This afternoon, right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University. Videos show Kirk recoiling after a gunshot, blood visible on his neck as the crowd panicked. A suspect — described as an elderly man — is already in custody.
In this episode, we break down what we know: the scene at the event, how quickly it unfolded, and the immediate reactions from lawmakers, President Trump, and the public. We also place it in context — from Trump’s ties to Kirk to the broader climate of political violence in America.
It’s a story about power, politics, and how quickly order can unravel.
