Overview
- The memorial begins at 11 a.m. local time at State Farm Stadium in Glendale with free, first‑come entry, live TV coverage on Fox and CBS, and streams on Turning Point USA platforms.
- President Donald Trump will deliver remarks alongside Vice President J.D. Vance and Erika Kirk, with appearances expected from Susie Wiles, Marco Rubio, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Stephen Miller, Donald Trump Jr., and Tucker Carlson, plus performances by Christian artists Chris Tomlin, Brandon Lake, Phil Wickham, Kari Jobe, and Cody Carnes.
- Security is led by the U.S. Secret Service under a DHS SEAR‑1 designation, and a joint assessment reported no true and credible threats to the event.
- Glendale police warned of heavy traffic, intersection closures and long waits, urged carpooling, and noted event screening with a zero‑bag policy and free parking.
- Organizers expect a stadium‑scale crowd with overflow viewing at Desert Diamond Arena, and the service follows Kirk’s Sept. 10 shooting during a Utah Valley University event as Erika Kirk steps in as Turning Point USA CEO.
