The Justice Department arrested Don Lemon today and he pled not guilty. A woman in Kansas City decided to set a warehouse on fire because she thought it was going to be an ICE detainment facility. The top prosecutor for Matthews County in Virginia was found dead in her driveway. And a man in Oregon was indicted on terrorism charges over a plot to behead ICE agents in Portland.
00:01:32.000The Justice Department arrested Don Lemon today.
00:01:34.000He was in court and he has pled not guilty.
00:01:36.000Nobody's really particularly surprised about that, but it is worth noting that the Justice Department has his cell phone and they've got a warrant to go through it.
00:01:45.000We're going to talk about a woman in South Kansas City who decided that she was going to set a warehouse on fire because she thought that it was going to be a new ICE detainment facility.

00:06:47.000From NBC News, Don Lemon pleads not guilty to Minnesota church protest charges.
00:06:52.000The former CNN anchor was inside a church on January 18th when protesters disrupted a service.
00:06:58.000A pastor there, demonstrators alleged, worked for ICE, as if that justifies it, right?
00:07:03.000From St. Paul, Minnesota, journalist and former CNN anchor Don Lemon pleaded not guilty on Friday to charges connected to his coverage of protests over federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota.
00:07:13.000I mean, I love the fact that right off the bat, they're taking his side, right?
00:07:16.000Like they're not saying that he was a participant.
00:07:19.000They're saying that he was covering it.
00:07:20.000So they're poisoning the well right off the bat.
00:07:24.000During the brief, highly procedural hearing, Magistrate Judge Douglas L. Mikko reminded Lemon of his constitutional rights and asked if he understood the charges against him.
00:07:33.000Lemon answered in the affirmative before the judge said he was free to travel unless he were to violate any state or federal laws.
00:07:39.000A prosecutor also revealed on Friday that authorities seized Lemon's phone during the arrest and have obtained a warrant so they can look into it.
00:07:48.000Now, that I think is the actual interesting part.
00:07:51.000Considering Lemon was, I mean, like I said earlier, he was, you know, if you, if you watch the videos, he was very much a participant, right?
00:07:59.000So, so you, he's going to use, obviously, he's using the defense that, you know, it's the First Amendment right to cover this stuff, et cetera.
00:08:06.000But he showed up with coffee for all the people that were the protesters.
00:08:10.000You know, he was saying we, he continued to use the collective and thank things.
00:08:42.000There's a video going around where there's a bunch of women, like fat liberal women outside of his, where he's being, you know, where whatever's happening in Minnesota, where he's there.
00:08:55.000And it's just fat liberal woman waving around dildos.
00:08:59.000I know this is a family-friendly show, but I kid you not.
00:09:21.000I think technically anyone that says that they're press nowadays kind of can be press, particularly when you're not going into a place where you have to get authorization from officials or what have you.
00:09:32.000And they certainly weren't looking for authorization from the church.
00:09:35.000They just stormed in and interrupted the service.
00:09:37.000And I mean, from what it looked like on the videos that I saw, they were intimidating parishioners, trying to scare people.
00:09:43.000Don Lemon made comments afterwards about how he saw that people were intimidated and that was basically a good thing, or at least that's what he was alluding to.
00:09:52.000I think he just had a crush on the pastor, dude.
00:10:09.000That's why, by the way, I believe that church was targeted in particular because they not that that makes it right, but that's the reason why they targeted that church.
00:10:18.000But I think it's such a bastardization of the First Amendment.
00:10:21.000I think if the founders saw that the First Amendment was being used to justify a bunch of ICE protesters storming into a church and disrupting a church service, I think they'd be very, very disappointed.
00:10:33.000I can't speak for them, of course, but I think they are rolling in their graves because it is such a bastardization of what the First Amendment was there for.
00:10:40.000And it's like the gall of these people to say, oh, it's your First Amendment right to go in and storm a church while they're having a church service.
00:10:51.000Well, not only that, just storming in and interrupting, that violates the First Amendment rights of all the people that are in the church.
00:10:56.000Like people are forgetting about the fact that the protection of religious services or your right to express yourself or to practice your religion, that's in the First Amendment as well.
00:11:07.000So that your desire to cover the protest or your right to protest does not trump your right to express yourself in your religious life.
00:11:21.000First Amendment protects your right to peaceful assembly.
00:11:23.000So if you trespass and scare people with a loud, raucous aggression, that's not really peaceful.
00:11:29.000So the idea is you're out on the street, you're not blocking activity and you're not scaring people.
00:11:35.000Well, look, as a kid that grew up going to church multiple times a week, I would have loved if some protesters stormed in during one of my church services just to mix things up a little bit, dude.
00:11:55.000These churches, they're not a public place, so I don't think most reasonable people would think they're fair game for like First Amendment protests.
00:12:02.000But as far as the Don Lemon stuff goes, I don't know if it rises to the, you know, the occasion of like collaboration or whatnot.
00:12:10.000I think what I saw was that he recorded them, knew about it ahead of time, which many journalists are tipped off ahead of time when protesters do stuff like this, both on the right and the left.
00:12:19.000And then the bringing the coffee thing.
00:12:21.000I don't know if that like rises to the occasion of collaboration.
00:12:25.000I still think Don Lemon's a piece of shit, and I still think he engaged in some harassment.
00:12:29.000And I think his goal was still to encourage the people there, but I think it's like a dangerous standard to try to achieve.
00:12:33.000I'm still old enough to remember when me and other reporters were covering the January 6th riot and inside the Capitol.
00:12:39.000And Elisha Schaefer in particular, I remember, I believe he was in Nancy Pelosi's office, even, but he wasn't charged with anything.
00:13:05.000I think the process is the punishment.
00:13:06.000This is something Trump himself went through.
00:13:08.000So when he's throwing it back in the faces of these people, I don't think he really gives a shit.
00:13:11.000What would you say to people that say things like, well, you know, the law that he's being charged under protects people that are going to abortion clinics as well as people that are expressing, you know, going to a religious service or whatever.
00:13:23.000And there have been a bunch of times where people have been arrested or the cops have said to people that are protesting abortion, move along, et cetera.
00:13:32.000If you get arrested for praying outside of an abortion clinic, I can't see how this wouldn't rise to the same level of offense if he's going into the church, right?
00:13:41.000So if you're outside of an abortion clinic praying silently, right?
00:13:44.000Or talking to people, you say, oh, hey, do you really want to do this?
00:13:48.000Are you sure you want to have an abortion?
00:13:50.000If someone's going to do that and they're going to get arrested for that behavior, then I think that Don Lemon going into the church, I think that all the people that went into the church, I think that rises to the same level of intimidation.
00:14:00.000I think the protest leader that led the people into the church is being charged.
00:14:04.000Also, I don't think people are pro-lifers.
00:14:07.000Kingman, maybe you could fact-check me on this one.
00:14:09.000So far as the people outside of the abortion clinics, they don't get arrested, but I do think there was a group of people who went inside these abortion clinics, refused to leave.
00:14:18.000The president eventually ended up pardoning them.
00:14:20.000That doesn't justify the stuff that goes on in the church.
00:14:23.000And the protesters who went into the church are being charged.
00:14:25.000But for example, do you think the pro-life activist media person who goes into the clinic with the protesters should also be arrested if they're just filming it, even if they do have an affinity for the pro-life groups?
00:14:37.000Well, I don't think they should be arrested at all because I think they're saving babies.
00:14:59.000I think it is a modern-day genocide that many people look over just because the babies are small.
00:15:05.000But I do think that there are, there have been cases of grandmas who are literally just praying peacefully outside of abortion clinics and they were arrested by the Biden administration.
00:15:16.000And so it wasn't just only like super aggressive anti-abortion activists who go into the abortion clinics.
00:15:22.000Like it's literally grandmas who are praying outside, of course, vocally, and they got arrested by the Biden administration.
00:15:29.000Yeah, but what else were those grandmas doing?
00:15:31.000You know, those grandmas can be real problematic sometimes.
00:15:35.000I believe there was someone who said a pastor who went into Grock says that there have been people.
00:15:39.000Yes, people have been arrested while positioned outside or near abortion clinics in the United States.
00:15:44.000These arrests are not for peacefully standing or praying silently without any additional action.
00:15:49.000Arrests typically stem from specific violations, physically blocking, trespassing on private property, which Don Lemon definitely did, disorderly conduct, which that is what Don Lemon has done, resisting arrest during protests, interfering with business operations.
00:16:02.000So essentially, it boils down to there have been people that have been arrested when it comes to abortion under the same law.
00:16:09.000And so if so, because of that, I would say that what Don Lemon engaged in absolutely rises to the same level.
00:16:19.000And it's like, I don't know how you wouldn't make the claim that he wasn't collaborating.
00:16:25.000I don't think you can make the claim he wasn't collaborating with them when he literally got them coffee and he was saying, we, we did this.
00:16:32.000Hey, good job to them and congratulating them.
00:16:37.000And the fact that, I mean, I just, I'm sure you guys have seen the pictures of like the children crying and scared.
00:16:43.000And there's tons of stories that come out from the people who are actually there of, you know, these ICE protesters getting really violent, really in the faces of children, telling, like saying obscenities in their face, not letting them go anywhere.
00:16:57.000Let's say I was the journalist who was tipped off about this event and decided to, I didn't bring coffee and I didn't say we while being there, but I then otherwise recorded everything going on.
00:17:07.000Should I be indicted for anything if that were the case?
00:17:09.000If you were literally a bystander just recording, right, as a journalist.
00:17:14.000Well, I would be, I would be, no, I would be trespassing, right?
00:17:17.000Because I wouldn't have been welcome there.
00:17:18.000And probably, yeah, so at the very minimum, breaking the law of trespassing.
00:17:22.000Well, I do think, and well, intent matters too.
00:17:24.000And also, that's proven in a court of law.
00:17:26.000But if you're just there to document what was going on, then yes, it's fine because it's just journalism.
00:17:33.000But clearly, Don Lemon had an agenda, I feel like.
00:17:36.000And it's just clear by all available evidence that he was proud to be there and he was happy to be there and he was happy to collaborate with these violent protesters and these agitators who went in and disrupted church service.
00:17:51.000I mean, I understand your point a lot, but I think that the real facts on the ground, the fact that the government has prosecuted people for the FACE Act, which that's the particular law that was broken, for things like inhibiting, trespassing, et cetera, that standard has already been set.
00:18:10.000And so when the FACE Act was passed, the inclusion of religious services and stuff, that was like a gimme to get Republicans to sign on, right?
00:18:22.000Like really, they were focusing on abortion clinics.
00:18:26.000They were worried about conservatives and pro-life people protesting or talking to people as they go in and being, and again, do you really want to do this, et cetera?
00:18:35.000And so they threw it in there to give a bone to conservatives because nobody protests churches, you know, unless it was, unless it was, you know, I can't, unless it was like Scientology, I think they get protests sometimes.
00:18:46.000But otherwise, like for the most part, religious services were fairly benign and most people didn't, you know, didn't think it would ever come to anything.
00:18:54.000And so I think that because of the history with the FACE Act, I think that precedent has been set.
00:18:59.000And now I think it's incumbent on the Justice Department to actually follow through and prosecute these people.
00:19:04.000And I think Don Lemon is actually, you know, one of the people that made this a national story.
00:19:10.000If he received the footage, like if these protesters had strapped on GoPros, they trespassed, they scared, they did whatever, and then they sent the footage to Don Lemon and he's like, oh, I'm going to report on this.
00:19:21.000But if you've been part, it's like a bank robbery.
00:19:23.000If you, as the reporter, participate with the robbers to go commit the crime and you're there with them inside the bank recording them, you've stepped over a line.
00:19:35.000But if you're tipped off to potential criminal activity going on in the future, so these protesters will often tip off journalists to come cover their events.
00:20:21.000And like the fact that the thing he does immediately as he goes in isn't to document what's going on, ask the protesters why are they protesting.
00:20:39.000And if he goes, the fact that he went straight to the pastor means that he was in communication with these protesters because they ostensibly went there because the protester was allegedly working with ICE.
00:20:50.000Even if this guy wasn't the guy, if there was a different pastor that was working with ICE, Don Lemon went to the pastor because he knew that they were going there because someone was working with ICE.
00:21:00.000Don Lemon literally went with these protesters to agitate this pastor or a pastor who works at this church to find out who is this pastor who loves ICE, works with ICE, et cetera.
00:21:11.000And so I think it is very clear that he went with clear intent.
00:21:14.000Yeah, and that's not even bringing up Don Lemon's personal politics, which are, of course, very, very progressive and very leftist.
00:21:21.000This is all stuff that we're talking about, just the facts on the ground, never mind being like mentioning the fact that it's likely that he didn't agree with the religious people and he agreed with the protesters.
00:21:32.000Like that's something that may come up, particularly because, again, they have his phone, they have a warrant, they're going to look into it.
00:21:38.000And so if he was communicating with them and he knew about, you know, knew to the extent that the protest was going to be, then again, this only adds to Don Lemon's problems.
00:21:49.000Despite whatever fine details that we're going through, I don't think the DOJ will end up charging him.
00:21:55.000And bigger picture here, I think this is probably the best case scenario for Don Lemon because he is a hero among his peers now.
00:22:02.000I'm fighting back against the Donald Trump DOJ amongst all his gay friends in Fire Island now.
00:22:06.000Do you know who's fighting back against the homophobe fascists in the White House?
00:22:09.000It's me and they're coming after me and I'm a gay icon now.
00:22:12.000That same thing can be said about people that go to protest abortion clinics.
00:22:16.000You don't think that they're surrounded, start from that from the beginning.
00:22:19.000But the same thing could be said for people that protest against abortion clinics.
00:22:22.000You think if someone goes to an abortion clinic and they're arrested, you don't think that they can be like, look, man, much of my religious people.
00:22:28.000Because there's a couple of priests, Kingman, maybe you know their name specifically because it's escaping me, but it was these famous pro-life priests who would go around to these abortion clinics, go inside, end up getting arrested.
00:22:38.000And it was because they repeatedly did that.
00:22:43.000But even you, a pro-life advocate, I suspect you don't even know the name of these guys.
00:22:46.000I think we don't rally around the pro-life flag on the right as many on the left will rally around the anti-ICE messaging.
00:22:55.000And that's why I think he's becoming more of a hero.
00:22:57.000People on the right, people in our country don't really care about pro-life issues, and therefore they're less sympathetic to those breaking the law to bring attention to that issue, as opposed to ICE and immigration.
00:23:06.000People think they're totally justified in obstructing both ICE officers and even churches, church services, so long as it justifies and makes them feel good about the cause that they're fighting for.
00:23:17.000I think that because the left is more vocal about this kind of stuff, particularly now because Donald Trump's in office, Roe versus Wade was recently overturned.
00:23:29.000I think that because Donald Trump is in office now, the focus on immigration and stuff like that, that's a big deal.
00:23:35.000But I think that there are probably conservative people tend to be just that, a little more conservative.
00:23:39.000And I think that people that are pro-life, whereas they won't go and be so boisterous about it, I think that they still will be like, well, that was a good thing for him to do.
00:23:46.000And if you're talking about optics, but Lemon's going to experience the Jimmy Kimmel effect on this.
00:24:03.000He's a martyr for the cause at this point.
00:24:04.000Is it consistent with Jimmy Kimmel, though?
00:24:06.000Because I know that when he came back, he had a big pop because he came back, but I don't think that his show had a resurgence or anything to do.
00:24:14.000He did have Don Lemon on, I think, right?
00:24:15.000Didn't he interview Don Lemon or something like that?
00:24:30.000But I think there is where, as yes, I don't want to make Don Lemon this martyr for this progressive cause and he's fighting against the fascists and the evil Donald Trump.
00:24:41.000I do think that it is also incumbent on the Trump administration and the Trump DOJ to set a precedent to tell leftists and progressives, hey, we're not going to tolerate this.
00:24:53.000And the more that we acquiesce enforcing the law that is in place and punishing people who agitate and hurt people or firebomb buildings and things like that, the more that we acquiesce and say, okay, we're going to stick to decorum.
00:25:10.000We don't want to, you know, if we do it, like imagine if they'll do it against us.
00:25:14.000Like, I just don't think we're in a place in America anymore where we can kind of stick to those utopian ideals and this vague abstractions of principles when they are literally killing us and they're shooting us and they're celebrating it and they're bombing us and it's like, and nothing happens because, oh no, it's fascism to arrest these people.
00:25:35.000And so I think it is really incumbent on the Trump administration to say, no, we're going to have an end to this and all your leftist antics, your violent agitations and all these things, we're not going to tolerate anymore.
00:25:47.000And we need more of that like heavy hand for like Trump to rule with the iron fist.
00:25:51.000They'll call him a fascist no matter what.
00:25:53.000No matter what he does, he's going to be a Nazi.
00:25:56.000So if they're going to call you that no matter what, the progressives are going to call you that no matter what.
00:26:03.000It is incumbent on Trump, I believe, and the DOJ to go and enact justice to protect those who are truly most vulnerable.
00:26:11.000Does it matter if they fail to convict and are only able to indict these people?
00:26:19.000Like, what do you mean, like, does it matter?
00:26:20.000Like, like, doesn't like, again, he might not end up being convicted, but if he's indicted, he has to go through and charge.
00:26:26.000He needs to go through the entire process.
00:26:27.000If you're indicted, same again with James Comey, Tish James.
00:26:30.000If you're indicted, you still need to defend yourself, even if you aren't convicted.
00:26:34.000And that process is the punishment in many ways.
00:26:38.000So, you know, I mean, it's not the way the criminal justice system was set up.
00:26:41.000It wasn't meant to be that, you know, we're just indicting somebody and therefore you are guilty.
00:26:45.000You know, you are innocent until proven guilty, but then you still need to hire a lawyer, go through the process, be stressed out about being investigated by the DOJ.
00:26:51.000All your shit's probably being stared at by, you know, intelligence agencies and whatnot.
00:26:56.000But if the indictment's the point and there's no conviction, then what's the point?
00:26:59.000It's like the process is the punishment, right?
00:27:02.000But it's still like political theater at the end of the day.
00:27:04.000And like, I'm just kind of sick of political theater.
00:27:06.000I think that, I think, to your point, Aladdin, if they don't, if they don't, if they fail to get a conviction, I think that people are going to look at the Trump administration as weak.
00:27:13.000I think that guys are already the kind of the right, the base of the right wing.
00:27:17.000They're already upset with the Trump administration.
00:27:19.000They're not doing deportations fast enough.
00:27:21.000Trump's not doing this, not doing that.
00:27:23.000I think that if they fail to get a conviction, it's going to be actually bad for the administration.
00:27:30.000I want to follow up on the SAVE Act and get these specific details here because I think it's really pertinent to what we're talking about.
00:27:35.000So if I could please have 30 seconds to read this off.
00:27:36.000So, a Catholic priest who blocked access to a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic could face up to one year in prison after being found guilty Monday of violating the FACE Act.
00:27:44.000On the morning of July 7th, 2022, Father Fidelis McKinsky, 52, a priest of a Church of Renewal, effectively shut down a Planned Parenthood in Greater New York in the town of Hempstead, according to the DOJ.
00:27:57.000He placed locks and chains on the gated entrance and covered some of them with glue, and that prevented anybody from getting through the gate and then accessing their pre-planned health care.
00:28:08.000Not even all of these were for abortions.
00:28:10.000I believe he was convicted and then eventually pardoned.
00:28:13.000I know you're sympathetic to the pro-life cause.
00:28:16.000Despite that, do you think he should have been charged based on the actions that he took?
00:28:20.000I mean, the reality is we live in a nation, and if we live in a nation with laws, we have to enforce those laws.
00:28:37.000I just also think it wasn't just these guys standing outside.
00:28:39.000They may have been arrested, but the people who were charged outside of these Planned Parenthoods were doing more than just standing around and trying to talk to people who were going in.
00:28:47.000They were gluing and locking these doors shut.
00:28:50.000Well, they were saving babies, but I'm not endorsing it.
00:28:54.000Well, but if you are sympathetic to that cause, then hypothetically, you would say those protests are justified.
00:28:59.000Again, people protest around the country all the time, and their actions, people, I feel like, view them as justified whether or not they're sympathetic to the right.
00:29:07.000But the difference is like we're right and they're wrong.
00:29:10.000So, and I guess that's where why politics is so difficult in this country because we don't operate from the same moral framework, not even like a semblance of a similar moral framework where the left wants to kill babies no matter what.
00:29:22.000The right is this amalgamation of different actions of like pro-choice, but not until birth and pro-life and they're like really anti-abortion and just like different people exist in the right wing.
00:29:35.000But the commonality among the right wing is that they love this country and they love America, whereas the left wants to like burn it all down.
00:29:42.000And so I think that's why it's very difficult to have any sort of political conversation in this country with those who disagree with us for right versus left.
00:29:50.000But also, I think it's very important then for us to understand why it's very, very dangerous for the left to get political power again.
00:29:57.000Because once they wield political power, regardless of whether or not Don Lemon is convicted, they'll use his indictment.
00:30:05.000They'll use this whole process to say, we're going to go after Trump and we're going to go after Trump supporters and conservatives and things like that.
00:30:11.000This is where I don't really agree with a lot of the people on the right who are, you know, the dissident right, who are like, oh, let's just let it all burn.
00:30:18.000Well, no, I don't want to see my fellow Christians and my fellow conservatives and my patriots locked up like they were in January 6th with like hundreds of grandmas in solitary confinement.
00:30:28.000And to your point, like the way that the Democrats are positioning themselves now, if they were to like win and, you know, like the decision right says, though, let it let them win.
00:30:37.000It'll get so bad and then people will wake up and then people will actually want to see something happen, a strong man come in.
00:30:45.000I don't think that that's a good idea because the Democrats are positioning themselves where if they win, they're going to make it impossible for the right to ever win again.
00:30:52.000Like that, whether it be by expanding the court and getting rid of the filibuster and adding states or what have you know, gerrymandering or whatever.
00:31:01.000So there's representation in Congress.
00:31:03.000There's no representation for conservatives in Congress.
00:31:06.000That's the goal of the left is to get a permanent left-leaning majority in Washington, D.C.
00:31:19.000So it's possible to do that for the whole country.
00:31:22.000And then it'll just be like, well, okay, it was cool when we had a chance, but because people decided, oh, well, we're blackpilling and we're mad that Donald Trump isn't doing enough stuff for us, we're just going to let it all burn down.
00:31:35.000And if you let it all burn down, it really is the end for the right.
00:31:39.000There is no coming back from what the Democrats are planning.
00:31:43.000I think unpopular opinion on that is don't even go after Don Lemon.
00:31:46.000Just go after the people who perpetrated this, right?
00:31:50.000Because you're just bringing more attention.
00:31:52.000It's the Barber Streisand effect with Don Lemon at this point.
00:32:40.000But if it can and it chooses not to, there are situations where like what you were just saying, Davey is like, yeah, maybe you don't like fan of flames.
00:32:48.000Maybe, maybe, but the thing is now this is also precedent.
00:32:50.000So if Lemon does this again, he'll get the book thrown at him like 20 years in prison kind of thing because it's already been like, bro, you did it once.
00:33:18.000So, you know, someone can be charged for the same crime if they did another instance of it.
00:33:23.000Like, if you murder someone and you get found not guilty for charges, you're not going to be like, well, we can't charge him for murder anymore because he beat the first person.
00:33:30.000Yeah, but a stern talking to, you know, and then like, hey, if you do it again, seriously, Don.
00:33:47.000A woman was seen trying to set fire to a South Kansas City warehouse on Thursday, the same site that had been proposing as a possible immigration detention center.
00:33:54.000Video from our crew shows the woman igniting window areas at the building and flames briefly flaring up.
00:34:00.000KMBC9 reporter Andy Allock says he witnessed the woman throw what appeared to be a liquid onto the windows before the fire started.
00:34:22.000But if we take a look, you can see there's some windows there along the south part of the building, and there might be some scorch marks.
00:34:30.000You might be able to see that fire did not really catch.
00:34:34.000It did burn for a little while, but it is now out.
00:34:36.000Platform Ventures is the owner of this warehouse.
00:34:39.000Their statement they sent today says in part the sale fell through because closing wasn't done in a timely manner.
00:34:45.000It's a sharp contrast to what we were told a month ago.
00:34:50.000So, you know, I guess that kind of points to the fact that if you want to burn down a building, you probably shouldn't try setting stone on fire.
00:34:58.000You shouldn't send a woman to do a man's job.
00:35:00.000My dad would have that thing up in flames instantly, dude.
00:35:05.000Yeah, I mean, she just didn't know what she was doing.
00:35:06.000Especially seeing that she had an accelerant.
00:35:08.000You know, it's not like she was sitting there with just matches.
00:35:48.000But one of the most screwed up parts about this is that she was actually successful in preventing the sale of the building to the federal government.
00:36:27.000The warehouse has been the focus of protests and public concern after report surface that it could be.
00:36:32.000So maybe during the process, they helped encourage.
00:36:35.000It sounds like during the process of when they were trying to sell it to the government, protests and attacks helped encourage them to not do the sale.
00:36:42.000So in essence, they actually achieved what their main goal was, which is nerve-wracking.
00:36:47.000We got some video of her actually trying to do the oh, wow.
00:39:40.000And then she got herself killed running over an ICE agent.
00:39:43.000And then so all I have to say is, like, woman, I love you, but you just got to stop.
00:39:48.000Pingman, to follow up on that point, I know in our country right now, the political divide among men and women is increasing, but it's not nearly as bad as the political divide between men and women in Korea.
00:40:43.000Like they're not getting married because they essentially have the benefits of traditional marriage, right?
00:40:49.000They spend time together, they're in love, they have sex, all this stuff, but they don't commit to each other because when they commit to each other, there's still this understanding in Korean culture that when you get married, that the woman is the one primarily taking care of the children.
00:41:02.000But, you know, the women don't want to give up their careers.
00:41:04.000And then so because of that, they delay marriage and then they delay childbearing.
00:41:08.000And so they're just not having children.
00:41:10.000And if you look at the stats too, that only 2% of childbirths in South Korea are outside of wedlock.
00:41:17.000Whereas in America, it's like 40 to 50%.
00:41:19.000So this idea of childbearing is still traditional in Korea, where it's like, okay, if we're going to have children, we need to do it within marriage.
00:41:27.000But they don't want to have children because it's going to be an impediment to their career.
00:42:02.000Where, I mean, it is partly economic because the living wages and the wages in general in Korea haven't really caught up to the cost of living.
00:42:12.000So all things considered, it is still pretty cheap to live in Korea, but the wages are really low.
00:43:13.000And then so who would want that in a modern society to have children and then to raise them up in your own home?
00:43:18.000And this is actually something we need to talk about in America too, where the idea of the nuclear family, of course, I believe in the nuclear family, but we need to understand that it does take a village to raise a kid, where asking a woman to just be alone with children all day by herself with the children with no help from her parents, from her siblings, from people in her community.
00:43:51.000And so if we want to go back to a traditional lifestyle for families and for marriages, then we also have to restructure society and kind of take a step back, press the brakes and say, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:44:05.000The way that modern society is structured, it doesn't allow for traditional ways of living.
00:44:11.000And I think that that's really exacerbated in Korea because Korea went from being one of the poorest countries in the war, in the world after the Korean War to rapid industrialization to becoming now one of the richest.
00:44:22.000And so there's a lot of problems there for people.
00:44:25.000We need to send you back to deal with this birth rate crisis, huh?
00:47:31.000Only so long as they're on the SSRIs, but once they hop off of them, I keep thinking about this the fall of the Soviet Union as being kind of a turning point for the limpness of the American male and probably female.
00:47:40.000Like, we live in fantasy candyland since 89, since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
00:47:44.000Every American was like, we own the world now.
00:50:17.000Learn a hammer your face from your dad, dude.
00:50:17.000I think there's something that you're going to do.
00:50:19.000Just have it on your face like this for hours.
00:50:22.000You know, kind of what you were saying, Phil, about like how the woman will aggravate the guy to get them to do a thing and the guy has to stay calm.
00:50:29.000I think that it's like training for kids.
00:50:32.000It's like the woman will press the guy and she's like simulating what the kid is going to do to the guy because the kid's a wild animal at first.
00:50:40.000Like it's figuring out it wants it takes.
00:50:42.000And so you as a man have to stay calm, push back and say, no, this is the path and you're following me regardless.
00:50:48.000And then deal with the outcome and not flip out.
00:50:50.000And then when, and it's the same for when the guy will push a woman, there's a way that the man will test his woman too.
00:50:59.000And it's like, it's the way that you would push against a child.
00:51:02.000Anyway, I'll think of that a second part later.
00:51:38.000I'm not the best protector and provider, but I can do it kind of, you know?
00:51:41.000And that's like, you just got to get in where you fit in, dude.
00:51:45.000I've heard a lot of women talking about how women's needs for a partner start with security first and then attraction beyond that.
00:51:52.000Because that's what they have with the shit test and everything like that, because they want to make sure this person is someone that can be relied upon.
00:51:58.000Because back traditionally, it would be like the father's family would give the woman to another family in a sense.
00:53:22.000And so that's like in reality, you have to kind of, even if you're the poor farmer, you've got to somehow elicit the strength of the prince.
00:53:30.000And people think, oh, if I get rich, that'll be, but it's not just rich, you know, it's power.
00:53:35.000Dude, you're just saying that because you have prince hair, dude.
00:53:37.000Oh, you, you knew I was talking about actually talking about prince the whole time.
00:55:34.000Someone was talking that when it kind of busted onto the scene and was a big topic on social media, I forget who it was that was talking about it, but the reason that it's like all these animals now is because men, feminists kind of have like looked at men and said, men are terrible, but they still want the same kind of animistic.
00:56:56.000Good lord, that guy doesn't have a father.
00:56:59.00018 of St. Helens faces new charges of first-degree attempted domestic terrorism and second-degree domestic terrorism.
00:57:06.000The charges handed down by a Columbia County grand jury on Thursday are in addition to the 13 original charges that included six counts of unlawful manufacturing of a destructive device, six counts of unlawful possession of a destructive device, and attempted second-degree assault.
00:57:20.000Prosecutors said that Coleman did unlawfully and with intent attempt to cause widespread serious physical injury or death and attempt to destroy or substantially damage critical infrastructure.
00:57:30.000Coleman, who was arrested on February 4th, will be adrained on Friday afternoon.
00:57:34.000And Deputy District Attorney Joshua Pond filed a notice seeking a harsher sentence per core records.
00:57:39.000According to a probate cause affidavit, Coleman allegedly devised an intricate plan to follow ICE agents home as they left the facility on McAdam Avenue and kill them, including by beheading and taking their severed heads as trophies.
00:57:53.000His plan detailed utilizing night vision goggles to stalk their whereabouts and wearing camouflage clothing to blend in.
00:57:59.000Where has this guy got the money for night vision goggles?
00:58:27.000Investigators found Coleman in possession of surveillance equipment, tactical axes, military knives, shovels, and homemade explosive devices, including Moltov cocktails, which were located in his vehicle during his arrest.
00:58:36.000Coleman also had been making payments toward the purchase of an AR-15, according to court documents.
00:59:27.000But Momo, I want to wear your goggles.
00:59:29.000So to Aladdin's point earlier, you know, these leftists really are getting far more brazen in their attacks.
00:59:37.000I mean, there's obviously all the attacks in Texas on the ICE facilities.
00:59:41.000There was a couple, I think there were three immigrants that were illegal immigrants that were killed when the shooter was shooting into the ICE facility, and he was trying to kill ICE agents, but he ended up killing illegal immigrants.
00:59:56.000Do you think that this kind of stuff, or do you guys think this kind of stuff is going to be more prevalent in the coming years?
01:00:02.000Or do you think that this is going to reach an apex soon and kind of peter out?
01:00:05.000I don't know if we have a, I don't know if I specifically have a blind spot to this, only noticing this happening for leftist causes and I'm maybe missing all the right-wing causes this violence is done for.
01:00:16.000But no, I see this as like normalized on the left and encouraged by the left.
01:00:21.000Shout out to, you know, going back to even Charlie Kirk not too long ago being murdered.
01:00:25.000Obviously, there were two Israeli consulate staffers who were murdered in Washington, D.C. not too long ago.
01:00:31.000And these, the fire bombings of potential ICE facilities or attacks on ICE agents or doxing of ICE agents, it just doesn't seem uncommon.
01:00:39.000It seems to be normalized and almost appreciated by people on the far left.
01:00:43.000They believe the ends justify the means and they think these people are genuinely evil and they are superheroes fighting against them.
01:00:49.000They think they're like, I don't know, Batman or Superman punching like Adolf Hitler in the face comic style.
01:00:54.000And when you have people who are so self-absorbed and so self-important, I think you're only going to see more of this stuff.
01:01:01.000So this really begs the question, which TikTok did this kid see before being encouraged to go try to, you know, kill ICE officers?
01:01:08.000It might have been actually a Reddit post.
01:01:25.000We disavow all that kind of stuff, right?
01:01:27.000But for people who bitch and moan about dehumanization all the time, they sure love to dehumanize people who don't think that they are the opposite gender.
01:02:03.000Because he was a fascist who they believe was causing harm against them.
01:02:06.000They believe his speech was causing harm against adults.
01:02:09.000It's so scary because there's millions of people who feel this way.
01:02:11.000Like millions of people who feel this way, that if you are a right-wing person, anyone to the right of Hillary Clinton, you deserve to die because you are dehumanizing me and you are taking away my rights.
01:02:25.000You know, we were making jokes about the TikTok of the lieutenant governor from Minnesota today because she was talking about her native name.
01:03:27.000We're going to find him guilty and we're going to get capital punishment.
01:03:30.000Didn't bother to mention what crime he was going to be charged with.
01:03:34.000Didn't bother to mention what crime he had committed that was worthy of capital punishment.
01:03:39.000But he was making it very clear that capital punishment was going, that was his goal, that he was get him elected and he was going to make sure that Donald Trump was brought up on charges that would lead to a death penalty.
01:03:53.000I think that's what makes Democrats, like, I don't like Republicans either, but I think this is what makes Democrats really pernicious is that they know what they're saying is absolute bullcrap, but they live off the delusions of useful idiots who eat it up, where these useful idiots on college campuses, on Reddit, they genuinely believe that Donald Trump is worse than Adolf Hitler.
01:04:19.000And so they believe that, yes, we need to go out and kill all the supporters of so-called worse than Hitler.
01:04:27.000And then this is why left-wing violence has become so normalized in our society, where it seems like there is a left-wing attack in the West every other week.
01:04:37.000Like we just had a trans shooter in Canada target multiple children, murder multiple children, and somehow the left is completely silent about that.
01:04:48.000But if you look at his posts, Matt Walsh was calling out that trans person, that shooter's post years ago about, hey, these people are getting really radicalized on the internet and then nothing's being done because they are a protected class and we can't dehumanize them and they are somehow protected under civil rights legislation.
01:05:07.000And to your point about the protected class stuff, like the Canadian media wouldn't even come out and say that it was a trans woman.
01:05:20.000Yeah, the dance that they do only helps the trans people that are the shooter.
01:05:26.000Like if you refuse to use the actual biological sex of a person because you're going to offend the trans community when it was a trans, a trans woman, it was a guy that shot these 10 people or something like that killed his parents, then went to a school and decided to shoot a bunch of kids.
01:05:44.000If the government and the media still won't come out and say, look, okay, this was a mentally ill person.
01:05:51.000This is a person that had a disorder and was on drugs.
01:05:57.000And they say, oh, it was a person, a trans person, a woman in a dress is another thing that I heard someone saying, a woman in a dress about a guy in a dress that was shooting people.
01:06:09.000The fact that the media still plays into it only helps these people, only protects these people that are carrying out these heinous crimes.
01:06:17.000Did you guys see that Canadian police chief when discussing the trans shooter?
01:06:22.000They said, we will respect the preferred pronouns of this individual while she was alive.
01:06:59.000It's hard to emphasize how much they think that right-wingers are legitimately evil and that they are saving the planet.
01:07:05.000Think that that's like a what I take is a global conspiracy to actually do this to the United States to get it to destroy itself from within.
01:07:11.000So, like to answer your question, Phil, is this going to keep happening?
01:07:14.000I think the plan, it looks like, is radicalize the people of the United States by destroying their economy and flooding their country with fentanyl, weird petrochemicals, drugs, feed them crap, they'll eat it in the US.
01:07:26.000They'll ban it in Europe, but they'll eat it in the U.S., make them androgynous, and then have the make it normalize it.
01:07:33.000And then when they fight, then the people are going to be like the response to like radical, call me my pronoun is, I would rather see you worst of the worst.
01:07:44.000You're going to push me to say something that I know isn't true.
01:07:46.000Like, you can't compel my speech and behavior.
01:07:48.000So, then what that'll happen is it will radicalize both sides more.
01:07:54.000And then I think you will see more of this up until people start begging for a technocracy to come in and use spy tech, global spy tech, to make sure no one can do this kind of thing because we're all being tracked at every moment, like what Larry Ellison wants to do: make ours all tracked at every moment so that we can't commit crimes.
01:08:09.000And people will beg, even people on the right, begging for this technology to protect them from these crazy trans shooters.
01:08:59.000Nowadays, it's actually very common to have trans people that are attacking, you know, society in one way or another.
01:09:06.000So the fact that that was Sky News, the fact that the anchor for Sky News was not just, you know, not just talking about what had happened, but actually even trying to tell people that this is a rare thing because women don't do this.
01:09:20.000And it's like, look, it wasn't a woman.
01:09:43.000I would love to stop focusing on the transgender aspect or transsexual aspect of the human.
01:09:48.000Focus more on if someone is warped, if someone is broken mentally, if they've been, that's the problem.
01:09:53.000Whether the mentally ill are being taken advantage of, the autistic people are being taken advantage of.
01:09:58.000People who are confused about their identity are being taken advantage of.
01:10:01.000Puberty is a difficult time, particularly for women, and they are being taken advantage of.
01:10:05.000People that are compassionate are being taken advantage of.
01:10:07.000It's the vector of attack of this machine is compassion.
01:10:09.000They're getting people to use their own feelings of empathy.
01:10:12.000Like, oh, there's this homeless, dying, sick person on the ground.
01:10:16.000You wouldn't just leave them there, would you?
01:10:17.000Put even here and bring them all into your house.
01:10:19.000Even rolling this back to the, like, how do we, how do people get encouraged to transition?
01:10:24.000It's, again, people who feel legitimately uncomfortable with their bodies, which can be okay, but that doesn't mean you need to butcher your own body.
01:10:30.000So, again, it really is taking advantage of retards, young women, and the mentally ill because those people are the most susceptible ones to think they have issues with their body and are the most likely to be and most capable of being taken advantage of.
01:10:42.000Maybe we were talking about this when we were in Florida on one of the shows.
01:10:47.000The incidences of anorexia and bulimia have dropped, whereas the incidences of trans men, trans women, or no, trans men has increased.
01:11:14.000Whereas when it comes to trans women, men, it tends to be things like autogynophilia and mental disorder or other mental disorders, but it's manifests as trans.
01:11:24.000So if you're a man and you're having body dysmorphia, you're gay.
01:11:30.000I think a lot of gay people that are like, oh, you're erasing gay people because you're telling young gay people that actually they're trans.
01:11:37.000And so there's a big portion of the LGBTQ LGBT lobby, the LGB lobby.
01:11:51.000Well, that's why you've seen like a large part of the gay population disassociate from the trans movement.
01:11:57.000The other thing that I think is really interesting is seeing some of the detransition now, where like they, it was almost like a fad at school and everyone was doing it.
01:12:08.000So now I'm, you know, and you see these people that are detransitioning and telling their story about that.
01:12:13.000And the way they get attacked by the trans community is mind-blowing.
01:12:55.000Getting people to turn on huge segments of society is like genetically, we're predisposed to genetically being pointed at the enemy and go probably because our ancestors, those were the people that survived.
01:13:04.000They weren't the good guys, but they were the people that would mobilize the masses and get them to kill a bunch of people.
01:13:08.000And they're like, see, now we're in charge.
01:13:10.000And it's like, it's so easy to manipulate people into hating and killing.
01:13:15.000It's got to be, we evolved to a point where we stop that way of being.
01:13:38.000Talking about detransitioners, there was just a D-transitioner that was awarded $2 million because her mother felt pressured by the psychologist and by the doctor.
01:13:51.000The child was 15 when she started dressing like a boy and began social transition.
01:13:58.000And then 11 months later, it's when she got surgery.
01:14:03.000It's particularly pernicious for young women because when young women start puberty, it's a very traumatic time for them.
01:14:10.000They're used to being viewed in one way without breasts.
01:14:13.000And now they're beginning to be sexualized and they just want to stay the way it was.
01:14:16.000And, you know, they don't want to be viewed differently by their peers.
01:14:19.000And that doesn't mean they're not a woman anymore.
01:14:21.000But the way that it manifests in the way people try to abuse them is by encouraging them to be men and telling them that they're men and tricking them and saying double mastectomy.
01:14:30.000It'll go back to how things were beforehand, but it's not the truth.
01:14:33.000And misleading young women, I think, is particularly traumatic.
01:14:51.000When they were younger, they were going through puberty and being taken and felt like they were being taken advantage of.
01:14:55.000Also, know women with large breasts who, when they were younger, tell me, like, hey, this really changed the way how I was being viewed by others.
01:15:02.000And it made me feel very uncomfortable in my own body.
01:15:06.000And I thought that I wasn't a man, I was a man because of that, or at least not a woman.
01:15:10.000But again, it's just, you know, the troubles of going through puberty, which again could be a very tumultuous time for people.
01:15:15.000And it's really sad because these are our most vulnerable people in our society being taken advantage of.
01:15:21.000Thankfully, though, I think we are heading a little bit in the opposite direction.
01:15:32.000And now, what she's 22, had her breast cut off when she was 15 or something crazy, fast-tracked through.
01:15:37.000And, you know, to that point about, you know, that happening as teenagers, if you talk to normies, like people that are not particularly politically aware, they'll tell you, no, that doesn't happen to kids.
01:16:08.000I really do think it's really sad because whether it's anorexia and bulimia or it's the modern social contagion of transgenderism when it regards like in regards to women, it's like all these young women all just want to be loved, right?
01:16:23.000And all of these social contagions are just attacks on their very, you know, rudimentary and, you know, just very basic desire to be loved.
01:16:36.000And this is why it's like very important as men too.
01:16:39.000Where, you know, I do rag on a woman a lot on social media, but I really do.
01:16:49.000No, but I do care about the general well-being of women because I believe that men and women should complement one another.
01:16:55.000And as men, yes, we need to call out the faults and the sins of women in modern society, but we also need to step up as men and be show women that, hey, like there are good men who exist where we can, yeah, we can be fun, we can be crass, we can crack jokes and all these things, but we also mean business and we will protect you when push comes to shove.
01:17:16.000And to give them that security and just to let them know, like, hey, it's okay to be a woman.
01:17:50.000And it's like that really kind of encapsulates what a relationship should be like.
01:17:56.000You allow by being a man that will take care of your woman and protect your girlfriend or your wife or whatever and protect your family and take the responsibility that comes along with that.
01:18:07.000You allow the woman to go ahead and say, you know what?
01:18:11.000I believe that he'll protect me so I can worry about things that, you know, that I can, you know, women want to worry about.
01:18:17.000Women don't want to worry about being attacked and stuff like that.
01:18:22.000You hear women, particularly feminists and stuff, they say, you know, we shouldn't have to worry about this and we shouldn't have to worry about that.
01:18:44.000And so that's why if you're a man, you are responsible for taking care of your girlfriend.
01:18:50.000That's why, if you're a man, it is expected that, like, if some dude comes up, you're going to be the one that gets in the way and gets punched in the face, you know?
01:19:57.000The best thing you can do for your, the best thing a man can do for his children is to love his wife in front of like not sexually, but like in front of them.
01:20:20.000She's the best thing in the world, blah, blah, blah.
01:20:22.000If he sees dad disrespecting her or being aggressive with her or just being crappy, like he's going to think that's how you're supposed to treat him.
01:20:30.000So the best thing that a father can do for a child is to love that child's mother.
01:21:50.000When I pissed off the Indians earlier last year, they made a viral meme of me where they took my profile picture and then they put some makeup on me and a wig.
01:21:59.000And they're like, look, Korean men and Korean women, what's the difference?
01:23:27.000And no matter how much women try to convince themselves that they are as strong as men, as quick as men, like, no, like in any situation, men will always overpower women.
01:23:37.000So the solution to women's safety and their flourishing is not to put down men and try to convince women that they can be like men and just make inferior versions of men out of women, but is to encourage and honor good men.
01:23:58.000And we honor you guys in how you guys look out for us and protect us.
01:24:03.000And that is the solution, I believe, really, to all the gender debate where women need to uplift men and men need to be willing to protect and provide for women.
01:24:38.000The champion freestyle skier said the other day after she had to settle for a silver medal in an event at the Olympics that sometimes it feels like I'm carrying the weight of two countries on my shoulders.
01:24:49.000Gu would be carrying the weight of only one country if she had chosen to represent her native USA at the games rather than a hostile totalitarian state.
01:24:57.000Gu skis for China, a choice that is a little like deciding to represent a fascist country during the 1930s.
01:25:04.000China is bent on undermining U.S. power and supplanting Western values.
01:25:08.000It runs a gulag and has established a surveillance state that would make George Orwell blush.
01:26:06.000But just the fact that she has openly stated in her statements, but also in her conduct at the Olympics by representing China, that her primary allegiance lies with China.
01:26:29.000There is no reason for her to keep her American citizenship.
01:26:33.000There's no reason why America should acknowledge her American citizenship because she has abandoned it.
01:26:38.000So it's like, regardless of what you think about China, regardless of what you think about her politics, the reality is she abandoned her citizenship.
01:26:47.000She is more aligned with and more loyal to China over America.
01:26:51.000So she shouldn't be an American citizen.
01:26:55.000And I wonder if it actually does have some kind of context with this particular story.
01:26:59.000If you're a Chinese citizen or have family in China and you're in the United States, you are essentially a national security threat because China has no compunction with applying pressure to your family in China to get you to do something.
01:27:13.000So I don't know for sure if, you know, I don't know that she does have that.
01:27:18.000This is the situation, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the reason that she's skiing for China is because someone in China is like, you're going to ski for us or else we're going to throw your parents or your grandparents or your sister or what have you in jail if you don't.
01:27:32.000And that's, like I said, I make this point a lot.
01:27:35.000If you're a Chinese national here and you have family in China, you are a security threat because whether it be getting a job or studying in some college and some kind of high-tech field or whatever, like China has no problem doing everything they can to get you to engage in espionage on behalf of China.
01:27:55.000The implications of that would be huge.
01:27:57.000As I understand right now, that's North Korea's MO.
01:28:00.000I haven't heard as much of it come out for China.
01:28:03.000This is definitely a bad example of dual loyalty.
01:28:06.000However, I will say, I think she's just doing what's best for her career.
01:28:10.000I think she's just a young, naive woman.
01:28:12.000One side's Chinese and she probably has some affinity for it.
01:28:15.000And the other side's American and she probably saw opportunity there.
01:28:19.000She's probably getting sponsored by PRC.
01:28:31.000Right now we orient our military, orient our military, getting ready for a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
01:28:39.000If every Chinese national in America becomes this sort of national security risk, I don't know really what that means for them and individual liberties in our country because I would kind of foresee another Japanese internment camp V2 if that were the case.
01:28:53.000And that's something that could potentially not be too far off.
01:28:57.000We also have millions of Chinese Americans, patriotic Chinese Americans.
01:29:01.000Also, many of the Chinese patriots that exist in our country were exiled for one reason or another from China.
01:29:07.000So for example, the people at the Epic Times, the Fallen Gong, as I understand, or some sort of religious minority, among others that have been banned and kicked out from China.
01:29:16.000But no, it's a major concern, and her lack of patriotism is disgusting.
01:30:12.000Meanwhile, we've got a mayor in New York City who still holds dual citizenship.
01:30:16.000Oh, he's if they get it in China, they're doing a pretty shitty job because I would never want my country to be anything like the Chinese society.
01:31:09.000Like, dude, if you're going to choose that, even though you have like haha, American Californian accent, you're going to choose to be Chinese.
01:31:14.000Like, I mean, it's a pivotal point in history to doing that.
01:31:18.000So here's a question ethically for you, Hangman.
01:31:22.000If you were going to serve in the Olympics of some sort of your expertise in the U.S., you were like 70th rank, but you were number one in South Korea and they wanted to primary you, give you all the money, would you go play for South Korea?
01:31:34.000That's really tough because my situation is I was born in Korea and I was raised here in America, but most of my life I was a dual citizen?
01:31:54.000So it's a little complicated, though, because as I understand the world a little more and I develop in my political philosophy and my beliefs, my affinity for Korea inevitably grows.
01:32:05.000Like as a right-winger, I believe in heritage.
01:32:12.000And so when I think about my ancestry, well, I come from thousands of years in Korea.
01:32:19.000I can trace my ancestry all the way back to my founder.
01:32:21.000I actually visited his grave when I was in Korea last month.
01:32:25.000And it's like, well, this is where I come from.
01:32:28.000And so I'm still wrestling through whether or not I'm willing to give that up to fully commit to being an American because I love America and I really do.
01:32:36.000And I, but I still understand that I'm an immigrant.
01:32:40.000And so, you know, people always say, I say things like, oh, foreign nationals or foreigners should not hold political office in your country.
01:32:46.000And they're like, oh, so you don't think you should be able to?
01:33:12.000Because if it meant that we were going to have a class of citizens that were like actually aware of what the three branches of government do and what their job is, those are going to be the people that were voting, as opposed to like every Tom Dick and Harry that, you know, thinks that they're going to vote for a king.
01:33:29.000Then yes, I would absolutely give up my right to vote because I'm one of what, you know, 150 million people that can vote.
01:33:36.000Your individual right to vote is not that valuable.
01:33:50.000You were born in a different country and you chose to abandon that citizenship because you embraced American values so deeply.
01:33:55.000However, at the same time, you think, I don't know, we should reject people like you from holding elected office.
01:34:00.000I think immigrants like you, people who, you know, chose to assimilate to the degree in which they did, is a good thing and kind of like the American dream.
01:34:09.000And if you had the opportunity to run for office and the American people chose to elect you, then I think I don't see any issue with it.
01:34:15.000We live in a democracy where people pick who their representatives would be.
01:34:19.000And frankly, it's anti-American, as I understand.
01:34:21.000We only have laws against the president not being an American-born person.
01:34:25.000But as far as the rest of the elected officials go, Kingman, I think you can be one of them, even though you weren't born in the US of A. Dude, I've also struggled with this myself because I was born outside the United States and became an American as well.
01:34:37.000Along with what a lot is saying, if you are become American, you have to learn a lot more about the country.
01:34:42.000You have to learn how the system works, who did what when, basic history stuff that you need to know in order to properly represent America as an American, I would say.
01:34:51.000And I've done all that stuff because I've had to do that.
01:34:54.000I feel like it made me much more, I have much more affinity for America and I understand why America does these things and why America works this way.
01:35:00.000And to be fair, we used to have civics classes, which we taught in this country, and we stopped that stuff.
01:35:04.000And when we stopped that stuff, we've started to see way more people be like disenfranchised, feeling disillusioned with the country, feeling like, I don't really have anything to do with it.
01:35:12.000So I think maybe it doesn't necessarily mean like we're more or less American than another person, but it does mean that like we care about this idea, which America is.
01:35:21.000America is an idea and has always been an idea of other people from other backgrounds coming to bring forth the idea that all men are created equal under God.
01:36:06.000But if that Japanese person marries a Korean and then for many generations assimilates, and to the extent like they're indistinguishable from other Koreans, yeah, they're Korean, right?
01:36:15.000So there are immigrants who can assimilate and for many generations.
01:36:41.000I'm not trying to besmirch that in any way, but I am here to say like America is important.
01:36:48.000I even posted my Twitter yesterday being like, you know, if it means that America becomes the shining city on a hill that it should be as this hope for humanity, I would be like the first on the boat going back, send me to South Africa, bro.
01:36:59.000I'm out of here because I believe that America needs to succeed.
01:37:03.000That's how much I feel the world needs.
01:37:38.000I wasn't born in any foreign country like you too, immigrants.
01:37:42.000No, here's my point on this: where like America is a people.
01:37:48.000And then so when you start to get away from this idea that America, and like you can say American is an idea, but then you look at the Constitution and who was the Constitution written for, who was the country built for?
01:38:03.000And so, yeah, it's for Americans and their posterity.
01:38:05.000So the posterity, the descendants of those who built America.
01:38:09.000Now, you can have immigrants assimilate, yes, of course.
01:38:13.000But the reality is, people like me, especially those who come from very different cultures.
01:38:19.000And of course, there's a lot of similarities between the West and the East.
01:38:23.000But you see this a lot with Somalian immigrants and African immigrants and Arab immigrants and all these things where, yes, you're going to have patriots, those who love America and very grateful for America, not only for its economic opportunity, but for what America stands for, its traditions, its customs, its history, its myth, its legends, its values.
01:38:53.000You Koreans have been the model minority, however.
01:38:55.000No, but the thing is, most Korean Americans don't think the way that I do.
01:38:58.000And this is where Korean Americans are, even the ones who agree with me, are still a minority among most Korean Americans who, yes, Korean Americans who moved here, yes, they all agree with me.
01:39:10.000But the children of Korean Americans, the second generation, the third generation, they largely disagree with me.
01:39:17.000Asian Americans, especially Asian American women, are the most liberal demographic in America by far.
01:39:23.000So, yeah, so that's why I say it's like, if I, me not being able to run for office, prevents people like Maisie Hirono from being in office, absolutely, absolutely.
01:39:34.000And I don't see anything wrong with that because those who should make the rules and enact legislation and lead the country should be Americans.
01:39:44.000In the same way, I wouldn't want to see, you know, Indians or Japanese or all these different or white people, God bless all you guys, lead and be in parliament in Korea, in the National Assembly in Korea, be the president of Korea, things like that, right?
01:39:59.000So, you know, people say I'm a self-haying immigrant.
01:41:11.000We don't have an ethnicity in the U.S. That's the difference about this country, like almost every other country on earth, especially the older countries.
01:41:17.000There's no ethnic thing to go back to.
01:41:20.000I do believe that there was an ethnogenesis in America at its founding.
01:41:24.000I do believe that it was mainly West Africans and white Anglo-Saxon Protestants.
01:41:29.000And that was the ethnogenesis of America where, yes, like those West Africans and the, you know, the foundational black Americans, they call themselves that, right?
01:41:40.000I believe that they are Americans, but there was a distinct ethnogenesis, I believe, in American history when at the foundation of America, it was white Anglo-Saxon Protestants and West Africans.
01:41:50.000And now, doesn't mean that if you're not of those lineages, that you can never become American?
01:42:06.000It's funny you bring up Africans because I don't know if y'all notice, but I had to go take an extremely long pee break because of pool water.
01:43:30.000I mean, we could go to super chats too.
01:43:32.000I think we got a boatload of people that want to chime in, but like, would you marry like a Korean chick or like an American girl that's Korean heritage?
01:43:57.000That aside, because I find the imperialistic nature of Eastern Asia is very important in those cultures, but I'd like to hear what your thoughts are.
01:44:06.000I guess like American, I think this is kind of the distinction between America and the rest of the world.
01:44:12.000But I think America is still very individualistic versus Korea is individualistic in certain regards, for sure, but they're still broadly collectivist.
01:44:21.000And so there's so many things you can break that down into and different, how that manifests in different ways in society.
01:44:41.000I've had some Korean friends growing up, and that's one of the things that I really appreciated about their society and culture.
01:44:46.000But it really can't be understated, their respect for like the actual patriarchy.
01:44:51.000Here in America, that's what they're trying to tear down.
01:44:53.000It's because Confucianism was like the main religion before Japanese annexation.
01:44:57.000And then during Japanese colonialism, Christianity like boomed.
01:45:02.000And so Christianity became the dominant religion in Korea.
01:45:05.000But because of the Confucian roots, like Confucianism is very big on filial piety and respecting your elders and your ancestors and very patriarchal.
01:45:22.000I think a lot of Americans need to travel to Asia.
01:45:25.000Like when I went to Japan, right after I got caught in TSA with a pew pew in my backpack on accident, while I was there, what was shocking to me was the honor society.
01:45:34.000I think that there's like this culture of honor, right?
01:45:37.000Like you don't talk on public transit.
01:45:40.000If you're on the bus or the train, you keep your voice down and everyone's very quiet.
01:45:44.000They don't have public trash cans in Japan because your trash is your responsibility.
01:45:50.000It's not on the public whatever to take care of that.
01:46:59.000And then you want to head over to rumble.com and become a member there again for the after show.
01:47:03.000The Rumble After Show, Monday through Thursday, is uncensored where we can say things that will get us in trouble on YouTube, which is still kind of annoying.
01:47:11.000But, anyways, we're going to go to your super chats and Rumble Rat Rumble rants right now.
01:47:16.000Wyatt Claddenberg says, Don Lemon, journalist or political propagandist.
01:47:22.000I think he's a political propagandist, my honest opinion.
01:47:24.000I think that nowadays the left and the right have become so ossified and so separate that it's really hard to find people that are just telling you the news.
01:47:36.000There might be some outlets out there that really do try to give you both sides of the story, but they're very few and far between, particularly because most people go to the internet for their news and they go to places that kind of feed them things that they want to hear generally.
01:47:50.000Do you guys have a different lines between activism and journalism is becoming increasingly blurred?
01:47:57.000In my experience covering journalism, it's all activists with motivated reasoning with their journalism.
01:48:02.000Why do you think people usually stumble upon the stories that they do?
01:48:05.000It's because they're choosing to research into the things that they don't like.
01:48:07.000So that line is getting scrubbed, not only on the left, but on the right as well, just writ large in our society.
01:48:13.000There's no such thing as impartial, unbiased journalism, though.
01:48:34.000It's all to a certain extent propaganda.
01:48:37.000It's just a matter of we have to be able to discern what is truth and what is fiction and be able to kind of wade through, hey, like this person has a left-wing bias and this person has a right-wing bias and then just like get to the fullness of the truth.
01:48:51.000I think people understand that all media is biased.
01:49:22.000If you ever find yourself wondering how you're supposed to feel about something, you probably don't need to hear about it from someone else.
01:49:27.000But that's the majority of people, though.
01:49:29.000The majority of people want to know how to feel about what happened.
01:49:33.000And that's just how people are because people, most people, even if they're politically inclined, they still defer to authority.
01:49:41.000And because we are all beings to, we all are like, it's ingrained in all of us to be submitting to some sort of authority.
01:49:49.000And we all, in our own lives, have authority figures that we all defer to in certain aspects of life or even like certain beliefs.
01:49:55.000Like as Christians, they defer to their pastors, children, they defer to their parents.
01:50:00.000Hassan Piker's audience defers to Hassan Piker, things like that, right?
01:50:04.000So the reality is most people, and this is why we always have an elite class in society because the elite class end up being the people who are the ones who dictate the discourse and things like that.
01:50:15.000And then the rest of the populace are the ones who kind of follow along, whoever the leaders are.
01:50:21.000And that's just how society is always structured.
01:50:26.000Patriot Paladin says, I could go to another country, renounce my citizenship, gain new citizenship, take office, and subvert the will of the country.
01:50:34.000I mean, that's why you can't become the president in the United States if you're not from the United States.
01:50:39.000And I do think that that's a good argument for why people shouldn't hold office if they're a first-generation immigrant.
01:50:45.000I mean, look, I know there are a lot of people that make us think about it one way or the other.
01:50:49.000I don't honestly think that it's that big of a deal if you're like, look, if you're a first-generation immigrant, you can't become a politician.
01:50:56.000It's not a big ask to be like, hey, wait until you're, you know, or you don't do it.
01:51:01.000Your kids could, you know, I mean, or at least just renounce your other citizenship.
01:51:05.000I mean, Ted Cruz, for as much as I dislike him, at least he renounced his Canadian citizenship.
01:51:10.000He was always an American citizen because he was born to American parents, I'm pretty sure.
01:51:13.000But he had dual citizenship and he was born in Canada.
01:51:20.000You know, I don't think that's a tall ask.
01:51:23.000Look, if you go to another country and you become a citizen of that country and they have a democratic process and vote you in, that's their problem.
01:51:31.000I guess that's just how democracies work, in my view.
01:53:18.000Chief Corey Anderson says the DOJ should get information off of Lemon's phone, drop charges against him, then release a press release thanking him for his help and cooperation.
01:54:15.000I mean, but to your point, though, like, it's not enough.
01:54:18.000Like, as soon as someone believes that you have somehow become a traitor, which we were talking about earlier, then they ostracize you and they attack you, you know, with the full force of the left because they look at you as a traitor.
01:54:30.000Look what happened to Stephen A. Smith and Van Jones.
01:56:31.000No, but that everybody's evil or bad, but like the people that will turn on each other because they're not in lockstep are pretty much the Decepticons.
01:56:37.000Like you see, Ian, they call themselves the good guys.
01:56:57.000You have to disassociate from good and evil and bad and good and like stop playing that game.
01:57:01.000Because if you play that game, there's always going to be a bad guy.
01:57:03.000Yeah, I think that I disagree with you because I think there always is going to be a bad guy.
01:57:08.000Because I mean, look, I'm not a Christian, but I believe there's something in the Bible that says that good and evil run straight through the heart of man, right?
01:57:16.000Like men can be, like human beings, are imperfect.
01:57:19.000And if you give in to your more base instincts and your sinful instincts, you can become evil.
01:57:34.000Ifirion 275 says, Lod, the whole martyr thing with Lemon, I think, was a complete setup just so he could pull that card.
01:57:41.000Following his firing from whatever news network, along with the virtual fail of his show podcast, martyrdom is his new meal ticket rise to relevance.
01:57:51.000And the administration played right into it, if that is the case.
01:57:53.000So it kind of sucks, but it's still a bitch to have the DOJ rifling through your shit.
01:57:58.000And I wouldn't wish it upon any of my buddies.
01:58:00.000So they still have to get a lawyer and there'll still be legal fees that are associated with him.
01:58:04.000But again, we wouldn't be talking about him and nobody in the news would be talking about him otherwise if he didn't get charged.
01:58:47.000Yeah, not only that, but I'm glad you survived.
01:58:49.000I'm glad you made it out with your marriage intact because if it wasn't for the fact that you have a good husband, he might have decided to boot you or not tolerate it or whatever.
01:58:58.000But good on you for changing your mind and good on your husband for working through that.
01:59:05.000I don't even know what the fuck to say.
01:59:07.000That is so crazy because I was literally thinking that as he was, because the liberal women's circle would have wanted her to leave her husband because he is a fascist, obviously, right?
01:59:18.000And that is so toxic and poisonous, but I see it constantly.
02:00:36.000And it's just all very sad and unfortunate.
02:00:38.000Stay married to your significant others as much as you can, of course.
02:00:42.000These online communities, that's why they're so dangerous, especially the left-wing ones that radicalize you.
02:00:46.000Because like you said, they replace your natural affections and bonds with your family and your immediate community with online ones, with strangers, most of the times whose names and faces you don't even know.
02:01:43.000I think we just had a Republican from Florida in Congress resign.
02:01:47.000So now there's truly a one-seat majority, depending on how you count Massey.
02:01:51.000The Republicans are in deep shit and they're going to lose the midterms inevitably, not only because the Republicans are demoralized right now, but because that is the trend following one party winning the presidential.
02:02:02.000The other party usually comes back in the midterms.
02:02:04.000We will see endless investigations and impeachments once Republicans lose the majority.
02:02:08.000So we're in for a very annoying lame duck second half of the Trump presidency.
02:02:13.000Founding father 1776 says, I'm 30 and my fifth baby, Luca, arrived at 7:15 a.m.
