ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

What does it mean to do the right thing in an age where chaos, violence, and political division dominate the headlines?

That’s the haunting question explored in Episode 309 of Daily Persuasion, titled “Thinking of Charlie Kirk & Doing the Right Thing.” In this powerful episode, Joshua Lisec reflects on the life, faith, and influence of Charlie Kirk while confronting the grief, outrage, and responsibility that follow in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. This isn’t just another conversation about politics or culture—it’s about mourning, order, and finding clarity when the world demands revenge.

Why this episode matters

Lisec opens with a deeply human truth: one of the best ways to grieve is to mourn vicariously through others. In this episode, he shares how the shock of the Charlie Kirk shooting echoes the cultural trauma of 911, the 911 attack, and even COVID—moments when society was forever changed. As with those events, the Charlie Kirk shooting suspect has become a symbol of deeper cultural fractures, raising urgent questions about justice, unity, and what comes next for America.

But Lisec does not stop at grief. He turns to persuasion, to persuasion psychology, and to the enduring strategies of influence that leaders like Kirk embodied. This episode is not about wallowing in despair—it’s about learning how to channel loss into order, courage, and decisive action.

What you’ll learn in Ep. 309:
• Why the death of Charlie Kirk represents more than a tragedy—it’s a turning point in American political life.
• How Lisec applies persuasion techniques, persuasion examples, and even techniques of persuasion in writing to explain the future of the right.
• What the Unhumans book reveals about this moment—and why those who haven’t read it don’t fully understand what’s happening now.
• Why Donald Trump’s reaction—blaming leftist radicals while rejecting “unity”—reflects a new era of politics.
• How Lisec contrasts the chaos of tit-for-tat violence with historical lessons from Francisco Franco and others who led orderly, justice-driven counterrevolutions.

Throughout, Lisec reminds listeners that persuasive techniques matter not only in politics but in personal life. He shares persuasion examples from Kirk’s leadership, explains how to persuade someone to do something without anger or fear, and demonstrates why examples of persuasion in advertising can apply even to movements and causes.

A tribute to Charlie Kirk

Lisec paints a vivid portrait of Charlie Kirk as a rare “celebrity 2.0”—a man whose personal brand and public faith matched who he was behind closed doors. From private conversations to public rallies, from Turning Point events to his panel appearances with Jack Posobiec, Kirk embodied a leader whose confidence matched his calling. Lisec recalls how even the Bronze Age Pervert podcast episode reflected truths Kirk himself emphasized: reactionary violence dishonors the cause, while steady, fatherly order builds civilizations.

The episode also considers what it means to resist chaos in the face of provocation. Drawing on persuasion psychology, Lisec argues that mourning should never devolve into disorder. Instead, those grieving the assassination of Charlie Kirk are called to act with restraint, strategy, and moral clarity.

Why listen?

This episode is both a eulogy and a call to arms—not for violence, but for wisdom, courage, and influence. By blending stories of 911, COVID, and today’s turbulence, Lisec positions himself as a guide for those struggling to process grief while choosing the right path forward. The lesson is timeless: real persuasion is not reactionary. It is orderly, deliberate, and rooted in a higher calling.

If you’ve ever asked:
• How do I channel grief into meaningful action?
• What lessons from history apply to our current crisis?
• How do I master persuasion even in moments of anger and pain?
…then this episode will resonate deeply.
