Solving the California Homeless Crisis

Ardis Jackson talks to Dr. Chloe Carmichael author of Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matter and How to Use It Fearlessly.

"Violence increases when dialogue ceases."

In a time when political polarization is tearing at the fabric of our communities, Voices of the Future dares to ask: what happens when we stop listening to each other?

Join us as we explore the rising tide of political intolerance—where Americans are now 5Ds deep into division:
Defriending over disagreements
Distancing in real life
Dropping contact altogether
Disinviting opposing voices
Declining to date across the aisle

According to recent YouGov polls, liberals are up to 8 times more likely to endorse political violence over ideological differences. But what’s the cost of silencing dissent?

When we shut down conversation, we don’t just lose debate—we risk:
Suppression of ideas
Depression of the spirit
Denial of truth

This week, we spotlight renowned psychologist Dr. Chloe Carmichael, who unpacks the emotional toll of political isolation and the urgent need for civil discourse.

Because if we want to be listened to—we must first learn to listen.

Join Ardis Jackson on a profoundly personal and moving episode of “Voices of the Future” as he dedicates the entire hour to honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk following his tragic assassination.

Jackson never met Charlie Kirk, yet the conservative firebrand's death triggered a deep, emotional trauma—an experience he compares to the impact of Martin Luther King’s death on those who believed in his cause. The host opens up about the gut-wrenching grief he felt and his past aspirations to collaborate with Kirk’s organization.

Hear about the unprecedented surge in the movement Kirk built:


Massive Impact: Within days of his passing, Turning Point USA saw over 37,000 new chapter requests, The Charlie Kirk Show posthumously hit number one on Apple Podcasts, and his book became a national best-seller.


Courage and Conviction: We explore Kirk’s legacy as a modern defender of the First Amendment, who demonstrated exceptional courage by walking into the "lion's den" of college campuses to debate opponents. The host highlights how Kirk's deep Christian faith drove his commitment to truth and his belief in America.


Lasting Honors: Discover the official tributes, including Senator Shane Jett's proposed Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day and President Trump’s announcement of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Finally, Jackson issues a powerful call for unity and strategic movement building, urging Americans to honor Kirk’s memory not with violence or division, but with peaceful expression and constitutional rights, just as he would have wanted. This episode is a deep reflection on Charlie Kirk’s organizational impact, his personal faith, his courage on campus, and the mission his wife, Erica Kirk, must now carry forward.

Don't miss this crucial tribute as "Voices of the Future" grapples with a national tragedy and the path forward for the conservative movement.
