0:00.0	So the murder of Charlie Kirk right in front of his family and thousands of students for the crime, for the heinous crime of debating with students has a lot of people saying that this changes everything.
0:13.3	Now, this is not the first time somebody has been murdered for their values.
0:18.3	It's not the first time somebody has been murdered for either their faith
0:21.9	or their political positions. But I agree. I agree that this does change everything.
0:31.0	This is going to change the way that we see things going forward. But one of the things I've
0:35.1	noticed is a lot of people talking about this changes everything,
0:39.1	haven't gone into great deal about why it changes everything, and what exactly has changed.
0:46.5	And if we don't get those two, if we don't get answers to those two questions, why and what,
0:53.3	then we're going to come up with a lot of solutions
0:55.4	that don't make sense. And in fact, we're seeing a lot of solutions offered as to what

1:14.1	And we're going to specifically talk about what has changed.
1:17.1	And we're going to look at this from the perspective of the left.
1:19.9	We're going to look at it from the perspective of the right.
1:22.5	And we're also going to look at it from the perspective of people that don't fall neatly into either of those categories.
1:27.1	And we're going to analyze all of that. And hopefully we're going to be able to come to some good
1:30.5	conclusions because without proper analysis, we can't effectively talk about what happens next
1:37.9	because I'll tell you this much. It cannot continue the way it has before.
1:43.3	All of that coming up on this episode of making the argument.
1:45.8	I'm your host, Nick Freitas with me in the studio,
1:47.6	my beautiful bride, Tina Queen of the Bees.
