On this week's episode, the boys talk about the latest in the war on Antifa, a federal judge refuses to protect the federal courthouse, and the new soundboard they're working on. They also talk about a new movie they're making and a new book they're reading.
00:01:48.000I'd be willing to bet the federal judge was like, let's see here, you're trying to tell the federal government to stop protecting the courthouse for which I am a judge.
00:03:44.000I've been working in this industry now for about 10 years.
00:03:48.000It's crazy to think that, because I was just some dude walking around pointing my phone at stuff, and now here we are.
00:03:53.000I worked in some of these newsrooms, and I've seen some pretty awful reporting, but I've seen some really good reporting.
00:03:59.000Over time, it's been getting worse and worse.
00:04:02.000And now I don't necessarily think that some of these people know how bad they are.
00:04:08.000I do think many of them are useful idiots for political parties who, you know, look, as far as I'm concerned, the point I'm trying to make is journalism today has become an arm of the political parties.
00:05:04.000State police said they would assist local police in riot control during the riots last month.
00:05:10.000And Vox is like, it's never happened before that state security would do something like this.
00:05:15.000I'm like that is the most insane thing. This guy must have just I am at look it's Vox
00:05:21.000So maybe this guy used to write about Brad Pitt's junk. I guess that's the trope now
00:05:24.000Any nonsensical news is like celebrity gossip? Yeah, and they're probably like hey you want to write about this
00:05:28.000I don't know anything about it, but sure i'll just make it up
00:05:30.000And then they make it up And this is where we are. So we got some other news too. We
00:05:34.000got some other crazy stories There's a a militia called I can't say their
00:05:39.000Name because it's a swear, but it's the nfac coalition And apparently they're going to be at some event where there's going to be three percenters.
00:05:51.000And they were on this, there was this video a while ago from Georgia where the dude says something like, the Boogaloos and these other militias, like, where the eff you at?
00:06:03.000Well, now apparently they're both going to show up at the same place.
00:06:06.000So I can only imagine this will be really interesting.
00:06:09.000I'm pretty sure this militia, the NFAC, they're like black Hebrew Israelites.
00:06:15.000So they're like, the stuff that Nick Cannon was saying, the anti-Semitic stuff, the anti-white stuff, that's the kind of stuff that they've been sharing, and it's getting more and more prominent.
00:06:57.000I believe the consulate is sovereign territory.
00:06:59.000That's the Feds going into Chinese territory and taking one of their citizens.
00:07:04.000Yeah, and the defense minister of China was basically calling us out for overstepping our, overstepping, you know, and saying that, well, the ties, any friendship between Chinese and American is over.
00:07:20.000We got to talk about this China stuff, man.
00:07:21.000I think, you know, like the thing about this Fed stuff in Portland is that it all ties together with this, what we're going to see in, I think it's in Louisville, where these militias are going to clash and people are getting worried about it.
00:07:32.000We gotta talk about this China stuff, because... We gotta talk about it.
00:07:36.000It's serious stuff, but I have some thoughts on this.
00:08:35.000It's basically... Let me just read you the quick context.
00:08:38.000Federal Judge Friday denied a temporary restraining order that Oregon's Attorney General sought to restrict federal officers' tactics in Portland, finding the state lacked legal standing and presented scant evidence to support allegations that federal officers were illegally snatching people off city streets.
00:09:27.000We get to this point now where Ladies and gentlemen, on this program, you have heard us talk about the game of telephone that journalists play.
00:09:35.000I would like to present to you the most extreme game of telephone we have seen yet.
00:09:40.000But first, let me read this next paragraph to get a little bit of understanding.
00:10:40.000In which, men in camouflage fatigues took Michael Pettibone of Downtown at 2am, placed him in an unmarked van and took him to the courthouse for questioning.
00:10:48.000Another person the next day was caught on a widely circulated video on social media being led away to an unmarked dark van by men in camouflage, later identified as Customs and Border Patrol officers.
00:10:58.000The suit was filed against the US Marshal Service and the FPS.
00:11:02.000The judge determined for the purposes of the court hearing that Petty Bone's stop was likely
00:11:06.000done without probable cause. Now that's interesting. But had little information
00:11:11.000about the unidentified man in the video. That's interesting for sure.
00:11:15.000On Twitter, Mark Morgan, a senior official with Customs and Border Protection, referred to a
00:11:18.000person in a video who Border Patrol agents approached on the streets of Portland and
00:11:22.000moved the suspects to a safer location. Now that's insane.
00:11:30.000I should have read the full thing first.
00:11:32.000A safer location for questioning to avoid a large and violent mob.
00:11:36.000Suspecting he had previously assaulted a federal officer or destroyed federal property.
00:11:40.000He provided no further information about the encounter.
00:11:43.000They say the state has presented just one example of an arrest without probable cause and one example of an unreasonable seizure.
00:11:49.000That is the sum total of the evidence before me that underpins the legal injuries the state asserts in its brief.
00:11:55.000The judge wrote, in both circumstances of a federal seizure, it is either admitted or clearly visible that the agent's uniforms say police.
00:12:44.000They said they thought this guy was somebody who was damaging property, and they wanted to move him to a safer location so there wouldn't be a violent mob.
00:13:08.000Beyond the two examples, the state failed to show that federal officers were engaged in any widespread unlawful practice or that others would be harmed in the future.
00:13:16.000It has presented no evidence of any official orders or policies and has presented no evidence that these allegedly illegal seizures are a widespread practice.
00:13:25.000Despite the broad language in its complaint, Oregon has shown, at most, that this type of seizure has happened twice.
00:13:32.000Attorney Sheila Potter, Deputy Chief Trial Counsel for the Attorney General's Office, had argued that secretive maneuvers by federal officers make other protesters fear they'll be snatched off the street, blah blah blah.
00:13:59.000I disagree, but at least it's not the judge, you know, just like, you know, jumping up on the table, dancing around and kicking papers at the state, you know what I mean?
00:14:15.000Especially when the next like, I think it was a week afterwards, there was a press conference and they were showing the actual uniforms saying, you can clearly see police, you can clearly see, you know, the badge numbers.
00:15:06.000Look, man, I feel like I'm reading some kind of action book or graphic novel, just not something based in reality.
00:15:14.000In fact, outside the context of a domestic insurgency like the troubles in Northern Ireland, there is no example of state security forces being deployed under circumstances like this inside any democratic state.
00:15:28.000You about to drop some bombs on them, too?
00:15:30.000No, I mean, any sane human being who understands life is like, what are you talking about?
00:15:34.000We have state police guard all the time.
00:16:20.000The kind of violent federal deployment over the objections of state and local officials has no real precedent in American history.
00:16:26.000The closest parallels are Reconstruction, when Union troops occupied the states of the defeated former Confederacy and military deployments to the South during the Civil Rights era to enforce desegregation orders.
00:16:40.000So in other words, it's totally legal, it's been done before, can we move on?
00:16:44.000In both of those cases, it was uniformed soldiers that were sent, not unidentified state security from an alphabet soup of obscure DHS agencies.
00:16:55.000More fundamentally, these troops were being used to protect moves towards racial progress, not suppress protesters who were there to demand it.
00:17:06.000What he doesn't understand is, that's actually a very childlike view of what they were doing.
00:17:13.000What they were doing was enforcing the law.
00:17:16.000When the law said, this is what must be done, period, it wasn't about favoring an ideology or otherwise, it was about, the courts had ruled, the laws were passed, done.
00:17:26.000So when it comes to what's going on in Oregon, when you try to breach a courthouse and burn it down and attack people, the law is very clear on that one.
00:17:34.000So yes, identified state security forces are being deployed.
00:18:12.000That way when he comes to the next paragraph, it's technically telling the truth.
00:18:17.000This is the most egregious example of technically the truth I have ever seen.
00:18:22.000And this is what these companies do all day, okay?
00:18:26.000Not every single one, but a lot of these digital-only, ridiculous, you know, companies that just, you know, just, like, knock out dozens of articles of nonsense every day.
00:18:54.000There's no example of state security forces being deployed like this in any democratic state.
00:19:00.000First of all, you want to talk about unmarked, masked individuals in full tactical gear with live ammunition going into residential areas to purge undesirables?
00:19:13.000There are many, many examples of that happening in democratic states.
00:19:18.000You want to argue justification for whether or not they should or shouldn't be doing the certain operations?
00:19:47.000He's got his patch on his arm in much the same way as we see in Portland.
00:19:52.000But you can't see his eyes, you can't see his face.
00:19:54.000Look, I'll be fair, Matt, it's similar.
00:19:56.000And these guys were heavily criticized.
00:19:58.000But they have rifles, like live ammunition.
00:20:00.000The dudes in Portland that are going out are doing crowd control.
00:20:04.000So Rand Paul wrote this article saying we should demilitarize the police and all that
00:20:10.000And it was making reference to Portland.
00:20:12.000And I'm like, I agree, to a certain extent, the issue is more so accountability and oversight for the use of this machinery, technology and equipment.
00:20:23.000So, look, if I see a bunch of violent, whatever you want to call it, extremists trying to burn down a building, I'm not going to freak out when identified federal law enforcement say, get off our property, and then defend themselves.
00:20:37.000Yeah, it's like they really think everyone has no idea what happens after the peaceful protesters Well, they don't even leave.
00:21:38.000When they showed up, the Occupy people, the far leftists, the socialists, showed up to the Trayvon Martin march in New York and then steered the crowd in the wrong direction, away from the organizers.
00:21:49.000The organizers were like, we're going to go to one police plaza and protest the NYPD.
00:21:53.000And then the Occupy people ran to the front and steered the crowd towards Wall Street.
00:21:57.000And all of those protesters, like that, became socialist protesters.
00:22:02.000And this is what I was saying, listen.
00:22:03.000This is what I was saying about the bank robbery thing yesterday.
00:22:07.000If you're marching with someone who's leading you to Wall Street chanting, you know, like, we are the 99%, you're not protesting police brutality anymore.
00:22:15.000You might think you are, but no one's gonna say, like, you're marching behind the dude against, you know, Wall Street or whatever.
00:22:21.000But check out this, let's go to the top of this article.
00:22:23.000No, I just want to give props to the chat.
00:22:45.000Did you see that one journalist who keeps getting beat up and then keeps saying, thank you Antifa, please may I have another?
00:22:50.000I haven't seen that one, but... So, I'm being rude, but there's this, like, Andy Ngo was tweeted about him.
00:22:56.000He got beat up the first time, and then Andy Ngo was like, Antifa's put a bounty on this guy's head.
00:23:03.000And so then the dude tweets, the Feds, it's actually, you know, it's not Antifa, the Feds are trying to stop me, you know, they're committing war crimes.
00:23:11.000Then they beat him up again and he posts a video saying something like, yeah, they beat me up, but it's OK.
00:23:19.000You know, I'm more concerned with the police.
00:23:22.000It's like, dude, how many times are you going to get beat up and then you're going to act like... How many times do I have to teach the same lesson?
00:24:43.000And the reason I say that, and I use these words, I use like evil very carefully, is because the people who are funding this know exactly what they're funding.
00:24:53.000So, a lot of people talk about, like, grifting on social media, and they say, you know, Tim's just choosing these stories because they get the most clicks and stuff like that, and it's like, actually, I choose the stories that I think are the most interesting and important.
00:25:05.000Like, today I talked about UFOs, because that Pentagon thing, and I'm pretty sure it's not gonna do as well as me talking, like, I could have recorded a segment on this.
00:25:19.000But anyway, the point is, Vox, CNN, Buzzfeed, these are companies where in the morning the boss comes in and says, who's gonna give me that story that gets a million clicks?
00:25:59.000They'll be like, yo, I heard this story about, you know, this guy on a, on a hacking website who got like his name released and the button, not interesting enough.
00:26:12.000The people in charge know what they're choosing and why they're choosing it.
00:26:16.000It's very different from an individual being like, here's my opinion on these issues and here's what I think matters.
00:26:21.000The company is like, here's our broadly defined or like a, you know, narrowly defined, you know, story, purview.
00:26:28.000If you look at some of these earlier companies, like Mike.com, was like libertarian until they realized social justice, the police brutality stuff, it made them more money.
00:26:40.000This is what I've been told, so I'll just tell you that.
00:26:43.000But then all of a sudden they became a leftist social justice company because they were chasing the money.
00:26:47.000The owners were actively pursuing this.
00:26:50.000The scary thing about this article from Vox is I think they're right.
00:26:56.000When they say we are witnessing a crisis of democracy, that is true, that is perfectly acceptable to a significant portion of the population, yes, and it hurts their enemies.
00:27:06.000I believe that of the far left and the Democrats.
00:27:09.000So the faulty statement there would be the Republican Party.
00:29:09.000I mean, there's I know the defamation laws, you know, the libel laws, it's they're they're directly causing people to believe that there is a war going on within our country.
00:29:21.000So you can almost you can almost say that these Absolutely.
00:29:24.000you know, media posts are leading people to cause violence and actually damage
00:29:30.000damaged communities. It's like there's a direct correlation to their BS and
00:29:35.000what's actually happening out there. You know I was really disappointed. You got
00:29:39.000to be held liable for that. There's a reporter named Josh Rushing.
00:29:42.000He works for Al Jazeera's Fault Lines, or I think he used to.
00:29:49.000And I say this because it bums me out.
00:29:52.000He did this bit where he has someone film him while he calls Tucker Carlson on speakerphone.
00:29:58.000And Tucker, he's like, Tucker, you recently said that white supremacy was a hoax and there are people in El Paso that feel like your rhetoric is inflaming things, makes them targeted.
00:30:06.000Tucker's response was, Hey, why don't you send the questions to the media people?
00:30:09.000Cause you know, I'm not, I'm not supposed to, you know, do this.
00:30:14.000And it is the lowest form of trash content, and I was surprised that this dude, who I guess he had served in the military, maybe a marine, I'm not entirely sure, and then he became like a host for an Al Jazeera show called Fault Lines, and I'm like, this is what it's come to now, man?
00:30:31.000Like, you're gonna go from reporting in conflict zones to being the guy in the street?
00:31:08.000These companies like Vox and Bloomberg have institutional power in the sense that they use their collective viewership to empower people who are really, really dumb and lie.
00:31:22.000So you get these journalists who normally would have no influence because they're talentless and they're liars.
00:31:27.000But they're placed up on a pedestal with tens of or hundreds of millions of dollars by major corporations that push their message out.
00:31:35.000So you get these, you know, I think it's one of the reasons why they really want to control social media because social media became an open space for meritocracy.
00:31:42.000Where someone like me, for instance, could just start making content and with zero marketing budget gain a ton of followers and get millions of views.
00:32:13.000Yeah, there's a few friends of mine that are arguing that, like, you know, how can you defend this Operation Legend that, and look at what's happening in Portland, of course they live in Portland, and they're like, I go outside, everything's fine, nothing's like that, like, how can you say that?
00:32:30.000You live there, and you're telling me that the videos that I'm watching of the actual courthouse being attacked, and then here we have a court order, the judge issuing, like, nope, they're well within their rights to do what they're doing, telling me, like, no, it's terrible that you believe that, that you're the issue, that you're believing the false lies, so they truly believe what the truth is, is the lie.
00:32:58.000Think about how psychotic it is right now that CNN and Oregonian and all of these outlets are arguing that Portland is fine.
00:33:06.000They're like, there's nothing really going on in Portland.
00:33:44.000If you think the DHS people in Portland is not a big deal because Portland is fine, then why would I believe you when you say, how dare Trump send federal agents to a different city?
00:34:05.000And of course, she shows video of the actual riots, the actual fire, the actual, you know, mortars being shot at the courthouse and the, you know, the statues being toppled.
00:34:16.000Sure, there was some graffiti there that people are claiming.
00:34:19.000Well, there was graffiti that was, you know, said a swear word.
00:34:31.000I mean, if you truly, and people are just bombarding any Twitter feed that I see about that, it's just all these people on the left like, no, no, it was just a swear word, don't worry, they just took it down from the swear word.
00:34:43.000It's like, no, that's not what it was.
00:34:45.000They don't want anyone knowing about the actual goings of Portland right now.
00:34:50.000They want them to believe that everything's fine in Portland.
00:35:08.000So, for those that aren't familiar with the phrase, and a lot of people aren't, that's why I'll define it.
00:35:13.000Reactionary is a reference to, I believe, the French Revolution, where the left wing, and that's where left and right comes from, the Jacobins and the left and the revolutionary types, called the right that wanted to support the monarchy reactionaries who reacted to the revolution yeah so today the left is really good at using their they understand the power of semantics and how words shape reality that's why they change definitions of words
00:35:41.000And that's why they will call liberal individuals, like freedom-loving individuals, libertarian
00:35:48.000individuals, conservatives, reactionaries, to imply that you, in fact, are resisting
00:36:27.000They change the definitions of words, they call you the reactionary, they call you the fascist, but what these people are doing, repealing civil rights law.
00:36:58.000Because they actually use those fascist tactics.
00:37:02.000So they call themselves the not-fascists club, and then when they start doing fascist things, they're like, we're the not-fascists, you moron.
00:37:58.000And this is, you can easily verify, like, the way I see this is very, I believe it's logically, I believe I'm correct, and it's very simple.
00:38:45.000When someone on the right, a libertarian, a moderate, politically homeless IDW says individuals deserve freedom no matter what their race, color, creed, national origin, that is progress.
00:38:55.000That is us recognizing the fundamental human rights, the unalienable rights of every person that was originally enshrined in the Constitution and we fully realized over the next 100, 200 years.
00:39:06.000They're trying to literally repeal those laws to take it back to a simpler time because they're racists.
00:39:14.000So all those crazy Democrat leftists that were yelling at Trump when he was like, make America great again, when Reagan said it, Clinton said it.
00:39:22.000Bill Clinton said it for Hillary Clinton in 2008, too.
00:40:03.000How come we were all doing so... You know, every class was doing so well, and something changed in 1980, and now only the 1% is prospering.
00:40:10.000So you're saying you want to make America great again?
00:41:25.000WDRB.com says, LMPD, that's Louisville Metro Police, plan for armed militias to protest downtown Saturday.
00:41:35.000And they give us this really nice photo of a member of the black militia group known as the NFAC.
00:41:43.000You got a bunch of dudes, they got guns, and I'll tell you what, first and foremost, they are in their legal right to do everything they're doing.
00:42:19.000Weren't, uh, properly, you know, equipped, I guess.
00:42:23.000I mean, maybe they did... I don't know that much about guns, you know, myself, but I was reading into it and they were like, there was clearly people who knew what they were talking about guns, talking about it.
00:42:32.000The important context is that you've got this group.
00:42:34.000It's the the not effing around coalition.
00:42:37.000They called out right-wing groups and militias and apparently one of these dudes has posted like a I don't know how you describe it, but anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, you know, stuff in the vein of like black identity extremism and black Hebrew Israelites.
00:42:53.000So people are kind of concerned about their ideology, especially gonna be marching around.
00:42:56.000But hey, you know, first and foremost, they're allowed to be doing this in America.
00:42:59.000Second Amendment applies to them, same as anybody else, if they want to, you know, do their thing.
00:43:03.000So long as it's, you know, within the law, I'm not gonna complain.
00:43:06.000However, the three percenters are gonna be coming out.
00:43:09.000And after these dudes already called out other militias, I have genuine concern for some kind of escalation or conflict.
00:43:21.000I've noticed that when I've gone to a lot of protests, be it the left or the right, the armed guys are the most disciplined and typically stop things from escalating.
00:43:30.000The issue is the older disciplined guys with training who are like, we don't want an escalation here and kind of calm things down.
00:43:38.000But what happens when some younger person shows up all rambunctious with a brand new weapon or like when the dude in Chaz just hands some random dude a gun?
00:43:46.000Or a brick gets tossed from behind the crowd or, you know, one person not associated with either group comes in and just pops one shot into the air.
00:43:54.000While pretending to be one or the other.
00:43:57.000I think, I gotta be honest man, in my experience, I think even someone firing in the air, you'll see discipline from the guys who are properly trained.
00:44:04.000They're not just gonna start aiming and shooting.
00:44:05.000Well, what scares me though, on that front, is these not-effing-around crew, they were straight up calling these people to come fight them.
00:44:15.000So they weren't, I mean, that's what they were saying.
00:44:17.000They're like, come fight us, you know, you're all talk.
00:44:36.000And I've seen them be very, the most disciplined there.
00:44:39.000In fact, at one event, it was in Boston, when people were trying to fight, the 3%ers actually pushed the, so they're on the side with the right, the right-wing people.
00:45:43.000Well, I can't I can't either all I'm never I don't know why and neither do I but I am going directly off of their videos of them right right the camera saying this is our message.
00:45:59.000They say, groups associated with the 3%er movement and a black militia known as the Not F'ing Around Coalition are expected to face off in Jefferson Square Park on Saturday, along with other people who have, for several weeks, been protesting the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor by police.
00:46:15.000Well, maybe they'll all be there together, because everybody wants justice for Breonna Taylor.
00:46:21.000I haven't found one person who doesn't care about that.
00:46:25.000Yeah, I would say that with 100% accuracy, when I go to people and be like, hey, did you hear about this young woman who was just shot in a no-knock warrant?
00:47:00.000Major Aubrey Gregory told reporters Thursday that the groups are expected to be armed, but everyone police have spoken with has expressed the desire for peaceful protests.
00:47:30.000People pull out guns and point them at each other's faces and then somebody gets shot.
00:47:34.000to help ensure that police will limit vehicle access around the park, including prohibiting parking on the streets surrounding Jefferson Square Park, and police will use bike rack barriers to create a buffer zone and separate the protesters.
00:47:47.000Gregory said police will create a no-go zone on 5th Street to try and keep those people with alternative viewpoints separated.
00:47:53.000The department will try not to intervene as long as protesters do not break the law, police have said.
00:47:58.000LMPD remains committed to peaceful expression of views under the First Amendment.
00:48:02.000That's Jesse Halliday, police spokesman said. As we have done for several weeks,
00:48:07.000there will be no need for police intervention as long as there is no threat to personal or public
00:48:11.000safety. We will not allow the barricading of streets by non-law enforcement, impeding traffic,
00:48:15.000or attempting to threaten or force people not involved in the protest from their intended
00:48:19.000destinations. Gregory said the department has been in contact with other law enforcement,
00:48:24.000including Kentucky State Police, but have not requested assistance for this weekend.
00:48:28.000And Gregory told reporters he spoke with the founder of NFAC, Grandmaster Jay, who said he is coming to Louisville to voice his concern over the death of Taylor, but expected a nonviolent protest.
00:48:40.000I take him at his word, as I have no reason not to.
00:49:14.000You know, if they're going together as proper American citizens exercising their rights, you know, protesting against injustice, you know, what's Antifa gonna do?
00:54:09.000It was a really funny story I was reading once, like, I guess it's like an old legend that somewhere in Europe, back in the way olden days of like the 1400s, people were all on a bridge just dancing wildly, like for no reason.
00:54:22.000And whenever someone would walk on the bridge, they would succumb to the hysteria and start dancing as well.
00:54:27.000And it was just like, it probably, it's a story supposedly about some weird curse, I don't know, but most people just think it was mob mentality.
00:54:34.000That people joined in and started doing random things looking weird and silly for no known reason.
00:54:39.000I mean, I'm seeing some videos where there is definitely mob mentality and they're just chiming in.
00:54:49.000The fact that they're showing up to people's homes now is one of the most alarming things because it will only be a matter of time before they go in your home.
00:54:56.000And that's why that, I don't know if it was the police commissioner or who made that press conference, but he was saying it's like, we've had over 17 of our police officers be doxxed by these Antifa folk.
00:55:08.000We don't want, they're going to people's houses.
00:55:12.000We know that they are, so we're trying to protect our officers who are trying to protect the citizens who aren't attacking the courthouse.
00:55:22.000But this is what we get in the Pacific Northwest if, you know, I mean, I'm pretty sure everybody realized this, especially with like Andy Ngo's coverage.
00:55:47.000So make sure, before we jump into this segment on China, and this is crazy because they may have violated sovereign territory, we'll read this, but you can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Parler at Timcast.

00:56:18.000Alright, check out this story we got from CNBC.
00:56:21.000FBI arrests Chinese researcher for visa fraud after she hid at consulate in San Francisco.
00:56:27.000CNBC reports a researcher who took refuge in the Chinese consulate in San Francisco after allegedly lying to investigators about her Chinese military service was arrested and will appear in court on Monday, according to a senior Justice Department official.
00:56:41.000According to court documents unsealed earlier this week in the Eastern District of California, Yuan Tang, a researcher at the University of California, Davis applied for a non-immigrant J-1 visa October 2019.
00:56:56.000The visa was issued in November 2019, and Tang entered the U.S.
00:57:02.000Tang allegedly made fraudulent statements on her visa application by concealing that she served in the Chinese military.
00:57:08.000The FBI concluded that Tang was a uniformed officer of the People's Liberation Army Air Force after photographs of her were uncovered on electronic media seized in accordance with a search warrant.
00:57:19.000I won't discuss the circumstances of the arrest, said the official who spoke on the condition of anonymity, adding that the individual did not have diplomatic immunity.
00:57:27.000The person said that the details of the arrest could be released when the defendant appears before the Eastern District of California Court Monday.
00:57:35.000The issue here is that their true status wasn't disclosed by visa application.
00:57:40.000The official said, adding that the arrest was not a tit-for-tat move as tensions between Washington and Beijing simmer.
00:57:46.000On Thursday, the FBI arrested Tang, who had avoided arrest by taking refuge in the Chinese consulate in San Francisco.
00:57:52.000Tang's arrest for alleged visa fraud follows those of three other Chinese researchers in California and Indiana.
00:57:58.000The arrests were described as a microcosm of a broader network of individuals in more than 25 cities.
00:58:04.000By their very nature, consulates are a base of operations for foreign governments to the U.S., including their intelligence services, and it's understood that there will be some activity here by those services.
00:58:16.000But because of their location within the United States and their status of sovereign territory of a foreign country, they cannot be exploited, and the espionage and influence activities run out of a consulate can rise, ultimately, to a level that threatens our national security.
00:58:31.000So this is where it's getting spicy, man.
00:58:33.000They shut down our consulate in Chengdu.
00:58:38.000A senior State Department official said, the arrests and the closure of the consulate in Houston are about targeting nefarious Chinese activity inside the U.S.
00:58:46.000No, they straight up called him out for spying on us.
00:59:36.000That's what I'm seeing from some reporters on the Chinese side.
00:59:42.000It says here that China's foreign ministry spokesman, Wang Wenbin, said some of the US Chengdu consulate personnel were conducting activities not in line with their identities.
00:59:54.000And had harmed China's security interests.
01:00:51.000So, the analogy I'm trying to use here is, so many people keep saying that, oh, China's no threat to the U.S., they're no threat to the U.S.
01:00:58.000Do you think that China, realizing that we have this massive technological advantage, would plan for a conflict based on physical force or ground forces?
01:01:08.000They're going to target infrastructure, manipulate social pressures, financial institutions.
01:01:14.000It is going to be a subversive, manipulative conflict.
01:01:18.000Fairly certain that's what's been going on for quite some time.
01:01:29.000He was talking about the exact same thing.
01:01:31.000All these companies that all of a sudden... You know what sickens me?
01:01:35.000I'm not going to name the NBA players, but you guys probably know who I'm talking about.
01:01:38.000These very, very high profile NBA players who are like, you know, oh, we need a movement and we're going to kneel and we're going to do all these things.
01:01:46.000And then when it comes to China, they're like, what's wrong with China?
01:01:56.000So you have to wonder why it is that China suppresses their population in the way they do with garbage wages, manipulates their currencies, and has these basically massive sweatshops.
01:02:10.000Man, this is horrifying about collectivism at this scale.
01:02:14.000These individuals who are walking off the building at Foxconn to their deaths, that was a big story a long time ago, they put up suicide nets to catch their bodies.
01:02:23.000The Chinese government sacrifices people in order to get an edge against us.
01:02:29.000So they put these people in crammed garbage apartments, And they pay them trash to make our phones.
01:02:35.000That way, American companies can't compete.
01:04:20.000If Trump didn't come around, and this is fascinating, especially considering the things I was, you know, my position several years ago, if Trump didn't do what he did with TPP and with American manufacturing, I talked about this years ago, China could snap their fingers and win the war.
01:05:24.000They would cut off our manufacturing because they controlled all of it.
01:05:27.000They were shutting down our ability to make things.
01:05:30.000But that executive order that he put in, President Trump put in, what is it, last week now?
01:05:36.000I know it was starting on Hong Kong, But the wordings that was in there was basically saying if you're connected to the party, if you're funded, if CP is connected through any means, even if you're a bystander and you have been helping them in any way, they can freeze your assets.
01:05:54.000So those millionaires and billionaires and all that stuff, it's like, I'm waiting for it.
01:06:05.000But I tweeted about this that I think you've got these billionaires that are lobbying for favorable policies for their interests in foreign companies, not necessarily just in China.
01:06:33.000I don't know to what degree Trump will actually pull things like that off, but you gotta imagine all of these woke billionaires that won't say one word against China will start thinking twice about their business operations.
01:06:50.000It was like indirectly assisting somebody associated with like, I know.
01:06:56.000So you could be a billionaire who owns a company that you don't pay attention to and they make shoes and the shoes are made in, you know, Shenzhen and then all of a sudden, Shenzhen or however you pronounce it.
01:08:06.000So, well, I mean, we were just kind of talking about this.
01:08:10.000I don't want to say that this is fortuitous in our favor, because this is terrible for a lot of Chinese citizens that's going on right now.
01:09:45.000If China contacted the United States right now and said, the dam is about to break and everyone in Wuhan will die unless the United States helps us right now and deploys and we can stop this, should the U.S.
01:10:00.000intervene to stop the dam from breaking?
01:11:58.000And I mean, I'm finding, I haven't found this to be true, but there is some people saying that they're diverting the water towards that dam to prevent it from damaging other areas that are key.
01:12:30.000On Tuesday, the Chinese financial news site Kaixing Lanyan released a controversial video that simulates the devastating flooding that would occur if the vaunted Three Gorges Dam collapsed.
01:12:41.000The video shows the path the wall of water might take.
01:12:44.000It includes an estimate of the speed, depth, and reach of the floodwaters all the way to Wuhan.
01:12:49.000The video starts out by stating the height of the dam is 181 meters above sea level.
01:12:54.000Its length is 2,355 meters, and the normal reservoir level is 175 meters,
01:13:01.000with a capacity of 39.3 kilometers cubed.
01:14:45.000But it was an old town, and then when they built the dam, it was the inverse.
01:14:50.000When they built the Hoover Dam, water started to fill up on the other side I guess, and it flooded the whole area, and so they just abandoned it.
01:14:57.000And now when the drought hit in the past few years, you could actually walk out and go to where the old foundations of the city used to be.
01:15:58.000For those that were following this, a Pentagon consultant said that they have vehicles that were made off-world, not of this Earth or something.
01:16:07.000Yeah, I'm gonna have to see that before I believe it.
01:16:09.000Yeah, I think I actually have a story for the National Review.
01:16:12.000Pentagon consultant briefed senators on discovery of off-world vehicles not made on this earth.
01:16:17.000The reality is he just said he concluded they're off-world vehicles.
01:16:23.000So I want to keep the focus on what's going on with China, to be honest, because the UFO stuff is the same old narrative.
01:17:15.000In which case, it's not surprising to see DDoS attacks, major hacks by the Chinese government, and cyber warfare be the true warfare that we see today.
01:17:23.000Or mental manipulation that take it a step further.
01:17:27.000Like when you see weird companies investing in news organizations in the United States from foreign governments, and only some of them get called out.
01:17:35.000You know, Russia Today is complete fake news, but Al Jazeera, that's good.
01:17:49.000They're going to say things the way they want them to be portrayed, for their interests, not ours.
01:17:55.000I don't know what you do about it, but I'll tell you what.
01:17:57.000We have Xinhua in the United States, and if you go to Times Square, I don't know if they still do, but for a long time, like, one of the tallest advertisements was a Xinhua advertisement.
01:19:11.000Doesn't China want to go to the moon now?
01:19:13.000I don't know about them, but I know that our plan is to make a space station that's going to orbit the moon, as well as a ground base also.
01:24:53.000It's a river and you jump in it and you're swimming to find the source and it's a field of elephants all simultaneously just pissing in a trench.
01:25:59.000Except the mayor has announced based on the information of these men, they're going to replace their new plumbing system with the great new supply of water.
01:30:18.000I've seen this story played over and over again.
01:30:20.000Someone goes and does something, they don't break any rules, and they get nuked before you realize it.
01:30:24.000And there's nothing you can do about it.
01:30:27.000I'm pretty sure Twitter knows what they're doing.
01:30:28.000They've skewed the idea of acceptable social opinions So far to the left that even just under half of far leftists are scared to speak their opinions.
01:30:39.000Now, one funny thing is I will mention this too.
01:30:42.000When we did that segment on the Cato Institute that found that half of the far left, slightly less than half, is scared to speak up their opinions, somebody commented saying, then they must have even more extreme opinions than we know of.
01:30:56.000And I'm thinking like, Yeah, I'd imagine if they were on the far left, maybe they would actually be further left than we realize.
01:31:55.000I say this all the time, that because we accept free speech and freedom and individual liberties, we allow collectivists and evil people an opportunity to grow and spread their ranks.
01:32:09.000We just have to make sure that those principles can overcome these evil people.
01:32:13.000You know where I think this came from?
01:32:15.000I think this came from our religious roots.
01:32:17.000I think this came from Christianity, because I've heard it said from multiple different sources that Christianity and religion like that contains the seeds of its own destruction because it's fostering curiosity and it's fostering a search for truth.
01:32:28.000So when you start to look for truth in science, you're planted the seeds of your own destruction.
01:33:53.000Our marketing budget is zero, but the concurrent viewers clicking share and sharing the video is a more powerful marketing budget than CNN could ever muster.
01:34:08.000Well, let's read some here Super Chats.
01:34:10.000Crown Mike says, The media needs to have an oversight committee, the same as the police do.
01:34:16.000They need to be held liable for slander and unsourced treasonous rhetoric.
01:34:21.000Well, they need to be held accountable for libel and slander for sure, but we gotta be careful because the First Amendment means bad people say bad things sometimes and they get away with it.
01:35:23.000It wouldn't surprise me that they're actually doing that because I mean, I don't remember what documentary I was, I was digging into, but it was about water.
01:35:31.000Like it goes into Mexico and talks about Mexico city and their, their issues that they're dealing with, with water, which is a serious issue also.
01:35:40.000But it also talks about Pakistan and India and how they've, they've been feuding over water sources and how it comes from the mountains.
01:35:48.000And that's where China is fighting India, right?
01:38:48.000KC, that's what makes it, I don't know.
01:38:51.000Josh in Jesus says, guys, I've always thought that Britney Pettibone and the two Laurens, Chen and Southern, basically invented the space for young conservative women that is now so huge online.
01:39:05.000I don't really think so, because I think there have always been conservative women.
01:39:08.000I actually found a conservative women's group just a little bit ago that focused on women on campus, which are like the literal tiniest minority you can possibly imagine, if you consider how liberal most young women are.
01:39:19.000So I'm glad that the Laurens and Brittany give conservative women a voice online, but I think that they're out there.
01:39:35.000Mark says, Hey Pim, have you seen that interview by Bori Yezminov about useless savants preventing our nation from becoming a hip country with free stuff?
01:41:21.000Hillary .2 points up and all that stuff.
01:41:24.000So if their tracking is correct right now, and I think, look, when you look at the opposition to Black Lives Matter going up since the riots.
01:42:01.000This is why it's very important that you guys share, not just the live show, because the live show is more like it's raw, so you don't know what you're going to get, but we put up the segments the next day.
01:42:11.000So listen, you'll see this show and the title of this is Democrats Lose Case Against Feds, Judge Says Trump Can Keep Operating in Portland.
01:42:18.000If you share that, people are going to be like, I'm not super interested in what that means necessarily.
01:42:23.000But we did a segment about how the media lies about Trump the other day that I think went up.
01:43:39.000Like if someone says, claims to have watched it, you can say, the point he made over it, like at the nine minute 17 mark was really interesting because, you know, what did you think about that?
01:43:47.000And they'll be like, oh, uh, I don't know.
01:45:45.000And if they see you saying, I'm sorry you're upset, I didn't mean to upset you, and the other guy says, F you, you fascist or whatever, then people are gonna come in and be like, this guy's crazy, this guy's being nice.
01:45:55.000And it's gonna make them be like, I'd rather talk to the guy who's nice.
01:45:58.000Now, I've talked about this all the time because Trump supporters learned this a long time ago.
01:46:02.000The analogy, and this is not even an analogy, this is literal reality, if you walk up to Antifa, Like, let's say you walk up to a bar, and you're in Washington, D.C., and there's Antifa cross-street protesting.
01:46:12.000Inside the bar is a bunch of, you know, Trump supporters drinking.
01:46:15.000You walk up to the Antifa people, and they'll be like, Who are you with?
01:46:49.000Kara says, if you're interested, I can invite one of you to the Cowlitz County Facebook page showing several hours of a protester stream from Portland.
01:46:58.000Lots of swearing against police forces.
01:47:00.000Well, that's just par for the course for these people, to be honest.
01:47:41.000Let's see, Crispy5 says, I'm a 20-year-old who sits socially left, economically right kind of mindset, and I could never find anyone to get actual news from that wasn't biased one way or the other.
01:47:51.000I love all three of you guys and this community.
01:47:53.000Thank you for being the real news and spin the UFO.
01:47:56.000Now, look, to be honest, I think we're biased.
01:48:38.000The worse they get, the worse the riots get, the worse the leadership gets, and the worse intersectionalism gets, the more I'm like, I think we need to grab onto that post before the waters sweep us away.
01:48:50.000I'll be fair, I think Trump's trade policy stuff was correct.
01:48:53.000There's not been a good argument placed against him.
01:48:55.000The most important thing I see when it comes to this political stuff, they're not arguing against him.
01:49:12.000It doesn't matter what you say, this is how I feel about my facts that I got from my emotions.
01:49:19.000If the Democrats came out and said something like, Trump shouldn't be using PACT, what he needs to do is set up a coalition with local police leadership and send in only U.S.
01:49:31.000Marshals, I'd be like, that's an interesting point.
01:49:33.000You think Trump's... No, they're not even saying that.
01:55:59.000And we've got a bunch of card designs.
01:56:01.000The mechanics are basically built out.
01:56:03.000We've just got to playtest it and refine it a little bit.
01:56:05.000But we're going to have a card game and you'll be able to open up a pack and you'll have your Peter Jordanson card and your wet Brian Stein card.
01:57:05.000Yeah, so we're setting up a bigger facility that can do a lot more, and one of the things we're gonna do is like a fact-checking division, like a literal news site, that's gonna function as like a, here's why this is not real.
01:57:16.000So imagine if someone said there's unidentified troops and you could go to a fact checking site that said,
01:57:21.000here's where all of these different sites said it was true and here's the judge and here's the video,
01:57:25.000here's the photo, and you're like, here's the photo showing the markings.
01:57:28.000So you can literally be like, dude, just read this.
01:57:29.000Just don't even, and then people will be like, I don't believe you, there's a photo.
01:58:36.00030 of the articles we pulled from their news division contained violations of journalistic ethics.
01:58:41.000Then you'll find like, you know, Vox, and it'll have like a 37 out of 100.
01:58:45.000And it'll be like, only 37 met our standards, met the standards of, you know, Thomson Reuters and SPJ.
01:58:52.000And then you'll find a lot of sites have none.
01:58:54.000You know what the funniest thing about it's gonna be though?
01:58:57.000When certain like right-wing sites score like, I mean like more fringy blogs, and end up with like a 40, and Vox ends up with a 30.
01:59:05.000And then it's going to be like, look, I think this is a bad source that I wouldn't use, but look at Vox.
01:59:12.000One of the things I really do believe it's possible that Vox ends up with a zero out of 100 because they don't label their articles as opinion.
01:59:20.000And that's a violation of journalistic ethics.
01:59:40.000If it's literally just an opinion site, we're not going to give someone a negative, you know, ethics because, a strike, because they're at a commentary site doing commentary.
01:59:49.000If they purport to be explaining the news like Vox does, and it's literally just leftist opinion, yeah, sorry, that's a violation of ethics.
01:59:57.000You're a lying dog-faced pony soldier.
02:01:53.000But then, once we wrap up, maybe in like 20 or 30 minutes, we'll come back and talk for a little bit more before we finally do wrap up the show.
02:01:59.000So, if you're not down with a jam session from me and Adam, thank you for hanging out.
02:17:00.000Yeah, so when I went hard a couple weeks ago, I did like three songs and I had a full belt and everything and then I lost my voice for a week.
02:17:30.000And I record about 3 hours and 40 minutes every day.
02:17:35.000And the interesting thing about this is, when you post something on Facebook about your opinion, and then someone says, like, Adam just keeps talking about this one thing, it's like, you realize that Adam will publish two hours worth of discussion, and they'll only talk to you about, like, one tiny Tiny, tiny morsel, you know?
02:17:52.000So I get that, you know, I've been getting that for a long time with having nearly four hours of content.
02:17:57.000They'll be like, you only talk about, you know, defending the police.
02:18:01.000And I'm like, did you watch all four hours of content I put out today?
02:18:13.000I mean, I don't watch as much as I used to, though, I'll be honest, because I'm researching a lot of the same stuff that you're talking about.
02:18:19.000And we're going to be doing a vlog channel with the new facility, and it's going to be skateboarding, it's going to be guns, archery, you know, all very safe stuff.
02:18:28.000The gun stuff will probably be not as... not as much.
02:18:33.000I just mean, like, it's not going to be like... because safety regulations, getting the proper instructors, making sure we have everything set up and secure.
02:18:39.000We want to be serious with it when we're filming, all that kind of stuff, so... But maybe we can be, you know, better prepared for...
02:18:47.000It's going to be a challenge, but we're going to do skateboarding stuff.
02:19:10.000But anyway, everybody, thanks for hanging out for the last bit of the show.
02:19:13.000I assume most of you already smashed the like button and subscribed and all that stuff because you guys are the hardcore fans who want to hang out, watch that new show.
02:19:48.000Actually, we'll have clips from the show up tomorrow, so for any of you who didn't catch the whole show, the clip system is the most important part because we actually, if you're only interested in, say, free speech, the free speech thing appears, so make sure you subscribe because we'll have clips up tomorrow, and we will be back live Monday, 8 p.m.
02:20:05.000Thanks for hanging out, everybody, and we will see you all next time.
