jack posobiec
What's up, guys?
The postocast has begun.
So, Jack Pesobic here, host of Human Events Daily, filling in for the great Tim Poole, who hit me up this morning and said, Look, I need some help.
Can you come on in?
I said, I'm more than happy to do so.
So, Tim is currently on the mend, and we'll see.
Perhaps he might even be here tomorrow.
So, we'll see.
But in the meantime, you got me.
And no, no beanie tonight.
I said, guys, I'm not doing it.
The hair, it was looking a little too nice today, so I couldn't do it.
But what else is looking nice?
I love some of the stories that we have tonight.
I'll run through them just a little bit.
Trump mobilizing the National Guard across 19 states, law enforcement, ICE, we're going to dig into this.
Specialized National Guard unit, CNN, of course, freaking out.
We love it.
Then, of course, we know we're going to get into this one, and you know we were going to get into this.
Prosecuting the burning of the American flag.
Is this a long-standing American bedrock tradition?
Is this our freedom?
We'll see.
Obama appointed the judge saying that the Trump admin was forbidden from deporting Kilmar Obrego Garcia.
This is just breaking news.
So, I want to actually hadn't even read that before we started here.
So, they're saying you can't get rid of him.
We'll see about that.
And then, of course, we get into it.
A couple other stories, the back of the end.
But before we get into our guests, I want to tell you that this episode is sponsored by Boonies Skateboard, proudly American, built right here for riders who live free and don't compromise.
Boonies isn't just about skateboards, it's about spirit.
The same grit and independence that built this country, whether you're out in the streets, the suburbs, the heartland, these boards are made to last, made to ride, and made in America.
Support a company that stands for freedom, durability, and the American way.
Boonie Skateboards, Ride American, Ride Free.
I love the uncancelable.
Got the Maltese cross there.
What other decks we got?
What other decks we got, guys?
Anything new?
Let's back it up.
The declaration of independence.
You get it.
It's a skate deck.
You get it.
And then you also have your choice, by the way, be gay.
Don't be gay.
It's a choice.
You know, it's right there.
That's the Pride Collection.
You know, and it's interesting.
So the question I wonder is: is this a message to others or is this about yourself?
I don't even know.
It's your choice, I suppose.
And then you've got the Richie Jackson, so many others.
unidentified
Also, the Cast Brew Coffee Cub Club.
jack posobiec
Make sure you're checking that out.
You got the 1776 signature blend from Josie Special.
This is incredible.
You got to power yourself, power your day.
And if you're like me and you're suddenly finding yourself hosting a three-hour show that you weren't even planning to on your kids' first day of school for that year, you're going to need some cast brew coffee.
So, Serge, light up the coffee.
You got to get some.
But when introduce our guests and very excited to be sitting down, Andrew Wilson.
andrew wilson
Hey, how's it going?
Thanks for having me.
I really appreciate it.
And also to disagree with your ad, no, no, be gay.
Don't be gay.
jack posobiec
Don't do it.
No, but there's a choice, though.
You could have one or the other.
andrew wilson
Yeah, I know, I know, but you should just make the right choice.
jack posobiec
That's all.
andrew wilson
Yes.
Yeah, you can find me on YouTube at The Crucible.
We also stream to Rumble there.
And we're in the Rumble Top 10 for the extravaganza.
You can find us there every day at 5 p.m.
I co-host with Jake Rattlesnake.
He's been on the show as well.
And you can find me on TwitterX at PaleoChristCon.
jack posobiec
Yep, senior stuff on X, Senior Stuff Go Viral.
People have actually asked me, they said, when are you going to do something with Andrew Wilson?
I said, well, we're doing it today.
unidentified
Doing it today.
jack posobiec
There we go.
unidentified
All right.
jack posobiec
Let's go around the room.
shane cashman
What's up?
I am Shane Cashman.
I host Inverta World Live Monday through Thursdays.
I go live tonight at 10 o'clock, right after this show.
I'll be running out of here at 9:40 to go host my show down the road.
We will be talking about underwater UFOs.
And fans of the show will know we have a caller calling in tonight who's a sergeant who knows about Mars.
jack posobiec
Yes!
shane cashman
Who knows about Antarctica, and he's got a lot to say about this hostile probe that's heading towards Earth.
So we'll see you guys there.
jack posobiec
Oh, Phil.
I want to see that.
shane cashman
Tate, what's up, dude?
tate brown
What's up?
Tate Brown here, holding it down.
It's the new catch.
I'm working that in there.
We're getting there.
The filling in the morning shows.
You got to see this morning.
We had an interview with Nick Sorter.
It was excellent.
We discussed the crackdown.
We didn't know what it's a unit, squad, move.
There's a lot of different words we could use, but we're going to use the crackdown nationwide.
It's going to be a beautiful thing.
So we're going to get into that.
jack posobiec
That's great.
Yeah, we'll talk about that.
phil labonte
Hello, everybody.
My name is Phil Labonte.
I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All the Remains.
I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.
Let's jump right into it.
unidentified
All right.
jack posobiec
Jump right in.
Jump writing in.
Yeah, of course.
So I love the CNN headline on this, by the way.
So Trump signs executive order establishing specialized.
You can hear the breathlessness that they're writing.
Anxiety is National Guard units.
Yeah, how many SSRIs went into this?
andrew wilson
You know, they wanted to put stormtroopers there.
jack posobiec
You know, they're so close to writing storm.
Look at the look at the graphic, right?
unidentified
Just this.
jack posobiec
Oh, my gosh.
Look at them.
Just marching along.
phil labonte
Totally out of skill.
jack posobiec
Soldiers, you know, so specialized units, specifically trained and equipped to deal with public order issues.
So they're talking about specific units, specialized units of what, okay.
I understand what's in the first paragraph.
I already understand what they're talking about.
So specialized units, they're talking about crowd control.
They're talking about crowd control units, all right?
It's so obvious that they could use, and we say this every day, but they could obviously have just said it's crowd control units.
That's what we're looking at.
We're looking at people who are designed.
I believe, and any army guys in the chat, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's a version of the military police.
I think it's an MP designator that goes in under that.
And then it's riot control, basically.
And who has that?
Because they have the ones who are training for like law enforcement.
They have a little bit more training in terms of how to deal with those situations.
And that's what they're sending in.
So specialized units.
It sounds so much scarier when you say it that way.
But also, and this is what they're all losing their mind about, they're losing their mind that Trump is saying 19 more cities, potentially Chicago.
Andrew, what do you think?
andrew wilson
Well, I saw Newscum, and he was going to town about this and saying that it's all a ploy by Trump in order to steal the midterm elections.
And that's why they're mobilizing troops all over the place.
Now, this, of course, was carryover from his massive embarrassment when his little speech got raided by ICE, which was hilarious, right?
It was hilarious.
But this is what they're all upset about.
The truth is, is that there used to be an ongoing meme that we would lose more people in Chicago in a day than we did in the Afghanistan war.
jack posobiec
During the war on terror, I remember.
andrew wilson
And it's true.
That's been going on.
Now, people forget, go back to when Trump gave his very first victory speech.
You remember all the commentators were saying it's about strength because he said, American carnage, the days of American carnage are over.
So this shouldn't be a surprise to people.
Trump's been talking about doing this for a long time.
He talked about doing it when he was running the first time.
He talked about possibly mobilizing the military to go into these places where we're losing more people than we were in legitimate wars.
So I think it's a good idea.
I would like to see more troops.
phil labonte
I'm curious, how many of the 19 cities in question, how many of them have Democrat mayors?
Probably all of them.
jack posobiec
So they asked him this question in the Oval Office earlier today, and they said, you know, are you going to be sending troops to red cities?
And he just gives the reporter a look, like, what red cities?
Does anyone know any red cities?
Can we name these red cities?
Have you heard of these red cities?
There are no red cities.
And even in some of the large cities where you may nominally have a Republican mayor or, you know, New York's gotten independent right now, like this city is still blue.
It's still very, very blue.
The point being is, is they've allowed that, you know, blueness or whatever, the liberalism and soft on crime approach because you have to consider the rights and the interests of the criminal actually coming before the rights of tourists, citizens, children, family.
Think about New York, but any of those people who actually have much more of a right to those streets than the criminal does.
andrew wilson
Well, look at like San Francisco.
Look at many of these places where you have junkies in the street in a zombie-like state.
You guys remember seeing all those videos?
Of course.
They're going through, they're scanning them.
These guys are just hanging there like it's like it's kind of the living.
jack posobiec
I'm from the Philly area and we've got a place like that called Kensington.
And they actually refer to it now as Kensington Beach.
And you can go on Instagram and find like Kensington Beach accounts or whatever and you can get like t-shirts that say Kensington Beach because there are so many people laying out that it looks like they're at the beach because it looks like they're suntaning or something.
andrew wilson
Well, let me ask you something.
Don't you consider it, I know it's not constitutional treason, but in your mind, isn't it somewhat treasonous that the mayors of these cities and governors of these states essentially are soft on crime in order to placate a minority, a minority group whose votes they want.
It's part of them bribing the electorate, right?
And so the idea that, hey, I'm going to send the military in because you won't do your job, which we saw during the California riots.
I watched them every single night live, covered them on multiple cameras.
We were watching them get into fights with the police, burning the squad cars, setting fires, we would call it dumpster mo, the next dumpster mo, and they would put the dumpsters up and start fighting, right?
They told the police, obviously, to stand down.
I mean, we were watching it.
They told them, stand down, don't do anything, right?
Let them do what they're doing until Trump sent in the Marines.
And that put a stop to it.
And their little day of rage didn't really go off as well as they had hoped because there was some military there taking care of it.
And it's like, at some point, we're going to have to look at this and say, if these guys won't enforce the laws and we're losing, you know, four, six, 10, 12, 16 people a day, eventually someone's going to have to put an end to the carnage.
phil labonte
How much do you think that it's about the voters in the specific metropolitan areas or whatever?
And how versus how much do you think it's about actually placating people in a PR move?
andrew wilson
Because I feel like one's not excluding the other.
The thing is, is Democrats work in unison for national campaign PR.
You're right about that.
There's no doubt about that.
But you still also have your localized elections.
And the truth is, is that they are pandering to minority groups as much as possible for lighter sentences, things like this.
So they seem to want to move towards rehabilitation, even though there's no rehabilitation going on.
jack posobiec
In Philadelphia, no matter how bad the murder rate has gotten, Larry Krasner, the Soros DA, just keeps getting reelected over and over and over.
So I think this speaks to what you're saying, that it's in a very odd way of putting it, they keep voting for murder.
phil labonte
Wouldn't that be a lot of that have to do with outside money and outside influence, though?
andrew wilson
Yeah, NGOs, of course.
NGOs are involved.
jack posobiec
I mean, he's a Soros DA.
andrew wilson
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, NGOs are always involved in this.
You know what I mean?
But the question here, what we're moving down to is this.
If these people will not stop this, if these Democrats won't stop it, how does it get stopped?
phil labonte
Part of the reason why I ask that, and I push back on the idea, is just because you see so many videos coming out of DC where people that are actual residents that are like, this is great.
I can drive around in my car with the window open in the summer, and I don't feel like I'm going to get carjacked.
I don't feel like blah, blah, blah.
There are a lot of people that are posting these things on the internet saying, look, it's much safer.
And I know that the people that are most upset about crime in an area are the people that live there.
So I feel like there's, I mean, not that I've done any kind of, you know, any kind of surveys or deep dive on this.
andrew wilson
This doesn't feel like pushback.
jack posobiec
This feels like what you're highlighting, though, what you're highlighting is that there is a disconnect between the actual experience and the interests of the citizens and the preference reflected.
phil labonte
Yeah, if they're getting good results from this policy, why don't they vote for this policy when they have the chance?
tate brown
Well, also the people that are getting disenfranchised the most when these cities fall apart is the people in the suburbs because those are the descendants of people that were pushed out of those cities a few decades back.
jack posobiec
I wanted to ask you, incredible point, but I also want to ask you about your conversation with Nick Sortor.
So you were talking about D.C.
So obviously D.C., now the president could do more there.
It's a federal district.
It's not a state.
It is a federal city.
So he can do more.
But that being said, it'll give us, I think, some clue as to the sort of things that we might be seeing in Chicago and these other 19 cities.
tate brown
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, the point he made was obviously there's not a clear pathway, like for example, to Chicago.
He said something that could be a possibility to make this work would be if the Cook County Sheriff deputies federal agents.
But once again, that all depends on who the sheriff is of the county.
jack posobiec
Well, it still also comes down to, so the way I understand most of it is that it still comes down to if you're in further, so federal agents can always obviously be involved in enforcement of federal law.
So if you can find a nexus, like say, I don't know, gun trafficking or something or ATF where they're, you know, they're breaking gun law.
andrew wilson
Interstate commerce.
jack posobiec
Interstate commerce.
Now, now all of a sudden.
andrew wilson
Well, just interstate.
Like the second you go interstate, it becomes federal, right?
So the second the gun leaves the border, now it's a federal crime.
Now they can get, yeah, now they can get, they can get involved.
And so, yeah, that's, that's one reasonable pathway.
Um, the truth is, though, it's like what I saw during those riots was just the show of force calmed things way down.
Not at first.
At first, you know, people wanted to make an example of it.
And so they wanted to go fight with the Marines, but that didn't last very long.
And it did seem like it calmed that entire order down very, very quickly.
We were very disappointed, you know, that the big heyday, we all had our popcorn, you know, we all had our beer.
We were live.
I was there with the audience and we're like, this is it, boys.
We're finally going to watch him get wrecked in the streets.
This is going to be, and they just stood down.
It was, and it's because the Marines were there.
tate brown
It was beyond that.
It was like a demoralization effect because they realized, oh, there's three more years of this.
We're not going to stop.
andrew wilson
Yeah, we're not going to stop this.
tate brown
Huge change from the summer of love where they felt like, okay, we have our foot on the gas and there's a year.
andrew wilson
But the counter PR, like to your point, the counter PR is the progressives are going to say, these are Nazi stormtroopers who are coming in from a fascist president and the whole idea is to seize power.
They can't tell you the pathway to that though, right?
Because there is no pathway.
There's no pathway to how President Trump mobilizes the guard for crime-ridden areas and then seizes control of the country.
They can never tell you that part of it because they're just making it up.
The truth is, is that this country's been riddled.
Some of these places have been riddled so badly, like you said, you can't have your window open.
There's places my wife won't go.
She's not going to go any of those places in some of these major cities.
And that's in Michigan.
Chicago is not that far away.
And yeah, man, they're taking people out there left and right.
phil labonte
Tate makes a point frequently that we're kind of a vibes-based country.
Like the United States really, really kind of votes and acts based on how they feel, far less than actual, you know, evidence or whatever.
And I think that I think he's right.
And I think that it works both for the right and for the left.
Like the left has the vibe that Donald Trump is this authoritarian.
And look, anything that they can come up with that confirms their feelings or how they, you know, their preconceived notions, they're going to say, look, this is it.
This is all the, I mean, how many times have you seen someone from on the left write a, excuse me, a think piece about how bad Donald Trump is and how he's a Nazi and stuff?
And it doesn't matter what the policy is.
Everything confirms their preconceived notion.
andrew wilson
Yeah, I agree with that.
So you're talking about people giving into intuition over reason and logic.
Yeah, I understand, but you still have to temper the one of the best ways to temper that PR is with.
phil labonte
They don't have to do shit.
andrew wilson
Well, they don't have to.
But I mean, the appeal to the electorate is we still do have to use some sort of reason here.
And I always ask progressives the same thing.
Show me the path.
Show me the path for how Donald Trump mobilizes the military to seize control of the country.
First of all, there's no way generals would ever go for that in a million years or commanding officers or anybody else.
They're simply going in to try to do something about these crime-ridden areas, which is a thing Trump talked about in his first term on his very first speech when he said American carnage is over.
He's been wanting to do this for a long time.
So I don't even know what they're freaking out about.
jack posobiec
I would even go a step further.
I've been kind of talking about this thing behind the scenes.
I wrote this piece not too long ago talking about how Trump is a city conservative and that city conservatives are just functionally and fundamentally different from rural conservatives.
And people are saying like, oh, are you saying they're better?
unidentified
No, no, no, no.
jack posobiec
I'm not saying anyone's better.
andrew wilson
Or formed differently.
jack posobiec
It's just that, yeah, they're formed differently.
That it's that Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, you know, the MAGA movement was born on a golden escalator on Fifth Avenue, New York City, which is just fundamentally different than sort of the George W. Bush conservatism, which evokes this kind of, you know, like a small town aesthetic and a pickup truck and a six-pack.
And yeah, those are all cool things, but they're just fundamentally different.
And whereas the city conservative, it really is more law and order focused.
And I actually remember Trump mentioned once.
Yeah, he mentions once that it was the Freddie Gray riots back in 2015 and Melania when they were burning Baltimore down.
And Melania was watching that with him and she said, and he'd been kind of kicking around, okay, 2016, do I want to run?
He hadn't in 12.
And they were watching that on TV and her turning to him and just saying, look at this, you have to run.
And it was so it was those images of the breakdown of law and order.
Because in order for a city to be a city, right, in order for a city to be formed, it must be, you know, it has to be red coded, right, at the very beginning, or else, you know, you know, I'm sorry, like the libs, you're not going to build a city.
Like it just, you never will.
It's not going to happen.
And you need to have those laws to establish that order from the chaos to begin with, or else you're just going to get chaos, which is what we have now.
And so the city conservative is basically formed and activated by having all of that stolen from them.
And they're fighting to get it back rather than conserving.
unidentified
Yeah.
andrew wilson
But isn't what's happened, what usually happens here is when they send troops or anything like this, or even feds to come in and try to put an end to carnage going on in a major city, you have small splinter cell groups like Antifa, things like this, who are NGO funded, even though we can't seem to find the NGOs.
They're NGO funded.
Don't they go in and purposely agitate in order to make it seem like the people are really against this?
The people hate this.
This is really fascist and oppressive.
And this they're always trying to optically make it seem that way, even if it's really not that way.
jack posobiec
I think it's a great point.
I think you're going to get, I think you're definitely going to see an activation of Antifa groups in, especially in places like Portland, Seattle, probably Chicago as well.
People are true that when Kyle Rittenhouse happened, and even though that was Kenosha, they were driven up from Chicago.
So that was all groups of people from Chicago that had gone to Kenosha.
So there are pretty sizable and well-formed organizations still there.
And unfortunately, with the exception of Georgia, which I've actually said, Governor Kemp in Georgia has done a great job of rolling these guys up.
And so Georgia's the one example.
You're mentioning the NGOs.
They actually went after the NGOs.
They went after the bundlers when they were going after that Cop City training center they were talking about.
And they rolled up all of these people that were raising money for Antifa.
And yes, what a surprise.
They were actually finding NGOs, legal, quasi-legal groups that were funding all of it.
andrew wilson
Of course.
jack posobiec
And so that hasn't been done nationwide.
andrew wilson
And the purpose is for optics, right?
And there could be something here, and I'm glad you bring this up to kind of draw that poison out, right?
Another way for us to maybe start following the money back to other NGOs who are funding these types of groups.
And yes, the idea here, they are going to try to make it an optical disaster by agitating whoever, you know, whoever comes in to enforce law and order and make it seem like these are fascists.
They're here to take your rights and beat you in the streets and things like this when actually they're agitating the law enforcement, right?
shane cashman
So I agree, Andrew, with your take on these mayors and governors being treasonous.
And that's a good reason to go into these cities and clean them up.
I'm also for tactical strikes against riots, but I am uneasy cheering on military presence in these cities if it's a sustained presence.
And because I'm not confident that the right's going to hold power after Trump.
And I see these people weaponizing that against us once again, whether it's on J Sixers or if there's a quote unquote plague happening and they want to rip you out of your homes.
I was in New York in 2020 and they were trying to pass a bill where they could just rip me out of my house, you know?
So that's like, that's my only problem with something like this is what they can do with this precedence in the future.
andrew wilson
Well, let me ask you a question then.
I understand your concern.
jack posobiec
I mean, to your point, though, it's not just a precedent that Trump is setting because they were doing this during COVID, right?
So you already had Democrat Governor Tim Waltz, you know, was sending around stuff to enforce these lockdowns.
And you can all see videos about this.
shane cashman
On a state level.
jack posobiec
On a state level, right?
shane cashman
But Biden didn't send out the military to this degree.
jack posobiec
He did in D.C.
shane cashman
And D.C., which is I'm fine with D.C.
I have no problem with DC because it's D.C.
andrew wilson
Well, just to ask you a quick question, Steelman, you're very good.
jack posobiec
I'm just saying, I think the president is kind of already.
andrew wilson
You're saying, hey, look, if the military is deployed, now we have a precedent possibly against posse comitatus, something like this.
And so that could carry over to Democrat administrations, which are then used to oppress you.
That's the basic position.
My question to you would just be, what could you even think of as an alternative that the president could do from a law enforcement perspective to enforce any of the laws in these places where dozens of people in some cases are murdered daily?
shane cashman
Yeah, I know.
And I do want these safer cities, but I see it having to happen on a local level and making the people unfortunately have to vote for a better mayor.
Like what it is.
andrew wilson
It's not happening in the presidential.
shane cashman
But we had it in Giuliania to enforce the law.
Right, but we had it with Giuliani in New York City.
He did clean up the city after a really bad time.
unidentified
Yes.
shane cashman
And I was very appreciative of that, despite him sending most of those homes.
andrew wilson
That's what they did to him.
shane cashman
I know.
andrew wilson
They destroyed him and they stopped stopping Frisk and all of that stuff came back.
And on top of that, they destroyed him politically after that.
shane cashman
I just am uncomfortable giving the president that much power in the local community.
andrew wilson
But see what I mean?
shane cashman
Unless it's a tactical shock.
andrew wilson
I understand the concern, but it doesn't actually answer to the question.
What's the alternative?
What?
shane cashman
The local people, the people voting for the future.
andrew wilson
But how does the president affect that?
shane cashman
The president should.
I'm saying the president should be out.
But this he's in.
andrew wilson
So this is the one thing he can do, which is within his power to do.
And if these treasonous local officials refuse to enforce the laws because they get stand down orders from Democrats who are in the pockets of NGOs and everything else we just talked about, what else can he actually do at his disposal to stop that?
shane cashman
Well, yeah, if we can all agree that it is treason, and I think these governors are collapsing these places on purpose because they want to be sure.
If we can all get along on that, then it is a war.
I think we've been a war without even defining it.
andrew wilson
We're not going to get along on that, right?
jack posobiec
But they have already begun in some cases, you know, when you're talking about the lack of enforcement or refusing to enforce immigration laws, we've already seen indictments against mayors.
Yeah.
And potentially you could see more of that.
And I think when it comes down to this immigration law and not just the refusal to follow, but even aiding and abetting, if you're someone who's done that, it's been some smaller cases now, but I think that you could roll that out depending on what's done, right?
If someone is to really cross that line.
andrew wilson
But these guys are within their authority to do this.
They're within their authority to not enforce laws or give more minimum.
jack posobiec
That's the thing if they cross the line.
andrew wilson
Yeah, but where's the line?
Like how many dozens more need to be dead daily before we move to this line?
This is what I'm saying is like from the president down, the president of the United States, he has access to the soldiers of the United States.
He's a commander in chief, okay?
And he can deploy them foreign and domestic for whatever threat comes up for the most part, even without an act of Congress.
What else could he personally actually do?
He can't actually do it.
jack posobiec
The framing of this is kind of ridiculous because they say, oh, Trump is doing this.
Trump is sending this.
Trump is sending this.
It's all Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump focused.
And even us doing that.
What is he dealing with?
He's dealing with the crime epidemic that's going on in our country right now.
And ICE is dealing with the migrant crisis that is going on in our cities right now, both of which are interrelated from how that works.
And so it's amazing, right?
So our cities are overflowing.
This is causing crime.
There's also these transnational narco-terror groups that are involved.
In fact, I believe Stephen Miller mentioned earlier this morning in one of the briefings that they've, as they've taken more of a look at Washington, D.C., they're even finding a direct.
This is going to sound crazy, guys.
Did you know that the street gangs in our cities are getting their drugs from drug cartels?
No way.
Just go with me.
What about slow down?
phil labonte
Yeah, what about they don't go to the corner store like everyone else?
I know.
andrew wilson
Jimmy Door did a great piece.
Everyone should go watch it, whether you like Jimmy Door or not.
He did a great piece on what's going on in D.C. and how they change the category of what crime is to make it look like crime has been going down violent crime when it actually hasn't.
And he had, it's great, it's a great video.
You can find it on his channel.
I was just reviewing it, I think, two days ago.
But what they do is you got to like with crime, it's all definitional, right?
So you just change the definition and then you could add percentages to this other definition, which should really go in this other violent category.
And through this, they were able to kind of show to the public, well, crime is actually decreasing violent crime when it's not actually decreasing.
jack posobiec
Literally the plot of the wire.
andrew wilson
Yeah.
And the entire thing is just nonsense.
And so the question becomes, again, and this is the one I always come back to, and that I just, I have never gotten a good answer on because I don't think there is one, right?
It's like, no offense to you.
There's just not a good answer for this.
What do you do if you have treasonous Democrats in charge of these cities and in charge of even these states who refuse to enforce the laws or add new minimums for the purposes of placating a minority constituency for the purpose of national PR other than sending the troops to enforce the law?
Our citizens are still suffering there.
Our citizens are still getting killed.
jack posobiec
And in fact, he is the president of all American citizens.
unidentified
Yeah.
andrew wilson
So he has an obligation to do this, right?
Like if he doesn't have the obligation, who does?
jack posobiec
No, and it's very clear to your point, Shane, about what Giuliani did in New York, the broken windows, that he's obviously very closely related with Giuliani at the time, that they were working together.
He was sort of, you know, obviously on the economic side, Giuliani on the law enforcement side, but they turned New York from the taxi driver in New York and Robert De Niro to this like amusement park and specifically Times Square.
And everybody wants to go, but not that long ago, within living memory for, I would say, most people, it was not like that.
And it was like that.
It became that way before.
andrew wilson
When Andrew Trump Cooper is getting kissed on the penis by Kathy Griffin in Times Square.
Yeah, right.
And you're right.
I mean, you're right about that.
jack posobiec
So he's clearly just trying to find a way to do that in every city.
It's very clear that that played a huge role in his, you know, in his upbringing, in his life, and he wants to be able to do that.
I think that's obvious.
andrew wilson
Well, and I think that you bring up a legitimate concern.
It is a legitimate concern.
I can foresee how this could possibly come back to bite Republicans in the ass if it's the case that we set the precedent and then they're like, ha ha ha ha ha.
Now it's being used.
jack posobiec
But I never want to say, let's not do something because, oh, what if the left blowback?
phil labonte
Well, the thing is, the left is still the left has already proven that they will do things that are outside of the realm of normal.
They do not care about precedent.
They do not care about what they don't even care about what's legal.
They were arresting President Trump's lawyers.
So if they don't care, and then Your reason to not exercise power when you have it is, oh, well, the Dems will, they're going to do it anyways.
andrew wilson
Well, come on.
Their rhetoric led to Trump almost getting assassinated.
phil labonte
Yeah.
andrew wilson
I mean, they really tried to take him out.
jack posobiec
Well, I'm thinking, guys, I'm thinking that since we are talking about what the Dems might be doing and we're talking about riots and talking about inciting violence in cities, this could possibly lend us to segue into our next topic, which is on flag burning.
unidentified
Nice.
jack posobiec
Hard, hard, hard time.
Hard segue there.
andrew wilson
That was well done.
phil labonte
Thank you.
jack posobiec
Thank you.
Well, so here's what's interesting about this because, so they signed this new executive order this morning, president signs it, prosecuting the burning of the American flag.
And people say, whoa, whoa, I was told the Supreme Court said that was totally cool.
That's a bedrock, lifelong American value all the way back to the founding fathers of 1989 when this agreement came out for the Supreme Court when the ruling came down.
But what's interesting is about because I've actually gone through and read the executive order, which I don't think most people have.
And it specifically talks about, and this is interesting, foreign groups of foreign nationals burning the American flag as a calculated act to intimidate and threaten violence against Americans because of their nationality and place of birth.
andrew wilson
Talking about the California riots.
jack posobiec
Right.
The California riots and American as a nationality and America as a place of birth.
So we are the only country in the world where we allow foreign nationals to come in and burn our flag and say they're perfectly allowed to do this while intimidating and threatening us.
andrew wilson
They made hybrid flags.
Remember?
jack posobiec
Right.
andrew wilson
In California, they made it a hybrid flag, mixing the Mexican flag and the American flag.
unidentified
Right.
Yeah.
Okay.
andrew wilson
So they've done everything possible to desecrate and demoralize the American public through flag burning, through the destruction of the symbols that we care about.
Absolutely more.
I don't want to hear anything about freedom of speech.
These guys will tear down monuments.
They tear down the Confederate flag in the South.
They don't give a shit about freedom of speech.
unidentified
Well, they don't care.
tate brown
Yeah, they prosecute you if you do a burnout on the Rhine Crosswell.
phil labonte
Yeah, that's a totally different subject.
jack posobiec
Wait, wait, before we get to all this, before we do this, which I definitely want to get to, I want to point out that people are saying, how is he getting around the Supreme Court decision, right?
Isn't this just obviously, obviously incorrect?
You say, ah, ah.
But what they've done is they're saying, notwithstanding the Supreme Court's rulings on First Amendment protections, the court has never held that American flag desecration conducted in a manner that is likely to incite imminent lawless action or that is an action amounting to, quote, fighting words is constitutionally protected.
So it seems like what, and it's just my, you know, kind of lay reading on it.
I don't think any of us are lawyers.
That, you know, let's say you're burning, you buy a flag, Amazon, whatever, you bring it to your house, you just had to burn your flag in an act of protest.
This wouldn't cover that.
But what it would cover is all of the other instances that we're talking about.
andrew wilson
Yeah, like them burning it in the middle of the street, starting fires in California with the flags and things like this, which they were doing.
They would just argue, which is also an illegal.
They would just argue, well, that would already fall under arson laws.
Why do you need this law?
Well, the thing is, it's like, you are correct.
What they're saying here is, if it's the case that we can see that you're doing this in a manner which looks like incitement, now we can get you for incitement.
It's not just burning the flag anymore, right?
We're going to go out.
Now, this is a workaround.
I agree that that's kind of what they're doing by holding up the Supreme Court decision here and saying we're going to work around.
jack posobiec
They actually cited.
andrew wilson
I don't think it goes far enough.
I would like to see it repealed.
If you burn the American flag in America, you need to be dealt with.
It's a traitorous act.
It's a treasonous act as far as I'm concerned.
It's a seditious act at the very least.
And I have no idea why we want to import millions of people who then go to California, make a hybrid flag, start fires, and burn our flag.
It's crazy.
jack posobiec
You mentioned, real quick, you mentioned it was demoralizing.
andrew wilson
Yes.
jack posobiec
Unpack that.
andrew wilson
Yeah.
Well, okay, so this is the main thing.
So, all of the flag burning with the media in front of it, this type of thing, the entirety of it is to show America's in ashes, right?
They're going to get that snapshot and they're going to put the perfect filter on it.
They're going to put the perfect background there with the filter that shows the American flag burning.
And the whole point of it is to say America's on fire.
We're at the precipice.
We're at the brink.
And the whole thing is to kind of keep the country in this idea of turmoil, this consistent idea of turmoil, never-ending turmoil, never-ending color revolution.
It's designed specifically to demoralize.
Why do you think they hand them out?
They hand them out with lighters.
We were watching the California riots.
People would heap garbage in the middle of the road, and a masked guy would come by and out of his pocket, he'd pull out lighter fluid, spray the lighter fluid all over it, light it, and then walk off.
Where the hell are these guys getting all of this?
They came totally prepared to start arsonist fires, right?
That's what they were prepared to do.
All of it's designed to be demoralizing to the American public, and it's always been designed to be demoralizing to the people.
jack posobiec
Look, if you value something, you would protect it, you would enshrine that in law.
I was tweeting about this earlier today.
I saw some of your stuff about this.
I couldn't agree more.
I think that I don't, I do think that this will be a test of the Supreme Court.
I also think that it's kind of ridiculous to say that it is a 20th century notion, a very modern notion to think that the First Amendment covers this kind of activity.
This is not this political expression, it was very well known to the founding fathers in the founding generation.
They would tar and feather people, right?
They knew the difference between speech and expression.
As it turns out, our ancestors were not stupid in our forefathers in this case.
andrew wilson
I mean, honestly, they would have shot these people.
jack posobiec
You know, not kidding.
They would have.
Most of this, the understanding was most of this was done, was left to the states.
This was a 10th Amendment protection.
And it turns out that, by the way, pretty much, I think 48 of the states at one point all had flag desecration laws.
And this was totally accepted throughout pretty much all of American history, right up until 1989.
tate brown
Oh, they had blasphemy laws on the books.
andrew wilson
They had blasphemy laws or something.
tate brown
All into the 19th century, they had it.
andrew wilson
You make a great point here with symbolism, the idea of the American symbol.
So I think of it this way: symbolism is everything.
It's like when you have these, it's like when you have two kids, and the one, they're putting their finger really close to the other kid, and they're like, I'm not touching you.
I'm not touching you.
I'm not touching you.
And they do it for hours.
And finally, the other kid just belts him.
Can you believe he did that?
jack posobiec
I never touched it.
andrew wilson
Can you believe he did?
I never actually did anything wrong.
Can you believe he?
And of course, what happens is this is the same thing.
The idea here is we're not doing anything wrong.
Look, we're not doing anything wrong.
Shove it in your face as much as possible.
They burn down everything you love, burn down your symbols, deface them, and try to demoralize you.
And you go, well, we're going to pass a law that you can't do that anymore.
I can't believe that you're a totalitarian fascist.
jack posobiec
I want to see, Serge, check out the chat.
Is there anyone who disagrees?
serge du preez
I just, I was in the chat saying, like, Cephale were like, oh, well, it's not actually a crime.
It's actually, guys, it's not actually a crime to burn the flag.
Actually, do you know that it's not actually a crime to burn the flag?
Which is just talking about this.
andrew wilson
I'm touching you.
serge du preez
This whole midwittery thing we were talking about before the show, like where it's like, yeah, okay.
We know it's not a crime.
Like, we shouldn't be encouraging or allowing everyone to do it en masse at every protest across the country.
I just see them in the chat be like, yes, that's not the same thing.
shane cashman
I definitely disagree.
I don't want the flag to be burned, but it's like my last argument.
I just think you have that right to burn it in the street if you want.
That's what Johnson was doing.
phil labonte
Yeah, I've got a little more nuance to take than Shane.
I think that as a, like, if you've got someone with a green card or something like that, or someone that's not a citizen, then that should be grounds to revoke their green card, send them back.
But personally, I think any reason that you can get to revoke green cards and send people back is fine with me.
I like the idea of people being able to do it so you know who the bad guys are.
Same reason that I like free speech, so people will tell you the bad things, tell you the things that, you know, will say the things that you're talking about.
jack posobiec
Can you make that argument for all crime, though?
Pardon me?
Couldn't you make that argument for like killing that child?
phil labonte
Because I mean, because the reason being is because this is something that will happen at protests, something that'll happen in certain contexts.
I mean, regardless of what's confused about who the bad guys are.
andrew wilson
Even if nobody's confused about who the bad guys are.
shane cashman
It's not always the same people.
jack posobiec
I think they would still do it, regardless of what the law is.
phil labonte
To expand it to all crime is not, to expand it to all crime really misses the point.
The point is, it's fine if people want, like, I don't have a problem with people that want to, or I don't have a problem with people burning the flag, right?
Because if it's their own property or whatever, I don't have a problem with it.
There is a free speech argument, in my opinion.
But also, I like the idea of being able to, you know, people that actually have bad ideas and have bad motivations.
I like those people feeling like they can speak out so you can identify.
shane cashman
But it's not always the bad people burning the flag.
It could be a Marine likes Medley Butler who's against going to war and he's out there burning the flag.
serge du preez
But the context for me is what changes.
andrew wilson
Are Marines out there burning flags?
shane cashman
There have been vets burning flags for sure.
andrew wilson
Yeah, the thing is, and it doesn't mean they're Marxists.
shane cashman
It doesn't mean they're Marxists.
andrew wilson
I think it's a rarity.
But the thing is, is if you, if you have.
jack posobiec
Well, I'll steal man your argument a little bit.
I think in the Vietnam War era is really when this really came out.
andrew wilson
Yeah, because a bunch of hippies, because a bunch of hippies who, again, were backed by massive communist NGOs.
And anybody who looks at the 60s era can see the infiltration of feminism via NGOs, via Rockefeller Foundation.
shane cashman
But that has nothing to do with not wanting to go to war.
andrew wilson
Well, I agree with that.
Hang on.
It kind of did.
It was all tied in together.
Right.
shane cashman
But it doesn't mean you're supporting feminism by not wanting to go to war.
andrew wilson
No, I agree with that.
I'm just saying that all of this was tied in as a psyop, essentially.
And all I would point out is this: you don't take the most powerful symbol that you can get behind that men have run behind.
One of the most kind of like, if you look at that, the Iwo Jima, that statue Io Jima, right?
The guy has the flag up, and there's our most sacred symptoms.
jack posobiec
There's six other people.
shane cashman
I would say it should be the cross.
andrew wilson
Enshrined as this thing.
The reason it's on the military uniform going the opposite direction is because it's supposed to emulate as a soldier's running the flags blowing behind him, right?
It's such a powerful patriotic motivator and a powerful glue that holds society together.
These people erode those things.
That's what LGBTQ is always about.
It's what all of this stuff is about is the erosion of the symbols of the things that are like, no, you can't burn them.
You go to fucking jail.
Good.
jack posobiec
And the way that you can prove this test, by the way, of what you're saying in the fact that it's not just erosion, but it's also replacement, right?
So replace, we're replacing your symbols of power, your sacred totems with ours.
And so in the same token, by the same vector, you go to any lib, any leftist, and we all know what I'm going to say, but I've got to say it anyway because I'm hosting the show.
Is okay, would you hold the same for an LGBT flag or one of those pride crosswalks or a trans flag or just pick any other of your hodgepodge of flags that they all have, you know, at any coffee shop, by the way?
phil labonte
Well, no, they would say, by the way, what about crime?
jack posobiec
And they would say you should be.
shane cashman
Of course.
jack posobiec
And they would say you should be arrested.
shane cashman
You should burn those two.
andrew wilson
But in many states, you can't name your kid Adolf Hitler.
Where are the liberals?
Where are the liberals running out and saying, we demand you be able to name your child Adolf Hitler?
Nowhere.
shane cashman
It does roll off the tongue.
jack posobiec
And also, like, nowhere.
tate brown
I was just saying, also, it's like, for me, like, I'm 24.
So every time in my entire life I've seen someone burn a flag, it's one-to-one with people that hate me.
So it's like, I'm also kind of tired of protecting the rights of people that hate me all the time.
shane cashman
I'm okay with protecting the other way.
I'm not sure if people hate me.
I'm not.
tate brown
After what they've done to me, I don't know.
jack posobiec
But I mean, I would even push back on the idea that it's a quote-unquote right.
unidentified
Depending.
shane cashman
Because how are they going to define likely to incite?
Like, that could be very vague.
jack posobiec
I mean, that's pretty much all incitement.
shane cashman
You're on top of a car.
They were trying to say during Johnson, him burning the flag in public was going to incite violence.
They obviously didn't.
It didn't.
andrew wilson
Yeah, but isn't that an exception?
Like, most of the places you see a lot of flags burning.
Is there a lot of violence in the world?
shane cashman
I don't think every time, but certainly a lot.
Certainly a lot.
Especially when they're tearing you down the Confederate statute.
jack posobiec
You would still need a test case.
But even then, the incitement statute would still have a statutory definition.
shane cashman
I think the flag, the symbol of a flag burning is not going to automatically incite violence.
I think the death cult of Marxism has rotted the brains of these people, and they'll take anything as a symbol to incite violence or as an excuse.
jack posobiec
No, no, no, I don't disagree with that.
But what I'm saying is...
andrew wilson
Why do they use that one so much?
shane cashman
It's got a specific… Well, they use a ton.
It's not the only thing.
andrew wilson
They mostly use it.
shane cashman
If they touch the American flag, they hiss.
They usually don't even touch it.
andrew wilson
Well, they'll touch it to burn it.
You know, in fact, I remember in the California riots we were watching, when we were watching them live, there was multiple times where they were handing these flags out where people were saying, guys, don't wave that.
It's bad optics for us, right?
It's going to turn people against us making this Mexico-American flag.
And they ignored them.
They did it anyway.
Now, I agree.
It was an optic eyesore, you know?
But I also think that when you have symbols in a nation that help tie that nation together, the stars and stripes, you know, we have tons of songs about this because patriotism is part of the glue.
We want, if we are legitimately attacked or assaulted, for the country to come together under a symbol.
That's the symbol.
jack posobiec
We actually refer to that as the rally around the flag.
andrew wilson
Yeah, you don't.
You don't burn it.
You don't desecrate it.
And by the way, why didn't society fall apart before this ruling?
Tell me that.
How could people seem to be more free when you couldn't burn the flag than they do right now when you can't?
jack posobiec
What I find so strange about this is people say, oh, this is a bedrock right.
This is a long-term.
No, it's not.
That is a completely ahistorical argument to make.
This is a 1989 decision by the Supreme Court.
andrew wilson
The Zoomers aren't that old.
jack posobiec
Yeah, exactly, right?
And I've said stuff about this online, and I completely agree with you.
It's the glue.
It's our national symbol.
This is why you take your hat off when the star-spangled banner is being sung.
You put your hand over your heart.
These are national civic rituals.
andrew wilson
When I was a kid, you pledged your allegiance to what?
Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.
shane cashman
I think it's okay to love this country and also hate and hate the government and not be okay with the flag because you've been enslaved.
I think you've been enslaved and destroyed by this government my whole life.
And a network of undeclared wars, and it's okay.
You have that right, despite it not being literally written in the First Amendment, to say, screw this.
jack posobiec
But if it's not written, then how could...
shane cashman
Prayer's not in there either.
And automatic rifles aren't in the new religion.
Right, but it doesn't specifically say that.
So they keep expanding different interpretations throughout the years.
andrew wilson
It doesn't say that.
I mean, it just says that Congress can't make a national law that says everyone has to follow one religion.
unidentified
Right.
jack posobiec
It actually doesn't say that you can ban prayer.
But my point is, though, is that there's nowhere in this.
This is kind of like when, I feel like it's when Roe v.
Ray, Roe v.
Wade was sort of read into the penumbra of the Fourth Amendment, where it's there.
unidentified
It's there.
jack posobiec
Just look, it's enshrined.
It's like, where?
I'm reading this document over and over.
I'm looking at the statements of the founding fathers.
I don't see anything where they say, oh, yeah, it's totally cool to burn a flag.
It's so obvious.
andrew wilson
Where is this for guns?
Where is this ever for guns?
When do I see these people running out and being like, your right to own a machine gun shall not be infringed?
Never seen it once.
I see tons of gun controls.
I see tons of you can't have them.
I see tons of gun bans.
I don't ever see them trying to enshrine that right.
Somehow, whatever is the one thing that's bad behavior to demoralize the entire public, that's enshrined as an American right, and it's always been that way.
Get the fuck out of here.
shane cashman
I don't think it's a bedrock argument, but I do think it could encroach on expression.
jack posobiec
I think that you're taking someone's rights away when you say burning the flag is illegal.
And I say, I don't think it's a right.
I don't think it's ever been a right.
tate brown
Yeah, I mean, it's because it's like when you see them in the LA riots, when you saw the Mexican flags, and you see that you're not thinking about the Mexican government, you're thinking about Mexican people.
And it's the same thing with the American flag.
It's like, okay, people are saying I'm protesting the government.
It's like, well, that's great, but the flag represents the people.
Like, you're protesting the existence of the American people.
And there's a whole debate on what that identity is.
But it's like, yeah, I mean, it's like you can protest the government in other ways, but the flag is something much deeper than a federal government.
shane cashman
You should be able to protest however you want, though, unless you're going to hurt somebody.
Unless you're lighting the flag and throwing it on something.
tate brown
But that's the whole point of this thing is they're saying that it's incitement.
And it's like if you're not.
shane cashman
They'll say likely to incite.
tate brown
If you're saying, I hate you and your heritage and I want to attack you by burning it, I mean, that's incitement.
andrew wilson
What about, like, to your point, though?
What about the fact that this is new?
You know, he cites 1989, right?
So you're saying that all the people who came before that, who honored the flag and you weren't allowed to desecrate it, they were wrong.
And they always should have been able to burn the flag if they wanted to.
unidentified
Yeah.
andrew wilson
And you don't think that's silly?
shane cashman
Why?
andrew wilson
Because the press.
shane cashman
I think there's other ways to be demoralized.
andrew wilson
All the men who bled and died for it, they clearly didn't want it desecrated.
shane cashman
Others died for you to do whatever to the flag.
andrew wilson
No, they didn't die.
shane cashman
I've talked to many of them.
And that's just saying.
andrew wilson
No, I don't think soldiers went oversea to die for people's right to butt sex or to burn flags.
shane cashman
You're adding butt sex in there.
I don't agree with that at all.
andrew wilson
It's the same principle.
Soldiers weren't joining the military to die for people's right to burn the American government.
shane cashman
That's not what I'm saying.
I'm saying some of them would think that they died for expression.
andrew wilson
Yeah, but to express what?
shane cashman
Express their distaste, distrust.
andrew wilson
Distaste, distrust for the government, not to burn the symbol.
shane cashman
But look how emotional everyone's getting over it.
It seems like a pretty good way to protest.
jack posobiec
I think that's a very new kind of take on the Constitution.
I think it's a very, very new read on it.
I mean, I'm sure you could probably talk to people from the War on Terror veterans who believe that.
But if you go back to World War II and ask any World War II.
shane cashman
Well, that's different.
Yeah, correct.
unidentified
I agree.
shane cashman
But still, Smedley Butler.
Smedley Butler.
Vietnam.
Decorated Purple Heart.
jack posobiec
The Marines.
Vietnam is probably.
shane cashman
Who wrote the book War is a Racket would probably be okay with that.
andrew wilson
Look, Moore MacArthur.
Moore MacArthur.
I'm just saying.
The idea that this was the same idea of you can be a communist if you want to.
Yeah, well, that really fucking sucked, didn't it?
Because ultimately the communists started taking over all the institutions and they indoctrinate all of our kids and it's horrible.
And so like, no, we probably should have locked them all up.
We probably should have eradicated.
We probably should have burned all our communist books.
jack posobiec
We've tried it.
We've tried the sort of libertarian, hey, we can be utopia and everyone can choose their own path and everybody can, you know, you can burn the flag or love.
It doesn't work.
Yeah, and it just doesn't work.
tate brown
And like the way this Constitution was organized, like it worked much better when we were like a hyper-homogenous people where everyone's like the same religion, same everything, same culture.
It's like now we're basically in an empire and we need to start, if we want to really embrace the empire life, as we've structured our country in 2025, it's like the laws do need to sort of reflect that we need a bit more order, a bit more structured everything, because people will just take any freedom, any inch you give them and like with this kind of ridiculousness.
And like I agree, I don't even know if it's really a right.
They will seize it to just throw forward.
shane cashman
I don't think we're going to get a better future with this top-down governance.
I think we'll get a better future when this country accepts Christ.
I think having a moral grounding from the bottom up.
I think a moral grounding from the bottom up is going to change generationally, but not top-down change won't do anything.
jack posobiec
But I think a lot of, and I had a friend from back home who's a Republican and but not like a huge Trump person, text me earlier today and said, you know, was asking about some of this stuff.
And I do think a lot of what Trump is doing when you talk about the crime, when you talk about this, the flag, when you talk about all, it's all connected, right?
So it's aesthetics.
It is the broken windows policy.
It is this idea that we need to reset.
We need a big public reset.
And to your point, right?
What can he do, right?
With the presidency, with the power that he has, well, executive orders, absolutely literally.
Executive orders is absolutely something he can do.
And to your point as well, what effect is it going to have?
Is it the most effective thing?
andrew wilson
Yeah, I understand, but it's going to be a process.
jack posobiec
You need that big.
You need that.
He did the same thing with the president's fitness, right?
He's doing the president's fitness plan again.
That's finally coming back.
So all of these things are resets kind of, and you know, really, it's back to the country that he remembers that he remembers from when he was growing up, from when he was having his formative years, how the country was.
He's just going back.
Even when he talks about the, I love it, he talks about the water pressure, right?
Yeah.
You know, he said, well, the water pressure used to be a lot better.
And he was right about that, actually.
tate brown
Yeah, whatever point, too.
It's like, that's why city conservatives are so different from like rural conservatives or even suburban conservatives because it's like Trump's neighborhood, he grew up in Queens, is an entirely, entirely different like culture, like civilization.
He grew up in Jamaica States.
Like when he was growing up, it was German and English and Scottish.
Now it's mostly South Asian.
So it's like that has a really galvanizing effect.
Not that, you know, not saying other people, you know, they don't see this.
Obviously, they see this as well.
But yeah, for city conservatives who grew up in a place like Queens and you're 70 years old, I mean, you've seen a churn, a civilizational churn occur like on your box.
andrew wilson
I agree with you when you say we need to get back to Christ.
100%, right?
Ethics do come, but the problem is, is like ethics do come from the top down.
What happened when Constantine converted to Christianity?
What happens when emperors convert to Christianity?
There is an outflow, right?
So the idea here is really simple.
It's like from the top down, you do need to have elected leaders who are putting in policy, which are reflective of Christian ethics.
The idea of symbols, which is what the cross is, right?
What if they made a law saying can't burn the cross?
You say, well, you have a right to do that.
Why?
It's really stupid.
Crossburning is like, I mean, but it's actually stupid.
But not for it.
It would actually be stupid to take different reasons.
To take this symbol, which gives people so much union over something and then make it legal to display it.
shane cashman
I just don't put that much power or weight into any symbol.
andrew wilson
You put it in the cross?
shane cashman
I do, but like, still, it's just a material object from the material world.
andrew wilson
People do whatever they want.
It's a material object which has a representation of the metaphor.
phil labonte
But even if you guys are, look, we're debating about whether the flag is covered under the First Amendment.
I think it's pretty clear that as much as Christian values is what the United States is based on, that you can't make legislation about like that.
You can legislate, you can legit, you can't legislate morality.
tate brown
Yeah, states did.
When the country was far more Christian than it is now, they had blasphemy.
andrew wilson
And I think you can legislate morality.
phil labonte
I think all legislation is not a problem.
I mean, legislating legislate, anything that you start, if you start legislating morality, people are going to say, well, that's legislating religion.
That's the argument they're going to do.
andrew wilson
All laws are morality.
No more murder laws, no more theft laws.
Those are all moral laws and guidelines, which are taken from Christian ethics.
This idea.
jack posobiec
Marriage laws.
andrew wilson
Oh, yeah.
First of all, we can legislate morality.
We do and we should.
And protecting.
phil labonte
That's exactly what the left has been protecting.
andrew wilson
Yeah, good.
The thing is, it's like, I know that they're doing that.
It's good that we're finally fighting back.
tate brown
And it works for them too.
andrew wilson
It's good.
We can take their tactics and use them back.
I'm sorry, the leftists can't burn our flags anymore.
unidentified
That's terrible, but I'll go die for the right to do it.
andrew wilson
That's stupid.
phil labonte
That's always not stupid.
unidentified
And guess what?
phil labonte
That's the argument that I'm making.
It doesn't work.
andrew wilson
It doesn't work.
phil labonte
It's not the argument that I'm making.
What's the argument?
The argument that I'm making is you can't have, because of the First Amendment, you can't say, okay, we're going to legislate these religious tenets.
Now, I understand the left actually has a religion when it comes to a lot of their ideology, and it actually behaves as a religion.
And so they actually.
andrew wilson
We have the 10th Amendment.
The 10th Amendment says that if the United States government can't do it, the states perspectively can.
The United States government can't make a law that says there's national religion.
That's it.
phil labonte
I strongly feel like listen, I strongly feel like that will go to the Supreme Court and the Supremacy Clause will kick in and they'll say you can't do that.
unidentified
You know what?
andrew wilson
A lot of people made that same argument about Roe v.
Wade.
It'll go to the Supreme Court and it'll die and it didn't.
And you know what?
They might repeal Obogerfell.
That's going to be great too.
phil labonte
Yeah, but that's the whole marathon.
andrew wilson
There's going to be religious students.
phil labonte
There are different precedents.
The precedent that the Obergefell – I'm not even sure what precedent was for Obergefell.
But the idea that you can pass a law that would in some way violate the First Amendment, they're going to throw – Look, if a state decides they want to, then they can go ahead and try it and see what the Supreme Court says.
andrew wilson
But there's already been precedent in the Supreme Court for this being called a Christian nation, right?
It was, what was it, Lovejoy, or I don't remember what the case was, but he literally said it's a Christian nation.
phil labonte
Look, if they want to go to the, if someone wants to try it and go to the Supreme Court, then fine.
Someone can try it.
Fine.
I strongly believe the court will say no under the First Amendment.
Well, if it falls under, you cannot pass.
andrew wilson
I think if you make the argument it falls under the 10th Amendment, that you can do some legislative things.
phil labonte
I think that they would say the supremacy clause says that the supreme First Amendment is supreme.
jack posobiec
I do think what we're arguing about here is a little bit past each other because of what Tate said earlier, right?
That the people do matter.
And even to your point, Phil, the Supreme Court justices matter.
And the Supreme Court justices are chosen by the president who is chosen nominally by the people of the states.
And so the people matter.
And it is going to come down to the reflections of the people.
And so we can get into the nitty-gritty of the 10th Amendment, the Supremacy Clause, et cetera, et cetera.
But which side is going to win?
And that will end up being the side that has had a stack.
phil labonte
Part of the reason why I would say that the supremacy clause would take precedent and that the First Amendment would protect people, would prevent states from doing it, is because the conservative justices, they don't always come down where you think they're going to come down.
You can reliably pick what the progressive justices are going to, or how they're going to vote.
You can always, they're always going to vote in line.
Sodom IR and Kagan and what's her name?
Kajenti Brown Jackson.
They're going to vote the same way all the time.
But you can't reliably predict the other ones.
unidentified
But the other ones because they shouldn't be making this prediction.
jack posobiec
But in the past, you could.
phil labonte
That's why you shouldn't be making this prediction.
No, this is why you should.
This is why you should be making the prediction.
Because they're not reliably conservative or not reliable.
Like they're not reliable at all when it comes to conservatives.
Because the conservative justices or the normal justices, right?
The ones that are not ideologically possessed, they're the ones that actually will think about the question at hand.
jack posobiec
Is that in the past you could?
unidentified
Right.
jack posobiec
Like this, this wouldn't have been something that was contested.
andrew wilson
Many precedents for your ability to do it.
And look, I do understand.
I do understand the idea of government overreach.
I was raised on this libertarian stuff, okay?
The libertarian garbage.
Hey, if we overreach, they're going to use it against us.
They don't give a shit.
They use everything against us anyway.
phil labonte
I just agreed with the point earlier tonight.
shane cashman
Libertarians are terrible.
I don't think there's a libertarian in this room.
phil labonte
I literally just agreed with that point earlier.
andrew wilson
So I just say, like, no, it's a powerful symbol and it needs to be protected.
And I would like to see these people dragged off the street when they burn it.
And I'd like to see their asses thrown in jail as an example for everybody else.
That's what I want to see.
shane cashman
And this is how I feel about the people who did Operation Warp Speed and burning down cities during the riots.
That was the most demoralizing thing.
And a lot of those people were let out of prisons by Kamala Harris's staff and the bail money they were donating.
jack posobiec
Absolutely.
unidentified
Yeah.
andrew wilson
No Jay Sixers in prison.
Those guys in prison.
unidentified
Yeah.
shane cashman
Oh, absolutely.
jack posobiec
I'm going to have to segue at one point, but, you know, I think the symbol argument and the effect that it has on people, especially as a dad, you know, if you take your kids to Washington, D.C. and you come in and you want to go to a museum or something and you walk by a group of people and you say, oh, you know, especially if you come in Union Station, right?
Union Station is where most people come to the city when they take the train and we have to come in.
And you see them right there.
And that's why they do it at Union Station, by the way, all the time.
And suddenly they're burning a flag.
Mommy, daddy, what are they doing?
They're burning the American flag.
Why isn't anyone stopping them?
And then you have to sit there and try to explain to a child.
I'm not saying I've done this, but you would have to sit there and then explain to the child that the flag that we teach them matters so much.
Actually, there's something beyond that that matters that you can't see and you can't touch, but it matters.
And that's their right to burn.
It falls apart.
andrew wilson
It is insane.
jack posobiec
And it completely falls apart.
andrew wilson
It's my view.
jack posobiec
It's communist.
andrew wilson
It's totally backwards.
And again, I do understand the overreach argument.
I get it.
But there's really not balance now.
there's no balance anymore there we can't really balance everybody's different priorities because they've already legislated hate crimes for burning their flags They've already done this.
Yeah, they'll do whatever is necessary to achieve political power while we're arguing about whether or not we should basically.
jack posobiec
Should we do something?
andrew wilson
Yeah, should we do something?
jack posobiec
Fight back.
unidentified
I don't know.
andrew wilson
Yeah, we probably should.
tate brown
It's like, yeah, do a burnout on a Pride Crosswalk.
They'll yank you out of your car.
I mean, it's crazy.
phil labonte
That's not acceptable either, though.
tate brown
What, doing a burnout?
phil labonte
No, the idea that you get yanked out of your car force.
andrew wilson
Oh, yeah, but unless we put in the power of law and we show that we will utilize force the same way that they're willing to, that's all they respect.
All they respect on the counter is force.
That's why they put their finger in your face, say, I'm not touching you, but you can't do anything about it until you smack them in the mouth.
That's how it works.
jack posobiec
And by the way, just last point on this, and we do have to segue, but it's it.
There are plenty of countries around the world, including Western Europe, where there are flag-burning laws.
This isn't some like quay, crazy, tyrannical, draconianism.
No one's ever said this before.
I mean, you could pull up the list.
I know people have in the comments.
It's country after country after country do actually criminalize this.
shane cashman
But just because they do it, is that okay to do it here?
andrew wilson
Yes.
jack posobiec
I'm not making that.
shane cashman
I know you know.
I'm asking Jack.
In this case, just because it's okay in other countries, that's a precedent for us to here and make that law.
jack posobiec
I'm not saying that's the only reason.
I spent a long time explaining why I think it's a good reason, but I'm also pointing out that other people agree with it as well.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
andrew wilson
That it's not draconian.
shane cashman
I just think it's a weak measure, and we have way bigger things to be fighting that I wish this administration would go after.
And this is like a small distraction giving you guys some fast food meals to cheer about.
Whereas I want to go after things that really like he promised to obliterate the deep state.
What's happening with that?
jack posobiec
Tulsi Gabber just said she's firing 50% of the IC.
shane cashman
Yeah, I get it.
I get it.
But there's big things like the Epstein.
I think that's big, but I think there's something beyond just that.
andrew wilson
It's just staffers.
I hear this a lot, and I understand.
Trump's supposed to be going after the deep state.
shane cashman
Well, he campaigned on it.
andrew wilson
Yeah, and these, you know, hundreds of hundred year positions.
shane cashman
We only have so much time.
We only have so much time.
andrew wilson
Every single time this guy drafts legislation about anything, anybody makes an executive order about anything, even small, to try to make some kind of change, it's his own side.
The guys who want to dismantle the deep state, who go after him the hardest, who curtail and hamstring him from doing something about a flag.
What do you think he's going to do to the deep state?
shane cashman
Exactly.
I don't think anything's going to happen.
jack posobiec
Well, I would say that's what I would argue, though.
I mean, I would argue that there's it's, I think the difference here is that it's short-term versus long-term.
I think these are long-term plays and long-term investments that are being made now.
Flag burning.
Crime is both short-term and long-term.
But, you know, you're also pointing out some things that, hey, we'd like to see some movement here, here, here, and here.
shane cashman
Midterms are on the horizon.
jack posobiec
Midterms are certainly on the horizon.
shane cashman
I don't know what's going to happen in 2028.
jack posobiec
And the point being is, if you don't have that much time, why wouldn't you want to make long-term investments?
shane cashman
Yeah, I do want to make long-term investments, but I hope we're actually making them in terms of this deepest.
jack posobiec
I think protecting the flag and setting the course of the nation for children is really important.
shane cashman
Okay.
I want to protect the children.
I don't think the flag does it.
andrew wilson
I mean, I mean, yeah, if you're not going to be able to learn the two genders via executive order, I think that that was important.
That's a long-term investment that you're talking about.
jack posobiec
100%.
andrew wilson
Right?
Saying that America is an English-speaking country, setting the precedent that, hey, the actual language you're going to speak here in English, that's a long-term precedent, right?
These are long-term investments.
But the other thing is, we cannot curtail this guy every single time he tries.
jack posobiec
Well, and a great example of that is our next story, by the way.
Contractually obligated to do these segues, by the way.
I'm not trying to excite a conversation for the record because this is a great combo.
But, you know, every day, I'll say this: you know, every day we get a story of something.
The Trump admin is doing this.
And this is a huge difference between, I would say, the second term and the first term is that this time around, they don't let things go.
It's not like they get hit by the media and then they just back off.
They're deporting Kilmar Garcia, or at least trying to, and they're fighting tooth and nail for this.
And I think that does set a precedent.
And you could argue, now, some people might argue, oh, that's super short-term.
Why do you care so much about this one guy?
And it's not about that guy.
It is about the precedent.
And it's about the precedent that this guy should not be here.
He should have been deported the first time.
And, you know, they brought him back, which I, you know, I feel a certain way about.
But now they're pushing him out again.
And this is the latest on it.
So they were going to be deporting him to Uganda, I think, which I think is so funny.
They should just, they should just like deport him to a country at random, just have like a list of countries.
You're going to one of these, right?
So this is deterrence, right?
And yes, we can certainly put Dr. Fauci on that list as well.
Which, by the way, don't get me wrong.
You mentioned Dr. Fauci, and I don't want to sound like I'm not addressing it.
President Trump talks about this all the time, that he wants to take a look at the validity of those pardons because I don't think there's any way that anyone can seriously say that an auto pen pardon is valid.
Dr. Fauci's pardon is absolutely not valid.
Hunter Biden's pardon, et cetera, all the rest of them.
And for the lies that Fauci did, he should absolutely have his pardon shredded.
andrew wilson
They could also make the argument that Joe Biden was not mentally fit.
jack posobiec
No, that's my point.
That's my point.
andrew wilson
He just was not mentally fit to do any of those anyway.
And I think that that's a really hard one for them to argue, considering they replaced him because he wasn't mentally fit.
So it's really hard for them to argue that point.
jack posobiec
So let me just get this update, though, on the story while we're here because a federal, this is, I think this happened just as we were coming up on the show because this changed basically as I was doing the intro here.
A federal judge, and this is from the great Thomas Stevenson.
Go follow him, by the way, over at Post10 because he does great work, work with him on a daily basis.
On Monday, federal judge appointed by Obama ruled that the Trump admin is forbidden from deporting alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Obrego Garcia for now.
This comes as he was detained.
Judge Paul Paula, oh, of course, Paula, U.S. District Judge Paula Shinnis blocked his deportation and said in court, the Trump admin legal team, your clients are absolutely forbidden at this juncture to remove Mr. Abreco Garcia from the continent of the United States.
This is our understanding until she holds a hearing to see if he can contest the deportation order to the third country.
The order comes.
Oh my gosh.
So this is what we see.
We see how the left utilizes power.
They never let go.
They fight back every chance they get.
They say, even if there's someone who's, even if you're an MS-13 member who was involved in trafficking, trafficking other illegals and I believe minors at one point, this guy was, it was brought up that he was trafficking.
Even for that person, they will still fight back.
andrew wilson
Well, this is a classic case.
Like, what do you do with power when you have it?
Well, first, you have to have it.
And we don't.
And so we have to be moving more towards that.
It is true that we have Trump as president, but we don't really have a right-wing entrenched establishment for power.
These guys do.
And this is exactly what they're doing with it.
unidentified
Yes.
andrew wilson
Then this is exactly what they'll do with it.
And they will curtail at every single turn any idea that you can remove people from the nation who aren't supposed to be here.
That's their future constituency.
They don't want nothing.
They don't want any type of curtailing.
shane cashman
He's going to run for mayor next.
unidentified
Kilmar.
shane cashman
Yeah.
andrew wilson
Well, and he might win.
jack posobiec
They'll love this.
shane cashman
Yes.
tate brown
Run mayor of Kampala, Uganda.
Maybe that'd be very nice.
Also, I think you could just ramp the pressure up by just keeping him in Baltimore and he'll just self-deport after like a few weeks.
I mean, like, let's be honest here.
And apparently he can't understand.
jack posobiec
Or be dealt with via other means.
unidentified
Right.
andrew wilson
Yeah.
The whole point was to make an example, right?
The whole point was to make an example.
jack posobiec
We are deporting you to Baltimore.
Just deport him to Baltimore.
tate brown
Please go to Uganda, please.
jack posobiec
Please, please, let me go to Uganda.
tate brown
I'm mad at the judge right now.
andrew wilson
Whoa, whoa.
We'll send you to Africa if we can just deport you anywhere.
The whole point is to make an example.
jack posobiec
Yeah, just put him out on the street in East Baltimore.
That's it.
That's it.
This is your deportation.
tate brown
Yeah, this could be kind of fun.
You could take the migrant down Embassy Row and be like, pick where you want to go.
unidentified
That's a little too nice.
tate brown
Come on, your budget's a little too high.
I don't know, maybe South Sudan.
jack posobiec
That might be more you.
No, you have to be the one of the ones that isn't on Embassy Row.
Yeah.
tate brown
Off Broadway.
andrew wilson
And didn't the Supreme Court recently say that they can deport to these other countries if they want to?
That the United States government can deport to Uganda if they want to.
They can just do that, right?
So watch them.
This may very well get overturned very again.
jack posobiec
You know, going back to whether there's rights or not rights.
I mean, there's basically they're saying that there's no obligation over the government to return them to their home country.
andrew wilson
Why should there be?
jack posobiec
And by the way, in many of these cases, you've got people who are from even far more far-flung places in the world than just Latin America.
andrew wilson
Yeah.
But hey, let me dip into your wallet to send them back on a free, luxury airplane ride halfway across the world.
shane cashman
How many times has he come back and forth now?
Like, why are we even paying for any of this?
He should have been gone immediately.
It's ridiculous.
phil labonte
Lawyer was saying that he's going to fight this.
What kind of defense is there possible?
It's possible for, like, he's, he's been adjudicated to be an illegal, right?
Like, he admitted it.
Like in corner, he was, he was picked up human trafficking, right?
Like, what kind of, what kind of defense could they possibly produce?
jack posobiec
I mean, it's very obvious that this is just a wait out the clock scenario where it's we're going to find it's it's kind of like when you have a death penalty case and they just they just come up with any theory anything they can find oh until the next administration you know and they just hold it over until you're right until a democrat gets in or something like that so that he's able to stay and that's and it's very clear they're they're trying to do that so shane to your point earlier about short-term versus long-term this is what happens when they're
shane cashman
pushing for these short-term gains yeah they still have to deal with this this is great you know i agree this guy has no rights this guy has no rights here this guy has no rights here he should never have been here and he should be launched out of here immediately yeah like the things i'm talking about in the previous stories have nothing they don't apply to this guy at all he should be launched into space all right so shane's happy now we're good send him the mars if i believe the mars but yeah i also like how hard we're mogging the british here because they tried the rwanda scheme and it failed miserably and then we're just like casually oh uganda you want some
jack posobiec
illegals you can have a few south sudan why not you open all right here's a few you got any tell brutal mogging i'm really sorry for the british but uh you know we make it look easy getting it's not the first time we've mogged them let's be real yeah but when it comes down to it when it comes down to it you know and i could see people saying you know why does it matter so much about this guy and i think it shows the fight i think it shows the new level of fight that trump admin 2.0 is showing where no we're not going to give up on this one and in fact because you made such a big deal
and the senators were flying down to el salvador and meeting with him in you know secot and all of this that we're not going to let go and we are going to make a symbol of this and we are going to show this to everyone and set the precedent that if you're here and if you're here illegally and you're rolled up you're going and there's no the the libs are do not have any power look at look at what you remember alligator alcatraz right we forget so the the idea like i watched the tour it's an air-conditioned facility right and
andrew wilson
it's set up uh this air-conditioned uh facility where there's fences which you know divide various prisoners probably some of them are more violent than others etc etc what's the actual problem here why is the expectation this is going to be the ritz why was there an expectation that this was going to be the ritz that this was going to be a nice hotel room for people to kick their feet up and relax but for some reason that seems to be the the case that these people are like hey i know because you look at uh like holding
cells the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's going to be the ritz that's in sweden and they're like oh they're nice that's actually having a major have you seen the original on the 44th floor of this luxury hotel before we fly you back to your country you can come break in whenever you want to this is a precedent against that kind of stuff this idea of like oh well no i mean i was just saying this is the the the reason trump is fighting this tooth and nail in Administration, he's trying to say, Look, we're done with that.
And by the way, this is a state-of-the-art holding cell, holding facility for illegals before they go.
It's fine to send them there as we're processing them out.
Enough of the rich treatment, enough of the you get everything you want treatment.
So, I think you're right on that.
shane cashman
Debit cards in New York City, take away the hotels, give them to the immigrant, the illegals.
unidentified
Insane, like Mets tickets on the way out.
shane cashman
Oh, which is kind of filled on.
tate brown
I think this is, I think, summer camps produce patriots because if you went to a summer camp, this looks fantastic, Alligator Alcatraz.
Like, this looks wonderful.
Like, I remember how horrid the conditions were, and you loved your time there.
phil labonte
So, just in on the first, District Judge Kathleen M. Williams has said that it has to be shut down.
So, it's still open, but they have significant restrictions currently, which again, it's not some kind of terrible place.
andrew wilson
They're going to fight that out too.
phil labonte
Well, I mean, and hopefully, the Trump administration wins.
But the point is, like, no matter what you do, the left is going to push back.
And like you mentioned earlier, the institutional power is still strongly in the left's favor because of judges and stuff like that.
andrew wilson
Well, judges, academics, the people who make studies which show the inhumane conditions of various people based on how they define it.
phil labonte
Super don't care.
andrew wilson
All of that is entrenched.
jack posobiec
I remember that.
So, I've, I, uh, I spent about a year at Guantanamo Bay serving there in the military and uh, not on the other side of the bars.
Um, but but we would, we would have those that it was the same deal.
It was like air conditioned, the facilities were really nice.
Uh, it was based on you know, supermax.
So, they get detainees would get whatever they wanted.
They would certainly get you know, religious-specific meals and keep halal and all this.
And then we would have so and and Red Cross was right there, International Red Cross.
So, they and they had pretty much full access all the time to the prison facilities, wherever they wanted it.
Um, 24-7, they had an office right there, and we would still get congressional delegations and journalists who would come in and we would show them all this.
And I would say what I just said about, hey, here's their medical group, and here's their Red Cross representative, and here's the lawyers that they get, and all of this.
And they would walk out and they said, torture, torture, torture in these torture conditions.
Look at the torture.
They're like, No, I just showed, like, I just spent all day showing you the nope, torture.
And, and it was, you know, I never kind of, I kind of, I'll put it this way: I kind of never believed the media to be like, I understood the media was like liberal, I guess, but was serving there and like going through that experience with you know, my own eyes to just realize how much lying they do, just straight blank lying that for the purpose of political expediency.
For the purpose of the expediency, but to, I mean, I always assumed it was like it was bad.
I had no idea how blatant it was.
andrew wilson
Do you think they just worse than that?
shane cashman
Did you show up just to get photos?
Like, why even go to prove that they were there?
jack posobiec
Yeah, just be like, they could prove they were there, and then they turn around and say, Oh, and then they know because I can't just post, you know, pictures of the conditions for lots of legal and secret facility, and you're a soldier, and that would be illegal, you know, that we can't really refute anything they're saying.
andrew wilson
Crazy, okay.
jack posobiec
And uh, John McCain did that when I was there, actually.
I got to briefly.
andrew wilson
Well, you're right, they do blatantly lie, they lie often, and they lie constantly.
Journalists, yeah, have to do it.
jack posobiec
And this, this, yeah, so this was this is me serving the military and be like, wait a minute, it seems that the lies are far stronger than I realized.
I thought they were merely in love with it.
But since we're talking about symbols today, I think Serge has our next story up, which is also important because it's a big symbol.
And this is Cracker Barrel.
Of course, we're getting into Cracker Barrel.
People are saying, and I've seen people saying, Why do you guys care so much about again?
It's symbols.
It is the power of symbols.
You know, I know there's someone out there who has a famous adage, but I would flip it around.
I would say feelings don't care about your facts.
unidentified
So true.
jack posobiec
And that I think people have people imbue symbols with meaning because they are a representation of a greater ideal, a greater truth, a greater nation, a greater religion.
You know, a cross is just a plus symbol, right?
andrew wilson
It's also a way to convey a huge amount of information immediately.
jack posobiec
Immediately.
Yeah.
And this is what a meme is, too.
The meme is the same thing.
So is a cross just a plus symbol that's slightly off-center?
No.
andrew wilson
Depending on how the cross is set, it conveys if you're this type of Christian, that type of Christian.
Symbolism conveys not just this idea of like intuition and feelings, but it conveys a significant amount of information between people, but they never have to say a word.
jack posobiec
Precisely.
And so, and so when people say, why do you care so much about Cracker Barrel?
Oh, that's Boomer Slop.
And it's like, you know, I get what you're saying, but I do think there's something bigger.
So go, wait, go back to the headlines here.
Do I want to hit that?
So Cracker Barrel reversing course, admitting they failed with the rebrand, vowed to include Uncle Herschel on the menu, store, and roadside.
Uncle Herschel wouldn't have wanted it anyway.
Well, he is a cracker, so I don't know.
tate brown
Yeah, this is really grim stuff.
We staged, me and my friend Nathan Hauberstad, he was on the Culture War Friday.
We actually went and staged a sit-in at the local Cracker Barrel afterwards as a former protest.
And it was a very empty Cracker Barrel.
jack posobiec
So I think the picture is yellow, by the way, for the record.
He's just yellow.
I don't think he's one or the other.
tate brown
I don't think Cracker Barrel is, I don't think it means it's for everyone, right?
jack posobiec
Yeah, obviously.
tate brown
It's for every color, creed.
It's a beautiful thing.
And they're trying to take that away.
And it's very sad.
And I agree.
Like, people say it's boomer slop.
I'm like, well, if you've been on a road trip, it does mean a little more.
I mean, because there's not these great food institutions along a road trip.
It's like places like Cracker Barrel remind you of your childhood.
jack posobiec
Some places you get McDonald's or Cracker Barrel.
Sure.
tate brown
Yeah.
And that's it.
Well, Cracker Barrel is that's fine dining when you're on the road.
And it's like, yeah, it reminds you of your childhood.
It reminds you of family.
You know, the rusty farm equipment everywhere, like horse castrator and whatnot.
It's like, it's a really beautiful thing.
And they want to turn it into farmhouse chic.
unidentified
I mean, well, they turned all the McDonald's into prisons.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Brutalism.
andrew wilson
They look for awful.
unidentified
Farmhouse chic is like prisons.
jack posobiec
It's just gray.
And it's gross.
I think the reason that Cracker Barrel, and we'll see what they end up actually doing with it, but I think the reason that it resonated so directly, because what's interesting is people, you know, people would say, like, oh, this is woke, right?
But it's not necessarily woke in the sense they're not changing it to like a rainbow color or adding things like that or changing it to like a like a woman or something.
But we all know that it's wrong.
shane cashman
It's woke-ish because it's ugly.
Well, it's like, oh, the whole, it's a war on beauty.
phil labonte
The backlash wasn't from the beginning.
shane cashman
Cracker Barrel's beauty.
phil labonte
The backlash wasn't just from people on the right, if I understand correctly.
The Democrats came out of the people on the left that were just like, this sucks.
tate brown
You see it all the time when they have these beautiful old homes and especially millennials will come through and just gut it and paint everything white and turn out farmhouse chic.
And it's like, it's not woke, it's just like sad, like you're losing something.
andrew wilson
Well, and they make the Mick Mansion track homes.
jack posobiec
Well, I do think, I do think that it's, if we're talking about symbols, what is it a symbol of?
It's a symbol of the America that came before.
And it's a symbol of American heritage for how we got to where we are.
And so, you know, that old America, quote unquote, versus new America or whatever you want to call it, real America versus New America is definitely the sentiment seminal moment of our, you know, of our time.
It's our, this is our challenge.
This is our fight right now.
Which one is going to win out?
Is it the Kilmar Garcia America who doesn't care, you know, to even speak the language and he'll go eat whatever he wants?
Or is it the people who, or is it the people who come in there and say, oh, you know what?
My grandfather had one of those, you know, or we were going there with my wife, who isn't even from this country.
Let me ask you, since you guys kept asking that as well.
andrew wilson
Conspiracy hat time.
jack posobiec
Oh.
andrew wilson
Conspiracy hat time.
You have to turn it into tinfoil or tinfoil hat time.
Do you think that this story got launched into the public consciousness purely because the name Cracker was in Cracker Barrel?
shane cashman
It's not the first time it's tried.
They tried this.
Remember a few years ago going around on Twitter about them trying to change the name of Cracker Barrel and they thought it was offensive.
It might even start as a meme, but then people took it seriously.
It was trending for a while.
So they definitely tried it before.
jack posobiec
I was hoping that this was just one of those outrage marketing things when I first heard it.
I was like, that's ridiculous.
Why would they, you know, why would they get rid of that?
I do think, and we were talking about this beforehand, though, I think a bunch of us, I forget exactly who it was, that possibly the real conspiracy here isn't necessarily that they want to change the logo, but they want to change the entire business model because they're trying to move away from sit and dining.
andrew wilson
A lot of places remove.
Cracker Barrels have that whole front area before you sit down and eat.
That's like a little boutique.
jack posobiec
Like a general store.
shane cashman
It's the parent.
Family friendly.
It's like one of the last real family-friendly places.
andrew wilson
By the way, when we go there, they're very expensive and nobody buys shit.
jack posobiec
When we get there, though, they don't buy anything as a family.
When we go there with kids, it's like they spend all their time there.
Because when you're waiting for the food to come, the kids are like, I need this.
I need this.
I need this.
I need one of these.
I need some of this stuff.
And it's like, eventually they kind of wear you down.
andrew wilson
I eat at Cracker Barrels, especially when I'm on trips.
And I rarely see anybody in the boutique side actually buy anything.
They go through and they look.
jack posobiec
Yeah.
andrew wilson
You know, why is they're waiting for their table?
They'll look a little bit on their way out, but I don't see them buy much.
And the price tag is why.
So I think they probably are downsizing to something which is more bean counter-friendly.
phil labonte
Brade AI says that it's 20% of the time.
andrew wilson
But the whole idea, the whole idea for a rebrand, if you're changing that whole front boutique area, is going to be what?
The symbol.
You want to remove the symbol so that people don't associate it anymore with, oh, we have family fun time at the boutique.
And then, you know, we play on the enormous chessboard out front and then get in the rocking chair right afterwards.
And then when you're sitting there eating, they have Chinese checkers there for you to play, right?
jack posobiec
Peg.
The peg game.
unidentified
Yeah.
jack posobiec
And the peg game.
tate brown
It made it woke.
It's like a lip tard version now.
They don't mock you if you like suck up.
That's not just a nice try.
andrew wilson
That's not even the most profitable model in a society that doesn't have kids.
phil labonte
So the Cracker Barrels gift shop isn't attractive.
jack posobiec
Which goes back to what you're saying about McDonald's because McDonald's, when you were, when we were kids, I think we're all the kind of oven age.
That was the place, man.
You actually, this is a great question.
Do you remember McDonald's being awesome as a kid?
tate brown
It's always just been like the mediocre restaurant.
jack posobiec
So you don't have that memory.
shane cashman
What about the experience?
Like when you went there, was it exciting?
tate brown
No, because there were a playground.
There was like one at a play place.
I remember there.
andrew wilson
Was it one of the big ones that had the massive jungle gyms with the slides and the ball pit?
And there was tons of kids there.
unidentified
Yeah.
andrew wilson
Yeah.
jack posobiec
So when we were all kids.
andrew wilson
Oh, yeah, no, there was ball pits.
jack posobiec
When we were all kids, McDonald, it was, I want to say almost every McDonald's, unless you were like in the middle of the city, had this huge play area for kids.
And the inside was designed for kids as well.
So there'd be like seats constructed out of the characters and like the hamburgler would be like your bench that you were like sitting there.
shane cashman
It was fast food Disney World.
phil labonte
That's it.
jack posobiec
It was like Disney World.
Yeah.
phil labonte
Back when they had ashtrays.
jack posobiec
It was literally like ashtrays with ashtrays.
And it was, and it was great because, you know, if you're there, and if you're, you know, with mom or dad, you know, then they knew they could take the kids there and then, hey, cut them loose.
You know, you go do your thing, order the food, food's coming in.
Hey, if it's here, you got to yell at them to get off the playground.
The world used to be made, or at least the country used to be made for families.
And I will say, and people are, I saw someone in the chat say, Pasoga's going to bring up Europe.
I am.
You know what I am?
Because going around, you know, I spent a bunch of time in Poland this year for the election and successful.
andrew wilson
Polish people are smart enough to have elections.
unidentified
I know.
jack posobiec
Somehow.
shane cashman
Well, basically, it's how many Polish people does it take.
jack posobiec
Does it take?
They just find the one.
They just find the one.
And then he picks.
And everyone's like, all right, they got it.
And so, and so they still have this.
Hungry is the same way.
It's still very pro-family.
So you see stuff for kids everywhere.
And I don't just mean like in McDonald's.
I mean, like, you walk, you could walk into like a five-star restaurant, and the very first thing you'll see off to the side is a kids' area.
And they'll say, okay, well, here's an area for the kids.
There's some games.
There's some toys.
Sometimes they even have someone like assigned to sort of watch that area.
So you can go and sit at your table, right?
Where it's probably not great for kids, even though you have to teach restaurant manners, but we all know how that goes.
And they just have these kids' areas that are totally incorporated in the world.
And you even see it in, you know, just you go to offices or a place where you have a waiting room.
There's a kid, there's a kids' area.
There's just little kids' areas.
andrew wilson
If you want to be mean to people who can't have children here, it's going to make them feel bad, which is why we need to take half of the public parts from all the playgrounds.
shane cashman
Make everything sad.
andrew wilson
Right.
And yeah, you want to make sure that you don't do anything which is too family oriented.
And by the way, what if we made that a symbol?
The American family.
What if we made that a symbol and put it everywhere?
Mom and dad with kids.
And all of them together.
Maybe that's the sign instead of my two dads.
You know, what if we made that a symbol?
shane cashman
Have you noticed that American cities have just become completely anti-family?
unidentified
Okay.
shane cashman
Everywhere I go now, and I don't see families.
It's crazy.
phil labonte
Well, part of the reason is because there are so few Gen Z and few millennials.
Like millennials and Gen Z are vanishingly small gender.
andrew wilson
Yeah, we eliminated 20 order them all.
Here's the other thing to look at.
This propaganda started, I would say, probably in the early 90s.
It wasn't this bad in the 80s, but in the early 90s, especially.
And then right about the time we hit 2000, 2003, it got really bad.
There's no symbols anymore of an American family anywhere.
And we need that propaganda.
jack posobiec
I really need that propaganda.
It's so funny you mentioned this because this is something that I look for all the time, especially when I'm overseas.
That you see it in Hungary, you see it in Poland, where they just have, and when you say propaganda, it's just like in an advertisement for Coca-Cola or even McDonald's.
In those countries, they will include that.
And you can look this up: foreign, you know, foreign images of the same company, and then they won't do it in America.
phil labonte
This is an argument that I make all the time.
Like the left loves to say we need to center the margins, and that's a ridiculous concept.
It's a ridiculous idea.
We need to center families, normal families with men and women and kids because that's what you want to encourage.
andrew wilson
But do you know why they can't?
So the feminists did this.
Feminists destroyed it.
The idea is the entirety of the government is moving towards women going to college.
Women need to go to college.
They need to be educated.
They need to have a fallback system for when the man inevitably screws them over, right?
The truth is, is that those years, those college years, that's childbearing years.
Those are your best childbearing years.
And you're wasting them at college and you got another four or five years after college to get your career established.
You get married at 30 and you have one kid.
It's the most anti-family system that you could ever have envisioned.
phil labonte
It's anti-human because families make more humans.
So if it's an anti-family policy, it's anti-human.
jack posobiec
Unhuman.
shane cashman
Now you got over here somewhere.
andrew wilson
Now you have what?
How many women do you have coming out of colleges right now who have these useless degrees?
It's always psychology, sociology, early childhood development, daycare, you know?
Useless.
jack posobiec
And as much as I hate to say it, but as we know, that's, you know, is that really all they're doing on those campuses is studying for these degrees?
andrew wilson
Well, they're studying a lot of penises.
shane cashman
No, it's Marxist boot camp.
andrew wilson
That's the truth.
The truth is, is that these become issues of sexual deviancy, drugs, all of that, right?
They're inundated in it almost immediately.
Big party culture at colleges.
Nobody's going to dispute that.
I mean, huge party cultures.
And the entire idea is: okay, now she's gone through 10 different dudes.
You know what I mean?
Now she's ready to settle down.
And now she's out of her girl boss phase.
Oh, I got the degree, right?
I got run through in college.
Now I'm moving towards I want a family.
And what guy wants them?
What guy wants these entitled boss babes?
And so, anyway, that's a whole different thing.
But the idea here is it is indeed an anti-family policy to try to move women towards colleges that fail-safe because men are evil and are going to screw them over.
shane cashman
Totally.
I mean, we're moving towards a future where kids are going to have grandmas who had OnlyFans.
That's like maybe happening right now, right?
Maybe happening right now.
jack posobiec
Great grandmas who have only checks.
My grandma has more subs than yours.
shane cashman
Oh, my goodness.
andrew wilson
That's hell.
shane cashman
That is, yeah, we're in hell.
jack posobiec
I mean, it's like, yeah, you find a picture of your grandmother when, you know, when she was younger, and it's like, oh, here she is with her family.
Maybe a picture of her with friends.
You know, now it's.
andrew wilson
Wasn't Barack Obama's mom basically an OnlyFans girl?
shane cashman
Screw that.
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
andrew wilson
Wasn't she one of the first?
shane cashman
You're right.
You know, and married to a man.
phil labonte
To your point about, you know, having women get into the workforce essentially, I really think that that's one of the reasons for that is because generally it makes people unhappy.
And unhappy people tend to be more likely to be revolutionaries.
Happy people don't protest.
They don't go and become activists.
Unhappy people do.
And if you have a generation of unhappy people, you're more likely to have a generation of activists and protesters.
Well, there's something that will destabilize the nation.
andrew wilson
There's something to that, but I would just reinforce the point by saying this: that women are the easier, they're much easier to propagandize.
Much, much easier to propagandize than men are.
There's a reason that they defer women into education, and they want women in control of lower education, especially.
And that's where indoctrination begins.
And that's why when you go to a public school, it's a nightmare.
And little Johnny's sitting there with his hands folded quietly, and all he wants to do is go outside and play and not do anything else in this feminized school, right?
But we don't allow that.
jack posobiec
Well, I mean, this is so I wrote the book on humans last year, and what we're talking about here is the entire plot of the book.
It's the thesis.
But the thesis is that at some level, it's deliberate.
andrew wilson
Totally deliberate.
jack posobiec
Yeah, the deconstruction is the point.
The destabilization is the point.
That's why you have Karen Bass, for example, take this into a city level, where she was actually trained by Marxist revolutionaries out of Cuba at a young age and was in these brigades and was taking trips down to Cuba for training and then comes up and people say, why is she pursuing these policies that destroy Los Angeles?
That's the point.
The destruction is the point.
They don't actually care about the equality or the social justice or the equity or the, oh, you're free to find your decision.
No, they don't care about any of that stuff.
It's actually about destroying, destroying beauty.
andrew wilson
Yeah.
And this is nothing new.
Look at Hanoi Jane Fonda.
Remember when she was going and hanging out with communists and she wanted to become a cultural sex symbol and this type of thing?
What was she pushing?
She was pushing socialist ideology as well.
jack posobiec
And here's so I'll segue into, and I think this might be our final topic before we move to super chats.
But this talking about, you know, messaging, talking about, you know, the pushing of things in society of all places, Snoop Dogg, folks, Snoop Dogg is the one speaking out.
Snoop Dogg is criticizing LGBTQ characters in children's movies, laments kids going to ask questions, said he didn't have answers when his grandson questioned a same-sex couple having a baby in a children's movie.
And I think they may, yeah, here's the line.
He says, I'm going to read this.
Why my grandson in the middle of the movie like Papa Snoop?
How she have a baby with a woman?
Is she a woman?
OS.
shane cashman
Can you read that as Snoop?
jack posobiec
I didn't come in for this S.
I just came to watch the G movie.
Hey, man, watch the movie.
They just said she and she had a baby.
They both women.
How she have a baby?
The movie ain't over with.
And it's like, and that's Snoop Dogg, right?
You know, he just comes out.
And I think, I think things have gotten to a certain kind of point when you've got Snoop Dogg pushing back against the destabilization of culture, specifically movies intended for children.
andrew wilson
Well, can we just finally all admit that blacks have always been pretty based on the gay issue?
jack posobiec
They're not down.
andrew wilson
They've always been pretty based on it.
jack posobiec
The Download Brothers.
andrew wilson
You got to look at the.
But look at what happened in California.
I mean, they stopped.
It was the black vote.
It was a deciding vote against gay marriage.
jack posobiec
What was the prop?
It was where they voted against it.
andrew wilson
Yeah, yeah.
So, I mean, they were the deciding vote.
Blacks, not big fans.
Not big fans.
shane cashman
Look where Snoop is.
jack posobiec
Not allies.
shane cashman
Look where Snoop is today and look where Lil Nas X is today.
One's railing against this crazy stuff, and Lil Nas X is in jail.
phil labonte
Just naked walking.
shane cashman
There you go.
andrew wilson
Who would have ever thought it was a guy who put blood in his shoes was going to have a bad ending?
shane cashman
The guy who danced on Satan?
Yeah, interesting.
andrew wilson
Who would have thought?
phil labonte
Prop eight.
It was prop eight in California.
Prop eight.
jack posobiec
I thought it was pro eight.
phil labonte
It was a ballot initiative that amended the state constitution and then was overruled by the Supreme Court, of course.
jack posobiec
Snoop actually, and people, people forget this, but I Snoop actually performed at Trump's inauguration at one of the parties.
So he performed at the Crypto Ball.
I was there.
So I think that counts as me of seeing Snoop live.
phil labonte
I'm not trying to sneak on you, but like.
jack posobiec
I'm just saying he was there.
He was.
shane cashman
Let us have it.
phil labonte
I'm not trying to.
No, no, no, but it is now it's like a safe time to do this too, right?
Like culturally, five years ago.
shane cashman
Kanye was doing this years ago.
phil labonte
Yeah, if he was coming out saying this kind of stuff five, six, seven, eight years ago, he would have been pardon the pun, but dogpiled.
andrew wilson
Ah, like, but you know, it, but it's even if he's seeing, even if he is being opportunistic, isn't that still a good sign that he's saying, hey, wait a minute, no, no, current in rap, even at the time, 10 years ago, they were still pretty against LGBTQ.
jack posobiec
Yeah, but isn't that the big conspiracy theory in rap, though, that like Tupac was possible?
andrew wilson
The undercover thing is definitely that's not a joke, but it's not a joke in the Republican Party either.
And it's not a joke, you know?
shane cashman
Like, it Tupac and Lindsay Graham would have been friends.
andrew wilson
Yes, that is the case that there's a lot of these undercovers who are around, you know, and I just, I'm not sure that they're any more plagued with it than any other specific community is, especially in the music industry, which is one of the most degenerate places on planet Earth.
And you're in the entertainment industry, also hyper-degenerate, as you know.
jack posobiec
And well, this was one of the big things where the Diddy trial, people kept, you know, kind of wondering where, you know, is there going to be more?
Is this guy the black Epstein?
Are they going to have more, you know, more of this coming out?
And it's like, nothing more really come out, came out of that.
andrew wilson
Bit of a flop.
jack posobiec
It's just all sort of like, it just all sort of went away.
And I was like, and it reminded me, you know, to your point about Epstein earlier, it was, it reminded me of the Glaine Maxwell trial where everybody was telling me, oh, there's going to be so much that comes.
There's so much that comes.
And it hasn't.
We should actually, you know, this happened since, you know, Serge, we didn't have this on the list, but, you know, Shane, since we, I don't think Tim has had a show since this has happened.
Glene Maxwell transcripts have come out.
shane cashman
Yeah.
I trust her as much as I trust the 9-11 passports.
andrew wilson
And it most certainly doesn't look like she's talking about that.
unidentified
I'm going to ask her pardon at all.
shane cashman
But I'm happy to hear all this.
This is great.
I just, I wanted to see people speaking.
Like I told you when I did your show.
unidentified
Yeah.
shane cashman
I want to see people chatting about it before on, you know, on for all of us to see, because I don't trust it.
andrew wilson
I want to see people in prison.
jack posobiec
That's exactly right.
I would say, I'll say this, and I'll put my Gitmo hat back on.
You know, good, good first meeting.
Right.
You know, and if that's, I certainly hope that that is a series of meetings because there's so many different things that she mentions in this transcript.
Like at one point, she goes, you know, they say, because Todd Blanch, she doesn't ask a lot of open-ended questions, but one of the open-ended questions, which is something, by the way, I'd like the open-ended questions better because then they might say something that reveals themselves versus if you give them a yes, no, it's a lot easier.
So he says at one point, did you perform any money laundering?
And she goes, like, well, I think you did for some cartels.
And it's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, can we get some follow-ups on that?
Which cartels?
You know, what were we talking about here?
You know, they ask about Masad.
Did you work with Masad?
And he goes, she goes, you know, not knowingly.
Not knowingly.
andrew wilson
You don't think that this was all pre-coached?
jack posobiec
You know, I'm sure there's a lot of that.
I'm sure there's a lot of pre-coaching.
But again, that's what I'm saying is that that's why you ask the open-ended questions because even in those cases, you do get the opportunity for the person to, you know, to slip up.
And at which point, okay, the lawyer might step in or whatever it is.
But at the same time, you've got to do more and you've got to continue.
andrew wilson
I feel like this is just damage control at this point on my side of the aisle for Trump.
I do think he could have gone down on Fifth Avenue and shot someone and still had support, but you don't protect Epstein and get support.
And so, and I think that that narrative, which was crafted, is sticking to him and is sticking to him pretty hard.
And people want answers in the Epstein files and they want to, didn't Barr testify as well recently behind closed doors?
jack posobiec
Barr testified as well, and some of it leaked where he said that Trump himself was not implicated.
But I think that's what leaked that's come out.
shane cashman
I don't think Trump's guilty or a part of it, really.
I think he's probably just, he keeps saying he wants to protect people who are listed with this stuff.
The files don't even mean much to me, honestly.
He's like, the files have been through so many hands in different administrations.
I want to see people go to prison.
I want to see them testify before the public.
andrew wilson
Well, like, we know what happened with Prince Andrew.
Why isn't he in jail?
jack posobiec
We know, like, we know.
Right.
So when people say, oh, there weren't, there weren't clients.
Like, well, what was Andrew?
unidentified
Yeah.
That was Les Wex.
jack posobiec
How would you define that?
shane cashman
What was Les Wex?
andrew wilson
And the girl that he did that to, who went public, explained the whole racket and said that, you know, like these women were being groomed for like a year.
unidentified
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
jack posobiec
So that woman, this was something that just broke that apparently she had written a book, Virginia DeFree, which even though she's died at this point under questionable circumstances.
andrew wilson
No, she tripped and fell.
jack posobiec
Of course.
I believe the book is still coming out.
And I tell people about my wife's book coming out soon.
tate brown
Well, like Prince Andrew, it's like he just won't visit the U.S.
And he's like, I'm not interested.
andrew wilson
Ever, ever again?
shane cashman
Like, I really want to see people be asked certain questions.
Like, the guard in Epstein's prison who let Epstein make that final phone call.
Epstein said he was calling his mom, who'd been dead for years, ended up calling Karina Shuliak, his girlfriend at the time.
Like, what went down with that?
Why was that allowed to happen?
andrew wilson
The crippling part was Dan Bongino.
The crippling part was when Dan Bongino was drafted into the administration.
I watched Bongino.
I watched his coverage of Epstein for six months.
Okay.
And when he gets in the administration and then he came out within weeks and was like, there's nothing to see here.
I was like, what?
Wait, what?
That was not, it was not a good selling point.
Once they, when they released the files and gave them to all the influencers and all of this, it was an optical nightmare.
The video.
Where's Bongino?
You know, Bongino has been remarkably quiet about all of this.
And I think he knows that something's up and he's just not really spilling the beans yet.
shane cashman
Epstein's alive.
I guarantee you he's alive.
They switched him out.
I'm dead serious.
andrew wilson
I actually, there's, look, I'm not the tinfoil hack guy, but you know, his brother had his own investigation done with very credible, you know, forensic analysis.
And he doesn't think that that was Epstein.
shane cashman
Michael Biden, I think, who's at JFK?
andrew wilson
He doesn't believe the official story at all.
I mean, they had their own evidence.
jack posobiec
But his body was cremated, right?
shane cashman
Now it is.
jack posobiec
Epstein's body.
unidentified
Yeah.
shane cashman
Allegedly.
andrew wilson
Yeah.
Yeah.
shane cashman
Something like that.
jack posobiec
No, no, no, that's what I'm saying.
andrew wilson
Like, it's not, it's not like you could dig it up and now, whether, now, whether, now I'm not going to go as far as to say he's still alive, right?
But I'm just saying it's very credible.
It is very credible that the official story shouldn't really be trusted at all.
jack posobiec
Yeah, no, I mean, it's one of those situations where when you've got people, it's, you know, like we were saying, it's like the locked door, you know, mystery where we've got so many people wanting to know what's going on.
And when you've got a level of criminality that's being discussed here, that's just so heinous and so disgusting.
andrew wilson
And at the elite level.
jack posobiec
And involving people, you know, Ehud Barack and Prince Andrew and heads of state and Bill Clinton, how many times to the island?
And people are just not going to let go.
andrew wilson
They're just absolutely across his administration for some reason.
jack posobiec
And when you sit down and say, and this is why there was such a backlash when this memo got dropped, I think it was the 4th of July or the 4th of July weekend.
That, oh, that's the end, that people just freaked out.
They said, what do you mean that's the end?
That is not the end.
And we refuse.
We refuse to.
andrew wilson
Well, if Trump doesn't do, if he doesn't move on, I mean, people aren't letting this one go.
And if he doesn't, if there's not something, if they're not, if they don't start pushing something out, there's going to be a massive problem with his base because I've never seen so many Trump supporters pissed off about an issue as I have about this.
It's not the biggest thing.
jack posobiec
Ever.
andrew wilson
Never.
jack posobiec
Clearly the big story.
phil labonte
But the polls don't say that.
shane cashman
CNN said otherwise.
andrew wilson
Oh.
Okay, then.
phil labonte
So, well, I mean, well, you're asserting that there's a lot of people that actually care about that.
There are a lot of people.
There are a narrow group of people that are very vocal about it.
jack posobiec
Here's what I'm saying.
phil labonte
That doesn't mean that it's going to change anyone's vote.
jack posobiec
Here's what I would.
andrew wilson
And it's those vocal people, those vocal, the influencers and things like that.
They're the ones who are always an hater of Trump's message.
jack posobiec
Here's what I would argue.
Who else argue?
That the, because you're talking about the political aspect of it, the political aspect of it, and we do have to go to super chats.
I'm looking at the clock.
The political vulnerability that it creates is a path for an independent or even a Democrat to come in and use this issue to totally take the momentum back from all of the legitimate wins that have been put on the board.
andrew wilson
They are.
jack posobiec
We put a ton on, we've put a ton on just up tonight, but it is a way for someone to sweep in and say, oh, but you didn't do this.
Do you think that it's used as a cudgel?
phil labonte
Do you think that moves people?
Because the argument that I've seen always retorted is like, where was all this energy for four years when Biden was in office?
jack posobiec
I don't think Democrats don't care.
I don't think a voter is going to.
I think that if you could find a Democrat that credibly rallied around this, it would be very political, potent, politically potent.
I don't know if it's enough to save the Democrat Party or the Democrat brand, but it's way better than anything.
phil labonte
Yeah, I don't think that it could save the Democrats.
andrew wilson
It's enough to attack the MAGA brand, though.
jack posobiec
Oh, yeah.
andrew wilson
And the thing is, is that a lot of them, they're going to use anything they can to MAGA.
Look, I'm not, I don't disagree, but some things that you attack people with, like he's saying, much more potent than others.
phil labonte
So it's your opinion that this sticks then, or could stick?
andrew wilson
It is.
It is sticking.
I've never seen influencers this pissed off.
I've never seen so many people in the MAGA base pissed off.
Guys I talked to were supporters from day one, even when the J6 stuff was going on.
They weren't backing off an inch.
They are furious about this.
phil labonte
Are they furious about the fact that things haven't been released?
Are they furious about the way that they're going to be able to do that?
andrew wilson
They're furious for all the fact that they think Trump's sitting on evidence of this, and they don't know why he won't release it.
phil labonte
That's what they believe.
jack posobiec
That seems like I'm getting clocked.
shane cashman
I'm going to say goodbye really quick because I got to run them on my show.
This is a pleasure, guys.
We're going to be live at 10 o'clock.
jack posobiec
Tell out the name of the show again.
shane cashman
Pales from the Inverted World, Inverted World Live on Rumble and YouTube, 10 o'clock.
We go live, call on show, give us a call.
We're going to talk about a lot of crazy stuff.
We're going to hear from Sergeant Payton.
See y'all later.
Thanks, man.
jack posobiec
Love you, Shane.
shane cashman
Love you, man.
jack posobiec
All right, we got a rock.
Let's hit some of these super chats.
We have the first one.
It's a strange name.
unidentified
It says Likma Jon San.
jack posobiec
And it says, any episode with Pozo is a good episode.
Hashtag Pizza Hut Nationalism.
Yeah, Pizza Hut Nationalism is basically what I was talking about.
About, you know, McDonald's.
Pizza Hut used to be awesome, man.
tate brown
I heard there was a picture.
andrew wilson
Isn't that Making It Great?
tate brown
I remember like faint memories of a salad bar.
jack posobiec
Yeah, there was a big, there was a big making it great.
andrew wilson
Making it great?
unidentified
Don't even like you, Mary.
andrew wilson
Hang on.
You know what?
I got the best Pizza Hut one.
jack posobiec
I don't like it because it reminds me of that commercial and it reminds me of how good it was and how truly amazing that place was.
andrew wilson
Wasn't it a Pizza Hut commercial at the very beginning of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
jack posobiec
Yeah, and Land Before Time.
andrew wilson
Yeah.
Where it's like the kid in the ball game or whatever.
jack posobiec
Yeah, there was that.
There was the baseball game one.
And then the other one was the birthday party with the cheese and the straws.
andrew wilson
Yeah.
jack posobiec
And it was, I mean, just like, it was basically the plot of the movie Sandlot, but it as a commercial, but it ends with a Pizza Hut visit with all the friends.
I mean, come on.
andrew wilson
At the beginning of a kid's movie?
jack posobiec
Come on.
Just forget about it.
tate brown
They've taken everything.
jack posobiec
Forget about it.
They really have.
tate brown
They really have.
jack posobiec
They really have, bit by bit.
So Pizza Hut.
andrew wilson
And they custom that movie, too.
jack posobiec
Let's go in.
Millennial Mama.
I love history.
I've always wanted to go to DC.
Do you think it's safe enough now for a mom and daughter?
Where is the best place to stay?
It is safe enough now.
Best place to stay.
Of course, you know, you know, check your budget.
Obviously, there's some really good options right across the river, right across the Potomac in Northern Virginia.
So it's really easy to get back and forth if you're driving.
If you're taking Uber, you go to Metro.
Come now, right?
Come before the come while this is all going on because this is absolutely the best time to visit DC.
The Booney, okay.
Kiel is saying the boonies able to send Rep Burchett a longboard for his birthday.
The 28th Amendment board is my personal favorite.
I guess we'll, I guess we'll.
andrew wilson
It's not the B-Gay board.
jack posobiec
I'll pass that to the CEO team.
Hopefully not that one.
Yeah.
phil labonte
I don't think we have any longboards, though.
jack posobiec
Oh, wow.
Is this?
Did this just happen?
Did Trump Trump fire the Federal Reserve Governor?
tate brown
It just happened.
jack posobiec
Okay, I haven't been on that.
Oh, well, appreciate the heads up, guys.
unidentified
That was great.
jack posobiec
Good work.
I'm just hosting the show here.
That's awesome.
Good.
Good.
Absolutely.
Keep doing it.
Use power.
Always use power.
Couldn't disagree.
Couldn't agree more with that.
Andrew, you look like you have lost weight.
Great job.
Not one step back.
andrew wilson
Not one step back, man.
jack posobiec
Love that.
Andrew Schauer is writing promo code Tane.
I don't know who that is.
I'm sorry.
I just can't say that.
Wyatt Keldenberg.
andrew wilson
Is it Tenet?
jack posobiec
Could be.
Could be.
Rep. Kurt Walden's daughter was threatened by the FBI.
They ordered him to stop investigating the FBI and Saudi San Diego connection with 9-11.
Also, they did the same to the co-chair of the 9-11 committee.
Wyatt, not only do I already know about that, I can confirm that because I was there in 2006 as an intern for Kurt Weldon's campaign when they raided us over these claims about his daughter being connected to Russia.
It was never substantiated.
It was never actually charged, but instead they did so several weeks before the election in order to swing the election to the Democrat, Joe Sestak, in a you know, in a very tight race.
He went on to be completely disgraced, but Kurt Weldon was somebody who absolutely called out the truth about what the U.S. knew about 9-11 and the hijackers prior to the thing actually happening.
And yeah, I was right there working on the campaign, and it was 2006.
And I remember the raid.
I was not there when the raid happened.
I just physically wasn't there that day, but I remember coming in like that afternoon.
And it was like, so.
tate brown
How does it work?
jack posobiec
It's like super, it's like super early.
andrew wilson
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
jack posobiec
Oh, yeah.
They go through everything.
Oh, yeah.
tate brown
Oh, geez.
jack posobiec
Where it was nuts.
And they hit, and it wasn't just the offices that were hit.
It was the family.
It was his like personal home.
It was, it was all this.
And that was when Mueller was the FBI director.
And they had, he's been asking too many questions.
And so he just did an episode on Tucker, and everyone should go check that out.
And it's like, it's like, why is Pesobic the way that he is?
unidentified
It's like, well, you know, because of you.
jack posobiec
Because of you.
unidentified
All right.
jack posobiec
We got any more?
Do we have any Rumble Rants?
serge du preez
We got some over there.
I was looking for them.
jack posobiec
Some Robo Rants.
We have a lot, actually, tonight.
serge du preez
I just want to pop out.
Hold on.
We'll show up one of these.
jack posobiec
We got.
serge du preez
Yeah, I don't know.
jack posobiec
No, that's kind of the same one.
serge du preez
Yeah, I don't know.
Let's try and do this one.
jack posobiec
I want to see.
Wait, wait, wait.
Go back to that right there.
I want to see proof of life and not just support a coup on Tim Cast.
Tim, Tim, we need proof of life.
Phil, there was one comment I happened to see earlier where people were accusing you of possibly having Tim tied up in the basement.
unidentified
Can you, can you?
phil labonte
I wouldn't bring him to my house.
jack posobiec
Amazing, amazing.
unidentified
Closet.
jack posobiec
Tim Fool in the closet.
Yeah, no, no, no, no.
He's going to action now.
unidentified
Whoa, whoa, no, hey, no, no, no, no, you can cut that, right?
Don't say that.
shane cashman
Don't say that.
jack posobiec
Oh, man.
Now it's all over.
tate brown
It's over.
jack posobiec
Note it: all burnings occur when a foreign flag or terrorist flag is being shown.
So a lot of people talking about the flag burning.
A lot of questions about that.
andrew wilson
Yeah, it really makes people mad.
tate brown
Yeah, I know.
It's like they gaslight you're like, no, I am offended when people burn that flag.
It's okay to be offended every once in a while.
Like, I am kind of offended.
jack posobiec
Well, because it's offended.
andrew wilson
I feel like just more pissed off.
jack posobiec
I feel like you have to, you have to learn to get offended and that you have to learn to not turn those feelings off the way they're telling you to.
To say, oh, well, you shouldn't have that.
It's okay.
It's like that's the feminine response, right?
That's what we were talking about earlier about like the, you know, the empathetic, the fairness.
And it's like, no, that's, that's my flag.
tate brown
Yeah, it's like faux stoicism.
I'm like, no, I am, yeah, a little.
I'm triggered.
Yeah, it's true, actually.
jack posobiec
Yeah, actually, and actually, there are times where it's warranted and that this does, and we can use reason to reason that a response is warranted.
This should be against the law.
Does it make our country better?
Does it make our country greater?
Is a good example for children?
andrew wilson
Yes.
jack posobiec
Yeah, well, to arrest them, yes.
unidentified
Yes.
andrew wilson
To arrest them.
Yes.
jack posobiec
Someone right here.
unidentified
Yeah.
jack posobiec
Yeah.
With a super chat.
The flag isn't allowed to touch the ground.
Burning it is not free speech at all.
It's anti-country.
andrew wilson
Well, that's part of the flag code, I think, though.
jack posobiec
It is part of the flag.
andrew wilson
I think it's law, but I think it's part of the flag code.
It can't touch the ground.
jack posobiec
Right, it's part of the flag code.
And so the point is, like, why do we have all of this flag code if it's not backed up by anything?
Who cares?
You know, and I'll tell you, when I was in military, if you, you know, if you're on flag duty, oh my gosh, you know, you had to be the balls at the top of the flagpole there, they have like a razor blade and a map and a pistol or something in them.
You know, there's certain things that I just can't reveal while I'm on the show here like this.
But no, there's all sorts of things like that with flags, especially on the old ships.
They would have stuff like that, though.
andrew wilson
And it's like you take the razor blade, the map leads you to some spot with the pistol.
So you take the razor blade and then you cut up the map and then you use the pistol on yourself rather than let the flag fall in enemy hands or something.
tate brown
It's pretty based.
andrew wilson
Yeah.
Pretty based.
jack posobiec
Someone here says he is a who, well, he's a twice-deployed infantry combat vet who, you know, doesn't, you know, hates the U.S. flag.
So the U.S. flag is as degenerate as the as gross as the rainbow flag to me.
So that's something to put in.
So yeah, there's, there's definitely a lot.
And that's kind of what you're saying.
andrew wilson
I mean, he could also just be lying.
jack posobiec
He could also be lying.
andrew wilson
You know, he could just be like, well, I'm a two-tribe combat vet, special forces.
I went to Navy SEAL.
I went to WWAM4.
And, you know, like, he could just be full of shit.
By and large, now maybe he's not, but by and large, just what I've noted that most veterans seem to have some veneration towards the flag.
jack posobiec
Well, I mean, this is this is the flag that gets draped on your coffin when you pass away as a veteran, and then that flag gets folded up and handed to your spouse, right?
You know, and so it's, it's, you know, on behalf of a grateful nation.
And so if it doesn't matter, it does it not.
And I think that I think that if a nation exists and we know that nations exist and that their symbols should be protected and given, and yes, it is a it is an extra measure of protection because, you know, to the point of, well, if I would go buy a flag, can I just burn something that I own?
It's like, well, in certain instances, no, actually, you can't.
unidentified
Yeah, it's part of that like propositional nation crap that's all get arrested for domestic violence for breaking your own plate.
Yeah, like, you know, I don't want to hear this shit.
andrew wilson
You could, you literally, you could be arrested and get taken away for domestic violence for breaking your own PlayStation because you get upset.
Like, it's not a joke.
And so it's like, I don't want to hear any of it.
It's such bullshit.
jack posobiec
Yeah.
I mean, I keep hearing, you know, I do hear some people saying that, okay, so looking in the chat, some people talking about Trump needs to go against legal immigration.
He needs to fight harder against it.
andrew wilson
Agreed.
tate brown
55 million pieces.
jack posobiec
You know, I didn't like that.
There were 55 million pieces.
Tommy about the Chinese students.
phil labonte
600,000 Chinese.
jack posobiec
I didn't love that.
I didn't love that.
phil labonte
Unacceptable.
jack posobiec
Which, by the way, if you want to hurt the students.
andrew wilson
That's how we'll be doing it.
jack posobiec
You cut off on this.
You cut down on that because foreign students have to pay full freight.
They don't get in-state tuition and all this.
They have to pay full freight.
And so this is why they, you know, it comes from overseas.
It typically comes from Chinese elite, CCP elite.
And then you're getting them paying to the universities, which is a massive cash cow for them, these foreign students.
They love it.
And then, of course, when they come to our country, what do they do?
They're stealing research.
They're stealing so much.
And then they go back to their country by and large now.
So why are we subsidizing or allowing these educational institutions to have the elite, the next generation of the CCP's elite come to our schools?
tate brown
Yeah.
jack posobiec
Just doesn't make any sense at all.
tate brown
Yeah, there was this interesting thing people would bring up when they're talking about like Harvard and they'd be like, they're excluding Asian students.
And then it's a step that's even worse is the Asians that are there, majority of them aren't Asian Americans.
They're Chinese students that have come there.
So it's like, yeah, even at the highest level, it's like, it's way worse than you think.
jack posobiec
Well, and just back to your point of it, every time you're allowing a student at one of these institutions other than an American, you're taking a spot from an American kid.
tate brown
Broadly speaking, with immigration, too, it's like that's a house and a job and a public school and everything.
It's like someone's getting pushed out.
jack posobiec
We actually live in a finite world.
We actually live in a world that has finite resources.
We don't live in, I'm sorry that the 1960s lied to you, but what about my GDP?
Yeah, my GDP go up.
andrew wilson
GDP go up.
jack posobiec
Number go up.
More.
andrew wilson
All morality is cogwheel.
GDP go up.
jack posobiec
It's cogwheel.
andrew wilson
Cogwheel.
GDP go up.
That good.
jack posobiec
Blank, blank slate.
Tabula Rasa.
All people are same.
All people are same.
Everyone can get this.
I think we're pretty much winding down at this point.
Let's, Andrew?
One more.
serge du preez
One more.
unidentified
No, no, no.
jack posobiec
One more.
Sorry.
serge du preez
Right there.
jack posobiec
As a Tim Cast tradition.
unidentified
Yeah.
jack posobiec
I'm donating from the no way.
Oh my gosh.
phil labonte
Happens all the time.
jack posobiec
As is Tim Cast tradition, I'm donating from the delivery room holding my first son.
Greatest feeling in the world.
Have more babies.
unidentified
We are very pro-baby here at Tim Cast.
jack posobiec
I mean, I really hope someone wasn't listening to this while she was giving birth.
So does that mean that these conversations are the first thing that someone just talks about Cracker Barrel their entire life?
andrew wilson
It's got to be better than hearing, ah!
phil labonte
All right, you've got one.
Make more.
We had to make more babies.
Families are how we save America.
Make more babies.
unidentified
Yeah, true.
jack posobiec
That's wild.
We had like one of those planet Earth documentaries on it.
phil labonte
It happens most nights.
Like, honestly, most nights, most nights of the week, we'll get someone that says, hey, I'm here.
Just carrying on the tradition.
Tim sent one in when his daughter was.
andrew wilson
I don't have that tradition, but I get a lot of people who say, just had my first baby last night, things like that.
I'm always happy to hear that.
jack posobiec
I mean, it's a numbers game.
It's a numbers game at the end of the day.
Okay, now we're going around.
andrew wilson

andrew wilson
One more thing to shout out that I forgot about.
Sorry.
It's super important, though.

The members chat will begin in just a few minutes.
unidentified
Nice.
I
phil labonte
thought you didn't shy away from this new dog.
jack posobiec
Why would I?
That was hilarious.
Why would I?
They're saying I didn't shy away from the Snoop Dogg voice.
serge du preez
Yeah, it was good.
jack posobiec
What?
Like, I mean, I didn't go over, you know, I didn't overdo it, you know.
No, you just kind of like...
serge du preez
It was tasteful.
Yeah.
jack posobiec
Yeah, you do it tasteful, but you know, I did see Snoop, though, so I feel like I'm on the level now, at least a little bit.
You know, more than I was, you know, prior to then, I don't know if I would have attempted it.
I wouldn't have, I wouldn't have given it to the old college try prior to that.
But now.
serge du preez
I mean, is it because he's on your side now politically?
jack posobiec
He's on my side.
Yes, we're friends now.
He's giving me one of those, going to those cards, you know, to do the voice, that is, to do the voice, nothing else.
serge du preez
Oh, man.
Yeah, as you can see, everyone else is coming back in the chat.
jack posobiec
How does this work?
serge du preez
Basically, we go to the story.
You introduce the story that you see on your right here, and then the whole chat will learn about it, or the whole show will learn about it.
jack posobiec
Oh, I should have mentioned, I forgot I had the map behind me.
I should have shouted that out.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
serge du preez
Meet you right now.
We're live on Roblox now.
jack posobiec
The map's available, guys.
The Trump map.
Go and get your Trump map.
I designed this map, which is right behind me.
You can see it here somewhere behind my thumb, which is the Trump map.
And it's got all of the great stuff on it.
It's got Gitmo.
It's got a little bit of SpaceX.
It's got Mount Rushmore.
It has got the wall.
serge du preez
Oh, God, I'm so banned.
jack posobiec
The Gulf.
serge du preez
These rappers are so loud.
jack posobiec
America.
The worst.
I've got some nullablars as well.
They're actually really good.
serge du preez
They're really good.
They're really good.
phil labonte
The rappers are terrible, though.
jack posobiec
Their rappers.
serge du preez
They're way too loud.
jack posobiec
Well, I don't need them on air.
But I did eat one on Air Force One recently.
unidentified
So really?
tate brown
Is Greenland still a possibility?
I haven't heard about it in a while.
jack posobiec
Yeah, Greenland is something we need to put a little bit more meme energy into.
tate brown
I agree.
jack posobiec
People live there.
It's something that had a lot of momentum at one point, and then it got kind of pushed down just due to a lot of this other stuff.
But again, long-term investments.
We need the long-term investments.
tate brown
Yeah, real.
unidentified
I'd love to do it.
jack posobiec
We have a story, but I want to dig into the story without Andrew being here because I think it's going to be good.
So what do we do?
Can we read it?
serge du preez
We can introduce this or we can just go into it.
unidentified
No, no, no, no.
jack posobiec
I want to get into it with Andrew's here.
He'll be back in a second.
serge du preez
We can talk about Greenland for a second.
jack posobiec
No, Greenland.
See, what's interesting about Greenland is that I think everybody just sort of inherently knows that it would be a red state.
And it's also one of those things, too, where if someone's a real, like, if you're a real MAGA, whatever, you know, MAGA Republican, as opposed to just like an old school one, you know that Greenland is such a good idea.
tate brown
That's a great idea.
Because it would get flooded with like mineral guys right away and it would flip it bright red.
serge du preez
True.
tate brown
Because, yeah, I mean, there was a little concern was like when they would ask the Inuit people there, they'd be like, oh, we just hate the Danish.
So it's like an anti-white thing for them.
But I'm like, that's not a problem.
We'll flood it with Texans.
It'll be great.
jack posobiec
It would go.
tate brown
Yeah.
We'll rename Nook to something like more American.
jack posobiec
Yeah, it's a little bit.
tate brown
Too many consonants and vowels going on.
serge du preez
Like Franklin.
tate brown
Yeah, like Franklin.
jack posobiec
That's a nice Nook.
All right, we got to get all right.
Andrew's here.
So we got to get into this story because this was one that was going absolutely crazy online because someone was going absolutely crazy in real life.
A wrestler was brutally beaten by Rampage Jackson's son.
Quote, no one is going to consent to broken bones.
No, actually, the picture that's there, that's Rampage.
serge du preez
I didn't like that.
jack posobiec
You know, who is an MMA champ, which he's the famous one.
Yeah, he's more famous.
Not anymore.
Do we have the video?
Do we have the actual video?
serge du preez
I don't have the video.
I don't know if we should.
I mean, we should show it on Rumble.
jack posobiec
I mean, we're on Rumble now.
That's what I was thinking about earlier because this is so brutal.
serge du preez
It's Quinton, right?
jack posobiec
That's no, well, the son is Raja.
serge du preez
Oh, Raja.
Oh, okay.
jack posobiec
Yeah, the son is Raja.
serge du preez
Quint is Jackson.
jack posobiec
So the fact is, you know, the reason that it was, I mean, the beatdown is horrific.
But what's crazy about it, and I have some notes about this that somebody texted me that I'm trying to pull up here.
The beatdown was just so insane.
It's brutal, bro.
That, I mean, it was going crazy viral.
And I think it would have gone viral even if it hadn't been his son.
I think that for sure.
unidentified
Hardly anything to do with it.
serge du preez
I'll pull the chat right now.
I'm trying to find a good video, which I couldn't, I couldn't look anywhere else but see that video last night, it seemed.
Let's see here.
jack posobiec
I mean, I saw that video so many times.
It was crazy.
tate brown
Yeah, Sam retweeted it somewhat recently.
serge du preez
Did he, really?
phil labonte
Yeah.
Just go to X and put in Roger Jackson.
serge du preez
Yeah, I just want to bring up X for some reason.
Just go to X.com, I guess.
I don't know why.
It seems crazy.
Did you retweet it at all, Phil?
phil labonte
No, I didn't.
tate brown
My apple's glitching, so I might be down.
serge du preez
Just Tim, let's see if I can go to.
I don't like looking on this because it's Tim's literal page.
So it's like, oh man, okay, let's just look it up on the search.
Roger Jackson.
phil labonte
It's R-A-J-A, right?
serge du preez
Yeah, I believe so.
Sure, we'll find it here in a second.
phil labonte
That's crazy when you put in Roger Jackson.
He doesn't even comp at all.
jack posobiec
Are they suppressing it now?
serge du preez
No, they're like, there's the pics.
Here's the.
We'll just show the scale.
unidentified
Yeah.
Bro, that is wrong.
serge du preez
Copyright, but he's out.
jack posobiec
So you can see the other wrestlers trying to get in there.
serge du preez
That dude just keeps going.
This guy should have been really like failing.
This guy right here is a ref is completely failing at his job.
phil labonte
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
The ref should have put his face.
The guy Rajing the guy on the ground.
andrew wilson
But this is all Kfabe, right?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I know.
I know this isn't, but wrestling is Kayfabe.
phil labonte
Yeah.
serge du preez
Yeah.
andrew wilson
So is it, does it stand to reason that the ref here may think that this is like he might not realize that?
serge du preez
But he like ran.
I believe like in this clip, you see that he like ran on, and that was the part that knocked him out right here.
If in case anyone's, yeah, that knocked him out completely.
jack posobiec
So we hit him way.
And you can look at the guy in the background, actually.
There's a guy in the background.
Like you can see him right away.
He knows that something's wrong.
Like, what are you doing?
phil labonte
This is not.
The ref has seen enough matches or should have seen enough matches to know that that was real.
serge du preez
What's crazy is, look, this guy keeps pushing people off and still attempting to go pet attack him more, which is insane.
jack posobiec
So, so if I remember correctly, from what I've seen, is that this was a setup angle where obviously they were feuding and he had thrown a you know a beer bottle at him or something earlier, but it was a prop.
Yeah, it was a prop bottle, and you know, it's pro wrestling.
We know that there's feuds, but it's you know, it's it's it's scripted, it is it is worked out in advance, and that you know, to add more to the uh, you know, add more to the what's in the ring.
And if I one of the things that I was hearing is that apparently, this um this wrestling promotion was one that they were really that WWE was actually really looking at for uh getting in indie talent.
And there is some like behind-the-scenes uh connective tissue between them and MME or WWE.
And so, one of the issues is that you know, you really did have people who probably should have known better when you were dealing with you know these types of uh people and in in terms of like okay, here's this guy, Raja, who you know has this MMA background, he's like a real fighter, but you know, you're putting him in with guys who are you know, they're they're trained in the middle of this with celebs all the time, right?
andrew wilson
Like uh wrestling federations and whatnot.
phil labonte
They they have that's how Trump got into the WWE.
andrew wilson
Yeah, they have celebrity guests.
Trump has been in the ring, you know, like pile driving a guy before, you know what I mean?
jack posobiec
They got Stone Cold stunnered, yeah.
andrew wilson
They like they do this all the time, so I'm not sure that I would really hold it against them that they had this, you know, kind of minor celebrity on to promote whatever the match was, and then they promote the drama.
There was a video, there's also a video which is a message.
jack posobiec
Wait, wait, there's that, there it is there.
unidentified
This is the starting point, and it's a prop.
That was easy, easy, easy.
He's not a fucking worker, bro.
Come on, yeah.
What the fuck was that?
serge du preez
You hear him say he's not a worker.
unidentified
He's not a fucking bro.
What the fuck was that?
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
I don't play that shit, bro.
No, I will fuck up.
I know, I know, we're good, we're good.
I will fuck him up, bro.
People are saying it's like his chat that pushed me to this, too.
serge du preez
So it doesn't excuse me.
unidentified
No, I will fuck him up.
serge du preez
It's because of this incident.
unidentified
I feel like he felt like I did not play that shit at all.
jack posobiec
Yeah, so worker in this context means like a wrestler.
That's what they kind of call each other.
unidentified
Workers.
serge du preez
And he didn't realize that.
He apologizes.
I said something like that after that.
unidentified
Hey, I think such a bizarre environment.
tate brown
It looks like Bourbon Street.
serge du preez
I don't know if it was real or not.
I'm pretty sure that's a real one.
jack posobiec
I mean, that's wrestling, right?
That's like a wrestling promotion.
tate brown
Yeah, for me, just hanging out.
andrew wilson
I don't think so.
I thought I had heard that that was actually a prop that just had some air in it.
serge du preez
Yeah, the way the way that it, if you like, watch again, the way that it deflates so fast.
andrew wilson
That stuff doesn't look like it was painful at all.
serge du preez
That was a problem.
unidentified
He's not a fucking.
serge du preez
He's like squaring at the other guy there.
andrew wilson
But there's another video.
He's talking discussing it, right?
Isn't there another video where they're discussing it?
serge du preez
Yeah, there is.
I thought this was part of your life.
andrew wilson
And he basically apologizes and they say, oh, we're good.
He was like, hey, man, you know, I didn't really know.
I thought we were doing the.
serge du preez
Yeah, there's something like that.
That's what happened right there at the end of this, though.
Like, he says he's sorry.
unidentified
No, I will fuck him up.
serge du preez
I know what you're talking about.
They're sitting down.
andrew wilson
Yeah, they're sitting down and talking.
serge du preez
This is crazier is like the videos afterwards.
unidentified
Like, bro, real shit.
serge du preez
One of them looks probably seen this.
I don't know.
unidentified
Everybody fucking play with me and shit.
jack posobiec
I'm always playing and shit.
unidentified
Call me bits and shit.
No fucking bits, bro.
jack posobiec
Wait, wait, pause.
Look at the comment here.
This is interesting.
Raja Jackson and his actions are the epitome of fragile masculinity and how young men are being taught to act with aggression above all.
andrew wilson
It's ridiculous.
jack posobiec
Violence is not what makes a man, and every grown man who teaches their son that is shameful.
And then the first comment under that, raised by women.
andrew wilson
Yeah.
The thing is, we've seen this type, well, maybe not to this degree usually, but we've seen this type of crash out happen from streamers before on the kick side, Twitch, things like this, where their chat literally drives them crazy, right?
They call them low cows for a reason.
And you're going in and milking them, right?
That's the whole point.
We're going to milk the content.
And so they'll find pressure points and then they'll hit those pressure points.
And the idea is to make the person lose their shit.
And the chat was kind of aggressively going after him before this confrontation, telling him, How could you let that guy do that to you?
You're a bitch.
You're a piece of shit poser.
You know what I mean?
You ain't nobody.
jack posobiec
Oh, wow.
andrew wilson
And essentially egging him on.
And so when the confrontation actually happens, he lost it, right?
He's trying to prove all these guys wrong.
He's going to show them.
And they got exactly what they wanted.
jack posobiec
He's got up to his dad's reputation.
andrew wilson
And they got him exactly how they wanted him, which was to lose it and get in serious and significant trouble.
There's a lot of people who are laughing tonight, online trolls, who orchestrated this essentially, and this idiot fell for it.
And he's going to go to jail for a long time, and he deserves to.
unidentified
Yeah.
serge du preez
I guess we can go to callers now.
unidentified
Yeah.
jack posobiec
And by the way, I would agree that, you know, with you, the LA Times, I don't know exactly who the LA Times was quoting when we had that up earlier, but saying, like, you know, should he face charges?
Of course, he should.
andrew wilson
Of course.
jack posobiec
There's no question.
You can't consent to broken bones.
That's exactly right.
You know, anything that he agreed to in terms of, you know, hey, we're going to be in this together.
We're going to, we're going to, you know, nobody agreed.
