Let's Get Real - A Talk Show for Guys

Charlie Kirk, Wars, and Why Humanity Keeps Killing Itself (And What We Can Do)

Michael Sharkey

The world feels heavy right now. Wars, headlines, violence, and tragedy—it can make you wonder if humanity has learned anything at all. In this raw, unfiltered monologue, Shark shares his frustration with the endless cycle of killing, political chaos, and media-driven fear, while reflecting on Charlie Kirk’s assassination, ongoing global conflicts, and even the memory of 9/11.

But instead of staying stuck in despair, this conversation shifts toward something we can control—ourselves. Shark breaks down how the violence and wars on the macro level mirror the anger, fear, and shame that individuals carry on the micro level. And while we may not be able to stop wars or change world leaders, we can choose to be a little better every day—more compassionate, more loving, less angry, and less afraid.

This is a call to action for men—and anyone listening—to look inward. To stop being numb to the violence around us and start with ourselves. Because maybe, just maybe, if each of us committed to being a little better, it could shift the direction of the entire human race.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the state of the world but still want to make a difference, this episode will hit home.
