“The Great, and Even Legendary”: Trump Leads Tributes to Charlie Kirk
9/11’s ghosts return as America mourns a fallen conservative warrior.
Good Morning, it’s Thursday, September 11th, 2025.
Twenty-four years ago, America swore, “Never Forget.” Yesterday, Charlie Kirk was gunned down on a college campus — proof that the war on freedom is now fought at home. Today, we honor both the thousands lost on 9/11 and the youth leader stolen from us on 9/10.
Don’t keep this to yourself — forward today’s issue to one friend who needs the truth, not the spin.
And as always, hit reply with your thoughts — especially your memories of 9/11 and what Charlie Kirk’s work meant to you.
You can’t fight what you don’t see.
This intel briefing connects the dots between what you’re being told and what’s really being done — using leaked documents, open-source data, and silent contracts they hope stay buried.
Charlie Kirk Assassinated At 31 — A Movement Without Its Firebrand
The youth leader who carried the torch for a generation is gone.
I’m sitting here looking at the videos of Charlie’s assassination. I’ve downloaded them, with every intention of sharing them with you — to tell the story of what happened in real time. But I won’t. I refuse to turn Charlie’s last moments into content. Instead, I want to share the tribute I wrote yesterday on X and Substack, because this is bigger than the gunshot, the blood, the chaos. This is about the loss of a man who embodied the fight for America’s future.
What You Need to Know:
Charlie Kirk, 31, was shot during Turning Point USA’s American Comeback Tour stop at Utah Valley University.
He was answering a question about religion when a single round hit him in the neck.
President Trump called him “the Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk” in a Truth Social post, confirming his death.
The FBI says a suspect was detained, but as of late last night, police confirmed the shooter remains at large.
Why It Matters:
Kirk wasn’t just another conservative commentator — he was the architect of a youth movement that changed Republican politics.
He mobilized millions of students when campuses were hostile territory for conservatives.
He was a bridge between Trump’s populism and Gen Z’s raw energy.
The Real Story:
Charlie Kirk built Turning Point USA from a college startup in 2012 into a national powerhouse, with thousands of students filling arenas for AmericaFest and training to run for campus government. He wasn’t afraid to walk straight into hostile Q&As, taking arrows so younger conservatives knew they weren’t alone.
Yesterday, that courage cost him everything. Witnesses say he was mid-sentence about faith when the shot rang out. One student recalled: “I saw him hit in the neck, and I saw red gushing blood out of it.”
This wasn’t random violence. This was a direct strike at the conservative movement’s most visible youth leader, in the exact arena he dominated: the American campus. Twenty-four years after 9/11, America is still struggling to protect its leaders from targeted violence — only now the war is domestic.
What They Don’t Want You to See:
Turning Point USA’s internal staff email pulled no punches: “Charlie went to his eternal reward with Jesus Christ in Heaven.” They knew this wasn’t just tragedy — it was martyrdom for a cause bigger than politics.
Bottom Line:
Charlie Kirk is gone. The conservative movement lost its boldest youth warrior. But the question now is whether the fire he lit in students across the country burns brighter, or whether fear and silence win.
9/11, 24 Years Later — Did America Forget the Lesson?
Biden left the gate wide open. Trump’s now fighting enemies already inside.
Twenty-four years ago today, the Twin Towers fell and America swore we’d “never forget.” We launched wars, expanded intelligence agencies, and built a multi-trillion-dollar security state. But the real breach didn’t happen at an airport — it happened under Joe Biden’s border collapse.
By the time Trump returned to office, the damage was done:
Over 10 million illegals poured in during Biden’s four years, including thousands flagged on terror watch lists.
Radical Islamist networks are entrenched in places like Minneapolis, Dearborn, and Brooklyn — not hiding in caves, but running mosques, charities, and even local politics.
Americans now live with the daily reminder that our enemies aren’t “over there” anymore. They’re next door.
The anniversary of 9/11 isn’t just about the past — it’s a mirror. And it shows a country that poured its power into the wrong places. Yesterday, Charlie Kirk was assassinated on an American campus. Twenty-four years ago, thousands died in New York. Different enemies, same failure: our leaders protect their bureaucracy, not our people.
Bottom Line: We didn’t forget 9/11 — we learned the wrong lesson. The price is still being paid in blood.
FBI Chief Patel: Suspect in Kirk Assassination in Custody
Confusion still clouds the details of America’s darkest political killing in years.
FBI Director Kash Patel announced late Wednesday that the suspect behind Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University is now in custody. Patel posted on X: “The subject for the horrific shooting today that took the life of Charlie Kirk is now in custody. Thank you to the local and state authorities in Utah for your partnership with @fbi.”
The official story, however, remains muddy.
Witnesses say Kirk was shot from roughly 200 yards away while addressing students.
Videos show a rooftop figure running after the single gunshot that struck Kirk in the neck.
University officials initially claimed a suspect was detained, only to later clarify the shooter was still at large.
For Turning Point USA, the fog doesn’t change the outcome. Andrew Kolvet, the group’s spokesman, confirmed Kirk was hit in the neck and rushed from the scene by security. Minutes later, the nation’s most influential youth conservative was gone.
The Biden years normalized chaos in America’s cities. Now, a conservative leader has been assassinated on a college campus — a place he made his battlefield.
Bottom Line: Patel says the suspect is caught. But the deeper question remains: who armed, who enabled, and who radicalized the killer of Charlie Kirk?
What if the next big story is already buried?
Ledger members get early signals, decoded documents, and raw intel that never reaches the mainstream — or even Twitter.
Leftists Cheer Kirk’s Death Online. Within hours of the shooting, progressive accounts flooded X with mockery and celebration of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. TheBlaze caught screenshots: one user called it “karma,” another wrote “rest in piss.” This is what “tolerance” looks like when the mask slips. Read More →
Utah Governor: Death Penalty on the Table. Gov. Spencer Cox wasted no time reminding the assassin what awaits: “We still have the death penalty in Utah.” While Democrats debate abolishing executions, Cox just sent a clear message — kill a conservative leader in his state, and you may hang for it.

Together with The Ledger
Charlie Kirk was assassinated on stage at 31. One gunshot silenced the man who carried the conservative youth movement.
The press will call it random. It wasn’t. It was systemic chaos — nurtured by policies, protected by institutions, and weaponized against the right.
But Trump has already built the judicial machine to fight back. Loyalist judges. Supreme Court victories. Shadow docket maneuvers. The kind of legal firepower the left can’t memory-hole.
The latest Ledger reveals how Trump is using court power to crush the forces that left Charlie exposed. $7/mo. All receipts. Zero fluff.
We’ve lived through two days that defined America: 9/11 and now 9/10. Both remind us that the enemy never sleeps. One used a plane, the other a rifle. The result is the same — lives stolen, families shattered, freedom tested.
This issue isn’t meant to be read and forgotten. It’s meant to be carried, argued about, and shared. Because if we lose memory — or momentum — we lose everything Charlie fought for.
America’s enemies cheer when we stay silent. Let’s not give them that gift.
