The Political Assassination of Charlie Kirk | 9/11/2025

The death of Charlie Kirk sent shockwaves through political discourse—now we unpack the truth and the emotional toll.

We didn’t plan this episode. There was supposed to be a 9/11 interview—but then the news broke. Charlie Kirk was gone. And suddenly, everything else felt irrelevant.

Keith and Brad sat down raw, emotional, and unrehearsed. What follows is a deeply personal conversation about loss, rage, faith, media manipulation, and what Charlie Kirk meant—not just politically, but personally. We reflect on grief in the age of social media, the disturbing joy from the left over his death, and what it reveals about where we are as a society.

We talk about legacy—what Charlie stood for, the ideas he championed, and the rare ability he had to challenge others with both conviction and compassion. Brad shares his frustration with the celebration of death online. Keith opens up about the emotional toll and why we can’t let Charlie’s voice be silenced.

There are moments of anger, of humor, of deep faith—and ultimately, a challenge: Will we carry this torch forward, or let them rewrite the narrative?

This one isn’t for clicks. It’s for Charlie.
