Thank you, Charlie Kirk.

[00:00] The reason I call all of you my cousins

[00:01] is because I view my platform like a

[00:03] family dinner table. Sometimes we fight,

[00:05] often we laugh, and you guys roast me

[00:07] sometimes. But no matter what the

[00:09] disagreement is, we always welcome

[00:11] discourse. That's what democracy is

[00:13] really about. And no one embodied that

[00:15] more than Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk was

[00:18] a great man and someone who just earlier

[00:20] this year became a true friend and

[00:22] mentor of mine. He deserved to go home

[00:24] at night alongside his wife and two

[00:26] children. Instead, his life was cut

[00:28] short at only 31 years old because he

[00:30] dared to invite discourse on an American

[00:32] college campus in 2025. Only a coward

[00:35] who's terrified of truth would shut down

[00:37] respectful dialogue, let alone try to

[00:39] silence it permanently. But taking

[00:40] Charlie Kirk's life didn't silence him.

[00:42] It amplified everything he ever stood

[00:44] for. Charlie Kirk embodied the mantra of

[00:46] God, family, and country. I always

[00:48] admired how he was willing to hear out

[00:50] anyone, no matter if they disagreed. He

[00:53] continuously sought to uplift new,

[00:54] unique voices. He truly left a cultural

[00:57] shift and dare I say a revolution of

[00:59] guiding young people to love America. It

[01:02] was working. It was happening. Young

[01:04] people are patriots again. Young people

[01:06] realized that we could disagree and

[01:08] still work towards goals together. And

[01:10] personally, every conversation I had

[01:13] with Charlie made me feel a stronger

[01:14] sense of purpose. He taught me to never

[01:17] underestimate the power of my own voice.

[01:19] Without him, many of us would still be

[01:21] afraid to speak up. But Charlie, he

[01:23] championed fearlessness. He's a hero and

[01:26] that's why his life and legacy will

[01:28] forever embody the deepest price of

[01:29] freedom. May God cover the Kirk family

[01:32] and may we thank him for our time with

[01:33] Charlie Kirk.
