In Episode 73 – “The Man Who Debated Everyone” of Think Pieces and Conversations, I dig into the life, legacy, and recent passing (September 10, 2025) of Charlie Kirk—a figure who was never afraid to go mic-for-mic, voice-for-voice, on any college campus, in any debate, anywhere.
We’ll talk about:
- The shock and the pain of seeing people celebrate his death—through tweets, reels, and social media posts—that I’ve found deeply disturbing.
- What made him so brave: his willingness to face opponents, speak up, defend his beliefs in public and powerful places.
- His role as an influencer in the 2024 election, including his impact, his reach, and what it said about American politics and culture.
- My recent travels to New Jersey and New York, exploring the different energies of Montclair versus New York City—even though they’re neighboring places, the vibe could not be more different.
- Zoran Mamdani, Charlie Kirk’s comments about him, and the idea that Mamdani potentially “destroying” New York City might actually be what wakes the city up.
This episode isn’t just a tribute. It’s reflection. It’s mourning what we’ve lost, yes, but also reckoning with what it means when someone who never backed down disappears—and what we do next with the voices and challenges he left behind.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
