WORTH READING THE FULL TRANSCRIPT ✝️

Good evening. My name is Erika Kirk. Charlie Kirk is my husband. I first want to thank the local, state, and federal law enforcement who worked tirelessly to capture my husband's assassin so that he can be brought to justice. I want to thank the first responders who struggled heroically, heroically, to save Charles' life, and the police who acted bravely to make sure that there were no other victims on that terrible afternoon.

I want to thank the officers who have protected our Turning Point USA family these past two days. And I want to thank the Turning Point USA board, the COO Justin Streiff, and my husband's chief of staff, the amazing Mikey McCoy, for all their work in these terrible days to be the stability for our family and for the wider Turning Point USA family as well. My heart is with every one of my husband's employees who lost a friend and a mentor.

I wanna thank the staffers of this, his amazing Charlie Kirk Show, who helped him broadcast from this studio, this—

This chair. Every day he loved it. He loved—

What he did. I wanna thank the millions of people who have shown their love for Charlie here in Phoenix, across America, and worldwide. I wanna thank my husband's dear friend, Vice President Vance, and his phenomenal wife, Usha, for their love and support. You guys honored my husband so well bringing him home.

You both are—I guess.

I wanna thank President Trump and his incredible family for the same. Mr. President, my husband loved you. And he knew that you loved him too. He did. Your friendship was amazing. You supported him so well. I stood here for you.

Two days ago, my husband, Charlie, went to see the face of his savior and his God. Charlie always said that when he was gone, he wanted to be remembered for his courage and for his faith. And one of the final conversations that he had on this earth, my husband witnessed for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 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. He loved nature, which helped him always bring him closer to God. He loved the Chicago Cubs. And my goodness, did he love the Oregon Ducks. He wanted me to say "Go Ducks," so I have to, since they play on Saturday. So—Go Ducks.

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. He made sure I knew that every day. Every day he would ask me, how can I serve you better? How can I be a better husband? How can I be a better father every day?

Every day. He is such a good man. He still is a good man.

He was the perfect father. He was the perfect husband. Charlie always believed that God's design for marriage and the family was absolutely amazing, and it is. It is, and it was the greatest joy of his life. And over and over, he would tell all these young people to come and find their future spouse, become wives and husbands and parents. And the reason why is because he wanted you all to experience what he had. And still has.

He wanted everyone to bring heaven into this earth through love and joy that comes from raising a family. It's beautiful. Charlie 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 if he ever did run for office that his top priority would be to revive the American family. That was his priority.

One of Charlie's favorite Bible verses was Ephesians 5, verse 25: "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." My husband laid down his life for me, for our nation, for our children. He showed the ultimate and true covenantal love.

I will never, ever have the words to describe the loss that I feel in my heart. I honestly have no idea what any of this means. I know that God does, but I don't. But Charlie, baby, I know you do too. I know you do. So it is, our Lord. And our world is filled with evil. But our God, you guys, our God is so good. He's 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.

Already, 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. It's the most important, most important one of them.

The evildoers 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 had no idea. You had no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country, in this world. You have no idea.

You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry. 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. All of us will refuse to let that happen. No one will ever forget my husband's name, and I will make sure of it.

It will become stronger, bolder, louder, and greater than ever. My husband's mission will not end, not even for a moment. And one of Charlie's greatest talents was his ability, this phenomenal ability, to choose great people to follow him. He could always find the ones who could handle any setback.

And it's almost like he knew—he just, he could see it in you. Even when you couldn't see it in yourself, he just knew. He knew you could handle it. You thought you only had five percent left, and he knew you had fifteen. He knew you were ready to go that extra mile even when you didn't.

He always challenged people around him to work harder and to be better. He never gave up. And I love knowing that one of his mottos was "Never surrender." So I wanna tell you that—that will never surrender. We never will. Ever. Ever.

Our campus tour this fall will continue. There will be even more tours in the years to come. America Fest here in Phoenix this December will go on. It will be greater than ever. The radio and podcast show that he was so proud of will go on. And in a world filled with chaos, doubt, and uncertainty, my husband's voice will remain, and it will ring out louder and more clearly than ever, and his wisdom will endure.

My favorite—my, my favorite too—but my husband's favorite word in the English language was "earn." He would call all of you to be people of action who earn the future America deserves. So to all of the young people who felt inspired by my husband's faith and hard work, all of you already know what Charlie would want you to do. You know?

If you're in high school or if you're in college, go find your local Turning Point USA chapter. Join it. Stay involved. He wants you to make a difference, and you can. You can. The movement's not going anywhere, and it will only grow stronger when you join it. If there isn't a chapter, you can't find one, then start one. There is no excuse. You can start one.

And as my husband used to say in this room every single day: If you wanna get involved, the best way you can do that is going to https://t.co/UTZfE3OsMK. That's what he would say every day from this chair. Every single day, I watched his show, every day, and he would always say, if you wanna get involved, go to https://t.co/UTZfE3OsMK.

If you're a pastor, join our movement at TPUSA Faith. And if you're a parent, I highly recommend that you come to America Fest in December. Sign up right now for that because we would love to see you. I would love to see you. Charlie would. He'll be there. He'll be there in spirit.

Bring your kids, bring your family. But most important of all, if you aren't a member of a church, I beg you to join one, a Bible-believing church. Our battle is not simply a political one. Above all, it is spiritual. It is spiritual. The spiritual warfare is palpable.

Charlie loved his Savior with all of his heart, and he wanted every one of you to know him too. He wanted everyone to know that if they confess—if they confess the Lord Jesus Christ who rose from the dead—then they will be saved. Hear me when I say this: Nobody is ever too young to know the gospel. Nobody.

Nobody is ever too young to get involved with saving this beautiful country, this country my husband loved and still loves. And nobody is ever too old either. There's no age limit. I know my husband is still here. He's watching over us. I don't remember the last time I slept. I couldn't sleep last night.

And Charlie, baby, Charlie, I promise, I will never let your legacy die, baby. I won't. I promise I'll make Turning Point USA the biggest thing that this nation has ever seen. I promise. Oh, Charlie, I love you. I love you, baby. Rest in the arms of our Lord, as He blanketed you with the words I know your heart always strived to hear: "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

When I got home last night, Gigi, our daughter, just ran into our arms. And I talked to her and she said, "Mommy, I missed you." I said, "I missed you too, baby." She goes, "Where's Daddy?"

What do you tell a three-year-old? She's three.

Say, "Baby, Daddy loves you so much. Don't you worry. He's on a—he's on a work trip with Jesus, so he can afford your blueberry budget." And my goodness, am I so humbled to witness Charlie, you alongside Jesus right now, doing what you always wanted to do, baby. Making heaven crowded. Right? That's what it's all about. Making heaven crowded.

I can't wait to see you again one day. Thank you all again who loved my husband, who supported him, who wrote him an email every single day during his radio show. He read all of them. All of them. God bless you all, and may God bless America.

"The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!" - President Donald J. Trump

[Debra Lea @thedebralea]

Instead of sharing the horrific, vile, & heart-stopping video of Charlie Kirk being shot, I urge you to share images of his beautiful family whose worst nightmare has come true.

Every kid deserves a dad.
Every wife deserves a husband.
Every American needs Charlie Kirk.

“When discourse ends, violence begins.”

- Charlie Kirk

All he wanted to do is talk to you people, and you fucking shot him for it.

I feel sick seeing what this country has become.

[Turning Point UK 🇬🇧 @TPointUK]

Charlie is a fighter and we are praying for him to keep fighting.

We will not be defeated or intimidated by evil.

[Allie ✞ @allie__voss]

Pray that these kids keep their dad and this wife keeps her husband.

🙏 Lord, we lift up Charlie Kirk in this immediate moment. Grant him strength, his doctors wisdom, and the kind of protection only YOU can provide. 🇺🇸✝️

[Corinne Clark Barron @corinnec]

I pray Charlie Kirk survived that shot and that the only reason we ever see that video again is as proof of faith and a miracle that happened today.

Keep praying.

@mcuban I don’t elect a president based on who I want my child to emulate. That’s the first problem with this post.

🚨 BREAKING: Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned

[DC_Draino @DC_Draino]

FL Rep @realannapaulina calls for criminal perjury inquiry for Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle

Says she lied about knowing the shooter was a threat before Trump got on stage

She also told Cheatle to her face she’s disgusted by her answers and told her to resign

Wow

Never forget that when Kamala Harris was 29-years-old, she started an AFFAIR with 60-year-old Willie Brown, he was a married California house speaker, Mayor of San Francisco and one of the most powerful in California

He bought Kamala expensive gifts like a BMW and appointed her to two influential positions. He named Kamala to the California Medical Assistance Commission, a job that paid $72,000 a year and also appointed her to the state's Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board, a lucrative position that put another $97,088 a year in her pockets. Brown later faced an FBI corruption investigation for handing out lucrative city contracts and appointments to friends and political allies.

Even after he dumped Kamala in 1995, he still continued to use his influence to promote her career, "I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco." - Brown

Harris was elected California's attorney general in 2010 with massive help from Willie and when she ran for United States Senate in 2016, Brown called on her likely opponent, Antonio Villaraigosa, to stay out of the race

This is why I call her Kamala Hoerris

Is the greatest economy in the world in the room with us?

Can anyone confirm or deny that JD Vance is the successor to Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration? I do think it’s important that we figure that out first and foremost.

[ashjanfulk @ashjanfulk]

@JoeBiden Wait I thought we were uniting as Americans yesterday… today Trump/Vance is a threat to democracy again? I have whiplash
