One year after the murder of Charlie Kirk, the questions, theories and political fallout haven't gone away. If anything, they've gotten louder.

In this episode of THIS WITH KRISH, I take a neutral look at what has happened since September 10, 2025 — from the case against Tyler Robinson and the upcoming trial to the explosion of conspiracy theories surrounding Charlie's death.

We talk about Candace Owens, Erika Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Turning Point USA, Israel, conservative media, and the growing battle over who gets to define Charlie Kirk's legacy.

But there's a bigger story here.

What has the last year done to the Republican Party?

Instead of Charlie's death uniting conservatives, we've watched increasingly bitter fights erupt within the movement. MAGA vs. establishment Republicans. America First vs. traditional foreign-policy conservatives. Candace vs. Turning Point. Tucker vs. other conservative voices. Israel. Epstein. Immigration. Foreign wars. Loyalty tests. And seemingly endless accusations about who is — and isn't — a "real conservative."

We also separate what we know about the Tyler Robinson case from what remains allegation, speculation or conspiracy theory. Robinson has pleaded not guilty, and the evidence will ultimately have to withstand scrutiny in court.

This episode isn't about telling you what to believe.

It's about asking better questions.

When does healthy skepticism become conspiracy?

When does political disagreement become hatred?

Has social media made us more interested in discovering the truth — or simply more interested in proving our side right?

And perhaps most importantly: Has the Republican Party become so consumed with fighting itself that it's damaging its own future?

Charlie Kirk built his career debating people who disagreed with him. One year after his murder, America may need that philosophy more than ever.

Argue. Debate. Challenge. Vote.

But everybody gets to go home.

BACK TO SCHOOL is here — and parents everywhere are feeling it.

Families aren't imagining it. School supplies, clothes, shoes, electronics, activities, lunches and everything else that comes with starting a new school year have become a serious expense.

After our This Newsroom article about the cost of Back to School crossed more than 50,000 views within its first few hours, I knew we needed to have a bigger conversation.

Because this isn't just about inflation.

It's about families.

In this episode of THIS WITH KRISH, we break down what Back to School really costs in 2026, where all that money is going, and some practical hacks parents can use to save money without making their kids feel like they're missing out.

But this episode becomes much more personal.

My wife Shannon is beginning her 10th year teaching young minds. Liam is now eight, balancing school with his passion for competitive golf, and little Brynlee is four and experiencing those magical early school years.

And watching them reminds me of something:

There will be another August.

There will be another school year.

But there will never be another first day when your child is exactly this age.

So while we're counting dollars this Back to School season, maybe we should also be counting moments.

Take the picture. Write the lunchbox note. Thank the teacher. Ask about their day. And actually listen to the answer.

Because the days can feel incredibly long.

The years are unbelievably short.

Welcome to THIS WITH KRISH.

Faith. Family. Freedom. At the center of truth.

When your kid starts playing competitive sports, something incredible happens: suddenly EVERYONE becomes a coach.

Parents. Grandparents. Friends. Other parents. The guy at the driving range. Everyone has a tip, a correction, a swing thought, or an opinion.

But even good advice at the wrong time can become bad advice.

In this episode of THIS WITH KRISH, I talk about youth sports from the perspective of a parent raising an 8-year-old competitive junior golfer. We get into coaching, parental pressure, practice, motivation, winning, losing, tournament expectations, and one of the hardest lessons for sports parents to learn:

Sometimes the best thing you can do is stop coaching and just be Mom or Dad.

Your child's coach can analyze mechanics. The leaderboard can measure performance. The stats can show improvement.

But home should be the place where their performance doesn't determine how they're treated.

We talk about:

• Why parents shouldn't automatically become their child's coach • How conflicting advice can hurt young athletes • Internal motivation vs. parental pressure • The dreaded ride-home tournament analysis • Why your body language matters after a bad shot • Helping kids handle winning AND losing • Protecting a child's love for their sport • Why an 8-year-old athlete is still an 8-year-old kid • The three questions every adult should ask before giving a junior athlete advice • Why sometimes the best sports-parenting advice is simply: let the kid play

If you're raising a competitive golfer, baseball player, soccer player, basketball player, gymnast, swimmer, football player, or any young athlete, this episode is for you.

The goal isn't to raise an 8-year-old champion.

The goal is to help raise a confident, resilient kid who still loves the game when he's 18.

Let the coach coach.

Let the kid play.

And sometimes, just enjoy watching your kid do something they love.
