Ben, your thoughts on a terrible day.

Yeah, I can't.

I mean, there's legit nothing to say.

I mean, it's rare that, you know, there's nothing to say, but there's truly nothing to say.

I mean, unthinkable, absolutely unthinkable.

I mean, I've known Charlie Kirk since Charlie was 18 years old.

And I met Charlie when I was a significantly younger man. I was 13 years ago. So I was in my late

20s and I was working at the David Horwoods Freedom Center. I met Charlie Kirk when he was

a fresh-faced, bushy-tailed youngster who was starting Turning Point USA

legitimately right out of high school.

And he'd already found a couple of seed founders, but he's kind of walking around the

David Horowitz Freedom Center event looking for donors.

And I started introducing him around to donors.

And I remember turning to Jeremy Boring, a co-founder here at Daily Wire, and turning to him at the time, because we

both worked there and saying, that kid is going to be the head of the RNC.

And I was wrong.

He wasn't the head of the RNC.

He created his own organization that was significantly more important than the RNC, the most

important conservative organization in the country.

And Charlie was unendingly energetic, optimistic, a coalition builder.

So many got better at everything that he did, truly. I mean, I watched him from his youngest

days. He got better at speaking. He got better at debating. He got better at fundraising.
