Daily Wire host Isabel Brown is set to speak at a Turning Point USA event at Colorado State University — an event where the campus organization’s founder, Charlie Kirk, was initially scheduled to appear before his assassination in Utah on Wednesday, September 10. Brown, an alumna of CSU herself and the former TPUSA president for that campus’ chapter, said that the organization had declined to cancel the planned event in the wake of Kirk’s murder — but had instead booked a larger venue and forged ahead with what quickly became a vigil for their late founder. Charlie Kirk was scheduled to speak tomorrow at my alma mater, Colorado State University, where in 2018 he came to speak to our @TPUSA chapter while I was then-chapter president. He was SO excited to be back in Fort Collins, and two weeks ago was texting me links to local media… pic.twitter.com/mJt3zd0uCm — Isabel Brown (@theisabelb) September 17, 2025 “Charlie Kirk was scheduled to speak tomorrow at my alma mater, Colorado State University, where in 2018 he came to speak to our @TPUSA chapter while I was then-chapter president,” Brown posted via X. “He was SO excited to be back in Fort Collins, and two weeks ago was texting me links to local media coverage about his return to campus.” When Kirk was shot during an appearance at Utah Valley University a week prior, however, Brown said that the expectation was that TPUSA would cancel the Colorado State University event. “Everyone expected the students to cancel their event,” she continued. “Instead, they moved it — to the largest venue on campus as a place for people across Colorado & the West to mourn Charlie’s life and honor his legacy. I am humbled and honored to have been asked to return to CSU to speak tomorrow at Charlie’s vigil.” “This will be one of the hardest events I’ve ever done, but easily the most important by a mile,” she concluded. “See you tomorrow, Rams. God Bless You.” Brown offered her thoughts on Kirk’s passing — and his legacy — in a lengthy post still pinned to her X profile. Words will never be able to convey how devastated we are that Charlie Kirk was taken from us far too soon. I had the honor and privilege of not just knowing Charlie professionally as a fellow warrior in the conservative movement, but as a close friend and my most influential… pic.twitter.com/atGBDlfYUs — Isabel Brown (@theisabelb) September 10, 2025 “He transformed the world.

FBI Director Kash Patel went toe to toe with several Democrats during a Tuesday hearing in the House Judiciary Committee, clashing with Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) over the release of files related to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Raskin, who led the second impeachment hearings during President Donald Trump’s first term, heavily suggested that Patel was stonewalling Democrats in their persistent efforts to make the Epstein files public — efforts in which they showed no interest while former President Joe Biden was in office — and that he was likely doing so at Trump’s request. Patel repeatedly reminded Raskin that numerous court orders prevented him from simply releasing the files.

Jamie Raskin, holds nothing back. pic.twitter.com/LLzsGfrEWx “YOU didn’t join us when we filed in the courts to release the court orders. You could’ve. You have lawyers. You… — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) September 17, 2025 “You were sworn in as director more than 200 days ago. Now the Black Book is under your direct control. So why haven’t you released the names of Epstein’s co-conspirators in the rape and sex trafficking of young women and girls?” Raskin demanded. Patel pointed to the multiple court orders and a previous agreement Epstein had reached with federal prosecutors, noting that the disgraced financier had been free for 12 years and previous administrations — including former President Barack Obama’s — had done nothing to move his case forward. “Has anyone released more information on Epstein than I have? Did Comey? Did Wray?” Patel asked, and Raskin insisted that it wasn’t enough. “Why don’t you just release the entire file as you promised to do?” Raskin asked. “I literally just told you, there are multiple federal court orders, I’m not going to break the law to satisfy your curiosity,” Patel shot back. “You didn’t join us when we filed in the courts to release the court orders. You could’ve. You have lawyers. You could’ve shown up. You didn’t do that!” “That’s a tiny fraction of the material we’re talking about,” Raskin insisted. Patel pointed out that if the information had not been released, Raskin could not possibly know how much information there was. “How do you know that? Have you seen everything?” “It’s all misdirection,” Raskin claimed as his time expired.

Some of us have been obsessed with NFL football for as long as we can remember. Others (myself included) knew little to nothing about the sport until Taylor Swift got a certain boyfriend… Meg seems to be one of these people. Her boyfriend, on the contrary, seems to be quite a big NFL fan. So, one day, they decided to have a little fun by putting Meg’s limited NFL knowledge to the test by guessing team names based solely on their logo. For anyone who is a well seasoned fan, this task would be oh-so-simple. But Meg isn’t a fan like that. In fact, she didn’t even grow up in the United States — she’s from South Africa. In other words, she was bound to not do very well. Luckily, having her make guesses turned out to be hilarious for everyone involved. Watch the video below to see how Meg did! @hughandmeg A broken clock is still right twice a day #football #footballseason #nflteams #nfl #girlfriend ♬ original sound – Hugh & Meg “The Bills and the Bills’ three Sons,” someone hilariously wrote in reply to this couple’s viral video. Other commenters added, “Go Bills (one of them gotta win)” and “Maybe the real Bills, were the friends we made along the way.” Guessing NFL Teams by Their Logos Turns Out to be More Difficult (and Hilarious) Than This Couple Imagined Sure, guessing the same team name over and over might not be the best strategy… but at least she did, eventually, correctly guess the Bills. Now, as you may have noticed, there are still quite a few NFL teams left for Meg to identify. So, without the Bills to guess anymore, Hugh challenged her once more… @hughandmeg Supporting Taylor Swifts fiancés cute little team! #football #nfl #nflteams #nflmemes #girlfriend ♬ original sound – Hugh & Meg If there’s one thing we know about Taylor Swift fans, it’s that they’re going to recognize at least one NFL logo correctly! As for the rest of the teams… well, maybe they should hear Meg out on her own name ideas. “The Pennsylvania Subarus is such an accurate description of the Steelers though. Not flashy but reliable,” one fan pointed out. Another agreed, adding, “You know what, yeah, go Pennsylvania Subarus.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

'Charlie Kirk created a movement'

Republican strategist Scott Jennings cut in

'We are working closely with the victim’s family'

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Investors have approached Angel, seeking to front cash for a feature film about the life of Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk after his assassination in Utah last week. “I’ve had multiple people call me already who have offered to fund Charlie Kirk’s story and to release Charlie Kirk’s story on Angel so that it can reflect the best of our society,” Neal Harmon, CEO of Angel, told The Daily Signal in an interview Tuesday. Angel, the crowd-funded streaming service and film studio responsible for the popular series “The Chosen,” aims to create and distribute stories that amplify light. The company, based in Provo, Utah, grew as a response to the increasing trend toward sexually explicit and nihilistic content in Hollywood. The Angel Guild, a group of 1.5 million members, reviews and votes on episodes and movies to help Angel decide whether to take on a project. In addition to “The Chosen” (a series about Jesus’ disciples), Angel has distributed films such as the box office phenomenon “Sound of Freedom” (a movie about sex trafficking featuring Jim Caviezel, best known for playing Jesus in the 2004 film “The Passion of the Christ”) and last year’s animated hit “The King of Kings.” Investors have approached Angel, expressing interest in a project on Kirk. But following the Angel model, it would be up to the Angel Guild to approve any film for production or distribution. Kirk’s Support for Angel “Charlie was a huge supporter of Angel,” Harmon said. “He brought in tens of thousands of Angel Guild members, and he has two young children, and he cared about what we were doing.” “I definitely think that if Charlie were here today … he’d say we’ve got to win, Angel needs to win as an idea,” the CEO added. “This idea that the audience gets to decide, this idea that we’re going to focus on stories that are true, honest, noble. Where’s the modern version of ‘Twelve Angry Men’ (1957), the modern version of ‘The Swiss Family Robinson’ (1960), or ‘Sound of Music’ (1965)? That’s the kind of stories that are going to surface through the Angel platform.” The Angel CEO said he was “without words” over Kirk’s passing. “Every time that I would see him communicate, he would communicate respectfully,” even when he “vehemently disagreed” with someone, Harmon recalled. “That is what we need more of.” Eerie Echoes Kirk’s assassination happened on the day Angel had been set to release “RFK Legacy,” a film co-directed by Sean Stone and produced by his father, Oliver Stone, which focuses on the legacy of Robert F. Kennedy Sr. through interviews with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Like Kirk, Robert F. Kennedy Sr. died in a political assassination. The day after Kirk’s death, Angel went public on the New York Stock Exchange. “If there were ever a time that we need values-driven entertainment that unites us as a people, it’s now,” Harmon said. “And that’s Angel’s purpose, to find the kind of storytelling that will reflect the best in our decisions.” Movies About Opposing Hitler Harmon addressed the cultural divisions in America, where too many people often compare their political opponents to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Angel released “Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin,” last year, telling the story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor who got executed for opposing the Nazis. “We had lots of people who were saying you needed to release that movie before the election,” the CEO recalled. “We had both sides of the aisle feeling like that movie was calling the other side Hitler.” Next month, Angel will release “Truth & Treason,” a movie about 17-year-old Helmuth Hübener, who wrote anti-Nazi pamphlets and got executed for speaking out against the evil regime. “Whoever we want to throw the Nazi label on, people will do that for their political aim—but where society will be the safest is when people like Helmut have the courage to call a spade a spade, to see truth for what it is, and speak up about it,” Harmon said. He said Kirk, in courageously speaking his mind, “was in the service of the public when he gave his life,” just like Hübener. “That’s the kind of courage that I aspire to and that I would love for my children and for other young people in this country to aspire to.” The CEO reiterated his faith that Charlie Kirk would tell him to make Angel better. “It feels self-serving for me to say this, but I know if Charlie were sitting here today, he’d just say, ‘Yeah, you need to work harder,'” Harmon said. “‘You need to figure out this better. You need to fight so that my girls have a better future and better storytelling.'” The post SCOOP: Investors Are Asking About Supporting a Charlie Kirk Film appeared first on The Daily Signal.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, the third-ranking Republican in the House, is calling on Congress to back President Donald Trump’s Washington, D.C., public safety crackdown with a series of crime bills. Trump “has shown everyone across the country that it is actually possible to make America safe again, if leaders have the will to do it,” Emmer, R-Minn., told The Daily Signal in an exclusive interview. “In the District of Columbia, since he started this D.C. crackdown, crime is way down,” said Emmer. “He has restored law and order like we have not seen in the almost decade that I’ve been around here, and I think especially the young people who are being victimized, assaulted, robbed, I think they will tell you that it’s a new day in the District.” DC Crime Bills To back up Trump’s law enforcement measures in the nation’s capital, House Republicans have a slate of 13 bills to address D.C. crime, with two already passed Tuesday. “We got the DC Crimes Act, which you may have heard of. Rep. Byron Donalds from Florida is the author,” Emmer said, referencing a bill which passed 240-179 through the House, with Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky being the only Republican voting against it. The bill “addresses a problem that we have, because right now, in the District of Columbia, anyone who is under the age of 25 is considered a youth for purposes of sentencing guidelines. It defies common sense,” said Emmer, adding: The DC Crimes Act corrects this by lowering the definition of youth to anyone under 18 years old. If someone’s old enough to vote, they should be old enough to be held accountable for their crimes. Members of the National Guard outside the Capitol. (Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call via Getty Images) Emmer castigated Democrats for opposing it. “Incredibly, 178 Democrats voted against that bill yesterday, which again shows that while Republicans are pro-law and order and are about the safety and security of the American citizen and their property, our Democrat colleagues are clearly pro-crime and pro-criminal,” said Emmer. Additionally, the House passed the D.C. Juvenile Sentencing Reform Act on Tuesday. Introduced by freshman Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, the bill lowers the age at which a minor can be charged for violent crimes in a felony court, as opposed to a juvenile court, from 16 to 14. It passed 225-203 in the House, with Massie again as the only Republican in opposition. “As of last February … juvenile crime in the District was more than twice the national average. As of April this year, juveniles in the District made up 60% of all carjacking arrests,” said Emmer. “Lowering the age at which a minor can be charged as an adult for these crimes is going to keep dangerous criminals off the streets, and it’s going to make other potential criminals think twice before making a life-altering decision.” Emmer once again chided the Democrats who voted against the bill. “202 Democrats voted with the criminals. They prefer the crime, apparently, over the No. 1 job of government, which is to protect the American citizen and his or her property,” he told The Daily Signal. “Republicans are going to side with the American public when it comes to safety and security.” They prefer the crime, apparently, over the No. 1 job of government, which is to protect the American citizen and his or her property,” he told The Daily Signal. “Republicans are going to side with the American public when it comes to safety and security.” Trump’s Comprehensive Crime Bill In August, Trump announced on social media he was working on a comprehensive crime bill with Republican leadership in both houses of Congress. Congress is, at the moment, busy seeking to avoid a government shutdown, as federal funding runs out at the end of the federal fiscal year on Sept. 30. But Emmer told The Daily Signal he expects this crime bill will become law, although it will require local cooperation to be effective. “Absolutely. You’re seeing a lot of the pieces. But keep in mind, the federal government is responsible for the federal laws. It’s going to take local leadership, at the city level, at the county level, at the state level, to enforce their own laws,” said Emmer, adding: “Trump is just showing them how you do it. And in these places where he is threatening to help, those leaders should recognize the reason he’s threatening to help is because he’s hearing from their voters. Their voters are letting the president know, ‘Please help us.’” President Donald Trump (Yasin Ozturk/Anadolu via Getty Images) But on the subject of Washington, D.C., in particular, Emmer thinks it’s a priority and an area where Congress has considerable constitutionally prescribed power. “The District is unique because Congress is responsible for the District. Yes, back in the ’70s, Congress gave the District the ability to have its own council, and other things have developed over time,” Emmer said.  “If one of our members actually brought a bill to dissolve the governing pieces and restore Congress’ direct authority over the District, I’d be supportive of that. I think what this is, is President Trump is showing in particular these failed governors in blue states like mine … this is how you protect your citizens and their property.” The post GOP’s Emmer Hails DC Anti-Crime Bills Passed by House, Urges Support for Trump’s Larger Crackdown appeared first on The Daily Signal.

The U.S. Education Department is partnering with Turning Point USA, Hillsdale College, and others to teach American students about the Constitution, America’s founding ideals, and the responsibilities of citizenship. Education Secretary Linda McMahon on Wednesday launched the America 250 Civics Education Coalition, a partnership of more than 40 organizations to bring civics education to classrooms across the country. The coalition, launched on Constitution Day, commemorates America’s upcoming 250th birthday “with a nationwide effort to reignite passion for our shared heritage, with over 100 events from today through January 1, 2027,” McMahon said. The announcement came one week after the assassination of Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk on Sept. 10 in Utah. Though the coalition was assembled before the 31-year-old’s slaying, members of the coalition said the initiative will honor his efforts to spread patriotism among America’s young people. “Turning Point USA is one of our partners here, and there’s no better organization to help us reach the young people with a love of country and civic literacy, and a determination reflective of Charlie Kirk’s legacy, to spread that far and wide,” said Erika Donalds, co-chair of the coalition and the wife of Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla. The partnership is important, because conservative organizations are joining together to accomplish the goals Charlie stood for,” said Hutz Hertzberg, CEO of Turning Point Academy. “Perhaps even in his death, his influence will extend in even greater ways than it ever could in his life,” Hertzberg said. He said everything changed for Turning Point on the day of Kirk’s death, but nothing changed about its resolve and commitment to its goals. “We’re doubling down. We’re tripling down,” he said. “And that spirit is throughout the entire Turning Point USA staff and family.” Public schools have been indoctrinating students in “radical ideology, including anti-Americanism, and the opposite of foundational American values,” Donalds said in response to a question from The Daily Signal. “That is completely incompatible with the teaching of free speech in America,” Donalds said. “If our students truly understood the Constitution of the United States, they would never think to say that violence in response to speech would be OK. So, the evidence is there, and that is one of the reasons why this coalition exists, because we have to restore true civic literacy in our education institutions, K-12, higher education, and that is going to be what changes our culture going forward.” Hillsdale College President Larry P. Arnn said America is at risk of being lost if we forget the Declaration of Independence. “We’re going to lose our nation if we lose its central idea,” he said, “and therefore, there’s no more urgent work, no more work dispositive of the future, than to read and celebrate and learn about that document.” The post Education Department Honors Charlie Kirk’s Legacy with New Civics Education Program appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Rep. August Pfluger is working to give babies who face being aborted a “second chance at life.”   The Texas Republican congressman is introducing a bill requiring abortion pill providers to inform women seeking such an abortion that it is possible to reversible the effects of the drug if they change their mind about the abortion.  “Far too often, women are pressured into taking the abortion pill without being fully informed of all their options,” Pfluger says. “Tragically, many later express deep regret as they come to terms with the loss of their unborn child.”   Mifepristone is part of a two-drug regimen to complete what is commonly referred to as a chemical or medication abortion. A woman seeking to have a chemical abortion will first take mifepristone, which blocks the progesterone hormone from the baby, killing the child. Misoprostol is taken one to two days later and causes contractions to dispel the baby from the mother’s uterus.   Today, about two-thirds of abortions are done using the chemical abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol.  If a woman takes mifepristone and then decides she does not want to continue with the abortion, a treatment exists to reverse the effects of the abortion pill.   Abortion pill reversal uses progesterone to reverse the effects of mifepristone to save the life of the unborn child. Pfluger’s bill, which he will introduce Thursday, would require an abortion pill provider, meaning any person licensed to perform a chemical abortion, to inform women that abortion pill reversal exists as an option should she change her mind.   The bill requires, except in cases of medical emergency, chemical abortion providers to inform patients either by phone or in person at least 24 hours before the chemical abortion that “it may be possible to reverse the intended effects of a mifepristone-induced chemical abortion,” the bill’s text reads.   The bill also requires information related to chemical abortion pill reversal be made available on the Department of Health and Human Services’ website.   Second Chance of Life Act of 2025Download “It is unacceptable that so many women are never told by their provider that the effects of the first pill can be reversible,” Pfluger said. “That’s why I am introducing common sense legislation to close this critical information gap.”   “My Second Chance at Life Act establishes federal informed-consent requirements for the abortion bill, ensuring women receive complete and accurate information about the pill and its potential reversal,” the Texas congressman said. “This will empower women to make fully informed choices at every stage of the process, protecting their right to know the full details before taking any medication and safeguarding their unborn child’s chance at life.”  The bill further requires any facility that provides women with abortion pills to post a sign that is clearly visible to patients that reads:   Research has indicated that mifepristone alone is not always effective in ending a pregnancy and that its effects can be blocked or reversed if the second pill has not yet been taken. If you change your mind prior to taking the second pill and desire to attempt to save your pregnancy, consult with a health care professional immediately.  Abortion pill reversal has the “significant potential” to save the life of the unborn child, but also to spare the mother “from a lifetime of regrets, and instead give her a lifetime of memories with her child,” says Dr. Christina Francis, a board-certified OB-GYN and CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists.   If the bill is passed and signed into law, abortion providers who fail to adhere to the Second Chance at Life Act may face civil action before the appropriate federal district court.   Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., first introduced the bill in the 118th Congress, but it was not voted on.   The Second Chance at Life Act has drawn support from Republican Reps. Doug LaMalfa of California., Ron Estes of Kansas, Barry Moore of Alabama, Marlin Stutzman of Indiana, Sheri Biggs of South Carolina, Craig Goldman of Texas, and John Moolenaar of Michigan. Organizations supporting the bill include Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life, National Right to Life, and Students for Life.  The post EXCLUSIVE: Lawmaker Aims to Give Babies Faced With Being Aborted a ‘Second Chance at Life’    appeared first on The Daily Signal.
