00:00:46.740 So that's why I decided to make things easier by bundling together this week's top five stories

00:00:51.240 and releasing them every Friday.

00:00:53.260 The goal of this episode is to help you catch up on what you may have missed this week.

00:00:57.000 So with that, here are this week's top five stories.

00:01:00.340 All right. Here's a story we haven't had a chance to talk about yet.

00:01:03.160 The New York Post reports a Michigan man fatally shot a teen who broke into his garage

00:01:06.780 and is now facing a manslaughter rap, sparking controversy over the state's Stand Your Ground law.

00:01:11.200 Savon Wilson, 17, was with six other mainly teenagers

00:01:15.260 when the group broke into Dayton Napton's garage in White Lake shortly after 1 a.m. on July 8th.

00:01:23.000 Napton, 24, got an alert from his home security system, grabbed a 9mm gun, ran outside,

00:01:28.520 fired two shots into the garage through a windowless door, striking Wilson, according to the prosecutors.

00:01:32.500 As the group fled, Napton fired five more shots before going back into his house, reloading his gun,

00:01:36.960 and returning outside.

00:01:38.800 Wilson's father, Sean Madden, said Savon was running away and got shot.

00:01:46.700 Another teenager in the group also was shot in the leg.

00:01:49.360 White Lake Township police officers responded to the scene after being notified of two victims

00:01:53.000 with bullet wounds in Commerce Township.

00:01:58.400 Faces up to 15 years behind bars for the top charge.

00:02:01.800 But Savon's family said they want Napton charged with murder.

00:02:03.980 It doesn't make sense that it wasn't done out of malice and for them to charge him with manslaughter

00:02:08.400 when everything in the report suggests there was malicious intent,

00:02:11.020 said Wilson's sister, Armani Madden.

00:02:15.640 And meanwhile, a defense attorney says that, as you would expect,

00:02:19.880 that this is all, this is, that he didn't do anything wrong,

00:02:23.140 and that also mentioning that there had been other break-ins at Napton's house before.

00:02:27.820 Okay, so, just to review, a guy in Michigan, Dayton Napton, was the victim of multiple burglaries,

00:02:34.980 apparently.

00:02:35.920 Cops didn't do anything.

00:02:37.340 Nobody cared.

00:02:38.500 No one's helping.

00:02:39.360 And then one night, about 1 a.m., Savon Wilson and his buddies break into Napton's garage.

00:02:45.360 He runs out, tired of being a victim, right, tired of having his stuff stolen,

00:02:50.320 tired of being helpless, fires through the door of the garage,

00:02:53.340 fires a few more times as the criminals are fleeing.

00:02:55.700 Wilson is killed by one of the bullets.

00:02:57.260 It's not clear to me from that write-up if he was killed.

00:03:00.520 It says he was hit through the door, and then it says he kept firing as they were running away.

00:03:06.040 Was he killed from the initial shot through the door,

00:03:09.500 or was he killed with another shot when he was running away?

00:03:11.520 Maybe that is known, but I didn't see it in the article.

00:03:14.900 Regardless, now the same judicial system that had no interest in helping this law-abiding citizen,

00:03:20.740 who was the victim of property theft, you know, a number of times,

00:03:27.260 will instead try to throw him in prison and destroy his life.

00:03:31.140 So this is happening to him.

00:03:32.380 He goes to the cops and says, can you do something?

00:03:34.040 They say, eh, no, we can't really do anything.

00:03:36.140 And then he says, okay, well, I guess I have to do something,

00:03:39.600 or otherwise I'm just going to get stolen from you.

00:03:41.640 Otherwise, I'm just going to be a victim every day for the rest of my life.

00:03:44.700 And now the system comes back around and says, oh, well, you weren't supposed to do that, though.

00:03:49.420 So guess what?

00:03:50.380 Your life is ruined.

00:03:54.040 And meanwhile, if this had gone the other way,

00:03:57.480 and Savon Wilson had killed Dayton Napton in the process of robbing his house,

00:04:02.440 he would not get 15 years in prison for that.

00:04:05.440 And we all know that.

00:04:06.180 Especially at 17, he would have been out by the time he was like 25.

00:04:12.480 Right?

00:04:12.740 He would have gotten like seven or eight years in prison.

00:04:15.480 And so there's going to be a stiffer penalty for Dayton Napton for killing a burglar

00:04:20.580 than there would have been if the burglar killed him.

00:04:22.660 That's the world we live in.

00:04:24.120 And needless to say, I find this all to be horrendously unjust.

00:04:26.840 I am entirely on Dayton Napton's side with no reservation at all.

00:04:32.960 How could you not be?

00:04:33.720 I mean, what kind of twisted freak would you have to be

00:04:37.180 to want to put this guy away in jail for 15 years for trying to protect his own property?

00:04:44.060 Now, unfortunately, I'm afraid that he may end up with 12 of those twisted freaks on his jury.

00:04:49.680 I mean, who knows?

00:04:51.340 But we'll see.

00:04:53.740 And I don't want to hear, oh, but he shot through the door.

00:04:56.320 He kept firing as they ran away.

00:04:58.460 Okay, so?

00:05:00.040 And?

00:05:00.400 I don't want to hear any, well, you know, normally, but he took it a little too far.

00:05:07.440 He was kept firing.

00:05:09.840 So?

00:05:13.140 I mean, he doesn't know what they're doing.

00:05:15.720 They could be running to get a gun.

00:05:18.180 Right?

00:05:18.900 They could have a gun stash somewhere.

00:05:20.800 They could be trying to run in different, there's multiple people.

00:05:22.760 They could be running in different directions to try to surround him.

00:05:26.260 They could be doing anything.

00:05:28.680 He doesn't know.

00:05:29.280 He has no idea.

00:05:31.940 All he knows is that there are multiple criminals on his property at 1 a.m.

00:05:35.780 And he knows they're criminals because they broke into his garage.

00:05:40.040 So, by definition, they're criminals.

00:05:41.100 So, that's all he knows.

00:05:42.500 He knows that it's 1 o'clock in the morning.

00:05:44.240 There are multiple, there's a gang of criminals on my property.

00:05:49.200 They've broken in, and that's all I know.

00:05:52.920 And so, I need to stop them with whatever means I have available to me.

00:06:00.980 The idea that it's the onus, like the onus is on the homeowner to show restraint in order to preserve the lives of people who have broken into his property in the middle of the night, that is just pure madness to me.

00:06:15.280 I mean, the full benefit of the doubt should go to the homeowner, the victim of the crime, full benefit of the doubt.

00:06:24.660 Now, I admit that I'm extreme when it comes to this.

00:06:30.520 I admit that.

00:06:31.120 Like, if it were up to me, you would essentially have carte blanche to respond however you see fit to somebody who breaks into your house.

00:06:43.440 But if it were up to me, legally, you would, it's just like, well, okay, you handle that literally however you want.

00:06:49.880 They came into your house to take your property.

00:06:53.160 They came into your house with sinister intent.

00:06:54.960 And, you know, if it were up to me and I'm in charge of, and, you know, I'm making the laws, it's like, okay, well, I don't know.

00:07:05.300 Don't ask, don't tell.

00:07:06.900 That's, you handle that however you want to handle it.

00:07:10.340 Now, I'm not saying that you have moral carte blanche necessarily.

00:07:13.940 There are things you could do conceivably in that scenario that would be immoral.

00:07:17.820 But as a matter of law, if it were up to me, the law would be simple.

00:07:21.140 Break into someone's home, and whatever happens to you next is your fault.

00:07:27.100 We're not getting involved.

00:07:29.700 Okay?

00:07:30.620 The law isn't intervening to protect you when you decided to break into somebody's house.

00:07:35.100 So if you, you know, if you ended up, like, kidnapped in the basement or something, if you stumbled into a horror movie scenario, okay,

00:07:43.180 if you made a mistake and broke into the house of a horror movie villain, sorry about your luck.

00:07:51.820 If you call, if it were up to me, you call the cops, and you say, I'm trapped in this basement.

00:07:55.540 There's a guy with a ski mask and a, you know, it's like a Stephen King.

00:08:01.600 And then we would say, well, how did you get in the basement?

00:08:03.340 Oh, I broke in.

00:08:04.040 Okay, well, click.

00:08:06.680 All right, well, better figure out your way out of that, out of that bind.

00:08:11.200 Probably shouldn't have broken into the house.

00:08:14.740 What are we going to do?

00:08:15.520 Send the cops to rescue you?

00:08:16.800 We're going to put them in harm's way because you decided to break in?

00:08:18.980 Sorry, no.

00:08:20.480 Some lessons you learned the hard way, son.

00:08:24.640 But I'm extreme, I admit.

00:08:25.920 I mean, if it were up to me, if someone broke into your house and you, like, enslaved them and made them do your laundry and wash your dishes, the law would not intervene.

00:08:37.980 I mean, that would be wrong morally.

00:08:39.420 Don't get me wrong.

00:08:40.260 Like, you should not enslave burglars.

00:08:41.940 I'm not, to be clear, I'm not morally defending that.

00:08:44.820 But I'm saying the law just would not get involved.

00:08:48.080 Full-on Wild West situation for people who enter your home or your property illegally.

00:08:54.620 Full-on Wild West is what, if it were up to me, that's what it would be.

00:09:01.540 Extreme.

00:09:02.460 I'm not in charge, so the law doesn't quite work that way, I realize.

00:09:05.900 And yet, even under the current law, under the current law, I still think this guy should not be facing any prison time and should not have been charged at all.

00:09:18.500 He was reacting in the moment, protecting his property, in reasonable fear for his life.

00:09:26.420 No debate about that.

00:09:29.180 Okay, he shouldn't even need to prove, well, can you prove you're in reasonable fear?

00:09:33.400 Yeah, they're on my property, it's one o'clock in the morning.

00:09:35.900 Okay, there's a gang of people on my property, one o'clock in the morning.

00:09:38.220 I'm in fear for my life.

00:09:40.760 Automatically.

00:09:41.940 So, of course, as anybody would be.

00:09:44.320 So, fear for your life, person's on your property, they don't belong there, and he's acting in defense of himself and his property in a reasonable way.

00:09:54.120 And you could say, well, he should have stopped shooting, but he fired three more shots than he should have.

00:09:59.140 Okay, whatever.

00:09:59.820 I mean, benefit of the doubt in this case.

00:10:04.200 And don't tell me that, well, they have no choice.

00:10:07.400 The law is the law.

00:10:08.260 Like, even if I agreed that the law in Michigan makes it so that technically, you know, like technically he violated the law in Michigan, which I'm not convinced of that.

00:10:19.540 But even if I agreed with that.

00:10:20.680 So, what are you talking about?

00:10:25.160 The court system all the time decides to go easy on people, decides to give them a second chance, right?

00:10:32.340 Is empathetic, is compassionate.

00:10:35.500 Says, well, let's understand it from there.

00:10:37.420 Yeah, they broke the law.

00:10:39.220 Yeah, they carjacked.

00:10:40.200 But hey, you know, they had a hard life or whatever.

00:10:43.920 The court system does that all the time.

00:10:45.420 So, for once, why can't that go the other way?

00:10:50.380 For once, why can't that go, why can't that be applied to an actual law-abiding person who you would want living in your neighborhood?

00:11:02.600 That should be the test.

00:11:03.700 Would anyone, if they would just let this guy off the hook, would anyone feel nervous about having this guy living next to you?

00:11:10.260 I wouldn't.

00:11:10.960 Why would you?

00:11:11.400 Just, like, don't, I mean, are you planning a break into his house?

00:11:15.980 I mean, if you're planning on that, then I'd be nervous about it.

00:11:18.100 But mind your own damn business.

00:11:20.440 Stay out of the guy's house, unless you were invited, and you got nothing to worry about.

00:11:27.540 In fact, I'd prefer to live next door to someone who's willing to use deadly force on burglars.

00:11:35.040 I'm willing to.

00:11:36.100 I'd like to have as many people in the neighborhood as possible that I know are willing to do that.

00:11:41.400 Because you know what happens next?

00:11:43.620 This neighborhood's not getting burglarized anymore.

00:11:45.960 Okay, the burglars are going to go elsewhere.

00:11:48.140 They're not coming here.

00:11:50.220 And so that's the way that I would look at this.

00:11:54.040 And also, look, people are just, people are fed up with being victims.

00:11:59.080 It's as simple as that.

00:12:00.120 They're just fed up with it.

00:12:04.340 Rinse takes your laundry and hand delivers it to your door.

00:12:07.500 Expertly cleaned and folded.

00:12:09.080 So you could take the time once spent folding and sorting and waiting to finally pursue a whole new version of you.

00:12:15.120 Like tea time you.

00:12:17.160 Mmm.

00:12:17.920 Or this tea time you.

00:12:20.520 Or even this tea time you.

00:12:23.020 So did you hear about Dave?

00:12:24.220 Or even tea time, tea time, tea time you.

00:12:27.140 Mmm.

00:12:28.340 So update on Dave.

00:12:30.140 It's up to you.

00:12:31.180 We'll take the laundry.

00:12:32.660 Rinse.

00:12:33.240 It's time to be great.

00:12:34.760 Okay, before we get to the cancellation, here's a, here's something.

00:12:40.380 Something from the entertainment industry.

00:12:42.960 Lighten the mood a bit.

00:12:45.160 New York Times headline, 25 movies, many stars, zero hits.

00:12:50.020 Hollywood falls to new lows.

00:12:51.700 And the article says some were heavily marketed.

00:12:55.040 Many were championed by critics.

00:12:56.480 Most had star power, but not one of the 25 dramas and comedies that movie companies released in North America theaters over the past three months has become a hit.

00:13:03.520 Certainly not in the way that Hollywood has historically kept score.

00:13:05.880 Some have played to near-empty auditoriums, including After the Hunt, starring Julia Roberts, Christie with Sidney Sweeney, and Die My Love, featuring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson.

00:13:15.880 To succeed in theaters today, dramas and comedies must have events that as something truly elevated and special, said Kevin Goetz, an author of the new book, How to Score in Hollywood, which looks at film bankability.

00:13:25.140 And then it goes on, while success at the box office is always correlated to how much it costs to make a film, Hollywood has historically used $50 million in ticket sales over an entire run as a benchmark for a widely seen drama or comedy.

00:13:43.620 By that measure, After the Hunt is a catastrophe.

00:13:46.580 It costs an estimated $70 million to make and collected $3.3 million.

00:13:50.220 And then there's this Jennifer Lopez one that cost $30 million and brought in $1.6 million in ticket sales over a month, which is very low.

00:14:05.020 So Hollywood films are flopping all over the place, and it feels like you've heard this story before because you have.

00:14:11.360 This is a trend that's been noticeable for years, but it seems to be worse now than ever.

00:14:17.440 Is this the beginning of the end for Hollywood?

00:14:19.560 Is this the end of the end?

00:14:21.500 Is it not just the beginning?

00:14:22.620 Is it actually the end?

00:14:24.740 Kind of seems like it.

00:14:27.320 And I will say that I differ from, I think, a lot of conservatives on this, in that that's not something that I celebrate necessarily.

00:14:37.380 I know a lot of conservatives are happy when they see articles like this.

00:14:41.700 Hollywood is falling.

00:14:43.400 They're happy about it.

00:14:44.580 I understand why.

00:14:45.600 I share the sentiment at some level.

00:14:47.360 Okay, so it's like I get it, but I can't really see it as a win because I think what comes after it will be a lot worse.

00:14:54.800 That's the problem.

00:14:56.200 I think what comes after, once the movie business is finished, the movie business as we have known it, you know, for the past 80 or 90 years or whatever, once that's over, and I think it basically is.

00:15:11.340 I mean, it almost is.

00:15:14.500 Whether or not that's a good thing really depends on, okay, well, what replaces it?

00:15:20.520 What comes after it?

00:15:21.500 And I think that what comes after Hollywood, what comes after the entertainment industry, is not anything better.

00:15:27.120 It's really just an endless stream of content on your phone.

00:15:30.260 I mean, that's what actually has replaced the movie business.

00:15:33.520 Your phone.

00:15:34.440 Random videos and content on your phone.

00:15:37.140 As we've talked about, the atomized, fractured culture instead of the monoculture.

00:15:42.300 So that's what comes next.

00:15:43.340 And all the endless pages, all of the proverbial ink being spilled over this question of what happened to Hollywood?

00:15:54.560 Why is it falling?

00:15:55.460 Why is it failing?

00:15:56.920 You know, it's really this.

00:15:59.480 It's not the quality of the film mainly.

00:16:03.100 It's not wokeness.

00:16:06.340 Right?

00:16:06.680 That is part of the problem.

00:16:08.240 I mean, that hasn't helped, but it's not really that.

00:16:10.840 Um, it's actually just the phone, right?

00:16:15.620 It's like, it's the box that we all carry around and we're just looking at it all day.

00:16:18.840 Like, that's really why.

00:16:21.720 And I would take Hollywood over the endless scroll.

00:16:27.060 Uh, I would take the movie business over just the people sitting there doing this all day on their phones.

00:16:33.280 Just staring at nothing.

00:16:36.600 Okay.

00:16:37.160 I, I would take, I, I don't think that that's better.

00:16:39.860 I really don't.

00:16:41.200 I think it's better to watch a bunch of mindless Hollywood popcorn flicks than spend all day just drooling while you stare at whatever the algorithm feeds you.

00:16:51.260 So that's one thing.

00:16:54.000 And, uh, and, you know, so we've, and like I said, we've talked about the death of monoculture.

00:16:59.380 Everything is consumed by phones and algorithms and that's what's happening.

00:17:03.020 And any analysis of this that overlooks that point is overlooking the point.

00:17:09.260 I will say though, there's another factor, one other factor.

00:17:12.500 It's not the biggest, but not the smallest either.

00:17:15.140 And if we're talking about the box office specifically, if we're talking about theaters, there is one other thing killing the box office, killing movie theaters.

00:17:23.040 And that is the quality of the experience.

00:17:25.720 And I don't even just mean the films.

00:17:27.540 I mean, the actual experience of the theater itself has declined dramatically.

00:17:34.240 I mean, I, I, I, my anecdotally, I have the same anecdotal experience that a lot of people do, which is, uh, I don't go to movies nearly as much these days as I used to.

00:17:42.020 Part of that is because there's not as many movies I'm interested in.

00:17:46.220 Part of that is because I'm older now and I got a, I got a million kids and everything going on.

00:17:50.040 But also, you know, on the rare occasion, when we go, sometimes you go and the, and the experience is just ruined.

00:17:56.420 It's like, it's a miserable experience.

00:17:57.880 And you're thinking like, I should have just watched this at home.

00:17:59.920 Just wait, wait, wait three weeks and it'll be out on Netflix or something.

00:18:03.080 I'll watch it there.

00:18:03.680 Um, the experience has declined in the same way that the experience of flying on a plane has declined, going out to eat.

00:18:14.080 It's the same thing that killed malls.

00:18:16.480 You know, everyone says the internet killed shopping malls, but that's not entirely true.

00:18:22.360 Um, that was part of it, but, uh, what malls were all already on the way out because the experience of going to them.

00:18:34.620 Was not, um, it was just not a fun experience anymore.

00:18:38.620 I mean, again, I have the same anecdotal experience.

00:18:40.960 A lot of people do.

00:18:41.720 I remember growing up, we had a, we had a mall we used to go to and, uh, it was a family, family friendly.

00:18:47.240 You know, you'd go and you eat lunch there and you go to the arcade and you check out some of the shops and stuff.

00:18:51.840 And it was kind of a, you'd hang out there for like hours.

00:18:53.960 It was just a thing people did in the back in the early nineties and before that.

00:18:58.960 And, um, and then in, in this case, they built a Metro stop.

00:19:02.400 They built a subway stop, uh, right next to the mall.

00:19:07.260 And next thing you know, the mall is now, shall we say urbanized.

00:19:11.400 And, uh, and now there was this friendly, family friendly mall.

00:19:14.340 And now there's a drugs and there's shootings in the parking lot.

00:19:17.520 And, uh, it's just not a place you want to bring your kids anymore.

00:19:20.400 And it was just destroyed.

00:19:22.180 There's this nice thing that people like to go and do.

00:19:24.340 And it was fun for the community.

00:19:25.460 And it was just ruined.

00:19:26.920 It was just ruined.

00:19:28.740 And, uh, so many things like that.

00:19:31.320 So I think it's a similar sort of scenario on top of that social etiquette in general has declined.

00:19:36.700 And everyone is afraid to enforce the rules.

00:19:40.420 You know, audiences are obnoxious and loud and rude.

00:19:44.660 And the funny thing is that everyone says the ticket prices are too high and that's what's killing the movie theaters.

00:19:49.020 And yeah, at some level, I get that it is way too much.

00:19:53.360 But you could also argue that the way to save the movie theaters is to go the other way now.

00:20:00.480 To make movies even more expensive.

00:20:02.860 Like get to a price point where the only people who will buy the tickets are the ones who actually want to sit down quietly and watch the damn movie.

00:20:11.780 Um, you know, raise ticket prices another hundred percent.

00:20:16.400 And it'll be way too expensive.

00:20:18.260 It already is.

00:20:18.980 But at least then you can be pretty sure that, okay, like no one is going to take the, is going to buy this ticket and then sit down and be on their phone.

00:20:26.260 No one is going to go in there with a whole group and be loud and obnoxious.

00:20:31.580 Um, but I'll tell you what the problem isn't.

00:20:34.460 As I've already referenced, the problem is not the quality of the films.

00:20:37.780 And I know that that's the standard conservative response.

00:20:41.120 Well, they just don't make movies like they used to.

00:20:42.980 And I agree with that.

00:20:44.180 I mean, I'm the one who's talked about how the movie industry peaked in 20 years ago.

00:20:47.860 And I believe that that's true.

00:20:48.980 So I don't think that the quality, I think that the quality has declined, but I don't think that's the reason.

00:20:54.420 Because, and this is like the uncomfortable truth that we, I mean, it's, it kind of lets us off the hook as an audience.

00:21:00.020 If we can say, oh yeah, well, you know, we, we just demand better quality content, right?

00:21:06.740 Well, but we really don't.

00:21:09.560 Um, and here, here's my proof.

00:21:11.740 So I saw this yesterday that this is the teaser and we're not going to play the whole, but it's like just 10 seconds.

00:21:15.800 Just to, so the teaser for the live action adaptation of Moano just came out yesterday, I guess.

00:21:22.780 And, uh, people are very excited, I suppose.

00:21:26.440 Here's a few seconds of it.

00:21:27.540 I am a girl who loves my island

00:21:38.280 And the girl who loves the sea

00:21:43.300 It calls me

00:21:47.120 Okay, so that's already, you know, whatever.

00:21:52.640 Okay, fine.

00:21:53.120 So, uh, so a few things about this live action adaptation of Moano.

00:21:57.060 First of all, it's not live action.

00:21:58.540 Almost the whole thing is animated.

00:22:00.980 You know, almost the whole thing is CGI.

00:22:03.040 There are like two human characters.

00:22:04.600 And you can already tell, if you watch the preview, it's like, I mean, but you can tell that

00:22:07.100 maybe two human characters, the rest is CGI.

00:22:09.760 And everything.

00:22:11.160 Now, I mean, that's how they, the, even the water and the trees.

00:22:15.600 Okay, if you see a shot of, oh, they're standing on a hilltop and there's grass.

00:22:19.000 Even that is CGI.

00:22:20.320 They don't, they're going to CGI a hill with grass.

00:22:23.320 They're going to CGI everything.

00:22:25.240 Everything.

00:22:26.700 So it's a live action adaptation, but it's not live action.

00:22:30.220 It's actually basically a cartoon.

00:22:31.960 So, so this is a remake of a movie that came out nine years ago.

00:22:36.320 They're remaking a movie that I took my 12 year old daughter to see when she was three

00:22:41.500 in theaters.

00:22:42.420 So this is very, very recent.

00:22:44.240 It is so recent that there are kids who will have seen both the original and the remake

00:22:49.460 in theaters before they graduate elementary school.

00:22:53.320 Okay.

00:22:53.800 You'll have fourth graders watching this and reminiscing about seeing the original film way

00:22:59.620 back in the day when they were in preschool.

00:23:02.620 You know, they'll lean over to their younger friend in the theater and say, I remember,

00:23:07.280 I remember many moons ago sitting in that exact seat, watching the original film all those

00:23:12.520 years ago.

00:23:13.140 I think it was Humphrey Bogart was Maui, I believe.

00:23:17.160 So it's very recent is my point.

00:23:19.360 And they just put out like a sequel last year.

00:23:21.820 This is a remake of a nine year old movie, which has never been done before.

00:23:25.600 As far as I know, a remake that quick, this is a shot for shot remake of an animated film

00:23:32.180 that just came out.

00:23:34.080 And the remake itself is also mostly animated.

00:23:37.160 So this is the least inventive, least creative, most uninspired thing Hollywood has ever done.

00:23:44.780 And it will make $90 billion at the box office.

00:23:47.920 And we all know it.

00:23:48.720 Okay.

00:23:48.980 It will earn more than like the GDP of Nigeria at the box office on the first day.

00:23:54.420 It'll be a smash hit.

00:23:55.900 I wish I could say that.

00:23:56.940 Oh yeah, it's going to flop.

00:23:57.920 It's not.

00:23:58.560 I mean, it's going to be huge.

00:23:59.620 So we all say that the box office is failing because Hollywood puts out low effort slop.

00:24:04.720 And yet, well, the low effort slop is the only thing that anyone will go see.

00:24:12.320 The low effort slop earns billions of dollars.

00:24:17.140 Actually, the movies that are flopping for the most part are original films.

00:24:21.200 Everyone says, oh, Hollywood doesn't make original films.

00:24:22.880 Well, they actually still do.

00:24:24.600 It's just that no one sees them.

00:24:26.300 Nobody will go watch those movies.

00:24:29.220 No one will go see the movie unless it's a sequel, remake, right?

00:24:33.160 A franchise thing.

00:24:36.220 And that's just, that's the truth of it.

00:24:39.660 So, you know, a lot of blame to go around on this thing is I guess what I would say.

00:25:12.620 We'd love to talk business.

00:25:14.420 It's Tucker Carlson's recent segment on Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old man who nearly assassinated

00:25:22.720 Donald Trump live on national television during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania last year.

00:25:26.780 There are a few important revelations that you should know about.

00:25:30.280 The first revelation, which is not remotely controversial, is that the FBI has clearly been

00:25:36.120 hiding relevant facts about Thomas Crooks from the general public.

00:25:40.540 And by itself, that is a national scandal that justifies completely gutting the FBI from the

00:25:46.240 highest levels on down.

00:25:48.040 Even if you firmly believe that Thomas Crooks was a lone gunman, and even if you believe

00:25:53.000 the Secret Service was merely incompetent as opposed to complicit, the fact remains our

00:25:57.580 government has been withholding important details about the assassination attempt on Donald

00:26:02.340 Trump's life without any justification whatsoever.

00:26:06.300 Now, we should not have to rely on Tucker Carlson or any podcaster to tell us that Thomas Crooks,

00:26:14.060 for example, left a lengthy trail of comments on YouTube in which he openly called for political

00:26:19.640 violence for several years.

00:26:22.640 These calls were so overt, so disturbing, that one user wrote in response to Crooks, quote,

00:26:27.520 Now, it's almost too on the nose to be real, but that comment is still available on YouTube

00:26:39.860 to this day.

00:26:41.400 Thomas Crooks' account has been suspended, and all of his comments have been hidden.

00:26:45.440 They're only accessible using the Internet Archive website, but the replies are still there.

00:26:50.440 And yet, more than a year after the assassination attempt in Butler, we have to rely on Tucker

00:26:55.660 to tell us about any of this, which is completely, overwhelmingly, unequivocally unacceptable.

00:27:03.900 It should not fall to anyone in the media to tell us what Thomas Crooks was saying online

00:27:09.040 and how people were reacting to his comments.

00:27:12.140 We shouldn't have to rely on podcasters to tell us that Thomas Crooks decided sometime during

00:27:16.600 the COVID lockdowns to completely reverse his political views and to begin openly attacking

00:27:21.400 Donald Trump and his administration on social media.

00:27:24.280 And we certainly shouldn't have to rely on podcasters to tell us that Crooks was in contact

00:27:28.360 with a mysterious person who remains unidentified beyond the online alias Willie Tepes, who openly

00:27:35.100 encouraged Crooks to commit acts of violence, which you can see there.

00:27:40.480 At one point, Willie Tepes wrote to Crooks, quote,

00:27:43.400 Authority obviously comes from the barrel of a gun.

00:27:46.120 We have more guns than they do.

00:27:48.220 There is no way we can avoid a war at this point.

00:27:50.620 So you better just get used to the idea.

00:27:54.580 Now, in common parlance, this is known as Fed posting.

00:27:58.660 Willie Tepes is almost being too obvious about it.

00:28:01.760 He understands that Thomas Crooks is a radical who's prone to violence.

00:28:05.180 He sees that Crooks is posting about acts of violence against political officials.

00:28:10.220 And Crooks wrote at one point that even the White House could be overwhelmed if enough Americans took up arms.

00:28:14.900 And Willie Tepes is aware of all this.

00:28:17.020 And instead of expressing concern, he encourages Crooks to go to war.

00:28:22.200 Now, is it possible that this is just some random Internet troll?

00:28:26.820 Yeah.

00:28:28.000 It's also possible that Willie Tepes was working with a government agency or a terror cell,

00:28:32.720 either in this country or some other country, to groom potential assassins.

00:28:36.800 In fact, given how weird Willie's comments were, and to be clear, he replied to Crooks multiple times,

00:28:43.460 it seems very likely that he was trying to groom Thomas Crooks.

00:28:47.780 So what has the FBI done to investigate this, to investigate Willie Tepes?

00:28:53.700 What have they done to figure out his identity?

00:28:56.620 Why is Tucker's show the first time, literally the first time,

00:28:59.300 that anyone in this country has heard the name Willie Tepes?

00:29:02.460 That is inexcusable for about a million different reasons.

00:29:06.880 It's not the FBI's job to determine what information is worth sharing to the public

00:29:11.220 or what information they deem is important.

00:29:15.200 Now, when it comes to the near assassination of the leading presidential candidate,

00:29:19.800 no detail is irrelevant.

00:29:22.680 If Thomas Crooks went bowling every week, we should know that.

00:29:26.000 If Thomas Crooks loved the film Good Will Hunting, we should know that.

00:29:29.100 And certainly, if he was in regular communication with an anonymous person

00:29:32.860 who sounded a lot like a Fed, encouraging him to commit acts of violence,

00:29:36.720 we should know that too.

00:29:39.080 I mean, at the very least, we should know something about this guy.

00:29:43.740 But if the Feds had their way, we wouldn't know anything at all.

00:29:48.900 And that's what we knew, nothing, until this week.

00:29:52.040 Now, on top of that, beyond the transparency issues,

00:29:55.400 it would obviously help the government's investigation to raise awareness about these posts.

00:30:00.920 You know, maybe someone somewhere knows who Willie Tepes is.

00:30:05.360 And as long as Willie Tepes isn't the alias for a CIA agent or something like that,

00:30:09.520 then you'd think your government would want someone to come forward and identify him immediately.

00:30:14.240 But that's not possible if they bury his identity and all information about him,

00:30:18.220 which is what they've done.

00:30:19.040 Then there's the fact that Crooks' PayPal account, for one reason or another,

00:30:23.920 uses the name of an ex-FBI agent who worked in Pennsylvania

00:30:27.040 and who investigated the Las Vegas mass shooting,

00:30:30.040 the one where no motive has ever been established.

00:30:33.900 What exactly is going on there?

00:30:35.720 We have no idea.

00:30:36.520 Because again, this is the first time anyone's hearing about any of this.

00:30:40.760 Our government, under both the Biden administration and the Trump administration,

00:30:44.240 made the conscious decision to hide all of this information from us.

00:30:50.340 The only reason we're hearing about it now is that a random source got in contact with Tucker Carlson's team

00:30:55.620 and tipped him off to Crooks' online history.

00:30:59.140 And because this information remains uncontested by the FBI several days after Tucker Carlson's broadcast,

00:31:04.800 we can assume that it's all true.

00:31:06.600 So let's pause for a minute here and zoom out.

00:31:11.200 Let's really think about what's happening.

00:31:13.940 Okay, this is the official narrative.

00:31:17.240 Last summer, Thomas Crooks, supposedly an untrained 20-year-old guy

00:31:21.460 with an angry, inconsistent social media history,

00:31:24.860 managed to outwit the Secret Service,

00:31:27.800 gain access to a roof 500 feet away from Donald Trump.

00:31:31.740 And he wasn't particularly subtle about it.

00:31:34.900 I mean, as you can see here in the videos that we've all seen,

00:31:38.320 he was clearly visible running across the rooftop as Trump spoke,

00:31:42.800 but the Secret Service didn't notice him.

00:31:45.640 Even though random attendees in the crowd were suspicious,

00:31:49.700 they noticed it, notified law enforcement.

00:31:53.300 Somehow the Secret Service didn't have anyone on the roof

00:31:55.320 because it was too sloped, we were told.

00:31:58.340 And somehow the Secret Service counter-snipers couldn't see any of this.

00:32:02.240 They only shot Thomas Crooks after he unloaded several shots at Donald Trump,

00:32:06.320 including a shot that hit Trump in the head.

00:32:07.860 And coincidentally enough, the rally in Butler was the first time

00:32:11.540 that the Secret Service had deployed counter-snipers to a Trump rally

00:32:15.480 during the 2024 campaign season.

00:32:17.720 So yes, the Secret Service snipers made their debut at the Butler rally

00:32:21.280 just in time to neutralize Thomas Crooks after he got his shots off.

00:32:25.840 So in a very tidy fashion, Thomas Crooks was quickly erased from the picture.

00:32:31.900 Nobody could question him.

00:32:33.620 Nobody could put him on trial.

00:32:35.880 And then a funny thing happened.

00:32:37.340 No one really investigated Thomas Crooks.

00:32:40.220 No one told us anything about his social media posts,

00:32:43.040 his political views,

00:32:44.460 beyond the claim that he was a Trump supporter, which was false.

00:32:47.580 It took more than a year for us to learn that, in fact,

00:32:50.980 Thomas Crooks was openly promising to commit violence on social media

00:32:54.040 and that someone was encouraging him to do that.

00:32:57.000 But the story gets even more strange from here.

00:33:00.480 Less than 48 hours after Tucker's reporting,

00:33:04.960 out of nowhere, the New York Post published this exclusive information.

00:33:09.100 Quote,

00:33:10.580 Thomas Crooks used they, them pronouns and posted threats of political violence

00:33:14.120 and violent art on his secret social media accounts

00:33:17.000 before he attempted to assassinate President Trump,

00:33:19.280 according to sources who shared the suspected messages with the Post.

00:33:22.960 Crooks had two possible accounts on DeviantArt,

00:33:25.700 a site that hosts fan art,

00:33:27.860 and has become notorious for its community of furries,

00:33:29.940 people who identify as anthropomorphized animal characters

00:33:33.140 and or are sexually attracted to them.

00:33:35.620 One of the DeviantArt accounts linked to Crooks shared just one post,

00:33:38.700 a repost of a towering, muscular female bodybuilder

00:33:42.100 and a slight man in his underwear.

00:33:46.100 Separately, the Post, Miranda Devine reported that Crooks, quote,

00:33:49.400 had an obsession with scantily clad cartoon characters

00:33:52.060 sporting muscle-bound male bodies and female heads.

00:33:56.100 Okay, so this seems to be a clear-cut case of yet another psychologically disturbed mass shooter,

00:34:03.840 someone who has been indoctrinated into the LGBT cult

00:34:07.500 and then turning to violence,

00:34:10.260 which is not a particularly surprising development.

00:34:13.000 As I've said repeatedly, the LGBT cult is the single greatest domestic terror threat

00:34:16.860 that this country faces, hands down.

00:34:20.440 I mean, in just the past few years,

00:34:21.680 trans-identifying terrorists have shot up multiple Christian churches and schools,

00:34:25.820 quote-unquote non-binary mass shooters have targeted high schools and bars,

00:34:29.820 a leftist living with a furry trans person assassinated Charlie Kirk

00:34:34.480 in front of thousands of people.

00:34:35.480 Well, and now we have this.

00:34:37.400 Put simply, trans-extremism, LGBT extremism, is an epidemic.

00:34:41.520 And the pattern of trans and, quote-unquote, non-binary violence

00:34:45.140 is not at all surprising, even though the media tries to cover it up.

00:34:48.940 I mean, any man who identifies as a woman or as a they-them

00:34:52.260 is mentally unstable and confused by definition.

00:34:57.440 It seems nearly certain that all these people were on psychiatric meds.

00:35:02.780 A lot of them were probably on hormones.

00:35:06.380 So there's connections there that could be drawn.

00:35:08.900 There's more we could be investigating there.

00:35:12.660 And there's another common theme here as well,

00:35:14.440 which is that all of these violent LGBT shooters

00:35:17.740 probably develop their gender identity from consuming hundreds of hours of porn.

00:35:23.120 I mean, that's the other commonality that you find with these types of things.

00:35:27.260 The gender stuff is the product of extreme nihilism and extreme perversion.

00:35:32.060 And a steady, long-term diet of pornography

00:35:35.240 turns anyone into a nihilist pervert.

00:35:39.220 And it's not a far leap to get from that to murderer.

00:35:46.020 Especially if you have mysterious people in your comments saying,

00:35:48.600 hey, maybe you should rise up and go to war against the government.

00:35:54.160 That's why it's not exactly shocking to hear that Thomas Crooks was also a member

00:35:58.240 of the they-them cult who regularly consume various degenerate forms of media.

00:36:03.500 I mean, at this point, you almost expect the investigation to uncover something like this.

00:36:07.480 Thomas Crooks is yet another violent LGBT-linked killer to add to a very disturbing and fast-growing list.

00:36:13.940 Now, there were some concerns expressed by some commentators

00:36:17.420 that perhaps this revelation was an intentional diversion,

00:36:20.540 maybe a targeted leak intended to distract us from the investigation that Tucker Carlson just published,

00:36:25.700 which does seem like something the FBI might try to do,

00:36:28.580 but that's not what happened in this case.

00:36:30.780 Miranda Devine has made it clear that her source is the same as Tucker's.

00:36:34.920 And the information did not come from the FBI.

00:36:38.560 Devine also provided more information on the Willy Tepes character,

00:36:41.420 who was first identified by Tucker Carlson.

00:36:43.140 Here's what Devine wrote, quote,

00:36:44.960 One of the people Crooks interacted with online was Willy Tepes,

00:36:48.940 a member of Norwegian neo-Nazi group the Nordic Resistance Movement,

00:36:53.460 which has since been designated a terrorist organization by the State Department.

00:36:56.920 In one comment on October 5th, 2025, more than a year after Butler,

00:37:00.960 Tepes commented to another user that he'd been contacted by both Russian

00:37:04.760 and American intelligence, people who ask you to contact them

00:37:07.800 when they just as easily could contact you, are feds.

00:37:10.500 This is how they avoid entrapment.

00:37:12.780 Both American and Russian intelligence does this.

00:37:15.580 I have chatted to both, Tepes said.

00:37:19.840 So there are only two possibilities here.

00:37:21.780 The first possibility is that we're seeing a monumental, unforgivable failure by the FBI,

00:37:27.620 a degree of incompetence that's simply staggering.

00:37:30.580 Maybe they missed all these chats.

00:37:32.860 Maybe they didn't think it was relevant.

00:37:35.620 Just never got around to releasing them.

00:37:38.720 So they're left to respond with pathetic, rapid response press releases

00:37:42.300 when Tucker Carlson and Miranda Devine published investigative reports a year later.

00:37:46.100 That's the best case scenario.

00:37:49.300 That is the absolute best case scenario we're dealing with.

00:37:53.020 The worst case scenario is almost too dark to say out loud, but I'll try my best.

00:37:58.460 The worst case scenario is that the FBI has been hiding all this information about Thomas Crooks

00:38:03.220 for the same reason that the Secret Service, supposedly the most elite protective force in the entire world,

00:38:08.480 failed to secure the slightly sloped roof 400 feet away from Donald Trump with a direct line of sight to his head.

00:38:14.980 The worst case scenario is that the leadership of our intelligence agencies wanted Donald Trump dead.

00:38:20.620 And if that's the case, then there's no reason to think that they're going to stop trying to kill him.

00:38:28.340 Now, it's not my job or your job to decide between these two scenarios.

00:38:31.840 It's the job of our government, out of an abundance of transparency, to absolve itself completely of any responsibility in the attempt to murder Donald Trump.

00:38:42.840 They should be telling us everything they know, even if they don't think their information is relevant.

00:38:48.860 But our government hasn't done that.

00:38:50.340 And for that reason, it's not insane or paranoid to assume the worst, or at least to consider it a very real possibility.

00:38:59.860 For one reason or another, we are not being told the whole story.

00:39:03.740 Or even an incomplete story.

00:39:07.060 And it's way past time for us to ask one question.

00:39:10.640 Why?

00:39:11.680 You might think it's difficult to find the single worst post on social media in terms of how poorly it's aged.

00:39:17.120 There have been a lot of posts, probably millions of them, that haven't withstood the test of time very well.

00:39:22.320 You can find posts predicting that Bill Belichick would lead UNC to greatness, since after all, he's a great coach.

00:39:27.380 And definitely not rich and famous simply because he had a roster of extremely talented and expensive players.

00:39:32.500 You can also find posts from esteemed experts declaring with absolute confidence the world is going to end in 12 years because of climate change.

00:39:39.860 And a lot of those posts are 12 years old now or more.

00:39:42.300 Or you can revisit Hillary Clinton's most infamous post where she wishes herself a happy birthday and declares that she is a future president.

00:39:48.280 We all remember that one.

00:39:49.400 All of these posts, to varying degrees, have not held up very well.

00:39:53.520 But there's one that, even given this very stiff competition, clearly stands alone.

00:39:59.260 And I'm talking about the following post from a woman named Olivia Nuzi, who currently works as an editor for Vanity Fair.

00:40:05.720 And here is the post.

00:40:08.380 Before taking the job at Vanity Fair, she worked at New York Magazine and also the Daily Beast.

00:40:12.720 But a long time ago, back when she was just getting started in the industry in January of 2015, here's what she wrote on Twitter.

00:40:19.460 Quote,

00:40:20.480 Why does Hollywood think female reporters sleep with their sources?

00:40:24.100 And this was, she was reacting to, I think, House of Cards at the time, the show House of Cards.

00:40:31.180 Well, at the time, it seemed like a pretty safe question for a New York-born, Fordham-educated, up-and-coming liberal journalist to pose on social media.

00:40:38.820 She was calling out all those lazy, cliche-obsessed writers in Hollywood, the ones who don't understand the obvious fundamental truths of the 20th wave of feminism.

00:40:48.320 It's an absurdity, Olivia stated, to suggest that female journalists sleep with their sources.

00:40:54.020 In reality, we all know that female journalists get ahead through hard work, shoe-leather reporting, clever, legit, logical deductions, and, you know, crisp, highly readable prose.

00:41:05.140 That's just a given.

00:41:07.140 Well, unfortunately for her bold proclamation, Olivia went on to become a journalist.

00:41:11.360 And in that capacity, she didn't simply prove the old stereotype true about how women sleep with their sources.

00:41:19.200 She acted like that stereotype was one of the Ten Commandments.

00:41:22.940 She went on a one-woman mission, like a horny Rambo, to prove that female reporters only do one thing all day, apparently, which is sleep with their sources.

00:41:34.840 Now, you probably remember the story that broke last year about Olivia Nuzzi's romantic relationship with RFK Jr.,

00:41:41.360 So, it was a clear conflict of interest.

00:41:43.000 Nuzzi had been assigned to cover RFK's campaign.

00:41:45.900 She wrote an article that was highly critical of Joe Biden.

00:41:48.900 And the whole time, she was engaged in some kind of inappropriate relationship with RFK Jr.

00:41:52.660 The details of it are, mercifully, have not been disclosed fully, as far as I know.

00:41:57.940 According to Nuzzi, she was involved in a non-physical, personal relationship with RFK Jr.

00:42:02.360 And someone else described the relationship as an emotional and digital in nature, kind of like a Manti Teo situation.

00:42:11.840 Now, whether you find that explanation believable or not, it was obviously a highly embarrassing situation for everybody involved,

00:42:17.560 including Olivia's employer, New York Magazine, which quickly cut her loose.

00:42:22.180 Now, speaking for myself, naively, I assume that, well, after this embarrassing episode, this scandal,

00:42:31.520 she's in some kind of personal relationship with someone she's supposed to be covering in politics.

00:42:36.180 I thought, well, she would, you know, she's going to, she's done in the business.

00:42:39.820 She'll flee into obscurity and she'll have no choice following the revelation that she was getting intimate with RFK Jr.,

00:42:46.500 someone she was assigned to cover in an objective fashion.

00:42:50.480 But apparently, she did not flee into obscurity, nor did she suffer any consequences at all,

00:42:56.580 because journalism has no standards at all.

00:42:59.260 And therefore, she now works at Vanity Fair, and she's apparently coming out with a new book

00:43:03.880 where she makes herself a hero and victim of her own scandal.

00:43:09.220 And the book is called American Canto.

00:43:10.960 Now, not to be outdone, her ex-fiancee, Ryan Lizza, just published an expose where he reveals that Olivia

00:43:16.760 also had a sexual relationship with former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann,

00:43:21.820 in addition to, on top of that, former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford in 2020,

00:43:27.120 while she was covering his presidential campaign.

00:43:29.520 So here's what Lizza wrote.

00:43:31.000 I don't do many dramatic readings for romance novels or anything like that, so bear with me here.

00:43:35.560 I'll just read it as it was written.

00:43:37.940 Quote, Olivia had just returned from a reporting trip, at least if that's what she told me it was,

00:43:43.460 and her Herschel backpack, the one with the flap that never quite closed properly,

00:43:47.340 was tossed beside our bed, its contents scattered on the floor.

00:43:50.860 That's when I noticed the sheets of Kempton Hotel stationery that would alter the course of our lives.

00:43:55.680 As I tidied up the desk, something on the Kempton stationery caught my eye.

00:43:59.780 I started to read.

00:44:01.740 Quote,

00:44:02.060 If I swallowed every drop of water from the tower above your house, Olivia had written,

00:44:07.360 I would still thirst for you.

00:44:10.360 Unfortunately, the lack of a water tower on our Georgetown's home ruled me out as the notes intended recipient.

00:44:16.680 I flipped to another page and saw a name in the first line of an unfinished love letter to him

00:44:21.060 that included enough details to confirm a physical relationship and the hint of some kind of falling out.

00:44:25.460 My heart stopped when I realized who he was.

00:44:27.140 I looked at the date on her aborted letter to Mark, March 5th, 2020, just a few days ago.

00:44:33.160 I called my agent.

00:44:34.500 We have a big problem, I said.

00:44:35.820 Olivia is sleeping with Mark Sanford.

00:44:38.620 Close quote.

00:44:40.260 And his article stops there.

00:44:42.740 The big M. Night Shyamalan twist ending.

00:44:46.100 Because I think when you're reading it, you're supposed to think that he's talking about RFK Jr.

00:44:50.760 And then it turns out that, no, it's actually a different politician that she was sleeping with.

00:44:56.220 Now, after Ryan Lizza published this article, a lot of people rediscovered this exchange on social media from back in 2019.

00:45:04.280 Olivia wrote,

00:45:05.260 I spent some time in South Carolina with Mark Sanford for New York Magazine.

00:45:08.720 And then somebody writes, hey, he looks happy.

00:45:11.340 And Olivia Newsy replies,

00:45:12.560 I tend to have that effect.

00:45:16.020 Well, now we know what she meant by that.

00:45:18.480 In just case anyone was wondering about that.

00:45:21.280 But Lizza's tell-all didn't stop there.

00:45:22.880 He also wrote this section about Olivia's relationship with Keith Olbermann, which is somehow even more horrifying.

00:45:28.940 I was used to cleaning up Olivia's messes.

00:45:31.800 Not that long ago, I had helped her untangle herself from an unusual relationship with Keith Olbermann, the former MSNBC host.

00:45:37.960 She had messaged him out of the blue.

00:45:39.720 We started talking, and soon after, she fled her unhappy home in suburban New Jersey and started living with Keith in Manhattan.

00:45:45.740 He paid for her to attend college, outfitted her in Tom Ford and some $15,000 worth of Cartier jewelry.

00:45:54.060 Later, he covered her rent and furnished her apartment in a dormant building in the West Village.

00:46:00.060 While Keith, who was 34 years older, was generous, there were strings attached.

00:46:04.560 Olivia had concealed the relationship from me and other friends.

00:46:06.940 But one day, she told me everything, too much actually.

00:46:09.540 And together, we hatched a plan for her escape.

00:46:11.940 Now, Keith Olbermann is, of course, a grotesque, angry, bloated blob of a man who lives alone with his cats and spends his days sitting in a rocking chair, screaming out the window at random passersby.

00:46:25.660 What Olivia found appealing about a man who looks and sounds like a giant, half-sentient wart, I have no idea.

00:46:32.780 All I know is that Keith and Olivia together must have combined to create the most insufferable combination of human beings ever assembled on Earth.

00:46:40.020 I actually feel bad for the cats that they had to live through that.

00:46:45.080 So in case it's not obvious, just to summarize, this is a classic case of nobody to root for.

00:46:50.880 A lot of very terrible people are cheating and lying and getting away with it scot-free.

00:46:57.060 And it gets even worse when you look at the excerpts that have been posted from Olivia's new book.

00:47:03.300 And here's one of them.

00:47:04.440 Again, I'm not a professional audiobook reader for a dime store romance novel, so I'm going to do my best here.

00:47:09.640 But this is an actual excerpt from this book that just came out or it's going to come out soon.

00:47:15.520 This is what it says.

00:47:16.500 I mean to tell you of the canyon where voices carried, the place where monsters spoke to me, where I listened, where I found that, as fortune or curse would have it, I knew the language of monsters.

00:47:31.680 Where, with news on my tongue and tears in my eyes, the role of town crier I interpret literally, I ran back over the hill to translate for those who could not stomach the thought of standing face to face with monsters, but who required knowledge of monsters as the monsters accrued ever more power, as they revealed or converted ever more monsters among men.

00:47:54.220 Now, I read through that a couple times, not exactly clear what she's talking about.

00:48:02.840 What I can say for certain is that Olivia Nuzzi's book is clearly self-serious, pretentious, melodramatic, in the extreme, and very poorly written.

00:48:16.280 Okay, news on my tongue and tears in my eyes.

00:48:22.280 I mean, oh my gosh.

00:48:25.060 And somehow that made it past an editor.

00:48:27.400 I mean, do editors exist anymore?

00:48:29.060 Is everyone just using chat GPT?

00:48:32.220 Have the editors already been put out of business, I guess?

00:48:35.220 How are you an editor and you let that get by you?

00:48:41.400 Not to mention a sentence that uses the word monster like 12 times.

00:48:48.800 News on my tongue and tears in my eyes.

00:48:53.540 Now, I guess if I had to come up with a compliment, I'd say it probably wasn't written by AI because AI, for all its horrors, isn't that bad.

00:49:02.300 Like, even chat GPT could probably come up with something better.

00:49:04.300 It reads like a seventh grade girl doing an impression of Taylor Swift, doing an impression of Cormac McCarthy.

00:49:13.980 It is unreadable, annoying, and incoherent, which is to say it's modern journalism in a nutshell.

00:49:21.520 And as perhaps the last man alive who has not been involved in any kind of relationship with Olivia Nuzzi, I simply can't stand for it.

00:49:29.260 And that is why Olivia Nuzzi, Keith Olbermann, Ryan Lizza, everyone else who's remotely involved in this sordid and deeply depressing soap opera are today canceled.

00:49:39.260 Canada can be a global leader in reducing the harm caused by smoking, but it requires actionable steps.

00:49:49.360 Now is the time to modernize Canadian laws so that adult smokers have information and access to better alternatives.

00:49:56.380 By doing so, we can create lasting change.

00:49:59.580 If you don't smoke, don't start.

00:50:01.560 If you smoke, quit.

00:50:03.600 If you don't quit, change.

00:50:06.060 Visit unsmoked.ca.

00:50:08.440 Time that we spend on the latest political developments in the nation's biggest population centers, for example, the election of a Muslim socialist in New York City or the attacks on immigration officers in Los Angeles.

00:50:18.320 It's undeniable that some of the biggest and most important stories are happening in much smaller cities and towns across the country.

00:50:25.800 It's in the smaller locales that we're seeing some of the real flashpoints emerging, even though no corporate media outlet would dare to talk about them.

00:50:35.540 What we are now seeing are very disturbing images that could soon define our national politics as large scale demographic replacement begins to take hold.

00:50:44.580 And whatever you make of the disasters unfolding in places like New York and California, the decline of smaller cities is even more disturbing.

00:50:53.980 So consider Dearborn, Michigan, population just north of 100,000.

00:50:57.880 If you were ranking American cities by population, Dearborn wouldn't even crack the top 300.

00:51:03.740 But the population that Dearborn does have is highly significant.

00:51:07.780 Dearborn currently has a larger portion of Muslims than any other city in the U.S.

00:51:13.440 And it certainly became, it recently became the first Arab majority city in the country.

00:51:19.340 Fully 55% of Dearborn's residents say they have Middle Eastern or North African ancestry,

00:51:25.240 which explains why Dearborn boasts the largest mosque in the entire continent of North America.

00:51:31.240 Now, Dearborn, as I've said so often on the show, is in every way an Islamic capital at this point.

00:51:37.340 It is not an American city at all, except geographically.

00:51:41.800 However, Dearborn has been conquered.

00:51:44.760 And the few remaining Americans in Dearborn are now finding themselves surrounded by mobs of Muslims chanting Allah Akbar and telling them to leave the city.

00:51:53.280 So this is footage that was taken by Nick Shirley, one of the few journalists who's willing to travel to Dearborn and report honestly about what he sees there.

00:52:01.020 The footage shows Shirley attempting to interview an activist named Jake Lang, who was one of the pardoned January 6th defendants.

00:52:07.800 But the interview doesn't go anywhere because at this point, Dearborn basically resembles Fallujah.

00:52:13.980 Watch.

00:52:14.300 I believe they're going to cancel the 630 City Hall meeting because everybody's chimpin' the f*** out.

00:52:20.900 They're chimpin' the f*** out.

00:52:22.660 I don't have bananas, Shalel.

00:52:24.940 I don't have bananas.

00:52:29.260 This is not America.

00:52:31.820 This is an insurgency.

00:52:33.900 They are taking over our country.

00:52:38.320 They're taking over our country.

00:52:40.620 They want us all dead.

00:52:42.040 This is Dearborn, Michigan right now.

00:52:49.440 Yes, this is Dearborn, Michigan.

00:52:51.300 Any races is not welcome.

00:52:53.460 No races here.

00:52:58.440 Now, that is a video that should be playing on repeat on every American news station.

00:53:04.980 The president should have responded to this by now.

00:53:07.120 It is footage that 25 years ago, everybody would have assumed came from Iraq or Afghanistan.

00:53:14.240 So to be clear about what you just saw, if you're an American citizen and the mob of Muslims that controls Dearborn believes that you're racist, then you're not welcome in the city any longer.

00:53:25.180 Your constitutional rights to freedom of expression are suspended.

00:53:28.180 You'll be surrounded and hounded by mobs shouting, Allah Akbar.

00:53:34.320 And indeed, that is the official position of the government of Dearborn.

00:53:37.440 It was just a few weeks ago.

00:53:38.280 You may remember that the mayor of Dearborn, Abdullah Hamoud, publicly berated a Christian pastor telling him he's not welcome in the city because of his views.

00:53:46.720 This is the same mayor who, as we talked about yesterday, said he disavows the concept of assimilation.

00:53:51.060 So this tactic of driving out Americans who disagree with the Islamization of the city extends not just to the mob, but to government officials in the city as well.

00:54:00.820 So that's what makes this, among other things, a constitutional crisis.

00:54:05.020 In an American city, no one, not even an alleged racist, quote unquote, should be surrounded, intimidated, and forced to leave for their speech.

00:54:15.200 That's not something that should ever happen under any circumstance.

00:54:19.480 It doesn't matter if he starts talking about bananas.

00:54:22.220 It doesn't matter if he insults Muhammad.

00:54:24.880 It doesn't matter if he burns a Koran.

00:54:27.980 I don't agree with that.

00:54:29.100 I wouldn't do it myself.

00:54:30.900 But this is America.

00:54:32.540 In this country, unlike the Muslim world, we have the freedom of speech, freedom of association.

00:54:37.440 The Koran is not a sacred text that we protect by law.

00:54:41.120 Muhammad is not a prophet whose name we revere in this country.

00:54:46.340 This is America.

00:54:48.960 But places like Dearborn don't look much like America anymore, or act like it.

00:54:53.600 Jake Lang, while holding a sign reading Americans Against Islamification, was also punched in the face on camera in Dearborn by someone who quickly ran away, very courageously.

00:55:04.340 Watch.

00:55:06.120 I'm a checker!

00:55:07.420 I'm a...

00:55:08.000 I'm a...

00:55:08.480 Look at that wimp just running away.

00:55:25.480 He's like already running away while the punch is still in the air being thrown.

00:55:30.500 He's already somehow running away.

00:55:32.040 Now, as long as we're still prosecuting hate crimes in this country, why hasn't the federal government opened an investigation into that attack?

00:55:41.400 That's a hate crime.

00:55:42.760 He's protesting against Islamification, which is his right as an American citizen.

00:55:48.300 I don't care how you feel about it.

00:55:49.820 You don't have to like him or agree with his tactics.

00:55:53.240 It can make you feel upset.

00:55:54.660 It can make your tummy hurt that he's got a sign that says we're against Islamification.

00:55:58.100 Doesn't matter.

00:55:59.400 Deal with it.

00:56:02.040 He is well within his constitutional rights as an American.

00:56:04.780 Well within them.

00:56:06.440 He's expressing a view about a particular religion that he believes conflicts with his own beliefs.

00:56:13.840 And for doing that, he was violently attacked in the middle of the street.

00:56:18.100 It's the hate crime.

00:56:19.260 So where is the DOJ that prosecuted Douglas Mackey for making a meme?

00:56:24.800 Why aren't they all over this?

00:56:26.000 Douglas Mackey was charged with violating Americans' right to vote by making a meme about Hillary Clinton somehow.

00:56:31.600 Meanwhile, we have a clear attack on somebody engaging in First Amendment protected speech.

00:56:36.040 And so far, it hasn't been a word about it from the DOJ.

00:56:41.620 And by the way, this wasn't the only time that Lange was attacked in Dearborn, and others were attacked as well.

00:56:46.780 The independent journalist Cam Higby was pepper sprayed and assaulted after he attempted to defend a Christian protester in Dearborn.

00:56:54.000 Watch.

00:56:54.260 Why is he not welcome on a public sidewalk?

00:56:57.300 Get the camera out of my face.

00:56:58.860 Get that camera out of my face, or I'll take it from you, okay?

00:57:07.880 Phone.

00:57:08.460 Phone right here.

00:57:09.520 Is this his phone?

00:57:10.300 Yeah.

00:57:11.520 All right, guys.

00:57:12.300 He just got pepper sprayed for attacking and assaulting someone.

00:57:15.940 No, you're not going to get your phone.

00:57:16.920 Actually, you get it.

00:57:17.500 Here you go.

00:57:18.380 There we go.

00:57:19.200 Yeah.

00:57:19.420 Yeah.

00:57:19.500 Yeah.

00:57:19.540 Yeah.

00:57:19.600 Yeah.

00:57:20.000 Yeah.

00:57:24.260 Come on in.

00:57:26.640 No!

00:57:28.160 Disgusting.

00:57:29.640 No!

00:57:31.120 I got it.

00:57:31.920 Right there.

00:57:33.980 All right.

00:57:36.100 Guys, as you can see here, the jug that was watering, we got a bunch of...

00:57:44.780 Now, when Cam reported this assault to a police officer in Dearborn,

00:57:53.400 the officer refused to investigate it.

00:57:55.140 He claimed that he couldn't leave his post or take a report.

00:57:59.280 But just a few minutes later, Higby saw the officer leave his post to take a personal

00:58:03.480 phone call.

00:58:04.580 Watch.

00:58:06.120 My main issue here is that you said I could go into the station later and file a report.

00:58:10.540 He's in black block.

00:58:11.660 You're never going to find him again.

00:58:15.240 You will never find him again.

00:58:17.840 The detective will not find him.

00:58:22.180 I promise you.

00:58:23.060 I've been in this situation before.

00:58:24.400 You're never going to find him.

00:58:25.480 He's masked head to toe.

00:58:26.780 You will never find him again.

00:58:30.540 Yeah.

00:58:31.300 That is...

00:58:31.980 It's lazy.

00:58:33.580 So you know that a crime happened and you're going to let it slide because why?

00:58:40.120 Then go arrest him.

00:58:41.300 Okay, find me somebody who can.

00:58:52.200 Okay, yeah.

00:58:52.860 Find the police report after he's gone and you'll never find him again.

00:58:56.320 This is lazy police work.

00:58:58.040 You are a lazy police officer.

00:58:59.920 Or you just don't want to get him.

00:59:02.760 Oh, I thought he couldn't leave his post.

00:59:04.180 He's gone.

00:59:04.680 He's not even here anymore.

00:59:05.600 He said he couldn't leave his post.

00:59:06.600 We're going to go right over there.

00:59:09.580 We're going to say hi to him.

00:59:10.480 We're going to get his name and badge number before we leave.

00:59:13.140 Hey, officer!

00:59:15.260 Who couldn't leave his post?

00:59:16.360 Here he is running.

00:59:18.600 Officer.

00:59:20.880 Officer.

00:59:25.920 Officer who couldn't leave your post.

00:59:27.180 Can I get name and badge number real quick?

00:59:33.600 Officer.

00:59:33.880 You said you couldn't leave your post a second ago.

00:59:36.800 That was a lie.

00:59:37.300 Can I get your name and badge number before I leave?

00:59:39.700 Name?

00:59:40.720 Officer.

00:59:41.500 Okay, thank you.

00:59:44.360 You can leave your post to take a personal phone call, but not to make an arrest, apparently.

00:59:51.160 So he says that it's a lazy police work.

00:59:53.580 I think he's being too kind to the officer.

00:59:55.540 This is not laziness.

00:59:56.820 It's just that most likely this officer agrees with the crime that took place.

01:00:01.060 I mean, that's the only assumption you can make when you've got an actual crime takes

01:00:04.720 place.

01:00:05.060 You're saying to police officer, hey, this crime just happened.

01:00:07.420 The guy's right over there.

01:00:10.340 And the officer says, yeah, well, no, I can't leave this spot.

01:00:13.960 Sorry.

01:00:15.960 The only rational assumption we can make is that, oh, well, you're okay with the crime.

01:00:19.580 You're glad that it happened.

01:00:20.960 And that's why you're not going to investigate it.

01:00:22.880 So this is a systemic top-down assault on the civil liberties of Americans in Dearborn.

01:00:29.660 When Americans are beaten in the street, police look the other way.

01:00:35.740 When Americans assemble outside the city council, they're surrounded and intimidated with chants

01:00:39.780 of Allah Akbar.

01:00:42.640 In America.

01:00:44.360 I have to keep reminding you.

01:00:46.600 This is in America.

01:00:47.560 You'll have mobs surrounding you chanting Allah Akbar.

01:00:53.320 It really doesn't matter what you think of Jake Lang or Cam Higbee.

01:00:56.220 It doesn't matter if you think they're great people or horrible people.

01:00:58.940 It doesn't matter if you think Cam Higbee is a good journalist or whether Jake Lang is

01:01:02.800 a good activist.

01:01:03.920 It doesn't matter.

01:01:04.680 I've seen some people on social media, including people who are supposedly conservative, saying

01:01:09.480 that, well, Lang's a fraud.

01:01:11.720 He's just a shock jock doing this for attention.

01:01:13.840 Now, I don't know the guy.

01:01:14.860 I don't know much about him.

01:01:15.960 I can't speak to his motives.

01:01:17.780 I have no idea.

01:01:19.400 All I know is that this is a completely unacceptable state of affairs in an American city.

01:01:25.420 And if you're looking at these video clips and to you, the headline is, wow, well, that

01:01:29.680 guy is being rude.

01:01:30.940 If that's the thing that jumps out at you and not that they're chanting Allah Akbar in

01:01:36.160 the street, assaulting Americans and the police are not investigating because they agree with

01:01:40.400 it.

01:01:40.860 Like if that's not the, if you're, if you're more concerned about, well, that was kind of

01:01:45.140 rude.

01:01:46.280 That's not nice for him to be saying that stuff.

01:01:49.960 Well, then I don't know what to tell you.

01:01:53.460 This is unconstitutional.

01:01:55.540 The DOJ has a civil rights division to protect our civil rights and they need to move into

01:01:59.720 Dearborn along with the National Guard immediately.

01:02:02.000 The city council meeting under heavy police guard did eventually take place.

01:02:06.860 At the meeting, Lange offered these remarks.

01:02:08.800 I'm going to play them at some length, not because I agree with or endorse everything,

01:02:12.960 everything he says, but because they, the whole scene is important for you to see and

01:02:18.100 to hear how the audience responds, see how the police responds.

01:02:21.680 And most of all, you need to understand that Lange is what happens when the government decides

01:02:26.860 to replace American citizens with Muslims from the third world.

01:02:32.000 When you displace Americans, when you berate them, when you assault them, when you vilify

01:02:35.520 them, destroy their livelihoods, destroy their communities, destroy their homes, then you

01:02:41.000 get people like this, you get resistance.

01:02:43.840 And at that point, once you've pushed people far enough, you don't get to choose what the

01:02:48.380 resistance looks like.

01:02:50.780 You don't get to tone police it.

01:02:53.340 When you target a specific race for replacement, which is what the left has done across the country,

01:02:58.440 when you engage in open racial warfare, then you cannot pretend to be outraged when you

01:03:03.280 get this kind of response.

01:03:04.300 It's inevitable.

01:03:05.840 Watch.

01:03:07.180 We have to call it what it is.

01:03:09.160 You guys don't live like we do.

01:03:10.860 We don't want you in our country.

01:03:12.700 We will come and eat your shawarma in Somalia.

01:03:15.900 Okay.

01:03:16.380 We don't need it here in Michigan.

01:03:19.280 We don't need it in any part of America.

01:03:21.720 We have a right to self-determination.

01:03:26.560 Our founding fathers fought and died for our posterity, for white Americans, and we're

01:03:33.840 being driven out.

01:03:35.240 You come here, and you marry four or five women, and you outbreed us.

01:03:39.580 You change the laws.

01:03:41.020 You make all of our country look like the places that you fled from.

01:03:45.620 We don't want you here.

01:03:47.360 Respectfully, get the f*** out of my country.

01:03:49.440 I don't want you here.

01:03:51.060 We don't want you here.

01:03:52.720 I don't want you here.

01:03:54.140 I don't want you here.

01:03:55.180 That's fine, sir.

01:03:55.820 Just screw it up there.

01:03:56.520 This is our country, and the people, the veterans, the World War II veterans that's blood

01:04:05.000 has soaked for our constitutional republic are taking a look around Europe.

01:04:10.000 They're taking a look around America, and they're saying, what the hell did we fight

01:04:13.640 for?

01:04:14.220 We have been taken over without a single shot fired.

01:04:17.420 You guys are outbreeding insidious parasites on the American way of life.

01:04:22.960 You will never look like us.

01:04:24.340 You will never eat like us.

01:04:25.600 You won't build buildings like us.

01:04:27.260 You are nothing.

01:04:28.020 You can build nothing, just like President Trump's great American friends have said.

01:04:32.980 You guys are not us, and get the f*** out.

01:04:35.700 America first.

01:04:36.820 America only.

01:04:37.880 God bless America.

01:04:39.000 Jesus is king.

01:04:40.200 Jesus is king.

01:04:41.080 Thank you.

01:04:41.440 Jesus is king.

01:04:42.600 Jesus is king.

01:04:43.480 Thank you.

01:04:43.940 Jesus is king.

01:04:45.300 Jesus is king.

01:04:46.080 Time has expired.

01:04:48.220 Time has expired.

01:04:49.280 Time has expired.

01:04:52.100 Order in the chambers.

01:04:54.900 Order in the chambers.

01:04:56.600 And next includes our meetings.

01:04:58.240 Jesus is king.

01:04:59.660 Jesus is king.

01:05:01.380 No, it serious is.

01:05:02.060 well this is what happens remember is that one of these city council meetings uh as we mentioned

01:05:15.560 a couple few weeks ago that a uh pastor got up there much much more polite very nice about it

01:05:26.000 very gentle in his approach didn't say anything racist didn't say anything derogatory at all

01:05:32.260 and all he said is like hey why are we renaming the streets after these you know these uh muslim

01:05:38.980 figures that that have no significance to american culture and what was he told by the

01:05:45.100 mayor he was told you're not welcome here get out that's that's what that's what the polite nice

01:05:51.400 people were told and then so when you respond that way to the polite nice people

01:05:58.080 then you end up with that that's what comes next that's always what comes next

01:06:05.320 now if you're listening to the audio podcast an entire line of police officers had to follow

01:06:11.180 uh that guy out of the meeting and as we'll see in a moment to their credit some of these officers

01:06:16.780 accompanying him to his cars a mob of uh muslims surrounded him outside but before we get to

01:06:21.700 that we need to see a little more from this meeting uh it was you know i think we would probably say it

01:06:26.300 was the most uh consequential certainly the most interesting city council meeting in dearborn's

01:06:31.900 history probably not that i've seen very many of them so here's cam higby the journalist who was

01:06:37.200 assaulted and uh here's what he had to say i asked them simply why they were harassing and touching

01:06:44.200 another individual who had stated repeatedly that he was only on their side of the street to talk to

01:06:49.000 them and have a dialogue my phone was smashed you can see the broken camera right there they stole

01:06:54.160 fifty dollars out of my pocket and they stole my microphone receiver i went and i told one of your

01:06:59.300 officers badge number three six six eight that this had happened he told me there was nothing that

01:07:04.920 could be done about it unless i went to the station i told him i can't go to the station i'm working

01:07:09.040 i'm doing my job he said i'm working too i said dad your job is to protect me and all of the

01:07:13.320 people that are out here today okay so we said that i could go into the station later i told him

01:07:17.420 you're never going to catch the guy if i go into the station later he's going to leave he's dressed

01:07:20.680 head to toe in black block i filmed the whole thing but he had a mask on his face you'll never

01:07:25.460 ever get an opportunity to arrest that person ever again if you don't go and get him right now he

01:07:29.840 said sir i can't leave my post five minutes later i caught him in the parking lot on a personal phone

01:07:34.800 call okay repeatedly today i watched people that are in this room get attacked by other people that are in

01:07:41.320 this room one of my favorite quotes from the prophet muhammad a woman's testimony is worth

01:07:45.120 half that of a man's due to the deficiency of her mind god created two sexes one superior and one

01:07:50.480 inferior that's why your women wear hijabs because they're inferior to men that's why in most

01:07:55.120 countries they can't leave their homes without permission of a male guardian is my time up you have

01:07:59.980 30 seconds oh 30 seconds okay great yeah i think i shouldn't feel like a demi in my country that's

01:08:05.180 what i feel like in dearborn michigan it doesn't feel like home i feel like a demi a second

01:08:08.920 class citizen which is what christians are in the majority of muslim countries demis second

01:08:14.100 class citizens in the policing in this city that's exactly what happens and i know rank

01:08:19.260 and file officers in pretty much every city usually want to take care of these problems

01:08:22.380 you're the one giving the orders mr mayor these guys definitely want to do something about them

01:08:27.980 they're business look at them these guys are all business your orders i'm done thank you

01:08:33.320 thank you okay

01:08:34.940 now watching footage like this and there's a lot more like it you have to wonder how much longer

01:08:46.000 can the city of dearborn continue to trade to treat americans like second-class citizens as cam

01:08:50.500 higby says i think that's a pretty fair summary of what happened uh when you're assaulted and the

01:08:57.900 police like tell you to their face that they're not interested in in uh investigating it i mean

01:09:03.120 i'd say that's what it means to be a second-class citizen how much longer can americans tolerate

01:09:08.080 this takeover of dearborn the the hometown of henry ford and the ford motor company and what's going

01:09:14.400 to happen when this escalates even further which it obviously will now make no mistake the foreigners

01:09:22.100 in dearborn are not interested in peace at this point one by one muslims stood up at this city

01:09:26.780 council meeting to mock the americans who complained here's one particularly sassy guy who made one of

01:09:32.780 the dumbest arguments i've ever heard in my life watch bismillah rahman rahim in the name of allah

01:09:38.860 the most gracious the most merciful i just want to say a few things uh before um i start first of all

01:09:48.940 the word sharia just means law saying sharia law is saying law law so it seems like there's quite

01:09:55.900 large group of individuals here who are intellectually inept and if that word is too

01:10:00.680 big for them uh intellectually inept i'll say it again they can google it later this is one of those

01:10:06.200 gotchas that's extremely hard to watch without cringing uncontrollably he really thinks that

01:10:10.280 you know this is some kind of devastating checkmate it's like saying the sahara desert is a nonsense

01:10:14.640 term because sahara means desert in arabic it's the kind of statement you'd make if you're a really

01:10:19.260 annoying person who desperately wants to avoid discussing anything meaningful so you default to

01:10:22.820 some incredibly dumb and annoying linguistic argument that's completely pedantic uh i'm not

01:10:28.180 even going to dispute his translation of translation of sharia although i don't know it's probably wrong

01:10:32.140 maybe it's not in this country we use the term sharia law as a shorthand for islamic law as opposed

01:10:37.200 to actual functioning legal systems uh ones that don't call for beheading when you leave the islamic

01:10:42.580 faith for example and this speaker knows that he just wants to avoid the topic and as the guy

01:10:47.020 continue to speak we're going to discover why he doesn't want to talk about substance watch

01:10:52.360 it is incredible that individuals who are charged with beating cops with bats are allowed to come

01:11:05.000 to this city and say that they are going to take a holy book and burn it this is not free speech

01:11:11.900 and this is not hate speech this is speech that will initiate violence that is correct this will

01:11:19.060 initiate violence you are coming to come and burn a book that muslims hold very dear to their heart

01:11:28.740 so did you catch that islam is the religion of peace muhammad is merciful he says

01:11:35.360 and uh then he says that if you mock islam then you're causing violence you're responsible for the

01:11:42.360 violence that muslims will inflict on you i mean that's what he's saying

01:11:45.920 you see how that works say well we're the religion of peace but if you make fun of us we'll uh

01:11:51.120 we'll you know assault you so so don't be violent by making fun of us okay because you're going to

01:11:56.760 cause us to be violent against you know to be clear uh it wasn't just muslims who encouraged

01:12:00.940 violence against americans several members of antifa type groups also spoke watch i'm part of

01:12:07.560 the group bam by any means necessary our full name is the coalition to defend affirmative action

01:12:13.340 integration immigrant rights and fight for equality by any means necessary and we came today to say

01:12:19.800 that fascists are not welcome in dearborn the likes of hudson and lang are not welcome in dearborn

01:12:27.200 i think that that was made extremely clear by the action today people saw what was happening

01:12:33.860 and they came out and provided the welcome that such people deserve and i think this really sets

01:12:42.420 a model to other cities who are facing these same kinds of attacks by the end of the march that i was

01:12:51.280 on they went from being maybe i don't know around 50 people to like three guys with a banner because

01:12:59.760 they had been scared away and i think that is exactly the kind of action that is needed and i think

01:13:06.560 dearborn really set the model for how to deal with these situations

01:13:11.120 so this masked activist saying her political opponent should be stopped by any means necessary

01:13:18.120 is openly celebrating the fact that her political opponents were intimidated into silence so this is

01:13:23.240 an admission of a constitutional violation which she should be prosecuted for the fake non-profit

01:13:29.160 she belongs to which andy no has extensively reported on should be shut down but of course that probably

01:13:33.540 won't happen more than two months after the murder of charlie kirk has a single leftist group like

01:13:37.920 this been investigated much less shut down well this would be pretty good place to start for now these

01:13:43.760 terrorists are emboldened for obvious reasons another masked activist uh condemned the city council for

01:13:49.920 failing to use law enforcement to shut down the protesters watch sorry i'm standing here today

01:13:58.880 in solidarity with several members of our community that are here and who attended our march to condemn

01:14:04.880 anthony hudson the jake lang and their fascist supporters and also to condemn this council's poor abysmal

01:14:12.000 attempts to protect them uh the police outside but they did nothing to really disperse uh the crowd of fascists

01:14:19.980 all they did was protect them and that is wrong um

01:14:23.360 as a result of these uh kinds of threatening statements as well as the actual violence that was on display

01:14:31.020 jake lang and cam higby requested a police escort out of the uh out of the meeting they asked the police officer

01:14:37.300 to accompany them to their cars unfortunately the officer agreed not that it should have been necessary

01:14:41.080 task in the first place and even with the officers there a few people tried to harass them anyway

01:14:46.440 at this rate it's only a matter of time until the violence escalates uh everybody knows that

01:14:52.940 and no sane or decent person wants that to happen and tifa wants that to happen

01:14:58.720 but the last thing that a sane or decent person wants in america is violence

01:15:03.640 but the problem is you cannot work to undermine american identity and national sovereignty and

01:15:10.560 scold and castigate and condemn every american who objects and tell them to leave town especially tell

01:15:18.020 the nice ones to leave town and then be surprised when the whole situation devolves into chaos

01:15:23.480 now the only solution the only the only way to prevent the chaos is to return american cities to americans

01:15:31.140 to return america to americans it's only possible solution here it's the only one that can work

01:15:36.640 but the moment for whatever reason some prominent figures who claim to be on the right are actually

01:15:42.040 training their fire on the people who are protesting the muslim takeover of dearborn rather than muslim

01:15:47.520 foreigners themselves so here's what jake shields wrote for example in response to a video of one of

01:15:53.720 lang's protests quote muslims don't hate christians so i'm not sure what the point of this is

01:15:57.920 do this in brooklyn in a mostly jewish community

01:16:00.660 so i guess the idea is that in order to dunk on the jewish communities we're supposed to forget

01:16:06.580 about the fact that muslims have been killing christians for 1400 years muslims don't hate

01:16:11.440 christians what in the world are you babbling about they're killing christians across the world right now

01:16:17.420 as we speak particularly in nigeria as we discussed a few weeks ago every year muslims are executing

01:16:24.000 thousands of christians because of their faith meanwhile islamic countries are also flooding our

01:16:28.220 country with immigrants who hate us and who openly threaten us at city council meetings

01:16:32.320 but we're supposed to believe that muslims have no hatred for christians whatsoever

01:16:36.460 even though that statement defies over a millennium of human experience

01:16:41.240 after i challenged shields publicly he responded by claiming that christians have killed far more

01:16:46.960 muslims than the other way around which isn't true and and then he pivoted again to like well we need

01:16:54.240 to talk about jews that's all he wants to talk about and as i told him on x this is just full-on

01:17:00.820 anti-christian propaganda something straight from the left-wing reddit fever swamps talking points

01:17:06.100 that are totally indistinguishable from the far left an effort to distract conservatives from doing

01:17:11.060 what needs to be done which is which is uh taking back our national sovereignty and we can't fall for

01:17:18.160 it i mean there are some people ostensibly on the right for whom you know hating israel is is literally

01:17:23.940 the only issue that matters the only one they would happily let our country succumb to a third world

01:17:29.220 invasion if it meant we would have more people here who don't like israel so israel first from the other

01:17:35.780 direction as i pointed out many times now in any case the time for a national federal response

01:17:40.500 to this invasion is long overdue but there hasn't been one and therefore this week the governor of

01:17:46.300 texas greg abbott decided to take action on his own he designated care and the muslim brotherhood as

01:17:51.380 foreign terrorist organizations here it is governor greg abbott also today labeling two islamic groups as

01:17:59.140 terrorist and criminal organizations and his proclamation bans the groups and those connected to them

01:18:04.320 from acquiring land in texas fox for sean rabbit our newsroom with the still developing story sean yeah very

01:18:09.840 much so the two groups are the muslim brotherhood and care the council on american islamic relations

01:18:15.420 now neither are on any state department or federal terrorist and while only the federal government

01:18:20.160 has the power to designate a foreign terrorist organization the governor does have the authority

01:18:25.420 to issue a proclamation and apply state penalties if there's a violation in issuing that proclamation

01:18:31.420 tuesday governor abbott said that the actions taken by the muslim brotherhood and care to support terrorism

01:18:38.260 across the globe and subvert our laws through violence intimidation and harassment are unacceptable

01:18:44.360 today he said i designated the muslim brotherhood and care as foreign terrorist organizations and

01:18:50.140 transnational criminal organizations these radical extremists are not welcome in our state

01:18:54.960 and are now prohibited from acquiring any real property interest in texas

01:18:59.140 care and the muslim brotherhood deny these allegations of course but the evidence is pretty clear

01:19:05.060 during a federal prosecution related to terrorism financing nearly two decades ago care which is basically

01:19:09.560 a subsidiary of the muslim brotherhood was named as a co-conspirator in an effort to funnel millions

01:19:13.940 of dollars to hamas which the u.s designates as a terror group care's founders were also in close

01:19:18.980 communication with hamas as abbott wrote in his proclamation quote hassan al-bana who funded the

01:19:25.040 founded the muslim brotherhood professed that jihad is an obligation from allah on every muslim

01:19:29.740 and that jihad means fighting unbelievers plundering their wealth destroying their places of worship

01:19:33.900 and smashing their idols even in the present day the supreme guide of the muslim brotherhood has stated

01:19:39.140 that the organization's primary goal is to establish islam's mastership of the world and to forcibly impose

01:19:44.540 sharia law worldwide the governance proclamation adds care is an islamist organization that according

01:19:49.600 to the fbi was founded as a front group for hamas and care and its members have repeatedly employed

01:19:53.860 affiliated with and supported individuals promoting terrorism uh terrorism related activities

01:19:59.760 now there's also new reporting that care allegedly cut a thousand dollar checks to campus radicals who

01:20:05.200 besieged american universities back in 2023 so they're directly funding anarchy in this country

01:20:10.020 going after these two organizations isn't going to stop the kinds of problems we're seeing in

01:20:14.020 places like dearborn but it's a start and the federal government needs to follow through at this

01:20:19.220 point there's no other option there's also some reporting today that as a favor to qatar the trump

01:20:25.540 administration may be holding back but i don't know if that's true or not there's no reason to do

01:20:30.420 that we elected this administration to target foreign invaders well here you go and we need to

01:20:38.300 dismantle their institutions if we're ever going to remove them from power

01:20:41.300 the islamification of america is one of the greatest threats we face to our country and to our national

01:20:47.660 identity it's impossible to be an american first nationalist unless you're taking a stand against this

01:20:53.460 remember that dearborn is the place where protesters chanted death to america

01:20:58.100 again you're not america first if you align with people who literally chant death to america

01:21:10.500 i mean opposing those who want to see the death of our country explicitly is about the lowest possible

01:21:17.060 bar for america first we need to protect and preserve our country and we elected this administration to do

01:21:22.500 exactly that to represent our country to the exclusion of every other and but we're getting

01:21:27.700 taken advantage of all over the country by people who come here and hate us it's not just happening in

01:21:34.340 dearborn city journal just published an article on the extent of somali muslim fraud in minnesota which is

01:21:39.540 far worse than anyone realized they're not just stealing our money with various welfare schemes

01:21:43.460 they're also using that money to fund islamic militants and terrorists quote a source described

01:21:47.620 the close links between the somali american community in minnesota and islamic terror groups

01:21:50.980 abroad 10 years ago the source was recruited as an independent contractor for a three-letter agency

01:21:55.860 investigation into the minnesota men who had joined or attempted to join isis that year a homeland

01:22:00.660 security task force report found that minnesota led the nation in the number of americans who had

01:22:05.540 joined or attempted to join isis of the 58 americans who had done so nearly half came from minnesota

01:22:10.740 relationship is ongoing this is a third rail conversation but the largest funder of al-shabaab

01:22:16.020 is the minnesota taxpayer the source said there's a real issue here that is real and if there's ever

01:22:21.300 an event that is traceable back to these funds or to people from this area then this situation will

01:22:25.460 take on a whole new set of optics now there's another recent article by armin rosen called the shame of

01:22:31.300 our cities how minneapolis became the medicaid fraud capital usa it's also worth reading if you're

01:22:36.260 interested in the mechanics of some of these fraudulent schemes but really the mechanics don't

01:22:39.780 matter the people doing this shouldn't be in the country in the first place the fact that they're

01:22:43.780 stealing from us and funding terrorists is just more reason to put an end to this now these stories

01:22:50.340 and this city council meeting in dearborn are the clearest possible sign that we're running out of time

01:22:55.220 to rescue america from this foreign invasion we should never have to witness a scene like

01:23:01.060 that city council meeting ever again within the borders of the u.s we shouldn't have to wonder if

01:23:06.180 our tax dollars are funding fake anti-american non-profits much less terrorists and we should

01:23:11.140 accept nothing less than the full weight of the federal government coming down on these invaders and

01:23:15.380 returning america to americans hey there i'm daily wire executive editor john bickley and i'm georgia
