00:00:30.000 We've got this story from Fox 13. Gunman arrested for murder of protester despite not firing the
00:00:38.280 shots. At a protest turned, I don't know if you can call it a riot. It's in Salt Lake City with what
00:00:45.620 appears to be 1,000 plus marching. A man reportedly was, quote, manipulating a rifle when some of the
00:00:53.660 organizers from the event, the 50501 movement, took aim at the man who fled, and they shot at him as
00:01:03.340 he was fleeing, killing an innocent bystander. This is insane. The man who fired the shots was not
00:01:10.040 arrested. Fox 13 says, one person has died after a shooting that occurred Saturday as protesters
00:01:15.940 marched to the streets of downtown Salt Lake City following an O'Kings protest. Police arrested a
00:01:20.800 suspect for alleged murder, although he was not the person who fired the fatal shot.
00:01:25.880 Red identified the suspect as Arturo Roberto Gamboa, who was found with an AR-15 and a gas mask.
00:01:32.960 Two additional people were detained following the shooting. They were wearing high visibility
00:01:36.360 vest and armed, with Red saying they were possibly part of the march's peacekeeping team. Now,
00:01:42.660 this has been confirmed. These men were, quote, unquote, peacekeepers. I think about Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:01:50.500 When he was threatened with death, physically attacked and fled, and only after someone fired
00:01:56.100 a shot that he turned around and a man tried to grab his gun, actually touched it, attacked him,
00:02:00.540 he opened fire. As he fled, they attacked him further. And the left said he was a vigilante. The media
00:02:06.500 said he was a vigilante. They claimed he murdered three black people. None of it ever happened.
00:02:10.680 Now we have liberal organizers of the No Kings protest, the 50501 movement,
00:02:16.920 involved directly with shooting and killing an innocent bystander, and they're not even arrested.
00:02:24.140 Things are getting crazy, and it's hard to say if this is escalation or inter-leftist conflict.
00:02:31.220 From The Guardian, U.S. Marines detained civilian in first known instance since Trump deployed troops
00:02:37.640 to L.A. This is a dramatic escalation. As the No Kings protest across the country,
00:02:45.980 in some instances, descended into rioting. Now, my friends, we're going to be joined by Andy Ngo.
00:02:52.780 He's an expert on all of this stuff, and he knows a lot about who these people are,
00:02:56.420 what went down. So let's pull in Andy right now. We're going to grab that camera here,
00:03:00.960 get it all set up. I believe we have our sources synced. Video room is currently loading.
00:03:07.420 We've got Andy. Andy, can you hear me?
00:03:11.780 Can you hear and see me, Andy Ngo?
00:03:13.800 I do. Hello.
00:03:14.840 Hey, how's it going? Thanks for joining.
00:03:18.340 My pleasure.
00:03:19.520 Do you want to give a brief, just real quick, who are you and what do you do?
00:03:22.340 Andy Ngo. Yeah, my name's Andy Ngo. I am an independent journalist most known for reporting
00:03:29.280 on Antifa, Tarantifa, and the violent far left. I'm originally from Portland, Oregon.
00:03:36.280 So you've experienced on the ground, of course. You've written a book about it,
00:03:39.760 unmasked. You've been physically attacked on more than one occasion. This past week and into
00:03:45.460 the weekend, we've seen an escalation of far left riots. The No Kings protest, of course,
00:03:50.160 in certain areas of the Pacific Northwest devolved into just outright riots. But we have this story
00:03:55.600 of these peacekeepers who shot and killed a guy and they arrested somebody else. This is pretty
00:04:02.260 confusing. Out of Salt Lake City, can you break down what happened with that, who these people are,
00:04:07.780 and why they arrested this other guy? The story is confusing because, well,
00:04:12.540 once I explain it, you'll understand why. There are a lot of Democrat and liberal media narratives
00:04:17.740 at risk. We've been told now for the last couple of days that the No Kings protests that happened
00:04:24.620 nationwide were peaceful. And this was a lawful demonstration against the authoritarian tendencies
00:04:32.180 of President Trump. But as you mentioned a moment ago, there were some places where there were
00:04:38.060 violence that devolved. In Portland, in particular, after the main demonstration. But in Salt Lake City,
00:04:44.660 Utah, it turned deadly. Yesterday, the Salt Lake City police did a press conference detailing how a
00:04:54.500 suspect had been charged with murder. And they released his name, Arturo Gamboa. And the reaction
00:05:02.740 online from those who read the headlines was they thought it was potentially a Trump supporter or some
00:05:09.140 right-wing maniac who brandished a rifle and killed a anti-Trump protester. But that's not what happened
00:05:18.660 at all. According to the police and according to footage that has emerged, the shooting happened by,
00:05:27.620 the shots were fired by a so-called volunteer peacekeeper. So this is a liberal demonstration.
00:05:34.580 For those who don't know sort of the background, the No Kings event, it was organized by nearly 200 Democrat-aligned
00:05:42.900 unions, PACs, non-profits, activist groups, et cetera, all on the left. And at the protests in Salt Lake and in other
00:05:53.860 cities, they did not want a large visible police presence because there's still anti-police sentiment among the
00:06:00.580 mainstream left going back now for a long time because of BLM and also because they blame police for
00:06:11.220 potentially allying with federal law enforcement. So some places have their own volunteer peacekeepers, which are
00:06:18.900 just left-wing liberal protesters who don a vest and have the task of maintaining peace. And a peacekeeper may
00:06:31.220 have misjudged the situation because a radical leftist who came allegedly with a rifle, and you can see in
00:06:39.380 the video, he looked, he was holding something that looks like a rifle and did not appear to be brandishing
00:06:43.860 it at anyone's. A peacekeeper fired shots in the direction of the radical Latino leftist and raised him
00:06:53.860 only and instead killed an innocent bystander who was part of the protest. A Samoan American man died.
00:07:02.260 A Samoan American man died. And so the radical Latino leftist, Mr. Gamboa is the one that's been charged
00:07:13.940 with murder. Even though he is not accused of firing any rounds, the so-called peacekeeper has not been
00:07:21.620 named at all by authorities and it's unclear if he will be facing any charges. Salt Lake City Police is
00:07:30.500 asking for people who have video or photo evidence to submit it to them in their investigation.
00:07:38.100 So this guy they arrested, you were saying the video, he doesn't appear to be brandishing,
00:07:41.940 he's not pointing it at anybody or anything like that?
00:07:45.380 In a video, which is somebody from high up on a building is panning over in the crowd and it just
00:07:51.060 happened by coincidence to catch the shooting as it's happening. And you see a person who is
00:07:57.140 identified as the murder suspect, the radical leftist running away. He's dressed all in black. He's
00:08:04.980 he's running away. His rifle appears to be pointed at the ground. And you see a person wearing a bright
00:08:11.460 vest, the alleged so-called peacekeeper firing rounds in the direction of the Latino man. And a person
00:08:22.580 standing nearby was shot dead.
00:08:25.940 I don't I this is this is a very, very weird story. Like, you know, I've compared this with
00:08:31.460 with a Kyle Rittenhouse case where he was threatened with death. He was attacked and he fled. And only
00:08:38.100 after someone fired a shot behind him did he turn around, got attacked again, shot. You know, he killed
00:08:44.500 that man Rosenbaum. He tried to go to the police, was attacked again. This is a weird story where it
00:08:49.620 appears you're mentioning, you're saying there's video of what appears to be one of these,
00:08:52.980 these liberal peacekeepers, I understand it, were associated with the 50, the 50, 51. It's a
00:08:59.380 stupidest name because you got to explain it's 50501. It appears they shot at this guy for no reason.
00:09:05.300 From everything I've read and as you're describing it now, it sounds like there's a far left Antifa guy.
00:09:11.220 He's got a rifle. Some other guy points the rifle at him. So he runs, which I think a lot of people might
00:09:17.220 do if they get a rifle pointed at him. And then this 50501 guy starts shooting into the crowd,
00:09:22.980 yet they didn't arrest him. They didn't call this a liberal mass shooter or anything like that. It's
00:09:27.220 just, I'm quite confused as to how this is how it played out.
00:09:32.020 So it was the peacekeeper who, who pointed a, a pistol not and fired it, not a rifle, by the way,
00:09:40.340 the radical leftist is the one with the a rifle, but interesting. He has it on him and he's running
00:09:46.340 away. It's pointed at the ground as he's running away. We don't know if he was brandishing it at
00:09:51.860 anybody. That's not part of the allegations and no footage has emerged of that. Um, and
00:09:58.580 to explain a bit more of the context, uh, for people who might be confused, understandably,
00:10:04.740 at a lot of these, um, left-wing demonstrations, these radical anarchist communist revolutionary
00:10:10.580 types, which by the way, the social media that is alleged to belong to the Latino guy,
00:10:16.500 he would have those views. They go to these demonstrations to act sort of with firearms,
00:10:22.100 to act, uh, as in their minds, a deterrent to any white supremacists or far right who might
00:10:27.940 want to threaten the, uh, left-wing protesters. I can imagine a situation because it's happened before
00:10:35.380 where these militants on the radical left who come with tactical gear, they're dressed in all black,
00:10:41.460 they're wearing masks and, um, they're open carrying weapons. Other people who don't know who they are
00:10:48.340 might misinterpret and assume that there's some type of far right maggot threat, um, and confront them
00:10:56.340 or something. And in this case, it turned deadly. Um, it remains to be seen if that's actually what
00:11:02.100 happened, but that there's no evidence so far that the man actually charged with murder, um,
00:11:08.980 was threatening to anybody other than opening carrying, but that's lawful in the state of
00:11:14.340 Utah. And for why he's been charged with murder, a lot of states, um, in their criminal statutes on
00:11:21.300 murder, um, it can include if you create the conditions where somebody gets killed,
00:11:26.100 you don't necessarily have to be the one who pull the trigger or stab somebody, for example.
00:11:31.860 But if you create the conditions where somebody is killed, you can be charged.
00:11:36.820 I think what they were saying is that this Gamboa guy was in the process of committing a felony
00:11:41.380 and then someone died. So therefore it's his fault. But the question is, I don't know. I mean,
00:11:47.060 we could check, is it legal to open carry a rifle in Salt Lake City? I'd imagine it is.
00:11:52.660 Maybe there's some restriction on him, or I don't know if that's come up in your, your investigation.
00:11:58.180 Um, I'm not aware of any restrictions for open carrying in Salt Lake City. Uh, I might have,
00:12:04.580 maybe people who are watching live can, can then correct me if I'm inaccurate on that. Um,
00:12:12.020 but it just shows how sort of, um, um, paranoid, uh, liberals in the left are like, they think
00:12:19.060 everybody is a proud boy or a white supremacist seeking to kill them. And, you know, they've
00:12:26.260 targeted a lot of people, not killed them, but violently assaulted people with just alley, like,
00:12:31.620 all it needs is just like a drop of an idea that this person is somehow on the right. And then it's
00:12:37.860 fair game to beat them up, rob them, or in this case, fire shots into a crowd in that direction
00:12:44.820 and be reckless with it. What do you think would have happened if the, the, the, the peacekeeper,
00:12:50.180 they're calling him, I mean, it's kind of a ridiculous thing to say, but what if that was a
00:12:53.300 uniformed police officer who fired live rounds into a crowd of no Kings protesters? How do you think
00:12:59.060 the media and the, and the liberals would be reacting? Um, we would get some type of reaction,
00:13:05.380 maybe similar to 2020, you know, it's all about sort of convenient victims and convenient
00:13:12.980 perpetrators for, um, the radical left and liberal media accuracy doesn't really matter. It's about
00:13:20.500 what narrative is being reinforced. So the no Kings protest is still being called peaceful when you
00:13:28.820 have somebody who was shot dead, just a person who was attending and it, the story sort of just
00:13:37.620 swept under the rug. Now. Um, this was surprising to me. I tweeted, uh, this morning, I said something
00:13:44.900 like, so a far left extremist with a rifle, uh, you know, freaked out some other, uh, far left extremists
00:13:52.020 who then shoot into the crowd, killing a random person. So the cop arrest the extremist who was running
00:13:57.380 and not the guy who was shooting, the response I got from people was, huh? I was surprised. I
00:14:02.660 thought this was something everybody was going to know about. I thought this was going to be like
00:14:05.780 major trending news, uh, especially considering local media reports said that it was, uh, the,
00:14:11.780 the group 50, 51, five, zero, five, zero one. I hate their name by the way, uh, had said one of our
00:14:18.100 people was involved in this. What we were involved in this. And they were saying things like we had to
00:14:22.500 make a very difficult decision, you know, when this happened and it's a tragedy, blah,
00:14:27.300 blah, blah. But I think you're right. We say it's being slipped under the rug and people
00:14:30.500 aren't discussing this. This should be a massive story. This is, you go out peacefully at one of
00:14:36.260 these events and these are private organizations, liberal organizations that have armed unsanctioned
00:14:44.500 individuals. These are not legally sanctioned individuals walking out with guns, trained and
00:14:48.660 ready to kill if they perceive a threat. And that's exactly what happened. But I will move on a
00:14:54.020 little bit because you mentioned that they're still calling these, these protests peaceful,
00:14:57.620 but I'm seeing videos once again, out of like Seattle, Portland and other areas where these
00:15:02.340 extremists are trying to break into ice facilities where they're fighting with police. Can you tell us
00:15:07.060 what was going on up there? Yeah. So there's been a lot of protests that are happening and I think
00:15:12.500 people might be confused on what's what. So there's been the ongoing insurrections that first started in
00:15:18.500 LA now over a week ago. And so there's already been days of violence in LA, in Portland, in Seattle,
00:15:25.620 and then the No Kings protests coincided on Saturday with this sort of larger insurrection.
00:15:33.140 In Portland, the rioters that were trying to burn down the local ice facility, again, were, had their
00:15:40.900 numbers bolstered by people who, once the No Kings demonstration was over, which was peaceful in
00:15:47.300 Portland. Then some of those people were brought over or encouraged to go to the ice facility where
00:15:53.780 the rioters launched another very violent attack on the building and smashed open the front doors,
00:16:00.180 which are glass. And with the intent to go inside, to burn it down from the inside, because the, the
00:16:07.220 fires that they had set on the outside had failed to make the building catch on fire. And the building is
00:16:13.140 next to a elementary school, by the way. I've been on the ground a lot in that area, not, not in this
00:16:18.900 particular case, but in prior years, because in 2018, when there were a lot of lies and incitement to
00:16:25.700 violence against ICE at that time during the first Trump administration, remember what we were told
00:16:30.820 about family separations and all the hysteria about that. Antifa, really many of the same people that are
00:16:37.700 involved in violence now in Portland, violently overtook the ICE facility in Portland, attacked it,
00:16:46.420 had blocked off every exit and entrance and created a hostage situation. And there aren't very many
00:16:54.260 federal officers who can just mobilize on an instant to go and respond. You know, they have to fly people
00:17:00.340 in, drive people in. It takes a day or two to mobilize that. So for hours, whilst staff inside were calling
00:17:08.580 Portland police 911 for help, the Portland police declined to provide any assistance saying that,
00:17:16.900 well, this is federal property, so it's your problem. Wow. The response this time is a little bit different.
00:17:23.780 We have a new mayor who, you know, he's, he's woke, but he also remembers what happened to
00:17:31.860 Ted Wheeler when Ted Wheeler tried to placate Antifa for many, many years. And the Portland police
00:17:40.580 have responded to the rioters on the street. So at least they're doing something. They're not going into
00:17:45.700 the, on the federal property to try to restore order, but at least the crimes that are being committed
00:17:51.380 immediately in front of the building because the street is shut down and people, Antifa,
00:17:56.500 are bringing blockades and other things into the streets and terrorizing this residential community,
00:18:01.620 by the way. So there were four arrests last night. There were three the night before,
00:18:08.980 a couple of nights ago, there were 10 arrests. So we're just over 15 arrests now from five days of
00:18:15.060 attacks on the ICE facility in Portland. And then in Seattle, it's also really violent. This was
00:18:20.900 not connected to the No Kings protest, even though it fell on the same day. It was just part of the
00:18:26.020 daily violence that federal property and officers and agents face now. So there's a DHS building
00:18:33.700 right by Seattle in a, in a different city called Tukwila. And so Seattle Antifa, after having carrying
00:18:41.220 out multiple nights of arson attacks and vandalism on the federal building downtown, they went to this ICE,
00:18:48.020 this DHS building and created a blockade similar to what they did in Portland in 2018. They were trying
00:18:54.100 to prevent anybody from coming in or out. And there's some viral footage of, you know, these mass
00:19:00.180 militants with their arms locked and these like sort of things that they've dragged onto the street to
00:19:07.780 create a blockade. But what they didn't know was that the, at least in Washington state at this building,
00:19:14.500 there were federal officers who were ready. They were inside and they responded very quickly,
00:19:19.940 shut it down. They pepper sprayed and cleared the crowd, the rioters, and basically kicked open that
00:19:27.540 blockade. And the DHS vehicles, ICE vehicles were able to drive away, potentially with detainees inside,
00:19:35.540 we don't know. And that really angered Antifa. So then at night, they went downtown to where they have been
00:19:41.060 attacking the federal building. They returned to that and started fires, vandalized the building.
00:19:49.140 There were a number of really violent assaults over the weekend on journalists by Seattle Antifa. So
00:19:57.220 Brandy Cruza, who's a really great Seattle-based independent YouTuber, your followers should
00:20:04.420 check out her content. You know, she's this woman who, a young woman who's gone independent now,
00:20:10.980 but she worked for the local, I forget which affiliate, it might've been a Fox affiliate,
00:20:16.500 but she was in legacy media for a long time in Seattle and now she's independent. And she's been
00:20:22.100 quite critical of left-wing political violence. And anytime you do that, you become a target,
00:20:27.620 unfortunately, speaking from experience. And Brandy, she came with security outside that
00:20:32.340 Tukwila facility and the rioters assaulted her, assaulted her security. They tried to blind her
00:20:38.580 with some chemical spray in the eyes. They hurled all this water and liquid and unknown stuff all over
00:20:45.300 her and threatened her. They were quite emboldened and it was caught on video. There were other journalists
00:20:50.740 who recorded it. And then at night, Cam Higby, who's an incredible young citizen journalist who goes
00:21:01.380 across the country at great risk to himself to cover these riots. I mean, you used to cover riots.
00:21:06.580 I used to cover riots. You know how dangerous it is and how, you know, why a lot of people stop
00:21:11.780 because you get targeted. So Cam was undercover and the militants were looking for him. They found him
00:21:19.540 and they beat him. He was very, very lucky that he was wearing a helmet because they were beating
00:21:25.620 him on the head. His helmet was dented. He had to go to the hospital the next day because he was
00:21:32.180 bleeding from his nose when he was sleeping and he's diagnosed with a concussion. So he's lucky that
00:21:37.460 he's alive for one. This is the type of violence in Seattle. The response from the mayor and the
00:21:44.180 governor, you know, Democrats run Washington state at basically every level. So they sort of set the
00:21:50.500 narrative. They're describing these protests as peaceful and their condemnations are only directed
00:21:57.700 towards their political targets. Like a few weeks ago, there were Christians who did a Christian
00:22:03.940 worship rally in Cal Anderson Park, which is where Chaz was. And they were condemned by the mayor and the
00:22:12.900 governor as he's like far right Christian nationalists. And they had nothing really to say about the masked
00:22:20.900 violent organizers who came to attack people. So I reluctantly describe Antifa as an unofficial
00:22:32.180 paramilitary of the Democrats in the sense that the relationship is not official. Like Democrats are not
00:22:38.340 directing Antifa to attack this or do this or that, but rather it's like the Democrats will create the
00:22:44.740 conditions where Antifa feel empowered to be violent and criminal because they know that they'll have
00:22:53.140 sort of the protection of those who are in power. And I think that's what that's what we're seeing now.
00:22:59.220 Man, it's, it's, it is getting really, really crazy out there. This, this, this past weekend,
00:23:02.980 I think is crazy. I think we'll probably end up seeing more this week, but for those that are watching,
00:23:07.460 where can they find you? I am on no comment.com. That's my subset,
00:23:14.340 ngo comment.com. No comment. And then you got an X account? I do. It's Mr. Andy Ngo. Andy,
00:23:22.100 I really do appreciate you joining and explaining all this for us. So thanks for hanging out and we'll,
00:23:27.460 we'll see you next time. Thank you. Have a go on. All right. That was the intrepid journalist,
00:23:34.500 Andy Ngo, who joined us. A little shorter interview today, but you know, and he's a busy
00:23:39.940 guy. He's a busy guy doing a lot of really great work out there. And so in the meantime,
00:23:44.660 we can, we'll just jump over and pick up some of this other news that's been going on. I think
00:23:49.540 probably the more interesting and most notable is the Marines have actively gotten involved on the
00:23:55.740 ground, detaining individuals. And this was the first time in potentially generations, because it is
00:24:00.580 rare that we see U.S. military actually involved with U.S. law enforcement. We have this from the
00:24:07.840 Guardian. U.S. Marines detained civilian in first known instance since Trump deployed troops to L.A.
00:24:14.300 This is from the 13th on Friday. In fact, they say Marines took charge of the Wilshire Federal
00:24:19.500 Building early on Friday in a rare domestic use of U.S. troops after days of protest over immigration
00:24:23.800 raids. Ritter's images showed Marines apprehending a civilian, restraining his hands with zip ties,
00:24:28.840 and then handing him over to civilians from DHS. Asked about the incident, the U.S.'s Northern
00:24:33.960 Command spokesperson said active duty forces may temporarily detain an individual if in specific
00:24:39.060 circumstances. Any temporary detention ends immediately when the individuals can be safely
00:24:44.320 transferred to the custody of appropriate civilian law enforcement. About 200 Marines arrived in L.A.
00:24:49.600 on Friday morning. Of course, we have seen their deployment. And now, of course, the No Kings protests
00:24:54.820 sees violence in some instances, as we explained and as Andy Ngo explained. Not all of the violence
00:25:00.760 of the weekend was associated with the No Kings protests. No Kings is a more of a mainstream liberal
00:25:05.320 event. That being said, you take a look at this instance and we've got ourselves the makings of a
00:25:11.140 very serious scandal. As I mentioned to Andy, I was very shocked to find that when I tweeted about
00:25:19.460 this, people were responding totally confused, having no idea what I was talking about. In one instance,
00:25:24.620 someone thought I was talking about a shooting from five years ago. This happened over the weekend.
00:25:29.940 And as so one of the groups that is organizing with No Kings pulled out, I thought I didn't realize
00:25:36.820 it was a pistol. So this is why we talked to Andy Ngo, right? He tracks the stuff. He's investigating
00:25:41.360 these things. Pulled out a pistol and fired into a crowd indiscriminately at somebody who apparently
00:25:48.560 wasn't doing anything. Now, what I do want to do is look up the open, I'll say this, what are the
00:25:55.300 open carry rules in Utah? Because I'm curious as to what makes what this guy Gamboa did a felony.
00:26:04.260 I don't like the far left, okay? Now, in Utah, 21 and up, permitless open carry is allowed of a loaded
00:26:13.260 or unloaded firearm. I'm assuming this guy, I believe he was 28 years old. The question is, what did
00:26:20.300 the guy they arrested do that was a felony? They even say this from Fox 13, despite not firing the
00:26:27.860 shots. I believe what we're seeing right now, and the reason why this story isn't as well known,
00:26:33.740 is that the liberal organizers of this event were involved in this. Let me pull this one up.
00:26:41.500 We've got this. I want to grab this quote for you and make sure you guys can see it.
00:26:45.000 From UtahNewsDispatch.com, they have a quote. It's in a Facebook post on Sunday morning.
00:26:52.640 Utah 50501, the group that organized the protest, said, quote,
00:26:57.100 quote, our team was directly involved. We have been in direct contact with law enforcement.
00:27:02.940 Some of you seem to think that a keyboard and social media gives you a free pass to be nasty
00:27:06.440 and accusatory. Our teams just had to deal with something extremely traumatizing,
00:27:10.600 and when faced with personal risks to their own lives, chose to run towards the danger.
00:27:15.460 No, it actually sounds like from the evidence we have, they created the danger. The organizers
00:27:21.080 themselves shot and killed a guy and have not been charged. This is insane.
00:27:28.460 They say, we respectfully ask you to refrain from speculation about the alleged shooter's
00:27:31.860 motives and identity. That information will come out soon enough. Hold on, hold on.
00:27:35.960 The shooter's motives and identity? He was part of your group you were involved with,
00:27:40.840 and he was shooting at a guy he was scared of. We know about his motive. Are they implying the guy
00:27:45.240 who didn't fire a shot and had a rifle was a shooter? This is insane. They say it is better to
00:27:51.600 wait for the facts, even though it is difficult given the emotional and charged nature of the
00:27:55.120 incident, the group said in a separate Facebook post. This was a horrific moment of violence in a
00:28:00.340 historic day of thousands of Utahns exercising their rights to protest. Nothing will ever change
00:28:05.460 the undeniable strength of the community. Why aren't the police grabbing the guy who did it?
00:28:12.200 I don't understand, unless they're trying to cover up who this guy is and what was actually going on.
00:28:20.100 As Andy Noe pointed out, there is video that shows this guy. Rifles pointed down and he's running away.
00:28:27.480 Now, I ask you this. They said we were directly involved. That's 50501. They organized the
00:28:33.460 protest. The protest organizers directly involved is their guy who shot. In what reality do you shoot
00:28:38.920 at a man running away? Honest question. If this guy, if the police know there's a guy who's already
00:28:45.800 killed and he's armed and may kill again, yeah. But a person armed running from you does not present
00:28:52.040 an active threat that you can kill him over. This is insane. Now, we are about rounding out this show.
00:28:59.460 I do want to grab some of your rumble rants. Coldtown992 says, Bolton won. I hope not, man.
00:29:07.040 That's in reference to Iran. John says, trolls are thick today. God bless the U.S. and Israel.
00:29:12.660 If Congress declared war, Trump would have no choice but to join the war. He would then only have a say
00:29:17.420 in how it is fought. Indeed. But he could still have it fought in a way that deescalates U.S.
00:29:23.720 involvement. Guido says, I feel like it's less a false flag that is faked and more and more a
00:29:30.460 give as many targets to them as possible and hope they take the bait. I agree with that. I agree with
00:29:33.980 that. Let's see. The default points out that Iran has called for the death of America and and Israel.
00:29:41.460 You don't need to believe the news. You can watch the videos. Indeed. We know that they do this.
00:29:45.620 In fact, the question is, why would the U.S. be involved in a regional conflict? It's really sad to
00:29:53.280 look at what's going on, what's happened in Iran since the revolution. People used to be rather
00:29:57.900 Western. Now they're a deeply fundamentalist Islamic nation. I still don't think the U.S.
00:30:05.500 should be the world police going and telling everyone else how to live their lives.
00:30:09.920 Our sergeant says, the news is covering the two reps that got shot. My liberal local newscaster
00:30:15.720 asked the question, are people emboldened to commit political violence? Because January 6th,
00:30:20.020 rioters had rioters had been pardoned. It's fascinating, isn't it? The left engages in
00:30:26.980 violence endlessly for the past 20 plus years. Remember back at the RNC in, I think it was in
00:30:33.860 Minnesota, where leftists had Molotov cocktails in a van and they arrested a bunch of these guys?
00:30:38.780 I remember that. We then get all of the protests throughout the 2010s. Not necessarily the Occupy
00:30:45.940 movement itself. And I have no problem with, you know, Andy points out, No King's largely peaceful.
00:30:51.860 Something's going on with these guys shooting, that's for sure. The right has one riot, a bad
00:30:57.160 riot for sure, but one riot. They launch a manhunt for these people. They hunt them down, lock them in
00:31:02.980 solitary. And the question is, is the right emboldening people? I don't know. I'd have to think
00:31:11.040 that when a liberal organizer, associate of this group that is doing the organizing, shoots and
00:31:16.920 kills a guy by firing indiscriminately into a crowd and you don't arrest him, you're emboldening
00:31:22.100 violence. It's getting crazy out there, my friends. I don't know where things go. I really don't. I
00:31:28.560 will just tell you all, man. My friends, I do think violence is going to escalate. Younger people
00:31:36.600 are hyperpolarized. They've seen enough and they want action. They want something to be done about it.
00:31:40.480 But the left is more violent and the right is, well, I wouldn't necessarily say that the right
00:31:44.380 is more violent. I would argue the left is more violent. We've seen the riots across the board.
00:31:50.220 We see what they agree with. The right is more action oriented. The right wants the law to be
00:31:55.520 used to go after these people and shut them down and lock them up. Both sides want an escalation in
00:32:00.920 the use of force against their political opponents. I don't see how we escape any of this.
00:32:06.260 It's generational. Now, my friends, we will be sending you all over to join our good friend. I
00:32:12.240 believe we've got Russell Brand today. Let me make sure. Sometimes it's different. Yep, we got
00:32:17.680 Russell Brand gearing up to go live to talk about U.S. involvement in Iran and the assassin in
00:32:24.240 Minnesota, which is another huge story here, by the way. Very little information about. Let me get that
00:32:30.240 raid going for you guys. Make sure you smash the like button. Share the show with everyone. You
00:32:34.760 know, you can follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast. I really do thank you guys for joining
