=== Tone Matters in Violence Discussions (14:44) ===

[00:00:00]  Keep reverting back to the system that makes them do it.
[00:00:03]  You want me to condemn every, you know, random person in America that feels sympathetic to a serial killer?
[00:00:10]  Yeah, I do.
[00:00:11]  Piers, I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt.
[00:00:13]  I'm sorry, Taylor.
[00:00:15]  We tried.
[00:00:15]  We tried to give you an out.
[00:00:18]  Well, prominent Republicans, including Ted Cruz and Elise Tefanik, have been quick to condemn an arson attack on Governor Josh Shapiro's residence, explicitly saying it doesn't matter if it was perpetrated by someone on the left or the right.
[00:00:31]  It was just wrong.
[00:00:33]  To mark contrast to the refusal of figures like Chuck Schumer to criticize the vandalism of Teslas by protesters angry about Elon Musk.
[00:00:42]  But nothing makes this point better than the perverse celebration of Luigi Mangioni, who could now face the death penalty for executing in cold blood United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
[00:00:53]  Well, journalist Taylor Lorenz is among those accused of trying to turn him into a modern-day Robin Hood type figure for his criticism of the U.S. healthcare system.
[00:01:01]  She's making a lot of headlines today for appearing to fangirl over Mangioni in a new CNN documentary.
[00:01:09]  You're going to see women especially that feel like, oh my God, right?
[00:01:12]  Like here's this man who's a revolutionary, who's famous, who's handsome, who's young, who's smart.
[00:01:20]  He's a person that seems like this morally good man, which is hard to find.
[00:01:30]  So does Taylor Lorenz really believe that Mangioni is a handsome revolutionary and a morally good person?
[00:01:36]  Well, let's find out.
[00:01:37]  I'm joined now by Taylor Lorenz, founder of Usermag on Substack, and Tommy Lehron, host of Tommy Lehren's Fearless on Outkick.
[00:01:45]  So Taylor, I've got to say, I watched this documentary that CNN put out and I watched the material involving you.
[00:01:53]  And I was pretty aghast at the tone that you took in relation to Luigi Mangioni, because as I pointed out on X, the guy is an effing cold-blooded killer, somebody who executed somebody who's a father of two, a business executive, and deserves nothing but public opprobrium and to be despised for what he did, notwithstanding any arguments about the current state of healthcare.
[00:02:21]  So here's your chance to explain why you seem to be swooning over the guy.
[00:02:28]  Well, I think you would have to, you know, take my comments completely out of context to say that I'm swooning over someone.
[00:02:36]  If you watch the full clip and not just the part that you showed, you would see that I'm talking about the women that are standing outside Luigi's jail, showing up at court.
[00:02:46]  I mean, unfortunately, Piers, I have bad news for you about America, which is that we have a culture that lionizes killers.
[00:02:52]  And, you know, we give them Netflix shows, right?
[00:02:54]  There's fangirls for Charles Manchin, Jeffrey Dahmer, countless murderers, school shooters receive fandom and fan mail.
[00:03:02]  Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who killed her mother, is a woman who received that.
[00:03:05]  So, you know, the idea that there are these cults of fandoms around killers is not something new in America.
[00:03:12]  And what I was describing in that clip is basically the projection that these women are sort of placing on him and how a lot of these women that do show up outside the court, you know, view him.
[00:03:23]  And actually what you might not hear me say, which is right, what I said right after that, which is that I do think that they're in for a rude awakening when Mangion starts actually talking, because I don't think he can live up to their fantasies.
[00:03:35]  And I think that once he starts opening his mouth and talking about his beliefs, I think we might realize he's not as moral, you know, of a person as we thought.
[00:03:44]  He might have completely, we don't know anything about his motivations, basically.
[00:03:47]  So, you know, that's why.
[00:03:50]  Right, but yeah, but Taylor, when I was watching this with you and Donnie O'Sullivan from CNN, I think he's an excellent reporter, but the tone that you were both adopting as you talked about this, I've got to say, it did not sit well with me.
[00:04:04]  It was all very lighthearted, very frivolous, very, wow, isn't this all a bit of fun?
[00:04:09]  Hey, these crazy girls are all swooning over Mangiona stuff.
[00:04:12]  You're talking about a cold-blooded executioner.
[00:04:16]  This is not somebody that should be viewed in a light-hearted way.
[00:04:20]  I mean, do you regret now the tone that that part of the interview was conducted in?
[00:04:25]  Well, listen, I mean, I think you can tone police all day long.
[00:04:29]  Donnie and I spoke for over an hour about this.
[00:04:32]  And what you're watching is a few seconds of a long conversation and frankly, a long special that everybody should watch.
[00:04:39]  I mean, I think what Doni produced on CNN is a fantastic look at extremism in America.
[00:04:45]  And Piers, you know, I would, again, urge you to look at American culture.
[00:04:50]  We are not a culture that, you know, treats serial killers or treats murderers or treats shooters the way that you are sort of speaking to it.
[00:05:00]  And I agree with you.
[00:05:01]  Should, you know, every conversation about Luigi be, you know, super serious because death is involved.
[00:05:07]  Sure, maybe we should have a little bit more of a serious tone in some instances, but I don't think that my tone was a huge problem in that clip.
[00:05:15]  Because again, what I'm doing is sort of describing the fandom, which again, as I said to you as well, I don't, that doesn't mean that I agree with these girls that are showing up outside for God knows how many reasons, just the way that I don't agree with a lot of women that would send Charles Manson, you know, love letters or selfies or whatever.
[00:05:33]  I don't think that obviously, you know, those two people had similar motivations for killing, but I'll just say again, we don't know why Luigi Mangion has not spoken.
[00:05:43]  And I think that's what's so important to note when we see what people are projecting.
[00:05:47]  So just as those women are projecting on Luigi, Piers, I would encourage you to actually listen to what I'm saying and not project.
[00:05:55]  Okay, but people will have heard you just now, literally like two minutes ago, call him Luigi, like he's some, you know, pop star.
[00:06:03]  He's not Luigi.
[00:06:04]  His name is cold-bloody Luigi.
[00:06:07]  What did you call it?
[00:06:08]  Hit him.
[00:06:11]  So you call executioners Luigi by their first name, like some pal, do you?
[00:06:15]  Gypsy Rose?
[00:06:16]  You don't think people call people Gypsy Rose Blanchard?
[00:06:19]  They call her Gypsy Rose.
[00:06:20]  Is that a problem?
[00:06:21]  How would you refer to these people?
[00:06:22]  How would you, what would you, what name would you call them?
[00:06:26]  I'd probably call him Mangioni when I'm talking about a bloke who's literally about to go to prison for the rest of his life for cold blood.
[00:06:33]  Okay, I will refer to him.
[00:06:36]  Let me bring Tommy in because Tommy's been pulling some exceptionally interesting facial expressions here.
[00:06:44]  Tommy, it just seemed to me the tone, I mean, listen, Taylor can talk about tone police all she likes.
[00:06:49]  The tone of what I watched was nauseating.
[00:06:53]  Hey, Mike Baker here, host of the President's Daily Brief podcast.
[00:06:57]  If you want straight talk on national security, foreign policy, and the biggest global stories going on of the day, this is the show for you.
[00:07:04]  We publish twice a day, Monday through Friday, once in the morning, again in the afternoon.
[00:07:08]  And on the weekend, we go longer with the PBB Situation Report with excellent guests, including national security insiders and foreign policy experts.
[00:07:16]  Check us out on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your podcast.
[00:07:20]  Also on our YouTube channel at President's Daily Brief.
[00:07:23]  How did you feel watching it?
[00:07:28]  Well, Piers, I have to go back to this very show.
[00:07:30]  I think it was, you know, a few months ago when we were on with Taylor and she said that she understood the joy that some people felt when this United Healthcare CEO was murdered in cold blood on a New York City street.
[00:07:42]  So I'm going back to that.
[00:07:44]  So I find it hard, unless Taylor has had this remarkable change of heart.
[00:07:48]  She was one of those fangirls, at least initially.
[00:07:50]  So if she has had a change of heart, I would really love to hear it.
[00:07:55]  Nope, Tony, that's not what I said.
[00:07:56]  What I said is that I felt joy that people like peers who have never had to deal with our barbaric healthcare system were finally waking up to the problem in America.
[00:08:05]  It does not bring me joy to see anybody doing shootings on the streets because as somebody that's covered gun violence extensively, I understand that this is, that's actually a very terrifying sign of a crumbling democracy if people just feel like the only way to get their voice heard is through shooting.
[00:08:23]  And I actually think that that's what Doni's CNN special does very well.
[00:08:26]  It unpacks the fact that so many people feel like violence is the only way to make rich people and people in power listen to them.
[00:08:34]  That's concerning.
[00:08:38]  The word joy was used to describe in any way a murder, that some people are joyous or that the fact that this conversation is being brought to the surface, people feel joy in that.
[00:08:49]  No, it was used to describe how the conversation is being had and it took somebody's death to bring it there.
[00:08:55]  But I would also say this when we're talking about.
[00:09:01]  Yeah.
[00:09:01]  And again, talking about privilege and talking about never having to experience a healthcare system, what I'm missing here, not just with Taylor, but with others that are fangirling or fanboying over Luigi Angioni is y'all realize, right, that this is a privileged kid.
[00:09:15]  This is not a kid that comes from the inner city.
[00:09:18]  He doesn't come from Appalachia living in a trailer home.
[00:09:21]  This is a privileged kid who murdered, by all accounts, a man who does come from humble beginnings, who was a husband and a father.
[00:09:29]  And it's so bizarre to me that the left is taking this tone.
[00:09:32]  And it's not just with this case, it's with so many.
[00:09:34]  It's like, if you agree with the end goal here, if you agree that the healthcare system is bad, or if you look at what happened in Frisco, Texas with Carmelo Anthony, who is accused of stabbing a 17-year-old at a track meet, they're like, oh, well, it was a white kid.
[00:09:48]  Oh, if you vandalize or firebomb a Tesla dealership, it's okay because we hate Elon.
[00:09:53]  There's always a but.
[00:09:54]  There's always an excuse.
[00:09:56]  And the same thing when President Trump has had two assassination attempts on his life, the left is like, oh, well, we don't like assassinations, but we understand it, but he's a Nazi.
[00:10:06]  Why is this the continued narrative from the left?
[00:10:09]  It's pretty twisted.
[00:10:12]  Well, Tommy, can I just say something?
[00:10:14]  I agree.
[00:10:14]  I agree that we're in a very scary time where I would argue on the left and the right, we're seeing increasingly violent rhetoric.
[00:10:22]  And that's actually exactly what Doni's entire CNN special is about.
[00:10:26]  It's about the fact that people on the left and right both feel that they cannot operate within the bounds of our democratic system to get change.
[00:10:35]  And so increasingly, you're seeing people, again, on both the left and the right turning to violence or advocating for violence.
[00:10:42]  And I think that that as anybody that cares about democracy should be concerned about that.
[00:10:46]  And instead of tone policing, they should try to understand the outrage that people feel.
[00:10:50]  I actually think the right has done a good job of speaking to people's outrage.
[00:10:54]  I think Donald Trump does a good job of harnessing people's outrage.
[00:10:57]  But I think that what we need to pay attention to is the outrage across the political system and say, hey, why are so many people standing killers?
[00:11:05]  Why is one of the biggest memes on the internet about assassinating the president?
[00:11:10]  Why don't we ask those questions and try to understand those things rather than having freak outs about these, the tone of a two-second CNN clip?
[00:11:20]  Yeah, but the reason, but hang on, hang on.
[00:11:22]  The reason the tone matters is because when you look like you're just going along with all this as a kind of fascinating cultural phenomenon of our day, hey, all these girls spooning over the handsome blah, It's actually nauseating.
[00:11:36]  Imagine being the family of that healthcare executive watching you and Donnie.
[00:11:42]  And again, I like Donny.
[00:11:43]  He's a good, he's a good journalist.
[00:11:44]  He's from Ireland.
[00:11:45]  He's like me.
[00:11:46]  We're Irish.
[00:11:48]  But I just didn't like the whole tone of it.
[00:11:49]  You know, Donnie replied at one stage to you, yeah, I just realized women will literally date an assassin before they swipe right on me.
[00:11:55]  That's where we are.
[00:11:56]  We're at.
[00:11:57]  And you both laughed.
[00:11:58]  What I didn't see, particularly from you, Taylor, was direct, unequivocal condemnation of this.
[00:12:06]  You kind of just went, yeah, isn't it?
[00:12:08]  This is weird, isn't it?
[00:12:09]  Rather than saying, isn't it disgusting that these women are viewing him in this light?
[00:12:14]  Isn't it?
[00:12:15]  Because it reminds me, it reminds me, well, hang on.
[00:12:17]  It reminds me of when we had the Boston Marathon bombing and you have the Zanayev brothers.
[00:12:22]  I was on air at CNN at the time, who were committing one of the most heinous acts of modern times in America.
[00:12:28]  And what was their reward for this?
[00:12:30]  Rather than everyone hating these people, it ended up with them being the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
[00:12:36]  It was quite extraordinary.
[00:12:38]  And then people again talking about, wow, aren't they good looking?
[00:12:41]  Aren't they charismatic?
[00:12:43]  Aren't they this?
[00:12:43]  Aren't they that?
[00:12:44]  No.
[00:12:45]  No, they are terrorists who bombed innocent people at a marathon.
[00:12:51]  And I feel the same way about this guy, Luigi Mangioni.
[00:12:54]  He's not a handsome, charismatic freedom fighter hero.
[00:13:00]  He's a disgusting human being who plotted and executed a cold-blooded execution of a father of two children.
[00:13:09]  That's what he is.
[00:13:10]  And what I didn't see from you, and you can call me the Tone Police all you like, but where was the condemnation of this hero worship?
[00:13:18]  It wasn't there.
[00:13:21]  I really encourage you to re-watch Donnie's entire special, Misinfo Nation on CNN, because I do.
[00:13:28]  I talk about you.
[00:13:28]  I talk about your bit.
[00:13:30]  Well, if you see, I'm actually in, I'm not just in that clip, I'm in other segments throughout the program.
[00:13:36]  And I will say once again, I just want to stress to people that I don't want to live in a country where the only way that people feel like they can be heard is through violence.
[00:13:46]  I think that's incredibly dangerous.
[00:13:47]  I do think people like you and others are dismissing a significant amount of institutional violence in the healthcare system, which is a problem.
[00:13:56]  But that doesn't mean that that's excusing, you know, people that take violence in their own hands to try to change the system.
[00:14:02]  I was, listen, I was three feet away from James Fields when he drove through the car and murdered Heather Heyer in Charlottesville.
[00:14:09]  That was horrifying to me.
[00:14:10]  People were glorifying him.
[00:14:11]  People were standing him.
[00:14:12]  Again, this is America.
[00:14:13]  This is not a new thing for us to glorify and stand serial killers.
[00:14:17]  It's just not.
[00:14:18]  And it's part of our culture.
[00:14:20]  And is it a good part of our culture?
[00:14:21]  No, it's probably not a great part of our culture.
[00:14:23]  But we need to look at the problem.
[00:14:25]  Probably not.
[00:14:26]  Wait, Sorry, sorry to put my tone police hat on again.
[00:14:31]  Oh, my God.
[00:14:32]  You said probably.
[00:14:34]  As if there's any doubt.
[00:14:37]  You go on about me being a tone police when you say things like, I think it's probably wrong to idolize serial killers and terrorist.

=== Unreserved Condemnation of Glorification (13:07) ===

[00:14:44]  Really?
[00:14:45]  Probably.
[00:14:45]  Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.
[00:14:51]  Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about.
[00:14:55]  The juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between.
[00:15:00]  It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show.
[00:15:04]  Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast.
[00:15:08]  Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
[00:15:15]  Well, yes, okay, please.
[00:15:18]  It's a bit of a rhetorical statement there, but let's just be clear.
[00:15:21]  No, we don't want to live in a world where serial killers and murderers are idolized above, you know, other people.
[00:15:27]  Why don't you just condemn it?
[00:15:29]  Condemn it unreservedly now.
[00:15:31]  Call out every single person that idolizes these killers right now.
[00:15:36]  Just say I unreservedly condemn it.
[00:15:40]  As I've said so many times, I unreservedly condemn the system that we've built where people feel like they have to idolize people that commit violence outside the system because they feel like that's the only thing.
[00:15:55]  You condemn the system, but you won't condemn the people doing the idolizing.
[00:16:00]  The people doing the idolizing, you mean these random people that show up outside of his court?
[00:16:06]  What do you mean?
[00:16:07]  I don't know.
[00:16:08]  Condemn it.
[00:16:09]  Why is it so hard for you to condemn this and to say it's disgusting?
[00:16:14]  It's appalling.
[00:16:15]  Let me just say, let me just say over and over again.
[00:16:18]  I have said so many times on this show that I don't believe people should be walking around shooting people in the street.
[00:16:24]  I think this is a very dangerous time.
[00:16:26]  I think that we are seeing.
[00:16:27]  I'm talking about the people that hero worship these killers.
[00:16:30]  So can you just for the record condemn it?
[00:16:33]  Let me ask you a question, Pay.
[00:16:34]  That's disgusting.
[00:16:35]  The people that hero.
[00:16:36]  You keep reverting back to the system that makes them do it.
[00:16:40]  But just condemn them.
[00:16:42]  Just say they're all disgusting.
[00:16:44]  You want me to condemn every random person in America that feels sympathetic to a serial killer?
[00:16:51]  I just think it's a completely unproductive argument.
[00:16:54]  You saw obsessed with me repeating a very specific language and phrase to the point that you're dismissing everything that I'm saying, which I do think, Piers, that we can agree that neither of us wants to live in a country that the only language that is spoken is violence.
[00:17:11]  And I think, again, I would encourage you to condemn the violence that we're seeing from our healthcare system that we're seeing these executives perpetuate.
[00:17:21]  You don't condemn that.
[00:17:22]  You don't chastise that.
[00:17:23]  That's not what you're out about.
[00:17:24]  You're not having programs to do that.
[00:17:29]  Actually, that's total bullshit.
[00:17:30]  I've criticized your healthcare system many, many, many times because I come from a country with a much superior healthcare system, where if you fell over in the street in London and broke a leg, you would get free healthcare, world-class healthcare systems.
[00:17:43]  And sent back on your plane in a nice sleep.
[00:17:47]  So you're wrong here.
[00:17:50]  Hang on, I'm bringing Tommy in now.
[00:17:52]  So Tommy, it's very interesting to me because Taylor doing her usual thing.
[00:17:56]  She calls this killer Luigi, like their best buddies.
[00:18:00]  She smiles her way through a lot of what she's smiling now as if this is all most entertaining.
[00:18:05]  And she cannot condemn the people who hero worship.
[00:18:09]  Hang on, your name's not Tommy.
[00:18:11]  She cannot condemn the people who do all this hero worshiping because they're all apparently victims of a system.
[00:18:16]  They can't help themselves.
[00:18:18]  It's perfectly normal to watch video footage of somebody executing someone in the middle of Manhattan and deduce that they're charming, handsome heroes and freedom fighters.
[00:18:30]  Do you have a problem, Tommy Lehron, in calling these people what they are?
[00:18:36]  No, not at all.
[00:18:37]  And, you know, I actually get kind of sick of those, I believe, on the left.
[00:18:41]  Taylor, I don't know if you're necessarily on the left.
[00:18:43]  You're certainly not on the right, but saying, oh, it's a problem with the left and the right.
[00:18:46]  Yeah, certainly there's violence of those on the right.
[00:18:49]  I'm not going to deny that, but it's the ability of those of us on the right with a platform.
[00:18:54]  We are able to say that's wrong, that's wrong.
[00:18:56]  That person's gross.
[00:18:57]  That person's sick.
[00:18:58]  That person's a racist.
[00:18:59]  That's disgusting.
[00:19:00]  I have no problem doing it.
[00:19:01]  And I don't go, but, you know, well, but this.
[00:19:03]  Oh, but, you know, I don't say above that.
[00:19:06]  Anybody that's going to do that.
[00:19:10]  Please do your research.
[00:19:11]  I thought you were journalists.
[00:19:12]  I spoke out about January 6th on January 6th multiple times.
[00:19:16]  So don't come at me with that energy unless you've done your research on me.
[00:19:19]  If you want to cling to January 6th, you can do that all day long.
[00:19:22]  I condemned it on January 6th and I've condemned it many, many, many times after that.
[00:19:26]  Okay.
[00:19:26]  So don't start with me on the one bad day for so-called conservatives.
[00:19:30]  Don't come at me with that.
[00:19:31]  But I have no problem talking about the racist, the awful, disgusting people that do things that they believe are in the name of conservatism.
[00:19:38]  I have no problem.
[00:19:39]  And I don't have to be like, well, but the system.
[00:19:42]  No, it's just wrong, just in general.
[00:19:44]  I don't like the 2020 election, but I can say that the people that showed up there and did anything nefarious, I can say that that's wrong and that's bad.
[00:19:51]  Don't do it.
[00:19:52]  I have no problem with that.
[00:19:53]  But you have spent more time talking about the system and how bad it is than talking about the people who are murdering people.
[00:20:00]  Why are you unable to give it that same energy?
[00:20:02]  As I think the question Piers and I both have for you.
[00:20:06]  The healthcare executives that are murdering people?
[00:20:08]  The healthcare?
[00:20:09]  Yes.
[00:20:11]  The healthcare executives, you might not like the system, but Brian Thompson didn't go out and murder anybody.
[00:20:16]  So once again, she's Piers.
[00:20:18]  She's justifying it again.
[00:20:20]  She sits there and says, I believe for PR purposes, I'm not justifying it.
[00:20:24]  But then like out of the side of her mouth, she's like, but watch me justify it.
[00:20:29]  So Tommy, do you believe then that if Brian Thompson is responsible for murder, that that's justified?
[00:20:37]  Brian Thompson might be a part of an industry or was a part of an industry before he was executed that you don't like.
[00:20:43]  There are a lot of industries in the United States that I don't like.
[00:20:46]  A lot of companies I don't like.
[00:20:47]  It's a murderous industry.
[00:20:49]  It's an industry that murders people.
[00:20:50]  It's an industry that murders people.
[00:20:52]  So I just want to be clear.
[00:20:53]  And I think this is the discussion that needs to be had and that everybody is having is that how complicit is somebody that works in a murderous system?
[00:21:00]  If you run a baby killing factory and, you know, you get shot, somebody kills you to stop the baby killing factory.
[00:21:07]  Is that a moral act?
[00:21:08]  That's what people are debating right now.
[00:21:10]  A lot of people.
[00:21:10]  Wait, Taylor, Taylor.
[00:21:12]  I don't think you want to go.
[00:21:12]  I don't think you want to go there.
[00:21:14]  I don't think you want to go there.
[00:21:15]  I would assume that.
[00:21:17]  Yeah.
[00:21:17]  Tommy.
[00:21:18]  Piers, I wanted to ask her.
[00:21:19]  I don't know her feelings on abortion, but if you're going to go down that route, I mean, there are a lot of people who don't like Planned Parenthood.
[00:21:27]  I think that you and I would probably agree that going in and murdering somebody that worked for Planned Parenthood would be wrong, right?
[00:21:33]  Because you just said, oh, well, if someone was doing this, you should stop them.
[00:21:36]  What are you talking about?
[00:21:38]  So that's exactly what I'm talking about.
[00:21:40]  That's exactly what I'm talking about.
[00:21:41]  These belief systems where people feel like murder is justified because of their belief system, right?
[00:21:47]  Because of their situation or their whatever, because they feel like they can't work within the system to get change or they can't change things and fix the system through democratic means is a problem.
[00:21:56]  And I think Doni, on his special, which I encourage everybody to watch, he does a very good job of talking about extremism on the right, which is pervasive and on the left and how basically people across the political spectrum have lost faith in the system and are turning to violence.
[00:22:13]  And I'll say it again.
[00:22:14]  One of the biggest things.
[00:22:19]  Let me ask you, Taylor.
[00:22:20]  You're not even talking about that.
[00:22:21]  All right.
[00:22:22]  All right, Taylor, Taylor, Chuck Schumer couldn't bring himself to condemn the attacks on Tesla in terms of Tesla fall courts and Tesla drivers and so on.
[00:22:31]  Would you unreservedly condemn all the attacks on Tesla?
[00:22:36]  Was I just on this?
[00:22:37]  I think I was just on this program literally like a week ago talking about this topic.
[00:22:42]  I don't think vandalizing a car is equivalent to taking a human life.
[00:22:47]  Has anybody been murdered in pursuit of the money?
[00:22:49]  I just asked you if you condemn the violence against Tesla.
[00:22:52]  Well, I guess if somebody was to murder a Tesla owner, yeah, I would condemn that.
[00:22:57]  I think that's terrible.
[00:22:59]  So it's only murder you care about.
[00:23:01]  You don't care about any other crimes.
[00:23:03]  Awesome vandalism.
[00:23:06]  No, I didn't say that.
[00:23:09]  I literally didn't say that.
[00:23:12]  So do you condemn the arson?
[00:23:14]  Do you condemn the arson attacks on Tesla?
[00:23:16]  Yes, I'm not.
[00:23:17]  Ridiculous.
[00:23:18]  Do I condemn what?
[00:23:20]  Do I condemn the harshness?
[00:23:22]  Because these are just absurd questions.
[00:23:26]  I was literally just on this.
[00:23:27]  Tesla has literally been subjected.
[00:23:29]  Tesla has been subjected to a load of arson attacks.
[00:23:32]  Chuck Schumer couldn't bring himself to condemn it.
[00:23:35]  Will you condemn the arson attacks on Tesla?
[00:23:38]  Yes or no?
[00:23:39]  Let me explain.
[00:23:40]  Let me explain why people are turning to those.
[00:23:42]  These means the reason people are attacking Tesla.
[00:23:45]  You can't do it, can you?
[00:23:47]  You can't do that.
[00:23:48]  Yeah, I don't think you should.
[00:23:49]  I don't think you should.
[00:23:50]  It's actually fascinating.
[00:23:52]  Literally, I'm, what do you want me to say?
[00:23:53]  Pierre's successful exact language.
[00:23:56]  I don't condemn people going out.
[00:23:58]  Let me ask you this.
[00:23:59]  Let me ask you this.
[00:24:00]  Let me ask you this then.
[00:24:01]  Do you condemn the arson attack on Governor Josh Shapiro's residence?
[00:24:05]  Yes or no?
[00:24:07]  Well, of course.
[00:24:08]  Of course, I don't think people should arson attack.
[00:24:11]  Of course, because he's a Democrat governor.
[00:24:14]  Now you can find it in yourself.
[00:24:16]  Josh Shapiro because it involves an attack on a Democrat.
[00:24:21]  But when it's an arson attack on Tesla IVs, they could have killed people.
[00:24:26]  You don't care.
[00:24:27]  It's the system.
[00:24:28]  And by the way, you understand why people don't like Elon Musk.
[00:24:31]  You've literally exposed yourself in the most priceless manner imaginable.
[00:24:36]  Josh Shapiro is a human being.
[00:24:38]  Teslas are cars.
[00:24:40]  By the way, again, you are ignoring the fact that one of the biggest things that are happening is that they are not going to be human beings working at the areas where they got arson attacked.
[00:24:48]  Pardon?
[00:24:50]  Yeah, the truth is, the truth is you make a political calculation about what you condemn and what you don't condemn.
[00:24:56]  That's the truth.
[00:24:59]  I don't know.
[00:24:59]  You're obsessed with this condemnation thing.
[00:25:02]  I'm trying to get you to understand why people are turning to violence.
[00:25:05]  I really am.
[00:25:06]  I really am.
[00:25:08]  Then try to understand this, Piers.
[00:25:09]  The reason that people are firebombing Teslas or whatever they're doing is because they feel like Elon Musk has been sort of taken over parts of the government as an unelected billionaire, and they feel that there is no recourse within the city.
[00:25:22]  Are you justifying it again?
[00:25:24]  No, I'm trying to explain to you why this is happening, which is essential if we want to stop violence.
[00:25:29]  If we want to have a lesson of the world.
[00:25:31]  Why do you think Governor Shapiro's Shiro's residence was firebombed?
[00:25:37]  Do you think there may be some reason why the person did it, which can explain it, which means you don't have to condemn it?
[00:25:43]  No, you just immediately condemned it without knowing any of the motivation for why that person did it.
[00:25:49]  If you want fewer firebombs at people's residences and you want fewer assassination attempts in America and you want less gun violence, you need to understand why people are feeling the way they do and why they're taking the actions that they do.
[00:26:02]  We're in again, Dhoni's special on CNN, Misinfo Nation, does an excellent job of breaking down extremism and helping people across the political spectrum feel disenfranchised and are turning to violence.
[00:26:14]  So I encourage everyone to watch Doni's special misinformation on CNN.
[00:26:17]  It's a great thing.
[00:26:18]  And please don't say that I support the Democrats, okay?
[00:26:21]  You know that that's not true and it's just absurd.
[00:26:25]  I didn't say that.
[00:26:26]  I said the moment it was a Democrat that came under attack, you immediately condemned it, but you couldn't condemn firebombing at all.
[00:26:33]  You have to condemn the drooling women who fawn all over a killer because you think there may be something to do with the healthcare system.
[00:26:45]  If someone's firebombing their houses, if somebody is firebombing with the colours of the city, Tommy, it's crystal clear to me that from every from everyone who watches this, that Taylor's condemnation is a very movable feast and it depends entirely on the politics behind what she perceives to be the attack and why it's happened or the drooling.
[00:27:09]  Piers, I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt because I don't like it when things are taken out of context.
[00:27:14]  It's happened to me before and I think everyone should get a chance to explain themselves.
[00:27:19]  And I think we've been listening to the explanation for 30 minutes and it might be worse than the initial clip.
[00:27:24]  So I'm sorry, Taylor.
[00:27:26]  We tried.
[00:27:27]  We tried to give you an out.
[00:27:28]  You didn't take it.
[00:27:29]  So God bless you.
[00:27:32]  When more violence, well, first of all, I'm a huge supporter of free speech, and I hope that you guys can get it through your heads that when more violence happens, I tried to warn you.
[00:27:40]  So I do have to hop and get to another TV appearance, but thank you for having me on and stay safe out there.
[00:27:47]  Thank you very much, Taylor, and thank you, Tommy.
