Special Edition: A Tribute to Charlie Kirk - This Week on Capitol Hill - 9-13-2025

Before a live audience in southern California, TONY PERKINS offers a heartfelt tribute to assassinated Salem Radio Network host CHARLIE KIRK, who was shot on a college campus in Utah this week. U.S. House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON—who presided over a moment of silence in Kirk’s behalf following the murder—says it was a “very difficult week for America and for Congress.” JACK HIBBS, pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in southern California, lauded the Turning Point USA founder for “exercising the true spirit of the Constitution” by debating campus opponents…and he discusses Kirk’s impact on a younger generation of Americans. U.S. Ambassador to Israel MIKE HUCKEBEE joins the conversation with his own personal recollections of Charlie’s life. And Tony returns with a commentary on the need to break the cycle of hate in America which led to Charlie Kirk’s senseless death. All that ahead on Salem’s THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL, sponsored by AARP, releasing at 10AM Eastern Saturday on the Salem News Channel.
