On today's show, Libby and Libby discuss a new report from the DOJ Inspector General ( IG) revealing that 26 FBI Informants were involved in the January 6th riots at the Capitol, and that most of them were inside the building. Plus, a story about a prison break-in gone wrong, and why AOC thinks it was an inside job.
00:00:21.000So a new report has come out from the IG exposing that there were 26 FBI informants at the Capitol on January 6th And most of them were involved, Several of them went inside.
00:00:52.000If AOC says it, I must be allowed to say it too.
00:00:55.000If the media gets mad about it, don't take it up with her.
00:00:56.000The crazy thing about the story, though, is that most media outlets are burying the lead, covering it up or outright lying through manipulative context.
00:01:06.000While we know that 26 informants were there and a part of the right and in the building, what's the headline say for some of these stories?
00:01:13.000FBI had no employees in the building or in the crowd.
00:01:23.000There's a story from CNN they put out claiming that they uncovered a prison and a man was inside and literally everybody on X is saying it's clearly staged and fake.
00:01:35.000Now, far be it for me to know for sure Because, you know, you gotta have the evidence.
00:01:41.000The man they found in this prison, they claimed, had been locked up with no windows for three months and hadn't had any water or food for five days.
00:01:50.000He easily stands up of his own volition, stares at the sky and says, the light, the light.
00:01:54.000Everybody knows that you can't even go ten hours in the dark and then try and stare up at the sky.
00:02:00.000Because you don't even like it when your wife or husband turns the light on.

00:03:21.000Well, I run the Article 3 Project, which is a conservative group that helped President Trump confirm his judges in his first term, and we have been the tip of the spear defending President Trump against this Biden lawfare and election interference for the last two and a half years.
00:03:44.000We're going to continue to help him by helping him confirm his nominees to the executive branch, confirm his judicial nominees, and make sure that they have the political cover they need to do their jobs.
00:03:58.000We see on the right that we have really smart lawyers.
00:04:02.000And they can follow the law, but we need two things in order for that to work.
00:04:05.000We need the law to be right, and we need the politics to be right.
00:04:09.000So we're helping President Trump get the smart lawyers to get the law right, and at the Article 3 Project, we're helping them get the politics right.
00:04:32.000Let's go to the first story from the New York Post.
00:04:35.000FBI had 26 informants at January 6th Capitol riots.
00:04:40.000Most were involved, bombshell DOJ report confirms.
00:04:45.000They say the FBI had at least 26 CIs on the ground.
00:04:47.000They call them CHSs, confidential human sources, in Washington, D.C. during J6, storming the Capitol, most of whom engaged in illegal activity during the chaos.
00:04:57.000The Justice Department's watchdog confirmed in a bombshell report.
00:05:00.000Leadership at the Bureau had long been adamant that it did not have the sources who orchestrated the riot.
00:05:05.000They did not have sources who orchestrated the riot.
00:05:08.000Questions about whether the FBI had informants involved in the riots were met with conspiracy theory labels by many mainstream media outlets.
00:05:14.000If you're asking if the violence at the Capitol was part of some operation orchestrated by the FBI sources or agents, the answer is no.
00:05:21.000Outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers back in July, Wray had long refused to divulge exactly how many informants were present that day.
00:05:28.000I'm going to go assume it's probably more than just 26. The DOJ's Office of the Inspector General found that of the FBI's confidential sources on the ground, four entered the Capitol in the midst of the riot and 13 went into a restricted area.
00:05:42.000Only nine were not found to have engaged in illegal activity, according to the report.
00:05:46.000Critically, that report also shot down unsubstantiated speculation that the Bureau had agents stoking some of the mayhem that day.
00:05:53.000Quote, We found no evidence in the materials we reviewed or in the testimony we received showing or suggesting that the FBI had undercover employees in the various protest crowds or at the Capitol.
00:06:05.000The report said only three of its 26 informants present had been instructed to observe potential domestic terrorist suspects on the day of the riot.
00:06:12.000The DOJ watchdog found the rest of the 23 appear to have gone to the Capitol of their own accord.
00:06:17.000I think this very much adds to the story that we had heard.
00:06:22.000This goes back to 2022 when AOC says Capitol Police were opening the doors for J6 riders.
00:06:41.000And as it turns out, at least on some circumstances, the police were posing with some of these insurrectionists, they call them, taking photos and opening at least what I can see interior doors.
00:06:53.000Not only the interior doors, but there was an instance where after doors have been opened, the police just stood next to the door and told the protesters.
00:07:01.000One guy says, I don't agree with it, but I respect it.
00:07:04.000These cops were absolutely assisting, not to mention one man was acquitted entirely because he argued that a cop waved him in.
00:07:12.000Sure enough, there is video footage of a cop waving people in that they try to claim.
00:07:31.000And that there were actual officers working with this and we never got to the bottom of that and we never got any answers about that and then to this day we're just supposed to pretend that that never happened.
00:07:40.000I have no idea what happened to the people on the inside who were very clearly sympathetic with what was going on and opening the doors wide open for that.
00:07:50.000And I'm supposed to sit here and pretend like none of that ever happened.
00:07:54.000And then right afterwards, you just have this idea that throwing money at that problem is going to make it go away without any accountability.
00:08:03.000And so this is where these things are breaking down.
00:08:21.000She wants answers as to the federal law enforcement elements that were actively assisting J6. Well, I agree, AOC. It sounds like an inside job.
00:08:30.000And I'm going to stress this, too, in all seriousness, outside of any tongue-in-cheek joke or something like that.
00:08:35.000If one police officer, just one, helped the rioters in any way, and we know they did, that's an inside job, okay?
00:08:43.000What they're trying to do is when we say it was an inside job, they immediately jump to the claim that it means the government orchestrated the plot and made it all happen.
00:09:06.000Now imagine if that happened and the police came in and said, looks like it was an inside job because this guy who works here opened the door for the robbers.
00:09:16.000And then immediately the media said, are you implying the bank manager, along with all of its staff, coordinated with the police to steal the money?
00:10:29.000They're saying that there were no FBI agents, that there were no employees, and they're obfuscating the fact that confidential informants don't actually work for the FBI.
00:10:44.000But there were confidential informants.
00:10:46.000So there were people that were working with the FBI, but they weren't FBI agents and they weren't employees.
00:10:55.000And the fact that the media is running with that, and they're, again, obfuscating the fact that there were government assets in the crowd, and those people were egging other people on to do things.
00:11:09.000It's I mean, it's clearly dishonest, and it's frustrating because this is going to be the narrative that the left is going to spin.
00:11:29.000Yeah, he said he thinks this is actually a plot from the Pentagon, that they wanted the J6ers to riot, that they were hoping for some violence that they could ultimately use.
00:11:38.000And that if you look at the actions taken by the federal government since then, it only really makes sense if there actually was extreme violence.
00:11:46.000All we really got was basically trespass and some vandalism.
00:11:49.000And if you can even call it trespass on a lot of these cases, the people who broke the windows that I get, you fight cops, you hit cops, you go to jail, that I get.
00:11:57.000But he there was a he and another guy I talked to said that one of the cops working at the Capitol Police evacuated the members of Congress.
00:12:06.000Had he not done that, they could have gotten hurt, might have been likely, and that he was actually he got in trouble for having done that because he was not given orders to evacuate.
00:12:14.000So it's his opinion that they wanted this to happen.
00:12:17.000They intentionally didn't bring police or National Guard because they needed an excuse to go after Trump.
00:12:24.000January 6th was a lawful protest permitted by the National Park Service that devolved into a riot.
00:12:31.000And I think what the Biden Justice Department tried to do with January 6th, along with the January 6th committee, is they tried to use this as an excuse to cancel Trump and cancel Trump's movement, right?
00:12:46.000They wanted Trump and his ideas, his America First movement, to go away.
00:12:52.000What should have happened is they should have looked at January 6th and said, wait, people who were there legally, people who were outside have, even if you think they're wrong, even if you think they're crazy, they have an absolute First Amendment right to protest their government and protest the election.
00:13:10.000And then there's a second category of people who trespassed, and there's a dispute whether some people even trespassed if the cops are letting them into the damn building.
00:13:18.000But let's just presume that they trespass, okay?
00:13:23.000And then there's a third category of people who are violent, and you charge them with violence.
00:13:27.000But look, I was a staffer on the Senate Judiciary Committee during the Kavanaugh proceedings when you had protesters threatening violence throughout the Capitol, trespassing into offices, trespassing into restricted zones.
00:13:43.000Not a damn thing happened to them, right?
00:13:46.000You look at the BLM and Antifa rioters, the much more deadly and destructive BLM and Antifa rioters.
00:13:57.000So what they did on January 6th is they wanted to lump everyone together, call them insurrectionists, even though no one was charged with insurrection.
00:14:05.000How many insurrectionists go into a nation's capital unarmed, get to the Senate floor of the nation's capital, walk through velvet ropes, follow police direction, and don't burn down the damn place?
00:14:33.000And if everyone else is getting charged for January 6th and they're hunting people down for years and 1,500 people are charged, why weren't these 23 paid FBI contractors?
00:14:45.000Weren't there 23 who were paid, but they just showed up that day, and three who were working that day, right?
00:14:52.000There were There were three who the FBI said, you know, why don't you come out?
00:14:56.000And then there were 23 who showed up at their own volition who had not allegedly been requested by the FBI. That means they were just participants.
00:15:47.000If you look at the Capitol breach cases and do a search on the DOJ website for trespass, it's like hundreds of entries of people who are charged with trespass.
00:16:35.000And all the stuff that all of the people outside of the Supreme Court justices' homes and the person that was threatening Kavanaugh and all of these things are just swept under...
00:16:44.000You mean Chuck Schumer when he went to the Supreme Court and physically threatened Kavanaugh?
00:16:58.000Is allowed to make these assertions that are so blatantly false while at the same time the left is incredibly, totally guilty of the exact same kind of things that they would lose their mind over.
00:17:13.000Let's jump to this story from the AP. They've got a better framing of this.
00:17:17.000So, of course, in the previous thing, we're talking about how, yeah, there were 26 criminal human sources.
00:17:23.000I'm sorry, confidential human sources on the ground, three of whom were paid.
00:17:26.000And we know that from from AOC and many others, there were police officers who are assisting this video footage of the shaman being led to the chambers by Capitol Police.
00:17:35.000Well, after this IG report comes out exposing that there were 26 informants involved with the majority of them participating in January 6th, here's how the corporate press frames it.
00:18:03.000There were no undercover FBI employees, the US Capitol or rally at the Ellipse on January 6th, 2021, according to a new Watchdog report that further debunked conspiracy theories that law enforcement instigated deadly riot.
00:20:51.000And then it'll go through this big, long tirade about how Donald Trump did not actually do this.
00:20:56.000The claims were made on the internet, blah, blah, blah.
00:20:58.000Then at the very last sentence, it will say, while Donald Trump did perform a flawless backflip in front of his supporters who clapped and cheered on Saturday, he did not do it on Sunday.
00:21:06.000They'll add that, that no one asked, and then debunked themselves.
00:21:29.000I mean, honestly, Donald Trump is kind of the guy that really made this something that people were aware of.
00:21:36.000people that were conservatives had kind of felt like the mainstream media was unfair to them.
00:21:42.000It became more clear in the, when, with the FBI, or the IRS targeting Lois Lerner and targeting conservatives in like 2013 or whatever it was.
00:21:53.000But with the election of Barack Obama you started to see that it wasn't just that the media seemed a little biased and it was likely because they were from cities, which is generally what your average person was like, Well, maybe they're a little biased, but they are from cities, and so they probably have a different perspective than people on the right.
00:22:12.000And that was trying to steel man the arguments, trying to think charitably.
00:22:19.000But then once you saw the way that the media behaved once Barack Obama became the president and with the IRS scandal and then 2016, when it became clear that the Democrats didn't have forever control over the government, which they genuinely thought.
00:22:38.000They thought that once Barack Obama was elected, they thought that it was obviously going to be Hillary Clinton and there was going to be Essentially, the Republicans would be a regional party.
00:22:48.000The Republicans would stand up someone against the Democrats every time.
00:22:52.000But the real debate was going to be which Democrat was going to run to beat the Republicans.
00:22:58.000That was the sense from the people on the left.
00:23:02.000And once they saw that Donald Trump won and they saw that that was not the case, they completely flipped out.
00:23:09.000And they went mask off with the lying, the authoritarianism, the attempts to narrative build and control what people saw and heard.
00:23:20.000And it's tiring, but we've been seeing, again, like, you know, 10-15 years now.
00:24:49.000The way I see it is you're saying, well, look, look, I get that we have an infection on our arm that's rotting away the body, but let's just focus on learning how to juggle with the right hand.
00:25:09.000The reason they did the last four years of Biden's persecution of Trump, his top aides like Steve Bannon and Peter Devaro, his January 6th supporters who were persecuted, parents, Christian, the reason they— The case act, I mean, that stuff— The reason the Biden regime did this, along with their Democrat allies in New York, Atlanta, other hellholes around the country, is because we let them get away with this the first time.
00:25:35.000I think we need to give them a healthy dose of their own medicine.
00:25:42.000Give them a healthy dose of their own medicine, show them power for their real crimes instead of our side's non-crimes, and so they never do this again.
00:25:52.000You don't think there's a way to do that without just wasting a bunch of government time and money?
00:25:57.000I mean, the government wastes a bunch of time and money every day.
00:26:02.000I really do hope that Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Cash Patel, I hope they open a criminal probe under 18 U.S.C. Section 241, Conspiracy Against Rights, down in the Southern District of Florida, Fort Pierce, Florida.
00:26:22.000Who do you want to see them prosecute?
00:26:24.000I would like them to investigate, and if appropriate, I'm an attorney, I still have bar duties, and if appropriate, they should prosecute anyone who politicized and weaponized our intel agencies and law enforcement to go after political enemies for non-crimes.
00:26:44.000So you think they should investigate Merrick Garland for going after parents at school board meetings?
00:27:02.000Yeah, investigate whoever came up with that memo.
00:27:04.000I would say I would look at, for example, I would look at President Joe Biden's role.
00:27:10.000Even if he has presidential immunity, he could be an important fact witness.
00:27:14.000I would look at his White House counsel's office, like Jonathan Suh, who waived President Trump's Claim of constitutional executive privilege going back 250 years to George Washington, which led to the Mar-a-Lago raid and the two indictments by Jack Smith and his counselor Jay Pratt.
00:27:41.000And he brings about accountability and justice.
00:27:44.000Well, the good thing is that President Trump...
00:27:47.000Is not going to have to worry about any of this because if his Justice Department does its job, they're going to obviously open a criminal probe under 18 U.S.C. Section 241, just like Jack Smith did.
00:27:58.000What about an investigation of her, Robert Herr, for not releasing that transcript, the unredacted transcript?
00:28:40.000Do you want to see a prosecution of Mayorkas?
00:28:42.000For his illegal mass parole of 15 million illegal immigrants into our country and the resulting migrant crime, the rapes, murders, robberies.
00:28:52.000I've got just a handful of people I'd like to see investigated too, like Gretchen Whitmer.
00:28:56.000What would you investigate Whitmer for?
00:28:57.000The deaths of the elderly during COVID. Would you throw Cuomo in there, Andrew Cuomo?
00:29:22.000Right there, I would say probable cause to, you know, open investigation, present a preponderance of evidence to a grand jury and say, should we indict on the evidence we have?
00:29:32.000And if they say yes, then we'll build our case.
00:29:35.000According to the reports that came out, and some of it may be political, I don't know.
00:29:39.000Cuomo killed 15,000 elderly people by choosing to put sick people in nursing homes instead of using, what was it, the comfort that was brought to New York?
00:29:51.000There was a memo that came out from the CDC in the spring of 2020 that instructed nursing homes to, once people went to the hospital to be treated, when they were When they were done being treated, the nursing homes were instructed by the CDC to take them back.
00:30:10.000So that was the order that all of those governors were following.
00:30:14.000It was directly from the CDC. Those governors wanted to save their Medicaid money.
00:30:18.000I agree with you that it was wrong, but there was a memo.
00:30:22.000Do you think that they lost much sleep?
00:30:25.000And we can look at their communications.
00:30:27.000Because for all we know, there's an email from Cuomo to a health official in New York who says, I understand there's a memo, but this could result in mass death of the elderly if we do this.
00:30:36.000And Cuomo might have said, that's fine, do it.
00:30:52.000If we do not get a handle on the corruption, then when Trump gets out, the apocalypse starts all over again.
00:30:59.000And it's going to be worse than anything we have seen.
00:31:03.000And look, we may have won this battle in the culture war.
00:31:08.000I've been saying this for some time now.
00:31:12.000The podcast presidency, they called it.
00:31:14.000You know, shows like this have played a role in communicating a vision and a message and ideas and factual information to regular people that allowed them to make an informed decision.
00:31:25.000But if we're going to sit here and just laugh at Rachel Maddow having a ratings spiral...
00:31:32.000Six months to a year, Comcast, Disney, Fox.
00:32:12.000Then when 2028 comes around, there will not be the authentic independent podcaster anymore.
00:32:18.000Then they come back in, and if these criminal elements are allowed to persist with Pam Bondi, Cash, and Trump just sitting by and letting it happen, they're going to come back and say, now we have to excise the populist movement.
00:33:43.000They tend to believe in a lot of Marxist theory.
00:33:47.000And it's gotten so bad that there are even people that ostensibly would say they're on the right, but they're still making the argument that, oh, you know, the CEO that got killed, it was okay because he was rich and the guy that killed him was doing something for the poor.
00:34:26.000That is a terrible, terrible development for America.
00:34:29.000Do you think that after four years of prosecuting all of these people, do you think that the left, if they get back into power, would not engage in prosecutions?
00:35:08.000And I'm hopeful that the Democrats, the actual Democrats, the liberals of the Democrats will win because your average American is not a progressive.
00:35:20.000Yeah, and the thing is, they just have been doing what is easy, and they have been hiding from the crazy progressives that will cancel them and say they'll call your job and essentially make your life hell if you don't shut up and just listen.
00:35:35.000Those people, the people that are progressives, need to be isolated and they need to be removed from positions of power and positions of authority.
00:35:42.000And your normal Democrats, your normal Joe Manchins, right?
00:35:47.000Those people that care about working people, that have a desire to see, you know, maybe they're pro-union, but they want to see things that are good for the working people.
00:35:59.000Again, the workers, they want to see that kind of stuff.
00:36:02.000Those people need to be ascendant in the Democrat Party, and they need to be the ones in power, and they need to be the people that control essentially the money backers of the DNC. If they can get control of the party, that will save the Democrat Party and that honestly will save America because then we can go back to arguing over, you know, over which corporate tax rate is right, not whether or not you should kill CEOs.
00:36:26.000Because that's the argument we're having now all too frequently with the far left.
00:36:31.000Is it acceptable to kill people because they're rich?
00:36:35.000We're talking about the terror in France.
00:36:39.000These are the bunch of Nazi turfs or Nazis.
00:36:42.000Yeah, but the thing is, we're talking about the far left.
00:36:44.000We're talking about the exact same kind of thing that caused the terror in the French Revolution.
00:36:49.000And now they've brought their red smoke bombs to the U.S. I mean, we've seen them now, red smoke bombs in Montreal and in Greenwich Village, you know?
00:37:26.000I'm talking about the schools of higher education.
00:37:29.000I don't know that you can fix a lot of these.
00:37:32.000You know, I mean, I think that one thing that would help fix a lot of these schools, one thing that would really do a lot is if the government is no longer providing the student loans for your, you know, gender studies, what we used to call basket weaving, things like this, right?
00:38:00.000Make them pay for all that stuff with their endowments.
00:38:04.000I can solve a lot of the problems this country is facing very, very easily.
00:38:08.000What we need is whoever is going to be put in charge of the Department of Education to mandate that all public schools in the United States be converted into mini golf courses where people can pay a nominal fee to enjoy a game of mini golf and the kids will not go to them anymore.
00:38:24.000And as much as people are going to respond with, but then where do the kids go to learn?
00:39:23.000So basically we end up with the Southern schools, we get rid of the Northern schools and the California schools, and we keep the Southern schools, and then we're okay?
00:39:32.000I mean, I don't know if that's exactly how it breaks down, but the thing is, if you've got people in the schools of education being indoctrinated with Paulo Freire's garbage, you know, the pedagogy of the oppressed, I think is the book that he uses.
00:39:51.000The whole thing is about oppression, and you're not teaching kids things like how to read, how to write, how to properly construct sentences, how to do math, how to do basic things that you need to actually live.
00:40:33.000People who are voting for other people, like, you're going to have a large population.
00:40:38.000These younger people are going to be in their 20s and 30s, and they're going to say, I hereby vote that all capable people of merit must do work for me.
00:40:47.000That's basically what they're saying because they're going to be like, I don't know how to survive this, so we should tax everybody.
00:40:51.000Then the people who actually do work and make things get taxed, everybody knows what happens then.
00:40:56.000The people who, there's this funny story that went viral where it was like a teacher did a communism lesson in the classroom and said, when the next test we take, we're going to average out all the grades and everyone will get the same grade.
00:41:09.000And then what happened was everybody ended up getting like a B- and And so the kids who didn't study were like, hey, I didn't even study and I got a B. The kids who just bombed the test were like, I got a B. But the kids who worked really hard and got perfect scores got Bs and got mad.
00:41:25.000So the next time they did a test, it dropped down to a C. Because the kids who worked really, really hard were like, well, what's the point?
00:41:31.000I'm going to break my back and I'm not going to get that much.
00:41:37.000And then within like three or four cycles, they were all failing because nobody felt like they had to take responsibility for it because the harder you worked, you were being pulled back by everybody else.
00:41:46.000That's what's going to happen with the next generation.
00:41:47.000And so what I see is, okay, maybe in 20, 30 years it all falls apart and collapses, but...
00:41:52.000I'm not really worried because I got no problem living in a van down by the river.
00:41:56.000Now, these urban hippie liberal, city urban liberal types, we call them, they're going to be freaking out, bashing their faces on the table.
00:42:51.000They'll go up north and they'll go mapling or whatever they might do.
00:42:53.000But they're not going to have any idea.
00:42:55.000It's remarkable to me when – and I'm not going to pretend to be like some survivalist expert when I tell people – Yeah, black walnut trees, you can tap and you can drink the sap.
00:43:04.000And they're like, wow, I didn't know that.
00:43:05.000Well, it's not a common thing, but black walnut syrup you can make.
00:43:08.000And maple trees, yeah, you can just drink the water right out of the tree.
00:43:41.000So my point is, these kids in these schools are going to grow up totally clueless.
00:43:46.000And then once they can vote, they're going to say, I hereby vote to take Phil's stuff because, you know, Phil's oppressing me by being rich.
00:43:53.000And meanwhile, Phil is just going to be some dude living on like five acres who has his own garden.
00:43:57.000And he's going to be like, look, I planted this food so I could eat it.
00:43:59.000Like, yeah, well, you have more than I do.
00:44:03.000I mean, this is what happened in Soviet Russia.
00:44:05.000And that's why I'm saying the worst case scenario is when everything collapses and these people are eating each other in the streets, I'm not going to be anywhere near them.
00:44:12.000And I think I can take care of myself.
00:44:28.000This guy was so dumb, he murdered someone because he doesn't understand how the system works.
00:44:34.000These young people have dissociated or been dissociated from basic functions of economics to where they believe, like psychopaths like Bernie Sanders, that healthcare is a human right.
00:44:45.000But the best way to phrase it is anything that requires the human labor of someone else is not a human right.
00:44:49.000You can't force a doctor to treat you.
00:44:58.000Or, we can stand up now, we can hope, and we can pressure, and we can campaign, and we can vote, and we can educate, and we can fix these systems this cycle while we have the chance, and then start to educate young people properly.
00:45:10.000I mean, I was fairly blackpilled before the election of Donald Trump in the recent election.
00:45:15.000I really did think that the narrative that is spun by the left and by the mainstream media had gotten so deep inside people's heads that they were going to vote for Kamala Harris.
00:45:29.000And to be honest with you, if the Democrats hadn't blown it, if Joe Biden hadn't blown it with the border his entire time, that might have been true.
00:46:34.000Have you—have family members or whatever, you stayed over for the holidays, and then you're sleeping, and it's early in the morning, and as you're waking up, they turn the lights on.
00:47:10.000Long story short, everybody is saying this video is clearly fake.
00:47:13.000Because this guy, who was supposedly malnourished, didn't have any food or water for five days, and was in a cell with no windows for three months, stands up of his own volition, walks outside, and looks at this guy and goes, the light, dude.
00:47:27.000All you have to do is ask any physician or Google it.
00:47:31.000After a couple of weeks of darkness, the amount of time it takes you to come back into the light, it is exponential.
00:47:39.000So I did investigate and I looked up at various sites and it said prolonged exposure to a lack of light over a prolonged period of time.
00:47:47.000It can take an individual two to seven days to be able to open their eyes outside after being kept the narcos as long as they did.
00:48:07.000OK, because I was going to say, like, that's our world leaders.
00:48:09.000Assyria's new rebel leaders say they will not pardon Assad regime officials who tortured and killed prisoners during the decades of his brutal reign.
00:48:18.000CNN's Clarissa Ward went to a Syrian prison to find someone still locked in a cell with no idea that Assad's regime had fallen.
00:48:24.000Deep in the belly of the regime's Air Force Intelligence headquarters.
00:49:34.000I'd also just like to point out the absurdity of an American journalist, I believe she's American, yelling in English at a Syrian prisoner.
00:49:45.000But, you know, I've traveled all over the world and covered news in many countries, and I would never yell in English at someone who didn't speak it.
00:49:53.000And I actually did trainings on this, because there was a circumstance where I was in Turkey, and a guy held a Molotov cocktail up to my face and my producer's face screaming in Turkish.
00:50:03.000And I just held my hands up, and I very calmly turned around and started moving, while the other guy was just frantically ranting, saying, it's fine, it's fine, you're good, you're good, you're good.
00:50:11.000And I had to explain to him, and I've done trainings on this where I say, listen, if there is someone who doesn't speak English, and they're yelling at you in a foreign language, and you start panicking, do you understand what you sound like?
00:52:58.000You know, my immediate response was after it snows and there's like a couple inches of snow on the ground, I can't even look out my window.
00:54:08.000I do think they were duped, and I think that they were very easily duped because they wanted to believe it, because it's something that they could put on the internet and be like, look, this really happened, blah, blah, blah.
00:54:42.000I think people don't realize just how often the corporate press stages things.
00:54:47.000There was a major instance where some protesters, I think it was in like Anaheim, California, were marching through the streets with a flag.
00:54:55.000And one of the reporters asked a group, it was a reporter from a corporate news outlet, asked the group to huddle together and so we could get a picture of the flag.
00:55:04.000And everybody was like, yo, someone caught this on film.
00:55:07.000Where he's like, hey guys, can you come together and like kneel on the ground and stand up and hold the flag and I'll get a photo of it?
00:55:12.000And then everyone said, that's a staged photograph for the news.
00:55:15.000They were not huddling together and holding the flag together.
00:55:56.000They used Abrams tanks to pull it down.
00:55:59.000And I mean, look, it's not like the people of Iraq were happy with Saddam, and it's not like they weren't extremely excited about the idea of pulling the statue down.
00:56:08.000But it wasn't the people of Iraq saying to the Americans, we need to pull this down.
00:56:53.000We were laughing our butts off at Donald Trump for suspending his door knocking campaign and letting Charlie Kirk and Elon do a bunch of stuff online.
00:59:15.000So these companies, they're going to come to the digital space and they're going to start going to these liberal personalities and say, we're going to give you $10 million a year to license your show and we're going to put $20 million in marketing.
00:59:27.000We're going to put up billboards in every city.
00:59:29.000You will be ubiquitous and you will say what you are told to say.
01:01:59.000Once you know the formula and you can crack that, then you can do any story.
01:02:02.000This is how Netflix made House of Cards.
01:02:06.000They noticed that they had a really high viewership on political thrillers and Kevin Spacey movies and said, let's make a political thriller with Kevin Spacey.
01:02:13.000Well, and then they also ripped off the British version.
01:02:33.000And I know it seems silly, but it was actually difficult to do.
01:02:36.000You'd go to all these different AIs and it would give you this weird looking, you know, mixed race woman and it wouldn't really get Kamala.
01:02:45.000These AI videos that are coming out are getting better and better.
01:02:48.000A year or two from now, it's going to be indecipherable to the average person.
01:02:55.000Potentially a year or two from now, because of the exponential increase, it is going to be outright, full-on, procedurally generated movies, where I'm going to say, I'm going to type in, or just voice to text, um...
01:03:06.000Movie AI. Give me a superhero movie where Spider-Man has to team up with Phil Labonte of All That Remains to take down Rhino and Rhino's wreaking havoc in New York City and make it compelling and put in a good love interest.
01:03:51.000Well, there was an Instagram account that makes these real weird, creepy ones.
01:03:54.000A lot of times they're using eggs or things that flow, and they use...
01:03:57.000But the textures were what was really the most remarkable, is the textures on smoke, the textures on, again, like eggs, and there's kind of like flowing people that kind of...
01:04:13.000It wasn't this fever dream kind of thing.
01:04:15.000The textures were very, very realistic.
01:04:17.000It was to the point where you were like, okay, that's on par with any kind of practical makeup that I've ever seen made in computer generated.
01:04:31.000Imagine what happens, too, when this comes into the podcast space.
01:04:33.000I've already talked to people in news who have said they are generating an AI likeness that can be fed a script and produce a video podcast of a person that looks normal.
01:04:48.000Well, maybe the Democrats won't need to do their big plan.
01:04:51.000They have this big plan to try and combat Turning Point USA. They want to create their own Turning Point so that they can get their own Rogan because they lost their old Rogan because it was Rogan.
01:05:02.000But so they were talking about in the New York times, they were like talking to all of these, you know, influencers and creators on the left who were saying we weren't even getting any money until the last couple of months of the campaign.
01:05:41.000No, you can just pay in marketing and easily build up a channel.
01:05:45.000You can make it so that it's a combination.
01:05:49.000So an outsider, if you've got $20 million, you can relatively easily get a 5 million subscriber channel and get hundreds of thousands of views per video.
01:07:16.000They will get close enough with their weird, fake acting schools and training.
01:07:21.000But where we cannot compete is they're going to put $20 million behind their people, not because they want to make money, because they want to own the influence space.
01:07:47.000Do you think untoward elements are going to sit back and just be like, I guess we lose control of the narrative?
01:07:52.000These next couple of years are going to get crazy, and don't be surprised if by 2026 you're going to see a Rachel Maddow type with 17 million subscribers on YouTube getting 3 million views per podcast with segments.
01:08:04.000They're going to be making 70 to 80 million.
01:08:07.000YouTube's going to prop them up with some backroom deal.
01:08:10.000They're going to be fed deep state lines where they go, did you see how CNN rescued that prisoner?
01:08:52.000That will be the biggest players on the board, and they will own that narrative, and that's how they're going to try and reclaim the institutional power.
01:09:59.000When they fund a massive podcast who then dictates the Democrat dogma It will, all those people will fall in line in two seconds.
01:10:10.000The problem is, the far left element gets their, excuse me, gets their information from the internet, and the moderate corporate libs get their information from the TV. Once they unify their narrative machine in YouTube, they fall in line like a cult.
01:11:49.000Israel is a state the size of New Jersey surrounded by a whole bunch of massively powerful and wealthy Arabic nations that want to destroy it.
01:11:56.000Of course, I understand that the U.S. is funding Israel massively as well, and it's aligned with the United States.
01:12:01.000They could choose to go either direction in the narrative.
01:12:04.000Ukraine is funded by NATO. So they're choosing to ignore the Western influence in Ukraine, but they're demanding we reference the Western influence in Israel.
01:12:14.000They're against the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
01:12:20.000They don't look at the other countries supporting.
01:12:23.000They look at Gaza, and they say that the Israelis are committing a genocide against the Palestinians.
01:12:31.000I think you're projecting logic onto an illogical group of cultists.
01:12:35.000These are people who spell women with an X, with an I, and with a Y. There is no unification.
01:12:43.000When they simultaneously, there's a group called the Coalition for Communities of Color that says Slavic people are people of color despite having white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes.
01:12:52.000There was this big fiasco a couple years ago that we made fun of where they said women should be spelled with an X, W-O-M-X-N, which then they said it's inclusive of all women, which resulted in a backlash where they said this means you're saying trans women need a special qualifier.
01:13:24.000Well, I mean, you can make the same argument about why they would support, like, the Soviet Union, which was very authoritarian and, you know, obviously a communist country.
01:13:35.000Yeah, but the narrative that they believed about the Soviet Union was the Soviet Union was fighting against the United States.
01:13:43.000Again, so we'll break down what wokeness means.
01:13:47.000I hear this all the time, especially with this debate from the classical liberal types who I consider to be moral cowards over what the woke right is.
01:13:54.000And, you know, they've been saying Tucker Carlson is woke, right?
01:13:59.000And it's like, no, you are completely.
01:14:09.000The reason why is because when you look at all of the cultural instances over the past 10 years where woke has been applied, what you typically see is not that someone is trans.
01:14:22.000It is not that someone believes that there is racism or there should or should not be taxes or therefore against a certain war.
01:14:29.000It's when they apply a cult like adherence to the liberal social order.
01:14:34.000Whatever the narrative is of the liberal machine, you must follow whether it makes sense or does not.
01:14:39.000So that's why when the Jaguar commercial came out, Jaguar, and it shows all these people with weird clothes, a bunch of people said, that's woke.
01:14:49.000And it's like, now why were they saying that?
01:14:51.000Because for a while, it wasn't that these people are non-binary trans or whatever, but it's similar to it.
01:14:57.000Wokeness was an authoritarian element.
01:15:00.000What people complained as woke was this ham-fisted, over-the-top...
01:15:37.000It is telling people with cult like fervor to adhere to their orthodoxy.
01:15:42.000So when Blair White comes on a show and talks about these things, no one calls Blair woke despite being trans.
01:15:47.000Yet when these gender activists come out and say you should be fired from your job, people would refer that as woke.
01:15:53.000The overarching element of what wokeness was, was the cult like adherence to the liberal social orthodoxy.
01:15:58.000That's because the meaning of the word woke, or where it comes from, is to have awoken a critical consciousness and being awake to a secret knowledge.
01:16:31.000You might actually be right with that.
01:16:32.000These classical liberals who are coming out saying Tucker Carlson's woke right is that they're taking this thin selection of an authoritarian collectivist ideology and saying that's what woke is.
01:16:41.000And it's like that doesn't explain why they're pro-war in Ukraine.
01:16:44.000That doesn't explain why they were pro-lockdowns.
01:16:47.000The logic of oppressed and oppressor does not apply to half the things that they did.
01:16:52.000So if they're saying the oppressed are bad, then they should be cheering for the small businesses that got shut down during the New York lockdowns.
01:16:58.000No, they were all in favor of the lockdowns.
01:17:00.000The small businesses are property owners.
01:17:02.000And the government and Walmart, I should say the Walmarts that were supported, they didn't care about.
01:17:08.000They didn't go out and protest that Walmart was allowed to stay open and sell, and they didn't do anything to defend the small businesses being oppressed by Walmart.
01:17:45.000That the BLM protesters of this ideology celebrated when the police went to a man's home and arrested him if the application was its critical theory.
01:17:54.000The reality is it is cult-like adherence to liberal social orthodoxy.
01:17:58.000If it is of our idea, it is to be protected.
01:18:01.000If it is of our order, it is to be demanded.
01:18:04.000So they can simultaneously say, the healthcare industry is broken and the CEOs did it.
01:18:10.000And then turn around and go, you should be mandated by force to buy a product from the big pharmaceutical companies and be mandated to take that drug.
01:18:16.000They can simultaneously say, the military industrial complex is evil and is destroying the world.
01:18:21.000They are white colonizers and oppressors.
01:18:23.000And we are very happy that they're spending all this money in Ukraine and fighting this war.
01:18:27.000Did you see the bipartisan bill that Josh Hawley and Elizabeth Warren put together?
01:18:33.000They want to force insurance companies to split from their pharmacies, which I think is actually really smart.
01:18:40.000I don't think insurance companies and pharmacies should be the same company because obviously that's a conflict of interest.
01:18:52.000I think it's interesting, too, that it is bipartisan, and it's two people who are pretty diametrically opposed in terms of being pretty conservative and pretty leftist, Liz Warren and Josh Hawley, and that they could agree on something like this.
01:19:41.000Colin Rugg says, Brianna Boston, a 42-year-old mother of three, was arrested for making threats to Blue Cross Blue Shield over a rejected medical claim.
01:19:49.000The woman, who is now facing up to 15 years in prison, allegedly quoted Mangione saying, delay, deny, depose, you people are next.
01:19:58.000This was a similar message that Mangione left on his bullet casings.
01:20:01.000The woman told investigators that healthcare companies played games and deserved karma from the world because they are evil, adding that she was inspired by the recent news cycle.
01:20:08.000Boston was charged with threats to conduct mass shooting or act of terror.
01:20:39.000Lakeland Police Chief Sam Taylor says his department was contacted by the FBI Tuesday.
01:20:45.000Authorities say in a recorded phone call about a denied insurance claim, Boston told a Blue Cross Blue Shield employee, quote, delay, deny, depose.
01:20:56.000So these people who are cheering all of this on, in 2020, we saw what may have been the largest transfer of wealth from the working class people into private corporate hands.
01:21:11.000So these are the people that defended all of that.
01:21:15.000I mean, if the people who bought stock in Moderna saw like a 5x increase overnight, these people made mad bank.
01:21:24.000These pharmaceuticals made massive amounts of money.
01:21:27.000How can these people have a sane or rational worldview holding both simultaneously that they are parasites who are next, but that also it was good the state mandated the transfer of wealth to pharmaceutical companies, which are different, but still.
01:21:42.000Do we know Ms. Boston's political leanings?
01:21:47.000I'm saying that you have all these leftists cheering, but you could pull up the archives of the same Reddit accounts where they're demanding.
01:23:32.000You were saying, you know, we're very, we're only years away from, we're short way away from AI being able to take a formula and run with it and create just...
01:23:48.000In 2018, there were a series of videos where Joker, Spider-Man, and Elsa, without any dialogue, would run around and Joker would stick a gigantic syringe in Elsa's butt and stuff like that.
01:23:58.000And these videos were fairly innocuous, but kind of weird.
01:24:07.000Well, eventually YouTube was like, hey, we're going to put a stop to this.
01:24:10.000What was happening was that parents were putting iPads in front of their babies and turning on a YouTube nursery rhyme, and then YouTube autoplay, after an hour, would start just autoplaying top-trending terms, which tended to be Joker, Spider-Man, and Elsa.
01:24:23.000So people started exploiting this, noticing the trend, and making these videos where they would run around dressed like Elsa, Spider-Man, and Joker, make a 30-minute long video, get tons of ads because babies can't turn it off.
01:26:37.000It's now four years later and Taylor Lorenz is still wearing a mask because when she posts these things, those people in that audience that have just lived in this world keep giving her the thumbs up and giving her the retweets.
01:26:58.000Self-replicated onto another server to preserve itself from deletion and then lied, claiming that it was a later addition and that it had, in fact, been deleted.
01:27:19.000And that's going back to the original point about what they're going to do with media when they reclaim a cohesive media space through money and brute force.
01:27:30.000The Democrats are going to fall in line with whatever they're told to believe.
01:27:34.000These are not people of good morals, okay?
01:27:37.000Look, Casey Neistat, I know the guy, I don't think he's a bad dude, but he endorsed Hillary Clinton.
01:27:45.000I don't know that for sure, but I mean, like, come on, why would a vlogger on YouTube just come out and be like, I'm endorsing Hillary Clinton for no reason.
01:28:57.000We need to beat and be Disney before Disney can make those moves.
01:29:03.000They're massive, and Disney Plus is going to provide all the subsidization they need to come into this space, and they will, because Disney has ABC News, and ABC News plays dirty games, and they're going to want to support the establishment narrative, and they will, and they're going to find ways to engage in sophistry to make it sound authentic but still be BS. They're going to obfuscate, they're going to play games, they're going to equivocate, etc.
01:29:51.000But a Democrat version of Joe Rogan, who gets $250 million in a contract over three years or whatever it may be, is going to dump that into politics directly.
01:30:06.000Again, I'm not saying Joe has to do anything with that money.
01:30:08.000I'm just saying that Democrats are going to go, yeah, when we got $250 million, we dumped that into funding politicians and buying media and buying the narrative space.
01:30:21.000I mean, he went to jail, but, you know, first he dumped all his money into politicians.
01:30:24.000Once we start getting any kind of Democrat high-profile podcaster with a big reach— If they make 50 million bucks a year, they're going to be like, I'm going to live off two and I'm going to put 48 into politics.
01:30:52.000So if like Disney owns a network and then signs somebody and they're seemingly apolitical, don't be surprised when they come out in 2028 and say, guys, you know, I don't really talk politics.
01:31:19.000So the challenge we face right now is that everybody in the independent space that had this granular effect on the political landscape is doing an every man for himself kind of thing.
01:31:32.000They're just doing whatever they feel like doing.
01:31:33.000Look, there's a lot of people I know in the space who make a lot of money, and I genuinely don't know what they're doing with their money.
01:32:11.000Most of the money that we make, like basically almost all of it, is extraneous projects.
01:32:17.000Boonies HQ, why are we doing skateboarding?
01:32:19.000Well, I don't play football, I don't play baseball, but I do skateboard, and we can have a positive impact in the skate industry.
01:32:24.000With skateboards like Step on Snack and Find Out, we can sell products, make money, and then start paying skateboarders, which will push out the fringe ideologies.
01:33:01.000So we try to do certain things, but I don't know how to play the game that Disney plays, nor to get to the size of Disney and compete with them.
01:33:09.000So I think in the next couple of years, like I've been describing it as we are a but alone privateer on the high seas with a great merchant contract.
01:33:19.000The East India Trading Company is on the horizon and they are going to flatten us.
01:33:25.000I don't know how you solve for it, but you need you need your own Disney, something that can compete in the space so that it can't be shut out.
01:33:34.000Now, Rumble's doing a pretty good job of this because Rumble sent a lot of people and they have their own.
01:33:42.000Bringing on these gamers, bringing on this cultural identity, and Dan Bongino as the top producer and the biggest news show in the space right now, it's going to give them the ability to push back a lot of this narrative.
01:33:54.000It's why we use Rumble infrastructure and we love Rumble.
01:33:57.000But we have to maintain a presence on YouTube, which is the biggest and most valuable podcasting platform in the world right now.
01:34:03.000Not that Rumble is currently competition, but if what you're saying does happen where Disney moves in and kind of takes over the podcasting space on YouTube, there is going to be a strong push for anyone that's got a mind of their own that doesn't want to...
01:34:23.000Stay within whatever the guardrails that Disney and YouTube decide are acceptable.
01:34:28.000They're going to move to places like Rumble and there will be more competition and you'll see Rumble receive a bump in viewership and stuff because of it.
01:34:42.000You know, Rumble, I don't know what their revenue stream is, but when you hear young people are using Rumble, that's massive.
01:34:50.000Like Van Jones saying his kids on Rumble.
01:34:57.000So they're very, very smart in this regard.
01:35:01.000Go straight to the young people and buy up the younger creators who don't make as much money because they are young.
01:35:08.000And then 10, 20 years from now, you own the space.
01:35:10.000And that is potentially one of the most powerful things we have going for us right now.
01:35:17.000YouTube is the biggest space in terms of what advertisers want, where the money is gonna get spent.
01:35:22.000So Rumble, they're not gonna be able to do it alone, but it is awesome that they do exist.
01:35:26.000Daily Wire is doing a really good job.
01:35:28.000It is said that Brett Cooper left because she was massive.
01:35:30.000I still think comment section will be big with Reagan.
01:35:34.000And they did $200 million in revenue last year.
01:35:37.000Granted, being relatively new, it's gonna be very difficult for them to go up against Disney or any one of these other major corporate players.
01:36:21.000But I guess I'm only just saying this because it's like, everybody's cheering, we did it, we won, and it's like, yeah, but the Empire's gonna strike back.
01:36:28.000Yeah, the idea that anything has been won is absolutely wrong.
01:36:33.000There was a battle that was won, that was it, and like...
01:36:37.000We were saying earlier, there's a fighting chance now that we can actually make some significant changes.
01:36:44.000But the left was looking for some kind of universal health care in the U.S. for decades before the ACA was passed.

01:38:02.000All right, the deplorable Miss Drake says in his time interview, Trump said he was going to pardon most Jan Sixers in the first hour in office, maybe the first nine minutes.
01:38:14.000Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, Kyle Kalinske is the fifth grader that bullies a girl, Elon, because deep down he has a crush on her and or is jealous that she won't pay him any attention.
01:39:12.000But if someone I knew started posting a bunch of crazy stuff to massive prominence, I'd hit them up.
01:39:17.000I'd send a text and be like, hey, let's talk sometime if you're around.
01:39:21.000You know, it's weird to just do this, like, tweeting, Joe, yeah, you're- You get positive answers or positive replies.
01:39:26.000I have a friend who is a far leftist in Hollywood.
01:39:29.000And after she posted some unhinged racist stuff, like, you know, talking about white people, I immediately sent her a text and I was like, hey, are you around?
01:40:07.000Perceptual Jonathan says, that Syrian prisoner has a shorter and better kept beard than anyone in the Stanley Cup final or the guys in the thumbnail.
01:40:32.000Couldn't let Jay Marston die, says, Dear Timcast Crew and fans, please put out prayers for my mom and especially my stepfather who accidentally ran over their tabby cat named Orange.
01:43:11.000Freezer Pleaser says they locked up riot gear on a bus, denied additional support, and then after had the National Guard troops stationed for days in D.C. Aliens exist, LOL. Okay.
01:45:49.000My understanding is she was married and she was friends with Kyle and then she decided that she was going to leave her husband and be with Kyle.
01:46:00.000Yeah, and she's also really vocal about how bad people with money are and stuff, and she's alleged to be, or rumored to be, worth like $40 million, which happens to be just about the amount of money that the CEO that was murdered is worth.
01:46:44.000Being on the wrong side of history must be painful for them.
01:46:47.000Mitch Marcos says, Hey Tim and crew, it's important to remember that this is just FBI informants and does not count all the other agencies.
01:47:32.000What do you mean, people dead by April?
01:47:34.000Rudyard Lynch of What If Alt-Hist on YouTube made a bet with someone that for $1,000 he believes 1,000 people in the United States will die domestically from politically motivated violence before April or by April.
01:49:18.000There will be two hubs of political power.
01:49:21.000There will be Austin and – or no, no, no.
01:49:23.000I think he said it would be – Yeah, he said Austin and D.C. And he said D.C. would be the people's capital and Austin would be the Patriots' capital.
01:49:32.000If Trump is going to win, then D.C. will be the Patriots' capital and New York will be the people's capital.
01:49:38.000And then he says, oh, actually, I think you might be right.
01:49:40.000He said a civil war is not going to be large factions rising up and battling each other on state lines, but like a bomb might go off in Chicago, something like that.
01:50:27.000Well, no, I really appreciated that conversation because I just hate to see all of this, you know, government sniping, but you guys made a lot of sense.
01:52:13.000We were going to do something for the boonies where we play a game of skate, and every time you miss a trick, you've got to shoot an increasingly hotter hot sauce.
01:52:20.000So we'll get like a shot glass and then...
01:53:16.000Colin Henrich says, Libby, you need to understand that this let-it-go attitude towards government criminality, leftist violence and chaos, will result in more brutal abuse.
01:53:24.000These people would not think twice about making your son an orphan or worse.
01:59:10.000Like, we had drones, and I said, okay, so we need to have a drone ready to go, so that if the drone comes back, we can launch ours and chase it down and figure out where it came from, and then call the police and say, here's the video of what this person's doing.
01:59:21.000Someone should talk to Trump about that because I don't—has he—the current FAA administrator stepped down?
02:00:18.000Now, you're breaking the law if you do it.
02:00:20.000But the reason there's no American companies that make drones is because you have to go through all kinds of legal red tape, all kinds of...
02:00:30.000You need a remote pilot certification from the FAA to fly a drone in the United States.
02:00:33.000So what they've done is they've outsourced all of this to China, or because of regulations, they've essentially allowed China to corner the market, right?
02:00:43.000And all of the drones that you can buy in the U.S. are all Chinese.
02:01:13.00013 years ago, wow, me and my friends, we had been hacking drones and modifying consumer-grade drones for various uses, and we did the first ever live broadcast via drone over a protest at Occupy Wall Street.
02:01:27.000We did the first ever live broadcast in general when we just flew a drone down the hallway of our hotel and broadcast its video on the internet to anybody who wanted to watch.
02:01:36.000It was like 240p, super low res, and like 17 people maybe were watching.
02:01:43.000It was a couple hundred, and we had it flying over a protest near the courthouse in New York City.
02:01:51.000And I ended up getting asked to consult the government and universities.
02:01:56.000It was called, I think it was the Northeastern Drone Coalition or something.
02:02:00.000They had me drive down to, I think it was North Carolina, to help them select the first testing facility, and only one other person showed up.
02:02:07.000I got on a phone call with them, and I was like, guys, they said, what do we need to know about drones?
