FBI Behavioral Secrets: Robin Dreeke on How Tribalism Created
Charlie Kirk's Assassin 

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the arrest of Tyler
Robinson has raised urgent questions: how does a seemingly normal
young man radicalize to the point of murder? And why didn’t
anyone — friends, family, community — stop him sooner?

On Hidden Killers Live, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke
delivers a chilling answer: we’ve lost curiosity. In a culture
where tribalism dominates and polarization defines entire
generations, people don’t listen anymore — they divide, isolate,
and double down on rage. And in those echo chambers, violence
becomes thinkable.

Dreeke shares the FBI’s hard-won lessons from interviewing
killers and terrorists: you cannot understand someone if you lead
with judgment. Curiosity, empathy, and dialogue are not “soft
skills” — they are survival tools. They are how agents get
confessions. They are how families intervene before tragedy. And
they are how society defuses political violence before it
explodes.

This is not about excusing Robinson’s crime. It is about exposing
the broken pathways that produced him — and confronting the
reality that more young men are walking those same roads right
now. Dreeke explains how tribalism feeds itself online, how
curiosity can stop radicalization in its tracks, and why
America’s inability to communicate across divides is fueling its
darkest crimes.

This is the side of the story you won’t hear on cable news.
