About this listen

Episode One examines the events of September tenth, two thousand twenty-five, when Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University. The thirty-one-year-old Turning Point USA founder was speaking at the launch of his "American Comeback Tour" when a single shot struck him in the neck from approximately two hundred yards away. Kirk died at a nearby hospital that afternoon. The episode explores who Kirk was—a provocative conservative activist who built a national youth movement and became a key Trump ally. It details the immediate chaos on campus, the FBI investigation, arrest of a twenty-two-year-old suspect, and national response including statements from President Trump and all living former presidents condemning the political violence. The summary establishes how Kirk's assassination became part of an escalating pattern of attacks on American political figures.
