0:00.0	Today is Friday, September 19th, 2025. I just saw one of the most beautiful things that I've ever seen in my life walking into this place, this place that I have so many memories in for 10 years. I've been entering this building back before it was even owned by Turning Point USA. Now they own the entire complex. It's remarkable. The growth has been incredible.
0:23.1	I was out here when Charlie was asking me to join Turning Point USA as the director of productions.
0:28.9	It must have been now close to a decade ago. And the building was split and it was being shared.
0:35.7	And now it's just magnificent and nothing
0:40.1	is more magnificent than what I saw walking in. I want to share that with you here. This is the
0:46.7	memorial to Charlie outside of the building that we are in right now. The memorial stretches on forever and ever and ever and ever.

1:49.1	The profound paying homage to Charlie Kirk. This is at 6th a.m. this morning. The profundity of it all.
2:02.5	This massive complex that Charlie built with his incredible team here. It's remarkable. You can see some of the size and scope of the buildings, all of those buildings owned by Turning Point USA and massive, most successful, fastest single growing,
2:09.8	most powerful political youth organization in the world. Sixty-eight thousand is that the new
2:16.4	number of chapters for Turning Point USA chapter request at 68,000 is that the new number of chapters for Turning Point USA chapter request
2:20.3	at 68,000. So, ladies and gentlemen, bear with us today as we are going to be sort of having
2:27.5	the wash of emotion and memories as we do it live on the program and in our own poor
2:33.2	and humble way as we remember Charlie Kirk as we head it live on the program and in our own poor and humble way,
