In this episode, Niall takes on one of the most urgent and unsettling issues of our time: political violence and the future of free speech. The shocking shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University has reignited debate about whether violent confrontation is becoming a grim fixture of American political life.

Niall speaks with Turning Point UK and John McGuirk of Gript Media to explore the wider context—why free speech is under attack, whether it can ever be truly absolute, and why political disagreements are increasingly spilling into violence.

Listeners also join the conversation as Niall opens the lines to ask: Where should the limits of free expression lie? And what does the rise in political violence mean for democracy at home and abroad?

This episode blends expert analysis with raw public opinion, asking difficult questions at a critical moment.
