[00:57:30] Good morning everybody.
[00:57:33] Welcome this morning. We're so thankful
[00:57:34] to have you here as we celebrate the
[00:57:37] life of our friend Charlie Kirk. One
[00:57:40] thing I want to remind us today is that
[00:57:43] our focus and our aim today is going to
[00:57:46] be about focusing
[00:57:48] on the faith that Charlie had in our
[00:57:50] great God. We're going to lift our
[00:57:52] voices in worship. We're going to raise
[00:57:54] a battle cry. We want to invite you to
[00:57:57] join us as we sing.
[00:57:59] [Music]
[00:58:02] For I raise a hallelu
[00:58:08] in the presence of my enemies.
[00:58:13] I raise a halleluer
[00:58:17] [Music]
[00:58:20] than the unbelief.
[00:58:25] And I raise a hallelujah.
[00:58:31] My weapon is a melody. Yes, it is.
[00:58:37] And I raise a hallelu.
[00:58:40] [Music]
[00:58:43] Heaven comes to fight for me. Come on,
[00:58:47] we're going to sing.
[00:58:49] I'm going to sing
[00:58:51] in the middle of the storm.
[00:58:55] Louder and louder. You're going to hear
[00:58:58] my praises, oh Lord.
[00:59:01] Up from the ashes,
[00:59:04] hope will arise.
[00:59:07] Death is defeated.
[00:59:09] The king is alive.
[00:59:13] [Music]
[00:59:18] Come on together we declare
[00:59:21] raise a hallelujah
[00:59:27] with everything inside of me.
[00:59:32] I raise a hallelu.
[00:59:37] [Applause]
[00:59:42] Yes I will.
[00:59:44] I raise a hallelujah
[00:59:48] [Applause]
[00:59:51] of the mystery.
[00:59:56] I raise a hallelujah.
[01:00:02] Fear lost your hold on me. I'm going to
[01:00:06] sing. Come on everybody.
[01:00:08] I'm going to sing in the middle of the
[01:00:12] storm.
[01:00:14] Louder and louder you're going to hear
[01:00:17] my praises. Lord
[01:00:20] from the ashes
[01:00:22] the hope will arise.
[01:00:26] Death is defeated.
[01:00:28] The king is alive.
[01:00:34] So sing it louder.
[01:00:40] Sing a little louder.
[01:00:43] >> Oh, louder than the
[01:00:46] sing louder.
[01:00:49] >> My name is
[01:00:52] Sing a little louder.
[01:00:55] Every fight for me
[01:01:00] in the presence of my enemy
[01:01:04] louder
[01:01:07] than the open.
[01:01:15] Sing a little louder
[01:01:20] to fight for me. Sing a little louder.
[01:01:24] And I'm going to sing
[01:01:27] in the middle of the storm. Yes. Louder
[01:01:31] and louder. You're going to hear the
[01:01:34] praises.
[01:01:35] From the aes is open.
[01:01:42] Death is defeated.
[01:01:44] The king of
[01:01:49] dark
[01:01:50] [Applause]
[01:01:54] [Music]
[01:01:55] [Applause]

[01:02:15] [Music]
[01:02:19] [Applause]
[01:02:21] [Music]
[01:02:24] The weapon may be formed, but it won't
[01:02:27] prosper.
[01:02:30] And when the darkness falls, it won't
[01:02:32] prevail.
[01:02:36] Because the God I serve knows only how
[01:02:39] to triumph.
[01:02:42] And oh my God will never fail. Oh, I
[01:02:47] believe
[01:02:48] that my God will never fail. Can you
[01:02:52] declare this? I'm going to see a
[01:02:55] victory.
[01:02:56] I'm going to see a victory.
[01:03:00] For the battle belongs to you, Lord.
[01:03:05] And I'm going to see a victory.
[01:03:09] I'm going to see a victory.
[01:03:12] For the battle belongs to you, Lord.
[01:03:19] Oh,
[01:03:20] [Music]
[01:03:29] [Applause]
[01:03:32] there's power in the mighty name of
[01:03:35] Jesus.
[01:03:38] And every war he wages, he will win.
[01:03:44] So I'm not backing down from any giants.
[01:03:48] No, cuz I know how this story is. Yes, I
[01:03:54] do.
[01:03:56] Cuz I know how this story ends. Come on,
[01:04:00] say, "I'm going to see a victory.
[01:04:04] I'm going to see a victory.
[01:04:08] For the battle belongs to you, Lord.
[01:04:12] [Applause]
[01:04:14] I'm going to see a victory.
[01:04:17] I'm going to see a victory.
[01:04:20] For the battle belongs to you, Lord.
[01:04:25] [Music]
[01:04:29] Come on. We believe we serve a God who
[01:04:31] is victorious and he turns things around
[01:04:35] for our good, for his glory. Come on,
[01:04:37] declare this with me.
[01:04:40] Cuz you take what the enemy meant for
[01:04:43] evil and you turn it for good.
[01:04:47] You turn it for good. You believe that
[01:04:50] today?
[01:04:53] >> You take what the enemy meant for evil
[01:04:57] and you turn it for good.
[01:05:00] You turn it for good. Every time
[01:05:05] you take what the enemy left me for evil
[01:05:09] and you turn it for good.
[01:05:12] You turn it for good.
[01:05:16] [Music]
[01:05:18] You take what the enemy for evil and you
[01:05:22] turn it for good.
[01:05:25] You turn it for good.
[01:05:28] I'm going to see your victory.
[01:05:31] I'm going to sing a victory
[01:05:35] for the battle belongs to you, Lord.
[01:05:40] And I'm going to see the victory.
[01:05:44] I'm going to see the victory
[01:05:47] for the battle belong to you, Lord.
[01:05:55] You take what the enemy is
[01:05:59] and you turn it for good.
[01:06:02] You turn it for good.
[01:06:04] [Applause]
[01:06:05] [Music]
[01:06:07] You take what the enemy
[01:06:11] and you turn it for good.
[01:06:14] You turn it for good. You take
[01:06:20] you take from the enemy and evil and you
[01:06:24] turn it for good.
[01:06:27] You turn it for good.
[01:06:32] You take what the enemy
[01:06:36] and you turn.
[01:06:39] You turn it for good.
[01:06:41] [Applause]
[01:06:44] [Music]
[01:06:44] [Applause]
[01:06:46] Amen. Yes, God.
[01:06:52] And I believe that today that God is
[01:06:54] working all things together for his
[01:06:56] good, for his glory. He's taking this
[01:06:59] situation, he's taking your story, and
[01:07:01] he's turning things around. I love what
[01:07:03] the scripture tells us that if any man
[01:07:05] be in Christ, he's a new creation. The
[01:07:07] old is gone. All things are made new.
[01:07:10] And so we step into a new identity. I
[01:07:13] want us to sing about this this morning.
[01:07:16] We are who Jesus says we are.
[01:07:21] [Music]
[01:07:28] Who am I that the highest king would
[01:07:31] welcome?
[01:07:36] I was lost but he brought me in. All his
[01:07:40] love for me.
[01:07:43] All his love for me.
[01:07:50] Who am I that the highest king would
[01:07:54] welcome?
[01:07:59] I was lost but he brought me in his life
[01:08:04] for me.
[01:08:06] Oh, is
[01:08:10] who the sun sets free.
[01:08:15] Oh, is free indeed.
[01:08:19] I'm a child of God.
[01:08:23] >> Yes, I am.
[01:08:27] [Music]
[01:08:29] >> He has ransome me. His grace runs deep.
[01:08:37] While I was so to say Jesus died for me.
[01:08:44] Yes, he died for me.
[01:08:48] Who the son set free
[01:08:53] is free indeed.
[01:08:56] I'm a child of God. Yes, I am.
[01:09:05] In my father's
[01:09:07] house,
[01:09:09] there's a place for me.
[01:09:13] I'm a child of God. Yes, I am.
[01:09:23] [Applause]
[01:09:25] >> Well, now because of what Jesus has
[01:09:27] done, we've got a new name. We've got a
[01:09:30] new identity. I want us to make these
[01:09:32] declarations because we believe them to
[01:09:34] be true in Christ. Come on, sing with
[01:09:36] me.
[01:09:38] >> I am chosen, not forsen.
[01:09:43] I am who you say I am.
[01:09:46] And you are for me, not against me. I am
[01:09:52] who you say I am. Come on everybody. I
[01:09:55] am chosen, not forsen.
[01:10:00] I am who you say I am.
[01:10:03] You are for me, not against me. I am who
[01:10:09] you say I am.
[01:10:12] I am chosen, not forsaken.
[01:10:16] I am who you say I am.
[01:10:20] You are for me, not against me.
[01:10:24] For I am who you say I am.
[01:10:28] Yes, I am who you say I am.
[01:10:33] Yes, I am who you say I am.
[01:10:38] [Applause]
[01:10:39] Who the sun sets free.
[01:10:43] Who is free indeed.
[01:10:47] I'm a child of God. Yes, I am.
[01:10:56] In my father's
[01:10:58] house, there's a place for me.
[01:11:04] I'm a child of God.
[01:11:08] >> Yes, I am.
[01:11:17] And all the earth shout your praise. Our
[01:11:22] hearts will cry. These bones will sing.
[01:11:26] Great
[01:11:29] are you, Lord.
[01:11:32] Yes, you are.

[02:24:24] save us, but he shows up every time we
[02:24:27] call on his name.
[02:24:30] And that's good news because the
[02:24:32] presence of God is in this place. And so
[02:24:34] if you are lacking today, if you need
[02:24:36] hope, if you need joy, if you need life,
[02:24:40] he's a God of resurrection power. How
[02:24:43] many of you believe that?
[02:24:47] And so as we lift up the name of Jesus,
[02:24:49] declaring that we trust in this God, I'm
[02:24:52] believing that many of us, our eyes are
[02:24:55] going to be turned to this amazing
[02:24:56] savior. And maybe today's your day you
[02:24:59] need to start a relationship with Jesus.
[02:25:01] Today can be that day. I can't think of
[02:25:04] a better place to draw a line in the
[02:25:06] sand and say, you know what? I'm going
[02:25:08] to place my faith and my hope and my
[02:25:10] trust in this God. And I can recognize
[02:25:13] that God is doing something in our
[02:25:15] globe, around the globe, in our nation.
[02:25:18] And I want to be a part of it, cuz the
[02:25:21] spirit of God is on the move.
[02:25:24] Who wants to be a part of what God is
[02:25:26] doing.
[02:25:30] Amen. Well, then it starts with saying
[02:25:32] yes to Jesus yourself.
[02:25:34] And today, you can do it. I believe I
[02:25:38] believe that Jesus died for my sins. And
[02:25:41] I believe that God raised him from the
[02:25:42] dead. And in Romans, it says, "If you
[02:25:45] believe that and you confess that, you
[02:25:48] will be saved." Amen.
[02:25:52] [Applause]

[02:50:55] Come on. You love Jesus in this place
[02:50:57] this morning.
[02:51:07] What a day today.
[02:51:10] Let's just take a deep breath and just
[02:51:13] realize again in our hearts,
[02:51:17] this is a miracle.
[02:51:20] God is on the move.
[02:51:24] He's doing something mighty.
[02:51:28] I just keep wanting to read the
[02:51:30] scripture in 2 Chronicles 7:14.
[02:51:34] It says, "If my people
[02:51:37] who are called by my name
[02:51:40] will humble themselves and pray and seek
[02:51:43] my face and turn from their wicked ways,
[02:51:48] I will hear from heaven," God says. and
[02:51:51] I will heal their land.
[02:51:55] We need our land healed. Amen.
[02:51:58] We need our land healed. We need our
[02:52:00] country healed.
[02:52:03] We want the Kirk family to be healed.
[02:52:07] We want our country to turn back to
[02:52:10] Jesus.
[02:52:12] So God, we say today, we are your people
[02:52:16] and we humble ourselves
[02:52:18] and we repent of sin and things that
[02:52:21] have so easily pulled us away from your
[02:52:23] kingdom and from purity.
[02:52:27] Lord, would you heal our land? Would you
[02:52:30] hear from heaven and heal today in only
[02:52:34] the ways that you can with your peace,
[02:52:38] with your grace, with your strength,
[02:52:42] with your mighty hand. God,
[02:52:46] we turn our eyes to Jesus,
[02:52:49] the only one, true one. You are the way,
[02:52:54] the truth, and the life. We turn our
[02:52:56] eyes to Jesus.
[02:52:58] We come to you, Father. We come to you
[02:53:01] with our hands open and our hearts open
[02:53:05] to you, God.
[02:53:08] Heal our land.
[02:53:16] [Music]
[02:53:25] I've carried a burden
[02:53:30] for too long.
[02:53:35] I wasn't created
[02:53:38] [Music]
[02:53:41] to bear it alone.
[02:53:45] I hear your invitation.
[02:53:51] to let it all go.
[02:53:54] I see it now. I'm laying it down.
[02:53:59] And I know that I need you. Run to the
[02:54:06] father, falling to grace. I'm done with
[02:54:11] the heart. No reason to wait. My heart
[02:54:16] needs a search. My soul needs a friend.

[03:09:11] When you open open up to the last

[03:09:23] the throne.
[03:09:27] He says, he said with a loud voice, he
[03:09:31] will wipe every tear from every eye.
[03:09:33] There will be no more mourning or crying
[03:09:36] or death or sorrow or pain,
[03:09:41] for the old order of things will be
[03:09:43] passed away. And it says, he who was
[03:09:46] seated on the throne said, behold, I am
[03:09:48] making all things new.
[03:09:53] There is always hope in Jesus. And I

[03:09:57] promise. It's a promise right now. Just

[03:11:44] we'll see that it was worth it when he
[03:11:49] returns
[03:11:51] to wipe away our tears. Amen. There will
[03:11:56] be
[03:11:58] Oh, there will be a day

[04:17:22] [Applause]
[04:17:25] [Music]
[04:17:27] [Applause]
[04:17:31] Good morning everybody.
[04:17:33] Thank you for coming out to honor
[04:17:35] Charlie Kirk. God bless all of you and
[04:17:37] all of you tuning in online around the
[04:17:39] world.
[04:17:41] I uh I know you're all wondering who is
[04:17:43] he and why is he here? And I'm asking
[04:17:45] myself the same question.
[04:17:48] Charlie Kirk called me his pastor.
[04:17:51] I called him my friend.
[04:17:54] I was with Charlie about um a little
[04:17:57] over two weeks ago in Korea
[04:18:00] as he was supporting the persecuted
[04:18:02] Christians over there as they're raiding
[04:18:05] churches and imprisoning pastors. And he
[04:18:09] spoke to the youth there that now are
[04:18:10] chanting on the streets, I am Charlie
[04:18:13] Kirk, standing for freedom across that
[04:18:15] country.
[04:18:25] In a conversation with Charlie in the
[04:18:27] green room in Korea, he said something
[04:18:29] to me that he'd said a number of times.
[04:18:31] He said
[04:18:33] he he kept calling me his pastor. And I
[04:18:35] I stopped him. I said, "Charlie, since
[04:18:37] the president's gotten elected, your
[04:18:39] your stock has risen through the
[04:18:41] stratosphere,
[04:18:43] and I don't see much of you." I mean, he
[04:18:44] wasn't a very good congregant. He was on
[04:18:47] the road 320 days a year.
[04:18:51] But he said, "Rob, not only are you my
[04:18:53] pastor,
[04:18:55] but you're America's pastor." And I
[04:18:58] said, "Charlie, if if we were at a
[04:18:59] tableabling event on a campus where you
[04:19:02] had the table, said, "Prove me wrong,
[04:19:04] I'd win."
[04:19:06] And he looked at me with that sheepish
[04:19:08] grin that he always has.
[04:19:13] Dog gone it. if he wasn't right. I mean,
[04:19:15] I I wasn't America's pastor two minutes
[04:19:17] ago, and I won't be after this, but for
[04:19:19] right now, he proved me wrong.
[04:19:23] [Applause]
[04:19:33] >> In a moment, you're going to hear
[04:19:36] from the most powerful political
[04:19:39] people in the free world.
[04:19:43] You're going to hear from the who's who
[04:19:46] and they're going to assemble in this
[04:19:48] place to talk about what Charlie Kirk
[04:19:51] did in 31 years on this earth.
[04:19:55] He had more lifetimes in 31 years than
[04:19:57] all of us have in the entirety of our
[04:20:00] own.
[04:20:03] And as I was thinking about that,
[04:20:06] to recount all that he's accomplished in
[04:20:07] 31 years is quite a feat.
[04:20:11] I mean, I I was just telling the Turning
[04:20:14] Point staff as I walked in here,
[04:20:16] everyone is is worried that that Turning
[04:20:20] Point is isn't going to be successful.
[04:20:23] And I I looked at each and every one of
[04:20:24] them. And for those of you who are
[04:20:27] negative,
[04:20:31] without Charlie Kirk's presence, they
[04:20:32] pulled off the largest event in Turning
[04:20:34] Point history.
[04:20:36] Let's thank them.
[04:20:43] Turning Point is alive and well.
[04:21:00] All right.
[04:21:02] You're
[04:21:04] I appreciate that, but you're taking my
[04:21:06] time here. Sit down.
[04:21:10] I I want to do two things and then I
[04:21:12] want to do what I've been called to do.
[04:21:14] First of all, I was thinking of Abraham
[04:21:17] Lincoln when I was reflecting on Erica
[04:21:21] and their two children and for Charlie's
[04:21:24] parents and his sister.
[04:21:27] Abraham Lincoln said to Mrs. Bixby when
[04:21:29] she had lost sons in the civil war. He
[04:21:32] wrote these words.
[04:21:35] I feel how
[04:21:37] weak and fruitless must be any word of
[04:21:39] mine
[04:21:40] to beguile you
[04:21:43] from the grief of a loss so
[04:21:44] overwhelming.
[04:21:47] We can't bring him back, but we thank
[04:21:49] you for raising him. We thank you for
[04:21:52] loving him, Erica, for being the
[04:21:55] strength in his life.
[04:21:58] and and we we pray for this family and
[04:22:00] we ask God's comfort and peace upon you
[04:22:02] in Jesus name. Amen.
[04:22:12] Now, my responsibility entrusted to me
[04:22:15] by my friend and his wife.
[04:22:18] You're going to hear of what Charlie
[04:22:19] did, but I'm here today to tell you the
[04:22:22] why in what he did.
[04:22:25] The why brought him the courage. The why
[04:22:29] brought him the wisdom and the strength.
[04:22:31] The why
[04:22:34] is the one that Charlie wanted to
[04:22:37] welcome as the guest of honor.
[04:22:42] The guest of honor. His resume is long.
[04:22:46] He's the king of glory.
[04:22:48] He's the prince of peace.
[04:22:51] He's the savior of the world. He's the
[04:22:54] living God. He's the God of all mercy
[04:22:57] and grace,
[04:22:59] the total embodiment of love, the total
[04:23:03] embodiment of truth. And he's here today
[04:23:06] to call his children back to him.
[04:23:15] From the thin veil of heaven, Charlie
[04:23:18] declares to all earthly powers and
[04:23:20] principalities who will gather here.
[04:23:24] They have come into the presence of the
[04:23:26] God of all creation.
[04:23:30] Charlie wanted his savior to be the
[04:23:32] guest of honor. He wanted all of you to
[04:23:35] receive this gift from him. The why and
[04:23:37] what he did.
[04:23:39] Charlie was never afraid
[04:23:42] because he knew his life was secure in
[04:23:44] the hand of God.
[04:23:48] Jesus left the glory of heaven's throne
[04:23:52] for the humiliation of an earthly cross.
[04:23:55] He was fully tempted yet was without
[04:23:58] sin. For those of you who
[04:24:01] struggle with the word sin, it's real
[04:24:03] simple. It's an archer's term.
[04:24:06] Where the bullseye is and where the
[04:24:08] arrow lands, that's called the sin
[04:24:09] distance. How far you've fallen from
[04:24:11] perfection. And there are none
[04:24:13] righteous. No, not one. We've all missed
[04:24:14] the mark, the bullseye,
[04:24:18] and we try to get to God by our efforts,
[04:24:20] but there is no effort that will bring
[04:24:22] us back into the presence of a of a
[04:24:24] righteous God.
[04:24:26] You see, the wages of sin is death.
[04:24:29] Charlie knew this, and at an early age,
[04:24:30] he entrusted his life to the savior of
[04:24:33] the world.
[04:24:36] Jesus came to this earth, was tempted in
[04:24:39] all ways, yet was without sin, was
[04:24:40] crucified upon a cross. His blood was
[04:24:43] poured out because blood must be shed
[04:24:45] for the remission of sins. And his death
[04:24:48] upon that cross was sufficient for all
[04:24:50] the world's sins, but only efficient for
[04:24:52] those who, like Charlie, would receive
[04:24:54] him as their savior.
[04:24:59] Jesus has come to seek and save that
[04:25:01] which is lost.
[04:25:04] And I would say this to all of you.
[04:25:08] The Lord loves you.
[04:25:12] He wants to save you.
[04:25:15] He wants to give you a new life. He
[04:25:19] wants to cover the multitude of your
[04:25:21] sins by the blood he shed upon the
[04:25:23] cross.
[04:25:25] The Bible says if you believe in your
[04:25:26] heart and you confess with your tongue
[04:25:28] Jesus is Lord, you will be saved to the
[04:25:30] glory of the father.
[04:25:32] You see, Charlie looked at politics as
[04:25:34] an on-ramp to Jesus. He knew if he could
[04:25:37] get all of you rowing in the streams of
[04:25:38] liberty, you'd come to its source, and
[04:25:40] that's the Lord.
[04:25:44] [Applause]
[04:25:52] In the time I have remaining,
[04:25:54] I'm going to ask all who profess Christ
[04:25:57] as their savior to remain seated.
[04:26:02] The Bible says, "If you profess me
[04:26:03] before man, I'll profess you before my
[04:26:05] father in heaven." It requires an act of
[04:26:06] faith.
[04:26:08] You stand. That's what Charlie did every
[04:26:11] day on campus with death threats. He
[04:26:12] stood because he knew in whom he had
[04:26:15] trusted.
[04:26:17] And he wants to give you the gift of the
[04:26:19] why and what he did. And that is his
[04:26:20] savior, Jesus.
[04:26:22] While believers are seated, if there's
[04:26:24] any in this room and across the globe
[04:26:28] that would desire to receive Jesus as
[04:26:30] her savior, as Charlie did as a young
[04:26:32] man,
[04:26:33] and now is in the presence of his
[04:26:35] savior,
[04:26:37] I'm going to ask you to put action to
[04:26:39] your faith.
[04:26:41] And I'd ask you to stand right now to
[04:26:42] receive the Lord. Don't be ashamed.
[04:26:45] Stand. Amen. Amen.
[04:26:49] Amen.
[04:26:56] The Bible says,
[04:27:06] The Bible says that when one sinner
[04:27:08] gives their heart to the Lord, the
[04:27:09] angels in heaven rejoice. And I got to
[04:27:11] tell you, there's one up there right
[04:27:12] now, Charlie Kirk. He's stoked and he's
[04:27:14] excited about your commitment to his
[04:27:16] savior.
[04:27:24] for this remaining moment. If you've
[04:27:27] given your heart to the Lord and someone
[04:27:29] is seated next to you, I want that
[04:27:31] person who's a believer to stand and
[04:27:33] pray with you and and please up on the
[04:27:35] screen, I want you to take a picture of
[04:27:37] this QR code. We are going to give you
[04:27:39] everything you need to walk this walk
[04:27:41] with Christ.
[04:27:43] Faith comes from hearing and hearing
[04:27:45] from the word of God. And it's time to
[04:27:47] get into a bibleelving church. And
[04:27:49] pastors, if you didn't want to give
[04:27:51] Charlie Kirk the time a day, these folks
[04:27:52] are going to be showing up at your
[04:27:54] church. And they're there because of his
[04:27:55] life. God bless you and may the Lord
[04:27:58] keep you. Amen.

[04:31:57] Charlie Kirk was scheduled to speak at
[04:32:01] my husband's upcoming memorial.
[04:32:06] Instead,
[04:32:08] I am here speaking at Charlie's
[04:32:10] memorial.
[04:32:12] It means a lot to share my story.
[04:32:17] Almost 12 years ago,
[04:32:20] I met this bright young man filled with
[04:32:23] optimism about his plan to reach young
[04:32:26] people.
[04:32:28] I was so impressed that I invited him to
[04:32:31] come to our home and tell my husband and
[04:32:34] me more about his organization.
[04:32:38] That young man, of course, was Charlie
[04:32:40] Kirk and his organization was Turning
[04:32:44] Point USA.
[04:32:54] Charlie told us how he wanted to start
[04:32:57] two chapters in North Florida. When
[04:33:00] asked how much money it would take, he
[04:33:03] told us he thought it would take about
[04:33:05] $50,000.
[04:33:08] Not knowing anything about this young
[04:33:12] man except that he sounded impressive,
[04:33:16] we told him that if he could raise the
[04:33:19] first half, we would give him the
[04:33:22] remaining 25,000.
[04:33:26] Two days later,
[04:33:31] Charlie called to say that he had raised
[04:33:35] the money.
[04:33:37] He
[04:33:46] He was not in his hometown.
[04:33:49] He was not even in his home state. He
[04:33:53] was 20 years old.
[04:33:56] And yet he met our challenge.
[04:34:00] I laughed and I told him, I said, "Well,
[04:34:04] Charlie,
[04:34:05] I guess we owe you a check."
[04:34:11] That was Charlie Kirk's first challenge
[04:34:14] grant.
[04:34:16] After that initial grant, we followed
[04:34:19] suit with multiple challenge grants,
[04:34:24] each one larger than the previous,
[04:34:27] eventually growing into the millions.
[04:34:32] In the early days, Charlie felt like a
[04:34:36] son to me.
[04:34:38] More recently,
[04:34:40] I was the one looking up to him.
[04:34:44] Charlie never disappointed.
[04:34:48] He met every challenge with optimism and
[04:34:52] grit.
[04:34:54] Today,
[04:34:56] I feel like Charlie is challenging us.
[04:35:01] Will we meet his challenge to fight for
[04:35:04] freedom,
[04:35:06] for family,
[04:35:08] for faith?
[04:35:10] More importantly,
[04:35:13] will we do this the way that Charlie did
[04:35:16] with a heart that loves God?
[04:35:21] Before you answer that question, I would
[04:35:24] like to share something else with you.
[04:35:28] Shortly before I met Charlie, I had
[04:35:31] become very discouraged about the
[04:35:33] atmosphere in our country.
[04:35:36] I even suggested to my husband that
[04:35:39] maybe we should stop trying.
[04:35:42] It seemed that the money and time we
[04:35:44] were giving to freedom causes did not
[04:35:47] seem to be making a difference.
[04:35:50] Bill asked me to read an article by
[04:35:54] Larry Reid.
[04:35:56] The essence of the article said this.
[04:35:59] If we truly believed in freedom,
[04:36:04] we must never stop trying to preserve
[04:36:06] it.
[04:36:08] We had a moral obligation
[04:36:12] to fight for freedom.
[04:36:14] And as long as there is a breath in our
[04:36:18] bodies,
[04:36:19] we must fight.
[04:36:22] [Applause]
[04:36:31] By encountering Charlie,
[04:36:34] we met a true freedom fighter.
[04:36:37] Today, there is no doubt that Charlie
[04:36:41] Kirk fought for freedom
[04:36:45] with the last breath
[04:36:48] in his body.
[04:36:51] Thank you, Charlie Kirk.
[04:36:54] [Applause]
[04:36:58] And thank you to everyone who will not
[04:37:01] stop fighting. To all who will meet the
[04:37:04] challenge Charlie gave us. Thank you.
[04:37:09] [Applause]
[04:37:18] [Music]
[04:37:20] Please welcome to the stage Larry Arn.
[04:37:23] [Music]
[04:37:36] Good morning.
[04:37:38] We had the pastor. I'm the school
[04:37:40] teacher.
[04:37:41] I have uh one short story to tell you
[04:37:43] about Charlie Kirk, my friend.
[04:37:46] He became a friend of mine because I
[04:37:48] interrogated him one time. 19 year olds
[04:37:51] are my specialty.
[04:37:53] I asked him some questions he couldn't
[04:37:55] answer. And he was already becoming
[04:37:57] famous.
[04:37:59] And I noticed his reaction. He said,
[04:38:00] "What should I do?" And I said, "Well,
[04:38:03] you have to suffer. If you want to grow,
[04:38:06] you have to suffer. It's hard to learn.
[04:38:09] Into the night, crackle dawn in the
[04:38:12] morning. Start with the Bible. Read the
[04:38:15] classics.
[04:38:17] Study the founding of America.
[04:38:20] In those places, you will find that
[04:38:23] there's a ladder that reaches up toward
[04:38:25] God. And at the bottom of it is the
[04:38:28] ordinary good things that are around us
[04:38:30] everywhere.
[04:38:32] If we can call them by their names, they
[04:38:34] have being. And the beings of the good
[04:38:37] things are figments of God. You will
[04:38:41] find that article in Aristotle. You will
[04:38:43] find it in the Bible.
[04:38:45] You will find it in Madison and
[04:38:47] Jefferson.
[04:38:50] How do I learn that? He said. I said,
[04:38:52] "You have to suffer.
[04:38:54] You have to study. You have to think."
[04:38:58] I thought I'd never hear from him again.
[04:39:00] Within a month, he got hold of my cell
[04:39:02] phone number and he texted me a copy of
[04:39:06] a certificate of completion of a
[04:39:08] Hillsdale College online course.
[04:39:12] He would go on to do that 31 times.
[04:39:16] I keep a list in my head of the six or
[04:39:19] eight young people and I'm very
[04:39:21] privileged. I get to know many inspiring
[04:39:24] young people
[04:39:26] who are the best I ever saw.
[04:39:29] Charlie is the only one who was never a
[04:39:31] full-time student at Hellz College who
[04:39:33] was on that list.
[04:39:35] We will miss him dearly.
[04:39:41] He can't be replaced.
[04:39:45] Do you know a good thing is a thing that
[04:39:47] has being?
[04:39:50] An assassin is not a thing that has
[04:39:52] being.
[04:39:54] The assassin must give up his humanity
[04:39:57] to destroy something that has being.
[04:40:01] Charlie lives on.
[04:40:04] The assassin will die.
[04:40:09] [Applause]
[04:40:19] My wife, who's here with me today, uh,
[04:40:22] and I have set up a scholarship
[04:40:25] in the hope that Charlie's children will
[04:40:28] go to a good college.
[04:40:32] I have one in mind.
[04:40:38] And this May the 9th,
[04:40:41] Erica doesn't know this yet. We are
[04:40:43] going to give Charlie and Erica the
[04:40:45] greatest respect a college can give
[04:40:49] an honorary degree
[04:40:53] [Applause]
[04:41:03] Charlie. you see has suffered enough.
[04:41:08] He's gone to the Lord. He deserves his
[04:41:11] reward. Thank you.
[04:41:14] [Applause]
[04:41:20] [Music]
[04:41:33] My
[04:41:37] name
[04:41:41] is
[04:41:44] [Music]
[04:41:47] Glor.
[04:41:53] >> Please welcome Mikey McCoy, Stacy
[04:41:56] Sheridan, Tyler Ber, and Justin Strife.
[04:42:02] [Music]
[04:42:12] Hello everyone. My name is Mikey McCoy.
[04:42:16] I had the unique honor, blessing, and
[04:42:18] privilege of a lifetime to not only call
[04:42:21] Charlie a precious friend, mentor, but
[04:42:25] to travel with him literally everywhere.
[04:42:29] The first time I met Charlie was when I
[04:42:31] was driving him and his then girlfriend
[04:42:33] Erica to the airport after he had spoken
[04:42:35] at my father's church. The entire car
[04:42:38] ride he was grilling me on Aristotle,
[04:42:40] Socrates, Plato, American history. At
[04:42:43] the end, he said, "Don't go to college.
[04:42:46] Come work for me instead."
[04:42:49] At 18, I canceled my college plans,
[04:42:52] moved to Arizona.
[04:42:54] My life was forever changed by Charlie.
[04:42:58] All of us in this room have that in
[04:43:00] common.
[04:43:02] My first day working at Turning Point, I
[04:43:04] met an incredible girl
[04:43:06] who Charlie was interviewing on his
[04:43:08] podcast, sharing the story of her family
[04:43:11] who had survived a totalitarian regime,
[04:43:14] whose grandfather was imprisoned in the
[04:43:16] Goologs for 10 years for preaching the
[04:43:19] gospel.
[04:43:21] Elizabeth and I were married a year
[04:43:23] later. Thank you, Charlie.
[04:43:33] When Charlie would speak on college
[04:43:35] campuses, he'd often wear t-shirts with
[04:43:38] inspiring taglines like, "Here I am.
[04:43:42] Never surrender,
[04:43:44] freedom."
[04:43:46] But as I've watched back so many clips
[04:43:48] these past 11 days, my favorite and so
[04:43:51] often worn by him was live free.
[04:43:56] 11 days ago, my friend was martyed for
[04:44:00] using his voice to engage in peaceful
[04:44:02] dialogue.
[04:44:04] Charlie's assassin thought that he could
[04:44:06] steal and silence his voice by putting a
[04:44:09] bullet in his neck. In the words of
[04:44:12] Saurin Kirgard, "The tyrant dies and his
[04:44:15] rule is over. The martyr dies and his
[04:44:18] rule has just begun.
[04:44:44] Charlie was not silenced. His movement
[04:44:47] is only beginning. The voices of
[04:44:50] millions globally have been awakened,
[04:44:53] furthering his cause in mission far
[04:44:55] beyond anyone's comprehension.
[04:44:58] We won't cower in fear. We will never
[04:45:02] surrender. We are resolved to live free
[04:45:05] from lies and seek out what is true. We
[04:45:08] will respectfully,
[04:45:10] boldly challenge what is accepted by
[04:45:13] culture in order to seek out what is
[04:45:15] true and acceptable to God Almighty
[04:45:18] alone.
[04:45:31] To everyone here today,
[04:45:33] live free. True freedom is not found in
[04:45:37] doing whatever we want, but pursuing
[04:45:40] Christ in doing what is right. In
[04:45:44] Charlie's words, "Get married. Have more
[04:45:48] children than you can afford. Build a
[04:45:50] legacy. Pass down your values. Pursue
[04:45:52] the eternal. Seek true joy." Charlie led
[04:45:58] by example. It's not only seen in the
[04:46:01] incredible wife Erica Kirk, his two
[04:46:04] beautiful children, the legacy he built,
[04:46:07] his values, his love of God, and true
[04:46:09] joy he found in his savior Jesus Christ.
[04:46:13] But in countless people, especially
[04:46:15] young people like Elizabeth and I, whose
[04:46:17] very lives are the fruit of Charlie's
[04:46:20] example of faithfulness.
[04:46:23] Charlie,
[04:46:25] it was the honor of my life to serve you
[04:46:28] as you serve Jesus.
[04:46:31] And now we will all continue to serve
[04:46:33] you as we continue to serve Jesus. Thank
[04:46:37] you so much. I love you, Charlie. I
[04:46:40] can't wait to see you again. God bless
[04:46:42] Erica Kirk, CEO and chair of Turning
[04:46:46] Point USA, the Kirk family, and God
[04:46:49] bless America.
[04:47:00] Oh my goodness.
[04:47:05] Charlie's having some serious heavenly
[04:47:07] FOMO right now.
[04:47:09] Look at this. You have no idea how much
[04:47:11] Charlie Kirk wants a bullhorn down here
[04:47:13] right now. He always he always said to
[04:47:16] me, "If we can just figure out how to
[04:47:18] bring the Holy Spirit into a Trump
[04:47:19] rally,
[04:47:22] think you've done it.
[04:47:29] My name is Tyler Ber. I was the I was
[04:47:31] the CEO of TurningPoint USA and now the
[04:47:34] CEO of Turning Point Action. You may
[04:47:36] know me from the Charlie Kirk show or
[04:47:38] our weekly podcast Thought Crime with
[04:47:40] Charlie, Jack, Blake, and Andrew, but
[04:47:43] I'm also the longest tenure employee at
[04:47:45] Turning Point. I met my friend Charlie
[04:47:48] in 2014. We connected when Turning Point
[04:47:52] USA was just in its infancy, sharing the
[04:47:54] vision for what the conservative
[04:47:56] movement should be.
[04:47:58] Charlie was just a kid then. I was a
[04:48:01] little older. We had a lot in common. I
[04:48:04] didn't like rhinos. He didn't like
[04:48:07] rhinos.
[04:48:09] I was the youngest guy at Tea Party
[04:48:11] meetings. He was the youngest guy at Tea
[04:48:13] Party meetings.
[04:48:16] Charlie didn't go to college. I went to
[04:48:19] ASU. So, I basically didn't go to
[04:48:20] college.
[04:48:28] You're welcome, Dr. Crow.
[04:48:31] We went to work every day on a 24-hour
[04:48:33] clock. When Charlie turned 21, he didn't
[04:48:35] have a home. Turning Point USA was in
[04:48:38] his first year of raising real money.
[04:48:41] He was just a kid to me. But donors
[04:48:44] would ask him where he lived, and he
[04:48:45] took personal offense to the suggestion
[04:48:47] he still lived in his parents' basement,
[04:48:50] although his parents probably wanted him
[04:48:52] to be there all the time.
[04:48:55] He was a grown 21-year-old man, after
[04:48:57] all. He was rarely home in Chicago. He
[04:49:00] lived on a plane and zipped back and
[04:49:01] forth. As Turning Point USA became his
[04:49:04] life, all his personal mail came to a
[04:49:06] little detached garage at 217 and a half
[04:49:10] Illinois Street. Whereas Charlie would
[04:49:12] constantly remind you, like every good
[04:49:14] startup, Turning Point USA was founded.
[04:49:16] So anyways, we worked 24/7.
[04:49:19] He would tell every supporter of ours
[04:49:21] between me and him, we were a team that
[04:49:22] was never off the clock, full coverage.
[04:49:26] I would usually stay up till 2 or 3 in
[04:49:28] the morning working on the next big
[04:49:30] Turning Point USA project and text
[04:49:32] Charlie reports of what our team that
[04:49:33] day had accomplished. It was like this
[04:49:36] every day. work report and wait to see
[04:49:38] my text messages to Charlie flip from
[04:49:41] delivered to red as soon as he woke up
[04:49:44] on the East Coast so we can be firing
[04:49:45] away feedback thoughts and a flurry of
[04:49:48] brilliant Charlie Kirk ideas as soon as
[04:49:50] he opened his eyes. I'm not kidding you.
[04:49:52] This was every single day. And it takes
[04:49:54] is all it takes is two dudes to dream up
[04:49:57] big stuff and talk each other into
[04:49:58] really insane ideas, which Charlie and I
[04:50:01] did often to one another. We would go
[04:50:03] back and forth with those ideas,
[04:50:04] perfecting them, turning into bigger,
[04:50:06] more insane and impactful things and of
[04:50:08] course expensive concepts.
[04:50:11] The ideas literally never stopped. It
[04:50:12] was around the clock problem solution
[04:50:14] chat that worked to dream big for the
[04:50:17] conservative movement. Come up with new
[04:50:19] ideas, plan new things, fix all
[04:50:21] problems. My job was to turn them into
[04:50:23] proposals and presentations. And voila,
[04:50:26] we would work to execute. Charlie would
[04:50:28] take red eyes from coast to coast going
[04:50:30] all over the country like a crazy man on
[04:50:32] any and every possible don meeting with
[04:50:34] every possible donor who would take a
[04:50:36] meeting so our ideas and fixes for the
[04:50:39] conservative movement could help young
[04:50:41] people once and for all.
[04:50:44] I oftentimes would go with him and
[04:50:46] marvel at the deranged 22-year-old
[04:50:48] lifestyle of bathing in airport
[04:50:49] bathrooms, eating full plates of
[04:50:51] vegetables and meat at 10 p.m. at night
[04:50:53] after a long day's work. He was the best
[04:50:56] at doing all of it. Our success gave me
[04:50:59] the job of a lifetime and I'm grateful
[04:51:00] for it for the rest of my life. I got I
[04:51:03] got really good at recruiting the best
[04:51:04] young talent in the country to come work
[04:51:06] for us and it was non-stop. We were a
[04:51:09] hell of a team. And that's how it
[04:51:12] worked. Turning Point USA was built and
[04:51:14] the Charlie Kirk vision was delivered. I
[04:51:17] had the special honor at Charlie and
[04:51:19] Erica's wedding to give a toast speech
[04:51:20] for Charlie the groom. It was
[04:51:22] significantly less pressure than this
[04:51:24] room. An incredibly beautiful wedding,
[04:51:27] but small and important room of people.
[04:51:30] I admit I admittedly think I can
[04:51:33] admittedly say I didn't think that I
[04:51:34] would have to give another Charlie Kirk
[04:51:36] speech this soon.
[04:51:38] At his wedding, I told the story of
[04:51:40] talking Charlie into moving to Arizona.
[04:51:42] He was an adamant Chicago by boy. I
[04:51:45] needed to break that. Selfishly, I
[04:51:48] wanted him to love Arizona because we I
[04:51:49] had recently convinced him to move
[04:51:51] Turning Point USA to Arizona. It was a
[04:51:54] hard sell at first, and that was until I
[04:51:57] hosted the first Trump rally in in in
[04:52:00] Trump rally history right here in
[04:52:01] Arizona in 2015.
[04:52:05] I got a call.
[04:52:07] I got a call from Miss Erica Kirk. Miss
[04:52:10] Arizona 2012. I just want to help, she
[04:52:13] said. So naturally, I put her right
[04:52:15] behind the president at that first
[04:52:17] rally.
[04:52:19] After that, we talked. It was obvious
[04:52:21] she was the perfect person for the job
[04:52:23] that Charlie and I had devised in one of
[04:52:25] our 24-hour planning sessions. I wanted
[04:52:28] to hire her. I only had one problem.
[04:52:31] Charlie Kirk wanted to date her.
[04:52:34] Long story short, I was very worried he
[04:52:37] was going to scare her off and screw it
[04:52:39] up. and I was going to lose this
[04:52:41] incredible prospect. Like all things he
[04:52:44] put his mind to, Charlie accomplished
[04:52:46] everything he put his mind to. They
[04:52:48] immediately fell in love and I lost an
[04:52:50] employee. But now she's my boss.
[04:52:55] I'm sure you've heard. We love Erica
[04:52:58] Kirk.
[04:53:01] Over the years, we built a lot of
[04:53:02] things. The largest field operation, the
[04:53:04] conservative movement between high
[04:53:05] school, college, faith, and action. the
[04:53:07] first ever ballot chasing operation that
[04:53:09] won the election for President Trump.
[04:53:16] The largest events in the conservative
[04:53:18] movement, most of which have been huge
[04:53:20] in but in convention centers. In 2021,
[04:53:22] in the aftermath of COVID, we weren't
[04:53:24] sure if society was ever going to bounce
[04:53:26] back and ever get back to normal. So, we
[04:53:28] began planning what was one of the crazy
[04:53:30] ideas known as America Fest. I hope
[04:53:32] you'll all be there this year.
[04:53:35] We decided to move it to swing state
[04:53:36] Arizona and hope and pray that this
[04:53:38] would work after the world shut down for
[04:53:40] so long. Charlie, like all our 247 ideas
[04:53:44] sessions, texted me and our VP of
[04:53:46] events, Lawrence Honich, late at night
[04:53:48] and he said, he showed us and said,
[04:53:50] "This is my vision. It was a image of a
[04:53:54] full stadium." A few seconds later, he
[04:53:57] sent these images of full stadiums of
[04:53:59] people hoping for that to be a future
[04:54:01] Turning Point event. Well, Charlie, my
[04:54:03] friend, I'm happy to report we're
[04:54:05] standing in your vision.
[04:54:08] You did it, buddy.
[04:54:10] We love you.
[04:54:14] You are sitting in the vision for
[04:54:15] Charlie Kirk. God bless.
[04:54:18] [Applause]
[04:54:26] My name is Justin Strife and I'm the
[04:54:27] chief chief operating officer for
[04:54:29] Turning Point USA.
[04:54:33] Since September 10th, my thoughts keep
[04:54:35] returning to one thing, and that's time.
[04:54:38] Charlie lived only 31 years.
[04:54:41] Yet, when I reflect on those years, I
[04:54:43] see more impact and more courage and
[04:54:45] more achievement than most men
[04:54:46] accomplish in a lifetime.
[04:54:49] I've known Charlie for a decade, and I
[04:54:51] I'd like to share a little of what I
[04:54:52] learned from him.
[04:54:54] Charlie often said that having courage
[04:54:56] is one of the easiest things in the
[04:54:58] world because all it requires is you to
[04:55:01] say yes. Courage does not require
[04:55:04] talent. It does not require natural
[04:55:06] ability. Courage requires a personal
[04:55:08] decision.
[04:55:10] It's interesting that people often
[04:55:11] describe Charlie as completely fearless.
[04:55:14] But the truth is simpler and much more
[04:55:16] profound. Charlie simply refused to let
[04:55:19] fear stop him from carrying out God's
[04:55:22] will for him and his life. His
[04:55:26] courage. His courage was a daily choice,
[04:55:29] a yes, no matter the cost. And it cost
[04:55:32] him his life.
[04:55:34] This truth forced me to reflect on what
[04:55:36] we can't control. Time. It's fleeting.
[04:55:40] It's fragile. And it's sacred. Charlie
[04:55:42] knew this better than anyone else. He
[04:55:45] didn't waste time. He lived every moment
[04:55:47] with conviction. He lived as a man of
[04:55:49] character and truth and courage. And he
[04:55:53] taught us not just through words but
[04:55:54] through actions.
[04:55:56] Charlie was the same person he in
[04:55:58] private as he was in public. And that's
[04:56:00] why we trusted him. That's why we loved
[04:56:02] him. That's why we all feel this loss so
[04:56:05] deeply. His honesty, his compassion, and
[04:56:08] his insistence on truth drew people in,
[04:56:11] even those who disagreed with him.
[04:56:13] Charlie stirred patriotism in us, but
[04:56:15] more deeply, he stirred our hunger to
[04:56:17] live united under God.
[04:56:20] He told us to stop and think, to use
[04:56:22] common sense, to grow up and pitch in.
[04:56:25] He asked us to hear the words that God
[04:56:26] wrote on our hearts. I am the Lord your
[04:56:28] God, and you shall have no other gods
[04:56:30] before me.
[04:56:32] This is not a message of comfort or
[04:56:33] safety or peace. It's a message of love,
[04:56:36] a love of God's will. Charlie's life was
[04:56:40] anchored by that love. Every day he left
[04:56:42] his home, the comfort of it, his wife,
[04:56:45] his children, to face criticism and
[04:56:47] threats and angry mobs. and ultimately
[04:56:49] death. He loved God more than he loved
[04:56:52] safety or applause or even his own life.
[04:56:56] That's because the last 31 years weren't
[04:56:58] his career. They were his calling.
[04:57:01] [Music]
[04:57:03] Charlie's legacy is this. He showed us
[04:57:05] how to be better people. He gave voice
[04:57:07] to truth and he followed God's will.
[04:57:11] He started with nothing more than the
[04:57:13] idea than an idea and a folding table.
[04:57:15] And over 13 years, with time and courage
[04:57:19] and faith, he built a movement that
[04:57:21] changed the world.
[04:57:23] Now that Charlie's gone,
[04:57:26] what happens next?
[04:57:29] It's up to us. Time is fleeting, but the
[04:57:32] decisions we make here right now are
[04:57:34] eternal.
[04:57:36] So, let us honor Charlie by doing what
[04:57:37] he did. Stand for truth.
[04:57:41] Confront evil.
[04:57:43] Live courageously.
[04:57:45] And we do it the way that Charlie did,
[04:57:48] with compassion,
[04:57:50] but never compromising on truth.
[04:57:52] Demanding the best from ourselves, from
[04:57:54] each other, and from our country.
[04:57:58] Charlie reminded us that courage
[04:57:59] requires only a yes. And he said yes
[04:58:02] every single day. And now it's our turn.
[04:58:06] It's our turn to say yes, to speak
[04:58:09] boldly,
[04:58:10] speak honestly, to fight for our
[04:58:13] families, to love our country, to honor
[04:58:16] God,
[04:58:18] and to wisely use the time that we've
[04:58:20] been given.
[04:58:23] And it's to do the do for the next
[04:58:25] generation what Charlie did for us.
[04:58:27] Because this all of this right here and
[04:58:29] right now is our turning point. We love
[04:58:32] you, Charlie, and we won't let you down.
[04:58:42] [Applause]
[04:58:47] My name is Stacy Sheridan. Eight years
[04:58:50] ago, I met Charlie in a crowded ballroom
[04:58:54] in West Palm Beach at a David Horowitz
[04:58:56] Freedom Center event.
[04:58:59] We spoke briefly, we exchanged cards,
[04:59:01] and I thought nothing of it.
[04:59:05] What ultimately
[04:59:08] made me want to join Charlie's cause and
[04:59:11] Charlie's team because he began a quest
[04:59:13] to hire me after meeting me.
[04:59:16] I was reluctant at first, but it was his
[04:59:20] naive audaciousness
[04:59:24] to change the world that ultimately sold
[04:59:27] me.
[04:59:29] It was the best decision I've ever made
[04:59:31] and I've never looked back.
[04:59:34] Yes, technically Charlie was my boss,
[04:59:38] but it really never felt that way. Far
[04:59:41] more than my boss. I felt like he was my
[04:59:44] little brother. So, the guys that went
[04:59:47] before me
[04:59:49] spoke about him as a boss and a leader.
[04:59:51] I'm going to speak about him from my
[04:59:53] heart, as a family member.
[04:59:57] In 2022, my husband Mike became sick
[05:00:01] with cancer.
[05:00:02] Two years later, that cancer took his
[05:00:05] life.
[05:00:07] Throughout those two years, Charlie
[05:00:09] called me consistently to ask how he
[05:00:12] could help us. At one point, he had
[05:00:16] critical medication and an oxygen
[05:00:18] machine sent to my doorstep without my
[05:00:21] knowledge. I still to this day have no
[05:00:24] idea how he made that happen.
[05:00:28] But that was Charlie.
[05:00:30] He did the right thing. There was no
[05:00:33] limit to how far he'd go to help a
[05:00:35] friend.
[05:00:37] He wasn't looking for publicity or
[05:00:39] credit.
[05:00:42] He did it because that's what a leader
[05:00:44] does. That's what a friend does
[05:00:48] and that's what a Christian is supposed
[05:00:50] to do.
[05:00:52] Sometimes I would express guilt to
[05:00:54] Charlie that I couldn't do my job at
[05:00:56] 100%.
[05:00:58] Charlie's response every single time
[05:01:02] was family first.
[05:01:06] When Mike ultimately passed away,
[05:01:09] Charlie and the entire team were there
[05:01:12] for us yet again. They helped my
[05:01:16] daughter Grace through the unbearable
[05:01:19] tragedy of losing her father on her 9th
[05:01:22] birthday.
[05:01:24] But Charlie's help didn't stop there.
[05:01:27] This January, I lost my home in the
[05:01:30] Pacific Palisades fire.
[05:01:34] Charlie's response was very clear and
[05:01:37] very direct.
[05:01:39] This is a sign you and Grace belong in
[05:01:44] Arizona. Now,
[05:01:49] within a few months, we moved here and
[05:01:52] Charlie and Erica welcomed us into their
[05:01:54] family.
[05:01:57] While enduring our various tragedies, my
[05:02:00] daughter Grace would ask me at least
[05:02:03] once a day, "Why would God do this to
[05:02:06] us, Mom?"
[05:02:08] My honest and only answer was, "Someday
[05:02:11] we will look at each other and instantly
[05:02:14] know why all of this had to happen. And
[05:02:17] it will be for something far greater
[05:02:20] than we can ever imagine."
[05:02:23] In my first conversation with Grace
[05:02:25] after Charlie's death, Grace said to me
[05:02:27] through tears over the phone, "Mom,
[05:02:32] this is the answer to my question.
[05:02:35] This is our why.
[05:02:38] Now we can be there for Erica and Gigi
[05:02:41] at Mac the way they were there for us.
[05:02:47] [Applause]
[05:02:56] Looking back today, it's so clear to me
[05:02:58] that Grace was right. I know for certain
[05:03:01] that my late husband Mike, Charlie, and
[05:03:03] God were guiding us here for this very
[05:03:07] moment in time. It was always written.
[05:03:12] Erica
[05:03:14] Grace and I will support you and your
[05:03:15] babies the way you and Charlie were
[05:03:17] there for us in our darkest days.
[05:03:21] Charlie,
[05:03:23] we will miss your words of wisdom.
[05:03:27] Your high-pitched laugh. It was kind of
[05:03:30] awkward.
[05:03:31] [Music]
[05:03:33] and the way your voice would always
[05:03:35] soften when you spoke to Erica and your
[05:03:38] children.
[05:03:39] And I promise
[05:03:42] we're going to make TPUSC so TPUSA so
[05:03:46] big that it reaches you in heaven.
[05:03:50] [Applause]
[05:03:59] Everything Charlie prayed for in his
[05:04:01] life. A restoration of faith, a rebirth
[05:04:05] of patriotism is coming to fruition in
[05:04:08] his death. And right now, he is beaming
[05:04:12] at us from heaven.
[05:04:16] The fact that we pulled this off in
[05:04:17] seven days is a miracle that only
[05:04:20] Charlie Kirk can deliver, by the way.
[05:04:24] So, in Charlie's words,
[05:04:27] let's get to work, everybody. We have a
[05:04:29] country to save.
[05:04:31] Thank you.
[05:04:35] [Music]
[05:04:38] [Applause]
[05:04:40] [Music]
[05:04:44] Well, you're about to embark on
[05:04:46] something that is much bigger than
[05:04:47] yourself. So, check your ego at the
[05:04:49] door. This is not about you. Okay? I
[05:04:52] don't care about your feelings. If
[05:04:53] you're having a bad day, you know, go
[05:04:55] figure that out yourself. This is about
[05:04:57] us. This is about the country.
[05:05:01] And the eyes of the whole nation are
[05:05:04] again on turning point.
[05:05:07] We do the best events in the movement.
[05:05:09] In fact, we do the only event. Are there
[05:05:10] any other events in the movement? No.
[05:05:12] We've kind of put everyone else out of
[05:05:13] business, right? So, we are the only
[05:05:15] standard of excellence. And so, we hold
[05:05:18] ourselves to a higher standard. We don't
[05:05:19] do mediocre around here. We try to raise
[05:05:22] the level of excellence because we are
[05:05:24] constantly trying to push the
[05:05:25] conservative movement and the country to
[05:05:27] a place it's never been before. You guys
[05:05:29] know this. Turning Point USA is the most
[05:05:31] important organization in the country.
[05:05:33] Period. Line me another organization
[05:05:35] that's been able to move millions of
[05:05:36] people the way that we have that does
[05:05:38] the events that does training. Nobody
[05:05:40] does what we do at Turning Point USA,
[05:05:42] but it starts with all of you. We're
[05:05:44] building something bigger than you,
[05:05:46] bigger than me. We're building an
[05:05:47] experience to help save the country. And
[05:05:50] if this type of intensity bothers you,
[05:05:52] well then don't go work for Turning
[05:05:54] Point USA. You can go work for the
[05:05:55] Department of Labor or something, okay?
[05:05:57] Cuz here we do excellent things, we do
[05:05:59] big things. We make history here at
[05:06:02] Turning Point USA. It's going to be
[05:06:04] early mornings, it's going to be late
[05:06:06] nights, but you all get to know that
[05:06:07] you're doing something rewarding that is
[05:06:09] not just, oh, a career and you check the
[05:06:12] box, but lives will be changed. How
[05:06:14] blessed are we that we get to be here
[05:06:16] celebrating the country and this is our
[05:06:17] job? It's pretty awesome.
[05:06:24] There's the one thing that I hear from
[05:06:25] speakers throughout all the years. Their
[05:06:27] team is so impressive and they're so
[05:06:29] young. Why is it everybody? Because for
[05:06:31] us, we hold ourselves to a higher
[05:06:33] standard. This is not just another DC
[05:06:35] gig. This is about saving Western
[05:06:37] civilization. We are the most important
[05:06:39] organization in the country. You are
[05:06:40] part of it. It's something bigger than
[05:06:43] all of us and it will have ramifications
[05:06:46] across the country. I'm so thankful for
[05:06:48] you guys. You guys have really defied
[05:06:50] gravity and let's continue to make
[05:06:52] history here.
[05:06:57] [Applause]
[05:07:04] [Music]
[05:07:15] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
[05:07:17] Andrew Cvette.
[05:07:20] [Applause]
[05:07:21] [Music]
[05:07:23] [Applause]
[05:07:32] Just give us a moment.
[05:07:38] Hello
[05:07:40] My name is Andrew Kulvet.
[05:07:44] I am spokesman for Turning Point USA.
[05:07:47] I'm a business partner of Charlie's. I
[05:07:50] was the executive producer. I am the
[05:07:52] executive producer of the Charlie Kirk
[05:07:53] show. But most of all, I'm a longtime
[05:07:56] friend of Charlie's.
[05:07:59] Charlie and I
[05:08:02] built the show over eight years,
[05:08:05] brick by brick, and I'm so proud of what
[05:08:09] we accomplished together.
[05:08:12] And these wonderful people standing
[05:08:15] behind me are the geniuses, the camera
[05:08:18] ops, the board ops, the producers, the
[05:08:21] editors, and the social media team who
[05:08:24] made the show happen every single day.
[05:08:37] you uh preempted my applause line. So,
[05:08:39] let's we're going to do it again. They
[05:08:40] deserve it.
[05:08:42] They have performed their duties
[05:08:46] heroically
[05:08:47] this last week. So, please join with me
[05:08:51] in a big round of app applause for them.
[05:09:08] [Applause]
[05:09:12] It's been
[05:09:14] excruciating
[05:09:15] [Music]
[05:09:18] to do this show the last week,
[05:09:23] but we knew it's exactly what Charlie
[05:09:27] would have wanted.
[05:09:32] And I want to thank you, the audience.
[05:09:34] You've helped us work through our grief
[05:09:37] and our broken hearts live on camera
[05:09:40] streaming everywhere.
[05:09:43] And I hope that we've been able to help
[05:09:45] you do the same in some small way.
[05:09:51] But I will tell you something. It's
[05:09:54] remarkable that in the midst of
[05:09:56] everything else Charlie had going on in
[05:09:58] his life, fundraising, traveling,
[05:10:00] speaking, running two organizations,
[05:10:03] that he even had time to fit in a daily
[05:10:06] radio show and podcast.
[05:10:09] But I'll tell you something, that show
[05:10:12] became the favorite part of Charlie's
[05:10:15] daily routine.
[05:10:17] It was his one constant amid neverending
[05:10:21] change. Even when he was on the road,
[05:10:24] even when he was overseas,
[05:10:27] even during Afest and our conferences,
[05:10:30] we did the show.
[05:10:34] But mostly it worked because Charlie
[05:10:37] loved you,
[05:10:40] the audience.
[05:10:42] He read every single email you all sent
[05:10:46] to him.
[05:10:47] That's why he said every single day,
[05:10:50] send us an email at
[05:10:51] [email protected].
[05:10:53] Send us your thoughts if you agree, you
[05:10:55] disagree, and we want you to keep
[05:10:57] sending us those emails.
[05:10:59] I have no idea how he did it, but he
[05:11:03] really read every single one of them.
[05:11:06] And this is a true story. At the end of
[05:11:08] every show, I had a little ritual of my
[05:11:11] own. I would go into the scent folder of
[05:11:15] [email protected]
[05:11:18] and sure enough, every single show I
[05:11:21] would find debates that he was having
[05:11:22] with his audience that disagreed on some
[05:11:24] minor point.
[05:11:26] There would be email chains six or seven
[05:11:29] emails long all while Charlie Kirk was
[05:11:32] hosting his own show. It's truly
[05:11:35] remarkable.
[05:11:38] and you, his audience, the grassroots,
[05:11:40] the muscular class, you all were his
[05:11:43] firewall for freedom.
[05:11:45] You were his north star. When he met
[05:11:48] fancy elites who tried to take him off
[05:11:50] course and try and tell him what regular
[05:11:53] people really cared about, he knew
[05:11:55] better because he knew all of you.
[05:12:02] Yes.
[05:12:07] He knew he had a secret weapon and it
[05:12:10] was you. And he never forgot about you
[05:12:12] because he loved you and he respected
[05:12:14] your wisdom.
[05:12:17] You see, it's only now that I'm
[05:12:19] beginning to realize what was going on
[05:12:21] all these years that I spent with
[05:12:23] Charlie.
[05:12:26] We called them campus tours.
[05:12:29] Now I know they were really tent
[05:12:31] revivals complete with a tent.
[05:12:37] Amen.
[05:12:40] We called it the Charlie Kirk show, but
[05:12:42] it was really just Charlie confronting
[05:12:44] the lies in the culture and pointing to
[05:12:47] the truth day in and day out. And
[05:12:49] millions of you tuned in.
[05:12:53] You see, I see it now clearly that
[05:12:56] Charlie Kirk was a prophet.
[05:12:59] Not the fortune-telling kind that could
[05:13:01] predict the future, but the biblical
[05:13:03] kind. He confronted evil and proclaimed
[05:13:07] the truth and called us to repent and be
[05:13:09] saved.
[05:13:12] Amen.
[05:13:18] [Applause]
[05:13:20] And he wasn't mean about it. He was kind
[05:13:23] and he was loving. And you could hear in
[05:13:25] his voice that he desperately wanted the
[05:13:27] best for you and for all of us.
[05:13:35] So friends,
[05:13:37] look around you.
[05:13:40] We've been worshiping. We've been
[05:13:41] singing. We've been joyful. Our hearts
[05:13:45] are grieving. But we do not grieve as
[05:13:47] the world grieavves.
[05:13:50] Because it says in scripture, "Oh death,
[05:13:53] where is your victory? Oh death, where
[05:13:56] is your sting? Christ has overcome
[05:13:59] death."
[05:14:01] [Applause]
[05:14:12] And Charlie,
[05:14:14] we are so grateful for the harvest that
[05:14:17] your life and legacy is producing all
[05:14:20] around us.
[05:14:22] And you can see it. The workers. There's
[05:14:24] a whole lot more workers than there were
[05:14:26] before. And so, let me leave you with
[05:14:29] this. For all the fans of the Charlie
[05:14:31] Kirk show out there, you'll know the
[05:14:32] line. We will see you Monday. Until
[05:14:36] then, buckle up. Here we go. Thank you.
[05:14:41] God bless you.
[05:14:48] [Applause]
[05:14:48] [Music]
[05:14:49] [Applause]
[05:14:54] [Music]
[05:15:23] [Applause]
[05:15:26] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
[05:15:28] Welcome Benny Johnson.
[05:15:31] [Applause]
[05:15:37] Fight for Charlie Kirk. Who feels the
[05:15:42] Holy Spirit in the house tonight?
[05:15:48] Who can feel that revival
[05:15:51] happening right now?
[05:15:56] How does it always work?
[05:15:59] What man intends for evil, God intends
[05:16:02] for good. Evil thought that there would
[05:16:05] be a funeral today. God has created a
[05:16:08] revival right here in this house right
[05:16:12] now.
[05:16:21] Charlie always had that revival energy,
[05:16:23] didn't he? When Charlie first met me, I
[05:16:25] was a degenerate loser. I'm still a
[05:16:28] loser, but I was addicted to alcohol. I
[05:16:32] had no wife. I had no kids. I had
[05:16:33] nothing going for me. After 10 years of
[05:16:36] work with Charlie Kirk, after his
[05:16:39] witnessing to my life,
[05:16:42] I have become a Christ centered man. I
[05:16:45] am happily married to the woman of my
[05:16:47] dreams, sitting right there with our
[05:16:50] youngest son, who just turned eight
[05:16:53] today. eight months.
[05:16:56] And he is wearing ducks for Charlie's
[05:16:58] beloved Oregon ducks today. That's baby
[05:17:00] Whitaker in honor of Charlie.
[05:17:06] All of you had a Charlie moment in your
[05:17:08] life, didn't you? Raise your hand if
[05:17:11] Charlie Kirk centered you a little
[05:17:12] closer to Christ.
[05:17:15] Did Charlie help you achieve your
[05:17:17] American dream a little bit more? Did
[05:17:20] Charlie have that effect? Look at every
[05:17:22] single hand. Stand up. Say amen. If
[05:17:26] Charlie Kirk had that effect on your
[05:17:30] life,
[05:17:32] look at this. 100,000
[05:17:36] Americans, millions watching online,
[05:17:40] standing up and saying that is the
[05:17:42] revival spirit of Charlie Kirk's life.
[05:17:46] And that is the power of martyrdom
[05:17:51] because Charlie Kirk is a martyr in the
[05:17:53] true Christian tradition.
[05:17:58] If you take out a tyrant,
[05:18:00] his power goes away. You cut down a
[05:18:03] martyr, his power grows.
[05:18:07] And that's what we see time and time
[05:18:10] again. We're seeing it across this
[05:18:11] country. who's seen the full churches,
[05:18:15] the full parking lots, who knows
[05:18:17] somebody now who's a Satanist or an
[05:18:20] agnostic, who's now looking at Charlie's
[05:18:22] life in this revival moment in our
[05:18:23] country and going, "Maybe I got it all
[05:18:26] wrong. Maybe I do need to Christ center
[05:18:28] my life." This is what Charlie always
[05:18:30] wanted. This is how he wanted to be
[05:18:31] remembered.
[05:18:34] in the mold of Stephen the first martyr.
[05:18:38] Stephen was killed
[05:18:41] for speaking the truth about Christ.
[05:18:43] Much like Charlie Kirk,
[05:18:46] the martyr Steven was the same age as
[05:18:49] Charlie Kirk when he was martyed.
[05:18:53] At that time, Christianity was just a
[05:18:56] few very scared Christians in Jerusalem.
[05:19:01] And after Steven's martyrdom,
[05:19:03] Christianity sped spread throughout the
[05:19:06] known world. The power of martyrdom.
[05:19:09] This is how God and Christ always
[05:19:11] advances his kingdom. And he's doing it
[05:19:13] right now with Charlie Kirk. It is a
[05:19:17] wonderful thing to see. We were all
[05:19:18] witness
[05:19:20] to a miracle.
[05:19:23] Charlie's life was a miracle. We could
[05:19:24] all see it. Those who worked up close
[05:19:26] and those who watched from far away.
[05:19:32] We got to witness a miracle in Charlie's
[05:19:35] life.
[05:19:37] Someone who was there
[05:19:40] that day when Steven was martyed was
[05:19:42] Saul. Saul was the one who was taking
[05:19:45] the garments so that Steven could be
[05:19:47] killed. And through Steven's martyrdom,
[05:19:50] the Apostle Paul was reached by Christ
[05:19:53] to go out and write the majority of the
[05:19:56] New Testament. There was no one who was
[05:19:58] irredeemable.
[05:20:01] And that is what Charlie would have
[05:20:02] wanted us to know about his faith in
[05:20:05] Jesus Christ.
[05:20:08] The power of Christ's blood and the
[05:20:10] power of martyrdom speaks through
[05:20:12] Charlie.
[05:20:14] The Apostle Paul would go on to write
[05:20:16] the book of Romans. And I'd just like to
[05:20:18] close with this.
[05:20:20] In Romans 13, the Apostle Paul talks
[05:20:23] about a godly government instituted
[05:20:27] by our Lord and Savior. And what does he
[05:20:29] describe?
[05:20:31] The Apostle Paul describes how God
[05:20:34] establishes the rulers of the nations.
[05:20:37] In the audience right now, there are
[05:20:39] rulers of our land. represented right
[05:20:42] here is the State Department, the
[05:20:45] Department of War, the Department of
[05:20:47] Justice, the Chief Executive. God has
[05:20:51] instituted them. God has given them
[05:20:55] power over our nation and our land. God
[05:20:59] saved our president, President Trump,
[05:21:02] from an assassin's bullet for this
[05:21:04] moment.
[05:21:20] And what
[05:21:22] does the Apostle Paul in Romans say
[05:21:25] about a godly leadership?
[05:21:28] He says that rulers
[05:21:31] wield the sword
[05:21:34] for the protection of good men
[05:21:37] and for the terror of evil men.
[05:21:43] May we pray that our rulers here,
[05:21:46] rightfully instituted and given power by
[05:21:49] our God, wield the sword for the terror
[05:21:52] of evil men in our nation. in Charlie's
[05:21:56] memory.
[05:22:09] I want to live in a country where the
[05:22:11] evil are terrified and where the good
[05:22:14] and the faithful and the moral people of
[05:22:16] our nation can live in peace, debate in
[05:22:19] peace, disagree in peace, and start
[05:22:22] families in peace.
[05:22:25] And so we want to thank the
[05:22:26] administration for being here and
[05:22:28] carrying out that godly mission of
[05:22:31] wielding the sword against evil.
[05:22:39] In conclusion,
[05:22:42] I'd be remiss if I didn't say this to
[05:22:44] all of the young men in the audience,
[05:22:45] and I can see so many young men out
[05:22:46] there. Charlie really reached young men
[05:22:48] and women. But this is the advice that
[05:22:50] Charlie gave me.
[05:22:53] Center your life on Christ. Fall in
[05:22:56] love.
[05:22:59] Get married.
[05:23:00] Have a million kids.
[05:23:03] And live out your American dream. And by
[05:23:06] doing that, we can create millions and
[05:23:08] millions and millions of Charlie Kirks.
[05:23:11] And we can save our land. That will be
[05:23:15] our turning point. God bless you.
[05:23:18] [Applause]
[05:23:27] And God bless Charlie Kirk. He's looking
[05:23:29] down on us, smiling from heaven.
[05:23:32] God bless you. Thank you.
[05:23:36] [Music]
[05:23:40] [Applause]
[05:23:45] Please welcome to the stage Dr. Ben
[05:23:47] Carson.
[05:23:48] [Applause]
[05:23:52] [Music]
[05:23:57] Thank you.
[05:24:01] Thank you. It's wonderful to see so many
[05:24:03] people out here for such a sad but also
[05:24:06] a wonderful purpose. You know, we at
[05:24:10] American Cornerstone Institute grieve
[05:24:12] with everyone as we think about the loss
[05:24:15] of our friend and partner Charlie Kirk.
[05:24:18] But did you hear a political figure last
[05:24:22] week saying that Charlie Kirk was
[05:24:26] ignorant because he didn't have a
[05:24:28] college degree? I've seen him run
[05:24:31] circles around people with college
[05:24:33] degrees.
[05:24:34] You know, I wonder
[05:24:41] I wonder if that political figure
[05:24:43] realizes that most of learning and life
[05:24:47] comes outside of the classroom.
[05:24:50] And I am delighted to see the young
[05:24:52] people of our land
[05:24:56] merging with the older people like me
[05:24:59] and moving in the same direction and
[05:25:01] understanding that our nation was
[05:25:03] founded upon the kind of principles that
[05:25:06] allowed us to rise from nothing to the
[05:25:09] pinnacle of the world in record time.
[05:25:12] That was no accident. That was because
[05:25:14] of what we believed, including our
[05:25:16] Judeo-Christian beliefs, that our rights
[05:25:20] come from our creator and not from
[05:25:22] government.
[05:25:31] Now, for many decades, there have been
[05:25:34] people who are trying to fundamentally
[05:25:36] change who we are. And there was a man
[05:25:40] by the name of Cleon Scousson who wrote
[05:25:45] a book called The Naked Communists in
[05:25:49] the 50s.
[05:25:51] And he exposed the things that were
[05:25:53] being done by the Marxists to gain
[05:25:56] control of our country. such things as
[05:25:59] gaining control of the public education
[05:26:02] system and the teacher unions so that
[05:26:05] you could infiltrate and indoctrinate
[05:26:08] our young people. It was
[05:26:12] a a radical leftist
[05:26:15] who said give me your children to teach
[05:26:18] for four years and the seed that I sow
[05:26:22] will never be uprooted. That's why
[05:26:24] that's what's going on. They also had a
[05:26:27] goal of gaining control of the media and
[05:26:30] Hollywood so they could change the
[05:26:32] culture in America, making sexual
[05:26:34] perversion normal, natural, and healthy.
[05:26:38] And speaking of that,
[05:26:40] pushing God out of our society and
[05:26:44] changing the gospel to the social
[05:26:47] gospel. Have you noticed that a lot of
[05:26:49] preachers don't want to talk about
[05:26:50] what's in the Bible if it's counter to
[05:26:53] the social gospel?
[05:26:55] Well, I challenge the ministers out
[05:26:58] there to talk about what the Bible says
[05:27:01] and not what the leftists say
[05:27:12] and and get on board get on board of the
[05:27:17] revival that is coming. We are not going
[05:27:20] to be able to stop it. You see evidence
[05:27:23] of it right here in this stadium. We're
[05:27:25] all going to be a part of it. I love the
[05:27:28] fact that Erica is going to take over
[05:27:31] and uh we're going to grow the turning
[05:27:33] point to a very significant level. And I
[05:27:37] want us all to remember you cannot be
[05:27:40] the land of the free if you're not the
[05:27:42] home of the brave. You got to stand up
[05:27:44] for what you believe in.
[05:27:51] And in
[05:27:54] in closing,
[05:27:55] I want to read a passage
[05:27:58] from John
[05:28:00] 12:24.
[05:28:03] remembering that Charlie was shot at
[05:28:07] 12:24
[05:28:09] p.m.
[05:28:10] Verily, verily, I say unto you, this is
[05:28:13] Christ speaking, except a corn of wheat
[05:28:16] fall onto the ground and die, it abideth
[05:28:20] alone, but if it die, it bringeth forth
[05:28:24] much fruit. And I want to thank Charlie
[05:28:27] for his sacrifice because much fruit is
[05:28:31] going to be realized. Thank you.
[05:28:38] [Music]
[05:28:53] Praise
[05:28:54] God.
[05:29:00] [Music]
[05:29:00] [Applause]
[05:29:01] [Music]
[05:29:03] Please give a warm welcome to
[05:29:04] Congresswoman Anna Pelina Luna.
[05:29:10] [Applause]
[05:29:13] [Music]
[05:29:14] [Applause]
[05:29:17] I just want to start out by saying there
[05:29:19] would be no Congresswoman Luna without
[05:29:21] Charlie Kirk.
[05:29:28] I still remember the phone call that
[05:29:30] changed my life. Hey Anna, it's Charlie.
[05:29:33] I'd like to offer you a job as TPUSA's
[05:29:36] national Hispanic outreach director.
[05:29:39] Charlie believed with every fiber of his
[05:29:41] being that the youth of this nation
[05:29:43] would save it. His fierce patriotism,
[05:29:46] his unyielding boldness, his prophetic
[05:29:48] foresight. These were the sparks that
[05:29:51] lit the path for me on the eve of my
[05:29:54] departure to medical school to decide to
[05:29:56] change course and join TPUSA, where I
[05:29:59] could help Charlie battle the socialist
[05:30:01] indoctrination on college campuses.
[05:30:06] The year I spent at TPS USA traveling
[05:30:08] with Charlie is where I honed my voice
[05:30:10] in the crucible of politics and
[05:30:12] ultimately forged the path that led me
[05:30:14] to Congress.
[05:30:16] I saw Charlie grow from a young man with
[05:30:18] conferences of a few hundred people to
[05:30:20] one of the most powerful men in the
[05:30:22] world walking alongside presidents and
[05:30:24] titans. I saw him grow a beautiful
[05:30:26] family all the while remaining a humble
[05:30:29] leader who quietly raised up others to
[05:30:31] forward the movement.
[05:30:33] Today we honor a patriot whose love of
[05:30:37] this nation burns as brightly as the
[05:30:39] founding fathers during the birth of our
[05:30:40] republic.
[05:30:43] [Applause]
[05:30:51] Like George Washington, who sacrificed
[05:30:53] his peaceful life at Mount Vernon to
[05:30:55] lead a militia and a small army against
[05:30:58] the mightiest empire on earth, risking
[05:31:00] everything, his fortune, his family, his
[05:31:04] very life to secure liberty for
[05:31:06] generations unborn. Charlie poured out
[05:31:09] his youth, his energy, and his
[05:31:11] unshakable resolve to awaken America's
[05:31:14] youth from the slumber of complacency
[05:31:16] and to mobilize millions this past
[05:31:17] election cycle to reclaim the principles
[05:31:20] of truth and self-governance that define
[05:31:22] our exceptional nation.
[05:31:25] His name will stand etched in the
[05:31:27] history besides the likes of JFK who
[05:31:29] boldly challenged a generation to ask
[05:31:32] what they could do for their country
[05:31:33] amid the shadows of the Cold War and Dr.
[05:31:36] king who marched into the jaws of
[05:31:37] hatred, sacrificing his safety and
[05:31:40] ultimately his life to bend the arc of
[05:31:41] history towards justice.
[05:31:44] These giants, Washington forging a new
[05:31:46] nation from revolution, JFK inspiring
[05:31:49] the innovation and resolve and MLK
[05:31:52] redeeming it through moral courage,
[05:31:54] changed the outcome of eras just as
[05:31:56] Charlie altered the trajectory of our
[05:31:59] modern fight against cultural decay and
[05:32:01] ideological tyranny.
[05:32:04] [Applause]
[05:32:13] He didn't just speak of patriotism, he
[05:32:16] lived it. Giving everything to ignite a
[05:32:18] movement that turned the tide for
[05:32:20] conservatism, empowering young voices to
[05:32:23] challenge a status quo and to secure a
[05:32:25] brighter future for America.
[05:32:28] And as I stand here today looking at
[05:32:31] thousands of young people in this crowd,
[05:32:33] I realize that Charlie's vision is
[05:32:35] ablaze in every single one of you, the
[05:32:38] generation that he entrusted to restore
[05:32:40] the soul of this nation.
[05:32:43] So I ask you,
[05:32:46] will you live boldly as Charlie did?
[05:32:49] Will you rise to the challenge as
[05:32:51] Charlie did? Will you speak truth
[05:32:54] without fear as Charlie did? And will
[05:32:56] you pray with unwavering faith as
[05:32:58] Charlie did?
[05:33:01] If one man can awaken a generation and
[05:33:03] save a nation, imagine what 10,000 can
[05:33:06] do. And we are all Charlie Kirk now. And
[05:33:09] his legacy has just begun.
[05:33:21] God bless all of you and these great
[05:33:22] United States of America. Thank you.
[05:33:29] [Applause]
[05:33:37] [Music]
[05:33:40] It is well
[05:33:43] [Applause]
[05:33:45] with my soul.
[05:33:48] With my soul.
[05:33:51] It is well.
[05:34:02] Please welcome to the stage Jack Pobic.
[05:34:06] [Applause]
[05:34:15] Charlie Kirk.
[05:34:20] Charlie Kirk.
[05:34:32] Charlie Kirk was my friend.
[05:34:36] Charlie was my brother.
[05:34:38] And Charlie was my commanding officer.
[05:34:43] And we will never ever let the left, the
[05:34:47] media, or the Democrats forget the name
[05:34:50] of Charlie Kirk.
[05:35:06] The Bible, We'll get there. Hold on.
[05:35:08] We'll get there.
[05:35:10] The Bible tells us that on his last day,
[05:35:15] Moses
[05:35:17] climbed to the top of the mountain and
[05:35:19] he looked across the river Jordan
[05:35:22] and he saw the promised land.
[05:35:26] He led the people there,
[05:35:29] but he did not cross himself.
[05:35:32] for he was taken and he died on that
[05:35:35] mountain
[05:35:37] and he was brought to God's kingdom.
[05:35:42] On his last day, Charlie Kirk was on the
[05:35:45] top of a mountain and Charlie Kirk led
[05:35:48] us there and Charlie Kirk has brought us
[05:35:51] to the promised land.
[05:35:54] [Applause]
[05:36:01] Charlie's death was not just a murder.
[05:36:06] The true word for what Charlie did
[05:36:10] is sacrifice.
[05:36:12] You see, the difference between murder
[05:36:15] and sacrifice
[05:36:17] is that sacrifice is a gift.
[05:36:21] Sacrifice is that last full measure of
[05:36:25] devotion for God, for country, and for
[05:36:29] his people
[05:36:31] and for his family.
[05:36:34] Charlie Kirk died for all of you.
[05:36:38] And Charlie's g Charlie Kirk's gift of
[05:36:41] his sacrifice means
[05:36:45] that Charlie Kirk will live forever. Not
[05:36:49] just for all of us, not just for his
[05:36:51] family and Erica and for his children,
[05:36:54] but for all future generations of
[05:36:57] Americans
[05:36:59] [Applause]
[05:37:08] and the question of our time.
[05:37:12] Will western civilization endure
[05:37:17] or will it fracture in two like so many
[05:37:20] predict?
[05:37:22] Well, I say to you that a century from
[05:37:25] now when they write of the two or three
[05:37:30] pivotal moments that led
[05:37:34] to the saving of western civilization.
[05:37:39] They will write that the sacrifice of
[05:37:42] Charles James Kirk was the turning point
[05:37:56] and the ugliness
[05:37:59] that was been revealed by Charlie's
[05:38:01] murder
[05:38:03] will be and is already being overcome by
[05:38:07] the beauty of The outpouring of love and
[05:38:10] prayer around the world. Seas of a
[05:38:13] thousand candles that have been liten
[05:38:15] from coast to coast
[05:38:18] for Charlie's sacrifice for all of us.
[05:38:21] We will overcome their evil.
[05:38:30] And Charlie's
[05:38:33] and Charlie's sacrifice
[05:38:37] has given us all. And I see it in your
[05:38:40] eyes. I see it in the eyes of every man,
[05:38:43] woman, and child who has come to me
[05:38:46] since this unspeakable evil happened.
[05:38:51] We have it now. Charlie gave it to us.
[05:38:55] He gave us that last bit of courage,
[05:38:59] that last bit of fight, that last bit of
[05:39:04] grit and resolve to say no more. We are
[05:39:08] done. We are done with all of it. And we
[05:39:12] will now stand and fight. Because if you
[05:39:14] took Charlie Kirk off that line, then
[05:39:17] every single one of us will rise up and
[05:39:20] we will replace that line and we will be
[05:39:23] there and we will remind them what they
[05:39:25] did for Charlie, what they did to
[05:39:27] Charlie and we will never ever let them
[05:39:30] forget the name Charlie Kirk.
[05:39:39] Our civilization will endure. The United
[05:39:43] States of America will endure. For
[05:39:47] Charlie, we will continue the mission.
[05:39:50] For Charlie, we will end the evil
[05:39:52] disease that split us and took Charlie
[05:39:55] from us. And for Charlie, Turning Point
[05:39:58] USA will last forever.
[05:40:06] And we will come to find, we will come
[05:40:10] to find that in the final moment
[05:40:14] that Western civilization was saved
[05:40:17] through Charlie's sacrifice in the only
[05:40:21] way possible
[05:40:25] by returning the people to Almighty God
[05:40:33] for greater Gater love hath no man than
[05:40:35] this,
[05:40:37] than he who laid down his life for his
[05:40:40] friends.
[05:40:42] Are you ready to continue the mission?
[05:40:46] Are you ready to fight back?
[05:40:49] And are you ready to put on the full
[05:40:52] armor of God and face the evil in high
[05:40:55] places and the spiritual warfare before
[05:40:58] us?
[05:41:00] Then put on the full armor of God. Do it
[05:41:03] now. Now is the time.
[05:41:07] This is the place. This is the turning
[05:41:11] point for Charlie.
[05:41:25] God bless to all of you. God bless to
[05:41:28] everyone. to Charlie's family to all the
[05:41:31] families
[05:41:34] and Charlie
[05:41:37] till we meet again brother
[05:41:40] [Applause]
[05:41:43] [Music]
[05:41:45] [Applause]
[05:41:45] [Music]
[05:42:06] Please welcome to the stage Frank Turk.
[05:42:10] [Applause]
[05:42:11] [Music]
[05:42:12] [Applause]
[05:42:12] [Music]
[05:42:14] [Applause]
[05:42:15] [Music]
[05:42:19] Erica wanted me to share
[05:42:22] with you what happened after that shot
[05:42:25] rang out on September 10th. I was
[05:42:29] standing 25 ft from my beloved friend
[05:42:32] just off his right.
[05:42:34] Why was I there?
[05:42:37] About five years ago, Charlie asked me
[05:42:40] if I would mentor him in the evidence
[05:42:43] for Christianity
[05:42:45] because that's one of the things I do.
[05:42:48] Now, it's going to be difficult to
[05:42:51] mentor someone smarter than you.
[05:42:54] However,
[05:42:57] the only thing that surpassed Charlie's
[05:43:00] intellect was his humility.
[05:43:04] And so the few things I knew that he
[05:43:06] didn't, he wanted me to share with him.
[05:43:09] When that shot rang out, I took a step
[05:43:11] toward him, but his security team was on
[05:43:14] him immediately.
[05:43:18] And so Charlie being like a son to me, I
[05:43:24] ran toward the security team and we ran
[05:43:26] to the SUV together.
[05:43:29] No father would stand back and go, "No,
[05:43:31] you just take my son. Take him. I'll
[05:43:33] meet you at the hospital."
[05:43:37] I got into the back of the SUV. And let
[05:43:40] me tell you something, his team was
[05:43:43] amazing.
[05:43:44] When this when this full investigation
[05:43:47] is done, I think you're going to see
[05:43:50] that his team did everything they were
[05:43:53] supposed to do. in the car. Justin was
[05:43:57] driving. Dan was in the front with the
[05:43:59] GPS.
[05:44:02] Rick was to my left. He had Charlie's
[05:44:04] head. And Brian was at Charlie's feet.
[05:44:07] And Charlie's so big we couldn't even
[05:44:09] shut the door. He's so tall.
[05:44:13] And I'm per I'm perched over the back
[05:44:15] seat.
[05:44:18] And while they're administering all
[05:44:21] sorts of first aid, apparently my skill,
[05:44:23] my job was to yell.
[05:44:25] I was doing a lot of yelling.
[05:44:28] And I want you to know that we did
[05:44:31] everything we could to save Charlie,
[05:44:36] but Charlie was already gone.
[05:44:40] His face was looking at mine, but he
[05:44:42] wasn't looking at me. He was looking
[05:44:44] past me right into eternity.
[05:44:48] And if it's any comfort at all, I
[05:44:50] learned later that Charlie felt no pain.
[05:44:54] He died instantly,
[05:44:57] but we had to try and bring him back. We
[05:44:59] couldn't we couldn't save him. Now, I
[05:45:02] want you to know that Charlie right now
[05:45:04] is in heaven.
[05:45:06] Not because he was a great husband and
[05:45:09] father. Not because he saved millions of
[05:45:12] kids out of darkness on college
[05:45:14] campuses.
[05:45:16] Not because
[05:45:18] he changed minds and chased votes to
[05:45:21] save the country. Not because he
[05:45:24] sacrificed himself for his savior.
[05:45:29] Charlie Kirk is in heaven because his
[05:45:31] savior sacrificed himself for Charlie
[05:45:34] Kirk.
[05:45:46] Now look, there's only two things you
[05:45:50] can get in the afterlife. You can get
[05:45:52] justice or you can get grace. Ladies and
[05:45:56] gentlemen, does anyone in here, does
[05:45:58] anybody out there watching around the
[05:46:00] world want justice from an infinitely
[05:46:02] just being?
[05:46:04] I don't want justice. I want grace.
[05:46:07] Well, the only way to get grace for an
[05:46:10] infinitely just being is for him to
[05:46:13] punish an innocent substitute in our
[05:46:15] place. Where can he find an innocent
[05:46:17] substitute among us? He can't. We're all
[05:46:20] fallen. So, what does this infinitely
[05:46:23] just and infinitely loving God do?
[05:46:27] He adds humanity to his deity. He comes
[05:46:30] to earth. He allows the creatures that
[05:46:33] rebelled against him to torture and kill
[05:46:37] him so he could place their punishment
[05:46:40] upon himself. And then by trusting in
[05:46:43] him, every one of us can be forgiven and
[05:46:46] then given his righteousness.
[05:46:49] Ladies and gentlemen, this is the
[05:46:50] greatest story ever told and it happens
[05:46:53] to be true.
[05:46:55] There's evidence for this and Charlie
[05:46:57] knew it. Watch his videos.
[05:47:00] [Applause]
[05:47:05] Charlie knew that life wasn't just about
[05:47:08] money. It wasn't just about sex. It
[05:47:10] wasn't just about power. It wasn't just
[05:47:12] about prestige. He knew that the purpose
[05:47:15] of life is to know Jesus and to make him
[05:47:18] known, to make heaven crowded.
[05:47:23] [Applause]
[05:47:29] Charlie's eyes were fixed on eternity.
[05:47:33] Where have your eyes been fixed? What
[05:47:35] have you been doing with your lives?
[05:47:40] What have you been doing?
[05:47:42] What are you going to do now? You know,
[05:47:45] in every evil, God brings forth some
[05:47:47] ripples of good. In this case, he's
[05:47:50] bringing a tsunami of good. Look around.
[05:47:54] You're seeing it.
[05:47:58] [Music]
[05:48:00] And if you think a martyrdom is going to
[05:48:03] stop this movement,
[05:48:08] well, we all know Charlie was
[05:48:10] inspirational.
[05:48:12] But Erica Kirk is a force of nature.
[05:48:17] You're going to see her later today.
[05:48:21] In fact,
[05:48:24] I know what's going on in the spiritual
[05:48:25] realm right now. Every morning Erica
[05:48:29] gets up, the devil shrieks, "Oh no,
[05:48:33] she's awake again."
[05:48:39] And ladies and gentlemen, let's honor
[05:48:41] Jesus. Let's honor Charlie. Let's honor
[05:48:47] Erica.
[05:48:49] So that when we wake up every morning,
[05:48:51] the devil shrieks, "Oh no, they're awake
[05:48:55] again. They're born again.

[05:51:59] We're going to take another moment.
[05:52:00] oment to honor Jesus
[05:52:03] and sing what we heard this week is one
[05:52:05] of Charlie's favorite songs.
[05:52:09] This is what John 1 says about Jesus.
[05:52:13] In the beginning, the word already
[05:52:15] existed.
[05:52:16] The word was with God and the word was
[05:52:19] God.
[05:52:20] He existed in the beginning with God.
[05:52:23] God created everything through him and
[05:52:26] nothing was created except through him.
[05:52:29] The word gave life to everything that
[05:52:31] was created and his life brought light
[05:52:33] to everyone. The light shines in the
[05:52:37] darkness and the darkness can never
[05:52:39] extinguish it.
[05:52:42] He came into the very world he created,
[05:52:44] but the world didn't recognize him. He
[05:52:47] came to his own people and even they
[05:52:49] rejected him. But to all who believed
[05:52:52] him and accepted him, he gave the right
[05:52:55] to become children of God.
[05:52:58] They are reborn not with a physical
[05:53:01] birth resulting from human passion or
[05:53:03] plan but a birth that comes from God. So
[05:53:07] the word became human and made his home
[05:53:10] among us. He was full of unfailing love
[05:53:12] and faithfulness and we have seen his
[05:53:15] glory and the glory of the father's one
[05:53:17] and only son. From his abundance we have
[05:53:20] all received one gracious blessing after
[05:53:24] another. For the law was given through
[05:53:26] Moses, but God's unfailing love and
[05:53:29] faithfulness came through Jesus Christ.
[05:53:33] No one has ever seen God, but the unique
[05:53:35] one who is himself God is near to the
[05:53:38] father's heart. He has revealed God to
[05:53:41] us.
[05:53:43] Will you pray with me?
[05:53:45] Jesus, you are the way. You are the
[05:53:48] truth. You are the life. The only way.
[05:53:53] The only truth. the only life. You are
[05:53:56] the bright morning star that shines in
[05:53:58] the darkness. You are the living water
[05:54:00] to a dry, thirsty soul. You say in
[05:54:03] Revelation 22, "Look, I am coming soon.
[05:54:07] Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let
[05:54:09] anyone who desires drink freely from the
[05:54:12] water of life." You say in Romans 10,
[05:54:15] "Everyone who calls on the name of the
[05:54:16] Lord will be saved." If we declare with
[05:54:19] our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe
[05:54:21] in our heart that God raised him from
[05:54:23] the dead, we will be saved. Jesus Christ
[05:54:26] died on a cross was risen on the third
[05:54:28] day and is coming again soon.
[05:54:33] [Music]
[05:54:39] Lord, help every searching heart see you
[05:54:41] and know you today. Let the door of
[05:54:44] every heart be open to receive you.
[05:54:46] Jesus, you are the blessing we're
[05:54:48] singing about. Let the name of the Lord
[05:54:50] Almighty be praised today. Amen. Let's
[05:54:53] sing together.

[06:01:44] [Applause]
[06:01:49] Jesus loves me. I know for the B
[06:01:56] sale
[06:02:00] with
[06:02:02] Yes, he deserves me.
[06:02:07] Yes, he does me.
[06:02:15] >> Wow. Hi, teacher.
[06:02:18] When is your bedtime?
[06:02:21] >> Hi.
[06:02:23] >> I'll see you in the morning, honey.
[06:02:24] Okay.
[06:02:28] >> I'll see you when you wake up. All
[06:02:29] right.
[06:02:31] >> I love you.
[06:02:33] >> Before he was a leader to millions. He
[06:02:36] was mine and theirs.
[06:02:41] [Applause]
[06:02:47] the best.
[06:02:48] >> I have to say this without getting
[06:02:50] emotional, but I'm very proud of my
[06:02:51] husband and I know many of you are too.
[06:02:57] >> Well, I've never met anyone quite like
[06:02:58] her. I remember I called Tyler and I
[06:03:00] said he's going to have to find talent
[06:03:01] somewhere else. And Tyler was trying to
[06:03:04] coach me down because he said that she
[06:03:06] was way out of my league. And he's still
[06:03:08] right, by the way. I mean, my wife is
[06:03:09] the best person ever and she's a patriot
[06:03:11] and she's a believer. We don't want to
[06:03:13] have to be accountable to God when this
[06:03:15] life passes. And he asks, "Why did you
[06:03:17] not trust in me and not fight evil?" For
[06:03:20] young people out there, if you want to
[06:03:22] find meaning,
[06:03:23] find something worth taking
[06:03:25] responsibility for.
[06:03:27] >> Yeah. It's been a fun journey. Fun ride.
[06:03:29] >> Just getting started.
[06:03:30] >> Yeah. Grateful for you.
[06:03:32] >> Thanks for joining the Charlie Kirk
[06:03:33] show.
[06:03:35] >> You're welcome. We should do this more
[06:03:36] often.
[06:03:42] He was 18. No money, no map, only a call
[06:03:47] from God.
[06:03:49] My political journey was in the midst of
[06:03:53] the Obama craze in Chicago. As someone
[06:03:56] who was generally conservative, I
[06:03:58] realized this generation, millennials,
[06:04:00] is going to be the most progressive
[06:04:01] generation in history if we don't do
[06:04:03] something about this.
[06:04:04] >> We're we're active in about 15 campuses
[06:04:06] and we're growing very, very quickly.
[06:04:07] And keep in mind, this is not just a
[06:04:09] flash in the pan movement. We're going
[06:04:10] to become an institution to give them
[06:04:12] the power and the confidence to stand up
[06:04:14] and let their voice be heard.
[06:04:16] >> I was 18, no idea what I was doing. No
[06:04:19] connections, no money, unlimited energy,
[06:04:22] enthusiasm, and I actually thought this
[06:04:24] was possible, which was kind of crazy if
[06:04:26] you think about it. Bill was one of the
[06:04:28] first people to believe in us at Turning
[06:04:30] Point USA and believe in me. After he
[06:04:32] heard me speak, he said, "You can't go
[06:04:33] to college." I said, "Who are you
[06:04:34] exactly?" He said, "Whatever you're
[06:04:36] doing, it's going to be bigger." He
[06:04:38] said, "You're going to start a youth
[06:04:39] organization that's going to catch the
[06:04:40] whole world on fire."
[06:04:42] >> Only in America can a young man with a
[06:04:46] dream
[06:04:48] change the world.
[06:04:50] >> So, starting in that garage in Lamont,
[06:04:52] Illinois that Bill had for us at 217 12
[06:04:55] Illinois Street and growing from that
[06:04:58] forward was a battle. So the first year
[06:05:00] you raised $20,000 which at the time was
[06:05:04] unbelievable amount of money right we
[06:05:06] didn't have an office we didn't have a
[06:05:07] staff it was just me just traveling the
[06:05:09] country doing this pure grit pure energy
[06:05:11] and I was driven by core ideas and core
[06:05:13] principles that we should be thankful
[06:05:15] not angry to live in this country would
[06:05:16] you agree we should be thankful we
[06:05:18] should be kissing the ground and say we
[06:05:19] are the luckiest human beings ever to
[06:05:21] exist that we are able to live in this
[06:05:23] country at this time America is the
[06:05:26] greatest country ever to exist period
[06:05:28] bar none is the greatest country ever to
[06:05:30] exist, right?
[06:05:34] >> He loved debate because he loved the
[06:05:37] truth
[06:05:38] and the people on the other side of the
[06:05:41] table because they all were made in
[06:05:44] God's image.
[06:05:46] >> So, I go to college campuses and there's
[06:05:48] a lot of error. We're all sinners. We
[06:05:49] all live in error. We as Christians are
[06:05:52] called to go into the public arena to
[06:05:54] correct error with truth. I'm far more
[06:05:58] interested in what God wants of me than
[06:06:00] what I want of from God. I have the
[06:06:02] greatest job in the world. I couldn't be
[06:06:04] happier. Every day I feel as if what I'm
[06:06:06] saying, what I'm doing is making a
[06:06:07] difference. To be perfectly honest, I
[06:06:09] love the debate. I love the exploration
[06:06:11] of ideas. I think dialogue is a gift
[06:06:14] given to us by God. Prove me wrong. I
[06:06:16] have no notes. I have no AI. I have
[06:06:18] nothing. Tell me why you're correct. For
[06:06:22] 3 hours, I will sit there and everyone
[06:06:24] will watch. It's a gladatorial match for
[06:06:26] the best ideas of the west.
[06:06:29] >> And their needs changed him and he
[06:06:32] changed them.
[06:06:33] >> You see, you're being called upon to be
[06:06:35] a leader. Let's say that's not merely
[06:06:37] political. That's why my understanding
[06:06:39] of it.
[06:06:39] >> Correct. It's an enormous
[06:06:41] responsibility.
[06:06:42] Enormous. I also need to balance as
[06:06:45] Christ would say being as much truth
[06:06:47] which of course I'm inclined towards as
[06:06:49] love. What is God's plan when I go on a
[06:06:51] college campus? I just believe I will
[06:06:52] only tell truth. I will not compromise
[06:06:55] and I'll love on the lost.
[06:06:56] >> He was no stranger to threats, to being
[06:06:59] hated, to being doubted, but he went out
[06:07:02] anyway for America, for you.
[06:07:07] >> Turn any point will live longer than me.
[06:07:08] That's my mission.
[06:07:10] >> He carried his love for the nation in
[06:07:12] his hand and in the other he carried us.
[06:07:17] you have worked so hard and I know a lot
[06:07:19] of you have seen obviously his videos on
[06:07:22] TikTok and all the stuff he does on
[06:07:24] campus, but no one gets to see him from
[06:07:28] my angle except for myself and our
[06:07:30] children and the sacrifices that he made
[06:07:33] this year.
[06:07:36] He's amazing. I'm very blessed
[06:07:38] >> and I I would not have been able to do
[06:07:39] any of it without Erica. When it comes
[06:07:42] to your child, you are tasked to protect
[06:07:45] them both physically, spiritually, and
[06:07:47] emotionally. Once you have kids, there
[06:07:49] is this primal thing that comes into you
[06:07:51] where if you think you have worked hard
[06:07:53] before, when you have to go feed a child
[06:07:55] and provide for a family, you are
[06:07:57] willing to go to the ends of the earth
[06:07:58] and push yourself in ways that you never
[06:08:00] thought possible. And that is your
[06:08:02] initial and most important task as a
[06:08:04] father.
[06:08:05] Every single person in this building, we
[06:08:09] owe something to Charlie. He was a
[06:08:11] joyful warrior for our country. He loved
[06:08:14] America. He devoted himself tirelessly
[06:08:16] to making our country a better place. He
[06:08:19] was a critical part of getting Donald
[06:08:21] Trump elected as president, getting me
[06:08:23] elected as vice president. And so much
[06:08:25] of our success over the last 7 months is
[06:08:28] due to his efforts, his staffing, his
[06:08:31] support, and his friendship.
[06:08:32] >> The media said the Turning Point could
[06:08:34] never run a ground game. They weren't
[06:08:37] experienced. They didn't know Charlie,
[06:08:38] right? You need tremendous talent to do
[06:08:41] what he's done, building one of the most
[06:08:44] powerful youth organizations ever
[06:08:46] created, Turning Point USA. And I want
[06:08:48] to thank you really, Charlie. Incredible
[06:08:49] job.
[06:08:51] >> I want you to remember that we did not
[06:08:53] earn this. This this is this is God's
[06:08:55] mercy on our country.
[06:08:58] >> What he built will endure.
[06:09:06] Taking the deep but sometimes the
[06:09:09] difficult road is the way that you
[06:09:11] should configure your life. Getting
[06:09:13] married and having children is a
[06:09:15] difficult but deep decision that I hope
[06:09:18] every single one of you make at some
[06:09:20] point in your life because for every
[06:09:22] single one of you, there are a couple
[06:09:23] thousand students that wish they could
[06:09:26] speak out like you do. And courage is a
[06:09:28] choice. It takes no skill to be
[06:09:32] courageous. You might come up to the
[06:09:34] microphone and say, "Charlie, I don't
[06:09:35] know my talent. I don't my don't know my
[06:09:37] skill." The cool thing about being
[06:09:38] courageous is you just have to say, "I
[06:09:40] choose to be courageous. What can I do
[06:09:43] to save the country?" You answer that
[06:09:45] question every single day because you
[06:09:47] are doing the work to save this
[06:09:50] beautiful republic. You are doing
[06:09:51] something that is bigger than you.
[06:09:55] >> He loved this country. He fought for
[06:09:58] this country. Now we all live to honor
[06:10:02] his fight.
[06:10:03] >> What young people especially are
[06:10:05] screaming at is they say, "Give me a
[06:10:08] structure that I can live my life by."
[06:10:11] And especially with young men, more
[06:10:13] challenging of them, more saying, "You
[06:10:15] know what? Honestly, I'm not going to
[06:10:17] talk down to you. Stop being a boy and
[06:10:19] become a man. You want to learn what
[06:10:20] that means? Come to church and I'll tell
[06:10:22] you what it means to become a man. Cuz
[06:10:23] we have the greatest story ever told. If
[06:10:26] everything
[06:10:28] completely goes away, how do you want to
[06:10:30] be remembered?
[06:10:31] >> I want to be I want to be remembered for
[06:10:32] for courage for my faith. That that
[06:10:35] would be the most important thing. Most
[06:10:36] important thing is my faith in my life.
[06:10:39] [Music]
[06:10:41] [Applause]
[06:10:51] >> All right. Ready? Freedom on three.
[06:10:53] >> One, two, three. Freedom.
[06:10:55] [Applause]
[06:10:58] First stop.
[06:10:59] >> Wow. Look at that. Beautiful.
[06:11:04] >> Look at that.
[06:11:09] >> All right. 3 2 1 smile.
[06:11:13] >> Awesome, guys. Thank you.
[06:11:14] >> Thank you.

[06:13:27] [Music]
[06:13:35] Good afternoon.
[06:13:37] Charlie Kirk was one of my best friends.
[06:13:41] The world of politics can be full of
[06:13:43] transactional people. Charlie wasn't one
[06:13:46] of them. He was the polar opposite. He
[06:13:49] loved life and he loved the people in
[06:13:51] his life. Charlie led with his faith and
[06:13:55] fought with his heart.
[06:13:57] One of the things I will miss the most
[06:13:59] is receiving a text every morning from
[06:14:01] Charlie with a daily Bible verse.
[06:14:04] Charlie would help set the tone of the
[06:14:06] day for so many of us. He loved Jesus
[06:14:10] Christ.
[06:14:12] The other side was terrified of Charlie
[06:14:14] because Charlie embodied the spirit of
[06:14:17] MAGA.
[06:14:19] Always fighting for America, never
[06:14:21] backing down.
[06:14:24] He dared to debate. Charlie didn't just
[06:14:27] step into the fight, he ran towards it.
[06:14:30] And he always did it with a smile.
[06:14:34] Charlie knew this fight was bigger than
[06:14:36] politics. Charlie was more than an
[06:14:38] activist.
[06:14:40] Charlie was a modern-day disciple who
[06:14:43] preached about the greatness of America,
[06:14:46] not just across our land, but around the
[06:14:48] globe.
[06:14:50] Charlie knew that we are in a spiritual
[06:14:52] war for the heart, soul, and future of
[06:14:55] America. And he was ultimately killed
[06:14:58] because of it.
[06:15:00] I want to share with you the personal
[06:15:02] side of Charlie. Charlie was funny.
[06:15:05] Charlie cared deeply about others.
[06:15:08] Charlie looked forward to the next
[06:15:10] adventure.
[06:15:11] For over a decade, we created countless
[06:15:14] memories. From hunting alligators in
[06:15:16] Louisiana to eating seal in Greenland to
[06:15:20] countless nights on the patio Mara Lago
[06:15:22] as President Trump played Phantom of the
[06:15:25] Opera.
[06:15:26] When President Trump started talking
[06:15:28] about the importance of Greenland to our
[06:15:30] national security, Charlie was one of
[06:15:33] the first people who thought it would be
[06:15:34] a great idea to visit. He was he was
[06:15:37] also one of the first to fall in the
[06:15:39] snow upon arrival. But without a beat,
[06:15:42] Charlie got up and continued onwards
[06:15:45] with a smile.
[06:15:47] No matter what, Charlie always marched
[06:15:50] forward. He embodied the MAGA warrior,
[06:15:54] never backing down.
[06:15:57] Charlie was all Trump.
[06:16:00] When the president had an idea, no
[06:16:02] matter how big it was, Charlie was
[06:16:05] always willing to make it happen.
[06:16:08] One time on a trip to Louisiana,
[06:16:12] Charlie forced the group to leave early
[06:16:14] and fly to New York City. He had to rush
[06:16:18] and get to Fox News for an interview
[06:16:20] with Judge Janine. When we arrived in
[06:16:23] New York, it turned out Janine wasn't
[06:16:25] even in New York. She was filming
[06:16:27] remotely.
[06:16:28] The real reason Charlie was in a hurry.
[06:16:31] He had dinner plans with the woman who
[06:16:34] would become the love of his life and
[06:16:36] the mother of his two beautiful
[06:16:38] children. Erica, we love you. We support
[06:16:42] you and we will always be here for you.
[06:16:46] after
[06:16:54] After we won the after we won the last
[06:16:57] election, the presidential transition
[06:16:59] kicked into high gear. Charlie knew the
[06:17:02] importance of hiring loyal patriots for
[06:17:05] this administration, and Charlie worked
[06:17:08] every single day to ensure we got the
[06:17:11] very best of them in the door. Countless
[06:17:14] individuals are currently in key roles
[06:17:17] across our government because of Charlie
[06:17:20] Kirk.
[06:17:21] [Applause]
[06:17:28] Today, I want to ask every person in
[06:17:31] this arena and the millions more
[06:17:33] watching around the world, will you make
[06:17:36] sure that we continue to build upon what
[06:17:39] Charlie Kirk started?
[06:17:45] I want to ask each and every one of you
[06:17:47] today, if you believe in America, stand
[06:17:50] up.
[06:17:55] If you believe Charlie Kirk represented
[06:17:59] the best of us, stand up.
[06:18:05] If you believe in the power of Charlie
[06:18:07] Kirk, his mission, his courage, his
[06:18:10] conviction, stand up.
[06:18:16] Charlie, we miss you. We love you. We
[06:18:20] wish you were here with us today. We
[06:18:23] will never forget you. Rest in peace, my
[06:18:25] brother.

[06:18:49] [Music]
[06:18:58] Hello, Turning Point.
[06:19:01] Hello, Patriots.
[06:19:05] Hello to our fearless president, Donald
[06:19:08] J. Trump.
[06:19:13] And hello to millions of Americans all
[06:19:16] across this land
[06:19:18] who are gathered
[06:19:21] in sadness and sorrow
[06:19:24] to mourn Charlie Kirk, but also
[06:19:30] to dedicate ourselves
[06:19:32] to finishing his mission and achieving
[06:19:36] victory in his name.
[06:19:39] [Applause]
[06:19:46] The day that Charlie died,
[06:19:49] the angels wept, but those tears have
[06:19:53] been turned into fire in our hearts.
[06:19:58] And that fire burns
[06:20:01] with a righteous fury that our enemies
[06:20:04] cannot comprehend or understand.
[06:20:08] When I see Erica and her strength and
[06:20:12] her courage,
[06:20:14] I am reminded of a famous expression.
[06:20:19] The storm whispers to the warrior
[06:20:24] that you cannot withstand my strength.
[06:20:27] And the warrior whispers back, "I am the
[06:20:30] storm."
[06:20:33] Erica is the storm.
[06:20:37] We are the storm and our enemies cannot
[06:20:41] comprehend our strength, our
[06:20:44] determination, our resolve, our passion.
[06:20:49] Our lineage and our legacy
[06:20:52] hails back to Athens, to Rome, to
[06:20:56] Philadelphia, to Montichello. Our
[06:20:59] ancestors built the cities. They
[06:21:02] produced the art and architecture. They
[06:21:05] built the industry.
[06:21:07] Erica stands on the shoulders of
[06:21:10] thousands of years of warriors of women
[06:21:14] who raised up families, raised up city,
[06:21:16] raised up industry,
[06:21:18] raised up civilization,
[06:21:21] who pulled us out of the caves and the
[06:21:23] darkness into the light. The light will
[06:21:26] defeat the dark. We will prevail over
[06:21:30] the forces of wickedness and evil. They
[06:21:34] cannot imagine what they have awakened.
[06:21:37] They cannot conceive of the army that
[06:21:41] they have arisen in all of us.
[06:21:44] Because we stand for what is good, what
[06:21:47] is virtuous, what is noble. And to those
[06:21:50] trying to incite violence against us,
[06:21:53] those trying to fment hatred against us,
[06:21:56] what do you have?
[06:21:58] You have nothing. You are nothing. You
[06:22:02] are wickedness. You are jealousy. You
[06:22:04] are envy. You are hatred. You are
[06:22:07] nothing. You can build nothing. You can
[06:22:10] produce nothing. You can create nothing.
[06:22:14] We are the ones who build. We are the
[06:22:17] ones who create. We are the ones who
[06:22:20] lift up humanity.
[06:22:23] You thought you could kill Charlie Kirk.
[06:22:27] You have made him immortal. You have
[06:22:29] immortalized Charlie Kirk. And now
[06:22:32] millions will carry on his legacy.
[06:22:36] And we will devote the rest of our lives
[06:22:41] to finishing the causes for which
[06:22:44] Charlie gave his last measure of
[06:22:46] devotion.
[06:22:48] You cannot defeat us. You cannot slow
[06:22:50] us. You cannot stop us. You cannot deter
[06:22:53] us. We will carry Charlie and Erica in
[06:22:56] our heart every single day and fight
[06:22:59] that much harder because of what you did
[06:23:02] to us. You have no idea the dragon you
[06:23:06] have awakened. You have no idea how
[06:23:10] determined we will be to save this
[06:23:12] civilization, to save the West, to save
[06:23:16] this republic.
[06:23:19] Because our children are strong and our
[06:23:22] grandchildren will be strong and our
[06:23:24] children's children's children will be
[06:23:26] strong. And what will you leave behind?
[06:23:29] Nothing. Nothing. To our enemies. You
[06:23:32] have nothing to give. You have nothing
[06:23:34] to offer. You have nothing to share but
[06:23:36] bitterness. We have beauty. We have
[06:23:39] light. We have goodness. We have
[06:23:41] determination. We have vision. We have
[06:23:44] strength. We built the world that we
[06:23:46] inhabit now. generation by generation.
[06:23:50] And we will defend this world. We will
[06:23:53] defend goodness. We will defend light.
[06:23:55] We will defend virtue. You cannot
[06:23:57] terrify us. You cannot frighten us. You
[06:24:00] cannot threaten us. Because we are on
[06:24:03] the side of goodness. We are on the side
[06:24:06] of God. And to my friend Charlie, to my
[06:24:09] brother Charlie,
[06:24:12] I know you are looking at us right now.
[06:24:15] I know you're watching Erica right now.
[06:24:17] I know you're watching your children
[06:24:19] right now. And I promise you, my friend,
[06:24:22] I promise you, my brother,
[06:24:26] we will prove worthy of your sacrifice.
[06:24:30] We will prove worthy of your time on
[06:24:32] earth. We will make you proud. We will
[06:24:37] finish the job. We will defeat the
[06:24:39] forces of darkness and evil. And we will
[06:24:42] stand every day for what is true, what
[06:24:45] is beautiful, what is good. And we will
[06:24:49] achieve victory for our children, for
[06:24:52] our families, for our civilization, and
[06:24:55] for every patriot who stands with us.
[06:24:58] God bless you. God bless Turning Point.
[06:25:02] God bless Erica. God bless the Kirk
[06:25:05] family. God bless our heroes. And God
[06:25:08] bless the United States of America.
[06:25:10] Thank you.

[06:25:29] [Music]
[06:25:35] [Music]
[06:25:44] Good afternoon and what an honor to be
[06:25:46] here with all of you. Those of you who
[06:25:50] loved Charlie and love Erica.
[06:25:53] I was blessed to work with Charlie these
[06:25:55] past few years. And I know he is looking
[06:25:59] down now rejoicing because his life, his
[06:26:03] words, his courage to speak the truth
[06:26:06] about God, family, and country built the
[06:26:09] most powerful youth movement in our
[06:26:13] time.
[06:26:20] Many of you knew Charlie better than I
[06:26:22] did. And if you did, you experienced the
[06:26:25] gift of being lifted by his conviction
[06:26:28] and his joy.
[06:26:31] For Charlie, making America great again
[06:26:34] meant bringing young people to this
[06:26:36] movement and making sure they knew they
[06:26:39] belonged.
[06:26:40] Like our president says, it's a movement
[06:26:43] of common sense, and it makes sense.
[06:26:47] Love your God. Love your family. Love
[06:26:51] your country. and help the next
[06:26:53] generation live into those values
[06:26:57] boldly.
[06:26:59] Through turning point, Charlie gave us
[06:27:01] countless young Americans who had their
[06:27:05] first turning point the moment they
[06:27:06] decided to stand up, speak out, and make
[06:27:09] America all that she could be.
[06:27:13] When the president's 2024 campaign
[06:27:15] partnered with Turning Point, Charlie
[06:27:17] did not just promise, he delivered.
[06:27:21] Charlie and his team embraced the
[06:27:24] assigned mission completely and they
[06:27:27] didn't meet expectations.
[06:27:29] They sha shuttered shattered them and
[06:27:31] blew them out of the water. President
[06:27:34] Trump's victory winning the popular vote
[06:27:37] and every swing state was powered by
[06:27:39] young people. Most brand new to
[06:27:42] politics. That was Charlie's army. And
[06:27:46] he made sure they understood the stakes.
[06:27:56] They outworked. They out hustled and
[06:27:59] outperformed everyone else. Charlie just
[06:28:03] didn't help. He made the winning
[06:28:05] difference. I promise you that.
[06:28:11] And I believe Charlie is still urging us
[06:28:14] on, urging us not to sit back, not to be
[06:28:16] quiet, but to carry on his mission
[06:28:19] forward, loudly, proudly, and with the
[06:28:22] same conviction he showed.
[06:28:26] So I ask you, let us honor Charlie in
[06:28:29] the best way possible by continuing his
[06:28:32] work, by building on the foundation he
[06:28:35] laid, and by making sure this generation
[06:28:39] knows that this movement is their home.
[06:28:44] May God bless Erica and their beautiful
[06:28:47] children,
[06:28:49] and may he hold them in the palm of his
[06:28:51] hands always.

[06:29:16] [Music]
[06:29:30] Ladies and gentlemen, Tucker Carlson.
[06:29:38] [Music]
[06:29:43] Oh, that made me emotional.
[06:29:46] Made me emotional to see that Susie
[06:29:49] Wilds had tears in her eyes. H which you
[06:29:51] don't you don't often see in politics,
[06:29:54] but it's real. This is the most
[06:29:56] unbelievable thing I think I've ever
[06:29:57] seen. And I don't
[06:30:01] what whatever happens next in America, I
[06:30:05] hope it's in this direction because God
[06:30:07] is here and you can feel it. And Charlie
[06:30:10] would have loved this, not just because
[06:30:12] he loved large groups of people, but
[06:30:14] because ultimately he was a Christian
[06:30:16] evangelist. And it it actually reminds
[06:30:18] me of my favorite story ever. So, it's
[06:30:22] about 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem and
[06:30:26] Jesus shows up and he starts talking
[06:30:28] about the people in power
[06:30:30] and he starts doing the worst thing that
[06:30:33] you can do, which is telling the truth
[06:30:34] about people. And they hate it and they
[06:30:37] just go bonkers. They hate it. and they
[06:30:39] become obsessed with making him stop.
[06:30:41] This guy's got to stop talking. We've
[06:30:43] got to shut this guy up. And I can just
[06:30:46] sort of picture the scene in a lamp lit
[06:30:48] room with a bunch of guys sitting around
[06:30:50] eating hummus thinking about what do we
[06:30:51] do about this guy telling the truth
[06:30:54] about us? We must make him stop talking.
[06:30:58] And there's always one guy with the
[06:31:00] bright idea and I could just hear him
[06:31:01] say, "I've got an idea. Why don't we
[06:31:02] just kill him? That'll shut him up.
[06:31:06] That'll fix the problem.
[06:31:13] It doesn't work that way.
[06:31:16] It doesn't work that way. Everything is
[06:31:18] inverted. And the biatitudes tell it, I
[06:31:20] think, the most crisply. Everything is
[06:31:22] sort of the opposite of what you think
[06:31:23] it's going to be. Blessed are those who
[06:31:26] mourn for they will be comforted. That
[06:31:27] is true. And you can feel it here.
[06:31:30] The thing about Charlie's message, I
[06:31:32] thought a lot about it, and I'm trying
[06:31:33] not to be emotional because in addition
[06:31:35] to everything else, he was a wonderful
[06:31:37] man and a decent man and one of those
[06:31:39] rare people you meet who you just groove
[06:31:40] with in conversation and have these very
[06:31:43] intense conversations that you don't
[06:31:44] stop thinking about, which is my
[06:31:46] experience with him. But the main thing
[06:31:48] about Charlie and his message, he was
[06:31:51] bringing the gospel to the country. He
[06:31:54] was doing the thing that the people in
[06:31:57] charge hate most, which is calling for
[06:32:00] them to repent.
[06:32:02] So, how is Charlie's message different?
[06:32:05] And Charlie was a political person who
[06:32:08] was deeply interested in coalition
[06:32:11] building and in getting the right people
[06:32:13] in office because he knew that vast
[06:32:16] improvements are possible politically.
[06:32:18] But he also knew that politics is not
[06:32:22] the final answer. can't answer the
[06:32:23] deepest questions actually that the only
[06:32:27] real solution is Jesus.
[06:32:32] And the reason it's really simple
[06:32:36] politics at its core is a process of
[06:32:40] critiquing other people and getting them
[06:32:42] to change. Christianity, the gospel
[06:32:46] message, the message of Jesus begins
[06:32:48] with repentance.
[06:32:51] Christianity calls upon you to change.
[06:32:57] Our core prayer given to us by Jesus,
[06:33:00] the Lord's prayer,
[06:33:03] demands that we forgive other people.
[06:33:05] But preceding that is a request for our
[06:33:08] forgiveness. In other words, forgive us
[06:33:11] our sins. Meditate on what we've done
[06:33:13] wrong, how we've fallen short, and then
[06:33:16] it becomes possible to forgive other
[06:33:18] people.
[06:33:20] That is a call to change our hearts from
[06:33:23] Jesus. And that is the only way forward
[06:33:26] in this country. That is the only
[06:33:28] solution to where we all know we're
[06:33:29] going. And Charlie knew where we were
[06:33:32] going without that. And that is not a
[06:33:35] call for being politically passive. Of
[06:33:36] course not. I stood in many stages with
[06:33:39] Charlie calling for various people to be
[06:33:40] elected, particularly Donald Trump. And
[06:33:43] I'm proud of that.
[06:33:44] It's only an acknowledgement that what
[06:33:46] Charlie was really saying is that change
[06:33:49] begins, the only change that matters
[06:33:52] when we repent of our sins.
[06:33:56] We me
[06:33:58] a recognition that the real problem is
[06:34:00] me and how fallen I am. And that was the
[06:34:05] reason that Charlie was fearless at all
[06:34:09] times. Truly fearless to his last
[06:34:11] moment. He was unafraid.
[06:34:14] He was not defensive. And there was no
[06:34:16] hate in his heart. I know that because
[06:34:19] I've got a little hate compartment in my
[06:34:20] heart. And I would often express that to
[06:34:22] Charlie about various people. And he
[06:34:24] would always say, always say, "That's a
[06:34:27] sad person. That's a broken person.
[06:34:29] That's person who needs help. That's a
[06:34:31] person who needs Jesus."
[06:34:33] He said that in private
[06:34:36] cuz he meant it.
[06:34:38] So, I guess I would just say this
[06:34:40] gathering and God's presence, God's very
[06:34:42] obvious presence in this room, the
[06:34:44] presence of Jesus is a reminder
[06:34:47] of what we've known for 2,000 years,
[06:34:50] which is any attempt to extinguish the
[06:34:54] light causes it to burn brighter every
[06:34:57] single time.
[06:35:02] So, as we
[06:35:05] as we proceed into whatever comes next,
[06:35:08] and clearly something's coming next,
[06:35:13] remember this moment. Remember being in
[06:35:15] a room with the Holy Spirit humming like
[06:35:18] a tuning fork.
[06:35:21] This is the way right here. This is the
[06:35:24] way. And that is what Charlie Kirk was
[06:35:27] saying underneath it all. Thank you and
[06:35:29] God bless.

[06:41:31] Charlie lived his life as a warrior for
[06:41:34] truth and for freedom. every single day
[06:41:37] choosing to step into the arena armed
[06:41:40] with the Constitution,
[06:41:42] sparring through debate on the
[06:41:44] battlefield of ideas, fighting for the
[06:41:46] heart of our democratic republic
[06:41:49] and the unalienable rights endowed upon
[06:41:52] every one of us by our creator.
[06:41:56] Charlie lived what our founders
[06:41:59] envisioned.
[06:42:01] Freedom, the right to speak even when we
[06:42:04] disagree. freedom.
[06:42:06] I may not agree with what you say, but I
[06:42:08] will fight to defend to the death with
[06:42:12] my very life your right to speak.
[06:42:16] Free speech is the foundation of our
[06:42:18] democratic republic. We must protect it
[06:42:21] at all costs because without it, we'll
[06:42:24] be lost.
[06:42:26] Charlie knew this. He lived it.
[06:42:32] Charlie stood in the arena armed with
[06:42:35] superior arguments, with truth, reason,
[06:42:40] propelled and motivated by his love for
[06:42:42] God, his love for others, his love for
[06:42:45] our great nation.
[06:42:48] His words were his weapons. He slayed
[06:42:51] ignorance. He cut through lies.
[06:42:55] He woke people's minds, inspired
[06:42:58] people's hearts, and imparted wisdom
[06:43:02] every day.
[06:43:04] Now, for those of us who knew Charlie,
[06:43:06] and even those of you who may never have
[06:43:08] had the chance to meet him in person, we
[06:43:10] all know and experienced how Charlie
[06:43:12] spoke with a calm courage, not asking,
[06:43:16] "What will God do for me?" But instead
[06:43:19] praying, "God,
[06:43:21] use me for your will.
[06:43:25] He showed respect and compassion for
[06:43:27] everyone, even those who opposed him.
[06:43:31] And I think especially for those who
[06:43:33] opposed him, he invited them to his
[06:43:35] table or on his show, saying, "Let's
[06:43:38] talk."
[06:43:40] Sitting with Charlie here in Arizona at
[06:43:43] ASU last year, seeing and experiencing
[06:43:46] him in action was truly a sight to
[06:43:49] behold.
[06:43:51] Because in Charlie, he sincerely wanted
[06:43:53] people to know the truth. Because it's
[06:43:56] the truth that sets us free. It is the
[06:44:00] truth that keeps us free.
[06:44:12] Now, Charlie,
[06:44:14] he chose our schools as his arena
[06:44:17] because he knows that they are meant to
[06:44:19] teach, to train our young people to
[06:44:22] think critically, to debate ideas, to
[06:44:24] test their strength through a clash of
[06:44:27] reason. But too often these schools
[06:44:30] silence debate,
[06:44:32] saying words are violence and dissenting
[06:44:35] voices are hushed. And those who speak
[06:44:37] of God, those who speak the truth,
[06:44:41] simple objective truths like there are
[06:44:43] only two genders in these schools, they
[06:44:46] are told, "You have no voice."
[06:44:56] Charlie chose this arena to take these
[06:44:59] people head-on to challenge these
[06:45:01] institutions, these students and
[06:45:03] faculty, encouraging them to come to
[06:45:07] speak honestly. Bring your ideas, debate
[06:45:10] loudly and think critically.
[06:45:13] And Charlie did this so well. He was
[06:45:16] winning. So much winning.
[06:45:20] So much so that the forces of darkness,
[06:45:23] hate and evil were threatened by him and
[06:45:26] tried to silence him.
[06:45:30] History shows this dark pattern that
[06:45:32] when ideas cannot withstand scrutiny,
[06:45:35] whether it's the ideology of so-called
[06:45:37] religious fanatics or political
[06:45:39] fanatics, their defenders, terrified
[06:45:41] that their weak ideas will be exposed
[06:45:43] for what they are, turn to intimidation,
[06:45:47] censorship, and violence.
[06:45:50] They kill and terrorize their opponents
[06:45:52] hoping to silence them. But in this evil
[06:45:56] that we have experienced that Charlie
[06:45:59] faced, their flawed ideology is exposed.
[06:46:02] Because by trying to silence Charlie,
[06:46:06] his voice is now louder than ever.
[06:46:10] His
[06:46:13] message
[06:46:15] is more powerful and impactful than
[06:46:19] ever. The truths that he spoke have
[06:46:21] spread hundfold
[06:46:24] as Charlie was fearless. But where did
[06:46:26] his fearlessness come from? The answer
[06:46:29] lies in Corinth Corinthians. Therefore,
[06:46:32] be always of good courage and know that
[06:46:34] while we are at home in the body, we are
[06:46:37] absent from the Lord. We are of good
[06:46:40] courage. which I say and prefer to be
[06:46:42] absent from the body and at home with
[06:46:45] the Lord. Therefore, we have as our
[06:46:48] ambition whether at home or absent to be
[06:46:53] pleasing to him.
[06:46:56] So our call to action is now. Every one
[06:46:59] of us needs to be a warrior like Charlie
[06:47:02] to take shelter in God to draw strength
[06:47:05] and fearlessness from the Lord who sits
[06:47:07] within every one of our hearts. to stand
[06:47:10] together, continue the mission that
[06:47:12] Charlie dedicated his life to, to
[06:47:14] sharpen our weapons of truth, common
[06:47:18] sense, and reason to train, to study,
[06:47:22] learn, and to speak. Exercise our
[06:47:25] God-given right to speak, and carry that
[06:47:28] torch that shines brightly because of
[06:47:31] God's love.
[06:47:34] So right now,
[06:47:37] if you feel
[06:47:39] afraid or lost, confused, not sure
[06:47:44] exactly what to do,
[06:47:46] don't be.
[06:47:48] God says, "Don't be afraid.
[06:47:51] I am with you. I will strengthen you and
[06:47:55] help you." And he is with us. He sits
[06:47:59] within every one of our hearts just
[06:48:01] waiting for us to choose him.
[06:48:05] To say as Charlie did, God
[06:48:08] use me for your will.
[06:48:12] To say, God, my life is yours. My I am
[06:48:15] yours. My heart is yours. Let me serve
[06:48:18] you.
[06:48:21] Now is the time for us to step into the
[06:48:24] arena and to stand as warriors for
[06:48:27] freedom and truth and fight.
[06:48:32] May God bless you all. We love you,
[06:48:34] Charlie.
[06:48:36] May God bless this great nation.
[06:48:40] Thank you.

[06:49:14] [Applause]
[06:49:21] About uh
[06:49:23] maybe 10 or 12 years ago, a person I
[06:49:26] knew very well, had been very helpful to
[06:49:27] me in my campaigns when I was in the
[06:49:29] Senate, came to me and said she had met
[06:49:31] this very impressive young man and he
[06:49:34] was going to start this group to go on
[06:49:35] college campuses
[06:49:37] and try to convince young Americans
[06:49:40] that ours was the greatest country in
[06:49:42] the history of the world and that
[06:49:45] Marxism was bad.
[06:49:48] And I remember thinking back then, I was
[06:49:50] I'm going to admit to you guys, I was a
[06:49:51] little skeptical. I said, "College
[06:49:53] campuses, you're going to do that? Why
[06:49:54] don't you start somewhere easier, like
[06:49:56] for example, communist Cuba?" You know,
[06:50:02] but my skepticism was proven wrong.
[06:50:05] and place after place over the last 12,
[06:50:07] 14, 16 years, we've seen this
[06:50:09] renaissance. Understand where we were at
[06:50:12] that time in our history.
[06:50:14] Understand where we are still today in
[06:50:16] many places where young Americans are
[06:50:18] actively told that everything that they
[06:50:20] were taught that all the foundations
[06:50:22] that made our society and our
[06:50:24] civilization so grand, they were all
[06:50:26] wrong, they were all evil, that marriage
[06:50:28] is oppressive, that children are a
[06:50:29] burden, that America is a source of
[06:50:31] evil, not of good in the world.
[06:50:34] And here was this voice that inspired a
[06:50:35] movement in which young Americans were
[06:50:37] told that is not true. The highest
[06:50:40] calling we are called to is to be in a
[06:50:43] successful marriage and to raise
[06:50:45] productive children.
[06:50:52] And a movement that taught them that
[06:50:54] ours was not a great country, but the
[06:50:57] greatest, most exceptional nation that
[06:50:59] has ever existed in the history of all
[06:51:01] of mankind. and that it's worth fighting
[06:51:03] for. It's worth defending. It's worth
[06:51:05] preserving. And it's worth passing on to
[06:51:08] the next generation.
[06:51:15] This was the mission and the work of
[06:51:16] Charlie Kirk.
[06:51:19] And a couple things that stand out about
[06:51:20] him. He led this movement, but he did so
[06:51:23] with incredible knowledge. It's
[06:51:25] unbelievable how much he knew.
[06:51:28] He came to me very recently. He said
[06:51:30] some quote. what he said though. I said,
[06:51:31] "Who said that?" He said, "Marcus
[06:51:32] Aurelius." I said, "What district does
[06:51:35] he represent?"
[06:51:39] I kind of knew who it was, but uh he
[06:51:41] said back, "No, it's a Roman, you know,
[06:51:43] philosopher king or emperor." His
[06:51:46] incredible knowledge. Let me tell you
[06:51:47] that one of the last messages I had with
[06:51:49] him was just a few days before his
[06:51:52] passing where he wrote me from overseas.
[06:51:54] I'm in South Korea. I have many concerns
[06:51:57] I want to share with you when I get
[06:51:58] back. He was constantly expanding his
[06:52:00] horizons, but he just didn't have
[06:52:02] knowledge. He had wisdom. An uncanny
[06:52:05] amount of wisdom for a man as young as
[06:52:07] he was. Wisdom that sometimes it takes a
[06:52:10] lifetime to accumulate. He had it in
[06:52:12] just 31 years.
[06:52:16] He was also bold.
[06:52:19] It is so easy. And listen, I've been
[06:52:21] guilty of it. I think many of us have
[06:52:23] been guilty of this. You hide behind the
[06:52:25] walls and you surround yourself with
[06:52:27] people that agree with you.
[06:52:28] We do it as a society all the time.
[06:52:31] Increasingly, people are moving into
[06:52:32] neighborhoods with other people that
[06:52:34] agree with them politically and isolate
[06:52:36] themselves from people that do not agree
[06:52:38] with them. But Charlie Kirk was bold. He
[06:52:41] actively sought out to engage
[06:52:43] peacefully, respectfully those who he
[06:52:46] disagreed with. As recently as two days
[06:52:48] ago, we learned of one of the hosts on
[06:52:50] CNN who said that one of the messages he
[06:52:53] had gotten just a few days before
[06:52:54] Charlie's passing was from him inviting
[06:52:57] him to dialogue. And he did this on
[06:52:59] campuses. He did this on podcasts. He
[06:53:01] did this on radio shows. He did this on
[06:53:03] television shows. Time and again, he
[06:53:05] sought to engage those he disagreed with
[06:53:07] because he understood that we were not
[06:53:09] created to isolate ourselves from one
[06:53:11] another, but to engage. The irony in all
[06:53:14] this is that what our nation needs, one
[06:53:16] of the many things it needs is the
[06:53:18] ability to discuss our differences
[06:53:20] openly, honestly, peacefully,
[06:53:22] respectfully. And Charlie Kirk did that
[06:53:24] more than anyone alive in America today
[06:53:27] is doing.
[06:53:33] And Charlie Kirk was impactful.
[06:53:37] Impactful because of all the things I've
[06:53:38] said, but look around this place.
[06:53:41] There's a hundred something thousand
[06:53:43] people here. The president of the United
[06:53:44] States is here. His entire cabinet is
[06:53:47] here. Television a outlets and media
[06:53:49] outlets from all over the world are
[06:53:51] covering this. I just came from overseas
[06:53:53] and every country I stopped, they gave
[06:53:55] us their condolences for his passing.
[06:53:57] Impactful in just 31 years of life. He
[06:54:01] made a difference.
[06:54:03] He mattered and he will matter now more
[06:54:05] than he ever has before.
[06:54:07] And let me close with this.
[06:54:10] How do you remember? This is a memorial
[06:54:12] service. It's to honor him. How do you
[06:54:14] best remember it? I'll take the liberty
[06:54:15] of saying what I think we can best do.
[06:54:19] Look, I think he had an tremendous
[06:54:21] impact on young Americans in general. I
[06:54:23] think he had a very special and direct
[06:54:25] impact on young men in this country.
[06:54:28] That's one of the greatest developments
[06:54:29] I've seen. It's been very positive. I
[06:54:31] think we remember him for that.
[06:54:39] I think we remember him for constantly
[06:54:41] saying, "You want to live a productive
[06:54:43] life, get married, start a family, love
[06:54:45] your country." These are powerful
[06:54:47] messages.
[06:54:49] But I hope many who are watching, I
[06:54:51] imagine there are people watching here
[06:54:52] tonight that didn't know much about
[06:54:53] Charlie Kirk until 11 days ago. Maybe
[06:54:55] they were disengaged from politics.
[06:54:57] Maybe they were partially engaged. I
[06:54:59] hope one of the things they take from
[06:55:00] this is that the movement Charlie Kirk
[06:55:03] led and started and gave fuel to was
[06:55:06] about politics, but not only about
[06:55:08] politics. It was deeper. It was broader.
[06:55:11] And I would say that taking the liberty,
[06:55:14] but I'm confident he would agree. One of
[06:55:16] the things he wants us to take away from
[06:55:18] this, from all of this, is the
[06:55:20] following. his deep belief
[06:55:24] that we were all created, every single
[06:55:26] one of us before the beginning of time,
[06:55:28] by the hands of the God of the universe,
[06:55:31] an all powerful God who loved us and
[06:55:33] created us for the purpose of living
[06:55:35] with him in eternity. But then sin
[06:55:37] entered the world and separated us from
[06:55:39] our creator. And so God took on the form
[06:55:42] of a man and came down and lived among
[06:55:45] us. And he suffered like men and he died
[06:55:49] like a man. But on the third day he rose
[06:55:52] unlike any mortal man.
[06:55:55] And then
[06:55:59] and to prove any doubters wrong, he ate
[06:56:01] with his disciples so they could see and
[06:56:03] they touched his wounds. He didn't rise
[06:56:05] as a ghost or as a spirit, but as flesh.
[06:56:09] And then he rose to the heaven. But he
[06:56:10] promised he would return and he will.
[06:56:13] And when he returns, because he took on
[06:56:16] that death, because he carried that
[06:56:18] cross, we were freed from the sin that
[06:56:19] separated us from him. And when he
[06:56:21] returns, there will be a new heaven and
[06:56:23] a new earth. And we will all be
[06:56:25] together. And we are going to have a
[06:56:27] great reunion there again with Charlie
[06:56:30] and all the people we love. Thank you
[06:56:32] and God bless you.

[06:57:50] a husband, a father, a Christian,
[06:57:54] and a warrior. You see, Charlie Kirk was
[06:57:58] a true believer for the cause of
[06:58:01] freedom, for the power of young people,
[06:58:03] belief in our republic and our founding
[06:58:05] principles in America first and make
[06:58:08] America great again.
[06:58:12] But more importantly,
[06:58:14] he was a true believer.
[06:58:18] Only Christ is king, our Lord and
[06:58:22] Savior.
[06:58:24] Our
[06:58:30] sins are washed away by the blood of
[06:58:33] Jesus. Fear God and fear no man.
[06:58:42] That was Charlie Kirk.
[06:58:44] You see, Charlie Kirk started Turning
[06:58:46] Point USA to change our politics. That's
[06:58:49] when I first met him over a decade ago.
[06:58:52] He was building a movement and nobody
[06:58:55] worked harder at it. Bringing people to
[06:58:58] political small truth.
[06:59:01] I still have the sticker. Big government
[06:59:05] sucks.
[06:59:17] And he pursued that truth with more
[06:59:19] vigor than anyone I've ever met. But
[06:59:22] over time, he realized, like so many of
[06:59:23] us have, that this is not a political
[06:59:25] war. It's not even a cultural war. It's
[06:59:29] a spiritual war.
[06:59:32] Faith and family first. There is a God.
[06:59:35] And as Charlie would say, it is not us.
[06:59:39] We're sinners saved only by grace in
[06:59:42] need of the gospel. You see, we always
[06:59:46] did need less government. But what
[06:59:48] Charlie understood and infused into his
[06:59:51] movement is we also needed a lot more
[06:59:53] God.
[06:59:55] Charlie
[06:59:57] had big plans,
[06:59:59] but God had even bigger plans.
[07:00:11] You know, Marco mentioned this arena and
[07:00:13] the millions watching.
[07:00:16] A couple days ago, I learned that kirk
[07:00:19] actually in German ger in German the
[07:00:21] German language
[07:00:23] means church.
[07:00:26] So on this Sunday morning, I'd like to
[07:00:28] think we're all in Charlie's church.
[07:00:37] Charlie started a political movement but
[07:00:39] unleashed a spiritual revival. My pastor
[07:00:41] texted me the day after that horrific
[07:00:44] event and said, "Pete, the devil
[07:00:46] overplayed his hand."
[07:00:49] Charlie started with Liberty, but ended
[07:00:52] up lighting our country on fire for
[07:00:54] Christ. He started Turning Point USA,
[07:00:57] but this moment is the turning point for
[07:01:00] the USA
[07:01:03] right now.
[07:01:09] He died the way he lived,
[07:01:11] speaking the truth. Charlie waged war
[07:01:15] not with a weapon, but with a tent, a
[07:01:18] microphone, his mind, and the truth. And
[07:01:22] the gates of hell could not prevail
[07:01:25] against him.
[07:01:32] He went into the darkest of places like
[07:01:35] Paul in the book of Acts. He went into
[07:01:37] college campuses where they said we
[07:01:39] couldn't go. And he was the light. He
[07:01:43] was bold. He was brave. He was a hero.
[07:01:49] You know, at the War Department, we know
[07:01:51] a little bit about heroism.
[07:01:54] I've seen it personally on the battle
[07:01:56] from field from Americans wearing
[07:01:58] camouflage and I'm surrounded by men and
[07:02:01] women today who have the chance to
[07:02:02] witness the same.
[07:02:05] Most people don't know this, but Charlie
[07:02:08] Kirk wanted to go to West Point.
[07:02:11] Uh it never happened. Obviously, his
[07:02:14] personal loss at that moment was our
[07:02:16] nation's great gain.
[07:02:20] [Applause]
[07:02:27] Charlie Kirk was a citizen who had the
[07:02:29] biblical heart of a soldier of the faith
[07:02:32] who put on every single day the full
[07:02:35] armor of God with a smile
[07:02:39] as the scriptures tell all Christ
[07:02:42] followers to do. Charlie Kirk, a warrior
[07:02:46] for country, a warrior for Christ. He
[07:02:50] ran the race. He finished the fight. Now
[07:02:55] it's our turn. My charge to all of you,
[07:02:58] live worthy of Charlie Kirk's sacrifice
[07:03:03] and put Christ at the center of your
[07:03:06] life as he advocated for giving his
[07:03:11] [Applause]
[07:03:21] Charlie has heard the words
[07:03:24] echoing now in heaven.
[07:03:27] Well done,
[07:03:29] good and faithful servant. Charlie will
[07:03:33] take it from here. God bless.
[07:03:40] [Music]
[07:03:46] [Applause]
[07:03:49] [Music]
[07:03:56] My
[07:03:59] praise
[07:04:04] glory
[07:04:06] my glory.
[07:04:09] [Music]
[07:04:18] Please welcome to the stage Secretary
[07:04:20] Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
[07:04:24] [Applause]
[07:04:39] Charlie's overarching passion was his
[07:04:42] Christianity and his devotion to his
[07:04:45] God. He believed what St. Francis taught
[07:04:49] us almost a thousand years ago that we
[07:04:53] should strive to live our lives in per
[07:04:56] perfect imitation of Christ.
[07:04:59] He he that we should turn every day and
[07:05:03] every moment and every interaction into
[07:05:06] a prayer. And Charlie understood the
[07:05:09] great paradox that it's only by
[07:05:11] surrender to God that God's power can
[07:05:14] flow into our lives and make us
[07:05:17] effective human beings.
[07:05:19] Charlie Christ
[07:05:22] died at 33 years old.
[07:05:25] But he changed the trajectory of
[07:05:27] history.
[07:05:29] Charlie died at 31 years old, but
[07:05:32] because he had surrendered,
[07:05:34] he also now has changed the trajectory
[07:05:37] of history.
[07:05:44] Charlie's Charlie's other passion was
[07:05:48] free speech. He understood that the free
[07:05:52] flow of information was the soil, the
[07:05:54] water, the sunlight for democracy.
[07:05:57] He understood democracy's great
[07:05:59] advantage was that our policies were
[07:06:04] formed
[07:06:05] by ideas that had triumphed in a
[07:06:08] marketplace of debate and conversation.
[07:06:12] He thought that
[07:06:14] conversation was the only way to heal
[07:06:16] our country. And this was import
[07:06:19] particularly important during a
[07:06:20] technological age when we are all hooked
[07:06:24] into social rhythms that social
[07:06:26] algorithms
[07:06:28] that are hacked into the reptilian cores
[07:06:32] of our brain
[07:06:33] and amplify our impulses for tribalism
[07:06:37] and for division. He felt that the only
[07:06:40] way to overcome that biological impulse
[07:06:44] was with a spiritual fire and with
[07:06:47] developing community. And the only way
[07:06:49] to develop community was through
[07:06:51] conversation.
[07:06:52] And so he always gave the biggest
[07:06:55] microphone to the people who were most
[07:06:58] passionately aligned against him because
[07:07:00] he believed that we need to talk to each
[07:07:03] other and that we needed to be able to
[07:07:05] say what we mean without saying it mean.
[07:07:10] A few years ago, my brother David died.
[07:07:15] And I asked my mother,
[07:07:17] "Does the hole that they leave in you
[07:07:20] when they die, does it ever get any
[07:07:22] smaller?" And she said to me, "It never
[07:07:25] gets any smaller." But our job is to
[07:07:28] grow ourselves bigger around the whole.
[07:07:31] And we do that by taking the best
[07:07:33] qualities, the best most admirable
[07:07:35] character traits of the person that died
[07:07:39] and integrate them with restraint, with
[07:07:41] discipline, with practice into our own
[07:07:44] character. And in doing that, we make
[07:07:47] ourselves larger and the whole gets
[07:07:50] proportionally smaller. We also give a
[07:07:53] kind of immortality to the person who
[07:07:56] left us because their work continues
[07:07:59] through us. A couple of days ago, my
[07:08:02] niece or my granddaughter left for
[07:08:05] college in Europe. Her mother noticed
[07:08:09] that she packed a Bible. When her mother
[07:08:11] asked her why she made that choice, she
[07:08:14] said, "I want to live more like
[07:08:16] Charlie." And it's
[07:08:26] in one of my first conversations with
[07:08:28] Charlie in July of 2021,
[07:08:31] we were talking about the risk that all
[07:08:33] of us take when we challenge and trans
[07:08:35] interest, the physical risk. And he
[07:08:37] asked me if I was scared of dying. And I
[07:08:40] said to him, there's a lot worse things
[07:08:42] than death. And one of those things is
[07:08:46] if we lost our constitutional rights in
[07:08:48] this country and that our children were
[07:08:51] raised as slaves.
[07:08:53] And
[07:08:55] [Applause]
[07:09:01] I said to Charlie, I said, "Sometimes
[07:09:04] the best consolation we can hope for is
[07:09:07] that we get to die with our boots on."
[07:09:10] Well, Charlie died with his boots on and
[07:09:13] he died so to as to make sure that we
[07:09:16] didn't have to undergo those fates that
[07:09:20] are worse than deaths.
[07:09:22] Oh, let's remember Charlie. He was a He
[07:09:26] was For those of us who were friends
[07:09:29] with Charlie, we don't need any more
[07:09:32] evidence of the love of God because the
[07:09:36] evidence, the friendship is the best
[07:09:40] evidence that God loves us all. Thank
[07:09:42] you and God bless you.
[07:09:47] [Music]
[07:09:52] [Applause]
[07:09:57] [Music]
[07:10:01] All
[07:10:05] my
[07:10:09] name
[07:10:11] [Music]
[07:10:25] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
[07:10:27] Donald Trump Jr.
[07:10:30] [Applause]
[07:10:34] [Music]
[07:10:36] [Applause]
[07:10:41] Welcome everyone.
[07:10:43] I'm not widely known for being a
[07:10:45] sentimental guy. Anyone who's seen me on
[07:10:48] social media knows I'm far more likely
[07:10:51] to crack a joke or get myself in trouble
[07:10:54] for posting some grossly inappropriate
[07:10:56] memes than I am to shed a tear. I know
[07:11:00] this because I've even gotten the call
[07:11:01] from that guy a couple times.
[07:11:04] You know, Don, Don,
[07:11:09] you're getting a little aggressive on
[07:11:11] social media. Don, relax.
[07:11:29] But last week when I received word that
[07:11:32] Charlie, who was like a little brother
[07:11:34] to me, had been assassinated, I was
[07:11:37] truly devastated. We all were. And we're
[07:11:40] here today to celebrate
[07:11:43] the way he lived his life and to
[07:11:47] remember the way he changed so many of
[07:11:49] ours.
[07:11:51] So, I want to start where I know Charlie
[07:11:53] would want me to
[07:11:56] with what was most important to him, and
[07:11:58] that was his relationship with Christ.
[07:12:03] [Music]
[07:12:09] To say Charlie knew more about the Bible
[07:12:12] than me is an understatement, folks.
[07:12:15] It's like saying Donald Trump knows more
[07:12:18] about being president than Hillary
[07:12:19] Clinton. nor Camala Harris.
[07:12:26] No kidding.
[07:12:32] But when Charlie was asked in an
[07:12:34] interview how he'd want to be
[07:12:35] remembered, he said, "I want to be
[07:12:38] remembered for my courage, for my
[07:12:40] faith." And let me tell you guys, those
[07:12:43] were not empty words.
[07:12:46] Last week, Charlie joined a long line of
[07:12:49] courageous men and women who were
[07:12:52] martyed for what they believe.
[07:12:59] According to the book of Acts,
[07:13:01] the first martyr in the early Christian
[07:13:04] church was Steven who was stoned to
[07:13:07] death. And as Steven was being killed,
[07:13:10] he said, "Behold,
[07:13:12] I see the heavens opened and the Son of
[07:13:15] Man standing, standing at the right hand
[07:13:19] of God."
[07:13:21] Now, there are many times in the Bible
[07:13:23] where Jesus is seated at the right hand
[07:13:25] of God, but this is the only time he's
[07:13:28] seen standing.
[07:13:31] And while the Bible isn't explicit about
[07:13:34] this, I like to think Jesus was standing
[07:13:38] to welcome Steven, the courageous
[07:13:40] martyr, into heaven.
[07:13:49] And today,
[07:13:51] today that gives me great comfort
[07:13:54] because 11 days ago, as a cowardly
[07:13:57] assassin crawled on his stomach to end
[07:13:59] Charlie's life on Earth,
[07:14:02] I'm betting Charlie saw the son of God
[07:14:06] standing tall to welcome him home.
[07:14:09] [Applause]
[07:14:20] I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the
[07:14:22] greatest treasures of Charlie's heart,
[07:14:25] his beautiful wife Erica and his two
[07:14:28] precious children.
[07:14:30] To watch Charlie with his family, the
[07:14:34] joy on his face, the devotion in his
[07:14:37] eyes was to see the gospel lived out.
[07:14:45] And for me,
[07:14:47] for me it was inspiring.
[07:14:50] And now in the face of unthinkable loss,
[07:14:54] Erica has shown extraordinary courage,
[07:14:58] not only as a mother, but in stepping
[07:15:01] forward to carry on Charlie's mission as
[07:15:04] the CEO of Turning Point USA.
[07:15:15] Charlie always brought out the best in
[07:15:18] all of us.
[07:15:20] When Charlie first said to me during the
[07:15:22] 2016 campaign, "Hey, let's start doing
[07:15:25] events on college campuses," I was like,
[07:15:28] "Whoa, seriously? Come on, man. Uh,
[07:15:31] we've given up on that. We're going to
[07:15:33] let those kids grow up and we'll get
[07:15:36] them when they start paying taxes.
[07:15:40] But he convinced me to give it a shot.
[07:15:44] And there were a couple events that
[07:15:45] showed just how brave and courageous
[07:15:48] Charlie was, even as a very young man.
[07:15:52] At Michigan State University, 5 minutes
[07:15:55] before we were supposed to go on stage,
[07:15:58] the state police told us, and I quote,
[07:16:01] "We can no longer guarantee your
[07:16:03] safety."
[07:16:05] because the left-wing activists, they
[07:16:07] were going crazy. It was rough.
[07:16:11] That sounded like a great reason to pack
[07:16:13] it up and head out.
[07:16:16] But it was one of the many times that I
[07:16:19] would agree with Charlie who said, "No
[07:16:23] way. We're going out there anyway."
[07:16:27] [Applause]
[07:16:33] At one of the last events of the 2024
[07:16:36] campaign at Arizona State, some lunatic
[07:16:39] called it a threat to try to keep us
[07:16:40] from going on the stage again. We went
[07:16:44] out there anyway without fear.
[07:16:47] Charlie led the way. His message was
[07:16:50] clear then and his message is clear now.
[07:16:56] We won't back down.
[07:17:03] We won't be intimidated.
[07:17:11] The Bible says over a hundred times in
[07:17:13] the pages of scripture, "Do not be
[07:17:16] afraid." And the 100,000 people here
[07:17:19] today are a signal to the world. Our
[07:17:23] message of faith, family and country
[07:17:27] will not be silenced.
[07:17:38] It always amazes me how Charlie chose to
[07:17:41] use his platform. He had one of the
[07:17:44] largest microphones in the entire
[07:17:46] conservative movement. And what did he
[07:17:48] do with it?
[07:17:50] Day after day, week after week, he
[07:17:53] handed it to the very people who opposed
[07:17:56] him most.
[07:17:58] The media tried to smear him as some
[07:18:02] sort of dangerous radical.
[07:18:05] But Charlie embodied something at the
[07:18:07] very core of our movement.
[07:18:10] When people disagree with us, we don't
[07:18:12] silence them. We don't destroy them. And
[07:18:16] we certainly don't sink to violence.
[07:18:21] [Applause]
[07:18:28] We don't burn down their businesses. We
[07:18:31] don't scream at their children at
[07:18:33] Disneyland.
[07:18:35] No, we debate. We stand tall. And we win
[07:18:41] with our ideas.
[07:18:50] The true extremists are those who would
[07:18:52] justify and celebrate taking an innocent
[07:18:55] life over nothing more than
[07:18:57] disagreement.
[07:19:00] That is the real radicalism and we
[07:19:02] reject it completely.
[07:19:05] [Applause]
[07:19:11] Charlie delighted in his belief that
[07:19:14] people could be persuaded.
[07:19:16] He believed the way to win hearts was
[07:19:19] with truth, with courage, and with
[07:19:22] conversation.
[07:19:24] He would always be the first to say,
[07:19:27] "You are welcome here."
[07:19:30] And that's what I want to leave you with
[07:19:32] today.
[07:19:34] If we're truly going to honor Charlie
[07:19:36] properly, his loss cannot be the end of
[07:19:40] the story.
[07:19:42] His legacy must be that when they took
[07:19:46] his life, a million more Charlies
[07:19:50] stepped up to fill the void.
[07:19:59] We are all Charlie.
[07:20:08] So, let's send a message here today,
[07:20:10] guys. I want to make sure the world
[07:20:14] hears us loud and clear. Will you
[07:20:18] surrender?
[07:20:20] Will you back down?
[07:20:25] Will you give up in fear?
[07:20:31] >> Good.
[07:20:33] If you're among the millions of people
[07:20:36] watching today, please see this and know
[07:20:40] you are not alone.
[07:20:50] Charlie's message like Christ's was an
[07:20:54] invitation.
[07:20:56] If this resonates with you and you
[07:20:58] believe American values are worth
[07:21:01] defending, welcome.
[07:21:04] If you believe in faith, family, and
[07:21:07] freedom, then you are with us.
[07:21:18] No matter your past,
[07:21:20] no matter how you've voted,
[07:21:23] no matter where you come from, this
[07:21:26] movement is your home.
[07:21:35] If you're not already seated at this
[07:21:37] table, we have a seat prepared for you.
[07:21:41] If you believe in God and family and
[07:21:44] country, you are one of us.
[07:21:51] If you believe our government should put
[07:21:53] the interests of our citizens first,
[07:21:56] welcome.
[07:22:00] If you believe American workers deserve
[07:22:03] dignity and American families should be
[07:22:05] able to afford a good life on one
[07:22:07] salary, welcome.
[07:22:15] If you reject the propaganda of the fake
[07:22:18] news media, welcome.
[07:22:26] If you want to eradicate the criminal
[07:22:29] cartels and get drugs out of our
[07:22:31] communities, welcome.
[07:22:38] If you believe our best days are ahead
[07:22:42] and are willing to stand up to make
[07:22:44] America great again for your children
[07:22:46] and for generations to come, welcome.
[07:22:56] Charlie loved this country, its people,
[07:23:00] and the work of persuading others to
[07:23:03] believe in something greater than
[07:23:05] themselves.
[07:23:08] And if we live with that same courage,
[07:23:11] our legacy, like Charlie's, will live
[07:23:14] forever.
[07:23:15] [Applause]
[07:23:22] Charlie, my brother, we love you. We
[07:23:26] miss you. And we will not let you down.
[07:23:37] And as the scripture promises,
[07:23:40] well done, good and faithful servant.
[07:23:43] Enter into the joy of your Lord. God
[07:23:47] bless. Thank you so much.

[07:25:28] All
[07:25:32] my
[07:25:38] praise is
[07:25:42] [Music]
[07:25:51] Ladies and gentlemen, the Vice President
[07:25:53] of the United States of America, J. D.
[07:25:56] Vance.
[07:26:00] [Applause]
[07:26:12] [Music]
[07:26:17] Thank you. Thank you all so much. You
[07:26:20] know
[07:26:52] You know, I can't help but think
[07:26:54] that they tried to silence my friend
[07:26:58] Charlie Kirk. They tried to silence our
[07:27:01] dear friend Charlie Kirk. And today,
[07:27:04] tonight, we speak with Charlie and for
[07:27:08] Charlie louder than ever.
[07:27:19] The evil murderer who took Charlie from
[07:27:21] us expected us to have a funeral today.
[07:27:25] And instead, my friends, we have had a
[07:27:28] revival in celebration of Charlie Kirk
[07:27:31] and of his Lord Jesus Christ.
[07:27:40] We gather here in this stadium
[07:27:44] in the hot Arizona sun shielded
[07:27:47] in a great shining city our fathers
[07:27:50] raised out of the desert. And from this
[07:27:54] desert, Charlie Kirk built a movement.
[07:27:59] He transformed the face of conservatism
[07:28:01] in our own time. And in doing so, he
[07:28:04] changed the course of American history.
[07:28:08] To rising generations across this
[07:28:10] country,
[07:28:12] Charlie exemplified kindness, courage,
[07:28:15] and a commitment to open debate. And he
[07:28:19] was a great debater and we loved him for
[07:28:21] it. But Charlie loved debate not because
[07:28:24] he excelled at it, but because it was
[07:28:26] the vehicle for bringing the light of
[07:28:28] truth to dark places. And Charlie Kirk
[07:28:32] brought many truths in his life.
[07:28:40] Charlie brought the truth that young
[07:28:43] people deserved a stake in the future
[07:28:45] and that they deserve to have a voice.
[07:28:49] He brought the truth that marriage and
[07:28:52] family were the highest callings, far
[07:28:54] more important than any job or
[07:28:56] educational credential. He brought the
[07:29:00] truth
[07:29:02] that our nation would fade unless it
[07:29:04] brought order to its neighborhoods and
[07:29:07] prosperity to its people. He brought the
[07:29:10] truth that life was precious and we must
[07:29:14] fight to protect it at all stages and at
[07:29:17] all times.
[07:29:26] But most of all, Charlie brought the
[07:29:28] truth that Jesus Christ was the King of
[07:29:31] Kings and that all truth flowed from
[07:29:34] this first and most important one.
[07:29:43] But Charlie, he did so much more than
[07:29:45] tell the truth. He lived it. Charlie
[07:29:48] understood that the best evangelization
[07:29:50] was not in what you said, but in how you
[07:29:53] live your life. And in this city, he
[07:29:56] lived his life well. He raised a
[07:29:58] wonderful family. He had a beautiful
[07:30:01] wife, two beloved children, and a loving
[07:30:04] and godly home. In this, he showed us
[07:30:07] the importance of family. He lived three
[07:30:10] decades. He had on this earth with a
[07:30:13] sense of Christian virtue that would
[07:30:15] make any man, any person proud. And in
[07:30:18] this, he showed the importance of
[07:30:20] following God.
[07:30:22] He was a kind-hearted man, a
[07:30:24] hard-working person and any parent would
[07:30:28] be proud to have him as a son. In this
[07:30:31] he showed the virtue of industriousness.
[07:30:34] He was present and loving as any child
[07:30:37] would hope of his or her father. And in
[07:30:40] this he showed the importance of strong
[07:30:43] Christian fatherhood.
[07:30:46] [Applause]
[07:30:53] He was fearless and he was bold as any
[07:30:56] follower would hope would be true of a
[07:30:58] leader. And in this he showed all of us
[07:31:02] how to carry on after his death. You
[07:31:05] know, Charlie Kirky loved history. He
[07:31:07] devoured the ideas that formed the
[07:31:10] foundation of our civilization.
[07:31:13] He stood for a tradition that Socrates
[07:31:15] established 2500 years ago to question,
[07:31:20] to search, and to teach.
[07:31:23] He was Athens and Jerusalem, the city of
[07:31:27] reason and the city of God in one
[07:31:30] person. But if he loved those places,
[07:31:34] they were not his home. America was his
[07:31:38] home, and he was willing to die for it.
[07:31:48] You know, Charlie, he loved this country
[07:31:50] with a contagious intensity. Anybody who
[07:31:53] talked to him knew it and felt it. He
[07:31:56] knew that America was a beautiful place
[07:31:58] and we had these incredible ideas. But
[07:32:01] he also knew that our country was a
[07:32:03] covenant between the generations past,
[07:32:06] present, and future. He believed this
[07:32:09] country's best days were not behind us,
[07:32:11] but ahead of us. But he knew those
[07:32:14] better days would have to be earned.
[07:32:16] They would have to be worked for. We
[07:32:17] would have to sacrifice and work and
[07:32:20] tell the truth. He knew that America
[07:32:23] wouldn't be saved just by pulling
[07:32:24] together seminars or talking about the
[07:32:27] right kind of books in front of the
[07:32:28] right kind of people. The movement which
[07:32:32] he created demanded more. It demanded
[07:32:36] courage. It demanded hard work. It
[07:32:38] demanded building. And it demanded
[07:32:40] leaders. And my friends in Charlie Kirk,
[07:32:43] we found a great American leader.
[07:32:54] Now, our whole administration is here,
[07:32:56] but not just because we love Charlie as
[07:32:58] a friend, even though we did, but
[07:33:00] because we know we wouldn't be here
[07:33:03] without him. Charlie built an
[07:33:06] organization
[07:33:08] that reshaped the balance of our
[07:33:11] politics.
[07:33:12] Turning Point brought millions of young
[07:33:15] people into conversation with one
[07:33:17] another, brought millions of people into
[07:33:19] advocacy. He asked of us not just that
[07:33:22] we talk about saving our country, but
[07:33:24] that we actually go and do it and we do
[07:33:27] it together.
[07:33:37] But even as Charlie built on a grand
[07:33:39] scale, his greatness was e never only in
[07:33:42] his ambition. It was measured in the
[07:33:45] everyday moments as well, in the way
[07:33:47] that he treated ordinary people each and
[07:33:50] every single day. You know, you learn a
[07:33:53] lot about someone by how they treat
[07:33:56] others when the cameras aren't on.
[07:34:00] Charlie treated staffers as well as he
[07:34:02] treated the president of the United
[07:34:04] States. When I was just a guy polling at
[07:34:07] nothing in my Senate race back in 2021,
[07:34:11] Charlie helped me. Not because I was a
[07:34:14] future vice president, but because I was
[07:34:16] a dear friend. I saw just a couple of
[07:34:19] months ago when a White House staffer
[07:34:21] struggled with the weight of his job and
[07:34:24] the responsibilities of new fatherhood.
[07:34:27] Charlie stopped what he was doing in the
[07:34:30] hallways of the West Wing and said a
[07:34:32] prayer for that staffer.
[07:34:34] Because Charlie believed that we were
[07:34:36] all children of God, he treated everyone
[07:34:39] with grace. And that is perhaps the
[07:34:42] enduring legacy of Charlie Kirk. You
[07:34:44] know, I was telling somebody backstage
[07:34:50] that I always felt a little
[07:34:51] uncomfortable talking about my faith in
[07:34:54] public. As much as I loved the Lord and
[07:34:56] as much as it it was an important part
[07:34:58] of my life, I have talked more about
[07:35:01] Jesus Christ in the past two weeks than
[07:35:04] I have my entire time in public life.
[07:35:28] And that is an undeniable legacy of the
[07:35:31] great Charlie Kirk. You know, he loved
[07:35:34] God. And because he loved God, he wanted
[07:35:37] to understand God's creation and the men
[07:35:40] and women made in his image. Now, much
[07:35:44] has been said over the last week about
[07:35:47] Charlie's ability to approach any topic,
[07:35:50] any person in good faith. An achievement
[07:35:53] that was only possible because Charlie
[07:35:56] knew that we were all children of God.
[07:36:00] He knew deep down the truth of
[07:36:03] scripture. And from that confidence,
[07:36:06] everything else flowed. That unshakable
[07:36:08] belief in the gospel led him to see
[07:36:11] differences in opinion not as
[07:36:13] battlefields to conquer, but as way
[07:36:16] stations in the pursuit of truth. He
[07:36:20] knew it was right to love others, your
[07:36:23] neighbor, your interlocutor,
[07:36:26] your enemy.
[07:36:28] But he also understood his duty to say
[07:36:30] what is right and what is wrong. To
[07:36:33] distinguish what is false from what is
[07:36:36] true.
[07:36:38] [Applause]
[07:36:42] [Music]
[07:36:47] Charlie was slain doing what he loved,
[07:36:50] telling the truth, proclaiming his
[07:36:52] faith, building out a dream. And now
[07:36:56] he's gone. And our hearts feel so empty
[07:36:59] because he's been taken from us.
[07:37:02] He has been taken from his parents and
[07:37:04] from his sister. He has been taken from
[07:37:07] our darling Erica and their beautiful
[07:37:09] children. And Erica, I know I speak for
[07:37:12] this entire auditorium when I say that
[07:37:15] we love you and we will never stop
[07:37:18] standing by your side just as Charlie
[07:37:20] did.
[07:37:32] He was taken from us
[07:37:35] by those who despise
[07:37:37] the virtues that actually made our
[07:37:41] civilization great to begin with.
[07:37:44] Dialogue, truth seeeking, family, and
[07:37:48] faith.
[07:37:50] In the wake of his death, we have seen
[07:37:53] some of the very worst parts of
[07:37:55] humanity.
[07:37:57] We have watched people slander him. We
[07:38:01] have watched people justify his murder
[07:38:04] and celebrate his death.
[07:38:07] I know that this makes you angry just as
[07:38:10] it has made me angry. But it is easy in
[07:38:13] these moments to see only the worst of
[07:38:16] our fellow man.
[07:38:18] I found myself wishing that I could pick
[07:38:21] up the phone and talk to my friend and
[07:38:25] ask him for his advice in his counsel
[07:38:28] to ask him how to respond to such hate
[07:38:31] and the souls from which that hate
[07:38:33] springs.
[07:38:35] But I can't call my friend because he
[07:38:38] was murdered for speaking the truth.
[07:38:41] I can only guess at what he might say
[07:38:44] and what he would encourage me to do.
[07:38:47] And here's what I think.
[07:38:50] I think he would encourage me to be
[07:38:52] honest that evil still walks among us.
[07:38:56] Not to ignore it for the sake of a fake
[07:38:59] kumbaya moment, but to address it headon
[07:39:03] and honestly as the sickness that it is.
[07:39:15] But I also think he would encourage me,
[07:39:18] he would encourage all of us to focus on
[07:39:21] the good. He would encourage us to
[07:39:23] remember that for every hateful voice
[07:39:26] celebrating his murder, there are a
[07:39:28] thousand people mourning it and fighting
[07:39:30] for his legacy every single day.
[07:39:42] He would tell me to pray. I'm certain of
[07:39:44] it.
[07:39:45] He would tell me to pray for my friends,
[07:39:48] but also for my enemies.
[07:39:51] He would tell me to put on the full
[07:39:53] armor of God and get back to work.
[07:40:05] He would tell us to commit ourselves to
[07:40:08] telling the truth and to fight for that
[07:40:11] truth each and every single day.
[07:40:14] He would tell us to talk about God's
[07:40:17] love and the fact that that love applied
[07:40:20] everybody across the whole human family.
[07:40:25] Charlie suffered a terrible fate, my
[07:40:28] friends. We all know it. We all saw it.
[07:40:32] But think, it is not the worst fate. It
[07:40:37] is better to face a gunman than to live
[07:40:39] your life afraid to speak the truth.
[07:40:51] It is better to be persecuted for your
[07:40:53] faith than to deny the kingship of
[07:40:56] Christ.
[07:41:03] It is better to die a young man in this
[07:41:06] world than to sell your soul for an easy
[07:41:09] life with no purpose, no risk, no love,
[07:41:11] and no truth.
[07:41:19] [Music]
[07:41:20] Christ told us in the Gospel of John, I
[07:41:23] have said these things to you that in me
[07:41:25] you may have peace.
[07:41:28] In the world you will have tribulation,
[07:41:31] but take heart. I have overcome the
[07:41:34] world.
[07:41:43] Charlie took heart. And now we must do
[07:41:48] the same. I've seen so many of you say,
[07:41:51] so many on social media talk about for
[07:41:55] Charlie. We must do this for Charlie.
[07:41:58] For Charlie, we will speak the truth
[07:42:00] every single day.
[07:42:10] For Charlie, we will rebuild this United
[07:42:13] States of America to greatness.
[07:42:21] For Charlie, we will never shrink. We
[07:42:24] will never cower. And we will never
[07:42:25] falter even when staring down the barrel
[07:42:28] of a gun.
[07:42:37] For Charlie, we will remember that it is
[07:42:39] better to stand on our feet defending
[07:42:42] the United States of America and
[07:42:44] defending the truth than it is to die on
[07:42:47] our knees.
[07:42:48] [Applause]
[07:42:55] My friends, for Charlie, we must
[07:42:57] remember that he is a hero to the United
[07:42:59] States of America and he is a martyr for
[07:43:02] the Christian faith. May our heavenly
[07:43:04] father give us the courage to live as
[07:43:07] Charlie lived. That is what we must do
[07:43:10] for Charlie. You ran a good race, my
[07:43:13] friend. I love you. We've got it from
[07:43:15] here. Thank you.

[07:49:39] [Applause]
[07:49:57] Hello.
[07:50:00] God bless all of you
[07:50:03] for coming here from all over the world
[07:50:07] to honor and celebrate my Charlie.
[07:50:13] [Applause]
[07:50:24] Just a few miles from here,
[07:50:27] two years ago at America Fest 2023,
[07:50:32] Charlie delivered a speech on stage for
[07:50:35] our TPUSA faith event.
[07:50:39] Charlie loved speaking off the cuff. He
[07:50:42] was very good at that without a script.
[07:50:46] So I personally didn't know what he was
[07:50:48] going to say.
[07:50:51] And what he chose to speak about that
[07:50:53] day was his his submission
[07:50:56] to the will of God.
[07:50:59] He quoted one of his favorite Bible
[07:51:01] verses, Isaiah 6:8.
[07:51:05] Here I am, Lord.
[07:51:09] Send me.
[07:51:13] After Charlie finished, I met him
[07:51:15] backstage
[07:51:17] and I spoke to him and I'll never forget
[07:51:18] this. I said, "Charlie, baby,
[07:51:22] please talk to me next time before you
[07:51:24] say that statement."
[07:51:28] Because when you say something like
[07:51:30] that,
[07:51:31] there is so much power in that verse.
[07:51:36] When you say here I am, Lord, use me.
[07:51:43] God will take you up on that.
[07:51:46] And he did with Charlie.
[07:51:53] [Applause]
[07:52:03] 11 days ago,
[07:52:05] God accepted that total surrender from
[07:52:08] my husband
[07:52:10] and then called him to his side.
[07:52:14] More than anything, Charlie wanted to do
[07:52:16] not his will, but God's will.
[07:52:19] And over these past 11 days,
[07:52:23] through all the pain,
[07:52:26] never before have I found as much
[07:52:29] comfort
[07:52:30] as I now do in the words of our Lord's
[07:52:34] Prayer.
[07:52:36] Thy will be done.
[07:52:42] [Applause]
[07:52:50] God's love was revealed to me on the
[07:52:53] very day my husband was murdered.
[07:52:57] On the afternoon of September 10th, I
[07:53:00] arrived at a Utah hospital to do the
[07:53:03] unthinkable,
[07:53:05] to look directly
[07:53:07] at my husband's murdered body.
[07:53:12] I saw the wound that ended his life.
[07:53:16] I felt everything you would expect to
[07:53:19] feel.
[07:53:21] I felt shock.
[07:53:24] I felt horror
[07:53:27] and a level of heartache
[07:53:31] that I didn't even know existed.
[07:53:37] But there was something else, too.
[07:53:41] Even in death, I could see the man that
[07:53:44] I love.
[07:53:49] I saw the one single gray hair
[07:53:53] on the side of his head, which I never
[07:53:56] told him about.
[07:53:58] Now he knows. Sorry, baby. I'm telling
[07:54:00] you now, but never told him. Didn't want
[07:54:03] to.
[07:54:07] I also saw this
[07:54:10] I also saw on his lips
[07:54:13] the faintest smile
[07:54:17] and that told me something important.
[07:54:22] It revealed to me a great mercy from God
[07:54:25] in this tragedy.
[07:54:29] When I saw that, it told me
[07:54:32] Charlie didn't suffer.
[07:54:35] Even the doctor told me
[07:54:38] it was something so instant that even
[07:54:41] even if Charlie had been shot in the
[07:54:43] operating room it itself
[07:54:46] nothing could have been done.
[07:54:49] There was no fame.
[07:54:51] There was no fear,
[07:54:54] no agony. One moment, Charlie was doing
[07:54:56] what he loved,
[07:54:58] arguing and debating on campus,
[07:55:03] fighting for the gospel
[07:55:06] and truth
[07:55:08] in front of a big crowd.
[07:55:11] And then he blinked.
[07:55:14] He blinked
[07:55:16] and saw his savior in paradise.
[07:55:21] [Applause]
[07:55:32] and all the heavenly mysteries were
[07:55:34] revealed to him.
[07:55:38] God's love
[07:55:41] continued to be revealed to me in the
[07:55:42] days that followed.
[07:55:47] The next day on the tarmac
[07:55:50] in Air Force 2,
[07:55:54] I confronted Usha Vance,
[07:55:57] precious woman.
[07:56:00] I held her hand and I told her,
[07:56:02] "Honestly, I do not know how I am going
[07:56:06] to get through this."
[07:56:10] She told me something.
[07:56:14] She said,
[07:56:16] "You know when you're on an airplane
[07:56:18] with your kids and it's the last 15
[07:56:21] minutes of the flight and things are
[07:56:24] crazy, kids are not cooperating, toys
[07:56:26] are flying everywhere, and everyone's
[07:56:28] screaming
[07:56:29] and you think to yourself, I cannot wait
[07:56:32] for this flight to land.
[07:56:34] And it's 15 minutes before you land."
[07:56:40] And she told me, "You will get through
[07:56:42] these 15 minutes
[07:56:45] and the next 15 minutes after that,
[07:56:50] USA, I don't think you realized it then,
[07:56:53] but those words were exactly what I
[07:56:55] needed to hear.
[07:56:59] But most of all, God's mercy and God's
[07:57:01] love have been real revealed to me these
[07:57:03] past 10 days.
[07:57:05] After Charlie's assassination, we didn't
[07:57:08] see violence.
[07:57:11] We didn't see rioting.
[07:57:27] We didn't see revolution.
[07:57:30] Instead, we saw what my husband always
[07:57:33] prayed he would see in this country. We
[07:57:36] saw revival.
[07:57:37] [Applause]
[07:57:51] This past week, we saw people open a
[07:57:53] Bible for the first time in a decade.
[07:57:56] We saw people pray for the first time
[07:57:59] since they were children.
[07:58:01] We saw people go to a church service for
[07:58:03] the first time in their entire lives.
[07:58:08] [Applause]
[07:58:17] Charlie liked to journal.
[07:58:20] And I say this because he did it to
[07:58:23] remember important moments and sayings
[07:58:25] that affected him.
[07:58:28] And one of the things he wrote in his
[07:58:29] journal was this.
[07:58:35] Every time you make a decision,
[07:58:39] it puts a mark on your soul.
[07:58:44] To those of you
[07:58:46] out there who just made that decision
[07:58:50] and took the first step toward a
[07:58:52] spiritual life,
[07:58:55] I say thank you and welcome.
[07:58:58] [Applause]
[07:59:07] One day, I hope you look back and
[07:59:09] realize it was the most important
[07:59:11] decision of your life because it is.
[07:59:16] All of you,
[07:59:20] all of you who are already believers, it
[07:59:22] is your job to shepherd these people.
[07:59:26] Do not take that lightly.
[07:59:30] Water the seed of their faith.
[07:59:34] Protect it and help it grow.
[07:59:39] Every day as Charlie rode into the
[07:59:42] office,
[07:59:44] he would go through his contact list,
[07:59:46] and I know there's many of you who were
[07:59:49] impacted by this. He would go through
[07:59:51] his contact list and send Bible verses
[07:59:53] for the day.
[07:59:56] He knew that faith was a habit.
[07:59:59] The more you live it, the more it grows.
[08:00:03] But know this, too.
[08:00:07] The seed has only just been planted.
[08:00:11] The enemy will tempt you
[08:00:14] the most in a time like this one.
[08:00:18] God will always be there for you, but
[08:00:20] you must choose to mark your soul
[08:00:24] again and again in the direction of
[08:00:28] Christ.
[08:00:30] [Applause]
[08:00:37] Pray again, read the Bible again, go to
[08:00:42] church next Sunday and the Sunday after
[08:00:45] that, and break free from the
[08:00:47] temptations and shackles of this world,
[08:00:52] [Applause]
[08:01:00] being a follower of Christ is not easy.
[08:01:03] It's not supposed to be.
[08:01:07] Jesus said, "If anyone would come after
[08:01:09] me, let him deny himself, take up his
[08:01:12] cross, and follow me."
[08:01:16] He said he would be persecuted. He said
[08:01:18] we would be persecuted. And Charlie knew
[08:01:21] that and happily carried his cross all
[08:01:23] the way to the end.
[08:01:28] And I want all of you to know
[08:01:32] while Charlie died far too early,
[08:01:35] he was also ready to die.
[08:01:39] There was nothing nothing he was putting
[08:01:42] off. There was nothing that was too hard
[08:01:45] or too painful or nothing that he just
[08:01:48] felt like he didn't want to do it.
[08:01:52] He left this world without regrets.
[08:01:57] He did 100% of what he could every day.
[08:02:01] But I want you to know something.
[08:02:05] Charlie died with incomplete work,
[08:02:09] but not with unfinished business.
[08:02:14] [Applause]
[08:02:23] But I will miss him.
[08:02:29] I will miss him so much because our
[08:02:31] marriage and our family were beautiful.
[08:02:35] They still are.
[08:02:38] [Applause]
[08:02:44] The greatest cause in Charlie's life was
[08:02:46] trying to revive the American family.
[08:02:50] When he spoke to young people, he was
[08:02:52] always eager to tell them about God's
[08:02:54] vision for marriage
[08:02:57] and how if they could just dare to live
[08:03:00] it out,
[08:03:02] it would enrich every part of their life
[08:03:04] in the same way that it enriched ours.
[08:03:08] And someone once asked me how Charlie
[08:03:12] and I
[08:03:13] how we kept our marriage so strong when
[08:03:17] he was busy traveling.
[08:03:21] In our little secret,
[08:03:24] it was love notes.
[08:03:29] Every Saturday,
[08:03:31] Charlie wrote one for me and he never
[08:03:33] missed a Saturday.
[08:03:38] And in every single one of them, he'd
[08:03:40] tell me what his highlight was for the
[08:03:42] week,
[08:03:44] how grateful he was for me and our
[08:03:46] babies.
[08:03:49] And always at the end, he would always
[08:03:51] end it with asking the most beautiful
[08:03:55] question.
[08:03:58] He'd always end it by asking, "Please
[08:04:00] let me know how I can better serve you
[08:04:03] as a husband,
[08:04:06] Charlie." perfectly understood
[08:04:09] God's role for a Christian husband.
[08:04:13] A man who leads
[08:04:17] so that they can serve
[08:04:22] [Applause]
[08:04:32] to all the men watching around the
[08:04:34] world.
[08:04:36] Accept Charlie's challenge
[08:04:39] and embrace true manhood.
[08:04:44] Be strong and courageous for your
[08:04:47] families.
[08:04:51] Love your wives and lead them.
[08:04:56] Love your children and protect them.
[08:05:01] Be the spiritual head
[08:05:04] of your home.
[08:05:07] But please be a leader worth following.
[08:05:12] Your wife,
[08:05:21] your wife is not your servant.
[08:05:25] Your wife is not your employee.
[08:05:30] Your wife is not your slave.
[08:05:33] She is your helper.
[08:05:36] You are not rivals.
[08:05:39] You are one flesh working together for
[08:05:42] the glory of God.
[08:05:44] [Applause]
[08:05:56] I was Charlie's confidant.
[08:06:00] I was his vault.
[08:06:03] his closest and most trusted adviser,
[08:06:06] his best friend.
[08:06:09] I poured into him and loved him so
[08:06:11] deeply,
[08:06:13] empowered him
[08:06:15] because his love for me drove me to be a
[08:06:18] better wife.
[08:06:20] Every day he honored me and I prayed
[08:06:22] that I could be the wife that God needed
[08:06:25] me to be for my husband.
[08:06:28] Women, I have a challenge for you, too.
[08:06:33] Be virtuous.
[08:06:36] Our strength is found in God's design
[08:06:38] for our role.
[08:06:41] We are the guardians.
[08:06:43] We are the encouraers.
[08:06:46] We are the preservers.
[08:06:50] Guard your heart.
[08:06:52] Everything you do flows from it.
[08:06:56] And if you're a mother, please recognize
[08:07:00] that is the single
[08:07:02] most important ministry you have
[08:07:07] [Applause]
[08:07:16] in our home.
[08:07:18] Cuz Charlie traveled a lot. We tried to
[08:07:20] travel with him where we could,
[08:07:24] but I made sure that when Charlie
[08:07:25] returned from work,
[08:07:28] it was his sacred landing place,
[08:07:31] away from the worries of the world.
[08:07:38] I didn't make him feel guilty
[08:07:42] for being away too long or too much
[08:07:46] or getting home too late. I always told
[08:07:48] him, "Home home is here for you and
[08:07:50] it'll be ready for you."
[08:07:53] And I made it into this place where he
[08:07:55] wanted to be as soon as possible when he
[08:07:59] was on the road.
[08:08:03] There was no keeping score between us.
[08:08:08] We were a team
[08:08:11] working together for the same mission.
[08:08:16] I never wanted to be the one standing
[08:08:17] between Charlie and the task that God
[08:08:21] prepared for him
[08:08:24] had set for him.
[08:08:26] And I knew Charlie would always do his
[08:08:28] best to help me with the same.
[08:08:33] My marriage with Charlie was the best
[08:08:35] thing that ever happened to me. And I
[08:08:38] know it was the best thing that ever
[08:08:39] happened to him as well.
[08:08:41] He wanted everyone to experience that
[08:08:43] joy.
[08:08:45] And that's what's so beautiful about
[08:08:49] God's design for marriage is that
[08:08:51] everyone can.
[08:08:55] And I could talk endlessly about it in
[08:08:57] years to come. I will.
[08:09:00] But Charlie's mission above all
[08:09:04] was aimed directly at those who aren't
[08:09:06] married.
[08:09:08] He named his organization well.
[08:09:12] He knew things were not right with
[08:09:13] America and especially with young people
[08:09:17] and they needed a new direction.
[08:09:21] Charlie passionately
[08:09:23] wanted to reach and save the lost boys
[08:09:26] of the West.
[08:09:28] The young men who feel like they have no
[08:09:30] direction,
[08:09:32] no purpose, no faith, and no reason to
[08:09:34] live.
[08:09:37] the men wasting their lives on
[08:09:39] distractions and the men consumed with
[08:09:41] resentment, anger, and hate.
[08:09:45] Charlie wanted to help them.
[08:09:49] He wanted them to have a home with
[08:09:51] Turning Point USA. And when he went onto
[08:09:55] campus, he was looking to show them a
[08:09:57] better path
[08:10:00] and a better life that was right there
[08:10:02] for the taking.
[08:10:04] He wanted to show them that
[08:10:12] my husband Charlie,
[08:10:16] he wanted to save
[08:10:20] young men
[08:10:22] just like the one who took his life.
[08:10:28] [Applause]
[08:10:38] [Applause]
[08:10:42] that young man,
[08:10:46] that young man
[08:10:48] on the cross, our savior said,
[08:10:55] "Father, forgive them for they not know
[08:10:59] what they do.
[08:11:02] That man
[08:11:06] that young man,
[08:11:10] I forgive him.
[08:11:13] [Applause]
[08:11:42] Heat. Heat.
[08:11:58] I forgive him because it was what Christ
[08:12:01] did
[08:12:03] and is what Charlie would do.
[08:12:07] The answer to hate is not hate.
[08:12:11] The answer we know from the gospel is
[08:12:13] love and always love.
[08:12:17] love for our enemies
[08:12:19] and love for those who persecute us.
[08:12:26] The world needs Turning Point USA.
[08:12:29] It needs a group that will point young
[08:12:32] people away from the path of misery and
[08:12:35] sin.
[08:12:37] It needs something that will lead people
[08:12:39] away from hell in this world and in the
[08:12:41] next.
[08:12:43] It needs young people pointed in the
[08:12:45] direction of truth and beauty.
[08:12:50] And so I promise you today, every part
[08:12:52] of our work will become greater.
[08:12:56] I am tremendously honored
[08:12:59] to be the new CEO of Turning Point USA.
[08:13:20] I do not take that lightly.
[08:13:23] Charlie and I were united in purpose.
[08:13:26] His passion was my passion and now his
[08:13:28] mission is my mission.
[08:13:31] Everything that Turning Point USA built
[08:13:33] through Charlie's vision and hard work,
[08:13:36] we will make 10 times greater through
[08:13:38] the power of his memory.
[08:13:42] Chapters will grow.
[08:13:44] Thousands of new ones will be created.
[08:13:48] TPUSA faith will add thousands of new
[08:13:51] pastors and congregations.
[08:13:54] [Applause]
[08:14:02] And yes, campus events will continue and
[08:14:05] we will continue to hold debates and
[08:14:07] dialogue.
[08:14:17] The first amendment of our constitution
[08:14:19] is the most human amendment.
[08:14:24] We are naturally talking beings.
[08:14:28] naturally believing beings.
[08:14:31] And the First Amendment protects our
[08:14:33] right to do both.
[08:14:36] No assassin will ever stop us from
[08:14:39] standing up to defend those rights ever.
[08:14:43] [Applause]
[08:14:50] Because when you stop the conversation,
[08:14:55] when you stop the dialogue,
[08:14:59] this is what happens.
[08:15:02] When we lose the ability and the
[08:15:05] willingness to communicate,
[08:15:08] we get violence.
[08:15:14] And as I stand here now
[08:15:17] and I look at this beautiful
[08:15:21] photo of my husband in front of me
[08:15:23] hanging in the stadium.
[08:15:26] I think of my husband 13 years ago. I
[08:15:30] hadn't met him yet.
[08:15:32] He was 18 years old.
[08:15:36] A man barely out of high school,
[08:15:39] running around the halls of the RNC
[08:15:42] without a dollar in his pocket and a
[08:15:44] single contact in his phone.
[08:15:48] People who saw him said that he didn't
[08:15:50] know what he was doing,
[08:15:52] but he did.
[08:15:55] He did know what he was doing.
[08:15:58] He knew exactly what he was doing.
[08:16:04] He was going to change the world. And he
[08:16:06] did.
[08:16:09] Charlie's life was a turning point for
[08:16:12] this country. It was a miracle.
[08:16:16] Let that miracle
[08:16:19] that was Charlie's life be your turning
[08:16:20] point as well.
[08:16:24] Choose prayer.
[08:16:26] Choose courage.
[08:16:30] Choose beauty.
[08:16:33] Choose adventure.
[08:16:37] Choose family.
[08:16:39] Choose a life of faith.
[08:16:43] Most importantly, choose Christ.
[08:16:48] [Applause]
[08:17:02] I love you, Charlie baby,
[08:17:06] and I will make you proud.
[08:17:11] God bless you all and God bless America.
[08:17:32] Heat.
[08:17:46] Heat.
[08:18:13] [Music]
[08:18:17] [Applause]
[08:18:19] with my soul.
[08:18:23] [Music]
[08:18:26] [Applause]
[08:18:26] [Music]
[08:18:37] Please welcome to the stage the 45th and
[08:18:40] 47th president of the United States,
[08:18:42] Donald J. Trump.
[08:18:45] [Applause]
[08:18:47] [Music]
[08:18:47] [Applause]
[08:18:49] [Music]
[08:18:57] If tomorrow all the things were gone, I
[08:19:01] work for all my life
[08:19:04] and I had to start again with just my
[08:19:08] children and my wife.
[08:19:12] Thank my lucky stars
[08:19:14] to be living here today.

[08:19:40] right to me. And I gladly stand up next
[08:19:45] to you and defend her still today.

[08:21:50] [Music]
[08:21:55] [Applause]
[08:21:57] [Music]
[08:21:57] [Applause]
[08:22:18] Well, I want to thank you very much,
[08:22:20] Lee. You've been there from the
[08:22:22] beginning with us, Lee, and we
[08:22:25] appreciate it. Nobody can sing that song
[08:22:27] like Lee Greenwood. Thank you very much,
[08:22:29] Lee, very much for being here.
[08:22:34] And his voice has not changed, you know,
[08:22:37] pretty amazing.
[08:22:39] And a special thank you to Erica
[08:22:43] because today
[08:22:46] America is a nation in grief, a nation
[08:22:48] in shock,
[08:22:50] and a nation in mourning.
[08:22:52] Less than two weeks ago, our country was
[08:22:55] robbed of one of the brightest lights of
[08:22:58] our times. A giant of his generation,
[08:23:01] and above all, a devoted husband,
[08:23:03] father, son,
[08:23:05] Christian, and patriot.
[08:23:09] Charles James Kirk
[08:23:12] was heinously murdered by a radicalized
[08:23:15] cold-blooded monster for speaking the
[08:23:17] truth.
[08:23:19] That was in his heart.
[08:23:22] He was violently killed because he spoke
[08:23:24] for freedom and justice, for God,
[08:23:27] country, for reason and for common
[08:23:30] sense.
[08:23:32] He was assassinated because he lived
[08:23:34] bravely.
[08:23:36] He led boldly and he argued brilliantly
[08:23:40] without apology.
[08:23:43] He did what was right for our nation.
[08:23:47] And so on that terrible day, September
[08:23:50] 10th, 2025, our greatest
[08:23:53] evangelist for American liberty became
[08:23:56] immortal.
[08:23:58] He's a model now for American freedom.
[08:24:03] I know I speak for everyone here today
[08:24:06] when I say that none of us will ever
[08:24:08] forget Charlie Kirk
[08:24:12] and neither now will history.
[08:24:23] Because while Charlie has been reunited
[08:24:27] with his creator in heaven, his voice on
[08:24:30] earth will echo through the generations
[08:24:34] and his name will live forever in the
[08:24:37] eternal chronicle of America's greatest
[08:24:39] patriots. He will live forever.
[08:24:43] To Charlie's incredible
[08:24:46] and beautiful widow, Erica,
[08:24:49] we know the weight of this monumental
[08:24:51] loss is almost unbearable.
[08:24:54] But even in the midst of heartache and
[08:24:56] pain too great to even fathom,
[08:25:00] you have somehow found the strength and
[08:25:02] deep faith to be a comfort to millions
[08:25:06] and millions of people.
[08:25:08] And thank you very much, Erica. Thank
[08:25:10] you very much.
[08:25:20] Today, an entire nation wraps its loving
[08:25:22] arms around you and your beautiful
[08:25:24] children. We share in your immense and
[08:25:28] overwhelming sorrow. And we vow that we
[08:25:31] will do everything we can to ensure that
[08:25:33] your children grow up in a land where
[08:25:35] their father is honored and revered as a
[08:25:39] great American hero. That's what he is.
[08:25:42] [Applause]
[08:25:48] To Charlie's parents who lost their
[08:25:50] beloved son and to the entire Kirk
[08:25:53] family, we know that no words can ever
[08:25:56] be enough to fill the void he leaves
[08:25:58] behind. That's a void that just can't be
[08:26:01] filled.
[08:26:02] But I hope the extraordinary outpouring
[08:26:04] of emotion over these past 11 days has
[08:26:08] comforted you with the knowledge that
[08:26:10] your son brought more good and love into
[08:26:12] this world in his 31 short years than
[08:26:15] most people, even very very successful
[08:26:18] people
[08:26:20] can bring in a lifetime.
[08:26:24] [Applause]
[08:26:28] Charlie Kirk loved America with
[08:26:30] everything he had. And as we can see so
[08:26:32] clearly today, America loved Charlie
[08:26:36] Kirk.
[08:26:45] And he could always draw a big crowd.
[08:26:49] Look at this today. Look at what's gone
[08:26:51] on. This is a big crowd. Here
[08:26:59] today, we have the Vice President of the
[08:27:02] United States, JD D. Vance. We have the
[08:27:05] Speaker of the US House of
[08:27:07] Representatives, Mike Johnson. We have
[08:27:10] countless members of the United States
[08:27:12] Senate, and I'm sorry, I'm not going to
[08:27:14] introduce you, but I'll be up here.
[08:27:16] They're all over the place.
[08:27:18] And likewise, the House of
[08:27:20] Representatives. They're all over this
[08:27:22] big
[08:27:23] stadium. This is not an arena. This is a
[08:27:26] stadium.
[08:27:28] Our great cabinet and this stadium
[08:27:31] packed with
[08:27:33] rafters of people. Not to mention the
[08:27:36] one
[08:27:37] across the street that also has tens of
[08:27:40] thousands of people and they're watching
[08:27:44] us on screen right now.
[08:27:50] And I'm sorry we couldn't get you in. If
[08:27:53] anybody would like to give up your seat,
[08:27:55] please walk across the street.
[08:27:59] But this is like an oldtime revival,
[08:28:02] isn't it? An oldtime revival.
[08:28:09] For millions of Americans, especially
[08:28:11] young people, it is agonizing and
[08:28:15] unthinkable to say goodbye to a patriot
[08:28:17] whose heart still had so much to give.
[08:28:20] It's so much.
[08:28:22] Raised in the suburbs of Chicago,
[08:28:25] Charlie was filled with a patriotic
[08:28:27] spirit from his youth. And he was an
[08:28:30] all-American in everything he did. And
[08:28:32] one of the last things he said to me is,
[08:28:34] "Please, sir, save Chicago.
[08:28:38] We're going to do that. We're going to
[08:28:39] save Chicago from horrible crime
[08:28:48] in high school.
[08:28:50] He was the quarterback of the football
[08:28:52] team and the captain of the basketball
[08:28:54] team. He was a good athlete. A lot of
[08:28:56] people don't know that about Charlie.
[08:28:58] He was an Eagle Scout who spent his
[08:29:00] school lunch breaks listening to another
[08:29:03] champion for Liberty.
[08:29:06] Somebody that he greatly admired, Rush
[08:29:09] Limbaugh.
[08:29:16] But what was even more important to
[08:29:18] Charlie than politics and service was
[08:29:21] the choice he made in the fifth grade
[08:29:23] which he called the most important
[08:29:26] decision of his life to become a
[08:29:28] Christian and a follower of his savior
[08:29:32] Jesus Christ.
[08:29:40] Inspired by faith and his love of
[08:29:43] freedom, Charlie did something
[08:29:45] remarkable when he was just 18 years old
[08:29:49] on the advice of a mentor who told him
[08:29:51] to put off going to college because he
[08:29:53] was doing so well. He devoted his life
[08:29:56] to converting young people to the
[08:29:59] conservative cause. How did he do? Take
[08:30:02] a look. Kennedy do.
[08:30:09] In 2012, 2 days after graduating high
[08:30:11] school, and with just $1,800 in his
[08:30:15] pocket, the young man from Illinois, who
[08:30:18] no one had ever heard of, started an
[08:30:22] organization whose grand ambitions were
[08:30:24] captured in its name, Turning Point USA.
[08:30:28] Great name.
[08:30:31] [Applause]
[08:30:34] And I have a feeling it's going to be
[08:30:36] bigger and better than ever before. Does
[08:30:38] that make sense? It's going to be bigger
[08:30:40] and better than ever before. Look at
[08:30:43] what's happening.
[08:30:49] 12 years ago, Charlie walked onto his
[08:30:51] first college campus, the very liberal
[08:30:54] University of Wisconsin at Madison.
[08:30:57] He set up a card table and put up a sign
[08:31:00] with three words, "Big government
[08:31:03] sucks." Can you believe that? That's
[08:31:05] Charlie.
[08:31:07] That day, Charlie talked to every
[08:31:09] student who approached him, most of whom
[08:31:12] were probably quite a bit older than he
[08:31:15] was. Finally, after many hours, he found
[08:31:18] the first ever Turning Point chapter
[08:31:21] leader. His first year out of high
[08:31:24] school, Charlie traveled 300 days
[08:31:26] raising money and taking his message to
[08:31:29] campuses all over the country. He lived
[08:31:32] out of his parents' basement. And they
[08:31:36] actually loved having him there. They
[08:31:37] loved they loved Charlie. Everybody
[08:31:40] loved Charlie. And on the couches of
[08:31:44] friends and supporters, he lived off
[08:31:46] couches for
[08:31:49] two years, three years. Then life
[08:31:51] started getting a little bit different,
[08:31:54] but he was always the same. For 5 years,
[08:31:56] he refused to take a paycheck, but day
[08:32:00] after day, he worked from 5:00 a.m. in
[08:32:02] the morning till 11:00 p.m. in the
[08:32:05] evening. Always.
[08:32:07] His staff remembers that he wore Walmart
[08:32:10] jeans and t-shirts from the Goodwill
[08:32:14] store. Remember the Goodwill store?
[08:32:17] It wasn't easy, but Charlie wasn't in it
[08:32:20] for money at all. Never has been. Money
[08:32:22] was never his thing. He was always in it
[08:32:25] for the mission.
[08:32:28] As he liked to say, even back then, we
[08:32:30] have a country to save.
[08:32:33] We This is what he did. He'd call me all
[08:32:35] the time. Sir, we have a country to
[08:32:37] save. I said, Charlie, thanks very much
[08:32:40] for telling me that. I appreciate it.
[08:32:44] Charlie volunteered for my 2016 campaign
[08:32:47] and traveled the nation
[08:32:50] with my son Don and Eric.
[08:32:54] I got to know him very well and saw
[08:32:57] immediately that Charlie was actually a
[08:33:00] master builder, master builder of
[08:33:02] people. It was Charlie who first started
[08:33:05] organizing young black conservatives
[08:33:08] hungry for support and leadership.
[08:33:11] It was Charlie who stood up for
[08:33:13] persecuted Christians and Jews on
[08:33:15] college campuses. It was Charlie who
[08:33:18] helped bring online censorship, free
[08:33:21] speech, and cancel culture to the four
[08:33:25] of our political debate. He was right up
[08:33:27] there with me. It was Charlie who helped
[08:33:30] unite MAGA.
[08:33:33] And you know what MHA is? That's right.
[08:33:37] Make America healthy again.
[08:33:40] And tomorrow we're going to have one of
[08:33:42] the biggest
[08:33:43] announcement really medically I think in
[08:33:46] the history of our country. We're going
[08:33:48] to be doing it with Bobby and Oz and all
[08:33:53] of the professionals. I think you're
[08:33:54] going to find it
[08:33:56] to be amazing. I think we found an
[08:33:59] answer to autism. How about that?
[08:34:02] Autism. Tomorrow we're going to be
[08:34:05] talking
[08:34:06] in the Oval Office, in the White House
[08:34:11] about autism,
[08:34:13] how it happens so we won't let it happen
[08:34:16] anymore,
[08:34:18] and how to get at least somewhat
[08:34:22] better when you have it so that parents
[08:34:25] can help their child, their beautiful
[08:34:27] child. That's a big one. I've been I've
[08:34:31] been bugging
[08:34:33] everybody over there get the answer to
[08:34:36] that.
[08:34:38] You know, uh
[08:34:40] 20 years ago, one in 10,000
[08:34:46] were born with autism.
[08:34:48] 20 years ago, the most recent survey
[08:34:51] says 1 in 12.
[08:34:56] How bad is that? That's for young boys,
[08:35:00] baby boys, but also uh girls a little
[08:35:04] bit better. It's about one in 20. But we
[08:35:07] can't because obviously there was
[08:35:09] something really wrong and we think we
[08:35:12] know what that is. It's going to be I
[08:35:15] think it's going to be one of the most
[08:35:16] important news conferences I'll ever
[08:35:18] have and I look so forward to it.
[08:35:27] And you know who else looked forward to
[08:35:29] it because he knew I tell him a little
[08:35:30] bit about what was going on was Charlie.
[08:35:33] He would have been front row center.
[08:35:34] Believe me, we'll be missing him
[08:35:36] tomorrow. It was such a big deal for
[08:35:38] him, too. He brought together
[08:35:42] Donald Trump, Bobby Kennedy right here
[08:35:46] in the great state of Arizona one year
[08:35:50] ago. Remember that? What a what a night.
[08:35:52] What a day that was.
[08:35:57] And it was Charlie who was among the
[08:35:59] first to speak to me about a man from
[08:36:01] Ohio
[08:36:03] by the name of Jay D. Vince. Have you
[08:36:05] ever heard of him? He's doing a good
[08:36:08] job.
[08:36:13] But Charlie would often call me
[08:36:17] sometimes the night before a big event
[08:36:20] the other side of the country
[08:36:23] and he'd ask me and say, "Uh,
[08:36:26] do you think you could come and speak at
[08:36:27] the event the following day, right?" I'd
[08:36:30] say, "Charlie, I'd give me a I'm the
[08:36:32] president of the United States.
[08:36:36] You want me to travel four hours by
[08:36:38] plane?" And you know, sometimes I did
[08:36:40] it. He was a very good guy. He was a
[08:36:43] very convincing guy. He didn't stop, but
[08:36:45] he would ask for things like that. Sir,
[08:36:47] could you be uh tomorrow in California?
[08:36:50] I said, "Charlie, give me a break,
[08:36:52] please."
[08:36:54] He just wouldn't stop. And he succeeded.
[08:36:57] But I almost always went because you
[08:37:00] never wanted to let Charlie down. He He
[08:37:04] worked so hard. You just didn't want to
[08:37:05] let him down. I felt guilty. He'd make
[08:37:07] me feel very guilty.
[08:37:10] As president, many people asked me for
[08:37:12] things, but Charlie was one of the few
[08:37:14] who always gave more than he took. He
[08:37:18] was a giver, much more than a taker.
[08:37:27] And no matter how big Charlie became, no
[08:37:29] one was too small for him to notice. He
[08:37:32] was good to everybody. Didn't matter.
[08:37:35] Several years ago, a fourth grader asked
[08:37:37] Charlie to appear on his podcast, which
[08:37:40] was probably only watched by the parents
[08:37:42] of that fourth grader. And Charlie, who
[08:37:46] was actually pretty hot at the time to
[08:37:48] be honest, he agreed and the boy
[08:37:52] asked for advice. Charlie replied, "The
[08:37:56] left. The left." I call it the radical
[08:37:58] left. I call it sometimes the radical
[08:38:01] left lunatics.
[08:38:04] But Charlie didn't say that. He called
[08:38:05] it the left.
[08:38:08] He was probably right, but I can't help
[08:38:10] it.
[08:38:12] I can't help.
[08:38:17] So he said, "The left radical left
[08:38:19] lunatics may have all the money in the
[08:38:22] world, but they could never outwork me.
[08:38:26] I will wake up as early as I need to
[08:38:28] about himself. I will stay up as late as
[08:38:30] I need to. and I will never stop
[08:38:32] fighting for our country. And he did
[08:38:35] this until his dying breath. That's what
[08:38:37] he was doing.
[08:38:40] That's what he was doing. Think of it.
[08:38:43] Wow.
[08:38:46] What a horrible moment. I was in the
[08:38:48] Oval Office when I heard they came in
[08:38:50] and I it was like a surreal experience.
[08:38:53] a terrible, terrible. I had some very
[08:38:54] big people in the Oval Office.
[08:38:58] And I was in the midst of a very
[08:39:00] important conversation for our country,
[08:39:02] big people, the biggest. And I said,
[08:39:05] "You have to leave now." When they told
[08:39:08] me that, they told me in front of a
[08:39:09] group of very powerful people. I said,
[08:39:12] "You have to leave now. Right now,
[08:39:14] please. Right now,
[08:39:16] you have to leave. Go."
[08:39:20] By his own determination and skill,
[08:39:22] Charlie Kirk built Turning Point from
[08:39:24] his humble
[08:39:27] beginnings, the beginnings that nobody
[08:39:28] believed could ever end up something
[08:39:30] like this into a great movement and a
[08:39:33] juggernaut of American politics. And you
[08:39:35] know, we have a massive stadium loaded
[08:39:37] up with people. But he got tremendous
[08:39:39] crowds before he had this kind of
[08:39:42] horrible
[08:39:44] news and before we had to hear what
[08:39:46] happened so terribly. He delivered more
[08:39:49] than 250 speeches a year at over 200
[08:39:52] colleges and
[08:39:55] universities. And that was
[08:39:58] at a time when it was not really vogue
[08:40:02] to go to colleges and universities if
[08:40:05] you were a conservative. It really took
[08:40:07] great courage. And we used to talk and I
[08:40:10] said, you know, I think they're much
[08:40:12] more conservative than we know. And he
[08:40:13] agreed. But it just wasn't something
[08:40:15] that was happening because the radical
[08:40:17] left would do very bad things, very
[08:40:20] dangerous thing. But Charlie set up
[08:40:22] chapters on 2,200 campuses and spoke at
[08:40:26] more than 1,000
[08:40:29] churches.
[08:40:31] He launched a podcast and radio show
[08:40:33] that grew to an audience of 1 million
[08:40:36] Americans a day, one of the bigger
[08:40:39] shows on radio.
[08:40:42] And Charlie didn't just bring young
[08:40:45] people into the movement. All of a
[08:40:47] sudden, it started to grow by leaps and
[08:40:49] bounds. By 2024,
[08:40:51] we won more young people than any
[08:40:53] Republican candidate in the history of
[08:40:55] our country, including for the first
[08:40:57] time a majority of males under 30. Can
[08:41:01] you believe it?
[08:41:06] Remember when Republican presidential
[08:41:08] candidates would get 4%?
[08:41:11] No, we did unbelievably with young
[08:41:13] people and he was a big big factor.
[08:41:17] Unbelievable.
[08:41:19] But he made me work for it. Sir, you
[08:41:20] have to make a speech here. You have to
[08:41:22] make a speech there.
[08:41:24] But we did it and we won. And our
[08:41:27] country is doing unbelievably well now.
[08:41:30] We had a country
[08:41:32] that was dead one year ago and now we
[08:41:35] have the hottest country anywhere in the
[08:41:37] world. and Charlie helped us make it
[08:41:40] that one of one of the great people.
[08:41:47] But through it all, the core of
[08:41:49] Charlie's message and his basic method
[08:41:52] never changed. It never really changed.
[08:41:54] He stayed the same person. Also, at
[08:41:57] every campus event, Charlie asked the
[08:41:59] people who disagreed with him to come
[08:42:01] forward and instead of silencing them,
[08:42:03] he handed them a microphone and let them
[08:42:06] speak.
[08:42:08] and he'd convinced so many of them. It
[08:42:10] was pretty amazing thing to watch
[08:42:11] actually. Shortly before Charlie arrived
[08:42:14] on campus the day he was assassinated, a
[08:42:17] staff member texted him that there were
[08:42:19] many critics and students who were
[08:42:21] opposed to his views and rather
[08:42:23] strenuously in the crowd and that
[08:42:27] actually made him feel good because he
[08:42:29] he wanted to convince them. He
[08:42:31] understood he really did. He understood
[08:42:32] what was right and he was right about
[08:42:34] that. A lot of it was based on common
[08:42:37] sense, by the way. Charlie wrote back to
[08:42:41] the staff member
[08:42:43] saying, "I'm not here to fight them. I
[08:42:46] want to know them and love them and I
[08:42:49] want to reach them and try and lead them
[08:42:51] into a great way of life in our
[08:42:54] country." In that private moment on his
[08:42:57] dying day, we find everything we need to
[08:43:00] know about who Charlie Kirk truly was.
[08:43:03] He was a missionary with a noble spirit
[08:43:06] and a great great purpose. He did not
[08:43:10] hate his opponents. He wanted
[08:43:13] the best for them. That's where I
[08:43:14] disagreed with Charlie.
[08:43:17] I hate my opponent.
[08:43:19] And I don't want the best for them. I'm
[08:43:21] sorry. I am sorry, Erica.
[08:43:24] But now Erica can talk to me and the
[08:43:26] whole group and maybe they can convince
[08:43:28] me that that's not right. But I can't
[08:43:30] stand my opponent.
[08:43:35] Charlie's angry looking down. He's angry
[08:43:37] at me now.
[08:43:39] He wasn't interested in demonizing
[08:43:41] anyone. He was interested in persuading
[08:43:44] everyone to
[08:43:46] the ideas and principles he believed
[08:43:48] were good, right, and true.
[08:43:51] Before each appearance, he prayed these
[08:43:54] words. God, use me for your will. Always
[08:43:58] said the same thing. Use me for your
[08:44:00] will.
[08:44:06] And that is exactly what God did when
[08:44:08] you think that's exactly what he did.
[08:44:11] The more success Charlie had and he was
[08:44:13] getting more and more successful,
[08:44:16] the more dangerous his mission became.
[08:44:19] On campuses all over the country, his
[08:44:21] quest for open dialogue was met with
[08:44:25] menacing hate. There were bomb threats,
[08:44:29] pulled fire alarms, and countless
[08:44:32] ragefilled radicals who tried to shout
[08:44:34] him down. It was nasty. I used to say,
[08:44:37] "Charlie, this is nasty stuff you're
[08:44:39] doing." At one event, police had to
[08:44:42] build barricades to protect students
[08:44:45] from an angry mob of thugs. Many of
[08:44:48] these people, by the way, are paid a lot
[08:44:50] of money to do this. They're agitators.
[08:44:52] They're paid agitators. Remember that?
[08:44:54] When you see they all have the same
[08:44:56] beautifully printed sign,
[08:44:58] every sign is identical. Comes out of a
[08:45:01] top level print shop. That's not the
[08:45:04] signs that are made in somebody's
[08:45:05] basement. Those are paid for by very bad
[08:45:09] people. And hopefully we're going to be
[08:45:10] finding out through the DOJ who those
[08:45:13] people are.
[08:45:19] At another college, Antifa terrorists
[08:45:22] shattered windows, threw rocks, and
[08:45:24] tried to storm the building where
[08:45:26] Charlie was speaking. It was a really
[08:45:29] bad one. Often, dozens of police
[08:45:31] officers were needed to prevent
[08:45:33] left-wing violence.
[08:45:35] And the violence comes largely from the
[08:45:38] left. You don't hear that from too many
[08:45:40] people, do you? And virtually every day
[08:45:43] for years
[08:45:45] before he was murdered, Charlie received
[08:45:48] these horrible death threats. People
[08:45:51] don't know. I used to talk to him about
[08:45:52] it. He said, "I got some threats." He
[08:45:55] always felt that when they actually made
[08:45:57] the threat, they were not the ones to
[08:45:59] worry about. The ones to worry about
[08:46:01] were the ones that don't make the
[08:46:02] threats.
[08:46:04] And I think you know what I mean. He
[08:46:06] knew the risk, but he and I shared a
[08:46:09] certain motto. Never back down and never
[08:46:12] ever surrender. Just don't surrender.
[08:46:13] Never back down. He believed in it so
[08:46:15] strongly.
[08:46:17] So strongly. And he's right. He's
[08:46:19] totally He's totally right. The radicals
[08:46:23] and their allies in the media,
[08:46:26] sometimes referred to, as my son said,
[08:46:29] the fake news media, tried to silence
[08:46:32] Charlie for a simple reason. Because he
[08:46:36] was winning. And he was winning big. He
[08:46:38] was taking over college campuses.
[08:46:41] Colleges that had
[08:46:43] in theory only very liberal or as they
[08:46:46] like to say progressive. I call them
[08:46:47] liberal but they like to call
[08:46:49] themselves. It's such a beautiful word
[08:46:51] progressive. They're the opposite of
[08:46:52] progressive if you think about it. But
[08:46:55] they were
[08:46:57] really nasty. And he would go into these
[08:46:59] colleges all of a sudden within two
[08:47:01] years, three years they turn into
[08:47:02] bastions of conservatism. It was really
[08:47:05] quite amazing to see. They lied about
[08:47:08] him because they did not want you to
[08:47:10] listen to him or to learn from him
[08:47:12] because what he was talking about and
[08:47:15] even preaching made so much sense
[08:47:17] everywhere he went. He won the debates.
[08:47:20] He won the hearts. He won the minds. And
[08:47:22] yes, he won the elections for people. He
[08:47:24] helped us. He helped other people. We
[08:47:26] won the biggest election in the history
[08:47:28] of our country. I believe
[08:47:36] Charlie Kirk was without a doubt among
[08:47:39] the most influential figures and the
[08:47:41] most important election in the history
[08:47:42] of our country. The election of oh that
[08:47:46] beautiful day, November 5th, 2024. Do
[08:47:50] you remember that day? It was nine
[08:47:51] months ago.
[08:47:54] What a day that was.
[08:47:59] I mean, we had a pretty good day on the
[08:48:01] first one. And I must tell you, on the
[08:48:04] second one, we had a phenomenal day, but
[08:48:07] a lot of bad things happened.
[08:48:10] And now that's not even questioned. They
[08:48:13] cheated like dogs.
[08:48:15] But we got them back, didn't we? Huh? We
[08:48:17] got them back.
[08:48:21] But we owe Charlie a profound and
[08:48:24] eternal debt of gratitude. Now, just
[08:48:27] like Charlie and Erica made turning
[08:48:29] point hot,
[08:48:31] we are looking at a country that has the
[08:48:34] chance to
[08:48:37] attain a level like never before.
[08:48:40] Tariffs are making us rich again, richer
[08:48:42] than anybody ever thought was possible.
[08:48:46] And the only one challenging them are
[08:48:48] people that hate our country or foreign
[08:48:50] countries that are paying a price
[08:48:52] because they did the same thing to us
[08:48:54] for years. They took advantage of us.
[08:48:56] But we're we're making money. We're
[08:49:00] becoming richer and richer and we're
[08:49:04] taking care of our people better and
[08:49:06] better when we do that. And we can take
[08:49:07] care of other countries better and
[08:49:09] better. But we're doing unbelievably
[08:49:12] well. The tariffs have really been a
[08:49:13] hold. The election was big, but the
[08:49:16] tariffs because of the election came in.
[08:49:18] And remember, other nations do that to
[08:49:20] us. And Charlie understood that. He saw
[08:49:23] the money. He saw what was coming into
[08:49:25] our country and we can use that for
[08:49:27] Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, all
[08:49:30] of these things that we fight so hard
[08:49:32] for. And that's exactly what's
[08:49:34] happening. The numbers are incredible.
[08:49:37] When the news finally came out on
[08:49:40] election night last November, that the
[08:49:42] race was officially won. Came out pretty
[08:49:45] early in the night.
[08:49:47] Charlie was live on camera. In that
[08:49:50] moment, he was overcome with emotion.
[08:49:52] I've never seen him like this. He was so
[08:49:54] happy for a long while he said nothing.
[08:49:57] His eyes were filled with tears and then
[08:49:59] he buried his face
[08:50:02] in his hands and he started crying. That
[08:50:04] wasn't the Charlie I knew. But in
[08:50:06] thinking about it, it actually was the
[08:50:08] Charlie I knew because he had a
[08:50:10] tremendous heart. He just wanted what
[08:50:12] was good for our country and he saw us
[08:50:13] going in such a horrible direction.
[08:50:16] Lovingly, Eric, and this was so
[08:50:19] beautiful. Erica put a MAGA hat on to
[08:50:23] cover his bowed head. I like that very
[08:50:26] much. MAGA. We love Does everybody love
[08:50:28] MAGA? Make America great again.
[08:50:36] When Joe Biden used to get up, remember
[08:50:38] the speeches, we will stop MAGA. We will
[08:50:41] stop MAGA. You know, he could barely get
[08:50:44] the words out. We will stop. I said,
[08:50:46] "Can somebody inform him the MAGA means
[08:50:49] make America great again? How do you say
[08:50:52] you're gonna stop it?"
[08:50:54] And Charlie understood that. When
[08:50:56] Charlie finally looked up and spoke, he
[08:50:58] smiled through the watery eyes and
[08:51:00] simply said, "I am humbled by God's
[08:51:04] grace." That was his statement that
[08:51:05] night. I w I was watching him. I was
[08:51:08] very impressed actually.
[08:51:11] It showed he had a big heart. Every
[08:51:14] single American should take a long hard
[08:51:16] look at the twisted soul and dark spirit
[08:51:19] of anyone who would want to kill a young
[08:51:22] man as good as
[08:51:24] Charlie. To kill anybody, but to kill a
[08:51:27] man like this, he didn't deserve this.
[08:51:29] He didn't deserve this. Our country
[08:51:31] didn't deserve this. And anyone who
[08:51:32] would make excuses for it are just out
[08:51:37] of their mind.
[08:51:39] Charlie's murder was not just an attack
[08:51:41] on one man or one movement. It was an
[08:51:45] attack on our entire nation.
[08:51:48] That was a horrible attack on the United
[08:51:51] States of America. It was an assault on
[08:51:54] our most sacred liberties and God-given
[08:51:56] rights. The gun was pointed at him, but
[08:51:59] the bullet was aimed at all of us. That
[08:52:01] bullet was aimed at every one of us.
[08:52:04] Indeed, Charlie was killed for
[08:52:05] expressing the very ideas that virtually
[08:52:08] everyone in this arena and most other
[08:52:10] places throughout our country deeply
[08:52:14] believed in. But the assassin failed in
[08:52:17] his quest because Charlie's message has
[08:52:19] not been silenced. It now is bigger and
[08:52:23] better and stronger than ever before.
[08:52:26] And it's not even close.
[08:52:32] And it's rare that such a thing happens.
[08:52:34] But Charlie is bigger today than he was,
[08:52:37] think about it, just two weeks ago. He's
[08:52:40] bigger today than he was two weeks ago.
[08:52:42] Now, that may not help his friends and
[08:52:45] loved ones, of which there are so many.
[08:52:48] It may not help Erica and those
[08:52:50] beautiful children who have to suffer so
[08:52:53] horribly through this moment. But they
[08:52:55] know it's true. He's bigger now than
[08:52:58] ever before. And he's eternal. He's
[08:53:02] eternal. And I just want to say we love
[08:53:05] him. And he's looking down at us right
[08:53:07] now and he's saying, "Wow, that's a
[08:53:09] great crowd."
[08:53:11] He's saying, "That's a great crowd."
[08:53:18] And it's a great crowd of patriots.
[08:53:22] But that's why I will soon award Charlie
[08:53:26] the nation's highest civilian honor, the
[08:53:28] Presidential Medal of Freedom. It's the
[08:53:31] highest civilian honor
[08:53:45] and we will do the ceremony at our
[08:53:47] beautiful White House in a very safe
[08:53:50] Washington DC.
[08:53:52] A place that Charlie truly revered.
[08:53:56] You know, we stopped the crime in
[08:53:57] Washington. Took 12 days.
[08:54:01] Now you can go to restaurants. You can
[08:54:03] walk down the middle of the street with
[08:54:05] your wife. You can have your wife walk
[08:54:07] alone down the middle of the street.
[08:54:09] She's going to be in good shape. What a
[08:54:11] difference. What a difference good
[08:54:13] management really makes. But it's I'm so
[08:54:17] proud of that. Washington DC. You know,
[08:54:19] it was one of the worst in the nation in
[08:54:20] the world and now it's considered a very
[08:54:24] safe city and uh it's also I passed it
[08:54:27] yesterday. I went through it and the the
[08:54:30] lawns are good. The it's like a
[08:54:32] different place. It's like the tents are
[08:54:35] gone, the threats are gone, the gangs
[08:54:37] aren't there. We got rid of, you know,
[08:54:40] we took out 1,500 career criminals.
[08:54:43] 1,500. If you have three career
[08:54:46] criminals, that can make a a big
[08:54:48] difference. But I'm so proud of
[08:54:50] Washington DC and now we're going into
[08:54:52] Memphis and we'll get that one
[08:54:54] straightened out fast. And then we're
[08:54:56] going into some others, but we're going
[08:54:57] to go to Chicago and we're going to have
[08:55:00] Charlie very much in mind when we go
[08:55:02] into Chicago and we'll get that one
[08:55:05] straighten out. You have an incompetent
[08:55:07] governor who he thinks it's okay when 11
[08:55:10] people get murdered over the weekend.
[08:55:13] He thinks you don't have any crime when
[08:55:14] 11 people get murdered and 28 people get
[08:55:18] shot. He says he's got crime. No, they
[08:55:21] they don't have it under control, but
[08:55:23] we'll have it under control very
[08:55:25] quickly. So, we're going to be doing
[08:55:26] that. And Charlie loved what we were
[08:55:28] doing. He was so proud of what happened.
[08:55:30] He was there to see it. He so proud of
[08:55:32] what happened in Washington DC.
[08:55:35] As you know, the depraved assassin who
[08:55:37] planned and executed
[08:55:40] Charlie's killing has been arrested and
[08:55:42] charged with capital murder. God
[08:55:45] willing, he will receive the full and
[08:55:47] ultimate punishment for his horrific
[08:55:50] crime. It's a terrible thing
[08:55:54] because you can't let that happen. You
[08:55:57] can't let that happen. Can't let it
[08:55:59] happen to a country. The Department of
[08:56:02] Justice is also investigating networks
[08:56:05] of radical left maniacs who fund
[08:56:07] organized fuel and perpetrate political
[08:56:10] violence. And we think we know who many
[08:56:14] of them are. But law enforcement can
[08:56:17] only be the beginning of our response to
[08:56:20] Charlie's murder. Over the last 11 days,
[08:56:24] we have heard stories of commentators,
[08:56:27] influencers, and others in our society
[08:56:29] who greeted his assassination with sick
[08:56:32] approval, excuses, or even jubilation.
[08:56:36] You've heard that. So have I. Couldn't
[08:56:38] believe it. Some of the very same people
[08:56:40] who spent the last eight years trying to
[08:56:43] sit in moral judgment of anyone who
[08:56:45] disagreed with them about politics
[08:56:47] suddenly started cheering for a murder.
[08:56:51] Incredible. You know the names. They're
[08:56:55] uh major losers, by the way. They'll be
[08:56:58] that will be proven out in a short
[08:57:01] period of time. Some of the very people
[08:57:03] who call you a hater for using the wrong
[08:57:06] pronoun were filled with glee at the
[08:57:09] killing of a father with two beautiful
[08:57:12] young children. And the same
[08:57:14] commentators who this week are screaming
[08:57:16] fascism over a cancelled late night TV
[08:57:20] show where
[08:57:22] the anchor had no talent and no ratings.
[08:57:26] Last week were implying that Charlie
[08:57:28] Kirk deserved what happened to him.
[08:57:33] No side in American politics has a
[08:57:35] monopoly on disturbed or misguided
[08:57:38] people. But there's one part of our
[08:57:40] political community which believes they
[08:57:42] have a monopoly on truth, goodness, and
[08:57:44] virtue and concludes they have also a
[08:57:48] monopoly on power, thought, and speech.
[08:57:50] Well, that's not happening anymore.
[08:57:52] We've turned that corner very quickly.
[08:57:54] Tragically, atrocities of this kind and
[08:57:58] kind that we saw in Utah of all places
[08:58:00] are the eventual consequence of that
[08:58:03] kind of thinking. If speech is violence,
[08:58:06] then some are bound to conclude that
[08:58:09] violence is justified to stop speech.
[08:58:12] And we're not going to let that be
[08:58:14] justified. The tradition of reason and
[08:58:16] open debate that Charlie practiced is
[08:58:19] not a pillar of our democracy. In many
[08:58:22] ways, it's the basis of our entire
[08:58:25] society.
[08:58:27] It's the right and inheritance of every
[08:58:30] free American, the greatest legacy of
[08:58:32] the Enlightenment and among the most
[08:58:34] treasured achievements of civilization.
[08:58:38] We will defend it at all costs and we
[08:58:40] will carry forward the torch of liberty
[08:58:42] that Charlie Kirk held so proud and so
[08:58:45] high. He was so proud and he did hold
[08:58:49] that torch high. We will never ever let
[08:58:51] it fail.
[08:58:53] We will never let it fail. But we're
[08:58:56] going to raise it higher than ever
[08:58:59] before. It's going to be raised. And
[08:59:00] this is the beginning. Perhaps it should
[08:59:03] be no surprise that Charlie, who spent
[08:59:05] his life speaking with the critics of
[08:59:07] these traditions, ultimately became
[08:59:09] convinced that we needed not just a
[08:59:11] political realignment, but also a
[08:59:13] spiritual reawakening. We did. And we
[08:59:17] have to bring back religion to America
[08:59:19] because without borders, law and order,
[08:59:21] and religion, you really don't have a
[08:59:24] country anymore. We want religion
[08:59:26] brought back
[08:59:28] to America. We want to bring God back
[08:59:31] into our beautiful USA like never
[08:59:33] before. We want God back.
[08:59:41] Charlie would have been so pleased to
[08:59:42] hear his friends and colleagues today
[08:59:44] giving testimony and giving glory to
[08:59:48] God.
[08:59:50] Within minutes of the gunshot in Utah,
[08:59:53] millions of Americans, young and old,
[08:59:55] heard the news and dropped to their
[08:59:56] knees and started praying. Even many who
[09:00:00] rarely prayed, ask God for a miracle.
[09:00:02] Please, God, save Charlie. But although
[09:00:05] Charlie's time with us on earth has
[09:00:08] ended, those prayers for a miracle have
[09:00:11] already been answered. Look at what's
[09:00:13] happening. Look at what's happening. In
[09:00:16] the days since Charlie's death, we have
[09:00:19] seen how his legacy has touched so many
[09:00:22] millions around the world. In Calgary,
[09:00:25] Canada, thousands gathered at city hall
[09:00:28] to sing the American national anthem and
[09:00:31] raise up posters with the name Charlie
[09:00:35] Kirk. In Soul, South Korea, crowds
[09:00:38] gathered to wave American flags and
[09:00:40] shout,
[09:00:41] "We are for Charlie Kirk." His memory
[09:00:45] has been honored in the streets of
[09:00:47] Berlin, Warsaw, Vienna, Sydney, Madrid,
[09:00:50] London, Tel Aviv, and all over the
[09:00:53] world.
[09:00:56] So beautiful to watch.
[09:01:01] A man as far away as rural Australia
[09:01:04] texted a pastor, "I'm going to come to
[09:01:06] church tomorrow for the first time
[09:01:08] ever." The pastor is, "Why is that?" The
[09:01:12] man replied, "Because of Charlie Kirk."
[09:01:14] Can you imagine?
[09:01:16] The lesson of Charlie's life is that you
[09:01:19] should never underestimate what one
[09:01:21] person can do with a good heart, a
[09:01:24] righteous cause, a cheerful spirit, and
[09:01:28] the will to fight, fight, fight.
[09:01:31] Have to fight.
[09:01:36] We're saving our country.
[09:01:39] And Charlie's a big factor. Such a big
[09:01:41] factor. Charlie Kirk started with only
[09:01:44] an idea to change minds on college
[09:01:47] campuses and instead he ended up with a
[09:01:50] far greater achievement changing
[09:01:52] history. He changed history. Today
[09:01:56] Charlie Kirk rests in glory in heaven
[09:01:59] for all eternity. He has gone from
[09:02:02] speaking on campuses in Wisconsin to
[09:02:05] kneeling at the throne of God where he
[09:02:07] is right now.
[09:02:14] We grieve
[09:02:16] for the friend and leader that we have
[09:02:18] lost. But we go forward strengthened by
[09:02:21] his faith and bolstered by his courage
[09:02:24] and inspired by his example to defend
[09:02:27] the country he lived for. For the
[09:02:30] freedoms he died for and the values in
[09:02:33] which he so deeply believed. He believed
[09:02:35] in values
[09:02:37] that we should all believe in. Charlie
[09:02:39] created something very special. It's
[09:02:41] called Turning Point USA. And under the
[09:02:44] leadership and love of Erica, it will
[09:02:47] become bigger and better and stronger
[09:02:49] than ever before.
[09:02:58] So Charlie, we all want to thank you. We
[09:03:01] want to say a very loud God bless you.
[09:03:04] Charlie, God bless you for what you've
[09:03:06] done is incredible.
[09:03:08] And God bless Erica and the children.
[09:03:11] God bless the United States of America.
[09:03:14] And could I ask Erica, please come out?
[09:03:17] Erica, please come out. Thank you.
