Dr. Ben Carson spoke at AmFest 2025 on Saturday. He had some very kind words to honor Charlie Kirk.
“I miss Charlie, like so many of you do,” Carson said.
“You kind of have to look at it from the perspective of eternity. From that perspective, if you are here for one day, 31 years, 120 years, it’s a snap of the finger against the backdrop of eternity,” Carson said.
“For his snap of the finger, how many lives did Charlie impact? That’s what we should be thinking about,” Carson continued.
Dr. Carson also expressed his gratitude for being able to live in the United States.
“We are so lucky. We are so lucky to live in this country. Have you ever thought about it?” Carson asked.
“We are extraordinarily blessed, and we need to keep it that way. But our founders wanted not only that, they wanted a place where people could live in freedom and where the will of the people would be respected,” Dr. Carson continued.
“It’s 250 years later, and we are still here,” Carson continued.
“We’ve become a land of promise for so many people,” Carson said.
Dr. Carson explained that our adversaries would defeat us militarily if they could. Since they lack that ability, he said they would instead subvert institutions like education, media and faith.
“If they could overcome us militarily, they would do it, but they can’t. We are too powerful,” Carson said.
“I think you might think about our education system. Could we possibly infiltrate the teacher unions, and the public schools, so that we can indoctrinate the children? Could we gain control of the media of Hollywood, so that we can change the culture of the people? Should we do everything we can to destroy the American family, the traditional family?” Carson said of those who want to destroy American values.
“Should we infiltrate the churches and convince the ministers to preach the social gospel rather than the gospel that is in the book of the Bible about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who has saved all of us?” Carson asked of those hostile to the Christian faith.
Dr. Carson also said that those opposed to the traditional values of America would attack our founding fathers by trying to discredit them.
“Should we discredit the American Constitution, make it old fashioned and out of step? Should we discredit the founders of our country?” Carson said of those who oppose the great founding of our nation.
Dr. Carson told the crowd that slavery existed in numerous countries. What made the United States unique is that we wanted to get rid of it and made major sacrifices to get rid of the evil practice.
“The thing that really made America unique is that we had so many people who vehemently opposed the evil institution, that they fought a bloody civil war and lost a large portion of the population to get rid of it,” Carson explained.
