3 ringleaders of the anti-ICE mob who stormed a church in Minneapolis have been arrested, AG Pam Bondi announced today on Twitter. Now, there are a lot of people that are upset that Don Lemon was not arrested, but we re going to get into why that happened and the conditions surrounding that. There s also a big lie going around that Democrats are lying about ICE and getting a 5-year-old in custody and stuff. So we ll go over that and prove that the murder rate has dropped precipitously in 2025, and kids can t read.
00:01:29.000Everybody that says nothing ever happens, well, today is a bad day for you.
00:01:33.000Three ringleaders of the anti-ICE mob who stormed a church in Minneapolis over the weekend have been arrested.
00:01:38.000AG Pam Bondi announced today on Twitter.
00:01:41.000Now, there's a lot of people that are upset that Don Lemon was not arrested, but we're going to get into why that happened and the conditions surrounding that.
00:04:04.000I think if you like, if you macrodose like aspirin as well, this is not a health recommendation for anyone at home, but it will make your eyes much bluer.
00:04:16.000Well, from the New York Post, we're going to jump right into it.
00:04:19.000Three ringleaders of anti-ICE mob who stormed a church, including school board member arrested, A.G. Pam Bondi announces a BLM leader who served on a school board awoke TikToker and a third alleged ringleader of an anti-ICE mob who stormed a Minnesota church on Sunday.
00:04:35.000Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday.
00:04:37.000We have arrested Nake Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on City's Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
00:04:45.000A.G. Bondi said, listen loud and clear, we do not tolerate attacks on places of worship.
00:04:53.000Armstrong allegedly led the Raush group, including Don Lemon, from the Radical Justice Network, to storm the church and call out resident pastor David Eastwood, accusing him of moonlighting as the acting field office director for ICE in Minnesota.
00:05:06.000A picture of Armstrong being, a picture of Armstrong being led away in handcuffs was shared by the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noam on next Thursday morning.
00:05:15.000I think that this is evidence that there is actual things happening at the DOJ.
00:05:24.000People love to say nothing ever happens.
00:05:27.000And I understand the impulse because people wanted to see like Trump come in and just start swinging the hammer and start arresting everybody that they didn't like.
00:05:36.000That was never realistic, in my opinion.
00:06:17.000I mean, I just think justice was served and that they targeted the person that was funding and organizing it.
00:06:22.000And they will, you know, we're out to see if they're going to keep arresting every person that was there and if they're going to, how harsh it's going to be.
00:06:30.000But the organizer, I think you actually have this girl pulled up.
00:07:46.000She's out there consistently trying to not just raise funds and stuff, but she's organizing these protests, which in my opinion, they're not legal protests at all, right?
00:07:57.000Going into a church is clearly illegal.
00:08:12.000Like, they might think they were protesting, but I guess because of the unruly nature of the experience, the DOJ, or at least Harmeth Dylan, I think, was referring to it as a riot.
00:08:22.000This is the first person you obviously want to bring in front of a bring in front of a judge.
00:08:27.000Again, to Phil's point, because she has experience organizing.
00:08:30.000She has experience in these activist networks.
00:08:33.000It's a safe bet that a lot of these Minneapolis area activist networks probably depend on her, depend on her experience, her leadership, these sort of things.
00:08:40.000But, I mean, to a lot of people in the audience point, like, we want to see a full-blown crackdown from the DOJ.
00:08:47.000I can be a little patient, you know, to make sure they get these cases down right, to make sure they have this all buttoned up when they do, again, start prosecuting.
00:08:55.000But I do think Don Lemon needs to be held accountable here.
00:08:58.000I think, again, to Bobby's point, the lack of high-profile arrests is a little frustrating to people because we did see under the Biden administration that, again, the DOJ is capable of going after the top dogs when they want to.
00:09:11.000I have a lot of grace for the Trump administration, the DOJ, because, again, it's hard to root out all of these deep state apparatchiks that are, you know, that make up the DOJ.
00:09:23.000But at a certain point, I think Don Lemon really would send a massive message to the left.
00:09:27.000And that should be, I know it probably is a big focus for the DOJ, but they really need to get that across the finish line.
00:09:34.000Today I was thinking that about it, and like maybe that it would be a bad message to send.
00:09:38.000It would send a message if you arrested Don Lemon, but like if you really want to screw it in, you go after the little guy that can't defend themselves.
00:09:45.000I know it's a horrible thing to say because that's what they did with January 6th.
00:09:48.000The people that don't have the money to afford the defense funds, the people that were there kind of like just came along for the ride, you crush them.
00:09:55.000And it's not, that's not necessarily the ethical thing to do, but that's if you really want to, because they're nobodies.
00:10:00.000The news won't make a big deal out of John Doe, number seven, like, but Don Lemon is going to get constant headlines as long as he's in jail every day.
00:10:07.000It'll be about Don Lemon, be the pariah, you know?
00:10:10.000So to that point, if they broke the law, I think they should arrest them.
00:10:13.000It doesn't matter whether the big guy or the little guy.
00:10:18.000So about to the point of Don Lemon, right?
00:10:21.000The DOJ attempts to charge Don Lemon over storming St. Paul Church with an anti-IS group.
00:10:26.000The magistrate declines to sign the complaint.
00:10:29.000So the DOJ actually put the effort in to get Don Lemon, but it seems that the magistrate wouldn't sign the paperwork.
00:10:37.000Now, I've heard conflicting reports that this particular magistrate was a guy that had signed a bunch of the January 6th stuff.
00:10:46.000But because there's conflicting reports, I don't want to talk about the guy's name and stuff.
00:10:49.000But from the post-millennial, they say a federal magistrate judge in Minnesota has reportedly refused to sign a complaint from the Department of Justice charging former CNN host Don Lemon in connection with the storming of the St. Paul church.
00:11:00.000Lemon was seen embedded with the anti-IS agitators, kissing one of the organizers on the cheek and handing out coffee.
00:11:06.000A source familiar with the matter told CBS News that the Attorney General is enraged at the magistrate's decision.
00:11:11.000This comes after two women, organizer Nakima Levy Armstrong and St. Paul school board member Chantilly Louise Allen have been charged with violations of the FACE Act for their roles in the incident.
00:11:22.000A separate source told the outlet that the Department of Justice could still find other avenues through which to charge Don Lemon.
00:11:29.000Now, I do think that they're going to end up charging him.
00:11:33.000I think that they're going to, because I think that they want that scalp.
00:11:36.000I think that they really do want to have that high-profile person.
00:11:40.000But I also think that they have to get it past judges.
00:11:44.000And there are so many activist judges that are in, I mean, all across the United States.
00:11:49.000It makes me wonder, on January 6th, I remember there was a lot of people that got arrested that were journalism, doing journalism in the Capitol.
00:11:56.000But I remember there was this one clip where it showed this angle that was kind of behind the guards of the guys coming up the stairs.
00:12:03.000And I don't think that that guy was ever charged for anything.
00:12:28.000They could assemble a grand jury to seek a charge.
00:12:31.000So it's not the end of the world, but I think it's in this postmillennial article.
00:12:35.000You might have read already is that DAG was furious with the federal magistrate, as she should be.
00:12:40.000Because again, I mean, the fact that they can pop all these other people on Face Act charges, but they can't get Don Lemon just tells you that probably there is some sway over this magistrate.
00:12:50.000The problem with the grand jury is it's going to be assembled in Minnesota.
00:12:56.000But the DOJ, again, I'm not necessarily like a panic in here, but the Biden administration did figure this out quite often.
00:13:04.000So I think the right part of the reason why the Biden administration figured it out is because they already had judges in place that would do this.
00:13:10.000The Trump administration has not been able to really fill out the judiciary the way that the Obama administration and the Biden administration.
00:13:20.000Yeah, judges are getting hung up all the time, and it's because Republicans are weak and they are still sticking with this antiquated blue slips system, which is just like hamstering us.
00:13:27.000And it's a completely optional system.
00:14:12.000Civil rights division assistant attorney general Harmy Dylan wrote in a response to Lemon claiming he was at the church in a journalistic capacity.
00:14:18.000She says, no one has the right to protest by trespassing into a private house, especially a house of God Almighty.
00:14:25.000Freedom of the press does not protect journalists nor anyone else when they are actively committing crimes.
00:14:32.000The idea that Don Lemon wants you to internalize and want you to really believe is that he was just there covering.
00:14:38.000But like they said earlier in the postmillennial piece, he walked up to Nakima and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
00:14:44.000He was handing out coffee to the people that were there.
00:14:46.000That goes beyond just being a journalist.
00:14:48.000I mean, if you're in a combat zone and you're wearing a press badge, but you're handing out magazines full of ammunition to the guys or you're walking around with the group that's going to attack someone and you're handing out food or coffee, there's going to be a whole lot of questions about are you really a journalist?
00:15:09.000And I think that that's the same kind of situation here.
00:15:12.000Don Lemon could have gone there and actually acted like a journalist, but you could listen to the questions that he was asking the pastor there or the preacher there.
00:15:21.000And he's obviously politically aligned with the protesters.
00:15:27.000He knew about the situation beforehand.
00:15:30.000They informed him they wanted him to cover it because he's aligned with them politically.
00:15:34.000Again, he was handing out coffee, you know, helping to organize this or at least making them more comfortable.
00:15:41.000So I don't think that you can actually, you know, realistically or convincingly make the argument that he wasn't involved.
00:15:47.000Can say he wasn't one of the organizers, but he was definitely one of the protesters, particularly when he was there asking questions that were looking to make people uncomfortable, which he said in a follow-up interview after the show.
00:16:00.000It seemed like the foreknowledge was kind of part of the problem.
00:16:04.000The sad part about all of this is that even if they do arrest Don Lemon, this activist woman, I think, kind of got exactly what she wanted.
00:16:11.000I don't think that these people are going to go to prison for multiple years.
00:16:14.000I would bet if they even do get prosecuted, they serve little to no time at all or get a slap on the wrist.
00:16:19.000And now every person that never knew who that activist girl was now knows who she is.
00:16:23.000And she's going to use this as a badge of honor going forward.
00:16:26.000I watched the, you know, like the perp walk type photos on New York Post, and it's, this is the most press these people have ever got.
00:16:32.000And Don Lemon, for lack of, for, for lack of a better word, he's going to get a ton of press from this as well.
00:16:38.000And I think that in the end, they're not going to serve something proportionate enough to how much this is going to galvanize their position in their whole group of agitators.
00:16:48.000Now, does that mean that you don't prosecute them?
00:16:50.000No, but I think it's going to end up helping them in the end.
00:16:52.000And they're not going to really serve that much time.
00:16:55.000I bet they bet none of them serve time at all.
00:16:57.000So I'm not sure what kind of time they're facing with the charges.
00:17:01.000I'm not even sure what they're being charged with.
00:17:04.000But the idea that, and I know that you said, you know, we should prosecute him.
00:17:11.000I don't think that we should be looking for reasons to be negative about it just because this is actually the first kind of victory that the DOJ is kind of giving to us.
00:17:25.000And again, I don't know what the charges are going to be, and I don't know how long the maximum sentence is, but it's my opinion that they should be like, you should throw the book at them, right?
00:17:35.000Like whatever the maximum is, that's what they should get.
00:17:38.000And I don't see a whole lot of, you know, I don't find the arguments against that convincing.
00:17:45.000And what you're alluding to is something that we hear fairly frequently when people say, well, you don't want to, and not that, again, not that you're saying this because this is a bit of a different argument, but it rings similar to the argument, well, you don't want to do the things that the Democrats would do, or you don't want to do this because you'll anger the left or you'll embolden them or you'll upset them.
00:18:09.000And that is just, to me, that's not convincing.
00:18:12.000You have to exercise power when you have it.
00:18:14.000And you have to do everything you can to make sure the charges stick and make sure that they go to jail for as long as possible.
00:18:20.000And the reason is they're going to do that to conservatives when they get into power again.
00:18:26.000The days of polite politics, they're long gone.
00:19:22.000So, I mean, that is a good point, though.
00:19:23.000I mean, they could be seeking press through martyrship.
00:19:26.000It's just they're making the calculation that they're not going to get two to three years because that would be very dehydrating for their.
00:19:32.000If it was like three months and it blew them up, it's like maybe they baked that into the cake where they're like, this is going to make us look like a freedom fighter.
00:19:41.000And what they did was completely purposeless.
00:19:44.000I remember during the George Floyd time of year in Florida, I saw these people yelling at people that were just sitting at a restaurant.
00:19:51.000They're like, you're white and you're going to sit here while George Floyd.
00:19:54.000They're like, what are you even talking about?
00:19:55.000So it was a completely purposeless protest.
00:20:01.000I think that the point of that is to intimidate people on the right.
00:20:04.000I really do think that it was about intimidating not just the people that were at that church, but other people that are basically on the right, other people that go to church, basically saying, look, you're not safe, right?
00:20:16.000They're saying you're not safe in your house of worship.
00:20:18.000You're not safe walking around the street.
00:20:20.000And this is something that politicians have said.
00:21:02.000But what I'm saying is, is that there could have been a lot of people that were at that church service that agreed that ICE is bad.
00:21:09.000Just because they're at church doesn't mean that they disagree, that they think Renee Good should have been hurt by that.
00:21:15.000So I'm just saying there was no specific stance that they were taking just by the act of being in that church at that time.
00:21:22.000They could have been leftists in there that just happened to be at church and these people march in and they're yelling at them.
00:21:27.000If it was some type of right-wing organization or a specific thing where it's like, these people have all declared that they believe this thing, then that would make more sense.
00:21:36.000Not that I'm saying that they don't want to do what you're saying.
00:21:38.000I think that's why they targeted like the Southern Baptist church specifically, because the SBC, the Southern Baptist Convention, it's an overwhelmingly conservative denomination.
00:21:45.000It's like 80% Republican, I'm pretty sure.
00:21:47.000And I think that's actually why it matters, the specific church that they went after.
00:21:50.000Because again, to your point, if it was like a Methodist church or Episcopalian, probably the majority of congregates would be agreeing with their protests.
00:21:57.000But the fact that they've specifically gone after evangelicals is a very strategically smart play if you're like a leftist trying to intimidate.
00:22:04.000Because again, like evangelicals are the largest religious group in the United States.
00:22:09.000They have a very conservative temperament to begin with.
00:22:11.000And then you have people like Jennifer.
00:22:12.000I think it's Jennifer Welch came out after when she was interviewing Don Lemon and she was like, yeah, the church was filled with white supremacists because she's saying, again, from her perspective, that is how they view evangelicals.
00:22:21.000They view evangelicals as a stand-in for middle Americans.
00:22:23.000They view evangelicals as these kitschy conservatives that just aren't up with the times, these sorts of things.
00:22:29.000And so I think that's specifically why they went after that church.
00:22:31.000I mean, I know they were alleging that the pastor was like some like moonlighting as an ICE field agent, field off agent officer, whatever you want to call it.
00:22:38.000But I think it was like a very strategic decision they made to go after a Southern Baptist church.
00:22:43.000To your point, we've got this video here from one of the protesters that was arrested today.
00:23:24.000Now, he didn't know any of the people in that church, but he just is going to accuse them of being white supremacists to justify his actions, right?
00:23:34.000The pastor, even if the pastor was an ICE agent, he worked with ICE or whatever, that doesn't make him a white supremacist.
00:23:42.000They say, well, you're a white supremacist.
00:23:44.000You're a Nazi, you're this, so I'm justified.
00:23:47.000It's all about moralizing their attack on you because they don't want to think of, or they don't think of themselves as the bad guy at all.
00:23:55.000They wanted to sit there and say, look, we're obviously the good guys.
00:24:00.000So what we're doing isn't trespassing and breaking the law and invading your church service, which is a totally peaceful and very normal American thing to do.
00:24:11.000What we're doing is we're breaking up a white supremacist rally.
00:24:14.000We're in here, you know, we're like Captain America punching the Nazis.
00:24:18.000And that's exactly what this guy thinks, how he thinks of himself, you know?
00:24:21.000And so I think it's worth pointing that out.
00:24:25.000This guy is all, I mean, in my opinion, he's all bad, but they're going to sit there and they're going to always just justify their behavior and say, look, those people are obviously bad people.
00:24:36.000And it goes beyond just the people in the church.
00:24:39.000That's what they think of anyone that doesn't agree with them because you'll see people all the time saying, well, you know, that guy's a Nazi.
00:25:35.000Well, I don't think, I think it's actually a miscalculation to say that people on the left call you racist or a white supremacist purely for like framing purposes.
00:25:43.000I don't think they actually think that far ahead.
00:25:45.000I think they legitimately, in their worldview, they believe that anybody that would be opposed to any sort of immigration enforcement whatsoever, they genuinely believe you are racist.
00:25:54.000They genuinely believe white supremacists.
00:25:55.000They're not labeling you that just as a justification for their beliefs.
00:25:58.000They legitimately think that he legitimately thought you're a racist.
00:26:01.000He legitimately thinks these people in this church are white supremacists because of their, even in your case, like vague, vague support of borders, these sorts of things.
00:26:09.000Because in the leftist framework, like all of this is reductive.
00:26:11.000All of this is just impediments to like individuality, impediments to sort of like liberating people from these like pre-assigned identities.
00:26:20.000And so it's actually like, if you look at it from a leftist framework, it would make absolute sense that someone that is just against Hillary Clinton broadly would be a racist because in their, again, in their framework, it makes total sense.
00:26:30.000Maybe it's that he heard on Rachel Maddow that Trump was a racist and anybody not Hillary Clinton was a Trump supporter, therefore also as racist as Trump.
00:26:48.000So by not voting for Hillary Clinton, not like, you know, crying tears of joy at the thought of Hillary Clinton being president, you are then abetting Donald Trump to win in the election.
00:26:57.000So, you know, it goes through a few different levels.
00:27:00.000But yeah, by not, again, throwing your full weight behind Hillary Clinton, that and their in their framework makes you a Trump supporter and their framework because you're not helping Hillary beat Trump, that sort of thing.
00:27:12.000It's funny that they thought that when you were talking about a very specific legal issue, it's like, what about this email scandal?
00:27:56.000It was just the breaking point where I'm like, something happened to people between 2010 and 2015 that was like unforeseen.
00:28:03.000I noticed this with older generations is you guys always talk about how you have friends that are on the left, friends that are liberals, these sorts of things.
00:28:15.000I find that like, I don't really have any friends that are on the left because I think there is like a filtering that occurred probably with younger millennials and then down where things got so calcified, the, what's the word I'm looking for?
00:28:27.000The stratification of political beliefs occurred at such a level that legitimately, I don't really have much to talk about with someone that's on the left.
00:28:34.000Like we are in two completely different worlds at that point.
00:28:37.000Like so the actual foundation for a friendship to even be built on is just not there.
00:28:41.000When previously, like when you guys were growing up, the disagreements would be on maybe more like policy grounded things like tax policy, maybe your view on foreign policy, these sorts of things.
00:28:51.000Where now it's like literally, if you're on the right or left, that is a reduction of your worldview fundamentally.
00:28:56.000And if you just have a completely different worldview from someone, you're literally one person seeing, you know, a six, the other person seeing a nine.
00:29:02.000It's really hard to find the ground to like actually build a friendship on unless you like grew up together.
00:29:06.000And even that case, like a lot of people that I grew up with that have, you know, developed like left-wing beliefs, we don't really even keep in touch anymore.
00:29:11.000Cause again, it's like, you can only talk about sports for so long.
00:29:14.000You know, I think it just wasn't in your face, really.
00:29:17.000Like when I was building a lot of my friend group, it wasn't in my face.
00:29:21.000It wasn't like they could lock you in your house and force you to get vaccinated or you lose your job.
00:29:25.000It wasn't that, it didn't seem that serious.
00:29:33.000We didn't talk about it in such a way where it felt more daunting on our everyday life and as visible.
00:29:38.000Trump is on TV every single day, no matter whether you want to know about him or not.
00:29:42.000And I think that that brings it into the conversation where you see the fragment between you and that person more and it makes those decisions to stay apart.
00:29:50.000Oh, COVID for like because it was, they became afraid of people that weren't vaccinated.
00:29:55.000They'd be like, they're going to harm me just by being.
00:29:58.000And other people were like, they're crazy just by, they're going to try and force me to take a medicine I don't want.
00:30:05.000And that's like when you're afraid of someone just for being there because they say you can't come over.
00:30:12.000How many people said, oh, you can't come to my wedding if you're not vaccinated or you can't come and visit my newborn baby if you're not vaccinated.
00:30:24.000How do you hang out with a person if that's the case?
00:30:26.000And then it further starts to bleed into where maybe they sit there thinking, well, if he won't do this to come to my wedding, then is he really my friend?
00:30:46.000I think it started before then, but I just mean that the level of severity for how much it could fragment your a potential friendship with a person was never more in your face really until then.
00:30:57.000Where it's just like, if you didn't do this one specific thing, it's dangerous to hang out with you.
00:31:02.000And if you don't believe this thing, you want to kill grandma and kill your neighbor.
00:31:06.000It's like, it never really seemed that serious.
00:31:08.000If we disagree on foreign policy or monetary policy or whatever, even the border.
00:31:13.000It's like, that's not my, that's not, you don't come to my wedding.
00:31:16.000Whereas like this is, it's like, you want me to die or vice versa.
00:31:20.000And I almost either side could think the same thing.
00:31:23.000We're going to jump to this story here.
00:31:25.000And this is more of the significant disparity between what the left believes and what the right believes.
00:31:33.000But this is a little more blatant and in your face.
00:31:37.000So, the Washington Post is reporting that ICE detains four children from Minnesota District, including a five-year-old.
00:31:46.000Washington Post says, immigration and customs enforcement agents in Minnesota have detained at least four children from the same school district this month, including a five-year-old boy.
00:31:56.000School officials in Minneapolis suburb said Wednesday.
00:31:58.000The events have inflamed tensions between residents and ICE officers, sparked by the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Goode by an ICE officer this month.
00:32:06.000The Trump administration has sought to justify the presence of ICE personnel by saying the officers are detaining immigrants convicted on violent crimes.
00:32:13.000The administration doesn't have to justify ICE's presence.
00:32:17.000The fact that there are illegal immigrants in Minnesota and Minnesota does not detain and turn these illegal immigrants over to the federal government for deportation is the only justification that ICE needs.
00:32:30.000And it bothers me that the Post would even portray it like this, right?
00:32:37.000Why detain a five-year-old girl? Zena Svetnik said.
00:32:41.000The superintendent of the Columbian Heights Public School District, located just north of Minneapolis, said at a news conference: You cannot tell me that this child is going to be classified as a violent criminal.
00:32:51.000Five-year-old Liam Kone Ramos and his father, who the Department of Homeland Security identified as Adrian Alexander Clonez-Aires in an email statement, were detained in their driveway Tuesday afternoon just as they were returning from the child's school, according to a news release from Columbia Heights Public School.
00:33:07.000Now, this man is an illegal immigrant.
00:33:11.000And when ICE approached, he ran, leaving the five-year-old child standing there.
00:33:19.000One of the ICE agents stayed with the child.
00:33:23.000The other ICE agent took off after the illegal immigrant.
00:33:27.000When you get arrested, if you have kids, your kids are separated from you because they don't put your kid in the jail cell with you.
00:33:40.000This is something that is as mundane an activity, a law enforcement activity, as it can possibly be.
00:34:26.000On January 20th, ICE conducted a targeted operation to arrest Adrian Alexander Clone Ares, an illegal alien from Ecuador who was released into the U.S. by the Biden administration.
00:34:37.000Agents approached the driver, Adrian Allen Alexander Clonez-Aires, fled on foot, abandoning his child.
00:34:43.000For the child's safety, one of our ICE officers remained with the child while the other officers apprehended Clonez-Aires.
00:34:50.000Parents were asked if they wanted to be removed with their children, or ICE will place the children with a safe person the parent designates.
00:34:57.000This is consistent with the past administration's immigration enforcement.
00:35:01.000Parents can take control of their departure and receive a free flight and $2,600 with a CBP home app.
00:35:07.000By using the CBP home app, illegal aliens reserve the chance to come back the right legal way.
00:35:14.000Look, man, if the government is offering you three grand to get out of the United States and you're here illegally and then you could come back, that is the way to do it, right?
00:35:25.000Like, you don't want to get picked up by ICE and then lose the possibility of coming back.
00:35:30.000Take the money and run and file your paperwork and come here legally.
00:35:50.000It reminds me of the reminds of the kids in cages controversy.
00:35:53.000I don't know if we're turning back the clock here.
00:35:55.000Like, Ankh may have to lay this out for, I'm just kidding.
00:35:57.000Everyone remembers the kids in cages, where the left is literally making the argument that we should be throwing children in general population prisons.
00:36:03.000Like, that was the legitimate argument they're making.
00:36:05.000Is they're like, no, you should detain the children with the parents and then put the kids in detainment centers with like other adults.
00:36:14.000Not to mention all of the trafficking going on.
00:36:16.000It's the same thing where it's just like they've latched on to this battle cry that actually doesn't really make any sense under just the lightest bit of scrutiny.
00:36:28.000And but the thing is, like, they already got their talking point.
00:36:30.000There's nothing we can say to someone in the audience.
00:36:32.000There's probably no one watching that would be supporting this sort of talking point.
00:36:37.000But no matter what you say to someone on the left, explaining this out, explaining what the procedure is, what happened, it doesn't matter.
00:37:06.000You leave the five-year-old at the house?
00:37:07.000I mean, look, if you were honest, they could have said that the, or if they wanted, if the press was honest, they could say that the child was in the care of, you know, because that's what it was.
00:37:18.000They were taking care of the five-year-old because it's freezing out.
00:37:22.000You don't leave a kid standing there like, well, that's five years old with no idea what's going on.
00:37:26.000Being like, why did my dad run away from me?
00:37:29.000Why is my dad being chased by the cops?
00:37:31.000Like, you're the ICE officers are trying to take care of the child's best interest by not letting the kids stand there in the freezing cold.
00:38:01.000But an actual congressperson is saying this.
00:38:04.000Another one, Mayor Jacob Fry, five years old.
00:38:07.000This is a child, not a threat to our community.
00:38:09.000When the federal government treats kids like criminals, something has gone seriously wrong.
00:38:13.000Totally made up, making everything worse.
00:38:17.000Now, I mean, Jacob Fry is absolute garbage, right?
00:38:20.000Like, if this guy actually cared about the people in his community, he would be helping to apprehend the criminal aliens and turning them over, but he doesn't want to do that.
00:38:31.000And then there was one thing that I saw.
00:39:06.000Chuck Todd, you know, it's kind of useful that he kind of looks like Jim Kramer because he really is the Jim Kramer of politics where it's like generally the position he has on any sort of incident, the opposite position is probably the correct take to have.
00:39:18.000So yeah, this is just the lack of empathy.
00:39:21.000You should be thankful that ICE is even like demonstrating empathy in the first place because that's, again, their job is to just conduct an operation.
00:39:27.000So the fact that they actually are taking care of these kids, that they actually are demonstrating a degree of empathy is great because it's like, look around the world.
00:39:35.000Look around the world how their federal police handle affairs.
00:39:39.000And you'll find pretty quickly the United States is actually an outlier.
00:39:42.000Certainly not, certainly not the norm.
00:39:45.000Imagine how stupid you would have to believe that, or you'd have to be to believe that ICE just swarmed this five-year-old kid.
00:39:53.000It's like, oh, no, they treated this kid like, if there was an actual video of what actually happened with the kid, I bet it's very nice and very friendly.
00:39:59.000But they're painting it as if they like, you know, rappelled down from a helicopter and tackled him into the fire.
00:40:04.000I mean, it's like the Emilio Gonzalez picture from the 90s where the guy's pointing an MP5 at the kid, you know, to grab him.
00:40:12.000And that happened in the United States, but that was 30 years ago now.
00:40:16.000And like, this is not the way that law enforcement behaves at all anymore because everyone has a phone in their pocket with a video camera.
00:40:25.000And law enforcement can't afford to behave like that.
00:40:30.000They have to do everything they can to abide by the law.
00:40:36.000And they're actually, they try to use as little force as possible.
00:40:42.000That's why having body cameras has been the best thing that's happened to law enforcement in forever because there's so many people that are so quick to say, oh, well, law enforcement does this, law enforcement does that, and they're so bad and blah, blah, blah.
00:40:56.000And it exonerates the police officers every time.
00:41:00.000Well, they're like, they're making hay when the sun shines.
00:41:03.000They're looking for absolutely anything to make you look like an inhuman monster.
00:41:07.000It's just sad that people will actually see this and believe it.
00:41:10.000That's the part that blows my mind the most.
00:41:12.000Not so much that they're doing it because they're trying to make something out of nothing, but that people actually do believe this, that this is actually happening as they're framing it.
00:41:20.000Don't you think that that's motivated though?
00:41:22.000That they believe it because they want to believe it and then they engage in it.
00:41:25.000They engage in spreading the story because they want other people to believe it and they want they want other people to feel the same kind of anger at ICE regardless of whether it's justified.
00:41:35.000I just think that I don't know if it's chicken or the egg, but I just mean that I mean that the fact that people will see something like that from Chuck Todd and be like, wow, or from Mayor Fry and say, wow, they're treating him like an, like an, like a violent combatant.
00:41:49.000Like the fact that people believe that is crazy.
00:41:52.000The fact that they're posting about it is unsurprising to me is what I'm trying to say.
00:41:55.000Like that there is a person on the other end on X that's logging on and seeing that and being like, can you believe how these ICE agents are treating these five-year-olds without even looking into it?
00:42:04.000These guys playing on their emotions, that to me seems par for the course.
00:42:08.000But the fact that people actually believe it is what I'm so surprised about.
00:42:11.000Man, the body cams really were like a total gift for the right.
00:42:30.000And we've gotten some like really hilarious photos out of it.
00:42:33.000Like that one lady that I think she like threw boiling water on the cop and then she like charged on him with a knife and it created like the funniest photo I've ever seen in my life.
00:42:39.000So it's like total lip tard own self-own with that move.
00:42:43.000I wouldn't be surprised if they're advocating against body cameras because it's an invasion of your of your rights or something like that in the near future because it's been such a disaster for them.
00:42:53.000I'm looking forward to robot cops, but I didn't want to hijack the conversation.
00:43:33.000I'm not sure exactly how it went down, but they just went over.
00:43:36.000They went over and the robot took the guy out.
00:43:39.000But the idea of robot cops, I don't think that, I don't think that the American people are ever going to be comfortable with totally autonomous law enforcement.
00:43:49.000But I do think that you'll see in the coming probably five years, you'll see a lot more robot partners.
00:44:21.000Look, man, robots are going to be so cheap and everywhere.
00:44:26.000Nowadays, you can get, there's actual humanoid robots that I posted a link and some stuff about it a couple of months back, probably halfway through the year last year.
00:44:36.000And you can actually get a robot for your house right now.
00:44:43.000When you offer the upper middle class a $30,000 robot that you pay $500 a month for for 72 months, and you've got 6% financing or whatever, and it does your dishes, it picks up after you.
00:45:06.000That will be the hottest product in the country because you're going to have basically this robot that gets consistent updates, downloads, anything that you want it to do.
00:48:40.000That seems to me likely the most likely scenario.
00:48:43.000Although the turning into a humanoid or whatever at the end, I don't know.
00:48:47.000Well, because there was an article in the New York Post from like 10 years ago where they're like by 2025, the majority of women will be having sex with robots.
00:49:14.000That's because nobody's going to want to, you know, like actually having to take it apart to clean it and self-cleaning goonbot in the shower.
00:49:29.000Well, because that's what's interesting is like, you know, a lot of these fellas, a lot of these, the guys are really receiving a lot of vitriol for like rizzing up ChatGPT.
00:49:37.000Because when I see them, you know, show what their chat logs look like, a lot of times it's just like epic game.
00:49:42.000I'm like, you know, I kind of respect you really did rizz up ChatGPT.
00:49:45.000Something that's interesting to me, this is a bit dark, but I've seen this happen a few times, is when a guy like fumbles a girl.
00:49:53.000For people in the crowd, don't know what fumbling means.
00:49:55.000It means he failed to, you know, close a deal, making her his wife, or that sort of thing.
00:50:01.000They load their text messages from the girl they fumbled into ChatGPT to recreate her personality.
00:51:26.000But the person that's doing it to replace her absence, I'd equate that to like those TLC shows where the girl eats paper towels or eats like couch cushions or whatever.
00:51:36.000It's like the guy that marries the doll.
00:51:38.000I'm just going to pretend you don't exist.
00:51:39.000Anything that facilitates humans interacting with humans and helps people that are having problems, you know, communicating with people, I think that it's actually okay.
00:53:25.000And I had to learn how to get through that.
00:53:28.000If you have a chat bot that helps you to learn to interact with people so that way you can go out and do normal people things, not bang toasters, but go out and do normal human being things.
00:53:38.000I think that that's actually a win for society because it'll help to get people to, it'll help to get people to make more babies, to interact, have more fulfilled lives.
00:53:48.000Because human connection is the thing that makes people feel fulfilled.
00:53:51.000And if you are a person that's kind of depressed and don't really know how to talk to people, but you talk with a chat bot and it kind of helps you build up your confidence and you can go out and interact with people better, you're going to have more people that are better adjusted and you're going to have more people that feel more confident going on.
00:54:09.000And obviously it's not going to work for everybody, but the people that it helps will actually have a more fulfilled and gratifying life.
00:54:15.000A little humiliating, but I'll mention it.
00:54:17.000When I got that same benefit from playing The Sims, they had like psychologists help develop the first few, I think, and watching them interact.
00:54:26.000Like if you tried to hug a person over and over again, the person's like, ah, that's true.
00:55:03.000All right, we're going to jump to this next story here.
00:55:06.000A little more white pilling for you guys.
00:55:08.000From CBS News, murders plummeted more than 20% in U.S. last year.
00:55:13.000The largest drop on record study shows.
00:55:15.000I hear that it's the, oh, actually, it says right here.
00:55:17.000Murders plummeted more than 20% in 2025 from the year before, the single largest one-year drop on record, and it might be the lowest murder rate in the U.S. since 1900, a study released Thursday by the Council on Criminal Justice found.
00:55:28.000The annual crime trends report analyzed data from 40 large cities across the United States for 13 different crime types, including murder, carjapping, theft, and drug offenses.
00:55:38.000Alongside homicide, which dropped 21% from 2024, carjackings have declined 61% since 2023, while shoplifting is down 10% since 2024.
00:55:47.000In general, the overall crime rate declined with violent crimes at or below level seen in 2019.
00:55:53.000The analysis found drug offenses were the only category that rose during this period.
00:55:59.000This is actually evidence that deporting people is probably a good thing.
00:56:05.000If you are going to send, if you're going to close the border, right, and stop people coming in, and that's going to have a 20% drop in murder, never open the border again.
00:56:18.000Like, I mean, I mean, obviously, I'm being a little hyperbolic there, but like deporting criminals works.
00:56:25.000Deporting criminals not just gets criminals out, but it makes criminals less likely to commit crime because they're going to get F and deported.
00:56:34.000Yeah, it makes the illegal immigrants less likely to commit violent crimes because they're more likely to get tossed.
00:56:43.000I don't know why I just repeated what you said.
00:57:01.000The second thing is that when Biden was the president, one of the things that Trump said is that the, and a lot of Republicans said is that the crime statistics are not real because they're not reporting to the FBI in these certain areas.
00:57:13.000So the crime statistics are off the charts.
00:57:15.000So it's like, are the time, are the crime statistics that they're giving us now to prove that they're low, are those correct?
00:57:22.000Are they being compared to the ones that were the real statistics that we didn't have because they weren't reporting it?
00:57:33.000So as much as I want and like to celebrate this and would love to believe that it's true, these little small details confuse me where it's like, if we had the worst economy a year ago and now we have the best economy in the world, if we had the highest crime rate ever and now we have the best, it's like, where are we, where are we?
00:57:50.000What are you trying to sell me, CBS News?
00:57:52.000Like, what are you trying to convince me?
00:57:55.000Like, I don't think if you're in the Trump administration or if you're a Trump supporter, we should just be like jumping for joy over this.
00:58:01.000Because to your point, I mean, these cities are starting to phone it in probably maliciously on their crime data because they're like, we can go to these cities.
00:58:30.000Like you're seeing where they play it fast and literally like the racial classifications where it'll be like an obvious like Guatemalan and they're like, it's a white guy.
00:58:59.000Or to re-elect their or to re-elect more Democrats, for example.
00:59:03.000Yeah, the Trump administration has made it very clear that if you can't clean up your mess and we're sending in the National Guard, we're going to put pressure on you.
00:59:08.000We're going to even touch your federal funding.
00:59:13.000I'm 100% supportive of the National Guard coming in.
00:59:17.000But this is why we can't trust the crime data now because they are now directly incentivized to muddy the data.
00:59:23.000And people were saying, people, for the record, people were saying, you can go on Twitter.
00:59:26.000People were saying this when the first crackdown happened in Washington, D.C.
00:59:29.000They said, these police departments are going to start fudging the numbers to keep the Trump administration from sending in the National Guard.
00:59:37.000And also to keep Democrats in power in those respective areas.
00:59:40.000It's like, look, we got the crime down.
00:59:42.000So, you know, if in any movie that you've ever watched about politics, it's like they want the mayor wants to get re-elected.
00:59:47.000Let's just not classify that as what it is.
00:59:50.000But that's a double-edged sword because the Republicans are going to use that saying, look at how successful Donald Trump is.
00:59:55.000Look at how successful Donald Trump's policies have been.
00:59:58.000And so you've got, I mean, I think that the, I'm not sure which is a more compelling narrative because again, if Republicans are saying, look, our immigration policies have caused crime to go down, et cetera, et cetera.
01:00:12.000You know, people that aren't from these cities are going to say, well, okay, well, that's pretty good.
01:00:16.000Maybe I should vote for the Republicans again.
01:00:18.000And then the individual cities, obviously the politicians from the individual cities will say, well, see, my policies are actually good and they're reducing crime.
01:00:28.000So maybe there will be more, maybe Democrats that are in positions of power now will get re-elected, but it still will credit the Donald Trump administration.
01:00:37.000I would just say that I haven't seen them ever reference his job being bad as it relates to murders and or crime.
01:00:45.000I don't think that that's like a winning argument for them.
01:00:48.000So if even if you gave this to him, you still have a whole pile of other issues that you could hammer him on.
01:00:53.000So the murder rate being good serves your ends more than it hurts him.
01:01:02.000Do you think that the Donald Trump administration is going to be able to capitalize on this kind of information and say, look, our policies are helping?
01:01:13.000Because it's just not from a political, like from a political science point of view, it's not actually advantageous to applaud blue cities for lowering crime.
01:01:23.000I mean, you could attribute it to some directives from the federal government, but that just doesn't seem wise.
01:01:29.000The Trump administration right now is actually incentivized to accurately portray the situation in the cities, which is they are out of control.
01:01:36.000They like are crying out for federal intervention.
01:01:40.000I haven't seen, I mean, maybe I'm wrong.
01:01:42.000I actually haven't seen any federal agencies like, you know, chest beating over this data, nor should they.
01:01:50.000They should continue doing what Trump had talked about previously, which is that some of this data is skewed.
01:01:55.000But what's not being talked about, what should be talked about, is that they're also misrepresenting racial crime data.
01:02:14.000You just spot check different cases and it'll be like literally a Guatemalan, literally a black guy.
01:02:19.000And they'll be like, it was a white guy.
01:02:21.000Well, I'm aware of the fact that there are times where they'll go ahead and misrepresent the race of the person committing crime, and particularly when it comes to Hispanic or Latino people, they'll call them white.
01:02:34.000And it's never the other, it's never like a white person getting labeled as black or Hispanic.
01:02:38.000It's just because, again, there's different incentive structures that would kick in if you accurately sort of laid out to the American people like who's committing the violent crime.
01:02:48.000I mean, we saw it after Arena's Rutzco.
01:02:50.000Like everyone for like two weeks was very comfortable going out and saying black crime is a huge problem.
01:02:54.000Just black culture in general is making our cities unlivable.
01:02:58.000But then like two weeks later, granted Charlie happened.
01:03:03.000But then after that, like people stopped talking about it.
01:03:05.000And I was like, okay, well, we're never going to actually like our cities are never going to be livable until we're just very direct and can and confront like black crime as a reality.
01:03:13.000It reminds me of, it reminds me of in 2020 when it was the elections and the ballot issues and proving it.
01:03:20.000And I remember thinking to myself, you know, if I was a leftist mailman, for example, and I obtained a bag of what I knew to be votes and I didn't want Trump to win because I thought he was a fascist dictator that was going to destroy the country and democracy would die forever.
01:03:36.000You know, couldn't I, wouldn't nobody have to tell me that I should just throw these ballots in the garbage and pretend that I lost them if I got them from a, let's say, a nursing home in a red area that I knew that they were likely to be Trump ballots.
01:03:48.000Wouldn't I just know to throw them out because I'm helping to save the dictator?
01:03:52.000I would wager that it's highly likely that these types of things as well could be altered in that same way, where you don't necessarily need to get a directive from the top-down Democratic Party to say, hey, fudge these numbers, but they're like, hey, man, you know, the captain of the police squad says, don't put it in as a black guy, put it in as a white guy.
01:04:09.000And it just kind of trickles through us like an unspoken understanding where this benefits us.
01:04:14.000And what it also does is it makes Trump going and knocking down doors and getting people out not seem like it's justified because it's really not that violent.
01:04:23.000Police unions are one of the last institutions in America that are actually conservative still.
01:04:27.000Like if you go and, again, spot check different cities, look at their police unions, they're typically endorsing Republicans.
01:04:45.000So unfortunately, they're taking directives from those guys.
01:04:48.000And then also a lot of the desk jobs and police departments are not staffed by like patriots that are on the patrol.
01:04:54.000They're staffed by just whoever they can find a lot of times.
01:04:56.000No offense to there's some great people I know that work on police desks, but they're pulled out of like the general population.
01:05:01.000They're not like police, like hardened police officers.
01:05:04.000So those are the people that probably have more of a liberal leaning and would be incentivized to hide the ball a little bit and what's going on in these cities.
01:05:22.000If you were a leftist reporter that was for a, let's call it a middle of the line outlet or something, I don't know how many, how many journalists are there with you on the scene to get whatever the story is?
01:05:32.000Could you alter it a little bit to serve your own ends?
01:05:36.000Because if you frame Trump as the second coming of the worst dictator in the history of time and the democracy is going to die in darkness and we're going to lose democracy forever and this guy represents an existential threat to humanity as a whole, it's like the collective modification that would happen all the way up and down the chain without any directive, I think would be everywhere.
01:05:55.000Yeah, it's all it's all incentive structures.
01:06:08.000It's all like, this kind of looks a little bad.
01:06:10.000Maybe we can clean things up a little bit.
01:06:12.000And they can justify it to themselves.
01:06:14.000They can come up with like reasons for why they're doing these things, even if it's explicitly racial justice or something, which you do see from time to time.
01:06:20.000But yeah, Bobby, I think that's a lot of people.
01:06:21.000More than that, I think that's the motivating factor for most of the left generally.
01:06:31.000And so, yeah, it's not like a top-down directive, even in the media.
01:06:34.000Like, even in the media, it's not the New York Times.
01:06:37.000I mean, they do have a relationship, obviously, with the Democrat Party.
01:06:39.000In many ways, they're like the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, but none of these things require like directives.
01:06:44.000A lot of these things are just these people are instinctually liberals, they're instinctually left-wing, and they view themselves as part of a revolution.
01:06:50.000And so they're going to behave in accordance with that.
01:06:51.000Yeah, that's something that we talked about: the lack of necessity for liberals or progressives to act like progressives, right?
01:06:59.000Like you get the, you don't, whereas there are times where I think there's a script that comes out for specific issues, there are things that they want like the thought leaders to say.
01:07:09.000Overall, you don't have to instruct the progressive on what to say on each individual issue because it's like you don't have to tell a Catholic how to be a Catholic.
01:07:22.000The liberal progressive really does treat their politics as if it's a religion.
01:07:28.000And because of that, you don't have to tell them, oh, this is what you're supposed to think about this, or this is what you're supposed to think about this.
01:07:34.000You'll get some variation in the way that they apply the doctrine.
01:07:40.000But if you're a liberal progressive that went to college, that kind of was indoctrinated with that thought process, it doesn't take someone telling you what to think or this is this issue, you have this opinion, this issue, you have this vision, because the doctrine is part of the way that you see the world.
01:07:58.000When people would talk about critical race theory, that phrase has kind of fallen out of favor and people say, oh, woke is dead, so we don't have to worry about it.
01:08:06.000It's totally wrong because it's not about just one policy or just some people.
01:08:16.000And it's taught from, you know, from great nowadays, there are people that are out in society that were taught from grade school all the way through college and they got into jobs and human resources.
01:08:29.000And so that's just the way they see the world.
01:08:32.000It doesn't have to be, it doesn't have to be instructed to anymore.
01:08:35.000This is, to them, that's how reality is.
01:08:38.000And that's part of why there's such a divide between the right and the left.
01:08:41.000People on the right didn't internalize those ideas or were insulated from them somehow, whether it be through family, through their church, through whatever it may be.
01:08:51.000And people on the left, they really do see the world through this critical lens where you have to try your best to make sure that you are trying to implement justice for the marginalized communities in every aspect and every chance you get.
01:09:08.000Well, you need to look like that's what you're trying to do.
01:09:11.000More so than you actually actually, more than you actually have to be effective at doing it.
01:09:16.000You need people to think that you're empathetic to them.
01:09:20.000You just want them to think that you are like that.
01:09:22.000Which is, it kind of adds to my point about it being a religion.
01:09:25.000Like there are plenty of Christians out there and plenty of people that would say that they're religious, that they're in church on Sunday and then on Tuesday they're out with the boys chasing skirts around town or while their wife's home with the kids or whatever.
01:09:40.000There are plenty of people that can that are doing things just to keep up appearances.
01:09:46.000Yeah, like a lot of leftism I think is very performative where if you come to them and you say, well, even though I want to protect this group of people and protect this class of people, when you put this policy in that you guys think helps this group of people, here's what actually happens.
01:10:23.000I mean, look, if the left really cared about people that were downtrodden and stuff, they'd all be like, you know, progressives.
01:10:30.000I mean, they'd all be capitalists that want to have strong property rights because the engine that takes people out of poverty that has shown over and over again is free markets and property rights.
01:10:42.000Those things, if you give those, if you give a population property rights and free markets, then you're going to see a massive increase in wealth and you're going to see a huge amount of the population be pulled out of poverty.
01:10:54.000And then, I mean, in the United States, the only people that are in actual poverty are people that can't function in our society due to mental illness or sometimes drug addiction.
01:11:04.000But it's a very, very, very small amount of people in the U.S. that are that are chronically poor.
01:11:10.000And whether you like him or not, Ben Shapiro has made this point a lot.
01:11:14.000There's really only three things you got to do.
01:11:15.000Don't have a kid outside of marriage, keep a job for 10 years and get married.
01:11:20.000And you'll probably not be in poverty.
01:11:24.000You may, you know, people hit on hard times, people who lose jobs and stuff.
01:11:29.000But if you do those things, you can get out of poverty and have a pretty good life in the United States.
01:11:35.000Well, irrespective of the cause of the poverty, generally speaking, the free market principles and not the just give us handout is ultimately what will pull them out of it.
01:11:45.000It's like by putting them on the dole, by putting them on food stamps in perpetuity for life and not encouraging them to get a job or whatever, you're creating the environment for them to be trapped in that as opposed to get them out of it.
01:11:58.000So we both want to help the poor person.
01:12:01.000This one will just actually create lasting change.
01:12:03.000This will actually trap them, but you'll get all the woke points in the now.
01:12:07.000And that's why they don't care about what happens.
01:12:09.000They just care about how it looks right now.
01:12:10.000The problem is like with all of this is we're only talking about like what white liberals are advocating for.
01:12:17.000And you see this problem all around the world.
01:12:18.000This is actually like a good example is Malaysia where you have the Malay population which underperforms the Chinese population overperforms.
01:12:25.000And the Malay population in Malaysia sets up these massive incentive networks like from the government through welfare, through food stamps to a degree, these sorts of things.
01:12:34.000Because like you can never expect a group that underperforms for whatever reason you want to prescribe like why they underperform.
01:12:40.000You can never expect them to not advocate for government subsidies.
01:12:43.000They're going to want to subsidize their existence to a degree.
01:12:47.000So the United States, like part of the issue is, yes, white liberals advocate for these policies because they just perceive like it's going to help them, even though it's misguided and wrong.
01:12:55.000But like black Americans, Hispanic Americans to a degree will advocate for these policies purely so they feel like they can keep up with the rest of the country.
01:13:03.000And so it's really, this is not a uniquely American problem.
01:13:05.000This occurs all over the world is when there is a population in a country that underperforms, naturally they're going to advocate for policies that benefit that population, no matter their size.
01:13:14.000Like you see it in South Africa where like black Africans make up like 80% of the country and they have completely reoriented the government to provide them with subsidies, provide them with welfare networks because again, they're just trying to, in their eyes, keep up.
01:13:27.000And so obviously if they're underperforming, they're just going to advocate for policies that provide them with subsidies, provide them with welfare benefits and that sort of thing.
01:13:35.000We're going to jump to this story here.
01:13:36.000And this is a little bit lighter fare.
01:13:37.000From the New York Post, Jared Kushner shows off renderings of futuristic Gaza with skyscrapers and suburbs.
01:13:44.000Maragaza, ladies and gentlemen, it is on the way.
01:13:47.000Jared Kushner unveiled an ambitious vision Thursday for a cosmopolitan Gaza strip that will attract investment and tourists after years of war, looking much like his father-in-law, President Trump's call for converting the war-torn Mediterranean territory into a Riviera of the Middle East.
01:14:02.000Kushner 45 showed off renderings of Lux beachfront skyscrapers and suburban subdivisions for the Palestinian territories, nearly 2 million people, many of whom are currently living in tents beneath rubble in the aftermath of a two-year war that ended in October.
01:14:18.000I mean, you can look at these pictures, and I mean, it looks great.
01:14:21.000Um, if Israel doesn't vomit, you know, Gaza 51st state two years ago.
01:14:29.000No, this is another example of Ian was right.
01:14:32.000So acknowledge I'm a prophet and that I will be your future president.
01:14:36.000It's not, it's not going to be a 51st state, it is not going to be a U.S. territory.
01:14:41.000Uh, you think it'll be Israeli territory?
01:14:46.000They're trying to set it up where there's going to be like an interim administration.
01:14:51.000They're claiming it'll be Palestinian-led, and then eventually they do want to turn the governance of the territory back over to the PLO.
01:14:58.000And then, this is the purpose of this Council of Board of Peace, things that they're calling it, is they're basically going to try and set up these international structures that will ensure the PLO doesn't just like read like they don't vote for Hamas again.
01:15:10.000Well, I mean, the PLO, if it's the PLO, it might actually be something that's possible because, you know, the people in Gaza voted for Hamas, and Hamas, you know, then they ended elections, and Hamas was like, all right, we are here to kill Jews, right?
01:16:04.000So, if you can get the Palestinian Authority into Gaza and have them in charge, I think that it's possible.
01:16:10.000The new Rafah, they're talking about 100,000-plus permanent housing units, 200-plus education centers, cultural, religious, and vocational centers, and 75 medical facilities.
01:16:22.000New Gaza, which would be developed later, would be a hub of industry and employment, he said.
01:16:27.000In the beginning, we're toying with the idea of saying, let's build a free zone, and then we have a Hamas zone.
01:17:29.000Like, it's not my intention when I'm just saying this as a reality is the reason the West Bank is somewhat functional and Gaza is not is because there's literally, I think it's like a 15 to 20 point IQ difference between Palestinians in Gaza and Palestinians in the West Bank.
01:17:43.000Because the West Bank, like if you look, like Bethlehem, for example, like the birthplace of Christ, by law, they have to have a Christian mayor.
01:17:50.000Like the West Bank has a lot of these like actually fairly decent agreements with the local population.
01:17:56.000It's a much more stitched together, like formalized part of the world.
01:18:01.000And then Gaza is like a war zone and it has been for the last 20, 30 years.
01:18:05.000I don't know how you get the population of Gaza out of that mentality.
01:18:14.000It's like, okay, well, what are you going to do with the Gazans?
01:18:17.000And what seems to be happening is with Somaliland being set up, obviously now they've been recognized by Israel and they'll probably be in turn recognized by the United States and probably a few other Western nations is the plan is they're going to try and dump a lot of the Gazans there because that's been the biggest issue from the Israeli perspective is that they want to just push the Gazans out.
01:18:55.000Well, also to steel man the Arabs' position on why they don't want to take the Gazans because they believe that the only leverage that they have in this entire conflict is the fact that Gazans are there.
01:19:06.000And so if you take the Gazans out, the Palestinians out of Gaza, then there's zero leverage left for the Arab states.
01:19:12.000Like Israel can just effectively annex it.
01:19:41.000I think it's the primary reason these Arab states don't want to take the Gazans in is because they feel like once you take them in as refugees, they won't go back.
01:19:46.000And then Israel can basically do what they want in Gaza.
01:19:48.000And then that takes away any leverage that the Arab states would have in the Gaza situation.
01:19:52.000So it's less that they don't want to take them.
01:19:53.000It's more about that they want them to stay there.
01:20:12.000It's like they say history rhymes and it's like they're taking these people and they want to repopulate them, but they won't take them because when they arrive, they start making banks and become lawyers.
01:20:44.000This is certainly not this is certainly not disproving or discouraging people from believing that.
01:20:49.000And it's like in the event that all of this was to happen.
01:20:53.000And the statement, where do we put the Gazans is very funny.
01:20:57.000But it's like, who's going to make all the money from this?
01:21:00.000It's like, if they're investing all this money to build all of these buildings, they're trying to extract as much value as possible out of there.
01:21:08.000And if there is so much money to be made, then could that have been the reason?
01:21:50.000It's removed from the historical context that is a solution.
01:21:53.000By the way, that's what Hitler said about the Jews, was he was looking for a final solution of what they were doing.
01:21:57.000And that's a completely separate solid and completely separate conversation.
01:22:00.000But no, I mean actually is incredibly different.
01:22:03.000But that's what's being set up in Somaliland is they finally found a partner that's in the region that would take the Gazans, and it is Somaliland.
01:22:11.000It's not just about Jewish people, Israelis, Gazans.
01:22:13.000Repopulation is an ancient thing that you do with a population when you conquer them.
01:22:18.000You oftentimes will just send them somewhere.
01:22:20.000Well, historically, a lot of times they would just kill them all.
01:22:25.000In history, when a conquering force comes in, a lot of times they would just kill all the men and boys, and then they would just take the win.
01:22:32.000But that's why the post-war kind of thing.
01:22:35.000That's why the post-war situation, the post-war consensus is interesting because we don't really do that much anymore.
01:22:41.000You don't see like, again, from countries that are bought into the global system.
01:22:45.000You actually don't really see many full-blown genocides anymore.
01:22:49.000What you do see is a lot of resettlement where, I mean, obviously Israel's killed quite a few people in Gaza, but like if they wanted to eliminate everyone there, they probably could.
01:22:58.000But like what you saw in Germany, for example, after the end of the war, they redrew the borders in Europe.
01:23:31.000And so that's, I think, what's going on here is I don't suspect if this happened, which I just don't even think is going to happen anyway, because you got to get the Gulf states to play along and the Gulf states are probably not going to.
01:23:39.000They can barely complete a lot of these mega projects in their own countries.
01:23:43.000But even hypothetically, if it goes exactly to plan, Gazans aren't going to live there.
01:23:48.000They can't really support a sort of a society that looks like this.
01:23:51.000They would just take all of the resources there and do everything they could to make more missiles in Israel.
01:23:58.000I think we all know what's going to happen is the ceasefire is going to be violated by either Israel or Gaza.
01:24:13.000Wouldn't it be cool if Jared Kushner and all the people that were going to invest into this project and everybody talking about it, wouldn't it be cool if they did that in like, I don't know, America?
01:24:23.000Like maybe Detroit or maybe literally anywhere?
01:24:27.000It's like if we don't barely manufacture anything here, wouldn't this be helpful for America?
01:24:54.000Like it's going to be a very, very expensive project.
01:24:55.000But the Saudis are, well, because the Gulf states are, again, they're trying to form like a coalition against Iran.
01:25:03.000And so you have these Sunni Muslims looking at Israel and they're like, they could be a more viable partner because Israel is trying to position themselves as the regional power.
01:25:11.000And so they just see like, okay, these Sunni states have the same enemy we do, which is Iran.
01:25:16.000And so that's what the incentive basically would be for these Gulf states is it's a geopolitical play.
01:25:21.000It's how they play ball with Israel and build that relationship.
01:25:26.000So in the event that this gives them the ability to have access to more power, then there's a lot of money to be made.
01:25:32.000So whether or not they break even or whatever on this particular project, which I can't imagine that real estate developers that have generated billions of dollars for themselves would just go into this thing not being able to make money.
01:25:46.000Certainly there's a money play down the line somewhere.
01:25:48.000And I would wager that it's probably a ton.
01:25:52.000I bet they are going to make a ton of money from that.
01:25:54.000They're certainly trying to buy influence.
01:25:55.000And that's the way the world works outside of the West.
01:25:57.000The West is the only country that when they make these investments, they expect returns, where other countries, the way that they operate when they're building projects like this, specifically China, they don't actually expect returns right away.
01:26:07.000They expect these to be geopolitical plays.
01:26:09.000Like, look, for example, with China's Belt and Road Initiative, where they built this massive deep water port in Sri Lanka.
01:26:15.000Again, they knew they were never going to make their money back on that.
01:26:17.000They knew that the Sri Lankan government was never actually going to be able to make payments on it.
01:26:20.000So what they did is they spent the money.
01:26:31.000So it's like, okay, you lost some money like from a pure like accounting perspective, but you just bought yourself a deep water port in the Indian Ocean.
01:26:40.000So it's like, but that's a, but that's, that's diplomats or heads of state making those decisions for the interest of that country.
01:26:48.000Jared is an independent citizen, you know, with a bunch of investors that are also likely not states.
01:26:55.000They're people that are individuals that are putting up, that are willing to put up capital.
01:26:59.000And I mean, one of the most expensive parts of developing something like this would be the land itself.
01:27:11.000It kind of kills a little bit of the cost structure down, you know?
01:27:13.000Yeah, because you have to look at like, you know, and I'm, I'm not, you know, like, I don't really talk about Israel much just because it's not, most of my commentary is like American focus.
01:27:23.000But if you look at like the play here, who wins out of all this, Israel benefits like dramatically.
01:27:38.000Whether or not, I mean, even if you just got the Gazans out and then paved all of the Gaza Strip and it was a parking lot, they would still benefit because they don't have to deal with the terrorism.
01:27:46.000Yeah, the whole reason they haven't, I mean, some people will say Israel is just like a purely benevolent country, which I'm thinking.
01:27:54.000They're self-interested as every other country is.
01:27:55.000But like the Americans would, they do.
01:28:50.000I'm not one of these people that like.
01:28:52.000It's more complicated than that, but yeah.
01:28:53.000Yeah, like I've never been one of these people that like completely like pearl clutches over Gaza.
01:28:56.000But I will say it's like very unfortunate the situation Gazans are in because they're really just at the center of like a geopolitical struggle.
01:29:03.000Nor Israel nor the Arab states are particularly concerned with the Gazans.
01:29:12.000So I mean, yeah, Arab states and Israel both, again, view these people as playing sort of, yeah, like a chip on a board.
01:29:20.000All right, we're going to jump to this story, and I think Ian's going to really love this.
01:29:23.000From AZ Sports, 49ers investigate wild conspiracy theory that could be contributing to injuries.
01:29:30.000The San Francisco 49ers season is over, but this offseason will go slightly different than those in the past.
01:29:35.000Per ESPN's Nick Wagoner, the 49ers are investigating conspiracy theory that has really gained traction over the last couple of weeks.
01:29:43.000The team is investigating whether or not the electrical substation near the facility is contributing to the extreme rash of injuries over the years.
01:29:51.000Because it deals with allegedly the health and safety of our players, I think you have to look into everything.
01:29:55.000John Lynch told reporters in his end of the year presser, we've been reaching out to anyone and everyone to see if a study exists other than a guy sticking an apparatus underneath the fence and coming up with a number that I have no idea what that means.
01:30:53.000I've been reading, I was basically taking a crash course through ChatGPT about what living near a substation would do to you.
01:31:00.000It says that there's four basic ways that it can affect you.
01:31:03.000One of them is EMF electromagnetic fields, which are known to cause, it's like not really documented links of weakness, but headaches, dizziness, fatigue, controlled blind studies fail to reproduce the effects, though, generally is what they say.
01:31:18.000So you've got electromagnetic fields that could potentially be doing it, stray voltage, grounding issues.
01:31:23.000So you might have electricity underground that's causing massive risk there.
01:31:29.000And I mean, muscle twitching for an athlete is like game-breaking.
01:31:33.000Noise and vibration, underestimated, but legitimate, it says, and environmental and land use factors, which would be like toxins and the poor air quality.
01:31:43.000But this, damn, you know, electricity is so new in the human experiment at this time around that we know of 150 years.
01:31:51.000Yeah, you know, it's only a couple hundred years old in the last 100,000.
01:31:54.000I mean, maybe they had it before the flood, but we don't really know what kind of effect it's having on our bodies very much.
01:32:00.000And radiation now with like Wi-Fi and stuff.
01:32:17.000I love a good conspiracy theory, and I would likely believe something like this if I had more time to dive into it.
01:32:23.000But I would almost wager that it's probably more likely the physical, like this, these are the highest, most engineered athletes in the world.
01:32:32.000They're getting tested about every possible thing imaginable.
01:32:35.000They're doing feats of strength that many of us would never even be tested on ourselves in our entire life.
01:32:42.000And on top of that, they made the playoffs and excelled despite all that.
01:32:45.000So if you looked at those few guys, I would bet it's the physical therapy team and the doctors that are on the staff that are more likely responsible for dropping the ball.
01:32:54.000Well, maybe they're not maybe they're not indicating whether or not a person would be susceptible to injury that specific day.
01:33:02.000Like maybe their flexibility is not enough that day and the doctor says, go ahead, you're still good to play.
01:33:07.000Whereas another doctor might say, if your ankle is tight and you can't bend to this degree, then it's a bad idea for you to play more than 10 minutes today or something like that.
01:33:15.000So I would bet it's the physical therapy team more likely than not.
01:33:18.000And I don't think that the San Francisco 49ers would outwardly admit that that was the case because that would be admitting that they failed their own players.
01:33:27.000With all the money that goes into any NFL team, you'd think that they would be, if there was any substance to the idea, you'd think that they'd be aware of it.
01:33:38.000Well, I mean, there's the Washington Post article that was on this subject.
01:33:42.000And if you read in it, they're saying, they didn't say which players, but a lot of these players' agents have been reaching out to the team, been reaching out to the press about concerns specifically that the players are taking longer to recover from injuries than any of their other clients, which is pretty interesting.
01:33:58.000And if you look at like the map, obviously you have the substation there.
01:35:50.000Kellen Winslow Jr. went down and it was like, are we cursed?
01:35:53.000I think it was the training staff, but maybe they were born.
01:35:57.000Having to live in Cleveland also takes a toll on the body.
01:36:00.000I think you're going to lose the mistake by the lake.
01:36:03.000So I was up in Tampa a couple days ago and I drove by a substation and all I thought was I would could not imagine living next to that thing.
01:36:10.000That would be horrific to live near that thing.
01:36:11.000Like, what kind of damage is that doing to the surroundings?
01:36:26.000I was reading about Havana syndrome where back in the day, a lot of these diplomats were reporting that they were getting sick for seemingly no reason.
01:36:33.000And they were pointing to EMFs there because, again, in the Washington Post article, a lot of the players, I don't know if it was the players or the agents reporting on behalf of the players anonymously were saying, also, these guys are getting sick a lot more often or they're feeling nauseous and these sorts of things.
01:36:44.000And that was the original speculation with the Havana gun is that they were able to deploy some sort of weapon that would, again, like effectively blast EMF at you.
01:36:53.000And so it, I mean, these things are all like, it's worth digging into.
01:36:56.000I mean, the fact that the 49ers are taking it seriously indicates that this isn't just some like kookery.
01:37:01.000Well, I mean, I think, look, if you're, if you're, if you're the 49ers owner, you know, and your players are taking longer to heal, I, I can't imagine that you would leave any stone unturned.
01:37:12.000You know, the amount of money that goes into any NFL team, but, you know, the San Francisco 49ers, like, they've got a, a pretty decent history.
01:37:21.000And, you know, I can't imagine that the owners would say, ah, that's BS.
01:37:38.000So if there is any substance to it, that's the other thing.
01:37:41.000It's like, I don't know that the internet, as much as I love the internet and the collective power of it, would solve this faster than the people that have billions of dollars on the line.
01:37:50.000I don't know if they found Shia LaBeouf.
01:38:28.000I hate having this thing near my head.
01:38:30.000I don't know how far away it's supposed to be at night when you sleep turned off.
01:38:34.000Sometimes I have it on like six feet away, but even then, I feel like it's affecting me.
01:38:38.000Someone just like, there was an AN on Twitter.
01:38:40.000He just posted a video of ground beef cooking in a microwave, and then he was like, this is what's happening to your brain when you're using AirPods.
01:38:59.000So did you fall for the This Is Your Brain on Drugs commercial when they scrambled the eggs and then or when the girl smoked the weed and like melted?
01:39:08.000No, but like I remember the one, I do remember the one commercial where it was the smoker lady and she's like, and like the shower is running in the background.
01:39:14.000And she's like, I can't face the shower because of the hole in my beard.
01:40:39.000Richard Slammer says, to Phil's point, you want to bring the enemy leaders in or you want to bring the Tokyo Rose or Hanoi Jane, aka Don Lemon.
01:40:48.000Yeah, I mean, look, I don't think that it would be a bad thing at all to wrap up Don Lemon.
01:40:53.000And that's, that's not the point that I'm making.
01:40:55.000But I do think that if you're looking to have an impact on the ground, I think you get the actual activists and you wrap those people up, put them in jail for any laws that they violated, and you're going to have a much larger impact.
01:41:09.000Whereas if you get Don Lemon, it's going to be satisfying, but it's not going to have an effect on the protesters or organizing protests in the future.
01:41:40.000I like how you switched it up mid-metaphor and went from whipped cream and cherries to vegetables.
01:41:44.000Well, yeah, I mean, that's that's the thing, you know, the sugary, satisfying thing or the thing that's actually going to, you know, help repair your body and give you the vitamins and nutrients that you need.
01:41:56.000So the fact that you think of Don Lemon as a satisfying whipped cream treatment is troubling.
01:42:01.000You're putting words in my mouth, and now I'm slightly offended.
01:42:10.000JDA 93 says, been watching Tim since 2018, but here's my doomer worry.
01:42:15.000The FACE Act changes will fail because it's leftists.
01:42:19.000However, under Biden, FACE Act stuck old ladies in prison for abortion clinic sit-ins.
01:42:24.000I mean, that's true, but we work with the tools that we have, right?
01:42:29.000I mean, I love the idea of being like, hey, let's go and write new laws and actually, you know, do things that are going to be more permanent and really fix the problems that we have.
01:42:41.000But you go to war with the army that you have, not the army that you want.
01:42:46.000So the conditions in DC are as they are.
01:42:50.000And so you're limited by what the possibilities are limited.
01:42:56.000I mean, Tate, you might want to jump in on that.
01:42:59.000Yeah, I mean, like, there's no fix everything button in the Trump.
01:43:03.000Like, there's not, I think John Doyle made the joke, there's not like a stream of staffers storming in at the fix everything button.
01:43:09.000And President Trump refuses to press it.
01:43:11.000It's like, unfortunately, the system that we live in was set up very well in the sense of it's actually really insulated from like any sort of disarray.
01:44:14.000Maybe this changes in the next few years.
01:44:16.000Zoomers, there was a U.S. Gov poll where half of Zoomers just said ignore the Supreme Court.
01:44:23.000So, you know, things could change quite rapidly.
01:44:26.000But as it stands right now, yeah, we have to operate within this.
01:44:28.000Because you got to remember, like, the Republican Party, the Trump administration is positioning themselves as a legitimate form of government, and they're positioning the left-wing, the Democrat Party, as these radical insurgents.
01:44:37.000And that's the correct framing, I would say, because that's how you win elections going forward.
01:44:41.000Because the American people just aren't ready for a despot yet.
01:44:45.000Remember the rules for radicals: that the action you want is the reaction of your opponent.
01:44:50.000They want the Trump administration to break the laws.
01:44:53.000They want them to start going outside of bounds.
01:44:56.000Then they can rally the communists to say, hey, we told you they were dangerous fascists.
01:45:02.000And to Ian's point, that's why they constantly are basically lying to people.
01:45:07.000That's why they're telling you that ICE went after a five-year-old kid.
01:45:10.000That's why they're telling you that Donald Trump broke all these laws.
01:45:14.000That's why they're telling you that ICE is actually breaking the law.
01:45:17.000Because ICE isn't, and the government isn't breaking the law because the people in the administration are aware.
01:45:24.000Like, I mean, you know, JD Vance has read rules for radicals.
01:45:28.000Like, the people that are in the administration, they're aware of this.
01:45:31.000And another thing that you have to think of is like half the FBI doesn't like Donald Trump.
01:45:36.000There's been an exodus of leftists and stuff, but there are a lot of people in the administration that still don't like Donald Trump.
01:46:50.000Shane H. Wilder says, if you're the praying type, pray for us at the March for Life in D.C. tomorrow and for anyone who will be affected by this weekend storms.
01:46:59.000This weekend storm is looking like it's going to be no joke.
01:47:01.000So if you're a prayer, pray for everybody at the March for Life.
01:47:05.000That's a very wonderful way to protest and demonstrate.
01:47:11.000Abortion is, in my opinion, abortion is probably one of the most wrong things that we do here in the U.S.
01:47:20.000I haven't always thought that, but I've, you know, since I had a kid, I mean, look, man, when your kid's six months in utero and you're looking at an MRI or a sonogram and you can see a face, you're like, that is a human being, man.
01:48:01.000Bring some jackets and on the way home, if you can find a shovel, buy it because you're going to need it on Saturday and Sunday if you're in the area.
01:49:29.000But I do think that whatever means we use or whatever way we can offer to get people to leave, I think it's a good thing, especially when you're dealing with the amount of money that they're talking about.
01:49:42.000$2,600 is a small amount of money to get to the federal government who just prints it anyways.
01:49:51.000And they're going to print it for other stuff anyway.
01:49:53.000So it's a small amount of money to get people to leave.
01:49:56.000In my opinion, whether it be $2,600 or trebuchet, it's all good if you're decreasing the number of illegal aliens in the United States.
01:50:05.000Yeah, like remember, they've quantified that number because they've determined that an ICE operation costs far more than that.
01:50:10.000So it's like you kind of look at it like, okay, to a degree, what you're trying to do is you're trying to reorient the incentive structure on immigration.
01:50:18.000So you want to reorient the atmosphere around immigration in the America to it being favorable for these people to leave.
01:50:24.000And if you can incentivize that, it's worthwhile because, again, it saves us money for having to knock down doors and these sorts of things.
01:50:29.000And trebuchets, I'm sure that if the government made trebuchets, they would be extremely expensive.
01:50:35.000Dave Bricks says, if we're not getting a Tate Brown holding it down t-shirt or something, what are we even doing here?
01:50:59.000Yeah, and in between your hands, it says Tate Brown.
01:51:03.000It's like a silhouette of your head with your hair.
01:51:05.000It could be that's like, yeah, no, it's going to be the hand.
01:51:08.000Someone was WASP checking me the other day.
01:51:10.000They were saying there's no way you're of British extraction because you use your hands like an Italian.
01:51:14.000And what I realized, what it is, the reason I talk the way I do, the way I have these hand expressions is literally because of Donald Trump.
01:55:29.000And what happened was he would put on like his Facebook, I think it was like his Facebook or Instagram, like, if you're not planning on voting today, I will pick you up at your house and drive you to the voting booth.
01:55:39.000And I texted him and I was like, if someone literally, the things, like you said, the thing standing between them voting or not is like someone else driving them to the polls, they shouldn't be voting because clearly they do not care about like the outcome of the election whatsoever.
01:55:52.000So let's just not do that because, yeah, we don't want low propensity voters, but that's not a good, like, that's not a good thing.
01:55:59.000We should have people that are engaged in tapped end voting like exclusively.
01:56:02.000Yeah, the mail is like the most outrageous thing ever because you'd be willing to do that as a favor to a buddy if you're just like, hey, man, would you just fill this out and just I'll fire, I'll send it for you.
01:57:14.000You know, I mean, look, I personally think that we should be, there should be laws that allow people to be committed involuntarily if they're if they're a danger to society or to themselves.
01:57:25.000It's too easy for the mentally ill to roam the streets and terrorize people.
01:57:31.000You go to any big city and you see that.
01:57:34.000There's been plenty of high-profile murders and attacks because of mentally ill people.
01:57:41.000And I think that getting those people off the street would be great for society, but I don't think that it's going to end up being a federal thing.
01:57:47.000And it's crazy because there's laws on the book.
01:57:49.000Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's New York City has laws where if you've slept on the street for like a certain amount of continuous days, the police can just commit you.
01:57:56.000They could pick you up and commit you.
01:57:57.000But these things are just like rarely enforced.
01:58:21.000So it's like the most benevolent thing you can do.
01:58:24.000As far as the punishing the politicians that post fake news, I would say that a more fruitful use of your time would be to call out your own politicians that represent you and advocate for the policies that are the reason why you elected them in the first place and spend more of your time focusing on them because I feel like there's so many of them on the right that don't do the things that we put them in there for or don't talk about the things that are important to us.
01:58:55.000You could yell at you could yell at Gavin Newsome or whoever else a million times, but you don't matter to them.
01:59:02.000Whereas in order for a Lindsey Graham or a Thomas Massey or a Ted Cruz or whoever it is, the only one I like out of that three is Thomas Massey.
01:59:11.000But in order for them to get re-elected, you need to be talking to them about the things that matter so that they understand that this is something that they need to do in order to get your vote again.
01:59:18.000So I just think that's a more productive use of your time.
01:59:21.000Rusty Man3625 says, Phil, life is stressful for me for right now, but looking forward to your concert in May is something that keeps me going.
02:06:32.000New York Post says, outdoor gear brand Patagonia has filed suit against a drag performer and LGBTQ activist named Patty Gonia for peddling merch, which the company says rips off its highly recognizable brand markings.
02:06:44.000The high-end outdoor brand, beloved by day hikers and finance bros, and also by like dudes that shoot people a lot, alleges the drag queen has caused irreparable damage by trading on the company's logo.
02:07:39.000So Patty Gonia, whose real name is Wynn Wiley.
02:07:42.000Well, I mean, look, he could have kept the same name.
02:07:45.000Came to an agreement with the company in 2022 that he would respect the brand's trademarks, but then turned around and filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to use the Patty Gonia brand for a host of commercial endeavors two years later, according to court documents.
02:07:59.000There's no way his real name is Wynn Wiley.
02:08:04.000Wiley's trademark application shows he intends to launch a wide-ranging commercial enterprise under the Patty Gonia brand, including apparel sales and using the name to promote his upcoming shows and appearances, according to the complaint filed Wednesday in a U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, obtained by Bloomberg law.
02:08:22.000I mean, this is kind of obvious, right?
02:08:24.000Like you're, you're, not only are you infringing on their trademark, right?
02:08:29.000But you're also like a controversial person with a, you know, as an activist, you're going to have like people that are like, no, I think that you're a crazy man.
