In this week’s episode of The Scrambling Dads Podcast, Jason and Alex sit down to process the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk and what it says about the world our kids are growing up in. From high-profile political violence to mass shootings, random stabbings, and brutal crimes making headlines, the conversation gets real about how unsafe public spaces feel today.

We talk through the rise in violent crime, the mental health epidemic fueling so many of these tragedies, and the gut-wrenching weight of raising children in an environment that feels less stable by the day. As dads, we share our fears, frustrations, and the small ways we’re trying to protect and prepare our families for a future that feels increasingly uncertain.

This isn’t an easy episode, but it’s a necessary one.
