Charlie Kirk reports on what he describes as the escalating threat of left-wing political violence and assassination culture in America, following recent attempts on President Trump’s life and reflecting on his own concerns about political violence that he had expressed years before his death. According to Kirk’s investigation, there have been three known assassination attempts against President Trump in the last two years, including the most recent Austin Martin case at Mar-a-Lago where the alleged attacker was killed. Kirk states that the suspect was reportedly “jinned up on conspiracy theories, frustration, whatever, locked inside an ideological echo chamber on social media.” The investigation reveals disturbing polling data showing that 30 percent of liberals aged 18-39 believe violence is justified to achieve political goals, with even higher percentages supporting violence against specific conservative figures. Kirk reports that “almost 50% would suggest the same thing for Elon Musk and over 50%, 55% would say the same for President Trump.” The report examines how mainstream publications like The Atlantic are allegedly contributing to this dangerous rhetoric. Kirk notes that a recent Atlantic article used “the word Nazi in this article at least 15 times” when discussing Republicans. According to Kirk, “The entire point is to throw it all into tumult” through inflammatory rhetoric that he believes deliberately incites violence. The investigation highlights a dramatic increase in violence against law enforcement, with Kirk reporting that “Since 2025, assaults on ICE officers have skyrocketed 1,800% overall with vehicular attacks up 3,200%.” Kirk describes incidents including “attempted murders and protests turning violent” and references a gunman who “shot up an ICE facility and kill uh multiple detainees, but he wanted to kill ICE officers.” Kirk’s report details how political violence has shifted from fringe activity to mainstream discourse, citing the case of Tyler Robinson, who allegedly killed Charlie Kirk and “cited Charlie’s quote unquote hate as his motive.” Kirk states that Robinson had said “some hate you just can’t be negotiated out.” The investigation also examines the broader celebration of political violence on social media, where Kirk reports that the 2024 assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson “has been celebrated by segments of the far left as heroic resistance,” with “Hashtags like free Luigi have gained traction with over 50,000 posts.” Kirk warns about the chilling effect this violence has on free speech and democratic discourse. He states that “numbers of the Trump administration living in military bases in and around DC because they are no longer safe to live in a normal home.” According to Kirk, this represents “the assassin’s veto” that threatens to “unravel the fabric of democracy, replacing ballots with bullets and dialogue with division.” The report emphasizes that this is not merely rhetoric but has real-world consequences, with Kirk noting “We’re getting death threats every single day here on the Charlie Kirk show.” He argues that publications and political figures who use extreme rhetoric bear responsibility for inciting violence, stating that it constitutes “Stochastic terrorism” - rhetoric that “drives unwell people over the edge so that they’re going to go grab a gun and try to shoot someone.”

the rise of assassination culture and we just we have to we have to do it. We have to address it. So, let’s get right into it. Uh 368. » I don’t know how long I’ll be around. Got a lot of people gunning for me, don’t I? But I will I will not forget them. I’m never going to forget them. » I saw that clip uh actually not until this morning, Blake. Um I actually watched it last night. Didn’t log it. saw it this morning and it broke my heart actually. And of course, he was referencing what happened at Mara Lago uh with the Austin Martin case where he was killed uh apparently trying to assassinate the president, jinned up on conspiracy theories, frustration, whatever, locked inside an ideological echo chamber on social media. And that is the third known assassination attempt against President Trump in the last two years. And of course, that strikes the heart of this show, the show that bears the name Charlie Kirk, who we lost to an assassin’s bullet in September. And we have a huge problem. And Charlie knew that we had a huge problem. And it only is getting worse by the day. The rhetoric from the left, the dehumanizing rhetoric from the left is only getting worse. And we’re going to explain that in just a second. But I want to play a couple clips here of Charlie himself acknowledging the rise of left-wing political violence in America. This is back in 2020. Charlie raising this issue then 389. This is going to get really nasty. Everyone listen to this. I just hope you understand. Think of the nastiest moment in 2016. They are not going to let this guy get reelected without the most brutal drawn out fight. We’re going to have the tech companies getting involved. The media is going to get worse than ever. They’re going to be taking down Twitter accounts left and right. They’re going to be taking out videos on YouTube. They are going to be coming after us. They are going to be following us in the middle of the night. They’re going to be breaking into our houses. You think I’m joking. They are going violent. That you will not be able to walk the streets of the MAGA hat without your your physical health be put in jeopardy. And I hope it doesn’t get that way. I hope that this clip gets unearthed and everything’s like wonderful. I hope that the country comes together and we have a beautiful unitarian healing moment in September. And that’s 2020 Blake many years ago. And he saw it then and then this clip. We We have to play. We have it loaded up now. 379. My fear, Senator, and I hope I’m wrong and let’s say stay in prayer that I’m wrong, that someone is going to get shot the same way that Steve Scaliz got shot and god forbid killed. The left is creating a pressure cooker with so many of their rank and file paramilitary troops that very well might result in one of us getting shot or killed. God forbid that happens. We’re getting death threats every single day here on the Charlie Kirk show. Such a haunting clip, Blake. And I there’s more like it. I think I think we we continue to find as we go through the archives more times Charlie would talk about that uh and it always hits me because I I remember not taking it as seriously. I would always I would reassure Charlie people people don’t for the most part don’t do that. Uh and he he was right to worry I was I was the idiot. And one reason we’re talking about this is not just because of what the president said, but there’s endless cases of them of of the left deliberately people who should know better constantly amping up low-level actors, the mentally imbalanced, the mentally unwell, the people who are they’re more likely to get tipped over the edge. And so I was just absolutely set off yesterday. There was an article in the Atlantic magazine for those of you who don’t read it. The Atlantic is up there with the New York Times as a prestige outlet of what you would call the mainstream left opinion uh getting published there. Yeah. It’s it’s like being on the front page of the New York Times. It’s it’s more prestigious than the Washington Post. It’s like the Wall Street Journal. And one of their editors, Tom Nichols, they they slid out this article yesterday and it is the Republican party has a Nazi problem. Uh let’s see how many times they use the word Nazi in that article. They use the word Nazi in this article at least 15 times. Uh, and it just repeatedly says, it just says the Republicans have a Nazi problem. This means the United States has a Nazi problem. The responsibility for defeating it is in the 21st century falls to everyone who still believes in the American idea. Just repeatedly saying Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi about the right. And as I said online last night, it’s very clear what’s going on here. We had a deranged leftist who’s in court today. We’re monitoring that, Tyler Robinson. He murdered Charlie because he was whipped up by this rhetoric of Nazis, this rhetoric of genocide. We’ve had a gunman shoot up an ICE facility and kill uh multiple detainees, but he wanted to kill ICE officers. We have these insurgents essentially in Minneapolis constantly getting in the face of ICE agents who end up getting shot themselves, but very well this could end in ICE agents being shot. The entire point is to throw it all into tumult. We have multiple transgender radicals and of course we’ve had four attempted assassin or three attempted assassinations of the president that have ended in someone being shot. And I just can’t. It feels deliberate to me that when Tom Nichols goes out here and just writes Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, it is the line the left used in the past. Stochastic terrorism. It is the rhetoric that drives unwell people over the edge so that they’re going to go grab a gun and try to shoot someone because they’re nuts and they take this stuff literally. Yeah. Well said. And you know, remember Tyler Robinson said that some hate you just can’t be negotiated out in reference to Charlie. And um you know, I I think I think we’re not done addressing this this issue. We’re going to continue talking about it in the next segment. And um just again, I can’t underscore enough how much that clip from President Trump just broke my heart watching it. And I think it’s specifically because of our proximity to Charlie that it hit so hard. These days, the online world moves fast. That’s why Tik Tok approaches teen safety with families in mind from the start. On Tik Tok, teens get over 50 built-in protections right when they join. Accounts for teens start private by default. For those under 16, direct messages are turned off, and only friends can comment on their videos. That proactive approach means parents don’t have to dig through menus or set up everything themselves. Safety is built in from day one, so peace of mind is already part of the experience. When safety comes first, discovery and creativity can follow. Learn more at tik tock.com/guardians guide. Two assassins would be assassins dead. One the in jail for life. And you this venom coming from the other side. We we don’t know whether this person was a mastermind unhinged or what, but they are normalizing this vi violence. It’s got to stop. That’s Scott Besson and he’s absolutely 100% right. He himself has been targeted by political violence. You don’t hear as much about it, but uh I happen to know I think it’s been reported somewhere. But listen, in recent years, political violence has become increasingly normalized, shifting from a fringe extremist kind of movement to mainstream discourse. And you don’t have to take my word for it. Just go on Tik Tok. Just go on Tik Tok. You’ll see videos celebrating the targeting of ICE officers all over the place. You’ll see them celebrating going after top Trump administration officials. It’s assassination culture and it glorifies targeted killings as acts of justice against perceived oppressors which you could just insert MAGA or conservatives and it’s fueled by social media in these echo chambers. Manioni his 2024 assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson has been celebrated by segments of the far left as heroic resistance. Hashtags like free Luigi have gained traction with over 50,000 posts and they call him a hero. The idolization risks massive amounts of copycat killers. You just look at this graph. This graph is, we’ve brought it up before and it’s so important. Look at image 31. This was taken, this poll was taken in the immediate aftermath of Charlie’s assassination. And the question was posed, is it ever justified for citizens to resort to violence in order to achieve political goals? This is the percent responding yes. In the 18 to39 group of liberals, 30% said yes, violence was justified. We have other polls that say almost 50% would suggest the same thing for Elon Musk and over 50%, 55% would say the same for President Trump. There it is. That’s that graphic that they think it would be justified to kill those men to achieve a political end. Since 2025, assaults on ICE officers have skyrocketed 1,800% overall with vehicular attacks up 3,200%. Blake mentioned before that a a gunman shot up an ICE facility, didn’t kill any ICE officers, but he killed a few detainees. Incidents include attempted murders and protests turning violent. Charlie’s assassination by Tyler Robinson, who cited Charlie’s quote unquote hate as his motive exemplifies far-left inspired violence. Post assassination, some online reactions celebrated it. Gross, vile, disgusting online celebrations, mirroring Manion’s fandom and fueling lawsuits over free speech crackdowns. Charlie was assassinated for speaking his mind in the public public square. And what is the point? The point is they want to strike at the heart of free expression and free speech, open discourse. They want to silence conservative voices. It’s a terrifying escalation and normalization of political violence and assassination culture. This is why we watch it so closely. This is why we’re going to have our eyes on the Tyler Robinson case this afternoon in just a little bit. Yeah. » What does this do? It chills dissent. It heightens threats to public officials. You have numbers of the Trump administration living in military bases in and around DC because they are no longer safe to live in a normal home. If unchecked, this legitimately could unravel the fabric of democracy, replacing ballots with bullets and dialogue with division, pushing America toward a fractured future where voices are silenced not by v votes but by violence. This is much worse than the heckler’s veto. This is the assassin’s veto and it must stop. We have to get to root causes. And when you see articles like this from The Atlantic, which is a complete joke, which is an intentional provocation, as Blake said earlier, inviting crazy people to take shots at conservatives by calling them all Nazis. The problem is only going to get worse. It’s not going to get better. » This is not a prestige publication. This is a joke of a publication that wants conservatives dead. » No, I think I got to push back at you on that one, Andrew. That’s the problem. It is not a It’s not a joke publication. First, he’s not joking. And second, it it really is, despite whatever we’d say, is a prestige outlet. Over a million subscribers. They’re they are one of those very rare bastions that still has a huge amount of the » prestige, dity, whatever you want from half a century ago. And that is exactly why it’s it’s so dangerous. It’s one thing if these insane things get written in, I don’t know, someone’s blog if it’s on a Substack post. This is one of the rare publications that can blast out an insane take to millions of people and launder it as a legitimate one. And the stuff he says in the article is is just so over the top. It just » we should highlight some of these. » The throw up 386. The Department of Homeland Security used an anthem beloved by neo-Nazi groups. By God, we’ll have our home again. In a recruitment ad, the Labor Department hung a banner of Donald Trump’s face from its headquarters as if Washington were Berlin in 1936. It posted expressions on social media such as America is for Americans. An obvious riff on the Nazi slogan, Germany. How about sense? » Yes, it’s just common sense. It’s a repeated it’s a repeatedly overriding thing in all of these hysterical takes that like they just kind of » they BS you whatever you want to say about what you can tell your base. It’s obviously not insane to say America should look out for Americans. America should be for Americans. So they have to like just say well it’s a Nazi slogan. It’s a Nazi slogan to say that. You don’t want to be a Nazi do you? And then in the article, he’s he like has to cover for the fact that they’ve he’s like, “Well, yeah, the left, you know, we used to we’ve lionized Angela Davis, a college professor who helped murder a judge. Uh, you know, we we all partied with Bill Ays, a terrorist who mailed bombs to the military and to Congress. But like, you know, that that’s different. You know, our terrorism, » I think he gives up the the real story here in 385. this image. Critics of the GOP have long argued, they’ve long argued something like the Trump movement and the emergence of a new American Nazism was inevitable that conservatism as a belief system inevitably decays into fascism. So this is their core ideology. And this is why you see these unhinged reactions across the Atlantic, by the way, to the rise of conservative populist movements like MAGA because they believe that it’s a runaway train that they must stop by not just punching a Nazi, by killing a Nazi. And and make no mistake, that is the through line that if force was justified to take out Hitler and the Third Reich in Germany, well then force is justified to kill conservatives here because it inevitably decays into fascism. This is their their fear. They stay up at night thinking that all of you watching this right now are Nazis, that I’m a Nazi, that we’re all fascists, and so why not just take out a gun and shoot one of us? They’ve done it before, and they’re going to do it again. I pray for this country.
