🎙️ Radical Roots Podcast – Episode 54: Funeral for Free Speech📅 September 21, 2025 | 🕗 8:30 PM ET | 📍 Live from Union County, NC

From Charlie Kirk's vigil-turned-rally to rising federal overreach and political cowardice, this episode calls out institutional apathy, executive creep, and performative resistance—while offering real tools for action.

🔥 Tonight’s Breakdown:

🧎 The Vigil Heard 'Round the RightCharlie Kirk’s prayer vigils aren’t mourning—they’re mobilizing. Demonizing immigrants, LGBTQ+ folks, and non-Christians, these gatherings are sounding more like white Christian nationalism than honoring Kirk.

🔇 License Threats & Free Speech in Peril: After Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue about Charlie Kirk’s killing, FCC Chair Brendan Carr openly threatened regulatory consequences for ABC and its affiliates — raising serious First Amendment questions.

💸 Shutdown Showdown: Chess or Capitulation?Schumer and Jeffries hit the Sunday shows—but are they bluffing or folding?

📢 Hold the Line: What We Expect from Democrats“We won’t get blamed” isn’t enough.We demand real negotiations—not just vibes.

💥 Our Economic Power Still MattersBoycotts and “economic blackouts” are real levers. We spotlight Disney, Hulu, and Target.

🧠 Final Reflection: “Power to the People”Power yields nothing without a push. If you're not calling, organizing, or redirecting resources—you're watching democracy bleed, and fascism breathe.📢 Join the Movement:💬 Drop a voicemail or comment: Where did you flex your leverage this week?
