As America reels from the assassination of Charlie Kirk, many have wondered what the future holds.

How will this tragedy transform America? Will political violence continue to escalate? What is the path forward?

To understand our current political and cultural moment, I sat down with legal scholar and political philosopher Robert George. He's a professor and director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University.

“We're at an inflection point, and it's very worrying, very dangerous,” George said. “We could easily fall into a cycle of revenge, and then what becomes of us?”

For years, he has been contemplating how the age of faith and the age of reason have been succeeded by what he has described as the “age of feelings” and moral relativism.

His new book is titled: “Seeking Truth and Speaking Truth: Law and Morality in Our Cultural Moment.”

In this episode, we have explored Kirk’s legacy, the dangers of ever-growing polarization, and the pernicious ideas that have eroded civil discourse and the foundations of our free society.

“If this generation rising today does not adopt a spirit of civic friendship, if they don’t value civil discourse, then … this grand experiment in republican government and ordered liberty bequeathed to us by our great founding fathers will be lost,” George said.
