Show notes

A memorial for Charlie Kirk was held in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday. “Crossroads” host Joshua Philipp attended the commemoration and shares his thoughts.

In the wake of Kirk’s assassination, another type of movement is starting.

In addition, President Donald Trump has announced that he will designate Antifa as a major terrorist organization.

Why the Pentagon’s New Name Matters Sep 08, 2025

Show notes

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order authorizing the Department of Defense to use the Department of War as a secondary title.

Alongside this, Trump posted two images that appear to be a veiled threat to Russia. This happens as the president says he’s losing patience with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

And also, in other news, a young woman who was stabbed to death on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, is sparking outrage over what some call light-on-crime policies and an alleged double standard in reporting by the corporate media.
