PinnedUpdated Sept. 21, 2025, 1:11 p.m. ETThousands of people are packing the stadium for Charlie Kirk’s memorial service near Phoenix, with evangelical songs and worship filling the air before the tribute for the slain conservative activist. President Trump, Vice President JD Vance and a number of conservative figures are expected to be among the speakers at the event to celebrate Mr. Kirk and galvanize a political movement in his name.Before dawn, huge crowds clogged roads as far as a mile away, spilling into neighborhood streets and forcing police cars and ambulances to drive down the wrong sides of streets to get to their assigned locations. Thousands of people were already gathered outside the stadium in Glendale, Ariz., by 5:30 a.m., some of them praying or singing. More than 100,000 mourners from across the country were expected to attend, and an arena next door was set up to accommodate those who could not fit inside the stadium.The memorial for Mr. Kirk, who established the conservative organizing group Turning Point USA, is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. local time. It follows scores of public vigils across the country that have drawn Mr. Kirk’s supporters, as well as scattered protests.Here is what else to know:The attendees: The program is drawing a who’s who of figures from the right, including Trump cabinet members Marco Rubio, the secretary of state; Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary; and Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence. They will be joined by the commentator Tucker Carlson and scores of other elected officials and notable conservatives.The venue: The memorial is being held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., home to the Arizona Cardinals, which can fit more than 70,000 people. But organizers with Turning Point set aside a 19,000-person arena next door, where the Phoenix hockey team once played, for overflow crowds, and said they were also planning a second overflow location.Security: The Homeland Security Department has designated the service as a top-level security event, akin to the Super Bowl or the New York City Marathon. Attendees were being warned to expect long screening lines that they will not be allowed inside with any bags.The assassination: Mr. Kirk, 31, was fatally shot on Sept. 10 as he spoke to students at Utah Valley University. Prosecutors last week filed a murder charge against a 22-year-old man, Tyler Robinson, who officials said had told his romantic partner that he had “had enough” of Mr. Kirk’s “hatred.”Chelsia Rose Marcius and Elizabeth Dias contributed reporting.Sept. 21, 2025, 12:52 p.m. ETCharlotte DulanyGov. Spencer Cox, Republican of Utah, who has offered unifying messages since Charlie Kirk’s killing at Utah Valley University, urged American in an interview to focus on their own actions, not political rhetoric. “I don’t know why we feel like we need to take our cues, that we as Americans have to get up in the morning and decide how we’re gonna react or act based on what the president says, or what the government says, or what anyone else says,” the governor told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “No president is going to lead us out of this. It’s going to be every single one of us.”Sept. 21, 2025, 12:41 p.m. ETJack HealyReporting from Glendale, Ariz.Several boldface names from the conservative political and media world are circulating through the VIP level of the stadium as the upper tiers start to fill up at the memorial service for Charlie Kirk. Kyle Rittenhouse, who was embraced by the right after fatally shooting two people during protests in Wisconsin in 2020, posed for photos. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado made her way up an escalator. The conservative media figure James O’Keefe, who previously led Project Veritas, was chatting and shaking hands.Sept. 21, 2025, 12:04 p.m. ETGov. Josh Shapiro, Democrat of Pennsylvania, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the country must come together to find “our better angels” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s killing. Shapiro, who was targeted in a violent attack earlier this year when his official residence was set on fire while he and his family were inside, said he was still recovering from “emotional scars” left by that episode. But political violence has harms beyond the individuals targeted, Shapiro added, saying that attacks targeting prominent figures like Kirk and himself are intended “to silence others, and we’ve got to fight back against that.”Sept. 21, 2025, 12:00 p.m. ETEvangelical praise and worship is filling the stadium where Charlie Kirk’s memorial service will begin in a couple of hours. Leading Christian music artists, including Kari Jobe Carnes and Phil Wickham are leading thousands in familiar classics they might sing in their home churches, like “How Great Thou Art” and “Oh Praise the Name.” For many, Kirk and Turning Point offered a new kind of worship, blending politics and faith to a united end. Hands are rising high at the chorus, as everyone stands in worship.Credit...Adriana Zehbrauskas for The New York TimesSept. 21, 2025, 11:58 a.m. ETIn his remarks before heading to Arizona, President Trump said that the United States would help defend Poland and the Baltic States if Russia kept escalating tensions, after Russian jets violated Estonian air space on Friday. While Trump previously said an earlier Russian incursion into Poland could have been a “mistake,” he said he was briefed on the Estonian incident and did not like it.In an interview with CBS broadcast on Sunday, President Emmanuel Macron of France said he did not think the incursion into Poland had been a mistake, but part of a pattern of escalation. Macron also said he approved of Trump’s efforts to make peace between Ukraine and Russia, but said additional sanctions should be leveled on Russia to pressure them to make a deal to end the war.Credit...Elizabeth Frantz for The New York TimesSept. 21, 2025, 11:54 a.m. ETSenator Markwayne Mullin, Republican of Oklahoma, dismissed concerns that the indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s late night talk show has dangerous implications for free speech during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” ABC pulled the show from the air after the F.C.C. chairman osharply criticized remarks Kimmel made about Charlie Kirk and President Trump, but Mullin said it was not the result of pressure from the federal government.Mullin said criticism is coming from “the left that’s being extremely hypocritical of themselves,” likening the suspension to the cancellation of Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show in 2023. But outrage has come from both sides: Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, said on Friday that it is “dangerous as hell” for the government to threaten retaliation for speech by political adversaries.Sept. 21, 2025, 11:48 a.m. ETOfficials outside the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., said the venue has reached capacity for the memorial service for Charlie Kirk. Still, thousands of people are waiting in a line that snakes through the parking lot and down North 91st Street for at least a mile. Hundreds of people — some in dresses and heels, others in suits and red ties — walked at least two miles in the heat before even reaching the entrance.Credit...Cheney Orr/ReutersSept. 21, 2025, 11:24 a.m. ETIn a recorded interview with Fox News’s “The Sunday Briefing,” President Trump said that Lachlan Murdoch, who recently secured control of his family’s sprawling media empire, was one of the potential investors who would be part of a consortium of American investors who would take a stake in TikTok to separate the app from ByteDance. Trump said Larry Ellison and Michael Dell are also involved in the group.Sept. 21, 2025, 11:12 a.m. ETJack HealyReporting from Glendale, Ariz.The atmosphere inside the stadium where Charlie Kirk’s memorial service will begin in a few hours feels like a fusion of a megachurch service and a Trump rally. A Christian band is playing devotional rock and thousands of people who began lining up before dawn are now filtering into the stadium, many of them wearing red Trump baseball caps. Several also have hats that bear Kirk’s initials, or say Make America Charlie Kirk.Credit...Ash Ponders for The New York TimesSept. 21, 2025, 11:10 a.m. ETRep. Jasmine Crockett, Democrat of Texas, defended her vote against a House resolution honoring Charlie Kirk on Friday, telling CNN’s Dana Bash that she believed Kirk’s rhetoric “specifically targeted people of color.” In a podcast this summer, Kirk had accused Crockett and other Democrats of pursuing the “great replacement of white people.”“Yeah, I’m not honoring that kind of stuff,” Crockett said. She added that “it honestly hurts” that more of her colleagues didn’t join her in voting against the resolution and “could not see the amount of harm that this man was attempting to inflict.”Sept. 21, 2025, 11:06 a.m. ETA day after he demanded that Attorney General Pam Bondi move quickly to prosecute individuals that he views as his political opponents, President Trump said Bondi was doing “a great job.” The president — who wrote on Saturday night that “JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!” — said that he had not threatened the leadership of the Justice Department if they did not prosecute Letitia James, the New York attorney general, but he said he had “read the facts” and it “looks like she’s very guilty.”Sept. 21, 2025, 11:00 a.m. ETPresident Trump, speaking to reporters, appeared to disagree with new restrictions the Department of Defense is seeking to impose on journalists. Asked if the Pentagon should be part of deciding what the news media can report on, the president said: “No, I don’t think so. Nothing stops reporters.”Sept. 21, 2025, 10:47 a.m. ETAs President Trump departed the White House to travel to Arizona for Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, he said he was looking forward “to celebrate the life of a great man,” adding that it will be “a very tough day.” He said he would give Kirk’s widow, Erika, his love and talk about Kirk’s legacy and his influence with young people.Sept. 21, 2025, 10:26 a.m. ETPresident Trump boarded Air Force One to attend Charlie Kirk’s memorial service.

Police cars and ambulances were crossing medians and driving on the wrong side of the road to bypass the gridlock. Some in the crowd outside the stadium are praying aloud, or singing hymns and devotional songs.Sept. 21, 2025, 9:35 a.m. ETWorkers installed a banner at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., ahead of a memorial service to be held for Charlie Kirk on Sunday.Credit...Cheney Orr/ReutersAn anticipated crowd of perhaps more than 100,000 people, including President Trump and several cabinet members, has made security a major focus in the planning for Charlie Kirk’s memorial on Sunday.The service in Glendale, Ariz., will be held at State Farm Stadium, home of the N.F.L.’s Arizona Cardinals, which can hold up to 73,000 people. A nearby hockey arena that holds about 19,000 people will serve as an overflow area if needed.The Department of Homeland Security designated the service as a top-level security event, akin to the Super Bowl or New York City Marathon.Jose Miguel Santiago, a spokesman for the police department in Glendale, said that setting up security measures for the event was an “all hands on deck” operation, similar to how agencies prepared for Super Bowl LVII that was held at the stadium in 2023.But a major difference between that event and the memorial on Sunday is that the police had years to prepare for the Super Bowl and just about a week to form a plan for Mr. Kirk’s service. Still, Mr. Santiago was confident that officials with his department — as well as the many federal and local agencies they are collaborating with — would be ready.Hundreds of police officers will be circling the stadium, Mr. Santiago said, in addition to drones in the air and metal detectors on the ground. He said the police department had access to more than 300 security cameras in locations around the stadium.“Every kind of security measure you can possibly think of will be in place,” he said.Mr. Santiago said that Turning Point USA, the organization Mr. Kirk founded that organized the service, reported that more than 200,000 people had registered to attend the event.Turning Point has told people to expect “T.S.A.-level screening,” referring to the airport security agency, and has warned of long wait times. The group has also said that no bags will be allowed inside the stadium, even if they are clear.Security concerns were heightened after law enforcement officials investigated a number of potential threats connected to Mr. Kirk or the service. There was also confusion this weekend after the authorities arrested an armed man who had entered the stadium on Friday. But Turning Point USA later said the man had been doing advance security work for one of the guests who was planning to attend the service.Sept. 21, 2025, 9:28 a.m. ETAsh PondersSpectators are streaming towards State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., ahead of the memorial for Charlie Kirk, hours before the service is expected to start.VideoSept. 21, 2025, 5:02 a.m. ETThe crowd on Sunday morning outside State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.Credit...Ash Ponders for The New York TimesMore than 100,000 mourners from across the country, including President Trump and Vice President JD Vance, are expected to pack an N.F.L. stadium just outside Phoenix and an overflow arena next door on Sunday afternoon for a heavily secured memorial service for the conservative activist Charlie Kirk.Though the service was not scheduled to begin until 11 a.m. Pacific time, rivers of people were already streaming toward the site in Glendale, Ariz, before dawn on Sunday, clogging roads a mile away and spilling into parking lots and neighborhood streets. Police cars and ambulances on their way to assigned locations for the event were crossing medians and driving on the wrong side of the road to bypass the gridlock.By 5:30 a.m., thousands of people were gathered outside the stadium, some of them praying or singing hymns and devotional songs.The memorial to celebrate Mr. Kirk and galvanize a political movement in his name is the culmination of scores of recent public vigils across the country that have drawn thousands of Mr. Kirk’s supporters, as well as scattered protests.But nothing so far has approached the scale of what the police and organizers are expecting in Arizona, where Mr. Kirk lived with his wife and two young children, and where his conservative organizing group, Turning Point USA, is based. The speakers list includes not just the president and vice president but also the highest-profile members of Mr. Trump’s cabinet and White House staff, along with a who’s who of the Make America Great Again pantheon.So many supporters and high-profile guests are planning to attend Mr. Kirk’s memorial that the Department of Homeland Security designated the service as a top-level security event, akin to the Super Bowl or New York Marathon.A memorial for Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University in Orem earlier this month.Credit...Loren Elliott for The New York TimesSecurity concerns were heightened after law enforcement officials investigated a number of potential threats connected to Mr. Kirk or the service.

Also in attendance will be Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence.They will be joined by Stephen Miller, a White House aide who has vowed to avenge Mr. Kirk’s death with a broad crackdown on liberal dissent, Tucker Carlson, the commentator and Trump ally who has questioned that crackdown, and Donald Trump Jr., the president’s son who brought Mr. Kirk into the family’s fold.Scores of other elected officials, prominent conservatives and Christian musicians are also attending.The memorial is being held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, home to the Arizona Cardinals, which can fit more than 70,000 people. Organizers with Turning Point were expecting such a crush that they set aside a 19,000-person arena next door, where the Phoenix hockey team once played, for overflow crowds, and said they were also planning a second overflow location.Dozens of state and federal law enforcement officers will be providing security in Glendale, and neighboring police departments have been put on alert. Attendees were warned to expect long screening lines and jammed parking lots, have been told that they will not be allowed inside with any bags, not even clear plastic ones designed for concerts with tight security rules.“It’s all hands on deck,” said Jose Santiago, a spokesman for the Glendale Police Department, which is handling security outside the stadium. “Anyone who is available to work is working.”Security was not nearly so strict at the Utah college event where Mr. Kirk was fatally shot on Sept. 10, touching off a frantic manhunt for the gunman and angry political recriminations.As Mr. Kirk arrived at Utah Valley University, a gunman was able to walk onto campus with a high-powered rifle hidden in his clothing, climb to a rooftop overlooking the outdoor courtyard where Mr. Kirk spoke and then slip away in the chaos after shooting him. Mr. Kirk was 31.Chelsia Rose Marcius contributed reporting.Sept. 20, 2025, 6:06 p.m. ETTom Homan at the White House last week.Credit...Doug Mills/The New York TimesTom Homan, who was later named President Trump’s border czar, was recorded in September 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover F.B.I. investigation, according to people familiar with the case, which was later shut down by Trump administration officials.The cash payment, which was made inside a bag from the food chain Cava, grew out of a long-running counterintelligence investigation that had not been targeting Mr. Homan, according to the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the case.Mr. Homan’s encounter with the undercover agents, recorded on audiotape, led him to be investigated for potential bribery and other crimes, after he apparently took the money and agreed to help the agents — who were posing as businessmen — secure future government contracts related to border security, the people said.After Mr. Trump took office this year, Justice Department officials shut down the case because of doubts about whether prosecutors could prove to a jury that Mr. Homan had agreed to do any specific acts in exchange for the money, and because he had not held an official government position at the time of the meeting with undercover agents, the people added.One person familiar with the case said the evidence gathered had not met all the necessary elements of relevant federal crimes, while another contended that the case was effectively ended prematurely, before such additional evidence could be gathered.Justice Department officials ultimately decided that the evidence against Mr. Homan was insufficient to support charges of wire fraud, bribery or conspiracy, the people said. Emil Bove III, a former senior Justice Department official and onetime personal attorney for Mr. Trump who is now a federal appeals court judge, expressed skepticism about the case as early as February, one person said. The existence of the investigation was reported earlier by MSNBC.It remains unclear whether the investigation into Mr. Homan would have been dropped regardless of which party controlled the White House, given recent Supreme Court rulings that delineated a high bar for what constitutes a bribe or other corrupt act. But the revelation about the inquiry and the decision to shut it down comes amid broader fights over the degree of control Mr. Trump holds over how the Justice Department handles criminal cases, particularly those related to his perceived enemies.The episode raises questions about whether the administration has sought to shield one of its own officials from legal consequences, and whether Mr. Homan’s actions were considered by the White House when he was appointed to his government role.Kash Patel, the F.B.I. director, and Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, said in a statement on Saturday that the investigation “was subjected to a full review by F.B.I. agents and Justice Department prosecutors. They found no credible evidence of any criminal wrongdoing.”They added that the Justice Department “must remain focused on real threats to the American people, not baseless investigations. As a result, the investigation has been closed.”Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, called the Homan case a “blatantly political investigation,” and said it showed the Biden administration “was using its resources to target President Trump’s allies rather than investigate real criminals and the millions of illegal aliens who flooded our country.”Ms. Jackson added that Mr. Homan “has not been involved with any contract award decisions,” calling him “a lifelong public servant who is doing a phenomenal job on behalf of President Trump and the country.”Mr. Homan did not respond to requests for comment. He told The New York Times earlier this year that he would not get involved with specific contract decisions.In the first Trump administration, Mr. Homan served as the acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. After leaving government, he emerged as a vocal critic of the Biden administration’s policies, in his role as a paid contributor on Fox News. He founded an organization called the Border911 Foundation, whose mission was “to educate Americans on what it means to have a secure, well-managed border — and why it matters.”He also opened a consulting business that has worked for companies seeking immigration-related contracts, including those poised to benefit from Mr. Trump’s policies, The Times reported in January. At one point, he was paid between $100,000 and $150,000 to lobby in Texas for Fisher Industries, a construction firm that last year secured a $225 million contract with the state to build a section of border wall.Mr. Homan made it clear that he planned to rejoin Mr. Trump in government if he were re-elected. “I promised President Trump when he announced that if he goes back, I go back,” he wrote on social media in November 2023. “And I’m going to run the biggest deportation operation this country’s ever seen.”He was drawn into the F.B.I. case after a target of the investigation suggested in 2023, on his own initiative, that a $1 million payment to Mr. Homan could lead to lucrative federal contracts for border security work, according to people familiar with the matter.Undercover agents posing as businessmen seeking contracts met with Mr. Homan in September 2024, these people said.On the tape of that meeting, Mr. Homan seemed to agree to help the undercover agents secure contracts from the next administration if Mr. Trump won re-election, the people said.The investigation, which was originally run out of Texas, became more consequential once Mr. Trump won and the chances of Mr. Homan taking a government role increased.On Nov. 10, Mr. Trump announced that Mr. Homan would be his administration’s border czar and have wide authority over deportations.Later that month, prosecutors with the Justice Department’s public integrity division were asked to help with the investigation.During the transition, law enforcement officials notified the incoming administration about the case as Mr. Trump’s team considered whom to appoint to to government positions, the people familiar with the case said.Sept. 20, 2025, 1:18 p.m. ETRepresentative Hakeem Jeffries and Senator Chuck Schumer, both of New York, on Capitol Hill this month. Credit...Tierney L. Cross/The New York TimesThe two top Democrats in Congress on Saturday demanded a meeting with President Trump ahead of the Sept. 30 deadline to fund the government, warning him that Republicans would be blamed for a painful shutdown if he refused to negotiate with them.“It is now your obligation to meet with us directly to reach an agreement to keep the government open and address the Republican health care crisis,” Senator Chuck Schumer of New York and Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the two minority leaders, wrote in a joint letter to the president. “We do not understand why you prefer to shut down the government rather than protect the health care and quality of life of the American people.”They added: “At your direction, Republican congressional leaders have repeatedly and publicly refused to engage in bipartisan negotiations to keep the government open.”The letter was sent a day after Senate Democrats blocked the Republican plan to keep federal funding flowing past the Sept. 30 deadline, demanding concessions on health care and other issues in exchange for their support for a short-term spending bill that would keep the government open.Republicans, in turn, blocked a Democratic proposal that would extend funding through Oct. 31 and add more than $1 trillion to extend Obamacare subsidies that are set to expire at the end of the year and roll back Medicaid and other health program cuts.Mr. Trump has not met with the Democratic leaders at the White House all year, and it was not clear he had any appetite to do so in this case.Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Friday, Mr. Trump appeared resigned to a shutdown. “We’ll continue to talk to the Democrats, but I think you could very well end up with a closed country for a period of time,” Mr. Trump said. “I don’t know if you can make a deal with these people. I think these people are crazy.”Senate Democrats have also signaled that there may, in fact, be a shutdown this time around. Unlike in March, when Mr. Schumer and some members of his caucus provided the votes to avert a government shutdown and paid a political price for it, they appear more willing to stand up to Mr. Trump this time.The last time the president met with congressional leaders ahead of a potential government shutdown, in 2018, what was supposed to be a private negotiating session turned into a televised shouting match. That December, Mr. Trump argued back and forth with Mr. Schumer and Representative Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, who served as her party’s leader in the House at the time.“I’ll tell you what: I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck,” Mr. Trump said in 2018. He was vowing to force a year-end government shutdown if Democrats refused to fund a wall between the United States and Mexico, his signature campaign promise. “I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down — I’m not going to blame you for it.”The impasse back then resulted in a government shutdown that lasted almost a month, the longest in history.Sept. 20, 2025, 5:02 a.m. ETA sign displaying a tribute to Charlie Kirk outside of Orem, Utah.Credit...Loren Elliott for The New York TimesThe public memorial for Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist and close ally of President Trump who was assassinated last week, will take place in Arizona on Sunday morning.The service comes amid a public outpouring of grief, as well as aggressive moves from conservatives who have vowed to crack down on liberal groups and people who engage in what they see as hateful commentary. Among those conservatives are top officials in the Trump administration, many of whom plan to speak at Mr. Kirk’s memorial.Here’s what you need to know about the event:Where and when will it take place?The program will be held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., a suburb of Phoenix, where Mr. Kirk’s conservative advocacy organization, Turning Point USA, is based. Mr. Kirk also lived in Scottsdale, another Phoenix suburb, with his family for several years.Admission to the service, which is free, will be on a “first-come, first-served” basis, according to a webpage posted by Turning Point, which is hosting the event. The organization is inviting prospective attendees to register for tickets online in advance.State Farm Stadium — home of the N.F.L.’s Arizona Cardinals — has a fixed capacity of at least 63,000 people, though that can be expanded to over 73,000 for larger events, according to the venue’s website. If attendance exceeds the stadium’s capacity, the neighboring Desert Diamond Arena, which can hold 19,000 people for concert events, will host overflow seating. According to Turning Point’s webpage, doors for the event will open at 8 a.m. local time, and the program will begin at 11 a.m.Who will speak?President Trump and several top administration officials are expected to speak, a testament to Mr. Kirk’s vast influence in conservative politics and deep connections to the Trump White House.That includes Vice President JD Vance, who considered himself Mr. Kirk’s friend and whose political ascendancy Mr. Kirk championed.Cabinet members who will speak include Marco Rubio, secretary of state; Pete Hegseth, secretary of defense; Tulsi Gabbard, director of national intelligence; Susie Wiles, White House chief of staff; and Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff and the architect of Mr. Trump’s domestic policy agenda.Mr. Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, who has taken over the leadership of Turning Point USA following Mr. Kirk’s assassination, will speak as well.Tucker Carlson, the conservative media personality and former Fox News host, and Donald Trump Jr. will deliver remarks, too.Scores of other elected officials and prominent conservatives will be attending.The service will also feature several Christian music artists, including Chris Tomlin and Brandon Lake, according to the Turning Point webpage.What do attendees need to know?Turning Point has told attendees to expect tight security, which may extend wait times to get into the stadium.The Department of Homeland Security designated the service as a top-level security event, similar to the Super Bowl or New York Marathon.The organization said it will not admit anyone bringing a bag. It posted an additional list of banned items — including strollers, signs and “weapons of any kind” — on its webpage for the service.Parking is free, according to the webpage, but Turning Point is advising attendees to arrive early.The organization is also requesting those in attendance to dress in their “Sunday Best,” and wear red, white or blue.How can others watch?According to Turning Point, the event will be live-streamed on Mr. Kirk’s Rumble account.
