Identity Politics (Ep. 19): Smash the Left (w/ Jared Taylor)

In this episode of Identity Politics, Kevin DeAnna addresses how the assassination of Charlie Kirk has become a defining moment for the American right. What began as shock and grief has erupted into a larger debate about political violence, free speech, and the future of conservatism itself. Supporters mourn while the left openly celebrates, and government officials use the tragedy to push new hate speech restrictions that threaten to silence dissent altogether.

He is joined by Jared Taylor of American Renaissance to examine Kirk’s evolution from a mainstream conservative to a more uncompromising voice on immigration, race, and identity, and argue that his effectiveness - not extremism - made him a target. They discuss the media spin and the fear that moderation or debate will no longer protect anyone on the right. They also take a look at the rising polarization in the U.S. and Europe, the failures of conservative leadership, the normalization of political violence, and the broader struggle over national identity and state power.

Finally, Kevin closes with the case of Iryna Zarutska, whose killer was released for psychiatric evaluation - a decision many see as unlikely to deliver true justice. He raises urgent questions about accountability and the rule of law, and makes clear what has to be done to achieve lasting change.
