Dr. James Hurley | A Warning for Campuses Nationwide

Steve is joined by Dr. James Hurley, president of Tarleton State University, to discuss a sobering reality: America’s colleges and public venues are unprepared for threats like the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Dr. Hurley shares insight on the security vulnerabilities facing campuses and open-air events, where political commentators and free speech are increasingly at risk. A law enforcement expert has warned that commentators should avoid open, outdoor venues, a chilling statement that underscores the danger of today’s hyper-polarized climate.

The conversation explores how universities and communities must adapt, balancing the protection of free expression with urgent safety concerns, while acknowledging that the political violence gripping America is unlike anything we’ve seen in decades.
