The Anchormen Show with Matt Gaetz

00:00:00.000 Matt Gaetz was one of the very few members in the entire Congress who bothered to stand

00:00:07.620 up against permanent Washington on behalf of his constituents.

00:00:10.660 Matt Gaetz right now, he's a problem in the Democratic Party.

00:00:13.780 He could cause a lot of hiccups in passing applause.

00:00:16.780 So we're going to keep running those stories to keep hurting him.

00:00:20.200 If you stand for the flag and kneel in prayer, if you want to build America up and not burn

00:00:26.080 her to the ground, then welcome, my fellow patriots.

00:00:29.400 You are in the right place.

00:00:31.080 This is the movement for you.

00:00:33.180 You ever watch this guy on television?

00:00:35.340 It's like a machine, Matt Gaetz.

00:00:37.700 I'm a canceled man in some corners of the Internet.

00:00:41.080 Many days I'm a marked man in Congress, a wanted man by the deep state.

00:00:45.900 They aren't really coming for me.

00:00:47.860 They're coming for you.

00:00:49.680 I'm just in the way.

00:00:50.980 Welcome to Firebrand Live.

00:00:56.980 We are simulcast streaming out of our office in the Longworth Building here on the Capitol

00:01:02.040 Complex in Washington, D.C.

00:01:03.800 We've got the publisher of Revolver.News, Dr. Darren Beattie, with us.

00:01:08.200 He'll be joining in just moments.

00:01:10.040 We're going to break down a number of very hot stories on Revolver, updates on Assange and

00:01:15.720 Pompeo, whether or not the Johnny Depp trial informs any changes to our laws that would

00:01:21.460 help vindicate the truth.

00:01:23.220 We're going to go over the failures at Evaldi, the bad laws the Congress is working to pass,

00:01:29.460 even with a significant vote today on red flag laws that we certainly are opposed to

00:01:34.380 and want to break down.

00:01:35.940 And we've got the haters active on the Facebook live stream.

00:01:39.900 Ryan Gill says, has anyone ever told me that my head is too big for my body?

00:01:44.540 The answer is, of course, yes.

00:01:46.240 I know I have a giant head.

00:01:47.700 It is where I keep my giant brain.

00:01:49.760 Patrick Davis calls me a pretty princess beavis.

00:01:52.980 Don't know quite what that means, but I've been called worse.

00:01:55.560 And Edward says the negative comments are for the sissies.

00:02:00.200 We are going to break down the red flag law issues, the Evaldi issues.

00:02:04.640 But first, we've got breaking news.

00:02:06.600 Just moments ago, I'm reading now from not that reputable a news source, but they seem to

00:02:11.400 have some quotes that are pretty attributable.

00:02:13.020 Talking Points Memo headline, FBI arrests a top GOP contender for Michigan governor for

00:02:21.360 January 6th charges.

00:02:23.720 Quote, Ryan Kelly, 40, of Allendale, Michigan, was arrested this morning on misdemeanor charges

00:02:29.560 stemming from the January 6th, 2021 Capitol breach.

00:02:34.080 Bill Miller, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, said in an email,

00:02:39.300 He was arrested in Allendale.

00:02:41.220 Mr. Kelly is to make his initial appearance this afternoon in the U.S. District Court in

00:02:45.900 Western Michigan.

00:02:47.560 The story continues.

00:02:49.160 The criminal complaint listed four charges against Kelly, knowingly entering or remaining

00:02:55.680 in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, disorderly and disruptive

00:03:00.080 conduct in a restricted building or grounds, knowingly engaging in an act of fiscal violence

00:03:05.200 against a person or property in a restricted building or grounds, and willfully injuring

00:03:09.700 or committing a depredation against any property of the United States.

00:03:15.480 An FBI agent's affidavit noted the Bureau received, quote, numerous tips that Kelly had

00:03:21.600 been at the Capitol on January 6th, including one just 10 days after the attack.

00:03:26.780 One of the people who identified Kelly was a confidential human source who'd been working

00:03:32.480 with the FBI since 2020, quote, to provide information about domestic terrorism groups

00:03:39.960 in Michigan, close quote.

00:03:42.440 The source allegedly spotted Kelly on a news media video.

00:03:46.720 Here is the background of the political context of this arrest.

00:03:50.640 We get this from Grant Hermes, a politics reporter at Local 4 Detroit, that actually Kelly was

00:03:58.360 the leading Republican for the upcoming primary, one of five candidates knocking down about

00:04:03.960 19% of the vote according to this political report from Detroit.

00:04:08.820 And we are 54 days from the August 2nd Republican gubernatorial primary in Michigan.

00:04:16.180 54 days.

00:04:17.100 Now, 45 days is really the FBI standard, DOJ standard, for not engaging in law enforcement

00:04:27.120 activity that is intended to impact the outcome of an election.

00:04:31.600 So just outside of that 45 days, nine days outside of it, the day that the Democrats are

00:04:40.740 planning their January 6th rollout hearing endeavor, you get a raid and an arrest of the leading

00:04:49.380 Republican in Michigan.

00:04:50.400 And it's never been bad when we've relied on the confidential sources in Michigan reviewing

00:04:56.660 domestic terrorism, right?

00:04:58.080 Oh, wait, there was the Gretchen Whitmer faux kidnapping debacle where the FBI inspired the

00:05:05.920 kidnapping, encouraged others to reduce the thoughts that had been really inspired by the

00:05:11.920 FBI assets and agents to writing.

00:05:13.980 It resulted in nobody being convicted in that matter that went to trial.

00:05:19.340 It resulted in, I think, a real black eye for federal law enforcement engaging in a plot

00:05:25.540 to kidnap the governor of Michigan.

00:05:27.420 And now you have sort of the remnants of that strategy manifesting in this affidavit resulting

00:05:35.560 in the arrest of the leading Republican candidate.

00:05:38.640 Dr. Darren Beattie, how should we think about this?

00:05:41.260 Well, it's remarkable on a number of levels.

00:05:45.360 First of all, as to, I'm just learning about this now, and so my analysis might develop as

00:05:53.180 I learn more about it.

00:05:54.240 But from my initial review of this story, it's first interesting to see exactly what they're

00:06:01.060 charging with.

00:06:02.520 He didn't go into the Capitol, so it's one of these trespassing issues on the grounds.

00:06:07.740 And he was allegedly kind of maybe suggesting that people move to a certain area and these

00:06:17.300 kinds of things, kind of flimsy charges, which, again, are really nothing compared to the behavior

00:06:24.040 caught on camera with respect to the infamous Ray Epps and the still-identified scaffold commander

00:06:33.340 and these other absolutely major players documented in Revolver News' series on Ray Epps that have

00:06:41.820 not been touched, not been arrested, not, you know, the feds have no interest in them.

00:06:46.900 And yet here you have someone who happens to be a very successful candidate for an important

00:06:51.900 political position in Michigan, and they hit him with the timing that is beyond suspicious.

00:06:58.660 It's downright egregious in terms of what the actual goals are.

00:07:01.140 And, Darren, let me stop you right there, because Ron on Facebook commented that it's

00:07:06.860 not just sort of the timing, but it is the manner of the arrest, right, to show up at somebody's

00:07:13.900 house with a search warrant, and, you know, these are misdemeanor charges.

00:07:17.480 And so Ron on Facebook asks, well, like, you know, is this typical for a misdemeanor to have

00:07:22.020 such a provocative use of law enforcement, when typically for a misdemeanor, you simply

00:07:27.880 ask someone to surrender themselves, and they willingly do so?

00:07:32.000 Do you think that there's a theater element, potentially, that we have to look at that sort

00:07:37.000 of extends out from the theater around the Roger Stone arrest?

00:07:41.520 Absolutely.

00:07:42.160 There's definitely fear, and, you know, there are really two components of it.

00:07:45.960 One is, who are the people who are actually the big fish and major players that they have

00:07:51.220 zero interest in?

00:07:52.700 In fact, the very people who act like this Michigan candidate and others who committed misdemeanor

00:08:00.460 offenses and even lesser offenses, that these people are serious domestic terrorists.

00:08:07.220 The same people who have that posture, like Kinsinger, like Liz Cheney, basically uniquely suspend

00:08:14.080 that aggressive, severe posture with respect to Ray Epps and others, Epps being the only

00:08:20.140 person caught on camera repeatedly telling people to go into the Capitol, who was there

00:08:25.120 at that decisive initial breach of the Capitol grounds with the fencing that allowed the rally

00:08:32.200 to turn into a riot.

00:08:33.860 For this individual and for scaffold commanders specifically, covered extensively in our reporting,

00:08:39.400 there's no interest.

00:08:40.360 And so that's who they're not interested in.

00:08:42.980 Who they are interested in tends to be just kind of bit players, people who are just loitering

00:08:48.660 around doing basically nothing too bad, but especially people who are involved in the

00:08:55.220 political process.

00:08:56.260 And we've seen this beyond this Michigan case.

00:08:58.740 We've seen still more outrageous ways that the regime has exploited January 6th to go after

00:09:06.940 his political enemies with reference to Madison Cawthorne, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and others.

00:09:14.120 And ultimately, Trump.

00:09:16.180 I mean, recent developments in the January 6th trials, the seditious conspiracy cases against

00:09:21.640 Rhodes and Tario.

00:09:22.940 This is completing the picture advanced by the January 6th committee chair, Benny Thompson,

00:09:29.140 who has this quote-unquote alley-oop theory of the case whereby various people in Trump's

00:09:37.680 inner circle played a decisive role in this so-called conspiracy to go into the Capitol.

00:09:43.880 So this is really about kneecapping the GOP and especially the populist sort of Trump adjacent

00:09:51.780 element of the GOP, kneecapping that movement so it has minimal success electorally as the

00:10:01.820 midterms approach.

00:10:02.820 Dr. Darren Beattie is the publisher of Revolver.News.

00:10:06.180 That's where you can find the most thorough investigative reporting on the people who were

00:10:11.200 animating and inspiring the highest acuity of criminal activity on January 6th.

00:10:16.640 There remain a number of key questions that we've asked the FBI that we've asked the January

00:10:20.900 6th committee about people like Ray Epps and Scaffold Commander and Ski Mask Guy, the very

00:10:26.700 people that were cutting down the fences that may have resulted in people inadvertently being

00:10:31.720 in technical violation of federal law, but in fact having no desire to participate in an

00:10:36.360 insurrection or any violence whatsoever.

00:10:39.580 Tonight is the big reveal.

00:10:41.940 It is the last best hope for the Raskinites and the Cheneistas and the Schiff Brigade to

00:10:49.100 be able to get the country to focus on January 6th, 2021, so that every day is January 6th, 2021.

00:10:56.520 And yet you also at Revolver.News have covered this FBI botched plot to entrap people into a

00:11:06.000 kidnapping plot of the governor of Michigan.

00:11:09.180 Darren, is there any chance that it is a coincidence that on the day of this big reveal of the last

00:11:15.020 best hope, you have this law enforcement activity in Michigan directed at the leading Republican

00:11:21.360 candidate for governor?

00:11:23.320 No, there's no chance that it's a coincidence.

00:11:25.980 It's coordinated.

00:11:28.580 And that's very, very clear.

00:11:30.340 It's clear from the nature.

00:11:31.080 Do you expect a lot from these, you know, tonight, do you expect the Democrats and the

00:11:34.280 Republican puppets to effectively create captivating moments?

00:11:40.400 No, I don't.

00:11:41.680 And it's nice the way you describe it because they present this as a bipartisan committee when

00:11:47.720 it's a bipartisan committee in the sense that it has a bunch of Democrats who hate Trump

00:11:52.100 and his supporters, and it has two Republicans who hate Trump and his supporters.

00:11:56.360 And that's the bipartisan committee that they've established.

00:11:59.400 But no, I think there's actually waning public interest in this.

00:12:05.620 I don't know if they depend on public interest in order to be successful, but I really doubt

00:12:12.380 they create any kind of viral moment of the sort that I think they're aiming for.

00:12:19.020 I never underestimate my enemy, and I know they failed so many times.

00:12:23.000 They seem to get a little better each time, incorporating multimedia, trying to build narrative,

00:12:28.540 curate leaks, have a willing media ready to spread their lies.

00:12:31.580 So I don't know that I share your optimism in their failure.

00:12:35.860 I think actually we may see the best version of them and certainly the most vicious and one

00:12:41.420 of the best prepared.

00:12:42.660 On the live stream right now, we've got Adam Anderson.

00:12:46.120 When will you start fighting for a convention of the states?

00:12:48.980 You know what?

00:12:49.480 I was the sponsor of the legislation that had Florida join the convention of the states.

00:12:54.660 I believe there should be a convention of the states to ensure that we have a balanced

00:12:57.380 budget amendment and that we have federal term limits for Congress.

00:13:00.100 But one thing that I don't want to negotiate away, our Second Amendment.

00:13:04.440 And in the Capitol today, the Second Amendment has been under attack.

00:13:07.960 Breaking news just now, just before we stepped into this discussion, the House of Representatives

00:13:13.980 has passed a national red flag law.

00:13:17.360 Every Democrat voted for that national red flag law, and they were joined by Republicans,

00:13:24.300 Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, and

00:13:30.260 Fred Upton from Michigan.

00:13:32.160 So an interesting group of five Republicans supporting these red flag laws, four people

00:13:38.180 who voted for impeachment, and one who, after his opposition to the Second Amendment was

00:13:44.080 expressed, dropped out of his own re-election in the Buffalo, New York area.

00:13:48.520 So when they send Republicans to take away our Second Amendment rights, they aren't exactly

00:13:53.500 sending their best, and they are sending a few of them.

00:13:57.900 But it is important to note that there is an anti-gun element of the Republican Party

00:14:01.860 supporting red flag laws, and we don't want to see members of the United States Senate

00:14:05.380 joining them.

00:14:06.260 I made that point on the floor of the House moments ago.

00:14:08.800 Take a listen.

00:14:11.400 If House Democrats were so worried about violence, they wouldn't open the borders, open the prisons,

00:14:17.260 and then disarm law-abiding Americans who want to protect themselves and protect their

00:14:21.800 families.

00:14:22.320 Chairman Nadler says that Republicans shouldn't lecture about constitutional rights, but it

00:14:28.620 was the last Democrat Speaker, Mr. Cicilline, who, in the House Judiciary Committee, said,

00:14:33.720 spare me the bullshit about people's constitutional rights.

00:14:36.920 So pardon us for standing up for the Constitution in the very due process that ensures that we're

00:14:42.840 able to have a civil functioning society in this country.

00:14:45.760 Speaker Pelosi asks the question, well, if you knew when the next act of violence would

00:14:51.720 be, why wouldn't you want to stop it?

00:14:54.480 What is this, the United States Congress or the plot for the movie Minority Report?

00:14:58.660 The best you could ever hope to have in terms of warning is what we had in the Parkland case,

00:15:04.560 where a neighbor saw Nicholas Cruz preparing for a school shooting, called the FBI, and because

00:15:10.340 they were so focused on the bureaucracy, they didn't take action.

00:15:13.680 And so that's why I'm against federalizing the regular police, and it's why I'm against

00:15:18.240 federalizing the school police, because the more the FBI was involved, the more they botched

00:15:23.060 the case, and maybe there were people dead who didn't need to be.

00:15:27.320 These red flag laws violate our Second Amendment rights, our Fifth Amendment rights, and when they

00:15:32.440 are done at the national level, they violate our Tenth Amendment rights.

00:15:35.720 And it is crazy that we are considering legislation to bribe the states to take rights away from our

00:15:42.700 fellow Americans.

00:15:43.480 And it's nuts that Republicans in the Senate, the very Republicans who say they're the classic

00:15:48.820 liberty-minded conservatives, they're now working with Democrats on this very endeavor to federalize

00:15:56.120 the school police and to engage in this bribery for the sake of deprivation of rights.

00:16:00.380 Let me give you this warning, my friends.

00:16:02.440 It is no victory.

00:16:03.880 As Mr. Carbajal said that in my beloved Florida, we've used red flag laws 8,000 times.

00:16:09.680 There weren't 8,000 school shooters we stopped, probably not even 8,000 criminals.

00:16:14.780 What we do see is that these red flag laws are used in divorce proceedings, they're used

00:16:19.660 in every type of dispute, and it shouldn't be a cudgel that way.

00:16:22.900 We'll stand up for the rights.

00:16:23.900 There's no bullshit that we will.

00:16:28.420 I was then subsequently admonished for using profanity on the House floor, but I was quoting

00:16:33.340 someone else.

00:16:34.540 Dr. Beattie, we see on Revolver News, you've got the piece up.

00:16:38.020 The Texas school shooting is proof our society is crumbling into an existential crisis.

00:16:43.480 Does that existential crisis require red flag laws?

00:16:48.220 No, I think it requires a pretty radical self-reflection with respect to mental health in this country,

00:16:58.840 with respect to the social fabric, and also maybe with respect to the priorities of our

00:17:04.720 our own intelligence apparatus, which should probably focus less on penalizing normal Americans

00:17:13.840 who want to express totally valid and mainstream political beliefs, and maybe they should focus

00:17:19.480 more on identifying, and when people disturb people like this are identified, to preventing

00:17:26.820 them from engaging in these kinds of horrific displays of violence.

00:17:33.280 Nancy Pelosi always likes to say that she's on a crusade for the children.

00:17:36.960 This is all about the children, and yet they have no problem with masking policies and mandates

00:17:43.520 that limit the social-emotional development of children when they need to gain empathy for others.

00:17:51.200 And in this piece in Revolver that talks about the existential crisis, you go through the fact

00:17:57.340 that we got a quarter of young people living in single-parent homes, and I know there are many heroes

00:18:03.040 right now as single parents that are doing the best they can and that are doing a good job

00:18:07.580 instilling strong American values in their children.

00:18:11.200 But you also talk about this feature of loneliness in the piece,

00:18:15.240 that there is a sort of a government-backed mandate of loneliness that occurred during these lockdowns.

00:18:21.380 Do you think that no matter what we do with guns, what we've done to our society

00:18:26.440 may increase the frequency of this violence going forward?

00:18:30.460 I certainly think so.

00:18:31.780 And first of all, I should say that this is actually, this is a guest piece,

00:18:35.140 a first piece by someone called Ramshah Afridi.

00:18:41.440 And so shout out to her for this excellent piece.

00:18:44.340 And I think, yes, the loneliness, these social conditions are absolutely a factor.

00:18:51.840 And as we cover in Revolver's piece on this is also, you know, people are blaming the cops,

00:18:59.820 which, you know, was very valid for their inaction and some might even say cowardice here.

00:19:05.680 Luckily, there was a heroic border patrol guy who stepped in and helped.

00:19:11.900 But the performance of the police department here was an egregious and really devastatingly

00:19:22.560 embarrassing failure for the department.

00:19:29.360 And the question is, what's wrong with these people?

00:19:32.300 And yes, we can blame the cops.

00:19:34.960 We can blame their training.

00:19:36.140 We can blame everything associated with that.

00:19:38.460 But we also have to look at what types of virtues, you know, society is encouraging.

00:19:43.680 And basically, you have this one-two punch where anyone, any display of courage,

00:19:51.140 especially by a man in these sorts of kind of chaotic civil situations,

00:19:57.400 is just as liable to be punished as it is to be celebrated.

00:20:01.280 And so in order to have a society in which, you know, men display the virtue of courage,

00:20:10.140 especially in these types of situations, you have to have the preconditions for that.

00:20:15.520 And so many cultural factors that have been intensifying over the past several years

00:20:21.260 have severely undermined those preconditions for the displays of cowardice

00:20:27.120 that society really needs and should expect in tragic situations such as this shooting.

00:20:35.640 Dr. Beattie is describing the thesis of a piece up at Revolver.

00:20:39.480 Now, let's go ahead and go to that headline.

00:20:42.700 The cowardice of Evaldi police is exactly what America asked for.

00:20:48.160 And there's an excerpt from this piece I want to get across.

00:20:51.700 I'm quoting here, across America, police routinely retire at age 55 or even younger.

00:20:58.680 In much of the country, they receive generous pensions upon retirement.

00:21:02.840 In nearby Austin, a policeman who retires after 30 years of service

00:21:05.860 will receive 75% of their base pay every year until death.

00:21:10.100 The reason policemen are pushed out of work at an early age

00:21:14.220 and the reason they were awarded such generous pensions

00:21:17.640 is far above the typical Social Security benefit

00:21:20.420 is because we trust them to risk their lives protecting others.

00:21:25.880 Yet America has largely abandoned that expectation.

00:21:30.540 Why have we abandoned that expectation, Dr. Beattie?

00:21:34.440 Well, for some of the reasons I've described,

00:21:38.120 you're just as likely the kinds of, put it this way,

00:21:42.760 when I talk about the preconditions,

00:21:44.400 the type of person who would be inclined to risk themselves in that situation

00:21:49.440 is not the type of person who's necessarily going to be celebrated

00:21:54.220 and elevated in the contemporary cultural environment.

00:21:59.240 And in fact, I think it's equally likely and maybe more likely

00:22:02.940 that such a person would be weeded out of the department

00:22:06.140 or simply be so turned off by the prevailing cultural attitudes

00:22:12.320 within that prevail within the department

00:22:15.480 and that they wouldn't even want to participate.

00:22:19.500 And so you have to think of factors like that.

00:22:22.200 Is that, is, you know, we say that we want courage

00:22:26.580 and self-sacrifice in situations like these,

00:22:29.720 but are the types of people who would actually behave in that fashion,

00:22:37.860 are those the kinds of people that we celebrate in a, you know, holistic context?

00:22:43.900 And I think the answer to that is no,

00:22:46.480 especially when it comes to police officers who, as you know,

00:22:51.880 have been demonized in all sorts of contexts.

00:22:54.800 And that has a tremendous effect on not only the type of person

00:22:58.820 who wants to be involved in that profession,

00:23:00.900 but the way that people behave once they're in the profession.

00:23:04.820 David Allen on Facebook says,

00:23:07.020 F all of you, all of you guys need to go down in flames.

00:23:10.580 So David is obviously having a terrific day.

00:23:13.200 And we also hear from James,

00:23:16.180 James saying criminals are not going to care about this red flag bill.

00:23:20.440 Certainly something I agree with.

00:23:21.800 But the point you make, Dr. Beattie, about maybe some eroding capabilities

00:23:26.620 where we otherwise could have relied upon them,

00:23:29.760 that seems to increase the importance of the force multiplier

00:23:34.680 that comes with a good guy with a gun.

00:23:37.440 In Florida, we have a Sentinel program.

00:23:40.320 I think, you know, more than 45 of our 67 counties participate in it,

00:23:44.140 where if you have specialized training,

00:23:46.160 former law enforcement, former military types,

00:23:48.460 you can actually have part of your community

00:23:51.340 be that force multiplier in the education setting

00:23:54.980 so that our schools are not soft targets.

00:23:58.460 This is an issue that I think is best set out at the state level.

00:24:03.140 And it has created some divide among Republicans in Congress.

00:24:07.520 So there is a procedural mechanism called the motion to recommit,

00:24:11.020 where essentially the minority can present

00:24:12.780 not just a no vote on a piece of legislation

00:24:16.620 or moving on to that bill,

00:24:18.000 but can present an alternative piece of legislation.

00:24:21.500 And here, you know, I'm unequivocally opposed

00:24:23.640 to the gun control package the Democrats put forward,

00:24:27.080 unequivocally opposed to red flag laws,

00:24:28.860 but the Republican alternative was a series of grants

00:24:33.220 from the federal government to states and school districts

00:24:36.180 for school resource officers,

00:24:38.680 for school hardening, and the like.

00:24:40.880 And I did not vote for that alternative

00:24:43.860 because I don't think that we ought to federalize

00:24:46.880 the school police.

00:24:48.160 I don't believe that you want your local constable's office,

00:24:51.740 excuse me there,

00:24:52.540 or your local sheriff's office

00:24:53.920 entirely dependent upon federal grants.

00:24:57.540 Because before you know it,

00:24:59.240 there'll be some rule promulgated

00:25:01.080 and that law enforcement officer there

00:25:03.160 as a consequence of a federal grant

00:25:04.700 is not going to be able to walk across the transom

00:25:07.700 in the school without announcing their pronouns in advance.

00:25:10.420 So do you think Republicans get it wrong

00:25:12.720 when our reflexive response

00:25:15.000 to some of these horrific acts of violence

00:25:17.440 is to excessively entangle the federal government

00:25:21.560 in what ought to be state police powers?

00:25:24.480 I do.

00:25:25.480 And in fact, I'd have to say that

00:25:27.820 I think most of the proposals put forward

00:25:31.140 at best don't do anything

00:25:35.300 and in many cases could actually make

00:25:37.380 the general situation worse.

00:25:39.080 And I think that's the case

00:25:40.220 when it comes to further aggrandizing

00:25:43.280 and empowering federal forces

00:25:47.400 as opposed to local.

00:25:49.420 I don't think it's a federal local issue.

00:25:51.580 It's an issue that's sort of deeper than that.

00:25:54.720 And also I'd like to point out

00:25:56.060 that just at the time

00:25:59.420 that we're seeing increasing incompetence

00:26:01.340 when it comes to law enforcement officials

00:26:05.220 on maybe both levels, local and federal,

00:26:09.020 you're seeing the aggressive demonization

00:26:13.560 of so-called vigilantism.

00:26:16.040 In fact, you know, the idea-

00:26:17.560 Well, aren't we all vigilantes now, Darren?

00:26:19.500 I mean, Nancy Pelosi said

00:26:20.980 every Republican is a cult member.

00:26:23.160 So aren't they trying to say,

00:26:24.560 they're trying to highlight

00:26:25.540 very minimal acts of vigilantism

00:26:28.520 in some areas

00:26:29.900 that we certainly all want to stop.

00:26:31.560 But then they want to cast that

00:26:33.140 as an aspersion onto everyone

00:26:35.800 who voted for Trump

00:26:36.920 or has an America First hashtag.

00:26:39.680 Right.

00:26:40.000 Well, at the same time

00:26:41.160 as we're seeing this incompetence,

00:26:42.740 we're seeing such an aggressive policing

00:26:46.980 and aggressive hostility

00:26:50.620 toward vigilantism.

00:26:52.620 You see it in the response

00:26:55.380 to somebody like Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:26:57.820 And this gets to a core of people

00:27:00.480 who say, yes,

00:27:01.440 the Second Amendment is important.

00:27:03.140 But, you know,

00:27:04.020 Second Amendment isn't just about,

00:27:06.120 oh, whether you're able to, like,

00:27:07.920 you know, purchase an AR-15

00:27:09.980 and take a photo of it for Instagram

00:27:12.180 or, you know,

00:27:13.060 with an American flag in the background

00:27:14.880 and just leave it at that.

00:27:16.680 The Second Amendment

00:27:18.760 is in effect

00:27:20.340 neutered,

00:27:22.220 impotent,

00:27:22.760 and worthless

00:27:23.540 if, in practice,

00:27:25.780 you're not able

00:27:26.980 to use it

00:27:28.360 in a self-defense situation.

00:27:32.060 If anyone who uses

00:27:34.920 a firearm

00:27:35.580 in a self-defense situation

00:27:37.060 gets the Kyle Rittenhouse treatment

00:27:39.600 or even the McCloskey treatment,

00:27:42.400 then we don't really have

00:27:44.400 a Second Amendment.

00:27:45.240 And I think that's not enough.

00:27:48.180 The Second Amendment types

00:27:50.340 don't really focus

00:27:52.380 on that element enough.

00:27:54.160 They're focused on,

00:27:55.000 oh, can we, you know,

00:27:56.960 how many bullets can we have

00:27:58.380 in this magazine?

00:27:59.080 Or can we have

00:27:59.820 this specific type of gun or not?

00:28:01.560 Or what are the restrictions

00:28:03.040 in acquiring a firearm?

00:28:04.440 I'm not to say

00:28:05.100 that those aren't important,

00:28:06.760 but they're really moot

00:28:08.900 if, in practice,

00:28:10.180 you're not really able

00:28:11.480 to use your firearm

00:28:12.860 in a self-defense situation

00:28:15.000 without the full force

00:28:16.540 of the state

00:28:17.300 and the media

00:28:17.900 coming after you

00:28:18.780 to destroy you.

00:28:20.080 A fully vindicated

00:28:21.260 Second Amendment

00:28:22.080 is what we stand for.

00:28:23.320 And if the Congress

00:28:23.920 is to be doing anything,

00:28:25.380 it would be vindicating

00:28:26.780 the rights of our citizens

00:28:28.480 when they're infringed upon

00:28:30.040 by states

00:28:30.940 or local governments

00:28:32.260 that think that they have

00:28:33.180 the final say

00:28:33.880 on what are natural rights.

00:28:36.000 George O'Neill says,

00:28:37.120 if I have 50 guns

00:28:38.340 and the government

00:28:38.960 takes 40 away,

00:28:39.920 how many do I have left?

00:28:41.640 And he responds

00:28:42.260 to his own question.

00:28:43.520 I have 50 left

00:28:44.620 because I lied

00:28:45.960 about only having 50.

00:28:47.800 They leave the gun conversation there

00:28:49.660 because there's a certain arrogance

00:28:52.000 that comes with policymakers

00:28:54.500 who believe that the laws

00:28:56.380 they pass have their own fiat.

00:28:58.700 There is the whole element

00:28:59.860 of the citizenry

00:29:01.820 and their ultimate final say

00:29:03.720 on some of these questions.

00:29:05.280 Dr. Beattie,

00:29:06.600 on revolver.news,

00:29:08.020 you have highlighted

00:29:09.400 a piece from Zero Hedge

00:29:11.040 entitled

00:29:11.880 Spanish Court Orders Mike Pompeo

00:29:14.440 to Testify

00:29:15.480 on CIA Plot

00:29:17.460 to Kill or Kidnap Assange.

00:29:19.680 Why did this piece

00:29:20.300 stick out to you?

00:29:21.900 Well, we've been following

00:29:22.740 this very closely

00:29:23.700 and revolver.news

00:29:25.740 since we're sort of,

00:29:27.640 I like to think

00:29:29.160 we're at the forefront

00:29:29.940 of exposing

00:29:31.320 misbehavior

00:29:33.780 on the part

00:29:34.300 of the national security state.

00:29:35.960 And so we're very much

00:29:37.220 in the sphere

00:29:38.100 of WikiLeaks

00:29:40.000 even though

00:29:40.560 we don't

00:29:41.440 we don't do

00:29:42.660 the same thing

00:29:43.500 and I certainly hope

00:29:44.540 I don't end up

00:29:45.640 with the same fate

00:29:46.360 as Assange

00:29:46.980 but I certainly have

00:29:47.960 an affinity

00:29:48.460 for him

00:29:49.360 and what he's doing

00:29:50.080 and for the

00:29:50.860 absolutely

00:29:52.340 outrageous

00:29:53.480 treatment

00:29:54.620 that he's received

00:29:55.780 on behalf

00:29:56.460 of the

00:29:57.020 U.S. government

00:29:58.300 and other entities.

00:29:59.580 and you know

00:30:01.220 the story

00:30:01.700 came out

00:30:02.700 a while ago

00:30:05.020 that

00:30:05.440 Pompeo

00:30:07.600 sort of denies it

00:30:09.180 and so

00:30:09.680 maybe it's not

00:30:11.040 truth

00:30:11.820 or the full truth

00:30:12.720 but

00:30:13.060 it certainly seems

00:30:14.680 within the ballpark

00:30:15.640 of ideas

00:30:16.700 that were entertained

00:30:17.740 along the lines

00:30:19.240 of

00:30:19.700 assassinating Assange

00:30:21.740 certainly

00:30:22.160 and spying on him

00:30:23.460 taking stuff

00:30:24.220 from him

00:30:24.700 and

00:30:26.480 Spanish court

00:30:27.640 really wants to hear

00:30:28.360 more about this

00:30:29.240 and Pompeo

00:30:30.320 is allegedly

00:30:30.940 a central figure

00:30:31.860 in this

00:30:32.200 which would make sense

00:30:33.040 given what his role

00:30:34.040 was at the time

00:30:34.900 you know

00:30:35.420 he's the head

00:30:36.240 of the intelligence

00:30:37.240 agency

00:30:37.780 head of the CIA

00:30:39.080 and so forth

00:30:39.980 and so

00:30:40.920 this is just

00:30:41.460 something that

00:30:42.160 we're tracking

00:30:42.840 very closely

00:30:43.640 because

00:30:44.240 Assange

00:30:45.220 is really

00:30:46.920 you know

00:30:47.200 for all the talk

00:30:48.020 about how important

00:30:49.300 journalists are

00:30:50.100 and what they mean

00:30:50.760 by that

00:30:51.240 is that

00:30:51.680 journalists

00:30:52.300 should be able

00:30:53.180 to attack

00:30:53.720 and smear

00:30:54.240 and destroy

00:30:54.760 people

00:30:55.320 without any

00:30:56.360 repercussions

00:30:57.060 without being

00:30:57.660 criticized at all

00:30:58.780 and you know

00:30:59.880 you can be a

00:31:00.400 Washington Post

00:31:01.020 reporter

00:31:01.480 and smear people

00:31:02.460 but the second

00:31:03.140 somebody questions

00:31:04.280 your intelligence

00:31:05.080 your credentials

00:31:05.900 or your professionalism

00:31:07.800 that amounts

00:31:08.600 to harassment

00:31:09.300 that has to be

00:31:10.540 you know

00:31:10.820 treated like

00:31:11.960 you know

00:31:13.340 some great tragedy

00:31:14.300 that's what

00:31:15.120 the regime means

00:31:16.400 when they say

00:31:17.020 journalists are important

00:31:18.040 but what should

00:31:18.920 actually

00:31:19.400 what it should

00:31:21.120 actually mean

00:31:21.780 is that people

00:31:22.480 like Assange

00:31:23.300 are important

00:31:24.340 and that

00:31:25.340 it is a

00:31:25.900 genuine threat

00:31:26.900 to journalism

00:31:28.520 it's a genuine

00:31:29.320 threat

00:31:29.660 to the people

00:31:30.620 learning the truth

00:31:31.880 that they deserve

00:31:32.560 to know

00:31:32.940 about their own

00:31:33.540 government

00:31:33.920 to see what's

00:31:35.580 happened to Assange

00:31:36.560 and so for that

00:31:37.960 reason I think

00:31:38.620 it's something

00:31:39.040 that everyone

00:31:39.600 should care about

00:31:40.500 and just as a

00:31:41.400 side part

00:31:42.100 the role

00:31:42.640 that Pompeo

00:31:43.340 may have played

00:31:44.140 and you know

00:31:45.220 I'll kind of

00:31:45.920 go out on a limb

00:31:46.660 here

00:31:46.920 I know many of

00:31:48.180 your listeners

00:31:49.040 might disagree

00:31:49.840 and that's fine

00:31:50.680 but I think

00:31:53.300 despite the fact

00:31:54.180 that he served

00:31:55.220 in the Trump

00:31:55.720 administration

00:31:56.240 and he did

00:31:57.000 some good things

00:31:57.840 in fact a lot

00:31:58.480 of good things

00:31:59.100 Pompeo himself

00:32:00.340 is an ambiguous

00:32:01.420 figure I think

00:32:02.860 with respect

00:32:03.420 to the deep state

00:32:04.300 and I think

00:32:04.880 in many ways

00:32:05.660 he does kind

00:32:06.560 of toe

00:32:07.180 the deep state

00:32:07.980 line

00:32:08.900 and this

00:32:11.040 Assange

00:32:13.100 storyline

00:32:14.060 was certainly

00:32:14.780 confirms

00:32:15.560 that aspect

00:32:16.720 of Pompeo's

00:32:18.280 orientation

00:32:18.960 and career

00:32:19.660 despite the

00:32:21.580 spiciness

00:32:22.140 of the headline

00:32:22.700 it does not

00:32:23.280 appear that

00:32:23.740 Mike Pompeo

00:32:24.420 is going to

00:32:24.680 be testifying

00:32:25.280 anytime soon

00:32:26.120 there seem to

00:32:26.840 be serious

00:32:27.240 questions over

00:32:27.840 whether or not

00:32:28.260 they have the

00:32:28.660 jurisdiction

00:32:29.080 to force that

00:32:30.280 testimony

00:32:30.700 but it's

00:32:31.500 interesting

00:32:31.960 that the

00:32:32.740 questions

00:32:33.220 are being

00:32:33.900 asked

00:32:34.400 Dr.

00:32:35.080 Beattie

00:32:35.280 you've got

00:32:35.700 another big

00:32:36.280 piece up

00:32:36.740 at revolver.news

00:32:38.000 I thought

00:32:39.300 America

00:32:39.880 was done

00:32:40.780 with Johnny Depp

00:32:41.720 and Amber

00:32:42.120 Hurd

00:32:42.400 I thought

00:32:42.740 we celebrated

00:32:43.560 the verdict

00:32:44.280 the right

00:32:45.000 guy won

00:32:45.780 the right

00:32:46.660 gal lost

00:32:47.460 but you say

00:32:48.420 that we must

00:32:49.020 continue

00:32:49.480 to relive

00:32:50.160 this

00:32:50.460 how GOP

00:32:51.540 legislatures

00:32:52.260 can copy

00:32:52.980 Johnny Depp

00:32:53.820 and defang

00:32:54.980 the lying

00:32:55.600 press tomorrow

00:32:56.360 with one

00:32:57.280 simple trick

00:32:58.260 and in the

00:32:58.780 piece

00:32:59.100 you write

00:32:59.960 Captain Jack

00:33:00.560 Sparrow's

00:33:00.980 big win

00:33:01.560 is proof

00:33:02.360 that America's

00:33:03.400 courts

00:33:03.780 remain a

00:33:04.540 venue

00:33:04.920 where Americans

00:33:05.880 can defend

00:33:06.680 their reputations

00:33:07.700 and win

00:33:08.220 justice for

00:33:08.940 themselves

00:33:09.380 without playing

00:33:10.740 the ever-changing

00:33:11.660 rules of a

00:33:12.820 sinister and

00:33:13.500 malicious media

00:33:14.440 and the legal

00:33:15.240 argument that

00:33:16.360 you make

00:33:16.800 is that

00:33:17.360 there are a

00:33:18.440 number of

00:33:18.840 categories

00:33:19.460 that constitute

00:33:20.600 defamation

00:33:21.400 per se

00:33:22.080 that is

00:33:22.840 you don't

00:33:23.100 have to

00:33:23.580 prove

00:33:24.180 that if

00:33:24.520 people do

00:33:25.060 these things

00:33:25.620 to you

00:33:26.080 that it

00:33:26.540 is harmful

00:33:27.120 that they

00:33:27.600 are so

00:33:28.340 by very

00:33:28.840 nature

00:33:29.300 harmful

00:33:29.820 that that

00:33:31.020 element

00:33:31.420 of the

00:33:32.220 claim

00:33:32.720 is met

00:33:33.300 things like

00:33:34.260 alleging a

00:33:35.020 person is

00:33:35.860 involved in

00:33:36.720 criminal activity

00:33:37.580 if they're

00:33:38.080 not

00:33:38.440 claiming a

00:33:39.100 person is

00:33:39.560 unethical

00:33:40.220 and competent

00:33:40.940 claiming that

00:33:42.000 they contain

00:33:42.720 some sort

00:33:43.180 of loathsome

00:33:43.800 disease

00:33:44.560 has engaged

00:33:45.680 in sexual

00:33:46.460 misconduct

00:33:47.180 and your

00:33:48.320 argument is

00:33:49.440 that this

00:33:49.860 list needs

00:33:50.880 to expand

00:33:51.760 throughout the

00:33:52.440 several states

00:33:53.140 to include

00:33:54.280 the type of

00:33:55.600 of doxing

00:33:56.520 that has

00:33:57.560 that is often

00:33:58.600 ruined lives

00:33:59.660 why should the

00:34:00.880 list be expanded

00:34:01.560 yes so

00:34:02.840 first of all

00:34:03.580 like we like

00:34:04.460 the spoonful

00:34:05.620 of sugar

00:34:06.320 and the

00:34:06.840 medicine

00:34:07.200 at revolver

00:34:07.900 dot news

00:34:08.500 and we

00:34:08.820 thought

00:34:09.180 given that

00:34:10.040 amazingly

00:34:11.100 or maybe

00:34:11.600 not amazingly

00:34:12.460 but the

00:34:13.000 johnny

00:34:13.400 depp amber

00:34:14.100 herd

00:34:14.620 defamation

00:34:15.320 trial

00:34:15.900 exceeded

00:34:17.020 by far

00:34:18.120 any of

00:34:19.140 the things

00:34:19.620 that we

00:34:20.020 you know

00:34:20.460 ukraine

00:34:21.460 all of

00:34:22.740 that it

00:34:23.120 exceeded

00:34:23.580 everything

00:34:24.240 in terms

00:34:24.980 of media

00:34:25.460 coverage

00:34:25.940 and interest

00:34:26.480 it was

00:34:26.860 the hottest

00:34:27.620 thing

00:34:28.020 in the

00:34:28.300 news

00:34:28.560 cycle

00:34:29.040 for the

00:34:30.280 american

00:34:30.660 people

00:34:31.180 that's

00:34:31.740 just a

00:34:32.160 fact

00:34:32.520 and so

00:34:32.980 it

00:34:33.120 thought

00:34:33.300 hey

00:34:33.560 let's

00:34:34.340 that's

00:34:35.020 the

00:34:35.200 spoonful

00:34:35.580 of

00:34:35.980 sugar

00:34:36.320 but

00:34:37.000 the

00:34:37.260 medicine

00:34:37.640 is

00:34:37.940 very

00:34:38.160 important

00:34:38.680 medicine

00:34:39.200 the medicine

00:34:39.740 is something

00:34:40.320 that could be

00:34:41.260 a genuine

00:34:41.960 game changer

00:34:42.780 in terms

00:34:43.420 of the

00:34:44.460 journalists

00:34:45.600 precisely the

00:34:46.400 journalists

00:34:46.720 i was talking

00:34:47.240 about before

00:34:47.880 who think

00:34:48.340 they can ruin

00:34:48.900 people's lives

00:34:49.640 and the second

00:34:50.180 they're attacked

00:34:50.860 it's some

00:34:51.320 kind of great

00:34:51.840 tragedy

00:34:52.340 to engage

00:34:54.920 in a specific

00:34:55.660 type of

00:34:56.760 smear

00:34:57.880 journalism

00:34:58.440 and that's

00:34:59.080 i mean

00:34:59.380 i think

00:34:59.760 you've been

00:35:00.200 subject to it

00:35:01.160 a little bit

00:35:01.580 i certainly

00:35:02.160 have

00:35:02.600 and that

00:35:03.000 is when

00:35:03.520 the media

00:35:04.400 will attack

00:35:05.200 you by

00:35:05.720 just doing

00:35:06.780 multiple

00:35:07.320 headlines

00:35:07.960 and they

00:35:08.540 just include

00:35:09.220 a term

00:35:09.700 like

00:35:10.100 racist

00:35:10.800 like white

00:35:11.540 supremacist

00:35:12.420 all these

00:35:13.020 types of

00:35:14.060 terms

00:35:14.240 the two

00:35:14.800 worst things

00:35:15.340 they can say

00:35:15.880 about you

00:35:16.440 are that

00:35:16.820 you're a racist

00:35:17.520 or a rapist

00:35:18.380 and they're only

00:35:18.960 one letter

00:35:19.400 apart

00:35:19.800 and if

00:35:20.280 they're not

00:35:20.580 going to

00:35:20.760 call you

00:35:21.060 one

00:35:21.300 they're going

00:35:21.540 to call

00:35:21.840 you the

00:35:22.380 other

00:35:22.720 over time

00:35:24.020 and a lot

00:35:24.900 of people

00:35:25.220 are sick

00:35:25.600 of it

00:35:25.840 and a lot

00:35:26.200 of people

00:35:26.500 wonder whether

00:35:27.080 or not

00:35:27.280 the courts

00:35:27.740 are an

00:35:28.260 appropriate

00:35:28.580 area

00:35:28.920 you seem

00:35:29.360 to be

00:35:29.740 you seem

00:35:30.360 to be

00:35:30.740 a cheerleader

00:35:31.540 for state

00:35:32.800 court actions

00:35:33.740 as a remedy

00:35:34.920 there's a really

00:35:36.040 interesting thought

00:35:37.060 exercise to be

00:35:38.360 conducted

00:35:38.820 one could say

00:35:40.240 that there

00:35:40.700 shouldn't be

00:35:41.180 any kind

00:35:41.840 of you know

00:35:42.340 one could have

00:35:43.120 a general

00:35:43.900 critique of

00:35:44.600 defamation

00:35:45.160 laws

00:35:45.600 mine is

00:35:46.100 more of a

00:35:47.220 kind of

00:35:47.620 comparative

00:35:48.400 observation

00:35:49.280 if we're

00:35:50.380 going to

00:35:50.940 have categories

00:35:52.080 that fall

00:35:52.660 under defamatory

00:35:53.660 per se

00:35:54.180 that means

00:35:54.740 that they're

00:35:55.500 considered

00:35:56.080 such a

00:35:56.980 severe

00:35:57.460 tack

00:35:57.880 on one's

00:35:58.380 reputation

00:35:58.980 that it

00:35:59.700 doesn't

00:36:00.020 you don't

00:36:00.360 have to

00:36:00.740 prove damages

00:36:01.420 you don't

00:36:01.700 have to

00:36:01.940 prove anything

00:36:02.420 else

00:36:02.760 it's simply

00:36:03.260 the nature

00:36:04.400 of the

00:36:04.740 accusation

00:36:05.460 is so

00:36:06.040 severe

00:36:06.680 that it's

00:36:07.420 considered

00:36:07.860 per se

00:36:08.440 defamatory

00:36:09.300 and the

00:36:11.220 categories

00:36:12.380 that currently

00:36:13.580 are considered

00:36:14.480 defamatory

00:36:15.380 per se

00:36:16.020 are really

00:36:16.780 categories

00:36:17.380 that have

00:36:18.260 fairly

00:36:19.360 minimal

00:36:19.980 reputational

00:36:20.800 damage

00:36:21.260 certainly

00:36:21.580 compared to

00:36:22.300 accusations

00:36:22.820 like racism

00:36:23.680 white

00:36:23.940 nationalism

00:36:24.320 for instance

00:36:25.080 one of the

00:36:25.860 categories

00:36:26.320 is defamatory

00:36:27.340 per se

00:36:28.240 is to

00:36:29.480 question

00:36:30.040 a woman's

00:36:31.020 not anyone's

00:36:31.760 to question

00:36:32.360 a woman's

00:36:33.600 chastity

00:36:34.220 that's right

00:36:34.820 now the

00:36:35.520 idea that

00:36:36.400 in 2022

00:36:37.560 the era

00:36:38.600 of slut

00:36:39.800 pride

00:36:40.440 parades

00:36:41.120 and all of

00:36:41.620 these things

00:36:42.280 that questioning

00:36:43.980 a woman's

00:36:45.040 chastity

00:36:46.340 is a

00:36:47.540 incurs

00:36:48.560 greater

00:36:49.140 reputational

00:36:50.020 damage

00:36:50.640 than the

00:36:51.200 media

00:36:51.520 smearing

00:36:52.020 somebody

00:36:52.540 as a

00:36:52.980 racist

00:36:53.300 and white

00:36:53.700 nationalists

00:36:54.340 is ridiculous

00:36:55.560 the entire

00:36:57.040 especially

00:36:57.700 when the

00:36:58.160 entire

00:36:58.560 legal

00:36:59.140 architecture

00:36:59.780 and we've

00:37:00.240 covered this

00:37:00.760 in revolver

00:37:01.360 news and

00:37:02.160 other pieces

00:37:02.800 the entire

00:37:03.580 legal

00:37:04.000 architecture

00:37:04.660 post-civil

00:37:05.700 rights

00:37:06.100 with the

00:37:06.720 implementation

00:37:07.220 of disparate

00:37:08.160 impact

00:37:08.680 is oriented

00:37:10.100 around the

00:37:10.960 premise that

00:37:11.760 racism

00:37:12.960 quote unquote

00:37:14.020 is the

00:37:14.680 absolute

00:37:15.180 worst

00:37:15.660 possible

00:37:16.200 thing

00:37:16.660 it is

00:37:17.460 there's a

00:37:18.060 great

00:37:18.420 book

00:37:19.980 called

00:37:20.360 glass

00:37:20.980 jaw

00:37:21.660 and I

00:37:22.020 forget

00:37:22.300 the

00:37:22.540 author

00:37:22.820 but it's

00:37:23.320 from a

00:37:23.840 PR

00:37:24.160 professional

00:37:24.760 absolutely

00:37:25.280 fascinating

00:37:25.940 book

00:37:26.340 and he

00:37:26.800 goes into

00:37:27.300 a lot

00:37:27.820 of high

00:37:28.220 profile

00:37:28.620 cases

00:37:29.100 he was

00:37:29.460 involved

00:37:29.820 in doing

00:37:30.300 crisis

00:37:30.940 management

00:37:31.420 for all

00:37:31.860 types of

00:37:34.780 and all

00:37:35.480 different

00:37:35.780 types of

00:37:36.200 circumstances

00:37:36.800 and even

00:37:37.620 this guy

00:37:38.080 acknowledges

00:37:38.620 the one

00:37:39.320 thing

00:37:39.720 the one

00:37:40.340 type of

00:37:40.920 PR mess

00:37:41.800 that is

00:37:42.420 almost

00:37:42.880 impossible

00:37:43.520 to clean

00:37:44.040 up

00:37:44.280 is the

00:37:44.800 PR mess

00:37:45.420 of racism

00:37:45.960 it's just

00:37:46.400 too damaging

00:37:47.200 and that's

00:37:49.080 that's the

00:37:49.540 way it is

00:37:50.040 it's really

00:37:50.520 the summa

00:37:51.140 malum

00:37:51.560 it's the

00:37:52.000 worst

00:37:52.300 possible

00:37:52.820 thing

00:37:53.300 that you

00:37:54.000 could be

00:37:54.600 in

00:37:55.120 contemporary

00:37:55.720 American

00:37:56.240 society

00:37:56.820 and all

00:37:57.500 of the

00:37:57.900 dominant

00:37:58.260 institutions

00:37:59.040 are really

00:38:00.460 animated

00:38:01.120 by

00:38:02.080 by that

00:38:03.640 notion

00:38:04.160 but isn't

00:38:04.660 that isn't

00:38:05.080 that why

00:38:05.440 these changes

00:38:05.940 in the law

00:38:06.400 won't occur

00:38:07.040 because it's

00:38:07.980 become such

00:38:08.520 a valuable

00:38:09.140 tool of

00:38:10.100 the media

00:38:10.660 and the

00:38:11.060 left

00:38:11.280 and frankly

00:38:12.120 even the

00:38:12.640 establishment

00:38:13.160 right to

00:38:14.120 try to get

00:38:14.680 rid of

00:38:15.040 people that

00:38:15.780 are challenging

00:38:17.220 a prevailing

00:38:17.960 narrative to

00:38:18.560 call them

00:38:18.920 racists

00:38:19.300 they would

00:38:19.660 never want

00:38:20.320 special

00:38:20.920 protections

00:38:21.380 in the

00:38:21.740 state law

00:38:22.140 because they

00:38:22.580 don't want

00:38:22.820 to be

00:38:23.060 especially

00:38:23.540 cautious

00:38:24.020 about that

00:38:24.720 well exactly

00:38:25.700 but that

00:38:26.240 on the flip

00:38:26.840 side

00:38:27.100 that's why

00:38:27.840 if achieved

00:38:29.100 this would

00:38:29.540 be a game

00:38:31.420 changer

00:38:31.840 and the fact

00:38:32.700 that it

00:38:33.000 could occur

00:38:33.540 at the

00:38:33.860 state level

00:38:34.600 through state

00:38:35.300 legislatures

00:38:36.080 means that

00:38:36.860 it could be

00:38:37.400 a promising

00:38:37.980 approach

00:38:38.580 in some

00:38:39.500 states

00:38:39.900 and furthermore

00:38:41.020 I should

00:38:41.900 point out

00:38:42.420 it really

00:38:42.880 kind of

00:38:43.320 illuminates

00:38:44.040 some of

00:38:44.520 the nature

00:38:45.340 of the

00:38:45.720 power of

00:38:46.200 these accusations

00:38:46.960 of racism

00:38:47.620 white nationalism

00:38:48.260 because nobody

00:38:48.980 knows what

00:38:49.600 those mean

00:38:50.260 in fact

00:38:51.260 they derive

00:38:52.160 a lot of

00:38:52.700 their power

00:38:53.360 from its

00:38:54.300 ambiguity

00:38:55.020 and so

00:38:55.920 to reorient

00:38:57.040 defamation

00:38:57.720 law to

00:38:58.380 consider these

00:38:59.560 more as

00:39:00.020 factual

00:39:00.540 accusations

00:39:01.340 and therefore

00:39:02.460 they need

00:39:03.000 to be

00:39:03.840 subject

00:39:04.660 to more

00:39:05.240 sort of

00:39:05.620 operational

00:39:06.320 definitions

00:39:07.100 and more

00:39:07.620 precisely

00:39:08.160 defined

00:39:08.840 that could

00:39:09.620 also defang

00:39:10.660 these effects

00:39:11.280 so say

00:39:11.760 okay you

00:39:12.520 call me a

00:39:13.040 white nationalism

00:39:13.640 what specifically

00:39:14.820 does that mean

00:39:15.680 because now

00:39:16.500 all it means

00:39:17.180 is that

00:39:17.720 the regime

00:39:18.480 media doesn't

00:39:19.320 like you

00:39:19.840 for whatever

00:39:20.520 reason

00:39:21.040 and so

00:39:21.960 I think

00:39:23.420 it's just

00:39:24.120 a very

00:39:24.500 interesting

00:39:24.980 exercise

00:39:25.560 it's a

00:39:26.380 very important

00:39:27.580 point

00:39:28.140 most people

00:39:28.760 don't know

00:39:29.380 this

00:39:29.780 but this

00:39:30.420 goes to

00:39:31.080 the core

00:39:31.740 of how

00:39:32.660 the hit

00:39:33.420 piece

00:39:33.780 media

00:39:34.220 can destroy

00:39:35.200 people

00:39:35.620 but also

00:39:36.160 intimidate

00:39:36.800 people

00:39:37.120 because

00:39:37.580 frankly

00:39:38.440 and it's

00:39:39.120 unfortunate

00:39:39.560 but a lot

00:39:40.160 of people

00:39:40.580 are terrified

00:39:41.520 of the

00:39:42.000 media

00:39:42.340 and their

00:39:44.300 behavior is

00:39:45.280 conditioned

00:39:45.720 by the fact

00:39:46.420 that they

00:39:46.760 want to

00:39:47.280 avoid

00:39:47.780 precisely

00:39:48.420 these kinds

00:39:49.080 of damaging

00:39:49.620 attacks

00:39:50.180 so it

00:39:50.820 would be

00:39:51.080 an absolute

00:39:51.760 blow

00:39:52.400 to the

00:39:53.040 power

00:39:53.360 of the

00:39:53.640 regime

00:39:54.060 to

00:39:54.580 kneel

00:39:56.780 on the

00:39:57.160 necks

00:39:57.440 of its

00:39:57.840 enemies

00:39:58.220 so to

00:39:58.640 speak

00:39:58.920 the world

00:40:00.220 according

00:40:00.680 to dr

00:40:01.280 bd

00:40:01.700 you cannot

00:40:02.380 have your

00:40:02.960 slut pride

00:40:03.540 parades

00:40:04.040 and your

00:40:04.600 gender based

00:40:05.200 chastity

00:40:05.660 protections

00:40:06.140 and defamation

00:40:06.900 law

00:40:07.260 while at the

00:40:07.960 same time

00:40:08.540 being able

00:40:08.960 to call

00:40:09.380 people

00:40:09.680 racists

00:40:22.240 inflection

00:40:48.360 here's the

00:40:49.260 here's the

00:40:49.720 question that

00:40:50.400 republicans

00:40:51.220 struggle with

00:40:52.360 frequently

00:40:52.760 in washington

00:40:53.580 do you

00:40:57.940 of

00:40:58.100 dignity

00:40:58.480 do you

00:40:59.020 engage

00:40:59.580 do you

00:40:59.820 push

00:41:00.100 back

00:41:00.580 do you

00:41:00.900 show

00:41:01.100 the

00:41:01.280 inconsistencies

00:41:02.280 do you

00:41:02.560 reveal

00:41:02.860 the

00:41:03.080 biases

00:41:03.540 do you

00:41:04.180 do

00:41:04.380 what

00:41:04.760 we

00:41:05.000 did

00:41:05.320 during

00:41:05.740 the

00:41:06.200 russia

00:41:06.440 hoax

00:41:06.820 and then

00:41:07.080 the

00:41:07.240 subsequent

00:41:07.600 ukraine

00:41:08.360 hoax

00:41:09.020 or

00:41:10.000 do you

00:41:10.680 just

00:41:10.860 ignore

00:41:11.320 that

00:41:11.640 stuff

00:41:12.060 make

00:41:12.520 them

00:41:12.700 look

00:41:12.880 like

00:41:13.080 fools

00:41:13.460 for

00:41:13.680 talking

00:41:14.040 about

00:41:14.400 it

00:41:14.600 and

00:41:15.020 press

00:41:15.420 these

00:41:15.740 kitchen

00:41:16.120 table

00:41:16.460 issues

00:41:17.000 frankly

00:41:17.280 i do

00:41:17.800 hear

00:41:18.060 more

00:41:18.340 about

00:41:19.040 office

00:41:19.460 than

00:41:23.580 way

00:41:23.900 or

00:41:24.140 the

00:41:24.320 other

00:41:24.580 what

00:41:25.820 should

00:41:26.960 be

00:41:27.360 the

00:41:27.740 republican

00:41:28.260 effort

00:41:28.840 on

00:41:29.460 these

00:41:29.860 exploding

00:41:30.940 crises

00:41:31.620 across

00:41:32.380 the

00:41:32.600 board

00:41:32.800 do we

00:41:33.060 have

00:41:33.200 to

00:41:33.320 pick

00:41:33.540 and

00:41:33.740 choose

00:41:34.000 or

00:41:34.440 do

00:41:34.940 you

00:41:35.640 divide

00:41:36.620 the

00:41:36.820 energy

00:41:37.100 by

00:41:37.540 pushing

00:41:38.060 it

00:41:38.200 all

00:41:38.380 of

00:41:38.500 it

00:41:38.660 that's

00:41:40.000 a

00:41:40.080 great

00:41:40.260 question

00:41:40.740 and

00:41:40.940 i

00:41:41.060 would

00:41:41.220 say

00:41:41.440 for

00:41:42.920 the

00:41:43.100 most

00:41:43.400 part

00:41:43.820 the

00:41:44.220 GOP

00:41:44.720 should

00:41:44.960 stay

00:41:45.220 out

00:41:45.440 of

00:41:45.540 it

00:41:45.640 and

00:41:45.760 i

00:41:45.880 only

00:41:46.100 say

00:41:46.420 that

00:41:46.740 because

00:41:47.300 most

00:41:47.980 people

00:41:48.380 in

00:41:48.640 the

00:41:48.800 GOP

00:41:49.380 are

00:41:49.660 not

00:41:50.000 going

00:41:50.360 to

00:41:50.600 message

00:41:51.040 well

00:41:51.480 when

00:41:51.940 it

00:41:59.960 is

00:42:00.140 depressing

00:42:00.680 that

00:42:00.940 you

00:42:01.060 led

00:42:01.240 with

00:42:01.420 that

00:42:01.640 darren

00:42:01.960 i

00:42:02.420 would

00:42:02.680 make

00:42:03.000 a

00:42:03.180 special

00:42:03.540 exception

00:42:04.100 for

00:42:04.940 figures

00:42:05.900 such

00:42:09.180 understand

00:42:09.980 the

00:42:10.500 january

00:42:10.940 6

00:42:11.380 issue

00:42:11.960 and

00:42:12.440 understand

00:42:12.960 specifically

00:42:13.680 really

00:42:14.080 look

00:42:14.440 there's

00:42:15.880 only

00:42:16.300 one

00:42:16.800 angle

00:42:17.440 that

00:42:18.120 really

00:42:18.900 really

00:42:19.760 undermines

00:42:21.100 the

00:42:21.440 regime

00:42:21.800 there's

00:42:22.080 only

00:42:22.400 one

00:42:22.860 angle

00:42:23.300 that

00:42:23.560 actually

00:42:24.160 threatens

00:42:24.640 the

00:42:24.880 regime

00:42:25.240 and

00:42:25.740 that's

00:42:26.160 the

00:42:26.340 angle

00:42:26.680 that

00:42:26.940 explores

00:42:27.760 federal

00:42:29.140 involvement

00:42:29.860 in

00:42:30.120 january

00:42:30.480 six

00:42:30.860 six

00:42:30.880 i

00:42:31.400 think

00:42:31.620 everything

00:42:32.160 else

00:42:32.660 is

00:42:33.040 pretty

00:42:33.580 much

00:42:33.980 i

00:42:34.160 don't

00:42:34.640 want

00:42:34.780 to

00:42:34.860 be

00:42:35.000 categorical

00:42:35.740 about

00:42:36.040 it

00:42:36.160 but

00:42:36.340 everything

00:42:36.720 else

00:42:37.100 is

00:42:37.320 pretty

00:42:37.680 much

00:42:38.120 a

00:42:38.620 distraction

00:42:39.240 and

00:42:39.560 you'd

00:42:39.760 be

00:42:39.880 better

00:42:40.160 off

00:42:40.480 talking

00:42:40.840 about

00:42:41.160 issues

00:42:41.640 that

00:42:41.900 the

00:42:42.060 average

00:42:42.340 American

00:42:42.820 cares

00:42:43.240 about

00:42:43.580 but

00:42:43.960 i

00:42:44.100 think

00:42:44.280 there's

00:42:44.580 still

00:42:44.840 a

00:42:45.040 very

00:42:45.360 special

00:42:45.900 place

00:42:46.360 for

00:42:46.560 the

00:42:46.700 specific

00:42:47.200 counter

00:42:47.680 narrative

00:42:48.140 and

00:42:48.660 that

00:42:48.860 is

00:42:49.040 exposing

00:42:49.600 the

00:42:50.340 federal

00:42:50.900 involvement

00:42:51.500 but

00:42:51.740 in order

00:42:52.300 to do

00:42:52.640 that

00:42:52.880 effectively

00:42:53.420 you

00:42:53.660 have

00:42:53.860 to

00:42:53.960 be

00:42:54.100 informed

00:42:54.620 should

00:42:55.100 probably

00:43:00.480 engaging

00:43:02.040 in

00:43:02.280 effective

00:43:02.760 and

00:43:03.360 informed

00:43:03.840 rhetoric

00:43:04.360 and

00:43:04.680 so

00:43:05.000 i

00:43:05.440 would

00:43:05.620 say

00:43:05.820 for

00:43:06.000 the

00:43:06.160 most

00:43:06.420 part

00:43:06.720 the

00:43:06.940 GOP

00:43:07.600 should

00:43:07.940 stay

00:43:08.360 out

00:43:08.580 of

00:43:08.720 it

00:43:08.900 but

00:43:09.260 for

00:43:09.480 a

00:43:09.660 select

00:43:10.020 few

00:43:10.380 who

00:43:10.620 are

00:43:10.760 brave

00:43:11.280 and

00:43:11.480 informed

00:43:11.920 and

00:43:12.120 intelligent

00:43:12.640 and

00:43:13.440 know

00:43:14.900 how

00:43:15.160 to

00:43:15.380 engage

00:43:15.840 in

00:43:16.460 rhetoric

00:43:17.980 there's

00:43:20.080 still

00:43:20.320 a

00:43:20.500 very

00:43:20.760 important

00:43:21.300 role

00:43:21.780 to

00:43:22.240 further

00:43:23.620 the

00:43:24.360 truth

00:43:24.760 about
