You know, the people I find most mysterious in all this is Charlie Kirk's parents because they've really just been silent.

I think his father was an architect.

He grew up in Chicago.

And to me, they are intriguing because I wonder what they thought about his son doing this.

From my reading, I think they were Democrats.

And so I wonder how they feel about his son, obviously a terrible way for your son to be killed.

And they haven't been out there talking about it.

They're not out there supporting Turning Point.

They just seem to have stayed resiliently in the background.

I remember seeing them in a lineup, I think meeting President Trump, but they are not using any kind of opportunity to put themselves forward.

And I suspect they must have been anxious about Charlie once he embarked on his turning point journey.

And what you never see, or at least I haven't seen, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, is pictures of Erica Kirk with his parents.

Now, I also thought it was very odd that at the funeral, when Erica Kirk was making her speech, she never...

once mentioned Charlie Kirk's mother.

I mean, in all of this, terrible to lose your husband, the father of your children, but also terrible for a mother to lose her son.

Totally.

No one remarks on it.

The parents never come up in the conversation.

The two things they campaigned against.

Yeah.
