I mean right now, people are focused on the attacks on ice because that's directly in front of us.
Just a few months ago, Tesla stores were being set on fire, were being shot up.
Like people have forgotten that.
Particularly in Portland, there was the Tesla store in Portland one had been shot up several times.
And to this day, I don't believe the Portland police have arrested a suspect in the Portland incident.
Um a Tesla store in Salem, Oregon was fired upon and set on fire.
The suspect apprehended in that, and I was the first to report this, because the legacy media would not.
It's that suspect's transgender.
It was part of this radical, uh trans militia type of group.
The left is becoming so radicalized and there's they're supported by such large um mainstream institutions and cultures that people have really normalized that violence and they're okay with it.
And and that was really the thesis of my book that came out now four years ago en masse that this violence on the left is being mainstream and it's going to have deadly consequences.
So tell me about this, okay?
This how is it that it's being normalized?
You know, the you're you're said you're talking about the media being involved, but the legacy media, but there's more to it than that.
What how uh what what is it that people are trying to wash their hands of?
What is that whole thing?
You can see some prominent examples of how it's been normalized and mainstream for several years now, but I'll name some clear examples.
After the assassination of the United Healthcare CEO, that act of murder was celebrated by the left.
Widely celebrated, and individuals online began dispersing wanted style flyers of other CEOs.
And when a suspect was apprehended, Luigi Mangioni, he's been made into a hero, a celebrity.
At all his court hearings in New York City, people show up to cheer him on outside the courthouse when recently the terrorism charges were dismissed at the state level.
People had a dance party outside.
That really reminded me of something that I remember in 2020 in Portland.
As the riots went on by the middle of August, a Trump supporter named Aaron Danielson was assassinated in downtown Portland by a man named Michael Rhino.
And he had a manifesto that was posted on Instagram, the gunman.
And in it, these this was the quote that was in it.
I am 100% Antifa.
And Michael acted as this volunteer armed security for the rioters in downtown.
He fled out of state after murdering Aaron Danielson.
Remember that night that Mr. Danielson was killed and his body laid in the street, about a couple streets away in front of the Justice Center, which was really the gathering area for the rioters every night.
It was announced on a bullhorn.
The victim was described as trash being taken out in a Nazi.
And then they cheered and they held a dance party.
There was no condemnation of that at all by anybody in Portland.
That cruel act of celebrating a really senseless murder in downtown.
And Aaron Danielson was just a private individual.
He wasn't a big-time activist or anything.
So his death was really quite overlooked for all these years.
But he is just one victim of many of far-left extremists.
And in their aftermath of Mr. Cook's assassination, that same type of celebration broke out on not just the radical left, you expect that out of them.
The far left, you expect they're extreme, the radicalized.
