Quote from the episode:

>“Let me just go over the last 12 months. So we saw in June 2025 the assassination murder of a Democratic leader in Minnesota. You saw the assassination murder of Charlie Kirk a few months later. Then in January you saw the killing by ICE agents of two American citizens. We also have Governor Shapiro in Pennsylvania. We of course have multiple President Trump assassination attempts.

>So what you are seeing is clearly the rise of political violence on both sides. But the really important thing to say about this is not just that it's rising on both sides, but it's now starting to spiral.”
