It’s been a mercifully trouble-free few days in the Trump campaign, as there appears to have been some sort of “intervention” with Reince Preibus that tightened Donald Trump’s leash considerably. But that all came crashing down on Tuesday at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina where Trump joked about “Second Amendment people” assassinating Hillary Clinton. Or maybe he was joking about assassinating the Supreme Court judges she’d nominate. That, presumably, is up to the discretion of the Second Amendment people.

“Hillary wants to abolish, essentially, the Second Amendment,” Trump said. “By the way, and if she gets the pick — if she gets the pick of her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I dunno.”

The media responded with some shock, as casually suggesting your supporters might kill your opponent is a serious low in a campaign that plumbed deep. The usual Trump spin with something like this would be that he was just joking and journalists need to lighten up, but it seems even Trump’s surrogates figured the “JK!” response wouldn’t work this time, so they came out with this novel interpretation.

So, okay, that’s an obvious lie.

But even as a joke, this is pretty sick. Hillary Clinton is despised by unstable people who own powerful guns and listen to every word Donald Trump says. Calling for her to be shot is more than just depraved and irresponsible. It’s extremely, extremely dangerous.

Welcome to Episode IV. This week, Dan spends some time with his favorite singer/songwriter, Matthew Perryman Jones. Matthew and Dan talk about panic attacks, growing up in Atlanta, the way music is informed by pain and suffering and the way music gives freedom.

If you have spent any time watching television in the last decade you have most likely heard one of Mattew’s songs on shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Pretty Little Liars, One Tree Hill and many others. His insightful writing and voice have drawn comparisons to Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley, and he is on the short list of songwriters who skillfully weave the deeply philosophical and the vivid utterly human without ever losing sight of either.
