| 0:00.0 | I want to start today by talking generally about political violence in the United States. |
| 0:21.6 | What I mean by this is acts of real world violence that are politically motivated or politically |
| 0:28.2 | oriented. And of course the context is this horrifying attack by a right wing anti-vaccine, |
| 0:34.4 | anti-semitic QAnon nut on Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul Pelosi, which we will get to. But one of |
| 0:40.6 | the things that the right has been doing in response to this horrible attack to this obviously |
| 0:46.2 | politically motivated attack is a lot of both sides. Well, we generically condemn violence and |
| 0:52.4 | violence is bad no matter who does it. Violence in general is unacceptable. But let's not pretend |
| 0:59.4 | that it is the same on both sides. First of all, they aren't actually telling the truth |
| 1:04.8 | that they see left and right wing violence in the same way. Their reaction to the January, |
| 1:09.5 | January 6th Trump riots, excuse me, is great evidence of that. But more importantly, |
| 1:15.7 | they are looking to say, well, just violence is bad, but overwhelmingly the violence comes from |
| 1:20.9 | their side. There's a very good study from the new America think tank, which found that most |
| 1:29.9 | political violence is right wing. And in fact, they have number of people killed in deadly attacks |
| 1:36.5 | in the post 9-11 era. This is for deaths. And then we have other incidents of violence where nobody |
| 1:42.3 | dies. Number of people killed by ideology. And you will see that there's 122, which are far right |
| 1:49.3 | wing and 107 that are jihadist. 17 are ideological misogynists slash in cells, which is another |
| 2:00.1 | right wing reactionary ideology. Then you've got your black separatist nationalist supremacist |
| 2:06.4 | and one that is far left wing. Other than the one far left wing, these are all essentially right |
| 2:14.2 | wing ideologies. Now you might say, but David, the jihadists folks, jihadists are right wing. |
| 2:20.4 | Tell me what left wing views jihadist Muslims have. They have the exact same views as the far |
| 2:27.6 | right Christians, except under the guise of Islam rather than Christianity. So overwhelmingly, |
| 2:35.6 | right wing violence is the cause of a death in the United States in politically violent acts. |
