tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Ladies and gentlemen, let me ask you, what does it tell us when someone brings 200 handmade explosives to a mass that Supreme Court justices were expected to attend?
		That's not a coincidence.
		That's not mental health gone awry.
		That's a message.
		That's a threat.
		And that's a provocation.
		We had this massive story breaking today.
		A 41-year-old man, Louis Geary of New Jersey, set up a tent on the steps of the St. Matthew's Cathedral in D.C. on Sunday, just out of the Red Mass.
		It's this annual service that's traditionally attended by members of the judiciary.
		And when he was approached by police, he threatened to detonate his devices.
		He reportedly carried vials of nitromethane.
		He had device parts, modified bottle rockets, thermite treatments.
		I mean, like tons, tons.
		He had a whole trench coat full of just contraband.
		But he issued threats.
		He said, stay back.
		I have explosives.
		And because of this, none of the justices attended the mass this year.
		This is not just a bomb threat.
		This is politics in 2025.
		I mean, I sound like a broken record at this point, but really, it's an attempt to destroy the institutions that underpin our republic.
		And in this case, the judiciary.
		But in other cases, Christianity, public life itself.
		And, you know, the media, the response to this has just been that this Geary guy, Louis Geary, just some crazy guy, mental health crisis, et cetera, et cetera.
		But whether or not he was sane in the clinical sense is really besides the point.
		What matters here is the intent, the symbolism, the message.
		It's an attack on the very notion that faith and justice and order are like relevant to American life.
		That's what's under attack here.
		Look, the message that the left is communicating through these attacks that we've seen over the last few weeks has been very clear.
		It's that it's much deeper than just individuals, right?
		These acts of political violence from the left in recent weeks are very particular and very calculated.
		I mean, these attacks are concentrated on the two things that stand between the left and total victory.
		The terms for victory for the left being like total remapping of the human being.
		They want to exterminate any opposition to the theory of the blank slate.
		Connor Tomlinson talks about this extensively, and it's so true.
		They're attacking like the last roadblocks for their revolution, which is attacking the American people.
		And I'm not talking about some like vague description of Americans who are under attack for their dedication to freedom and liberty.
		I'm talking about a distinct people, a distinct nation, a people with a shared history, origin, and culture, just like JD Vance spoke about at NATCON, I think, last year.
		People that aren't interchangeable with another group of people.
		That's who they're attacking.
		They're not attacking, you know, paperwork Americans or this like, you know, description of Americans that you would see in like a community college pamphlet.
		They're attacking Americans who have a distinct claim and a distinct attachment to this country, to this land.
		That's what America really is, ultimately.
		It's a people and the land that the people live on.
		And obviously those Americans can't exist outside of the context of that land.
		So I digress.
		They are attacking the people of America and they're attacking our faith, Christianity, which is abundantly obvious here.
		But if you don't believe me that these attacks are attacks on the American people, like the distinct American people, I got to ask, why is ICE specifically being targeted with a lot of these attacks?
		Why are ICE buildings the ones that are being seized in these Democrat cities or sieged, rather?
		Why is ICE on the receiving end of virtually like every bit of violent graffiti that you'll see, you know, tagged on a garbage can?
		Why is it that ICE, the ICE facility, was the one that was peppered with bullets in Dallas last week?
		ICE is being targeted specifically.
		Out of all the three-letter agencies that exist and all the three-letter agencies that Democrats complain about, ICE is being targeted specifically because it is ICE who defends our borders.
		So, hang on, I got to flip this light on.
		There we go.
		But it is ICE who enforces our borders.
		It is ICE who can carry out the will of the American people to prioritize those who have stake in the country.
		That is why ICE specifically is being targeted.
		They're not being targeted because they think they're too cruel or whatever.
		There's plenty of government agencies that are in the Trump admin that the left has an axe to grind with.
		I mean, they think that the HHS is getting children killed for vaccines.
		When's the last time you saw an attack on HHS, right?
		Any sort of violent, when's the last time you saw a spray paint on the side of a building saying down with RFK or some sort of violent rhetoric against some health official?
		That doesn't happen.
	The media will say, oh, he's putting all these children at risk.
	He's getting people killed over his, you know, cutting regulation or adding regulation in or going after big pharma, these sorts of things.
	But it's never HHS that's targeted or any of these other three-letter agencies.
	It is specifically ICE that is targeted, that is on the receiving end of all that vitriol.
	And I'll say it again: it's like I just said, ICE is on the receiving end of all of this because they are the ones who defend the sovereignty of the United States and defend the interests of the American nation, the historic American nation that descends all the way to the Mayflower and before that to the Magna Carta.
	I digress.
	And then in this instance that we saw here, and we saw it in Minneapolis and we saw it in Nashville, churches are under attack because Christianity is the last force in American life that will tell the left no.
	And there's no way around that because the Bible is very explicit on a lot of issues that they want to overturn, specifically in relating to sexuality.
	They can't handle this.
	The Bible is very explicitly clear.
	There's some churches out there that try to play it fast and loose with sexuality.
	They exist, but they'll be the first ones to tell you that they have problems with Paul's letters, these sorts of things.
	But churches specifically are seen as this like this patriarch for the left, as this oppressive father figure, because like I said, Christianity tells you no.
	Christianity tells you, ah, that's not good.
	That's going to destroy you.
	Don't put your hand on the hot stovetop.
	That's the function Christianity has in American life.
	It regulates human behavior and it prevents, it's a preventative measure against corrosion to the human soul.
	And that's why they attack it.
	That's why they hate it.
	That's why the cross does something specific to them.
	That's why it's so damaging.
	Because if you're a transgender individual, no, I should be able to deny how God made me and I should be able to recreate myself in my own image instead of the image that God, you know, gave me, so to speak.
	So that's why these two bastions specifically are under a total attack from the left.
	And yeah, it's really, really grim stuff.
	So with that, opening monologue.
	I do want to get into our stories here, our main stories.
	We have a big show today.
	We had a lot going on.
	We had this obviously this leftist maniac getting busted in DC, trying to blow up the Supreme Court.
	Insanity, insanity.
	We also have James Comey getting run through the court.
	Very exciting, obviously.
	We all wanted to see that.
	It's heating up in Chicago.
	Trump said Pritzker and Johnson should be arrested.
	That's pretty based.
	And we have a story.
	If we have time, we'll get to it.
	An H-1B scandal involving a FedEx.
	It's getting pretty wacky and wild out there.
	But with that, first I want to address our fantastic sponsors.
	We have Casper Coffee.
	This is excellent, excellent stuff here.
	Dude, big fan, big fan of Casper.
	Obviously, I'm a big fan.
	I work here.
	Appalachian Knights is my go-to.
	It's been my go-to for some time now.
	It's fantastic stuff.
	But I really, this is really where it gets exciting.
	I mean, Ian's Graphene Dream.
	Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Since, you know, it's the hot ticket.
	Everyone loves Ian's Graphene Dream.
	Mary's Ghost Blund.
	This is just dropped.
	This is fresh off the press.
	This is really, really exciting stuff.
	Mary's Ghost Blend.
	The bag is pretty wild.
	There's a lot going on there.
	So yeah, I'd recommend just getting a bag and taking a closer look.
	This is really investigate what's going on here.
	I don't really know how to break that down.
	The eyes are scary.
	I'll put it that way.
	I mean, I guess Halloween's coming up, so it makes sense, but I'm very nervous looking at this.
	Very scary stuff.
	But yeah, head on over to Casper, get you some coffee.
	It's really great stuff.
	And we also have Boonies.
	We love Boonies, don't we, folks?
	This is really great stuff.
	They've revamped the store.
	I haven't been clued in on this because Boonies does, they're their own operation.
	There's some new, there's some new swag on the store.
	Either it's new swag, they've reoriented.
	They've adjusted the store page.
	There's some new, looks like some new stuff on here.
	Obviously, some of the classics, the boards here.
	We have the 28th Amendment board, the right to bear chickens, if you're into that kind of thing.
	We have the Be Gay Board, and then here's the Don't Be Gay Board, the Declaration of Independence Board.
	There's a lot going on.
	There's a lot of really exciting stuff.
	So yeah, head on over to shop.boonieshq.com.
	And with that, I'm going to get into the story that I was discussing.
	Lefty Maniac threatens to detonate a tent filled with 200 explosives outside of DC Church, hosting Supreme Court justices.
	The New York Post, they have some great adjectives that they use for these.
	Obviously, this is a really grim story because if he succeeded in his mission, we would be living in a vastly different timeline right now.
	But they just use these like really off-the-wall hatches.
	Lefty maniac.
	It's just funny.
	A hate-filled New Jersey man.
	I mean, it's true.
	Don't get me wrong.
	It's very true.
	That is what he is.
	But it's just, and it's such an official publication.
	It's really funny to read that.
	And again, it's true.
	But I'll read here, as I was discussing earlier.
	New Jersey man arrested before the Red Mats in Washington, D.C., had at least 200 explosives and tent outside and a notebook declaring hatred for ICE.
	And the Supreme Court justices were due to arrive to the Catholic Church.
	New court documents show.
	So like I was saying earlier, there's a reason they hate ICE so much.
	It's because it's the last thing standing between them and destruction of the American people.
	With that, Louis Geary, 41, had pitched a tent on the steps of the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, which, by the way, the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, ask any Catholic in D.C.
	This is a very like lib church.
	So it's even if you're like one of these churches that's super lib, you think that protects you, it won't.
	Like there's no way to protect yourself.
	They view Christianity as a threat.
	They don't really care, you know, what the specifics of theology is.
	This is like a very, very liberal church.
	Like I got, I was just looking through their website before the show.
	This was from their last like homily on migrants and refugees.
	As a church, we must console and peacefully stand in solidarity with the undocumented women, men and women whose lives are being upended by the government's campaign of fear and terror.
	So even like painting the blood of liberalism over the doorpost still doesn't protect you from being attacked because you're ultimately you have a cross somewhere on your premises and that's going to attract these demonic individuals.
	It's going to mark you for death because they view having faith in Christ as means as grounds for your killing.
	That's just how it is.
	But with that, on the steps of the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, and allegedly told cops who approached him, you might want to stay back and call the Federales.
	I have explosives.
	This was according to the Washington Post.
	During attempted negotiations with officers, he allegedly handed them a notebook in which he espoused hatred for the Catholic Church, Supreme Court justices, Jews, and U.S. ICE immigration and customs enforcement, ICE, according to the document.
	The cathedral was preparing to celebrate its annual Red Mass, which marks the beginning of the Supreme Court's term when police discovered handmade explosives inside of Geary's green tent on the property.
	And yeah, so several SCOTIS justices typically attend the service, but stayed away as a security threat unfolded according to the Catholic Standard, the official newspaper of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington.
	And they called the bomb squad on Geary, who refused to leave the tent and continued to tell cops he had bombs.
	He was going crazy.
	And yeah, it's really, really grim stuff.
	I'm very thankful to the Metropolitan Police Department that they were able to de-escalate the situation.
	Because, I mean, this is just a really, really petrifying, petrifying situation.
	Yeah, the political situation in this country is getting out of control.
	It is getting out of control.
	And we emphasize this on the show over and over again to the point where I think we're losing sight of how bad things have really gotten.
	I mean, this was last week where with ICE being targeted specifically, Katie Daviscorp, street journalist, was chased down and whacked in the face and face got busted up.
	And the Portland police just kind of stood down.
	They refused to detain the official as she was pursuing him.
	So ICE Church, etc., like the environment we're in is an environment of political violence.
	There's no question about it.
	Again, I sound like a broken record because this has been hit ad nauseum.
	But they're attacking every vector of American life the left is.
	And this is why, you know, I know it takes a while to reorient the intelligence community.
	Obviously, the intelligence community, which, you know, your three-letter agencies, these sorts of things, have been persecuting right-wingers for the longest time.
	So I understand it takes a while.
	It takes a bit of time to sort of reorient all that to focus on these leftists.
	But yeah, when you see stories like this, when you see stories of a guy just in a tent that could almost cleaned out our Supreme Court, I mean, the crackdown really, we need more.
	We really do.
	We need more.
	We need like a Patriot Act 2.0 to investigate what is going on because this is just untenable.
	We can't live like this.
	We really cannot live like this.
	So we're going to discuss this more later.
	I'm bringing in Richie McGinnis, the great Richie McGinnis, and he's going to really break down more of sort of the intricacies of leftist violence and perhaps what some vectors the IC has at their disposal to infiltrate and sort of break up and prevent these sorts of attacks from happening.
	But yeah, regardless, it's getting crazy, folks.
	It's getting crazy.
	But with that, I want to get into this next story.
	This was this morning.
	James, this is from CNBC.
	James Comey pleads not guilty to charges sought by Trump trial set for January 5th.
	So as we heard yesterday, Comey was arraigned today on criminal charges.
	And he pled not guilty.
	I mean, I think we all expected this.
	Nothing really was unusual today.
	Comey's trial was set on January 5th.
	It is somewhat quick.
	It's a little quicker than I think people anticipated.
	And his plea was obviously his first appearance in the case, where he's accused of making a false statement and an obstruction of a congressional proceeding during testimony to a Senate committee in 2020.
	So these two charges, there were three charges sought by prosecutors for this grand jury.
	It was in Arlington or Alexandria, I think it was in Arlington.
	Alexandria, this is an Alexandria, they're right next to each other.
	Two of the charges he was indicted for and he was arraigned for, which was, yeah, the false statement and the obstruction of congressional proceeding during a testimony to a senate.
	He lied to Congress.
	That's what the charge is.
	Comey was arraigned, where his defense attorney, Patrick Fitzgerald, said that Comey wanted a jury trial.
	Two federal prosecutors from North Carolina have been assigned to handle Comey's case, which is seen as a sign that Lindsay Halligan, the interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, had difficulty getting prosecutors in her own office to work on the case.
	There was some different reporting going on why this was happening, why we were having to bring federal prosecutors from North Carolina.
	There was kind of two reasons given.
	The first was there was a lack of interest in the Eastern District and broadly in Virginia.
	I think a lot of these prosecutors were afraid that maybe these charges wouldn't stick.
	They would have a tough time in court.
	And the other one was personnel issues.
	I just think they don't have as much numbers as they need in these prosecuting offices.
	That was another reason that was given.
	Regardless, we're bringing in the Calvary from North Carolina.
	This is going to be a tricky one.
	Halligan, Lindsay Halligan, has never prosecuted a case at this level before.
	She was put into the job.
	You hear what it says right here.
	Trump shortly after her predecessor, Eric Seibert, resigned under pressure from Trump following his reported reluctance to seek a grand jury indictment of Comey.
	So Halligan's new to the job, and she doesn't really have much prosecuting experience.
	So this is going to be a tricky one.
	And this is Comey's lawyer, Patrick Fitzgerald.
	This guy is kind of like, he's kind of an all-star.
	He really is.
	I mean, he has quite the extensive history here.
	He participated in prosecutions of Bin Laden, a few other terrorists when he was part of the crime terrorism unit.
	Led prosecution and conviction of Dick Cheney's chief of staff, Scooter Libby.
	And as a federal prosecutor, he led a number of high-profile investigations.
	I mean, this guy is really, this guy's been around the block.
	He's been around the block, and he's had a relationship with James Comey for a while now.
	So, look, Comey's feeling confident.
	I think that's why he wanted this.
	He wants a trial.
	He said in his video, let's have a trial.
	And yeah, I think what's so shocking is with Comey, when they arraigned him, everyone was thinking, like, oh, there's going to be a perp walk.
	Like, this is going to kind of be red meat for the base.
	You know, we're going to get to see Comey sort of brought because this is the villain of Trump, and he is a villain of Trump.
	He gave Trump, in a lot of ways, gave Trump a lot of issues that did derail the first term in a lot of ways because of just the Russia Gate hoax.
	It was just ridiculous crap that Comey, under direction from Hillary Clinton, was targeting Trump over and over again with all this just legal lawfare.
	And so, yeah, there is, you know, people are saying, oh, well, this is clearly political.
	Yeah, most indictments are political.
	That's just kind of how this works.
	Like, yeah, but James Comey did lie to Congress.
	There's no question about it.
	And that's why we're going to have a trial and we'll see.
	I mean, it's really up to the judge to decide and the jury.
	But yeah, with that, it is wild that he was arraigned.
	We weren't given a perp walk.
	He was slipped in through the back door.
	And you just contrast that.
	I mean, Roger Stone put this up not too long ago.
	James Comey and I were charged with the exact same crimes.
	Why did 29 heavily armed FBI agents storm my home at 6 a.m. to arrest me after tipping off CNN while James Comey still had not voluntarily surrendered for his arrest and has until October 9th to do so.
	So like, yeah, the treatment from the Democrats when they're in charge, when they persecute right-wingers, it's night and day.
	They go for all the theatrics.
	They go for all the pomp and circumstance, really make it as embarrassing as possible.
	I mean, we saw this with Trump.
	You know, there's so many videos of him arriving to the courthouse in New York.
	There's, you know, all these photos of him inside of the courthouse in Manhattan when he was arraigned.
	It was just this very embarrassing perp walk.
	They put his photos everywhere.
	Obviously, they intended for it to be embarrassing.
	It was actually kind of cool.
	Like Trump, you know, because Trump has insane aura.
	It actually turned out to be kind of cool.
	And obviously the famous mug shot.
	We're not getting that with Comey for a variety of reasons.
	But yeah, A, is just because there's just right-wingers and left-wingers are treated differently in this country.
	Usually no surprises there.
	So yeah, we're going to get to this next story here from the Chicago Tribune.
	Governor J.B. Pritzker says, President Trump deploying troops to Chicago due to dementia and obsessive fixations.
	This is a man who's suffering dementia, Pritzker said in a telephone interview with the Tribune.
	This is a man who has something stuck in his head.
	He can't get it out of his head.
	He doesn't read.
	He doesn't know anything that's up to date.
	It is just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities.
	Well, the reason he's calling out these cities is because you're the governor of Illinois and Chicago is in Illinois.
	And we kind of all know what goes on in Chicago.
	Trump responded, Chicago mayor should be in jail for failing to protect ICE officers.
	Governor Pritzker also.
	It was on Truth Social.
	It was this morning.
	It's so true.
	Look, Chicago is a complete disaster.
	I mean, I can't believe we keep having to come up with new ways to explain this to the left because they just come out with these ridiculous articles.
	Like this is from The Guardian.
	Trump's claim Chicago is the world's most dangerous city.
	The four most violent ones are all in red states.
	Like they just come up with all these ways to explain away how bad Chicago is.
	Jackson, Birmingham, St. Louis, and Memphis had the highest murder rates of 2024.
	Don't look up what those cities have in common.
	It's either here nor there.
	This is from Kash Patel.
	This is not this long ago.
	We got the clip here.
	Take a look at this shocking revelation of what specifically is going on in Chicago.
kash patel ▲ ● ▼		Taking the juggernaut that is demolishing the weaponization of law enforcement and bringing it to places like Chicago.
		When I was there today with Todd, we learned that the Chicago city streets have 110,000 gang members.
		That's right.
		You heard me right.
		They had 1,200 shootings this year alone, 360 homicides.
		When politicians choose to side with those metrics and not their citizenry, thank God we have President Trump and this Department of Justice and this FBI going in there and crushing violent crime.
		And President Trump sent us into these cities quietly to set the stage, to set up for the National Guard, to see the success that we saw in Washington, D.C., in Memphis.
		The FBI has been leading the charge in every single one of these streets because we know how to gather ground-level intelligence and we know how to put handcuffs on the bad guys and we know that we have the backing of this administration and most importantly, the agents at the FBI know that they have the backing of the American people and their government.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, so I mean, as Patel outlined, specifically the homicide rate in Chicago is absolutely insane.
		This is one of my favorite maps.
		This is obviously data.
		It's a few years old.
		It's from 2021, I believe.
		This was before Redditors decided that Chicago was actually this perfect utopian society that Trump was disrupting.
		Here's a map of countries with a lower annual homicide total than Chicago in the last 12 months, 795 murders.
		Every country in blue is safer.
		The entire country has less homicides than the single city of Chicago.
		There's a lot of blue on this map.
		There's a lot of blue.
		Like Germany, for example, Germany here, the entire country of Germany had less homicides in the last 12 months than Chicago, the city of Chicago.
		I don't know if you're much of a math lead here, but Chicago, 2.7 million people.
		Germany, 83 million people.
		So a country of 83 million people had less homicides in a year than the city of Chicago.
		But no, Trump is this is crazy.
		Like, why is he, why is he using a slight bit of hyperbole to describe how dangerous the city of Chicago is?
		Not to mention Illinois itself is just a complete disaster.
		This is from illinoipolicy.org.
		Every nine minutes and 21 seconds, Illinois loses another resident.
		This is just insane.
		And so Pritzker was, this is right here.
		Pritzker misconstrued this data to suggest that Illinois had finally bucked its near decade-long trend of population decline.
		So he was speaking and he was saying, oh, well, Chicago grew according to census data.
		Or sorry, Illinois grew due to census data.
		Like this is, we're finally turning things around.
		Well, if you break down the data from the Census Bureau, yes, the population went up by 67,000, but 112,000 of those were international migration, while 56,000 people left.
		56,000 Illinois left.
		And many of those are my family.
		My family hails from Illinois.
		I'm one of the few in my family that wasn't born in Illinois.
		It's a very sad thing that everyone, all the patriots were driven out.
		So it's like, okay, you can't really stat pad when you're just like, you know, flooding your state with foreigners.
		Yeah, people are pouring out and it's taxes mainly.
		I mean, that's the big reason, if you ask anybody in Illinois.
		This is from governing.com.
		Illinois is the nation's biggest loser of younger population.
		The state is seeing a larger decline in residents 18 and younger than any other state.
		It is also getting older and seeing losses in its working age population.
		It's a complete disaster.
		This was, here's a quote from the article.
		Not only is like the young population declining, he said, not only that, we're losing our wealthy people and we're gaining very poor people.
		And from a tax-based perspective and from a workforce perspective and from a productivity perspective, it is very dangerous for Illinois.
		So yeah, so you're getting demographic, you're getting all the workshops.
		You're getting demographic replacement.
		Your country's getting poorer or your state's getting poorer.
		You're losing like companies.
		I mean, it's just a complete disaster.
		So with that, we got four minutes.
		I'm going to try and squeeze this last story.
		And this one kind of went under the radar a little bit.
		It's some H-1B drama.
		I know a lot of people in the crowd have, a lot of people in the audience are feeling the pinch very intent, very, you know, very personal.
		They're feeling the pinch is very personal with the H-1B stuff.
		This was posted on Twitter from Andrew Torba and a few other people were commenting on this.
		FedEx's new Indian CEO, the only, the second CEO in their history after the founder Fred Smith passed away recently, is hiring an ethnic, sorry, hiring an entire executive team of, you guessed it, his co-ethnics.
		So yeah, pretty much every internal document from FedEx, every time they get a new hire, it is someone that's also of Indian extraction.
		And this is happening all across the country is someone from India will get into the E-suite and just clean out the entire E-suite and bring in his co-ethnics.
		This is happening on a mass scale.
		I just wanted to highlight FedEx specifically because at Woke Capital here, he did a great job kind of compiling some information here on what's really going on.
		This coincides with them losing the USPS contract.
		FedEx, you know, they lost this contract.
		He said, I don't want to do hearsay here, but he's saying that he's heard from mutuals that live in the region that he's doing an IT subcrat contractor Indian population transfer and demographically replacing Memphis suburbs.
		I can confirm this as someone from the Memphis suburbs.
	I visited again recently, and you're seeing the overhaul in real time.
	And there actually is some data to back this up.
	I'll use this right here.
	Let me see if I can get this.
unidentified		Oh, well, maybe not.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Let's see.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		If I do this, I don't know what happened to my.
unidentified		Oh, that sucks.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's this school, Schilling Farms Elementary School.
		I'll pull it up.
		Maybe I'll put it on Twitter or something.
		It's gone from like it's like 80% minority enrollment now.
		The majority of those are Asian.
		Now, this is like in a very, when I was growing up, a very, very white suburb of Memphis.
		And there would be an explicable reason why a ton of Indians would pour in in a very short time, unless someone was gaming the H-1B system, and that's exactly what's going on.
		That is exactly what is going on.
		So if you look here, this is from myvisajobs.com.
		FedEx DataWorks, we're going to specifically punch in here on FedEx DataWorks, filed for 204 LCAs for H-1B visas.
		So they're piling H-1B visas.
		Let's look here at the bottom of this is from FedEx's official website.
		They have about 600 team members here at FedEx DataWorks and 200 already are H-1B visa applications.
		Let's see at the bottom here.
		Right.
		Where did it go?
		Anyway, I had it in the bottom.
		But dude, yeah, it's getting wild.
		They're just funneling in.
		They're funneling in co-ethnics here.
		And this was from the New York Post.
		So this is the executive of the FedEx DataWorks.
		So this company clears according to Yahoo Finance.
		Let me see if I have the article here.
		Dude, I'm so bad at stacking these articles in here.
		Anyway, Yahoo Finance, per Yahoo Finance, FedEx DataWorks has a revenue of about 10 million.
		And they're hiring 600 people.
		So divided that, that's like 10,000, 5,000, 10,000 a person.
		Brutal.
		New York Post, FedEx Tech executive departs after probe into IT department.
		FedEx's head of tech department is leaving the company after a months-long investigation into a personal matter within his unit.
		Suryam Krishna Shami, the chief's digital and information officer, and FedEx have mutually agreed that he would immediately step down from his role.
		And when they asked him, it was unrelated to financial performance.
		It follows an internal investigation to a personal matter within the IT department.
		So I think we all know what's going on here.
		It's getting grim.
		You can see it on Twitter.
		You have these people that are just emphasizing the.
		I'm running out of time here for this story.
		This really sucks.
		This is a really good story.
		But yeah, we're kind of running out of time here.
		But you know what I'm talking about.
		The H-1B thing is getting out of control.
		People are getting fired left and right.
		With that, okay.
		Let me close.
		I got to move on.
		I got to move on.
		I got to move on to our interview with Richie McGinnis.
		Maybe I'll break down the H-1B thing further, maybe tomorrow if I have time because I ran out of time here.
		But it's insane, insane, this FedEx story.
		We'll dive into it a little bit deeper.
		Anyway, I digress.
		I want to bring in Richie McGinnis, the great Richie McGinnis, to discuss first kind of what we saw here in DC with the church.
		There we go.
		With the church being targeted.
		Let's see.
		Richie, hey, can you hear me?
		Maybe.
unidentified		It looks like it's frozen.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Hey, can you hear me?
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		I see you.
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I hear you.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Hey, man.
		So we're live.
		How are you doing?
unidentified		How are you doing?
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		Doing good.
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		How are you doing?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Doing all right, brother.
unidentified		Live.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		We're doing it live.
		Bill O'Reilly style.
		Yeah, that's right.
		So you want to give people a quick introduction, who you are, what you do.
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		I'm Richie McGuinness.
		Well, I worked in DC media for the last decade.
		I went from MSNBC to Mark Levin to running the video at Daily Caller.
		And now I wrote the book over my shoulder here, right?
		About all the civil unrest in 2020, the so-called Summer of Love, and then on into 2021.
		And now I run the publishing company I started for that book because every publisher was telling me Trump wasn't going to make it through the primary.
		That's called Pigeon Press.
		And I work at a couple different websites.
		Got about four jobs right now.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Dude, that's bass.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		I love it.
unidentified		I love it.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Well, unfortunately, you know leftists very well.
		I was, you know, opened up the show with the story out of DC.
		This church was targeted specifically because of Supreme Court justices that were scheduled to attend a mass on Sunday.
		And he had like 200 explosive devices on him.
		Obviously, it was foiled, thankfully.
		But the environment in the country is getting scary.
		It really feels like there's a large proportion of the country with nothing to lose that are ready to snap at any moment.
		Can you maybe dive a little deeper into the psychology behind these sorts of people?
		Because I mean, obviously you're quite familiar with them.
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I think it's basically a similar mirror image of what we saw in 2020, and that obviously that was during a campaign season, so it's a little bit different.
		And the pandemic, I think, is obviously a major additional question mark, which obviously hyper generated everybody's anger.
		And when they finally got in the streets, they had all this pent-up frustration.
		But the parallels that I see are, number one, the galvanizing factor out there isn't like one specific ideology.
		It's never Trumpism.
		It's we all hate Trump and all of his stormtroopers.
		And so what you see in Portland or in various cities around the country, obviously Chicago right now, is the same thing we saw in front of the Portland courthouse in 2020, which is Trump's not going to bring his stormtroopers in here.
		We're not going to cooperate with the DHS who are trying to protect this federal building.
		And that's what galvanizes everybody to come to the streets.
		Now, what I'll say is different this time around is, number one, the fact that we've been there before.
		So on both sides of the equation, both the reporters, the people, the media who's showing people what's going on there, as well as the people out on the streets are much more well-versed of where the cameras are and who's filming and specifically how the media landscapes function right now.
		And so they're always looking for adversarial media.
		I think we would dress like them and, you know, kind of slide under the radar for most of that summer.
		And that's not the case anymore.
		So you see a lot more open confrontations between media and the people out on the streets, specifically the ones who are the biggest agitators.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		So this attack, he had this notebook on him, I think, like basically his manifesto.
		And he specifically cited ICE.
		And then we're seeing in Portland, ICE is on the receiving end of all the vitriol.
		And then obviously this is nested within the never Trumpism.
		What specifically do you think it is about ICE that really sets these people off?
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		Well, immigration has been an issue that has been barely touched by either party for 40 years.
		And so really it's a powder keg That's built up over decades because if you look at Barack Obama, one famous man on the street we did when we were at the caller was we would read Barack Obama's immigration quotes and say, what would you think that the president said this?
		They say, Trump this, Trump that.
		We reveal to them, oh, it was Barack Obama.
		So these open border policies have been pursued for across Republican and Democratic administrations for 40 years.
		And this election 2024 was immigration was probably the highest on the list that it's ever been in American history.
		And I was at the border in March of 2021 sounding the alarm because every single migrant who came over the border illegally into the United States, I interviewed them as they took their first steps into the country and prepared to surrender themselves to Border Patrol on purpose because they said explicitly, every single one, hundreds, we came because Joe Biden is president now and we know we can come in and we know we're going to get to go a flight to go see our families.
		And so the fact of the matter is this toothpaste has come out of the tube.
		And the question now is how do we fix that?
		Well, obviously the left isn't willing to give an inch on this.
		I mean, you see that with the healthcare bill right now.
		And so the galvanizing factor now isn't necessarily, you know, there's different manifestations of how Trump actually impacts these various cities.
		So it's not the DHS troops in front of the federal courthouse.
		It's ICE.
		And it's a far more national issue because obviously ICE is operating in all these different cities and you have the sanctuary policies.
		So in that respect, I think it's actually a much broader and potentially more dangerous issue than it was in 2020 when you only had these hotbeds of Seattle or Portland or DC or New York where the civil unrest was popping off.
		Obviously Kenosha being another good example.
		National Guard was there, but they didn't end up actually doing anything to keep the businesses from burning.
		And obviously from what happened with the shooting to take place, it was a complete power vacuum.
		So I think it'll be interesting, the combination of the National Guard, ICE, and Trump moving those various federal forces throughout the country.
		It's a question of what bad thing can happen when that's happening on such a broad scale.
		And then how is that going to set off potentially another George Floyd type situation or the situation with Jacob Blake and Kenosha?
		So it really just takes one spark to then devolve things into chaos.
unidentified		Yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Well, the Portland situation is specifically interesting to me because that's where you seem to see the most pressure put on ICE, where you have the most extended protests, like they go all night, these sorts of things.
		And Portland is like the whitest city in America.
		And so part of me wonders if the psychology like kind of underlying this is really self-hatred.
		They hate being white.
		They hate America.
		And ICE is really the last thing standing between them and just demographically replacing themselves because ICE is seeking to slow that down and potentially reverse it.
		And so for me, I think the reason Portland specifically is where you're seeing the most vitriol is just because of these self-hating white people.
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		It's funny you say that because I've dedicated a number of pages to that in my book in the Portland chapter because Portland, yeah, it's number one, it's below 5% black and even today.
		And historically, all the way through the 1970s, there were laws that prohibited blacks from attaining property within Portland city limits.
		And so this, and actually, it was a stronghold, you know, pre-World War II, pre-World War I, it was a stronghold for the KKK.
		And there were a number of anti-Chinese riots that took place where fires were set and burned down Chinatown in Portland.
		So this is something that I definitely touched on because when you're out there, it's like predominantly white.
		So it was even stranger in 2020 when it was a Black Lives Matter demonstration.
		And you had Philip, I forget his last name.
		He's a tall black dude who was a conservative activist at the time.
		And he's standing in front of the fence saying, don't smash into this fence.
		The cops are just going to come out.
		It's going to make the cause worse.
		So you're going to make us look bad.
		And they're all yelling at him, a bunch of white people telling him to get out of the way and let them basically agitate the police.
		So Portland is definitely has done a 180 as far as their perspective on race relations and their responsibility to go out there.
		And I guess creating chaos somehow in their minds solves this situation.
		I mean, whether it's ICE or DHS or Portland PD, my opinion was always the fact that, you know, the more that you beat up on conservative commentators who might be out there, the more that you agitate police, that the worse that makes your cause look.
		The best thing you can do is go out there and actually be peaceful.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		So what do you think Antifa's goals are at this point?
		Because obviously they can see the hammer coming down, right?
		This is the first time, at least since Antifa's really emerged in the 21st century, and in large part, it seems like the feds are really just intent on destroying them.
		What do you think their strategy is now?
		What do you think?
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		Well, the way that Antifa is built is actually, for lack of a better comparison, I studied Arabic and lived in the Middle East, and I've studied the Muslim Brotherhood extensively.
		And ultimately, it's a decentralized group of cells who operate independently of any kind of central hierarchy.
		And the fact of the matter is, when you're out on the streets, it's very rare that you say, you'll see an Antifa flag, you'll see a patch.
		But if you go up to somebody and say, hey, yo, are you Antifa?
		It's a lot different than if you go up to a proud boy and say, hey, are you a proud boy?
		There literally says proud boy on their shirt.
		So it's intentionally anonymous.
		A lot of the conversations about strategies and whatnot take place through encrypted apps.
		In 2020, I was in a lot of those, infiltrated a lot of those groups.
		And that's where they're really planning the most extreme measures, like building Molotov cocktails.
		And they'll do it also through meet and greets at their safe houses, which they have throughout the city.
		And so they do operate similar to the way a terrorist cell would operate.
		With that being said, it's almost impossible to say all these people are Antifa because ultimately there's a group, a number of groups of people out there.
		They're like the first timers who come out there, want to test it out.
		Usually most of them will leave when the violence starts to happen.
		Then there's like the hardcore young people who are new to the game, but they can be very dangerous because they have a lot of energy.
		They're kind of ignorant to how these things can devolve into chaos and get really dangerous.
		And then there are like the salty locals who have been out there since 2020 and they come out and you see the same people every night.
		And so between those three groups, there are a certain number who are affiliated and or communicating with Antifa.
		But just because they're wearing all black, you know, it doesn't mean that they're necessarily explicitly like, oh, yeah, let's go out and firebomb this place.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		I mean, that's what seems to make it tricky.
		Obviously, Trump declared them to be a terrorist cell, but it was domestic.
		So there's not really any like legal, nothing changes legally unless you were to declare them like a foreign terrorist organization.
		Tim's made the point that they are, because Antifa does operate like in Paris and Berlin and et cetera, et cetera.
		But specifically in the United States, like you're saying, it gets a bit muddied who's in, who's out.
		I mean, some of these clubs like the John Brown Gun Club, maybe do you start there?
		Because that seems to be a bit more formal.
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we saw the John Brown Gun Club.
		That's a tongue twister outside of doing security in Seattle at the Chaz.
		So if you guys remember, Chaz was a six-block area that the Seattle police chief and mayor, Mayor Durkin, and Carmen Best was the police chief, capitulated a six-block area to the protesters.
		And what's the first thing they did?
		Set up borders with checkpoints and put armed guards at those borders.
		And so we had a couple of encounters with members of the John Brown Gun Club.
		And right at my alma mater in DC, I mean, D.C. of all places for a gun club, right?
		Georgetown, in northwest D.C., there was a flyer for the John Brown Gun Club in Red Square, which is one of the main squares in Georgetown.
		And it was soliciting applications.
		I mean, it takes like a year to get a concealed carry permit in D.C., so I don't know exactly how that functions.
		But the fact of the matter is those groups should be examined.
		And this is the same as the funding that comes from the protests.
		Who's paying for the signs?
		Who's paying to transport these people in and out?
		Well, the answer is the names are constantly changing by design.
		So the open, if you follow like George Soros's Open Society Foundation, you'll see they give to, well, in this election cycle, it might be called Indivisible.
		And in the next one, it'll be called something different.
		So they'll fund the side of the transportation, the signage.
		They'll print all that stuff out.
		And then you have another level of agitators who are specifically organizing themselves in much seedier, more shadowy realms, not through the nonprofits, but they capitalize on that protest as a power vacuum.
		So it is, it's complicated by design.
		And that's kind of the scary part.
		But ultimately, I think if you're investigating it, you do two things.
		You follow the actual people who are perpetrating violence in the street.
		And if you arrest them, you investigate them, you find who they were communicating with.
		And then on the other side, you follow the money because the money is where these protests are actually being sprung up, all the social media arms.
		And that takes a lot of resources and people to get these protests to actually take place, whether it's the No Kings, whether it's the anti-Tesla stuff.
		And all of this stuff is funded by groups like Indivisible.
		And it's like a web of various nonprofits.
		And that's the same way that they do it in the Middle East, by the way.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Dude, I mean, it's that.
		And you see like in Portland.
		I mean, I keep going back to Portland.
		That's just where a lot of the content is right now, where the Portland police just kind of stand down.
		I think that'd be the most gratuitous explanation of what's going on.
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		The Portland police were certainly less confrontational than definitely in 2020.
		And from what I can gather, definitely right now, than any of the federal troops who come in.
		So at the time, it was DHS surrounding the federal courthouse.
		And, you know, Portland also, the Portland PD, also, it's kind of like darned if you do, darned if you don't, because the policies that are surrounding them as a local police department are very, very strict.
		And, you know, the last thing that they want is another BLM situation where somebody gets violent and then they get hurt and things, everything gets worse.
		So in a lot of ways, they're handcuffed with what kind of non-lethals they can use.
		And you've seen around the ICE facility, that's definitely not the case.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		I mean, what does this say about the United States, the environment we're in?
		I mean, obviously here at Timcast, Civil War predictions are quite rife.
		It's kind of how it goes.
		I mean, yeah, I don't know if I'm there.
		I'm closer to that position than I've ever been because I'm seeing a vast chunk of the country that's just egging on political violence.
		They love seeing what happened to Charlie Kirk.
		I mean, they would give this like half-hearted condemnation, but ultimately they were like, well, you're still a fascist at the end of the day.
		And I'm like, how do I share a country with these people ultimately?
		I mean, I can't.
		I can't live like this.
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's crazy because I was bumping between the Proud Boys during all the Stop the Steel stuff and then the counter protesters who were in DC.
		And it really is, it's like two completely different worlds.
		The fact of the matter is, is that right now, the way that all the algorithms are set up on Twitter, whatever it is, YouTube, Instagram, Meta, whatever you want to call it, They direct you towards two different, one of two echo chambers if you're looking at political content.
		And when it comes to these kinds of protests and stuff, and this has been the case in 2020 as well as now, if you say Antifa terrorist does X, you're going to get more retweets than if you say a guy wearing all black did this because you don't, you know, you don't know what his background is.
		And look, I get it, but it does create a situation.
		And then the other side is taking that same clip and, you know, cutting it up, taking it out of context, just that one part where the cop pepper sprays whoever.
		And then they say, look at the police brutality.
		So you have the exact same clip that's being viewed completely differently by the two different sides of the country.
		And unfortunately, with social media, people aren't willing to kind of look and get the bigger picture.
		If you look at Jacob Blake, the shooting that kicked off, the police-involved shooting that kicked off all of the riots in Kenosha, he was armed with a knife.
		And the video that went across social media caused the NBA to cancel games.
		You know, you had the entire media saying that he was shot in front of his kids.
		Kamala Harris said that.
		Joe Biden said that.
		And the fact of the matter is, the kids that he was shot in front of were his kids.
		And the baby mama had, there was a warrant out for his arrest for domestic abuse of her.
		And she had called the police saying, I'm worried for my safety.
		He's back.
		And so they came out because he had a warrant for his arrest.
		And those kids, you know, were the kids also of the woman that he had battered.
		So he was trying to, the video shows him get tased as he's trying to get into the car.
		And it didn't show the fact that he was armed with a knife.
		And then he was also tased previously to that.
		And the police had done everything they could to non-lethally subdue him.
		And he was effectively potentially entering that vehicle to kidnap the kids.
		So that context is important.
		And that's not what we're getting still to this day.
		And that's why I appreciate Tim Cast and going on there because you can talk about these things at greater length than just whatever's on your Twitter timeline.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		I mean, yeah, I agree.
		Like the echo chambers is a problem.
		I mean, part of it, though, is I think it's just exploiting very real divisions that are kind of irreconcilable to a large degree.
		Cause I'm like, I mean, I do agree.
		Yeah, the echo chambers thing is an issue.
		But when I see people that believe that having a position on abortion like Charlie Kirk's warrants death, I mean, I don't know if that's created by social media or if that's a division that already exists that's just exploited by social media.
unidentified		Yeah.
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		Well, I don't think it's necessarily, well, it's created by social media in, I think, a couple of different ways.
		Number one, like the content that people are actually viewing.
		But number two, the fact that social media makes you so hyper-aware of all the things that you don't have.
		And I think if you're constantly jumping into the lives, by the way, behind filters and behind, you know, set up shoots, even people who rent, you know, Porsches to make themselves look richer, the image that you're seeing on social media is telling you, oh, the grass is greener over there, there.
		And that didn't exist in the past.
		So I think young people entering the job market, I entered, I graduated high school in 2008.
		And so, you know, it's a similar feeling, but it's, it's supercharged by the fact that we were using, you know, AOL Instant Messenger back then and like BlackBerries.
		So it's, it's, to a certain extent, there's a spiritual sickness that pervades across all of these dissident and extremist groups.
		And it, it causes them to branch out into their tribe, their digital media tribe.
		And that's their community now.
		So if you have all our local newspapers are dried up, you know, people aren't going to church.
		They don't have that aspect of community.
		Less people are doing sports and living in small towns.
		And so, you know, when we, whereas we growing up, went outside to, you know, play with our buddies and ride on bikes for a couple hours.
		Now they're sitting playing video games, shooting people.
		I played Halo, but it was, you know, it wasn't everything that we did.
		It just was, and you weren't integrated with six different devices at the same time.
		So I don't know where it goes from here because honestly, it only seems to be getting worse.
		And Trump still has two and a half more years.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		So you can stop these things.
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		30 years in a month, a couple months.
unidentified		Sorry.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		I was checking my math.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's like even at the institutional level, like, okay, yeah, there's things we can mitigate as far as like Antif and these sorts of things.
		But the issue you're addressing is really important, which is, I mean, the big incidents have been carried out by like atomized young people.
		And A, because they're just tapped into this online world that they get that socialization bug out there.
		It kind of gives them this false sense of socialization.
		And maybe that can mask the spiritual rot for a proportion of time.
		And then they get radicalized on these online groups.
		That's one thing, like with the Discords and everything.
		But then also just the way the economy is and the way the pathways to matriculation for young adults is just completely broken down.
		So they just really feel like they have nothing to lose.
		And that's a really petrifying thing.
		So you have people with radical political ideology.
		That's one thing.
		We're used to that.
		People with radical political ideology have been around for a long time and they just kind of mind their own business.
		Is when they have nothing to lose, that's when it gets very worrying.
		That's when they snap, so to speak.
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		And the irony of the whole thing is that the hollowing out of the middle class and the hollowing out of opportunities for young people to have a home and a vehicle and a stable job, that all took place over 40 years across what I would call the Uni Party.
		And I would put Barack Obama, having even knocked on doors for him in 2008 as an idealistic 18-year-old.
		I would put him into the category of the Uniparty who appealed to, I mean, he bailed out the banks in 2008.
		And so when that happens across the Reagan, Bush won Clinton, and Bush two, and then Obama, that is actually the preconditions that created the opportunity for a Trump to actually take power.
		So it's something ironic when they're saying, oh, everybody who voted for him is a Nazi and a fascist.
		Whereas when if you look at it through a different lens, like I started working for Mark Levin in 2015 and I saw the Tea Party and then how that kind of played into a lot of the grassroots approaches that Trump took to his platform and something as simple as build a wall.
		I've talked to hundreds of border patrol agents.
		They all say a wall is a good idea because you can't drive across the border.
		So, you know, and if you kind of have to climb, that's harder than walking.
		You kind of have to dig a tunnel.
		That's harder than driving.
		Right.
		So, and then everybody's saying it's the dumbest thing in the world in 2016 when Trump was running on that platform.
		And so it's like this detachment from reality that's now taking place because everybody has such a personal animus towards Trump, but they can't see the historical antecedents for that.
		And it's like they're all saying it's unprecedented.
		Yeah, it's unprecedented how, I guess, since the Gilded Age, we haven't had this disparity between the rich and the poor.
		And that's the last time that that's when William Jennings Bryan really initiated that transition for the Democratic Party to go from the party of the South to the party of the working class by FDR's time.
		And now we're seeing that paradigm shift in the other direction.
		And it's just, I'm asking the question, 2016, I thought it was going to happen 2024.
		I thought, oh, the Democrats, maybe they'll get a reckoning.
		And it just doesn't seem like they've really figured out the fact that running for the same mold business in DC is not going to work among the American voters right now, especially young people.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Well, and it seems like Democrats now are beholden to that same activism class that drives the same sort of ideological impulses that drive Antifa.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		So it's like, that's why a lot of people are saying at this point Antifa could be viewed as sort of the paramilitary arm of the Democrat Party.
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		There was that famous Jerry Nadler quote, oh, Antifa's a myth.
		That was in the summer of 2020.
		And it's, but they still, they're still maintaining that that is the case, that it's not really, and it's, it's so ridiculous because obviously now there are countless acts of violence that took place.
		You know, obviously there's a, was it Derek Reinhold? in 2020.
		There's basically a Patriot member of the Patriot Pair just shot dead in the street by somebody who actively said that they were Antifa.
		I mean, literally publicly said that and then got into a shootout with police and died.
		And so it's not new to see that Antifa has been people who actually acknowledge I'm part of Antifa have committed these violent acts and they're still saying that it's some kind of myth.
		I think it's just it's because of the echo chambers that we have, they're never going to be in front of somebody who really holds them accountable unless they're in some house hearing, you know, once in a blue moon.
		So we're also in a situation in D.C. where it's not just the country that's split between rural and urban and left and right, but that the city is like, if you're a reporter, it's really difficult.
		Oh, where did you work?
		Oh, no, I'm not going to do an interview with you because you worked at the Daily Caller.
		Or the same thing happens in reverse.
		And that's why I appreciate Tim Cast too, because it's like, you guys have cross-pollination and not everybody has to agree.
		And Tim, you know, former lefty like me, like knocking on doors.
		I was knocking on doors for Obama.
		Tim was, you know, in Ferguson and at Occupy.
		And then it's like really hard for the left to wrap their heads around the fact that all these people who voted for Obama then voted, turned around and voted for Trump.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		So it's true.
		Well, I guess one more question with Portland.
		How effective, if the National Guard is able to finally deploy, how effective do you think that's going to be letting those federal agents do their job and conduct?
		Do you think they're actually going to be able to crack down on Antifa in any effective way?
		Because I mean, there's a lot of those guys.
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		Well, there's some factors involved.
		I mean, obviously this case that's pending that was just challenged, Trump being able to even bring them in.
		Well, the fact of the matter is, is first thing that happens is going to be what happened in 2020, which is the feds come in and then it kind of amplifies the response, right?
		Because they're like, okay, here come the feds.
		Now we have our cause.
		Trump's stormtroopers are here.
		And so in the short term, I think that will definitely happen.
		And it's just a question of what the numbers are because ultimately, however big that swelling of the crowd is, they're going to have to match that from an enforcement perspective so that they don't have to use the force multipliers that make things get out of control, like, you know, tear gas and pepper spray.
		Because ultimately, when cops use those measures, it's because they're overwhelmed.
		It's because they're outnumbered.
		It's because they need to get things under control.
		So I think if you're going to get it under control, you really just need to make sure that your numbers in terms of enforcement are greater than what they're going to be able to dish out in the streets on the other side of things.
		And that's where you'll see it maintain more of a peaceful posture than if they're overwhelmed and don't have any support from local PD and don't have any support from the local government.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Well, yeah, because that's what I've seen is there's like what, 900 federal agents that are available to even protect these buildings.
		So it's like, yeah, the National Guard is a no-brainer because obviously Portland police, I mean, the city of Portland gave the feds a code violation for boarding up the windows.
		So there's like, it's clearly they're antagonistic to the feds at this point.
richie mcginniss ▲ ● ▼		And it's the same thing as 2020.
		I mean, people, Jenny, literally the chaz took place in Seattle because from the governor Inslee on down to Mayor Durkin wanted to put their thumb in the eye of Trump and get the national attention of, I'm the Democratic politician who's standing up to fascism and this is Orange Man bad.
		And so look at me.
		I'm so righteous.
		And then you get the national attention, you get the spotlight.
		And it's the same thing taking place yet again.
		And so it's going to be a matter of whether or not they're able to muster the actual number of people that they need out in the streets defending these various, whether it's the ICE facility or the federal courthouse.
		You know, if they're overwhelmed, then boom, here we have tear gas and then here comes more chaos.
unidentified		Yeah.
