00:00Erica Kirk delivers speech on courage at Ole Miss.

00:04Hundreds of students gathered at the University of Mississippi

00:07to hear Turning Point USA CEO Erica Kirk speak just seven weeks

00:12after the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk, the organization's founder.

00:17The event honored his legacy and urged students to embrace faith and purpose.

00:22Erica shared personal reflections on Charlie's disciplined daily routine

00:25and a Bible-inspired quote by his bedside.

00:28They will be known by the boldness of their faith,

00:31which, she said, gained deeper meaning after his death.

00:34When Charlie would get to his desk, he asked himself three questions.

00:38Kirk explained to the audience,

00:39What is something I can do for someone today?

00:42What is something I can do to add value to the world today?

00:45And how can I honor God today?

00:47According to Erica, these questions were his foundation,

00:51a daily practice of selflessness and faith that shaped how he approached each day.

00:55Erica Kirk told students that courage is built through deliberate small acts.

01:00She said her husband's faith and daily routine gave him the strength to stand firm in his beliefs,

01:06even amid adversity.

01:08What I'm realizing with that is those were the action points of how to have courage, she said.

01:13Because you can ask me, well, how do I become courageous?

01:17Ask yourself those three questions every single day,

01:21and I promise you, you will get courage.

01:23Kirk also emphasized the shortness of life and the importance of living with meaning.

01:29What death amplifies even more is that you only get one life, she told the students.

01:34And I want to remind you that God has created you for greatness.

01:38The event, held under heightened security, featured Vice President J.D. Vance,

01:42who praised Erica and Charlie Kirk as true examples of American courage and conviction.

01:48Since Charlie's death, Erica has taken a more public leadership role at Turning Point USA,

01:53and her speech deeply resonated with students seeking guidance in uncertain times.

01:58Charlie was trying to raise up courageous young people, she said.

02:01That work doesn't stop.

02:03It's just beginning.

02:04The investigation into Charlie Kirk's assassination remains ongoing,

02:08with few details released and no confirmed motive, drawing national attention.

02:11Erica Kirk's message emphasized hope, resilience, and purposeful living,

02:16urging students to act boldly in faith and service.
