00:06:30.000I should actually just do the full-on keto.
00:06:32.000And then I just went, you know, full into it and said, all right, all the sugar's out.
00:06:36.000And so I've been doing maybe like 20 grams of sugar per day.

00:07:47.000Let's talk about this big news we've got from the post-millennial.
00:07:51.000Minnesota Bank & Trust moves to cancel MyPillow founder's bank accounts.
00:07:56.000The accounts in question are Lindell Management, Lindell Outreach, Lindell Recovery Network, Lindell TV, Lindell Foundation, Lindell Publishing, Frank Speech, Michael Lindell Personal, and MyStore.
00:08:06.000It's kind of crazy, they've gone after everything associated with this guy.
00:08:10.000The announcement came on Friday's episode of War Room, where host and former Trump advisor Steve Bannon played a recording of a telephone call between a top executive at Minnesota Bank & Trust and Lindell's controller.
00:08:20.000The executive stated during the call that the bank, a subsidiary of Heartland Financial, had concerns about being connected with someone who could be in the news.
00:08:27.000Quote, not that the FBI is even sniffing and looking.
00:08:31.000But what if somebody came and said, do you know what?
00:08:34.000We are going to subpoena all of his account records and this and that, and then all of a sudden we make the news.
00:08:57.000You think it's just as Mike Lindell's a big famous guy?
00:08:59.000CNN's gone after regular people over memes.
00:09:03.000So yeah, if a bank is saying we don't want to be involved with someone in the news, well we know these media companies are willing to go after regular people and little old ladies.
00:09:10.000I would not feel safe banking with that company.
00:09:12.000I don't believe the reputation excuse at all, especially when you look at the history of big banks, especially institutions like HSBC and their money laundering for drug cartels knowingly doing so.
00:09:24.000When you look at what they did with Jeffrey Epstein, especially Deutsche Bank, that literally had to settle a fine of over $150 million because they ignored all of his red flags.
00:09:34.000Jeffrey Epstein was able to bank with JP Morgan and Chase, Citibank, Deutsche Bank.
00:09:52.000He of course then went into Bitcoin and then had a 50,000% increase of his money and is estimated to have around $37 million because of that switch from Bitcoin.
00:10:04.000This political debanking is nothing new.
00:10:05.000The big banks are, of course, tied into big government, the intelligence agencies.
00:10:10.000And I think this is another lesson showing that, yes, they all work together in many extensive ways, which is absolutely troubling because it's becoming more and more political by the day.
00:10:19.000I think this is a big red flag for centralized banking in general.
00:10:23.000You see the amount of control that I think is desired from this.
00:10:28.000If you want to buck the system and all the money is controlled by one person, then you don't get to have any money anymore and live in this world with no money.
00:10:42.000Yeah, I would have a couple things to say about that.
00:10:44.000One is the astonishing and really unfortunate thing is there is a certain case to the reputational argument, which is to say that in the present regime, you're worse off reputationally being Michael Lindell and associating yourself with Donald Trump in various ways than being somebody like Jeffrey Epstein.
00:11:05.000They're just as a result of the peculiar hierarchy of taboos that exists in the regime.
00:11:13.000And secondly, I think it really speaks to this point that anyone in Liddell's position
00:11:18.000who speaks out against the regime in various ways, debanking is what the United States
00:11:24.000government does to adversary governments.
00:11:27.000It is the domestic recapitulation of economic sanctions.
00:11:33.000And so it needs to be understood, I think, broadly in this context of the government and its associated institutions wielding its power domestically.
00:11:42.000against American citizens for political purposes.
00:11:44.000Do you think that the government told this bank to do this, or was this just a private
00:13:14.000I think that's one big move you can make, but there's still the problem of a credit union still being a private institution who can ban you.
00:13:19.000And so I think what we're seeing from here is the power of cultural enforcement over, say, legal enforcement.
00:13:26.000You don't need to make something illegal.
00:13:28.000You don't need to violate someone's rights to still violate their rights.
00:14:04.000Journalists do this stuff as an attack and they know they're doing it, the way they ask the question.
00:14:09.000For what business, for what public good, do we need to understand why a bank provides banking services to a person of a certain political persuasion?
00:14:19.000Everybody has a bank because people have banks.
00:14:21.000So a journalist who contacts a bank and asks those questions knows what they're doing and why they're doing it.
00:14:26.000That's interesting the way you said everybody has a bank and uses a bank, because that's kind of what we believe, what we're brainwashed to believe growing up.
00:14:33.000But like you're saying, Darren, the government can just sanction anybody at any time, anything.
00:14:37.000And that's a common tool that it uses in the war against its adversaries is shut off the bank.
00:14:44.000If you look at the way that the Americans have been kind of pushing their will on the world, economic sanctions, economic warfare, are their main ways of achieving a lot of their objectives.
00:14:55.000They go to a country and they say, hey, we're going to take away your ability to even have money in the world if you don't implement this policy.
00:15:02.000And this is what the United States does.
00:15:03.000This is nothing even compared to the World Bank and the IMF.
00:15:07.000And if you look at the stories of the economic hitman, if you look at what really happens behind the scenes with a lot of these banks and powerful people all around the world, it is absolutely corrupt and sinister to see the corruption that really is happening that we don't even know about.
00:15:24.000So what happens to Lindell and their various other cases, he's not the first, as you point out.
00:15:31.000It is the analog to, you know, using the leverage of the SWIFT system to cut out, you know, foreign adversaries or to use that leverage to pressure them to do something we want.
00:15:44.000It's an extension of the same basic principle and done for the same reasons.
00:15:48.000Do you have any information on the SWIFT banking system?
00:15:56.000I mean, it's just, you know, the United States government essentially controls it.
00:16:00.000It's essential for any kind of transactions that go through, particularly in dollars.
00:16:05.000And it's a major part of being able to participate in the global economy.
00:16:10.000And particularly in the past five years or so, the United States has really leaned on economic sanctions because there's no appetite for war since Iraq.
00:16:21.000There's just no public appetite for war.
00:16:23.000And so it's sort of the middle ground that they can use to really be severe but not send troops into a place.
00:16:30.000And so they've leaned on these sanctions and the cost is it really puts pressure on the US dollar.
00:16:35.000There's only so much Pressure the dollar can take having to sustain the United States foreign policy objectives before the pillars collapse, but they've been leaning on it very hard.
00:16:48.000And the result is Russia and China have been talking and cooperating and thinking about developing alternatives to the SWIFT system and so forth.
00:16:57.000So ultimately it might be counterproductive, but we love to sanction people economically.
00:17:03.000overseas and that's what you see more domestically because the domestic
00:17:07.000political adversaries like Michael and Dell are considered enemies in just the
00:17:12.000same way that the US government considers Iran an enemy. I remember man
00:17:17.00012, 13, maybe even long maybe even like 14 years ago you know Alex Jones is
00:17:22.000talking about one world currency, global currency.
00:17:27.000All these people on the internet were talking about the Amaro, that there was gonna be a Canadian, Mexican, American currency.
00:17:32.000And that always confused me, because I was like, can't you just use your credit card any country you go to?
00:17:38.000And so within only a few years, I'm traveling around the world working for Vice, and I've got a visa card.
00:17:44.000And I go to all these countries and swipe it with no questions asked.
00:17:47.000I walk in, I'd say, you know, let me get the schnitzel when I'm in, you know, Israel, whatever, and then swipe.
00:18:16.000And when they've got AI that is tracking all of the transactions, they know who you are, where you are, what you're doing, and you don't even realize.
00:18:24.000People are like, I can use Bitcoin to buy things you're not supposed to buy.
00:18:27.000It's like, dude, they know who you are.
00:18:28.000That's if you let people know your address.
00:18:30.000So if no one knows your address, you could still... Well, there's different ways of finding out.
00:18:34.000Amazon and Jeff Bezos are working on a lot of different technological advancements that would kind of break Bitcoin and make sure they could track, trace, and database everything.
00:18:50.000A lot of, you know, ANCAP's libertarians thought it really was, but they don't need to know your address To see the transactions made and then have an AI just calculate it was you, based on the things you post on social media, based on the phone you use, your Mac address.
00:19:36.000It, like, flips around, you can manipulate it, and you can take your phone, set it up so you can, you know, record yourself with your phone, or record people with your phone.
00:19:43.000The funny thing is, I posted a video to my Instagram of me playing my guitar, and I was trying to set my phone up, and I'm like, this is so annoying, like, how do you get your phone to stand up?
00:20:36.000She didn't know she was pregnant the algorithm knew that when women start looking up certain items certain foods Before they even realize that the computers know they're pregnant and sent the information to her dad because she still lived with them That's so I'm telling you man with bit with Bitcoin if you think they don't know who you are and what you're doing You are wrong.
00:20:55.000It's all public but but there's Zcash.
00:23:05.000That's a great question, and the video itself really tells the story.
00:23:10.000And so, for any of your listeners, your audience, and I know you have an audience of, you know, the full political spectrum, I encourage everyone, if you're curious about what really happened on January 6th, take my challenge.
00:23:23.000Go to revolver.news, read this piece in particular, watch the video, and then look at me with a straight face, look at me in the eye and tell me that Well, Ray Epps is the person we heard.
00:23:35.000Ray Epps is in the mountains of documentary video evidence of January 6th.
00:23:55.000The video that we saw was on January 5th, and he's going to all different types of groups with different agendas saying, we need to go into the Capitol.
00:24:14.000He's a veritable Where's Waldo figure.
00:24:17.000He's there telling the crowds, after the Trump rally, go to the Capitol where our problems are.
00:24:23.000And then at 1253 p.m., by the way, this is as Trump was still speaking, so this guy, Ray Epps, who's such a big Trump fan, he's wearing his Trump hat, he flies all the way to D.C.
00:24:34.000from Arizona and skips the actual Trump rally in order to hang out at the Capitol And to orchestrate, evidently, the first and decisive breach of the Capitol barricades, which is interesting, given what he was saying on January 5th.
00:24:49.000And so there he is right by the Capitol barricades, 1253 p.m.
00:24:55.000He whispers into someone's ear, that person is called Ryan Samsell.
00:24:59.000Two seconds later, Samsell engages in the first breach.
00:25:18.000And the this in this case was a bear spray.
00:25:21.000So he's already anticipating people going into the Capitol and fulfilling this mission that he was calling for the night before.
00:25:30.000And so the amazing thing about Epps is, in the midst of all of these random grandmas and random people who are being slammed with the most draconian charges imaginable for basically nothing, many people wallowing away in solitary confinement indefinitely, this guy Ray Epps is untouched.
00:26:17.000Whatever it is, the story of Ray Epps, whoever he is, maybe he's not a criminal informant, maybe he's not a Fed, maybe he's just some guy, he has completely discredited the entire January 6th committee narrative for one reason.
00:26:30.000Adam Kinzinger, who's on the committee, who's retiring from Congress by the way, said on Twitter on January 11th that Epps was on video the day before saying, quote, we're going into the Capitol.
00:26:43.000Yet he goes on to say that he never went in the Capitol and therefore, you know, he cooperated and his name was taken off the most wanted list.
00:27:00.000If it's not in any way an infraction or criminal activity to tell people overtly on more than one occasion to enter the Capitol, then what is their claim against Donald Trump in this regard?
00:27:10.000Right, and the negligence with respect to Epps does not exist in a vacuum.
00:27:14.000The most compelling thing about this that really points to some explanation like he
00:27:18.000was a Fed is the selective non-prosecution to compare the neglect of Epps in relation
00:27:25.000to the severe charges against much more minor people for far less egregious offenses in
00:27:35.000So it doesn't make any... For instance, Ray Epps says to one individual, he said, when we go in, leave this here.
00:27:41.000Well, there was another individual called George Tanios, who was originally charged with basically conspiracy to murder an officer on the basis of when his friend was asking Let me have the bear spray.
00:27:59.000On the basis of saying, no, no, not yet, they charged him with serious charges.
00:28:05.000And yet Epps is saying, when we go in, leave this here and nothing.
00:28:10.000Clearly showing he had planned the entrance.
00:28:14.000Following through with the fact that the last night he was saying, go into the Capitol and he's whispering in the guy's ear two seconds before the initial breach.
00:29:24.000Here you have a guy who was in the Oath Keepers, overtly saying, down to the Capitol, and he's not It's not just that they're not charging him.
00:29:31.000I don't know why any of that's going on.
00:29:33.000It's that Adam Kinzinger is actively downplaying what he did, and I don't know why.
00:29:38.000I mean, there's no, if there's an innocent explanation for the Epps issue in particular, because he was originally on the FBI's most wanted list and they quietly took him off and didn't want to hear from him again.
00:29:52.000And in fact, the only additional remark they had on him before this blew up on a national scale was Phoenix FBI agents denying knowledge that he even exists, which is remarkable because he's from Arizona.
00:30:05.000Is it confirmed that his name is Ray Epps?
00:30:37.000That's, you know, that's the question I would have.
00:30:40.000If he's, you know, from the video evidence... Maybe he had Oathkeeper Communications, and they said he can provide encrypted communications and access to their whole network, because he was a president, but he wants immunity, and they said deal.
00:30:53.000The problem is, Look, you know, Adam Kinzinger comes out and he's like, this is a conspiracy theory.
00:30:58.000Not only is he not an agent, he's not even an informant.
00:31:35.000So now they can drop all the Trump stuff and they can now, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Madison Cawthorn, all of these Republicans who they're accusing of incitement.
00:31:46.000By Kinzinger's own words, that's all done with.
00:31:50.000And you make fun of me for messing up words.
00:31:52.000Anyway, this is an interesting situation because it does, you know, suggest that there was some kind of federal involvement here.
00:32:01.000I mean, obviously we're gonna find out through the Oath Keepers court case that's going to be happening very soon if there was, you know, someone that released information, if someone gave them something.
00:32:13.000But again, There's also something that's odd about the timing of the U.S.
00:32:19.000government going after the Oath Keepers all the way up until now, almost a year after this entire incident.
00:32:27.000It raises a lot of important questions, especially surrounding the pipe bomber that also placed pipe bombs all throughout Washington, D.C.
00:33:11.000It's like when they initially called on the public to identify Epps.
00:33:14.000It's clearly disingenuous because the internet identified him and they did nothing with it.
00:33:19.000And similarly, in this Pipebond case, which is very interesting for a number of reasons, in the Pipebond case, they provide to the public just very limited, grainy, ridiculous video.
00:33:31.000And we know for a fact they have more video because the video itself is not continuous, we know that there are more cameras in the area, we know that there's better resolution stuff, and so it's just not a genuine effort on the part of the So I kind of wanted to ask you, and I don't know if it's fair to go off into the realm of speculation, but there's some people assuming that the pipe bombs were placed there in case the people wouldn't storm the Capitol, and that was used as another pretext.
00:34:00.000Some people are arguing and speculating that.
00:34:03.000Of course, we don't have any evidence, but Darren, how would you speculate everything unfolded in Washington D.C.
00:34:15.000In relation to the pipe bomb in particular, there are a number of possible explanations.
00:34:18.000One is simply that the bombs were there as certainly it makes for a scary headline that feeds into the narrative that the media wants, but also it had a diversionary function too.
00:34:32.000The Capitol already had limited security personnel, and when they called in the pipe bombs, the law enforcement actually addressed the pipe bombs Basically contemporaneously, coincidentally enough, with that first breach that Ray Epps was involved in.
00:34:51.000I think it was about an hour before the first breach at that barricade, the security went door-to-door to members of Congress and told them to leave the building.
00:35:16.000I mean, it's kind of crazy to think that if it wasn't for this person who put these pipe bombs out, AOC might have actually been caught in people storming the Capitol.
00:35:24.000Of course, she lied and fabricated that whole story.
00:36:23.000I'm like, yes, AOC fabricated the claim, the whole story.
00:36:28.000Some cop did knock on our door and he said, ma'am, we're evacuating the building.
00:36:32.000I still find it crazy that bombs were placed all throughout Washington, D.C.
00:36:38.000and our national security state that has NSA agents literally caught doing unspeakable things to themselves in a pleasurable way to people's private photos that they were not supposed to have.
00:36:47.000The NSA that knows almost every little thing about you.
00:36:50.000The phone that knows when you crap couldn't find the person that put bombs all throughout Washington, D.C.
00:36:58.000It's even more peculiar when you think of all the other reasons that they would have had to have enhanced security on that day.
00:37:05.000It would be a scandal unto itself if the Capitol building had normal security.
00:37:10.000But in fact, the Capitol building had uniquely poor security on a day that was sure to be politically charged and requires additional security.
00:37:23.000But on January 5th, there was this so-called Hippies for Trump van.
00:37:28.000And this Hippies for Trump van was stopped right outside of the Department of Justice with explosives and firearms in it.
00:37:36.000And in fact, one of the people who was in the van turned out to be one of the curious characters caught on video methodically cutting down fencing and barriers as Trump was still speaking.
00:38:19.000I get the feeling that the, the, maybe it's the news or whatever, isn't going to really tell us about the real threats because they don't want us to panic.
00:38:28.000So like the pipe bombs, they played that down if it was a real threat, but it's the stuff that they want you to focus on.
00:38:34.000That's tends to seem like it's not really a threat.
00:38:37.000Like they, they want to get you wired up and confused and angry about something that can just be there.
00:38:43.000But like, while they're secretly investigating the real threats.
00:38:47.000By the way, cherry on top to this, originally the guy on video, the FBI guy, DC field office guy, who did the public service announcement to the public saying we need your help identifying the pipe bomber, this was a guy called Steven DiAntonio and his previous job was running the Detroit FBI field office where he basically ran the infiltration operation that's now known as the Michigan Kidnapping Plot.
00:40:22.000Kitzinger buys it, you know, completely.
00:40:25.000I was joking, by the way, for those that may have not bought into that.
00:40:28.000Some people will be like, is he serious right now?
00:40:31.000My point is, You know, we can sit here and have an adult conversation about things we want answers to, and you'll get smears in the media that it's conspiracy theorizing to simply question whether or not the government could be lying to you.
00:40:41.000Well, I mean, the Gulf of Tonkin is an example of the government lying to you.
00:40:45.000They lied to you, they told you that their ship was fired on by Vietnamese war vessels or something, and it wasn't.
00:40:52.000But right now one of the big stories too, and I don't want to get too much into it, is that Russia, US Intel, Russia is preparing to false flag attack their own troops to justify an invasion of Ukraine.
00:41:02.000And I tweeted this saying, no false flags are conspiracy theories, no government would attack their own people to justify an invasion of any other country.
00:41:10.000You can't because false flags don't exist, so you can't do it.
00:41:34.000It's funny because this conversation is a conversation ten years ago I'd be having with a bunch of leftists like anarcho, you know, antifa types.
00:41:41.000Where they'd be like the American empire and the economic hitmen and South America and now they're the ones who are basically like, oh, the government can't be wrong.
00:41:49.000Well, this thing, it's new for people on the right and that's one of the hurdles psychologically.
00:41:54.000As I said, the political psychology of the right is largely that they want to venerate just and well-functioning institutions of authority.
00:42:03.000I think people on the left like to challenge corrupt institutions of authority and we're in a position now where all the institutions of authority are corrupt and actuated against the right and people on the right need to adjust their political psychology in order to digest this new reality.
00:42:19.000The right is now the left and the left is now the right in the in the classical French Revolution sense.
00:42:24.000I was talking about this yesterday that we were talking to Matt Kibbe You know, in the French Revolution, the right was the aristocracy, maintained the status quo, and the left in the room were the revolutionaries, and that was the big argument.
00:43:23.000So, you know, it's because they've been covering this for years and years and this is nothing new.
00:43:29.000Like Merrick Garland, the current Attorney General, this isn't his first rodeo.
00:43:34.000He cut his teeth Decades ago under Bill Clinton where he was at the DOJ under the domestic extremism portfolio Right at that period in the 90s when the US government was kicking up its infiltration operation into various militia groups and Merrick Garland played a big role I think in massaging the public's knowledge about what happened in Oklahoma City
00:44:43.000Look at everything but we I really try to look at everything because every now and then you get a really good tip You know 90 maybe 9 90 percent of it is weird stuff Like I got one that the scaffold commander who is one of the people featured in our story of guys saying, you know Fill up the capital fill up the capital.
00:45:02.000He's ident unidentified uncharged and everything.
00:45:04.000They're saying this guy is is bill Ayers.
00:45:08.000Oh, yeah We get a lot of weird stuff like that, but every now and then we get a really good tip, so it's really important.
00:45:22.000We can't get that number to go down as much as we go through as much as possible.
00:45:26.000These aren't like, you know, we have emails for support on the website, which we get to every single one of them.
00:45:32.000And somehow, sometimes, you know, look, for those that are listening, Gmail or your email service, it might get booted into spam or something.
00:46:14.000When they come out in the media and say you're a conspiracy theorist, then they're just trying to discredit the fact you're doing real work.
00:46:20.000Because a journalist should see something and then say, I have questions about the government's involvement in this and what their real intentions are.
00:46:29.000And then when the government says, we have done nothing and you're a conspiracy theorist, that is to imply that because you don't blindly trust whatever this person says, I don't care if they're with a government or a corporation, you must be wrong or crazy.
00:46:42.000There's there's two types of conspiracy theorists.
00:46:44.000There's the ones that can take a conspiracy theory and put it in their mind and understand it and look at it without believing it.
00:46:51.000And then there's the conspiracy theorist that sees it and believes it without being able to critically understand and think about it.
00:46:57.000And you could say that they're both conspiring, but we're gonna have to define a difference between those types of people and that way of behavior.
00:47:03.000Because I love taking a conspiracy theory and breaking it down and thinking about it without believing that it's real.
00:48:14.000Everyone else, I believe, who was charged with seditious conspiracy, they already had lesser charges.
00:48:22.000The only person who was just added completely was the founder and leader of the Oath Keepers, Stuart Rhodes.
00:48:30.000And I think there's probably a lot of public interest in a reaction to this, particularly because my news outlet revolver.news has run several detailed investigative reports on Rhodes calling into question the seeming protection that he enjoyed from the federal government for not being arrested and so forth.
00:48:53.000A lot of people are confused and some people are probably erroneously concluding, oh, he was hit with this charge, therefore he couldn't have been a fed.
00:49:04.000And I think that there are a number of things to say for that.
00:49:08.000First of all, I don't think any of the questions raised in the revolver's reporting are dispelled by this.
00:49:16.000And here's some interesting things about his case.
00:49:19.000So, seditious conspiracy is a very serious charge, so we're supposed to believe that the government's been building this serious charge for an entire year, and yet they didn't bother to search him for an entire year.
00:49:33.000Well, asterisk to that, they searched a single cell phone on his person four months After January 6th.
00:49:41.000So here's the founder and leader of the most prosecuted boogeyman militia group who is all over the media and he's so dangerous that they wait four months, give him four months to destroy all evidence and take a single cell phone from his person and then wait an additional eight months of zero search before they hit him with this serious charge.
00:50:02.000If they're taking him seriously enough to hit him with seditious conspiracy, how do you explain the fact That they only took a single cell phone four months after.
00:50:11.000And contrast that with an individual called Thomas Caldwell, who is one of his co-defendants now.
00:50:17.000Caldwell was arrested very early on in mid-January.
00:50:22.000Caldwell got the full Fed raid treatment where they went in with guns, they raided his place, they took every electronic in sight, Then they charge him immediately with a conspiracy charge to obstruct an official proceeding.
00:50:37.000And if you look at the conspiracy charging documents, the whole conspiracy of the government's case is based on Stuart Rhodes' statements and actions.
00:50:47.000And so that raises another question about Rhodes's seditious conspiracy indictment.
00:50:52.000Why did the feds wait an entire year for this big indictment when they could have taken him off the streets with a lesser indictment?
00:51:01.000Either for the same conspiracy charge that they hit Thomas Caldwell for and others, Or a trespassing charge, which we know he trespassed.
00:51:10.000There's footage of him on the Capitol grounds.
00:51:13.000And they've charged others with trespassing, even who didn't go into the Capitol.
00:51:18.000So, putting these things together, you have to wonder, okay, they were taking him so seriously that they were building up this mega seditious conspiracy case through the course of a whole year.
00:51:29.000And yet, in that year, they only search a single cell phone four months after January 6th, and they neglect the option to hit him with a lesser charge and just do a superseding indictment for the seditious case.
00:51:43.000So those are really important questions that linger, and I think the seditious conspiracy charge is actually a way for the government to get away with the perfect crime.
00:52:13.000I think that the most likely explanation for the questions that I raised was that he had some relationship with some government agency.
00:52:23.000Is it possible that the reason they didn't go after him early on, the reason they didn't try and dredge up any other information, was because they knew there was none, and the only reason they're bringing charges now is that it's an election year and it justifies establishment political talking points?
00:52:39.000I think that would be a plausible explanation if none of the other people were charged, but if they knew there was no information, then how did they get this guy Thomas Caldwell on conspiracy, where the whole conspiracy and the charging documents is full of Stuart Rhodes' statements and actions.
00:52:56.000So, if they thought that amounted to nothing, how do you explain that they hit this minor figure who's just a fellow traveler, not even an Oath Keeper, and this guy who's built up as the big boogeyman head of the Oath Keepers, they leave him untouched and unsearched?
00:53:12.000I see all of the Daily Show did that thing where it was like, you know, rest in peace, there was no sedition charges talking point.
00:53:22.000I just respond with, has anybody been convicted of insurrection or sedition even?
00:53:35.000When a lot of people came out and said, was anybody charged with sedition or insurrection, we've brought that talking point up as well, and it's relevant up until the government decides to do it.
00:53:44.000So I'll say this right now, maybe someone will be convicted, but the talking point isn't that it'll never happen, it's for right now, with the January 6th committee coming out and saying all of these things, just because you charged someone, I don't care.
00:53:58.000When these people are convicted, we can have a conversation about, you know, that we found in a court of law they attempted to do these things.
00:54:04.000And that being said, the federal government, when they charge people, they have a very, very high conviction rate.
00:54:10.000Except for a seditious conspiracy, ironically.
00:54:14.000So just two more really important points about Rhodes in particular in this charge.
00:54:20.000Okay, part of the timing was the whole, you know, Fed's erection narrative was at its absolute apex.
00:54:26.000I think more important than that, though, is just like a week before Rhodes was charged, an attorney for another Oath Keeper subpoenaed Rhodes and was getting him to testify In fact, it happened in the Michigan case.
00:54:44.000One of the big informants in that case was named Steve Robeson.
00:54:47.000so that he has a perfect excuse not to testify because he just pleased the fifth.
00:55:09.000So that's one aspect that I think is really important in relation to the timing.
00:55:14.000Another thing is this, is if I were the feds and I wanted to cover up the perfect crime, I would do precisely what they just did with the seditious conspiracy charge for the following reasons.
00:55:28.000One, It gives a big headline that for lower information people or people who don't really understand the argument, they say, oh, he's hit with this charge.
00:55:39.000So it, quote unquote, debunks the right wing people who say, oh, Fed's erection.
00:55:45.000On the other hand, it assuages and satisfies all of these left-wing people who have been furious that he hasn't been charged for a year because, in their minds, the government is protecting him because the government's a bunch of Trump-loving Nazis.
00:56:01.000If they hit Rhodes with a serious charge, and Rhodes is a Fed, then Rhodes has leverage over them and can say, I'm gonna go rogue if you guys betray me.
00:56:10.000But I think they have the perfect cover story for that, too, because they could go to Rhodes and say, look, we're going to hit you with a seditious conspiracy charge.
00:56:16.000It's going to sound serious, but the public story is you are going to cooperate and tell us what you know about Alex Jones.
00:56:24.000Tell us what you know about Roger Stone.
00:56:26.000Just smear a bunch of dirt on Trump's inner circle, which is what the media wants more than anything.
00:56:33.000And so the public story will look like, oh, Rhodes is cooperating because he's giving up Trump's inner circle and so they won't follow through the charges.
00:56:43.000And so they don't force Rhodes to go rogue.
00:56:47.000They shut up the feds erection quote-unquote conspiracy theorists on the right.
00:56:52.000They shut up the people on the left who are furious.
00:56:54.000He wasn't charged and they put more dirt on Trump's inner circle all in one move.
00:56:59.000So I think I'm not saying that's that's necessarily what it is.
00:57:04.000But if I were Consulting with the Feds and saying, what's the most elegant solution to this problem that you're in right now?
00:58:19.000That's actually the conspiracy theory, which is weird because given the prominent role that Stuart Rhodes played in the January 6th Chairman's Theory, he waited until November to subpoena Rhodes.
00:58:33.000And he only did that after Revolver News put on the pressure by saying, what the hell's going on with the committee?
00:58:39.000They're neglecting roads and they're going after seemingly anyone who was within a mile radius of the Capitol on January 6th and taking their phones and communications and so forth.
00:58:51.000Well, they're not going to convict him.
00:58:54.000I think that's extremely unlikely, but I think a very interesting dynamic is in play.
00:59:03.000I think it's an elegant attempt, but it's also a risky attempt because the more that they do this, just like their cover-up with EPS saying, oh EPS isn't a Fed because EPS talked to the committee and told us he wasn't a Fed, without releasing EPS's exact statements and without even telling us I want to ask you about this.
00:59:23.000statement was under oath and it's a weirdly precise statement of Epps not
00:59:28.000being a law enforcement official. Well, DOD is not law enforcement. There are a
00:59:32.000lot of other agencies that aren't law enforcement that he may have been
00:59:35.000affiliated with. I want to ask you about this. So a lot of speculation, a
00:59:40.000lot of theorizing, but to be fair there's nothing definitive here when it comes to
00:59:44.000Ray Epps. No charges, which is strange to me to be completely honest because
00:59:49.000Because Kinzinger is downplaying the incitement of insurrection.
00:59:52.000And when it comes to the Oath Keepers, you bring up a lot of interesting points as to why they're only charging him now.
00:59:58.000However, when I go to revolver.news, hmm, what's this?
01:00:02.000NewsGuard says you're fake news, good sir.
01:00:04.000They give you a 0 out of 100 credibility score.
01:01:22.000He identified himself in a panel as Obama's chief propagandist.
01:01:28.000And he stated he has no problem whatsoever with propaganda, and in fact supports the idea of countries using propaganda domestically against their own citizens.
01:01:37.000And so this is Rick Stangle, who is advising NewsGuard to apply nutrition labels to websites.
01:01:45.000They have financial ties to pharmaceutical giants like Pfizer and others.
01:01:50.000Simply put, this is an organization that's so compromised with such conflicts of interest
01:01:57.000that the idea that not only are they so—the arrogance and the chutzpah of them saying
01:02:04.000we have the authority to judge other sites, but we are going to ask other people to pay
01:02:09.000us to tell them what sites they should look at and trust.
01:02:13.000It's really amazing and I guess it's a good grift if you can get it.
01:02:19.000I don't think they're as bad as you put them out to be, but I do think they're bad.
01:02:21.000I've criticized them for being heavily biased.
01:02:23.000One of the things they do is, you know, these mainstream news organizations are the basis for which they decide things are true.
01:02:30.000So if you publish something, they're inherently biased against you to say, that's probably not true.
01:02:35.000If the New York Times publishes it, even if it's not true, it's inherently true.
01:02:39.000Because the only way they can actually fact check something is by checking it against mainstream news sources, which creates a feedback loop of mainstream media will always be credible because they are.
01:02:48.000That's true, but I think it's also quite remarkable that they have, you know, deep financial ties with Pfizer and that on their board is literally the head of the NSA and the CIA, whose basic job it was to lie.
01:03:00.000If you're the head of the CIA, your job is to lie.
01:03:13.000There are a lot of websites, Daily Mail.
01:03:15.000You probably shouldn't have said that because they're going to go to the site tomorrow and Post Millennial is going to have like one star.
01:03:23.000The reason why we use NewsGuard is because we know their bias and it's effectively a shield.
01:03:30.000So, I love it when, you know, early on when I started producing videos, I'd get a lot of these claims that I was pushing conspiracies or fake news, and so I installed NewsGuard.
01:03:39.000And now, when we have a segment up and we have the article on the screen and it's got the NewsGuard shield, we just say, oh, it's okay, Bill Gates approved us.
01:03:45.000Bill Gates approved us, Hayden approved us, we only use sources that are certified by NewsGuard.
01:03:50.000So, in doing so, first, and I'll say this too, I don't think it's actually, it's not even that difficult to get certified by NewsGuard.
01:03:56.000It's just, you need a corrections policy, you need to put bylines in your articles and, you know, let them know who people are.
01:04:27.000And NewsGuard says this website adheres to all nine of their standards, including the site provides the name of content creators along with either contact or biographical information.
01:04:37.000Well, the first article I pulled up doesn't have one.
01:04:40.000Let's pull up another article and see if we got Australia cancels... No byline.
01:04:53.000Typically, the byline needs to be at the top.
01:04:55.000So when it says international, there's nothing there, and you scroll down and there's no bylines, then suffice it to say, there are no bylines on The Economist.
01:05:03.000This is the issue, I say, with their bias, and it's obvious.
01:05:07.000But there are many outlets that, you know, they'll get a few strikes, but it allows us to break through and effectively provides us a shield in that it can be like, hey, look, when this happened and it's reported by this outlet and they say it's true, well, it's certified by NewsGuard, so good luck.
01:05:21.000The elite level is zero stars plus being fired by Biden.
01:05:26.000That's how you know you're doing something right.
01:05:30.000Have you guys heard this IPG Media Brands strikes exclusive deal with NewsGuard to go beyond website ratings to rate individual cable and broadcast TV news shows?
01:05:42.000They've been trying to create, at YouTube and with NewsGuard and with his other outlets, an acceptable lane of conversation.
01:05:49.000Within reason, I'm willing to use websites that are NewsGuard certified.
01:05:55.000When it comes to an article you guys publish about like Ray Apps, and it's just showing videos and asking questions about it, that's credible.
01:06:02.000You literally published a video that's been published in other places.
01:06:06.000I can fact check what you put and be like, they're telling the truth.
01:06:09.000The fact that I don't know who published it, but I know you run it, is immaterial to me.
01:06:13.000When it comes to Project Veritas, they give Veritas a strike, saying they're not credible.
01:06:17.000Which is absurd to me, because Veritas does original reporting and publishes all of the videos.
01:06:23.000So how could you argue that's not correct?
01:06:25.000Well, you're absolutely right that I think largely it is a kind of grift.
01:06:31.000It's basically the Theranos of content moderation, but it's got all these national security crooks Um, you know, advising, but I think it's very instructive.
01:06:43.000So Rick Stangle, the guy that I mentioned who described himself as Obama's chief propagandist, in, uh, we, Revolver ran a piece exposing NewsGuard, which may play into their, uh, less than charitable rating of us.
01:06:56.000But in, in our piece on NewsGuard, Rick Stangle goes on to say, you know what?
01:07:01.000As he, the, it was a Q&A period and someone asked, so why aren't you going after Fox News?
01:07:50.000And so it's like, well, we kind of we can't ding Fox News completely, otherwise we have no pretense to credibility.
01:07:58.000And plus, Fox has some good people like Shepard Smith.
01:08:01.000You know, that's the attitude that they bring to this content moderation, assigning nutrition labels, which in itself is a bizarre and somewhat creepy analogy to apply to information.
01:08:36.000He's willing to be, you know, make jokes.
01:08:39.000He's willing to, he brings up new information, new questions.
01:08:42.000He covers things that I'm like, wow, he's going for it.
01:08:44.000Well, he's somebody, like, I really, really am a fan of Tucker and friends with Tucker and I've been, you know, he's done, you know, a lot in terms of You know, helping our reporting and so forth.
01:08:59.000But I have to say about Tucker is, you know, what I commend him for the most is he's in a position of tremendous power and tremendous responsibility.
01:09:08.000And he's one of the few people that you can say he's actually discharging that responsibility in the right way.
01:09:15.000Not in the way that's easy, but in the way that's right.
01:09:18.000And there are so few people that in that position where you have a cable show and Millions and millions of people are listening to you.
01:09:26.000And he actually uses that position of authority in the way that it should be used.
01:09:32.000And so I think we have to give him a lot of credit.
01:10:44.000There's a cult phenomenon happening where if you don't just toe the line, even Fox News came out, and I will not drop this one, on the Ahmaud Arbery case of the McMichaels, cheered for the conviction of a guy who was just filming.
01:10:58.000If Fox News is unwilling to challenge something that was clearly unjust because they're spineless, Shep Smith was still scared enough that he'd leave?
01:11:07.000We were talking about this earlier, about cancel culture on the right, and you were mentioning something to the effect that the right is actually more willing to cancel people further right of the moderate conservative.
01:11:19.000Because they're too scared to look like they're outside of the opinion of mainstream corporate press.
01:11:24.000My favorite moment on national television was a few months ago when Tucker Carlson was handing it off to Sean Hannity and they got into an argument over Jeff Bezos.
01:11:33.000Because, again, Tucker Carlson wasn't afraid to talk about the billionaire class and the globalists that, of course, are connected to the CIA doing horrible things.
01:11:42.000And Hannity tried to correct him on it and it made for just the perfect awkward television moment that was awesome to see.
01:11:48.000Tucker was like, we're being ripped off by these guys.
01:11:51.000And then Hannity in the handoff goes, if someone provides a service and makes money, I got no problem with that.
01:11:55.000And Tucker did the Tucker face where he's like, you know, the girl probably like, what?
01:11:59.000But so I, you look at these people who are now what, you know, NBC or CNN.
01:12:05.000And what about Fox News's partial capitulation to corporate mainstream narratives scared them that they had to go full on capitulation to the corporate press, spinelessness.
01:12:54.000But I think there's a really important point to be made about the economy of media.
01:13:02.000And, you know, the typical kind of metaphor used, this sort of marketplace of ideas, simply doesn't apply to the media.
01:13:11.000Because if it were the case, Tucker is the most popular cable news channel in the country.
01:13:18.000And so you would think just out of self-interest, if it were all just a business, people would copy him just to get his ratings and get the money that comes with it.
01:13:29.000But that's just simply not how things operate.
01:13:31.000The profit motive is not the core of what a major media institution is about.
01:14:11.000And what other kind of business is it where you maximize your influence and that commensurately diminishes your earning capacity?
01:14:20.000It's so the the business of information is just too important to the system to be left to the profit motive because it's the business of creating people's reality.
01:15:03.000Notably because Dan Bongino plays a huge role in Rumble.
01:15:06.000I believe he's one of their principal investors.
01:15:08.000And he's been moving off the platform.
01:15:09.000Anyway, not to mention his podcast, The audio version is one of the biggest in the world.
01:15:14.000The Hill says, YouTube took action against conservative commentator Dan Bongino's channel Friday, suspending it for violating the platform's COVID-19 misinformation policy and demonetizing it for at least 30 days.
01:15:26.000The week-long posting suspension stems from a video where Bongino said that masks are useless in stopping the spread of the disease.
01:15:33.000YouTube's COVID-19 policy specifically prohibits content denying the effectiveness of wearing masks, which the vast majority of the scientific community agrees reduces the risk of infection.
01:16:12.000When I see things like this, it says to me that YouTube's actual intent is just to get rid of people like Dan Bongino.
01:16:17.000Yeah, people that are on their way out anyway, and they're like, well, he's obviously sending his energy into Rumble right now.
01:16:23.000And he's driving viewers from YouTube to Rumble, so they're like, cut him off now.
01:16:28.000But I do want to point this out, too, for a lot of people, because we've had people on the show question the effectiveness of masks.
01:16:34.000It is true, on the box, on the mask box, says it doesn't stop, you know, the COVID virus.
01:16:39.000But it does stop you from spitting on people.
01:16:42.000And for some reason, there was this flippening where early in the pandemic, conservatives wanted to wear masks and then all of a sudden didn't.
01:16:48.000And now we're in this era where the right is saying, you know, things like masks are useless.
01:16:53.000I've looked at a bunch of studies and a bunch of data.
01:16:55.000The virus, as my understanding, can be transmitted aerosolized through vapor as well as from spit, if you're spitting.
01:17:01.000If you're wearing a mask, you're blocking that spit and I think it's fairly obvious that would stop you from spitting on people and help reduce the transmission of COVID.
01:17:08.000The frontline coalition of doctors that they do the mask protocol and talk about alternative treatments actually tell people to wear masks as well.
01:17:15.000So I don't understand why there's like a tribal thing to say not wear them.
01:17:20.000That being said, I oppose the suspension.
01:17:25.000If it builds up Rumble, I'm not necessarily even the biggest fan of Rumble, mind you, but if it breaks the YouTube monopoly, then so be it.
01:17:35.000I think YouTube's also dealing with a very tough situation.
01:17:38.000Rogan getting 40 million to 50 million views, according to some estimates, with his latest interviews with Dr. Malone, Dr. McCullough.
01:17:46.000And I think those big, huge instances that everyone's talking about is something that, of course, YouTube is missing out on.
01:17:54.000And that's why we even talked about a few days ago why Joe Rogan's move to Spotify was a kind of genius move, a smarter move, because YouTube could deal without having Rogan on their platform, but Spotify can't.
01:18:06.000YouTube's already censoring the videos that were on there, but there comes a certain point where people start seeing YouTube for what it is, and I think YouTube is reaching this kind of pivotal point Where they're like, holy crap, everyone's kind of jumping ship here.
01:18:40.000No, I think, you know, what we're seeing right now, the fear and panic over Joe Rogan.
01:18:44.000And I believe what we're seeing here from YouTube is fear and panic over Dan Bongino.
01:18:49.000So there have been a bunch of people, we were talking to the CEO of Rumble, who was saying that people do live streams on YouTube, and then tell everybody, okay, the rest of the show will only be on Rumble.
01:18:59.000So they simulcast at the same time on both platforms, and then halfway through the show say, bye-bye YouTube, and turn it off to drive everyone to the other platform.
01:19:16.000Now, my ultimate fear is, YouTube plays a dirty game.
01:19:20.000Google, Alphabet, they subsidize YouTube.
01:19:22.000So it's very difficult for the likes of, say, Rumble, to compete with a partner program like YouTube, where Google gets all this money from external sources and then pays people.
01:19:30.000But as Super Chats are becoming the principal driver of revenue, you look at Salty Cracker, who's on Rumble, and we were talking to the CEO of Rumble, and he's like, this guy is getting insane amounts of Super Chats.
01:19:45.000than he would be on YouTube, because people support him, and they're involved, and you'll get a better community on these other platforms.
01:19:51.000I don't know if Rumble is the answer, but you know what?
01:19:53.000The more I see this censorship, let these big tech companies be their own demise.
01:19:58.000Yeah, I wouldn't say that Rumble is the answer, but it's definitely a soothing mechanism for the pain, for the moment.
01:20:04.000It's not solving the problem of tech censorship, because it's still a proprietary, censorable network that is censoring actively.
01:20:10.000It's just maybe more judicious in its censorship currently.
01:20:14.000Um, I, you know, I'm all for it, but we gotta free the software code.
01:20:17.000The absurdity of the YouTube position on this, as it pertains to COVID misinformation, is that so much changes every single day, from even Dr. Fauci himself.
01:20:27.000How are we supposed to know what the rules are, or abide by rules, when the science keeps changing?
01:20:34.000There's a meme of Fauci as Vader, where he's like, that science has changed, pray I don't change it further.
01:20:39.000You know, the line, you know, he's like, the deal has changed, or whatever the arrangement.
01:20:42.000So, when we're looking at their policy on COVID misinformation, and then you get breaking news where it's like, in New York, they have record-breaking cases, what are we supposed to say?
01:20:52.000How are we even supposed to follow those rules?
01:20:54.000Unless you are blind to history, to even recent history, and you just repeat whatever it is the mainstream media is saying, you're gonna get banned whenever they feel like banning you.
01:21:02.000Well, that's a great point, because what you're saying means that it's all about controlling who's able to shape and drive narratives.
01:21:11.000You can exist downstream from sanctioned narratives, and you're fine.
01:21:16.000But if you're in the business of shaping narratives, then you're in trouble because you can't get out ahead of the mainstream authoritative sources.
01:21:48.000The media really is in the business of creating people's reality.
01:21:53.000and that the the system needs that to sustain itself. The entire ecology of how the ruling
01:21:59.000class exists, the regime exists, it all rests on shaping narratives for people and that that's
01:22:07.000why it's more important than any profit and why profit motive is not never going to be the ultimate
01:22:12.000factor in any major media organization. Controlling the myth. Do you remember when
01:22:16.000Mika Brzezinski said that? I don't remember. She said it's our...
01:22:20.000Mika Brzezinski said it's our job to control what people think or something like that.
01:22:24.000I understand there's this shared myth.
01:22:26.000That's Bignev Brzezinski's daughter, by the way, who's also a very interconnected globalist.
01:22:31.000But the big aspect here is that this was a temporary suspension.
01:22:34.000This is why I think this is an important moment with YouTube at first cutting Don Bongino off and then coming back and saying, OK, we'll give you your money back.
01:22:42.000I think they're in a desperate situation.
01:22:43.000I think they're losing a lot of Key critical viewers.
01:22:46.000I think overall people are realizing, hey, I don't want to be dictated to, I don't want an algorithm curating what I should see.
01:22:52.000I don't want my perspective limited to a few tech oligarchs and their flip-flop wearing, latte drinking, limousine liberal viewpoints.
01:23:01.000I want the internet that was first given to us, that was free, that was open, that was weird, that was wild.
01:23:08.000I loved When I was able to go on there and see raw humanity in front of us and not a corporate Disney World viewpoint that is watered down to save slogans and talking points.
01:23:20.000And I think YouTube is realizing that and I think, I mean, they're making a big change here and that's why I think they brought back monetization for Bongino.
01:23:52.000What Yamiche just said is what I hear from all the Trump supporters that I talked to who were Trump voters and are still Trump supporters.
01:24:00.000They go, yeah, you guys are going crazy.
01:24:02.000He's doing, what are you so surprised about?
01:24:04.000He's doing exactly what he said he's going to do.
01:24:08.000Well, and I think that the dangerous, you know, edges here are that he's trying to undermine the media, trying to make up his own facts, and it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think.
01:26:46.000I think I'm going to buy a bunch of CNN swag and memorabilia because it's going to be, you know, not that they're about to they're collapsing and crumbling.
01:26:54.000Yeah, it's going to become, you know, like once CNN is gone, people go like, oh, whoa, I remember that.
01:27:24.000But for the most part, you end up with, you know, on YouTube, and now with competition forming on Rumble, the ability to get multiple voices of differing opinions, which gives you a healthier diet.
01:27:35.000When you go on one of these platforms, and this is why I think it's bad that YouTube is censoring people, because here's the benefit.
01:27:40.000You can go on YouTube and look up something about immigration.
01:27:43.000You can find videos from me, kind of moderate, you can find videos from Crowder, more conservative, videos from Jimmy Dore, anti-establishment left, and maybe even, you know, the Young Turks establishment left.
01:27:53.000You get all of those different views, you get a healthier diet through YouTube.
01:27:56.000YouTube censorship is turning them into everything wrong with CNN and MSNBC, that all their hosts tow the exact same line, say the exact same thing, and do not give you a healthy perspective.
01:28:08.000I like the fact that there's more websites, more channels, more personalities, that people have less centralized power in this, because now you can have people who watch this show, watch Crowder and Jimmy Dore, and be like, hey Tim, you were wrong about this, Jimmy Dore said this, and Crowder said this, and I can be like, oh how, oh wow, good point!
01:32:12.000But I imagine, along with what Darren, what you're saying is that the government does come when the organization gets big enough and will start to control it from the outside.
01:32:36.000You know, on top of, I think, probably incompetence and so forth.
01:32:40.000But all it served was, oh, there's a bunch of chatter on Parler pertaining to this insurrection event.
01:32:47.000Now, all of a sudden, it is a vehicle for threatening the national security state and it's treated like a threat.
01:32:54.000And that gets back full circle back to the Lindell situation is that if you are a genuine threat to the regime or in any in any remote sense, you become Iran.
01:33:31.000Nerd Gamer says just wanted to say it's been a rough couple months for me from my gf of five years cheating and some other family issues but whenever i watch the podcast i feel like i finally have friends to talk to even if i can't respond nerd gamer buddy thanks for being our friend and hanging out and watching that show it's because of people like you were able to do this and it's possible and uh you know what man go for a walk Go to a bar, pick up a hobby.
01:33:53.000Ian and I, we like playing Magic the Gathering.
01:33:56.000You'll make a ton of friends, and that's always really important.
01:33:58.000And the best thing is, once you're in the shop, you can put on the podcast and get a whole bunch of new friends to listen to our show, and it's great marketing.
01:34:21.000Alright, you guys do what you think is right, but I will tell you this.
01:34:23.000If the goal of this bank was not to generate negative press and be involved in this, then the stupidest thing to do would be to terminate a very high-profile individual's bank accounts and all of them at the same time.
01:37:02.000I've hung out with bugs outside and you'll get real close and just watch them and they'll dance back and forth and do a jig and then dance to the other side and do a jig.
01:39:19.000H Music says, Additionally, I think it was, was it Ted Cruz when he said, were there any FBI agents or informants?
01:39:25.000And they said, I can't answer that question.
01:39:26.000on the FBI website and then removed even though he hasn't been charged. Additionally, I think it was,
01:39:31.000was it Ted Cruz when he said, were there any FBI agents or informants? And they said,
01:39:35.000I can't answer that question. Right. No, I mean, that's true.
01:39:38.000That was first reported at Revolver that Ray Epps, it's not like they can say we don't know who he is.
01:39:45.000He was considered to be one of the 20 most important people immediately after January 6th that they wanted to identify.
01:39:51.000The internet identified him within days and they did nothing until Revolver ran a report on his fellow Oath Keeper Stuart Rhodes and the next day they scrubbed him off their public database.
01:40:02.000And since all of this blew up about Epps, the only subsequent official comment from any FBI agent, as I mentioned, was the Phoenix FBI people said they had no idea who he was.
01:40:15.000So it's a very, it's a strange situation for sure.
01:40:22.000I was going to work the National Western Stock Show this weekend and chose not to because the state and national government is going to fine $5,000 per person for not wearing a mask inside.
01:40:35.000Frederick County, which is right next to us, has a mask mandate.
01:40:40.000In Frederick proper, we got hassled over masks, and it was the weirdest thing because we didn't walk into a building and just start fighting with people.
01:40:48.000We walked into a restaurant, nobody was wearing any masks except for the staff members.
01:41:23.000And I was like, well, I guess for some reason in the downtown area where there's probably government enforcement, they're terrified.
01:41:29.000But in the outer, you know, rims of the county, people are like, get out of here, dude.
01:41:34.000The border with Virginia is five minutes and West Virginia is 10 minutes.
01:41:39.000And if people don't want, if you're told to do something you don't want to do, they're going to, they're going to go find the same store on the side of the river in a different state.
01:42:21.000We drove only a few minutes because it was a border county.
01:42:24.000We're only a few minutes from the edge of the county and we got sushi no problem.
01:42:27.000It was quite delicious at the other restaurant.
01:42:29.000It's insane to me that they were like if you want to walk five feet you better be doing it wearing a mask because everybody knows what COVID floats in the sky and at six feet and it's It's the stupidest thing, man.
01:42:39.000Look, I understand if they're like, a private business wants you to wear a mask, but I'll tell you this.
01:42:42.000The government mandating vaccines or masks, in my opinion, is a violation of our right to peaceably assemble.
01:42:48.000The Supreme Court agrees with you, I believe.
01:42:50.000No, I don't think they've ruled on this yet, but there needs to be a lawsuit over this.
01:42:56.000Perhaps I could sue over something like that.
01:42:58.000But I wonder what would happen if I got a group of 25 people That said, we're going to be organizing a Black Lives Matter protest in this public location that is open to all members of the public.
01:43:09.000And when they say, sorry, you have to leave, I'll say why.
01:43:12.000And when they say the government is requiring that we check everyone for vaccination status, I say, aha!
01:43:16.000The government can't deny our right to peaceably assemble under 1A.
01:43:19.000And then we sue and say, the government doesn't have the right.
01:43:23.000To bar your rights, to take away your rights through pressuring private organizations.
01:43:29.000So I'm wondering when someone's going to file a 1A argument that our right to assemble has been shut down by the government, forcing people to kick you out.
01:44:13.000I think we have to go through, it's very strict with how we have to run things.
01:44:17.000This is one thing a lot of people need to understand, too.
01:44:18.000When you're running a business, there's a lot of restrictions.
01:44:21.000I mean, I'm sure you deal with this stuff, too.
01:44:23.000I've had people, they assume that if you have a company, you can just give someone money.
01:44:27.000So I was arguing with this leftist who was like, I challenge these leftists when they're like, when they criticize reporting or they try and act like areas are safe.
01:44:37.000Like Conan O'Brien went to Haiti and said, it was beautiful and great.
01:44:39.000So when I see that and I'm tweeting with somebody, I'll be like, I'll tell you what, you go and cover this story for me and I'll pick the location.
01:44:47.000So I challenged this guy, I said, here's what we're gonna do.
01:44:49.000Legitimately, I will cover your costs, everything, and even pay you to go and cover gang rivalries in Chicago.
01:44:56.000We actually, it would be great to see how COVID has affected these more dangerous areas of Chicago, and we'll have you do it.
01:45:04.000And it's not even about, look, I think this person won't be able to pull it off, but if they're brave enough, they're confident, they think it's safe, that's exactly the kind of person you want to go do the reporting.
01:45:44.000When we're hiring people, we're required to have, like, a breakdown of, like, what the person's job is and why we hired them.
01:45:49.000And we've gone through all of this stuff.
01:45:51.000Otherwise, you open yourself up to audit.
01:45:53.000I wonder if many of these young people on the left started a business, it would really change their perspective on, you know, who to vote for, to be honest.
01:46:17.000He's also featured in the Revolver article.
01:46:20.000He was a sensation, part of the narrative early on, and a lot of people on the right like to point to him and say, Oh, it was actually Antifa.
01:46:29.000That was before we basically changed the narrative to look at Fed versus Antifa.
01:46:34.000And I think in the case of Sullivan, that's also consistent with Fed versus Antifa.
01:46:40.000And, you know, I'm definitely not a fan of Antifa.
01:46:43.000I think in some larger sense, Antifa is a paramilitary force of the regime, but it's also a law-breaking organization and they also have concerns about Fed infiltration.
01:46:55.000And John Sullivan was actually, if you look at various Antifa blogs and so forth, the Antifa people basically banished him because of their concerns that he was actually a fed.
01:47:07.000So I think the actual explanation is people are saying, oh, he's Antifa.
01:47:27.000And his brother is like some, you know, right-wing equivalent.
01:47:31.000It's a very bizarre family that is connected to intelligence and so forth.
01:47:36.000You know, uh, just to go completely off the rails and saying, I was thinking how funny it was that I saw this image of, um, what is it a puffin?
01:47:44.000There's, there's, there's little birds and there's, uh, a fake bird that in Iceland.
01:48:02.000They don't realize it's not a real duck.
01:48:04.000I'm like, wouldn't it be funny if aliens put decoy people here to like coax us into doing things and we can't tell the difference because it's the technology beyond us.
01:48:12.000And so you end up with these really weird people you can't understand that kind of just appear and do weird things.
01:48:31.000I think I remember your comment, and perhaps you are correct, and I just did not realize.
01:48:36.000The classical left and right was anti-establishment and pro-establishment, and the modern left today has been pro-establishment for the entire Trump administration.
01:50:03.000Yeah, and let's be honest, Obama was talking a good game.
01:50:06.000He was talking about ending the wars, ending the surveillance state, holding people accountable, you know, making sure we protect civil rights and people's personal liberties, and then he did the complete opposite of that.
01:50:19.000Riley says, today my boss said we have to wear masks again.
01:50:22.000I said, I will not wear one in front of everyone.
01:50:24.000He said, he's just relaying the message.
01:50:47.000It's what Mike Rose said, that the bombs were dropping on London and eventually people just came out of their basements like, well, what are we supposed to do?
01:51:51.000says, Darren with a mic drop on NewsGuard.
01:51:54.000Yeah, pointing out The Economist doesn't have bylines was a real smack.
01:51:59.000Yeah, I've actually emailed NewsGuard numerous times, just like, because there's certain points where I'm like, I'll use them, because like I said, it's like a shield, it's like, hey man, don't get mad at me, I'm using NewsGuard certified sources.
01:52:10.000Even The Guardian backed up Joe Rogan's claim on myocarditis, and I think that's how you can get through the manipulation.
01:52:16.000But there have been so many stories, like one very important one was that BuzzFeed wrote a fake story claiming two black men got into a fight over the death for a fried chicken sandwich.
01:52:27.000It was when the Popeye's chicken sandwich thing happened.
01:52:30.000And BuzzFeed wrote an article saying that a man shot another man over a fried chicken sandwich.
01:52:34.000And I reached out to the editor-in-chief at the time, and I said, not only is this story overtly false, Don't you think it's a little racist to make up something like this?
01:52:47.000So I emailed NewsGuard and I'm like, how is it that Project Veritas puts out a video and you say it's fake news and BuzzFeed literally writes verifiably fake news you can fact check and you guys don't care?
01:53:52.000And then to be besmirched by all these news outlets because they wanted a racist story.
01:53:57.000And then these people at Buzzfeed have the nerve to call us and other people racist or alt-right, whatever.
01:54:01.000I can't stand these scumbag, you know, left elites who think they're better than everyone.
01:54:07.000And they say they're the anti-racist and they do stuff like that.
01:54:10.000And the editor-in-chief doesn't do anything about it.
01:54:12.000When you said that they backed up Rogan's claim on the myocarditis, is that YouTube-friendly talking content you want to... I mean, I did a whole video on it.
01:54:47.000So often what'll happen is Joe will be like, hey, pull up that source, and then Jamie might pull up whatever the first source he finds, and it's not necessarily the one that Joe was talking about.
01:54:55.000So Joe came out later on Twitter and posted the Guardian article and a subsequent study from Oxford backing up his claim.
01:55:05.000And I said, this is the problem with alternative facts.
01:55:07.000Joe is not wrong when he says, this thing has happened because the Guardian reported it.
01:55:13.000Josh was not wrong when he said, actually, this is true because he had a source he read as well.
01:55:18.000This is the problem with the ever-changing landscape of news media, that people will read something in the news, know, like, I read this, I read this from a credible source, and you can read the exact opposite thing a day later.
01:55:28.000So then people just fight with each other, and I don't know how you solve for that problem, to be honest.
01:55:32.000Maybe we all just have no choice but to ask Bill Gates what the answers are and just believe him to whatever he says.
01:56:30.000There was a really funny story, we're gonna get gross, but there's a really funny story that's like a classic Reddit post where a guy was like talking about how he was running down the hall in the middle of the night after eating Taco Bell or something.
01:57:06.000Holy crap, that's the first I've ever heard of that ever happening to someone.
01:57:11.000Sir John says, I would love to hear a roundtable with the who's who to brainstorm how an entity would keep free speech and not draw excessive lawsuits over all the things people will be offended about.
01:57:21.000You can't, well, you can sue a ham sandwich, doesn't mean you're gonna win.
01:57:26.000Twitter is absolutely able to keep people on the platform, they just don't want to.
01:57:30.000Because they're hypocrites and they're... Well, look, man, this is the problem with the right.
01:57:35.000Conservatives and libertarians did not get jobs at these companies and thus they were taken over by leftists who do leftist things.
01:57:42.000I did do a segment, did do, on my TimCast news channel talking about how low testosterone is likely the cause of all of our problems.
01:57:52.000And it's that there was a study that came out from the New York Times talking about how women favor banning hate speech and men favor free speech.
01:57:59.000I think this is in line with the fact that men are more likely to take risks, women are more likely to be risk-averse.
01:58:04.000That being said, with the decline in testosterone and men becoming more feminine and less masculine, we're getting an imbalance where there's too much of a toxic feminine presence in government and not enough of a strong masculine presence balancing out I personally feel like you need a matriarch and a patriarch.
01:58:21.000You need a good female, like, assessment of the risks and to pull back and tell the guy, like, that's crazy, don't do that.
01:58:28.000But then you also need a guy who's gonna be like, nah, I'm gonna jump off this cliff with a parachute, we're gonna make it happen.
01:58:32.000That is not to say that all women hate risk and all men like risk, it's just generalities.
01:58:37.000But when you get an overwhelmingly feminist system, because men are becoming weaker and weaker with low testosterone, Then it stands to reason you're going to get banning of hate speech, you're going to get authoritarianism, you're going to get all of these things.
01:58:47.000I think Jordan Peterson talks about this too.
02:00:35.000So you see there's an internal conflict when there's an imbalance.
02:00:39.000But to be fair, a lack of food causes imbalance.
02:00:41.000I don't think it's necessarily anything to do with men or women.
02:00:43.000I just think right now what's happening is, we've known this for decades, testosterone is going down, men are, like, masculinity is on the decline, it's also being demonized, and then we're getting the rise of authoritarianism, and I think that makes sense.
02:00:57.000Feminine type of authoritarianism it's right and I think it gets safe it gets to the point that we're talking about the distinction between First-order reality and reality as perceived through the social system we're talking about the function of media and we're in a basically a media run state in in certain ways the media creating that reality is fundamentally a kind of a feminine mechanism, that everything's filtered through
02:01:27.000this kind of manipulative social control rather than just kind of interacting directly with reality
02:01:55.000We're no longer in the era where there needs to be a handler for the manipulation of media.
02:02:00.000If YouTube decides that we do the right kind of media, they'll prop us up.
02:02:06.000What you need to understand about how media manipulation works, and has probably always worked, these companies in New York don't take a journalist and then say, we want you to report propaganda for the left.
02:02:16.000They find people who are overtly leftist activists and then say, want to be a journalist?
02:02:21.000Bring them in and say, write whatever you want.
02:02:25.000So if you think this show is, you know, like we're CIA agents, haha, it could actually just be that we do the kind of show that they want us to do.
02:02:36.000And so that's why we're not getting banned.
02:02:47.000I can't remember who we had on the show, and I was just like, I don't know what's going on, but they certainly tolerate what I do because we're making a lot of money, we're growing and expanding.
02:02:55.000So I don't know what it is, the goal of Google and the establishment is.
02:02:58.000Maybe they're not as powerful as we think, or they like what we're doing for some reason.
02:03:03.000I looked on Twitter and I saw you're trending under entertainment.
02:03:17.000My, my audio is going to cut in and out to see us trending as an enter to see you trending as an entertainment icon instead of a politics icon is key.
02:03:24.000Because the CIA, they go after the politics people if they're going to go after anybody.
02:03:28.000The entertainers are here to calm people down.
02:03:31.000What I was told by some people who work at Google is that there's a lot of people who are actually fans of the show who work there.
02:03:46.000I bet there's a lot of people there that are super cool and like, this is crazy, this world, we need a better system.
02:03:50.000But it but it only is only defensible insofar as you're not overtly publicly demonized.
02:03:57.000So there's probably a lot of people at YouTube who are fans of Crowder, but it's becoming increasingly hard for them to speak up in his defense because the media attacks and attacks and attacks anything with Alex Jones.
02:04:06.000So it's only a matter of time for us in my opinion, especially in 2022 with an election year.
02:04:10.000But anyway, it's Friday night, my friends.
02:04:12.000We've got a lot of work to do and a lot of fun to be had.
02:04:13.000I'm gonna go crack some champagne and celebrate the decline of CNN's ratings.
