The Lion panel dives into the ongoing national response to the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, exploring its ripple effects on free speech, faith, and media accountability. Host Chris Stigall and the team discuss how Kirk’s message of civil discourse and Christian values continues to inspire, from his wife Erika’s powerful resolve to lead Turning Point USA to RFK Jr.’s reflections on courage. The panel also examines the fallout for late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, whose suspension from ABC sparks debates over media bias and marketplace consequences. Additional topics include the overflow of worshippers in churches and the secular drift of America’s oldest Christian colleges. Join us for a deep dive into these critical issues shaping our nation.
