To Charlie's parents who lost their beloved son, and to the entire Kirk family, we know that no words can ever be enough to fill the void he leaves behind.

That's a void that just can't be filled.

But I hope the extraordinary outpouring of emotion over these past 11 days has comforted you with the knowledge that your son brought more good and love into this world in his 31 short years.

than most people, even very, very successful people, can bring in a lifetime.

Charlie Kirk loved America with everything he had.

And as we can see so clearly today, America loved Charlie Kirk.

And he could always draw a big crowd.

Look at this today.

Look at what's gone on.

This is a big crowd.

Here today, we have the Vice President of the United States, J.D.

Vance.

We have the Speaker of the U.S.

House of Representatives, Mike Johnson.

We have countless members of the United States Senate.

And I'm sorry I'm not going to introduce you, but I'll be up here.

They're all over the place.

And likewise, the House of Representatives.

They're all over this big stadium.

This is not an arena.
