At about 3:20, when Jessica Tarlov points out the stochastic terrorism aspects of the George Soros fantasy, Greg Gutfeld trots out the shitbird "argument" that "everything puts lives in danger", and goes on to voice the giant shrug coming from "conservatives" - like:
"Well gee, we'll never acknowledge our part in fomenting violence, so we can't do anything but go on pretending it's a big mystery and blah blah blah".
He's normalizing and excusing the violence. He's broadcasting to the entire DumFux News audience that political violence is just the way of things.
But he's doing some important cherry picking too. He knows the same stochastic bullshit that motivates a nutball to mail pipe bombs to Democrats, can just as surely motivate a trans kids to shoot people at a Christian school, but he'll never allow the dots to be connected.
The non-suggesting suggestion that leads to some horrific act will always be followed by the non-condemning condemnation, unless the attack is directed at a "conservative" target. Then the condemnation is quick and specific, and the similarities are denied, even as the pundit tries to gaslight the shit out of us with, "it happens all the time" or "the extremists on both sides" or "it's god's will' or whatever else they can yank out of their ass at the time.
