00:00:30.000In June, the left launched its No Kings protest to denounce the horrific authoritarian dictatorship of Donald Trump.
00:00:37.840Deporting illegal alien gang members, preventing the mutilation of children, and punishing criminals all became proof of Trump's incipient fascism.
00:00:45.960Now that Trump has deployed National Guard troops to stop violent leftist mobs from attacking ICE officers,
00:00:51.740Democrats and the left have decided to stage a sequel on Saturday.
00:00:55.480The whole thing will look like a farce.
00:00:57.440Clever signs, bad folk music, and stale slogans.
00:01:01.000But behind the clown show, the left is radicalizing shock troops preparing them to do real violence.
00:01:07.460No myth runs deeper in American life than the idea that peaceful protest drives reform.
00:01:12.900Boomers grew up believing that singing folk songs, waving witty signs, and smoking pot were powerful tools of change.
00:01:19.460The media sanctified the calm resolve of civil rights marches and the flower child theatrics of the anti-war movement as the true engines of progress.
00:01:29.260As usual, Hollywood left out all the ugly parts.
00:01:33.600Those movements also produced riots, rapes, arsons, bombings, and murders.
00:01:38.500The violence was so widespread that Richard Nixon's 1968 campaign ran one of the most famous ads in American political history, promising to restore law and order.
00:01:48.820The peaceful demonstrators made for good television, but it was the violence that moved the needle.
00:01:53.620No one likes to say it out loud, but the violence worked.
00:01:56.560The first round of no-king's protests had a respectable turnout, but achieved nothing.
00:02:02.740Leftists filled the streets to mock Trump and chant about freedom, but no policies were changed and no momentum followed.
00:02:09.300Yeah, Trump's approval rating may have slipped into the mid-40s, but Democrats are somehow even worse.
00:02:14.880They're still wallowing in the low 30s.
00:02:17.260Americans may be wary of the current situation, but the protests haven't persuaded them that the Democrats can govern.
00:02:23.560Violence, on the other hand, has been more effective.
00:02:27.760The assassination of Charlie Kirk has made conservative campus events nearly impossible.
00:02:33.080Universities now demand absurd security fees or simply cancel appearances outright, citing safety concerns.
00:02:40.060The threat doesn't come from the speakers, of course.
00:02:43.240It comes from the activists that universities officially refuse to restrain.
00:02:47.920Several conservative commentators are stepping in to finish Kirk's tour,
00:02:51.720but the assassin's veto has reshaped the landscape.
00:02:55.460Violence also brought Jimmy Kimmel back to late-night television.
00:02:58.900After he lied about Kirk's assassination, sponsors complained, and two major affiliates refused to run his show.
00:03:05.580Sinclair Broadcasting even planned to air a Kirk tribute in the slot where Jimmy Kimmel usually appears.
00:03:11.740Then came bomb threats, followed by gunfire targeting an ABC station in California.
00:03:17.000Sinclair folded, scrapping the tribute, and restoring Kimmel to the lineup.
