| 0:00.0 | It is September 11th, 2025 here on the Wall Builder Show. |
| 0:12.6 | A tough show to do today, guys. |
| 0:14.3 | This is not only the anniversary, of course, of 9-11, but good friend, all three of us, Charlie Kirk, |
| 0:24.7 | a martyr yesterday. I don't even know what the right word is. Murdered, assassinated. I think martyred is the correct word. And so a lot to discuss. It's early in the morning on 9-11, as far as we |
| 0:32.5 | know at this point. The shooter has not been, the murderer has not been apprehended. Maybe by the time this program |
| 0:38.6 | airs, that will have happened. But the guys in incredible life in 31 years, Charlie had more of an |
| 0:46.1 | impact than the next thousand guys in 80 years of each life. And so we're thankful to have |
| 0:52.3 | served with him. He died doing what he loves and standing up for |

| 1:40.3 | And as he was coming up, he said, guys, I just got word that Charlie Kirk was just shot. |
| 1:46.2 | And in the room of pastors, there were several pastors connected to Turning Point Faith, |
| 1:52.3 | which, of course, all of us have done stuff with Turning Point Faith with Charlie Kirk. And things outside of that, we've known Charlie for a lot of years. But it was a really somber time |
| 2:00.0 | there for the pastor's briefing. next several congressmen we had some |
| 2:03.8 | that couldn't come because some committees but some that were having to navigate conversations |
