Episode 9 of the Rational Policy Podcast (recorded Wednesday 9/10) is a solemn one, discussing the assassination of 31-year-old conservative megastar Charlie Kirk. Your hosts,
and Mike Coté, talk about the heinous act, the rise in political violence in America, the importance of speech, and the evil of such actions. We follow that with another awful crime, the murder in Charlotte, NC of a Ukrainian refugee by a lunatic repeat offender on public transit, detailing the reactions and the policy choices that could reduce these events. We then shift to the international arena, breaking down the mass Russian drone incursion into the airspace of Poland, a NATO ally, and what could come next in the still-raging Russo-Ukrainian War. Finally, we touch on the Israeli airstrike against Hamas leaders in Qatar; we detail why it matters, why it was a good thing, why Qatar is no friend of America, and how this could shape the coming weeks of the Gaza War.Check it out and let us know what you think. And, please, pray for the soul of our country.
