00:00Este es el primer momento que hemos estado en el nuevo y mejor Rose Garden.
00:27Today, we're here to honor and remember a fearless warrior for liberty, a beloved leader who galvanized the next generation like nobody I've ever seen before, and an American patriot of the deepest conviction, the finest quality and the highest caliber, the late, great Charlie Kirk.
00:57As you know, only hours ago, I returned from a very historic trip to secure peace in the Middle East.
01:04People said that couldn't be done. Charlie felt it could be done.
01:07Charlie felt it could be done.
01:10But I raced back halfway around the globe. I was going to call Erica and say, Erica, could you maybe move it to Friday?
01:26And I didn't have the courage to call. But you know why I didn't call? Because I heard today was Charlie's birthday. And I said, you know, now we that was a definite.
01:32And I said, we're going to have to forget about some of those very big, very rich countries that expected me to be there.
01:39And I can tell you, based on the length of that flight, I wouldn't want to go back tomorrow.
01:44But I would not have missed this moment for anything in the world.
01:50President of Argentina, he wanted to be here. That's Argentina is a serious flight, right?
02:01And he's become a superstar and he's doing amazing things.
02:05It's he's a MAGA person, but it's make Argentina great again.
02:10That's what he does. Right? And I want you to stand, please. Javier.

02:16The Presidential Medal of Freedom is awarded to Charles James Kirk. Accepting on behalf of Charlie is his wife, Mrs. Erica Kirk.
02:33Charlie Kirk was one of the most influential American political figures of his generation.
02:39At just 18 years old, he founded Turning Point USA and grew it into the largest conservative youth organization.
02:46in the nation. The United States honors him as a martyr for truth and freedom.
02:53Thank you, Mr. President, for honoring my husband in such a profound and meaningful way.
03:00And thank you for making this event a priority.
03:06Gracias.
03:10Gracias.

03:22amidst защitativa del proceso del Miente.
03:25Gracias.
03:26Una mala encabezada.
03:29Gracias.
03:31But now I can say with confidence, Mr. President, that you have given him the best birthday gift he could ever have.
03:40Thank you.
03:50And to our Turning Point USA staff, I'll share with you that I asked our daughter what she would like to say to Daddy for his birthday.
04:01She said, happy birthday, Daddy.
04:17I want to give you a stuffed animal.
04:29I want you to eat a cupcake with ice cream.
04:31And I want you to go have a birthday surprise.
04:36I love you, is what she said.
04:40And while our son, he's precious, he can't yet speak, in classic Kirk family fashion, his actions spoke louder than his words.
04:50And his gift to you, Charlie and myself, for that matter, was deciding to become the man of the house and be fully potty trained at 16 months.
04:57But Charlie, baby, I know that you're celebrating in heaven today, but gosh, I miss you.
05:05We miss you.
