Trump threatens to deploy the National Guard in response to the continued rioting by Antifa in Portland, Oregon, and the media cover it as a victory for the far-left, but it's actually a win for the feds.
00:02:05.000Because they announced the other day that Oregon State Police would be coming out.
00:02:11.000All of these people, the thousands that would come out waving their phones and singing, they were telling us Trump's secret police gassing peaceful protesters.
00:03:13.000Those moms, actually still a bunch of moms came out apparently, but the video footage that's come out shows a much, much smaller crowd rioting, getting cleared out easily by state police.
00:03:22.000I think it might be local, I'm not sure, but it's not the feds.
00:03:25.000And Andy Ngo notes they didn't have the big numbers anymore for whatever, you know, he doesn't say why.
00:03:30.000And that made it very easy for them to be dispersed.
00:03:34.000So Trump says today he'll send the National Guard if they don't get things under control, because Antifa and the far leftists are still coming out, as of yesterday.
00:03:43.000If the numbers come back and people really do decide, you know, maybe we should protest the Democrat secret police too, then maybe Trump will actually send in the National Guard.
00:03:52.000But I gotta say, man, he called it a beehive of terrorism.
00:05:37.000The powers granted to the president under National Security Presidential Directive 51 have not yet been tested, but they've been longstanding.
00:05:49.000But people have known about Directive 51 for a long time, and it's really funny because some of these progressives, these leftists, wrote 13 years ago.
00:05:58.000Some of the same people today who are screaming, Orange Man bad, were writing George W. Bush bad.
00:06:03.000And there's this long article from Slate where they basically say that the language that we can see from Presidential Directive 51, because most of it is still confidential, we don't know, is very vague and basically grants these weird powers to the president to coordinate the other branches of government.
00:06:23.000Meaning Trump could theoretically be like, so here's the prerequisites for Directive 51.
00:06:28.000Catastrophic loss of life anywhere in the world.
00:07:01.000He could say the economy's being destroyed, and now our election is being threatened by this first-time mass nationwide mail-in voting plan.
00:07:08.000It wouldn't be only mail-in voting, but if Trump really thinks it would subvert essential functions of government, then he can use COVID and, I mean, the riots and the economy as a...
00:07:23.000And I think if he did, which I really, really, really don't think he would, I think all he would do is actually ensure the election went as normal without mail-in voting.
00:07:31.000So it would give him these weird coordination powers over the other governments, you know, the other branches of government.
00:07:36.000It would be really interesting, but we'll talk about this because there's some other funny stuff there.
00:07:39.000But then we got really, really, really big news.
00:08:40.000Patreon tried changing the terms of service at the last minute because they knew that they were going to be on the hook for this cash.
00:08:47.000So now, you know, I'm not a lawyer, so I don't want to pretend, but I guess the scuttlebutt is, they may be in trouble for doing that.
00:08:55.000So now we might see all of these people who were banned by Patreon launching arbitration claims against them, even if they don't have merit.
00:09:02.000It's going to force Patreon to front tens of millions of dollars.
00:09:19.000And the other important factor is when Sargon got banned, I lost patrons because they canceled their accounts immediately, which negatively impacted me and everybody else.
00:09:30.000I basically have, you know, I still have a Patreon.
00:10:09.000Trump threatens to deploy National Guard to quell Portland protests from the Military Times.
00:10:15.000They say, President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened to deploy the National Guard to Portland, Oregon if protests there don't stop in the next few days, saying the violence has lasted for too long.
00:10:24.000So let's, let me just, I gotta do this correction, you know?
00:10:26.000Don't put protest if you're complaining about violence.
00:10:37.000These protesters, many should be arrested because these are professional agitators.
00:10:41.000These are professional anarchists, Trump said during a White House press conference.
00:10:45.000These are people that hate our country.
00:10:47.000We are telling them right now that we are coming in very soon.
00:10:50.000The National Guard, a lot of very tough people.
00:10:53.000These are not people that just have to guard the courthouse and save it.
00:10:56.000These are people who are allowed to go forward and do what they have to do.
00:11:00.000At the peak, more than 40,000 guardsmen were activated across the country to help deal with the protests sparked by the death of George Floyd.
00:11:07.000The use of guard troops to help with violence on American soil is not unusual, but is typically done under the direction or with permission from state and local officials.
00:11:15.000In the case of Portland, where protests have taken place every night since May, the governor and mayor have objected to the intervention of federal law enforcement to address the issue.
00:11:24.000They don't know what they are doing, Trump said of local leaders.
00:11:35.000So it may die down now, but I'm not entirely convinced.
00:11:40.000The Oregon Military Department told Military Times that the Oregon National Guard has not been requested or notified of any request to respond to the situation in Portland at this time.
00:11:49.000And that's from Major Leslie Reed, the department's Deputy Director of Public Affairs.
00:11:56.000But maybe he just hasn't drafted anything or told anybody yet.
00:12:00.000The National Guard Bureau deferred questions to the White House and Pentagon.
00:12:03.000Pentagon officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
00:12:06.000On Thursday, Trump praised the controversial presence of Homeland Security personnel in Portland, saying that the place was a mess and their deployment prevented hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to the federal courthouse.
00:12:19.000Trump said those officers, quote, are working today and probably tomorrow to clean out this beehive of terrorists in Portland.
00:12:26.000If they do it, I will be very happy, he said.
00:12:29.000Then slowly we can start to leave the city.
00:12:31.000If they don't do it, we will be sending in the National Guard.
00:12:35.000The president's announcement comes just two days after a congressional hearing, where a District of Columbia Army National Guard major who was working on protest control during June 1st demonstrations outside the White House testified that federal agents were overly aggressive in clearing out peaceful protesters.
00:12:49.000Major Adam DiMarco said the guardsmen on duty that day were left confused and disheartened by the actions.
00:12:55.000with some members questioning whether they had violated the constitutional rights of free speech
00:12:59.000and assembly. Trump has voiced no such concerns, saying the protests were inspired by non-violent
00:13:04.000ideals but have since become little more than an excuse for destruction and mayhem." Boom.
00:14:40.000The big question, like I mentioned earlier, will be if these protesters come out tonight, having seen the tear gas and the attack on these Antifa people.
00:14:56.000Now that the people of Portland would have to protest their own Democratic governor, it seems they didn't show up to reinforce Antifa and far leftists.
00:15:04.000When it was Trump's police, thousands were outraged.
00:15:07.000Now that it's a Democrat, they don't care.
00:15:09.000What happened to all that talk about the Gestapo and Trump's secret police?
00:15:13.000Yep, they're not talking about that in New York.
00:15:19.000Kate Brown, secret police, being deployed to the streets to attack peaceful protesters.
00:15:24.000Adam, why are these Democrats, in your expert opinion, why are the Democrats sending out unidentified secret police to brutalize these peaceful demonstrators?
00:15:31.000Well, Tim, in my expert opinion, I have no idea.
00:15:35.000Is it because Kate Brown is a fascist?
00:15:57.000I heard some people talking about... So apparently some guy came out complaining about Trump and Barr clearing out the protests in front of the White House.
00:16:33.000And we're talking about the National Guardsman criticizing Trump for clearing... Yeah, I was talking about Adam DiMarco.
00:16:38.000Yeah, so, okay, so, noting his unsuccessful run for Congress, Representative Louie Gohmert from Texas told DiMarco his testimony, quote, will serve you well with the Democratic Party, close quote, but he questioned his loyalty to the military for opposing his commander-in-chief's contention.
00:16:52.000So, wait, wait, what you're saying is this DiMarco guy ran for public office as a Democrat?
00:17:28.000You can't have months of violent riots and protests.
00:17:30.000And more importantly, If you ask a Trump supporter why they cleared out the area, you know, Lafayette Square, they had announced they were clearing out a certain time already.
00:18:42.000So Attorney General Bill Barr is testifying, and you have this one, I don't know which guy, the guy's name who asked him, but he's like, are you aware that the bishop and the priest or whatever condemned your clearing of the protests?
00:18:54.000And he goes, was that before or after we put the fire out?
00:19:48.000It's like, it said something like, if save the whales doesn't mean F the fish, then why do people get so triggered by Black Lives Matter?
00:19:57.000And I see this meme being shared by a bunch of progressives, and it says to me they don't know anything at all about Black Lives Matter.
00:20:03.000And so I politely respond and I just say, I think a lot of people are upset because their movement on their website calls for disrupting the nuclear family.
00:20:12.000Like that's, you know, liberal and conservative alike are going to be kind of offended by that.
00:21:53.000It's playing a big, big, it's making, you know, has a big role in this.
00:21:56.000But I think when you look at Twitter, when you look at YouTube, for instance, and Facebook, you'll notice that conservatives do ridiculously well on all of these platforms, which says something.
00:22:09.000The left is comprised of people who are being fed the news and just mindlessly milling about.
00:22:18.000The right is people who are going on social media, sharing and engaging with the news.
00:22:23.000So if you're on YouTube, And you go to a video of some, like, left-wing issue, you're gonna see it's thumbs-down to oblivion.
00:22:45.000But typically, you can predict what's gonna happen.
00:22:48.000Gillette does a commercial where they're like, Toxic masculinity must go.
00:22:52.000And then it's just thumbs-down into oblivion.
00:22:55.000Maybe it's because conservatives are more likely to share news, and liberals are more likely to just watch TV or share memes.
00:23:04.000That could be it, I'm not entirely sure, but based on my conversations Man, it is... You know, when I'm talking to people who are conservative, they tend to have... understand references I'm making when I'm like... So, I'll be like this.
00:23:19.000So, you heard about what's going on in California with repealing civil rights.
00:23:22.000Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was on... Tucker was talking about that.
00:23:25.000I'll be like, yeah, that's serious, right?
00:23:47.000Every news story is like, affirmative action, affirmative action, and not really telling you what they're doing.
00:23:52.000It's really annoying trying to break through the noise.
00:23:55.000But to people who are plugged in and constantly searching and reading the news, they understand the deeper context.
00:24:00.000Try explaining Obamagate to your average lefty, and they're gonna be like, oh, this is crazy, what are you talking about, that sounds nuts.
00:24:08.000Talk to a conservative and they're gonna be like, oh yeah, yeah, because I heard about that.
00:24:13.000A lot more conservatives are a lot higher on the level of just hearing about it now.
00:24:21.000What I mean is like, if you've got the average right-leaning independent, they've probably heard something about Obamagate and something about spying and unmasking.
00:25:25.000You know, it was, here's a really funny one.
00:25:27.000I keep seeing this tweet be shared on Facebook between all these progressives where they're like, answer me this, you know, Trump supporters, where are all the 2A libertarians saying, you know, that they were going to stand up to government tyranny with, with rifles.
00:25:41.000Now that tyranny is happening in Portland.
00:25:43.000And then I just sent him a picture of the Boogaloo boys showing up, showing up in Portland.
00:25:46.000And I'm like, what are you talking about?
00:26:03.000Part of the problem is these people on the left, they have this image in their head of like this bad guy, the ultimate bad guy.
00:26:11.000And it's like the Biggest Nazi, hates everything that they're about, and they just apply that as a blank slate over everybody that isn't in their group.
00:26:24.000So if you vote for Trump, clearly you're this one person that I have in my head, this image of this bad guy that I have.
00:26:31.000So that's all their memes, like, well riddle me this bad guy that I have in my head, where in reality most people aren't that person.
00:27:16.000If you're on the right, you're looking at everyone to your left.
00:27:18.000If you're on the left, you're looking at everyone to your left.
00:27:21.000So they don't see what conservatives are talking about, they don't see the news, and they have no idea!
00:27:25.000It's crazy when I'll tweet something out that'll somehow find its way into a left journalism bubble, and they're like, what are you talking about?
00:27:32.000This is the craziest thing I've ever heard.
00:29:24.000So when you got Bernie Sanders and Trump very early on talking about the TPP, NAFTA, and immigration, you had left and right-wing populists being like, here we go.
00:29:34.000Bernie Sanders, however, said, let me tow the establishment line.
00:30:21.000One of the big narrative bits that's been coming out around these protests is that white supremacists Well, we have this tweet from Jared Holt and I must say, if Jared Holt is saying right now there's been no evidence to suggest this is true, it doesn't mean it's not true.
00:31:17.000If this guy's job is to write about this stuff, and I think he's biased, but even he's saying they've presented no evidence, then I think that's where we're at so far.
00:31:26.000There's no point in going around with the narrative claiming it's true.
00:31:30.000Now, Jared, I believe he does go on to say, though, it could be true if they're drafting up indictments.
00:31:36.000They're not going to release evidence.
00:31:37.000He says this story quotes a spokesperson for Mayor LeVar Stoney, who said police were still investigating and more arrests were suspected.
00:31:45.000You know what the problem with this though?
00:32:19.000I said something like, if Jared is the one saying that they've got no evidence as of right now, then I take his word for it because it's literally his beat.
00:32:27.000If he saw even, if he saw like a tiny, tiny morsel of white supremacy, he'd be like, there it is.
00:32:42.000The colloquial understanding of what they're saying is they're trying to insinuate specific groups of people are dressing up like Antifa to go out and make Antifa look bad.
00:33:02.000If they're actually going to issue arrests, if they're going to make these claims, they should present evidence before coming out and just saying this nonsense, because it basically makes everybody mad.
00:33:10.000I mean, we're asking the media to present evidence for things that they're claiming?
00:33:30.000But that's why I think it's kind of funny to see Jared Holt, whose whole thing is like reporting on the right, to be like, where's the evidence?
00:33:39.000And the local media being like, the police said it!
00:34:39.000They do this all the time with tons of stories.
00:34:41.000They'll just be like, you know, you know what's really funny?
00:34:45.000When they have anonymous sources, is the best part.
00:34:48.000So it'll be like, anonymous source claims Donald Trump is secretly, you know, putting poison in dog bowls throughout the city of, you know, throughout D.C.
00:34:55.000Or someone close to Donald Trump says that this is happening.
00:35:08.000People will read the story and go, whoa.
00:35:11.000And then, you have to imagine how the story was actually sourced.
00:35:14.000There's a DC beat reporter with a notepad standing in an alley, and there's a guy covered in garbage just going, and Donald Trump, you know, did a backflip off the White House, and then I saw him, he threw a brick!
00:35:40.000And what part of that did you leave out?
00:35:41.000Like, before he's like, he says Donald Trump is a lizard person who threw a brick at his advisor and then jumped off the building and flew away in outer space, and he cuts off the beginning of the end and just says Donald Trump threw a brick.
00:35:51.000Or it was a foam brick, and the advisor was actually playing catch with him.
00:37:16.000But the point is, they're being accused of being white supremacists because the only thing these left-wing organizations can do is accuse you of being White supremacist, racist, anti-black, whatever.
00:38:47.000I'll tell you what, Jared Holt says, so far they haven't released in, I believe it was Richmond, evidence that white supremacists were actually organizing.
00:40:07.000I'd be willing to bet, for the most part, if you were on the right, and I've seen this happen, if you're wearing a Trump hat, and you get hit in the head with a brick, one of these medics will come to your aid, and they will help you.
00:40:45.000You're another random person in the crowd, you need to be aware of your surroundings, and you need to know what the police are going to do, when they're going to do it, and stay out of their way.
00:40:53.000Yes, you have a right to film and record, but you can't expect a human being to act like a robot, with programming being like, beep boop boop, it says press, therefore, sorry sir, you're free to do whatever you want.
00:41:05.000Especially when Antifa literally walks around, there's a photo of a guy, wearing press on his helmet, waving the Antifa flag.
00:41:11.000He's not a journalist, he has no camera, they do it on purpose.
00:41:15.000They also put walls of moms in front of them so that when the cops move in, they say, oh, they're attacking the moms.
00:41:31.000I am forming an organization called the Weak and Vulnerable Elderly Grandmothers.
00:41:39.000The Weak and Vulnerable Elderly Grandmothers will be the name of our group.
00:41:44.000It's going to be comprised of a bunch of 25-year-old, very big, burly, right-wing Trump-supporting men.
00:41:49.000And then when they put on an event celebrating Trump and Antifa shows up, the media will be forced to report, Antifa threatens and attacks weak and vulnerable elderly grandmothers.
00:42:01.000I love it how they're like, we're anti-fascist, therefore like, you're dumb if you think that we're actually fascists.
00:42:07.000And it's like, well apparently you're authoritarians and now you're being accused of being white supremacists, so what am I supposed to call you?
00:43:14.000In 2012, the New York Times wrote, as absentee ballots expand, you know, it's like, I forgot, I'll paraphrase the headline, but it talks about the increase of fraud and error.
00:43:24.000And in the article from eight years ago, it says, there's a higher margin of failure the more mail-in voting you do.
00:43:53.000You know, Jerry Nadler back in 2004 had this long speech about how mail-in voting and paper votes is super easy to fraudulent and be fraudulent.
00:44:48.000With universal mail-in voting, in parentheses, not absentee voting, which is good, end parentheses, 2020 will be the most inaccurate and fraudulent election in history.
00:44:58.000It will be a great embarrassment to the U.S.
00:45:01.000And then the question is, delay the election until people can properly, securely, and safely vote?
00:45:58.000This is interesting because I didn't see media like CNN or other outlets complaining about Directive 51 when it was signed by George W. Bush.
00:46:07.000I'm going to pull up this here Wikipedia from National Security and Homeland Presidential Directive 51.
00:46:21.000While similar executive security directives have been issued by previous presidents with their texts kept secret, this is the first to be made public in part.
00:46:29.000It's unclear how the National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive will reconcile with the National Emergencies Act, a U.S.
00:46:35.000federal law passed in 1967, which gives Congress oversight over presidential emergency powers during such emergencies.
00:46:42.000The National Emergencies Act is not mentioned in the text of Directive 51.
00:46:47.000Directive 51, to put it very, very simply, God emperor, Tim.
00:46:52.000The... I'll just, I'll exaggerate. Emperor, I guess.
00:47:03.000The giant Trump with, like, the armor and the sword or whatever.
00:47:06.000Well, after we talked about Mecha-Trump the other day, I was like, show me your art of Mecha-Trumps, and everyone's... I saw countless videos of that.
00:47:14.000There's some Japanese animes that he's into.
00:47:21.000Directive 51 has broad language that basically says the president will oversee the coordination of all branches of government.
00:47:31.000And it does say that it must be a constitutional government.
00:47:34.000The goal, the literal goal of Directive 51 was that if, like, we got nuked, you know, 50 billion times or whatever, and the country was in shambles, then Directive 51 would try and restart the government and protect it.
00:48:05.000When this was signed, the collective left went insane.
00:48:09.000Like all these articles were written saying, there's one specifically from Slate where they're like, this would give Trump the power to, I don't know, postpone an election.
00:48:17.000Because it puts him in charge of coordinating all branches.
00:48:21.000Couldn't he kick out all the incumbents also?
00:48:23.000I don't, I don't, I don't, I mean, arguably, depending on who you ask, yes.
00:48:29.000It like, the powers under Directive 51 are like insane.
00:48:32.000Or arrest all the people that have, I'm not gonna get into that.
00:48:36.000Here's the issue. So could Trump postpone the election?
00:48:41.000Technically, under a national security directive. Now let me read for you the prerequisites.
00:48:46.000They say, uh, Directive 51 signed by George W. Bush is a presidential
00:48:52.000directive establishing a comprehensive policy on the federal government's structures and
00:48:56.000operations in the event of a catastrophic emergency.
00:48:59.000Such an emergency is defined as any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S.
00:49:08.000population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or governmental functions.
00:49:34.000Thus he could invoke, look, Not only that though, you gotta add into the whole, you know, India, now Australians are backing India, China and Pakistan are joining forces.
00:49:45.000It's like, what's going on over there?
00:49:47.000Yep, so you've got reports of surveillance drones seeing like China and Pakistan are forming ranks surrounding India for a pincer attack on both fronts, which would strain India, be very difficult for them to defend against.
00:50:01.000Australia, I guess, announced, what did they announce?
00:52:48.000It's really as bad as they say it is that it's causing all these, you know, like, it's the end of the world, basically, that we've all got to bunker down.
00:52:55.000And it's what, we're on like day 134 or whatever of the 15 days to slow the spread.
00:54:30.000A lot of people have asked me when I tweeted about this, like, technically Trump could do anything he wants if he invokes these emergency powers.
00:54:40.000I don't think he will because I think the true intent of 51 is like, When you wake up and, you know, the White House has been wiped off the map by some kind of crazy, you know, rod... What do they call them?
00:54:54.000is gone and you're like, what's the government?
00:54:56.000And then, whoever is, like, 87th in line of succession for the presidency invokes Directive 51 to, like, balance out the government because everything's been purged.
00:55:28.000Yeah, they spread it on the bills and just released it on Black Friday.
00:55:33.000I think the real idea of what Directive 51 is, it's like 90% of the population is gone, the city is in ruins, and some dude in a backpack is like, I'm, you know, 37 millionth in line of succession for the presidency.
00:56:31.000And it's like, vote for Trump or vote for us or you're cut out.
00:56:35.000And it's like, if we actually do have to go to war with China, if this does escalate to
00:56:40.000a world war, we can't be bickering amongst ourselves.
00:56:44.000We need to unify and actually, and he would have to do that.
00:56:48.000And that's what I think would be the more realistic way of it happening.
00:56:53.000I agree I got to do this because we got to stop this because look at look at what they're doing there's a Mike there's war going on my question is if You, if Trump was like, everybody, we have to come together, you know, China, it's bad.
00:57:07.000And then you were brought into a room and there was like an Antifa guy and they sat you down and they said, okay, Adam, okay, Mr. Antifa, we need to unify because of this shared threat.
00:57:17.000How about you both agree to only stripping rights from some minorities?
00:58:13.000Maybe not me, but when I look at the flag, I know what was put into that flag to show where we are now.
00:58:22.000So with what's going on, one of the things I've often talked about is how they've been expanding The language of civil rights in a lot of states and cities, particularly around gender identity.
00:58:34.000And one of the things I've often said is that, some people call it circle theory or horseshoe, the closer you get to one side it goes the other way.
00:58:42.000Well, the more they try to expand civil rights, the more they actually take rights away.
00:58:47.000Because there needs to be a limit to guarantee certain protections of certain groups.
00:58:53.000So, the easiest way to explain it is, if they're going to say that you can play in any league you want, any sport league, based on how you identify, then the initial protections females had, you know, specifically, are removed because now anyone can play against anyone again.
00:59:10.000So we start with, like, track, and men dominate it.
00:59:13.000So they say, okay, we'll make a specific group just for women.
00:59:16.000Then they say the definition of women has changed, and now biological males are women, therefore, well, then that protection is no longer existent.
00:59:23.000Because now all you've done is had, you know, A-tier, B-tier, C-tier track teams.
00:59:28.000Well, if I was a woman, and in sports, I would be pissed about that.
00:59:32.000And a lot, and they're suing, and a lot are, and they're challenging Tam O'Hara stuff.
00:59:37.000But I bring this up specifically to say, under the guise of expanding civil rights, they've actually begun to remove civil rights.
00:59:45.000And then they argue that, you know, but white females are privileged or whatever, and that they start changing the science and arguing about it.
00:59:51.000And now we've literally come to the point where they're actually rescinding, they voted to strip away California's civil rights legislation from their constitution.
01:00:01.000Now, I don't want to keep rehashing that conversation.
01:00:03.000The point is, as we get closer and closer to some kind of conflict, Trump delaying the election, whatever happens, is there a point at which you, all of you watching, would happily sit down with one of these progressives when they say, okay, let's compromise.
01:00:17.000I vote that we take away those rights.
01:00:18.000You're going to be like, whoa, no, absolutely not.
01:00:21.000Well, you gotta compromise on something, right?
01:00:23.000We gotta meet halfway if we're gonna come together to go up against a greater enemy.
01:00:26.000Well, I don't think that's part of the problem.
01:00:28.000I think we should absolutely keep bringing it up, keep talking about it, until it gets overturned for when we vote.
01:00:35.000Because people don't, you even said it yourself, you talk to these people on the left that, you know, oh, you know about affirmative action?
01:00:42.000Do you know how they're trying to repeal it?
01:01:26.000What I'm specifically referencing is how the question is framed, specifically, so that you end up supporting something you otherwise, in any other terms, oppose.
01:01:54.000Yeah, it's a chunk, but it should stay.
01:01:58.000I'm willing to bet you put most people on the other side that are on the left in that room and you explain it all to them, most of them will be like, what?
01:02:09.000And the problem is when I talk to my friends who are like hardcore progressive leftists and say something like, would you be in favor of this?
01:02:41.000And I mean true liberalism, like John Locke, the foundation of this country, the consent of the governed, freedom of speech, expression, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
01:02:50.000Intersectionalism is incompatible with American values.
01:02:57.000So one of the reasons why we have civil rights law is because the words of the Declaration of Independence, the words of the Constitution, forced it to occur.
01:03:07.000You know, people argued, hey, if you think all men are created equal, then you have to get rid of slavery.
01:03:13.000And people were like, yeah, he's right, absolutely.
01:03:17.000And then you had really amazing people, Booker T. Washington, Frederick Douglass, who were like, about those freedoms you claim to support.
01:03:23.000And then a bunch of people were like, that's a good argument, you're correct, we were wrong.
01:03:28.000And then the bloodiest war ever was fought to end it.
01:03:32.000So now we've ended up to the point where you even have the Supreme Court arguing you can't discriminate based on gender identity.
01:03:37.000Well, no, you can't skip past Martin Luther King in the 60s and what they went through, the Civil Rights Act, because that is another step.
01:03:44.000They're trying to take away that legacy.
01:03:49.000And people don't realize that, and that's the key.
01:03:52.000We can't just skip over that, because that's huge.
01:03:55.000Because they weren't created equal at that point.
01:04:14.000Well, now they want to change all that.
01:04:17.000They want to strip away those rights that were granted.
01:04:19.000And again, I'm not trying to keep rehashing that argument.
01:04:21.000I'm talking specifically about the context of war, conflict, civil conflict, international conflict.
01:04:27.000How would you sit in a room with someone who says straight up, I do not believe in this country, I believe this country should be destroyed, and I think your values are evil?
01:04:35.000Well, that's assuming that 50% are on this side and 50% are on that side.
01:04:40.000Well, that I will never... I don't see that at all.
01:05:23.000They were like, get on your knees, and they said, okay, and did it.
01:05:25.000And are there enough of the fringe far-left extremists to wage an insurrection of a legitimately crazy scale?
01:05:33.000And I think most people will do nothing and say, leave me alone, and it'll come down to who wins.
01:05:38.000And I hear this all the time from people saying that, like, you don't understand, Tim.
01:05:42.000The military and the police would side with Trump in two seconds.
01:05:44.000It'd be the shortest civil war in history, and I'm like, have you ever actually gone to these military bases and talked to some of these people?
01:05:50.000I know some who say this have, and maybe their buddies in the military are, you know, more conservative, but I've met tons of cops Who would be like, I'll just do whatever I'm told.
01:05:59.000Two cops went and arrested gym owners because the Democratic governor said to.
01:06:03.000So if Trump said, Directive 51 is being invoked because we're gonna go war with China and COVID, you know, destroyed this country, and then one Democratic governor instructs the National Guard or the police to do something unconstitutional or defy Trump, they'll do it.
01:06:15.000It's not about whether or not there's enough fringe leftists, it's that we're already seeing it.
01:06:21.000Kate Brown can deploy her secret police and no one cares.
01:06:25.000Well, there's a difference between where we're at now and what that would mean.
01:06:30.000Because, you know, there's still some semblance of order.
01:06:34.000And what you're suggesting, when he enacts, you know, Directive 51, order would go out the window.
01:06:42.000And then suddenly they'd be like, let's go again.
01:06:44.000Because everyone would hear him say it or if not I mean most I would assume most policemen pay attention to the news and you know actually watch Trump speeches so they would probably hear it and they would probably be like alright if we're going to war and then all of a sudden the governor calls and be like no don't worry about China worry about the Feds.
01:07:06.000I have a feeling, again, I'm just using my own knowledge, my own assumptions of the general American public.
01:07:12.000They're going to be like, OK, we know that we're going to war.
01:07:18.000In New Jersey, especially when it's just a minority.
01:07:20.000Like I know you said they've infiltrated everybody this far left there.
01:07:25.000It's not even about that, necessarily.
01:07:27.000So I was at a gun shop and I was asking, like, what do I need to know in terms of laws for, like, you know, buying the gun, bringing it home.
01:07:35.000And we got to talking and they told me a story about a woman who lived in Philadelphia.
01:07:38.000For those that aren't familiar, where we live in South Jersey, it's like very, very close to the Philly metro, it's Philly suburbs, and about an hour from Philadelphia is Atlantic City on the east coast of South New Jersey, which is basically east coast Vegas.
01:07:53.000Like a lot of the same restaurants, a lot of the same casinos, just, you know, east coast style.
01:07:57.000This woman lived in Philadelphia, and Pennsylvania has better gun laws.
01:08:02.000She had a concealed carry permit, and she made the mistake of not checking the laws, and she was like a new, you know, relatively new gun owner.
01:08:09.000She was driving to Atlantic City to go to the casino, and she gets pulled over.
01:08:14.000And the cop comes up to her, and he says, how are you doing ma'am?
01:08:16.000And she says, because she was taught this at her school, to inform the officer that she's armed.
01:08:21.000And she said to the officer that she was concealed carrying, and he says, okay ma'am, can you step out of the vehicle for me?
01:08:26.000You're under arrest, felony charge, four year minimum.
01:08:29.000Fortunately, I guess the NRA stepped in and got the charges dropped, and it was a big scandal.
01:08:36.000I bring it up because the Second Amendment is clear.
01:08:40.000The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
01:08:43.000This woman was legally carrying a weapon as far as Pennsylvania was concerned, and she hopped over a bridge, and all of a sudden this cop said, I don't care about the Constitution or the laws.
01:09:04.000So when across the country they've been ticketing and arresting people for violating the edicts of governors that violate the Constitution, what do we call it?
01:09:15.000But that's not the same as if the President said, we're about to go to war, I'm enacting this Directive 51, we gotta come together so we can go against this enemy, this threat, head on, together.
01:09:59.000Sure, you can give me all these examples, but I still personally know cops that won't do that.
01:10:05.000I'm not making anything up out of thin air.
01:10:07.000in every talking about how can you make up out of thin air what you believe a
01:10:10.000cop would do when all the evidence is to the contrary and we have very little evidence of them actually standing
01:10:15.000up for the Because we've been talking for months about the media and what they portray and what they give us, what stories they string along and push out into the open.
01:10:25.000So of course we're hearing about all the bad cops.
01:10:28.000I know, personally, good cops that would not do that.
01:10:45.000The point is, it will not be every cop saying, you're right, Trump, we're with you.
01:10:49.000It's going to be split down the middle of a bunch of cops saying, I'll do whatever I'm told by my boss.
01:10:54.000And a bunch of other cops saying, I'll do what the Constitution mandates.
01:10:57.000So when Virginia tried to pass these laws that would seize guns, the sheriffs were like, not on my watch.
01:11:02.000But then a bunch of other places, they're like, I'll just arrest you and charge you with a felony.
01:11:05.000I don't care what the Constitution says.
01:11:07.000There's a lot of cops who don't care about doing what's right, they care about having a job.
01:11:12.000I mean, you look at Chicago, this is actually really funny.
01:11:14.000When I was reading about the launching of these new units, they talked about, on Fox 32, disbanding one of their units because it had been engaging in robberies and home invasions.
01:11:27.000So, like, those cops right away are, like, mob cops.
01:11:36.000I'm not saying that there's cops out there that won't fall in line, that won't go, OK, we're going to follow the president, who is the top dog as far as who runs the... He doesn't run the states.
01:11:49.000And he doesn't run the local departments.
01:13:08.000We've heard from a ton of people when we talk about standing up.
01:13:10.000They say, you don't understand, I have kids, I have to feed my family.
01:13:14.000If Trump said he was invoking Directive 51 to secure the election because a war is about to break out and we can't have infighting and chaos, and then the governor of this state told these officers, you must, do you think they're going to be like, well this is the one time I'm going to say I don't care about my family?
01:13:31.000No, they're going to say, I can't move, I don't have the money, I need food, and I'll do what I can to get food.
01:13:36.000You take a look at places like Venezuela, where the military literally fire live ammo at teenagers because they're like, if I don't, I can't feed my family.
01:13:45.000So it's better to be on the side of the government who guarantees me food than to fight with the people who would create a better government which would give everyone food.
01:13:53.000I'm saying that we have no guarantees about what will happen, and there's a good reason to believe that people would split in various factions, and we have no idea who would be on whose side.
01:14:02.000But to assume that people would just be like, there's the president, let's go for it, is- is just- I don't think there's any evidence for that.
01:14:08.000In fact, there's evidence of the contrary.
01:14:37.000It's got a Wikipedia entry, and I'm going to give it that much.
01:14:42.000I'm not saying it's true, but it's on Wikipedia.
01:14:45.000Sure, Wikipedia is supposed to be at least somewhat of a decent information aggregator.
01:14:50.000Arex 84 is short for Readiness Exercise 1984 was a classified scenario and drill developed by the United States federal government to detain large numbers of U.S.
01:14:59.000citizens deemed to be national security threats in the event the president declared a national emergency.
01:15:05.000The plan was first revealed in detail in a major daily newspaper by reporter Alfonso Charty in the July 5th, 1987 edition of the Miami Herald.
01:15:14.000possible reasons for such a roundup were reported to be widespread opposition to a US military
01:15:18.000invasion abroad, such as if the US were to directly invade Central America.
01:15:23.000To combat what the government perceived as subversive activities, the plan also authorized
01:15:27.000the military to direct ordered movements of civilian populations at state and regional
01:15:33.000levels, according to Professor Diana Reynolds.
01:15:37.000Existence of a master military contingency plan, of which RECS-84 was a part, garden
01:15:41.000plot and similar earlier exercise, Lantern Spike, were originally revealed by journalist
01:15:46.000Ron Reidenhower, who summarized his findings in an article in Counterspy.
01:15:50.000They go on to say that contingency plans by the U.S.
01:15:52.000government for rounding up people perceived by the government to be subversive or a threat to civil order have existed for many decades.
01:15:59.000For example, from 1967 to 1971, the FBI kept a list of over 100,000 people to be rounded up as subversives dubbed the addicts list.
01:16:16.000I remember, like, man, 15 years ago, Alex Jones ranting about the FEMA facilities that are prepared to take in a bunch of subversives and stuff.
01:16:51.000So my fear about this kind of stuff, and even with Directive 51, there was wording in both of them that said the federal government and in Directive 51, the president can enact it, but then the Congress can enact it also.
01:18:11.000I'm not talking about, you know, this is Matt Taibbi's writing.
01:18:17.000What people need to realize is that it's one thing when everything's calm and normal to be screaming about aliens and all this other stuff.
01:18:25.000It's another thing when we're experiencing an economic shutdown, 130 some odd days, massive economic collapse, potential war with another country.
01:19:03.000And Bill Barr has just said he will not wait until after the election to reveal the Durham report, the investigation.
01:19:11.000And there's two people investigating the whole thing too.
01:19:13.000It's very possible that in October, Durham releases his, or maybe even September, releases his report and it says Obama was involved, Biden was involved, these are criminal actions, there's gonna be indictments, all of this crazy stuff which triggers a massive wave, riots, whatever, who knows?
01:19:31.000It's also possible the Durham investigation says, you know what, nothing happened.
01:19:34.000I really don't think so, considering the confirmed report that's come out, but maybe?
01:19:38.000I mean, I still hold to the fact that I think Biden is going to retire at the end of August.
01:19:44.000I think the DNC is going to, because it's not over yet, once there's like a day or two left, they're going to be like, well, Biden is actually slipping.
01:20:05.000Let's, let's, I'll make one very important point.
01:20:08.000Over the past almost four years, wow, longer than four years, man, when the start of the Russia allegations against Trump, you know, in 2015, I think it was, the mainstream media has been telling us that our president was secretly colluding with Russia to subvert our government.
01:20:27.000That is one of the most insane things I have ever heard.
01:20:31.000Going so far, MSNBC actually hosted a guy who said Trump may have been, you know, a Russian asset, he believes, since 1984.
01:22:39.000And at, like, the two-hour mark in a four-hour stream, he used the N-word, ironically, to insult people he thought were racist in a way that he thought would offend them.
01:23:07.000Now, another user of Patreon, Owen Benjamin, who according to the Daily Dot, they call him far-right, they call him whatever, I don't know any- I really don't know anything about the guy.
01:24:23.000So now we are entering what may be one of the greatest Get Woke, Go Broke stories of all time.
01:24:29.000Patreon trying to enact these woke social justice rules may result in a massive multi-million dollar Silicon Valley startup going belly up But it also means all of the left-wing channels on the platform that rely on Patreon for their income will lose all of their income overnight.
01:25:21.000And then, to drive that spike straight in, Cernovich says, Sargon of Akkad could end Patreon if he had his followers file actions similar to the one Owen Benjamin fans did.
01:26:21.000But my understanding is that Patreon was served notice before they changed the rules that they would be getting these claims Okay, so now if everyone came forward they would say you're only coming forward now that you know however It's and it's it still might go through right because the the ruling I guess is you can't change now that patreon knows they're liable for banning these people mm-hmm
01:26:45.000The judge would probably be like, you only changed this because you knew you slighted all these people and don't want to get sued.
01:27:13.000But I still think they might lose on the grounds that if I sign up to a site and I agree to terms, you can't arbitrarily send me an email saying the terms have changed and you agree to it.
01:27:22.000Well, especially because Sargon got cancelled with no warning.
01:27:27.000In the middle of the night, you're done.
01:27:32.000And they had done this to other people like Lauren Southern.
01:27:34.000The important point is, again, not being a lawyer, I would personally question the legality Of me signing up for a website and it says, do you agree to these terms?
01:27:55.000I think you would need to have a new thing appear saying, hey, before you come in here, the new terms, you must agree to these.
01:28:01.000I'm not sure exactly what Patreon did, but my understanding is they sent an email out saying, by the way, if you're still using the site after January 1st, you agree to these terms.
01:28:10.000And the judge was like, nah, get out of here with that, you can't do that, nah.
01:28:15.000People signed up to these terms, those are the terms you wrote, this one's on you.
01:30:06.000The judge's stance is probably more like, I can sympathize with the fact your company's about to cease, it will no longer exist after this, but the law matters to more than just you.
01:30:52.000Lauren Southern was on a boat in the Mediterranean, and he said that she crossed the line when she said to get in front of some NGO rescue vessel.
01:31:04.000I talked to him on the phone and I was in Vegas at the time and I was like, I was tweeting about how I'm going to end my Patreon and people didn't know how much money I was making on Patreon at the time because the numbers were private.
01:32:48.000And I told a bunch of people, especially moderates, conservatives, and, you know, even not necessarily political channels that were anti-SJW.
01:32:56.000And I said, you need to get off Patreon now.
01:33:00.000They have shown complete willingness, on more than one occasion, to terminate the income of somebody without notice.
01:33:06.000And that's not fair because the agreement I have is with my patrons, not with Patreon.
01:33:11.000Why are they getting involved in politics?
01:33:16.000If this really is the end of Patreon, if, If Sargon, all of his thousands of patrons, file arbitration claims, and they have to front the bill, Loren Southern and Milo, we're talking about... If Cernovich is saying that a hundred plus claims is what they're facing, and he said in a live stream it could be fifteen to twenty million dollars, because it's not just the ten... it's twenty five hundred to ten thousand dollars
01:34:14.000Based on what we've seen from other big networks that act as intermediaries between creators and their money, I'd be willing to bet Patreon will steal the money, in my opinion, will take the money from their creators to cover the cost of legal fees.
01:34:30.000Otherwise, their company doesn't exist anymore.
01:34:37.000They can show on their books ridiculous sums of money, because when everyone donates, it goes to Patreon, then Patreon has this massive bank account, and then pays it all out and goes right back down.
01:34:48.000However, if all of the money comes in at once, and Patreon is holding, you know, $100 million, they have to pay out $99 million, right?
01:34:56.000Because that's money supposed to go to the creators from their fans.
01:34:59.000But Patreon's facing this major lawsuit.
01:35:18.000These are big companies where YouTubers will sign up and YouTube AdSense goes to the company first and then to you.
01:35:26.000One of these companies went out of business.
01:35:28.000And so, when all the money from YouTube went to their company, and they filed, and they declared bankruptcy or whatever, I don't remember what they did, but they were shutting down, none of the YouTubers got their money.
01:35:41.000And the company considered the money owed to the creators as liabilities that they could not pay out.
01:35:47.000So they used the YouTubers' money to pay their salaries, and I believe, in the best of my, you know, I'm very careful, we're dealing with legal matters.
01:35:55.000So, in my understanding of the case, and I could be wrong about this, so fact check, was that they took the money to cover their own losses, and then all the YouTubers were like, yo, where's our money?
01:36:54.000Other people have pointed out that it's going to be a big waste of money for everyone involved to file against Patreon.
01:37:00.000And then, you know, it's, it's, you've always got to take these things with a grain of salt because I'm sure there's going to be some lefty lawyer who's going to argue why Patreon will be fine.
01:37:10.000Based on Patreon's own lawyer saying to the judge, if we lose, we will be on the hook for millions of dollars and them losing, I would bet that Cernovich is right.
01:37:30.000So Patreon was trying to argue that this was an attack against them, that Owen Benjamin's fans knew that if they filed because of this law, California would force them to pay the costs.
01:37:42.000Oh, you mean hold them accountable for what they illegally did against their own terms of service by booting these people?
01:37:49.000I don't know about illegally, because they could boot whoever they want.
01:37:55.000The issue is, so it's like, these people want their $20 back.
01:38:00.000And so they're going to arbitration over it, demanding it.
01:38:03.000And that means they have to- Give me my $20 back that I gave to Owen Benjamin.
01:38:08.000And then you severed the contract and now where's my, you know, my goods aren't gonna come, right?
01:38:14.000Apparently there's another big factor here in that by changing the terms of service to try and prevent these suits, it was- See, now that's dirty.
01:38:41.000We'll see what Sargon, Lauren, and Milo do.
01:38:44.000But more importantly, it doesn't matter what they do.
01:38:47.000It matters what all of the Patreons who canceled their accounts last year do.
01:38:51.000Because if they all decide, I want my money back because I spent money and didn't get what I wanted because Patreon did this, Patreon owes me that money back.
01:39:02.000So if you're one of those people, I mean, if I was one of those people and I gave money to Sargon, You still have to file the claims, though, which might cost money.
01:39:50.000I don't—based on everything I've heard about this, I do believe it may sound too good to be true, because even if you're gonna lose in arbitration, you can still force them to front the costs.
01:40:29.000I lost a bunch of patrons because when they banned Lauren, people got mad.
01:40:33.000When they banned Sargon, people got mad.
01:40:34.000But then once Sam Harris left, and Dave Rubin, and Jordan Peterson, Banning Sargon lost me patrons because Sargon and I have some subscriber overlap.
01:42:07.000VillaMusicDude says, did you guys hear the incident with Austin Tong?
01:42:11.000The University of Fordham banned him from campus and charged him with a hate crime, bias, intimidating threats for posting a pro 2A pic on Instagram and calling people hypocrites when Dave Dorn died in the riots.
01:43:15.000So the crazy thing about the banning of those doctors was that Breitbart was just live streaming a press conference and Facebook banned a news organization doing it, filming a press conference.
01:43:55.000That's a reference to some Antifa guy who was seen on camera fanning flames at the courthouse, and then later was interviewed, like, they tried to steal me.
01:44:02.000It's like, well, maybe if you weren't burning and destroying things.
01:45:32.000Vesidia says, I can't wait till the moment when mainstream media tries Kayleigh McEnany over mail-in voting, and she pulls out an actual issue of the New York Times from 10-7-2012.
01:45:43.000I tried to find one to send, no luck yet.
01:45:46.000That's the, that's, it's October, I believe, yeah, October 7th, 2012.
01:46:19.000MacArthur says, keep up the good work.
01:46:21.000I'm definitely more of a conservative than all of you, but I like what I'm hearing.
01:46:24.000Yeah, because I think if you actually care about America, it doesn't matter if you're a real liberal or conservative.
01:46:30.000What matters is that there are people who hate America right now, and they're literally in our cultural institutions saying they hate America and lying about it.
01:47:32.000Also, I've been, so COVID actually jammed us up.
01:47:34.000We've been trying, I've been trying to expand for a long time before we even started the show, and because of one sale of a building fell through, then COVID, COVID happened, and it was like... Well, and we started the show, and you work like a madman, so your free time is very...
01:49:12.000Uncle Juan says, I heard some Vietnam era Democrats the other day talk about how they hope riots come to our area so they can teach all the Republicans a lesson.
01:53:09.000Eldon Taylor says, I'm a paramedic instructor, and watching these Antifa medics, they have conducted inappropriate medical care, and it's apparent they are not trained medical personnel.
01:53:18.000They are laypersons claiming to be medics.
01:56:31.000There was a, I talked about this on Twitter and there was countless people from New Zealand that were like, I've never heard of this before.
01:58:09.000If you guys think we do a better job than CNN, and you like a news commentary show where people like Adam will wear a MAGA beanie, then make sure you share the podcast.
01:59:37.000Yes, an amazing, amazing troll on anti-Trump.
01:59:41.000You know, I gotta just say thanks, because this is something that I was saying in the early days of our show about how I was like, you know, we gotta just make America greater, you know?
02:06:27.000On Joe Rogan, Matt Taibbi, I think it was Matt Taibbi and Joe Rogan talked about Talked about this.
02:06:31.000Matt said something like, because the media has basically become partisan, clickbait, whatever, that it's going to create a hole in the market for real news.
02:06:41.000And whoever does that will be very, very well off.
02:07:24.000The goal of the game is to cancel your opponent, and it's relatively simple, but that's what we're working on now.
02:07:31.000We're going to be moving into a much bigger facility.
02:07:33.000And then we've got a ton of work to do.
02:07:35.000But one of the first things I'm going to be doing, because I talked about this last year, is starting a news slash fact-checking organization.
02:07:43.000And we're going to rate other companies based on their violations of journalistic ethics.
02:07:47.000So we're going to sample 100 stories and then give them a score based on how many violations they had.
02:08:07.000It's an animatic with voiceover explaining it.
02:08:10.000And we're gonna do a bunch of this on a new channel with, you know, various new stuff, so get ready for all of that.
02:08:16.000But it is past 10, so I don't know if you wanted to give any final thoughts.
02:08:19.000Well, if you go to my, I was just thinking about it, if you go to my Twitter, on my, whatever, subject line, my bio, you can, there's my PayPal.
02:08:30.000So if you really want to see me in a MAGA thong, I'm a man of my word.
02:08:37.000We're gonna need to go fund me to show the full amount has been reached, though.
02:09:07.000But we're competing against basically every other podcast.
02:09:10.000We're competing against mainstream media, and they have establishment power, massive wealth, and they're going to dump hundreds of millions of dollars in ads.
02:09:18.000They're going to buy their way into any platform they want.
02:09:20.000They're going to use their connections.
