Episode: THE VIOLENT LEFT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THEY'RE STOPPED
Date: September 26, 2025

Overview

This episode of Human Events Daily, hosted by Jack Posobiec, issues a stark warning about the ongoing violence perpetrated by leftist groups such as Antifa, focusing specifically on recent attacks against ICE facilities in Chicago and Dallas. The central thesis of the episode is that passive requests for peace from the violent left are ineffective, and only decisive, government-backed action will halt the aggression.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Recent Attacks on ICE Facilities

• Chicago: Ongoing violent riots and the recent confiscation of a firearm at the Broadview ICE facility during protests involving approximately 200 agitators. Law enforcement faced obstruction and threats to operations.

  • Jack Posobiec: "They have turned these colleges into madrasas of antifa domestic terrorism." [05:31]
• Failure of Authorities: A callout to law enforcement and politicians for not forcefully countering leftist violence, drawing parallels to child discipline—stern intervention is needed.
  • Jack Posobiec: "If you got to be dad, Dad's got to put his foot down, or otherwise they're going to keep doing it." [02:57]

3. Policy and Law Enforcement Responses

• Dehumanization of Law Enforcement: Frustration about media and left-wing "dehumanization and demonization" of agencies like ICE.
  • Trisha McLaughlin: "You’ve done such a great job, Jack, of pointing out the dehumanization and the demonization of our law enforcement from these media pundits." [18:21]
• Personal Reflections and Charlie Kirk’s Legacy: Extended discussions with Carrie Lake about the psychological impact of violence and leftist ideology on youth, highlighting a generational trauma and the influence of education.
  • Carrie Lake: "This generation has been through hardcore brainwashing their whole life, and it's a miracle any of them could come out of that halfway normal." [40:17]
  • Carrie Lake: "I think Charlie’s legacy is going to be that he brought a lot of people over to common sense, conservative ideology, and more importantly, to Christ, to his Savior and our Savior." [44:05]

5. Economic Optimism and the Working Class

• Wages, Tax Policy, and "Muscular Class": Tribute to Charlie Kirk's advocacy for abolishing taxes on tips, and ongoing policies focused on boosting blue-collar workers' incomes, including the self-employed and digital content creators.
  • Joe Lavernia: "No tax on tips is important, but it also includes no tax on overtime... It’s going to lower inflation." [29:20]
