S2E27 – In this episode, the brothers are joined by their brother-in-law, Kirt, an independent voice, to unpack the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk. The discussion explores the dangers of political violence, the influence of social media on polarization, and the responsibilities of leaders in either cooling or inflaming national tensions. Drawing parallels to the turmoil of the 1960s and moments like Watergate, the conversation wrestles with whether America is nearing a breaking point—or if this could be a turning point toward renewed civil discourse.
