The Political Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they react to the horrifying political assassination of Turning Point USA Founder and CEO Charlie Kirk.

First, they examine the murder of Kirk at Utah Valley University, breaking down the latest developments in the investigation. They cover details on the weapon used, the ongoing manhunt for the suspect, and evidence suggesting transgender ideology and Antifa extremism may have motivated the attack. They also reflect on the shock and revulsion at hearing the news.

Next, they chronicle the execrable coverage of the shooting on MSNBC. From the very beginning, anchor Katy Tur implicitly blamed Utah's gun laws. Commentator Matthew Dowd blamed Kirk's "hate speech" for inciting his own shooting. Dowd was fired before the end of the day. And while many on the left did express outrage over the shooting, way too many lefties on social media brazenly celebrated Kirk's death.

Then, they look back on what Kirk accomplished in his 31 years and whether this tragedy will finally push the nation to confront the forces driving such violence or if it signals a darker tipping point ahead.

Finally, they reflect on the 24 years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
