Ben Shapiro 0:00
Stacks showed today a Democratic attorney general nominee in Virginia was caught on text saying that he wanted to shoot political opponents and also that that political opponent's kids are actually small fascists. We'll get into the leftist permission structures for violence, how that's manifesting in attacks on ICE agents in Chicago, federal agents being unleashed in Portland, plus the latest on all of the Gaza negotiations between Israel, the United States, and Arab countries in the region. First, We told you when the left attacks, we would only get louder. On Thursday, October 16th, we're turning the volume all the way up. Here's your first look at The Daily Wire's new live show, Friendly Fire.

October 16th, we celebrate the 10-year anniversary of The Daily Wire. 10 years of leftist tears. New shows, big moves, bigger targets. And first up is our newest show, Friendly Fire. Usually I kind of like tune it out and then I come back in like most of the time. No safe words, no moderator.

How are leftist permission structures for violence manifesting in recent events?

Not to be obscene, but those are underwhelming breasts. By the way, that is the best evidence that he did not draw it because you know that he would have gone double D if he had drawn it. We're celebrating our first decade and kicking off the next 10 years by doing what we do best. Picking arguments, starting fights, and filming the whole thing.
Van Jones 1:14
I find that horribly offensive. You almost ruined my marriage. We're always kind of looking forward to what's the next big thing. In this segment, no one is disagreeing, but I actually find the whole conversation very disagreeable and unpleasant.

Well, folks, as we'll explore in just a moment, I think it is fair to say the Democratic Party has a fairly serious violent extremism problem. We've been talking about this for weeks, obviously. All of this reached its apotheosis with the murder of Charlie Kirk and the explosion of sympathy for the murderer among mainstream members of the press, certainly in places like X and Blue Sky from the left. We now have some statistics to back up willingness to engage in violent activity in order to press forward a political agenda, particularly from the left, thanks to Skeptic Research Center, which is connected with Skeptic Magazine, which is run by Michael Shermer.

This brand new study investigates support for political violence among Americans and what it finds is is that some 44% of very liberal people in the United States, 44% say, quote, violence is often necessary to create social change. Meanwhile, 28% of liberals say that as well. The levels of support on the right are not even close. Normal conservatives, only 20% say that. People who consider themselves very conservative say violence is often necessary to create social change. In other words, more mainstream liberals than very conservatives believe that violence is often necessary to create social change. About one in three younger adults, according to this survey, that'd be Gen Z and millennials, express support for political violence.
Ben Shapiro 3:24
liberal Gen Z women were more supportive of political violence than were Gen X and baby boomer men. And that makes some sense considering the fact that liberal Gen Z women constitute a huge percentage of the very far left. Not only that, this sort of belief system that people who are undereducated, people who are ignorant, that those are the people who are perfectly happy with political violence. Actually, it turns out political violence is a luxury belief. Americans with the highest level of educational attainment, graduate or professional degree, are about twice as likely to support political violence than those with less formal education. As my friend Dennis Prager suggested, college these days is not teaching people wisdom.
