They outworked, they out hustled, and outperformed everyone else. Charlie just didn't help. He made the winning difference. I promise you that. And I believe Charlie is still urging us on, urging us not to sit back, not to be quiet, but to carry on his mission forward, loudly, proudly, and with the same conviction he showed. So I ask you, let us honor Charlie in the best way possible by continuing his work, by building on the foundation he laid, and by making sure this generation knows that this movement is their home. May God bless Erica and their beautiful children and may he hold them in the palm of his hands always.

Speaker 0 recalls a conversation with Charlie about the danger of challenging entrenched interests. Charlie asked if he was scared to die, and he said: "there's a lot worse things than dying." He continues: "And one of those, And chief among us is losing our constitutional rights and and having our children raised in slavery." He adds: "And I said to him at that time, I said, sometimes our only consolation is that we can die with our boots on. We can die fighting for these things." "Charlie gave his life so that the rest of us would not have to suffer those fates worse than death." Now it's our job, and he's no longer there to lead us, to rush in and fill the beer breach and win this battle for our country, for God, and for our families.

The life, example, and even death of Christ follower and American patriot, Charlie Kirk, give me hope. Sheer courage no matter the the arena. Charlie, we love you. We know that you have heard the Lord's words. Well done, good and faithful servant. Full heart. Clear eyes. Like those on 09/11, he will never be forgotten. So I thank God for all of you and all of our fighters from that day to today and beyond. May god bless our warriors as they ruthlessly seek our enemies on behalf of the fellow citizens they love. We owe you and all of those who witnessed nine eleven nothing less.

- Animals. I fucking hate them. I hate them. They're celebrating. If you support this, you are evil. - We will fight for Charlie. We will not shut up for Charlie. - We will continue his fight, and we will fight harder, and we will win. - And we will no longer bend the knee to these deranged lunatics that are holding our society hostage. - If this hasn't radicalized you that the law enforcement would then key in on taking a look at that other thing in this instance For Charlie.

I saw a lot of rumors online today. That's bullshit. I saw those rumors. They are false. I will be coming to college campuses, many of them, this year. Charlie's voice is not silent. We're gonna pick up that bloodstained microphone where Charlie left it. We are not going to stop, and I have two words. Fuck you. We will not stop telling the truth. We will never stop telling the truth. We will never stop debating and discussing. We will never stop standing up for what America is and for what you should be, and we will never let Charlie Kirk's voice die. Goodbye to my friend, Charlie Kirk. May your memory be a blessing for your family and for your country and for all of us.

Rumors online about a college tour are false; I was told by my team that I'm that I canceled some sort of college tour. That's bullshit. I will be visiting college campuses this year, and others will join, because we're Americans and won't be deterred. Charlie's voice is not silent, and we will pick up that bloodstained microphone where Charlie left it. To those who would intimidate or seek to end free discussion or claim ownership over public spaces and threaten those who speak freely, we will not be deterred. I have two words: Fuck you. We will not stop telling or debating the truth, and we will stand up for what America is and for what you should be, never letting Charlie Kirk's voice die. Goodbye to my friend, Charlie Kirk. May your memory be a blessing for your family and for your country and for all of us.

"Name was Charlie. Husband, daddy. Voice for the kids." "Cut down a sun in the middle church, and I swear if the tables turn the other way." "How dare they steal the bread from a faithful man? How dare they stain the grass where his boots won't stand." "They call us evil. Point at our cross, then pull that trigger and wreck no cost." "Charlie, we ain't letting go of your hand." "Two little hearts asking who's to blame." "America's weeping like a mourning dove when a voice falls silent that we're speaking love." "Make your life the answer. Make your faith a song." "We'll lift that cross. We'll guard that flame. Hold tight to hold and say his name." "Charlie, your light keeps riding on." "For Charlie, for his family, for every kid who needed that

"To my great fellow Americans, I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah." "Charlie inspired millions, and tonight, all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror." "Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loved so much, The United States Of America." "He's a martyr for truth and freedom, and there's never been anyone who was so respected by youth." "This is a dark moment for America." "Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them." "It is true the anti defamation league was part and parcel with black lives matter."

He did a lot to stifle my career, and suppressed me in many ways. And I antagonized him a lot and mocked him and ridiculed him and attacked his credibility. He was my opponent. But I would never wish death upon him. It is undeniable that he was a towering figure in American conservatism. He died at 31 years old and left a legacy that many people could not achieve in many lifetimes. And ultimately, that is why he was killed. Anyone, everyone, fighting and winning that spiritual battle for Christ and for his kingdom will be persecuted for his sake. And for that, I consider him a true martyr. Charlie Kirk was a good man. God bless him. And I pray for the repose of his soul, for his family, for him.

Speaker 0 discusses the value of open debate and denouncing tactics used by some to shut down discussion. He references Charlie Kirk’s public life and the speech he asked him to deliver earlier this year, noting that Kirk died for the belief in the importance of debate. He explains that, in the months leading up to his final days, Kirk devoted effort to arguing about the event and the speech, and that he faced immense pressure from donors to remove him from Turning Point’s roster. The speaker asserts that Kirk stood firm in his belief that people should be able to debate, and that if you have something valid to say or are telling the truth, you should be able to explain it calmly and in detail to people who disagree, rather than resorting to silencing or questioning motives. He criticizes the tendency to label questions as indicative of evil or to accuse others of motives, noting how “shut up racist” has become a prevailing, harmful reaction. He states that this phrase was the number one reason he voted for Donald Trump. He emphasizes that if he were a racist or bigot, he would acknowledge it, noting that in America one is allowed to be whatever kind of person one wants, but he is opposed to racism and bigotry. He argues that the style of debate that obstructs the other side from talking by quickly appealing to motive is corrosive, and he questions the usefulness of such questioning practices. The speaker insists he’s grown tired of that approach and believes they’ve reached the end of it. He states clearly that he will not play by those rules, and he will express his views regardless of others’ disapproval, as long as he has the opportunity to speak. He reiterates that if someone doesn’t like his views, that’s fine, but he intends to express them openly. In closing, he reiterates his commitment to speaking his mind and not engaging in the silencing tactics he condemns.

Speaker honors Charlie as driven by Christianity and devotion to God, urging us to 'live our lives in perfect imitation of Christ' and to turn 'every day and every moment and every interaction into a prayer.' He says Charlie understood that 'it's only by surrender to God that God's power can flow into our lives and make us effective human beings.' Charlie's passions included free speech; 'the free flow of information was the soil, the water, the sunlight for democracy' and conversation as a healer of division. Personal notes recount a granddaughter leaving for college in Europe, 'packed a bible' and saying 'I want to live more like Charlie.' In a July 2021 talk they discussed 'the risks that all of us take when we challenge entrenched interests, the physical risk.'

Charlie Kirk's death is a dark moment for America and a turning point—a call to action. He founded Turning Point USA and was "the greatest man I've ever personally known" and "the least hypocritical man" who "practiced what he preached." I met him in a Chicago diner in 2012; he slept on couches while building the movement, and Rush Limbaugh said, "everywhere I go, I run into Charlie Kirk." He coached me through my darkest days, helped with payroll, and on stage urged pastors to pray for me. "The price for his message was his life." "Justice just isn't there for those who deserve it." Without accountability, we live under the illusion of freedom. "God was using Charlie to wake up this generation," and "A million more Charlie Kirks are gonna be born." The future of this nation will be determined by the choice you make.

"It doesn't feel real." "I was not even a fan, not a friend, and actually an adversary, a foe." "We had a lot of differences, ideologically, politically, and we fought viciously." "Charlie Kirk never had a kind word to say about me in his life." "Now that he has died, I'll say some kind words about him." "In spite of that, it is undeniable that he was a towering figure in American conservatism." "He would take on almost any challengers." "And he did it all before the age of 31." "And ultimately that is why he was killed." "He was clearly a loving father, a loving husband." "He was beloved by millions of people." "God bless him." "I pray for the repose of his soul, for his family, for him."

Charlie, a young Christian man—husband and daddy—took a bullet for speaking his mind, a voice for the kids. 'Truth on a mic and a life attack.' He talked about hope in a storming land. Bible in the heart and a promise in his hands. A 'shadow reached from a coward's perch' and he was 'cut down a sun in the middle church.' If the shoe was flipped, you'd hear a different cry. Instead we stand with candles and a folded flag, begging God for mercy on the road we drive. They cry, 'How dare they steal the breath from a faithful man. How dare they stain the grass where his boots won't stand.' Charlie, we ain't night. Be We're when a voice falls silent that we're speaking love. We'll choose the truth and we won't reply. We'll stand for justice and we won't back down.

Charlie Kirk's death is a moment for America. It's also a turning point for you and me, a call to action. Charlie was Turning Point USA. He was the least hypocritical man I've ever known and he practiced what he preached. He was a Buckley-Limbaugh figure. Kierkegaard said, 'the most painful state of being is remembering the future, particularly the one that you'll never have.' I met him in a Chicago diner in 2012; he spoke about building a movement of young people. At the Turning Point Faith Conference, he summoned me on stage to pray for me, 'as if it depended on God.' He helped me make payroll. Charlie answered, 'courage from my faith.' He did not point left or right but up. The price for his message was his life. Without accountability, we live under the illusion of freedom. A million more Charlie Kirks are gonna be born.

Who killed Charlie Kirk? At the young age of 31 years old, he had already founded and ran the largest conservative youth organization in the country. I do not believe we have anything near the real story about the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk last week. The narrative presented by the FBI and other government agencies is wildly contradictory with an ever changing plot line that makes little sense. Some individuals close to Kirk have reported that his foreign policy position was shifting away from the standard neoconservative militarism in favor of a more noninterventionist approach. Was Charlie Kirk murdered directly or indirectly by powerful forces who could not tolerate such a shift in views and such an influential leader? We don't know. But no army or assassin can stop an idea whose time has come. Rest in peace.

Many young people on campuses know it is time for change, 'America's future is a series of choices' and 'There's only one way Our current state of slow motion national decline is a choice.' 'Today is our two year old's birthday. And I look at my daughter, and that is my why.' Jack Posobic recalls Charlie Kirk: 'Charlie Kirk was conservative firebrand, hero, cultural icon. But to me, he was my friend.' 'Charlie Kirk was taken from us in an act of left wing political violence, of terrorism, assassinated.' 'Charlie Kirk isn't just an American martyr. Charlie Kirk is a Christian martyr.' 'Charlie Kirk died with his boots on and a microphone in his hand proclaiming the truth on campus.' 'The mission of Charlie Kirk, the mission of Turning Point USA goes on, and it will never stop.' 'Charlie wouldn't want us to retreat.' 'Lock in, patriots.' 'It's your turn.'

"Charlie inspired millions, and tonight, all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror." "Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loved so much, The United States Of America." "He's a martyr for truth and freedom, and there's never been anyone who was so respected by youth." "Charlie was also a man of deep, deep faith, and we take comfort in the knowledge that he is now at peace with God in heaven." "Our prayers are with his wife, Erica, the two young, beloved children, and his entire family who he loved more than anything in the world." "Charlie Kirk traveled the nation joyfully engaging with everyone interested in good faith debate." "Radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives." "An assassin tried to silence him with a bullet, but he failed because together, we will ensure that his voice, his message, and his legacy will live on for countless generations to come."

Now it's still up to us. I saw a lot of rumors online today. I was made aware of this by my team that I'm that I canceled some sort of college tour. That's bullshit. I saw those rumors. They are false. I will be coming to college campuses, many of them, this year. So will we all, I am sure, because we're Americans, and we're not going to be deterred. Charlie's voice is not silent. We're gonna pick up that bloodstained microphone where Charlie left it. And to those who would intimidate, who would seek to stop us, who believe that they have ownership over public spaces and can violently threaten and kill people who speak freely. We are not going to stop, and I have two words. Fuck you. We will not stop telling the truth.

To those trying to incite violence against us, you have nothing. You are nothing. You are wickedness, jealousy, envy, hatred. You can build nothing, produce nothing, create nothing. We are the ones who build, create, lift up humanity. You thought you could kill Charlie Kirk? You have made him immortal. Millions will carry on his legacy, and we will devote rest of our lives to finishing the causes for which Charlie gave his last measure of devotion. You cannot defeat us. We will carry Charlie and Erica in our heart every day and fight harder because of what you did to us. The dragon you have awakened, you have no idea how determined we will be to save this civilization, to save West, to save this republic. We will defend goodness, light, virtue. We are on the side of God. God bless Turning Point, Erica, Kirk family, and United States.

Approve of evil. You're not helping people. You're hurting them when you do that. You know, in the passage that everybody reads at their wedding, but nobody obeys, first Corinthians 13, Paul says, love does not rejoice in wrongdoing. Love rejoices in the truth. Love always protects. Love always perseveres. If you wanna love people, you protect them. You don't enable them to do evil. You don't approve of what they wanna do that god doesn't want them to do. And to the people who hate Charlie, to the people who celebrate his murder, I don't want to spend a lot of time on this. Charlie was doing this to reach out to you. Charlie was doing this to love you. You don't love people by enabling their continued rebellion against the God of the universe. The man in the white hat was me. Don't believe in these crazy conspiracy theories. Charlie Kirk was literally like a son to me. I have three sons. He was like my fourth son. We drove four miles somewhat. Charlie was killed instantly and felt absolutely no pain. He was with Jesus, absent from the body, present with the Lord. Mikey McCoy is an absolute hero. The hospital staff and the law enforcement were amazing. Catherine Locastro came...

Two days ago, my husband, Charlie, went to see the face of his savior and his god. Charlie witnessed for his lord and savior, Jesus Christ. Now and for all eternity, he will stand at his savior's side wearing the glorious crown of a martyr. Charlie loved life. He loved America. He loved nature, which helped him always bring him closer to God. One of Charlie's favorite bible verses was Ephesians five verse 25. Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. The evildoers responsible for my husband's assassination have no idea what they have done. The movement will not die. America Fest here in Phoenix this December will go on. The radio and podcast show that he was so proud of will go on. If you wanna get involved, go to tpusa.com. May God bless America.

They are false. I will be coming to college campuses, many of them, this year. So will we all, I am sure, because we're Americans, and we're not going to be deterred. Charlie's voice is not silent. We're gonna pick up that bloodstained microphone where Charlie left it. And to those who would intimidate, who would seek to stop us, who would seek to end free discussion, who believe that they have ownership over public spaces and can violently threaten and kill people who speak freely. We are not going to stop, and I have two words. Fuck you. We will not stop telling the truth. We'll never stop telling the truth. We will never stop debating and discussing. We will never stop standing up for what America is and for what you should be, and we will never let Charlie Kirk's voice die. Goodbye to my friend, Charlie Kirk. May your memory be a blessing for your family and for your country and for all of us.

Speaker 0: The speech opens with a critique of denouncing and a reference to the red guard/ c ultural revolution, questioning why nobody denounces others the way that era was denounced. The speaker recalls that the entire point of Charlie Kirk’s public life was to have actual debate, and asserts that Charlie “died for it.” The last several months of Charlie’s life were devoted, in part, to arguing about this event and this speech, which he asked the speaker to deliver earlier this year, this summer. The speaker notes that Charlie faced immense pressure from people who fund Turning Point who wanted him to remove the speaker from the roster. This has all become public, and the speaker describes the situation as sad, stating that Charlie stood firm in his often stated and deeply held belief that people should be able to debate. The speaker emphasizes that if someone has something valid to say and is telling the truth, they ought to be able to explain it calmly and in detail to people who don’t agree with them, and that they shouldn’t immediately resort to “shut up racist.” The speaker adds that “shut up racist” is the number one reason they voted for Donald Trump. They declare that if they were a racist or a bigot, they would simply say so, noting that it’s America and one is allowed to be whatever kind of person they want. They insist they are not a racist and have always opposed-bigoted views, but criticize the style of debate that prevents the other side from talking or being heard by immediately going to motive, asking why the question is asked, and stating they detect “a certain evil in your soul” in the question. They say that listening to such a question implicates the listeners too, and that someday they may be asked to denounce that person; they assert that friendship is not a reason to defend someone and that love is no defense. The speaker reflects that they thought that phase had ended and that they are not going to engage in those rules. They affirm that if someone doesn’t like what they think, that’s fine as long as they get to express it. That remains their view.

We had our disagreements. Where we did agree is that he would go to these college campuses and proclaim the name of Jesus Christ. And ultimately, that is why he was killed. The gunmen that killed him, they hated him because of his defense of Christian morality. Charlie Kirk cannot call himself a Christian anymore. Sorry, you forfeited that. I do not wanna hear and you cannot allow Charlie Kirk to go to one more public event, one more question and answer, one more ask me anything without being protested, without being shouted down, without being interrogated about this. This guy goes around from campus to campus in the most artificial and phony and fake way talking about, oh, God, God made me very blessed that I control $500,000,000. And then you go around from campus to campus making excuses for a famine?
