1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,833
to come to our home and
tell my home.
2
00:00:03,733 --> 00:00:12,199
[APPLAUSE]
3
00:00:14,066 --> 00:00:19,833
Charlie Kirk was scheduled to
speak at my husband's
4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,333
upcoming memorial.
5
00:00:22,833 --> 00:00:27,633
Instead, I am here speaking
at Charlie's memorial.
6
00:00:29,566 --> 00:00:31,933
It means a lot to share
my story.
7
00:00:33,866 --> 00:00:39,966
Almost 12 years ago, I met this
bright young man filled
8
00:00:40,033 --> 00:00:44,033
with optimism about his plan
to reach young people.
9
00:00:45,233 --> 00:00:48,500
I was so impressed that I invited
him to come to our
10
00:00:48,566 --> 00:00:53,100
home and tell my husband and
me more about his
11
00:00:53,166 --> 00:00:53,833
organization.
12
00:00:54,966 --> 00:00:58,966
That young man, of course, was
Charlie Kirk and his
13
00:00:59,033 --> 00:01:02,399
organization was Turning
Point USA.
14
00:01:04,133 --> 00:01:09,900
[APPLAUSE]
15
00:01:11,733 --> 00:01:15,400
Charlie told us how he wanted
to start two chapters in
16
00:01:15,466 --> 00:01:16,266
North Florida.
17
00:01:17,233 --> 00:01:21,000
When asked how much money it
would take, he told us he
18
00:01:21,066 --> 00:01:23,566
thought it would take
about $50,000.
19
00:01:25,666 --> 00:01:29,966
Not knowing anything about this
young man, except that
20
00:01:30,033 --> 00:01:35,533
he sounded impressive, we told
him that if he could raise
21
00:01:35,733 --> 00:01:41,166
the first half, we would give
him the remaining $25,000.
22
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:52,133
Two days later, Charlie called
to say that he had raised
23
00:01:52,266 --> 00:01:52,766
the money.
24
00:01:55,666 --> 00:01:59,333
[APPLAUSE]
25
00:02:02,866 --> 00:02:05,266
He was not in his hometown.
26
00:02:06,633 --> 00:02:09,233
He was not even in his
home state.
27
00:02:10,366 --> 00:02:15,699
He was 20 years old, and yet
he met our challenge.
28
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:22,900
I laughed and I told him, I said,
well, Charlie, I guess
29
00:02:23,133 --> 00:02:24,566
we owe you a check.
30
00:02:28,099 --> 00:02:31,633
That was Charlie Kirk's first
challenge grant.
31
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,566
After that initial grant, we
followed suit with multiple
32
00:02:38,666 --> 00:02:42,933
challenge grants, each one
larger than the previous,
33
00:02:43,866 --> 00:02:46,400
eventually growing into
the millions.
34
00:02:46,466 --> 00:02:53,833
In the early days, Charlie felt
like a son to me.
35
00:02:55,466 --> 00:02:59,933
More recently, I was the one
looking up to him.
36
00:03:01,633 --> 00:03:03,099
Charlie never disappointed.
37
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:09,300
He met every challenge with
optimism and grit.
38
00:03:11,099 --> 00:03:17,433
Today, I feel like Charlie
is challenging us.
39
00:03:18,266 --> 00:03:24,166
Will we meet his challenge to fight
for freedom, for family,
40
00:03:25,133 --> 00:03:25,866
for faith?
41
00:03:27,466 --> 00:03:32,533
More importantly, will we do this
the way that Charlie did,
42
00:03:33,866 --> 00:03:35,666
with a heart that loves God?
43
00:03:38,166 --> 00:03:41,933
Before you answer that question,
I would like to
44
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,733
share something else with you.
45
00:03:44,833 --> 00:03:49,366
Shortly before I met Charlie, I
had become very discouraged
46
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,966
about the atmosphere
in our country.
47
00:03:52,966 --> 00:03:56,500
I even suggested to my husband
that maybe
48
00:03:56,566 --> 00:03:57,900
we should stop trying.
49
00:03:59,233 --> 00:04:02,266
It seemed that the money and time
we were giving to freedom
50
00:04:02,366 --> 00:04:06,166
causes did not seem to be
making a difference.
51
00:04:07,699 --> 00:04:11,766
Bill asked me to read an
article by Larry Reed.
52
00:04:13,133 --> 00:04:15,666
The essence of the article
said this.
53
00:04:16,633 --> 00:04:22,366
If we truly believed in freedom,
we must never stop
54
00:04:22,466 --> 00:04:24,033
trying to preserve it.
55
00:04:25,533 --> 00:04:30,266
We had a moral obligation to
fight for freedom.
56
00:04:31,666 --> 00:04:36,866
And as long as there is a
breath in our bodies, we
57
00:04:36,933 --> 00:04:37,666
must fight.
58
00:04:47,899 --> 00:04:52,666
By encountering Charlie, we met
a true freedom fighter.
59
00:04:54,766 --> 00:05:00,433
Today, there is no doubt that
Charlie Kirk fought for
60
00:05:00,699 --> 00:05:06,000
freedom with the last breath
in his body.
61
00:05:07,866 --> 00:05:09,266
Thank you, Charlie Kirk.
62
00:05:14,933 --> 00:05:18,699
And thank you to everyone who
will not stop fighting.
63
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:23,733
To all who will meet the challenge
Charlie gave us.
64
00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:24,833
Thank you.
