Summary

We dedicate this entire episode to the life, thought, and assassination of right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk. We discuss his views on race, Israel, LGBT- and gender ideology (among other issues). We also cover the various ways people have responded to his murder (with everything from sadness to glee). We conclude with some thoughts on political violence more broadly, and when (or whether) it will ever stop.
