The conservative world will gather in Arizona on Sunday, September 21, to remember American legend Charlie Kirk.
The service for the Turning Point USA founder will be held at the NFL home of the Arizona Cardinals, which holds more than 60,000 people and has been the site of multiple Super Bowls. It will feature speeches by the top administration figures including President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
It will also feature a speech by Erika Kirk, who was unanimously elected to take over her husband’s role as CEO and Board Chair of Turning Point USA.
The Daily Wire will stream the Turning Point USA event across all platforms at 2:00 p.m. ET.
Erika Kirk has pledged that the assassination of her husband will only make Turning Point USA stronger.
“The evildoers responsible for my husband’s assassination, they have no idea what they have done,” a fiery Erika said. “They should all know this, if you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea, you have no idea what you just unleashed across this country.”
“You have no idea the fire you have ignited in his wife,” she said. “The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.”
“The movement my husband built will not die. It won’t. I refuse to let that happen,” Erika pledged. “No one will ever forget my husband’s name, and I will make sure of it.”
The conservative world is expected to turn out in force to honor Kirk, who has been credited as one of the key architects of Trump’s political movement.
“Charlie inspired millions, and tonight, all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror. Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loves so much, the United States of America,” Trump said in an Oval Office address. “He fought for liberty, democracy, justice, and the American people. He’s a martyr for truth and freedom, and there’s never been anyone who was so respected by youth.”
Trump has also said that Kirk will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
