Hey friends, welcome back to Spot On with Link Lauren.

Of course, later in the show, we're going to talk about President Trump's upcoming trip to the UK.

We're going to break it all down. We have the whole schedule of what they're going to do with Princess Catherine, Prince William, King Charles, Camilla.

We are going to get into all of it. But we are still reeling from the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Over the weekend, there were many

vigils across the country. There were so many vigils. There was a famous vigil last night at the

Kennedy Center that millions of people tuned in to watch on the live stream. It feels like there

is this revival happening across the country where people want to come together with like-minded

individuals who have conservative values, common sense values, who share their faith. Even if they don't share the exact same faith, they know what they're not, right? They know and are realizing what we're up against in this country. And so it's really warmed my heart to see how millions of people, millions of people have come together. I mean, in some of these small towns, they're getting thousands, tens of thousands of people. I've never seen anything like this. In the Kennedy Center Vigil, I was so upset and bummed that I couldn't be there. I really did feel a sense of FOMO because I've been feeling a little alone, watching everything and feeling a little bit down. But even watching the live stream, I felt better after watching it. It didn't

have a downer feel to it. There was something uplifting about it and trying to make the best of one of the

most horrific situations. And how can we take what Charlie Kirk stood for? How can we take his

messages and what he espouse and run with them and use them to make the country a better place because the last thing Charlie Kirk would want is for us to go and retreat and sit inside and not go out. And so people say, you know what? We're going to come gather. We're going to get together. The Kennedy Center event, as far as I understood, was free. It was packed the gills. You had people in line trying to get outside. They had overflow. And this is in Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C., which we talk about all the time is a deep blue area. Deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, blue, about as deep as this background behind me. And they turned out thousands, thousands. They had to turn people away, which shows you there really is this revival happening. And then I heard from so

many people over the weekend, they said, I haven't been to church in years. I haven't been to church at all. I want to go give it a try. I'm going to go to church and see if there's something there for me. There's something I can glean in this moment. I actually got messages from some people saying, I don't know how to go to church.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

Do you just show up?

Yes.

And almost every church, as far as I understand, you can just show up. The churches I belong to, you can show up. You can get to know people. And it's usually a pretty inviting congregation. And there are also churches across the country, meaning people just getting together, right? There are folks who got together in prayer at these vigils, and that to me is church in and of itself, because it's people

coming together for a common cause to comfort each other, to give each other solace. And I think

this Charlie Kirk situation just really hit people because President Trump's assassination attempt

on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania, the subsequent

assassination attempt with Ryan Ruth in Florida, he was able to escape death narrowly, right?

President Trump was spared.
