1 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,600 Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistle blower, an 2 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,000 American patriot. Prepare to embrace the 3 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,480 uncomfortable truth because this program has no time for 4 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,920 comforting lies. Here is civil liberties 5 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,840 enthusiast, Second Amendment defender, and recovering FBI 6 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:40,480 agent Kyle Seraphin. Well, hello my friends, welcome 7 00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:43,280 to the Kyle Serif and Show. It's Monday, it is September the 8 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,640 29th and we are rolling late by about 5 minutes. 9 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,080 Sometimes I I underestimate the scope of work coming in from the 10 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,040 weekend. There's not a lot of people who 11 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,960 are going to get yelled at for being 5 minutes late. 12 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,880 But yes, our chat is already grouchy with me for being the 5 13 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,680 minutes late and I will do my best to make it up to you. 14 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,080 Here's what we got. We're going to do a touchback on 15 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,160 Jimmy Kimmel and the story of the worst censorship that's 16 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,080 happened in America. Did Americans respond and 17 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,720 support this man? You guys will be shocked to find 18 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,960 out the answer. We're going to do a do over. 19 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,960 I think what we're seeing right now at the end of this summer of 20 00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:23,120 2025 is a Mulligan from five years ago. 21 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,600 It's the first year of the Trump administration versus the last 22 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,040 year of Trump One point O. And there's a very interesting 23 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,880 dichotomy being played out right now. 24 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,000 A lot of the things that Trump promised previously are getting 25 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,600 done right now. They're not getting done 26 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,600 perfectly. I'm not necessarily crazy about 27 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,000 the way that they're going about it all. 28 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,280 But it is a concerted effort to to really retouch a bunch of 29 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,720 these bases, these these issues that got left in the dust at the 30 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,240 end of the last Trump administration. 31 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,200 And maybe he would have done them in 2021 had he gotten 32 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,960 another shot at it. I also kind of think that we got 33 00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:02,960 a Mulligan on the Trump administration game because I 34 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,840 think that he would have probably been cowed into 35 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,520 submission. We watched the way that the end 36 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,199 of the Trump administration field filled out at like the end 37 00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:13,640 of 2020, right? There was a compliance with BLM. 38 00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:16,680 There was this instinct that we shouldn't push too hard. 39 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,800 And then after four years of Biden, we're seeing kind of a 40 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,200 different touch. I don't hate it. 41 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,400 I don't I don't think it's perfect. 42 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,520 I think we should always criticize where we can and try 43 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,920 to get we should try to get the ball rolling in the way that we 44 00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:32,720 expect it to because we're the voters. 45 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,880 They work for us. They are federal agencies, our 46 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:43,360 federal politicians and so on. And yet, I don't know, it seems 47 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,600 like they're doing a better job, mostly because I got to watch a 48 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,800 bunch of Portland protester a holes get like their their got 49 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,800 their business rocked. I'm trying to say this without 50 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,400 swearing. So we're going to get into that. 51 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,520 Some FBI agents were fired on Friday afternoon. 52 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,280 That was kind of interesting. Get into that story, something 53 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,480 I've been covering for literally years at this point. 54 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,040 I may have been the original agitator on that story and I 55 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,280 brought it up as soon as I became a public figure. 56 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,600 And yeah, we're going to do a bunch more. 57 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,160 So we're going to start off with the folks over at Under TAC. 58 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,160 That's where I'm going to lead off with today. 59 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,240 And some of you guys may know this already, but the best day 60 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,520 starts with the best underwear. Is that wrong? 61 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,520 Is that, is that a weird way of looking at it? 62 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:33,600 Go to Undertac, UNDERTAC, undertac.com and use promo code 63 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,560 Kyle 20 to get yourself 20% off anything in the in the store 64 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,840 there.

It doesn't mean that the heat 70 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,680 and the humidity have stopped. That's why we switched over here 71 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,360 in the Seraphin house to Undertack. 72 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,320 They have the leading edge of premium comfort and function. 73 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,320 Forget your old boxer briefs, especially if you're an old 74 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,280 boxer brief. What are you doing? 75 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,000 Undertack was built for Special Forces missions in brutal 76 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,040 conditions. They can handle a little bit of 77 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,760 Texas lawn mowing. They have a premium modal fabric 78 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,160 which which way moisture better than cotton by 50%. 79 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,839 It's naturally antibacterial. That's the stink part of it. 80 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,839 They give you something cool, dry, chafe free. 81 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,920 And whether you're crushing a workout or you're just owning 82 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,280 your day, whether you're hanging out on your couch 'cause you got 83 00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:25,200 your comfy undies on, you can do that too. 84 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,800 As long as nobody else has got the windows open, they're 85 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,840 functional. They've got a hidden E&E pocket 86 00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:33,080 that's for holding on to cash or a micro SD card or a handcuff 87 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,000 key or whatever. It needs an extra almond. 88 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,200 If you're Steve friend, Undertack is more than just 89 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,920 boxer briefs. They've got a battle weave 90 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,840 Marina wool socks. I've been wearing those in the 91 00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:42,920 gym as well. I don't care about having high 92 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,640 socks because I have high motivation. 93 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,000 I want comfy feet. They're five times stronger than 94 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,320 regular Marina wool. They are rugged and they have 95 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,560 soft everyday T-shirts.

You will not be disappointed. 102 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:09,920 I've been very pleased with all the stuff that I've worn from 103 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,160 them so far and I'm sure that we'll continue on as the weather 104 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,160 gets cooler here. All right, let's get into 105 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,200 today's program right now. Don't ever forget about 106 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,600 sponsors. They're always easily to find in 107 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,200 the link below. Let's do a Monday morning show 108 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,240 here. Let's talk about a Mulligan. 109 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,120 All right, round run Part 1. First story right off the bat. 110 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,400 I didn't even add it to one of our presentations here. 111 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,200 This came from The Gateway Pundit Sugar High just three 112 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,280 days after Jimmy Kimmel. You guys remember that guy? 113 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,600 He was the defender of freedom and the First Amendment by 114 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,320 making jokes about MAGA and getting his facts wrong. 115 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,840 Just three days after his comeback, his ratings have 116 00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:04,920 crashed by about 70%. Three days after Democrats in 117 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,240 the media made a huge deal again. 118 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,120 We said maybe that was the whole point in the 1st place to go and 119 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,960 see could we get a little durable ratings bump for this 120 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,560 guy. It turns out that his ratings 121 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,200 have evaporated. Since the beginning of the week 122 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,120 he returned to air, his ratings have dropped by 70%. 123 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,040 The much hyped return was little more than hype. 124 00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:26,000 A sugar high last longer, says the Gateway Pundit. 125 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,960 That is not a good sign. Now they are going to return him 126 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,560 to some of the Sinclair affiliates. 127 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:37,000 But the claim was here you go. So Wednesday night ratings, you 128 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000 had Gutfeld with 3.2 million cumulative and you had Jimmy 129 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,080 Kimmel with 2.4. That's a drop off because the 130 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,520 day before that he had 6.3 million. 131 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,200 And I assume it will continue to fall and fall. 132 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:57,400 So just saying, remember when there's what was that? 133 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,640 Just remember when there's media hype, Is it Monday or what? 134 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,280 Just remember when there's media hype like this and they're all 135 00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:06,440 crying about something that is obviously going to be a big 136 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,200 problem. We know that it's going to land 137 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,120 and be about as durable. Yeah, about as durable as 138 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,000 something cheap from Walmart that just falls right apart. 139 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,040 OK, I listened to this this morning. 140 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaking of people that are produced, people that are 141 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,880 selling something. You know, they're selling 142 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,520 something because the pitch is polished. 143 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,000 You ever get that phone call or they call in and if you, you, 144 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,160 they, they have this real smooth opening and they say something 145 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,480 and then you say something really weird and then they're 146 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,680 derailed. They don't know where to go with 147 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,160 that. I do this with telemarketers all 148 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,640 the time and I can't tell you what I say. 149 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,320 I just like randomly will say something weird that doesn't fit 150 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,800 into whatever their protocol is. I'll ask them a question or so 151 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,160 on. I feel like Scott McFarlane from 152 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,600 CBS is one of those guys. This is what I woke up to and I 153 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,720 and I must follow him over on social media 'cause this was the 154 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,800 first thing that I saw this morning when I opened up my 155 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,200 phone. I like it. 156 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,720 I like it because what we're doing is as we talk about re 157 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,320 adjudicating 2020, as we talk about a Mulligan for the BLM 158 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,680 protest, which I don't think were handled very well both at 159 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,400 the local level or the federal level, having been a part of it 160 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,160 in multiple different jurisdictions. 161 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,200 I'm also I'm also seeing people kind of like try to push things 162 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,320 that can't be real. We watched this weird push where 163 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,840 Cash Patel tried to roll back a press release that happened on 164 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,840 on Friday. You recall there was this story 165 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,280 the blaze ran and then you had some other people go out there 166 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,480 and talk about 274 FBI agents were quote UN quote embedded in 167 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,480 the crowd on on January 6th. If 2020 was the Mulligan, the 168 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,919 culmination of that sort of bad, that bad decision theater was 169 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,040 January 6th and then the federal rollout, because that was the 170 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,200 actual tail end of Trump's first administration, right? 171 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,720 Right up until January 20th. So the first J Sixers were 172 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,280 arrested on Trump's watch. That's worth knowing. 173 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,240 What's crazy is, is that no matter what information comes 174 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,560 out, everybody immediately gathers a side. 175 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,520 So the left goes out and says, ohh, it's totally crazy. 176 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,800 Like our federal people are our favorite, except that we really 177 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,360 hate them when they're part of ICE and they're doing 178 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,960 immigration enforcement. But they were really good under 179 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,800 Biden. And this is a totally new game. 180 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,000 It's all the same game. It's always the same people that 181 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,160 are doing this stuff. It just turns out the orders at 182 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,560 the top make a difference. Here's Scott McFarlane giving 183 00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:25,360 you a welcome to Monday, which is kind of funny. 184 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,560 I don't know. Is this what you guys are 185 00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:28,400 looking for? Do you want, like, something 186 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,880 falling apart and randomly hitting the wrong song button? 187 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,000 Or would you like this kind of nonsense? 188 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,520 Listen, Hey, good morning. It's Scott McFarlane. 189 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,240 It's Monday. That was way too short of a 190 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,080 weekend, but we're back at it for the big week ahead. 191 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,800 But this day and this week start in a place I wouldn't have 192 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,560 imagined a few days ago. But again, we're talking about 193 00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:55,480 conspiracy theories and really bold claims about the US Capitol 194 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,560 attack in January 6th, including this allegation that the 200 195 00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:03,120 plus FBI agents who were deployed to respond and help 196 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,280 stop the pillaging of the Capitol were somehow there 197 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:12,200 before the attack began and somehow a part of inciting 198 00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:16,640 January 6th. I'm going to pause it with him 199 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,120 on the screen. So the problem with the folks on 200 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,520 the right that jump at every single opportunity without the 201 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,640 facts behind it, the problem with saying things like 274 202 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,320 means that they were there to set up this event. 203 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,640 I'm going to, I'm going to pose a question to you and I want you 204 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,200 to consider it very, very, I want you to consider it as 205 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,600 logically as possible without emotion, because January 6th is 206 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:41,840 an emotional event for a lot of people. 207 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,600 Consider this, if you were planning an operation, let's 208 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,160 say, and you wanted to really be successful with 209 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,880 compartmentalization, knowing everything you know, let's say 210 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,240 it's just from watching spy movies. 211 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,040 And let's say you didn't have a training or a background in 212 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,000 intelligence or operations planning. 213 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,200 Let's say you weren't in the military, you weren't doing Gray 214 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,800 and deniable OPS. Would you have the FBI, the 215 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,040 overt federal law enforcement agency that has significant 216 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,560 amounts of oversight and is regularly having the director 217 00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:14,480 pulled out in front of, you know, members of Congress for 218 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,880 hearings? Would you have them both 219 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,600 quarterback and create the event to set up whatever your scheme 220 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,480 was and then simultaneously also make them the people that had to 221 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,120 investigate and respond to it? Or would you, as I've said here 222 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,040 many times, and I think this is the more likely thing, would you 223 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,360 farm out potential nefarious deeds to other and maybe 224 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,840 deniable governmental agencies? I've always told you that DHS is 225 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,320 kind of a black bag when it comes to what they can and what 226 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,240 they can't do. And people that are assigned to 227 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,320 DHS temporarily, maybe they have some additional authorities. 228 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,160 Why would you want to put FBI agents who are regularly 229 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,960 required to go and be underoath and who aren't necessarily 230 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,040 particularly good liars, just in my experience? 231 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,880 Why would you put those people on the front line inside of a 232 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,400 crowd to rile them up and then turn around and ask those exact 233 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,320 same people in the exact same office that would know those 234 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,280 people have them do the prosecutions? 235 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:18,440 Does that make any sense to you? This is the problem with jumping 236 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,000 on the 1st narrative that you hear. 237 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,360 Because I saw people that are otherwise credible and 238 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,320 intelligent human beings immediately jump to some some 239 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,880 sort of like unsupportable and unsubstantiated claims. 240 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,800 It doesn't make any sense. I'm fairly confident that the 241 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,360 number and this is the other reason why was the document that 242 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,000 was released. Why was it created in the 1st 243 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,120 place 'cause we need to actually know that the vast majority of 244 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,400 FBI agents in my experience are, are pretty conservative leaning. 245 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,800 Maybe they're libertarian, maybe they're apolitical altogether, 246 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,880 but they tend to be a kind of a political, you know, right of 247 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,280 center group. And the reason you know that is 248 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,800 because they go to church, they join the military, they want to 249 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,400 be in law enforcement in the 1st place. 250 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,600 I do think that the left lean from the FBI comes from the the 251 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,560 Intel community, but it's strange to imagine that you'd 252 00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:06,400 have a bunch of people do something that they know would 253 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,240 be against their own interest and principles and then turn 254 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,520 around and then they would investigate it with vigor. 255 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,160 You really need to have plausible deniability in this 256 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,800 sort of scenario. So what Scott McFarland is going 257 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,040 to set up is, I think a straw man argument. 258 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,640 They're they're running this red herring of of hey, look at 274. 259 00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:24,880 These people are all part of the conspiracy theory. 260 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,360 Just because the way that he lays it out probably didn't 261 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,480 happen, and the way that people on the right have jumped on it 262 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,800 didn't happen doesn't mean that there were not federal assets 263 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,560 engaged in inciting people. I just don't think that 264 00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:40,360 everybody has found the right department. 265 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,880 It's kind of like when you go out and say the CIA did 266 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,280 everything, it's usually because you don't know what the CIA does 267 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,360 or who it might have been. There's other Intel services. 268 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,040 There's 17 Intel services in the United States government. 269 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:57,800 So to just broadly refer to them as the CIA makes you technically 270 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,840 wrong and therefore you're vulnerable to criticism. 271 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,480 Harry, he's going to go out and lay out something that I think 272 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,880 is one of the dumbest arguments, but I, I wanted to just give you 273 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,240 guys that sort of interjection. The boldness of those claims 274 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,120 aside. So those who've gone through 275 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:15,000 every case file, all 1500 plus US Capitol riot prosecutions, 276 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,800 talking about 10s of thousands of pieces of paper, you just 277 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,600 don't see it. You don't see evidence presented 278 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:25,240 that somehow there was this fed surrection and that was borne 279 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,560 out in the criminal cases, wasn't it? 280 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:31,960 Because in 100% of the jury trials of January 6 rioters, 281 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,800 there were convictions. There were hundreds and hundreds 282 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,840 of guilty pleas, people who acknowledged what they did on 283 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,000 January 6th. There were convictions by 284 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,800 judges, including Trump appointed judges. 285 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,120 So he goes and leans on Trump appointed judges. 286 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,920 He leans on the fact that people pled out. 287 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,240 For those of you who are not familiar with the way that the 288 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,160 federal law enforcement system works, it's over 90% conviction 289 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,760 rate in some way, shape or form. People don't actually get a fair 290 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,440 trial in the Fed. Well, let's be wrong. 291 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,480 Some people do not get a fair trial because they are 292 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,520 overwhelmed by how much the cost is, the capabilities and what is 293 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,440 being presented to them. So they plea out to a lesser 294 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,440 charge because they're overcharged and that is all an 295 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,600 incentivized system. I quote Bill Shipley here 296 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:15,960 regularly. I don't agree with a lot of 297 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,000 stuff Bill Shipley says, but I do agree with this. 298 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,680 The government's job is supposed to be process and not be 299 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,600 interested in outcome. What we saw in January 6th for 300 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,800 people that had never experienced the legal system 301 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,640 before is that there was this vested interest in coming out 302 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,120 with an an outcome. And when they went for outcome, 303 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,240 they overcharged people pled to to lesser charges and they got 304 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:45,760 the 90% Federal prosecutors do not want to have, you know, 305 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,680 acquittals unless they decide to go up against like a Mark Houck. 306 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,320 You guys are asking who is this guy? 307 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,240 This is a mainstream presenter for Cbsi. 308 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,480 Like the word presenter, 'cause I don't think he's reporter. 309 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,080 He's clearly saying his opinions about stuff. 310 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,800 And he's even referencing there were Trump appointed judges on 311 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,040 the bench as though that somehow changes the game. 312 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,800 Once you're inside that system, the system is very, it's very 313 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,200 circular. It serves itself. 314 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,480 It doesn't necessarily serve those that are being that are 315 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,080 being accused and brought before it. 316 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,720 I don't think there was any justice for January Sixers. 317 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,280 I think that the people that were involved in assault on 318 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,720 federal law enforcement got heavier sentences than normal. 319 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,880 I think people who weren't even there got insane sentences 320 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,600 because there was a predetermined outcome. 321 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,960 And that a lot that a lot of that has to do with the way that 322 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,000 we are now looking at this Jim comedy scenario. 323 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,480 There are people that want retribution, and I think I 324 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,040 understand that instinct. My answer is, is that even 325 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,800 though that probably feels good, it would be far better for us to 326 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,280 break down this system and this weapon than just wield it for a 327 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,560 little while. And I'm going to continue to 328 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:48,800 make that. I just want to finish the last 329 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,560 little thing that he says, which is funny because it reminded me 330 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,320 of Portland, and we're going to touch on that as well. 331 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,080 During this Mulligan in bench trials, there were precious few 332 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,160 acquittals on charges. What's more, the crowd that was 333 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,280 there that day, the riotous mob to have been incited. 334 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,200 They sure did come equipped. For what happened among the 335 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,000 things January 6 rioters carried that day, bear spray. 336 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:15,440 Some had knives, a tomahawk axe in at least one case, Bats, 337 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,920 hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks, pipes, Confederate flags, and in 338 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:24,000 some cases, in some cases, guns. Guns. 339 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,839 Oh my God, they had lacrosse sticks and hockey sticks and 340 00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:31,640 pipes and and Confederate flags. Guys, a tomahawk axe. 341 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,200 Whatever the hell a tomahawk axe is, Can you imagine there are 342 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,920 more capable and more deadly guns and other assorted weapons 343 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:46,240 in my bedroom, in my bedroom right now than there are or 344 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,200 there were in the entirety of the crowd that went into the 345 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,400 Capitol. I don't have any Confederate 346 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,120 flags, which I don't know how they're deadly, but they, you 347 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,920 know, Confederate flags. Can you imagine? 348 00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:59,840 There were a couple of guns in the crowd. 349 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,080 There was like a guy with a revolver. 350 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,640 But the real serious people that would have seriously brought 351 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,040 guns that seriously wanted to take over the Capitol didn't 352 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,680 show up. They didn't. 353 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,800 It wasn't, it wasn't there. They were guns in the crowd from 354 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,680 law enforcement officers and from federal agents. 355 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,440 And you know, one of those, one of those Capitol Police officers 356 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,200 who decided to shoot an unarmed veteran in the face, which I 357 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,840 think was one of those things that should be revisited. 358 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,040 We're just talking about, we're talking past each other and 359 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,640 we're out of reality here. And so as we enter this, this 360 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,320 interesting sort of swing back where we're getting a second 361 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,120 touch at Portland, we're getting a second touch at BLM injustices 362 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,560 and at the FBI where people are now trying to get a little bit 363 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,480 of transparency. Let's remember what we don't 364 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,440 have. What we don't have is a, an 365 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,760 honest accounting from all of the government agencies of who 366 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,920 the hell was involved in what. What were the DoD assets that 367 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,280 were on the ground? What were the DHS assets that 368 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,040 were on the ground? Those are two different 369 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,120 departments outside right of DOJI think DOJ has been pretty 370 00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:04,680 thoroughly, you know, adjudicated. 371 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,240 The questions have been asked and answered and maybe some 372 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,240 people were able to fudge around the corners. 373 00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:12,240 There's a story that we're going to cover in a minute about Chris 374 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,360 Ray. And is he going to be the 375 00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:15,320 someone? I he's been conspicuously quiet 376 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,960 and I think rightly so, smart move on his part to be quiet 377 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,160 about all this. But we need to ask the question, 378 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,400 what other departments were there? 379 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,680 Because if you're not asking all of the assets that we have, both 380 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,840 the deniable and the ones that are accountable, you're not 381 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,680 going to get the real story. And you're going to peg your 382 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,880 hopes on 274 FBI agents who as far as we can tell, And I've 383 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,880 been talking to Steve Baker over the weekend about this too, 384 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,280 there is almost no evidence of FBI agents showing up in some 385 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,040 sort of plain clothes. There's no such thing as an FBI 386 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,640 uniform. So I'm in plain clothes right 387 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,360 now. If I were to put a plate carrier 388 00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:51,480 on, I'd still be in plain clothes. 389 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,800 If I were to show up and look like, let's see what I got here. 390 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,320 If, if I showed up and looked like this, This is what I, this 391 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,080 is what I look like in Portland in 2020. 392 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,920 For you who have never seen this, it's kind of funny. 393 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,880 I'm at an in and out. I was doing surveillance. 394 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,800 We went and got some lunch. This is one of my teammates who 395 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,280 I blacked out his face, 'cause he's still working. 396 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,280 That was it. It was like, that's 397 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,000 plainclothes. I had a, a neck gaiter on 398 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,880 because it was 2020 and there was a lot of stupidity in 399 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,200 Portland. You had to have it to be able to 400 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,600 go up to, you know, to order food. 401 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,040 And there I am. It also was useful for my job 402 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,560 'cause I needed to conceal my face sometimes. 403 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,680 And then there we are. I've got a, a Plaid shirt on. 404 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,520 That's plainclothes. If I would have put a plate 405 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,360 carrier on, I would be overtly marked as FBI, but I also would 406 00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:32,760 have still been quote, UN quote, plainclothes, as you heard. 407 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,200 Now, as I was talking to Steve Baker about all this stuff, 408 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,600 there was almost no evidence of FBI agents going up to skirmish 409 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,640 lines, showing their badge or credentials and then joining in 410 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,640 the fray. OK, That's just what it is. 411 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,960 It didn't happen. So the odds are that 274 that we 412 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,320 heard about on Friday, it wasn't a bunch of people that were 413 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,200 embedded in the crowd to get them all riled up. 414 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,160 Again, use the process of elimination. 415 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,240 Use your your most honest thinking head and think, would 416 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,560 you really want the same people that are going to go investigate 417 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,280 and have to sit up on the stand setting those folks up? 418 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,640 Or would you rather use a different deniable organization 419 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,760 and then have your FBI operate in quote UN quote good faith? 420 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,440 It's like, well, we know we didn't set this thing up. 421 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,000 My guest to you is that that 274 number not only included the 422 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,520 SWAT team members who responded, of which there was probably 50 423 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,240 or 60 in that you had your your comms people responding. 424 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,760 So there's another dozen there. You have your evidence response 425 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,480 people that could be 4050, Sixty people in that alone. 426 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,400 But a lot of it was the investigators that came in after 427 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,160 the fact that we're asking questions. 428 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,600 We know for a fact that a third of the Washington field office 429 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,280 was required to deploy, but they couldn't get there because all 430 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,480 the roads were blocked up. So they didn't actually make it 431 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,720 on scene. And so remember who created that 432 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:54,680 document, the document that said that the 274 agents specific 433 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,560 we're looking for something and they weren't looking to expose 434 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,400 their undercover operations to to help overthrow the MAGA 435 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,760 movement. I promise you that's not what 436 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,960 they were interested in. That was generated under Biden 437 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,320 as an after action. What that was, was an 438 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,040 accountability saying, look how many resources we deployed to 439 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,520 this thing. Look how much more funding we're 440 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,960 going to need. The simplest answer for 441 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,880 government is how does it benefit me? 442 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,120 I just want you guys to be thinkers when you see this 443 00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:22,200 stuff. And then we start talking about 444 00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:26,480 the narrative about violence and the narrative of violence is 445 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,640 ongoing and it is happening in multiple different areas right 446 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:30,760 now. There's a story at CBS. 447 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,680 This LED. This was their 60 minutes piece 448 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,280 After Charlie Kirk's murder. The Utah governor, Spencer 449 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,440 Spencer Cox grapples with rising political violence. 450 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,520 Again, they're very nonspecific about this thing. 451 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,240 He's Americans have condemned political violence as 452 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,880 inflammatory rhetoric. The people are upset, they're 453 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,680 angry, they're nauseous and disbelief. 454 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,920 This is the Republican governor of Utah, and he's saying that he 455 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,080 decried political violence against both Democrats and 456 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,760 Republicans, and he focused on an opportunity for all Americans 457 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,000 to disagree in nonviolent ways. I'm not asking people to hold 458 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,280 hands and hug it out. I'm just saying stop shooting 459 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,840 each other. Well, that's a reasonable thing 460 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,160 to say. But we have this moment where 461 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:11,920 people could all quote UN quote come together. 462 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,520 But you got folks on the left that just can't really let it 463 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,720 go. They can't just be like, hey, 464 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,480 this was someone from quote UN quote our side and we need to 465 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:28,680 really decry that this happened on CNN last night, night before 466 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,280 last, I think Scott Jennings, this LED guy, they're going to 467 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,320 have a discussion about what is violent, who is violent. 468 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,640 And I think that leads into another little sort of piece of 469 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,560 evidence I have from Bill Maher talking about, you know, you 470 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,160 hear about the issue with with Islam and violence. 471 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,800 And it's not that all people that are Islamic have an 472 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,720 instinct towards violence. It's just that the people that 473 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,000 are not necessarily violent don't really decry and cast out 474 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,320 those who do. I think the political left has 475 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,240 that same problem. We're going to go ahead and 476 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,960 evaluate that for just a second. Yeah, I'm pretty tired of 477 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,080 conservatives gaslighting about the current political 478 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,920 environment and Donald Trump's rhetoric. 479 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,440 When all of this escalation can be traced back to his entrance 480 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,200 into American politics. His claim to fame was saying 481 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,200 that Obama wasn't born in America. 482 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,480 He was the first presidential candidate to have his crowd 483 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,960 chant lock her up about a political opponent. 484 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,400 You can bring up the insurrection. 485 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,600 Even the past few weeks, my home city of Chicago, he posted a 486 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,440 photo of Chicago being invaded by the Department of War. 487 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,760 So the broader point here is Donald Trump endlessly deflects 488 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,600 and tries to blame it on the other side when he is the one 489 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,160 responsible for amping up the tension in America. 490 00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:35,560 And I've spent all of my formative years throughout high 491 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,000 school, throughout college, looking to the president, who 492 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,280 I'm supposed to be able to look up to, and seeing somebody who's 493 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,600 trying to place blame on the left, who's amping up the 494 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,920 rhetoric constantly. And yeah, it's not good. 495 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,040 So you think it's Donald Trump's fault that a deranged leftist 496 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,600 climbed up to the top of a building and shot up the ICE 497 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,000 facility not once now but twice in Texas? 498 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,200 I think it's Donald Trump's fault that America has gotten to 499 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,200 this heated place. I think that's no responsibility 500 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,880 for the for the radicalization on the left that's causing this 501 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,560 violence that 29 year olds radicalized by online 502 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,440 communities and online algorithms. 503 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,640 I'm not going to blame that Trump, but he was caught in a 504 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,040 lot of online video game algorithms and all these 505 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,280 communities, Donald Trump, but it's Trump. 10 years ago, Donald 506 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,760 Trump amped up the tension in America. 507 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,680 So, so, so he ran 10 years ago and this guy then ten years 508 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,720 later, somehow you're connecting. 509 00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:26,920 Can't you just take responsibility for it? 510 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,360 Oh, let's not do. The like he has to take 511 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,880 responsibility to the. Democrat. 512 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,560 I'm a 22. Year old YouTube, you want me to 513 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:34,680 take more? Responsibility than the 514 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,400 president. It always devolves into that. 515 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,720 Let me go back to a premise that we introduced last week. 516 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,240 I think that it is. It is really useful for framing 517 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,640 these thoughts. When you see people on the left 518 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,720 and on the hard left that want to make excuses for the left, 519 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,920 what do they always seem to do? They blame systems. 520 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,840 They're happy to blame Donald Trump too, individually. 521 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,160 Like one person individually can take responsibility, but it's 522 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,720 always the system's fault because the person is inherently 523 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,000 good. It's not that person's fault. 524 00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:05,120 They fell into YouTube algorithms and Reddit and video 525 00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:10,040 games as opposed to saying sometimes people do really bad 526 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,400 things. Conservatives believe that we 527 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,480 are fallen creatures, that we we come from a place of original 528 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,480 sin, that there was pride introduced into the world and 529 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,400 therefore there's been suffering ever since. 530 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,120 If you're on the left, people are sort of like utopian ideals, 531 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:25,880 even though there's no evidence of that being true. 532 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,560 It's this very sophomoric sort of juvenile belief that people 533 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,600 are inherently good and it's these systems that keep failing 534 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,080 them. And every time I see it, it's 535 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,920 really good to come from a 22 year old YouTube who said my 536 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,040 formative years in high school and college. 537 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,200 If you're 22 years old and you're a man, like a young man 538 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,800 in America, you don't know anything. 539 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,440 Like there are so few of them that do. 540 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:53,240 I knew one guy that had his his SHIT together at that age 1. 541 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,720 Only one of all my friends and my friends were absolutely like 542 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,320 the top tier of America's intellectual talent. 543 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,520 My friends had 10s of million, like like a dozen guys had 10s 544 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,440 of millions of dollars in scholarship offers. 545 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,400 So by all the accounts of what people cared about for like 546 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,840 kids, they, they were sports studs, they were intellectually 547 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,600 capable, they were getting scholarships to go to college. 548 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,240 They were all going to be super successful. 549 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,320 And then guess what? Like none of them had their, 550 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,280 their, their business together, Not one of them. 551 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,440 And the one that everyone sort of looked at in my group of 552 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,880 friends and said, Hey, that's the one guy who's made a really 553 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,400 goofy mistake. He's one of the best people in 554 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,960 the entire world as far as I'm concerned. 555 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,640 He got out and dropped out of college and got married right 556 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,800 away and had a baby and then went back to college and he's 557 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,200 been providing for his family. He's an empty nester right now. 558 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,000 He's an empty nester. He's my age and I have a 2 year 559 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,960 old. He figured it out. 560 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,600 I think that 22 year old Ben in America often times are, are 561 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,280 like the worst people to listen to. 562 00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:51,560 So listen to that guy. Have a very juvenile 563 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,480 understanding the world. It makes perfect sense to me. 564 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,200 Here's kind of an older guy who's saying the same thing that 565 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,880 Scott Jennings is, when Scott Jennings, who's kind of like 566 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,680 center right, and Bill Maher, who's kind of like an old 567 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,480 school, he's like a classic liberal we can agree with 568 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,440 sometimes. If they're saying the same 569 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,080 thing, they're probably saying something that most Americans 570 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,040 can get behind. The basic problem we have in 571 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,720 America is conservatives think the liberals are insane and 572 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,840 they're not completely wrong. Now I don't think most liberals 573 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,920 are insane, but neither do they make it clear they disapprove of 574 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,840 the ones who are and they're cowardice in not marginalizing 575 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,120 their own crazies has been their downfall. 576 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,680 I couldn't get Neil deGrasse Tyson, a genius scientist and 577 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:39,200 pre eminent scientific voice in the media, to agree that it was 578 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:44,000 ridiculous for Scientific American and the Atlantic to be 579 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,160 claiming that separating sports by sex doesn't make sense. 580 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,680 Yes, it does. Actually. 581 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,440 It makes perfect sense and it's obvious that it does. 582 00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,760 And there's a lot of stuff like that on the left. 583 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,240 And when conservatives see it, they say I'm sorry, we're just 584 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,040 not going to go along with reinventing society, often 585 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,800 pointlessly, even if we have to cancel democracy to do it. 586 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,040 That's what they're saying. They see gender is only a 587 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,760 construct and sex is assigned at birth and they say we're not 588 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,400 doing that. Transient kids by self diagnosis 589 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,720 with no age limit, no parental notification and no 590 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,640 acknowledgement of social contagion. 591 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,800 Not doing it. Asylum now covers any reason for 592 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,400 anyone to come to America. Not doing it. 593 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,440 Homelessness is a lifestyle. Natural immunity doesn't count 594 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,560 anymore. Whiteness is toxic. 595 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,480 Penises in women's prisons welcoming the intifada. 596 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:48,200 We're not doing it. I think penises in women's 597 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,880 prisons is my new favorite expression. 598 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,480 I don't know where he decided to throw that out there, but it's 599 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,920 pretty good, right? Isn't that the thing? 600 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,080 This is the do over? This is the touch. 601 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:02,080 We watched the insanity sort of get a a strong foothold in 2020 602 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,120 and it was insane. It was insane that people burned 603 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,040 American cities over the injustice of a guy overdosing on 604 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:14,840 drugs underneath a a a taut and authorized police hold tactic. 605 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,040 Anyone who's ever seen the truth about what happened with George 606 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,440 Floyd knows the guy was claiming that he had difficulty breathing 607 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,960 prior to getting on the ground. He was in the back of the car. 608 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,680 Why was he on the ground in the 1st place? 609 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,200 Because he wouldn't sit still long enough to be in the back of 610 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,760 the squad car that they had or the SUV they were trying to to 611 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,320 shackle him in. The guy committed a crime. 612 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,000 He was in the midst of having a fentanyl overdose. 613 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,760 What is fentanyl but an opiate? And what are opiates but 614 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,160 respiratory depressants? So people have difficulty 615 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,800 breathing. It's actually very common. 616 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,080 You usually don't get to see it happen in that slow period of 617 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,080 time. But I'm guessing that he 618 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,480 probably had a pretty high tolerance. 619 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,280 And then they burned cities over it, and they got this crazy, 620 00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,280 this crazy movement behind them that raised millions and 621 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,880 millions of dollars from corporations and that allowed a 622 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,760 bunch of other crazy stuff to happen. 623 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,120 We've got a chance to retouch that. 624 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:13,960 I think I say that as somebody who actually was in Portland in 625 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:20,800 2020, September of 2020, like right now, let's call it five 626 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,960 years ago, I was sitting and taking pictures like this. 627 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,800 What you're seeing on the screen, This is a great reason, 628 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,160 by the way, for you guys to have Spotify. 629 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,480 If you don't use Spotify, you can't just switch between video 630 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,160 and audio. But if you're listening and 631 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,520 you're not seeing this, you're missing out on some visuals that 632 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,760 came from my actual surveillance camera while I was actually in 633 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,840 Portland working for the FBI. On the left side closest to me, 634 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,360 it's a guy who looks like he's out of a Mad Max movie 635 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,360 graininess is because I had a cheaper iPhone back then. 636 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,120 But the guy was wearing a handmade leather vest with a 637 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,320 scabbard that had a sword that was made from rebar and it 638 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:55,800 looked like it was welded together. 639 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,080 The thing was probably 4 plus feet long. 640 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,280 It was rusty. It was pointy on one end. 641 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,680 It was not sharpened. It was this like cudgel, 642 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,360 ridiculous weird weapon. He's wearing a bandana and 643 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,920 sunglasses and he's stomping around with patches and like a 644 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,800 like a he's a, he's a Larper. He was sleeping on cardboard in 645 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,240 a parking spot that I had to pay 20 bucks a night to park in for 646 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,320 my government vehicle. And he was sleeping there for 647 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,160 nothing while I was sleeping in the nicest hotel in Portland, 648 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,600 which was available at government rates, which meant it 649 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,440 was under $100 a night normally like between 400 and $500 a 650 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,720 night. But because Portland is so 651 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,360 jacked up that could actually afford their on the government 652 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,840 rate. And next to it, what you're 653 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,800 seeing was called the snack van. That was one of the subjects of 654 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:42,040 our investigations out there. The snack van was a graffitied 655 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,880 sprinter van full of snacks to be able to feed rioters. 656 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,520 And it has the word or the letters BLM on it and a bunch of 657 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,480 other crazy stuff. It had the ACAB all cops are 658 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,160 bastards. It had that FUC KA12 and a bunch 659 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,480 of other sort of nonsensical anarchist and, and BLM type, you 660 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,720 know, rioting stuff. The reason that people lumped 661 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,240 BLM and Antifa together is because the Antifa folks said, 662 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,120 ah, you are ideologically aligned with us, we're just 663 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,960 going to be more violent than you and we're going to use you 664 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,200 for cover. And so they did. 665 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,720 And so you're seeing right now this complaint about Portland 666 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,160 not wanting, quote, UN quote, Trump troops sent in. 667 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,120 This is the same exact signs that we saw in 2025 years ago 668 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,280 today. I saw signs up in windows. 669 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,880 Federal troops go home, despite the fact that Portland 670 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,680 desperately needed somebody to come in and clean it up because 671 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,560 the people that were in their city, we're not doing it. 672 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,160 So we're not going to accept the craziness. 673 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,680 And if you're going to burn down cities over a a black criminal 674 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,120 who died of a drug overdose, then you might also think that 675 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,760 other crazy things are possible. Like maybe we should just let 676 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:50,480 women do men's jobs or we should put men inside women's locker 677 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,640 rooms. All of this stuff is 678 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,400 problematic. This was a hearing that was just 679 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,240 done with Pete Hegseth. I think that seeing this touch, 680 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,240 this is the pushback that that Bill Maher was saying. 681 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,400 It's like we're just not going to accept the crazy as much 682 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,640 anymore. It's not coming in a perfect 683 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,320 manner and it's probably not even going to achieve the things 684 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,239 that everybody wants in the end. But it is going to give us at 685 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,239 least a slight push back against something that, you know, maybe 686 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:14,400 we'll take a little bit more ground. 687 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:15,920 I don't think we're taking the hill, folks. 688 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,520 But this stuff has to happen because we have to have these 689 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,120 conversations. And then you're going to have to 690 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,080 win it over by being reasonable with those around you. 691 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:23,800 And that's going to be the really hard part. 692 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,280 Let the loud movers be loud. You cannot accept false 693 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,679 statements to be said in your presence and not say anything 694 00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:32,239 back. I told you guys that this is 695 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,199 what a cultural crusade would look like. 696 00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:38,120 The cultural crusade looks like your family member, your friend, 697 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,760 your person at work says something that is over the top 698 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,199 radical leftist and you're just like, I don't agree with that. 699 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,600 You don't even have to be mean. You say I don't agree with what 700 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,120 you just said. That's not true. 701 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,159 You don't have to make an argument even. 702 00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:52,080 You just have to tell them that what they're saying so that 703 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,440 somebody in their circle lets them know that you are not in a 704 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,400 consensus of everybody agreeing with you. 705 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,600 This is Pete Hagseth essentially doing that because. 706 00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:05,600 If it were, you would be keeping these women in. 707 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,080 Instead, you are the one injecting culture wars into the 708 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,160 military, and it's at the detriment of our military 709 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,720 readiness and national security. Now, General Kane, I'd like to 710 00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:18,120 turn to you. Should be clear these are these 711 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,080 are men who think they're women these are women I'm happy to 712 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,160 educate you on but these are men what we've identified is that 713 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,320 there's mental health issues I'd like to belief system. 714 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,040 I'd like to turn to General. Are detrimental to readiness and 715 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,200 that's the determination that we've made and that we stand 716 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,400 behind gender default. And so you don't. 717 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,920 You don't. OK, we're not going to let you 718 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,640 just say that men are women and women are men. 719 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:40,760 We're just not going to let you do it. 720 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,760 You can't do that anymore. You don't get to say crazy 721 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,960 nonsense, but we should also be really careful to police things 722 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,760 that happen on the right, on things that people want to 723 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,360 believe right away. What's the thing that people 724 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,000 want to believe right now? Someone takes a potshot. 725 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,680 Someone goes and attacks a church. 726 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,680 Is it always left wing violence? Is it always some sort of 727 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,000 craziness that has something specifically to do with 728 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,440 politics? Probably not. 729 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,360 It turns out there's a lot of people that are very flawed and 730 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,400 broken in this country. There's a lot of mental illness 731 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,680 and it doesn't necessarily align with one politic or another 732 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,760 right now. We had two shootings over the 733 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,160 weekend that were pretty significant and pretty troubling 734 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:15,520 for folks that are paying attention to this. 735 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,320 I think that random violence is something that we are going to 736 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,320 find out more about and we're going to see more of it in the 737 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,560 same way that if we're revisiting 2020, if we can 738 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,960 correct some of the wrongs, we're also going to see some of 739 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,280 the sporadic and random violence. 740 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,920 The question is how do we react to it? 741 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,800 This is a story from ABC. Investigators are probing the 742 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,120 motive for a Michigan LDS Church shooting and fire. 743 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,480 At least four people were killed at the LDS Church in Grand 744 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,760 Blanc, which is in Michigan. This happened the other day. 745 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,400 Gunman named Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40 years old, drove his 746 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,800 truck into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 747 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,320 Michigan on a Sunday morning, began shooting concrete and set 748 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,760 the building on fire. All of this stuff is horrific. 749 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,960 Four people killed, eight others injured in the shooting. 750 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,720 There was questions about what the what the shootout happened 751 00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:01,920 because some people were armed and they decided to respond. 752 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,560 You also had law enforcement get involved. 753 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,800 The FBI is calling it a targeted attack of violence perhaps, but 754 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,800 it doesn't mean that it was necessarily left wing terrorism 755 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,800 that caused this to be the case. And so this idea, you guys may 756 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,320 have seen this. There's a what's his name? 757 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,280 There's a, a Saturday Night Live clip. 758 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,960 And I think it's like Shane Gillis, he does this bit where 759 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,000 they're like claiming the newscasters are claiming, 760 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,320 whether the blacks or whites, they're claiming whether it's 761 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,880 our people or your people are responsible for the violence. 762 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,240 The left and the right are playing that game in America 763 00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:33,240 right now. Every time there's a story about 764 00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:36,320 something horrific. The question is, is, can we say 765 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,360 this was a trans shooter? Can we say this was a left wing 766 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:40,960 looney? Was this an Antifa? 767 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:46,200 Was this a BLM activist? Is it possible that sometimes 768 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,560 bad things just happen because people are broken and they have 769 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,920 mental problems? I would say yes. 770 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,200 Here's a man named Chris, his name is Chris Johns. 771 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,440 He supposedly talked to this, the guy who was actually 772 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,160 involved in the shooting a couple days prior, and it sounds 773 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:04,600 like he was just upset with LDS. There are a lot of people that 774 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,600 don't like Mormons. I'm not actually one of them. 775 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,040 I understand that. I think that it's kind of 776 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,960 cultish and that it's not necessarily what Christianity 777 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,240 is, but I've found that Mormon people tend to be really, really 778 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,640 nice. They come and knock on your door 779 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,200 and they want to try to sell you their story. 780 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,080 And it's like, invite them in and have a cup of coffee. 781 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,360 Talk to them about the Bible, explain to them that you're not 782 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,280 interested in Joseph Smith and they don't get mad at you. 783 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:28,880 One of my best buddies in the in the, in the FBI Mormon guy, we 784 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,600 used to talk about what was and what was not and why and where 785 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,040 they where the root was, why they couldn't drink coffee. 786 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,120 You know what the issues were with tobacco. 787 00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:37,360 And he was totally honest about it. 788 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,520 He's like, yeah, this is what we believe. 789 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,080 Does it make tons of sense to me all the time? 790 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,120 No, But this is my religion. This is, you know, the the whole 791 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,360 system of beliefs as a whole. It works. 792 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,200 And guess what? He's happily married. 793 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,520 He's a conservative dude. He's a military stud and a hero, 794 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,360 right? He's the kind of person that 795 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,520 stands up. He worked in Portland for the 796 00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,080 FBI for a little while. And he was hated there because 797 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,960 he had principles and he spilled blood for this country, a lot of 798 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,280 it. Like he's a really deadly human 799 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:07,400 being. And he's the kind of guy you 800 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,560 want on your side. So am I going to turn away and 801 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,440 say, you know, Mormon people in general? 802 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,800 No, I'm not. But I can also say that certain 803 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,400 people crack and they demonize something that is different from 804 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,600 themselves. And when they do that, like, we 805 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:19,920 need to call that stuff out, too. 806 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,080 It's like, hey, man, you don't have to love Mormon people. 807 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,760 But I tell you what, they're probably not going to come and 808 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,880 violently come after you. This guy had this interview. 809 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,800 This is a looks like a local affiliate. 810 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,800 This is Dave Bondi. Maybe you guys know who Dave 811 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:32,800 Bondi. I actually don't. 812 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,720 But I saw this clip and I thought how interesting to find 813 00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:38,480 that you randomly encountered this dude and you might actually 814 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,000 have the motive. And the motive has nothing to do 815 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,000 with one politics or another. It has to do with the guy 816 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,040 getting mentally ill and probably fixating on something. 817 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,560 Hello everyone, I'm talking to Chris right now and you 818 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,640 contacted me a short time ago. Pretty, pretty distraught 819 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:55,600 because actually earlier today you came to the realization that 820 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,520 you say that you talked to the person who did this horrible 821 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,920 thing in Grambling Township. I did last week, it was 822 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,640 Wednesday or Thursday. I'm running for City Council and 823 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,280 I'm canvassing and I just, I had an address on my map that I went 824 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:11,560 to and I came across a gentleman. 825 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,960 He was very friendly and he had interacted positively with me. 826 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,960 And then we got out of the vehicle, we started just to 827 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,120 talk, and after a short while it the conversation went to the 828 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,960 Church of Latter Day Saints. Mormonism. 829 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,440 And he just made the position multiple times that that Mormons 830 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,840 are the Antichrist. And he and not so many terms 831 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,440 said that several times. He gave me his background, but I 832 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,960 just walked away from a person who had some very sharp views 833 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,240 about Mormons. Yeah. 834 00:40:37,240 --> 00:40:41,440 So you were just out campaigning for the election in November 835 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,240 coming up. I'm assuming that is correct. 836 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,200 And so you're just shaking hands looking to meet people. 837 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,840 You come across his door. Have you matched it up? 838 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,880 Is it the address the same as this person? 839 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,760 Have you looked? It is, yes. 840 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,440 I mean, it is not only is the address, but it's also the 841 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,080 person that I spoke with. I again, I have a friend in Utah 842 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,760 who is involved with the LDS church. 843 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,440 I sent him a voice message saying I had a conversation with 844 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,120 a person who had very sharp views. 845 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,720 And it's just like you come across a lot of different people 846 00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:11,360 while you campaign. And I shared this with him on 847 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,840 Friday and then we had our Sunday dinner. 848 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,280 And I end up seeing a photo that was the exact guy I spoke to 849 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,240 last week. So it doesn't necessarily always 850 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,240 have to be the pattern that we hope it is. 851 00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:24,760 And I think that we often times we have to confront our own 852 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,520 confirmation bias. I'm looking at the story right 853 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,960 here, which comes from CNN. And it says four people were 854 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,600 killed, eight were wounded, others are unaccounted for. 855 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,600 The Chapel who joins, amongst others, a Minneapolis Catholic 856 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,640 Church, a Pittsburgh synagogue, A Sikh temple, all places where 857 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,400 both young and old were killed. They were gathering for 858 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,840 different reasons. So you're talking about Sikhs, 859 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,760 you're talking about Jews, you're talking about Catholics, 860 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,000 you're talking about Mormons to celebrate the start of a new 861 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,160 school year, to mourn the loss of a leader, blah, blah, blah. 862 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,600 They're all doing this thing. They're all praying and they all 863 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:56,840 had violence. But it doesn't mean that they're 864 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,520 actually related. It doesn't mean that the reasons 865 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,120 that people went there are the same. 866 00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:04,880 We want to put things into nice little easy boxes, but that 867 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,560 doesn't actually work in our regular life. 868 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,720 People don't actually tend to fit in nice little boxes and 869 00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:12,280 occasionally decent. Otherwise, nice hard working 870 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,880 people will just go and and and snap and they do something that 871 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,360 is completely illogical. And what is the most common 872 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,480 thing you hear? He was such a nice man. 873 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,240 He always kept to himself. I had no idea that he would ever 874 00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:25,520 do this. There are plenty of stories like 875 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:26,960 that. That used to be the most common 876 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,200 thing that you hear on the nightly news when they would do 877 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,040 these things. I just want you to consider 878 00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:33,520 break the bias. When you hear something, if your 879 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,760 first instinct is to say, I hope it's somebody that did this 880 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,880 thing that I disagree with, that's the wrong instinct. 881 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:41,840 That's not going to get us where we want to be. 882 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,960 And we all do it. I do it. 883 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,080 You do it. Yeah, I assure you, the news 884 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,720 media does it. The difference is, is their 885 00:42:49,720 --> 00:42:53,520 voice is really loud. And we need to be very critical. 886 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,080 We need to look at them for the propaganda that they are 887 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,560 slinging in the way that they are slinging it, which is why I 888 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,120 played you, Scott McFarland, who told you in a very, very 889 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,640 polished voice, this is exactly the way. 890 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,440 Can you believe they had they had pipes and lacrosse sticks 891 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:13,280 and they had Confederate flags and even a tomahawk axe and 892 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,160 guns? But we've got tomahawk axes and 893 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,560 guns here on this set sitting right behind me. 894 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,800 They don't cause any problem for anybody. 895 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,080 There's a will to act. That's what has to happen. 896 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,080 And so again, if you're going to go out there and try to blame 897 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:28,360 systems, you're probably on the left. 898 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,280 If you're going to blame people individually, you probably are 899 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,160 on the right. But don't be a person on the 900 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,000 right who just says all these types of people are the problem. 901 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,120 We should still be interested in people individually and not just 902 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:40,600 do this process as the punishment. 903 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,400 We're fine with it because they're probably on the wrong 904 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,400 team. Can you guys tell that the word 905 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,520 tomahawk axe really bothers me? It really does. 906 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:47,880 All right, you know what doesn't bother me? 907 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:53,000 Having a power grid go out because we have a Grid Doctor 908 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:57,320 3300 sitting right outside of my studio wall here, and it powers 909 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,400 this particular broadcast it's running through, giving us clean 910 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,840 power in a universal or uninterrupted power supply. 911 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,280 Have you looked at your power bill, lady? 912 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,880 Your electricity prices are probably at all time highs. 913 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,040 I know they are over here as well. 914 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,600 They're only going up and power outages are becoming more and 915 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,880 more common because our grid is not keeping up with the people 916 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,360 we have. The Department of Energy said 917 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,800 blackouts could increase by over 10,000% over the next few years. 918 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,200 If you don't have a backup generator for your home, it's 919 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:21,760 time to get one.

Subject was arrested, left three 962 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,480 people dead, eight others injured. 963 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,960 Very similar as far as death, the numbers of death and the, 964 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,200 and the numbers of people injured. 965 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,600 It's this little coastal town called Southport, NC. 966 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,440 Guy used a quote UN quote, assault rifle. 967 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,280 Can you tell I'm looking at mainstream news, The suspects 968 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,240 from Oak Island, NC, he's been charged with three counts of 969 00:46:31,240 --> 00:46:33,480 first degree murder and five counts of attempted murder. 970 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,240 This is a local crime. You didn't see the FBI getting 971 00:46:36,240 --> 00:46:37,400 involved because it's not a church. 972 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,320 Truly sad stuff. And again, both of these guys 973 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,280 are military veterans. We find out that there's 974 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,760 probably some PTSD or maybe some trauma involved in there. 975 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,000 This plays into all kinds of narratives. 976 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,600 If you want to just lump people in and not consider them, if you 977 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:55,840 only want to look at them as a group. 978 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,560 I saw a sarcastic remark in our chat earlier. 979 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,480 Yeah, military veterans are dangerous. 980 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,560 Well, maybe so because they have some of these skills. 981 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,080 It was a it was a joke from one of our our chatters. 982 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,600 We want to find an easy answer and an easy solution, but it 983 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,240 turns out life is pretty messy. And again, if you have a 984 00:47:13,240 --> 00:47:15,840 confirmation bias where you want to do something like, I don't 985 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,200 know, like what Janet Reno wanted to do. 986 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,320 Wasn't she famous for saying something to that effect, that 987 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,200 we needed to make sure that we kept guns out of the hands of 988 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,320 veterans like, well, who's more capable and competent using 989 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,280 weapon systems that people that trained in our military? 990 00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:33,040 Probably not very many people. It turns out we could be honest 991 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,840 about certain things and say some people have broken from 992 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,280 their experiences. Some people are are going 993 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:42,840 through difficulty and we don't have to just lump everybody in 994 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,880 together. We can have simultaneously a 995 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,480 need to be able to arm ourselves against violent criminals that 996 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,440 just do not care about what's going on in this country or do 997 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,280 not care about being socialized. And at the same time, some 998 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:55,840 people, we should try to make them safe. 999 00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:57,280 The answer is not more government. 1000 00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,360 It turns out if you're me, I don't think that's the answer. 1001 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:06,280 The answer is how do we build up a community and a family so that 1002 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,080 when you see someone who's struggling that we can actually 1003 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:09,520 step in and and do something about this? 1004 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,960 Whose responsibility is it to make sure that a dangerous 1005 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,800 person or someone who's having like mental difficulties doesn't 1006 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,000 have access to weapons? Is it our government? 1007 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,320 Should they be screening us? Should they be checking every 1008 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,480 single thing that we write? Should be they look through our 1009 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,360 emails and our text messages and try to find out. 1010 00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,600 Oh, we're going to keep track of all the crazies. 1011 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:28,800 We already know they can't do it. 1012 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,640 How do we know? Because this weekend there were 1013 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:34,200 two guys that went on shooting sprees and killed strangers for 1014 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,960 various different reasons. We know they can't do it. 1015 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,000 Every single time that you guys hear quote UN quote, he was on 1016 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,120 the FB is radar. Some shooter at a school, some 1017 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,440 shooter in a mall, some shooter anywhere else at a bar, at a 1018 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,800 church, he was on the radar. All that tells you is it affirms 1019 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,840 one thing and one thing only. It's not that the FBI is letting 1020 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,600 them go. It's that the government cannot 1021 00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,960 solve this problem. You can't do it with red flag 1022 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,440 laws. You cannot do it by pre crime 1023 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,200 and pre thought. You can only do it through 1024 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:05,760 trying to help heal people around you. 1025 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,480 How many of these people could have been saved if somebody in 1026 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,600 their family had reached out on the day before and just said, 1027 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,640 hey man, how you doing? Hey, I want to come by. 1028 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,360 I haven't heard from you a little bit. 1029 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,000 Want to stop in and just check in on you. 1030 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,840 How many people just like thought, you know, I should pick 1031 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:20,720 up the phone and call that person that I've been, you know, 1032 00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:22,440 not hearing from. I've been kind of thinking about 1033 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:26,840 them, but I'm also really busy. It's our responsibility. 1034 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:32,040 It turns out your cops are not, are not your babysitters. 1035 00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,200 They're not your social workers, the people that work law 1036 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,640 enforcement at the state, federal and, and at the local 1037 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,480 level. None of these people signed up 1038 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:42,200 to be a parent to an adult. And maybe they didn't need that. 1039 00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,000 Maybe they just needed a buddy. I used to tell my wife that 1040 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,920 about counseling all the time. My wife is a she's a master's 1041 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:48,360 degree in counseling. So she used to work as a 1042 00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,400 marriage and family therapist. She used to work as a licensed 1043 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,080 professional counselor. And I used to tell her, all of 1044 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,040 your friends that need counseling, like a lot of them, 1045 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,240 just need a friend. They don't need a strategy and 1046 00:49:58,240 --> 00:50:00,320 they don't need some sort of way to fix this. 1047 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,320 They just need another human being that gives a a rat's ass 1048 00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,520 about how they do that checks in on them periodically. 1049 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,840 Isn't that our responsibility? You don't have to necessarily be 1050 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,360 your brother's keeper, but shouldn't you just keep up with 1051 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,280 your brother, whoever that person is? 1052 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:17,720 We can't do it for everybody, but there's a small circle. 1053 00:50:17,720 --> 00:50:20,440 If every one of us had a dozen people that we kept track of 1054 00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,520 over a period of a month, which is what I used to do. 1055 00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,120 If you have a commute home, some of it you can listen to this 1056 00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:29,240 podcast and some of it you can use to reach out and just talk 1057 00:50:29,240 --> 00:50:30,960 to folks that you haven't talked to in a while. 1058 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,200 Put them on a schedule. Once a week I check in with this 1059 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:34,600 person. Once a month I check in with 1060 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,560 somebody who's a little bit further out on the on the list. 1061 00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,520 I had a mental category of people that I checked in with. 1062 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,800 And so I have dozens of people that I keep track of over the 1063 00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,720 many years of weird places that I've lived. 1064 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,200 Can we not be looking out for our neighbor? 1065 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,320 Not because we want to make sure that they don't do something 1066 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,280 bad, but because we care about them, that we want good 1067 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,840 outcomes? And it'll make you more 1068 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:56,840 empathetic to the rest of it. When I tell you guys that 1069 00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:58,400 community is probably the answer here. 1070 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,960 That's what the that's what the crusade is going to look like. 1071 00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:05,800 I think the crusade is going to look like, how do we go out 1072 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,000 there and look after each other and build a societal structure 1073 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:10,000 that doesn't let people fall through? 1074 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,760 Not how do we legislate it and build government and put a bunch 1075 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:17,080 of sort of like, I don't know, law enforcement armed. 1076 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:19,360 You can't legislate your way out of this. 1077 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:20,920 You can't government your way out of this. 1078 00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:22,520 It just doesn't work. That's just not the way that 1079 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:28,240 we're wired. We are trying to fix this 2020 1080 00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:30,720 thing. We do need to see an 1081 00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:34,760 accountability happen, but I would argue that going after 1082 00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,680 every single bad guy, and I know a lot of people want to see it. 1083 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,400 I think that time has probably passed. 1084 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:43,840 That time was probably 2017 when Trump one point O came in and he 1085 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:45,720 said a precedent. We're not going to go after the 1086 00:51:45,720 --> 00:51:47,240 Hillary Clinton's. We're not going to lock her up. 1087 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,280 We could, but we're not going to. 1088 00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:51,320 And it's a shame. It really is. 1089 00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,000 I think that was a bad decision for this country. 1090 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,520 I think what it did is it gave this this thing that one of my 1091 00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,120 my team sergeants used to talk about. 1092 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,200 Never mistake kindness for weakness. 1093 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,840 The left did that and 2021 through 2025, the beginning of 1094 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:10,760 those, those four years of Biden were an opportunity for the left 1095 00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,880 to mistake kindness for weakness. 1096 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:14,640 And they did it in a big, big way. 1097 00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:16,960 And now they're really crying about it because they don't want 1098 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:18,920 to see the alternate. They don't want to see 1099 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,000 accountability happen. And in some ways they're right. 1100 00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,000 It's kind of like punishing your child like a week afterwards. 1101 00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,200 If I was, if I was on a work vacation or a work work 1102 00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,760 vacation, if I was on a work trip, let's say I'm, let's say 1103 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,880 I'm in Portland and I come back and I find out that my daughter 1104 00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,160 four days ago, who at that time was 3 or 4 years old. 1105 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,160 If my daughter had done something bad and there wasn't a 1106 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,520 proximity to that bad action and I came back and punished her 1107 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,040 right away, it wouldn't have the desired effect. 1108 00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:49,920 It's the same as seeing a puppy. It pees in the corner and then 1109 00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:51,600 an hour later you beat the crap out of it. 1110 00:52:51,720 --> 00:52:53,720 The the puppy doesn't know that it's because it peed in the 1111 00:52:53,720 --> 00:52:56,880 corner an hour ago. You really have to have your 1112 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,320 your discipline and you need to have your reactions happen 1113 00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:03,240 proximate to the actual offense. And that's not necessarily the 1114 00:53:03,240 --> 00:53:06,120 case. So I do see people on the left 1115 00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:07,560 right now are completely bewildered. 1116 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,840 Like, what do you mean we're retouching 2020? 1117 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,960 The way to retouch 2020 is not going to be go back and punish 1118 00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,160 everybody from the previous Trump administration or the ones 1119 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:17,480 before. That's my assessment. 1120 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:18,800 OK, you guys can disagree with me. 1121 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,920 I think the answer is to set policies up such that we don't 1122 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,480 make those same mistakes. And that's a little different. 1123 00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:27,680 And we are seeing that happen in Portland right now. 1124 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:29,160 And I think that is the right answer. 1125 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,840 So here's the here's the confusion that you're seeing on 1126 00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:35,080 the political left right now. People voted for him in huge 1127 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,680 part to bring costs down. The more they watch him focus on 1128 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,960 personal retribution. Yes, it motivates his base. 1129 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,080 Yes, it motivates the Democratic base. 1130 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,200 But for these voters in the middle who are looking for their 1131 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,360 cost of living to come down, for their lives to be better, they 1132 00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,280 say, why are you not focused on what matters? 1133 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,760 I'm I'm stunned to hear you say we're now worried about 1134 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,760 normalizing this kind of thing. We had an what we're about to do 1135 00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:58,200 right now. Let's hear it. 1136 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,480 I'm I'm about to tell you what happened in the state of New 1137 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:03,560 York when the Democratic attorney general ran an entire 1138 00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:08,600 political campaign promising, promising not to uphold justice, 1139 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,120 but to prosecute one person, Donald Trump. 1140 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,120 And I didn't hear a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth 1141 00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,080 among Democrats about normalizing the weaponization of 1142 00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:18,800 justice. That chart you put up there. 1143 00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,480 My question is, do they deserve it? 1144 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,680 If they didn't do anything wrong, I'm not certain anything 1145 00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,320 bad is going to happen to them. Bolton that started under Joe 1146 00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:29,680 Biden. James, I mean, these people that 1147 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,400 you put on the screen, they may have something that needs to be 1148 00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,400 looked at, but don't you have trust in the in the processes, 1149 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,760 grand juries? This is how the system works. 1150 00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,640 OK, so a couple things can be true at once. 1151 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:48,160 If comedy lied to Congress and he technically committed a a 1152 00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,720 felony during that time, then he could be prosecuted. 1153 00:54:50,720 --> 00:54:54,120 I get it. But isn't it interesting that 1154 00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,360 all the people that were on the right that were looking for 1155 00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,000 retribution and looking for correction, every single person 1156 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:05,120 I heard said the same darn thing they said treason, sedition, 1157 00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,960 conspiracy against rights. We're going to go after Jim 1158 00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:09,440 Comedy. We're going to get him for all 1159 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,800 the evil things he did. Here's the thing that is most 1160 00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,120 unsettling. If all they could get him on was 1161 00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,840 a false statement and the potential that he was 1162 00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:20,280 obstructing justice with said false statements, it tells you 1163 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,800 something a little bit darker. It tells you that most of the 1164 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:28,200 things he did were actually legal, not that that they 1165 00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,240 couldn't fall, that they were outside of the statute of 1166 00:55:30,240 --> 00:55:32,320 limitations. No, they were actually legal 1167 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,920 within the parameters of the system that was created. 1168 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,760 So the answer is not like, oh, we should get him on a 1169 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:41,840 technicality. The answer is this system is the 1170 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,760 problem and it has been the problem. 1171 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,080 And so if you fall on the side of the coin that I do as a 1172 00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,400 conservative where you say I don't want weaponized anything, 1173 00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,640 I don't weaponize government, then it tells you that the 1174 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,600 government is the actual issue. And then when they used it, they 1175 00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,920 use that weapon appropriately for their own causes. 1176 00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,920 That's really scary stuff. Consider this. 1177 00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,520 What if you can't go after Obama? 1178 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,280 Because the things that Obama did were, technically speaking, 1179 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,680 legal and they were within the purview and the power that he 1180 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,720 had. The entire federal government 1181 00:56:14,720 --> 00:56:18,080 was set up in an argument in the 1790's. 1182 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,840 The argument in the 1780's the discussion was how strong do we 1183 00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:25,000 make it so it doesn't fall apart and how weak can we keep it so 1184 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:26,720 it doesn't come after us and kill us. 1185 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,440 We have arrived at the point where the anti federalists were 1186 00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:33,840 correct, where the government has grown outside of its bound. 1187 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,880 It needs to be trimmed aggressively to fit back in the 1188 00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,800 box that it belongs in. The answer is not going to be 1189 00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,040 going after the people that did stuff that we don't like on 1190 00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,200 technicalities. The answer is going to be 1191 00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,640 cutting back pieces of that machine that operate as they are 1192 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,720 designed. Because if all you can do is 1193 00:56:50,720 --> 00:56:54,400 find out that Jim Comedy lied and was like in Artful in one 1194 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,120 expression where he didn't believe that somebody was an FBI 1195 00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:00,240 employee because they were an unpaid special governmental 1196 00:57:00,240 --> 00:57:02,160 employee that he brought on because he was his buddy. 1197 00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:06,040 All of that stuff is like majoring in the minors. 1198 00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,680 You're dealing with minutiae when the real problem is we have 1199 00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,480 an FBI director who can order, we're off the books honeypot 1200 00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,720 operations into a current president. 1201 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,640 That's the real danger. I'm going to play you that again 1202 00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,360 because we seem to forgotten that before we do it. 1203 00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,280 Let me take a quick break here to remind you guys that you may 1204 00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:28,040 hear an ad from Spotify right now and you can find Spotify by 1205 00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,680 going to kyleseraphinshow.com. I think that in the the interim, 1206 00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:35,480 if you were just listening to us, you have never been able to 1207 00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:38,520 see some of the video stuff. The ability to switch back and 1208 00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:40,480 forth between audio and video, it's fantastic. 1209 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,600 If you're watching one of the video platforms, no big deal. 1210 00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:44,120 Make sure you're liking, make sure you're sharing it. 1211 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:45,800 Make sure you subscribing to our YouTube channel. 1212 00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:49,000 Really appreciate that. We're almost at 14,000 over 1213 00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,280 there, which means we are. We're about halfway caught up 1214 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,880 with Rumble and it's gotten a meteoric rise over this last 1215 00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:56,200 year. It's been fantastic watching 1216 00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:58,080 people join over on YouTube. So thank you for all the 1217 00:57:58,080 --> 00:57:59,800 chatters that are on YouTube. You guys are great. 1218 00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:01,400 Make sure you guys like the video before you leave. 1219 00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,320 Same story over on Rumble. Appreciate you guys there. 1220 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,120 I want to show you this. This was something that got 1221 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,720 swept under the rug and it's really problematic for one 1222 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:12,840 reason and one reason only. The people within the FBI got 1223 00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,480 the ear of the FBI director. That's going to come into our 1224 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,680 next story. They got the ear of the FBI 1225 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,720 director and they said. This. 1226 00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:22,720 Happened, but it's not what you think it was. 1227 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,320 It's not the problem. It was actually all OK. 1228 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,960 Those people were the mutual admiration societies that exist 1229 00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:32,480 in the orbit of the FBI. So a lot of the danger and 1230 00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,880 damages that have happened to the American psyche and 1231 00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,160 certainly people on the political right historically was 1232 00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:38,520 always the left that was worried about the FBI. 1233 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:40,600 Isn't that funny? And now the right is. 1234 00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,360 If you zoom out far enough, a reasonable person says the FBI 1235 00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,040 has always been a problem. It just goes after whatever 1236 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,760 serves itself. The mutual admiration societies 1237 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:52,040 are the Society of ex FBI Agents or Sock ex FBI and the FBI 1238 00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:56,920 Agents Association or FBI AA. Those groups are captured and I 1239 00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,240 think that they are roughly Marxist organizations at this 1240 00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:00,960 point. But they exist for one reason 1241 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,040 and one reason only, mutual admiration. 1242 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:07,160 They love the FBI because the FBI loves them and the entire 1243 00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:10,800 purpose of those groups are to maintain contact with and 1244 00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,080 influence over the FB is director. 1245 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,680 And that's why you got a backpedaling after a very 1246 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:17,640 salacious story went out in The Washington Times. 1247 00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,160 Carrie Pickett covered it. Cash Patel quashed it on the 1248 00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:24,800 advice of the FBI Agents Association and Sock X FBI. 1249 00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,960 The mutual admiration societies killed this story which was 1250 00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,080 covered by Fox. Listen to how breathless they 1251 00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,800 are and how scandalous this sounds, and then we're going to 1252 00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,480 get into the BLM firing that happened over on a Friday 1253 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,400 afternoon. Trade President Trump's first 1254 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:42,600 campaign by using two undercover agents in a so-called honeypot 1255 00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:44,480 operation. Incredible. 1256 00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:46,720 Todd Pyro joins us with details. Todd. 1257 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,840 This is big. Under the leadership of new FBI 1258 00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:52,720 Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, the Bureau 1259 00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:56,080 has reportedly launched an investigation into the agency's 1260 00:59:56,080 --> 01:00:00,800 plan to infiltrate President Trump's first campaign using two 1261 01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,520 female undercover agents. The Washington Times reporting 1262 01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:09,400 that the program was launched in 2015 by then FBI Director James 1263 01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:12,040 Comedy. The honeypot scheme was actually 1264 01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,160 kept off the books. And according to a 1265 01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:17,600 whistleblower, Comedy's investigation was separate from 1266 01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,560 Crossfire Hurricane. You of course know that as the 1267 01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:24,160 FBI's operation that looked into allegations Trump's campaign 1268 01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:29,120 colluded with Russia. OK, so Patel pushed back on 1269 01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:30,600 this. I actually covered this a couple 1270 01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:32,440 of Fridays ago. And what did he push back on? 1271 01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:35,000 He didn't like the word honeypot because the FBI Agents 1272 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,400 Association didn't like the word honeypot because they didn't 1273 01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,200 want to actually have that sort of connotation that the FBI does 1274 01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:41,560 it. But was it legal? 1275 01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:43,720 It sounds like it might have been. 1276 01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,280 Was it out of FBI policy? Certainly. 1277 01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:49,240 Can the FBI director break policy? 1278 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:53,600 Yes, they can. They can make all kinds of 1279 01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:57,680 movements, which is why when you have this big organization that 1280 01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:01,040 can do things that it ought not be able to do, but it can 1281 01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:05,360 without any sort of technically illegal actions, that's where we 1282 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,760 have a real problem. And that's what we're looking at 1283 01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:09,080 now. One of those things got 1284 01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:12,200 corrected, but it's so far away from the proximate cause. 1285 01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:14,960 And the reason why is because the FBI Agents Association 1286 01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,800 actually covered for this group. What you're seeing on the on the 1287 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:21,880 screen right now are all of the FBI, what we call Neil Team 6. 1288 01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:24,320 If you've never heard that term before, I feel like I actually 1289 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,480 created it. I may have parallel constructed 1290 01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:29,600 it with some other people. Neil Team Six were the FBI 1291 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:35,240 agents wearing FBI body armor marching around in June of 2020 1292 01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,800 that took a knee for BLM despite the fact that there was no 1293 01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:42,280 danger, there was no de escalation required and it was 1294 01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:45,440 spun over and over again and Chris Wray embraced them. 1295 01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,240 Apparently everyone that took a knee in this photo and that were 1296 01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:52,040 out there on this quote UN quote presence patrol, you can see 1297 01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:53,840 they're wearing masks. The ones that are not wearing 1298 01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,640 masks, what are they doing? They're smiling, they're not in 1299 01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,520 danger, there's no threat there. They took a knee because they 1300 01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,960 thought it was the right thing to do socially and one of the 1301 01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:06,920 major reasons they did it because you'll notice 123456789. 1302 01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,600 Of the 12. People I see on screen, at least 1303 01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:16,400 nine of them are women, and they took a knee for BLM because 1304 01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,600 they're women, because women are agreeable. 1305 01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,800 That's what women do. They try not to create social 1306 01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:23,360 strife. It's a survival instinct. 1307 01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:26,240 I don't hate that, but isn't it interesting as we have an 1308 01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,440 argument about whether men can be women and women can be men 1309 01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:29,560 and who should be in the military? 1310 01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:31,680 And if you have a confusion about that, there's also 1311 01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:34,120 something to be said about certain personality types that 1312 01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,280 are going to cave to public sentiment. 1313 01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,360 And that is exactly what I think happened here. 1314 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,200 The supervisors on scene, Amy Oakes, she's in the back there 1315 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,400 with the white mask. Sarah Linden, she's about to 1316 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:44,720 take a knee. She's the hefty girl. 1317 01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:49,280 Those people took knees and they're females. 1318 01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,640 And almost all of the people that took knees we saw get 1319 01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:55,560 promoted so aggressively. How interesting. 1320 01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:58,800 I want to read you the story here that comes from CBS, which 1321 01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:00,840 is 100% critical of what just happened. 1322 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,640 Again, the danger is, is that you spank the puppy. 1323 01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:07,640 But it was years after the fact. They got hugged by Chris Ray. 1324 01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:10,120 They got defended by Larissa Knapp, who is the executive 1325 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,200 assistant director of the National Security Branch. 1326 01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:15,560 When she retired. She was the the special agent in 1327 01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,440 charge of counterterrorism at the Washington Field office when 1328 01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,040 this went down and she yelled at me about this. 1329 01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,440 So this has been a story that I have been aggressively think 1330 01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,040 it's weird to take these scalps because that's what we've been 1331 01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:29,680 calling him here to grab 20 or 22 or 15 or however many people 1332 01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,080 were fired. I don't really feel great about 1333 01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:33,840 it, but I also think that it had to happen. 1334 01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,160 It just happened so far afterwards that we've lost the 1335 01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,640 impact of what this message was supposed to be because all of 1336 01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,880 these people got promoted. They got five years longer on 1337 01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:44,080 the job than I did, so I guess there's that or three years 1338 01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,000 longer. Leaders from the FBI have 1339 01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,160 removed more than a dozen agents who knelt for BLM in the summer 1340 01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:52,120 of 2020 in Washington, DC during the Black Lives Matter protests. 1341 01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:54,080 Many of these agents had already been demoted or put on 1342 01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:55,600 administrative leave. Apparently there was some sort 1343 01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,160 of like half measure that was done in April. 1344 01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:01,200 One source said that the termination letter to the agent 1345 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,440 cited their lack of judgement, which is true. 1346 01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:06,680 This is a tactically unsound move and dangerous. 1347 01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,080 The agents had been photographed kneeling after an encounter with 1348 01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,560 protesters during the demonstration that followed 1349 01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:13,520 George Floyd's death in May of 2020. 1350 01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,880 This was, I believe, in June, if my memory serves, Kneeling 1351 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:20,000 angered some of the FBI, but was also understood as a possible de 1352 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:22,440 escalation tactic. I'm going to debunk that for you 1353 01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:25,120 right now. The oversight Project, my friend 1354 01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:29,800 Mike Howell actually published a letter that went as a it was an 1355 01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:34,640 unattributed letter from from an FBI agent at Washington Field 1356 01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:37,720 where I was working on June the 12th of 2020. 1357 01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,600 So again, this was June and this event that took place, the 1358 01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:43,760 kneeling was on June the 4th. There was a couple of people 1359 01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:46,120 that got together and wrote a letter to Chris Wray. 1360 01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,760 Now it went nowhere, but let's read this real quick. 1361 01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:50,800 We're writing to address the situation that occurred on June 1362 01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,040 the 4th, 2020, in which some agents of the Washington Field 1363 01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:55,560 Office knelt at the demand of protesters in the District of 1364 01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:57,520 Columbia. We feel it necessary to a voice 1365 01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,920 our opinions on this event for we believe to abstain from doing 1366 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,520 so would be a disservice to our organization and our mission. 1367 01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,520 There are two lens which ones can view this situation. 1368 01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:10,200 The first is that agents who did so knelt under duress for fear 1369 01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:12,240 that failing to kneel would incite violence for the 1370 01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:14,200 protesters. And the second is to view the 1371 01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,840 agents as making a choice to kneel, either as a political 1372 01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,360 statement or for the convenience of following social pressures at 1373 01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:21,080 the time. Are we being fair? 1374 01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,400 They were being fair. I just said the same thing to 1375 01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:25,800 you at did I not? It's our belief that in either 1376 01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,320 event, the agents ended up making a profound public 1377 01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:30,600 statement and a political statement on behalf of the 1378 01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,640 Bureau. And after viewing all available 1379 01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:36,600 video and photographs of this incident, it is evident that the 1380 01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:40,120 agent's actions were not taken under duress, but rather by 1381 01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:42,200 choice. This has been my claim since the 1382 01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:45,080 beginning and it's nice to see that other people saw it at the 1383 01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:48,200 time. The agents lack of duress can be 1384 01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,720 clearly seen in the photographs and the videos as the group 1385 01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:53,760 smiled and clapped, even fist pumped in solidarity with the 1386 01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:56,080 protesters. Further photographs of the 1387 01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:59,560 incident show a clear path of escape for the agents if they 1388 01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:02,960 had in fact been under duress. Additionally, one other FBI 1389 01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,760 squad patrolled a nearby area that same afternoon and met with 1390 01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,720 the same group of protesters had much closer proximity. 1391 01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,640 This squad did not succumb to the demands to kneel, and those 1392 01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:13,920 agents were not met with violence. 1393 01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:17,920 So as I understand it, these people were in fact removed and 1394 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,520 they were done. They were removed after an OPR 1395 01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:22,960 investigation, which is the FBI's internal affairs process. 1396 01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:25,000 And that did the job that it was supposed to do. 1397 01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:29,440 But it took an awful long time. And those people likely did not 1398 01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,680 actually see the proximate cause of what they did. 1399 01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,760 And then the eventual punishment that happened after the fact, 1400 01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:37,760 that should have been dealt with swiftly. 1401 01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,360 Instead, what you saw was five years of encouraging this type 1402 01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:43,920 of behavior, which I think resulted in the stuff that went 1403 01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,800 on on January 6th. Imagine if the Trump, if the 1404 01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,360 Trump administration had actually nipped this in the bud 1405 01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:54,640 right then, if they'd said, Nope, Chris Ray, you need to be 1406 01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:56,880 dealt with. Chris Ray was influenced by the 1407 01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:59,040 people at the Washington Field office who are part of that 1408 01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,760 mutual admiration society. You're not going to hear me weep 1409 01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,840 or shed any tears for anybody on the screen that lost their job. 1410 01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:08,880 And also, I don't think it's going to have the required 1411 01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:12,080 effect, which is that people in the FBI are like, aha, we cannot 1412 01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:14,800 engage in leftist policy. No, I think we're going to see a 1413 01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,000 little bit more. And the reason is, is because 1414 01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:20,120 you keep putting people into this office that keep having the 1415 01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:24,240 same types of behaviors. They are too little too late, 1416 01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:27,440 far too long after the original inciting incident, and they are 1417 01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:30,320 not effective. And that includes what they just 1418 01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:32,640 did with these folks. You know, even though this is a 1419 01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:35,160 win and Patel did the right thing on this at the long run, 1420 01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,960 they started investigating this in February on his first couple 1421 01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:40,160 days. And the reason I know that is 1422 01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:42,200 because the people who started doing that investigation, 1423 01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,520 they're friends of mine. They did this investigation in 1424 01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,280 good faith, but they were not given resources to go out and do 1425 01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,120 it overtly. They were trying to do it in a 1426 01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,480 sneaky way so as not to offend anybody. 1427 01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,080 And that is not how you make an aggressive touch on this 1428 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:58,480 organization. We actually understand John 1429 01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,960 Brennan's statement here. He's saying these people cannot 1430 01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,320 move on. The reason we can't move on is 1431 01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:04,920 because of all the bad things that happened. 1432 01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:08,000 But the only argument for moving on is that we are now going to 1433 01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,640 adjust our tactics, that we have corrected those tactics, and we 1434 01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:14,040 are no longer going to have these things happen to us again. 1435 01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:18,399 Instead, what you see is we're going to try to re adjudicate 1436 01:08:18,399 --> 01:08:20,840 things from the past and we are going to be so far away from the 1437 01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,200 proximate injury that we're not actually going to have a desired 1438 01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:25,600 effect. I actually agree with what he's 1439 01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:27,640 saying, but not the reason why he's saying it. 1440 01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:29,680 If you will listen to this, this is coming from MSNBC. 1441 01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:33,000 And it's very, very unfortunate that again, Donald Trump and 1442 01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:36,560 his, you know, people who are supporting him refuse again to 1443 01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:39,840 acknowledge that and move on. We have so many challenges 1444 01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,560 around this world. I was, you know, quite frankly 1445 01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,439 appalled by what I heard at the United Nations from Donald 1446 01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,600 Trump. We have so many challenges that 1447 01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:50,479 we really need to bring this country together to focus on as 1448 01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:54,000 opposed to continuing to go back 810 years and trying to re 1449 01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,359 litigate things that have been, I think, appropriately 1450 01:08:57,359 --> 01:09:01,359 addressed. They weren't appropriately 1451 01:09:01,359 --> 01:09:02,720 addressed. That's the part where he's 1452 01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:04,720 wrong. But I think they might be too 1453 01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:06,040 far away. There's a reason why we have a 1454 01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:08,160 statute of limitations. It's because the cause is so far 1455 01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:10,680 in the back that we can't actually get a real good grab on 1456 01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:13,479 it. Nevertheless, we're getting sort 1457 01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,120 of hollow statements coming from Pam Bondi. 1458 01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:16,640 I'm not real keen on this kind of stuff. 1459 01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,800 I'm OK with the idea, I just don't like the execution. 1460 01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:21,479 When I was growing up, my dad used to say this all the time. 1461 01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,880 Good idea, bad execution. That was when you had a good 1462 01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:26,760 plan, but your rollout was not excellent. 1463 01:09:27,279 --> 01:09:29,479 That would be a great way of categorizing some of this stuff 1464 01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:31,319 here. I think it's fair to say that 1465 01:09:31,319 --> 01:09:34,800 the mindset is not wrong, but the actual implementation is. 1466 01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:38,000 Whether you're a former FBI director, whether you're a 1467 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:41,399 former head of an Intel community, whether you are a 1468 01:09:41,399 --> 01:09:44,920 current state or local elected official, whether you're a 1469 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:48,000 billionaire funding organizations to try to keep 1470 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,200 Donald Trump out of office, everything is on the. 1471 01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:54,800 Table We will investigate you and we will end the 1472 01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:57,200 weaponization. No longer will there be. 1473 01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:01,200 Be A2 tier system of justice and we are working hand in hand. 1474 01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:05,120 Director Patel and I Todd Blanche with our incredible 1475 01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:08,160 Intel community. Tulsi Gabbard John Tulsi Gabbard 1476 01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:11,040 John Radcliffe going non-stop around the clock. 1477 01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:16,320 People will be held accountable. Why is it every time that I see 1478 01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:19,160 Pam Bondi talk, it looks like she's like taking deep breaths 1479 01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:21,640 and she's saying things off like a weak teleprompter like her? 1480 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,240 Her ability to speak extemporaneously is so low. 1481 01:10:24,440 --> 01:10:26,960 It's really strange. I, I, I just, I'm always turned 1482 01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:28,480 off on it. I keep waiting for her to say 1483 01:10:28,480 --> 01:10:31,560 things like we just need more maps such as the Iraq, like a 1484 01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:34,080 beauty queen girl from South Carolina. 1485 01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,000 That's kind of what I they have the same energy to me. 1486 01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:40,800 It's not entirely convincing. But I think I think the scarier 1487 01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:42,240 thing is this, look, this is another story here. 1488 01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:44,640 This is coming from NBC. Trump says he would think that 1489 01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,280 the DOJ would be investigating former FBI Director Chris Wray. 1490 01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,360 And you would think that, right, because he falls directly within 1491 01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:52,240 the statute of limitations. Everything he did was within the 1492 01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:55,000 last five years, including this or most of the things he did. 1493 01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,480 So I would agree. I think the scariest thing is, 1494 01:10:58,480 --> 01:11:02,240 and we have to, we have to accept this, most of what was 1495 01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:08,920 done by Brennan, by Clapper, by comedy, by Ray was actually in 1496 01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:12,600 line with what those authorities of those jobs are. 1497 01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:17,600 They actually have the ability to execute things with a broad 1498 01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,760 latitude the way that they did. And therefore there's not a 1499 01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:22,440 crime there. Even though we're all offended 1500 01:11:22,440 --> 01:11:24,880 by it, even though we all think it was terrible, even though we 1501 01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:28,000 had an election that I think was a slap down of this information. 1502 01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:32,280 The fact the matter is, is that Pam Bondi has wide latitude to 1503 01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:34,640 do all kinds of things, but it turns out she still has to 1504 01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:36,440 operate within the law. And guess what? 1505 01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:41,000 So did Merrick Garland. He had the ability to do things 1506 01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:44,560 that were truly wrong. Remember one of my whistle 1507 01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:48,040 blower allegations, my first one that most people heard about was 1508 01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:49,640 about parents at school board meetings. 1509 01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:52,720 But I want to be super clear right now, because Merrick 1510 01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:56,320 Garland actually had the ability to go out there and tell the FBI 1511 01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:59,560 to investigate parents at school board meetings. 1512 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:02,280 That was within his purview. That is not a whistle blower 1513 01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:05,400 disclosure that I made. What he didn't have the ability 1514 01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:09,280 to do was lie about it. Do you see how subtle that is 1515 01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:11,520 and why it actually says the thing they were doing is 1516 01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:12,480 something they were allowed to do? 1517 01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:15,200 I've been very, very cautious about this whenever you hear 1518 01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:16,800 people. I actually had a guy that was on 1519 01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:19,240 some very large YouTube channel the other day who was making 1520 01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:21,680 allegations about what I said as a whistle blower to Jim Jordan. 1521 01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:23,480 And he was like, oh, he was an anti vaxxer. 1522 01:12:23,480 --> 01:12:25,440 And he was talking about how parents, you know, we're being, 1523 01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:27,920 you know, unfairly investigated at school board meetings. 1524 01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:30,040 False. That's a false statement. 1525 01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:34,320 What I said was, is that you cannot go out and tell Congress 1526 01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:37,000 we are not going to use counterterrorism resources and 1527 01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,200 then have the FBI counterterrorism assistant 1528 01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:41,440 director send out a memo saying we're going to be using those 1529 01:12:41,440 --> 01:12:43,960 resources against parents. You cannot lie to Congress 1530 01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:47,200 during oversight, but you can totally investigate parents at 1531 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:49,640 school board meetings. You can find all kinds of 1532 01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,240 reasons to do that. And for anyone who was AJ Sixer 1533 01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:55,160 or had friends that were J Sixers, you understand that they 1534 01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:57,840 can mobilize the entire weapon system to come after people. 1535 01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,600 And they did so under the authority and the color of law, 1536 01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:03,720 and they did so properly. The problem is, is that if 1537 01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:05,800 you're me, you think that the weapon system should be 1538 01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,960 dismantled, not that a new person should hold the weapon. 1539 01:13:09,480 --> 01:13:13,600 OK, You're not going to hear me cry about James comedy, period. 1540 01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:15,480 You're not going to hear my tears for that guy. 1541 01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:19,200 I think he's a narcissist. I think that he is a legend in 1542 01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,200 his own mind and operated as such. 1543 01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,360 And some of the the behaviors that he had were totally 1544 01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:28,880 pathological and they were also within his purview as FBI 1545 01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:31,000 director, which is why he got fired. 1546 01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:33,560 That's what we can do. The answer should have been make 1547 01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:36,160 a smaller FBI and not give them the ability to go after people 1548 01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:39,680 and not give them FISA authority and not give them the ability to 1549 01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:41,760 go out and do all kinds of intelligence investigations with 1550 01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:43,120 no allegation of criminal activity. 1551 01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:45,160 This has been the ongoing supposition we have. 1552 01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:48,080 Here's a little taste of why nobody feels sympathy for James 1553 01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:52,240 Comedy on the right, because this is truly mean spirited and 1554 01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:54,120 nasty. But it doesn't mean the things 1555 01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:57,280 he was saying are not legal. And they were not even legal 1556 01:13:57,280 --> 01:13:58,960 uses of the FBI. It turns out they were. 1557 01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:03,360 Do you agree with the strategy of focusing on the Oath Keepers 1558 01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:08,320 and focusing on prosecuting that group of individuals 1st in 1559 01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:11,400 order for it to be a deterrent, you've got to throw the net 1560 01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:13,480 wide. Get all of them, both the 1561 01:14:13,480 --> 01:14:17,800 organized groups, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, but find everybody 1562 01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:21,560 who went into that building. Find them all again, Not because 1563 01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:24,280 of my concern that those people committed a misdemeanor are 1564 01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:27,040 going to, they're going to go into the community and reoffend. 1565 01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:29,520 The message has to be sent of 0 tolerance. 1566 01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:33,720 We will find everyone and punish everyone who went in there so 1567 01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,560 that no one does it again. We will hunt you to the end of 1568 01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:39,680 the earth, even for a misdemeanor, and make you pay 1569 01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:43,720 for that to send that message. This is the same guy that spoke 1570 01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:46,840 at my graduation where I was taught explicitly that the FBI 1571 01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:49,440 does not waste its time on misdemeanors. 1572 01:14:50,480 --> 01:14:52,720 So he clearly was politically motivated with this thing. 1573 01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,400 That's very clear to me from listening to his words. 1574 01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:57,760 Cast a wide net, go after misdemeanors. 1575 01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:01,320 Name a misdemeanor offense that was prosecuted stand alone by 1576 01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:03,320 Jim Comedy when he was the FBI director. 1577 01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:06,640 I would suggest to you that they were not even allowed as policy. 1578 01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:09,640 We would have been I had I turned away major felonies where 1579 01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:12,040 10s of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars were 1580 01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:15,040 defrauded from people because our bar was in the millions. 1581 01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:18,520 You're going to go after a misdemeanor rating charge 1582 01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:20,480 because somebody happened to be physically in a place where you 1583 01:15:20,480 --> 01:15:23,320 didn't like it. Now you're playing politics. 1584 01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:25,440 And again, they have that ability. 1585 01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:28,200 Patel has that ability. Ray had that ability. 1586 01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:29,960 We should be concerned about that. 1587 01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:33,440 Don't give these people the out. This is a story that was from 1588 01:15:33,440 --> 01:15:35,280 CBS. Amy Klobuchar saying it's 1589 01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:38,000 appalling that Trump is accused FBI agents of being in the 1590 01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,120 crowd. Trump said it badly over the 1591 01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:42,520 weekend, folks. He said things that were likely 1592 01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:44,400 untrue. He said now we need to 1593 01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:46,400 investigate this. You are being distracted. 1594 01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:49,160 This is a laser pointer. The problem is, is that the 1595 01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:52,520 agency has too much power that it is dangerous to Americans 1596 01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:55,680 writ large, regardless of your political stance. 1597 01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:57,840 Again, get rid of your confirmation bias. 1598 01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:01,240 Assume that the FBI is just interested in doing what's best 1599 01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:04,120 for the FBI and you will suddenly understand why it can 1600 01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:07,480 go after you and after BLM people at the exact same time. 1601 01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:11,560 Then you don't give Amy Klobuchar any talking points on 1602 01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:13,200 this. Here's Chris Ray being asked 1603 01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:15,920 questions when you let them wiggle around like this because 1604 01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:18,400 people who know the FBI are able to get away with it. 1605 01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:21,160 He's probably not saying anything false in this statement 1606 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:24,440 and we're acting like he did. Two were there in an undercover 1607 01:16:24,440 --> 01:16:26,840 capacity on January 6th. How many were there? 1608 01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:30,680 Again, I I'm not sure that I can give you that number as I sit 1609 01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:31,960 here. I'm not sure there were 1610 01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:34,600 undercover. Agents on scene. 1611 01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:39,200 I find that kind of a remarkable statement, Director. 1612 01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:43,320 At this point, you don't know whether they're undercover 1613 01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:48,720 federal agents, FBI agents, in the crowd or in the capital on 1614 01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:51,680 January 6th. I I say that because I want to 1615 01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:53,680 be very careful. There been a number of court 1616 01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,640 filings related to some of these topics and I want to make sure 1617 01:16:56,640 --> 01:17:00,240 that I stick within what's in. I I understand that, but I I 1618 01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:04,400 just, I thought I heard you say you didn't know whether there 1619 01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:10,720 were FBI agents or informants or human sources in the capital or 1620 01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:12,800 in the in vicinity on January 6th. 1621 01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:14,720 Did I misunderstand you? I thought that's what you said. 1622 01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:17,400 I referred very specifically to undercover agents. 1623 01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:20,040 Yeah. And so are you. 1624 01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:24,400 I referred very specifically to undercover agents. 1625 01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,080 Why did he do that folks? Because technically he's 1626 01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:29,840 correct. Because being an undercover 1627 01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,120 agent in the FBI is very specific. 1628 01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:35,440 All agents are in plainclothes. All agents have the ability to 1629 01:17:35,440 --> 01:17:39,320 tell you something false. I used to sit in a non 1630 01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:42,120 undercover role in somebody's neighborhood and if you knocked 1631 01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:43,720 on my window and asked me what you're doing, I would tell you 1632 01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,000 I'm with the Postal Inspection Service or I'm part of the US 1633 01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:47,400 Marshals. If you if you made me as law 1634 01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:49,240 enforcement, I might tell you I'm part of a neighborhood 1635 01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,040 watch. I can lie to you with impunity. 1636 01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:52,200 I don't have to tell you anything. 1637 01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:54,560 True, but I wasn't an undercover agent. 1638 01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:57,840 And even though I'm sitting in regular clothes looking like you 1639 01:17:57,840 --> 01:17:59,800 guys saw me, you guys are getting a kick out of the the 1640 01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:00,960 lumberjack outfit. Yeah. 1641 01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:05,280 This is like a this is just a Costco flannel Plaid shirt that 1642 01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:06,440 I wore when I was working in Portland. 1643 01:18:06,440 --> 01:18:07,880 I had a couple different color stuff like that. 1644 01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:09,680 And it's like, OK, you just look like a guy in Portland. 1645 01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:12,720 You know, I had a picture underneath there of the of the 1646 01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:15,840 state of Utah and it was shooting a pine tree out. 1647 01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:19,200 I don't have to tell you anything as a federal agent, but 1648 01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:23,080 I wasn't an undercover. Undercover is a program. 1649 01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:26,720 It is a certification that's like you asking, let me give an 1650 01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:29,320 example for those who who have a previous experience in in 1651 01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:33,400 military, let's say, let's say if I went up there and said, you 1652 01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:37,200 know, were there any soldiers in the crowd last night? 1653 01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:43,840 And I said there were absolutely no infantrymen in the crowd and 1654 01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:48,400 people would go, oh, I see. So, so there were not any 1655 01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:50,600 soldiers in the crowd there. I thought they were like members 1656 01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:51,680 of the United States Army in there. 1657 01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:55,280 You're like, there was no member of our infantry marching around 1658 01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:56,920 in the crowd. Do you see how I'm talking past 1659 01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:58,520 it? An infantryman is a very 1660 01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:02,440 specific and exclusive subset of the broader speaking term 1661 01:19:02,440 --> 01:19:04,480 soldiers, which refers to everybody in the Army. 1662 01:19:04,480 --> 01:19:07,720 Does that make sense? It's really critical to 1663 01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:09,600 understand that they are playing a game. 1664 01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:12,480 Chris Wray, he even double s down on says I'm very 1665 01:19:12,480 --> 01:19:15,320 specifically talking about undercovers because he probably 1666 01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:19,240 knows they didn't authorize any specific undercover, undercover 1667 01:19:19,480 --> 01:19:21,960 authorization. That doesn't mean that they were 1668 01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:23,320 not plainclothes people that were in the crowd. 1669 01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:25,160 I know for a fact that there were people in the crowd that 1670 01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:27,120 wanted to be there. They took time off to go out 1671 01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:28,720 there and they were protesting because they were pissed about 1672 01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:30,760 what happened to Trump. So that's a thing. 1673 01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:33,840 We have to be very careful where the stuff comes from. 1674 01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:36,640 All right? I want to talk about Portland 1675 01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:39,600 because Portland is maybe the most important retouch of all of 1676 01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:41,760 these things. There are multiple news stories 1677 01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:45,160 right now where everybody is upset and everybody wants to get 1678 01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:47,160 involved. This is coming from NPR. 1679 01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,800 Three things to know about Trump's plan to send troops to 1680 01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:52,480 Portland and also to Memphis. He says he's ordered the 1681 01:19:52,480 --> 01:19:53,880 deployment of troops to Portland. 1682 01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,320 He's authorized to use full force to curb protests outside 1683 01:19:57,320 --> 01:20:00,680 of ICE facilities. And in the latest, he wants to 1684 01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,920 deploy military troops into various cities that are plagued 1685 01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:04,600 with crime. No, I'm sorry. 1686 01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:07,200 They aren't plagued with crime. He says are plagued with crime. 1687 01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:10,720 This is NPR after all, with federal troops expected to rise 1688 01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:12,000 in Memphis later this week as well. 1689 01:20:12,440 --> 01:20:15,160 One expect a legal fight. Well, that's going to happen. 1690 01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:18,280 I can show you that the the state of, of Oregon is actually 1691 01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:20,560 suing. He's called Portland war 1692 01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:22,760 ravaged, which is not the case on the ground. 1693 01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:24,880 They say it definitively because they are totally not doing 1694 01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:26,880 editorials. That's pretty funny. 1695 01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:29,800 What else should we expect? Trump has been making these 1696 01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:32,520 threats for months. He's been talking about cracking 1697 01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:36,280 down on these facilities. And lastly, the larger picture 1698 01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,720 is becoming clear that the National Guard is not trained 1699 01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:40,400 for community policing or to make arrests. 1700 01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:42,240 And that's not generally how they use when they've been in 1701 01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:44,040 DC. They've mostly been patrolling 1702 01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:45,800 federal property and beautifying city parks. 1703 01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:48,720 Guess what's really interesting about beautifying city parks? 1704 01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:52,240 When places look nice, people tend to act as they as they 1705 01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:55,520 should in that environment. When people are living in spaces 1706 01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:59,280 that look like this where Mad Max clowns are running around 1707 01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:02,160 with freaking swords. I, I kid you not, when I walked 1708 01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:04,520 around in Portland, my wife and I were talking about this over 1709 01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:06,760 the weekend. I carried a tomahawk with me 1710 01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:09,520 because I knew it was a melee weapon that was capable of 1711 01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:12,000 defending me over and over again and I didn't have to reload it. 1712 01:21:12,480 --> 01:21:16,240 I also carried a gun that had like I loaded with, with cotton 1713 01:21:16,240 --> 01:21:19,320 gloves on. I was a federal agent with a, 1714 01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:22,160 with the authority to carry a firearm on an airplane and in 1715 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:24,600 any city in America. And I also knew that if I went 1716 01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,360 to Portland and I got involved in saving my own life with 1717 01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:30,680 lethal force, I would probably be prosecuted by the AUSA there 1718 01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:32,560 and I probably would have never been able to see my family 1719 01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:35,120 again. So I made sure that if I had to 1720 01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:37,960 have a deniable weapon system, which is a really unsettling 1721 01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:41,360 thing to say if you're in law enforcement right now, imagine 1722 01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:43,720 the idea that you might need a drop gun not to be able to put 1723 01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:45,440 on someone that you arrested because you needed them to 1724 01:21:45,440 --> 01:21:47,800 understand what was going on. Like, you needed to like, fake, 1725 01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:49,120 like you needed a reason to take them down. 1726 01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:51,800 No, you needed a drop gun so that if you shot somebody and 1727 01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:54,920 you abandoned the weapon system that you would not be found. 1728 01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:57,440 Do you understand? Not because you were not 1729 01:21:57,440 --> 01:22:00,720 justified in using force, but because the system was set up to 1730 01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:03,000 come after you and protect like the a holes that you see on the 1731 01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:05,840 screen here that were running around in the snack van or this 1732 01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:09,480 clown that's got a skateboard and a freaking sword made out of 1733 01:22:09,480 --> 01:22:11,520 rebar. Do you know how scary that is? 1734 01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:15,880 Because that's how scary it was. There I sat wearing body armor 1735 01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:19,480 underneath my my, my hoodie almost every night. 1736 01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:23,240 And I had six people surround my vehicle when I was miles away 1737 01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:25,400 from a protest because they called in my license plate. 1738 01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:28,120 Because this was an organized group of people trying to do 1739 01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:31,680 violence and they were looking for federal, they were looking 1740 01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:34,040 for federal officers or agents that were involved. 1741 01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:35,760 And they didn't care if they were right or wrong. 1742 01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:37,440 They ran off a couple of our guys. 1743 01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:40,360 We disengaged because we were not authorized to stay there and 1744 01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:42,760 hold our ground. That's why we need this touch 1745 01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:46,560 because a lot of these people learned the exact wrong lesson 1746 01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:49,120 from 2020. So retouching 2020 in a 1747 01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:52,160 different way is very good. I'm going to read you this story 1748 01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:54,040 about Portland that's going to go and do this lawsuit. 1749 01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:56,560 Portland has filed A lawsuit against the Trump 1750 01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:58,200 administration. Again, NPR is correct about 1751 01:22:58,200 --> 01:22:59,120 that. There will be law fair. 1752 01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,080 After the president said he's going to send troops to 1753 01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:03,560 Portland, the attorney general, Dan Rayfield, announced on 1754 01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:04,560 Sunday that they were going to do it. 1755 01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:08,560 This comes after Secretary of Defense, AKA the Secretary of 1756 01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:13,360 War Pete Hegseth, sent a memo to Governor Tina Kotek, an openly 1757 01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:16,920 lesbian, the first openly lesbian governor of Oregon. 1758 01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:20,160 I found out she dresses like a man, just not a particularly 1759 01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:22,080 attractive man. That's neither here nor there. 1760 01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:23,840 It's just funny that like, that's the first thing that it 1761 01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:25,800 says in her bio, that she wants you to know that she's openly 1762 01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:27,280 lesbian. So if if it's important to her, 1763 01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:30,520 it's important to me, I guess. They are authorizing 200 members 1764 01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:32,640 of the National Guard to do what? 1765 01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:36,560 To be deployed around to protect federal property where protests 1766 01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:39,560 occur. The lawsuit said that Trump 1767 01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:42,240 lacks the authority to federalize the National Guard. 1768 01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:44,720 Turns out that California already tried this in Los 1769 01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:45,960 Angeles and they were knocked down. 1770 01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,520 They're going to do it again because everything has to be 1771 01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:52,480 processed is the punishment. Let's kind of consider what's 1772 01:23:52,480 --> 01:23:55,960 going on there. Let's kind of do a little a 1773 01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:59,720 little take on how this works. I want to show you a city 1774 01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:03,720 Councilwoman in Portland that is going to attempt to quote UN 1775 01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:08,920 quote, resist getting their city back into order to to rid 1776 01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:10,800 themself of some of the some of the nonsense that's been going 1777 01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:11,960 on. And then I want to show you kind 1778 01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:14,480 of like back-to-back this flower protest and then some beatings, 1779 01:24:14,480 --> 01:24:16,800 which are pretty fun too. I don't know, one of the best 1780 01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:18,680 things that came out of this weekend was like watching a 1781 01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:20,960 harder touch on people that really, really needed to be 1782 01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:22,840 spanked like toddlers. All right, so here's what 1783 01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:25,480 council is currently looking into right now. 1784 01:24:25,480 --> 01:24:29,400 Some of our offices are looking into doing a ban on ICE agents 1785 01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,240 being able to mask up and not be identified. 1786 01:24:32,440 --> 01:24:34,400 This has been a huge issue because people are getting 1787 01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:37,600 kidnapped off of our streets and it could be just any random guy 1788 01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:39,880 in a mask telling you that he's a federal agent when it could 1789 01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:42,280 just be a kidnapper. So obviously that's a huge 1790 01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:43,680 issue. There are folks at the 1791 01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:47,040 congressional level that are trying to get a mask ban passed, 1792 01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:49,960 but they might not have the votes to do it. 1793 01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:53,240 And again, because of the supremacy clause, we are trying 1794 01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:55,720 to look into any and all options, but that doesn't mean 1795 01:24:55,720 --> 01:24:58,400 that we are going to be able to pass something that will 1796 01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:00,280 actually be able to be implemented. 1797 01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:03,320 Councillor Samir Kunal is researching policies regarding 1798 01:25:03,320 --> 01:25:05,880 munitions and tear gas because we know that's something that is 1799 01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:08,560 heavily impacting the health of our residents in Portland. 1800 01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,600 My office has taken more of the data and surveillance privacy 1801 01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:14,720 approach because I think that the next frontier of fighting 1802 01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:17,680 fascism is going to be immense government surveillance. 1803 01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:21,120 So that includes anything from license plate readers to facial 1804 01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:24,360 recognition technology. And it would be really helpful 1805 01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:26,200 if people who. Are on the ground who are able 1806 01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:29,400 to see some of that technology that ICE is using if you could 1807 01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:32,040 photograph it and send it to. To our offices, that's all 1808 01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:34,640 information that we can use to try to figure out where we need 1809 01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:37,760 to target because it's not freely available to us all of 1810 01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:39,480 the tools that they have at their disposal. 1811 01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:43,880 OK, you cannot do anything about what the federal government 1812 01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:45,560 wants to use when it comes to tools. 1813 01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:48,000 You can't. You're not able to do that. 1814 01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:51,080 That's not an opportunity that you have as a as a City Council 1815 01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:54,520 member in Portland. If the federal government wants 1816 01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:57,920 to employ license plate readers, it's not fascism and you can't 1817 01:25:57,920 --> 01:25:59,280 stop them. There's a supremacy clause, 1818 01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,520 which she stated you cannot mandate that they not wear 1819 01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:03,080 masks. You have no authority on them 1820 01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:04,200 and they don't have to listen to you. 1821 01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:07,320 I have walked away from cops who were trying to stop me when I 1822 01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:08,960 was doing my job as a federal agent. 1823 01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:11,680 I've driven away from cops who had their lights on when I had 1824 01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:13,160 no license plates. And I was driving into those 1825 01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:16,920 protests in 2020 in Washington, DCI drove away from Virginia 1826 01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:18,160 State Police. I just drove on. 1827 01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:19,840 I just didn't stop. There was no reason to. 1828 01:26:20,440 --> 01:26:21,480 They had no authority to stop me. 1829 01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:23,240 So I just kept going. And the guy was confused. 1830 01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:24,640 He pulled up next to me. He's like, what the hell? 1831 01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:26,360 And here I am dressed up FBI van. 1832 01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:29,240 Like I got FBI body armor on. I'm in quote UN quote plain 1833 01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:30,640 clothes, although it looked kind of tactical. 1834 01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:34,160 And I just kept driving. So what you're seeing right now 1835 01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:35,720 on the screen, for those of you that are seeing and you're 1836 01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:37,120 hearing some traffic in the background, if you're just 1837 01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:38,200 listening, this is a good thing to see. 1838 01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:41,640 This is a flower protest. This is a silent marching 1839 01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:44,920 protest for people who are laying down flowers at the ice 1840 01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:46,720 facility. This is how they are going to 1841 01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:48,840 quote UN quote resist. There's a man wearing a woman's 1842 01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:52,440 spaghetti strap little tiny tank top that's super gross. 1843 01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:55,840 There's a bunch of like real nasty gnarly Lib tards that are 1844 01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:59,160 from Oregon. There's some really odd ducks in 1845 01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:01,520 Oregon and, and in Portland specifically. 1846 01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:04,920 The sad thing is it's an absolutely beautiful state and 1847 01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:07,240 it has such a great potential. What you're showing here is the 1848 01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:09,120 mean, mean ice people. They've got everything all 1849 01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:12,360 boarded up, all the glasses all covered and they're laying 1850 01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:16,120 flowers down and people are, are, are throwing the thumbs 1851 01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:19,440 down sign silently. They're flicking off the the 1852 01:27:19,440 --> 01:27:23,200 federal agents silently. They're all giving exactly what 1853 01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:27,040 they want to see in the world. They're sharing how angry they 1854 01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:30,160 are. OK, I'm not a terrorist. 1855 01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:33,880 This lady says. The guy wearing a chicken suit 1856 01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:36,600 says Portland will outlive him talking about Donald Trump. 1857 01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:38,800 There's the the man wearing the spaghetti strap. 1858 01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:41,600 OK, This is how ridiculous these people are. 1859 01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:44,600 That went until it got dark. This is the same way it was when 1860 01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:47,280 I was in Portland. Everybody was peaceful. 1861 01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:50,240 Everybody was demonstrating, everybody was marching and had 1862 01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:53,160 something to say until it got dark and they thought they could 1863 01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:55,840 get away with shenanigans. And then you start seeing stuff 1864 01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:58,680 like this. I would be totally fine if your 1865 01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:01,680 entire protest was dropping flowers on the ground. 1866 01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:04,120 That's not where it ends. It ends with you getting dragged 1867 01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:06,680 into those exact same gates that they are flicking off just a 1868 01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:13,560 little bit later. Here we go, somebody threw a 1869 01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:15,920 helmet. You got 8 guys dragging somebody 1870 01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:18,960 like a rag doll right into those gates that they were flicking 1871 01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:21,040 off a few minutes earlier. And then you're going to see the 1872 01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:22,880 riot tops come out and here they are. 1873 01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:25,080 They've got the right equipment on, they've got helmets, they've 1874 01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:28,400 got gloves, they've got eye protection, they've got pepper 1875 01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:30,520 ball guns. And you're going to see there's 1876 01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:32,520 that exact same space that all the flowers are. 1877 01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:34,040 They were just stepping on on the right hand side of the 1878 01:28:34,040 --> 01:28:35,160 screen. This is the post Millennial 1879 01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:37,360 showing some. And suddenly those same people 1880 01:28:37,480 --> 01:28:40,280 that were peaceful and friendly are all wearing gas masks and 1881 01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:42,760 they're all ready for violence. Isn't that something? 1882 01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:47,880 It's truly craziness to see it. This is why we need a do over 1883 01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:50,560 from 2020. This is why we need another 1884 01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:54,240 touch on some of this stuff because these people are not 1885 01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:56,880 making sense and the people that don't make sense, they all kind 1886 01:28:56,880 --> 01:28:59,400 of have that same sound. They sound like that city 1887 01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:02,080 Councilwoman. They sound like the women that 1888 01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:04,760 we're going to see here. They sound kind of like Kamala 1889 01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:07,800 Harris if given enough time. Word salads and nonsense. 1890 01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:09,760 This is what we're talking about. 1891 01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:13,400 We're talking about absolute ideological leftist that believe 1892 01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:16,720 that the system is the problem and that the person can be 1893 01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:18,560 redeemed. The person is inherently good. 1894 01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:21,800 Well, we can see that people are not always inherently good. 1895 01:29:22,480 --> 01:29:24,800 They can pretend to be good and put flowers down and they can 1896 01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:27,960 immediately turn around and do the other thing, like try to 1897 01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:30,440 fight with cops. So this is kind of an 1898 01:29:30,440 --> 01:29:32,320 interesting little exchange. This is a man who's talking 1899 01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:34,800 about, hey, maybe we could talk about that. 1900 01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:37,240 Not everybody is good. Some people are mentally ill, 1901 01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:39,720 some people break bad. Some people are just always bad. 1902 01:29:40,440 --> 01:29:43,760 It's a human condition. This bill is really focused on 1903 01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:47,080 punishment, and I just want to look at these types of 1904 01:29:47,080 --> 01:29:48,520 considerations with a bigger lens. 1905 01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:52,160 We're talking about people, we're talking about victims. 1906 01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:54,720 We're talking about. Perpetrators, We're talking 1907 01:29:54,720 --> 01:29:57,360 about human beings doing things to other human beings that 1908 01:29:57,360 --> 01:30:00,120 should not be done, and what are we going to do about that? 1909 01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:05,240 And again, what this bill says is that when you get your third 1910 01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:13,000 violent felony conviction, we're done. 1911 01:30:13,440 --> 01:30:16,840 Like we're not playing like I, I passed that point. 1912 01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:20,720 I don't know if I care if you've ever become a productive citizen 1913 01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:24,000 because you have opted out of productive society. 1914 01:30:24,200 --> 01:30:29,720 Your third violent felony conviction, I don't know how 1915 01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:33,120 interested I am in making sure you get educated and you you get 1916 01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:35,920 a like. At that point, you're talking 1917 01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:40,920 about a chronic dysfunction in a person's ability to be a member 1918 01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:44,040 of society. And past that point, it is the 1919 01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:48,480 responsibility of those of us who govern society to protect 1920 01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:51,920 everyone else, to protect everyone who is functional, who 1921 01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:55,880 isn't harming their neighbor, who isn't violating the rights 1922 01:30:55,880 --> 01:30:57,680 of others. I'll give you some stats that I 1923 01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:01,400 know are solid and that. He goes on to talk about some 1924 01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:06,200 juveniles who had hundreds of victims between like 6 guys, 6 1925 01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:10,400 young men who were juveniles and got engaged in felonious 1926 01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:15,160 activity and violence. It's some people just don't want 1927 01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:17,600 to be part of the social system and maybe we can Co opt them in 1928 01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:19,240 at a young age. But if you can't at some point 1929 01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:21,720 in time, he's right. We have to kind of cut bait 1930 01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:24,120 there. We got a lot of real gentle, 1931 01:31:24,120 --> 01:31:29,160 soft, positive parenting in 2020 for the angry toddler toddler 1932 01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:30,920 like whatever they were tantrums that were going on in the 1933 01:31:30,920 --> 01:31:33,600 political left and they learned the wrong lessons. 1934 01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:38,680 So it's suicidal empathy, it's compassion, it's it's kindness 1935 01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:42,680 for weakness, right. The mistake, it is time to come 1936 01:31:42,680 --> 01:31:44,680 in with a hand, but it needs to actually be proximate to the 1937 01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:47,080 cause. And you can start in your own 1938 01:31:47,080 --> 01:31:48,040 house. You can start in your own 1939 01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:52,560 community and like I do it and I don't even want to do it. 1940 01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:55,120 I feel weird doing it. But like when I see people like 1941 01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:58,320 not disciplining their children and their children are acting in 1942 01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:00,880 a completely antisocial manner, I'm going to do it. 1943 01:32:01,200 --> 01:32:02,840 Apparently you need someone else to do it. 1944 01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:04,200 It's either going to be me or a cop. 1945 01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:08,840 So when your kid wants to run up this the the slide, when there's 1946 01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:11,560 a 2 year old coming down the slide and it's made for two year 1947 01:32:11,560 --> 01:32:14,280 olds and your 10 or 12 year old wants to run up and doesn't care 1948 01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:17,120 about little kids safety, I'm going to backhand them off the 1949 01:32:17,120 --> 01:32:21,400 slide for safety. They're the little ones because 1950 01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:23,000 I care about kids. And then I'm going to look at 1951 01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:26,080 them very meaningfully and say don't do that because you should 1952 01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:28,840 have done that as a parent. Sorry, real simple. 1953 01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:31,200 And if my kid does it and you happen to take my kid off the 1954 01:32:31,200 --> 01:32:34,120 slide because they're acting like a little A hole, so be it. 1955 01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:38,160 I cannot imagine some of the sort of disrespect that young 1956 01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:40,680 people have and they grow up into those adults that drop 1957 01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:43,080 flowers and then show up later and try to fight with ice 1958 01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:45,200 officers. And I wonder if they come from 1959 01:32:45,200 --> 01:32:47,560 people who are children of the community. 1960 01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:52,200 Well, as Kamala Harris said, the children of the community are 1961 01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:54,400 the children of the community. That means the community does 1962 01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:56,000 have a role. I don't actually disagree with 1963 01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:57,320 her, even though she sounds drunk and crazy. 1964 01:32:58,160 --> 01:33:00,840 Let's do some words out. I'm not going to call a trigger 1965 01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:02,120 warning, but Kamala Harris warning. 1966 01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:04,760 You know, one of my favorite things to see, and it would 1967 01:33:04,760 --> 01:33:09,680 always happen spontaneously at our rallies and thousands of 1968 01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:14,920 people would come and there it would happen is invariably 1969 01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:19,040 somebody would want me to take a picture of the hub, their child 1970 01:33:20,080 --> 01:33:26,080 and someone in the back would hand that baby over through the 1971 01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:33,040 crowd up to you people who would pass the baby but pass the baby 1972 01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:39,040 and then pass the baby back. And I don't know, there was 1973 01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:41,240 something about that when it would happen. 1974 01:33:42,120 --> 01:33:44,880 I mean, I could be very emotional about it right now, 1975 01:33:44,880 --> 01:33:50,120 but but but, you know, I believe that we should always feel that, 1976 01:33:50,120 --> 01:33:52,880 you know, the the children of the community are the children 1977 01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:54,360 of the community. Yeah, yeah. 1978 01:33:54,800 --> 01:33:57,320 Of all of us, that. Our next leaders, our next 1979 01:33:57,320 --> 01:34:01,120 thinkers, our. Next and that we all participate 1980 01:34:01,120 --> 01:34:05,800 in caring about that child and in caring for that child. 1981 01:34:06,600 --> 01:34:08,680 And there was just something about that and. 1982 01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:11,560 Seeing the baby. Travel from the parent, yes, and 1983 01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:13,960 the parent. Look, I'm speculating here, but 1984 01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:16,840 I think that's a gay guy talking to a childless woman in her 50s. 1985 01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:18,920 What a weird, weird moment we're living in right now. 1986 01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:20,680 All right, if you guys are watching, make sure you like us 1987 01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:22,240 over on Rumble, like us on YouTube. 1988 01:34:22,240 --> 01:34:24,040 If you're on X, do the same thing. 1989 01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:26,320 Locals you can find. This is Kyle seraphin.com. 1990 01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:27,920 If you want to see any of the articles that are referenced 1991 01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:29,960 today, do that. Check out us over on Spotify. 1992 01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:31,080 We'd really appreciate if you did. 1993 01:34:31,320 --> 01:34:33,840 It's Kyle seraphinshow.com. It's super easy to do. 1994 01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:36,560 I won't torment you anymore. Let's get a reaction to that 1995 01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:39,880 drunken breakfast, whatever nonsense that was because it 1996 01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:42,000 turns out that our vice president actually said it 1997 01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:45,280 correctly. And for all of his book tour and 1998 01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:48,600 talking about, oh, Kamala Harris, 107 days of this, this 1999 01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:51,240 is probably the funny this is I actually do like JD Vance. 2000 01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:53,200 I think he's smarter than Trump for whatever, it's worse for all 2001 01:34:53,200 --> 01:34:54,960 of you guys out there. I like him more than Trump 2002 01:34:55,480 --> 01:34:57,680 because maybe because we're closer in age and he seems like 2003 01:34:57,680 --> 01:34:58,800 he's got the right amount of Milton. 2004 01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:04,200 He's also not mean, but he is. He's very accurate with this 2005 01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:05,000 fire. Check this out. 2006 01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:07,400 The problem is not that Kamala's campaign was too short, is that 2007 01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:09,920 it was too long. That when people actually listen 2008 01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:12,680 to what she had to say, her polling went down and down and 2009 01:35:12,680 --> 01:35:14,720 down. I think that if we had had 150 2010 01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:17,120 day campaign, we probably would have had three additional 2011 01:35:17,120 --> 01:35:19,840 Republican senators and Donald Trump would have won by an even 2012 01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:22,280 bigger landslide. Because the more people know 2013 01:35:22,280 --> 01:35:24,880 about Kamala Harris, the more they realize there's no 2014 01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:26,960 substance there. I mean, agree or disagree? 2015 01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:29,680 With Barack Obama or Bill Clinton, they actually had 2016 01:35:29,680 --> 01:35:31,440 substance. They could actually articulate A 2017 01:35:31,440 --> 01:35:34,320 viewpoint. I listen to Kamala Harris for 90 2018 01:35:34,320 --> 01:35:37,160 seconds and I actually feel like I've gotten Dumber in the 2019 01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:40,480 process and I have no idea what she actually believes. 2020 01:35:40,720 --> 01:35:42,760 That's the problem with Kamala Harris and it's going to 2021 01:35:42,760 --> 01:35:44,800 continue to be her problem. And let's see, she actually 2022 01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:48,120 learns how to develop a viewpoint, articulate it for the 2023 01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:50,000 American people. Just say what you actually 2024 01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:52,440 believe. Don't do this word salad talking 2025 01:35:52,440 --> 01:35:54,440 around in circles. It doesn't work. 2026 01:35:54,480 --> 01:35:57,880 And it's why she didn't win. OK, Brilliant. 2027 01:35:58,040 --> 01:36:00,160 Actually, that's a broader problem for people on the 2028 01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:03,080 political left, the hard left, not people that are liberals 2029 01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:05,360 that we can have like, good faith debate with because there 2030 01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:07,080 are people like that and I see them all the time. 2031 01:36:07,480 --> 01:36:09,720 No, I'm talking about hard leftists that are not being 2032 01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:12,400 disavowed by their own party and by their own system because they 2033 01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:14,760 don't get it. They're living in La La land. 2034 01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:16,960 And they actually think that the reason that Kamala Harris didn't 2035 01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:19,000 win was because of racism and misogyny, I guess. 2036 01:36:20,440 --> 01:36:22,720 I think the people came out and spoke and said, yeah, we want 2037 01:36:22,720 --> 01:36:24,680 something. We want to retouch. 2038 01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:28,480 We want to revisit the stupidity that happened at the end of 2020 2039 01:36:28,480 --> 01:36:30,560 and and maybe all the way through all that COVID chaos. 2040 01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:33,880 What we'd like to see it done is, is like as an adult, say 2041 01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:36,120 real things, do real meaningful actions. 2042 01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:37,920 De weaponize government would be great. 2043 01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:39,760 By the way, The left will benefit from it just as much as 2044 01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:42,000 we will. They'll benefit right now and 2045 01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:43,840 then we'll benefit the next time that they're in power. 2046 01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:47,280 We could have a good faith society if we have that, or we 2047 01:36:47,280 --> 01:36:49,040 can keep doing this thing where we do tit for tat and see how 2048 01:36:49,040 --> 01:36:50,760 many people we can really, really destroy. 2049 01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:53,880 Again, you know, you're in an interesting space when JD Vance 2050 01:36:53,880 --> 01:36:56,640 makes a point and Bill Maher is making the same point. 2051 01:36:57,320 --> 01:36:59,800 I say JD Vance is probably a little bit more moderate than I 2052 01:36:59,800 --> 01:37:04,760 am when it comes on the right. Bill Maher, he's liberal, but 2053 01:37:04,760 --> 01:37:08,400 not a wild leftist all the time, and he's moderated on Trump even 2054 01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:09,840 because he got to meet the guy. It turns out. 2055 01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:11,360 Isn't that something? You go out and meet your 2056 01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:13,080 neighbor, you go out and meet somebody and you realize that 2057 01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:14,280 there's a human being behind that face. 2058 01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:16,240 Isn't that fun? I'm going to give you guys a 2059 01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:17,440 palate cleanse in one second. Maybe. 2060 01:37:17,440 --> 01:37:18,800 You know what? This is the palate cleanse. 2061 01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:21,320 Let's just take a breath when Bill Maher says the same thing 2062 01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:24,840 that JD Vance says. He could have had 701 days and 2063 01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:27,280 would have still lost that race. 107 days. 2064 01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:30,520 Way too many for anybody but including her. 2065 01:37:31,120 --> 01:37:33,720 But the more they got to know her, the less they liked her. 2066 01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:35,880 I've said this many times on this show. 2067 01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:39,240 Other countries don't do this. They don't have years to run. 2068 01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:43,160 They they call an election and they have an election in, in a 2069 01:37:43,160 --> 01:37:43,640 month. Yeah. 2070 01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:48,360 And nor the influence of money. We should do that, right? 2071 01:37:48,600 --> 01:37:49,880 That's going to be hard to get rid of. 2072 01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:54,120 That's right. But one of it, you know, it's 2073 01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:57,840 like you don't need 100 days. You need 107 days. 2074 01:37:57,840 --> 01:38:00,760 You tell people your plan. This is what I am for. 2075 01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:02,880 This is my thing. You're selling something. 2076 01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:05,600 You're selling a vacuum cleaner. If I'm selling a vacuum cleaner, 2077 01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:07,200 I'll tell you why I think it's best. 2078 01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:09,960 I'm going to tell you every God damn day for two years. 2079 01:38:11,440 --> 01:38:13,600 Did I tell you about the attachment that gets under the? 2080 01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:17,440 Yeah, you did. You told me 1000 times. 2081 01:38:18,720 --> 01:38:20,920 They told you all the things and nobody wanted it. 2082 01:38:22,720 --> 01:38:24,720 That seems pretty reasonable. I'm kind of behind that. 2083 01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:26,520 I like the idea of a shorter campaign season. 2084 01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:28,000 Also, I really actually hate politics. 2085 01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:30,320 Guys, if we don't have to talk about politics because it wasn't 2086 01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:32,920 a life threatening thing for all of us, my life would be better 2087 01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:34,880 too and I would be probably less stressed. 2088 01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:37,360 I probably wouldn't have an FBI directors girlfriend suing me 2089 01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:39,200 because of the political pressure that he was dealing 2090 01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:40,400 with because he wasn't good at his job. 2091 01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:42,280 That's my final shot on that one. 2092 01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:45,120 I hope you guys have a fantastic afternoon on this Monday. 2093 01:38:45,120 --> 01:38:47,080 I hope you come back and listen again tomorrow. 2094 01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:50,880 We go live at 0930 Eastern Time.
