Watch: President Trump’s White House Releases Heartfelt Tribute Video to Charlie Kirk

The White House released a touching video tribute to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Wednesday at the first stop of his “American Comeback Tour” at Utah Valley University.

President Donald Trump’s White House released the heartfelt collage of 31-year-old Kirk’s life and message on Friday evening before Kirk’s wife Erika was scheduled to make her first public address since her husband was shot and killed in a horrific, public murder. Kirk, a conservative firebrand and devout follower of Jesus Christ, is survived by his wife Erika and his two young children. The suspect in Kirk’s assassination has since been arrested and identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.

“In loving memory of Charlie Kirk, a fearless patriot & man of unwavering faith who dedicated his life to America,” the White House wrote above the video posted to X.

The video includes video footage of Kirk at Turning Point USA events, taking the stage to arenas of thousands of young people, and engaging with students on college campuses. The video also includes a glimpse at his private life, with heart-wrenching photos of his wedding and a snippet of his toddler daughter gleefully flinging herself into her father’s arms.

“Take that risk. Take that leap of faith. Stay involved. Trust God, and act obediently,” Kirk’s voice is heard in the background.

“It’s bigger than you. I want you to remember it is bigger than you. It’s bigger than me. You are here to make somebody else’s life better in the pursuit of liberty and freedom,” he said.

The White House tribute video ends with Charlie Kirk proclaiming that all evidence proves “Jesus Christ was a real person. He lived a perfect life. He was crucified, died, and rose on the third day, and he is Lord and God of all.”

Kirk’s body was transported back to Phoenix, Arizona, on Air Force Two, with Vice President JD Vance leading the military honor guard escorting Kirk’s casket.

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he will honor Kirk posthumously with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He said on Friday that he will attend his funeral.
