Recently, Donald Trump appeared in the Dan Bongino show and said that the GOP should
00:00:04.440
nationalize the election or elections, basically saying we should take them over and control
00:00:10.280
them from the federal level. Democrats, of course, are freaking out over the statement
00:00:13.760
and Trump has previously said maybe we shouldn't even have a midterm, which he can't functionally
00:00:19.540
or constitutionally end. And they said they were joking, but Democrats aren't taking it
00:00:23.760
like a joke. Of course, we've had Republicans and Democrats both say this is civil war,
00:00:29.200
as well as high profile, prominent billionaires saying, guys, it's happening. Now, you know,
00:00:35.300
I've been the guy who talked about civil war for quite some time, and I don't know exactly whether
00:00:38.400
or not we're in one. I don't know that anyone can actually say for sure, but many people are.
00:00:43.480
Before we get into all of these details, I want you to just watch this video from Ford Fisher out
00:00:49.860
of Minnesota. Then you comment below and tell me where you think we are right now in this country.
00:00:56.400
In this video, I'll set it up for you guys. I know some of you are just listening,
00:00:59.200
not watching. Armed ICE agents pointing their handguns at a vehicle with drivers and pulling
00:01:05.120
them out again at gunpoint. I am not suggesting right or wrongdoing in either party, just explaining
00:01:11.860
what we're seeing here. These individuals were identified as anti-ICE observers. I don't think
00:01:17.480
it's a fair assessment considering we have, by any reasonable metric, an active insurgency at bare
00:01:24.240
minimum in Minnesota. Before we get into everything in the political space, just watch this video.
00:01:29.660
Let's play it. I'll narrate a bit for those that are just listening. There's a photographer.
00:01:35.580
There's one agent holding a gun pointed at the driver. Another agent holding a gun pointed at the
00:01:43.940
passenger side as they are pulling these individuals out of the vehicle. The people in the vehicles are
00:01:49.260
masked up. Get the F back. And these are identified again as anti-ICE observers. I don't think that's a
00:01:58.860
fair or reasonable journalistic interpretation of what these people actually are. The question is,
00:02:05.180
watching videos like this, what can we understand from it? I'm sure if you are on the right,
00:02:13.400
you think it's justified. These people are insurgents. They are playing dangerous games
00:02:18.380
of subterfuge and manipulation. On the left, this is overreach and a violation of the first
00:02:24.280
amendment. But you know what, my friends? I would argue that none of that actually matters.
00:02:31.120
The moralizing, the propagandizing is completely immaterial to what we're actually seeing. For the
00:02:37.320
most part, you can sit here and tell me why or why not it was justified. And that's fine. That was
00:02:43.240
always allowed. But the reality is we have two distinct moral worldviews in this country,
00:02:47.180
as I have explained, with many people suggesting that Donald Trump would be totally justified
00:02:51.320
in taking over under federal management, these areas that are an active rebellion against the
00:02:56.700
federal government. Well, the left argues that Trump is a fascist who is taking over and they don't
00:03:01.480
need to abide by his laws. We have an interesting story, which gives us a granular piece of what is
00:03:08.860
actually going on. TPS, temporary protective status, is set to expire for Haitian migrants.
00:03:15.620
That's it. It's going to expire. Well, a judge has ruled it can't. That's not democracy. The
00:03:22.740
American people voted for immigration enforcement and it's just expiring. It's not like Trump came
00:03:26.840
in with a boot and said, we're kicking everybody out. Trump's administration said, we're just not
00:03:31.140
going to extend this. And a court ordered the president and the executive branch to extend something.
00:03:36.860
They don't have the authority. So my friends, while you may say Trump is certainly acting out of
00:03:43.780
bounds, the liberals would say that, and conservatives would say the left is, it's fair to say that
00:03:48.920
these judges actually are. And when you look at the data coming out of Minnesota, I'm going to say
00:03:54.600
this. I'm going to say it, my friends. The nature of this reality is that Donald Trump has always
00:04:00.600
been relatively weak. He has been. He's done some pretty strong things. Don't get me wrong.
00:04:06.160
But the machine state has always been stronger. The idea that a judge can force the executive branch
00:04:12.460
to extend migration protections. They have no authority in this area. And what does Trump do?
00:04:20.320
He petitions another court. None of this makes sense, but I can tell you that the rule of law is
00:04:27.900
being ripped apart or I should say democracy by liberal institutions and this liberal moral worldview
00:04:35.460
with some pointing out that this judge who issued this ruling is not even from this country. Now,
00:04:41.600
again, you may say, Tim, who cares? What does that matter? The liberals might argue. That's fine.
00:04:45.240
I'm telling you the right is going to push back saying we can't have people born in other countries
00:04:50.180
come here and then mandate non-citizens be allowed temporary protected status extensions
00:04:55.120
when the president hasn't authorized it. Now, I want to read for you this story from the New York
00:05:00.300
Times about Trump calling for the nationalization of elections as well as currently happening with
00:05:04.460
this insurgency. Before we do, my friends, as we always do with our post-apocalyptic dystopia,

00:06:15.000
New York Times. Trump in an escalation calls for Republicans to nationalize elections. The comments
00:06:21.080
made on a conservative podcast follow a string of moves from his administration to try to exert
00:06:26.340
more control over American elections. Now, Trump has made comments before, and some people say he's
00:06:33.340
just joking, while others say these are trial balloons. When Trump comes out and says we should
00:06:38.640
nationalize the election, if someone then says that's overreach, you can't do that, he can say,
00:06:44.160
I was just joking around, as he said with not having midterm elections. Now, he may just be
00:06:50.200
joking around. I can't read his mind, but therein lies the bifurcation and worldview. The left says
00:06:55.300
he's launching trial balloons. The right says he's goofing off. The New York Times reports,
00:07:00.580
President Trump called in a new interview for the Republican Party to nationalize voting in the
00:07:04.440
United States, an aggressive rhetorical step that was likely to raise new worries about his
00:07:09.200
administration's efforts to involve itself in election matters. During an extended monologue
00:07:13.900
about immigration on a podcast released on Monday by Dan Bongino, let me just pause real quick. It was
00:07:18.900
a live show, guys. His former deputy FBI director, Trump called for Republican officials to take over
00:07:25.180
voting procedures in 15 states, though he didn't name them. The Republicans should say we want to take
00:07:31.300
over. We should take over the voting. The voting in at least many, 15 places, the Republicans ought to
00:07:37.360
nationalize the voting. Under the Constitution, American elections are governed primarily by state
00:07:41.580
law, leading to a decentralized process in which voting is administered by county and municipal
00:07:46.160
officials in thousands of precincts across the country. Mr. Trump, however, has long been fixated
00:07:50.820
on the false claims these elections are rife with fraud and that Democrats are perpetrating a vast
00:07:54.760
conspiracy to have undocumented immigrants vote and lift the party's turnout. Now, if the New York Times
00:07:59.580
were honest actors, they can tell you the truth for which I can tell you right now. You see, the issue
00:08:06.260
is not that illegal immigrants are voting, though Trump and others may say that because they don't
00:08:10.520
genuinely understand what is actually happening. Well, over the past few years, many people have
00:08:15.180
gotten wise to the fact that illegal immigrants are counted in the census, which gives Democrat
00:08:21.740
sanctuary jurisdictions bonus congressional seats and electoral college votes. As most of you know,
00:08:28.100
individuals don't vote for the president. You vote for electors. The electors then vote for the
00:08:32.320
president. So what happens if California has a million undocumented immigrants? See, I'm being
00:08:37.040
nice. I call them undocumented. They're going to get an extra congressional seat and vote in the
00:08:43.380
electoral college, which means it doesn't matter if the individual illegal immigrant actually goes to
00:08:48.720
vote, which sometimes it happens. Sure. All that matters is at the state level, they've taken that power.
00:08:54.560
And that's something important that should be discussed. Now, on top of that, as they bring
00:09:00.040
up that it's a decentralized process where the localities have their votes, let me explain something
00:09:04.600
to you guys. Texas v. Pennsylvania, which never got answered because our Supreme Court, it's a bunch
00:09:10.420
of pathetic cowards, save Alito and Thomas, refused to answer the question if state judiciaries and
00:09:18.180
executives have the authority under the Constitution to unilaterally change the election in these states.
00:09:23.640
The answer is they don't. The Constitution affords that to state legislatures, and they did not change
00:09:29.840
these rules in 2020. The judges and the governors did, and that effectively tainted the results, not through
00:09:36.560
fraud, but through unconstitutional amendments, I suppose, by unilateral authorities or judges outside the
00:09:45.860
legislative branch of those states. So you want to call it decentralized. Well, it's your fault, Democrats,
00:09:53.240
Democrats that were in this position, and I warned this would literally happen. Not because I'm a
00:09:58.340
psychic, because it's patently obvious. If you allow states to violate the Constitution, you end up here.
00:10:05.260
The New York Times goes on. Mr. Trump's remarkable call for a political party to seize the mechanisms
00:10:10.240
of voting following a string of moves from his administration to try to exert more control over
00:10:14.180
American elections as he and his allies continue to make false claims about 2020. Last week, FBI agents
00:10:19.460
seized ballots and other voting records from the 2020 election in Fulton County, Georgia, whereas allies
00:10:24.360
have for years pursued false claims of election fraud. The New York Times reported on Monday that
00:10:29.400
Mr. Trump had spoken on the phone to FBI agents involved in the Fulton County raid, praising and
00:10:33.920
thanking them. The Justice Department, which has been newly politicized under Mr. Trump, is demanding
00:10:38.740
that numerous states, including Minnesota, turn over their full voter rolls as the Trump administration
00:10:43.520
tries to build a national voter file. In March, Mr. Trump signed an executive order that tried to
00:10:48.360
make significant changes to the electoral process, including requiring documentary proof of citizenship
00:10:53.200
and demanding that all mail ballots be received by the time the polls close on election day. But that
00:10:59.480
effort has largely been rebuffed by courts. On social media, Mr. Trump has pushed for even more drastic
00:11:04.740
changes in August. He wrote that he wanted to end the use of mail-in ballots and potentially the use of
00:11:10.080
voting machines. The president's claims of election fraud have been debunked over and over, both by
00:11:14.060
independent reviews and Republican officials. A review of the 2024 election by the Trump admin that
00:11:18.020
began last year had found little evidence of widespread voting fraud by non-citizens as of last
00:11:23.040
month. Now, let me just point something out that's very fascinating. It doesn't matter what side of the
00:11:27.320
aisle you're on. They say Trump has pushed for even more drastic changes, ending mail-in ballots
00:11:34.160
and potentially the use of voting machines. Universal mail-in ballots are new since the COVID era. That was the
00:11:42.920
problem in Pennsylvania, the crux of the lawsuit. They wanted universal mail-in votes in violation of their own
00:11:50.160
state constitution. They never amended their constitution nor followed their own laws to make this happen. So to call it a
00:11:58.500
drastic change now, shows you the extent they are willing to go. I'm not going to cut Trump any slack
00:12:04.940
on saying nationalize the election, but I'm at least going to tell you why. Both sides are making moves
00:12:09.860
they feel are justified. The left's argument, in my opinion, is founded largely in hyperbole and partisan
00:12:16.420
ideology that Trump is a fascist and an existential threat, justifying their use of force to go after his
00:12:21.920
lawyers, which is insane. Trump, on the other hand, is arguing that what Democrats have done warrants the
00:12:27.980
nationalization. You choose. I'm not going to tell you which side to be on. You know where I stand. From CNN, here's
00:12:35.680
where it gets fun. No, Trump can't cancel the midterms. He's doing this instead. Oh yeah, what's he doing? Well,
00:12:42.860
they're not telling you what he's doing. They're basically just saying he's joking about ending the elections or
00:12:49.740
unconstitutional third terms or whatever. This is largely CNN's waste of time article that doesn't
00:12:54.640
actually address anything. The point is the conversation is here. Democrats and Republicans
00:12:59.740
are escalating the rhetoric and it's come to this point. Presidents do not have the power to delay or
00:13:05.160
cancel. Okay, let's talk about that. Do they? Does the president have the power to say exclude certain
00:13:12.920
states from an election to arrest members of Congress or journalists? The answer is yes, they
00:13:19.620
do. And you have none other than Abraham Lincoln to thank for this. Now, of course, I love this. You go
00:13:26.400
and ask any liberal and they'll say, no, absolutely not. They'll praise Abraham Lincoln in the same breath.
00:13:32.160
I asked Grok quite a bit and he kept saying, no, the president can't. And then I said, cut the ish.
00:13:38.000
Tell me about Abraham Lincoln. And it was like, well, you see what Abraham Lincoln did was a whole
00:13:43.860
bunch of illegal stuff that he then retroactively got approved by Congress after he threatened to
00:13:48.820
put them all in prison. I'm being hyperbolic, to be honest. He didn't go to Congress, I'm going to
00:13:54.080
lock you all up, but he basically said, I can put down the boot wherever and whenever I want.
00:13:58.820
So approve it. And they said, okay, we will. Now, was that legal? Was that how our system was
00:14:05.060
supposed to work? Take a look at this from Kalshi. I love this one. Which party will win the U.S.
00:14:12.980
House of Representatives? Right now, it's looking like the Democrats. That's the prediction. And what
00:14:17.980
do you think these Democrats are going to do once they actually get in? Well, they've arrested Trump
00:14:23.000
several times. They've arrested his lawyers. They've accused tons of conservatives of impropriety.
00:14:27.180
They put Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro in jail. Do you think they're going to stop? And do you
00:14:32.740
think Donald Trump will let them just win? Well, there's the question of political willpower.
00:14:38.540
Abraham Lincoln had it to an absurd degree. Let's just be honest. Donald Trump knows that should
00:14:44.040
he lose the midterms, he's cooked. And right now it's not looking good. Republican turnout in one
00:14:49.540
of the latest elections was gone. Take a look at this from Newsweek. Republicans did not show up in
00:14:55.680
Texas election won by Democrats. We already saw what happened in Virginia. In Virginia, within a week,
00:15:01.260
they're passing laws to make sure no Republican ever wins again. And the redistricting war that's
00:15:06.820
happening between states is effectively making it so that there will be no swing districts.
00:15:11.140
All it will be in Congress is state versus state, population versus population, boiling down to which
00:15:18.240
side has more people under their belts, Republicans or Democrats. And I hope you understand what that
00:15:24.960
means. Again, Democrat majority states are re re are gerrymandering redistricting to eliminate any
00:15:32.840
Republican seat, Republican seats doing the same. This means that in the next congressional
00:15:39.160
apportionment, whichever side has more population in their states will own Congress, not by argument,
00:15:46.580
but by mass. And what happens then when you have 25 states that are Democrat leaning in 25 states,
00:15:54.200
Republican leaning, and only one of those states has a say in Congress, I doubt the weak side,
00:16:00.640
be it Republican or Democrat, is going to blindly just accept this is their new reality.
00:16:05.820
So I asked my good friend Grok here several questions about the powers a president has.
00:16:13.500
What can he actively do? And I'll start to show the first question. Is there any circumstance where
00:16:17.980
he was president could postpone or cancel an election? No, there is no circumstance where your
00:16:23.160
president has a unilateral authority to postpone. And then I said, even in nuclear war, yep,
00:16:27.360
even in nuclear war, I said, what about national security presidential directive 51? Nope,
00:16:31.320
not even then. I said, okay, propose a scenario of the president with or without authority could do
00:16:35.960
it. There is no lawful scenario, it says. And I said, what if a civil war to break out? No,
00:16:41.540
not even in a civil war. I said, yes, but the civil war excluded rebelling states. And let's go
00:16:46.200
to the finale, the grand finale, my friends. I said, Lincoln did a ton of illegal stuff.
00:16:54.360
So I said, okay, let's start over and you can stop pretending that humans run on binary code.
00:17:00.400
We know Lincoln ignored the constitution. So Trump could as well. Then after he wins,
00:17:04.540
Congress can retroactively claim he was just indeed. You see, the point is the AI says, no,
00:17:10.400
the constitution, the laws, they don't allow it. When has it ever stopped? Men of consequence.
00:17:17.020
Fair point, Tim, politics ain't a clean binary system. It's messy driven by power crisis and
00:17:21.340
what people institutions will stomach. Lincoln absolutely pushed and arguably broke constitutional
00:17:25.400
limits. Arguably? Suspending habeas corpus is not a power the president has. Now he does because
00:17:31.120
Abraham Lincoln set precedent. Habeas corpus suspension. Listen to this. Right after Fort Sumter in
00:17:38.780
1861, Lincoln unilaterally suspended the writ of habeas corpus along key routes to detain suspected
00:17:42.960
rebels without trial. This led to thousands of arrests, including civilians. Chief Justice
00:17:47.140
Taney ruled it unconstitutional in ex parte merriment, 1861, saying only Congress could suspend it under
00:17:53.000
article one, section nine. Lincoln basically ignored Taney, kept doing it and expanded it nationwide.
00:17:58.280
In his July 4th, 1861 message to Congress, he defended it and sort of asked for retroactive
00:18:03.040
approval. Quote, are all the laws but one to go unexecuted and the government itself to go to
00:18:09.420
pieces lest that one be violated. Congress obliged with the habeas corpus suspension act of 1863,
00:18:16.060
which not only authorized future suspensions, but indemnified, indemnified, protected from lawsuits,
00:18:21.780
Lincoln and his team from past ones. It was a classic ask forgiveness, not permission play. And it worked
00:18:27.520
because Congress was on board amid the war. And it was because Confederate States were no longer active
00:18:33.960
functionally in Congress. So of course they were going to say, Lincoln, do whatever you want to
00:18:39.680
shut down the Confederacy. And they approved it two years after the war had already begun.
00:18:45.700
And there's the interesting question. It's fascinating. Are all laws but one to go unexecuted
00:18:52.140
and the government itself to go to pieces, lest that one be violated? What an amazing argument.
00:18:57.440
Trump could certainly argue the same thing. We have an active insurgency in Minnesota.
00:19:01.640
Should every law that we have codified through Congress go unenforced because you're upset that
00:19:09.560
I would dare violate a single one? What an argument. Lincoln made it, not Trump. Lincoln made the
00:19:17.280
arguments. Well, Trump did say one who saves his country violates no laws, which I believe was a
00:19:22.580
Napoleon quote or asserted to be. The argument is this. If in Minnesota, we see the federal authority
00:19:28.720
falling apart, is it better that the president violate one law to save the union and protect federal
00:19:38.060
authority or to let federal authority collapse completely? It's interesting, right? The president
00:19:43.920
can't enforce federal law right now because the left is in insurgency. Should he then say, I'm going
00:19:49.420
in and shutting them down? No, you can't. That's illegal. Well, everything they're doing is illegal all
00:19:53.420
the same. Other overreaches. Lincoln called up 75,000 troops and spent unappropriated treasury funds
00:19:59.720
without Congress in session, violating article one's war powers. He imposed martial law in parts
00:20:04.980
of loyal states, shut down disloyal newspapers, and used military trials for civilians. Congress later ratified
00:20:11.080
most of this in 1861 to 1863 sessions, essentially saying, cool, we'll backdate the authority.
00:20:16.760
The Supreme Court upheld some, but struck down others post-war. Lincoln's logic, in a rebellion,
00:20:22.380
the president as commander in chief has implied powers to act fast when Congress can't convene.
00:20:26.580
He won the war, so history mostly forgave him. Though Democrats called him a tyrant,
00:20:31.080
and it fueled reconstruction debates in which a man cried out, sick, semper, tyrannous, and blasted him.
00:20:37.800
Because he violated the constitution and justified it. I'm not saying there's justification. I don't
00:20:46.260
know. What I can tell you is this. This is from stars.us. Military intelligence officers warn
00:20:55.460
Minneapolis is an organized insurgency. The Soro Pyramid, special operations research office,
00:21:02.560
special warfare center, and school Fort Bragg. Eric Schwalm, retired Green Beret, writes,
00:21:09.720
is a former special forces warrant officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops,
00:21:13.160
both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from synthetic populations. I've seen organized
00:21:16.460
resistance up close. From on bar to Hellman, the pattern is familiar. Spotters, cutouts, dead drops,
00:21:22.300
disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the
00:21:26.380
stronger force slowly. What's unfolding in Minneapolis right now is in a protest. It's a low-level
00:21:31.080
insurgency infrastructure built by people who've clearly studied the playbook. Signal groups at
00:21:36.820
1,000 member cap per zone, dedicated roles, mobile chasers, plate checkers, logging vehicle data,
00:21:41.600
salute-style reporting, daily chat rotations, vetting process for new joiners, mutual aid from
00:21:46.120
synthetic locals, home-based coordination points, rapid escalation. I think I got some videos for you.
00:21:51.840
How about this one? This is from Wall Street Apes. A Minnesota resident was trying to go get to a new
00:21:58.960
burger joint. They were stopped by insurgent border patrol. I have no other means of describing what
00:22:05.280
this is. Oh, well, that I don't know. Can I drive? I got a red light.
00:22:17.440
So now we need permission to drive from these people? Yep.
00:22:22.440
Can you back up slightly and go right? Yeah, I could. If you'll leave, I'll go right.
00:22:27.160
Cleared. We ran your plates. Thank you. Now they're letting them through. Thank you. He says,
00:22:34.200
thank you. This is how you get oppression. No one is stopping these people.
00:22:40.000
Sooner or later, people will begin to recognize that they bow to them and not the police. The
00:22:43.900
monopoly on force dictates. So let me say it like this. If you are in Minnesota, you don't fear the
00:22:49.040
police. People are committing crimes and getting away with it. Prisoners, criminals, they're being
00:22:53.280
released from these jails across the country. Along comes this de facto authority blocking roadways
00:22:58.220
and threatening you with violence for which they will not be prosecuted. Who do you fear?
00:23:02.000
This regular person driving their car to a burger joint said, thank you.
00:23:06.160
Because that's the true authority now and they know it. Choose your battles, they say in their mind,
00:23:10.140
and they've chosen not to engage in this one. How much longer until these people have uniforms?
00:23:14.440
They're already wearing vests. How much longer until they set up new checkpoints? How much longer until
00:23:18.960
the government basically bends the knee? This is how all insurgencies and civil wars go.
00:23:26.180
A new partisan group, it's like the Nazis, not to cite Godwin's law, but it is.
00:23:30.640
A partisan group takes up arms, gets violent, and eventually the local government says,
00:23:34.540
you're in charge. And then a political party becomes government. And that's what we're watching
00:23:39.120
happen right here. How about this one? North Central High School in Indianapolis staged an ice
00:23:43.800
walkout. Here you go. Watch this. The stupid music. It's not really a walkout. It's just people
00:23:53.840
saying, I ain't going to school. And they're running around jumping on vehicles. There's so
00:23:58.400
much more that's been happening. The smashing of windows. Olivia loves a challenge. It's why she
00:24:05.340
lifts heavy weights. And likes complicated recipes. But for booking her trip to Paris,
00:24:12.480
Olivia chose the easy way with Expedia. She bundled her flight with a hotel to save more.
00:24:17.380
Of course, she still climbed all 674 steps to the top of the Eiffel Tower. You were made to take the
00:24:24.320
easy route. We were made to easily package your trip. Expedia. Made to travel.
00:24:30.000
Just the recklessness. Now here's where it's interesting.
00:24:37.860
Polls deliver clear verdict. Americans back Trump's deportation agenda and reject anti-ice
00:24:42.960
politics. We got this one, Clay Travis. 83% of Americans favor requiring voter IDs.
00:24:49.580
The American people are with Nicki Minaj, because what are we talking about here? So take a look here,
00:24:54.760
favor voter ID to vote. Look, I got all this polling on the screen going back since 2018.
00:24:58.900
You'll notice on all of it, it's all north of 75%, 76%, 76%, 76%, 76%, 81%. And then 83% in the last year
00:25:09.620
of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj. They favor photo ID to be able to vote. What about by party? What's
00:25:16.860
the party break? Yeah, normally you might expect, hey, there'd be a big divide by party, but Republicans
00:25:21.860
really for it and Democrats really against it. But not really here. I mean, just take a look here,
00:25:26.120
favor photo ID to vote. You got 95% of Republicans, pretty much all of them, but even 71% of Democrats
00:25:33.300
favor photo ID to vote. So again, Nicki Minaj posting that on X. And what you see is, is that
00:25:39.360
the American people actually, it's not really all that controversial. The American people are with
00:25:43.700
Nicki Minaj, whether they are Republican or even if they are Democrats, we're talking about seven in
00:25:48.960
10 Democrats agreeing with Nicki Minaj that you in fact should show a voter photo ID to vote.
00:25:54.640
Maybe saying Tim, that sounds like a good thing. I mean, it sounds here like Democrats and Republicans
00:26:00.800
agree on securing our elections. I bring that up. Sure, we can assess it as such. But this video right
00:26:08.340
here, I think then rebuffs. You see, the reality is that even if you're a Democrat, even if you're a
00:26:14.140
moderate, whatever you might vote, when it comes time to stare down a crowd of people masked up and
00:26:19.200
with weapons, people just say, leave me alone. And that can be the far left insurgents. And that
00:26:25.520
could be ICE. As I showed you from the first video, the ICE agents come with guns pointed at these
00:26:30.140
individuals. You have conflict. Let me just make sure you recognize what that video was and why I
00:26:36.840
wanted to show you. Uniformed ICE agents with guns detaining anti-ICE insurgents. It's not you.
00:26:44.500
It's not a regular American. It's partisan groups fighting the federal government and the federal
00:26:49.100
government taking action. These are not observers. These are partisans. This is partisan conflict.
00:26:55.320
I believe that it is very likely we will see more. Now, the one thing I can say is Republicans
00:27:02.180
apparently are raking it in, generating lots in revenue right before the midterms are about to
00:27:07.040
come. That's that. Tom Cruise leaving London is indicative of the left, but that's for a later
00:27:13.740
segment. But we do have all that pulled up. This is where I was bringing those together. I wasn't
00:27:21.320
actually, you know, I'll just let you guys know. The Tom Cruise stuff was maybe I was going to attach
00:27:24.720
to the end of this. It is London. That's why. But it's because I bring up this. This is a story
00:27:29.520
from August 25th. Congress is investigating allegations that DC police manipulated crime
00:27:33.840
data. And this is where it all comes to a head. What we've seen is that Democrats have been
00:27:40.340
releasing criminals. Regular people believe the police won't come and help you. And even if someone
00:27:46.360
is arrested, they'll be released right away. So what is happening? The government's monopoly on
00:27:51.540
violence is being ripped to shreds intentionally by Democrat politicians. Cops complain they can't
00:27:56.520
actually arrest anybody. CBP complains. They can't actually arrest these illegal immigrants.
00:28:01.900
Even today, they still complain quite a bit. So what happens when the irregular American
00:28:07.340
recognizes the police will do nothing. Then they walked on the street and see Antifa. They say,
00:28:12.560
I know who threatens me and the police will do nothing. In fact, the police will likely protect the
00:28:18.600
far left extremists, but the extremists will kill you on the spot. They'll bash your car up and no one
00:28:24.800
will do anything about it. So I envisioned a couple of different scenarios watching all of this
00:28:29.440
with this sooner or later, someone says no. And then what happens when a guy shows up and he says,
00:28:37.240
get the F out of my way. And they say, no. And what happens when that man is armed
00:28:43.300
sooner or later, someone says no. What happens if someone just plows through their blockade and
00:28:49.840
just shatters to pieces, hitting people? I don't think, I don't think we're heading in a good place
00:28:58.240
because let me say it like this. We're already at the point where six years ago, the left were
00:29:05.100
blocking vehicles and then people would speed through hitting some of these people, not running
00:29:09.640
them over anything, but they hit them out of the way. And you'd hear the left then say, arrest them
00:29:13.480
for a hit and run. And it started to happen. People would get charged. And then laws got passed in
00:29:18.260
some of these red states saying, if you intentionally block a roadway and surround a vehicle,
00:29:22.260
they can flee and they are not responsible for what happens to you. And so now we've seen many
00:29:27.240
of these far leftists get hit by cars and the drivers have not been charged. There's one video
00:29:31.780
where a driver's at a school and someone jumps in front of an SUV and they try to flee, hit the person
00:29:36.320
who falls over and they scream, hit and run. Nothing's happened as far as I can tell them. Nobody,
00:29:41.040
nobody cares. No one's going to track down this SUV except for the leftists. And depending on the
00:29:46.220
jurisdiction, you may or may not get action. So what happens next? So long as they keep doing
00:29:52.120
things like this, maybe Minnesota falls. Trump is too weak to actually deal with it.
00:29:56.440
ICE is going out, just basically creating favorable propaganda for leftist recruitment,
00:30:00.760
not actually solving the problem. They've been too weak. And then vigilantes show up.
00:30:05.740
As much as these far leftists can do what they're doing, right wingers can do all the same if they
00:30:10.480
choose. Now we've seen what happens to proud boys and patriot prayer and these people who stand up to
00:30:14.880
Antifa, but the times they are a changing. They are absolutely a changing. And now the right is
00:30:20.600
starting to understand the tactics of the left and the mistake the proud boys made was not wearing a
00:30:24.580
mask, but now ICE is. So what happens when a guy gets a vehicle with no plates, wears a mask and rams
00:30:32.480
through these people or shows up with a gun because we've already seen the escalation. Why would we not
00:30:38.320
see even more? That's my fear. Now, again, maybe Trump was joking about the elections.
00:30:44.120
I don't know. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see like all things and hope that the escalation
00:30:50.320
stops. Can you give me any reason to believe the escalation will? Cause I'm looking for one every
00:30:57.780
day. You know, the one thing I've talked about with some friends is that we want to bring some
00:31:02.280
humor back. And these morning shows that I do, they're, they're always a bit dark. So I've been
00:31:06.540
talking to the crew. I said, IRL, the hangouts, it needs to be more fun. You know, I can be dire
00:31:12.940
when I do segments like this and talk about the seriousness of what's going on, but at least when
00:31:16.560
we're hanging out with the boys and the ladies or Timcastle IRL, we should be laughing a bit more.
00:31:21.200
Maybe we can try and calm things down. I just hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think any
00:31:27.440
reasonable person would recognize that it's very difficult to do. Smash the like button, share the
