The ICE Propaganda Is Getting Out of Control! Don't Fall For It
RFK Jr. has made a MAHA move and inverted the food pyramid. Make Steak Great Again. President Donald Trump made a lot of promises. Let’s see if his business and international relations ones are holding. As Iran devolves into chaos and ICE protests rage on, it’s becoming harder and harder to discern what’s real and what’s propaganda. We try to get to the bottom of it. The Department of Labor released a video on X and now all the Leftists are shrieking about it. So, just like any other day.Show more GUEST: Josh Firestine

I want to point out first that I've heard Captain Be had the same thing as you point out first that I'm learning first that I've heard Captain Be had the same as I've been first that I've heard this evening.
to seven.
We'll be talking about RFK Jr.'s Day in the food pyramid.
Like this is this is not new, but the reaction to it, the ground 12 from the left, the outrage over the idea that steak is better for you than fruit loops, that kind of is.
So we're going to get into that and why we had the food pyramid, why we have what we have now.
Let me ask you, do you think that steak is not only healthier than fruit loops, but a bowl of kale?
I'll make the case as to why.
We're going to talk about Iran very briefly because President Trump made some promises and that does put us in a different situation than where we were in a few days ago.
And social media, fake news is the term that used to be used.
Let's go back to using propaganda.
There is propaganda across the board right now on Iran, on Argentina of all places, on ICE.
And we're actually going to highlight the videos that you most likely have seen and developed strong opinions regarding.
And then we'll show you what it actually is.
We'll show you what actually happened because there are some out there that are outright lies.
And we're really grateful to be able to provide all the references every single day.
Also, Department OF Labor is Nazis on with the show.
It's the weirdest thing.
It's like I was in a coma for 20 years.
And I'm just now waking up.
How's this look?
It looks great.
It's going to work.
What the hell are you guys doing?
The parody commercial for American Beauty.
American Financing, Stephen.
Well, what does this have to do with financing?
Let's get American in the name.
I finance the flowers.
No, just please shut it down.
Shut it down.
Okay, this is a waste of time.
Josh, put on some clothes.
I still have three more payments on the flower.
No, just keep throwing on.
What the hell is the matter with those guys?
Ooh, Steven.
Don't let your dream home be just a dream.
Go to AmericanFinancing.net/slash Crowder or call 800-974-6500.
On average, customers are saving over $800 a month, and some close in as fast as just 10 days.
NMLS, 1-8-2-3-3-4.
Ooh.
Glad to be with you, as we are weekdays at 11 a.m. Eastern.
You know, it's set your watch viewing.
That used to be a thing.
Now people just kind of consume things whenever they come out and a crappy stranger things finale on New Year's.
Spoiler alert.
Don't say it.
Everyone's gay.
I know.
I was as shocked as you.
My question is: hey, what's the perfect way to make steak?
Any answer outside of Medium Rare is incorrect.
Captain Morgan, CEO, how are you?
Good.
How are you?
Good.
Well, actually, the way Gerald makes steaks is incorrect.
That's not true.
I made it bad one time for you.
No, you made it historically bad.
I thought it was bad meat.
Yeah, it wasn't.
It was just you.
Nice.
Yeah, cooking.
And I was the first person to say something.
I was like, we might all die.
Yeah.
Like, this is rancid.
Yeah.
And it was fillet.
Yeah.
I don't, I mean, that is honestly, that's a skill to make it that unpalatable.
Yeah, never before and never again have I done it like that.
But we still love you anyway.
And we love this next guy, Friday, January 16th at Big Laugh Comedy Club, Fort Worth, Texas.
Go out, support live comedy.
Watch him.
Very funny guy.
And he's not underscore Firestein at X. Josh.
Not.
How are you?
Not the person.
I'm all right.
Yeah.
And I definitely sear the steak.
You got to sear the steak.
Yes.
Yeah.
You got to give it a good sear.
Two minutes, two and a half minutes on each side.
Yep.
And then let it just kind of finish off on the slightly less hot side.
As long as you sear it and then you keep the inside anywhere from pink to red to slightly pink, just not great.
You'll be okay.
That's all.
I didn't do any of that.
Yeah, Gerald, it's not supposed to be yellow.
Yeah, it's not.
Your steak's not supposed to look like JFK's liver.
No, not.
All right.
I make really good steak most of the time.
Do you?
Yeah.
Now.
He boils it.
He does.
He calls it sous.
I soused.
Oh, you mean you put it in a Ziploc bag in boiling water?
It's not boiling.
He serves it in a bowl of milk.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, it's fun.
Steak o's.
It's fun to point out Gerald's shortcomings.
No.
The one time I did that.
Hey, listen, it sucked.
So he has everybody.
It was really, really, really bad.
Okay, that brings us to our first story: the food pyramid.
Now, my question to you is, and I know that we have a lot of fitness enthusiasts who may be watching.
What are your thoughts on this?
And why do you think we had the food pyramid that we did for such a long time?
The federal government has now rolled out a whole new pyramid, a whole new set of nutritional guidelines, which I would say is not only far more sensible, but to me, it begs the question: why wasn't it always this?
Here's our favorite RFK.
The new guidelines recognize that whole nutrient-dense food is the most effective path to better health and lower health care costs.
Protein and healthy fats are essential, and were wrongly discouraged in prior dietary guidelines.
Diets rich in vegetables and fruits reduce disease risk more effectively than many drugs.
Whole grains outperform refined carbohydrates.
My message is clear: eat real food.
Though some suggest that he has ulterior motives regarding this new health plan, considering his recent team-up with Wendy's.
It certainly is a big thing.
Very big fluffy.
Where is the bee?
And when do you get more beans and less butter?
Where is the bee?
You're Wendy's kind of people.
You know, he should have to disclose.
Yeah, he should have to tell you that he should be interested in the motives, yeah.
But it almost should have been obvious.
He seems like more of a jack-in-the-box guy to me.
Yeah, no, yes.
Now, here's the thing: I know that you'll get some vegan vegetarian channels out there that will take this and clip it and complain about it and try and parse through this.
But I don't want to present myself as a nutritionist or as a doctor.
But I do think that we can all sort of agree on the realms, the boundaries of common sense.
First off, you should be exercising.
You should be training two, three times a week.
If you can, you should be moving every day and eat whole foods when you're hungry until before you're full.
If you do that, you're probably going to solve 90% of the problems.
But even the New York Times published this op-ed, which is in stark contrast to the leftists that you see on X and on social media, they wrote, Kennedy is telling Americans how to eat.
It's not crazy advice.
The nutrition advice, the new nutrition advice, is, dare I say it overall, very sensible?
Yeah.
Yeah, but here's the thing.
They sound surprised.
Yeah.
Whoa.
And the previous nutrition advice was not sensible at all.
You wouldn't be able to justify the disproportionate servings of refined carbohydrates under the guise of whole grains.
Because what did that remember?
We were kids and we watch and would say, honey nut chips, frosted flakes, part of this balanced breakfast.
Yes.
And it was a huge breakfast.
It was a huge breakfast.
It was like a golden corral breakfast.
Yes, it was.
We'd have a glass of milk, a glass of orange juice, then I'd have an egg and a piece of fruit.
And the cereal, like, well, you could do all of that without this bowl of cereal.
It'd be better off.
Pretty oatmeal, there was grits, there was eggs.
Yeah.
It was a pop-tart.
Usually, I had the strudels, which, by the way, was basically just, it was just apple pie for breakfast.
It was great.
Yes.
So the new pyramid, which goes kind of in reverse order, the top, meaning what you should consume the least, includes like grain, bread.
In the middle, you have eggs, fruit.
You see that there.
And then at the bottom, which I think, or this looks like it's reversed here in the opposite.
I don't know if it's an inverse image, but the biggest portion would be meat, including red meat, poultry, veggies, right?
That should be the bulk of your diet.
Meaning, if you look at it, proteins, meats, veggies, fruits are better for you than a bunch of refined carbohydrates.
I think we know that now.
I think the science is in.
Also, India has decided to update their own food pyramid for the good of the people.
That's a little bit different.
I wouldn't recommend.
But here's the thing: this is something when people talk about, are you getting what you voted for?
I never would have voted for RFK Jr., to be clear, in a general election.
I differ with him on too many fundamental issues.
But on this issue specifically, we said this is where he could probably do a lot of good.
What you have to ask yourself is why was there such resistance to this for so long?
People would point to the food pyramid.
People would say, well, hold on a second.
You know, meat is bad for you.
You should consider a vegetarian diet.
Remember when green smoothies were a big thing, which we know can actually be catastrophic for your thyroid, for some people now.
Let's go through some of the claims that have been made that led us here and why we know now with the science, as it's in, they were false.
First claim: all reference is available, link in the description, that red meat, you heard this for a long time, and you're still hearing it from some people.
Red meat is bad for you.
This is bad because red meat equals bad.
Too much red and processed meat will increase your chances of type 2 diabetes.
A diet that includes red meat raises the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as health problems like diabetes and high blood pressure.
Researchers now at Harvard and MIT say red meats may have a negative impact on our cognitive skills.
After all, the World Health Organization has declared red meat a carcinogen.
How the fing steak become the healthiest food in the country?
Yeah, I would argue it's always been amongst the healthiest foods, because here's the truth.
The claims that you've heard for a long time, you'll find some exceptions because there are many, many, many, many studies out there.
But looking at them, you know, looking at the meta-analyses, looking at all of these studies, looking at the totality, the first claims that you heard that red meat was bad for you, those studies included processed meat.
What that means is they compared vegetarians to the average American diet, which would include pizza with pepperoni, which would include a bologna sandwich, which would include fast food burgers.
And if you think about that, you just sort of logically walk through it.
Well, yeah, at one point in time, vegetarians would have been far more health conscious than the average American eating fast food.
That's not the same as somebody who is health conscious eating healthy proteins in comparison to a vegetarian.
When you look at those, you actually see that one will be deficient in certain key nutrients and one won't.
By the way, I'm not advocating for carnivore or vegetarianism.
I actually think this food pyramid is a pretty damn good place to start for most people and very feasible.
When you actually separate out the unprocessed from the processed red meat, meaning pepperoni, burgers, fast food, from steaks, for example, or liver, you actually look at the literature and it says weak evidence of association between unprocessed red meat consumption and colorectal cancer, breast cancer, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.
Meaning, once we said, okay, someone's eating steak and rice or steak and veggies or maybe eating, you know, chicken breast and soup.
Let's take this, let's compare it to a vegetarian diet.
Oh, turns out not only is it kind of a wash as far as health overall, these people are stronger, more athletic, and seem to perform better.
It's not, by the way, diets are unique.
Some people react better to certain foods than others.
But we were told for a long time, remember that rumor it used to be John Wayne died with like 20 pounds of impacted fecal matter in his colon because of all the red meat?
It wasn't true.
What?
Yeah, that was a big thing.
Tell me if you guys remember that.
Colonics.
The whole colonics movement?
Colonics, the detox thing.
Your body does it very effectively, just to be clear.
Here's another truth.
You always were taught color means nutrition.
Well, you actually get more nutrition that's available to your body from high-quality meats than most vegetables.
So let me give you some examples of this.
Compared to vegetables, red meat, they have, you've heard this micronutrient.
That was a big trend.
Remember people juicing.
It was a micronutrient diet.
You actually get more in most good, high-quality lean meats, and they have a much higher bioavailability.
That means they have more iron, more zinc, B12.
A lot of people try to make up for B12 with algae like spirulina.
Turns out that's an analog, meaning your body can't actually use it.
There's a different form of vitamin A in meat.
People know that retinol versus beta-carotene.
Retinol is readily absorbed.
Beta-carotene has to be converted.
Some people can actually put it through the conversion process.
It's why you can actually overdose on retinol, but you can't on beta-carotene.
Your body craves the nutrients in meat.
Put it this way.
If you were to only eat red meat, maybe liver, red meat for the rest of your life, you could do it.
It wouldn't be ideal.
If you were to only eat vegetables, kale, spinach, you would see your health erode pretty quickly, pretty quickly, if you weren't supplementing with B12.
That's a pretty good indicator as to what your body wants.
There's also a case to be made historically that human beings evolved once we learned how to cook meat, discovered fire.
That's what allowed our brains to develop.
Your brain is comprised of mostly fat.
Your brain needs fat.
You don't get that from kale.
Also, kale sucks.
I don't care.
You're going to get to that point.
Turn it into chips.
Or you say like cauliflower, it's just like eating wild.
It's just like eating buffalo wings.
No, it's not.
And I could hurt you.
We should.
Also sucks.
A lot of vegetables suck.
Yeah.
Can I list them?
Yes.
Collard greens?
That's disgusting.
Not good.
Yeah.
Beets?
Gross.
You're right.
Yeah.
Eight beets.
Et cetera.
There's more.
Beets taste like dirt.
Yeah.
They know they're good for them.
They look like they always have dirt on them.
They always do.
A potato comes out.
A carrot comes out.
They're both grown in the ground.
They come out.
They don't look like they're, well, Russett's the brown.
They although they have dirt on them.
Beets always look dirty.
Yeah, and they always taste dirty.
Yeah.
They taste terrible.
Sometimes when they cube it and you've got like cubes of like sweet potatoes or something like that in there.
So you've got a potato and you eat it like, oh, that's really good.
And then you go and the next one's a beet.
It pisses me off.
Yeah.
Well, I can tell you this.
You know, I've done blood work like clockwork because, you know, some stuff that I have to deal with health-wise.
And I've done the experimenting on my own body.
And I went through a period of time where I actually did the whole juicing thing, the smoothie thing.
And it put me on thyroid medication for a very long time.
Why?
Because of the oxalates I found out in the spinach and the kale.
I was not doing very well.
My gut was all messed up.
And finally, my doctor said, what were you doing before that?
I said, I don't know, like a steak and there might be a side of like, like might be some potatoes, might be some vegetables.
I said, go back to doing that.
Went back to doing that.
My lipids went back to normal.
I felt better.
My stomach was fine.
And I don't take thyroid medication anymore.
There you go.
So there you go.
Like I went through this.
That doesn't mean it'll be the same for everyone, but I did what people said would make you healthier.
And it begs the question, why?
Also, we have been told that alcohol in any capacity is pure poison.
By the way, wake and bake.
But the good news is booze is back on the menu and that's responsible.
Of course, I'm misrepresenting this, but hear Dr. Ross say it.
So alcohol is a social lubricant that brings people together.
In the best case scenario, I don't think you should drink alcohol.
Yeah, real close.
It does allow people an excuse to bond and socialize.
And there's probably nothing healthier than having a good time with friends in a safe way.
If you look at the blue zones, for example, around the world where people live the longest, alcohol is sometimes part of their diet.
Again, small amounts taken very judiciously and usually in a celebratory fashion.
So there is alcohol on these dietary guidelines, but the implication is don't have it for breakfast.
What?
Why not?
He's ruining my brunch, said Brian Stelter.
Now, he's inaccurate, by the way.
Some...
Another way is drinking for a social lubricant.
Some people are just trying to forget their past.
That's true.
That is true.
Some moms are just trying to get through the day.
Yeah.
All right.
Yes.
I always learned you only drink to make a good day better or to erase a bad one.
So you can do it.
So why wouldn't you do it in the morning?
Yeah, you just do it in the morning.
It's celebratory.
He said celebratory.
I wake up, wow, God made earth.
Yeah.
Well, I'm sorry that I was planning for the future by drinking preemptively.
Yeah.
How am I supposed to enjoy lunch?
No, but the truth is: look, if you don't drink, don't start.
You have to work today.
There's probably no discernible health benefit to drinking outside of the social benefits, but there is something to be said for that.
And then if you contrast that with the reason that a lot of young Americans find themselves in dire financial straits beyond the way the system is rigged, and we've talked about this in the housing market, how we could correct it.
Food delivery service.
People don't have the third place.
There's a very big difference between a pub, right, a public house.
You go, you have some food, you play darts, you talk with your friends, and binge drinking, a booze cruise, spring break.
And I think that America has gotten that wrong.
That's where Europe may, God forbid, have actually gotten something right where kids would drink wine with their meals in France.
They would have table beer in Belgium.
They actually studied table beer, giving table beer, meaning a low alcohol percentage beer to children in Belgium in comparison to soda.
And the kids who drank table beer performed better.
It's true.
They were happier.
They were much happier.
So are the months.
They went to bed earlier.
So are the monks.
The monks who would go on fast, they could drink as much beer as they wanted.
That's an easy ass fast.
That's a BS fast.
You get a drink of beer.
That's food.
Especially Belgian beer.
It's like 11%.
You weren't talking to God.
You were talking to the cutouts.
You were talking to the stained glass.
That was the janitor.
Shave our heads, but leave it on the side.
Okay.
Okay.
Hold on.
And here's the thing.
I think you're a grown adult.
You can put in your body as long as it's not harming someone else within reason.
I don't think we should legalize black tar heroin.
I understand that there are some legitimate uses for cannabis products, mainly low THC, high CBD.
But I get it.
And we've talked about that.
But the problem is that we've told young people, one is medication, right?
We were raised.
We were part of that generation.
Well, weed is less harmful than alcohol.
And that transpired to wake and bake, get medicated.
Here's a strain that'll make you more productive at work.
Here's a strain that'll help you sleep.
We've never had this kind of bombardment societally for booze.
You've never been told get up and drink a fifth of Jack.
That's never been the case.
But now it's been reviled to the point where a lot of young people aren't really going out and socializing.
So there may be some consequences that were unforeseen.
Here's actually someone from Gen Z who's not happy about it.
Now, for everyone else who does not have a substance abuse problem, why are you sober?
Why are we 23 acting like we're 65?
I see so many videos on my timeline of like, oh my God, post-grad in a new city, how do I make friends?
And then I go to their page and they're doing day in the lives where they go to bed at 9 p.m.
Dude, you are boring.
What are you doing that's so important?
You have to be sober.
You have to wake up at 5 a.m.
You have to do a three-hour workout.
Are you in the NFL?
No.
Are you working in some lab 16 hours a day curing cancer?
No.
You're 23 years old working a corporate job and you lift weights sometimes.
I promise you, it's okay to drink and have fun and go out and make new friends.
This sobriety culture really needs to end.
I think it's doing more harm than good.
When you're 24, I think this guy's lonely.
Your body is built to withstand.
I'm trying to drink with millennials.
You're not so important that you're above drinking.
2026, we need to bring back drinking and having fun because honestly, I am sick of this.
And I understand where he's coming from.
I would correct one thing.
Don't drink because you're young.
That would lead you to drink in a way that says, hey, I'm young and could be a problem.
If you are going to drink, drink in a way that you could do so in a lifelong way.
Same thing with diet.
Pick something that's sustainable, that's reasonable, that can actually be a lifestyle into your 60s.
And I do think that that's, we've sort of seen this sort of fractioning of music, of media, where we don't really have those water cooler moments anymore.
The same thing happens with approaches to health.
You see this with influencers.
It's either all about the glutes and ass and six-pack when you're in your 20s, and that's not sustainable.
And then these people just completely let themselves go.
Used to be a culture of physical fitness, right?
Physical culture is what it was called.
I'd like to see us go back to that.
You don't need to be on the cover of men's health, but you also shouldn't be a fat pride activist.
Eat sensibly.
If you're going to drink, do so sensibly.
And I do think that socializing is pretty important.
Make some little changes.
You know what I mean?
Maybe do food delivery a little bit less.
Maybe go out to eat or even go to pick up your food.
Plan times with friends and social gatherings.
That is a very important component.
Matter of fact, to give you an idea, there was an anomaly with, I believe it was the FDA, someone can correct me on this, where they studied tobacco.
Now, smoking cigarettes, bad, aside from the fact that it makes you look really cool.
Super cool.
So when they separated cigarettes and cigars and pipes, totally different outcomes.
And I believe they categorize this as two cigars per day or less or six pipefuls of tobacco a day or less, which is not a small amount.
The all-cause mortality increase was negligible.
And pipe smokers, on average, lived four years longer.
Now, this is not a precise study because you're looking at people over their lifespan, but they theorize that maybe the benefits, the meditative, the relaxation benefits of smoking a pipe outweigh the negligible health outcomes because you're not inhaling it.
You're not harming your lungs.
That was something that really kind of surprised people.
And there was no way around it.
They just had to say, well, don't smoke.
And you probably shouldn't smoke.
But we do need to be honest because if you tell kids, hey, all alcohol is bad, if you tell kids there's no benefit whatsoever to insert chemical ABC here, guess what?
They're going to want to try it and they're going to think that you've been lying to them.
For proof, see Reefer Madness.
Let's just not repeat this across the board.
And you don't have to have an unhinged diet.
Like I've said, do we already play, as RFK actually discussed?
Who has the most unhinged eating habits?
The president.
He eats bad food, which is McDonald's, and then, you know, Kathy and a Diet Coke.
But he eats and drinks the Diet Coke all times.
He has a constitution of a deity.
I don't know how he's alive, but I watched him reach in the air and eat a live snake.
It was alive.
Well, he ate it.
That's it.
You guys let me know what your diet habits are.
You guys let me know the direction you think we should go.
And why do you think we had the food pyramid that we did?
How do we get it so wrong for so long?
And I think, you know, lobbyists, I think, you know, our industry is, our supply chain is not even set up, let alone our delivery, our delivery logistics for whole foods this way.
It really is set up for processed cereals, grains, and this is going to have some economic impacts.
But you know what?
Is anyone going to argue against this, that this is better for the United States?
You're a parent and you're going to teach your children, okay, this is the food pyramid.
Are you happier?
I will tell you, I very, very much am.
Since my little ones were young, they've been eating liver.
They've always had a serving of meat with their food.
They've ate lots of fruit and veggies.
If they want to have some treats after that, provided they're not overweight, okay, fine.
But I make sure that the non-negotiables are meat, fruits, and veggies, but you can kind of accomplish it with fruit.
Yeah.
No, I think it's just, it seems like a balanced approach.
Geez.
Yeah.
Who thought that that would be the problem?
Like, I have a problem with, by the way, sorry, I have some allergies that I'm dealing with right now, but I have a problem with the guy saying.
Eat a steak, you pussy.
Oh, it's not involved.
I have a problem with saying, like, you know, this sobriety culture.
Like, don't get hung up on the words.
He's not talking about sobriety in general.
Like, hey, go get drunk.
He's like, this culture of like, I'm just completely avoiding any alcohol.
Like, going and having a beer with your buddies, beneficial.
Relieves stress.
Also gives you some social kind of bonding.
You get to kind of get outside of your own head just a little bit, better for your mental health.
Staying in your apartment and just kind of going, well, at least I'm not drinking.
That's not great.
No, it's not.
Don't make that trade-off, I think, is what he's saying.
Yeah, if you stay in your apartment all the time, how are you going to accidentally call somebody a slur and get into a fight?
Exactly.
It's true.
And how will you know the true depth of your abilities?
I'll tell you what, that happens to me when I stay alone in my apartment and also drink.
It just happens with a mirror.
Oh, really?
Yeah, that's a dangerous fight.
It is.
Glass hurts.
It does.
It does, but I don't feel it.
Well, it's because you're drunk, and that's what's the problem.
No, that's one thing.
When I drink a lot, you know, I almost feel invincible.
It's a superpower.
Try it, kids.
Nope.
I'm joking.
And just so you know, YouTube won't understand that that's a joke.
So download the Rumble app.
Follow me there because don't smoke.
It doesn't actually make you look cool.
Except it does.
And you are not invincible when you drink, except for the fact that you are.
All right.
Yeah, you kind of are.
Speaking of not invincible, oh, they're talking about ICE right now in CNN.
Look, they're rolling these clips.
We're going to get to the propaganda in a second.
They always choose an end point and an out point so they can lie to you.
But Iran is still going on.
You're witnessing a revolution in real time.
These aren't protests.
This is a revolution.
And I will tell you this: keeping your word is something that absolutely defines you.
And so, regardless of where you line up on foreign intervention, on whether it's in America's best interests, right?
Iran having a different government than they do right now, the Islamic regime.
Let's get to individual responsibility.
If you make a promise, you need to keep it.
And that is an issue right now that Donald Trump needs to grapple with.
This is true, by the way, across the board, not just politics, in your relationships, in business, period.
You make a promise, keep your word.
Just do that always.
That's a good rule of thumb.
If nothing else, your golden rule should, if you give some, it should be, if you give someone your word, keep it.
This brings us to Donald Trump telling the people of Iran that he would support them.
And then yesterday, in no uncertain terms, that the United States, he doubled down and said that we would support the revolutionaries in Iran.
And by the way, to all Iranian patriots, keep protesting.
Take over your institutions if possible.
And save the name of the killers and the abusers that are abusing you.
You're being very badly abused.
If the numbers are right, now I hear five different sets of numbers.
I hear numbers.
Look, one death is too much.
But I hear much lower numbers and then I hear much higher numbers.
But I say save their names because they'll pay a very big price.
And I've canceled all meetings with the Iranian officials until the senseless killing of protesters stops.
And all I say to them is help is on its way.
You saw that I put tariffs on anybody doing business with Iran.
Just went into effect today.
You did say the U.S. would get involved if Iran started killing protesters.
They have, by the many thousands, according to reports.
Well, we'll see what that is.
I've heard two numbers, but we'll see what that is.
Well, now we're hearing that they're going to start hanging protesters tomorrow.
So it comes back to the question: have they crossed your red line or has the line moved?
I haven't heard about the hanging.
If they hang them, you're going to see some things that I don't know where you come from and what your thought process is, but you'll perhaps be very happy.
What do you mean by that?
We will take very strong action if they do such a thing.
We will take very strong action.
Okay, so that seems pretty definitive to me.
Now, strong action doesn't mean at this point diplomacy or words, considering that we understand where we are.
Now, that being said, the protests are continuing to escalate.
We are now two and a half weeks in, and it's kind of coming down to the wire.
It's go time.
Now, to be clear, I also made sure to point this out yesterday.
It's really hard to know the death toll.
All I know is that it shot up from 500 to, all right, it's at least 2,000 minimum in the span of a day.
The low number that we're seeing right now is 2,400, and the high number we're seeing is 12,000.
I've seen some people claim 16,000.
I've seen some people claim zero.
Those are outliers.
Call it 2,400 to 12,000 people dead.
Well, I've heard some other numbers because of some people that you'll figure out which crowd they're.
And one of them said 99 million people have been killed in Iran.
We have to go in there right now.
And then the reply from Jake Shields was, I heard it was closer to 6 million.
Okay.
Yeah.
That crowd is out there in force.
They believed everything the Gaza Ministry of Health said, took it lockstock and, hey, this is God's honest truth here, but not one word coming out of Iran do they believe.
They don't even believe protests in some cases.
Well, they'll take the inverse and they'll try and gaslight you into the inverse of reality.
They'll go, oh, people who didn't care about human rights for a long time in Gaza.
It's interesting that they care now about Iran.
Well, one also involves the United States' best interests.
And I don't know if you see the commonality, but the commonality is two death cults with the Islamic regime and Hamas.
Also, money exchanging hands.
This idea that it's inconsistent to say, okay, Israel and Hamas are fighting a war, and that's not our fight.
But Iran, who has threatened the United States repeatedly and killed, by the way, many American troops, people forget about that.
This is something that does affect us.
As to whether we should intervene, I understand that's a legitimate conversation to have, but you cannot start off with a lie.
You have some people saying, oh, it's not actually going on.
None of this is real.
There's no conflict in Iran.
Imagine someone like that being president.
Hey, here you go.
Here's a death toll.
We don't know what it is, but we know that this would be the time to take action.
No, it's not happening.
Well, what do I do with these bodies?
They don't exist.
Don't try and gaslight me, right?
Like, let's try and frame it that way.
So, irrefutable.
Today, Iran's judiciary chief, which means nothing, said that the government would, quote, prioritize speedy trials for those who committed acts of terrorism.
The first execution is set for today.
It's Irfan Sultani, a 26-year-old, was arrested one week ago.
No legal representation, no trial.
And a family member told CNN saying, our demand now is that Trump truly stand behind the words he said, because the Iranian people came to the streets based on those statements.
An unarmed population trusted these words and is now under gunfire.
I beg you, please do not let him be executed.
And obviously, my heart goes out to this woman, and it's terrible, and this is a regime that could not care less about human rights.
It's not fully accurate because people took to the streets, which took to the streets, assembled Brazilian.
They took to the streets.
They took to the streets, which prompted President Trump's response.
Now, if you mean more people took to the streets because Donald Trump said that we would back you up, okay.
But let's be really clear with our words here.
And this really does reflect a situation that's pretty serious.
So far, the retaliation, the actions from President Trump have just been economic, right?
25% tariff on any country doing business with Iran.
Okay.
That obviously sends a message, but it's a very long-term solution to a very short-term, acute problem.
If we were in a world where Donald Trump did not promise anything, we'd still be at the point, assuming you acknowledge reality that there is a revolution, we'd still get the point of, is it in our interest to do anything?
We are not there now because Donald Trump said that we would do something.
That's important because you don't want to repeat.
Remember, this is what happened with the Kurds.
Remember George H.W. Bush called on the Kurds to revolt against the Iraqi regime, right, in Saddam Hussein.
And then we kind of hung them out to dry.
They were slaughtered.
They were all slaughtered.
And this was a pretty formative moment for me as a kid because I was raised in Canada and I remember everyone obviously opposing the Iraq war, but they hated George W. Bush.
And I remember them saying, well, why is he going in there?
At least Saddam Hussein, he kept things in order.
He kept, right?
So now we just destabilize it.
I was going, wait, hold on a second.
Didn't you also say that the Bushes hung the Kurds out to dry, that we should have gone in and helped them when you were blaming them?
Well, yeah, oh, so it seems to me like the only constant here is no matter what your political opposition does, they're wrong.
You need to go help the Kurds.
But now you're saying that Saddam Hussein at least kept things lawful, organized, including the slaughtering of the Kurds.
And the issue there is when people step forward because they expect you to go into battle with them or to help them, you are partially responsible for their deaths if that's what ensues.
This also happened, by the way, with the Hmong there.
They were going to be fighting the North Vietnamese.
The CIA recruited them.
Also, the Laotian communists, the Laotian communists.
I have to say it with the right twang.
After the fall of Saigon, U.S. abandoned them.
As a result, 10,000 were slaughtered.
That's not to say that Vietnam was anything other than a mistake and the way that we carried it out.
But we do need to be a nation that keeps our word.
Otherwise, our own allies will cease to trust us.
So what does Iran need, for example, before military intervention?
They need organization.
They need communications, internet.
Elon Musk has been helping with that.
They need intel.
They obviously would like some kind of military support.
Here's what they don't need.
Cringy crap like this.
This picture.
Please stop.
Who does that help?
Her, she thinks.
You know, it'd be more effective.
Just post a, just post.
Kill the Ayatollah.
Yeah.
Let's just try and be straightforward with our views at this point.
Not a cigar.
And look, I'm ominously lighting it with a picture of it.
Stop.
This is.
Oh, she had a cigar?
Yeah, yeah.
I didn't even notice that part of it.
I thought she was just lighting a picture on fire.
Oh, there's a cigar.
Yeah, she's lighting her cigar with a picture of the...
That's, by the way, a terrible sweater to be wearing while we're on an open flame.
It's also a terrible way to light a cigar.
First off, it's a longer process than just using a lighter.
Also, you don't want to be smoking ink.
No, it's going to get in.
You can't use the cigar to light the picture.
That's a possibility.
No, it doesn't work that way.
This is like a chicken and the egg thing.
You know what else they need?
They need people to, look, you want to question the number of people killed.
I'm totally fine with that, by the way.
I just don't think saying 99 million or 6 million or it's the Jews, and I don't trust any numbers coming out of there is really productive right now.
But you know what would be great?
I don't know.
Maybe the same thing you were asking for in Gaza.
Let reporters in, right?
Let international people go in there and tell us what's really going on and make sure that the population can communicate.
Those are the same things that you were asking for.
Totally different circumstances.
I understand it.
But if you're going to be consistent, you cared about the people in Gaza, you don't care about the people in Iran.
I get it.
Just maybe say that instead of calling us out for saying the exact opposite thing, I guess, even though it was a war.
You want there to be communication.
You want there to be journalists.
You want there to be accurate information so the world isn't slipwalked into a war again where they just kind of go, oh, yeah, I trust everything that's being said by these guys.
Okay, well, let's ask for that.
Instead, right now, it's pithy tweets about 99 million, Scott Horton, and Jake Shield 6 million right after that.
And Dave Smith going out there.
I can't believe these guys say they didn't care about anybody in Gaza.
Now, all of a sudden, they care about Iranians.
I'm like, well, Dave, you cared about Gaza.
What you're telling me is you don't care about Iranians.
So what are we doing?
Is anybody consistent out there?
Yeah.
I think that's far more inconsistent than saying we need to treat this international death cult as what it is.
That's what the Islamic regime in Iran is.
And look, you can say that the nation of Israel did not approach that well at all as far as the war in Gaza.
You absolutely, and those are legitimate criticisms.
And by the way, we can have an APAC conversation separately.
And I would agree with you as far as the influence and as far as people having to register under all of that.
But that doesn't change the fact that the through line here is a death cult.
I mean, anywhere Islam has grown, anywhere Islam ever throughout human history has become in charge of the government.
This is what you see.
It's just a matter of time.
And it's not lost on me that that very likely could happen in Iran 20, 30 years from now again.
But here's where we are right now in real time, which also brings us to actually, this surprised me.
You know, Kalchi, where you can do the betting lines, they actually have right now the lines going as far as the Ayatollah when he would be out as supreme leader.
And the odds are before February 1st, 22%.
Before April 1st, 48%.
Before July 1st, 56%.
That's odd to me.
22% seems really low because either some, I would imagine that if something's going to happen, if the United States is going to intervene, it is going to be before February 1st.
I would imagine it'd be pretty quick, but he may be able to hang on to power for just a little while.
I don't know.
It's hard to see, but I mean, it's like such a low chance, 22%.
Yeah.
So maybe I haven't done the betting stuff yet.
I'm going to go in and try.
Well, if you go, if you, you know, if I put money on yes, that's a big payday.
Yeah.
If it happens sooner.
Yeah.
So, hey, nice sound effect there.
There you go.
And this brings us to something that I really wanted to get into and discuss today.
We've talked about this.
We always try and make sure that you don't just take our word for it.
We make all the references available.
We try to hold ourselves to account.
I would encourage everyone else out there creating content to do so because we are in an era of, we know, we lived through mainstream media, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, all of that for a long time, and they were dishonest.
But now it doesn't matter what the issue is, you have people simply fabricating out of thin air stories that never took place, videos that don't reflect what actually was happening, or denying things going on as though they don't exist, whether that's foreign policy, whether that's ICE, or the Jews in every capacity.
Everyone now is chasing clicks, clicks, clicks.
And the problem is not just these people lying, but then when you read the comments and the replies, you see so many people who believe it.
And some of the most viral posts have been flat out fabricated or completely false.
It's time for, I guess, new media malpractice.
And as we said, all references available.
So, first, let me address this.
Yes, the original smoking girl picture, the picture of Iran, it was taken in Canada, not Iran.
Okay, she's an Iranian exile.
She's, I guess, what do you call it, exilee?
She's living in exile in Canada, okay?
Which, by the way, isn't all that much better.
So people will use that and say, see, this is propaganda, therefore none of it is real.
And then that opens the door to other serious propaganda that is not just misleading, it is deliberately designed to lie to you so that you will form your opinions on non-reality.
And if you form your opinions on non-reality, that means that you are forming your opinions.
We're starting from the groundwork of the reality chosen by and brought to you from the propagandist.
Here's an example.
The helicopters above Tehran.
video went out all over the place saying this is Tehran right now Hundreds of thousands of Iranians are there to show their support for Iran and condemn the rioters.
Turns out that that was propaganda.
That was not even a real video.
Well, so the question that we have is like, it doesn't seem like a real video.
Did he Photoshop himself into that?
Was the streets stuff?
It looks like the street stuff is kind of real.
It doesn't look like that's fake, but the helicopter stuff looks kind of fake.
So is he just doing it for a cloud or is he doing it for anything else?
We don't know.
But when you see something like that, you go, can I trust any of this?
I have no idea.
Right.
And there are some other examples.
It gets really bad with ICE.
Yeah.
We're going to try and give you some fabricated examples and then examples of people just choosing an in and an out point to paint a narrative that doesn't really exist.
So the question becomes, is this reality or is Iran using propaganda to manifest a reality that they prefer?
I don't know for certain.
What I do know is that I have recently conquered my fear of spiders and I can prove it.
I'm a change man No, that's nice.
I've actually, my Broadway career is starting to take off.
Really?
As well, yeah.
Golden batter, crispy from the fryer.
A stick of magic sets my heart on fire.
Sweet and savory on this wooded woman.
Yeah, well, you look good.
And good enough for me.
Yeah, I'm happy to say I've honestly reached new heights in my life as well.
Really?
Yeah.
All right, sun's out.
Time to let these run.
I haven't seen daylight since last summer.
Whoa.
Look at those legs.
Look at them.
Good for you.
Good for you.
I'm happy.
I just wanted to clear the airs one more.
That's okay.
I'm not gay no more.
I am to the earth.
I like mad no more.
I thought I would.
I'm not gay.
I would not be a man.
I wouldn't not.
Carol first.
I would not will make the, I will, I will, love, a woman.
Brock says that last one's fake.
Yeah, that's gotta be fake.
God, when you turn your head, the whole face was all sideways.
Grock can confirm all of the others.
That one's fake, and I'm disappointed.
Don't be afraid to do a little better, Gerald.
I'll try harder.
But this moves us on to the next story.
There have been a bunch of stories that many people on the left believe, and this matters because they'll often use these false stories as grounds to commit acts of violence.
For example, you have people in this country who believed that Charlie Kirk was my God, an actual Nazi.
Hopefully you guys see, you know, this whole idea that sticks and stones may break my bones.
No, no, words, especially as they travel these days, they absolutely can result in the serious harm or death of people.
That doesn't mean that you shouldn't be able to speak freely.
Absolutely, you should.
But you need to be very aware and very diligent in the information that you consume.
Because I watched entire groups of people.
We're in all of these groups.
We've infiltrated all of them.
Who actually believed that Charlie Kirk was a Nazi who would support the carrying out of a Holocaust?
And now you see people who believe that ICE are the literal gestapo simply assaulting American citizens.
Many Americans are afraid as ICE agents demand papers and at times put American citizens in handcuffs.
Agents try to restrain the woman and place her in their vehicle.
She can be heard pleading to agents and screaming to those watching that she is an American citizen.
A 79-year-old business owner says he was body slammed and pinned to the ground by federal agents during the immigration arrangement.
The latest video to send shockwaves from San Diego immigration court through the immigrant community is actually not of an immigrant, but a 71-year-old U.S. citizen.
So you've heard a lot of these stories.
Remember, a Maryland man, Obrego Garcia?
Let's go through these to see if they're legitimate.
Let's go through a few examples.
Here's the first one.
In Los Angeles, Keith Porter Jr. was shot and killed by an off-duty ICE agent, you were told.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, the off-duty ICE agent heard gunfire near his apartment and went to check it out.
That's when DHS says the officer encountered Porter holding a long rifle.
Advocates say Porter's gunfire that night was his way of observing the holiday.
What?
Yes, it was illegal, but at the end of the day, it's American tradition.
But the agency allegedly ordered Porter to put down the weapon.
And when he didn't comply, DHS says the off-duty officer fired his service gun.
The agency claims Porter fired three rounds at the off-duty agent before he was.
Wait, what?
Okay, that is bizarre.
Is that a vigil or a seance?
It's a far cry for me.
That was Ouija board.
Bring it back.
So the way this was framed, attorney Ben Crump wrote on X, Keith Porter Jr. was a father of two, a son, and a brother whose life was stolen by an off-duty ICE agent.
His family gathered in grief, demanding the truth.
We will continue to stand with Keith Porter Jr.'s family until there is justice, transparency, and answers.
Well, here are a few answers.
The obvious one: gunfire out there in a public space, whether celebratory or for any other reason, is illegal.
Don't know if you know that.
He was told to stop firing the gun in the air by said agent, and then Porter allegedly aimed said gun at the ICE officer in response.
One person heard someone demand repeatedly that Porter, quote, put down the rifle.
So this also begs the question, and I don't think that common sense can just be the basis for any argument, but I do think it is applicable contextually.
If you are shooting a real gun into the air and you are asked to stop and you aim it at said person, whether knowingly or accidentally, how do you think that's going to go?
Like, what do you think is the most likely situation to transpire?
We can say the same thing about hitting an officer after taunting them and impeding them and obstructing traffic all day.
It doesn't mean that it's the ideal outcome, but let me ask you genuinely, if you were shooting a gun, let's say you were shooting guns into the air.
Let's actually scale it back.
Let's say you were shooting guns with blanks into the air, celebrating, but they looked like real guns.
And an officer didn't know.
And he said, hey, stop doing that.
And you didn't.
You didn't even aim it at him, but you just looked at him and went, bang, What do you think would happen to you?
I mean, that's like the reason why cops have guns.
Yeah, it's constantly.
It's because other people have guns and they fire them.
Yep.
That's like, that's the most clear-cut case.
Why did he get shot?
Oh, he was firing a gun.
Yeah.
If the left had an example, whether it was Black Lives Matter, and I've said this, or now, of an American citizen sitting, waiting for a bus, abiding by the law, getting the crap kicked out of them, you would see it.
That would be the reason for the marches.
That would be the reason.
That would be the catalyst for these movements.
The reason it's not, and it always ends up being a story that comes to light, whether it was George Floyd, whether it was Mike Brown, the lie, hands up, don't shoot, is because that's still the best they can come up with.
And there are entire courses taught on police brutality, driving while black.
Why don't you have any of these examples?
And if you did, why do you pick these stories to turn into martyrs?
Let's go to the second example.
This one is really bad.
It's also funny.
So Sunday, a man at an anti-ICE protest, and then I'll give you the commentary, was allegedly rammed, run over, hit with a car.
Ooh.
ICE out protest in Memphis Sunday started peacefully.
Hundreds gathered along Summer Avenue holding signs.
Protesters then started marching in the street.
Things changed when Tennessee Highway Patrol showed up.
Because they're on a highway?
Multiple witnesses claim a trooper drove into protesters.
Multiple witnesses because those protesters, they're known for being reliable.
So with this, with this information, the Tennessee state senator Justin Pearson wrote this on Facebook.
The ramming of a marshal at a peaceful protest in Memphis by the Tennessee Highway Patrol is disturbing, dangerous, and troubling, especially in these times.
I've seen enough videos and heard from enough attendees from the ICE out march to believe that there needs to be an investigation done by TBI of the Tennessee Highway Patrol officers' actions.
Well, good news is there didn't need to be a lengthy investigation because the patrolman released dash cam footage.
Move!
Get out of my way!
Get out of my way!
Move!
What?
Move!
Get out!
Come here!
And I will tell you, that's so much worse than just an accident.
That is, you know, that kid who you hate, who you watch lie to parents?
Yeah.
who's the actual bully like oh my god i hate that kid because people that's almost all of these protesters That is proactively dishonest.
And the only reason he's doing it is because he knows he's going to get a senator or a congressperson or a judge somewhere to say, we need an investigation.
This is wrong.
This is cruel.
That's the only reason he's so.
He's not even trying to hide it.
Not a single one of these people is scared.
No.
Not a single one of these people is actually scared that something's going to happen to them or that they're going to, the ISIS and kind of Gestapo or not.
None of them are scared.
Right.
Is it wrong that I wanted the cop to hit the gas?
No, not at all.
I just instinctively, I was like, well, now's a good time.
Well, I don't see him anymore.
I might as well step on the gas pedal.
His hands are here, but the rest of his body is who knows?
Yeah, I don't see him.
I guess at this point, what's done is done.
They love this, and the media salivates, man.
They were salivating over that the guy shooting the gun in the air because they go, oh, man, finally we can get black people behind this.
Right.
If we tell them that ICE is killing black people, man, that's how we get the movement going.
Right.
At best, and this is very rare.
One of their descriptors may be true where it's like they may have an American citizen, but they were not being peaceful, which would explain the reason for being detained.
Or they may find someone who is being peaceful, but they are not an American citizen.
Most of the time, they are not an American citizen and they are not being peaceful, or they are anti-ICE agitators.
I've never seen one where all of the descriptors used are actually accurate.
Here's another one that I saw this, And sometimes it's actually a disadvantage to walk through something logically because your brain sort of, it short circuits.
So I read this post on X.
And then I watched the video that was included in the post.
And I told myself, it must have been one of those autoplay things where it played a different video.
Yeah, yeah.
Like there's no way that's.
And then I realized that this person at Jesus freaking Congress was hoping that you read this lengthy description and not click the video or that the video is missing from your timeline.
That's the only explanation I can come up with because of how not only inaccurate, it's the antithesis of an accurate description.
So this is what is written.
And then I'll show you the video.
This person wrote, no crime, no warrant, no probable cause.
An agent falsely claims that's assault while they're actively assaulting a U.S. citizen who is complying and not resisting.
There's a portion here above this where the person says they write, the man calmly responds, I am not moving.
The agent escalates again, snarling, you're an effing bitch and you're going to learn the hard way.
Again, this victim says, I am not moving.
It describes the victim as being peaceful, as being compliant, and a very profane ICE agent who is shaking down this American citizen for no reason.
Read the entire post and now watch the entire video.
And I'm very curious as to what transpired before this video.
We don't have that yet.
I'm willing to bet it was something like shooting guns in the air or blocking a car.
You know, that kind of thing.
Get the f ⁇ on the car.
Get the f ⁇ on the car before you get it.
Don't fucking move and you're going to get tased.
Because you want to begin eating.
You're a f ⁇ ing bitch.
And you're going to learn the fucking hard way.
I just asked you for an ID.
That was...
I don't give a f ⁇ what you asked me for, bitch.
Shut up.
Shut up, man.
Peacefully complying.
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with you?
He has a gun on him.
Look at that.
A fully registered firearm.
Because I'm a U.S. citizen.
Walking away, trying to get away while they're still searching him.
Not harassing the person filming, by the way.
Fully allowed to film and observe.
Y'all are some real f ⁇ ing scumbags.
You know that.
I'm a scumbag.
Yeah, you're just acting like a f ⁇ ing scumbag.
You're a fucking U.S. citizen.
You shouldn't have done that.
What made you get into this fucking profession?
Why are you so mad at why?
Why are you so mad at immigrants?
What did they do to you?
Rape.
Yeah.
So some context, obviously, that was missing from the description.
The man yelling, swearing at the officers.
The officer said that all he needed was the man's ID.
He said, I don't give a fuck what you asked me for, bitch.
You know, peacefully complying.
Multiple guns confiscated, which was not mentioned in the post.
And here's the thing.
I get that you can lawfully carry in that state.
If you are actually being handcuffed or if you are being detained by officers, one of the first things they ask you is, hey, do you have any weapons on you?
Anything that could stab me?
He wouldn't have had time to do that because this man was swearing and yelling at them.
Now, I said that he was reaching for something.
And this man said, I didn't reach for anything.
I reached for my whistle.
Well, which is it?
Yeah.
And there's your probable cause when if the ICE officers were saying this man was acting aggressive, this man was reaching for something, we had reason to believe that it was a weapon.
And he said, I didn't do any of that, you bitch.
I was reaching for my whistle.
Well, you have guns on you.
So can we agree that that would be probable cause?
He didn't call him a bitch.
He called him a pussy.
Which is really funny coming from guys saying, I was looking for my whistle, you pussy.
Okay, tough guy.
Yeah, and by the way, when people say a report by ProPublicus, this is what people are circulating: 170 U.S. citizens arrested by ICE.
72% of them were held for interfering with ICE.
So, in other words, those American citizens are the people you see blocking cars, the people you see either assaulting officers, screaming at officers, the remaining 28% were questioned and released.
If the example existed of, yes, officer, okay.
I'm sorry, you need identification at this point.
Okay, yep, thank you.
Sorry, I'll be on my merry way, and then just catches a haymaker, you'd see it.
It doesn't exist.
I'd be curious to see what that rate, what the rate of successful arrests is for ICE.
When we're talking about how many was it?
How many people was it that you said that?
It was 70%.
They said 170 U.S. citizens.
170 US citizens.
72% were held for interference.
I would like to see what the number is of the 170 U.S. citizens is wrongful arrest ratio compared to successful arrest ratio from ICE.
Yeah, well, it's a good point.
It doesn't matter what you do because you're still used as a statistic by the left.
Well, they'll do that stuff.
They'll go, well, it's only 1%.
Right.
Only 1% of immigrants do the murders and the rapes.
Right.
It's like, yeah, but that's 500,000 people.
So if an officer shoots, okay, well, then you're going to have a vigil and that's going to be a protest because you have Renee Good.
All right.
But then if you detain someone for impeding, remember when people said, hey, why didn't he just tell her to move her car?
Well, he did.
Yeah.
Well, why didn't he just take her out and detain her?
Well, he tried to, and then she ran the cop.
But even then, you'd put her in a statistic of an American citizen who was arrested by ICE.
It doesn't matter what they do.
The left doesn't want law and order enforced.
They also make detaining sound like some kind of prison sentence.
Right.
Detaining.
I've been detained twice.
Been detained for something.
I was just there.
I was in downtown Seattle.
These guys got into a fight.
I was buying a hot dog at a hot dog cart.
Typical Josh Feierstein move.
But I saw it all go down and they bumped into the cart during the fight.
And I got detained for about half an hour.
I had to sit there.
I had to wait.
They took witness statements.
They got mine.
They thanked me.
They sent me on my way.
I drove home drunk.
It was a great night.
You really do hate this sober culture.
Wow.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding, of course.
But no, that's what detaining is.
It's like it's not this evil prison sentence.
You're getting sent to the gulag.
Well, then the left will also tell you all of this should be allowed to transpire.
Right.
Otherwise, it's a violation of basic Americans' rights.
And then they will also lament the fact that President Trump has said, okay, because of this now, funding to any sanctuary cities is going to be cut off.
Starting February 1st, we're not making any payments to sanctuary cities.
Yeah.
Or states having sanctuary cities because they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens, and it breeds fraud and crime and all of the other problems that come.
So we're not making any payment to anybody that supports sanctuary cities.
Can anyone explain to me, can anyone make the case, and this is an invitation to actual legitimate either professors, representatives who can make the case to me as to why a sanctuary city is anything other than, by definition, a violation of federal law?
All sanctuary city means is we're actually not going to enforce federal law.
We're not going to allow federal law to be enforced, as a matter of fact.
Can anyone explain to me how that makes sense?
And can anyone explain to me how people support that when they supported lockdowns of American citizens?
They'll do so in the name of freedom, fascism, jackboot thugs.
Well, you didn't want kids to go back to school for two and a half years or businesses to start up.
Remember, people eating outside with masks on and they were limited as to how much time they could spend on a table.
You didn't want people to be able to move in and out of states.
We look at other countries where you actually had concentration camps, quarantine camps for people who had COVID.
But now you're about freedom only when it involves not allowing federal law to be enforced.
And by the way, one of the most basic fundamental laws that a nation has to have that we know who's here.
Can anyone make the case?
Genuine invitation.
I doubt you'll get anybody to come in and do it and say anything other than, well, we don't like the law.
Yeah.
Or something very lawful.
That's it.
That's all you'll get.
Well, the law is wrong.
Well, that's not the answer to the question.
That's not how this works.
Because I've tried that before with the cop, and he was like, well, I get that you think the law's wrong.
Yeah.
But it's still the law.
I don't care.
Yeah, exactly.
I had that when I was pulled over with a broken taillight.
It had been broken that day.
And then I had about a three and a half hour drive to make it in Michigan.
And I got pulled over twice.
Hold the ticket up.
I've already got one.
I said, like, look, I got this here.
And then the guy was a Fox News fan and I had just been on Sean Hannity show the night before.
So he actually roadside discussed that for like 40 minutes.
Like, yeah, you know, it just seems like a really fun guy.
I'm like, yeah, yeah.
It's kind of late.
Can I get going here?
Yeah.
So yeah, he was like, I get you already have a ticket, but, you know, you can't drive with a broken tail.
I was like, yep, I get it.
I didn't know that was broken.
This brings us to the next piece of propaganda out there.
And this is one where I thought there must be a basis for it.
There absolutely must be something here.
There's a kernel of truth somewhere.
Otherwise, we wouldn't find ourselves.
Spoiler alert, I'll tell you the end.
That Mossad sent an agent to deliberately start the Patagonia wildfires in Argentina because Israel wants to set up a new Jewish state.
That's what?
Yeah.
So you would think, okay, so what's the jumping off point?
As of right now, it doesn't actually exist.
