00:00Charlie Kirk received Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously on 32nd birthday.
00:05Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk received the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Tuesday.
00:10October 14th was not chosen at random. It coincides with what would have been his 32nd birthday per a Fox News report.
00:17It is the highest civilian honor. Kirk was assassinated September 10th during a TPUSA event at Utah Valley University's campus.
00:24Although he was taken from us far too soon, his legacy will inspire generations to come and outlive us all, Andrew Colvitt, executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, said.
00:34He represents the very best of America and is deserving of this and every other possible accolade.
00:41Thank you to President Trump for quite literally shifting world events to honor Charlie on what would have been his 32nd birthday.
00:48Only Charlie could do that, Colvitt continued.
00:51Since his assassination, Republicans and conservatives promised his legacy would continue, promoting family values, upholding the Constitution, and spreading his Christian faith.
01:02Trump vowed to bestow the medal on Kirk.
01:04Trump called him a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty, and an inspiration to millions and millions of people.
01:11I have no doubt that Charlie's voice and the courage he put into the hearts of countless people, especially young people, will live on, Trump said when he made the announcement.
01:22T-P-U-S-A-C-O-O, Tyler Bowyer said the ceremony will impact youth.
01:27Charlie will be honored today on behalf of the millions of conservative activists he helped lift up to save the movement and the country.
01:33Today in the White House, this award will be felt by every young man and young woman who was impacted by his work.
01:40They can wear it, too, by carrying on doing the work, Bowyer said.
01:44The ceremony was held at 4 p.m. Tuesday.
