Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot on September 10 while addressing a crowd at Utah Valley University during his “American Comeback” tour. Following the attack, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was arrested and is being held in Utah County Jail, where prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty.

Kirk’s memorial is now taking place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, with speeches from President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Erika Kirk, and is being live-streamed globally on Rumble. The event description reads: “Join Turning Point USA for a special memorial event, remembering our Founder and CEO, Charlie Kirk. Hear from President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Erika Kirk and more.”

Viewers noticed a striking detail: the central podium is enclosed in bulletproof glass. On X, one user wrote: “The podium at Charlie Kirk’s funeral is enclosed in bulletproof glass, something rarely seen at an indoor event.” Another added: “The podium is thankfully enclosed by bullet proof glass for Charlie Kirk’s celebration of life. What have we become?”

Erika Kirk addressed her husband’s death, saying: “In a world filled with chaos, doubt and uncertainty, my husband’s voice will remain and it will ring out louder and more clearly than ever.”

The memorial also drew attention as Trump and Elon Musk were seen together, prompting reactions like: “I hope that they can reconcile privately as Charlie Kirk wished!”
