00:01:39.740Show me any business anywhere in the United States at any level that doesn't have to go through government regulations, government red tape, government restrictions, taxes, the whole nine yards.
00:02:05.240Every single company in the entire country that's ever existed, going back to like the 1700s, had to deal with some form of government, quote unquote, meddling.
00:02:14.880And this idea of a laissez-faire, you know, government, there's nothing, it doesn't exist.
00:02:24.340It's never been a thing in the real world, period.
00:02:27.640So I know that, you know, marijuana is legal over there in Colorado now.
00:02:32.300So I don't know if Jared Paulus maybe was dipping his beak a little bit in when he wrote this tweet.
00:02:38.820But that's kind of what it feels like, because what he's saying literally makes no sense.
00:02:44.840That being said, authoritarian socialism, really authoritarian socialism, because yet that's actually the opposite of socialism, because what's Governor DeSantis doing?
00:02:57.640Yes, he's using the power of government.
00:02:59.400Yes, he's using this as a lever of power.
00:03:01.120But what's he actually doing in the effective cause?
00:03:05.000The effective cause of what he's doing is to take away a special governance status from Disney that was granted to him by the state of Florida to begin with, 55 years ago.
00:03:19.860So this law that DeSantis essentially is repealing was put in place as a special status for Disney to give them self-governance over the area that later became Walt Disney World, right?
00:03:31.000They have that as a special status granted to them by the government.
00:03:36.500This whole thing started with government.
00:03:38.080It has nothing to do with, you know, authoritarian socialism attacks.
00:04:15.500And it's finally time that conservatives like Governor DeSantis stand up and use those sovereign rights that are granted to them by the people of Florida, empowered by the Constitution of the state of Florida, the same way that all 50 states have their state constitutions empowering them, right?
00:04:34.780Empowered through our system of federalism and the constitutional republic in which we reside.
00:04:56.160Maybe you need to go listen to Freedom Papers with Morgan Zegers a little bit to understand how our government actually works or is supposed to work.
00:05:03.160Because when a government gives you a special handout, like, and by the way, he mentioned Twitter again, Section 230, again, that's immunity that's granted by the government, immunity from several sets of laws.
00:05:15.800That's also a special status that's been granted by government.
00:05:19.920If we're taking away something that government gave you and treating you the same way that we would treat any other company, that's not socialism.
00:09:42.700And then you go over there and point your finger and start telling them what they're going to do and attacking them at the same time.
00:09:48.500These people are highly educated imbeciles.
00:09:52.620I keep saying this about Secretary of State Tony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, who we know, by the way, was involved in the dossier operation all the way back in 2016.
00:10:01.280He's even somehow even dumber, somehow actually even dumber than Tony Blinken.
00:10:07.060It's like it's like it's like the you know, the apple keeps falling down.
00:10:29.380These are the people who are making decisions for three hundred fifteen million Americans.
00:10:35.760The number, of course, is going up because our borders are being poured across and they're talking about lifting Title 42 to actually stop catching people and then sending them back.
00:10:45.680Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful job that you're doing there as a president holding our foreign policy.
00:10:52.100You know, we used to have a president that talked about peace.
00:10:54.160We used to have a president that went to Saudi to the Saudis and said, you guys should deal with the radical jihadist problem in your area and we'll work with you.
00:11:59.380So what you just heard is a recording of Amber Heard mocking Johnny Depp after she battered him during one of their many arguments during the brief marriage.
00:12:11.060So you're going to say, I know I get it.
00:12:13.580You're going to say, Poso, why are you talking about this?
00:12:20.140I'm going to tell you right now why we're going to talk about this.
00:12:22.580Because every single one of you in your life has experienced or knows somebody who is a Johnny Depp that's stuck in a relationship with an Amber Heard.
00:12:39.340And because it happens to involve two people that are incredibly famous celebrities.
00:12:47.580One, you know, I get that a lot of Gen Z doesn't quite get why Johnny Depp is such a big deal.
00:12:51.800He was literally the most famous actor in the world for like 15 years, right?
00:12:58.860And so Amber Heard, you know, obviously trying to use his fame to bolster her own career, et cetera, et cetera, right?
00:13:04.020Gets, you know, gets involved with him, gets married to him.
00:13:06.540And I've had, by the way, since I've started tweeting about this trial, I have had so many people from the Hollywood kind of sphere, the movie industry reaching out to me about Amber Heard.
00:13:17.460And they're all saying, it's actually kind of sad because they're all saying, look, we always knew this about her.
00:13:54.420But Johnny Depp is suing Amber Heard specifically in this case because of an op-ed that she wrote where the Washington Post, the same place where Taylor Lorenz writes, whatever, what she calls journalism today.
00:14:10.580Amber Heard is the Taylor Lorenz of Hollywood.
00:14:15.880That op-ed was written by the Washington Post, and the Washington Post's computer servers happened to reside in northern Virginia.
00:14:25.320So Johnny Depp's lawyers, because they're well-paid lawyers, they filed suit against her in the state of Virginia.
00:14:33.140State of Virginia, which has actually very strong defamation laws, whereas federally and in many states in the U.S., we do not have very strong defamation laws.
00:14:45.040So Amber Heard lawyers were trying to get this moved over to California.
00:14:48.760Johnny Depp's lawyers said, no, no, no, right here.
00:14:51.020So this is all about this Washington Post op-ed where she claimed that she was a victim of sexual violence, right?
00:14:59.200That was the main thing she was talking about in this.
00:15:01.180Now, she doesn't actually mention Johnny Depp in the article, and they bring this up during the trial.
00:15:07.300They brought this up at some point, and they said, why, you know, she didn't mention you by name, then, you know, how can you even bring this suit?
00:15:13.300Well, it turns out that under Virginia law, you can sue someone for what's called defamation by implication.
00:15:26.220They are doing fantastic analysis on this.
00:15:29.480Totally got sucked into it watching it yesterday.
00:15:32.360But that's basically the way the case lays out.
00:15:35.440Johnny Depp's never been able to tell his side of it.
00:15:37.260Obviously, he lost his entire career, gets kicked out of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, gets kicked out of the Harry Potter prequels.
00:15:44.640He was playing the main villain there.
00:17:23.780I feel that there is I feel that that that someone is responsible for what happened.
00:17:32.060And I can't say who that is, but I know it's not me.
00:17:34.160Well, Alec Baldwin, speaking of crazy actors and actresses, is now claiming that he's been exonerated in the shooting death of Helena Hutchins, the woman that he shot and killed in New Mexico last year, where he's still yet to face any charges whatsoever for this.
00:17:53.520Look, and I'll just say it with this when it comes to Alec Baldwin, it comes to this case.
00:18:49.320Our new report has come out blaming the production team for shoddy safety that led to a star fatally shooting the cinematographer, even though he himself was a producer.
00:18:58.360New Mexico safety regulators put out a report saying that the producers were responsible for Helena Hutchins.
00:19:04.460Keep in mind, Alec Baldwin was a producer.
00:19:07.560In the report, officials cited a slew of willful and serious violations that led them to their decision and slammed producers for failing to follow safety guidelines.
00:19:17.740The producers of the Western were ordered to pay the sum by New Mexico safety regulators for safety failures over $100,000 after the death of Helena Hutchins.
00:19:27.500But, but, but, but, but what's amazing is that they say, well, Alec Baldwin was really only involved with the script and some of the casting.
00:20:06.020He'd already be convicted by the end of this.
00:20:07.880It's only because of the power of his celebrity and the fact that he was the guy that used to play, uh, former president Trump on SNL, that you're seeing this huge behind the scenes machinery work to protect him because he's one of their guys, because he's one of their guys.
00:20:42.480And by the way, when I was watching that video, speaking of this, of Malcolm Nance on MSNBC being interviewed by Joy Reid, and he's got that uniform wearing worn incorrectly and he's holding an AK.
