| 0:00.0 | It's been a few days, but I'll be honest. |
| 0:03.0 | It is still a sharp and terrible grief. |
| 0:05.0 | When I heard Charlie Kirk had been shot, I hopped over to X. |
| 0:08.0 | I wanted to see what had happened. |
| 0:10.0 | I thought it would be a Ronald Reagan-type flub or a Butler PA close call. |
| 0:15.0 | But instead, I watched him slump over and die. |
| 0:23.6 | The horror of what happened continues to reverberate throughout America and the world. |
| 0:29.6 | And there's a sense, as many have now said, that the Rubicon has been crossed. |
| 0:33.6 | Something has been shattered that can never be replaced. Everyone has been confronted with a very |

| 1:52.0 | I call heaven and earth today to witness against you. I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. |
| 2:00.0 | Choose life then that you and your |
| 2:02.8 | descendants may live. We all face that choice sooner or later. Charlie gave one answer, his |
| 2:09.5 | killer gave another, and in Charlie's martyrdom, his witness to life, he asked the same question of us. |
| 2:23.7 | Do you ever feel like your money is working against your values instead of for them? That is no way to build a future for your children and grandchildren. |
