The Left Has a Political Violence Problem

0:00 Well, it's Monday.

0:01 I'd say happy Monday, but it was obviously quite the weekend here in Washington

0:06 DC with the shooting at the White House correspondents dinner.

0:09 A bunch of people have reached out.

0:11 My husband and I did not attend.

0:13 We were supposed to.

0:14 I couldn't get a sitter for our daughter

0:15 and my husband wasn't feeling very well on Saturday night.

0:18 And so, at the very last minute,

0:19 we bailed and had no idea anything was wrong until

0:21 a friend called to make sure that we were okay.

0:23 And I thought he was asking about my husband not feeling well.

0:26 And I started to answer that and he said,

0:28 "What are you talking about?" And I said,

0:29 "What are you talking about?" And he said, "There's been a shooting at the White

0:32 House correspondents dinner." Immediately was transported back,

0:35 not just to Charlie's death,

0:36 but when the president was shot the last night of our honeymoon in 2024,

0:41 and we both sat straight up off the couch

0:43 where we were laying down watching Tik Toks,

0:45 and we ended up working until about 1:00 in the morning.

0:47 But it was a hard night.

0:47 All of our friends that we work with every day were in the room.

0:50 Certainly important people that are currently

0:53 running our country were in the room.

0:55 And I think the hardest thing of all

0:57 to watch was certainly everyone's facial expressions just being

1:01 instantaneously transported back less than eight months ago

1:05 now to Charlie Kirk's assassination at Utah Valley University.

1:09 Uh I will never unsee the video of my beautiful friend Erica leaving the room.

1:14 I wish people wouldn't post it on social media,

1:16 but different conversation for another time.

1:18 All of that to be said,

1:19 I've been sitting with what happened on Saturday for the last several days now.

1:24 And I just keep coming back to the reality that needs to be addressed

1:29 and it needs to be addressed as clearly and as honestly as humanly possible.

1:35 The United States of America has a leftwing political violence problem.

1:41 Period.

1:41 Full stop.

1:42 I don't want to hear but but but.

1:44 I don't want to hear what about, what about, what about.

1:47 I want everyone in our country, frankly,

1:49 we all need everyone in our country if we are

1:52 to persist as a country at this point to unabashedly,

1:56 fundamentally understand that our country has a left-wing

2:00 political violence problem and it has got to stop.

2:04 Importantly, beyond that, that political violence

2:08 starts with the rhetoric that is

2:10 incessantly repeated over and over and over again by the most prominent,

2:15 powerful people in our society with zero regard

2:19 for the consequences down the line for it.

2:21 Enough is enough.

2:22 Or at least it has to be because how many more

2:25 presidential assassination attempts can we expect

2:27 as a result of this commentary?

2:29 How many more incredible leaders and activists

2:32 in the conservative movement can we expect to be

2:34 violently and publicly murdered and then made fun

2:36 of for it if this political rhetoric continues?

2:40 How many more people have to die and have their life

2:42 on the line for us to realize that a house

2:45 divided to this degree cannot stand and our country

2:48 will cease to exist as a result of this language?

2:52 Is it this?

2:53 I hope so, but I don't know that we're there yet.

2:56 And I'm hoping that my friends and colleagues

2:58 on the left take this as an opportunity

3:00 to wake up because we are in an incredibly dark place as a society if we can't.

3:06 People have been tweeting out over the last 48 hours or so

3:09 tons of clips from the mainstream media and from actors and musicians,

3:14 big Twitch streamers and podcasters emphasizing

3:17 the fact that this rhetoric of normalizing

3:20 violence on the political left has been going on for a long time.

3:24 And we all know this.

3:25 I mean, if you pay attention to politics like at all,

3:28 you hear this rhetoric every single day.

3:30 But I think for those of you that aren't quite as chronically online as myself

3:34 and maybe you don't interact with this and these people on a day-by-day basis,

3:39 this is important for you to understand because this push for violence,

3:44 this condoning of extremism, of assassinations,

3:49 of murder is becoming more and more normalized

3:52 with every passing day by every pillar of culture.

3:56 You may not be intimately familiar with this on a day-by-day basis,

3:59 but I hope today is an educating moment.

4:02 You need conservatives to be afraid of getting killed when they go

4:05 to events so that they look to their leadership to turn down the temperature.

4:09 YEAH.

4:09 KILL THEM.

4:09 KILL THOSE mother and murder those mother in the street.

4:12 Let the streets let the streets soak in their red capitalist blood.

4:17 Someone has to do it.

4:20 See, when I say that, everyone knows exactly what I mean.

4:22 I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.

4:31 Look as his character is stabbed to death.

4:33 Our first lady, Melania, is here.

4:35 Look at so beautiful.

4:37 Mrs.

4:37 Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.

4:40 When they go low, we kick them.

4:41 They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.

4:44 And that's a fact.

4:44 When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?

4:50 So, I hold it back here.

4:51 same exact

4:53 America deserved 9/11.

4:55 Dude, the guy is a convicted felon or convicted rapist.

4:58 He's a pedophile.

4:59 If you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud, you would kill Rick Scott.

5:04 Besides besides marching and and protesting, what else do you suggest?

5:10 Well, it doesn't happen overnight.

5:11 It's not a miraculous What did you say?

5:14 Murder.

5:15 If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant,

5:20 in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and YOU CREATE A CROWD

5:27 AND YOU push back on them and you tell THEM THEY'RE NOT WELCOME.

5:32 The biggest terror threat in this country is white men.

5:37 Most of them radicalized right to the right.

5:41 And it's not just this video.

5:42 The former director of the FBI posted on Instagram his cute

5:47 little beach sculpture 8647 kill the president of the United States.

5:52 The sitting attorney general of the state in which I currently

5:56 live literally had a fever dream not months ago fantasizing about killing

6:02 his Republican opponent and the children of his Republican opponent so

6:07 that it's the only way the right can change their mind on anything.

6:10 It's Nancy Pelosi.

6:12 It's Hakeem Jeff.

6:13 It's everywhere.

6:14 And maybe that's the part of these videos going

6:16 around that bothers me so much is that it is

6:19 every single pillar of culture that is repeating this same

6:23 condoning of violence and calls to assassinate or violently harm,

6:29 seriously maim or injure anyone that disagrees with you

6:34 as a legitimate political means to an end.

6:38 It's not just fringe extremists anymore.

6:42 It's actors.

6:43 It's musicians.

6:44 It's late night comedy hosts.

6:45 It's talk show hosts.

6:47 It's Jane Fonda saying we should murder prolifers

6:51 as a culture if abortion is no longer legal.

6:54 It's elected officials.

6:56 It's top operatives in the Democrat party.

6:59 It's the number one Twitch streamer in the political category on the planet.

7:04 And when the left has normalized this type of rhetoric for so long

7:09 and further created incendiary politics by calling

7:12 anyone they disagree with a rapist, a pedophile, Nazis, literally Hitler,

7:18 all of the crazy labels they love to slap on us.

7:22 That is then, make no mistake about it, radicalizing normal people into actual

7:28 manifestations of violence like assassination attempts.

7:32 It was not a few days ago that my beautiful

7:35 friend Savannah Hernandez was brutally beaten up while

7:39 covering some man on the street interviews of the anti-ICE

7:42 protests that continue to rage across our country.

7:45 It is currently an ongoing conversation across our country

7:49 that Nick Shirley should be violently thrown in prison because

7:54 his man on the street reporting his actual investigative journalism

7:58 is uncovering criminal activity that politicians are sweeping under the rug.

8:03 Literally, state legislators in the state

8:05 of California are calling Nick Shirley a psycho.

8:07 A psycho.

8:08 It was not 8 months ago that the best of us,

8:12 the leader of the conservative movement, at least for young people,

8:15 was violently assassinated on a college campus

8:18 and half the country cheered for it.

8:21 Members of my own extended family posted on social media about how,

8:26 well, he deserved it.

8:28 This is radicalizing normal people into thinking violence

8:33 is acceptable and is normal as a direct result

8:37 of the rhetoric of Hassan[ __] and Destiny and Don

8:41 Lemon and Nancy Pelosi and Jane Fonda and Jimmy Kimmel.

8:45 And they're pretty vocal about it, too, in case you're wondering.

8:47 Here is how the normal people responded to the White

8:49 House correspondents dinner shooting and the death of Charlie Kirk.

8:53 Peaceful protest won't fix this.

8:54 Being peaceful won't fix this.

8:57 I'm telling you, NOT RESORTING TO VIOLENCE WON'T FIX IT.

9:02 THAT MOTHER missed again.

9:03 Oh my.

9:04 I wake up each morning hoping he has died.

9:08 I go to bed each night hoping by the time I get up in the morning, he has died.

9:15 Charlie Kirk was pretty conservative, right?

9:17 But in the end, he leans left.

9:22 Hey, two of those people, for the record, public school teachers.

9:25 These people are not just insane.

9:27 They're not just radicalized into violence.

9:29 They are teaching your children probably also to be radicalized into violence.

9:34 And they're both still employed, by the way.

9:36 That lady shooting her neck, making fun of Charlie,

9:39 still employed as a public school teacher.

9:41 So, speaks volumes about the society we live in.

9:43 Back to today's really important conversation in just a second.

9:46 But first, you guys know it's spring

9:48 and spring has sprung here in Washington DC,

9:50 which is a natural reset point for everything around us,

9:53 but also for ourselves, too.

9:55 If you've been putting off cleaning up the messier parts of your business,

9:58 especially looking at you, you know what I'm talking about.

11:16 No one is a better example of a normal person, a functional, sane,

11:22 average person being radicalized into this type of violence from the left's

11:26 political violence problem than the alleged

11:28 White House correspondents dinner shooter, Cole Allen.

11:31 Despite the fact that Barack Obama is over here saying,

11:33 "We don't know what the motive is."

11:35 from this guy who literally left behind us a manifesto.

11:39 He did leave behind a manifesto and in it is incredibly

11:43 specific about why he feels the need to take down President Donald

11:47 Trump and to kill violently as many people who work for him

11:51 as possible and if necessary anyone who stands in their way.

11:55 In the manifesto he wrote this on to why I did any of this.

11:58 I am a citizen of the United States of America.

12:01 What my representatives do reflects on me,

12:04 and I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile,

12:07 a rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.

12:12 Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago,

12:15 but this is the first real opportunity I've had to do something about it.

12:19 While I'm discussing this, I'll also go

12:20 over my engage expected rules of engagement.

12:24 Here's who he's specifically targeting.

12:26 Administration officials.

12:28 They are targets prioritized from highest ranking to lowest ranking.

12:34 He goes through all of the people who are or are not

12:36 targets of his attempted assassination

12:38 of the president and then specifically says,

12:41 "I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were

12:46 absolutely necessary on the basis that most people

12:49 chose to attend a speech by a pedophile,

12:53 rapist, and traitor and are thus complicit.

12:56 But I really hope it doesn't come to that.

12:59 Gee, I wonder where someone like Cole Allen, mechanical engineer,

13:04 public school teacher, college graduate,

13:07 incredibly high functioning, smart individual who didn't,

13:10 according to what we know as of now, show any major signs of completely

13:14 unraveling or dealing with severe mental issues.

13:17 was a pretty vocal leftist on the internet,

13:19 but other than donating $25 to Act Blue for the Kla Harris campaign,

13:24 wasn't exactly an activist in his community.

13:27 I wonder where someone like this could have

13:30 gotten the idea that Donald Trump was a pedophile,

13:33 a rapist, and a traitor worthy of being killed.

13:36 Gee, I wonder.

13:38 According to some of the initial reporting

13:39 that I've seen in terms of the investigation that is now already several days

13:43 underway after the attempted assassination on Saturday,

13:46 Cole Allen kind of recently became an activist.

13:50 He was attending No Kings protests.

13:53 He was posting rampantly on Blue Sky,

13:55 the hub for everyone's favorite internet comedy show.

13:59 And according to his family, was a member of a radicalized left-wing group,

14:03 probably connected through Blue Sky to get there.

14:06 And while it's so easy for us to look

14:08 at historical attempts of violence against the president

14:12 as some fringe lunatic driven by something like schizophrenia

14:17 or severe substance abuse or some major mental disorder, this feels different.

14:22 And I think it feels different because it is.

14:25 Political violence has evolved and become substantially

14:28 different from the last time a president

14:30 of the United States was shot at the same

14:33 hotel that this attempted assassination happened this weekend.

14:36 Ronald Reagan was shot at the same hotel when he was president.

14:40 Will Ricky Ardella, who is one of the managing editors at Fox News,

14:44 had a powerful take on this that I still can't stop thinking about.

14:48 He said the White House Correspondents Association alleged shooter wasn't some

14:51 nut job lurking on the fringes of society forgotten by the system.

14:56 He was a well-educated, credentialed,

14:58 employed, and institutionally formed individual.

15:02 That's what makes this so disturbing.

15:05 At first glance, this doesn't look like a breakdown of the system.

15:08 It looks more like a product of it.

15:11 academia, media, and politics helped to build

15:15 the moral permission structure for this to happen.

15:19 Let that sink in.

15:21 And he's right.

15:22 When teachers across the country are hooping and hollering,

15:25 celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk,

15:28 and professors are suggesting that it's totally acceptable to exhibit political

15:34 violence in our free society as a legitimate means to an end.

15:38 a very Marxist communist worldview, by the way.

15:41 Of course, that could radicalize someone into this type of behavior.

15:45 When the media is incessantly repeating the same

15:50 scripted talking points over and over and over again,

15:53 that Donald Trump is literally Hitler,

15:55 that anyone who supports him is condoning fascism,

15:58 that prolifers just want millions of women to be

16:01 killed every year and raped by violent men,

16:04 that anyone you disagree with is evil.

16:07 Of course, someone could be radicalized into this.

16:11 When politicians are regularly using

16:13 their platform to scream through megaphones, saying,

16:17 "When you see Trump administration officials out in the street, harass them.

16:21 Tell them they are not welcome anywhere in society.

16:24 The biggest threat to our democracy is Donald Trump and anyone who supports him,

16:30 more than half the country.

16:31 Or when they go low, whatever that's supposed to mean,

16:34 we kick them." saying that from a position of public office.

16:38 Of course, your constituents and anyone

16:41 in our country could be radicalized from this.

16:44 Taking a quick break to just talk about something fun and sweet and cozy.

16:47 Quick question.

16:47 What is the outfit that you actually live in?

16:49 Not the one that you post in, but the one that you

16:51 actually wear and reach for every single day without thinking about it.

16:55 For me right now, it is a brushed

16:58 bamboo jogger set from our friends at Cozy Earth.

17:00 And I am not kidding.

17:01 It is that perfect balance of soft enough

17:03 to sleep in, but still put together enough to answer

17:05 the door or run out quickly or get

17:07 on an airplane and not look like a total slob.

17:09 It is lightweight, breathable,

17:11 and somehow just gets softer the more that you wear it.

17:13 And if you pair it with their Lakehouse clogs,

17:15 you are all set with a perfect fit for the day.

17:17 They are cushioned, supportive,

17:19 super easy to slip on, and honestly so comfortable

17:21 that you forget you even have anything on your feet.

17:24 As you guys know, I have been slowly upgrading like every little

17:27 thing that I possibly can in my house to Cozy Earth's premium products.

17:30 the robe that I get ready in in the morning,

17:32 the towels that I use after I get out of the shower,

17:35 gifts for my husband every once in a while,

17:37 even the clothes that I'm wearing on an airplane.

17:39 And it has made all the difference in the world to just

17:41 take my life to that next step of feeling comfortable as myself,

17:46 but also luxurious and refined as I get closer to the big 3 0.

17:50 I'm turning 29 a month from today,

17:52 and I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around

17:55 that, but Cozy Earth is making it a lot easier.

17:57 Cozy Earth even gives you a 30-day return policy and a lifetime warranty,

18:02 which you don't just see anymore at most companies out there.

18:05 It's one of those upgrades that you don't

18:06 even realize you need until you try it.

18:08 So, this spring, give yourself the kind of comfort that lives with you all day

18:11 from the moment that you get up to the moment

18:13 that you head home and every moment beyond.

18:16 Head to cozyear.com and use my code Isabelle for an exclusive 20% off.

18:20 That's code Isabelle for an exclusive 20% off.

18:23 And if they ask you for a post-purchase survey, where did you hear about us?

18:27 Make sure that you mention that you heard about

18:28 Cozy Earth right here on the Isabelle Brown Show.

18:31 Cole Allen is not an exception to the system.

18:34 He's not some fringe lunatic that on a whim was

18:37 driven by mental health issues or substance abuse to do this.

18:40 Cole Allen is the system.

18:42 He is a byproduct of the system

18:44 and was pushed into normalization of assassination by what

18:48 Charlie Kirk often called a rising assassination culture

18:53 on the left before he himself was assassinated.

18:56 when the media, the entertainment industry, academia,

19:00 in some ways the church, at least in America,

19:03 and virtually every prominent leader of the Democrat

19:07 party in elected office or running the party,

19:10 is repeating the same radical language to kill those mother effers,

19:16 let the streets soak in their red capitalist blood,

19:20 or that all conservatives need to be afraid of being killed when they

19:24 go to events because it's the only way things will change or hey,

19:28 I'm fantasizing about killing my Republican

19:30 opponent's children because it's the only

19:33 way that we're going to get people to change their minds.

19:36 Of course, normal people are radicalized as a result of it.

19:40 People have been sharing a lot the last couple days this Yuggov poll

19:43 that came out in 2025 showing that now as a result of this culture

19:49 22% of liberals under 44 say it's okay to feel happy when

19:55 their political opponent dies compared to just 6% of conservatives at their age.

20:02 6% is too high if you ask me.

20:04 But this is just the lunatics who decided to actually answer this poll honestly.

20:09 In truth, that number is probably twice as high as it is.

20:12 But even if this were just objectively true,

20:16 you're telling me that nearly four times the number of liberals

20:20 as conservatives believe that political assassinations

20:24 are worthy of being happy about.

20:27 That is a leftwing violence problem in America and it has got to stop.

20:33 As my husband and I watched all this happen on Saturday night and then

20:36 got up Sunday morning and we were flipping through all of the channels,

20:39 I I think we both maybe naively were hoping

20:43 that this would be a turning point opportunity, no pun intended,

20:46 for the media to realize that it is their rhetoric that has contributed

20:50 to this or for left-wing politicians

20:52 to realize that it's their rhetoric that contributed

20:54 to this or it's these radical crazy Twitch streamers to realize it is

20:58 their rhetoric that contributed to this and maybe this would be a wakeup call.

21:02 And we sat there flipping through all of the cable

21:04 news stations realizing that some people may have that opportunity.

21:09 But sadly, like the last Trump assassination

21:12 attempt and like our friend Charlie being assassinated,

21:16 sometimes I think these people are so

21:18 deeply bought into lies having become truth

21:21 that they have no realm of understanding

21:24 of the consequences of the words that they say.

21:27 CBS actually had relatively pretty fair coverage

21:30 of all of this on Sunday morning,

21:31 but then we flipped over to NBC and Meet the Press

21:36 where immediately Tom Tillis being interviewed

21:39 was asked to compare what happened

21:41 on Saturday with the entire line of presidential succession in the room

21:46 on the receiving end of bullets flying through the air to January 6th.

21:51 You were there on that violent day.

21:53 What did that feel like?

21:55 And then about 30 seconds later, they said, "Okay,

21:57 now switching our coverage to the Fed chair." And that seemed to be

22:01 the mentality adopted by most of the print media outlets in our country as well.

22:06 The New York Times ran the headline on Sunday morning,

22:10 search for motive of gunmen who charged Press Gala.

22:14 as if we weren't given a multi-page explicit

22:18 manifesto that the motive was indeed to kill Donald

22:22 Trump and anyone who works for him or remotely

22:25 decided to attend the event to hear him speak.

22:28 The Washington Post in their print edition ran

22:31 the headline chaos at White House media dinner.

22:35 Instead of third attempted assassination on the president

22:39 of the United States and digitally decided to run the headline,

22:43 Trump evacuated from White House correspondents dinner after, you guessed it,

22:48 loud noises heard, which felt oddly reminiscent to the Butler,

22:54 Pennsylvania headline they ran.

22:55 Trump escorted away after loud noises at PA rally.

23:01 Didn't realize bullets were loud noises, but like cool.

23:04 I guess that's fine.

23:05 And the rest of the left,

23:06 even if it's not the media, is running interference for this repeatedly.

23:11 President Barack Obama woke up Sunday and decided to tweet Sunday afternoon.

23:16 Although we don't yet have the details about the motives

23:19 behind last night's shooting at the White House correspondents dinner.

23:23 Are you serious?

23:24 journalist.

23:25 But let's be honest,

23:26 activist Medi Hassan decided to quote tweet Clay Travis saying,

23:30 "A reminder the butler shooter was a registered Republican." Yeah,

23:34 because someone pointing a gun at the president

23:36 of the United States is definitely MAGA.

23:39 And he wasn't even president then.

23:40 He was running for president.

23:42 Someone supporting the run of Donald Trump for president of the United States

23:45 is totally pointing a gun at him and shooting him in the head.

23:48 And he adds, "The only prominent elected politician in America

23:51 to literally call Trump Hitler was his own vice president,

23:54 JD Vance." Objectively not true, by the way.

23:58 Jasmine Crockett like 5 minutes ago called Donald Trump Teimu Hitler.

24:02 Kla Harris regularly compared Donald Trump to Hitler.

24:05 Gavin Newsome says that ICE is basically

24:07 the secret police or the Gestapo run by Hitler.

24:10 Those are just three examples off the top of my head.

24:13 But way to make this about dividing Donald

24:16 Trump and JD Vance to advance your political

24:19 aims instead of realizing that a deranged

24:21 left-wing lunatic who's actually really not a lunatic,

24:24 just a byproduct of your commentary was pointing a gun at every

24:28 other journalist in America and the president of the United States.

24:32 And of course ends his tweet with, "But these people don't care about facts.

24:35 It's all just partisan, cynical, lazy BS spin." As if the literal two sentences

24:40 before that were not the exact same effing thing.

24:42 you are projecting onto the rest of the country.

24:45 Hassan[ __] who was regularly featured in that clip we just watched,

24:48 saying someone needs to do it, assassinate the president,

24:51 that we should kill the mother effers who call themselves capitalists

24:54 and let America's streets run red with their effing capitalist blood.

24:58 Someone who previously,

25:00 while Rick Scott has been in office as the senator for the state of Florida,

25:04 said that if you care about Medicaid and Medicare fraud,

25:07 you should kill a sitting United States Senator.

25:10 Rick Scott said, "We don't even have the details of what happened yet,

25:13 and these mother effers are already using this opportunity to try to blame

25:17 me." The president uses the most violent rhetoric ever known to man.

25:21 Perhaps that's why it's usually his own supporters trying to shoot at him.

25:25 These people lie like they breathe.

25:29 It is second nature to them.

25:30 They don't even I don't even think he consciously was thinking, "Oh,

25:33 I'm going to lie in this tweet." They live in an alternate reality.

25:36 Because Hassan[ __] please, I beg of you,

25:39 can you point to a singular example ever where the president

25:43 of the United States said the streets should run red with socialist blood?

25:48 When has Donald Trump ever said that we should kill our political opponents?

25:53 When has Donald Trump ever said someone needs

25:56 to just do it in assassinating a Democrat sitting president?

25:59 When has Donald Trump ever said that we should assassinate

26:02 a sitting United States senator from the left to combat fraud,

26:07 which this administration is wildly passionate about?

26:09 You can't find it because it doesn't exist.

26:12 Because news flash, you are the problem.

26:15 You may not have directly pulled the trigger,

26:18 but if you're acting like the rhetoric

26:19 that you spread incessantly every day on the internet,

26:24 vomitinducing vitriol isn't radicalizing people, think again.

26:29 And it was the New York Times literally 4 days ago that ran a huge

26:33 story about how Hassan[ __] is the new media darling of the Democrat party.

26:37 There's a lot we can say about what happened

26:39 this last weekend and I'm sure a whole lot more is

26:41 going to come out and probably every other podcaster

26:43 on the planet is doing their show about what happened today.

26:45 So, we could get into the fact that in the planning side of things,

26:49 this was a colossal security failure again to protect our elected officials.

26:53 And I'm very excited to watch some other people's episodes about that today.

26:56 We can get into the cruel irony of how

26:59 the media is responding to this even when they were

27:01 on the receiving end of the bullets flying because they had

27:04 the audacity to sit in the same room as Donald Trump.

27:06 We could get into the background of Cole Allen, etc., etc., etc.

27:10 But the one thing I just think we all need to take home today and sit

27:14 with and create radical change over is the fact

27:17 that we have a leftwing political violence problem in America.

27:24 And it starts with the rhetoric.

27:26 It starts with how these people speak.

27:28 I am a free speech absolutist to my core.

27:32 I believe that people have the right to speak their mind.

27:34 But supporting someone's right to free speech doesn't mean we can't let

27:37 people know there are consequences to the things that you have to say.

27:40 And I honestly just don't know how to reconcile

27:43 with how these people hit the pillow every night.

27:45 Saying all of this, knowing that it's manifesting in actual violence,

27:49 and then saying, "Oh, yeah, but that's actually a good thing."

27:52 Because at least my side is winning now.

27:53 It's been a hard 48 hours to be honest.

27:56 So, let's end things on a positive note, then.

27:59 If anything good came out of the last 48 hours,

28:03 I think there are really two great things that came out of this.

28:06 First and foremost, the second that bullets started flying,

28:09 you watched the men of this administration,

28:12 the men in the cabinet, immediately respond in the most masculine way possible.

28:18 I'm sure you guys have all seen photos

28:19 like this one that I'll show you right now,

28:21 but Pete Hegathth immediately stood up,

28:23 surrounded his body around his wife and was diligently looking around

28:27 and then subsequently walked around the whole room looking for the suspect,

28:30 trying to take him down himself.

28:32 He rose to stand while everyone else cowered

28:35 in fear and he shielded his wife in particular.

28:38 Steven Miller, who can also be seen in this photo,

28:40 immediately wrapped his body around his pregnant wife.

28:43 Katie is pregnant with their fourth baby as they were

28:46 being escorted out by Secret Service out of the room

28:48 and he immediately removes his wife from danger

28:51 in the opposite direction of where the threat is coming from.

28:53 Didn't think twice, didn't hesitate about it despite the ghouls on the internet

28:57 trying to say he was using his pregnant wife as a human shield.

29:00 He literally did the opposite.

29:01 He shielded her.

29:02 And there was another photo that I saw

29:04 of Marco Rubio outside the entrance to the West Wing

29:06 once they had all gotten back to the White

29:07 House and he had given his coat to his wife.

29:09 and they were both clearly emotionally distraught,

29:11 but you can just tell these men care

29:14 for the people they are supposed to protect,

29:16 primarily their wives, which is their primary obligation as a husband.

29:20 But I also think it creates a powerful clear image for our culture of why

29:25 masculinity and strong leadership still matters and thousands

29:29 of people are talking about that today.

29:32 So kudos to the men of Trump 47.

29:34 But the other good thing that I think we can

29:36 take away from what happened this last weekend is that there's

29:39 been a lot of rhetoric of the fact that people are

29:41 frustrated that conservatives in elected

29:44 office just haven't been conservative enough.

29:46 I get it.

29:47 I understand it.

29:48 It is completely understandable to be frustrated with the lack of conservatism

29:53 on offense in Washington DC right now when we see mass amnesty bills introduced.

29:58 when we can't pass the Save America Act,

30:00 when they refuse to defund Planned Parenthood,

30:03 when we continue funding the freaking Taliban.

30:05 I understand the frustration and we should be outspoken about that.

30:09 But there are far too many conservatives on the internet telling you

30:14 the answer to that is now all of a sudden to vote for Democrats.

30:17 And if you think that the solution is to vote for Democrats,

30:21 I hope that Saturday night and the attempted assassination again

30:25 of the president of the United States was a wakeup call.

30:28 Far too many people on the left

30:29 today don't just want to beat conservative ideas.

30:32 They want and are incredibly honest

30:35 and transparent about it to kill conservatives.

30:39 They killed Charlie Kirk and they celebrate over his family's devastating loss.

30:43 Still today, they say all conservatives need to be afraid of leaving our homes,

30:49 afraid of being killed.

30:51 They repeat public calls for violence against anyone who has ever

30:55 or will ever work for the president of the United States.

30:58 They say in no uncertain terms, "The streets of our country should run

31:03 with our blood." These people travel across

31:05 the country to attempt to assassinate not

31:08 just the president of the United States,

31:09 but anyone who works for him or even has the audacity

31:12 to sit in the room and hear what he has to say.

31:15 Whether you agree with him or not,

31:17 this is no longer rhetoric that is perpetuated by a fringe lunatic.

31:22 This is celebrated and platformed nationwide

31:24 by the most powerful media outlets on the planet,

31:28 by activists, by public school teachers, by elected officials.

31:31 The left is not interested in serving or saving America.

31:36 Let's be very clear about that.

31:38 They will do anything actually to see it and anyone fighting for it destroyed.

31:44 So, as one positive takeaway here, yeah,

31:47 keep fighting for more conservatism on offense from our elected

31:51 officials and from the people with a microphone.

31:54 These people, especially in elected office,

31:55 were elected to serve us with a mandate, and they must.

31:58 It's why I'm so grateful for people like Brandon Gil on Capitol Hill today.

32:02 But I hope it reinforces in a beautiful and positive way that the anecdote

32:06 to feckless conservatism cannot be support

32:11 for the people who would rather see you killed.

32:14 Do you think this last weekend was enough for us to turn things

32:17 around in our country or is

32:18 this just another descent into further political violence?

32:22 Let me know what you think in the comments.
