The Hazardous Intersection of Governance and Extremism

Scott and Jessica dig into Tyler Robinson’s motives in Charlie Kirk’s assassination and how MAGA influencers are bringing back a new kind of cancel culture aimed at anyone who criticizes them. They also talk about how social media fuels extreme content—and how tech giants are cashing in. Then, they break down Trump’s crime crackdown tour heading to Memphis, why local officials aren’t thrilled, and what militarized policing really does on the ground. Finally, they dive into Governor Hochul’s long-awaited endorsement of Zohran Mamdani and why other Democrats are holding back, especially with Trump threatening federal retaliation.
