00:00:00.000 Last week, ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel told a big lie on national television.
00:00:06.200 He claimed that Charlie Kirk had been assassinated by a conservative MAGA supporter.
00:00:10.740 That wasn't a bad joke, it was a deliberate attempt to cover for left-wing violence and deceive millions of people.
00:00:17.460 After a campaign pressuring advertisers and affiliates, ABC suspended Kimmel, saying he wouldn't be immediately returned to air.
00:00:24.760 Progressives screamed about cancel culture and circulated petitions,
00:00:28.440 apparently more concerned about a millionaire losing his low-rated show than a murdered father.
00:00:35.020 Then came the threats.
00:00:36.440 Violent warnings poured into ABC affiliates, culminating in a leftist shooting up a station in Sacramento.
00:00:42.760 Shortly afterward, ABC announced that Kimmel would return to air.
00:00:46.660 The lesson for the left was very simple.
00:00:48.720 Violence works. Terrorism works.
00:00:52.740 When Donald Trump was shot on stage in Butler, Pennsylvania last year,
00:00:56.260 the entire world held its collective breath.
00:00:59.060 His supporters didn't flee.
00:01:00.700 They froze, waiting to see if their leader had been killed.
00:01:04.120 If a leftist assassin had succeeded, civil war was certainly on the table.
00:01:09.120 Then Trump stood and raised a defiant fist, and the entire nation exhaled.
00:01:13.840 Not only because the president had survived, but because the darkest path had been narrowly avoided.
00:01:18.700 That moment should have been a turning point.
00:01:21.580 Trump entered office with energy, issuing a flurry of executive orders.
00:01:25.580 But he never confronted the left-wing groups and institutions that had normalized violence.
00:01:30.700 He wanted a stable economy and secure borders, totally understandable.
00:01:34.760 But left-wing radicals continued to act as if they had a special right to political violence.
00:01:39.740 By letting them get away with an assassination attempt and terror in the streets,
00:01:43.880 Trump had ensured that another wave was inevitable.
00:01:46.440 After Kirk's assassination on September 10th,
00:01:50.080 some progressives mouthed words about lowering the temperature.
00:01:53.420 Almost all of them hedged by smearing the victim or blaming both sides.
00:01:58.020 Meanwhile, a disturbingly large faction openly celebrated the murder.
00:02:02.240 Their message was clear.
00:02:03.880 They would never abandon violence as long as it kept paying dividends.
00:02:08.260 Even Kimmel's brief firing for telling a malicious lie that threatened ABC's broadcast license
00:02:13.620 was more than they could tolerate.
00:02:15.300 For perspective, when an unknown addict overdosed while in police custody,
00:02:20.560 the left torched American cities for months.
00:02:23.340 In contrast, a prominent conservative was assassinated,
00:02:27.000 and the only cost extracted from the left was one failing talk show host
00:02:31.100 and some TikTok blabbermouths losing their jobs.
00:02:34.040 Even that tiny price triggered outrage.
00:02:37.680 When FCC Chair Brendan Carr flagged Kimmel's violation,
00:02:42.080 progressives shrieked about fascism and the end of free speech.
00:02:45.900 The irony was grotesque.
00:02:47.600 Kirk had just been killed for exercising his free speech.
00:02:51.140 Meanwhile, major Democrats piled on.
00:02:53.820 Ilhan Omar and AOC smeared Kirk's character before he was even buried.
00:02:58.600 Keith Olbermann threatened to kill CNN commentator Scott Jennings
00:03:02.660 before issuing some flimsy apology saying he didn't really mean it.
00:03:06.260 Left-wing influencers rushed to declare allegiance to Antifa,
00:03:09.280 a group with a long record of violence.
00:03:11.600 Whatever pretense of unity had existed collapsed in less than 24 hours.
00:03:16.580 Soon, threats flooded into ABC affiliates.
00:03:19.540 One man, a former teacher's union lawyer,
00:03:22.020 even sprayed bullets into a station window.
00:03:24.280 That was enough for Sinclair Media, ABC's largest affiliate group,
00:03:28.240 to pull a planned Kirk tribute and restore late-night programming.
00:03:32.300 ABC then confirmed that Kimmel himself would return to that time slot.
00:03:36.060 Calling all book lovers.

00:04:06.220 Sadly, there's really no other way to say this.
00:04:08.960 The terrorists won.
00:04:11.080 Now credit where it's due.
00:04:12.420 After another wave of pressure,
00:04:14.220 Sinclair and Nextstar, another major affiliate,
00:04:17.020 refused to air Kimmel until he apologizes.
00:04:19.540 Together, they represent about 70 of ABC's 250 affiliates,
00:04:24.060 including major markets like Washington, D.C., Seattle, and Portland.
00:04:28.020 That's significant, but it's not sufficient.
00:04:31.020 Reports indicate that Kimmel could have resolved the issue early
00:04:34.200 by simply apologizing, but he refused.
00:04:37.100 He bet that his Hollywood allies and violent extremists
00:04:40.080 would clear a path for his return.
00:04:42.060 And he was right.
00:04:43.340 Now, I didn't know this at the time when I was writing this piece,
00:04:46.500 but I could have predicted it entirely.
00:04:48.200 It turns out that right after Jimmy Kimmel went back on air,
00:04:51.800 we had another terrorist attack.
00:04:54.460 Another young, radicalized guy climbed onto a roof with a gun in Dallas, Texas,
00:04:59.540 and fired bullets into an ICE detention facility.
00:05:02.780 He intended to murder the ICE agents themselves,
00:05:05.500 but managed to fire into a blacked-out van
00:05:07.620 that happened to be holding a lot of detainees.
00:05:10.440 So he only ended up wounding and killing
00:05:12.640 the very people he thought he was coming to save.
00:05:15.340 He ended up shooting himself at the end.
00:05:17.020 Now, this is not one of those situations where the motive was super vague.
00:05:21.320 The killer wrote that he was anti-ICE
00:05:23.000 on the very ammunition he was firing at the agents.
00:05:26.080 A lot of left-wingers ran out there and said,
00:05:28.000 oh, conspiracy.
00:05:29.340 This is obviously a false flag.
00:05:31.680 Who would actually write their motive on a bullet?
00:05:34.200 He must actually be some right-winger that's faking this whole thing.
00:05:37.360 That's why he shot the detainees instead of the agents,
00:05:40.240 because actually he was really some MAGA supporter.
00:05:43.140 Same playbook, same exact playbook that Jimmy Kimmel put out.
00:05:47.820 These guys are running the Jimmy Kimmel playbook
00:05:49.580 because they know that it works.
00:05:51.140 Jimmy Kimmel taught them how to cover for the terrorists,
00:05:53.940 and they are following suit.
00:05:55.360 The entire left wing has learned now
00:05:57.180 that this is how you manufacture the narrative
00:05:59.200 before anything else happens,
00:06:00.600 so the left believes that it's actually secretly violent right-wingers
00:06:03.780 who are doing all of this.
00:06:05.060 Of course, they ignore the fact that there have been plenty of examples
00:06:08.220 of these radical leftist killers writing their intentions,
00:06:11.820 their entire manifestos, onto their weapons or their bullets.
00:06:15.080 Of course, we had the catch this fascist
00:06:17.480 that was written on the bullet that was shot at Charlie Kirk.
00:06:20.720 We had the trans shooter who killed multiple children 0.97
00:06:23.800 while they were praying at a Catholic school.
00:06:26.200 Remember, this was just a few weeks ago,
00:06:28.440 and they had written their motivation onto the weapon,
00:06:31.780 onto the magazine that was firing the bullets.
00:06:33.880 This is a well-established pattern.
00:06:35.760 This is the ritual that progressives go through
00:06:38.200 when they murder conservatives.
00:06:40.140 Yes, we now have conservatives murdered by leftists.
00:06:42.760 So often, there's actually a ritual that the leftists observe
00:06:46.960 when they're about to murder you.
00:06:49.120 And instead of acknowledging that fact,
00:06:50.980 guys like Jimmy Kimmel have turned this into something
00:06:53.200 that become a conspiracy theory
00:06:54.820 that can be spread throughout the internet.
00:06:56.360 So leftists believe that it's all right-wingers
00:06:58.440 who are actually doing the violence.
00:07:00.240 This is an insidious plan to destroy our understanding
00:07:03.940 of a shared morality in the United States,
00:07:06.300 a shared reality in the United States.
00:07:09.720 But why wouldn't they?
00:07:10.940 What cost have they paid?
00:07:12.400 What, Jimmy Kimmel got a three-day paid vacation?
00:07:15.160 Nothing.
00:07:15.780 It costs them nothing.
00:07:16.740 And he's back on the air, prepared to lie and cover again,
00:07:19.700 and the leftists feel nothing.
00:07:21.900 They don't feel bad about that.
00:07:22.940 They think it's a victory.
00:07:23.820 They think they defeated fascism
00:07:25.700 by putting a man on stage yet again
00:07:28.460 who will get more people killed through his lies
00:07:30.820 and has set a precedent that now all of his left-wing celebrity friends
00:07:34.140 will follow to make sure that they can cover
00:07:35.980 for leftist terrorism.
00:07:38.520 Every parent knows what happens
00:07:40.280 if you don't punish bad behavior.
00:07:42.500 It repeats and often escalates.
00:07:44.780 The same holds true in politics.
00:07:46.900 When the left sees it can assault conservative speakers,
00:07:49.880 burn cities, threaten opponents, 0.71
00:07:51.680 shoot presidents, assassinate leaders,
00:07:53.720 and face no serious consequence,
00:07:56.280 it learns the very obvious lesson.
00:07:58.680 The right, paralyzed by fear of bad press,
00:08:04.700 has given the left a free pass.
00:08:07.100 That timidity has only encouraged more bloodshed.
00:08:10.920 Now Trump has signed an executive order
00:08:12.760 declaring Antifa a terrorist organization.
00:08:15.480 J.D. Vance and Stephen Miller have pledged
00:08:17.440 to dismantle the network's funding leftist extremism.
00:08:20.780 That's overdue, but it is necessary.
00:08:23.540 If justice is not swift and severe,
00:08:26.620 the killings will continue.
00:08:27.820 Because the killers believe that they are entitled
00:08:30.180 to keep winning.
