“If you thought my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea… You have no idea what you have just released across this entire nation, across the world."
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump from the Oval Office has just addressed the assassination of Charlie Kirk and declared he will go after those who perpetrate political violence.
"My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it, as well as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials, and everyone else who brings order to our country."
"I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions, tonight all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror."
"From the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania last year, which killed a husband and father, to the attacks on ICE agents, to the vicious murder of a healthcare executive in the streets of New York, to the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and three others. Radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives. "
"Tonight, I ask all Americans to commit themselves to the American values for which Charlie Kirk lived and died, the values of free speech, citizenship, the rule of law."
"His legacy will live on for countless generations to come. Today, because of this heinous act, Charlie's voice has become bigger and grander than ever before, and it's not even close. May God bless his memory. May God watch over his family."
We don't know exactly what caused the Potomac crash. That's what investigations are for. But President Trump is absolutely correct that for years, across both the Obama and Biden administrations, Democrats put lives at risk by choosing to prioritize diversity over merit and ability.
As just one example among many: The Buttigieg DOT made a hiring push targeted at increasing employment of people with "severe intellectual disability" and "psychiatric disorders."
Imagine waking up and thinking "Folks, I feel like we don't have enough psychotic or mentally handicapped air traffic controllers." That was the Biden Department of Transportation.
The miracle is that we don’t have more plane crashes.
The NASA Janitor
***
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy visited NASA.
The year prior, he made his famous proclamation:
The United States would put a man on the moon by the end of the 60s.
On his visit, the story goes, he meets a janitor.
The man is sweeping the hallways when JFK approaches him.
“Hi, I’m Jack Kennedy,” he says to the janitor. “What are you doing?”
The janitor responds:
“Mr. President, I’m helping put a man on the moon.”
***
This story may be legend more than truth.
Regardless, it has a powerful lesson:
To the janitor, his work was meaningful.
He did not simply sweep dust.
By cleaning hallways, he:
• Provided a safe work environment
• Supported the NASA engineers
• Contributed to the mission
The janitor had what so many want.
He had a sense of purpose.
***
There are many reasons we work.
• To make money
• To find fulfillment
• To improve our lives
Everyone has their own motivations.
But we all want a sense of purpose.
We all want to know our time isn’t wasted.
We all want to believe we’re doing good.
***
How do you find purpose in your work?
Here’s the simplest approach I’ve found:
• Identify WHO you serve
• Clarify WHY you serve them
• Connect HOW your work contributes
Then remind yourself of that every day.
You’re not just doing a job.
You’re putting someone on your version of the moon.
