David and Brad examine the stark divide in how Americans responded to Charlie Kirk's assassination - with one side organizing prayer vigils and seeking faith-based healing, while others celebrated the murder on social media. The hosts dissect why the marketplace of ideas has been replaced by the marketplace of violence, explore how algorithmic echo chambers convince weak minds that opposing viewpoints justify murder, and explain why blaming inanimate objects for human evil remains intellectually bankrupt. They discuss the dangerous precedent of treating political disagreement as grounds for assassination, the role of social media in radicalizing extremists, and why calling your opponents 'Nazis' inevitably leads to someone deciding Nazis deserve bullets. Plus: Why the Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms, not the right to execute people whose ideas you dislike - a distinction apparently lost on a generation that thinks debate is violence but actual violence is justice.
