Patrick Bet-David was on-stage running a huge live event when the Charlie Kirk news broke yesterday.

Many in the audience didn’t even know it had happened.

In that moment you have choices…

You can run off stage, fearing for your own safety, or you can do what PBD did which is to stand strong, make the announcement and lead the crowd forward.

Powerful moment, watch here:

TRANSCRIPT:

How many of you guys know what just happened last hour, uh, hour and 15 minutes?

Who has no clue what just happened last hour and 15 minutes?

Hour and 15 minutes, we’ve been going back and forth. Report just came 5 minutes ago, Charlie Kirk was shot and he’s dead. Yes.

When I’m coming on the stage, I was coming on the stage to start a prayer for him, because it wasn’t announced.

Vinny comes up and tells me, “Charlie’s dead.”

Kelly comes and signals to me, “Charlie’s dead.”

We’ve had Charlie on the podcast. I think Charlie’s a very important guy in America for our youth. It’s weird, I mentioned his name yesterday.

Do you remember? Yesterday I said Dylan was watching his debates the other day on his own, and a story like this takes place.

The back I’m like, “You gotta be kidding me for a story like this.” Beautiful family. By the way, forget about political differences. Some of you guys may not like the guy, some of you guys may like him, but an event like this…

You look at the top 15 things that are trending right now on X.

Look at ’em. The last thing we need is things like this to raise the temperature. Breaks my heart. Young man, 31 years old, family.

And when you see events like this, you know what it does? Many people react in a place of fear. Security’s in the back, “Do you wanna hit the stage?”

Of course I’m gonna hit the stage. What do you mean? Dude, this is not how we roll.

You think America accidentally became the greatest country in the world?

You think this happened because we didn’t have courage?

You think this happened because we didn’t have to fight?

You think this happened because our leaders, the Founding Fathers were scared? No.

We’re the luckiest people alive.

But in moments like this, we can either get our temperature to go high, lose our cool, react accordingly, or we can calm the nerves down and become examples and leaders, simultaneously staying tough, calling out the truth, and being willing to fight for this guy who’s been pouring into what he believes in.

All Charlie did is he loved America.

So if you don’t mind, with your permission, I would like to bring Tom up to give a prayer before we finish this session.

Is that okay with you?
