Charlie Kirk Memorial In Hyde Park: A Turning Point for the West

[00:00] We gather here today in Hyde Park near

[00:03] Speaker's Corner, the home of free

[00:06] speech to join millions of patriots

[00:08] across the world in remembering our

[00:10] founder Charlie Kirk.

[00:14] [Applause]

[00:22] Charlie Kirk is a modern-day martyr who

[00:25] was murdered for wanting to give people

[00:27] the freedom to speak their mind and the

[00:30] opportunity to have a better life.

[00:33] Get married, have children, build a

[00:36] legacy, pass down your values, pursue

[00:40] the eternal, seek true joy. This was

[00:44] Charlie's mantra and it is the political

[00:47] recipe that will save the West. Charlie

[00:50] may have been taken from us, but his

[00:52] ideas live on through us all.

[00:58] >> Charlie was a true missionary. He went

[01:01] into hostile territory and preached

[01:03] love, family values, and hope to people

[01:06] who had been written off by wider

[01:08] society. Charlie did not shy away from

[01:11] debate or discussing controversial

[01:13] issues, not because he wanted to offend

[01:15] people, but because he was horrified

[01:18] that people are failing to reach their

[01:19] full potential because they had been

[01:21] lied to. Charlie refused to allow people

[01:24] to be told that they weren't good enough

[01:27] because of the color of the skin or

[01:29] their gender. That shows the ch type of

[01:32] man Charlie was. He was honest, kind,

[01:35] and genuinely believed it was his duty

[01:37] to educate others so they could better

[01:39] themselves.

[01:47] [Applause]

[01:51] Charlie proved that the age of scholars

[01:53] and thinkers is not over and he led the

[01:56] charge in popularizing debate and

[01:58] academic discussion at our universities.

[02:01] Charlie single-handedly transformed many

[02:04] universities from left-wing brainwashing

[02:06] factories into places where ideas

[02:09] flourished. That's what Charlie will be

[02:11] remembered as. Someone who stood up

[02:13] against censorship and tyranny and won.

[02:25] When the terrorist, and I do say

[02:27] terrorist, assassinated Charlie, his

[02:30] intention was to stamp out Charlie's

[02:32] voice and undo his vital work. However,

[02:36] what this far-left extremist did not

[02:38] count on is how many people Charlie had

[02:40] inspired across the world through his

[02:42] peaceful dialogue. When Charlie was

[02:45] murdered, it created 1 million Charlie

[02:48] Kirks across the world. and we have all

[02:50] picked up his microphone and will

[02:52] continue to spread his message.

[02:54] [Applause]

[03:01] >> Not be intimidated by far-left thugs. We

[03:04] will not be deterred by biased media

[03:06] headlines. And we will not be silenced

[03:08] by bullets. We will save the West from

[03:11] the evil of far-left terror for our

[03:13] families, for our communities, and for

[03:16] Charlie.

[03:17] [Applause]

[03:25] Now to finish, I want everyone to say

[03:27] with me, we are Charlie.

[03:30] >> We are Charlie.

[03:33] >> We are Charlie. We are Charlieie. We are

[03:38] Charlie. We are Charlieie. We are

[03:46] >> Thank you everyone. My name is Jack Ross

[03:48] and I'm the CEO of Turning Point UK. I

[03:51] have the pleasure of bringing to the

[03:52] stage Pastor Andrew Cassumba who's come

[03:55] all all the way down from Birmingham.

[03:56] Let's hear it for Andrew everyone.

[03:58] [Applause]

[04:01] >> Good afternoon everybody. Can you hear

[04:03] me clearly?

[04:05] >> I just want to thank you all for

[04:06] traveling from wherever you've traveled

[04:09] from. Thank you Jack and everybody for

[04:11] inviting me to this special occasion.

[04:14] And it's a great honor to be able to

[04:16] stand here and lead us in what is going

[04:19] to be a sacred moment where we remember

[04:23] not only a great life well-lived but we

[04:26] also point to the most important thing

[04:29] in Charlie's life and that was his

[04:32] faith.

[04:33] >> And I'm not expecting any trouble here

[04:35] today. And I'm going to ask you whether

[04:38] you are a person of faith or religious

[04:40] or in any way inclined that way just in

[04:43] these moments to have an open heart

[04:45] because Charlie didn't preach religion

[04:48] even though he might have been labeled

[04:50] as such. He talked about Jesus Christ.

[04:54] >> A very real

[04:56] >> person not only in history but Jesus is

[04:58] alive.

[04:59] >> He's alive today. And the Bible says

[05:01] where two or three are gathered in his

[05:03] name

[05:04] >> he is there with them. So, in this

[05:06] gathering here, the Lord Jesus is with

[05:09] us. And before we go any further, I want

[05:12] us to just take a moment to bow our

[05:14] heads, close our eyes, and we're going

[05:16] to commit the rest of this gathering to

[05:20] the Lord Jesus and ask him not only to

[05:22] comfort us, but to speak to us and to

[05:25] transform us. So, will you do that with

[05:28] me?

[05:29] >> And at the end of the prayer, if you

[05:31] agree, say, "Amen." It just means let it

[05:33] be. Let's pray together.

[05:37] Heavenly Father,

[05:40] we come before you in the name of Jesus.

[05:44] We thank you for the life of Charlie

[05:46] Kirk

[05:48] for all he stood for.

[05:51] Most importantly,

[05:53] the truth that he found in you. We pray

[05:57] Lord that as we remember him today, as

[06:00] we reflect on what he learned from you,

[06:04] that you will transform our hearts,

[06:07] you'll transform our communities,

[06:11] transform our nations, and you will

[06:12] transform this world with the

[06:15] everlasting love that you displayed when

[06:18] you died on the cross 2,25 years ago.

[06:22] and you rose again to bring us hope and

[06:25] eternal life. I pray that in these

[06:28] moments we will be united with you and

[06:32] we will be encouraged that it's not over

[06:34] yet when we know you as Lord and Savior.

[06:38] So we thank you for his wife. We pray

[06:41] that you will be with her and the

[06:43] children, his immediate family, his

[06:46] extended family, all those who work for

[06:49] Turning Point around the world. As many

[06:52] hearts are grieving today and

[06:54] remembering Charlie, we pray that hope

[06:56] will arise because Jesus is alive.

[07:00] >> And all God's people said,

[07:02] >> "Amen."

[07:04] >> Amen.

[07:05] >> Amen.

[07:06] >> I just want to take a couple of moments

[07:08] to talk about who Jesus is.

[07:10] And uh I never met Charlie. I'm a man

[07:14] from Africa. And that's what may connect

[07:17] Charlie and myself because 2025 years

[07:21] ago, a family took refuge in an African

[07:26] country called Egypt. They were under

[07:29] threat

[07:30] and they wanted to protect their baby

[07:33] boy. He was no ordinary child. He be the

[07:38] person we know as Jesus Christ.

[07:42] And that's the connection that Charlie

[07:44] and I have because both of us found

[07:46] faith in Jesus.

[07:49] From a young age, I've been quite

[07:52] riddled with death in my family,

[07:55] losing my father age, and then all my

[07:58] brothers, my sister, my mom. So I stand

[08:02] here with my immediate family all gone

[08:04] on to be with the Lord. And I kind of

[08:07] like to picture that they're with

[08:08] Charlie now talking to him, celebrating

[08:12] with him.

[08:14] And so I don't bring you religion. I'm

[08:16] not trying to convert you to anything

[08:18] that doesn't work. And Charlie wouldn't

[08:19] want that. But I saw a video of his that

[08:23] he posted where somebody asked him, "If

[08:25] you had 30 seconds

[08:28] to tell me something important before I

[08:30] die, what would it be?"

[08:33] And Charlie straight away said, "Eternal

[08:36] judgment."

[08:38] You're going to be facing eternal

[08:40] judgment in 30 seconds. And the only

[08:42] thing that will save you is not good

[08:44] works. It's not mantra. It's not how

[08:47] well you did, but it's the answer to the

[08:50] question, who is Jesus Christ?

[08:54] Who is Jesus Christ? And uh I've got

[08:57] some flyers here that I've prepared for

[09:00] you and some John's gospels and people

[09:03] are giving them around. And on the

[09:05] flyer, it tells you about who Jesus is.

[09:09] 2025 years ago, our global calendar was

[09:13] changed because of the birth, life,

[09:16] death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

[09:20] He didn't come to bring another religion

[09:23] or set of rules, but he says like the

[09:25] banner says there, I have come to give

[09:29] you the truth, to tell you the truth. I

[09:32] am the truth and that truth will set you

[09:36] free.

[09:38] That's the truth that Charlie wanted

[09:41] everybody to know about.

[09:44] >> The truth that sets you free.

[09:47] >> It's not bound in a political ideology.

[09:50] It's not bound in education. It's not

[09:52] bound in status. But it is found in the

[09:56] person of Jesus Christ.

[09:58] >> Amen.

[09:59] >> And Jesus is here today. and he would

[10:03] want you to know him the way Charlie

[10:05] did. You know what's comforting about

[10:08] what happened to Charlie in such a

[10:10] tragic way is that from my understanding

[10:13] it appears that he went straight to

[10:15] glory with no pain. And the Bible says,

[10:19] when you know Christ as your savior,

[10:22] when you've asked him to forgive all

[10:24] your wrongs, all your sins, you've

[10:27] received him into your life,

[10:31] then death is not the end.

[10:34] >> And we may think that Charlie is dead,

[10:36] but let me tell you now, he is more

[10:38] alive now than ever he was before. And

[10:41] this is the proof of it

[10:44] that the spirit that he had and the

[10:47] courage he had lives on and will live

[10:50] on. And today as I look at the flags

[10:53] flying, I don't know if you know, but

[10:56] those flags, the Union Jack especially,

[10:58] is made up of three crosses.

[11:00] >> Yeah.

[11:00] >> You've got St. George's cross, you've

[11:03] got St. Andrew's cross, you've got St.

[11:07] Patrick's cross. They all point to the

[11:10] cross of Jesus Christ.

[11:12] >> Amen.

[11:12] >> Where the Romans put him to death

[11:15] because of these claims that he made

[11:17] when he said, "I am the way, the truth,

[11:19] and the life." And he said essentially

[11:22] that he was God in the flesh and that if

[11:24] we followed him, we would know the path

[11:27] to life.

[11:29] He was innocent and he shed his blood

[11:32] not just for you and me, but for the

[11:34] whole world that we might be forgiven.

[11:37] that the justice of God might be done,

[11:40] evil will be done away with, and hope

[11:43] and eternity would arise.

[11:46] >> And I'm going to tell you a story just

[11:48] before I end about a young man called

[11:49] George in Wales,

[11:52] 30 years old, disillusioned with life,

[11:55] hooked on drugs, looking in all the

[11:58] wrong places,

[12:00] and he started to follow Charlie Kirk.

[12:05] He was so disturbed by what happened

[12:08] last week that he reached out to the

[12:11] pastor of his parents and said, "What

[12:13] must I do?" And the long and short of it

[12:16] is he has given his heart to Jesus. And

[12:19] if he was here, he would stand proudly

[12:21] and say, "I'm a follower of Christ." And

[12:24] in that, we can see that what Charlie

[12:27] stood for continues to live on. And all

[12:31] over the world there's so many reports

[12:33] of people coming to know Jesus. So let

[12:36] me leave you with this question.

[12:38] What are you going to do with Jesus

[12:41] Christ? Who is Jesus Christ to you?

[12:45] Well, let me tell you. He's not just a

[12:47] good teacher, a good example. He is God

[12:51] in the flesh, the son of God who died

[12:53] for you. And he's offering you today an

[12:56] opportunity to know him the way Charlie

[12:58] did, to have the life that Charlie had,

[13:01] the hope. And you can say a simple

[13:04] prayer with me. In fact, the book of

[13:07] Romans makes it simple. It says, if you

[13:09] confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord.

[13:13] Say that with me. Jesus is Lord, and

[13:17] believe in your heart that God raised

[13:19] him from the dead, you will be saved.

[13:22] saved from a lost eternity and saved

[13:25] into God's kingdom just the way Charlie

[13:28] was.

[13:28] >> Amen.

[13:29] >> So, I'm going to give you this

[13:30] opportunity now. And like I said, these

[13:34] are being given out all over here. So,

[13:36] if you want one, you can pop your hand

[13:38] up and somebody will pass you one. It

[13:40] tells you who Jesus is. There's a John's

[13:43] Gospel which has the story of Jesus. And

[13:47] you can leave this place with hope in

[13:49] your heart that it's not over yet. So,

[13:52] are you ready to receive the Lord Jesus?

[13:55] >> I believe if Charlie was here, he would

[13:57] want you to have this opportunity. So,

[14:00] in this moment, once more, just bow your

[14:03] heads with me if you will. We're going

[14:06] to say a prayer together. It's a prayer

[14:08] of faith. Don't say it to me. Don't even

[14:12] say it to Charlie. Say it to the Lord

[14:14] Jesus Christ who is alive and he's the

[14:17] one who saves.

[14:19] Don't worry if you don't understand it

[14:21] all. What you're doing is you're

[14:23] becoming a part of God's family and you

[14:26] are entering from darkness into light

[14:30] just like Charlie did. So, are you

[14:32] ready?

[14:34] >> Everywhere, everybody, let's say this

[14:36] prayer together. Dear Lord Jesus,

[14:39] >> Dear Lord Jesus,

[14:40] >> I understand you died on the cross for

[14:43] my sins.

[14:46] You shed your pure innocent blood for

[14:49] me.

[14:49] >> You shed your pure innocent blood for

[14:51] me.

[14:52] >> You took my guilt and my punishment.

[14:56] >> Please forgive me.

[14:57] >> Please forgive me.

[14:58] >> For living my own way.

[15:01] >> I now believe you rose again.

[15:03] >> I now believe you rose again.

[15:04] >> To bring me true hope and eternal life.

[15:07] >> to bring me true hope and eternal life.

[15:09] >> I accept you as my Lord and Savior. I

[15:14] >> just like Charlie did.

[15:15] >> Just like

[15:16] >> from this day forward.

[15:18] >> From this day forward.

[15:19] >> Father, fill me with your Holy Spirit.

[15:21] >> Father, fill me with your

[15:23] >> so I can live for you.

[15:24] >> So I can live for you.

[15:26] >> Amen.

[15:27] >> Amen.

[15:27] >> Now, if you said that prayer and you

[15:30] meant it with all your heart, the

[15:32] greatest miracle of all has happened

[15:34] today

[15:35] >> and you have gone from one kingdom into

[15:38] another. It's a spiritual thing,

[15:40] >> but it's going to change your life. Did

[15:43] you say that prayer today?

[15:45] >> Yes.

[15:46] >> Did you? Who said that prayer? I want to

[15:48] know. Fantastic.

[15:49] >> So, before you leave, grab one of these

[15:52] flyers. It'll tell you what it means to

[15:54] be a Christian. You are now part of

[15:56] God's family. And guess what the good

[15:58] news is? When we pass from this life to

[16:01] the next, we will be reunited with all

[16:04] our loved ones. We will see Charlie

[16:07] again. We will see all those who've gone

[16:09] on before. But in the meantime, find

[16:12] yourself a good church, get yourself a

[16:14] Bible, and continue to live with

[16:16] courage. That will be the legacy that

[16:19] Charlie Kirk left if you take on the

[16:23] faith of Jesus.

[16:25] >> May the Lord bless you all

[16:29] and continue to lead you as you pray to

[16:33] him.

[16:35] I'm just going to hand over

[16:37] It's alive forever.

[16:40] >> The Charlie is not dead.

[16:43] >> He's alive forever.

[16:45] >> Well, Charlie is not dead. He is in

[16:48] Jesus's presence. That is true. He is

[16:51] with the Lord. Now, I want to just hand

[16:54] over to a couple more people who are

[16:56] going to share some thoughts with you.

[16:57] We've got Nick, we've got Young Bob,

[16:59] we've got Hannah. So, I I want you to

[17:02] give them the same. Up next, we have

[17:04] another fantastic speaker, Nick Tenone,

[17:08] our COO. He's someone who stood with us

[17:10] when we were at rock bottom at Turning

[17:12] Point and helped turn us into the

[17:13] thriving organization that we are today.

[17:15] Let's hear from Nick Tenone, everyone.

[17:22] >> Blessed be the Holy and Undivided

[17:24] Trinity now and forever more. In the

[17:26] name of the Father and of the Son and of

[17:28] the Holy Spirit. Amen.

[17:30] Patriots, let us first address some

[17:32] grave matter. Be under no illusion. Not

[17:35] only are we fighting for the soul of

[17:37] this nation, but we are in the fight of

[17:39] our lives. Let's look at recent events.

[17:43] We all know we are here because of the

[17:45] horrific assassination of Charlie Kerr,

[17:48] God rest his soul, by a radical far-left

[17:50] extremist. Yet, this is not an isolated

[17:53] incident. A Labour counselor called for

[17:56] conservative throats to be slit and got

[17:58] away with it. A radical left-wing Tik

[18:01] Tocker with over 200,000 followers

[18:04] called for people to kill them all

[18:06] following Charlie's murder and got away

[18:09] with it. A far-left musician slandered

[18:12] Charlie and said, "Chat and you

[18:14] will get banged and got away with it." A

[18:17] pro-IRRA pop group has endlessly pledged

[18:20] support to terror organizations and got

[18:23] away with it. Recently in Minneapolis, a

[18:27] transnutcase murdered two children in a

[18:30] Catholic church. The male posted videos

[18:34] online detailing his armory and

[18:37] inscriptions he had written on magazines

[18:40] and bullets. such writing as suck on

[18:44] this and where is your god and for the

[18:47] children. Arena zodska was murdered for

[18:51] being white and a hideous individual

[18:53] called professor Alice Roberts has

[18:57] published an article the rise of

[18:59] Christian nationalism and I quote is a

[19:02] danger to us all. Both freedom of speech

[19:07] and freedom of consequence exists for

[19:10] the communists and the Islamists. But

[19:13] freedom of speech and freedom of

[19:15] consequence does not exist for

[19:18] conservative Christians.

[19:21] Charlie stood for the one true faith and

[19:24] for freedom of speech and this ladies

[19:27] and gentlemen is how we will remember

[19:29] him.

[19:31] Freedom of speech is one of the pillars

[19:34] of freedom. But which way now, western

[19:38] man? We are absolutely deluding

[19:40] ourselves if we think we have freedom of

[19:43] speech in the UK. Our laws, our

[19:46] intelligence services, government and

[19:49] police all stand with and for the rights

[19:53] of the unholy alliance. Patriots, there

[19:56] is nothing left other than to face the

[19:59] cross. There is only one direction for

[20:02] us now. I say we honor Charlie as we do

[20:06] all the Christian martyrs by continuing

[20:09] our struggle for freedom.

[20:20] As Charlie said, the greatest threat to

[20:23] freedom is when people are too afraid to

[20:26] speak their minds. In fact, Charlie said

[20:29] he had two favorite quotes. The first is

[20:33] this too shall pass. The second is

[20:37] biblical. Romans 8:28, God works all

[20:42] things for good for those who love him.

[20:46] I, like Charlie, have two things to say.

[20:50] The first is to remember that suffering

[20:53] is grace. The second is inspired by

[20:56] Revelation 12:7, the prayer to St.

[21:00] Michael the Archangel.

[21:02] St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in

[21:05] battle. Be our safeguard against the

[21:08] wickedness and snares of the devil. May

[21:11] God rebuke him, we humbly pray and do

[21:14] vow, oh prince of the heavenly host. By

[21:17] the power of God, thrust into hell Satan

[21:21] and all evil spirits who wander through

[21:24] the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

[21:28] >> Amen.

[21:30] >> Patriots, our love is not our weakness.

[21:34] It is our strength. The left hate. This

[21:38] is why they fail and in so doing inspire

[21:42] thousands because we are commanded to

[21:45] live and move by love. And love, ladies

[21:48] and gentlemen, conquers all.

[21:51] >> Amen.

[21:55] [Applause]

[21:58] >> But that does not mean we are doormats.

[22:01] No, we are commanded to confront

[22:03] injustice. And for that, ladies and

[22:06] gentlemen, you need courage. And the

[22:08] most purest form, the most inspiring

[22:11] form of courage is found nowhere else

[22:14] than within Christianity. in the faith

[22:16] of our Lord and Savior and those

[22:19] Christian martyrs who demonstrated to us

[22:22] for thousands of years that the time of

[22:24] lies and deceit must not go unopposed.

[22:29] Meek and mild is used by cowards so very

[22:33] often to avoid the fight. The time of

[22:36] action, courage and duty is now upon us.

[22:40] And I say to you that the time of the

[22:43] cross now bestows us. The cross is what

[22:47] gave Charlie his strength. It is what

[22:50] gives us our strength and our courage.

[22:53] It is what teaches us the importance of

[22:56] love and protection of those who are

[22:59] vulnerable, those who need protection by

[23:03] knights. And knights, ladies and

[23:05] gentlemen, is what is lacking on our

[23:08] crusade. our crusade to save Britain

[23:12] from tyranny, from corruption, and from

[23:15] certain doom. God, ladies and gentlemen,

[23:18] gives everyone the right to defend

[23:21] themselves. What is missing is action.

[23:24] What is missing is duty. Charlie knew

[23:28] the risks, but he knew his duty. And

[23:31] that, ladies and gentlemen, makes

[23:33] Charlie Kirk a hero and a Christian

[23:35] martyr.

[23:37] [Applause]

[23:45] We will defend our freedoms. We will

[23:48] defend our Lord's church. And we will

[23:52] stand united against the forces of evil.

[23:55] Charlie Kirk's memory lives on forever.

[23:59] >> Amen.

[24:01] >> Nick Tenone, our CHO.

[24:06] Next up, we have um another fantastic

[24:09] speaker. This is the man whose Turning

[24:11] Point UK was actually his dream. He was

[24:14] the one who was given it uh by the

[24:15] Americans. We have Oliver Annisfeld, the

[24:17] founder of Turning Point UK.

[24:21] >> Hello everyone.

[24:23] Today, so far we've heard words of

[24:26] dialogue, words of faith, words of free

[24:30] speech, of peace, patriotism. Gosh, we

[24:33] must all be far-right thugs.

[24:36] didn't expect to turn up to one of those

[24:38] rallies today. So, back in 2018, I think

[24:41] it was late 2018, I met Charlie Kirk at

[24:44] an event where he came to speak in in

[24:45] the UK and we spoke afterwards and met

[24:48] the next day and he asked me and Jack

[24:50] and a few others uh to help bring over

[24:52] Turning Point to the UK. Um, a month or

[24:55] so later, uh, we decided to set up a

[24:57] campus tour and we brought him to a few

[24:59] different campuses across the UK. I

[25:01] decided during one of the breaks we take

[25:03] him to SOASS. I don't know if any of you

[25:05] are familiar with SOASS, one of the most

[25:07] infamous far-left woke campuses. And we

[25:10] took Charlie there and we had a little

[25:12] sign. Uh we put up a sign next to him

[25:14] that said, "Socialism is evil. Prove me

[25:17] wrong." Fair enough. And uh Charlie was

[25:22] arguing to the students who approached

[25:23] him that socialism was a form of theft.

[25:26] Um, fittingly, his sign was stolen by

[25:28] the students within minutes of him

[25:30] getting there and over Charlie saying,

[25:32] "No, no, no. Let let them take it. It's

[25:33] okay. We got it all on camera." You can

[25:35] see that, by the way, on the Turning

[25:36] Point YouTube channel. Um, and then the

[25:39] student union, they created, they put

[25:41] piece of paper together and they created

[25:43] a big sign outside of their window where

[25:44] Charlie was speaking that said, "This

[25:46] man is a fascist." Um, but unfortunately

[25:49] the paper kept falling down every two

[25:51] minutes. They kept to sticking it back

[25:52] up and it was a bit a little bit

[25:53] awkward. Um, but what it became clear to

[25:56] us as Charlie did this speaking tour and

[25:59] then he came back a few times was that

[26:01] he was completely unique. He's

[26:05] irreplaceable was the word that came to

[26:07] my mind when we all the news hit us. The

[26:10] shocking news hit us. He was utterly

[26:11] irreplaceable. He had this ability to

[26:14] connect to people, especially young

[26:16] people. He was so quick on his feet, so

[26:18] agile. Who else is like him that can do

[26:21] this? And I think it's particularly

[26:23] poignant for all of us to note that the

[26:25] first place that Charlie wanted a

[26:27] turning point outside of America was

[26:30] this country, the UK.

[26:34] >> Charlie

[26:35] Charlie loved this country. He loved it.

[26:38] And he said when he was at, I believe it

[26:40] was when he was at the Oxford Union

[26:42] recently, that you do not have America

[26:45] without the UK. that America was based

[26:48] on the ideas uh of the uh the

[26:51] enlightenment in Britain. But the

[26:53] problem is today is that we've lost

[26:56] belief in ourselves in these values. And

[26:58] Charlie himself said just a few weeks

[27:00] ago that Britain when he came here he

[27:02] said Britain has become a husk of its

[27:04] former self. And we all know this.

[27:06] That's why we're all here. The biblical

[27:08] and conservative values that make

[27:10] Britain great. We we've lost it. We've

[27:11] lost touch with it. And I think it's

[27:13] very telling, isn't it? If we contrast

[27:16] the reaction to the George Floyd killing

[27:19] with the Charlie Kirk killing and murder

[27:22] in the former you had looting riots and

[27:26] here in Charlie's case we see vigils

[27:29] prayer good deeds people taking

[27:31] responsibility for their lives friends

[27:33] that tells you all you need to know and

[27:37] the response also the appalling response

[27:40] to Charlie's murder from the woke

[27:42] brigade and the fringe right has also

[27:45] been appalling and tells us all we need

[27:47] to know. But there's a biblical idea,

[27:50] biblical and spiritual idea that when

[27:52] you kill someone good, someone deeply

[27:54] good, tragic as it is, their goodness

[27:57] actually increases in the world. And

[28:00] there can be no doubt that Charlie's

[28:02] message has been amplified farther and

[28:05] wider than ever before. Young people,

[28:08] not just across America, not just across

[28:09] the West, across the world are asking,

[28:12] "Who is this man Charlie Kirk?" They're

[28:14] watching his videos and he goodness me

[28:15] he has a lot of videos for them to

[28:17] consume. This may well be a very

[28:21] significant turning point and I even say

[28:23] this for me personally too. I myself in

[28:26] the past week have been asking how can

[28:28] what can I do in my own life on a micro

[28:30] level and a macro level to take more

[28:32] personal responsibility for this world.

[28:34] Charlie was a man of principle and

[28:36] courage. And in his absence, because he

[28:39] was, as I said, so irreplaceable, the

[28:41] only response we can offer is that all

[28:44] of us need to become Charlie Kirks.

[28:47] >> We are up against radical opponents,

[28:51] rad, the radical left, radical

[28:53] Islamists, and if we think the answer is

[28:55] just to say, well, we're against

[28:57] radicalism, we will lose. Radicals can

[29:01] only be fought by being radical ourself.

[29:04] We have to be radically good, radical

[29:08] believers in the biblical values that

[29:10] made Britain a great nation. So I leave

[29:13] by asking all of you to think, what will

[29:16] you do to emulate Charlie? I saw a clip

[29:19] of Charlie where he said, I'm a lot less

[29:21] interested in what I want from God and

[29:23] much more interested in what he wants

[29:25] from me.

[29:27] How can we save God's world? So let's

[29:30] all of us ask what can we all do to make

[29:33] this world the world around us in a

[29:34] microwave and a macro way a bit better.

[29:37] How can we all take a bit more personal

[29:39] responsibility? And I'm asking myself

[29:40] the same question bit more personal

[29:42] responsibility in our life for those

[29:44] around us. And how can we live a life

[29:46] more rooted in biblical values? And what

[29:49] will all of us do to stand up to the

[29:51] left's culture of fear in the classroom,

[29:54] in the workplace, and in our social

[29:56] lives? And if you aren't already, of

[29:58] course, make sure you get involved with

[30:00] Turning Point UK, who are going to carry

[30:02] this mission forward. So, may Charlie's

[30:04] memory be a blessing to us all. Let's

[30:06] make him proud. And just as it is in

[30:08] America, let's make this moment a

[30:10] turning point for Britain. God bless you

[30:12] all.

[30:17] [Applause]

[30:22] >> That was Oliver Anisfeld, the founder of

[30:24] Turning Point UK. We have a new addition

[30:27] to our team, a fantastic young speaker.

[30:30] Many of you know him already, but he's

[30:31] our youth ambassador at Turning Point.

[30:34] Let's hear it for young Bob.

[30:36] [Applause]

[30:39] >> Now, there's a common saying I used to

[30:42] say whenever tragedies like this strike

[30:44] the right, that being that the catalyst

[30:46] of a political movement is censorship.

[30:49] And when the most ultimate form of

[30:51] censorship is imposed on an immutable

[30:53] figure within conservative politics. For

[30:56] all I say is this. Like the gentleman

[30:58] before me, this is a turning point for

[31:00] the West. That gentleman, the only one

[31:03] man in the US who stood for young

[31:05] people, ultimately had to take the guilt

[31:09] of divisiveness upon himself. But for my

[31:12] prescription for everyone here is that

[31:15] everyone has to take the blunt of

[31:16] freedom of speech. And I don't know what

[31:19] Charlie Kirk would have said here today,

[31:21] but for what I say here today as someone

[31:23] who's experienced the tyranny on the

[31:25] left in the education institutions here

[31:28] in the West is that we must continue the

[31:30] fight to reunite young people to

[31:33] Christian conservatism because the

[31:35] momentum set by Turning Point USA has to

[31:39] be a momentum that uncovers the globe to

[31:41] make sure that young people, the most

[31:43] valuable resource that our generation

[31:46] has here today, must be protected

[31:49] because so many of them here now are

[31:52] radicalized by gore that they saw at a

[31:54] very young age and now have the guilt to

[31:57] laugh at a poor man who unfortunately

[32:00] passed away. My prescription to everyone

[32:03] here is this. Please continue the

[32:05] platform that Charlie K, the founder of

[32:07] the conservative pipeline, please

[32:10] continue that work because it must be

[32:12] done. And can we please bring back

[32:14] gentlemen debating because unfortunately

[32:17] Charlie Kirk stood on a platform that

[32:20] we're all dignified in the image of God.

[32:22] And you notice that although he could

[32:24] very well articulate his points, he

[32:27] always saw the best in people. He always

[32:29] wanted the best in people. And

[32:31] unfortunately the response in that was

[32:33] ending his life and arguing that for

[32:36] whatever reason someone is devalued off

[32:38] the merit of their opinions. So again,

[32:41] we must continue the fight in the west.

[32:44] We must continue his work here in the

[32:46] UK. And I know that Charlie Kirk wanted

[32:49] the UK branch of his organization to

[32:52] continue in paramount to America.

[32:57] [Applause]

[33:06] >> That was Young Bob, our Turning Point

[33:08] Youth Ambassador.

[33:09] [Applause]

[33:13] You are

[33:15] [Music]

[33:18] and

[33:21] [Music]

[34:45] And again,

[34:47] >> you are

[34:57] we worship you our Lord.

[35:02] You are worthy to be praised.

[35:10] You are

[35:54] We give you all

[35:59] the glory.

[36:04] We worship you Lord.

[36:09] You are worthy to be praised.

[36:26] everyone for coming here today. Uh lots

[36:28] of people are asking how can they get

[36:30] involved in TurningPoint UK. The easiest

[36:32] thing to do is go on to our website,

[36:34] drop us an email, sign up as an activist

[36:35] or a member or message us on social

[36:37] media. We do monitor all of our

[36:40] platforms and if you are keen to get

[36:42] involved and start a chapter

[36:46] uh if you are keen to

[36:50] you are um keen to get involved and help

[36:52] further Charlie's legacy uh please do.

[36:55] Now is the time for us to come together.

[36:56] We've had thousands of people uh sign up

[36:59] and what we don't want to do is is waste

[37:02] Charlie's sacrifice. We want to we want

[37:05] to have something positive come out of

[37:06] this tragedy. We want to build his

[37:08] British vision. He had a dream that TPU

[37:11] UK would replicate TPUSA at the

[37:14] UNiversities and at the community level.

[37:16] And we tried to do this before in 2019

[37:18] and 2020. And we faced horrific abuse

[37:21] from the left. We faced horrific

[37:23] violence. Uh Nick as well. He had a

[37:25] broom handle wrapped around his head um

[37:26] whilst we were doing a peaceful protest.

[37:28] These these people are

[37:31] it's no longer left versus right. It's

[37:33] become good versus evil. And when we're

[37:36] small in numbers, it's very easy for

[37:38] them to bully us and intimidate us and

[37:40] push us around. But when we come

[37:41] together like this, you notice they

[37:43] there's no counterprotest. They're not

[37:44] going to show up because we outnumber

[37:46] them and they are cowards. And we need

[37:48] to learn from Charlie's bravery,

[37:50] Charlie's strength, and come together.

[37:59] [Applause]

[38:02] >> So, thank you again for coming today,

[38:04] everyone. I'm going to pass you over to

[38:05] our COO, Nick.

[38:08] Ladies and gentlemen, we are inundated

[38:11] with people wanting to get involved.

[38:13] Duty and action must now lead the

[38:15] charge. We have a very different system

[38:16] in Britain to uh our brothers and

[38:18] sisters across the pond. All of this

[38:20] ends when good men and women stand up.

[38:22] We are inundated and we we are

[38:25] absolutely looking at we are absolutely

[38:29] You can deal with them if you like. We

[38:31] are absolutely getting back to everyone

[38:33] who contacts us. So, please in front of

[38:37] 200 people, tell another 200 people. And

[38:40] we we honor Charlie's memory.

[38:44] We honor we Yeah, don't worry about him.

[38:46] We honor Charlie's memory by continuing

[38:48] his work. So, thank you, young Bob, uh

[38:51] Thomas, who I'm proud to know. Thank you

[38:53] to Ollie. Uh without you, Ollie Jack.

[38:56] Thank you to our fantastic CEO. Without

[38:58] you, there is no here.

[39:01] Love you, Ollie. Love you, G. Love you,

[39:04] Thomas. Love all of you.

[39:07] >> And we love Charlie K, our founder as

[39:10] well. And we will continue his legacy.

[39:13] But by duty, ladies and gentlemen, and

[39:15] by action.
