Recorded live on Thursday, September 18. Meghan opens with why she missed Wednesday's show, she was in New York receiving Magen David Adom's "Champion of Israel" award, and talks about her experience in the city. Then Ben Ferguson joins for a full hour to process the assassination of Charlie Kirk: what it's meant for their families, audiences, and the conservative movement; why open debate can't die; and how to grieve without surrendering to hate. Ben shares a harrowing past attempt on his life, the practical security changes many hosts are making, and the case for doubling down on faith, family, and showing up for your people. They dig into the media fallout: late-night's response, the Kimmel controversy, and why "accountability" isn't the same as cancel culture. Plus the online pile-ons and conspiracy-chasing that Charlie's pastor has asked everyone to stop. The conversation ranges from campus safety and the future of "open-air" events to how local action (hello, school boards) can actually move the needle. Listener questions bring real-world organizing tips and a reminder that stepping away from social media can protect your sanity.
