On today’s special episode of Next Up with Mark Halperin, Mark has the conversation about Charlie Kirk’s assassination that no one else is having – with the people most directly shaped by his life and death yet largely overlooked in the national coverage: the college students whose futures he transformed.

Mark sits down with Turning Point USA leaders from campuses across the country to reflect on Charlie Kirk’s life, his assassination, and the impact it has had on their own journeys. They offer candid and powerful accounts of what Charlie meant to them, the challenges they’ve faced on campus since his death, and how their experiences echo those of millions of peers nationwide. They also describe how his example shaped their approach to leadership – teaching them to argue with respect rather than anger and to fight for a moral revival – in stark contrast to the dominant media narrative that paints his supporters as hateful or vengeful.

The Daily Wire’s Isabel Brown also joins Mark to reflect on her close friendship with Charlie and the mentorship that shaped her career. She shares intimate stories of his guidance, the lessons he instilled in young conservatives, and how his mission continues to inspire her and others to carry the torch forward.
