Episode notes
Assassination Spurs Dangerous Policy Push
- The Charlie Kirk assassination is producing immediate policy pushes to label and punish political opponents as 'domestic terrorists.'
- Hosts warn such broad labels risk normalizing rights-stripping and political retaliation across administrations.
Limit Laws To Intentional, Violent Doxing
- Avoid rushing to criminalize broad online speech or doxing without clear intent to incite violence.
- Push for narrowly tailored laws that criminalize targeted doxing intended to direct violence, not general political expression.
'Expose Charlie's Murderers' Sparks Witch Hunt

- Hosts highlight cases where people were listed despite not celebrating the killing and warn this fuels a witch hunt.
