So the other day, Ben Dominich, the editor at large of The Spectator, also a Fox News contributor, wrote a piece after the election. It appeared at the New York Post, and he writes that the voters spoke, and rather than reject democratic streamism, they embraced it emphatically. In New Jersey and Virginia, two fake moderates cruised to victory in line with polls and the expectation of the political elite. None of these outcomes, he calls them. By the way, he calls span Berger and Mickey or mikey I forget her last name, but anyway, the two governors that won, he called them high test resume female candidates practically built in a lab by the party establishment, who nonetheless hold to extreme leftist views on social policy. He said these outcomes were not surprises, except perhaps one the Virginia Attorney general race, where j Jones, the bloody minded partisan who was exposed for openly fantasizing about murdering a Republican political opponent and hoping his children died in their mother's arms one handily. Oh and by the. Way, it wasn't just like, oh I sent this text message erroneously to this Republican colleague in the legislature and then oh I was just joking, sorry about that, and that's it. No. No, he then you know, replied when she was like this is disgusting, and he's like, no, no, no, it's true. Let me explain further. And then she's like, stop texting me. So then he like calls her to make his case as to why the Republican Speaker of the House should be assassinated and his two young children shot and killed and die bleed out in their mother's arms. So it's it's not like this was a you know, a joke misunderstood or anything. This was like his true feelings, his sentiment. Oh and by the way, a voters then also ejected the woman who received the emails and the messages and the phone calls. I forget her last name, it's not Joiner, but it's something like that. They voted her out. So the whistleblower gets voted out by Democrats. Yeah, his victory is a vindication of the pro assassination faction of the radical left right if you thought. Now, look, Spanberger won by a greater margin. And they say, you know, like her coattails basically dragged Jay Jones over the finish line. But it tells you something that he's still won by like five points I think is what that final was, and she won by doublet or no, I think she won by like ten, But she dragged him across the finish line. They say. But even so, it means that you had, you know, fifty percent of the voters, Democrat voters saying yeah, we want that guy, that guy who fantasizes about murdering Republicans based on their policy prescriptions, based on their political beliefs. He wants them murdered and their kids murdered. So this is a normalization of assassination culture. This is the permission structure. We've been talking about this for a long time. Democrats have no immunity to this inside their ranks. Their ideology has no natural immunity to this. That is now a parent. This is where we are. I understand that when I say this, that means certain things, and they are pretty scary things. You have half of the people voting in Virginia that are neighbors to Republicans. What is that? What message are you sending to your neighbors that simply voting for somebody, you voting for somebody that is not acceptable because of their policy preferences. That now that means it's okay to murder you or to celebrate the murder. Maybe I won't do it, but if you get whacked for it and your little kids get murdered for it, well you know, okay. As Ben Dominich goes on to say, it turns out you can celebrate your opponent's deaths and muse about how great it would be if their children died too, without any repercussions. It might even help you if you're a Democrat. Right, this is where we are, he says. The in New Jersey, which always seems to be participating in a live action re enactment of Charlie Brown racing toward Lucy and the football. Even if there's some momentum and its candidates lean into charismatic messaging, the state is still even more solidly blue than Virginia. The real lesson from this one, though, is that Democrats' strategy worked and Republicans continue to struggle without Donald Trump atop the ticket. Trump's impact on American politics has transformed the Republican electorate, inspiring a more diverse group of voters, including a wider portion of the growing populations in America, with a strong motivation to vote for the Trumpian maga GOP that fueled his history making popular vote victory in twenty twenty four. The problem for the GOP is that when Trump is not the name at the top, that same electorate does not show up. See this is the problem with any kind of a populist movement that is ordered around one particular charismatic leader. When that leader is no longer present, the movement disintegrates. And this is on the mag of voters who don't show up to vote for anyone except Trump. This is on them. The extremism of the Democrat Party now is locked in. They've elected governors who want their states to be sanctuaries for legal immigrants. They want men allowed in girls' locker rooms, an anti law and order agenda that's no less extreme than what we are about to see from the young fellow whose first real job on his resume will be mayor of New York. He goes on to say that sometimes citizens have to learn the hard way when the results of what they ask for are delivered. As J. R. R. Tolkien wrote, it is the burned hand that teaches best. After that advice about fire goes to the heart. We'll see soon enough how the voters feel about it, and if they will reward the Democrats for their extremism when it comes time for the midterms, or if they decide to vote with their feet in the meantime. Either way, the lesson begins now. So I know there are Democrats that listen to the program, listen to this station, so thank you, and you know you are free to call in and debate and discuss as always. But I am curious. I would love to hear some sort of a defense of Jay Jones and this normalization of assassination culture that doesn't include something along the lines of what about Trump okay, because you're past the mean tweets phase. I'm not sure you guys realize this. You blew past that a while ago. You know, when you start a dressing up as Luigi in celebration of a of a psychopathic murderer because he killed a guy who was the CEO of a healthcare or a health insurance company, and you Luigi Mangioni murdered Brian Thompson in the street and you started celebrating him. You were celebrating the attempted assassination of Trump. He celebrated Charlie Kirk Like, you guys have embraced this now, so I'm curious, like, how do you beat this back? And what do you think happens when your opponents internalize this message? You know, stories are powerful. They help us make sense of things, to understand experiences.

All right, So I went to the text line and I'm not sure if it was like a butt dial or what, but surely your text did not go through. It's just a blank line. And so I was very curious to hear what Shirley had to say. Shirley is on the left, and so I assumed she was responding to my call, I know, my request to say, Hey, like, how do you explain the embrace of this assassination culture and what do you think what do you think happens when when that is internalized by the right, by your opponents, Like, what do you like just kind of sort of predict that out for me when you've got half of the country saying it's totally fine to use violence against political opponents, and we're going to keep supporting people that engage in that rhetoric and build that permission structure, amplify it. What happens when the other side realizes you're serious? Will Chamberlain from the Article three project, he said, we all had a naive faith that the median Democrat voter would not tolerate murderous psychopathy in the form of Jay Jones. We were mistaken. Greg Price said, we're learning tonight that not long after a major conservative figure gets assassinated, the Democrat candidate for attorney general in a state can fantasize about murdering the children of his political opponents, scam his way out of community service after a reckless driving conviction, and not only will every Democrat on the ticket stand by him, but Democrats in the state will elect all of them to office. US Senator Eric Schmidt from Missouri said, so much for Democrats wanting to tone it down right. VA Democrat Attorney general candidate expresses his desire to murder conservatives and watch their children die. Obama campaigned for the guy. Democrats in Virginia elected him to be the chief law enforcement officer of the state, and Lee Wolfe, the executive producer for The Ruthless podcast, said, the results out of Virginia for Jay Jones are the first empirical evidence we have that Democrats writ large support political violence as a tool to achieve They saw with their own eyes this absolute psycho go into graphic detail about the need to murder children as a means of achieving political outcomes, and they voted yes to him. You can't hand wave away violence as the actions of a few fringe radicals when you affirmatively vote in favor of those tactics. Oh see, okay, Shirley, thank you. She did a text into the text line are you speaking of January sixth? By the way, they were pardoned. See what did I say? What did I say? Explain to me the embrace of assassination culture without pulling a what about Donald Trump? We know you don't like Trump, right, So how how are you on the left, you democrats? How are you going to inoculate yourselves and your party? And the country from this kind of radical extremism that is now pervasive. All the polling for the last year has shown that people in the Democrat Party self identifying as liberal, and it's worse even among the young, more liberal cohorts, that they are accepting of political violence. How do you inoculate yourself and your party and the country from that kind of extremism. I am of the opinion that you cannot. I don't think you can do it. See right now, on the right, there's a big fight, bro. And I've covered this as well, and I'll get into it again next week because there are developments. But the right is having a big fight about Tucker Carlson Candae Owens right after the Nick Fuentes interview that Carlson did. So there's a fight right now going on to excise extremism out of the conservative movement and MAGA. I see nothing like that on the left, specifically as it relates to this kind of assassination culture. Noah Rothman at National Review wrote a piece called the revolutionary mood in America is getting worse. The trend toward political violence that we witnessed in twenty twenty four did not abate in twenty five. In fact, it got worse. Recent polling from Politico suggests even more Americans are becoming accustomed to the threat of political violence, as if as though it were a lamentable feature of modern life. Politico found a majority of Americans believe assassination culture will metastasize and that a high profile candidate for office will be killed. Well, yep, but for a slight breeze and a poor shot. We did not see that with Donald Trump. Fifty five percent said political violence in its many forms will become increasingly common. Most Americans do not welcome this prospect, but a shockingly large minority nearly a full quarter of respondents told Politico that political violence can be justified. Younger Americans were significantly more likely than older ones to say violence can be justified. More than one in three Americans under the age of forty five agreed with that belief. As troubling as these findings are, the cause that younger Americans believe political violence might advance is even more troubling. They're polling found that Americans younger voters in particular, are succumbing to a fatalism that has put them in a revolutionary mood. This is nihilism, this is blackpill, this is Nick Fuentes. He's a nihilist. He isn't actually, I believe in all of these things. He's there is no depth to him. It's just hate and clicks and views and attention seeking. Just in it for the laws, just trollin'. I'll say the most crazy things because nothing matters. That's nihilism. That's what's happening with these young people. And I blame colleges, well specifically the professors.

Hello, Lisa, welcome to the show. Hi, how are you hey, I'm good. What's going on? Good? Well, I was really wanting to answer your question about how a person like the attorney general, the new attorney general in Virginia got elected. It's the same reason that it's been happening all across the country for the last was definitely the last three decades or so, for sure, But it really started in the late sixties, and it culminated in the early seventies when abortion was made legal. And I'll tell you why, when we embraced the sacrificing of children, okay, and the murder culture which now has gone all the way to nine months and passed. Okay, if you think that a culture can stand through that kind of thing where millions and millions and millions of children have been killed, and you've got a party that has embraced it, promoted it, paid for it, pushed it, jammed it down our throats. And this is not hard to understand at all. And the thing that I really wanted to point out is for women to have accepted the idea of yees, it's not really a baby, it's not really a child. Blah blah blah. They literally literally have to kill their maternal instincts so they can walk in there and get an abortion. I know this for a fact. Personally, yeah, well, I mean they're they're convinced of it before. I think the maternal instinct can kick in fully, right, That's why they get them early. Right. The thing is, though, well a lot of them get them a lot later. Now there's no care at all. I've seen them dancing into the clinic, you know, and singing, I'm going to kill my baby. I mean, this is bizarre, but y'all believe. But I want to point something out to you. Men have embraced it too. For every selfish reason. Oh sure, oh yeah. But because they have done this. Let me ask you this is a great question. No one ever knows the answer, but I'm sure you probably do. Do you know what the leading cause of homicide, the leading cause of death, I'm sorry, and pregnant women. Is their significant other, the father of their child. They're unborn child. The lead well, the leading cause of death according to the CDC, and pregnant women is in complications from childbirth or aneurysms or anything. It is homicide. Because they don't embrace the kill culture, they get killed. And it happened hundreds of thousands of times all across this country. It happens all the time, especially sports figures. Just it's everywhere. Anyway. If you have a party that embraces this kind of a thing against innocent children, what do you expect. I expect them to want to kill the rest of us because there's no humanity involved. There's no nothing or all, just a bunch of you know, floating zombies and some floating universe that came from some little snotty creature in some you know lake somewhere. It's ridiculous and idiotic, and it's really really evil and that's how people can just go. I don't care if they embrace that culture. I don't care about anything as long as I go what I want or if I have a you know, think I can get something for free or some whatever. Anyway, it's a very good thing that I'm not God and that he is, because otherwise I would have made French fries out of all of us a long time ago. I don't understand it. Yeah, I appreciate the call. I think it's a very good point. Thank you very much, have a great weekend. Thank you. No, I think and this is why, and I've made this argument before that there there is no going too far on the left. There's no limiting principles. There aren't it, So there are no guardrails. And so to Lisa's point, when you accept the culture of death via abortion right, then you are accepting all other sorts of death right. And we see this with the you know, the assisted suicide pushes that are occurring, and now you're and just like was warned, you've got the slippery slope effect. Where first it was for the terminally ill, then it's okay, well, what about just the elderly, or what about a young person who wants to commit suicide, Why don't we just help them do that? That's where like Canada is like way down that path. And I agree with Lisa, like this is a fight. This is good versus evil. These are evil things that are manifesting in the culture, in the society. It's evil. Noah Rothman points out that the potential for the radicalized and deluded to act on their violent fantasies becomes more likely when revolutionary politics are fashionable. Revolutionary political violence is an expression of profound ingratitude. It represents a rejection of the American political tradition because it rejects incrementalism, which is the only sort of change the American Civic Compact and its legal conventions encourages. It is the language of nihilism spoken by those who indulge in self pity. These people believe they have been robbed of that which is their due in gratitude. And I think he's exactly right.

Okay, So thoughts on the subchucker? What do you think the subchucker? I have I have no opinion on the show. You have no opinion on the subchucker. Sean Dunn, let's be polite, call him finished. Yeah, uh Sean Donn a former federal employee. Because he got oh you're talking about the sandwich guy? Yeah, what'd you think I was talking about? I didn't the sub chucker. I thought it was something that was like a piece of you know, territory in the buildings or something. But oh like subterranean. Okay, sorry, I made my position known yesterday on the sub chucking. Okay, because he got to quit it. He did, he did, all right, it's it's awful. You should not be allowed to throw a sandwich on an on a on an officer. I'm gonna blow your mind. Go ahead, go, you're not You're not actually allowed to do that. It's against the law. Right. But but the but the DC circuit is obviously, you know, filled out by lunatics, just absolute lunatics. So we have jury nullification, is it? Though? I think I think it was might. Be jelly no jury nullification. Jury nullification where jury says yes, he did it, which, by the way, the subchucker said he did it. That was not contested. His own lawyer did not dispute that he threw the sandwich at a Customs Border Patrol officer outside of a nightclub, but the lawyer insisted that it was simply quote an exclamation point. That's not that's a lie to express his negative feelings about the National Guard's deployment within the nation's capital. Okay, okay, can I can I intervene in this thing for a second. That's why you're here, my friend. Okay, here's so, then let's do this. Let's make it not a sub The sub is not the issue. We're going hot, No. No, just follow this, Okay, forget the sub if you if you heaved, if you heaved hot Chinese food on the guy, hot hot pot, a meatball sub met still kind of hot hot one, I violated you. Well if it's a vegetable one hot veggie, a hot veggie, okay, you know something like that? What what if you what if you had heat with oil? Hot oil, hot oil, or or or dim sum or something like that. I'm very hungry for for it right now for some reason, for some reason. But you know you look, what if somebody threw soup on him, No soup for you, no, no deportation for you. Here soup a soup nazi as a soup nazi. Yeah yeah, I mean, so. I'm gonna go here, I'm I'm gonna go, go, go and go deeper. What about if I were to take a bottle of frozen water? Oh that's awful, Yeah, I. Get yourself some of the uh yeah, like you like a water a bottle of water? Was that like a Trantifa thing? Once? It? As a matter of fact it was. They actually would freeze the water bottles and hurl them at law enforcement. So why don't I just take a water bottle? Wrap it up in a subway wrapper and then chuck it. Oh wow, that's brutal. That that's I have to I have to applaud your creativity there. That's really quite something. Well, I mean like there's no way the officer could know. Yeah, that you don't know what's coming at you. Oh that's true. I mean, my gosh, this is get out of DC. All right, I will all right. That'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
