Erica Kirk thanks law enforcement, first responders, Turning Point USA staff, and supporters. She thanks President Trump. 'Two days ago, my husband, Charlie went to see the face of his savior and his God.' Charlie always said that when he was gone, he would be remembered for his courage and his faith. He loved life, America, the Chicago Cubs, and the Oregon Ducks, and most of all his children. He believed his top priority would be to revive the American family; one of his favorite verses was Ephesians five verse 25. 'The evildoers responsible for my husband's assassination have no idea what they have done.' 'The movement my husband built will not die.' and 'The movement's not going anywhere, and it will only grow stronger when you join it.' Nobody is ever too young to know the gospel. 'Making heaven crowded.' She urges visiting tpusa.com and tpusa faith.

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.

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.

Charlie Kirk—a patriot, conservative, leader, and warrior—was described as a true believer in freedom and the power of young people. "Only Christ is king, our lord and savior. Our sins are washed away by the blood of Jesus. Fear God and fear no man." He started Turning Point USA to change our politics, building a movement aimed at truth. He argued this is not a political or cultural war, but a spiritual war, with "Faith and family first." "There is a God, and as Charlie would say, it is not us. We're sinners saved only by grace in need of the gospel." He stressed that "we always did need less government" but "a lot more God." He died speaking the truth, waging war not with a weapon, but with a tent, a microphone, his mind, and the truth. "The gates of hell could not prevail against him."

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.

"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 describes a moment of divine presence and honors Charlie Kirk as a Christian evangelist. He recalls "two thousand years ago in Jerusalem" when Jesus tells the truth about power; "they hate it," and voices say, "we must make him stop talking" and, "Why don't we just kill him?"—"It doesn't work that way." He adds, "Everything is inverted, and the beatitudes tell it." He notes "Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted." Charlie’s message was to bring the gospel to the country and call for repentance: "the only real solution is Jesus." He contrasts "Politics at its core is a process of critiquing other people and getting them to change" with "Christianity... begins with repentance." The Lord's prayer idea: "forgive us our sins" and "change begins the only change that matters when we repent of our sins." Charlie was fearless: "There was no hate in his heart" and said of opponents, "That's a sad person. That's a broken person. That's a person who needs help. That's a person who needs Jesus." "This is the way."

The speaker asserts that “the left wakes up tomorrow and realizes that somebody that agrees with them assassinated the equivalent of Martin Luther King junior” and that “they are celebrating right now.” He credits “Charlie Kirk started a movement, and he led that movement. And that movement changed the election. Without Charlie Kirk, president Trump does not win in 2024.” “The people whose minds he changed... they know it. And you just woke them up.” He calls it “the equivalent of assassinating Martin Luther King, and you'll never be able to live this down.” He warns of “the ones that are celebrating, the ones that are cheering, the ones that are excited and happy.” He asks, “who you are as a person that can allow you to watch somebody get assassinated... knowing his wife and his children were standing there watching, and you're cheering it.” “Because of words that he spoke, ideas that he had, which, by the way, are pretty standard ideas for all of millennia,” and that “you killed him.” “You just created a Martin Luther King, and you created 10,000,000 new Charlie Kirks at the same time.”

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."

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."

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.

Charlie Kirk and I were not friends; the last week of his life we were beefing hard. But the day before he died, he sent me a personal message calling for personal dialogue, wanting me to come on the show. He said, 'We could be gentlemen together.' He said, 'we could deal with our disagreements agreeably.' In the past week and a half, watching talk of civil wars and censorship surrounding his death, I thought it was important to tell people: 'Don't put that on Charlie Kirk' because the last day of his life, he was reaching out to have not more censorship, more conversation, more dialogue with somebody who honestly was one of his adversaries, me. And I just wanna share that with the world. And I hope that maybe it might help somebody on both sides deal with issues more like he did.

It's tough that this is the truth, but it is. You really only ever see the impact of someone's life when they're gone. Does anybody miss them? Has anything changed? And in the case of Charlie Kirk, everything's changed. Charlie Kirk was a cultural icon, not just a political icon. He's been eulogized by Hollywood celebrities and NFL superstars. the country music Jesus loves every single one of you in this place tonight. Charlie Kirch with Jesus. Charlie is a guy that's gonna be very, very much missed, and his legacy is gonna live on forever with Turning Point and what he's done with only thirty one years on this planet. So tonight, since he was one of the ones that stuck up for this song, let's play this one for Charlie. Here's try that in a small tap.

- and say that she forgives the assassin who killed her husband, Charlie Kirk. - The people standing next to me also wept. - the only solution is exposure, journalism, sunlight as the best disinfectant. - Please note, this isn't about him or Glenn Prager. - There are many more out there like Glenn Prager. - Be a hero and do the right thing. - But these reports are going to continue coming out and they will not be partisan or political. - They're gonna cut across the political divide because this is not a political mission, and I am not a political person. - It is my mission to clean up society through transparency, accountability, and the truth. - Charlie Kirk's last words to me were, James, you should be a journalist first.

Charlie Kirk's perspective on Israel was not starting to shift. It had shifted entirely. Israel knew that. Turning Point USA knew that because Charlie was explicit. He wrote of his deep love for Israel. About forty eight hours before Charlie Kirk died, Charlie informed people at Turning Point, as well as Jewish donors and a rabbi that he had no choice but to abandon the pro Israel cause outright. Charlie was done. He said it explicitly that he refused to be bullied anymore by the Jewish donors. Did he express that? Did he also express that he wanted to bring me, Candace Owens, back because he was standing up for himself? And then did he, just forty eight hours later, conveniently catch a bullet to the throat before our on stage reunion could happen?

He was just a boy of 18 when he saw the call to lead, built a fire in the heartland, and planted one determined seed, saying, “let's give a voice to freedom. Let's let the young one speak.” He traveled coast to coast to make the strong stand with the weak, raised “the flag of reason” and held “the line of truth in the face of fear and darkness.” “His courage is the proof.” On the day that Charlie died, “a million voices cried for the courage of a young man who refused to run and hide.” He lit torture reason in the storm of endless nights, and though they took his life away, “they'll never dim his light.” From the halls of every campus to the streets of every town, he stood up for the values that some tried to tear down. He believed in our open voices.

He was dependent on donors, and a small, intense group tormented Charlie Kirk until the day he died. Two days before his death, he lost a $2,000,000 donation after publicly pledging to bring me to the next Turning Point conference in December. A flyer announced I would speak, and he texted he was taking heat. The American Jewish Committee called in a statement Charlie Kirk an antisemite and, quote, dangerous. Charlie Kirk, an antisemite. Yeah. He was not an antisemite. He was the opposite, and he was not dangerous. He was a great lover of people and a purveyor of peace. He was deeply offended by that and expressed some feelings on Megyn Kelly show and elsewhere. Seth Dillon of Babylon Bee pressured Charlie Kirk to pull me off stage because BB didn't like what I said, shocking that someone whose persona is about free speech.

I’m going to state this, and I’m going to challenge Turning Point USA executives to issue a very clean statement saying that I am lying if this is not true. About forty eight hours before Charlie Kirk died, Charlie informed people at Turning Point, as well as Jewish donors and a rabbi, that he had no choice but to abandon the pro Israel cause outright. Charlie was done. He said it explicitly that he refused to be bullied anymore by the Jewish donors. Did he express that? Did he also express that he wanted to bring me, Candace Owens, back because he was standing up for himself? Just forty eight hours later, a bullet to the throat. Charlie did not die pro Israel. He did not die for Israel. He did not martyr himself as a friend of Israel. The truth is going to win.

Grateful for Charlie Kirk’s life and his moment at America Fest 2023 about submitting to God’s will, quoting Isaiah chapter six verse eight: "Here I am Lord. Send me." Eleven days ago, God accepted that surrender and called him to his side. I confronted his murdered body, and there was "no fame. There was no fear. No agony." He blinked and saw his savior in paradise. On the tarmac I told Usha Vance, "you will get through these fifteen minutes in the next fifteen minutes after that." After his assassination, we witnessed revival: people opened a Bible, prayed, and returned to church. "Every time you make a decision, it puts a mark on your soul." Charlie died with incomplete work, not with unfinished business. His mission: revive the American family; reach the lost boys of the West; "That man, that young man, I forgive him." TPUSA faith will grow.

Shortly after that speech, there was a very intense attack on Charlie. He had $100,000,000 worth of donors and was dependent on them, since it's a nonprofit and he worked on projects beyond yapping on the Internet. A small, intense group tormented Charlie Kirk until the day he died, though many were supportive. Two days before he died, he lost a $2,000,000 donation because he had publicly pledged to bring me to the next Turning Point Conference in December. He told me over the past couple of months, he was losing a lot of donations over that pledge. They put out a flyer basically saying that I was gonna be at this event giving a speech, and he would text me, 'man, I'm really taking a lot of heat for this, and people are really mad.'

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?
