Episode Description
The assassination of Charlie Kirk, slain by a politically motivated shooter, will shift our politics markedly in the coming months and years. Director and Senior Analyst for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism at the Center for Security Policy Kyle Shideler joins the hosts this week to share memories of the man and unmask the far-left networks that are responsible for recent political violence. Particularly under the Obama and Biden administrations, vague threat-level categories were created to asymmetrically bring the hammer down on extremist groups, allowing far-left extremism to slip by and foment. Yet the knee-jerk reaction to use "hate speech" laws and censorship is a notion best warded off; instead, correct designation of terror groups and fund tracing is urgently needed to diffuse modern terror threats at home and abroad. Plus: related reading and other media recommendations!
