This week’s episode of The Spectacle contains a ringer, as author and conservative pundit Kurt Schlichter of Townhall sits in for American Spectator publisher Melissa Mackenzie.

Schlichter and American Spectator contributing editor Scott McKay cover a wide range of topics with a common theme. Namely, that we’re beset with dangerous weirdos, and the normal folks are on defense.

That was in evidence with the awful mass shooting at a Christian school in Nashville, and it shows up in lots of other places, as Kurt and Scott discuss.

But the episode also contains a treat — Schlichter discusses the latest installment in his terrific Kelly Turnbull series, which is due out later this spring — and even actors who might eventually play the character when the book series finally makes it to the screen!
