Summary
Asmongold reacts to remarks and online backlash following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. He opens by mocking Scott Galloway’s story that he sold his Tesla because of Elon Musk and had defecated in the car before selling it.
Most of the video focuses on the I’ve Had It podcast hosts laughing at a joke about Kirk’s murder. The hosts later apologized, called the joke insensitive, and said they had donated to Everytown for Gun Safety. Asmongold argues that the apology came only after advertisers began ending or pausing sponsorships. He portrays the sponsor withdrawals as an effective response to celebrating political violence and says the next step should be getting the podcast removed from platforms such as Spotify. He also explicitly advocates public humiliation and financial pressure to deter others from similar speech.
Asmongold cites Erica Kirk’s condemnation of jokes about assassination and argues that political violence should not be treated as entertainment, regardless of political differences. At the same time, he makes sharply partisan claims about which side is responsible for political violence and accuses several left-wing commentators—including Hasan Piker and Tyler Oakley—of excusing or encouraging it. He disputes comparisons between the Kirk assassination and other incidents, while warning that normalizing political violence could eventually lead to violence against left-wing figures as well.
The video also includes clips and commentary about the I’ve Had It hosts defending themselves against a cancellation campaign. Asmongold rejects their claim that the backlash is politically motivated and interprets their response as evidence that the pressure is working. Overall, he presents advertiser boycotts and deplatforming as tools for punishing speech he considers supportive of political violence, while repeatedly using combative language toward the people he criticizes.
