Investigative journalist Andy Ngo joins The Winston Marshall Show for a harrowing conversation on the murder of Charlie Kirk, political violence, and the media’s complicity in misreporting to fit their agenda.

Andy explains how far-left extremist networks celebrated the assassination, how narratives were laundered to downplay the killing, and why America is entering a dangerous new phase where political violence is normalised. Drawing on his years investigating Antifa, Ngo lays out the connections between online subcultures, extremist ideology, and the growing climate of hate.
