You've got the stuff going on over in 13 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,399 Eure up between Ukraine and Russia, some movement on that. 14 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,119 But I wanted to start on an underreported story. I'll 15 00:00:43,119 --> 00:00:46,359 call it the underreported story of the weekend. And you've 16 00:00:46,359 --> 00:00:49,880 got to go out west to Albuquerque, New Mexico for 17 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,399 this story to start. And it's where a fire broke 18 00:00:53,439 --> 00:00:57,240 out at the entrance of the Republican Party of New Mexico. 19 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,200 This happened very early yesterday morning, before six am local time. 20 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:07,159 Now fires happen electrical fires, storms rolling through, lightning strikes 21 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,840 cause the fire. There are plenty of reasons why something 22 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,719 can catch on fire. However, this was not the case 23 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,799 of a freak natural disaster Mother Nature. This was not 24 00:01:17,879 --> 00:01:20,480 the case of some shoddy electrical work that caused the 25 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,000 building to burn down. No, this is a case of 26 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,840 arson perpetrated on the Republican Party of New Mexico. So 27 00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:31,359 the fire rescue responded shortly before six o'clock yesterday morning 28 00:01:31,519 --> 00:01:34,040 to find the front entrance of the building on fire. 29 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,319 When crews arrived, fortunately quickly five to ten minutes, they 30 00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:40,319 were able to get everything under control and for the 31 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,079 most part, save the majority of the building, even though 32 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,480 there is significant fire, water and smoke damage throughout the 33 00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:49,799 rest of the facility. And so this of course brings 34 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,879 forward a very interesting question. How did this fire start 35 00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:57,760 and local officials in fact are investigating it as a 36 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,640 case of arson, and why might that be the first 37 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,280 place that they're going Well, spray painted on the side 38 00:02:04,359 --> 00:02:06,959 of the building. We're not dealing with the most intelligent 39 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,080 folks here, ladies and gentlemen. Spray painted on the side 40 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,080 of the building in red spray paint was ice ic 41 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,319 equals KKK. That's what was spray painted on the side 42 00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:22,479 of the building, Not more than fifteen feet from the 43 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,680 burning entrance of the New Mexico Republican Party office yesterday morning. 44 00:02:28,479 --> 00:02:32,680 So this is once again a case of political violence 45 00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:37,400 being perpetrated by the progressive left. Now, of course, the 46 00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:40,439 irony in all of this is the fact that it's 47 00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:44,560 the same individuals on the left. It's the same organizations 48 00:02:44,719 --> 00:02:48,840 on the left, the likes of which CNN, MSNBC, the 49 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:54,680 major news network's NBCCBSABC, there are always ones talking about 50 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,360 and we've really got to just ratchet down this political violence. Right, 51 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,879 how many times have you been told that you need 52 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,400 to be part of the solution lowering the political temperature. 53 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,199 No pun intended with the story in New Mexico. Yet 54 00:03:08,199 --> 00:03:13,159 it's the same individuals that espounde this message that tell 55 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,840 us as Republicans, us as conservatives that we need to 56 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,120 ratchet down our political rhetoric. While they're out there burning 57 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,439 buildings to the ground, while they're out there throwing malotov 58 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,719 cocktails at the entrance of the Republican Party of New 59 00:03:29,759 --> 00:03:33,919 Mexico's office at five thirty am on a Sunday morning, 60 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,719 it's the same group of individuals. Now, of course, this 61 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,439 idea that you can blame one entity for this. Now, 62 00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:48,080 hopefully they find the individual or individuals who are behind 63 00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:51,080 this act that decided that they were going to take 64 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,120 it upon themselves to destroy this property, to try and 65 00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,520 burn this building down. Hopefully those individuals are caught, captured 66 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,879 and then of course have to deal with the full 67 00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:05,919 throat of the judicial system thrown at them, as they should. 68 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,560 They should have the book absolutely thrown at them. But 69 00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:15,599 let's not bury the lead on this. The uptick in 70 00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:19,839 political violence that we are seeing in our country, this 71 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,680 is being fueled by one side, and one side alone, 72 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,879 and that is the far left fringes of the Democrat Party. 73 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,360 If you want to look at who is driving a 74 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,319 narrative right now that is leading individuals to believe that 75 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,600 it is appropriate, that it is acceptable that it is 76 00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:43,319 okay to go in firebomb a building at five o'clock 77 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,680 in the morning on a Sunday. There is no other 78 00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:49,160 place to look than the mainstream media and the individuals 79 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,360 that they continue to invite on their news networks and 80 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,560 on their programs. These are the individuals that are stoking 81 00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:00,000 the fear of the American people that cause these things 82 00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:05,920 to take place. There is undoubtedly a correlition, a correlation 83 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,079 between the two things. When over the last three months now, 84 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,079 all you've heard, if you watch MSNBC or CNN, is 85 00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:19,600 about how awful Donald Trump, how awful Elon Musk, how 86 00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:23,920 awful the Republicans, how awful the Conservatives, whatever group, how 87 00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:27,920 awful these people are. They're stripping away rights from women, 88 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,000 They're doing this to that group, They're doing this other 89 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,120 thing to this other group. This is all that you've 90 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,439 heard for three months now, and by the way, probably 91 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,079 part of the larger message of everything you've heard for 92 00:05:39,519 --> 00:05:43,160 nearly the past decade as it revolves around Donald Trump. 93 00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:47,439 It makes sense that something like this happens. It makes 94 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,639 sense that somebody thinks that this is an appropriate thing 95 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,959 to do. It makes sense that individuals carry out the 96 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,240 will of these news networks, of these commentators, of the these 97 00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:03,879 expert analysts that they bring on to talk about politics, 98 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,240 because this is what they're calling for now. Of course, 99 00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:09,839 they don't go on CNN and say burn down the 100 00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:13,639 Republican Party of New Mexico's office. But when you stoke 101 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,920 the fear of these individuals day after day, hour after hour, 102 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,639 minute after minute on these news programs, day in and 103 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,639 day out. Are you really surprised that this is the result. 104 00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:30,120 I'm not. I'm not surprised that individuals are taking this 105 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,439 into their own hands and acting this way. This is 106 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,279 what they've been told. The people that they're doing this to, 107 00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:39,560 in this case, the Republican Party of New Mexico are. 108 00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 3: The worst people that have ever existed. They're trying to 109 00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:47,279 strip away everybody's rights. They're trying to destroy democracy. They're 110 00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:51,759 being akin to Aidolf Hitler and the Nazis. So why 111 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,079 are we shocked? Why are we surprised that this is 112 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:55,879 taking place? 113 00:06:58,439 --> 00:07:01,399 Speaker 2: Yet? We need to tone down the political rhetoric, right, 114 00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:06,839 We need to roll back some of the nasty, vitriolic 115 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,680 things that are said by both sides of the political aisle. 116 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,879 When is the laft going to start practicing what they preach? Now, 117 00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:17,600 don't hold your breath on that, you'll end up passing out, 118 00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:21,480 of course, But at what point do we start looking 119 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,040 at these individuals and holding them responsible all of this. 120 00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:29,600 Woke up to the store this story this morning, with 121 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,439 all of this going on, Just look at what's happened 122 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,360 over the last couple of weeks where you've had dozens 123 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,800 of videos making their way to social media showing deranged 124 00:07:39,879 --> 00:07:45,279 leftist lunatics defacing individuals private properties. What are they doing 125 00:07:45,319 --> 00:07:48,720 while they're keing people's cars? What kind of cars are 126 00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:52,240 they keen? Well, the likes of Elon Musk and Tesla. 127 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,319 Now they're not keing Elon Musk's car, They're not keing 128 00:07:56,439 --> 00:08:00,639 the cars of Tesla employees. They're keying the cars of private, 129 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,160 everyday individuals and citizens who are just minding their own 130 00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:06,879 business and shopping, only to walk out and see that 131 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,399 their car has scratch marks all over the side of it. 132 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,680 Why are they doing that? That's the exact same thing. 133 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,199 They've been misrepresented and lied to by the mainstream media 134 00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:21,319 about everything awful that's going on in the world right now, 135 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,600 and one man. That are two men or three men 136 00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:25,959 that are responsible for all of it going wrong, and 137 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,879 these individuals are acting out now. They're trying to be 138 00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:31,040 sly with it. Of course when it comes to the 139 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,360 Tesla cars, only to have them I guess not understanding. 140 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,159 They're too stupid to understand and realize that these cars 141 00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:41,679 have cameras covering literally the entirety of them. So all 142 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,559 of these people's pictures, all of their videos have ended 143 00:08:44,639 --> 00:08:48,399 up all over social media. Local law enforcement has videos 144 00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:51,240 and pictures of these people and with their sunglasses on 145 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,320 being the Resistance party keying up somebody's car in a 146 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,720 parking lot because they hate Elon Musk, they hate the Republicans, 147 00:08:59,759 --> 00:09:02,919 they have Trump by concerns, they and everybody because they're 148 00:09:02,919 --> 00:09:07,000 party lost back in November. So their solution since then 149 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,639 has been, well, let's burned down offices and let's destroy 150 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,799 people's private properties. And I think this is going to 151 00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:16,440 end very poorly for the LAFT big time. 152 00:09:16,879 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: All right, if you're listening to this show, you know 153 00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:20,799 I try to keep up with all sorts of current events, 154 00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:22,879 and I know you do too, And you've probably heard 155 00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:26,960 me say get your news from multiple sources.

Lee's hanging online. 174 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,440 One lead. Good afternoon, You're on the Peak Counter show 175 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:26,919 with Nick Craig. 176 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 4: Go ahead, Hey, So I was listening to what you 177 00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:34,200 were just saying. First of all, I just found your 178 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,159 radio station. Actually just a couple of days ago. You 179 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,639 were talking about sank Advice, So I wanted to thank 180 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,120 you for that, But I wanted to make a comment 181 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:50,519 about what was stated about it being far left that 182 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,840 was the only ones doing damage. 183 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,879 Speaker 5: Sure, Okay, So. 184 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,399 Speaker 6: I'm not a affiliate with the parties because I know 185 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,840 everybody can hear and they're probably gonna made a sentence 186 00:11:03,879 --> 00:11:07,879 backlash from I'm not affiliated with the party. I evaluate. 187 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,080 I go through the information and I make my own 188 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,759 own decision on who I choose. And I really don't 189 00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:22,200 think it's necessarily accurate to say it's the far just 190 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,039 the far left. 191 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 2: I think in all of these cases it is exclusively 192 00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:30,720 the far left, though right. I mean the individuals that 193 00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:35,159 are burning Tesla dealerships down and King individuals cars and 194 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,240 fire bombing or GOP office yesterday. I mean that is 195 00:11:38,279 --> 00:11:39,679 exclusively the far left. 196 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 4: Okay. 197 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,639 Speaker 6: Does anybody know who did the fire that just happened, 198 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,320 because if you my what my thought process is is 199 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,759 looking at everything. Are the far right not mad too? 200 00:11:59,720 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 7: Sure? 201 00:12:00,039 --> 00:12:02,919 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean far what the far right was 202 00:12:02,919 --> 00:12:05,279 mad for four years under Joe Biden. I didn't see 203 00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:08,559 local Democrat Party offices going up in flames across. 204 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 6: The country, Okay, And I understand that. 205 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 2: I mean I didn't see people driving around electric vehicles 206 00:12:14,919 --> 00:12:17,320 or people that had solar panels on their house. They're 207 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,039 their houses being burned to the ground because people on 208 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,840 the right disagreed with the Green New Deal. 209 00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:22,159 Speaker 3: Lee. 210 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,799 Speaker 2: I understand the point you're trying to get to, and 211 00:12:23,799 --> 00:12:26,159 that it's there is polarization on both sides of the 212 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,159 political aisle and I agree with that, and I don't 213 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,200 think there's there's not much to argue, but there's one 214 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,679 big difference. What there's one huge difference when the right 215 00:12:35,879 --> 00:12:40,200 axe out, it is the responsibility of every elected Republican, 216 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,759 the president, and everybody associated with Republicans and Conservatives to 217 00:12:44,879 --> 00:12:48,399 answer for that person. When somebody on the left axe out, 218 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,639 when a GOP office is burned down in New Mexico, 219 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,120 when individuals are roaming around mall parking lots keing people's cars. 220 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,039 I didn't see any microphones in front of any Democrats 221 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,759 this morning. I didn'te any microphones in front of Jasmine 222 00:13:01,799 --> 00:13:05,799 Crockett space this morning. Is she's yelling obscenities in Congress 223 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,159 about Elon Musk and Donald Trump. There's no accountability. There's 224 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,960 not even a story on CNN or MSNBC's website about it. 225 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,279 I can promise you this, and I appreciate your call 226 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,600 this afternoonly, thanks for listening. If this was something that 227 00:13:19,759 --> 00:13:21,720 was happening on the other side of the political aisle, 228 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,759 if a group of Republicans burned down a Democrat Party 229 00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:29,360 office yesterday, Donald Trump would already have been hauled in 230 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,879 front of Congress and would have microphones in front of 231 00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:35,399 his face, asking him why he caused this to take place, 232 00:13:35,879 --> 00:13:38,799 why he allowed this to happen. I mean, that's the 233 00:13:38,879 --> 00:13:41,720 big difference, and that's what's really frustrating to me, is 234 00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:45,279 it's not called out equally. Political violence is bad when 235 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,320 individuals act out based on their politics, act out based 236 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,360 on the fact that they like or don't like one 237 00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:54,360 side of the political party or asle or issue or 238 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:59,240 whatever it is. But it's not equally implied. When Republicans 239 00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:02,679 act out, it's a threat to democracy. When Democrats act out, 240 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,360 that didn't happen. There's no news coverage about it. It 241 00:14:06,159 --> 00:14:10,120 practically didn't even happen. And that's a major major problem. 242 00:14:10,159 --> 00:14:12,279 And that's how I see this playing out. And it's 243 00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:16,360 unfortunate because individuals should be held responsible for the things 244 00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:19,080 that they do. I mean, there's just no question about it. 245 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,840 But unfortunately that's not what happens on That's not what 246 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,559 happens on both sides of the political lie. There is 247 00:14:25,799 --> 00:14:28,720 literally nothing If you go to CNN or MSNBC's website 248 00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:32,320 right now, there's nothing on there. It's as if the 249 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,279 story didn't happen, as if there's nothing that happened at all. 250 00:14:36,879 --> 00:14:39,840 This was not a local GOP I mean, this was 251 00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:46,360 the GOP headquarters in New Mexico. Yet no conversation about 252 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,840 it where there's no microphones in front of members of 253 00:14:49,879 --> 00:14:52,879 Congress this morning asking them why they're rhetoric on the 254 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,879 left is responsible for this taking place. How about all 255 00:14:56,919 --> 00:15:00,639 of the individuals who have had their personal vehicles faced 256 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,279 over the last two months because they decided to go 257 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,200 out and buy the car that the left told them 258 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,440 they needed to buy. Right, that's, of course the irony 259 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,960 with the whole Tesla thing. Now, these cars are what 260 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,679 the left said you need to go out and buy 261 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,080 so the planet doesn't spontaneously combust due to climate change. 262 00:15:17,559 --> 00:15:19,200 You go out and you buy a Tesla, and now 263 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,840 it's getting keyed in a mall parking lot because Elon 264 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,720 Musk is working with the Department of Government Efficiency. It's 265 00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:28,720 just insanity. Seven oh four, five, seven oh eleven, ten. 266 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,240 Let's head back to our phone lines, line three.

The guess that the left is 301 00:16:56,559 --> 00:16:59,320 painting that you guys are all in favor of political violence. 302 00:16:59,799 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 5: I why, Yeah, Hey, did you complain so much about Denver? 303 00:17:04,519 --> 00:17:08,319 Speaker 2: Absolutely, individuals that trespassed on the US capital should have 304 00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:10,160 been held. Yeah, absolutely, I do. 305 00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:12,519 Speaker 5: Well, what do you think about him letting all of 306 00:17:12,519 --> 00:17:14,000 them go? It's some of the biggest criminals. What do 307 00:17:14,039 --> 00:17:14,599 you think about that? 308 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:15,319 Speaker 2: Like, who. 309 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 5: Oh, the leader of the Proud Boys, what do you 310 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,279 think about that? 311 00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 2: The guy that wasn't even in DC at the time. 312 00:17:21,799 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 5: I'm talking about the other would be who. 313 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,559 Speaker 2: Get out of here? Tony? I mean, come on, so 314 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,319 you're so you're so your your thought here is that 315 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,359 because of January sixth, it is okay for you, and 316 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,319 I guess you would do this yourself. By the sounds 317 00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:41,000 of it, you believe it's appropriate for you. It's appropriate 318 00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:43,720 for you to go into a mall parking lot and 319 00:17:43,799 --> 00:17:48,079 deface somebody's private property because you disagree with how something 320 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,200 was handled in the past. Do you not see the 321 00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:52,559 self destruction that you're bringing forward? 322 00:17:53,519 --> 00:17:55,839 Speaker 5: The republic calls this and so it is. 323 00:17:55,799 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: Really absolutely there you go. That is the typical leftist. 324 00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:04,319 It is always the those Republicans, Those damn Republicans have 325 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,640 caused every problem. I just don't know how the left 326 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,599 comes back from this. So not only is this stuff 327 00:18:11,599 --> 00:18:13,599 happening on the left, then you've got people like Tony 328 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,160 who are championing this on and then we wonder why 329 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,880 the Democrat Party had a miserable election cycle in November. 330 00:18:22,319 --> 00:18:26,839 We wonder why the American people rejected the Left their 331 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,319 policies and their politics back in November of last year. 332 00:18:30,319 --> 00:18:33,680 It can't possibly because of because of the rhetoric we 333 00:18:33,799 --> 00:18:35,839 just heard from Tony. Can't possibly be that. 334 00:18:36,279 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: Here's a great idea.

It seems to be 357 00:19:54,079 --> 00:19:56,720 all the rage these days. There was a story over 358 00:19:56,759 --> 00:20:01,599 the weekend out of New Mexico where a republic Republican 359 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,079 Party office in New Mexico outside the Albuquerque area was 360 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,680 firebombed yesterday morning by a group of individuals. We don't 361 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,920 know who they are yet, but they spray painted on 362 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,039 the side of the building some of the typical Democrat 363 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,079 tropes that would lead you to believe that this was 364 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,400 obviously politically motivated. And the thing that I find myself 365 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,839 frustrated with this morning is how there's no coverage of it. 366 00:20:24,759 --> 00:20:27,480 I'm opposed to political violence on both sides of the 367 00:20:27,519 --> 00:20:32,400 political aisle, whether you are a Trump card carrying conservative 368 00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:36,160 or a fringe radical leftist. I am not okay with 369 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,119 political violence. But I do find it to be quite 370 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,319 ironic that anytime there's a Republican involved in anything that 371 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,839 can be deemed politically violent, that there are cameras and 372 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,359 microphones in front of every single Republican in this country's 373 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,279 face asking them to condemn these actions. What do you 374 00:20:56,319 --> 00:20:58,240 have to say to the individuals that purptray it. Do 375 00:20:58,279 --> 00:21:01,400 you condemn what your parties stands for every single time? 376 00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:05,839 Yet you've got people's private property. They're Tesla cars that 377 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,000 have been keyed and burned up all over the United 378 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,599 States over the last couple of weeks. You've got a 379 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,640 Republican party that got fire bombed at six o'clock yesterday 380 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,079 morning by a group of deranged leftists, and mum's the word. 381 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,559 It's not even talked about. It's not even on CNN 382 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,640 or MSNBC's website as a story. That's how little they 383 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,000 want to talk about it. So my question is, I 384 00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:32,839 think is a fair one. If you're truly against political violence, 385 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,960 like we always hear from the left, how we need 386 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,920 to turn the temperature down, ratchet down the rhetoric over 387 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,720 and over again. Why don't you guys speak up when 388 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,680 your party is responsible for Why don't you speak up 389 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,759 when individuals on the left act a foul? You have 390 00:21:49,799 --> 00:21:52,359 no problem doing it when Republicans act out of turn, 391 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,680 You have no problem doing it when it fits your 392 00:21:55,839 --> 00:22:00,240 political narrative. And maybe that's what this all comes down to. 393 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,359 Maybe it's not actually lowering the political rhetoric. Maybe it's 394 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,160 not actually lowering the political temperature in this country. Maybe 395 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,200 it's just about pushing our agenda forward. And I think 396 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,759 that's exactly the case when you look at why there's 397 00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:17,720 no coverage of this at all, why there's very little 398 00:22:17,759 --> 00:22:22,319 coverage of individuals private property being keyed and burned and 399 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,759 scratched up all over the United States because they committed 400 00:22:25,759 --> 00:22:28,680 the cardinal sin of driving a car that the left 401 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,359 told them they needed to buy to save the planet 402 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,079 and save the environment. The irony there is is pretty rich. 403 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,359 Let's have to head on over to a Ligne four 404 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,240 at seven oh four five, seven eleven ten, angel is 405 00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:42,000 hanging on the line. Angela, You're on the Peak Calendar 406 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:42,680 show with Nick Craig. 407 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,079 Speaker 8: Go ahead, Hey there, Nick, I'm just responding to the 408 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,200 person that called before. Tony is extremely sad, very sad 409 00:22:51,279 --> 00:22:54,359 to see the attitude that people are having violence doesn't 410 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,119 give you anything, does they answer anything. I feel like 411 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,559 most people need to know their facts. That's why I mean, 412 00:23:01,599 --> 00:23:04,920 it sounds ridiculous that he is really wanting violence city 413 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,839 to answer and he's okay with things like this happening. 414 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,039 Innocent people are getting their cars targeted. It's just not right, 415 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,599 and I cannot believe. We just need Jesus, that's what 416 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,079 we need to stop blaming everybody else, try to do 417 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,640 the right thing, treat people like they're supposed to treat it. 418 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,480 Get I mean, the politics needs to just get out 419 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,000 of it. I mean, these people's cars are being burned up. 420 00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:27,559 There are people picketing outside of when these are the 421 00:23:27,599 --> 00:23:30,920 same people who wanted us to have all electric cars 422 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,559 and clean up the air. And it's just crazy. It's 423 00:23:34,559 --> 00:23:36,720 just so contradicting. But then it just kills me that 424 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,240 you want to save the air, okay, And how are 425 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,759 we supposed to how do we power these electric cars? 426 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,559 Speaker 2: Well, of course we power them with colon steam plants 427 00:23:46,599 --> 00:23:47,440 all over the country. 428 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,759 Speaker 8: M hmm, Okay, I mean, I don't know. It's just 429 00:23:51,799 --> 00:23:54,039 so upside down and so backwards. We need to get 430 00:23:54,079 --> 00:23:55,599 back to the basics. 431 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,519 Speaker 2: I just don't know why anybody, regardless of where you 432 00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:02,960 stand on political spectrum, why you would be advocating for 433 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,160 political violence right now. I was plenty upset over the 434 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,039 last four years. I was not happy with the previous administration. Angela. 435 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,039 I I would presume you probably weren't super thrilled with 436 00:24:14,079 --> 00:24:17,440 the previous illustration. But at no point was it my 437 00:24:17,759 --> 00:24:20,799 idea or a good thought for anybody on the right 438 00:24:20,839 --> 00:24:22,400 to say, you know what, the solution to this is, 439 00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:25,319 let's go burn down some Democrat party headquarters. I just 440 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,759 never heard that taking place at all on the right. 441 00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:29,920 I didn't see it. I didn't hear it. 442 00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 8: You just create even more havoc. I mean, wow, I 443 00:24:33,759 --> 00:24:36,000 mean that's not the solution. Just keep on digging and 444 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000 digging and diggan. We're not gonna get anywhere. I mean, 445 00:24:38,799 --> 00:24:41,839 none of this makes sense. Violence is not the answer. 446 00:24:42,079 --> 00:24:44,680 You should not start balance with ending balance. You should 447 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,039 not retaliate or anything like that. I mean, we need 448 00:24:47,079 --> 00:24:50,640 to get down to nitty gritty and work together, work together. 449 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,920 But I am very upset and disappointed that the gentleman 450 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,519 before and gentlemen's last week called in and they were 451 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,240 for all of this violence. Now, what I would like 452 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,920 to ask them is what if this was their family 453 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,480 member's car or their family members a place of business 454 00:25:06,599 --> 00:25:07,319 that was targeted. 455 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 2: And that's and that's exactly the case, Angela, And that's 456 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,279 what's so disappointing about all of it taking place. I 457 00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:17,640 appreciate your words and your call this afternoon at seven 458 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,559 oh four or five, seven eleven ten. I mean, that's 459 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,759 exactly the case. It's it sounds great on paper, you 460 00:25:24,839 --> 00:25:27,680 might sound great to post on social media, but we're 461 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,960 talking about people that are being really impacted by this. 462 00:25:31,079 --> 00:25:34,880 The employees of this local GOP office that we are 463 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,240 not working this morning and probably won't be working for 464 00:25:37,319 --> 00:25:39,200 some time due to the fact that the front of 465 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,799 their building was burned and is completely torched. I'm looking 466 00:25:42,799 --> 00:25:45,960 at the pictures on a local news station out of Albuquerque. 467 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,240 With these pictures, I mean, these people aren't going to 468 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,960 work today. They're not. I mean, if they are, they've 469 00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:53,200 got brooms and mops in their hands cleaning up the 470 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,400 destruction left behind. I just don't know why we would 471 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,279 be at a period in time right now where we 472 00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:02,160 would think that it is good to egg this on, 473 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,119 to make comments that this is somehow going to lead 474 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:12,039 to what the complete and total Unless you're just for 475 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,079 the complete and total destruction of the American system, you 476 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,559 should not be in favor of this right because once 477 00:26:19,599 --> 00:26:23,640 you start traveling down this road, when you say, okay, fine, 478 00:26:24,039 --> 00:26:26,519 eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, both sides 479 00:26:26,559 --> 00:26:29,119 can do whatever they want, and individuals are allowed to 480 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,799 attack you on the street if they disagree with you politically. 481 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,519 But where is that going to lead us? I mean, 482 00:26:33,559 --> 00:26:36,559 if you critically think, where is this going to lead us? 483 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,519 It's not anywhere prosperous. It's not anywhere that you and 484 00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:43,799 I would ever want to live. We would never want 485 00:26:43,839 --> 00:26:46,000 to live in a society like that. You can go 486 00:26:46,079 --> 00:26:48,680 back and read the history books on those societies. Turns 487 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,400 out they don't exist anymore. You don't have to have 488 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,480 a PhD in history or political science or political history 489 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,480 to understand what the progression of this looks like. And 490 00:27:01,559 --> 00:27:04,400 you look at these situations with the cars that are 491 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,599 being destroyed in people's yards or their driveways and out 492 00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:12,200 at malls and shopping centers or whatever. Folks, I can 493 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,440 tell you how this ends. And it's a scary proposition. 494 00:27:16,039 --> 00:27:19,240 Somebody is going to get severely injured and or killed 495 00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:22,680 when they go and try and scrape up somebody's car, 496 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,920 when they try and break through the window and throw 497 00:27:26,079 --> 00:27:28,559 a lip moll Toov cocktail in there. That's what this 498 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,599 is going to progress to. I mean, this is where 499 00:27:31,599 --> 00:27:35,240 this leads. When you continue to ratchet this up, somebody 500 00:27:35,319 --> 00:27:38,319 is going to get severely injured or god forbid killed 501 00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:41,880 because of their actions that they're playing out. We don't 502 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,599 want that. I don't want that. The fact that some 503 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,559 people do is a very, very scary proposition. 504 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: All right, So spring is here a time of renewal 505 00:27:51,519 --> 00:27:56,039 and celebrations.

Are they preserved? Because over time, these precious 511 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,559 memories can fade and deteriorate, losing the magic of yesterday. 512 00:28:16,799 --> 00:28:19,920 At Creative Video, they help you protect what matters most. 513 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:24,039 Their expert team digitizes your cherished family moments and transfers 514 00:28:24,039 --> 00:28:26,880 them onto a USB drive, freezing them in time so 515 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,960 they can be enjoyed for generations to come.

Five. Welcome to the Peak 524 00:28:57,079 --> 00:28:57,960 counter show. Go ahead. 525 00:28:58,799 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, thanks. 526 00:29:00,599 --> 00:29:00,799 Speaker 7: Yeah. 527 00:29:00,799 --> 00:29:05,519 Speaker 9: I don't think Tony represents what the majority of Democrats think. 528 00:29:05,599 --> 00:29:09,200 I mean, violence is not a solution of any kind, 529 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:16,680 whether it's vandalizing cars or bombing with Republican campaign offices, 530 00:29:16,759 --> 00:29:20,279 which I hadn't heard about. But uh so, yeah, he 531 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,480 is a very small, a small minority, as are I 532 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,279 think people on the right they want to have political violence. 533 00:29:29,319 --> 00:29:32,279 But said that, I might want to remind. 534 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,759 Speaker 10: You, and you can look this up if you don't 535 00:29:33,799 --> 00:29:36,839 believe me. But in Biden's last I think it was 536 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,920 his last State of the Union or speech to Congress, 537 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:45,599 he said, and political violence has no place in this country. 538 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,200 And they panned over to the Republican side of Congress. 539 00:29:49,359 --> 00:29:53,279 Speaker 9: And no one stood up, and no one clapped. I 540 00:29:53,319 --> 00:29:56,599 can't you know, I can't tax volumes to It's true, 541 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:01,680 it's what happened. It's a reality. So I think Tony 542 00:30:01,759 --> 00:30:04,680 has a fair point in that comparing scratching a few 543 00:30:04,759 --> 00:30:10,160 teslas compared to going to Congress and trying to overthrow 544 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,599 the government killing policemen is a bit of a stretch 545 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:14,839 of a comparison, don't. 546 00:30:15,039 --> 00:30:17,359 Speaker 2: I didn't make that comparison at all, though I'm making 547 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,799 good Well, yeah, but I mean you're framing of that 548 00:30:20,079 --> 00:30:22,960 is wholly inaccurate. I mean, I mean, here's the real. 549 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,960 Here's the reality. John, Political violence, as you stated, and 550 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,319 I am in full agreement with you, is not acceptable. 551 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,880 There's no I don't know of anybody besides a previous 552 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,920 caller that's making the argument that it is somehow appropriate 553 00:30:36,119 --> 00:30:38,039 or good or the eye for an eye, tooth for 554 00:30:38,079 --> 00:30:41,039 a tooth is going to lead us to great American prosperity. 555 00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,000 I don't know anybody that's making that argument. Now we're 556 00:30:44,039 --> 00:30:46,440 in total agreement. This is the issue that I have. 557 00:30:46,519 --> 00:30:49,119 And it comes down to the fact that this the 558 00:30:49,519 --> 00:30:52,559 political tension that we are feeling in the country right now, 559 00:30:52,599 --> 00:30:54,680 which you could cut with a knife, almost as bad 560 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,799 as the humidity this afternoon. It's very, very real, and 561 00:30:57,839 --> 00:31:00,680 it's very much there, and I'm not going to miss that. 562 00:31:00,799 --> 00:31:03,880 People are freaked out on both sides of the political aisle. 563 00:31:04,079 --> 00:31:06,519 There's a lot going on in our country right now. 564 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,880 What I'm what i' and this is what I find 565 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,039 myself very frustrated with, is that you've got this rhetoric 566 00:31:13,079 --> 00:31:15,279 that continues to take place on the left, and you 567 00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:18,720 see it constantly all the time about how Donald Trump, 568 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,440 Elon Musk, and anybody who affiliates or associates with those 569 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,599 two individuals are not only a threat to democracy, which 570 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,480 of course we're not a democracy, we're a democratic republic, 571 00:31:28,519 --> 00:31:32,200 but we're the threat to democracy. They're akin to some 572 00:31:32,279 --> 00:31:35,839 of the worst individuals that have ever existed in world history, 573 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,200 the likes of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi revolution in 574 00:31:39,279 --> 00:31:42,640 Germany in the nineteen thirties. I mean, that has an impact. 575 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,799 And that's what I find myself so frustrated with as 576 00:31:45,839 --> 00:31:49,960 we continue down this what is a very politicized time 577 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,920 that we're living in right now, You've got individuals that 578 00:31:53,039 --> 00:31:58,440 continue propagating this message, continue propagating this narrative. And this 579 00:31:58,519 --> 00:32:02,640 is where it leads when you tell individuals day after day, 580 00:32:02,839 --> 00:32:05,680 hour after hour, minute after minute, on these cable news 581 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,799 programs that it is okay to act in this manner 582 00:32:09,119 --> 00:32:13,720 because of everything that's happening right when you're fighting against 583 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,400 Ela Musk, when you're scratching up a tesla in a 584 00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:21,680 in a supermarket parking lot, when you're doing that under 585 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,759 the guise of Ela Musk aka Adolf Hitler, Right, that's 586 00:32:25,759 --> 00:32:29,599 how these lines are drawn. That's what's so frustrating to 587 00:32:29,599 --> 00:32:32,160 me about what you're seeing right now. The narrative is 588 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,799 being pushed very, very heavily by the left. And if 589 00:32:36,839 --> 00:32:38,920 you had a bunch of Republicans out here saying the 590 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,319 same thing, I'd feel the exact same way. I would 591 00:32:42,319 --> 00:32:46,400 have the exact same comments if it were taking place 592 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,759 on the right. But it's not, And that's really what's 593 00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:51,920 so frustrating about all of this. Let's jump back to 594 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,039 our phone lines. At seven oh four or five seven 595 00:32:54,119 --> 00:32:57,599 oh eleven, ten Kirk spent patiently waiting online. Three Kirk, 596 00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,559 Good afternoon. You're on the Peak counter show with Nick Craig. 597 00:32:59,599 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 7: Go ahead, good afternoon, Neck. How you doing. 598 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 2: I'm doing great, so I hope you are. 599 00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 7: Yes, sir, I appreciate you taking my call. You know, 600 00:33:07,799 --> 00:33:11,200 with all this violence, when you look at it, like 601 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,920 Jasmin Crockett says about Senator Cruz. You got to hit 602 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,400 him over to head, You got to hit him over 603 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,039 to head hard. She's actually promoting going out and doing this, 604 00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:25,880 and as a member of Congress, that doesn't really look 605 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:30,240 too good. Supposedly she's an attorney, so she would she 606 00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:33,039 should note that she is actually not only promoting violence, 607 00:33:33,319 --> 00:33:36,440 she is threatening violence against a sitting senator. 608 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,079 Speaker 2: I mean, and my question, my question this morning, Kirk, 609 00:33:41,119 --> 00:33:43,240 is were there any cameras in her face this morning 610 00:33:43,319 --> 00:33:46,079 as she came back to Washington, d C. Asking her 611 00:33:46,079 --> 00:33:48,519 about this political violence? And I believe the answer to 612 00:33:48,519 --> 00:33:49,279 that question is no. 613 00:33:50,559 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 7: Oh, the answer is no. There they have different folks 614 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,720 that do these little blips where you get to see 615 00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,079 it and hear it. But no, never asked her about it. 616 00:34:00,119 --> 00:34:04,160 And every time she speaks it's always about like she 617 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,920 talked about the governor, calling him hot wheels because he's 618 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,280 a hot mess. 619 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, talking about Greg Abbot, Greg Abbott who's a paraplegic 620 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,719 and his handicapped is in a wheelchair. That's what she 621 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,280 said about greg Abbott. It's insane. 622 00:34:17,559 --> 00:34:20,760 Speaker 7: Well she's doing she did her speech. She says, oh, 623 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,199 you know, it's because you know, he's a hot mess 624 00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:25,960 because we have all this hot ass leather down here in. 625 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,599 Speaker 2: Texas, exactly I mean and reframing. 626 00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 7: If you know her. No, it's not that. 627 00:34:34,119 --> 00:34:36,679 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And again what I find myself frustrated with, and 628 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,840 it's a great call this afternoon, Kirk, greatly appreciated, is 629 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,840 it's just not handled equally. I mean, that's the issue 630 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,000 that I've got. I am against political violence. I'll state 631 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,840 it once again in case I haven't been clear over 632 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,480 the last hour. I am against political violence. But if 633 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,800 the media is going to be so quick to run 634 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,199 in front of every Republican that's ever been elected in 635 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,800 the history of the United States to ask for their 636 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,119 comment when political violeviolence shows up on the right, then 637 00:35:02,159 --> 00:35:04,159 they need to be held to the exact same standard 638 00:35:04,159 --> 00:35:05,719 when it shows up on the left and they're not. 639 00:35:06,639 --> 00:35:09,840 And that, to me, I find that to be incredibly, 640 00:35:10,159 --> 00:35:14,639 incredibly frustrating. If these same individuals that are constantly talking 641 00:35:14,679 --> 00:35:19,119 about lowering the political temperature, if they truly cared about 642 00:35:19,119 --> 00:35:21,960 doing so, they would hold their own party just as 643 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,159 accountable as they hold those folks on the right, which 644 00:35:24,199 --> 00:35:27,119 I wish they did, because we should both sides should 645 00:35:27,159 --> 00:35:29,920 be held to account equally for out of control rhetoric 646 00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:32,039 that leads to political violence. 647 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,559 Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for this episode.
