President Donald Trump is reportedly set to posthumously award Charlie Kirk the Medal of Freedom at his memorial on Sunday.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest possible civilian honor in the United States.
The memorial has fully packed the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and is being viewed by hundreds of millions of people before speeches have even begun.
According to a schedule posted by podcaster Mario Nawfal, President Trump will deliver the eulogy and present the Medal of Freedom at 4:20 p.m. EST.

Trump had announced his plan to award Kirk the medal during remarks at the Pentagon to commemorate the 9/11 attacks.
“Before we begin, let me express the horror and grief so many Americans at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk have felt. Charlie was a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty and an inspiration to millions and millions of people,” Trump said at the start of his remarks on September 11.
“Our prayers are with his wonderful wife, Erika, and his beautiful children — fantastic people they are,” Trump continued. “We miss him greatly, yet I have no doubt that Charlie’s voice and the courage he put into the hearts of countless people, especially young people, will live on.”
While announcing the plan to award the medal, he said the date had not yet been determined.
“I can only guarantee you one thing: We will have a very big crowd, very, very big,” Trump said.
Kirk was assassinated on September 10 while speaking on a college campus in Utah.
Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old with a transgender live-in boyfriend, has been charged with capital murder for the assassination.
If convicted, Robinson will be eligible for the death penalty.
