SEC. KENNEDY: "A couple of days ago, my granddaughter left for college in Europe. Her mother noticed that she packed a Bible. When her mother asked her why she made that choice, she said, 'I want to live more like Charlie.'"

Thank you to Maria Bartiromo for hosting me, my wife Nurse Kate, and Baby Whitaker on your show this morning.
Charlie taught me to put Christ at the center of my life. He showed me that true happiness for a young man comes from marriage, family, and purpose. That’s why I say his life was prophetic.
They wanted a funeral. What they got was a revival.
Young men, listen closely. Fall in love. Get married. Have children. Build your life on Christ. That’s the key to purpose, to strength, to the American dream.

Victor Davis Hanson: Charlie Kirk’s Fight to Rescue a Generation From University Indoctrination
Universities have long been captured by liberal academics, and the fight for America's youth on campus at times feels hopeless. What made Charlie Kirk effective was that he did not run from that problem but ran head-on into it.
Victor Davis Hanson explains this key aspect of Charlie Kirk’s legacy, emphasizing how his approach was effective, and what our job is now to carry on his mission in saving our country from the campus on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“He did not go in the traditional academic pathway. He dropped out of college at 18. And he had to live by his wits, not in the artificial bubble of academia or the la-la land of the campus, where there are no consequences to behavior. … He learned to organize and galvanize people in a practical way.
“And he said, ‘The universities are training generation after generation after generation in this seriously dangerous leftist dogma.’ In other words, if you're worried about this bizarre transgender movement, this cult-like effort to have biological men compete in women's sports, to take one example; or you're worried about the idea that you can steal $950 and not be prosecuted; or if you think that race is essential and not incidental to who you are—where did these things come from? And he said they came from the campus.”

Kids of Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden drove assistant to suicide with ‘sexually explicit’ behavior, homophobic slurs: lawsuit
By Published Sep. 21, 2025, 6:03 a.m. ET
The children of US Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) relentlessly tormented their mom’s personal assistant, driving him to commit suicide, an explosive lawsuit claims.
Brandon O’Brien, 35, worked for the senator’s wife, Nancy Bass Wyden — owner of Manhattan’s famed Strand Bookstore — from June 2022 to September 2024and was “frequently tasked” with caring for the couple’s young kids, including driving them to school in NYC and watching them during trips to Disneyworld.
The disturbing behavior began in September 2022 when thecouple’s then-10-year-old daughter allegedly exposed herself to O’Brien, making “sexually explicit” comments and asking about his “intimate life” during school drop-offs, O’Brien’s husband, Thomas Maltezos, alleged in court papers he filed against Bass Wyden and her company, Bass Real Estate LLC.
But the mom — whose family founded the East Village book shop nearly a century ago — allegedly did nothing about the behavior, Maltezos contended.
Meanwhile, the Wydens’ teenage son berated O’Brien with homophobic slurs such as “f—-t” and “zest kitten,” and the boy said his “his football team ‘would rape him,”‘ the suit claimed.
The boy allegedly threw things at O’Brien and the mom once “maced her son to restrain him but inadvertently maced Mr. O’Brien,” according to the Manhattan Supreme Court paper show.
Some of the alleged abuse took place at Disney in front of Maltezos and his mother, the widower claimed.
Lawyers for Bass Wyden have sought to have Maltezos’ lawsuit tossed, court records should
The lawsuit is “baseless and deeply misguided” and “riddled with false accusations,” a Bass Real Estate spokesperson said in a statement. “It appears to be a continued effort to deflect attention from O’Brien’s own serious misconduct, including a documented pattern of theft from those he once worked for.”
When O’Brien finally quit in frustration on Sept. 30, 2024, Bass Wyden, 64, filed a report with the NYPD the next day, accusing him of stealing $650,000 in credit card and other thefts, authorities said.
Bass Wyden allegedly hired a private investigator to “probe into Mr. O’Brien’s personal life and business dealings,” according to court papers. By January, the prominent businesswoman “spread false rumors … to industry contacts and [his] professional colleagues,” leaving O’Brien distraught.
Maltezos announced his husband’s death in emotional online posts.
“It is with a shattered heart that I announce my beloved husband … died by suicide,” he wrote. “Brandon worked as an executive assistant and made every space better with his quiet grace and unwavering loyalty. I am completely heartbroken without him.”
Authorities dropped the theft case after the suicide. Lawyers for Maltezos insisted the accusation was false.
“The allegations against the senator’s wife are shocking, disturbing, and cruel — no person should ever be subject to this level of harassment, much less in the workplace,” Maltezos’ attorneys, Eric Baum and Reyna Lubin, said in a statement.
Ron Wyden, 76, is a twice-married father of five who was elected to the House in 1981.
The progressive Democrat, who has slammed President Trump over the Epstein scandal, DOGE staffing cuts and immigration, became a senator in 1996.
He married Bass Wyden, 12 years his junior, in 2005.
The couple has three kids in addition to Ron Wyden’s two adult children from his first marriage.
Public records show the senator and his wife have a home in Portland, but social media shows Bass Wyden appears to be in the Big Apple frequently to attend to her family’s 98-year-old business.
The senator’s older son, hedge fund investor Adam Wyden, publicly broke with his tax-the-rich dad in 2021over the Biden Administration’s plan to tax capital gains.
“Why does he hate us / the American dream so much?!?!?!?! Reality is: most legislators have never built anything… so I guess it’s easier to mindlessly and haphazardly try and tear stuff down,” the younger Wyden wrote of his legislator dad on X, in response to an exchange between the Congressman and Elon Musk.
