Political violence

and that kind of thing.

My own sense is that political violence over the election outcome per se is perhaps not all that likely.

What is unfortunately quite likely is that the kind of violence that we're already seeing, violence by settlers on the West Bank, which the government could rein in if it wanted to, and probably a government other than Netanyahu's would rein it in.

Well, that's going to be a more permissive environment for a time.

It will be until – and there will be – Breathtaking articles and hot breaking news on the various networks.

I just hope there's no political violence.

We're not going to be France, if that's what you mean.

No, I don't think we're going to be France, but like, I just, I don't know.

A former volunteer for the far-left GetUp told the parliamentary inquiry GetUp had trained him for the purpose of deliberately interrupting Liberal political candidates' visits, where security, he said, was not tight and maximum disruption and embarrassment to the candidate could be caused, as well as shirt-fronting the candidate in front of the press and physically blocking the Liberal Party's candidate's walk while yelling abuse at the candidate.

Hard left influencer Hannah Ferguson only recently justified some political violence, writing, is violence sometimes necessary? Answer, yes.

And hard left pro-Palestine activist Grace Tame called for the interfar that you now see in Palestine or in Gaza from Palestinians fighting Israel.

And apparently, if you ask Tame, it should be brought here.

From Gadigal to Gaza, globalise the intifada!

I could show you so much more footage of political violence by the Australian left.

I could fill up the rest of the show with it, I'm sure.

And I could also show Labor Prime Minister forced by an anti-Australia Day mob to flee for her safety, Julia Gillard.

He joins me today on Mea Culpa as we begin to see a fuller picture of how January 6 transpired and who was connected up and down the chain.

But his main concern is dealing with a new wave of political violence from right-wing radicals and how we put the extremist genie back in the bottle.

So let's listen now to that conversation.

Okay, so Frank, in an interview on conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt's radio show, Chris Christie the other day stated that Trump incited the January 6th riot to intimidate, at that time, Vice President Mike Pence.

Headline, Donald Trump is the accelerant.

And that's what really struck me, which is why I ended up reading it.

And it's basically a comprehensive timeline of Trump encouraging these hate groups and these individuals to engage in political violence.

And Fabiola runs through this timeline, literally from things that he says to, you know, actions that were taken not just by him.

Um, for those of you I haven't met, my name is Sarah Clayton.

I work for The Hartford leading Underwriting Performance and, um, the Political Violence and Terrorism portfolio.

Happy to be here to moderate today's discussion.

Um, twenty-five years ago, in September, I was a property broker because the terrorism market didn't yet exist in the same way it does today.

Um, for those of you who don't know me, my name's Julian Barker.

I'm the, uh, senior underwriter at the Noah Syndicate thirty-nine oh two.

Um, and I underwrite, still underwrite political violence and political risk today.

Um, twenty-five years ago, um, I was actually on vacation.

We've played you countless videos.

And the polls that have been done that approve of political violence are shocking.

All I stand for is political peace.

I stand for live and let live, libertarian, hands off, laissez faire, kind of like you do you, boo.

they gave me whataboutism and,

oh, look, there's,

you know, there's political violence against the Democrats too.

So I said, you're a wishy-washy son of a gun, man.
