Now bring in visiting scholar at Ole Miss, Gad said.
00:00:03.320
Professor, you heard Erica speak so well about good versus evil
00:00:08.420
and a battle between them that needs to be waged,
00:00:14.320
not physically, not violently, but through ideas and through passion
00:00:25.080
Well, speaking of evil versus goodness, I was astonished in seeing her poison grace.
00:00:34.200
It would be perfectly reasonable from an evolutionary perspective
00:00:42.460
and yet 48 hours after Charlie's murder, she's able to come address the nation
00:00:50.560
And to the extent that she's able to do what seems to me like a superhuman ability,
00:00:58.940
But what I wanted to do, perhaps to sort of end the show on a positive and good note,
00:01:03.440
take us into the weekend to the extent that we can do such a thing in such a tragic case.
00:01:08.140
You know, teenagers are difficult to get their attention.
00:01:11.420
I have a 16-year-old teenage daughter who it's hard to wrestle her away from her iPhone and so on.
00:01:18.560
And I've spoken to a lot of, I have a lot of famous and powerful and impressive friends.
00:01:28.400
and, hey, Daddy, do you think that when you talk today to Charlie Kirk on a show,
00:01:37.160
She didn't ask me that when I was going to chat with Elon Musk.
00:01:41.120
She didn't ask me that when I've got a litany of famous professors who want to talk to me.
00:01:45.380
But when Charlie Kirk was going to chat with me, she turned into, you know, a little fangirl.
00:01:54.220
And I think Turning Point is in good hands based on what I just saw from Erica.
00:02:03.540
She's never asked me to have a picture with anybody.
00:02:17.820
You can see that his spirit is living on through Erica.
00:02:23.520
And she will be a force of nature for a long time to come.
00:02:31.700
So, indeed, and, you know, in evolutionary theory, there's this principle of birds of a feather flock together for a happy marriage.
00:02:40.100
You want people to assort together that have similar values and so on.
00:02:44.940
Boy, I've never seen it more in practice than now seeing Erica, because I already knew Charlie well, and I knew that he was a gem.
00:02:52.120
But now seeing Erica, I get why they chose each other.
00:02:55.500
Yeah, and they would have been the perfect power couple, perhaps president and first lady.
00:03:04.260
And she did say that if he if he ever was going to run for office, his top priority would be to revive the American family.
00:03:12.620
And in a beautiful and strange way, his assassination may revive the American family.
