Summary

A leftist gunman opened fire on an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas, and wounded several people, including one who was shot and killed, but no one else was hurt. On today's show, Aaron and Jaron speak with Jay Burton to discuss the latest leftist terrorist attack and how it bears many of the hallmarks of leftist terrorism.


Transcript

00:00:00.500 Hey everybody, how's it going? Thanks for joining me this afternoon. I've got a great
00:00:03.940 stream with a great guest that I think you're really going to enjoy. Before we get started,
00:00:08.080 I want to remind you that one of the ways we keep the lights on around here is of course
00:00:11.120 subscriptions to Blaze TV. So if you want to support what we're doing and get access
00:00:15.520 to all your favorite Blaze TV hosts while also seeing all the behind the scenes content,
00:00:20.480 you need to head to blazetv.com slash Oren to get $20 off your subscription today. That's
00:00:25.580 blazetv.com slash Oren. All right, guys, I was just talking with my co-host today about why it
00:00:35.940 would be great to just have one slow news day. But unfortunately, we have to inform you that it
00:00:41.600 has been zero days since a leftist terrorist attack. This time it was on an ice facility in Dallas,
00:00:49.180 Texas. We are getting reports that it was a shooter firing off of a roof. He was, it appears
00:00:57.520 to be trying to fire into a blacked out van, ended up shooting in and wounding several people,
00:01:05.280 including killing one of the detainees. It would seem that no ice agents themselves were actually
00:01:11.060 hit in the process of this and the shooter ended up shooting himself at the end of this terrorist
00:01:17.140 attack. This of course comes after Jimmy Kimmel returned to television yesterday and did not
00:01:23.640 apologize, refused to apologize for what he said about Charlie Kirk, covered up the motives of the
00:01:29.960 people who assassinated him, running cover for people like our new shooter today on the ice facility.
00:01:36.940 We've also seen multiple other leftists trying to spread misinformation about the shooter in the
00:01:43.000 hopes of distorting the worldview of those who are consuming their content. A huge problem as
00:01:49.340 the left increasingly believes a just completely distorted narrative about reality and what is
00:01:56.540 going on around them. But joining me to discuss this today is Jay Burton. Thanks for coming on, man.
00:02:02.500 Yeah, Aaron, thank you so much for having me on. Obviously, this is horrible. Thankfully,
00:02:08.700 no agents were hurt, but it is incredibly disturbing to see the trends that you and I have analyzed and,
00:02:15.800 to be honest, pointed to for years at this point of increasing radicalism from the left,
00:02:20.260 of an increasing level of comfort with using violence to achieve political ends. Well, sadly,
00:02:25.600 that has borne fruit. Sadly, the sort of years of radio Rwanda style dehumanization of their
00:02:33.440 political opponents has produced a predictable result, which is insane leftist terrorist violence.
00:02:40.400 And this is not something that we need to or ought to countenance. Thankfully, it seems as if this man
00:02:47.140 is not in a position to continue his actions. Obviously, we don't 100% know who did it or why,
00:02:54.580 but we can guess based off of what information we do have. But as we've seen, as you said earlier,
00:03:00.940 this is not simply one or two strange one-offs. This is a emergent pattern of deadly leftist
00:03:08.700 violence. And unless it's addressed, it will continue. It is the logical conclusion of the
00:03:14.320 arguments we've heard coming from that side of politics for well over a decade now. Sorry to say.
00:03:21.140 I think all of that's correct. And of course, we're going to need to dive deeper into the evidence
00:03:25.020 here, the leftist reaction, how Jimmy Kimmel plays into all this, even story about YouTube finally
00:03:31.560 admitting all the censorship it was doing under the compulsion of the Biden administration. But
00:03:36.320 before we get to all of these items, let's hear from today's sponsor. You know, we spend a lot of
00:03:40.700 time here talking about what's going on in culture and politics, the battles, the noise, the craziness.
00:03:46.420 But here's something different. If you're a woman listening right now, or if there's a woman in your
00:03:50.080 life that you care about, you need to hear this. It's called Share the Arrows, and it's happening on
00:03:54.700 October 11th in Dallas, Texas. It's hosted by Blaze TV's own Allie Beth Stuckey, and it's designed to
00:04:00.600 encourage, equip, and speak truth into the lives of women who are trying to stand firm in this world.
00:04:06.280 This is a day full of worship, teaching, and real conversations. So if you're a woman who's been
00:04:11.460 craving encouragement and biblical truth, this is for you. And if you're a husband, or a dad, or a brother
00:04:16.560 listening, think about your wife, daughter, or sister who needs this. In a culture that's
00:04:21.600 constantly pulling in the wrong direction, this is a chance to stop, reset, and get grounded in
00:04:26.360 biblical truth. Tickets and details are at sharethearrows.com. And yes, VIP options are still
00:04:32.220 available. That's sharethearrows.com. All right, guys, let's just read the news from Director
00:04:40.120 Kash Patel here. His statement, he says,
00:04:41.960 This morning, just before 7 a.m. local time, an individual fired multiple rounds at a Dallas,
00:04:47.100 Texas ICE facility, killing one and wounding several others before taking his own life.
00:04:51.760 FBI, DHS, ATF are on the ground with Dallas PD and state authorities. While the investigation is
00:04:57.280 ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an ideological motive behind this attack. See the
00:05:02.320 photo below. And if you go there, you can see what seems to be some kind of stripper clip.
00:05:06.640 One of the bullets has anti-ice written on it. One of the unspent shell casings recovered has an
00:05:14.800 engraving with the phrase anti-ice. More updates are withcoming. These despicable political motivated
00:05:20.340 attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off. We are only miles from Perryland, Texas, where just
00:05:27.220 two months ago, an individual ambushed a separate ICE facility targeting their officers. It has to end,
00:05:33.440 and the FBI and our partners will lead these investigation efforts to see it that those
00:05:39.280 who target our law enforcement officers are pursued and brought to the fullest extent of justice.
00:05:46.180 So, again, no actual ICE agents killed, but mainly it seems due to the incompetence of the shooter
00:05:54.360 firing into a van, he couldn't identify the actual people inside. So he didn't know which of the people
00:06:01.760 inside he was actually hitting. Perhaps he just thought it was full of ICE agents coming back from
00:06:05.460 a raid or something. Didn't know who would be in there, but he managed to only hit detainees. And
00:06:10.360 while some of them may have been hardened criminals, we just don't know. Obviously, they did not deserve
00:06:15.460 random bullets from a guy who was trying to murder people. So while we're glad that obviously the
00:06:20.680 officers are safe, still horrific loss of life and wounding done by radical leftist terrorists.
00:06:27.280 And as Kash Patel says here, most people probably don't know what's been going on with ICE. And we'll
00:06:34.920 get into this more in a second, but the left has built a very impressive apparatus to limit the amount
00:06:40.740 of information that people in their audience receive. This isn't just your echo chamber that we talked
00:06:46.680 about 10 years ago when people were complaining about college campus feuds. This is a full-on lockdown
00:06:54.400 of all information, misinformation campaigns, starting from the very beginning of every major
00:06:59.020 event, trying to distort what's going on. That's why Jimmy Kimmel was so important because he lied
00:07:03.200 about Charlie Kirk's killer. He didn't get any real punishment for it. He got away with it.
00:07:08.920 He's back on the air and leftists are taking a piece out of his playbook. I don't think even many
00:07:14.120 right-wingers knew ultimately the amount of violence that was being leveled at ICE officers.
00:07:19.300 Why people like Gavin Newsom pushing for the removal of ICE officers' masks is actually a
00:07:27.180 direct threat to their lives. They just didn't grasp the degree of violence that was already being
00:07:31.920 aimed at ICE officers. And now we see a full-on attack on these people, including a fatality and
00:07:40.260 multiple wounding.
00:07:41.460 Yeah, I think it's important to bring up. This is the logical conclusion of the last 15 years of
00:07:50.520 increasing violence, both in action and in political rhetoric. Obviously, we're not quite
00:07:55.840 at the high watermark of left-wing violence that was the late 60s, where there were dozens of bombings
00:08:02.140 every day across the country. But still, in the immediate, the last 10 years, if we look at that
00:08:07.360 trend line, it's headed in a worrying direction. Obviously, throughout the entire first Trump
00:08:12.680 presidency, the summer of love, and now the second, there has been a baseline level of leftist
00:08:18.700 violence. This should not be the case. It simply is. But what we've seen is the incredibly histrionic
00:08:26.620 reaction to Trump's basic border sensibilities, which is saying that illegal immigration is in
00:08:33.460 fact illegal, has been to turn that up to 11. To say again that this is, as Rashida Tlaib said,
00:08:40.440 this is a fascist coup. And we know that fascism, that Nazis, are the ultimate evil. And while the
00:08:48.240 logic, the conclusion of going from first we punch a Nazi, as we learned in 2016, to well, if they're
00:08:54.680 taking over the country, surely shooting them is justified, that's not a huge leap to make. And we're
00:09:00.400 seeing that there are many people across the political left who are picking up on those signals.
00:09:05.800 Because as much of a tragedy as any one killing is, these are not random scattered events. They're
00:09:11.540 politically motivated terrorist activity. I'm not saying that there's some wide web connecting all
00:09:17.520 these activists together, but they are picking up on the same signal from left-wing cultural elites.
00:09:23.420 People like Kimmel, who for years have produced a sort of Radio Rwanda stream of insane libel,
00:09:31.080 of slander about their political opponents, painting them as unredeemably evil and worthy of punishment.
00:09:39.360 And you've seen this even in the reaction to the tragic slaying of Charlie Kirk. While certainly,
00:09:44.420 you know, the biggest, the most popular figures, at least in some sense, condemned it,
00:09:48.640 the reaction from many progressives on the ground has been to sort of justify it, say, well,
00:09:54.220 he was a bad guy, or he was making people angry, effectively providing moral cover for this type
00:10:00.400 of action. And so clearly, if you have a motivation, a moral justification, there are some people,
00:10:07.320 maybe on the fringes, who are going to take you up on that deal. And unless those incentives are
00:10:11.760 corrected, unless the punishment is severe, this will continue. I don't say that because I'm happy
00:10:18.060 that it will continue. I am simply looking at the state of politics as it is, and making a very
00:10:23.600 reasonable projection. And these are, these are things are, and you and I were saying in the two
00:10:29.120 weeks preceding, after the slaying of Charlie Kirk, that this is likely to continue. And it looks like
00:10:34.180 we didn't even have to wait a month to be proven correct. But I'll throw it back to you.
00:10:38.540 No, it's exactly what both of us foresaw. I think anyone who isn't completely,
00:10:45.000 you know, ideologically possessed by some desperate need to stay within whatever norms they think have
00:10:52.820 been preached to them by the system can see pretty quickly where this was going. Obviously, we had
00:10:58.940 leftists spinning out of control. As you said, a few of them had the self-discipline, even for a day or
00:11:04.100 two to denounce the shooting. But pretty much at this point, all of them have come back and said,
00:11:08.900 well, actually, maybe Charlie Kirk was a fascist. Maybe he really was a terrible person. Maybe he
00:11:14.380 really did, you know, deserve this. You shouldn't do it. You shouldn't do it. But, you know, we get,
00:11:18.660 we get why you might do it. You know, if someone could just, you know, rid me of this meddlesome
00:11:23.980 priest, you know, very much that mentality on the left over and over. And as soon as I saw guys like
00:11:31.340 the Cranstonsteins coming out and pledging their allegiance to Antifa, I knew where this is going.
00:11:36.480 I know that this was going to spiral out of control. I even made a video saying, look, guys,
00:11:40.500 we're on the other side of the Rubicon. Okay. There's a time where people would have known at
00:11:44.940 the very least to just keep their mouths shut, right? Like, just keep your mouth shut. We lost
00:11:49.420 this news cycle. You know, David Stributus was talking about this on his stream recently. We lost the
00:11:54.720 news cycle. Just sit this one out. You know, we'll, we'll, we'll come back a couple of weeks
00:11:58.940 after basically what they did with when Trump was shot, right? They knew there's just no,
00:12:03.660 you had a few guys like the tenacious D guys who just couldn't keep their mouths shut.
00:12:07.020 But for the most part, like they knew that, okay, we should, we, there, there's just nothing.
00:12:11.320 Even if we're total cynical political actors, the best move in that Machiavellian sense is to get,
00:12:18.300 just keep our mouth shut. There's no winning this news cycle. So just wait for the news to wash over
00:12:24.080 people. And then we'll go back to yelling and calling everyone a fascist in a few weeks,
00:12:28.120 which is exactly what they did. But this time they didn't even tap the brakes. And you can see
00:12:32.480 this, you know, here's a Cranstonstein says, uh, who writes anti-ice on a bullet just before
00:12:38.820 shooting three immigrants and being detained by ice. Suddenly those who never trust the FBI are
00:12:43.920 suddenly convinced by this. So again, we're just immediately introducing conspiracy theories into
00:12:48.500 it. No, uh, you know, there's no way that anyone would write their motives on a bullet, except of
00:12:54.160 course, the guy who shot Charlie Kirk, uh, the person who just shot up an entire, uh, uh, school
00:13:00.480 worth of Catholic children at mass, uh, actually writing your messages on your magazines and your
00:13:06.120 rifle and your bullet are a big part of this like trans Antifa shooter culture. Now we don't know
00:13:11.340 if this guy was a troon or a troon chaser. Uh, but I, I, I bet you, but it's going to be one of the
00:13:17.600 two either way. We don't know for sure. Uh, we don't know if he was officially affiliated with
00:13:22.040 Antifa, but the pattern of how these shootings work, how they, you know, kind of write their
00:13:28.040 mission onto their bullets has been seen over and over again. So Cranstonstein is just lying
00:13:34.120 directly to his audience and hopes that they will believe the narrative that this is in no way a
00:13:38.680 leftist. We see the same thing here with, uh, Aaron Rubar, who usually spends all his time just
00:13:44.720 posting Trump's best clips, uh, and pretending like they were bad. But today says, uh, this is the
00:13:49.880 officious, uh, shit I have seen. They're supposed to believe that the shooter wrote anti-ice and pin
00:13:55.060 on a bullet and then shot the detainees, but not a nice officer. Again, uh, ignoring the fact that
00:14:01.080 this is a pattern of display, a pattern of, uh, kind of a ritual, uh, before you commit one of these
00:14:07.880 shootings to etch your, uh, ideology onto the weapon or onto the shells. Like we haven't seen this
00:14:13.700 multiple time from leftist terrorists. Also, yes, it turned out that only the detainees ended up getting hit,
00:14:19.880 however, again, I believe they were shooting into a blacked out van. So he did not know who he was
00:14:25.420 shooting. And also surprise, surprise, idiot leftist, not the best shot, not the best at,
00:14:30.820 you know, identifying the target he's trying to hit kind of probably why he blew himself away at
00:14:36.640 the end. I'd imagine he shot a couple of immigrants realized he didn't get any ice agents and then
00:14:41.280 decided maybe the best way out of this was immediate. So yeah, not exactly, uh, some amazing
00:14:47.060 conspiracy theory and guys, by the way, I know a lot of people have been spinning conspiracy theories
00:14:51.840 with, uh, Charlie Kirk and his assassination. And they got angry because I pushed back against
00:14:58.240 them, but this is why it's a problem. This is why it's a problem. Cause you're aiding the left in
00:15:02.880 this. You're letting the left off the hook. Oh, it was Israel. Look, you don't have to like Israel.
00:15:07.460 You can even believe that Israel would shoot a foreign official. That's not exactly a crazy belief,
00:15:13.280 but believing they shot Charlie Kirk and putting the onus on them helps to feed into guys like
00:15:20.100 Aaron Ruppart going out there and saying, Oh no, it's all, it's all conspiracy. Every one of these
00:15:24.900 shootings, we don't know anything. Everything's in question. Every bullet is a magic bullet. Every
00:15:30.040 shot is an impossible shot. Uh, this, this culture of going in and immediately trying to spin the obvious
00:15:37.280 motives here is only aiding in the left's ability to push this Jimmy Kimmel strategy. This strategy
00:15:43.260 of running forward, lying to their own audiences, distorting reality before any real reporting and
00:15:49.180 get on the ground. And by the time any real facts are known, all the leftists assume they already know
00:15:55.000 everything they need to know about the crime. They move on. They never hear the actual truth.
00:16:01.380 Well, and that's very much the advantage of power, right? When we talk about being in charge,
00:16:08.320 when we talk about the deep state, that that sort of institutional control lets them escape the
00:16:14.620 consequences of their actions. When we, we talk about Jimmy Kimmel, it's important to compare and
00:16:21.100 contrast what happened there to what happened to Alex Jones. Uh, look, I think Alex Jones is really
00:16:26.380 funny. I don't actually listen to him really on anything at all, but it's important to say that he
00:16:31.860 judging by the, the kind of, you know, most reasonable take made the same mistake. If we
00:16:38.200 can characterize it as a mistake that Jimmy Kimmel did saying something incorrect about a tragedy.
00:16:43.560 Well, okay, sure. Kimmel does get canceled. He's back. I should say, which is different,
00:16:50.180 but let's say he gets canceled. And very importantly, sorry to interrupt, but very importantly,
00:16:55.640 uh, he's back after several terrorist threats and a full-on terrorist attack on ABC affiliates.
00:17:03.640 So yes, maybe ultimately his buddies in Hollywood put a lot of pressure on what was going on,
00:17:08.720 but to be clear, uh, you know, the Sinclair broadcasting group was planning to air a, uh,
00:17:14.580 a tribute to Charlie Kirk in his place, in the place of, uh, Jimmy Kimmel. And in response,
00:17:19.540 they received several bomb threats and one of their affiliates, uh, I believe in California,
00:17:23.940 Sacramento, uh, actually got a hail of gunfire through the window. Luckily no one was killed,
00:17:29.560 but to be clear, one of the very direct reasons Jimmy Kimmel's back on the air is because left
00:17:35.500 has committed more terrorism in response to him receiving any kind of, uh, consequence for lying
00:17:42.860 about Charlie Kirk. Well, definitely. And that's what I mean to say when the left, when you are in the
00:17:49.020 favor of power, you don't have to pay consequences. You don't have to accept the consequences of the
00:17:55.020 wrong things you've done. Yeah, sure. It's embarrassing for Kimmel. He doesn't get quite
00:17:58.360 as much as he would, but look at Jones. Jones owes what? Three quarters of a billion dollars,
00:18:05.440 right? Some preposterous amount. Absurd. He's ruined for life, financially ruined.
00:18:10.900 And similarly, when we look at this sort of stochastic terrorism, right? Calling for violence.
00:18:16.580 Orin, you and I understand how careful right-wingers have to be really about anything when we're on
00:18:23.500 platforms like YouTube or social media. We have to use creative euphemisms. We have to talk around
00:18:28.980 things. We have to be very cautious discussing anything that has to do with physical violence.
00:18:34.980 But for those aligned to power, for those who are on the political left, they can say basically
00:18:41.320 whatever they want. They can encourage violence obliquely or, in many cases, directly. And even
00:18:47.540 when those calls are acted upon, even when there are a spate of terrorist attacks, well, who actually
00:18:54.500 gets punished for it? One guy, kind of, right? And even then, somewhat reluctantly. You compare to
00:19:03.040 someone like, you know, Mackey, right? Who spent, effectively, the best part of a decade in and out
00:19:10.300 of court over a joke. A joke that, I might add, Kimmel and many other leftists have made. It's sort
00:19:16.480 of an old saw, right? A joke that your grandparents would make about, oh, I hope the Democrats come out
00:19:21.660 to vote on November 3rd. You know, ha-ha, kind of poke someone in the ribs. But if you're an enemy of
00:19:28.720 power, they're going to use that to ruin you. Alternatively, if you're a friend, you can basically
00:19:34.440 do whatever you want. And so, you know, the old line that Stalin may or may not have said,
00:19:39.740 for my friends, anything, for my enemies, the law, that's what we see here. Even when the sins,
00:19:47.120 so to speak, of each group are as far apart as they can be, right? Bodies being stacked up on one side
00:19:53.080 and being minorly rude on the internet on the other. Yeah, that one was a South American dictator.
00:20:00.380 I'm trying to remember which country. Maybe a Salvador? Anyway, not the current one. But yeah,
00:20:07.200 ultimately, we can see, you sent me this one, that things are only getting worse out there. We have
00:20:12.420 people openly posting recruitment posters for violent terrorist organizations that talk about
00:20:18.780 celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk and posting the very phrase that was etched into the bullet.
00:20:26.100 So, you know, the impossible thing that can't ever happen, you know, that none of these leftists have
00:20:29.840 ever seen before, except, you know, two weeks ago. The same message. So they are openly recruiting
00:20:35.120 terrorists, you know, on college campuses without fear because the Trump administration isn't doing
00:20:40.920 anything. Very, very simple. Very simple. Trump administration is not taking action. And so
00:20:46.860 they're continuing to do this. Here is yesterday, I believe, in, in, we had Eugene, Oregon, where there
00:20:56.460 was a large number of Antifa surrounding a federal building. They trapped ICE agents inside for a number
00:21:04.080 of hours. They needed to find alternative routes until federal law enforcement finally showed up. So,
00:21:10.100 you know, it was only a few hours of complete embarrassment by an open terror organization
00:21:15.260 to the Trump administration before they finally decided to do something about that. So, I mean,
00:21:21.200 what we're seeing here is that the Trump administration's complete inability to take
00:21:25.800 action in this moment is causing serious violence inside the United States. Now, I get it. You're
00:21:32.180 waiting maybe for Charlie Kirk's funeral. You were waiting to build cases against these people. You want to
00:21:36.920 do it right. Okay. But it's been several weeks and we're still seeing no high profile arrests. You can't
00:21:43.200 find one guy, one guy in Antifa who's committed a criminal conspiracy. I'm very doubtful of this. I'm
00:21:51.220 extremely doubtful of this. So, what is happening here? Like, I'm sorry. I'm angry at the left. I'm going to
00:21:58.120 blame the left a lot today. But I want to be very clear. I am furious at the right. I'm sorry. Like, I'm
00:22:04.000 trying to give the Trump administration the benefit of the doubt. But how many dead bodies does it take?
00:22:09.740 How many dead children does it take? How many dead fathers does it take? How many attempts to murder
00:22:15.480 ICE agents does it take? How many dead Christians does it take? When are we going to care? When are
00:22:22.780 we going to care enough to stop this? Oh, they're going to call us fascists. They're literally shooting
00:22:28.100 you while calling you fascists for debating them. Who cares? Who cares? I don't care if they call us
00:22:37.740 me names. I want them to stop shooting people. We all know how to stop it. This isn't a mystery.
00:22:44.820 This isn't some conundrum. This isn't some difficult logistical issue we got to work out. It's not.
00:22:51.160 And I'm really, really, unfortunately looking at guys like Cash Patel and Pam Bondi,
00:22:57.480 especially Pam Bondi, who can't seem to get anything together. We don't seem to be getting anywhere.
00:23:03.660 No arrests, no RICO cases, no raids, nothing. At most, we might be able to arrest a few people
00:23:10.900 who are literally obstructing ICE agents from leaving a building in an attempt to intimidate
00:23:15.760 them. That's about all we can do. Otherwise, can't be can't be bothered, it seems.
00:23:22.340 Well, especially when we have recent history to show what the intelligence agencies in the U.S.
00:23:29.500 can do to our own citizens. You may remember when the Biden administration was sending no-knock raids
00:23:35.720 to deal with octogenarians who may have been too close to an electoral justice protest that happened
00:23:41.480 somewhere. Again, this is clearly doable. The tools exist. This is the most powerful government
00:23:48.220 security apparatus the world has ever seen. I don't believe you when you say, oh, it's too hard,
00:23:54.300 we can't figure it out. Either you're incompetent, you're lazy, or you just don't want to do it.
00:24:01.060 It's sort of up to them which excuse they want to pull. Although I don't know if those really help
00:24:05.340 them out. But clearly, again, this is a problem of will. It can be done. We've seen these same tools
00:24:13.980 turned on us and our friends time and time again. They exist. If we can go after MAGA grandmas,
00:24:22.020 why can't we go after the people who are very clearly posting their intentions? We know the
00:24:28.900 platforms. Discord, for example, where many of these organizations plot. Well, Arun, if you and I
00:24:37.060 decided to start a Discord and we started saying things, we'd be kicked off almost immediately.
00:24:42.740 This has happened to many people on the right. Not only that, you run the risk of having your
00:24:47.160 personal information exposed, as has happened many, many times. So clearly, these mechanisms exist.
00:24:53.380 These tools exist. Why are they not being used? Is it simply that every institution and tech and
00:25:00.080 the entire judicial system has been taken over by libertarians and classical liberals who don't want
00:25:06.220 to impute on the rights of others? That may have happened. I'm not convinced by it. But again,
00:25:12.380 when we look at the administration, I think myself and many others were happy to give them the benefit
00:25:18.120 of the doubt. Happy to say, okay, I'll give you guys some time to figure it out. Once, twice, maybe.
00:25:26.100 But now you've been in charge. You control everything. Okay. So if you can't do it, why are you really in
00:25:37.840 charge? Because if you can't stop this, if you no longer have the monopoly on violence,
00:25:43.140 are you really sovereign? Are you really the leader, if that's the case? And I hope that I'm
00:25:49.460 wrong. I hope that tomorrow we wake up and all of these guys are being led away in chains. But
00:25:54.260 at least judging off the information we have, I don't think I am wrong.
00:25:57.980 Sadly, I don't think you are. And as you say, it's not just the raids on the J6 grannies, right? It's
00:26:08.180 also protesters at abortion clinics. It's guys like raids on guys like, why can I suddenly not remember
00:26:20.040 his name? Older gentleman has a tattoo of Richard Nixon was the super charismatic gray haired guy who
00:26:31.660 was always Roger Bannon. No, no. Robert Stone. Stone. Yes. Yeah. So yeah, like, you know, the full
00:26:42.360 armed, you know, middle of the night. Thank you, Roger Stone. Yes. Full, full middle of the night raids
00:26:48.120 on guys like Roger Stone who were not going to hurt anyone. Uh, you know, but yeah, we were more
00:26:52.520 than able to just, you know, show up to their house, you know, machine guns everywhere, uh, swarm the
00:26:57.480 whole place, kick through the door windows, you know, no problem. The Biden administration did this
00:27:02.640 all day long. Didn't hesitate. Didn't, didn't bother them even the slightest. Uh, but we can't get one
00:27:08.240 Antifa guy. We can't get one arrest. We can't get one Antifa leader. Just one. I get it. You're not
00:27:13.880 going to get them all in one swoop. That's fine. You can't put one guy up for me just to be like,
00:27:17.920 okay, we actually care. We're going to do something. There's more coming. It's really
00:27:22.600 insane. And it's, it's looking very bad. And I hope that yet another direct assault on federal
00:27:29.200 law enforcement will make these guys actually get off their butts and do something, anything at all.
00:27:35.980 It is insane at this point that they're continuing the way they are.
00:27:40.080 Even out of simple self-interest, right? Let's assume that these people are selfish.
00:27:44.960 Clearly, right. Maybe you could say, well, they can't really be bothered to protect people like
00:27:52.240 you and I are. But at this point, there are shots being aimed at agents of the state, which is again,
00:28:00.540 clearly a thumbing your nose at power saying, I can come at your guts and look. All right. I get it.
00:28:07.440 This guy isn't exactly around to, you know, go to prison afterwards. He pursued, uh, Canadian
00:28:12.880 healthcare as the kids say, nonetheless, this is a real problem. This is a challenge to your
00:28:18.560 authority. And if you can't put an end to this, if you can't say, if you swing at us, you'll regret
00:28:25.400 it. Well, I'm sorry. You're not sovereign. You're not in charge. You're not the real government
00:28:30.720 because whoever is in charge. And we've seen this and let's be honest, literally any state ever
00:28:35.660 has that ability. And when we combine, when we compare failed States to real ones, well,
00:28:42.540 what is the feature of failed States? They don't have the monopoly on violence. They've lost the
00:28:46.800 ability to say the only people who get to enact violence on others to enforce their will is me and
00:28:53.440 my guys. It's a very basic requirement of being a country. And RN, you and I live in the most
00:29:00.300 powerful, prosperous nation on earth, allegedly. But if that is true, and yet our government with
00:29:09.280 this, you know, almost miraculous amount of power, these incredible security apparatus cannot do it
00:29:16.040 either. They don't care or they can't. And again, what's the answer there? I think the Trump
00:29:24.140 administration needs to provide an answer to that question. Do they not care or are they not
00:29:29.560 sovereign? Cause as far as I can tell, those are the only two options. Yeah. Again, agree a hundred
00:29:35.480 percent. And it's, this is only going to spiral further out of control. The leftists are only
00:29:41.060 going to be more emboldened as this wedge is continually driven by these actors. But let's
00:29:48.360 speaking of go to Jimmy Kimmel, who of course returned last night, he did his best to do a
00:29:54.680 non-apology to try to look very sad. He did lots of cryy face, which is something Jimmy Kimmel has
00:30:00.800 done before. He's, he's a little Jordan Peterson in that way. However, he managed to go through this
00:30:07.520 whole thing with a large amount of righteous indignation. We'll just hear the non-apology
00:30:12.060 here. I don't think what I have to say is going to make much of a difference. If you like me, like
00:30:16.480 me, if you don't, you don't. I have no illusions about changing anyone's mind, but I do want to make
00:30:20.820 something clear because it's important to me as a human. And that is, you understand that it was
00:30:25.840 never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man. Of course it was. It's not even
00:30:33.460 like you literally are, if you're cracking jokes about it immediately, like you can say, okay,
00:30:39.300 I'm a comedian. It's what I do. But saying I didn't mean to make light of it. No, you literally
00:30:43.800 worked it into a comedy monologue. That's exactly what you meant to do. No one can miss this from
00:30:48.300 outer space. Well, and it's especially embarrassing because I would almost respect him more if he was
00:30:54.900 fully bought into the bit. He's like, yeah, you know what? I'm a comedian. I say horrible stuff.
00:31:01.020 Deal with it. Like that was his position. All right. I wouldn't have said it, but I could at least get
00:31:04.980 it. But being able to have your cake and eat it too, being able to say outrageous things. And then the
00:31:10.340 moment that someone objects to it, the moment you might face consequences to sort of run back to mom
00:31:15.780 and say, oh, that's not what I meant to do. That's not what I meant to do. This is the exact mechanism
00:31:19.640 I was speaking to earlier. But when you are the friend of power, you don't have to play by the
00:31:24.420 rules. You get to have your cake and eat it too. You get to pretend to be edgy when you want and then
00:31:31.700 retreat back. Use your Mott and Bailey to make sure that you can both be edgy and joke and also never
00:31:38.520 be held account for what you've said. It's incredibly irritating. And the fake tears are
00:31:43.860 unbecoming. It's probably an understatement.
00:31:47.720 Yeah.
00:31:53.720 I don't think there's anything funny about it. I posted a message on Instagram of the day he was
00:31:59.120 killed, sending love to his family and asking for compassion. And I meant it. I still do.
00:32:03.920 Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what it was obviously a deeply
00:32:10.560 disturbed individual. So again, just a complete lie here, top to bottom. So he directly blamed a
00:32:17.240 group. He made it very clear who he blamed. He said it was a MAGA Republican. He said it was one of
00:32:21.880 their own. He knows exactly what he said. And yet there's no apology here. You notice he hasn't said,
00:32:27.480 I'm sorry for misleading you. I'm sorry for lying about that. I'm sorry for covering for terrorist
00:32:33.220 attacks on this man's family. I'm sorry for making sure that his children and his widow heard me
00:32:39.800 lie about and completely distort the facts so that their father's killer could get a free pass,
00:32:46.060 at least in public opinion. He didn't say any of those things. He just said, you heard me wrong.
00:32:51.300 I didn't intend to say that, except it's exactly what I said verbatim. So there's no apology here.
00:32:56.960 This is just him stating, well, I'm going to cry a little bit while I explain why I said exactly what
00:33:03.360 I said. Well, actually, no, I'm just going to lie about what I said entirely.
00:33:06.820 That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make. But I understand that to some that
00:33:11.620 felt either ill-timed or unclear or maybe both. And for those who think I did point a finger,
00:33:17.840 I get why you're upset. If the situation was reversed, there was a good chance I'd have felt
00:33:22.240 the same way. I have many friends and family members. So again, just complete lie here,
00:33:28.020 top to bottom, you know, oh, you misperceived me. I understand why you might come to this conclusion.
00:33:34.040 I get how you could listen to my words and then come to the wrong understanding. Not a single word
00:33:40.140 about what he actually said. Not a single word of asking for forgiveness, apologizing, showing any
00:33:47.240 actual sadness over what he had done and how he had treated the Kirk family and how he had distorted
00:33:53.160 the American reality. And the worst part about this is now that he is back on air, he has signaled to
00:33:58.960 all the other leftists that this is now how we conduct ourselves. And you can see this from the
00:34:03.100 Cranstonsteins and the Rhubars of the world. Of course, this has been a part of less leftist
00:34:08.040 operation for a long time, you know, spinning things before they really get out into the world
00:34:12.900 to change the perception. But Jimmy Kimmel is now in the position where we just full court press lie,
00:34:18.880 not just in the news media, not just as reporters, comedians, entertainers, whatever it is.
00:34:24.380 As soon as a cultural event goes out, as soon as there's any political violence,
00:34:29.620 rush forward, give a false narrative, spin the understanding. And that was what will anchor
00:34:36.340 into people's brains. And then when their, you know, Republican uncle shows them a clip of the
00:34:42.320 actual facts of what's going on, they can just be like, yeah, whatever, bigot. I'm sure you got that
00:34:47.040 on Fox News, right? Like that is now the standard operating procedure. Send every leftist soldier out
00:34:54.380 to the front lines as quickly as possible to lie about these terrorist attacks so they can hope to
00:35:00.180 spin it and completely distort the idea that leftists have in the United States.
00:35:05.320 Well, and again, when we talk about the ability of the left to have their cake and eat it too,
00:35:10.480 you get the advantages of violence, right? You get to silence your political opponents
00:35:14.480 and then dump the blame on the very people being targeted. It's an incredible bit of misdirection.
00:35:21.140 You can understand why they would want to pull it off, but there's no reason to let them do that.
00:35:26.920 There's no reason that they should be able to both advocate for violence and then blame the
00:35:32.880 victims of that violence for the very occurrence. It's absurd. And I say this, I feel no sympathy
00:35:41.780 for him in the slightest. He deserves everything he got for it. And I'm sad to say, as you mentioned
00:35:48.140 earlier, that it appears as if terrorism works, that if you threaten broadcasters, if you shoot
00:35:53.960 guns at their affiliate offices, well, you get what you want. And we also have to understand many
00:35:59.660 times people on the right are told to worry about the precedent, right? If we set the precedent that
00:36:05.600 you can be canceled for a joke, well, what will come of that? One, I would say in that case,
00:36:11.320 that precedent was set quite a while ago, but also if we roll over here, we have to worry about the
00:36:18.500 precedent being set there as well. If we say you can react to something you don't like with threats
00:36:25.700 of violence and get what you want, you do realize what you are incentivizing. You are incentivizing
00:36:31.160 more political violence. And unfortunately, that is exactly what we've seen.
00:36:35.940 So when the kind of well-meaning conservative asks you to consider the precedent being set,
00:36:42.820 understand that knife cuts both ways. In any case, there is a action and a reaction. And even aside
00:36:50.800 from the individual culpability of the people involved with this violence, which is there,
00:36:54.540 it is their fault that it happened. You also have to understand that people react to incentives.
00:37:01.020 And certainly some of the incentives are outside of our direct control. We can't, at least
00:37:05.400 immediately, make the left stop lionizing these people. We can't immediately make them stop
00:37:11.640 turning them into folk heroes. But what we can do is make sure that those people who do commit
00:37:17.320 violence and those who aid and abet them are punished severely. Similarly, we can make sure that
00:37:23.660 violence is not an effective bargaining tool, changing the landscape, changing the incentives.
00:37:29.720 And sure, are there not cases? Obviously, there are always not cases. There are guys who read
00:37:34.100 catcher in the rye and decide it's time to blast me, John Lennon. But that's a very different thing
00:37:40.140 from we're talking about, which is people, admittedly crazy people, reacting to language
00:37:45.980 coming from left-wing cultural figures, reacting to, I wouldn't even say dog whistles, just outright
00:37:52.520 calls for violence again and again and again.
00:37:55.220 Yeah. And again, I'm with you 100% on this, you know, oh, what if the pendulum swings back stuff?
00:38:02.860 I mean, obviously, it's been insane for a long time, right? Like we've watched, again,
00:38:07.600 J6s go to jail, abortion protesters go to jail, administration officials go to jail without
00:38:13.480 committing any crimes. We've seen, obviously, the censorship across all kinds of different
00:38:19.360 platforms. So the idea that like, oh, you can't bring the FCC into this, even though Jimmy Kimmel
00:38:25.400 directly violated the broadcast agreement by lying on air is just insane. It's like, oh, well, when you
00:38:32.080 get back in power, what? All your conservative late night hosts will get canceled? Like, what are we
00:38:38.240 doing here? Like, what are we even trying to say? Obviously, the left is already doing all of this.
00:38:43.580 You can't avoid the consequences of the swing back because they're already happening.
00:38:48.440 It can't, it can't, they are murdering people. It doesn't get worse than this. Like, it could be
00:38:54.820 more intense of the same thing, but all of the consequences are here. And that really comes
00:39:00.660 forward in our last story here, which is the understanding now that Google has admitted quite
00:39:08.200 extensively, actually, to being openly pressured by the Biden administration to censor conservatives.
00:39:15.780 Now, we all knew this, right? Like, this is, this is one of those, this is like, oh, it turns out it
00:39:20.140 wasn't a bat flu from a wet market, or it turns out the vaccine doesn't actually work. Like, we all
00:39:26.580 knew this, but we, you know, but it was all the, oh, well, we can't say it out loud thing. Now, we have
00:39:32.760 the direct proof from Representative Jim Jordan. He says, due to oversight efforts, Google commits to
00:39:39.120 offer all creators previously kicked off YouTube for political speech violations return to the
00:39:44.020 platform. But that's not all. YouTube also admits that the Biden administration censorship pressure
00:39:49.940 was unacceptable and wrong, confirms that Biden, the Biden administration wanted Americans censored
00:39:55.180 for speech that did not violate YouTube's policies. Details when YouTube began rolling back its
00:40:00.940 censorship policies on political speech, states that the public debate should never come at the
00:40:07.280 expense of relying on authorities, promises to never use third-party fact checkers, warns that
00:40:12.520 European censorship laws target American companies and threaten American speech. So we have an open
00:40:17.760 admission from, I think, the largest video platform in the world, one that certainly every young person
00:40:24.020 is completely addicted to and watches pretty much exclusively instead of television. And it admits that
00:40:29.360 outright, it has been banning and demonetizing and censoring entirely at the behest of the federal
00:40:36.540 government by the government by the administration. And this has to have resulted in one of the
00:40:42.820 largest destructions of information available. Now, you know, Jay Burton and I were talking about
00:40:49.580 this beforehand. We tend to not like to do these stories because it feels a little bit like inside
00:40:53.480 baseball. Like, obviously, we're two people who earn our living, at least in part, on YouTube. So it
00:40:58.040 matters to us whether or not you can monetize videos on YouTube. But there is a larger principle here,
00:41:03.780 not just us going, oh, whoa, is the influencer. What we're saying is that this information is being
00:41:09.820 censored in real time. And by making sure that you demonetize or completely remove these people from
00:41:15.600 the internet, you are ensuring that entire generations of people do not get this information,
00:41:20.160 that they are completely cut off from the truth. They're completely cut off from what's going on.
00:41:24.360 They have no idea about what's actually happening. And this is happening in real time under complete
00:41:29.920 government compulsion. So when it's, oh, what if the FCC points out that you're violating the law?
00:41:35.400 Oh, what if the Biden administration directly went to the video platform and said, take it off or else?
00:41:41.920 And then they did. Like, I don't know about you, but I can't imagine there isn't a, you know,
00:41:48.180 hundred, if not, you know, hundred million dollar class action lawsuit at minimum available to YouTube
00:41:54.320 creators who lost their entire livelihood over the Biden administration, directly ordering censorship
00:42:00.680 and YouTube choosing to comply. To be clear, YouTube is not a victim here. They wanted to do
00:42:06.400 this. That's why they did it. The Biden administration telling them to do it is just an excuse.
00:42:11.380 They wanted to do this. That's why it happened. There are plenty of cases where the government
00:42:15.480 tells, you know, different companies like Apple to do something and just say, no, piss off.
00:42:20.780 That's not what YouTube did here. They could have done that. They could have fought the battle.
00:42:23.560 They didn't, they wanted to remove these creators. The Biden administration told them to,
00:42:27.440 that gave them a nice reason to do so. And that's why we ended up here.
00:42:32.000 Yeah. So several things there. Uh, one, again, when we speak about incentives,
00:42:36.640 this is creating a massive cultural incentive, which is if you were on the left wing, you can make
00:42:43.520 quite a lot of money by making left wing propaganda. Some of the biggest streamers in the world are
00:42:49.480 lefty propaganda machines and they are incredibly wealthy. Whereas if you were interested in right
00:42:55.300 wing ideas, uh, one, it's a, it's an uphill battle, but two, you're not doing it for the money.
00:43:00.880 Oren, you and I followed a similar path where when we started out, one, weren't making a lot of money
00:43:07.480 at all. And two, it was incredibly dangerous. If we were found out, we'd lose our jobs, our real jobs,
00:43:13.600 at least. And so that's massively stacking the deck again, because like many people, I got more
00:43:20.140 interested in right wing politics because of things I found on social media, book reviews,
00:43:25.720 streams, something like that. And while look, like there is a growing right wing movement in America,
00:43:31.520 that's certainly true, despite the censorship. But nonetheless, we have to understand that that is
00:43:37.940 in spite of things like this, in spite of the largest companies in the world, attempting to
00:43:44.980 use arbitrary power to check that. I mean, I think both of us can, can rattle off dozens of people who
00:43:51.560 were kicked off the platform for basically no reason, never broke any of the rules, never said
00:43:57.700 something that all of us could look at and say, okay, well, you shouldn't have done that. And as you've
00:44:03.900 said, YouTube is not a victim here, because they still did this even before the Biden administration.
00:44:11.660 They still did this when Trump was in power. They were happy to pull out something that said,
00:44:17.260 oh, you've violated our terms and best practices. Goodbye. For, again, no reason given. And so to me,
00:44:26.300 look, I hope Jim Jordan, I hope the other congressmen take a hammer to YouTube. I have
00:44:36.560 no sympathy. Any punishment is not harsh enough as far as I'm concerned for this. But in all
00:44:43.580 seriousness, we have to understand that they are presenting this in such a way as to foist
00:44:48.260 responsibility on the Biden administration, an administration which certainly I have no love for,
00:44:53.340 and certainly they did a lot of bad things. We have to understand YouTube did a whole bunch of
00:44:58.380 this on their own well before Biden was even, you know, on the political stage as a presidential
00:45:03.580 candidate. So don't let them skate on this. Don't let them set the terms of what they've done,
00:45:10.140 but also understand that this matters. And it's not just you and I complaining about our AdSense
00:45:15.720 payments. It's that we've seen for the past 10 years, I mean, even going back to Obama,
00:45:20.400 the incredible impact of social media on political discourse. And the right has punched massively above
00:45:27.180 its weight on social media, despite overwhelming censorship. And so one has to wonder, where would
00:45:33.500 we be if social media was a level playing field? Where would we be if people like you and I are and
00:45:40.160 didn't have to use euphemisms to talk around certain issues, to modulate what we say in public,
00:45:46.800 because, you know, the, the, the moderation team is, you know, the worst combination of,
00:45:53.040 you know, Silicon Valley and New Delhi put together, right? It is, this is clearly a threat to our
00:46:00.540 democracy to use language that is regularly touted to punish people like you and I. And if we do again,
00:46:06.980 live in a democracy, how can this be allowed, right? How can power put their, their thumb on the
00:46:15.400 scale? Well, we all know, right? We all know that's not how it works, but nonetheless,
00:46:19.860 Google has admitted it. Let, let them pay the consequences of that, right? They have admitted
00:46:25.880 they did something wrong. And so, uh, I don't know how much, uh, we've already seen with Alex Jones,
00:46:34.240 right? When you make, when you make an enemy of people in power, you can be forced to pay truly
00:46:38.000 outrageous sums of money. So, uh, why not? You know, let, let's let Google empty their pockets a
00:46:44.220 little bit. Yeah. Again, I am unfortunately believe that, uh, Republicans will extract no real price out
00:46:51.840 of these guys other than forcing them to allow people back on the platform. I've already seen
00:46:56.260 some people like, uh, Dave Cullen computing forever who've been banned for 10 years for basically
00:47:00.560 nothing. Like really we're, we're in no way radical, no way controversial, uh, you know, outside of kind of
00:47:07.100 just the, the, the banal, uh, you know, uh, standards of 10 years ago, uh, is finally, you know, finally
00:47:13.960 back on the platform. So I'm glad for them. I'm glad that, you know, he's returned. It'll be
00:47:18.300 interesting to see if they put, you know, guys like Nick Fuentes back on, if they're, if they're
00:47:23.440 doing this, if they're trying to remove it, or if it'll be a very careful rollback of very specific,
00:47:28.200 uh, creators. But ultimately, like I said, I think it has to be, uh, it has to be a class action
00:47:34.700 lawsuit. If you want to get anything out of these guys, there, there has to be legal action by
00:47:38.720 creators who lost in many cases, you know, thousands, tens of thousands of hundreds of
00:47:44.360 thousands of dollars, uh, maybe, maybe over, you know, the course of several years, millions of
00:47:49.040 dollars because of what YouTube had, had done. Uh, and so, uh, I think that's the only way they'll
00:47:54.740 pay any kind of price. But again, this, the ultimate point of this in, in kind of the context
00:47:59.740 of all of our other stories today is don't tell me what if the left comes back and censors us?
00:48:05.620 What if the left uses power to silence our voices? We got to be careful. We can't set the precedent
00:48:10.840 because if we do, they might do all the stuff we know they did and can prove and just came out
00:48:17.020 in additional congressional testing or hearings. Well, and this is something that mutual friend
00:48:23.160 of ours, Dave, the distributist was talking about that from the perspective of the regime,
00:48:28.280 the left wing, right wing establishment, the way that things are supposed to work is that when the
00:48:32.780 left is in power, they get to use power. They get to cancel their opponents. They get to financially
00:48:39.460 ruin people they don't like. And the right gets to set things to a level playing field. So it
00:48:46.860 creates this ratchet where when I'm in charge, I get to hit you. And when you're in charge, we have
00:48:52.660 to be perfectly respectful and keep our hands to ourselves. And over time, again, talking about
00:48:57.460 trend lines, we know which ways that goes. And again, I have no sympathy for someone who says,
00:49:03.680 well, how dare you do this? Acting as if conservatives, right wingers have invented
00:49:08.740 these strategies, acting as if we don't remember what it was like when, you know, firefighters would
00:49:15.140 lose their job for donating $5 to Kyle Rittenhouse, who I might add was acquitted. He was not guilty of
00:49:21.900 murder. But to say that this is some sort of new innovation, that this is America turning dark is
00:49:28.740 absurd. And much as we've seen with Kimmel, these are crocodile tears. This is a cynical reaction
00:49:35.800 designed to provoke a change, designed to get us to stop doing something that's actually working.
00:49:42.400 And again, remind people again and again and again, don't listen to their fake tears because
00:49:50.040 they're cynical, because they're using that to get you to let up. So when they're in charge,
00:49:54.600 they can hit you back twice as hard. It's so clear that this is not an argument in good faith.
00:50:00.340 And we've seen that because, well, they don't feel particularly upset about using violence.
00:50:06.680 And if that's on the table, I'm sorry, if you're killing ours, you losing a job, you being forced
00:50:13.660 to pay out for breaking the law. I don't even know if that's quite fair, right? That seems to me to be
00:50:19.820 a very gracious response, all things considered. Yeah, it's not enough, but at least it's something.
00:50:25.660 And at this point, that's that that's far more than we've been getting. All right, well, we're going
00:50:29.540 to head to the questions of the people are stacking up quite a bit. Before we do, Mr. Burton, can you
00:50:33.260 please tell people where to find your excellent work? Yeah, sure. So my
00:50:36.600 primary output is the Jay Burden show. You can find me on Apple, Spotify, YouTube,
00:50:40.940 anywhere you listen podcasts. Again, Aaron, thank you so much for having me on.
00:50:45.300 All right, let's go to Thimplari says,
00:50:48.660 Fum, I don't have my enough Latin for that. While Rome debates,
00:50:54.180 Seguenta is captured. Speeches don't stop civil war. Yeah, again, I think we all understand that
00:51:00.340 action is what is required here. I do think that we can get everything done that we need to get done
00:51:05.700 under the color of law. But if it doesn't get done under the color of law, it will get done
00:51:10.200 somewhere else. So I'm really hoping that the Trump administration understands where it's at right
00:51:15.660 now. It should have understood it a long time ago. Maybe they've just been lining up the most
00:51:21.860 thorough case we've ever seen in human history. Cool, but let's go. Now's the time. Enough of the
00:51:28.560 hand-wringing, enough of the vague, I will come after Antifa at some point. Now is the time.
00:51:33.880 That's enough. Thimplari says, Pam is a disaster. Yeah, I mean, obviously, I've made an entire
00:51:40.520 rant about that. So I won't go into any more detail. I didn't say, you know, put Gates back in,
00:51:47.980 you know, get, I don't know, DeSantis, somebody, just anyone else, really.
00:51:54.040 Leonard says, AA said it best today. All the quasi-right-wing populist leaders across the West
00:51:59.500 are simply compromised. Until you fix that, you accomplish nothing. That's, of course, true.
00:52:07.100 But the question is, how do you fix that, right? Like, I'm with you, right? But for academic agent,
00:52:14.660 who, you know, I'm friends with, but has, I feel had some erratic commentary as of late.
00:52:21.500 Like, it's impossible to shoot anyone with a .30-06 from, like, 200 yards away. He thought
00:52:27.780 that was, like, magical. And so it's like, okay, I hear you. Yes, they're compromised. So what do you
00:52:33.300 do, right? My hope is to encourage those in power to properly serve the people that they are supposed
00:52:41.480 to, recognizing that it is in their own interest. I understand they're compromised, but you try to
00:52:45.880 create a wedge and say, okay, if you do not enact these things, we will know who you are and what
00:52:53.020 you are done. Now, maybe they will still fail. It seems like they might. I'm not saying they won't,
00:52:57.760 but, like, practically, what does any of that mean, right? And I think the answer is you have to put
00:53:02.360 pressure on people in the Trump administration, other public officials, other private entities like
00:53:08.940 corporations, and see if you can't move the needle. Not because I'm this big fan of the power of the
00:53:14.540 people, but literally, what else are you going to do? Right. It's like we have a limited number
00:53:21.600 of levers to pull. And if the conclusion is there's simply nothing to be done, just wait for the next
00:53:28.140 cycle, you know, like we're waiting for, you know, a new age. It's like, okay, I mean, conceptually,
00:53:35.600 you may be right, but that's a very horrible way to live, right? Just wait for something else to be
00:53:40.680 done. It's sort of bizarrely like feminine in a cosmic sense, right? To simply wait to be acted
00:53:45.660 upon by history. Uh, and a lot of lunar energy there. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. I'll, I'll leave it at
00:53:52.060 that. Look, I, I, I, I have, I am obviously a fan of elite theory. I think there is a wisdom to
00:54:00.020 keeping your powder dry until striking with the decisive blow. But at some point you can be like,
00:54:05.600 well, the burden, the barbarians are outside and they are burning down my village and they are
00:54:10.800 planning to rape my wife and my children, but it would be imprudent to fight them now. I'll wait
00:54:16.160 till later. Like at some point, the moment comes, whether you have the plan or not. So there, there
00:54:21.460 is a level of analysis paralysis that allows you to simply, uh, engage in cowardice. And that's what
00:54:27.220 I'm trying to avoid. I'm not trying to push anyone into, I don't want anyone to get radical.
00:54:30.720 I think everything, like I said, now should be focused on encouraging the Trump administration
00:54:35.980 to take lawful action to prevent any other, uh, you know, uh, type of action being necessary.
00:54:42.840 Uh, that is where my energy is focused. Now, if you think that's a waste of time, that's fine.
00:54:47.320 Just don't stand in my way. I mean, it's, it's like that section from Proverbs 20 something,
00:54:53.320 right? There is a lion in the street. Like, yes, there is always, there's always some reason not
00:54:58.380 to do something, but ultimately like you have to make a move. You have to play. And even if you
00:55:05.080 have a very poor set of cards, well, a decision must be made. And again, I think that AA is a friend
00:55:15.200 of mine, a huge influence on my thinking, but this is an area in which I think that, uh, perhaps the
00:55:20.360 three of us disagree. I'll leave it at that. Joe McDermott says, I'm confused why Antifa outside
00:55:27.040 of ICE is not in Gitmo. What was the effect of labeling of a terrorist organization? Well,
00:55:31.940 unfortunately, labeling of a terrorist organization domestically has no real legal weight. Uh, there
00:55:39.100 is no specific power that is granted to you by designating a, a, uh, domestic terror group.
00:55:46.780 Now a foreign terror group is different. There is actually legal, uh, language, you know,
00:55:52.740 powers are triggered by declaring Antifa a foreign, uh, terror group, which I think there is grounds to
00:55:58.960 do because they were not started in the United States. Antifa is fundamentally started in Europe.
00:56:03.200 It is not American and it's founding. I think there's a great case to do this. And the Trump
00:56:07.700 administration should, but labeling them domestic terrorists really only tells the executive branch
00:56:14.720 to take them seriously. That's it. It doesn't have any additional legal language, unfortunately.
00:56:19.920 Well, also, and again, you still need to do something once you've declared them a terrorist.
00:56:25.420 It's not like, you know, the, the joke from the Michael Scott, you know, yeah, right. Yeah,
00:56:29.060 exactly. I declare you're a terrorist. It's like, well, okay, there's a step two to that, uh,
00:56:35.000 that magic equation, right? You can jail a terrorist. If they, if they can say you can punch a Nazi,
00:56:41.000 you can jail a terrorist. That that's the easy answer to that one. Nuka, uh, or I said Nuka
00:56:46.620 Cola cause I'm a huge fallout fan. Uh, cherry, uh, Coke Nixon says Andrew Colvalt, uh, posted on X,
00:56:53.620 uh, Hey, fascist catch flyer from John Brown club at Georgetown, DOJ FBI sleep at the wheel. Yes.
00:56:59.940 That's the, the flyer that Jay Burden sent me. And yes, the fact that that is appearing on college
00:57:04.340 campuses, they are openly recruiting, uh, for more terrorism. They are celebrating violence. They are
00:57:10.000 saying openly that they cheer the death of Charlie Kirk. They plan for more. Uh, the fact that this is
00:57:14.740 being allowed, uh, you know, I remember I'm not that old. I remember a whole month ago when the
00:57:22.940 Trump administration brought the entire hammer, the entire weight of the law onto organizations
00:57:28.580 like universities because they were anti-Semitic. I remember this. I was there for this. Jay,
00:57:34.440 you remember this, right? I'm not crazy. I'm not delusional. I remember I was, I was alive back
00:57:39.280 then several months ago. Right. So like, I remember when the government had the authority,
00:57:45.660 the ability, the political will to immediately punish these organizations for not being like
00:57:53.880 huge fans of Israel. So I think I, I know I'm crazy here. Maybe I'm out of my skis, right? I don't
00:58:02.340 want to, I don't want a Tucker Carlson moment where everyone thinks I'm an anti-Semite here, but if the
00:58:07.160 government can punish schools for being anti-Semitic, then it can probably punish universities for
00:58:15.700 allowing the recruitment openly of terrorists on their campus. There was just another conservative,
00:58:23.400 sorry, go ahead. No, no, I, I hold the very radical position that our government should
00:58:28.420 consider its own agents to be as worthy of their protection as they do the citizens of another
00:58:34.560 country. And it seems to be a relatively a reasonable ask, but sorry, I interrupted our
00:58:39.540 no, no, it's okay. It's just, it's, it's, it's driving me nuts. I'm really tired of the,
00:58:44.900 well, what if we take this action? We, we could take it on anti-Semitism. We could take it for Israel.
00:58:50.100 You tell me you can't protect Americans on college campuses. You can't protect conservatives on college
00:58:55.780 campuses, but you can protect pro-Israel demonstrators. Why? What is the magic? Explain it to me.
00:59:03.200 Like, I don't know. I know, but tell me, pretend I don't, pretend I don't know. And just, just explain
00:59:08.400 it to me slowly. Like, why can't we do this? The, the, the universities are obviously facilitating
00:59:16.160 people. We just had another consumer, a conservative influencer who tried to set up like a table talk,
00:59:22.420 like Charlie Kirk did. And by the way, guys, I don't like clout chasing all this stuff. So just
00:59:28.300 think about your souls when you're doing this. Anyway, uh, the point being, uh, that he set this
00:59:33.300 up like 10 minutes in the entire college crowd was threatening him, pulling him out. The police
00:59:39.100 couldn't guarantee his safety. College campuses are basically now like hot landing zones in Vietnam,
00:59:45.760 like conservative pundits are basically like lieutenants dropped into a hot LZ in Vietnam. That's,
00:59:51.660 that's now how long they can last in any given, uh, uh, college setting. That's open terrorism on
00:59:59.420 campus. If you can shut down antisemitic protests, you can shut down violent attacks on conservatives.
01:00:06.000 I know you can do it. So just do it. Don't give me the excuses and do it. Life of Brian says,
01:00:14.820 uh, orange early, uh, life of Brian says orange early hope that Trump would act reminds me of
01:00:19.920 Charlie Kirk's, uh, Epstein remarks about trusting his friends in government delusional. Look, man,
01:00:25.040 the other option is, well, we all know what the other option is. So if you would like to go ahead
01:00:30.740 and advocate for all on, you know, full scale vigilante violence, I'll let you take that into
01:00:38.820 your, you know, you can do that if that's what you feel like doing. I advise against it, but that is
01:00:43.700 not my first reaction. My first reaction is encourage the government who ostensibly is in power. It is
01:00:49.340 ostensibly serving our interests to take legitimate action. It's not like I went in with my eyes closed.
01:00:55.720 I understood that these guys often fail at this. That's why I encouraged it from the very beginning.
01:01:00.660 In fact, many people attack me for not having enough faith in the Trump administration. It's
01:01:04.440 only been a few days, Oren. Why are you speaking on this now? Give them a few days to figure it out
01:01:09.240 from day one. I jumped on him. No, this has to happen. It has to happen now. If it doesn't happen,
01:01:13.360 terrible stuff will follow. So I hear you like, yeah, ultimately this has been very disappointing,
01:01:19.560 but the other option was to advocate for full on vigilante violence. And that was not what I was going
01:01:24.080 to do. So if you think that that was just too weak for you, please move on. Find someone else who's
01:01:30.100 going to scream your fed posts out for you. I'm going to advise the administration to act within
01:01:35.620 the law to bring justice to these people. Because if we don't, then the next step is rather horrific.
01:01:45.060 He also says, Trump does nothing for the same reason. I don't keep up with the lit on reproductive
01:01:50.520 patterns of ants. He is a hundred percent donor driven. He doesn't care. Again, best of luck.
01:01:55.020 Templar says, imagine if Lincoln had spent four years just saying this needs to stop. Well,
01:02:02.600 don't get me started on Lincoln. Yeah. Don't, don't go spinning utopias to me.
01:02:11.520 Let's see here. Philosophical thirst worm says, uh, Bondi is a childless old woman, uh, forced by GOP
01:02:17.840 senators because they know she's useless. It's the whole point. Thun's singular mission is containment.
01:02:23.400 Again, I, uh, have to say that Bondi's, uh, action has been entirely disappointing. Uh, there are
01:02:30.880 probably other weak figures that I guess could have been male or something. Uh, but ultimately
01:02:35.260 she's the one they picked and obviously she has not been up for the job. Um, if you had a problem
01:02:40.280 with Gates, there had to be someone else competent. And it seems like we put in someone who wasn't,
01:02:45.020 uh, is it entirely so she could be incompetent or unable to get the job done? I don't know,
01:02:50.540 but it surely is where we're at now.
01:02:53.400 Thirstworm Sims, uh, compare how Cash and Bondi react to two college kids arguing about Israel.
01:03:00.800 Maybe we'll get some action if they engage in free Palestine next time. Yep. Again,
01:03:04.600 like I said, Bondi's first reaction when she heard about what happened with Charlie Kirk
01:03:08.260 was to talk about antisemitism on campus. We all see it guys. Like it's not, nobody's blind here.
01:03:13.360 Okay. Everyone, everyone's on the same page. Uh, so let's just make sure that, that, that it's
01:03:18.440 understood. We have the power to do this. We've seen the administration do it. So they need to do it.
01:03:23.400 Rupert weirdo says he's not sorry. He's afraid. I sadly don't even think Kimmel's afraid at this
01:03:29.480 point. Uh, you know, that, that, that's the, the really sad truth is I don't think he's even afraid
01:03:34.780 at this point. Uh, he knew he had to cry a little bit to get back on television. So he did. He knew
01:03:40.020 he wasn't going to apologize. That's why he was taken off in the first place. That's the rumor is
01:03:44.060 that he was supposed to apologize and he refused. And look, there are still two, two large affiliate
01:03:49.200 groups, uh, Sinclair and, uh, next star who are still refusing to show his stuff, right? So about
01:03:57.060 70 of the 250 affiliates for ABC refuses to air the Jimmy Kimmel show, which is actually quite bad for
01:04:04.180 them. I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but it's actually a huge hit because they probably already
01:04:07.720 took a lot of flack from advertisers who didn't want to be involved. On top of that, advertisers who
01:04:12.000 still are involved are getting like a third of the stations are not getting those advertisements in
01:04:16.940 that time slot. Uh, so it is actually quite a blow. The real question is will Sinclair and next star
01:04:22.360 continue or will they just say, Oh, well, I guess he cried on camera. So it's okay. I hope they
01:04:27.940 continue to block this. Uh, unfortunately I don't know if they will. Uh, but at least at this moment,
01:04:32.920 there is some level of penalty, but it's certainly not that I think ultimately he's sorry at all.
01:04:37.440 Well, especially when we consider how much money Kimmel's operation has been losing anyway,
01:04:43.120 like it's been running at a loss for years at this point. Uh, so, you know, look like if you're
01:04:48.840 losing money, that's not good, but to increase the rate at which you're losing money by about a third,
01:04:54.840 uh, obviously it's not the wind and having him gone would be, but at least they're paying through
01:05:01.460 the nose for the privilege of keeping him around. Yeah, that's right. At this point, ABC is,
01:05:06.720 and this should really be noted, Disney, ABC, they are paying a Jimmy Kimmel tax because they
01:05:12.060 support his ability to cover for terrorists more than money. So again, you know, the cap,
01:05:18.200 the, the completely purely capitalist theory of, uh, incentives for corporation proves entirely
01:05:24.240 incorrect. Uh, they will choose ideology over money on a regular basis and they are doing it again.
01:05:31.240 Uh, but at least as you say, there is a real penalty there. They are having, being forced to pay
01:05:35.660 a tax for keeping him on. Jacob Zendel says, why are there still gender studies departments at
01:05:42.160 U S universities? Again, I agree a hundred percent. We know this is an ideology that gets
01:05:46.400 people killed. We know it's an ideology that, uh, it encourages child mutilation. We know that it ends
01:05:52.120 up pushing, uh, this over and over again. And so I think, you know, all of this needs to be removed
01:05:57.780 from universities. We know that the administration can do it. So let's do it.
01:06:03.780 Simon, uh, Rabban, uh, says, uh, does the Bible interpret itself? If so, how I'm assuming this is
01:06:11.800 some kind of sola scriptura, uh, attempt here. Uh, so, uh, I'm not really gonna like do theology,
01:06:18.940 I guess at this one. I'm, I'm not a pastor. I'll let someone handle that.
01:06:24.480 Uh, wild speaker says, I sympathize with the administration that they can't be as transparent
01:06:29.520 as they'd like. You can't show your hand before the turn. And I hear you that ultimately does
01:06:34.700 make sense. Uh, but, uh, we need to see action at some point. We can't just hear, oh, well, uh,
01:06:40.900 we're always planning. We're always planning. We're always planning. As we've pointed out,
01:06:44.720 as burden has pointed out, as many of the commenters have pointed out, we've seen that the
01:06:48.500 administration is perfectly capable of doing things like enforcing their will on college
01:06:51.900 campuses. So I get, maybe you can't do an entire Rico case in two weeks. Fine. You can put pressure
01:06:57.160 on college campuses. I know you can, I've seen you do it and I've seen you do it in the same amount
01:07:00.460 of time. So let's see that. I'm not asking for every action right away. I'm not asking for a
01:07:05.860 roadmap to every single FBI raid. I understand why that won't work, but I can see some action. And
01:07:11.540 right now I'm seeing that. And Michael Gray says, we can't let Charlie Kirk slip into our rear view
01:07:17.820 mirrors. The left is furious that we punched back and they won't forget it. Don't will. Yeah. Again,
01:07:22.780 their, their whole hope is that this media cycle just kind of moves on, right? They can get back to
01:07:27.280 what they were doing. Uh, but interestingly enough, they're rabid feeding into the cycle
01:07:31.460 rather than just laying low. Like they kind of did with the Trump assassination. I think means that this
01:07:35.840 won't just move on. I think that this one will actually, uh, stay with us for quite a while. I don't
01:07:41.100 think the assassination of Charlie Kirk is going to fade into memory immediately in the news cycle,
01:07:45.600 or at least it won't, if we have anything to say about it. So that's what we're going to do.
01:07:50.000 All right, guys, we're going to go ahead and wrap this up. I want to thank everybody for coming by
