**Discussion begins at 4:28**The Boston Marathon bombing occurred on April 15, 2013, during the city's 117th annual marathon. This is a world famous race, attracting participants from across the globe, and thousands of people had gathered near the finish line on Boylston Street near Copley Square.  Suddenly,  two homemade pressure cooker bombs exploded within 4 seconds of each other, just 210 yards apart.  Tragically, three people were killed that day, and more than 260 others were injured.In this episode, we look into the Boston Marathon bombing and the unsolved Waltham triple homicide.  We will explore who Tamerlan Tsarnaev was and discuss theories about his potential role in the murder, his radicalization and time on the Terrorist Watch List, and whether he may have been an FBI informant.  From anti-Semitic motives to robbery theories, and the shocking connections that link these events to one of the largest acts of terrorism on US soil... we're about to tell you a story that you will shock you.Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

Violent extremist movements continue to thrive in online spaces. We examine how extreme ideologies spread, why young people are increasingly recruited into violent ideology and what's being done to push back.

Extremist ideas travel across mainstream social platforms, alternative media, and encrypted channels in coordinated waves that amplify reach, deepen recruitment, and enable operational planning. This ecosystem mixes broad-reach content to attract sympathizers with private, encrypted spaces for recruitment and coordination, making detection and disruption more difficult.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/racism-white-privilege-in-america--4473713/support.

Picking up right where Part 1 left off, Tom Bilyeu and Mike Benz dive even deeper into the shadowy world of influence operations, modern censorship, and information warfare. In this second half, Benz unravels how the censorship-industrial complex formed, the role of AI and social media in real-time narrative control, and the profound consequences of Elon Musk's purchase of X (Twitter) on global discourse and populist uprisings. Tom presses Mike on the “why” behind the intense manipulation of platforms, revealing that the ability to shape language and thought at scale isn't a partisan game—it's about preserving the interests of entrenched stakeholders across the globe. As global populist movements surge and increasingly polarized narratives grip the world—from America to Germany, the UK, and beyond—Tom and Mike scrutinize the connective tissue animating these phenomena. They explore how radical activists are intentionally seeded and activated by NGOs for regime change; what happens when the playbook is turned inward; and how collateral damage is created when hearts and minds are exploited with little regard for social unity. Mike makes the case for radical transparency as the antidote to soft power abuse, arguing that America can remain formidable on the world stage without turning its own institutions into black boxes. If you want to understand why our world feels so unstable—and what it might take to reform it—this is the conversation you cannot miss.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Carl takes a step back from the usual format to reflect on the shocking themes of violence, radicalization, and the growing challenges facing today's younger generations. Ruminating on the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk as a focal point, Carl's monologue explores how ideological extremism, campus culture, and unchecked digital influence have created an environment where young people can be drawn into dangerous movements. This reflection isn't only about one tragedy—it's about the bigger story of how our children are being shaped, influenced, and in some cases weaponized by toxic systems. Carl outlines the stages of radicalization, the role universities and online platforms play, and the responsibility we all share as parents, educators, leaders, and citizens. This episode is both a wake-up call and a call to action. If we want to reclaim our children's future, it requires more than words—it requires courage, involvement, and a recommitment to truth and critical thinking.

FBI Profiler On Charlie Kirk Killer & The #1 Cause of Lone Wolf Radicalization The assassination of Charlie Kirk was a shot heard around the world, leaving a nation asking: how could a seemingly normal 22-year-old commit such a heinous act? In this gripping segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, joins the Hidden Killers team to dissect the root cause of this tragedy. This isn't just another true crime recap; it's a masterclass in behavioral analysis from one of the world's leading experts. Robin Dreeke argues that the core of the problem lies in a societal "death of curiosity." He introduces the Socratic method—a form of cooperative dialogue based on questioning one's own beliefs—as a fundamental tool for civil discourse that has been almost entirely lost. The hosts explore how generational shifts in communication, fueled by the isolation of social media, have created dangerous echo chambers. In these digital spaces, young, impressionable minds are fed dogma instead of being taught to question it, preventing them from seeking wisdom and perspective outside their own inexperienced peer groups. This is a crucial look at the psychological framework that allows online radicalization to fester, turning disaffected youths into lone wolf killers. This analysis is essential for understanding the forces that led to this national tragedy.

Welcome to another episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, Tom and his co-host Drew jump straight into the thick of current societal and political tensions ripping through America—from digital manipulation and global disinformation, to the divisive battles over identity, gender, and violence. Drawing from recent news cycles and online controversies, Tom and Drew dig into how global powers exploit social media to stoke division, and challenge their audience to ground themselves against the rising tide of emotion-driven narratives dominating discourse today. Together, they dissect the psychology and biology behind polarization, fulfillment, and violent tendencies, weaving insights from neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and history. They also address why anger is such a motivating force—and such a dangerous one when unchecked—while mapping the intersections of male identity, cultural radicalization, gender roles, and the persistent confusion of contemporary masculinity. Part 1 promises a candid, unflinching look at how our minds, biology, and society collide, and why understanding our “biological experience” is essential to navigating the chaos of the modern world.

Today's Headlines: Trump, posting from London, declared “Antifa” a terrorist organization—even though it's not an actual organization—while mulling racketeering charges with AG Pam Bondi against unnamed left-wing groups. Meanwhile, watchdogs say Russia's “Operation Overlord” is pumping out fake news, memes, and even Pedro Pascal quotes to stir division after Charlie Kirk's assassination. The Pentagon, for its part, is eyeing machine learning-driven propaganda tools abroad, and even floating a recruitment campaign using Turning Point USA offices “in Kirk's honor.” Speaking of deals, the New York Times dropped a bombshell linking Trump's family cryptofirm World Liberty Financial to a $2B investment from the UAE, followed suspiciously by U.S. approval to send Emiratis advanced AI chips—despite intel concerns they'll land in China. In other news, House Oversight launched an investigation into ABC, Disney, and Sinclair over Jimmy Kimmel's suspension after FCC threats. Sinclair called the punishment “not enough” and demanded Kimmel apologize and cut a check to Turning Point USA. The same committee also summoned the CEOs of Discord, Reddit, Twitch, and Steam to testify on platform radicalization October 8. On the Turning Point front, Charlie Kirk's widow Erika Kirk has been unanimously elected as the org's new CEO. On immigration, a judge ordered Columbia grad Mahmoud Khalil to be deported to Syria or Algeria, citing omissions on his green card application—including past political affiliations—though supporters say it's punishment for his activism against the Gaza war. And to end this crazy week, Limewire (yes, Limewire) bought the Fyre Festival brand on eBay for $245K and says it's planning “real world experiences.”  Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: CNN: Trump says he's designating Antifa as a terrorist organization ABC News: Security analysts flag rise in Russian-created misinformation posts on social media following Kirk shooting The Intercept: Pentagon Document: U.S. Wants to “Suppress Dissenting Arguments” Using AI Propaganda NYT: In Giant Deals, U.A.E.

Radicalization in Real Time — From Campus Disagreement to Political Assassination This isn't a cold, calculated political hit. According to retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, what happened to Charlie Kirk may be far more frightening — and far more common. In this explosive third segment, Tony and Jennifer zoom out to explore the larger behavioral and cultural forces at play. Why did a 22-year-old with no record, no extremist ties, and no formal manifesto decide to take a sniper shot at a nationally known public figure? And why did it all come together in just over a week? The answer, it seems, has less to do with ideology and more to do with ego, entitlement, and broken impulse control. The two examine whether this killing marks a turning point in how political violence erupts — not through group indoctrination, but through social isolation and emotional instability. Tyler Robinson wasn't radicalized in a chatroom over years. He saw a flyer, got angry, and decided to act. Jennifer lays out the FBI's concern about “short-fuse actors” — lone wolves who act with little planning and massive damage. The discussion gets raw and real, covering everything from online behavior patterns to how society and law enforcement misread red flags until it's too late. If you're worried about where our discourse is heading, this segment is essential viewing. Because this isn't just about one man and one bullet — it's about the spark that lit it.

Radicalization in Real Time — From Campus Disagreement to Political Assassination This isn't a cold, calculated political hit. According to retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, what happened to Charlie Kirk may be far more frightening — and far more common. In this explosive third segment, Tony and Jennifer zoom out to explore the larger behavioral and cultural forces at play. Why did a 22-year-old with no record, no extremist ties, and no formal manifesto decide to take a sniper shot at a nationally known public figure? And why did it all come together in just over a week? The answer, it seems, has less to do with ideology and more to do with ego, entitlement, and broken impulse control. The two examine whether this killing marks a turning point in how political violence erupts — not through group indoctrination, but through social isolation and emotional instability.

In this episode, Hawk discusses how the Department of Justice deleted one of its own reports on domestic terrorism just days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Hawk focuses on how the study revealed that far-right extremists are responsible for the overwhelming majority of ideologically motivated homicides since 1990, accounting for 87% of politically driven killings compared to just 13% from the left.Hawk examines how the DOJ's National Institute of Justice compiled decades of data showing far-right extremism outpacing all other forms of domestic terrorism. The study documented over 520 deaths from 227 far-right incidents, compared to 78 deaths from left-wing attacks. Despite its importance, the DOJ removed the report from its website following political pressure, leaving only archived copies available.Hawk highlights the dangers of deleting uncomfortable truths and how figures like Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and JD Vance are shaping narratives that run counter to the facts. He also looks at how MAGA supporters continue to spread conspiracy theories about COVID-19, election fraud, and immigration, fueling extremist violence.This discussion underscores the growing connection between authoritarian politics, far-right movements, and domestic terrorism, as well as the concerning trend of military veterans being recruited into extremist groups. Hawk warns that erasing data doesn't erase reality—it only makes the threat more dangerous.

The Super Sleuth sits down with Dr. Owen Anderson, Philosophy Professor at ASU, to explore Marxism's influence on the radicalization of college students. Together, they unpack how Marxist ideology has reshaped higher education, eroded the foundations of the university system, and captured the hearts of the West with a godless worldview. We discuss the fruit of Marxism as shown through the heinous murder of Charlie Kirk by Tyler Robinson. 

Should there be a moral panic about young people being radicalized online? As much of the media struggles to understand and describe Gen Z internet culture in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, journalist and culture writer Katherine Dee discusses the dark internet subcultures influencing young people and what can be done about them. Plus: former Democratic operative Evan Barker discusses how Democrats alienate young men, and what Democrats can learn from Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA.

00:00:50 – Trump, NFL & Dictatorship ComparisonsThe show opens with Trump mocking the NFL's new kickoff rule as “sissy football.” This segues into a warning about Trump's emergency powers, tariffs, and governing by decree, comparing him to global dictators. 00:13:58 – Free Speech Betrayed After Kirk's DeathDiscussion of Trump, JD Vance, and GOP leaders calling for censorship in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. The Smith-Mundt Act is misrepresented to justify cracking down on the press, with comparisons to Reagan's betrayal of the Second Amendment after the Brady shooting. 00:23:10 – Media Control & False NarrativesGuests like Tucker Carlson and RFK Jr. are accused of aiding efforts to redefine free speech as terrorism. Skepticism is raised toward Steve Bannon's claims and the FBI's version of events, framing it as another push toward surveillance and internet ID mandates. 00:36:17 – Armed Queers & Radical MarxistsCoverage of “Armed Queers SLC,” a Marxist-LGBT militant group in Utah linked to Cuba. Their open revolutionary training and ties to Antifa figures are framed as proof that universities are breeding grounds for leftist terrorism. 00:52:02 – First Amendment vs. ViolenceDebate shifts to why the First Amendment is more important than the Second, arguing that radicalization comes from schools, culture, and censorship itself—not weapons. Liberty is portrayed as inherently dangerous but preferable to state control. 01:18:12 – Internet Control & Epstein Files BuriedSpeculation deepens around the Kirk shooting, with questions about the rifle used, multiple shooters, and hand signals.

FBI Behavior Expert Robin Dreeke On Radicalization in Real Time: How Online Echo Chambers Fueled the Charlie Kirk Assassin How does a 22-year-old go from honor student to accused assassin? In this powerful discussion on Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, Todd Michaels, and Robin Dreeke explore how online radicalization happens in real time. Dreeke explains how social media algorithms feed vulnerable young people a steady diet of fear, negativity, and outrage — creating echo chambers where violence is normalized. The conversation explores how platforms like Discord and online gaming chats become breeding grounds for extremist thinking, not through shadowy “radicalizers,” but through peer-to-peer validation. The suspect wasn't groomed in a cave halfway around the world — he was groomed in his own living room. The team also examines foreign interference. Drawing on his counterintelligence career, Dreeke explains “active measures” — how Russia and other foreign powers exploit America's freedoms to sow distrust, disinformation, and division. From bots to anonymous accounts, much of the online noise after the assassination attempt appears designed to pit Americans against each other. Stacy raises a critical point: are today's young people living in a constant trauma response, marinated in fear from birth, without tools to manage it? Robin agrees, pointing out how chronic fear escalates into anger, rage, and ultimately violence when curiosity and constructive outlets are missing. This segment reveals how radicalization isn't abstract anymore — it's woven into the everyday online world. And without intervention, more young people may follow the same dangerous path. #CharlieKirk #AssassinationAttempt #HiddenKillers #Radicalization #RobinDreeke #SocialMediaEchoChamber #FBI #Counterintelligence #TrueCrime #ForeignInfluence Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Officially, there's no clear motive in the murder of Charlie Kirk, but that hasn't stopped conservative leaders from pointing the blame at the left. Yesterday, Trump said leftist organizations are under investigation, though he didn't say exactly why. Today, Trump's Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, put the blame squarely on colleges and universities saying they are places where young people are radicalized to the left. Places of higher learning don't appear to have come in to play in the Kirk killing, as the suspect only attended one semester before moving to a trade school. Is it a case of MAGA trying to keep their base uneducated? We will ask Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston for his thoughts.There is no doubt, given all the jockeying for position and gerrymandering already, that the 2026 midterm elections are going to be hard fought. We check in with Richard Greene the Civics Dean to talk strategy.The Mark Thompson Show 9/16/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

00:00:50 – Conservatives Flip Cancel CultureOpening segment critiques GOP leaders for embracing censorship after Charlie Kirk's assassination, arguing they are betraying his free speech legacy and becoming worse than the left. 00:06:30 – Radical GOP ProposalsRepresentative Clay Higgins is condemned for pushing lifetime social media bans, revoked business licenses, and even driver's license cancellations for speech deemed offensive—an attack on the First Amendment through Big Tech partnerships. 00:14:00 – Smith-Mundt Act MisusedA viral Trump-supporting TikToker calls for a “Charlie Kirk Act” to censor the press. The host explains how the Smith-Mundt Act was never about punishing speech but restricting government propaganda—warning that censorship is being rebranded for conservatives. 00:23:15 – Cancel Culture HypocrisyBoth Democrats and Republicans are accused of exploiting Kirk's death—Democrats tying it to gun control, Republicans pushing censorship. The host argues both sides are betraying the principles Kirk defended. 00:31:38 – GOP Leaders Demand ConsequencesSenators like Katie Britt and J.D. Vance are highlighted for calling to punish “hate speech,” showing how the right is embracing the same cancel culture tactics they once condemned. 00:52:28 – Israel, Donors & ConspiraciesSpeculation surfaces that Kirk's rejection of Netanyahu-linked funding and warnings to Trump about Israel may have made him a target. The host urges caution, noting no evidence yet connects Israel to his assassination despite widespread rumors online. 01:02:08 – Motives Behind Kirk's MurderCommentary on possible motives for Charlie Kirk's assassination, including Trump benefiting from chaos and his recent criticism of Israel. Calls for careful examination before jumping to conclusions. 01:03:53 – FCC, Censorship & Big TechGuard Goldsmith highlights how GOP proposals mirror unconstitutional FCC powers. The host warns conservatives are embracing the same censorship and propaganda tactics they once opposed. 01:12:00 – Public Schools as Root CauseDiscussion shifts to government schools as the breeding ground for Marxism, transgender ideology, and political violence. Schools are described as “seminaries” for collectivism and indoctrination. 01:19:21 – Socialist Politicians on the RiseProfiles of young socialist candidates like Mamadou Niang in NYC and Omar Fatah in Minneapolis.

Radicalization, and the Minnesota Murder Cases John Collins grew up inside William Branham's “Message” world, left it, then spent years mapping how the theology and network morphed into today's authoritarian ecosystems. I welcomed him back to The Influence Continuum to speak about the murders and share his knowledge surrounding the twisted networks of doctrine and influence that may have influenced them. Collins' most recent book is Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR. Author and webmaster of William Branham: Historical Research, John was born and raised in William Branham's “The Message” cult following and is the grandson of Willard Collins, former pastor of William Branham's “Branham Tabernacle” in Jeffersonville, Indiana. When we did the recording and broke the story about Boelter's link to the extremist group, we got a message on my YouTube from Boelter's former baseball buddy and floormate at college, who witnessed his radicalization. Jeff Petricka consented to a recorded interview on my YouTube channel. John's story hits an essential point about brainwashing while growing up. He was taught such an extremist form of obedience that he was told if Branham said the sky was pink, his eyes were wrong. He was corporally punished regularly. He told me leaving felt like being air-dropped from a North Korean camp into the United States, where nothing is familiar. His deconstruction took years. With human resilience and persistence, John worked to heal himself and help others. John was told stringed instruments were “of the devil.” Today, he keeps his drums in the frame and every video on purpose, and I can see at least 8 (if not more!) stringed instruments on his wall.

00:00:50 – Conservatives Flip Cancel CultureOpening segment critiques GOP leaders for embracing censorship after Charlie Kirk's assassination, arguing they are betraying his free speech legacy and becoming worse than the left. 00:06:30 – Radical GOP ProposalsRepresentative Clay Higgins is condemned for pushing lifetime social media bans, revoked business licenses, and even driver's license cancellations for speech deemed offensive—an attack on the First Amendment through Big Tech partnerships. 00:14:00 – Smith-Mundt Act MisusedA viral Trump-supporting TikToker calls for a “Charlie Kirk Act” to censor the press. The host explains how the Smith-Mundt Act was never about punishing speech but restricting government propaganda—warning that censorship is being rebranded for conservatives. 00:23:15 – Cancel Culture HypocrisyBoth Democrats and Republicans are accused of exploiting Kirk's death—Democrats tying it to gun control, Republicans pushing censorship. The host argues both sides are betraying the principles Kirk defended. 00:31:38 – GOP Leaders Demand ConsequencesSenators like Katie Britt and J.D. Vance are highlighted for calling to punish “hate speech,” showing how the right is embracing the same cancel culture tactics they once condemned. 00:52:28 – Israel, Donors & ConspiraciesSpeculation surfaces that Kirk's rejection of Netanyahu-linked funding and warnings to Trump about Israel may have made him a target. The host urges caution, noting no evidence yet connects Israel to his assassination despite widespread rumors online. 01:02:08 – Motives Behind Kirk's MurderCommentary on possible motives for Charlie Kirk's assassination, including Trump benefiting from chaos and his recent criticism of Israel. Calls for careful examination before jumping to conclusions. 01:03:53 – FCC, Censorship & Big TechGuard Goldsmith highlights how GOP proposals mirror unconstitutional FCC powers. The host warns conservatives are embracing the same censorship and propaganda tactics they once opposed. 01:12:00 – Public Schools as Root CauseDiscussion shifts to government schools as the breeding ground for Marxism, transgender ideology, and political violence.

Their platforms include rent freezes, taxing “white people,” gender ideology, and anti-police measures. 01:23:11 – Property Taxes & Education FundingAnalysis of efforts in Florida, Texas, and Indiana to roll back property taxes that fund schools.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk has shaken the nation, exposing deep ideological divides and the dangerous currents of radicalization online. In this episode, we explore the events surrounding the attack, the individuals involved, and the broader implications for political discourse, free speech, and public safety. From eyewitness accounts to social media networks, we examine how fringe groups and extremist ideologies are fueling real-world violence. We also discuss the media's coverage—or lack thereof—and the moral and cultural choices facing Americans in a moment that may define a “before and after” in modern politics. This episode is a call to understand, discern, and respond responsibly in a world where words can inspire action, and where every citizen's choices matter in shaping the future.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, a troubling pattern of politically motivated violence is emerging. From social media radicalization to connections with fringe groups, this episode examines the shooter's background, the disturbing online subcultures that may have influenced him, and the broader implications for public safety. We also explore how Charlie Kirk's message continues to resonate, with thousands of young people starting new chapters of his movement and finding purpose even after his death. Experts weigh in on the radicalization of “wound collectors,” the intersection of ideology and online communities, and the urgent need to recognize and address this growing culture of violence before it spreads further. This episode is a deep dive into the collision of politics, radicalization, and the enduring impact of one influential voice.

Today's episode dives deep into the growing crisis of political violence and radicalization in the United States. From the assassination of Charlie Kirk to attempted attacks on public figures, we examine the patterns of extremism, online radicalization, and the disturbing influence of fringe groups. We explore eyewitness accounts, social media networks, and investigative insights, including the role of left-leaning activist groups, the mainstream media's coverage, and the cultural ripple effects of these attacks. Experts and insiders reveal how ideologies, victimhood narratives, and online echo chambers are shaping a generation prone to radical action. This episode also discusses the societal choices Americans face, the responsibility of media and institutions, and the urgent need for clarity, discernment, and ethical engagement in the face of an increasingly volatile political landscape.

JB White opens this episode with technical hiccups and football talk before shifting to the heart of the matter: the national mood after Charlie Kirk's assassination. He reads Marine veteran Robert M. Sperling's viral rant, which captures how ordinary Americans, previously apolitical, have been radicalized by witnessing brutal crimes and the disturbing celebrations that followed. JB expands on Sperling's warning to Democrats, arguing that their failure to police their ranks has awakened a sleeping giant. He connects America's crisis to Europe's abandonment of its Judeo-Christian roots, warns against soulless ideology masquerading as justice, and calls for men of faith and courage to stand guard in schools and society. With sharp words for those who equated Kirk to Hitler, reflections on Trump's role, and a closing gospel song reminding listeners that “God is good,” the episode blends outrage, faith, and resilience into a defiant call for renewal.
