00:00One of the most powerful moments of this century, talking directly to the evildoers,
00:05if you thought Charlie's mission was powerful before, you have no idea what you unleashed
00:11across this country. Saying her cries will echo around the world like a battle cry.
00:19Encouraging everybody to join a church, join Turning Point, start a chapter.
00:24Become a part of the movement. It's a political and spiritual movement.
00:31She shared with us that Charlie loved what he did. She thanked the Vance family for bringing his
00:38remains home. She said, Mr. President, my husband loved you and he knew that you did too.
00:46She said that Charlie would want to be remembered for his courage and his faith.
00:50And his top priority was to revive the American family.
00:57And that he stands now at his savior's side, wearing the glorious crown of a martyr.
01:05Let's bring in Benny Johnson, host of The Benny Show on YouTube. Benny?
01:20We'll come back to Benny. Do we have Sage Steele?
01:34Sage, you just heard Erica speak in the most eloquent and inspiring language that I think I've ever heard.
01:42How do you feel?
01:49I'm trying to gather myself in awe of what we just got to witness.
01:58I took notes like the old news reporter I have been for so many years and I have two pages here.
02:05But Jesse, the cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.
02:13I will never forget that.
02:15And none of us should.
02:18I got to know Erica beginning just last December at America Fest when I brought my show there and
02:23she was running around talking to so many of us.
02:26And when she sat down with me, I was taken aback by her warmth and how she made me feel.
02:33Some random podcaster.
02:35Her faith that day changed me.
02:40She sent me a text later and Bible in 365.
02:44As a Catholic, quite often we don't know scripture as well as I think we should.
02:48And I do now a little bit better because of Erica Kirk.
02:51But Erica spoke so eloquently about her love for her husband, her pride in him, and in her role as a wife.
03:07But her strength is something that I don't know people fully appreciated maybe until just now.
03:11As she described to me that day, she came from a broken home.
03:15A single mother who worked so hard to raise Erica.
03:18Erica, her models were her grandparents in their beautiful marriage.
03:22But she takes such strength from her mother.
03:24And I think we saw that tonight.
03:27I am in awe of her 48 hours after losing the love of her life.
03:32And inspiring us, imploring us to not let the darkness take over.
03:40To take responsibility, not just for ourselves, but for our children and for strangers alike.
03:47Her message, I know you feel the same.
03:51I absolutely cannot imagine.
03:53I cannot imagine talking to my three-year-old child.
03:56There are no instruction books on how to do this.
04:00Erica Kirk is a hero of mine.
04:06And I believe now millions of others because she's right.
04:09They have no idea what they have now unleashed.
04:14This is just the beginning.
04:15Yes, and Erica is someone that this country and the world will have to reckon with.
04:22That's for sure.
04:24Thank you so much, Sage Steele.
04:25Let's go to Benny Johnson, who joins us again.
04:29Benny, your thoughts on what you just witnessed.
04:32You evil, evil bastards.
04:35You widowed that beautiful woman.
04:38And now those two babies will have to live without their daddy.
04:43And why?
04:46Why, Jesse?
04:49Because you disagreed with someone's political opinions?
04:52Because you couldn't handle someone's free speech?
04:57Because of the First Amendment?
05:00Charlie Kirk wasn't killed because of the Second Amendment, Jesse.
05:03Charlie Kirk was killed because of the First Amendment.
05:05What kind of a country is this?
05:09What kind of a movement is the left now?
05:12A left that has dehumanized Charlie, has called him a Nazi, has called him a fascist, has called him deplorable.
05:21The entire movement dehumanizing, and they paint a target on everyone's back when they do that.
05:30But after watching Erica, what's become clear is that it's backfired.
05:39That Charlie will become stronger in martyrdom.
05:42That's how it works with martyrs.
05:44There are vigils worldwide.
05:4617 different nations right now have ongoing vigils for Charlie Kirk.
05:53And that Charlie's life is going to carry on in Turning Point USA.
06:01This is something that I wanted to tell you, Jesse, because I've known Charlie and worked with him for a very long time.
06:07He loved your show.
06:09And he loved your work.
06:12And it was a profound honor for him to come on this program.
06:15And you got to witness the same thing that the rest of us got to witness in Charlie's life, which is the hand of God.
06:22I don't think I've ever witnessed a miracle before.
06:24But watching Charlie work and watching what he was able to build and watching the prophetic nature of what he said and the work of his life, I know that I witnessed a miracle.
06:38I know that I witnessed the prophetic hand of God working and moving today.
06:44And God is the author of life and death.
06:46And he chose to bring Charlie home.
06:49I won't ever understand why.
06:51I don't know.
06:52But I know this.
06:53He is a Christian, an American martyr.
06:55And we'll remember him by continuing his work.
06:58So help us, God.
07:00Benny, thank you so much.
07:02And we love Charlie.
07:04And we love everybody at Turning Point.
07:06And you, of course.
07:08And Erica, I'm just in awe of.
07:11I'm in awe.
07:12That was something like I've never seen before.
07:15Thank you so much for joining us.
07:18Please come on Jesse Waters' primetime anytime.
07:21I feel like we'll be seeing a lot more of you and a lot more at Turning Point and especially a lot more of Erica in the days and weeks and years to come.
07:30Thank you, Jesse.
07:31Let's bring in a host of the Isabel Brown Show.
07:35Isabel Brown, you knew Charlie well.
07:37You knew Erica.
07:40Tell us how you're feeling.
07:41Jesse, we can't even begin to express the level of our heartbreak that we're feeling, not just those of us close to Charlie, as I'm sure you're feeling too, but the nation, this generation, and the world.
07:58I am blown away by Erica's strength, by her humility, by her radiating beauty of God, but mostly by her faith.
08:07That in what can only be described as the darkest of times, she has the fortitude and the courage to look upward and to know that this might not make sense for us today.
08:19And we may not understand what God's plan is in all of this, especially through our heartbreak.
08:24But we know that all things do work together for good for those who love the Lord.
08:30And throughout my life, and especially having this once-in-a-generation opportunity to be mentored by the great Charlie Kirk over the last eight years, I have never seen someone in a lifetime who has loved the Lord more than Charlie.
08:46I had the distinct privilege and honor of sharing the stage with Charlie about a week ago in one of his last speaking engagements on this earth, which I didn't know at the time, but I remember being floored by the moral conviction and the clear wisdom that he was radiating from the Holy Spirit to a level that I've never seen personally or publicly from Charlie.
09:09And he said during his speech that once people start to drink from the streams of liberty, they will want to know its source.
09:18Liberty is not man's idea. It's God's idea.
09:21And I'm shocked and amazed and humbled and inspired in the wake of this tragedy in the last 48 hours, what we're seeing from a generation as they rise up on their college campuses, in America's city streets, in countries across the world, in digital algorithms, in everywhere they can, to praise God for the legacy of this extraordinary young man.
09:43And to say we will never back down, we will never be afraid, we will never stop fighting for our convictions, because we are all Charlie Kirk now.
09:52If you are a student on a college campus and you're making a difference today, we see you, we love you, we are so humbled by your courage.
10:00And if you're not currently involved in this incredible movement, please, please listen to Erica's plea to join Turning Point USA.
10:07I, long ago, was one of those college students who started a chapter on my campus, and Charlie, like with so many other dozens and dozens of people in the media space, gave me an opportunity to use my voice in a bigger way.
10:19But our calling to you now is to do that for an entire generation by the millions.
10:25And God, I hope they created a million Charlie Kirks this week.
10:28Well, Isabel, as sad as we can all see you are, we can see this beautiful and pure glimmer of hope and of faith and trust in the Lord above.
10:45And it's inspiring.
10:46And thank you for sharing that with us.
10:48We really appreciate it.
10:50Thank you, Jesse.
10:52Utah Senator Mike Lee is here.
10:55Mike, you know, you see the trend lines, the country is not getting married, the country is not having children, the country is not going to church.
11:05And something like this happens, turning point.
11:10And you hear Erica and her beautiful words and her uplifting and courageous spirit inspire everybody to open their hearts to God
11:20and to come together and defeat evil and do what they love, like Charlie did what he loved.
11:27Is this it?
11:28Is this the turning point?
11:31Undoubtedly so.
11:33And my heart's touched by what we saw just moments ago with Erica Kirk laying bare what really is happening here.
11:43The hope and the enthusiasm that she expressed, even amidst heartbreak, was nothing short of inspiring.
11:50We've all been wondering over the last few days who on earth could step in and fill the shoes left by Charlie Kirk.
11:56And I think we've seen that.
11:58We've seen who that is.
11:59And her name is Erica Kirk and is nothing short of inspiring.
12:03The words that she spoke were at once really giving hope to millions of people who found hope in Charlie's message.
12:13But she was also appropriately calling out those who may have contributed to this.
12:19Some knowingly, others less so.
12:21But look, when you have people over and over again calling conservatives Nazis, comparing them to Hitler,
12:28it causes people, particularly the criminally deranged, it causes them to start looking for and feeling like they're being encouraged to carry out their own Operation Valkyrie.
12:39Trump is not Hitler.
12:41Neither was Charlie Kirk.
12:42And this is not your Valkyrie moment.
12:44It's time to stop this.
12:46We see it all over the place.
12:47We see it in the mainstream news media.
12:49We see it among politicians.
12:51Conservatives are not Nazis.
12:53You've got to stop doing this.
12:54It brings out the very wrong things in people.
12:58But the right things are brought out by messages like what we just saw from Erica Kirk.
13:03It's a message of hope.
13:05It's a message that says, yes, Charlie's gone.
13:07He's been taken to us, taken from us far too young.
13:10But they just created a million, 10 million, 100 million more Charlie Kirks.
13:16They haven't seen anything yet.
13:18His legacy will continue to expand long after he's left us.
13:22And your great state of Utah has really shown who they are in the last 48 hours.
13:32There was no violence.
13:34Everybody prayed and supported law enforcement.
13:37And what do you know?
13:38This alleged perpetrator was apprehended very quickly and will be brought, we believe, to swift justice and receive the ultimate penalty, the penalty of death.
13:48What is it about Utah that allowed that to happen?
13:53Well, first and foremost, we've got great law enforcement.
13:56And I want to commend our local, state, and federal law enforcement.
14:01You saw them today working with Governor Cox, with Utah County Sheriff Mike Smith.
14:08And I want to give a shout-out to my friends Cash Patel and Dan Bongino, who flew all the way out to Utah to make this happen.
14:14They did a great job.
14:15Those things, they did a great job.
14:17And we've got big families.
14:18We're all related.
14:19Nobody knows everybody.
14:19You can't run too far here.
14:21And I think that helped apprehend them as well.
14:23But this was a very serious thing.
14:25I spoke to President Trump the other day, just moments after Charlie had been pronounced dead.
14:30And he reiterated to me, he said, please just hope and pray that your Utah law enforcement folks keep working hard as they have been, and as I know they will be, because he said with each passing hour, it gets harder to find the assailant.
14:45And I'm so glad they did.
14:46This was an answer to a lot of prayers.
14:48Yes.
14:48A job well done by everybody out there in law enforcement and at the federal level.
14:54Great job.
14:55Thank you so much, Senator.
14:58Let's now bring in a visiting scholar at Ole Miss, Gad said.
15:02Professor, you heard Erica speak so well about good versus evil and a battle between them that needs to be waged, not physically, not violently, but through ideas and through passion and through the Holy Spirit.
15:22What are we up against here?
15:23Well, speaking of evil versus goodness, I was astonished in seeing her poison grace.
15:33It would be perfectly reasonable from an evolutionary perspective to feel rancor, vengefulness, vindictiveness.
15:40And yet, 48 hours after Charlie's murder, she's able to come address the nation with nothing but hope and love.
15:49And to the extent that she's able to do what seems to me like a superhuman ability, it largely comes from her faith.
15:57But what I wanted to do, perhaps to sort of end the show on a positive and good note, take us into the weekend, to the extent that we can do such a thing in such a tragic case.
16:06You know, teenagers are difficult to get their attention.
16:10I have a 16-year-old teenage daughter who it's hard to wrestle her away from her iPhone and so on.
16:17And I've spoken to a lot of, I have a lot of famous and powerful and impressive friends.
16:23One of the only ones that she said very shyly, hey, Daddy, do you think that when you talk today to Charlie Kirk on a show, you could introduce me to him?
16:33That's it.
16:34That says it all.
16:36She didn't ask me that when I was going to chat with Elon Musk.
16:39She didn't ask me that when I've got a litany of famous professors who want to talk to me.
16:44But when Charlie Kirk was going to chat with me, she turned into, you know, a little fangirl.
16:50That shows you the power of what Charlie did.
16:53And I think Turning Point is in good hands based on what I just saw from Erica.
16:57The future looks bright.
16:59Yeah, my 13-year-old daughter, Sophia.
17:02She's never asked me to have a picture with anybody.
17:06You know who it was?
17:07Charlie Kirk.
17:08There you go.
17:09She couldn't believe that I knew Charlie Kirk.
17:13And that's a wonderful thing.
17:16You can see that his spirit is living on through Erica.
17:22And she will be a force of nature for a long time to come.
17:32Indeed.
17:33And, you know, in evolutionary theory, there's this principle of birds of a feather flock together for a happy marriage.
17:38You want people to sort together that have similar values and so on.
17:43Boy, I've never seen it more in practice than now seeing Erica.
17:47Because I already knew Charlie well, and I knew that he was a gem.
17:50But now seeing Erica, I get why they chose each other.
17:54Yeah, and they would have been the perfect power couple, perhaps president and first lady.
17:59But things did not work out that way.
18:03And she did say that if he ever was going to run for office, his top priority would be to revive the American family.
18:11And in a beautiful and strange way, his assassination may revive the American family.
18:20And that is something we can look forward to.
18:22Gad said, thank you so much for joining us.
18:24Thank you. Cheers.
18:25And thank you, everybody, for sticking with Jesse Waters Primetime to listen to that beautiful, uplifting message from Charlie Kirk's widow, Erica, who inspired everybody to get back at it, speak truth to power, find their God, join a church, get married, have a family, and fight for what's right.
18:50Erica, we love you.
18:51Charlie, we will always love you.
18:53Have a great night, everybody.
19:04I'm open to Hannity this Friday night now.
19:06Moments ago, we saw perhaps one of the most profound, deep, impactful, meaningful speeches I've ever seen in my life.
19:15So impactful.
19:16We are going to do something that you rarely see in television.
19:19We are going to re-air this in its entirety in the course of this show pretty soon, as a matter of fact.
19:23We're now at a tipping point for the country.
19:27What Erica Kirk, Charlie Kirk's widow, did tonight is invite everyone in this country to keep his movement alive.
19:35And pledged everybody to do so with love, passion, purpose, and faith, the principles that made this country great.
19:46She vowed to keep his legacy.
19:47It was poised.
19:50It was elegant.
19:51It was gracious, full of grace, courage, strength.
19:56We're going to have full coverage.
19:58We're going to replay it and get reaction.
20:00I think it's something you should share with all your friends, your neighbors, your family, your liberal friends.
20:07It doesn't matter what political, where they lie on the political spectrum.
20:11We'll get reaction with Clay Travis, Riley Gaines, Jason Chaffetz, LJ.
20:16Lawrence Jones will be here, and others, Stephen Miller, to react to this speech.
20:21We had planned a very different show tonight.
20:23She thanked everyone.
20:24President Trump, who said Charlie loved President Trump, J.D. Vance for all that he has done for Charlie and this family, all the law enforcement, all the hard work that has gone into finding the accused assassin, turning point employees, then went into this important and powerful message.
20:46Our world is filled with evil, but our God, you guys, our God is so good, so incredibly good, and we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good for those who are called according to his purpose.
21:09Already, I have seen the worldwide outpouring of love for my husband, I've heard the testimonies from people my husband inspired to get married, to start families, to seek out a relationship with God.
21:26It's the most important, most important one of them.
21:29The evildoers, responsible for my husband's assassination, have no idea what they have done.
21:46They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith, and of God's merciful love.
21:57They should all know this.
21:59If you thought that my husband's mission was powerful before, you have no idea.
22:10You have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world.
22:18You have no idea.
22:20You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife.
22:25The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.
22:33To everyone listening tonight across America, the movement my husband built will not die.
22:45It won't.
22:47I refuse to let that happen.
22:49It will not die.
22:50All of us will refuse to let that happen.
22:56No one will ever forget my husband's name and I will make sure of it.
23:01It will become stronger, bolder, louder, and greater than ever.
23:10My husband's mission will not end, not even for a moment.
23:16You have no idea what you have unleashed.
23:18The moments will play Erica's full remarks.
23:20First, joining us now with reaction to Erica's powerful tribute to her husband,
23:26Outkick founder Clay Travis, Outkick host Riley Gaines.
23:30I said this to both of you the other night and I meant it.
23:35Like Charlie, you are two people that go into these hostile arenas,
23:41these college campuses, these indoctrination centers.
23:44You know you're often facing hostile audiences, but you do it anyway.
23:49That to me was the absolute beauty of Charlie's mission in life and what he was so good at
23:55is that he'd go in there of good cheer, you know, show me where I'm wrong and take any comer.
24:04And it gave kids what they should be learning in the classroom,
24:07gave them an opportunity to hear a different point of view.
24:10But that speech tonight, wow, I don't think I've seen anything that powerful
24:14all the time I've been doing this.
24:17Riley Gaines.
24:19No, I haven't either.
24:22Behind every strong man is a strong woman.
24:25I listened to that speech as a turning point employee.
24:28I listened to it as Charlie's friend.
24:30I listened to it as Erica's friend.
24:31But really, Sean, I listened to that speech as a wife.
24:35You have to remember this is 48 hours after losing her husband, the love of her life,
24:39the man that she has watched grow and develop personally,
24:42and how that one man has impacted not just this nation, but the world.
24:47Listening to her talk about her three-year-old daughter, Gigi, who is the most beautiful little
24:51girl, having to answer the question of, where's daddy now?
24:55You know, where's dad?
24:56As she comes home, to which I think she responded beautifully.
24:59And she says, look, he's on a work trip with Jesus.
25:01I mean, Sean, that broke me.
25:03So let me speak to Erica really quick, because maybe she's been behind the scenes to a lot
25:07of people, which I have a feeling that is soon to change.
25:11She is strong.
25:12She is beautiful.
25:13She is fierce.
25:14She is so compassionate.
25:15And of course, as we all saw, she is so faithful to her Lord and Savior.
25:20And I think Charlie would be so proud of her.
25:23And I was thrilled, of course, to hear her say the words, you know, the movement will not die.
25:29I can speak to this, what I know internally at Turning Point, we are getting donations
25:33like we have never seen before.
25:35We have had thousands and thousands and thousands of kids ask how to start a chapter, how they
25:39can get involved.
25:40People are buying Bibles like we've never seen before.
25:44People are messaging me, staff, saying that they're going to church for the first time this
25:48Sunday and maybe several years, some of them for the first time in their life.
25:53The left, or as Erica put it, the evildoers, they have just ignited a total revival amongst
26:00conservatives and Christians.
26:04I can't say it any more eloquently.
26:07Clay, I'm dying to get your reaction to this.
26:09We've been doing this a long time.
26:11And to see such a powerful speech, which, again, I don't think, I just think people need
26:18to see it again and again, because we can all take something from this.
26:22This is a rallying cry of a widow, but a rallying cry for a nation as well.
26:28Your reaction?
26:30She was incredible.
26:32And the story of how they met, that Charlie initially thought he was potentially going
26:38to recruit her to come work at Turning Point.
26:40And after a three-hour date, he said, you know what, I can't hire you, but I want to date
26:46you.
26:46And they ended up getting married and obviously having an incredible relationship.
26:52And the question number one that I think a lot of people are asking is, what now?
26:56What's next?
26:57And she answered it.
26:58And she answered it eloquently and with grace and also with fire, which is a hard combination
27:04to deliver.
27:06And when you try to silence somebody, what you are really saying is, I'm afraid of their
27:12ideas.
27:13They couldn't out-debate Charlie Kirk.
27:15And so they tried to kill him.
27:18Unfortunately, she is here.
27:20And there are so many people.
27:22I'm on a college campus right now, Sean.
27:24The number of young men and young women reacting to this that are more energized than ever.
27:31I think the work that Charlie Kirk is going to do, thanks to his wife, Erica, and everybody
27:37who is working so hard to speak out now, is going to be more powerful than it ever has
27:43been before.
27:43As she said, they have not silenced him at all.
27:46They have unleashed a whole new revolution of his message.
27:51And for her, as Riley said, 48 hours after her husband's death, to deliver this stirring,
27:59this evocative, this incredible of a speech is a final testament to Charlie Kirk's outstanding
28:06choice of a spouse because she was phenomenal.
28:10Riley, you'd go on these college campuses and, wow, I have seen the videotapes.
28:16I've seen days you couldn't even get out on the stage because of angry protesters.
28:22They didn't want to hear what you had to say.
28:25I would imagine things are going to change drastically.
28:29Thoughts?
28:31Yeah, I certainly agree.
28:33I think very few people, unless you're very tuned in, know what we're up against.
28:38And I think this particular incident, what has happened to Charlie Kirk, I mean, as Erica
28:43said, I mean, she described him as a martyr.
28:45And I think that's a perfect word for Charlie.
28:48I think we're going to see a lot of apprehension, reluctancy from campuses, from colleges, from
28:52universities to have people like Clay Travis or me or you or other conservative political
28:59figures out on college campuses.
29:01I think they're going to see this as a liability, but we cannot allow that to happen.
29:05As President Trump said this morning on Fox, he said, we must go forward.
29:10And so look, with full steam ahead, that, of course, is my goal.
29:13That is what I will be doing.
29:15As Erica said, it's up to us now.
29:19Ben Shapiro put it pretty well.
29:20He said, it's up to us to pick up the microphone that Charlie left behind.
29:25And I think that's exactly what they've done.
29:28Erica said, she said, if you thought my husband's mission was powerful before, you have no idea.
29:33So I'm excited.
29:35I'm hopeful.
29:35It's weird to say you're hopeful in a time filled with with grief and with sadness and
29:40truthfully for me, with anger.
29:42But I feel hopeful at this point, Sean.
29:45I feel hopeful and I feel inspired watching that.
29:48And, you know, the love between them was beyond palpable, you know, saying how Charlie would
29:56ask every day, how can I be a better husband?
29:59How can I be a better father?
30:01I hope everybody, every guy out there takes takes that message and makes that their battle
30:07cry, that you you serve your partner and we could all get along better.
30:13Clay, Riley, thank you both.
30:15As I mentioned a moment ago, and we have a lot of great guests tonight.
30:19I want to play a large portion of Erica Kirk's powerful address in the wake of her husband's
30:23assassination.
30:24Nobody could say it any better.
30:26She thanked President Trump.
30:27She thanked Vice President J.D. Vance.
30:30She thanked the second later, Usha Vance.
30:33She thanked all the law enforcement.
30:35And, of course, she thanked her Turning Point family and then delivered a speech that I guarantee
30:42will have reverberations and impact for many decades to come.
30:49Take a look.
30:50Two days ago, my husband, Charlie, went to see the face of his Savior and his God.
30:59Charlie always said that when he was gone, he he wanted to be remembered for his courage
31:06and for his faith.
31:09And one of the final conversations that he had on this earth, my husband witnessed for
31:16his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
31:18Now and for all eternity, he will stand at his Savior's side, wearing the glorious crown
31:32of a martyr.
31:35Charlie loved, loved life.
31:39He loved his life.
31:41He loved America.
31:43He loved nature, which helped him always bring him closer to God.
31:51He loved the Chicago Cubs.
31:54And my goodness, did he love the Oregon Ducks.
31:58Want me to say go Ducks, so I have to since they play on Saturday.
32:03So go Ducks.
32:03But most of all, Charlie loved his children.
32:13And he loved me with all of his heart.
32:17And I knew that.
32:19Every day I knew that.
32:20He made sure I knew that every day.
32:23Every day he would ask me, how can I serve you better?
32:27How can I be a better husband?
32:28How can I be a better father?
32:29Every day, every day, he was such a good man.
32:34He still is a good man.
32:37He was the perfect father.
32:40He was the perfect husband.
32:43Charlie always believed that God's design for marriage and the family was absolutely amazing.
32:48And it is.
32:50It is.
32:50And it was the greatest joy of his life.
32:53And over and over, he would tell all these young people to come and find their future spouse, become wives and husbands and parents.
33:06And the reason why is because he wanted you all to experience what he had and still has.
33:13He wanted everyone to bring heaven into this earth through love and joy that comes from raising a family.
33:22It's beautiful.
33:26Charlie always said that if he ever ran for office, I know a lot of you asked if he ever was going to, but privately he told me.
33:33If he ever did run for office, that his top priority would be to revive the American family.
33:43That was his priority.
33:46One of Charlie's favorite Bible verses was Ephesians 5, verse 25.
33:50Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
34:09My husband laid down his life for me, for our nation, for our children.
34:17He showed the ultimate and true covenantal love.
34:24I will never, ever have the words to describe the loss that I feel in my heart.
34:32I honestly have no idea what any of this means.
34:36I know that God does, but I don't.
34:40But Charlie, baby, I know you do, too.
34:43I know you do.
34:45So does our Lord.
34:47And our world is filled with evil.
34:53But our God, you guys, our God is so good.
34:59He's so incredibly good.
35:03And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good.
35:08For those who are called according to his purpose.
35:11Already, I have seen the worldwide outpouring of love for my husband.
35:20I've heard the testimonies from people my husband inspired to get married, to start families, to seek out a relationship with God.
35:29And it's the most important, most important, most important, most important one of all.
35:36The evildoers responsible for my husband's assassination have no idea what they have done.
35:47They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith, and of God's merciful love.
35:58They should all know this.
36:01If you thought that my husband's mission was powerful before, you have no idea.
36:10You have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country.
36:19In this world, you have no idea.
36:21You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife.
36:30The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.
36:41To everyone listening tonight across America, the movement my husband built will not die.
36:48It won't.
36:48I refuse to let that happen.
36:52It will not die.
36:55All of us will refuse to let that happen.
36:59No one will ever forget my husband's name, and I will make sure of it.
37:06It will become stronger, bolder, louder, and greater than ever.
37:14My husband's mission will not end, not even for a moment.
37:18And one of Charlie's greatest talents was his ability, this phenomenal ability to choose great people to follow him.
37:28He could always find the ones who could handle any setback.
37:33And it's almost like he knew.
37:35He just, he could see it in you.
37:37Even when you couldn't see it in yourself, he just knew.
37:39He knew you could handle it.
37:41You thought you only had 5% left, and he knew you at 15.
37:46He knew you were ready to go that extra mile even when you didn't.
37:49He always challenged people around him to work harder and to be better.
37:55He never gave up.
37:57And I love knowing that one of his, one of his mottos was never surrender.
38:02So I want to tell you that, that we'll never surrender.
38:09We never will.
38:10Ever.
38:13Ever.
38:16Our campus tour this fall will continue.
38:20There will be even more tours in the years to come.
38:23America Fest here in Phoenix, this December will go on.
38:29It will be greater than ever.
38:32The radio and podcast show that he was so proud of will go on.
38:42And in a world filled with chaos, doubt, and uncertainty, my husband's voice will remain.
38:48And it will ring out louder and more clearly than ever.
38:51And his wisdom will endure.
38:57My favorite, my favorite too, but my husband's favorite word in the English language was earn.
39:07He would call all of you to be people of action who earn the future America deserves.
39:16So to all of the young people who felt inspired by my husband's faith in hard work,
39:21all of you already know what Charlie would want you to do.
39:26You know.
39:29You know.
39:31If you're in high school or if you're in college, go find your local Turning Point USA chapter.
39:37Join it.
39:39Stay involved.
39:40He wants you to make a difference.
39:44And you can.
39:47You can.
39:48The movement's not going anywhere.
39:50And it will only grow stronger when you join it.
39:55If there isn't a chapter, you can't find one, then start one.
39:59There is no excuse.
40:00You can start one.
40:01And as my husband used to say in this room every single day, if you want to get involved,
40:07the best way you can do that is going to tpusa.com.
40:11That's what he would say every day from this chair.
40:13Every single day.
40:14I watched his show every day.
40:16And he would always say, if you want to get involved, go to tpusa.com.
40:19If you're a pastor, join our movement at TPUSA Faith.
40:25And if you're a parent, I highly recommend that you come to America Fest in December.
40:32Sign up right now for that because we would love to see you.
40:35I would love to see you.
40:37Charlie would.
40:38He'll be there.
40:39He'll be there in spirit.
40:43Bring your kids.
40:44Bring your family.
40:46But most important of all, if you aren't a member of a church,
40:49I beg you to join one.
40:52A Bible-believing church.
40:55Our battle is not simply a political one.
40:57Above all, it is spiritual.
41:00It is spiritual.
41:01The spiritual warfare is palpable.
41:07Charlie loved his Savior with all of his heart.
41:10And he wanted every one of you to know him, too.
41:14He wanted everyone to know that if they confess,
41:17if they confess the Lord Jesus Christ who rose from the dead,
41:23then they will be saved.
41:29Hear me when I say this.
41:30Nobody is ever too young to know the gospel.
41:34Nobody.
41:36Nobody is ever too young to get involved with saving this beautiful country,
41:40this country my husband loved and still loves.
41:43And nobody is ever too old, either.
41:48There's no age limit.
41:52I know my husband is still here.
41:57He's watching over us.
41:58I don't remember the last time I slept.
42:06I couldn't sleep last night.
42:09And...
42:12Charlie, baby.
42:14Charlie, I promise.
42:16I will never let your legacy die, baby.
42:19I won't.
42:20I promise.
42:21I'll make Turning Point USA the biggest thing that this nation has ever seen.
42:25I promise.
42:30Charlie, I love you.
42:32I love you, baby.
42:35Rest in the arms of our Lord
42:37as he blankets you with the words I know your heart always strives to hear.
42:45Well done, my good and faithful servant.
42:47When I got home last night...
42:56Gigi, our daughter, just ran into my arms.
43:04And I talked to her and she said,
43:06Mommy, I missed you.
43:08I said, I missed you, baby.
43:09She goes, where's Daddy?
43:12What do you tell a three-year-old?
43:14She's three.
43:15She's three.
43:17I said, baby, Daddy loves you so much.
43:22Don't you worry.
43:23He's on a work trip with Jesus
43:25so he can afford your blueberry budget.
43:31And my goodness, am I so humbled to witness
43:35Charlie, you alongside Jesus right now
43:39doing what you always want to do, baby.
43:44Making heaven crowded, right?
43:46That's what it's all about.
43:48Making heaven crowded.
43:53I can't wait to see you again one day.
43:59Thank you all again who love my husband,
44:02who supported him,
44:04who wrote him an email every single day
44:06during his radio show.
44:08He read all of them.
44:10All of them.
44:10All of them.
44:10God bless you all.
44:21And may God bless America.
44:23So powerful.
44:27Joining us now, former FBI special agent,
44:29Fox News contributor, Nicole Parker.
44:32Just the News.com founder, editor-in-chief,
44:34chief investigative reporter, John Solomon.
44:37Fox News contributor, Jason Chavis.
44:39They've all been part of our coverage all week long.
44:41Let me start with you.
44:44Maybe one of the most powerful statements
44:46I've ever heard, Nicole.
44:51Sean, I can unequivocally tell you,
44:54I have never met Erica Kirk.
44:56She is serving as an instrument
44:58in the hands of God right now.
45:00I'm very emotional.
45:02You know, I'm one person who is very familiar
45:04with what she was talking about.
45:06The battle between good and evil is real.
45:09I don't know how y'all felt,
45:11but I felt the light
45:12that I have been missing all week long,
45:16having come on air
45:17and discussed the tragedy
45:20that we in the law enforcement community
45:23have to see every day.
45:25It is a battle between good and evil.
45:27But tonight...
