| 0:00.0 | Well, Donald Trump was just cornered with a list of right-wing political terrorism attacks after he spent weeks trying to build this story where political violence in America comes from the left, Antifa, Black Lives |
| 0:24.2 | Matter, flag burners, sort of the usual caricatures. And then yesterday, the entire thing collapsed |
| 0:31.6 | because standing in the Oval Office, CBS reporter Nancy Cordes finally did what journalists should have been doing for a very long time. |
| 0:40.4 | And that's putting the receipts right in front of Donald Trump. |
| 0:43.9 | Now, we've known for a long time that overwhelmingly political violence in the United States |
| 0:48.8 | is right wing. |
| 0:50.0 | That doesn't mean we excuse left wing instances of it. |
| 0:53.1 | It doesn't mean we condone violence. |
| 0:55.0 | It doesn't mean that we say that violence of any kind or using guns to solve political or cultural |

| 1:19.7 | We have, of course, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, whose motives, by the way, we still don't know. |
| 1:25.7 | And as complicated and convoluted as they might be, we still don't know. And as complicated and convoluted as they might be, |
| 1:29.6 | we simply don't know right now whether the motivations were left or right wing. But what about |
| 1:35.5 | the example of Minnesota Democrat Melissa Hortman just months ago? What about the attack against |
| 1:41.4 | Paul Pelosi in his own home? What about the shooting of Gabby Giffords? |
| 1:44.8 | What about the attack on the Pennsylvania governor's mansion? |
| 1:48.9 | Where, by the way, I was just yesterday with Governor Shapiro looking at where that damage recovery has been taking place and getting a firsthand look at that terrifying arson attack. |
| 2:00.0 | What about that? |
