## Resource

Charlie Kirk’s assassination shook the entire political world. On today's episode, we upack what we know so far: the shocking footage, personal reactions, conspiracy theories pointing fingers at Israel, Russia, Antifa, and beyond — plus what we’re learning about the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson. We also examine the FBI’s controversial handling of the case, the rumored “destroyed note,” and how media narratives are shaping public opinion.
