Episode: HOLD THE LEFT ACCOUNTABLE: How Conservatives Can Take Back Our Country From Left-Wing Terrorists
Date: September 25, 2025
Overview
This episode, hosted by Jack Posobiec live from Phoenix, Arizona in the Charlie Kirk Studio, centers on how conservatives must respond—or, as the host argues, fight back—to what Posobiec and his guests describe as increasing left-wing violence and institutional bias against the right. With guests including Andrew Colvett (former producer, now spokesman at Turning Point USA), Megyn Kelly, and Dr. Peter Navarro, the show explores media misinformation, the failures of Republican leadership, demonic influences alleged in recent tragedies, and the justice system's treatment of high-profile conservatives.
Key Discussion Points and Insights
1. Andrew Colvett’s Transition to the Spotlight
[00:50–07:07]
- Colvett’s Move from Producer to Spokesman:
- Jack and Andrew discuss the abrupt changes in his career, moving from behind-the-scenes to public-facing roles due to internal team events.
- Colvett emphasizes the personal toll public scrutiny brings, including misinformation and support from the conservative community.
- Faith in Uncertain Times:
- Colvett shares a poignant moment after Charlie Kirk’s death, describing his surrender to God for guidance (05:46), leading him to peace in a time of uncertainty.
- Quote (Andrew Colvett, 05:21): “I had a moment of surrender where I just said, okay, fine, God, whatever you have for me, whatever it is you need of me, I will say yes. As soon as I let go, I felt peace.”
- Importance of Community:
- Jack acknowledges the challenges and praises the supportive network around Turning Point USA after their loss.
2. Media Misinformation and Left-Wing Violence
[07:27–14:45]
- Debate at Turning Point USA Event:
- Clip discussed where a student accuses conservatives of enabling violence, specifically citing Trump’s rhetoric and events surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
- Megyn Kelly forcefully rebuts, attributing the violence to “leftist ideology” rather than conservative rhetoric.
- Quote (Megyn Kelly, 08:16): “Let’s just make clear. This guy was motivated by leftist ideology. We know it from the bullet casings, we know it from the Utah governor, we know it from his own...”
- Mainstream Media Critique:
- Jack and Megyn Kelly denounce the mainstream media, especially their portrayal of recent violent incidents, like the ICE facility shooting, characterizing their coverage as intentionally misleading.
- Quote (Megyn Kelly, 10:44): “They’re openly lying about the Charlie assassination and the assassin, and they’re openly lying about what happened in Dallas yesterday at the ICE facility... They must want more of it or they would be working harder to stay honest and adhere to the facts.”
- On Responsibility to Correct Lies:
- Jack criticizes the failure of prominent figures (namely, Jimmy Kimmel) to retract false narratives or apologize, labeling this a deliberate tactic rather than an honest mistake.
3. Disappointment in Republican Response
[14:45–18:15]
- Call for Stronger Action:
- Both Jack and Megyn Kelly express immense frustration with “milquetoast” Republican responses, arguing that statements and olive branches are not enough in the face of what they describe as leftist violence.
- Quote (Jack Posobiec, 15:17): “We weren’t put in office to write strongly-worded letters and tweets... Where is the federal government action to prevent the leftist killing spree of bloody September?”
- Praise for Aggressive Tactics:
- Megyn Kelly supports FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr’s moves against media personalities, arguing that the left should be made to “feel the heat” of government and institutional pressures conservatives say they have faced for years (16:36).
- Quote (Megyn Kelly, 17:47): “We must do to them what they've been doing to us. And that means if we need to rattle their cage and have Brendan Carr say to the affiliates... then so be it.”
- Historical Parallels:
- Jack asserts, “If you don’t apply pressure back in the other direction, they will not stop. It’s like having kids. If my kids are acting up, you’ve got to put the foot down.” (18:15)
4. Claims of Demonic Influence and the Jezebel Hex
[19:35–26:49]
- The "Jezebel Witch Hex" Story:
- Megyn Kelly recounts the story of Jezebel website writers hiring witches to put hexes on Charlie Kirk, which Charlie and his wife Erica took seriously enough to request a blessing.
- Connection made between the timing of the hexes and Charlie’s assassination.
- Megyn reflects on Erica’s faith and coping, highlighting widespread spiritual interpretations among the conservative movement after the tragedy.
- Quote (Megyn Kelly, 24:24): “They paid this so-called witch to curse or put a hex on Charlie. And they did this 18 days before Charlie died... then they paid to amp up the hex and... found a different so-called witch... So now they had three [hexes]. And literally 18 days later, Charlie was assassinated.”
- Christian Commentary:
- Jack and Megyn discuss the dangers of the occult and reaffirm Christian belief in the ultimate impotence of curses vs. faith in God.
- Quote (Jack Posobiec, 25:28): “You can invite the demonic onto yourself... but those witches and that hex and the spell and all of the demons combined could not corrupt Charlie's immortal soul.”
- Megyn Kelly (26:33): “...she had come to realize... that these people had no power over Charlie, that these demons, that Satan was not in control, that God was in control…”
5. Dr. Peter Navarro: Accountability, Justice, and the Need to Fight Back
[29:35–47:54]
- Accountability as “Sixth Stage of Grief”:
- Dr. Navarro discusses his experiences being prosecuted (“for a misdemeanor”) and imprisoned, linking his situation to a broader conservative narrative of persecution and lawfare by the left.
- Quote (Dr. Peter Navarro, 29:59): “For me, they talk about the five stages of grief. There’s a sixth one, and that for me is accountability. If they can come for us, they can come for you. We have to hold them accountable, otherwise they’ll do it again.”
- Naming Alleged Perpetrators:
- Navarro lists officials and FBI agents, especially Walter Giardina and James Comey, as responsible for what he deems lawless political persecution.
- Recounts the well-known “Steele dossier” and “Crossfire Hurricane” as part of a conspiracy against Trump and his allies.
- Systemic Injustice Allegations:
- He shares his personal “Kafka-esque” experience with the justice system, where judges and prosecutors are described as ideologically tainted.
- Claims the system applies harsh penalties to conservatives while shielding liberal actors from accountability.
- RICO Statute and Call for Legal Retaliation:
- Navarro argues for prosecuting Comey (and others) under standards used against right-wing figures, advocating “Old Testament-style” justice.
- Quote (Dr. Peter Navarro, 37:29): “If we don’t apply this pressure... If we don’t use the iron law of exact reciprocity... they’re going to do this again and again because they will do so with impunity.”
- Personal Toll and Failures of GOP Leadership:
- Navarro details the emotional and financial damage caused by his prosecution and the broader “lawfare” campaign.
- Expresses deep disappointment in House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan for lack of action, contrasting him with Senator Chuck Grassley.
- Quote (Dr. Peter Navarro, 46:54): “Jim Jordan is the biggest disappointment of my life in the Hill. I mean, if you contrast him on the House side on Judiciary with what Chuck Grassley is doing... Jim Jordan sits on his ass and he’s done it for years... he’s not doing his job.”

Tone and Style
The episode is combative, sometimes emotional, and unapologetically polemical—both in tone and content. Jack Posobiec and his guests frame the current American political environment as “warfare,” calling for reciprocal (though non-violent) action by conservatives.
The language is urgent, with frequent references to spiritual warfare, faith, and the dangers posed by both the “violent left” and institutional actors in government and media. There is little, if any, attempt at bipartisan appeals, with the energy focused firmly on rallying, warning, and sometimes critiquing the right’s own leadership.
This summary provides listeners unfamiliar with the episode a thorough understanding of its main arguments, emotional highlights, major quotes, and structure—illuminating the show’s approach to recent events and the broader conservative response being advocated by Jack Posobiec and his guests.
