John talks about Turning Point USA founder and CEO Charlie Kirk who was shot and killed during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

At the exact same moment, in Colorado, another school shooting left three students critically wounded. The 46th and 47th school shootings this year. John discusses this and other news with podcast star Bob Cesca; Desimber Rose and Dillon Naber Cruz AKA The God Squad; and legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
