1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: American student organization in the country, fighting for the future

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: of our republic. My call is to fight evil and

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: stop sending your kids to college. You should get married

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: Go start at turning point, you would say, college chapter.

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: Go start at turning point, you say high school chapter.

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: up and become an activist. I gave my life to

14
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: the Lord in fifth grade, most important decision I ever

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: made in my life, and I encourage you to do

16
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 1: the same. Here I am Lord, Use me. Buckle up, everybody,

17
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored

18

Speaker 1: only precious metals company. I recommend to my family, friends

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: and viewers.

21
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: This is a full circle moment for me. Two years ago,

22
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: my husband stood on this stage and said, here I

23
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: am lord, use me, and boy did he You know,

24
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: it's really interesting.

25
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 3: The enemy has thrown a lot of curve.

26
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: Balls at us today and this week, in the past

27
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: three months, and one of them is the fact that

28
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: my entire speech has been wiped because my iPad won't

29
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: even turn on. So that's a fun technical difficulty.

30
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 3: That we can figure out. So we're just gonna wing it.

31
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 3: We're just gonna wing it.

32
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: I was gonna share with you stats, I was gonna

33
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: share with you all the things that we have going

34
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: on buildings.

35
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna just start it off with this.

36
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: So last year, Charlie, I'll rewind ampest is Charlie's Super Bowl.

37
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: Thank you. These are the stats.

38
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: I got the stats, no speech, So again, we're gonna

39
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: wing it.

40
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: So amfest.

41
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: Last year, Charlie reminded me that this was his Super Bowl.

42
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: And for those of you who are sitting in the back,

43
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: my husband was very intentional about making sure he was

44
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: in the back because he wanted to sit and what

45
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: he considered maybe the worst seat in the arena. And

46
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 2: he made it a point to listen to the whole

47
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: intro video, every speaker video, and he would tell the

48
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: team louder, more bass, more noise. He would say, there's

49
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: a treble and a base knob turn the ones to

50
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: make it right. So even if you feel like you're

51
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: in the worst seat in the house, you're not because

52
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 2: Charlie sit in one of those. So you're in good

53
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: company up there. But what's also very interesting is that

54
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: when Charlie first and the team first came up with

55
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: since I don't have a speech, I might as well

56
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: just walk around. When Charlie first came up with Amfest,

57
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: he thought to himself, who would not love to celebrate America?

58
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: So we're gonna name it Amfest And that's what he did.

59
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: And I'll never forget last year we were blessed to

60
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: have President Trump come and speak. And afterwards, Charlie turns

61
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: to me starts running, like where are you going? He's like,

62
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: I'm about to go on Air Force One. I'm in

63
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: heels trying to chase him to figure out what is

64
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: going on.

65
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 3: He goes, okay, so I.

66
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: Got to get on Air Force one.

67
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: I was like, good for you, baby.

68
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: He's like, okay, So I need you to close out

69
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: the Amfest and I need you to do the staff

70
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 2: meeting afterwards, and I was like, excuse me. He's like, yeah,

71
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: you're closing out Amfest and I was like, I am

72
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: not closing out Amfest. He's like, yes, you are in here.

73
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: And I said what am I supposed to say? And

74
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: he goes, You'll figure it out. That's why I married you.

75
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: I was like, you always say that to me whenever

76
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: we're in a position where we won't like there's no script,

77
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: there's nothing. He's like, baby, you'll figure it out. That's

78
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 2: why I married you. So again, here we are.

79
00:04:59,680 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 3: Right.

80
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: So now we're opening Amfest. But what's so interesting and

81
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: what I have learned so much within these past three months.

82
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: Again the enemy, but he will never win. We know

83
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: we're on the winning side. God is so good. So

84
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: Charlie loved to share Amfest stats.

85
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: So that's what we're going to do really quick.

86
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: He would love for you guys to know that eighty

87
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 2: percent of the attendees have never attended a tep USA

88
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: event before. So thank you for everyone who is new.

89
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: Welcome home. Turning Point USA is your home and we're

90
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: loving that your year. One third of the attendees are students.

91
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: Fifty yeah, we love our students. Fifty four percent are

92
00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 2: female attendees. Okay, we have forty breakout sessions, one hundred

93
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: and seventy eight sponsors, all fifty states represented. We have

94
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 2: twenty five countries represented, plus Puerto Rico. But I have

95
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: the list here. Don't worry, guys. Egypt is not on

96
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: the list. Don't worry about that. But oh, how funny

97
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: I say Egypt and my iPad turns on.

98
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 3: That's fun? Where were we? Okay?

99
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: So anyways, the past three months, I have learned a lot.

100
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: You learn very quickly who is ready to go to

101
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 3: war with you.

102
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: You learn very quickly who thinks emotionally versus logically. When

103
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: you go through something as horrible that not only myself

104
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: went through, but every single one of you in here

105
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: that loved my husband, you find out who.

106
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: Stays with you, who leaves. You find out a lot.

107
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: You find out who's going to pray with you when

108
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: there's no words left. And you also learn some unexpected things,

109
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: like the fact that joy Reid probably needs a really,

110
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: really good hug, and honestly, I'm here for it if

111
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: she needs it. I got a good hug for you,

112
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: good hug for you. I'll even touch the back of

113
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: your head.

114
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,119
Speaker 3: But I love you, guys.

115
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 2: But here's what I've learned the most in these past

116
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: three months is that my husband, he deeply mattered on

117
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: a multitude of levels, so much so that it proved

118
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: even more once he was assassinated, how much of a

119
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,679
Speaker 2: keysemaker he was and how much of a coalition builder

120
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: he was. Because when he was assassinated, we saw in fighting,

121
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: We've seen fractures, we've seen bridges being burned that shouldn't

122
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: be burnt.

123
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: We saw a lot on full display.

124
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: And what I knew as a wife, and I'm the

125
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 2: same exact way as him. If you are trying to

126
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: put up fight or flight mode, we're always fight mode.

127
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: We don't retreat. Charlie would go wherever.

128
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: He needed to go, and I'm the same exact way,

129
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 2: same exact way. And you'll learn that. You'll learn that

130
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 2: about me the more that you get to know me.

131
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,119
Speaker 2: I know I'm new here, I'm new here, but you'll

132
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: learn you'll learn Him and I were not afraid of that.

133
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: And that's also why the past several months, several weeks,

134
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: I honored my husband by completing all of he's pre

135
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: planned fall media toward hits for his book, his any

136
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: commitment he had. I wanted to honor that for him.

137
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 2: I wasn't going on a media tour myself. This was

138
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: for my husband because in our household, our word is

139
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: our bond, and when you give it, you uphold it.

140
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 3: So I honored my husband that way.

141
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 2: And so what I'm inspired by is the fact that

142
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: Charlie and I.

143
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: Again will go wherever we need to go. But so

144
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 3: will you. That's why you guys are here.

145
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: All of you are here because you know that you're

146
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: sitting saying I want to do something.

147
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: So that's why you came here. You came here to.

148
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: Meet other peop to know that you're not in this

149
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: fight alone. You were here for a purpose. God made

150
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: you for a purpose. Students, raise your hands. Out of

151
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: those students, drop your hands, if put your hand up.

152
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 2: If you're in high school, Okay, all of you.

153
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 3: I love it. I love my high school.

154
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 2: As Charlie had a very special place in his heart

155
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: for Club America. Who's like, how could you not love

156
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: Club America? All of you again going where you need

157
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: to go. If your Club America is not set up,

158
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: or you want to set one up, step right into

159
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: your admin's office.

160
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 3: College students, raise.

161
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: Your hands, got a lot of them. So where you

162
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 2: got to be willing to go is on your campus.

163
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 3: That means either.

164
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: Starting a chapter, joining a chapter, maybe even one day

165
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: putting up a tent in the quad.

166
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: We're not afraid for church goers. Hold your past.

167
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: You're accountable for biblical citizenship. Okay, there are so many

168
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: ways to get involved. That's why Charlie built Turning Point

169
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 2: USA the way he did. He didn't care your race,

170
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: your age, your background. If Charlie listened to every single

171
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: person that told him you're too young to make a difference,

172
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: you don't have enough connections, you're not going to do it,

173
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: he would have let that noise consume him, and he

174
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 2: would not have built the machine that he has built today.

175
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: So don't you dare let anyone tell you you're too young,

176
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: you're not smart enough, and you're not connected enough. As

177
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: long as you're a part of Turning Point in usay,

178
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: we will empower you and give whatever you need to

179
00:11:51,520 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 2: be able to make that come to life. Okay. Charlie

180
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: wasn't just a speaker. He wasn't just a political thinker.

181
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: He wasn't just a thought leader. Again, he was a

182
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 2: bridge he was a pathway, He was a connection point

183
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: to generations. He was a pathway and connection point communication

184
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: to inner politics. And he also looked at a generation

185
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: that has been mocked, that has been dismissed, that has

186
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: been discouraged, and told them you matter, your ideas matter,

187
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 2: your decisions matter. And he would say this country is

188
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: still worth defending and still worth sacrificing for. So, like

189
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: all of you, this is our turning point as well,

190
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: especially as we move into twenty twenty six. And I

191
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: want to share with you off this paper. I'm not

192
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: going to wing it this one because I want all

193
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: of you guys to absorb the magnitude of these numbers.

194
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 2: The number of student requests to get involved since nine ten,

195
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 2: One hundred and forty thousand plus get involved request have

196
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 2: been submitted since nine ten, one hundred and forty thousand.

197
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 2: Total number of students involved this is involved within Turningport USA.

198
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: One million plus students involved in Turning Point USI. Current

199
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: chapter numbers as of December eighteenth, twenty twenty five, three

200
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: thousand and eighty two Club America chapters, one thousand, four

201
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty two College chapters, so that leaves four thousand,

202
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 2: five hundred and fourteen total chapters as of today, and

203
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: we are starting fifty chapters per day at turning point USA.

204
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 2: It's amaza. Something I also love right now is how

205
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 2: we are getting some amazing state partnerships with Club America.

206
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: I want to give a huge shout out to Oklahoma.

207
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: Oklahoma's in the house, Florida, Okay, Indiana, Texas of course,

208
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: and Tennessee. Another turning point for us for twenty twenty

209
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: six is the Make Heaven Crowded Tour, something I'm very

210
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: excited about for those of you who attended the memorial service,

211
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: that revival is a slice of Heaven that I'm going

212
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: to make sure we take around this whole entire country.

213
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 2: So we have difference tour, what stops that are going

214
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: to be coming up that I want you guys to

215
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 2: be aware of. Feel free to take a picture whenever

216
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 2: they put it up there. But if you're in any

217
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 2: of these cities we are bringing that to you, It's

218
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: going to be amazing. God is so good. God is

219
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: so good. I also want to note that our church

220
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: partnership since nine ten, we have over eight thousand church

221
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: partnerships and counting.

222
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 3: This one's very special to me.

223
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: Charlie's love for debate will always be the DNA of

224
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: Turning Point USA. We believe in debate because we believe

225
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: in truth, and we believe in civil discourse because we

226
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 2: believe that truth can withstand scrutiny. So that is why

227
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: we will be launching the Pick Up the Mic initiative

228
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 2: and getting back on campus for Prove Me Wrongs and

229
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: campus tour events this spring and fall of twenty twenty six.

230
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: I'm also really excited about everything that we're doing at

231
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: Turning Point Action. We are locked in and mission focused

232
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: for both twenty twenty six and twenty twenty eight. We're

233
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 2: investing in states and not just in races. So what

234
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: I mean by that is we are building the Red

235
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: Wall Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire.

236
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 3: That's going to be very important to us.

237
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: We're going to ensure that President Trump has Congress for

238
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: all four years. We are going to get my husband's

239
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: friend JD Vance elected for forty eight and.

240
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 3: The most were down New Way passable.

241
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 2: And for our hometown Arizona folks. So you guys in

242
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: the house Arizona, go bigs or go home.

243
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 3: Is where we're at right now mentally.

244
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 2: But my husband didn't build this movement so people could

245
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 2: feel comfortable. He built this movement so people could feel.

246
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 3: Brave and to be brave with action, so.

247
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 2: People could see on full display that when you stop

248
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 2: talking to people, especially those that you disagree with, you

249
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: are the one that actually becomes weaker.

250
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 3: Let that sink in. So you may not agree with

251
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 3: everyone on.

252
00:17:50,960 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 2: This stage this weekend, and that's okay, Welcome to America.

253
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 3: Charlie would have welcomed that.

254
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 2: He believed disagreement was something not to be canceled. It

255
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 2: was something to confront with clarity, courage, and grace. And

256
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 2: Charlie loved truth way more than conformity. So this weekend

257
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: for me personally is laced with nostalgia.

258
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 3: And it's laced with hope.

259
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: But deeper than that, it's about carrying forward what Charlie

260
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: built and ultimately what he gave his life for. And

261
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: I've said it before and I'll say it again. The

262
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 2: mission didn't end with Charlie's life. It's being lived out

263
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: through each and every one of you in your own way. Again,

264
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter, your age, doesn't matter, your race, doesn't matter,

265
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 2: your background. Amfest is about echo chambers. It's very important

266
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: to know that because it's about sharpening one another, it's

267
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: about digging deeper into ideas instead of retreating into slogans,

268
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: and it's about remembering that freedom requires responsibility and truth

269
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: requires courage. So my challenge to you this weekend is

270
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: very simple. Don't just attend Amfest. Let it mark you,

271
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 2: let it stretch you, Let it challenge assumptions, strengthen convictions,

272
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 2: and maybe even make you a little uncomfortable, because that's

273
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 2: where growth happens in those moments. Let it be another

274
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: turning point in your life, another moment where you decide

275
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 2: not to a drift, not to disengage, not to give

276
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 2: into cynicism, but to stand up boldly, to be brave,

277
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 2: to speak clearly, because that is how we are going

278
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 2: to honor Charlie. We are going to honor him not just.

279
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 3: With words, but with action. So with that, welcome to Amfast.

280
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,320
