O'Connor & Company

The special tells the story of how Charlie started Turning Point USA in his parents’ garage and built it into one of the largest youth organizations in the country, becoming the most consequential conservative voice of his generation.

Narrated by Mike Gallagher, Larry O’Connor, and Alex Marlow, with a special appearance by Larry Elder, the program will tell Charlie’s remarkable story largely through his own voice, including rare audio from his first interview with longtime host Dennis Prager when Charlie was just 22 years old.

The program draws from rare archival interviews and recordings, along with stories from those who knew Charlie throughout his rise from a young activist to a national conservative leader. More than anything, it will give you another chance to hear Charlie as you remember him: in his own voice.
