Following Harrison Butker&#8217;s address, which emphasized the significance of unwavering faith, \u2062Butker&#8217;s bold defense of his Catholic values was\u2063 warmly received,\u2064 earning him support from figures like Andy Reid.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p>NASHVILLE \u2014 Daily Wire host Matt Walsh said during a keynote address on Friday night that conservatives \u201care called to courage in these times\u201d to stand up to the deadly progression of leftist ideology.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh\u2019s speech at the \u201cCourage Under Fire\u201d event in Nashville was preceded by an address from Chiefs star kicker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/exclusive-chiefs-kicker-harrison-butker-breaks-silence-says-he-will-continue-to-be-unapologetic-catholic?topStoryPosition=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harrison Butker<\/a>, who made his first public remarks on Friday night following his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/meltdown-kc-outlet-publishes-piece-saying-chiefs-should-replace-harrison-butker-with-a-woman-after-viral-speech\/\" title=\"KC Outlet Suggests Chiefs Replace Butker with Woman Post Viral Speech\">viral commencement speech<\/a> at a Catholic university that caused a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/leftists-melt-down-over-nfl-kickers-speech-slamming-biden-lgbtq-pride-petition-demands-team-dismiss-him\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leftist meltdown<\/a>. In his speech, Butker said that the \u201cshocking level of hate\u201d he has received will not deter him from being \u201cunapologetic\u201d about his faith.<\/p>\n<p>During Walsh\u2019s speech, the Daily Wire host addressed the dangerous ideology of progressivism, which he said \u201cprogresses in the way that cancer progresses,\u201d and told those in the audience that leftism can be fought against with \u201cjust enough courage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll that matters to the progressive woke person is the individual ego, the individual\u2019s desire,\u201d Walsh said. \u201cEverything in the world exists to service that and whatever stands in the way of his immediate pleasure and satisfaction, or whatever he perceives to be standing in its way, must be annihilated. It must not exist. It has no right to exist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walsh added that he is regularly asked by conservatives what the woke progressives\u2019 end goal is when they try to redefine words, history, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-lefts-forced-birth-motif-is-just-a-projection-of-its-own-lethal-force\/\" title=\"The Left\u2019s \u2018Forced Birth\u2019 Motif Is Just A Projection Of Its Own Lethal Force\">basic biological reality<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, there is no plan,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can tear down the statues. You redefine the words, you bring the institutions crumbling down, sever the bonds of the family. And when that\u2019s done, keep doing it in an endless cycle of destruction. See, there is no step two to this plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Left\u2019s hatred for conservative family values was made evident in the past week as highlighted by Walsh\u2019s fellow speaker, Butker. The three-time Super Bowl champion said during his speech on Friday, \u201cIf it wasn\u2019t clear that the timeless Catholic values are hated by many, it is now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my seven years in the NFL, I\u2019ve become familiar with positive and negative comments. But the majority of them revolve around my performance on the field,\u201d Butker added. \u201cBut, as to be expected, the more I\u2019ve talked about what I value most, my Catholic faith, the more polarizing I\u2019ve become. It\u2019s a decision I\u2019ve consciously made, and one I do not regret at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BREAKING: In first public remarks since his commencement speech sparked a liberal meltdown, Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker makes very clear he\u2019s not backing down from his faith. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/buttkicker7?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@buttkicker7<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/q3Vh0KpvTg\">pic.twitter.com\/q3Vh0KpvTg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDailyWire\/status\/1794170364903444683?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 25, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>  Butker\u2019s unapologetic stand for his faith and traditional values was applauded by those in attendance at the gala, which was put on by Regina Caeli Academy, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-chiefs-kicker-harrison-butker-breaks-silence-says-he-will-continue-to-be-unapologetic-catholic\/\" title=\"Breaking News: Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker Affirms Unapologetic Catholic Stance\">classical homeschool hybrid academy<\/a> for Catholic families.

Shame on us all the more for failing to show it,\u201d he added. \u201cWe just need enough courage. Just enough to speak the truth. And then just let the chips fall where they may.
