Chapters
Good evening. My name is Erica Kirk. Charlie Kirk is my husband. Charlie always said that when he was gone, he wanted to be remembered for his courage and for his faith. Now and for all eternity, he will stand at his savior's side, wearing the glorious crown of a martyr. Charlie loved. Loved life. He loved his life. He loved America. But most of all, Charlie loved his children. And he loved me with all of his heart. And I knew that every day. I knew that. The evil doers responsible for my husband's assassination have no idea what they have done. They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith, and of God's merciful love. They should all know this. If you thought that my husband's mission was powerful before. You have no idea. You have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country, this world. You have no idea. You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife, Charlie. You didn't deserve it. May God bless your family. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry. People across the country are gathering, holding memorial services and vigils to honor Charlie Kirk's memory and his message. To everyone listening tonight, across America, the movement my husband built will not die. It won't. I refuse to let that happen. It will not die. It will become stronger, bolder, louder, and greater than ever. I promise I will never let your legacy die. I won't. I promise. I'll make Turning Point USA the biggest thing that this nation has ever seen. Rest in the arms of our board. As he blankets you with the words I know your heart always strives to hear. Well done, my good and faithful servant, Charlie. You put all this together, my man. Let's hear it. I. I am just humbled by God's grace. That's all I can say. It's done. I want you to remember that we did not earn this. This. This is. This is God's mercy on our country.
