Season 85, Episode 1013: Guest: Tom Bove: A Tribute to Charlie Kirk

"If you believe in something you need to have the courage to fight for those ideas not run away from them or try to silence them." - Charlie KirkOn today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, the founder of BBD Solutions, Tom Bove, is joining the show for a discussion and a look back at the life and influence of conservative activist and co-founder of Turing Point USA, Charlie Kirk, who was killed at a speaking engagement in Utah on September 10, 2025.  As an outspoken advocate for free speech and open dialogue among opponents, Charlie Kirk was someone who many looked up to as voice for change and traditional values and his loss was felt very deeply by many people.  In today's discussion, Tom and Jay are digging into the influence that Charlie's words and actions had on both of their lives personally, the need for people in the media to understand the weight of their words, the courage it takes to stand by your convictions even in the face of overwhelming scrutiny, and how this loss should encourage others to live in their truth.  Charlie Kirk meant a lot to a lot of people and, in his honor, we are glad we are able to discuss his life and legacy on The Culture Matters Podcast.
