With the weaponization of the Charlie Kirk assassination by MAGA loyalists. Free speech, which was one of Kirk’s main talking points, is now being used as justification for censoring dissenting voices. America is in an existential crisis against itself in this moment in history, and looking for voices of unity and leadership to guide it through this dark period towards the ideal of which it was once founded. The “shining city on the hill” has remained illusive thus far, but there’s still hope for us all to turn it around.

In Episode 2 we explore the lack of empathy in our country, the dangers of dehumanizing each other and becoming desensitized to the violence in our nation as a society. We talk about how news organizations only reporting one side of the story has led to a great divide amongst Americans and how important it is to confirm your facts through multiple sources before forming an informed opinion. By questioning the information being spoon fed to us through critical thinking, we can stay informed and seek to understand the entirety of the situation with empathy, compassion and understanding.
