One of the reasons Charlie Kirk was considered "divisive" was that he spoke out against the civil rights laws, which was interpreted as his supporting Jim Crow segregation. Yet, these laws did not increase liberty but rather imposed a new progressive vision on Americans.

Russell and Keaton from Due Dissidence return to Bad Faith to pick up where Zaid left off last week: The curious lacuna in journalist Matt Tabbi's coverage of censorship. As efforts to suppress pro-Palestine speech proliferate -- including the recent recruitment of the censorious Bari Weiss to influence the editorial direction at CBS -- Tabbi has offered a variety of explanations as to why he has declined to cover censorship stories that implicate the political right as perpetrators. The trio also revisit the Charlie Kirk killing and debate whether leftists should tone down jokes about Kirk's murder in order to avoid reputational damage.

Tim Harford investigates some of the numbers in the news. This week:
Nigel Farage says 6.5 million people are on out-of-work benefits – with some benefits up 80% since 2018. Are those numbers right?
Do French pensioners really earn more than their working-age compatriots?
How is it possible for one kilogram of fish food to produce one kilogram of salmon?
And do we really have five senses?

He was 89 years old.
Redford was a golden child of Hollywood, starring in dozens of movies. But he was never content just being an all-American matinee idol.
He became an Oscar-winning director, founded the Sundance Institute and grew the Sundance Film Festival, and advocated for environmental causes before activism became a Hollywood cliche.
Linda Holmes, host of NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast, and film critic Bob Mondello look back on Robert Redford’s work and legacy.

Israel has gone all in to finish the war Hamas started on October 7. Batten down the hatches and watch for the anti-Semitic content. Speaking of which, watch as the anti-Semites try to claim Charlie Kirk, a prominent Christian Zionist, as one of their own. Give a listen.

This is an episode in two parts. First, my thoughts on Charlie Kirk’s murder, now that I’ve had a few days to process it, and to see the unfolding reactions and responses on both sides. Then a conversation with Ben Shapiro — one that was recorded shortly before Kirk’s assassination, but that has a different significance after it.
This episode contains strong language.
