0:09
Speaker 2: Good evening, Anna, Welcome to the Rita Patty Show. Coming
0:12
Speaker 2: up tonight. Donald Trump survives another attempt on his life
0:15
Speaker 2: by a radicalized leftist. I'll speak with Edward Lawrence who
0:19
Speaker 2: was at that dinner, and we'll give his inside account.
0:23
Speaker 2: Josh Hammer will join me to give his insights into
0:25
Speaker 2: the increasingly violent left. We'll look at the booing that
0:29
Speaker 2: occurred at anzac days ceremonies around the country with Dan Wilde,
0:33
Speaker 2: and later in the hour, Alex Stein will weigh into
0:36
Speaker 2: the latest Sidney Sweeney outrage and left He's losing it
0:41
Speaker 2: features this loser.
0:43
Speaker 3: Our first lady, Milania is here. Look at more so
0:46
Speaker 3: beautiful missus Trump. You have a glow like an expectant widow.
0:52
Speaker 2: But first, US President Donald Trump has survived another attempt
0:56
Speaker 2: on his life after a gunman opened fire at the
0:59
Speaker 2: White House, correspondent Stinner. The incident unfolded at the Washington Hilton,
1:04
Speaker 2: where shots were heard near eight security checkpoint. Secret Service
1:08
Speaker 2: agents moved quickly to escort the President, JD. Vance and
1:11
Speaker 2: other members of the Trump administration to safety. One agent
1:15
Speaker 2: was shot but was saved by his bulletproof fess. The
1:19
Speaker 2: suspect who is in custody is thirty one year old
1:22
Speaker 2: Californian Cole Thomas Allen. This individual has an extensive social
1:28
Speaker 2: media footprint raving and raging about Donald Trump, echoing many
1:33
Speaker 2: of the talking points we hear from the activist left.
1:37
Speaker 2: The president was asked why he is such a big target,
1:40
Speaker 2: and this was his response.
1:42
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I've studied assassinations, and I must tell you,
1:49
Speaker 4: the most impactful people, the people that do the most.
1:53
Speaker 4: You take a look at the people Abraham Lincoln. I mean,
1:57
Speaker 4: you go through the people that have gone through this
2:00
Speaker 4: where they got them. But the people that do the most,
2:04
Speaker 4: the people that make the biggest impact, they're the ones
2:07
Speaker 4: that they go after.
2:09
Speaker 2: Let's bring in Deputy Executive director of the Institute of
2:12
Speaker 2: Public Affairs Daniel Wild Dan seems like the left has
2:16
Speaker 2: a problem with political violence.
2:20
Speaker 5: Well, that's right.
2:21
Speaker 6: I mean, We've had a couple of attempts on Trump's
2:23
Speaker 6: life so far, and those are only the ones that
2:26
Speaker 6: we know about. Who knows how many other foiled attempts
2:29
Speaker 6: there have been. Of course, there was the assassination of
2:32
Speaker 6: Charlie kirk as well, and I think you're right to
2:35
Speaker 6: point out that there has been an escalation in the
2:37
Speaker 6: rhetric towards Trump. I mean, I can't remember any US
2:41
Speaker 6: president being treated this way in terms of the violent
2:44
Speaker 6: retric towards him. I think America is experiencing its most
2:48
Speaker 6: I think dangerous political periods, certainly since JFK. And look,
2:54
Speaker 6: I think that the all of those on social media
2:56
Speaker 6: and in the mainstream media that say very hateful things
3:00
Speaker 6: about Trump need to be aware that they are creating
3:03
Speaker 6: a pretty permissive atmosphere. We know that certainly happened with
3:07
Speaker 6: Charlie Kirk. And in terms of after Charlie Kirk was
3:10
Speaker 6: assassinated as well, as we discussed the disgusting retric that
3:13
Speaker 6: came out, always saying that Charlie Kirk deserved it and
3:16
Speaker 6: it was a good thing. Well, you know, you've got
3:18
Speaker 6: to sort of think about what that might do to
3:20
Speaker 6: the mentality of someone who's already inclined to undertake these
3:24
Speaker 6: kind of actions. So, look, I think this is a
3:26
Speaker 6: very much a moment where the nation needs to pause
3:29
Speaker 6: and think about what's really going on there.
3:33
Speaker 2: Yes, I think the media has played a part in
3:35
Speaker 2: creating that atmosphere. Certainly. Now let's go to local issues.
3:39
Speaker 2: And huge crowds gathered on Saturday, Franzac Day to pay
3:43
Speaker 2: tribute to Australia's veteran community. But in Melbourne, Perth and
3:46
Speaker 2: Sydney the dawn service was interrupted by loud booing. Let's
3:51
Speaker 2: look at a little of what happened in Sydney and Melbourne.
3:55
Speaker 7: For thousands of years, people have gathered in.
3:58
Speaker 1: This place.
4:01
Speaker 8: To share stories, to celebrate culture and.
4:07
Speaker 7: To remember our ancestors.
4:10
Speaker 9: I'm here to welcome everybody to my father's country, beautiful
4:14
Speaker 9: womern country. But before we do that, as always, we
4:22
Speaker 9: take a moment, we pay our acknowledgments and we pay
4:26
Speaker 9: our respects.
4:28
Speaker 4: Dan.
4:29
Speaker 2: This is becoming an annual debate, and it's always in
4:32
Speaker 2: the same terms. I rate politicians who forced this sort
4:36
Speaker 2: of racial division on the population, then condemning those who
4:41
Speaker 2: react poorly to it. Do it. The question is do
4:44
Speaker 2: we need to have a welcome to country on Ansac Day?
4:49
Speaker 5: No, we shouldn't.
4:51
Speaker 6: I think this will be the last year where that happens.
4:54
Speaker 6: You know, there's no denying that community sentiment has changed
4:58
Speaker 6: dramatically because the nature of welcome to countries is that
5:03
Speaker 6: they're not welcoming, right. They're bitter, they're hostile, their divisive,
5:09
Speaker 6: they're overused. People don't want them. Our diggers didn't fight
5:12
Speaker 6: to be welcome to their own country. I don't think
5:15
Speaker 6: that it's the time or the place to boo them.
5:18
Speaker 6: I didn't boo I wouldn't do it that format or
5:21
Speaker 6: that forum. But it's also not the place to do
5:23
Speaker 6: a welcome to country or acknowledgement to country. So I
5:26
Speaker 6: think this is the last time that they're going to
5:28
Speaker 6: be done. You cannot say that it was only a
5:32
Speaker 6: few people doing you know, it was pretty widespread. And
5:36
Speaker 6: again I don't condone it, but I totally understand the
5:38
Speaker 6: frustration of people because why do we keep having these
5:41
Speaker 6: ceremonies when the community is just completely and totally sick
5:47
Speaker 6: to death of this being imposed upon us. So it's
5:51
Speaker 6: just time to end them.
5:54
Speaker 2: Well, we had a vote. We voted against racial division,
5:57
Speaker 2: We voted against precisely the sort of politics that is
6:01
Speaker 2: behind and welcome to country, and perhaps this time authorities
6:05
Speaker 2: took note of that vote. Now we're expecting big changes
6:09
Speaker 2: to the capital gains tax and negative gearing provisions in
6:13
Speaker 2: the upcoming budget, but Dan in twenty twenty four. We're
6:16
Speaker 2: not talking too long ago, we had Treasurer Jim Chalmers
6:20
Speaker 2: argue against the very changes he's rumored to be introducing.
6:25
Speaker 8: Well, I think it is primarily a supply challenge, and
6:28
Speaker 8: we've made that clear in a lot of different ways.
6:31
Speaker 8: And one of the reasons why we're not going down
6:33
Speaker 8: the path of changing the negative gearing arrangements, abolishing negative gearing,
6:38
Speaker 8: or abolishing the capital gains tax discount is because we
6:42
Speaker 8: haven't been convinced that that would have a positive that
6:45
Speaker 8: would have positive consequences for supply, and so we're focused
6:49
Speaker 8: almost entirely on supply. There aren't enough homes.
6:52
Speaker 2: What's changed, Dan, That was twenty twenty four, treasure acknowledging
6:56
Speaker 2: this was a supply issue. The housing crisis is about
7:00
Speaker 2: supply not meeting demand.
7:03
Speaker 6: What's changed, Well, the thing that's changed is that they
7:07
Speaker 6: won the election. They won another election, so they got
7:10
Speaker 6: through that, so they'll, you know, they'll say whatever they
7:12
Speaker 6: need to say, and that you know, if you're in
7:14
Speaker 6: politics long enough, you're always going to end up arguing
7:16
Speaker 6: against yourself at some point, I guess. But what I
7:19
Speaker 6: think it shows is that you know, the government really
7:22
Speaker 6: has has never had any long term vision for how
7:26
Speaker 6: to fix the housing crisis. It's now had its National
7:29
Speaker 6: Housing Accord, which has been in place for twenty months,
7:32
Speaker 6: and they have missed every single one of their monthly targets.
7:37
Speaker 6: They are behind by tens and thousands of homes. They're
7:40
Speaker 6: just not building them. And at the same time as
7:43
Speaker 6: you've got mass migration which is cranking up the demand.
7:46
Speaker 6: I mean, the government has has never been serious about
7:49
Speaker 6: bringing back the mass migration because they need that to
7:53
Speaker 6: underwrite the artificial growth to our economy so that Jim
7:56
Speaker 6: Chalmers can stand up there on Budget Night and say
7:59
Speaker 6: the economy is grown, even though we know per capita
8:01
Speaker 6: growth is either basically zero or negative. So it basically
8:05
Speaker 6: shows they sort of limp from week to week, month
8:08
Speaker 6: to month without any clear plan of how to fix
8:10
Speaker 6: some of these problems.
8:13
Speaker 2: Now you're so right there, and what's changed is an
8:16
Speaker 2: election happened, but they didn't take any of these policies
8:20
Speaker 2: to that election. You could make the argument they have
8:22
Speaker 2: absolutely no mandate to be pressing ahead with these sort
8:26
Speaker 2: of radical changes, where we've never had the debate. Australians
8:30
Speaker 2: didn't have a chance to vote on this now. I'm
8:32
Speaker 2: sure you're going to be thrilled to know that former
8:35
Speaker 2: failed canadi MPM Justin Trudeau is in town. He was
8:40
Speaker 2: wearing an Essenence scarf and hopnobbing with the players before
8:43
Speaker 2: their Anzac Day clash against Collingwood. After Collingwood's big win,
9:02
Speaker 2: guess where Justin Trudeau was. Yes with the Collingwood boys.
9:07
Speaker 2: He ditched the Essenon scarf, quick smart and talk about
9:21
Speaker 2: a fair weather supporter there. But on a serious note,
9:25
Speaker 2: why is Justin Trudeau in town?
9:30
Speaker 6: I've got no idea why he's in town, to be
9:31
Speaker 6: honest with you, but it is fitting. He's the wokest
9:34
Speaker 6: world leader at the Workers Footy Club, so I mean,
9:37
Speaker 6: I guess it kind of works. I mean, I know
9:38
Speaker 6: Collingwood always has the welcome to Warren Jerry Country and
9:41
Speaker 6: their Instagram and social media and so forth, so I
9:45
Speaker 6: guess it's it's a bit of a maybe he's educating
9:48
Speaker 6: Collingwood and how to be even more woke than they
9:50
Speaker 6: already are. But you know, I don't know what he
9:52
Speaker 6: I don't know what he's doing here, to be honest
9:54
Speaker 6: with you that. I mean, look, he's free to do
9:55
Speaker 6: what he's a he's a private citizen, so he can
9:57
Speaker 6: go where he wants.
9:58
Speaker 5: But yeah, look, I just don't really get it.
10:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, there he was a picture with Nick daykos Let's. Well,
10:05
Speaker 2: Colin would object to being called the Woker's cup in
10:08
Speaker 2: the country. He is here to speak at a woman's
10:12
Speaker 2: empowerment event, So I don't know why that would bring
10:17
Speaker 2: Justin Trudeau of all people to headline that event, but
10:21
Speaker 2: they are, Dan Wi, thank you so much for your
10:23
Speaker 2: time tonight. Joining me now is Emmy Award winner and
10:27
Speaker 2: Fox Business White House correspondent Edward Lawrence. Edward, you were
10:32
Speaker 2: at the dinner when a thirty one year old Californian teacher,
10:36
Speaker 2: Cole Allan opened fire. Tell me about the scenes inside
10:40
Speaker 2: the ballroom.
10:42
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I did hear a couple of gunshots muffled
10:45
Speaker 10: as they were through some walls and upstairs a little bit.
10:48
Speaker 10: But you know what struck me is then the moments
10:51
Speaker 10: after that, as things went a little bit silent, there
10:53
Speaker 10: was a little bit.
10:53
Speaker 7: Of dishes falling in the room, and then.
10:57
Speaker 10: You saw this weave of security office law enforcement come
11:01
Speaker 10: down the aisles. And what struck me about them was
11:04
Speaker 10: not the looks, not the panic, but there was none
11:08
Speaker 10: of that. What struck me is that it was a
11:10
Speaker 10: determination to get to where they were going and protect
11:13
Speaker 10: who they needed to protect. And then, as you know,
11:15
Speaker 10: they risked the president, the vice president, cabinet members, and
11:18
Speaker 10: then the Capitol Police who cover the US Congress brought Congress.
11:23
Speaker 7: Members out of that room.
11:24
Speaker 10: So there really wasn't There was a lot of casts,
11:27
Speaker 10: a lot of uncertainty as what's going on, But in
11:29
Speaker 10: terms of the law enforcement, there was more determination to
11:32
Speaker 10: get to where they needed to be, and you did
11:34
Speaker 10: not see panic among law enforcement officials there.
11:38
Speaker 2: Well, that's good to hear, because certainly there seemed to
11:41
Speaker 2: be a plenty of panic after Butler, and we saw
11:44
Speaker 2: some of the secret services didn't seem to be up
11:47
Speaker 2: to the task. But you still have to ask the question,
11:50
Speaker 2: how was he allowed to get so close to the
11:53
Speaker 2: president and the members of the Trump administration, the whole administration,
11:57
Speaker 2: pretty much anybody who was anybody was in that. Has
12:01
Speaker 2: there been any ideas so far about how he even
12:05
Speaker 2: got as close as he did.
12:08
Speaker 10: Well, one of the things that's unusual about this dinner
12:11
Speaker 10: this year is the fact that the president and the
12:13
Speaker 10: vice president were in the same room at the same time. Historically,
12:17
Speaker 10: the Secret Service does not do that in case something
12:20
Speaker 10: catastrophic happens. So both of those folks are not in
12:23
Speaker 10: the room. One can take over if something happens to
12:26
Speaker 10: the other, you know, in this case, they were both.
12:28
Speaker 7: In the room.
12:29
Speaker 10: The gunman got inside the building, you know, whether he
12:32
Speaker 10: got close to the president, Yes, he was in the building,
12:35
Speaker 10: but it was a floor up and the security measures
12:38
Speaker 10: that were there clearly worked. You see the video him
12:41
Speaker 10: running past security. That's the first line of defense where
12:44
Speaker 10: the magnetroumeters were screening folks for metal objects or weapons
12:49
Speaker 10: coming in.
12:49
Speaker 7: He bolted through that, but then.
12:51
Speaker 10: The second layer of security tackled him immediately, and that's
12:55
Speaker 10: where the gunfire. As he was running down the hall,
12:57
Speaker 10: he fired one shot at one of the law enforcement
12:59
Speaker 10: officers there.
13:00
Speaker 7: It hit that law enforcement officer in the vest. He
13:02
Speaker 7: is okay.
13:03
Speaker 10: Then officers returned a couple more shots to him, but
13:06
Speaker 10: he again was then tackled and apprehended at that point,
13:10
Speaker 10: so he was upstairs.
13:12
Speaker 7: In the hotel.
13:13
Speaker 10: There was another flight of stairs he had to go down,
13:16
Speaker 10: and then he had to go down a long hallway
13:18
Speaker 10: again littered with police officers. Basically every ten feet, so
13:22
Speaker 10: it would be hard to see how he could have
13:24
Speaker 10: actually gotten in the room with the style of attack
13:28
Speaker 10: that he was trying to go forth with. But this
13:30
Speaker 10: was a working hotel. It was very interesting to me.
13:33
Speaker 10: You could just walk into the lobby and there were
13:35
Speaker 10: no problems. The police outside were focused on the protesters,
13:39
Speaker 10: and there were certain protesters there a few of them
13:41
Speaker 10: on the outside of the hotel, outside of the property,
13:45
Speaker 10: but you could just walk past the protesters and walk
13:47
Speaker 10: into the lobby of the hotel. This again was a
13:49
Speaker 10: working hotel, and he had checked in the day or
13:52
Speaker 10: so before this incident, so there was limited security in
13:57
Speaker 10: that open public part of the hotel.
14:00
Speaker 7: And this was in the conference.
14:01
Speaker 10: Center part where the shooting anywhere he tried to attack happen,
14:04
Speaker 10: and then again is a couple levels below where the
14:07
Speaker 10: lobby of the hotel is. But he clearly was able
14:10
Speaker 10: to get weapons into that hotel, go up to his
14:12
Speaker 10: room with weapons, and walk around the hotel for more
14:15
Speaker 10: than a day.
14:17
Speaker 2: Now. This individual has a significant social media footprint, ravings
14:23
Speaker 2: and raging about President Trump, particularly on leftist site Blue Sky.
14:28
Speaker 2: He had likened elon musk an X. He liked elon
14:32
Speaker 2: Musk Hitler, so he preferred to be on blue Sky.
14:36
Speaker 2: What else do we know about the man who called
14:39
Speaker 2: himself the friendly federal assassin.
14:42
Speaker 10: Yeah, and this is where it's really interesting. He was
14:45
Speaker 10: a good student. He has a master's degree. He went
14:48
Speaker 10: to Caltech, which is a great university in California.
14:52
Speaker 7: He was a teacher.
14:53
Speaker 10: He taught a C two education, which is one on
14:56
Speaker 10: one teaching or mentoring students. You know, clearly though, became
15:00
Speaker 10: radicalized online through some of the messages, some of the
15:03
Speaker 10: things he was reading on this. His manifesto, which he
15:06
Speaker 10: wrote more than a thousand words, went out about ten
15:10
Speaker 10: minutes before he tried to make this attack, and it
15:12
Speaker 10: went to his family members, and in that he does
15:15
Speaker 10: layout why he believes that he needed to do this
15:17
Speaker 10: is what he said, clearly a deranged individual. He did
15:21
Speaker 10: want to say that he felt like he was the
15:24
Speaker 10: only one who could handle this and you know, help
15:28
Speaker 10: eliminate President Trump. He didn't name him by name, but
15:31
Speaker 10: said at the top, because the man who represents the country,
15:34
Speaker 10: and then had a list of targets in that manifesto,
15:37
Speaker 10: starting with the cabinet members and going down to the
15:39
Speaker 10: police officers.
15:40
Speaker 7: If they engage him and the security officers that are there.
15:44
Speaker 10: You know, clearly again a deranged individual. Now, when that
15:47
Speaker 10: manifesto went out about ten minutes before he did this,
15:50
Speaker 10: his brother in Connecticut actually called local police up there
15:54
Speaker 10: and was concerned that he might do something drastic after
15:57
Speaker 10: reading this. You know, obviously the word did not get
16:00
Speaker 10: to the White House, but the security measures did work.
16:02
Speaker 10: He didn't get inside the room there, and police afterwards
16:06
Speaker 10: went and talked with his sister who lives in his
16:08
Speaker 10: suburb of Washington, d C. Where this happened, and she
16:11
Speaker 10: said that he had very radical statements over the years,
16:15
Speaker 10: but they never thought the.
16:15
Speaker 7: Family never thought he would go to this level of violence.
16:21
Speaker 2: Edward, this sounds like a suicide mission. It's probably a
16:24
Speaker 2: miracle this guy's alive after the attack that he launched.
16:28
Speaker 2: But to the question of how he was radicalized given
16:31
Speaker 2: the media's treatment of President Trump, the endless hate and hyperbole,
16:37
Speaker 2: were any members of the media who are responsible for
16:40
Speaker 2: creating that climate a little feeling a little bit of
16:43
Speaker 2: responsibility for the part they played in radicalizing someone like
16:48
Speaker 2: Cole Allen, Well.
16:49
Speaker 7: That's a tough question.
16:50
Speaker 10: And if you asked the president and he was asked
16:52
Speaker 10: about this today, the President said that the rhetoric from
16:55
Speaker 10: Democrats the other side of the aisle is a Republican
16:58
Speaker 10: is just too strong. Fact in this this past week,
17:02
Speaker 10: the House minority leader, a Democrat, he came out and
17:05
Speaker 10: said that, you know, we must fight back, keep fighting,
17:07
Speaker 10: keep you know, talking about military terms, when he's talking
17:11
Speaker 10: about stopping the other side. And the President says that
17:15
Speaker 10: that political pressure or political rhetoric has to be toned down,
17:19
Speaker 10: and you can't go to that level because then folks
17:22
Speaker 10: are clearly not in the right mind. Take it as
17:25
Speaker 10: a call to move forward with some action that they
17:28
Speaker 10: have related to this. But when you read it's interesting
17:30
Speaker 10: about him being alive. When you read this manifesto, this
17:33
Speaker 10: shows incredible restraint by the law enforcement officials who were
17:36
Speaker 10: able to attackle and then to interrogate to figure out
17:39
Speaker 10: why this person would would flip so like this. But
17:43
Speaker 10: when you read the manifesto, clearly he did not think
17:46
Speaker 10: he was going to survive this attack. It tells you
17:49
Speaker 10: he's sorry for a number of things he goes through
17:51
Speaker 10: and lists. He's sorry to his parents, he's sorry to
17:54
Speaker 10: his friends, he's sorry to the people who he sat
17:56
Speaker 10: next to, you on the train when he was going
17:57
Speaker 10: from California all the way to Washington, DC. He says
18:01
Speaker 10: that he was sorry to anybody that he had hurt
18:05
Speaker 10: in this, and he read the manifesto. He truly thought
18:08
Speaker 10: that would be able to hurt a number of individuals.
18:11
Speaker 10: Obviously that didn't happen, but this clearly in his mind
18:15
Speaker 10: was going to be a suicide mission.
18:19
Speaker 2: Now, President Trump was desperate for this event to resume.
18:23
Speaker 2: Apparently everybody around him, from Milania to secret servers, chief
18:28
Speaker 2: of staff, the Vice president, everyone was telling him no,
18:33
Speaker 2: and he did listen. The event did not go ahead,
18:35
Speaker 2: but we saw some attendees, some of the journalists and
18:39
Speaker 2: others hanging back, and we saw some stealing of bottles
18:43
Speaker 2: of alcohol in the aftermath. Were the media pack wanting
18:47
Speaker 2: to party to continue despite this event?
18:51
Speaker 7: Well, two things.
18:52
Speaker 10: One, President Trump, that's just his nature. You saw what
18:54
Speaker 10: happened after Butler Pennsylvania, the shot that actually did hit
18:58
Speaker 10: him in the ear. He stuck around to put that
19:00
Speaker 10: fist in the air, standing up, not knowing if there
19:03
Speaker 10: was another shooter or something going on.
19:04
Speaker 7: He clearly wanted to go forward with this.
19:06
Speaker 10: But the White House is telling Fox here in the
19:09
Speaker 10: United States that it was law enforcement that told them
19:12
Speaker 10: absolutely not. The Secret Service is the one who overrode
19:15
Speaker 10: the President said you have to get out of here,
19:17
Speaker 10: because they said that once you opened the doors, which
19:20
Speaker 10: they did in order to get the members of Congress
19:22
Speaker 10: and the cabinet members out, once you open those doors,
19:24
Speaker 10: the room is not safe anymore because the folks haven't
19:28
Speaker 10: been screened. You know, again, they don't know who might
19:30
Speaker 10: have come in as the doors were opened. So this
19:33
Speaker 10: was actually the Secret Service that overrode the President going
19:36
Speaker 10: forward related to this, so you know, as far as
19:39
Speaker 10: taking the wine, I can tell you that we did
19:41
Speaker 10: not get dinner. You know, they had served salad on
19:44
Speaker 10: our table. The bottles were not opened, so the staff,
19:48
Speaker 10: the white staff that was in there didn't even get
19:51
Speaker 10: a chance to come around off and get water in
19:54
Speaker 10: there and offer the wine. Related to that, I did
19:57
Speaker 10: not see anyone stealing any wine our table. The wine
20:01
Speaker 10: was still we left it there, but clearly some other folks,
20:04
Speaker 10: as I see pictures of this, did decide that they
20:07
Speaker 10: wanted some of that unopened bottle of wine.
20:11
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you can't blame them. It would have been
20:13
Speaker 2: a stressful night where happy You're safe, Edward, Thank you
20:16
Speaker 2: so much for your time tonight.
20:18
Speaker 7: Thanks you to appreciate it.
20:21
Speaker 2: Still to come Lefties Losing it plus more violent metric
20:25
Speaker 2: from Democrats Josh Hammer is up next. You're watching the
20:39
Speaker 2: Riata Panahy Show, and it's time for lefties losing it.
20:43
Speaker 2: And we've had yet another attempt on President Trump's life. Gosh,
20:48
Speaker 2: I don't know how killing the leader of the free
20:50
Speaker 2: world became normalized.
20:53
Speaker 3: Our first lady, Melania is here. Look at more so
20:56
Speaker 3: beautiful missus Trump. You have a glow like an expectant widow.
21:01
Speaker 2: YEP. That was the dangerously unfunny, perpetually miserable Jimmy Kimmel
21:06
Speaker 2: delivering a fake White House Correspondence diner speech, But his
21:11
Speaker 2: antics pail into insignificance compared with our own homegrown hard
21:16
Speaker 2: left loser who literally called for Americans to murder President Trump.
21:21
Speaker 2: She even tried to encourage lonely in cells to assassinate
21:25
Speaker 2: the President to get female attention. Here is happy.
21:29
Speaker 7: Chatfield, Americans, When are you going to do it?
21:32
Speaker 2: Why isn't it already done.
21:35
Speaker 3: You?
21:36
Speaker 11: Every day there's another happening right, awful for your country?
21:42
Speaker 7: Awful?
21:42
Speaker 1: Right?
21:45
Speaker 7: Why don't we redirect.
21:46
Speaker 2: This energy to something else.
21:50
Speaker 11: You know, there's always in cells that go, oh go,
21:54
Speaker 11: and do you know what would actually make people respect
21:57
Speaker 11: you a little bit? And maybe it want is if
22:01
Speaker 11: you did it? Is if you did it, you get
22:04
Speaker 11: heaps of fan Now, oh my god, oh my god,
22:11
Speaker 11: just do it.
22:13
Speaker 2: Yep, that's the character that kiss FM is inflicting on
22:17
Speaker 2: their dwindling audience. I wonder if Cale Allen heard that
22:21
Speaker 2: call for violence. Here's a fellow teacher who is fantasizing
22:26
Speaker 2: about the president's death. These people teach your children, think
22:30
Speaker 2: about that.
22:31
Speaker 12: I wake up each morning hoping he has died. I
22:35
Speaker 12: go to bed each night hoping by the time I
22:39
Speaker 12: get up in the morning, he has died. I'm fully
22:43
Speaker 12: convinced that we can't even begin to start fixing any
22:48
Speaker 12: of our problems on tell he has died.
22:52
Speaker 2: And here is a woman. I rate that the shooter
22:55
Speaker 2: missed again.
22:56
Speaker 7: I can none of you.
23:00
Speaker 2: Across a grassy knoll in the back of a moving car.
23:03
Speaker 7: We were real Americans.
23:09
Speaker 2: Stop pulling the trigger unless you have the shot. Now
23:13
Speaker 2: to the Democrats that have a long shameful history of
23:18
Speaker 2: colling for violence, calling for unrest, and inciting hate. I
23:23
Speaker 2: just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over
23:25
Speaker 2: the country.
23:26
Speaker 12: Maybe there will be. People need to start taking to
23:29
Speaker 12: the streets.
23:29
Speaker 7: This is a dictator.
23:31
Speaker 12: You know.
23:31
Speaker 3: There needs to be unrest in the streets for as
23:33
Speaker 3: long as there's unrest in our lives.
23:35
Speaker 2: Enemies of the state.
23:37
Speaker 13: Show me where it says that protests are supposed to
23:39
Speaker 13: be polite and peaceful.
23:41
Speaker 2: How do you resist the temptation to run up and
23:43
Speaker 2: wring her neck?
23:44
Speaker 14: The biggest terror threat in this country is white men,
23:48
Speaker 14: most of them radicalized right to the right.
23:51
Speaker 2: I thought he should have punshed him in the face
23:52
Speaker 2: and said, even if you lost, he insulted your.
23:54
Speaker 14: Wife, he's on the escalator and called Mexicans rapist.
23:57
Speaker 1: Emerged, he said, well, what do you think I should done?
23:58
Speaker 4: So?
23:58
Speaker 2: I think you should have punshed him in the face
24:00
Speaker 2: then gotten out of the race.
24:00
Speaker 14: You would have been a hero.
24:02
Speaker 2: I'd like to punch him in the face.
24:03
Speaker 1: I said, if we're in high school, I take you
24:05
Speaker 1: behind the gym and beat.
24:06
Speaker 3: The hell out of him.
24:07
Speaker 4: Punt some people in the faith, when was the last
24:10
Speaker 4: time an actor assassinated a president?
24:13
Speaker 11: They're still going to have to go out and put
24:14
Speaker 11: a bullet in Donald Trump.
24:15
Speaker 1: And that's a fact.
24:16
Speaker 2: After this latest assassination attend the Democrats are now falling
24:21
Speaker 2: all over themselves advocating for peaceful debate. Expect that to
24:25
Speaker 2: last for about twenty four hours, and then they'll revert
24:27
Speaker 2: back to type, back to whipping up hate, fear, and hysteria.
24:31
Speaker 2: But for now we're hearing these comforting words from the
24:34
Speaker 2: likes of Hakeem Jeffries.
24:36
Speaker 14: Violence is never the answer, whether it's targeted at the right,
24:41
Speaker 14: the left, or the center. We have issues that we
24:44
Speaker 14: have to work out amongst each other.
24:46
Speaker 2: And Hakeem was keen to point out this is a
24:49
Speaker 2: both sides problem. It's not. It's not. And he also
24:53
Speaker 2: wants us to believe the virulently anti American forces that
24:57
Speaker 2: hate President Trump, hate him so much they're now siding
25:00
Speaker 2: with the Iranian regime. Well, we must believe that they actually, really,
25:04
Speaker 2: deep down love America.
25:06
Speaker 14: Do the best that we can to set the most
25:09
Speaker 14: appropriate example. Again, to disagree with each other strongly when necessary,
25:16
Speaker 14: to battle it out in the public sphere of ideas,
25:20
Speaker 14: but to make sure that we respect the opposition in
25:25
Speaker 14: terms of those disagreements that are anchored in principle, and
25:29
Speaker 14: also to make clear that everybody, whatever your ideological perspective, is,
25:33
Speaker 14: we all love America.
25:35
Speaker 3: Oh do we do?
25:36
Speaker 1: We really?
25:37
Speaker 2: Hakim? It was only a few days ago, less than
25:40
Speaker 2: a week ago, when good old Hakeem was posing in
25:43
Speaker 2: front of this image and it was pushing a message
25:46
Speaker 2: of maximum warfare everywhere all the time. Doesn't sound terribly
25:51
Speaker 2: peaceful to me. Sounds rather violent. And let's not forget
25:55
Speaker 2: this messaging from Haqem characterizing the mag of movement as
25:59
Speaker 2: extreme mists, extremists who are threats against the nation.
26:03
Speaker 14: The threat right now in this country to the American
26:07
Speaker 14: people are extreme Maga Republicans. That's the threat, that's the problem,
26:15
Speaker 14: that's the crisis that we confront extreme Maga Republicans.
26:22
Speaker 10: Now.
26:23
Speaker 2: The crazy thing is he was saying that during Joe
26:26
Speaker 2: Biden's presidency, they were in charge, and he was still
26:29
Speaker 2: characterizing Mega as an extremist threat even as the country
26:33
Speaker 2: was being invaded by millions of illegal immigrants and kept
26:38
Speaker 2: using that hyperbolic language.
26:40
Speaker 1: The time.
26:42
Speaker 14: For extreme mega Republican partisanship is over. The time for
26:48
Speaker 14: extreme mega Republican brinksmanship is over. The time for extreme
26:53
Speaker 14: mega Republican gamesmanship is over. It's time to do the
26:59
Speaker 14: business of the American people and the free world.
27:04
Speaker 2: Joining me now is Newsweek's senior editor at large, Josh Hammer. Josh,
27:10
Speaker 2: how complicit are the Democrats and the propagandists in the
27:14
Speaker 2: mainstream media in the political violence? We're saying?
27:19
Speaker 1: Uh?
27:20
Speaker 5: Extremely complicit, is the short answer of this riata.
27:23
Speaker 15: I am sick off my rear end of this notion
27:27
Speaker 15: that both sides in America's royal and political debate are
27:30
Speaker 15: equally to blame for the current state of local violences country.
27:33
Speaker 15: That is one of the biggest loads of crap that
27:37
Speaker 15: the media and the elite in this country have ever
27:40
Speaker 15: attempted to force feed the American people. And no one
27:43
Speaker 15: in the right mind should buy this period, full stop,
27:45
Speaker 15: end of story. And in my telling you the story,
27:48
Speaker 15: this goes back at least as far back, arguably further,
27:50
Speaker 15: But it goes at least as far back as Floyd
27:53
Speaker 15: Lee Corkin to try to shoot up the Family Research Council,
27:56
Speaker 15: the social conservative think tank in Washington, Washington, d C.
27:59
Speaker 5: Back in twenty twelve.
28:00
Speaker 15: Then you, of course had James Hodgkinson, who tried to
28:02
Speaker 15: shoot up the your publican congressional baseball team. He actually
28:04
Speaker 15: almost did fatally wound Steve Scalise.
28:06
Speaker 1: There.
28:07
Speaker 15: Back in twenty seventeen, you had Nicholas Rosky who tried
28:10
Speaker 15: to fly cross country and tried to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh.
28:13
Speaker 15: He had Zip Ties trying to trying to commit an
28:16
Speaker 15: unspeakable actor to try to prevent the Dobbs opinion overturning
28:19
Speaker 15: Roe versus Wade. You had the assassination of my friend
28:22
Speaker 15: Charlie Kirk. Then you now have three attempts on Donald
28:24
Speaker 15: Trump's life. The manifesto of this most recent would be
28:27
Speaker 15: Assassin Cold Thomas Allen. The manifesto is positively chilling. He's
28:31
Speaker 15: not mincing words, they're really He's telling us exactly how
28:33
Speaker 15: he feels there.
28:34
Speaker 5: He was sick of.
28:35
Speaker 15: Donald Trump, who refers to as a pedophile and a
28:38
Speaker 15: rapist and a trader on this that there. He was
28:40
Speaker 15: sick of him and his minions, his cabinet members actually
28:44
Speaker 15: leading this country there, and he wanted to take matters
28:46
Speaker 15: into his own cans. This is the logical consequence of
28:49
Speaker 15: an entire political movement that for years, for at least
28:52
Speaker 15: a decay or two, and the era of wokeism and
28:55
Speaker 15: hyper progressivism has intuited and has disseminated this notion that
28:59
Speaker 15: words are violence, and that violence and words are interchangeable
29:03
Speaker 15: and are essentially the same thing. There, and you have
29:06
Speaker 15: these streamers like Hassan Piker who who were now openly
29:09
Speaker 15: advocating for I was just watching this clip on social
29:12
Speaker 15: media earlier to say, there this compilation, it's like a
29:15
Speaker 15: four minute long compilation of Asan Piker just calling for
29:17
Speaker 15: violence over and over and over again.
29:19
Speaker 5: There.
29:19
Speaker 15: And now you have most recently ro Kahana out in
29:22
Speaker 15: Silicon Valley, who was upon a time styled himself a
29:25
Speaker 15: moderate Democrat. Rokahana was from Silicon Valley, was trying to
29:28
Speaker 15: get the donations of all these major corporations out there.
29:31
Speaker 5: He actually is saying that he has no regrets about.
29:34
Speaker 15: Appearing with Hassan Piker, who openly calls for the murder
29:37
Speaker 15: of Rick Scott my center here in Florida. It is
29:40
Speaker 15: a really scary time reader to be part here of
29:43
Speaker 15: the American political conversation, because you have one side that
29:46
Speaker 15: seemingly is just not interested, is not interested in reason.
29:49
Speaker 15: There and these platitudes, these mouthings of these platitudes and
29:53
Speaker 15: these total nothing burgers from like Kim Jeffreys and not
29:56
Speaker 15: what's standing there. You and I both know this will
29:59
Speaker 15: last a day or two at the most, because within
30:02
Speaker 15: a few days of charlieyanging sacacity, they were right back
30:05
Speaker 15: at it. But within a few days of Butler of
30:07
Speaker 15: Pennsylvania in the summer twenty twenty four, they're right back
30:10
Speaker 15: gack calling Donald Trump a Nazi, e communist of fancist there.
30:12
Speaker 15: They never never learned the lesson, and I'll tell you why,
30:15
Speaker 15: because in order to learn the lesson.
30:17
Speaker 5: They would have to give up.
30:18
Speaker 15: They would have to give up their sick, twisted, cruel
30:21
Speaker 15: self delusions that the American rights are actually in this
30:24
Speaker 15: to warp and destroy the Constitution. It's actually quite a
30:27
Speaker 15: bit of projection, frankly, vestment, because there actually is one
30:30
Speaker 15: part of this country that is trying to destroy America's
30:32
Speaker 15: constitutional system, an American way of life.
30:34
Speaker 5: And it's not the right, it's the left.
30:37
Speaker 2: Certainly, isn't it both sides this year, as you just
30:40
Speaker 2: brilliantly explained. And this particular individual was an educator, a teacher,
30:48
Speaker 2: and we see that so often. I've played so many
30:51
Speaker 2: clips on lefties losing and we mock them, but really
30:54
Speaker 2: it is a serious issue of teachers advocating for violence. No,
31:00
Speaker 2: people are part of the medical profession advocating for political violence.
31:05
Speaker 2: How did this become mainstream, Josh? How did so many
31:09
Speaker 2: people feel it was okay to film themselves calling for
31:13
Speaker 2: violence and sharing that with the world.
31:18
Speaker 15: You know, it's increasingly also becoming something of a so
31:20
Speaker 15: called elite institutional thing. So this individual Cold time as
31:23
Speaker 15: Allan is a graduate of cal Tech and the Califrin
31:26
Speaker 15: Institute of Technology, which every year is a top ten,
31:29
Speaker 15: top fifteen ranked American university. I saw a shocking poll
31:32
Speaker 15: last summer out of Harvard University, maybe America's single most
31:35
Speaker 15: famous university of them all, which showed that the percentage
31:38
Speaker 15: of Harvard students who say that political violence can sometimes
31:42
Speaker 15: be acceptable sometimes to prevent someone from actually just airing
31:46
Speaker 15: their opinion there, the percentage of Harvard students, according to
31:48
Speaker 15: pol I saw, who said that it can be acceptable
31:51
Speaker 15: sometimes was over thirty percent, between thirty and thirty five percents,
31:54
Speaker 15: roughly one third. I mean, it's very difficult to think
31:59
Speaker 15: about how this country survives. And I'm really not being hyperbolic,
32:02
Speaker 15: I mean, I mean this is our two to fiftith
32:04
Speaker 15: anniversary the deathlas of Independence. We hold these truths be
32:07
Speaker 15: self evident, that all men are creating some one of
32:09
Speaker 15: the most stirring words ever, and we celebrate the quarter.
32:12
Speaker 5: Millennium mark of that this July fourth.
32:14
Speaker 15: It's going to be an amazing party in the nation's capital,
32:16
Speaker 15: and Donald Trump will host a party like none other.
32:19
Speaker 15: But I think it's seriously worth pondering whether at our
32:22
Speaker 15: current trajectory, this country will still be around two hundred
32:25
Speaker 15: and fifty years from now. I think back to seventeen
32:28
Speaker 15: eighty seven, which is the year that the wise men
32:30
Speaker 15: gathered in Philadelphia during a most sweltering summer and penn
32:34
Speaker 15: the greatest charter of self governance ever known to man,
32:37
Speaker 15: con the US Constitution. And famously, upon exiting the convention,
32:41
Speaker 15: Benjamin Franklin saw a local Philadelphia socialite, and the socialite
32:45
Speaker 15: said to mister Franklin, mister Franklin, what former government have
32:49
Speaker 15: have you wise been given us? And ben Franklin said, doctor,
32:53
Speaker 15: we have given you a republic if you can keep it.
32:55
Speaker 15: And a republic is only kept rita when the people
33:00
Speaker 15: actually settle their differences with words, and at the ballot box.
33:03
Speaker 15: But the moment, the moment that we stop settling our
33:06
Speaker 15: differences with words and with the ballot box and we
33:08
Speaker 15: start picking up knives and guns instead, that's it.
33:12
Speaker 5: I really feel that it could all be over.
33:15
Speaker 15: I'm not saying it's happening anytime soon there, but we
33:17
Speaker 15: really really are on the precipice of of something quite
33:20
Speaker 15: dark happening in this country there. It's been a trend
33:22
Speaker 15: building up for a long time there. There's been an
33:24
Speaker 15: anarchist movement in America, by the way, for a very
33:26
Speaker 15: long time. William McKinley actually who was assassinated right around
33:29
Speaker 15: nineteen hundred nineteen oh one, he was actually assassinated by
33:33
Speaker 15: the American anarchist movement there. So you're essentially seeing this
33:36
Speaker 15: twenty first century reincarnation of this communist anarchist movement of Bolt.
33:41
Speaker 15: So Sumpike really is kind of the embodiments, frankly, of
33:45
Speaker 15: this particular trend. But it's gotten so so so much
33:48
Speaker 15: worse there in the era of Barack Obama and onwards there,
33:51
Speaker 15: and it's very difficult sometimes to try to see how
33:55
Speaker 15: this starts to wind down. It's going to take someone
33:57
Speaker 15: who has serious, serious clout on the left there and
34:00
Speaker 15: to really really really really dedicate the rest of his
34:03
Speaker 15: working days to try to gut this out. Someone like
34:06
Speaker 15: Barack Obama comes to mind as someone who passibly has
34:08
Speaker 15: that cloud there. But as you and I both know, reader,
34:10
Speaker 15: it's very hard to see Barack Obama trying to just
34:13
Speaker 15: to step up to the plate and try to calm
34:16
Speaker 15: down his own side like that, That's for sure.
34:19
Speaker 2: No, you could make the argument that this really accelerated
34:23
Speaker 2: under the Obama administration, where these radical, radical voices were
34:29
Speaker 2: brought into the fold and mainstreamed. And let's check in
34:32
Speaker 2: on one of those individuals. You could argue, Zorron ma'm Danny,
34:36
Speaker 2: the mayor of New York City. He had this to
34:39
Speaker 2: say on x He posted, political violence is absolutely unacceptable.
34:44
Speaker 2: I'm glad the President and guests at the White House
34:47
Speaker 2: correspondents in are safe. Well, nice words there, But zorgn
34:51
Speaker 2: Mam Danny's own history tells a different story. I'm not
34:53
Speaker 2: just talking about old social media posts. I'm talking about
34:57
Speaker 2: the New York City mayor cozing up to And you've
35:00
Speaker 2: mentioned Hassan pika. This is an imojia, This is a
35:04
Speaker 2: communist social media influencer who has called for political violence
35:09
Speaker 2: over and over again. He has said nine to eleven
35:12
Speaker 2: was justified, October seven was justified. And he's also talked
35:16
Speaker 2: about how someone has to do it, someone has to
35:19
Speaker 2: kill the president, someone has.
35:21
Speaker 4: To do it.
35:23
Speaker 1: See when I say that, everyone knows e's thattly what
35:26
Speaker 1: I need.
35:27
Speaker 2: And this character is not just being mainstreamed by Democrats,
35:32
Speaker 2: but also by so many in the mainstream media. Josh,
35:37
Speaker 2: he is getting these fluff pieces written about him in
35:41
Speaker 2: the New York Times.
35:44
Speaker 15: Yeah, and he just did a debate at Yale University,
35:46
Speaker 15: one of our most famous bybe of the universities.
35:48
Speaker 5: That just happened abut a week and a half.
35:49
Speaker 15: But by the way, in that debate of some pike crash,
35:51
Speaker 15: you referred to to the demise of the Soviet Union
35:54
Speaker 15: as one of the twentieth century's greatest catastrophes. I mean,
35:57
Speaker 15: I mean, as you said, this guy has said that
35:58
Speaker 15: America eleven. That he literally said that America deserved nine
36:03
Speaker 15: to eleven. And you have Democrats again, including ro Kana,
36:07
Speaker 15: people that not that long ago styled themselves fancing themselves
36:10
Speaker 15: as so called moderates. You people just lining up to
36:14
Speaker 15: appear with this guy, and I mean this is their party.
36:18
Speaker 15: You know, at one point this might have been the
36:21
Speaker 15: left wing of the Democratic Party, maybe even as recently
36:24
Speaker 15: actually as the Barack Obama administration. But at this point
36:28
Speaker 15: this really is their party Riata.
36:30
Speaker 5: And it really was.
36:31
Speaker 15: About something that I think you might have discussed in
36:33
Speaker 15: the past, which is that twenty first century leftism has
36:36
Speaker 15: become inextricable from political violence. Really, they really have intuited
36:42
Speaker 15: this notion, as I said earlier, that words and violence
36:45
Speaker 15: are the same thing, and that and that words can
36:47
Speaker 15: be violent, and therefore sometimes the best way to respond
36:49
Speaker 15: to words is not with words.
36:51
Speaker 5: But with actual violence.
36:53
Speaker 15: And look, leftism has had this put this violence street
36:56
Speaker 15: going back at least as far back as the French
36:58
Speaker 15: Revolution itself with Pierre in the Reign of Terror. There,
37:02
Speaker 15: communism's death toll in the twenty s firth century, frankly,
37:04
Speaker 15: actually has a much higher death toll even than Nazi fascism,
37:07
Speaker 15: the Soviet Union, I mean, communist China, the killing fields
37:11
Speaker 15: of Cambodi under Polepot, I mean communism is probably the
37:14
Speaker 15: single deadliest ideology in the entire history of mankind. So
37:18
Speaker 15: where the left really gets quite ahead of the of
37:20
Speaker 15: their skis is oftentimes just just lots and lots and
37:23
Speaker 15: lots of bodies left in the trail of dust behind
37:26
Speaker 15: there After all, as one of Stalin's closest confidence fanmously
37:30
Speaker 15: stat in the nineteen thirties, you actually do have to
37:31
Speaker 15: break a few eggs to make an omelet. So they
37:33
Speaker 15: have all of these, all of these euphemisms, right, all
37:36
Speaker 15: of these expressions trying to just justify violence in the
37:40
Speaker 15: name of progress or the name of some other sort
37:42
Speaker 15: of or really and euphemism we're saying there, But again,
37:47
Speaker 15: I love my country so much and genuinely more than
37:51
Speaker 15: anything else that I see happening right now in the
37:54
Speaker 15: United States and frankly around the world. This really is
37:57
Speaker 15: our number one exem spread. I think that left, this
37:59
Speaker 15: political violence is an even bigger threat to America's continued existence,
38:03
Speaker 15: frankly than the Chinese Communist Party itself, or frankly, any
38:07
Speaker 15: other external threat. This is a gargantuin, gargantuine issue, and
38:11
Speaker 15: it's a deeply frustrating one for folks like me on
38:13
Speaker 15: the right, because we can't clean this up. Only the
38:16
Speaker 15: left can clean up their own mess. Here and again,
38:19
Speaker 15: the very first step, the very first step is for
38:21
Speaker 15: people like a Kim Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, all
38:25
Speaker 15: the powers to be there to stop doing this whole stupid, condescending,
38:30
Speaker 15: belittling just low iq dimwit slop both sides are equal
38:34
Speaker 15: thing because they're not. And the first step towards fixing
38:37
Speaker 15: the problem is to recognize that this is an overwhelmingly
38:40
Speaker 15: left wing problem here at the moment.
38:44
Speaker 2: And it's something that media has to accept as well,
38:46
Speaker 2: because the media also push this both sides nonsense. And
38:51
Speaker 2: let's have a look at some of the left wing
38:53
Speaker 2: media buyers that is being pushed by the Big four
38:56
Speaker 2: news apps. This is the Big four news aggregator Apple News,
39:01
Speaker 2: Google News, Microsoft's MSN, and Yahoo News. Media Research Center
39:06
Speaker 2: has reported that in the five months to March thirty one,
39:09
Speaker 2: the Big four overwhelmingly pushed leftist media sources. Seventy percent
39:14
Speaker 2: of articles were from leftist outlets, only five percent from
39:18
Speaker 2: right leaning outlets, the rest from neutral or centrist sources,
39:21
Speaker 2: and Josh MRC data shows Apple News was the worst offender.
39:27
Speaker 2: It only promoted fourteen articles that's less than one percent
39:32
Speaker 2: from right leaning outlets, while they pushed more than two
39:35
Speaker 2: thousand articles from left leaning outlets. Does any of that
39:39
Speaker 2: surprise you, Josh.
39:41
Speaker 5: No, of course no.
39:42
Speaker 15: Look, these technology platform has been among the most but
39:45
Speaker 15: politically nediology bias institutions in all of American public life
39:49
Speaker 15: for a very long time. Now that now, let's not
39:51
Speaker 15: forget that they were trying to cozy up too trop administration.
39:54
Speaker 15: So there was a whole very interesting and shall I say,
39:57
Speaker 15: highly convenient flip flop where Mark Zuckerber right on the
40:00
Speaker 15: precipice of the twenty twenty four election, right on the
40:03
Speaker 15: precipice of Donald Trump actually getting swore into office for
40:06
Speaker 15: a second term, Mark Zuckerberg had Mark Zuckerberg had a
40:09
Speaker 15: very convenient about face when it came to the issue
40:12
Speaker 15: of free speech on social media.
40:14
Speaker 5: There. But you can't take these people at the word.
40:16
Speaker 15: They are ultimately filled with liars, because you know, a
40:20
Speaker 15: company RITA is ultimately just as good as a people
40:23
Speaker 15: that comprise the company. And these companies all eat, live, breathe,
40:26
Speaker 15: and frankly recruit from these same universities and the same
40:29
Speaker 15: prep schools, and just the general ecosystem of Silicon Valley
40:33
Speaker 15: out there in the California Bay Area. They are comprised
40:35
Speaker 15: fundamentally with Gavin Newsome, Kamala Harris dare I even say
40:39
Speaker 15: Eric Swallwell style liberals. And when that is who you
40:42
Speaker 15: are accruiting, when that is who you're promoting, when that
40:44
Speaker 15: is who's were in company, you're going to promote a
40:46
Speaker 15: certain ideological viewpoint. It's one of the many reasons that
40:49
Speaker 15: I've been saying for years and years and years that
40:51
Speaker 15: big tech cannot simply be treated as kind of a
40:54
Speaker 15: live and let live but the chips full where they
40:56
Speaker 15: may proposition there, because this is how Americans get their information.
40:59
Speaker 15: This is the twenty first century public square. And when
41:01
Speaker 15: that public square is so catastrophically ideologically tilted there, you're
41:05
Speaker 15: going to get a deeply off bouance skewed playing field
41:09
Speaker 15: when it comes into the information that Americas receive. And
41:12
Speaker 15: that's frankly, only the beginning of it, the worst of it,
41:14
Speaker 15: the worst of fit that you actually could then get
41:16
Speaker 15: a public square that is not just giving you skewed information,
41:19
Speaker 15: but god forbid, it could actually be trying to rile
41:21
Speaker 15: up people's passions to commit unspeakable acts of atrocity. There
41:24
Speaker 15: So the whole thing, frank frankly is a mess. The
41:28
Speaker 15: good news is that Donald Trump is aware of this mess.
41:31
Speaker 15: There seems to be some glaring flaws for it's where
41:33
Speaker 15: it's still in the US Secret Service. Apparently the Secret
41:35
Speaker 15: Services not fully learned their lessons from Butler, Pennsylvania, from
41:39
Speaker 15: West pomp Beach, Florida. So I guess we'll see what
41:41
Speaker 15: kind of shake ups perhaps perhaps happened there in that
41:43
Speaker 15: particulation there. But the good news, read again, is that
41:46
Speaker 15: the President is on top of this. They are the
41:47
Speaker 15: Attorney General, They're on top of this there, and I'm
41:50
Speaker 15: not so worried necessarily about their safety per se, but
41:53
Speaker 15: I'm deeply, deeply, deeply worried about my country.
41:57
Speaker 2: Josh Tima, thank you so much for your time tonight.
42:00
Speaker 5: Thank you appreciate Still to.
42:02
Speaker 2: Come all the entertainment years, including the latest Sydney Sweeney outrage.
42:07
Speaker 2: Alex Stein is up next. Welcome back now. Over the weekend,
42:22
Speaker 2: the Stagecoach Festival was underway. It's kind of like Coachella,
42:26
Speaker 2: but much better, much better, more country. One of the
42:30
Speaker 2: fans in the crowd was Sydney Sweeney. Here she is
42:33
Speaker 2: riding high and in scenes that have enraged the American left.
42:44
Speaker 2: The boxome actress went full country. Here she is singing
42:48
Speaker 2: along with the likes of Riley Green. I mean, how
42:50
Speaker 2: can this make you mad?
43:02
Speaker 1: Let's go.
43:26
Speaker 2: Joining me now is comedian and the host of After
43:30
Speaker 2: Hours with Alex Stein. Alex I got to say that
43:33
Speaker 2: top was holding on for dear life. But what is
43:36
Speaker 2: it about Sidney Sweetey that it so enrages the left.
43:41
Speaker 2: I'm not even sure what her politics are. I don't
43:44
Speaker 2: think she's a left but I'm not sure if she's
43:46
Speaker 2: a conservative either. But there's something about her that seems
43:50
Speaker 2: to trigger the left.
43:54
Speaker 13: Well, if I had to guess her politics, I mean,
43:56
Speaker 13: just by looking at that outfit, you would think that
43:58
Speaker 13: it would start with the d if you know what
44:00
Speaker 13: I mean.
44:00
Speaker 1: But I will say this.
44:03
Speaker 13: Is that read I'm saying, she looks very voluptuous. Even
44:07
Speaker 13: if she's a conservative, she definitely has some declassification in
44:12
Speaker 13: her life, if you know what I mean.
44:13
Speaker 1: Reader, That's all I'm going to say.
44:15
Speaker 2: Oh dear me. The amount of hate she cops though
44:19
Speaker 2: is incredible. Every post about her seems to just bring
44:24
Speaker 2: them out of the woodwork. Now, let's talk about the
44:27
Speaker 2: latest attempt on President Trump's alife, and while much of
44:31
Speaker 2: the media at the White House correspondence dinner took the
44:34
Speaker 2: assassination attempt in their stride. Some even help themselves to
44:38
Speaker 2: bottles of alcohol on the way out of the function room.
44:43
Speaker 2: The violence was particularly traumatic for Erica Kirk, whose husband
44:47
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk, was assassinated just seven months ago. Alex, You've
44:55
Speaker 2: got to feel for that poor woman. Seems like she
44:58
Speaker 2: hasn't even really had time to grief for Charlie, and
45:03
Speaker 2: to be in that room it must have been really traumatizing.
45:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't imagine what Eric is going through.
45:11
Speaker 13: But you know what's crazy about this situation is sadly
45:14
Speaker 13: we've constantly seen this, you know, Donald Trump, I think
45:17
Speaker 13: this is what third or fourth assassination attempt. So it
45:20
Speaker 13: seems like the violence in America is just getting worse
45:22
Speaker 13: and worse. And I know a lot of people think
45:24
Speaker 13: the solution is taking away the Second Amendment, but I
45:27
Speaker 13: don't think that that's a solution whatsoever.
45:29
Speaker 1: I think we need to have more people with guns.
45:31
Speaker 13: But this is just a sad indication of what we're
45:33
Speaker 13: heading as a country, and there's going to be more
45:35
Speaker 13: violence like this, and I just think it's going to
45:38
Speaker 13: get more rampant, and I wish that wasn't the case,
45:40
Speaker 13: but that's truly how I feel right here in America
45:42
Speaker 13: right now.
45:45
Speaker 2: And something that has been really mainstreamed amongst the left,
45:49
Speaker 2: particularly on social media sites and chat forums, is this
45:53
Speaker 2: notion that this was a false flag, it was a
45:56
Speaker 2: staged event. I mean to think that in this circumstance,
46:01
Speaker 2: you would have to be a certified idiot. This guy
46:04
Speaker 2: has a long history of being a leftist activist, being
46:08
Speaker 2: a Democrat, like his social media footprint is enormous, and
46:14
Speaker 2: do they really think he's going to sacrifice his life.
46:17
Speaker 2: He's probably never going to see the outside of a
46:19
Speaker 2: jail cell to help President Trump. But this notion that
46:24
Speaker 2: this event was staged is really prevalent, Alex.
46:30
Speaker 13: I mean, to be fair, reader, people have lost trust
46:33
Speaker 13: with the government, and so anytime they see a big
46:35
Speaker 13: event like this, they automatically disregard whatever the mainstream narrative
46:39
Speaker 13: is and.
46:39
Speaker 1: Believe the opposite.
46:40
Speaker 13: So people have been kind of either trained to believe
46:42
Speaker 13: everything the government tells us, or they've been.
46:44
Speaker 1: Trained the other way that anything the government tells us
46:47
Speaker 1: is a lie.
46:47
Speaker 13: So I'm actually not surprised that people were saying that,
46:50
Speaker 13: but all indications looks like he was a crazy guy.
46:53
Speaker 1: He's another guy similar to Tyler Robinson.
46:55
Speaker 13: Who had a high you know, Iq. It looked like
46:59
Speaker 13: he is, you know, an engineer of some sort and
47:02
Speaker 13: a guy that you know was a smart guy on paper.
47:05
Speaker 13: But obviously this is a very dumb thing to do.
47:07
Speaker 13: But you know, it's just kind of the reality of
47:10
Speaker 13: the situation where everybody's going to think the opposite of
47:12
Speaker 13: whatever they hear from the mainstream because nobody trusts the
47:14
Speaker 13: government anymore.
47:15
Speaker 1: Riata, especially here in America.
47:18
Speaker 2: Now, Alex, I played this clip during Lefties Losing It
47:22
Speaker 2: last week where you were trying to have a debate
47:25
Speaker 2: with with folks and this young man decided to give
47:30
Speaker 2: you a death threat instead.
47:32
Speaker 7: I'm saying, I want to live in a meritocracy and
47:35
Speaker 7: not in a place.
47:36
Speaker 5: That in what in what way was she given the
47:38
Speaker 5: vice presidents because she said that.
47:40
Speaker 10: I need to pick a woman by will in fact
47:43
Speaker 10: a point a pick a woman to be vice president.
47:46
Speaker 6: Right, And so what I'm trying to for the job
47:49
Speaker 6: and whatever the conversation is, conversation watch out for a
47:53
Speaker 6: hole in the neck.
47:53
Speaker 1: Thank you. That's funny, Alex.
47:56
Speaker 2: What's wrong with these people really, And do you have
48:00
Speaker 2: fears yourself about your safety?
48:03
Speaker 1: You know, I do have a little bit of fear.
48:05
Speaker 13: I'm not enough fear where I'm not going to go
48:06
Speaker 13: out to college campuses and try to do what Charlie did,
48:09
Speaker 13: because you know, he was an inspiration and I think
48:11
Speaker 13: that Turning Point USA is very influential because of the
48:14
Speaker 13: biggest organization that actually has these conversations on college campuses.
48:17
Speaker 13: So it's an honor that I even get to do it.
48:19
Speaker 13: So I'm not going to stop because of a little,
48:21
Speaker 13: you know, idle threat from that guy, but there is.
48:25
Speaker 13: But there's been a lot of those Charlie Kirk comments.
48:27
Speaker 13: We haven't even posted them all. We're kind of waiting to.
48:30
Speaker 1: Just edit them all and post them. So we have
48:32
Speaker 1: a desensitized college culture.
48:35
Speaker 13: And you know, I like edgy humor, but sometimes when
48:38
Speaker 13: you say something like that, it didn't seem like a joke.
48:40
Speaker 1: It seemed like he wanted me to actually get shot.
48:44
Speaker 2: Well, this is the thing, and we saw characters like
48:47
Speaker 2: that celebrate after Charlie was murdered. That mindset exists. We
48:55
Speaker 2: like to pretend it doesn't. We like to pretend that
48:58
Speaker 2: ideological opponents aren't prone to violence, but the experience in
49:02
Speaker 2: recent months, recent years has been very different, alex Stein.
49:06
Speaker 2: So please stay safe and thank you for your time tonight,
49:10
Speaker 2: and that's all the time we have. Don't go anywhere.
49:13
Speaker 2: News Night is coming up next
