The Tara Show

Charlie Kirk said there's no such thing as hate speech. So then, why are so many people losing their jobs over what they're saying about his death? Explore the issue with a law professor and hosts Tara Servatius, Marc Cox, Bob Rose, and join a rousing debate on the Kayal Show from WPHT Radio.

Today’s episode examines the escalating threats in American political and cultural life, pulling together multiple stories to reveal a worrying pattern of radicalization and media manipulation. From Luigi Mangione’s legal saga and the Charlie Kirk shooting, to the Clemson leadership controversy and historical parallels with Marxist revolutions, this episode dissects how violence, intimidation, and ideological extremism are being normalized. Key topics include: The legal and social implications of politically motivated murder cases and light sentencing. How social media platforms amplify and celebrate political violence. Historical lessons from the Russian Cadet Party, the Weimar Republic, and global Marxist revolutions. Media framing and gaslighting, including subtle justifications for violent acts. Broader societal impacts, from free speech challenges in the UK to domestic labor and immigration debates. This episode ties together the threads of assassination culture, radical leftist strategy, and medi

Raw and unfiltered — this episode rips the veneer off a narrative that tried to reshape a killer into a hero. We walk through how social platforms and cable chatter raced to soften and sanitize a murder, the stream of posts celebrating the shooter on Blue Sky, and how that same rhetoric turns ordinary people into targets — from campus staff to members of Congress. You'll hear: the attempt to rebrand the shooter, the media double-take that followed, the chilling hit-lists and death threats aimed at public figures (including Nancy Mace and campus employees), and why this moment reveals a deeper problem: a growing “assassination culture” that dehumanizes opponents and makes violence an acceptable political tool. We also look at the small wins — like the Clemson fallout — and what vigilance looks like going forward.

This episode connects the dots between FBI surveillance, courtroom maneuvering, and the media’s shifting narratives. We start with “Operation Arctic Frost” — the FBI program that allegedly monitored 92 Republican-linked individuals and groups, including Turning Point USA. While whistleblowers warned of foreign election interference, evidence was buried, investigations closed, and surveillance redirected at political opponents. At the same time, new developments in the Luigi Mangione case reveal how charges can be strategically downgraded, moving a first-degree murder indictment down to second-degree — and maybe even manslaughter. On social media, Mangione’s case has taken on a disturbing “fan culture” of stanning and glamorization. Finally, we unpack how networks and commentators have rebranded the murder of Charlie Kirk — some outlets framing it as a love story rather than a political assassination — and why critics warn this feeds into a broader “assassination culture” that normalizes violence against pol

In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, a political firestorm erupts on Capitol Hill. Rep. Nancy Mace introduces a resolution to strip Rep. Ilhan Omar of her committee assignments, accusing her of amplifying rhetoric that fuels “assassination culture.” Omar fires back on X, claiming Mace is fabricating quotes and attempting to censor her. This episode examines the rhetoric war in Congress, the role of influencers like Hasan Piker campaigning alongside far-left candidates, and the shocking calls for violence that surface in their circles. From chants of “kill landlords” to debates over free speech vs. incitement, the culture of political rage is laid bare. Meanwhile, new revelations surface about the FBI’s Operation Arctic Frost, where 92 Republican entities — including Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA and state attorneys general — were surveilled under the guise of “election threats,” even as whistleblower warnings of Chinese-backed absentee ballot fraud and fake IDs flooding U.S. airports were ignored.

Tara dives deep into the current state of political violence, radical left-wing movements, and media spin. From the Luigi Mangione case to the Charlie Kirk shooting, she exposes how portions of the media and left-leaning institutions normalize, justify, and even celebrate violent acts while minimizing or ignoring key facts. This episode explores: How legal technicalities and sympathetic judges could allow politically motivated murderers to receive lighter sentences. The social media amplification of political violence and the rise of what Tara calls “assassination culture.” Historical parallels with Marxist revolutions, the Russian Cadet Party, and the Weimar Republic, showing how minority factions use fear and intimidation when they can’t win at the ballot box. Media manipulation, from CNN anchors to public figures, subtly framing political violence as excusable or emotionally motivated. Real-world impacts on communities, workplaces, and governance, including the ongoing debate over immigration enfor

Tara breaks down the parallels between historical Marxist revolutions and today’s radical left-wing movements, tracing a 20-year strategy of violence, intimidation, and political coercion. From Russia’s cadet party and the Weimar Republic’s street brawls to the modern U.S., she explains how assassination culture, targeted attacks, and mob tactics have always been used by minority factions who can’t win at the ballot box. The episode examines the ongoing outrage over Luigi Mangione and Tyler Robinson, highlighting the online celebration of political violence and the growing normalization of threats against CEOs, influencers, and law-abiding citizens. Tara connects historical lessons to contemporary platforms like Blue Sky, social media, and free speech, asking whether Americans will resist intimidation or quietly accommodate radicalism. Listeners will come away with a historical perspective on the escalation of political violence, the psychology of revolutionary movements, and the stakes of defending free sp

The left celebrates as accused killer Luigi Mangione inches closer to freedom. A New York judge’s ruling dismisses terrorism charges — and with them, the first-degree murder charge tied to the assassination of a CEO. What should have been a clear-cut case of premeditated, first-degree murder is now downgraded to second-degree, setting the stage for a possible light sentence that could see Mangione free before he even goes gray. Tara and Lee break down how the legal maneuvering works, why second-degree charges often mean far fewer years behind bars, and how left-wing social media is openly celebrating Mangione as a hero. From manifesto quotes to posts fantasizing about his future parole, the episode exposes the dark culture of political violence and the growing normalization of assassination in leftist circles. The conversation also expands to cover biased media narratives, selective reporting in politically motivated shootings, and the international fight over free speech — including the arrest of comedian

Was Charlie Kirk a terrorist? Was South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson a dangerous threat? According to the FBI’s Operation Arctic Frost, they and 90 other Republican-linked individuals and groups were treated as if they were. This episode unpacks the explosive revelations about how the FBI allegedly spied on 92 Republican entities under the pretext of “election threats” — while ignoring or burying whistleblower evidence of Chinese-backed absentee ballot fraud and thousands of fake driver’s licenses intercepted at Chicago O’Hare. We also dive into the Clinton Annex, a hidden cache of evidence that reportedly showed repeated felonies tied to Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information, and new documents naming Joe Biden directly in a $100 million Russian-linked scheme through Rosemont Seneca. While real crimes were classified and hidden, innocent Republicans were surveilled for questioning the 2020 election — raising the question: was the FBI protecting democracy, or manipulating it?

In this episode, breaking news hits Coastal Carolina University: a taxpayer-funded employee who praised the murder of Charlie Kirk and suggested Congresswoman Nancy Mace should be next is no longer employed. Tara dives into the bigger issue of tenure in higher education, asking whether state-funded professors should be shielded from accountability no matter what they say or do. Joining the conversation is Pam Evette, South Carolina’s Lieutenant Governor and candidate for governor, who makes the case for ending tenure at state schools, empowering students to push back against bias in the classroom, and using financial leverage to drive change. The discussion also turns to illegal immigration enforcement, comparing South Carolina’s approach to Florida’s “all officers deputized” model, and whether similar steps could soon come to the Palmetto State. This fast-moving episode unpacks how colleges, politics, and law enforcement intersect — and what accountability should look like for those in positions of power.

In this episode we follow the unfolding legal drama around high-profile killings and the way judges, juries, and social platforms nudge outcomes inch-by-inch. Using recent court rulings — from dropped terrorism enhancements to downgraded charges — we explain the legal mechanics that can turn a first-degree case into a lesser offense, and why that process feels like a calculated, deliberate unspooling to many observers. We also examine the cultural side: the tidal wave of social-media reaction on Blue Sky, the celebrity narratives that recast accused killers as romantic figures, and how that flood of online fandom shapes public perception and the courtroom theatre. Expect clear, forensic breakdowns of charges (terrorism vs. first-degree vs. second-degree), a primer on jury nullification and plea dynamics, and a look at the political and emotional storytelling that surrounds these cases.

A fast, hard-hitting episode that follows a single thread: new disclosures about the FBI probe code-named “Arctic Frost” and what they mean for political surveillance, press trust, and partisan outrage. We parse allegations that the probe swept up 92 Republican targets — including Turning Point USA — and what Senate documents and oversight hearings reveal about who was watched and why.

A high-octane episode that tracks how a violent act becomes a political script — from social feeds that lionize the shooter to real-world death lists and threats aimed at public figures. We unpack the case, the social-media reaction that tried to recast the murderer as a romantic hero, and the chilling effect on elected officials and campus employees now living under threats. Expect brisk, forensic breakdowns of how narratives are manufactured, why dehumanizing rhetoric escalates to violence, and what it means when newsrooms and networks race to reshape the story. This episode is for listeners who want straight, unsentimental analysis of political rage and the real people who become targets.

In this raw, unflinching episode we unpack the fallout from a shocking murder and the way the media and political movements raced to frame the story. Was this an act of left-wing radicalism, a tragic love story gone monstrous, or something the networks scrambled to sanitize? We dig into the social-media blitz, the headlines that followed, and what this moment reveals about a nation where political hatred can turn lethal. You'll hear: A close reading of how outlets and platforms shaped the narrative — who was lionized, who was blamed, and why. A look at "assassination culture": what that phrase means, how it spreads, and why dehumanization matters — plus the campus battles and the Clemson aftermath that have people fired up. This episode is for listeners who want blunt analysis of the cultural and media forces that make violent politics possible — and for anyone asking how we stop rhetoric from becoming bloodshed.

Today’s episodes dive deep into the escalating threat of left-wing extremism, the mainstreaming of political violence, and the alarming cultural shifts in America. From disturbing polls showing a sizable percentage of liberals who justify violence, to the celebration of Charlie Kirk’s assassination and harassment of conservatives, we uncover the dangerous trends that are largely ignored—or covered up—by the media. We examine real-world examples: antifa attacks on ICE agents, radicalized students and faculty, targeted harassment of conservative families, and left-wing activists pushing violence as a norm. High-profile cases, including campus protests and social media incitement, reveal a coordinated, widespread threat that demands awareness and action. The episode also contrasts conservative civility with leftist extremism, highlighting the importance of accountability, lawful responses, and standing firm for free speech. With insights from J.D. Vance and others, we explore how to confront this culture of vi

Trigger warning: discussion of threats, assassination, and political violence. In this episode the host digs into a fevered controversy at Clemson — professors accused of celebrating violence, decades of archived headlines alleging campus attacks on conservative student groups, and a broader claim that left-wing activism has been funded and normalized into a “pro-murder” mindset. Through archived research, eyewitness reports and recent developments, the episode pieces together a narrative about how online chatter can precede real-world attacks, why university leadership matters, and what accountability might look like. Expect an urgent, opinionated breakdown: the alleged pattern of mob violence against Turning Point USA and similar groups, reported funding and institutional responses, strange on-the-ground details from the recent incident, and a pointed call for university action. This is for listeners who want a hard-hitting, no-compromise look at campus culture wars, safety, and free-speech limits.

Trigger warning: discussion of assassination, threats, and political violence. In this episode, the focus sharpens on Clemson University and the wider cultural climate that critics argue is normalizing political murder. JD Vance joins with searing commentary — sharing personal stories of his children harassed at Disneyland, friends targeted in their neighborhoods after Charlie Kirk’s death, and the shocking statistic that large portions of self-identified liberals openly justify political violence. The conversation weaves through disturbing anecdotes: children reflexively cheering Trump’s “death,” professors allegedly excused for inflammatory rhetoric, and media outlets accused of distorting Charlie’s words to justify his murder. The host contrasts left-wing tolerance of violence with the right’s stated commitment to “ballots, not bullets,” pressing the case that taxpayer-funded institutions like Clemson must choose between condemning or tacitly enabling extremism. Expect an urgent, uncompromising breakdow

South Carolina’s universities are under fire as accusations swirl that Clemson employees celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk and even suggested future political murders. Attorney General Alan Wilson says the First Amendment doesn’t protect incitement to violence — yet Clemson’s leadership resists full accountability. Former Freedom Caucus Chairman Adam Morgan joins the show to expose what he calls a taxpayer-funded effort to normalize “pro-murder” rhetoric on campuses. From calls to defund Clemson and Coastal Carolina to warnings about precedent-setting free speech battles, this episode dives into the clash between higher education, politics, and public safety. Is this about protecting academic freedom — or protecting radicalism? And what should parents, donors, and lawmakers do next? Tune in for a raw, unfiltered conversation on the stakes for South Carolina and beyond.

In this explosive episode, we break down the shocking rise of left-wing political violence and its mainstream acceptance among a segment of the population. From the assassination of Charlie Kirk to attacks on ICE agents and targeted harassment of conservative families, the threats are real—and often hidden by the media. We explore disturbing statistics showing how many liberals justify violence, the proliferation of pro-murder rhetoric on campuses, and the dangerous influence of radical voices like Hassan Piker. Hear firsthand accounts of harassment, intimidation, and the steps conservatives are taking to push back, including holding perpetrators accountable for their online incitement. This episode also highlights the broader cultural war: how misinformation, celebration of political violence, and the rise of radical leftist networks threaten free speech, public safety, and the rule of law. We close with a call to action—standing firm in truth, civility, and defending the values that underpin a free societ

This episode exposes the shocking rise of political violence targeting ICE agents, including documented attacks and assassinations by Antifa militants. We examine how mainstream media coverage often buries these stories, leaving Americans unaware of the danger faced by federal law enforcement. We also tackle controversial political narratives, separating fact from fiction, including claims about policing origins and the misrepresentation of ICE agents as “slave patrols.” Beyond the attacks on law enforcement, we dive into a horrifying crisis: tens of thousands of migrant children lost under the Biden administration, many subjected to sex trafficking and death, according to international reporting. From Antifa’s lethal campaigns to the systemic failures endangering vulnerable children, this episode sheds light on the violence, deception, and bureaucratic negligence that few are talking about — and what it means for the safety of America.
