My friends, I am eternally grateful for all of you as members.
Because of the insurrection that took place at the Longworth House building when violent, violent members of Stephen Colbert's staff breached the Longworth building in an act of violence and were arrested.
Now Colbert is trying to defend this insurrection against these United States.
Disgusting.
unidentified
I eat when I'm stressed, so the whole thing has just got me.
Tucker didn't say they were in the Capitol building.
Colbert is a piece of shit.
He's a liar.
This is how they manipulate you.
Tucker Carlson was making a point that when the police opened the door to the Capitol building, not the rioters, but on the other side of the building, one of these guys, his name was Martin something, he gets acquitted because there's a video of him being fanned in by cops.
And the judge was like, yeah, he was let in.
Colbert's people were told to leave and then broke back in.
So this is a combination of things.
I don't think we're going to see any real charges, and I think this is an example of the machine protects itself.
And I'll add on top of this, which will bring us into the bigger conversation, I suppose.
Perhaps I am biased, but we've been threatened and have dealt with so much bullshit, and I wonder why it is law enforcement hasn't done anything about it, haven't found these guys, haven't stopped them.
You know what?
To be fair, with January 6th, it took them months to years to find some of the people involved in the riot.
Maybe in a year we can see the people who have been swatting us and coming after us getting, you know, getting charged or something like that.
But I don't know.
I view this as... Maybe people don't care this much, but when I was talking about this on the main show that we're frogs in a pot and the water's starting to boil, this story actually, in my opinion, is probably one of the most serious stories in the context of a civil war is coming.
Stephen Colbert, late night TV, forced to defend seven staff members who broke into a congressional office building in the dead of night and have to explain away why it was not an act of insurrection against the United States government is fucking nuts.
You're saying because this guy now has to step up into the culture war, where usually he's controlling the culture war, usually, you're saying now he's in it?
I wrote on Twitter, if this is insurrection, then Colbert's staff did way worse.
CNN reported a federal judge found Matthew Martin not guilty of four federal misdemeanor charges related to trespassing, marking the first time a U.S.
Capitol riot defendant was acquitted.
Martin worked as a contractor, blah, blah, blah.
He argued, successfully, a Capitol Police officer waved him into the building.
At least one video played during the trial appeared to show an officer moving his arm in a waving motion.
Not only that, but they opened the doors.
They call that an insurrection.
They don't distinguish between those who were let into the building and took selfies with cops, which was many of these people, and those who were fighting with cops on the other side of the building, multiple entrances.
Stephen Colbert's staff was told to leave.
Got it.
They were told not to come back.
They were let in, reportedly by Adam Schiff, and they were banging on doors and, like, causing a ruckus after hours.
That is worse than what these other people were charged with.
The people who are fighting, trying to break in to shut down something, fine.
Call it whatever you want.
This guy, Matthew Martin, wasn't insurrecting.
He wasn't trying to shut down anything.
He was let in and he walked around like, you know, they call them MAGA memos.
Regardless, I can understand why you'd be like, well, all of these people there were doing something.
Sure, whatever.
My point is, for one, he's wrong.
What his staff did was worse.
It wasn't the Capitol building.
It was a Longworth building.
But the big thing here is, I was kind of shocked to see Stephen Colbert have to come out and talk about his involvement in the culture war.
We look at this right now and we're like, but nothing happened.
His staff were just telling jokes.
Why is it a big deal?
Because if four years ago I said, In four years, Stephen Colbert, as the host of The Late Show, will have to address why seven of his staff members were arrested after breaking in or being illegally allowed to enter by a Democrat into a Congressional building, and the Capitol Police had already told him to leave, and he explained to his audience of two million people why this was not an insurrection against the federal government.
You'd be like, shut the fuck up!
That's insane!
There's no fucking way a late night comedian is going to go on TV and talk to the entire country and say, my staff did not try to overthrow the government.
No, you got a bunch of Sargon of a kind, Carl Benjamin, and he's like, that Danisa Tarkisian is, is a ho-ho laughable and cunt or whatever he would say about her.
I don't know, Sargon, big fan.
And, uh, imagine going back to Carl Benjamin in 2013 and saying, in 10 years, Stephen Colbert will be the host of The Late Show, taking over for who, Jay Leno?
Who did he take over for?
I don't fucking know.
unidentified
Yeah, was it Leno? Yeah, it was supposed to be Conan. Conan got fired and then...
And you'll be like, oh, okay, I mean, that sounds believable.
And in 2022, seven of his staff members will have been arrested for
illegally entering a congressional building.
He will then be facetiously accused of staging an insurrection against the government,
and he'll be forced to address it because Capitol Police will have arrested his staff.
You'd be like, shut the fuck up.
And you might be like, okay, well, that sounds like a joke.
Yes, but a year and a half prior, 800 or so Trump supporters, supporters of then-President Donald Trump, will break into the Capitol.
They'd go, okay, fuck you!
No fucking way!
I'm just like, in 10 years' time, Donald Trump became president, was accused of being a Russian agent, Joe Biden, Ukrainegate, January 6, Texas v Pennsylvania, all of this.
When I see these things, I see January 6th, I'm like, holy fuck, dude.
I watched that happen.
It was scary.
Facebook basically banned me.
They booted me from the partner program for putting up a video covering what happened on January 6th.
Fuck Facebook.
And I remember watching that happen, thinking this is insane.
I'm saying this is the factionalization at all levels.
It could result in peaceful divorce.

You see, the whole reason why, I mean, the reason why I do what I do so much and why I spend so much of my time and energy doing this is because I don't want it to fall into civil war.
Because I don't, I want to create an option for people to still make this viable so that people could say, you know what, when we're ready to have that battle and that fight and we're angry, there's some group of people or some individual I can go to to say, look, Larry, can you and your people, can you walk us through this?
Right?
Not, I hate the left or I hate the right so much that the only answer is, we're gonna start shooting each other.
And we've got stories about liberal-leaning people fleeing West Virginia, too.
geographic hyperpolarization is happening.
You've got Roe v. Wade is gonna return power to the states.
Colorado removes all restrictions.
You can abort a baby at nine months.
Texas says not after six weeks.
I think it was Kansas or Oklahoma said none at all.
So once Roe v. Wade is overturned, tons of states are gonna outright ban it.
So what I'm saying is, for one, I will say, my initial statement was not that this ultimate,
that I was saying a civil war was happening, though I do think the most likely of the outcomes
will be a civil war because it is too optimistic to believe that after a peaceful divorce,
people just don't fight.
I think what is likely to happen is, just like the first Civil War, several states will declare their intent to secede, and for several months, nothing will happen.
And new trade agreements will emerge, states will stop working with each other, trade agreements will disappear, and then you will get a new president who says, fuck you, send in the tanks.
So, fine, then I don't know why we're fighting over this.
Okay, yes, it's always been true.
My point being, either way, executives control the violence today.
Whether that has always been true or not, fine.
They control the violence.
If we don't have executives who agree to decentralization, to your point, a president will come in, or a governor will come in, or a mayor will come in and say, I'm not accepting this, I'm the ruler, and I will then put violence upon it.
We have to elect people who are executives, mayors, governors, presidents, who are okay with localization.
That's the way you asked, how do we make it peaceful?
That's how we make it peaceful.
We make it peaceful if executives are elected who go, I'm okay with decentralization.
And what I'm saying is, I don't want to be blackmailed.
So what I'm saying is, you may be right, and it may fall into this, but I don't want to be a guy that ten years from now has to look back to the violence and I say, I didn't do everything I could to stop this violence.
I'm doing, and maybe it is a lottery, but you know what?
How do you convince the people who are leading these liberals and filling their minds with garbage Hey guys, Josh Hammer here, the host of America on Trial with Josh Hammer, a podcast for the First Podcast Network.
Look, there are a lot of shows out there that are explaining the political news cycle, what's happening on the Hill, the this, the that.
There are no other shows that are cutting straight to the point when it comes to the unprecedented lawfare debilitating and affecting the 2024 presidential election.
We do all of that every single day right here on America on Trial with Josh Hammer.

unidentified
America on Trial with You mean, how do I convince them?
But I could convince him if I could give him something else.
And the example I'll give you is, the left will often talk about things like, well, the rich should pay more.
They should pay their fair share.
They should pay for this or pay for that.
I hear it all the time.
So what do I tell them?
I say, well, how about we set up a system to where the wealthy companies can sponsor with naming rights for a bridge in New York City and spend $100 million a year to sponsor that bridge, and then that money will go to pay for the MTA.
So, I can't speak for New York, but I thought what you thought, that the rich people were avoiding all this stuff, but we talked with James Lindsay and Christopher Rufo, and it turns out it's actually the most woke, and the highest level of indoctrination is among the rich kids.
So, the issue is, the people funding Colbert, you look at Felicia Sanmez and Taylor Lorenz, the stars of the Washington Post, they're leading the charge, and you can't convince them because they're zealots, they're in a cult.
So you can go to a regular person, I do it all the time, and I'll say something like, what is an assault weapon? And they'll say, I don't know.
And I just will calmly talk to people on Facebook and often it's fine. But the problem is those
people are not involved in politics.
So you can try and earn their vote. But the core factions, the people who are watching Colbert,
who are following this stuff, they believe, I'll tell you this, man.
This is why I told Steve Bannon he's wrong.
Donald Trump lost.
Because people I knew who had no business in politics, who know shit all, went out and filmed videos of themselves carrying their mail-in ballots to a mailbox like, I'm doing my part, are you?
I know they're not, but this was people who were my friends, who all of a sudden were like, the Nazis have taken over, they're marching.
I tell you this, when I saw people I grew up with doing the red salute in Chicago, I said, something fucked is coming.
And when my friend, who knows jack all about bullshit, doesn't care about it, all of a sudden is talking about why Marx was right and doing red salutes, Give it 10 years.
Maybe you look at the people who are voting the older generation, the boomers.
I do.
And when they age out in 10 years, and millennials and Gen Z come in, it's going to be fucking balls to the wall psychosis.
It feels a whole lot better to say those rich people, they're the bad guys and you and you're bad because of them versus I have to take responsibility for my actions or I suck.
That doesn't feel good at all.
So they give me the right message.
Well, if I give them a better message, they will take it.
People tend to want hope, but you've got to give it to them in a way they can accept it and take it.
When people are hopeless, that's the best example I can give you is all these mass shootings.
What these mass shootings actually are, are public suicides.
And like, it was like the second time he came on, he like kind of ambushed me.
We were talking before the show, and then as soon as we went live, and I was like, we're here with Ryan Long, and he goes, so Tim, you told me a civil war was happening.
You told me that a civil war was gonna come, and then I left kind of freaked out, and what happened?
And then I went, on January 6th, 800 Trump supporters stormed into the Capitol to shut down the Electoral College vote, and he went, oh.
See, people are in a pot.
They are frogs slowly boiling.
And so in 2018, when I watched 300 people boxing and smashing shields and sticks with another 300 other people, I was like, this is, according to history, prelude to civil war.
And it did continue, and it got substantially worse.
Now we're at the point where not only did we have January 6th, which was really bad, I don't know if I would call it an insurrection because even the Fed said there was no real aim, it was just angry people, but that's all it really is sometimes.
But we also had Texas suing, questioning whether the election was illegitimate, The Supreme Court, whose duty bound, under original jurisdiction, to hear lawsuits between states, refused because the Supreme Court is comprised of cowards.
Only Thomas and Alito said, we have to hear this.
And now because they refuse to even entertain the concerns of Texas, The Texas GOP has just announced in their official platform Biden was illegitimately elected, citing specifically unconstitutional voter changes, which is what their lawsuit was about.
And you know what?
When I tweeted that, the left said, the voter fraud narrative is a lie, Tim.
You're a grifter.
I didn't tweet about voter fraud.
They don't give a shit.
The Young Turks.
I said in January, how will you convict someone of trespassing in the Capitol if the police let them in the building?
So the Young Turks made a video telling me that I was the stupidest person making the dumbest argument possible because of course they were trespassing, they walked over broken glass.
Matthew Martin was then acquitted and I was correct.
These people, for me it's not about left or right.
It's about what is true and what is happening.
But you have people like the Young Turks of massive prominence and influence, their audience size in terms of viewership rivals ours, who lie every day for clicks.
That is why I view it as inevitable.
Because no matter how much, I'm like, here is the court document and the proof.
I cannot compete, Crowder cannot compete, Joe Rogan cannot compete with a billion views per month intentionally lying to people to make them hate other people.
So if Joe Rogan comes out and says, this is true to his 11 million viewers per episode, and then across CNN, CBS, MSNBC, ABC, all of these networks, they're getting a collective billion plus views per month.
We are but a drop of water in the ocean compared to the lies that are coming out.
Colbert lied.
He said my staff was detained and then processed and released.
No, they were arrested and charged and could be facing further charges, but he lies.
