The Culture War - Tim Pool - UNHINGED Leftist ASSAULTS Journalist On Bus, Man Assaulted SPEAKS OUT ft. Frank Scales

00:00:00.000 What matters most to you?

00:00:02.520 Is it unforgettable adventures?

00:00:05.040 Connections with lifelong friends?

00:00:07.660 Peaceful moments of reflection?

00:00:10.080 Feelings of joy and freedom you can't wait to experience again and again?

00:00:14.920 Or is it the vehicles that help you make all those special moments possible?

00:00:19.360 Whatever your answer is,

00:00:21.080 Toyota is here to bring you closer to the things that matter to you.

00:00:24.840 Because they matter to us too.

00:00:27.300 Toyota. For what matters most.

00:00:30.820 This was the insanity of this woman right here. 0.99

00:00:34.520 Identified as an agitator,

00:00:36.220 as attacking this independent journalist,

00:00:38.320 pepper spraying him, punching him, trying to grab his phone.

00:00:40.980 Take a look at this video. 1.00

00:00:42.580 You talk shit about Islamic people. 1.00

00:00:44.380 You talk shit about black people. 1.00

00:00:46.160 You talk shit about Mexicans. 1.00

00:00:47.620 And you post it on the internet. 1.00

00:00:49.340 Come here, come here.

00:00:50.800 What am I?

00:00:52.080 She doesn't want to be old.

00:00:53.620 You can see her just like crash out.

00:00:57.300 Are you running out? 0.52

00:00:58.500 Are you a racist? 1.00

00:00:59.440 Are you a racist on the fucking internet? 1.00

00:01:01.300 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. 1.00

00:01:03.120 Whoa.

00:01:04.280 Go and see.

00:01:05.860 Why is she mad? 0.92

00:01:07.300 Why? 1.00

00:01:08.060 Because you talk shit about Islamic people. 1.00

00:01:10.160 You talk shit about black people. 1.00

00:01:12.000 You talk shit about Mexicans. 1.00

00:01:12.700 When? 1.00

00:01:13.420 And you post it on the internet.

00:01:15.100 Come here, come here.

00:01:16.260 Come here.

00:01:19.760 Right here.

00:01:24.420 You good?

00:01:25.220 Second pepper spray, baby. 1.00

00:01:26.520 So Frank, total Chad, just eats that pepper spray.

00:01:30.780 Again, this just really illustrates the situation on the streets in the United States.

00:01:34.320 Again, leftists are able to operate effectively with total impunity.

00:01:37.080 Do we really think the DA in Philadelphia is going to come down hard on this girl?

00:01:41.060 Highly doubt it.

00:01:41.780 I highly doubt it.

00:01:42.340 This girl was identified as Pauline Reyes of WHYY.

00:01:47.280 It's a news channel in Philadelphia. 0.71

00:01:51.380 She is, you know, an unhinged leftist. 0.79

00:01:55.260 I think that's a fair categorization here. 1.00

00:01:57.700 So just absolutely insane.

00:01:59.180 Insane.

00:01:59.680 Jack Posobiec obviously sounding the alarm.

00:02:01.460 Why is your news intern going around pepper spraying people on SEPTA buses?

00:02:05.380 Very salient question.

00:02:06.280 So we're going to grab Frank and ask him what he thinks about all of this.

00:02:09.240 Well, for the people watching at home, can you give a quick intro of who you are, what

00:02:12.360 you do, and what happened?

00:02:14.380 Yes.

00:02:14.740 So I am an independent journalist with Surge Media.

00:02:17.700 I actually started my own publication here in Philadelphia.

00:02:20.920 And we've been going to protests.

00:02:22.800 We've been interviewing people on the street for the last few months.

00:02:25.580 Our goal is to spread truth, spread information grounded in truth, faith, and accountability.

00:02:31.360 And we've had a lot of success.

00:02:33.460 And just yesterday, we were actually assaulted on a SEPTA bus.

00:02:38.380 We were coming home from somewhere.

00:02:39.740 I was looking out the window, and a lady behind me started calling me a fascist and a racist

00:02:45.220 because she saw my work online.

00:02:47.820 And she actually tried to take my phone. 0.96

00:02:50.640 She punched me in the back of the head, and then she pepper sprayed me twice. 1.00

00:02:54.000 Dude, dude.

00:02:55.760 Well, I got to say, from the video you ate that pepper spray, that was like a total alpha

00:02:59.440 moment or mad respect for that.

00:03:01.520 That was insane.

00:03:02.940 But the fact that this happened is really just an indication of how ugly things are getting.

00:03:08.040 Obviously, this girl was identified.

00:03:10.600 We see, again, some of the identification circling online.

00:03:16.280 Absolutely insane situation.

00:03:17.500 Obviously, from your accent, I imagine people can tell this happened in Philadelphia.

00:03:20.580 This happened, again, on a public bus.

00:03:24.740 So I'm vaguely aware of Larry Krasner, obviously the DA of Philadelphia, the situation there.

00:03:29.760 I can't imagine you're expecting really any retribution, or maybe not retribution, but any recourse

00:03:35.880 really that's going to occur for this.

00:03:37.860 I mean, it seems like a total leftist hellhole in a lot of ways of Philadelphia.

00:03:43.120 Yeah.

00:03:43.320 So we actually have history.

00:03:44.520 If people go on our social media, they can scroll down and actually see that I confronted

00:03:48.840 Krasner in a public park, and he actually grabbed my phone from me and like shook it and called

00:03:54.800 me anti-American.

00:03:56.440 Now, about a month after that, we were covering a protest at City Hall in Philadelphia when somebody

00:04:02.740 took my phone and smashed it.

00:04:04.880 That person who did that got diversion.

00:04:07.680 So they faced no consequences.

00:04:09.340 Now, the thing about what happened yesterday is it happened on SEPTA, and it's the public

00:04:16.300 transportation organization.

00:04:19.480 So what can happen is the state can come in and prosecute because SEPTA crimes actually

00:04:25.860 got pulled.

00:04:27.240 Well, you know, Larry Krasner could still prosecute crimes on SEPTA, but the state essentially

00:04:31.980 came in and took some authority away because Larry Krasner was doing such a bad job with SEPTA,

00:04:37.620 and then SEPTA gets a lot of state funding.

00:04:39.380 So we're hoping that the state picks it up and actually prosecutes this crime.

00:04:43.820 And we're going to work really hard to make sure that this person faces consequences because

00:04:47.380 we can't keep allowing people to get away with violence.

00:04:50.660 Yeah.

00:04:50.900 We're just going to continue doing it.

00:04:52.760 Yeah, of course.

00:04:53.400 I mean, we're seeing all across the country, obviously, the situation in Minneapolis just

00:04:56.460 continuing.

00:04:57.020 We saw the raid at a church on Sunday.

00:05:00.840 Just absolute insanity is, I don't know, from your perspective, it seems like from my perspective

00:05:04.500 that leftists broadly across the country still think this is 2020.

00:05:08.480 They still think that they're able to operate with complete impunity.

00:05:12.140 Is that what you're seeing when you interact with these people?

00:05:14.640 Do they really just feel like they're invincible in a lot of ways?

00:05:17.880 They do.

00:05:18.500 They do.

00:05:18.880 And it comes down to, like yesterday, that was a personal load.

00:05:21.680 And that was kind of unsettling because what we felt was the weight and the danger in what

00:05:27.480 we do.

00:05:27.720 And we know it's dangerous, right? 1.00

00:05:28.980 We know there's always risks and these people are nuts. 0.88

00:05:31.780 But yesterday, we saw that firsthand from a person who was willing to commit violence 0.54

00:05:36.800 against me.

00:05:38.080 But when they're in a group, they are not scared about consequences.

00:05:42.060 And quite frankly, they feel empowered to act. 0.98

00:05:46.160 But they're cowardly. 1.00

00:05:47.300 They're cowardly people. 0.99

00:05:48.300 And that's why the person who pepper sprayed me, her name's Paulina Reyes. 0.94

00:05:52.120 She actually calls herself a journalist and an intern at Y, which is a media network here

00:05:58.420 in Philadelphia, publicly funded.

00:06:00.200 But she fled. 0.99

00:06:01.160 She fled because she's a coward. 0.99

00:06:03.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:06:03.280 And yeah, they're cowards. 0.98

00:06:05.400 There is something interesting, something to be said about the fact that this girl, obviously 0.99

00:06:10.660 cowardly, I mean crazy, but the fact that she is gainfully employed. 1.00

00:06:15.620 Like, you know, when you see these types of things in the past, you would just talk it 0.98

00:06:18.100 up to like just someone that's just a crazy person.

00:06:20.480 And these are people that are working at news networks.

00:06:23.000 I mean, these are people that, you know, for what it's worth, are occupying positions that

00:06:27.360 are fairly important.

00:06:28.500 I mean, I know she's an intern, but like the fact that this is happening at an organization

00:06:31.460 like Y, I mean, again, they disseminate news. 0.89

00:06:34.500 And we're seeing this all across the country is these aren't just like random people, you

00:06:38.780 know, with nothing to lose per se.

00:06:40.720 Like these are people that have infiltrated a lot of these institutions and are hijacked

00:06:45.100 by this leftist ideology.

00:06:46.460 I mean, that has to be quite alarming, I think, for everyone that someone like this, again,

00:06:51.680 working in a news agency is radicalized like this, where they're literally just assaulting

00:06:56.040 people in public.

00:06:57.860 Yeah.

00:06:58.420 These are the people who are giving people news.

00:07:01.940 These are healthcare workers.

00:07:03.680 These are people in every sector of society.

00:07:05.880 And it goes back to the educational complex.

00:07:08.760 These people get radicalized in college, and then they go on to work in professional jobs

00:07:15.660 in every sector.

00:07:17.360 We see it in healthcare.

00:07:18.620 We see it in media.

00:07:20.640 We see it in politics.

00:07:22.040 We see it everywhere.

00:07:22.920 It's really a danger.

00:07:24.400 And I think that's why it's super important to take back the colleges and essentially show

00:07:31.160 how they're indoctrinating students, because that's really where it starts.

00:07:34.700 Yeah, absolutely.

00:07:36.020 I mean, we saw after Charlie Kirk when all these people were celebrating.

00:07:40.480 And these people that were celebrating, they're posting under their government name.

00:07:44.600 In many cases, some of them are chucking it up on LinkedIn.

00:07:47.200 It was absolute insanity.

00:07:48.840 And so when you would see these people posting these types of things, you would expect to 0.98

00:07:51.460 click on it, and they would just be like a loser.

00:07:53.480 But oftentimes, they would be, again, gamefully employed at fairly influential organizations.

00:07:57.680 And you're just sitting back like, is this really how bad things have gotten?

00:08:01.720 Is this really how much ground we've lost?

00:08:03.060 Because I think when I see something like this, seeing you get assaulted, what I see

00:08:06.540 is I just see, wow, how much ground have we lost?

00:08:09.460 How insane is it that there's such a large contingent of people in the United States that,

00:08:14.240 again, will just quite literally assault you for having just conservative beliefs?

00:08:19.140 Again, beliefs that at least half the country, if not the majority of the country, hold.

00:08:23.260 I mean, attacking someone like you, again, you're someone that has the beliefs of probably...

00:08:29.260 Martha listens to her favorite band all the time, in the car, gym, even sleeping.

00:08:37.560 So when they finally went on tour, Martha bundled her flight and hotel on Expedia to see them live.

00:08:42.700 She saved so much, she got her seat close enough to actually see and hear them.

00:08:47.620 Sort of.

00:08:48.880 You were made to scream from the front row.

00:08:50.820 We were made to quietly save you more.

00:08:53.580 Expedia. Made to travel.

00:08:55.920 Savings vary and subject to availability.

00:08:59.260 A good majority of people watching.

00:09:01.440 I mean, that's just a massive wake-up call, I would think, for everyone.

00:09:05.100 Absolutely.

00:09:05.800 It definitely is.

00:09:06.700 And what's more alarming is that why the media network that she is involved with did not come

00:09:11.700 out and denounce political violence.

00:09:14.360 Community College of Philadelphia, the place she was at school, and I was at school, and

00:09:18.120 that's how I knew her name, because we were both in the same school and we kind of went

00:09:21.640 to the same events at some point.

00:09:23.440 But Community College of Philadelphia did not come out and denounce political violence.

00:09:28.060 These people are allowing this to happen.

00:09:30.940 And we can look at establishment Democrats and we can talk about the current issues with

00:09:35.040 ICE.

00:09:35.860 They are delegitimizing ICE and putting federal agents in danger.

00:09:41.200 And when they say that ICE is committing crimes and all of this different stuff, a Nazi-fied

00:09:46.820 Gestapo, I actually heard Larry Krasner say something to that tune in a meeting I was at listening

00:09:52.360 to him speak, what they are saying to their radicalized base is go out and obstruct.

00:09:58.340 And that is, it's really a whole complex, it's a woke complex, and it includes education,

00:10:04.720 it includes government officials, it includes people in all different professions, and then

00:10:09.620 it includes the radical sect that oftentimes are unemployed, but they're willing to throw their

00:10:14.860 whole lives away to, you know, commit violence against Republicans and commit violence against

00:10:20.220 people who disagree with them.

00:10:21.940 Yeah, absolutely.

00:10:22.940 I mean, like you said with Krasner, we saw in Minnesota with Tim Waltz coming out and saying,

00:10:27.240 they're snatching up, you know, your neighbors of color. 1.00

00:10:29.720 Again, just sort of, you know, indiscreetly posturing ICE as this, again, like this Gestapo

00:10:35.460 going door to door, like kicking on doors or whatever.

00:10:37.420 And all that effectively does is, again, when you're just lying and slandering these guys

00:10:43.500 who, again, are just conducting an operation that was voted on, like, this was a referendum

00:10:48.340 and the American people said, yeah, illegal immigration, not cool that we would like mass

00:10:52.600 deportations now.

00:10:53.540 People at the RNC holding signs up saying mass deportations.

00:10:56.240 ICE is just carrying out, again, a very popular policy, by the way.

00:10:59.180 The majority of Americans are in favor of deporting illegal immigrants.

00:11:02.860 What that effectively does when Krasner and Walsh use that kind of rhetoric is they're, again,

00:11:06.900 indiscreetly kind of putting a target on these guys' backs.

00:11:10.060 And, like, to your point, I mean, people are quite literally willing to destroy their lives

00:11:15.140 if it means carrying out sort of this obstruction that's being called for.

00:11:20.840 It's just really despicable.

00:11:22.820 That's very encouraging to hear that, again, the state might handle this because it seems

00:11:27.180 like a lot of times these DAs, I mean, you see it in Portland and Minneapolis all the time, 0.94

00:11:31.180 is they're pretty much useless.

00:11:32.600 They'll check you in, you get a night of sleep at jail, and then you're out the next morning.

00:11:37.560 Yeah, yeah, it's a good state for them a lot of the times.

00:11:40.180 Good experience.

00:11:41.240 But, you know, what we've learned is these people need to be held accountable.

00:11:44.140 So we're going to do everything we can to make sure that this person is held accountable

00:11:47.960 to the high extent of the law.

00:11:50.200 She assaulted me. 1.00

00:11:51.300 It was aggravated assault.

00:11:52.660 She used pepper spray in an enclosed space. 1.00

00:11:55.140 She didn't only endanger me.

00:11:57.060 She endangered everyone on that bus using that pepper spray for offensive purposes. 1.00

00:12:01.380 Mm-hmm.

00:12:02.220 Yeah.

00:12:02.700 Well, she was calling you like a racist and all these different things.

00:12:07.000 I'm talking to you now.

00:12:07.980 You seem like a really nice guy.

00:12:10.540 What do you – I mean, because obviously they're just going to call anyone racist for

00:12:13.840 the most part if you're a conservative or even broadly right-wing in any way.

00:12:18.660 What specifically – what was her gripe with you?

00:12:21.320 Like, is there any, like, specific instance?

00:12:22.920 Or, again, is this just, like, generalized?

00:12:24.620 You're a conservative.

00:12:25.820 Boom.

00:12:26.120 So I think that the fact that we're having success and we're actually showing people

00:12:32.240 what's happening on the ground and we're exposing the radical left for who they are,

00:12:36.840 the violent people who they are, and the fact that a lot of these protesters, the ones

00:12:40.560 who aren't particularly violent, don't even know why they're protesting.

00:12:44.240 And we have tons of interviews backing that claim up.

00:12:47.120 I think she looked at my success and she was mad and jealous and, you know, probably mad

00:12:52.540 that she isn't having the same amount of success and pushing her beliefs and whatnot.

00:12:58.200 And it was really just a rage that I think overtook her, especially when she couldn't

00:13:03.360 bait me into a screaming match, which she tried to do when she first saw me. 1.00

00:13:09.440 I turned around and I was just looking out the window of the bus. 0.77

00:13:12.700 I turned around and she was saying, how does it feel to be a racist, a fascist?

00:13:17.600 And I said, word for word, I disagree with your characterization about what I do.

00:13:22.540 But I hope you're having a good day.

00:13:24.200 Yeah.

00:13:24.480 And she really got more aggressive. 0.91

00:13:26.840 And that's when I pulled out my phone.

00:13:28.180 And thankfully, we got it all on camera.

00:13:30.420 Yeah.

00:13:30.820 But yeah, it escalated very quickly.

00:13:32.480 And a lot of the times it comes when you won't stoop down to their level, they get very,

00:13:39.600 very angry.

00:13:40.660 So that's something we really pride ourselves on at Surge Philly.

00:13:44.020 And anybody can find us at surgemedia.us.

00:13:46.480 We pride ourselves on acting in principle and not stooping down to their level.

00:13:51.140 So yeah, absolutely.

00:13:52.200 I mean, yeah, you guys kept your cool.

00:13:55.080 And again, I mean, that's why the story is going everywhere.

00:13:57.760 Because again, you guys kept our cool.

00:13:59.120 What she was trying to do is drag you down to her level, like you said. 0.99

00:14:02.820 But I mean, that's what's so alarming is because, you know, as far as I can tell,

00:14:06.080 your job effectively is just document what these people are doing.

00:14:10.920 And just the fact that like, you know, they say like sunlight is the greatest in disinfectant.

00:14:14.620 You know, it's the same thing as, again, all you're doing is documenting what they're doing.

00:14:20.040 It's like, I'm just showing people at home who maybe aren't on the street seeing this,

00:14:24.880 what you guys are up to.

00:14:26.020 And just the sheer fact of documenting what's going on is enough for these people to completely

00:14:30.240 crash out.

00:14:31.620 That's really like, it's almost demonic in some way.

00:14:34.440 It's really disturbing, disturbing behavior.

00:14:36.260 Well, it shows, and this can go back all the way into the fact that these people don't

00:14:41.700 actually believe in a higher power.

00:14:43.740 But essentially, they've replaced God with a cult belief, a Marxist cult-like belief, where

00:14:52.000 it's, you know, this is the only thing that's right.

00:14:54.920 And anybody who opposes this is an enemy.

00:14:59.100 And not only an enemy ideologically, but also an enemy to their core. 1.00

00:15:05.460 They need to be eliminated. 0.97

00:15:06.800 And that's how these people think. 0.98

00:15:08.260 And that's why they get so violent.

00:15:09.820 But when you approach them, and what I believe in is spreading truth.

00:15:13.380 I go to these protests.

00:15:14.980 I talk to people with the intention to figure out why they're there and what they actually

00:15:19.560 believe.

00:15:20.780 And, you know, they don't believe in that.

00:15:23.500 When you approach them and ask them questions, they meet you with hostility because it's a cult.

00:15:29.860 And this goes back to, well, why can't they answer questions about what they believe?

00:15:33.680 And it's because they cancel their own.

00:15:37.940 In their own circles, if they voice a opposing opinion, they get canceled.

00:15:43.980 They get kicked out of their own group.

00:15:45.460 So they're actually scared of each other.

00:15:47.700 So when they go out in the real world and meet people who actually have a different opinion,

00:15:54.720 they don't know how to handle that.

00:15:57.080 They don't know how to respond.

00:15:58.280 And they treat those people as enemies.

00:16:00.880 Yeah.

00:16:01.200 Yeah.

00:16:01.400 I was just clear that I think of all the adjectives that you could correctly sort of prescribe

00:16:06.340 for these people.

00:16:07.440 I think the number one that comes to mind is low impulse control.

00:16:09.960 Like they literally just will crash out at the drop of a hat.

00:16:13.620 And it's really just unbelievable to watch in real time, watching it again manifest here

00:16:17.840 in an actual assault.

00:16:19.780 I mean, it's just absolutely remarkable.

00:16:21.420 But I mean, that's a great point is, I mean, these people really don't have sort of a guiding

00:16:26.200 ideology.

00:16:26.920 They don't have really a purpose.

00:16:29.300 And that's why they just fill it with radical politics.

00:16:32.480 They don't have anything else really going on in their lives that would make it worthwhile

00:16:38.400 for them to, again, work in any other capacity in life.

00:16:41.980 The only thing that really gets them up in the morning that sort of provides them with any

00:16:46.060 purpose or meaning whatsoever is this idea that there's a revolution going on and that people

00:16:51.360 like you, people like me, people like people watching at home are the only thing standing

00:16:54.980 between them and like a perfect utopian society.

00:16:57.900 That's a pretty powerful, again, it's a pretty powerful motivating force for these people.

00:17:02.660 And I think that's why you're seeing an escalation in violence over the last few years.

00:17:06.380 But just in the last few weeks, I mean, these people are clearly down for the cause.

00:17:11.100 This isn't just people that get caught up or swept in it.

00:17:13.440 I mean, that to a degree happened in 2020.

00:17:15.460 These are people that are quite literally ideologues.

00:17:17.660 They quite literally have a vision for America, a really pernicious one, but they have a vision

00:17:21.820 for America.

00:17:22.720 And again, they just view us as like in the way.

00:17:25.940 And that's really disturbing.

00:17:27.560 And I think a lot of people now at home sort of see this as well.

00:17:31.600 And, you know, our goal is to depict what's happening.

00:17:34.180 And that is exactly what's happening.

00:17:36.520 So we're going to keep going no matter what they can, they can pepper spray me, they can

00:17:39.980 mace me.

00:17:40.520 And the reason why I didn't react super badly was because I was actually pepper sprayed last

00:17:45.280 week at a protest.

00:17:46.480 We got attacked.

00:17:48.160 You know, somebody tried to punch me and then they pepper sprayed me.

00:17:50.720 And thankfully, the cops got me out of that protest and to safety.

00:17:56.140 But yeah, it was pepper sprayed last week.

00:17:57.480 And I had to go to the hospital to get my eyes rinsed out because they said it could have

00:18:01.020 been bleach.

00:18:01.960 So this week when they pepper sprayed me, when she pepper sprayed me, I was kind of like,

00:18:05.280 OK, this happened last week.

00:18:07.260 Just another day at the office.

00:18:08.800 Yeah, yeah, dude.

00:18:11.260 Well, so the situation in Philly, has there always I mean, I imagine, you know, I remember

00:18:16.060 from 2020, but has there always been this kind of hotbed of less leftist activity?

00:18:21.260 And, you know, in addition to that, has it sort of kicked up in conjunction with what's

00:18:25.100 going on in Minneapolis?

00:18:25.820 Or is it kind of a separate scene, I guess, for lack of a better word?

00:18:29.920 So it's always been here and it's particularly violent here in Philadelphia because there's

00:18:35.300 a radical network and a lot of it is based around the Palestinian movement.

00:18:39.520 That's where they got started.

00:18:40.920 So we actually went to like a free Sudan rally just to ask questions.

00:18:45.400 And we were chased by somebody wielding a Palestinian flag.

00:18:49.960 We were threatened with assault.

00:18:52.100 Somebody said they were going to headbutt me and I had to be careful walking home.

00:18:55.840 And that was a few months ago.

00:18:56.980 And that's when my phone wore a month ago.

00:18:59.240 And that's when my phone was actually smashed by somebody.

00:19:02.880 So we've seen this at almost every protest we've been at in Philly.

00:19:06.760 It's very, very violent here.

00:19:08.760 And we see all the radicals now moving to the issue of ICE because that's what the establishment

00:19:15.180 Democrats are saying.

00:19:16.280 They're talking about ICE constantly.

00:19:18.480 It's all over the news.

00:19:19.460 So all these people who would be violent no matter what are now focused on ICE.

00:19:24.360 Are these people, I imagine they have to be emboldened by Krasner.

00:19:29.100 I mean, the fact that they probably perceive, again, that they will be able to operate with

00:19:32.460 impunity because, again, maybe they're not part of the same organizations directly, but

00:19:37.840 they do have a similar guiding ideology.

00:19:40.540 I think the Democrat Party and these leftist agitators, when you look at the rhetoric, look

00:19:43.980 at their enemies and their common goals, it is tough to decipher, again, the ideology.

00:19:48.780 I'm not saying necessarily that people like Krasner, people like Tim Woltz are out in the

00:19:52.680 streets committing crimes per se, but there's no question that they're on the same page.

00:19:58.720 Yeah, it's the rhetoric.

00:19:59.920 It comes down to how they say certain things, calling ICE a Gestapo, saying that Republicans

00:20:06.140 are Nazis, saying that Republicans, including me, I got called anti-American by Larry Krasner.

00:20:11.420 Well, that's calling me an enemy, and his followers are going to go out there, and they're going

00:20:16.800 to attack because they don't have anything to lose, unlike Krasner and the establishment

00:20:20.820 Democrats.

00:20:21.920 Just after we went to a town hall with Krasner, where Krasner was saying things, and this was

00:20:26.920 right after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, he was calling Republicans essentially evil

00:20:32.040 people.

00:20:32.680 I stood up and I said, stop this.

00:20:34.240 You can disagree without calling us evil, without saying we're anti-American, without

00:20:39.300 questioning our patriotism.

00:20:41.760 And the next town hall, they actually shielded the door.

00:20:46.460 And this was somebody who was advising Larry Krasner on LGBTQ affairs, an ally of Larry Krasner,

00:20:53.880 with a bullhorn saying, you need to be taught a lesson.

00:20:57.700 You're not coming in here guarding me from entering his town hall.

00:21:01.460 And you can find that video on surge, philly, or frank.scales on Instagram.

00:21:05.700 Look up our website, surgemedia.us, and you'll find our social medias.

00:21:09.860 But yeah, I mean, these radicals are empowered by Larry Krasner.

00:21:14.360 And another thing is that they don't face any consequences.

00:21:18.360 It comes back to accountability.

00:21:20.180 If people aren't being held accountable, they're going to be empowered to continue acting poorly.

00:21:25.820 Larry Krasner does not hold criminals or people who commit political violence.

00:21:32.280 And at least in my case, where my phone was smashed on the ground, the woman was given 1.00

00:21:36.620 diversion.

00:21:37.420 She was not held accountable.

00:21:38.860 When you don't hold people accountable, they feel empowered to keep committing the acts that

00:21:45.300 they were before and keep with the poor behavior.

00:21:47.920 And that's what we're seeing in Philadelphia across the board.

00:21:51.200 Like, that's what's so frustrating when you hear about these DAs and you meet guys from

00:21:55.500 Philly, guys from Baltimore, from New York.

00:21:57.620 And you name it.

00:21:58.580 You give me an American city.

00:21:59.740 You talk to someone from there that's a total patriot.

00:22:02.140 And they're describing the situation with their DA.

00:22:05.060 And it's like that scene from Toy Story where Buzz, he looks on the shelf and he realizes

00:22:09.800 there's a million other Buzz Lightyears.

00:22:11.600 It's the same thing with these DAs when they're like, hey, we're light on crime.

00:22:15.040 We're letting leftists operate with total impunity.

00:22:16.940 It's like, yeah, there's a million DAs all across the country that are operating the same way.

00:22:20.380 And it just really illustrates how bad the United States has really gotten and that these

00:22:25.500 people, again, this is kind of comes back.

00:22:27.140 I know it's kind of a meme at this point, but like, it really does emphasize the importance

00:22:30.420 of guys like you exposing what's going on at the local level.

00:22:33.580 Because again, so many people, you know, that engage with conservative media, they want to

00:22:38.560 hear about what's going on with Trump.

00:22:40.020 I mean, like this morning with my show, I talked about the Greenland situation, these sorts of

00:22:44.280 things.

00:22:44.940 But when you really think about what's going to impact you on a day-to-day basis, where is going

00:22:49.140 to be like the obvious impact on your life, it's your DA, yeah, it's your city councilman

00:22:53.840 or councilwoman, it's your assemblyman, your mayor.

00:22:56.400 Like these are the people that, again, on a day-to-day basis are going to be massive disruptions

00:23:01.280 or potentially benefit, you know, beneficiaries for your life.

00:23:04.940 I think that's why the work people like you are doing is just so vital.

00:23:09.220 Yeah, and I will never, ever stop.

00:23:12.380 Again, they can do whatever they want.

00:23:14.220 As the great James O'Keefe said, my price is my life, and I feel the same way.

00:23:18.400 This is super important.

00:23:19.960 People have died.

00:23:20.820 People have risked their life, liberty, and sacred honor for this country.

00:23:25.560 And I'm going to do the same thing.

00:23:27.600 I think that the work we're doing as independent journalists, and there are many people out there

00:23:31.340 doing this work is super important because, like you said, it's gotten so bad in America

00:23:37.180 because what they've realized is that they don't actually need to change the law.

00:23:41.680 They need to be in charge of enforcing it.

00:23:45.260 So you see all of these leftist DAs that got propped up across the country who aren't enforcing

00:23:51.160 the law, and people usually don't look there.

00:23:54.420 So it really flies under the radar, but it's affecting people's lives in ways that are

00:24:01.020 horrible.

00:24:01.720 People are dying.

00:24:03.160 You look at Irina Zarutska, and she's not mentioned nearly as much as she should be,

00:24:08.140 but that gentleman, and I don't even want to call him a gentleman. 0.81

00:24:10.900 He was an animal. 0.94

00:24:11.980 But the man who killed her was a prior criminal. 0.89

00:24:17.480 They had plenty of chances to put that man away, and they didn't.

00:24:21.680 And that came down to local politics.

00:24:23.220 You look at Cata Scott in Philadelphia, beautiful young woman, great life ahead of her.

00:24:29.780 She was killed by somebody who was already caught on strangulation and kidnapping charges,

00:24:35.140 but they let him off.

00:24:36.860 Keon King, they let Keon King go.

00:24:39.880 They let him go to go kill Cata Scott, allegedly kill Cata Scott.

00:24:44.140 And that could have been prevented.

00:24:45.900 If we had law and order in these cities, these horrible events could be prevented.

00:24:50.800 Yeah, totally.

00:24:51.200 I mean, yeah, you thumb through the Philadelphia City Code or Charlotte or wherever.

00:24:55.080 The laws are all there.

00:24:56.060 We could turn this off tomorrow.

00:24:57.640 This is all optional.

00:24:58.980 But it's these, like you said, these DAs just, again, operating in opposition to law and order

00:25:03.980 and these sorts of things.

00:25:05.260 I guess we're kind of coming to a close here.

00:25:08.000 What would be your prescription, obviously, being a Philadelphia guy?

00:25:11.260 For all the people in the audience that live in these cities, I know the rhetoric among

00:25:16.640 conservatives is get out of the cities, but a lot of people want to see their cities do

00:25:20.740 well.

00:25:21.200 Again, as a country, our cities are vital to our economy, our culture, these sorts of

00:25:25.820 things.

00:25:26.420 What would be your prescription for someone living in a city like Philadelphia or New York

00:25:30.480 or Chicago, these sorts of places, for how they can sort of work or operate, again, to

00:25:36.020 move their city in the right direction?

00:25:37.580 Because I think a lot of people are very, rightfully so, blackpilled on our cities.

00:25:41.640 I would say, first of all, I would say fight, fight, fight.

00:25:44.340 The cities are where we are going to determine if we enter a golden age of America or not.

00:25:49.780 So we need to stand up and we need to fight because the people before us, again, they

00:25:54.360 sacrifice their life, liberty, and their sacred honor for this country.

00:25:58.860 So we can't stand down.

00:26:00.600 We can't just give radicals and violent criminals a place to be in their own land.

00:26:05.200 That's wrong.

00:26:05.760 Our cities are super important and they're a huge part of what makes America great and

00:26:10.440 what will make America great again.

00:26:13.520 And secondly, I would say there are 180,000 registered Republicans in the city of Philadelphia

00:26:19.120 about 220,000 people vote to elect the mayor.

00:26:23.060 So if all the Republicans get out to vote, at least in the city of Philadelphia, Republicans

00:26:27.580 are going to have serious sway.

00:26:29.840 And then you look at the Democrats.

00:26:31.060 A lot of people are registered Democrat.

00:26:32.820 And I talk to these people.

00:26:34.700 They're registered Democrat because they have to be for their jobs.

00:26:38.240 These are Democrats.

00:26:39.320 The Democratic machine has such a stranglehold in these cities.

00:26:42.540 A lot of them people are willing to vote Republican.

00:26:45.520 So I would say we can't give up on the cities.

00:26:47.280 And there's a chance to make real ground in all of these cities.

00:26:51.160 And I know for a fact it can happen in Philadelphia.

00:26:53.800 And I'm going to see to it that we keep reporting truth on the ground, getting what's actually

00:26:58.060 happening to people through social media.

00:27:01.280 And if anybody wants to support that mission, surgemedia.us.

00:27:05.300 And, you know, you can donate or you can just like and share our videos.

00:27:09.840 We're going to keep going.

00:27:11.220 I love it, dude.

00:27:11.920 Total patriot.

00:27:12.680 Well, before I let you go, I got to ask you again, because there's so much anti-city rhetoric,

00:27:17.540 I think, in the conservative media space right now.

00:27:19.480 Tell me what you love about Philadelphia.

00:27:21.060 What makes Philadelphians, Philadelphiers, whatever you guys use as a denonym, what makes you guys

00:27:26.720 special?

00:27:27.420 Because, you know, so much history in Philadelphia.

00:27:29.460 But like give the people a white bill.

00:27:31.220 Why is Philly so vital and worth fighting for?

00:27:35.540 I would say the people.

00:27:37.200 I would say we have some radicals, but the community in Philadelphia and these people,

00:27:41.520 again, are registered Democrats.

00:27:42.920 They are down to earth, hardworking people.

00:27:45.840 And they make this country run.

00:27:47.420 And a lot of them are willing to vote Republican.

00:27:49.740 But I love the people.

00:27:51.020 They support me.

00:27:52.200 They stop me on the street.

00:27:53.460 They shake my hand.

00:27:55.360 One person even bought me a coffee a couple of weeks ago.

00:27:57.780 But the people here are awesome.

00:28:00.180 And I'm happy to live here.

00:28:02.000 We have a very livable city in Philadelphia.

00:28:05.600 You look at places like New York, where it's skyscraper, skyscraper.

00:28:09.800 Philadelphia is a good place to live.

00:28:11.880 And it's close to Washington, D.C. and New York.

00:28:15.000 So Philadelphia can really become a law and order city.

00:28:19.420 We're probably going to be the best city in the United States of America.

00:28:22.620 It's just going to take a lot of work.

00:28:24.320 I love it, dude.

00:28:24.800 I love it.

00:28:25.240 Well, Frank, where can people find you?

00:28:28.760 Surgemedia.us.

00:28:30.460 People can find our social medias on that website.

00:28:33.680 Also, if you just want to go to social media, frank.scales on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok,

00:28:40.660 or SurgePhilly on social medias.

00:28:44.440 Instagram, TikTok, Facebook.

00:28:46.320 Not Facebook.

00:28:46.940 Instagram and TikTok, SurgePhilly.

00:28:48.740 But frank.scales, surgemedia.us.

00:28:52.000 That's our website.

00:28:53.360 I love it.

00:28:53.820 Everyone go follow Frank, dude.

00:28:54.920 I can't give you a go birds, but I'm really appreciative of you hopping on the show, man.

00:28:58.720 I really appreciate it.

00:28:59.980 I will.

00:29:00.700 Go birds.

00:29:02.020 See you, dude.

00:29:02.540 Appreciate you.

00:29:03.260 Thank you for having me.

00:29:04.420 Yeah, man.

00:29:04.900 It's an honor.

00:29:06.240 All righty.

00:29:06.660 Well, that was the great Frank Scales.

00:29:08.700 Yeah, that was really, it was cool to get him.

00:29:11.340 I mean, the story was everywhere.

00:29:12.240 It was all over my For You page.

00:29:13.920 It's just absolutely insane what's going on in this country.

00:29:16.440 It's one of those things that puts in perspective is that literally it could be anyone.

00:29:20.940 Frank is on the ground.

00:29:22.900 He's doing the work and everything.

00:29:24.640 But she views Frank the same way that she views you watching at home.

00:29:28.140 Anyone that is not down with the cause for these guys is an enemy, quite frankly.
