A quarter of a century has passed since September 11, 2001, when the peace of our Nation was shattered by terrorists.
Today, we remember the 2,977 precious lives taken from us, honor the heroes who answered the call, & keep their families in the heart of our Nation.
Above all, we must ensure the memory of 9/11 never fades, but is carried from one generation of Americans to the next.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸
Today marks one year since we lost Charlie Kirk.
A year ago, we mourned, we filled stadiums, and we pledged that we would carry the torch. His torch.
In that hurt we found inspiration. We saw people across social media pick up a Bible for the first time and decide I'm going to be better, for Charlie. And it’s easy to feel that fire when the wounds are fresh, like they were a year ago today. The real test comes later, in the quiet moments when the crowds go home, and life gets back to normal.
So today, I'm challenging you to look at the quiet promises you made when emotions were high. The scripture you promised to read. The career or hobby you wanted to start. The hard truths you swore you'd stop ignoring.
A real tribute to Charlie isn't just saying his name. It's sitting down at your kitchen table, picking up the unglamorous work, and actually living out what you said you believed.
Pick it back up this week. Finish what you started. For Charlie.
September 10, 2025, changed America’s history forever.
One year ago, our founder, our leader, and our friend, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated while doing what he had devoted his life to: standing before young Americans and challenging them to think, to speak, and to have the courage to stand for what they believe.
There are no words that can adequately describe what this past year has been like.
We have had to learn how to carry on without the person who was at the center of everything we do. We have celebrated milestones that Charlie should have been here to celebrate. We have stood on stages where his voice should have been heard. We have watched his children grow without their father there to see it. And we have felt the weight of his absence in ways that never seem to get easier.
For the people who knew and loved Charlie, September 10 will never simply be an anniversary. It is the day our lives were changed forever.
Today, our hearts are especially with Erika, Charlie’s children, the Kirk family, and the countless people who loved him. No organization, movement, or mission can replace what was taken from them. We will never forget the unimaginable loss they continue to carry.
But we also remember Charlie for how he lived.
Charlie’s faith was at the center of who he was. He believed deeply in God and trusted that his life was guided by a meaningful purpose. Charlie’s faith in Christ was his armor, which no assassin could overcome. He believed in life everlasting, and it was this unshakable faith that gave him a courage that was impossible to miss. He was willing to walk into difficult rooms, have uncomfortable conversations, and stand firmly for what he believed because he wanted others to know the hope and truth he had in Jesus. Charlie died a martyr for Christ.
Charlie believed America was worth fighting for, that young people could change the course of a nation, and that speech would only remain free if exercised. Always leading by example, he was fearless in the pursuit of truth—no matter the cost. No one taught this generation how to fight the good fight better than Charlie Kirk.
Turning Point shares those beliefs and will never abandon them. Charlie never gave up, and neither will we. Turning Point will continue to grow and meet milestones that Charlie dreamed of.
Today, we are not focused on the chapter numbers, the headlines, or the accomplishments. Today, we remember an incredible patriot, a husband, a father, and a man whose faith gave him the courage to spend his life serving a purpose he believed was bigger than himself.
We miss him.
We grieve him.
And we will never forget him.
One year later, Turning Point remains committed to carrying forward the work Charlie began.
For Charlie. Always.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is guarded twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year.
It has been guarded, without interruption, since 1937.
In September of 2003, Hurricane Isabel reached Washington. The National Park Service, out of concern, gave the sentinels of the Old Guard permission to stand down for the storm.
They did not stand down.
The sergeant of the guard on duty that night refused the permission, calmly, and without further comment. He would later say, in an interview, only that permission was not the same as an order, and that in the absence of an order, the walk continues.
The walk continues.
Twenty-one steps. Turn. Face the tomb. Twenty-one seconds. Turn. Face the other way. Twenty-one seconds. Twenty-one steps.
The rain came sideways.
A tree fell in the cemetery a hundred yards to the east.
The wind lifted a portion of the roof from a nearby maintenance shed.
The sentinel did not break stride.
He walked. He turned. He walked.
At 3 a.m. the wind reached seventy miles per hour, and a sentinel weighing 175 pounds in soaked wool, carrying a rifle, and wearing sunglasses in the dark because the manual requires them, walked twenty-one steps, turned, and walked twenty-one steps back.
Nobody was watching him.
Nobody could have watched him. The cemetery had been closed. The public had been evacuated. The only witness was the storm.
He walked for six hours.
He was relieved at 6:12 a.m.
The tomb had not been left, at any point during the storm, uncovered.
There is no medal for this.
There is no ribbon. There is no citation. There is no commendation in his file.
The Old Guard does not require one.
The walk is the point.
The walk was the walk before there was a country to record it, and the walk will be the walk after everyone who remembers this night is gone.
Somewhere in America, at this moment, in whatever weather, a sentinel is walking twenty-one steps beside a marble slab, facing an unknown man whose name he does not know, for an oath he took to a country that will never see him take it.
That is what the promise looks like when nobody is watching.
Today we commemorate the American heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice and laid down their lives so that this country could remain free
This Memorial Day, we all must fight harder than ever before to ensure that the America they died for remains worthy of their sacrifice
🇺🇸 This weekend we remember the ones who never made it home. No politics. No noise. Just gratitude for the men and women who gave everything so we could have everything.
Honor them today. Not just with words but with how you live.
God bless our fallen heroes 🇺🇸 🦅🫡
@paulsaladinomd I’m confused how these are shocking results. I am working on natural weight loss. I am tracking to lose 100 lbs in 75 weeks. Which is the same amount of weight loss by taking the drug. Not sure I see the payoff unless I’m missing something
Messrs. @benshapiro, @michaeljknowles, @brentscher, and @bdomenech:
Why are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints not welcome in The Daily Wire's conservative movement?
Members of the LDS Church have been for more than a century and remain today predominantly conservative in their political orientation. They believe in the value of self-reliance, the participation of voluntary charity, and giving back to their families and communities, all while being active in their faith and worshipping their savior, Jesus Christ. They regularly are rated at or near the top in terms of practicing the religious tolerance they seek in others. They would, in other words, seem to be an ideal group for you to court as part of your audience.
For over a year now, however, The Daily Wire has been willing to give voice to anti-LDS sentiment in its pages and on its programs in a way that I have not seen you do with other faiths. This has accelerated recently with the addition of Matt Fradd to your content roster, as multiple episodes of his show have worked to tear down the LDS Church and he has written an article you published titled "7 Reasons Joseph Smith Was A False Prophet."
You have the right to hire and platform anyone you see fit. I am not arguing that, nor am I arguing for Fradd's dismissal from your organization.
But what is the reasoning for not only turning your back on but actively insulting and attacking an important segment of your audience? As one of the foremost online publications catering to contemporary conservative thought, news, and action, The Daily Wire is a critical weapon in the fight against the left, and one that conservatives of all stripes have long been glad to have in their corner. Telling LDS Church members that they are not welcome in the fight that you are leading is not just a slap in the face to a group who has, to the best of my knowledge, done nothing to you to deserve it, but also a bewildering business decision on the part of a media group that would ostensibly benefit from bringing multiple conservative groups together rather than dividing them.
I would like to encourage you to reconsider your stance actively turning aside LDS Church members who believe in the same things you claim to believe in and instead welcome them into your movement with the respect they, and those of all religious affiliations, deserve. You may not believe what they believe, but they believe what you believe--or at least what you have heretofore claimed to.
You have the power to make the conservative tent bigger, not smaller. If you continue to refuse to exercise it, I would like to request that you at least do members of the LDS Church--and, in fact all conservatives--the courtesy of explaining to them why you want anyone and everyone else in your political movement and sampling your political content other than them. Many of them have joined me in canceling our subscriptions, and the numbers will likely only increase if you persist in this bizarre crusade against LDS Church members. I don't want that; none of them do. But your actions have all but required it if they are to maintain their dignity and commitment to their faith.
I will repost this message once per day on X until I receive a response from one of you as to why you are actively excluding and defaming members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints instead of welcoming them to be a part of what you are creating.
