This week, we're talking about:

• the assassination of Charlie Kirk and what this tells us about America's gun control problem,
• Donald Trump's state visit to the UK, plus
• How the death of a celebrity can bring people together.

All of this and more on another edition of America: A History in the Making.

This week, we are delighted to be joined by Ira Chaleff, the Chair Emeritus of the non-partisan Congressional Management Foundation, and his newest book, To Stop a Tyrant: The Power of Political Followers, has won several awards and received high praise from both sides of the political spectrum.
