  • The shooter’s ideological motivation and cultural implications

  • The growing divide between competing worldviews in America

  • Parallels to the American Civil War

  • The danger of redefining speech as violence

  • Revival on college campuses—and what’s at stake now

  • The role of foreign influence, soft power, and national destabilization

  • Could this be America’s Fort Sumter moment?

You’ll also hear chilling clips, including celebratory reactions from progressive commentators and live footage of TMZ's on-air response.

Whether you admired Charlie Kirk or disagreed with his politics, his death raises critical questions about our future as a nation.

If you value freedom, civil debate, and the gospel truth—watch, share, and engage.
