President Trump Joins Nation in Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Enduring Legacy

The following is from the Trump team. 

Yesterday, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and numerous Administration officials gathered with tens of thousands of American Patriots at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, to celebrate the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk. It was a celebration of Charlie Kirk’s extraordinary life — ensuring his message of hope, reason, and righteousness endures as a beacon for generations.

The Administration — including President Trump, Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and White House Office of Presidential Personnel Director Sergio Gor — shared stirring testimonies of Kirk’s role as a leader, mentor, and motivator who didn’t just debate ideas, but ignited souls and forged a movement that now stands stronger than ever.

Here are key moments from President Trump’s remarks:

• “Charles James Kirk was heinously murdered by a radicalized, cold-blooded monster for speaking the truth that was in his heart. He was violently killed because he spoke for freedom and justice, for God and country, for reason and for common sense. He was assassinated because he lived bravely, he led boldly, and he argued brilliantly — without apology… On that terrible day, September 10th, 2025, our greatest evangelist for American liberty became immortal. He’s a martyr now for American freedom.” (Watch)
• “Through it all, the core of Charlie’s message and his basic method never changed… At every campus event, Charlie asked the people who disagreed with him to come forward — and instead of silencing them, he handed them a microphone and let them speak.” (Watch)
• “Shortly before Charlie arrived on campus the day he was assassinated, a staff member texted him that there were many critics and students who were opposed his views… Charlie wrote back to the staff member saying, ‘I’m not here to fight them. I want them to know them and love them and I want to reach them and try and lead them into a great way of life in our country.’ In that private moment on his dying day, we find everything we need to know about who Charlie Kirk truly was.” (Watch)
• “The radicals and their allies in the media — sometimes referred to, as my son said, the Fake News Media — tried to silence Charlie for a simple reason: because he was winning, and he was winning big… They lied about him because they did not want you to listen to him or learn from him. (Watch)
• “Every single American should take a long, hard look at the twisted soul and dark spirit of anyone who would want to kill a young man as good as Charlie Kirk — to kill anybody, but to kill a man like this… and anyone who would make excuses for it.” (Watch)
• “Charlie’s murder was not just an attack on one man or one movement — it was an attack on our entire nation… It was an assault on our most sacred liberties and God-given rights. The gun was pointed at him, but the bullet was aimed at all of us… Indeed, Charlie was killed for expressing the very ideas that virtually everyone in this arena, and most other places throughout our country, deeply belief in. But the assassin failed in his quest — because Charlie’s message has not been silenced, it now is bigger and better and stronger than ever before, and it’s not even close.” (Watch)
• “Some of the very same people who spent the last eight years trying to sit in moral judgment of anyone who disagreed with them about politics suddenly started cheering for murder… Some of the very people who call you a ‘hater’ for using the wrong pronoun were filled with glee at the killing of a father with two young children, and the same commentators who this week are screaming ‘fascism’ over a canceled late-night TV show, where the anchor had no talent or no ratings, last week were implying that Charlie Kirk deserved what happened to him.” (Watch)
• “No side in American politics has a monopoly on disturbed or misguided people, but there’s one part of our political community which believes they have a monopoly on truth, goodness, and virtue — and concludes they have also have a monopoly on power, thought, and speech… Tragically, atrocities of this kind we saw in Utah of all places are the eventual consequence of that kind of thinking. If speech is violence, then some are bound to conclude that violence is justified to stop speech.”  (Watch)
• “The tradition of reason and open debate that Charlie practiced is not a pillar of our democracy; in many ways it’s the basis of our entire society… We will defend it at all costs and we will carry forward the torch of liberty that Charlie Kirk held so proud and so high.” (Watch)
• “Perhaps it should be no surprise that Charlie, who spent his life speaking with the critics of these traditions, ultimately became convinced that we needed not just a political re-alignment, but also a spiritual reawakening… He would have been so pleased to hear his friends and colleagues today giving testimony and giving glory to God.” (Watch)
• “The lesson of Charlie’s life is that you should never underestimate what one person can do with a good heart, a righteous cause, a cheerful spirit, and the will to fight, fight, fight… Charlie Kirk started with only an idea to change minds on college campuses and instead he ended up with a far greater achievement — changing history.” (Watch)

Podcast host Benny Johnson told the behind-the-scenes story of Elon Musk reuniting with President Trump at Charlie Kirk’s memorial after the two had a very public ‘split.’

Earlier this year, Elon Musk and President Trump had a falling out over the ‘Big Beautiful Bill.’

After previously exchanging public barbs, President Trump and Elon Musk sat side by side at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service on Sunday.

Benny Johnson said Elon Musk called for unity.

“Elon came up to all of us and said: ‘If we don’t hang together, we will surely hang separately, so let us unite. I was proud to sit with my President,” Benny Johnson said.

Benny Johnson continued,” So backstage, Elon Musk embraces Erika Kirk and she’s crying in his arms and they’re hugging and it’s really profound. This was after the speeches. This was after the program. And this is the words that Elon Musk said to us in this small little group with Erika Kirk and he said this is why I was proud to sit with my president today.”

“Charlie dreamed of this, uniting Elon Musk and Donald Trump after their falling out. Two powerful men reconciled because of him. Amazing things are happening,” Benny Johnson said.

“Even in death, Charlie is bringing together forces the world thought could never reunite,” he added.

During Sunday’s memorial service, many people shared stories about the impact Charlie Kirk has had and will continue to have on his fellow Americans and people around the world.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared a powerful story about Charlie’s impact on his family.

“My granddaughter left for college in Europe. Her mother noticed that she packed a Bible..”

“When her mother asked her why she made that choice, she said, ‘I want to live more like Charlie.’”

Secretary Kennedy also shared powerful advice on how to deal with the death of a loved one.

“When my brother David died, I had a conversation with my mother, who had been through more than her share of loss and tragedy. And I asked her- ‘Does the hole they leave in you when they die, does it get any smaller?’”

“She said- ‘No, it never gets any smaller, but our job is to build ourselves bigger around the hole, and we do that by taking the best virtues and character traits of the person that we lost, and using discipline and restraint and practice integrating those character traits into our own character.’”

“‘And in doing that, we make ourselves larger and the hole gets proportionately smaller and we also give that person a kind of immortality – because the best parts of them are now living on us.’”

President Trump woke up on Monday and decided to do a bit of trolling of one of America’s top adversaries following yesterday’s somber and historic Charlie Kirk memorial service.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump on Saturday took to Truth Social to warn Venezuelan leadership that they better take care of the monsters they are allowing into the United States, or else.

“We want Venezuela to immediately accept all of the prisoners, and people from mental institutions, which includes the Worst in the World Insane Asylums, that Venezuelan ‘Leadership’ has forced into the United States of America,” Trump wrote.

“Thousands of people have been badly hurt, and even killed, by these ‘Monsters.’” “GET THEM THE HELL OUT OF OUR COUNTRY, RIGHT NOW, OR THE PRICE YOU PAY WILL BE INCALCULABLE!”

Venezuela, under communist tyrant Nicolas Maduro, has been dumping its criminals, including violent r*pists and murderers, into America for years while drugs from the country flow into America uninterrupted.

The Pentagon issued a warning to the Maduro regime in early September after two of the regime’s F-16 fighter jets flew near the USS Jason Dunham, an Arleigh Burke-class Aegis guided missile destroyer that is part of a U.S. fleet patrolling off the coast of Venezuela to combat that government’s drug cartel trafficking.

Things have gotten so bad that the US has been forced to take out drug smuggling ships to prevent the death of thousands more Americans from the drugs. Trump then signaled a willingness to consider striking cartels inside Venezuela.

These developments have caused some to wonder whether America is about to go to war with another country when our military is already stretched thin.

Trump, though, decided to lighten things up by posting a hilarious “Top Secret” video supposedly showing the Venezuelan military training to take on America. As one will see in the video, morbidly obese women wearing red shirts are seen carrying guns while lumbering at about two miles per hour.

Guards look on as the women waddle around aimlessly.

“TOP SECRET: We caught the Venezuelan Militia in training. A very serious threat!” Trump wrote.

WATCH:

While the Venezuelan military is likely a bit better equipped than this in reality, the US could still destroy them quite easily at any point. Maduro would be well-advised to keep his mouth shut and cooperate with Trump.

TICK TOCK…Detroit election officials and Michigan’s dirty Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson have officially been put on notice.

After years of being gaslighted by some of the most dishonest people in election history, The Gateway Pundit, along with some of the most respected election investigators in the state, are about to blow the lid off the lies about Detroit’s “secure” 2020 election that helped to give Joe Biden an inexplicable victory in the must-win state of Michigan.

On Election Night 2020, President Donald J. Trump appeared to hold commanding leads in key battleground states — approximately 100,000 votes in Wisconsin, 300,000 in Michigan, and 700,000 in Pennsylvania. For Joe Biden to erase those margins, his performance in the outstanding vote would have needed to be dramatically stronger, particularly in heavily Democratic strongholds such as Detroit, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia.

As the night wore on, reports emerged — often inconsistent — that some precincts had stopped counting, sent workers home, or restarted tabulations under unclear circumstances. To this day, there is confusion and disagreement over the extent of these pauses and whether any state laws or procedures were ignored in the process. What cannot be disputed is that vote totals from Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania continued to change throughout the night, long after many Americans had gone to bed.

By the early morning hours of November 4, Wisconsin had flipped blue, followed soon after by the must-win state of Michigan. Days later, Georgia and Pennsylvania flipped for Biden as well. For many observers, the abrupt turnarounds — combined with conflicting reports of election-night disruptions — fueled deep skepticism about the integrity and transparency of the process.

Michigan lawmakers and election integrity investigators have spent an untold number of hours and resources to prove the election in Detroit was rigged. To date, they have not been able to secure the documents needed to verify what they believe happened that led to an inexplicable victory for Joe Biden in the presidential race.

Enter Yehuda Miller—an American hero.

Yehuda Miller, a New Jersey resident, explained to The Gateway Pundit that he used to be “non-political,” until after the 2020 election, when he found himself questioning the hotly-contested election results and the subsequent lack of transparency by election officials in key swing states whose results handed the presidency to the unremarkable and by many accounts, the inchoherent Democrat candidate Joe Biden.

Last week, Mr. Miller contacted me with news that he had just obtained almost 1 million election documents from the 2020 election via FOIA from the City of Detroit and Wayne County. Yehuda Miller’s request for the documents was originally rejected. Undeterred by their denial of public records, Miller hired a top FOIA attorney who successfully sued for the documents before the expiration of the 22-month federally mandated period, which requires election officials to retain all election records from all general, special, or primary elections. We are pleased to report that Mr. Miller has now secured copies of the actual absentee ballots, the signed envelopes that contained the absentee ballots, absentee ballot applications, QVF files, and total tapes from each (including the OUT OF BALANCE) Detroit precincts.

Within hours of obtaining the electronic files and hard copies of the copied materials, The Gateway Pundit began working with top election integrity experts in Michigan to review the massive amount of data. A few months ago, Mr. Miller obtained a large portion of FOIA’d materials from Wayne County, where Detroit is located, so his collection of data from the 2020 election in Detroit has now been completed.

Many in Michigan, who have become aware of his massive FOIA haul, are calling it a “miracle.”

The Gateway Pundit, who has broken more stories uncovering evidence of malfeasance, election irregularities, lies from top election officials like MI SOS Jocelyn Benson, and outright voter fraud than any other local, state or national news organizations, would like to personally thank Yehuda Miller for sharing this evidence with us and key election integrity experts in Michigan who are committed to revealing the truth about what really happened in the 2020 election in the City of Detroit.

On the day after the election, The Gateway Pundit reported about a white van that delivered ballots in the early morning hours in the back hallway of the counting center. The Gateway Pundit founder, Jim Hoft, paid to obtain the surveillance footage from the back hallways of the TCF Center, where absentee ballots were being counted in Detroit.

Thanks to a great deal of tedious work, the Gateway Pundit staff was able to prove that a black rental car was used to escort two white vans filled with absentee ballots in the wee hours of the morning on the day after the election. In the video, a gentleman dressed all in black (the uniform of supervisors inside the TCF counting room) can be seen entering the hallway and passing something to the driver of the vehicle through the window before the driver pulls away and the white van enters to begin unloading boxes of ballots. What was the supervisor handing the driver? How did the driver contact the supervisor to let him know they had discreetly entered the back hallway?

Watch the incredible footage here:

Republican poll challengers were locked out of the room after the top election official in the TCF Center told them to take a break while they prepared the “military” ballots. Only a small percentage of the UOCAVA ballots are actually military voters or voters who are family members of the military. 

Democrat poll challengers and their counterparts, which included outside agitators, somehow knew to stay inside the counting room and ordered pizza to be delivered, while Republicans retreated for a short break to a room on another floor. When the Republicans returned to the counting room, they had been locked out.  When Republican poll challengers began to chant “Stop the count!” leftist poll workers and Democrat poll challengers used their pizza boxes to cover the windows.

When Michigan’s top election official, Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, was asked by Detroit’s top radio host, the now-deceased Frank Beckmann, about the pizza boxes that were used to cover the windows and prevent the Republican poll challengers from watching the process, she did what she does best: she lied.

MI SOS Jocelyn Benson is a LIAR.

In 2022, the Gateway Pundit received surveillance footage from almost every absentee ballot drop box in Detroit. What we found was outrageous. Not one charge was filed as a result of our exposing multiple individuals and teams dropping off stacks of ballots while filming themselves. 

After hundreds of hours of poring through the video footage, we were able to share clips of USPS workers violating the US Postal Code by dropping stacks of ballots into the drop boxes instead of delivering them to the addresses on the envelopes, as well as individuals and teams working to drop off massive stacks of ballots while recording their activity with a cell phone. MI SOS Benson called the US Postal workers’ illegal activity “normal and legal” on the “fact-checking” tab of Michigan’s official Secretary of State website. MI AG Dana Nessel never commented on the videos.

The Gateway Pundit summarized our findings from the 2020 Detroit election drop box footage in a thirteen minute video:

On August 8, 2023, the Gateway Pundit broke the story about GBI Strategies/Empower Michigan, a voter registration group that was sending packages to clerks across the state of Michigan from a hotel in Auburn Hills, MI, filled with fake registrations.

The group, which was funded by Joe Biden’s presidential campaign and Democrat Senator Gary Peters (MI), was finally caught one month before the 2020 election when a supervisor working for GBI Strategies dropped off between 8,000 and 10,000 voter registrations, many, if not all of them, were fraudulent. No charges were filed, and after a lengthy two-year investigation by the MI State Police and Muskegon Police Department, the FBI took over the investigation. Several attempts have been made to get more information on the investigation into GBI Strategies, but the FBI refused, claiming it’s an ongoing investigation.

Prior to being named as the Deputy Director of the FBI, the former podcast host, Dan Bongino, suggested our report on GBI Strategies was the best evidence of mass voter fraud in the 2020 election, because we brought the “receipts.”

Is FBI Deputy Director Bongino investigating this Democrat funded group?

And finally, in one of the most underreported stories, Detroit activist Ramon Jackson revealed to MI House Election Integrity Committee Chair Rachelle Smit and her committee how he uncovered what the Gateway Pundit and election integrity experts in Michigan believe is one of the key ways elections are being repeatedly stolen in Detroit.

The group collecting the information from Yehuda Miller is in support of criminal investigations.

Please stay tuned, as the Gateway Pundit will be revealing our exclusive findings in the coming weeks.
