09-11-25 Part One - Remembering Charlie Kirk

9/11/2025
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we remember the life of conservative political activist and dear friend Charlie Kirk. At a rally Wednesday at a Utah college campus, Charlie was assassinated. Tonight all of us at Red Eye Radio are shocked and are mourning the loss of such a dear friend and American Patriot. The founder of Turning Point USA was a champion of the conservative narrative and was known to welcome the opposing views of the Gen Z college youth and provided a compassionate conversation giving youth a platform to an open debate to voice their opinion. Charlie Kirk's life was tragically cut short. He leaves behind a wife and two small children and a mourning nation that loved him and all that he stood for. May he rest in peace. Also the manhunt is underway for Charlie Kirk's assassin. Shortly after the shooting, Utah police detained two persons of interest but was later questioned and released. As of this writing the shooter remains at large. The issue of radical trans-genderism was discussed as this issue was central to Charlie Kirk's message, the left's hateful response to his death that led to MSNBC firing Matthew Dowd for his inappropriate comments about Kirk "bringing this on himself", the international response to Kirk's death including condolences from Benjamin Netanyahu, audio from many media hosts including CNN's Scott Jennings and Gary and Eric share the personal impact of Charlie's death. Also adopting Charlie's attutude of the pursuit of happiness, audio from Charlie on Bill Maher's podcast and Barry Weiss is the liberal version of Charlie KIrk.
