Summary

In this raw and emotional episode of the Opie Radio podcast, Opie broadcasts live from New York City on the morning after a heavy September 11th, marked by the lingering sorrow of the anniversary and the shocking assassination of political commentator Charlie Kirk. Opie dives into the deep political divide in America, lamenting the loss of civil discourse and the inability to find common ground. He critiques the media’s role in fueling polarization, reflects on the desensitization to violence in the digital age, and questions the suspicious circumstances surrounding Kirk’s death. Shifting gears, Opie also explores recent UFO revelations, pondering humanity’s place in the universe and whether aliens are just passing by our "primitive" planet. From heartfelt calls for unity to lighter moments about the San Gennaro Festival, this episode is a rollercoaster of frustration, hope, and a yearning for simpler times when debates ended with a beer. Join Opie as he grapples with America’s current state and looks for a path forward.
