Charlie Kirk’s Death: America’s Violence Unmasked - 2025 Week 38
Bar Talk Happy Hour
Thursday, September 18, 2025 - 16 minutes
This week on Bar Talk Happy Hour, we confront a grim turning point in America’s political landscape — the assassination of Charlie Kirk. What started as another conservative speaking engagement ended in tragedy at Utah Valley University, leaving more than a grieving family behind. It forces us to examine the forces driving political violence and the breakdown of civil discourse.
Country stars like Jason Aldean, John Rich, Parker McCollum, and others have reacted, but beyond the tributes lies a deeper question: What is fueling this violence? From ideological extremism to social media rage, from polarization to a sense of moral urgency gone too far — we unpack what this moment says about who we are becoming. Tune in as Odie Coyote and Producer Raven go beyond the headlines: what should be done, what must change, and whether there’s any hope of pulling back before it gets worse.
