"He [Kirk] believed it was so strongly, so strong. And he's right. He's totally he's totally right. The radicals and their allies in the media, sometimes referred to as my son, said the fake news media tried to silence Charlie for a simple reason because he was winning and he was winning big. He was taking over college campuses, colleges that had, in theory, only very liberal or, as they like to say, progressive. I call them liberal, but they like to call themselves such a beautiful word, progressive. They're the opposite of progressive, if you think about it. But they were really nasty. And he would go into these colleges all of a sudden within two years, three years, they turned into bastions of conservatism. It was really quite amazing to see they lied about him because they did not want you to listen to him or to learn from him, because what he was talking about and even preaching made so much sense. Everywhere he went. He won the debates. He won the hearts, he won the minds, and yes, he won the elections for people. He helped us. He helped other people. We won the biggest election in the history of our country. I believe. Charlie Kirk was without a doubt among the most influential figures in the most important election in the history of our country."

Wow, what a load of shit.

"The election of, oh, that beautiful day, November 5th, 2024. Do you remember that day? It was nine months ago. What a day that was. I mean, we had a pretty good day in the first one. And I must tell you on the second one, we had a phenomenal day, but a lot of bad things happened. And now that's not even questioned. They cheated like dogs, but we got them back then. We have got them back. But we owe Charlie a profound and eternal debt of gratitude. Now, just like Charlie and Erica made Turning Point hot, we are looking at a country that has the chance to attain a level like never before. Tariffs are making us rich again, richer than anybody ever thought was possible, and the only one challenging them are people that hate our country, or foreign countries that are paying a price because they did the same thing to us for years. They took advantage of us. But where we're making money, we're becoming richer and richer, and we're taking care of our people better and better. When we do that, we can take care of other countries better and better, but we're doing unbelievably well. The tariffs have really been a hold. The election was big, but the tariffs because of the election came in. And remember other nations do that to us. And Charlie understood that. He saw the money he saw was coming into our country. And we can use that for Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, all of these things that we fight so hard for."

"And that's exactly what's happening. The numbers are incredible. When the news finally came out on election night last November, that the race was officially won came out pretty early in the night. Charlie was live on camera. In that moment, he was overcome with emotion. I've never seen him like this. It was so happy for a long while. He said nothing. His eyes were filled with tears and then he buried his face in his hands and he started crying. That wasn't the Charlie I knew, but in thinking about it, it actually was the Charlie I know because he had a tremendous heart. He just wanted what was good for our country, and he saw us going in such a horrible direction. And this was so beautiful. Erica put a Maga hat on to cover his bald head. I like that very much. MAGA we love does everybody love MAGA? Make America Great again? When Joe Biden used to get up, remember the speeches. We will stop MAGA, we will stop MAGA. You know, he could barely get the words out. We will stop. I said, can somebody inform him? The MAGA means make America great again? How do you say you're going to stop it? And Charlie understood that when Charlie finally looked up and spoke his smile through the watery eyes and simply said, I am humbled by God's grace. That was his statement that night while I was watching him. I was very impressed, actually. It showed he had a big heart."

"Every single American should take a long, hard look at the twisted soul and dark spirit of anyone who would want to kill a young man as good as Charlie, to kill anybody but to kill a man like this. He didn't deserve this. He didn't deserve this. Our country didn't deserve this. And anyone who would make excuses for it are just out of their mind. Charlie's murder was not just an attack on one man or one movement. It was an attack on our entire nation. That was a horrible attack on the United States of America. It was an assault on our most sacred liberties and God given rights. The gun was pointed at him, but the bullet was aimed at all of us. That bullet was aimed at every one of us. Indeed, Charlie was killed for expressing the very ideas that virtually everyone in this arena and most other places throughout our country, deeply believed in. But the assassin failed in his quest because Charlie's message has not been silenced. It now is bigger and better and stronger than ever before, and it's not even close. And it's rare that such a thing happens. But Charlie is bigger today than he was. Think about it just two weeks ago. He's bigger today than it was two weeks ago. Now that may not help his friends and loved ones, of which there are so many and may not help Eric and those beautiful children who have to suffer so horribly through this moment. But they know it's true. He's bigger now than ever before, and he's eternal. He's eternal. And I just want to say we love him and he's looking down at us right now and he's saying, wow, that's a great crowd. He say, that's a great crowd."

"And it's a great crowd of patriots. But that's why I will soon award Charlie the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It's the highest civilian honor. That we will do the ceremony at our beautiful white House in a very safe Washington, D.C., a place that Charlie truly revered. Yeah. We stopped the crime in Washington. Took 12 days. Now you can go to restaurants. You can walk down the middle of the street with your wife. You can have your wife walk alone down the middle of the street. She's got to be in good shape. What a difference. What a difference good management really makes. But it's. Well, I'm so proud of that. Washington DC you know, it's one of the worst in the nation in the world. And now it's considered a very safe city. And, it's also I passed it yesterday. I went through it. And the the lawns are good. It's like a different place. It's like the tents are gone. The threats are gone. The gangs aren't there. We got rid of, you know, we took out 1500 career criminals."

"If you have three career criminals, that can make a big difference. But I'm so proud of Washington's DC. And now we're going into Memphis. And we'll get that one straightened out fast. And then we're going into some others. But we're going to go to Chicago and we're going to have Charlie very much in mind when we go into Chicago. And we'll get that one straightened out. You have an incompetent governor who he thinks it's okay when 11 people get murdered over the weekend. He thinks you don't have any crime. When 11 people get murdered and 28 people get shot. He says he's got crime. No, they they don't have it under control. But we'll have it under control very quickly. So we're going to be doing that. And Charlie loved what we were doing. He was so proud of what happened. He was there. The city are so proud of what happened in Washington DC. As you know, the depraved assassin who planned and executed Charlie's killing has been arrested and charged with capital murder. God willing, he will receive the full and ultimate punishment for his horrific crime. It's a terrible thing. Because you can't let that happen. You can't let that happen. Can't let it happen to a country. The Department of Justice is also investigating networks of radical left maniacs who fund organized fuel and perpetrate political violence and we think we know who many of them are. But law enforcement can only be the beginning of our response to Charlie's murder."

"Over the last 11 days, we have heard stories of commentators, influencers and others in our society who greeted his assassination with sick approval, excuses, or even jubilation. You've heard that some of I couldn't believe it. Some of the very same people who spent the last eight years trying to sit in moral judgment of anyone who disagreed with them about politics, suddenly started cheering for a murder. Incredible. You know, the names? They're, major losers, by the way. There'll be. That will be proven out in a short period of time. Some of the very people who call you a hater for using the wrong pronoun were filled with glee at the killing of a father with two beautiful young children and the same commentators who this week are screaming fascism over a canceled late night TV show where the anchor had no talent and no ratings last week, we're implying that Charlie Kirk deserved what happened to him. No side in American politics has a monopoly on disturbed or misguided people. But there's one part of our political community which believes they have a monopoly on truth, goodness and virtue and concludes they have also a monopoly on power, thought and speech. Well, that's not happening anymore. We've turned that corner very quickly. Tragically, atrocities of this kind and the kind that we saw in Utah of all places, are the eventual consequence of that kind of thinking. If speech is violence, then some are bound to conclude that violence is justified."

"To stop speech, and we're not going to let that be justified. The tradition of reason, an open debate that Charlie practiced, is not a pillar of our democracy in many ways. It's the basis of our entire society. It's the rights and inheritance of every free American. The greatest legacy of the enlightenment, and among the most treasured achievements of civilized nation. We will defend it at all costs, and we will carry forward the torch of liberty that Charlie Kirk held so proud and so high. He was so proud. And he did hold that torch high. We will never, ever let it fail. We will never let it fail. But we're going to raise it higher than ever before. It's got to be raised. And this is the beginning. Perhaps it should be no surprise to Charlie, who spent his life speaking with the critics of these traditions, ultimately became convinced that we needed not just a political realignment, but also a spiritual reawakening. We did. And we have to bring back religion to America, because without borders, law and order and religion, you really don't have a country anymore. We want religion brought back to America. We want to bring God back into our beautiful USA like never before. We want God back. Charlie would have been so pleased to hear his friends and colleagues today giving testimony and giving glory to God."

"Within minutes of the gunshot. In Utah, millions of Americans, young and old, heard the news and dropped to their knees and started praying. Even many who rarely prayed ask God for a miracle. Please God save Charlie. But although Charlie's time with us on earth has ended, those prayers for a miracle have already been answered. Look at what's happening. Look at what's happening. In the days since Charlie's death, we have seen how his legacy has touched so many millions around the world. In Calgary, Canada, thousands gathered at City Hall to sing the American national anthem and raise up posters with the name Charlie Kirk. In Seoul, South Korea, crowds gathered to wave American flags and shout, we are for Charlie Kirk! His memory has been honored in the streets of Berlin, Warsaw, Vienna, Sydney, Madrid, London, Tel Aviv and all over the world. So beautiful to watch. A man as far away as rural Australia texted a pastor. I'm going to come to church tomorrow for the first time ever. The pastor says, why is that? The man replied, Because of Charlie Kirk. Can you imagine? The lesson of Charlie's life is that you should never underestimate what one person can do with a good heart, a righteous cause, a cheerful spirit, and the will to fight, fight, fight, have to fight. While saving our country. And Charlie's a big factor. Such a big factor. Charlie Kirk started with only an idea to change minds on college campuses, and instead he ended up with a far greater achievement changing history. He changed history. Today, Charlie Kirk rests in glory in heaven for all eternity. He has gone from speaking on campuses in Wisconsin to kneeling at the throne of God, where he is right now. We grieve for the friend and leader that we have lost, but we go forward, strengthened by his faith and bolstered by his courage and inspired by his example to defend the country he lived for."
