A new set of rules are being introduced by the Defense Department that could potentially end the First Amendment rights of journalists, and could also lead to the end of freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Also, the Trump Media Group has struck a deal worth $6.4B with Yonder Acquisition Corp and Crypto.com to scoop up $6 billion in CRO, the powerhouse token that fuels fast, low-fee, deFi staking rewards, and real-world perks like cashback on your spends.
00:02:33.000I think like 30% of the memo is telling you how to park your car.
00:02:39.000What is at odds with the issue for all of these news outlets that were like, I refuse to sign it, is that it says you will not solicit secret, confidential, or classified information, which is already a crime.
00:02:52.000That's what they prosecuted Julian Assange for.
00:02:54.000Journalists can receive documents from individuals who bring it to them unsolicited, but journalists that work towards the facilitation of leaking are now complicit in those crimes.
00:03:05.000Or at least that was the claim being made six, seven years ago when the corporate press was cheering on charges against Julian Assange.
00:03:19.000There's currently big protests going on in New York City.
00:03:21.000And we also have another massive store out of Ireland where there were riots the other night after a quote-unquote asylum seeker was criminally charged with a 10-year-old girl.
00:03:31.000And I do that because, believe it or not, YouTube actually has a rule about censorship that pertains to the first 30 seconds of a YouTube video.
00:03:39.000So you got to wait a minute or two, and then you can say more terrifying things.
00:03:58.000And this latest move cements that reality in a big way.
00:04:00.000Trump Media just inked a massive $6.4 billion deal with Yorkville Acquisition Corp and Crypto.com, the crypto platform trusted by millions of users worldwide.
00:04:10.000They're teaming up to scoop up $6.4 billion in CRO, the powerhouse token that fuels fast, low-fee DeFi staking rewards, and real-world perks like cashback on your spends to establish America's first CRO treasury.

00:06:04.000As of right now, there are massive protests happening in New York, and we colluded with Nick Shirley to make sure Nate Friedman wouldn't be there and would be here instead.
00:06:16.000I'm a boots on the ground journalist, independent, and I follow the money.
00:06:20.000I expose some paid protesters, and I also ask people who they're voting for, you know?
00:06:25.000Indeed, indeed, I watch a lot of your videos on Instagram, especially the ones where you track down these paid protesters.
00:06:32.000And I love it because I've made reference to this along.
00:06:35.000I haven't done street stuff for a while because at a certain point, too many followers, they start targeting you, and you move out of that space.
00:06:41.000But we knew these people, we called them the tourists.
00:06:44.000When people like Luke Rodkowski and I would go on the ground, you see the exact same people at every single protest, no matter what city you're in.
00:07:42.000Here's a story from the Washington Post: The Pentagon announces a new right-wing press corps after a mass walkout.
00:07:48.000A new crop of conservative media and influencers, including the Gateway Pundit, the Post-Millennial, Human Events, and National Pulse, signed an agreement with the Defense Department.
00:07:57.000The corporate press staged a walkout of the Pentagon.
00:08:00.000And I don't believe for a second it had anything to do with the Pentagon's policies.
00:08:04.000I think it has everything to do with the cult.
00:08:07.000Apparently, there were reporters who did not care and said, I have no problem signing this.
00:08:11.000And they were bullied by other media organizations, threats of being blacklisted, never working in this town again.
00:08:18.000And a lot of these journalists were like, okay, I'll do whatever you say.
00:08:49.000At most, what we'll do is we'll say, Mr. Secretary, recently there were a drone strike on Venezuelan boats that you said were cartel and drug traffickers.
00:08:59.000The media is arguing that these were civilians.
00:09:05.000It's just not investigative journalism.
00:09:08.000And they're acting like Tim Cast getting a press pass so that a lot can literally just say, Mr. Secretary, care to comment on the recent accusations made by the press so we can suss out some of their thoughts and views on things.
00:09:20.000They're acting like this is the apocalypse.
00:09:22.000Take a look at what the Washington Post writes.
00:09:26.000Nearly one week since a rash of Pentagon journalists turned in their press credentials after refusing to sign a new restrictive press policy, the Defense Department, Defense Department, you mean Department of War, announced a new.
00:09:42.000You could be mad about it, but they did.
00:09:44.000They announced a new media press corps largely hailing from right-wing outlets.
00:09:47.000The 60 people from various news organizations present, represent a broad spectrum of new media outlets and independent journalists.
00:09:53.000Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell wrote in a statement Wednesday on X, adding that all of the publications agreed to the agency's press policy.
00:10:00.000According to a draft of the announcement obtained by the Washington Post ahead of Parnell's tweet, the coalition of signatories include the cable news network Real America's Voice, streaming service Lindell TV, the websites The Gateway Pundit, the Post Millennial, Human Events, the National Pulse, Red State.
00:10:13.000It includes Turning Point USA's media brand frontlines, as well as influencer Tim Poole's Timcast and a substack-based newsletter called Washington Reporter.
00:10:23.000The memo said that many independent journalists also signed, but did not specify who they were.
00:10:28.000The Defense Department's policy blocks journalists from soliciting information.
00:10:31.000The department is not authorized for release, even unclassified details, a major shift in press outreach from the organization.
00:10:39.000This is a gross exaggeration and manipulation over what is actually going on.
00:10:44.000Now, I will tell you: our statement: you know, there's a bunch of journalists insulting me and ragging on us, and they're crying.
00:10:54.000And that shows you one thing: they were never journalists, they are partisan cultists.
00:10:59.000They are angry that we will not march in lockstep with their cult.
00:11:38.000To a certain degree, maybe sometimes Elod's going to dig into a story he might find some details on, but we don't dedicate our time to trying to uncover malfeasance and untoward behavior from corporations or government as investigators.
00:11:59.000For what reason is it an affront to anyone that our organization said we would like to attend some press briefings to ask some questions, just like any other journalist who does.
00:12:11.000They're acting like the fact that we are there is some, they're insulting us over it.
00:13:02.000I certainly have no problem criticizing Trump over the Epstein handling, nor Cash Patel, Dan Bongino, despite them being friends of the show.
00:13:55.000The reason why they didn't have any kind of, like, they could do whatever they wanted was because there was no distinction between them and the administrations they worked under.
00:14:03.000It was all a handshake agreement, and we all know.
00:14:09.000Basically, what they're saying right now is: this agreement forces you to say that you won't solicit information unless they approve of it.
00:14:18.000It says you won't solicit confidential, classified, or otherwise information and release it.
00:14:25.000Okay, let me just stress to everybody who's listening: you can turn in your press badge.
00:15:30.000I mean, if there's an investigative journalist with no access to the Pentagon who works for Tate News Corp and is investigating the Pentagon, and then he goes to Allah from Timcast and says, Take a look at this story that I've uncovered.
00:15:42.000What's stopping Allad from going, Mr. Secretary, we have a story that we got from Tate News Corp saying these things.
00:15:50.000They're fabricating a reason to storm out of the press out of the Pentagon.
00:15:54.000And I think the real issue here, and I apologize for the long rant, but I think the real issue here is the media was mockingbird.
00:16:02.000The Biden administration, the Obama administration, the media was the government.
00:16:08.000It was all part of the same manipulation.
00:16:10.000That's why they had free reign to do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted.
00:16:14.000And now that Trump is in and they hate him and he represents a new system emerging and taking over, now the media says, quick, clear out, because it's a cult.
00:16:24.000The new organizations that come in, what are you doing at the Pentagon?
00:16:29.000Is it commonplace that journalists just constantly walk around the Pentagon saying, leak me information?
00:16:34.000No, it's about going to press briefings, having interviews, and getting quick access to people in government.
00:16:38.000You can ask them about stories that are in the public sphere.
00:16:42.000So I don't know if you all agree, but that's my statement.
00:16:45.000I mean, it seems like a very easy manipulation for people who don't understand the way that this aspect of government and media works.
00:16:52.000That it's a very easy story to frame for people that paints the new media, as they call it, in a specific light while taking advantage of a lay person's understanding of how press briefings work or how media structure works.
00:17:05.000It really, like if you're from an outsider looking in, it just looks like they don't like the idea of people that are outside of the club getting into the club.
00:17:14.000And beyond that, I mean, the legacy media has an axe to grind with new media.
00:17:18.000So right off the rip, one side has a bone to pick with the other.
00:17:22.000So you're obviously going to get some ridiculous reporting.
00:17:24.000And yeah, I mean, even from the Pentagon's perspective, I mean, like in the lead up to the story about the Pentagon, the Pentagon media walkout, like every article they were running was just these leaked characterizations from unnamed Pentagon officials.
00:17:51.000Like this is part of the reorientation towards new media because that's just the more useful that provides more utility for Americans, quite frankly.
00:18:00.000And in my perspective, it's a privilege, not a right, to be able to cover the White House, to be able to get into the Pentagon, to be able to ask questions at these briefings.
00:18:07.000As I understand, these journalists are used to trying to solicit information from Pentagon officials throughout the Pentagon, and they used to have the right to walk around the Pentagon building without an escort.
00:18:17.000I believe that's part of the rule change now, where they will be required to walk around with an escort and won't be able to freely solicit, try to solicit information from different Pentagon officials just throughout the building.
00:18:27.000It's fascinating too, because the White House has these same rules.
00:18:30.000I can't la-di-da walk around any part of the White House.
00:18:33.000They have a specific area that the press is allowed into, a relatively small area.
00:18:38.000And then if you're ever trying to go anywhere extended beyond that, you have to be with somebody with your press pass present.
00:18:43.000If you're somewhere where you're not supposed to be, people will aggressively come up to you.
00:18:46.000Like random White House people will be like, you need to be escorted here or you're not allowed to be in this area.
00:18:51.000I think this is largely in an effort, though, from Pete Hexeth to prevent leaks and, you know, these unfavorable reporting that we are seeing on the Pentagon through disgruntled employees at the Pentagon.
00:19:04.000There are a lot of people there who aren't happy with how Pete Hexeth has been running the show over there.
00:19:08.000And they want to, you know, they have an axe to grind and they'll grind that axe through the media.
00:19:12.000And Hexeth is trying to prevent that from occurring.
00:19:15.000Well, I mean, it just shows that they're politicized within.
00:19:19.000The same thing happened at the DOJ when there was the purge, the purge plan of the DOJ.
00:19:23.000And then all the media did was just establish that there is an insurgent group within the DOJ that is not following orders.
00:19:30.000They're not respecting the American people when we voted, voted in Donald Trump.
00:19:34.000I mean, my reaction to all this is I'm sitting here being like, we used to have a small news team, but it was largely aggregation.
00:19:41.000There were a few stories that we broke when we had sources, but it was largely aggregation for the purpose of collecting stories that we thought were important and putting them in a written format because I do videos.
00:19:52.000So I'm doing very surface-level journalism every single day.
00:19:57.000When I put together like the noon show, I'm collecting a bunch of sources, fact-checking, pulling in data points, and the old school media hates it for a variety of reasons.
00:20:07.000We've taken away their position as this, like they viewed themselves as a special elevated class of people above you.
00:20:16.000They had access to the ivory tower for which they could espouse their views.
00:20:20.000We destabilized that and they got really mad at us.
00:20:23.000Now seeing all of this and the reaction, I'm like, oh, maybe we should hire a bunch of journalists and do a legit, like an actual newsroom.
00:20:30.000I mean, it's really a simple question.
00:20:33.000What is the purpose of being in the Pentagon?
00:20:35.000Do you need to be in the Pentagon to do an investigative report?
00:20:45.000I guess you don't have that moment of spontaneity where you're passing somebody in the hallway with a wink and a nod, and then you can meet them and you're like, hey, you know, do you have any access to grind?
00:20:53.000Are you pissed at your, you know, any of your subordinates?
00:20:57.000Do you want to leak something stupid about them?
00:20:58.000And then, you know, ultimately it looks bad on the way up.
00:21:02.000I think there is a serious national security risk here with having all these reporters looking for scoops running around in the Pentagon.
00:21:10.000And I think they compromised national security with a lot of these leaks.
00:21:13.000Obviously, beyond the reporting, but when you do have some disgruntled soldiers, I forgot the name of the specific guy, but a couple of years ago, there were massive leaks, and that was a national security issue.
00:21:23.000It wasn't the WikiLeaks guy, but the Discord leaks, there's serious consequences.
00:21:31.000There are serious consequences to this stuff.
00:21:32.000And we need to tighten things over at the Pentagon.
00:21:35.000We can't have, you know, pissed off employees leaking or pissed off employees accidentally leaking on Discord, I guess.
00:21:40.000Yeah, well, because it's like, okay, the Pentagon is aware that there is a portion of their staffing that is disgruntled.
00:21:47.000So if the media is coming in with the sole intent of like just finding these people, identifying who these people are, and then publicizing their messaging, like they totally have the right to clamp down on this.
00:21:59.000The media really does have an axe to grind in a way.
00:22:01.000Like you said, like there is an aspect now where the people who pivoted and learned to pivot to something like YouTube or Rumble, whatever it is, putting themselves in front of the camera, especially the written journalist class, hated that because the ability to write well doesn't always necessarily equate to being able to speak well on camera and being able to present media in an engaging way.
00:22:21.000This is something that's going on a lot of ways in Hollywood as well, which is like they're trying to continue this old guard of how media is done while YouTube and these other platforms are starting to eclipse them.
00:22:33.000Let me explain to you guys what this is really about.
00:22:35.000I have before you user mag, Taylor Lorenz's Substack.
00:22:41.000So she worked for what, like The Atlantic, The Washington Post.
00:22:45.000How many likes do you think she gets on an article on her new Independent?
00:23:12.000The issue is that people like Taylor Lorenz, who don't have the skill, the merit, nay, the nobility to even work for any kind of, to run any kind of media business or be in, they need to be propped up by the machine.
00:23:26.000Well, look at somebody like a House in Habit, who went from working as like a, basically just being a mommy blogger to being like a very, very prolific voice in aspects of politics and culture, runs a substack that does very, very incredible numbers.
00:23:41.000Somebody who has the ability, even if we're not talking putting yourself in front of the camera, but somebody who writes well, is engaging, knows how to put together a package of information that really, really speaks to people will succeed on their own.
00:23:52.000Substack is the way that people are doing that on a written platform.
00:23:55.000But the people who are resistant to change in media are going to have an axe to an axe to grind with everybody's.
00:24:03.000Back on this Hexeth stuff for a moment.
00:24:05.000I think Hexeth is trying to change up a lot of the culture at the Pentagon, and it's pissing a lot of people off.
00:24:11.000It's pissing off the fat generals, the generals who believe in DEI, the generals that believe that there should be lower standards for, I don't know, minorities or women inside the service.
00:24:20.000And that's pissing off a lot of generals who end up leaking to people at like the Washington Times.
00:24:24.000And I'm taking a look at this article right now, and it says, Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth has lost the trust and respect of some top military commanders with his public grandstanding from the speech that he gave a week or so ago, widely seen as unprofessional and the personnel moves made by the former cable TV host leading an unprecedented and dangerous exodent of talent from the Pentagon said current senior military officers and current and former Defense Department officials.
00:24:48.000This is what I think Hexeth is trying to prevent.
00:24:53.000Disgruntled generals over at the Pentagon, pissed off with the needed changes that he's making to try to reinvigorate our army, to try to deal with the threats that we are seeing abroad.
00:25:03.000This is why I think he's trying to make these changes, to prevent more of the bad optics from these generals.
00:25:07.000I think the issue for a lot of these corporate news outlets is that they're access journalists, if you guys aren't familiar.
00:25:13.000This means that they're newsrooms that only exist because they've been given a credential.
00:25:17.000Whereas we here often say things that piss people off, even if they're our friends, because we think truth and transparency matters and honor integrity too.
00:25:28.000Some of these newsrooms don't have any merit, don't have any credibility.
00:25:31.000What they have is they're friends with someone in an administration.
00:25:46.000I mean, this is happening in entertainment too.
00:25:48.000Like, people, variety will go to these red carpet premieres, and people who cover it get 10 times the views that they do because they're providing some type of interesting commentary as opposed to just going and asking inane questions to celebrities.
00:26:03.000This is happening with every institution in the United States.
00:26:05.000Like with legacy media, all they're doing is they're just benefiting from the hard work that people, like a generation or two, did to establish those connections, to build the New York Times, to build the Washington Post.
00:26:16.000And they're just running off of those fumes.
00:26:17.000And this is happening with every institution in the United States because, broadly speaking, now with the internet, now we're in the digital age, it's democratized information.
00:26:25.000People, we are able to reorient sort of our intake of content regardless of what the medium is.
00:26:31.000I mean, we have a great example sitting right here.
00:26:34.000And so, yeah, like that's all they benefit from is the hard work from people that came before them.
00:26:38.000But now that that, now that their usefulness is sort of running thin, you know, we're going to tune into Tim Cast because it's just going to be better.
00:26:45.000And like you're talking about Taylor Lorenz, it's like the thing that separates House and Habit from Taylor Lorenz is House and Habit actually has like an interesting perspective.
00:26:52.000They have an interesting take versus Taylor Lorenz is just like a crappier version of what you would have on the New York Times.
00:26:57.000So it's like, why would I even bother?
00:27:10.000I think that, you know, one thing about like legacy media that I've noticed, you know, in the press room, I'm obviously not in the White House press room, but there's just this sense of disrespect that's kind of odd to me.
00:27:20.000Like, you should respect the office regardless of who's there.
00:27:23.000Like, there was one particular moment where Caroline Levitt kind of dunks on Caitlin Collins when she's just like, you should just be on the ground.
00:27:50.000So I have a friend actually who's talking about wanting to create like a secondary channel because he wants, he goes to a lot of these events and he's like, I want to start documenting this stuff.
00:27:59.000But he has like, he does other work and he doesn't want to necessarily put people off his other content because it's not political, whatever.
00:28:06.000And I said, look, like, there's a million people in the commentary space now.
00:28:09.000It's very, very hard to get started here.
00:28:11.000But just the act of going on the ground and getting information, boots on the ground, asking questions is invaluable.
00:28:18.000And like more people should be doing it.
00:28:24.000From the post-millennial, FBI Director Cash Patel says Bureau is on the verge of unmasking the funding and command structure behind the Antifa terror group.
00:28:34.000Patel said there are indications that support for anti-American radical groups is coming from America's enemies overseas, that the Bureau is following the money.
00:28:43.000We have this President Trump's roundtable, I guess they say.
00:28:46.000Patel said, furthermore, Patel indicated the funding is also coming from U.S. nonprofits with IRS tax exempt status.
00:28:53.000Look, the thing I can tell you is that the money doesn't lie.
00:28:55.000And the thing we're doing at the FBI is following the money.
00:28:58.000And thanks to President Trump, we now have Antifa designated, rightfully so, as a domestic terror organization.
00:29:04.000And we have had multiple investigations going on.
00:29:07.000The one thing I want to stress, we are looking at a decentralized network of various organizations.
00:29:14.000We are looking at cells that use the actual brand Antifa as a proper noun.
00:29:19.000But I would say Antifa largely describes the semi-centralized, and it is, it's not totally decentralized, network of leftists that train, recruit, finance, or otherwise all of the leftist movements we see in this country.
00:29:36.000Now, Nate, you've uncovered a lot of these people.
00:29:40.000Yeah, I want to point out one thing first, which is that the reason why this is so difficult to trace, and bravo to this administration for doing it for real, this is such a big deal, is that these groups are not even nonprofits a lot of the time.
00:29:53.000They're under an umbrella of several other nonprofits, right?
00:29:57.000So you take someone at the top, like a Soros, who gives money to Tides, who then gives money to Progress Unity Fund, who then gives money to Answer Coalition.
00:30:14.000And the individuals often will work for multiple nonprofits, not just one.
00:30:20.000You'll find some friends of mine and I were looking at various nonprofits that bring in funding through.
00:30:26.000I mean, we used to do fundraising for nonprofits.
00:30:27.000And we'd find that three board members were three executive level staff members.
00:30:33.000There were like 12 people, and they'd each be on the board of a different company and executive staff at a different company to fulfill their legal requirements.
00:30:39.000So they could have a bunch of different nonprofits and they could shuffle money between each other, making it very difficult to track.
00:30:45.000And I, you know, so someone who I exposed, so David Chung, who the leader of the, you know, the People's Forum protests that they organize like twice a week.
00:30:53.000Okay, so he's on the IRS tax forms for the People's Forum, getting paid $75,000 a year to protest.
00:31:47.000The truth was, there were a handful of trust fund kids who were there because they were bored, but nonprofit organizations in New York had staffers there during work hours because they got the day off.
00:32:00.000So there were a handful of people that I met from various charities, nonprofits, and also political organizations that were progressive and leftist.
00:32:07.000And I'm talking to them and they say, oh, yeah, I work for an insert organization.
00:33:10.000I think it's important to expose the idea of somebody being paid to do that at all because I think the average normie who doesn't follow politics closely maybe only pays a little bit of attention when election season comes around or this stuff is going on right now.
00:33:22.000The idea that somebody would be paid to go out and do something like that would be completely foreign to them.
00:33:27.000When they see these people in a large group, they're imagining hundreds of people who all independently of their own volition came to the idea that I need to go out and stand up against tyranny or whatever they're talking about.
00:33:44.000I mean, the point that Tim brought up about how they take the day off, so case in point was the Trump Trump Tower occupation, one of them, right?
00:33:51.000So you get in the middle of the day on a Tuesday, 30 people.
00:33:54.000So I interviewed this woman, and it turns out she works for a nonprofit, Jewish Currents.
00:34:01.000And she's just there in the middle of the workday.
00:34:03.000On her LinkedIn, everything says that she works there.
00:34:05.000So again, she's given the day off to go and occupy the king's home.
00:34:10.000You know, you come to think that these people, I asked them, do you think Trump is a dictator?
00:34:14.000And they don't have an answer for me anymore because they know if Trump was a dictator, that would be the last building they would walk into.
00:34:28.000Man, I actually knew a lot of these guys at Occupy who I assume are like feds or fed isn't the right word.
00:34:35.000You know, this is the mistake people made because this is like an international coalition of well-funded, they are individuals, they're activists, they're revolutionaries, they are at the higher level.
00:34:48.000It's almost like they're intelligence guys, but they're not working for any, it's like a rogue, like rogue nation almost.
00:34:55.000They work with Soros, they know Soros' family.
00:34:58.000But the problem is the way they shuffle this money around, I think looking at Soros singularly is not necessarily a mistake, but it misses the bigger picture.
00:35:09.000A lot of this money, I believe, a lot of this money, I believe, excuse me, coming from USAID, shuffled around.
00:35:15.000A lot of it was coming from what we saw with Lee Zeldin uncovering these green slush funds, where the Biden administration pulls out like $7 billion or some insane number into a nonprofit that existed for a month.
00:36:15.000These are not tax-exempt donations, but they don't need to be publicly disclosed.
00:36:21.000So here's what happens: you will see someone fundraising for famous progressive charitable cause, and they'll be talking to you at an event, at your door, on the street, on the phone, whatever it may be.
00:36:34.000And they'll say, guys, let's just, well, I'll use a modern example.
00:36:40.000Donald Trump is trying to be a dictator.
00:37:26.000The actual charity will bring money in and send it to the 501c4.
00:37:31.000Or when you then fill out that form, wherever you may be, you're donating to a 501c4 that doesn't need to disclose the total amount of donations they bring in.
00:37:41.000So they're technically telling you the truth.
00:37:45.000You'll donate to Brett Dasevik, the fund incorporated.
00:37:50.000It'll say on the form, your donation goes to the Brett Dasovic Fund, who brought in $700 million last year.
00:37:56.000The Brett Dasevik Fund then donates $2 million to the Brett Dasevik Environmental Causes nonprofit.
00:38:35.000I am a CEO level, an executive at a large organization, and I don't get the millions of dollars these guys do at this job.
00:38:45.000What they don't tell you is they also have another job as the executive director of Fund Incorporated, where they get paid $7 million a year.
00:38:52.000I mean, a lot of those executives, or a lot of the CEOs end up making that amount too.
00:38:55.000They just get the rest in stock options.
00:39:02.000What I described it as back in the day is selling hopes and dreams to people.
00:39:05.000Okay, so then the question is: the way he's selling it here is that they're going to nail down the funding.
00:39:10.000And I think the idea there is that people have an idea of like, there's a person at the end of that tunnel.
00:39:14.000There's a George Soros at the end of that tunnel.
00:39:17.000And I think what people have a hard time with, maybe it's just because of the way people have been raised right now, because they've watched more movies and television rather than read about notes on how nonprofits work, is they're imagining that there's an end of the tunnel where there's a document that leads to a specific person who's been funding all this, and they're not going to be comfortable with the idea that it's not that simple.
00:39:37.000Yeah, it's probably going to end up being a couple thousand individuals.
00:39:42.000It's going to be Democrat politicians.
00:39:44.000It's as simple as USAID or these flush funds.
00:39:48.000They then say, we're going to give, I mean, it's fascinating because some of these organizations that initially get the funds could be innocuous.
00:39:54.000It could be like the repairing TVs in low-income neighborhoods nonprofit that gets $30 million or whatever.
00:40:00.000And it's like, we want to ensure that there's digital infrastructure for people in rural areas.
00:40:04.000And then you take a look at their books.
00:40:06.000They make charitable contributions to various foundations.
00:40:08.000And after three or four different degrees of separation, you find it all goes towards an organization that's on the ground protesting.
00:40:15.000Well, that's why it's so useful that the FBI is actually doing this because, yeah, for a lot of people, there's a lot of names to keep up with a lot of organizations.
00:40:24.000New ones, it's like a game of whack-a-mole.
00:40:26.000It's going to be nice to get a few names out there that can allow you to kind of put the pieces together to fill in some gaps because, yeah, right now it's just very frustrating.
00:40:34.000I mean, that's the intention, obviously, but it's very frustrating because from the outsider perspective, I mean, it's really tough to sit on top of everything.
00:40:42.000I want to ask you, Nate, because aside from going on the ground and doing field reporting, you've confronted paid protesters.
00:40:49.000Have you faced threats to your safety from challenging them in person?
00:40:54.000In person, all I've had is a water bottle thrown at me.
00:41:56.000Do you think these people are starting to track you because they know you're putting out videos that are getting hundreds of thousands or millions of views?
00:42:01.000I mean, like, when I go to a protest, almost instantly, I do have people following me asking, you know, telling the protesters not to speak with me.
00:42:08.000But it has a reverse effect because a lot of the protesters are like, what's the problem with this kid?
00:43:29.000A lot of the anti-Israel protesters out there, all these Arabs and Muslims out there, I don't think they're getting paid to be there.
00:43:34.000I think they think they're fighting for their motherland.
00:43:36.000Then there are these other group of people who are being paid, though.
00:43:38.000And these are these pieces of shit legal observers who are who say they're only there to make sure police are doing their job, but they're really there to just assist the far left protesters in whatever protest they're trying to proceed in.
00:43:49.000Then this other group of people who might be the worst out of any of these are the sympathetic photographers, the protesters and everything but name photographers looking to like aggrandize these people and like take sexy pictures of them for their Instagram pages.
00:44:03.000And then they could all post their pictures and try to make it look like they're doing something relevant on the street so they could try to be put in some newspaper article and like front page of the New York Times.
00:44:11.000And it's a collection of them and they'll all work together.
00:44:14.000And then there'll be like Fed stories from the protesters.
00:44:16.000So they'll work hand in fist with them.
00:44:21.000But I just sort of wanted to break down what's going on on the streets over there.
00:44:24.000The legal observers, I think I have the biggest beef with because they are so nakedly and openly partisan.
00:44:29.000They won't go to any right-wing rallies and try to protect right-wingers and just say, oh, we're just observing what's going on and trying to protect their First Amendment rights.
00:44:36.000It's only at far left events where they feel like it is necessary for them to show up and micromanage the police's every move.
00:44:42.000Yeah, and it's so the way they behave is so catty.
00:44:52.000Moe, who's who's going to be in a camp at Occupy Wall Street?
00:44:56.000Do you think it's going to be any legitimate journalist who's like, I want to get to the bottom of what's going on?
00:45:00.000Nate, why aren't you camping with these far leftists and following around?
00:45:03.000And it's because it's only a certain kind of person that would literally do that.
00:45:08.000When I went to Occupy, it was largely just an interesting thing for me to see.
00:45:13.000I also have no problem with sleeping in the streets.
00:45:15.000So when Occupy started, I was like, sure, whatever.
00:45:19.000What I end up finding is that were I not there, the narrative, the history of that space will always have been a lie because the leftists control the narrative.
00:45:30.000There were a handful of rapes in the park.
00:46:49.000The other side of the park tried holding their own rally because they were concerned that they were the actual Occupy and being shut out.
00:46:56.000And facilitators came and threatened violence against them.
00:47:00.000That's how insane Occupy Wall Street was.
00:47:03.000What was actually going on in that park was disarray, disorganization, and chaos.
00:47:09.000I guarantee you, if you find one of these occupiers who wrote a book about it, it's going to be a romanticized fantasy utopia of what happened.
00:47:16.000They use narratives like that to try and convince people communism will work.
00:47:21.000Then you actually go and experience what it was.
00:47:23.000Let me tell you, there was a, I walked into the park one day and they had the food section.
00:47:28.000They were giving out food to people who were hungry.
00:47:30.000Tourists who were walking through the park to check out Occupy were taking some of this food.
00:48:07.000During the George Floyd riots, there was this one van that would show up to all of the events to like hand out snacks and goodies and make sure everybody at the protests and like was like hydrated and everything.
00:48:15.000Just strange things that people decide to commit.
00:48:17.000And I don't think like even those people were paid.
00:48:27.000Yeah, but also like something I really want people to know about is that how often there are arrests at these protests.
00:48:33.000Arrests in New York City are expensive, right?
00:48:35.000Like a lot of time, these police are on overtime.
00:48:38.000And so, who pays to bail these people out?
00:48:41.000Okay, look into, or you can watch one of my videos on it, but you can, if you go to scroll down in the bottom of Palestine Legal, you will see at the bottom, Tide Center.
00:48:49.000So, George Soros gives money to the Tide Center.
00:48:51.000And this organization is just made to bail protesters out.
00:49:24.000You do, what it would look like if cash actually said we are going to start arresting and shutting down these funding sources.
00:49:31.000We're talking about what hundreds of nonprofits with millions of dollars in funding.
00:49:36.000We're talking about an entire sector of our economy, like probably a decent percentage that is literally just professional revolutionaries, agitators, and their and their legal apparatus.
00:50:30.000Based on what you know about this paid protesting stuff, what do you think it looks like when the DOJ finally announces the first indictments or the moves against these networks?
00:50:40.000Well, you can look at oversight committee.
00:50:41.000Like Ana Paulina Luna is doing a great job with this.
00:50:43.000She's already, she knows about Singam.
00:50:45.000They know they need to bring this guy who's a Marxist billionaire living in China, whose wife is Jody Evans, who's the code pink one, who's literally harassing congressmen whenever they're, you know, at the cafeteria.
00:50:54.000They know the names already, which is a huge start.
00:50:56.000And they've been public about knowing the names.
00:50:59.000So I think it looks like wrapping up these giant umbrellas, right?
00:52:36.000Is there something to be said about like oftentimes I think like I think back to the LA riots earlier this year where there is a propensity on the right to disbelieve that this can just occur organically and we kind of want someone up up the ladder that we can chuck in jail, which I mean, I'm not like this is obviously really at the core of a lot of these things.
00:52:55.000But like when I look at the LA riots, to me, there is enough tension in like, yeah, that community with ICE that these sort of riots would occur anyway, regardless of enough Mexicans in LA pissed about ICE deporting their family members.
00:53:45.000So it's like saying, putting them in different columns is it's needed because there's some people, different people who donate the tithes, but it's mostly Soros.
00:55:19.000I do think the left wing does a very good job of organizing their donations and their funds and raising funds from donors across the board for what issues they care about.
00:55:28.000So if you read through these different organizations, it's catch-all leftist issues, but it's things like gun control, LGBTQ issues, race issues, abortion issues.
00:55:43.000But they do an effective job of raising money individually for all of these different organizations.
00:55:47.000What I wish would happen on the right is that we had as good of interest groups fundraising money like this to effectively battle them.
00:55:54.000So there needs to be people who care about, I mean, there's every issue across the board, but gun rights, caring about immigration and closing our borders.
00:56:02.000We need to raise funds to have PACs to donate to candidates who support those issues.
00:56:06.000And they're very, very organized in how they do this stuff.
00:56:10.000I mean, I guess we do Republicans raise a ton of money for anti-abortion stuff.
00:56:13.000I mean, I would just like to build a Venmo Ice.
00:56:19.000I think it is that the right has such a hard time with that.
00:56:22.000So I've always pointed out, like, in my lifetime, at any place that I've lived, I've only ever had door knockers come to my door that are campaigning for left-wing organizations or campaigns.
00:56:48.000And 501c3 was basically like, okay, okay, if you're because of freedom of religion, we will create advocacy groups for other ideological causes that function similarly.
00:56:56.000That's why they always say churches can't engage in politics from the pulpit or whatever.
00:57:27.000When the left comes, it's not different.
00:57:30.000They're espousing values of their non-theistic religion.
00:57:34.000The issue is that what you're talking about, Brett, I think is, or I should say, a lot, where's the moderate, pro-America, meritocratic-based PACs and organizations trying to advance that?
00:57:47.000I mean, I guess we're turning point USA was doing the best job of that, but the left really effectively took Charlie Kirk off the board.
00:57:53.000Brett, to answer your question, though, why I think this is more prevalent on the left and not the right, it's because at the core of, I feel like right-wingers' ideology is like an individualism.
00:58:02.000And it's like the idea of coming together and trying to work with others to try to like accomplish something big and like get into like this big commune.
00:58:11.000And I think right-wingers think that's kind of gay, as opposed to people on the left where it's like, oh, you know, let's find somebody to like raise money for to try to achieve a goal together and let's all work together.
00:58:21.000And I feel like that's a very left-wing type idea.
00:58:25.000So naturally, it flows that they'd want to organize more than a right-winger would.
00:58:29.000A right-winger would say, Hey, I think I could do this on my own and fight this on my own.
00:58:35.000Like, I don't want to have to be somebody else's employee.
00:58:37.000On the left, they're like, Let's all hold hands and we're all equal.
00:58:41.000And let's, here, I'll give you a ton of my money trying to go accomplish something.
00:58:44.000Or if they would try to start building some type of coalition, they start arguing about it and then wouldn't get around to the actual building.
00:58:50.000Well, beyond that, too, it's like the left for 30, 40 years now, or 56 years now, has provided like a vision for how they want the country to be reoriented, how it wants to be structured.
00:59:00.000And so that gave leftists and just like people on left broadly something to buy into, something to organize around.
00:59:06.000Where the right, it really wasn't until Trump that a vision was provided for America.
00:59:11.000For 60 years, the Republican Party was like, let's just slow them down.
00:59:14.000There's just like one quick thing about this that about like leftist NGOs.
00:59:18.000A lot of them started for like with good intentions.
00:59:29.000On the left, we changed the definition of immigrant and we just refer to illegal immigrants as immigrants.
00:59:35.000And it's awful because people like my father who came to the country, legally waited, you know, fled communism, contributed, is now being described as the same way as someone who hopped the border and is trafficking drugs.
00:59:47.000I can tell you the big problem with nonprofits, nonprofits are supposed to go out of business.
01:01:09.000Greenpeace is like the leftist nonprofit.
01:01:14.000They got started because there was a small handful of people who got a boat and opposed nuclear testing, nuclear bombs being detonated in the ocean.
01:01:22.000And so they would bring their boats into the fray and sit there so the tests could not be done.
01:01:27.000And they got a bunch of donations for it.
01:01:30.000Now, you name an environmental cause, they're against it.
01:01:56.000It's funny because it's the same thing as big pharma.
01:01:59.000If they cure your disease, they're out of business.
01:02:00.000I think also now that I think about it, more than anything, like I said, all the door knockers that have ever come to my home have always been, they're always young adults.
01:02:10.000And that same sense of idealism doesn't necessarily exist on the right.
01:02:14.000It's a form of pragmatism towards the future that they want an idealistic future, but they have too pragmatic of a worldview to really buy into that.
01:02:23.000So it's easier to sell people on the idea of hope than it is to actually sell them a realistic plan.
01:02:29.000It's easier to sell people on free shit than sell people on individual responsibility.
01:02:34.000Gentlemen, many of you may have wondered why our number one is not here, Philabonte, and why Tate was filling in.
01:02:44.000I am currently peeling some foil off of a bottle of Bubbly, which says, pop and cheer when baby Labanti is here.
01:02:54.000As Philabonte has just super chatted, I'm at the hospital.
01:02:58.000Sarah's water just broke and are about to welcome our first son to the world.
01:03:01.000By the time you read this, he will likely already be here.
01:03:03.000Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes.
01:05:31.000In New York, she had guards described as beefy and chiseled as she attended a conference, the New York Historical Society, put on by private equity giant Red Bird Capital.
01:05:39.000The source of the detail was hired because there are enhanced security concerns.
01:05:43.000It's highly unusual for a news executive to have six bodyguards, a former network exec told the Post.
01:05:48.000Now, I'm going to give you my gosh darn honest opinion of Barry Weiss.
01:05:53.000I believe she's a fair bit of vanilla pudding.
01:05:56.000And I mean that only a little derisively.
01:07:08.000And the right over here are the moderate conservatives.
01:07:11.000And the fringe element is probably up and down because it doesn't, the left and the right on this quadrant doesn't literally mean left and right.
01:07:18.000Actually, I'm sorry, left actually does, but you can see, I'm assuming they're going authoritarian libertarian.
01:07:22.000If you were to get rid of, I wonder if I can, it's not going to let me zoom in, I don't think, yet, and things are red stupid.
01:07:28.000If you were to get rid of the blue faction here, just hack it off completely.
01:07:33.000This red network represents America where Barry Weiss is on the left of it, which means to this weird death cult on the left, this blue cluster, she's far right.
01:07:43.000So even though a lot of people are going to claim that she's a liberal, that she's barely better than woke, they want her dead.
01:07:51.000And that is insane of what this country has come to.
01:07:55.000And that's why I'm like, good, I'm glad Barry's succeeding because we want her to represent liberal.
01:08:00.000I mean, she's spoken out against the weird woke stuff.
01:08:03.000We still think she's liberal and we disagree with some of the things she says, but it's America.
01:08:09.000What does that say about the state of the country that Barry Weiss, who, yeah, is fairly centrist, I would say, needs an intense security detail like this?
01:08:17.000I mean, that just shows you how crazy the temperature is going.
01:09:23.000Paramount just merged with Skydance, and Paramount just put in an offer to buy Warner Brothers and was turned down because David Zazlav saw the stock spike after he turned them down.
01:10:50.000So you've got Guttfeld and Jesse Waters at Fox, and I think they actually do a very good job of calling out the lies and the manipulations.
01:10:57.000You know, you keep saying vanilla pudding like it's a bad thing.
01:11:09.000I'm saying that there's a distinction between when you walk into a grocery store and they've got 800 brands of vanilla, of course we like it.
01:11:51.000That's like somebody threatening, wasn't it?
01:11:53.000Yeah, somebody he was pardoned for his involvement in genuine.
01:11:58.000Then there's also a DOJ indictment for somebody threatening to kill Laura Lumer and a couple of other right-wing Zionist people.
01:12:04.000Of course, we are coming off the heels of the murder of Charlie Kirk outside of the Israeli embassy in D.C. We saw the murder of the two Israeli embassy workers.
01:12:13.000We also saw Josh Shapiro's home be firebombed.
01:12:20.000So this will be the norm moving forward.
01:12:23.000Your legislators, the lawmakers, the political commentators are now living in fear because the norm is to threaten to murder and kill them.
01:12:31.000Look, okay, so a couple weeks ago, somebody posted a picture of like Barack Obama and Mitt Romney at one of the debates and said like, this was the last time politics felt like it had some decorum to it.
01:12:42.000And all the comments were like, they called him a Nazi too, right?
01:12:45.000But the difference was back then, it was a more, you know, extreme part of the left's faction, whereas now you just have the mainstream politicians saying the same thing.
01:12:55.000So the whole of the party has shifted.
01:12:58.000If someone were to get killed in the political space, nobody would be surprised.
01:13:50.000They said there's a heightened security situation.
01:13:51.000And it's like, when Barry Weiss has to have security to this degree, something like it is, it is, it is bad out there.
01:13:58.000Is the value in it perhaps that so maybe it's not worth $150 million, but with the election of Donald Trump, a lot of these media organizations definitely tried to pull themselves back towards closer to the middle, that they saw the value in it in being a more moderate, middle-of-the-road outlet that she could bring some types of moderation back to the non-recognition.
01:14:39.000They're like, look, her journalism in the past looks like it's down there, it's middle down the road, and she can foster an environment for a newsroom that will be middle down the road and rebuild trust down the line.
01:14:49.000not saying that that's what's going to happen.
01:14:51.000I'm saying, is that something that an executive...
01:14:55.000Sorry, but maybe in the sense that they said, Barry, would you like to run our news division because our woke institution has failed?
01:15:01.000And she said, No, because I have mine.
01:15:03.000And then she was only willing to sell unless it went for a ridiculous number.
01:15:06.000Well, I think it's just like, it's like when an NBA team has just had disastrous luck and then they just go into free agency and just pay like a wash player, like a super max contract.
01:15:36.000I think you made an earlier point about how, like, I think there's less money now in just bashing Trump 24/7.
01:15:43.000I think that's evident with Joy Reid being fired from MSNBC and several other anchors on MSNBC.
01:15:48.000And I think, honestly, I think Barry Weiss is probably the best thing for Democrats maybe ever in the last five years because I think there are so many people on the left who feel politically homeless.
01:15:59.000There are so many people on the left, and I talk to them on the streets, they hate Trump, but they also don't want to transition minors and have no borders.
01:16:07.000Yeah, but they hate Trump for no real reason is the problem.
01:16:10.000I don't disagree with that, but they hate him.
01:16:34.000I just think we were talking with Graham Linehan about how he was just, he was attacking even Dant Dankula, and now he's kind of come to a senses, realizing they were lying to him.
01:18:05.000The thing to that point is, like, it's like when I point it all the time, it's like when you point out the accounts like Defiant L's, which I think ended up being like foreign influence, anyways.
01:18:13.000But the point is, it shows you all of the hypocrisy.
01:19:53.000He's thinking it's better for it to come out now than in 10 months.
01:19:56.000Also, one other funny part about this story is that this guy actually also was involved with like training Antifa people on how to shoot guns.
01:20:04.000If you want to pull up that story, he has an Antifa flag while he's shooting with people like doing furries.
01:20:09.000He's somehow both a Nazi and a communist at the same time.
01:20:54.000The use of the term Nazi was one of the like, I was, it's not a, it's a dumb play by the left because I went to the Tesla takedown protests and I spoke to people that were on the outer edges of the protest.
01:21:05.000People who were like, I hate that Elon is a part of the administration, but I want to support this.
01:22:15.000The left says, if you defy us, you're a right-wing troll.
01:22:18.000You're the enemy and you'll be shut out.
01:22:20.000But my only rebuttal to that is that I think if you got a roundtable of like every faction of the right, whatever, most would agree, if not all, would agree, we should close the border.
01:22:43.000You can have a pro-choice, pro-universal healthcare, pro-progressive tax individual debating an economic, laissez-faire capitalist who is a moral traditionalist.
01:22:58.000And then when they both, but they're black, but we love America.
01:23:01.000We're just trying to figure out what America should be.
01:23:03.000When you ask basic things like, should America have borders?
01:23:15.000They're like, you know, you're like losing out a lot of business by having communist flags, but not even any American flags.
01:23:20.000Yeah, well, that's that's the big tension is like, well, like Platiner, all that, there's, there's a lot of aesthetic variation on the left.
01:23:27.000So Platiner is like the tough hicclib, like, you know, hey, don't mess with my, don't misgender my daughter.
01:23:32.000But it's like still just like a rebranding of the same ideas.
01:23:35.000And then you got like Zoron eating with his hands, and then you got like Bernie, he's like a communist.
01:23:39.000So they have a variation in aesthetics, but like fundamentally, they're just trying to repackage the same garbage ideas.
01:23:46.000You know, on the right, there's actually kind of more of like an aesthetic, like co-like, it's like concise, but you get a vast variation in ideology.
01:23:55.000When it comes to their large-scale ideas, they're forced to fall in line anyways, like, especially as the far left gains more control in the party, right?
01:24:02.000So how many of the there was a time when they believed that like Nancy Pelosi and like the old school Democrats were going to be able to keep the new left, well, not the new left, but the new leftists in line in the party.
01:24:13.000But now if you don't fall in line with climate change, if you don't fall in line with open borders, if you won't willingly misinterpret the idea of a legal immigrant as just an immigrant, then you are an enemy to the party.
01:24:24.000So yeah, they do all coalesce around the idea that they hate Trump, but Trump is just the figurehead for which is what Tim said earlier, gay race communism.
01:24:32.000Bro, did you guys see Nick Shirley's video where he asks the guy holding up the sign, do you think illegal immigrants should be deported?
01:25:09.000It is an unbelievably powerful tool to misconstrue language on purpose.
01:25:15.000Because first of all, 75% of the people are normies who don't know what you're talking about and will not look into it any further.
01:25:21.000The rest of them know that yielding, like using the wrong term is a way to wield power over people because they will not understand the difference.
01:26:54.000It's like when you use the, if you have to argue with somebody about the idea of racism, you have a completely definition of the idea of racism than somebody who learned that term in college.
01:27:56.000And I don't think it's tenable as a group for them to stay together.
01:27:59.000And but like just one like quick thing is that that's where Barry Weiss comes in is because my point about the gender expansive youth.
01:28:04.000So I know like people will watch a video of mine and they might be on the left and they'll see that I expose someone who teaches gender expansive youth and they'll say, look, I don't like Trump, but I can turn to someone like Barry Weiss who is on the left who doesn't agree with the term gender expansive youth.
01:28:16.000That's what I mean by the rescue mission that she's but you can't salvage the Democratic Party.
01:28:19.000I agree with you, but they're look at what Newsome Pritzker and these other people vying for power do.
01:28:26.000They're going to pander to these crackpots.
01:28:28.000Well, I think it's these three issues that are seriously fracturing the Democrat Party.
01:29:12.000A Texas man has been arrested for making death threats to media figures, including Laura Loomer, posting on ex-Florida Attorney General James Utmeyer.
01:29:19.000Said his office had obtained an arrest warrant for Nicholas Ray of Spring, Texas, after it was notified of multiple specific death threats made to Jewish conservative media members who live in Florida.
01:29:27.000Loomer revealed she was one of the people who had been targeted in another post on X. Newsweek reached out to Loomer in the Florida Attorney General's office by email for comment on the story, whatever.
01:29:37.000Threats come at a time of heightened worries.
01:29:41.000Writing on X Loomer said she had received credible threats made against her life in the lives of several Jewish and pro-Israel conservatives.
01:29:47.000She said the threats were targeted at Jewish Trump-supporting conservatives who lived in Florida.
01:29:52.000I became one of Nicholas Ray's targets because he was radicalized by the false accusations that I'm a foreign agent.
01:29:57.000And then he proceeded to make a serious and credible threat against my life.
01:30:01.000They say police have been stationed outside right-wing influencer Laura Loomer's home after she received anti-Semitic death threats.
01:30:08.000Ms. Loomer, one of Trump's most loyal attack dogs outside of his administration, was among several Jewish figures in Florida who had been subject to a barrage of online threats and abuse.
01:30:18.000I will just stress: the left just held their No Kings protest.
01:30:23.000Hassan Piker has gone on the ground to various protests.
01:30:29.000Prominent right-wing conservatives live under 24-7 armed guard because of what the left has threatened against them and what they've actually carried out.
01:30:38.000The current state of this country is that the left is a psychotic faction of violent, terroristic ideologues.
01:30:47.000And I'm sorry, I am not playing these stupid games where liberals are like, well, not me.
01:30:52.000Yeah, well, when you got teachers pointing at their neck and going bang, bang, nurses, accountants jumping up and down, cheering for Charlie Kirk's death, when an accountant from Atlanta drives to rural North Carolina and tries to murder a Trump supporter, he's never met just for being a Trump supporter.
01:31:57.000But like I'm not blaming Candace Owens or APAC Tracker for why this person decided to send threats to Laura Loomer and other right-wing Zionists, but it seems as though something on Twitter might have made this person think or informed him on some things that might have led him astray like this.
01:32:14.000The Israel stuff is getting real hot as well.
01:35:01.000Maybe this kind of talk is what's driving Nicholas Ray crazy.
01:35:03.000I guess I'm happy that I'm kind of irrelevant where I mean the issue is how long the war has been going on.
01:35:10.000Because if we look back at other wars throughout history that last a few years, I mean, look at like Texas breaking off from Mexico or whatever, or the Mexican-American War.
01:37:07.000Well, in Chicago, when there was, like, I talked about the gang neighborhood, LeClaire Courts, the city just said, bulldoze all the houses, and then we don't care what happens.
01:37:14.000And then what they did was all these people that were all the gangbangers went to Joliet.
01:37:18.000So it's like, it's not Chicago anymore, so it ain't our problem.
01:37:22.000They asked like James Gunn, like, if when he saw Superman, right?
01:37:25.000And they were like, Peacemaker sucked.
01:37:27.000But you saw Superman, they were like, did you make this movie?
01:37:29.000Like, was this supposed to be a commentary on Israel and Gaza?
01:37:32.000He's like, well, actually, I wrote this movie before the writer's strike.
01:38:30.000It was a little wild all over the place.
01:38:32.000And then the one really great moment they had set up, he just ruined.
01:38:36.000I just feel like I grew out of his humor.
01:38:37.000It reminds me of that scene from, what is it, Tommy Boy, where he's talking to the waitress and he's like, got the bun in his hand and he's like, and I stroke it and caress it.
01:40:16.000So I encourage you guys to go to Timcast.com and sign up, and you will have, you will be the back half an hour for the Friday night show.
01:40:23.000You got to have like the sign from V for Vendetta, the strength through unity sign that he carves the V in on the wall at the beginning of the movie.
01:40:31.000I mean, it's funny because they paint in that movie, it's a Christian nationalist society, strength through unity, and they're evil villains who are torturing people.
01:40:42.000I would, you know, what I'd like to do?
01:40:43.000I'm really excited for AI because already Sora 2 has the capability to make feature-length movies that are good.
01:40:51.000The problem is that the processing power is too great and there's too many people who want to use it.
01:40:56.000But I guarantee you, Open AI internally is probably already doing this.
01:41:41.000What I would do is I would rewrite it from the perspective of V being the villain trying to tear down a country because in the V universe, the United States has fallen into civil war and much of the world is in disarray and they have isolated themselves to protect them from the outside threats.
01:41:56.000You tell it from that perspective where there is this guy who is an extremist trying to destroy the government for his wacky ideological views and people supporting him.
01:42:39.000So like in V for Vendetta, the inciting incident towards the end is where the soldier, the fingerman, kills the little girl wearing the mask.
01:42:47.000He'll just remake it so she's got like a bomb vest on.
01:42:51.000If I was going to have AI do it, I'd literally just say write this with an inverted perspective where the good guys are the bad guys, the bad guys are the good guys and justify it properly, blah, blah, blah.
01:43:02.000But I wouldn't write, no, I think I talked about this with the Dublin riots.
01:43:25.000So when the police protect somebody who raped a 10-year-old girl or a group of men who have been raping little girls, I can understand why people are rioting because there is an evil governmental force protecting child rapists.
01:44:41.000Money Badger says, follow Antifa, and what you'll find are furries and commies, but you follow the money and you have no idea where they'll take you.
01:45:10.000Like, there's a pallet of bricks next to a building for no reason, and they're just like, it just so happens, whoever these protests are, there's construction that needs pallets of bricks.
01:45:31.000Mason says, if you remake Game of Thrones, Jamie needs to kill the Night King with his sword, newly aflame with the voices of everyone who called him Kingsland.
01:48:19.000I think they might, I'm pretty sure they're 12-ounce bottles.
01:48:25.000If you want a glass bottle product, rubber corks were incredibly common, I think, even like 30 years ago, but they cost around two cents more per crown cap.
01:48:36.000So if you want plastic-free, it is available.
01:49:21.000I went to Flint and I took samples of the tap water from several buildings as well as from the river and brought it to NYU for spectral analysis to see what was wrong with it.
01:49:50.000I reached out to them, got a sample kit.
01:49:53.000They said, we need control samples and then we need, you know, regular samples.
01:49:57.000So what we did was I took samples of water from where I lived in Miami in the Redlands, two of each.
01:50:03.000You take two samples from one, from each water source.
01:50:05.000Went to Flint, went to a residence, went to two businesses, and went to the river, collected water from two different parts of the river, two samples from each, went back, gave them the samples, and they found that the Flint water was totally fine.
01:50:21.000And the water from Miami was really high in uranium.
01:50:23.000And they believe that's from fertilizer run up from the farmlands.
01:51:23.000Millennial Mama says, Glenn Beck said that when the FBI visited him, they said they were starting from scratch with the Anti-Fund investigation.
01:51:30.000They wanted info that came from his October 8th special.
01:51:33.000Glad to hear they've gotten pretty far, gotten pretty far pretty quickly.
01:52:18.000We tried moving some people over to make sure people were still able to work.
01:52:22.000But considering now the changing landscape, we've actually been having a discussion about bringing back some elements of the news team, but to scanner.com, not through Timcast.
01:52:33.000SCNR right now largely just hosts the Inverted World podcast, and it was where our news team was.
01:52:39.000But we're actually thinking of bringing back independent news reporting through scnr.com.
01:52:58.000Don't expect deep investigative stuff because that's not what we do.
01:53:01.000It's going to be more general inquiry questions.
01:53:04.000When a news story happens pertaining to like the boat strikes in Venezuela or whatever, we'll reach out for a comment, things like that.
01:53:11.000That's what we're looking at right now.
01:53:13.000And I think it would be a very good idea.
01:53:15.000But it's going to be wholly separate from Timcast.com, Discord community, and all that stuff if we do it because this was the problem.
01:53:22.000The muddying, like Timcast.com offering everything from the podcast and a news team.
01:53:27.000When the news team got in trouble, it threatened to shut the podcast down.
01:53:30.000So then we were like, let's move the news team to a different company so that they're two separate entities because Timcast IRL is a separate entity with its own standards.
01:53:40.000It shouldn't get shut down because someone wrote a news article.
01:53:42.000The problem then is we need to create two distinct memberships.
01:53:46.000So how many of you would be willing to pay $10 a month for Timcast.com and $10 a month for Scanner News.
01:54:37.000And then we started, the show started getting put at risk very seriously.
01:54:41.000Now, what I think we'll do is we'll bring on like one or two journalists for SCNR, start putting out some articles, and then build up memberships from there and grow it organically.
01:54:51.000So we'll have some reporting from the Pentagon for you.
01:54:59.000Scott Kuhn says, charitable foundations get around the ban on lobbying Congress by setting up an NGO and making donations large enough no one has to report where it came from or where it went.
01:55:10.000You know, I'm fairly certain that lobbying is done at the poker table.
01:55:17.000I've said it before, I'll say it again.
01:56:31.000So maybe he played some high-stakes poker or something.
01:56:34.000But I'm going to go ahead and say, just not that I have any evidence to this, but I think, guys, let me tell you, you know, watch Hustler Casino or The Lodge when they play high stakes.
01:56:47.000And there are certain characters you'll see on these shows that they'll make a bet of like $100,000 on the worst hand imaginable.
01:56:54.000There was recently a guy, and I'm not trying to appeal anyone's honor.
01:58:10.000Well, he's obviously very comfortable in the stakes that he plays because people get stressed out when you get shoved on, but Tim doesn't have that stress.
01:59:45.000Well, it's just that the thing is, I would just describe Allison as playing at advanced poker at the highest level, they'd probably crush her because they'd start pulling off bluffs and they'd start exploiting.
01:59:56.000But at low stakes, she just plays the tightest game possible.
01:59:59.000So it's like for her, it's nuts or nothing.
02:00:01.000And then what ends up happening is someone thinks she can't be that strong, and then she always ends up beating him.
02:00:07.000We got to grab more super chats, stop talking poker, though.
02:01:40.000You know, we're going to go over to rumble.com/slash Timcast IRL for the uncensored portion of the show where you, as members of the Discord, can call in.
02:01:48.000So make sure you join us at Timcast.com.
02:02:13.000I'm the White House correspondent and now Pentagon correspondent here at Timcast.
02:02:17.000Also, I don't know if you guys noticed I am wearing my UB shirt, the Buffalo Bulls shirt, because I went to college and I know there's this sort of anti-education streak going on in the right.
02:02:27.000Guys, after I graduated college, I was too a little bit unnerved with the degree I got and how it went and my job prospects after the fact.
02:02:35.000But actually getting an education, the more time I spend around people who didn't go to college, it might be a good idea, guys.
02:03:21.000So when we were talking about the group chats on the Young Republicans, and the meme was where someone called, like someone said gay retard, and then some leftist was like, why would someone call someone a gay retard?
02:03:34.000And the response was, because they're my friend.
02:03:36.000And then Tate said all of his friends are gay retards.
02:07:39.000If I'm playing tight and trying to actually leave with money and someone shoves on me, I would consider folding Ace King suited, depending on the player.
02:09:06.000I have a question for you guys about this, and it is: how do you feel about them setting fire to police vehicles and launching fireworks at cops?
02:10:19.000I, in the history, in modern history of conflict, I am, what's the right word?
02:10:30.000I would gush if I met the Intel guys who fucking crushed the IRA as mercilessly and perfectly and in such a humiliating fashion as they did.
02:10:45.000Whoever the fuck the World Economic Forum guy was that said, let's take Irish Republicanism and turn it to gay race communism is a fucking mastermind.
02:10:59.000I'm just like, these were Irish nationalists that wanted a nation only for the Irish and you turned them into homosexual globo homo, whatever the fuck.
02:11:09.000Now they're bringing in African and Middle Eastern migrants that rape their children.
02:11:51.000Infiltrated and destroyed their political faction and turned them from an Irish nationalist organization into gay race communists that bring Middle Eastern goat herders into their country that rape their children.
02:12:05.000Like, talk about being so fucking annihilated.
02:12:09.000I'm sorry for yelling, but I'm like, bro, I watch Mortal Kombat and when fucking Scorpion rips the guy's head out and his spine is dangling, this is worse.
02:12:36.000And like Irish republicanism, Irish nationalism always had an undercurrent of left-wing thought.
02:12:43.000A lot of people aren't going to like that, but it's true.
02:12:45.000And it was because they were in opposition to British unionists.
02:12:48.000They were in opposition to the Protestant English who were imposing their will.
02:12:52.000So that's just naturally to the British Empire.
02:12:55.000So that's just kind of naturally how this that's why the Irish, even going back prior to the like real onslaught of gay race communism, they saw like the Palestinians, they felt like there was like this commonality and that is still continuing.
02:13:07.000That's how they were conquered because they were like, we are occupied just like the Palestinians are occupied.
02:13:11.000But they weren't saying bring Islam into Ireland and change our names to Muhammad.
02:13:19.000Well, yeah, but it kind of tracks because like leftist thought and leftist thought inevitably evolves or devolves into let's just exterminate ourselves.
02:13:30.000I'm telling you, at the World Economic Forum Awards, whoever was in charge of the Ireland issue walks in and gets a standing ovation from every single, they're like, just, you know, in the United States, you have this right-wing populism, American nationalism, Christian nationalism, civic nationalism, and even white nationalism.
02:13:59.000But yeah, I mean, obviously it's a little bit different because we're just not used to in the West.
02:14:03.000We're not used to like large insurgent groups, paramilitaries.
02:14:09.000And Ireland was the only place that had it.
02:14:10.000And that's why you're seeing this happen.
02:14:12.000If you could go back in time to the Troubles and take these guys and show them what the future was going to be, what do you think they'd do?
02:14:21.000I mean, she hit themselves in the head.
02:14:25.000But it was like, it was always broadly, it was always broadly a left-wing thing, the IRA.
02:16:24.000It's like the UK, I think, because they, I think just generally because of the class that populates the political scene is mostly like upper class.
02:16:34.000They don't want to embrace populism because it feels dirty and gross.
02:16:37.000They leave that to Tommy Robinson and those types, and they don't want to embrace it.
02:16:40.000Meanwhile, in America, classes are a bit more fluid.
02:16:43.000You kind of move up, and now we're not nearly as like stratified where embracing populism, and then you can intellectualize it later.
02:16:49.000Where the UK, they take themselves like, oh, no, that's not for us.
02:16:52.000We got to like hash this out at the Oxford Debate Club or whatever.
02:17:06.000So my question is really to the room, but primarily Tim.
02:17:09.000Should we keep blowing up drug boats or should we actually capture those drug runners and throw them into Guatanamo as actual bona fide POWs?
02:17:20.000The issue, well, there are issues with bombing the boats.
02:19:25.000They are trying to encourage people to rise up in Venezuela.
02:19:29.000Yeah, well, that's how they do the regime change.
02:19:30.000This is also like personal for Marco Rubio's from South Florida, and that's a really important issue to voters in South Florida, is like taking out Venezuela.
02:19:38.000Like it's like a personal act of grant.
02:19:40.000Not saying that there's not valid reasons to do it.
02:19:42.000I'm just saying Marco Rubio specifically has a bone to pick with Maduro.
02:19:46.000Beyond Rubio, I feel like there's so many Floridians in the cabinet.
02:19:50.000You have Pam Bondi as well, Susie Wiles.
02:19:53.000Susie Wiles did the staffing, so that's why there's such a large Florida contingent.
02:19:57.000I feel like I'm missing a few as well.
02:19:58.000There are a ton of Floridians in the admin.
02:20:21.000Yeah, if you wanted to blow up boats in any other case, you would blow up drug runners.
02:20:25.000It would sound like you're being a neocon.
02:20:27.000Because the policy about regime change in faraway lands is silly, but the idea of defending our borders from people intent on killing us is normal.
02:20:36.000I feel as though many people would describe what you're advancing, though, as neoconnery.
02:20:41.000Like Kurt Mills, for example, I think he would call this neoconnery.
02:20:44.000He said it's like a neocon way of fucking insane.
02:20:50.000If there is a cartel member, a known, I want you to imagine, southern border in Texas, National Guard, and across the way, they see a dude with a rifle, known cartel guy, and they're pulling in a bunch of drugs, fucking unload on them.
02:21:07.000To these people, doing anything by force makes you a neocon.
02:21:12.000Listen, in the United States, people are allowed to carry guns.
02:21:17.000If a guy's walking down the street open carrying in the in I just said there's no issue.
02:21:24.000If you see someone attempting to illegally cross the border outside of a border checkpoint, there is strong grounds for the use of lethal force.
02:21:33.000Just like now, if they're obviously trafficking drugs, I believe the U.S. military should issue a warning, like whatever that is, warning shot or something.
02:21:44.000And if they keep charging forward armed cartel members, we know they murder.
02:21:48.000We know they kill, they'll kill children, and we know they're bringing drugs in, kill them, fucking shoot them.
02:22:01.000Or Ukraine sending resources to Ukraine.
02:22:03.000What the fuck is our border is our fucking border, and we need to make sure that these people know if they intend to do us harm, we will defend our border.
02:22:52.000So generally, from the left, we've seen the fight being a branding battle where they're trying to influence feels, whereas we see from the right a trend towards facts and logic.
02:23:02.000Recently, we've seen left-wing leaders such as Newsome, Warren, AOC, Chuck Schumer, just to name a few.
02:23:09.000They're quick to brand things like the government shutdown as the Republicans shutdown, the ballroom construction, this new DOJ settlement or pending settlement as some sort of illegal or authoritarian or corrupt act from the president.
02:23:24.000And they don't seem to have any self-awareness of how their own attacks are playing against their prior actions or just a disregard for truth.
02:23:37.000There's been no mea culpa from them for COVID, no understanding of modern unilateral left-wing political violence, ultimately culminating in the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk.
02:23:48.000And recently, we've been seeing them turn it up to 11 regarding the information warfare campaign.
02:23:54.000So getting my question, realizing part of this is their job in a way as politicians, but with the goal of national unity, how does truth and logic win in today's world, specifically in support of an off-ramp from U.S. Civil War 2.0?
02:24:09.000Does the right need to stoop to that level?
02:24:11.000Or with current power, do we enforce the duties associated with the rights of the First Amendment?
02:24:37.000The only time they ever talk about unity is in their own version of an off-ramp to when their rhetoric gets so hot, then something bad happens and then they have to talk about unity.
02:24:47.000They don't actually believe in it as a principle.
