We've all missed the mark the bulls eye, 171 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 16: and we try to get to God by our efforts, 172 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 16: but there is no effort that will bring us back 173 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 16: into the presence of a righteous God. 174 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 17: You see, the wages of sin is death, Charlie. 175 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 16: Knew this, and at an early age he entrusted his 176 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 16: life to the savior of the world. Jesus came to 177 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 16: this earth, was tempted in all ways, yet was without sin, 178 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 16: was crucified upon a cross. 179 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 17: His blood was poured. 180 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 16: Out, because blood must be shed for the remission of sin, 181 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 16: and his death upon that cross was sufficient for all 182 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 16: the world's sins, but only efficient for those who, like Charlie, 183 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 16: would receive him as their savior. Jesus has come to 184 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 16: seek and save that which is lost. And I would 185 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 16: say this to all of you. The Lord loves you. 186 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 16: He wants to save you. He wants to give you 187 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 16: a new life. He wants to cover the multitude of 188 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 16: your sins by the blood he shed upon the cross. 189 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 16: The Bible says, if you believe in your heart and 190 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 16: you confess with your tongue Jesus's Lord, you will be 191 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,959 Speaker 16: saved to the glory of the Father. You see, Charlie 192 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 16: looked at politics as an on ramp to Jesus. He 193 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 16: knew if he could get all of you rowing in 194 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 16: the streams of liberty, you'd come to its source. 195 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 6: And that's the Lord. 196 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 16: In the time I have remaining I'm going to ask 197 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,719 Speaker 16: all who profess Christ is their savior to remain seated. 198 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 16: The Bible says, if you profess me before man, I'll 199 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 16: profess you before my father in Heaven. It requires an 200 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 16: act of faith. 201 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 17: You stand. That's what Charlie did every day on campus 202 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 17: with death threats. 203 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 16: He stood because he knew in whom he had trusted, 204 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 16: and he wants to give you the gift of the 205 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 16: why and what he did, and that is his Savior, Jesus. 206 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 17: While believers are seated, if there's. 207 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 16: Any in this room and across the globe that would 208 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 16: desire to receive Jesus as their saviors, Charlie did as 209 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 16: a young man and now is in the presence of 210 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 16: his Savior. I'm going to ask you to put action 211 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 16: to your faith, and I'd ask you to stand right 212 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 16: now to receive the Lord. 213 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 17: Don't be a shamed stand, amen, Amen, Amen, the Bible says. 214 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 16: The Bible says that when one sinner gives their heart 215 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 16: to the Lord, the angels in heaven rejoice. And I 216 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 16: gotta tell you there's one up there right now. Charley 217 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 16: Kirky's stoked and he's excited about. 218 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 17: Your commitment to a Savior for this remaining moment. 219 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 16: If you've given your heart to the Lord and someone 220 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 16: has seated next to you, I want that person who's 221 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 16: a believer to stand and pray with you, and please 222 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 16: up on the screen.

I think he went 251 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 12: to one quarter one semester. 252 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 26: He dropped out. 253 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 12: Of Rebecca Done. Rebecca Duns, one of the founders, helped them, 254 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 12: one of the first donors. First donors, Rebecca Done, then Larry. 255 00:27:58,480 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 12: All right, let's go to the stage. 256 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 27: Charlie Kirk was scheduled to speak at my husband's upcoming memorial. Instead, 257 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 27: I am here speaking at Charlie's memorial. It means a 258 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 27: lot to share my story. Almost twelve years ago I 259 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 27: met this bright young man, filled with optimism about his 260 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 27: plan to reach young people. I was so impressed that 261 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 27: I invited him to come to our home and tell 262 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 27: my husband and me more about his organization. That young man, 263 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 27: of course, was Charlie Kirk, and his organization was turning 264 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 27: point USA Charlie told us how he wanted to start 265 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 27: two chapters in North Florida. When asked how much money 266 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 27: it would take, he told us he thought it would 267 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 27: take about fifty thousand dollars. Not knowing anything about this 268 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 27: young man except that he sounded impressive, we told him 269 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 27: that if he could raise the first half, we would 270 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 27: give him the remaining twenty five thousand. Two days later, 271 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 27: Charlie called to say that he had raised the money. 272 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 5: He was not in his hometown, he was not even 273 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 5: in his home state. 274 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 27: He was twenty years old, and yet he met our challenge. 275 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 27: I laughed and I told him, I said, well, Charlie, 276 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 27: I guess we owe you a check. That was Charlie 277 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 27: Kirk's first Challenge grant. After that initial grant, we followed 278 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 27: suit with multiple Challenge grants, each one larger than the previous, 279 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 27: eventually growing into the millions. In the early days, Charlie 280 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 27: felt like a son to me. More recently, I was 281 00:30:55,320 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 27: the one looking up to him. Charlie never disappointed that 282 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 27: he met every challenge with optimism and grit. Today, I 283 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 27: feel like Charlie is challenging us. Will we meet his 284 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 27: challenge to fight for freedom? For family for faith. More importantly, 285 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 27: will we do this the way that Charlie did with 286 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 27: a heart that loves God. Before you answer that question, 287 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 27: I would like to share something else with you. Shortly 288 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 27: before I met Charlie, I had become very discouraged about 289 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 27: the atmosphere in our country. I even suggested to my 290 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 27: husband that maybe we should stop trying. It seemed that 291 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 27: the money and time we were giving to freedom causes 292 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 27: did not seem to be making a difference. Bill asked 293 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 27: me to read an article by Larry Reid. 294 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 18: The essence of the. 295 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 27: Article said this, If we truly believed in freedom, we 296 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 27: must never stop trying to preserve it. We had a 297 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 27: moral obligation to fight for freedom, and as long as 298 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 27: there is a breath in our bodies, we must fight. 299 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 27: By encountering Charlie, we met a true freedom fighter. 300 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 5: Today. 301 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 27: There is no doubt that Charlie Kirk fought for freedom 302 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 27: with the last to breath in his body. Thank you, 303 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 27: Charlie Kirk, and thank you to everyone who will not 304 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 27: stop fighting, to all who will meet the challenge Charlie 305 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 27: gave us. 306 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 28: Thank you. 307 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 12: Charlie's. One of Charlie's first donors, Mary Larry aren't of Hillsdale, 308 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 12: where Charlie really went to college, and all the correspondence courses. 309 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 12: This man had a huge influence on Charlie Kirk's intellectual life. 310 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 12: Back to the main stage. 311 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 29: Good morning, we had the pastor. I'm the school teacher. 312 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 29: I have one short story to tell you about Charlie Kirk. 313 00:33:59,080 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 17: My friend. 314 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 29: He became a friend of mine because I interrogated him 315 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 29: one time. Nineteen year olds are my specialty. I asked 316 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 29: him some questions he couldn't answer, and he was already 317 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 29: becoming famous. And I noticed his reaction. He said, what 318 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 29: should I do? And I said, well, you have to suffer. 319 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 29: If you want to grow, you have to suffer hard 320 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:26,280 Speaker 29: to learn. Into the night, crack the dawn in the morning. 321 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 29: Start with the Bible, read the classics, study the founding 322 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 29: of America. In those places you will find that there's 323 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 29: a letter that reaches up toward God. And at the 324 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 29: bottom of it is the ordinary good things that are 325 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 29: around us everywhere. If we can call them by their names, 326 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 29: they have being, and the beings of the good things 327 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 29: are figments of God. You will find that article in Aristotle, 328 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 29: you will find it in the Bible. You will find 329 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 29: it in Madison and Jefferson. 330 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 6: How do I learn that? 331 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 29: He said, And I said, you have to suffer, you 332 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,359 Speaker 29: have to study, you have to think. 333 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 18: I thought I'd never hear from him again. 334 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 29: Within a month, he got hold of my cell phone 335 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 29: number and he texted me a copy of a certificate 336 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 29: of completion of a Hillsdale College online course. He would 337 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 29: go on to do that thirty one times. I keep 338 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 29: a list in my head of the six or eight 339 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 29: young people, and I'm very privileged. I get to know 340 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 29: many inspiring young people who are the best I ever saw. 341 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 29: Charlie is the only one who is never a full 342 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 29: time student at Hillsdale College who was on that list. 343 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 29: We will miss him dearly. He can't be replaced. Do 344 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 29: you know a good thing is the thing that has being. 345 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 29: An assassin is not a thing that has being. The 346 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 29: assassin must give up his humanity to destroy something that 347 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 29: has being. Charlie lives on. 348 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 15: The assassin will die. 349 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 29: My wife, who's here with me today, and I have 350 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 29: set up a scholarship in the hope that Charlie's children 351 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:46,760 Speaker 29: will go to a good college. I have one in mind, 352 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 29: and this may the ninth. Erica doesn't know this, yet 353 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 29: we are going to give Charlie and Erica the greatest 354 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 29: respect a college can give, an honorary degree. Charlie, you see, 355 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 29: has suffered enough. He's gone to the Lord. 356 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 12: He deserves his reward. 357 00:37:26,520 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 15: Thank you, Please welcome Mikey McCoy, Stacy Sheridan, Tyler Boyer. 358 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 12: These are the keys to These are the some of 359 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,439 Speaker 12: the main players at Turning Point Action. 360 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 30: Hello everyone, My name is Mikey McCoy. I had the 361 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 30: unique honor, blessing and privilege of a lifetime to not 362 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:38,280 Speaker 30: only call Charlie a precious friend mentor, but to travel 363 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 30: with him literally everywhere. The first time I met Charlie 364 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 30: was when I was driving him and his then girlfriend 365 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 30: Erica to the airport after he had spoken at my 366 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 30: father's church. The entire car ride he was grilling me 367 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 30: on Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, American history. At the end he said, 368 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 30: don't go to college, come work for me instead. At eighteen, 369 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 30: I canceled my college plans moved to Arizona. My life 370 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 30: was forever changed by Charlie. All of us in this 371 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 30: room have that in common. My first day working at 372 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 30: Turning Point, I met an incredible girl who Charlie was 373 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 30: interviewing on his podcast, sharing the story of her family 374 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 30: who had survived a totalitarian regime, whose grandfather was imprisoned 375 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 30: in the gulags for ten years for preaching the gospel. 376 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 18: Elizabeth and I were married a year later. Thank you, Charlie. 377 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,359 Speaker 30: When Charlie would speak on college campuses, he'd often wear 378 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 30: T shirts with inspiring taglines like here, I am never 379 00:39:55,600 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 30: surrender freedom. But as I've w which back so many 380 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,760 Speaker 30: clips these past eleven days, my favorite, and so often 381 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 30: worn by him, was live free. Eleven days ago, my 382 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 30: friend was martyred for using his voice to engage in 383 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 30: peaceful dialogue. Charlie's assassin thought that he could steal in 384 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 30: silence his voice by putting a bullet in his neck. 385 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 30: In the words of Sore and Keeergarden, the tyrant dies, 386 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 30: and his rule is over. The martyr dies in his 387 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 30: rule has just begun. Charlie was not silenced. His movement 388 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 30: is only beginning. The voices of millions globally have been awakened, 389 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 30: furthering his cause in mission far beyond anyone's comprehension. We 390 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 30: won't power and fear, We will never surrender. We are 391 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,800 Speaker 30: resolved to live free from lives and seek out what 392 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 30: is true. We will respectfully, boldly challenge what is accepted 393 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 30: by culture in order to seek out what is true 394 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 30: and acceptable to God Almighty alone. 395 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 31: To everyone here today live free. 396 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,719 Speaker 30: True freedom is not found in doing whatever we want, 397 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 30: but pursuing Christ, in doing what is right. In Charlie's words, 398 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 30: get married, have more children than you can afford, build 399 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 30: a legacy, pass down your values, pursue the eternal, seek 400 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 30: true joy. 401 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,440 Speaker 18: Charlie led by example. 402 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:16,480 Speaker 30: It's not only seen in the incredible wife Erica Kirk, 403 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 30: his two beautiful children, the legacy he built, his values, 404 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 30: his love of God, in true joy he found in 405 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:28,439 Speaker 30: his savior Jesus Christ, but in countless people, especially young 406 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 30: people like Elizabeth and I, whose very lives are the 407 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 30: fruit of Charlie's example of faithfulness. Charlie, it was the 408 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 30: honor of my life to serve you as you serve Jesus, 409 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 30: and now we will all continue to serve you as 410 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 30: we continue to serve Jesus. 411 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:51,319 Speaker 18: Thank you so much. 412 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 31: I love you, Charlie. 413 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,480 Speaker 18: I can't wait to see you again. 414 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 30: God bless Erica Kirk CEO in chair of Turning Point USA, 415 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 30: The Kirk family and God bless America. 416 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 32: Oh my goodness, Charlie's having some serious heavenly fomo right now. 417 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 18: Look at this. 418 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 32: You have no idea how much Charlie Kirk wants a bullhorn. 419 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 18: Down here right now. 420 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 32: He always said to me, if we could just figure 421 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 32: out how to bring the Holy Spirit into a Trump rally, 422 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 32: think you've done it. My name is Tyler Boyer. I 423 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 32: was the CEO of Churning Point USA and now the 424 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,880 Speaker 32: CEO of Churning Point Action. You may know me from 425 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 32: the Charlie Kirk Show or our weekly podcast Thought Crime 426 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 32: with Charlie, Jack Blake, and Andrew, but I'm also the 427 00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:58,959 Speaker 32: longest tenured employee at Churning Point. 428 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 18: I met my friend Charlie in twenty fourteen. 429 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 32: We connected when Turning Point USA was just in its infancy, 430 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 32: sharing the vision for what the conservative movement should be. 431 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 32: Charlie was just a kid then I was a little older. 432 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 32: We had a lot in common. I didn't like rhinos, 433 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 32: he didn't like rhinos. I was the youngest guy at 434 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 32: tea party meetings. He was the youngest guy at tea 435 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:31,759 Speaker 32: party meetings. Charlie didn't go to college. I went to 436 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:41,760 Speaker 32: ASU so I basically didn't go to college. You're welcome, 437 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,480 Speaker 32: doctor Crow. We went to work every day on a 438 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,960 Speaker 32: twenty four hour clock. When Charlie turned twenty one, he 439 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 32: didn't have a home. Turning Point USA was in his 440 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 32: first year of raising real money. He was just a 441 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 32: kid to me, but donors would ask him where he lived, 442 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 32: and he took personal offense to the congestion. He still 443 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 32: lived in his parents' basement, although his parents probably wanted 444 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 32: him to be there all the time. He was a 445 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,880 Speaker 32: grown twenty one year old man. After all, he was 446 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,719 Speaker 32: rarely home in Chicago. He lived on a plane and 447 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 32: zip back and forth. As Turning Point USA became his life, 448 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 32: all his personal mail came to a little detached garage 449 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 32: at two seventeen and a half Illinois Street. Whereas Charlie 450 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,960 Speaker 32: would constantly remind you, like every good startup, Turning Point 451 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 32: USA was founded. So anyway, as we worked twenty four 452 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 32: to seven, he would tell every supporter of ours. Between 453 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 32: me and him, we were a team that was never 454 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 32: off the clock full coverage. I would usually stay up 455 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 32: till two or three in the morning working on the 456 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,800 Speaker 32: next big Turning Point USA project and text Charlie reports 457 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 32: of what our team that day had accomplished. It was 458 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,439 Speaker 32: like this every day work report and wait to see 459 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:55,319 Speaker 32: my text messages to Charlie flip from delivered to Red 460 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 32: as soon as he woke up on the East coast 461 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 32: so we can be firing away feedback thoughts and a 462 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,320 Speaker 32: flurry of brilliant Charlie Kirk ideas as soon as he 463 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,719 Speaker 32: opened his eyes. I'm not kidding you. This was every 464 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,719 Speaker 32: single day and it takes is All it takes is 465 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,719 Speaker 32: two dudes to dream up big stuff and talk to 466 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 32: each other in really insane ideas, which Charlie and I 467 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,320 Speaker 32: did often to one another. We would go back and 468 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 32: forth with those ideas, perfecting them, turning into bigger, more 469 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:22,759 Speaker 32: insane and impactful things and of course expensive concepts. 470 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 18: The ideas literally never stopped. 471 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,759 Speaker 32: It was around the clock problem solution chat that worked 472 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,120 Speaker 32: to dream big for the conservative movement, come up with 473 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,520 Speaker 32: new ideas, plan new things, fix all problems. My job 474 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,280 Speaker 32: was to turn them into proposals and presentations and voila 475 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,000 Speaker 32: we would work to execute. Charlie would take Red Eyes 476 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 32: from coast to coast, going all over the country like 477 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,200 Speaker 32: a crazy man, on any and every possible donor, meeting 478 00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 32: with every possible donor who would take a meeting so 479 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 32: our ideas and fixes for the conservative movement could help 480 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 32: young people once and for all. I oftentimes would go 481 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,640 Speaker 32: with them and marvel at the deranged twenty two year 482 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:04,320 Speaker 32: old lifestyle of bathing and airport bathrooms, eating full plates 483 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 32: of vegetables of meat at ten pm at night after 484 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 32: a long day's work. He was the best at doing 485 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,239 Speaker 32: all of it. Our success gave me the job of 486 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 32: a lifetime, and I'm grateful for it. For the rest 487 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,799 Speaker 32: of my life. I got I got really good at 488 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 32: recruiting the best young talent in the country to come 489 00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 32: work for us, and it was non stop. 490 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,480 Speaker 18: We were a hell of a team, and that's how 491 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 18: it worked. 492 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,320 Speaker 32: Turning Point USA was built and the Charlie Kirk vision 493 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,719 Speaker 32: was delivered. I had the special honor at Charlie and 494 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,400 Speaker 32: Erica's wedding to give a toast speech for Charlie the groom. 495 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:39,160 Speaker 32: It was significantly less pressure than this room, an incredibly 496 00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 32: beautiful wedding, but small and important room of people. I 497 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 32: admittedly think, I can admittedly say I didn't think that 498 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,440 Speaker 32: I would have to give another Charlie Kirk speech. This 499 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 32: soon at his wedding, I told the story of talking 500 00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 32: Charlie in to moving to Arizona. He was an adamant 501 00:47:56,080 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 32: Chicago by boy. I needed to break that Selfishly. I 502 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,799 Speaker 32: wanted to love Arizona because I had recently convinced him 503 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 32: to move Turning Point USA to Arizona. It was a 504 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 32: hard sell at first, and that was until I hosted 505 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,400 Speaker 32: the first Trump rally in Trump rally history, right here 506 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,080 Speaker 32: in Arizona in twenty fifteen. 507 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 10: I got a call. 508 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 18: I got a call from. 509 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:25,839 Speaker 32: Miss Erica Kirk, Miss Arizona, twenty twelve. I just want 510 00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 32: to help, she said, so. 511 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,520 Speaker 18: Naturally, I put her right behind the president at that 512 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:33,240 Speaker 18: first rally. After that we talked. 513 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,719 Speaker 32: It was obvious she was the perfect person for the 514 00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,320 Speaker 32: job that Charlie and I had devised in one of 515 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 32: our twenty four hour planning sessions. I wanted to hire her. 516 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 32: I only had one problem. Charlie Kirk wanted a dater. 517 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,719 Speaker 32: Long story short. I was very worried he was going 518 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,440 Speaker 32: to scare her off and screw it up, and I 519 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:57,080 Speaker 32: was gonna lose this incredible prospect. Like all things he 520 00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 32: put his mind to, Charlie accomplished everything he put his 521 00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,600 Speaker 32: mind too. They immediately fell in love and I lost 522 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 32: an employee. But now she's my boss. I'm sure you've 523 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:15,000 Speaker 32: heard we love Erica Kirk. Over the years, we built 524 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 32: a lot of things. The largest field operation the Conservative 525 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,680 Speaker 32: movement between high school college faith and Action, the first 526 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,360 Speaker 32: ever ballot chase, the operation that won the election for 527 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:31,959 Speaker 32: President Trump, the largest event in the Conservative movement, most 528 00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,320 Speaker 32: of which have been huge and but in convention centers. 529 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,880 Speaker 32: In twenty twenty one, in the aftermath of COVID, we 530 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,040 Speaker 32: weren't sure if society was ever going to bounce back 531 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,160 Speaker 32: and ever get back to normal, so we began planning 532 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,680 Speaker 32: what was one of the crazy ideas known as America Fest. 533 00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:48,520 Speaker 32: I hope you'll all be there this year. We decided 534 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,440 Speaker 32: to move it to swing state Arizona and hope and 535 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,080 Speaker 32: pray that this would work. After the world shut down 536 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 32: for so long, Charlie, like all our twenty four to 537 00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,600 Speaker 32: seven ideas sessions, texted me in our VP of events, 538 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:03,120 Speaker 32: Lauren Sage, late at night and he showed us and said, 539 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:04,440 Speaker 32: this is my vision. 540 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,520 Speaker 18: It was an image of a full stadium. 541 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,080 Speaker 32: A few seconds later he sent these images of full 542 00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,720 Speaker 32: stadiums of people hoping for that to be a future 543 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:17,239 Speaker 32: Turning Point event. Well, Charlie, my friend, I'm happy to 544 00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:21,560 Speaker 32: report we're standing in your vision. You did it, buddy, 545 00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:28,440 Speaker 32: We love you. You are sitting in the vision for 546 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:29,720 Speaker 32: Charlie ker God bless. 547 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,720 Speaker 33: My name is Justin Streif and I'm the chief operating 548 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:47,720 Speaker 33: officer for Turning Point USA since September tenth. My thoughts 549 00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:52,000 Speaker 33: keep returning to one thing, and that's time. Charlie lived 550 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,799 Speaker 33: only thirty one years. Yeah, when I reflect on those years, 551 00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,520 Speaker 33: I see more impact and more courage and more achievement 552 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:03,280 Speaker 33: than most men accomplished lifetime. I've known Charlie for a decade, 553 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,360 Speaker 33: and I'd like to share a little of what I 554 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 33: learned from him. 555 00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:08,880 Speaker 18: Charlie often said that having. 556 00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,440 Speaker 33: Courage is one of the easiest things in the world 557 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:15,840 Speaker 33: because all it requires is you to say yes. Courage 558 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:19,240 Speaker 33: does not require talent, it does not require natural ability. 559 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:24,560 Speaker 33: Courage requires a personal decision. It's interesting that people often 560 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:28,280 Speaker 33: describe Charlie as completely fearless, but the truth is simpler 561 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:32,760 Speaker 33: and much more profound. Charlie simply refused to let fear 562 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 33: stop him from carrying out God's will for him and 563 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:36,360 Speaker 33: his life. 564 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:39,800 Speaker 18: His courage. 565 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,959 Speaker 33: His courage was a daily choice, a yes, no matter 566 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:45,879 Speaker 33: the cost, and it cost him his life. 567 00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,879 Speaker 18: This truth forced me to reflect on what we can't control. Time. 568 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,920 Speaker 18: It's fleeting, it's fragile, and it's sacred. Charlie knew this. 569 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,439 Speaker 33: Better than anyone else. He didn't waste time. He lived 570 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,600 Speaker 33: every moment with conviction. He lived as a man of 571 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:06,440 Speaker 33: character and truth and courage, and he taught us not 572 00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:10,359 Speaker 33: just through words, but through actions. Charlie was the same 573 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,880 Speaker 33: person he in private as he was in public, and 574 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:14,080 Speaker 33: that's why we trusted him. 575 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,919 Speaker 18: That's why we loved him. That's why we all feel 576 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:18,120 Speaker 18: this loss so deeply. 577 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,759 Speaker 33: His honesty, his compassion, and his insistence on truth drew 578 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:27,320 Speaker 33: people in, even those who disagreed with him. Charlie stirred 579 00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 33: patriotism in us, But more deeply, he stirred our hunger 580 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,680 Speaker 33: to live united under God. He told us to stop 581 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,440 Speaker 33: and think, to use common sense, to grow up and 582 00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,360 Speaker 33: pitch in. He asked us to hear the words that 583 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 33: God wrote on our hearts. I am the Lord, your God, 584 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,880 Speaker 33: and you shall have no other gods before me. This 585 00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:46,520 Speaker 33: is not a message of comfort. 586 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:47,320 Speaker 18: Or safety or peace. 587 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,600 Speaker 33: It's a message of love, a love of God's will. 588 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 33: Charlie's life was anchored by that love. Every day he 589 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,920 Speaker 33: left his home the comfort of it, his wife, his children, 590 00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,560 Speaker 33: to face criticism and threats and angry mobs and ultimately death. 591 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,279 Speaker 33: He loved God more than he loved safety, or applause 592 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,600 Speaker 33: or even his own life. That's because the last thirty 593 00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:16,400 Speaker 33: one years weren't his career, they were his calling. Charlie's 594 00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,440 Speaker 33: legacy is this. He showed us how to be better people. 595 00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,799 Speaker 33: He gave voice to truth, and he followed God's will. 596 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 33: He started with nothing more than in an idea and 597 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,840 Speaker 33: a folding table, and over thirteen years, with time and 598 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 33: courage and faith, he built a movement that changed the world. 599 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:42,799 Speaker 33: Now that Charlie's gone, what happens next, It's up to us. 600 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,359 Speaker 33: Time is fleeting, but the decisions we make here right 601 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:50,279 Speaker 33: now are eternal. So let us honor Charlie by doing 602 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:57,040 Speaker 33: what he did. Stand for truth, confront evil, live courageously, 603 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 33: and we do it the way that Charlie did, with 604 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:06,239 Speaker 33: compassion but never compromising on truth. Demanding the best of 605 00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,080 Speaker 33: ourselves from each other and from our country. 606 00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,360 Speaker 18: Charlie reminded us that courage requires only. 607 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:17,440 Speaker 33: A yes, and he said yes every single day. And 608 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,719 Speaker 33: now it's our turn. It's our turn to say yes, 609 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:26,480 Speaker 33: to speak boldly, to speak honestly, to fight for our families, 610 00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:32,120 Speaker 33: to love our country, to honor God, and to wisely 611 00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 33: use the time that we've been given. And it's to 612 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,279 Speaker 33: do for the next generation what Charlie did for us, 613 00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,680 Speaker 33: because this, all of this, right here and right now, 614 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:44,040 Speaker 33: is our turning point. 615 00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,160 Speaker 18: We love you, Charlie, and we won't let you down. 616 00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:02,160 Speaker 28: My name is Stacy Sheridan. 617 00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:06,600 Speaker 34: Eight years ago, I met Charlie in a crowded ballroom 618 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,240 Speaker 34: in West Palm Beach at a David Horowitz Freedom Center event. 619 00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,479 Speaker 34: We spoke briefly, we exchanged cards, and I thought nothing 620 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:15,719 Speaker 34: of it. 621 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:20,000 Speaker 28: What ultimately. 622 00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:24,600 Speaker 34: Made me want to join Charlie's cause in Charlie's team 623 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,400 Speaker 34: because he began a quest to hire me after meeting me. 624 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:34,120 Speaker 34: I was reluctant at first, but it was his naive 625 00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:38,080 Speaker 34: audaciousness to change. 626 00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,279 Speaker 28: The world that ultimately sold me. 627 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,680 Speaker 34: It was the best decision I've ever made, and I've 628 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:50,920 Speaker 34: never looked back. Yes, technically Charlie was my boss, but 629 00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:52,319 Speaker 34: it really never felt that way. 630 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,520 Speaker 28: Far more than my boss. I felt like he was 631 00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:57,239 Speaker 28: my little brother. 632 00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:02,360 Speaker 34: So the guys that went before or me spoke about 633 00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,279 Speaker 34: him as a boss and a leader, I'm going to 634 00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:08,240 Speaker 34: speak about him from my heart as a family member. 635 00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:14,400 Speaker 34: In twenty twenty two, my husband Mike became sick with cancer. 636 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:20,319 Speaker 34: Two years later, that cancer took his life. Throughout those 637 00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:25,040 Speaker 34: two years, Charlie called me consistently to ask how he 638 00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:29,880 Speaker 34: could help us. At one point, he had critical medication 639 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:34,360 Speaker 34: and an oxygen machine sent to my doorstep without my knowledge. 640 00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,120 Speaker 28: I still to this day have no idea how he 641 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:43,640 Speaker 28: made that happen. But that was Charlie. He did the 642 00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:44,160 Speaker 28: right thing. 643 00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,800 Speaker 34: There was no limit to how far he'd go to 644 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:52,920 Speaker 34: help a friend. He wasn't looking for publicity or credit. 645 00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:58,960 Speaker 34: He did it because that's what a leader does. That's 646 00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,280 Speaker 34: what a friend does, yes, and that's what a Christian 647 00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:07,320 Speaker 34: is supposed to do. Sometimes I would express guilt to 648 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:09,960 Speaker 34: Charlie that I couldn't do my job at one hundred percent. 649 00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:19,640 Speaker 34: Charlie's response every single time was family first. When Mike 650 00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:25,240 Speaker 34: ultimately passed away, Charlie and the entire team were there 651 00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:26,760 Speaker 34: for us yet again. 652 00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,680 Speaker 28: They helped my daughter Grace through. 653 00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:35,440 Speaker 34: The unbearable tragedy of losing her father on her ninth birthday. 654 00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:42,760 Speaker 34: But Charlie's help didn't stop there. This January, I lost 655 00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:48,680 Speaker 34: my home in the Pacific Palisades fire. Charlie's response was 656 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:54,760 Speaker 34: very clear and very direct.

You see, I see it 815 01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:12,320 Speaker 38: now clearly that Charlie Kirk was a prophet, not the 816 01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,400 Speaker 38: fortune telling kind that could predict the future, but the 817 01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:20,479 Speaker 38: biblical kind. He confronted evil and proclaimed the truth and 818 01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:22,479 Speaker 38: called us to repent and be saved. 819 01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:25,679 Speaker 37: Amen. 820 01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:33,960 Speaker 18: And he wasn't mean about it. 821 01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:37,920 Speaker 38: He was kind and he was loving, and you could 822 01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:40,519 Speaker 38: hear in his voice that he desperately wanted the best 823 01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:50,439 Speaker 38: for you and for all of us. So, friends, look 824 01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:56,320 Speaker 38: around you. We've been worshiping, we've been singing, we've been joyful. 825 01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:59,840 Speaker 38: Our hearts are grieving, but we do not grieve as 826 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:06,240 Speaker 38: the world's grieves, because it says in scripture, oh death, 827 01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:09,960 Speaker 38: where is your victory? Oh death, where is your sting? 828 01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:28,240 Speaker 38: Christ has overcome death? And Charlie, we are so grateful 829 01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:32,360 Speaker 38: for the harvest that your life and legacy is producing 830 01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:37,000 Speaker 38: all around us. And you can see it the workers. 831 01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:39,759 Speaker 38: There's a whole lot more workers than there were before. 832 01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:42,120 Speaker 18: And so let me leave you with this. 833 01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:45,000 Speaker 38: For all the fans of the Charlie Kirk show out there, 834 01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:49,240 Speaker 38: you'll know the line.

Who 848 01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:10,040 Speaker 40: could feel that revival happening right now? How does it 849 01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:16,160 Speaker 40: always work? What man intends for evil, God intends for good. 850 01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:20,040 Speaker 40: Evil thought that there'd be a funeral today, God has 851 01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:25,200 Speaker 40: created a revival right here in this house, right now. 852 01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:37,639 Speaker 40: Charlie always had that revival energy, didn't he? When Charlie 853 01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:41,080 Speaker 40: first met me, I was a degenerate loser. I'm still 854 01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:45,160 Speaker 40: a loser, but I was addicted to alcohol. I had 855 01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:47,040 Speaker 40: no wife, I had no kids, I had nothing going 856 01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:50,240 Speaker 40: for me. After ten years of work with Charlie Kirk, 857 01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:55,760 Speaker 40: after his witnessing to my life, I have become a 858 01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:59,760 Speaker 40: Christ centered man. I am happily married to the woman 859 01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:04,000 Speaker 40: of my dream sitting right there with our youngest son, 860 01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:09,679 Speaker 40: who just turned eight today, eight months, and he's wearing 861 01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:14,000 Speaker 40: ducks for Charlie's beloved Oregon Ducks today. That's baby Whittaker. 862 01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:20,840 Speaker 40: In honor of Charlie. All of you had a Charlie 863 01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:23,720 Speaker 40: moment in your life. Didn't you raise your hand of 864 01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:28,080 Speaker 40: Charlie Kirk centered you a little closer to Christ? Did 865 01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:32,679 Speaker 40: Charlie help you achieve your American dream a little bit more? 866 01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:35,680 Speaker 18: Did Charlie have that effect? Look at every single. 867 01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:41,080 Speaker 40: Hand, stand up, say amen, if Charlie Kirk had that 868 01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:49,800 Speaker 40: effect on your life, look at this one hundred thousand Americans, 869 01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:54,680 Speaker 40: millions watching online standing up and saying, that is the 870 01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:59,720 Speaker 40: revival spirit of Charlie Kirk's life, and that is the 871 01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:05,519 Speaker 40: power of martyrdom. Because Charlie Kirk is a martyr. And 872 01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:11,960 Speaker 40: the true Christian tradition. If you take out a tyrant, 873 01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:17,360 Speaker 40: his power goes away. You cut down a martyr, his 874 01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:23,280 Speaker 40: power grows. And that's what we see time and time again. 875 01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:27,160 Speaker 40: We're seeing it across this country. Who's seen the full churches, 876 01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:31,880 Speaker 40: the full parking lots. Who knows somebody now who's a 877 01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:35,240 Speaker 40: Satanist or an agnostic, Who's now looking at Charlie's life 878 01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:38,559 Speaker 40: in this revival moment in our country and going, maybe 879 01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:39,960 Speaker 40: I got it all wrong, Maybe I do need a 880 01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:43,320 Speaker 40: Christ center my life. This is what Charlie always wanted, 881 01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:47,599 Speaker 40: is how he wanted to be remembered in the mold 882 01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:54,799 Speaker 40: of Stephen, the first martyr. Stephen was killed for speaking 883 01:14:54,880 --> 01:15:00,880 Speaker 40: the truth about Christ, much like Charlie Kirk. Stephen was 884 01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,799 Speaker 40: the same age as Charlie Kirk when he was martyred. 885 01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:10,000 Speaker 40: At that time, Christianity was just a few very scared 886 01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:18,760 Speaker 40: Christians in Jerusalem, and after Stephen's martyrdom, Christianity sped spread throughout. 887 01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:19,759 Speaker 6: The known world. 888 01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:22,160 Speaker 18: The power of martyrdom. 889 01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:25,599 Speaker 40: This is how God and Christ always advances his kingdom, 890 01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:28,360 Speaker 40: and he's doing it right now with Charlie Kirk. 891 01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,320 Speaker 18: It is a wonderful thing to see, we were all witness. 892 01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:37,280 Speaker 40: To a miracle. Charlie's life was a miracle. We could 893 01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:40,120 Speaker 40: all see it, those who worked up close and those 894 01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:45,920 Speaker 40: who watched from far away. We got to witness a 895 01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:53,320 Speaker 40: miracle in Charlie's life. Someone who was there that day 896 01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:56,960 Speaker 40: when Stephen was martyred was Saul. Saul was the one 897 01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:00,719 Speaker 40: who was taking the garments so that Stephen could be killed. 898 01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:05,559 Speaker 40: And through Stephen's martyrdom, the Apostle Paul was reached by 899 01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:08,880 Speaker 40: Christ to go out and write the majority of the 900 01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:09,599 Speaker 40: New Testament. 901 01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,000 Speaker 18: There is no one who is irredeemable. 902 01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:16,040 Speaker 40: And that is what Charlie would have wanted us to 903 01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:21,760 Speaker 40: know about his faith in Jesus Christ. The power of 904 01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:25,879 Speaker 40: Christ's blood and the power of martyrdom speaks through Charlie. 905 01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:29,040 Speaker 40: The Apostle Paul would go on to write the Book 906 01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:31,760 Speaker 40: of Romans, and I'd just like to close with this. 907 01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:36,920 Speaker 40: In Romans thirteen, the Apostle Paul talks about a godly 908 01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:41,120 Speaker 40: government instituted by our Lord and Savior. 909 01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:42,120 Speaker 18: And what does he describe. 910 01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:48,280 Speaker 40: The Apostle Paul describes how God establishes the rulers of 911 01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:52,960 Speaker 40: the nations. In the audience right now, there are rulers 912 01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:57,559 Speaker 40: of our land represented right here is the State Department, 913 01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:02,240 Speaker 40: the Department of War, the Department of Justice, the chief Executive. 914 01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:08,880 Speaker 40: God has instituted them. God has given them power over 915 01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:15,000 Speaker 40: our nation and our land. God saved our president, President Trump, 916 01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:17,880 Speaker 40: from an assassin's bullet for this moment. 917 01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:33,760 Speaker 41: And what. 918 01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:39,799 Speaker 40: Does the Apostle Paul and Romans say about godly leadership? 919 01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:44,520 Speaker 18: He says that rulers wield. 920 01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:45,120 Speaker 37: The sword. 921 01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:51,719 Speaker 18: For the protection of good men and for the terror 922 01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:53,880 Speaker 18: of evil men. 923 01:17:55,760 --> 01:18:00,840 Speaker 40: May we pray that our rulers, here rightfully andted and 924 01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:04,800 Speaker 40: given power by our God, wield the sword for the 925 01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:09,519 Speaker 40: terror of evil men in our nation. In Charlie's memory, 926 01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,479 Speaker 40: I want to live in a country where the evil 927 01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:28,120 Speaker 40: are terrified, and where the good and the faithful and 928 01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:31,320 Speaker 40: the moral people of our nation can live in peace, 929 01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:36,320 Speaker 40: debate in peace, disagree in peace, and start families in peace. 930 01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:40,439 Speaker 40: And so we want to thank the administration for being 931 01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:44,360 Speaker 40: here and carrying out that godly mission of wielding the 932 01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:46,519 Speaker 40: sword against evil. 933 01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:56,640 Speaker 18: In conclusion, I'd be remiss if I didn't say this 934 01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:58,120 Speaker 18: to all of the young men in the audience. And 935 01:18:58,160 --> 01:18:59,800 Speaker 18: I can see so many young men out there. Charlie 936 01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:03,000 Speaker 18: reached young men and women. But this is the advice 937 01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:03,920 Speaker 18: that Charlie gave me. 938 01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:12,320 Speaker 40: Center your life on Christ, fall in love, get married, 939 01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:17,840 Speaker 40: have a million kids, and live out your American dream. 940 01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:21,400 Speaker 18: And by doing that, we can create millions and millions 941 01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:26,519 Speaker 18: and millions of Charlie Kirk's and we can save our land. 942 01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:28,639 Speaker 18: That will be our turning point. 943 01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:42,280 Speaker 40: God bless you, and God bless Charlie Kirk. He's looking 944 01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:43,759 Speaker 40: down on us, smiling from heaven. 945 01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:46,080 Speaker 10: God bless you. 946 01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:56,559 Speaker 12: Thank you, pleas it, Doctor Ben Carson for a toaster, Charlie, 947 01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:00,479 Speaker 12: step up, down. We're going to roll through these speakers. 948 01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:03,880 Speaker 12: Think pretty quickly. These ones have been allocated about three minutes. 949 01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:14,200 Speaker 12: Let's go to the stage. Doctor pen Parson, thank you. 950 01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,640 Speaker 42: It's wonderful to see so many people out here for 951 01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:21,920 Speaker 42: such a sad but also a wonderful purpose. You know, 952 01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:26,680 Speaker 42: we at the American Cornersone Institute grieve with everyone as 953 01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:29,080 Speaker 42: we think about the loss of our friend and partner, 954 01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:35,479 Speaker 42: Charlie Kirk. But did you hear a political figure last 955 01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:40,880 Speaker 42: week saying that Charlie Kirk was ignorant because he didn't 956 01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:44,880 Speaker 42: have a college degree. I've seen him run circles around 957 01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:46,280 Speaker 42: people with college degrees. 958 01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:54,920 Speaker 37: Now, I wonder, I wonder if that. 959 01:20:55,080 --> 01:21:00,320 Speaker 42: Political figure realizes that most of learning in life comes 960 01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:04,559 Speaker 42: outside of the classroom. And I am delighted to see 961 01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:10,360 Speaker 42: the young people of our land merging with the older 962 01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:14,000 Speaker 42: people like me and moving in the same direction and 963 01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:17,840 Speaker 42: understanding that our nation was founded upon the kind of 964 01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:21,960 Speaker 42: principles that allowed us to rise from nothing to the 965 01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:26,240 Speaker 42: pinnacle of the world in record time. That was no accident. 966 01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:29,160 Speaker 42: That was because of what we believed, including our Judeo 967 01:21:29,320 --> 01:21:34,439 Speaker 42: Christian beliefs that our rights come from our creator and 968 01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:47,000 Speaker 42: not from government. Now, for many decades, there have been 969 01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:50,439 Speaker 42: people who are trying to fundamentally change who we are. 970 01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:56,000 Speaker 37: And there was a man by the name of Cleon. 971 01:21:56,160 --> 01:22:02,720 Speaker 42: Scausen who wrote a book called the Communists in the fifties, 972 01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:07,519 Speaker 42: and he exposed the things that were being done by 973 01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:12,000 Speaker 42: the Marxists to gain control of our country, such things 974 01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:16,040 Speaker 42: as gaining control of the public education system and the 975 01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:22,120 Speaker 42: teacher unions so that you could infiltrate and indoctrinate. 976 01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:22,479 Speaker 37: Our young people. 977 01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:23,559 Speaker 11: It was. 978 01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:30,880 Speaker 42: A radical leftist who said, give me your children to 979 01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:34,800 Speaker 42: teach for four years, and the seed that I sow 980 01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:36,280 Speaker 42: will never be uprooted. 981 01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:38,120 Speaker 37: That's why, that's what's going on. 982 01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:42,240 Speaker 42: They also had a goal of gaining control of the 983 01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:45,839 Speaker 42: media and Hollywood so they could change the culture in America, 984 01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:51,720 Speaker 42: making sexual perversion normal, natural and healthy, and speaking of that, 985 01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:58,720 Speaker 42: pushing God out of our society and changing the Gospel 986 01:22:59,000 --> 01:22:59,840 Speaker 42: to the social God. 987 01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:02,600 Speaker 37: Have you noticed that a lot of preachers. 988 01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:04,800 Speaker 42: Don't want to talk about what's in the Bible if 989 01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:10,720 Speaker 42: it's counter to the social Gospel.

God bless to all of you. 1158 01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:44,320 Speaker 47: God blessed to everyone, to Charlie's family, to all the families, 1159 01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:47,680 Speaker 47: and Charlie. 1160 01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:51,320 Speaker 18: Till we meet again. 1161 01:37:51,360 --> 01:38:01,360 Speaker 12: Brother Wow, Jack the Silvic incredible, incredible, one of Charlie's 1162 01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:07,719 Speaker 12: best friends, an individual was when Charlie was assassinated. Frank Turk, 1163 01:38:08,560 --> 01:38:11,000 Speaker 12: very close friend to Charlie's and one of his mentors. 1164 01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:13,560 Speaker 12: I'll take the stage momentarily. 1165 01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:21,680 Speaker 15: Please welcome to the stage. Frank Turek. 1166 01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:37,320 Speaker 21: Erica wanted me to share with you what happened after 1167 01:38:37,439 --> 01:38:42,679 Speaker 21: that shot rang out on September tenth. I was standing 1168 01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:45,240 Speaker 21: twenty five feet from my beloved friend. 1169 01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:46,040 Speaker 18: Just off his right. 1170 01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:48,280 Speaker 6: Why was I there? 1171 01:38:49,880 --> 01:38:53,920 Speaker 21: About five years ago, Charlie asked me if I would 1172 01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:59,719 Speaker 21: mentor him in the evidence for Christianity, because that's one. 1173 01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:00,400 Speaker 18: Of the things I do. 1174 01:39:01,479 --> 01:39:07,960 Speaker 21: Now, it's gonna be difficult to mentor someone smarter than you. However, 1175 01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:15,120 Speaker 21: the only thing that surpassed Charlie's intellect was his humility, 1176 01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:18,880 Speaker 21: and so the few things I knew that he did 1177 01:39:18,920 --> 01:39:22,120 Speaker 21: and he wanted me to share with him. When that 1178 01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:25,280 Speaker 21: shot rang out, I took a step toward him, but 1179 01:39:25,479 --> 01:39:32,719 Speaker 21: his security team was on him immediately, and so Charlie, 1180 01:39:33,560 --> 01:39:37,320 Speaker 21: being like a son to me, I ran toward the 1181 01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:42,160 Speaker 21: security team and we ran to the suv together. No 1182 01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:45,120 Speaker 21: father would stand back and go, no, you just take 1183 01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:45,800 Speaker 21: my son. 1184 01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:50,280 Speaker 18: Take them. I'll meet you at the hospital. I got 1185 01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:53,320 Speaker 18: into the back of the suv, and let me. 1186 01:39:53,360 --> 01:39:54,080 Speaker 39: Tell you something. 1187 01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:56,520 Speaker 18: His team was amazing. 1188 01:39:57,560 --> 01:40:02,599 Speaker 21: When this full invent investigation is done, I think you're 1189 01:40:02,680 --> 01:40:06,400 Speaker 21: gonna see that his team did everything they were. 1190 01:40:06,320 --> 01:40:07,040 Speaker 10: Supposed to do. 1191 01:40:08,240 --> 01:40:11,840 Speaker 21: In the car, Justin was driving, Dan was in the 1192 01:40:11,920 --> 01:40:13,280 Speaker 21: front with the GPS. 1193 01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:16,519 Speaker 18: Rick was to my left. 1194 01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:20,320 Speaker 21: He had Charlie's head, and Brian was at Charlie's feet. 1195 01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:22,840 Speaker 21: And Charlie's so big we couldn't even shut the door. 1196 01:40:23,400 --> 01:40:24,439 Speaker 6: He's so tall. 1197 01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:26,839 Speaker 18: And prepped. 1198 01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:32,720 Speaker 21: I'm perched over the back seat, and while they're administering 1199 01:40:33,439 --> 01:40:36,639 Speaker 21: all sorts of first DAID, apparently my skill, my job 1200 01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:39,960 Speaker 21: was to yell. I was doing a lot of yelling, 1201 01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:44,439 Speaker 21: and I want you to know that we did everything 1202 01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:50,599 Speaker 21: we could to save Charlie, but Charlie was already gone. 1203 01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:55,360 Speaker 21: His face was looking at mine, but he wasn't looking 1204 01:40:55,439 --> 01:40:59,080 Speaker 21: at me. He was looking past me, right into eternity. 1205 01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:03,479 Speaker 21: And if it's any comfort at all, I learned later 1206 01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:10,160 Speaker 21: that Charlie felt no pain. He died instantly, but we 1207 01:41:10,360 --> 01:41:14,360 Speaker 21: had to try and bring him back. We couldn't save him. Now, 1208 01:41:14,400 --> 01:41:16,800 Speaker 21: I want you to know that Charlie right now is 1209 01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:22,320 Speaker 21: in heaven, not because he was a great husband and father, 1210 01:41:23,240 --> 01:41:26,799 Speaker 21: not because he saved millions of kids out of darkness 1211 01:41:26,920 --> 01:41:33,400 Speaker 21: on college campuses, not because he changed minds and chased 1212 01:41:33,560 --> 01:41:38,920 Speaker 21: votes to save the country, not because he sacrificed himself 1213 01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:43,920 Speaker 21: for his savior. Charlie Kirk is in heaven because his 1214 01:41:44,080 --> 01:42:01,679 Speaker 21: savior sacrificed himself for Charlie Kirk. Now, look, there's only 1215 01:42:01,800 --> 01:42:05,040 Speaker 21: two things you can get in the afterlife. You can 1216 01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:09,719 Speaker 21: get justice or you can get grace. Ladies and gentlemen, 1217 01:42:09,760 --> 01:42:13,120 Speaker 21: does anyone in here, does anybody out there watching around 1218 01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:17,320 Speaker 21: the world want justice from an infinitely just being, I 1219 01:42:17,400 --> 01:42:21,320 Speaker 21: don't want justice, I want grace. Well, the only way 1220 01:42:21,400 --> 01:42:25,280 Speaker 21: to get grace for an infinitely just being is for 1221 01:42:25,479 --> 01:42:29,160 Speaker 21: him to punish an innocent substitute in our place. Where 1222 01:42:29,240 --> 01:42:31,360 Speaker 21: can he find an innocent substitute among us? 1223 01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:33,920 Speaker 6: He can't. We're all fallen. 1224 01:42:34,640 --> 01:42:38,240 Speaker 21: So what does this infinitely justin infinitely loving God do. 1225 01:42:39,800 --> 01:42:41,559 Speaker 18: He adds humanity to his deity. 1226 01:42:42,520 --> 01:42:46,720 Speaker 21: He comes to earth, He allows the creatures that rebelled 1227 01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:51,519 Speaker 21: against him to torture and kill him so he could 1228 01:42:51,600 --> 01:42:56,000 Speaker 21: place their punishment upon himself. And then by trusting in him, 1229 01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:59,679 Speaker 21: every one of us can be forgiven and then given 1230 01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:04,240 Speaker 21: his righteousness. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the greatest story 1231 01:43:04,360 --> 01:43:08,919 Speaker 21: ever told, and it happens to be true. There's evidence 1232 01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:18,160 Speaker 21: for this, and Charlie knew it. Watch his videos. Charlie 1233 01:43:18,280 --> 01:43:21,840 Speaker 21: knew that life wasn't just about money, It wasn't just 1234 01:43:21,960 --> 01:43:24,920 Speaker 21: about sex, It wasn't just about power, it wasn't just 1235 01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:29,400 Speaker 21: about prestige. He knew that the purpose of life is 1236 01:43:29,479 --> 01:43:32,720 Speaker 21: to know Jesus and to make him known, to make 1237 01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:46,400 Speaker 21: heaven crowded. Charlie's eyes were fixed on eternity. Where have 1238 01:43:46,479 --> 01:43:48,439 Speaker 21: your eyes been fixed? What have you been doing with 1239 01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:49,200 Speaker 21: your lives? 1240 01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:53,679 Speaker 37: What you been doing? 1241 01:43:55,520 --> 01:43:56,559 Speaker 18: What are you gonna do now? 1242 01:43:57,680 --> 01:44:01,080 Speaker 21: You know, in every evil God brings forth some ripples 1243 01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:05,200 Speaker 21: of good. In this case, he's bringing a tsunami of good. 1244 01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:13,840 Speaker 21: Look around, you're seeing it. And if you think a 1245 01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:22,000 Speaker 21: martyrdom is going to stop this movement, well we all 1246 01:44:22,120 --> 01:44:28,519 Speaker 21: know Charlie was inspirational, but Ericakirk is a force of nature. 1247 01:44:30,320 --> 01:44:37,000 Speaker 21: You're gonna see her later today. In fact, I know 1248 01:44:37,120 --> 01:44:40,400 Speaker 21: what's going on in the spiritual realm right now. Every 1249 01:44:40,640 --> 01:44:46,360 Speaker 21: morning Erica gets up, the devil shrieks, Oh no, she's 1250 01:44:46,479 --> 01:44:56,120 Speaker 21: awake again. And ladies and gentlemen, let's honor Jesus, let's 1251 01:44:56,320 --> 01:44:58,000 Speaker 21: honor Charlie. 1252 01:44:58,680 --> 01:44:59,240 Speaker 6: Let's ho. 1253 01:45:01,640 --> 01:45:06,799 Speaker 21: So that when we wake up every morning, the devil streaks, Oh. 1254 01:45:06,760 --> 01:45:08,799 Speaker 18: No, they're awake again. 1255 01:45:09,439 --> 01:45:10,599 Speaker 4: They're born again. 1256 01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:34,720 Speaker 12: We're gonna have the original musicians that were earlier. We're 1257 01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:38,439 Speaker 12: gonna have a short musical interlude and then a video 1258 01:45:38,560 --> 01:45:41,599 Speaker 12: at the life of Charlie Kirk. We're gonna go back 1259 01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:44,599 Speaker 12: to the main stage as they set up right now, 1260 01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:49,439 Speaker 12: incredibly moving so far post goes crazy. Let's go enjoy 1261 01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:49,880 Speaker 12: the music. 1262 01:46:12,240 --> 01:48:12,439 Speaker 50: There's hope in Jesus today, Amen, We're going to take 1263 01:48:12,439 --> 01:48:17,280 Speaker 50: another moment to honor Jesus and seeing what we heard 1264 01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:22,120 Speaker 50: this week is one of Charlie's favorite songs. This is 1265 01:48:22,200 --> 01:48:24,080 Speaker 50: what John One says about Jesus. 1266 01:48:26,080 --> 01:48:30,200 Speaker 51: In the beginning, the Word already existed. The Word was 1267 01:48:30,280 --> 01:48:34,120 Speaker 51: with God, and the Word was God. He existed in 1268 01:48:34,200 --> 01:48:38,560 Speaker 51: the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and 1269 01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:43,160 Speaker 51: nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life 1270 01:48:43,240 --> 01:48:46,439 Speaker 51: to everything that was created, and his life brought light 1271 01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:50,600 Speaker 51: to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the 1272 01:48:50,720 --> 01:48:56,000 Speaker 51: darkness can never extinguish it. He came into the very 1273 01:48:56,120 --> 01:49:00,200 Speaker 51: world he created, but the world didn't recognize him. Came 1274 01:49:00,280 --> 01:49:03,479 Speaker 51: to his own people, and even they rejected him. But 1275 01:49:03,680 --> 01:49:07,320 Speaker 51: to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave 1276 01:49:07,439 --> 01:49:12,559 Speaker 51: the right to become children of God. They are reborn, 1277 01:49:13,439 --> 01:49:16,800 Speaker 51: not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, 1278 01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:19,040 Speaker 51: but a birth that comes from God. 1279 01:49:20,080 --> 01:49:23,200 Speaker 18: So the Word became human and made his home among us. 1280 01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:27,320 Speaker 51: He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness, And we 1281 01:49:27,439 --> 01:49:29,919 Speaker 51: have seen his glory and the glory of the Father's 1282 01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:33,680 Speaker 51: one and only son. From his abundance, we have all 1283 01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:36,960 Speaker 51: received one gracious blessing after another. 1284 01:49:37,880 --> 01:49:39,599 Speaker 18: For the law was given through Moses. 1285 01:49:39,720 --> 01:49:44,799 Speaker 51: But God's unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. 1286 01:49:45,880 --> 01:49:48,360 Speaker 51: No one has ever seen God, but the unique one, 1287 01:49:48,439 --> 01:49:51,720 Speaker 51: who is himself God is near to the father's heart. 1288 01:49:52,520 --> 01:49:54,160 Speaker 18: He has revealed God to us. 1289 01:49:55,760 --> 01:49:56,360 Speaker 37: We pray with me. 1290 01:49:58,320 --> 01:50:01,679 Speaker 18: Jesus, you are the Way. You are the Truth. 1291 01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:06,759 Speaker 51: You are the Life, the only Way, the only truth, 1292 01:50:07,120 --> 01:50:10,479 Speaker 51: the only life. You are the bright morning star that 1293 01:50:10,560 --> 01:50:13,680 Speaker 51: shines in the darkness. You are the living water to 1294 01:50:13,800 --> 01:50:18,000 Speaker 51: a dry, thirsty soul, you say in Revelation twenty two. Look, 1295 01:50:18,160 --> 01:50:21,639 Speaker 51: I Am coming soon. Let anyone who is thirsty come. 1296 01:50:22,120 --> 01:50:25,880 Speaker 51: Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life, 1297 01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:28,920 Speaker 51: you say in Romans ten. Everyone who calls on the 1298 01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:31,679 Speaker 51: name of the Lord will be saved. If we declare 1299 01:50:31,720 --> 01:50:34,000 Speaker 51: with our mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in 1300 01:50:34,080 --> 01:50:36,400 Speaker 51: our heart that God raised him from the dead, we 1301 01:50:36,520 --> 01:50:40,439 Speaker 51: will be saved. Jesus Christ died on a cross, was 1302 01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:52,679 Speaker 51: risen on the third day, and is coming again soon.

As someone who was generally conservative, I 1384 02:00:10,720 --> 02:00:13,920 Speaker 35: realized this generation millennials is going to be the most 1385 02:00:14,040 --> 02:00:16,600 Speaker 35: progressive generation in history if we don't do something about this. 1386 02:00:17,120 --> 02:00:19,920 Speaker 35: We're active in about fifteen campuses and we're growing very, 1387 02:00:20,000 --> 02:00:21,800 Speaker 35: very quickly. And keep in mind, this is not just 1388 02:00:21,880 --> 02:00:23,800 Speaker 35: the flash of the Pan movement. We're going to become 1389 02:00:23,840 --> 02:00:26,760 Speaker 35: an institution to give them the power and the confidence 1390 02:00:26,800 --> 02:00:28,920 Speaker 35: to stand up and let their voice be heard. I 1391 02:00:29,080 --> 02:00:32,320 Speaker 35: was eighteen, no idea what I was doing, no connections, 1392 02:00:32,400 --> 02:00:36,800 Speaker 35: no money, unlimited energy, enthusiasm, and I actually thought this 1393 02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:40,120 Speaker 35: was possible, which was kind of crazy you think about it. 1394 02:00:40,440 --> 02:00:42,240 Speaker 35: Bill was one of the first people to believe in 1395 02:00:42,360 --> 02:00:44,600 Speaker 35: US at Turning Point USA, and believe in me. After 1396 02:00:44,600 --> 02:00:46,440 Speaker 35: you heard me speak, he said, you can't go to college. 1397 02:00:46,440 --> 02:00:49,600 Speaker 35: I said, who are you exactly? He said, whatever you're doing, 1398 02:00:50,040 --> 02:00:51,480 Speaker 35: it's going to be bigger. He said, you're going to 1399 02:00:51,520 --> 02:00:53,320 Speaker 35: start a youth organization that's going to touch the whole 1400 02:00:53,440 --> 02:00:54,080 Speaker 35: world on fire. 1401 02:00:55,080 --> 02:00:59,200 Speaker 58: Only in America can a young man with a dream 1402 02:01:00,680 --> 02:01:01,560 Speaker 58: change the world. 1403 02:01:03,280 --> 02:01:05,720 Speaker 35: So starting in that garage and La Mont Illinois that 1404 02:01:06,000 --> 02:01:08,240 Speaker 35: Bill had for us at two seventeen and a half 1405 02:01:08,280 --> 02:01:12,400 Speaker 35: Illinois Street, and growing from that forward was a battle. 1406 02:01:12,480 --> 02:01:15,200 Speaker 35: So the first year he raised twenty thousand dollars, which 1407 02:01:15,600 --> 02:01:18,440 Speaker 35: at the time was the unbelievable amount of money. Right, 1408 02:01:18,760 --> 02:01:20,600 Speaker 35: we didn't have an office, we didn't have a staff. 1409 02:01:20,640 --> 02:01:22,400 Speaker 35: It was just me just traveling the country doing this 1410 02:01:22,480 --> 02:01:24,880 Speaker 35: pure grit, peer energy. And I was driven by core 1411 02:01:24,960 --> 02:01:28,120 Speaker 35: ideas and core principles that we should be thankful, not 1412 02:01:28,240 --> 02:01:29,920 Speaker 35: angry to live in this country. Would you agree? 1413 02:01:29,960 --> 02:01:31,680 Speaker 26: Wh should be thankful, should be kistened the ground. 1414 02:01:31,720 --> 02:01:34,160 Speaker 35: And it's like we are the luckiest human beings ever 1415 02:01:34,320 --> 02:01:36,120 Speaker 35: to exist, that we are able to live in this 1416 02:01:36,280 --> 02:01:40,040 Speaker 35: country at this time, America is the greatest country ever 1417 02:01:40,160 --> 02:01:42,360 Speaker 35: to exist, period, bar none is the greatest country ever 1418 02:01:42,480 --> 02:01:42,920 Speaker 35: to exist. 1419 02:01:43,040 --> 02:01:51,720 Speaker 59: Right, he loved debate because he loved the truth and 1420 02:01:51,840 --> 02:01:55,160 Speaker 59: the people on the other side of the table because 1421 02:01:55,320 --> 02:01:57,800 Speaker 59: they all were made in God's image. 1422 02:01:58,840 --> 02:02:00,840 Speaker 35: So I go to college camp and there's a lot 1423 02:02:00,880 --> 02:02:03,040 Speaker 35: of error. We're all sinners, we all live in error. 1424 02:02:03,400 --> 02:02:06,400 Speaker 35: We as Christians, are called to go into the public 1425 02:02:06,440 --> 02:02:11,080 Speaker 35: arena to correct error with truth. I'm far more interested 1426 02:02:11,200 --> 02:02:13,480 Speaker 35: in what God wants of me than what I want 1427 02:02:13,720 --> 02:02:16,160 Speaker 35: from God. I have the greatest job in the world. 1428 02:02:16,240 --> 02:02:18,720 Speaker 35: I couldn't be happier every day. I feel as if 1429 02:02:18,760 --> 02:02:20,800 Speaker 35: what I'm saying, what I'm doing, is making a difference 1430 02:02:21,040 --> 02:02:21,920 Speaker 35: to be perfect honest. 1431 02:02:21,960 --> 02:02:25,000 Speaker 15: I love the debate. I love the exploration of ideas. 1432 02:02:25,080 --> 02:02:27,920 Speaker 26: I think dialogue is a gift given to us by God. 1433 02:02:28,240 --> 02:02:28,960 Speaker 18: Prove me wrong. 1434 02:02:29,080 --> 02:02:31,800 Speaker 35: I have no notes, I have no ai I have nothing. 1435 02:02:32,200 --> 02:02:35,520 Speaker 35: Tell me why you're correct. For three hours, I will 1436 02:02:35,560 --> 02:02:38,560 Speaker 35: sit there and everyone will watch. It's a gladiatorial match 1437 02:02:38,720 --> 02:02:40,120 Speaker 35: for the best ideas of the West. 1438 02:02:41,680 --> 02:02:45,520 Speaker 58: And their needs changed him, and he changed them. 1439 02:02:46,160 --> 02:02:48,200 Speaker 18: Do you see you're being called upon to be a leader. 1440 02:02:48,280 --> 02:02:51,920 Speaker 15: Let's say that's not merely political. That's why my understanding 1441 02:02:51,960 --> 02:02:52,640 Speaker 15: of it correct. 1442 02:02:52,760 --> 02:02:57,680 Speaker 35: It's an enormous responsibility, enormous I also need to balance, 1443 02:02:57,880 --> 02:03:00,240 Speaker 35: as christ would say, being as much truth, which of 1444 02:03:00,280 --> 02:03:03,320 Speaker 35: course I'm inclined towards, as love. What is God's plan 1445 02:03:03,360 --> 02:03:05,040 Speaker 35: when I go on to college campus.

But he went out anyway for America. 1450 02:03:18,120 --> 02:03:18,560 Speaker 35: For you. 1451 02:03:20,240 --> 02:03:21,360 Speaker 26: Or any point will live longer than me. 1452 02:03:21,400 --> 02:03:22,000 Speaker 12: That's my mission. 1453 02:03:23,320 --> 02:03:25,600 Speaker 58: He carried his love for the nation in his hand, 1454 02:03:26,480 --> 02:03:28,920 Speaker 58: and in the other he carried us. 1455 02:03:29,680 --> 02:03:31,880 Speaker 43: You have worked so hard, and I know a lot 1456 02:03:31,920 --> 02:03:35,400 Speaker 43: of you have seen obviously his video is on TikTok 1457 02:03:35,480 --> 02:03:38,080 Speaker 43: and all the stuff he does on campus, But no 1458 02:03:38,160 --> 02:03:41,880 Speaker 43: one gets to see him from my angle except for 1459 02:03:41,960 --> 02:03:43,200 Speaker 43: myself and our children. 1460 02:03:44,160 --> 02:03:46,880 Speaker 28: And the sacrifice is that he made this year. 1461 02:03:49,040 --> 02:03:49,760 Speaker 12: He's amazing. 1462 02:03:49,920 --> 02:03:52,120 Speaker 35: I'm very blessed, and I would not have been able 1463 02:03:52,160 --> 02:03:55,160 Speaker 35: to do any of it without Erica.

Charlie knew 1555 02:10:47,560 --> 02:10:51,040 Speaker 62: this fight was bigger than politics. Charlie was more than 1556 02:10:51,080 --> 02:10:56,440 Speaker 62: an activist. Charlie was a modern day disciple who preached 1557 02:10:56,480 --> 02:10:59,840 Speaker 62: about the greatness of America, not just across our. 1558 02:10:59,800 --> 02:11:01,560 Speaker 39: Land, but around the globe. 1559 02:11:02,960 --> 02:11:05,880 Speaker 62: Charlie knew that we are in a spiritual war for 1560 02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:10,240 Speaker 62: the heart, soul, and future of America, and he was 1561 02:11:10,320 --> 02:11:14,240 Speaker 62: ultimately killed because of it.

No matter what, Charlie always marched forward. He 1575 02:12:04,840 --> 02:12:11,280 Speaker 62: embodied the Maga warrior, never backing down. Charlie was all Trump. 1576 02:12:12,640 --> 02:12:15,880 Speaker 62: When the President had an idea, no matter how big 1577 02:12:16,040 --> 02:12:19,720 Speaker 62: it was, Charlie was always willing to make it happen. 1578 02:12:21,240 --> 02:12:25,880 Speaker 62: One time, on a trip to Louisiana, Charlie forced the 1579 02:12:25,920 --> 02:12:28,440 Speaker 62: group to leave early and fly to New York City. 1580 02:12:29,680 --> 02:12:32,560 Speaker 62: He had to rush and get to Fox News for 1581 02:12:32,680 --> 02:12:36,400 Speaker 62: an interview with Judge Jeanine.

Our ancestors built the cities, 1628 02:17:14,680 --> 02:17:18,800 Speaker 7: they produced the art and architecture, they built the industry. 1629 02:17:20,320 --> 02:17:25,000 Speaker 7: Erica stands on the shoulders of thousands of years of warriors, 1630 02:17:25,680 --> 02:17:29,440 Speaker 7: of women who raised up families, raised up city, raised 1631 02:17:29,520 --> 02:17:34,760 Speaker 7: up industry, raised up civilization, who pulled us out of 1632 02:17:34,879 --> 02:17:37,320 Speaker 7: the caves and the darkness into the light. 1633 02:17:38,400 --> 02:17:40,360 Speaker 18: The light will defeat the dark. 1634 02:17:41,480 --> 02:17:45,600 Speaker 7: We will prevail over the forces of wickedness and evil. 1635 02:17:46,560 --> 02:17:51,560 Speaker 7: They cannot imagine what they have awakened they cannot conceive 1636 02:17:52,120 --> 02:17:55,280 Speaker 7: of the army that they have arisen in all. 1637 02:17:55,240 --> 02:18:00,800 Speaker 18: Of us, because we stand for what is good, what virtuous, 1638 02:18:01,000 --> 02:18:01,760 Speaker 18: what is noble. 1639 02:18:02,520 --> 02:18:06,360 Speaker 7: And to those trying to incite violence against us, those 1640 02:18:06,440 --> 02:18:09,480 Speaker 7: trying to foment hatred against us, what do you have? 1641 02:18:11,080 --> 02:18:13,560 Speaker 18: You have nothing? You are nothing. 1642 02:18:14,360 --> 02:18:17,760 Speaker 7: You are wickedness, you are jealousy, you are envy, you 1643 02:18:17,920 --> 02:18:18,640 Speaker 7: are hatred. 1644 02:18:19,680 --> 02:18:20,520 Speaker 18: You are nothing. 1645 02:18:20,879 --> 02:18:25,039 Speaker 7: You can build nothing, you can produce nothing, you can 1646 02:18:25,160 --> 02:18:29,600 Speaker 7: create nothing. We are the ones who build. We are 1647 02:18:29,640 --> 02:18:33,120 Speaker 7: the ones who create. We are the ones who lift 1648 02:18:33,240 --> 02:18:39,560 Speaker 7: up humanity. You thought you could kill Charlie Kirk. You 1649 02:18:39,720 --> 02:18:43,920 Speaker 7: have made him a mortal. You have immortalized Charlie Kirk, 1650 02:18:44,480 --> 02:18:49,640 Speaker 7: and now millions will carry on his legacy, and we 1651 02:18:49,800 --> 02:18:55,680 Speaker 7: will devote the rest of our lives to finishing the 1652 02:18:55,800 --> 02:18:59,280 Speaker 7: causes for which Charlie gave his last measure of devotion. 1653 02:19:01,120 --> 02:19:04,000 Speaker 7: You cannot defeat us. You cannot slow us, you cannot 1654 02:19:04,040 --> 02:19:06,080 Speaker 7: stop us, you cannot deter us. 1655 02:19:06,920 --> 02:19:09,080 Speaker 18: We will carry Charlie and Erica. 1656 02:19:08,920 --> 02:19:12,560 Speaker 7: In our heart every single day and fight that much 1657 02:19:12,680 --> 02:19:16,880 Speaker 7: harder because of what you did to us. You have 1658 02:19:17,040 --> 02:19:20,960 Speaker 7: no idea the dragon you have awakened. You have no 1659 02:19:21,240 --> 02:19:25,760 Speaker 7: idea how determined we will be to save this civilization, 1660 02:19:26,400 --> 02:19:32,360 Speaker 7: to save the West, to save this republic, because our 1661 02:19:32,560 --> 02:19:36,440 Speaker 7: children are strong, and our grandchildren will be strong, and 1662 02:19:36,560 --> 02:19:39,000 Speaker 7: our children's children's children will be strong. 1663 02:19:39,560 --> 02:19:44,840 Speaker 18: And what will you leave behind? Nothing? Nothing to our enemies. 1664 02:19:45,040 --> 02:19:47,400 Speaker 18: You have nothing to give, You have nothing to offer, 1665 02:19:47,520 --> 02:19:49,840 Speaker 18: You have nothing to share but bitterness. 1666 02:19:50,520 --> 02:19:53,760 Speaker 7: We have beauty, we have light, we have goodness, we 1667 02:19:53,920 --> 02:19:58,360 Speaker 7: have determination, we have vision, we have strength. We built 1668 02:19:58,440 --> 02:20:03,160 Speaker 7: the world that we inhabit now, generation by generation, and 1669 02:20:03,320 --> 02:20:06,480 Speaker 7: we will defend this world. We will defend goodness, we 1670 02:20:06,520 --> 02:20:10,840 Speaker 7: will defend light, we will defend virtue.

God bless our heroes, and God bless the 1687 02:21:21,480 --> 02:21:22,680 Speaker 7: United States of America. 1688 02:21:22,840 --> 02:21:27,040 Speaker 17: Thank you, Stephen Miller. 1689 02:21:27,160 --> 02:21:30,080 Speaker 12: Right there, as the Allys does thrown down pure fire. 1690 02:21:31,040 --> 02:21:33,680 Speaker 12: This audience is now jacked. As a president the chief 1691 02:21:33,720 --> 02:21:35,520 Speaker 12: of staff of the White House, very close to Charlie. 1692 02:21:35,520 --> 02:21:40,199 Speaker 15: Susie wives, Welcome to the stage, Susie Wilds. 1693 02:21:57,040 --> 02:22:00,040 Speaker 19: Good afternoon, and what an honor to be here with 1694 02:22:00,160 --> 02:22:04,160 Speaker 19: all of you, those of you who loved Charlie and 1695 02:22:04,320 --> 02:22:08,320 Speaker 19: love Erica. I was blessed to work with Charlie these 1696 02:22:08,360 --> 02:22:11,840 Speaker 19: past few years, and I know he is looking down 1697 02:22:12,000 --> 02:22:17,360 Speaker 19: now rejoicing because his life, his words, his courage to 1698 02:22:17,440 --> 02:22:22,000 Speaker 19: speak the truth about God, family, and country built the 1699 02:22:22,240 --> 02:22:33,520 Speaker 19: most powerful youth movement in our time. Many of you 1700 02:22:33,680 --> 02:22:36,240 Speaker 19: knew Charlie better than I did, and if you did, 1701 02:22:37,120 --> 02:22:41,039 Speaker 19: you experienced the gift of being lifted by his conviction 1702 02:22:41,440 --> 02:22:46,879 Speaker 19: and his joy. For Charlie, making America great again meant 1703 02:22:47,160 --> 02:22:50,800 Speaker 19: bringing young people to this movement and making sure they 1704 02:22:50,920 --> 02:22:55,920 Speaker 19: knew they belonged. Like our President says, it's a movement 1705 02:22:56,480 --> 02:23:00,840 Speaker 19: of common sense, and it makes sense. Love your God, 1706 02:23:01,720 --> 02:23:06,040 Speaker 19: love your family, love your country, and help the next 1707 02:23:06,160 --> 02:23:13,680 Speaker 19: generation live into those values boldly. Through Turning Point, Charlie 1708 02:23:13,760 --> 02:23:18,520 Speaker 19: gave us countless young Americans who had their first turning point, 1709 02:23:18,600 --> 02:23:21,920 Speaker 19: the moment they decided to stand up, speak out, and 1710 02:23:22,080 --> 02:23:26,359 Speaker 19: make America all that she could be. When the President's 1711 02:23:26,400 --> 02:23:30,320 Speaker 19: twenty twenty four campaign partnered with Turning Point, Charlie did 1712 02:23:30,400 --> 02:23:36,760 Speaker 19: not just promise, he delivered. Charlie and his team embraced 1713 02:23:36,840 --> 02:23:41,519 Speaker 19: the assigned mission completely, and they didn't meet expectations. 1714 02:23:42,160 --> 02:23:45,520 Speaker 28: They shuddered, shattered them, and blew them out. 1715 02:23:45,440 --> 02:23:46,080 Speaker 3: Of the water. 1716 02:23:46,959 --> 02:23:51,080 Speaker 19: President Trump's victory winning the popular vote in every swing 1717 02:23:51,200 --> 02:23:55,840 Speaker 19: state was powered by young people, most brand new to politics. 1718 02:23:56,560 --> 02:24:00,840 Speaker 19: That was Charlie's army, and he made sure they understood 1719 02:24:00,840 --> 02:24:14,040 Speaker 19: the stakes. They outworked, they out hustled, and outperformed everyone else. 1720 02:24:14,640 --> 02:24:19,320 Speaker 19: Charlie just didn't help. He made the winning difference. I 1721 02:24:19,480 --> 02:24:26,360 Speaker 19: promised you that, and I believe Charlie is still urging 1722 02:24:26,480 --> 02:24:28,920 Speaker 19: us on, urging us not to sit back, not to 1723 02:24:29,000 --> 02:24:34,039 Speaker 19: be quiet, but to carry on his mission forward loudly, proudly, 1724 02:24:34,400 --> 02:24:39,440 Speaker 19: and with the same conviction he showed. So I ask 1725 02:24:39,560 --> 02:24:43,520 Speaker 19: you let us honor Charlie in the best way possible 1726 02:24:44,080 --> 02:24:48,119 Speaker 19: by continuing his work, by building on the foundation he laid, 1727 02:24:49,360 --> 02:24:54,320 Speaker 19: and by making sure this generation knows that this movement 1728 02:24:54,720 --> 02:25:00,480 Speaker 19: is their home. May God bless Erica and their beautiful children, 1729 02:25:01,720 --> 02:25:04,000 Speaker 19: and may He hold them in the palm of his 1730 02:25:04,160 --> 02:25:04,959 Speaker 19: hands always. 1731 02:25:13,680 --> 02:25:14,000 Speaker 63: Okay. 1732 02:25:14,760 --> 02:25:18,600 Speaker 12: The next is the great Tucker Carlson, one of Charlie's mentors. 1733 02:25:21,520 --> 02:25:25,160 Speaker 12: Maybe a little controversy about Tucker and Charlie the week ahead, 1734 02:25:25,200 --> 02:25:25,840 Speaker 12: two weeks ahead. 1735 02:25:25,879 --> 02:25:43,840 Speaker 64: Well we'll get to that then, Tucker Carlson, Ladies and gentlemen, 1736 02:25:44,120 --> 02:25:45,080 Speaker 64: Tucker Carlson. 1737 02:25:47,760 --> 02:25:59,720 Speaker 63: M Oh, that made me emotional. Made me emotional to 1738 02:25:59,720 --> 02:26:00,000 Speaker 63: see that. 1739 02:26:01,480 --> 02:26:04,200 Speaker 65: Susie Wilds had tears in her eyes, ah, which you 1740 02:26:04,640 --> 02:26:06,760 Speaker 65: don't often see in politics. 1741 02:26:06,800 --> 02:26:07,320 Speaker 18: But it's real. 1742 02:26:07,400 --> 02:26:10,160 Speaker 63: This is the most unbelievable thing I think I've ever seen. 1743 02:26:11,360 --> 02:26:12,039 Speaker 41: And I don't. 1744 02:26:14,240 --> 02:26:18,720 Speaker 65: Whatever happens next in America, I hope it's in this direction, 1745 02:26:18,959 --> 02:26:22,280 Speaker 65: because God is here and you can feel it. And 1746 02:26:22,440 --> 02:26:25,600 Speaker 65: Charlie would have loved this, not just because he loved 1747 02:26:25,680 --> 02:26:28,520 Speaker 65: large groups of people, but because ultimately he was a 1748 02:26:28,640 --> 02:26:32,360 Speaker 65: Christian evangelist. And it actually reminds me of my favorite 1749 02:26:32,400 --> 02:26:36,440 Speaker 65: story ever. So it's about two thousand years ago in 1750 02:26:36,560 --> 02:26:41,360 Speaker 65: Jerusalem and Jesus shows up and he starts talking about 1751 02:26:41,400 --> 02:26:45,600 Speaker 65: the people in power, and he starts doing the worst 1752 02:26:45,640 --> 02:26:47,199 Speaker 65: thing that you can do, which is telling the truth 1753 02:26:47,360 --> 02:26:51,040 Speaker 65: about people, and they hate it, and they just go bonkers. 1754 02:26:51,080 --> 02:26:53,840 Speaker 65: They hate it, and they become obsessed with making him stop. 1755 02:26:53,959 --> 02:26:56,680 Speaker 65: This guy's got to stop talking. We've got to shut 1756 02:26:56,720 --> 02:26:59,400 Speaker 65: this guy up. And I can just sort of picture 1757 02:26:59,440 --> 02:27:01,360 Speaker 65: the scene in a lamp lit room with a bunch 1758 02:27:01,400 --> 02:27:03,640 Speaker 65: of guys sitting around eating hummus, thinking. 1759 02:27:03,440 --> 02:27:06,560 Speaker 63: About what do we do about this guy telling the 1760 02:27:06,640 --> 02:27:07,520 Speaker 63: truth about us? 1761 02:27:07,840 --> 02:27:09,720 Speaker 18: We must make him stop talking. 1762 02:27:11,200 --> 02:27:13,240 Speaker 65: And there's always one guy with the bright idea, and 1763 02:27:13,240 --> 02:27:14,760 Speaker 65: I could just hear him say I've got a idea. 1764 02:27:14,760 --> 02:27:15,680 Speaker 17: Why don't we just kill him. 1765 02:27:16,959 --> 02:27:26,360 Speaker 65: That'll shut him up, that'll fix the problem. It doesn't 1766 02:27:26,440 --> 02:27:31,040 Speaker 65: work that way. It doesn't work that way. Everything is inverted, 1767 02:27:31,160 --> 02:27:33,920 Speaker 65: and the beatitudes tell it. I think the most crisp 1768 02:27:33,920 --> 02:27:35,920 Speaker 65: believe everything is sort of the opposite of what you think. 1769 02:27:35,959 --> 02:27:38,960 Speaker 65: It's going to be blessed are those who mourn for 1770 02:27:39,040 --> 02:27:41,320 Speaker 65: they will be comforted. That is true, and you can 1771 02:27:41,400 --> 02:27:44,879 Speaker 65: feel it here. The thing about Charlie's message, I've thought 1772 02:27:44,920 --> 02:27:46,800 Speaker 65: a lot about it, and I'm trying not to be 1773 02:27:47,000 --> 02:27:50,000 Speaker 65: emotional because, in addition everything else, he was a wonderful 1774 02:27:50,040 --> 02:27:51,879 Speaker 65: man and a decent man, and one of those rare 1775 02:27:51,959 --> 02:27:54,320 Speaker 65: people you meet who you just groove with in conversation 1776 02:27:54,520 --> 02:27:57,320 Speaker 65: and have these very intense conversations that you don't stop 1777 02:27:57,440 --> 02:28:00,400 Speaker 65: thinking about, which is my experience with him. The main 1778 02:28:00,520 --> 02:28:04,640 Speaker 65: thing about Charlie and his message, he was bringing the 1779 02:28:04,800 --> 02:28:08,760 Speaker 65: Gospel to the country. He was doing the thing that 1780 02:28:08,879 --> 02:28:12,560 Speaker 65: the people in charge hate most, which is calling for 1781 02:28:12,720 --> 02:28:13,680 Speaker 65: them to repent. 1782 02:28:15,480 --> 02:28:18,199 Speaker 63: So how is Charlie's message different? 1783 02:28:18,280 --> 02:28:23,000 Speaker 65: And Charlie was a political person who was deeply interested 1784 02:28:23,160 --> 02:28:25,760 Speaker 65: in coalition building and and getting the right people in 1785 02:28:25,959 --> 02:28:31,240 Speaker 65: office because he knew that vast improvements are possible politically. 1786 02:28:31,360 --> 02:28:35,279 Speaker 65: But he also knew that politics is not the final answer. 1787 02:28:35,360 --> 02:28:39,840 Speaker 65: It can't answer the deepest questions. Actually, that the only 1788 02:28:40,360 --> 02:28:47,440 Speaker 65: real solution is Jesus. And the reason it's really simple. 1789 02:28:48,760 --> 02:28:53,960 Speaker 65: Politics at its core is a process of critiquing other 1790 02:28:54,120 --> 02:28:59,240 Speaker 65: people and getting them to change Christianity. The gospel message, 1791 02:28:59,280 --> 02:29:02,400 Speaker 65: the message of g Jesus, begins with repentance. 1792 02:29:04,120 --> 02:29:07,760 Speaker 63: Christianity calls upon you to change. 1793 02:29:09,760 --> 02:29:13,800 Speaker 65: Our core prayer given to us by Jesus, the Lord's Prayer, 1794 02:29:16,000 --> 02:29:20,280 Speaker 65: demands that we forgive other people. But preceding that is 1795 02:29:20,320 --> 02:29:23,800 Speaker 65: a request for our forgiveness, in other words, forgive us 1796 02:29:24,000 --> 02:29:26,760 Speaker 65: our sins, meditate on what we've done wrong, how we've 1797 02:29:26,840 --> 02:29:30,760 Speaker 65: fallen short, and then it becomes possible to forgive other people. 1798 02:29:32,840 --> 02:29:36,320 Speaker 65: That is a call to change our hearts from Jesus, 1799 02:29:36,480 --> 02:29:39,720 Speaker 65: and that is the only way forward in this country. 1800 02:29:39,760 --> 02:29:42,000 Speaker 65: That is the only solution to where we all know 1801 02:29:42,080 --> 02:29:45,840 Speaker 65: we're going. And Charlie knew where we were going without that. 1802 02:29:46,840 --> 02:29:48,959 Speaker 65: And that is not a call for being politically passive, 1803 02:29:49,080 --> 02:29:52,440 Speaker 65: of course not. I stood in many stages with Charlie 1804 02:29:52,480 --> 02:29:54,640 Speaker 65: calling for various people to be elected, particularly Donald Trump, 1805 02:29:55,400 --> 02:29:58,640 Speaker 65: and I'm proud of that. It's only an acknowledgment that 1806 02:29:58,720 --> 02:30:02,560 Speaker 65: what Charlie was really saying is that change begins, the 1807 02:30:02,680 --> 02:30:07,160 Speaker 65: only change that matters. When we repent of our sins, 1808 02:30:08,760 --> 02:30:13,280 Speaker 65: we meet a recognition that the real problem is me 1809 02:30:14,000 --> 02:30:18,680 Speaker 65: and how fallen, I am, and that was the reason 1810 02:30:19,400 --> 02:30:23,200 Speaker 65: that Charlie was fearless at all times, truly fearless to 1811 02:30:23,360 --> 02:30:27,840 Speaker 65: his last moment. He was unafraid, he was not defensive, 1812 02:30:28,120 --> 02:30:31,120 Speaker 65: and there was no hate in his heart. I know 1813 02:30:31,240 --> 02:30:33,160 Speaker 65: that because I've got a little hate compartment in my heart, 1814 02:30:33,879 --> 02:30:36,840 Speaker 65: and I would often express that to Charlie about various people, 1815 02:30:36,959 --> 02:30:40,960 Speaker 65: and he would always say, always say, that's a sad person, 1816 02:30:41,040 --> 02:30:43,280 Speaker 65: that's a broken person. That's a person who needs help, 1817 02:30:43,560 --> 02:30:46,920 Speaker 65: that's a person who needs Jesus. He said that in 1818 02:30:47,040 --> 02:30:52,320 Speaker 65: private because he meant it, so I guess I would 1819 02:30:52,400 --> 02:30:55,720 Speaker 65: just say, this gathering in God's presence, God's very obvious 1820 02:30:55,800 --> 02:30:58,480 Speaker 65: presence in this room, the presence of Jesus is a 1821 02:30:58,680 --> 02:31:03,680 Speaker 65: reminder of what we've known for two thousand years, which 1822 02:31:03,760 --> 02:31:07,600 Speaker 65: is any attempt to extinguish the light causes it to 1823 02:31:07,720 --> 02:31:11,039 Speaker 65: burn brighter every single time. 1824 02:31:14,640 --> 02:31:15,400 Speaker 6: So as we. 1825 02:31:18,080 --> 02:31:23,119 Speaker 65: As we proceed into whatever comes next, and clearly something's 1826 02:31:23,160 --> 02:31:26,680 Speaker 65: coming next, remember this moment. 1827 02:31:26,840 --> 02:31:28,320 Speaker 18: Remember being in a room. 1828 02:31:28,640 --> 02:31:31,480 Speaker 63: With the Holy Spirit humming like a tuning fork. 1829 02:31:33,840 --> 02:31:37,200 Speaker 65: This is the way right here, this is the way, 1830 02:31:38,160 --> 02:31:40,760 Speaker 65: And that is what Charlie Kirk was saying underneath it all. 1831 02:31:40,959 --> 02:31:42,560 Speaker 63: Thank you and God bless. 1832 02:31:46,280 --> 02:31:51,080 Speaker 12: Talker Carlson, Jack Pasovic, and Stephen Miller. I'm very proud 1833 02:31:51,120 --> 02:31:55,360 Speaker 12: of those glads. They just brought entire fire. I think 1834 02:31:55,560 --> 02:31:57,680 Speaker 12: we're going to have We are running behind. I think 1835 02:31:57,720 --> 02:32:02,760 Speaker 12: almost running an hour behind. From that, I think we're 1836 02:32:02,800 --> 02:32:04,760 Speaker 12: running at least forty five minutes, maybe an hour behind. 1837 02:32:04,879 --> 02:32:05,480 Speaker 25: There's supposed to. 1838 02:32:05,440 --> 02:32:08,119 Speaker 12: Be a short buffer here. We're gonna bring in some folks, 1839 02:32:08,680 --> 02:32:10,440 Speaker 12: but I'm not so sure it's gonna be that one. 1840 02:32:10,680 --> 02:32:13,640 Speaker 12: The next we're gonna pivot next to some of the 1841 02:32:13,720 --> 02:32:19,240 Speaker 12: cabinet officials. We're gonna pivot to Tulcy Gabbard, the head 1842 02:32:19,360 --> 02:32:22,320 Speaker 12: d and I, the head of our intelligence services. We're 1843 02:32:22,360 --> 02:32:25,480 Speaker 12: gonna have Pete haiks At, the Secretary of War, Marco Ruby, 1844 02:32:25,600 --> 02:32:29,760 Speaker 12: the Secretary of State, and the Vice President of the 1845 02:32:29,800 --> 02:32:33,600 Speaker 12: United States, among others leading up to the president's major address. 1846 02:32:34,080 --> 02:32:35,800 Speaker 12: Like I said, we're supposed to have a few minutes here, 1847 02:32:38,200 --> 02:32:44,000 Speaker 12: David and doctor Ginam. I love the fact that our 1848 02:32:44,040 --> 02:32:48,199 Speaker 12: own Jack Besovic, a real America's voice post SOO, Steven 1849 02:32:48,280 --> 02:32:52,520 Speaker 12: Miller and Tucker Carlson brought the heat right. There's no 1850 02:32:53,840 --> 02:32:57,440 Speaker 12: doubt calling out our enemies, calling out the people that 1851 02:32:57,520 --> 02:33:00,600 Speaker 12: did this to Charlie, the folks they try to have 1852 02:33:00,720 --> 02:33:03,760 Speaker 12: shut down this whole movement, and then reinforced the fact 1853 02:33:04,240 --> 02:33:07,520 Speaker 12: of the positive nature and the live Christianity that is 1854 02:33:07,600 --> 02:33:09,960 Speaker 12: in back of this. I mean, it's no power on 1855 02:33:10,040 --> 02:33:13,160 Speaker 12: earth can stop this if we continue to press. 1856 02:33:13,120 --> 02:33:16,160 Speaker 1: On speaking powerful truth. Steve and I also think that 1857 02:33:17,720 --> 02:33:19,520 Speaker 1: so much of what they said is what America is 1858 02:33:19,640 --> 02:33:23,520 Speaker 1: really feeling at this moment. As we mentioned earlier, everybody 1859 02:33:23,600 --> 02:33:27,160 Speaker 1: got these bracelets that say we are Charlie Kirk. 1860 02:33:27,200 --> 02:33:31,240 Speaker 44: They were all on their seats. It's it's really not 1861 02:33:31,440 --> 02:33:32,200 Speaker 44: just a turning point. 1862 02:33:32,240 --> 02:33:35,560 Speaker 1: But the one thing I've heard everyone's talk about is 1863 02:33:35,600 --> 02:33:38,920 Speaker 1: sort of a reflection of America and whole and the 1864 02:33:38,959 --> 02:33:40,680 Speaker 1: fact that we are at such a turning point, such 1865 02:33:40,680 --> 02:33:41,520 Speaker 1: a pivotal change, but. 1866 02:33:41,560 --> 02:33:43,920 Speaker 44: It requires change of all of us. 1867 02:33:44,520 --> 02:33:46,560 Speaker 12: Oh that's being yes. 1868 02:33:46,760 --> 02:33:50,440 Speaker 1: And everybody talked about how one thing I heard, you know, 1869 02:33:50,480 --> 02:33:52,920 Speaker 1: as Charlie started so young, at first I thought I 1870 02:33:53,040 --> 02:33:54,840 Speaker 1: was mentoring him. I think a lot of us felt 1871 02:33:54,879 --> 02:33:57,680 Speaker 1: that way, and then ultimately no, it turns out he 1872 02:33:58,040 --> 02:34:04,920 Speaker 1: was leading us right exactly. But Steve, you you you 1873 02:34:05,360 --> 02:34:08,000 Speaker 1: definitely have had that well with so many people of mentorship. 1874 02:34:08,320 --> 02:34:10,640 Speaker 1: You were so close to Charlie as well, You do 1875 02:34:10,720 --> 02:34:13,119 Speaker 1: exactly whatever. Going to these people up here is saying amazing, 1876 02:34:13,280 --> 02:34:14,160 Speaker 1: It's absolutely amazing. 1877 02:34:14,240 --> 02:34:17,760 Speaker 12: What I like, what I've loved about today is the 1878 02:34:17,840 --> 02:34:21,119 Speaker 12: aspect of those that that that knew Charlie and knew 1879 02:34:22,200 --> 02:34:27,880 Speaker 12: how grounded it was in a in a very muscular Christianity, right, 1880 02:34:28,000 --> 02:34:30,959 Speaker 12: not the not the soft Gospels, but the hard truth. 1881 02:34:31,520 --> 02:34:34,200 Speaker 12: And Tucker summed it up I think perfectly right there. 1882 02:34:34,760 --> 02:34:37,000 Speaker 12: And you know Miller and Posts so kind of gave 1883 02:34:37,080 --> 02:34:40,360 Speaker 12: you the boom the fire, Yeah, Tucker gave you. And 1884 02:34:40,440 --> 02:34:42,199 Speaker 12: Tucker's gone through a journey. I mean, I think Talker 1885 02:34:42,240 --> 02:34:45,000 Speaker 12: would tell you because I think from some mainstream Protestant 1886 02:34:45,320 --> 02:34:48,720 Speaker 12: he is much more religious today and talking about Our 1887 02:34:48,760 --> 02:34:51,240 Speaker 12: Lord and saying to Jesus Christ not something Tucker Carlson 1888 02:34:52,240 --> 02:34:53,400 Speaker 12: fifteen or twenty years ago. 1889 02:34:53,480 --> 02:34:55,000 Speaker 25: I'm thought you picked up on that obviously. 1890 02:34:55,600 --> 02:34:57,879 Speaker 12: I thought he was phenomenal, phenomenal, phenomenal. 1891 02:34:57,959 --> 02:34:59,240 Speaker 18: I was, I'll be honest with you, I. 1892 02:34:59,320 --> 02:35:01,800 Speaker 66: Was not expecting it to be like that. I mean, 1893 02:35:01,840 --> 02:35:04,120 Speaker 66: you know, invoking the Holy Spirit, talking about Jesus. Now, 1894 02:35:04,400 --> 02:35:07,520 Speaker 66: he's talked about that before, but just in those terms 1895 02:35:07,560 --> 02:35:12,880 Speaker 66: and specifically repentance to me begins you talk about change, yeah, 1896 02:35:12,959 --> 02:35:14,760 Speaker 66: change of the heart, or you said change of the being. 1897 02:35:14,920 --> 02:35:15,879 Speaker 25: Yes, that's what it's about. 1898 02:35:16,040 --> 02:35:17,560 Speaker 18: Honestly, we're going nowhere without it. 1899 02:35:17,680 --> 02:35:21,680 Speaker 12: Yes, Well, you know, Tucker and making the analogy to 1900 02:35:21,760 --> 02:35:24,880 Speaker 12: politics about critiquing people and trying to get them to 1901 02:35:25,040 --> 02:35:25,640 Speaker 12: change through. 1902 02:35:25,600 --> 02:35:26,600 Speaker 18: Debate and reason. 1903 02:35:27,080 --> 02:35:30,160 Speaker 12: He talked about the Gospel of Self, which gets talks 1904 02:35:30,160 --> 02:35:32,400 Speaker 12: about your own change of repentance. 1905 02:35:32,520 --> 02:35:32,640 Speaker 21: Right. 1906 02:35:32,760 --> 02:35:37,040 Speaker 12: So I think it's very, very powerful, and I understand 1907 02:35:37,120 --> 02:35:39,560 Speaker 12: some of the mainstream media CNN and others are actually 1908 02:35:39,600 --> 02:35:45,640 Speaker 12: taking well, I'm sure MSNBC to tomorrow and okay, just 1909 02:35:45,760 --> 02:35:48,560 Speaker 12: write that down the phrase Christian nationalism. 1910 02:35:49,000 --> 02:35:49,879 Speaker 17: That will be right. 1911 02:35:50,040 --> 02:35:53,000 Speaker 12: That will be starting with Chris Hayes at eight o'clock. 1912 02:35:53,080 --> 02:35:55,800 Speaker 12: Of course our own favorite Rachel Maddow will be uh 1913 02:35:55,879 --> 02:35:58,240 Speaker 12: will be on. But this is this is Charlie's life, 1914 02:35:58,240 --> 02:36:00,600 Speaker 12: and you're seeing the people that knowing best, the people 1915 02:36:00,680 --> 02:36:03,080 Speaker 12: here that worked with him. And I think that's coming in. 1916 02:36:03,240 --> 02:36:04,920 Speaker 12: I think people see it now and a lot of 1917 02:36:04,959 --> 02:36:08,640 Speaker 12: the politicos and political operatives in d C saw it 1918 02:36:08,720 --> 02:36:11,920 Speaker 12: as a great organization going to college campuses, debating people 1919 02:36:12,080 --> 02:36:15,279 Speaker 12: changing people doing get out the vote, drives the ballot 1920 02:36:15,400 --> 02:36:18,360 Speaker 12: chasing right, everything that he did, ballot ballot chasing, which 1921 02:36:18,440 --> 02:36:19,240 Speaker 12: was brilliant what. 1922 02:36:19,320 --> 02:36:19,960 Speaker 25: He did Michigan. 1923 02:36:20,200 --> 02:36:22,240 Speaker 12: But they didn't see this aspect of it. And I 1924 02:36:22,280 --> 02:36:25,760 Speaker 12: think today it's reinforced it. And what's so amazing the 1925 02:36:26,040 --> 02:36:31,160 Speaker 12: the harder speakers we've gotten, uh postso Miller and uh 1926 02:36:31,360 --> 02:36:34,720 Speaker 12: and and and Tucker reinforced that aspect of it, right, 1927 02:36:34,840 --> 02:36:37,840 Speaker 12: And it shows you what and this is why the 1928 02:36:37,959 --> 02:36:40,039 Speaker 12: countries I keep saying, you're not gonna hug this one 1929 02:36:40,080 --> 02:36:45,000 Speaker 12: out right, You're you're the basic fundamental disagreement on the 1930 02:36:45,120 --> 02:36:48,400 Speaker 12: on the tenets of the Judeo Christian West and something 1931 02:36:48,480 --> 02:36:50,920 Speaker 12: that just doesn't oppose that but actually hates it to 1932 02:36:51,040 --> 02:36:51,800 Speaker 12: the core of its. 1933 02:36:51,760 --> 02:36:53,680 Speaker 25: Being so well. 1934 02:36:53,760 --> 02:36:56,160 Speaker 66: To me, what's interesting is when Stephen Miller compared, he 1935 02:36:56,240 --> 02:37:00,280 Speaker 66: talked about Western civilization and God and the combination of both. 1936 02:37:00,320 --> 02:37:03,160 Speaker 66: I mean, right, where's Rome today as a power? Nowhere 1937 02:37:03,200 --> 02:37:03,720 Speaker 66: to be found? 1938 02:37:04,240 --> 02:37:05,520 Speaker 18: And it's a correlation and. 1939 02:37:05,560 --> 02:37:08,520 Speaker 1: What he talked about, No, they have no creativity, they 1940 02:37:08,600 --> 02:37:10,600 Speaker 1: have no strength, they have no reality. 1941 02:37:10,720 --> 02:37:11,800 Speaker 17: Now we're going to do the pivot. 1942 02:37:11,840 --> 02:37:13,200 Speaker 12: We were going to have a ten minute break, but 1943 02:37:13,320 --> 02:37:14,879 Speaker 12: because we're on a little light. We're going to pivot 1944 02:37:14,959 --> 02:37:17,640 Speaker 12: now to the cabinet official Tulsi Gavitt, very very close 1945 02:37:18,080 --> 02:37:21,360 Speaker 12: to Charlie Kirk. We got Pete hegxas Marco Rubio here 1946 02:37:21,400 --> 02:37:23,600 Speaker 12: in Real America's voice as the commemoration of the life 1947 02:37:23,640 --> 02:37:27,840 Speaker 12: of Charlie Kirk life from the Carlton Football Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. 1948 02:37:27,920 --> 02:37:29,640 Speaker 12: Let's go to this main stage, Tulsa Gabbert. 1949 02:37:43,680 --> 02:37:47,680 Speaker 46: Charlie lived his life as a warrior for truth and 1950 02:37:47,800 --> 02:37:51,440 Speaker 46: for freedom, every single day choosing to step into the 1951 02:37:51,600 --> 02:37:56,480 Speaker 46: arena armed with the Constitution, sparring through debate on the 1952 02:37:56,520 --> 02:38:00,359 Speaker 46: battlefield of ideas, fighting for the heart of our democratic 1953 02:38:00,440 --> 02:38:05,360 Speaker 46: republic and the unalienable rights endowed upon every one of 1954 02:38:05,480 --> 02:38:14,080 Speaker 46: us by our creator. Charlie lived what our founders envisioned. Freedom, 1955 02:38:14,879 --> 02:38:17,240 Speaker 46: the right to speak even when we disagree. 1956 02:38:17,440 --> 02:38:17,880 Speaker 28: Freedom. 1957 02:38:19,080 --> 02:38:20,280 Speaker 41: I may not agree with what. 1958 02:38:20,440 --> 02:38:23,680 Speaker 46: You say, but I will fight to defend to the 1959 02:38:23,840 --> 02:38:25,440 Speaker 46: death with my very life. 1960 02:38:26,480 --> 02:38:27,720 Speaker 41: Your right to speak. 1961 02:38:29,280 --> 02:38:32,160 Speaker 46: Free speech is the foundation of our democratic republic. We 1962 02:38:32,280 --> 02:38:36,520 Speaker 46: must protect it at all costs, because without it, we'll 1963 02:38:36,560 --> 02:38:37,039 Speaker 46: be lost. 1964 02:38:39,480 --> 02:38:42,160 Speaker 41: Charlie knew this, He lived it. 1965 02:38:45,440 --> 02:38:51,720 Speaker 46: Charlie stood in the arena armed with superior arguments with truth, reason, 1966 02:38:52,680 --> 02:38:55,760 Speaker 46: propelled and motivated by his love for God, his love 1967 02:38:55,879 --> 02:39:01,400 Speaker 46: for others, his love for our great nation. His words 1968 02:39:01,440 --> 02:39:06,560 Speaker 46: were his weapons. He slayed ignorance, he cut through lies, 1969 02:39:06,720 --> 02:39:12,959 Speaker 46: and he woke people's minds, inspired people's hearts, and imparted 1970 02:39:13,040 --> 02:39:18,640 Speaker 46: wisdom every day. Now, for those of us who knew Charlie, 1971 02:39:18,680 --> 02:39:21,120 Speaker 46: and even those of you who may never have had 1972 02:39:21,160 --> 02:39:23,280 Speaker 46: the chance to meet him in person, we all know 1973 02:39:23,480 --> 02:39:28,160 Speaker 46: and experience how Charlie spoke with a calm courage, not 1974 02:39:28,360 --> 02:39:33,119 Speaker 46: asking what will God do for me, but instead praying, God, 1975 02:39:34,360 --> 02:39:39,599 Speaker 46: use me for your will. He showed respect and compassion 1976 02:39:39,840 --> 02:39:44,600 Speaker 46: for everyone, even those who opposed him, and I think 1977 02:39:44,720 --> 02:39:47,280 Speaker 46: especially for those who opposed him, he invited them to 1978 02:39:47,480 --> 02:39:49,320 Speaker 46: his table or on his show. 1979 02:39:49,280 --> 02:39:51,320 Speaker 41: Saying let's talk. 1980 02:39:53,360 --> 02:39:57,200 Speaker 46: Sitting with Charlie here in Arizona at ASU last year, 1981 02:39:57,800 --> 02:40:00,840 Speaker 46: seeing and experiencing him in action and was truly a 1982 02:40:00,959 --> 02:40:06,240 Speaker 46: sight to behold, because in Charlie he sincerely wanted people 1983 02:40:06,320 --> 02:40:10,680 Speaker 46: to know the truth because it's the truth that sets 1984 02:40:10,760 --> 02:40:25,279 Speaker 46: us free. It is the truth that keeps us free. Now, Charlie, 1985 02:40:26,879 --> 02:40:31,160 Speaker 46: he chose our schools as his arena because he knows 1986 02:40:31,240 --> 02:40:34,160 Speaker 46: that they are meant to teach, to train our young 1987 02:40:34,240 --> 02:40:37,879 Speaker 46: people to think critically, to debate ideas, to test their 1988 02:40:38,080 --> 02:40:42,280 Speaker 46: strength through a clash of reason. But too often these 1989 02:40:42,360 --> 02:40:48,320 Speaker 46: schools silence debate, saying words are violence. The dissenting voices 1990 02:40:48,400 --> 02:40:52,040 Speaker 46: are hushed, and those who speak of God those who 1991 02:40:52,160 --> 02:40:56,280 Speaker 46: speak the truth, simple objective truths, like there are only 1992 02:40:56,400 --> 02:40:57,240 Speaker 46: two genders. 1993 02:40:57,360 --> 02:41:00,720 Speaker 41: In these schools, they are told you have no voice. 1994 02:41:08,959 --> 02:41:13,160 Speaker 46: Charlie chose this arena to take these people head on, 1995 02:41:13,320 --> 02:41:18,080 Speaker 46: to challenge these institutions, these students and faculty, encouraging them 1996 02:41:18,200 --> 02:41:23,040 Speaker 46: to come to speak honestly, bring your ideas, debate loudly, 1997 02:41:23,240 --> 02:41:28,640 Speaker 46: and think critically. And Charlie did this so well. He 1998 02:41:28,920 --> 02:41:35,000 Speaker 46: was winning so much, winning so much so that the 1999 02:41:35,080 --> 02:41:38,160 Speaker 46: forces of darkness, hate and evil were threatened by him 2000 02:41:39,120 --> 02:41:44,440 Speaker 46: and tried to silence him. History shows this dark pattern 2001 02:41:44,480 --> 02:41:49,119 Speaker 46: that when ideas cannot withstand scrutiny, whether it's the ideology 2002 02:41:49,160 --> 02:41:53,519 Speaker 46: of so called religious fanatics or political fanatics, their defenders, 2003 02:41:53,720 --> 02:41:56,640 Speaker 46: terrified that their weak ideas will be exposed for what 2004 02:41:56,879 --> 02:41:59,200 Speaker 46: they are, turned to intimidation. 2005 02:42:00,800 --> 02:42:01,520 Speaker 41: And violence. 2006 02:42:02,640 --> 02:42:07,240 Speaker 46: They kill and terrorize their opponents, hoping to silence them. 2007 02:42:07,480 --> 02:42:12,240 Speaker 46: But in this evil that we have experienced that Charlie face. 2008 02:42:12,360 --> 02:42:17,280 Speaker 46: Their flawed ideology is exposed because by trying to silence Charlie, 2009 02:42:18,640 --> 02:42:21,240 Speaker 46: his voice is now louder than ever. 2010 02:42:25,560 --> 02:42:26,800 Speaker 41: His message. 2011 02:42:28,480 --> 02:42:32,880 Speaker 46: Is more powerful and impactful than ever. The truths that 2012 02:42:33,040 --> 02:42:35,320 Speaker 46: he spoke have spread hundredfold. 2013 02:42:37,120 --> 02:42:38,000 Speaker 41: Charlie was fearless. 2014 02:42:38,040 --> 02:42:42,000 Speaker 46: But where did his fearlessness come from? The answer lies 2015 02:42:42,080 --> 02:42:46,640 Speaker 46: in Corinthians. Therefore, be always of good courage, and know 2016 02:42:46,840 --> 02:42:49,520 Speaker 46: that while we are at home in the body, we 2017 02:42:49,600 --> 02:42:50,880 Speaker 46: are absent from the Lord. 2018 02:42:52,000 --> 02:42:52,960 Speaker 28: We are of good courage. 2019 02:42:53,040 --> 02:42:55,760 Speaker 46: I say, and prefer to be absent from the body, 2020 02:42:56,480 --> 02:43:01,840 Speaker 46: and at home with the Lord. We have as our ambition, 2021 02:43:02,840 --> 02:43:06,760 Speaker 46: whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. 2022 02:43:09,120 --> 02:43:10,720 Speaker 28: So our call to action is now. 2023 02:43:10,959 --> 02:43:14,640 Speaker 46: Every one of us needs to be a warrior like Charlie, 2024 02:43:15,320 --> 02:43:19,000 Speaker 46: to take shelter in God, to draw strength and fearlessness 2025 02:43:19,040 --> 02:43:21,360 Speaker 46: from the Lord who sits within every one of our hearts. 2026 02:43:21,760 --> 02:43:25,800 Speaker 46: To stand together continue the mission that Charlie dedicated his 2027 02:43:25,959 --> 02:43:30,840 Speaker 46: life to. To sharpen our weapons of truth, common sense, 2028 02:43:31,400 --> 02:43:36,480 Speaker 46: and reason, to train, to study, learn, and to speak. 2029 02:43:36,640 --> 02:43:40,440 Speaker 46: Exercise our God given right to speak and carry that 2030 02:43:40,680 --> 02:43:44,640 Speaker 46: torch that shines brightly because of God's love. 2031 02:43:46,840 --> 02:43:50,920 Speaker 41: So right now. If you feel. 2032 02:43:52,200 --> 02:43:57,600 Speaker 46: Afraid or lost, confuse, not sure exactly what to do, 2033 02:43:59,240 --> 02:43:59,600 Speaker 46: don't be. 2034 02:44:01,440 --> 02:44:02,880 Speaker 41: God says, don't be afraid. 2035 02:44:04,120 --> 02:44:04,720 Speaker 39: I am with you. 2036 02:44:06,160 --> 02:44:08,680 Speaker 41: I will strengthen you and help you. 2037 02:44:09,680 --> 02:44:10,800 Speaker 28: And He is with us. 2038 02:44:10,920 --> 02:44:14,360 Speaker 41: He sits within every one of our hearts, just waiting 2039 02:44:14,480 --> 02:44:19,480 Speaker 41: for us to choose him to say, as Charlie did, God, 2040 02:44:21,520 --> 02:44:23,720 Speaker 41: use me for your will. 2041 02:44:25,000 --> 02:44:28,199 Speaker 46: To say, God, my life is yours, I am yours, 2042 02:44:28,360 --> 02:44:29,879 Speaker 46: My heart is yours. 2043 02:44:30,000 --> 02:44:30,800 Speaker 41: Let me serve you. 2044 02:44:33,680 --> 02:44:36,360 Speaker 46: Now is the time for us to step into the 2045 02:44:36,440 --> 02:44:41,680 Speaker 46: arena and to stand as warriors for freedom and truth 2046 02:44:42,560 --> 02:44:47,680 Speaker 46: and fight. May God bless you all. We love you, Charlie. 2047 02:44:48,840 --> 02:44:51,280 Speaker 46: May God bless this great nation. 2048 02:44:52,640 --> 02:44:52,960 Speaker 18: Thank you. 2049 02:45:03,440 --> 02:45:06,360 Speaker 12: Okay, Mark Ruby, a Secretary of State. We've never seen 2050 02:45:06,440 --> 02:45:09,680 Speaker 12: ever in history a group like this for a civilian, 2051 02:45:10,280 --> 02:45:15,640 Speaker 12: extraordinary Secretary of State, Mark Ruby of great comments by 2052 02:45:15,760 --> 02:45:19,000 Speaker 12: Tulson Gabbet, Mark Ruby, than Petex that Secretary of War. 2053 02:45:34,040 --> 02:45:38,360 Speaker 67: About maybe ten or twelve years ago, a person I 2054 02:45:38,440 --> 02:45:40,160 Speaker 67: knew very well had been very helpful to me in 2055 02:45:40,240 --> 02:45:43,160 Speaker 67: my campaigns when I was in the Senate came to 2056 02:45:43,240 --> 02:45:45,120 Speaker 67: me and said she had met this very impressive young 2057 02:45:45,200 --> 02:45:47,640 Speaker 67: man and he was going to start this group to 2058 02:45:47,720 --> 02:45:52,520 Speaker 67: go on college campuses and try to convince young Americans 2059 02:45:53,600 --> 02:45:55,519 Speaker 67: that ours is the greatest country. 2060 02:45:55,280 --> 02:45:59,480 Speaker 68: In the history of the world, and that Marxism was bad. 2061 02:46:01,240 --> 02:46:03,640 Speaker 67: And I remember thinking back then, I'm gonna admit to 2062 02:46:03,640 --> 02:46:06,000 Speaker 67: you guys, there was a little skeptical I said, college campuses, 2063 02:46:06,040 --> 02:46:08,480 Speaker 67: you're going to do that, Why don't you start somewhere easier, like, 2064 02:46:08,560 --> 02:46:15,760 Speaker 67: for example, Communist Cuba. You know, But my skepticism was 2065 02:46:15,800 --> 02:46:20,359 Speaker 67: proven wrong in place after place over the last twelve fourteen, 2066 02:46:20,480 --> 02:46:24,240 Speaker 67: sixteen years, we've seen this renaissance. Understand where we were 2067 02:46:24,360 --> 02:46:27,840 Speaker 67: at that time in our history, understand where we are 2068 02:46:27,959 --> 02:46:31,240 Speaker 67: still today. In many places where young Americans are actively 2069 02:46:31,360 --> 02:46:34,400 Speaker 67: told that everything that they were taught, that all the 2070 02:46:34,520 --> 02:46:38,160 Speaker 67: foundations that made our society and our civilization so grand, 2071 02:46:38,400 --> 02:46:40,600 Speaker 67: they were all wrong, They were all evil. That marriage 2072 02:46:40,680 --> 02:46:43,480 Speaker 67: is oppressive, that children are a burden, that America is 2073 02:46:43,520 --> 02:46:45,320 Speaker 67: a source of evil, not of good in the world. 2074 02:46:46,560 --> 02:46:48,760 Speaker 67: And here was this voice that inspired a movement in 2075 02:46:48,800 --> 02:46:52,600 Speaker 67: which young Americans were told that is not true. The 2076 02:46:52,800 --> 02:46:55,520 Speaker 67: highest calling we are called to is to be in 2077 02:46:55,560 --> 02:46:58,640 Speaker 67: a successful marriage and to raise productive children. 2078 02:47:04,560 --> 02:47:07,800 Speaker 68: And a movement that taught them that ours. 2079 02:47:07,760 --> 02:47:11,680 Speaker 67: Was not a great country, but the greatest, most exceptional 2080 02:47:11,800 --> 02:47:14,200 Speaker 67: nation that has ever existed in the history of all 2081 02:47:14,240 --> 02:47:17,680 Speaker 67: of mankind, and that it's worth fighting for, it's worth defending, 2082 02:47:17,920 --> 02:47:20,800 Speaker 67: it's worth preserving, and it's worth passing on to the 2083 02:47:20,879 --> 02:47:21,560 Speaker 67: next generation. 2084 02:47:27,840 --> 02:47:29,960 Speaker 68: This was the mission and the work of Charlie Kirk, 2085 02:47:31,560 --> 02:47:32,560 Speaker 68: and a couple of things. 2086 02:47:32,400 --> 02:47:35,240 Speaker 67: That stound out about him. He led this movement, but 2087 02:47:35,360 --> 02:47:39,080 Speaker 67: he did so with incredible knowledge. It's unbelievable how much 2088 02:47:39,120 --> 02:47:43,040 Speaker 67: he knew. He came to me very recently he said 2089 02:47:43,080 --> 02:47:45,000 Speaker 67: some quote, he said, I said, who said that? He said, 2090 02:47:45,080 --> 02:47:46,000 Speaker 67: Marcus Aurelius. 2091 02:47:46,480 --> 02:47:46,920 Speaker 18: I said, what. 2092 02:47:47,040 --> 02:47:48,119 Speaker 68: District does he represent? 2093 02:47:51,920 --> 02:47:54,320 Speaker 67: I kind of knew it was, but he said back, no, 2094 02:47:54,480 --> 02:47:57,920 Speaker 67: it's a Roman, you know, philosopher, king or emperor. 2095 02:47:58,840 --> 02:47:59,800 Speaker 68: His incredible knowledge. 2096 02:48:00,040 --> 02:48:01,720 Speaker 67: Let me tell you that one of the last messages 2097 02:48:01,840 --> 02:48:04,280 Speaker 67: I had with him was just a few days before 2098 02:48:04,360 --> 02:48:07,600 Speaker 67: his passing, where he wrote me from overseas, I'm in 2099 02:48:07,720 --> 02:48:10,120 Speaker 67: South Korea. I have many concerns I want to share 2100 02:48:10,160 --> 02:48:13,160 Speaker 67: with you when I get back. He was constantly expanding 2101 02:48:13,200 --> 02:48:16,760 Speaker 67: his horizons, but he just didn't have knowledge. He had wisdom, 2102 02:48:17,320 --> 02:48:19,680 Speaker 67: an uncanny amount of wisdom for a man as young 2103 02:48:19,720 --> 02:48:23,440 Speaker 67: as he was. Wisdom that sometimes it takes a lifetime 2104 02:48:23,480 --> 02:48:26,280 Speaker 67: to accumulate. He had it in just thirty one years. 2105 02:48:29,440 --> 02:48:33,920 Speaker 67: He was also bold, it is so easy, and listen, 2106 02:48:34,000 --> 02:48:35,400 Speaker 67: I've been guilty of it. I think many of us 2107 02:48:35,440 --> 02:48:38,440 Speaker 67: have been guilty of this. You hide behind the walls 2108 02:48:38,440 --> 02:48:40,480 Speaker 67: and you surround yourself with people that agree with you. 2109 02:48:41,560 --> 02:48:44,279 Speaker 67: We do it as a society all the time. Increasingly 2110 02:48:44,400 --> 02:48:46,960 Speaker 67: people are moving into neighborhoods with other people that agree 2111 02:48:47,000 --> 02:48:50,160 Speaker 67: with them politically and isolate themselves from people that do 2112 02:48:50,280 --> 02:48:51,600 Speaker 67: not agree with them. 2113 02:48:52,760 --> 02:48:54,000 Speaker 68: But Charlie Kirk was bold. 2114 02:48:54,160 --> 02:48:58,480 Speaker 67: He actively sought out to engage peacefully, respectfully those who 2115 02:48:58,560 --> 02:49:01,800 Speaker 67: he disagreed with. As recently as two days ago, we 2116 02:49:01,959 --> 02:49:05,000 Speaker 67: learned of one of the hosts on CNN who said 2117 02:49:05,040 --> 02:49:06,640 Speaker 67: that one of the messages he had gotten just a 2118 02:49:06,680 --> 02:49:08,279 Speaker 67: few days before It's Allie's passing. 2119 02:49:08,160 --> 02:49:10,440 Speaker 68: Was from him inviting him to dialogue. 2120 02:49:10,760 --> 02:49:13,720 Speaker 67: And he did this on campuses, He did this on podcasts, 2121 02:49:13,879 --> 02:49:15,920 Speaker 67: He did this on radio shows, he did this on 2122 02:49:16,040 --> 02:49:16,879 Speaker 67: television shows. 2123 02:49:17,160 --> 02:49:17,800 Speaker 68: Time and again. 2124 02:49:17,840 --> 02:49:20,400 Speaker 67: He sought to engage those he disagreed with, because he 2125 02:49:20,520 --> 02:49:23,760 Speaker 67: understood that we were not created to isolate ourselves from 2126 02:49:23,800 --> 02:49:26,520 Speaker 67: one another, but to engage the irony in all this 2127 02:49:27,640 --> 02:49:29,640 Speaker 67: is that what our nation needs, one of the many 2128 02:49:29,720 --> 02:49:35,520 Speaker 67: things that needs is the ability to discuss our differences openly, honestly, peacefully, respectfully. 2129 02:49:35,680 --> 02:49:38,640 Speaker 67: And Charlie Kirk did that more than anyone alive in 2130 02:49:38,720 --> 02:49:50,280 Speaker 67: America today is doing. And Charlie Kirk was impactful, impactful 2131 02:49:50,320 --> 02:49:51,640 Speaker 67: because of all the things I've said. 2132 02:49:51,800 --> 02:49:52,920 Speaker 68: But look around this place. 2133 02:49:54,320 --> 02:49:56,879 Speaker 67: There's one hundred and something thousand people here. The President 2134 02:49:56,920 --> 02:49:59,680 Speaker 67: of the United States is here, his entire cabinet is here. 2135 02:50:00,560 --> 02:50:03,400 Speaker 68: Television, audio outlets, and media outlets from all over the 2136 02:50:03,440 --> 02:50:04,360 Speaker 68: world are covering this. 2137 02:50:04,959 --> 02:50:07,279 Speaker 67: I just came from overseas and every country I stopped 2138 02:50:07,280 --> 02:50:10,880 Speaker 67: they gave us their condolences for his passing. Impactful in 2139 02:50:11,040 --> 02:50:14,280 Speaker 67: just thirty one years of life, he made a difference. 2140 02:50:15,840 --> 02:50:18,000 Speaker 67: He mattered, and he will matter now more than he 2141 02:50:18,080 --> 02:50:23,280 Speaker 67: ever has before. And let me close with this, how 2142 02:50:23,320 --> 02:50:26,040 Speaker 67: do you remember? This is a memorial service, it's to 2143 02:50:26,120 --> 02:50:27,920 Speaker 67: honor him. How do you best remember it? I'll take 2144 02:50:27,959 --> 02:50:32,600 Speaker 67: the liberty of saying what I think we can best do. Look, 2145 02:50:32,640 --> 02:50:33,000 Speaker 67: I think he. 2146 02:50:33,040 --> 02:50:35,800 Speaker 68: Had an a tremendous impact on young Americans in general. 2147 02:50:35,840 --> 02:50:38,480 Speaker 67: I think he had a very special and direct impact 2148 02:50:38,720 --> 02:50:41,240 Speaker 67: on young men in this country. That's one of the 2149 02:50:41,320 --> 02:50:42,600 Speaker 67: greatest developments I've seen. 2150 02:50:42,640 --> 02:50:45,160 Speaker 68: It's been very positive. I think we remember him for that. 2151 02:50:52,480 --> 02:50:55,000 Speaker 67: I think we remember him for constantly saying, you want 2152 02:50:55,040 --> 02:50:57,680 Speaker 67: to live a productive life, get married, start a family, 2153 02:50:57,800 --> 02:50:58,520 Speaker 67: love your country. 2154 02:50:58,560 --> 02:50:59,920 Speaker 68: These are powerful messages. 2155 02:51:01,520 --> 02:51:03,879 Speaker 67: But I hope many who are watching I imagine there 2156 02:51:03,920 --> 02:51:05,879 Speaker 67: are people watching here tonight that didn't know much about 2157 02:51:05,959 --> 02:51:09,200 Speaker 67: Charlie Kirk until eleven days ago. Maybe they were disengaged 2158 02:51:09,200 --> 02:51:11,240 Speaker 67: from politics, maybe they were partially engaged. 2159 02:51:11,640 --> 02:51:13,200 Speaker 68: I hope one of the things they take from this 2160 02:51:14,080 --> 02:51:16,480 Speaker 68: is that the movement Charlie Kirk led and started and 2161 02:51:16,600 --> 02:51:21,080 Speaker 68: gave fuel to was about politics, but not only about politics. 2162 02:51:21,120 --> 02:51:24,680 Speaker 67: It was deeper, It was broader, and I would say 2163 02:51:24,760 --> 02:51:28,040 Speaker 67: that taking the liberty, but I'm confident he would agree. 2164 02:51:28,680 --> 02:51:30,360 Speaker 67: One of the things he wants us to take away 2165 02:51:30,400 --> 02:51:34,720 Speaker 67: from this, from all of this is the following his 2166 02:51:34,879 --> 02:51:35,840 Speaker 67: deep belief. 2167 02:51:37,080 --> 02:51:39,279 Speaker 68: That we were all created, every single. 2168 02:51:39,120 --> 02:51:41,600 Speaker 67: One of us, before the beginning of time, by the 2169 02:51:41,720 --> 02:51:44,440 Speaker 67: hands of the God of the universe and all powerful 2170 02:51:44,480 --> 02:51:47,360 Speaker 67: God who loved us and created us for the purpose 2171 02:51:47,440 --> 02:51:50,680 Speaker 67: of living with him in eternity, but then sin entered 2172 02:51:50,680 --> 02:51:53,520 Speaker 67: the world and separated us from our creator. And so 2173 02:51:53,680 --> 02:51:56,560 Speaker 67: God took on the form of a man and came 2174 02:51:56,680 --> 02:51:59,520 Speaker 67: down and lived among us, and he suffered like. 2175 02:51:59,600 --> 02:52:03,480 Speaker 68: Men, and he died like a man. But on the 2176 02:52:03,560 --> 02:52:05,879 Speaker 68: third day he rose unlike any mortal man. 2177 02:52:07,879 --> 02:52:08,360 Speaker 8: And then. 2178 02:52:11,879 --> 02:52:14,480 Speaker 67: And to prove any doubters wrong, he ate with his 2179 02:52:14,600 --> 02:52:17,120 Speaker 67: disciples so they could see, and they touched his wounds. 2180 02:52:17,560 --> 02:52:19,440 Speaker 68: He didn't rise as a ghost or as a spirit, 2181 02:52:19,640 --> 02:52:20,279 Speaker 68: but his flesh. 2182 02:52:21,800 --> 02:52:23,520 Speaker 67: And then he rose to the heaven. But he promised 2183 02:52:23,560 --> 02:52:26,840 Speaker 67: he would return, and he will. And when he returns, 2184 02:52:27,400 --> 02:52:30,760 Speaker 67: because he took on that death, because he carried that cross, 2185 02:52:31,000 --> 02:52:33,360 Speaker 67: we were freed from the sin that separated us from him. 2186 02:52:33,600 --> 02:52:35,920 Speaker 69: And when he returns, there will be a new heaven 2187 02:52:36,240 --> 02:52:38,480 Speaker 69: and a new earth, and we will all be together, 2188 02:52:38,800 --> 02:52:41,600 Speaker 69: and we are going to have a great reunion there 2189 02:52:41,800 --> 02:52:44,600 Speaker 69: again with Charlie and all the people we loved. 2190 02:52:44,879 --> 02:52:46,040 Speaker 68: Thank you and God bless you. 2191 02:52:49,040 --> 02:52:51,320 Speaker 12: Wow Secretary of State, Mark or Rubio. 2192 02:52:51,840 --> 02:52:54,520 Speaker 44: Beautiful words and such a vision he painted for us. 2193 02:52:56,400 --> 02:53:00,879 Speaker 12: He threw down his heart as Tucker and Stephen Miller 2194 02:53:00,920 --> 02:53:05,200 Speaker 12: and Jack Psobic we have coming up next, Uh Pete Hesath. 2195 02:53:05,720 --> 02:53:08,360 Speaker 12: We're very very close peace, very close to Charlie here 2196 02:53:08,400 --> 02:53:11,040 Speaker 12: We're going to go back to the main stage Secretary 2197 02:53:11,080 --> 02:53:12,119 Speaker 12: of War Pete Hexath. 2198 02:53:30,920 --> 02:53:34,240 Speaker 15: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Secretary Pete Hesath. 2199 02:53:50,680 --> 02:53:51,560 Speaker 18: Charlie Kirk. 2200 02:53:53,760 --> 02:53:58,520 Speaker 70: A patriot, a conservative, a leader, a builder, an advocate 2201 02:53:58,680 --> 02:54:04,640 Speaker 70: and author, a love of freedom, a husband, a father, 2202 02:54:05,520 --> 02:54:11,000 Speaker 70: a Christian, and a warrior. You see, Charlie Kirk was 2203 02:54:11,080 --> 02:54:14,160 Speaker 70: a true believer for the cause of freedom, for the 2204 02:54:14,280 --> 02:54:17,760 Speaker 70: power of young people, belief in our republic and our 2205 02:54:17,840 --> 02:54:22,360 Speaker 70: founding principles in America first and make America great again. 2206 02:54:24,680 --> 02:54:32,680 Speaker 70: But more importantly, he was a true believer. Only Christ 2207 02:54:32,959 --> 02:54:43,960 Speaker 70: is King, our Lord and Savior. Our sins are washed 2208 02:54:44,040 --> 02:54:47,560 Speaker 70: away by the blood of Jesus. Fear God and. 2209 02:54:47,720 --> 02:54:57,360 Speaker 18: Fear no man. That was Charlie Kirk. You see. 2210 02:54:57,440 --> 02:55:01,240 Speaker 70: Charlie Kirk started turning Point USA to change our politics. 2211 02:55:02,000 --> 02:55:04,200 Speaker 70: That's when I first met him over a decade ago. 2212 02:55:05,440 --> 02:55:08,240 Speaker 70: He was building a movement and nobody worked harder at it, 2213 02:55:08,720 --> 02:55:14,720 Speaker 70: bringing people to political small tea truth I still have 2214 02:55:14,840 --> 02:55:18,120 Speaker 70: the sticker big government sucks. 2215 02:55:29,879 --> 02:55:32,160 Speaker 39: And he pursued that truth with more vigor. 2216 02:55:31,959 --> 02:55:35,640 Speaker 70: Than anyone I've ever met. But over time he realized, 2217 02:55:35,680 --> 02:55:37,760 Speaker 70: like so many of us have, that this is not 2218 02:55:37,840 --> 02:55:41,840 Speaker 70: a political war. It's not even a cultural war. It's 2219 02:55:41,879 --> 02:55:48,120 Speaker 70: a spiritual war. Faith and family. First, there is a God, 2220 02:55:48,200 --> 02:55:53,000 Speaker 70: and as Charlie would say, it is not us. We're sinners, 2221 02:55:53,080 --> 02:55:55,199 Speaker 70: saved only by grace, in need. 2222 02:55:55,560 --> 02:55:56,800 Speaker 12: Of the Gospel. 2223 02:55:57,879 --> 02:56:00,000 Speaker 18: You see, we always did need less governed. 2224 02:56:00,920 --> 02:56:04,160 Speaker 70: But what Charlie understood and infused into his movement is 2225 02:56:05,000 --> 02:56:11,039 Speaker 70: we also needed a lot more God. Charlie had big plans, 2226 02:56:12,440 --> 02:56:15,400 Speaker 70: but God had even bigger plans. 2227 02:56:24,000 --> 02:56:24,160 Speaker 64: You know. 2228 02:56:24,280 --> 02:56:27,119 Speaker 18: Marco mentioned this Arena and the millions. Watching. 2229 02:56:28,879 --> 02:56:32,240 Speaker 70: A couple of days ago, I learned that Kirk actually 2230 02:56:32,480 --> 02:56:37,000 Speaker 70: in German German. In German, the German language means church. 2231 02:56:38,640 --> 02:56:40,760 Speaker 70: So on this Sunday morning, I'd like to think we're 2232 02:56:40,840 --> 02:56:51,560 Speaker 70: all in Charlie's church. Charlie started a political movement but 2233 02:56:51,720 --> 02:56:55,200 Speaker 70: unleashed a spiritual revival. My pastor texted me the day 2234 02:56:55,240 --> 02:56:59,640 Speaker 70: after that horrific event and said, Pete the devil overplayed 2235 02:56:59,680 --> 02:57:04,920 Speaker 70: his hand. Charlie started with liberty but ended up lighting 2236 02:57:05,040 --> 02:57:09,160 Speaker 70: our country on fire for Christ. He started turning point USA. 2237 02:57:09,600 --> 02:57:13,800 Speaker 70: But this moment is the turning point for the USA. 2238 02:57:15,959 --> 02:57:16,320 Speaker 18: Right now. 2239 02:57:21,800 --> 02:57:25,680 Speaker 39: He died the way he lived, speaking the truth. 2240 02:57:26,760 --> 02:57:28,480 Speaker 18: Charlie waged war not with a. 2241 02:57:28,480 --> 02:57:33,560 Speaker 70: Weapon, but with a tent, a microphone, his mind and 2242 02:57:33,720 --> 02:57:37,240 Speaker 70: the truth, and the gates of hell could not prevail 2243 02:57:37,560 --> 02:57:47,720 Speaker 70: against him. He went into the darkest of places, like 2244 02:57:47,840 --> 02:57:50,600 Speaker 70: Paul in the Book of Acts. He went into college 2245 02:57:50,640 --> 02:57:52,480 Speaker 70: campuses where they said we couldn't. 2246 02:57:52,160 --> 02:57:55,080 Speaker 18: Go, and he was the light. 2247 02:57:55,720 --> 02:58:02,120 Speaker 70: He was bold, he was brave, he was hero You know, 2248 02:58:02,200 --> 02:58:05,560 Speaker 70: at the War Department, we know a little bit about heroism. 2249 02:58:06,760 --> 02:58:09,879 Speaker 70: I've seen it personally on the battle field from Americans 2250 02:58:09,959 --> 02:58:14,160 Speaker 70: wearing camouflage, and I'm surrounded by men and women today 2251 02:58:14,160 --> 02:58:18,199 Speaker 70: who have the chance to witness the same. Most people 2252 02:58:18,240 --> 02:58:21,480 Speaker 70: don't know this, but Charlie Kirk wanted to go to 2253 02:58:21,560 --> 02:58:28,080 Speaker 70: West Point. It never happened. Obviously, his personal loss at 2254 02:58:28,120 --> 02:58:40,400 Speaker 70: that moment was our nation's great gain. Charlie Kirk was 2255 02:58:40,440 --> 02:58:43,760 Speaker 70: a citizen who had the biblical heart of a soldier 2256 02:58:44,360 --> 02:58:47,680 Speaker 70: of the faith who put on every single day the 2257 02:58:47,840 --> 02:58:53,119 Speaker 70: full armor of God with a smile, as the scriptures 2258 02:58:53,240 --> 02:58:59,080 Speaker 70: tell all christ followers to do. Charlie Kirk a warrior 2259 02:58:59,160 --> 02:59:03,480 Speaker 70: for country, a warrior for Christ. He ran the race, 2260 02:59:04,440 --> 02:59:09,520 Speaker 70: He finished the fight. Now it's our turn, my charge 2261 02:59:09,560 --> 02:59:15,280 Speaker 70: to all of you. Live worthy of Charlie Kirk's sacrifice 2262 02:59:15,640 --> 02:59:19,600 Speaker 70: and put Christ at the center of your life. As 2263 02:59:19,720 --> 02:59:35,600 Speaker 70: he advocated for giving his Charlie has heard the words 2264 02:59:37,200 --> 02:59:44,600 Speaker 70: echoing now in heaven. Well done, good and faithful servant. 2265 02:59:45,560 --> 02:59:47,440 Speaker 70: Charlie will take it from here, God bless. 2266 02:59:51,879 --> 02:59:54,600 Speaker 12: Next is going to be Robert F. Kennedy Junior, who 2267 02:59:56,320 --> 02:59:59,520 Speaker 12: knows something about assassinations. What do you vergnan from Pete Hexath, 2268 02:59:59,560 --> 03:00:02,720 Speaker 12: I mean a close friend of Charlie's Christian lawyers of 2269 03:00:03,800 --> 03:00:09,400 Speaker 12: Robert F. Kennedy and then Don Junior. Pretty uh, pretty amazing. 2270 03:00:09,720 --> 03:00:11,840 Speaker 1: Amazing, and I love the way they're playing the hymns 2271 03:00:12,280 --> 03:00:13,160 Speaker 1: between everything. 2272 03:00:13,280 --> 03:00:15,320 Speaker 44: This has remained a worship service. 2273 03:00:15,040 --> 03:00:18,360 Speaker 12: And I was kind of concerned it would be not 2274 03:00:18,520 --> 03:00:20,360 Speaker 12: you know, we'd lose the worship server as part of it. 2275 03:00:20,720 --> 03:00:23,279 Speaker 12: This is reinforced it to the next level. It's been fantastic. 2276 03:00:31,120 --> 03:00:34,640 Speaker 15: Please welcome to the stage, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior. 2277 03:00:47,480 --> 03:00:56,680 Speaker 71: M Charlie's overarching passion was his Christianity and his devotion 2278 03:00:57,240 --> 03:01:02,040 Speaker 71: to his God. He believed what Saint Francis taught us 2279 03:01:02,480 --> 03:01:07,640 Speaker 71: almost a thousand years ago. We should strive to live 2280 03:01:07,720 --> 03:01:14,360 Speaker 71: our lives in perfect imitation of Christ. We should turn 2281 03:01:14,440 --> 03:01:19,240 Speaker 71: every day, and every moment and every interaction into a prayer. 2282 03:01:20,360 --> 03:01:23,960 Speaker 71: And Charlie understood the great paradox that it's only by 2283 03:01:24,120 --> 03:01:28,320 Speaker 71: surrender to God that God's power can flow into our 2284 03:01:28,440 --> 03:01:35,440 Speaker 71: lives and make us effective human beings. Charlie Christ died 2285 03:01:35,480 --> 03:01:39,720 Speaker 71: at thirty three years old, but he changed the trajectory 2286 03:01:39,800 --> 03:01:45,039 Speaker 71: of history. Charlie died at thirty one years old. Because 2287 03:01:45,200 --> 03:01:49,840 Speaker 71: he had surrendered. He also now has changed the trajectory 2288 03:01:49,920 --> 03:01:50,800 Speaker 71: of history. 2289 03:01:57,360 --> 03:01:57,840 Speaker 63: Charlie's. 2290 03:01:58,840 --> 03:02:04,120 Speaker 71: Charlie's other passion was free speech. He understood that the 2291 03:02:04,320 --> 03:02:07,880 Speaker 71: free flow of information was the soil, the water, the 2292 03:02:08,000 --> 03:02:14,840 Speaker 71: sunlight for democracy. He understood democracy's great advantage was that 2293 03:02:15,080 --> 03:02:20,280 Speaker 71: our policies were formed my ideas that had triumphed in 2294 03:02:20,360 --> 03:02:27,640 Speaker 71: a marketplace of debate and conversation. He thought that conversation 2295 03:02:27,920 --> 03:02:30,600 Speaker 71: was the only way to heal our country, and this 2296 03:02:30,840 --> 03:02:36,040 Speaker 71: was important, particularly important during a technological age when we 2297 03:02:36,120 --> 03:02:41,040 Speaker 71: are all hooked into social rhythms, that social algorithms that 2298 03:02:42,040 --> 03:02:46,320 Speaker 71: are hacked into the reptilian course of our brain and 2299 03:02:46,800 --> 03:02:51,320 Speaker 71: amplify our impulses for tribalism and for division. 2300 03:02:52,080 --> 03:02:53,840 Speaker 18: He felt that the only way. 2301 03:02:54,360 --> 03:02:59,440 Speaker 71: To overcomeological impulse was with a spiritual fire and with 2302 03:02:59,600 --> 03:03:03,520 Speaker 71: developed community. And the only way to develop community was 2303 03:03:03,560 --> 03:03:08,720 Speaker 71: through conversation. And so he always gave the biggest microphone 2304 03:03:09,520 --> 03:03:12,520 Speaker 71: to the people who were most passionately aligned against him, 2305 03:03:13,120 --> 03:03:15,720 Speaker 71: because he believed that we need to talk to each other, 2306 03:03:16,440 --> 03:03:18,280 Speaker 71: and that we needed to be able to say what 2307 03:03:18,440 --> 03:03:24,560 Speaker 71: we mean without saying it mean. A few years ago, 2308 03:03:25,440 --> 03:03:30,520 Speaker 71: my brother David died and I asked my mother, was 2309 03:03:30,600 --> 03:03:33,640 Speaker 71: the whole that they leave in you when they die 2310 03:03:33,760 --> 03:03:37,480 Speaker 71: doesn't ever get any smaller? And she said to me, 2311 03:03:37,640 --> 03:03:40,960 Speaker 71: it never gets any smaller. But our job is to 2312 03:03:41,080 --> 03:03:44,640 Speaker 71: grow ourselves bigger around the hole. And we do that 2313 03:03:44,920 --> 03:03:48,560 Speaker 71: by taking the best qualities, the best, most admirable character 2314 03:03:48,680 --> 03:03:52,959 Speaker 71: traits of the person that died, and he integrate them 2315 03:03:53,040 --> 03:03:57,560 Speaker 71: with restraint, with discipline, with practice, into our own character, 2316 03:03:57,840 --> 03:04:02,000 Speaker 71: And in doing that, we make ourselves larger, and the 2317 03:04:02,080 --> 03:04:06,040 Speaker 71: whole gets proportionally smaller. We also give a kind of 2318 03:04:06,080 --> 03:04:10,400 Speaker 71: immortality to the person who left us, because their work 2319 03:04:11,120 --> 03:04:15,320 Speaker 71: continues through us. A couple of days ago, my niece 2320 03:04:15,680 --> 03:04:21,320 Speaker 71: or my granddaughter, left for college in Europe. Her mother 2321 03:04:21,480 --> 03:04:24,520 Speaker 71: noticed that she packed a Bible, and her mother asked 2322 03:04:24,520 --> 03:04:27,640 Speaker 71: her why she made that choice. She said, I want 2323 03:04:27,680 --> 03:04:29,000 Speaker 71: to live more like Charlie. 2324 03:04:30,080 --> 03:04:30,760 Speaker 25: And it says. 2325 03:04:39,040 --> 03:04:42,080 Speaker 71: In one of my first conversations with Charlie in July 2326 03:04:42,240 --> 03:04:45,440 Speaker 71: of twenty twenty one, we were talking about the risks 2327 03:04:45,480 --> 03:04:48,280 Speaker 71: that all of us take when we challenge and trend's interest, 2328 03:04:48,360 --> 03:04:51,120 Speaker 71: the physical risk, and he asked me if I was 2329 03:04:51,160 --> 03:04:54,160 Speaker 71: scared of dying, and I said to him, there's a 2330 03:04:54,240 --> 03:04:57,959 Speaker 71: lot worse things than death, And one of those things 2331 03:04:58,800 --> 03:05:01,800 Speaker 71: is if we lost our institutional rights in this country 2332 03:05:02,640 --> 03:05:13,880 Speaker 71: and that our children were raised as slaves. And I 2333 03:05:14,040 --> 03:05:18,320 Speaker 71: said to Charlie, I said, sometimes the best consolation we 2334 03:05:18,400 --> 03:05:21,280 Speaker 71: can hope for is that we get to die with 2335 03:05:21,400 --> 03:05:24,960 Speaker 71: our boots on. Well, Charlie died with his boots on, 2336 03:05:25,800 --> 03:05:29,000 Speaker 71: and he died to us to make sure that we 2337 03:05:29,200 --> 03:05:33,840 Speaker 71: didn't have to undergo those fates that are worse than death. 2338 03:05:35,200 --> 03:05:36,720 Speaker 18: Oh, let's remember Charlie. 2339 03:05:37,560 --> 03:05:42,280 Speaker 71: He was For those of us who were friends with Charlie, 2340 03:05:43,240 --> 03:05:46,680 Speaker 71: we don't need any more evidence of the love of God, 2341 03:05:47,640 --> 03:05:52,920 Speaker 71: because the evidence of friendship is the best evidence that 2342 03:05:53,040 --> 03:05:53,840 Speaker 71: God loves us. 2343 03:05:53,879 --> 03:05:54,000 Speaker 8: All. 2344 03:05:54,640 --> 03:05:55,800 Speaker 10: Thank you and God bless you. 2345 03:06:03,600 --> 03:06:05,879 Speaker 12: Incredible right there, keeps on going. 2346 03:06:07,560 --> 03:06:10,440 Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of folks leading We're going 2347 03:06:10,480 --> 03:06:13,240 Speaker 1: to continue to see leading in this exact vain after Charlie. 2348 03:06:13,240 --> 03:06:14,760 Speaker 44: But you were saying, Don Junior, Don. 2349 03:06:14,760 --> 03:06:18,880 Speaker 12: Juniorder comes Don Junior nods and talks so farward, just 2350 03:06:18,959 --> 03:06:22,360 Speaker 12: in front, forcing the spiritual side that we started office. 2351 03:06:23,160 --> 03:06:25,400 Speaker 12: It's continued all the way through, which thing is great. 2352 03:06:25,520 --> 03:06:28,480 Speaker 12: Let's go to the main stage. Donald Trump Junior. 2353 03:06:37,920 --> 03:06:41,480 Speaker 15: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome. Donald Trump Junior. 2354 03:06:53,840 --> 03:06:59,039 Speaker 7: Welcome everyone. I'm not widely known for being a sentimental guy. 2355 03:06:59,640 --> 03:07:03,360 Speaker 7: Anyone who's seen me on social media knows I'm far 2356 03:07:03,440 --> 03:07:06,040 Speaker 7: more likely to crack a joke or get myself in 2357 03:07:06,120 --> 03:07:10,320 Speaker 7: trouble for posting some grossly inappropriate memes than i am 2358 03:07:10,400 --> 03:07:13,840 Speaker 7: to shed a tear. I know this because I've even 2359 03:07:13,840 --> 03:07:15,520 Speaker 7: gotten the call from that guy a couple of times. 2360 03:07:16,800 --> 03:07:23,520 Speaker 7: You know, done done, you're getting a little aggressive and 2361 03:07:23,640 --> 03:07:24,800 Speaker 7: social media done. 2362 03:07:25,040 --> 03:07:25,480 Speaker 6: Relax. 2363 03:07:41,760 --> 03:07:46,120 Speaker 7: But last week when I received word that Charlie, who 2364 03:07:46,280 --> 03:07:48,800 Speaker 7: was like a little brother to me, had been assassinated, 2365 03:07:49,520 --> 03:07:53,360 Speaker 7: I was truly devastated. We all were, and we're here 2366 03:07:53,520 --> 03:07:59,160 Speaker 7: today to celebrate the way he lived his life and 2367 03:07:59,280 --> 03:08:02,680 Speaker 7: to remember the way he changed so many of ours. 2368 03:08:04,200 --> 03:08:06,560 Speaker 7: So I want to start where I know Charlie would 2369 03:08:06,560 --> 03:08:10,400 Speaker 7: want me to with what was most important to him, 2370 03:08:11,200 --> 03:08:23,120 Speaker 7: and that was his relationship with Christ. To say Charlie 2371 03:08:23,360 --> 03:08:26,680 Speaker 7: knew more about the Bible than me is an understatement, folks. 2372 03:08:28,040 --> 03:08:31,400 Speaker 7: It's like saying Donald Trump knows more about being president 2373 03:08:31,480 --> 03:08:44,920 Speaker 7: than Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris. No kidding, But when 2374 03:08:45,080 --> 03:08:47,840 Speaker 7: Charlie was asked in an interview how he'd want to 2375 03:08:47,879 --> 03:08:51,640 Speaker 7: be remembered, he said, I want to be remembered for 2376 03:08:51,760 --> 03:08:52,720 Speaker 7: my courage. 2377 03:08:52,520 --> 03:08:53,240 Speaker 37: For my faith. 2378 03:08:54,000 --> 03:08:57,640 Speaker 7: And let me tell you, guys, those were not empty words. 2379 03:08:59,200 --> 03:09:03,320 Speaker 7: Last week, Charlie joined a long line of courageous men 2380 03:09:03,560 --> 03:09:12,040 Speaker 7: and women who were martyred for what they believe. According 2381 03:09:12,160 --> 03:09:15,800 Speaker 7: to the Book of Acts, the first martyr in the 2382 03:09:15,879 --> 03:09:20,000 Speaker 7: early Christian Church was Stephen, who was stoned to death. 2383 03:09:21,120 --> 03:09:25,320 Speaker 7: And as Stephen was being killed, he said, behold, I 2384 03:09:25,440 --> 03:09:28,600 Speaker 7: see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing 2385 03:09:29,600 --> 03:09:34,840 Speaker 7: standing at the right hand of God. Now there are 2386 03:09:34,920 --> 03:09:37,440 Speaker 7: many times in the Bible where Jesus is seated at 2387 03:09:37,480 --> 03:09:40,400 Speaker 7: the right hand of God, but this is the only 2388 03:09:40,520 --> 03:09:46,080 Speaker 7: time he's seen standing. And while the Bible isn't explicit 2389 03:09:46,160 --> 03:09:50,679 Speaker 7: about this, I like to think Jesus was standing. 2390 03:09:50,680 --> 03:09:54,880 Speaker 18: To welcome Stephen. The courageous martyr into heaven. 2391 03:10:01,879 --> 03:10:07,560 Speaker 7: And today today that gives me great comfort because eleven 2392 03:10:07,680 --> 03:10:11,800 Speaker 7: days ago, as a cowardly assassin crawled on his stomach 2393 03:10:11,879 --> 03:10:17,160 Speaker 7: to end Charlie's life on earth, I'm betting Charlie saw 2394 03:10:17,280 --> 03:10:20,840 Speaker 7: the Son of God standing tall to welcome him home. 2395 03:10:32,840 --> 03:10:35,760 Speaker 7: I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the greatest treasures 2396 03:10:36,280 --> 03:10:40,240 Speaker 7: of Charlie's heart, his beautiful wife, Erica, and his two 2397 03:10:40,640 --> 03:10:46,879 Speaker 7: precious children. To watch Charlie with his family, the joy 2398 03:10:47,040 --> 03:10:50,920 Speaker 7: on his face, the devotion in his eyes, was to 2399 03:10:51,120 --> 03:10:53,920 Speaker 7: see the Gospel lived out. 2400 03:10:57,800 --> 03:11:01,480 Speaker 18: And for me, for me, it was inspiring. 2401 03:11:03,040 --> 03:11:08,280 Speaker 7: And now, in the face of unthinkable loss, Erica has 2402 03:11:08,360 --> 03:11:13,560 Speaker 7: shown extraordinary courage, not only as a mother, but in 2403 03:11:13,680 --> 03:11:17,680 Speaker 7: stepping forward to carry on Charlie's mission as the CEO 2404 03:11:18,160 --> 03:11:30,200 Speaker 7: of Turning Point USA. Charlie always brought out the best 2405 03:11:30,360 --> 03:11:34,080 Speaker 7: in all of us. When Charlie first said to me 2406 03:11:34,280 --> 03:11:38,560 Speaker 7: during the twenty sixteen campaign, Hey, let's start doing events 2407 03:11:38,600 --> 03:11:43,119 Speaker 7: on college campuses, I was like, WHOA, seriously, come on, man, 2408 03:11:43,959 --> 03:11:46,280 Speaker 7: we've given up on that. We're gonna let those kids 2409 03:11:46,360 --> 03:11:49,879 Speaker 7: grow up and we'll get them when they start paying taxes. 2410 03:11:53,120 --> 03:11:56,880 Speaker 7: But he convinced me to give it a shot, and 2411 03:11:56,959 --> 03:11:59,640 Speaker 7: there were a couple events that showed just how brave 2412 03:12:00,120 --> 03:12:03,320 Speaker 7: and courageous Charlie was, even as a very young man. 2413 03:12:04,959 --> 03:12:08,959 Speaker 7: At Michigan State University, five minutes before we were supposed 2414 03:12:09,000 --> 03:12:12,960 Speaker 7: to go on stage, the state police told us, and 2415 03:12:13,040 --> 03:12:18,360 Speaker 7: I quote, we can no longer guarantee your safety because 2416 03:12:18,400 --> 03:12:20,720 Speaker 7: the left wing activists they were going crazy. 2417 03:12:21,800 --> 03:12:22,320 Speaker 18: It was rough. 2418 03:12:23,879 --> 03:12:26,520 Speaker 7: That sounded like a great reason to pack it up 2419 03:12:26,920 --> 03:12:30,080 Speaker 7: and head out. But it was one of the many 2420 03:12:30,280 --> 03:12:35,640 Speaker 7: times that I would agree with Charlie who said, no way, 2421 03:12:36,280 --> 03:12:37,520 Speaker 7: We're going out there anyway. 2422 03:12:46,200 --> 03:12:47,279 Speaker 18: At one of the last. 2423 03:12:47,080 --> 03:12:50,120 Speaker 7: Events of the twenty twenty four campaign at Arizona State, 2424 03:12:51,000 --> 03:12:53,200 Speaker 7: some lunatic called it a threat to try to keep 2425 03:12:53,280 --> 03:12:56,920 Speaker 7: us from going on the stage again. We went out 2426 03:12:56,920 --> 03:13:02,800 Speaker 7: there anyway without fear. Charlie led the way. His message 2427 03:13:03,120 --> 03:13:08,520 Speaker 7: was clear then and his message is clear now. We 2428 03:13:09,160 --> 03:13:24,560 Speaker 7: won't back down. We won't be intimidated. The Bible says 2429 03:13:24,720 --> 03:13:27,880 Speaker 7: over one hundred times in the pages of Scripture, do 2430 03:13:28,080 --> 03:13:31,840 Speaker 7: not be afraid. And the one hundred thousand people here 2431 03:13:31,959 --> 03:13:38,640 Speaker 7: today are a signal to the world. Our message of faith, family, 2432 03:13:39,080 --> 03:13:52,360 Speaker 7: and country will not be silenced. It always amazes me 2433 03:13:52,440 --> 03:13:56,040 Speaker 7: how Charlie chose to use his platform. He had one 2434 03:13:56,080 --> 03:14:00,320 Speaker 7: of the largest microphones in the entire conservative movement, and 2435 03:14:00,440 --> 03:14:04,480 Speaker 7: what did he do with it? Day after day, week 2436 03:14:04,800 --> 03:14:07,800 Speaker 7: after week. He handed it to the very people who 2437 03:14:07,879 --> 03:14:08,600 Speaker 7: opposed him. 2438 03:14:08,720 --> 03:14:09,000 Speaker 68: Most. 2439 03:14:11,040 --> 03:14:14,800 Speaker 7: The media tried to smear him as some sort of 2440 03:14:14,879 --> 03:14:20,640 Speaker 7: dangerous radical, but Charlie embodied something at the very core 2441 03:14:20,720 --> 03:14:25,360 Speaker 7: of our movement. When people disagree with us, we don't 2442 03:14:25,440 --> 03:14:30,400 Speaker 7: silence them, we don't destroy them, and we certainly don't 2443 03:14:30,720 --> 03:14:43,680 Speaker 7: sink to violence. We don't burn down their businesses, we 2444 03:14:43,800 --> 03:14:49,800 Speaker 7: don't scream at their children at Disneyland. No, we debate, 2445 03:14:50,879 --> 03:15:02,840 Speaker 7: we stand tall, and we win with our ideas. The 2446 03:15:02,959 --> 03:15:07,400 Speaker 7: true extremists are those who would justify and celebrate taking 2447 03:15:07,520 --> 03:15:12,920 Speaker 7: an innocent life over nothing more than disagreement. That is 2448 03:15:13,240 --> 03:15:24,800 Speaker 7: the real radicalism, and we reject it completely. Charlie delighted 2449 03:15:25,480 --> 03:15:29,720 Speaker 7: in his belief that people could be persuaded. He believed 2450 03:15:29,800 --> 03:15:34,160 Speaker 7: the way to win hearts was with truth, with courage, 2451 03:15:34,640 --> 03:15:39,160 Speaker 7: and with conversation. He would always be the first to say, 2452 03:15:39,640 --> 03:15:44,120 Speaker 7: you are welcome here, and that's what I want to 2453 03:15:44,200 --> 03:15:49,680 Speaker 7: leave you with today. If we're truly gonna honor Charlie properly. 2454 03:15:50,560 --> 03:15:55,200 Speaker 7: His loss cannot be the end of the story.

We gather here in this 2547 03:23:55,520 --> 03:24:01,640 Speaker 60: stadium and the hot Arizona sun shielded in a great 2548 03:24:01,720 --> 03:24:06,880 Speaker 60: shining city. Our fathers raised out of the desert, and 2549 03:24:07,080 --> 03:24:13,279 Speaker 60: from this desert, Charlie Kirk built a movement. He transformed 2550 03:24:13,320 --> 03:24:16,840 Speaker 60: the face of conservatism in our own time, and in 2551 03:24:16,959 --> 03:24:22,120 Speaker 60: doing so, he changed the course of American history to 2552 03:24:22,280 --> 03:24:29,280 Speaker 60: rising generations across this country. Charlie exemplified kindness, courage, and 2553 03:24:29,360 --> 03:24:31,080 Speaker 60: a commitment to open debate. 2554 03:24:32,120 --> 03:24:34,280 Speaker 18: And he was a great debater, and we loved him 2555 03:24:34,320 --> 03:24:34,480 Speaker 18: for it. 2556 03:24:35,640 --> 03:24:38,560 Speaker 60: But Charlie loved debate not because he excelled at it, 2557 03:24:39,080 --> 03:24:41,880 Speaker 60: but because it was the vehicle for bringing the light 2558 03:24:42,080 --> 03:24:46,080 Speaker 60: of truth to dark places. And Charlie Kirk brought many 2559 03:24:46,160 --> 03:24:56,320 Speaker 60: truths in his life. Charlie brought the truth that young 2560 03:24:56,400 --> 03:24:59,360 Speaker 60: people deserved a stake in the future, and that they 2561 03:24:59,480 --> 03:25:04,320 Speaker 60: deserve to have a voice. He brought the truth that 2562 03:25:04,600 --> 03:25:08,640 Speaker 60: marriage and family were the highest callings, far more important 2563 03:25:08,640 --> 03:25:13,879 Speaker 60: than any job or educational credential. He brought the truth 2564 03:25:15,440 --> 03:25:19,200 Speaker 60: that our nation would fade unless it brought order to 2565 03:25:19,320 --> 03:25:24,000 Speaker 60: its neighborhoods and prosperity to its people. He brought the 2566 03:25:24,120 --> 03:25:28,120 Speaker 60: truth that life was precious and we must fight to 2567 03:25:28,200 --> 03:25:29,440 Speaker 60: protect it at. 2568 03:25:29,360 --> 03:25:31,240 Speaker 39: All stages and at all times. 2569 03:25:39,360 --> 03:25:43,720 Speaker 60: But most of all, Charlie brought the truth that Jesus 2570 03:25:43,840 --> 03:25:46,480 Speaker 60: Christ was the King of kings, and that all truth 2571 03:25:46,560 --> 03:25:57,400 Speaker 60: flowed from this first and most important one. But Charlie, 2572 03:25:57,840 --> 03:26:00,120 Speaker 60: he did so much more than tell the truth if 2573 03:26:00,160 --> 03:26:04,280 Speaker 60: he lived it. Charlie understood that the best evangelization was 2574 03:26:04,360 --> 03:26:07,120 Speaker 60: not in what you said, but in how you live 2575 03:26:07,240 --> 03:26:10,959 Speaker 60: your life. And in this city he lived his life well. 2576 03:26:11,080 --> 03:26:15,360 Speaker 60: He raised a wonderful family. He had a beautiful wife, 2577 03:26:15,840 --> 03:26:20,120 Speaker 60: two beloved children, and a loving and godly home. In 2578 03:26:20,240 --> 03:26:23,959 Speaker 60: this he showed us the importance of family. He lived 2579 03:26:24,000 --> 03:26:27,120 Speaker 60: three decades. He had on this earth with a sense 2580 03:26:27,280 --> 03:26:31,360 Speaker 60: of Christian virtue that would make any man, any person, proud, 2581 03:26:31,840 --> 03:26:34,879 Speaker 60: And in this he showed the importance of following God. 2582 03:26:36,040 --> 03:26:39,120 Speaker 60: He was a kind hearted man, a hard working person, 2583 03:26:39,840 --> 03:26:42,960 Speaker 60: and any parent would be proud to have him as 2584 03:26:43,000 --> 03:26:46,759 Speaker 60: a son. In this he showed the virtue of industriousness. 2585 03:26:47,879 --> 03:26:51,720 Speaker 60: He was present and loving, as any child would hope 2586 03:26:52,120 --> 03:26:54,879 Speaker 60: of his or her father, and in this he showed 2587 03:26:54,920 --> 03:26:58,360 Speaker 60: the importance of strong Christian fatherhood. 2588 03:27:06,560 --> 03:27:09,320 Speaker 39: He was fearless, and he was bold, as any. 2589 03:27:09,480 --> 03:27:13,040 Speaker 60: Follower would hope would be true of a leader, and 2590 03:27:13,160 --> 03:27:16,160 Speaker 60: in this he showed all of us how to carry 2591 03:27:16,240 --> 03:27:17,680 Speaker 60: on after his death. 2592 03:27:18,760 --> 03:27:21,520 Speaker 39: You know, Charlie Kirky loved history. He devoured the. 2593 03:27:21,640 --> 03:27:26,920 Speaker 60: Ideas that formed the foundation of our civilization. He stood 2594 03:27:27,040 --> 03:27:30,840 Speaker 60: for a tradition that Socrates established two thousand. 2595 03:27:30,640 --> 03:27:35,959 Speaker 18: Five hundred years ago, to question, to search, and to teach. 2596 03:27:37,280 --> 03:27:41,640 Speaker 60: He was Athens and Jerusalem, the city of Reason and 2597 03:27:41,760 --> 03:27:45,280 Speaker 60: the City of God in one person. But if he 2598 03:27:45,360 --> 03:27:50,880 Speaker 60: loved those places, they were not his home. America was 2599 03:27:51,040 --> 03:27:53,039 Speaker 60: his home, and he was willing to. 2600 03:27:53,160 --> 03:27:53,640 Speaker 39: Die for it. 2601 03:28:01,879 --> 03:28:06,199 Speaker 60: You know, Charlie, he loved this country with a contagious intensity. 2602 03:28:06,520 --> 03:28:09,080 Speaker 60: Anybody who talked to him knew it and felt it. 2603 03:28:09,680 --> 03:28:12,280 Speaker 60: He knew that America was a beautiful place and we 2604 03:28:12,400 --> 03:28:16,080 Speaker 60: had these incredible ideas. But he also knew that our 2605 03:28:16,160 --> 03:28:20,920 Speaker 60: country was a covenant between the generation's past, present, and future. 2606 03:28:21,640 --> 03:28:24,960 Speaker 60: He believed this country's best days were not behind us, 2607 03:28:25,320 --> 03:28:28,000 Speaker 60: but ahead of us. But he knew those better days 2608 03:28:28,040 --> 03:28:30,080 Speaker 60: would have to be earned. They would have to be 2609 03:28:30,240 --> 03:28:33,520 Speaker 60: worked for. We would have to sacrifice and work and 2610 03:28:33,640 --> 03:28:37,400 Speaker 60: tell the truth. He knew that America wouldn't be saved 2611 03:28:37,560 --> 03:28:40,800 Speaker 60: just by pulling together seminars or talking about the right 2612 03:28:40,920 --> 03:28:43,080 Speaker 60: kind of books in front of the right kind of people. 2613 03:28:43,920 --> 03:28:49,920 Speaker 60: The movement which he created demanded more. It demanded courage, 2614 03:28:50,360 --> 03:28:54,560 Speaker 60: It demanded hard work, It demanded building, and it demanded leaders. 2615 03:28:54,680 --> 03:28:58,000 Speaker 60: And my friends and Charlie Kirk, we found a great 2616 03:28:58,280 --> 03:29:10,280 Speaker 60: American leader. Now our whole administration is here. But not 2617 03:29:10,520 --> 03:29:12,920 Speaker 60: just because we love Charlie as a friend, even though 2618 03:29:13,000 --> 03:29:16,280 Speaker 60: we did, but because we know we wouldn't be here 2619 03:29:16,440 --> 03:29:23,959 Speaker 60: without him. Charlie built an organization that reshaped the balance 2620 03:29:24,200 --> 03:29:28,840 Speaker 60: of our politics turning point, brought millions of young people 2621 03:29:29,320 --> 03:29:33,879 Speaker 60: into conversation with one another, brought millions of people into advocacy. 2622 03:29:34,000 --> 03:29:36,600 Speaker 60: He asked of us not just that we talk about 2623 03:29:36,720 --> 03:29:40,200 Speaker 60: saving our country, but that we actually go and do it, 2624 03:29:40,360 --> 03:29:52,520 Speaker 60: and we do it together. But even as Charlie built 2625 03:29:52,600 --> 03:29:56,160 Speaker 60: on a grand scale, his greatness was never only in 2626 03:29:56,280 --> 03:30:00,320 Speaker 60: his ambition. It was measured in the everyday moments well, 2627 03:30:00,440 --> 03:30:04,080 Speaker 60: in the way that he treated ordinary people each and 2628 03:30:04,240 --> 03:30:08,720 Speaker 60: every single day. You know, you learn a lot about 2629 03:30:08,800 --> 03:30:12,600 Speaker 60: someone by how they treat others when the cameras aren't on. 2630 03:30:13,680 --> 03:30:16,840 Speaker 60: Charlie treated staffers as well as he treated. 2631 03:30:16,800 --> 03:30:18,320 Speaker 39: The President of the United States. 2632 03:30:19,400 --> 03:30:21,720 Speaker 60: When I was just a guy pulling at nothing in 2633 03:30:21,879 --> 03:30:25,520 Speaker 60: my Senate race back in twenty twenty one, Charlie helped me, 2634 03:30:26,160 --> 03:30:29,080 Speaker 60: not because I was a future vice president, but because 2635 03:30:29,600 --> 03:30:32,840 Speaker 60: I was a dear friend. I saw just a couple 2636 03:30:32,879 --> 03:30:35,880 Speaker 60: of months ago, when a White House staffer struggled with 2637 03:30:36,000 --> 03:30:39,640 Speaker 60: the weight of his job and the responsibilities of new fatherhood. 2638 03:30:40,360 --> 03:30:43,840 Speaker 60: Charlie stopped what he was doing in the hallways of 2639 03:30:43,920 --> 03:30:46,760 Speaker 60: the West Wing and said a prayer for that staffer. 2640 03:30:47,959 --> 03:30:49,839 Speaker 39: Because Charlie believed. 2641 03:30:49,480 --> 03:30:52,560 Speaker 60: That we were all children of God, he treated everyone 2642 03:30:52,959 --> 03:30:57,320 Speaker 60: with grace, and that is perhaps the enduring legacy of 2643 03:30:57,520 --> 03:31:03,680 Speaker 60: Charlie Kirk. You know, I was telling somebody backstage that 2644 03:31:03,760 --> 03:31:07,120 Speaker 60: I always felt a little uncomfortable talking about my faith 2645 03:31:07,200 --> 03:31:09,680 Speaker 60: in public. As much as I loved the Lord, and 2646 03:31:09,760 --> 03:31:12,400 Speaker 60: as much as it was an important part of my life. 2647 03:31:13,160 --> 03:31:16,440 Speaker 60: I have talked more about Jesus Christ in the past 2648 03:31:16,480 --> 03:31:20,080 Speaker 60: two weeks than I have my entire time in public life. 2649 03:31:41,640 --> 03:31:46,240 Speaker 60: And that is an undeniable legacy of the great Charlie Kirk. 2650 03:31:46,320 --> 03:31:50,120 Speaker 60: You know, he loved God, and because he loved God, 2651 03:31:50,640 --> 03:31:54,280 Speaker 60: he wanted to understand God's creation and the men and 2652 03:31:54,440 --> 03:31:56,440 Speaker 60: women made in his image. 2653 03:31:57,560 --> 03:31:58,440 Speaker 39: Now, much has been. 2654 03:31:58,440 --> 03:32:02,200 Speaker 60: Said over the last week about Charlie's ability to approach 2655 03:32:02,760 --> 03:32:06,560 Speaker 60: any topic, any person in good faith, an achievement that 2656 03:32:06,760 --> 03:32:11,320 Speaker 60: was only possible because Charlie knew that we were all 2657 03:32:11,760 --> 03:32:17,080 Speaker 60: children of God. He knew deep down the truth of Scripture, 2658 03:32:17,800 --> 03:32:22,480 Speaker 60: and from that confidence everything else flowed. That unshakable belief 2659 03:32:22,760 --> 03:32:26,120 Speaker 60: in the Gospel led him to see differences in opinion 2660 03:32:26,720 --> 03:32:30,960 Speaker 60: not as battlefields to conquer, but as waste stations in 2661 03:32:31,040 --> 03:32:35,120 Speaker 60: the pursuit of truth. He knew it was right to 2662 03:32:35,240 --> 03:32:41,760 Speaker 60: love others, your neighbor, your interlocutor, your enemy. But he 2663 03:32:41,840 --> 03:32:45,000 Speaker 60: also understood his duty to say what is right and 2664 03:32:45,120 --> 03:32:48,840 Speaker 60: what is wrong, to distinguish what is false from what 2665 03:32:49,200 --> 03:33:03,960 Speaker 60: is true. Charlie was slain doing what he loved, telling 2666 03:33:04,040 --> 03:33:09,440 Speaker 60: the truth, proclaiming his faith, building out a dream. And 2667 03:33:09,560 --> 03:33:13,280 Speaker 60: now he's gone, and our hearts feel so empty because 2668 03:33:13,280 --> 03:33:16,840 Speaker 60: he's been taken from us. He's been taken from his 2669 03:33:17,000 --> 03:33:20,720 Speaker 60: parents and from his sister. He has been taken from 2670 03:33:20,760 --> 03:33:24,880 Speaker 60: our darling, Erica and their beautiful children. And Erica, I 2671 03:33:25,040 --> 03:33:28,160 Speaker 60: know I speak for this entire auditorium when I say 2672 03:33:28,600 --> 03:33:31,720 Speaker 60: that we love you and we will never stop standing 2673 03:33:31,800 --> 03:33:33,920 Speaker 60: by your side, just as Charlie did. 2674 03:33:45,800 --> 03:33:47,039 Speaker 39: He was taken from us. 2675 03:33:48,520 --> 03:33:54,200 Speaker 60: By those who despise the virtues that actually made our 2676 03:33:54,320 --> 03:34:02,400 Speaker 60: civilization great, to begin with dialogue, truth seeking, family, and faith. 2677 03:34:03,920 --> 03:34:06,600 Speaker 60: In the wake of his death, we have seen some 2678 03:34:06,720 --> 03:34:11,640 Speaker 60: of the very worst parts of humanity. We have watched 2679 03:34:12,360 --> 03:34:16,560 Speaker 60: people slander him. We have watched people justify his murder 2680 03:34:17,400 --> 03:34:19,000 Speaker 60: and celebrate his death. 2681 03:34:21,040 --> 03:34:22,280 Speaker 18: I know that this makes you. 2682 03:34:22,400 --> 03:34:26,000 Speaker 60: Angry, just as it has made me angry. But it 2683 03:34:26,120 --> 03:34:28,800 Speaker 60: is easy in these moments to see only the worst 2684 03:34:29,520 --> 03:34:34,800 Speaker 60: of our fellow man. I found myself wishing that I 2685 03:34:34,840 --> 03:34:37,800 Speaker 60: could pick up the phone and talk to my friend 2686 03:34:38,600 --> 03:34:42,280 Speaker 60: and ask him for his advice in his council, to 2687 03:34:42,360 --> 03:34:45,480 Speaker 60: ask him how to respond to such hate and the 2688 03:34:45,600 --> 03:34:50,000 Speaker 60: souls from which that hate springs. But I can't call 2689 03:34:50,080 --> 03:34:53,360 Speaker 60: my friend because he was murdered for speaking the truth. 2690 03:34:54,840 --> 03:34:58,240 Speaker 60: I can only guess at what he might say and 2691 03:34:58,400 --> 03:35:01,840 Speaker 60: what he would encourage me to do. And here's what 2692 03:35:01,959 --> 03:35:05,520 Speaker 60: I think. I think he would encourage me to be 2693 03:35:05,680 --> 03:35:10,680 Speaker 60: honest that evil still walks among us, not to ignore 2694 03:35:10,720 --> 03:35:14,400 Speaker 60: it for the sake of a fake Kumbaya moment, but 2695 03:35:14,560 --> 03:35:18,119 Speaker 60: to address it head on and honestly as the sickness 2696 03:35:18,200 --> 03:35:31,640 Speaker 60: that it is. But I also think he would encourage me. 2697 03:35:31,800 --> 03:35:34,959 Speaker 60: He would encourage all of us to focus on the good. 2698 03:35:35,840 --> 03:35:39,200 Speaker 60: He would encourage us to remember that for every hateful 2699 03:35:39,320 --> 03:35:43,320 Speaker 60: voice celebrating his murder, there are a thousand people mourning 2700 03:35:43,400 --> 03:35:44,959 Speaker 60: it and fighting for his legacy. 2701 03:35:45,120 --> 03:35:56,400 Speaker 39: Every single day, he would tell me to pray. 2702 03:35:57,040 --> 03:35:59,920 Speaker 60: I'm certain of it. He would tell me to pray 2703 03:36:00,560 --> 03:36:04,959 Speaker 60: for my friends, but also for my enemies. He would 2704 03:36:05,000 --> 03:36:07,920 Speaker 60: tell me to put on the full armor of God 2705 03:36:08,160 --> 03:36:20,560 Speaker 60: and get back to work. He would tell us to 2706 03:36:20,680 --> 03:36:23,960 Speaker 60: commit ourselves to telling the truth and to fight for 2707 03:36:24,080 --> 03:36:28,760 Speaker 60: that truth each and every single day. He would tell 2708 03:36:28,840 --> 03:36:31,840 Speaker 60: us to talk about God's love and the fact that 2709 03:36:31,959 --> 03:36:39,280 Speaker 60: that love applied everybody across the whole human family. Charlie 2710 03:36:39,680 --> 03:36:42,920 Speaker 60: suffered a terrible fate. My friends, we all know it, 2711 03:36:43,480 --> 03:36:47,840 Speaker 60: we all saw it, but think it is not the 2712 03:36:48,080 --> 03:36:52,320 Speaker 60: worst fate. It is better to face a gunman than 2713 03:36:52,360 --> 03:37:05,200 Speaker 60: to live your life afraid to speak the truth. It 2714 03:37:05,360 --> 03:37:08,200 Speaker 60: is better to be persecuted for your faith than to 2715 03:37:08,320 --> 03:37:18,520 Speaker 60: deny the kingship of Christ. It is better to die 2716 03:37:18,720 --> 03:37:21,440 Speaker 60: a young man in this world than to sell your 2717 03:37:21,520 --> 03:37:23,000 Speaker 60: soul for an easy life with. 2718 03:37:23,160 --> 03:37:34,520 Speaker 39: No purpose, no risk, no love, and no truth. Christ 2719 03:37:34,640 --> 03:37:36,879 Speaker 39: told us in the Gospel of John. I have said 2720 03:37:36,959 --> 03:37:37,840 Speaker 39: these things. 2721 03:37:37,640 --> 03:37:41,640 Speaker 60: To you that in me you may have peace. In 2722 03:37:41,760 --> 03:37:46,640 Speaker 60: the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart. I 2723 03:37:46,760 --> 03:38:00,120 Speaker 60: have overcome the world. Charlie took heart, and now we 2724 03:38:00,760 --> 03:38:04,800 Speaker 60: must do the same. I've seen so many of you say, 2725 03:38:04,920 --> 03:38:09,560 Speaker 60: so many on social media talk about for Charlie. We 2726 03:38:09,760 --> 03:38:13,279 Speaker 60: must do this for Charlie. For Charlie, we will speak 2727 03:38:13,400 --> 03:38:14,920 Speaker 60: the truth every single day. 2728 03:38:24,080 --> 03:38:24,720 Speaker 39: For Charlie. 2729 03:38:25,080 --> 03:38:28,640 Speaker 60: We will rebuild this United States of America to greatness. 2730 03:38:35,000 --> 03:38:38,119 Speaker 60: For Charlie, we will never shrink, we will never cower, 2731 03:38:38,400 --> 03:38:42,240 Speaker 60: and we will never falter, even when staring down the barrel. 2732 03:38:42,000 --> 03:38:52,720 Speaker 39: Of a gun. For Charlie, we will remember. 2733 03:38:52,480 --> 03:38:55,959 Speaker 60: That it is better to stand on our feet defending 2734 03:38:56,040 --> 03:38:59,440 Speaker 60: the United States of America and defending the truth than 2735 03:38:59,480 --> 03:39:00,520 Speaker 60: it is to die. 2736 03:39:00,560 --> 03:39:09,080 Speaker 39: On our knees. My friends. 2737 03:39:09,160 --> 03:39:12,039 Speaker 60: For Charlie, we must remember that he has a hero 2738 03:39:12,320 --> 03:39:14,920 Speaker 60: to the United States of America, and he is a 2739 03:39:15,160 --> 03:39:16,800 Speaker 60: martyr for the Christian faith. 2740 03:39:17,360 --> 03:39:20,800 Speaker 39: May Our Heavenly Father gives the courage to live as 2741 03:39:21,000 --> 03:39:21,760 Speaker 39: Charlie lived. 2742 03:39:22,160 --> 03:39:23,560 Speaker 18: That is what we must do. 2743 03:39:24,120 --> 03:39:26,880 Speaker 39: For Charlie. You ran a good race, my friend. 2744 03:39:27,240 --> 03:39:27,720 Speaker 18: I love you. 2745 03:39:28,080 --> 03:39:28,960 Speaker 39: We've got it from here. 2746 03:39:29,400 --> 03:39:29,720 Speaker 18: Thank you. 2747 03:39:35,879 --> 03:39:41,279 Speaker 12: The Vice President j D Vance in line with Tucker 2748 03:39:41,320 --> 03:39:42,120 Speaker 12: and Don JR. 2749 03:39:43,440 --> 03:39:45,280 Speaker 44: What do you calling it, Steve, I just saw a 2750 03:39:45,360 --> 03:39:46,360 Speaker 44: post you put up. 2751 03:39:46,879 --> 03:39:48,400 Speaker 12: I put up.

On the afternoon of September tenth, 2862 03:49:14,000 --> 03:49:17,200 Speaker 43: I arrived at a Utah hospital to do the unthinkable 2863 03:49:18,440 --> 03:49:25,720 Speaker 43: to look directly at my husband's murdered body. I saw 2864 03:49:25,840 --> 03:49:31,480 Speaker 43: the wound that ended his life. I felt everything you 2865 03:49:31,560 --> 03:49:38,520 Speaker 43: would expect to feel. I felt shock, I felt horror 2866 03:49:40,520 --> 03:49:43,480 Speaker 43: and a level of heartache. 2867 03:49:44,920 --> 03:49:51,280 Speaker 28: That I didn't even know existed.

Now 2872 03:50:11,880 --> 03:50:15,960 Speaker 43: he knows, sorry, baby, telling you now, but never told him. 2873 03:50:16,600 --> 03:50:17,120 Speaker 28: Didn't want to. 2874 03:50:20,600 --> 03:50:25,960 Speaker 41: I also saw this. I also saw on his lips. 2875 03:50:27,240 --> 03:50:35,880 Speaker 43: The faintest smile, and that told me something important. It 2876 03:50:36,040 --> 03:50:39,920 Speaker 43: revealed to me a great mercy from God in this tragedy. 2877 03:50:42,440 --> 03:50:46,760 Speaker 43: When I saw that, it told me Charlie didn't suffer. 2878 03:50:48,840 --> 03:50:50,000 Speaker 28: Even the doctor told me. 2879 03:50:51,640 --> 03:50:55,720 Speaker 43: It was something so instant that even even if Charlie 2880 03:50:55,800 --> 03:50:58,520 Speaker 43: had been shot in the operating room, it's itself. 2881 03:51:00,000 --> 03:51:00,960 Speaker 41: Nothing could have been done. 2882 03:51:02,800 --> 03:51:08,200 Speaker 28: There was no fane, there was no fear, no agony. 2883 03:51:08,320 --> 03:51:12,800 Speaker 43: One moment, Charlie was doing what he loved, arguing and 2884 03:51:12,920 --> 03:51:17,880 Speaker 43: debating on campus, fighting for the Gospel. 2885 03:51:19,400 --> 03:51:20,200 Speaker 26: And truth. 2886 03:51:21,920 --> 03:51:25,800 Speaker 28: In front of a big crowd, and then he blinked. 2887 03:51:27,720 --> 03:51:28,800 Speaker 41: He blinked. 2888 03:51:30,160 --> 03:51:46,920 Speaker 43: And saw his Savior in paradise, and all the heavenly 2889 03:51:47,040 --> 03:51:48,480 Speaker 43: mysteries were revealed to him. 2890 03:51:51,880 --> 03:51:52,840 Speaker 41: God's love. 2891 03:51:54,200 --> 03:51:56,760 Speaker 28: Continued to be revealed to me in the days that followed. 2892 03:52:00,440 --> 03:52:04,120 Speaker 43: The next day, on the tarmac and Air Force two, 2893 03:52:07,360 --> 03:52:14,920 Speaker 43: I confronted Usha Van's precious woman.

And one of the things he 2920 03:54:42,240 --> 03:54:42,600 Speaker 28: wrote in. 2921 03:54:42,640 --> 03:54:50,840 Speaker 43: His journal was this, every time you make a decision, 2922 03:54:52,240 --> 03:54:54,280 Speaker 43: it puts a mark on your soul. 2923 03:54:57,400 --> 03:54:58,080 Speaker 28: To those of you. 2924 03:54:59,600 --> 03:55:04,720 Speaker 43: Out there who just made that decision and took the 2925 03:55:04,800 --> 03:55:09,360 Speaker 43: first step toward a spiritual life, I say thank you 2926 03:55:09,640 --> 03:55:22,600 Speaker 43: and welcome. One day, I hope you look back and 2927 03:55:22,720 --> 03:55:25,400 Speaker 43: realize it was the most important decision of your life. 2928 03:55:26,360 --> 03:55:26,960 Speaker 28: Because it is. 2929 03:55:29,840 --> 03:55:35,560 Speaker 43: All of you, all of you who are already believers. 2930 03:55:35,720 --> 03:55:40,120 Speaker 43: It is your job to shepherd these people. Do not 2931 03:55:40,280 --> 03:55:47,760 Speaker 43: take that lightly. Water the seed of their faith, protect it, 2932 03:55:47,920 --> 03:55:54,760 Speaker 43: and help it grow. Every day, as Charlie rode into 2933 03:55:54,920 --> 03:56:00,400 Speaker 43: the office, he would go through his contact list. There's 2934 03:56:00,520 --> 03:56:03,920 Speaker 43: many of you who were impacted by this. He would 2935 03:56:03,960 --> 03:56:07,080 Speaker 43: go through his contact list and send Bible verses for 2936 03:56:07,200 --> 03:56:07,520 Speaker 43: the day. 2937 03:56:09,360 --> 03:56:10,880 Speaker 28: He knew that faith was a habit. 2938 03:56:12,720 --> 03:56:17,000 Speaker 43: The more you live it, the more it grows. But 2939 03:56:17,200 --> 03:56:22,520 Speaker 43: know this too, the seed has only just been planted. 2940 03:56:24,880 --> 03:56:28,800 Speaker 43: The enemy will tempt you the most in a time 2941 03:56:28,960 --> 03:56:32,760 Speaker 43: like this one. God will always be there for you. 2942 03:56:32,920 --> 03:56:38,600 Speaker 43: But you must choose to mark your soul again and 2943 03:56:38,760 --> 03:56:53,040 Speaker 43: again in the direction of Christ. Pray again, read the 2944 03:56:53,120 --> 03:56:58,000 Speaker 43: Bible again, go to church next Sunday and the Sunday 2945 03:56:58,080 --> 03:57:02,160 Speaker 43: after that, and break from the temptations and shackles of 2946 03:57:02,240 --> 03:57:02,760 Speaker 43: this world. 2947 03:57:13,320 --> 03:57:15,040 Speaker 28: Being a follower of Christ. 2948 03:57:14,840 --> 03:57:15,520 Speaker 41: Is not easy. 2949 03:57:17,000 --> 03:57:18,040 Speaker 28: It's not supposed to be. 2950 03:57:20,360 --> 03:57:21,160 Speaker 41: Jesus said, if. 2951 03:57:21,080 --> 03:57:25,040 Speaker 43: Anyone would come after me, let him deny himself, take 2952 03:57:25,160 --> 03:57:26,600 Speaker 43: up his cross and follow me. 2953 03:57:29,800 --> 03:57:32,320 Speaker 28: He said he would be persecuted. He said, we would 2954 03:57:32,360 --> 03:57:33,200 Speaker 28: be persecuted. 2955 03:57:33,240 --> 03:57:37,160 Speaker 43: And Charlie knew that unhappily carried his cross all the 2956 03:57:37,240 --> 03:57:42,360 Speaker 43: way to the end. And I want all of you 2957 03:57:42,480 --> 03:57:49,240 Speaker 43: to know, while Charlie died far too early, he was 2958 03:57:49,320 --> 03:57:55,360 Speaker 43: also ready to die. There was nothing, nothing he was 2959 03:57:55,440 --> 03:57:58,600 Speaker 43: putting off. There was nothing that was too hard or 2960 03:57:58,680 --> 03:58:02,560 Speaker 43: too painful, or nothing that he just felt like he 2961 03:58:02,640 --> 03:58:07,400 Speaker 43: didn't want to do it. He left this world without regrets. 2962 03:58:10,280 --> 03:58:12,280 Speaker 43: He did one hundred percent of what he could every day. 2963 03:58:14,600 --> 03:58:19,760 Speaker 43: But I want you to know something. Charlie died with 2964 03:58:20,240 --> 03:58:24,960 Speaker 43: incomplete work, but not with unfinished business. 2965 03:58:36,760 --> 03:58:43,560 Speaker 28: But I will miss him. I will miss him so 2966 03:58:43,840 --> 03:58:47,480 Speaker 28: much because our marriage and our family were beautiful. 2967 03:58:48,200 --> 03:58:49,000 Speaker 4: They still are. 2968 03:58:57,840 --> 03:59:00,320 Speaker 43: The greatest cause in Charlie's life was trying trying to 2969 03:59:00,400 --> 03:59:05,080 Speaker 43: revive the American family. When he spoke to young people, 2970 03:59:05,200 --> 03:59:08,160 Speaker 43: he was always eager to tell them about God's vision 2971 03:59:08,760 --> 03:59:13,080 Speaker 43: for marriage and how if they could just dare to 2972 03:59:13,160 --> 03:59:17,280 Speaker 43: live it out, it would enrich every part of their 2973 03:59:17,360 --> 03:59:22,000 Speaker 43: life in the same way that it enriched ours. And 2974 03:59:22,160 --> 03:59:27,360 Speaker 43: someone once asked me how Charlie and I that we 2975 03:59:27,520 --> 03:59:31,440 Speaker 43: kept our marriage so strong when he was busy traveling. 2976 03:59:34,920 --> 03:59:43,840 Speaker 43: In our little secret, it was love notes. Every Saturday, 2977 03:59:44,920 --> 03:59:48,440 Speaker 43: Charlie wrote one for me, and he never missed a Saturday, 2978 03:59:51,200 --> 03:59:53,800 Speaker 43: And in every single one of them, he'd tell me 2979 03:59:54,280 --> 03:59:58,360 Speaker 43: what his highlight was for the week, how grateful he 2980 03:59:58,560 --> 04:00:03,120 Speaker 43: was for me and our babies, and always at the 2981 04:00:03,320 --> 04:00:07,480 Speaker 43: end he would always end it with asking the most 2982 04:00:07,600 --> 04:00:13,920 Speaker 43: beautiful question. He'd always end it by asking, please let 2983 04:00:14,000 --> 04:00:15,400 Speaker 43: me know how I can better. 2984 04:00:15,400 --> 04:00:17,160 Speaker 41: Serve you as a husband. 2985 04:00:20,120 --> 04:00:26,840 Speaker 43: Charlie perfectly understood God's role for a Christian husband, a 2986 04:00:27,000 --> 04:00:28,520 Speaker 43: man who leads. 2987 04:00:30,400 --> 04:00:31,840 Speaker 41: So that they can serve. 2988 04:00:45,840 --> 04:00:50,840 Speaker 43: To all the men watching around the world. Accept Charlie's 2989 04:00:50,960 --> 04:01:00,840 Speaker 43: challenge and embrace true manhood. Be strong and courageous your families. 2990 04:01:04,560 --> 04:01:11,040 Speaker 43: Love your wives and lead them, Love your children and 2991 04:01:11,200 --> 04:01:11,960 Speaker 43: protect them. 2992 04:01:14,240 --> 04:01:16,080 Speaker 28: Be the spiritual head. 2993 04:01:17,560 --> 04:01:18,200 Speaker 39: Of your home. 2994 04:01:20,560 --> 04:01:23,640 Speaker 28: But please be a leader worth following. 2995 04:01:25,320 --> 04:01:39,520 Speaker 43: Your wife. Your wife is not your servant. Your wife 2996 04:01:39,720 --> 04:01:45,040 Speaker 43: is not your employee. Your wife is not your slave. 2997 04:01:47,040 --> 04:01:52,880 Speaker 43: She is your helper. You are not rivals. You are 2998 04:01:53,000 --> 04:02:10,120 Speaker 43: one flesh working together for the glory of God. I 2999 04:02:10,320 --> 04:02:17,640 Speaker 43: was Charlie's confidant. I was his vault, his closest and 3000 04:02:17,920 --> 04:02:23,600 Speaker 43: most trusted adviser, his best friend. I poured into him 3001 04:02:23,800 --> 04:02:29,600 Speaker 43: and loved him so deeply, empowered him because his love 3002 04:02:29,720 --> 04:02:33,920 Speaker 43: for me drove me to be a better wife. Every 3003 04:02:34,040 --> 04:02:36,520 Speaker 43: day he honored me, and I prayed that I could 3004 04:02:36,560 --> 04:02:38,880 Speaker 43: be the wife that God needed me to be for 3005 04:02:39,040 --> 04:02:43,600 Speaker 43: my husband. Women, I have a challenge for you too. 3006 04:02:46,280 --> 04:02:52,080 Speaker 43: Be virtuous. Our strength is found in God's design for 3007 04:02:52,240 --> 04:02:58,360 Speaker 43: our role. We are the guardians. We are the encouragers. 3008 04:03:00,120 --> 04:03:01,200 Speaker 43: We are the preservers. 3009 04:03:03,560 --> 04:03:10,280 Speaker 28: Guard your heart. Everything you do flows from it. And 3010 04:03:10,400 --> 04:03:11,960 Speaker 28: if you're a mother, please. 3011 04:03:12,040 --> 04:03:18,440 Speaker 43: Recognize that is the single most important ministry you have. 3012 04:03:29,560 --> 04:03:30,240 Speaker 41: In our home. 3013 04:03:31,480 --> 04:03:33,840 Speaker 43: Because Charlie traveled a lot, we tried to travel with 3014 04:03:33,960 --> 04:03:38,400 Speaker 43: him when we could. But I made sure that when 3015 04:03:38,480 --> 04:03:43,200 Speaker 43: Charlie returned from work, it was his sacred landing place. 3016 04:03:44,880 --> 04:03:52,320 Speaker 28: Away from the worries of the world. I didn't make 3017 04:03:52,400 --> 04:03:57,120 Speaker 28: him feel guilty for being away too long or too 3018 04:03:57,240 --> 04:04:01,920 Speaker 28: much getting home too late. I always told him home 3019 04:04:02,040 --> 04:04:04,960 Speaker 28: is here for you, and it'll be ready for you, 3020 04:04:07,040 --> 04:04:07,640 Speaker 28: and I made it. 3021 04:04:07,680 --> 04:04:11,080 Speaker 43: Into this place where he wanted to be as soon 3022 04:04:11,120 --> 04:04:13,160 Speaker 43: as possible when he was on the road. 3023 04:04:16,760 --> 04:04:18,480 Speaker 28: There was no keeping score between us. 3024 04:04:21,720 --> 04:04:26,160 Speaker 43: We were a team working together for the same mission. 3025 04:04:29,320 --> 04:04:31,840 Speaker 43: I never wanted to be the one standing between Charlie 3026 04:04:31,960 --> 04:04:38,160 Speaker 43: and the task that God prepared for him, had set 3027 04:04:38,200 --> 04:04:41,840 Speaker 43: for him, and I knew Charlie would always do his 3028 04:04:41,960 --> 04:04:47,680 Speaker 43: best to help me with the same. My marriage with 3029 04:04:47,880 --> 04:04:49,600 Speaker 43: Charlie was the best thing that ever happened to me, 3030 04:04:51,000 --> 04:04:52,240 Speaker 43: and I know it was the best thing that ever 3031 04:04:52,280 --> 04:04:53,080 Speaker 43: happened to him as well. 3032 04:04:54,880 --> 04:04:57,040 Speaker 28: He wanted everyone to experience. 3033 04:04:56,600 --> 04:05:03,280 Speaker 43: That joy, and that's what's so beautiful about God's design 3034 04:05:03,400 --> 04:05:04,800 Speaker 43: for marriage is that everyone can. 3035 04:05:08,600 --> 04:05:10,800 Speaker 28: I could talk endlessly about it in years to come. 3036 04:05:10,840 --> 04:05:14,600 Speaker 41: I will, but Charlie's. 3037 04:05:14,200 --> 04:05:19,920 Speaker 43: Mission, above all, was aimed directly at those who aren't married. 3038 04:05:22,160 --> 04:05:23,880 Speaker 28: He named his organization Well. 3039 04:05:25,320 --> 04:05:28,000 Speaker 43: He knew things were not right with America, and especially 3040 04:05:28,080 --> 04:05:31,560 Speaker 43: with young people, and they needed a new direction. 3041 04:05:34,400 --> 04:05:37,600 Speaker 28: Charlie passionately wanted to reach. 3042 04:05:37,640 --> 04:05:42,200 Speaker 43: And save the lost boys of the West, the young 3043 04:05:42,280 --> 04:05:46,480 Speaker 43: men who feel like they have no direction, no purpose. 3044 04:05:46,400 --> 04:05:48,080 Speaker 28: No faith, and no reason to live. 3045 04:05:50,680 --> 04:05:53,560 Speaker 43: The men wasting their lives on distractions, and the men 3046 04:05:53,720 --> 04:05:56,160 Speaker 43: consumed with resentment, anger and hate. 3047 04:05:59,160 --> 04:06:00,280 Speaker 28: Charlie wanted to help them. 3048 04:06:02,800 --> 04:06:06,040 Speaker 43: He wanted them to have a home with Turning Point, USA, 3049 04:06:07,160 --> 04:06:09,760 Speaker 43: and when he went on to campus, he was looking 3050 04:06:09,800 --> 04:06:14,200 Speaker 43: to show them a better path and a better life 3051 04:06:15,280 --> 04:06:18,400 Speaker 43: that was right there for the taking. He wanted to 3052 04:06:18,440 --> 04:06:30,520 Speaker 43: show them that my husband, Charlie, he wanted to save 3053 04:06:33,440 --> 04:06:37,840 Speaker 43: young men, just like the one who took his life, 3054 04:06:55,640 --> 04:06:56,560 Speaker 43: that young man. 3055 04:07:01,600 --> 04:07:02,200 Speaker 28: On the cross. 3056 04:07:02,320 --> 04:07:11,960 Speaker 72: Our Savior said, Father, forgive them, for they not know 3057 04:07:12,160 --> 04:07:12,800 Speaker 72: what they do. 3058 04:07:15,960 --> 04:08:12,600 Speaker 28: That man, that young man, I forgive him. I forgive 3059 04:08:12,680 --> 04:08:17,080 Speaker 28: him because it was what Christ did and is what 3060 04:08:17,640 --> 04:08:23,040 Speaker 28: Charlie would do. The answer to hate is not hate. 3061 04:08:24,920 --> 04:08:27,480 Speaker 43: The answer we know from the Gospel is love and 3062 04:08:27,680 --> 04:08:34,200 Speaker 43: always love, love for our enemies, and love for those 3063 04:08:34,280 --> 04:08:35,520 Speaker 43: who persecute us. 3064 04:08:39,320 --> 04:08:41,120 Speaker 28: The world needs Turning Point USA. 3065 04:08:43,200 --> 04:08:46,440 Speaker 43: It needs a group that will point young people away 3066 04:08:46,520 --> 04:08:48,640 Speaker 43: from the path of misery and sin. 3067 04:08:50,600 --> 04:08:52,880 Speaker 28: It needs something that will lead people away from. 3068 04:08:52,840 --> 04:08:56,960 Speaker 43: Hell in this world and in the next. It needs 3069 04:08:57,040 --> 04:08:59,920 Speaker 43: young people pointed in the direction of truth and viewing. 3070 04:09:03,480 --> 04:09:06,160 Speaker 43: And so I promise you today every part of our 3071 04:09:06,240 --> 04:09:12,840 Speaker 43: work will become greater. I am tremendously honored to be 3072 04:09:12,960 --> 04:09:14,960 Speaker 43: the new CEO of Turning Point USA. 3073 04:09:33,520 --> 04:09:34,880 Speaker 28: I do not take that lightly. 3074 04:09:36,480 --> 04:09:40,080 Speaker 43: Charlie and I were united in purpose. His passion was 3075 04:09:40,200 --> 04:09:45,280 Speaker 43: my passion, and now his mission is my mission. Everything 3076 04:09:45,360 --> 04:09:48,640 Speaker 43: that Turning Point USA built through Charlie's vision in hard work, 3077 04:09:49,920 --> 04:09:52,640 Speaker 43: we will make ten times greater through the power of 3078 04:09:52,720 --> 04:09:59,280 Speaker 43: his memory. Chapters will grow, thousands of new ones will 3079 04:09:59,280 --> 04:10:05,160 Speaker 43: be created. TPUSA Faith will add thousands of new pastors 3080 04:10:05,240 --> 04:10:19,000 Speaker 43: and congregations.
