Charlie Kirk Assassinated | Middle Minded Podcast w/ Johnny Dismal & Peter Bogdanov

In this episode of Middle Minded, we walked into the fire. Guest host Johnny Dismal joined me, Peter Bogdanov, for what should have been an impossible conversation: the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

You’d think this would be the moment where all sides put down their weapons, at least long enough to agree that political murder is not something to cheer. Instead, what did we see? Laughter. Celebration. A grotesque pleasure in the death of a man whose greatest crime was speaking openly about family values.

Charlie Kirk has been assassinated—and instead of uniting against political violence, much of the left celebrated. In this explosive episode of the Middle Minded podcast, Peter Bogdanov and guest host Johnny Dismal dig into the cultural rot that got us here.

For over a decade, the left has thrown words like Nazi, KKK, white supremacist, homophobe, transphobe at millions of Americans who dared to vote Republican. This constant dehumanization wasn’t just empty rhetoric—it set the stage for hate to feel normal, even justified.

Peter speaks as someone who voted Democrat for fifty years, until the language of hate from his own peers pushed him out. Johnny calls himself “politically homeless,” but even he can’t stomach the way assassination is being laughed off as some kind of victory.

This episode is not about left vs. right. It’s about the human cost of hate speech, the dangers of a culture addicted to outrage, and why more people are fleeing the extremes to defend the middle.

We talk solutions: forgiveness, admitting when rhetoric has gone too far, and standing up for sanity in a world that’s losing it.

The middle isn’t about negotiating with extremists. It’s about rejecting them. It’s about coming back to humanity.
