The Scott Adams School - 3134 04/15/26 News Crew w/ BJ Dichter
Erica, Marcella, Owen, and BJ Dichter dissect Eric Swalwell's admission of lying amid sexual allegations, debating if this is a political tactic or part of a "mafia-style" backroom deal to remove incumbents. They analyze how international lobbying firms co-opt Irish protests over fuel prices and migration, while alleging Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Justin Trudeau secretly ended trucker protests through rigged electoral systems. Ultimately, the hosts argue that global political establishments manipulate citizens for profit, yet express hope that movements in Ireland, Spain, and France will resist this containment strategy.

Welcome to the Scott Adams School00:03:04
Was slightly embarrassing.
Yeah, thank you.
Good morning.
Good morning, Stephen, Crusher, Jackie, Bart.
Look how good.
You guys, good morning.
It's uh oh, it's April 15th.
You know what that means.
Time to pay the piper.
It's time to pay all the sexual allegations off in DC.
We got to fill the coffers.
It's time.
Or it's time to get your refund.
Oh, bless you, people that get refunds.
Yes, bless you, people.
Good morning to everybody except the IRS.
Yeah.
That's how I feel.
So I hope you guys either filed your extensions or you're getting them in today by midnight.
All right.
So welcome in, you guys.
We have one of your favorites and ours.
We have BJ with us today.
And who better?
We waited for BJ to talk about Ireland, which we're going to get to in a little bit.
Mr. Honking for Freedom can definitely let us know what the honking fighting Irish are doing.
There it is.
Where can they get that, by the way?
Honkingforfreedom.com.
Right there in his nameplate.
All right, you guys, I think we need to do something first.
I am parched.
Let's go.
If you'd like to make it as special as it could be, I'm talking extra special, you're going to need something.
Kyle, I hope you're prepared.
Because you're going to need something, and it could be several different things.
It could be a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
Fill it with your favorite liquid.
I like coffee.
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
The simultaneous sip.
Go!
Ah, feel the simultaneity coursing through your veins.
It's a good, good feeling.
Let it wash over you.
I hope Kyle enjoyed that.
I know, Kyle, especially all you Kyles out there.
So, you guys, welcome.
I'm Erica.
You're at the Scott Adams School.
Again, it is April 15th, 2026.
It is tax day in America.
So, get with it, people.
I'm here with the best co host in the world, Marcella.
Owen and returning BJ Dichter, how lucky are we to be together?
Right?
Let me see.
So, listen, you guys, I wanted to just start off recapping our boy Swalwell yesterday because there's not too much to add to it today, but I think we're going to be getting more and more information on him.
Designated Liars and Tax Day00:15:30
But did you guys see that press conference that I keep forgetting his name?
The guy that was maybe, maybe not in the room with him, Senator Gallego from Arizona, who is his bestie.
And he was helping running his presidential campaign, but had no idea about these things and the double life he was leading.
So he held the cringiest press conference yesterday.
And here's a little clip from that Eric Swell lied to all of us.
He lied to the most powerful people in this country.
And they trusted him, they trusted him with some of the most sensitive spots in our government, whether it was on the Judiciary Committee, Intel Committee, impeaching Donald Trump.
And that clouded my judgment.
My friendship with him, our family's friendship together with him, clouded my judgment.
And I was wrong.
I deeply, deeply regret that.
Oh, he has clouded judgment.
And then he might still have clouded judgment.
I'm thinking he might.
Do you think that was AI generated or is that just how he looks?
Oh, that wasn't him?
I don't know.
Well, he did go on to say this.
I don't know what's going on with his family, but it's definitely a horrible situation for family.
They're using that as a cover to attack me right now because they couldn't take back 2024 because they ran a horrible race.
But now this is what they want to do.
They just want to hurt me as much as I can.
Presidents, anything else like that, I don't care.
We're going to wait.
That's not even a thing right now.
The most important thing is I want to protect my family.
I want to protect my family's reputation.
And this is why we're talking about it right now.
Senator, you've gone on trips, on vacations, officially, unofficially.
You've gone out, presumably, with the congressman.
You've never even witnessed him, I don't know, engaging in an affair?
No.
No, what about no?
How do you explain some of the photos?
The one line I know you addressed one, but there is another one that she was supposed to be without shirts.
I mean, how do you address some of those compromising photos?
We were on a beach.
Yeah, I mean, I think you were on the desert and on some camels.
It was a beach and a camel, but it's a beach.
Yeah, oh my god, oh my god, this guy is gold.
He's so did you notice how he shut his eyes when he said no?
Yeah, to that question.
I think that's one of the lie tells.
When someone asks you a question and the person just shuts their eyes while they deny something?
I mean, this guy and Katie Porter could make my life complete.
Pretty amazing.
She has her own scandal coming up now.
Apparently, she's been accused of domestic abuse.
I think it was putting boiled potatoes over her husband's head or something.
They were mashed.
What a waste.
Mashed potatoes.
Okay.
Yeah.
But it was, you know, she stepped into it just by.
Trying to pile on to swallow.
Everyone was starting to respond with their own problems.
Oh, yeah.
Her divorce documents are chock full of goodies.
And I think she broke a coffee pot and chased her husband with the broken pot of glass, you know, the glass pot and all this stuff.
But she's so fun, you guys.
BJ, do you love this story or you hate it?
Is it non-surprising?
It's not very surprising.
It's a little bit disappointing.
I'll tell you why.
You know, I've run in two elections before and I'm involved in other campaigns.
And one of the things I first learned in politics.
Is I was told by somebody who's quite veteran and quite seasoned.
He said, The problem with politics today, the only way to get rid of somebody doesn't matter if they're laundering money for terrorism, if they're aligned with the CCP, if they're tied to organized crime, if they're tied to the Khalistani movement, none of that matters.
The only way you get rid of a politician now who is seated, an incumbent, is with some sort of Me Too or sexual allegation.
That's the only thing that sticks in our society right now.
So I get very.
I don't like swallow, of course, but I get uneasy with these things sometimes just because I know behind the scenes this is the tactic they use to destroy people's reputation.
I mean, he didn't have much reputation, anyways, but to get them out of office.
And that's part of the reasons one of the podcasts I produce is with a defense lawyer in Canada who focuses on false allegations because this is all over the political landscape.
It's kind of sad that it's come to that point.
Yeah.
So everything, you guys, these are our opinions, alleged, everything's alleged until.
Proven.
But, you know, so a good example of what BJ is talking about is like what happened to Mitt Romney, right?
They said, oh, the binder's full of women, and, you know, totally took his comment out of context.
And that actually hurt him back then.
That was so stupid.
But that's a good example of that.
Swalwell, I think these are some well known secrets.
As usual, you know, there's so many people that knew about these things.
No one says anything until it's politically convenient.
Nancy Pelosi pretending she didn't know anything about.
Him is rich.
You know, she can predict the stock market, but she doesn't know about Swalwell right there in California.
Okay.
But more importantly, I am wondering what Scott would think about all of this.
And let's see if we can find out.
Meanwhile, I always tell you about the designated liars, the DDLs, the Democrat designated liars.
So, Swalwell is one, Jamie Raskin is another, Adam Schiff is another.
There's a certain set of Democrats who will tell the big lie that is sort of part of the Nazi propaganda that regular Democrats won't do.
So, your normal Democrats will just sort of stay out of the news.
But the ones who want to be in the news, they will tell any lie.
So they're the ones saying, Trump wants to cut your Social Security.
There's literally no evidence of that.
And there's plenty of evidence that he says, absolutely not.
I won't do that.
But the designated liars will say it.
And people will believe it.
It's part of the Nazi propaganda that they use.
Well, here's one that Eric Swalwell is trying to push.
So despite all of the election denial.
Stuff that's happened over 2020.
Swallow was on some kind of podcast with some leftists.
Foreign enemies allegedly stole US data.
The leak came through Elon Musk's Starlink.
I mean, I'm sure you've heard people, based on all of this information that's happened since then, wonder if 2024 was secure.
Now, what evidence is there that Starlink was involved in any of the election stuff?
And certainly, what evidence was involved that if they were involved, I don't even think they were involved in any elections.
They're not part of the election system, as far as I know.
And what evidence would there be that they somehow participated in helping Russia get election data?
I mean, it's just a ridiculous accusation.
So, what does Swalwell say?
Elon Musk has done nothing in the last five months to make me think that we shouldn't ask questions about what the hell he was doing in 2024.
In other words, Swalwell, one of the Democrat designated liars, I want you to believe that the 2024 election might have been rigged by Elon Musk.
Meaning technically rigged, not just that he participated and that he funded stuff and he was effective in the campaign.
They don't like that.
But how shameless do you have to be to say something like this?
Well, we can't rule it out.
They certainly ruled it out in 2020.
So are we to believe that the election systems are that vulnerable?
If we are to believe that they're that vulnerable, then wouldn't they also have been vulnerable in 2020?
Or did they only become vulnerable when Trump won?
Just insane lies coming out of the designated liars.
Oh my gosh, so amazing.
And I love the way he says vulnerable.
So, Owen, I'm going to come to you first actually about this.
You know, what are your thoughts on what's going to go on?
I saw that you had an interesting post today, or you were talking to us about, you know, I was thinking there's going to be like a swallow effect where people are going to have to drop out of things.
And I think it's starting.
What do you think?
Yeah, well, what I find interesting, and maybe it's just a conspiracy theory, it's certainly just speculation, is that you had these sort of pairs of a Republican and a Democrat dropping out at the same time.
So you had Swallowell and the other guy on the Republican side, and now you have rumors that there's two more coming, and it just so happens to be another Democrat and Republican at the same time.
And kind of makes me wonder is there some kind of deal being made to say, okay, we'll get rid of our guy if you get rid of your guy?
And to BJ's point, I'm sure a lot of this corruption and Sexual misconduct is pretty widespread in Congress.
There's certainly plenty of rumors that have been around forever about a lot of people, and none of it ever seems to go anywhere.
Right.
And so now things are going somewhere in a limited way.
But it just seems very interesting to me that it's almost like simultaneously you have a Democrat and a Republican both resigning from Congress, and then you have another pair coming out at the same time, dropping out of Congress.
So I'm kind of wondering if there was some backroom deal to say, You know, okay, we'll not defend our guy if you don't defend your guy, and we'll just subtract these people from Congress.
I mean, maybe.
What do you think, Marcella?
Possibly, but, you know, there's a chance that even if there is such a deal that whoever is going to run for their positions, it could be another party that could get in the opposing party.
That the clip you played from Scott is very interesting because now I have a theory.
So he has the designated liars, and he always taught me, like, he always was like quizzing me, This is Scott.
And he'd be like, Is that the signature liar?
Is that a designated liar?
Now I know how you become a designated liar.
I have a theory about that, which is that they have we always had this theory, me and Scott, that they were being blackmailed.
Now, yeah.
It kind of comes out that the only reason that this all came out now is because they didn't need him anymore.
So the blackmail comes out.
Not the blackmail, but the truth comes out.
But the Jamie Raskins, the Adam Schiffs, the Hakeem Jeffries that are the current designated liars.
You know, Rokhana, we don't know what's behind them, but it just seems like that's how you become.
Because at the end of Scott's clip that you just played, he was saying, How would somebody just say these things like this?
Even politicians.
I see it in sort of a mafia frame where it's like the boss wants to keep themselves isolated and protected.
So they don't want to be the one, you know, firing the gun or taking the guy out back, but they need somebody to do it.
So they find somebody that's expendable or somebody they have dirt on or somebody that, you know, For whatever reason, it is not necessarily in their good graces.
And they just say, that's your job now.
And you don't have a choice.
You got to go do that.
Otherwise, you're going to have bad consequences.
Well, so, BJ, in my opinion, I think what happens is that it's like pay for play in a way where Swalwell can do all of these things that are allegedly all this Me Too stuff and possibly drugging and raping women is an allegation.
We're going to see where that goes.
And I think that he gets away with that because Nancy's like, listen, I need you to be the fall guy for this.
You're going to go out and tell this lie and this story.
And he does it with such a disgusting, straight face, knowing what a POS he is.
And it's kind of like a trade off.
And so, yeah, like you said, Marcella Nather is done with him.
And they needed everybody to rally around one person for governor in California.
And it couldn't be Swalwell because they knew this was all going to come out.
So they're like, we have to get him out now.
And they don't really care about Swalwell at the end of the day.
They're like, you're just here as our puppet to do what we need.
But now that you're problematic, you have to go.
We need to rally around someone else and bye bye.
And so, what do you think, PJ, about that?
Yeah, a couple of things.
Firstly, regarding the blackmail, I've famously said in many speeches here that the one piece of legislation that would never pass is mandatory drug or alcohol testing for legislators.
And that's all parties.
They're all party animals, many of them.
But it's never blackmailing.
It's never blackmailing because I've seen it on the inside.
It's, hey, we're going to have major opportunities for you in the future.
You may be able to run for president.
You may get a board seat on this company, play ball with us.
This is what the lobby structure does.
So, this is why the designated liars you'll always notice there's a parallel in their personality.
They're also the most ambitious.
And that's why.
Sorry for the fire alarm.
They're making me crazy here.
We can't hear it, I don't think.
Okay, perfect.
So, that's kind of how that's the frame in which I look at it.
And will there be any repercussions?
I think that no.
He's part of the political class.
This will die out, and he'll either be on MSNBC.
Or he'll be joining a board of a company like Burisma somewhere.
Perhaps.
Because they know all our attention spans are very short and we'll forget who he is after six months.
Alan Bragg is investigating him now.
So we'll see.
What do you think about that, Marcella?
Alan Bragg is looking into this.
Does that kind of change anything?
Well, the LA District Attorney's Office is going to file a case against him for rape, for allegations on rape.
And they're already doing it.
I think.
They're going to be doing it.
Alan, you know, I don't know if he has anybody there that is, I think the video is allegedly from New York.
The Fix Is In for Alan Bragg00:03:21
So, you know, it's hard to put on a case, even if Alan Bragg is going to do it.
It's hard to do that because you need that woman to participate and to accuse him.
And a lot of domestic violence and sexual abuse cases, they don't go forward because the sexual accuser.
Don't want to go and, you know, doesn't want to accuse the person.
The one that was on with Lisa Bloom, I think her name is Annika, she is fully cooperating and she said, I'm not saying that she was drugged and that he, I'll say, raped her so YouTube doesn't get mad, that he raped her and that she thought she was going to die and that he choked her allegedly.
So she, and she's going to fully cooperate, especially with Lisa Bloom, you know, that they're going to take it as far as they can.
And it's sad if it's true.
And I do domestic and sexual abuse cases myself.
And when you, in civil cases, right?
And when you deal with those types of accusations, most of the time, most of these.
Abusees or people that allege abuse, they usually, it's very hard for them to come out and say it because they're seeing, like you talked about yesterday, Erica, about Monica Lewinsky and how the Monica Lewinsky scandal became the Monica Lewinsky scandal and the blue dress and all that.
And we stopped talking about Bill Clinton.
So the same with this, like the focus is not on the actual accused, but on the accusee, you know.
I totally understand that it's really hard for people to come forward and go through all that and testify publicly and have all the, you know, relive the experience, but also just have people potentially saying, well, what did you do?
What were you wearing?
And all these other things that should be irrelevant to the process.
And so I totally get that.
But in terms of brag, I would say that to me might just be a sign that maybe the fix is in to keep him out of jail.
That, you know, when you have this progressive DA saying, oh, I'm going to do this investigation, it's kind of like I'm going to keep ownership of the investigation.
And suddenly there'll be some mishandling of evidence, or there'll be some weird thing happen, and then the charges will be dropped, or some deal will be made.
And that, to me, would be what I'd look for out of that sort of thing.
It'll also depend.
They say there's a lot more women coming out.
So we'll see what happens.
Stay tuned.
I mean, this could really be what it is like this serial abuser potentially with these horrible allegations.
And drugging people, and maybe he won't get away with it.
Maybe he'll be the big fish that they fry to shut everybody up.
Who knows?
But we'll see how many more congressmen or senators or politicians quietly resign from their positions, like Owen was predicting.
And we'll see what happens.
We'll definitely keep an eye on it.
The other thing I would throw in there is the dog not barking.
Eric Swalwell clearly was around a lot of these people, they knew what he was doing, even if they're going to deny it.
But what were those other people doing?
You know, like the guy that you just showed in the clip and all these other things, like they were there and they were probably doing similar things.
Gun Free Zone at High School00:03:13
And Eric Swallow knows all about it.
And he's not saying anything about those things.
But the media is also not asking, why is that?
Like they're not like, who took the video?
I mean, you know, the fix is always in with the media, right?
But I just think like he could bring a whole bunch down and he's not.
So I would imagine to me that's a sign that there is some deal.
Or some talks going on to say, we're going to make these things go away.
We're going to take care of you aboard, like BJ said.
We're going to give you some landing spot if you just stay quiet.
Yeah.
To be determined.
We'll see how it goes.
So, all right.
So, here's a little interstitial story.
So, if you want to sip away, this is a good news story.
And then we're going to get on to what I think is really good news, which is happening in Ireland.
I love to see what's happening there.
Okay.
So, you guys, have you seen this?
There's, A high school in Oklahoma, Paul's Valley High School, and a school shooter came in.
The principal, Kirk Moore, saw the guy with a gun and took him down.
Watch this.
So good.
The shooter is walking in.
The principal is going to come out from the back there.
And he's like, Oh, not today, Satan.
And the guy's got the gun in his hand.
Look at him.
Obsessed.
I love this.
Then another man who looks like his twin brother comes running out.
How much weight is on top of that guy?
Yeah, exactly.
We're all thinking that, Owen.
He takes the gun, okay, and walks away.
I mean, amazing.
That's like, that's what you want to see, right?
Does anyone want to see it again?
Let's do it one more time because that is some hero shit right there.
Did the principal get shot in the process?
No.
And look, the gun is pointing right at the principal when he comes out.
Look, pointing it right at him.
And he just said, nope.
Because I heard a story about this recently and then I saw this story come across and I skipped it because I thought it was just a duplicate.
So I think there was another principal that did something similar, but he got shot as part of the process.
Oh, yeah.
No, he got him.
So bravo to you, Principal Kirk Moore of.
Paul's Valley High School in Oklahoma potentially just saved lives, right?
And also, what those kids might never have experienced, seen, or known, including the teachers, there's a lot of PTSD that would have gone along with that and trauma.
So, that's amazing.
Good for him for being on it.
The other question is Was that a gun free zone in the school?
I believe it is a gun free zone.
Yes, I do.
So, the tackle method that guy probably went to that high school and he's like, I remember in varsity football, you put your head down and you tackle the guy.
So, but it's Oklahoma, right?
So maybe it wasn't a gun free zone.
And if it was only a gun free zone, then of course none of this would have ever happened, right?
That's right.
Like Canada, we never have shootings because guns are illegal.
The 47 Spike in Mass Migration00:05:20
Nothing ever happens here.
He's joking.
All right, you guys.
So let's get into the fighting Irish.
I love to call them.
And I say that fondly because.
BJ is going to kind of take us through what the backstory is.
And there's protests going on over there for a multitude of reasons.
So, BJ, I'm going to let you just kick us off and tell us what's the gist.
Okay, so I've spent a lot of time, as you can imagine, speaking with people in Ireland over the past week or so.
And I'm going to be in Ireland speaking next month, which is one of those amazing simulation alerts.
But it looks like right now, again, there's lots of fog of war.
Now I'm seeing it from the other side.
So in the Canadian protest, I could see all the fake narratives going out.
And now I'm seeing the other side of it.
And boy, are the parallels completely wild!
It's absolutely fascinating.
I think the first thing is, where are we now?
It seems to be that the protest is largely disbanded, but there are things occurring periodically around the country, little uprisings and blocking of traffic here and there.
And I think that's probably not going to stop.
But it's interesting, you'll notice, and I'm going to get into this person from the very get go, there was just this vigor and intolerance.
Toward any sort of protest and activism.
But where was that with, I don't know, George Floyd or anything?
So it's interesting.
There's always enforcement versus interpretation, depending where you are in the political scale, right?
What are they protesting?
I'm going to explain that.
Thanks.
Okay.
So right now, the latest thing was there was a confidence vote yesterday, and that confidence vote was defeated.
Basically, confidence vote to bring down the government.
And there were 92 votes in favor of the government supporting the government and 78 not supporting the government.
People sometimes get that confused.
They call it a not confidence vote.
And so the idea is they got close to maybe bringing down the government, but they didn't.
And what I've been told is it is, and this happens in politics all the time, this is largely just posturing to bring pressure off the government to say, no, there's people here, we're listening, and all that sort of calm people's heads.
All right.
But right now, from what I'm told, I'm led to believe, and I think from what we see online, that seems to be consistent.
And that is about 80% of the people are behind the farmers and the truckers.
This is mainly a farmers' protest with some truckers there, too, just because, you know, smaller islands.
So that's going to be obvious to indicative of its culture.
But, you know, the first thing I've learned in politics is everyone cares about their money.
And it doesn't matter where they are in the political spectrum.
And Ireland has faced a massive spike in energy costs, so fuel predominantly.
That seems to be what the major grievance is that 47% spike in fuel prices over such a short period of time.
We're talking months.
And so that's a 47% spike in fuel taxes plus service fees.
Plus, if you really want to piss people off, throw on an administration fee.
That's like, what's the service fee?
To print the piece of paper?
So it's that sort of sadistic stuff.
So it seems to be around the taxation.
That's really one of the primary drivers of this.
The other primary driver that everybody knows, but nobody is saying publicly because it makes cowardly politicians uncomfortable, is mass migration, and particularly mass migration from the Middle East and North Africa.
And that has brought in some of the same destabilizing forces that we see in France and England, and is now in Ireland as well.
And people are fed up with that.
Politics that are getting involved when you hear them try to sneak in, oh, it's the carbon tax narrative, like it's a bureaucrat that's running the protest, but it's not.
It's those two things.
The cost of fuel, I think, is genuine, but it's also the migration.
They were already fed up with the migration issue.
It was sometime.
Ireland's small, you know, and then all these people are flooding in who have nothing to do with them.
And they were already fed up.
They were scared.
They were feeling like their country was being lost.
And now with the fuel issue, and Is it like the, I don't understand the system there, but like the equivalent, like Democrat people, are they blaming the Iran war?
Because I hear them using Trump's name that this is why their fuel costs.
It's funny.
I will get to that.
It's funny you brought that up.
So first, we got to start with an individual.
Police Commissioner with Irish Accent00:02:21
There's the woman who came out, Shawna Coxon.
She is the police commissioner, the deputy police commissioner.
She is an OOM.
Which is an honors and merit in law enforcement, meaning she kissed the right political ass.
Family and policing, I kind of know how it works.
And she's a PhD.
Oh, isn't that interesting?
And more on that, you can listen to my stream because I kind of outlined what's happening with PhDs in law enforcement.
But what is really interesting, people didn't notice from the get go, she came out two days in already.
And basically, we're going to bring in the Tiananmen Square, she's going to come to.
Ireland, and we're going to crush them all, zero tolerance, all that sort of stuff, because there's no George Floyd there.
But what was interesting when she read that statement, and I'm going to tell you this, and you're going to be, wait, that's true.
I didn't notice that.
Did you notice a significant lack of an Irish accent?
Listen to her again.
She doesn't have an Irish accent.
I wish I had her up here.
Yeah.
Why is that?
Well, she's imported.
She's Canadian.
Oh, you Canadians.
And she happens to be, this will enrage some people in Canada in our politics here because they always know way more than they think I do.
She was the lead inspector on the ground in Ottawa working under the RCMP and OPP's guidance to crush the protest.
She was the representative for the Toronto police squads that came up.
She is a radically woke ethno communist.
I like to refer to that perspective.
And she was the first person to escalate and demand mass arrests in Ottawa amongst the lead inspectors, right?
And that's what fanatics always do.
She's a religious fanatic, she just happens to be progressive, but they always escalate, which is exactly what she did.
And I thought this might be a really good opportunity.
I wish I had a whiteboard, but this isn't a whiteboard platform.
Sorry, I don't mean to drop, but I'm sorry, I had something come up I need to drop.
Sorry about that.
All right, Ellen.
All right.
So, you know, Scott always talked about he'd like to take a systems view of things and look at the systems approach.
Star Power vs Grassroots Movements00:15:46
And there is a system that is used in politics, and that is the capture and containment strategy that is used, right?
And this is where, and people get uncomfortable with it, this is where the left and right political structures scratch each other's backs, right?
This is why one thing that Scott always said is very important to understand and remember it's not your opposition that brainwashes you.
It's the people on your side that you think you should trust.
They're the ones who brainwash you because you have your guard down.
That's how they can break through the critical faculty, right?
And it doesn't mean this is all nefarious, but often it is, sometimes it's not.
This is what's going on.
This is why you see so many parallels.
And I think this will explain what's happening.
So, first, there is a process.
That was used against us, that is used against other grassroots movements, usually on the right, but it's sometimes on the left if the wrong people are in charge of it.
The first step is first, they got to identify that there's a movement, that there's a political movement.
So, in the case of Canada, similar in the United States, we have what's called riding associations.
You have district associations.
And the people in particular in Canada, Ireland is the same way.
And I know the UK is the same way because I've spoken to people there.
The people are in the riding associations.
They are usually the people who are on the board seats.
You know what they are?
Political lobbyists.
My riding association in my camp, I couldn't figure out initially why.
Why is everybody a lobbyist on my board, on my writing board?
Well, now that I know how it all works, it makes sense.
So, what they do is when they see, they use those writings or district associations to monitor if there's any political uprising or movement in a particular area.
And once something happens, there's a grievance narrative.
Somebody in the local writing reaches out to their members and their volunteers, say, who can go help them?
Help them, meaning take them over, right?
Let's get involved.
And then what happens is step one, They try to get involved and capture it and capture the momentum to say, hey, our political party is there with you.
We're going to support you in the next election, but we need you to vote for us.
Come volunteer and join a campaign.
If the people who are starting to gather say, you know what, yeah, you're right, we're going to get involved, boom, success, it's over and it's done.
They've now killed the early stages of political movement.
But what happens if that's rejected and they say, no, no, we're not going to do that?
Well, then the next step they'll do.
The next step in this system is they're going to bring somebody who has clout or name recognition or prestige in the community to join in this movement.
And they'll say, okay, I'm going to reach so and so, a member of parliament, an activist, a business person who's politically tied, and we're going to get them involved.
They're going to help you.
So now people think, oh, Star Power.
Oh, now we have a star who's involved with us.
Great.
And that Star Power joins this new group and they will take an administration role.
An administration role in their social media.
They'll work it for a month or so.
They'll help it grow.
And then they'll delete and remove the founders.
Boom, gone.
This happened with something called No More Lockdowns in Canada, which was an anti COVID thing.
It was co opted by a member of parliament who was working for the establishment.
And so now they have captured this new thing and they can either, they're going to try to cause all sorts of disorganization, mixed messaging, get people to turn off of it, try to bring in bureaucracy.
Anything they can to get people to say, you know what, I was with them when they started.
I was with Wexit when they started, but you know what, it's died.
This is going nowhere.
And then it disbands and it goes away.
So that's the second step to success.
But what happens if that's rejected?
Now that is rejected usually because of one reason.
The movement has significant momentum in alternative media and it won't die.
It's on the podcast tour.
People are talking about it on YouTube.
And so the star power.
Gets more actively involved and tries to identify their name with the movement.
And they regularly engage in protests.
They'll go on podcasts.
They'll do interviews, all that.
So now the Star Power name is tied to the movement that keeps growing that the political establishment was unable to control.
And then what happens?
Eventually, the legacy media finally is called and gets involved.
And they'll start reporting it on it the afternoon news, maybe in the morning drive, maybe on talk radio.
And then eventually, when it hits the evening news, it's always evening news, it becomes a story, one of the five leading stories.
That this movement is there and this person is the spokesperson.
What does the star power do every time?
He says something about the mid century Germans, he says something about Hitler, or he says something about the Jews.
And there's a reason they do that because now they want to associate craziness with this new movement that is anti political establishment.
And that is to gain instant dismissal of regular voting people who are passively engaged in politics.
They don't really understand what's going on.
All of a sudden, they see a freedom movement on the six o'clock news and they're all pro the Third Reich.
Okay, they're all crazy.
Dismiss them.
And you've seen this in many things no more lockdowns in Canada, many of the end COVID programs in many countries, the Tea Party movement in the United States.
I know some people that were involved in that.
That was all co opted with this same strategy to bring somebody who has some star power.
And then say, bring in some crazy people and say some crazy stuff, and it just withers and dies.
Who killed the Tea Party here, or who was the star power?
I don't remember.
I mean, I remember the whole movement, but.
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, when Breitbart was a big part of it, I don't know who was the individual there because I have a friend who was involved in the Tea Party movement.
We were discussing this a couple of years ago, and he said, everything you're describing is exactly what happened to us.
And that's how it ended up being under control.
So look at what happened in Ireland.
Okay, you have these Irish protests that parallel the Canadian protests, right?
How can we identify this containment strategy, which is what it was?
It started off grassroots.
Then I mentioned this in my live stream, I started to get very concerned with some of the international political activists who started to orbit this protest and they start following everybody in Ireland online and reaching out and sending them DMs.
Oh, yeah, you know, we're, and usually people behind the scenes, you know, political people, but they're people behind the scenes.
And again, we know the primary was the excessive fuel cost, but then they'll inject a political cause, like a political messaging, which is, oh, it's the carbon tax, which it really wasn't at that point, but that's to make it digestible so they can get involved.
And what happened is, in the last few days, remember this strategy step one, step two, and step three.
Step three is the defamation campaign.
What happened two days before, as they were just starting to break up the protests the last couple of days?
What happened in step three?
A new narrative was introduced that was never there.
It was about fuel prices and migration.
But two days ago, what do we start to hear online?
Fuel prices are high because of Israel's war.
That is the weapon they use to crush everything.
That is the division that they use in the West.
And it dates back to the Holy Land Foundation terrorism trials.
You can see it in evidence that was submitted in that case.
All right.
So, BJ, I have a clip about that.
Okay.
And this is Michael Healy Ray.
He's the Minister of State.
And, oh, no, sorry.
This one is Ken O'Flynn.
I love these names.
Ken O'Flynn.
So he talks about the Trump effect and the war effect right here.
And I love this man.
Okay, let's just take a quick listen and then we'll talk about it.
The reality is they've blamed Trump for absolutely everything.
We've heard government get up and stand about Trump.
Donald Trump isn't in charge of Nora.
He's not in charge of the carbon tax in this country.
He's not in charge of that in this country.
And he's not in charge of excise.
What did Sean Canny do?
He said, go out and walk or go out and cycle.
Big Jim James Bond himself wrote and do.
He said, We'll turn the army on our own citizens, which is reminiscent of something that you would hear in South America.
It is reminiscent of a Piranist.
And then we have the man that turned away from the woman in Kentucky not so long ago during this election and we didn't want to hear.
And all of a sudden, he's gaslighting the country saying, He's concerned.
He's concerned about the 900,000 people on waiting lists all of a sudden.
He's concerned about the 60,000 people on housing lists.
He's concerned.
Concerned about the 116,000 people that are waiting for HAP.
That's what this government is concerned about.
You're concerned about nothing, only serving yourselves.
And I applaud Deputy Healy Ray and I say well done to him for having a bit of backbone.
And if those that turned up at the protests down in White Gate or anywhere else in the country, in Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, that turned up there and said, We're with you, lads, and we're going to get rid of me, Hall, in a couple of weeks, if any of you have any bit of backbone, join with Healy Ray and vote against this government and let's call the election.
Thank you.
Okay, now, just speaking of Healy Ray, here is Healy Ray.
He is the Minister of State.
And listen to him.
And because of the fact that I believe this government has left the people of Ireland down, I will be voting no confidence in the leader of the country.
And I will be tindering my resignation as a Minister of State from now.
And I would ask that future governments and this government would listen, that they would be kind, that they would be understanding.
Amazing.
Just what we were saying here, right?
Yep.
And, you know, there's one person on the international stage who has been able to repeatedly break through this strategy of containment and defamation of political movements that are not controlled by any establishment.
And by the way, there are many different establishments.
They're almost like political cartels.
There's one person who's been able to break through all of them.
And his name is Donald Trump.
And that's why they hate him so much.
I've heard this from people before.
In politics, that this is our arena.
This is not the arena for business people.
Our business is politics.
If you come in here and you think you're going to take it over, you're going to get your head cut off.
That is the frame that the political establishments use as they view the world.
But Trump was able to break through it, and that's why they are absolutely obsessed with him.
But this is kind of how it works.
And once you understand this system and this process, once you can see it, you see it everywhere.
And it happens on the left too, again, when it's not contained.
It gets really difficult to shake.
It actually gets quite annoying because you become so predictive.
Movement starts up.
Oh, yeah, they're going to do this.
They're going to do this.
They're going to go to the media.
And then they're going to bring in some maniac.
Oh, there's the maniac.
OK, when's the maniac going to say something stupid?
Oh, here we go.
Four weeks in, the maniac said something stupid, and everybody's walking away from what could have been a good and legitimate grassroots movement.
Yeah, that's such a great summation, BJ.
Bravo.
Very good.
Everyone in the chat.
I have a question for you, BJ.
In regards to the opposition party, Sean Fahn, aren't they the opposition party that called in the confidence vote?
Aren't they the left socialist party that was supporting this movement?
Yeah, so it's very interesting.
This is where the dynamic becomes very difficult for people to shake this because we do live in this kind of binary framing of the world that we think there is a left and right.
There's not.
Well, there is, but I mean, maybe not in Ireland politics.
There's a political lobby class.
And what's changed in the world, what's causing so much problems, is it used to be that the lobby firms that would provide products to political parties, like for example, Political parties don't come up with their mandates and they don't come up with their election strategy.
They go to a strategic management firm, they do a feasibility study, they do polling, and they come back and they tell you these are your top five issues for the next election.
They used to be localized, now they're international companies, sometimes laundering money as well for people who wanted so division in the West.
That's how you get Boris Johnson on the right.
And Joe Biden on the left, both saying, build back better.
It's the establishment lobby class who is in power versus everybody else.
And whoever is in the opposition, they're just going to say and do whatever products they are given by their strategic management firms.
That's going to be messaging that they think is going to resonate with people.
So the fact that they are more socialist or more free market people becomes irrelevant.
Pretty wild, eh?
What do you think, Marcel?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it's interesting that Sean Fane is supporting the.
And I was thinking maybe that was part of the co opting of the movement is to make it be like we're one with the people, we're, you know, socialist uprising, basically a farmer uprising that we would see in Latin America or we would even see in California with the Farmer Workers Union and things like that.
Well, yeah, they're always going to try to co opt whatever they, I mean, the conservatives.
Will do that as well.
This is why not many people watched the testimony in the Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy or their trucker convoy.
We had a national inquiry that lasted, what, six weeks, and I was one of the people who testified.
This is what I was trying to explain to people.
But unfortunately, it was so controlled and constricted, and I was the one person who was denied the opportunity for my lawyer to ask questions of the other 21 parties.
It was me versus 21 other parties.
Everybody got to ask questions and make assertions.
I couldn't.
I couldn't map this out for people on the record.
I can only respond to questions.
So we kind of did our best.
Wait, why?
Rigged Ridings and Liberal Territories00:10:35
Because it's so rigged.
Everything.
I mean, the judge was appointed by Trudeau.
Like, the big thing, the takeaway that people in Canada misunderstand, and this is the cognitive biases that get assigned to us.
Oh, I'm a conservative.
Or I'm a liberal, so I'm always going to support the conservatives.
I'm always going to support the liberals.
It becomes tribal.
The problem with that is people get blinded to see something that was very important and very evident there.
And that is this the leader of the conservative party and Justin Trudeau trading emails and getting on the phone and saying how they need to put an end to the protest.
So at one point, one side, they're trying to go on social media, oh, we support the truckers, we support the truckers so much, but behind the scenes, they're on the phone.
Saying, how can we put an end to it?
Who do we have on the ground that can put an end to it?
Who can sabotage it?
Who are the big people in play?
Who's somebody we can offer something to?
Because the political establishment cares about one thing the political establishment.
Because this is their business, this is what they do for a living.
And now these firms are in, you know, there's certain firms I'm thinking of, particularly Washington, D.C., Ottawa, Canberra, Australia, the United Kingdom in London, they're in the Netherlands.
They're in all over Europe and France.
Like they've become large international corporations.
And that's what's causing all this chaos.
And everybody's going to one side or the other around the world because it's very, very profitable.
This is a shame.
It's a shame.
And I, my heart is breaking for these Irish people that just want to save their country and get back to who they were.
I feel like this is a common thread that can pull this world together is that so many countries are feeling this way, you know, that we've been taken over.
Our vote doesn't matter.
What we say doesn't matter.
Our country doesn't matter anymore.
I mean, the fact that there's a Canadian in there in Ireland, like, Why, you know, and no offense, but again, with the women, can we stop?
Um, so it's just my little joke.
Um, but anyway, but not a joke.
Um, so yeah, I just feel bad because I feel like everybody, like we don't know what to do.
We, you know, even so, I want to say, you know, we have to look at ourselves here in America.
You know, we see a lot of things going down this path also.
Um, without getting specific, just as a whole, you see that we have less and less say, or it appears to be that we have less and less of a say of.
How our country is run and what happens.
And, you know, people get into office, they don't listen to one thing their constituents are saying.
It's like, they're like, oh, yeah, I just need to be here so I can keep making the deals behind the scene.
Whatever you say doesn't really matter because I have a grander picture with my lobbyists and NGOs and this and that.
And I want to, you know, pad my bank account and everything else.
So I don't know.
I don't know the answers.
I wish I did.
Can I give you some positive framing?
No, that would be a call.
Yeah.
Mm hmm.
All of this is why I'm so positive about the future.
Because now people know.
Now I can be on this platform with this.
We've known this for many, many years in politics.
But now it's going to become regular discourse, just like 10, 12 years ago when I would talk about political entryism from extremist groups and all that sort of stuff.
And people would do this.
Politicians didn't want to hear about it, it was fringe ideas.
Now it's become mainstream and people are fed up.
And I think I'm really quite hopeful for.
Ireland.
There's always going to be bumps in the road.
Change is not easy.
Change has friction.
But I think Ireland has a particular spirit in the fact that, like, not that Ireland has any, I don't know, violent uprisings in its past, but they're not a group of people you want to screw with.
I have full faith in them.
And right now, Ireland is, it's hyperbolic to use the word powder keg.
That might be a little too much.
But I think it's fertile ground.
To build, to further the opposition movement to collectivism that we're seeing.
That's what Donald Trump represents.
And that is now going to spread to Ireland.
It's spreading in Spain right now, it's spreading in France.
We have all of Latin America.
Well, most of Latin America has come to a more rational, centrist perspective politically.
So this is all amazing.
I can't believe we're in such a good position compared to where we were 10, 15 years ago when it was significantly worse and nobody knew about it.
Yeah, Marcella, do you want to chime in on this?
Well, I wanted to get your input on the Canadian special elections.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I was trying to explain to some people.
So, Canada, I'm going to say something, your heads are going to explode.
Canada is a right wing country.
I'm sorry it's not a left wing country.
And if people understood the distribution of the ridings and how it's kind of rigged a little bit, they would understand it.
It's essentially three cities that have twice as many districts as all of Alberta.
One city is twice as much as one of the most economically prosperous.
What are the controlling cities?
Montreal slash Ottawa, I consider them the same.
Toronto and Vancouver.
That really is what concerns them.
They're running the country.
Okay.
Yeah, and that's where all the kind of woke activism is.
All the woke money goes to the universities on those campuses, and it's not a new strategy.
So I was trying to explain to a couple of people who asked me about this in the US yesterday that, firstly, by elections always go to liberal parties in Canada.
They always go to them because people who are on the more conservative side were working.
We're working.
Half of us don't even know that there's an election because they're not broadcasted the same way that a general election is.
The media doesn't focus on it.
So, all the on the grounds activist groups, they just kind of put all their energy into it.
And by default, the conservatives never do well in by elections.
But more importantly, what are the ridings?
Remember, I explained the distribution of the ridings, and I gave this one example.
One of the ridings that was 67% went to the liberals, and everybody's like, oh my God, look, look how bad the conservatives are doing.
And I'm like, What are you talking about?
That's where I ran in the first election.
I know that riding like the back of my hand.
I know all the people, the gay community is there.
That is the wealthiest riding in all of Canada.
That's where all the hardcore, old school, old liberal money lives.
I believe Carney has a house there, and Krista Friedland lives there as well.
Like, that is, it might as well be the campaign office for the Liberal Party.
So, like, yeah, of course it's going to go to the Liberal Party.
Everybody knew that.
And that's probably why the Conservatives didn't focus.
And allocate a lot of money in this election to those ridings because they know it's already a foregone conclusion because of business interests.
As Scott always talked about, you got to look at the competing interests and follow the money.
The people who live in the wealthiest area of the country, they all have business ties to the Liberal Party.
They're not going to vote against that.
Would you be crazy?
And the same thing for the other one riding was maybe a swing riding, maybe if the conservative.
What is the riding?
Oh, a district.
A district.
Okay.
Yeah, I was like, they're riding a lot of horses.
Sorry, I forgot American eyes.
So, yeah, that district is basically campaign headquarters for the Liberal Party.
What do you think it's going to go?
So, people are like, look, it's look how liberal Canada is.
No, it's a few liberal cities, but like when you go outside of the cities, you just start driving an hour north, or you go to Timmins or Capascasing or Red Deer, Alberta, or Grand Prairie.
Those are not liberal territories.
At all, so what happened?
I mean, um, I think we need to explain to the audience is that on Monday there was a Canadian special election for three writings, three different positions, and they all went to the Liberal Party, who is ran by the Prime Minister Mark Carney.
And now, uh, he has 174 seats in the um, I guess, parliament, yeah, yeah, and there's 343 seats overall.
And so they now have a majority.
And it's crazy.
He claims it to be this big victory.
Yes.
And the bigger problem was conservative members of parliament crossing the floor and leaving their party and going to the liberals, be the equivalent of a Republican leaving and joining the Democrats.
We've had a few of them.
And one of them in particular, Gladue, I remember telling people in our party, and look, I'm pretty libertarian.
I'm not a social conservative, but I'm very.
Fiscally conservative, and there's a couple of issues.
As you know, I am, you don't get more conservative than I am.
But I was telling these people, like, what are you having these morons run in the Conservative Party?
And all the lobbyists are like, oh no, she's really good.
She's got to get in office.
She's on our side.
And what I'm like, she's a liberal.
She's part of the Liberal Party.
This is why they try to protect their party so much because when push comes to shove and you have this scenario where there's a minority government, those people just jump ship and join the ruling party.
And this particular person, Gladu, I know some people live in her riding.
Now her riding's going crazy because it is like a Conservative stronghold.
And they're going nuts.
Can you imagine, like, a conservative stronghold in rural Texas?
All of a sudden, their representative shifts to the Democratic Party.
Like, you wouldn't want to go.
Do they have a say?
I mean, do they have any kind of say?
I know we're almost running out of time.
That's the problem.
There's no demand that there is an election.
You know, there should be, it should be that people in good conscience would go to the polls again after they've shifted parties, but that's not the law here.
See, everybody, even Canada, has their Abigail Spambergers too.
Right?
