Summary

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, WMAL’s Larry O’Connor fills in for Mark. Charlie Kirk’s assassination is a pivotal moment dividing American politics into pre- and post-Kirk eras, marking a transformation in the conservative movement. We need to channel our resolve into action: reclaim our status without apology, boost faith/family/life purpose, volunteer for campaigns, and mobilize votes in upcoming elections. Kirk's legacy demands conservatives fight unyieldingly for borders, taxes, manufacturing, and Western values—proving there's more of us than them. Also, the conservative movement responded with disciplined resolve: swiftly grasping the gravity of the event, mobilizing through social media, preparing for lawful pushback, and demanding accountability from Democrats and media figures who celebrated the killing or demonized conservatives as Nazis.  This has rendered legacy media obsolete, empowered grassroots voices, and hardened MAGA's stance against calls for de-escalation, fostering a permanent shift toward assertive, peaceful resistance. Later, Kirk’s assassination was political violence aimed at silencing free speech. Kirk was a fearless communicator who used radio to bypass gatekeepers and reach millions directly. Conservative talk radio—America's last truly free public square—will not be intimidated, will grow stronger amid threats, and will continue broadcasting truths about liberty, faith, and American exceptionalism.
