06 Oct 2025
Chapter 1: What violent comments did a Democratic attorney general nominee make?
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.

Usually I kind of like tune it out and then I come back in like most of the time. No safe words, no moderator.
Chapter 2: 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.
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. liberal Gen Z women were more supportive of political violence than were Gen X and baby boomer men.

Chapter 3: What statistics reveal about political violence support among Americans?
Pretty incredible stuff. There's no I'm sorry. Again, this conversation apparently happened in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk being murdered. And so when we say that the legacy left, the mainstream left, has a soft spot in its heart for murder and terrorism.
I wish I could say that weren't true, but it appears that there is a lot of truth to that statement and there's poll data to support it as well. And it's embedded systemically in the system. If you are a member of a so-called oppressed group, you can get away with literally attempting to murder a sitting Supreme Court justice.
If you happen to be a person who claims you are trans, you will get a lesser sentence. This is the other big lesson of the weekend in left-wing violence. Alrighty, folks, the violent permission structures don't just exist with regard to this Virginia AG nominee. They also exist in Chicago, in Portland. Actually... In London, the leftist violence permission structures continue.

Chapter 4: What is the current state of negotiations regarding the Gaza War?
Another domestic terrorist was arrested for assaulting CBP at the scene, following J.B. Pritzker's refusal to allow local police to help secure the scene. Secretary Noem has deployed special operations teams to restore law and order. As our ICE law enforcement was responding to the shooting, a domestic terrorist followed them and rammed their vehicle in an attempt to run them off the road.
Chapter 5: How does education level impact views on political violence?
This individual has also been arrested and is in HSI custody. An ICE vehicle popped a tire and was subsequently mobbed by domestic terrorists, forcing law enforcement to abandon the vehicle for their own safety. The vehicle was significantly damaged. Several CBP law enforcement officers were sent to the hospital with various injuries.
This is an organized terrorist assault on agents of Border Patrol and ICE. Again, egged on by the left. I mentioned the movie at the end of last week. one battle after another, which is basically about glorifying this specific kind of activity. And the movie literally opens with a raid on an ICE facility. And I understand that's a piece of entertainment. I get it.
I also understand that there is a permission structure that has been created by the left that if you are doing the brave work of resisting federal law enforcement in the enforcement of the law, somehow this makes you a hero. And not only that, the true villain is the person enforcing the law. This has been the case made by Rotund Governor of Illinois, J.B.
Pritzker, who said the feds need to get the heck out of Chicago. Well, you know, they might not be in Chicago in the first place if you just let them do their job. And if you inhibited people from violently assaulting officers,
Let me just say that the secretary doesn't know what she's talking about. She frankly says that people are clapping. They're not. They're booing her on the street and they're booing ICE and CBP. They're marching the CBP marching on a beautiful Sunday in Seattle. Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago.
They're raiding neighborhoods where instead of going after the bad guys, they're just picking up people who are brown and black and then checking their credentials. Are you a U.S. citizen? I don't know about you, but I don't carry around papers that say I'm a U.S. citizen. So you can imagine people are getting detained. They're
And they did this, of course, when they raided a building in the middle of the night in South Shore. One hundred and thirty people that were emptied out of this building. They were going after a few gang members and instead they broke windows. They broke down doors. They ransacked the place. And there were people that were held. I mean, elderly people and children zip tied.
Elderly people held for three hours at a time. They ran. are the ones that are making it a war zone. They need to get out of Chicago if they're not going to focus on the worst of the worst, which is what the president said they were going to do. They need to get the heck out.
So they need to get out of Chicago, not the people who are violating the law. The people who are attempting to keep the law are the ones who need to get the heck out of Chicago. According to J.B. Pritzker, who's also very upset because the president has said that he wants to use National Guard troops, perhaps to quell the violence in Chicago against law enforcement officers.

Chapter 6: What recent violent incidents occurred involving ICE agents?
The president also told CNN that Hamas faces, quote, complete obliteration if the group refuses to cede power and control of Gaza. That is what he told Jake Tapper on Saturday. If Hamas insists on staying in power.
Tapper pressed the president on Hamas's response to his 20 point ceasefire proposal, citing Lindsey Graham's interpretation that Hamas had effectively rejected the plan by insisting on no disarmament, keeping Gaza under Palestinian control and tying hostage release to negotiations. And Tapper said, is he wrong? And Trump responded, we will find out. Only time will tell.
The president says he expects clarity soon on whether Hamas is genuinely committed to peace. And he was asked if Prime Minister Netanyahu is on board with ending the campaign in Gaza and supporting the president's broader vision. And he said yes on Bibi. Speaking of which, here is the prime minister of Israel saying that they are on the brink of a deal to end the war.
This was the prime minister on Saturday night.
we are on the verge of a very big achievement. It's not final yet, but I hope that in the coming days, during the Sukkot holiday, I will be able to announce to you the return of all the hostages in one phase, while the IDF remains deep inside the Strip and the territories that control it.
Thanks to the great support I received from you, citizens of Israel, and thanks to the bravery of our fighters, I stood up to enormous pressure from home and abroad to stop the war and to give in to Hamas's dictates. You know what would have happened then. We would have left Gaza having achieved almost nothing.
OK, so that is a translation of what the prime minister is saying. He, of course, you recognize his voice. He's speaking in Hebrew there. And so that is the translation of his statements. Meanwhile, the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, appeared on Meet the Press on NBC on Sunday. And he said, listen, if Hamas remains in control, then this whole thing has been for naught.
You can't launch something like October 7th and expect to remain in control. No one should forget what happened on October 7th.
We don't forget what happened on October 7th. That's the other thing the president repeatedly points to, is remember October 7th. But whether we agree with it or not, we have seen the impact that this has had on Israel's global standing.
