00:00:30.000 For the second time in as many months, Donald Trump has survived an assassination attempt.

00:00:42.640 The first attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, left Trump bloodied in front of a large crowd

00:00:46.800 where a plethora of cameras captured the real estate tycoon's defiant and inspiring reaction.

00:00:53.260 Democratic politicians and the media have been escalating their rhetoric surrounding the presidential

00:00:57.880 candidate for years, regularly making comparisons to Hitler and labeling Trump as an existential threat

00:01:03.020 to democracy.

00:01:04.700 The chattering class continued to make their hatred known, but at least for a few weeks, 0.97

00:01:09.360 they recognized that it was probably best to tone things down.

00:01:12.920 Now that a second gunman has attempted to take Trump's life, the left has dropped any pretense

00:01:17.280 of moderation.

00:01:19.560 Progressives have leaned heavily into the idea that Trump is responsible for the attacks on his own life,

00:01:24.940 doubling down on their rhetorical justifications.

00:01:27.620 The left has decided that political violence should be a regular feature of American life,

00:01:32.960 and that only one side should ever be allowed to wield it.

00:01:36.420 The fact that the Pennsylvania shooting in July took place at a public rally meant that events

00:01:42.500 were well documented, but the shooter was left intentionally shrouded in mystery.

00:01:47.300 Thomas Matthew Crooks had a suspiciously thin social media profile for a 20-year-old,

00:01:52.360 and government officials appeared determined to obfuscate his motives, with the FBI going so

00:01:56.860 far as to lie under oath about his internet posting.

00:01:59.480 Trump's newest assailant, 58-year-old Ryan Routh, has a far more robust public profile

00:02:06.140 full of political opinions.

00:02:08.440 With a Biden-Harris bumper sticker and 19 separate donations to Democratic causes,

00:02:13.840 Routh's politics are as clear as it gets.

00:02:17.180 The Democratic donor was a big supporter of the war in Ukraine, speaking to the New York Times

00:02:21.820 and appearing in an Azov Battalion propaganda video where he declared his willingness to recruit

00:02:27.120 and fight for the foreign nation.

00:02:30.220 Despite having a sordid legal history, including a standoff with police involving a fully automatic

00:02:37.060 weapon, Routh was somehow allowed to travel to Ukraine in 2022, where he intended to serve

00:02:43.680 in the Foreign Legion, but was rejected due to age.

00:02:47.480 Both Facebook and Twitter took down the shooter's social media account, but before they were scrubbed

00:02:52.840 clean, users were able to capture several posts in which Routh echoed the rhetoric of both

00:02:58.260 Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, claiming that, quote, democracy is on the ballot and we cannot

00:03:03.960 lose, end quote.

00:03:06.140 More information is certain to be uncovered, but what is already clear is that Routh was

00:03:11.400 a regular consumer and true believer in the kind of radicalizing propaganda regularly pushed

00:03:17.520 out by MSNBC and the White House.

00:03:20.820 When liberal influencers compared Trump to Hitler, Routh took them seriously, and when

00:03:25.940 they told him that Trump was an existential threat to the country and could not be allowed

00:03:30.400 to return to the office, Routh took action. 0.91

00:03:33.980 The media has been grooming radicals in the hope that someone would kill Donald Trump for

00:03:39.080 years.

00:03:40.280 In my piece written after the first Trump assassination attempt, I explained that process in detail

00:03:46.700 and predicted that the left would continue until another shooter finally succeeded in murdering

00:03:51.560 the former president.

00:03:53.160 The fact that the left no longer feels the need to even tap the brakes in the aftermath of

00:03:59.560 a second assassination attempt is a really terrible sign.

00:04:04.400 After Democrats failed to strip Trump from the ballot or jail him on manufactured charges,

00:04:10.400 Joe Biden lost the first presidential debate in stunning fashion.

00:04:14.260 Despite this humiliating defeat, Biden ignored calls from his own party to step aside and

00:04:20.720 vowed to continue his run for president until the first assassination attempt failed to kill

00:04:26.880 Trump.

00:04:28.140 Only then did Biden relinquish his role as candidate through some random post on Twitter with no

00:04:35.240 personal verification, which I'm sure was totally voluntary.

00:04:39.300 Trump managed to defeat Kamala Harris in the second presidential debate, despite having 0.70

00:04:45.280 to square off not just with his Democratic opponent, but with the two ABC moderators as well.

00:04:51.600 Another devastating debate loss and another assassination attempt.

00:04:56.260 Progressives, unable to compete in the realm of traditional electoral politics, are creating

00:05:01.260 a climate of political terror, jailing their opponents when they can and attempting to murder

00:05:06.740 them when that fails.

00:05:08.780 When does fast grocery delivery through Instacart matter most?

00:05:12.580 When your famous grainy mustard potato salad isn't so famous without the grainy mustard?

00:05:17.440 When the barbecue's lit, but there's nothing to grill?

00:05:20.100 When the in-laws decide that, actually, they will stay for dinner?

00:05:23.820 Instacart has all your groceries covered this summer.

00:05:35.560 Instacart, groceries that over-deliver.

00:05:39.600 Sadly, this is far from the first time that left-wing political terror has come to dominate

00:05:44.980 the American landscape.

00:05:46.940 President William McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist in 1901.

00:05:51.120 In the 1970s, we saw a horrific amount of left-wing terror with over 2,000 bombs planted

00:05:57.540 in 1972 alone by radical progressives.

00:06:01.220 This normalization of leftist political violence has been all but expunged from the public consciousness,

00:06:09.000 and many of the perpetrators have been elevated to prestigious positions inside the ruling elite.

00:06:14.740 Bill Ayers, one of the leaders of the radical progressive terror group The Weather Underground,

00:06:19.820 became a professor at the University of Chicago and famously a mentor to President Barack Obama.

00:06:25.760 The left has always celebrated and elevated its radicals, including terrorists,

00:06:31.660 and now it's seeking to return to a climate dominated by political violence.

00:06:36.400 In the 1930s, Spain was a country facing incredible political turmoil.

00:06:43.840 Several factions existed ranging from communists to liberals, monarchists to fascists.

00:06:50.300 These factions coalesced into two distinct coalitions representing the general left and right,

00:06:56.720 and the deep cultural divide they represented was defined by incendiary political rhetoric.

00:07:02.400 Assassination attempts became a common feature of everyday life.

00:07:07.340 The Spanish prime minister and several party leaders were killed,

00:07:11.620 which inevitably led to the organization of partisan militias and the declaration of formal hostilities.

00:07:18.780 When one political faction decides that the regular use of violence is an acceptable tactic,

00:07:25.540 the options of their opponents narrow rather rapidly.

00:07:28.720 The left uses its media hegemony and institutional advantage to portray Trump as some kind of agent of division and hate.

00:07:37.480 But when the bullets are all flying one direction,

00:07:41.080 it becomes very clear which party is responsible for the political violence that is now being regularly deployed.

00:07:47.520 If progressives insist on feeding their supporters an endless diet of apocalyptic pornography designed to evoke the most radical responses imaginable,

00:07:59.200 some percentage of that audience will take them seriously.

00:08:04.320 The left is so self-righteous in their convictions and so secure in their own power

00:08:10.360 that they truly believe they can freely encourage multiple assassination attempts on the opposition candidate without any consequence.

00:08:20.240 The ground that Democratic politicians and their media allies are treading on is incredibly dangerous.

00:08:28.100 This kind of escalation is a disastrous game that no one wins.

00:08:33.520 If there's any cooler heads remaining on the political left,

00:08:38.140 they must put an end to their party's embrace of political violence.

00:08:42.020 The path that they're driving down at full speed only has one horrible result,

00:08:48.460 and no one who cares for this country would wish to arrive at that destination.
