The Roots of Political Violence and How We Prevent It

What's causing the rise in political violence in America? Can we
overcome it? And if not, what’s in store for our democracy? Dr.
Lilly Mason, a professor of political science at John Hopkins and
expert on political violence, joins the show to give context to
this moment — and offer some hope for what comes next. She talks
to Tommy about what Charlie Kirk’s assassination means in our
deeply polarized political climate, President Trump’s crackdown
on late-night comedians and left-wing organizations, and why
Americans — on both sides of the aisle — are increasingly
struggling to recognize the humanity in their neighbors.
