- 0:01Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, we come to you tonight in sadness, but
- 0:05Speaker 1: also with grateful hearts because we know that your truth endoors.
- 0:10Speaker 1: We know where our dear brother and friend, Charlie is.
- 0:14Speaker 1: We thank you that he is receiving his reward and
- 0:16Speaker 1: that he's heard those words that we all are started hear.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Well done. Who is a faerver?
- 0:21Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
- 0:25Speaker 4: Good Monday morning. It's so nice to have you with
- 0:27Speaker 4: us on the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got
- 0:29Speaker 4: one major story for you, but it's two different aspects.
- 0:33Speaker 4: The sadness around the passing of Charlie Kirk after his
- 0:36Speaker 4: assassination is now turning into love and churches filled with
- 0:41Speaker 4: people seeking a higher call and answers from God, which
- 0:46Speaker 4: is exactly what Charlie would have won it. We're also
- 0:49Speaker 4: seeing accountability for those on the radical left, the extremists
- 0:54Speaker 4: that have been celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But
- 0:58Speaker 4: first I want to talk to you about my friends
- 1:00Speaker 4: over at Patriot Mobile. You've got a lot of choices
- 1:03Speaker 4: for cell phone service, with new ones popping up all
- 1:06Speaker 4: the time, but if you want to make a difference,
- 1:09Speaker 4: and you want to stop giving your money to liberal companies, Well,
- 1:13Speaker 4: one way you can do that is by getting rid
- 1:15Speaker 4: of Liberal Mobile you probably have right now. That is
- 1:18Speaker 4: where hundreds of thousands of Americans are now coming together
- 1:22Speaker 4: and have made Patriot Mobile what they are today. They've
- 1:25Speaker 4: been in service now for thirteen years, and right now
- 1:29Speaker 4: is the best time ever to switch, because it's never
- 1:32Speaker 4: been easier. Now, before I tell you about that, I
- 1:35Speaker 4: want you to know why switching is so important. Because
- 1:38Speaker 4: every time you make a call, every time you send
- 1:40Speaker 4: a text, and every time that you pay your bill,
- 1:42Speaker 4: you're actually standing up for the values you believe in
- 1:45Speaker 4: your First and your Second Amendment rights, the rights of
- 1:48Speaker 4: unborn children, and you stand with our military, our veterans,
- 1:51Speaker 4: are wounded warriors, and our fallen soldier families. Because Patriot
- 1:55Speaker 4: Mobile takes about five percent of your bill every month
- 1:58Speaker 4: at no extra cost to you, you and they give
- 2:00Speaker 4: it back to these organizations that fight for our values. Now,
- 2:05Speaker 4: let's talk about switching. It has never been easier. You
- 2:07Speaker 4: can keep your same number, keep your same phone, or upgrade.
- 2:11Speaker 4: Patriot Mobile's got a one hundred percent US based customer
- 2:14Speaker 4: service team and literally they can now with technology, get
- 2:17Speaker 4: you activated in minutes from the comforty your home or
- 2:20Speaker 4: your office. You're second of contract or owe money on
- 2:23Speaker 4: your phones, no worries. Patriot Mobile has a contract buyout
- 2:27Speaker 4: program and this is how we win, folks by aligning
- 2:31Speaker 4: our spending with our values. Every dollar we spend matters. Now,

- 3:07Speaker 4: starts right now.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Story number one.
- 3:10Speaker 4: There are two things that are happening right now in
- 3:13Speaker 4: this country because of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. One
- 3:17Speaker 4: is truly a spiritual revival we are witnessing right now
- 3:21Speaker 4: as attendance at church across the country in many places
- 3:25Speaker 4: was as high as it is on Easter Sunday and
- 3:28Speaker 4: Christmas Eve services. We are also witnessing a younger generation
- 3:33Speaker 4: who is now proudly standing up like never before for
- 3:37Speaker 4: what they believe in instead of being bullied into silence
- 3:41Speaker 4: by the radical left. We are also getting to know
- 3:43Speaker 4: the stories of Charlie Kirk and just how dedicated he
- 3:47Speaker 4: was to what he believed in. There's also a second
- 3:51Speaker 4: part of this story, and that is the accountability for
- 3:54Speaker 4: the radical left. We are witnessing now. Leftists who celebrated
- 4:00Speaker 4: Arlie Kirk's assassination are being held accountable, being fired at
- 4:04Speaker 4: a rapid rate, and conservatives are uniting to make sure
- 4:08Speaker 4: that these individuals, especially at high schools and colleges, are
- 4:12Speaker 4: no longer in a position to indoctrinate a generation to
- 4:16Speaker 4: believing that violence is the way to silence speech that
- 4:21Speaker 4: you disagree with. Before we get into all of that, though,
- 4:25Speaker 4: I want you to hear some truly inspiring words by
- 4:29Speaker 4: the pastor of Charlie Kirk and what he had to
- 4:33Speaker 4: say about Charlie, his friend and his passing. Listen carefully.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk is irreplaceable.
- 4:42Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk is a once in a generation mind and
- 4:47Speaker 5: soul and anointing and heart. Charlie Kirk was a rare
- 4:52Speaker 5: combination of evangelist, apologist, and political strategist. One of our
- 4:58Speaker 5: most recent communications, he said, thank you.
- 5:01Speaker 2: I have a ton of questions.
- 5:02Speaker 5: I didn't ask for it, but I have become a
- 5:04Speaker 5: high profile defender of the faith.
- 5:07Speaker 2: I need to be the best I can.
- 5:09Speaker 5: I said, I'd be honored to serve for free, invisibly
- 5:12Speaker 5: as needed. You have an anointing to steward and it's massive.
- 5:15Speaker 5: Proud of you and pray for you and your family daily.
- 5:20Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk and I had been communicating. I was on
- 5:24Speaker 5: vacation with my wife and he was asking one week
- 5:26Speaker 5: could get together for a half day. He had a
- 5:28Speaker 5: bunch of questions about the Christian faith that he wanted
- 5:31Speaker 5: to wipe bard out, and I told him it would
- 5:33Speaker 5: be a great honor of my life to try and
- 5:35Speaker 5: serve him.
- 5:36Speaker 2: He told me that he.
- 5:38Speaker 5: Felt like God gave him this platform an opportunity so
- 5:42Speaker 5: that he could become an evangelist and apologist to the
- 5:45Speaker 5: next generation. He wanted to make it his primary message
- 5:50Speaker 5: and life work to proclaim the good news of the
- 5:53Speaker 5: Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is evangelism, and then defend
- 5:58Speaker 5: it by answering criticism's questions and objections, which is called apologetics,
- 6:03Speaker 5: which means to defend the faith. Charlie Kirk stepped into
- 6:08Speaker 5: a level of spiritual warfare that I believe moved him
- 6:11Speaker 5: to the top of the enemy's hit list and to
- 6:14Speaker 5: some degree contributed to his assassination, his murder, and has
- 6:18Speaker 5: martyrdom today. And I do not use those words lightly.
- 6:20Speaker 5: Those are entirely accurate and fit the description of the
- 6:24Speaker 5: demonic activity that we saw today. Charlie wanted people to
- 6:29Speaker 5: meet Jesus Christ, and he wanted to do the best
- 6:32Speaker 5: job that he could presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
- 6:35Speaker 5: And as a result, Charlie was going to campuses and
- 6:39Speaker 5: he was proclaiming Jesus and he was answering questions. And
- 6:44Speaker 5: he was a generational master in doing what the Bible says,
- 6:50Speaker 5: and that is to give an answer to everyone for
- 6:53Speaker 5: the hope that you have with gentleness and respect. He
- 6:56Speaker 5: was a joyful, happy warrior. He had a great smile,
- 7:01Speaker 5: He was kind to his enemies. He tried to have
- 7:04Speaker 5: a good time, even when they were trying to give
- 7:06Speaker 5: him a bad time. His impact on this generation cannot
- 7:10Speaker 5: be overstated. I believe it is absolutely non hyperbolic to
- 7:15Speaker 5: say that he is the greatest conservative voice of this
- 7:19Speaker 5: generation alive on planet Earth. And one of the last
- 7:22Speaker 5: times I saw him was backstage. It was actually some
- 7:27Speaker 5: months ago, I believe, when JD. Vance was in town
- 7:31Speaker 5: and Charlie invited me to come meet JD in the
- 7:33Speaker 5: greenroom and hang out with him.
- 7:34Speaker 2: And I walked in with a big smile.
- 7:36Speaker 5: He gave me a big hug and he said, he said,
- 7:39Speaker 5: I need you to be praying for me, Pastor. I said, absolutely,
- 7:42Speaker 5: I pray for Charlie every day my wife and I have,
- 7:45Speaker 5: and for his beautiful family. He said, he said, I
- 7:48Speaker 5: think they're going to try and kill me. And he said,
- 7:50Speaker 5: if we lose, I think they're going to incarcerate me.
- 7:52Speaker 5: Here's a young man with a family who's willing to
- 7:57Speaker 5: sacrifice his own life and well being and the joy
- 8:01Speaker 5: he had with a wife whom he very much loved
- 8:03Speaker 5: and children that he completely adored for the sake of
- 8:06Speaker 5: selfless service and sacrifice out of love for others.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Charlie is was and will.
- 8:13Speaker 5: Forever be one of the most significant men who walked
- 8:17Speaker 5: on planet Earth in his generation.
- 8:19Speaker 4: You listen to Charlie's pastor there talking about how much
- 8:23Speaker 4: he wanted to prepare, how much he wanted to make
- 8:25Speaker 4: sure that he was prepared for the questions about the
- 8:29Speaker 4: Gospel about his faith being an apologist. That is how
- 8:33Speaker 4: much he cared about spreading the Gospel to the world.
- 8:37Speaker 4: There's also incredible things that have come out of this.
- 8:39Speaker 4: I'll give you an example of that that happened and
- 8:42Speaker 4: was just sent to me a moment ago. Jadie Vance,
- 8:44Speaker 4: the Vice President the United States of America, will have
- 8:47Speaker 4: the quote honor as he put out on social media
- 8:49Speaker 4: of hosting the Charlie Kirk Show. He said, please join
- 8:52Speaker 4: me as I paid tribute to my friend. Apparently he
- 8:55Speaker 4: will be doing this from the White House. There's also
- 9:00Speaker 4: part of what Charlie's legacy was, and it was an
- 9:02Speaker 4: important one, was making sure that the left didn't get
- 9:05Speaker 4: a hold of our children indoctrinate them the way they've
- 9:08Speaker 4: been doing it in such a radical way. And we're
- 9:11Speaker 4: now witnessing leftists who celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination are being
- 9:15Speaker 4: fired at a rapid pace. Those leftists who celebrate the
- 9:19Speaker 4: assassination of Charlie are now facing serious consequences, consequences of
- 9:24Speaker 4: sunlight after they were excited that Charlie was murdered. Others
- 9:28Speaker 4: are being identified and called out, then placed on leave
- 9:31Speaker 4: or suspension. According to a running thread that keeps count
- 9:34Speaker 4: on social media platform x as you know, we understand
- 9:39Speaker 4: how extreme the left has become, but what we are
- 9:42Speaker 4: witnessing right now is that there are many who are
- 9:45Speaker 4: dedicating their time to exposing far left radicals, and one
- 9:49Speaker 4: of those groups, Libs of TikTok, is doing a lot
- 9:52Speaker 4: of the heavy lifting when it comes to pointing out
- 9:54Speaker 4: how much violence and hate are still brewing on the
- 9:57Speaker 4: left regarding Charlie. A teacher, for example, at King Elementary
- 10:01Speaker 4: School post a video online appearing to celebrate Charlie being assassinated.
- 10:05Speaker 4: This person teaches your children. Any comments and guess what
- 10:09Speaker 4: happened when that was posted about a teacher at King
- 10:14Speaker 4: Elementary School. There has now been accountability. There was another
- 10:17Speaker 4: post by another teacher at another high school in Maine,
- 10:21Speaker 4: and what happened there? She said, we're not offering sympathy.
- 10:25Speaker 4: Moments after Charlie Kirk was shot. This teacher has also
- 10:28Speaker 4: been exposed. Republican activist Scott Pressler is also creating a
- 10:33Speaker 4: database of such behavior and encouraging his followers to send
- 10:37Speaker 4: him any examples that they see online. Another Pennsylvania teacher
- 10:41Speaker 4: by the name of Susan another high school. One of
- 10:44Speaker 4: Presler's posts made it clear this is a woman who said, so, yeah,
- 10:47Speaker 4: I don't really care that someone shot him dead.
- 10:50Speaker 2: F him.
- 10:51Speaker 4: This is another teacher teaching your children, and so yes,
- 10:55Speaker 4: there is some accountability for the radical left that has
- 10:58Speaker 4: been creating the these killers, these monsters.
