This episode explores alarming studies showing that 35% of liberals believe violence can sometimes be justified, contrasting sharply with conservative perspectives. We break down real-world incidents, including celebrations of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, threats against public figures, and targeted harassment of families. Featuring anecdotes from JD Vance and reports of teachers and activists inciting violence, this episode exposes how radicalized beliefs are spreading through schools, social media, and communities. From systemic threats to the normalization of political terror, we examine the stakes for free speech, public safety, and the future of American civil discourse. This is a deep dive into a culture of intimidation, radicalism, and the urgent need for awareness and action.

    Trigger warning: discussion of assassination, threats, and political violence. Former South Carolina Freedom Caucus Chairman Adam Morgan joins the show to sound the alarm over professors and state employees accused of celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk — and, in some cases, suggesting more killings should follow. Morgan calls out Clemson, Coastal Carolina, Winthrop, and other schools for protecting employees he says are inciting violence with taxpayer dollars. From demands to defund universities that won’t fire staff, to warnings about cultural indoctrination in classrooms, Morgan lays out a fiery case for accountability. He blasts South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster’s silence, contrasts it with strong responses from leaders in Florida and Texas, and calls for a special session to strip funding from colleges that refuse to act. This episode pulls no punches on higher education, political hypocrisy, and the fight to stop the normalization of violence in South Carolina classrooms.
