The memorial for Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, was a very touching event, with many people, including President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Charlie's wife, Erika Kirk, celebrating his life and what he meant to them, the movement, and the country.
"We are all Charlie," Donald Trump, Jr. said, as he called on millions to stand up in Charlie Kirk's place.
The day brought many together — including President Donald Trump and X owner Elon Musk, who had a fractious break-up of their important friendship several months ago over the "One Big Beautiful Bill." Musk then seemed remorseful, but they didn't seem to come together.

But the memorial did it. It appeared to be a warm moment, with Trump clapping Musk on the knee a couple of times and Musk grinning in response.

Kirk had predicted that they would reconcile, because they both wanted the same thing, and he thought both had contributed so much.

"I actually think they are going to reconcile at some point because, deep down, they both want the same thing.....Both of these men deserve great credit for their contributions to help save civilization."

Now, a lip reader has allegedly deciphered what was said during the reunion.
Lip leader Nicola Hickling told the Daily Mail that Trump started the conversation by warmly asking the Tesla billionaire, “How are you doing?” as they sat down next to each other.
“So Elon, I’ve heard you wanted to chat,” Trump then apparently said before adding, “Let’s try and work out how to get back on track.”
When Musk nodded his head, Hickling noted Trump supposedly added: “I’ve missed you.”
That sounds like Trump. It also matches the visual exchange and the clapping on the knee.
They seemed to have such a strong friendship and a genuine affection for each other before the falling out over the bill.
If they can work together, rather than at odds, it will be much better for the country and the party. It can help keep the insanity of the left in greater check, rather than being divisive.
People welcomed the moment, including Republican election activist Scott Presler and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT).
Thank you.
