Play ball with the GOP or let the government shut down? It's a tug he'll have to figure out quickly.

On this episode of The Annie Frey Show, recorded on September 11, 2025, Annie and her guests reflect on the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Joined by Fox News contributor Joe Concha and Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe, the show explores the enduring impact of 9/11, the rise of political violence, and the loss of an influential voice in American conservatism. From heartfelt tributes to discussions on national unity, free speech, and the state of Missouri, this episode captures the weight of a nation grappling with grief and resilience. Tune in for a powerful conversation that honors the past while confronting today's challenges.

On this solemn Sept. 11 episode of The Annie Frey Show, Annie reflects on the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, the emotional gravity of 9/11, and what it means to live with purpose, conviction and faith. Drawing from personal experience and Scripture, Annie shares a heartfelt message about fear, courage, and how Kirk's legacy goes far beyond politics.

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe joins Annie Frey to reflect on the weight of Sept. 11, 2025 — a day marked by national remembrance and the shock of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Speaking fresh from a 9/11 ceremony in Jefferson City, Kehoe discusses the importance of unity, his personal connection to first responders, and the rise in political violence. He also addresses Missouri's recent moves on redistricting, law enforcement, and the state's role in reclaiming safety in cities like St. Louis. Kehoe offers insight on how Missouri is leading with common-sense conservatism and explains why he believes America must return to its founding principles of peaceful debate and mutual respect.

Fox News contributor and Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha joins Annie Frey to reflect on a somber day for America — the anniversary of Sept. 11 and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Concha, who knew Kirk personally, shares emotional memories and offers sharp analysis on the rising hostility in political rhetoric and its real-world consequences. He discusses the media's role in shaping public perception, the dangers of unchecked political language, and why he believes the country has drifted too far from the unity seen in the days following 9/11. Concha also speaks candidly about fatherhood, faith, and what he sees as the growing divide between “common sense” and “chaos” in American discourse.

Annie is joined by Hans von Spakovsky—senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, former FEC commissioner, and DOJ lawyer—to reflect on a nation reeling from tragedy. With the country already remembering the heartbreak of September 11th, the assassination of Charlie Kirk casts a new and painful shadow. Von Spakovsky offers sharp insight into the dangerous decline of civil discourse, the weaponization of language in politics, and the chilling environment on American college campuses. Together, Annie and Hans examine how rhetoric can fuel violence, the DOJ's troubling priorities, and whether Americans still have the ability—or willingness—to stand together when it matters most.
