Ryan remembers the life and legacy of the conservative standard-bearer for a generation of young Americans, Charlie Kirk (1993-2025). We compare the 4-minute speech given by President Trump from the Oval Office on Wednesday, sharing the news of Charlie's death with the country, to the 4-plus minute speech delivered by President George W. Bush on the night of September 11, 2001 after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon that day. How have we fallen so far, as a nation, in those 24 years in-between?

Charlie Kirk provided a tremendous amount of life, energy, and light as the founder of Turning Point USA, and Ryan contends that for all the love he made and created during his time on Earth, he takes all of that love with him into the afterlife.
