I'd say Happy Monday, but it was obviously quite the weekend here in Washington, D.C. with the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner. A bunch of people have reached out. My husband and I did not attend. We were supposed to couldn't get a sitter for our daughter and my husband wasn't feeling very well on Saturday night and so at the very last minute we bailed and had no idea anything was wrong until a friend called to make sure that we were okay and I thought he was asking about my husband not feeling well and I started to answer that and he said what are you talking about? And I said what are you talking about? And he said there's been a shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner immediately was transported back not just to Charlie's death but when the President was shot the last night of our honeymoon in 2024 and we both sat straight up off the couch where we were laying down watching TikToks and we ended up working until about one in the morning. But it was a hard night. All of our friends that we work with every day were in the room. Certainly important people that are currently running our country were in the room and and I think the hardest thing of all to watch was certainly everyone's facial expressions just being instantaneously transported back less than eight months ago now to Charlie Kirk's assassination at Utah Valley University. I will never unsee the video of my beautiful friend Erica Leaving the room. I wish people wouldn't post it on social media, but different conversation for another time. All of that to be said. I've been sitting with what happened on Saturday for the last several days now, and I just keep coming back to the reality that needs to be addressed and it needs to be addressed as clearly and as honestly as humanly possible. The United States of America has a left wing political violence problem. Period. Full stop. I don't want to hear. But, but, but, but, but. I don't want to hear what about? What about? What about? I want everyone in our country, frankly, we all need everyone in our country if we are to persist as a country at this point to unabashedly, fundamentally understand that our country has a left wing political violence problem and it has got to stop. Importantly, beyond that, that political violence starts with the rhetoric that is incessantly repeated over and over and over again by the most prominent, powerful people in our society with zero regard for the consequences down the line for it. Enough is enough. Or at least it has to be, because how many more presidential assassination attempts can we expect as a result of this commentary? How many more incredible leaders and activists in the conservative movement can we expect to be violently and publicly murdered and then made fun of for it? If this political rhetoric continues? How many more people have to die and have their life on the line for us to realize that a house divided to this degree cannot stand and our country will cease to exist as a result of this language? Is it this? I hope so, but I don't know that we're there yet. And I'm hoping that my friends and colleagues on the left take this as an opportunity to wake up. Because we are in an incredibly dark place as a society. If we can't. People have been tweeting out over the last 48 hours or so, tons of clips from the mainstream media and from actors and musicians, big twitch streamers and podcasters, emphasizing the fact that this rhetoric of normalizing violence on the political left has been going on for a long time. And we all know this. I mean, if you pay attention to politics, like at all, you hear this rhetoric every single day. But I think for those of you that aren't quite as chronically online as myself, and maybe you don't interact with this and these people on a day by day basis, this is important for you to understand. Because this push for violence, this condoning of extremism, of assassinations, of murder, is becoming more and more normalized with every passing day by every passion, pillar of culture you may not be intimately familiar with this on a day by day basis, but I hope today is an educating moment. You need conservatives to be afraid of getting killed when they go to events so that they look to their leadership to turn down the temperature. Yeah, kill them. Kill those mother and murder those mothers in the street. Let the streets. Let the streets soak in their red capitalist blood. Someone has to do it. See, when I say that everyone knows exactly what I need. I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. Look, as his character is stabbed to death. Our first lady Melania is here. Look at Melania. So beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow. When they go low, we kick them. They're still gonna have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump, and that's a fact. When's the last time an actor assassinated a president? So you. I hold it back here. Same exact thing with the accident. That's it. America deserved 9 11. Dude, the guy is a convicted felon or convicted rapist. He's a pedophile. If you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud, you would kill Rick Scott. Besides, besides mocking and protesting, what else do you suggest? Well, it doesn't happen overnight. It's not a miraculous. What did you say? Murder. You'll see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station. You get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they're not welcome. The biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right. And it's not just this video. The former director of the FBI posted on Instagram his cute little beach sculpture. And 8,000, 647 kill the president of the United States. The sitting Attorney General of the state in which I currently live literally had a fever dream not months ago, fantasizing about killing his Republican opponent and the children of his Republican opponent, so that it's the only way the right can change their mind on anything. It's Nancy Pelosi, it's Hakeem Jeffries, it's everywhere. And maybe that's the part of these videos going around that bothers me so much, is that it is everywhere. Every single pillar of culture that is repeating this same condoning of violence and calls to assassinate or violently harm, seriously maim or injure anyone that disagrees with you as a legitimate political means to an end. It's not just fringe extremists anymore. It's actors, it's musicians. It's late night comedy hosts, it's talk show hosts, it's Jane Fonda saying we should murder pro lifers as a culture. If abortion is no longer legal, it's elected officials, it's top operatives in the Democrat party, it's the number one twitch streamer in the political category on the planet. And when the left has normalized this type of rhetoric for so long and further created incendiary politics by calling anyone they disagree with a rapist, a pedophile, Nazis, literally Hitler, all of the crazy labels they love to slap on us, that is then make no mistake about it, radicalizing normal people into actual manifestations of violence like assassination attempts. It was not a few days ago that my beautiful friend Savannah Hernandez was brutally beaten up while covering some man on the street interviews of the anti ice protests that continue to rage across our country. It is current, currently an ongoing conversation across our country that Nick Shirley should be violently thrown in prison because his man on the street reporting his actual investigative journalism is uncovering criminal activity that politicians are sweeping under the rug. Literally. State legislators in the state of California are calling Nick Shirley a psycho. A psycho. It was not eight months ago that the best of us, the leader of the conservative movement, at least for young people, was violently assassinated on a college campus and half the country cheered for it. Members of my own extended family posted on social media about how well he deserved it. This is radicalizing normal people into thinking violence is acceptable and is normal as a direct result of the rhetoric of Hasan Piker and destiny and Don Lemon and Nancy Pelosi and Jane Fonda and Jimmy Kimmel. And they're pretty vocal about it too, in case you're wondering. Here is how the normal people responded to the White House correspondents dinner shooting and the death of Charlie Kirk. Peaceful protests won't fix this. Being peaceful won't fix this. I'm telling you, not resorting to violence won't fix it. Missed again. Oh my. I wake up each morning hoping he has died. I go to bed each night hoping by the time I get up in the morning he has died. Charlie Kirk was pretty conservative, right? But in the end he leans left. Hey, two of those people. For the record, public school teachers, these people are not just insane, they're not just radicalized into violence. They are teaching your children probably also to be radicalized into violence. And they're both still employed. By the way, that lady shooting her neck, making fun of Charlie, still employed as a public school teacher. So speaks volumes about the society we live in. Back to today's. Really important conversation in just a second. But first, you guys know it's spring. And spring has sprung here in Washington, D.C. which is a natural reset point for everything around us, but also for ourselves too.

Despite the fact that Barack Obama is over here saying we don't know what the motive is from this guy who literally left behind us a manifesto. He he did leave behind a manifesto and in it is incredibly specific about why he feels the need to take down President Donald Trump and to kill violently as many people who work for him as possible and if necessary, anyone who stands in their way. In the manifesto he wrote this onto why I did any of this. I am a citizen of the United States of America. What my representatives do reflects on me and I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, a rapist and traitor to to coat my hands with his crimes. Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity I've had to do something about it. While I'm discussing this, I'll also go over my engagement expected rules of engagement. Here's who he's specifically targeting Administration officials. They are targets prioritized from highest ranking to lowest ranking. He goes through all of the people who are or are not targets of his attempted assassination of the President and then specifically says I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary, on the basis that most people chose to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist and traitor and are thus complicit. But I really hope it doesn't come to that. G I wonder where someone like Cole Allen, mechanical engineer, public school teacher, college graduate, incredibly high functioning smart individual who didn't, according to what we know as of now, show any major signs of completely unraveling or dealing with severe mental issues, was a pretty vocal leftist on the Internet, but other than donating $25 to Act Blue for the Kamala Harris campaign, wasn't exactly an activist in his community. I wonder where someone like this could have gotten the idea that that Donald Trump was a pedophile, a rapist and a traitor worthy of being killed. Gee, I wonder. According to some of the initial reporting that I've seen in terms of the investigation that is now already several days underway after the attempted assassination on Saturday, Cole Allen kind of recently became an activist. He was attending no Kings protests. He was posting rampantly on Blue sky, the hub for everyone's favorite Internet comedy show, and according to his family, was a member of a radicalized left wing group probably connected through Blue sky to get there. And while it's so easy for us to look at historical attempts of violence against the President as some fringe lunatic driven by something like schizophrenia or severe substance abuse or some major mental disorder. This feels different. And I think it feels different because it is. Political violence has evolved and become substantially different from the last time a president of the United States was shot at the same hotel that this attempted assassination happened this weekend. Ronald Reagan was shot at the same hotel when he was president. Will Ricky Ardella, who is one of the managing editors at Fox News, had a powerful take on this that I still can't stop thinking about. He said the White House Correspondents association alleged shooter wasn't some nutjob lurking on the fringes of society forgotten by the system. He was a well educated, credentialed, employed and institutionally formed individual. That's what makes this so disturbing. At first glance, this doesn't look like a breakdown of the system. It looks more like a product of it. Academia, media and politics helped to build the moral permission structure for this to happen. Let that sink in. And he's right. When teachers across the country are hooping and hollering celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk and professors are suggesting that it's totally acceptable to exhibit political violence in our free society as a legitimate means to an end. A very Marxist communist worldview, by the way. Of course, that could radicalize someone into this type of behavior. When the media is incessantly repeating the same scripted talking points over and over and over again. That Donald Trump is literally Hitler, that anyone who supports him is condoning fascism, that pro life just want millions of women to be killed every year and raped by violent men, that anyone you disagree with is evil. Of course someone could be radicalized into this. When politicians are regularly using their platform to scream through megaphones saying when you see Trump administration officials out in the street, harass them, tell them they are not welcome anywhere in society. The biggest threat to our democracy is Donald Trump and anyone who supports him more than half the country, or when they go low, whatever that's supposed to mean, we kick them, saying that from a position of public office. Of course your constituents and anyone in our country could be radicalized from this. Taking a quick break to just talk about something fun and sweet and cozy. Quick question. What is the outfit that you actually live in? Not the one that you post in, but the one that you actually wear and reach for every single day without thinking about it. For me right now, and it is a brushed bamboo jogger set from our friends at Cozy Earth. And I am not kidding. It is that perfect balance of soft enough to sleep in, but still put together enough to answer the door or run out quickly or get on an airplane and not look like a total slob. It is lightweight, breathable, and somehow just gets softer the more that you wear it. And if you pair it with their lake house clogs, you are all set with a perfect fit for the day.

Cole Allen is not an exception to the system. He's not some fringe lunatic that on a whim was driven by mental health issues or substance abuse to do this. Cole Allen is the system. He is a byproduct of the system and was pushed into normalization of assassination by what Charlie Kirk often called a rising assassination culture on the left before he himself was assassinated. When the media, the entertainment industry, academia, in some ways the church, at least in America, and virtually every prominent leader of the Democrat Party in elected office or running the party is repeating the same radical language to kill those mother effers, let the streets soak in their red capitalist blood. Or that all conservatives need to be afraid of being killed when they go to events because it's the only way things will change. Or hey, I'm fantasizing about killing my Republican opponents children because it's the only way that we're going to get people to change their minds. Of course normal people are radicalized as a result of it. People have been sharing a lot the last couple of days. This YouGov poll that came out in 2025 showing that now as a result of this culture, 22% of liberals under 44 say it's okay to feel happy when their political opponent dies, compared to just 6% of conservatives at their age 6% is too high if you ask me. But this is just the lunatics who decided to actually answer this poll honestly. In truth, that number is probably twice as high as it is. But even if this were just objectively true, you're telling me that nearly four times the number of liberals as conservatives believe that political assassinations are worthy of being happy about. That is a left wing violence problem in America and it has got to stop. As my husband and I watched all this happen on Saturday night and then got up Sunday morning and we were flipping through all of the channels, I think we both maybe naively were hoping that this would be a turning point opportunity, no pun intended, for the media to realize that it is their rhetoric that has contributed to this, or for left wing politicians to realize that it's their rhetoric that contributed to this, or it's these radical crazy twitch streamers to realize it is their rhetoric that contributed to this. And maybe this would be a wake up call. And we sat there flipping through all of the cable news stations realizing that some people may have that opportunity. But sadly, like the last Trump assassination attempt and like our friend Charlie being assassinated, sometimes I think these people are so deeply bought into lies having become truth that they have no realm of understanding of the consequences of the words that they say. CBS actually had relatively pretty fair coverage of all of this on Sunday morning. But then we flipped over to NBC and Meet the Press, where immediately Thom Tillis, being interviewed, was asked to compare what happened on Saturday with the entire line of presidential succession in the room on the receiving end of bullets flying through the air to January 6th. You were there on that violent day. What did that feel like? And then about 30 seconds later they said, okay, now switching our coverage to the Fed chair. And that seems to be the mentality adopted by most of the print media outlets in our country as well. The New York Times ran the headline on Sunday morning, search for Motive of Gunman who Charged Press Gala. As if we weren't given a multi page explicit manifesto that the motive was indeed to kill Donald Trump and anyone who works for him or remotely decided to attend the event to hear him speak. The Washington Post, in their print edition ran the headline Chaos at White House Media Dinner instead of Third Attempted Assassination on the President of the United States and digitally decided to run the headline Trump Evacuated from White House Correspondents Dinner. After, you guessed it, loud noises heard which felt oddly reminiscent to the Butler, Pennsylvania headline they ran Trump escorted away after Loud Noises at PA Rally. Didn't realize bullets were loud noises. But like Cool. I guess that's fine. And the rest of the left, even if it's not, the media is running interference for this repeatedly. President Barack Obama woke up Sunday and decided to tweet Sunday afternoon. Although we don't yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Are you serious? Journalist? But let's be honest, activist Mehdi Hassan decided to quote tweet Clay Travis saying, a reminder, the Butler shooter was a registered Republican. Yeah, because someone pointing a gun at the President of the United States is definitely maga. And he wasn't even President then. He was running for President. Someone supporting the run of Donald Trump for President of the United States is totally pointing a gun at him and shooting him in the head. And he adds, the only prominent elected politician in America to literally call Trump Hitler was his own Vice President, J.D. vance. Objectively not true. By the way, jasmine crockett like 5 minutes ago called Donald Trump Temu Hitler. Kamala Harris regularly compared Donald Trump to Hitler. Gavin Newsom says that ICE is basically the secret police or the Gestapo run by Hitler. Those are just three examples off the top of my head. But way to make this about dividing Donald Trump and J.D. vance to advance your political aims instead of realizing that a deranged left wing lunatic who's actually really not a lunatic, just a byproduct of your commentary was pointing a gun at every other journalist in America and the President of the United States. And of course ends his tweet with but these people don't care about facts. It's all just partisan, cynical, lazy BS spin. As if the literal two sentences before that were not the exact same effing thing you are projecting onto the rest of the country. Hasan Piker, who was regularly featured in that clip we just watched, saying someone needs to do it, assassinate the President, that we should kill the mother effers who call themselves capitalists and let America's streets run red with their effing capitalist blood. Someone who previously while Rick Scott has been in office as the Senator for the State of Florida, said that if you care about Medicaid and Medicare fraud, you should kill a sitting United States Senator. Rick Scott said, we don't even have the details of what happened yet and these mother effers are already using this opportunity to try to blame me. The President uses the most violent rhetoric ever known to man. Perhaps that's why it's usually his own supporters trying to shoot at him. These people lie like they breathe. It is second nature to them. They don't even. I don't even think he consciously was thinking, I'm going to lie in this tweet. They live in an alternate reality because Hasan Piker, please, I beg of you, can you point to a singular example ever where the President of the United States said the streets should run red with socialist blood? When has Donald Trump ever said that we should kill our political opponents? When has Donald Trump ever said someone needs to just do it in assassinating a Democrat sitting president? When has Donald Trump ever said said that we should assassinate a sitting United States senator from the left to combat fraud, which this administration is wildly passionate about. You can't find it because it doesn't exist. Because, newsflash, you are the problem. You may not have directly pulled the trigger, but if you're acting like the rhetoric that you spread incessantly every day on the Internet, vomit inducing vitriol isn't radicalizing people, think again. And it was the New York Times literally four days ago that ran a huge story about how Hasan Piker is the new media darling of the Democrat Party. There's a lot we can say about what happened this last weekend and I'm sure a whole lot more is going to come out and probably every other podcaster on the planet is doing their show about what happened today. So we could get into the fact that in the planning side of things, this was a colossal security failure again to protect our elected officials. And I'm very excited to watch some other people's episodes about that today. We can get into the cruel irony of how the media is responding to this even when they were on the receiving end of the bullets flying because they had the audacity to sit in the same room as Donald Trump. We could get into the background of Cole Allen, etc. Etc. Etc. But the one thing I just think we all need to take home today and sit with and create radical change over is the fact that we have a left wing political violence problem in America. And it starts with the rhetoric. It starts with how these people speak. I am a free speech absolutist to my core. I believe that people have the right to speak their mind. But supporting someone's right to free speech doesn't mean we can't let people know there are consequences to the things that you have to say. And I honestly just don't know how to reconcile with how these people hit the pillow every night saying all of this, knowing that it's manifesting in actual violence and then saying, oh yeah, but that's actually a Good thing, because at least my side is winning now. It's been a hard 48 hours, to be honest. So let's end things on a positive note then. If anything good came out of the last 48 hours, I think there are really two great things that came out of this. First and foremost, the second, that bullets started flying. You watched the men of this administration, the men in the cabinet, immediately respond in the most masculine way possible. I'm sure you guys have all seen photos like this one that I'll show you right now. But Pete Hegseth immediately stood up, surrounded his body around his wife, and was diligently looking around and then subsequently walked around the whole room looking for the suspect, trying to take him down himself. He rose to stand while everyone else cowered in fear. And he shielded his wife. In particular, Stephen Miller, who can also be seen in this photo, immediately wrapped his body around his pregnant wife. Katie is pregnant with their fourth baby as they were being escorted out by Secret Service out of the room. And he immediately, immediately removes his wife from danger in the opposite direction of where the threat is coming from. Didn't think twice, didn't hesitate about it. Despite the ghouls on the Internet trying to say he was using his pregnant wife as a human shield, he literally did the opposite. He shielded her. And there was another photo that I saw of Marco Rubio outside the entrance to the West Wing once they had all gotten back to the White House and he had given his coat to his wife, and they were both clearly emotionally distraught. But you can just tell these men care for the people they are supposed to protect, primarily their wives, which is their primary obligation as a husband. But I also think it creates a powerful, clear image for our culture of why masculinity and strong leadership still matters. And thousands of people are talking about that today. So kudos to the men of Trump 47. But the other good thing that I think we can take away from what happened this last weekend is that there's been a lot of rhetoric of the fact that people are frustrated that conservatives in elected office just haven't been conservative enough. I get it. I understand it. It is completely understandable to be frustrated with the lack of conservatism on offense in Washington, D.C. right now. When we see mass amnesty bills introduced, when we can't pass the Save America act, when they refuse to defund Planned Parenthood, when we continue funding the frigging Taliban. I understand the frustration and we should be outspoken about that. But there are far too many conservatives on the Internet telling You the answer to that is now all of a sudden to vote for Democrats. And if you think that the solution is to vote for Democrats, I hope that Saturday night and the attempted assassination again of the President of the United States was a wake up call. Far too many people on the left today don't just want to beat conservative ideas. They want, and are incredibly honest and transparent about it, to kill conservatives. They killed Charlie Kirk and they celebrate over his family's devastating loss. Still today, they say all conservatives need to be afraid of leaving our homes, afraid of being killed. They repeat public calls for violence against anyone who has ever or will ever work for the President of the United States. They say in no uncertain terms, the streets of our country should run with our blood. These people travel across the country to attempt to assassinate not just the President of the United States, but anyone who works for him or even has the audacity to sit in the room and hear what he has to say. Whether you agree with him or not. This is no longer rhetoric that is perpetuated by a fringe lunatic. This is celebrated and platformed nationwide by the most powerful media outlets on the planet, by activists, by public school teachers, by elected officials. The left is not interested in serving or saving America. Let's be very clear about that. They will do anything actually to see it and anyone fighting for it destroyed. So as one positive takeaway here. Yeah, keep fighting for more conservatism on offense from our elected officials and from the people with a microphone. These people, especially in elected office, were elected to serve us with a mandate, and they must. It's why I'm so grateful for people like Brandon Gill on Capitol Hill today. But I hope it reinforces in a beautiful and positive way that the anecdote to feckless conservatism cannot be support for the people who would rather see you killed. Do you think this last weekend was enough for us to turn things around in our country? Or is this just another descent into further political violence? Let me know what you think in the comments.
