Conservative activist Charlie Kirk has been shot dead at the age of 31 while speaking at a university event in Utah. Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, rose to prominence as one of the loudest defenders of free speech on American campuses. His death has reignited fierce debate across the United States about political violence, liberty, and the limits of expression.

For supporters, Kirk was a fearless advocate of the First Amendment, giving a platform to voices they believed were excluded from public life. To critics, he blurred the line between debate and disinformation, often provoking division under the banner of free speech. His career reflected the transformation of campus disputes into national flashpoints, shaping both the conservative movement and Donald Trump’s political base.

In this edition of NewsHour, Guy Shone speaks with our Washington correspondent to explore Kirk’s legacy, the future of Turning Point USA, and the broader battle over free speech in America. We also bring you President Trump’s reaction in a White House press conference, where he expressed both grief and anger at Kirk’s killing.
