Chapters
Charlie. Charlie. Charlie.
Charlie Kirk.
If you knew him, you love him. Charlie Kirk was an incredible man.
One of the strongest, bravest people that I know.
Charlie has the work ethic of no one I have ever met in my life. I don't think it can be understated the impact that he had.
One of the greatest communicators of the generation.
He was more than just somebody who would comment on the news.
He genuinely respected and genuinely loved in a Christian manner, the people on the other side of the table. He didn't hate anybody. He would give the shirt off a back to help someone that was in need, regardless of their political strife. His ideas were about faith, family, freedom. This young man with an idea that became a movement. What he built is part of his legacy, but also part of that legacy, more importantly, is a husband and a father. Irreplaceable. He was. Irreplaceable is a one of one, right? Charlie Kirk was at the tip of the spear.
Never flinched, never backed off. He wanted that back and forth, but not out of anger, not out of a place of. He wanted to humiliate them or embarrass them or something like that, because he wanted to actually try to communicate with them.
He went into the belly of the beast. He went on these college campuses and he evangelized this man who had a life force that was so much bigger than himself.
If everything completely goes away, how do you want to be remembered? I want to be. I want to be remembered for courage, for my faith. That would be the most important thing. Most important thing is my faith. Money. I hope that the story of Turning Point usa again, we started with no money, no connections, and no idea what I was doing resonates with some of you.
Government sucks.
It's not a project called Turning Point usa. To despair is a sin. And some people say, oh, Charlie, you know, it's just too. It's too hard, it's too overwhelming, it's too dark. Snap out of it. You still live in the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world. There is still so much to be hopeful and to be thankful for. And we have agency. The globalists are worried that you are waking up. They're worried that they're fraud and their nonsense is finally being exposed. And you are at the central nerve of all of that. Ask God how to use you. Find a place to plug in. I am thankful for you. We had a vision because we love the country. Push yourself harder. Here I am, Lord. Use me. You guys might remember a year ago, I gave the whole speech of here I am, Lord, send me. And it was kind of this joke that we had. As soon as I gave that message.
I remember him getting off stage and I say, honey, do you realize what you just did? He's like, yeah, I just put it. I was like, no, no, no. You said, here I am. That is a very powerful statement. And God's like, I see you. Charlie is so obedient to God, to the word of God. And it's been so humbling to witness the way that God has used him this year, because he made that declaration a year ago, saying, here I am. I'm ready. Where you need me to be, Lord, I'll be. And I'm your servant. Just put me out there in the thick of it.
You see, they wanted us to be quiet and afraid and silent and subservient. They wanted us to cower into our corner. But the conservative movement has changed fundamentally. I hope you guys understand this. This is the greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world. And I can say, wow, there was a debate, is God done with this country? And now I can say confidently, no, God is not done with America, and our best days are ahead.
