Charlie Kirk's Final Arizona Rally Speech: Why This State Will Determine America's Future
Charlie Kirk addresses a packed Arizona rally on the eve of Election Day, tracing the state's significance from hosting Donald Trump's first MAGA rally nine years ago to its potential deciding role in the upcoming election. Kirk emphasizes Arizona's transformation from being down several points in early voting in 2020 to leading by eight points, while warning against complacency. He calls on attendees to spend the final weekend mobilizing low-propensity voters, knocking on doors, and ensuring hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters who received mail-in ballots actually submit them. Kirk frames the election as a realignment where the party now includes figures like Robert Kennedy Jr., Elon Musk, and Tulsi Gabbard, contrasting it with what he describes as the Democrats' platform of war, censorship, and failed policies on borders, inflation, and housing affordability.
Charlie Kirk opened his speech by reminding the Arizona crowd of their state's unique place in political history. The first MAGA rally was held in Phoenix, and this appearance marked Donald Trump's final visit to Arizona as a candidate, completing a nine-year journey that began with the golden escalator announcement.
"Donald Trump's values have not changed over the last 40 years from the golden escalator to this stage tonight," Kirk told the audience. "Donald Trump was clear that our country will be invaded no longer and we will not put up with our sovereignty being jeopardized. That's why he came to Arizona."
Kirk described Arizona as the state that helped launch a movement that has swept the globe, though he diplomatically acknowledged the state has not been "exactly accurately reflected in elections" in recent cycles.
The Great Political Realignment
Kirk highlighted what he called a profound political realignment happening across the country, pointing to the contrasting coalitions formed in the election.
"Kamala Harris gets Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger and we get Bobby Kennedy, Elon Musk, and Tulsi Gabbard," Kirk declared. "They say that Trump is good at making deals. That is the best political trade in the history of political trades."
He emphasized that party labels no longer matter as much as a fundamental question: "Do you love the country and do you want to do whatever it takes to save the country from these robber barons, from these ideological zealots and these partisans that have been stealing our money, going after our children and sending us into no-win wars halfway across the globe?"
Kirk framed the choice as one between a party of free speech, borders, and openness to ideas versus what he described as a party of war, censorship, and ugliness. He referenced President Biden's comment calling Trump supporters "garbage," turning it into a rallying cry: "Look around Mr. President because there's a lot of garbage here tonight and this Tuesday we're going to take out the garbage of the White House."
Early Voting Progress and the Warning Against Complacency
Kirk shared encouraging news about early voting numbers while simultaneously warning against overconfidence.
"In 2020 we were down a couple points at this time in early voting. As of today we are beating the Democrats by eight points in early voting," he announced. However, he immediately followed with a warning: "We have a lot of work yet to do."
He urged those who had already voted to find two, three, four, five, or six other people to get to the polls. "Your job and your duty and your task is not done," Kirk insisted. "This state is going to determine the future of the United States of America."
Kirk specifically cautioned against developing a spirit of cockiness or overconfidence. He asked attendees to remember the pain of election night 2020 when Arizona was called for Biden just 90 minutes after polls closed. "I want you to recreate the anger that you felt. I want you to recreate that pit of the stomach," he said, urging them to channel that emotion into action.
Arizona's Economic Struggles Under Biden-Harris
Kirk outlined how Arizona has been particularly affected by what he described as failed policies on borders and inflation.
"When Donald Trump was President you could buy a home in Phoenix Arizona if you earned $75,000 a year. Now it requires $135,000 a year to purchase a home in Phoenix Arizona, not to mention the millions of people coming across the southern border," Kirk stated.
He contrasted this with Trump's policy proposals for day one:
No tax on tips
No tax on overtime
No tax on social security
Drill baby drill
Secure the border
End World War III
No men in women's sports
Kirk also took a jab at Vice President Harris's economic messaging: "They asked the question what are you going to do for the economy? She says well you know I was raised in a middle class family. Okay we got that." He added with a grin, "Just so we're setting the record straight, Donald Trump has worked longer at McDonald's than Kamala Harris ever has."
The Campus Revolution: Young Men Turning Conservative
Kirk shared observations from his college campus tour in support of Trump, having just completed the 25th campus stop.
"I go to college campuses so you don't have to, but I'll tell you there is something happening on these campuses. We can't find rooms big enough to fit all the students that want to attend our campus events," Kirk reported.
He delivered what he considered particularly significant news: "I am happy to report that young men are the most conservative that they have been in 50 years."
The Final Weekend Push: From Support to Votes
Kirk's central message for the final days before the election was clear: support must be converted into votes.
"The table is set. We outnumber them. We have more support. But do we have more votes?" Kirk asked. "The question is we have to turn our support into votes and that is where the grittiness comes in."
He outlined a specific strategy for the final weekend:
Attend Turning Point Action super chase events across the valley
Knock on five doors
Download the Turning Point Action app and canvas your neighborhood
Find every low-propensity voter
Wear MAGA hats in public and ask people if they've voted
Kirk emphasized that hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters in the valley have received mail-in ballots but haven't submitted them yet. "We need to find those people and get them in the system," he urged.
He also highlighted another group: "There are hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters that may or may not show up. These are plumbers, electricians and welders. These are people that we love and that we cherish. Might say oh my vote won't matter. You need to convince them to go to the polls and get their vote in and bring two friends with them."
Why Arizona Matters: A Love Letter to the State
Kirk closed his speech with a personal reflection on why Arizona holds such significance for him.
"I was raised in Chicago but this is my home and I love this state. This is the best place in America and I could live anywhere I want. I live here for a reason," Kirk shared.
He explained what makes Arizona special: "No one asks where you went to college. I wouldn't be able to tell them because I didn't go to college. No one here cares who your parents are. Arizona is what America should be. It's how do you act, what is your character and what do you do."
Kirk described Arizona as "the best the country has to offer," calling it State 48, a state that loves liberty, freedom, and cherishes the founding ideals of the nation.
"I believe we are all here for God's purpose to liberate this state from Democrat control and we'll all see it on CNN an election night if we do the work," Kirk concluded. "'You can now project the 11 electoral votes of Arizona to Donald J. Trump.' Get to work everybody. Let's win this thing."
