Following Charlie Kirk's tragic assassination at Utah Valley University on September 10th,
00:05
video is recirculating online from an episode of the Iced Coffee Hour podcast,
00:09
in which the conservative powerhouse details how he would want to be remembered.
00:13
If everything completely goes away, how do you want to be remembered?
00:18
I mean, if I die?
00:19
Everything just goes away. How would you—
00:21
if you could be associated with one thing, how would you want to be remembered?
00:25
I want to be remembered for courage, for my faith.
00:28
That would be the most important thing. The most important thing is my faith in my life.
00:32
Kirk, who was the CEO of the nonprofit Turning Point USA, rose to prominence on YouTube and on X,
00:38
and became famous for his unapologetic and often boldly stated conservative opinions.
00:44
Many times, the 31-year-old shared his Christian faith openly with those he debated.
00:48
Christ is not just grace-focused. He's simultaneously truth-focused.
00:53
He goes up to the woman who had a career in selling herself for sex.
00:58
and said, sin no more.
01:01
Now, imagine today how much trouble you would get in if you would go up to somebody and say,
01:06
stop sinning.
01:08
No, you're being too judgmental.
01:10
No, no, you're actually being Christ-like.
01:12
If it's a couple pennies out of my tax dollars to feed those don't want food,
01:15
I think that's a Christian obligation of the government to fulfill.
01:17
But, no, again, it's never biblically obligated to use the state to do that.
01:22
The church should do that.
01:23
Okay, okay, perfect.
01:23
And that's, so I personally give a fair amount of my tithes and my donations to local churches
01:29
to help do these things, and I hope everybody else does that as well.
01:33
Kirk was also a proponent of the idea that the United States was built as a Christian nation.
01:37
One of the reasons we're living through a constitutional crisis is that we no longer have
01:41
a Christian nation, but we have a Christian form of government, and they're incompatible.
01:45
So you cannot have liberty if you do not have a Christian population.
01:49
Kirk grew up in the Chicago suburb of Prospect Heights and founded TPUSA when he was 18 years old.
01:55
The nonprofit now has a presence on more than 3,500 campuses.
02:00
In February 2025, Kirk joined the Trinity Broadcasting Network to host a weekday talk show called
02:06
Charlie Kirk Today.
02:07
Kirk is survived by his wife Erica Fransvie, whom he married in 2021, and two young children.
