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.
Speaker 2: Oh and by the.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 2: What is that?
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 2: As J. R. R.
Speaker 1: 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?

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.
All right, if you're listening to this show, you know
I try to keep up with all sorts of current events,
and I know you do too, And you've probably heard
me say get your news from multiple sources. Why Well,

Let me jump over and get Lisa on the program. Hello, Lisa,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: Hi, how are you hey, I'm good.
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 3: 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.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 3: 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.
Speaker 1: Oh sure, oh yeah.
Speaker 3: 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.
Speaker 1: Is their significant other, the father of their child. They're
unborn child.
Speaker 3: 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.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate the call. I think it's a very
good point. Thank you very much, have a great weekend.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: 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. Here's a great idea. How about making
an escape to a really special and secluded getaway in

program weekdays here in WBT three to six. Brett, how
art thou it is?
Speaker 2: I am great, I'm happy to be with you. What
a what a week? What a week this has been?
Speaker 1: What a week this has been?
Speaker 4: It really has it?
Speaker 1: Really was a week.
Speaker 2: A lot of it.
Speaker 1: Okay, So thoughts on the subchucker? What do you think
the subchucker?
Speaker 2: I have I have no opinion on the show.
Speaker 1: You have no opinion on the subchucker. Sean Dunn, let's
be polite, call him finished. Yeah, uh Sean Donn a
former federal employee.
Speaker 2: Because he got oh you're talking about the sandwich guy?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what'd you think I was talking about?
Speaker 2: I didn't the sub chucker.
Speaker 4: I thought it was something that was like a piece
of you know, territory in the buildings or something.
Speaker 2: But oh like subterranean.
Speaker 4: Okay, sorry, I made my position known yesterday on the
sub chucking.
Speaker 1: Okay, because he got to quit it.
Speaker 2: He did, he did, all right, it's it's awful.
Speaker 4: You should not be allowed to throw a sandwich on
an on a on an officer.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: But but the but the DC circuit is obviously, you know,
filled out by lunatics, just absolute lunatics.
Speaker 1: So we have jury nullification, is it?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 1: I think I think it was might.
Speaker 2: Be jelly no jury nullification.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, can I can I intervene in this thing
for a second.
Speaker 2: That's why you're here, my friend.
Speaker 4: Okay, here's so, then let's do this. Let's make it
not a sub The sub is not the issue.
Speaker 2: We're going hot, No.
Speaker 4: 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?
Speaker 2: What what if you what if you had heat with oil?
Speaker 4: Hot oil, hot oil, or or or dim sum or
something like that.
Speaker 2: I'm very hungry for for it right now for some reason,
for some reason.
Speaker 4: 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.
Speaker 1: 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?
Speaker 2: Oh that's awful, Yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Get yourself some of the uh yeah, like you like
a water a bottle of water?
Speaker 2: Was that like a Trantifa thing? Once? It?
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's brutal.
Speaker 4: That that's I have to I have to applaud your
creativity there.
Speaker 2: That's really quite something.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean like there's no way the officer could know. Yeah,
that you don't know what's coming at you.
Speaker 2: Oh that's true. I mean, my gosh, this is get
out of DC. All right, I will all right.
