Summary

Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk was shot and killed on Wednesday at a conservative activism event held at Utah Valley University. President Trump called this political assassination “a tragedy,” while speaking with FOX’s Bret Baier, the President praised Kirk as “an unbelievable patriot” who captured the adoration of America’s conservative youth. FBI Director Kash Patel told reporters Wednesday night that the perpetrator of this fatal shooting is in custody. Executive editor & anchor of The Story With Martha MacCallum, Martha MacCallum joins the Rundown to react to shockwaves this assassination is sending through the political world and how this recurring pattern of political violence points to a nation on the brink of crisis. The September 11th terror attacks remain one of the nation's most defining and devastating moments, claiming thousands of lives and causing immense damage to one of America's most populous cities. Frank Siller, Tunnel to Towers Chairman & CEO, joins the Rundown to discuss how he created the Tunnel to Towers Foundation in honor of his younger brother, FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller, and why he remains dedicated to supporting the families of fallen first responders and military service members. Plus, commentary from FOX News Digital columnist David Marcus. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
