On the Charlie Kirk Show (Monday, December 15), the team addresses a whirlwind weekend of breaking news and online controversy.
First: Candace Owens declines to appear in person for a planned livestream, as Erika Kirk announces a private meeting and puts public commentary “on hold” until after that conversation. The show previews upcoming guests, including Viva Frei and ballistics expert Gary Melton, to examine the evidence and timeline surrounding the Charlie Kirk case.
Then: reports out of Los Angeles say filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle were found dead, with early reporting indicating their adult son is in custody as investigators sort through what happened. The panel stresses that political differences never justify violence, shares condolences, and highlights Rob Reiner’s past comments condemning Charlie Kirk’s murder and praising Erica’s message of forgiveness.
The hour closes with a preview of what’s next: terrorism at Australia’s Bondi Beach, the Brown University shooting, and other significant developments.
