Because of that, I have made the difficult decision to step away from this performance.

So NBC News omitted the fact that in pulling out of the event, Bret Michaels, the leader of the band Poison, which was popular for about 30 seconds in 1988, cited threats of domestic terrorism and political violence as

that would be committed obviously by leftists.

Now, many of these artists we can assume have similar concerns and those concerns are not unfounded.

I mean, if we're being honest with ourselves, we all know there's a very real possibility that a leftist will attempt to murder people who try to celebrate the founding of America.

This is after all a movement that openly cheered the assassination of a health insurance CEO, as well as Charlie Kirk.

They've tried to murder Donald Trump more than any other president in American history.

has had attempts on their life, and they have adopted the tactics of the Bolsheviks, who we'll discuss at length in an upcoming episode of Real History, by the way.

And like the Bolsheviks, leftists in America seek to violently topple the established order and murder tens of millions of people in the process.

That's why they're telling musicians that they'll be executed if they participate in an event that has anything to do with our country's history.

And it's one of the reasons why many of these musicians are backing out.

NBC News doesn't want to say that out loud, but it's true.

And yet, all that being the case, I cannot absolve the administration of responsibility here because they have bungled this event as well.

I mean, it's looking like we will not have anything close to the raucous, joyous, patriotic celebration that our nation's 250th deserves and that Trump promised.

And the blame for that failure can be cast in many directions.

And anyone who says that the Trump administration itself is entirely blameless is just being a partisan shill, which I refuse to be.

I mean, the fact is that even before the artists started dropping out of Trump's planned concert in droves, there was already a major problem.

The problem is that those artists were invited to begin with.

You know, the administration had planned a concert featuring, and I'm not making this up.

You saw it there on the screen.
