Exactly one week ago, Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA was shot and killed while giving an address at Utah Valley University.  Tributes of various kinds have been pouring in worldwide.  Jim began this edition of Crosstalk with one such tribute as he presented audio from Vice President J.D. Vance who hosted the Charlie Kirk Show this past Monday.

Jim then segued into audio from Charlie's wife, Erika, who with amazing strength and courage, spoke last Friday evening to Turning Point USA supporters, just a little over 48 hours after the shooting.

Jim followed Erika's address with news headlines related to the shooting.  After this, the phone lines were opened for several minutes to allow listeners the opportunity to express their thoughts to round out the broadcast.
