Fox News’ Outnumbered this week ran a flashback to Charlie Kirk’s Thanksgiving message, reminding Americans what real gratitude—and real leadership—looks like in a time of cultural chaos. The segment replayed Kirk’s call to put God, family, and country first, and noted how Turning Point’s work continues even as the movement mourns. For patriots tired of the hollow pageantry of modern politics, those simple virtues are a welcome rebuke to the endless noise from the left-leaning elites.
Kirk’s Thanksgiving remarks from November 2024 were plainspoken and unapologetic: step away from screens, count your blessings, and recognize a higher hand in our lives. He urged Americans to practice humility and faith, not selfies and grievance, insisting gratitude strengthens families and communities. That message landed then and lands again now because it speaks to something the left refuses to understand—society is built, not on resentment, but on responsibility and sacrifice.
The backdrop to this flashback is painful but instructive: Charlie Kirk was fatally shot on September 11, 2025, and his death has only crystallized what he fought for. Instead of silencing his ideas, his passing has accelerated a movement of young conservatives who are more determined than ever to defend liberty and tradition. Turning Point’s continued growth is proof that truth outlasts the anger of the moment and that principled organizing can survive even the worst attempts to intimidate it.
Let’s be blunt: the mainstream media tried for years to dismiss Kirk as a provocateur while ignoring the substance of his message—faith, civic duty, and a love for America’s founding. Now those same outlets scramble to memorialize him while still failing to reckon with the toxic rage they helped cultivate in the culture wars. Americans who value free speech and peaceful civic engagement should demand accountability for the rhetoric that degrades political life and inspires violence.
On this Thanksgiving, conservatives have a clear duty: honor Kirk’s call by being present for family, by praying, and by mentoring the next generation of patriots. Turn off the devices long enough to listen and to teach; the future of our republic depends on men and women who will pass down courage, faith, and common sense. Support for organizations that train young leaders is not optional—it is patriotic stewardship.
Charlie Kirk’s legacy is now larger than any one man; it’s a challenge to a nation drifting toward cynicism and surrender. If we take his Thanksgiving exhortation seriously, we will rebuild institutions, restore civil society, and refuse to let the left define what it means to be American. That is the work of gratitude made visible, and it is the proper way to honor a fallen leader who loved this country fiercely.
