00:00:00.000 We hope you're enjoying your Air Canada flight.
00:00:02.320 Rocky's Vacation, here we come.

00:00:30.460 Hey everybody, how's it going?
00:00:31.840 Thanks for joining me this afternoon.
00:00:33.960 So sometimes you plan a show and you have a topic and you know what's going to be going on.
00:00:39.680 And then all of a sudden, the weekend kind of changes everything.
00:00:44.080 I think most of you are probably aware, unless you've been living under a rock,
00:00:48.060 that there is, of course, massive news coming out of the Middle East.
00:00:53.080 You have Hamas in Israel.
00:00:56.460 There's still, obviously, an attack there.
00:00:59.660 There's a retaliation then by the Israeli government now coming.
00:01:03.140 It's all very horrible.
00:01:05.220 There's a lot to say about it.
00:01:07.660 I'll probably get into it a little bit here, though.
00:01:10.580 I want to write my thoughts down about it.
00:01:13.660 I think there's a large issue that probably needs to be addressed.
00:01:17.120 Right now, tempers are really hot for understandable reasons.
00:01:20.680 Everybody's got a hot take right now.
00:01:23.440 But I think there's a deeper issue that we need to dig into.
00:01:27.460 But I'll probably talk about that a little here in a second.
00:01:31.300 So as you are also probably aware, over the last week or so, we had a one-two punch from Hillary Clinton and from Newsweek talking about basically why and how the MAGA coalition should be treated as domestic terrorists.
00:01:49.420 How these people should be treated as enemies of the state, why different federal agencies should go after them, or how these people should be treated by the government once Hillary Clinton and people like her kind of get their way.
00:02:02.360 We're going to dive into all of that, guys.
00:02:04.720 But before we do, let me go ahead and tell you a little bit about our sponsor today, Birch Gold.
00:02:09.900 Vladimir Putin called the U.S. dollar's drop in dominance objective and irreversible during the recent BRICS summit in South Africa, as Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa formally agreed to use local currencies instead of the U.S. dollar.
00:02:26.520 It's the first shoe to fall.
00:02:27.760 As demand for the dollar weakens, the buying power of the dollar weakens.
00:02:31.500 And that's why Birch Gold Group is busier than ever.
00:02:34.340 Investors and savers are looking to harness the power of physical gold held in a tax-sheltered IRA.
00:02:40.460 Text ORIN to 989898 for your free info kit on gold.
00:02:45.660 With thousands of happy customers, an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau, and countless five-star reviews, you can count on Birch Gold to help you navigate transitioning an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold.
00:02:59.880 As the U.S. dollar continues to receive pressure from foreign countries, digital currency, and central banks, arm yourself with information on how to protect your savings.
00:03:09.900 Text ORIN to 989898 to claim your free info kit now.
00:03:15.600 All right, so I guess let's go ahead and start with current news first.
00:03:21.280 Like I said, I'm not going to let this dominate the whole stream today.
00:03:24.560 This is not going to be an episode just on the current going on in the Middle East because, again, it's a complicated issue.
00:03:31.160 There are going to be plenty of people with very angry hot takes, again, understandably so.
00:03:36.200 Really terrible, tragic stuff happening there right now.
00:03:40.200 Again, no matter how people feel about different sides involved in this, the loss of life is just awful.
00:03:47.280 And the way that Hamas, of course, launched its attack was often against civilians, children, women.
00:03:53.420 And so that in and of itself is just a horrific thing to behold.
00:03:58.440 If you've seen any of the pictures, I encourage you really just not to go looking for them because it's not great stuff.
00:04:05.200 But that said, there's going to be a lot of people with fiery takes on this.
00:04:08.880 My initial response is this.
00:04:13.480 A lot of people want to rush and talk about what America needs to do.
00:04:18.640 It's all about what America has to do.
00:04:23.440 What you have going on right now in the Middle East between the Israelis and the Palestinians
00:04:29.920 is a long, complicated, and ugly ethnic blood feud that goes back many, many generations
00:04:39.540 or depending how you want to look at it, many, many centuries, millennia at this point.
00:04:46.640 So when you're looking at this scenario, looking at America as the primary actor,
00:04:53.960 as what it's America's duty to do is a mistake.
00:04:59.920 Again, people can have and have very good arguments for their fiery opinion about this.
00:05:08.740 You know, the many people want to just have an immediate reaction by the United States.
00:05:15.320 But that's not what the United States military is for.
00:05:19.140 And that's not what the United States military budget is for.
00:05:21.940 That's not what our congressional, that's not what our taxes go to.
00:05:25.460 That's not what this is supposed to be about.
00:05:27.800 OK, just like we seem far more interested in the goings on in Ukraine and protecting Ukrainians,
00:05:35.320 the borders of Ukraine and funding the Ukrainian government, the Ukrainian bureaucracy,
00:05:40.160 all of a sudden becomes really important for the United States to be far more interested
00:05:46.120 in the defense and borders of another nation.
00:05:49.620 Now, again, you can feel the deep tragedy of what happened to many innocent civilians because of this Hamas attack.
00:05:58.260 That's an understandable thing.
00:05:59.500 That's the nature, modern nature of news.
00:06:01.620 But immediately exploding and saying, now it's time for America to act.
00:06:05.680 This is, you know, we had people like Nikki Haley saying this is an attack on America.
00:06:09.960 Like, that's not how this works, guys.
00:06:14.000 That's not how this works.
00:06:15.160 Now, there's a fair case for people saying Joe Biden just sent billions of dollars to Iran.
00:06:21.000 OK, yeah, you've got an excellent point, right?
00:06:23.680 And this is probably what emboldened, you know, the Palestinian attack.
00:06:29.360 You might be right about that.
00:06:31.520 Probably true.
00:06:31.960 Probably true.
00:06:32.960 But that's just an argument for less involvement by the United States in any of these countries.
00:06:40.280 That is not an endorsement of, well, now that Joe Biden spent this much money and gave it to a hostile government over here,
00:06:47.140 we need to go ahead and give it to another government, at least over here, to balance this out.
00:06:51.540 Or we need to be militarily involved for some reason.
00:06:55.240 Like, that's not how this works.
00:06:56.600 You don't infinitely chase this, you know, throw more money in, throw more military in,
00:07:01.380 get more involved, fall further down this.
00:07:04.060 No, that's not how this works.
00:07:06.820 And if you haven't noticed, unfortunately, across many major cities, across different Western nations,
00:07:13.900 including the United States, including in places like New York,
00:07:16.780 there have been these huge flare-ups of Palestinians and Israeli supporters going to the public square,
00:07:24.580 chanting each other, screaming at each other, sometimes devolving into violence.
00:07:28.580 What this should be, the message that should be clearly sent by this is how we should not be involving ourselves in this,
00:07:38.740 and how we should not be opening our borders and allowing people come in to bring these blood feuds,
00:07:46.140 these ancient blood feuds, into the United States.
00:07:49.200 That should really be the message that we understand here, okay?
00:07:54.880 That, again, while Israel might be completely within its rights to defend itself from what just happened from Hamas,
00:08:03.660 and many people will look at the response from Israel and what happens to Palestinian civilians and feel the same way.
00:08:11.100 That's going to happen.
00:08:12.140 You're going to see that narrative, too.
00:08:14.000 The point is, this is not America's fight.
00:08:19.520 This is not the reason the United States military exists.
00:08:22.440 This is not why we pay our taxes.
00:08:24.400 This is not where our blood or treasure goes.
00:08:27.500 It would be nice if that stuff went through defending our own borders, protecting our own interests,
00:08:34.060 protecting us from the constant influx of people who will bring, inevitably, the ancient conflicts of their civilizations and their peoples here,
00:08:45.500 and act them out in the streets of our nation.
00:08:48.580 That's the stuff that should really be focused on at the moment.
00:08:51.820 I'm sorry, but no one is going to solve this disagreement between the Palestinians and Israelis,
00:08:57.960 and the United States is not going to do that either.
00:09:01.000 No international actor is going to do that, and neither is the United States.
00:09:05.320 And that's just the way it's going to be.
00:09:08.000 And that's a terrible fact of life, that two groups of people can be this deeply inflamed at each other,
00:09:16.040 can feel this deep generational resentment that constantly acts itself out in a cycle of violence.
00:09:23.780 But that is not the United States' problem.
00:09:26.740 And that's not the way we should be treating it.
00:09:29.620 Like I said, that's all I'm going to get into today.
00:09:32.040 I'm going to write something longer.
00:09:33.520 I don't want to fly completely off the cuff on it, because like I said, I think there's plenty of hot takes.
00:09:39.060 If you want to go find them, they're everywhere on both sides of this thing.
00:09:42.060 But I don't think that's why people come here.
00:09:47.100 And so I'm going to do something I think a little more thoughtful on it, take a moment on it, write something more in depth here.
00:09:53.120 So that said, I want to go ahead and get into the main topic of the stream, which is the way that Trump supporters are being treated.
00:10:05.000 Because we still have a country here.
00:10:06.800 I know the current thing is happening somewhere else.
00:10:09.500 I know we went from Ukrainian, you know, current thing to now Israeli-Palestine current thing.
00:10:16.560 And now all of our military funding has to go from last current thing, probably to current current thing.
00:10:21.560 I wonder how that's going to work.
00:10:22.660 Is the Ukrainian army just going to collapse because now all of our funding has to go in the least?
00:10:27.060 I don't know.
00:10:28.000 It seems insane.
00:10:29.480 Anyway, the point is, while all those current things are happening, political opponents of the current regime are being targeted explicitly in the United States.
00:10:42.000 And that seems way more important to me.
00:10:44.000 That actually seems like the most important thing happening right now.
00:10:48.100 Since we keep talking about how sacred our democracy is, maybe we should focus on the actual direct threats to things like the ability of another party to ever get elected in the United States.
00:10:58.560 Again, to have anybody who would ever say, I don't know, disentangle us from foreign wars to ever get elected again.
00:11:05.080 Maybe we should look into that.
00:11:06.660 Maybe that's the far more important thing to think about at the moment.
00:11:09.500 So let me go ahead and play you a clip from Hillary Clinton from an interview she did here recently, where she explicitly calls for basically like a re-education, like a communist re-education camp for Trump supporters.
00:11:26.520 ...partisans in both parties in the past.
00:11:29.980 And we had very bitter battles over all kinds of things, gun control and climate change and the economy and taxes.
00:11:37.400 But there wasn't this little tale of extremism waving, you know, wagging the dog of the Republican Party as it is today.
00:11:47.380 And sadly, so many of those extremists...
00:11:50.740 I would like to remind you, because this is my favorite thing about the interesting way that the Democrats ratchet this.
00:11:56.720 So I remember when every Republican was an extremist when I was a kid.
00:12:02.080 I was constantly told this by the media.
00:12:04.200 I was constantly told this by people like Hillary Clinton.
00:12:07.960 John McCain was a bloodthirsty murderer.
00:12:11.100 Okay, they might have been more right about that than...
00:12:13.820 But anyway, the point being is, you know, they were always talking about how extreme the Republican Party was.
00:12:20.360 They were always talking about how crazy they were, how they were these wild-eyed, you know, people who are looking to take away your rights.
00:12:26.360 Joe Biden said that Mitt Romney was going to put black people back in chains.
00:12:29.940 This has always been the rhetoric of the Democrats.
00:12:33.880 And so you'll notice here that she's taking the time to ratchet that back.
00:12:38.040 Oh, oh, you know, just a few years ago, there was a very normal, you know, we had our back and forth.
00:12:44.400 We had our differences.
00:12:45.360 But there was a normal, you know, exchange.
00:12:48.660 And now they've gotten crazy and insane.
00:12:50.860 Now, I think in some ways they actually do feel that's true because Donald Trump is not the controlled Mitt Romney, John McCain, George Bush type of candidate that they expected.
00:13:03.340 Like, that was always the feeling, right?
00:13:05.500 That was always made people sick about American politics is that they looked at American politics.
00:13:11.000 They looked at what the way that the people like the Clintons and the Bushes talked about each other.
00:13:15.840 And it sounded like an existential battle, right?
00:13:18.340 It sounded like a fever pitch battle for the future of America.
00:13:21.600 Every election is the most important election of our lifetime.
00:13:24.500 It was always that kind of rhetoric.
00:13:26.040 But then when these people got together, they seemed to be like friends.
00:13:28.860 They would schmooze each other.
00:13:30.260 They would go to the same parties.
00:13:31.460 You know, we now see these pictures of Barack or rather Michelle Obama and George Bush, George W. Bush, like, you know, holding each other and hugging each other.
00:13:42.140 They like each other's paintings and whatever.
00:13:44.100 Like, that is the way they treat each other now, right?
00:13:46.700 And so you always felt like even though we were supposed to be in this pitched cultural and battle and then this political battle, they never really believed it.
00:13:55.580 At the end of the day, these people were still closer to each other than they were to the actual American people they were supposed to be representing.
00:14:02.520 However, I think the thing that changed is that Trump was not from that cast.
00:14:07.340 And he spoke to people in a way that made it clear that that back and forth was false.
00:14:12.280 And so Hillary Clinton is trying to call back to that moment where we would get Mitt Romney's and John McCain candidates.
00:14:21.660 And, you know, they are genuinely afraid of people like Trump and anyone who would follow Trump with the same kind of energy because he's no longer inside that control dynamic.
00:14:33.220 They were pretending to hate each other before.
00:14:35.600 But now they actually see a threat on the horizon and they want to call that out.
00:14:41.420 Those mega extremists take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure.
00:14:51.480 He's only in it for himself.
00:14:53.160 He's now defending himself in civil actions and criminal actions.
00:14:56.800 And when do they break with him?
00:14:58.980 You know, because at some point, you know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members.
00:15:05.600 But something needs to happen.
00:15:06.820 So there has to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members.
00:15:13.360 I want to be clear.
00:15:14.900 That is not a mistake by Hillary Clinton.
00:15:16.700 You already knew she hated you.
00:15:18.140 She already called you a basket of deplorables.
00:15:20.520 She already didn't care if you lost your job.
00:15:23.260 She already didn't care if your kids got addicted to fentanyl.
00:15:26.440 She already didn't care if your kids are getting mutilated because of what they learned at school.
00:15:31.160 Like she already did not care about those things.
00:15:34.300 Right.
00:15:34.640 She already hated you.
00:15:35.760 You knew that that was not a surprise to you.
00:15:38.300 If you're listening to me, you are very aware that Hillary Clinton despises you and wishes ill on you.
00:15:44.180 She's not looking to govern you in the sense of your well-being.
00:15:47.780 She's looking to re-educate you.
00:15:51.120 And she says specifically, she's not like, ah, they might have to be re-educated.
00:15:55.340 We need a formal re-education.
00:15:57.880 She wants a denazification program for you.
00:16:00.220 That's what she's saying.
00:16:01.880 To be really clear.
00:16:03.760 She sees you as a existential enemy.
00:16:08.840 And she thinks that the government needs to formally put you in a position where it forces you to think a different way.
00:16:17.920 None of those words are a mistake from Hillary Clinton.
00:16:21.420 She meant every one of them.
00:16:22.920 Okay.
00:16:23.180 She hasn't come back and apologized.
00:16:24.960 She didn't come out and said she's misspoken.
00:16:26.800 She meant every single one of those words.
00:16:29.720 And Hillary Clinton is not alone.
00:16:31.560 Hillary, this is not just, you know, she's not just an evil lizard person, though she is.
00:16:35.560 But she is not just by herself the only person pushing this kind of agenda.
00:16:41.560 Okay.
00:16:42.060 This is a common feeling amongst the progressive Democratic leadership.
00:16:47.680 This is a very common feeling about how they should treat it.
00:16:51.100 And they are taking that feeling and they are injecting it directly into our state institutions.
00:16:56.900 This is not just something they talk about at cocktail parties.
00:17:00.320 This is not just something that they write in a crazy college paper somewhere.
00:17:03.600 Those things are the ruling class talking about what they're going to do next.
00:17:07.900 And then they do.
00:17:09.720 And so these things are being manifested.
00:17:11.880 They're being manifested in institutions like the FBI.
00:17:15.060 They're being manifested in institutions like the Department of Homeland Security.
00:17:19.500 And in case you were wondering, is that all shadowy stuff happening in a corner somewhere?
00:17:24.400 No.
00:17:25.640 Newsweek came out with an article letting us know that we have direct evidence that this is actually
00:17:32.140 the active steps being done inside the FBI.
00:17:35.520 Now, again, you probably already knew that, right?
00:17:37.940 You have seen the fact that the FBI has gone after parents who are protesting their kids being
00:17:45.800 indoctrinated by gender ideology, being forced to learn to hate themselves due to the color of their skin.
00:17:52.600 We already knew that the FBI was targeting parents who protested that we already knew that the FBI was spying on Catholic churches that did traditional Latin masses because they believe that that was an indicator for possible extremism.
00:18:06.980 Right.
00:18:07.100 So so they are spying on churches.
00:18:09.220 They are attacking parents.
00:18:11.900 They are threatening parents who disagree with the indoctrination of their children.
00:18:17.780 Joe Biden got up in front of the presidential seal with a red blood red background talking about how all of his opponents were basically fascists.
00:18:28.680 He called them semi fascist.
00:18:30.480 I don't know what the difference is between that.
00:18:32.920 But what I do know is that the left has made it very clear that you are allowed to punch people like that.
00:18:37.780 And so this has all been leading up to violence and criminalization against Trump support.
00:18:45.660 It's been very clear that's the case.
00:18:47.140 And in case, again, in case there was any confusion about that fact, they've been bringing criminal charges against Donald Trump.
00:18:54.080 They've been bringing ridiculous and extreme and exorbitant charges against people on January 6th who were barely involved or didn't even go in the building, had almost nothing to do it.
00:19:05.380 They've been bringing charges against people who literally just made memes and posted them on Twitter.
00:19:11.860 Douglas Mackey is facing 10 years in jail for this.
00:19:15.120 That's how they've been treating Trump supporters.
00:19:20.480 That's how they've been viewing the political opposition in the United States.
00:19:24.480 Oh, something terrible is happening in other countries.
00:19:26.600 That's sad.
00:19:27.460 Guess what?
00:19:28.060 There is an emergency here now that will determine what, if anything, you are involved with going forward with those other nations.
00:19:37.840 So you might want to pay attention to this because it's way more important.
00:19:41.540 So here's Hillary Clinton just saying that out loud, but I also want to get into the article here because that's far more in-depth and it gives us far more details about what's going on specifically, again, with the FBI and the DHS.
00:19:55.060 But before we do that, guys, let's hear from our other sponsor today, ISI.
00:19:59.680 Universities today aren't just neglecting real education.
00:20:02.400 They're actively undermining it, and we can't let them get away with it.
00:20:05.580 America was made for an educated and engaged citizenry.
00:20:08.820 The Intercollegiate Studies Institute is here to help.
00:20:11.940 ISI offers programs and opportunities for conservative students across the country.
00:20:17.120 ISI understands that conservatives and right-of-center students feel isolated on college campuses and that you're often fighting for your own reputation, dignity, and future.
00:20:27.100 Through ISI, you can learn about what Russell Kirk called the permanent things, the philosophical and political teachings that shaped and made Western civilization great.
00:20:35.800 ISI offers many opportunities to jumpstart your career.
00:20:39.340 They have fellowships at some of the nation's top conservative publications like National Review, The American Conservative, and The College Thinker.
00:20:46.400 If you're a graduate student, ISI offers funding opportunities to sponsor the next great generation of college professors.
00:20:52.420 Through ISI, you can work with conservative thinkers who are making a difference.
00:20:56.340 Thinkers like Chris Ruffo, who currently has an ISI researcher helping him with his book.
00:21:01.080 But perhaps most importantly, ISI offers college students a community of people that can help them grow.
00:21:06.780 If you're a college student, ISI can help you start a student organization or a student newspaper or meet other like-minded students at their various conferences and events.
00:21:16.260 ISI is here to educate the next generation of great Americans.
00:21:19.780 To learn more, go to ISI.org.
00:21:22.720 That's ISI.org.
00:21:24.480 All right, so let's go ahead and jump into this article from Newsweek.
00:21:29.740 I'm not going to read the whole thing because it's fairly long and at some point you're going to get the general idea.
00:21:34.500 But it is important because, again, it is bringing us some important details.
00:21:39.040 Now, another thing to keep an eye on as you're looking at this article, guys, of course, when we look at pieces from the media, we always want to look beyond the words.
00:21:48.000 We want to look at the intentions of it, the framing of it.
00:21:51.500 Why is the language being used?
00:21:52.800 Now, this should be if we had anything approaching an actual press, like if the fourth estate did anything like we pretended did, if journalists actually went in and went after power and spoke truth to power and that kind of thing, we would never get an article framed like this.
00:22:12.560 This would be a scandal.
00:22:15.180 This would be a terrible, insane thing.
00:22:17.780 This would be journalists would be screaming about the terror of the police state that's descending upon us.
00:22:24.620 But, of course, the journalists in Newsweek all agree with everything the Biden administration is going to do here.
00:22:30.300 They're totally on board with it.
00:22:32.060 So this piece is really a celebration.
00:22:35.120 Like, yes, they're going to whinge for a moment.
00:22:37.720 Oh, maybe we have to worry about constitutional freedoms.
00:22:40.340 Ooh, we have to be careful about how we do this.
00:22:43.260 But every word of this is totally supportive of the Biden administration, of the FBI, of the DOJ, of the DHS, and their desire to throw Trump supporters in jail.
00:22:57.040 That's all this is.
00:22:58.440 So they'll use a little language here and there, but I just want you to notice how they approach this because, again, people have to break themselves from this idea that at some point in the past, journalism was just objective and it told the truth and it was going to control the power of government because the freedom of the press.
00:23:19.620 So that is not how this is worked.
00:23:21.640 This is never how this has worked.
00:23:23.180 And it's certainly not how it's working now.
00:23:25.220 These people are working hand in glove with the Biden administration.
00:23:28.840 I promise you, the only reason you know about this, the only reason this article exists is because those in power want you to know this is not some scoop.
00:23:40.820 This is not some, you know, gotcha on the Biden administration.
00:23:44.320 This is a celebration.
00:23:46.100 This is a press release.
00:23:47.700 This is read to you by a press that 100% supports everything being done in this article.
00:23:56.160 That said, let's go ahead and jump into it.
00:23:58.920 The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around 2024 presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers.
00:24:15.100 So right off the bat, we're, it's not unclear here.
00:24:18.800 This is not some kind of speculation.
00:24:20.620 It's not that there's a fuzzy category here.
00:24:23.840 The security apparatus of the United States, the deeply corrupt institutions of the FBI, the DHS, the DOJ, everything the Biden administration controls is being mobilized specifically to target everyone who voted for Donald Trump.
00:24:45.100 Donald Trump is not some random guy.
00:24:48.760 He is the opposition to the current sitting regime.
00:24:53.560 He is the major opposition, the lead candidate for the party that is going to be the only serious opposition to those in power.
00:25:04.160 The announcement that the might of the US government is aimed squarely at everyone who disagrees with it should again, like fire in the rafters, right?
00:25:18.780 This should be the, the revelation of the century.
00:25:23.100 It should be, if we pretended like the United States is actually a free country that actually has a free press and actually has free election, this should be an amazing thing that blows all of that wide open, right?
00:25:38.600 But they're just acting like it's, yeah, that's, that's what we're doing now, right?
00:25:42.620 That this is how we conduct politics in the United States.
00:25:47.140 The government turns its force and its, and its infrastructure and its surveillance on half the population that disagrees with them.
00:25:57.820 Donald Trump got a massive amount of votes.
00:26:00.580 Got like 80 million votes, right?
00:26:02.660 All of those people are potential extremists.
00:26:06.760 All of these people are dangerous to the state.
00:26:09.920 What does that mean?
00:26:11.400 It means that political opposition is going to be outlawed in the United States.
00:26:17.240 Technically, you can still vote for somebody else.
00:26:20.160 Technically, you can do that stuff.
00:26:22.700 But actually, if you support anyone who might really stop what's going on in the United States, somebody who might actually change the policies in the United States,
00:26:32.660 the government is going to target you.
00:26:34.520 That is what this article has said and what it essentially supports.
00:26:38.220 The challenge of the FBI and the primary, which is the primary federal agency charged with law enforcement,
00:26:44.640 is to pursue and prevent what it calls domestic terrorism without direct reference to political parties or affiliations.
00:26:54.220 Even though the vast majority of its current anti-government investigations are Trump supporters,
00:26:58.660 according to classified data obtained by Newsweek.
00:27:01.200 Now, to be really clear, in 2020, we had a massive anti-government operation.
00:27:09.200 We had a massive anti-authority operation.
00:27:13.120 It was called Black Lives Matter.
00:27:14.560 Now, for those who know, that's not exactly true, right?
00:27:18.280 If you've paid attention to me or my buddy academic agent, you know that actually those are counter-revolutionary forces.
00:27:23.760 They were not revolutionary forces.
00:27:25.180 The progressives were the ones in charge.
00:27:28.820 The left were the ones in charge.
00:27:30.320 And BLM were their foot soldiers.
00:27:32.500 They were counter-revolutionary foot soldiers against people like Trump.
00:27:36.280 But the main narrative is, right, even at that time, in 2020, that those people were anti-government.
00:27:44.700 I mean, they literally built an autonomous zone in multiple places, including Seattle, right?
00:27:50.720 Like, they literally said, we are done with government here.
00:27:53.300 And people died.
00:27:54.860 Kids got killed.
00:27:56.080 There was a warlord in the chat because of this.
00:27:59.780 That's what was happening in 2020.
00:28:03.980 That's a major anti-government operation.
00:28:08.020 I mean, there are parts of Seattle that were under siege for months.
00:28:11.920 Government buildings were under siege for months in Seattle from Antifa protesters during this time.
00:28:18.980 That's how they were approaching this.
00:28:21.700 A lot of people forget because now even, you know, many people on the right only focus on what happened in January 6th.
00:28:26.780 But there were massive protests that were violent in Washington, D.C., near the White House.
00:28:33.180 They thought the president was in serious danger.
00:28:38.700 Excuse me.
00:28:40.240 So this idea that all of the threats, all the anti-government threats come from Donald Trump or his supporters,
00:28:47.900 is a complete and total political fabrication.
00:28:51.040 We know for a fact that just a few years ago, there was a massive and direct attack on local governments,
00:28:59.200 on state governments, and on the federal government, at least in theory, by Black Lives Matter and Antifa.
00:29:05.600 It was organized.
00:29:07.700 The people were politically organized.
00:29:11.520 They were financially organized and backed often by members of our own government.
00:29:17.280 They were bailed out by people like the current vice president of the United States, Kamala Harris,
00:29:24.040 and celebrities who were very proud about that fact.
00:29:27.180 Okay?
00:29:29.300 And the idea that all of this is just current, it just history started on January 6th.
00:29:37.480 When does fast grocery delivery through Instacart matter most?
00:29:42.480 When your famous grainy mustard potato salad isn't so famous without the grainy mustard?
00:29:47.540 When the barbecue's lit, but there's nothing to grill?
00:29:50.220 When the in-laws decide that, actually, they will stay for dinner?
00:29:53.940 Instacart has all your groceries covered this summer.
00:29:56.560 So download the app and get delivery in as fast as 60 minutes.
00:30:00.160 Plus, enjoy $0 delivery fees on your first three orders.
00:30:03.840 Service fees exclusions and terms apply.
00:30:06.100 Instacart.
00:30:06.940 Groceries that over-deliver.
00:30:09.200 Is insane.
00:30:10.540 It's absolutely insane.
00:30:12.000 But that's what we're going to go with.
00:30:14.020 That none of those things happen.
00:30:15.300 All of that is memory hold.
00:30:17.680 The fact that BLM and Antifa murdered dozens of people, burned down billions and billions of dollars
00:30:25.360 of property, threatened the lives of so many people, injured so many people, cops, civilians,
00:30:32.580 whatever.
00:30:33.540 Doesn't matter.
00:30:34.360 All of a sudden, that's all vanished.
00:30:36.420 And all the extremism just happens to be located in the MAGA coalition.
00:30:42.340 Just happens to be located in the political opponents of the current regime.
00:30:48.060 The FBI is almost in an almost impossible position, says the current FBI official who requested
00:30:54.520 to remain anonymous.
00:30:55.760 The official said the FBI is intent on stopping domestic terrorism and any repeat of, again,
00:31:00.960 January 6th.
00:31:01.680 It's the only thing that happened.
00:31:02.660 Nothing happened before January 6th.
00:31:04.620 None of the domestic terrorism that went on, none of the violent riots that went on for
00:31:09.660 months and months across the entire United States.
00:31:11.700 It all vanished.
00:31:12.460 And there's now only January 6th.
00:31:14.220 But the Bureau must also preserve the constitutional rights of all Americans to campaign, speak
00:31:20.940 freely, and protest the government.
00:31:23.060 By focusing on former President Trump and his Make America Agreed Again MAGA supporters,
00:31:28.580 the official said the Bureau runs the risk of provoking the very anti-government activists
00:31:32.440 that the terrorism agency hopes to encounter.
00:31:37.520 So again, we're going to pretend that none of these leftist activists were violent, that
00:31:43.480 all of that happens inside the right.
00:31:45.580 Now, they're going to whinge here about, oh, well, but we recognize the challenge.
00:31:51.640 We recognize the challenge of only targeting our political opponents.
00:31:55.580 We can understand how only targeting specifically the people who oppose us politically and ignoring
00:32:02.280 the violent, murderous, riotous, you know, attacks by BLM and Antifa, by just ignoring
00:32:09.680 that stuff, we could, you know, we could notice maybe that that seems like we're targeting
00:32:16.060 one part.
00:32:17.300 So we still have to maintain the constitutional rights.
00:32:19.460 How do you do that?
00:32:20.220 You don't.
00:32:21.020 The answer is very obvious.
00:32:22.380 You have no interest in maintaining the constitutional rights.
00:32:25.000 This is all dog and pony show.
00:32:26.280 And to be really clear, Newsweek knows this.
00:32:29.540 The reporters writing this know this.
00:32:32.280 They are not concerned about the constitutional rights of Trump supporters.
00:32:36.020 They're not expressing their journalistic integrity by questioning whether or not this
00:32:41.600 could go too far.
00:32:43.340 This is a piece designed to birth the baby.
00:32:49.140 OK, this is a midwife piece.
00:32:51.380 It's meant to take a political narrative that's been pregnant for a long time and deliver it into
00:32:57.800 the world.
00:32:58.280 The narrative is we've got to reeducate.
00:33:01.780 We've got to destroy.
00:33:03.940 We've got to imprison our political opponents.
00:33:06.500 Hillary Clinton says it out loud.
00:33:07.680 She's not confused.
00:33:08.620 She knows what the goals are.
00:33:10.460 That's what they're saying.
00:33:11.620 That's the narrative.
00:33:12.740 We need to have the power to unleash the FBI and the DHS.
00:33:17.360 And every other part of the United States government onto our political opponents, if necessary.
00:33:24.520 That's what the that's the the political baby, the narrative baby that is being birthed here.
00:33:30.560 But the way you birth it is you express some concerns.
00:33:37.560 Though dismissing them, ultimately, ultimately, they don't really matter, right?
00:33:41.380 Ultimately, they're that they're, you know, we don't worry.
00:33:44.080 Top men, experts are worried about this.
00:33:46.280 Top scholars are worried about this.
00:33:47.880 So that's OK.
00:33:49.180 So that means they're they're watching over us and it's OK to go ahead and make this happen.
00:33:54.260 They're normalizing the language.
00:33:56.480 They're bringing it in to being surrounding it with a little bit of hesitation.
00:34:01.280 You know, it's not happening.
00:34:02.880 But well, if it was happening, we would keep an eye on it.
00:34:05.300 We'd make sure that we'd be careful with it.
00:34:07.020 OK, maybe it has been happening, but don't worry.
00:34:09.360 You know, we're the press will watch out.
00:34:11.300 They'll make sure it doesn't go far.
00:34:12.400 OK, no, actually, it's been happening the whole time.
00:34:14.040 And it's a good thing that it was right.
00:34:15.100 We know the cycle, we know the cycle at this point, and that's exactly what's happening
00:34:19.140 here.
00:34:19.400 That's how they're trying to advance the narrative, especially at a time when the White House
00:34:22.880 is facing congressional Republican opposition, claiming that the Biden administration has
00:34:26.720 weaponized the bureau against the right wing.
00:34:28.800 It has to be treated very carefully.
00:34:30.520 The official says, I want to make it really clear.
00:34:32.480 The White House is not facing congressional Republican opposition.
00:34:36.240 It is not.
00:34:37.260 OK, if there was real congressional Republican opposition, the FBI would be unfunded.
00:34:44.660 The DHS would be unfunded.
00:34:48.560 They say, that's that's crazy, Oren.
00:34:50.560 You can't do that.
00:34:52.120 What if we don't have federal law enforcement?
00:34:53.800 What if we don't have a Department of Homeland Security preventing terrible attacks on us?
00:34:57.900 Well, they are committing those attacks right now.
00:35:00.700 They are specifically provably targeting the people that the Republican Party is supposed
00:35:07.540 to represent.
00:35:08.780 And the Republican Party refuses to protect those people.
00:35:11.840 They'll mouth the words.
00:35:13.840 Oh, they're weaponizing the Department of Justice.
00:35:16.340 OK, you're in Congress.
00:35:18.580 You're in the Senate.
00:35:19.980 What are you going to do about it?
00:35:21.880 The answer is nothing.
00:35:23.740 They're not going to deny these people a dime.
00:35:26.580 They're not going to do anything about it because they're fake opposition.
00:35:30.380 At most, they're going to mouth platitudes about how, oh, the Biden administration is criminal.
00:35:37.420 They're, you know, it's only a matter of time before the next investigation is going
00:35:40.780 to catch these people.
00:35:41.680 Right.
00:35:42.160 Like, I'm sorry.
00:35:43.220 No.
00:35:44.300 Like, these guys know they're perfectly safe.
00:35:46.600 They know they control these levers of power and they know the Republicans aren't going
00:35:49.700 to do anything about it.
00:35:51.040 That's part of the reason that McCarthy got bounced.
00:35:54.420 Right.
00:35:55.180 I did this this rant last week about, you know, whether however you feel about Matt
00:36:01.220 Gates, like the reason that McCarthy is vulnerable to these kind of things is he promised to
00:36:06.140 have some kind of actual opposition and he refused to make any influence, you know, to
00:36:11.480 use the budget, to use the power of the purse, the power of the house, which is the thing
00:36:15.140 it's supposed to have by, you know, the constitutional authority.
00:36:19.100 He refused to use any of that to stop his political enemy.
00:36:22.320 OK, or the people who are supposed to, in theory, be as political enemy.
00:36:26.680 And so he got bounced.
00:36:27.720 Is he going to be replaced by somebody who's going to actually use that power?
00:36:30.180 Probably not.
00:36:31.020 I wouldn't hold my breath.
00:36:32.380 I don't think there's going to be any really serious improvement there.
00:36:34.940 But the point is, you know, yeah, they're they're they're saying that it's it's that
00:36:41.180 it's weaponized and it is weaponized.
00:36:43.000 Obviously, it's weaponized.
00:36:44.400 It is very clear.
00:36:45.900 In fact, we have direct evidence printed in the pages of places like Newsweek that this
00:36:51.880 has been weaponized.
00:36:52.960 That that's the point.
00:36:53.620 But again, it's about birthing this baby.
00:36:56.160 Right.
00:36:56.320 We need to midwife this baby.
00:36:57.640 So so we express the concerns.
00:37:00.260 We acknowledge the concerns.
00:37:02.100 We bring about some areas where we might have to keep an eye on the concerns.
00:37:05.600 But ultimately, we move forward with the project and we normalize the project.
00:37:08.840 Newsweek spoke to a dozen current or former government officials who specialize in terrorism
00:37:16.620 in a three month investigation to understand the current domestic security landscape and
00:37:20.640 to view what the president administration is doing about what it calls domestic terrorism.
00:37:24.820 Again, you'll notice that their job here was not to expose.
00:37:30.460 They're not bringing to light what should be a huge scandal.
00:37:34.380 They frame this specifically as a fact finding mission to judge whether or not the political
00:37:41.540 persecution of the other side is justifiable.
00:37:46.600 And of course, their answer will be yes.
00:37:48.800 Right.
00:37:49.140 So so they they immediately again, you know, oh, we're doing our job.
00:37:54.500 We're investigating.
00:37:55.420 We're journalists.
00:37:56.220 We're in depth.
00:37:57.240 The three month investigation.
00:37:58.460 No, if you were doing your job, this would be a, you know, blowing the hinges off this
00:38:04.120 what is clearly unconstitutional operation.
00:38:07.040 But it's, you know, they're fine with it.
00:38:09.640 So it's OK.
00:38:11.980 Most requested anonymity because obviously Newsweek has also reviewed secret FBI and Department
00:38:19.440 of Homeland Security data that tracks it and incidents threats, investigation cases to try
00:38:23.660 to build a better picture.
00:38:24.520 While experts agree with the current partisan environment is charged and uniquely dangerous
00:38:29.880 with the threat of not only violence, but in the most extreme scenarios, possibly civil
00:38:34.240 war.
00:38:35.440 Again, come on, guys.
00:38:37.740 Many also question whether terrorism is the most effective way to describe the problem
00:38:41.600 or the methods of counterterrorism developed over the past decade in response to al-Qaeda
00:38:45.580 and other Islamic groups can constitute the most fruitful way to craft domestic solutions.
00:38:51.020 So, again, yeah, we're totally going to use the Patriot Act.
00:38:55.020 We're totally going to use the techniques of the war on terror and we're going to bring
00:38:59.260 them home and turn them on conservatives, turn them on MAGA supporters, turn them on
00:39:04.420 Donald Trump supporters.
00:39:06.480 We're going to do that.
00:39:07.560 But but is that the right thing to do?
00:39:09.520 I mean, you know, as journalists, you know, we're going to we're going to raise this question.
00:39:13.520 We're not actually going to push back against it in any significant way, but we're going
00:39:16.600 to raise the question.
00:39:17.480 The answer is, of course, no, but but that does not matter.
00:39:21.800 They're totally going to do it.
00:39:23.340 The current political environment is not something that the FBI is necessarily responsible for,
00:39:27.240 nor should it be.
00:39:28.260 Oh, but the FBI is very responsible.
00:39:31.900 The FBI has been taking an active role in domestic politics, including jailing and prosecuting
00:39:40.460 people specifically do their political stances.
00:39:43.340 So actually, the FBI is entirely well, not entirely, I shouldn't say, but very responsible
00:39:48.800 as bears a large amount of the weight of responsibility.
00:39:52.960 So that's just a direct lie planted there to set the FBI as some kind of neutral institution
00:39:58.980 in your mind when it is very clearly not.
00:40:02.060 The threat posed by domestic violent extremists is persistent, evolving and deadly.
00:40:07.020 The FBI goal is to detect, stop terrorist attacks.
00:40:09.800 And our focus is on potential crime, violence, violations, violence, threats of violence,
00:40:14.740 anti-government or anti-authority.
00:40:16.260 Violent extremism is only one category of domestic terrorism, as well as well as the FBI's top
00:40:22.800 threat priorities.
00:40:25.120 We are committed to protecting the safety and constitutional rights of all Americans and
00:40:28.080 will never open investigation based solely on First Amendment protected activity, including
00:40:32.100 a person's political beliefs and affiliation.
00:40:33.940 That's a lie.
00:40:35.000 He's obviously lying.
00:40:36.200 That is not true.
00:40:37.260 That is that is just not the case.
00:40:39.100 The FBI is lying there.
00:40:40.960 On top of this, the FBI, again, is not interested at all in anti-authority or anti-government
00:40:47.100 extremism.
00:40:47.760 Or again, so here's how I should clarify this again for people who might not understand this.
00:40:54.640 In our definition, like if you're someone on the right, you're a conservative and you're
00:41:00.000 on the outside of this, you look at BLM, you look at Antifa and you say these people are
00:41:05.560 obviously anti-authority.
00:41:07.080 They are obviously anti-government.
00:41:09.140 That is anti-government and anti-authority violence.
00:41:12.820 That is anti-authority extremism.
00:41:15.380 Now, should a nation that is founded on the Declaration of Independence and the Sons of Liberty be yelling
00:41:24.840 about anti-government action?
00:41:26.660 Maybe not.
00:41:27.600 Maybe that's not how that works.
00:41:29.440 But either way, the point is, if you're looking at it from the outside as a right-winger or
00:41:34.840 conservative, you might say that's anti-government action.
00:41:37.840 How could the FBI not recognize that?
00:41:40.040 Well, actually, the FBI has already told you the FBI has already specifically said people
00:41:44.140 like Christopher Wray have already said Antifa is not a group.
00:41:46.360 It's an idea.
00:41:47.260 And they've specifically said that they do not log violence like that done by BLM as left-wing
00:41:53.340 violence.
00:41:53.820 So the amazing thing is, if you control the institutions, you can control what is considered
00:42:00.620 political violence and what is not.
00:42:02.840 So January 6th is the scariest political violence of all time.
00:42:07.880 When the only person who died from that violence was Ashley Babbitt, an unarmed Trump supporter
00:42:13.300 who was murdered, that's the only person who died directly from the political violence
00:42:19.820 during that day.
00:42:22.700 Plenty of people were killed.
00:42:24.540 Dozens of people were killed by the actions of BLM and Antifa.
00:42:28.680 But none of that counts as political violence because the people who control the institutions
00:42:33.280 control the statistics and they control the categorization.
00:42:37.880 And they decide what they actually keep records on.
00:42:40.400 So when they say, oh, the Trump supporters are the most dangerous, MAGA supporters are
00:42:44.900 the most dangerous.
00:42:45.660 Yes, because you specifically engineered that to be the case.
00:42:48.820 You specifically cook the stats on purpose to make it look that way.
00:42:53.860 If you ignore all the political violence on the left and you hype up any political violence
00:42:59.320 that might exist on the right, then yes, magically you wave your wand and it turns out the right
00:43:03.900 wing is the extremist.
00:43:05.160 The Trump people are the extremists.
00:43:06.340 What an amazing trick you've done by simply being in charge of these institutions.
00:43:10.920 But there's a deeper truth here.
00:43:12.680 Okay, there's a deeper truth here.
00:43:14.140 Yes, they're ignoring this so that they can cook the books.
00:43:17.240 But also, BLM and Antifa were not actually anti-government or anti-authority extremists.
00:43:25.200 They were counter-revolutionary troops of the regime.
00:43:29.060 Trump was not supposed to be in charge.
00:43:30.960 Trump was not supposed to be in charge, people.
00:43:36.700 This guy terrified them.
00:43:39.640 And let's be clear, even though he was hated by a lot of people, Trump was flying high on
00:43:45.040 a good economy.
00:43:45.900 Now, you can say, rightfully so, that that economy was also based on a bunch of overprinted
00:43:51.280 money, cooked books, investments, whatever.
00:43:53.200 I think, no matter what you want to say, it is very clear that the economy under Trump
00:43:59.000 was much better.
00:44:00.220 Gas prices were lower.
00:44:01.260 People had more money in their pocketbooks.
00:44:02.780 People could afford more things.
00:44:04.620 Groceries were not insane like they are now.
00:44:06.760 Like, it is very clear the economic situation is better.
00:44:09.400 If you're a president who's an incumbent president, and you have a great economy, and you haven't
00:44:15.860 like lost a major war or something, or raised a bunch of taxes like George Bush Sr. did,
00:44:22.100 then the chances of you losing your election are really low.
00:44:25.920 Like, you're probably getting re-elected.
00:44:27.920 The left is perfectly aware of the fact that Trump was on track to get re-elected, and they
00:44:33.880 needed to get rid of him.
00:44:34.760 So, what is BLM, and what are Antifa?
00:44:40.600 They are not revolutionary troops against authority.
00:44:44.260 They are the foot soldiers of the regime acting against the revolutionary situation that occurred
00:44:52.740 when somebody like Donald Trump, who is not part of the uniparty, not part of the controlled
00:44:58.300 opposition, got into power.
00:45:00.260 Now, again, Trump is deeply flawed.
00:45:02.340 If you don't think Trump should be re-elected, I get it.
00:45:04.500 If you don't think that Trump should be the next GOP candidate, I get it.
00:45:08.260 I have disagreements with you, but I totally understand.
00:45:10.640 Trump's not always the best person.
00:45:12.220 Trump's not always the smartest person.
00:45:13.880 Trump made a lot of bad decisions.
00:45:15.880 I'm not, he's not a messiah.
00:45:17.100 He's none of those things.
00:45:18.000 I'm not, I'm not hyping up Trump as the last great hope of America.
00:45:21.380 What I'm saying is, this is the environment that was set up.
00:45:25.280 So why don't the FBI count Antifa as a real organization?
00:45:33.100 Why don't they count BLM as left-wing violence?
00:45:39.700 Because they support them.
00:45:41.240 It's really simple.
00:45:44.260 This isn't a conspiracy theory.
00:45:46.380 This isn't anything crazy.
00:45:48.260 It's just obvious.
00:45:50.420 They support these people.
00:45:52.380 They support their message.
00:45:54.120 They support what they do.
00:45:55.960 That's why they ran cover for them.
00:45:58.120 That's why they financed their release from prison.
00:46:00.780 Why they avoided bringing serious charges against them.
00:46:03.760 That's why they didn't do massive investigations using the kind of facial recognition and observation stuff that they're using for January 6th.
00:46:13.260 And why they didn't go after every single one of these people.
00:46:15.740 Oh, they were marrying mass.
00:46:16.920 Oh, plenty of them weren't.
00:46:18.560 There are plenty of people you could have pinched.
00:46:20.680 The FBI supported these people.
00:46:22.880 That's it.
00:46:23.860 That's the answer.
00:46:24.840 That's why they're not going after them.
00:46:27.520 This isn't a mistake.
00:46:29.040 This isn't hypocrisy.
00:46:30.940 This is the establishment of a hierarchy.
00:46:32.660 Left-wing foot soldiers commit violence in the name of the left-wing regime.
00:46:38.260 They are rewarded.
00:46:40.060 Right-wing opponents conduct what you could call a riot.
00:46:44.980 Fair enough.
00:46:46.060 On January 6th.
00:46:47.320 And they pay the full penalty.
00:46:48.920 Why?
00:46:50.020 Because we don't have an equal justice system.
00:46:51.940 And we're not supposed to.
00:46:52.960 That's not a mistake.
00:46:54.480 That's a feature.
00:46:55.760 That's something that they invested in heavily.
00:46:57.900 Something they wanted.
00:46:59.920 White House declined to comment.
00:47:01.180 Blah, blah, blah.
00:47:01.580 From the president down, the Biden administration has presented Trump and MAGA as an existential threat to American democracy and talked about the risk of domestic terrorism and violence associated with the 2024 election campaign.
00:47:14.580 Again, they have to acknowledge this fact because it's obvious.
00:47:16.960 So we're birthing the baby, right?
00:47:19.460 We're saying, oh, well, I mean, yeah, I mean, sure, the Biden administration has basically called all of their political opponents terrorists and fascists.
00:47:26.840 And, yeah, they have more or less morally and rhetorically justified all of this stuff towards them.
00:47:33.520 And, yes, they have made them the enemies of democracy.
00:47:36.240 And we define democracy as, like, whatever America is.
00:47:40.280 And so we've called them basically enemies of America.
00:47:42.680 And that means that we can are justified in basically doing anything to them.
00:47:46.380 Yes, we recognize that they've done that, made that narrative association.
00:47:50.800 But, you know, we agree with it.
00:47:53.040 So it's fine.
00:47:54.140 Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of the country, President Biden tweeted last September.
00:48:00.280 I'd like to remind you that President Biden already also called transgender children the soul of our country.
00:48:06.020 So there you go.
00:48:07.800 The first time that he explicitly signed out, signaled out the former, singled out the former president.
00:48:13.840 MAGA Republicans aim to question not only the legitimacy of past elections, but elections being held now and in the future.
00:48:20.420 Now, of course, there's a long history of the Democratic Party, liberals, and the media all questioning elections,
00:48:27.460 up to and including, again, our current vice president, Kamala Harris, saying that she saw the voting machines magically cheat in front of her.
00:48:36.540 If you want the receipts on this, Molly Hemingway has a great book called Rigged.
00:48:42.300 And it doesn't have anything to do with, you know, extra votes or magical vote totals being changed at, you know, after water pipes burst.
00:48:51.980 So, you know, not discounting that either, but just basic facts about how the electoral system was specifically manipulated.
00:48:59.420 And very interestingly, chapter and chapter of the Democratic Party, individual Democratic leaders, presidents, congressmen, vice presidents, the media,
00:49:11.320 all questioning the validity of elections in the United States, questioning voting machines, questioning balloting measures, all of this stuff.
00:49:19.240 It's all there. It's all there. Black and white. It's all there.
00:49:23.180 So all this questioning of elections is nothing new. In fact, it's a classic Democratic strategy to throw into basically any election they lose.
00:49:32.320 Stacey Abrams pretending that she was the governor of Georgia, right? Like, we know this, but they have to pretend like this is something that just magically appeared now.
00:49:40.700 And this is a unique and specific threat that we are allowed to attack because our political enemies are due in this time and we don't like them very much.
00:49:46.940 So Biden's hope Biden Homeland Security advisor Liz Sherwood Randall said the use of violence to pursue political ends is a profound threat to our public safety, national security.
00:49:57.300 It's a threat to our national identity, our values, our norms, our rule of law or democracy, unless BLM or Antifa do it,
00:50:04.760 in which case we totally agree with it and we are going to fund it and we're going to ignore any connection and we are going to actively advance its goals.
00:50:15.440 I added the last part there, but I think we all know that's actually what was meant.
00:50:19.920 Through the FBI's, though the FBI's data shows a dip in the number of investigations since the slew of January 6th cases ended,
00:50:27.780 FBI Director Chris Wray still says that the breach of the Capitol building was not an isolated event and the threat is not going away anytime soon.
00:50:35.620 Reminder that Trump put Christopher Wray in power, so Trump is not exactly a solution to everything.
00:50:43.540 You know, again, he's not a magic wand. I'm not calling him a messiah figure here.
00:50:48.180 Just trying to explain that despite his many, many, many weaknesses, the system viewed him as an existential threat for a reason and acted accordingly.
00:50:56.120 In a joint report to Congress this June, the Bureau and the Department of Homeland Investigation say that threats from DVEs,
00:51:06.100 oh look guys, domestic violent extremists, you've got your own abbreviation, has increased in the last two years
00:51:11.920 and any further increase in threats will likely correspond to political flashpoints such as high-profile elections and campaigns or contentious current events.
00:51:20.220 I mean, yeah, obviously.
00:51:21.240 The FBI and DHS report concludes sociopolitical developments such as narratives of fraud in the recent general election,
00:51:28.980 the emboldening impact of violent breach of the U.S. Capitol, conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic,
00:51:35.160 and conspiracy theories promoting violence will all ultimately spur domestic terrorists to try to engage in violence.
00:51:41.520 Again, you'll notice that all of the things that they just listed there are all the things that they accuse the right of doing, right?
00:51:48.300 Again, there's no mention of stoking racial tensions to, you know, encourage the burning down of cities and the looting of stores.
00:51:57.720 There's no mention of manipulating, you know, body cam footage or released social media footage in an attempt to inflame violent riots or, you know, siege government buildings as Antifa members.
00:52:12.460 None of that stuff matters, amazingly.
00:52:14.720 It's only the stuff Trump supporters do.
00:52:16.440 But remember, we have to be very careful about, you know, impacting someone's First Amendment rights.
00:52:21.740 We're very worried about that.
00:52:23.240 We journalists and FBI people, we're very, you know, we're really objective people just playing it straight and down the middle.
00:52:29.500 Just happens to be that all of our political enemies happen to line up, you know, and be the bad people.
00:52:34.880 The threats listed in that paragraph are all clearly associated with American right.
00:52:38.100 Yeah. And in particular, the Trump MAGA supporters right after right after January 6th, the FBI co-authored a restricted report in which it shifted the definition of an anti-government, anti-authority, violent extremism from further furtherance of an ideological agenda to furtherance of political or social agendas.
00:52:58.360 For the first time, such groups could be labeled because of their politics.
00:53:04.920 So shifted the definition from ideological extremism, which to be clear, it's just another word for politics.
00:53:13.140 But now we can specifically target them just because of their political association.
00:53:17.400 So we don't need evidence that they've been, you know, reading really salacious material on a website somewhere connected to scary people.
00:53:25.940 If they just happen to have voted for the wrong guy, if they just happen to, you know, have groups with the wrong politics, they can be identified here.
00:53:36.280 It's a subtle change, little notice, but a gigantic departure for the Bureau.
00:53:41.700 Trump and his army supporters were acknowledged as a distinct category of domestic violent extremism, even as the FBI was saying publicly that political views were never part of its criteria to investigate or prevent domestic terrorism.
00:53:56.180 Where the FBI sees threats is also plain from its way to categorize them.
00:54:00.460 The system on the surface is designed to appear non-partisan.
00:54:04.020 The shifting subtlety days after the events of January 6th when it comes to the Bureau, what the Bureau calls the anti-government activists.
00:54:13.080 We cannot and do not investigate ideology, a senior FBI official reassured the press.
00:54:17.980 We focus on individuals who commit or intend to commit violence or criminal activity that constitutes a federal crime or poses a threat to national security.
00:54:26.100 Of course, unless they're, say, manufacturing the abduction attempt of a governor.
00:54:34.160 Unless a guy is standing in a crowd and calling out and encouraging people to commit violence and we find out that actually many people in that crowd just happen to be FBI agents or informants.
00:54:51.200 Oh, what an amazing coincidence that over and over again, all of these groups are filled with feds and they all happen to actually encourage people to actively do the acts that they are, in theory, investigating how convenient that happens to be.
00:55:07.360 So, again, I think you guys get the idea of what's happening in this article.
00:55:12.180 We know for sure that the state security apparatus is specifically targeting people for voting for Trump.
00:55:19.860 It's no longer just you happen to be part of some kind of radical fringe, internet, extreme ideology or something.
00:55:26.900 If you are a Trump supporter, you are in a category that is officially a heightened security risk labeled by the FBI.
00:55:35.960 So half of the country, basically, anyone who opposed the sitting regime is a potential domestic terror threat.
00:55:43.760 That's what they're saying.
00:55:44.660 Now, again, Newsweek is Newsweek is pretending to care about this, pretending like they're they're calling, you know, attention to this and the light on this.
00:55:53.540 But they're really just bringing this forward so that you can normalize it so you can feel like, well, OK, we understand the complexity and the concerns.
00:56:02.380 But all the data says and all the experts say that this is a problem.
00:56:06.280 And so really, we should go ahead and do it.
00:56:11.860 So what does this mean?
00:56:13.900 It means a couple of things.
00:56:16.300 First, it means that there's a very serious problem in the United States.
00:56:22.720 And that problem is just way more important.
00:56:25.900 Sorry, then the border security of other countries, even if those things are tragic or terrible.
00:56:33.380 They're just not my current concern at the moment, because the government of the United States right now is targeting its political opposition.
00:56:42.800 People who held very important positions in the government, the secretary of state, the lead candidate for the Democratic Party who lost Trump is calling for the reeducation of her political opponents.
00:57:04.400 And she knows what that means.
00:57:05.540 She says specifically the formal reeducation.
00:57:09.160 We need to get the government involved in getting rid of our political opponents.
00:57:13.120 And here we know they already are.
00:57:14.440 So people need to know what time it is.
00:57:17.740 If you're sitting in Congress and you want to pretend like you actually represent the right, you actually represent conservatives.
00:57:25.840 If you actually want to pretend like the GOP is a opposition party.
00:57:31.800 Try shutting some of the stuff down any way you can through the funding mechanisms, through anything you can do to make sure that these people are not in charge.
00:57:40.780 These people are not able to affect their plan of shutting down political opposition in the United States.
00:57:46.920 A lot of people said 2020 was a one-time thing.
00:57:49.560 The left will never be able to summon that kind of energy again.
00:57:54.660 The woke will be put away.
00:57:56.720 The threat of the left manipulating this stuff will be put away.
00:58:01.080 That was a one-time thing because they saw Trump as such a threat and will go back to normal elections.
00:58:06.040 If you read this article and you believe that, you've lost your mind.
00:58:10.460 That's not what's happening.
00:58:12.240 And they print an article like this to let you know that.
00:58:15.540 This article is not a mistake.
00:58:17.000 It's a message.
00:58:19.660 All right, guys.
00:58:20.560 Looks like we have a super chat or two here.
00:58:22.760 So let me jump over to the questions of the people real quick.
00:58:27.540 Let's see.
00:58:29.980 Deuce Boogaloo here for $20 American.
00:58:33.960 Thank you very much, sir.
00:58:34.860 I appreciate that.
00:58:35.580 Normally, I, like you, oppose U.S. intervention in foreign conflicts.
00:58:40.180 But I have found out nine Americans were murdered in Israel on Saturday, and many are being held hostage in Gaza.
00:58:45.620 Does this justify U.S. involvement?
00:58:48.120 And if so, what kind?
00:58:49.340 That's a really good question, right?
00:58:50.940 That's a good question.
00:58:52.440 Because the question is, is there a reason to get involved?
00:58:57.680 And if there is going to be any reason, that would be it, to be fair.
00:59:03.160 Like, it is the actual job of the United States military, its real job, not its fake job, which is running around all over the world protecting, quote-unquote, democracy.
00:59:14.440 Its real job is to protect United States citizens.
00:59:17.180 Its real function is to protect the borders and the security of the United States and its people.
00:59:21.640 So, if there are people being held by Hamas, being killed by Hamas, that's a real, that's where the rubber really meets the road, right?
00:59:32.940 So, how do we answer this question?
00:59:34.600 I think there's a couple things to think about here.
00:59:36.360 And I'm doing this off the cuff on a live stream, guys, so give me a second, because I want to think about this and phrase it correctly.
00:59:47.820 Obviously, these deaths are not...
00:59:53.800 Tragedy is the wrong word, because they were...
00:59:56.020 It's not like a random car accident or a lightning strike or an act of God.
01:00:00.440 But it was a murder, right?
01:00:03.180 And if they're still being held hostage, that's an active choice that Hamas is making.
01:00:12.260 Now, is it the job of the United States to free American hostages?
01:00:20.920 I think the answer to that is probably yes.
01:00:22.620 However, does that mean that the U.S. has to go to war with Palestine?
01:00:29.900 Does that mean it has to fund Israel's defense?
01:00:34.100 No.
01:00:35.260 I don't think those are the same thing.
01:00:37.480 I don't think American hostages can't do anything about those that are dead, unfortunately.
01:00:42.820 But I don't think living American hostages mean the same thing as America and Israel become the same country,
01:00:50.480 and this becomes the same struggle.
01:00:52.620 But the truth is, a lot of people are used to the Pax Americana.
01:00:57.820 They think that Americans can just travel anywhere and do anything, and they'll be okay.
01:01:04.100 And let's be honest, American hostages have been held by foreign governments on a regular basis,
01:01:10.480 and we have done nothing depending on whether or not we like that government.
01:01:16.700 I mean, that's just the truth.
01:01:18.080 It's tragic, but it's the case.
01:01:19.360 There have been plenty of Americans who are held as prisoners by governments or are functionally held hostage for not doing anything, probably.
01:01:31.340 But they were just in the wrong place.
01:01:33.480 I mean, who knows?
01:01:34.080 Maybe they're intelligence assets.
01:01:35.240 But either way, these people are held, right?
01:01:38.080 And we have not done anything.
01:01:42.120 Americans are pretty used to traveling around and thinking that they're just safe,
01:01:45.300 and they don't pay attention to the danger.
01:01:47.460 They think they can just go to places and not care.
01:01:51.300 You know, I'm invincible.
01:01:52.200 And so the question is, like, is America the nation required to go to war every time a certain set of Americans,
01:02:03.180 a few Americans, decide to put themselves in harm's way?
01:02:07.860 Like, if a bunch of people go into a hostile country and they get arrested or they get held hostage,
01:02:13.760 is America required to then go to war with that country?
01:02:18.140 I mean, that can't be your foreign policy, right?
01:02:21.500 Like, you can't just say any time any American walks into another nation that is hostile to you or is a dangerous place
01:02:29.780 and something bad happens to them, you're automatically at war with that nation.
01:02:33.540 Like, that cannot be the way that you do business.
01:02:36.480 But there is a real question of, like, can you just leave a bunch of people in the possession of a terrorist group, you know, constantly?
01:02:49.280 Like, obviously, that is not good either.
01:02:50.960 I think that has to be a very difficult decision, right?
01:02:54.300 I don't I don't.
01:02:55.120 But if the answer is you do take military action, you take military action to remove those hostages specifically from that situation.
01:03:03.980 You do not take military action to go to war with another country because this happened in the middle of a blood feud between two ancient enemies.
01:03:15.360 That's not the that's that's definitely not the response for that.
01:03:19.980 So I understand what you're saying.
01:03:21.960 But I think the people my response is to the people who are immediately saying this is an attack on America.
01:03:27.260 This is this means, you know, the fate of Israel and America are tied one to one.
01:03:32.600 And any attack on on Israel is immediately means America has to go to war with not just Palestine, but Iran and anybody else who might be involved.
01:03:42.280 No, I'm sorry.
01:03:43.280 If there is any military operation justified, and I'm not sure if one is, but if one is justified,
01:03:48.820 then it should be targeted and specific to the people being held and it should not be a wider response that snowballs you into a yet another war simply shouldn't be the case.
01:04:05.060 Let's see.
01:04:05.880 Thuggo here for five dollars.
01:04:07.160 Do you think people in red states have a full concept of the danger facing the American right?
01:04:11.100 No.
01:04:12.340 No, though.
01:04:13.560 I will say this, a lot of a lot of people in, you know, some of the younger guys, people on the online right, they like to make fun of you.
01:04:21.120 They'll get the the boomer cons don't understand the boomer cons don't understand that.
01:04:24.420 I don't know, man.
01:04:25.060 If you talk to some of these people, they're more aware of some of the dangers of of the federal government than you might be aware of.
01:04:34.020 Like they're they're more they'll listen to you on on the dangers of the American government far, far more than you might realize.
01:04:40.580 Sometimes they have a unhealthy understanding of kind of their their relationship with that government or their chances of, you know, of anything with with certain aspects of that government.
01:04:54.380 But I think that some of them are a little more, you know, the the old joke of the boomer food posting on Facebook is not that much of a joke for a reason.
01:05:05.140 So there is that. But I do not think that in general, especially the actually more than than the red states, I think it's the leadership of the right.
01:05:14.040 Even even, you know, those who are supposed to be, you know, kind of America first or whatever.
01:05:20.040 I think those are more out of touch, perhaps with danger facing the American right than than kind of the average red state retired guy.
01:05:27.900 Though, to be honest, that could be because those people are simply part of the system and they can't imagine a moment where the system turns on them or they don't want to imagine a moment where the system turns on them because they enjoy their kind of cushy situation right now.
01:05:40.440 All right, guys, I'm going to go ahead and wrap this up.
01:05:43.120 But that said, thank you, everybody, for coming by.

01:06:04.760 I did write a article on my sub stack last year about Columbus Day.
01:06:09.720 I went ahead and reposted it today because none of those thoughts have changed.
01:06:13.840 But if you want to check that out, that is over my sub stack.
