Zuby is joined by senior writer at National Review and author, Noah Rothman. Noah reveals the wave of political violence that mainstream institutions refuse to confront. From the attempted assassinations of Donald Trump, to the killing of Charlie Kirk, the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, and more. The conversation explores why the data supposedly proving right-wing violence is more prevalent is deeply flawed, why revolutionary movements have always been drawn to bloodshed, how Antifa was mainstreamed, the difference between condemnation and rationalisation, the role of blue sky-style silos in radicalising individuals, and why America may only be one bullet away from a catastrophe most people can't imagine.
