[00:14:46] [Music] [00:14:50] Rumble, which you and I really care [00:14:51] about, is ascending. I think there's [00:14:54] some chatter already in Silicon Valley [00:14:55] of what are we going to do about these [00:14:56] Rumble guys? [00:14:58] >> Charlie was one of the few that really [00:15:00] did it for for the purpose of forwarding [00:15:04] free speech. the actual idea of like [00:15:06] doing something great for America. [00:15:12] >> The Charlie Kirk show is not going [00:15:14] anywhere. My husband's voice will live [00:15:17] on. [00:15:18] We will never be silenced. [00:15:22] [Applause] [00:15:32] [Applause] [00:15:37] Do you want to change the country? [00:15:38] >> We are turning for USA's national field [00:15:40] program [00:15:41] >> and we're hiring. [00:15:42] >> Are you looking for a challenging [00:15:43] career? [00:15:44] >> Something you can grow with in an [00:15:45] everanging world. [00:15:47] >> Look, this isn't just a job, it's a [00:15:49] journey of development with the [00:15:50] mentorship to guide you through. [00:15:52] >> Join an organization where your warrior [00:15:54] spirit isn't just welcome, it's [00:15:56] essential. [00:15:56] >> The one thing we can promise you is that [00:15:58] this is a career that will never get [00:15:59] boring. Just ask our biggest fans. So, [00:16:02] what does the field program do? [00:16:03] >> We are recruiting the next generation of [00:16:05] American conservative leaders. [00:16:07] >> We give high school and college students [00:16:09] the necessary resources to start [00:16:11] successful chapters. [00:16:12] >> We are the boots in the ground doing the [00:16:14] hard work no one else will attempt. [00:16:16] >> Whether that's deep in the south or all [00:16:18] the way in California. [00:16:19] >> We plan to host thousands of chapter [00:16:21] events across the nation. [00:16:23] >> Many of our staff in leadership [00:16:24] positions were former chapter leaders [00:16:26] and alumni of Turning Point USA. We [00:16:28] mentor passionate young conservatives [00:16:30] who love their country. [00:16:32] >> Join us [00:16:32] >> late to bed, early to rise, [00:16:34] >> work like hell, and organize. [00:16:43] >> We're we're active in about 15 campuses [00:16:45] and we're growing very very quickly. And [00:16:47] keep in mind, this is not just a flash [00:16:48] in the pan movement. Uh we're going to [00:16:50] become an institution to give them the [00:16:52] power and the confidence to stand up and [00:16:54] let their voice be heard. [00:16:55] >> When I first started this, I was 18. No [00:16:58] idea what I was doing, no connections, [00:17:00] no money, unlimited energy, enthusiasm, [00:17:03] and I actually thought this was [00:17:04] possible, which was kind of crazy if you [00:17:07] think about it. Only in America would an [00:17:09] 18-year-old with no idea what he was [00:17:12] doing, literally no idea, be able to [00:17:13] walk the halls of the Republican [00:17:15] National Convention give out business [00:17:17] cards to every human being that I made [00:17:19] on a little topographical printer say [00:17:21] our we are losing our country. Young [00:17:24] people are the answer. We need to do [00:17:25] more on college campuses. [00:17:28] I want our Turning Point USA students to [00:17:30] receive a round of applause. These are [00:17:32] the freedom fighters of America. This is [00:17:34] the greatest generational realignment [00:17:37] since Woodstock. What they're doing is [00:17:39] one of the hardest things to do in the [00:17:41] United States of America. They are [00:17:42] deciding to be less popular on campus. [00:17:45] They are deciding to actually speak out [00:17:48] with a high social cost. They're [00:17:50] deciding even though it might jeopardize [00:17:52] their job, their career or their [00:17:54] reputation to put their country over [00:17:56] themselves. [00:17:57] >> I used to be a Bernie Sanders supporter. [00:18:00] It was one of your video that really [00:18:02] woke me up and then you're an [00:18:04] inspiration. Awesome. Thank you. [00:18:06] >> You are why I do what I do. [00:18:08] >> So, which way you leaning? I get ahead. [00:18:11] >> That's a good answer. [00:18:13] >> Be welcoming. Even if people have [00:18:15] different viewpoints, be open. You guys [00:18:17] on the front lines, starting Turning [00:18:18] Point USA high school chapters, starting [00:18:20] Turning Point USA chapters. You are on [00:18:22] the front lines of saving this country. [00:18:24] And you look around, our numbers are [00:18:26] increasing. We are happier. We are [00:18:28] joyful. We love the nation. College [00:18:30] campuses should be a marketplace of [00:18:32] ideas where you can have debate and [00:18:34] dialogue and discussion where you can [00:18:35] hear something that is different than [00:18:37] the point of view that you're entering [00:18:38] with. [00:18:39] >> Every day you get to fight for what is [00:18:40] good and what is true and beautiful. You [00:18:42] are doing something that is bigger than [00:18:44] you. [00:18:47] Turning point will live longer than me. [00:18:48] That's my mission. [00:19:08] >> Hi folks, you may be hearing a lot about [00:19:10] why refi these days. [00:19:11] >> Student loans are now sitting at 1.8 8 [00:19:15] trillion. [00:19:16] >> You need to talk to Y Refi and they [00:19:18] don't care what your credit score is. [00:19:20] >> My partner and I created this company [00:19:21] with the intention of taking it to help [00:19:23] borrowers get out of debt. [00:19:24] >> Why Refi is the only company in the [00:19:26] country that does what we do. [00:19:27] >> I think very highly Y refi. We're all in [00:19:29] with them. [00:19:29] >> We invited God into our homes. We invite [00:19:31] him into our company. We want to make it [00:19:33] an incentive for you to want to work [00:19:34] with Yi. [00:19:35] >> We give these folks the dignity to pay [00:19:38] back their debt. [00:19:40] Please welcome the chief investment [00:19:42] officer and managing partner of Y Refi, [00:19:45] Lane Shoberger. [00:19:49] [Music] [00:19:53] Hello there. [00:19:56] Wow, what a great crowd. I can feel the [00:19:58] energy. I can feel the excitement and [00:20:00] the momentum. Say again. [00:20:06] >> Hey, welcome here to this amazing event. [00:20:09] Uh, you know, we're we're really proud [00:20:11] to sponsor this amazing tour for Turning [00:20:14] Point. What an opportunity. So, I'd like [00:20:16] to say thank you to the Turning Point [00:20:18] folks for allowing us that opportunity. [00:20:21] My name is Lane Shamberger. I'm the [00:20:22] chief investment officer and founding [00:20:23] partner at Y Refi. And, you know, our [00:20:26] mission is very simple. To help people [00:20:29] get out of probably one of the most [00:20:31] crushing financial situations they may [00:20:34] ever experience, student loan debt. As [00:20:37] you heard on this video, student loan [00:20:39] debt is $1.8 [00:20:41] trillion dollar. It affects 45 million [00:20:44] Americans. [00:20:46] I'm sure there's some of you out there [00:20:47] that have some student loan debt. So, [00:20:50] I'd like to just talk about that for a [00:20:52] quick second. Our mission is simple. We [00:20:53] came up with a way to help you get out [00:20:55] of your student loan debt quickly, [00:20:57] affordably, and a manageable solution [00:21:00] with dignity. Okay? No more predatory [00:21:03] lending. Got to get rid of that. Tired [00:21:05] of it. [00:21:08] So, I I invite you to take a moment and [00:21:11] visit us at yrefi.com. Check it out if [00:21:13] you're if you're a borrower. But I want [00:21:15] to just address something really quick. [00:21:16] You know, as a young person, you have [00:21:18] dreams. You have goals, right? You're [00:21:20] here trying to make yourself a better [00:21:22] person. Uh get the education and those [00:21:25] dreams. And if you're not dreaming, you [00:21:26] need to start dreaming. Okay? Dream big. [00:21:28] I want you to dream big. But those [00:21:30] dreams, they come with a price tag [00:21:32] sometimes. And those price tags can be [00:21:34] very hefty and they can follow you for [00:21:35] decades. Our job is to help you get out [00:21:38] of that debt because I want to just [00:21:40] leave you at this. You don't we don't [00:21:42] define you by your student loan debt. [00:21:45] You are not defined by that. You are not [00:21:48] just a number. You are a human being and [00:21:50] you have goals. And we we hear those [00:21:52] stories all the time at Y refi. They [00:21:54] call in and people talk to us and the [00:21:57] you know student loan debt ruins [00:21:58] families. It ruins futures. It ruins [00:22:00] your freedom. So, we want to get you out [00:22:02] of debt quick. That's what we do at Y [00:22:04] Refi. Okay. Now, to those capitalists [00:22:07] out there, the folks that are looking [00:22:09] for a way to help, we raise all of our [00:22:12] capital by working with indiv [00:22:14] individuals. We don't do anything with [00:22:16] with uh institutions. So, if you're an [00:22:18] accredited investor and you're looking [00:22:20] to do well by doing good, which is our [00:22:22] motto, it's what we do. Okay? Give us a [00:22:25] look at investyrei.com. [00:22:28] That's invest the letter yfy.com. [00:22:32] It'll give you an opportunity to to jump [00:22:34] on the bandwagon and help us with our [00:22:36] mission. Now, I'm going to end on a [00:22:39] couple of things. First, I'd like to say [00:22:42] I had a I had the privilege of of having [00:22:45] a very good friend by the name of [00:22:46] Charlie Kirk who took [00:22:50] [Applause] [00:22:56] Thank you. very special human being as [00:22:58] you all know and and he saw something in [00:23:01] Wy Rei and it was big and it was because [00:23:03] of his willingness to get behind us and [00:23:06] support us. It gave us that drive to get [00:23:08] up and continue to do what we do every [00:23:10] single day. So, I'd just like to say [00:23:14] thank you again to Charlie for for [00:23:15] looking out for Yi for for believing in [00:23:17] who we are and what we do uh and [00:23:20] allowing us this opportunity. [00:23:24] I'm going to end with saying uh I I had [00:23:27] the privilege yesterday a few days ago [00:23:29] of going to the the White House and [00:23:30] watching the presentation of the Medal [00:23:32] of Freedom. What an what an amazing [00:23:40] I I don't even know what to say about [00:23:41] that. After afterwards, I had the [00:23:44] privilege of visiting with Erica for a [00:23:45] few minutes and she showed me the medal [00:23:47] and on the back is the cross that they [00:23:49] engraved and she shared that that's not [00:23:51] something that they do that they did it [00:23:52] for Charlie because he believed in God [00:23:54] and Jesus and and he is home and and I [00:23:57] want to just say thank you very much to [00:23:59] him and Turning Point and everybody [00:24:01] again because this is a real real [00:24:02] pleasure. So, I'm going to end with [00:24:05] this. God bless America. God bless you. [00:24:13] God bless yi Oklahoma State. Enjoy the [00:24:17] show tonight everybody. Thank you.

[00:27:16] If tomorrow all the things were gone, [00:27:20] I'd work for all my life and I had to [00:27:24] start again with just my children and my [00:27:28] wife.

Thank you for giving me a few [00:30:21] minutes to start this very important [00:30:24] evening. [00:30:25] First off, we hear a lot about how [00:30:29] liberal or woke college campuses are. [00:30:32] That may be true, but we're going to [00:30:35] change that starting tonight. [00:30:37] [Applause] [00:30:44] What a great opportunity to celebrate [00:30:47] the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk [00:30:52] and [00:30:54] [Applause] [00:30:56] and engage in this idea that is so [00:31:00] foundational to our country. It's called [00:31:04] free speech. [00:31:05] [Music] [00:31:08] This this event was supposed to be in [00:31:11] the fieldhouse, but it sold out. Sold [00:31:13] out so quickly that they moved it right [00:31:15] here to Lloyd Noble. [00:31:19] You You guys You guys are amazing [00:31:23] filling this up. And I know America is [00:31:27] going to be all right. Just look around.

[00:32:06] [Music] [00:32:08] >> He he would have celebrated his 32nd [00:32:12] birthday just a few few days ago. [00:32:16] During his time on earth, he created a [00:32:19] legacy that honored God. [00:32:22] And one of the last things that he said [00:32:25] that he wanted to be remembered by was [00:32:28] for his courage and for his faith. [00:32:32] And Charlie knew his faith couldn't [00:32:34] thrive in isolation. [00:32:36] He knew that we weren't meant to do life [00:32:39] alone. [00:32:41] He was all about building community. [00:32:44] And I like to say, let's let's do life [00:32:46] together. It's so much more fun to do [00:32:48] life with our friends. [00:32:51] I want you to high-five your neighbor, [00:32:53] the person to your left and the person [00:32:54] to your right, [00:32:59] and [00:33:00] think about think about the people in [00:33:03] your life that are around you, your [00:33:06] roommates, your friends, your family. [00:33:10] I want to ask you a question. Are they [00:33:12] drawing you closer to the Lord? Are they [00:33:15] making you bolder in your faith? [00:33:18] And I love the story of Shadrach, [00:33:21] Meshach, and Abedneo. [00:33:23] These were three young Jewish men living [00:33:26] under the Babylonian king [00:33:28] Nebuchadnezzar. [00:33:30] The king issued a decree that when the [00:33:33] music played, everyone in the kingdom [00:33:36] had to bow down and worship an idol. [00:33:40] I was reading this passage and it struck [00:33:42] me. [00:33:44] How did they react when that music [00:33:46] started to play? How would you react? [00:33:51] If I was Shadrach, I I might have looked [00:33:53] to my left or looked to my right or [00:33:56] looked at my friend Mach or Abindigo and [00:33:59] and wanted to know what they were going [00:34:00] to do. [00:34:02] We all knew the right thing to do. We [00:34:04] all knew that it was wrong to bow to an [00:34:06] idol. [00:34:09] But it's so easy to go with the flow [00:34:11] when you're standing by yourself. It's [00:34:14] easy just to justify, I guess, inaction. [00:34:19] But when those three young men looked at [00:34:21] each other and they all nodded and they [00:34:24] made the choice to do the right thing, [00:34:28] to honor God, to not bow to this world, [00:34:32] to be bold in their actions, [00:34:35] the consequences were severe. [00:34:40] The consequences were severe for Charlie [00:34:43] Kirk. [00:34:45] But let me tell you something. [00:34:48] If you're living just for this world, [00:34:50] you're missing what God has intended for [00:34:53] you. [00:34:56] [Applause] [00:35:03] Mark 16:26 says, "What good will it do [00:35:07] for someone to gain the whole world yet [00:35:10] forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone [00:35:13] give in exchange for their soul?" [00:35:15] God blesses your obedience. [00:35:18] The reason you need to do life in [00:35:20] community is because it's easier to have [00:35:23] a buddy in battle with you. [00:35:25] Ecclesiastics 4:12 tells us, "Though one [00:35:29] may be overpowered, [00:35:32] two can defend themselves [00:35:34] and a cord of three stand strands is not [00:35:37] quickly broken." [00:35:39] I want you to fight isolation in your [00:35:43] generation. [00:35:44] Find friends who are running after God [00:35:47] and living their lives to glorify him. I [00:35:50] want you to encourage each other to [00:35:52] choose. [00:35:54] Choose boldness to choose righteousness. [00:35:59] All of you in this room are deciding [00:36:01] what you want your future to be. [00:36:04] What are your dreams? [00:36:07] What are the desires that God has placed [00:36:09] on your heart? [00:36:11] This reminds me of a story of 12 young [00:36:14] men that were sp sent out to spy on the [00:36:17] promised land. [00:36:19] These were the Navy Seals of their [00:36:22] generation. [00:36:24] The elite of elite, the creme de la [00:36:26] creme. They were the absolute studs of [00:36:29] their generation. [00:36:31] All 12 of them. There was no difference [00:36:33] in them physically. They were all studs. [00:36:36] 10 of them came back with group think. [00:36:40] They focused on the negative. They came [00:36:42] back and said, "They're stronger than we [00:36:45] are. The land devours those living in [00:36:48] it. We look like grasshoppers in their [00:36:51] sight. [00:36:53] But two of them, Caleb and Joshua, [00:36:57] they chose to trust the Lord. They chose [00:37:00] boldness. Caleb came back and said, "We [00:37:04] should go take it right now. We can do [00:37:06] it." [00:37:08] Let me tell you a story about my own [00:37:10] life. When I was your age, I was in [00:37:12] college. Hadn't even graduated yet. My [00:37:15] mentor encouraged me to write my [00:37:16] lifetime goals down. He said, "Just [00:37:18] dream big. whatever comes out of your [00:37:20] heart, try to write down 50 lifetime [00:37:22] goals. So, I started writing them down [00:37:25] and then out of my heart, it just came [00:37:26] out. I'm like, well, I grew up in [00:37:28] Oklahoma and man, I think it'd be cool. [00:37:31] And I wrote down become governor of [00:37:33] Oklahoma. [00:37:40] >> There there's more to that story. I I [00:37:44] was sitting there thinking, there's no [00:37:46] way my parents weren't rich. We weren't [00:37:48] political. I didn't know anybody that [00:37:51] was in politics. It just seemed too big. [00:37:54] So, here's what I did. I erased it and I [00:37:57] wrote, "Have dinner with the governor. [00:38:02] Now, I get to have breakfast, lunch, and [00:38:04] dinner with the governor." [00:38:07] 20 years later, that dream came back [00:38:10] alive in my heart. [00:38:12] I was so scared. And I had these voices [00:38:15] in my head saying, "You can't do that. [00:38:17] Why do you think you can become [00:38:19] governor?" [00:38:20] And I want to challenge you today. [00:38:23] If God puts a dream in your heart, [00:38:27] there's always going to be people [00:38:28] that'll tell you you can't do it. But [00:38:30] I'm here to tell you, when God's for [00:38:33] you, who can be against you? [00:38:36] [Applause] [00:38:44] So, I want you to challenge you. I want [00:38:47] you to go after bold things. You're only [00:38:50] limited by your imagination. [00:38:54] Let me put a bow on this story. [00:38:57] Nobody remembers the 10 weak-minded [00:39:00] people. We don't even know their names. [00:39:04] They didn't stand for anything. [00:39:07] But we remember Caleb and Joshua. [00:39:10] We remember Charlie Kirk [00:39:12] because he stood for something. [00:39:23] We remember President Trump for his [00:39:26] boldness and fighting. [00:39:35] President Trump just did an unbelievable [00:39:37] peace deal in Israel and brought the [00:39:43] brought the hostages home. [00:39:45] [Applause] [00:39:47] Let me tell you something. You're not [00:39:49] going to wake up at 30 and all of a [00:39:51] sudden say, "All right, it's time for me [00:39:53] to be bold." Doesn't happen that way. [00:39:57] Today at 18, 19, 20, how however old you [00:40:00] are, you have to choose what battles [00:40:03] you're willing to fight for, what issues [00:40:06] you're willing to fight for. [00:40:09] When you walk into my office, the [00:40:11] governor's office, right there on the [00:40:12] left on the wall, when you walk in is [00:40:15] the scripture Joshua 24:15, [00:40:18] and it says, "As for me, in my house, we [00:40:21] will serve the Lord. [00:40:24] [Music] [00:40:25] [Applause] [00:40:32] The rest of that story, 40 years later, [00:40:34] all 10 of the no-name guys had died. But [00:40:38] Caleb and Joshua, Joshua became the [00:40:41] leader that took him to the promised [00:40:42] land. Caleb arrived in the promised land [00:40:46] at 85 years old. And he asked Joshua, he [00:40:50] told his buddy Joshua, he said, "Give me [00:40:53] the mountain with the giants." [00:40:56] Because he knew God was with him. That's [00:40:58] how he said it. Joshua 14:12, he says, [00:41:00] "Now give me this hill country that the [00:41:02] Lord promised me that day. You yourself [00:41:06] heard then that the giants were there [00:41:08] and their cities were large and [00:41:09] fortified, but the Lord helping me, I [00:41:13] will drive them out just as he said." [00:41:16] Caleb had the heart of a conqueror when [00:41:18] he was 20, when he was 40, and when he [00:41:21] was 85. He knew that God wasn't going to [00:41:25] let him down. I know God will never let [00:41:27] you down. [00:41:30] [Applause] [00:41:36] And in closing, [00:41:38] remember it's easier to fight your [00:41:40] battles with a buddy, with a community. [00:41:43] Surround yourself with like-minded [00:41:46] people who will face the challenges of [00:41:48] life with you. [00:41:51] And nobody remembers the guy who stands [00:41:53] down. So be the one who steps out boldly [00:41:56] and stands up for what's right just as [00:41:59] Charlie did and just as Erica is doing [00:42:02] today. [00:42:04] We all have that same choice as Meshach, [00:42:07] Shadrach, and Abedneo and Joshua and [00:42:10] Caleb did. You can change the trajectory [00:42:14] of this university, of our nation, if [00:42:18] you reject passivity [00:42:20] and you choose boldness. [00:42:22] It's what Charlie would have wanted you [00:42:24] to do. [00:42:27] Keep fighting for your God-given [00:42:29] freedoms. [00:42:30] That's what makes our dreams possible. [00:42:33] It's time to step out in boldness. It's [00:42:36] time to chase your dreams. And I want to [00:42:38] tell you this, no dream is out of reach. [00:42:41] And no dream is dead until you give up. [00:42:46] [Applause] [00:42:54] Will you join me in prayer? [00:43:01] Dear heavenly father, [00:43:03] we come before you in the Lloyd Noble [00:43:06] Center at the University of Oklahoma [00:43:09] with hearts in unison that we want a [00:43:12] move of God in OU [00:43:16] in Norman Oklahoma in the state of [00:43:18] Oklahoma and the United States of [00:43:20] America. We ask you to come do a work in [00:43:24] each and every heart here. Help us, Lord [00:43:27] God, as we strive to do your will. Give [00:43:30] us boldness to face the enemy. Lord, [00:43:33] give us discernment with all the [00:43:36] decisions that we have to make as all [00:43:37] these young people are choosing the [00:43:39] careers that you have for them. Just [00:43:41] help them be led by your spirit. And we [00:43:45] ask you to give us an eternal [00:43:46] perspective. And we know that we don't [00:43:48] live for this world, but we live for [00:43:52] eternity. and we just thank you for what [00:43:54] you're doing in the state of Oklahoma, [00:43:56] in the lives of all these young people [00:43:58] in this room. And we ask this all in the [00:44:01] name of Jesus. Amen. [00:44:11] >> I am really excited for the rest of this [00:44:13] evening. You guys have some great [00:44:16] speakers. Thank y'all so much for being [00:44:18] here tonight. And I'll leave you with [00:44:20] this. So proud to be an American, but I [00:44:24] thank God every day I'm an Oklahoma.

[00:45:08] So, I wanted to start off by saying [00:45:11] Charlie Kirk was set to speak on our [00:45:12] campus today, but I am so incredibly [00:45:15] honored to host the Turning Point USA [00:45:17] tour at the University of Oklahoma. [00:45:26] I want to thank you guys all for coming [00:45:28] here tonight. Our chapter at the [00:45:30] University of Oklahoma has been blown [00:45:32] away by the response the community has [00:45:34] shown. Whether that is good or bad, [00:45:38] we've we've seen it all. So many people [00:45:41] have been so kind and amazing. We'd like [00:45:44] to take a moment to thank our security [00:45:46] and law enforcement. [00:45:50] [Applause] [00:46:00] not only for their amazing help today, [00:46:02] but for keeping us safe, but also for [00:46:04] their diligence and hard work every day [00:46:07] putting their lives on the line for us. [00:46:11] [Applause] [00:46:17] And I could not continue without [00:46:18] thanking [00:46:20] a few people instrumental in our [00:46:22] chapter.

That is our that is on your chair [00:47:58] for a photo. If you don't have a sign, [00:48:01] yell and give us the energy for Charlie. [00:48:07] >> Everybody stand. [00:48:13] Charlie Kirk.

[00:49:30] [Applause] [00:49:34] >> Thank you guys all so much. And to [00:49:36] anybody who feels like they don't have a [00:49:38] place at the University of Oklahoma [00:49:39] because they've been ousted for being a [00:49:41] conservative, you have a place at our [00:49:43] chapter. Thank you. [00:49:49] [Music] [00:49:51] >> Please welcome Savannah Chrisley. [00:49:55] [Applause] [00:50:05] [Music] [00:50:13] What a day. [00:50:16] [Applause] [00:50:20] >> Before I start, I just want to thank the [00:50:23] University of Oklahoma for the warm [00:50:25] welcome. the signs, the posters, the [00:50:29] trash cans with my face in them. Um, [00:50:33] they're all beautiful. So, I've never [00:50:36] felt, honestly, I've never felt so [00:50:38] popular and recycled at the same time. [00:50:43] But seriously, you guys, I love that you [00:50:47] care enough to have an opinion. That's [00:50:50] what freedom looks like. And before I [00:50:53] get started, this is a little [00:50:54] bittersweet for me. [00:50:57] I when I got the email to come on tour, [00:51:02] I was like a little kid on Christmas [00:51:04] morning. I had gotten to meet Charlie a [00:51:07] few times and the interactions I had [00:51:10] with him changed my life. He gave me a [00:51:13] voice when no one else would. [00:51:17] And I was like, "Oh my gosh, yes." I [00:51:20] they're like, "We want Savannah to open [00:51:22] for Charlie." I was like, "Wait, what?" [00:51:24] I was freaking out and [00:51:29] then the unthinkable happened and I I [00:51:34] didn't know how to handle it. I didn't [00:51:36] know how to cope with it. And I know all [00:51:39] of you guys are kind of in that same [00:51:41] place right now. It's hard. It's It's [00:51:44] hard when we have so many people spewing [00:51:47] hateful rhetoric. And I'm dealing with [00:51:49] that right now at my little sister's [00:51:51] school, Lipkcom Academy in Nashville. [00:51:54] 14 boys wanted to wear a red tie to Aror [00:51:57] Charlie. And this is a Church of Christ [00:51:59] school and they were forced to take it [00:52:01] off because it was a dress code [00:52:03] violation. [00:52:05] And that's all because there are [00:52:08] Democrats from the top down running this [00:52:10] school. And these kids are now suffering [00:52:13] because they didn't get the chance to [00:52:15] honor Charlie how he should have been [00:52:17] honored. [00:52:19] But I just I want to be real with you. [00:52:22] Lately, I have been in a really low [00:52:24] place and I feel like a lot of people [00:52:26] are afraid to say that they're not okay. [00:52:29] And I think it's okay to not be okay all [00:52:32] the time. [00:52:34] The kind of [00:52:36] I've been in the kind of place where you [00:52:38] start to wonder, does my voice even [00:52:40] matter? Is what I'm doing working? Am I [00:52:43] really making a difference? And last [00:52:46] night, God reminded me that he still [00:52:49] sees me and he sent me a note. [00:52:53] This note right here was given to me at [00:52:57] a restaurant last night in Nashville. At [00:53:00] dinner, two strangers, Scott and Jet, I [00:53:03] hope to meet you guys someday, [00:53:05] handed the server a handwritten note and [00:53:07] it said, "Thank you for standing up for [00:53:10] your family and our beliefs. God bless. [00:53:16] [Applause] [00:53:21] And then they quietly paid for my meal. [00:53:24] And if you know me, you know I love [00:53:26] food. So that was an expensive dinner. [00:53:29] They had no idea though how much I [00:53:32] needed that just in that moment. Because [00:53:35] when you're fighting for truth, [00:53:37] sometimes it feels lonely. But that [00:53:39] simple act reminded me God still speaks. [00:53:43] sometimes through thunder, [00:53:46] but also through handwritten reminders [00:53:48] that you're seen and still called. That [00:53:51] card reminded me that this fight is [00:53:54] never about fame or applause. It's about [00:53:57] faithfulness. It's about people who [00:54:00] still believe, who still choose courage [00:54:03] when fear is easier. There are moments [00:54:06] when you don't know where to turn. When [00:54:09] the money's not there. When the courage [00:54:12] is gone. When you feel completely [00:54:15] unseen, but [00:54:18] what you do have is conviction. And [00:54:20] conviction is enough for God to move [00:54:23] mountains. [00:54:25] And then, as if to drive that message [00:54:28] home, I saw something else yesterday [00:54:30] that a lot of you guys saw. I saw a [00:54:32] photo of a dumpster full of Turning [00:54:35] Point posters, signs with my face on [00:54:37] them. And that's the reason my dad [00:54:40] hopped on a plane and flew from LA to [00:54:42] here to make sure that I wasn't alone. [00:54:46] [Applause] [00:54:54] These posters were tossed away like [00:54:57] garbage. Half the students here didn't [00:55:00] want me or Turning Point USA here. They [00:55:04] didn't want our voice, our values, our [00:55:06] faith, or our presence. For a second, it [00:55:10] kind of stung because let's be real, [00:55:13] we're human. And after what happened to [00:55:15] Charlie, it's scary to see something [00:55:17] like that happening. But then God [00:55:20] whispered, "What they meant to silence [00:55:23] you, I'll use to strengthen you. [00:55:31] So, you can throw my face in the trash, [00:55:35] but you can't throw away the truth. You [00:55:38] can rip up signs, but you can't rip up [00:55:41] conviction. You can hate my presence, [00:55:44] but you cannot cancel purpose. [00:55:51] God has a funny way of using what the [00:55:54] world discards to raise up warriors. [00:55:57] What they meant for humiliation, he [00:56:00] turned into motivation. What they meant [00:56:02] to bury, he used to plant. And as I [00:56:05] looked at those signs surrounded by [00:56:07] garbage, I smiled because I realized you [00:56:11] can throw away my image. But you can't [00:56:14] silence the image of God that I know I [00:56:16] carry. [00:56:17] [Applause] [00:56:22] And that's what this is really about. [00:56:25] It's not about politics, but purpose. [00:56:28] Standing for what you believe in will [00:56:31] always cost you something. And if [00:56:33] someone tells you otherwise, then they [00:56:35] haven't stood up for anything. [00:56:38] I've decided that I would rather stand [00:56:40] alone in truth than sit comfortably in a [00:56:44] lie. [00:56:46] [Applause] [00:56:56] So to every student who hated that I [00:56:59] came here tonight, thank you. Your [00:57:02] rejection is my confirmation. Your [00:57:04] opposition proves that this mission [00:57:07] still matters. This This is America, a [00:57:11] nation where freedom of speech still [00:57:14] exists, where faith still stands, and [00:57:17] where truth doesn't bow, it rises. And I [00:57:20] couldn't help but think, if Charlie were [00:57:23] here, he would have smiled, too, because [00:57:27] he knew the moment they try to silence [00:57:29] you is the moment you know that you're [00:57:32] speaking the truth. [00:57:35] [Applause] [00:57:40] I can't help but think that Charlie [00:57:43] would tell us, "Let him throw away the [00:57:46] signs. Just don't you dare throw away [00:57:49] your courage." [00:57:53] Almost [00:57:54] almost three years ago, for people that [00:57:56] don't know my story, my world was [00:57:59] shattered. My parents, my absolute best [00:58:02] friends, my co-workers, my everything. [00:58:05] My dad knows more about his daughter's [00:58:08] relationships than he ever should. [00:58:12] My parents, they were taken from our [00:58:15] home and sent to prison for a combined [00:58:17] 19 years. [00:58:22] And unfortunately, it wasn't just a [00:58:24] headline. It was my life. Suddenly, I [00:58:27] became mom, dad, sister, protector, [00:58:31] caregiver all at once. And I had to do [00:58:34] it while cameras and critics picked me [00:58:36] apart. I was angry. Angry at the system, [00:58:40] angry at the people who lied. And [00:58:42] honestly, I was angry at God. [00:58:44] But then, as God would do it, I felt [00:58:48] like he spoke to me again and said, [00:58:51] "Savannah, you can't fight evil with [00:58:53] anger. You fight it with truth, and you [00:58:56] win it with love." That night, I learned [00:59:00] something. [00:59:02] And this is a hard lesson for me because [00:59:04] for people that know me, you know, I can [00:59:05] be a little um tough around the edges. [00:59:09] But I learned something. I can be strong [00:59:13] and still be soft. I can be bold and [00:59:16] still be kind. I can be feminine and [00:59:19] still be fearless. [00:59:21] Because femininity isn't a weakness. [00:59:24] It's divine design. [00:59:28] I know. Being a woman's pretty cool, [00:59:31] right? [00:59:33] If only everyone knew, you know, the [00:59:37] difference between a man and a woman. [00:59:41] But ladies, this one's for you, cuz I [00:59:44] had to learn this lesson. You don't have [00:59:47] to become hard to be powerful. You can [00:59:50] be gentle and still lead armies. You can [00:59:54] cry and still conquer. That's what godly [00:59:57] womanhood looks like. After one of my [01:00:00] speeches, the sweet and loving and [01:00:03] gracious, God-fearing Erica Kirk sent me [01:00:06] a text. Savannah, you have a massive [01:00:10] anointing on your life. [01:00:12] And she has no idea what that text [01:00:16] message did for me. Those words, they [01:00:18] changed me. Because when you're walking [01:00:21] through fire, you forget that you're [01:00:23] chosen for a purpose. Erica's grace, her [01:00:27] quiet power. That's what strength looks [01:00:30] like. That's who Charlie believed in and [01:00:33] that's who we should all strive to be. [01:00:38] In the midst of our grieving, I want to [01:00:40] remind you of a prayer and it's a prayer [01:00:43] that I prayed very often and it's called [01:00:47] the I don't know prayer. It's when you [01:00:50] come before God and whisper, I don't [01:00:52] know what's next. I don't know how to [01:00:54] carry this and I don't know why it hurts [01:00:57] so bad because we're all hurting really [01:01:00] bad. And then you say, "But you do, God. [01:01:05] I don't know, but you do." That kind of [01:01:08] prayer still moves his heart. That kind [01:01:11] of surrender still moves mountains. [01:01:14] That's how I've survived the past three [01:01:16] years with a trembling voice saying, [01:01:19] "But you do." [01:01:21] Faith doesn't die when a purpose. Faith [01:01:24] doesn't die when a person dies. It lives [01:01:28] on in every heart that still believes in [01:01:31] truth. [01:01:32] I listened to Glenn Beck's Turning Point [01:01:35] USA speech and he said, "Every [01:01:37] generation must decide whether
