WATCH: Charlie Kirk Posthumously Honored as “A MARTYR FOR TRUTH AND FREEDOM” During White House Ceremony | The Gateway Pundit
President Trump on Tuesday hosted an incredible ceremony at the White House with members of his administration, members of Congress, and friends of the late Charlie Kirk to posthumously honor him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian honor.
The ceremony on October 14 was held on the same day that the slain Turning Point USA founder and conservative champion would have turned 32 years old.
President Trump also signed a proclamation, designating October 14, 2025, as a “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.”
“Today, our Nation honors the immortal memory of Charlie — a father, a husband, a Christian martyr, and a titan of the American conservative movement. We honor his life, we send our condolences to his beautiful family, and we pledge to advance the values for which he laid down his life,” the proclamation recognizing and paying homage to Kirk’s life and legacy states.
“We call on every American to pray for peace in our public square. Above all, we renew our resolve to always defend our principles of truth, faith, and the open exchange of ideas.”
Kirk, a 31-year-old husband, father, and leader in the conservative movement, was gunned down on September 10, 2025, while hosting a campus speaking tour event at Utah Valley University.
President Trump delivered remarks at the event before a military aide read the citation for Kirk’s Medal of Freedom, where he was recognized as “one of the most influential American political figures of his generation” and “one of the great debaters and communicators of his time.”
“The United States honors him of a martyr for truth and freedom,” the citation read.
Charlie’s wife, Erika Kirk, received the medal on Charlie’s behalf. She then addressed the crowd for approximately 16 minutes.
Trump described the forces that led to Kirk’s early passing as “demonic” and said the Democrats embody “the devil’s ideology.”
To conclude his roughly 30-minute-long speech, the President remembered the “unstoppable” and “indomitable” Charlie Kirk, who was “one of a kind,” he said.
“Nobody could replace him,” Trump said of Charlie Kirk. “You can’t replace that kind of person and that kind of talent, frankly.”
WATCH:
Trump: One month after Charlie’s death, we still feel the terrible shock and the pain of his loss like just about nobody I can think of. Charlie Kirk was one of a kind. He was unstoppable. And he really was. Boy, when he had an idea in his head, oh, he would call me: “Sir, please. You haven’t done it yet!” I said, “Charlie, relax. Just relax.” He didn’t relax. He’d call me the next day again. He got it done, but he was like, indomitable, and always will be. He’s really irreplaceable. Nobody could replace him, but they’re going to do great, but you can’t replace that kind of person and that kind of talent, frankly. The word talent is an important word, but that kind of talent, so we hold his memory in our hearts forever. Every single day of this administration, we will continue to carry out the mission for which he lived, and he really did. He lived for this country. He lived for his wife and his family, but he lived for this country too. In Charlie’s honor, we will continue, like we have been, to fight, fight, fight, and to win, win, win. We’re going to win so much.
So, the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a big deal. You have the Congressional Medal of Honor, military, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is civilian, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a really big deal. Very few people get it. Very few people, frankly, qualify. It’s a decision of the President, but it’s a qualification that’s a very hard one to get. And I would like to ask if I might the military aide to read Charles James Kirk’s citation for the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Thank you very much. Thank you.
Military Aide: The Presidential Medal of Freedom is awarded to Charles James Kirk. Accepting on behalf of Charlie is his wife, Mrs. Erika Kirk. Charlie Kirk was one of the most influential American political figures of his generation. At just 18 years old, he founded Turning Point USA and grew it into the largest conservative youth organization in the nation. For over a decade, he tirelessly traveled the country, leading a movement to restore respect for our founding principles, reawaken our national identity, and inspire a renewed spirit of religious devotion. He was one of the great debaters and communicators of his time. Despite receiving repeated threats, he remained undeterred. And modeled courage, logic, humor, and grace to the next generation. On September 10, 2025, at age 31, Charlie Kirk was assassinated while addressing a group of students. The United States honors him of a martyr for truth and freedom.
BREAKING LEAK: Deep State Prosecutors Attack DOJ’s Investigation Into Whether Biden’s FBI Secretly Destroyed Classified Documents in “Burn Bags” to Protect Comey | The Gateway Pundit
Deep State ‘career’ prosecutors in the Western District of Virginia are attacking the DOJ’s investigation into whether Biden’s FBI secretly destroyed classified documents in ‘burn bags’ to protect James Comey with leaks to the New York Times.
As previously reported, the DOJ is investigating whether the FBI, during Joe Biden’s presidency, secretly destroyed documents to protect James Comey and John Brennan.
James Comey served as the Director of the FBI from 2013 to May 2017, when Trump fired him.
John Brennan served as the Director of the CIA from 2013 to 2017.
According to The Times, the investigation is related to a report that revealed that Kash Patel found thousands of Russia Hoax documents in “burn bags” in a secret room at the FBI.
Over the summer, Fox News reported that FBI Director Kash Patel found thousands of Russia collusion hoax documents in “burn bags” in a secret room at the FBI.
One of the documents in the burn bags included the classified annex to the John Durham report that includes the underlying intelligence he investigated.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently declassified the annex to Durham’s final report and sent it to Senator Grassley, who released it to the public.
Fox News also reported that Kash Patel and his team of investigators discovered a “previously undisclosed” SCIF at the FBI headquarters.
The Times reported that senior FBI officials who worked at the headquarters are also being investigated.
In August, Trump-appointed Interim US Attorney Todd Gilbert, who was overseeing the ‘burn bags’ case in the Western District of Virginia, was forced out after he reportedly refused to remove a high-ranking prosecutor who claimed the evidence in the case was flimsy, according to The Times.
Todd Gilbert
A new US Attorney appointed by Trump has now taken over the case. Now, the career prosecutors in the Western District of Virginia are leaking to the media to damage the investigation.
In a new leak to the New York Times, career prosecutors do not believe criminal charges are warranted in the DOJ’s investigation into the burn bags.
“Career prosecutors at the Justice Department do not believe criminal charges are warranted from an investigation seeking to discredit an earlier FBI inquiry into Russia’s attempt to tilt the 2016 election in President Trump’s favor, according to people familiar with the matter, The New York Times reported.
An anonymous leaker also attacked Kash Patel.
“One witness approached earlier this year was told the investigation was being conducted at the specific direction of FBI director Kash Patel,” The New York Times reported.
Prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia also leaked to the media ahead of Comey’s indictment.
NEW and BREAKING: Career prosecutors do not believe criminal charges are warranted in another potential prosecution being pushed by top Trump officials related to the FBI/2016 Russia investigation. One witness approached earlier this year was told the investigation was being…

Bill O’Reilly Explains How Trump’s Popularity in the Arab World Could Force China to Fall in Line Next | The Gateway Pundit
Bill O’Reilly said Monday night that President Donald Trump’s growing influence in the Middle East could soon give him leverage over China.
He said that could potentially force Chinese President Xi Jinping to “get on board” with a new global order with the U.S. squarely on top.
The former Fox News host made the comments Monday on NewsNation with network host Leland Vittert following Trump’s trip to the Middle East, where he helped finalize a long-awaited Gaza cease-fire agreement and met global leaders in Egypt.

“Donald Trump’s power worldwide has just increased about 1,000 percent,” O’Reilly said. “But he’s going to Korea to talk to Xi.”
O’Reilly said Trump’s popularity among Arab nations has reshaped the global balance of power.
“Xi and the Chinese know that he has the Arab world and the Middle East on his side,” O’Reilly told Vittert.
This is FAR bigger than anyone realizes.
Peace in the Middle East was just the beginning.

“China needs the Middle East, even though they’re temporarily buying oil from Russia … and Iran, they need the Middle East.”
“They can’t afford to alienate the Arab nations,” he said.
O’Reilly argued that China’s struggling economy has made its leadership vulnerable to diplomatic pressure.
“The Chinese economy is going south faster than New Yorkers are getting out of the city — going to Florida,” he said.
According to O’Reilly, Trump’s next move could be historic.
“Trump’s going in with a big advantage and he’s looking Xi and the saying, listen, the whole world is now coalescing around the United States – NATO, EU, Middle East,” he said.
“You’ve got to get on board. You’ve got to stop all this stuff and become a partner with the USA for world peace and prosperity.”
O’Reilly also predicted that the Chinese leader may be seeking an exit from his alliance with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“I think Xi’s looking for a way,” O’Reilly said. “But part of the negotiation is going to be, ‘you, China, gotta get out of the Putin business.’”
“OPEC will replace the Russian oil. But you have to stop supporting Putin to end the Ukrainian war.”
“That’s the deal that is going to emerge, and that’s the importance,” he said.
According to Reuters, Trump could meet with Xi Jinping in South Korea later this month as China and the U.S. continue to go back and forth over trade and tariffs.

Scott Adams Predicts ‘No Kings’ Protests Will Go Nowhere: ‘What Exactly is That Going to do for Anybody?’ (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit
Scott Adams has a great way of putting things into perspective.
During a recent episode of his ‘Coffee With Scott Adams’ podcast, he turned his attention to the upcoming ‘No Kings’ protests and predicted that they’ll go no where because they don’t really have any meaning other than disliking Trump.
Adams also points out that after what Trump has done in the Middle East, the messaging of these protests is pointless.
Adams says:
I guess they’re going to have that ‘No Kings’ protest on the weekend. So the ‘No Kings’ is to say that they don’t want anybody who’s authoritarian. Do you think that has the same spice and energy now as it did a week ago?
Because Trump’s, like I said, Trump’s strong man, authoritarian approach is exactly what got us these good results. So they’re going to have a whole demonstration against the thing that we all watched work, right in front of our eyes. We all observed it working. And they’re going to have a whole demonstration against the thing we all observed working, which is Trump bullying people that needed to be bullied.
And uh, so I think that whole ‘No Kings’ thing, since it doesn’t have an objective, you know they just put it in the category of, see? We’re fighting Trump. Can you see? Look how hard we’re fighting him.
Well, what exactly are you doing? Well, we had some peaceful protests called No Kings. What exactly is that going to do for anybody? Is that supposed to change Trump’s behavior? Because they had a bunch of people marching? Are these people who haven’t watched news lately? They don’t know that Trump’s doing a good job?
What exactly will this accomplish? So that’s not going to accomplish anything. It doesn’t even have an accomplishment built into its objective. I don’t believe there’s any objective to it, right?
There’s more. Adams suggests that the real motive here is money for protest organizers.
Watch the whole thing below:
NEW: @ScottAdamsSays predicts upcoming “No Kings” protests will *FAIL MISERABLY* for Dems

— Jason Cohen (@JasonJournoDC) October 15, 2025
Scott summarized this so perfectly. There is no message other than the fact that they hate Trump, which everyone already knows. There is no objective either. It’s just something for the angry left to do because they have got nothing else.

New Polling Indicates the Virginia Race for Governor is Competitive – Republican Candidates Surging | The Gateway Pundit
Over the summer, it seemed like Democrat Abigail Spanberger was a lock for governor in Virginia, but the outcome of this race is not settled by a mile.
The awful comments from Jay Jones, the Democrat running to be attorney general, shook up the debate between Spanberger and Republican Winsome Sears. The comments also flipped the polling in the race for AG.
Now the Republican AG candidate Jason Miyares is polling better than Democrat Jones, and Sears has also gained ground.
This is a competitive race.
Paul Bedard writes at the Washington Examiner:
Virginia shake-up: Earle-Sears surging, Miyares overtakes Jones
Virginia’s races for governor and attorney general, newly jarred by a turbulent debate and a texting scandal, have suddenly changed three weeks before Election Day, giving new hope to Republicans.
After sitting in a holding pattern for months, Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears has cut Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger’s lead in half, and Attorney General Jason Miyares, running for reelection, has overcome Democrat Jay Jones’ lead.
In a new Trafalgar Group poll of likely general election voters completed Friday, Earle-Sears trailed Spanberger by just 2.6%, 47.7% to 45.1%. And Miyares has overtaken Jones, 48.9% to 43.1%.
Earle-Sears, who dogged Spanberger in their Thursday one-on-one debate, picked up a chunk of undecided voters in the latest Trafalgar survey. In a similar poll from about a week ago, Spanberger led 47.1% to 41.9%. Undecided voters in that Oct. 2 survey were at 9.4% and now they are 5.6%.
Earle-Sears is within Trafalgar’s 2.9% margin of error.
The swing was much bigger for Miyares, who trailed Jones a week ago, 48.8% to 45%.

Camille Opp Serves High Shine in Hunger Magazine
Photographer Andrew Yee (Atelier Management) captures a play of opposites in Hunger Magazine Issue 36. Here, model Camille Opp transforms each frame into a study in movement and mood. Styled and with beauty by Marco Antonio, the story, titled Full Contrast, celebrates the sleek precision of fall-winter fashion.
Yee’s lens finds rhythm in tension: metallic pleats glint against soft knits, while sculpted coats frame relaxed stances. Camille strikes confident, angular poses, shifting from sharp tailoring to tactile, color-rich textures with ease. Designs from labels such as Rabanne, Missoni, Jil Sander, and Gucci anchor the edit.
From transparent trenches to velvet golds, every look feels dramatic under Yee’s direction. It is modern glamour caught between power and ease. Antonio’s work on both styling and beauty ties it all together, creating an editorial that pulses with quiet energy and bold visual storytelling.
REPORT: State of Oregon to Spend More on Program That Offers Free Healthcare to Illegal Aliens Than Entire Budget of State Police | The Gateway Pundit
Democrats keep insisting that they are not keeping the government shut down over healthcare for illegal aliens, but the evidence contradicts them.
Everyone knows they want that.
Just look at what is happening in the Democrat-led state of Oregon. The state is about to spend more on healthcare for illegal aliens than they spend on their state police, and not by a small amount. We’re talking hundreds of millions of dollars.
Breitbart News reports:
Report: Dem-Led Oregon on Track to Spend $500 Million More for Healthcare Program that Includes Illegals than for State Police
The Democrat-led state of Oregon is on track to spend $500 million more on a program that includes free health care for illegal migrants than on its state police budget, according to reports.
According to state reports, the Healthier Oregon Program (HOP) has a budget currently set at $1.3 billion. The program, which launched in 2022, has seen a rise of 1,100 percent in costs since it launched. Meanwhile, the Oregon State Police have a budget of just over $717 million.
The Oregon Health Authority website says, “Starting July 1, 2023, immigration/citizenship status no longer affects whether someone qualifies for OHP [Full Oregon Health Plan].”
Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin blasted the state for its obscenely lopsided budgeting.
“Absurd. Oregon will spend $500 million+ MORE on free health care for immigrants regardless of legal status than on state police in its current budget period,” McLaughlin wrote in a post on X on Tuesday.
This is one of the reasons why Democrats are losing the optics battle in the shutdown. They can claim until they’re blue in the face that they’re not trying to fund healthcare for illegals, but everyone knows it’s something that they want and believe in.
NEW: Oregon is expected to spend more on a program extending health benefits to illegal immigrants than state police by $500 million this budget period, docs show.

Spending on health care for illegal immigrants has climbed 1100% in Oregon since the program’s introduction just four years ago.

The priorities on display in Oregon are the priorities of the entire Democrat party. The party that defunded police screams bloody murder if you try to take free healthcare away from people in the country illegally.
Ladies of ‘The View’ Laughably Claim Republicans Are Too Scared to go on Their Obnoxious, Hateful Show (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit
The ladies of ‘The View’ live in an alternate universe.
During the show today, Joy Behar, Whoopi and others suggested that they’d like to have more Republicans on the show but then absurdly suggested that Republicans are too scared to go on the show.
Republicans go into hostile media environments all the time. JD Vance was just recently harassed on ABC News by George Stephanopoulos.
It is Democrats who are scared to anywhere near media outlets that might be hostile towards them. They have no idea how to deal with hard questions. Look at what just happened to Katie Porter in California.
It’s also ironic for the hosts of this show to suddenly want to have more Republican guests. Why? So they can accuse them of being fascists to their faces?
Transcript via NewsBusters:
GOLDBERG: But that’s the great thing about The View, you know, we want people to come and give their views. And everyone who comes here, we try to be respectful, and we ask tough questions. We ask tough questions because we’re otherwise speculating.
SARA HAINES: Right.
GOLDBERG: So we can ask. Go ahead, Joy.
BEHAR: I was going to say that I think we should have more Republicans on the show, but they don’t want to come on. They’re scared of us. It’s like Marjorie Taylor Greene says that she finds the Republican men afraid of powerful women. Well, that may be true of all political persuasions, but if they would come on this show and they can explain to us what they’re trying to do to this country.
ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: And we have had some good ones. But like, I always think it’s helpful when we have like Ted Cruz, I think we should have. We’ve invited Mike Johnson. Thomas Massie has been super interesting.
Watch the clip:

Newsflash for Joy: Republicans are not afraid of you or any of your co-hosts. They avoid your show for the same reason that people avoid deadly diseases, poisons, and toxic waste.
You can’t spend years calling people ‘Nazis’ and then wonder why they don’t come around to chat with you.
State Dept Revokes Visas of Foreigners Who Celebrated Charlie Kirk’s Murder, Says They ‘Wish Death on Americans’ | The Gateway Pundit
The State Department has started revoking visas for foreigners found to have celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Following Kirk’s brutal assassination during a speaking event at Utah Valley University last month, many leftists took to social media to celebrate his death.
Some of those individuals happened to be guests in the United States.
In a post on the X platform, the State Department said it had “no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans.”
“The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk,” the department wrote.
The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans.
The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk. Here are just a few examples of aliens who are no longer welcome in the U.S.:
— Department of State (@StateDept) October 14, 2025
The post then went on to provide the following examples:
— An Argentine national said Kirk “devoted his entire life spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric” and “deserves to burn in hell.”
— A South African mocked Americans mourning him, writing that “they’re hurt that the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom” and that Kirk “was used to astroturf a movement of white nationalist trailer trash.”
— A Mexican claimed Kirk “died being a racist, he died being a misogynist,” adding, “there are people who deserve to die. There are people who would make the world better off dead.”
— A Brazilian said “Charlie Kirk was the reason for a Nazi rally where they marched in homage to him” and that he “DIED TOO LATE.”
— A German tweeted, “When fascists die, Democrats don’t complain.”
— A Paraguayan wrote, “Charlie Kirk was a son of a b**** and he died by his own rules.”
Each message was followed by the same line: “Visa revoked.”
“President Trump and Secretary Rubio will defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws,” they added.
“Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed.”
.@POTUS and @SecRubio will defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws.
Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed.
— Department of State (@StateDept) October 14, 2025
The news will come as a big disappointment to Democrats who probably hoped that these individuals would eventually become U.S. citizens and their loyal supporters.
