Constitution, Conviction, and Competition • Best 60ish Seconds

Charlie has always believed the Constitution deserves more attention than it gets. Signed in Philadelphia in 1787, it remains a remarkable guide to freedom and self-government—and this week, he encourages every American to take a few minutes and read it.

With the third anniversary of October 7 approaching, Charlie stands firmly with Israel and its determination to pursue those responsible for the Hamas attacks. He also has strong words for the antisemitism we continue to see, including the controversy that led to Macklemore’s removal from Ed Sheeran’s tour.

The conversation then turns to the growing number of international athletes in American college sports. Charlie argues the balance has shifted too far and is now costing opportunities for American students.

Finally, Charlie wishes our Jewish friends a meaningful Yom Kippur and G’mar Chatima Tova as the sacred Day of Atonement is observed. And, reluctantly, he bids farewell to summer while thanking God for every season.
