Clay Travis & Mark Teixeira On The Charlie Kirk Assassination
On this edition of 'Will Cain Country,' Will continues to share his reaction to the shocking assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk. Will lays out why Kirk’s murder is more than a political headline, it’s a cultural turning point that exposes the rising tide of political violence in America, the media’s selective outrage, and what it says about our ability to live together in one country.
Then, Will is joined by Co-host of ‘The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show’ and Founder of OutKick, Clay Travis to analyze how the Left and the press are framing the assassination, the chilling precedent it sets for free speech, and what it means for parents, students, and the future of open debate.
Former Major League Baseball All-Star & World Series Champion and Candidate for Congress in TX-21, Mark Teixeira also sits down with Will to bring his perspective as an athlete, a parent, and a citizen. The two dive into why he's running for office in Texas and tragic death of Charlie Kirk.
