Episode 312: Charlie Kirk

New York State Senator Dean Murray joins me to discuss the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10th 2025. Charlie Kirk was a conservative political commentator and founder of Turning Point USA. He was assassinated while engaging in open and free debate with college students at Utah Valley University. We discuss where we can go as a country after this, how his assassination has stoked fear of utilizing our first amendment rights for fear of reprisal and comment on the shock we have regarding the cruelty shown to Mr. Kirk in death.
