Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Trump Admin Hints At CRIMINAL CHARGES For Fauci In BOMBSHELL Report w-Angry Cops | Timcast IRL

00:02:28.000 The White House has repurposed COVID.gov into the origins of the lab leak.

00:02:34.000 Now, that alone is what's being reported.

00:02:36.000 But 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.

00:02:52.000 The first half of this report largely just talks about things.

00:02:57.000 Fauci lied about and then abruptly shows the pardon of Fauci from Joe Biden, which, of course, Donald Trump has said was void already.

00:03:07.000 Interesting. We'll go through this.

00:03:09.000 Maybe I'm wrong, but we will.

00:03:10.000 Then we've got the story that won't go away.

00:03:13.000 Abrego Garcia.

00:03:14.000 Many of you may have seen that that Democrat senator went down to go meet with him.

00:03:17.000 And I I got to say, it's largely backfiring.

00:03:20.000 More than half the country wants all illegal immigrants deported.

00:03:23.000 Even Newsweek pointed out that.

00:03:26.000 Fifty-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.

00:03:34.000 So when Democrats go down there and they dedicate everything to defending an MS-13 gang member, it doesn't help.

00:03:40.000 It just makes things worse.

00:03:42.000 Interestingly, in one of these stories, his wife on TV goes dead silent when asked about how he beat her mercilessly.

00:03:49.000 And in a photograph, she covered up what appears to be his gang tattoos.

00:03:52.000 We got a lot to talk about.

00:03:54.000 Cash Patel and Dan Bongino announced they arrested a guy who was terrorizing Tesla dealerships.

00:03:59.000 And you've got a guy from the New York Times calling for an uprising against Donald Trump.

00:04:02.000 It is getting weird out there.

00:04:04.000 But before we get started, my friends, we've got some great sponsors for you tonight.

00:05:26.000 Who are you?

00:05:27.000 I'm just a random guy from the internet that you brought along to be a smartass and here I am to do that.

00:05:31.000 He was making jokes and I was like, let's just tell him to sit in a chair. 0.99

00:05:33.000 Yeah, just have me sit in a chair and say stupid things around smart people. 1.00

00:05:36.000 That's pretty much my job. 1.00

00:05:37.000 Surrounded by smart people and I say dumb things that make them want to keep me around.

00:05:40.000 What if you're in court though?

00:05:42.000 I still do that.

00:05:43.000 I just get a look from the prosecution.

00:05:46.000 So you are an angry cop yourself?

00:05:47.000 I'm an angry cop myself.

00:05:48.000 I'm a detective out of the city of Buffalo in our special victims unit, and I'm a reserve U.S. Army drill sergeant.

00:05:54.000 Wow, so you're doing it all.

00:05:55.000 And YouTuber.

00:05:57.000 I don't like to brag, but I am really cool.

00:06:00.000 Tiffany's back.

00:06:01.000 What's going on?

00:06:02.000 I'm just excited to be here again, guys.

00:06:18.000 Of course, Andrew Bronco is here as well.

00:06:20.000 Yes, I'm an attorney and a member of the Supreme Court Bar whose expertise is use of force law.

00:06:26.000 I have a wonderful book I give away for free, How to Be Hard to Convict.

00:06:37.000 And I have a wonderful YouTube channel as well, Law of Self-Defense.

00:06:40.000 And Libby's here.

00:06:41.000 I'm Libby Emmons.

00:06:42.000 I'm here.

00:06:43.000 Glad to be with everybody.

00:06:44.000 I'm with the Postmillennial, and we can get started.

00:06:46.000 Here we go, ladies and gentlemen, from the White House itself.

00:06:50.000 Look at this.

00:06:51.000 Whitehouse.gov.

00:06:52.000 Lab leak true origins of COVID-19.

00:06:55.000 And right here is this interesting photo of Fauci touching his forehead, where it shows the grant of clemency from Joseph R. Biden.

00:07:01.000 And it says a full and unconditional pardon for any offenses against the United States, which he may have committed or taken pardon.

00:07:09.000 From January 1st, 2014.

00:07:11.000 Now the reason that's interesting is that this is the repurposed COVID.gov, which highlights the lab leak origins.

00:07:19.000 It goes on to basically say, here are the origins, here's the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the wet market.

00:07:24.000 But 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.

00:07:35.000 It even says, a lab-related incident involving gain-of-function research is the most likely origin.

00:07:40.000 They mention the NIH failures.

00:07:43.000 They then show Fauci's pardon, and then they go to show obstruction, lying.

00:07:49.000 They mention New York obstruction.

00:07:51.000 They mention how they say mask mandates.

00:07:53.000 There was no evidence.

00:07:54.000 There was no evidence for lockdowns or social distancing.

00:07:58.000 My view of this, the only reason you do this is that you are prepping the public for some kind of enforcement action.

00:08:05.000 They don't need to repurpose it and create an entire, I mean, they designed, this has got code and graphics and everything.

00:08:11.000 They want public perception on this issue.

00:08:14.000 They showed Donald Trump.

00:08:15.000 Now, 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.

00:08:22.000 I mean, Fauci was working in the Trump administration.

00:08:25.000 That being said, the rumor is, come summertime, we will see some kind of arrests.

00:08:31.000 I don't know if you guys agree with that or believe we'll see anything like that, but what do you think?

00:08:35.000 One thing I'll mention, of course, is a pardon does not protect you from civil action.

00:08:39.000 There's no reason the federal government can't be suing this guy for fraud, malfeasance, and all the...

00:08:44.000 Probably trillions of dollars of damages he caused to the American people.

00:08:48.000 The other thing is the pardon power, of course, is a core and plenary power of the Article II executive branch, the president.

00:08:55.000 The only branch of government where the entire authority, the executive authority, is endowed on one single individual.

00:09:02.000 The pardon's only legitimate if it's backed by that single individual's will.

00:09:07.000 They chose to do that.

00:09:09.000 If I do a pardon, it doesn't count.

00:09:11.000 If you do a pardon, it doesn't count.

00:09:13.000 But we don't know for a fact that Joe Biden willed this pardon because it was done by an auto pen.

00:09:20.000 And there's no other evidence to suggest he even knew this pardon was being issued.

00:09:26.000 And if it wasn't by his will, it has no more authority than if I issued it or Tim issued it.

00:09:31.000 There's also that super sketchy video where they asked him about the pardons and he said he had no idea what they were talking about.

00:09:35.000 Really? Yeah, there's like this, it's very off the cuff.

00:09:38.000 It was like when they were asking him questions as he was walking by and they were trying not to let reporters talk to him.

00:09:42.000 He said, I don't know what you're talking about.

00:09:44.000 He did not sign those pardons.

00:09:46.000 If you, I mean, he didn't sign, I mean, we don't have a wet signature on almost anything.

00:09:50.000 By the way, if they used an auto pen and he says, yes, I authorize the auto pen, that's legit.

00:09:57.000 He doesn't have to sign it personally.

00:09:58.000 The problem is we don't have that connection between his will and the use of the auto pen.

00:10:03.000 And we know it was being accessed by a variety of people.

00:10:06.000 You just mentioned what immediately I went to, which is that a pardon doesn't protect you from anything civil.

00:10:12.000 And I would not think it out of the realm of possibility given...

00:10:17.000 Robert 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.

00:10:28.000 I would not be shocked if they started posting documents here that could help the civil cases to start.

00:10:35.000 That would not shock me.

00:10:36.000 Reminding people, Anthony Fauci was the highest paid government official for many, many, many years.

00:10:43.000 More than the president, more than anybody else in government.

00:10:46.000 He's getting a huge amount in retirement now too, right?

00:10:48.000 He had $3.5 million in the first year.

00:10:51.000 Retired? Retired.

00:10:53.000 But they said that some of that money overlapped while he was still working and he wasn't supposed to.

00:10:57.000 There was just an article...

00:10:59.000 There 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.

00:11:08.000 It sounds like gain-of-pension research.

00:11:11.000 That's clever.

00:11:12.000 Well, he lied to Congress.

00:11:14.000 I would say now, with the White House asserting they were doing gain-of-function research, I mean, we've got contradictory statements from Fauci.

00:11:23.000 In court saying outright, we did not do this.

00:11:26.000 Yeah, he was very clear on that.

00:11:27.000 He was very clear that they weren't doing gain-of-function research.

00:11:30.000 And also, he was doubling down on all of these mandates and requirements, the six-foot thing, the mask thing.

00:11:36.000 And then when books started coming out, what was it?

00:11:39.000 Dr. 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.

00:11:48.000 It's like it's just always been six foot, so we never really questioned it.

00:11:51.000 Half a horse length.

00:11:52.000 Right. I mean, I guess there's that thing where you, like, bury bodies six feet underground so that bacteria doesn't come up.

00:11:58.000 But, like, between people, that's not really the same kind of thing.

00:12:01.000 One of my favorite things was the double masking, which I literally—you watch it emerge in the media.

00:12:08.000 First, someone randomly and arbitrarily asked Dr. Fauci, if a mask protects you, wouldn't two masks be better?

00:12:14.000 And he shrugged it off like, I don't know.

00:12:17.000 And then the media started running with, two masks are better.

00:12:20.000 And then once it got reported that two masks were better, Fauci just agreed with it.

00:12:23.000 And he started wearing two masks.

00:12:25.000 My favorite mask, though, had to have been Alyssa Milano's Alyssa Milano's crocheted mask.

00:12:30.000 That 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!

00:12:39.000 And everyone was like, you realize there's holes in it.

00:12:42.000 Because she's secretly based.

00:12:43.000 She's letting it slide. 1.00

00:12:45.000 Not so secretly an idiot. 1.00

00:12:46.000 The truth is there are holes in all masks of varying sizes and that just showed they didn't actually care if they worked or not. 1.00

00:12:53.000 It was just put something on your face.

00:12:55.000 No! One of the things that was really hard, like I ran a small business that was shut down by my county for 17 months.

00:13:01.000 And I owned a gymnastics business for kids, and we had to repurpose our business.

00:13:06.000 We were going to lose everything.

00:13:07.000 We did lose everything.

00:13:08.000 Did you bend over backwards to keep it open?

00:13:10.000 We weren't allowed.

00:13:11.000 We were fully shuttered.

00:13:12.000 Larry Hogan actually, his wife's family has investments in...

00:13:17.000 Martial arts.

00:13:18.000 So they were given the only exception in our state.

00:13:20.000 All other sports, all recreation was closed down.

00:13:22.000 Is that what propelled you into being a small business advocate?

00:13:25.000 Part of it, yeah.

00:13:25.000 Yeah, that's a big part of it.

00:13:27.000 And 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.

00:13:33.000 And during that time frame, we had to go to being a virtual school.

00:13:37.000 So we went from being a gymnastics facility to a virtual school where kids would bring their laptops in.

00:13:41.000 And we were only allowed to have 18 of them.

00:13:43.000 And no matter what their ages were, we had to put siblings in the same pod, which was so unsafe.

00:13:48.000 We had 3-year-olds alongside 11- and 12-year-olds.

00:13:51.000 And when they had to go to play in the gym, they had to be together.

00:13:54.000 Not safe.

00:13:55.000 My insurance hated it, right?

00:13:56.000 When they had to go to art class, they were together, but they weren't anywhere near the same skill set.

00:13:59.000 And 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.

00:14:06.000 And they would come over and ask, do you have a brother or sister here?

00:14:09.000 We had to let them.

00:14:11.000 Like 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.

00:14:18.000 Our kids suffered.

00:14:20.000 And all these small businesses suffered.

00:14:22.000 That's another Fauci thing is all of the kids suffered across the entire country.

00:14:25.000 All the kids suffered.

00:14:26.000 It's tragic.

00:14:26.000 Who were in schools with masking and everything else.

00:14:29.000 And there was no real evidence to suggest.

00:14:31.000 And this came up repeatedly.

00:14:32.000 There was no real evidence to suggest that kids were vectors of this illness at all.

00:14:36.000 I think that, you know.

00:14:41.000 previous 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

00:14:56.000 pardons but it's happened twice one george w bush revoked a pardon that he had given himself ah okay

00:15:03.000 And that was different, and he revoked that pardon, and I believe Ulysses S. Grant revoked a pardon.

00:15:09.000 And in both cases, these pardons were revoked before the pardonee had received the pardon.

00:15:15.000 So that ended up being the determining factor that pardons were eligible for revocation.

00:15:20.000 Under 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.

00:15:29.000 Isaac Toosey?

00:15:30.000 Was that the story?

00:15:32.000 The 2008 George W. Bush was granting a pardon to a man named Isaac Toosey, but then revoked it the next day.

00:15:42.000 Yeah, I don't think one president can revoke another president's pardon if the pardon was given with authority, if it's legitimate.

00:15:49.000 If he actually knew it was happening and it wasn't somebody just stuck it in the machine and walked it out.

00:15:54.000 Yeah, but then how do you prove that?

00:15:56.000 I mean, that's the thing, right?

00:15:57.000 How do you prove that?

00:15:58.000 You 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. 0.98

00:16:05.000 Especially when it's one that's mentally retarded. 1.00

00:16:07.000 Well, and then the issue comes up, I think, the auto-pen thing. 0.99

00:16:10.000 Say infirm.

00:16:11.000 Geriatically infirm.

00:16:13.000 Infirmed. I think the auto pen thing is interesting.

00:16:16.000 I 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.

00:16:29.000 That was very specific.

00:16:30.000 Or they just leave it political.

00:16:31.000 They don't try to make it actionable.

00:16:33.000 They don't try to actually get rid of this pardon.

00:16:35.000 But they just make the whole world know that, hey, the Democrats had a guy in office for four years who was not mentally competent.

00:16:41.000 This is a problem that is much...

00:16:42.000 I mean, obviously, when it's the president, this is a huge problem.

00:16:45.000 But this is just like, I mean, a direct connection to when they had Dianne Feinstein literally on death's door, wheeled down to vote.

00:16:54.000 And she's and they're saying, say, I. And she goes, I what, dear?

00:16:57.000 And they're like, say, I. And she goes, I would like to.

00:17:00.000 And they're like, say, I. And she couldn't.

00:17:02.000 And then the aide reaches across and goes, I. And they counted her vote.

00:17:05.000 She didn't know what she was voting on.

00:17:07.000 Or there was the woman in Texas over the summer, the lawmaker who was in a old folks home. 1.00

00:17:11.000 In the dementia ward, yes!

00:17:15.000 This is a problem.

00:17:16.000 You see how Trump signs his executive orders like those first couple days in office?

00:17:20.000 The giant stack of them, right?

00:17:22.000 He signs them on camera, in person, with a big pen.

00:17:26.000 He loves the ceremony.

00:17:27.000 I bet he does that because he's well aware that...

00:17:30.000 They've always been making claims about his mental competence, right?

00:17:33.000 Unsupported by any evidence.

00:17:34.000 But if he was just auto-penning these executive orders, you don't think they would attack them as not being legitimate?

00:17:40.000 He also has staff read out what they are so that everyone hears what they are and he acknowledges what each one is and then he signs it.

00:17:47.000 I think that's actually really smart.

00:17:49.000 The other thing that I think...

00:17:50.000 I don't know what you guys think of this, but it says in this COVID thing...

00:17:54.000 Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans.

00:17:58.000 This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.

00:18:02.000 That, I think, is extremely damning.

00:18:04.000 And 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.

00:18:14.000 Except for Jon Stewart because he was one of them.

00:18:16.000 Well, that was really funny how Colbert was going like, when Jon Stewart was like, it's the lab, it's the lab.

00:18:22.000 Yep. Stephen Colbert was dancing around with the people in vaccine costumes.

00:18:27.000 And the funny thing is, that's the only one most people cite, but you know he did that several times.

00:18:30.000 Really? The vaccine was an ongoing segment he did with a bunch of different weird shenanigans where syringes were dancing around.

00:18:39.000 Everyone likes to cite that one where they're on stage doing the stupid dance. 0.99

00:18:43.000 He's got a bunch of them. 1.00

00:18:44.000 Not just the one.

00:18:45.000 Are they equally funny?

00:18:47.000 What's that?

00:18:48.000 Are they all equally as funny?

00:18:50.000 They're funny to us.

00:18:51.000 And, you know, at some point he's going to argue the intent was to be funny, so he succeeded.

00:18:56.000 He's like, joke's on you. 0.79

00:18:57.000 I was only pretending to be retarded. 0.81

00:18:58.000 And we're going to be like, oh, good. 0.99

00:19:00.000 Mentally infirm.

00:19:01.000 Mentally infirm.

00:19:02.000 We have to understand that our children, one of the things that's been really hard looking back on COVID for me is I teach kids.

00:19:08.000 I teach a lot of special needs kids.

00:19:09.000 I teach children.

00:19:11.000 And in our county, all of our test scores tanked.

00:19:15.000 My kids' school went from a 9.5 out of 10 to a 4 out of 10 in that two-year span of their testing.

00:19:21.000 Most of the kids are now reading three grade levels below when they were at level at the time that the pandemic began.

00:19:28.000 But one of the things that has been striking is that what...

00:19:31.000 What 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?

00:19:43.000 But it is a very big deal if you need them to creatively problem solve or innovate.

00:19:47.000 We have literally stunted the ability to innovate because they don't have.

00:19:51.000 We taught them everything was real.

00:19:53.000 Everything. We taught kids that if you touch your friend, you could die.

00:19:56.000 And if you don't scrub your hands, you could get sick.

00:19:59.000 And you could make your grandma die.

00:20:00.000 And 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.

00:20:09.000 But it will be long-term, like, it's going to be catastrophic.

00:20:13.000 So 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.

00:20:23.000 And 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.

00:20:35.000 And some people instantly said, BS, there are kids that are one or two that are showing autism symptoms.

00:20:41.000 So I want to clarify this, but I do think it's important to talk about.

00:20:46.000 We're seeing a massive uptick in...

00:20:49.000 In autism diagnoses now among very young people, children, you know, over the past 10 years.

00:20:56.000 And 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.

00:21:06.000 And so the idea is basically this.

00:21:08.000 A kid is one and cries.

00:21:12.000 How do humans handle that?

00:21:13.000 The human talks to the kid.

00:21:15.000 Yeah, don't shake your babies. 1.00

00:21:19.000 That's coming from a cop who said that.

00:21:20.000 I don't know what you're talking about.

00:21:21.000 But we largely will talk to the kid, right?

00:21:24.000 So I have a new baby, baby cries, and my wife is saying, like, what do you want?

00:21:27.000 I just fed you, and interacting in a normal human way.

00:21:31.000 Parents now put a tablet in front of the kid or the baby and press play.

00:21:35.000 That is not a normal social interaction.

00:21:37.000 So 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.

00:21:49.000 What do you get?

00:21:50.000 A child that is dissociative, antisocial.

00:21:54.000 That may be similar to autism symptoms that is being diagnosed as it, but it could be technology causing this.

00:22:00.000 And during COVID, we had kids looking at screens for the full day, for like six hours a day.

00:22:07.000 And that's all they had.

00:22:08.000 The other thing, you were mentioning, you know...

00:22:11.000 What was going on during COVID with education.

00:22:14.000 And the other thing we taught our kids during that time is that education doesn't matter.

00:22:19.000 Right? So it's very hard to pull kids back and say, now it matters what your grades are.

00:22:24.000 Now 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.

00:22:35.000 So 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.

00:22:45.000 And 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.

00:22:56.000 And you used the word stunted for this mental, cognitive, and emotional development.

00:23:01.000 Yes. And not only might that be possible, it literally has to be possible.

00:23:05.000 It has to be.

00:23:05.000 It has to have happened.

00:23:06.000 Because 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.

00:23:14.000 And they would never get that growth back.

00:23:16.000 You can't get it back.

00:23:17.000 We all know we learn things best at certain ages.

00:23:21.000 And once you've lost that opportunity, you can't teach someone how to read or think or relate in the same way ever again.

00:23:28.000 It's gone forever.

00:23:30.000 I 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...

00:23:48.000 One to two, all the way up through like eight.

00:23:51.000 And so I built this Imagination Play Center.

00:23:53.000 They can pretend to be a police officer.

00:23:54.000 They can pretend to be a camper.

00:23:55.000 They can pretend to be at a grocery store or whatever, right?

00:23:58.000 I wanted to give that back to my community because everything went out of business during COVID.

00:24:01.000 We lost 37 children's businesses in my small town during COVID.

00:24:05.000 We were one of the only ones that survived.

00:24:06.000 So I built it and we built it for eight and under thinking that was the age I could still impact.

00:24:11.000 I actually thought that was the only age we could help.

00:24:13.000 So we said eight and under when we opened.

00:24:16.000 Then, the first week, my daughter, who's 12, had all her little friends roaming the mall because it's in a shopping mall.

00:24:21.000 They 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?

00:24:27.000 And I'm like, yeah, but you guys are kind of old, and you know my tech rule.

00:24:29.000 It's no tech in here, so your friends will have to hand over their cell phones.

00:24:32.000 She says, that's okay.

00:24:33.000 These 12- and 13-year-olds come in.

00:24:35.000 They give me all their cell phones, and like nine of them go into my little doctor's office, my little bakery, my little grocery store.

00:24:42.000 They spend about one minute afraid someone's going to make fun of them.

00:24:45.000 And then they spent the next six hours just pretending.

00:24:47.000 And I asked them at the end to come sit with me and tell me what they thought, why it was fun.

00:24:51.000 And they said they stole this from us.

00:24:53.000 We didn't have any of this.

00:24:54.000 Like, I want to do this.

00:24:55.000 This was fun.

00:24:56.000 We never got to do this.

00:24:57.000 This age group that was supposed to be learning to use their imaginations and develop innovation and flourish, we denied that to them.

00:25:05.000 And this is not, in my opinion, a partisan issue.

00:25:08.000 Every parent in America knows what we did in this regard.

00:25:11.000 This is not a partisan issue.

00:25:12.000 I see it everywhere.

00:25:14.000 I see it with every age of kid from like 14 on down.

00:25:18.000 I see the high schoolers in a different way were stunted socially.

00:25:21.000 There's a lot more anxiety, right?

00:25:23.000 We see these problems.

00:25:24.000 But 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.

00:25:35.000 And as a country, we will pay for that.

00:25:37.000 We will pay for that.

00:25:38.000 If space aliens had come to Earth and done this to us, we would consider it an act of war and eradicate them from the universe.

00:25:45.000 But we're supposed to pretend it's okay because our own government officials did it.

00:25:50.000 Well, Trump started it.

00:25:53.000 And I will give credit to the Republican states that started to back away from it.

00:25:56.000 But 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.

00:26:08.000 It's why a lot of libertarians didn't like Trump.

00:26:10.000 Because he was the boss, and he let Fauci and Birx kind of just do their thing.

00:26:14.000 But it was impossible.

00:26:16.000 There was like a giant train running away down the rails downhill.

00:26:19.000 There was no way President Trump would have been able to stop that and survive politically.

00:26:23.000 I don't give the excuse.

00:26:24.000 I don't wave it.

00:26:25.000 He also trusted institutions, right?

00:26:27.000 I mean, Trump's full hatred of institutions didn't come until after they...

00:26:32.000 Tried to destroy him fully.

00:26:34.000 So I think that's part of it as well.

00:26:36.000 I'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.

00:26:43.000 That was going to be my point.

00:26:44.000 If they want to go after Trump for what he did, how could you not then go after Biden?

00:26:48.000 You have to go after both.

00:26:49.000 They both shut down.

00:26:51.000 We 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.

00:27:01.000 The backbone of our economy, we created 551 new billionaires.

00:27:05.000 And ask how much money Google made off of all of the Chromebooks they sold that our government subsidized.

00:27:10.000 Ask how much they chose the winners and losers of our economy.

00:27:14.000 And these podcasters.

00:27:17.000 I'll tell you, you gotta watch out for those guys.

00:27:19.000 They made a lot of money.

00:27:21.000 Don'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?

00:27:29.000 It feels like they stepped up and made us reliant on everything.

00:27:32.000 Yeah, that was their whole point.

00:27:33.000 And it was both parties.

00:27:34.000 This was not a one party.

00:27:35.000 This was a power thing.

00:27:36.000 This was not a party thing.

00:27:38.000 This was a power thing.

00:27:39.000 And when that party got there, they kept it.

00:27:42.000 To 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?

00:27:50.000 Go on.

00:27:51.000 And then they rioted and firebombed the White House grounds and St. John's Church, and they got away with it.

00:27:57.000 We didn't get any commissions.

00:27:58.000 We didn't get any hearings.

00:28:00.000 Another facet here, of course, is traditionally when we had high rates of employment growth, it came from small business.

00:28:06.000 It didn't come from big corporations.

00:28:07.000 We obliterated the small business.

00:28:09.000 We obliterated the source for those job growth.

00:28:11.000 When Biden wanted to increase job numbers, what did he do?

00:28:14.000 Every job he created was a government job.

00:28:16.000 That's why there's tens of thousands of people available.

00:28:19.000 They're still on probationary employees to be fired by Trump.

00:28:22.000 A lot of people don't know this, but I'm actually the public policy liaison for the American Small Business League.

00:28:27.000 And 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.

00:28:44.000 They destroy jobs while small businesses create them and cultivate them.

00:28:48.000 And in the same token...

00:28:49.000 Same statistic.

00:28:50.000 99.9% of all businesses in this country are small businesses.

00:28:53.000 But they're the ones that we sacrificed.

00:28:55.000 And we chose the billionaires that were paying the big lobbying dollars and they got to stay open.

00:29:00.000 Let's clarify.

00:29:02.000 Nobody chose that.

00:29:03.000 They stole it from us.

00:29:04.000 They stole it.

00:29:04.000 It was the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in the history of humanity.

00:29:10.000 Absolutely insane.

00:29:10.000 The 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.

00:29:25.000 Yeah. You could go to the Walmart, buy whatever you want.

00:29:27.000 You couldn't buy gardening stuff.

00:29:28.000 It made no sense.

00:29:29.000 Small business couldn't be open at all.

00:29:31.000 They created special exemptions only for the big box stores.

00:29:34.000 Yep. Here's what most people, I think most people understand, but for younger people.

00:29:39.000 If you own a restaurant and you're a famous burger joint, you got burgers and you got wings.

00:29:46.000 You're going to have $10,000 to $20,000 worth of food product at any given moment.

00:29:50.000 They say two weeks to slow the spread.

00:29:52.000 And Donald Trump did.

00:29:54.000 He's the one who started this.

00:29:55.000 That two weeks, your food is spoiled.

00:29:57.000 You just lost $20,000.

00:29:58.000 You can't sell it.

00:29:59.000 Now, with the Biden administration coming in, they did two years to slow the spread.

00:30:02.000 And your insurance, though, doesn't cover it because it's act of God.

00:30:04.000 So these guys couldn't make any insurance claims either on anything that happened.

00:30:08.000 Instantly. They should get that back because it was actually act of the NIH.

00:30:12.000 Yeah. Yeah.

00:30:13.000 But overnight.

00:30:14.000 There were tons of restaurants that lost $20,000 or $30,000 in product.

00:30:18.000 That money instantly evaporated.

00:30:19.000 So when they said, no, no, we're going to reopen.

00:30:21.000 Your business should be fine.

00:30:23.000 The owner said, I don't have $30,000 to buy the food to be able to serve anybody food.

00:30:28.000 Tim, first of all, the federal government absolutely knows how to run your business better than you do.

00:30:33.000 So how dare you?

00:30:34.000 You know, one of the things that happened, though, and this is a big boon for all of the big banks during this time, is that the SBI...

00:30:40.000 SBA activated EIDL loans.

00:30:43.000 These are disaster relief loans for every state in America as long as your governor instituted a state of emergency.

00:30:49.000 And then suddenly, I was a debt-free business.

00:30:52.000 I had worked so hard to stay debt-free and build my business from the ground up.

00:30:57.000 And I was forced to take out a $250,000 loan to survive.

00:31:00.000 And they gave those loans to everyone.

00:31:03.000 But they were given by banks that then repackaged them and sold off that debt.

00:31:08.000 And let me tell you, that's sitting out there.

00:31:09.000 They're in a whole bunch of CLOs right now.

00:31:11.000 These 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.

00:31:20.000 There was so much fraud that happened during COVID.

00:31:23.000 And go to franchises, which I was a franchise.

00:31:26.000 Franchisors 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.

00:31:33.000 They were like, you will take out these loans and you will keep paying us while landlords and stuff were giving us.

00:31:38.000 And so the SBA turned in one money printing machine.

00:31:42.000 The banks were the ones that got to hand out all that cash, but it was guarantored by the government.

00:31:46.000 They knew that most of us weren't going to survive.

00:31:48.000 The government is now paying off all those loans because they guaranteed the loans.

00:31:52.000 There's a lot of people you'll see on the DOJ.

00:31:54.000 The DOJ is prosecuting people for COVID PPE loans and all that kind of stuff.

00:32:00.000 Yeah, that was a trap the whole time.

00:32:02.000 There's such a thing as free lunch.

00:32:04.000 And so when this was going on, I was being advised by my legal team.

00:32:09.000 They were like, hey, you should apply for these loans.

00:32:10.000 And I was like, why?

00:32:11.000 And they were like, well, the government's giving it to everybody to make sure they stay afloat.

00:32:14.000 And I was like, we don't need it.

00:32:15.000 And they're like, you really should take it.

00:32:16.000 I was like, we don't need it at all.

00:32:17.000 And they're like, I think it'd be smart.

00:32:20.000 I was like, why are you telling me to take money I don't want and don't need?

00:32:23.000 No. And they were like, okay.

00:32:25.000 I was creeped the F out.

00:32:27.000 Why were they telling you?

00:32:28.000 Did you ever figure that out?

00:32:30.000 Were they getting kickbacks or something?

00:32:31.000 No, I don't know.

00:32:32.000 The argument made was, like, everybody's hurting right now.

00:32:37.000 The money is available and it can be forgiven.

00:32:39.000 Use it to pay your staff.

00:32:40.000 And I was like...

00:32:41.000 My company's actually making money right now.

00:32:43.000 I am not touching PPE loans.

00:32:45.000 Goodbye. The lobbyists fought so hard.

00:32:48.000 There 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.

00:32:57.000 They made huge money, and I am guilty.

00:33:00.000 I had to take the PPP loans.

00:33:01.000 We were shut down for 17 months.

00:33:03.000 We were not surviving.

00:33:04.000 And I didn't get my first grant for a year.

00:33:06.000 I did get a grant.

00:33:08.000 Not 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.

00:33:16.000 My franchisor made me, so I had to take out a loan.

00:33:19.000 But we were debt-free businesses.

00:33:20.000 So many businesses were debt-free.

00:33:22.000 But you have a personal guarantee on your lease, so you've got to pay it.

00:33:26.000 You've got a personal guarantee, because small businesses don't get the benefit of LLC protection like big businesses do.

00:33:32.000 Let's jump to this next story from the Postmillennial.

00:33:34.000 Uh-oh.

00:33:35.000 Uh-oh.

00:33:36.000 Kilmar Obrego Garcia's wife covers up his MS-13 gang...

00:33:40.000 Well, I'm going to say this.

00:33:42.000 Covers the MS-13 gang tattoos on his hands.

00:33:44.000 Now, the title says covers his hand tattoos with hearts in social media posts.

00:33:48.000 However, Libby also recently just shared this.

00:33:52.000 Trump... Trump...

00:33:53.000 He's posted it.

00:33:54.000 This is MS-13.

00:33:55.000 Take a look.

00:33:56.000 This is where it gets really interesting.

00:33:58.000 First, here you can see in his hand what looks like a marijuana leaf, a smiley face, a cross, and a skull.

00:34:03.000 When his wife shared this photo, she covered his hand up with hearts because those tattoos are MS-13 gang tattoos.

00:34:10.000 Donald Trump has the image.

00:34:12.000 He says, In this image,

00:34:34.000 you 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?

00:34:42.000 How is the skull a 3?

00:34:44.000 Do we understand that?

00:34:45.000 Just the curve in the side of the skull would be like...

00:34:48.000 Makes a 3?

00:34:49.000 Yeah. Three holes, eyes and nose.

00:34:51.000 I think it's that if you just take off the left side that it creates...

00:34:54.000 A 3?

00:34:54.000 I don't know.

00:34:54.000 I think that's what they're...

00:34:55.000 So, I mean, marijuana smiley is MS and the cross is a 1. And they all did have tattoos like this on their hands.

00:35:01.000 Now, 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.

00:35:14.000 But, ladies and gentlemen, I can't believe we even have to have this conversation.

00:35:18.000 I know that every single person listening right now knows this already.

00:35:21.000 The guy was MS-13.

00:35:22.000 Well, the sting where he was arrested in 2019 outside of a Home Depot, that was part of an investigation into gang activity in the area.

00:35:32.000 He wasn't just picked up for loitering.

00:35:33.000 A Hispanic person was arrested outside of a Home Depot?

00:35:36.000 Three of them.

00:35:36.000 I don't believe you.

00:35:37.000 And didn't they say it was because they were looking for work?

00:35:41.000 Yeah, people have said that it was because they were looking for work.

00:35:44.000 But it was, I mean, the police arrested him because they were investigating gang activity in the area.

00:35:48.000 They were already under surveillance.

00:35:50.000 I mean, come on.

00:35:51.000 The 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?

00:36:02.000 He's got multiple sclerosis, he loves Jesus, and he'll go to the grave believing that.

00:36:07.000 I 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.

00:36:19.000 Racism. Have you encountered any stuff like this in your line of work?

00:36:23.000 No, the city of Buffalo has a majority of local gangs, so block gangs.

00:36:29.000 We've got Bailey Avenue, so you've got the Bailey Boys and stuff like that. 1.00

00:36:32.000 Bang them, fuck them, leave them. 1.00

00:36:35.000 But we do have old heads in the gang. 1.00

00:36:37.000 That's one of the gangs.

00:36:39.000 Old heads?

00:36:39.000 An old head is an older individual that's been in the gang life for a while.

00:36:44.000 So like 25 and older.

00:36:47.000 And we'll have...

00:36:48.000 That sounds like young.

00:36:50.000 That's a young person.

00:36:51.000 Gang life's hard life.

00:36:52.000 Yeah, it seems tough.

00:36:53.000 If you make it 25, you're old.

00:36:55.000 You've been in the game for a minute.

00:36:56.000 Because they'll start at like 15, 16. So by the time you get to 25, you've got half of your retirement in.

00:37:02.000 That's 10 years.

00:37:03.000 Yeah, wow.

00:37:03.000 So we'll have old heads that, like I said, are older people that have been in the streets for a while.

00:37:08.000 And they'll rep.

00:37:11.000 They'll be the OG for a block gang, but they'll be Bloods. 0.98

00:37:15.000 So 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. 0.61

00:37:25.000 They 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.

00:37:33.000 He's like the Godfather.

00:37:33.000 Like the Godfather, and a smaller aspect for just that portion of town.

00:37:37.000 The five boxes, the five families. 0.93

00:37:39.000 In Chicago, all the gangs are Catholic. 0.98

00:37:41.000 What's that?

00:37:42.000 Chicago, not all, but like most of the gangs are Catholic. 0.90

00:37:44.000 Is that like an old Irish-y type thing?

00:37:45.000 There's the popes, the bishops, the disciples.

00:37:48.000 I'm not kidding.

00:37:49.000 Seriously? Yes.

00:37:51.000 And I don't know if they're actually Catholic, but...

00:37:53.000 You know, my friends were always making that joke, like, what's next, the choir boys?

00:37:57.000 Like, why are they all, you know, Catholic? 0.99

00:37:58.000 The church loves violence. 0.95

00:37:59.000 It does.

00:38:00.000 And then there's different sects of each.

00:38:02.000 So there are different popes.

00:38:05.000 The popes are a gang, and there's a bunch of different ones.

00:38:07.000 And the bishops, and the Latin kings are obvious.

00:38:10.000 They're more national, and that's not so religious, but they are all largely Christian.

00:38:14.000 I do find that really interesting about the MS-13 with, like, the cross.

00:38:17.000 Like, these guys largely purport to be Christian, don't they?

00:38:21.000 They follow, or they pray to the weird saint, like the Saint de la Muerte or something like that.

00:38:26.000 It's like the saint of death, and it's this overseeing saint that understands criminals and works with criminals. 1.00

00:38:33.000 It's a load of horse shit. 1.00

00:38:34.000 It's like voodoo funky bullshit. 1.00

00:38:35.000 Someone says the skull in Spanish is craneo, which starts with C, the third letter in the alphabet. 0.99

00:38:41.000 Is that it?

00:38:42.000 Personally, I'd like to see Trump get FAFO tattoos on each of his hands.

00:38:47.000 That would be pretty cool if he showed up with that.

00:38:49.000 And by the way, a couple of issues here.

00:38:54.000 One is, the question of whether he's MS-13 has been answered.

00:38:57.000 So they talk all about the due process this guy was supposed to get.

00:39:00.000 He got every drop of due process he was entitled to.

00:39:03.000 And part of due process is also too much.

00:39:06.000 Part of due process is also finality of law.

00:39:10.000 A decision has been made.

00:39:11.000 It's over.

00:39:12.000 And this decision was made by two different courts in 2019.

00:39:16.000 An immigration judge, before which this guy appeared with a lawyer, had the opportunity to rebut this evidence that he was MS-13.

00:39:23.000 He failed to do that.

00:39:25.000 Then he appealed to an appellate board for the immigration.

00:39:29.000 And that judge also adjudicated him MS-13.

00:39:32.000 It's over.

00:39:33.000 We're not going back and asking the same question over and over again, endlessly.

00:39:37.000 What would...

00:39:39.000 I mean, what do Democrats expect to have happened?

00:39:41.000 Someone to like...

00:39:42.000 They want it to go away.

00:39:43.000 It's like a dead unicorn in the road, and they just want it to be alive again.

00:39:48.000 They just don't like the situation.

00:39:50.000 It's not to their satisfaction.

00:39:51.000 They want it changed.

00:39:53.000 I think what they really wanted was they wanted...

00:39:55.000 To bring 10 million people into the United States and keep them here forever. 1.00

00:39:59.000 That's why they had varying legal statuses for all of these people, refugees, asylum seekers, all this.

00:40:05.000 You're an attorney.

00:40:06.000 I have this question.

00:40:07.000 So I was doing a little digging into what could cause a person to get...

00:40:17.000 And so it's not what happened here.

00:40:19.000 That's not what happened here.

00:40:20.000 But it said that asylum seekers, if your case is dismissed or denied, then you are eligible for deportation.

00:40:28.000 Joe Biden in last June quietly dismissed 350,000 asylum seekers cases.

00:40:35.000 There are there's a backlog of about two million cases.

00:40:39.000 Could the Trump administration just dismiss all of these asylum cases?

00:40:43.000 Cases and then deport everybody who's on that backlog?

00:40:46.000 Well, what they could do is they...

00:40:48.000 Everybody's entitled to due process.

00:40:50.000 Even these guys.

00:40:51.000 Even the TDA guys under the Alien Enemies Act are entitled to due process.

00:40:55.000 But what due process means is not the same for everybody.

00:40:58.000 The due process I'm entitled to as an American citizen before I can be deported from the country is very, very high.

00:41:05.000 The 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. 0.99

00:41:14.000 That's why we have immigration courts. 0.99

00:41:16.000 Congress said, we don't want these immigration cases going through our federal district trial courts.

00:41:22.000 We don't want that.

00:41:23.000 It just blocks up the whole system.

00:41:24.000 We're going to take that jurisdiction away from the federal district trial courts and assign it to specialized immigration courts.

00:41:31.000 So first of all, all these immigration cases, the district courts have no jurisdiction over them.

00:41:35.000 They're in the wrong place.

00:41:36.000 And when they're in...

00:41:38.000 Like Wolfsburg and what's her name in Boston?

00:41:40.000 Yes. That's the wrong place.

00:41:41.000 Yes.

00:41:46.000 For example, these don't have to be individualized hearings.

00:41:49.000 You 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.

00:41:59.000 Bam! They're all gone.

00:42:00.000 It doesn't have to be an individualized hearing.

00:42:02.000 So you can do it in an accelerated way.

00:42:05.000 In this particular case, one really outrageous part of this...

00:42:09.000 This guy was deported on March 15th.

00:42:12.000 His family didn't even file anything in court, in federal district court, until March 24th, nine days later.

00:42:19.000 By then, he had been in El Salvador for nine days.

00:42:23.000 The United States has zero jurisdiction over that guy the moment he's been returned to El Salvador.

00:42:29.000 So everything that's happening in federal district court with respect to this guy is completely lawless.

00:42:34.000 Courts do not have infinite and unlimited authority and jurisdiction.

00:42:38.000 Wouldn't this be a lack of standing or something?

00:42:40.000 It's a lack of jurisdiction.

00:42:41.000 So 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?

00:42:51.000 This is an El Salvadoran citizen who's in El Salvador.

00:42:55.000 But if he was an American, they'd have jurisdiction over the American citizen, right? 0.73

00:42:58.000 But he's not an American citizen.

00:42:59.000 No, no, my argument is, if an American citizen got deported to El Salvador like Democrats are whinging about...

00:43:04.000 Courts would have jurisdiction because the U.S. government has jurisdiction over American citizens.

00:43:08.000 You 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.

00:43:16.000 We can't make Russia, through a court order or any other means, release them to us.

00:43:20.000 That's a fact.

00:43:21.000 We have to go through other negotiation means to get somebody back, whether it's a journalist or a basketball player or...

00:43:28.000 I suppose it's by whatever they say, right?

00:43:31.000 But we can't force them to.

00:43:33.000 I want to jump to this next story.

00:43:36.000 So we have this clip from ABC of Abrego Garcia's wife.

00:43:41.000 And I'm not going to bear the lead.

00:43:43.000 I'm going to say it right off the bat.

00:43:44.000 I believe this woman is under duress in everything she's doing. 1.00

00:43:49.000 I believe my views on this is completely reasonable.

00:43:52.000 Let me play this clip for you, and then I will lay out my argument.

00:43:55.000 I have to ask it.

00:43:56.000 You did take out a temporary order of protection against your husband in 2021.

00:44:01.000 Were you in fear of your husband?

00:44:08.000 My husband is alive.

00:44:10.000 That's all I can say.

00:44:14.000 Okay. As you know, I'm not going to push on that, apparently.

00:44:18.000 But how much hope? 0.96

00:44:19.000 That was a ridiculous non-answer. 0.94

00:44:22.000 I believe that his wife's under duress. 0.98

00:44:24.000 Let me lay this out.

00:44:25.000 In 2021, she files a petition for protection on domestic violence accusations.

00:44:31.000 She says that he's punched her, mercilessly beaten her, given her a black eye.

00:44:36.000 All of a sudden, she stops following through with it.

00:44:40.000 What 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?

00:44:54.000 I've worked it out.

00:44:56.000 Well, you're a cop.

00:44:58.000 Yeah. Let me ask you a question.

00:44:59.000 This is my expertise.

00:45:00.000 If you went to, if you got a report from someone saying, I just watched a guy beating his wife.

00:45:06.000 And you went to the house, knocked on the door, and the woman said, no, no, everything's fine.

00:45:09.000 What would you do?

00:45:13.000 That's a good what if.

00:45:14.000 Does she have like physical bruising? 1.00

00:45:16.000 She got a black guy. 0.99

00:45:17.000 Arrest the dude. 0.92

00:45:18.000 I got to get a statement from the guy that saw it happen.

00:45:20.000 But she said it's fine.

00:45:21.000 Doesn't matter.

00:45:22.000 She said nothing happened.

00:45:22.000 New York State domestic violence laws say that I have to separate the two parties and if I get the witness, I've got to take them apart.

00:45:27.000 Now, there's a reason why that law exists.

00:45:29.000 In your experience, was she fine?

00:45:32.000 No. This is the point I'm bringing about Obrego Garcia's wife.

00:45:35.000 So 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.

00:45:41.000 The 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.

00:45:51.000 No. You don't think so?

00:45:53.000 No. The amount of times that I've had domestics where partners, kids, we'll just stick with partners, right?

00:45:58.000 Husband 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. 0.87

00:46:05.000 I'm like, okay, cool.

00:46:06.000 I need you to come in for a statement.

00:46:07.000 Well, a week later, she keeps ignoring my phone calls.

00:46:10.000 I got to close the case because all she wanted was to have the guy removed for the day. 1.00

00:46:14.000 She'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. 0.95

00:46:20.000 And that's par for the course for a lot, a lot of domestic violence issues. 0.86

00:46:25.000 And the court filing here said they dismissed it because she did not appear in court to follow up.

00:46:29.000 And so she said that we worked it out.

00:46:32.000 And I agree with you in a normal case, but not when MS-13 is involved.

00:46:37.000 She'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.

00:46:44.000 So 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.

00:46:51.000 From 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.

00:47:04.000 They were both found strung up and hung from a highway sign.

00:47:08.000 People were driving past their corpses.

00:47:11.000 I 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.

00:47:21.000 Likely just told her, stop or else.

00:47:24.000 Maybe that's why she didn't file until nine days later. 0.97

00:47:26.000 It could be.

00:47:27.000 And listen, it's hard for me to imagine any interaction with MS-13 that wouldn't be inherently coercive, right?

00:47:33.000 They're a hyper-violent gang.

00:47:35.000 If they lived in your neighborhood, it would be coercive.

00:47:38.000 Indeed. So we could ask ourselves, is this a normal circumstance in which I would argue, right?

00:47:47.000 Exactly as you've seen.

00:47:47.000 I 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.

00:47:55.000 Who is that woman who hit herself? 1.00

00:47:56.000 She got in trouble for this.

00:47:58.000 Tawana Brawley?

00:47:59.000 Was that who?

00:48:00.000 I don't know.

00:48:00.000 Al Sharpton?

00:48:02.000 She punched herself in the face and then claimed he did it?

00:48:04.000 No, she faked an assault. 1.00

00:48:08.000 There's plenty of cases of women who will injure themselves and then report it as spouses. 0.58

00:48:14.000 There 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.

00:48:22.000 And the woman had a camera in the house and she got on film. 1.00

00:48:26.000 So I would just say this.

00:48:29.000 She's punching me! 1.00

00:48:30.000 With MS-13 involved, and look, I know that MS-13's got a reputation for being super brutal. 0.97

00:48:39.000 Yeah. 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?

00:48:49.000 Brandon Buckingham.

00:48:50.000 Brandon Buckingham.

00:48:50.000 Sorry, I forget your name, brother.

00:48:52.000 When you give media coverage to a Chicago gang, the other gangs are like, you're dead.

00:48:58.000 Because you're giving them cred.

00:49:00.000 You're giving them respect.

00:49:01.000 You are propping them up.

00:49:03.000 You become a target.

00:49:05.000 I'd be willing to bet MS-13 was like, don't mess with us.

00:49:09.000 I disagree.

00:49:11.000 The gang is so violent.

00:49:13.000 An 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.

00:49:22.000 Whatever acceptance that she wants to say.

00:49:23.000 An order of protection and an assault or harassment charge is nothing compared to these guys.

00:49:28.000 What if it puts the guy on the radar of the police?

00:49:30.000 They're already on the radar for the police.

00:49:32.000 They're an MS-13 guy.

00:49:33.000 Well, actually, this was after he got arrested, actually.

00:49:35.000 So, yeah, I agree with you.

00:49:37.000 You're saying this now, though, right?

00:49:38.000 You're saying that she's acting this way because they're threatening her now.

00:49:41.000 You're not saying it was then?

00:49:42.000 Okay, because, like, I could see it.

00:49:44.000 Like, here's a guy who already almost got deported.

00:49:46.000 Yeah. They're saying he was in Chicaea, which means, according to the DA, this guy appeared on Fox News.

00:49:52.000 Obrega Garcia would have had to have murdered somebody.

00:49:54.000 That was the next step for full initiation.

00:49:56.000 He was basically like...

00:49:57.000 They call him...

00:49:57.000 Achequeo means he works with a gang, he'll do what they want, but he doesn't get full benefits.

00:50:01.000 He's not a full member until he kills somebody. 0.82

00:50:04.000 And so...

00:50:05.000 He gets arrested in 2019, and he's nearly deported.

00:50:08.000 But he argues, if I go back, I'll die, so we get to temporary stay.

00:50:11.000 So I looked up the law.

00:50:13.000 It 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.

00:50:22.000 I'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.

00:50:29.000 His deportation was not paused.

00:50:32.000 He had a final order of deportation.

00:50:33.000 The order of withholding just says, you have to go.

00:50:36.000 You can't stay in the U.S. anymore.

00:50:38.000 You're not lawfully present, but we will not order you deported to El Salvador.

00:50:42.000 That's all it meant.

00:50:43.000 Unless. The law states that unless the circumstances of your home country have changed, thus that there's no longer a threat.

00:50:50.000 That's true.

00:50:50.000 That takes a hearing.

00:50:52.000 Exactly. Right.

00:50:52.000 But he lost his withholding on a different basis entirely.

00:50:56.000 In February this year, when MS-13 was designated a terrorist organization, he became a terrorist, and they're ineligible by function of law.

00:51:05.000 I agree.

00:51:05.000 Now let's go back to 2021, when she claims he was beating her and then stopped abruptly.

00:51:11.000 Perhaps you're right, and I'm crazy, right?

00:51:13.000 Or I'm exaggerating, or I'm using it wrongly.

00:51:15.000 She just was falsely accusing the guy because there was something she was trying to get out of it.

00:51:19.000 Or, then this is what I'm trying to say, she's not faking it.

00:51:22.000 She was beat.

00:51:24.000 But this is just a part of the domestic violence circle that happens in relationships. 0.86

00:51:27.000 She gets beat.

00:51:28.000 She gets over it.

00:51:29.000 They stay together.

00:51:30.000 He brings in food.

00:51:31.000 She loves them.

00:51:31.000 They love each other.

00:51:32.000 She gets beat.

00:51:33.000 He brings in food.

00:51:34.000 She gets fatter.

00:51:35.000 Battered wife syndrome. 0.89

00:51:36.000 Yeah. So where else is she going to go? 0.86

00:51:41.000 And what I'm trying to understand is your point of, like, the money coming in.

00:51:46.000 That's now.

00:51:47.000 That's now.

00:51:48.000 $200,000?

00:51:49.000 Yeah. I mean, come on.

00:51:50.000 First 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.

00:51:58.000 You think the gang is taking the money that she's bringing in? 0.50

00:52:01.000 Hey, 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...

00:52:10.000 A regular street gang in Chicago would be doing exactly as I'm describing it right now.

00:52:14.000 I'm with him on this.

00:52:16.000 If 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.

00:52:22.000 They're not going to let her keep that money. 1.00

00:52:23.000 The 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.

00:52:36.000 Why would MS-13 not do that to her when she filed for domestic? 0.87

00:52:41.000 I'm not saying that they have to.

00:52:43.000 I 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.

00:52:52.000 The view I have is, what is the simpler solution?

00:52:54.000 What makes the least amount of assumptions?

00:52:56.000 In a normal circumstance, I completely agree.

00:52:58.000 The cycle of domestic violence...

00:53:00.000 Can we just go with something that's a lot simpler, though, and just say that they're asking her about things that...

00:53:05.000 Like, might make it so there's less sympathy and the money is coming.

00:53:08.000 Like, we could just say the money's coming in.

00:53:10.000 I agree.

00:53:11.000 I need a negative connotation.

00:53:12.000 But 2021 is before money, before this case, before the terrorism designation.

00:53:17.000 Why did she drop the domestic charge? 1.00

00:53:19.000 Oh, that's so normal, though.

00:53:20.000 It's so powerful, of course.

00:53:22.000 So 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. 1.00

00:53:29.000 Like, as somebody who grew up in a foster household...

00:53:32.000 Domestic violence is something that is common in many of my foster siblings.

00:53:36.000 This is a thing.

00:53:37.000 So 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.

00:53:47.000 Do you think that's a possibility?

00:53:50.000 I think it's extremely less likely.

00:53:51.000 I'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.

00:53:58.000 Yes. I'm just going to say it.

00:54:00.000 I think the political handlers would be more likely.

00:54:03.000 I think she's extremely safe because the people that want to push a political agenda are using her as a puppet, as a mouthpiece. 0.96

00:54:10.000 Not so much MS-13.

00:54:12.000 I think she's the safest she could possibly be because she's surrounded by people that want to see.

00:54:16.000 That's a good point.

00:54:18.000 For me, I think it's political operatives that are talking.

00:54:21.000 The lawyers on record for Herbrego Garcia are like from a top 10 law firm.

00:54:26.000 These guys make a million dollars a year.

00:54:28.000 This is pro bono work.

00:54:31.000 All these top 20 law firms, they're billion dollar operations.

00:54:38.000 They all have huge pro bono.

00:54:41.000 Units just to do progressive legal work.

00:54:43.000 Do you guys think that MS-13 is backing away from her?

00:54:48.000 Yes. They don't want to be close to this and I don't think they want more attention like this.

00:54:53.000 She's on the news getting sympathy from half the country right now.

00:54:56.000 Why would they go mess with her?

00:54:57.000 That's going to put a spotlight on them.

00:54:59.000 For me, I think the political manipulation is more likely.

00:55:02.000 How much is $200,000 worth from a gang that's doing?

00:55:05.000 Perhaps. We've seen people kill for less.

00:55:09.000 Sure. Yeah, but the government is gangsters, too. 0.97

00:55:12.000 Yeah. I mean, the progressives are gangsters, too. 0.95

00:55:14.000 We just saw a video of a guy threatening to kill everybody, right? 0.98

00:55:19.000 Oh, yeah.

00:55:20.000 So some Carmelo Anthony fan.

00:55:21.000 Is that what it was?

00:55:22.000 Yeah. You know, I feel bad for the NBA star, Carmelo Anthony.

00:55:27.000 Oh, gosh.

00:55:28.000 Yeah, that's what I could think of.

00:55:30.000 This guy's a legend.

00:55:31.000 It's a rough scission report for him this week.

00:55:33.000 The other guy's with a K. It is.

00:55:34.000 And I remember when I first, someone said, like, hey, did you hear about the story about that dude, Carmelo Anthony, who killed that kid?

00:55:39.000 And I was like, what?

00:55:41.000 NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony did what?

00:55:44.000 And then I looked it up and I was like, that's weird.

00:55:46.000 I was like, well, it does kind of suck because I wonder when you say the name, who first comes to mind?

00:55:52.000 It's like taking his legacy from him.

00:55:54.000 But yeah, I don't know.

00:55:55.000 I think you guys make good points.

00:55:56.000 I just think when I see this...

00:55:59.000 You 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.

00:56:08.000 The gang would be there knocking on her door and they'd have guns and they'd be like, look, just don't say anything.

00:56:13.000 Otherwise, it's going to get bad for everybody.

00:56:14.000 I'm sure that's true, but that lacks the political dynamic that we have going on here in the spotlight.

00:56:20.000 I'm saying in 2021 before the spotlight.

00:56:22.000 Not now.

00:56:23.000 I agree with what you're saying now.

00:56:25.000 So what is your issue with 2021?

00:56:27.000 Because I still think I'm not grasping what you're saying.

00:56:29.000 So in 2019, he's arrested.

00:56:31.000 Yeah. He is found by a court to be deportable, to be deported, and a member of MS-13.

00:56:36.000 Yeah. The gang's probably not happy about that.

00:56:38.000 However, they give him withholding of deportation because he claims he will die if he goes home.

00:56:42.000 So he gets a temporary holding on the deportation.

00:56:45.000 In 2021, she says to the government, he's beating me.

00:56:49.000 Yes. This is going to get him deported.

00:56:50.000 It's going to get him in trouble.

00:56:53.000 And potentially the other guys who are with him, who knows?

00:56:55.000 It's going to put a negative light on him.

00:56:58.000 The gang experience that I have is any scrutiny from law enforcement on what they do could blow the whole thing open.

00:57:05.000 And 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.

00:57:15.000 Okay. So what I'm saying is she drops this in 2021.

00:57:19.000 Because MS-13 says, we've already got these people breathing down our neck, trying to deport Abrego.

00:57:24.000 He works for us, and you're going to screw us over.

00:57:27.000 Let's say Abrego, he was accused of human trafficking.

00:57:29.000 He was in a car, loaded with people in 2022.

00:57:32.000 This means, if that accusation is true, he was still working and doing trafficking work for MS-13 a year later.

00:57:38.000 If she goes to the police and says, he's beating me, they lose their human trafficker. 0.99

00:57:42.000 So I think it stands to reason they went to her and said, shut the f*** up. 1.00

00:57:46.000 And she said, okay. 0.99

00:57:48.000 It's plausible.

00:57:49.000 It's plausible.

00:57:50.000 Because then he continued to work for them.

00:57:51.000 But again, keep in mind, I just want to clarify, because we keep saying that this guy's deportation was paused.

00:57:57.000 It was not paused.

00:57:58.000 No, the order is called the withholding of deportation.

00:58:00.000 All the withholding means is that we will not deport him to El Salvador.

00:58:04.000 He was still required to leave the United States.

00:58:07.000 So the order saying you cannot stay here, that was not paused.

00:58:11.000 He was not legally present.

00:58:13.000 Exactly. And I suppose the issue is we can't...

00:58:22.000 Normally, we let people self-deport.

00:58:24.000 So normally, we don't just lock them in handcuffs and throw them out of the country.

00:58:27.000 We let them gather their affairs.

00:58:30.000 They have homes, they have furniture, they have kids, and we let them get their affairs together.

00:58:34.000 They know they're legally required to leave, and they know it's going to go much harder for them if they get caught again.

00:58:39.000 But this guy did it for six years after his final order of deportation.

00:58:42.000 He was still here.

00:58:45.000 The point I was making the other day, which the left is lying about, is judges cannot create de facto permanent residency through a technicality.

00:58:52.000 That means this is a temporary status, which is subject to being revoked at any time.

00:58:59.000 And 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?

00:59:14.000 Yes. Good news.

00:59:15.000 Nayib Bukele has jailed all MS-13, and they're no longer a strong presence.

00:59:20.000 The crime rate has dropped substantially.

00:59:21.000 Withholding of deportation, void on the plane.

00:59:24.000 So there's a concept in law called harmless error.

00:59:26.000 So it's very common for someone to get convicted in a criminal trial.

00:59:29.000 They appeal their conviction.

00:59:31.000 They say, the judge in my trial did something wrong.

00:59:33.000 And the appellate court looks at it and says, you know what?

00:59:35.000 You're right.

00:59:36.000 That was a mistake.

00:59:37.000 The trial judge made a mistake.

00:59:38.000 But you would have been convicted anyway.

00:59:41.000 The error is harmless.

00:59:43.000 Nothing changes.

00:59:44.000 You don't get a new trial.

00:59:45.000 You get no benefit from the appeal.

00:59:47.000 This is harmless error.

00:59:49.000 If we brought back Abrego Garcia today to the U.S., what would immediately happen to him?

00:59:54.000 He'd be deported to El Salvador.

00:59:57.000 So 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.

01:00:04.000 I do absolutely love that.

01:00:07.000 They're demanding he be returned.

01:00:10.000 And he would literally walk in, go before a judge, have his withholding removed, and sent right back.

01:00:14.000 Exactly. It makes no sense.

01:00:15.000 It's the stupidest thing in the world. 1.00

01:00:17.000 Look. Can we just have that happen so they shut up? 1.00

01:00:20.000 Seems like a lot of facilitation.

01:00:23.000 Yeah. Trump doesn't want to do that because then Trump's bending the knee to these federal courts that do not have...

01:00:28.000 In fact, the authority to make him do this.

01:00:31.000 In addition, they could then say he could do it for more down the road.

01:00:34.000 I 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.

01:00:41.000 If you want to be Machiavellian...

01:00:46.000 My advice to the Trump administration, if you want to be evil, right?

01:00:48.000 There's always a couple, I always, you know, whenever I tell people, when they say something like, what should we do about this circumstance?

01:00:54.000 I always ask them, how evil do you want to be?

01:00:55.000 Because 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.

01:01:00.000 All 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.

01:01:12.000 Imagine what would happen if he did that.

01:01:14.000 And that would be fine with me, because it's not something Trump is doing.

01:01:17.000 I can explain.

01:01:17.000 But just imagine, like, if the Democrats came out, and right now, Gregor Garcia's on TV saying, I am an MS-13 gay member.

01:01:24.000 They would do what they're already transitioning to now, which is saying, well, it's not really about him, everybody.

01:01:29.000 The wife-beater's not important anymore.

01:01:31.000 It's about the principle.

01:01:32.000 They flip it over and say that he gave a gang member money.

01:01:35.000 But the reason Trump must not...

01:01:37.000 I'm saying, if you're evil, you don't admit to doing that.

01:01:39.000 All he has to say is, well, where did that $50,000 in your bank account come from, Pedro?

01:01:43.000 No, 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.

01:01:50.000 Oh, that's true.

01:01:51.000 And the guy, I mean, okay, they can be really evil.

01:01:53.000 They can push a gun into his back and say, say you're sorry, you're a gang member.

01:01:57.000 You know what I mean? 0.60

01:01:58.000 And then he does, and then what do you do?

01:02:00.000 What do Democrats say if, let's just say this.

01:02:03.000 If 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.

01:02:09.000 I don't want to come.

01:02:10.000 I don't want to go back to the States.

01:02:11.000 What does Van Hollen do?

01:02:12.000 I thought they didn't let him talk to Van Hollen.

01:02:13.000 What was it?

01:02:14.000 I thought they didn't let him talk to Van Hollen.

01:02:15.000 Oh, yeah, they did.

01:02:15.000 They had margaritas together.

01:02:19.000 They were chilling.

01:02:20.000 Yeah, there's photos of him enjoying a margarita together.

01:02:23.000 And now the Democrats are arguing that they gave the margaritas as a prop.

01:02:28.000 Like, they're arguing that they didn't want the margaritas, but El Salvador put it there intentionally to make it look more friendly.

01:02:35.000 It was like a New York Times reporter said, I saw them bring the margaritas and they didn't even want them.

01:02:41.000 They should have put a box of condoms on the table.

01:02:43.000 Whatever it is, my comment section is saying they didn't have real margaritas.

01:02:47.000 I do love the meme that's find someone who looks at you the way a Democrat looks at an MS-13 gang member.

01:02:53.000 Oh my gosh.

01:02:55.000 Man. I have a very unique perspective.

01:02:59.000 Everybody has unique perspectives on everything.

01:03:01.000 I'm deeply purple.

01:03:02.000 Everybody pretty much knows that at this point.

01:03:04.000 When it comes to legal versus illegal immigration, my first husband, his family, they live near Fort Huachuca in Benson, Arizona.

01:03:14.000 And every one of them served in the military to earn their citizenship.

01:03:18.000 All of the males in the family line going back four generations have served in the military.

01:03:23.000 Different branches, mostly the Navy.

01:03:25.000 And almost all of the men and several of the women in the family now choose to work for Border Patrol.

01:03:32.000 And I was kind of surprised by that when I had my daughter and I was spending time with them down near Fort Huachuca.

01:03:38.000 I'm like, why?

01:03:39.000 Why do you do this?

01:03:41.000 And they basically said, you know, Because they need somebody on the inside.

01:03:45.000 No, they said you don't understand the things that the coyotes do to the children they're smuggling in.

01:03:52.000 Find your first pregnant woman's body in the desert with something literally eating her insides. 1.00

01:03:58.000 And you'll understand that the legal, you need to come in this way.

01:04:02.000 They really deeply like...

01:04:03.000 Like, 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.

01:04:16.000 And they were like, you don't understand what they're doing to these children, and me having grown up in a foster household.

01:04:21.000 I was surrounded by children that were mercilessly abused by people.

01:04:24.000 And 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.

01:04:32.000 And that's why Tom Homan is so energized about this.

01:04:35.000 He'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.

01:04:43.000 Let's jump to this story from the Dallas Morning News.

01:04:45.000 This is not a good one, man.

01:04:46.000 The Austin Metcalfe's family was swatted today, according to Frisco police.

01:04:50.000 Officers responded to a false gunshot call to an address tied to the...

01:04:54.000 This is horrific.

01:05:05.000 Everybody knows what that is.

01:05:10.000 Earlier 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.

01:05:18.000 Jeff Metcalf, Austin's father, was barred from attending the news conference.

01:05:22.000 Y'all, this is getting absolutely insane.

01:05:25.000 We did talk about this to a great degree earlier today on the Culture War podcast, but I don't know.

01:05:31.000 What do you guys think?

01:05:32.000 Well, swatting is attempted murder.

01:05:33.000 Swatting is so dangerous, and it's happening politically more and more and more, Things are getting absolutely crazy in this country.

01:06:04.000 We've been talking a bit about the Mangione effect.

01:06:08.000 And the escalation of political violence while largely liberals cheer it on.

01:06:12.000 But this is crazy.

01:06:15.000 Clearly, whoever did this is, I would imagine, the middle left.

01:06:20.000 In 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...

01:06:31.000 You can discern between politically motivated violence anymore and random acts because of the celebration of Luigi Mangione.

01:06:41.000 Wait, are you trying to say that because of Luigi Mangione that this swatting event took place because it's been normalized?

01:06:50.000 So you've got...

01:06:51.000 Simply put, yes, but with caveats.

01:06:55.000 Okay. When they go on TV on Colbert and Kimmel and cheer for the Tesla attacks and the audience claps and cheers.

01:07:00.000 Yeah. When they go on The Daily Show and he says they're firebombing these things and people clap and cheer.

01:07:05.000 And then Jordan Klepper's like, wow.

01:07:06.000 When entire online forums are dedicated to Luigi Mangione because they view him as, as Taylor Lorenz said, a morally good man who's handsome.

01:07:17.000 We saw a copycat of Luigi Mangione.

01:07:20.000 Showed up at UnitedHealthcareHQ in Minnetonka and threatened to start shooting people.

01:07:25.000 Even though he had no grievance whatsoever with UnitedHealth. 0.98

01:07:29.000 They just said, I guess, he was crazy.

01:07:31.000 That is clearly Manjani effect.

01:07:34.000 The left, widespread on the internet, is celebrating the violence and you will get crazy people doing crazy things.

01:07:40.000 What you are seeding in people's minds is attempted murder and violence is justifiable if I feel it so.

01:07:47.000 So what my point is, swattings happen. 0.67

01:07:50.000 But we've had...

01:07:50.000 20 swattings targeting conservative individuals in the past month and a half.

01:07:54.000 Yeah, I was going to say there's a massive uptick.

01:07:56.000 And this is related to, I would argue, the Magena effect, Teslas, and things like this.

01:08:01.000 So 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.

01:08:16.000 I'm just going to step way back, and I'm going to go way high up.

01:08:19.000 Historically, 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

01:08:35.000 officials. That is historically happening in every single civilization in history.

01:08:39.000 When you reach a point where there is a lack of hope among the population and.

01:08:43.000 I am not agreeing with it.

01:08:51.000 The Luigi Mangione effect is not because he was handsome.

01:08:56.000 It's not because it was just UnitedHealthcare.

01:08:58.000 It is because people think there's different systems of justice for the rich and the not rich.

01:09:06.000 They think there's different systems of capability.

01:09:10.000 We talked about last time I was on here the stock market.

01:09:13.000 88% of equities in this country in our stock market are held by the top 10% of owners.

01:09:19.000 It's worse.

01:09:20.000 93% of all the equities in the stock market are held by the top 10% of earners.

01:09:24.000 That means the remaining 7% are held by the next 40% of earners.

01:09:28.000 And what's happening is because all of that is now compounding, it is creating bigger and bigger black holes of wealth extraction.

01:09:36.000 And so the Mangione effect, I don't think, is related to this.

01:09:40.000 I think political...

01:09:42.000 Violence in general is an inevitability because we have a deeply corrupted political system.

01:09:50.000 But the Mangione effect is a subset in this criteria you're describing.

01:09:55.000 I think they're very, very scared.

01:09:56.000 I 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.

01:10:03.000 And that's what we're seeing and that's the Mangione effect.

01:10:05.000 And that's the concern.

01:10:06.000 That 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.

01:10:16.000 I don't see the connection with swatting and that.

01:10:19.000 We had 20 swattings of conservatives already.

01:10:22.000 Completely related to Elon Musk and Tesla.

01:10:25.000 We had 20 swattings directly targeting conservatives, and now the cause celebration of conservatives just got swatted.

01:10:31.000 The family just got swatted.

01:10:32.000 Those are politically motivated.

01:10:34.000 This... I

01:11:04.000 in this to target and demand justice for.

01:11:09.000 I'm not saying they're wrong and I'm not saying they should or should not be

01:11:12.000 The left has responded by donating half a million dollars to Carmelo Anthony.

01:11:20.000 In the past month and a half, we've had 20 swattings of conservatives.

01:11:23.000 This family has been tweeted out support from every single one of those people.

01:11:27.000 Of course there's a political angle.

01:11:31.000 Let me put it this way.

01:11:32.000 I think you're right.

01:11:34.000 I'll take it back.

01:11:35.000 There is a sort of political attention that this is getting.

01:11:39.000 Nobody would swap this family if it wasn't in the news.

01:11:42.000 Yes, but that doesn't mean that it's the Mangione effect or Luigi effect.

01:11:46.000 It's only in the news for political reasons.

01:11:47.000 Correct. 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.

01:12:07.000 The point I was making, it's not that it's a guarantee that's the case.

01:12:10.000 I understand.

01:12:11.000 It's how can we discern between what would normally be a random act of violence...

01:12:16.000 Or something that is more entrenched in a faction of people in this country feel emboldened to commit acts of violence.

01:12:23.000 I'll agree with that.

01:12:24.000 I can't.

01:12:26.000 I feel like it's easier to separate this from Mangione and say that it's racially motivated because they don't like what's going on.

01:12:37.000 I will say that there's probably a political side to it where the conservatives are supporting the white kid.

01:12:43.000 Liberals are supporting...

01:12:45.000 But we're not disagreeing with each other.

01:12:46.000 Okay. What I'm saying is there are people whose political worldview is largely racial.

01:12:50.000 Mm-hmm.

01:12:51.000 The Mangione effect does not mean that you want to kill CEOs.

01:12:54.000 It means that the left has celebrated violence and murder.

01:12:58.000 And that means all subsets of that political class now feel violence and death are acceptable.

01:13:04.000 Mm-hmm.

01:13:04.000 The swatting is because they are racially motivated politically.

01:13:09.000 But it's emboldened and only happened because of the Mangione effect.

01:13:12.000 That is, the left has told people, you will be a hero and you'll be celebrated for doing this.

01:13:17.000 I'm going to say in this instance, though, we're seeing a very deep left-right divide on this, and that's very clear.

01:13:23.000 The Mangione effect has united people on both sides like nothing since the Titan submersible and our recent trip to space.

01:13:30.000 Let me tell you, the Mangione effect online is not left-right.

01:13:35.000 It is pretty even.

01:13:37.000 It is young versus old is what it is.

01:13:39.000 It is people that have hope versus people that have none.

01:13:42.000 But 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,

01:13:57.000 and is wrong.

01:13:58.000 And the left is doing shows where they cheer for him and they've donated a million dollars to him.

01:14:03.000 It is clearly distinct.

01:14:05.000 I'm going to say that I am seeing generational differences far more than I am seeing left-right differences on the Mangione effect.

01:14:11.000 Go to every single conservative podcaster and they've condemned Mangione and go to every single liberal and they're celebrating.

01:14:16.000 I mean, they have to, but we all have to condemn what we did.

01:14:20.000 What's your breakdown?

01:14:21.000 The young people are in favor of him and the young people are against him.

01:14:23.000 My point is that I'm not even going to say they're in favor of it.

01:14:26.000 They're literally like...

01:14:28.000 Equivalent of saying like, oh...

01:14:30.000 You know, thoughts and prayers.

01:14:31.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:14:32.000 And I'm not seeing it left-right online, which I'm on there an awful lot.

01:14:35.000 You're saying that the young people are, you know, for lack of a better word, pro-Luigi.

01:14:39.000 The young people, I'm going to say young, I'm going to say I'm going to go all the way up to like 40 and under.

01:14:44.000 I'm going to say our pro, not necessarily what he did.

01:14:48.000 Oh, sure.

01:14:48.000 I understand.

01:14:49.000 But like our pro, the fact that like nothing else is making a difference in their future.

01:14:54.000 And all the wealth is with this small group of people and they are getting that wealth through the...

01:15:00.000 Well, somebody's supporting Luigi because Jacob from Give, Send, Go is here today, and he's raised a million dollars.

01:15:07.000 Absolutely. Well, so we got a poll in the chat.

01:15:11.000 And right now, with 335 votes, 90% say, no, I do not support Luigi Mangione.

01:15:18.000 You have to say.

01:15:19.000 Yeah, but you're a right-wing podcaster.

01:15:21.000 Which is my point.

01:15:23.000 No, if the right was evenly split...

01:15:25.000 The right would be saying what their audience wanted them to say.

01:15:28.000 I'm not saying it evenly split.

01:15:29.000 And their audience would be giving them thumbs down.

01:15:31.000 What you just did.

01:15:31.000 I'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.

01:15:39.000 But they are in favor of someone doing anything that makes a difference and makes people pause.

01:15:43.000 But this didn't make a difference.

01:15:44.000 It made everything worse.

01:15:45.000 I mean, I'm not saying it made a difference.

01:15:48.000 But what I am saying is that...

01:15:51.000 I am not saying it made a difference.

01:15:52.000 What 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,

01:16:11.000 small 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.

01:16:21.000 Now, I would push back on the notion that this hasn't made any difference.

01:16:25.000 To you, it hasn't made any difference.

01:16:27.000 To a conservative, it doesn't make any difference because nothing substantive has changed.

01:16:32.000 But a lot of people, the difference is emotional for them.

01:16:35.000 And now people are talking about this and paying attention to this and they feel like they're being heard.

01:16:40.000 And for them, that's the difference.

01:16:42.000 I would argue the left feels like he made a difference.

01:16:46.000 Because he opened the door for them to accept political violence, which they largely now do.

01:16:51.000 So 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.

01:17:01.000 There 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.

01:17:13.000 So what Mangione did didn't change the healthcare system.

01:17:16.000 It entrenched it.

01:17:18.000 It made the higher-ups who run these companies hide their positions and hide their names.

01:17:23.000 I agree.

01:17:24.000 Cover this up.

01:17:24.000 It did not affect premiums.

01:17:26.000 It did not affect policy.

01:17:28.000 But to the left, what was done?

01:17:30.000 It was more symbolic of we will eat the rich.

01:17:34.000 It opened the door for Jimmy Kimmel and Colbert to celebrate and advocate for political violence, and the audience cheered for it.

01:17:42.000 It created a moment where they can culturally and publicly state their intention to murder.

01:17:48.000 The right doesn't do that.

01:17:50.000 The financial circumstances of our country are opening the doors to political violence by not serving their voters anymore.

01:17:56.000 And I am not saying I agree with it.

01:17:57.000 I don't.

01:17:59.000 I don't.

01:17:59.000 But 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.

01:18:13.000 And again, every civilization in human history where we reached this level of wealth inequality, political violence followed.

01:18:21.000 Until there was a revolution and we went full guillotine down Wall Street.

01:18:25.000 And that's what's going to happen if our politicians don't start listening to their voters.

01:18:29.000 What do you mean, guillotines down Wall Street?

01:18:31.000 I am saying that what...

01:18:33.000 Marie 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. 0.89

01:18:41.000 It's going to be for the billionaires.

01:18:43.000 And I would push back on the right not engaging in political violence.

01:18:46.000 It'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.

01:18:55.000 No, he's not.

01:18:56.000 It's a question of is he or isn't he?

01:18:58.000 I don't mean physically.

01:18:59.000 I don't mean physically.

01:19:00.000 He's destroying their NGO money.

01:19:06.000 I get what you're saying.

01:19:08.000 And I agree.

01:19:09.000 Trump is crushing our enemies, and we are very happy to see him do it.

01:19:13.000 But my point is, when we're dealing with political structures, the way you do it is what Trump is doing.

01:19:22.000 He's doing everything right.

01:19:24.000 The left is threatening to murder people because of it.

01:19:27.000 Let me pull up this story.

01:19:29.000 This is going viral.

01:19:30.000 It's a massive story. 0.95

01:19:31.000 This 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?

01:19:46.000 Where he wrote an essay that says, because of what Donald Trump is doing...

01:19:50.000 The question must be asked among those who oppose Trump, when will they decide to physically murder him and everyone else? 0.99

01:19:57.000 Well, the first thing I would say is, when must we kill them? 0.97

01:20:00.000 The answer is never. 0.92

01:20:01.000 That is not the way we handle politics in this country, no matter what you think is going on.

01:20:05.000 There is nothing in this country right now that rises to the level of needing political violence.

01:20:08.000 And I said this during Biden's administration as well.

01:20:11.000 When people were on the right were saying, how do we know when it's gone too far?

01:20:15.000 They're arresting Trump's lawyer.

01:20:16.000 I 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.

01:20:24.000 The Democrats have now realized they're on the wrong side of history.

01:20:27.000 For people like Bill Maher, what has he done?

01:20:29.000 He had a meeting with Trump.

01:20:30.000 He came out and said, you know what, Trump was a nice guy.

01:20:32.000 Wow, I can't believe it.

01:20:33.000 He started moderating his pitch.

01:20:34.000 Charlemagne the God, what did he do?

01:20:36.000 Oh, you know what, maybe Trump isn't a fascist.

01:20:38.000 For 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.

01:20:44.000 But for the hardcore progressives, for the far left, there's no coming back from where they went.

01:20:49.000 So they have no choice but to carry on, and that's why they write things like this.

01:20:55.000 So 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,

01:21:12.000 and it goes on to make...

01:21:14.000 Largely what you describe as Trump's attack on the institutions.

01:21:17.000 The funny thing is, if you read this paragraph largely as if this guy was a conservative, it aligns pretty similarly.

01:21:24.000 The first paragraph does.

01:21:25.000 Exactly. 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.

01:21:33.000 The thing is, the Trump supporters never did decide to go out and murder or kill anybody.

01:21:40.000 Nobody even died on January 6th.

01:21:41.000 As bad as January 6th was, a riot happened at the Capitol that should not have happened.

01:21:45.000 But that was after...

01:21:47.000 Well, somebody died.

01:21:48.000 No Trump supporter killed anybody on January 6th.

01:21:51.000 To clarify.

01:21:52.000 So 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.

01:21:59.000 Let's say Trump supporters.

01:22:01.000 The Trump base.

01:22:03.000 When this story came up, I did some digging.

01:22:06.000 I asked you at GPT.

01:22:08.000 Which, who commits more political violence, left or right?

01:22:10.000 What did it say?

01:22:11.000 No answer.

01:22:12.000 The right.

01:22:12.000 Oh. Substantially.

01:22:14.000 And so I said, okay, define the right.

01:22:17.000 And what did it say?

01:22:18.000 Anti-government.

01:22:20.000 It said anarchist.

01:22:21.000 Isn't that the left right now?

01:22:22.000 Indeed. And it said anarchist.

01:22:24.000 And it said neo-Nazi. 0.92

01:22:26.000 And it said white nationalist.

01:22:28.000 And I said, some of those factions disagree with each other.

01:22:32.000 How are they the right?

01:22:34.000 The definition given by academics to define the right as violence, they took a bunch of random groups and called it the right.

01:22:40.000 Neo-Nazis and libertarians are at the opposite ends of the spectrum.

01:22:44.000 They despise each other.

01:22:45.000 But these academics call them both the right.

01:22:48.000 Sovereign 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.

01:22:58.000 Yet the academics will combine them.

01:23:00.000 So I asked it, let's clarify, pro-Trump.

01:23:04.000 The conservative mainstream faction of right-wingers that we describe it.

01:23:08.000 No violence.

01:23:09.000 None. 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.

01:23:18.000 And 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.

01:23:33.000 Nobody... That feels that way has any idea how horrific it would have been for the fabric of our country.

01:23:40.000 Nobody 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.

01:23:51.000 And that political violence is never, ever, ever the answer.

01:23:57.000 Well, we even had David Brooks in the New York Times today calling for an uprising against Trump and Trumpism.

01:24:06.000 He said, what is happening now is not normal politics.

01:24:08.000 We're seeing an assault on the fundamental institutions of our civic life, things we should all swear loyalty to, Democrat, Independent, or Republican.

01:24:16.000 He's talking about Harvard, and he's talking about the NIH and USAID, all of these things that have completely lost.

01:24:21.000 Didn't Barbara Baxter just call for taking to the streets, too? 1.00

01:24:24.000 Well, they all do it.

01:24:25.000 Maxine Waters has done it repeatedly. 0.88

01:24:26.000 Someone went out and gave a speech and said, take to the streets, rise up.

01:24:29.000 Yeah, here it is.

01:24:29.000 I thought that was Maxine Waters a while ago.

01:24:30.000 It was Maxine.

01:24:31.000 I'm sorry.

01:24:31.000 Thank you.

01:24:32.000 Maxine Waters.

01:24:33.000 I stole it from you.

01:24:33.000 It's okay.

01:24:34.000 That's correct.

01:24:34.000 But she gave the answer first.

01:24:36.000 She said it before.

01:24:37.000 So did Kamala Harris.

01:24:38.000 It won't stop and it's not going to stop.

01:24:40.000 Which 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.

01:24:48.000 Before 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.

01:25:03.000 So I don't think it's the Mangione effect.

01:25:05.000 I think that that's a part of it.

01:25:06.000 But I think it's this left-wing desire to scare people into thinking that it's the end of the Constitution and rise up.

01:25:12.000 And that came from the political, the 2024 political gamble.

01:25:17.000 Just to clarify, the Mangione effect, Is just to describe an uptick in public support for violence following the assassination.

01:25:23.000 It's a step function up.

01:25:25.000 So it's a subset of all of what you're describing.

01:25:29.000 It is not...

01:25:31.000 Right. So it just basically, after the CEO was killed, we saw public conversations that were supportive of violence.

01:25:38.000 I mean, we saw those after the assassination attempt as well.

01:25:40.000 On Trump?

01:25:41.000 On Trump.

01:25:41.000 Yes. Right.

01:25:43.000 They're calling it the Mangione effect because he's become a saint figure to the left.

01:25:47.000 They use his photo.

01:25:50.000 I'm going to keep saying it's not the left, it's the younger generations.

01:25:54.000 I mean, it might be more left, maybe.

01:25:57.000 But by and large, the younger generations are more left, historically.

01:26:01.000 Because 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?

01:26:07.000 It's like an old shtick.

01:26:09.000 I don't think that's currently true.

01:26:10.000 I agree.

01:26:12.000 That's never been true.

01:26:13.000 And that's because Gen Z decided that the left was not serving them. 0.74

01:26:21.000 Gen Z is seeing a resurgence in quote, like literal quote, faith in Jesus.

01:26:28.000 Yes, no, I agree.

01:26:30.000 I actually recorded a segment on this earlier.

01:26:32.000 Trevor Noah came out and said he believes that everything will get worse if the church goes away and that people need church.

01:26:40.000 And I was surprised to hear what I'm saying.

01:26:41.000 We need a moral compass.

01:26:43.000 We need morality, and a church is a pretty good vector for instilling morality in a population.

01:26:50.000 Among Gen Z, they have the highest surge in faith in Jesus Christ.

01:26:56.000 Yeah, they are.

01:26:57.000 That's absolutely true.

01:26:58.000 So, like, boomers are the lowest, actually, which is interesting. 1.00

01:27:02.000 66% of boomer females and 62% of boomer males.

01:27:07.000 Everybody looked at me.

01:27:08.000 Are you a boomer?

01:27:10.000 How old are you?

01:27:10.000 By like two weeks.

01:27:12.000 What a boomer thing to say.

01:27:14.000 Actually, I think I can just pull this up.

01:27:17.000 That's definitely true, just judging from my family.

01:27:21.000 My 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...

01:27:33.000 rosary beads that were really precious to her that had been blessed by a

01:27:39.000 Pope John Paul II, and she gave them to me.

01:27:41.000 She was like, you're Catholic, you're the only one.

01:27:43.000 So I was wrong.

01:27:45.000 Millennials are the biggest uptick.

01:27:47.000 So take a look at this.

01:27:48.000 So this is tracking Gen Z over the past six years, and 54% of women and 52% of men in 2019.

01:27:56.000 As of today, it's 67% of men and 61% of women.

01:28:00.000 Major boost.

01:28:02.000 Among millennials...

01:28:03.000 58% of women and 52% of men in 2019.

01:28:07.000 Now it's 71% of men and 64% of women. 0.67

01:28:11.000 The one thing that's really interesting is in the younger generation, men are overwhelmingly moving towards Jesus Christ.

01:28:17.000 The 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.

01:28:27.000 They need inspiration and guidance, and they're not getting it from their parents, and they're not getting it from college.

01:28:31.000 And they're not getting it from the elites in Washington.

01:28:34.000 They're not getting it from our elected officials.

01:28:36.000 They're not getting it from anywhere else.

01:28:37.000 So that makes perfect sense to me that they would turn towards the church.

01:28:40.000 I think there's two factors here.

01:28:43.000 One is that conservatives had way more kids in the 2000s.

01:28:48.000 So I talk about that ad nauseum, in fact.

01:28:53.000 It was like 1.8 for—no, it was 2.01 in the 2000s for conservatives and like 1.7 for liberals, or 1.43.

01:28:59.000 And that meant that for every, you know, eight that were being born or whatever— There were three that were aborted.

01:29:06.000 Well— That makes it for the point they're half a kid.

01:29:10.000 That's probably true, actually.

01:29:11.000 The reason the liberals were lower is because they were engaging in abortions.

01:29:14.000 But this means that of the kids born, there's going to be four that are conservative and three that are liberal.

01:29:19.000 So what do you do in 20 years?

01:29:21.000 You are going to see a huge boost, 12% or so.

01:29:24.000 And that's exactly what we've seen.

01:29:26.000 I can tell you what you do.

01:29:27.000 You import... 0.75

01:29:28.000 Tens of millions of Third Worlders who are dependent upon the Democrats for their lives.

01:29:33.000 Indeed. They're all so deeply, generally Catholic.

01:29:36.000 But what I'm describing...

01:29:38.000 They're all so impoverished and they're dependent upon...

01:29:40.000 The government gives them housing, medical care, food.

01:29:43.000 I need to clarify.

01:29:44.000 What I'm describing doesn't account for the fact that the same Gen Z cohort from 2019 has become more Christian.

01:29:52.000 That implies an ideological shift over time.

01:29:56.000 And Gen Z's eldest are 27 years old. 0.89

01:29:59.000 So 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.

01:30:09.000 A lot of bad stuff.

01:30:16.000 And when you look at millennials, their entire life has been a slew of bad stuff over and over and over again. 0.83

01:30:22.000 They'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.

01:30:29.000 Well, 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.

01:30:37.000 After the fall of the Soviet Union, we had, I mean, that was it.

01:30:42.000 America was the unipolar dominant power. 0.51

01:30:44.000 The Cold War was over.

01:30:46.000 And so Americans lived pretty dang well. 0.99

01:30:49.000 Yeah, we sure did all the way up to the dot-com bubble.

01:30:52.000 I was just going to say.

01:30:52.000 Indeed. So there was this period of not even 10 years or so where millennials were growing up.

01:30:58.000 So when the disasters start happening, they go, these are all once-in-a-lifetime disasters.

01:31:01.000 And it's like, actually, my grandfather lived through the Great Depression, two world wars, the assassination of Kennedy.

01:31:11.000 His whole life was a series of political disasters.

01:31:14.000 I would suggest this was deliberate.

01:31:17.000 I mean, I came of age in the 80s.

01:31:19.000 I went through high school and college in the 80s.

01:31:22.000 1980s America was a fundamentally different place than the United States today.

01:31:26.000 It was pretty good, right?

01:31:26.000 It was amazing.

01:31:28.000 There was still so much possibility, though.

01:31:31.000 80 to 84. That was the time.

01:31:34.000 I graduated high school in 83. So you were jamming with your buddies to men at work?

01:31:38.000 Yeah, for sure.

01:31:39.000 That was it.

01:31:40.000 We'll never recover.

01:31:41.000 ACDC in my case, but...

01:31:42.000 No, Man at Work, the greatest band of all time.

01:31:44.000 Okay. I mean...

01:31:46.000 We'll have to fight it out.

01:31:47.000 Agree to disagree there.

01:31:48.000 The 90s were like the reward for what America had come through.

01:31:54.000 It was like a reward.

01:31:55.000 It was like a reward for what we'd come through.

01:31:57.000 We had peace.

01:31:58.000 I remember like I was, you know...

01:32:01.000 Doing art and stuff.

01:32:02.000 And there was just money everywhere.

01:32:05.000 Our friends would go out.

01:32:06.000 We'd have no money.

01:32:07.000 Someone would buy us a bunch of oysters and champagne.

01:32:09.000 I don't know.

01:32:10.000 I don't know who paid.

01:32:11.000 Well, you were a young woman at the time.

01:32:12.000 I know, but I was out with guys, girls.

01:32:15.000 Because you didn't date in the 90s.

01:32:17.000 You just went out with a group of your 10 friends.

01:32:20.000 Was that what that show was about?

01:32:21.000 I don't know.

01:32:23.000 Real world?

01:32:23.000 No, friends.

01:32:24.000 In the 90s, I graduated high school in 98. Yeah, I graduated before that.

01:32:30.000 Yeah. Wow, how old are you?

01:32:33.000 37. I graduated in 05. You and me.

01:32:36.000 I'm 39. Oh, the youngest kid at the table?

01:32:39.000 I'm 33. Serge is the youngest, but he's not talking.

01:32:43.000 He won't admit to anything.

01:32:45.000 That's fair.

01:32:46.000 Oh, there is a detective present.

01:32:48.000 Yeah, right.

01:32:49.000 I forgot.

01:32:50.000 No one's supposed to talk to this guy.

01:32:51.000 What are we doing?

01:32:53.000 He's going to leave, and he's got a recorder, and he's got a notepad, and he's going to write down everything that was there.

01:32:57.000 He's going to be like, if you ever come to Buffalo.

01:32:58.000 I took notes.

01:33:00.000 Took notes.

01:33:00.000 Alright, my friends.

01:33:01.000 We're going to go to your chats, but before we do, we got another awesome sponsor.

01:33:04.000 I'm actually a huge fan of Brickhouse Nutrition.

01:33:17.000 It's like a bunch of vegetables.

01:33:19.000 And you put it in your drink, and it makes it taste like berries, but it's got like...

01:33:23.000 Kale and spinach and stuff in it.

01:33:25.000 Anyway, I should probably read what they want me to say about this.

01:33:27.000 Because, you know, I could just go off on how much I love this stuff.

01:33:31.000 So, let's get real.

01:33:33.000 We're all human.

01:33:34.000 I like to talk a big game about how I eat healthy, but the truth is, I don't.

01:33:37.000 Today, I stripped the cheese off of pizza and threw the bread back in the box and then just ate the cheese.

01:33:41.000 Dude, I saw that.

01:33:42.000 That was you? 0.92

01:33:43.000 I saw three pieces of pizza with no cheese, and I was like, what disgusting animal did this? 0.96

01:33:47.000 What kind of monster? 0.74

01:33:49.000 Audacity. Anyway, guys, I'm reading an ad here.

01:33:51.000 But yes, it's true of me.

01:34:17.000 I probably need vitamins, you know what I mean?

01:34:20.000 So I'm a big fan.

01:34:49.000 I exercise almost daily, and so I stick to it.

01:34:53.000 Shout out to Field of Greens for sponsoring the show.

01:34:55.000 Your girl's breastfeeding right now. 1.00

01:34:57.000 Does she like it?

01:34:58.000 Does it work for breastfeeding moms? 0.99

01:34:59.000 I don't think she's taking it.

01:35:02.000 I do think it says something like...

01:35:03.000 I was always under, like, nutrient-ed.

01:35:05.000 I always needed more and more.

01:35:06.000 I think it says if you're nursing, you gotta call your doctor.

01:35:08.000 Oh, okay.

01:35:09.000 But to be honest, like, this is here at the skate facility, and I haven't brought her any.

01:35:15.000 I don't know.

01:35:16.000 Maybe I should ask her if she wants to.

01:35:17.000 I just figure it's like, if you're nursing, she's doing, like, a specific diet as it is.

01:35:21.000 Yeah. But I don't know.

01:35:22.000 Maybe that actually would be pretty good.

01:35:24.000 Anyway, let's grab some of your super chats, my friends.

01:35:28.000 And your rumble rants.

01:35:29.000 And see what you guys have to say about all of this noise.

01:35:32.000 Feel the greens.

01:35:32.000 It's got electrolytes.

01:35:33.000 What the body needs.

01:35:34.000 That's true and correct.

01:35:37.000 Severus Light says, shut it to angry cops and his crack house. 0.99

01:35:40.000 At least you're not moving sandbags without knowing why.

01:35:43.000 What? I have a crack house.

01:35:45.000 It actually ended up on a deposition that I was in.

01:35:48.000 I bought a crack house and I've been flipping it and I'm turning it into a YouTube.

01:35:52.000 Airbnb. Oh, cool.

01:35:54.000 So me and the unsubscribed guys that I hang out with are going to have items in there from different YouTube channels and stuff like that.

01:36:01.000 That's fun.

01:36:01.000 Oh, that's cool.

01:36:02.000 Right on.

01:36:03.000 And then there was a deposition where you said you had a crack house?

01:36:07.000 The 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.

01:36:22.000 And they brought it up and they said, I'm there, I'm sworn in, I'm sitting at the stand.

01:36:27.000 And they're like, you have a crack house.

01:36:29.000 Describe, what is a crack house?

01:36:30.000 I'm like, oh, it's any dilapidated building.

01:36:32.000 And they're trying to make it racial.

01:36:35.000 So they're like, are there any crack houses on the east side of Buffalo where black people live? 0.66

01:36:40.000 And I'm like, there's crack houses everywhere, man. 0.85

01:36:43.000 And they're like, and who likes crack?

01:36:44.000 I was like, everybody.

01:36:46.000 Everybody likes crack.

01:36:48.000 I was in the Family Guy joke where Peter is smoking crack and then Brian goes, Peter, what are you doing?

01:36:53.000 He's like, smoking crack.

01:36:54.000 And he's like, where the hell did you get crack? 0.65

01:36:56.000 And he goes, from Black's. 1.00

01:36:58.000 Yeah, there was a white guy behind Black's Hardware selling it.

01:37:00.000 Yeah. Yeah, Black's Hardware.

01:37:04.000 Concrete Haiti says, with AC in the house, Tim, I'll recommend getting Brandon Herrera, Fat Electrician, Habitual Line Crosser, Eli, Donut, Trout, etc.

01:37:12.000 around, or Swing by the Unsub House.

01:37:15.000 Yes to all of those, but a double yes to Donut Operator because, bro, you gotta come skate.

01:37:20.000 I love Habitual Line Crosser. 1.00

01:37:22.000 His content is so great.

01:37:24.000 We'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.

01:37:32.000 Come on.

01:37:33.000 He's a cop who skates.

01:37:35.000 All right, let's grab some more.

01:37:37.000 Mason Wolfe says Biden's pardons may be revocable due to how broad they are.

01:37:42.000 Not pardoning for a specific crime.

01:37:43.000 I believe that's incorrect.

01:37:45.000 It's just never been tested.

01:37:47.000 You can make the argument.

01:37:48.000 It literally says you can be pardoned for an offense against the United States.

01:37:53.000 Does that mean you have to specify an offense?

01:37:56.000 We haven't required that.

01:37:58.000 I 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.

01:38:17.000 What about universal injunctions, too?

01:38:20.000 I have strong feelings about injunctions.

01:38:23.000 Right. District courts have limited jurisdiction.

01:38:25.000 They have limited geographic jurisdiction, limited subject matter jurisdiction, and they act like they have authority over the entire universe.

01:38:33.000 That's not true.

01:38:34.000 And they keep...

01:38:36.000 Injunctions 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.

01:38:48.000 They're literally described as exceptional remedies.

01:38:51.000 Exceptional remedies, yes.

01:38:53.000 And we're seeing them in every one of these lawfare cases.

01:38:56.000 Scores and scores and scores of them.

01:38:58.000 Temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions being issued.

01:39:01.000 They're supposed to be rare and exceptional.

01:39:03.000 My favorite was when the judge ruled that the military must admit anyone.

01:39:09.000 Did you see this case?

01:39:11.000 No. A judge ruled it was discriminatory and the military must allow all to serve because,

01:39:39.000 quote, all means all.

01:39:41.000 There are, I believe there's over 40 different DSM-5 criteria for not being allowed to enlist in the military.

01:39:47.000 Yeah. Like schizophrenia.

01:39:49.000 Or being dumb. 1.00

01:39:50.000 Too dumb. 1.00

01:39:50.000 This universal injunction meant that if you were a paranoid, schizophrenic, paraplegic, you were allowed to enlist and they had to bring you in. 1.00

01:39:59.000 They're called grenades.

01:40:01.000 You wheel them in.

01:40:04.000 They're all on the front line.

01:40:05.000 That's Darwinism, sir.

01:40:06.000 You drop them in like the 82nd Airborne.

01:40:08.000 Except when they land, they detonate.

01:40:12.000 And no VA disability.

01:40:14.000 If the judge...

01:40:16.000 If 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. 0.63

01:40:27.000 Dude, I got kicked off.

01:40:29.000 So I'm a drill sergeant.

01:40:30.000 And every year I go down to Fort Leonard, Missouri, and I turn civilians into soldiers.

01:40:35.000 And this last time I got kicked off the trail being a drill sergeant after 10 days because all the females went to the side. 1.00

01:40:42.000 I knew it was going to be this.

01:40:43.000 All the females went to the side. 1.00

01:40:45.000 I didn't tell them to do that.

01:40:46.000 The senior drill sergeant was going to give them a pep talk because they were all sad, which happens.

01:40:50.000 Everybody gets sad.

01:40:51.000 They catch the sad.

01:40:52.000 And then they want to go, they should quit.

01:40:54.000 And then we have to motivate them to be like, you're part of a team.

01:40:56.000 And they go, we're part of a team.

01:40:58.000 So they go to the side.

01:41:00.000 What's that?

01:41:00.000 Do the men do this?

01:41:01.000 Oh, yeah.

01:41:02.000 The men, it happens really quickly and they bond quickly after.

01:41:05.000 For the females, it usually takes like a week or two for them to... 1.00

01:41:09.000 Catch the quit and then get over it.

01:41:11.000 So they go to the side.

01:41:12.000 And while they're on the side about to get this motivational speech, I make them do push-ups because they've been unprofessional.

01:41:19.000 They've been smiling at me, giggling.

01:41:22.000 And I go, quit the flirting.

01:41:24.000 If 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. 1.00

01:41:30.000 And if you continue to do this, I'm going to take your money.

01:41:33.000 As in, the United States government is going to take your money because we're going to take your funds, your pay.

01:41:39.000 And 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.

01:41:50.000 All of this is right.

01:41:52.000 But 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. 1.00

01:42:00.000 And sometimes his legs straddled my legs.

01:42:04.000 You're in a formation.

01:42:05.000 I'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.

01:42:14.000 And so after that, like, 10 or 15 minutes, that's what happened.

01:42:18.000 They all complained.

01:42:19.000 I said, Drill Sergeant High is a meanie.

01:42:22.000 And the investigation happened.

01:42:24.000 So then, so someone came to you and told you to get out or what happened?

01:42:29.000 So 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.

01:42:43.000 What had happened was a number of troops had made a complaint, like one or two or three, right?

01:42:47.000 And normally what happens, the right way, is that the first-line leader of the company finds out and they try to solve it.

01:42:52.000 If they can't, they go to the battalion level, which is the next level up.

01:42:55.000 And if they can't, they go to the third level, which is brigade.

01:42:58.000 What 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?

01:43:10.000 And they all went.

01:43:13.000 And so then that's what happened. 0.99

01:43:15.000 It turned into a massive bitch session. 1.00

01:43:18.000 What's the guy's name? 0.99

01:43:19.000 You know I'm talking about.

01:43:20.000 The drill sergeant.

01:43:22.000 The drill sergeant.

01:43:23.000 E. Lee Ermey.

01:43:24.000 Arlie Ermey.

01:43:24.000 We needed him.

01:43:26.000 I love that.

01:43:28.000 You know what I wanted to hear?

01:43:29.000 What's that?

01:43:30.000 I wish your story was something different where they came down and said, which one of you feel that drill sergeant Hyde said something mean?

01:43:36.000 And they raised their hand, get on the ground now!

01:43:38.000 And just doubled the push-ups.

01:43:41.000 That is once the senior drill sergeant or the investigator came up to me and said, You know, hey, this is what happened.

01:43:48.000 It's unfounded.

01:43:49.000 What you did was correct, and they're just being a bunch of babies.

01:43:52.000 Then, I mean, you can't really say because you made a complaint, I'm going to smoke you.

01:43:57.000 But I would find a reason.

01:43:59.000 You should be able to.

01:44:00.000 Yeah, I don't see why not.

01:44:01.000 You wasted everybody's time.

01:44:02.000 You had a false allegation.

01:44:03.000 If you complain and it's false, then we should say, oh, so this allegation is false and unfounded?

01:44:09.000 Okay. 50 push-ups.

01:44:10.000 Yes, Tim, but if we hold people accountable for lying, what about the real people who want to say they could be affected in some way?

01:44:18.000 It was their truth.

01:44:19.000 It was their truth, Tim!

01:44:20.000 And in the army, we all care about individual freedoms!

01:44:24.000 This was during the Biden administration, I'd imagine? 0.99

01:44:28.000 Holy shit, how did you know? 0.93

01:44:30.000 Well, I think, I'm hoping what I hear about Hegseth has been true and correct, and the moves he's making have been good. 0.99

01:44:38.000 I 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.

01:44:54.000 The meme is fear in the military, which is fairly large and a very good way of spreading information.

01:44:58.000 It really doesn't like Hegseth.

01:45:00.000 And I was like, really?

01:45:02.000 Like, yeah, we want to talk to you about all these meme pages and stuff like that and the memes about them.

01:45:05.000 And I'm like, all right, well, send me some of these meme pages and let me see what they're all about.

01:45:10.000 I'm in that sphere.

01:45:11.000 I know who's got the voice.

01:45:13.000 And 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.

01:45:21.000 And, like, the other two examples were, like, accounts with, like, 1,500 followers.

01:45:28.000 And I was like, well, I don't really see what you're saying, but I'll gladly listen to you.

01:45:32.000 Well, that wasn't the answer he wanted.

01:45:33.000 He's never called me again.

01:45:36.000 I'm hoping the woke stuff's getting pushed back.

01:45:39.000 My question for you is, what do these women do? 1.00

01:45:42.000 So I did Engineer OSET, which is one-station unit training.

01:45:46.000 So Combat Arms does OSET, where basic training and their job training are together.

01:45:50.000 They stay in the same barracks with the same drill sergeants the entire time they don't move, which is mainly Combat Arms.

01:45:56.000 So 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...

01:46:06.000 These women? 1.00

01:46:07.000 What's that?

01:46:07.000 These women are supposed to do this?

01:46:08.000 Correct. And you have to carry cratering charges and C4 and other explosives.

01:46:12.000 Why? Honest question.

01:46:13.000 How come everyone I know who tells me a story out of BASIC says exactly what you said about the women?

01:46:20.000 And I mean this sincerely.

01:46:21.000 I'm not trying to drag women. 1.00

01:46:22.000 In your experience, do women tend to behave that way in BASIC training? 1.00

01:46:26.000 Well, Tim, this might shock a lot of people, but men and women are different.

01:46:30.000 There is a female nature. 0.99

01:46:32.000 This is correct and understandable, but...

01:46:35.000 Does that mean the difference includes whinging?

01:46:38.000 Whinging? Good word.

01:46:39.000 I don't know what that means.

01:46:40.000 Complaining. Complaining?

01:46:41.000 Yeah. I just showed my army-ness because I don't know your big words.

01:46:47.000 Females are more sensitive. 1.00

01:46:50.000 And when I say that, I mean in the highs and the lows.

01:46:55.000 If you say something negative, they take it to heart.

01:46:57.000 Much deeper than a male trainee that's 17 years old.

01:47:01.000 However, if you give positive reinforcement and you build them up, they really support each other better than men in some points.

01:47:09.000 They'll group together and try to be a unit a little bit faster.

01:47:13.000 Men, you'll get a lot more head-butting and machismo, which creates competition and is good in its own way. 0.61

01:47:19.000 What I've heard is that in the initial stages of BASIC, the men are all fighting.

01:47:23.000 Yes. But by the end, they've figured out who's in charge.

01:47:26.000 Oh, not even by the end.

01:47:29.000 After 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.

01:47:41.000 I've heard that for women, when they start, they're very nice to each other, but by the end, they're catty and cliquish. 1.00

01:47:46.000 Yes. Because for men, the hierarchy is explicit and desirable and a valuable trait for the women. 1.00

01:47:52.000 They hide.

01:47:53.000 They want to pretend there is no hierarchy.

01:47:55.000 They know there is.

01:47:56.000 Every woman walks into the room and knows if there's a hotter chick than her in the room. 1.00

01:48:00.000 Right. But they pretend that's not.

01:48:01.000 That's why they, on these shows, they say, oh, I'm a 10. I'm a 10. I'm a 10. You're a 10. We're all 10s.

01:48:07.000 Obviously, it's not true.

01:48:08.000 10s are one in a million.

01:48:10.000 But they'll say it as if they mean it, and they mean it in an emotional sense.

01:48:15.000 Let's grab some more of your guys' chats.

01:48:18.000 AK Archer says, prosecute Fauci.

01:48:20.000 Also, I am nominating Brandon Herrera and Richard High for director of the ATF and deputy director of the ATF, respectively.

01:48:26.000 Hey, AC, can you say trunnion three times for me?

01:48:29.000 Love the show, guys.

01:48:31.000 Oh, God.

01:48:32.000 Brandon Herrera makes weapons, and he says trunnion a million times over.

01:48:36.000 And I intentionally psyoped him in my video saying trunnion and acting like I was coming.

01:48:41.000 And every time he says trunnion now, he, like, giggles and can't get through it the first time.

01:48:45.000 I did enjoy Phil shared his forced reset trigger video.

01:48:49.000 I was very much a fan.

01:48:51.000 I haven't seen that one yet.

01:48:52.000 It was a small clip that I watched, but it basically is a machine gun, not a machine gun, you know what I mean?

01:48:58.000 It's almost like if you try to take away our rights, we'll find a way to circumvent them.

01:49:02.000 I love how it's a loophole.

01:49:04.000 So for those that don't know what that is, I'm not a gun expert or anything, but basically, it was one trigger pull, one round.

01:49:11.000 Otherwise, it's automated.

01:49:13.000 And so what happens is...

01:49:14.000 After it fires, it resets the trigger by force with the return of the bolt.

01:49:19.000 So if you hold your finger down, your finger's being pushed forward and then pulling the trigger back just by holding onto it.

01:49:26.000 So it's like a machine gun.

01:49:28.000 It's not going to be a bump stock.

01:49:29.000 It's going to be a force reset trigger.

01:49:30.000 They're going to keep trying to make the laws. 0.96

01:49:33.000 What are they going to end up trying to do?

01:49:35.000 If more than three bullets leave the barrel within a certain amount of time, it's a machine gun now?

01:49:40.000 Yeah, but you can't even do that because you've got speed shooters that are...

01:49:43.000 Exceptional. How about they just abolish all of this BS?

01:49:48.000 Actually, as a cop, how would you feel about that?

01:49:51.000 Like, 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?

01:49:58.000 I'm a constitutionalist.

01:49:59.000 I like it.

01:50:00.000 The problem will sort itself out.

01:50:01.000 Good people will be armed.

01:50:03.000 Bad people won't. 0.98

01:50:04.000 You will be employed for the rest of your life easily because people will, you know, make asses out of themselves. 0.94

01:50:10.000 Nothing will change for bad people.

01:50:11.000 These people who have switches on their Glocks illegally, they're already doing all the illegal things.

01:50:16.000 They're not obeying the gun laws.

01:50:18.000 It's like when people talk about background checks.

01:50:20.000 I'm like, we should have universal background checks.

01:50:22.000 We should have no background checks.

01:50:23.000 We already have background checks.

01:50:24.000 Bad guys don't buy their guns through a background check.

01:50:27.000 They send their girlfriend into the gun store.

01:50:29.000 They buy it out of the trunk of a car.

01:50:31.000 Who? Where?

01:50:33.000 I've never.

01:50:34.000 Sir, Atlanta is not a hotbed for all the firearms that come into my city.

01:50:40.000 I'll have you know that.

01:50:42.000 Do you ever get in trouble for...

01:50:44.000 You're in the military and you're a cop.

01:50:46.000 And you're doing a show where you're being explicit and transparent.

01:50:51.000 Andrew Cuomo had someone in his office that had to watch every single one of my videos.

01:50:55.000 I have a permanent negative checkmark on my career because of Bill de Blasio.

01:51:02.000 Bill de Blasio was a... 1.00

01:51:03.000 Piece of shit. 1.00

01:51:04.000 I imagine there are a lot of people who want to be stopped by you or pulled over or whatever it is you're doing. 1.00

01:51:14.000 They're like, oh, that'd be so cool.

01:51:16.000 I'm pretty easygoing. 1.00

01:51:17.000 I've seen a lot of crazy shit. 0.98

01:51:19.000 So, like, you know, pulling somebody over for speeding, it's like, it's an option for me, or it's a time for me to talk to you. 0.99

01:51:24.000 Hey, how you doing?

01:51:26.000 What'd you doing?

01:51:26.000 Where you going?

01:51:27.000 Crashy? You know, and then as they're cool and we have a good rapport, you're fine.

01:51:32.000 Call people crashy?

01:51:33.000 If they crash.

01:51:34.000 It's like the family guy thing.

01:51:35.000 Oh, I've quoted...

01:51:36.000 What do you call people that speed?

01:51:38.000 Or, like, what do you call people that are...

01:51:40.000 Weirdos. Okay.

01:51:41.000 I go, hey, weirdo, why are you going so fast?

01:51:43.000 And then they look at me like I've got two heads.

01:51:44.000 And I'm like, this is gonna be good.

01:51:46.000 Let's grab some more.

01:51:48.000 St. Miles says, I don't think the guests are catching the point Tim is making.

01:51:52.000 The victim and situation has brought illumination on the national stage of the gang's activity and how a national threat the gang is.

01:52:01.000 No, I caught that.

01:52:02.000 To a degree, yeah.

01:52:03.000 There was a chat that I think someone made.

01:52:07.000 Let me see if I can find it.

01:52:08.000 It's always really hot.

01:52:09.000 Here we go.

01:52:10.000 Here's a couple that I want to read.

01:52:11.000 Michelle 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.

01:52:22.000 I married my first husband because of it.

01:52:24.000 Thank you.

01:52:25.000 You can maintain contact when you have an order of protection?

01:52:29.000 If there's custody disputes.

01:52:30.000 So 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.

01:52:46.000 And sometimes in heavier cases, it's a representative of the family justice system or family courts in New York would have to be there.

01:52:55.000 Yeah, Marilyn, we have conditional.

01:52:57.000 We have peace orders and protective orders, too, that do different things.

01:53:00.000 And if there's kids involved, they can be conditional in the ways that they implement them.

01:53:05.000 Jennifer Kaye says, Tim, I think you're right about the wife of Abrego Garcia being coerced by MS-13.

01:53:11.000 Once they have Garcia, they can use that as leverage to get info about MS-13.

01:53:15.000 Check to see if he was married to Jen when previously arrested.

01:53:19.000 Interesting. Is that a consideration?

01:53:21.000 Like, if she goes to the place and says, he beat me, so they say, okay, we're going to pick him up.

01:53:25.000 Could MS-13 be concerned he'll turn informant or even accidentally give up information on him?

01:53:30.000 They could be concerned.

01:53:31.000 I'm not going to lie, though.

01:53:33.000 Using confidential informants, it's fairly safe.

01:53:37.000 The only time that a confidential informant really gets burned is when they burn themselves. 0.99

01:53:41.000 The first thing that we tell them is, shut up. 0.98

01:53:44.000 Don't tell anybody, including your wife or girlfriend. 0.99

01:53:47.000 Do you normally just talk to them on the phone?

01:53:49.000 A lot of it's in person.

01:53:50.000 And if you talk to them on the phone, I mean, yeah, you can talk to them on the phone.

01:53:53.000 Isn't there any risk of them being found out if they're talking to you in person?

01:53:55.000 Normally, they'll text you first.

01:53:57.000 Well, so before I was in SVU, I worked with the FBI Safe Streets program, which is anti-gang.

01:54:02.000 And so when I had confidential informants, the way that we would talk with one another is literally via cell phone.

01:54:08.000 They had a cell phone.

01:54:09.000 They'd shoot me a text.

01:54:10.000 If it was TextNow app or if it was...

01:54:13.000 You know, iMessage or whatever.

01:54:15.000 They'd shoot me a text and just save me under a different name.

01:54:17.000 They're not going to say, you know, special agent attached to the FBI, Detective Richard High, messaging me, you know.

01:54:23.000 But you hide in plain sight.

01:54:25.000 Then when they look and they're like, special agent FBI, I'd be like, it's a joke for my buddy, man.

01:54:29.000 Oh, yeah.

01:54:29.000 I've called.

01:54:29.000 Oh, it makes sense.

01:54:30.000 I've had guys, like, have me saved in their phone as, like, 007.

01:54:34.000 Boy. Dude.

01:54:36.000 Punk. All right.

01:54:39.000 What do we got going here?

01:54:41.000 Michelle Heim says, I see something happening globally that got exposed when Trump was elected.

01:54:45.000 He's not part of the monarchy lineage and isn't supposed to be president.

01:54:51.000 It's why they keep trying to erase both terms.

01:54:53.000 He's breaking their machine.

01:54:54.000 That's right.

01:54:55.000 That's the liberal economic order.

01:54:57.000 Trump, 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.

01:55:07.000 Correct. The whole culture.

01:55:09.000 I mean, that's why he's going after the universities, too.

01:55:11.000 Right. 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.

01:55:22.000 And Trump is destroying it.

01:55:24.000 So, 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...

01:55:35.000 We're going to control you through debt and financing.

01:55:37.000 And Trump is like, break it.

01:55:38.000 And all these independent agencies that have no legitimacy under our constitutional order, including the Federal Reserve, including the CIA, they're answerable to nobody.

01:55:47.000 Our founders didn't create an Article IV branch of government called independent agencies.

01:55:52.000 And I want to just make sure this is available to all of our listeners.

01:55:54.000 This is the website called education.cfr.org.

01:55:57.000 This is the Council on Foreign Relations.

01:56:00.000 And this is the NGO breaking down for you.

01:56:03.000 What is the liberal world order?

01:56:05.000 Explore 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.

01:56:13.000 In the, I believe it was the late 80s, early 90s, George.

01:56:18.000 We can now begin to see a new world order forming, which birthed the phrase new world order.

01:56:26.000 The media then claimed it was a conspiracy to say that there were powerful world leaders seeking to control the globe.

01:56:34.000 What George H.W. Bush was saying was quite literally, this has existed since the 50s.

01:56:39.000 It exists today, and it's becoming something different.

01:56:43.000 It is not a conspiracy theory.

01:56:44.000 It is real.

01:56:46.000 And it's right here on the CFR's website.

01:56:48.000 You can just read about it.

01:56:49.000 This is what they do.

01:56:50.000 Trump is basically gutting all the mechanisms of the liberal world order.

01:56:53.000 And I love it.

01:56:55.000 I think it's great.

01:56:57.000 Anyway, let's go.

01:57:01.000 We had a good funny one.

01:57:03.000 Let me grab that.

01:57:04.000 Is that what you guys say up there?

01:57:16.000 Yeah, it's like our thing.

01:57:18.000 Buffalo? Yeah, Buffalo.

01:57:19.000 It's Buffalo.

01:57:20.000 Is it like, do they have like a big wing festival up there?

01:57:22.000 Oh yeah, we have a wing festival.

01:57:23.000 I want to go.

01:57:24.000 It's good.

01:57:25.000 I love wings.

01:57:25.000 My brother-in-law's from Buffalo.

01:57:27.000 I have a fire truck that I turn into a tailgating mobile that I take first responders and veterans out.

01:57:32.000 Oh, that's fun.

01:57:33.000 And climb on the back.

01:57:33.000 It's a big dance floor, speakers, bar.

01:57:36.000 Is it like a modern one or like a vintage style?

01:57:38.000 I have three.

01:57:39.000 So I've got a vintage one, like an early 90s one, which is our flagship.

01:57:46.000 Are you fire trucks?

01:57:47.000 What's that?

01:57:47.000 Where do you put three fire trucks?

01:57:49.000 Pole barns.

01:57:51.000 And one of them is parked in my buddy's driveway.

01:57:55.000 Oh, man.

01:57:56.000 That's awesome.

01:57:57.000 All right.

01:57:58.000 We'll grab some more chats here.

01:57:59.000 We got a couple more minutes.

01:58:01.000 Oh, it's jumping on me.

01:58:03.000 Come on, YouTube.

01:58:03.000 Reese Mendocino says, Tiffany has a point.

01:58:07.000 As 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.

01:58:15.000 Yeah. 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.

01:58:26.000 I think there's probably two distinct reactions.

01:58:28.000 But 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.

01:58:35.000 They don't want to destroy everything.

01:58:37.000 They want to destroy the binds.

01:58:39.000 They want to destroy the shackles that are dragging them down.

01:58:46.000 This is not like they're not motivated.

01:58:48.000 They're working harder than any generation ever has.

01:58:51.000 They all have five side hustles and a full-time job.

01:58:53.000 Double employment is a current thing right now, and they can't pay their bills.

01:58:56.000 They're 33 and have six roommates.

01:58:59.000 They don't have hope.

01:59:02.000 And we can't replace them in the population because they can't afford to get married or have kids. 0.99

01:59:06.000 It's going to make it worse and worse.

01:59:08.000 At 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?

01:59:17.000 Gary Stevenson's an economist.

01:59:18.000 He talks about this a lot, too.

01:59:19.000 Probably the same as I'm spending now.

01:59:21.000 If you're a billionaire, maybe you spend $50,000 a week.

01:59:24.000 Maybe you spend $100,000 a week.

01:59:25.000 Let's say you spend a million a week.

01:59:27.000 Your compound interest is still doubling and tripling that constantly.

01:59:31.000 I want to say, actually, it is possible to spend a million a week.

01:59:37.000 But it's extremely difficult to spend a million a week.

01:59:40.000 And if you are spending it, you're not spending it with small businesses in the middle class.

01:59:43.000 It's just getting handed off to another billionaire.

01:59:46.000 We're not reinvesting in the places where we need it.

01:59:48.000 And they're hopeless.

01:59:49.000 The way you spend a million a week, reasonably and legitimately, is like having, I don't know, what would you have?

01:59:56.000 500 employees at a company.

02:00:00.000 So you've got a million dollars in your account.

02:00:04.000 You have 500 employees at your company doing something for you.

02:00:06.000 You're going to pay those labor costs.

02:00:08.000 The idea that there was, I think, did Mr. Beast do this?

02:00:13.000 Something like you've got to spend $10 million, or I don't know if it was Mr. Beast.

02:00:17.000 Probably a million.

02:00:18.000 Right, but it's actually, and it has to be legitimate.

02:00:21.000 It can't be gratuity.

02:00:22.000 And the question is, how would you actually spend that money?

02:00:26.000 And you can't buy property.

02:00:27.000 It's like buying good services that are available to a consumer.

02:00:30.000 How do you spend a million dollars in a week?

02:00:33.000 A lot of people are like, go to a fancy restaurant.

02:00:36.000 Okay, fancy restaurant's gonna be, I don't know, for you and the missus, seven, eight hundred bucks, depending on fancy.

02:00:41.000 Some places you can get upwards of five.

02:00:43.000 If you really want to push it, go to Nusseret and spend five grand on some golden steaks.

02:00:48.000 Come on, keep going.

02:00:50.000 $995,000 left to go.

02:00:52.000 They're not, though.

02:00:53.000 They're just not.

02:00:54.000 No one's spending that much money.

02:00:56.000 It's all so concentrated.

02:00:58.000 Money is a finite resource.

02:01:00.000 I mean, I know we love to print it, but it is a finite resource.

02:01:03.000 And the more it is consolidated, the more it reconstitutes and compounds there.

02:01:07.000 And that has to come from somewhere.

02:01:09.000 It is coming from the working class. 0.98

02:01:12.000 That actually shows it's not finite.

02:01:14.000 Compounding interest, the modern monetary system...

02:01:17.000 Is not finite.

02:01:18.000 It's actually the opposite.

02:01:19.000 That's why it's inflationary.

02:01:20.000 I understand that we can print it.

02:01:21.000 I understand it is inflationary.

02:01:23.000 But the interest of the money you're generating, the money is created upon issuance of debt, meaning that the banks are making money instantly.

02:01:31.000 When 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.

02:01:39.000 I'm pretty sure I could spend about half a million dollars in about five hours on...

02:01:44.000 57th and Madison.

02:01:45.000 That sounds wonderful.

02:01:47.000 Again, 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.

02:01:53.000 When 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?

02:02:04.000 But in normal day-to-day, buying the best of the best, buying the best clothes, even buying cars, it's like...

02:02:12.000 Yeah, it's relatively difficult.

02:02:14.000 Mark Zuckerberg's yacht costs like $13 million a month to maintain.

02:02:18.000 His sub-yacht is another $3 million.

02:02:21.000 Those millions are not going to help the working class.

02:02:24.000 We have to find a way to get money back into the working class. 0.97

02:02:27.000 How is it not helping the working class?

02:02:28.000 You've got the people that are working the ships.

02:02:31.000 You have a very small amount of people working the ships.

02:02:35.000 Most of the corporations that service yachts are huge, giant, multinational corporations.

02:02:40.000 That's not true.

02:02:41.000 Okay. When most yacht usage is daily rentals and they're relatively cheap.

02:02:48.000 Mark Zuckerberg is not renting out his yacht.

02:02:50.000 He sure isn't, but the companies that do repairs and stuff, it's mostly small businesses.

02:02:55.000 So we've got Annapolis.

02:02:59.000 You know, hour and a half, two hours away.

02:03:00.000 Yeah, the yacht shows this week.

02:03:01.000 I'm going.

02:03:02.000 Yeah, you just rent a thousand bucks, rent a yacht.

02:03:06.000 And you got it for the day.

02:03:07.000 You know, maybe depending on the size, if you want it.

02:03:10.000 So most of the yachts are just consignment.

02:03:14.000 I don't want to get bogged down in this one thing.

02:03:16.000 I'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.

02:03:28.000 My point is they're not going to Iowa and spending it with a bunch of farmers.

02:03:32.000 We need the working class to have money come back into the working class, and it's not. 0.99

02:03:37.000 Well, so with like yacht service, like any other service, you're going to have ancillary services.

02:03:42.000 You're going to have a guy who makes 20 bucks an hour cleaning.

02:03:45.000 You're going to have a crew that serve food.

02:03:47.000 You're going to have general repairs.

02:03:49.000 Yes, he has a 26-person crew.

02:03:50.000 That is true.

02:03:51.000 Right, but like...

02:03:52.000 For $300 million.

02:03:54.000 The truth is the world is made for poor.

02:03:56.000 The world is made for the poor is the saying.

02:04:00.000 People have this perception that the world is made for the wealthy, and it's literally not because there's very few of them.

02:04:04.000 So... Even the highest and most expensive things are not as expensive as people think they are.

02:04:09.000 Certainly, there are tricks.

02:04:11.000 Certainly, we hear about on TV the Kardashians and the lifestyle they have.

02:04:14.000 But usually, luxury, as we perceive it, is fake luxury, intending to appear like it's for wealthy people.

02:04:23.000 I can't help but wonder how much wealthier Americans will be if they're not competing for scarce resources like housing, jobs, healthcare, education.

02:04:36.000 Indeed. 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.

02:04:48.000 If poor people feel that there are people who live better than them, whether it's true or not, is when you get revolt.

02:04:54.000 And the real concern with wealth inequality is power consolidation, not luxury.

02:05:03.000 The idea that a billionaire has Elon Musk $400 billion or whatever literally means nothing.

02:05:11.000 No, it's just stocks and stuff.

02:05:13.000 Even if he had $400 billion in the bank in cash, meaningless.

02:05:17.000 The 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.

02:05:22.000 The 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.

02:05:32.000 Among the general people, wealth inequality functionally means nothing.

02:05:36.000 The buying power of the dollar is based upon the economy, which is the people's willingness to buy and trade with each other.

02:05:44.000 If Elon Musk had $500 billion in cash in the bank and he doesn't spend it, nothing happens.

02:05:51.000 Nothing changes.

02:05:51.000 The guy still is going to spend money with his bakery.

02:05:54.000 The 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.

02:06:09.000 It's basically a function of can people exchange with each other in a well-willed machine.

02:06:13.000 A billionaire having money doesn't change or have any effect on that.

02:06:16.000 If 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.

02:06:25.000 I 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.

02:06:33.000 No, 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.

02:06:41.000 A fine standard of living.

02:06:42.000 A standard of living is putting food on your table and a roof over your head and basic clothes from a thrift store on your kid's back.

02:06:47.000 They can't do it right now.

02:06:48.000 Well, they can do that in Cuba and they're far more poor than us.

02:06:51.000 Right. So this is the point.

02:06:53.000 If people believe they have no method to achieve a basic standard of living, no matter how—that's the reality, though.

02:07:02.000 This isn't a belief.

02:07:03.000 That is the reality of our world right now. 0.99

02:07:04.000 America has fat, homeless people. 0.81

02:07:06.000 The bigger concern is that Gen Z is cut out from the market.

02:07:09.000 So we have a generation coming into adulthood who can't buy houses.

02:07:13.000 And millennials, half of them.

02:07:14.000 Indeed. If they didn't get in at exactly the right line in the sand, they have no path.

02:07:19.000 But this is not wealth inequality.

02:07:20.000 It's generational disparity.

02:07:22.000 So the boomers... 0.98

02:07:23.000 But we're not talking about...

02:07:25.000 When we refer to wealth disparity, we're talking about oligopoly.

02:07:28.000 We're talking about Ukraine.

02:07:30.000 We'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.

02:07:39.000 And the people are like...

02:07:40.000 In Ukraine, for instance, before the war...

02:07:43.000 It was a handful of like 16 people that literally owned all property.

02:07:47.000 And the crazy thing was, a condo, a two-bedroom condo in Kiev, where the average income was $400 a month, was $300,000 US.

02:07:58.000 No one who worked in Kiev could afford to buy that.

02:08:00.000 Who owned it?

02:08:01.000 The oligarchs.

02:08:02.000 Few people.

02:08:03.000 That is what people typically refer to as wealth inequality that leads to revolt, because you can see...

02:08:10.000 These small group of people literally own everything and there's no movement and you'll never be able to afford it.

02:08:14.000 In the United States, we have something similar but still different.

02:08:19.000 Boomers own 70% of boomers own homes. 0.99

02:08:25.000 And I think Gen X is high 60s, millennials are half, and Gen Z is like nothing.

02:08:33.000 So this system, what we're experiencing right now, is largely that boomers own Yep. 0.99

02:08:41.000 And corporations, which is a huge problem.

02:08:43.000 They're acquiring up to 46% in most major metropolitan areas right now.

02:08:47.000 The issue for boomers is, if you own the house, just rent it out. 0.96

02:08:52.000 And so Gen Z can't afford it because a boomer can buy a house from another boomer.

02:08:57.000 And I'm not blaming all boomers because it's literally not all.

02:08:59.000 It's largely wealthier, older folks.

02:09:01.000 But boomers own 60% of all corporate equities. 0.91

02:09:04.000 Gen X owns like 20. Millennials own like 6. And Gen Z owns none.

02:09:09.000 None. They own debt.

02:09:10.000 None. That's all they own.

02:09:11.000 And so do most of the millennials.

02:09:12.000 So what's going to happen as, you know, and I know we're going over it.

02:09:15.000 I'll say this.

02:09:17.000 When boomers start dying, we are going to see a massive wealth crash in this country. 0.97

02:09:23.000 The government's going to have to issue a bailout of some sort.

02:09:25.000 It's going to be...

02:09:25.000 How would that crash happen?

02:09:27.000 So boomers own multiple properties. 0.94

02:09:30.000 Right now, there's a house not too far away from here that a few years ago, four years ago, was $200,000.

02:09:36.000 It's $500,000 now.

02:09:37.000 And it's because people will pay it.

02:09:39.000 So a boomer owns a home and they die.

02:09:42.000 That home is then given to their millennial or Gen Z children.

02:09:49.000 Boomers are going to die at 79. That means their child will be 60 or, you know, 57. Yeah, they'll be the Gen Xers. 1.00

02:09:56.000 57-year-old millennial is going to be like, I'm not moving back to northern Maine where my parents lived.

02:10:03.000 So they'll tell their lawyer, put it on the market.

02:10:06.000 The lawyer will put it on the market and say, when your parents owned it, the estimate was $1.2 million, right?

02:10:13.000 Because this is going to be in 20 years.

02:10:15.000 Who can afford $1.2 million?

02:10:17.000 Corporations. Yes.

02:10:19.000 So one of two things will happen.

02:10:21.000 The corporations will come in and just buy it because they're getting free Fed money.

02:10:25.000 Yep. Or the crash happens when the guy who owns it says, put it on the market for 1.2.

02:10:32.000 A week later, the agent says, not a single inquiry.

02:10:35.000 And then put it up at 1. I don't care.

02:10:37.000 I don't want to live there.

02:10:38.000 I just want the money.

02:10:38.000 Not a single inquiry.

02:10:40.000 Okay. 900?

02:10:42.000 Not a single inquiry.

02:10:44.000 Six. We're getting some interest from corporations.

02:10:48.000 Younger 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.

02:10:56.000 Gen Z, who's now in their 40s, can only afford a $300,000 house. 1.00

02:11:00.000 So 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. 0.99

02:11:06.000 Right now...

02:11:08.000 Boomers are trading in properties based upon the wealth they hold. 1.00

02:11:12.000 But the wealth they hold is largely in real estate and corporate equities.

02:11:15.000 When 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. 0.98

02:11:25.000 But 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.

02:11:34.000 That's something that was happening with homes in golf course communities.

02:11:38.000 I was going to ask about Canada because I know that Canada's housing market is a train wreck.

02:11:44.000 Right 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.

02:11:57.000 Right now...

02:11:58.000 Systematically, it's between 11% and 15% throughout the United States.

02:12:02.000 But 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.

02:12:15.000 Do you think that's going to push people out of the cities and back into suburbia?

02:12:18.000 No, they're going to buy it everywhere.

02:12:19.000 The point is they're creating a renting class.

02:12:22.000 They're creating a feudal class.

02:12:25.000 You will owe nothing and be happy class.

02:12:27.000 But that's going to be an instant revolt.

02:12:29.000 That's the result.

02:12:31.000 That revolt is happening now.

02:12:32.000 That's not an instant revolt.

02:12:33.000 It's a slow boil that is boiling.

02:12:35.000 I left New York so I could buy a house.

02:12:38.000 It's common everywhere right now.

02:12:40.000 I've worked on cases in California where they have a 6,000 square foot house, but they've got seven families living in the house.

02:12:45.000 Each family gets a bedroom.

02:12:47.000 Wow. My friends, we do have to go.

02:12:49.000 That seems bad.
