Remembering Charlie Kirk One Year Later... America's Christian Martyr

0:00That terrible day September 10th, 2025 are greatest evangelists. The American Liberty became immortal. He's a modern now for American freedom. You know you are part of something bigger than yourself. You know that you are part of the most exciting, diverse, powerful movement in the history of this country. This movement is about the citizens versus the oligarchs. This movement is about we the people versus the ruling class. This movement is about America versus the globalists. This movement is about all of us against them. One of my favorites saying to the Bible, in Hebrew it's my name. Here I am. It means Lord using one of my marching orders.

1:04Abraham at the binding of Isaiah. He said, Lord, here I am. Moses at the burning bush. Lord, here I am. Samuel Isaiah, here I am. It means give me the order. Here I am, Lord Jesus. I've got a lot of people who follow Jesus. He transformed the face of the churches and the men in doing so. He changed the course of America history. You still live in the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of Europe. There is still so much to be hopeful and to be thankful for. Have that fostered here I am. I can't wait to see how this force will be like that. The states will rise. We are only to done by them. One, nine, one, nine. Only in America is it possible to say,

2:05you know what, I don't like the way the country is going. And to do something about it. That risk, take that leap of faith, stay involved, trust God and act obediently. Romans 12, two verse. That God will use all things, all things for good for those who love Him. It's bigger than you. I want you to remember it is bigger than you. It's bigger than me. You are here to make somebody else's life better than for some liberty and freedom. You know what gives me strength? The hundreds of thousands of you that say, Charlie, keep going. First Corinthians 5 and 15. So that's all pretty amazing evidence. Not just intrabible governance, but extra biblical evidence that Jesus Christ was a real person. He lived a perfect life. He was crucified, died and rose on the third day and he is Lord and God of law. Oh man, this is going to be a tough one.

3:07I'm sorry that we're late today. We're traveling and a year later, it just doesn't feel real. It still doesn't feel real. A year later, it just doesn't feel real. It still doesn't feel real. I've been thinking about this all day and all night. And we're at the GOP convention here in Dallas. And it's something that I still haven't come to terms with. And I want to just start off the show by saying we're just going to, we don't really have a, we have no script today. We're just going to do this as a, as a memorial to Charlie today. This is what the show is going to be. And we're just going to off the top of the dome, talk through who Charlie is,

4:13what Charlie was because there's been so many forces that have tried to break down, atomize and profit off of an alternative universe, bizarre world version of Charlie and what he stood for. And then we're going to define what Charlie gave his life for, and how that is still living today. How Charlie Kirk is living today through that legacy. I was really close with Charlie, I built with Charlie. Here's the first in last photos I ever took with Charlie right here. It's from 2018. Student Action Summit in Florida. And I knew him a year earlier than this. I knew him for nearly 10 years.

5:14And it's the last photo I took with Charlie. This is a month before he was murdered. And Charlie was more than just a brother to me. We built together. We fought for the country together. We created together. But what Charlie really was, was a profit to me. He was somebody who spoke into my life. The truth of Jesus Christ. And when I was lost, and when I had the wrong priorities in life, Charlie was there. And Charlie was there. Christ centering me. And he did so in a way that saved my life.

6:14Charlie cared a lot about saving America, but he cared more about building the kingdom of heaven. And Charlie reconnected me with my faith. He encouraged me to be a husband, and then somebody who could speak out about my faith, I never used to do that. Speak out for the kingdom of God. And I'm not alone. Charlie encouraged millions of young men to do the exact same thing. And young people all throughout the country. And tens of millions, ladies and gentlemen, have been doing that. This is the legacy of Charlie. A legacy that cannot be ever taken away, ever. 2024 election edition, mail voters swing towards Trump. The first time in your lifetime, remind that a Republican president won an absolute majority of young men.

7:16This has never happened before. Look at the Charlie Kirk effect in the 2024 election. Look at this. Men plus 13 for Donald Trump, 18 to 29. Young men swung hard to the right for Trump after campaign dominated by masculine appeals. This is the legacy of Charlie. Young people returning to church, reshaping America's future. Young people are returning to church. And doing something that has never been done before. Attending church at higher rates than their parents. A resurgence of faith among young people. A notable shift to Gallup poll this year found that 42% of young men now say that religion is very important in their lives. The highest in a quarter century and it's up 14%.

8:16Since just 2023. According to this group, Gen Z churchgoers are now attending more frequently than any generation marking a historic reversal for the first time that has ever been recorded. A spiritual interest has peaked among young people more than in older generations. Sociologists are bewildered. Something has happened. What happened? Young people saw that Charlie believed in something that he was willing to die for. That's what makes him a martyr. When Stephen, the first martyr of the Christian church, was killed, there were about 30 Christians in the whole world. And all Stephen had to do was renounce his faith. He was the same age as Charlie. He was taken out and killed the same way that Charlie was killed by block force to the head.

9:18And. It changed everything. Forever. Ladies and gentlemen, hold on just a minute. Sorry. It's been tough to relive this. And it's not about me. It's about Charlie's legacy. And this is Charlie's legacy. Because people witnessed someone who was willing to die. For what they believed. When Stephen was killed, the first Christian martyr, the faith of Stephen and Christiandom spread throughout the entire ancient world, all of antiquity.

10:21The church grew from 30 people, a church that could be wiped out to 30,000 people, and then 3 million people, and today billions of people believe in Christianity. Because of men who are willing to die for their faith. And that is what Charlie did. Look at this. Charlie constantly preaching to young people that you should be seeking to live a life centered around Christ and around Christ's design for you, which is get married, start a family. Christ's center your life. And look at this. Here's the polling. What is the biggest priority of your life for young people, 18 to 29. Male Trump voters. The number one priority, according to Gallup, is having children. 13 different priorities. Having a job, finding a career, finding a career.

11:23These are left wing voters, male and female. Female Trump voters, achieving financial independence. Okay. Have some work to do there. Having children is still, let's see, number six. Getting married and having children are in the top. Four, and number one, priorities for male voters. We don't have to guess what Charlie wanted his legacy to be. He told us. He made it very clear in the final words that he said on this earth. Here they are. Most important thing is, how do you want to be remembered? If I die, everything just goes away. How would you, if you could be associated with one thing, how would you want to be remembered? I want to be remembered for courage for my faith. That would be the most important thing. Most important thing is my faith in my life. I don't know if you know this, but everyone dies. It's important to remind yourself of that.

12:23That you face God, the judge. And he's in a list, everything you did wrong in your life. It's me a long sentencing hearing for me. We get justice, which is hell, because that's what we deserve. Mercy, which is less of that, which all other theologians figure out what that is. Or grace. What is grace? Grace is something so unique, so different, so profound. Which as soon as the sentencing is about to be ushered in, someone comes in and says, no. I will serve that prison sentence for him. I will go into the prison cell for him or her. So that they can live forever. That's grace. You didn't earn it. You didn't check boxes for it. You didn't go park cars for a ministry and that gets you extra points to go to heaven. None of that's true. It's that it's equally accepted for all people that allow Jesus Christ to be your savior, the savior of the world, to be born new. And to be completely and totally renewed. That's a gift that we must try to give all people in the world. I mean, I've had an unbelievably blessed life. I've been doing this now.

13:23It will be 12 years on June 5th. Such a young man to do it. And so young. Yeah, so it prays God. I mean, I've been all across the world. I've met with world leaders. A flown in Air Force One. Got to know a president. I have an amazing family. The podcast, 20.0, you say, all this stuff. And so you experience that and you're like, what actually matters? What matters is your relationship with the divine, your relationship with your family, your kids, and maybe a close collection of friends, and your relationship with the truth. And you can decide to lie all the time and you become a tortured individual. And you know those people. You just try on television. They're constantly lying and they just become like disfigured either emotionally spiritually or physically. Because when you lie, I believe you're actually committing suicide of the soul. I really believe that. Are you a Christian? My name is James. Very, very much so. Like, why is that exactly? Well, Jesus saved my life. I'm a sinner. I gave my life to Christ. Most important decision I ever made. So you believe the Bible is real? Yes, I believe the Bible is true and real. Why is that? Well, I could give you the technical answer. There's never been archeological discovery that has contradicted the truth of the Bible. And then of course the wisdom.

14:23There is not a truth of the Bible that if you apply to your life, your life does not improve dramatically. And then finally, we have the most accurate and transparent historically robust account that one can have of the most important figure ever to live in the history of the world. Jesus of Nazareth. And the resurrection is the pinpoint of my belief that Jesus did rise from the grave so that we may live. And for those of you that have not given your life to Christ, I could tell you it is the most freeing, liberating thing that a human being can possibly do. The most important thing that you can do, which is to be born new into the kingdom of God. The political battles were important for Charlie, but he didn't give his life for an extra point of GDP. And he didn't give his life for some extra of our traditions. Worked to build the kingdom of Christ. And that is the lasting legacy of Charlie.

15:24My screen please, Klein. Thank you. And I said this last year and it's invitering to me to be quite honest with you that we have missed, I think, greatly an opportunity to redefine the battle. In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's death, which the final words that Charlie said on this planet was outlining transgender violence, patterns, and how dangerous they were right before a trunue put a bullet into Charlie and killed him. It's a final words he was saying was warning us about left wing violence. And we said this is a historic opportunity to unite and to dismantle brick by brick dollar by dollar and in prison and destroy and uproot and scorch the earth of the enemies of civilization.

16:38The domestic terrorist threat from the left is real. They've been proving this to us. They've shot Republican Congress. They shot Trump in the head. They murdered Charlie. They're going to keep killing and they haven't stopped their celebrating Charlie Kirk's death today. Jimmy Kimmel celebrated his death. He wasn't punished. Jimmy Kimmel went on to immediately celebrate and call for Donald Trump's assassination. He wasn't punished. It's a generational opportunity to dismantle defund and destroy. We have to focus and we will unite with anyone who's willing to join us in this mission. They stole a president from us. They stole a generational leader. It's hard to not be angry. I God for this because God is the author of life and death.

17:41So this is what God chose. And they'll be angry at God because that's a losing battle. You'll always lose that battle. But this is a battle that we've lost. Like what have we spent the last year doing? In fighting, bickering, monetizing the Charlie Kirk murder industrial complex, focusing on everything but the actual killer, the ideology behind the actual killer, focusing on everything but the warning signs and signals all throughout society that the left was really good. We're ready to murder Charlie and we'll murder again. Missing this one opportunity that we had where we had a unlimited ticket to root out and destroy this ideology that keeps murdering us and will keep murdering for power and has always murdered for power.

18:49What does Jesus say about Satan? He was a murderer and he's always been a murderer. His language is a steel kill and destroy. And have we taken that mission seriously? One year out. A man named John Doyle is joining the program who I think has very much kept the fight, the mission and the clarity of Charlie Kirk. Honourably and I want to talk to him about where we are today. Please welcome to the show John Doyle. John, welcome back to the program. Hey, thank you for having me. What is the legacy of Charlie Kirk when you're out? You know, it's really tough. A lot of people have tried to define it for him and for his friends and for his organization.

19:49I think ultimately like you've been talking about is that he wanted to be remembered for his faith and for his reverence and like you were going over with the statistics about church attendance. I mean, this country really is experiencing. I think a deeply spiritual crisis and especially in the aftermath of the assassination. I mean, everybody was very much ready to go back to church. I was being reached out to by people I haven't spoken to in 15 years old playground, Nemesis even. And we were just all coming together in this moment that could have been a real real moment of unity for the country perhaps not seen since maybe even September 11th attacks. But right now a lot of people are working to try to tarnish that legacy or dissipate its energy into just complete nonsense. And of course, the left is taking victory laps at that. The left is celebrating. They called us the Kirk of Versailles and they've showed us who they are and they're asking us to stop them. And instead, I we've so many people have spent the year in fighting and dickering and establishing what I call the Charlie Kirk industrial murder complex.

20:50Yeah, well, they profit off of attacking or asking questions about anything other than the actual motivation that killed Charlie and I did I disavow that I was worried that that was what was going to happen. And we've done our best to try and keep eyes on target. But maybe you can explain like what do you think that why do you think that landscape developed and what is the way that we can reorient ourselves? In this one year anniversary? I think it's probably just the influencer economy. I mean, there's a general problem we have with cynicism as a country where nobody wants to take anything seriously. But then to the dynamic we have on the right is very decentralized and focused on influencers and finding the real truth. And so it's almost like a natural kind of breeding ground for this kind of thing to happen. However, there should be some kind of like morality and editorial standard that would perhaps compel once and not create as you're saying the Charlie Kirk murder industrial complex. But nonetheless, that's what happened. And Blake Neff has said something really smart about this, which is that the act of doing this to Erica and to the organization to Charlie's friends is actually like of equal immorality to the act itself.

22:04Like in terms of the the wrongness of the assassination is almost equal to the wrongness of deciding that you're going to destroy this man's legacy and try to burn his organization down because you want like, you know, engagement on Instagram or something. I think that's that's true. And it also speaks to just how bizarre the behavior is, you know, murder is obviously evil. But you can at least understand why you might want to murder somebody like Charlie Kirk. I mean, if you can't debate him, you'll never stop him. You really don't have any option left but to take the guy out. But I don't have a theory of mine for monetizing contents that would, you know, serve to dissipate all the momentum and unity following the assassination just to to a grandize my personal brand. That is actually much more bizarre if evil behavior to me. How would you reorient the party and conversation one year out in order to eliminate that economy and that ecosystem and in order to recenter on Charlie's message. I really think that we need to stop associating with bad actors. We wouldn't tolerate this behavior if we were running a restaurant together. We certainly shouldn't tolerate this kind of behavior for involved in what is literally a like civilizationally scaled life or death struggle for the soul of the name.

23:18And it's not, you know, we're very diplomatic about it because we don't want to get involved in the drama or anything. But, you know, we're talking about all the bickering and infighting that's not coming from the Benny Johnson show that's not coming from my show. It's it's a one way thing with all of these kinds of people starting these problems because they want the drama they want the clicks. I never see the people maybe more on our side of things doing that they defend themselves occasionally because you know you have to defend yourself from these lies. It's all of these other people who are trying to sow the division and I think that we're learning that they don't have the influence they think they do they're just trying to ruin it for us on the margins because they want the left to get back into power because the left is in power they do better on social media because everybody's freaked out anxious looking for answers and they'll be happy to provide them. Those answers even if the state of the country is declining and things are getting more calamitous and dangerous for well meaning American Christians. These people are helping out just the left and that is the that is the antithesis of Charlie's life and that would be Charlie would be very very disappointed.

24:18I think he'd be he'd be horrified to find that people that he considered close friends people that he considered loyal to the cause that shared the stage with him at turning point events are helping the left to win one year out. Yeah, and one year out from the left killing Charlie. Yeah, Hassan Piker celebrates this he says thank you for doing this thank you for making it so that the left is not blamed. I just saw a poll just this morning that only 24% of the country knows that the assassin was a leftist. So the average American because of these kinds of like media trends believes that it was just some maniac maybe or they believe it was some conspiracy or something like that but nobody knows. And so we had that this moment where you had unprecedented unity not only on the right but normal people were feeling very alienated about the left because they were watching all of their co workers and friends and relatives people that they thought were normal all the sudden they're celebrating that the guy they'd seen on Instagram trying to talk to kids about ideas just got assassinated.

25:20And so there was this like wave of alienation felt by normal Americans towards the radical left combined with a real unity behind the right we had a very special moment where something could have been done and it seemed like these people wanted to squander it which if I were a leftist operative that's of course what I would do you know I want to redirect the blame I want a so division cause in fighting. You know it was interesting to you're mentioning the nature of how the devil operates what if not the father of lies he's he's he's accuser he bears fault witness he accuses his brother or he accused his other of doing wrong simply to so division among otherwise good people oriented toward a good cause so these people whether or not they understand it are ultimately like serving the agenda of the devil by doing this kind of stuff which you click get your money but this is not worth staking your eternal soul on the right. What would we do to continue to build the way the Charlie built for the kingdom of Christ I think that these are the single most encouraging data points in the entire ecosystem right now which is that young men voted in an absolute majority for Donald Trump that young men and women are returning to church and orthodoxy in fact has seen skyrocketing popularity and that young men and women on the right in the right exclusively on the right.

26:41So we are finding marriage and the creation of families and having children to be the top priorities of their lives and those are self reported and we've never seen those as number one self reported Gallup priorities ever in the history of the country and I believe that is the living that is the living Charlie affects people try and to try and mitigate Charlie I've context a lot but he laid it out very clearly what his priorities were and they were there were cultural more than they were political I think that Charlie would trade wouldn't trade for a second like a point of GDP if he could encourage more young people to have families yeah and I think that that it's truly that whatever but everybody everybody is going to be talking about Charlie's legacy today those are the three defining points that mean Charlie is living today in our culture. Yeah, yeah, I think that's absolutely right and you know obviously we're never going to replace him and I think we know that now quite clearly I remember in the aftermath of the assassination all of these influencers were doing this like who's going to be the next Charlie Kirk is it me is it me and we clearly we have our answer there is none it was a once in a lifetime kind of guy cut from a similar cloth is someone like Donald Trump true like a larger than life kind of figure who just commanded respect inspired those around him and you don't get those guys very often they don't make them anymore.

28:03And if we can't replace him which obviously we can't we have to try to recreate him in the aggregate which is to say we need more good people getting involved and you know obviously you're never going to feel the shoes nobody can but we have to try because that's what Charlie would want that is what he dedicated his life to forwarding the cause of good American Christians being able to live in a country that isn't trying to persecute them around every corner and I have been very inspired to see the outpouring and still the remains of that kind of energy being. Channeled into something productive culturally politically and spiritually and I think that because it is still so effective that is why we are seeing all of the attacks from the left you know trying to really demoralize us today especially but you know they've been doing this non stop since the incidents occurred. What must the Trump administration do they have obviously released plenty of bang or video mashups and they've released great statements on Charlie and I think made great motions towards his memory when it comes to awarding you know Erica Kirk presidential medals and honoring Charlie in the post

29:19but what about the actions what actions must the administration take in order to honor Charlie's legacy. That yeah that's that's the real thing too because you know as much as I'm sure he would appreciate reverence he certainly would rather have the administration you know crack down on certain things and actually move the ball down the field more than anything. I think you know and I talk about this on my program a decent a bit I think the administration is basically doing a good job I think that there are some things that need to be fine tuned and worked out but you know you talk to the guys we have in DC and it's not as though they're just like kicking their feet up on their desk I mean they're really working hard to try to undo what has literally been this like 60 year construction of a machine meant specifically to persecute American Christians and so trying to reconfigure that kind of Leviathan into something that can actually serve that population is very difficult and so I think as long as the administration can kind of keep its head on straight and and work through all of this while presenting itself as normal I think that things will be very successful because Americans you know we don't really like the bull in the China shop I mean we like that Trump went into DC and he was going to drain the swamp but ultimately Americans tend to do better when they think the political project is stable this is the new normal it's not something that's trying to be insane and chaotic and define itself as a kind of middle finger to Washington.

30:36And I think the second Trump administration has done a good job with that especially with bringing someone like JD Vance into the mix you know it's it's more polished it's more articulate and I think as a result it's better functioning than we saw in the first Trump administration. So if we can keep that up and then bring gas back down I think things are going to look very good for us. Yeah, you've been at this GOP convention here in Dallas. Will you be there today? No. Okay. Well, we are going to be there today and I'm very interested to see JD share the stage. I think Erica will perhaps speak I encourage everybody to watch. What's the energy what's the energy been like it's been something that I think is quite fascinating the resiliency of the Trump energy and I saw that yesterday and it's something that makes Trump and Charlie very similar in their ability to organize and electrify and to pull that kinetic energy into action. And I saw that and I was like amazed when Trump took the stage and I just looked around us and this is like this is more than 10 years I mean 2015 is when Trump took that golden escalator.

31:45This is more than 10 years out and this arena is packed. This is a professional sports arena. This is the floor of the professional sports arena not just the stands and this pack to the risers there's there's people standing and cheering and they stand for the first 20 minutes of Trump's speech. And the energy hasn't gone away and it would it it would be nice to see it as disciplined as possible executed I think to the well final political order that I got from Charlie which was we must get JD Vance elected the last time I saw Charlie was in the halls of the White House. We were there to ask a question during the press conference for the new media seat and Charlie was there to of course stock the president. He was there to stand outside of Donald Trump's office and to person you know when he first got the chance and he just said we must get JD elected. It's like we must continue the magma movement through JD this is like the fight. This was Charlie's final sort of political order.

32:48And I view this convention as sort of a bridge to that. So very interested to see what happens tonight but I'm your takeaways. John. Yeah, I think it's been great. You know sometimes you go to these events and they're a little little stuffy but I didn't get that impression from from this at all. I mean the energy was great and Trump you know sometimes I'll see clips of him and it seems like maybe he's tired. And so I think oh you know he's getting up there but no he had a great energy. It reminded me of one of his his old you know 2016 note card style rallies and everybody's laughing and cheering and they love him and there's so many beautiful faces on the tele or not the teleprompter the jumbo tron behind him that it was just it was a great showing from everybody it was great to see the vice president it was great to see Erica. Everybody was there and that's the thing too all of this division is so online like of course the New York Times and the Atlantic and the Washington post want to write about it and say this is definitely happening because they need their readers. The rest assured that the liberals are still in control but there's unprecedented unity behind Donald Trump and JD Vance they have.

33:54Not obviously higher approval ratings at the moment in terms of the general population but in terms of the base people who actually show up to vote for Republicans and elections some precedent to the how the degree to which these people are like supported so there really is no division in so far as that's concerned it's just a matter of how do we how do we pass that baton how do we get that from Trump to Vance because as I'm sure you've seen. The knives are already kind of coming out and preparation for 2028 against Vance by all the usual suspects yes how do we vance guard john. This is my video from last night this is this energy is it was on level with 2016 it was on level with 2020 and 2024 2020 was a little weird but like 2024 and. You know I think that tonight they're going to do I know a number of things that they're going to do to honor Charlie and I think they're going to do an incredible job and JD will be taking the stage tonight with Trump there's going to be a major baton handoff so what's next for the movement john.

34:56Yeah I think that's well the thing with vance is he is the obvious choice not only does the base like him but he's the vice president he's an Ivy League lawyer he's phenomenal on the issues he's very articulate and he's willing to engage with even. Critics in a way that you know you don't typically see like remember not too long ago he did that college event and he fielded questions from students who were. skeptical about certain things that he was associated with you know Peter teal and Palantir and all this other stuff which he was he was able to answer those questions maybe more patiently than I would have where I in his position. So he's very good on on the issues and he's good at sort of handling himself and presenting himself and we saw in the debate with Tim walls which makes for some great content but he can't be. On the issues alone none of his critics who call themselves conservatives can actually engage with him and so they have to lie and say that he's some kind of socialist or they have to smear him by association these are the kind of tactics that you'd expect to see from the left of course these people want the left to win anyway so I guess you know that makes sense but JD is going to do a phenomenal job because he's just a incredible political talent and I think our job is to just keep a level head and communicate that to people like hey you know they're lying about him but that's not true he's not this he's actually this and so on.

36:09And I think it'll be a pretty easy and smooth handoff if we're able to do that. I uh from from your Mastagod's ears I would really love to see that happen tonight on the stage it's going to be a very interesting evening I will be bringing you coverage from the floor tonight and last night it was just very interesting the the I would I was stop I mean not honestly I I was stunned just. I just I didn't I I wasn't sure what to expect and it's just like another massive energetic stadium arena for the president and for the magma movement it's just inspiring to see it 10 years out the left can't do this Obama can't do this Obama events are pathetic now the DNC convention was pathetic no Democrat candidate can do this no one on the left can bring this type of organization and energy and so I would really you know it'd be really nice to keep it.

37:09Rolling maybe a final word on that John like yeah remembering Charlie in remembering Charlie what is it you know through 2028 what is it that must be done. I think that we need to take an inventory of who were up against with the Democrat party and understand that they are having their own big problems right now where you have the sort of ascendant theater kid class the DSA types the young radicals they're a war with like the elder swamp creatures that aside the party has no money. They're losing seats because of redistricting efforts they have no political talent they have no candidates they don't even have a message remember when the world was going to end because of climate change and I don't even mean like in the Al Gore iteration I mean the AOC we have 18 months to pass the Green New Deal or we're all going to die that was like seven years ago nothing's happened that was almost their last real attempt at running on like an issue now it's just anti Trump now it's punishing people who align themselves with Trump that maybe worked in 2017 that maybe worked with the mid terms in 2018 you know we had the women's march with all the pink hats it doesn't happen anymore I mean even when Trump won in 2024 they didn't have the mass demonstrations whereas the first time you won there were lighting police cars on fire in Washington DC so we may be in a rough spot right now however what we're up against which is to say the political force that is wanting to do the most evil to American Christians they are unprecedentedly I guess broke confused disorganized

38:38confused like everything is in a very good position for us to succeed in them to fail which by extension means America to succeed in evil to fail. Ladies and gentlemen you've seen here in this interview why you must follow John Doyle why you should watch his show why we need people that are uniting in our side and in our movement keeping the energy going and willing to continue the fight and not have any evidence to fight and not help the left please unsubscribe from the people who over the last year has shown that their sole objective in life is to help the left win do it for Charlie do it today go follow John instead thank you John Godspeed Ladies and gentlemen I want to bring you this moment from last night that was really beautiful that

39:41God Trump still has for all these legacy and his family full and heart here is Donald Trump and Erica Kirk and a moment last night that brought the entire arena to well to its feet and to its knees in a way here we go. Because we've done so well and because our country is making so much money that only I can make this promise to you and the United's Alex please shout out the clip. Extremist assassinated my great friend and conservative voice Charlie Kirk because Charlie Kirk spoke the truth what shocked millions of American was not only the fact that Charlie was murdered as bad as it was but also how many people made an excuse for it or cheer for it they were cheering some people, sick people

40:53for a brief moment the mask came off the radical left and you saw what they were really all about and now those same people are trying to get power over you in this election and they are all voting Democrat okay they're all voting every one of them and you can't let it happen we will not let them win and in Charlie's honor I just want to say we love you Charlie and Erica is here some place Erica where is Eric?

42:06I think Erica is going to be hit tomorrow too she's put up with something boy oh boy what she's had to go through and most beautiful family it's just terrible but love tough life tough life can't let it happen from the very beginning of this journey I've not stopped fighting and I never will stop fighting to protect you your family I had a great ladies and gentlemen this is the energy that we need right now there is an energy at this R&C convention that is unifying it is in honor of Charlie I encourage you to watch this evening I have a feeling that Erica will give speech and there will be more memorials to Charlie this evening but the memorials and the syndicures and the metals and the plaques this is not what Charlie's legacy needs to be true Charlie's legacy needs to be is winning cultural victories this is what he always constantly was on about constantly spent 10 years building with him nearly and Charlie was only about winning cultural victories young men returning to church young women being good wives being mothers serving Christ for the kingdom of God building the kingdom of God and doing it through the power that we have on this earth

43:34both politically and spiritually that was what Charlie's entire life was about this is what Charlie gave his life for it's just as I just had a very reflective morning thinking through where we've come from and where we are now I'm disappointed in some things I think Charlie would be very disappointed in some things I'm encouraged by others and so I want to give a message of encouragement Charlie was constantly encouraging it's like amazing this is such an unbelievable clip here what a force listen to this is when Charlie was unifying Donald Trump and RFK junior together on stage two of the biggest political dynasties in American history from opposite parties a message this movement is not about republican or democrat this movement is not about conservative or liberal and I think you're going to see that on display in a little bit this maybe this movement is about the citizens versus the oligarchs this movement is about we the people versus the ruling class this movement is about America versus the

44:56globalist this movement is about all of us against them you was a force a force minutes later Donald Trump would take the stage in unite with RFK in one of the greatest political dynastie moves in American history brought about by Charlie Kirk on a turning point stage he did this with Elon Musk as well he united Donald Trump with JD Vance you want to know why I'm part of the vance guard why I will be wrapping for JD Vance hard in 2028 is because this was the last political action that Charlie asked for me to do so I'll take that very very personally is you're wondering where we're where we're headed we're very interested to see how everything shapes up but ladies and gentlemen this is this is the movement the people who are trying to tear this movement the people who are trying to do this movement

46:17are committing an act of evil an act of evil almost as evil as the murderer of Charlie because you're trying to murder a man's legacy and we mustn't let them win we must keep up the fight both culturally but the only way to win culturally is to have political power the only way to have this political power as you can see in the book of Romans is for God to grant us favor so we must keep our spiritual lives in check and so that's why we're in Dallas this is why we're fighting I stand by every single word of the speech I gave at Charlie's memorial we're going to close the show with that just a before we do a shout out to the people that make our show possible advantage gold is who we trust with our precious metals advantage gold is our constant supporter here on this program and have been for years just a massive shout out to them

50:47did the unthinkable for us which I got upon a memorial stage and memorialized my friend and I didn't know what would happen over the course of the next year I had my newborn child in the front row and the profoundness of Charlie's life and his effect on me is was pretty simple in that moment as I just believe that I witnessed a miracle there is no more Charlie there won't that like you get sort of one of these sort of profit figures in your life Charlie was a profit He was a martyr the only way to interpret his life is not through again political numbers vote registration or GDP it's through the acts of God and Charlie's life was a miracle and we all got to witness a miracle I got to witness a miracle close up and personal as Charlie reached into my life and saved my life multiple times through the power of Christ

51:51into the glory of Christ and so that that that the lasting legacy of Charlie for me and for millions and millions and millions across the country and And we simply tried to crystallize that in the speech that we gave one year ago approximately Charlie's funeral and so I'll leave you with this Ladies and gentlemen on this show We love you. We care about you. This is what we're going to be building here. This is the purpose of what we're doing and We're not ashamed of it. There is no higher purpose than to try and preserve this land for our children and our children's children Charlie certainly showed us the way. So this is what all I Stand by every word of this May God bless you We're going to keep fighting today

53:01You Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Benny Johnson Fight for Charlie Kirk who feels the Holy Spirit in the house tonight Who can feel that revival happening right now How does it always work what man intends for evil God intends for good Evil thought that there'd be a funeral today God has created a revival right here in this house right now You

54:02Charlie always had that revival energy didn't he when Charlie first met me. I was a degenerate loser. I'm still loser but I was addicted to alcohol I had no wife. I had no kids. I had nothing going for me After 10 years of work with Charlie Kirk after his witnessing to my life I have become a Christ-centered man. I am happily married to the woman of my dream sitting right there With our youngest son who just turned eight today eight months And he's wearing ducks for Charlie's beloved Oregon ducks today. That's baby wittaker in honor of Charlie All of you had a Charlie moment in your life didn't you Raise your hand of Charlie Kirk centered you a little closer to Christ Did Charlie help you achieve your American dream a little bit more? Did Charlie have that effect look at every single hand stand up say

55:06Amen if Charlie Kirk had that effect on your life Look at this 100,000 Americans millions watching online standing up and saying that is the revival spirit of Charlie Kirk's life And that is the power of martyrdom Because Charlie Kirk is a martyr in the true Christian tradition If you take out a tyrant His power goes away you cut down a martyr his power grows And that's what we see time and time again. We're seeing it across this country Who's seen the full churches the full parking lots Who knows somebody now who's a Satanist or an agnostic Who's now looking at Charlie's life in this revival moment in our country and going

56:06Maybe I got it all wrong maybe I do need a Christ center my life This is what Charlie always wanted this how he wanted to be remembered In the mold of Stephen the first martyr Stephen was killed For speaking the truth about Christ much like Charlie Kirk The martyr Stephen was the same ages Charlie Kirk when he was martyred At that time Christianity was just a few very scared Christians in Jerusalem And after Stephen's martyrdom Christianity spread throughout the known world The power of martyrdom This is how God and Christ always advances his kingdom and he's doing it right now with Charlie Kirk It is a wonderful thing to see we were all witness To a miracle Charlie's life was a miracle we could all see it those who worked up close

57:08And those who watched from far away We got to witness a miracle in Charlie's life Someone who was there That day when Stephen was martyred was Saul Saul was the one who was taking the garments so that Stephen could be killed And through Stephen's martyrdom the apostle Paul was reached by Christ To go out and write the majority of the New Testament There was no one who was irredeemable And That is what Charlie would have wanted us to know about his faith in Jesus Christ The power of Christ's blood and the power of martyrdom speaks through Charlie The apostle Paul would go on to write the book of Romans And I just like to close with this In Romans 13 the apostle Paul talks about a godly government instituted

58:08By our lord and savior and what does he describe The apostle Paul describes how god establishes the rulers of the nations In the audience right now there are rulers of our land represented right here is the state department the department of war the department of justice the chief executive God has instituted them god has given them power over our nation and our land God saved our president president truck from an assassin's bullet for this moment And And what Does the apostle Paul and Romans say about a godly leadership

59:09He says that rulers wheeled the sword for the protection of good men And for the terror of evil men May we pray that our rulers here rightfully instituted and given power by our god wheeled the sword for the terror of evil men in our nation in Charlie's memory I I want to live in a country where the evil are terrified and where the good and the faithful and the moral people of our nation Can live in peace debate in peace disagree in peace and start families in peace And so we want to thank the administration for being here and carrying out that godly mission

1:00:12Of wielding the sword against evil In conclusion I'd be remiss if I didn't say this to all of the young men in the audience and I can see so many young men out there Charlie really reached young men and women But this is the advice that Charlie gave me Center your life on Christ Fall in love Get married have a million kids and live out your American dream And by doing that we can create millions and millions and millions and millions of Charlie curks And we can save our land that will be our turning point god bless you you And god bless Charlie Kirk. He's looking down on us smiling from heaven
