138: One Year of Kirkification feat. Juliet Jeske, Abner Hauge, Haley Orion, Will Sommer, Charles Star & Madeline Peltz
A year after a bullet to the throat killed Charlie Kirk, the TPUSA founder is less a flesh-and-blood person who died on a college campus in Utah than a symbol people fight over. For some, Kirk is the embodiment of patriotism and the threat of left-wing violence. For others, he's a racist podcaster the White House tried to force the country to mourn. For others still, he's the face of pure nihilism — grafted onto Superbad, Kool-Aid pineapple reveals, dancing potatoes, and countless brain-rotting memes.
Jared and Mike bring in Juliet Jeske, Abner Hauge, Haley Orion, Will Sommer, Charles Star, Mike's 13-year-old son en route to a sleepover, and Madeline Peltz to report out and make sense of everything that's happened to the country since Kirk died. What they find: a country where Kirk's ideology reigns supreme, the vibes are terrible, and nobody seems to like it.
Together, unbroken, we'll make heaven known.
