The event was the first in what was supposed to be a series called \u2018American Comeback Tour.\u2019<br \/>\nKirk, the charismatic 31-year-old founder of the conservative youth activist group, gained recognition for his signature political debates on college campuses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday evening, the second family escorted Kirk\u2019s casket and family from Utah to their home state of Arizona on Air Force Two. A video of the moment showed his wife, Erika Kirk, visibly emotional on the tarmac as the casket passed before her. The couple have two young children.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk\u2019s celebration of life ceremony is scheduled for next Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.\u00a0<br \/>\nPresident Donald Trump said he will attend Kirk\u2019s funeral.\u00a0<br \/>\nOn Friday evening, Kirk\u2019s widow galvanized the TPUSA movement and vowed to carry on her husband\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018To everyone listening tonight across America, the movement my husband built will not die,\u2019 Kirk said. \u2018I refuse to let that happen. No one will ever forget my husband\u2019s name. And I will make sure of it. It will become stronger. Bolder. Louder and greater than ever,\u2019 Kirk said.<br \/>\nShe also said that TPUSA\u2019s annual \u2018AmericaFest\u2019 conference in Phoenix this December will continue as scheduled.<br \/>\nJudah Waxelbaum, a former campus activist at Arizona State University for Republican causes, said that the assassination likely awoke a \u2018sleeping giant\u2019 and will likely see an increase in members.<br \/>\nTurning Point\u2019s not going anywhere. Turning Point, I think, will probably actually get significantly larger in the wake of what happened to Charlie,\u2019 he told Fox News Digital in an interview on Saturday. \u2018You couldn\u2019t do youth politics in Arizona, really anywhere in the United States without coming across Charlie Kirk.<br \/>\n\u2018I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if they\u2019ve woken up a sleeping giant.\u2019<br \/>\nFox News Digital\u2019s Cameron Arcand contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<p>This post appeared first on FOX NEWS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/godzillanewz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/charlie-kirk-reuters-1-800x450.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\">Turning Point USA has seen a massive surge in inquiries for new college chapters as&#8230;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":32094,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[230,1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/investmentbankingrules.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32093"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/investmentbankingrules.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/investmentbankingrules.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/investmentbankingrules.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/investmentbankingrules.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/investmentbankingrules.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32093\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/investmentbankingrules.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/32094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/investmentbankingrules.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/investmentbankingrules.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/investmentbankingrules.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
