17:57Now PlayingThe Bulwark journalist Will Somer discusses the political fallout and conspiracy theories ignited by the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative activist and leader of Turning Point USA. The episode explores the internal power struggles over Kirk's legacy, especially concerning his evolving stance on Israel, and how that shift may have contributed to tensions with high-profile figures and wealthy donors within the conservative movement. Somer highlights how these divisions are fracturing unity in Trump-aligned circles and delves into the broader implications of rising conspiracy thinking on the right. The discussion also touches on concerns about increasing authoritarian tactics from the Trump administration in silencing dissent and media criticism, notably through examples like pressure on Jimmy Kimmel and media conglomerates. With a focus on both the cultural and political shifts happening on the right, the episode underscores the volatile intersection of influence, ideology, and power in the lead-up to the 2028 elections.
