Bronx Vigil Honors Charlie Kirk: Savannah and Supporters Remember a Man of Faith and Freedom

[00:00] I am Charlie Kirk.

[00:02] >> I am Charlie Kirk.

[00:04] >> I am Charlie Kirk.

[00:06] >> I am Charlie Kirk.

[00:08] >> I am Charlie Kirk.

[00:10] >> I am Charlie Kirk.

[00:11] >> I am Charlie Kirk.

[00:13] >> I am Charlie Kirk.

[00:21] >> Hey everyone, it's Savannah with her

[00:23] Patriot voice. We're in the Bronx today

[00:25] for a Charlie Kirk vigil. It's the first

[00:28] one that I've been able to go to since

[00:30] unfortunately I was out of the country

[00:33] when he passed. There is so many people

[00:35] here tonight. You are going to be able

[00:37] to hear from myself, multiple other

[00:39] people who were touched by Charlie Kirk.

[00:44] >> The world has lost

[00:47] >> a man that was truly sent by God. And we

[00:50] are going to

[00:52] just pay respects to him tonight. pay

[00:55] respects to his family, especially

[00:58] Erica, as he's laid to rest today.

[01:03] Thank you all for watching, and let's

[01:05] get on with the video.

[01:10] [Music]

[01:18] >> And

[01:22] the

[01:24] [Music]

[01:29] One nation under God, indivisible,

[01:33] liberty and justice. Justice for all.

[01:37] >> If you feel something rising in you,

[01:39] take hold of it and go forward with it.

[01:41] If you have any young people in your

[01:43] life that have the desire to speak out,

[01:45] support them. Let them know that their

[01:48] voices matter and tell them not to let

[01:50] anyone tell them who they are ever. Our

[01:52] freedom comes from God, not from the

[01:55] government.

[01:56] So

[01:59] now the Lord is the spirit and where the

[02:02] spirit is of the Lord is there is

[02:04] freedom. That's Corinthians 3:17. So I

[02:07] really just pray for all the people that

[02:09] are suffering from losses from from all

[02:13] the violence that is going on in the

[02:14] world. And I I hope we can all take

[02:18] God's word and and use it and and try

[02:21] and make everything better.

[02:22] >> The day Charlie Kirk was murdered,

[02:25] assassinated. It touched me profoundly.

[02:29] When I went to work that night, one of

[02:31] the doctors in the building where I work

[02:33] came in. She's an emergency room doctor.

[02:36] And I said to her, you know, it's a

[02:37] shame you weren't there to help save

[02:39] Charlie. And you know, she was talking

[02:42] about the exit wound and how terrible it

[02:43] was and he couldn't be saved. But she

[02:46] said, and she looked directly at me. She

[02:48] goes, "But he was a hateful person. He

[02:50] hated blacks. He hated Jews. He hated

[02:53] gays." I said, "Excuse me?" I said, "I

[02:56] don't mean to speak out of place.

[02:57] Charlie Kirk was a man of God before he

[03:00] was anything else, a historian, an

[03:01] economist, everything else that that he

[03:03] achieved. He was a man of God. He never

[03:05] spoke any hateful language ever. I watch

[03:08] him every single day. And and I said,

[03:11] "Have you ever heard him say any of

[03:13] these things that you're claiming?" And

[03:15] she goes, "Well, I never heard him speak

[03:16] before." I said, "Well, then how are you

[03:19] saying this?" And she said, "Well, I

[03:21] read it in the New York Times."

[03:24] >> And I just thought to myself, I couldn't

[03:26] open my mouth, but I said, "How educated

[03:29] and how ignorant at the same time." It's

[03:32] just profound. Um, like I said, Charlie

[03:36] Kirk was a man of God. His message is

[03:38] going to go on forever. We're not going

[03:40] to let this die. And today I am Charlie

[03:44] Kirk.

[03:46] >> Thank you.

[03:49] >> Hello.

[03:50] >> Wow. Thank you. It's so amazing to see

[03:52] all of you out here. Wow. I I just

[03:56] actually returned from the Holy Land and

[03:58] um I was there when I found out that my

[04:02] friend and mentor Charlie Kirk um had

[04:05] been brutally murdered

[04:08] publicly in front of the world. And

[04:12] I don't want to ramble, so I'm just

[04:13] going to go in because I of course have

[04:15] so many words for this incredible man.

[04:20] Today, the great Charlie Kirk is going

[04:23] to be laid to rest.

[04:25] Charlie was a conservative icon, a civil

[04:28] rights leader, and an inspiration to

[04:31] millions of young people just like me.

[04:34] Not even across the country, but across

[04:36] the world. But most importantly,

[04:40] he was a devoted husband and a present

[04:43] father.

[04:45] I first met Charlie in 2021 as a shy

[04:48] 19-year-old girl who just wanted to make

[04:51] a difference in this world. Charlie

[04:53] encouraged me from the very beginning.

[04:56] He asked me if I wanted to work in

[04:58] conservative media after seeing me react

[05:01] to them putting up a George Floyd

[05:03] statue.

[05:06] I excitedly said yes, of course.

[05:10] But the truth is, I would be honestly

[05:12] nowhere without Charlie. Right before I

[05:15] attended my first Turning Point USA

[05:17] event at the end of 2020, I was a

[05:20] completely lost 19-year-old girl on

[05:24] break from my liberal musical theater

[05:25] school right here in New York City.

[05:29] As you guys know, at that time, you

[05:31] know, New York City was unrecognizable.

[05:32] It was shut down. There was not, you

[05:35] know, outings and things and of course,

[05:37] not theater. And at that time, I had no

[05:40] friends. I had no outlet. And I felt

[05:44] like I had no purpose.

[05:46] Attending that student action summit in

[05:48] 2020 changed all of that. I was

[05:51] connected with hundreds of Jenzers who

[05:54] had the same experiences as I did, being

[05:57] a conservative believer in Christ among

[06:00] the toxic SJWs and left-wing activists.

[06:04] Before attending Turning Point USA

[06:07] events and hearing the words of Charlie

[06:10] Kirk, I didn't think that marriage and

[06:13] children was something that was even

[06:15] attainable for me.

[06:17] I nearly believed the lie that marriage,

[06:20] embracing femininity, and living for

[06:23] something more than myself meant that

[06:25] you were a victim of the patriarchy.

[06:29] Because of Charlie, I am now happily

[06:31] married to a devoted Catholic man who

[06:34] loves me so well. And I cannot wait to

[06:38] continue Charlie's legacy by continuing

[06:41] to not only speak out for what I believe

[06:43] in, but most importantly one day

[06:46] starting a family and worshiping our one

[06:50] true God.

[06:51] >> Amen. Just last month, I was speaking

[06:54] with Charlie at a retreat about how we

[06:57] can save the West. He asked me about my

[07:00] thoughts on the future of New York City.

[07:03] Was Mom Donnie going to really win and

[07:05] take over? Well, we shall see, right?

[07:09] >> Yes. Yes.

[07:10] >> God.

[07:12] >> God, no. Unlike many, he truly cared

[07:16] about people. He didn't only just look

[07:19] at you, he looked into you.

[07:22] He always encouraged me to keep going in

[07:25] my activism.

[07:27] On September 10th, Charlie was martyed.

[07:31] He didn't just die like Google says. He

[07:34] was brutally killed.

[07:38] Well, what was his crime?

[07:41] Fighting for America.

[07:43] Fighting for free speech. His weapon was

[07:47] not with a gun, a knife, or a grenade in

[07:50] his hand, but a microphone.

[07:53] In his last moments, he was still trying

[07:56] to move humanity forward.

[07:59] All he wanted was to create

[08:01] conversation,

[08:03] and he loved what he did.

[08:07] He inspired me to start my YouTube

[08:09] channel where I go out into the streets

[08:11] and speak to people who disagree with

[08:13] me. Majority of the time I am met with

[08:16] hostility, violence, and nothing but

[08:18] hate. I have been bloodied and needed

[08:21] stitches and needed to go to the

[08:22] hospital because of the violence of the

[08:24] left.

[08:28] >> Although my heart does not want to

[08:30] believe that the evil one is capable of

[08:32] such a tragedy as this, I am deeply

[08:34] pained to say that I am not surprised by

[08:36] this act of violence.

[08:39] God tells us in the book of Timothy,

[08:41] "Indeed, all who desire to live a godly

[08:44] life in Jesus Christ will be

[08:47] persecuted."

[08:50] Today we pray for Charlie, as we know in

[08:52] his wife words, is wearing the glorious

[08:55] crown of a martyr standing next to his

[08:58] Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

[09:02] We pray for his precious babies and

[09:04] beloved wife. Beloved wife.

[09:08] Seeing them together was like seeing a

[09:10] king with his queen.

[09:14] Erica is a perfect representation of

[09:17] what a woman should be. She reminds me a

[09:20] lot of Mary.

[09:23] So in love with God and so in love with

[09:27] her husband. America

[09:30] has is heartbroken. We are angry.

[09:34] But unlike the evildoers, we didn't

[09:37] respond with riots, looting,

[09:41] murdering, hate.

[09:44] We responded with prayer, fighting for

[09:47] the gospel, the truth, and with hundreds

[09:51] of vigils across the country just like

[09:53] this one.

[09:56] Charlie said he wanted to be remembered

[09:58] for one thing when he died.

[10:01] He said I wanted to be remembered for

[10:02] the courage for my faith.

[10:06] And that, my brothers and sisters, is

[10:09] what we should all die wanting.

[10:12] [Music]

[10:13] We cannot reason with people who want us

[10:16] dead,

[10:18] but we can pray for their souls.

[10:22] We can forgive the inexcusable in others

[10:25] because God has forgiven the inexcusable

[10:28] within us.

[10:30] Thank you.

[10:31] >> Thank you.

[10:32] >> Beautiful.

[10:34] >> One thing that's not mentioned about us

[10:37] on the right is I'm very proud of us. Um

[10:42] we're

[10:44] told to be the party of hate, but yet

[10:47] not one building was burned,

[10:49] >> right? Not one place was looted.

[10:52] >> In fact, we hold vigils and we pray and

[10:57] we come together and this is how we get

[11:00] stronger

[11:02] uh to be different than they are and

[11:05] show love and um I'll leave it on this.

[11:10] Christianity

[11:12] started with the killing of an innocent

[11:15] man. Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk. And

[11:17] how did Charlie personally impact you?

[11:20] >> Charlie personally impacted me very very

[11:23] spiritually in a way like first of all

[11:27] he could have been my son because I have

[11:30] a a 31-year-old son. Secondly, just his

[11:34] his

[11:36] way of presenting things and his way of

[11:39] not losing it and being very patient and

[11:43] answering when people were trying to uh

[11:46] debate him. And he just like for me has

[11:50] really made a difference in my life

[11:53] spiritually and also being able to speak

[11:56] my mind in a positive way and not just

[11:59] fly off the handle because speaking with

[12:02] words is better than speaking with

[12:04] anger. I just want to say um I just want

[12:06] to I hope this isn't an unpopular

[12:09] opinion, but um as Christians, you know,

[12:12] Jesus tells us to pray for our enemies.

[12:14] And today um Erica in something that I

[12:19] don't know if I would ever be able to do

[12:21] or most of us, she actually forgave the

[12:24] person who tragically and brutally and

[12:27] unfairly took this man's life. So I just

[12:30] want to encourage us all to pray for

[12:32] these. I know we call them lunatics,

[12:34] which is because they are these

[12:36] liberals. Maybe through our prayer,

[12:40] >> pray for them to to not be led astray by

[12:42] the enemy and for Jesus and the blessed

[12:45] mother Mary to save them and hopefully

[12:48] to open up their eyes. Thank you.

[12:50] >> Amen.

[12:55] Um, I really do not know very much about

[12:58] what Charlie Kirk had to say

[13:00] specifically, but I I was made aware

[13:02] that he was a Christian who spoke truth

[13:06] >> and uh, you know, a democratic society.

[13:10] Um, the theme, I guess, is that we're

[13:12] supposed to be able to speak our minds

[13:16] uh, in a healthy in a healthy debate,

[13:19] not be harassed andor murdered for doing

[13:21] so. that that that goes against what the

[13:25] the founding of the democratic key word

[13:27] democratic republic was based on. Am I

[13:30] right about that? Yeah, I think so.

[13:31] >> Hi, uh my name is Danielle and Charlie

[13:34] Kirk inspired me to go back to church

[13:38] after many years of being away from

[13:39] church. Um and I'm so grateful for him

[13:43] and his words and for bringing people

[13:45] together, especially the young people

[13:47] today. They need guidance and they need

[13:50] God in their lives. Thank you, Charlie.

[13:52] God bless you. And to Erica, keep it

[13:56] going and we all are behind you. God

[13:58] bless you and your family.

[13:59] >> Hi everybody. My name is Eduardo. Here's

[14:03] my thoughts about Charlie Kirk. Charlie

[14:06] Kirk originated from a humbling family.

[14:10] He was a man of faith

[14:13] who exalted

[14:15] the name of Jesus Christ.

[14:18] This man was not a racist.

[14:22] >> Whoever makes that claim,

[14:24] >> claiming Charlie Kirk was a racist

[14:28] >> most likely have never watched any of

[14:29] his videos or have gotten that claim

[14:33] directly from somebody else that

[14:37] disagrees with him.

[14:40] Charlie Kirk advocated

[14:42] for freedom of speech. Whether it's hate

[14:45] speech, whether it's speech that we

[14:47] don't agree with, he advocated for

[14:50] freedom of speech, whether people like

[14:52] it or not.

[14:55] The fact

[14:57] that Charlie Kirk was assassinated on

[15:00] September 10, 2025 at the Utah Valley

[15:04] University

[15:06] >> really, really enraged me.

[15:10] I didn't want him to die and I hope he

[15:13] didn't die until I found out he was

[15:15] pronounced dead.

[15:18] >> Now, the death of Charlie Kirk and

[15:21] following in the wake of his

[15:23] assassination has really exposed

[15:27] the people on the far left.

[15:31] And all these people are so extremely

[15:34] intolerant,

[15:36] >> not as tolerant and loving as these

[15:38] people think they are. The these are the

[15:40] same people that want to censor us and

[15:44] they have the audacity

[15:47] to call us fascist.

[15:49] Yet none of those people can even define

[15:51] what fascism even means.

[15:54] They're the real fascist. We are not.

[15:58] We are freedom fighters. I am Charlie

[16:02] Kirk.

[16:06] >> How did Charlie personally impact you?

[16:08] >> Uh, well, Charlie is the head of Turning

[16:10] Point USA. And Turning Point USA just

[16:13] acquired Blexit, an organization that

[16:15] you're very familiar with. I'm familiar

[16:18] with I am the assistant state director

[16:20] of the New York chapter for Blexit. And

[16:23] um Charlie has made an impact not just

[16:26] through Blexit but just you know his

[16:28] videos, his media um his podcast, you

[16:31] know just the way he engaged students on

[16:36] the campuses and had debates and

[16:38] reasoned with them and you know through

[16:40] his media just like you know through his

[16:42] interviews you know being on the ground

[16:44] you know being a you know course for u

[16:47] making America great again getting on

[16:48] the ground game you know ballot chasing

[16:51] ballot harvesting you know in

[16:52] Pennsylvania in Arizona which you know

[16:55] helped uh you know the president get uh

[16:57] elected. So you know he has made a

[16:59] tremendous impact you know even though

[17:01] I've never met the man you know

[17:02] personally he has made tremendous impact

[17:04] uh uh right now to this day.

[17:07] >> But I thought Charlie was racist.

[17:10] >> I I don't know who he's talking to. You

[17:12] know I I I I haven't heard anything that

[17:15] was racist from him. Uh, I think like

[17:17] people people unfortunately don't think

[17:19] for themselves and they should go to

[17:20] like the primary sources and judge for

[17:22] themselves whether he's racist or not.

[17:24] But Charlie is not a racist man. He is

[17:27] uh a very he's a Christian man and you

[17:30] know not to say that Christians can't be

[17:31] racist but he is a biblical Christian

[17:34] and he was not a racist man. He wanted

[17:37] freedom for all colors.

[17:39] >> Absolutely. So Charlie, like the one way

[17:41] I could tell without even knowing him

[17:43] that was like a great dude, is when

[17:46] South Park came out with his episode,

[17:49] instead of going crazy, which everybody

[17:50] thought he was going to do, he actually

[17:52] made it his profile pitch. And uh that

[17:55] just tells you everything you know need

[17:56] to know about Charlie in one sentence.

[17:58] So God bless Charlie. And uh if you knew

[18:01] him, which I didn't, you are a lucky

[18:03] person. So God bless. Thank you. Charlie

[18:07] Percy impacted me um when Turning Point

[18:10] merged with Blexit and I was the uh

[18:12] assistant state director of Blexit New

[18:14] York and how Turning Point and its um

[18:18] resources and fiscal sponsors have

[18:20] helped Blexit expanded its brand into

[18:23] over 15 H.B.CU campuses. So over 15

[18:27] historically black colleges and

[18:28] universities have clubs now based on

[18:30] Blex and Turning Point USA, TPUSA. So, a

[18:34] lot of students are being affected by

[18:37] this uh recent passing, which is

[18:38] unfortunate,

[18:39] >> but I thought he was racist.

[18:42] >> Well, that's the thing. Um, just like

[18:44] Candace Owens and Brandon Tatum and some

[18:46] other influencers, sometimes it's not

[18:49] what you say it, but how you say it. And

[18:51] most importantly, how the liberal

[18:53] progressive legacy media chops it up and

[18:56] runs with it and plays it on loop in the

[18:58] eyeballs of everybody with a cellular

[18:59] device. So he's not a racist because he

[19:03] has too many black friends now that he's

[19:05] touched personally that's coming and

[19:06] speak on his behalf and a lot of

[19:08] frenemies and enemies alike like Van

[19:10] Jones of late who didn't really care for

[19:13] Charlie Kirk but had to come forward and

[19:15] let the truth be told with the DM that

[19:17] Charlie Kirk sent him asking him to have

[19:19] a continuing dialogue about what was

[19:21] going on in his uh statements. First of

[19:24] all, my name is Grace Morero and I am

[19:27] the candidate for Bronxboro president

[19:29] running against Vanessa Gibson. And

[19:31] although we had a a a memorial at

[19:34] Orchard Beach today, I purposely made

[19:36] that not political cuz I did not because

[19:39] basically it's not political. It should

[19:41] not be a political issue. Uh the death

[19:43] of Charlie Kirk, the man was he was

[19:46] brilliant as Stephanie said. He just had

[19:49] that he just had that persona that

[19:53] people just were gravitated to him even

[19:56] on YouTube whatever even though I didn't

[19:58] meet him in person and I was hoping to

[19:59] at one some point that's not going to

[20:02] happen. Uh,

[20:04] >> but he just exuded the confidence and

[20:08] the faith, the faith, the godliness that

[20:12] we as Christians should have. And he

[20:15] embodied all of that. And he really said

[20:18] so many things that

[20:22] >> that grabbed people that made people

[20:25] think. So, I'm grateful that Charlie

[20:27] Kirk has was on this earth. I'm sad that

[20:30] he's not here anymore. However, um we

[20:34] have to

[20:34] >> his his legacy is going to move on.

[20:37] We're gonna we got to keep the fires

[20:39] burning. We cannot let this moment pass.

[20:42] Like I said on my live stream, I say to

[20:44] people, you have to keep this moment a

[20:47] week from now, two weeks, a month from

[20:50] now, when you get back into your routine

[20:52] and you don't forget. You cannot forget.

[20:55] You have to keep it going. Well, for me,

[20:57] the one thing I've learned for Charlie

[20:59] Clark is um

[21:01] >> never be afraid to stand out and for

[21:02] what you believe in because those that

[21:04] hate you would hate you regardless.

[21:05] Whether you speak out or whether you

[21:07] don't, they will hate you. And those

[21:08] that love you, they will love you

[21:10] regardless. Those that want to work with

[21:11] you will work with you regardless. So,

[21:14] stand out. Speak for what you speak in

[21:16] what what you believe in. And uh stand

[21:18] in your faith.

[21:19] >> Never be afraid to stand in your faith.

[21:22] >> I thought Charlie was racist. How are

[21:24] you black and supporting him? Well,

[21:26] here's the thing. If a racist person is

[21:28] inviting me to the table to hear what I

[21:29] have to say, I want to sit with that

[21:31] person because that person telling me

[21:33] they have um the willingness to change,

[21:35] a willingness to hear out what I have to

[21:37] say and um my facts that I bring to the

[21:40] table or the real facts that I bring to

[21:41] the table and present them. If I bring

[21:43] my um my argument correctly and I

[21:45] display my argument before them, they're

[21:47] willing to listen. And anybody like that

[21:49] I can work with. Now, here's a very

[21:51] evangelical

[21:53] theme is that um some people don't want

[21:56] to hear this either. So, here I am speak

[21:59] about to say something that I think that

[22:00] a lot of people don't want to hear. But

[22:03] um things are not going to get better.

[22:07] They're going to get worse before the

[22:09] part of the chapter of Revelation called

[22:12] the the 7-year tribulation.

[22:15] But what happens after that 7-year

[22:17] tribulation? the second coming of Jesus.

[22:20] So ultimately, God wins.

[22:23] >> This was an incredible vigil out here in

[22:26] the Bronx. Cannot believe the amount of

[22:28] people who have come out in Manhattan

[22:30] and now in the Bronx. And Charlie Kirk

[22:32] touched people all over the country, all

[22:34] over the world. And it is now our duty

[22:37] to pick up that microphone and continue

[22:40] his legacy. And I thank you all so much

[22:42] for your support. Without Charlie and

[22:44] without you guys, I would be absolutely

[22:46] nowhere. Like I said in my speech, I

[22:49] just appreciate you all so much. God

[22:51] bless you and we'll see you in the next

[22:54] video. We are Charlie Kirk. I am Charlie

[22:58] Kirk. # everything for Charlie Kirk. #

[23:02] Longive King Charlie Kirk. Thank you.
