Season 85, Episode 1018: Guest: Demetri Stakias: A Tribute to Charlie Kirk

"When you have something to say, silence is a lie." - Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

Host of "The Relief Podcast", author of How to Get Your Life Back, and founder of Real Estate Relief Demetri Stakias has made his way back to The Culture Matters Podcast under unfortunate circumstances for this conversation.  We are continuing our discussions on the life and contributions made by Charlie Kirk, who was shot down at a speaking engagement on a university campus in Utah on September 10, 2025.  As the events of that day still stand fresh in our minds, Demetri and Jay are discussing the impact this event has had and will continue to have in the coming weeks, months, and even years.  Demetri and Jay are touching on Charlie's ability to mobilize like-minded people and encourage them to speak up, the fact that programming people to think a certain way or believe a certain thing has become a part of life, and how grieving explicitly manifests itself in one way while grieving implicitly manifests itself in a completely different form.  These continued conversations are bringing new thoughts and ways of looking at the events of the past weeks in different lights and we are grateful to have Demetri Stakias share his views on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.
