Well, the governor of Utah just came out and basically contradicted everything. The far right and MAGA has been trying to pin on the left for something that we still don't really have a lot of information about when it comes to Charlie Kirk and the assassination. And they are trying to pin it on trans people. But we know by and large, trans people are just like you and me just trying to survive in this country. And ideally, living a happy and fulfilling life. That's the average experience of trans Americans and they, just like you and me, deserve life, liberty, and their pursuit of happiness. But that's not what Maga wants.

Mag is trying to say that we're the extremists. Or the extremists. Well, this woman here, Valentina, let's look at her name, Valentina Gomez, posted this video and you tell me who is the extremist. I've never seen someone on the left, do anything close to this. It's that simple. Public executions for any illegal that rapes or kills an American. They don't deserve deportation.

They deserve to be ended. How's that feel? That is insane. And they're trying to say we're the ones who incite violence. Now, there is extremism on both sides, for sure. But I'm going to show you some facts that show that the extremism and the violence is largely on one side. And it's not on the left. It's not on the left.

But that doesn't stop Fox News from trying to pin this on Democrats. And I'm going to tell you where I think this is going after the clip. It is a good point. I want to point something else out. You heard the family members say that this man became more political. This young man became more political in recent years. Well, what did he do in recent years? He went to college.

That's where kids are getting radical. It's not just online. Our campuses are where a lot of radicalization, hate, and intolerance starts from. And so when he says it's an attack on all of us, I'm going to say this. No, it's an attack on conservatives. It's an attack on Christians. He went to college, I think two years ago during COVID for a semester. Utah State University, I don't think, is a woke bastion of liberal life.

This is an attack on all of us, whether you want it to be or not, because we're all Americans. You want to divide us. I refuse to be divided. I refuse to be divided. And like I showed you, it seems like the only place hate violence and radicalization is happening is really on one end of the spectrum. Now, 98% of mass shooters are men. 57% are straight white men. Only 0.11% are trans.

of all the mass shooters. Can't even get 1%. It's such a small, small, meaningless amount of people. The real people we should be looking at are men and straight white men and trying to figure out what it is

that is leading them to behave this way. And they're trying to blame it on video games. They're trying to blame on video games. As you can see here, lots of deaths. This is America. These are violent gun deaths per thousand people up until or in 2017. Here's video game revenue per person in 2019. Now you'll see Japan has more video games. Or people playing video games, even South Korea. Third is USA. Why is it? They only have,

they have almost no gun deaths. Could it possibly be because they don't have guns? Seems to make sense to me. Now, the Republican governor of Utah has basically shattered the narrative happening on the right. And this is the responsible thing to do. Spencer Cox, you should learn that name. I have a prediction that this man will run for president. Well, some outlets are reporting that the suspect lived with a transgender partner. Is that accurate? And are investigators looking at this part of his life as a possible motivation? Yes, definitely. And yes, I can confirm that. I know that has been reported and that the FBI has confirmed that as well, that the roommate was a romantic partner, a male transitioning

to female. I can say that he has been very cooperative. This partner has been incredibly cooperative, had no idea that this was happening and is working with investigators right now. So a person transitioning to female who is cooperative and had no idea this was happening, yet still, members of the right wing of this country, are trying to pretend like it is this person who didn't even pull the trigger is somehow the force behind someone's death. It defies logic, to be completely honest. And here's just some facts. These are unfortunate facts for the right. As I said, murders do happen. Politically motivated murders happen on both sides of the aisle.

They're concentrated on one side. You see a lot of red here. And it's really just getting, it's not getting better. In fact, it's getting worse. So you should screenshot this because when people say, online when people on the right side line or your family members say this that well it's on both sides you can say yeah you're right it is on both sides but let's be accurate it's on the majority of one side and only one's hide ramps it up when this happened republicans Donald Trump so many other

people who are influencers online or politicians we're calling for war against people on the left and Democrats. When we didn't know anything about the killer, we didn't know anything about his background, the motive, when it's looking like it's a lot more complicated than anyone would have thought. And secondly, this is what the real violence is in America, politically motivated violence. And here is Elon Musk saying this. And then you see how much violence there's on the left with our friend, Charlie Cook, getting murdered and cold blood. Sweet. And people on the left, people on the left celebrating it openly. The left is the party of murder.

The left is the party. Do I have to pull this up again? Politically motivated left wing and right wing killers by decade. I'm seeing a lot more red there, Mr. Musk. And I just going to say, let us, can we just, I don't even want to say celebrate, but can we at least uplift a Republican who is saying the right thing? James Langford was on CNN this morning and actually said something responsible. Can you believe it?

Last week, just to follow up on what Stephen Miller is suggesting here, he said, quote, the Democratic Party is not a political party. It's a domestic extremist organization. Well, they have a very different view than I do. I'm a conservative Republican. I have Democratic friends that think very differently, vote very differently, but they're still my friend on it. So just having that ideology, just believing differently.

than some other American is not illegal. That's America. We don't all agree as next door neighbors on different things, but it is very different to try to plan, strategize, to be able to carry out an act of violence on it. That is different. So we do have a celebration of differences in America. Quite frankly, Charlie Kirk literally has on his banners when he speaks on college campuses, prove me wrong. And it would say, if you disagree with me, I'm going to seat you closer to the front so we can actually have dialogue. The goal of it is to be able to talk about. about things. As Charlie Kirk said often, when the words stop, the violence starts. That's when people say, no more words, I'm going to now attack you. Let's keep talking about things and keep

working through this. Yeah, well, I think that's a pretty good message. I mean, I know you're not going to like the fact that he quoted Charlie Kirk, who's a very complicated figure, but at least he's saying the thing that no other Republican is saying, which is one, the Democratic Party is not a domestic extremist organization. And two, that America It's all about celebrating our differences. I hope one day we can get to a place where we remember that. Thanks for watching.
