[33:46] Jack Posobiec:
"I’m done. All the infighting, all the oh, the he said, she said -- I’m done. I’m going to make it about facts. The fact of the matter is that the Marxist left is coming to kill you and trans your children..."
4. Community & Political Fallout
Guest Segment: Kenny Cody, Human Events Opinion Editor
- Cody agrees: there is no evidence anyone except Robinson murdered Kirk.
- Warns against conspiracies dividing the conservative movement instead of focusing on “the progressive left that propped up this gay race communist that assassinated Charlie Kirk.”

"Absolutely zero [evidence anyone else did it]."
-
They discuss recurring violence associated with the left and progressive/transgender movements. Kirk was, according to Cody, discussing this theme moments before his assassination.

"Politics and military shouldn’t necessarily cross. This was a political stunt... There is a chain of command and they literally broke that chain by telling active members to defy orders..."
