It was an honor to be there. I got to sit in the vice president's box, which was Truly a privilege. And I got to watch one of the great speeches I've ever seen from Charlie's wife, Erica, in person. So we'll get to all of that first. Tonight's TP USA, American Comeback to a Returned, with its first stop since the murder of Charlie Kirk less than two weeks ago. Michael Knowles will host live from Minneapolis streaming on Daily Wire Plus. What began as a conversation between Michael and Charlie is now special tribute to Charlie and an open forum for QA. If there are any doubts about Charlie's legacy being carried on by Everybody. Yesterday's memorial service gave the answer. Tonight, we are all making it clear.

The enemies of civilization will not succeed at killing Charlie's mission. They won't even succeed at killing his tour. The left wants to silence so many of us. We're not going to give them that satisfaction. Charlie wouldn't. TP USA will not. Watch every minute live from Minneapolis starting 7 15 p.m. Eastern on Daily Wire Plus.

What happened at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service and who attended?

Ben Shapiro 1:22
Well, yesterday I had the privilege and the honor of attending the memorial for Charlie Kirk that was held in Arizona. It was an overwhelming event. I mean truly an unbelievable event. The stadium At which it was held was packed some 65,000 people. There's an overflow arena with another 20,000 people. That was packed. There were people who were out in the streets. At least a hundred thousand people showed up to pay tribute to Charlie's memory and what he meant to American conservatives, to Christians. It was it was essentially a worship service. I mean it was an enormous amount of outreach to non-Christians, telling them that they ought to embrace the faith. And frankly, as I've been calling for for a long time, there ought to be a religious revival in this country, and that is a very, very good thing.
Ben Shapiro 2:03
The the fact that there was so much focus on Christianity, which of course is something that Charlie lived for and something that he wanted to leave as his legacy. That is a good thing for the country. We are starting to see an uptick in young people who are going to church. And that was happening before Charlie's death, partially as a result of the stuff that Charlie was doing out there in the world, but partially because there's an emptiness that is set in at the heart of a West that has forgotten about her relationship with God. And if Charlie's death can be a turning point back toward faith for a lot of young people, that obviously would be an amazing thing. Velvet, who is Charlie's executive producer, he said that there were over 100 million streams for today's tribute to Charlie.
Ben Shapiro 2:44
That's what they know about. He said over a hundred million people just heard the gospel proclaimed again and again by speaker after speaker. Truly remarkable. Again, I don't think that you have to be a Christian, I'm obviously not, to believe. That an America that is more deeply ensconced in faith and deeply rooted in faith is a better America. An America where more people go to church is going to be a stronger America. An America where people believe in biblical values will be a better and stronger America. It was a very moving event, and I had the honor and privilege of sitting in the vice president's box, and so I got to see his reactions, the reactions of the members of the administration up close.
