In this episode, we discuss the recent story about journalist Andy Ngo going undercover into an Antifa protest and being found out, being chased and beaten, and nearly killed. We are joined by Elijah Schaefer, who has experience on the ground covering Antifa and the Capitol riots, and we had a difference of opinion.
00:00:48.000In fact, Rolling Stone claimed that he was grifting and manipulating the press because it was very damaging to their narrative.
00:00:55.000Well, the news broke, I believe it was last week, or, you know, the week before, actually, the weekend before, that someone was attacked by an Antifa group.
00:01:04.000They claimed it was Andy Ngo in their photos, and no one was sure whether it was Andy Ngo or not.
00:01:08.000When word came out Andy issued a statement and confirmed this, a lot of people weren't necessarily surprised that Antifa would try to brutally beat a journalist, let alone Andy Ngo.
00:01:31.000My opinion was that I think Andy would be better served leading the charge and not going down personally.
00:01:37.000But feel free to disagree, and that's what we're gonna be talking about today, among a bunch of other things.
00:01:41.000We are hanging out with Elijah Schaefer, who has experience on the ground reporting not just covering Antifa, but the Capitol riots as well.
00:01:48.000And we had a difference of opinion, so I thought, why don't we have a longer conversation about the idea?
00:01:54.000specifically about him with Andy Ngo, but into the nitty gritty of covering Antifa,
00:01:57.000what Antifa is, what they do, and proper strategies for dealing with that, among a bunch of other
00:02:02.000things because I know that you were criticized by a lot of people for covering the January
00:02:07.0006th riot at the Capitol and there was a lot of weird...
00:02:28.000There's been this sort of a blowback towards these guerrilla journalists and reporters from the left sort of making them the problem.
00:02:34.000It started with, I think, I don't remember what her name was, but she was like a sort of butch lesbian looking professor from Harvard wrote a like op-ed talking about how Andy Ngo and myself and our coverage was sort of what was to blame for inciting more riots.
00:02:48.000And she sort of blamed the actual coverage of the events with what was sort of like the copycat Shootings that happen around the country that more people would see the footage be inspired by it and would continue to enact upon it And then we also have the intercept video the hit piece per se that was a major blowback That was trying to make people say well when you see the facts being recorded ask yourself the question Who's behind the camera recording the facts and video is a lie apparently right and not coming from an ideologue?
00:03:16.000Oh I mean, so you stuck your finger in an open gunshot wound.
00:03:19.000Really is what you did here is that people are feeling this sort of defense, altruistic, emotional defense for these people who put their lives on the line.
00:03:25.000Then, you know, Tim Pool comes, this YouTuber living in his mansion, a skater guy, and he gives his strong opinion.
00:03:51.000And then the other people saying, Tim, for ten years you were on the ground at the most dangerous places in the world.
00:03:56.000Who are you to criticize someone for doing the same thing?
00:03:58.000And I'm like, okay, so I guess both are wrong?
00:04:00.000But we'll get into the nitty-gritty of that.
00:04:02.000I also want to point out for everybody who's wondering, our internet did get struck by lightning, and getting Verizon to come out and fix it I'll give you an analogy, but it's just impossible.
00:04:15.000You know, we can call every single Verizon phone number in the book.
00:05:01.000Good conversation, because there's a big problem in the scientific community where measuring something can end up altering the substance or the situation that you're actually trying to measure.
00:05:11.000Just the act of measuring can disturb the system.
00:05:13.000So I wonder if journalism does that, especially when, like, if someone's in somebody's face, you know, like electron behavior, right?
00:05:19.000I mean, talking about whether or not you're monitoring it or not.
00:05:21.000You can have different patterns of behavior and recording.
00:05:24.000And I think criticisms of people in the media are valid.
00:05:28.000I think it's good to criticize people.
00:05:30.000I think people getting emotional even over this situation is foolish because even if you pick sides or you like people, the whole point of disagreements are that we can come to a better conclusion and try to understand really what is the better take, at least for ourselves, for the country.
00:05:44.000We seem to have lost that as a nation.
00:05:46.000And I think people are so into, who's your favorite internet celebrity?
00:05:49.000Your favorite e-boy or e-girl that they forget that these are real people, this is a real country.
00:05:53.000I know it's a shocker, but America is still a real country.
00:05:56.000Doesn't feel like it, but we still are.
00:05:58.000We'll talk about that too, because we've got a bunch of other stories as well, but Lydia, she's pressing the button.

00:06:49.000It makes it much more difficult for hackers and governments, spies, and just, you know, creepy people from spying on your data, tracking what you do.
00:06:57.000And if you're going to be doing a lot of work from home now that everyone's, you know, remote, it's probably a good idea to have some kind of defense.
00:07:03.000There's a bunch of other things that VPNs can do, because, you know, when you sign into your VPN, you can actually make it look like you're in Germany or France, wherever.
00:07:11.000And with that, I don't know, a lot of people have figured a lot of fun things to appearing in other parts of the world.
00:07:17.000But ultimately, I just tell people, look, you lock your doors, you lock your windows, because you want that security when you go to bed at night.
00:07:22.000You don't really expect someone to break in, you know, every day or all the time.

00:07:40.000We record these so, you know, our internet has been struck by lightning, and it's basically down, and we're doing everything in our power to fix it, but again, maybe y'all can tweet at Verizon and be like, why aren't you fixing the internet?
00:08:09.000Journalist Andy Ngo says he was nearly killed by Antifa while undercover at Oregon protest.
00:08:16.000Conservative journalist Andy Ngo said he was chased and beaten by Antifa members while covering a protest in Portland, Oregon late last month.
00:08:21.000Noe, who says he has focused on exposing Antifa for years, said no journalist in America should ever face violence for doing his or her job.
00:08:30.000The attack occurred on May 28th while Noe was covering the ongoing protests and riots in Portland for a new chapter of his book, Unmasked, inside Antifa's radical plan to destroy democracy.
00:08:38.000In a Twitter thread on June 2nd, Noe explained that he had to mitigate risks like other beat reporters would on the field, so he covered his face and eyes to do the job and stay alive.
00:08:47.000He told Fox News his disguise began to fall apart when rioters noticed that he had not been participating in throwing projectiles at law enforcement or trying to damage the Central Police Station.
00:08:57.000The mob allegedly pulled his mask off and upon confirming his identity chased him through downtown Portland before one caught up and repeatedly punched his head and face.
00:09:05.000A video of the incident shared by the Willamette Week, uh, by the Willamette Week, shows a group of masked individuals who are mostly white, banging on the windows of the Nine's Hotel, where Noh was a temporary refugee, was a temporary refuge, before ending up in the emergency room with multiple injuries.
00:09:20.000I do have to point out that this article published by Yahoo, it's kind of hilarious how they're like, the protesters were mostly white, because even though they don't like Andy, they have to point out he is still a person of color being beaten by white people.
00:12:06.000I think Crowder has infiltrated some of these groups.
00:12:09.000Not all of them use Antifa in their brand name, but many of them do.
00:12:13.000Now, what they're trying to do is manipulate people into thinking, ignore this, there's nothing to see here, ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears, or more importantly, CNN just won't show it.
00:12:22.000One of the reasons Andy's been a major thorn in the side of these leftists is that when they beat him the first time, it forced CNN to actually mention it.
00:12:30.000Oh, O'Brien Stelter gave it a good 10 seconds because he had no choice.
00:12:51.000But if you're a conservative, and you go down and say, that guy threw a flaming Molotov cocktail at a police station, they say you're a right-wing troll and grifter.
00:12:58.000Then when you actually start exposing them, they have to smear, they have to lie about you, they have to defame you.
00:13:03.000And that brings us into, I guess, the crux of the actual discussion and debate about field reporting.
00:13:09.000The risks that people face, the appropriate strategy.
00:13:11.000And the first thing I'll say is, For those that aren't familiar with what happened, I was very critical.
00:13:17.000And it was like, I think, you know, I covered the story when it came out.
00:13:30.000Why would he put himself at risk for this for something that wasn't like, you know, it's like he's covered all of the motives, the modus operandi, the tactics that they've done.
00:13:40.000You know, what really bothered me was there were a bunch of conservatives, I shouldn't say conservatives, more like anti-woke personalities, a handful, who expressed to me agreement.
00:13:49.000They were like, yeah, there's no way that was Andy.
00:13:53.000And then all of a sudden you get all these people tweeting saying things like, oh, you know, we no longer agree with that view because they found it actually was Andy.
00:14:01.000And even to this day, there have been many people on the right who have expressed privately to me their agreement with my opinion that Andy shouldn't have been down there, and we'll get into the reasons why, but now, publicly, they won't say anything.
00:14:11.000Well, for me expressing my opinion, I got, you know, thousands of dislikes on a video, people are saying, I'm unfollowing you, and they're not, they're, they're, leave, no, you know, I'm getting unsubscribed from YouTube and stuff like that.
00:14:21.000People on the right are calling me a grifter, and I'm like, if I was a grifter, I would just pander to y'all and just tell you what you wanted to hear.
00:14:27.000Like, it's not like I'm endearing myself to the left by saying Antifa are psychopaths.
00:14:31.000But there are a lot of people I think who are too scared to actually speak up and express themselves.
00:14:35.000So I'll tell you my thoughts on this, we've expressed it quite a bit, is that Andy's too high profile.
00:14:41.000He is the number one target for Antiva, especially in Portland.
00:14:46.000He is, as I metaphorically described him, a general in the culture war who sent himself down into enemy frontline infantry with no support, no security.
00:14:57.000And I said that was reckless and dumb.
00:14:59.000He wouldn't have—I don't think he could have produced any coverage of a local Antifa protest that would have been more than he's covered in the past.
00:15:07.000And if there was something there I'm not familiar with—perhaps he wanted to write a chapter for his book—he could have hired someone and sent them down.
00:15:16.000And for those that aren't familiar, because a lot of people don't seem to understand, I know I'll get flack from this from people being like, here comes Tim stroking his ego.
00:15:22.000But a lot of people are like, Tim has no idea what he's talking about because he just sits in a room.
00:15:26.000For about nine years, I was on the ground at all of these protests across the US.
00:15:30.000I was at the Battle of Berkeley, like two or three of them.
00:15:33.000I was physically attacked like a handful of times.
00:15:35.000I went on Tucker Carlson after Antifa attacked me in Boston.
00:15:39.000And at a certain point, I think I'll agree with Megyn Kelly in her statement, enough is enough.
00:15:43.000You become too famous, people start searching for you, and you're not there covering the story anymore, so you're not really helping people understand what's happening if you are creating a massive ripple by being there.
00:16:15.000You know, it wouldn't make sense for me.
00:16:16.000It wouldn't make sense for James O'Keefe to start trying to infiltrate Planned Parenthood.
00:16:19.000At a certain point, you're famous, and it's time to start leading that charge.
00:16:23.000That was my main criticism, but well, let's open the discussion.
00:16:26.000Yeah, let's talk about this, because something interesting, too, that I think people forget is that a lot of people grift in the use Field reporting sort of there's this way to get in front of the camera and their ultimate goal is they want to be a host This is very common, right?
00:16:37.000I mean, I'm not claiming Jesse waters or any of these people grifted their way up But they start out as sort of a pundit and they're out in the field and then they move up into their own show I happen to have had a podcast before I went out on the field myself It's always been coinciding.
00:16:51.000My podcast has always been about what I see on the field So there's sort of that duplicity but someone like Andy Andy is not a media personality.
00:17:14.000He's not working for any major network.
00:17:16.000I know that he's partially editing with the Post Millennial, but I know that they don't pay their employees that well, so he can't be making that much money.
00:17:23.000The point being is that when Andy went out that night, arguments could be made that, was it stupid?
00:17:30.000It was stupid, but it's stupid for every journalist who would go out, because this is where I tend to disagree.
00:17:35.000People don't realize that Andy wasn't targeted that night, that I believe, because he was Andy Ngo initially.
00:17:41.000He was targeted because he was somebody that was suspiciously recording events, because Antifa have specific rules that nobody can livestream or record their activities.
00:17:50.000Which is why people ask you, well, why don't you bring security?
00:17:55.000Well, anything that shows possible federal intervention, possible law enforcement, makes you a high-risk target, they will disband, they will not act, and they will find a place to go to commit their crimes while you're trying to record and expose the event.
00:18:24.000Well yeah, what I was gonna say is that with Portland, this is what I'm getting into, with Portland is a very difficult and a tough spot which is how Andy obviously got a platform because a lot of people do not want to record and film Portland and Tifa.
00:18:35.000Might I remind you, too, they do this stuff almost on the nightly.
00:18:38.000And so I think we need to easily discriminate against the fact that initially, Andy was not targeted because he's high profile.
00:18:46.000He was targeted because he was reporting on a group that does not allow reporters to film or record them.
00:18:54.000It's not that if you only have 11 followers, you're gonna have some sort of a getaway.
00:18:58.000Even reporters, I think PDX Media, who's also Asian, who was recording them, who follows their rules, He was recently attacked by them too, because they've gotten to the point where even the journalists that follow their assisted rules, like a lot of journalists do in DC, they're starting to attack them if they record crimes being committed.
00:19:15.000So this isn't an exclusive to people that are high profile, this is reporters, journalists across the board.
00:19:21.000We'll come back to that, but you know that Andy does have a podcast.
00:19:44.000And so to me, when you're saying just the argument, I'm just debunking like the initial statement, Is that Andy, I don't believe, was attacked simply because he was Andy.
00:19:53.000I think he would have been attacked regardless.
00:19:54.000I think because he was Andy, he was nearly killed.
00:19:59.000But they will attack quickly if they realize you are not a reporter or a journalist that is pre-approved and they ask around and they realize you could be some sort of antithesis at any point, shape, or form.
00:20:13.000And I know this because even when I initially documented them when I was low profile, they still gave me a concussion when they realized I wasn't on their side.
00:20:42.000He reportedly had a Black Lives Matter flag over his shoulders, wearing as a cape, and then he was wearing goggles and a mask.
00:20:49.000And my understanding is what happened was, and I think this was his statement, that one guy walked up and started asking him questions.
00:20:56.000Andy said he didn't respond to those questions, so they started interrogating him more, and then someone ran up, pulled his mask off, and yelled, that's Andy, and then he started running.
00:21:04.000So my understanding is the initial targeting was simply because he was out of place.
00:21:09.000Antifa was probably looking for some kind of infiltration, and they found Andy, of all people, like their number one target, and then chased him and beat him.
00:21:39.000Like, I've never been of the opinion that a woman should walk through a dark alley at night with a miniskirt and not take responsibility for, you know, being reckless or unsafe.
00:21:47.000I've always been of the opinion that personal responsibility starts with you first and foremost.
00:21:52.000So my bigger issue, obviously Antifa is wrong, they're the criminals, they're violent extremists, but why cheer for sending down one of your most prominent and important journalists covering an issue by themselves?
00:22:06.000Why not just say, hey, start an organization like James O'Keefe did and start hiring reporters to go down and do these things?
00:22:11.000And that's exactly... But how would that change?
00:22:13.000Like, that's my point, is when you see people like Brandon Farley or different people that are out there that go and record, right?
00:22:19.000Even like Katelyn Delmeda quickly found that out when he started reporting for Scriber News.
00:22:22.000You can be a no-name No profile person, the minute that they feel like you are recording them, they feel that's a threat.
00:22:31.000And they think that because... You have to realize, too... But we're not talking about recording.
00:22:35.000You can infiltrate Antifun, be part of their meetings.
00:22:38.000Yes and no they've gotten a lot more organized and it's less hyped from the election to where there's not as much just natural grassroots coalition that they've begun to become more organized I would say in some ways a greater threat in some ways less but they they know who you are and a group like in Portland can quickly find out who's legit and who's not and I've seen this because when I was in Rochester It's usually a riot has about one day where it's chaos and mayhem and by the second or third day Antifa moves in and some of these hot spots they organize they get umbrella lines they have medics that come out and it becomes sort of a leftist resistance.
00:23:13.000Some of these more small events are just kind of people walking around breaking windows committing petty crimes and I think what it's come down to is that it's saying how would him like this is where my question is how would Andy hiring journalists Be any less risky to those journalists than Andy recording, because from my experience, those journalists are just as capable as being attacked, especially if they find out they worked for Andy.
00:23:37.000There's a journalist hired or contracted by Andy.
00:23:40.000Let's say Andy starts an organization, or any journalist.
00:23:43.000They're there, they're wearing a mask, they're infiltrating Antifa.
00:23:46.000Someone walks up and asks them a question, and they don't answer.
00:23:48.000Then people start surrounding him because this person isn't answering, and then someone pulls the mask off and says, I don't know who that is.
00:23:59.000If they say who are you, they'll probably grab your phone, they'll probably punch you, they'll push you back, they'll quickly surround you, start hitting you with umbrellas, it becomes a mob, they might start macing you in the face, and unless you run for your life and you're able to get away, they'll mob you.
00:24:12.000So just, you're down there in a black block, you're not filming, you're just infiltrating, and I've never seen that happen.
00:24:20.000I've been physically attacked probably like eight or ten times.
00:24:23.000You don't remember recently they had the fake, okay so there was like a fake white supremacist rally in Portland that somebody trolled Antifa on but people went to go record it was this big deal and pretty much people who were just standing around started getting attacked even if they were just observing because they weren't covered in block and I remember watching this one individual who was who was recording from far away even ran up to the police as people started fleeing Because what happens in TIFA does is they take over
00:27:10.000I'm saying people thought that that was a jab like that's what I
00:27:13.000From talking to people, it came across like, look what could happen when you make the risk, making light of it, and then saying it was unbelievably stupid.
00:27:22.000This is what I think where people misunderstood you, and I'm being honest.
00:27:24.000Because these people don't understand the greater... I think people thought it was more of just a slight on somebody else rather than coming across just like, hey, Andy, we're all concerned for you.
00:28:25.000But what was funny was when we were talking about, they did this scenario where they made us drive to a checkpoint.
00:28:32.000And we're all in these, we're in two SUVs when all of a sudden a bunch of guys surround us with a bunch of different guns and start firing them while the, they were blanks obviously, and then they make us all get out at gunpoint, we all get on our knees, we lay down on the ground, they go through us one by one taking all our belongings and then all of a sudden they grab all the women, pick them up and carry them off into a barn, drag them off into a barn where we hear all the women screaming.
00:28:54.000So all the men are sitting there hearing the woman scream and the guy with the gun say get in your vehicles and leave and then started laughing and making sexual suggestive gestures and things like that.
00:29:02.000So we go back to the main headquarters and we walk in and we all sit down and then a few minutes later all the women come back in and then the guy who's like this fan like this this like you know former high-ranking MI5 or whatever British intelligence goes.
00:29:14.000These things happen when you're out there, and you need to understand that what you experience could happen to you.
00:29:20.000And someone asked, like, what do we do in that situation when they take all the women?
00:29:24.000And he was like, sometimes there's nothing you can do.
00:29:28.000And then someone said, is this something only women have to be worried about?
00:29:32.000And this was the funniest part because, you know, running a corporation in the United States, you have discrimination laws.
00:29:38.000So he immediately was like, well, I mean, Men get raped, too.
00:29:48.000If you're going into an area where they specifically target women for sexual abuse and slavery, then maybe it makes sense not to send women to certain areas.
00:29:55.000I'll give you a physical, I'll give you a real-world example.
00:29:58.000A Vice reporter went to, I think Algeria was the story, and she was told, you cannot legally go down to the football stadium, soccer stadium, because you're a woman, and this country doesn't allow it.
00:30:58.000So, I've been covering all of this stuff for the past 10 years.
00:31:01.000I was on the ground in Boston, Antifa attacked me, I was in Occupy Wall Street when the Black Bloc extremists physically attacked me over and over again.
00:31:08.000And early on, they weren't prominent or powerful.
00:31:12.000Regular leftist or liberal activists really hated them in a lot of ways because they were disruptive, but they had this thing where they said, we must respect the diversity of tactics.
00:31:23.000Well, as they become increasingly more violent and the far-left extremists gain more and more control, it started to get more and more difficult for me to even go anywhere.
00:31:31.000When I was in Berkeley, I was just skateboarding, not during any of these protests.
00:31:35.000It was like a day or two before, and I had some far-lefty dudes actually threaten me, and some guy gets in between, he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, get out of, you know, like, this guy's in my face, he's yelling at me saying, you're that, you're that Trump guy!
00:31:46.000And then this guy walks up and he goes, are you a Trump supporter?
00:31:54.000Like, how is it that I'm even just skateboarding around and these guys are threatening me?
00:31:58.000What good am I going to be able to do personally if I just go down here and what happens is they point at me, run over and start attacking me.
00:32:05.000Did you see that guy the other night who was just out on a date, ended up in jail for like seven hours because he happened to be in the crosshairs of police rounding up some sort of civil unrest?
00:32:13.000And he was on a date and ended up going to jail as a provocateur.
00:32:39.000My point is that you look like someone, You can get attacked simply because somebody's having a bad day and you're a target, but ultimately what I want to bring down to this is that the reason why I hate even blaming Andy is because you would think that America, like I said, is a serious country, and the reason how this is even possible
00:32:58.000When Andy went into that 9's hotel, which is a very nice hotel, by the way.
00:33:09.000People don't know this, too, that the ABC journalists who cover that stuff, that's where they stay, and they all ride first class.
00:33:13.000And they lied to me on the plane, ABC did.
00:33:15.000They tried to pretend like they weren't reporters and tried to find out where I was from and why I was recording.
00:33:18.000And then it turned out I found out they were ABC just doing weird leftist sketchy stuff, as always.
00:33:24.000Uh, but when I, but I, knowing that hotel, it's like that hotel, the first thing they were concerned about when Andy walked in or ran in was that he had, didn't have a mask on.
00:33:32.000And he was like, this is what I'm saying, how backwards these places are.
00:33:34.000Like there's clearly an altercation, but this has become so a part of Portland life that somebody running into your hotel away from a crazy black block mob is like your first concern isn't the mob or the person being attacked.
00:33:45.000It's the fact that they're not wearing a mask.
00:33:48.000This is where I'm saying why this is so effed up though.
00:33:50.000And then it's like, well, you got to get out.
00:33:51.000And it's like, clearly you're going to throw this person to the wolves.
00:33:54.000But this city, the hotel, and these people get sick of it.
00:33:57.000You're trying to operate a four-star hotel, and you see that these black bloc people are walking around with immunity for well over a couple years now.
00:34:02.000I mean, a couple get arrested as pity.
00:34:05.000Then you have this stupid attorney general, you know, and these people who come out there in the city, and they redefine what crime is based off of intent.
00:34:14.000And you end up having a system where police no longer want to police because they don't want to risk their lives because if they get in the way and intervene and make an arrest there'll be no prosecution the people will get out immediately and so everyone's left to fend for themselves and so while the reason why i was like kind of not shocked by what you said because i don't give a crap like meaning if people have different opinions but it's like this idea of making it seem almost as if andy was asking for it i don't think that's entirely true i think the system itself
00:34:42.000to blame because I don't think whether it's Andy or a small journalist the fact
00:34:45.000that it's I believe equally unsafe for every journalist that is not in line
00:34:50.000with them not not to the extreme once they find you they might hurt you harder
00:34:53.000if you're somebody who they disagree with but the fact that this is okay that
00:34:57.000it's tolerated that we've become accustomed to this I always say this if
00:35:00.000Andy wasn't gonna do this we just had this whole slew of people who were
00:35:03.000documenting these crimes and Andy's just being some puffed-up egotistical POS and
00:35:08.000is walking around going well I for my fame and my grift I need to be the one
00:35:12.000to record fine I see the point but I don't see anyone else stepping up to the
00:35:16.000plate that isn't a complete wussy I mean shoot when you go down here to DC I was
00:35:21.000set I was undercover there well people tell people hey you can't record you
00:35:26.000gotta understand the rules that they have and that's the problem is like
00:35:29.000where are the good journalists that actually could do the job in his place
00:35:32.000and Andy asked to come on this show earlier this year to promote his book
00:36:23.000Andy Ngo has 850,000 followers on Twitter, and they're targeting him.
00:36:27.000So if I'm looking for a good view on the ground, we've got four... There's a couple other people who have been on the ground as well that we had on the show, but the Riot Squad has been at every single major protest, and the only reason I know about these protests is because of, for the most part, Richie McInnes.
00:36:43.000And the rest of the Riot Squad for sure, but I mean, he's the guy who goes down there and then comes here and says, yo, here's what happened and talks about it.
00:36:50.000Obviously, I can't go down there because I'd probably just get shot in the face or beat to a pulp.
00:36:56.000Well, for the time being, until we launch the newsroom, we've been trying to do this for some time, we can just bring people onto the show to shed a light on what's going on.
00:37:05.000Well, I get substantially more views doing this show, and I can't go on the ground because I wouldn't be able to be there for five hours filming.
00:38:18.000So at a certain point, you can't be on the ground anymore.
00:38:20.000There's a shelf life for reporters in conflict.
00:38:23.000So I would say that I, this is what I would say, I'd say that there are reporters who do stay in conflict, like you're saying, that do have increased security.
00:38:29.000This is a new road that's being pioneered.
00:38:32.000I think a lot of people, like I said, use reporting to get the job that they want because I think generals are made in the trenches.
00:38:39.000I think that it understands that there's a lot of ways to prove yourself in a business.
00:38:42.000If you're in stocks, make a good investment for your clients and make the company a lot of money, show that you were able to take the risk and the reward.
00:38:49.000If you want to be in media, when you show people that you're not just in it for the money, you work for no money, and put your life on the line to get footage other people wouldn't, it says something about your character that I think is important and gives you opportunities in other areas.
00:39:02.000I don't think that Andy's end goal is to get somewhere.
00:39:06.000I think that he really cares passionately about covering and documenting Antifa.
00:39:10.000I think this is going to be a rude wake-up call for him, but I also don't think he's trying to get somewhere.
00:39:16.000And I mean that seriously, because people always ask me, it's like, Well, why don't you, why don't you report still?
00:39:58.000Like clearly what he's doing is important.
00:40:00.000So the problem I have ultimately, and the reason this escalates beyond me just like putting out a tweet being like, that was dumb.
00:40:07.000And then a bunch of people start tweeting about it, it's like, man, the left is really good at this.
00:40:12.000They're really good at this, they're willing to sacrifice their own, they're willing to burn down and destroy their own cities to get what they want, and their tactics work because they have control of cultural institutions.
00:40:21.000But right now, you have people on the right celebrating, like, a strategic failure.
00:40:25.000You know, a serious risk to, uh, to the coverage, to exposing what these people do.
00:41:11.000Talk about it almost every single day.
00:41:14.000But I've never ascribed the belief that women should just walk through dark alleys at night with miniskirts and take no responsibility for putting themselves in dangerous situations.
00:41:23.000It's always been the left that said men should just not You know, assault women.
00:41:28.000And I'm like, that's true and correct, yes.
00:41:30.000And also, considering that men do, and there are, you know, bad people, rapists, we'll just say it.
00:41:37.000I don't care what YouTube thinks of the algorithm.
00:41:39.000Considering they exist, shouldn't women have a gun?
00:41:59.000If we sacrifice all of our high-profile individuals for these one-offs where they can go and walk into the fray of... These Antifa people are the bottom of the barrel in terms of useful idiots for the far left.
00:42:37.000So we have to deal with the reality, not with the hyperbole of what we wish the world was, some utopia.
00:42:43.000But this also brings up just the greater threat that I think is very interesting is that you could say maybe that he was being risky or naive but also remember the guy has a British accent.
00:42:52.000I don't think his number one loyalty is like just to the United States.
00:42:55.000I think he cares about covering far-left extremism.
00:42:57.000He used to cover Islamic extremism before and then he switched to this other form of extremism which he saw obviously breeding in the city that he lived in.
00:43:05.000He was one of the first to really begin to document this up close in that city and consistently stay with it.
00:43:11.000And I think that when it comes to with Andy specifically recording this, I think he did underestimate them.
00:43:17.000John Hacker, who's the guy who helped ID him, he's a burn victim.
00:43:21.000And this is my point about people, this is not you to be making fun of, you know, deformed people.
00:43:26.000This is not me exactly saying what it is.
00:43:28.000Someone like John Hacker, who I've had long-term conversations with, is a probably 6'3", 6'4", heavyset, borderline obese, Burn victim, whose face was melted off, has no nose, stubbed fingers, clearly somebody who would probably face scrutiny, rejection, sadly, in society.
00:43:47.000He has a very important role for Rose City Antifa.
00:43:49.000And if he's watching this, he probably even watches your show sometimes, he's a pretty level-headed dude.
00:43:53.000And I'm saying this, and I know that, because people are cruel.
00:43:55.000And if you look like that, people are not going to offer you certain jobs, they're not going to let you into society.
00:44:00.000And this guy now works with Antifa, who is an idea per se, as people say, not a group, but he
00:45:01.000But I also have taken risks as well, heavy risks in a lot of different areas.
00:45:06.000I mean, even just before the Capitol stuff that happened, I was just in DC.
00:45:10.000There was just, they wanted to assassinate me, and the FBI asked me not to come back to the city for some time because of the active threat of assassination.
00:45:17.000And I still came back because the story of what was happening then was big enough that it was worth risking my life.
00:45:23.000And that's where I think the question was coming, which is a valid point of yours, is that Does Andy realize how influential he is, how big he is, and the risk-reward when people always say, well, why aren't you covering Portland nightly terrorists?
00:45:36.000I go, bro, exactly what happened to Andy will happen to me if I go out there.
00:45:41.000People don't realize I'm like a six foot two white guy of a pretty decently, even with this gas mask on, they always find me.
00:47:28.000I only found out the moment Andy tweeted that there's a bunch of conservatives who knew it was Andy and basically had a tacit agreement not to say anything to give him the opportunity.
00:47:58.000They wouldn't extend that benefit to any of these mainstream media journalists, and the mainstream media journalists wouldn't extend that benefit to any conservative at all.
00:48:04.000This is gonna sound mean, but actually at first I didn't think it was Andy because the guy looked thinner than I knew Andy was last time I saw him.
00:48:11.000So I was like, I think another person wrote the same thing, like, that could be Andy, but that's not how I remember Andy looking.
00:48:19.000And so I remember Andy just having more weight on him, thinking that's...
00:48:22.000And I didn't want to get into that whole all Asians look alike thing where it's like, yeah, it's probably Andy because I just was like, I'm not going to get into this.
00:48:28.000I did message Andy multiple times and was like, Hey, legitimately speaking, is this you?
00:48:33.000And I didn't find out till like right before he was issuing his statement.
00:48:37.000And then I asked him if he would, which is actually a great thing to come on to my show
00:48:40.000and to talk about the statement and have a real discussion because I'm like, rather than
00:48:43.000just trying to get some Twitter fame, would you come on and discuss this?
00:48:45.000I know he's limiting his appearances right now from what he said, but when it comes to
00:48:51.000booking the thing, I mean, the guy still has to make a living.
00:49:25.000But I do think, too, that the tribalism came simply because there has been, on the left, an attack on people who are not left-wing reporters.
00:49:34.000Like, they don't even accept Andy Ngo as being a journalist at any point ever.
00:49:38.000So, uh, I'll first preface by saying nobody owes me their time at all.
00:49:42.000But, uh, why do you think it is Andy hasn't responded to my DMs or my requests for him to come on the show?
00:50:01.000I mean, I have limited conversations in terms of why he wouldn't be appearing.
00:50:06.000I know I did talk to him after his statement after I read it and really got into detail and asked him
00:50:10.000How he's doing and what's going on the same way when you wrote your tweets?
00:50:13.000I rather than bothering you I messaged your producer or whatever and was like yo, we should talk about this because
00:50:18.000i'm not into the bs Theatrics of just making things like online people realize
00:50:22.000we know each other We I would say I would say friends in the fact that there's
00:50:27.000mutual respect And so these are real people.
00:50:30.000Andy knows not a character in a movie.
00:50:31.000And so, yeah, I'm going to reach out to him and really try to find out.
00:50:34.000But also too, I mean, like I'd consider myself to be close friends with Andy to a regard because I respect, I've respected him over the years.
00:50:41.000For a while out of protest, it was just me and Andy at some of these things.
00:50:45.000So I, you know, developed the friendship there, even though he's, you know, I'm a lot further right than he is in terms of politically speaking.
00:50:52.000Uh, but I mean, if he doesn't respond to go on your show, I mean- Even just saying- I mean, look- Are you saying that it's because- He doesn't owe me time or responsibility.
00:50:59.000No, I know, but are you saying it's because- Because anything other than the fact that he's recovering and limiting, like, appearances?
00:51:06.000Because I even invited him up to my house and he even said no, because- He responded.
00:51:11.000Well, I called him, like physically called his phone and was like, he didn't respond to any messages, but I physically called him and was like, hey, could you come over?
00:51:18.000And he was like, I'm honestly, I am recovering and I'm just like, I can see you in a couple of weeks.
00:52:26.000Oh, well, I mean, where it's legal to carry, I carry.
00:52:29.000You know, my fear with Andy is he got so famous when he got the milkshake thrown at his head with cement in it or something, so famous from that injury, that now in the drug world, they call it chasing the dragon.
00:52:40.000You're always looking for your next big high.
00:52:41.000And you remember how you got your last one, so you try and re-replicate it.
00:52:44.000And so even if it's subconsciously, he's allowing himself to get hurt for the publicity.
00:53:00.000I know they say that there was no cement in the milkshakes, and I have no idea what the truth is about any of this stuff because I've heard all sides.
00:53:06.000All I know is he did have a lot of medical expenses, and I did verify those because that's kind of how I met him, was just what actually happened the first time.
00:53:14.000And I don't think this is comparable to the first time in terms of actual long-term damage.
00:53:18.000I mean, the first time he was in a big public protest with a bunch of regular journalists and cops during the day, and they just started beating the crap out of him.
00:53:31.000And so I know, but they say, they just, just like they say, he sends Killis to Atomwaffen.
00:53:36.000That's why they don't like him now, because they say he works with white supremacists and he, and he sends them Killis of Antifa and gets them killed.
00:54:06.000I went I I went undercover just to do what he did, to go attend a big rally, a counter-rally against Proud Boys up in Portland.
00:54:15.000I just do this to monitor situations, and it's a luxury that has been afforded to me working with BlazeTV.
00:54:21.000It's been a good show, Slightly Offensive has been doing well, and I'm really grateful for the support, and I've been able to travel, and go places, and observe.
00:54:27.000And I went to this big rally at a park.
00:54:31.000And I don't think people know how much they hate this dude.
00:54:34.000Someone on the microphone, and we're talking about maybe 1,200 people, 800 to 1,200 people, BlackBlock.
00:54:38.000That's how many people attend these things.
00:54:41.000was like, just said Andy Ngo's name, and it was the largest collective boo I have heard in a long time.
00:54:53.000And like, I'm going, I started looking around, I'm like, if they only knew I was here, and that every Riot Squad member is here right now in, like, blog hanging out.
00:55:04.000Bro, many of them don't know who Andy Ngo is other than his name, which is why they attacked random Asian people thinking it was Andy.
00:55:11.000I was at a Cernovich speech in New York and one person, I was just standing in the middle of the crowd of all these people filming, and then one guy yells, that's Tim Poole, don't let him film you.
00:55:21.000And they all looked around confused because they don't know anything.
00:55:26.000So then, all of a sudden, some random, like, leftist walks up to some old man wearing a vest, who's a photographer, and starts yelling, YOU'RE THE PROBLEM, YOU'RE THE REASON, blah blah blah, and screaming at him, and the old guy's like, shrugging like, I-I-I don't understand.
00:55:38.000I thought it was hilarious, cause they didn't know who Tim Poole was, other than someone said Tim Poole bad.
00:55:43.000And then it was funny when some guy, the guy then, no, no, no, not him, him.
00:55:47.000And he points at me, you know what I did?
00:55:48.000I just turned and looked around like, where, where is he?
00:55:51.000And then finally he's like him and he walked over and then they surrounded me.
00:55:54.000Started saying thing like you're Cernovich's friend and all this stuff.
00:55:58.000And I'm like, I don't even know the guy.
00:55:59.000And then some woman, I back away from the crowd and I'm just standing there filming.
00:56:03.000And some young, like 20 year old blonde woman goes to security and starts
00:56:07.000making a bunch of crazy stuff about me.
00:56:09.000She's like, this guy has been sending our names to white supremacist groups.
00:57:07.000They saw people like Andy, like myself, people who were reporting that were blowing up, that were getting jobs and careers and working in media over going to these events, over documenting things in conflict.
00:57:16.000This is not the first time this has happened.
00:57:18.000This has happened for decades and decades in the media.
00:57:21.000And a lot of people during the Trump era sort of were like, oh, I can do that too, right?
00:57:25.000I'm just going to grab my phone and I'm going to film, which is totally great.
00:57:28.000I'm so glad people want to get out there and they want to document and they want to film things.
00:57:32.000I think a lot of people quickly find out the mitigated risks are high, and the reward is very low up front.
00:57:37.000The chances of your footage actually being seen by a lot of people relies on it being shared and retweeted.
00:57:41.000The monetary exchange is next to none, unless you're good at negotiating for rights to your footage.
00:57:47.000And also, on top of that, the physical risk of going there and getting beat up and hurt either by police... I always remind people, my worst injury doing this was from DHS, not from... Department of Homeland Security is the one who's hurt me the worst.
00:58:05.000It was at the federal courthouse and they just shot with a gas powered like point-blank with a like whatever flash being in my shin and just cracked open my shin my leg and just it was just really gross and pussy and bloody and this is just end up on the floor in the middle of riot.
00:58:19.000This is the biggest issue I'm having with the situation is the young new people that are inspired and want to get a camera and go out there and the Basically, it's like a divulgence between idealism and pragmatism, or idealism and realism.
00:58:31.000Like, the idealism is journalists should be able to go there and do their thing and not get hurt.
00:58:47.000So if these young people come up and they think that idealism is what's going to get them there, they're going to find themselves in situations where they get hurt.
00:58:53.000And I really want Andy to understand that.
00:59:00.000Uh, I mean he's going there to like rally and just like to piss them I mean, I'm not not accusing anything I'm saying just kind of go in there to be a part of this this this thing And he ends up actually losing his life from from this BLM Antifa guy who ends up Aaron Danielson Yeah, yeah, but I think it was like nickname was J. Oh, yeah, like JJ.
01:02:24.000If we know that we are involved in what people have called a cold civil war, that was this Princeton professor, a democrat by the way, said it was a cold civil war a couple years ago.
01:02:33.000And to the point now where people have literally been killed, and many others have gone to prison in these fights, we need to start treating these things like There's no America right now.
01:02:44.000Maybe people just don't want to accept it.
01:02:48.000I've talked for a while about civil war.
01:02:50.000And the left loves to disparage this concept because they need to make sure it's ridiculed.
01:02:56.000If regular Americans wake up to the fact that their way of life, their jobs, and even their race, just based on their race, they're being attacked and disparaged, having their resources stripped away, well, they might actually get mad about that.
01:03:08.000So the left loves to say, it's not true, it's never going to happen.
01:03:49.000Well, it's over half because some are neutral and many oppose it.
01:03:52.000So you've got like 48% supporting, 48% opposing, and then like 3% neutral, which means more than half do not support and nearly the same amount oppose it, yet our embassies are flying a flag of an ideology opposed by half the country?
01:04:09.000You have schools putting out revisionist history.
01:04:13.000You have the fleeing from, you know, the states are hyper-polarizing.
01:04:18.000You have institutionalized ideologies that are willing to lie, cheat, and steal, and accuse a president of being a Russian spy, accuse people of being white supremacists, and their goal is to make sure regular Americans don't realize it's happening.
01:04:32.000Which brings me to the story I want to show you.
01:04:34.000Kids Network, Nickelodeon, rolls out Pride Month content.
01:04:37.000With imagination, I can be anything I want.
01:04:40.000Now, I don't care too much, like, you know, Pride content, LGBT rights and all that stuff.
01:04:46.000I've actually campaigned for many of these organizations.
01:04:48.000Don't you want to arm the trans people?
01:05:43.000I can already hear the left saying, but what about the far right who've killed people?
01:05:46.000Yes, they're lunatics and bad as well.
01:05:49.000Lock them all up and throw away the key.
01:05:51.000Now we can deal with the thousands of people across this country, black-clad Antifa, who have been going around causing billions of dollars in damage, and we can ask our State Department politely, please don't fly the flag of this cult dogma ideology that half the country does not support.
01:06:06.000By all means, you can believe in a bunch of crazy things.
01:06:08.000Some of these people like flying... Some of the people in America, they like flying Confederate flags.
01:06:13.000Some of these people like flying BLM flags.
01:06:20.000Some of these people like flying flags of a bunch of different ideologies.
01:06:24.000There's a flag for Islam or symbols for these things.
01:06:27.000And I believe people should be allowed to fly them.
01:06:29.000I don't think our embassies should be flying flags that do not represent the country.
01:06:33.000However, as we now know, because this woman on MSNBC, a New York Times editorial board member, said she was disturbed by the sight of people with American flags because by showing those flags, they were basically saying, it's my country and not yours, which is a paranoid delusion.
01:06:52.000When you have conflict in the streets for years where people are being killed, skirmishes, not a whole lot of death, but some death, physical destruction of property, attacks on governmental institutions, and yes, there was the riot at the Capitol, you have these things happening.
01:07:15.000Could you imagine if it was eight years ago, If all of these embassies around the world start flying the Black Lives Matter flag, people would be like, whoa, whoa, what's happening?
01:07:34.000You are used to the fact that black-clad leftist extremists go around throwing bricks through windows and burning buildings down for over a year consistently and sporadically for the years before that.
01:08:05.000And now you have Joe Biden, you know, engaging in these behaviors.
01:08:09.000You have our embassies around the world flying a flag that doesn't represent this country.
01:08:13.000And I'm like, now we're at a point where the American flag is being flown and just below it, Black Lives Matter.
01:08:19.000How long until they say, we're gonna take the American flag down just for one day in honor of Black Lives Matter?
01:08:26.000How long until they say, well, we're gonna put the American flag at half-mast, but we support, you know, black lives, so we'll fly Black Lives Matter.
01:08:31.000How long until they say, well, we don't want to use the words, we're gonna do the fist.
01:08:35.000How long until they say, it's the communist salute and you're going to the gulag?
01:08:41.000Perhaps it's all just chilling out, and this, right now, this, everything we're seeing with Nickelodeon promoting the Red Salute, with these children's programs saying Orange Man Bad, with violence in the streets and Andy Ngo getting beat up, maybe this is the moment where everything stops, and tomorrow everyone calms down.
01:09:16.000I think it's the Antifa members specifically, and I always just say members because they are they are allegiant to an idea, who are the actual people who are committing a lot of the destructive damage at these events.
01:09:26.000But they use the cover of Black Lives Mattering to be dismissed, right?
01:09:31.000Because their goals, their cultural Marxist goals are to relieve the oppressed.
01:09:35.000And so somehow Americans should feel like small businesses being destroyed is a justified response to trying to help black people, which is absolute stupidity.
01:09:44.000The fact that people think that black people need help and it's their job to help them is so asinine and ridiculous.
01:09:50.000I mean, I have become so emboldened with everyone talking about how black people need help and how black people need this or that.
01:09:55.000Like you know what, how about you stop looking at black people like a monolith of just like
01:11:15.000That flag is the American flag now, whether you like it or not, because intersectionality, this idea of bringing minority groups together for one common goal, is the result of the reality that multiculturalism does not work.
01:11:28.000It does not work to have a country that is divided up into subclasses of people who want a different outcome for the nation at equal or greater powers or strength.
01:11:37.000That does not work with a biospirit of a nation of people wanting an outcome.
01:11:42.000If you want an outcome for a nation to be successful or an empire, this is why empires, when they overreach or overexpand their territory, can end up falling apart.
01:11:49.000There's too much to manage, too many wants and desires from too many groups, and they lose focus.
01:11:54.000But I'm just saying this, that that flag, and the reason why it keeps expanding, I don't know if you saw today that they changed it again, To add a circle for intersex people on the left hand side.
01:12:02.000It's actually pushing the rainbow out.
01:12:07.000Is this intersectionality is great because what they see as being this white, conservative, straight roadblock to this one world order that they think is a nationalist identity, they need to remove that.
01:12:19.000But they haven't had enough power to remove that.
01:12:21.000And even the boogeyman of white supremacy is pretty much ridiculous.
01:12:24.000But what they do is now they incentivize you No, saying like you're just like you you think it's cool to be an American and patriotic wait till you're gatriotic You know and you actually get on this on this train and you join us Have you ever had a weird thought about the same sex?
01:12:39.000Oh, you're probably queer you think black lives matter You're now a BLM supporter and it's like these like basic things that humans have gone through and they start to procure you into saying your identity is with us and they create a sub Culture from America that is the amalgamation of all of the microcultures.
01:12:57.000And in fact, they have become more influential and more powerful than this white sub-dominant silent majority that everyone talks about that doesn't actually exist.
01:13:06.000And then whenever they talk about this, right, like the white replacement theory or these things, they always say these are conspiracy theorists.
01:13:12.000But then you hear the left talk about this stuff.
01:13:14.000To understand the future of the country, to understand immigration, and to understand people of color moving in.
01:13:19.000And they talk about these things, and when you bring them back up, you get called a conspiracy theorist.
01:13:40.000So today I was actually listening to a podcast, a current events podcast, I don't know if I should name it, but the person I was listening to said that the Black Lives Matter flag was taken down, like the pride flag was taken down outside of the US embassies, not because they didn't want that ideology in front of the US embassies, But because they didn't want to give people the foothold to say, I would like to fly the Gadsden flag.
01:14:50.000Strategic Command on Saturday tweeted a news release promoting nuclear launch security measures along with a photo of Captain Alexander Garland, a 341st Operation Support Squadron nuclear cryptographic operator, inserting a floppy disk into equipment at the base, according to the photo caption.
01:15:07.000He was wearing the patch on his Operation Camouflage Pattern or OCP uniform in the photo.
01:15:11.000Quote, The incident has been addressed with the member's chain of command, and regulations regarding the wear of authorized patches in accordance with Air Force standards are being reinforced throughout the wing, a spokesman from the 341st said.
01:15:23.000Adding, the patch in question is not authorized to be worn on Air Force uniforms.
01:15:28.000Proper wear on of the uniform is a vital element of good order and discipline Which guides our strikers daily with the execution of no-fail missions yada yada we get the point There's a story.
01:15:38.000I think I think it's do I have it pulled up from Snopes Navy SEALs ordered to remove don't tread on me patches Snope says false.
01:15:45.000It's it's not true Navy SEALs What it didn't happen they say this from 2013 Now they're saying, don't try to... So this is back in 2013.
01:16:32.000This movement has nothing to do with homosexual rights or with black people or whatever sort of nonsense you want to say.
01:16:38.000This is a political subdivision of the United States that has wanted power And like I mentioned earlier, has felt like the white conservative straight person has been the major roadblock.
01:16:47.000The person with values, traditional Christian values, these conservative values, constitutional values.
01:16:53.000And they know that, you know, they say this is an interesting thing with the 1619 Project that a lot of people will get pissed off about.
01:17:00.000One thing that I can agree with critical race theory on is they do say that America was made by white people for white people and I've read the documents and before 1965 it specifically states like for our posterity and I've read some of the critical race theory and I've looked at the documents they didn't forge them if you look at the history white people did write and make things for their posterity now after 1965 especially today if you think this country somehow benefits white people directly and that that somehow hasn't changed you're not living in the current country that we're living in.
01:17:28.000I need to just make sure This isn't a pride flag anymore!
01:17:30.000The DoD did ban pride flags, right? So I just want to make sure that's clear.
01:17:34.000But this isn't a pride flag anymore. This is an intersectional flag.
01:17:37.000No, no, I'm just saying, you know, we're bringing up that they're criticizing the
01:17:40.000wearing of the Gadsden flag. And so I want to make sure my point is clear,
01:17:43.000because I know the left is going to be like, Tim's claiming they're flying the pride flag,
01:17:46.000but that was banned. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is,
01:17:48.000because what Lydia was pointing out, because they don't want people doing either flag,
01:17:53.000they say you can't do these flags anymore, but the Gadsden flag is literally a symbol of this country.
01:17:58.000The pride flag, by all means, have your pride flag, it is not a symbol of the foundation of this country.
01:18:01.000I understand what it represents, and I'm more than happy to allow people to- Based on our previous conversation about the ideal of what the country is, is pride and these things that we're exporting out into the rest of the world have become just as much a part of the American identity and who we are?
01:18:15.000I mean, they're rewriting history about who was queer.
01:18:17.000I mean, I remember I was in seminary, they tried to convince me that Jesus might have been gay.
01:18:20.000You see, this is what's called a hostile takeover.
01:18:57.000They're pushing an ideology and people in America now, our children's programs, are showing the red salute uncritically to children to get them to embrace this stuff.
01:19:06.000The flags of our country, the Gadsden flag, a symbol of the revolution, don't try to me, is now considered hateful and unacceptable.
01:19:14.000Could you imagine, the Founding Fathers, for all their faults, they created a country that has improved the lives of people around the world, for better or for worse.
01:19:22.000Americans have done a lot of bad things, but it's through the Founders and their documents, and the great activists and political leaders, we've made one of the best countries, if not the best country in the history of the planet.
01:19:33.000And now, could you imagine if the Founding Fathers were like, we set forth this great nation, and we bestow upon you the responsibility to make it and improve it.
01:19:41.000The Founding Fathers didn't like slavery, but they didn't do enough to stop it because they were scared.
01:19:46.000I shouldn't say all the Founding Fathers.
01:19:47.000Many of them were worried that if they opposed it, the South would not join the revolution, and then they wouldn't be able to actually break away from the crown.
01:19:55.000I think slavery was immoral then, I think it's immoral now, and there's a lot of bad things done by a lot of bad people, a lot of conquests from a lot of nations around the world.
01:20:06.000After fighting for independence, they would learn that within only a couple hundred years, the country could not maintain its national anthem.
01:20:13.000The country could not maintain its own history lessons.
01:20:16.000The country could not maintain pride in its own flag.
01:20:20.000And not the Gadsden flag, the literal American flag.
01:20:23.000Remember when Colin Kaepernick complained that the Nike shoes with the original flag of the colonies was racist, so they pulled it?
01:20:29.000Now we're having sporting events sing two different national anthems.
01:20:34.000The NFL announced they have the black national anthem and the American anthem.
01:20:39.000How is it that we couldn't even maintain a country's values and culture for a couple hundred years?
01:20:44.000Now don't get me wrong— Dude, it's because of the— Look, let's just be honest here.
01:20:48.000It's because we were sold out to some BS in 1965.
01:20:52.000They appealed to the Christian nature of the white race of the country and said, you're obviously not racist.
01:21:15.000But that opened the door where right now what's happened is... Get more specific.
01:21:19.000What specifically are you talking about?
01:21:21.000Well, I'm talking about when the immigration laws were changed, when we had this similar bio-spirit, and there was this majority of people in every nation, whether it's religion, race, it's culture, there has to be shared value.
01:21:32.000But what happened is, is post-1965, with the change of immigration, and you look as the country changed, everyone was like, yeah, I love everyone who's not white.
01:21:41.000That's rude to just be mean to somebody because of their race.
01:21:44.000And they're going, let's bring these people in, let's assimilate.
01:21:46.000But as we've seen constantly, with the change of immigration, I would say even in, I know you're not a Christian yourself, but with pushing God and demonizing Christian morals and morality, a few other factors as well, including, I would even say, the hostile takeover of our government in some ways, and our intelligence agencies, came in and we were sold this future for America, which was a total scam, and I believe had communist influence, because instead of pushing people to assimilate and to have this great American spirit, all we've seen is people are being pushed to identify more with where they came from, what, even, it doesn't even matter on race, it's also on sexuality.
01:22:30.000I think they like illegal immigration.
01:22:31.000I think they want to sow open borders policy.
01:22:34.000Because what I learned with Sweden, When they let in a lot of the Somali migrants in the 90s, the problem was they didn't try to assimilate.
01:22:42.000They didn't give these people an opportunity for work.
01:22:45.000They were actually extremely racist in Sweden.
01:22:47.000So what happens is they bring all these refugees in and then feign how much they love all people.
01:22:55.000And then they put all the people in these urban centers with no support.
01:22:58.000Well, people from Somalia speak Somali, or, you know, I'm not entirely sure of the language, but they don't speak Swedish.
01:23:04.000They don't, they don't, they aren't able to get jobs, they can't make money, they struggle, and they're forced to live off of subsidy from the government.
01:23:10.000This creates a pocket of people who don't feel like they're a part of Sweden.
01:23:54.000What we're seeing from the left is a conflation of the legal immigration, which is good, with the illegal immigration, which is bad, when a bunch of people come here risking their lives, getting hurt, and then going to random places where they don't integrate.
01:24:07.000But not all legal immigration is good, and I think that that's why legal immigration is a key and a door to give the communists more room to divide and conquer, because that's my point, is what we're sold is, is somebody's coming from another country, they share your values, they share the American spirit, meanwhile, When they're brought here, they do feel ostracized, and I will turn this before someone tries to make me appear to be racist.
01:24:27.000Their studies have been done on white American expats who left the country and have lived in places like Japan.
01:24:32.000They are not happy with where they live, they feel isolated, they tend to hang out in the same regions, they tend to recreate America where they live, they tend to be depressed at a higher rate than the average American, and they tend to be unhappy because Japan is a homogenous place, and there's a culture, and they tend to not fit in.
01:24:48.000And the number one reason why I'm saying why expats don't fit in is because in America
01:24:51.000it's seen as being really great to share your political views.
01:24:54.000You actually are like seen as sort of being brave.
01:25:21.000I don't, I'm not offended by the way they run their country.
01:25:24.000My point is, is that from reading, from understanding communists, it's not that my wife's an immigrant
01:25:29.000from, from a legal immigrant from Australia.
01:25:31.000I'm not against people coming to other countries.
01:25:33.000I'm saying that what is important to admit is that the change in immigration systems in the United States was used by communists and other people to divide and conquer, and it is to this day.
01:25:44.000If you have someone come to the board of the United States who doesn't speak English, and you say, we are going to find a beautiful place for you where you will succeed, This one individual enters a community of 5,000 people.
01:25:58.000They become part of the community, they improve their communication skills, they find work, and the community maintains its values, and this person adopts many of those values, and they all succeed, and they all share in the wondrous fruits of their labors.
01:26:11.000If you have a community of 2,000 people, and you bring in 5,000 people of a completely different ideology, what happens?
01:26:32.000Because it means we can plan effectively to make sure they succeed.
01:26:35.000Bringing people from an area that's suffering because they have problems and putting them in an area where they have no support structure and no ability to bask in the American dream just means you get ghettos.
01:26:44.000You get people who are suffering in a new place where they're just suffering with no opportunity.
01:29:15.000David Graeber, the late David Graeber, rest in peace, was the one who came out on Twitter and said, there is an element of the left that has adopted the fascistic philosophy of, there is no truth but power.
01:29:24.000What do you think it means when they come out and say there's no objective reality or that 2 plus 2 equals 5?
01:34:34.000When you send that email, put IT SPECIALIST in all caps on the subject.
01:34:38.000Yeah, do it to it, and you'll have a flight first thing in the morning, because we'll go through those emails ASAP, and then you'll be here by, like, 1 or noon.
01:34:44.000Or if you live on the East Coast, you can drive out, and we'll have someone come out.
01:34:48.000But we'll read Super Chats, and then again, for those that just want to watch the podcast, because there's going to be a lot broken in this one, because they're just dropping off, we'll upload the full version to YouTube clean.
01:35:00.000But go to TimCast.com, become a member.
01:35:01.000We'll have a bonus segment coming up at TimCast.com for members only.
01:35:12.000That's right, which is why we're setting up TimCast.com, because like any other anti-establishment personality, you know, we're not long for the world of YouTube, and if you put all your eggs in that basket, you are gonna be in serious trouble.
01:36:04.000Um, I don't know if he's a millionaire or anything like that.
01:36:07.000It's just this example of a cavalry commander, you made this point earlier, leading the charge of the cavalry.
01:36:11.000They do it for years, they get so good at it, then eventually they become the general that goes behind the lines and decides where the cavalry is going to charge while the infantry is moving up, and they become a tactical mind.
01:36:22.000And that's where Andy is right now, I think.
01:36:24.000Carter Strasser says, Tim, do you support negotiation with terrorists?
01:36:32.000I don't think I've ever advocated for Andy walking up to Antifa and trying to draw terms on what is acceptable.
01:36:37.000I just think it doesn't make sense when one of the most prominent personalities in the culture war goes by themselves into the fray of enemy combat infantry, who are not prominent and aren't doing anything particularly newsworthy, and then risks a very serious and important piece of the culture war.
01:36:53.000Hey, look, it's frustrating to me to see that many on the right, they're not as good as the left.
01:36:58.000The left knows how to organize, they know how to infiltrate, destroy, and rebuild, and they are doing it methodically, and they've been doing it for a long time.
01:37:05.000The New York Times, they go in, they take over, they do these same things.
01:37:08.000In fact, we had a couple people here talking about their organization, how the woke came in and tried taking it over, and how they resisted it.
01:37:14.000The last thing we need is these very serious tactical failures.
01:37:19.000Do you think that people on the left are high IQ, low EQ, and the people on the right are low IQ, high EQ, in general?
01:37:26.000No, I think people on the left are conformist collectivists, and people on the right tend to be individualists, and that's one of the big separators, which means On the right, someone's gonna say, I say we all go and protest.
01:37:37.000And there's gonna be a bunch of disagreement from people.
01:42:29.000What I said, first, of course the responsibility and the problem comes from the criminal who should be condemned for committing the crime.
01:42:34.000I'd love to live in a utopia, but so long as criminals exist, and we know they exist, at what point do we tell someone, look, I know it shouldn't be this way, but you should probably have pepper spray, a taser, or a gun, whatever's legal in your jurisdiction.
01:42:48.000The problem with idealism is the movie industry really has put it in people's brains and the video game industry that like, Oh, if you just believe that it can be this way, it will one day when you persevere.
01:42:59.000Then you see reality and people just get mowed down and smashed.
01:43:36.000And when someone comes, because I decided instead of going the normal route to walk through the dark alley to the bank, and someone runs up and snatches it from me, it wasn't my fault.
01:44:34.000Look, when someone goes mountain climbing, or like hiking, and they get mauled by a panther or a mountain lion, I don't say it's their fault for going hiking.
01:44:43.000I just say, like, man, it's unfortunate because these things happen.
01:44:46.000But you recognize that these people take those risks, right?
01:45:53.000Now we've come into the opposite swing where women are always right.
01:45:56.000Until proven wrong and so then that's where you get the backlash and anytime you start making somebody seem like they can never be the victim or and they're always the perpetrators when you have to kind of if you're gonna fight for rights have to come to their defense and right now I feel like specifically even with the with the rape thing and with women wearing skirts like that's just not even the conversation anymore because women are encouraged to dress like hoes.
01:46:19.000I know we need to get moving I do think it's strange that an entire movement that believes that everyone is bad and terrible and horrible in every single way also Simultaneously believes that you should just be able to dress however you want and do whatever you want and face absolutely no consequences to me That's such a dichotomy of ideas doesn't make sense.
01:46:36.000All right, let's read some more power-up peek-a-whoo says America isn't perfect.
01:47:40.000It's like, okay, so that probably negatively impacted our fiber line as well.
01:47:44.000But good luck getting Verizon to respond because it took like six months for them to come out in the first place when they assured us for like a month.
01:47:51.000We might have a better chance of getting struck by lightning again than having Verizon come out.
01:48:23.000A lot of people saying, please, Brian says, please, love of God, let me fix your network, IT systems engineer.
01:48:28.000I have literally designed and managed data centers.
01:48:30.000Okay, Brian, send an email to jobs at timcast.com, and we will have you on a plane first thing in the morning to come out and fix the internet, because it is a priority for us, and there's nothing we can do.
01:48:41.000But maybe you can figure out what the issue is.
01:48:43.000For all I know, there's something internally that got fried by the light, like a surge hit it, and we don't know what the piece is.
01:48:48.000Our IT guy is dealing with some, you know, very serious stuff.
01:48:51.000So, uh, you know, we need someone who can come in and help fix this stuff.
01:48:58.000Sunny James says, What Ian said made me think.
01:49:00.000Andy Ngo got famous from a milkshake hitting him in the head at a protest.
01:49:04.000Today, a journalist getting hurt or even killed covering a protest riot not part of the MSM probably wouldn't make the rounds in a 24-hour news cycle.
01:49:11.000That's why I say we're frogs boiling, man.
01:49:14.000The Nickelodeon thing made me realize that.
01:49:53.000I'm just saying, I mean, the homosexual communism, I can say communism is gay, and I never thought I would have to say that, because communists used to kill the gays, but then now they're using the gays.
01:50:05.000And also, it only influences your kids.
01:50:07.000It used to make me angry, but the reason why it doesn't make me angry anymore is because it only makes you angry if your kids watch that stuff.
01:50:12.000And so it's like, it doesn't influence me because I'm clown-pilled and past the black pill where I'm laughing at them because we know what's coming.
01:50:21.000We're preparing for these types of things, the potentials of what these people might do to us on a defensive measure, some people offensively.
01:50:29.000But most importantly speaking, it's like people go like, well, it's Nickelodeon.
01:50:32.000It's like, dude, just stop watching TV.
01:52:22.000I don't think we would do it on this show, but it's something we would absolutely produce
01:52:26.000at four members of Timcast.com as a show.
01:52:28.000It would be great to have someone going around and talking to local shops, asking about the economy, about products, just focusing on the news.
01:52:34.000What do you think about what's going on with D.C., with the National Guard, with January 6th, etc.?
01:52:40.000So McFly and Jesse Ryan, send us an email to pitches at TimCast.com.
01:52:45.000James says our Founding Fathers signed their death certificate with the Declaration of Independence.
01:52:49.000If your safaris of being filmed in your actions... I don't know what that means.
01:54:07.000John says, The biggest thing I have ever disagreed with Tim is the idea about him stopping playing World of Warcraft because people can just be hunters in real life.
01:54:15.000People play video games to be things they can't be IRL.
01:54:56.000I'm glad God gave us an expiration date because, I mean, I don't want to die before my time, whatever that means, but let's just be honest.
01:55:03.000Like the idea of living to like 80 is pretty good.
01:55:16.000All right, Gold818 says, Tim, fellow Long Islander over here, and the thing that Mara Gay was really complaining about was the Take Back Our Schools rally on Long Island.
01:55:24.000The event was led by Sean Farage of Loud Majority.
01:55:27.000He would be a great guest for your show, and Lydia, keep pushing those buttons.
01:56:28.000Well, you know, there's a lot of, there's a, there's a lot of things that it's interesting because conservatives were like, I remember, you know, 10 years ago, if we do this, what's next?
01:56:35.000And the left was like, that's a fallacy.
01:57:33.000I don't have any job offers to say like posted jobs, but if you know some good epic sci-fi stuff, email me Elijah at slightlyoffensive.com because I need more.
01:58:59.000I'm not entirely worried, but definitely.
01:59:02.000I know a bit about my infosec, so I'm like, we're not gonna let anybody come here.
01:59:07.000Obviously, I assume we're gonna get a big list of people saying they want to come, and they're gonna have to go and vet some of these people before they do.
01:59:12.000I keep hearing Fauci's voice now when you talk.
02:00:34.000We're gonna wrap this up quickly so that we can upload the recorded version immediately.
