The week’s most unsettling headline dropped out of Utah: far-right agitator Charlie Kirk has been shot dead at a university event, a shocking act of political violence in an already overheated United States.
On Social Meltdown, Graeme and Dylan sift through what’s confirmed, what’s conspiracy, and why this matters far beyond one man’s fate.
Kirk built his brand by pushing anti-LGBTQ talking points, anti women's rights, spreading election lies, and culture-war outrage—and now his killing risks turning him into a martyr for the very movement he helped radicalise.
Answering messages from listeners, we talk about the shooter’s reported motives, the rumours of a mysterious plane that “went dark,” and what this says about a society where toxic rhetoric and collapsing trust make violent flashpoints feel inevitable.
A brutally honest look at how democracies crack when hate becomes a business model.
