Again, this is not a sales call.

This is the entire team on the phone.

This conversation

new corporate-wide call that I'm going to share with you today took place even earlier.

so that you can go back into your time machines.

It took place just five and a half days after Charlie was pronounced dead, five and a half days later.

The date is September 16th.

This is when Turning Point USA employees are told that Erica is going to be replacing Charlie as the CEO and chairman.

The public is going to be informed a day later on September 17th in a public letter signed off by Doug DeGroot, who's on the board.

And I should be clear that when Doug DeGroote, going backward and looking at the announcement, he makes it very biblical, very biblical, which is a common theme here.

Everything is about this is what God has ordained.

Here is the letter.

I'm just going to read the top here.

It reads, in Ecclesiastes, King Solomon wrote that mankind is to be tested by God.

Today, we are facing such a test, yet we also know that God has prepared us with everything that we need to overcome this ordeal.

It was the honor of our lives to serve as board members of Charlie's side.

Charlie prepared all of us for a moment like this one.

He worked tirelessly to ensure Turning Point USA was built to survive even the greatest tests.

And now it is our great pride to announce Erica Kirk as the new CEO and chair of the board for Turning Point USA.

So I want you to remember that it's like going, I don't even remember that letter at all.
