[applause] so there are a few rare moments in life when you realize how old you are getting. Coming here for decades, this is actually the first time i will be introducing someone who is significantly younger than i am. [laughter] this is a new experience for me. I am excited about that i we are very happy to have charlie kirk here with us tonight, today a Great American and a great speaker and author and political figure but its an honor to have him here today hes the founder of turning point usa. Im sure many of you are aware of this. [applause] i would call it the preeminent education to teach children the values that make the United States great. [applause] and that is what is so needed on campuses today not just at the College Level but the High School Level and Elementary School level that is the greatest danger to our country and we need the voice of people like charlie kirk to show kids there are another option then what is taught in schools and that is the right way to live your life in support your country and what is so exciting to see people and what is conservative of that movement. But i have to say when turning point was founded in 2012 i was at the convention and i remember foster free said come to this meeting im interested in funding the organization and you should come with me. But that shows why foster freeze is a successful billionaire and i am ryan today making a really good decision talking about his new book not only a great difference of president trumps record growing jobs, keeping United States safe he will be known as a Great Peacemaker around the world there is a great sense of that but not just that. The book is forwardlooking how the United States and people in the United States can defeat socialism that is growing too strong in the United States. [applause] [applause]
