There are weeks that pass by without much fanfare, and then there are weeks like this one—where memory, meaning, and milestones all seem to come together in ways you can’t quite put into words. But I’ll try.
This past week, Salem Media of New York hosted our annual cruise around Manhattan aboard the beautiful yacht Atlantis. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of sailing under the skyline with perfect weather overhead, you know what a gift it is. Add to that a gathering of pastors, advertisers, clients, and dear friends who have made this year such a success, and it was truly a night to remember.
Two of my favorite people—Linda Perillo and Cristyne Nicholas—were aboard with my lovely bride sharing in the joy. As the evening began, voices lifted in unison with “God Bless America.” There was no pomp, no performance—just a heartfelt chorus from a group of people who love their country. In the wake of losing our friend Charlie Kirk, that song carried an especially sobering weight. It reminded us that freedom, faith, and fellowship are gifts not to be taken for granted.
As the evening unfolded, Captain Fred, who never fails to deliver, kept us gliding smoothly past the city’s most iconic landmarks. He always seems to know how to create just the right atmosphere, and this year—with the weather cooperating perfectly—it could not have been scripted any better. The night culminated in front of the Statue of Liberty, where Colonel Kurt Schlichter engaged us in a thoughtful, spirited discussion. To stand before Lady Liberty herself, listening to Kurt’s words about courage and conviction, was a stirring moment. It was the perfect capstone to a gathering that celebrated not just success in business, but shared values and shared hope.
Welcoming MedJet to the Family
Another milestone this week was one I’m personally thrilled about: welcoming MedJet into the That Passport Life family. If you haven’t heard of them, MedJet is a membership-based medical transport and crisis response service that provides extraordinary peace of mind while traveling.
As a husband and a father, I cannot stress enough the confidence this coverage provides. For as little as $99 for an individual, or just $575 for an entire family for a full year, you can travel knowing that if the worst happens—a medical emergency far from home, an accident overseas—MedJet takes the worry off your shoulders. They’ll get you to the hospital you want, back home to the doctors you trust, and provide the kind of protection you hope you’ll never need, but would give anything to have if the moment comes.
It’s not just a product—it’s a safety net, a layer of assurance that allows families like mine (and maybe yours) to travel boldly and confidently. I can’t recommend it enough. Go see for yourself at medjet.com/kevin. Unparalleled protection at an unreal price
Remembering Charlie Kirk in New Jersey
Wednesday night brought another unforgettable moment, this time in North Jersey. With the governor’s race looming in 2025, word spread quickly that there would be a vigil in memory of Charlie Kirk. Originally booked at an eatery with just 100 seats, the response was overwhelming—200 RSVPs came in almost immediately. The event was moved to a VFW hall that could seat 300, but by the time I took the podium, more than 600 people had packed inside, spilling into aisles and hallways. It was a moving sight: ordinary citizens, pastors, community leaders, and families gathered shoulder to shoulder, united by grief, gratitude, and the conviction that Charlie’s work and witness must not be forgotten.
What’s Ahead
Finally, a reminder: my television program, That Kevin Show, airs every Saturday morning at 8 AM Eastern on the Salem News Channel. This week’s broadcast will be especially meaningful, as we honor the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk—one day before his historic memorial service. If you miss the live airing, you can catch the show at 9 PM Eastern on the Salem Radio Network, or on BizTV at both 9 PM and 11 PM Eastern. And of course, past episodes, daily radio segments, and my weekly Townhall.com columns can always be found at ThatKEVINShow.com.
We’re also unveiling a brand-new look for the set this week—fresh, sharp, and built for the conversations that matter most. I hope you’ll tune in and join us.
From the deck of the Atlantis to the halls of Salem, from new partnerships like MedJet to new frontiers for our show, it’s been a week of both reflection and excitement. And as always, I’m grateful that you’re on this journey with me.
Until next week,
Kevin
