We began 2026 with a heavy heart because the nation lost a fighter for free speech and the conservative cause on September 10, 2025, when Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University. Hardworking Americans from every corner of the country felt the chill that comes when political violence crosses the line from rhetoric to murder, and we owe it to his memory to tell the whole truth about what happened.
Video and eyewitness accounts show the attack unfolding under a tent during Kirk’s “American Comeback” appearance, a reminder that even peaceful public events are no longer safe from politically motivated violence. That brutal, calculated strike—carried out in broad daylight on a college campus—exposes the failure of institutions that are supposed to protect citizens and preserve robust debate.
Authorities eventually arrested a suspect and charged him in connection with the killing, and the criminal case against the accused—now facing multiple grave counts—has moved forward under close judicial scrutiny. Americans who cherish the rule of law will rightly demand a full accounting and a measured prosecution that seeks the maximum penalty where appropriate.
The outpouring of sorrow at Charlie Kirk’s memorial on September 21, 2025, where well over 90,000 people gathered to honor a private citizen who became a public symbol, proved one thing plainly: millions of Americans recognize that silence in the face of injustice is surrender. That massive show of respect was not a celebrity stunt but a grassroots response from patriots who understand that free speech and faith are worth defending.
Across the country, leaders from both parties condemned the assassination, but condemnation without action is hollow. Campus policies that have allowed corrosive anti-conservative climates to fester, the media’s reflexive smear of conservative voices, and social platforms that seed radicalization all deserve sober scrutiny and reform so no family faces this anguish again.
The courts have been working through procedural questions about transparency and safety, and on December 29, 2025, a judge ordered the release of redacted transcripts from a closed hearing while prosecutors signaled they will seek the harshest penalties available; a preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 18, 2026. Americans should watch and insist on fair, open proceedings that deliver justice without political theater.
We must honor Charlie Kirk not by shrinking from the fight, but by standing taller for free speech, faith, and the right of conservative students to organize on campuses without fear. Let this grim moment steel our resolve to demand law and order, hold institutions accountable, and protect the liberty that generations of Americans bled and sacrificed to secure.
