687: Charlie Kirk & the Conflict Entrepreneurs

Last week, a gunman in Utah killed Charlie Kirk on a college campus. Rather than uniting the country against political violence, Kirk's assassination has only made divisions wider. Some on the left celebrated his death, saying he reaped what he sowed, while some on the right, including the President, are calling for retribution against all leftists. One of the few voices trying to lower the temperature has been Utah's Republican governor, Spencer Cox, who lamented the polarizing influence of social media and the "conflict entrepreneurs who benefit from radicalizing us." Phil offers his coffeeshop reflections on how both the right and left justify hating the other side, while Kaitlyn and Skye discuss the need for faithful leadership when all of the incentives are against it.
