53 分钟From the free press, this is Honestly and I'm Barry Weiss.
As you may have heard, I have a new side gig over at CBS News.
And as perhaps you've seen,
I hosted a town hall with Erica Kirk that aired on CBS this past Saturday night.
It was an extremely powerful conversation.
We spoke about a lot.
We talked about rising political violence in our divided country,
the way that some people justified or excused Charlie's murder.
We spoke about what Erica thinks about some of the controversial things Charlie said in his lifetime,
her response to Candace Owens and the conspiracy theories that she and other podcasters are peddling.
We spoke about growing anti-Semitism on the right,
about the ability to discern between good and evil.
and of course, her decision to forgive Charlie Kirk's killer.
This town hall was the first of many conversations and debates that I'm bringing to CBS News about the things that matter most,
which of course are often the topics that are hardest to talk about.
I'm extremely excited about these events, and I hope that you'll tune in.
You'll hear more about them soon.
If you missed this first one with Erica Kirk,
I'm thrilled to play it for you here on the podcast today.
And I can't wait for you to catch the next one on CBS.
