Charlie Kirk Lived Out a Mission Some Conservatives Thought Was Impossible 

Great minds have spent generations debating over the most effective ways to win hearts and minds to a cause, but all agree on one thing: If you reach the young, you will determine the course of a nation’s future.

Charlie Kirk knew this and lived it. 

Kirk’s mission to reach young people may have stemmed from the fact that his own very public political activism began when he was only a teenager. But at a time when many conservatives wrote college campuses off as bastions of leftist ideology that were too far gone, Kirk made universities his mission field, and emboldened hundreds of young people to do the same. 

Through Turning Point USA, which he co-founded, Kirk reached millions of young people with a political and faith-filled message and created a structure for campus activism across the nation through chapter groups and social media influencers. 

What made Kirk even more unique is that he did not go to college campuses to lecture students, but instead to have conversations, allowing students to ask him questions on politics and faith. It was at one of those very events at Utah Valley University where Kirk was assassinated Wednesday. 

Articulate, charismatic, and intelligent, Kirk spent more than a decade empowering young people to think critically, embrace the values of conservatism, and find hope and joy in a deep faith in Jesus Christ. 

Kirk spoke truth in boldness, and it cost him his life. 

It is challenging not to feel that a line has been drawn in the sand. A good man, a father, a husband, a leader has died. Is that the cost of truth? For the majority of us, Lord willing, it won’t be, but it does serve as a time for choosing. 

On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” Hannah Faulkner, a conservative commentator and author, and “Problematic Women” host Morgonn McMichael, a Turning Point USA contributor, join the show to discuss the choices we, the American people, face in the wake of Kirk’s slaying.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
