As we told you Thursday evening, Vice President JD Vance helped carry Charlie Kirk's casket onto Air Force Two in order to be flown back to Arizona. It was a fantastic gesture to honor the Kirk family and all those who were fans of Charlie.
This was the scene after Air Force Two landed in Phoenix:

Pray for that family.

There was also some moving audio after the plane carrying Kirk landed at the airport, and this is wonderful.
These comments were either from air traffic control or another plane, but in either case this is very touching:
Air Force Two, returning Charlie Kirk to Phoenix, receives this message over the radio...

Yes indeed. As difficult as it can be, nobody should let all the hateful negativity get them down, even in such awful times. Keep carrying Charlie's message!
