Massive event is expected to attract nearly 100,000 to NFL stadium for tribute to Turning Point USA founder.

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.

Authorities have already arrested an evildoer pretending to be part of the security.

I pray security is tighter than it needs to be tomorrow.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Sorry my friends. I’ll be watching football.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Don’t forget to take a knee.

[Responsibility2nd]

I assume as you fail to honor Mr. Kirk, your football teams will also be one of those who failed to honor him.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Yep, the man impersonating a police officer (felony) has ALREADY BEEN RELEASED ON BOND. They couldn’t hold him until AFTER Sunday? WTF !!!!

[gibsonguy]

Dirtysecret is a rat troll and a provocateur. Ignore and move on.

[TermLimits4All]

Jesus, I pray for the safety of all who attend Charlie’s memorial service tomorrow. May they all carry the full armor of God to defeat this evil in our world. Amen

[bayliving]

Would probably be better to telecast or pre-record messages rather than have so many of the administration be in the same place at the same time...

[gibsonguy]

Sounds like surrender.

“Sorry my friends. I’ll be watching football.”

If you are not being sarcastic those words just wrote a whole book about why most of us are NOT your friend and why you have no right to call us your friend.

If you are being sarcastic it is in extremely poor taste Considering the circumstances...

Can I first at least provide him his favorite Negro National Anthem to play before his game?

[doc maverick]

Plus he was traveling with multiple guns and knives.
And they released him????

**I assume as you fail to honor Mr. Kirk, your football teams will also be one of those who failed to honor him.**
49ers. They could have scheduled the service on a Saturday. College football is not as big.

**If you are being sarcastic it is in extremely poor taste Considering the circumstances...**
See above comment. People’s attention spans are short.

**Dirtysecret is a rat troll and a provocateur. Ignore and move on.**
I gave $100 to Marsha Blackburn. Did the same for John Thune when he went against tiny Tom Daschle. Put my money where my mouth is. And you?

[frank ballenger]

Such a good man who innocently engaged in back and forth conversation which was better than the leftists, atheists and close minded types deserved but he didn’t care.

To me the saddest of the sad scenes is the interview TV show clip where mom held back their sweet little daughter and then let her go to join him on stage where he sat, first walking quickly and then just breaking into a run and jumping up to hug Charlie whose face broke into a huge smile.

[cowboyusa]

Praying every hour.

[frank ballenger]

That is disturbing. Fake police or other uniforms could mean serious trouble.

Prayers up for the physical safety of all at the ceremony.

[Responsibility2nd]

You - per your homepage - are a libertarian.

No wonder you dishonor Charlie Kirk.

[bayliving]

While I would typically agree with your sentiment, losing Charlie is bad enough... the terrorists only need to get lucky once.

Why take the chance because of pride?

What would this country look like if someone slips in and manages the unthinkable?!

[Openurmind]

“Plus he was traveling with multiple guns and knives.
And they released him????”

Neither of which are illegal or uncommon in Az. So they have to prove he actually intended to commit a crime and do harm with those weapons. Possession of guns and knives are not enough alone.
