Charlie Kirk has died after being shot at Utah Valley University. In this episode, I sit with the shock, the disbelief, and the anger of what this moment says about where we are as a country.
This isn’t just about one man. It’s about how political violence is becoming part of American life — and how the media machine will immediately turn his death into narrative, into propaganda, into content. To some, Kirk will be a martyr. To others, a warning. But to all of us, he should be a reminder of how fragile this democracy has become.
I talk about why truth is so hard to find in this environment, how propaganda and profit shape every headline, and why it matters now more than ever to step back, read for yourself, and see the patterns. Because once you understand how information is used, you understand power.
This is a sad day for America. A day I’ll remember. And it’s exactly why this show exists.
