Charlie Kirk Reflects on Courage, Faith, and His Legacy in Powerful Tribute Video

[00:00] How do you want to be remembered?

[00:01] If I die, everything just goes away. How

[00:03] would you if you could be associated

[00:05] with one thing? How would you want to be

[00:07] remembered?

[00:07] I want to be I want to be remembered for

[00:09] for courage for my faith.

[00:11] That that would be the most important

[00:12] thing. Today, we honor and pay tribute

[00:15] to Charlie Kirk's life and denounce

[00:18] those who are celebrating his death.

[00:20] It is my uh great dishonor to be the

[00:23] person that says this and breaks this to

[00:25] you. The great and even legendary

[00:27] Charlie Kirk is dead. When you're on

[00:29] campus,

[00:30] do you ever feel unsafe when it gets to

[00:33] this amount of numbers?

[00:34] I mean, my wife is the best person ever

[00:36] and she's a patriot and she's a believer

[00:38] and we don't want to have to be

[00:40] accountable to God when this life

[00:41] penises. And he asks, "Why did you not

[00:43] trust in me and not fight evil?" Because

[00:46] we as Christians are called to fight

[00:47] evil. It's Psalm 97:10. For those of you

[00:49] that love God, you must hate evil. So, I

[00:51] I don't do I do I worry for my safety?

[00:54] No.

[00:58] What advice do you have for me as I move

[01:00] into adulthood in order to become a more

[01:03] informed and involved citizen?

[01:05] Well, first of all, thank you for being

[01:07] here and

[01:09] I have hope thanks to people like you.

[01:11] How old are you again?

[01:12] 13.

[01:12] 13. Here's a couple things I want to

[01:15] encourage you to do. Learn something new

[01:17] every single day and focus on what it

[01:20] means to be a good person and a person

[01:22] of strong character. Aristotle said that

[01:24] courage is the ultimate virtue. Without

[01:26] it, there are no other virtues. If

[01:27] people aren't courageous, you don't have

[01:29] honesty. You don't have justice. You

[01:31] don't have beauty. You don't have

[01:32] wonder. And so, at age 13, I want you to

[01:34] commit yourself to a life of courage.

[01:36] Courage is doing the right thing when

[01:38] you don't know how it's going to work

[01:39] out. Courage is committing yourself to

[01:41] the correct course of action regardless

[01:43] of the cost associated to it. Every

[01:45] human being, I believe, is made in the

[01:47] image of the divine, is sacred, is

[01:49] unique. And if we get away from this

[01:50] principle as we have, we not only have

[01:52] moral degradation. We not only have the

[01:54] collapsing society around us, but it's

[01:56] bad for that being itself. That being

[01:58] itself is unique. That being has rights.

[02:00] And who are we to say just because we're

[02:02] older that we get to murder it? Thank

[02:04] you.

[02:09] [Music]

[02:14] Young men, you need to have a

[02:16] destination in your life. If you are on

[02:18] a date and a young lady says, "Well,

[02:20] what do you do?" You're like, "Uh, guys,

[02:22] I kind of meander and I, you know, I go

[02:24] on DraftKings and I, you know, I own

[02:28] crypto and like I don't know, ain't

[02:32] loser." Instead, it should be I'm

[02:34] studying this because of this. I'm going

[02:36] to start a business. I'm going to work

[02:37] for this person. I want to be able to

[02:38] make this much money by this period of

[02:40] time to provide for a family. and I

[02:42] don't care how hard it gets, but I'll

[02:43] provide for you and provide for the

[02:44] kids, and I will be the the protector

[02:46] and the covering over the family. Follow

[02:48] me cuz I'm going to lead us. That's what

[02:49] they want to hear. They want the

[02:51] confidence and the security that when

[02:53] life gets difficult and when life starts

[02:57] falling apart, that that man will lead

[03:00] them towards security and stability. Cuz

[03:03] deep down, women have a very well-built

[03:05] and finely tuned god-given instinct that

[03:08] they'll be able to tell in a man when

[03:10] the bullets start firing, is this guy

[03:12] going to protect me and protect my kids,

[03:14] and is he going to provide or is he

[03:15] going to run for the hills? Go look to

[03:17] your grandfather's generation that

[03:18] stormed Normandy Beach that built this

[03:20] nation that started big businesses that

[03:23] went on adventure. If the most important

[03:26] thing for you is just feeling good,

[03:28] you're going to end up miserable. But if

[03:30] the most important thing is doing good,

[03:32] you will end up purposeful.

[03:35] What strikes me about this generation,

[03:38] this generation is the most conservative

[03:40] generation that we have seen in well

[03:42] over 50 years. And the numbers show it.

[03:45] This is

[03:47] this is the greatest generational

[03:49] realignment since Woodstock.

[03:52] We have never seen a generation move so

[03:55] quickly and so fast. And you guys are

[03:57] making all the liberals confused. They

[04:00] thought you were going to be the most

[04:01] liberal generation.

[04:03] You're obviously very anti-trans.

[04:06] I'm pro reality.

[04:07] If you were pro-reality, let me tell you

[04:09] a story.

[04:10] Let me guess. All the Nazis were against

[04:11] trans people, too. And therefore, that

[04:13] means me a Nazi.

[04:14] Yeah. You mean the You mean the uh just

[04:16] ate mild them.

[04:19] Um, do you have a dog?

[04:20] I do have a dog.

[04:21] I can't believe it. Hitler had a dog.

[04:23] You have a dog. You're a Nazi. Oh my

[04:26] god.

[04:27] How are you? What a beautiful kid that

[04:29] is.

[04:29] Thank you.

[04:29] What a gift from God.

[04:31] She truly is. She is the biggest

[04:33] blessing. Something that kind of has me

[04:35] like on the fence of whether or not I go

[04:37] kind of like full-blown more like

[04:39] conservative or moderate is just seeing

[04:42] how seeing how like welfare has like

[04:45] really like destroyed like the family

[04:47] unit. I see that, you know, we're

[04:48] starting to save a lot of money. Do you

[04:51] think that some of that money should go

[04:52] back to maybe like reforming the way

[04:54] How do you feel about being called a

[04:55] fascist?

[04:56] I don't care being lied about.

[04:57] Why is it a lie?

[04:58] Cuz I'm not a fascist. I believe in a

[05:00] free society. Let me ask you, who's the

[05:02] fascist? The guy that's smiling in the

[05:04] sun or the 500 people barking trying to

[05:06] prevent me from speaking.

[05:08] To my great fellow Americans, I'm filled

[05:10] with grief and anger at the heinous

[05:13] assassination of Charlie Kirk on a

[05:16] college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired

[05:20] millions and tonight all who knew him

[05:22] and loved him are united in shock and

[05:25] horror. Charlie was a patriot who

[05:29] devoted his life to the cause of open

[05:31] debate and the country that he loved so

[05:34] much, the United States of America. He

[05:37] fought for liberty, democracy, justice,

[05:39] and the American people. He's a martyr

[05:42] for truth and freedom and there's never

[05:45] been anyone who was so respected by

[05:47] youth.

[05:49] I go around universities and have

[05:50] challenging conversations. Um because

[05:53] that's what is so important to our

[05:56] country is to find our disagreements

[05:59] respectfully cuz when people stop

[06:01] talking that's when violence happens.

[06:02] I've never seen someone. Well, it's a

[06:04] growing trend because people like me are

[06:07] facing violence, assaults, the left.

[06:10] The left?

[06:11] Yes. The campus Antifa. I've been

[06:13] stormed out of restaurants. I've been

[06:15] assaulted publicly, multiple death

[06:16] threats.

[06:17] Okay. So, what's your drawing on this?

[06:19] There's more people that agree with me

[06:20] than some people would actually believe

[06:23] and they come out of the woodwork when I

[06:24] do stuff like this. We record all of it

[06:26] so that we put on the internet so people

[06:28] can see these ideas collide. When people

[06:30] stop talking, that's when you get

[06:31] violence. That's when civil war happens

[06:34] because you start to think the other

[06:35] side is so evil and they lose their

[06:36] humanity.

[06:37] It's usually a college campus against

[06:40] Charlie. I've noticed the swing of a

[06:43] college campus.

[06:43] It's totally changed

[06:44] Charlie now. And it's radically

[06:46] different and it's so much more fun to

[06:47] watch. What do you attribute that to?

[06:49] You know what it is? The people in this

[06:51] audience are smart and they're panicking

[06:54] that they're not going to have a

[06:55] country.

[06:56] They're the first generation since

[06:59] George Washington to have it worse off

[07:01] than their parents. This generation is

[07:03] the most depressed, suicidal, anxious,

[07:06] drugaddicted, lowest home ownership,

[07:08] poorest, most overweight, directionless.

[07:11] No, I mean again, these are I mean it's

[07:12] this is true. And also this generation

[07:14] around you has something very unique.

[07:16] Almost everyone in this audience here

[07:18] had their prom canceled because of co

[07:21] had their graduation ceremonies canled

[07:23] probably lost a friend to suicide

[07:24] because of all the lockdowns and they

[07:26] are looking for a country that they can

[07:28] believe in that they can live in. So I'm

[07:30] not going to take credit for it. These

[07:31] are forces greater than us. We just

[07:33] happen to be at the right place at the

[07:34] right time.

[07:34] When people stop talking, really bad

[07:37] stuff sucks. When marriages stop

[07:39] talking, divorce happens. When

[07:40] civilizations stop talking, civil war

[07:42] ensues. When you stop having a human

[07:44] connection with someone you disagree

[07:46] with, it becomes a lot easier to want to

[07:48] commit violence against that group. What

[07:50] we as a culture have to get back to is

[07:52] being able to have reasonable

[07:53] disagreement where violence is not an

[07:55] option.

[07:55] We are all visitors to this time, this

[07:58] place.

[08:00] We are just passing through.

[08:04] Our purpose here is to observe,

[08:08] to learn, to grow, to love.

[08:13] And then we return home.

[08:17] [Music]

[08:19] At the core of the left, at the core of

[08:22] a liberal

[08:24] is someone that would use the sword if

[08:26] they had it. They are very violent

[08:28] people at their core. They always have

[08:30] been.

[08:32] They can't debate. They can't have

[08:34] conversation. So, they'll resort to

[08:37] these tactics. They're going to do

[08:38] everything they possibly can to try to

[08:40] murder this movement because they can't

[08:41] beat us. So, they're going to try to

[08:42] take weapons. And know we're very aware

[08:45] of that. I'm aware of it. We have to

[08:46] have full-time security. This is not a

[08:47] joke. This is who these people are.

[08:52] Charlie is gone, but never forgotten.

[08:54] This truly is a turning point. Tell us

[08:56] what Charlie meant to you in the

[08:57] comments down below. Let's memorialize

[08:59] him instead of celebrate his death like

[09:02] the left is doing. I'm CV and I'll see

[09:04] you in the next video.
