Minutes before we went on air, Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was shot on stage in Utah. A quarter-hour after the show ended, President Trump announced on Truth Social that Charlie was dead. As I write, a second suspect has been taken into custody.
UPDATE: Like the first suspect, he has been released. So, as of now, the killer remains at large.
There are disturbing Internet posts from the hours before his death:

There was already a "Charlie Kirk Lecture Series" - or, more accurately, a Charlie Kirk Debate Series. That's what Charlie Kirk did. He would go anywhere and debate anyone. And they killed him for it. As I have said since my own free-speech travails began almost two decades ago:
Mark Steyn: 'The Left Doesn't Want to Win the Debate, They Want to Cancel the Debate'
And, if that doesn't work, they'll put a bullet in you. Because, as I have said for years, they want you dead.
The creatures who control the American education system have played a leading role in dissolving the bonds that make a shared society possible. What's more likely?
