This one wasn’t easy to do. Coming to you solo from Prague to discuss the biggest story in the world right now—the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I’ll never shake the video of Kirk getting shot from my memory. It was so horrific. I didn’t think for a second that was something he’d survive.
Charlie Kirk was a happy warrior who spoke truth and gave young people a reason to believe in the nuclear family, their faith, and their country.
