00:00:30.200 Donald Trump survived another assassination attempt from a deranged progressive.
00:00:35.400 Thankfully, Cole Allen wasn't able to get a clear shot at the president,
00:00:39.120 but the fact that another radical leftist managed to smuggle a long gun into the event site should alarm everybody.
00:00:46.460 Despite multiple attempts on Trump's life and the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk,
00:00:51.500 progressives have only intensified their rhetoric, including open calls for violence.
00:00:56.360 Democrats aren't interested in turning down the temperature or abandoning political violence.
00:01:01.080 They're only disappointed that the lone gunmen they inspired have been unsuccessful.
00:01:06.140 Progressives see political violence as their birthright,
00:01:09.040 and they're not going to stop deploying it unless they're stopped with immediate and severe consequences.
00:01:15.400 While Democrats will deliver tired platitudes about political violence having no place in our country,
00:01:20.800 the truth is that violence has been central to their strategy for a long time.
00:01:25.520 From the race riots of the 1960s to the terror bombings of the 1970s to modern-day assassinations,
00:01:32.820 leftists have regularly wielded violence.
00:01:35.440 It's comforting to pretend that our political system is one in which peaceful negotiation
00:01:39.800 and intelligent debate drive every outcome, but that simply isn't the case.
00:01:44.040 Whether it's the intimidation of Supreme Court justices or the shooting of members of Congress,
00:01:48.640 Democrats understand the power of violence and don't hesitate to use it.
00:01:52.120 violence is the ultimate political argument the most powerful tool one can deploy when
00:01:58.560 furthering one's cause this is why our founding fathers referred to the revolution as an appeal
00:02:03.960 to heaven the final attempt to secure their rights as englishmen when all else had failed
00:02:09.080 violence is powerful but destabilizing no one really wants to live in a constant state of war
00:02:15.060 where every political and personal disagreement is resolved through force that's why the first
00:02:19.620 duty of the state is to secure a monopoly on sanctioned violence, taking the powerful but
00:02:25.300 dangerous weapon off the table. Some political systems believe that the civil magistrate has
00:02:31.340 been granted stewardship over violence by God himself. Others see it as a social contract in
00:02:37.360 which we collectively give up our right to violence in exchange for the protection of the state.
00:02:43.640 However you frame it, a monopoly on violence is critical to maintaining order, a country that
00:02:49.120 allows other entities inside its jurisdiction to use violence, like gangs or cartels, is
00:02:55.660 generally considered a failed state because the citizens can't rely on the government
00:02:59.920 to maintain order.
00:03:01.120 The population will feel compelled to go outside the sanctioned system to meet their security
00:03:06.980 needs, and whoever reliably delivers on those needs tends to become the new government.
00:03:13.120 This might all sound obvious, but in the modern world, it has to be repeated because we've
00:03:18.340 lost touch with basic truth. America and much of the Western world has been safe and stable for so
00:03:24.600 long that we've forgotten the historical norm. Free debate and inquiry leading to a democratic
00:03:30.660 consensus that's peacefully enacted by a civilian government, that's fantastic, but it's far from
00:03:36.420 the standard throughout history. Amazingly, we've been able to enjoy this extended period of
00:03:42.000 stability, but it can also blind us to reality when the nature of our situation changes.
00:03:48.240 The cliche is that violence is never the answer. The truth is that violence is the ultimate answer,
00:03:54.700 and we forget that at our own peril. That's why the state must take violence off the table by
00:04:01.260 maintaining its monopoly on violence. Once violence is introduced into the equation,
00:04:06.820 it quickly spreads across all domains because it outcompetes all other political strategies.
00:04:12.980 In an orderly society, political violence must carry the ultimate taboo.
00:04:17.780 Not because it doesn't work, but because it works all too well.
00:04:22.100 The January 6th protest was far from the violent insurrection the media portrayed it as.
00:04:27.840 Those entering the Capitol didn't even have guns.
00:04:30.240 But the Biden administration didn't play any games.
00:04:32.820 The regime didn't stop at arresting those who entered the building.
00:04:36.040 They arrested the people outside. They arrested the people who had discussions with those that
00:04:41.180 went inside. They arrested people who were hundreds of miles away, but could tangentially
00:04:46.000 be connected. One can disagree with those arrests, of course, but the messaging was clear. We have
00:04:52.300 the monopoly on violence, and if you even imply that you might take some kind of kinetic action,
00:04:59.080 we're going to crush you. Motherhood doesn't come with a manual. In a world of perfect feeds and
00:05:04.660 curated play dates it's easy to forget that your instinct is actually your best guide some things
00:05:09.920 come naturally and then there are parts that no one really sees this mother's day little bellies

00:05:31.240 The Trump administration hasn't really undertaken any serious action after multiple attempts on the president's life or the successful murder of Charlie Kirk.
00:05:41.400 In fact, the murder of Charlie Kirk might have been the most successful political assassination in American history.
00:05:48.460 It threw the right into disarray, derailing the MAGA agenda and causing conservatives to collapse into a civil war.
00:05:54.720 The fact that the latest assassination attempt came just days after the administration finally took its first serious action against a progressive organization like the Southern Poverty Law Center, that can't go unnoticed.
00:06:08.340 Incredibly, many conservatives seem to have already internalized regular assassination attempts as like part of day-to-day American politics in the same way they've accepted frequent race riots deployed by the left.
00:06:21.260 Lazy speeches about double standards and hypocrisy are delivered to shame the left into better
00:06:27.600 behavior, but this is delusional.
00:06:30.160 Democrats have had a monopoly on political violence for decades, and they're fully aware
00:06:34.400 of what an enormous advantage that is.
00:06:36.840 There's zero chance progressives are going to yield such a powerful tool simply because
00:06:41.780 someone delivered a lecture on the importance of democratic norms.
00:06:45.980 The left will stop being violent when it pays a January 6th-style price for what it's done, and not one minute before.
00:06:54.600 Now, in all fairness to the Trump administration, this is a problem that they inherited, not one that they created.
00:07:00.960 The left has had the exclusive right to domestic political violence for at least 70 years.
00:07:06.960 And except for Richard Nixon, no Republican president has taken the issue seriously.
00:07:12.080 Progressives now see exclusive access to violence as their natural birthright, and many conservatives seem to agree.
00:07:20.760 But while Trump didn't create this state of affairs, he also can't allow it to remain in place.
00:07:26.640 Something has to change, and it must change drastically, because leftists are now ramping up the frequency and severity of their violent outbursts, and they feel entitled to do that.
00:07:37.860 political violence is a fire that will expand and consume everything if it's allowed to after
00:07:45.620 progressive assassins failed to kill trump multiple times they pivoted to targets with
00:07:51.240 less security like charlie kirk how many more failed attempts at killing the president do you
00:07:57.400 really think it'll take before a leftist terrorist decides that maybe crowds of trump supporters they
00:08:03.240 would just be easier to target. The 250th anniversary of America is rapidly approaching,
00:08:10.040 where thousands of patriotic Trump supporters will be gathered across the country.
00:08:14.420 If you think this has escaped the notice of domestic terror networks like Antifa,
00:08:19.020 you're sadly mistaken. The Trump administration needs to drop a mighty hammer on the left to let
00:08:25.280 them know that violence is off the table. Failure to take action will ensure that things become much,
00:08:32.220 much worse.
