I come to you with a heavy heart today.

Pretty awful news to talk about somebody who is very important to all of us in the conservative community

was shot at this afternoon, one Charlie Kirk.

And this is just a pretty tragic, tragic situation all around.

So President Trump has just confirmed that

Charlie Kirk has died following this event. And yeah, clearly an assassination attempt.

I've known Charlie a long time.

We actually both have the same company that sells advertising in our show, Salem Media.

And I remember the first time I met Charlie I was struck by how tall he was

he was very tall this big guy and just phenomenal right on camera and I'm a good judge of

talent I'd say and I said to my producers mean, we had him on camera long before I even met him in person.

I said, make sure we get him back over and over and over again.

The president of the United States confirming that Charlie Kirk is now dead,

it is believed that this may have been an assassination attempt.

I mean, somebody wanted him dead.

As we understand this, this was one bullet, one shot that was fired, and the president writes that

Charlie Kirk is no longer with us. Let me share with you his post.

He writes, the great and even legendary Charlie Kirk is dead.

No one had the heart of the youth in the United States of America better than Charlie.

He was loved and he was admired by all, especially me.

And now he is no longer with us, Melania, and my sympathies go out to his beautiful wife, Eric, and his family.

Charlie, we love you.
