Democrat Mayor of Newark, New Jersey has been arrested for her role in an attempted coup against the federal government. Meanwhile, the IRS is ramping up enforcement of tax liens on millions of Americans who missed the deadline to file their taxes. And, President Trump is offering free flights to illegal immigrants.
00:01:58.000Ladies and gentlemen, I come to you tonight with grave news.
00:02:02.000Currently ongoing, Democrats are staging an insurrection against federal authorities in an attempt to overthrow the government.
00:02:11.000Already, Democrat reps have attacked federal law enforcement and a Democrat mayor has been arrested for insurrection.
00:02:19.000Of course, this means that Republicans will be launching the 5-9 Commission to investigate why Democrats were storming into an ICE facility.
00:06:49.000I didn't have the cops dying or whatever.
00:06:51.000And then I realized, oh, we've got to lie about cops dying because they still do it to this day.
00:06:55.000There was, I think it was Cash, was it Cash Patel, I think, was talking to some woman and she said insurrectionists beat and killed police officers.
00:07:04.000And I'm like, they just make that stuff up.
00:08:40.000Standing up for criminals, not just standing up for people that are here illegally that are just trying to stand the radar and work a job, which I think they should get out of here too.
00:08:50.000But the Democrats are actually looking to stand up for criminals because they're absolutely retarded.
00:08:56.000Well, and they're all criminals themselves.
00:08:58.000Look, I think that Dems are in deep, deep trouble.
00:09:02.000You know, there's two elections most recently where the incumbent president...
00:09:08.000Maintain control of both chambers of Congress.
00:09:10.0001998, Bill Clinton, Republicans overstepped on Lewinsky stuff.
00:09:14.000And then 2002, when Dems were obstructing President Bush's national security agenda, I think that this is way worse than obstruction because this is destruction, right?
00:09:25.000They are involved in an agenda that's destroying our kids, destroying our country, and they are representing criminals.
00:09:32.000That whole Salvadorian guy, you know, the Maryland man hoax.
00:09:36.000They had to pull the plug on that because they saw the numbers in the polling were so bad for them.
00:09:40.000I want to agree with you, but I'm still of the opinion that...
00:09:44.000Well, I agree with you on everything you're saying, but I am still of the opinion that the economy is still going to be the big factor when it comes to the midterms.
00:09:55.000So if the economy is doing okay, which, I mean, as of right now, you have the...
00:10:02.000The deal that they just made with the UK, there are a couple other deals that they started talking about.
00:10:06.000If they can get actual deals and get the stock market to chill out and get the average person to feel like things are okay economically, I do think the Democrats are in serious, serious trouble.
00:10:17.000If the economy is not there, then I'm iffy about it.
00:10:22.000Does that lend a little bit of difficulty to Trump's approach, which is like, with all of the executive orders and everything that was done, I think I heard it described as like a...
00:10:36.000I think that it could, but Donald Trump is a pragmatist.
00:11:20.000I do think, though, Phil, the economy could be humming, but I was a little bit bullish because we all know Republicans tend to screw things up.
00:11:33.000Well then, okay, so let me ask you this.
00:11:34.000So you mentioned that you said that Democrats don't really have anything to run on right now, or at least it's felt that way for a very long time.
00:11:41.000If we were trying to, like, armchair quarterback for them and actually give them a platform that doesn't run them headlong into everything that Trump is doing, because most of what Trump is doing does seem as if it's at the very least good for the American economy down the line, how would Democrats change course and then find an actual...
00:12:02.000I think the Trump question has been answered.
00:12:05.000I think the American people want to move on.
00:12:19.000I think the real opportunity is to have some reasonable Democrats pull a Tip O 'Neill, start working with them to secure the border, clean up immigration.
00:13:15.000And they're too ideologically driven to do that.
00:13:18.000So it's too embedded in their platform now, whatever that platform may be.
00:13:23.000If you use Hollywood as the mouthpiece and the media as the mouthpiece, they've spent too long talking about 90-10 issues on the 10% that they can't walk that back in any meaningful way.
00:13:35.000And I think that the ideological rot within the party makes...
00:13:39.000Normally, they have to go towards wedge issues because all of the moderate policies go against the stronghold of the ideological people there.
00:13:49.000Part of the problem is they've spent so much time demonizing Donald Trump, and Donald Trump is a populist, working class...
00:14:06.000Democrats used to own the working class, but they have lost them because they decided to go with the racial identity politics and try to focus on that.
00:14:15.000They could have aligned with Donald Trump and been extremely strong and had a lot of the policies that they preferred, economic policies that they preferred, have the president totally back them.
00:14:26.000But they decided that they were going to treat him as if he was Hitler, blah, blah, blah, and try to demonize him.
00:14:31.000And now I don't think that they have the ability to come back from that, like you're saying.
00:14:36.000I don't think they have the ability to come back from that and actually become a middle-of-the-road party again.
00:14:41.000Though I do think the opportunity is there, I just don't think that they have the people in the Democratic Party that'll do that.
00:14:46.000Well, you're bringing this up, and I want to ask you the question, because, you know, I work in elections.
00:14:53.000Winning elections, the key to it is striking that delicate balance between firing up your base, making sure that they're motivated to go to the polls on election day, especially in his midterms, but then also not being too crazy for the moderates.
00:15:05.000My question to you guys is, do you think that Democrats have jumped the shark and developed, with all their hysteria about Trump, developed a super extreme base that will abandon them in the midterms if they don't go crazy?
00:15:19.000So when we looked at Democrat favorability, for one, favorability generally is way down, but this is largely due to Democrats hating themselves.
00:15:26.000AOC is the frontrunner in terms of favorability, but she has 10%.
00:15:49.000Well, do you think Barack Obama, let's say he was, or you could get a third term, do you think if he ran for the nomination, do you think he would get it?
00:16:31.000Look, I think there's a lot of, for the diehards who know that that happened or understand that, that may be one thing.
00:16:38.000But for the average everyday person, they don't know that Barack Obama was called that, nor do they know anything about the amount of deportations that happened under his watch.
00:16:47.000They have kind of rose-tinted glasses for those years, not realizing just how...
00:16:52.000The virtue signaling of the Democrat base would require them to bring up any and every issue.
00:16:58.000So right now, considering all the ICE stuff, Obama's got no move.
00:17:02.000And back when he was in office was before the rise of social media and he really was kind of steel manned as the kind of savior that he was by the media.
00:17:10.000And that kind of the bloom is off the rose when it comes to stuff like that now.
00:17:15.000Yeah, I mean, it's my sense that there's still a lot of normies that are not politically.
00:17:21.000Plugged in that, like you said, they would still feel like, oh, Obama was great.
00:17:27.000I don't know if they're enough to actually get him into office again.
00:17:30.000But he did, I mean, he did lose, he lost votes in the second term.
00:17:36.000People were like, all right, well, this wasn't quite what I had hoped for.
00:17:39.000And I do absolutely think that a lot of the Trump voters, they are Obama voters.
00:17:46.000You know, representative of what we were saying, which is the Democrats have lost the middle.
00:17:50.000They've lost the working class people because they have been the party of the very rich and the dependent class for so long now, at least.
00:17:59.00010 to 15—10 years at least, you know?
00:18:01.000Do the Republicans still struggle in the midterms, though?
00:18:04.000Without Trump on the ballot, they tend to struggle, and it seems like they lose seats whenever—like, they lost seats when Trump was in his first term, when they went into the midterms, if I remember correctly.
00:18:45.000Like, when Trump isn't on the ballot and if he's in office, then it feels like they're going to lose, like you said, because they are in power right now, so they're going to cede some seats.
00:20:36.000Planned Parenthood gets over a half a billion dollars a year in federal funding to abort more babies, sterilize more women, and sterilize children through these transgender surgeries.
00:20:57.000Like, if this was a pro-life, you know, crisis pregnancy center network all across America helping people have babies, there's no question Democrats would cut that.
00:21:05.000In fact, we don't have anything even close to the Planned Parenthood.
00:21:13.000I don't know, but I know that because of how...
00:21:15.000I don't know what's wrong with those guys, but I know that because of omnibus bills and because you want to get your stuff passed, you have to eat a ton of garbage to get your stuff passed.
00:21:25.000Pours their pet projects into the garbage pail, and then everyone says, well, we hate all the stuff that you're going to get, but at least we're getting all of our stuff, so they hold their nose and vote it.
00:21:35.000I hate omnibus bills for that reason, but we just don't have the votes to actually have the bills that we want passed, so the stuff you get, you have to do with omnibus.
00:21:46.000The only way to have the votes is to have like 275 plus.
00:22:06.000Right, and the legislative is doing nothing.
00:22:08.000So the judges are giving these universal mandates, which are unconstitutional, and Donald Trump is trying to use every semantic argument he has under codified law to do what he wants to do.
00:22:19.000You've got two branches that are asserting extreme authorities, and then you've got the legislative branch doing nothing.
00:22:24.000So I just think, you look at what's going on with Democrats now trying to storm into an ice facility, and I'm like, guys, do we expect this to get better?
00:22:33.000I mean, we keep saying it's going to get worse.
00:24:23.000Does he have the whole video there or is it an edited video?
00:24:36.000He's banking on nobody seeing the video of the actual attack and that the low-info voter will look at that and be like, oh my gosh, Trump's Gestapo is arresting federal employees.
00:26:35.000The scary thing about this is, you've talked about it before, is these tactics have been used at protests for years to kind of incite the cops and then only record what happens when the cops retaliate so that you can post about the cops acting like fascists.
00:26:49.000And that was when you were talking about regular, everyday protesters not actually employed government officials.
00:26:55.000I mean, to call them regular, everyday protesters is a little bit of an overstatement.
00:27:14.000And in the social media world where you can do things like just grab that little video clip off of anyone that has a phone around you, it's extremely effective.
00:28:52.000What action on the ground do you do to prevent that?
00:28:56.000Because you can't let them just walk over you and do whatever they want.
00:28:59.000And then as soon as you have the police go out there and actually do what is legal, which is say, okay, we're going to have to arrest you for trespassing.
00:30:18.000It is shocking how many people still believe the Very Fine People hoax.
00:30:21.000And to be fair, it is mostly boomers and the people that are most pro-Trump are Gen Z. And they're almost totally inoculated to accusations like racist and stuff like that.
00:30:33.000It is interesting because I recorded a show with Adam Conover earlier.
00:30:45.000Didn't know that verified people hoax was a hoax.
00:30:47.000He legit thought Trump actually called Nazis verified people.
00:30:51.000And we ended up talking about how every demographic is pro-Trump except for 70-plus, every age demographic.
00:30:57.000And so it's an interesting phenomenon then when you take a look at what the left is trying to latch onto when every demographic is – except for I think 40 is a tie.
00:31:08.000And then ever the demographic is pro-Trump.
00:31:10.000So if the younger generations are pro-Trump, what are these liberal podcasters hoping to latch on to?
00:31:15.000There's no market for what they're proposing except for the boomers who – like the older boomers because boomers are 60 plus.
00:31:23.000But the 70 plus crowd is within 10 years passing on.
00:31:28.000So what will be left of the liberal movement?
00:31:44.000That's an interesting thing that you brought up, Phil, because Phil was talking about how people being shown videos after they've seen the initial clip.
00:31:51.000You see the 11-second clip that's been shown to make it look like, oh, they were just arrested for no reason, right?
00:31:59.000And then when you show them evidence to the contrary, they almost kind of rebuke.
00:32:03.000They don't want to actually believe it.
00:32:05.000And I feel like that's maybe that's just a difference between now and back in 2016 or closer to 2020.
00:32:11.000Like when I started seeing evidence of just how badly clips were being manipulated by the media, where clips were being edited to prevent you from getting the full context of something, that enraged me.
00:32:24.000It didn't make me want to push back and not believe it.
00:32:26.000It made me angry to believe that I was being lied to about something like that.
00:32:30.000But now it's like there's almost too much ego around when you get your information, you want to believe that you're a good person.
00:32:52.000But I mean, that doesn't make it any less true for the situation.
00:32:54.000And if a lot of people aren't changing their opinions because they're scared of being seen as having gotten gotten by somebody else, then they're not going to want to admit it.
00:34:45.000And so then she's like, I'll show you how to do it.
00:34:47.000Say a line and then I'll holler and bang the cowbell and you're telling them to laugh.
00:34:51.000That's what liberals get from their news.
00:34:53.000So they laugh at John Oliver because he tells them when to laugh.
00:34:56.000Did you see, okay, during COVID, Bill Maher did a whole episode where he didn't have a live audience, and when you don't have the audience laughing with you, it just falls all flat.
00:37:44.000Those old laws don't make sense anymore.
00:37:46.000So clearly, and this is, I guess, anarchist philosophy, the only laws that matter are the ones that get enforced by those who have the power to enforce them, which means the Democrats can, will, and already have violated the rights of many innocent Americans and the president himself.
00:38:02.000If Trump doesn't bring a commensurate force to that political force, we will all be crushed.
00:38:09.000But we know what they're doing was unconstitutional and shattered decorum.
00:38:13.000So we ask of Donald Trump then, go and arrest these people who are destroying the country, and all that will lead to is civil war.
00:38:20.000Well, I think this was an oversight from our founding fathers.
00:39:36.000Congress people don't want to be held accountable for any of their votes, so they've done everything they can to shuffle off power and authority to the executive branch, which is part of the reason why the bureaucracy is as big as it is.
00:39:46.000They've shuffled off war-making authority to the president, which was demonstrated with the whole authorization to use military force.
00:39:55.000The reason they don't do anything is because we've allowed them to not do anything.
00:40:02.000And to be honest with you, Authority that the executive and the bureaucracy has is far beyond anything the founders ever intended.
00:40:11.000And the fact of the matter is the government...
00:40:15.000Isn't supposed to be as involved in our day-to-day lives as they are.
00:40:19.000The federal government has no place, whether it be Congress or the bureaucracy, has no place deciding how much water can go through a faucet.
00:40:32.000It has no business making these kinds of decisions.
00:40:36.000A big part of the problem is that the American people have allowed that to get there because we're not paying attention to what Congress does and because we're not paying attention to how Congress has given power to the president and to the bureaucracy.
00:40:48.000It's like we were talking earlier this week about Trump putting tariffs on Hollywood and how putting tariffs on Hollywood is because Hollywood wants tax subsidies.
00:40:57.000I'm like, no, I don't want a single federal tax dollar going to the absolute evil propagandists that are making all of the material that make you look bad in the first place.
00:41:07.000If a state wants to do that, if California wants to do it because it bolsters their economy locally, that's fine.
00:41:13.000They can vote on it in local elections.
00:41:20.000Well, yeah, because it's classified as a service, not a good.
00:41:23.000Right, and it's digital and online, and it's like, I can understand if you're going to put penalties in.
00:41:29.000But what if a movie's about Africa and it's like...
00:41:32.000Well, it's about movies being filmed in foreign lands.
00:41:35.000Right, so what if a movie's about Africa and we go to Africa and film the movie?
00:41:39.000Well, they do the same thing when they put new rules in place as to who could win Oscars and there had to be racial breakdowns for characters.
00:41:45.000Like, well, what if it's a movie that took place in Italy or in Ireland?
00:42:28.000But that's to what Phil is saying, is that the government is too expansive and too involved in way too much of our lives these days.
00:42:34.000What do you guys think about, you know, part of what Trump's trying to do is inspire more patriotism and get more American values in there.
00:42:40.000What if they had some pro-America movie grants where it's going back to the founding fathers and it's got to have pro-America.
00:43:24.000But empowering the government to then give money and spend our tax dollars to promote a message, yeah, I don't want some weird DEI guy to get in there and then get a hold of that institution and turn it against us.
00:43:35.000What we need to do is we need to build an independent, private – I say it all the time.
00:44:56.000But if you want to make those movies, you can.
00:45:00.000The thing is, you have to get audiences to come out for that.
00:45:03.000They came out for Sound of Freedom, right?
00:45:05.000The audiences showed up for that because it resonated with conservative audiences because the discussion about child trafficking and things like that was very, very important.
00:45:14.000Plus, at that time, it was being kind of...
00:45:17.000Like, Streisand effect by the media's weird dislike for the movie.
00:45:21.000And everyone's like, what do you have a problem with a movie that criticizes human trafficking?
00:45:25.000I want to say this of Captain America.
00:45:27.000I liked Winter Soldier, but I do want to point this out.
00:45:31.000When you don't come out politically like the left does, the left comes out and demands woke stuff.
00:45:39.000Captain America, scrawny guy, lies during the military, does.
00:45:44.000The next movie, do you know what Winter Soldier is about?
00:45:48.000The government has actually been infiltrated by the Nazis and is the bad guy now.
00:45:52.000Well, I mean, a lot of it is a lot to do with Nick Fury and his peace through strength model that Cap disagrees with.
00:46:02.000But the premise of the film is that the Nazis infiltrated the U.S. government's military apparatus and Captain America, to be a good soldier who believes in his country, has to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D., which is akin to our, you know...
00:46:20.000That's how they ruined Indiana Jones, right?
00:46:22.000Like, Indiana Jones, well, at least, you know, the first and the third, they had pro-Christian themes, and then the fourth one comes along, and it's just like, oh, no, it wasn't God.
00:48:13.000They did that in Scream 4, when they have the hulking-sized person playing Ghostface, and then it's a girl, and she's suddenly three feet shorter than...
00:48:20.000So then, with Thunderbolts, this new gender-swapped Taskmaster gets shot in the head within a minute.
00:50:21.000I posted, like, I just want to see season two of High Potential.
00:50:24.000It's this very, very basic, like, network television procedural that I really, really like, starring Caitlin Olsen from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
00:50:51.000If somebody's trying to describe Woke to you, you show them the scene from My Lady Jane, which is a black disabled king of England in the 1700s.
00:50:59.000And that's pretty much the ballpark definition.
00:51:33.000They pretend to be outraged by things.
00:51:35.000This is the thing I see with liberals.
00:51:37.000They're like, Donald Trump is an authoritarian.
00:51:40.000And my question is, okay, assuming that's true, is that distinct from literally any other administration?
00:51:48.000Well, this is just that the news didn't report anything negative about a candidate they like, so they just don't know about whatever potential authoritarian...
00:52:21.000No, like the whole history of the US government is arming the people that end up trying and killing us.
00:52:27.000Timber Sycamore was a classified weapons supply and training program run by the CIA and supported by the UK and some Arab intelligence services, including Saudis.
00:52:35.000The aim was to remove Bashar al-Assad and supplied weaponry and training to Syrian opposition in the Syrian civil war.
00:52:45.000In July 2017, U.S. officials stated that timber sycamore would be phased out with funds possibly redirected to fighting the Islamic State.
00:52:52.000The issue was the anti-Assad groups that ultimately rose up was ISIS.
00:53:01.000There's part of me that thinks that it wasn't such a great idea to support.
00:53:10.000And again, like, it's something like this.
00:53:12.000How heavily was this reported on by the mainstream press?
00:53:15.000And the reason why people have such rose-tinted glasses for that time period is you were still getting your information filtered through legacy media sources that were probably being told by their counterparts in the intel agencies to what to report on, what not to report on.
00:53:33.000I imagine it's a feeling of safety where they feel like the world was safer back before 2016.
00:53:40.000But as much as that coincides with Donald Trump's initial election, it also coincides to heavy use of the Internet on your phone and ease of access to information and the democratization of how we get our news, which is a very, very different thing now.
00:53:55.000I'm just reading about Tim Brissett and Ward's funny.
00:53:58.000Obama, yes, Obama indirectly contributed to the arming of ISIS support for Syrian rebels under Obama.
00:54:17.000So Fast and the Furious, it's all the same thing.
00:54:20.000There was a post yesterday about how Bill Gates said that defunding USAID is killing the world's poorest children.
00:54:29.000And I was like, you mean like Zunzaneo in Cuba where we had the CIA fund building a social media app so that we could influence regime change in Cuba?
00:57:17.000The U.S. and China are looking at what's going on, and it's giving them data as to whether or not they can win a conflict.
00:57:24.000If the U.S. or China is thinking, you know, in the intel, like, hey, we don't know if our fighter jets are going to handle the Chinese advanced jets we've never encountered in combat.
00:59:20.000They both have a lot of Chinese fighters.
00:59:23.000I don't know what kind of results you're going to see.
00:59:27.000Because it also, it does depend on tactics and the pilots themselves.
00:59:31.000If you're not actually getting air, like getting time in the simulators and in the air, it doesn't matter.
00:59:39.000Well, I can't say that it doesn't matter, but the skill of the pilots does matter, you know, because they don't have the most advanced technology.
00:59:47.000Like, I assume the F-22 does a lot for the pilot.
00:59:51.000And especially the ability to shoot missiles at targets that you can't see with your eyes and stuff.
00:59:57.000You can AWACS up there with a couple F-15s.
01:00:00.000They can see stuff that's beyond the horizon.
01:00:03.000You can shoot a missile from 100 miles away or something.
01:00:27.000Look, a nuclear war, nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan would be bad for the whole world because even the small nuclear bombs that they have are devastating.
01:00:44.000It only lowers the threshold necessary for another country to use a nuclear weapon.
01:00:50.000Right now, it's only the U.S. that's ever used them.
01:00:53.000It was in World War II and everyone's like, whoa.
01:00:56.000And now we saw what could happen with thermonuclear weapons because Fat Man and Little Boy were just atomic bombs and they annihilated cities.
01:01:09.000Thousands of times stronger, and they're far more frightening.
01:01:14.000And thankfully, nobody has decided that they want to use one in conflict.
01:01:18.000But that's not to say that if there are nations that start using them, that other nations won't respond.
01:01:27.000So if Pakistan were to nuke New Delhi directly, I mean, this is the strength of their strongest bomb.
01:01:34.000It's bad, but they'd have to fire like...
01:01:39.00015 to actually, or more, to cause serious damage to the, and don't get me wrong, it's going to kill a ridiculous amount of people, but 45 kilotons.
01:03:33.000If they launched a battlefield artillery, 40 kilotons or whatever, and just wiped out a bunch of Ukrainian troops, not a single nation would retaliate with it.
01:03:42.000Well, that's on the same lines where people think if the U.S. were to strike Iran that the entire Middle East would erupt into a war where everybody's trying to kill each other.
01:03:51.000And people are more measured than that.
01:03:54.000Countries are more measured than that.
01:03:56.000Countries are more measured than that.
01:03:58.000And if one state were to use nuclear weapons, that doesn't mean a full nuclear exchange of, you know, the United States and Russia using all of their, you know, globally, mutually assured destruction policy, you know.
01:09:35.000And that, of course, is the supreme law of the land.
01:09:38.000That the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion.
01:09:43.000So to say that's an option we're actively looking at.
01:09:46.000Look, a lot of it depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not.
01:09:50.000At the end of the day, Congress passed a body of law known as the Immigration Nationality Act, which stripped Article III courts, that's the judicial branch of jurisdiction over immigration cases.
01:10:02.000So Congress actually passed, it's called jurisdiction stripping legislation.
01:10:05.000It passed a number of laws that say that the Article III courts aren't even allowed to be involved in immigration cases.
01:10:14.000Are you familiar with the term temporary protective status or TPS, right?
01:10:18.000So by statute, the courts are stripped of jurisdiction from overruling a presidential determination or a secretarial determination.
01:10:29.000On TPS, when the Secretary of Homeland Security makes that determination.
01:10:32.000So when Secretary Noem terminated TPS for the illegals that Biden flew into the country, when courts stepped in, they were violating explicit language that Congress had enacted, saying they have no jurisdiction.
01:10:43.000So it's not just the courts aren't just at war with the executive branch.
01:10:47.000The courts are at war, these radical rogue judges, with the legislative branch as well, too.
01:10:51.000So all of that will inform the choices the president ultimately makes, yes.
01:12:02.000Remember when they claimed that he was making a white supremacist hand gesture because he was straightening his jacket and he was like this?
01:13:15.000Just a guy was like, and he wasn't a white guy, if I remember correctly, like threw out his window a cigarette or something and his hand was making an OK sign and he lost his job.
01:13:29.000It was back during Trump's first term, I think.
01:13:32.000The entire society basically lost their mind for a few years there.
01:16:04.000I understand that, but it's not about that.
01:16:07.000The point I'm bringing up is you have entire neighborhoods aiding and abetting illegal immigration for which the prescribed law is that is a crime.
01:17:23.000They arrested the daughter of the woman who was being arrested.
01:17:25.000And they can start arresting people who live there.
01:17:28.000And the end result is going to be civil war.
01:17:31.000And a lot of it is like, for the cases where you're talking about people who are members of MS-13 or gangs, I think that so many Americans have been kind of just hit with endless propaganda about what illegal immigration looks like.
01:17:46.000And while there are the cases of, like you're saying, the family that's been here for 20 years, they're law-abiding, they don't do anything wrong, the people aren't taking the time to wait and see whether that's what's happening.
01:17:57.000So they're going to respond the same to them arresting somebody who could be a member of MS-13 or a gang than they are the woman down the street who hasn't broken any laws while in country.
01:18:12.000I mean if people start attacking ICE, which we're seeing now from Democratic Party members, elected officials, and residential neighborhoods, I'm not saying that this will make a civil war start tomorrow.
01:18:28.000I'm saying that – The left then rallies and says, Trump is sending in federal law enforcement to arrest literal neighbors of people who are trying to save themselves from being disappeared.
01:18:45.000They're going to start saying things like, Trump disappeared a Maryland man.
01:18:48.000Like Hassan Piker genuinely believed he was from Maryland, said, he's from Maryland, what do you mean?
01:18:53.000Dude didn't know, they don't read the news.
01:18:54.000The narrative will then persist that Trump's SS is going around and rounding up random people, and then you're going to get Antifa emboldened, and you're going to get shootings, insurgency, chaos, which in turn will result in Trump, Insurrection Act, arrests, escalation.
01:19:09.000The left will then—what ends up happening with this stuff?
01:22:11.000If the police don't arrest these individuals who are interfering with ICE raids, the left is going to be like, they're going to show the videos to people and say, Trust us.
01:23:39.000And where we are today, it's only gotten crazier.
01:23:44.000I mean, I do agree with you, and I'm right there with you saying I don't see the off-ramp.
01:23:50.000And the point is, like, this is nuts, man.
01:23:52.000And it kind of goes back to what you were saying about how they don't have a platform on the left right now outside of just not Trump.
01:23:59.000Like, if they were politically expedient in trying to work to actually win elections, they could find somebody with a moderate platform to calm people down.
01:24:08.000But the most fervent people in their party are also these who are acting the most rash.
01:24:14.000So there's nobody on that side to be a calm voice, to get everybody together, to get them to coalesce around new ideas.
01:24:23.000They can't because you're not going to convince someone who is a communist to not be a communist.
01:24:29.000What I think people need to understand, and many probably already do, you rarely convert a person.
01:24:37.000Most people who hold an ideological view had that since they were young.
01:24:41.000And so what's happened with the left is that you have all these different factions of Democrat, liberal, and you can see this in like the Pew Research data how there's a spike in the left, but then there's like, there's a wide range.
01:24:55.000A moderate lib is not going to agree with a communist.
01:24:58.000They'll vote together probably though.
01:25:00.000So you're not going to be able to get a politician who's going to be able to effectively communicate to communists and to moderate libs.
01:25:07.000So there's not going to be a coalescing around any ideas other than Trump bad.
01:25:11.000The only thing they share, all factions, is we hate the right.
01:25:16.000Well, I don't see, like I said before, I don't see the off-ramp.
01:25:22.000I don't know that it's something that is going to turn into a problem this particular year because it is an off-election year.
01:25:33.000Election years tend to be the ones that are the most spicy, but I also don't...
01:25:38.000I don't know what's going to happen in the next six months.
01:25:40.000Well, is there also, is there an off-ramp in just the fact that so much of it is, I mean, we're talking about ICE, we're talking about stuff like that, but it's a lot of coalescing around the hate for Trump, but he's not up for re-election in the next term.
01:27:02.000And the left has been using the tactics of call your opponents Nazis, call them fascists.
01:27:08.000They've been saying that they've been that has been a tactic on the left for so long.
01:27:12.000And just now it's been they've been able to spread it in a way that they would never were before because of the Internet.
01:27:18.000Yeah, but Trump's, like, the hatred of Trump goes beyond just the people who were calling Bush a Nazi back in 2004.
01:27:25.000Your aunt, who never cared about politics, suddenly has strong opinions on this one specific politician, and it's fractured a lot of relationships.
01:27:33.000I think that's a symptom of the internet.
01:27:36.000And the way that the left has influenced the media and stuff, the left took—it used to be the right, the Christians and the right were the culturally dominant force in the United States.
01:27:54.000Once Christianity kind of started to fall out of favor with the normies, and you saw it with the numbers of people going to church and calling themselves devout Christians, Once that happened, it was really replaced by this amorphous, just be good to everybody.
01:34:52.000See, you embarrass me because I'm a Quad Cities guy.
01:34:55.000I'm from the western part of Illinois, and I always thought I knew a lot about Chicago, but every time I come on with you, I learn something.
01:35:01.000You educated me about real Chicago pizza.
01:40:04.000This is, you know, James Lindsay's become so pathetic and desperate that he's destroyed what brand he had because I think he's trying desperately to get back in with the left.
01:40:18.000So what he's done is he started attacking Anyone on the right as woke right, which makes literally no sense because Dave Smith and Candace Owens don't align on anything.
01:40:27.000Or that's not fair, but they largely are completely different worldviews.
01:40:31.000The only thing overlapping is criticism of Israel, but Dave Smith's Jewish himself.
01:40:36.000So it's like this weird thing that James Lindsay's done.
01:40:39.000There was a tweet, which I think why Dr. Doctor is super chatting, but it's...
01:40:48.000If those aren't familiar, James Lindsay was at one point a prominent liberal personality calling out woke stuff, but now he's literally just woke.
01:41:44.000James Lindsay is arguing then, and this is where I'm saying, like, this dude has fallen off and become desperate and is literally doing what people do.
01:42:21.000So my point is, I saw that, and it's another grain of sand in the heap.
01:42:25.000And I think also Seth Dillon from the Babylon Bee and many others are trying to push this narrative of a woke right, which literally does not make sense.
01:43:50.000But they will rationalize it in any means possible to adhere to their cult.
01:43:54.000James Lindsay attacking the right of various different political right-wing factions, not even necessarily right-wing necessarily, like a libertarian, makes no sense.
01:44:04.000Except for he's trying to be on the outs with the Trump MAGA coalition so that he can eventually find his way back into doing podcasts with leftists and liberals because he's scared Trump will lose and he wants to have a good job.
01:44:17.000Well, look, I would say that I've read a lot of these forums on Woke Right, and I think at the heart of it, these are people that believe that all of our laws should not make...
01:44:51.000James Lindsay basically made incoherent statements that he claimed were coherent and he's got followers who think he's telling the truth and he's not.
01:45:20.000What the liberal institutions were doing.
01:45:22.000The universities was labeling everybody outside of their Overton window, including libertarians, alt-right.
01:45:30.000Then, after they created the phrase alt-right, they morphed it into white nationalist.
01:45:36.000The strategy was, and there was a dude I knew, not a political leader, he was a comedian.
01:45:41.000And when they started the alt-right smears, labeling anybody alt-right, this dude saw some libertarian guy, probably Dave Smith, and he thought, Well, I agree with libertarians, so I must be alt-right too.
01:45:54.000And then I remember one day he said, I was talking to him, and he's a comedian.
01:45:58.000And then I was like, well, where do you fall on the political spectrum?
01:46:06.000Just like, you know, like libertarian, Ron Paul.
01:46:08.000And I said, you see what the media did.
01:46:12.000Now James Lindsay is doing that because he's a scumbag.
01:46:15.000He is trying to create a term to attach it to various different groups of people.
01:46:19.000Once they do, they're then, the press is going to take it, like you said, they're going to start using woke right, redefining it so that anybody who's ever been labeled that will fall under a different umbrella.
01:46:31.000Likely going to be anti-Semite, white nationalist.
01:46:34.000This is the same playbook they used before.
01:46:38.000He claims he sacrificed his tribe, but what actually happened is he became irrelevant, and when The problem is his body of work is no longer relevant.
01:49:36.000Because now they're going to use everything you've done against you to make sure you never see your kids or make it as hard as possible for you to.
01:49:41.000But when all this first started, he could have done one thing.
01:50:53.000And he then starts, like, I think the reason to do the song.
01:50:57.000Is in his mind, he's like, I'm going to get revenge on you by attacking you in a way that makes you angry and frustrated.
01:51:03.000So I think he did this song and he's saying these things because he wants to attack the Jews because he blames them for why he lost his family and his contracts and all of this stuff.
01:51:13.000When in fact it was guys who happened to be Jewish, not the Jews as in all of them.
01:55:04.000Like a regular weekly thing where people are like, if I'm in town, I'll come.
01:55:08.000The DC Metro has more than enough people to come and join us.
01:55:11.000And then if you get touring comedians and other personalities who are coming in town that time, I think this could very well be a thing people are like, oh, when I go to DC, I want to make sure I check out Culture War.
01:58:08.000In the speech, when they talk about the differences as they're launching the ships and he's talking about the cost of controlling a populace through fear.
01:58:19.000As opposed to actual freedom, I thought that was the...
01:58:57.000There was a man that was killed, a young man that was killed by a police officer, and then the man's father went and killed another police officer who was not in the same...
01:59:10.000No, no, no, I know that, but that's not what they said.
02:01:29.000They sidelined all the original characters and did an entirely different story that was predicated upon a TV show that people didn't watch.
02:01:37.000When I was watching, I'm like, why is Scarlet Witch evil?
02:02:19.000I mean, but what they did was, like, it was based on, like, the crossovers that they used to do in the comics, like Secret Wars and stuff like that.
02:02:27.000For me, I thought that it was cool when they did it with the Avengers.
02:02:31.000It did get too big when they were like, oh, you've got to watch our television show and you've got to watch this episode.
02:02:36.000Infinity War was based on a comic run, although vastly changed, still was all done before they started implementing all the Disney Plus shows that turned it into homework.
02:03:13.000It's because everybody remembers the scene when Captain America has Thanos by the gauntlet and it's taking every bit of his strength to keep him from finishing him off and that scene closed the trailer and that's great storytelling.
