Civil society, Charlie understood this well, is not just something that flows from the government. It flows from each and every one of us. It flows from all of us.So when you see someone celebrating Charlie's murder, call them out in hell. Call their employer. We don't believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility.And there was no civility in the celebration of political assassination. ...

The murder of Charlie Kirk is just the latest example of modern American political violence that spans decades. The 1960s, of course, were one of the most turbulent decades in US history, marked with political unrest and over civil rights issues and anti-war movements. It also saw several high-profile assassinations with the murders of Megar Evans, President John F.Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. ., and Robert F. Kennedy.All in a span of just 5 years. While violent political activism gradually de ...

All right. The Trump administration is asking Congress for an additional $ 58 million for security to protect the executive and judicial branches following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. That's according to a leadership aid who spoke to NBC News yesterday.Said the administration also supports adding more money to protect members of Congress, but deferred to the legislative branch on how to do it. Joining us now, Democratic Senator Reverend Raphael Waro of Georgia. Uh thank you, Senator, for being on the ...

In a sense, the question must be is why is Spencer Cox's voice so unique. Here we are in this moment in the country and we have become so used to so much division that we almost expect more of that division from our political leaders on either side. And so to have listening to Spencer Cox yesterday on the Sunday shows, what struck me is how he was prepared to be bold.He didn't mince his words when it came to social media, describing it as a cancer, describing uh the algorithms that drive us to division as e ...

Joining me right now, we have New York Times White House correspondent Luke Broadwater. We also have investigative profiler Casey Jordan. So, thank you both for being here.Casey, we heard the Utah governor say the suspect isn't cooperating. Would there be an expectation of cooperation in situations like this. And how would investigators then approach him.Do they talk to him. Do they not talk to him at all. And what's the focus then of the investigation if he's not helping.Well, if you were accused of assass ...

You heard Governor Cox refer to social media as a cancer and the question I think becomes what to do about it. Do you agree with that assessment. Is social media actually a cancer right now.Mr. . Secretary, >> social media is clearly part of the problem in a big way and it speaks to something that's even bigger than the political polarization of this moment. Although I think the internet has played a role, but it's more than that.It's what is it doing to our brains. Look, every time there's one of these kil ...

Governor, I want to delve into some of the messaging that we have heard uh from you. Lawmakers, governors of both parties across the country have frankly praised what we heard from you on Friday. Your unifying message.You said you see this as a watershed moment. How can this nation step back from the brink, Governor. So look um this is uh we you you mentioned it in the introduction but we have seen an escalation in violence that has been happening across the country.We we've had periods like this in our pas ...

Yeah. I mean, he was arguably the most influential conservative of his generation, starting with Turning Point USA, which looked to mobilize conservatives on campus.
