It's a fair point to say that, at least in recent history, no other country in the

Western world can take the unfortunate title of having as much political violence as the United

States of America.

Assassinations both successful and unsuccessful have been recorded in the States from as early as the 19th century,

with notable mentions given to President Abraham Lincoln, President John F. Kennedy, civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr.,

and even recently two attempted assassinations of President Donald Trump. Who would have guessed that would have happened?

These acts of political violence have seemingly become a norm in the USA, particularly in recent

years, with the population becoming more polarized by the day.

And of course, where assassinations happen, conspiracies often follow close behind.

That's why today, on Red Thread, we're looking into the assassination of Charlie Kirk,

America's most beloved US president. Welcome everyone to Red Thread.

A very interesting episode we got on the docket today.

I'm very pleased to have the most preeminent expert on political violence in Australia

joining us for this week's episode.

Say hello, Kira.

She's, she's, I'm telling you, she's an assassin. We've got to be careful of her. If any

Australian Prime Minister steps out of line, she's first on the shooting block.

Right there. No, actual expert on the political... From the University of Life. And life related health goods

as well. She is entrepreneur slash professor Kira. Yeah. It's absolutely pleasure to have you here.

And thank you so much for talking about this. Now, the first question obviously is, is it true that Charlie was in fact a president of the United States, as Jackson

suggested in the first place? Absolutely. That's who we voted for, at least.

Wikipedia said otherwise, but that's why you can't trust it, can you?
