Brendan and I talk briefly about a rules change in the Senate that no one noticed because everyone was focused on the murder of Charlie Kirk. And then we talk about the murder of Charlie Kirk.
You’ll probably hear some takes that are at least a little different from what you’ll find elsewhere. There’s a lot, from Nick Fuentes and Laura Loomer to gun laws and the demonization of transgender people to the idea of building a statue of Kirk for the Capitol. There’s our take on Josh Shapiro lowering the flag in Pennsylvania and Ezra Klein saying Kirk practiced politics “in exactly the right way.” Was Kirk really engaging in a healthy debate with the left?
We also talk about whether people should or should not watch the graphic video of the shooting, and how it might affect their response. Relatedly, we discuss the undeniable fact that many seemingly normal and decent people were pleased that Kirk was murdered and why that it is and what it means.
I’d tell you more, but then you’d have no need to listen.
