Reporting live from my parents’ home in Upstate New York, I kick things off on a celebratory note. My dad was recently inducted into yet another Hall of Fame for his accomplishments in Track & Field and Basketball. This one being especially meaningful to him. I’m joined by my mom for this late-night recording to discuss the political climate following the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk. With her perspective, shaped by growing up in the 60s and living through periods of civil unrest, she helps ground the conversation, offering clarity amidst the chaos. Rather than focusing only on the day of the incident, we explore how we arrived at this moment and where things may head from here. As always, recording these conversations with my mom is something I treasure, and I’m grateful to share them with you. Our talk, true to form, closes with a hopeful call to action. Tune in for a thoughtful, heartfelt discussion that blends personal reflection, historical perspective, and optimism for the future.
