Hey folks,
Joe Walsh and I went deep on the show this week to process the shock, grief, and fallout from Charlie Kirk's assassination. Whether you agreed with him or not, what happened was horrifying. We got honest about our own complicated relationships with Kirk, the dangerous rise in political violence, and what this moment demands from all of us.
01:13 — Joe reflects on his personal history with Charlie Kirk, calling him "like a son," and unpacks the painful split caused by Trumpism.
03:00 — I talk about mourning someone you fundamentally disagree with—and why showing compassion doesn’t mean absolving hate.
09:00 — We break down what we know about the shooter, including the bizarre bullet inscriptions and early signs of radicalization.
14:01 — We explore the root causes of this violence: disaffected men, online extremism, and the loneliness epidemic no one wants to solve.
26:12 — Joe sounds the alarm on the influencer takeover of government—and what it means when provocateurs are setting national policy.
Don’t miss this one. This is an emotionally raw, politically urgent conversation about where we go from here. If you care about saving our democracy from the forces trying to rip it apart, this is essential viewing.
With urgency,
—Mike
