O'Connor & Company

The special tells the story of how Charlie started Turning Point USA in his parents’ garage and built it into one of the largest youth organizations in the country, becoming the most consequential conservative voice of his generation.

Narrated by Mike Gallagher, Larry O’Connor, and Alex Marlow, with a special appearance by Larry Elder, the program will tell Charlie’s remarkable story largely through his own voice, including rare audio from his first interview with longtime host Dennis Prager when Charlie was just 22 years old.

The program draws from rare archival interviews and recordings, along with stories from those who knew Charlie throughout his rise from a young activist to a national conservative leader. More than anything, it will give you another chance to hear Charlie as you remember him: in his own voice.

The Republican Party is gearing up for the midterms, and last night's convention in Dallas was a big deal. The speaker discussed the importance of getting out the vote, especially among Trump supporters, and highlighted the key issues that Republicans are focusing on, including voter ID, oil prices, and the automotive industry. But what really caught our attention was the president's speech, which was all about making a stark contrast between the Republican Party and the Democrats.
The episode delves into the details of the convention, including the speeches from Brandon Gill and Todd Blanche, and the president's address to the crowd. We also hear from Patrice Onwuka, a friend of the program, who spoke about the importance of the tax cuts and how they've benefited working-class Americans. But what's really at stake is the future of the country, and the speaker makes it clear that the choice is between freedom and socialism.
The episode also touches on the passing of Charlie Kirk, a beloved conservative voice who was tragically murdered last year. The speaker shares some personal anecdotes about Charlie and reflects on the importance of his legacy. We also hear from Matt Whitlock, a Republican strategist, who provides insight into the Republican Party's strategy for the midterms and the president's messaging.
