Need to Know News (16 November 2021) TEXAS TUESDAY with Joe Olson and Michael Ivey
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is Jim Fetzer in Madison, Wisconsin, where once again we have a Texas Tuesday with Joe Olson in Houston and Michael Ivey, formerly of Fort Worth, now in Asheville, North Carolina.
We're here to bring you all the news you need to know.
Some of the stories are a source of great concern.
Glenn Greenwald, who is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, has spoken about the eerie similarities
between the U.S. government and the U.S. government.
government's excessive actions after the 9-11 terror attacks and the Capitol riot earlier this year.
Those who question measures taken in the name of combating terrorism have been treated as terrorist sympathizers.
They were in the months following 9-11, where today things have simmered down.
I think you can challenge the official 9-11 account and not receive massive censorship.
In fact, my books on JFK and 9-11 have not been censored, unlike those on Sandy Hook, the Boston bombing, Orlando, Dallas, Charlottesville, Greenwald told Chris Hedges on RT the same argument is being made now by the meat against anyone who challenges the government's response at January 6.
Exactly the same thing is happening now, noting that they're targeting mostly poor and impoverished and lawyerless people, similar to what was experienced by many Muslims who faced accusations or wound up in Guantanamo Bay.
I mean, this is embarrassingly bad.
Greenwald said the House Committee investigating the riot, they haven't indicted anyone on the grandiose claims of, you know, the insurrection and so forth, calling the actual investigation a spectacle to feed a hungry liberal mob.
Similar to now we have this indictment of Steve Bannon for failing to answer a subpoena.
Congressman's involvement helps to vilify those accused as a supplement to the Justice Department's already grossly improper actions.
They've been taking the rioters or alleged rioters into custody, denied bail, faced harsh condition in prison, I mean, I think we have here even a denial of habeas corpus among our most basic rights.
Another striking similarity is the FBI's involvement, where many domestic terrorist plots foiled in the months following 9-11 involved FBI agents and informants.
Good question.
To what extent did the FBI have advanced knowledge?
Many of the ringleaders have not been charged, while numerous nonviolent offenders have been.
And, of course, we know some of these guys were indeed FBI.
Where this latest incident, by the way, of taking Those who were incarcerated out of the jail on stretchers appears to have been for the abusive use of mace and pepper spray in a confined quarter which could have a seriously deleterious health effects and wins where some suspect it was because they were protesting inhumane conditions in the jail.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, well, it's amazing.
They go after Bannon for contempt of Congress for a phony-bloney trumped up FBI and CIA
false flag attack against the Capitol.
But Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress in 2012 for his fast and furious shipping 2,200 arms to Mexico
without notifying the Mexican government responsible for thousands of deaths of politicians,
law enforcement, and civilians in Mexico.
Journalists.
And then we have Lewis Lerner, who in 2015 was held in contempt of Congress for targeting Tea Party
groups and True the Vote, in particular, Kathleen Engelbrecht.
And so it's a double standard of unbelievably stinky proportions.
Here you have two Obama-era criminals that were in contempt of Congress,
and the DOJ did nothing about them.
And now you've got Bannon, who's in contempt of Congress for having no role at all in January 6.
And it's just a fishing expedition.
They're just trying to dig up whatever they can to throw more dirt and more smoke and wave more mirrors.
It's a disgusting kangaroo court on all sides.
And I'm glad that he stood up to them, because he can force them to have to provide some testimony
and get some cross-examination and discovery.
But it's a rotten process.
Nice points, Michael.
I Yeah, all it would take.
We all know there's so much videotape and there's so many honest testimonies concerning January the 6th that all it would take to blow the whole January 6th false flag apart is a real Justice Department.
And the fact that it's not being done, to my mind, is exhibit A, that we do not have a real Justice Department under another Zionist Jew, Merrick Garland.
And turns out Garland is not his birth name.
I forgot what his name was, but like many of that ilk, he changed his name so it wouldn't be so obvious.
And now I understand that there have been, what, 50 or more innocent, no, I forgot what the number is, but these innocent people that have been arrested for being there for 90, no more than that now, over six months with no court date set.
Relative to Glenn Greenwald, I've been impressed with him ever since he got... didn't he get fired from the Guardian?
Didn't he work for the Guardian?
Which is sort of the English version of the New York Times.
They're the leftist evil empire propaganda rag.
Par excellence in England, and as soon as he left the Guardian, he's been speaking the truth on a much more pervasive basis than he ever dared to before, so I got to give him credit for that.
Oh, I agree completely.
I think Glenn Greenwald has been doing a great job, and he's frequently featured on Tucker.
Meanwhile, the Durham Probe exposes the media's shielding of the Russiagate's democratic origins.
We're getting somewhere.
For years it was known as Russiagate, a vast conspiracy to tie Donald Trump to the Kremlin, allegedly endangering our great nation.
Taking a closer look, however, it's better understood as Obamagate, a conspiracy of Democrats to concoct the idea Trump was a Russian surrogate, using any number of clandestine and kooky methods, including A gossip dressed up as a dossier.
Now the DOJ continues to explore the reality of Russiagate's origins.
It appears though some high-level Democrats will have some explaining to do.
This is because John Durham is actually following through.
Last week, special counsel Durham, appointed by the Trump administration to investigate the origins of the Russia investigation, charged Steele subsource Igor Danchenko over false statements made to the FBI.
The indictment shed light on Danchenko's ties to Democrats, casting doubt on the validity of the media's past coverage of the dossier.
The Denchenko indictment doubles as a critique of several media outlets that covered Steele's reports in 2016 and after its publication in BuzzFeed in January 2017.
CNN, MSNBC, Mother Jones, the McClatchy paper chain, various pundits showered credibility.
They claimed it was absolutely authentic.
Even though they have no corroboration and found other topics to cover when a forceful debunking arrived in December of 2019 via report from the DOJ Inspector General Horowitz.
When it comes to the selective reporting of Rachel Maddow and others, it's just absolutely stunning.
Just as Durham can't use the dossier to deflect from the larger Trump-Russia tableau, however, people such as Rachel Maddow and others can't use the Trump-Russia tableau to deflect from their coverage of the dossier.
A reckoning is years overdue.
But with Biden in the White House, will the Durham probe face a reckoning of its own?
I had my own book on the matter, Exposing the Russia Hoax, published years ago, a short book, but what Durham's uncovering certainly corresponds to what I had found in my own investigations.
Joe, your thoughts?
It's amazing how the Clintons were able to degrade the political dialogue in this nation.
First of all, we had Slick Willy with his changing Lewinsky into a verb, and his excuse was, Eatin' ain't cheatin'.
And then we had Reptillery, who introduced the concept of golden showers into the common dialogue.
I mean, most people would never think about doing that, wouldn't want to do it, pretty much repulsed by it, but now we got kindergartners going, and he TT'd on her!
It's like, okay, that's great.
And then we have Arkansas, and we've got at least a hundred victims of Arkansas by these two clowns.
And let's just mention one of them that had a whole lot to do with the 2016 election.
His name was Seth Rich.
Yes, absolutely right.
Seth was taken out because he leaked the files, the email from the DNC.
William Benny confirmed it was done too rapidly to have been distant hacking and in the Eastern time zone.
Michael, your thoughts?
Yeah, I don't have a lot to add on this subject.
What was the name of the special prosecutor that kept this case open for the entire Trump presidency?
Mueller.
Mueller, Taylor, Mueller.
Robert Mueller.
Total.
Robert Mueller.
And then at the end of it, he had nothing?
You know, people who have paid attention to something like this, it's like the January 6th thing.
It's so easy to see, so my hope is that people who pay attention to what's going on understands that, like that byline to your book, Jim, says, how the deep state and the media conspired to frame a sitting president.
So, that's the truth right there.
Yeah, spot on, Michael.
Exactly right.
Meanwhile, a Soros-funded DA in San Francisco, no less, is facing a recall.
This is pretty fascinating.
This is a guy named Chesa Bowden who doesn't like police.
One is DA race with funding from George Soros.
He was actually brought up by Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn, who of course were actually sent to prison for terrorism.
He was the Communist Working Family Party choice for DA, ran under a form of closing jails.
But apparently he's too far left even for San Franciscans.
Today the Department of Election certified the petition to recall District Attorney Chessa Bowden contains a sufficient number of valid signatures.
The petition is successful.
So we have now the California Department of Election certifying that there will be a recall, forcing the progressive prosecutor to defend his post next summer.
An earlier petition to recall failed to garner enough signatures, but this one has succeeded.
Bones blasted recall efforts in a statement to Fox.
We saw the exact same thing happening with Governor Newsom's recall.
We're confident San Francisco voters will reject this Republican-funded and endorsed effort as well.
They say it's an attempt to reverse the reforms he's enacted to keep us safe and make the criminal justice system fairer.
But this will not stop him from continuing to work for all San Franciscans.
The allusion to the recall for the governor, of course, is completely appropriate since they manufactured its defeat by allowing Californians to print their own ballots at home.
Bowdoin has refused to prosecute crimes as freed violent offenders and killers who've gone on to kill again.
For example, earlier this year, a seven-month-old baby boy was murdered after Bowdoin let his killer go free twice after domestic abuse allegations.
I mean, I think there's going to be a penalty to pay here.
I have no doubt that Kenosha prosecutor also was funded by Soros and we got that in St.
Louis and Chicago.
Joe, you've made that point several times in the past.
Your thoughts?
Yeah, Ayers and Dorn were convicted terrorists that actually resulted in bombings killing people.
They were part of a group that bombed the inside of the Capitol, did far more damage than happened on January 6th.
That was the Weather Underground.
They are also heavily involved in the SDS Students for a Democratic Society.
The DA in San Francisco has contributed to the place being an absolute dung-covered and junky-needled sidewalk city, and business closures are rampant there, along with what looks like about half the police department and the other public workers.
are going to walk off the job over the required vaccine mandate.
So we're going to have a purge in San Francisco whether they like it or not.
It'll be from the the COVID cootie jab killing or from people just having a gutful of this type of dictatorial Marxist indoctrination and and destruction.
The beautiful city.
Been to San Francisco dozens of times.
Loved the place.
Always thought the people there were a little weird.
Now they're really weird.
Oh yeah, in the past, San Francisco has been admired as perhaps the most beautiful city in the world.
Michael, your thoughts?
Yeah, I agree with all of that.
San Francisco, from everything that I understand, is in a complete meltdown.
I have a couple of friends here who bailed out three or four years ago, who used to live there or in the immediate vicinity.
And like Joe said, it's just melting down with trash and shit on the streets and they're getting messages from their leaders that they're releasing prisoners back on the streets and to exercise tolerance of crime and muggings and Stuff like that.
I'm surprised that there's that many people who are conservative that might recall this guy, this Soros-funded guy, and something that came to mind when he was exposed as being basically a communist Soros-funded guy is we've been talking a lot lately about the coming anniversary of the JFK assassination coming up in one week and his famous secret society speech and the wording in that speech where he talked about the ruthless conspiracy that relied on infiltration
Instead of invasion, and we see that so much in spades now the infiltration of guys like that to our society that are doing nothing but taking it down.
Nice, nice points.
Yes.
The first of several JFK specials I've just done are now available.
The first on my Bitchute channel, Jim Fetzer, for those who want to check it out.
Meanwhile, a BLM leader threatens bloodshed and riots if the DC cops return to policing the city of New York.
The mayor-elect, Eric Adams, who was himself a former cop—I mean, this is a good guy—met with the head of Black Lives Matter, a guy named Hawk Newsome, behind closed doors.
It appears they were actually yelling at one another.
It got very heated.
According to a report devolved into a shouting match where the incoming mayor is a former police captain, Adams disregarded the threat from BLM, called it toothless, said it would have no bearing on policymaking.
He said, that's silly, and I think New Yorkers should not allow rhetoric like that.
The idea that the city would be burned down if they go back to policing the city.
The city is not going to be a city of riots.
It's not going to be a city of burning.
It's going to be a city where we're going to be safe.
There's no surprise on what I said when I ran to become the mayor of the city of New York.
I said I was going to reinstitute an anti-gun unit in plain clothes.
Voters voted on that.
I stated what I was going to do.
What I said on the campaign trail is what you're going to see in City Hall, and I'm not backing away from that.
He is a good man, Bernie Carrick.
Good for him, I agree.
He knows what has to be done to turn New York City around.
He cannot cower or break down in the face of terroristic threats.
Outside of the Borough Hall, Newsom accused Adams of betraying the BLM movement and not paying attention to their demands.
If he thinks they're going to go back to the old ways of policing, then we are going to take to the streets again.
There will be riots.
There will be fire.
There will be bloodshed because we believe in defending our people.
There's a reason why he called us last year seeking to explain why he would be the best candidate for black New York.
He knows black people and brown people respect our work.
He stood with BLM when it was politically convenient, but now it serves him better to be pro-cop.
My friends, the BLM New York Chapter co-founder Marxist Sock Newson creating a New York City anarchistic state.
He claims if the new mayor gets tough on crime, there will be bloodshed, riots, and burning.
Unbelievable.
In an uber blue city like New York, Eric Adams could have been described as the most moderate of the Democrat candidates who ran.
He describes himself as progressive.
He was clear he was not in favor of defunding the police, but was in favor of common sense reform.
I don't believe anyone who resides in New York was in favor of defunding the police, except for the criminals who don't want the cops to be around to catch them.
Adam said he also planned to offer a seat on the mayoral committee to someone from BLM, but a seat at the table to actually discuss the issues at hand might not be among their demands.
Obviously, they want to run the city and they don't want a mayor who's going to interfere.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, well, what you subsidize, you get more of.
So when you decide that you don't want to prosecute low-level crime, you get lots more low-level crime.
When we were talking about the Bay Area, I knew there was somebody important that I wanted to mention.
The old phrase is that, what's the difference between a liberal and conservative?
One mugging.
And in Oakland, former Senator Barbara Boxer was mugged in a parking garage in a highly secure area.
So it's like, hey, you turn loose the little criminals, they'll come and knock on the big criminals.
So couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.
Who knows?
Maybe now Barbara Boxer's decided to become a conservative.
Wait for it to happen to Nancy Pelosi.
And the other point, of course, is they are allowing, legalizing shoplifting up to $1,000.
So they're having gangs come into stores and just cleaning them out and walking out unimpeded.
I mean, it's just a disgrace.
How do they think anyone can stay in business?
You multiply up to $1,000 shoplifting 100 times, you're up to $100,000 in shoplifting.
lifting 100 times you're up to $100,000 in job lifting no company no store can survive
that Michael.
Yeah, that's what I was referring to earlier talking about the meltdown in San Francisco.
I actually was mugged in New York in 1976, and I had to run for my life from a young, very well-built black man who was carrying about a three-foot two-by-four with nails in one end.
So, I've always been happy that I was a fast guy back then.
You know, just like San Francisco that we just talked about, New York City is another totally liberal Democrat city that's in a state of meltdown, that's based on their politically correct, totally Total toleration of things that should not be tolerated.
And on the other hand, denigration of the police force, who generally would be in the position of holding the line against the chaos of lawlessness and crime.
So, you know, it's like two plus two equals four.
If you encourage crime and hobble the police, guess what you're going to get?
I just got to share my first visit to New York City when I was 15 years old and headed for a bicycle tour of Europe.
And I was in Times Square.
This was in like 1956.
And I went by a bar and wandered in and they had a strip show going on.
I mean, it was quite a revelation.
The town seemed to me to be pretty tranquil at that point in time.
I mean, I didn't feel unsafe, but I did have an opening as was the entire trip to there being a whole world out there beyond the confines of South Pasadena.
No, there we go.
Let's do honorable mention on another Democratic hellhole, and that would be Chicago, where they have the Windy City Shooting Gallery.
Moving targets, no range fee, open 24-7.
No range fee.
Yeah, you can come in.
You can just blast them wherever you step out the front door.
You can just start blasting whenever you want.
Crazy.
Unbelievably crazy.
And there again, half their police force is fixing to walk off over the jab too, so.
Yes, there's a lot going on here, isn't there?
Unbelievable.
Meanwhile, truth.
If you think an 18-year-old is too young to own a rifle, but a 16-year-old is mature enough to vote, a 14-year-old is old enough to get an abortion without parental consent, and a 3-year-old is mature enough to decide their own gender, then you are the problem.
Well said.
Meanwhile, Illum recalls COVID-19 home tests for potentially false positive test results.
But you see, that's all you get for many of these tests.
They're all false positives.
The FDI identified this as a Class 1 recall, the most serious type.
Use of these tests can cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
This is a home test, the Allume COVID-19 Home Test.
Product code lines, the dates of distribution.
It's an antigen test that detects proteins from the COVID virus from a nasal sample in people two years of age or older.
It's available without a prescription for those with or without symptoms.
It's an at-home test using swab samples taken from further up inside the nose, but not as deep as to reach the back of the throat, where a health professional collects a sample.
I hate those.
I don't know why they're necessary at all, since sputum ought to suffice.
The home test uses an analyzer that connects with a smartphone app to show how to perform the test.
The FDA issued an emergency use authorization on December 15, 2020.
Authorize a revision on February 11 to allow emergency use of the home test.
Reason for the recall?
They have a higher than acceptable false positive test result, which means you ought to recall every PCR test 100%.
The reliability of negative results is not affected.
A false positive shows a person has a virus when they do not and could lead to Delayed diagnosis or treatment for the actual cause of the person's illness, further spread of the virus when presumed positive or grouped into cohorts, receiving unnecessary COVID treatment from a health care provider such as antiviral treatment, convalescent plasma,
Or monoclonal antibody treatment, which I have had, by the way, which can result in side effects, disregard for recommended precautions, including vaccination, isolation.
I mean, it's just fascinating.
There have been 35 reports of false positives sent to the FDA, but no Deaths reported.
What to do?
Remove the affected product.
Quarantine the affected product.
Contact the sales rep for instructions on disposal.
Complete and send an acknowledgement form.
Send a recall letter, blah blah.
Immediately notify them.
Contact your health care provider if you received a positive test result using one of the affected lots and you did not receive a positive result from a different test at the time.
How to recognize the affected test?
Well, there you can see right there from the package.
I'm really kind of puzzled about this in a way, because almost all of the test results have been false positives from the PCR.
So, Joe, what do you make of this?
Well, if you want a pandemic and you don't have a disease, what you need is a whole lot of positive tests.
Excellent.
Yeah.
The FDA approved PCR tests are void after January 1st of this year because they have way too many false positives and they don't have a backup test.
One reason to not take those things is if they have ethylene oxide, they also have nanofibers, which are a questionable medical value to stick up inside your cribriform plate.
Then we also have the Emergency Use Authorization for the three jabs in America, which would be Pfizer, Modena, and J&J, and their altered kitty jab, which is made by Pfizer, which has been given EUA and never been tested with a different set of ingredients than the ones that they're already experimenting on us.
So, and let's just add The fact that in Europe, where AstraZeneca is one of the major suppliers, so far they've had over 30,000 dead and two and a half million severe complications.
And that's on the Eudra, E-U-D-R-A, vigilance website.
So it's official government statistics from the EU.
And I also want to mention tonight, Coast to Coast AM is having Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
And he's talking about his new book, which has just been released,
called The Real Anthony Fauci.
He's got criminal evidence on this guy going back decades, and I'm sure he's backing it up with a lot of evidence
that has been provided by Judy Makovich, Dr. David Martin, and Karen Kingston.
So it ought to be a great program.
It's the first segment tonight in Central.
It's midnight to 2 a.m.
California.
It's 2 to 10 till midnight.
So if you can, watch or listen to Coast to Coast tonight.
And it looks like we all need to be buying a copy of RFK's book and doing a book review next week.
Well, this is where Coast to Coast can do a real public service by putting on a marvelous person who is really concerned with public welfare, like Bobby Kennedy Jr.
I so admired his father, and this kid is a chip off of the block.
I mean, I'm impressed with him tremendously, Michael.
Yeah, I think I mentioned before that I've heard RFK Jr.
called the Kennedy they forgot to kill.
They affected his throat, Michael, so he couldn't be a viable candidate.
Oh, you think that was an intentional thing to affect his throat?
100%.
You know, back in August is when the CDC released that statement about the discontinuing part of the PCR test, and I've heard that interpolated as saying that they were They're not going to stop using the PCR test, but that's not what that statement said.
They're going to continue to use the PCR methodology, which is totally false.
What they're doing is announcing that they were changing the reference samples, the sequences that they were using for the PCR test to identify, which they don't know in the first place whether it has any relation to any real virus.
And that's also the case with these home COVID tests.
And the guy who really nails this whole thing about the tests is Dr. Tom Cowan.
He's discussed on numerous occasions how people keep talking about false positives or false negatives But in fact, there are no false positives, and there are no false negatives, because the entire thing is fraudulent.
There's no real reference sequences for any virus that's been isolated and proven to cause the set of diseases, a set of symptoms that have come to be called COVID.
And also, like Joe pointed out, this is another thing that they implemented as a result of emergency use authorization, which simply means that they had something that would fool people and they wanted to implement it without proper scientific testing as to whether it actually worked or not.
So they put all of this stuff in under emergency use authorization.
Yeah, those are just excellent points, Michael.
Excellent.
Meanwhile, we have the appellate court reaffirming its stay on Biden's workplace vaccine, citing severe risk.
This is wonderful.
Actually, I think it has been made permanent.
The federal appellate court has reaffirmed its decision.
They've ordered the U.S.
Labor Department Occupational Safety and Health Administration to take no steps to implement or enforce the mandate until further court order.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxson, a vocal critic of the workplace vaccine mandate, lauded the court's decision on Twitter.
Citing Texas compelling arguments, the Fifth Circuit has delayed OSHA's unconstitutional and illegal private business vaccine mandate.
We want litigation will continue, but this is a massive victory for Texas and for freedom from Biden's tyranny and lawlessness.
You know, there was a time when I thought that was hyperbolic language, but it's exactly accurate.
Actually, it's a moderate statement about what's been going on here.
At Biden's direction, OSHA should have ruled earlier requiring employers with 100 or more workers to ensure they're fully vaxxed.
By January 4th, businesses that did not comply faced thousands in fines for each case.
It prompted legal challenges from at least 27 states and other companies.
The Fifth Circuit granted a temporary stay on November 6.
In its reaffirmation Friday, they said the mandate exposes petitioners to severe financial risk, threatens to decimate their workforces and business prospects.
It's good.
I think we're seeing the end of the mandate here.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, there was a woman that worked for a subcontractor of FDA called Ventivia in Texas.
They had three locations.
They experimented on a thousand Texans.
They forged documents.
They had really sloppy research.
She worked for a company for two weeks and she said, this is a complete nightmare.
So she notified the FDA in September of 2020.
She was fired by the company.
The FDA, not only did they not do anything about it, they turned around and awarded Ventivia contracts to study pregnant women and children.
And then recently, she submitted her information to British Medical Journal.
They vetted it for over a month.
On November 2nd, they issued a report.
Whistleblower Blows the cover on Pfizer jab irregularities.
And I'll put the exact title in the British Medical Journal article on the comment sections below.
And my name is Faux Science Slayer.
So if you're not looking for Joe Olson, that's what you'll find the comments under.
And surprisingly enough, Texas has, the State Department of Health has a Texas expert vaccine allocation panel.
And on November 5th, which was three days after this BNJ article came out, They approved the Pfizer jab for five-year-olds and up statewide.
So we have a state health department that has no investigatory ability, no ability to question safety or efficacy on anything that the FDA has.
All they're interested in is who's going to get the contracts to distribute these drugs and which is going to go to Walgreens and CVS.
Absolutely shameful.
I need Ken Paxton to go over there and start busting some heads at the D-S-H-S because it's a criminal organization and all four of you clowns that are in the state legislature that are on that committee, you're going to resign because you are unqualified to make any decisions about health.
I've checked the background of all of you.
You have nothing in the way of science education and nothing in the way of health education and you're improperly placed in a state agency where your absolute negative effect on the health of the citizens of Texas will not be tolerated any longer.
You hear that?
Well said, Joe.
Michael?
That was well said.
I just take a little bit of heart and optimism from a ruling like this because it's a very good sign that at least our entire court system hasn't been subverted, you know, kind of hearkening back to what I said earlier about JFK's prescient statements about the use of infiltration to overtake a country.
We see it so much in the court system that rulings like this almost come as a surprise these days.
We've seen John Roberts flip-flop on Obamacare.
We saw the Supreme Court just refuse to take those challenges to the Uh, to the 2020 election, um, and there were all the specific, I want to call them Siam name judges through which all the legal challenges were funneled in the aftermath of 9-11.
So, uh, you know, we've got a compromised court system and it's, uh, an optimistic thing for me to see some part of it that's not compromised.
Oh, I couldn't agree more, Michael.
I think that's exactly right.
Some parts of the legal system are not yet corrupted, thank God.
Meanwhile, the Rittenhouse trial judge, who appears to me to be a man of great integrity, is going to allow the jury to consider that Kyle Rittenhouse might have provoked the attack.
The prosecution is trying to argue that just because he brought a weapon there to defend himself that he forfeited the right to self-defense, which is about as absurd a claim as it could make.
It means everyone who has a concealed carry permit and brings a weapon with them with a concealed carry has forfeited their right to self-defense.
The whole purpose of having the weapon is to provide for your self-defense.
The judge explained to Kyle that some findings from the bench, you're willing to, by having lesser included offense, you're raising the risk of conviction but avoiding the possibility the jury will compromise on a more serious crime.
You're also decreasing the risk you'll have a second trial because the jury's unable to agree.
I believe in fact he's going to be outright acquitted.
I'll be dumbfounded if it doesn't happen.
A second degree reckless homicide charge does not require proof that the teen exhibited another disregard for life.
Basically, they're admitting they don't have a case when they ask for lesser included charges.
From video footage, we know both Huber and Grosenkrutz ran after Rittenhouse when he was trying to run toward the police after shooting Rosenbaum.
Videos and photos also show Huber hitting Rittenhouse with a skateboard, while Grosenkrutz, who himself was armed with a handgun, testified earlier he thought Huber was attempting to attack Rittenhouse.
A Daily Keller cameraman, Richie McGinnis, testified Rosenberg was reaching to grab Rittenhouse's gun when he was shot.
Another journalist, Drew Hernandez, said Rosenberg charged Rittenhouse from behind before the shooting occurred.
The first thing I did identify was that Rosenbaum was charging Kyle Rittenhouse from behind, and as he's charging him into the car's source parking lot, a firearm goes off.
The judge said he would not allow the jury to consider a lesser charge for the shooting of Rosenbaum, the other man he's charged with shooting last year.
Kenosha, there's a mixture.
I think it must be Huber.
Judge Schroeder stated in closing arguments at trial, they're beginning, you know, we passed that.
It's already gone to the original charges.
Here's something I find very suspicious.
They had a search warrant to examine the cell phone of the armed left-wing rioter, Gage Grosskreutz, but they did not execute the warrant.
We have Detective Howard revealing, following the incidents, they were granted the warrant, but for some reason never took advantage.
He said it's the only time in three years as a detective a warrant has not been executed.
I believe it may be Gross and Krutz was somehow a central figure in coordinating all this, and they didn't want to investigate because it would have had ties to the Democrats or the DA or who knows what.
Rose Crooks was shot in the bicep after he raised a handgun and pointed it right in the house's head.
He has a long history of breaking the law, including a record for burglary.
He's also a member of the far-left People's Revolution Movement in Milwaukee.
Long claimed to be a victim, but he was caught online when he said his only regret was not emptying his entire mag into him.
Some of this stuff is just unbelievably bad and, you know, for the prosecution where their own witnesses were testifying in manners that strengthen the defense case.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, amazingly enough, after 9-1-1, when I went to take my first flight under the new TSA regulations, I had a pair of nail clippers that they considered a weapon, and I carry nail clippers on my keychain even today, so I guess there's justifiable homicide for anybody that wanted to kill me just because I was carrying a dangerous weapon by TSA standards.
Let's don't forget that the governor of Wisconsin was Tony Evers, and he's a Democrat, and the mayor of Kenosha is John Antrim media and he's a Democrat.
So we have Democrats that stage set this thing and over a two day period of time, they burnt 50 million and stole $50 million worth of property in Kenosha.
So who's the criminal here?
The kid who went over there to clean up graffiti and put out fires and help somebody if they were injured are the political puppets that allowed this desecration of a great American city to happen, I wonder.
Yes, yes.
It's not very mysterious when you look at the facts, Michael.
Yeah, well stated.
Here's another example of what we were talking about in the previous story about a section of the court system.
This judge, particularly, who is apparently not compromised, and what kind of difference it makes to see a case before a judge like that, as opposed to one who is compromised.
And it strikes me as what kind of rampant hypocrisy is it to claim anything associated with a racial motivation on the part of Kyle Rittenhouse.
All the participants here were white, and they never say that about any of the black-on-black shootings in Chicago.
Oh, I hold up my hypocrisy sign again.
I was on a jury in a murder trial in Fort Worth in 1984.
And specifically, I remember the judge's instruction.
Um, concerning the care the open carrying of a weapon in Texas, and I'm not sure how Texas and Wisconsin law match up but I from watching this trial, I assume that there's a lot of compatibility between the two.
But in Texas, the judge told us that it's not illegal at all.
I mean, you can walk up to somebody in a cafe, sit down at a table across from them, and lay your pistol on the table, and no law has been broken.
For them to the prosecution to make the argument that is just showing up in public with a gun.
I believe is clearly wrong in this case.
Oh, Michael, you can't believe how many wrong things the prosecution has done.
The case should never have been brought in the first place.
The sixth of the charges was the illegal possession of a gun.
The judge dismissed the charge.
So that was the one most thought was the most likely where he would be found guilty, but it's already been dismissed and further strengthens the defense.
So, you know, I think they're going to go down big time here.
Get this.
Billionaire Bill Ackman defends Kenosha gunman Kyle Rittenhouse, calls the teen a civic-minded patriot.
I like this.
He took to Twitter to defend Kyle.
Ackerman said after watching hours of testimony, he and his wife believe the teen is telling the truth and that he acted in self-defense.
We found him to be a civic-minded patriot with a history of helping his community as an EMT in firemen in training, in his removing hate graffiti earlier in the day from a local school, and ultimately in volunteering to protect a business during the night of August 25th in Kenosha.
Here's the fellow himself, whom I admire for speaking out.
The Pershing Square Capital Management founder, With respect to my own political bias, I'm not a gun owner nor a member of the NRA.
On balance, I support stronger gun regulations and removing loopholes in the sales of guns.
risk. With respect to my own political bias, I'm not a gun order nor a member of the NRA. On balance, I support
stronger gun regulations and removing loopholes in the sales of guns.
Unfortunately, it seems that society's views of Kyle's innocence depends more on one's views about gun control
than what actually took place last August.
Kyle Rittenhouse's life is at risk.
Justice demands a fair trial.
Society would benefit greatly if politics did not enter the courtroom to convict innocent people.
He claimed his comments shocked the online community, noting he received a call from a reporter who said he couldn't conceive of the idea that I could believe that Kyle is innocent because he himself is not a right winger.
But He is convinced, convinced, though Ackerman's supporter Rittenhouse may have seen out of character to his social media followers, the known Trump critic is no stranger to stirring up political controversy.
After the January 6th insurrection, he called out then President Trump, saying it's time for you to resign and apologize to all Americans.
But unfortunately, Ackerman was being played, just as have most of the American people, by not seeing through what was clearly a contrived event.
Moreover, in March of 2020, he issued a stark warning to Trump again, asking him to shut down the nation with an extended spring holiday before COVID began to surge.
Arguing the shutdown was the only answer to spare the nation a catastrophe.
He was wrong.
Meanwhile, this meme, I think, captures exactly the situation.
The media has no choice but to hate Kyle.
He defended himself against the monster they created and showed the world why someone would need an AR-15 with 30 rounds.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, I love that meme.
It's really hilarious.
update on what happened in Texas as far as weapons. When we passed the concealed carry law,
we allowed business owners and private property owners to post a sign on their property which
is Vernon's Code 30-06 which says you're not allowed to bring concealed carry onto the property
and then a few years ago we passed an open carry law where you can open carry in the state of Texas
but there again they gave the business owners the right to put a 30-07 sign out in front of
their site saying open carry is not allowed.
So you have to be careful in Texas if you're carrying open or concealed to notice when you're going into facilities and there's a whole lot of facilities that are absolutely prohibited like Hospitals, schools, and government buildings.
So, you can't just open carry your gun into the courthouse and swing it around like the attorney did in the Rittenhouse case.
Not gonna let it happen.
And that was violating the most basic principles of gun safety.
He actually had his finger on the trigger.
He was pointing it at the jury.
I have a colleague who thinks it was an attempt at jury intimidation.
I'm sure it was.
Michael, your thoughts?
So Joe, since I was on that murder trial in 1984, those laws were passed sort of giving business owners or private property owners the ability to say, no, you can't have a gun on this property.
That was late 90s.
I didn't get a concealed carry until after Katrina, when I saw how thin the fabric was in society, and I wanted the ability to be able to justify, you know, self-defense in a society that could collapse instantly.
And, you know, it's also a pretty handy thing to have if you're at a traffic stop.
You're required to tell law enforcement that you have one, And if you have a weapon in your possession, you tell them, you know, I've got a handgun, it's in a holster, it's in my glove compartment, blah, blah, blah.
And so it's a good thing for everybody.
But one thing it does is the police department, when they look at your CHL, and it pops up when they do their, what's it called?
The surveillance stuff, where they automatically run your license plate.
Anyhow, I'll think of it in a second.
But when they when they do an ID check on you, it pops up on your ID check.
And so then they know, well, here I'm dealing with an honest citizen that doesn't have a criminal record.
So, you know, it's obvious that we're we're dealing with a certain class of people.
And so it just makes it better for the police officer.
But if you're in a situation with law enforcement, there's things that you really need to make sure you do.
First of all, you pull off, if you're in a traffic stop, you pull off at the very first available safe spot for you and the officer.
You turn on your hazard lights, you turn off your engine, you turn on your interior lights, you roll down your windows so that he can See that he can access your car from either side and you place both hands on the steering wheel palms open so that he can see that you don't have a weapon and then you explain everything you're going to do before you do it so it's like my driver's license is in the glove compartment my
Insurance papers are above my visor.
My, you know, 45 Colt is in my console.
You explain everything to the officer and ask permission before you do anything.
And so that makes it safe for everybody.
And, you know, we don't we don't need to have these kind of events.
The people that acted up, the Jacob Brown or whoever it was, ended up being shot.
Excuse me, I'll get the name exactly right.
Blake, it was Blake that was shot in Kenosha.
He had a weapon.
He had three kids in the back of the car.
It looked like he was trying to hijack them.
He was not following police orders.
He'd been resisting arrest and he had an outstanding warrant for three felony counts.
So, you know, if you do stupid games, you know, you're going to end up winning stupid prizes.
I'm sorry.
You know, he wasn't killed.
So, you know, I think it was an overreaction on the part of the demonstrators to destroy the town.
Absolutely absurd.
Yeah, I'm a concealed carry guy too, and I was in Kerrville, Texas.
That makes three of us.
I was in Kerrville, Texas about, I think it was about three years ago, and I got stopped by a young city cop there.
I was weaving in and out of traffic and had out-of-state flights because I was in a hurry, and that's one of the first things I told him.
I told him, here's my license and I'm I have a concealed carry license from North Carolina and I have a nine millimeter in the glove compartment.
And he just he just said, OK, thanks.
I think I think policemen generally like well, Well behaved citizens who are gun owners.
And what just one comment about the stories that we just went through, I thought it was interesting about this billionaire hedge fund guy named Bill Ackman, that he would.
chime in with his support of Rittenhouse, because it goes against the politically correct general narrative out there.
I looked up this guy, Ackman, I hadn't heard of him before, and he's really an example of a Jewish guy who has had every Jewish Privilege.
His father was a New York real estate financier.
He went to Harvard undergraduate, Harvard Business School, and then started his own company, investment company, and the fact that a guy like that Would stand up and say something positive about Kyle Rittenhouse in this situation is a good example.
It shows you how every person is really an individual and has a mind of their own, so we shouldn't paint everybody with that broad a brush.
Michael, that's such an excellent observation.
Overgeneralization, stereotyping.
You're absolutely right.
That's a perfect point.
Joe, you want to add?
Yeah, there's one additional comment.
When Texas passed their open carry law, They reduced the age for concealed carry to 18 if you're in the military or you're in a police department, police training academy, blah blah blah.
So bottom line is we had retroprosody with about 40 states up until we made that change and there was about a dozen states that said well we don't recognize your ability to give a concealed carry to somebody under 21 in our state and so we've lost retroprosody.
So if you're intended to carry Outside of the state of Texas, you need to verify what the laws are in every state that you're going to because they might not be the same and you don't want to get yourself in a crack.
So I would recommend that you do homework on any place that you're planning on carrying outside of the state of Texas and you need to familiarize yourself with the changing laws in Texas and also the court decisions on it.
Be a responsible gun owner and you can help prevent crime.
And that's a proven fact.
Yeah, I check that out when I make driving trips with something in my glove compartment.
I remember on the path to Texas, I would go through Tennessee, Arkansas to Texas on I-40 and I checked it out and they said, with those states, you're good.
Don't go to New Jersey.
Nice points from you both.
Really excellent.
Here he is holding an AR-15 right there in the jury with his finger on the trigger.
Prosecutor claims Rittenhouse lost the right to self-defense by carrying a gun, pulls the gun out and puts finger on the trigger, Baldwin style.
He risked having an Eric Baldwin moment after pulling out his AR-15 and pointing it inside the classroom.
Binger on Monday tried to claim Rittenhouse provoked the incident by having a gun and therefore forfeited the right to self-defense.
Here's one tweet.
What the actual F?
Binger, you lose the right to self-defense when you're the one who brought the gun, which is just absurd.
Binger says that all Rosenbaum did the night of the shooting was tip over a port-a-potty, light a dumpster on fire, swing a chain, tip over a trailer, and set it on fire, and say the N-word.
Binger describes Anthony Huber as a hero who rushed toward danger to save other people's lives when he chased after Carl Rittenhouse and smashed him in the head with a Kate Barth.
Good God!
Prosecutor takes an AR, an admitted exhibit, and says his assistant has checked it to be sure it isn't loaded.
Then, without himself opening the action to confirm it's unloaded, raises it and points it in the direction of the jury.
Inexcusable!
Spot the difference.
Prosecutor points a gun in the courtroom trying to explain what Rittenhouse did.
Binger describes a mob in Kenosha that was burning the city as a crowd full of heroes who tried to stop an active shooter in Kyle Rittenhouse.
Absolute insanity.
The judge dismissed a gun charge but allowed the prosecutor to argue Rittenhouse provoked the incident, which Minger went all in on.
Judge in Rittenhouse trial has dismissed Rittenhouse gun charge.
Rittenhouse defense attorney Mark Richards said during his closing argument that Rittenhouse has as much right to go there as anyone else in the city of Kenosha and be unmolested by the likes of Joseph Rosenbaum, who is a serial child sex offender.
Defense.
Rittenhouse has as much right.
Defense.
Kyle shot Joseph Rosenbaum, and I'm glad he shot him because if Joseph Rosenbaum got that gun, I don't for a minute believe he wouldn't have used it against somebody else.
Defense on Rosenbaum.
He was causing trouble.
He was a rioter, and my client had to deal with him that night alone.
Richard notices this is a political case with the state looking for someone to blame for the riots.
The district attorney's office is marching forward with this case because they need someone to be responsible.
They need somebody to put and say, we did it.
He's the person who brought terror to Kenosha.
Kyle Rittenhouse, however, is not that individual.
Defense?
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a political case.
You can watch his closing argument in full.
Meanwhile, Prince Jellyfish, get this, says, burn the effing city of Kenosha down when he walks.
Effing burn it and hang the effing judge.
I mean, this is unbelievable.
This is in response to a tweet that the judge had just dismissed the gun charge because his rifle had a longer barrel than the type detailed in Wisconsin state law.
Here's another.
James Wood tweets, Hey, Twitter support.
Remember when you guys locked my account for quoting Ralph Waldo Emerson?
This is so wonderful.
So wonderful.
Meanwhile, we want to hear from you, but first we want to hear from Joe and Michael.
Joe, your thoughts.
Yeah, well I was over at the Man Cave across the street with my Harris County deputy buddies yesterday and we were talking about the case and brought up the fact that there was four shots fired in 3.7 seconds and the first shot was through the hand of Rosenbaum and one of the officers said, well if you already have your finger on the trigger and somebody grabs a barrel of your gun and they're yanking it away from you, you can inadvertently, just because of the way you're holding the gun, Have the trigger pulled just because somebody's yanking the gun in front of your trigger finger.
I thought that was it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The first couple of shots, you had no control over because he didn't immediately release the barrel of the gun.
And so you had a leg wound and a groin wound, which would, you know, not necessarily even stop an attack.
And then the fourth one, they said he was shot in the back.
Well, that's just.
Uh, trolling to make it seem worse than it was.
He was actually shot in his shoulder and the medical examiner admitted that he was most likely still lunging forward to Rittenhouse when the fourth shot was fired.
So, you know, there's no way that this is not self-defense.
It's an absolutely slam-dunk case, but that doesn't mean that a jury won't I'm convinced they're going to quit.
gave him 40 pages of instruction that were like, you know, stereo assembly directions. It's like,
how in the hell are we supposed to figure out what the law is on this? So, you know,
the judge is doing his case to obfuscate the quick justice that we should be getting.
I'm convinced they're going to quit. Michael, your thoughts?
Well, the prosecutor is just terrible and egregious.
It's that pointing the AR at the crowd's total attempt at emotional manipulation by an unethical prosecutor.
And hey, it's a political case.
It's an iconic thing.
His being prosecuted in the first place is probably in all likelihood because the evil empire that's trying to take down this nation doesn't want an example like Rittenhouse being out there of what to do in a case like that.
You're absolutely right.
100% spot on.
I think we're doing justice to the complexity of the situation.
Meanwhile, we want to hear from you.

Klaus Schwab arrested.
This is a report I've heard, which I hope is true.
Why was the World Economic Forum founder arrested by Swiss police?
We are with a fraud case which has been faced by Klaus Schwab.
He gets arrested after being alleged for fraud charges.
This is the most shocking news, also hitting the internet hard.
Even circulating all around social media platforms, Klaus, the founder of the Economic Forum, where he is working as an executive chairman, the scene is making the headline about his arrest, whereas his fans are getting so impatient to know why he's been arrested.
He got arrested by police from his home, but the allegations against him are fake.
I dare say, if he has any fans, they must be demented.
Meanwhile, I've been so upset by the coverage from the Wisconsin State Journal, which published a piece saying that even if Kyle Rittenhouse were innocent rather than guilty, he was wrong, that I wrote, submitted the following letter, which I'm 100% certain they will never publish.
Rioting good.
Self-defense bad.
Editor.
It's embarrassing that you have published an ideological defense of the Rittenhouse prosecution, where three members of the same family—the mayor, the DA, and the detective—appear to have conspired against Kyle to deny his legal rights.
Kyle took a citizen's commitment to defend property and human rights more seriously than the Kenosha police, who stood down while looting and rioting and arson, by the way, was taking place.
He sought to provide medical assistance for which he was attacked.
A meticulous legal analysis by Andrew Branca, B-R-A-N-C-A, provides a thorough and detailed exoneration on every count.
That's why the prosecution now wants to include lesser charges.
They know they have no case.
Kyle was kicked in the face by one rioter.
Another tried to break his neck with a skateboard.
A third admitted he had a handgun and was pointing it at Kyle, who shot him in the arm.
They, not Kyle, were the aggressors.
It's insulting for anyone to suggest that he was acting as a vigilante and patrolling with illegally obtained guns, neither of which appears to be the case.
On the contrary, Kyle's actions were heroic.
As a former Marine Corps officer who has supervised 15 DIs and 300 recruits through basic training, his performance was admirable.
The attacks were imminent and deadly.
His actions were reasonable.
The media and its allies must attack Kyle because his example of self-defense is inspiring, and he showed the world why an AR-15 might make a difference for the public good.
He deserves our admiration.
James H. Fetzer, PhD.
Meanwhile, if anyone were so inclined to support my legal defense, you could do so by sending a check or money order to James H. Fetzer Legal Defense Fund, 800 Violet Lane, Oregon, Wisconsin, 53575.
Or, if you're sophisticated about direct account-to-account electronic transfers using Zelle, simply use my email address, jfetzer at d.umn.edu, which will take via Zelle directly to my legal defense fund.
All donations will be most welcome and appreciated.
Meanwhile, final thoughts, Joe, yours.
Yeah, well, we have a history of a Justice Department that's very unjust.
They have unlimited resources.
We have prosecutors who typically overcharge and then plea down on charges to intimidate you.
And there's a common saying among criminals that you can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride.
And the same thing applies to the innocent people like Bannon and Rittenhouse.
You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride.
And they're giving these folks a horrible ride.
Michael, your final thoughts.
Yeah.
The arrest of Klaus Schwab, to me, sounds like something that's in the category of too good to be true.
But the thought came to mind that it is interesting that over the last couple of weeks or so, I don't know how long they spent there, but Bobby Kennedy Jr.
has been in Switzerland with the great Katherine Austin Fitz.
And they've been talking to the Swiss people through press conferences about the unique position that Switzerland is in relative to stopping the COVID medical tyranny because they're probably the most democratic country in the world right now in terms of their voting They're not a member of the European Union, so they don't have that kind of pressure on them.
It's interesting that this story about Schwab being arrested in Switzerland would happen right after RFK Jr.
is making beautiful statements to the Swiss people.
As far as a final statement, I have a quote here from Dr. Leigh Merritt, and in an interview recently, she was commenting on the document that was found and publicized called Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars.
She says, the silent weapons that they're discussed, this is a document that came out of the military.
Deep State.
The silent weapons they're discussing are the weapons for social automation.
They're talking about how to control humanity for a reason, and they say, although... No, I'm not going to read that part.
They call it a war against the American people, and their goal is a transfer of power from the unworthy many to the worthy few.
They believe that they're the worthy few.
They talk about the fact that silent weapons are only obvious to the initiated.
Quote, the public cannot comprehend the weapon.
And she's talking in the sense of what we're undergoing right now in the COVID medical tyranny.
They cannot believe that they're being attacked.
They sense something is wrong, but they're not technically able to respond.
They don't know how to associate for defense.
Now, does that sound exactly like what's happening today?
And ultimately, at the end, there are only two options for the elite.
They say that there are too many of us and we're too greedy.
So there are two options.
We can let the people kill each other in wars that might also destroy parts of the planet, so that's not really a good idea.
Or two, we can bring about benevolent slavery and genocide, and it looks like option two is what we're facing.
Wow, that's terrific.
Yeah, I think you and Joe have really hit it out of the park today.
So it's a real pleasure for Texas Tuesday to bring Joe Olson from Houston and Michael Ivey, formerly of Fort Worth, Texas, together.
Several points occur to me.
I've been speculating about why the 500 million is supposed to be the ideal population for Earth, and a correspondent wrote to say that, according to the Talmudic version of Judaism, which of course espouses an extreme form of Jewish superiority, And we never hear about that from the left.
If they're talking about white superiority, why aren't they talking about Jewish superiority?
Because there's a real case to be made there that Jews are entitled to have 40 slaves.
And by his calculation, if you consider the world population of Jewry, 40 slaves per Jew equals about 500 million.
So it may be he's right, though I've not sought to verify it.
The other points that both Joe and Michael have made have been impeccable today.
And I would simply add that just before the show, I was hearing a report about the latest political polling across the nation, including at six, six disputed Senate seats.
And the Republican margin of leading in all of these seats and across the nation is between 20 and 28 points, the highest ever in the history of the poll, foretelling a bloodbath at the polls if the Democrats remain on course, and I guarantee you 100% they are not going to change.
So if we have anything like a responsible counting of the ballots, it's going to be all over for this Democratic Party and its current incarnation.
Let me simply close by encouraging everyone to spend as much time as you can with your family, your friends, and your loved ones, because it's sad to say, but we do not know how much time we have left.
