Cool, comfortable, low key, impressive clothes@PublicWrec.com radio public rec I talk to a lot of young people on campuses at our events on my radio show, podcast and social media. Said differently, I visit college campuses so you don't have to. We're talking to so many voters that know it is time for change. They know that something is wrong. America's future is a series of choices. Our current state of slow motion national decline is a choice. Today is our two year old's birthday. And I look at my daughter and that is my why. For those that are parents, you know exactly what I mean. There is no mountain that stands tall as your faithfulness. There is no river that run wide as your goodness. Man, Charlie, I, I remember when we were starting these out and it was that. Like that. No, it was like this. It was like, it was like your average three rows. It was like your average political meeting where there was like 12 in a room. And this is, this is awesome. This, in my personal opinion, was the most over the top Trump event that I've ever covered. This is the number one boots on the ground operation in the country. We're working directly in harmony with the Trump campaign. It's been vetted, it's been cleared, it's been blessed, as you can see there. And we're going to try to win this thing. No guarantees. It's what we do that matters. Mr. President, I can tell you this room is 100% with you and we have your back. God bless you. Thank you. As you know, we are heading on campus here momentarily at the University of South Florida, throwing it down with the students. It's going to be a lot of fun. We are excited to continue this cultural movement that we have started at Turning Point usa. More high school chapters, more college chapters. And disagreement is not just welcome, it is invited. We want to have those tough conversations. That's what it's all about. Because you're not supposed to be involved in this. You're supposed to just kind of be on the vote for me every four years, give me more political power and stay out of my business. And what has happened is we are seeing an explosion in citizen participation. All of my days, your mercy follow me. Oh, there is nothing else I'll ever need. Knock on that extra door, go that extra mile, talk to that extra friend. Because throughout voting month and culminating on the 5th of November, I believe it will go down as a day that people remember, as a day that is written about history books, as the final battle. From the Golden Escalator on down from defeating Hillary Clinton, from the nonsense of 2020, from Buck Butler, Pennsylvania, November 5th. It all culminates where we restore the promise that the founders gave us. And they said, hey, if the people want it the people get it and we the people, take back America. God bless Arizona and thank you so much. Every day, the American people demand certain accomplishments and victories. Disagreement is what keeps a movement alive, keeps a movement fun. Here in this country. We are a country of flourishing. We're a country of risk taking. We're a country of building. We will achieve American greatness. And we are just getting started. All my days, your mercy. Follow me. Welcome to ROE America's Voice and War rooms. Coverage of the commemoration memorial for Charlie Kirk. You're gonna be with us all day until early evening. First is gonna be the religious service and then we're gonna have a remembrance of Charlie Kirk, a celebration of his life. President of the United States will be here, vice president, many members of the cabinet. It's gonna be unique in American history. Never happened before. So I'm outside the stadium right now. We've got Steve Gruber inside. Ben Berkhom is inside right now ready to do interviews. The great David Zier is outside. Right. And we got Terence Bates in Denver. As we logistically get set up as the Secret Service and other security. I've never seen more high security in my life. And definitely we need it. It's going to be an incredible day. I think 300,000 ticket requests at least. It looks like 100,000 people are going to be between here, the stadium and the ice hockey, I think stadium next door. So get ready all day. It's going to be fantastic. Religious service, first, praise and worship. Great music. Charlie Kirk's preacher, his mentor, spiritual mentor. And then later, a memorial for Charlie Kirk, a celebration of his life with Erica Kirk, Vice President Don Jr. Of course, the President of the United States will be giving remarks. So stay with us all day here at Real America's Voice. I'm going to toss now to Terrance Bates. Let's roll, guys. Steve, thanks so much. It is going to be a very full day, but of course we will have coverage all the way through here on Real America's Voice. Hi, everyone. I'm Terrence Bates. Thanks so much for being here with us. Definitely appreciate you joining us for our coverage. Let's set the stage for you really quickly. Here's a live look at State Farm arena where today's memorial is being held. As you can see, lines already forming there. The doors are set to open for the Char Kirk Legacy Remembered event. That's what it's called. That's going to happen in about an hour. The program scheduled to begin about 11 o' clock local time. That's just a few hours from now. Again, we will have live coverage for you leading up to and through today's memorial. As you can see, long lines already in place. You heard Steve say that there have been about 30,000 requests for tickets for today's event. Joining me a little bit later, as you just heard, Steve, of course, will be here. Dr. Gina, David Brody, Ben Berkram, Steve, as well as David Zier. They are all on the ground there and we'll be checking in with them in just a little bit. We are going to check in with David Zier outside the stadium momentarily. But first, just want to kind of share with you that today's speaker's list is truly a who's who of the country. We're talking President Trump. He, of course, is the highlight. Vice President J.D. vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio also On the list, Dr. Ben Carson, Tucker Carlson and Steve Miller also scheduled to speak today. But the most emotional and heart wrenching comments will very likely come from Erica Kirk, who is Charlie's widow. We'll have all of that coming up for you a little bit later. But now let's get you out to State Farm Stadium there in Glendale. That's where David Zier is. He is the host of Breaking Point here on Real America's Voice. David, a good morning to you first and foremost. And I'm just curious, David, what the atmosphere is like there. Obviously, it's going to be a somber day to some extent, being that today is a memorial. But I also suspect that it's going to be somewhat celebratory and thankful in light of what Charlie meant to so many people who've come out to today's ceremony. Good morning, Terrence. It's a beautiful day here in Glendale, Arizona. Temperatures will be approaching 100 degrees today and they have moderate humidity out here. But these people have lined up here. We were on the road at 4, 4am this morning, Terrence. I've never seen a line of traffic like that ever, covering hundreds of events for RAV throughout my life. This is an amazing turnout here. I would venture to say that maybe 150, 200,000 people have converged on the area. The venues behind us, including the Desert diamond arena in addition to the State Farm Stadium here, we're going to have probably about 80, 90,000 just in those venues, 130,000 people expected to be on the ground here. Pretty an amazing site here. I have people who want to come over and talk about their journey here, from Idaho, from California, from Connecticut, from all over the country paying their respects to Charlie Kirk. Yeah. I'd love to hear from some of those people and get a sense again for the atmosphere, for the excitement, or even for the pain that some people may be dealing with on this day. As for many, this is a final goodbye to Charlie. Yeah, there's no doubt about that. One of them standing next to me is Jacob here. You're from the Phoenix area, right? I'm originally from Minnesota, but I've been here for 12 years. Okay. You had a story when you heard about Charlie's death, right? Yeah. So I was at work. I clocked out. I looked on my phone. I'm like, charlie Kirk died. And so I bought some flowers. I went straight down because, like, I knew him personally, because Charlie would come into my work all the time. I work at In N Out, so it was always nice to see him and, you know, not to see him in, like, a political climb, just like, you know, a real climate. So, yeah. Yeah. What was your interactions like with Charlie? So I Met Charlie Kirk 3, 4 years ago @ a Chipotle, of all places, and I asked him, like, oh, are you Charlie Kirk? And he's like, that's what people call me. So. And at the time, like, I didn't know whether or not he was, you know, Christian because he wasn't posting as much. So I shared the gospel with him and, you know, I hope I lit a spark. And so, like, evangelism is, like, really important to me because you don't know how many people you can impact. A couple hundred lives, you're going to impact millions of people. How old are you? 24. Are you active with TPUSA? I. I mean, I watch their stuff. I'm like, I don't volunteer and all, but, you know, you know, I feel like there's going to be real change. What do you think the impact on your generation will be going forward from Charlie Kirk? You know, it's kind of like, you know, I don't know anybody in modern times who had such an outpouring of support. I mean, because, like, you know, with the colleges and university, it's all like, liberal leftist stuff. And like, to see, like, kind of like the counter of that is just really nice to see. And, like, you know, I've listened to so many, you know, people, you know, from like, Rush Limbaugh to Michael Savage to Glenn Beck, to see a guy who's like, my age and, like, so that's great because I was listening to Rush Limbaugh in August of 1988 when he first started. My dad, my dad was a big Rush Limbaugh guy. And so, like, Charlie Kirk said he had Rush on in his house growing up. Yeah. So, like, it'd be Rush Limbaugh in the morning, I'd see Michael Savage in the evening, and then Glenn Beck at night. And so to see Charlie Kirk and, like, know him, like, on a personal level is, like, really, really cool. Wow, that's a great story, Jacob. Well, I want to thank you for joining us here. Real America's Voice news. And it's a long line, so hang in there, right? Amen. God bless you. God bless America. Thank you so much, Jacob. Thank you so much. Terrence, back to you. All right, David, that's such an interesting perspective, and what a blessing that he had an opportunity to meet Charlie personally, even if it was at a Chipotle. But, you know, sharing a good meal with someone can also build quite the relationship. I'm looking there behind you, David. It looks like the line is finally starting to move there. So I'm assuming that they're starting to let people in or at least people are making their way towards. Towards the stadium. It looks like you probably have more guests, so please have at it. Yeah, I do. And I would just add that, you know, the lines here on the freeway at 4am were backed up about three miles deep. But it's organized. There's very heavy security here. It's very organized. The people are moving, you know, in a timely manner. Pretty incredible. Just think about that. They only had two weeks, a week to prepare this. Right. So similar to the venue that we covered at the Kennedy center in Washington, D.C. last Sunday night, you know, 3,000 people gathered. They had 48 hours notice. Everybody's gotten involved. Everybody's pitched in. And there have been vigils all over the country here. Last night, I participated remotely in one in Bartow county in Georgia. 500 people showed up. We got the America first warehouse. There's hundreds of people, you know, watching from there. You know, everywhere in the country, people have come together. I want to bring on another gentleman here from Idaho. What's your name, sir? Adam Johnson. Adam Johnson. Yep. And you're from Idaho, right? Correct. Yeah. For my wife was actually born here, but we. We moved up to Idaho last year, and we're down here to support Charlie. So you were originally from here or California? Arizona. Arizona. And you moved to Idaho, why? Freedom. God. God brought us there ultimately. But, you know, just in the search for freedom and living the life that God has called you to live. Yeah. I saw you had your son Luke really beautiful child. And he. He watches Real America's Voice. I heard he knows everyone. He knows all the personalities, the TV hosts. He wants to go to Am Fest. When he saw the lineup, he's like, he looked like he was six years old. He's eight. Okay, good. He's been watching since he said he was watching Charlie since he was two. Well, that's incredible. And, you know, and. And people can't grow on their own. Right. They need guidance. They need spiritual guidance. They need to know the truth and what's going on. Right. We need to teach them and raise them up, be able to stand, recognize and have a backbone to stand against it. Did you have any interaction with tpusa? What was it about Charlie Kirk and how has his death impacted your family? I think if anything, it galvanizes your faith. You know, it shows you that there's evil in the world and that we need to raise our children up prepared for it. Yeah. My Uber driver this morning was a Muslim from Somalia. Came here in 2002. His father died in the civil war against Al Shabaab and warlord Farada Deed that we were fighting against in 93 and came to the United States loves. The United States, loves Donald Trump and absolutely loved Charlie Kirk. His message superseded boundaries, Right? Right. No, it definitely did. I think it. Again, it's a movement that was captured by Donald Trump where people have. They want to know the truth. They don't want to be lied to. They want honesty, transparency. Yeah. All right, well, I really appreciate your insight, and you got a wonderful family, and I will see you inside. Sounds good. Thanks, David. All right, thank you so much, and God bless you, sir. Back to you in the studio, Terrence. All right, David, thanks so much. We're going to check back with you here in just a little bit. It is going to be a very long day, ladies and gentlemen. So go ahead, grab yourself some popcorn, grab some coffee, whatever, because we're excited to have you along for the ride with us today as we remember and celebrate Charlie Kirk's life. President Trump will be heading to Arizona here in short order. In fact, our Brian Glenn is traveling with the President and offered us this report from Joint Base Andrews. I'm here at Joint Base Andrews awaiting President Trump to arrive so we can jump on Air Force One. Now, let me give you an idea of the size that is traveling from D.C. to Arizona. We've got three full planes filled with Trump administration, Trump cabinet members, and other government officials that want to travel with the president to show their respects for Charlie Kirk. So it's going to be an historical day, an historical travel from D.C. to Phoenix. We'll be on the ground slightly after the program has already started. But for all the coverage today, as you know, Steve, keep it right here on REAL America's Voice. We've got it for you. From the ground here in Joint Base Andrews to there in Phoenix with you back to the studio. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to take a quick break. When we come back, we'll get you back out to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona for the Charlie Kirk Legacy remembered event. We're back in a moment. Foreign Stop settling for weak sound.

It was like, it was like your average three rows. It was like your average political meeting where there was like 12 people in a room. And this is, this is awesome. This, in my personal opinion, was the most over the top Trump event that I've ever covered. This is the number one boots on the ground operation in the country. We're working directly in harmony with the Trump campaign. It's been vetted, it's been cleared, it's been blessed, as you can see there. And we're going to try to win this thing. No guarantees. It's what we do that matters. Mr. President, I can tell you this room is 100% with you and we have your back. God bless you. Thank you. From small town beginnings to national impact, Charlie gave his life to a cause greater than himself, faith, family, and country. His voice inspired a generation. We will achieve American greatness. And we are just getting started. His mission ignited a movement and his legacy will endure. If you thought that my husband's mission was powerful before, you have no idea. Charlie Kirk, a legacy remembered starts right now. Welcome back to this Real America's Voice live coverage of Charlie Kirk's memorial service, which is set to get underway here in just a few hours. In Glendale, Arizona, a packed house is expected at State Farm Stadium. That is a football stadium. And Charlie Kirk in his memorial is expected to pack out that stadium as hundreds of thousands of people are said to be in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Tens of thousands already lined up outside that stadium in anticipation of today's ceremony, which is set to get underway at about 11 o' clock local time. Doors are set to open up here within the next 45 minutes or so, and there's already a crowd outside the stadium. We'll take you there in just a moment. But first, President Trump is on his way to Arizona as we speak. This video from just a little while ago as the President getting off Marine One and heading over to Air Force One to make the flight over to Phoenix, Arizona to Glendale you see Marine One, the salutes there as the commander in chief stepping off of Marine One and heading on over to Air Force One. Our Brian Glenn, RAV's chief White House correspondent, is traveling with the president and just told us that the president is expected to arrive shortly after the program starts. But of course, President Trump is going to be speaking. He is going to be one of many speakers of Vice President JD Vance also speaking in all, Bryan saying that there are three planes that will be going there. Those planes filled with Trump administration officials, both cabinet members, as well as other officials from the administration who are going to be escorting the president for this memorial service today is obviously about remembering Charlie Kirk, but also celebrating what Charlie Kirk means to this country. In fact, the title of today's event is Charlie Kirk Legacy Remembered. And that is exactly what is going to happen today in Glendale, Arizona, as tens of thousands of people are already at State Farm Stadium there in Glendale, remembering Charlie and honoring the legacy he leaves behind. You can see the president now entering Air Force One, headed once again to Glendale, Arizona, where he will be speaking. He will be, of course, probably the most anticipated speaker, along with Erica Kirk, Charlie Kirk's widow, who will also be speaking during today's memorial service. Let's get you back to Glendale. That's where our David Zier is standing by. He has been on the ground all morning long talking with folks and getting a sense of what people are anticipating, what people are hoping to hear, what they're hoping to get, if you will, from today's event. David, good morning again to you. What is your sense? What are, why are from what you're talking to people, why are people there? What is it that they're hoping to glean, that they're hoping to get? What is it just about paying respect or is it simply to be there with others who see the world the same way they do? It's an homage. It's a trek. It's a journey for people coming from all over the world, all over the country here today. We almost had a virtual stampede here a few minutes ago. I'm going to send up some B roll of that. Thousands of people kind of running and charging to get a spot in line. I don't know if that was for State Farm Stadium here or next door to the Desert diamond arena with a 19,000 capacity plus home, I think to the Arizona Cody's. But the turnout here is just enormous. And you know, at the core of Charlie's message is faith, freedom and family, Terrence. And that's why they're here. The good people of America are tired of. Of being told they're the good people. And Charlie Kirk's unbreakable vision of that was something that resonated across all generations. You know, I was talking to my friend Adam Weiss from the network last week, and, you know, he was saying, you know, he was at the TPUSA fundraiser years ago. I think it was 2020 at Mar a Lago. Old people, you know, older generations, you know, donating and supporting Charlie Kirk. And I think Charlie Kirk's death doesn't just resonate with The Kids of TPUSA, the high school chapter, 62,000 new requests for chapters in high schools and colleges, I think, over the last week or so. But it also resonated with the older generation, people who have kids, people who have grandkids, people of faith, even if they didn't have faith. I think they really loved Charlie Kirk's message because they see the dire streets that this country is in. Terrence. David, I think the numbers of people who showed up there today really speak volumes. It's not just the stadium that will be packed out. You said there's another facility, kind of an overflow facility that's also a hockey stadium that also will likely be filled. That speaks, I think, volumes. I think, on top of those two venues, State Farm Stadium, I've read that can hold up to 73,000 people standing room only, maybe more today, the Desert Diamond arena, about 20,000, if you do the math, I bet you there's going to be tens of thousands of people who descended on the area on top of that, who cannot get into the venue. It's. I've never seen people run to an event. I mean, we've covered what, you know, hundreds of Trump rallies. I've covered over 100 of them. I've never seen people charging towards a venue. They, they want to be there. They want to be in the seats. They want to hear this incredible lineup of speakers today. And it's a celebration of life. Right. Like, Awake is for the living, you know, and where do we go from here? No, absolutely. And that's, that's how I'm resigned to dealing with today, is that this is a celebration of life. It's not simply mourning the death, but we're going to celebrate a life that was well lived. Hey, David, before I let you go, it is a who's who list of speakers. Anyone in particular you're looking forward to hearing from? Well, you know, I can't wait to hear what VP Vance and Trump have to say, you know, Rob McCoy will be here this morning. It's just an amazing thing how many the broad spectrum of people both in political and faith communities that Charlie Kirk has touched here. And it'll be a joyous day in some ways, but the world is missing Charlie Kirk this morning. Absolutely. David's here reporting for us on the ground there in Glendale, Arizona. David, always good to see you, my friend, particularly on a Sunday. We'll check in with you here in just a little bit. We're going to take a quick break and then we'll get you back out there to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, as we prepare for doors to open and the services to begin for Charlie Kirk.

The stage is set in Glendale, Arizona for Charlie Kirk's memorial. This is a live look inside of State Farm Stadium, a stadium that is going to be jam packed for people coming to honor Charlie, to remember Charlie and to celebrate Charlie. We of course will have live coverage for you throughout the day here on Real America's Voice. We have a who's who of Real America's Voice, hosts and hosts and celebrities, if you will, who are on the ground there topping things off inside the stadium, our very own Ben Berkram. He is on the floor there just by the stage. Ben, good morning to you. Set the stage for us if you will. What's the atmosphere like? Who all is already there? Just take us through kind of the feeling at this very moment. Well, you heard some of that, you know, from David coming up here. The I've never, I've been to hundreds of events and rallies and I've never seen the amount of people that I've seen here. I mean, outside of Washington, D.C. at President Trump's first inauguration where there was a million people, I don't know what the number is going to be here, but this arena is going to be packed. There's going to be overflow. There was an hour long traffic jam at 5 o' clock in the morning. Just to give you an idea of just how, how many people are trying to come in here. They just opened the doors and the stadium starting to fill up. But it is the highest level security for an event because the number obviously President Trump is going to be here, but you have so many other of the cabinet that are here on site. So it's extremely high security level. But the. You know, it's interesting, the atmosphere and talking to a lot of folks, it's this combination of surreal disbelief, like we're actually having this. I mean, you feel partly like you're just at a Trump rally or, you know, Charlie Kirk's gonna be walking out on stage at any minute, you know, like a Turning Point event. And then you realize, oh, no, this is a memorial. And so this. There's this weird kind of dilemma that people are in where it's celebratory in a sense, that it's maga. It's America. You see what God's doing already with Charlie's life, but then it's also, it's mourning. You think about Erica and the kids and just the reality of the political violence that we face. And so it's. Everyone's kind of in a different place. But there is an extreme sense of patriotism that anyone who loved America loved. Turning Point. We had people on our plane. We flew out from Chicago yesterday. We had people on our plane flying out from Michigan. We have people from all over the country who said, I have to be there at least to pay my respects. I've got a new friend here, actually, from Texas. It's Patrick, right? Yes, sir. So, Patrick, tell me your sense. You're from Texas. What is. Why is this event so important? And what did Charlie and Turning Point mean to you? Absolutely. I think that this event is number one important because not only are we remembering the life of Charlie Kirk, but we're celebrating the life of Charlie Kirk, a man that created a movement that has never been made before. I mean, just like you said, there was a. Our traffic jam at five o' clock in the morning. No one else could have done that. And so I thought that it was important I got the latest flight out of Texas to get here because I wouldn't want to miss this in the world because Charlie Kirk broke up an entire generation of people. If it wasn't for Charlie Kirk, I don't think we would have President Trump in the White House right now in this moment. Charlie Kirk woke up my generation, and we are forever grateful for him for that. And you compare that to, you know, the alternative so that your gener. How old are you, by the way? I'm 20. You're 20. And you compare the direction that half of our country is going, and you compare the response that half of our country had in celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk. Do you. Are you hopeful? This is my big question for especially the young generation. Are you hopeful that Charlie's legacy, that what's happening that the awakening that you're talking about, that we can change the direction of our country. Absolutely. I think Charlie Kirk just planted the seed. Now it's up to us to go out and water that seed and watch that seed grow into fruition. And we can look back 10, 20 years from now and go, look what Charlie Kirk did and look what God did. Amen. What are the for your generation? What are the top issues and what's your prayer for America? I think one of the top issues for my generation is are we going to be able to afford a family, which is one of the things Charlie Kirk really preached. And so I pray that my generation will be able to afford a house, be able to raise a family, get married, have kids, and most importantly, have faith in Jesus Christ. Be the foundation. Amen. Patrick and I don't know if you guys have already prayed. It took us a long time to get through security. But I just want to lift up this event in Jesus name. I want to lift up Patrick and his generation in Jesus name. You have the worship music going on behind us. This is a worship service to the Lord. It's going to be one of the largest worship services in the history of America. And that is Charlie's legacy. Lord, we invite you into this place. We cast out the principalities and powers of darkness that are trying to destroy this generation, that are trying to turn boys into girls and girls into boys that wants to bring evil and darkness. And Lord, we invite your angel armies, your warring angels to come into this place, to have your dominion back in this nation, to shine your light. Lord, may we be vessels of light for this nation. In Jesus name, Terrence. Amen. Thank you so much for that prayer. Appreciate that. Ben, we're going to check back with you here in just a moment, but let's get you back outside of State Farm Stadium. That's where our Ben Berkram is and he's got a special guest with. Not Ben Berkram, I'm sorry. David Zier. David Zier has a special guest with him. David, get up. Good morning to you. Ben is much better looking than me, but thank you, Terry. Terrence, we have with us the mayor of Magaville, Forgiato Blow, coming from across the country. How are you doing? Good. How the Patriots feeling today? Listen, this is a trying time for many, but also a celebration of life, life for Charlie Kirk. Tell us how his death has impacted you and what have you been up to for the last week or so. I mean, I Think we all been grieving, you know, I'm saying, trying to figure out what's true, what's not true. AI is so crazy these days, being on the Internet, but you know what I mean, it was very sad to see that man assassinated in front of his family, that they got to rewatch that forever in front of all the patriots in America. He definitely had the youth on his side, but not time. But the biggest problem I see in everything right now is just the way the media is making this something else. You know, I'm saying they should be celebrating this man's Life. I did. 300,000 people that showed up here today. Yeah, it's a. It's a huge gathering here. Historic. You've never seen anything like it. No, I'm not. I've been to all the Trump rallies. This is amazing. People should get off their butt and come out here and show love and be out here and celebrate. Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk woke up the youth. You know, I'm saying he had his own following. He didn't leech off anybody. I felt. I feel like one thing about him is he gave, I always say, I had anybody of color a chance to get the microphone and talk. Anybody of sexual preference to take the microphone and talk. He literally gave his enemies a microphone and speak to him. Yeah, we were talking about. Because I started interacting with you a few years ago, you know, Wildwood, the Trump rally in the Bronx, right. Where you had 15,000, you know, say Dominicans, black population, Hispanic population, on top of the other people that came. And then Trump going to that bodega in Harlem. Charlie didn't see race. Right. He always said, we share the same DNA. What are your thoughts about that? Well, when you gave me that number of 15,000 people in the Bronx, most people would say, well, that's not a lot of people. You know, you guys only had 15,000. It was a loss, but it was in the Hispanic community. But what I was trying to say of a number like that, you got to look at it. Somebody, Charlie Kirk, would say, man, that's a great start. Right? We got 15,000 people to make it to 30,000 people and then keeping grow. So I think by the numbers of showing how many people come out and show love to maga, how big MAGA had gotten, how big it's grown now, that was a sea change. And Charlie Kirk only added to that for Donald Trump. Tell us about the young vote and the impact that Charlie had for not only the last election, but where does this go from here? Well, look, how Big Turning Point's grown. I remember seeing Charlie Kerr a couple years back, and he was just, you know, could walk by people. People didn't really know who he was. Four or five years ago, we all started getting this movement to the point where he's built something so big. But he really has changed the idea these. The young, the youth. You know, I'm saying he's really got them to understand politics in their own way, but he really pushed religion more than politics. And I'm hearing more people in his passing are coming over who were Democrats, who, you know, because now people are watching the videos. They just heard the hyperbole in the media, right? Oh, Charlie Kirk's a racist. Charlie Kirk is that. But when they started watching his interaction with the people, how do you not change? Right? Well, because he was never disrespectful to anybody. That's one thing I will say. He gave the microphone to his competitors. Most people unplug their microphone from their competitors, right? So he gave them a platform to speak on what they feel, and he debated them real good. I think he won every debate that I'd seen him do. But, you know, a lot of those people left sometimes feeling that they were. Weren't accepted. And by that interaction with him, they thought they could be accepted over here. A lot of people want to be mega. This afraid to make that jump. They're afraid for their people to say, hey, you talk so much crap about them so, so long. And now your mag doesn't make sense. So I think people should start moving their way over here and start building this. We need bigger, you know, bigger Red Sea. Where do people get to on social media? I know you have a new release coming out. Yeah, I got a new song. I Am Charlie is coming out right now, right here, shooting the video. I got music coming out, like, constantly. Donald's nephew, 47 on Instagram for Jota Blow, 47. Trump's nephew on Twitter. So check me out. All right. Always great to see you, man. You're all over the place, so keep it up. All right? I just. Terrence, I just wanted. Midnight Rider, Carly Bonet. The war room crowd loves her, right? How are you doing? Oh, this is crazy. I mean, we walked over, and I was, like, so happy to see your friendly face because the line goes on for days. I don't even think we're gonna get over there, you know, you're from Long island. You came up 3, 2500 miles to be here. Yes, I did. Wow. Wow. No, actually, it was on the orders of the Admiral Bannon. Okay. You have to be there. And I was like, well, here I am. Yeah. What are your thoughts over the last week? I'm still in shock. Yeah. A lot of people are numb. I don't even know if it's numb. It's just shock. Like, I think I cried once, and then I was too busy, you know, trying to get things organized with other people that wanted to come and things like that. And I just haven't had a chance to just sit and contemplate how huge this is. I think it's really going to settle in in the next couple of weeks. Right. There's a void. Right. There's a. There's a void here. Erica Kirk picking up where he left off. All the new chapters being requested. You've never seen anything like that, right? Never seen anything like it. And it's. We're in revival. This is revival. We went through this in the 60s, you know, and then there was. Jesus is coming. Jesus is coming. I'm. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm here. Hello, Lord. I'm here. People love your message on the socials. How many followers do you have now? Well, actually, my ex account is blowing up. I'm almost near 400k, which is unbelievable because I was taken off of X so many times. I lost count of how many accounts I had and was taken. And you're just repeating a message. You're just bringing out what's going on. Right. Doing the same thing I have been doing for the past six years. And I try to make people laugh. I try to make people cry. I just want people to reflect on themselves. Well, your social media accounts are really important for America to follow because I know the war room crowd follows it closely. Tell us about your accounts on the various platforms. Platforms? Well, Telegram is the Midnight Rider and Getter and Truth Social is Carly Bonet. K A R L I B O N N E. And on X is Carluska P. This is when I did the Russian imitated the Russian woman during the whole Russiagate farce. So I sell that one. Alex got back for me, which I was very grateful for. All right, Carly Bonnet, everybody loves you. Thank you. Thank you for coming on. Yeah. And, Terrence, we're going to go back to you. All right, David, we appreciate it. Great interviews there. We're going to check back with you, David, here in just a little bit. We're going to take a quick break, folks, but when we come back, we'll get you back out to Glendale, Arizona State Farm Stadium where we are preparing for Charlie Kirk's memorial service.

You're watching Charlie Kirk A Legacy Remembered. Coverage continues right now live on Real America's Voice, a live look at State Farm Stadium. Tens of thousands, thousands of people will be descending on this stadium to pay their respects to Charlie Kirk. In fact, we're hearing that many of them already starting to file into the stadium and prepare for the ceremony to begin. There's going to be more of a faith ceremony, which will then lead into the actual memorial ceremony a little bit later this morning. Our Ben Berkram is on the ground there, right next to the stage. Let's check in on him now. He has a guest with him. But, Ben, before you get to your guest, just on a personal note, I'm curious how you're doing. I know that you and Charlie were very close. You did a lot of work with him. How are you doing, my brother? You okay? Yeah. No. You know, I just keep saying people ask me that, and I, I, I think I immediately go back to Erica and to people like Andrew and Tyler Boyles and Malia and the, the people that worked with Charlie every single single day, and his team and even our production team in the studio that, you know, worked on his show and Parker and everybody. It's just half the people I see here at this event and all of the people that I've met in Turning Point. It is, you know, like we were talking about it, it's surreal for a lot of people. It still doesn't feel real. But my biggest prayer is still for those kids. You know, as a dad, the thing that hurts me the most is my biggest fear is leaving my wife and my daughters to not be able to protect them and to have to fend for themselves. But thank God there is a team of Americans. There's an army of American patriots who love Charlie, who love Erica, who love the kids. They've got a whole massive family across this country. But you'll never be able to fill that void. And so, you know, but I also think I'm looking at this right now and in, you know, God's timing and everything, what the enemy meant for evil, God is using for good already. And the blessings that are going to come out of this and the legacy that Charlie is going to leave and that Turning point is going to have. The impact it's going to have can't be overstated. This is. And in some sad way, it takes a martyr. The impact of a martyr is much stronger than the impact of somebody who lives to a ripe old age. And so, sadly, what we're going to see is an incredible blessing that comes out of this. But for the people that were closest to him, it's a beautifully tragic day because you're celebrating his life. You know where he's at, but you miss him still. And speaking of one of those people, Malia, you. You actually put together the event or were part of the organizers in D.C. that we were part of, just. I don't even know what day that was last week. It's all kind of blended together now. Now we're here. What is this? What does this day mean to you, your Turning Point alum? What does it mean? I mean, the millions of people, what is. We're talking about Charlie's legacy. What does this mean? I mean, to be able to be here with people that need knew him, people that loved him, and anyone who just admired him. I think it means the world to be able to bring everybody together and to have a little bit of, you know, maybe closure and to be able to celebrate the life and the legacy that he la. That he had and that he's left for us. It encourages. Encourages us all to, I think, take up the torch and keep pushing forward. And I know that at the end of the day, all of these people here are going to leave feeling, of course, we're all heartbroken and we're sad and we're mourning, but we're going to leave feeling inspired and ready to do more work. And one of the big questions that remains is what's next for Turning Point? And in some ways we can't answer that yet. But you look at Erica, you look at the seeds that have been planted. We just had a young guy, Patrick, from Texas, that was just on, and he said, charlie planted the seeds. Now there's 50,000 requests for new chapters or getting involved. What do you think? What. What is next? What do you anticipate? Of course, no one is ever going to be able to replace Charlie, but you're going to have, I think, a coalition of thought leaders and activists and, you know, elected officials coming together to really pick up the torch and carry the movement forward. And like you said, so many seeds have been planted. You've had so many chapter requests, people wanting to get involved, wanting to do more again, just feeling inspired to just take up. Take up the mic and do what we can to carry everything forward. And I think that we're going to see, as you mentioned, you know, someone can only have as much of an impact when. When they're here with us, but once they're gone, it is just exacerbated tenfold. And I think that's what we see here today with an entire stadium, most of whom probably never met Charlie, but they flew in from across the country and and they wanted to be here to. To celebrate his life and to see what's next. Of course, Erica is going to be at the helm, which there was no other choice. She's absolutely the best pick. She was the one that Charlie wanted to do. So I think it was Tyler that had tweeted the other day. You know, Charlie spoke to an entire generation of young men, and it's Erica's turn to speak to entire generation of young women. And hopefully with that and bringing that. Bringing everybody into the fold together will be able to restore a lot of what we've lost over the past few decades. Amen. God bless you. I love that the young men have been reached. The young women are rising up. God bless you. Thank you. Thank you for everything you do. Guys, I'm going to turn the camera over here and pray for everybody at Turning Point. Pray for the entire team. I just want to show you. So we're starting to fill in. I don't know. Graham, are you able to jump in with us? Us? Yeah, absolutely. Okay, if you want to hang here, too. Mal, Malia. So Graham Allen. And stay. Stay right here. So the. The stadium starting to fill in. Terence, you know, this is it. Is it as surreal to you? Like, every morning I wake up and I'm thinking, oh, I'm going to see, you know, this stage. I'm looking at the stage, I'm like, oh, Charlie's going to come out. What. What is this? First off, what did Charlie mean to you? Legacy of Charlie, Turning Point and your mission? Well, there would be no Graham Allen, there'd be no Dear America without Charlie Kirk and Turning Point usa. Me and Charlie have been friends for a very long time. We started the college tours together back in the early days when it was just us sitting on stools at universities. And here's what I want to say about today. Charlie was a legend in life. He is going to change generations in martyrdom. Today is going to be, I believe, the single most largest broadcasted pro Jesus, pro faith, pro God event likely in our modern history. I really believe that God is doing something even through this horrific tragedy. And I believe that Charlie can see this. I believe he's looking down at this, and I believe he's just smiling, knowing that this focus is, yes, is about Charlie, but in the end, it's about Jesus. And I think that he's looking down, smiling on this right now. And I'm going to ask both of you this. First to you, Malia, what is your message to the young women out there who are Wondering what to do. They see what's happening. They want to get involved. They may be afraid. They may not know where to go. They may be lost. What's your message to them? Just, you know, I would refer to Esther in the Bible for such a time as this. I think we were all placed here for a reason. I think Charlie was here for a specific time. He served his purpose. He did it beautifully, wonderfully, courageously. And it's incumbent on us to take up that mantle and to push forward. It might be scary, but. But it's worth it. There's no risk. There's nothing to lose and everything to gain. Of course, you can lose friends, you could lose opportunities, maybe, but I like to refer to that as addition through subtraction. You're going to have many, many more opportunities and better people come into your life standing by the values that you believe in. And if you want to get involved, tpusa.com, sign up for a chapter. Start a chapter. Like we said, there's over thousands of new people signing up. So there's absolutely going to be a place for you to go and to get involved. And it doesn't have to be much. Just go find, get involved in your local church, get involved in your local Turning Point chapter, your local. Any type of group that brings the community together and pushes forward traditional Christian, conservative values. There's a place for you, Graham. One of the things I saw in a over the last several years is men, strong men. There was the feminist movement to demasculate or emasculate men, this idea of toxic masculinity. What would your message be to young men out there? I think the message is to be like Christ, but Charlie set an absolute great example for that. You know, we've seen a radical shift of, specifically men between the ages of 18 to 29, radically shifting to conservative values and radically flocking to the church. And I believe that that doesn't happen without two things, a move of God. And I believe Charlie Kirk played a major role in that. And so, you know, I believe Erica is going to be able to take Turning Point USA to heights that Charlie dreamed about and knew that it could be there. But she's going to be able to also reach the young women as well. And so I agree completely. And so as hard as this day is, it's also a day to rejoice, because this is only just the start of it. And as Charlie would say, real work starts tomorrow. Amen. Amen. God bless you both. God bless the men and the women. God bless your wife and your kids. I don't know. I saw your wife. She's over here. Yeah. God bless you guys. God bless the family's husband. Honor your wives. Wives. Respect your husbands. Raise your children up. To love the Lord, to respect the law, to respect this country. And we save this nation. Amen. All right, Terrence, back to you. We're. It's just the beginning of a somber, sad, celebratory day. It's. It's kind of everything all in one. No, absolutely. My big takeaway from what I just heard there, Ben, though, is the work starts tomorrow. It's not over. It doesn't end with one person. The work continues. The work starts tomorrow. We'll check back with Ben here in just a little bit as we continue our live coverage of Charlie Kirk's memorial there at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. We're going to take a quick break. When we come back, our Steve Bannon getting ready alongside Dr. Gina and David Brody.
