The shocking death of Charlie Kirk at a Utah college campus serves as the catalyst for one of our most timely and important conversations. What happens when we fail to engage in civil discourse? And how has this same polarization infected medicine?

This special episode with Dr. Brian Schmutzler and Host Vahid Sadrzadeh takes a look at the deterioration of free speech in America. The tragedy transcends political lines, revealing something fundamentally broken in our national conversation.

We also trace the politicization of medicine from the opioid crisis through COVID-19. Has medicine permanently crossed the point of no return where every new health issue automatically becomes political?
