Rebel News reporters Sydney Fizzard and Angelica Toy covered Charlie Kirk's Phoenix memorial at the 70,000-capacity State Farm Stadium, expecting 100,000 attendees. 

Security was heightened due to threats, including a potential bomb near TPUSA headquarters and an alleged attempt to bring weapons into the facility. 

Kirk's politically motivated assassination, a shocking act condemned by most people, has led to a clear societal divide: those mourning and those celebrating. Kirk is credited by many, including a supporter he met, with inspiring young Americans to vote for President Trump, who recently announced his intent to designate Antifa as a terror group.

Attendees believe Kirk's mission was to declare truth, inspiring them to be bolder in their faith and challenge liberal media. 

“I think he encouraged me to be in God's word more, to be more bold in my faith, to challenge different beliefs and opinions and not [to] fall prey to the liberal media,” said one attendee.

This event marks a turning point, seen as the most significant political event since 9/11 and the most significant assassination in decades.

Attendees feel Conservatives now believe their safety is at risk from fellow Americans, transcending mere debate. They assert that grace cannot be afforded anymore, and they must maintain their defenses. 

Following Kirk's wife's appointment as Turning Point USA CEO, the movement shows clear unity, evidenced by a surge in chapter applications.
