00:00:25.780 Concerned about your gambling or that of someone close to you?
00:00:27.220 call 1-866-531-2600 or visit connexontario.ca. This morning, it was announced that there was
00:00:32.240 a massive terror attack planned targeting the UFC event at the White House. We now have new
00:00:37.820 information dropping from the AP as well as NBC and Fox News. These individuals appear to be left
00:00:43.800 aligned. They sought to target capitalist elites, billionaires, and those who were being funded by
00:00:50.180 AIPAC. They intended to bomb buildings and the event. And as civilians fled, they intended to
00:00:56.840 sniper teams to start picking off these civilians trying to escape. My friends,
00:01:03.540 you've heard it from me before, but it sounds like we are headed towards some kind of
00:01:08.160 civil war. Maybe not. And I always say this, maybe not. Now, J.D. Vance has stated 23 individuals
00:01:17.360 getting to the point where they are preparing drones with explosives armed. This is funded
00:01:23.700 and coordinated. And this is where things get really scary. It's not the first. In fact,
00:01:29.640 it's only seeming to get worse. These assassination attempts against the president
00:01:34.340 and now others in his circle. Dare I say, my friends, there is an organized effort
00:01:41.060 engaging in violence targeting this country. And of course, Donald Trump, who has been the
00:01:46.880 target of now several assassination attempts. Dare I say, when you look at the funding from
00:01:52.880 the Republican Party and the Democrats, something doesn't seem right. The Republican Party has
00:01:58.220 around $200 million cash on hand with no debt. The Democratic Party has something like $14 million
00:02:04.040 with $17 million in debt. They're negative $3 million. Where is the money going? Well, what
00:02:10.080 we've seen in the past couple of years, it appears that the progressives, the liberals, aren't funding
00:02:17.060 the political institutions anymore to try and win power. It seems they're funding NGOs
00:02:21.860 and extremism. And that's why we're getting incidents like this. Now, my friends, it's not
00:02:27.540 just this story. In fact, I have another story for you. More leftists indebted on terror charges
00:02:33.040 over the attack on ICE facilities last year. It seems to be that there are a lot of people
00:02:40.980 preparing and engaged in violence against the United States and against those who voted for
00:02:48.480 this president. So dare I say, my friends, perhaps, perhaps there won't be a civil war.
00:02:53.900 Maybe Donald Trump, his administration, Kash Patel, get a handle on these things like we saw
00:02:59.080 here. But what I fear, it's always easier to throw a wrench into the gears than it is to build the
00:03:07.480 gears and the machine in the first place. Disruption is easy. Offense is easier than
00:03:13.740 defense. The scary reality is we were dangerously close to a mass casualty event at the White House
00:03:20.740 instigated by what appears to be leftist terrorists. But do you believe these are the
00:03:25.900 only ones? Do you believe there are no other plots? And do you believe they will not learn
00:03:30.500 from this and try harder next time? Certainly these individuals involved have been apprehended,
00:03:36.100 Many of them. We know their names now and we have some of the images released appears to be released
00:03:41.600 by the FBI. But certainly there are many, many more who will say and believe the exact same thing.
00:03:48.100 When they tell you that Donald Trump is Hitler, they tell you your whole life.
00:03:55.520 What do you think these people are going to do? And the scary thing is some of these people were
00:03:58.940 young. You know, I've been in politics most of my life and I'm 40 years old.
00:04:04.200 But there are individuals that are teenagers getting involved in this stuff.
00:04:08.480 They weren't even thinking politically when Donald Trump stepped down that escalator.
00:04:12.300 And now they are seeking to engage in violence for things they do not understand.
00:04:19.300 Let's get to the news, my friends, and break this down with new information, new images.
00:04:23.580 This is all very, very shocking stuff.

00:05:27.800 Here's the story from the AP.
00:05:29.720 Don't forget to also subscribe, share this video everywhere you can.
00:05:34.320 The AP reports, FBI disrupts a planned attack on the White House UFC cage fighting show,
00:05:40.260 court papers say.
00:05:41.340 So we've got the documents now, my friends.
00:05:44.480 Let me see if I think this might just be, yeah, okay.
00:05:46.420 Law enforcement officials disrupted a planned attack targeting the UFC cage fighting show
00:05:51.480 staged at the White House this past weekend.
00:05:53.420 According to court papers unsealed Tuesday that say plotters disgruntled with the direction
00:05:58.420 of the country spoke of flying explosive laden drones and shooting panicked crowd members
00:06:03.380 as they fled.
00:06:04.820 Now, let me just say, targeting civilians, what do we call that?
00:06:09.040 Terror.
00:06:10.500 The FBI obtained encrypted text messages between roughly 20 participants who shared detailed
00:06:15.680 maps of the area and discussed the need for a safe house and escape routes after the attack.
00:06:20.740 the documents show. It was unclear from the court records how close the would-be attackers could
00:06:26.880 have come to being able to carry out their plan had it not been thwarted last week.
00:06:31.480 FBI agents learned about the possible threat on June 10th, four days before the MMA extravaganza
00:06:37.740 on the White House South Lawn. And thanks to the rapid action of the FBI, our partners and the DOJ
00:06:42.380 in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks
00:06:48.620 were stopped cold, Kash Patel said in the post on Tuesday. Five people were arrested from states,
00:06:54.500 including Ohio, Missouri, and California, said a law enforcement official familiar with the matter.
00:06:59.860 The official spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity to discuss information that was not yet
00:07:04.580 public. Among the arrests, among one of those arrested was Tyson Proper, a 19-year-old Ohio man
00:07:12.000 whose mother contacted local law enforcement last week with concerns about his firearms purchases
00:07:18.040 and online communications, according to an FBI affidavit filed in the case.
00:07:21.760 Now, I want to pause and just talk about how insane this is.
00:07:24.960 Dude was nine years old when Trump came down that escalator. 0.84
00:07:29.240 And in 10 years of media lies and radicalization, they have turned him into a terrorist.
00:07:37.580 I do not believe a young man whose mother would turn him into the police over what he's been doing
00:07:42.580 is someone radicalized by his parents. 1.00
00:07:44.740 I believe that these poor kids are on social media where the only thing they hear every day is that Donald Trump is a rapist, a fraudster. 1.00
00:07:51.720 He's a murderer. 1.00
00:07:53.300 He's a child abuser. 1.00
00:07:54.680 He's Epstein. 1.00
00:07:55.380 He's Israel. 0.96
00:07:56.140 He is everything you have ever feared. 1.00
00:07:59.320 Because they're insane people. 1.00
00:08:01.640 Trump's certainly far from perfect, but this is nuts. 0.97
00:08:04.240 And now this kid, 10 years, 10 years later, Trump comes down the escalator.
00:08:08.920 Here he is attempting to commit a terror attack against innocent civilians.
00:08:16.720 This is insane stuff, my friends.
00:08:19.740 And I should say they alleged an assistant federal public defender assigned to represent
00:08:25.180 proper whose charge of firearms offenses and crimes, including attempted murder of an officer
00:08:29.800 or employee of the United States, did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
00:08:33.680 Proper made initial court appearance Monday in Columbus and faces a detention hearing
00:08:37.760 on Wednesday.
00:08:38.920 Proper admitted in an interview with law enforcement that he participated in the planning of an attack, according to the affidavit, which says some members of the group began communicating with each other last March through a TikTok group called Vanguard of the Old.
00:08:51.400 The members of the group stated that they wanted to protect the United States, which they believed was headed in the wrong direction.
00:08:58.200 Members of the group believed the U.S. needed to be torn down so that it could be rebuilt.
00:09:03.120 Some expressed the desire that people who were involved with Epstein should not govern the country.
00:09:06.740 If you have watched my shows, I have warned you of this ideology from the ashes of the old.
00:09:13.140 We shall build anew.
00:09:14.960 It's what the people were saying at Occupy Wall Street, and it's what they continue to say to this day.
00:09:19.800 They intentionally want to burn the country down so they can build something new.
00:09:26.220 That's what they say.
00:09:27.460 Tear it down.
00:09:28.680 What I was told by activists during Occupy Wall Street, they had been publicly stated, we want to flip the pyramid upside down.
00:09:35.020 to the untrained. They believe this means you have this pyramid where on the bottom is the
00:09:40.000 working class and then the top are the global elites. And if you flip the pyramid upside down,
00:09:44.480 the global elites are on the bottom and the working class are on the top. I mean, that's 0.99
00:09:49.420 what the untrained believe. They believe that these activists are simply saying the working
00:09:54.420 class should get more. Sounds nice, doesn't it? And then I asked the obvious follow-up question. 1.00
00:10:01.740 If you flip a pyramid upside down, it'll crumble into a pile of bricks and form another crude
00:10:06.280 pyramid, a heap of bricks. And do you know what they told me? Yes, exactly. But we'll be on top.
00:10:13.180 If you flip a pyramid over, the bricks will all come crashing down. You will no longer have a
00:10:18.500 beautifully organized pyramid, but a pile of bricks forming a crude pyramid. But some of those working
00:10:24.360 class people from the bottom will stay in the center and will stay on top. And they believe 1.00
00:10:29.160 that will be them and the working class are in for a long long fall ever feel the need for more 0.99
00:10:36.860 find it in the ford maverick with a hybrid engine to do more of this
00:10:40.900 with less of this and available all-wheel drive to tackle more of this
00:10:48.060 it's more than a truck it's a maverick right now get purchase financing from 3.99% APR for up to
00:10:55.900 72 months on 2026 Maverick XLT models, plus $1,000 in Ford accessories. Visit your Ontario
00:11:02.440 Ford store or Ford.ca today. But doesn't that make sense? I mean, this is what they did in
00:11:07.360 the communist revolutions. The workers who supported the uprisings get executed for doing so.
00:11:12.780 Those who kept their heads down probably just lose their property and then live in squalor
00:11:17.300 from then on out. They say the logistics of the plane attack were discussed via Signal,
00:11:22.320 an app that uses end-to-end encryption for its messaging and calling services.
00:11:25.860 Do we have a—I'm looking for—they actually have the—I know the court documents have been
00:11:30.280 released. Proper told law enforcement officials they'd been planning to drive with weapons and
00:11:34.660 body armor to a meetup spot in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where the group was set to gather.
00:11:40.640 He said that though he did not intend to shoot people at the White House, others in the group
00:11:43.640 did. The plan called for the use of drones that would be detonated over the north side of the
00:11:48.380 White House, prompting a rushed evacuation into the line of fire of waiting snipers in an attack
00:11:54.100 that Proper said was designed to jumpstart a revolution in the U.S., authorities said.
00:12:00.660 President Trump, who celebrated his 80th birth at the UFC event on Sunday, was friends with Epstein
00:12:05.700 many years ago, but has said he ended their relationship before the disgraced financier's
00:12:09.460 crimes became known. In fact, Trump reported him to the police. Speaking to reporters Tuesday in
00:12:14.960 France, where he was attending the G7 summit. Trump said he had not been briefed on the thwarted
00:12:19.360 plot. So we have some images here. Mario Knopfel's posting them from the court documents.
00:12:26.300 You can see, as indicated in the screenshots below, the conspirators engaged aerial photos
00:12:31.540 and maps of locations in and around Washington, D.C., including the White House, and discussed
00:12:35.880 where snipers should be placed and where drones should be launched. The Knox County Sheriff's
00:12:41.120 office took photos of the equipment acquired by Proper, which included several boxes of ammunition,
00:12:46.160 two plate carriers with AR-style magazines, an AR-style rifle, and a bullpup rifle painted with
00:12:52.220 the American flag. There's more, they say. He admitted to planning the UFC Freedom 250 attack.
00:12:59.900 On June 13th, 2016, the FBI executed federal search warrant to Thomas' residence
00:13:04.620 that were authorized by the Honorable Anna Y. Park, U.S. Magistrate Judge for the Central
00:13:09.820 District of California. During the search, agents seized a hunting rifle, an AR-style rifle, 30
00:13:14.540 round extended magazines. They say during the execution of the warrants, agents interviewed
00:13:19.400 Thomas. Agents were also able to review screenshots of his phone, which showed photos of Google Maps
00:13:24.640 sections of the D.C. area, including areas surrounding the White House. During the interview,
00:13:29.460 Thomas stated that he saw himself as the planner and advisor for the group, and while he was not
00:13:33.640 willing to take action himself, wanted to guide and instruct others on how to carry out the
00:13:38.320 attacks. Thomas expressed frustration that some members of the group seemed noncommittal and used
00:13:43.660 excuses as to why they could not take action, particularly with the planned attack on the UFC
00:13:48.200 freedom event. My friends, this was explicitly an attempt to start a civil war. I'm not saying
00:13:55.920 it would have been successful. I'm not saying it was a powerful faction that could rival his
00:14:01.700 military. I am saying we are now getting information indicating these far left extremists
00:14:07.900 were intending to start a civil war. Now, don't get me wrong. They called it a revolution.
00:14:13.600 But indeed, what do you think would happen if far leftists bombed the White House, 0.98
00:14:18.360 shot and killed a bunch of people? Indeed, the crazy thing is, well, I'll wait pending more 0.93
00:14:25.560 information. You know, I'm going to say we know a bit about this, at least what they've released
00:14:30.960 so far, but things do change, so maybe new information will come out. As it pertains to
00:14:36.080 previous plots uncovered by the FBI, we learned that a lot of these people are informants,
00:14:42.340 you know, like the Whitmer stuff. In this instance, I wouldn't be surprised to find out in the future
00:14:47.680 that is still the case, but they say they were initially made aware of this because the mother
00:14:52.760 turned him in. This doesn't look like something that was gathered by criminal informants in which
00:14:58.580 it seems to be more organic than something the feds just fomented. Now, here's where it's
00:15:03.920 interesting. There's more information from Fox. Five people were in custody Monday. The alleged
00:15:10.000 plan involved using explosive-laden drones to hit the first buildings, forced a mass evacuation and
00:15:14.840 steer crowds toward a pre-stage sniper team. A second wave was then allegedly planned to storm
00:15:21.500 the White House gate. They said the FBI learned on June 10th and worked with partners to secure
00:15:27.240 probable cause for an arrest in Cincinnati of one suspect. Now, why did they do it?
00:15:31.840 They were going after capitalists. Look at this. Look at this. According to a criminal complaint,
00:15:35.720 Proper allegedly spent $3,000 of his graduation money to purchase lots of ammunition, guns,
00:15:41.820 extra magazines, and other items for the alleged attack. Authorities estimated that several boxes
00:15:46.920 of ammunition that Proper allegedly acquired contained thousands of rounds. It is also alleged
00:15:51.740 that Proper acquired an AR-style rifle, a bullpup rifle. We did read this stuff.
00:15:56.640 His father told officers that Proper had quit his job to meet up with people he had met online to conduct missions and recons, according to the complaint.
00:16:04.120 It said that Proper's mother had first alerted authorities over concerns about his recent alleged firearm purchases and communications with individuals online.
00:16:12.060 Let's just jump straight to the capitalist part.
00:16:15.740 They say some of those involved allegedly planned to travel to Fredericksburg, Virginia on June 12th or 13th to prepare.
00:16:24.040 One suspect allegedly told investigators the goal was to target capitalist elites, billionaires or politicians who received donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, AIPAC.
00:16:38.020 The investigation stretched across at least 12 FBI field offices.
00:16:44.100 Patel said the operation showed the FBI's ability to respond quickly when threats emerge.
00:16:48.140 This is an absolutely insane story, my friends, but I do believe we are close.
00:16:54.780 It is possible the Trump admin starts arresting these people.
00:16:59.320 We shut this stuff down.
00:17:00.580 But based on the trend in Democrats spending, I fear Trump and the Republicans win 2024.
00:17:07.180 Right now, I believe probability shows Republicans stand to win the midterms despite everyone's
00:17:13.340 claims.
00:17:14.120 I can say this.
00:17:16.080 Historically, Democrats should win.
00:17:18.140 They do have a very strong chance to win.
00:17:21.120 I'm not denying any of that.
00:17:22.720 But what I am saying is that based on the current polling data, it looks like Republicans
00:17:27.100 will have a thin majority in the House.
00:17:30.240 They will keep the Senate.
00:17:31.940 Now, in the betting markets, they're saying it's going to be a Democrat sweep, maybe.
00:17:36.440 But I kind of feel like there's a, you know, there's something called Watson v.
00:17:39.680 RNC coming out.
00:17:40.940 Supreme Court ruling we're expecting in the next couple of weeks should theoretically
00:17:45.480 end universal mail-in voting and dramatically change Democrats' odds coming up. Take a look
00:17:51.920 at this from Reddit. Just from a day ago, and it's not the most prominent post, but to be honest,
00:17:57.480 there were so many of these posts. All the questions. Someone says, is the U.S. having a
00:18:03.520 civil cold war between both sides, left and right, right now, or is it just intensified?
00:18:09.000 And someone said, what recent events? I ask because we've been in a slow rolling
00:18:13.100 Kedek tumble cycle for the last 10 years. Indeed. This person says no one can afford to screw around
00:18:17.920 except these crazies at White House. Most of us see it as dumb. Whatever the F Charlie Kirk was 1.00
00:18:23.020 didn't do it. ICE didn't do it. Stealing tax money and starting the dumbest war in history didn't do
00:18:27.020 it. It's not happening. Trump will die soon. Republicans may win and suck. Democrats may
00:18:32.040 win and suck. Standards are low. One person says it's all part of the Russia and Chinese plan to 1.00
00:18:37.300 bring down the U.S. and the U.S. admin is helping. There's a cold civil war between the elites and
00:18:42.000 everybody else. The left right dichotomy is a divide and conquer tactic. Sure. The reason I
00:18:47.060 like this sentiment tends to be I hear this a lot, not not the majority, but one of the responses to
00:18:52.920 the fear of civil war is no one could do it because they're broke. A 19 year old kid just
00:18:59.520 tried to do it. So don't give me that. People are too broken. They're too comfortable. Ideology
00:19:04.900 is powerful. And then we have this. Let's not forget. Three more alleged antifa cell members
00:19:12.680 indicted on terrorism charges over a Texas ICE attack. You know what I want to add?
00:19:19.140 This attempted a terror attack on the White House. What is the underlying ideology motivating it?
00:19:25.880 Well, it's capitalist elites, billionaires and AIPAC.
00:19:30.880 The AIPAC thing is universal, I would describe it.
00:19:36.280 There are elements of the right that oppose AIPAC and speak out against them, and there's
00:19:39.900 elements of the left all the same.
00:19:41.280 So I don't really think you can align that left or right.
00:19:44.300 Again, there's a right wing that hates AIPAC, Israel, Jews, et cetera, and we don't need
00:19:49.560 whatever that is.
00:19:50.740 And then there's also on the left something similar.
00:19:53.340 Now, as for the capitalist elites and billionaires, this puts it squarely in left territory where
00:20:00.160 prominent politicians have been speaking out warning of the threat of these elites forever.
00:20:06.600 Once again, the motivating ideologies here align with the party of the left, the Democratic
00:20:13.940 Party.
00:20:15.200 Have we seen anything comparable on the right?
00:20:19.160 Indeed, we have not.
00:20:20.620 Again, in the past 10 years, you get January 6th.
00:20:22.820 That's it. Some people like to say, yeah, but Bolter, right? The guy in Minnesota?
00:20:29.080 No known motivation. He knew these people personally, I believe. He claimed Tim Walt
00:20:33.360 sent him to go kill senators. So we don't exactly know what his motivation was. Seems to just be a
00:20:38.040 killing. It's tragic, but not overtly political. This, this is overtly political. And so is this
00:20:46.260 story. Three more alleged antifa cell members indicted on terror charges. This from the
00:20:51.200 Washington Examiner. They say overnight on July 4th, so this is just about a year ago, 2025,
00:20:56.920 more than a dozen heavily armed Antifa militants belonging to a Dallas area Antifa chapter ambushed
00:21:01.760 Homeland Security personnel guarding the ICE holding site near Fort Worth. The coordinated
00:21:06.840 attack left one local police officer who was responding to a disturbance call at the detention
00:21:11.680 center shot in the neck. Months after the non-fatal shooting, Melania Lynn Estes, Andrew
00:21:19.520 Tyler Smith and Stephen Thomas Reyna become the latest alleged associates of the Antifa cell to
00:21:25.080 be charged, each facing one count of hindering the prosecution of terrorism and one count of
00:21:31.000 engaging in organized criminal activity, smuggling of persons. Estes, Smith and Reyna are accused
00:21:36.460 of helping Benjamin Hanel Song, the cell's convicted ringleader, evade law enforcement
00:21:41.540 after he shot Lieutenant Thomas Gross of the Alvarado Police Department on the night of the
00:21:46.180 attack. Song, then a fugitive from justice, was the subject of a week-long FBI manhunt
00:21:52.000 and made the Texas top 10 most wanted fugitives list. According to charging documents obtained
00:21:57.480 by the examiner records request, the three allegedly collaborated with two other accomplices,
00:22:03.540 Lynette Reed Sharp and Susan Elaine Kent, to harbor and conceal Song. Sharp and Kent both
00:22:09.880 previously pleaded guilty to federal charges of providing material support to terrorists.
00:22:15.440 Sharp, the first co-conspirator, to take a plea deal, admitted to aiding and abetting Song's escape by supplying him with a disguise,
00:22:23.720 while Kent told investigators that she coordinated lodging and transportation arrangements to move the Antifa cells at-large leader between safe houses.
00:22:32.700 State prosecutors alleged that Estes, Smith, and Raina worked alongside Sharp and Kent as part of a support network
00:22:39.320 that activated in the aftermath of the attack to hide song and provide him with the means of
00:22:44.140 avoiding arrest. A grand jury indicted the trio in March, but the indictment against Estes Smith
00:22:50.040 and Reina was just recently unsealed, bringing the total number of individuals suspected of
00:22:55.480 involvement in the terror plot to 22 alleged Antifa operatives across state and federal
00:23:01.360 proceedings. 16 of the defendants have already been federally convicted, including nine found
00:23:07.040 guilty earlier this year in the first ever federal Antifa terror trial in U.S. history.
00:23:14.240 Jurors returned convictions in March related to terrorism, rioting, carrying an explosive and
00:23:19.060 unlawful use of a firearm. Song was the only one convicted of the most serious charge of attempted
00:23:24.020 murder. Seven others pleaded out ahead of trial, confessing in sworn statements that the anti-ICE
00:23:29.540 attack was launched in line with an Antifa ideology, and five of them flipped to testify
00:23:35.220 at trial against their comrades in exchange to reduce sentences.
00:23:39.900 An Antifa collective called the DFW Support Committee, which established a legal defense
00:23:45.520 fund for for the nearly two dozen suspects, issued a statement declaring that the three
00:23:50.960 newly indicted defendants do not intend to cooperate with prosecution.
00:23:54.620 To date, the committee has raised almost one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars
00:23:59.180 from mostly anonymous contributors on behalf of the 22 criminally charged cell affiliates.
00:24:04.880 Antifa International's funding arm, the International Anti-Fascist Defense Fund,
00:24:10.240 sent the largest donation signing with love and solidarity from your friends.
00:24:16.960 So I'm still wondering why these groups haven't been labeled international terrorists,
00:24:20.740 only domestic, which is a meaningless declaration for the most part.
00:24:24.440 Estes, Smith, and Rayna were booked into Johnson County Jail with bail set at a combined $1.25 million.
00:24:29.940 All three have since been bonded out of state custody, court records show.
00:24:34.100 And what makes you think these people are going to stick around, which is amazing?
00:24:39.800 These are people who attempted to wage war against the U.S. government.
00:24:43.900 Do you think they're going to recognize your legitimacy and authority?
00:24:47.180 Do you think these people believe they will get a fair trial?
00:24:50.360 No, I certainly think they would, but they won't.
00:24:53.100 So why are they not considered flight risks?
00:24:56.080 Or at the very least, who is willing to put up $125,000, depending on the state,
00:25:03.920 might actually be the full amount. They say those convicted so far are scheduled for sentencing this
00:25:09.820 Thursday in the federal terrorism case. They still have state charges pending in Texas for
00:25:14.320 offenses ranging from organized crime to obstruction of justice. Dario Emanuel Sanchez,
00:25:18.840 another state defendant, is slated to stand trial on June 22nd for allegedly tampering with
00:25:23.340 evidence. Authorities say that Sanchez, a former teacher in the Dallas Independent School District,
00:25:27.960 deleted texts from Signal and Discord showing the Antifa cells attack plans. Indeed, it is just
00:25:35.520 ongoing. Here's one for you. Paul Krugman calls for the demagification of the U.S., similar to
00:25:43.400 the denazification of post-World War II. The only issue is that Trump won the election.
00:25:50.580 Most people are leaning in his cultural direction. I'm not saying people like him.
00:25:55.060 I'm saying, culturally, what makes MAGA is typically more popular than what makes whatever
00:26:01.660 Krugman is. Well, here's a response. This is from Beach Grit. Krugman's demegification is a call for
00:26:09.260 America's second civil war. Wow. Given that Donald Trump's approval rating among Republicans is
00:26:16.160 holding steady, Paul Krugman's call for demegification is nothing less than a call for
00:26:20.300 Civil War. Worse, his argument rests on the pernicious myth that Allied re-education
00:26:25.520 transformed the Nazi dictatorship into a constitutional democracy.
00:26:30.260 That claim does not hold up to analysis. After the unconditional surrender of Germany in 1945,
00:26:35.360 Allied leaders had something extremely rare in international politics, a monopoly on military
00:26:39.840 and political power. For the first time since Napoleon, German soil was occupied by foreign 0.64
00:26:44.540 armies. While the citizens of the Third Reich were resigned to having their cities bombed,
00:26:48.980 POWs executed and territory plundered, the allied reform and reeducation policies were another
00:26:55.040 matter. Although this was unlike anything Europeans had ever seen, it was familiar to
00:26:59.840 Americans south of the Mason-Dixon line, who had undergone a similarly resented effort after the
00:27:04.280 Civil War, indeed, Reconstruction, which resulted in a contentious election where nobody knew who
00:27:09.720 won. There were conflicted ballots and the president was chosen by committee. I will pull
00:27:16.220 this one up for you. This one's, uh, this one's absolutely fascinating. I believe it was, uh,
00:27:24.640 let's see what it might've been seven. It was at 72 or is it 76? One of these ones. Uh, let's see
00:27:32.360 Democrat, uh, Grant was unanimously nominated. Let me, uh, let me, let me just pull this one
00:27:39.100 in. I didn't have it pulled up, but, uh, I believe it was, uh, a fifth and sixth consecutive
00:27:45.340 get a victory. Let me make sure I get this right. Because one of these elections was decided by
00:27:50.580 committee. I think it was 1876. I always mix up these two. You see, you got invalidated,
00:28:02.340 invalidated. I think it was two, right? Because, oh, no, no, no. Yeah, it was 1876. Is that really
00:28:07.480 it? What ends up happening is they're on the verge of civil war again. They say electoral
00:28:13.020 Commission decided 1876. I was right the first time. So it was 1876. So they have this election 0.99
00:28:20.540 and it's contested who actually wins. So they come in and they basically have a committee.
00:28:28.900 Let me see if we can pull this one up if they have it here on the Wikipedia page. It's been a while
00:28:32.580 since we pulled this one up. They had a committee to decide who the president would be to avoid a
00:28:38.860 Civil War, Electoral Disputes, and the Compromise of 1877. Basically, this is what ended
00:28:45.260 Reconstruction. They're basically like, you know what? Civil War is going to be back on and 0.75
00:28:50.660 everyone's going to be fighting. So they said, okay, okay, fine. And they allowed the president
00:28:55.680 to be chosen by committee. It's pretty amazing when you read that history. I recommend you check
00:29:00.520 it out. Now, anyway, I'm not going to just sit here and read a history of World War II and
00:29:04.780 denotification. The point I'm bringing up with this story in particular is that you actually
00:29:09.440 have liberals calling for demagification, and they've been doing it for some time,
00:29:13.880 advocating that Trump supporters be put in camps to be reeducated. It won't work.
00:29:19.820 It never does. You can take their children away, but you are not going to change people.
00:29:26.260 It's just not going to happen. Some may lie desperate for freedom, but I don't think the
00:29:31.360 strongest of adherents would be willing to do so. And this is why you have so many stories of
00:29:36.220 Christians dying rather than giving up their faith. To go to a person and say, relinquish
00:29:42.940 everything that defines who you are and makes you what you are, or die. Human beings are stubborn.
00:29:50.460 Certainly, there are some people who are schemers, and they'll just say whatever they have to to get
00:29:54.660 by. Some people are a bit more cowardly and will just say literally anything and don't have strong
00:29:58.880 beliefs to begin with. And I always wondered about this when I was younger. I hear these stories
00:30:02.820 where, you know, you'd have like in the crusades, like a Muslim captures a Christian and says, 0.94
00:30:07.300 renounce your God or die. And they'd be like, never. And then they kill him. And it's like, 0.94
00:30:10.980 just lie. But it's more than that. It's more than that. It's refusing to give in. It's staring into
00:30:17.720 the face of those who stand against you and telling them you will not win, even if it means
00:30:22.160 sacrificing your life. It's interesting. But I tell you this, not because I'm going to tell you
00:30:26.660 what is right and what is wrong. Certainly living and succeeding in your endeavors might be more
00:30:29.760 valuable. It's just that this idea that you're going to take a Trump supporter and put them in
00:30:34.160 a camp and they would just give up is silly. It's just silly. You can tape their eyes open. You can 0.99
00:30:39.900 use metal prongs and force them to watch videos and they're not going to give in. But there are
00:30:46.380 other techniques. Famously, the Chinese, they would say to prisoners of war, would you like to
00:30:52.800 eat? The prisoner of war would say, yes, please. They say, OK, I will give you this food, but you
00:30:57.500 have to tell me one bad thing about your country. And the people would be like, one bad thing,
00:31:02.500 literally anything. And often these people would be like, I refuse. And they'd say, oh, come on,
00:31:07.180 you have traffic problems, right? Well, yeah, we have traffic. I mean, who doesn't? So that's a
00:31:12.620 bad thing, isn't it? Yeah, I guess traffic is bad. Here's your food. It's no big deal, right?
00:31:18.220 The prisoner of war is just like, everybody thinks traffic is bad. That's all I had to say.
00:31:22.800 The next day they come back and say, if you want your food, you're going to tell me something bad
00:31:25.620 about your country. And they'll go, the streets are dirty. And they'll be like, OK, here's your
00:31:31.640 food. You do this for several months. Eventually, the person is now talking about politics. They're
00:31:38.180 talking about the parties, talking about wealth, because it's just one step at a time. Eventually,
00:31:42.800 they say, write it down. Write down something bad about your country. And famously, you would end
00:31:48.560 up with people writing six pages of all of the complaints they had about the United States
00:31:52.400 government or whatever country they came from. That's re-education. And that's what they want.
00:32:00.120 This is psychotic. But I can't say that I'm surprised to see the political class calling 0.89
00:32:05.740 for the concentration camps of Trump supporters and re-education and the violent Antifa class,
00:32:12.120 the terror class, actually threatened to murder civilians trying to escape for their lives.
00:32:16.440 it's crazy out there but hey hey what i can say is the fbi stopped it how about that you know
00:32:23.500 we've got some of these images from the court papers of their targets and things like that
00:32:27.320 so it's interesting i suppose we'll be getting more information on this as it comes but i'll
00:32:31.960 leave it there for now smash the like button share the show with everyone you know stay tuned
00:32:35.680 more to come tonight 8 p.m timcast IRL don't miss it and we'll see you all then
00:32:46.440 You
