Trump Honors Charlie Kirk and Iryna Zarutska's Memory as Sky News Analyzes the Speech's Strategy

[00:00] This is especially true among young

[00:02] people. And a big part of that had to do

[00:04] with my great friend Charlie Kirk. Great

[00:08] guy, great man. [applause]

[00:15] [applause]

[00:20] [music]

[00:30] >> [music]

[00:37] >> So last year, Charlie was violently

[00:39] murdered by an assassin

[00:42] and martyed. Really martyed for his

[00:45] beliefs.

[00:47] >> His wonderful wife, Erica, is with us

[00:49] tonight. Erica, please stand. [applause]

[01:00] >> [applause]

[01:10] [applause]

[01:12] >> Thank you, Erica.

[01:14] Been through a lot. [music]

[01:20] >> [music]

[01:26] [music]

[01:33] >> In Charlie's memory, we must all come

[01:35] together to reaffirm that America is one

[01:38] nation under God, and we must totally

[01:41] reject political violence of any kind.

[01:45] [applause]

[01:54] >> [applause]

[01:56] [music]

[02:03] [music]

[02:06] >> We are honored to be joined tonight by a

[02:10] woman who's been through hell, Ana

[02:12] Zuritzka.

[02:13] In 2022, she and her beautiful daughter,

[02:16] so beautiful. What a beautiful young

[02:18] woman. Ireina fled warn

[02:23] wartorrn Ukraine to live with relatives

[02:25] near Charlotte, North Carolina. And by

[02:29] the way, what's going on with Charlotte?

[02:31] Last summer, 23-year-old Ireina was

[02:35] riding home on the train when a deranged

[02:38] monster who had been arrested over a

[02:40] dozen times and was released through no

[02:43] cash bail stood up and viciously slashed

[02:46] a knife through her neck and body. No

[02:50] one will ever forget there were people

[02:53] on that train. No one will ever forget

[02:55] the expression of terror on Irene's face

[02:58] as she looked up at her attacker in the

[03:01] last seconds of her life. She died

[03:02] instantly.

[03:04] She had escaped a brutal war only to be

[03:07] slain by a hardened criminal set free to

[03:10] kill in America. Came in through open

[03:12] borders.

[03:14] Mrs. Zeretska, tonight I promise you we

[03:17] will ensure justice for your magnificent

[03:20] daughter, Ireina.

[03:23] [applause]

[03:27] [applause]

[03:46] Thank you everybody. Great job. He's

[03:47] getting it all all the portit at the

[03:49] moment. Paul Murray, your turn. What do

[03:50] you think?

[03:51] >> Well, uh, viewers at home need to

[03:53] understand that every time Pete leaves

[03:54] the studio, a similar parade of people

[03:56] are there to congratulate him on his

[03:58] [laughter] efforts. Um, it is such a

[04:00] unique thing that in Australia, um, we

[04:02] don't have such pomp and at times such

[04:05] nonsense as well as as what's playing

[04:08] out now. just in real time. What is

[04:11] worth noting here is that generally

[04:12] speaking, it's the chain would be a lot

[04:15] louder than it is right now on the way

[04:17] out. There would normally be Democrats

[04:19] that would want to stay around everyone

[04:21] who was in that that channel as he's

[04:23] coming in and out. They want to try to

[04:24] get a photo. Why? Cuz they want to use

[04:26] that in their campaign material. And

[04:28] because there is an election happening

[04:29] in November, every Democrat ran out of

[04:31] the room as soon as they possibly could.

[04:33] It's why uh they were targeted by Trump

[04:37] and I thought brilliantly targeted by

[04:38] Trump in those uh you know uh it is our

[04:41] job to keep Americans safe not to take

[04:44] care of illegal immigrants. One party

[04:45] stands up, one party doesn't move. That

[04:48] in many ways visually and of course it's

[04:50] about the clips. It's about what echoes

[04:51] for the next few days. that resets

[04:54] immigration because currently uh the

[04:56] immigration numbers where previously

[04:58] obviously one of the reasons he won was

[05:00] about closing the southern border that

[05:02] has happened. Then we move now into the

[05:04] deportations scenario and the

[05:07] confrontations in Minnesota and the

[05:09] ugliness that has come with some of that

[05:11] for him to try to reset immigration on

[05:14] that front. I thought he was very

[05:16] successful in doing so because anyone

[05:19] half watching saw there was one team who

[05:21] agreed with the principle. There was one

[05:23] team who didn't. Secondly, when it came

[05:25] to the economy, there was a couple of

[05:28] moneybased announcements that were

[05:30] interesting like $1,000 toward people's

[05:32] retirement accounts. Uh again, it won't

[05:35] stand out as a clip, but it's something

[05:36] for those politicians who currently are

[05:39] on the back foot. Trump's approval

[05:40] ratings are down, similar to where he

[05:43] was at some of the tougher parts of the

[05:44] first term. The generic ballot of of

[05:47] team red versus team blue is trending

[05:49] blue's way. So, you have to be able to

[05:52] get all of those people to go back and

[05:53] have their fights. They've got one on

[05:55] immigration with the clarity of well,

[05:57] you stood, you didn't stand. They've got

[05:59] one on money when it comes to that

[06:01] $1,000 and 401k. Um and also just

[06:04] finally clearly to me what Trump is

[06:07] doing which is what any president would

[06:08] do in the 250th year of uh America is to

[06:12] celebrate the awesomeness of America and

[06:14] we saw this from a kid in the Texas

[06:17] floods to men from World War II and then

[06:20] for him as the president to become the

[06:22] ultimate symbol of the awesomeness of

[06:25] America that in part he is given many

[06:28] opportunities between now and November

[06:31] to to to be the chief cheerleader for

[06:33] America and clearly he's very

[06:34] enthusiastic.

[06:35] >> Well, I mean, he just knows a TV

[06:36] movement, doesn't he? And that's why he

[06:38] brought in the winning hockey team. The

[06:39] first time since 1980.

[06:41] >> Correct. Genius moved to do so by doing

[06:43] it through the press gallery because

[06:44] obviously the journalists are there

[06:45] working. They're not going to be

[06:46] standing and clapping. So, he gets a

[06:47] very sort of deep dive, a deep cut in uh

[06:50] for the super fans about the media, but

[06:52] just literally obviously they only won

[06:54] on the weekend. The room was already

[06:55] full. Mike Johnson had to work out a way

[06:57] to do it. So, bugger it. Bring him down

[06:58] the aisles. I thought that was
