Summary
On a special episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, we’re bringing you a conversation straight from the stage at TPUSA’s Americafest in December which brought together for the first time some of the men whose footage, testimony, and coverage of Kyle—Jack Posobiec, Drew Hernandez, and Elijah Schaffer—with Kyle himself to tell the story of that night in Kenosha and the show trial that was to follow. Charlie moderates and gets to the bottom of what Kyle may have planned for the legacy media networks who slandered an 18-year-old boy’s name. Much like Kyle himself, the litany of commentary here on the state of journalism, the Second Amendment, and our American way of Life doesn’t miss and you’re going to want hear all of it.
