1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:01,560
Speaker 1: The Michael Larry Show.

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 2: Hello, God, bless all of you for coming here from

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: all over the world.

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 3: To honor and celebrate my Charlie.

5
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 2: Just a few miles from here.

6
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 4: Two years ago, at America Fest twenty twenty three, Charlie

7
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 4: delivered a speech on stage for our TPUSA Faith event.

8
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: Charlie loves speaking off the cuff.

9
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 4: He's very good at that without a script, so I

10
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 4: personally didn't know what he was going to say, and

11
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 4: what he chose to speak about that day was his

12
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 4: submission to the will of God. He quoted one of

13
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 4: his favorite Bible verses, Isaiah chapter six, verse eight, Here

14
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 4: I am Lord, send me.

15
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: After Charlie finished, I met him.

16
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: Backstage and I spoke to him, and I'll never forget this.

17
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 4: I said, Charlie, baby, please talk to me next time

18
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 4: before you say that statement, because when you say something like.

19
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: That, there is so much power in that verse. When

20
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: you say, here, I am Lord, use me.

21
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 4: God will take you up on that, and he did

22
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 4: with Charlie.

23
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 2: Eleven days ago. God accepted that total surrender from my

24
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: husband and then called him to his side.

25
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 4: More than anything, Charlie wanted to do, not his will,

26
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 4: but God's will, and over these past eleven days, through

27
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 4: all the pain, never before have I found as much

28
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 4: comfort as I now do in the words of our

29
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 4: Lord's prayer.

30
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 5: Thy will be done.

31
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 4: God's love was revealed to me on the very day

32
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 4: my husband was murdered. On the afternoon of September tenth,

33
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 4: I arrived at a Utah hospital to do the unthinkable,

34
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 4: to look directly at my husband's murdered body. I saw

35
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 4: the wound that ended his life. I felt everything you

36
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 4: would expect to feel. I felt shock, I felt horror,

37
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 4: and a level of heartache that I didn't even know existed.

38
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: But there was something else too.

39
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 4: Even in death, I could see the man that I love.

40
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 4: I saw the one single gray hair on the side

41
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 4: of his head, which I never told him about. Now

42
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 4: he knows, sorry, baby, telling you now, but never told him.

43
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: Didn't want to. I also saw this. I also saw

44
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 2: on his lips.

45
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 4: The faintest smile, and that told me something important. It

46
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 4: revealed to me a great mercy from God in this tragedy.

47
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: When I saw that, it told me Charlie didn't suffer.

48
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 4: Even the doctor told me it was something so instant

49
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 4: that even even if Charlie had been shot in the

50
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 4: operating room. It's itself.

51
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 5: Nothing could have been done.

52
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: There was no fame, there was no fear, no agony.

53
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 4: One moment, Charlie was doing what he loved, arguing and

54
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 4: debating on campus.

55
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: Fighting for the Gospel.

56
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: And truth.

57
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: In front of a big crowd, and then he blinked.

58
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: He blinked and saw his Savior in paradise.

59
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 4: And all the heavenly mysteries were revealed to him.

60
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: God's love continued to be revealed to me in the

61
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: days that followed.

62
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 4: The next day, on the tarmac and air Force to

63
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 4: I confronted Usha Van's precious woman.

64
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: I held her.

65
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 4: Hand and I told her, honestly, I do not know

66
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: how I am going to get through this.

67
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: She told me something.

68
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 4: She said, you know, when you're on an airplane with

69
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 4: your kids and it's the last fifteen minutes of the

70
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 4: flight and things are crazy, kids are not cooperating, tours

71
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: are flying everywhere, and everyone's screaming, and you think to yourself,

72
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 4: I cannot wait for this flight to land, and it's

73
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes before you land.

74
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: And she told me, you will.

75
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 4: Get through these fifteen minutes. In the next fifteen minutes

76
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 4: after that.

77
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 2: Usha.

78
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 4: I don't think you realized it then, but those words

79
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 4: were exactly what I needed to hear. But most of all,

80
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: God's mercy and God's love have been revealed to me

81
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 4: these past ten days after Charlie's assassination. We didn't see violence,

82
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 4: we didn't see rioting, we didn't see revolution. Instead, we

83
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 4: saw what my husband always prayed he would see in

84
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 4: this country.

85
00:07:43,080 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: We saw revival. This past week. We saw people.

86
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 4: Open a Bible for the first time in a decade.

87
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 4: We saw people pray for the first time since they

88
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 4: were children.

89
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: We saw people go to a church service for the

90
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: first time in their entire lives. Charlie liked to.

91
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 4: Journal, and I say this because he did it to

92
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 4: remember important moments in sayings that affected him. And one

93
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 4: of the things he wrote in his journal was this,

94
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 4: every time you make.

95
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: A decision, it puts a mark on your soul.

96
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 4: To those of you out there who just made that

97
00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 4: decision and took the first step toward a spear rual life,

98
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 4: I say thank you and welcome. One day, I hope

99
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 4: you look back and realize it was the most important

100
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 4: decision of your life.

101
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: Because it is all of you.

102
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 4: All of you who are already believers. It is your

103
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 4: job to shepherd these people. Do not take that lightly.

104
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 4: Water the seed of their faith, protect it, and help

105
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 4: it grow. Every day as Charlie rode into the office,

106
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 4: he would go through his contact list, and I know

107
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 4: there's many of you who were impacted by this. He

108
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 4: would go through his contact list and said, Byible verses.

109
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 5: For the day.

110
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 4: He knew that faith was a habit. The more you

111
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 4: live it, the more it grows. But know this too,

112
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 4: the seed has only just been planted. The enemy will

113
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 4: tempt you the most in a time.

114
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 5: Like this one.

115
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 4: God will always be there for you, but you must

116
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 4: choose to mark your soul again and again in the

117
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 4: direction of Christ. Pray again, read the Bible again, go

118
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 4: to church next Sunday and the Sunday after that, and

119
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 4: break free from the temptations and shackles of this world.

120
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: Being a follower of Christ is not easy.

121
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: It's not supposed to be.

122
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 4: Jesus said, if anyone would come after me, let him

123
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 4: deny himself, take up his cross and follow me.

124
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 2: He said he would be persecuted. He said, we would

125
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: be persecuted.

126
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 4: And Charlie knew that unhappily carried his cross all the

127
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 4: way to the end.

128
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 2: And I want all of you to know, while Charlie

129
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 2: died far too early, he.

130
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 4: Was also ready to die. There was nothing, nothing he

131
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 4: was putting off. There was nothing that was too hard

132
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 4: or too painful, or nothing that he just felt like

133
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 4: he didn't want to do it.

134
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: He left this world without regrets. He did one hundred

135
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 2: percent of what he could every day. But I want

136
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: you to know something.

137
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 4: Charlie died with incomplete work, but not.

138
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 2: With unfinished business.

139
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 4: But I will miss him. I will miss him so

140
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 4: much because our marriage and our family were beautiful.

141
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: They still are.

142
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 4: The greatest cause in Charlie's life was trying to revive

143
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 4: the American family. When he spoke to young people, he

144
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 4: was always eager to tell them about God's vision for

145
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 4: marriage and how if they could just dare to live

146
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 4: it out, it would enrich every part of their life

147
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 4: in the same way that it enriched ours. And someone

148
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 4: once asked me how Charlie and I that.

149
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: We kept our marriage so strong when he was busy traveling.

150
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: In our little secret, it was love notes.

151
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 4: Every Saturday, Charlie wrote one for me, and he never

152
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 4: missed a Saturday and in every single one of them,

153
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 4: he'd tell me what his highlight.

154
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: Was for the week, how grateful he was for me

155
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: and our babies.

156
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 4: And always at the end, he would always end it

157
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:06,599
Speaker 4: with asking the most beautiful question. He'd always end it

158
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 4: by asking, please let me know how I can better

159
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 4: serve you as a husband. Charlie perfectly understood God's role

160
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 4: for a Christian husband, a.

161
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: Man who leads so that they can.

162
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 4: Serve to all the men watching around the world. Accept

163
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 4: Charlie's challenge and embrace true manhood. Be strong and courageous

164
00:14:53,800 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 4: for your families. Love your wives and lead them, Love

165
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 4: your children and protect them. Be the spiritual head of

166
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: your home. But please be a leader worth following your wife.

167
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 4: Your wife is not your servant. Your wife is not

168
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 4: your employee. Your wife is not your slave. She is

169
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 4: your helper. You are not rivals. You are one flesh

170
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 4: working together for the glory of God.

171
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: I was Charlie's confidant.

172
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 4: I was his volt, his closest and most trusted adviser,

173
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 4: his best friend. I poured into him and loved him

174
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 4: so deeply, empowered him.

175
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: Because his love for me drove me to be a

176
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: better wife.

177
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 4: Every day he honored me, and I prayed that I

178
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 4: could be the wife that God needed me to be

179
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 4: for my husband. Women, I have a challenge for you too,

180
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 4: be virtuous. Our strength is found in God's design for

181
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 4: our role. We are the guardians, We are the encouragers,

182
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 4: we are the preservers.

183
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: Guard your heart. Everything you do flows from it.

184
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 4: And if you're a mother, please recognize that is the

185
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 4: single most important ministry you have.

186
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: In our home.

187
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 4: Because Charlie traveled a lot, we tried to travel with

188
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 4: him when we could, but I made sure that when

189
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 4: Charlie returned from work, it was his sacred landing place.

190
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: Away from the worries of the world. I didn't make him.

191
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 4: Feel guilty for being away too long or too much,

192
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 4: or getting home too late. I always told him home

193
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 4: is here for you, and it'll be ready for you.

194
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 4: And I made it into this place where he wanted

195
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 4: to be as soon as possible.

196
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 2: When he was on the road. There was no keeping

197
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: score between us. We were a.

198
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 4: Team working together for the same mission. I never wanted

199
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 4: to be the one standing between Charlie and the task

200
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 4: that God prepared for him, had set for him, and

201
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 4: I knew Charlie would always do his best to help

202
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 4: me with the same. My marriage with Charlie was the

203
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 4: best thing that ever happened to me, and I know

204
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 4: it was the best thing that ever happened to him

205
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 4: as well. He wanted everyone to experience that joy. And

206
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 4: that's what's so beautiful about God's design for marriage is

207
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 4: that everyone can. And I could talk endlessly about it

208
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 4: in years to come I will. But Charlie's mission, above

209
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 4: all was aimed directly at those who aren't married. He

210
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 4: named his organization well. He knew things were not right

211
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 4: with America, and especially with young people, and they.

212
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 2: Needed a new direction.

213
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 4: Charlie passionately wanted to reach and save the lost boys

214
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 4: of the West, the young men who feel like they

215
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 4: have no direction, no purpose, no faith, and no reason

216
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 4: to live. The men wasting their lives on distractions, and

217
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 4: the men consumed with resentment, anger and hate. Charlie wanted

218
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 4: to help them. He wanted them to have a home

219
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 4: with Turning Point, USA, and when he went on to campus,

220
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 4: he was looking to show them a better path.

221
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 2: And a better life that was right there for the taking.

222
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: He wanted to show them that.

223
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 4: My husband, Charlie, he wanted to save young men, just

224
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 4: like the one who took his life, that young man,

225
00:20:52,840 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 4: that young man on the cross, Our Savior said, Father,

226
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 4: forgive them.

227
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: For they not know what they do.

228
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 5: That man.

229
00:21:12,960 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 6: Back yond man, I forgive him.

230
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 2: I forgive him because it was what Christ did and

231
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: is what Charlie would do.

232
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 4: The answer to hate is not hate. The answer we

233
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 4: know from the Gospel is love and always love. Love

234
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 4: for our enemies, and love for those who persecute us.

235
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 4: The world needs Turning Point USA.

236
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: It needs a.

237
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 4: Group that will point young people away from the path

238
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 4: of misery and sin. It needs something that will lead

239
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 4: people away from hell in this world and in the next.

240
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 4: It needs young people pointed in the direction of truth

241
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 4: and beauty. And so I promise you today every part

242
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 4: of our work will become greater. I am tremendously honored

243
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 4: to be the new CEO of Turning Point USA.

244
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 2: I do not take that lightly. Charlie and I were

245
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 2: united in purpose.

246
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 4: His passion was my passion, and now his mission is

247
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 4: my mission. Everything that Turning Point USA built through Charlie's

248
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 4: vision in hard work, we will make ten times greater.

249
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 4: Through the power of his memory, chapters.

250
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 2: Will grow thousands of new ones will be created.

251
00:23:54,960 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 4: TPUSA Faith will add thousands of new pastors and congregations.

252
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 4: And yes, campus events will continue, and we will continue

253
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 4: to hold debates and dialogue. The First Amendment of our

254
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 4: Constitution is the most human amendment. We are naturally talking beings,

255
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 4: naturally believing beings, and the First Amendment protects our right

256
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 4: to do both. No assassin will ever stop us for

257
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 4: standing up to defend those rights, ever, because when you

258
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 4: stop the conversation, when you stop the dialogue, this is

259
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 4: what happens. When we lose the ability and the willingness

260
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 4: to communicate, we get violence.

261
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: And as I stand here now and I look at this.

262
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 4: Beautiful photo of my husband in front of me, hanging

263
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 4: in the stadium.

264
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: I think of my husband thirteen years ago.

265
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 5: I hadn't met him yet.

266
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 4: He was eighteen years old, a man barely out of

267
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 4: high school, running around the halls of the RNC without

268
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 4: a dollar in his pocket and a single contact in

269
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 4: his phone. People who saw him said that he didn't

270
00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 4: know what he was doing, but he did. He did

271
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 4: know what he was doing. He knew exactly what he

272
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 4: was doing. He was going to change the world, and

273
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 4: he did Charlie's life was a turning point for this country.

274
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 2: It was a miracle. Let that miracle, it was Charlie's

275
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 2: life be your turning point as well.

276
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 4: Choose prayer, Choose courage, Choose beauty, Choose adventure, choose family,

277
00:26:44,720 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 4: Choose a life of faith. Most importantly, choose Christ. I

278
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 4: love you, Charlie, baby, and I will make you proud.

279
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,440
