The gang digs into Germany's AfD party, which scraped together nearly 44% of the vote in the country's recent election. Is this another example of far right politics on the rise, or is there a bit of nuance to this victory? Then they turn to the 'Kirkaversary,' a meme-filled online event centered around the one-year anniversary of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. How far is too far when it comes to jokes about political violence?
