Andrew Kolvet, executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, said the memorial for the slain conservative activist drew about 100 million streams. Kolvet shared the figures on X Sunday, shortly after the event concluded.
“Our production and streaming partners tracked over 100 million overall streams for today’s tribute to Charlie. This is JUST what they know about. It’s likely much larger. Over 100 million people just heard the Gospel proclaimed again and again by speaker after speaker. Truly remarkable,” he said.
Some users noted that were likely more viewers due to families watching it together. “It is much larger. Our family visited and we watched it together. Every stream is probably 5-10 people,” said one social media user.
Charlie Kirk, 31, was tragically shot while speaking at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on September 10. He is survived by his wife, Erika, and their two children. A memorial service at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, was attended by tens of thousands of people—a remarkable turnout considering that Kirk’s assassination took place just 11 days earlier.
While delivering remarks, President Donald Trump pledged that Kirk’s organization, Turning Point USA, will “become bigger and better and stronger than ever before.”
The Turning Point apparatus has just orchestrated its largest ever event (which would usually take 9 months of preparation) in seven days.

“Charlie is bigger today than he was. Think about it, just two weeks ago — he’s bigger today than he was two weeks ago. Now that may not help his friends and loved ones, of which there are so many, and may not help Erika and those beautiful children who have to suffer so horribly through this moment. But they know it’s true,” the president said.
“He’s bigger now than ever before, and he’s eternal. He’s eternal. And I just want to say, we love him and he’s looking down at us right now and he’s saying, ‘wow, that’s a great crowd,’” he added. “And it’s a great crowd of patriots. But that’s why I will soon award Charlie the nation’s highest civilian honor: the Presidential Medal of Freedom.”
