00:00:00 Chud the Builder, charged with attempted murder, among other things like negligent discharge of a firearm.
00:00:08 There's a lot to break down in this story.
00:00:10 And the first bit of the context, for those that don't know who this guy is, is he is a streamer online.
00:00:14 He walks around, says he's engaging in his free speech rights to say what he wants.
00:00:21 And often the videos you end up seeing going viral are him walking around live streaming,
00:00:25 dropping racial slurs and accusing black men of chimping out. Now, of course, for a variety of
00:00:31 reasons, these videos have gone viral. It's shock content. Some of it is admittedly humorous,
00:00:37 not the more extreme stuff. I'm not a big fan of intentionally antagonizing people,
00:00:41 but there are clips that end up going viral. And it's not about the overt racial slurs. It's about
00:00:47 just a guy walking down the street live streaming. That does get him some fans. But I think for a lot
00:00:53 of it, people genuinely enjoy his racist content. I'm not saying all people everywhere. I'm saying
00:01:00 he has found an audience of people who agree with him, who like watching him go out and push back
00:01:06 on these social justice narratives. Although this is a particularly contentious issue. And there's
00:01:12 a lot to break down in the morality of it and the law of it. And the big question is, should he have
00:01:18 been charged with attempted murder. Last night on Timcast IRL, I predicted this guy's going to
00:01:23 prison. He will have the book thrown at him and there's not going to be a jury who will find him
00:01:29 not guilty. And I know a lot of people are going to get mad. They say, dude, let me give you the
00:01:33 story real quick. We'll go through everything because I don't want to, I don't want to drop
00:01:37 the lead on this one. He was walking out of a courtroom. He's, he says things, he insults
00:01:41 people. Apparently some guy told him, don't you dare say this thing to me, to which he said the
00:01:47 guy attacked him. Then he's getting whaled on. Apparently, he then draws a weapon and shoots the
00:01:53 guy and in the scuffle shoots himself as well. They have charged him. And I'm going to break
00:01:58 down exactly why. And the first and most important thing you need to understand about why I say
00:02:02 he's going to get locked up is social justice is the law of the land. And a lot of people
00:02:08 are upset by that. They want to push back on it. They're mad that we don't see the inverse. In fact,
00:02:12 we just had the mural of Irina Zarutska torn down. I think this was in Ohio. So this is why
00:02:19 people are mad. So I want to do a couple things in breaking down the story. The current standing
00:02:25 of social justice in this country and the individual merits of this case for which
00:02:30 they're clashing. Because on the surface, I think most people are going to say this dude,
00:02:37 and I want to make sure you understand what I'm saying. When I say this dude's going to jail
00:02:39 Again, it's because the machine will say you are a racist and racists go to jail.
00:02:47 That is going to be the bias of basically everybody.
00:02:50 Then there's the individual merits of the case, which pertains to the ideas of provocation,
00:02:55 past behaviors, and ultimately what it would lead to.
00:03:00 I think in an individual sense, he would likely be charged with something.
00:03:05 I don't think he'd get up on self-defense, but attempted murder seems to go a bit beyond a bit
00:03:12 beyond. So I'll put it like this as we get started, because it's a very contentious issue. I'm trying
00:03:16 to be careful. You know, I want to make sure I get through everything before everybody starts
00:03:20 exploding. Attempted murder seems pretty crazy for a case like this. That's because of the social
00:03:28 justice nature of our legal system and our society. There likely would still be charges
00:03:33 because self-defense probably would not apply.
00:03:35 But let me explain why as we go through the story,
00:03:39 breaking down who this guy is, what happened,
00:03:42 and what it ultimately means in the bigger picture
00:03:45 with how social media is developing.
00:03:47 And again, the reason why I want to talk about this
00:03:49 is the element of social justice in our society
00:03:52 and how it forces misapplied law,
00:03:56 benefiting minorities in most cases.
00:03:58 And I, as a mixed race person, don't see any of that.
00:04:01 I don't apparently don't get the white privilege, but I also don't get the minority privileges. 0.81
00:04:06 I think the whole thing is whack. 1.00
00:04:08 And there are some questions to be made, to be asked.
00:04:12 So let's start here.

00:04:43 Let's jump to the news.
00:04:44 Excuse me.
00:04:45 Chud the Builder charged with attempted murder after a courthouse shooting.
00:04:51 TMZ reporting.
00:04:52 Chud the Builder's problems are stacking up.
00:04:54 the controversial streamer has now been charged in connection with Wednesday's wild shooting
00:04:58 outside of Tennessee Courthouse. The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office announced that Chud,
00:05:03 whose real name is Dalton Earthly, was charged and booked for criminal attempt, murder,
00:05:08 employing a firearm during a dangerous felony, aggravated assault, and reckless endangerment
00:05:13 with a deadly weapon. Wow, I thought there was a negligence thing in there. I guess not.
00:05:16 I want to stress this. Attempted murder, committing a felony. This is where I think
00:05:23 it's going too far. And for obvious reasons that I think Dalton, I think this was the driver of who
00:05:30 he is and what he does. So the story goes that this guy apparently was driving a work truck.
00:05:36 I don't know if you guys remember this. It was like a big viral moment. And apparently he got
00:05:40 into an altercation with some black people. He threw down a racial slur. He said, Edward chill 0.68
00:05:45 or something like that. They attacked him. He gets fired and loses his job. I remember we talked
00:05:51 about this. Like, bro, come on. Like, this is stupid. Like, don't don't like. You get fired
00:05:57 over an altercation. You know what I mean? Like, this is the nature of our society right now.
00:06:01 But Homeboy apparently raised some money for this, created a social media platform,
00:06:07 got defended by a lot of people who are upset that it's a one way street in social justice.
00:06:13 You are not allowed as a white person to use slurs, but black people, Latinos, Asians,
00:06:17 they can use slurs against you. So naturally, a lot of people get pissed at the double standard.
00:06:22 So then kicks off his streaming career where he walks around and he goes up to people and he
00:06:30 throws down racial slurs because he's just like, let's roll. Now, I don't want to get into the
00:06:34 bigger picture just yet. I just want to give you a bit of the background before we get into this.
00:06:38 But committing a felony, he was leaving a courthouse. Let me read, let me read, let me
00:06:44 because I'm going to rant on this one like crazy. On Wednesday afternoon, officers responded to a
00:06:49 call of shots fired outside the Montgomery County Courthouse and detained two men who got into a
00:06:54 fight that escalated into gunfire. The men suffered bullet wounds, with one being transported to a
00:07:00 local hospital and the other treated at the scene. Both were listed in stable condition.
00:07:04 The Montgomery County District Attorney's General Office identified Earthly as a suspect
00:07:08 who was taken into custody before he was formally charged. Earthly live streamed the entire incident,
00:07:13 claiming he was jumped outside the courthouse and fired shots in self-defense.
00:07:17 He also said he accidentally shot himself in all the confusion.
00:07:20 Last week, Earth laid another run-in with the law in Nashville
00:07:23 where he was arrested for disorderly conduct and theft of services.
00:07:26 Police say he got into a spat with customers
00:07:28 who asked him to stop filming them at a restaurant
00:07:30 before he skipped out on a $371 bill.
00:07:34 So apparently in that story, what had happened
00:07:36 is that he was inside a restaurant
00:07:38 and this is the official reporting.
00:07:41 I do have Chud's comment on this one.
00:07:44 Apparently, people are like, don't film.
00:07:46 He said, mind your own business.
00:07:47 I'm not saying he literally said that.
00:07:48 He was saying something to the effect of like, leave me alone.
00:07:51 I can film what I want. 0.98
00:07:52 This restaurant then said, we're going to kick you. 0.87
00:07:54 You have to leave.
00:07:54 And he says, if you're kicking out, I ain't paying.
00:07:56 They kicked him out.
00:07:57 He left.
00:07:58 Apparently, the next day, the cops are like, theft of services.
00:08:01 You're under arrest.
00:08:02 Here's the story.
00:08:04 Colin Ruggs says, streamer Chud the Builder has been charged with attempted murder.
00:08:07 They say, Earthly accidentally shot himself.
00:08:10 So apparently, this is what happened.
00:08:11 He was confronted for his racist content. 0.93
00:08:14 Quote, he said, you start saying all that chimp out ish to me and I'm a hit you. 0.95
00:08:19 And he hit me and started wailing on me.
00:08:21 According to officials, the victim who was shot by Earthly was medically evacuated and is in stable condition.
00:08:27 Earthly appeared to accidentally shoot himself in the arm.
00:08:30 Earthly was also charged with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon and employing a firearm during a dangerous felony.
00:08:36 Now, the question I said, we do have video of it.
00:08:38 I think we can play some of this.
00:08:42 So you can see there's the police running in and grabbing them. I don't know who they're fighting with.
00:08:47 Holy shit, they're out here. 1.00
00:08:48 What the fuck? Somebody got shot. 1.00
00:08:50 Are they so bad? Yeah.
00:08:52 Yeah. Oh my god.
00:08:54 I gotta be honest, I don't know that this video, these are the actual videos of what happened.
00:08:57 Obviously, this is Chubb the Builder.
00:09:03 Yeah. Yeah, it sounds, it seems like the video's legit.
00:09:07 They got him. Oh my god.
00:09:08 Holy fuck. 1.00
00:09:10 So as it turns out, this guy who was shot, his name is Joshua Fox. 1.00
00:09:17 I believe that's the name that's being reported.
00:09:18 And he is a disabled military veteran.
00:09:21 So, oh boy, here we go.
00:09:24 The story gets crazier.
00:09:25 Now, a lot of people are accusing this guy, Joshua Fox, of being a known criminal with
00:09:29 a long ramp sheet.
00:09:30 However, this is not verified.
00:09:32 And many people are pushing back saying that's a different guy.
00:09:36 These are different people.
00:09:37 So we've got this right here.
00:09:40 This guy, Robbie Harvey, says, I spoke with Joshua's family.
00:09:42 He's awake and talking for surgery last night.
00:09:44 The long-term health complications for the military veteran is unknown at this time.
00:09:47 And you can see here he's on a stretcher.
00:09:50 We do have the GoFundMe.
00:09:50 I'll pull that up in a second.
00:09:52 This guy, N.O. Lolling, says, no thanks, and lists Montgomery County rap sheet.
00:09:57 And this person says, thanks for the engagement.
00:10:00 He responds with this story.
00:10:02 It says, Clarksville, Tennessee, on April 18th, 31-year-old Jethro Fox was involved
00:10:06 in a domestic incident with his wife.
00:10:08 However, the response to this is that that's a different person. 1.00
00:10:13 That's not the same guy, you illiterate moron. 1.00
00:10:17 On top of the pending cases, they say Chud Bomber is just a criminal, blah, blah, blah, blah. 0.99
00:10:22 So I don't know if that's the same guy and people are pushing this.
00:10:25 I also want to stress that people were also putting out fake news about who this guy is as well, showing a different guy.
00:10:33 This woman, Taylor Day, says the black guy shot by Chud was hunting him,
00:10:37 showing tweets from a guy saying he is near my city.
00:10:40 Should I go in?
00:10:41 The issue, however, and this guy also tweeted, I'm about to chimp out.
00:10:46 This is not the guy.
00:10:48 This guy was posting this stuff on X, still posting.
00:10:51 It is not him.
00:10:52 So we have this from GoFundMe where the guy who got shot, I don't like,
00:10:57 I'm not going to say victim.
00:10:58 We don't know what happened.
00:10:59 OK, I'm going to I'm going to break down a bit of what we think happened and and talk about self-defense and stuff.
00:11:04 This GoFundMe standing with Josh and family after shooting.
00:11:09 Let's see. And he's got twenty twenty two thousand dollars raised and looks like his wife, I believe.
00:11:17 So it's the knee fox writes.
00:11:20 Hello, everyone. It saddens me to come and ask for help.
00:11:22 But today at the Montgomery County Courthouse in Clarksville, my husband was involved in an altercation that led to him being shot by a man known as Chud the Builder,
00:11:27 who is widely known for making racial slurs towards people of color.
00:11:31 My husband, Josh, was shot in the stomach and shoulder.
00:11:34 As of the latest update, he's in stable condition,
00:11:36 but the emotional and financial impact this will have on our family is unimaginable.
00:11:41 There's no telling how long I may be out of work to help care for my husband,
00:11:44 who is already a disabled veteran and suffers from other medical conditions.
00:11:48 Our children are also struggling through this difficult time.
00:11:50 I'm not asking for a lot, but if you feel it in your heart's out,
00:11:53 please consider donating to support our family during this time of need.
00:11:55 If you're unable to help financially, we completely understand and simply ask that you keep us in your prayers.
00:12:02 Thank you for your love.
00:12:03 Now, Chud also has his own fundraiser, which has been around a bit longer.
00:12:07 And this was back when he lost his job, for which in this period of time, which I believe is going back six or seven months, he's raised $92,000.
00:12:15 Help Chud and his family.
00:12:17 Dear friends and supporters and champions of free speech, my name is Dalton Earthly.
00:12:20 And I'm reaching out with a heavy heart, fighting to protect my family and my business.
00:12:23 Just over one year ago, I started daily contracting in Clarksville out of sheer necessity.
00:12:28 I was fired from my previous contracting job after BLM activists targeted me over words
00:12:32 I shared online, jokes and opinions they twisted to end my career.
00:12:35 With no other way to support my family and my precious two-year-old son, I poured everything
00:12:39 into the small business, working tirelessly to provide for my family and build a future.
00:12:44 Which brings us to where we are right now.
00:12:47 I do want to highlight this real quick on the previous arrest that happened.
00:12:50 I believe this was last week.
00:12:51 Chud the Builder tweeted,
00:13:21 months of being attacked by our government for expressing the constitutional freedoms
00:13:24 our ancestors fought and died for.
00:13:27 Wake up, America.
00:13:27 It is not illegal for white people to say the same word they say to each other.
00:13:32 So let's talk about the bigger picture here. 0.56
00:13:35 And there's three big things.
00:13:37 Was he overcharged?
00:13:38 Does he have self-defense?
00:13:39 And what is going on in the grand scheme of social media where people are going around
00:13:45 and just engaging in the most extreme of behaviors?
00:13:49 Guys, I ain't playing any games.
00:13:51 I think this was an overcharge.
00:13:52 I will say I predicted this.
00:13:55 And I'm also going to cite Mike Tyson, who said people have gotten real comfortable with
00:13:59 talking smack without getting punched in the face.
00:14:02 There's a reality to you walking around and insulting people in increasingly aggressive
00:14:09 ways.
00:14:10 I've seen these videos.
00:14:11 I don't know if you guys have ever seen these videos where YouTubers will walk around and
00:14:16 intentionally use racial slurs against black people to get attention.
00:14:20 Many of these videos are fake.
00:14:22 There was one video, there's a ton of these videos, guys, but there's one instance, an
00:14:25 example.
00:14:26 A guy pretends like he's trying to break into a car. 0.89
00:14:30 Then the owner, who's black, runs up and pushes him down and punches him.
00:14:35 Probably a fake video. 0.94
00:14:36 There's a bunch of videos where white dudes walk in a black neighborhood and a guy goes,
00:14:40 what's up, my neighbor?
00:14:42 My neighbor. 0.96
00:14:43 And then the black guys go, what did you just say to me, dude? 0.96
00:14:46 You can't say that word. 0.98
00:14:47 Probably staged.
00:14:48 probably staged because everybody knows what my neighbor is and the idea is it sounds enough like
00:14:55 they might mishear you there's a bunch of these videos where the white dude walks up and he goes
00:15:00 oh man a nickel and he picks a nickel off the ground and they go hey man what did you just
00:15:06 say as if anything with near uh for the you know tony hinchcliffe had a joke where he said something
00:15:12 like what did what did he say they're they're acting like ninjas and then everyone like
00:15:17 chuckled or whatever because it was a Kevin Hart roast. So the point of this content, it's fake
00:15:22 racist shock. It's, it's, it's, it's meant to be like, oh, look, it's just crazy. People love
00:15:27 watching this stuff. With Chud the Builder, I think we've seen a handful of these personalities.
00:15:34 There was that woman, I can't remember her name was Shiloh something, where she called a kid the
00:15:39 N-word because he was, she claims he was rifling through her purse. I don't know if that was
00:15:42 adjudicated. We know what would actually happen, but that was the claim. And then everyone got
00:15:46 met at her, tried getting her fired. And then a bunch of white people were like, you know what,
00:15:49 we don't care anymore. And they gave her a bunch of money. Let me tell you something.
00:15:54 I think the double standard is miserably bad. The idea that like only white people can't insult 0.81
00:16:00 other people based on race. Now, don't get me wrong. Nobody should be insulting anybody based 0.54
00:16:05 on race. But I don't think you should get criminal charges for it. Hate crime laws are BS.
00:16:10 and y'all want to play games, this is what you get. 0.98
00:16:14 So in the event there is a black person 0.95
00:16:17 insulting a white person or an Asian person 0.81
00:16:19 or a Mexican person or anybody based on race, 0.59
00:16:22 don't be surprised when it's thrown back in your face.
00:16:24 You can't be the aggressor
00:16:26 and pretend to be the victim at the same time.
00:16:28 You can't be like, but look at the history of this country,
00:16:30 therefore I'm allowed and you're not.
00:16:32 Nah, I'm not doing that.
00:16:34 If we want to stop racism,
00:16:36 then people should stop attacking each other based on race.
00:16:38 So that means this idea that black people can go out and call people cracker or whatever
00:16:44 they want to call them, and I don't even get in trouble for saying cracker on social media. 0.91
00:16:49 Right.
00:16:49 A double standard, unacceptable.
00:16:52 We should have the same standard.
00:16:53 You want to play games?
00:16:54 Same standard for everybody.
00:16:57 Here's the thing about Chud the Builder.
00:16:59 I can't speak for this individual circumstance, which we'll get to in a second, but prior
00:17:04 behavior is going to play a role in these charges and what the juries see. I do not believe there is
00:17:12 a jury in this country, I swear, I don't care where you are, you could be deep south, that is
00:17:18 going to find him not guilty. First, let's talk about the overcharge. Attempted murder? Bro, even
00:17:26 if it was that he would, like, imagine a scenario. Chud walks out of the building and he sees a
00:17:32 random black guy, and then just walks up to him and starts screaming the N-word at him. 0.62
00:17:36 The dude then punches him and starts beating him. If that were the case, I don't know you'd 0.88
00:17:41 get attempted murder on that one. Like, starting a fight, shooting him. Attempted murder? I mean,
00:17:49 that's pretty wild. There's a heavy charge in that. Don't get me wrong. Like, you go up to
00:17:53 someone and do that, there's going to be charges. Now, as the story goes, an altercation started.
00:18:00 Having seen Chud's videos, he does walk up to groups of black guys and then start when
00:18:05 things get heated, like, why are you filming me?
00:18:07 He'll be like, you know, I'm allowed to film.
00:18:08 And then when people get angry, he starts calling them racial slurs.
00:18:12 That is going to be found by most juries.
00:18:15 But this one's different, not all, as provocation.
00:18:19 Provocation is any action or word that can reasonably be assumed that a reasonable person
00:18:24 would believe could lead to a violent altercation.
00:18:29 Provocation is not illegal, but it does reduce your ability to defend, which plays a role in
00:18:37 Chud the Builder's case. Now, again, I don't know about this individual case, but big picture.
00:18:42 First, I called this last night when we were talking about an IRA. I said, this dude's going
00:18:47 to get charged with the book. They're going to lock him up. Why? This BLM country, you probably
00:18:53 don't like it. Wokeness is being crushed and defeated, but take a look at Derek Chauvin. 1.00
00:18:57 They ran that guy through the coals.
00:19:00 The jurors were brought into the courthouse under armed guard with rifles from far left
00:19:05 extremists threatening to kill them.
00:19:07 The Kyle Rittenhouse case, I think it was a Rittenhouse case, a journalist stalked the
00:19:11 jurors in their bus.
00:19:12 They're supposed to be kept secret who they are so they can't be interfered with.
00:19:16 That's how insane it is.
00:19:17 So this guy, if Chud goes to trial, bro, I'm telling you, you're going to have a jury and
00:19:21 they're going to be like, I'm not going to be the dude that votes not guilty.
00:19:27 That's what I'm saying. So double standard in effect. Now, self-defense. He ain't got a
00:19:33 self-defense claim. I'm sorry, guys. I know people are going to get mad to hear. They're
00:19:37 going to be mad to hear that. There's going to be a lot of people claiming it was clearly
00:19:40 self-defense. Nope. I think if we're doing a bell curve here, what is the most, like the
00:19:47 Occam's razor situation? We know he live streams. We know that he accuses black people of chimping
00:19:53 out and calls him the N-word and things like this. That is viewed largely in most instances as a 0.83
00:19:58 provocation. It is. You might not like it. I'm not saying it should be that way. I'm saying that's
00:20:04 how it's perceived by most people and by the courts. In which case, you can defend yourself,
00:20:10 but it's going to reduce what is considered to be proportional or reasonable in these circumstances.
00:20:15 Let's say that Chud the Builder walks out of the courtroom live streaming. This guy recognizes him
00:20:20 and says, don't you dare say it. I'm not going to let you speak out. Then we get to that Mike
00:20:26 Tyson situation where, as he said, people feel comfortable talking smack without getting punched
00:20:31 in the face. So let's say he does say he's chimping out and causing the N-word. So the guy
00:20:36 hits him. Let's say that Chud hits him back. Nothing happens. That's it. Probably nobody 1.00
00:20:43 gets charged. They're going to say, listen, if somebody's insulting you and throwing slurs around,
00:20:48 they have a free speech, a First Amendment right to do that. That is correct. He's allowed to say
00:20:53 these things in public. You can't attack him for it. However, a reasonable person would conclude
00:20:59 if you walk up to a black guy or just generally in the presence of a black person, accuse them
00:21:06 of chimping out and call them a racial slur, there is a decent probability that will antagonize to 0.80
00:21:11 the point where they will attack you. Now, again, let's go through levels. Chud walks out. He's 0.99
00:21:17 filming. He stands there and says, you know, don't chimp out, you know, and whatever. The guy then 0.97
00:21:22 hits him. Chud does nothing. The police would arrest the black guy and say, listen, you can't
00:21:28 attack people because they insult you. That's correct in law. Let's say Chud punches the guy 0.99
00:21:34 back and shoves him off. Probably nobody gets arrested, but they still might arrest the guy
00:21:38 who started the fight. When you pull out a gun at that point and shoot the person, my expectation
00:21:45 under the law and what is considered reasonable is that at that point, you have you have a
00:21:49 circumstance to consider. 0.99
00:21:50 A reasonable person would conclude accusing a black man of chimping out and calling him
00:21:55 a slur is could potentially not always potentially result in violence.
00:21:59 You have brought a gun into the circumstance where you created a conflict.
00:22:04 You cannot use lethal force against a person when you create the conflict.
00:22:11 Now, I know a lot of people are going to say, how does this how is that fair?
00:22:13 he didn't throw the punch. It's proportionality. The argument in court is going to be that a
00:22:21 reasonable person would conclude you will make someone angry enough to attack you to have a gun
00:22:28 on your person and use it. They will then imply not in every case, but it's reasonable again to
00:22:35 conclude this could escalate to a lethal confrontation. Thus, you entered into a
00:22:42 circumstance where a reasonable person would conclude your actions would result in violence,
00:22:46 but you were armed with lethal force and prepared to use it. That doesn't mean attempted murder,
00:22:52 which is why I think attempted murder is an overcharge, but they'll probably get them on it
00:22:55 because we live in social justice territory, right? But my point is, if they charged him with
00:23:02 like aggravated assault or something, I'd be like, well, again, guys, you may not like this,
00:23:08 how the law plays out, but it's basically a plus B equals C. Do you think walking up to somebody
00:23:14 insulting them will get you punched in the face? Mike Tyson said it and everybody agreed. It used
00:23:19 to be that you walk up to a guy, you insult them, you got hit and the cops didn't do anything about
00:23:22 it. You bring a gun with you up to a guy where you insult him in such a way that is considered
00:23:28 to be particularly offensive. And then when he swings on you, you shoot him. You cannot create 0.99
00:23:34 the circumstances by which you must then defend yourself. Stressing again, you're allowed to
00:23:41 insult people and you are allowed to call them whatever you want, and they are not allowed to
00:23:44 hit you for it. But if you know it can result in you getting hit and that you'd have to then use a
00:23:51 gun, they're not going to let you claim self-defense. So there are certain circumstances
00:23:57 where this could play out. Now, I think what may help or hurt to go either way is that he live
00:24:01 stream this. And I think actually I have I might have the do I not have the live stream pulled up?
00:24:06 I thought I did have it pulled up. Oh, no, I didn't. There's actually a recording. And this
00:24:14 is the quote that I read already when he's like, the guy said, you start saying all that chimp 0.99
00:24:19 out ish to me and I'm gonna hit you. And then he hit me. Well, he live streamed it all. And for 0.98
00:24:25 anybody who's who's looked at Chud's content, watched his videos. I'm sorry, I'm gonna tell
00:24:32 you this. I think it is extremely likely that what happens is any jury is going to be dealing
00:24:38 with a handful of things. One, nobody wants to be the guy to defend Chud. Sorry, if it were me,
00:24:44 I don't care. I'd assess the facts as the facts are. I don't think attempted murder makes sense.
00:24:50 Chud was not trying to kill this guy. I just don't think that makes sense. I think Chud was
00:24:56 defending himself, but I don't think he has a total self-defense claim, but I also don't think
00:25:03 it warrants attempted murder. I think there is some criminal culpability here. I do not respect,
00:25:11 listen, I'm gonna say it like this. If Chud is minding his own business walking down the street
00:25:16 and he gets called a cracker
00:25:18 and he responds to the N-word.
00:25:20 You see, that's how social media works.
00:25:21 You can't even say the two, right?
00:25:24 Then I'm going to be like,
00:25:25 yeah, well, you know,
00:25:26 I ain't playing these games.
00:25:27 It's not 1950, dude.
00:25:29 It's 2026.
00:25:30 The world is different.
00:25:32 You don't need to be insulting people
00:25:33 based on race.
00:25:33 I don't care what your race is.
00:25:35 If he's responding to someone 0.62
00:25:37 and he's minding his own business,
00:25:39 well, then try more. 0.80
00:25:42 If Chud is going up to people 1.00
00:25:44 who are black 1.00
00:25:45 and creating these circumstances, which become antagonistic, I'm not a fan of that. 0.98
00:25:53 I'm generally not a fan of Chud walking up and just throwing racial slurs at people.
00:25:58 But I'll say it again, nobody should be doing that. 0.99
00:26:00 So that's why I make the point.
00:26:01 If they throw a slur at him first and he throws it back, you know, you reap what you sow, right?
00:26:07 I think what's going to play out is the court.
00:26:10 I wonder what happens.
00:26:11 Actually, typically, in most cases, a plea deal.
00:26:15 Maybe the prosecution says we're going to like, bro, let me just stress this, OK?
00:26:20 Dude, if you go to you go to trial on this one for attempted murder, they're locking you up for 10 years.
00:26:26 10 years, bro.
00:26:27 But do you really think any jury is going to be like not guilty?
00:26:32 I don't I'm sorry.
00:26:33 The prosecution is going to pull up all of his past live streams.
00:26:36 They are going to make the argument that Chud creates these circumstances knowing full well.
00:26:41 First question, Mr. Chud, Mr. Earthly, have you ever been attacked while live streaming before?
00:26:48 Yes.
00:26:50 I'd like you to turn to our piece of evidence, you know, 113 here, a video clip from his live
00:26:55 stream showing him being physically attacked.
00:26:58 What would you say the reason is for you being attacked?
00:27:02 And then, you know, maybe he gives an answer.
00:27:04 Maybe he doesn't testify, but they'll show the evidence.
00:27:06 In this video, you referred to a man with a racial slur, and he responded by hitting your hat or taking a swing at you.
00:27:14 Is it reasonable to believe that doing this could result in someone getting violent towards you?
00:27:19 With respect to the fact that you can't hit someone for insulting you.
00:27:23 We all agree you can't, but people probably would.
00:27:26 Or at least they would likely. 0.95
00:27:28 And this has happened to Chud in the past. 0.99
00:27:30 Okay.
00:27:31 You brought a gun.
00:27:32 Then a circumstance arose where you knew violence has occurred in the past.
00:27:39 Prosecution is going to say, listen, gentlemen, this guy has a history of engaging in these kind of instigation, these kind of conflicts.
00:27:45 This clearly falls under Tennessee's exception provocation.
00:27:50 You cannot claim self-defense if you used words or took physical action that a reasonable person would believe would result in violence.
00:27:59 so again by all means say it's shocking that people believe insulting someone you know with
00:28:07 with a racial assault would result in violence it shouldn't be that way agree but everyone agrees
00:28:10 it would so i think that he'll likely get a plea deal they'll say we're going to drop it down to
00:28:16 something like an aggravated assault maybe you'll get a probation charge the challenge here is blm
00:28:21 country i don't think whereas in pronounced a social media era woke era where it's going to
00:28:28 be rides in the street or anything like that. I think both, you know, people are going to raise
00:28:32 a bunch of money for each other. And I think ultimately takes a plea deal, loses the right
00:28:36 to keep him bare arms. They're going to, they're going to say, you know, felony plea deal. Maybe
00:28:39 he gets probation. Maybe he gets a year or something. And then I wonder if they put other
00:28:46 restrictions on him with probation. They're gonna be like, don't go around streaming and don't go
00:28:50 around doing this stuff. Look, already a lot of people are not defending this guy. They're
00:28:54 pointing out that you walk around saying these things. Those are fighting words. It's just they're
00:29:00 fighting words. Now, don't get me wrong. He's going to tell you that throwing cracker at him
00:29:04 is a fight in words, too. I don't disagree. I don't disagree. The issue is bringing a gun.
00:29:09 He's maced people before. They get in a space. They attack him for speaking. He maced them.
00:29:14 You're that you're not going to get charged for that. Listen, you walk down the street and you
00:29:18 call someone a slur and they punch you. So you pepper spray him. You ain't getting charged.
00:29:21 you shoot them different story but i guess the question is for all of you guys i don't know i i
00:29:30 could talk on this subject for 20 years i guess you know where do you think we're going with all
00:29:34 this and what do you think should or or will happen again i'll stress this last night i said
00:29:38 he's gonna get the book thrown at him because of the country the state of our culture ain't nobody's
