Hey folks,
I sat down with my friend Rotimi Adeoye for a raw, personal, and deeply necessary conversation about the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the deeper currents of political violence, male isolation, and radicalization in America. We didn’t hold back. If you care about this moment and what it means for our democracy, this is a must-watch.
Here’s what we got into:
[00:00:58] Trump’s missed moment to unite the country: Rotimi breaks down the leadership vacuum in the aftermath of the shooting—and what it says about who we are right now.
[00:04:16] Rage, blame, and the failure to solve anything: I talk about the cycle of grief and anger that’s drowning out real solutions to political violence and mental health.
[00:06:48] The radicalization pipeline for young men online: Rotimi dives into the toxic influence of figures like Nick Fuentes and how hate is being monetized—and weaponized—by platforms.
[00:13:00] Guns, parenting, and the cost of disconnection: I share my own story of buying a firearm to protect my family, and what it’s taught me about fear, responsibility, and how we raise boys.
[00:17:02] The crisis of meaning for American men: We get brutally honest about what happens when young men are cut off from opportunity, empathy, and purpose—and who’s waiting to fill that void.
With urgency,
—Mike
