Charlie Kirk
from Bald, Blind, and Buddies Hosted by Timothy Cordes
Timothy Cordes and John Boland reflect on free speech and violence after Charley Kirk’s assassination. Charley was killed for doing what we are supposed to, engaging in dialogue. Charley Kirk leaves behind a wife and two children. John calls out President Trump’s rhetoric and Tim asserts that speech is not the problem—it is people and ideologies who want to bar entry to the arena of ideas. Both agree that speech is not violence. John wonders why this is an American problem. John’s whack-job is Joseph Ladapo, the Surgeon General of Florida. Tim shares his hero.
