Rita talks about the powerful, remarkable moment from the Charlie Kirk's memorial service in Glendale, Arizona, where Kirk's widow, Erica Kirk, expressed forgiveness for her husband's assassin, a testament to faith that left many in tears. Erica also drew a sharp contrast, noting that Charlie’s supporters handled his murder with "revival," without the violence or rioting seen in other movements. The show discusses Charlie Kirk’s mission of dialogue—even reaching out to liberal commentators like Van Jones for a civil debate shortly before his death—while confronting the despicable mockery coming from members of "the squad," including AOC, who condemned Kirk as ignorant and hateful while opposing a resolution honoring him. Also featured: President Trump’s words of comfort for Erica Kirk, listener reactions to the act of forgiveness, and political debates concerning New York City’s future leadership.
