I'm coming on the stage, I was

[00:21] coming on the stage to start a prayer

[00:24] for him because it wasn't announced.

[00:27] Vinnie comes up and tells me Charlie's

[00:30] dead.

[00:32] Kelly comes and signals to me, Charlie's

[00:35] dead. We've had Charlie on the podcast.

[00:36] I think Charlie's a very important guy

[00:39] in America for our youth.

[00:43] [Music]

[01:00] [Music]

[01:05] Heat. Heat.

[01:07] [Music]

[01:33] You know, it's weird. I mentioned his

[01:34] name yesterday. Do you remember?

[01:38] Yesterday I said Dylan was watching his

[01:40] debates the other day on his own and in

[01:42] a story like this takes place

[01:46] in the back. I'm like you got to be

[01:47] kidding me for a story like this

[01:48] beautiful family. By the way, forget

[01:51] about political differences. Some of you

[01:53] guys may not like the guy. Some of you

[01:55] guys may like him. But an event like

[01:58] this, you look at the top 15 things that

[02:01] are trending right now on X, look at

[02:04] them.

[02:06] The last thing we need is things like

[02:07] this to raise the temperature.

[02:10] Breaks my heart. Young man, 31 years

[02:12] old, family.

[02:14] And when you see events like this, you

[02:16] know what it does?

[02:18] Many people react in a place of fear.

[02:21] Security's in the back. Do you want to

[02:22] hit the stage? Of course, I'm going to

[02:24] hit the stage. What do you mean, dude?

[02:27] This is not how we roll. You think

[02:29] America accidentally became the greatest

[02:31] country in the world? You think this

[02:33] happened because we didn't have courage?

[02:36] You think this happened because we

[02:37] didn't have to fight? You think this

[02:39] happened because the leaders, the

[02:40] founding fathers were scared?

[02:42] No. We're the luckiest people alive.

[02:46] But in moments like this, we can either

[02:48] get our temperature to go high, lose our

[02:50] cool, react accordingly, or we can calm

[02:53] the nerves down, become examples and

[02:54] leaders, simultaneously staying tough,

[02:58] calling out the truth, and being willing

[03:00] to fight for this guy who's been pouring

[03:03] into what he believes in. All Charlie

[03:05] did is he loved America. So, if you

[03:07] don't mind, with your permission, I

[03:09] would like to bring Tom up to give a

[03:11] prayer before we finish this session. Is

[03:14] that okay with you?

[03:20] [Applause]

[03:22] [Music]

[03:42] We on. Father God, we come to you at

[03:45] this hour and we ask for peace and we

[03:48] ask for your comfort, especially for the

[03:50] Charlie Kirk's family, his team at

[03:53] Turning Point USA.

[03:56] He speaks the truth and he speaks the

[03:58] truth on the foundation of your

[04:00] scripture

[04:01] and for that he's been taken from us.

[04:04] But you are in control. You're in

[04:06] control yesterday. You're in control

[04:08] today. And Lord God, you are in control

[04:11] tomorrow. We don't understand the

[04:13] senseless violence when it happens, but

[04:15] we do know this. We must respond with

[04:18] peace and power.

[04:21] Let vengeance in the day of vengeance

[04:23] and consequence be yours, but it doesn't

[04:25] mean that we sit idle. And we just ask

[04:27] that you give us peace in this moment of

[04:29] grief, strength in the moment of

[04:32] response, and temperance in in how we

[04:35] respond without diluting the power of

[04:38] the message and the freedoms that we

[04:39] want to protect and hold dear.

[04:42] We thank you for all that are here. We

[04:44] thank you for Charlie and the voice that

[04:46] he gave us. And the voice he gave us are

[04:49] words that we must remember and it will

[04:52] inspire us. Thank you for how he went

[04:55] into the the battleground of the college

[04:58] campus where liberalism is poured out in

[05:01] indoctrination and sought to debate

[05:03] peacefully to bring sense and solution

[05:07] and understanding. Let us be that voice.

[05:10] Let us continue to carry it. I thank

[05:12] you, oh Lord, for the love you put upon

[05:14] us. I thank you, oh Lord, for being

[05:17] there. You are our God today, tomorrow,

[05:19] and forever. And we thank you. We ask

[05:22] that you to give us all peace at this

[05:23] moment. And in our moment of grief, we

[05:26] ask you give us strength for tomorrow

[05:28] and great strength to rise up. This is

[05:32] not a time to step back, but a time to

[05:34] step forward, for what we are doing is

[05:36] too important to stop.

[05:39] And we praise you for all that have come

[05:41] here. We ask for safety for all that are

[05:43] here. We ask for safety that are all

[05:46] speaking in your name and in the name of

[05:47] conservative values across this land,

[05:49] across this earth because we are not

[05:53] backing down and we thank you. And right

[05:55] now we remember Charlie as we just sit

[05:58] for a moment.

[06:06] Oh father God, you tell us in Psalms 23

[06:08] that as we walk through the valley of

[06:10] the shadow of death, we will fear no

[06:12] evil because you are with us and that

[06:14] your rod and your staff will comfort us.

[06:18] We ask for that comfort now and we put

[06:20] it all before you in the precious name

[06:22] of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as

[06:25] we say amen.

[06:27] Amen. Amen.

[06:32] Thank you, Tom.

[06:34] [Music]

[06:36] [Applause]

[06:43] Life is weird, man. I mean, it's like

[06:45] the whole this event's been a example of

[06:47] being inside a tornado and chaos and

[06:49] you're witnessing it like for the rest

[06:51] of your life. You're going to say, "I

[06:52] remember an event I went to back in

[06:54] 2000." I if I told you, you wouldn't

[06:56] believe it. Weirdest event I ever went

[06:59] to.

[07:00] But I think this event going to bring

[07:05] all of us closer and we will remember

[07:07] this together for decades and decades

[07:09] and decades to come.
