Hello. My name is Andrew Colvet. I am spokesman for Turning

Point USA. I'm a business partner

of Charlie's. I was the executive producer.

I am the executive producer of the Charlie

Kirk show. But most of all, I'm a long

time friend of Charlie's. Charlie and I built

the show over eight years, brick by brick. And

I'm so proud of what we accomplished together.

And these wonderful people standing

behind me are the geniuses, the camera ops, the

board ops, the producers, the editors, and

the social media team who made the show happen

every single day. You preempted my

applause line, so we're going to do it again. They

deserve it. They have performed their

duties heroically this last week. So please join

us this week. But we knew it's exactly

what Charlie would have wanted. And I want to

thank you, the audience. You've helped us

work through our grief and our broken hearts,

live, on camera, streaming everywhere. And

I hope that we've been able to help you do

the same in some small way. But I will tell

you something. It's remarkable that in the

midst of everything else Charlie had going on in his life,

fundraising, traveling, speaking,

running two organizations, that he even had

time to fit in a daily radio show and podcast.

But I'll tell you something. That show became

the favorite part of Charlie's daily routine.

It was his one constant amid never ending

change. Even when he was on the road, even

when he was overseas, even during AMFEST and

our conferences, we did the show. But mostly

it worked because Charlie loved you, the

audience. He read every single email you all

sent to him. That's why he said every single day, send us an

email at freedom at CharlieKirk.com.

Send us your thoughts. If you agree, you disagree. And we want

you to keep sending us those emails.

I have no idea how he did it, but he really read every single

one of them. And this is a true story.

At the end of every show, I had a little ritual of my own. I

would go into the sent folder of

freedom at CharlieKirk.com. And sure enough, every single show,

I would find debates that he was

having with his audience that disagreed on some minor point.

There would be email chains, six or

seven emails long, all why Charlie Kirk was

hosting his own show. It's truly remarkable.

And you, his audience, the grassroots, the muscular class, you

all were his firewall for freedom. You

were his North Star. When he met fancy elites who tried to take

him off course and try and tell him

what regular people really cared about, he knew better because

he knew all of you. Yes. He knew he

had a secret weapon. And it was you. And he never forgot about

you because he loved you and he

respected your wisdom. You see, it's only now that I'm

beginning to realize what was going on all

these years that I spent with Charlie. We called them campus

tours. Now I know they were really tent

revivals complete with a tent. Amen. We call it the Charlie

Kirk show, but it was really just Charlie

confronting the lies in the culture and pointing to the truth

day in and day out and millions of

you tuned in. You see, I see it now clearly that Charlie Kirk

was a prophet. Not the fortune telling

kind that could predict the future, but the biblical kind. He

confronted evil and proclaimed the truth

and called us to repent and be saved. Amen. And he wasn't mean

about it. He was kind and he was loving.

And you could hear in his voice that he desperately wanted the

best for you and for all of us. So friends,
