Hi, everybody and welcome to the Kyliecast. Today is a horrible day. The world today is truly a

different place than it was yesterday. And that's because yesterday, Charlie Kirk was taken from this

world violently, sadly, and suddenly at the hands of an assassin, who fired a single fatal shot

during a turning point event on the campus of Utah Valley University. Charlie Kirk was a 31-year-old

devoted and faithful husband, a loving father to two beautiful children, an outspoken Christian, a stalwart conservative,

and a true patriot in every sense of the word. I didn't know Charlie Kirk personally.

We weren't friends, but my life and my beliefs have no doubt been shaped by Charlie's just

massive influence on the conservative movement.

Many of my friends were brought into the movement by Charlie Kirk and his organization.

And it's just remarkable to watch the maturity of Charlie Kirk as a leader, as a Christian, and as a father since his firebrand days of being a teenager in the public eye.

Charlie Kirk turned into such an

important figure for the Make America Great Again movement, such an important figure for

conservatism broadly. He had a way of guiding people back to reality on a whole range of topics.

He talked frequently about things like abortion and euthanasia. He basically

educated Gen Z on the founding of our great country when public schools failed them. He reiterated

often that boys are boys, girls are girls, boys cannot become girls, and girls cannot become boys.

He opposed the institutional racism of the diversity, equity, and inclusion complex,

and also opposed the violence and the racism of the Black Lives Matter movement. He condemned

lawfare and championed law and order. He helped move our foreign policy away from the old way

of shutting down debate and into a far more productive way of thinking.

He fought warmongers and censors and propagandists and the swamp, and he did it all with a

smile. He advocated for secure elections, and he helped define what America First really means.
