This is Hidden Killers Live with Tony Bursky, Stacey Cole, and Todd Michaels.

Well, here we are again.

Another day in America, we're after a horrible tragedy, we're here to talk about it.

And I don't know why, but this one feels different.

We're going to talk about why that is. Of course, we're talking about the assassination of Charlie Kirk,

which occurred in Utah at a college campus just yesterday, the 10th of September 2025.

The Tinderbox in America feels like it just kind of blew up.

What happens next?

Why did this take place?

And what does this change as we go forward? Here we are on the 24th anniversary

of 9-11 discussing all of this and to help us do that. Shavon Scott, psychotherapist and author,

Stacey Cole, Todd Michaels, all with us this morning. I'm just going to throw it out there at this.

Chavon, why do you think this one seems to hit different for a lot of Americans?

The sad truth is that I think for a large section of the country, we are already living in a civil war, a civil war of ideas. Both sides are not

shooting at each other yet, but on an emotional level, it's, it's, you use the word Tinderbox.

It's an incredibly intense and fraught time in the country. And I think when people have a political

leader that they look up to, that person

becomes symbolic for everything that they believe in. And so an attack on their leader really

hits them hard. It's like the general was killed, you know, and I did not follow Charlie Kirk.

I tend to personally stay away from people that would go in the extremist category, no matter what side they're on.

Because I like to just get the facts and then come to my own opinions based on that.

But a lot of people were very emotionally invested in his message.
