World Mourns Loss Of Last American Who Genuinely Believed You Could Change Someone’s Mind

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A compelling new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting President Donald Trump issued an ultimatum to all of his NATO allies in Europe last week, ordering them stop buying Russian oil, seize frozen Russian assets and sanction China and India for buying Russian oil, says he also warned in his ultimatum: “This is not TRUMP’S WAR, it is Biden’s and Zelenskyy’s WAR...I am only here to help stop it, and save thousands of Russian and Ukrainian lives...If NATO does as I say, the WAR will end quickly, and all of those lives will be saved!...If not, you are just wasting my time, and the time, energy, and money of the United States”.

In response to the ultimatum issued by President Trump, this report notes, yesterday it saw European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen rejecting Trump’s order to place sanctions on China and IndiaFrench President Emmanuel Macron rejected Trump’s order to seize frozen Russian assets warning: “When some countries start to disrespect international laws this is the beginning of a total chaos”—and European Commissioner for Economy and Productivity Valdis Dombrovskis announced in defiance of Trump’s order: “The new package of EU anti-Russian sanctions will not include restrictions on the purchase of oil from Russia”.

While being openly defied by all of his NATO allies in Europe, this report continues, President Trump announced plans to designate what he described as a “vast domestic terror movement” threatening American safety as terrorist organizations—an announcement joined by FBI Director Kash Patel informing the American peoples yesterday: “As the Director of the FBI, I am committed to ensuring the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination is thorough and exhaustive, pursuing every lead to its conclusion...The full weight of America’s law enforcement agencies are actively following the evidence that has emerged, but our efforts extend beyond initial findings...We are examining every facet of this assassination...We are meticulously investigating theories and questions, including the location from where the shot was taken, the possibility of accomplices, the text message confession and related conversations, Discord chats, the angle of the shot and bullet impact, how the weapon was transported, hand gestures observed as potential “signals” near Charlie at the time of his assassination, and visitors to the alleged shooter’s residence in the hours and days leading up to September 10, 2025”.

As over 100,000 peoples gathered in person and tens-of-millions from all around the world watched the memorial service for Christian martyr Charlie Kirk yesterday, this report details, it was also revealed: “A report from Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) released this week suggested that Gen Z appears to be charting a different political course than Millennials...The DDHQ analysis indicated Democrats had lost ground among young voters in voter registration, particularly young men, during the 2024 cycle...The same report showed that, while Democratic registration among young white women remained consistent with historical norms at 47 percent, Democratic registration among young white men, historically around 49 percent, had fallen to 29 percent...The report also found modest losses among young nonwhite women”.

In analyzing the effect the brutal assassination death of Christian martyr Charlie Kirk will have on young American voters, this report concludes, world-renowned American elder statesman William Bennett, in his just released open letter “What Charlie Kirk’s Murder Tells Us About The American Mind”, warningly observed:

"The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity".

William Butler Yeats wrote those words about Europe after the Great War, but they ring with terrible clarity this week as we bury Charlie Kirk, murdered at 31 for the crime of arguing in public.

The young man who built an empire of discourse from a suburban garage has been silenced by someone who apparently found bullets more persuasive than words.

But here is what strikes me as I reflect on this tragedy: Charlie Kirk may have been the last American who genuinely believed you could change someone's mind with a good argument.

Think about that.  When was the last time you saw someone actually switch positions during a debate?  When did you last witness someone say three of the most treasured words in the English language: "I was wrong?"

My younger son understood this belief.  He called me after Kirk’s death and shared something that possibly captured our national descent.  "Dad", he said, "I used to be like Charlie Kirk— I used to think people could be persuaded with reason".

My son learned otherwise during the 2016 election, while in graduate school.  He started getting several calls a day from classmates wanting to understand how he could support someone they genuinely believed was the modern-day equivalent of Hitler.  These graduate students—educated, intelligent people pursuing MBAs—literally thought Trump was on par with Hitler and were calling my son because they could not reconcile how someone like him could support such evil.

So, in good faith, he engaged everyone who contacted him.  From his own account: "I came to business school to learn things like accounting, not to practice defending myself from being called a Nazi.  I lost friends through this period, and it ended up being one of the hardest times of my life".

Let me advance an unconventional thesis: Charlie Kirk died because we have forgotten how to hate properly.

G.K. Chesterton observed that "the true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind [or next to] him".  We fight not for hatred of our enemies but love of our fellow soldiers and the ideals of our country.

We have inverted this wisdom.  We teach our young people to hate their opponents rather than love their own principles.  We have made politics a blood sport precisely because we have drained it of transcendent meaning.  When you believe in nothing greater than your own righteousness, the only thing left is to destroy those who challenge your certainty.

As my son lost friends, he did something quite understandable.  Shortly after Trump's election, he stopped actively participating in politics—watching the news, talking about it with friends, and reading the articles he used to read daily.  "I found myself getting physically uncomfortable when the news came on", he told me.  "Defending yourself against being called a Nazi, racist, sexist, endlessly just for communicating relatively common-sense ideas like boys go to the boys' bathroom and girls go to the girls' bathroom, or that throwing Molotov cocktails into police cars is a bad idea (something a classmate of his actually did during the George Floyd protests) just gets really draining after a while".

My son learned a hard, unfortunate lesson during graduate school, one countless other students have learned in recent years.  The modern university, where Kirk met his end, has become the opposite of what John Henry Newman envisioned when he wrote "The Idea of a University".  Newman imagined institutions where "a habit of mind is formed which lasts through life, of which the attributes are freedom, equitableness, calmness, moderation, and wisdom". 

Instead, we have created factories of fragility, where students pay $70,000 a year to have their prejudices confirmed and their triggers avoided.

The founders would have recognized Charlie immediately.  Franklin with his junto, Hamilton with his newspapers, Jefferson with his correspondence, they all understood that democracy is an argument, not an answer.  Madison wrote in Federalist 10 about the dangers of faction, but he never imagined we would solve the problem of faction with assassination.

Here is another unconventional thought: The problem is not that our universities are too political.  They are not political in the classical sense of "political" that Aristotle meant when he called man a political animal.  The university problem is that they are factories of indoctrination, especially in the liberal arts.  Real politics requires engagement with difference, the ability to live alongside those you disagree with, the skill of persuasion rather than coercion.  Our campuses have replaced politics with theology, and a particularly intolerant theology at that.

My son concluded his reflection with words that haunt me: "In those moments, having made the wrong choice at that juncture many times before, I hope I have the conviction and bravery to live it like Charlie and live it like Bill".  He meant Charlie Kirk, of course.  The other Bill he referenced was his father — me.  I am humbled by the comparison but troubled by his confession.  While he admittedly tossed his hat out of the ring, and entered the non-political world of finance, he has found his comfort and happiness.  But at what cost to our society?

This is what we have done to our young people.  We have made the cost of conviction so high that capable, principled people retreat from public engagement entirely.  We have created a world where it is safer to be silent than to speak, safer to conform than to question, safer to hide than to stand.  There is a certain relief in that.  But it does not come without a cost.

The question before us is not whether we will have more Charlie Kirks—young people willing to brave hostility for their beliefs.  We will.  The question is whether we will have more like my son—capable people who retreat from public engagement because the cost has become too high.  Few of the brightest people I know dream of entering politics—they dream of venture capital, private equity, the places where talent can still flourish without ideological inquisition.  It makes brutal sense: Make enough money, and perhaps you can affect the change you want to see in society, safely insulated from the mob.

If we cannot make America safe for argument again—not just civil argument, but vigorous, passionate, even angry argument—then we should stop pretending we live in a democracy.

In its literal etymological sense, democracy means "power of the people"—today it feels more like power of the perpetually aggrieved.  If you are not consumed with rage, you are at home raising your family and going to work.  So radical political movements naturally attract the angriest among us, not necessarily the wisest.

Charlie Kirk is dead at 31, but the idea he represented—that Americans can argue their way to truth rather than shoot their way to silence—must not die with him. 

My son's generation deserves better than the choice between silence and death.

They deserve what Charlie Kirk tried to give them: a place at the table, a voice in the conversation, and the right to speak without being murdered for it.  Our children and grandchildren deserve it.
