The conservative movement lost “the best of us" last week after Charlie Kirk was assassinated for his conservative values and martyred for his unyielding faith in Jesus Christ.
Steve Deace, a BlazeTV host, joined “The Signal Sitdown” where he responded to the death of his personal friend and Turning Point USA founder.
Because Charlie was such a bright light, “the enemy wanted to take him out,” Deace said.
To honor Charlie’s memory, it’s time for conservatives to “get more aggressive,” Deace continued.
“We need to mourn, and it's OK to mourn," he said. "Frankly, his legacy demands that we do. And then, when we're done, we clean off our faces, we wipe the last bit of tears from our eyes and snot from our nose, and we get up, and we get back on offense.”

Sometime around 11,000 years ago, somewhere in the Middle East or Central Asia, someone figured out how they could keep wild sheep and breed them.
This simple act had enormous consequences for humanity. It improved food production, revolutionized the production of clothing, and even influenced the development of writing.
Fast forward over 10,000 years, and sheep are still a significant part of the economies of several nations.
Learn more about the domestication of sheep and how it changed human civilization on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Investable! When Pandemic Risk Meets Speculative Finance (MIT Press, 2025) by Dr. Susan Erikson presents a critical and sobering look at how international bankers and investors turn pandemics into investment opportunities, and what we stand to lose when we rely on “innovative finance.”
In a world increasingly defined by crisis, bankers and investors behind the scenes turn catastrophes like pandemics into financial securities that can be bought and sold. Offering new insights into how the excesses of capitalism shape pandemic preparedness, Investable! is an ethnography of World Bank bonds designed to solve a big-ticket global health problem by getting international investors to gamble on future crises. In this first book-length treatment of pandemic bonds, award-winning medical anthropologist Dr. Erikson explains how we got here and asks who should hold the responsibility for the terrible things that happen to people, at a time when pandemics are turned into casinos. Dr. Erikson, who traveled over 300,000 miles conducting research for the book, takes readers from the red clay roads of West Africa to the concrete sidewalks of New York City and London’s financial districts, telling the stories of the people, the special interests, and the logics of pandemic bonds. Original, insightful, and extremely timely, Dr. Erikson's lively interdisciplinary exploration tells readers in powerful, vibrant prose about the pitfalls of contemporary global health finance “solutions.” Written for a smart general audience concerned about capitalism’s effect on human health, Investable! will appeal to financiers; politicians; economists; people working in global development, health care, and international affairs; and anyone who wants to better understand how capitalism affects how we care for one another in times of crisis.
This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars. You can find Miranda’s interviews on New Books with Miranda Melcher, wherever you get your podcasts.
