Every single person into this building. We owe something to Charlie. He made you believe more on yourself. I don't know how the guy had the bandwidth. Like the sheer volume of people whose lives he touched that we're just now discovering is out of control.
The President's massive gains with young Americans across the country was in no small part because of the efforts of Charlie Kirk and Turning Point usa.
The thing that united us was his total commitment to free speech.
He just never forgot there was a person behind the views, and that inspired me, and God commands that of us.
He evangelized. He was on every college campus in every part of the country. And he was broader than that. A turning point event was something you had to be at, had to pay attention to.
We now have 37,000 applications to start chapters around the country. He was a joyful warrior for our country. He loved America. He devoted himself tirelessly to making our country a better place.
After he was killed, he has become a titan whose inspiration will move through eternity, inspiring millions of people for decades to come.
St. Paul tells us in the book of Ephesians to put on the full armor of God. Let all of us put on that armor and commit ourselves to that cause for which Charlie gave his life to rebuild and a United States of America. And to do it by telling the truth.
