On this episode of the podcast, we discuss the latest in the case against Democratic Sen. Anthony Fauci, who is facing criminal charges related to the leak of information from a government lab. We also discuss the ongoing case against former NYPD Detective Brego Garcia, who has been charged with the murder of a woman who was allegedly beaten to death by a gang member. And we have a special guest on the show, who happens to be an angry cop.
00:02:28.000The White House has repurposed COVID.gov into the origins of the lab leak.
00:02:34.000Now, that alone is what's being reported.
00:02:36.000But when you start to read through it, what gets interesting is that it appears to me that they're gearing up public support for the prosecution of Anthony Fauci, or at least they're trying to create this perception that he is culpable for what happened during the COVID lockdowns.
00:02:52.000The first half of this report largely just talks about things.
00:02:57.000Fauci lied about and then abruptly shows the pardon of Fauci from Joe Biden, which, of course, Donald Trump has said was void already.
00:03:26.000Fifty-four percent, according to Echelon, want all the illegal immigrants deported, and they largely don't care about the intricacies of a Brego Garcia's case.
00:03:34.000So when Democrats go down there and they dedicate everything to defending an MS-13 gang member, it doesn't help.
00:04:33.000Learn about the United States Constitution, the stories in the book of Genesis, the rise and fall of the Roman Republic, or the history of the ancient Christian church with Hillsdale College free online courses.
00:04:42.000Hillsdale recently launched a new course, Understanding Capitalism.
00:04:48.000In seven lectures, you'll learn about the role of profit and loss, how human nature plays a role in our economic system, why capitalism depends on private property rights, the rule of law, and above all, freedom, and why capitalism is ultimately a system that encourages morality rather than undermines it.
00:05:02.000Go right now to hillsdale.edu to enroll in this course, Understanding Capitalism.
00:05:08.000There's no cost, and it's easy to get started.
00:06:02.000I'm just excited to be here again, guys.
00:06:04.000I have so much fun when I come out here.
00:06:06.000For anyone who doesn't know me, I'm a small business advocate.
00:06:08.000I regularly testify before Congress, the FTC, and I help fundraise for small businesses fighting off big corporations that are trying to shut them down.
00:06:18.000Of course, Andrew Bronco is here as well.
00:06:20.000Yes, I'm an attorney and a member of the Supreme Court Bar whose expertise is use of force law.
00:06:26.000I have a wonderful book I give away for free, How to Be Hard to Convict.
00:06:29.000If you're ever compelled to defend yourself, your family, or your property, get this for free at lawofselfdefense.com slash Tim.
00:06:37.000And I have a wonderful YouTube channel as well, Law of Self-Defense.
00:07:11.000Now the reason that's interesting is that this is the repurposed COVID.gov, which highlights the lab leak origins.
00:07:19.000It goes on to basically say, here are the origins, here's the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the wet market.
00:07:24.000But what I find really interesting is that it basically goes through how Fauci, and with his funding through Peter Daszak into the Wuhan lab, they were doing gain-of-function research.
00:07:35.000It even says, a lab-related incident involving gain-of-function research is the most likely origin.
00:08:15.000Now, I don't know if we'll ever actually see arrests of people who we feel did wrong at any point in time in the previous administration or otherwise.
00:08:22.000I mean, Fauci was working in the Trump administration.
00:08:25.000That being said, the rumor is, come summertime, we will see some kind of arrests.
00:08:31.000I don't know if you guys agree with that or believe we'll see anything like that, but what do you think?
00:08:35.000One thing I'll mention, of course, is a pardon does not protect you from civil action.
00:08:39.000There's no reason the federal government can't be suing this guy for fraud, malfeasance, and all the...
00:08:44.000Probably trillions of dollars of damages he caused to the American people.
00:08:48.000The other thing is the pardon power, of course, is a core and plenary power of the Article II executive branch, the president.
00:08:55.000The only branch of government where the entire authority, the executive authority, is endowed on one single individual.
00:09:02.000The pardon's only legitimate if it's backed by that single individual's will.
00:09:46.000If you, I mean, he didn't sign, I mean, we don't have a wet signature on almost anything.
00:09:50.000By the way, if they used an auto pen and he says, yes, I authorize the auto pen, that's legit.
00:09:57.000He doesn't have to sign it personally.
00:09:58.000The problem is we don't have that connection between his will and the use of the auto pen.
00:10:03.000And we know it was being accessed by a variety of people.
00:10:06.000You just mentioned what immediately I went to, which is that a pardon doesn't protect you from anything civil.
00:10:12.000And I would not think it out of the realm of possibility given...
00:10:17.000Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s track record of outright disdain for Anthony Fauci and his book, The Real Anthony Fauci, which most of those talking points were almost taken letter for letter from.
00:10:28.000I would not be shocked if they started posting documents here that could help the civil cases to start.
00:10:59.000There was an article that came out earlier today, like five, six hours ago, where they said that it looks like maybe there was some failure to disclose that he wasn't quite retired and was already accepting money.
00:11:08.000It sounds like gain-of-pension research.
00:11:14.000I would say now, with the White House asserting they were doing gain-of-function research, I mean, we've got contradictory statements from Fauci.
00:11:23.000In court saying outright, we did not do this.
00:11:27.000He was very clear that they weren't doing gain-of-function research.
00:11:30.000And also, he was doubling down on all of these mandates and requirements, the six-foot thing, the mask thing.
00:11:36.000And then when books started coming out, what was it?
00:11:39.000Dr. Deborah Burke's book came out, and it was revealed that the six-foot thing was just what they were doing since the Middle Ages or something.
00:11:48.000It's like it's just always been six foot, so we never really questioned it.
00:12:25.000My favorite mask, though, had to have been Alyssa Milano's Alyssa Milano's crocheted mask.
00:12:30.000That was my favorite one because she took a picture, a selfie of her and her family in their car and they were all masked up and she was like, I made mine!
00:12:39.000And everyone was like, you realize there's holes in it.
00:13:27.000And so we were shut down for 17 months, second longest closure in the United States, in my tiny little county, just right down the street from here.
00:13:33.000And during that time frame, we had to go to being a virtual school.
00:13:37.000So we went from being a gymnastics facility to a virtual school where kids would bring their laptops in.
00:13:41.000And we were only allowed to have 18 of them.
00:13:43.000And no matter what their ages were, we had to put siblings in the same pod, which was so unsafe.
00:13:48.000We had 3-year-olds alongside 11- and 12-year-olds.
00:13:51.000And when they had to go to play in the gym, they had to be together.
00:13:56.000When they had to go to art class, they were together, but they weren't anywhere near the same skill set.
00:13:59.000And what would happen was they repurposed all the health department inspectors that were doing restaurants before us, and they would come in and harass the kids.
00:14:06.000And they would come over and ask, do you have a brother or sister here?
00:14:11.000Like they would come in and they would say they would shut us down by force if we didn't let them come in and interrogate children to make sure they didn't have siblings in the room.
00:14:41.000previous administration it can you revoke a presidential pardon i don't it is pretty much unprecedented it's happened i think twice give me those examples yeah so i believe at one point i i went all through this a while ago when he first said when trump first said he was roking
00:14:56.000pardons but it's happened twice one george w bush revoked a pardon that he had given himself ah okay
00:15:03.000And that was different, and he revoked that pardon, and I believe Ulysses S. Grant revoked a pardon.
00:15:09.000And in both cases, these pardons were revoked before the pardonee had received the pardon.
00:15:15.000So that ended up being the determining factor that pardons were eligible for revocation.
00:15:20.000Under the George Bush case, it was because he had given a pardon to someone who then it turned out that guy's dad gave a ton of money to the GOP, and he was like, yeah, it looks dodgy.
00:15:58.000You would need, like, a whistleblower from inside that was a part of it, or you would need to be able to question a former president, which is really difficult to do.
00:16:05.000Especially when it's one that's mentally retarded.
00:16:07.000Well, and then the issue comes up, I think, the auto-pen thing.
00:16:13.000Infirmed. I think the auto pen thing is interesting.
00:16:16.000I was talking to someone on postmillennial staff who had previously been a congressional staffer, and he said that the senator he worked for often authorized use of the auto pen, but that was a direct authorization.
00:18:04.000And it's very similar to what COVID skeptics were saying for years and were canceled from the Internet and from their jobs and everything else for saying.
00:18:14.000Except for Jon Stewart because he was one of them.
00:18:16.000Well, that was really funny how Colbert was going like, when Jon Stewart was like, it's the lab, it's the lab.
00:18:22.000Yep. Stephen Colbert was dancing around with the people in vaccine costumes.
00:18:27.000And the funny thing is, that's the only one most people cite, but you know he did that several times.
00:18:30.000Really? The vaccine was an ongoing segment he did with a bunch of different weird shenanigans where syringes were dancing around.
00:18:39.000Everyone likes to cite that one where they're on stage doing the stupid dance.
00:19:11.000And in our county, all of our test scores tanked.
00:19:15.000My kids' school went from a 9.5 out of 10 to a 4 out of 10 in that two-year span of their testing.
00:19:21.000Most of the kids are now reading three grade levels below when they were at level at the time that the pandemic began.
00:19:28.000But one of the things that has been striking is that what...
00:19:31.000What we have done is conditioned this entire younger side of the generation that's come up through this to lose their ability to think imaginatively, which doesn't seem like a big deal if you're like, oh, they can't pretend to be a fireman or a police officer, right?
00:19:43.000But it is a very big deal if you need them to creatively problem solve or innovate.
00:19:47.000We have literally stunted the ability to innovate because they don't have.
00:20:00.000And if you, like, breach these protocols, we damaged children in ways that we will not know, we will not fully see fleshed out for decades.
00:20:09.000But it will be long-term, like, it's going to be catastrophic.
00:20:13.000So we had a caller on the Uncensored Call-In Show who made a really interesting point about autism rights in kids because RFK Jr. has been talking about this massive spike.
00:20:23.000And I'm going to paraphrase the general idea because the idea was that what we perceive to be autism in young people today may actually be developmental disabilities caused by tablets.
00:20:35.000And some people instantly said, BS, there are kids that are one or two that are showing autism symptoms.
00:20:41.000So I want to clarify this, but I do think it's important to talk about.
00:20:49.000In autism diagnoses now among very young people, children, you know, over the past 10 years.
00:20:56.000And while I do think a lot of it is regular old autism, I also think some of it may be developmental disabilities caused by children being handed tablets.
00:21:19.000That's coming from a cop who said that.
00:21:20.000I don't know what you're talking about.
00:21:21.000But we largely will talk to the kid, right?
00:21:24.000So I have a new baby, baby cries, and my wife is saying, like, what do you want?
00:21:27.000I just fed you, and interacting in a normal human way.
00:21:31.000Parents now put a tablet in front of the kid or the baby and press play.
00:21:35.000That is not a normal social interaction.
00:21:37.000So what then happens is, in the most formative years of a human's life, when the neural pathways are being built around how a human needs to interact, They've replaced human social interaction with autoplayed videos.
00:22:08.000The other thing, you were mentioning, you know...
00:22:11.000What was going on during COVID with education.
00:22:14.000And the other thing we taught our kids during that time is that education doesn't matter.
00:22:19.000Right? So it's very hard to pull kids back and say, now it matters what your grades are.
00:22:24.000Now it matters that you show up for school, even though during COVID, if you were around, this was in Brooklyn, New York, if you were around someone who had COVID, you couldn't go to school for two weeks.
00:22:35.000So we already taught them that education is bogus, that it doesn't matter if you go to school, that it doesn't matter if you learn anything, because they weren't learning anything on the Chromebooks that got sent home.
00:22:45.000And so now how do you tell a kid who's entering high school, Now education matters, even though we have destroyed your education from fourth grade to the present.
00:22:56.000And you used the word stunted for this mental, cognitive, and emotional development.
00:23:01.000Yes. And not only might that be possible, it literally has to be possible.
00:23:06.000Because if you took these same children, the same ages, and you put them on a starvation diet for 18 months, they would not physically develop correctly.
00:23:14.000And they would never get that growth back.
00:23:30.000I actually started a new small business because I was so concerned because one of the things that we saw consistently across all of the dropped test scores was this creative problem-solving creative thinking had dropped almost to nothing in all of the kids that were like...
00:23:48.000One to two, all the way up through like eight.
00:23:51.000And so I built this Imagination Play Center.
00:23:53.000They can pretend to be a police officer.
00:23:55.000They can pretend to be at a grocery store or whatever, right?
00:23:58.000I wanted to give that back to my community because everything went out of business during COVID.
00:24:01.000We lost 37 children's businesses in my small town during COVID.
00:24:05.000We were one of the only ones that survived.
00:24:06.000So I built it and we built it for eight and under thinking that was the age I could still impact.
00:24:11.000I actually thought that was the only age we could help.
00:24:13.000So we said eight and under when we opened.
00:24:16.000Then, the first week, my daughter, who's 12, had all her little friends roaming the mall because it's in a shopping mall.
00:24:21.000They were all out in a pack, and she comes to me, and she says, Mom, on her walkie-talkie, and she says, Mom, can we come hang out at the Grove?
00:24:27.000And I'm like, yeah, but you guys are kind of old, and you know my tech rule.
00:24:29.000It's no tech in here, so your friends will have to hand over their cell phones.
00:25:24.000But for the young kids up to that, like, tweenage age, they were denied the ability to develop the type of imagination skills necessary to innovate.
00:25:35.000And as a country, we will pay for that.
00:25:53.000And I will give credit to the Republican states that started to back away from it.
00:25:56.000But the response from the left in terms of all the lockdowns is these liberals have been posting, oh, wow, we better get to the bottom of who initiated the lockdowns and who was in charge of the administration when these policies were being put in place.
00:26:08.000It's why a lot of libertarians didn't like Trump.
00:26:10.000Because he was the boss, and he let Fauci and Birx kind of just do their thing.
00:26:36.000I'll also say, like, I absolutely have a huge problem with all of things that Trump and then Biden did during COVID that destroyed small businesses and children.
00:26:51.000We literally, selectively shut down the world for 505 days and in that same time frame of destroying millions of small businesses that never came back.
00:27:01.000The backbone of our economy, we created 551 new billionaires.
00:27:05.000And ask how much money Google made off of all of the Chromebooks they sold that our government subsidized.
00:27:10.000Ask how much they chose the winners and losers of our economy.
00:27:21.000Don't you think that, Tiffany, that the government really stepped up and made sure to make millions of people reliant on government funds during that time?
00:27:29.000It feels like they stepped up and made us reliant on everything.
00:27:39.000And when that party got there, they kept it.
00:27:42.000To rise up against law enforcement, the rule of law, so then they could push back and not have any sort of deterrent when they overthrow the United States?
00:28:09.000We obliterated the source for those job growth.
00:28:11.000When Biden wanted to increase job numbers, what did he do?
00:28:14.000Every job he created was a government job.
00:28:16.000That's why there's tens of thousands of people available.
00:28:19.000They're still on probationary employees to be fired by Trump.
00:28:22.000A lot of people don't know this, but I'm actually the public policy liaison for the American Small Business League.
00:28:27.000And the statistics people find most shocking that we use all the time is that in the last 25 years, 99.9% of all jobs created in this country were created by small businesses because big corporations only develop efficiencies to increase productivity with less labor.
00:28:44.000They destroy jobs while small businesses create them and cultivate them.
00:29:10.000The amount of money that was given in pharmaceutical grants, the amount of money that was given to big box stores, they would shut, famously, There was a photo from a Walmart that was open, but they closed the gardening section.
00:29:25.000Yeah. You could go to the Walmart, buy whatever you want.
00:30:43.000These are disaster relief loans for every state in America as long as your governor instituted a state of emergency.
00:30:49.000And then suddenly, I was a debt-free business.
00:30:52.000I had worked so hard to stay debt-free and build my business from the ground up.
00:30:57.000And I was forced to take out a $250,000 loan to survive.
00:31:00.000And they gave those loans to everyone.
00:31:03.000But they were given by banks that then repackaged them and sold off that debt.
00:31:08.000And let me tell you, that's sitting out there.
00:31:09.000They're in a whole bunch of CLOs right now.
00:31:11.000These are the only loans simultaneously that our SBA does not publish the metrics on for how many of them have defaulted because they just handed them out like this.
00:31:20.000There was so much fraud that happened during COVID.
00:31:23.000And go to franchises, which I was a franchise.
00:31:26.000Franchisors used the SBA during that time like a money printing machine, including my favorite always private equity-backed franchisors, forced us to take out loans.
00:31:33.000They were like, you will take out these loans and you will keep paying us while landlords and stuff were giving us.
00:31:38.000And so the SBA turned in one money printing machine.
00:31:42.000The banks were the ones that got to hand out all that cash, but it was guarantored by the government.
00:31:46.000They knew that most of us weren't going to survive.
00:31:48.000The government is now paying off all those loans because they guaranteed the loans.
00:31:52.000There's a lot of people you'll see on the DOJ.
00:31:54.000The DOJ is prosecuting people for COVID PPE loans and all that kind of stuff.
00:32:45.000Goodbye. The lobbyists fought so hard.
00:32:48.000There was so much advertising money poured into it, though, because this money was printed by the government and handed out by the banks, and the banks just got the money passing through, and they got all of these transaction processing fees.
00:32:57.000They made huge money, and I am guilty.
00:33:08.000Not nearly the level of grants that other people got, but I got a small grant, and then I ultimately had to, after a year passed, I had to take a loan.
00:33:16.000My franchisor made me, so I had to take out a loan.
00:34:34.000you can see that the marijuana is M, the smile is S, the cross is 1, and the skull is 3. Now, the only question I have is, I understand MS1, but what about the 3?
00:34:55.000So, I mean, marijuana smiley is MS and the cross is a 1. And they all did have tattoos like this on their hands.
00:35:01.000Now, the reporting from gang officers and a DA who appeared on Fox is that they've moved away from tattoos because it makes you easily identifiable and prosecutable.
00:35:14.000But, ladies and gentlemen, I can't believe we even have to have this conversation.
00:35:18.000I know that every single person listening right now knows this already.
00:35:51.000The marijuana smiley face is clearly MS. Is there an argument they're going to have to why he has comparable gang tattoos to MS-13, which spells out at least MS-1?
00:36:02.000He's got multiple sclerosis, he loves Jesus, and he'll go to the grave believing that.
00:36:07.000I don't see why any of you would say this young man who's obviously having trouble going to school and needs a job hanging outside of Home Depot would be anything other than a fantastic addition to the United States population.
00:36:19.000Racism. Have you encountered any stuff like this in your line of work?
00:36:23.000No, the city of Buffalo has a majority of local gangs, so block gangs.
00:36:29.000We've got Bailey Avenue, so you've got the Bailey Boys and stuff like that.
00:37:11.000They'll be the OG for a block gang, but they'll be Bloods.
00:37:15.000So a specific example that I can think of is, there was an old head, he was a Blood, is a Blood, and he takes these two or three smaller block gangs under his wing.
00:37:25.000They don't battle with one another, they're friendly with one another, and they don't work for him, but he guides them, and he also has connections to other blood groups.
00:40:51.000Even the TDA guys under the Alien Enemies Act are entitled to due process.
00:40:55.000But what due process means is not the same for everybody.
00:40:58.000The due process I'm entitled to as an American citizen before I can be deported from the country is very, very high.
00:41:05.000The amount of due process someone who's here on an asylum basis or a temporary basis or a parole basis or a completely unlawful basis is very, very, very low.
00:41:14.000That's why we have immigration courts.
00:41:16.000Congress said, we don't want these immigration cases going through our federal district trial courts.
00:41:46.000For example, these don't have to be individualized hearings.
00:41:49.000You could bring in 100 MS-13 guys, and the government could hold up a piece of paper and say, yes, we've determined that each of these is an MS-13 people subject to deportation.
00:42:41.000So the first thing a court is supposed to ask itself when a dispute is presented to it is, do I, as the court, even have the jurisdictional authority to hear this case?
00:42:51.000This is an El Salvadoran citizen who's in El Salvador.
00:42:55.000But if he was an American, they'd have jurisdiction over the American citizen, right?
00:42:59.000No, no, my argument is, if an American citizen got deported to El Salvador like Democrats are whinging about...
00:43:04.000Courts would have jurisdiction because the U.S. government has jurisdiction over American citizens.
00:43:08.000You can look at the types of things that we're doing with prisoner exchanges with Russia when we're trying to get out what we believe are politically held prisoners over there.
00:43:16.000We can't make Russia, through a court order or any other means, release them to us.
00:44:25.000In 2021, she files a petition for protection on domestic violence accusations.
00:44:31.000She says that he's punched her, mercilessly beaten her, given her a black eye.
00:44:36.000All of a sudden, she stops following through with it.
00:44:40.000What could possibly be the reason for a woman to claim that this guy, who has been accused of human trafficking, who has MS-13 gang tattoos, who is believed by two courts to be an MS-13 gang member, why would she abruptly just decide, you know what, these multiple beatings he's given me?
00:45:32.000No. This is the point I'm bringing about Obrego Garcia's wife.
00:45:35.000So she files for an order of protection saying he's punched her, he's beat her with a work boot, gave her a black eye.
00:45:41.000The most reasonable conclusion as to why she withdrew is because an MS-13 gang member and his gang member buddies are saying, don't mess with us, you know what MS-13 can do.
00:45:53.000No. The amount of times that I've had domestics where partners, kids, we'll just stick with partners, right?
00:45:58.000Husband and wife that get into domestics with active orders of protection that I'll go in and I'll investigate and they say, hey, he assaulted me.
00:46:06.000I need you to come in for a statement.
00:46:07.000Well, a week later, she keeps ignoring my phone calls.
00:46:10.000I got to close the case because all she wanted was to have the guy removed for the day.
00:46:14.000She's going to bring him right back into the house the next day and violate the order of protection that's in between them because they've got a long-standing relationship.
00:46:20.000And that's par for the course for a lot, a lot of domestic violence issues.
00:46:25.000And the court filing here said they dismissed it because she did not appear in court to follow up.
00:46:29.000And so she said that we worked it out.
00:46:32.000And I agree with you in a normal case, but not when MS-13 is involved.
00:46:37.000She's right now doing all of these things which are in contradiction to what she had claimed before and she's raising lots of money.
00:46:44.000So one could argue she either lied then or she's lying now, saying everything was fine because she's getting hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:46:51.000From what we've seen in the media of what MS-13 does to people who go against it, notably, 15 years ago, some hackers in Mexico, not really hackers, but internet activists, threatened to leak information that would compromise MS-13.
00:47:04.000They were both found strung up and hung from a highway sign.
00:47:08.000People were driving past their corpses.
00:47:11.000I would actually argue it is much simpler to assume an MS-13 gang member who's about to get an order of protection, that's going to bring unwanted attention to what they're doing.
00:47:47.000I mean, more than enough YouTubers have covered stories of women making false accusations for us to be like, there are instances where women claim they were abused.
00:48:08.000There's plenty of cases of women who will injure themselves and then report it as spouses.
00:48:14.000There was a super viral video this week of the landlord that went into a woman's home, called 911, and then said she was being beaten, started throwing herself on the floor and into a wall.
00:48:22.000And the woman had a camera in the house and she got on film.
00:48:30.000With MS-13 involved, and look, I know that MS-13's got a reputation for being super brutal.
00:48:39.000Yeah. I can tell you from the gangs in Chicago, we had a dude, who was the dude who came on the show, Serge, who got shot at and his camera guy got shot?
00:49:13.000An order of protection or a domestic violence issue where maybe he gets locked up or where she decides, you know, well, hey, I'm part of the lifestyle anyway and this happens.
00:49:22.000Whatever acceptance that she wants to say.
00:49:23.000An order of protection and an assault or harassment charge is nothing compared to these guys.
00:49:28.000What if it puts the guy on the radar of the police?
00:49:30.000They're already on the radar for the police.
00:50:13.000It says a USCIS interview that finds the circumstances of his home country have changed, voids his withholding of deportation, and then he can be removed.
00:50:22.000I'd imagine any police scrutiny, especially beating your wife, is going to put his standing in this country at risk and negatively impact a game.
00:50:52.000But he lost his withholding on a different basis entirely.
00:50:56.000In February this year, when MS-13 was designated a terrorist organization, he became a terrorist, and they're ineligible by function of law.
00:51:50.000First of all, she's got an incentive to say whatever she's got to say about a guy she claimed was beating her, but the gang is also going to be like, we want that money.
00:51:58.000You think the gang is taking the money that she's bringing in?
00:52:01.000Hey, look, man, I don't know if I have a more serious view of gangs than you or the people who watch, but I guess from the gangs that I know and how they operate...
00:52:10.000A regular street gang in Chicago would be doing exactly as I'm describing it right now.
00:52:16.000If she had found $200,000 in a grocery bag on the street and brought it home and the gang found out about it, they would take the money.
00:52:22.000They're not going to let her keep that money.
00:52:23.000The reason I think this is, the gangs that I knew in Chicago, if a woman was panicking over her boyfriend who was in the gang and was beating her, the gang would walk up to her with a gun and say, you say one word of this and you're dead.
00:52:36.000Why would MS-13 not do that to her when she filed for domestic?
00:52:43.000I feel like you're coming from the point of view where, because she dropped these charges and because she's gang-affiliated, that it has to be some sort of gang.
00:52:52.000The view I have is, what is the simpler solution?
00:52:54.000What makes the least amount of assumptions?
00:52:56.000In a normal circumstance, I completely agree.
00:53:22.000So many women just drop it either because they can't provide for their kids and they know they need the man back, whether it's miserable or not.
00:53:29.000Like, as somebody who grew up in a foster household...
00:53:32.000Domestic violence is something that is common in many of my foster siblings.
00:53:37.000So my view and what I'm describing is I think it's slightly more probable that the gang did what gangs do and says, shut your mouth or else.
00:53:51.000I'm going to say that I think it's even more likely that the handlers that are arguing for a specific culture point right now would be saying, shut your mouth.
00:55:59.000You know, the experiences that I've had in Chicago with women who are dating gang members is that if a woman ever got beat by her boyfriend in a gang, she'd never even get to the filing process.
00:56:08.000The gang would be there knocking on her door and they'd have guns and they'd be like, look, just don't say anything.
00:56:13.000Otherwise, it's going to get bad for everybody.
00:56:14.000I'm sure that's true, but that lacks the political dynamic that we have going on here in the spotlight.
00:56:20.000I'm saying in 2021 before the spotlight.
00:56:53.000And potentially the other guys who are with him, who knows?
00:56:55.000It's going to put a negative light on him.
00:56:58.000The gang experience that I have is any scrutiny from law enforcement on what they do could blow the whole thing open.
00:57:05.000And the last thing they want when they're dealing drugs is a woman claiming she's being beaten, which generates substantially more sympathy than someone slinging pot to another drug dealer or to some scummy kid.
00:57:15.000Okay. So what I'm saying is she drops this in 2021.
00:57:19.000Because MS-13 says, we've already got these people breathing down our neck, trying to deport Abrego.
00:57:24.000He works for us, and you're going to screw us over.
00:57:27.000Let's say Abrego, he was accused of human trafficking.
00:57:29.000He was in a car, loaded with people in 2022.
00:57:32.000This means, if that accusation is true, he was still working and doing trafficking work for MS-13 a year later.
00:57:38.000If she goes to the police and says, he's beating me, they lose their human trafficker.
00:57:42.000So I think it stands to reason they went to her and said, shut the f*** up.
00:58:45.000The point I was making the other day, which the left is lying about, is judges cannot create de facto permanent residency through a technicality.
00:58:52.000That means this is a temporary status, which is subject to being revoked at any time.
00:58:59.000And the only mistake Trump made, if there was an error, was that he needed to have a USCIS interview with Abrego Garcia before deportation, which literally could have been, so your fear, as stated in court, was MS-13 will kill you in El Salvador?
00:59:57.000So even if there was an error, even if we denied him a hearing we were supposed to give him, it's harmless error because the outcome's exactly the same.
01:00:23.000Yeah. Trump doesn't want to do that because then Trump's bending the knee to these federal courts that do not have...
01:00:28.000In fact, the authority to make him do this.
01:00:31.000In addition, they could then say he could do it for more down the road.
01:00:34.000I assume that that's part of the reason, because you're right, bringing him back and dealing with it that way would probably be more effective.
01:00:46.000My advice to the Trump administration, if you want to be evil, right?
01:00:48.000There's always a couple, I always, you know, whenever I tell people, when they say something like, what should we do about this circumstance?
01:00:54.000I always ask them, how evil do you want to be?
01:00:55.000Because if you want to be evil, there's really easy solutions to a lot of things, but being evil sucks, so don't do it.
01:01:00.000All that needs to happen is Naibu Kelly tell Abrego Garcia, we're going to take care of your family, we're going to pay you cash, and you are going to admit to being a member of MS-13, apologize, and refuse to return to the United States.
01:01:12.000Imagine what would happen if he did that.
01:01:14.000And that would be fine with me, because it's not something Trump is doing.
01:01:37.000I'm saying, if you're evil, you don't admit to doing that.
01:01:39.000All he has to say is, well, where did that $50,000 in your bank account come from, Pedro?
01:01:43.000No, but like, if the government of El Salvador wanted to be evil, there's not going to be a trace that can be detected in a meaningful way.
01:01:58.000And then he does, and then what do you do?
01:02:00.000What do Democrats say if, let's just say this.
01:02:03.000If Abrega Garcia went on TV, when I saw that picture of him meeting with Van Hollen, I was like, what if he just tells the guy right now, no, I actually am in the gang.
01:04:03.000Like, taught me their perspectives, and I realized it wasn't my, like, that's where a huge amount of my influence on legal versus illegal immigration, especially across our southern border, has come from, because I was, I was very liberal back then.
01:04:16.000And they were like, you don't understand what they're doing to these children, and me having grown up in a foster household.
01:04:21.000I was surrounded by children that were mercilessly abused by people.
01:04:24.000And to hear that that was happening through trafficking and through the coyotes and what was happening to these kids along the way really kind of traumatized me.
01:04:32.000And that's why Tom Homan is so energized about this.
01:04:35.000He's energized about this not out of hate for immigrants, but out of love for the children and the women who are being just horrifically destroyed in this process.
01:04:43.000Let's jump to this story from the Dallas Morning News.
01:05:10.000Earlier Thursday, the parents of Carmelo Anthony, a 17-year-old teenager who was facing a murder charge in connection with the stabbing, had spoken publicly about the case for the first time.
01:05:18.000Jeff Metcalf, Austin's father, was barred from attending the news conference.
01:05:22.000Y'all, this is getting absolutely insane.
01:05:25.000We did talk about this to a great degree earlier today on the Culture War podcast, but I don't know.
01:06:15.000Clearly, whoever did this is, I would imagine, the middle left.
01:06:20.000In alignment with all the other swattings we've seen of conservative personalities, the challenging thing with all the political violence we're seeing is it's hard to know whether or not...
01:06:31.000You can discern between politically motivated violence anymore and random acts because of the celebration of Luigi Mangione.
01:06:41.000Wait, are you trying to say that because of Luigi Mangione that this swatting event took place because it's been normalized?
01:07:06.000When entire online forums are dedicated to Luigi Mangione because they view him as, as Taylor Lorenz said, a morally good man who's handsome.
01:07:50.00020 swattings targeting conservative individuals in the past month and a half.
01:07:54.000Yeah, I was going to say there's a massive uptick.
01:07:56.000And this is related to, I would argue, the Magena effect, Teslas, and things like this.
01:08:01.000So when I see this, my point is, there's no discernible way to know if this would have been a one-off swatting incident because of the hotness of the issue, or if the increase in support for political violence is leading to calls like this.
01:08:16.000I'm just going to step way back, and I'm going to go way high up.
01:08:19.000Historically, every civilization in human history, when they reach a certain point of income and wealth inequality, begins to have a populace that will resort to levels of violence when they feel unheard by their by their legislatures, their Congress, their elected
01:08:35.000officials. That is historically happening in every single civilization in history.
01:08:39.000When you reach a point where there is a lack of hope among the population and.
01:09:56.000I think that the reason they're pushing on it so hard is because they're scared he's going to be the new Columbine and that will become the thing they do instead.
01:10:03.000And that's what we're seeing and that's the Mangione effect.
01:10:06.000That a swatting call like this would not have happened had the left not, over the past two months, past five months, been publicly and on social media advocating for murder, death, and violence.
01:10:16.000I don't see the connection with swatting and that.
01:10:19.000We had 20 swattings of conservatives already.
01:10:22.000Completely related to Elon Musk and Tesla.
01:10:25.000We had 20 swattings directly targeting conservatives, and now the cause celebration of conservatives just got swatted.
01:11:35.000There is a sort of political attention that this is getting.
01:11:39.000Nobody would swap this family if it wasn't in the news.
01:11:42.000Yes, but that doesn't mean that it's the Mangione effect or Luigi effect.
01:11:46.000It's only in the news for political reasons.
01:11:47.000Correct. Right, so if you swat 20 conservatives, and you know who those conservatives are, and that's why you swatted them, and they all tweet out in support of this family, and then the family gets swatted too, I think there is a possibility, a strong one, that this is a component of the left being emboldened in calls for violence and trying to escalate violence against their political enemies.
01:12:07.000The point I was making, it's not that it's a guarantee that's the case.
01:13:39.000It is people that have hope versus people that have none.
01:13:42.000But there is a very clear distinction between the right, Maybe saying, well, we all know healthcare systems are messed up, but overwhelmingly the Wright's view on this is randomly killing a guy fixed nothing, made everything worse,
01:15:31.000I'm saying that we are generationally split and I am seeing pretty healthy from both sides of the aisle that are not in favor of what he did.
01:15:39.000But they are in favor of someone doing anything that makes a difference and makes people pause.
01:15:52.000What I am saying is that inevitably, if people don't start expanding the conversation about the wealth inequality in our country and where the wealth is being held and how it is no longer being reinvested into the cities, the communities, if we don't do something about how much the working class of America,
01:16:11.000small businesses of America, the blue-collar class of America is exploited to make billionaires, which we spent the whole first half of the show talking about, we are going to see more and more violence.
01:16:21.000Now, I would push back on the notion that this hasn't made any difference.
01:16:25.000To you, it hasn't made any difference.
01:16:27.000To a conservative, it doesn't make any difference because nothing substantive has changed.
01:16:32.000But a lot of people, the difference is emotional for them.
01:16:35.000And now people are talking about this and paying attention to this and they feel like they're being heard.
01:16:42.000I would argue the left feels like he made a difference.
01:16:46.000Because he opened the door for them to accept political violence, which they largely now do.
01:16:51.000So there was that poll that came out recently that found, they polled, I think, what is it, like 2,000 people, and they found 55% of people who lean left support political violence.
01:17:01.000There was another poll from a year ago that found something like a majority of people left-aligned, be it liberal to left, were supportive of the assassination of political leaders, including Donald Trump.
01:17:13.000So what Mangione did didn't change the healthcare system.
01:17:59.000But the more that our politicians are serving CEOs and billionaires, the more we're parading billionaires and taking their money and serving their interests instead of our voters, the more that that has happened, the more that voters have to increasingly find ways to make themselves heard.
01:18:13.000And again, every civilization in human history where we reached this level of wealth inequality, political violence followed.
01:18:21.000Until there was a revolution and we went full guillotine down Wall Street.
01:18:25.000And that's what's going to happen if our politicians don't start listening to their voters.
01:18:29.000What do you mean, guillotines down Wall Street?
01:18:33.000Marie Antoinette may have gotten the guillotine in the French Revolution, but the next revolution that happens in our country, if we don't start listening to voters, is going to be on Wall Street.
01:18:41.000It's going to be for the billionaires.
01:18:43.000And I would push back on the right not engaging in political violence.
01:18:46.000It's not violence of a physical sort, like killing people, but I guarantee you the left feels right now that Trump is inflicting political violence on them.
01:19:31.000This seemingly unknown guy named Nicholas Decker posted this article, which now has 9.2 million views, with 14,000 responses and 5,300 retweets, saying, quote, when must we kill them?
01:19:46.000Where he wrote an essay that says, because of what Donald Trump is doing...
01:19:50.000The question must be asked among those who oppose Trump, when will they decide to physically murder him and everyone else?
01:19:57.000Well, the first thing I would say is, when must we kill them?
01:20:16.000I say, We're going to have an election, and we're going to win, and Trump's going to win the popular vote, and that will show that the people are awake, and we're going to do this right, and we did.
01:20:24.000The Democrats have now realized they're on the wrong side of history.
01:20:27.000For people like Bill Maher, what has he done?
01:20:36.000Oh, you know what, maybe Trump isn't a fascist.
01:20:38.000For these middle-of-the-road default libs, as soon as Trump won the popular vote, they said, uh-oh, I'm on the wrong side of history.
01:20:44.000But for the hardcore progressives, for the far left, there's no coming back from where they went.
01:20:49.000So they have no choice but to carry on, and that's why they write things like this.
01:20:55.000So again, this argument that he's making is quite literally the Mangione effect, now being written and shared far and wide by the left, advocating for, quote, evil has come to America, the president's administration has engaged in barbarism,
01:21:25.000Exactly. Imprisoning your political opponents like the Democrats did to Trump and his lawyers and the people who tried to help Donald Trump and his advisors.
01:21:33.000The thing is, the Trump supporters never did decide to go out and murder or kill anybody.
01:21:52.000So the right did not, even when they committed the worst violence from the right we've seen, and I'm going to clarify, the right is a fake term.
01:22:45.000But these academics call them both the right.
01:22:48.000Sovereign citizens who believe that they are free from government control are at the opposite end of the spectrum from neo-Nazis who believe the government should have full authority and control over people on a racial identity and authoritarian basis.
01:23:09.000None. I have literally gone all the way to the mat since I covered the assassination attempt in Butler on my live stream the day that it happened.
01:23:18.000And I have gone all the way to the mat and said that for anyone that feels like somebody missed or that the world could have been better had someone not missed, which I find to be vulgar and disgusting.
01:23:33.000Nobody... That feels that way has any idea how horrific it would have been for the fabric of our country.
01:23:40.000Nobody understands what would have happened to our country in the weeks, months, and years that followed that had anyone succeeded in assassinating one of our political candidates.
01:23:51.000And that political violence is never, ever, ever the answer.
01:23:57.000Well, we even had David Brooks in the New York Times today calling for an uprising against Trump and Trumpism.
01:24:06.000He said, what is happening now is not normal politics.
01:24:08.000We're seeing an assault on the fundamental institutions of our civic life, things we should all swear loyalty to, Democrat, Independent, or Republican.
01:24:16.000He's talking about Harvard, and he's talking about the NIH and USAID, all of these things that have completely lost.
01:24:21.000Didn't Barbara Baxter just call for taking to the streets, too?
01:24:38.000It won't stop and it's not going to stop.
01:24:40.000Which actually makes me want to push back on your Mangione effect because I feel like I've seen the same type of violent rhetoric of you need to rise up, you need to do these things.
01:24:48.000Before Trump was assassinated, because we were all saying that what led to Trump, well, not assassinated, but before Trump was shot, because once he was, we were saying, look at all the things that the people on the left, especially the Democratic nominee for president, has said, which has led to this political violence.
01:25:03.000So I don't think it's the Mangione effect.
01:25:57.000But by and large, the younger generations are more left, historically.
01:26:01.000Because when we, what did they say, under 30 and you've got a heart, you've got to be a liberal, over 30 and you've got a brain, you've got to be a conservative?
01:27:14.000Actually, I think I can just pull this up.
01:27:17.000That's definitely true, just judging from my family.
01:27:21.000My parents' generation, my father eventually became born again, but my parents' generation, they gave up religion entirely to the point where my great-grandmother, my Nona, she gave me her...
01:27:33.000rosary beads that were really precious to her that had been blessed by a
01:27:39.000Pope John Paul II, and she gave them to me.
01:27:41.000She was like, you're Catholic, you're the only one.
01:28:11.000The one thing that's really interesting is in the younger generation, men are overwhelmingly moving towards Jesus Christ.
01:28:17.000The question was, the percentage of U.S. adults by generation who say, I have made a personal commitment to follow Jesus that is still important in my life today.
01:28:27.000They need inspiration and guidance, and they're not getting it from their parents, and they're not getting it from college.
01:28:31.000And they're not getting it from the elites in Washington.
01:28:34.000They're not getting it from our elected officials.
01:28:36.000They're not getting it from anywhere else.
01:28:37.000So that makes perfect sense to me that they would turn towards the church.
01:29:59.000So when we're looking at this, we're talking about 21-year-olds who six years ago were atheists and now a 15% increase among men that are atheists.
01:30:16.000And when you look at millennials, their entire life has been a slew of bad stuff over and over and over again.
01:30:22.000They've survived so many, you know, once in a hundred year, once in a century, you know, catastrophic things that just keep happening one after another.
01:30:29.000Well, actually, what I find fascinating about that idea that millennials have is what's actually once in a century or longer is the golden age in the 90s.
01:30:37.000After the fall of the Soviet Union, we had, I mean, that was it.
01:30:42.000America was the unipolar dominant power.
01:36:03.000And then there was a deposition where you said you had a crack house?
01:36:07.000The deposition came up, and the whole investigation was whether or not the ticketing practices, the vehicle and traffic tickets in the city of Buffalo, in my proactive policing unit were discriminatory based on race.
01:36:22.000And they brought it up and they said, I'm there, I'm sworn in, I'm sitting at the stand.
01:36:27.000And they're like, you have a crack house.
01:37:04.000Concrete Haiti says, with AC in the house, Tim, I'll recommend getting Brandon Herrera, Fat Electrician, Habitual Line Crosser, Eli, Donut, Trout, etc.
01:37:24.000We've reached out to Donut, too, and I think it's just like, everybody's busy, especially if you're doing your own show, but Donut, you gotta come skate.
01:37:58.000I mean, Jimmy Carter pardoned all the Vietnam War draft dodgers, and Nixon got a broad pardon, and so it's never been tested, because we've never really had a reason to believe that it's possible that a pardon's been issued without the actual authority of the Article II executive branch president.
01:38:17.000What about universal injunctions, too?
01:38:20.000I have strong feelings about injunctions.
01:38:23.000Right. District courts have limited jurisdiction.
01:38:25.000They have limited geographic jurisdiction, limited subject matter jurisdiction, and they act like they have authority over the entire universe.
01:38:36.000Injunctions have the second highest standard in the legal profession or in the judicial branch because they're supposed to be narrow in scope and involve extreme specificity and you have to have all of the elements met.
01:38:48.000They're literally described as exceptional remedies.
01:39:50.000This universal injunction meant that if you were a paranoid, schizophrenic, paraplegic, you were allowed to enlist and they had to bring you in.
01:40:16.000If the judge was like some gritty, crazy, flat-top guy being like, anybody can join because you send them in and they detonate, would be very different from the woke female being like, it's so mean to not let them in.
01:41:24.000If you don't quit the flirting, I'm going to bring the Universal Court of Military Justice on you, the sexual harassment and rape prevention program.
01:41:30.000And if you continue to do this, I'm going to take your money.
01:41:33.000As in, the United States government is going to take your money because we're going to take your funds, your pay.
01:41:39.000And say, all right, $500 out of this paycheck because you don't want to follow the rules and negatively counsel you, which is well within my right and part of the sexual harassment program.
01:41:52.000But because I said that, made them do push-ups, and walked around them, numerous females were like, when we were doing push-ups, he walked behind us.
01:42:00.000And sometimes his legs straddled my legs.
01:42:05.000I'm literally walking over you to make sure that the ones that are faking doing push-ups and looking around, I call out for being fat and weak, and then you all stand up.
01:42:14.000And so after that, like, 10 or 15 minutes, that's what happened.
01:42:24.000So then, so someone came to you and told you to get out or what happened?
01:42:29.000So what happened was, and this investigation was put together very poorly, not just from a detective's point of view, but from a military member that has seen and been a part of these investigations looking at other things or seeing them from the side.
01:42:43.000What had happened was a number of troops had made a complaint, like one or two or three, right?
01:42:47.000And normally what happens, the right way, is that the first-line leader of the company finds out and they try to solve it.
01:42:52.000If they can't, they go to the battalion level, which is the next level up.
01:42:55.000And if they can't, they go to the third level, which is brigade.
01:42:58.000What happened was it went right to brigade and the brigade representative came down, had a group meeting with all the kids and says, who here feels like Drill Sergeant High said something mean to you?
01:43:30.000I wish your story was something different where they came down and said, which one of you feel that drill sergeant Hyde said something mean?
01:43:36.000And they raised their hand, get on the ground now!
01:44:30.000Well, I think, I'm hoping what I hear about Hegseth has been true and correct, and the moves he's making have been good.
01:44:38.000I had somebody reach out from Military Times, and they wanted to ask me about the Hegseth and what the military thinks of the Hegseth, and they tried to say the signal issue, which is an issue, but they tried to make it seem like it was larger than what it was, and said, we want your point of view.
01:44:54.000The meme is fear in the military, which is fairly large and a very good way of spreading information.
01:45:13.000And he sent me, like, three memes, one of which is from an account that likes Hegseth, but, you know, it's low-hanging fruit to pick on him for the signal thing.
01:45:21.000And, like, the other two examples were, like, accounts with, like, 1,500 followers.
01:45:28.000And I was like, well, I don't really see what you're saying, but I'll gladly listen to you.
01:45:32.000Well, that wasn't the answer he wanted.
01:45:36.000I'm hoping the woke stuff's getting pushed back.
01:45:39.000My question for you is, what do these women do?
01:45:42.000So I did Engineer OSET, which is one-station unit training.
01:45:46.000So Combat Arms does OSET, where basic training and their job training are together.
01:45:50.000They stay in the same barracks with the same drill sergeants the entire time they don't move, which is mainly Combat Arms.
01:45:56.000So as an engineer, like we'll go with Combat Engineers, your job is to remove obstacles and close distance with the enemy and kill them, and you're...
01:47:29.000After three weeks, four weeks at the most, they've kind of understood the hierarchy is we're in charge, and we will pick who's going to lead you, and then they will follow them because of my authority.
01:47:41.000I've heard that for women, when they start, they're very nice to each other, but by the end, they're catty and cliquish.
01:47:46.000Yes. Because for men, the hierarchy is explicit and desirable and a valuable trait for the women.
01:49:29.000It's going to be a force reset trigger.
01:49:30.000They're going to keep trying to make the laws.
01:49:33.000What are they going to end up trying to do?
01:49:35.000If more than three bullets leave the barrel within a certain amount of time, it's a machine gun now?
01:49:40.000Yeah, but you can't even do that because you've got speed shooters that are...
01:49:43.000Exceptional. How about they just abolish all of this BS?
01:49:48.000Actually, as a cop, how would you feel about that?
01:49:51.000Like, if they abolished NFA, all gun control, and people could have guns and, like, machine guns, do you have a concern about that as a cop?
01:52:11.000Michelle Heim says, I'm an abuse survivor, and I can tell you we can maintain contact when we have an order for protection because we are in fear of our lives due to threats still being made.
01:52:22.000I married my first husband because of it.
01:52:30.000So if there's children in place, then the orders of protection will specifically state that they are not allowed to have any negative contact with one another or sometimes zero contact with one another unless it is specifically for child care or some other things.
01:52:46.000And sometimes in heavier cases, it's a representative of the family justice system or family courts in New York would have to be there.
01:54:57.000Trump, when he went after USAID, I think if you look at all of Trump's actions, even with foreign policy, he's basically saying we will destroy the liberal economic order.
01:55:09.000I mean, that's why he's going after the universities, too.
01:55:11.000Right. And so, for those who are not familiar, simple version, after World War II, a bunch of world leaders got together and said, let's create a conspiracy to control world affairs using international banking.
01:55:24.000So, the NGOs are a process of that, the funding of NGOs, the lawyers who work in and around D.C., the International Monetary Fund, the Bank of International Settlements, the Swift Payment System, all of this is...
01:55:35.000We're going to control you through debt and financing.
01:55:38.000And all these independent agencies that have no legitimacy under our constitutional order, including the Federal Reserve, including the CIA, they're answerable to nobody.
01:55:47.000Our founders didn't create an Article IV branch of government called independent agencies.
01:55:52.000And I want to just make sure this is available to all of our listeners.
01:55:54.000This is the website called education.cfr.org.
01:55:57.000This is the Council on Foreign Relations.
01:56:00.000And this is the NGO breaking down for you.
01:56:05.000Explore the organizations and agreements that have promoted global peace and prosperity since the end of World War II, as well as the challenges that the liberal world order now faces in this video.
01:56:13.000In the, I believe it was the late 80s, early 90s, George.
01:56:18.000We can now begin to see a new world order forming, which birthed the phrase new world order.
01:56:26.000The media then claimed it was a conspiracy to say that there were powerful world leaders seeking to control the globe.
01:56:34.000What George H.W. Bush was saying was quite literally, this has existed since the 50s.
01:56:39.000It exists today, and it's becoming something different.
01:58:03.000Reese Mendocino says, Tiffany has a point.
01:58:07.000As a young person, I am watching every day how young men are becoming more and more upset and just want to set the world on fire.
01:58:15.000Yeah. Indeed, but I would say the statistics bear out that more and more young men are becoming Christians, which is, I don't think there are a lot of Christians that are simultaneously also wanting to destroy everything.
01:58:26.000I think there's probably two distinct reactions.
01:58:28.000But I would say, I understand what you're saying, and I agree that a lot of young people are becoming upset, but I don't think it's the majority.
01:58:35.000They don't want to destroy everything.
01:59:02.000And we can't replace them in the population because they can't afford to get married or have kids.
01:59:06.000It's going to make it worse and worse.
01:59:08.000At the same time, with as much wealth consolidation as we have, all that wealth consolidation, if you have a billion dollars, how much are you spending a week?
02:01:23.000But the interest of the money you're generating, the money is created upon issuance of debt, meaning that the banks are making money instantly.
02:01:31.000When rich people have money and they're the only ones that have it, the only things they really have to spend it on after a certain point is buying up more companies, which leads to more consolidation.
02:01:39.000I'm pretty sure I could spend about half a million dollars in about five hours on...
02:01:47.000Again, they're not doing it, and if they are doing it, they're not doing it where it can make a difference for the people that need it right now.
02:01:53.000When you see a big expense, it's like, I don't know, if you have 10 people in Vegas and you request private top-tier penthouse dining, and you're going to get a $300,000 bill, it's possible to do, right?
02:02:04.000But in normal day-to-day, buying the best of the best, buying the best clothes, even buying cars, it's like...
02:03:07.000You know, maybe depending on the size, if you want it.
02:03:10.000So most of the yachts are just consignment.
02:03:14.000I don't want to get bogged down in this one thing.
02:03:16.000I'm just saying if you're spending $300 million on a yacht and then the service yacht, which is another $140 million, and then you're servicing it with $30 million a month in international waters, wherever it's going.
02:03:28.000My point is they're not going to Iowa and spending it with a bunch of farmers.
02:03:32.000We need the working class to have money come back into the working class, and it's not.
02:03:37.000Well, so with like yacht service, like any other service, you're going to have ancillary services.
02:03:42.000You're going to have a guy who makes 20 bucks an hour cleaning.
02:03:45.000You're going to have a crew that serve food.
02:04:11.000Certainly, we hear about on TV the Kardashians and the lifestyle they have.
02:04:14.000But usually, luxury, as we perceive it, is fake luxury, intending to appear like it's for wealthy people.
02:04:23.000I can't help but wonder how much wealthier Americans will be if they're not competing for scarce resources like housing, jobs, healthcare, education.
02:04:36.000Indeed. I do want to say, you know, the important thing on wealth inequality is the two key issues are—the most important is the perception, not the function.
02:04:48.000If poor people feel that there are people who live better than them, whether it's true or not, is when you get revolt.
02:04:54.000And the real concern with wealth inequality is power consolidation, not luxury.
02:05:03.000The idea that a billionaire has Elon Musk $400 billion or whatever literally means nothing.
02:05:13.000Even if he had $400 billion in the bank in cash, meaningless.
02:05:17.000The worst thing in the world would be if he dumped that into the market because it would cause hyperinflation overnight, and that's a bad thing.
02:05:22.000The real issue is that the wealth inequality creates a group of people with power over laws and regulations, and it consolidates power in that regard.
02:05:32.000Among the general people, wealth inequality functionally means nothing.
02:05:36.000The buying power of the dollar is based upon the economy, which is the people's willingness to buy and trade with each other.
02:05:44.000If Elon Musk had $500 billion in cash in the bank and he doesn't spend it, nothing happens.
02:05:51.000The guy still is going to spend money with his bakery.
02:05:54.000The rate of exchange is based on the amount of goods being produced, the amount of services being rendered for their production, and you can fall into a depression even if there's a factory ready to work, there's a farm with food, the economy stops.
02:06:09.000It's basically a function of can people exchange with each other in a well-willed machine.
02:06:13.000A billionaire having money doesn't change or have any effect on that.
02:06:16.000If the billionaire dumps his money in Iowa and just starts giving out millions of dollars, it will create massive waves which can lead to hyperinflation and destabilize.
02:06:25.000I agree with everything you said almost on the second part, but where you said revolt happens when people perceive people to have a better situation than them.
02:06:33.000No, revolt happens when no matter how hard people work, they have no way to achieve a basic standard of living, which is where we are right now.
02:07:30.000We're talking about nations that end up in civil war and revolt, where you've got a singular class of millionaires and billionaires that own everything.
02:10:44.000Six. We're getting some interest from corporations.
02:10:48.000Younger generations aren't going to buy them, and the prices are going to get slashed because the corporations will know, I don't have to pay 1.2 for this.
02:10:56.000Gen Z, who's now in their 40s, can only afford a $300,000 house.
02:11:00.000So if it's selling for 1.2, I can let it fall to 3, and then I can offer 3.25 and buy it out from the Gen Z guy.
02:11:08.000Boomers are trading in properties based upon the wealth they hold.
02:11:12.000But the wealth they hold is largely in real estate and corporate equities.
02:11:15.000When they die, and those corporate equities and assets are transferred to millennials, the wealth of these is based on the perception that someone will be willing to pay for it and the offers will exist.
02:11:25.000But because millennials and Gen Z can't afford to buy it, no one's going to put an offer on these properties, and they're going to have to keep dropping the value of them until they can find someone who actually has the cash to buy it.
02:11:34.000That's something that was happening with homes in golf course communities.
02:11:38.000I was going to ask about Canada because I know that Canada's housing market is a train wreck.
02:11:44.000Right now, with the current trajectory of private equity and real estate investment trust acquisition of houses in major metropolitan areas, in areas like Atlanta over the last three years they were acquiring as much as 44% of all inventory.
02:11:58.000Systematically, it's between 11% and 15% throughout the United States.
02:12:02.000But if their current acquisition trajectory continues, by 2032, they could own as much as 61% of all of the homes in some metropolitan areas if they keep acquiring at this, and almost everywhere by 2040.
02:12:15.000Do you think that's going to push people out of the cities and back into suburbia?
02:12:18.000No, they're going to buy it everywhere.
02:12:19.000The point is they're creating a renting class.
02:14:14.000Behind Tiffany, the Trump map that was designed by my colleague and friend Jack Posobiec, and you could pick up your own copy at thetrumpmap.com.
