It's not hiding, it's in video. The exact quote is "he was probably a nice guy, to some people, in public." We explicitly say there were "two public versions" of him. We start describing one version so that viewers who knew that version would be more open to hearing about the other, actual version.

I mentioned that in our podcast yesterday, and in the video in question I pointed out that Kirk's death was in part a result of the political climate he helped create and foster.

I just very plainly explained to you the intention and meaning behind the actual quote, which included the clause "if you think gun violence in this country is a tragedy." Clunky maybe, but there's no "bit" to buy. You are simply choosing to ignore the words and explanation for no reason.

Perhaps we weren't explicit enough, but I think people are conflating what we called the tragedy of gun violence in America with Kirk being dead. Nowhere did we say that anyone had to feel bad about his death or him being dead and in fact I thought we explained why people might feel good about it.

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forcesβ€”from any state or DCβ€”to Oregon.

The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.

My stance is that you are not going to get me to use my platform to endorse or encourage my audience to murder.

You and many others seem to be interpreting "it's bad that he died like that" as "you should feel bad that he's dead", even though those are two different thoughts and we didn't say the second one.

If your takeaway was that we wanted you to "feel bad that he's dead", then respectfully I don't think you watched it closely enough.

This is about the violent political assassination, not about you being glad he's dead.

That's the definition of fascism from Robert Paxton, one of the preeminent historians of the subject, from his book ANATOMY OF FASCISM which came out more than two decades ago.

A post on X by Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan
) expresses frustration, asking how anyone can read a definition of fascism and not be alarmed, emphasizing that it is happening now. The post includes a quote from Cody Johnston (@drmistercody
) from one day ago, defining fascism as a form of political behavior marked by an obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood, and compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity. The definition describes a mass-based party of nationalist militants working with traditional elites, abandoning democratic liberties, and pursuing redemptive violence for internal cleansing and external expansion without ethical or legal restraints.

Oh yes, this is clearly now.
