| 0:00.0 | Well, folks, there was a shocking assassination on Wednesday in New York City. We're going to get into all the details and the left's bizarre response to this particular assassination. First, if you have not yet heard, DailyWire Plus is 50% off right now. It's our best deal of the year. That is one full year of uncensored shows, exclusive series, documentaries, and more. Don't wait, this deal ends soon. Had it over to dailywire.com slash cyberweek |
| 0:21.4 | and join the fight today. So on Wednesday, the chief executive of United Health's insurance |
| 0:26.7 | arm, according to the Wall Street Journal, was fatally shot outside a hotel in New York City. |
| 0:31.4 | It was a targeted attack, according to the police. There is, in fact, video of the attack. |
