We are now at the deep state is real and is running for president.
00:00:07.640
But I think you also have to break up to that reality.
00:00:12.140
So now the question, is the deep state actually responsible for these felony charges?
00:00:15.820
Are they responsible for the assassination attempt?
00:00:21.300
I'm leaning towards all just malfeasance and stupidity and inaction.
00:00:30.560
If somebody did shoot something at another person, what should happen to them?
00:00:49.140
And for you to be running for office in the middle of all of this.
00:00:55.160
So weird that this happened so soon after that.
00:00:57.740
But I think a pivotal debate, which in many ways felt like a turning point in American history.
00:01:06.640
Yeah, this summer really puts the crazy in democracy.
00:01:12.200
So yeah, we are going to go over a few things here.
00:01:15.740
One that we'll go over later is I want to give a full account of what actually happened and how it happened.
00:01:22.260
Because I notice that the newspapers have done a very poor job of that.
00:01:26.400
Two, I want to talk about that within the context of this current political battle and what this means.
00:01:34.060
But the thing I want to start with, because it's what genuinely chilled me the most.
00:01:39.320
And for those who don't know, I don't know who you are, but somebody just tried to assassinate Trump.
00:01:46.740
That means that this person would have been 12 when Trump first came into office.
00:01:58.420
And two people were critically injured and Trump had his ear pierced by a bullet.
00:02:02.160
Two critical injurers, one victim death, one shooter death, and then Trump's ear being grazed.
00:02:08.860
And obviously the optics of this for Trump are fantastic in terms of him coming out, shouting fight, fight, fight.
00:02:14.860
You know, I think a lot of people after that debate, this is something that I've heard in my friend circles, said, oh, they're going to try to have him assassinated.
00:02:24.940
And literally like in a campaign strategy call recently, maybe just a couple of days ago, Biden said that we have to put Trump in the crosshairs, which now is just such bad wording.
00:02:35.120
Oh, and I remember when there was the attempted shooting or there was a shooting of some Democratic representatives and somebody had said something like that.
00:02:42.000
Or there was a time when Sarah Palin used crosshairs in one of her political ads.
00:02:47.220
And then Gabby Giffords was shot, and this was about 15 years ago, another politician if you're not in the U.S.
00:02:53.160
And then later, Sarah Palin actually sued someone who blamed her for this, I believe a media publication for defamation or libel.
00:03:03.740
She needs to like, that is how seriously they took this.
00:03:06.320
And if they treat this like nothing when it's Biden and when it's a president who was almost assassinated.
00:03:11.700
Now, we need to, the thing that was most chilling to me about this, because I want to start with this, was what you found, Simone, in terms of the newspapers trying to hide from the public that this had happened.
00:03:27.360
So can you go over some of the initial headlines?
00:03:30.920
So Trump escorted away after loud noises at PA rally from the Washington Post.
00:03:39.720
CNN reported, Secret Service rushes Trump offstage after he falls at rally, which just makes it sound like he was tremendously old, like Biden or something.
00:03:55.440
Trump removed from stage by Secret Service after loud noises startles former president crowd.
00:04:07.880
Now, in case you're like a lefty here and you're like, oh, it was very, you know, like it was a loud thing.
00:04:15.320
Lots of people didn't know what was fully going on.
00:04:19.960
One person was, like, there's blood everywhere.
00:04:25.840
Well, someone in the actual bleachers did get shot in the head and did die.
00:04:31.380
So some people are literally around a dead person.
00:04:35.260
What was, I think, really interesting was I was listening to some Australian coverage of this because we're recording this fewer than 24 hours since this actually happened.
00:04:42.460
And the Australian coverage of it was so funny.
00:04:44.340
They're like, these Americans, guns are really big in America.
00:04:46.480
And they've been training with school shooter drillings for most of their lives.
00:04:49.940
So everyone knew immediately what to do once the shooter started firing.
00:04:56.460
Within moments, they were chanting USA after adjusting to it.
00:05:02.120
Like, oh, it's like that South Park school shooting episode.
00:05:05.820
Stanley, well, do you want to tell your father about what happened at school today?
00:05:30.860
It seems that almost everyone immediately knew this was an active shooting.
00:05:34.500
So much so that the BBC was doing a piece on this.
00:05:37.820
But it's actually really important that everyone in the crowd realized this was an active shooting
00:05:43.720
And reporters who were not part of the American media establishment and didn't know they were
00:05:48.780
supposed to spin this as a non-active shooting situation, specifically the BBC,
00:05:53.280
immediately reported this as an active shooting.
00:05:57.200
One of our friends even sent us a picture of the bullet that was captured mid-frame.
00:06:04.920
And I wrote back, I'm like, that's a very fascinating-looking loud noise.
00:06:10.560
But this matters because we lived in an environment up until recently where the U.S.
00:06:17.340
media was able to get away with this kind of lying to the American public.
00:06:23.600
So finally, we're in a situation where there were hundreds of people with active recording
00:06:29.560
But they thought they could get away with lying about this.
00:06:33.980
So this type of media attempting to gaslight the American people, since Elon bought X,
00:06:41.440
it's come out increasingly that this has been happening very regularly.
00:06:45.040
Because before that, they also had the big tech firms in their pocket.
00:06:48.200
And if they still had them all, I suspect they may have tried to run with the loud noise
00:06:51.900
narrative, and for people who are like, no, they wouldn't do that, even though it obviously
00:06:55.660
came out that they were wrong about this, I suggest you Google the recent outbreak of
00:07:06.120
And then you will find at the top of your Google results and at the top of your news results
00:07:16.740
So I'll just go over here, just so people know, like real news, this is why real news
00:07:22.160
channels like this are important, instead of going through the corporate mass media.
00:07:26.520
In 2017, there was the Randy Stare mass shooting in Tannehaken, PA.
00:07:32.140
This was the, it's known as the Danny Phantom shooting.
00:07:35.380
If you want to see the Turkey Tom episode on it, it's actually pretty good.
00:07:39.500
No, because the media covered up most of these mass shootings.
00:07:44.000
Next, you had a shooting at a Maryland distribution center in 2018.
00:07:49.200
Then you had a school shooting in Denver in 2019.
00:07:56.660
Then the Colorado Springs LGBT nightclub shooter, self-identified as non-binary.
00:08:01.320
They've tried to say, oh, he doesn't deserve that identity because he did this shooting.
00:08:09.080
Then in 2023, the Nashville school shooting was also transgender.
00:08:13.500
Now, people can be like, oh, that's not that many.
00:08:17.460
That's only four mass shooters, almost one a year.
00:08:23.680
And then I would point out that since 1982 in the United States, there have only been four
00:08:31.740
So just since 2017, there has been as many trans mass shootings as there have been female mass shootings since 1982.
00:08:47.300
I just can't even, anyone can pretend that this is anything other than like a major issue that we need to take care of.
00:08:53.900
But it goes against the extreme leftists, the urban monocultures narrative around what's happening.
00:09:00.060
And so they have continued to try to suppress it.
00:09:02.660
And I think just because the story about it hasn't got viral enough yet, they've been able to get away with it.
00:09:07.560
Whereas with the attempted assassination, they had to backtrack after the, and to just think that that would be your initial instinct.
00:09:14.100
You see a guy's head explode and your initial instinct is, oh, this isn't going to be good for my campaign.
00:09:20.840
Do you have any thoughts on this before we go further?
00:09:26.800
I wanted to hear your thoughts on the attempted media cover-up of this.
00:09:35.500
I mean, it was clearly coordinated across multiple platforms.
00:09:42.640
It wasn't like a few people or one person messed up.
00:09:47.840
So there are already multiple conspiracy theories around this.
00:09:52.200
I think that it's not as malicious as people think it is in that I don't think it was coordinated.
00:09:57.100
I don't think people got on a call and were like, hey, we need to head this off.
00:10:02.560
I think it's more that most mainstream media outlets will take the least charitable interpretation of something that Trump does at any given time.
00:10:10.920
And I think a lot of that's commercially driven.
00:10:12.600
We have to keep in mind that most of the people reading these mainstream media outlets that have not already completely been alienated by their dishonesty and by their political bias are extremely progressive people.
00:10:23.700
And those extremely progressive people have what's known as Trump derangement syndrome.
00:10:27.520
And if anything is even slightly charitable toward him, they're going to get angry and probably go to another publication because these are the people who invented cancellation.
00:10:39.760
But even for a progressive media piece, an attempted assassination is going to get more clicks than there was a loud noise and an old man fell over.
00:10:48.400
I think that what you are right about is I don't think that this was coordinated.
00:10:53.640
I think it was just if there are multiple potential interpretations of something that somebody saw, they will choose the most, even if it's not with the majority of evidence supports, even if it requires a little bit of a distortion of reality, they'll choose the one that makes Trump look the worst.
00:11:09.920
But then you've also got to look at it in the context of this trans shooting cover up.
00:11:13.500
And I think there is this sort of concerted feeling of civic obligation as viewed from the perspective of these journalists and editors of, OK, this happened, but we can't let it cause the unthinkable with the unthinkable being, oh, people will start to be against trans rights.
00:11:34.460
Or in this case, people will possibly be swayed to vote for Trump when they otherwise would not have.
00:11:40.160
Yeah. And this is also where I think it's really interesting.
00:11:44.280
I think that the public actually got pretty, when I say the public, the urban monoculture, the Dems got pretty lucky that Trump wasn't hit in this assassination attempt.
00:11:52.740
It would have been catastrophic for them if he had been hit.
00:11:55.960
Specifically, it would have meant that one of his kids would likely be running in his place.
00:11:59.360
That would have been who the party would rally behind.
00:12:03.600
His kids have already shown an interest in getting politically active.
00:12:06.380
They, as a matter of family honor, would likely see it as a responsibility to run.
00:12:12.240
This would be somebody running who just had their father be shot by the other team.
00:12:19.260
The GOP and the political apparatus would not have let that happen.
00:12:23.240
It's just that they have, like, none of the infrastructure set up.
00:12:29.780
So this is, I'll tell you exactly how the events would have played out, okay?
00:12:33.500
If the GOP immediately rallied behind them, it wouldn't happen.
00:12:37.100
But what gave Trump his validity in the mind of his base is that the GOP started hating him, and then he overcame that.
00:12:48.920
If, immediately after his assassination, because you've got to think about who else takes the presidential spot.
00:12:54.180
A number of people would have put their hands up.
00:12:57.600
The GOP would have immediately said, oh, you can't.
00:13:00.940
All the stodgy politicians would have immediately said, oh, you can't go to his son.
00:13:08.580
And then all of the memes would have come out of them saying the exact same thing about Trump in the past.
00:13:13.360
Easily, because no one else is, like, an heir apparent right now in terms of post-Trump.
00:13:19.060
Naturally, the public sentiment, especially among Trump's most fervent base, would have gone to his son.
00:13:23.660
And really, the only thing that could have prevented it is both of the older ones running at once.
00:13:28.580
That's the only thing that could have prevented this from happening.
00:13:30.920
And then you've got the problem of then you have a genuine Trumpist dynasty, with the Republican Party becoming the party of Trump's family.
00:13:38.480
Now, a lot of Americans are like, that could never happen.
00:13:41.160
But this has actually happened in a number of other Democratic parties, where certain parties are just a party of X family.
00:13:49.120
Do you mean, like, the Bushes and the Trumps and the Clintons or the Kennedys?
00:13:54.600
So we've never really had this happen in the U.S.
00:13:56.700
We have had candidates get elected multiple times.
00:13:59.760
So you've had the only instance that I can think of that would be even remotely close to this is the George Bush Sr. and George Bush Jr.
00:14:07.880
But the problem is the George Bush Sr. and George Bush Jr. is their political platforms really didn't have that much continuity.
00:14:14.580
It wasn't that they were getting elected one after another.
00:14:19.340
And they weren't seen as part of an interconnected brand.
00:14:23.600
Now, the Clintons and then Chelsea winning, that would have been an instance of this.
00:14:30.380
And then with that happening, I also wouldn't be as worried because who knows if Chelsea's even going to have that many kids.
00:14:40.020
For this to happen, you need an actually fecund family where you can have multiple family members run if another one can't run.
00:14:46.320
So with the Trump family, one son loses and the other one's running next time and then you've got his kids.
00:14:51.560
So you actually need a large enough family for this to be a real risk.
00:14:55.160
And the Trump family, especially after a Trump assassination, would pose a very real risk of this.
00:14:59.980
And it's not that I have a problem with his kids.
00:15:01.680
I just don't think it's politically healthy for one party in this country to become overly associated with one family or another.
00:15:10.280
You're like, oh, they wouldn't choose the kids.
00:15:16.240
Then you have the secondary problem, which I also think is really interesting.
00:15:19.860
Some people have been like, yeah, there's Dems cheering about this and saying, oh, they wish he had been hit.
00:15:24.400
Like Destiny, for example, made a post about this, which is like, all I see is Biden plus one in a picture of one of the dead Trump supporters.
00:15:31.520
Which is obviously really horrible that anyone would say that.
00:15:34.500
But a lot of people are like, Republicans would be the same way.
00:15:39.640
There isn't a Republican alive in the U.S. right now who would want Biden assassinated.
00:15:45.840
It's just I can see a Democrat having him assassinated right now because it would solve an enormous problem the Democrats have at the moment, which is his dementia problem.
00:15:54.220
But he is literally, he is so much more harmful to the party alive than dead.
00:16:02.180
And it's also interesting that the shooter didn't think this through.
00:16:04.620
A lot of people just don't really think through.
00:16:11.900
Actually, so I can go further into the shooter stuff that we do know about because there's been a piece of information that somehow the media hasn't really picked up.
00:16:19.680
So a lot of people know this is what we do know.
00:16:27.840
He is a 20 year old from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, which was about 40 miles from where the Trump rally took place.
00:16:34.500
He likely used an AR-15, almost certainly used an AR-15 to shoot him.
00:16:39.000
And he was registered to vote at the time of his death.
00:16:42.000
So as of yesterday, as a Republican, only known political donation was to act blue, which supports Democratic candidates.
00:16:56.040
So there was a misidentified individual who made some social media posts about how much he hated Trump and Republicans.
00:17:01.980
Yeah, this random Twitter user who also was a white young man with longish hair.
00:17:07.640
I on our Discord, they described the shooter as looking like a failed abortion.
00:17:45.620
Yeah, you would never point that at the president.
00:17:49.980
And if this is just going to actually find the kill persons, I mean her persons, OK?
00:18:16.680
If somebody did shoot something at another person, what should happen to them?
00:18:27.820
They should get hurt if they try to shoot somebody, right?
00:18:33.220
This is a piece of information that they didn't pick up.
00:18:42.700
You cannot register for a party in the United States before the age of 18.
00:18:50.340
So while we don't know when he registered, we do know it was around or after when he made the
00:19:01.060
It wasn't like he flipped parties or something like that.
00:19:03.340
Because some people are asking, like, maybe he was a registered Republican for a long time,
00:19:07.820
and then recently he became Democratic and started donating to Democrats.
00:19:13.320
The registration happened before or after the donation.
00:19:16.860
So we have two events that we know about, right?
00:19:19.840
We know that he donated to Democratic political candidates.
00:19:22.920
Then we know that during X period, he registered as a Republican.
00:19:27.900
And then two years later, he tries to assassinate the head of the Republican Party during both
00:19:36.460
Sorry, the 2022 election two years ago when he was 18.
00:19:45.520
If anything, he would have participated in that election to vote in the primary against
00:19:51.000
specific Republicans that he wanted to keep out of office.
00:19:55.720
I honestly just think he probably registered as a Republican for some reason.
00:20:03.000
That's the kind of thing that a Republican would do.
00:20:14.060
I think it's going to come out very obviously that he was a crazed Democrat, and the news
00:20:17.540
is going to try to spin it that he was a Republican.
00:20:20.020
Be sure that you guys have the most up-to-date information here, and these go live a bit after
00:20:26.240
So more information has come out about the potential assassin, what he was like in school.
00:20:37.000
One person even described him as the type of person you'd expect to shoot up a school.
00:20:41.260
He wasn't known as having strong political opinions, and as to his shooting ability,
00:20:46.860
I'll read a little excerpt here from an article from ABC.
00:20:50.200
Myers and another student said that Crooks tried to join the school's rifle team, but
00:20:55.000
was rejected and asked not to return after a preseason session.
00:21:02.380
He was asked not to come back because of how bad a shot he was.
00:21:10.500
Another member of the team who asked not to be named told ABC News that there was a view
00:21:24.220
This is the conjecture part, but there are some things that we can talk about a little
00:21:29.840
And also, like, by saying some interesting things that don't actually happen.
00:21:31.360
I want to go over the specific events before we go further.
00:21:35.100
Because I think some of the eyewitness reports were really interesting.
00:21:37.460
Okay, so on July 14th, 2024, an assassination attempt was made against U.S. former President
00:21:44.420
Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania.
00:21:48.600
The timeline of events, 6.02 p.m., Trump takes the stage.
00:21:53.560
6.11, a few minutes into Trump's speech, gunfire erupts.
00:21:57.860
Now, we should note, before this, some of the audience members saw the other guy climbing
00:22:03.200
onto this building with a gun and then army crawling into position and tried to alert the
00:22:11.380
Yeah, specifically, I love the quote from that one red-headed local businessman who's
00:22:15.360
like, hey, man, this guy on the roof with a rifle.
00:22:23.860
And there's additional, another man reported, and then I can send you a link from this if
00:22:27.860
you want to include the clip, but another man present on the scene told a police officer
00:22:34.060
So police officers were being informed about this from multiple people.
00:22:38.780
And there's even footage that came out on Twitter, I think, from cell phone coverage,
00:22:44.000
people uploading stuff on their cell phone, of moments before shots were fired, people
00:22:51.860
And I should note, because people are like, this seems like an assassination attempt by
00:23:00.420
And I'll explain why I think it's plausible, that this was done in a more coordinated fashion.
00:23:04.780
I will show an aerial footage of the stage and the location where the shooter was.
00:23:11.300
There are no other raised buildings in the area.
00:23:15.280
If you are familiar with, even just from movies like myself, and you are scouting an area for
00:23:21.380
potential shooters, you look for raised platforms where they could set up.
00:23:26.180
This isn't like a kind of like an obvious raised platform.
00:23:31.640
If you were looking for a lifeguard, like a lifeguard stand, it's like not noticing the
00:23:38.820
And then obvious to the crowd tried to notify multiple people.
00:23:43.000
And everyone was saying after Biden's performance in our circles, the left is going to try to
00:23:50.520
And keep in mind, sorry, before I go back, I'm going to get to the attempt to smear him
00:23:58.920
But I'm going to do that after we get through the timeline of events, because this is also
00:24:03.240
really interesting, like just how far they've gone in trying to get him and how much they
00:24:11.200
So 611 to 612, the shooting lasts less than a minute.
00:24:15.000
One spectator is killed and two others are critically injured.
00:24:18.360
Snipers from Trump's security detail kill the suspected attacker.
00:24:21.840
So when I first heard this, I was like, that's sus.
00:24:24.340
How did he hit, how did he hit spectators if the crowd was below Trump was on a raised platform
00:24:34.140
The, did you have that immediate thought as well?
00:24:37.480
The way he hit them is there was a bleacher of spectators behind Trump.
00:24:41.620
And that's how he ended up hitting spectators, which is just absolutely horrible that this
00:24:50.060
They just like that you and I could have gone to a campaign rally.
00:24:55.780
The man who was killed, his family was with him there.
00:25:00.000
They witnessed, I mean, they were in shock, obviously.
00:25:04.640
I want to read into the script what was the daughter of the man who died said about him
00:25:11.900
Yesterday time stopped and when it started again, my family and I started living a real
00:25:17.900
What was supposed to be an exciting day that we had all looked forward to, especially my
00:25:22.200
dad, turned into the most traumatizing experiences someone could imagine.
00:25:26.720
I know the media will cover this event and I'm going to try my best to stay away from
00:25:31.280
looking at everything, especially because I've already seen and lived through it in real
00:25:36.760
But I want everyone to know what the media will not cover and will not say about him.
00:25:48.500
You call, he would answer and he would do whatever it is you needed.
00:25:52.720
And if you didn't know how, he would figure out how.
00:25:56.480
He could talk and make friends with anyone, which he was doing all day yesterday and loved
00:26:02.580
He was a man of God, loved Jesus fiercely, and also looked after our church and our members
00:26:09.140
The media will not tell you that he died a real life superhero.
00:26:12.580
They are not going to tell you how quickly he threw my mom and I to the ground.
00:26:17.880
They are not going to tell you that he shielded my body from the bullets that came at us.
00:26:24.060
He truly loved us enough to take a real bullet for us.
00:26:27.300
And I want nothing more than to cry on him and tell him thank you.
00:26:31.240
I want nothing more than to wake up and this to not be reality for me and my family.
00:26:36.680
We lost a selfless, loving husband, father, brother.
00:26:47.240
And this is the scene that really changed everything.
00:26:49.080
There were so many ways that this could have gone.
00:26:52.000
That it went with Trump being ducked down after his ear was shot and he felt the blood
00:27:00.100
But then that his immediate reaction to this was not to run away or anything like that,
00:27:05.220
but to put up his hand and to start yelling fight.
00:27:07.660
And it should be emphasized that is not easy to do.
00:27:12.620
So what happens is he ducked when he realized that he had been shot.
00:27:16.040
Then he was almost immediately tackled by his Secret Service detail.
00:27:20.040
They've been trained to create a human shield when there's an active shooter situation.
00:27:24.180
So I think there's like turtle over the president.
00:27:27.620
Yeah, and so he actually, as they were trying to remove him from the stage, was actively
00:27:32.540
fighting them to get his head to stick out from the turtle of Secret Service people that
00:27:37.700
was formed around him to put up his fist and pump the air and say fight.
00:27:42.440
Actually, though, what picked up on the mics first before he started fighting to get out
00:27:51.180
No, no, the reason why he wanted his shoes, by the way, that's been speculated, and I
00:28:00.780
How tall a president is has been shown in statistics to really affect her.
00:28:04.280
And you're taking so many pictures with people.
00:28:10.540
But also for a 70-year-old man to fight off the Secret Service to make it out after being
00:28:17.260
shot at, if we could have 5% of as majestic a reaction to being shot.
00:28:23.940
I want to run for president just so I can do this.
00:28:35.500
Guys just have these fantasies about somebody attacks their family, and then they come out
00:28:42.580
But one of the fantasies of every male politician is they get shot, and then like,
00:28:47.260
Teddy Roosevelt, for people who aren't familiar with this, Teddy Roosevelt got shot before
00:28:51.860
a 50-page speech, and he went through the speech after getting shot before leaving the
00:28:58.140
Then there's the famous incident of the guy who tried to attack Andrew Jackson, and his
00:29:02.340
gun didn't go off, and Andrew Jackson had a cane, and he just went at him like a chimpanzee
00:29:08.880
And I think he, I don't know if the guy died or like almost died.
00:29:16.660
That is not a guy who you want to, I can just imagine, because if anyone knows like
00:29:25.300
He was like really into duels and killing people, and that was his reputation in the
00:29:29.060
war, and the campaign ads against him showed him sitting on a mountain of skulls.
00:29:33.120
I actually genuinely hate Andrew Jackson as a person.
00:29:37.320
I do not like that the right, or some people on the right have tried to compare Trump to
00:29:42.680
Andrew Jackson is America's Hitler, and absolutely deserves to be remembered as such.
00:29:50.940
What he did with the Native Americans was absolutely inexcusable.
00:29:57.020
Because of Andrew Jackson, we can't say, if you just adopted the Western ways and worked
00:30:02.560
with our government peacefully, that everything would have turned out okay for you.
00:30:07.880
And then he just basically went into peaceful settlements and started shooting people and
00:30:11.900
then taking them basically captive and moving them to unproductive land and taking all their
00:30:20.680
And the way he acted during his life, like all of these duels that you didn't need to do,
00:30:23.760
like the way if you were manly and you were doing a duel, both people were like supposed
00:30:28.940
And Andrew Jackson would do this thing where the other person would miss.
00:30:31.520
And then he'd just slowly like line up the shot after that because they were one-shot
00:30:39.340
But to think, getting in front of a guy like this and your gun goes, this guy is, oh, now
00:30:43.760
I get to kill you free of charge in front of a crowd.
00:30:52.400
I think going forward, this fight, fight, fight is going to become his main rally this
00:31:00.840
And I actually think it lends itself to a perfect rally for a Trump campaign, where
00:31:06.520
it feels like he has been unjustly hit with felonies.
00:31:16.820
And I think that this is the way a lot of Americans feel right now.
00:31:21.100
I was talking to, in our Discord, one person was like, but it's not for you to decide whether
00:31:27.740
or not the felony classification of Trump was justified.
00:31:44.500
I'm like, no, this is for the court of public opinion.
00:31:46.800
When, as happens in many countries throughout history, the legal establishment becomes corrupt,
00:31:53.840
and the citizen body of a democracy is supposed to fix it, how can they fix it if they just
00:32:05.220
That is how the left has been able to get as far as they have applied this.
00:32:10.060
Therefore, you don't get to make these kinds of judgments.
00:32:13.580
Therefore, you don't get to make these kinds of judgments.
00:32:17.440
Therefore, you don't get to make these types of judgments.
00:32:19.960
And for those who haven't looked into the felony classification, I want to read for you
00:32:26.460
I think anyone who's looking at this in any way sober-minded would be like, oh my God,
00:32:33.720
This is, you know, what you get in developing countries that don't have real political apparatus.
00:32:39.840
And somebody comes out, they challenge the regime, and then they get slapped by, it's
00:32:46.100
In New York, falsifying business records can be either a misdemeanor or a felony.
00:32:50.220
It becomes a felony, first degree, when the act of falsifying records was done with the
00:32:56.180
In Trump's case, prosecutors argued that the falsification was done to unlawfully influence
00:33:05.180
I think anyone who is being honest with themselves and looking at that charge can be like, wait,
00:33:18.960
Is the crime literally just that Trump was running for office?
00:33:31.200
And when you read it, I remember you read it for the first time, and you were like, I
00:33:35.600
What were your thoughts when you first started researching that case?
00:33:44.620
What bothered me was that people involved specifically were elected to...
00:33:51.680
With the promise that they would do this to Trump.
00:33:54.420
So it was very clearly politically motivated, like literally politically motivated.
00:33:58.600
And that the technicality on which he was given this felony charge involved choosing one crime
00:34:09.720
and then like selecting some other crime that had to have happened at the same time, something
00:34:21.940
I just also think that if you want to play this game, you could technically get anyone on
00:34:27.320
You just have to have enough people who are really trying to catch you on these technicalities.
00:34:33.300
So no one is safe if this is how we're going to play the game.
00:34:37.540
So to be clear, this is falsifying business records.
00:34:40.960
So first you have to keep in mind how many business records Trump has and the way he does
00:34:46.860
And everyone in that sector really does business when you're dealing with that size of deals,
00:34:51.460
which is you're always moving money around in ways that is plausibly shady.
00:34:54.780
So all they needed to do is say, really, any of his normal business dealings was connected
00:35:01.580
to some vague other crime without proving or specifying what the other crime was.
00:35:06.920
And that really just meant anyone could be connected of a felony who was in the type
00:35:12.540
But I also think anyone who has worked in politics or who's done pretty much anything
00:35:16.520
can be convicted of maybe not a felony, but of absolutely something for sure, which is
00:35:23.200
why one of the top rules that you should always live by is never commit a crime while committing
00:35:28.340
a crime because it just compounds your odds of getting caught.
00:35:31.320
But it's really hard to, I think, not commit crimes, mostly because there's a lot of crimes
00:35:40.820
Obviously, in some states, it's even illegal to go out dressed a certain way or something
00:35:44.240
because there are these really antiquated laws that are still technically on the books.
00:35:47.500
So what I'm saying is that, again, if this is how we want to play the game, anyone is
00:35:54.540
I also wanted to note something else here was that the place where the guy was shooting
00:36:01.120
And if you look at the venue, it was very obvious, like it was close.
00:36:07.500
So do you have any, what do you think happens next?
00:36:10.660
In terms of like how, you know, you're saying that this could have been a conspiracy on the
00:36:17.920
I do think that there are a couple of things that contributed to this.
00:36:21.300
It is interesting that in the past, his requests to increase his secret security detail
00:36:30.440
So people are going to have little infarctions about that for a while, no doubt.
00:36:36.600
It's also interesting that, and there's footage of this that anyone can see, the counter snipers
00:36:42.860
with the secret service that were on an adjacent nearby roof were seen before, earlier, just
00:36:50.780
And then right before shots were fired, they were already engaged, as in to say they were
00:36:56.180
looking through their sights and aiming their guns.
00:36:58.320
And then right after the shots fired, they made slight adjustments and shot.
00:37:04.480
It sounds like they delayed shooting until after this guy had shot.
00:37:10.100
Now, I don't actually think that there was a concerted attempt to delay shooting.
00:37:18.640
People assume that there's a conspiracy when it's really just a mixture of incompetence
00:37:23.140
and poor coordination, which is far more likely that people are-
00:37:35.000
And then you see someone, but you don't want to be the person responsible for accidentally
00:37:39.040
shooting an innocent person who was on a roof trying to get a better view.
00:37:43.140
The audience knew it wasn't an innocent person.
00:37:45.260
The audience that was seeing it happen was like, oh my God, there's a guy army crawling
00:37:55.480
And he was apparently army crawling for a while.
00:37:58.700
But here's what I'm going to do, again, is I'm going to put the picture of the venue
00:38:04.920
You are a counter-sniper in a higher level position where you can see this thing.
00:38:10.300
Is there any way you couldn't have seen this guy with plenty of warning?
00:38:16.560
Is it at all plausible that you couldn't have seen this happening?
00:38:20.640
I don't want to be too conspiratorial, but I also just don't know.
00:38:27.300
I, you know, I err in favor of that, that I always tend to read, if anything, benign incompetence
00:38:34.680
to people rather than some kind of concerted attempt to do something shady, though people
00:38:42.460
But yeah, I do not think that is, is what happened, but it is interesting that happened.
00:38:47.740
And I think it just goes to show that you cannot throw money at a problem or hire the
00:38:53.580
best professionals and assume that it's going to be okay.
00:38:58.280
Your driver is never actually paying attention.
00:39:00.540
Your accountant is never actually checking all of your transactions.
00:39:03.040
And just to assume that they've got it, that anyone has got it aside from you or someone
00:39:07.980
that you're working very closely with, it's your fault when something goes wrong.
00:39:15.440
So I just wanted to point out that little detail because I watched the video and I was
00:39:22.000
This election, and I was actually thinking of doing a different episode on this, but it
00:39:25.240
is just worth noting here that this election after the debate has really transformed its
00:39:31.020
nature, because in the last couple of elections, Trump was like, I'm running against the deep
00:39:54.740
But with Biden now officially not being the person who's running the country, like we
00:40:01.000
And they're like, and the Democrats are going, yeah, but everything's running fine.
00:40:04.720
It doesn't really matter if Biden is incompetent.
00:40:10.280
And it's, oh, you're electing the deep state, right?
00:40:12.340
This now is literally, because we know that Biden is like, we can't earn it.
00:40:18.560
But people also know, they know that it's been, well, we may only have realized this.
00:40:26.260
We may have only just learned that Biden is definitely for sure not running the country.
00:40:30.420
And then instead the nation is being run by a group of unelected, mostly faceless bureaucrats
00:40:39.400
But I think a lot of people are, have decided that they're okay with that.
00:40:48.740
I asked one of our friends in Pennsylvania, who is not, is a pure Pennsylvania friend.
00:40:53.520
I'm a cool guy, doesn't own a computer, but is still cool and nerdy, like runs D&D games
00:41:08.660
And I asked him, how do you feel about being in a nation of unelected, faceless people running
00:41:14.900
And he's honestly, things aren't bad, that bad right now.
00:41:18.520
I even asked him to list, or no, he listed unprompted his most important priorities for
00:41:25.540
Actually, let me pull up what he sent to me because he still doesn't want to vote for
00:41:30.540
And he still plans probably on like protest voting for Kennedy, despite the fact that the
00:41:36.880
following are the most important things to him.
00:41:59.180
This assassination hasn't changed his opinion at all.
00:42:01.640
And there are lots of people like this who are centrists, who are smart.
00:42:06.020
They may not be hyper online, but it's important for us to be aware of the opinions of people
00:42:10.840
Because I think it's very easy for people on the internet to be like, oh yeah, man,
00:42:16.180
And that's just not where the majority of Americans are.
00:42:22.820
But the point I was making is what he admitted as well.
00:42:29.100
We are now at the deep state is real and is running for president.
00:42:36.420
But I think you also have to break up to that reality.
00:42:40.820
Now the question is, is the deep state actually responsible for these felony charges?
00:42:44.520
Are they responsible for the assassination attempt?
00:42:46.520
And what scares me is I'm leaning towards no, I'm leaning towards all just malfeasance
00:42:51.860
and stupidity and inaction, but I think it's plausibly yes.
00:42:56.020
I think the felony charges are somewhat part of this, but they're somewhat part of this in
00:43:01.460
the same way that the biased media coverage of this assassination attempt is somewhat part
00:43:05.640
of it in the sense that there are people who work in these legal positions or these media
00:43:11.880
positions who vehemently believe that there is no way that our democracy could survive
00:43:18.380
Trump being elected again, that he would break the country, that he would break everything,
00:43:24.300
ruin everything, and he cannot under any circumstances win.
00:43:27.440
And I think that those people, of course, will pursue legal action and will pursue media action
00:43:33.880
that may be not considered good form in order to make that happen.
00:43:39.800
But I don't think it's, okay, guys, we're going to get together.
00:43:42.940
One, they would know that would make them look extra culpable and here there's plausible
00:43:46.620
So they're not that dumb, but I also just don't think that they view it that way or do it
00:43:53.680
We have seen our kids who have been raised on, what I find so funny is Paw Patrol, one of
00:44:00.240
their favorite shows actually made by the urban monoculture.
00:44:06.220
An incompetent bureaucrat, the mayor, is always the villain in Paw Patrol.
00:44:39.480
Oh, because, but is it actually fair and square?
00:44:44.700
Um, he does it fair and square at the same time, and he gets the cloud caster to blow and
00:45:07.120
Now, see, I think what Octavian identified here is what the urban monoculture is actually
00:45:10.840
trying to tell us is that capitalists are a bad guy.
00:45:15.980
I don't actually know what Mayor Humdinger looks like, but Octavian says he wears a top
00:45:23.740
But, Octavian, what do you think of communists?
00:45:34.800
Real communism hasn't been tried, right, Octavian?
00:45:38.400
Octavian, you need to learn the phrase, if you're going to say that, you need to say, real communism
00:45:50.380
Can you say that you're going to make all the trains run on time?
00:45:53.600
But Daddy said, I got to look at them, not get them.
00:46:00.600
I said, look, so we did this horrifying thing today where we took our kids to an antique
00:46:10.880
And so when you've got three kids and you're trying to keep them from grabbing the trains
00:46:15.020
from an antique toy show, because they also have other antique toys as well, many of which
00:46:31.920
What do you think Daddas are supposed to do for their kids?
00:46:37.820
And how does a good mommy, what does a good mommy do?
00:46:51.800
I think people can see that we are obviously abusing our children.
00:47:04.640
That is exactly what an abusive parent would force their child to say.
00:47:16.320
Somebody tried to shoot the president yesterday.
00:47:27.960
And so what do you think should happen to the person who tried to shoot the president?
00:47:31.900
He went to Mason, but Pernod Sky just told him we're hunting her.
00:48:04.080
And that's what we mean when we talk about like when you have young kids, you're like,
00:48:06.620
maybe LLMs aren't as different from humans as I can do input commands and try to get him
00:48:11.500
to respond, but sometimes it'll be like on an adjacent topic.
00:48:15.520
You're very good at holding the microphone, by the way.
00:48:19.960
Octavian, do you want to say to the fans of the show that you're really excited that they're
00:48:32.320
I just want to tell them that I'm going to show them my magic trick.
00:48:49.440
He wants you to know that, but he forgot the equipment.
00:49:10.020
And if people want, we can try to do more with our kids.
00:49:14.920
Do you like attacking daddy with Toasty and Titan?
00:49:42.080
There's going to be poop everywhere if I don't take action now.
00:50:12.460
But there's poop anywhere if I'm not that innocent.
00:50:28.300
The greatest thing about having kids is I always talk to myself anyway,
00:50:31.480
but now I don't sound like I'm crazy because I'm talking to a baby instead.
00:50:45.020
Actually, that is still real tradwifing because the only real tradwife is a social media poster.
