Episode notes
Media Downplay Normalizes Political Violence
- The hosts link recent violent acts to a broader pattern of left-wing political rhetoric normalizing violence.
- They argue media and leftist institutions downplay or excuse Democrat-associated violence, inflaming political division.
Jay Jones' Murder Fantasy Texts
- Jay Jones sent 2022 texts saying he'd 'piss on' graves and fantasized about two bullets for Todd Gilbert and dictators.
- The texts were sent to Republican Carrie Coyner and later became public via National Review reporting.
Apology Framed As Political Defense

- Hosts say his statements shift blame and fail to genuinely own the violent rhetoric.
