Was the killing of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University an isolated act—or part of something deeper? In this provocative and detail-rich conversation, Pia Varma joins Artie to examine the emerging questions around the assassination, including burner phone data, potential intelligence recruitment programs in Utah, and how donor influence might shape both campus life and national narratives. They also discuss the emotional and political climate that shapes how stories like this are framed, misquoted, or dismissed.
