In this episode of Adam Ruins Everything, the boys discuss the recent shooting of a judge in the Epstein case, a YouTube glitch that shut down the show, and a story about an assassination attempt on a FedEx delivery man.
00:02:45.000Because look, before we started this, we're going to talk about what's going on with the Epstein stuff.
00:02:51.000And a little bit as it pertains to finances, because I got to be honest.
00:02:55.000You know, Adam's like, they're gonna shut us down, you know?
00:02:59.000We literally had the conversation about it right before we decided to do this as the story earlier today, and I was like, I don't know, it feels like, and he's like, no, I did a video.
00:04:49.000One of the videos they removed of mine just was like an image.
00:04:54.000So, like, when you go in the YouTube studio, you see a list of all your videos and the metrics, and you highlight it, and when you highlight it, it, like, changes color, and then you can click things and go into it.
00:05:03.000But when they did this to me, when YouTube just, like, fast removed a video, you couldn't highlight anything.
00:05:09.000It was almost like it was just a background image that wasn't actually there.
00:05:12.000And there was no stats, there was no links, it was just a video and it said the name, and you couldn't click it.
00:05:17.000Yeah, that was that was during the weird CIA whistleblower phase of the impeachment, you know, all that Ukraine stuff.
00:05:53.000This guy's, you know... Rest in peace.
00:05:54.000I mean this with all due respect to Michael Hastings and his family and everything, but... He was...
00:06:00.000According to the story, worried about someone tampering with his car, asked to borrow someone else's car, panicked, and then like a day later, his car was going 70 miles an hour down the road, slammed into a tree, and some apparently experts said it sounded like a car hack.
00:06:13.000This guy was doing some like deep investigation, and I'll tell you why journalism is dead in this country, and many parts of the world.
00:06:20.000It's because of stories like the one we're about to tell you.
00:06:24.000As I said a moment ago, A FedEx delivery driver.
00:07:16.000They say, The FBI has identified a self-described anti-feminist lawyer as the primary subject in a brutal attack against the home of a federal judge in New Jersey that killed her 20-year-old son and injured her husband.
00:07:26.000In a tweet on Monday, the FBI's branch in Newark, New Jersey said that Roy Den Hollander, who is known for pursuing legal claims alleging discrimination against men, was the main target in its investigation into the deadly Sunday shooting at the home of Judge Esther Salas.
00:07:41.000The FBI confirmed that Dan Hollander was dead after media reports said he had been found in New York State.
00:07:47.000Last week, Judge Salas, who was not hurt in the assault, had been assigned to oversee a lawsuit filed by investors against Deutsche Bank.
00:07:54.000They alleged that the bank had made false and misleading statements with regards to its anti-money laundering practices, and had improperly monitored high-risk customers, including the late, disgraced Epstein.
00:08:06.000Authorities have not linked the shooting to the Deutsche Bank case.
00:08:11.000The FBI has not offered any motive for the attack.
00:08:15.000Attorney General on Monday, said this kind of lawless, evil action carried out against a member of the federal judiciary will not be tolerated.
00:08:22.000Judge Salas and her family are in our thoughts at this time as they cope with this senseless act, Phil Murphy, the governor of New Jersey, wrote on Twitter.
00:08:30.000According to CNN, the gunman was disguised as a FedEx delivery driver, opened fire as soon as the door of the home was opened.
00:08:39.000Salas' 20-year-old son, was fatally struck.
00:08:42.000Mark Anderle, a criminal defense attorney, was taken to the hospital near their home in North Brunswick, New Jersey.
00:08:46.000Judge Salas had dealt with Den Hollander in the past, as he was pursuing a case challenging the male-only military draft in the U.S.
00:08:55.000Bob Menendez, the Democratic Senator from New Jersey, said he knew Judge Salas and her husband well, and had been proud to recommend her to Barack Obama for the judicial post, which she took up nine years ago.
00:09:06.000My prayers are with Judge Salas and her family, and that those responsible for this horrendous act are swiftly apprehended and brought to justice, Mr. Menendez said.
00:09:14.000You know the story of Senator Menendez?
00:09:24.000It's my general understanding, and based on... I'm being very legally careful here.
00:09:29.000Based on my readings of the news and what I remember of them, which could be wrong, it's been a long time and I haven't pulled it up, Senator Menendez was accused of engaging in adult activities with women under the age of 18 in, I think, where was it?
00:10:24.000He's a men's rights lawyer, you know, he's suing for men and, you know, to get this, it's a difference between targeting feminists and supporting men.
00:10:32.000I guess the media doesn't make that distinction or whatever.
00:10:35.000It's entirely possible this has nothing to do with Epstein and the only reason this is coming up is because someone noticed she just received this case and are trying to connect it because it's a salacious story.
00:10:59.000A guy dressed as a lawyer, supporting men, for seemingly no reason, no relation to the story, I don't know or care, disguised himself, went to a judge's house, killed her son, injured her husband.
00:11:18.000Suspect in shooting of Judge's family found dead of apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound, multiple law enforcement sources tell ABC News.
00:11:26.000The deceased suspect was an attorney who had a case before Judge Salas in 2015.
00:12:50.000That's why I want to talk about Michael Hastings, too, after this.
00:12:52.000Because, you know, I've had a lot of people over the past years tell me that when you enter the political fray and start talking about, you know, politicians, support for, opposition to, you become targeted in varying degrees of severity.
00:13:09.000So like, if, you know, what I do, I'm basically like, well, you know, the Democrats kind of suck.
00:13:14.000That's not the most egregious thing, but the level of influence, the amount of views I get, is an issue.
00:13:19.000So what happens is you get smeared, they try to discredit you.
00:13:23.000When you become an actual political operative and are actually doing bigger, high-profile things, the smears are substantially worse.
00:13:29.000When you start doing crazy stuff that actually gets people elected, all of a sudden then you get criminal probes, you get, you know, serious criminal investigations.
00:13:43.000Criminal enforcement and judging overseeing very serious cases.
00:13:47.000Now people are gonna want to send a message, man.
00:13:49.000You know, it's one thing to be like, hey, Democrats are bad.
00:13:52.000It's another thing to be like, I would like to issue a ruling of discovery in this Jeffrey Epstein banking case so we can see everybody who was involved in these financial transactions and have some high-ranking officials from Deutsche Bank sit in that chair and tell me everybody who transferred money and why.
00:14:08.000Then all of a sudden the judge overseeing the case has a dead son.
00:14:12.000Then the guy is found in upstate New York, apparently, of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
00:14:17.000I didn't even hear about that until I came down and you were like, so this is what we're gonna talk about.
00:14:21.000I'm like, okay, and then you drop that.
00:14:35.000The FBI Newark said the FBI has identified Roy Denhollander as the primary subject in the attack that occurred at the home of the Honorable Esther Sellis.
00:16:29.000So, uh, when whatever Ghislaine, I repronounce her name, whatever, Maxwell gets arrested, then, uh, a lot of people are saying my mic is really low.
00:18:33.000Well, that's what Virginia was saying.
00:18:35.000I don't know if you remember Virginia, but they were she's saying that if if sorry, there's a bug.
00:18:41.000She's saying that if Miss Maxwell gets up in front of everybody, she could name some really, really significant names that would change everything.
00:18:47.000So I'm really curious what happens now.
00:18:50.000I think I have some speculation as to what's going to happen.
00:19:01.000And I think when it came to Epstein, everybody said it and it was a joke and then it happened.
00:19:07.000And then no one believes what they're telling us.
00:19:11.000And then I actually saw an interesting tweet.
00:19:13.000I don't remember who sent it out there.
00:19:15.000They were saying if If he did do it to himself, I'm going to be careful with my words, if he did do that, and that's what the story is, why would they be treating Ghislaine like she's in danger?
00:19:31.000Yeah, so somebody mentioned... Can you look that up?
00:19:53.000I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, when, when, you know, just because they're, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you.
00:22:12.000You know, we're just, we're just like in, I mentioned this before, like we're in fallout three and we're just the wasteland radio, like playing in the background.
00:22:18.000Someone, someone's off doing the adventure, tracking this stuff, the actual investigators.
00:22:22.000But wasn't there, um, something to do with the head lawyer or judge in New York state that was replaced?
00:22:32.000The Southern District of New York's, what was his name, Bremer?
00:22:49.000And then the left said that this was Bill Barr trying to cover things up because this dude who got removed was on the level and going after Trump.
00:22:58.000When... The right says that this guy was shielding them and Epstein died while he was the prosecutor.
00:23:36.000So the question is, if Epstein, you know, ended himself, then why would they be moving Maxwell around and keeping her under super high security?
00:24:01.000They're worried about assassination attempts, and an assassin just showed up and killed the son of a judge that was overseeing a lawsuit for Epstein's finances.
00:24:11.000Look man, let me level with all you guys.
00:24:14.000Hold on, not only that, they continued working with him after he got in trouble.
00:24:20.000And that's what they're being investigated by because they continued to work with him even though he was being prosecuted for what he was doing.
00:25:04.000I'm not a big fan of conspiracy theories in any capacity because people like to make assumptions.
00:25:10.000And then when you do, it actually makes it harder to figure out.
00:25:13.000And you also have to be careful because when there are actual conspiracies, they're going to throw you red herrings on purpose so that you say something dumb.
00:25:22.000And then as soon as you do, you're off the trail.
00:26:26.000The problem is, it took only one person, probably some, it could be, it could, look, it could range from some dumb person in their basement laughing, being like, I'm gonna make this up and press enter, to an intelligence, you know, agency or a state, you know, funded agency being like, let's throw him off our trail.
00:26:41.000And that's why conspiracy theories are a problem.
00:26:46.000So now we have stupid conspiracy theories, which make it impossible to actually track down who did what, because the whole thing's discredited, now you can't even talk about it.
00:26:59.000I mentioned earlier that one of the reasons why there's no real journalists is because of the threat to people's safety and stuff like that.
00:27:06.000But the other reason is just... People, well for one, money.
00:27:11.000Easier to make money doing other things.
00:27:15.000When someone throws false evidence and an internet community just gobbles it up like red meat, it creates this bubble, this echo chamber, that's not journalism.
00:27:26.000And so opportunists will chase after it to make money.
00:27:29.000They'll jump in the pit with everybody else.
00:27:31.000And then once everyone's in the pit, YouTube goes snip, chops it off and throws everyone in the ban list.
00:27:37.000You can actually do real journalism tracking this stuff.
00:27:39.000So I'll just say, man, you know, there are a lot of emails that got leaked, a lot of really weird stuff that may suggest weird things, and then fake news jumped in, and now the whole thing is a muddy mess of fake news that you can't actually break through.
00:28:10.000Yeah, well, that's kind of what I was going to talk about, and I have something pulled up here, and it's just, this is a quote from him.
00:28:19.000He's saying, my administration is putting unprecedented pressure on traffickers, home and abroad.
00:28:24.000He said during an event, he said, we have signed more legislation on human trafficking than any other administration has ever even thought about it.
00:28:32.000Of course it's a little, but he authorized over $400 million in fighting the issue.
00:28:39.000You know, and a lot of people I ask, you know, I asked a tweet a couple of weeks ago, like, what, what is it about Trump that you really like?
00:28:47.000And a lot of people said that that is the number one thing that he's fighting trafficking.
00:28:52.000There's this young woman who's going viral because apparently she got red-pilled on Trump running for traffickers.
00:29:02.000I'm just pointing out that a lot of people quickly jumped on it.
00:29:05.000She put a TikTok and she was saying, like, once you realize Trump is actually going after the traffickers, like, you kind of wake up to it.
00:29:18.000So I think it's fair to say For an average person, tracking what the Justice Department has done with Epstein, his history, the witnesses who have come out, this dude was trafficking.
00:29:29.000And so is, you know, Ghislaine or whatever, Maxwell.
00:29:33.000And they're being arrested and charged for these things because there's probable cause, there's evidence, they're going after him.
00:29:39.000From there, we can speculate as to all the people who flew on his plane, who've been on his island.
00:29:43.000And I believe that does include Donald Trump.
00:29:46.000There's a lot of photos of him with Epstein and, you know, a lot of other people, which leads the left to argue Trump is trying to cover up and the right saying he's trying to go after the guy.
00:29:55.000I think there was some lawyer who said that Donald Trump was the only person who actually said, my resources are at your disposal.
00:30:06.000He told the lawyer who was defending one of the victims.
00:30:08.000Trump was like, let me know what you need.
00:30:11.000So in my personal opinion, having seen a lot of these stories, you know, what's going on, I personally think that Trump is more likely to be going after these people and trying to get them.
00:30:25.000I've done extensive research on Donald Trump over the past month and all of the things that I've seen has shown me that he is absolutely against this and wants to bring them down.
00:32:47.000I can't tell you who did what or why, but I can tell you an investigation needs to be done beyond what they claim.
00:32:52.000I don't think it's fair to say that when it comes to cases like Epstein or otherwise, there's a lot of confidential and secret information and they're not going to tell you.
00:33:02.000But conspiracies harm the actual quest for truth because you have to make sure the evidence guides you and you don't leap forward and then work backwards.
00:33:11.000And that's the problem in my opinion with a lot of conspiracy theorists.
00:33:14.000Is they'll see a story like, you know, like Epstein and be like, I know who did it!
00:33:19.000And they'll choose their one politician they don't like, be it Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, and then try and work things back to prove what they think instead of starting somewhere and following the evidence and going down the path and then being like, wow, I can't believe it.
00:34:37.000The people who did that are the people who are like, go to journalism school and then can't find a job so they go to BuzzFeed and write about Brad Pitt's junk.
00:34:44.000I'm talking about people who actually were doing InfoSec, hacker community, high-profile stuff, and then at some point decided marketing was a way better idea.
00:35:37.000They say, at the end of his life, Michael Hastings, like many of the progressive journalists he counted among his friends, felt besieged by an overreaching government.
00:35:45.000Hastings was living in Los Angeles and at a Beverly Hills theater in April.
00:35:48.000He took part in a panel discussion about the documentary War on Whistleblowers, Free Press, and the National Security State.
00:35:54.000Interviewed in May on The Young Turks, a talk show on Current TV, well, it used to be, Hastings railed against the Obama administration, which has clearly declared war on the press.
00:36:03.000The only recourse, he said, was for the press to respond, we declare war on you.
00:36:07.000On May 31st, he dashed off an urgent tweet.
00:36:10.000First they came for Manning, then Assange, then Fox.
00:36:13.000Then the AP, Drake, and the other whistleblowers.
00:36:18.000He attended screenings of his friend Jeremy Scahill's film, Dirty Wars, which seeks to expose the hidden truth behind America's expanding covert wars.
00:36:29.000And when leaks about the NSA began appearing in The Guardian, Edward Snowden Oh, for Pete's sake.
00:37:31.000He was deeply agitated, says Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks.
00:37:34.000Since Hastings didn't want to say anything more over email or the phone, Farwell, who lived in Virginia, set up a lunch for him the following Thursday with a trusted friend.
00:37:44.000on Tuesday, June 18, Hastings' silver Mercedes C250 Coupe speeding south on Highland Avenue crossed Melrose, jumped the median, hit a palm tree, and exploded.
00:37:53.000The charred body of the driver was identified by the LA coroner as John Doe 117 until fingerprints confirmed that the deceased was Michael Hastings.
00:38:01.000Sergeant Joe Biggs, who met Hastings in 08, when the reporter was on assignment for GQ, was embedded with his unit in Afghanistan, hadn't spoken to his friend in three months.
00:38:09.000But Hastings had BCC'd him on the June 17th email to BuzzFeed colleagues.
00:38:13.000I tried calling him when I got that email, Biggs said, because I felt so effing scared, but it didn't seem like him.
00:38:26.000Biggs tried contacting other media to let them know about the ominous email.
00:38:30.000The only person who got back to him was a local LA reporter.
00:38:32.000If that thing didn't get released, Biggs told me, when I first called him two weeks after Hastings' death, people would keep thinking it was an accident.
00:39:12.000National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counterterrorism Richard A. Clark said that what is known about the crash is consistent with a car cyber attack.
00:39:21.000He was quoted as saying, There is reason to believe that intelligence agencies for
00:39:24.000major powers, including the U.S., know how to remotely seize control of a car.
00:39:28.000So if there were a cyber attack on Hastings' car, and I'm not saying there was,
00:39:32.000I think whoever did it would probably get away with it.
00:39:33.000I don't know if this was before or after.
00:40:23.000If these hackers, these researchers, figured out how to do this, and it was a very clever workaround because there's very few connections between the systems, what do you think state intelligence agencies could pull off?
00:41:26.000Well, when it comes to Brennan, I'm not going to get too much into it, but ask the Obamagate researchers, the people tracking the Trump spying scandal, Obamagate stuff about Brennan.
00:41:40.000And I can't derail into the whole Obamagate stuff right now, but I'm pretty sure everyone in the chat is going to light it up and be like, Brennan.
00:42:31.000But, you know, once you push a narrative, and not that I push a narrative because I'm very much like you where I want to know all sides, but I have made a decision on who I'm going to vote for and I've talked about it multiple times, you know, and it's like, They'll just ban you.
00:42:56.000The bigger thing I think someone like you would have to worry about, for those that probably aren't familiar, maybe you're just tuning in, Adam had this huge segment where you're announcing you're going to support Trump, and you're like a regular old urban default liberal, not super political.
00:43:10.000The bigger risk I think is far-left lunatics coming to your page, harassing you, smearing you, lying about you.
00:43:16.000And trying to get you banned from the internet.
00:43:18.000So, Adam did this video where he talked about voting for Trump, and then Facebook deleted it after millions of views.
00:43:49.000They say, The possibility of a conspiracy or some sort of government involvement in Hastings' death has been discounted by members of his own family, who were with him around the time of his death.
00:43:58.000Hastings' widow, Elise Jordan, has said she believes his death to be just a really tragic accident.
00:44:03.000Other members of his family have stated that they were concerned at the time that he was a danger to himself from his erratic behavior.
00:44:08.000His older brother Jonathan had just flown to LA attempting to organize some sort of
00:44:13.000family intervention for what he believed was a drug-induced manic episode, a concern apparently
00:44:18.000echoed by others close to him at the time.
00:44:21.000Maybe I'll defer, I'll defer completely to the family on these kinds of issues, but I'd
00:44:27.000have to imagine if I was working on a big story that was going to profile on another
00:44:48.000Look, I don't want to disrespect him or his family or anything they're saying, I'll defer, but, you know, from the outside, if a journalist starts acting crazy and freaking out because they found a crazy story, I mean, to me that makes sense.
00:44:59.000Especially with who they're dealing with.
00:45:01.000It is fair to say, though, I mean, people get paranoid and go crazy.
00:45:05.000I thought you said you were going to shut conspiracy theories down during this episode.
00:45:15.000I'm saying that, like, the reason they may have perceived him as being manic was because he was genuinely terrified of some, you know, big story uncovered.
00:47:15.000But what happens if you find, you know, so Town Hall says, yes, Joe Biden wants to defund the police.
00:47:20.000What happens then when you read that and then someone you know reads the other one, and now you both have a totally fractured view of reality?
00:47:27.000Well, and there's this video going around right now with all these celebrities.
00:47:31.000Facebook that I saw today that said look if you if you think that you know fake
00:47:37.000news exists you you have to do some digging check another news source and
00:47:41.000then check a different news source that's also trusted because then you'll
00:47:45.000kind of get to see what the real truth is and I'm just scratching my head like
00:47:48.000oh my gosh like that's so you that's exactly what they want you to do well
00:47:52.000Like, oh, go to this place and this place.
00:48:43.000Look at the actual speech of what he was talking about, and then go to all the trusted news sources that they would say, go check, and it's all whatever narrative they're pushing, which is go Biden, basically.
00:48:56.000There was a post from Eric Weinstein earlier.
00:48:59.000And he asked, he said that he's noticed a lot of people who are like liberal
00:49:03.000saying they're going to vote for Trump for one of two reasons, either his
00:49:06.000cognitive decline or because of the new experiment in policing where they
00:49:11.000actually don't in the Pacific Northwest.
00:49:38.000And then I was like, I get it, I dig it, and then I posted about it in a video.
00:49:43.000When I tweeted what Weinstein said about these liberals, not leftists, liberals, who are now jumping ship and going to Trump like in droves, I hear the same thing from all these lefty journalists.
00:49:54.000This one journalist was like, hipster coffee shop, am I right?
00:49:57.000And that's a meme that's basically saying, I went to a hipster coffee shop and I overheard them say this.
00:50:07.000And I'm like, if people like Adam, who was not super political, is now reading all this stuff and being like, yo, I'm gonna vote for Trump, then is that not enough?
00:50:15.000I'm not saying it's definitive data that Trump is winning.
00:51:05.000I said, what if the reason that, you know, I'll give you the gist of it.
00:51:08.000What if the reason that everything is so crazy in our country right now is because we're basically the only nation that can stop China's concentration camps?
00:52:25.000Vomitus to invoke, like I throw up on my mouth a little bit when he says, I don't get involved in the domestic politics of other countries.
00:52:34.000And realize that loading a bunch of people into a concentration camp and harvesting their organs was just a domestic policy issue you didn't want to get involved in.
00:54:17.000I mean, I'm really, really happy for him.
00:54:19.000For those that aren't familiar, Majid Nawaz is this very prominent speaker in London on the LBC, I guess it's a radio network.
00:54:26.000But he's like an intellectual dark web guy, so I'm sure many of you are familiar with him.
00:54:30.000He was on a hunger strike to try and get attention for a petition to get 100,000 signatures so that parliament would address the ongoing genocide in China with the Uighur Muslims, and he succeeded.
00:54:44.000And I've been thinking, you know, I was thinking about it earlier today after I saw this Ted Cruz thing.
00:54:49.000And I was thinking about, I was talking to some of my friends and I can't, I can't believe how many times I've been asking somebody about it and they go, wait, is that really happening?
00:55:19.000I'm not well-versed enough on the full, you know, thesis, the book, and all that stuff, but the general idea, my understanding is that when somebody, like a Nazi concentration camp, Nazi guard, says, I'm just following orders, and they carry out these atrocities, they're doing these evil things, but it's, you know, banality.
00:55:37.000It's not like they're, you know, And they're like, it's not Cobra where they're all like,
00:56:12.000And I was thinking like, I don't know if it's a lesser of two evils, but if Trump is taking action to pull us out of Afghanistan, and he's targeting China, that's our best hope of ending this genocide.
00:56:24.000And he's trying to end trafficking of humans.
00:56:42.000I mean, trust me, I've been in the middle of trying to explain myself to many, many people, and that's one of the... Actually, that is the number one thing that everybody comes to me.
00:56:53.000Well, how can you support such a racist?
00:57:02.000Even if Donald Trump was a racist, if he's trying to pull our troops back, I will take four years of a racist president if it means no more war in the Middle East.
00:57:09.000I don't believe that he is racist at all.
00:57:13.000But I was thinking about the banality of evil.
00:57:16.000These people who are out screaming and protesting and trying to put Biden in power, and Biden was part of the administration that bolstered the war front in the Middle East and North Africa, And the police-military state that we have here in America.
00:57:40.000But there's a few key things that I think are Good.
00:57:44.000Like, ending the war, going after China for their atrocities, trafficking, like, ending trafficking, and he did right by the economy, and those are really important things.
00:57:52.000So for all the criticisms you might have, that he's racist, he's bigoted, he's a loudmouth, braggart, lascivious, I'm like, yeah, that's all true.
00:57:59.000But I think about the net positives, and I think about your choice right now.
00:58:04.000You have Joe Biden, who literally is on camera groping young girls and sniffing them, and then you complain about Trump.
00:58:12.000Okay, well, Joe Biden takes that cake, baby.
00:58:14.000And what about, you know, Trump is war.
00:58:16.000It's like, actually, there's no new wars under Trump, and Joe Biden, he takes that cake, baby.
00:58:21.000And so you want to talk about money laundering and emoluments and racism.
00:58:59.000He got a 10% stake in some private equity firm or something like that.
00:59:02.000And I was like, you can talk about Trump flying over to these countries and doing a lot of things too, but right now Trump is absolutely in conflict with China.
01:01:02.000And so I was thinking about this because Glenn Greenwald is very much a
01:01:05.000progressive anti-war, also very anti-Trump, but he's also extremely critical
01:01:09.000of the establishment, called out all the Russiagate nonsense.
01:01:12.000And I'm thinking about this like, if you are anti-war, if, you know,
01:01:16.000Donald, Glenn Greenwald wrote this article saying that the establishment,
01:01:20.000including Liz Cheney, are blocking him from pulling out of the Middle East.
01:01:24.000He wants to pull our troops out of Afghanistan and Germany, and they said no, and there were eight Republicans and three Democrats.
01:01:29.000And I'm thinking to myself, I'm curious, Glenn, if you would consider supporting Trump because of this, because it will get the troops out of the Middle East.
01:01:40.000And Trump hasn't sent our troops anywhere, right?
01:01:45.000Who was it who wrote, at least there's no new wars?
01:01:48.000Yeah, some military commander was like, oh, well, he hasn't started any wars.
01:01:51.000I was very critical of the Tomahawk strike in Syria that Trump carried out a couple years ago.
01:01:55.000But my question now for these progressives is with Trump actually trying to end this war and bring our troops back.
01:02:02.000Is there an obligation among the left to actually support Trump?
01:02:05.000I ask this question because we were joking about this before.
01:02:08.000Like if I were to write a punk rock song right now that was anti-war, the chorus would have to be something about voting for Trump.
01:02:43.000All right, if you're going to wear a mask.
01:02:45.000I mean, it looks whatever, but now that he's announced it, how long do you think it's going to be until they're like, oh man, he's for masks?
01:03:47.000And the original title I was going to use, I decided not to because I'm more of a serious news personality, was Ingenious Move Democrats Support Riots Because Donald Trump Opposes Them.
01:04:00.000Like, it was a play on the Babylon Bees ingenious move Trump supports impeachment forcing Democrats to oppose.
01:05:28.000Acting like right-wing media or those that are critical of Antifa are trying to make it seem like the entirety of Portland is a giant fire pit of explosions and like, like Mad Max and like Escape from New York and people are on like dragsters throwing, come on man.
01:05:50.000I can't speak for any other conservative, I can't speak for conservative media.
01:05:54.000I can speak for the, whatever you want to call it, politically homeless, disaffected liberal channel that I host, where I've specifically said there are two federal buildings under attack.
01:06:44.000So now the Portland police are like, we're out because the Democrats want to support the riots because Trump opposes them.
01:06:50.000And then they go, the peaceful protesters that, earlier today, peaceful protesters smashed out a window and lobbed mortar-style fireworks at police, causing massive explosions and damage to a building, graffitiing everything, tearing down barricades peacefully.
01:07:56.000So I remember, like this is true for anywhere, and I talk about this all the time, like when I was in Egypt during the revolution, you could literally go like three or four blocks away, and there was McDonald's.
01:08:05.000And you walk inside, and there's one Coke and a cheeseburger place, and they're like, here you go.
01:08:21.000And you look out the window, and there's a revolution going on.
01:08:24.000When CNN says they're trying to make it seem like everything's crazy, no, you are by saying that.
01:08:30.000You're lying about what critics are saying.
01:08:33.000They're claiming all of Portland is burning.
01:08:35.000I don't recall anyone putting out a video saying, literally every city block is on fire.
01:08:40.000Knows the federal courthouse has been besieged for 53 days.
01:08:44.000Yeah, and probably right now The funny thing is Trump supporters are sharing like it's like it's like popcorn night It's like every night you grab the popcorn and turn on TV to watch the riots and the live streams and sit back and just Have a good time like to just watch that's the thing.
01:09:25.000Patricia gave up her gun to her lawyer and it was turned over, but it's inoperable.
01:09:30.000The police came and took his rifle away.
01:09:32.000Because a large group of people had entered his private property and were walking on his private property, and my understanding is that the police were unavailable.
01:09:42.000It's a giant 300 to 500 group, you know, people, and the cops are like, we can't respond to that.
01:09:46.000So the guy comes out for whatever reason, says, he said they were threatening him, maybe.
01:10:09.000Louis couple who emerged from their mansion in a gated community and aimed weapons at protesters marching past them last month were each charged Monday with one felony count of unlawful use of a weapon.
01:10:19.000Lawyers Mark McCloskey and Patricia have said they were merely defending their home on a private street in an upscale neighborhood from a crowd that was marching to Mayor Lita Crewson's house to protest racial injustice.
01:10:31.000Video and photographs show Mark McCloskey wielding a rifle And Patricia McCloskey aiming a pistol at marchers created a firestorm of controversy, we know all that.
01:10:53.000She issued them summonses and said she would consider them for a diversion program, which would enable the charge to be dismissed if a counseling or other remedial course was completed.
01:11:03.000The charge carries a possible penalty of probation up to four years.
01:11:07.000The McCloskey's attorney, Joel J. Schwartz, called the charges disheartening, as I unequivocally believe no crime was committed.
01:11:15.000Schwartz said the McCloskeys support the First Amendment right of every citizen to have their voice and opinion be heard.
01:11:20.000This right, however, must be bound to the Second Amendment and Missouri law, which entitle each of us to protect our home and family from potential threats.
01:11:38.000Welcome to the morality policing world.
01:11:41.000What we're seeing in Oregon with these riots, what we're seeing here, leads me to believe that if the escalation continues, we have already lit the spark, the first spark of a hot civil war.
01:11:53.000The reason for it is, with the Portland police backing down, and these rioters now being emboldened to do whatever they want, Yeah, basically.
01:12:01.000The Feds are inside their own building, not engaging.
01:12:43.000He was asked, if it comes to charges, would you pardon me?
01:12:45.000He says, that's what I'm thinking, or something like that.
01:12:47.000That's where the thinking is going, or something like that.
01:12:49.000I think it's very, very likely that the governor is going to intervene and say, nope.
01:12:55.000And Josh Hawley, the senator from Missouri, has said he wants a DOJ probe into the violation of their rights, if charges emerge, so they have.
01:13:06.000Optimistically, it's good to see that there are people coming to the defense of the McCloskeys who did nothing other than stand on their property with weapons, which they're allowed to do.
01:13:35.000The Republicans are saying we want an investigation into civil rights, and the Democrats are saying charge them and arrest them regardless of, you know, it's our interpretation that you've committed a crime.
01:13:44.000Slash, let's just get rid of civil rights.
01:13:47.000That's what they're doing in California.
01:14:08.000Well, I guess you explain it anyway, just in case people missed it.
01:14:11.000Yeah, so basically the government would give a ship a letter of marque, and then they could go into enemy territory and go after their ships.
01:14:20.000And then the other countries would be like, oh, they're pirates.
01:14:23.000They would blame the crown of England.
01:14:25.000And England would say, no, no, they're privateers.
01:14:31.000I look at what's going on now in Oregon, and based on the fact that Portland police have literally issued a statement saying, we did not go out and engage these people, letting them run rampant and damage federal property.
01:14:43.000Then the state of Oregon targeted Trump.
01:14:45.000The mayor, the senators, the governor, and the AG are saying, federal troops, Trump's army.
01:14:51.000So you've got the state literally going up against the executive branch.
01:15:39.000You know, and then you got Nancy Pelosi, you know, you, you said it was just the state, but she's, she's sitting on, she's third in line, isn't she?
01:15:47.000So she's, she's sitting in on the, you know, with the keys to the back door and she's, she's supporting it also.
01:17:08.000Well, I mean I tried to explain you can't you can't I know this is what I'm learning, you know, you can't even because How man it's like just because they know my position instantly I disagree with them on every single issue that they think and Every single one, you know suddenly I'm just the enemy now.
01:17:27.000I'm evil, you know, and it's like, okay Well, you clearly don't know my character, even though you we've known each other for 15 years You know, you would think that they would trust the fact that I've made a decision to ask me why at least Instead of just bombard me with how dare you how dare you?
01:17:43.000You know, it's like Tribalism is all that matters at this point.
01:17:46.000So I saw someone, some journalist tweeted, it was like one of those bingo memes, if you had Trump launching a secret police force to snatch his dissidents off the street, you know, on your 2020 bingo card, well, I guess you've won or something stupid like that.
01:18:01.000And I thought to myself, like, this journalist is actually tweeting to people that's what's going on.
01:18:04.000Journalists with like tens of thousands of followers.
01:18:07.000Followers who believe that's reality and it's not.
01:18:09.000Like what, a couple people got arrested, or not even arrested, detained for questioning, and that was it?
01:18:26.000If you had, George W. Bush creates Presidential Directive 51 on your 2007 bingo list that allows the president to overthrow the entire U.S.
01:18:36.000government, create a new constitutional government under his authority, then check off your bingo.
01:19:04.000And they're like, no, the orange man is bad.
01:19:06.000And I'm like, well, I don't know about all that, but I mean, you were the one who told me 10 years ago, we got to get our troops out of the Middle East.
01:19:39.000So then when they start throwing firebombs at it, and setting fires, and the Feds come out and say, get back, and they try to put the fires out, what do we get?
01:19:44.000That retired Navy guy who stands next to the cops and they start hitting him because he won't move, and now the narrative is Trump's secret police- They beat a veteran.
01:20:13.000I could go out to live stream, anybody could go out to live stream, they press go live, and they hire one of their buddies to dress like whatever they want and threaten them.
01:20:21.000And then all of a sudden it's like, Far Right threatens live streamer.
01:20:24.000And you wouldn't know, they're wearing a mask.
01:20:31.000What happens is, Antifa starts a fire in front of the building.
01:20:35.000So they come out, and they try to clear the area, because there's a fire.
01:20:38.000This guy walks up to him and goes, I want to talk to you about the Constitution, and they're like, get back, you know, get back, and he's like, no.
01:20:44.000So they start hitting him, and he refuses to move, so they spray him, and then he moves and he flicks him off, it's like...
01:21:02.000I'm just gonna take this second to just remind everybody and inform everybody that we have all All three of us have seen the Yuri Bezmenov interview.
01:22:04.000That's why I took this time to just make a public service announcement to let everybody know.
01:22:08.000It's really difficult, you know, considering the amount of emails I already get, but to have one where it's just like, yo, you need to see this video, man.
01:22:42.000And then the crazy thing is people who track down my private email addresses and then I'm like, that's so disrespectful, dude.
01:22:48.000I have public email addresses where people can contact me and I have forms on my website and people still try and look up public records and do the stuff to like get around these things.
01:23:39.000She is considered this MAGA Trump hero because she's been splashing paint on the Black Lives Matter murals and then, you know, talking about how they don't actually care about black lives.
01:23:59.000Whereas normally I would say I don't like, I would actually condemn the splashing of paint so long as they're allowing Antifa to spray paint, you know, buildings and statues and then calling them peaceful protesters.
01:24:12.000Then why would I complain about what Bevelyn's doing?
01:25:26.000That's a good point sue or you could sue the judicial watch is suing they want quote because no one is above the law
01:25:32.000written on DC streets Because they wrote Black Lives Matter. Yeah
01:25:36.000Not only that, I say you go one step further.
01:25:38.000For every street that's been renamed Black Lives Matter, I think you should sue and say you wanna rename a street All Lives Matter, or hey, how about MAGA 2020?
01:25:48.000No, no, no, the point is- If you need a color in front of that, then you have an issue.
01:25:51.000If they're going to write a political message on street names and in the streets, then anyone should be allowed to do the exact same thing.
01:26:02.000So they want to make Black Lives Matter Plaza.
01:26:54.000They say, many communities across the country are displaying Black Lives Matter street murals.
01:26:58.000Redwood City was one of them until last week when the city quietly removed it.
01:27:02.000Redwood City resident Dan Peace got permission from city officials to paint Black Lives Matter sign on Broadway as part of the 4th of July public art celebration.
01:27:11.000The city even supplied him with yellow poster board paint to do it.
01:27:17.000Well now you gotta pay for my paint to write my message.
01:27:21.000Because we were using the poster board paint that would eventually deteriorate over time, my understanding from them was that the mural would last as long as the paint lasted.
01:27:28.000But last Thursday, the city washed the sign away after being contacted by a local real estate attorney, Maria Rutenberg, who said that if the street was now a public forum, she wanted a sign of her own reading MAGA 2020.
01:27:45.000I saw Black Lives Matter sign appearing on Broadway Street on the asphalt, and I figured, that's gonna be new public space, open for discussion, and I wanted to get my message out too.
01:29:10.000If you want to write Black Lives Matter in the street, I think the city should not permit it because that would open up the street to literally everybody.
01:29:17.000What happens now if someone decides to write the 14 words?
01:29:39.000I know I'm taking the extreme stance on this one, but that's the fact.
01:29:43.000When you make the street a public forum, this is what you've done, and that's why I thought it was a bad idea.
01:29:49.000Now with this woman wanting MAGA on the street, I'm not saying that to support Trump or MAGA, I'm saying it to support the First Amendment and equality under the law.
01:31:10.000I'm curious as to how many bored people there are and how many streets we are going to see over the next few weeks littered with crazy messages that make no sense.
01:32:16.000You can set a time limit, I suppose, but to be fair under the law, however long that message existed, anyone should be able to write it.
01:32:22.000De Blasio put 27 police officers to protect the Fifth Avenue one.
01:32:29.000So not only are they allowing the speech of what they're saying or what they're allowing, they're putting 27, that's more than any other unit that they have in New York City.
01:32:40.00027 police officers are now holding that sign to keep it safe.
01:33:57.000If the citizens have a right to write something, then all citizens have a right to write something.
01:34:01.000And if the local government, if the government is going to be paying for it for citizens, then the government pays for it for whatever citizens want, whatever message.
01:35:49.000I hope, I have a dream, that one day I wake up and across this country are just weird nonsensical speech statements that I don't understand, like Magoya.
01:36:11.000Could you imagine how confused people are going to be when one day they wake up and their Black Lives Matter mural is now sitting next to Magoya 2020 and they're like, what?
01:36:19.000And they're going to Google it trying to figure out what it means.
01:37:24.000There isn't there isn't a crime unit that has 27 police officers and they're already defund they're trying to defund the police but using 27 police officers to protect this mural.
01:40:40.000We can be more silly about smashing that like button.
01:40:43.000And don't forget to smash the subscribe button if you haven't, because I believe there's 44, 43 or so thousand people watching right now who could all smash all those buttons.
01:40:51.000And if each and every one of you smash that like button, YouTube would probably put us at number one and tell everyone to watch the show.
01:40:57.000And if you think that's a good thing, do it.
01:42:01.000He was one of the kids from the Parkland shooting who, you know, he was like profiled and he became an activist, started speaking up about gun rights and stuff, gun control.
01:42:09.000He tweeted out something like, I think he said, I'm not a doctor, like novice or otherwise, but I'm pretty sure New York is not an example of doing it right when it comes to coronavirus.
01:43:46.000I think of the early 2000s, years of my life where there were greater relative amounts of free society besides the Patriot Act.
01:43:52.000It felt right to resist government then.
01:43:54.000I find the system I wanted to resist, I want to defend now.
01:43:58.000Well, I am not happy with a lot of the stupid BS that has emerged over the past several decades that give this extreme executive authority.
01:44:39.000When a DHS guy has a police patch on his chest, and DHS on his arm, and he walks up and says, come with us, and you go, but who are these strange men kidnapping me?
01:45:25.000That's exactly what they wanted, though.
01:45:27.000Those people that were filming were like, yeah, this is the ammo we need to totally prove that these guys are terrible people.
01:45:34.000What if they were FBI agents wearing suits, and they walked up and said, come on, and they put them into a black, unmarked SUV?
01:45:40.000When I was in Chicago in 2012, and we had a mixture of police vehicles and black, unmarked SUVs surround us, we didn't immediately get out and go, who are these strange men who have surrounded us with weapons?
01:47:18.000I do think it is fair to point out it was our fault for going there in the first place, and now we have a responsibility to a certain degree.
01:47:28.000He said, when you're a doctor, and you prescribe someone a medication that turns out to be wrong, you don't just go, well, I guess you're on it, you might as well stay on it.
01:47:37.000You immediately get them off that medication, say that was a bad idea, and getting them off may cause problems, they might get sick, and it may make things worse, but you can't just keep it going.
01:47:45.000You might have to taper it, but you have to stop.
01:47:46.000Yeah, because we've created an addiction.
01:48:11.000I've been told not to say anything because I'm not a professional or I'm not a doctor because I'm questioning specific things about a certain something that's happening right now in the world.
01:48:28.000Like, look at the person who's talking to me, and they're just like a coffee... Barista?
01:48:32.000Yeah, a barista, and it's like... Now, now, hold on!
01:48:41.000But that does not... I mean, I have done hundreds of hours of research knowing about all this stuff, so I can sit here and have a conversation with you about everything that's going on and know what's happening.
01:48:53.000And it's like, for you to tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about and then also scream at the top of your lungs that now we should be in Afghanistan?
01:49:34.000This reminds me of when I was at Occupy Wall Street and I was talking to this group of people and this one white guy goes, well, you think... I was basically talking about meritocracy and stuff and equality.
01:49:46.000He goes, you think that, though, because you're white and your privilege stops you from understanding what these people are going through.
01:49:54.000And I was like, no, actually, I'm second generation mixed race.
01:49:57.000And then he goes, Oh, now I see what you're saying.
01:50:13.000And so basically, they have no principles.
01:50:16.000Their political statements are based on whatever they think is socially acceptable.
01:50:20.000So when this guy was standing in front of a bunch of people saying, you don't understand your privilege, but it turned out he was talking to a marginalized person, All of a sudden he was like, oh no, my social standing, whatever shall I do?
01:51:12.000Terrorism has a very clear definition.
01:51:14.000And they were like, it's funny because it says, whether or not having hundreds of pounds of explosives is considered to be a, you know, it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:51:43.000I don't know how much I trust police and law enforcement or the government, but right now you earn no favors from me far left when you purposefully go to this place and throw explosives at the building.
01:51:52.000As soon as, look, if I go, if I went to a protest and they were like, Hey, we're going to go protest the federal government because they're, you know, like oppressors.
01:53:39.000CatXDragon says, where is the video to prove this?

02:02:27.000I look at these people who are progressive commentators on YouTube, and they do miserably.
02:02:34.000They're doing well, they're probably all rich, but relative to moderate to conservative, politically homeless, intellectual dark web kind of people who might be progressive or conservative but are anti-SJW, all doing really, really well.
02:02:48.000And I watch a lot of these videos and they really do just engage in a lot of sophistry.
02:02:53.000They use manipulative false arguments.
02:03:11.000But they'll literally talk about YouTubers.
02:03:14.000But they also do this thing where instead of researching, they just watch a video, and then instead of looking up the news and getting their facts straight, they just repeat what the story says and then complain.
02:06:52.000Recently, I channeled my inner Nick Cage from the movie Knowing and added up my birthday year and month and got 2029, which so happens to have a meteor coming close to Earth.
