Hour 2 - The Left's Dark Turn

Buck Sexton (0:00)

Is there something emotionally and psychologically wrong with the left, with the Democrat Party?

I say yes. Now, not all of them, obviously, but a lot of them. So much so that I think it's fair to say it has become very influential on the underlying ethos, the underlying philosophical and spiritual foundations. The architecture of the left, if you will, is rotted, it is falling apart, it is fetid. That's a fun word to say. And I can give you examples of this now.

In the aftermath of an election that we all know was difficult for us.

It was tough. It was a tough night. It was kind of funny. It was a little bit like I knew it would be bad. And so had battened down the hatches. But I didn't know that it was going to be like a thermonuclear blast. So my little dugout, if you will, didn't protect me all that well. It was a rough night. It was a rough night, as we know. Okay, fine. The Democrats are expected to celebrate. They're expected to have some ebullience afterwards to get really fired up about their prospects. Now, okay, fine. Fair is fair. And that is exactly what we would think would happen in the circumstances. But they also show you something really gross. You know, if you do play any sports, you learn a lot about a person by the way that they lose. And I mean play it, not even watching it, right? Whether you're into, you know, basketball or shuffleboard, whatever it may be. You learn a lot about a person when they lose. You also learn a lot about a person when they win. You see what their character is, especially if it's a intense and competitive contest. And that brings me to Jennifer Welch, who is the host of the I've Had It podcast. Now, I've seen her clips before. She's a former Bravo reality TV star from the short-lived sweet home Oklahoma.

And she is now a far-left voice.

You know, I don't do the make fun of people's appearance thing, but she is one of these people who I think has done so much work on her face that it's fair to say there's something that strikes me as just emotionally unwell about her. There's like a self-negation or a deep insecurity that, but maybe I'm analyzing that a little too deeply. Probably not. Here's what she said, though. On November 5th, we actually have the cut. So I will let her say it and let you hear it. This is cut 29 podcaster Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan on the left play it.

Jennifer Welch (3:09)

Dead Morose says, we're digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.

Angie Sullivan (3:18)

I'm zooming in to the Fox.

Jennifer Welch (3:29)

No comment.

No comment. No comment on that.

SPEAKER_5 (3:33)

Other than he was shot by somebody that was super MAGA family.

Jennifer Welch (3:36)

He was shot by a MAGA person. Right. So do that with what you will. White person, white MAGA family.

Buck Sexton (3:45)

OK.

It sounded demonic, right? It sounded deranged. There's something wrong with these people. And you might say, oh, what did the laughter? There's nothing funny about that. And I don't even mean that it's heinous and grotesque and hateful beyond words. It is all of those things. But it's also not clever. It's not funny. So why are they laughing? Why do they take amusement? Do those two women sit there and think about the blood gushing forth from Charlie, a father, a husband, an American?

Gushing forward from his neck when he's sitting peacefully and engaging others in dialogue, and they think that's funny?

There's something amusing about that. Hmm. This is the kind of moment where you are reminded of the differences between the right and the left in the media, because clearly their audience is okay with it. In fact, that very concept or that very notion of doing it again to Charlie Kirk's corpse, that came from somebody who was in their audience, and they read it out aloud. And so you'll notice there aren't people on the left who are condemning this. This is who they are. If you are in the true believer left of America today, if you are really involved in progressive politics, you have no problem with this. You have no problem with that kind of rhetoric. I would add they make it even worse, as if that would be possible for a mentally healthy person in this circumstance. They actually make it worse by then adding a lie on top of it. So they laugh at the death of Charlie Kirk at an assassination in cold blood on video that all of us saw.
