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 DC on Sunday, just ahead of the Red Mass. | ||
It's this annual service that's traditionally attended by um members of the judiciary. | ||
And when he was approached by police, he threatened to detonate his devices. | ||
He reportedly carried vials of nitromethane. | ||
Um he had device parts, modified bottle rockets, thermite treatments. | ||
He I mean, like tons, tons. | ||
He had a he had a whole trench coat full of just contraband. | ||
But uh 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 uh in other cases, Christianity, public life itself, and you know, the media, the response to this has just been that this geary guy, Louis Gieri, just some crazy guy, mental health crisis, etc. | ||
etc. | ||
But whether or not he was sane and the clinical sense is really besides the point. | ||
What matters here is the intent, the the symbolism, the message. | ||
Uh it's an attack on the very notion that faith and justice and order are like relevant to American life. | ||
That's that's what's under attack here. | ||
Um 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. | ||
Um, with like 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 um at NATCO, 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 gotta ask, why is ICE specifically being targeted with a lot of these attacks? | ||
Why are IC 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 uh 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 gotta flip this uh light on. | ||
There we go. | ||
But it is ice who uh 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 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 any sort of violence. | ||
When's the last time you saw a spray paint on the side of a building saying down with RFK or or you know with some sort of violent rhetoric against you know 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 or adding regulation in, or or you know, going after big pharma, these sorts of things, but it's never HHS that's targeted or uh 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's very explicitly clear. | ||
There's there's some churches out there that try to play it fast and loose with sexuality. | ||
They they exist, but um, they'll be the first ones to tell you that the they have problems with Paul's letters, these sorts of things. | ||
But churches specifically are seen as this like this patriarch patriarch for for the left as this oppressive father figure, because like I said, Christianity tells you no. | ||
Christianity tells you, uh, that's not good. | ||
That's gonna destroy you. | ||
Don't put your hand on the on the hot, hot uh 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 uh 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 on total attack under a total attack from the left, and uh, 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 uh the Supreme Court insanity, insanity. | ||
We also have James Comey getting uh, you know, getting run through the court, very exciting, obviously. | ||
We all wanted to see that. | ||
Uh it's heating up in Chicago. | ||
Trump said uh Pritzer and Johnson should be arrested. | ||
That's uh pretty based. | ||
And uh we have a story. | ||
If we have time, we'll get to it. | ||
Uh H1B 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. | ||
Um, dude, big fan, big fan of Caspar. | ||
Obviously, I'm a big fan. | ||
I work here. | ||
Uh Appalachian Knights is my go-to. | ||
Uh, it's been my go-to for some time now. | ||
Um, it's fantastic stuff, but I really this is really where it gets exciting. | ||
I mean, Ian's graphene dream, okay. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
It's you know, it's the hot ticket. | ||
Everyone loves Ian's graphene dream. | ||
Mary's Ghost Blend. | ||
This is just dropped. | ||
This is fresh off the press. | ||
This is really, really exciting stuff. | ||
Mary's Ghostblend, the bag is pretty wild. | ||
Um, there's a lot going on there. | ||
So um, yeah, I'd recommend just getting a bag and taking a closer look. | ||
This 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 uh I'm very nervous looking at this very scary stuff. | ||
But uh 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 they've revamped the store. | ||
I haven't been uh clued in on this because Boonies does, they're they're their own operation. | ||
Um there's some new there's some new swag on the store. | ||
Either it's new swag, they've reoriented, they've they've adjusted the uh 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.boone's HQ.com. | ||
And with that, I'm gonna get into the story that I was discussing. | ||
Lefty maniac threatens to detonate tent filled with 200 explosives outside of DC church hosting Supreme Court justices. | ||
The New York Post, uh, they have some great uh adjectives that they use for uh these. | ||
Obviously, this is a really grim story, because if this if he succeeded in his mission, um we would be living in a vastly different um timeline right now. | ||
But um they they just use these like really off the wall hedges 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. | ||
Um, and again, it's true. | ||
But I I'll I'll read here, as I was discussing earlier. | ||
New Jersey man arrested before the Red Mass 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, Lewis 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 DC. | ||
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. | ||
Um, like I I got I was just looking through their website before the show. | ||
Um, this was from their last like homily on migrants and uh refugees. | ||
Uh 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 doorposts 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. | ||
For it's gonna mark you for for death. | ||
Um, because they view having faith in Christ as mean as this grounds for your killing. | ||
Um that's just how it is. | ||
But uh, with that, on the steps of the cathedral of the of St. Matthew the Apostle, uh, and allegedly told cops who approached him, you might want to stay back and call the Federales. | ||
I have explosives. | ||
Um this was according to the Washington Post. | ||
Um, 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 uh 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 SCOTUS justices typically attend the service, but stayed away as a security threat unfolded. | ||
Uh uh according to the Catholic Standard, the official newspaper of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington. | ||
Um 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 um, yeah, it's really really grim stuff. | ||
It's I'm very thankful to the uh to the Metropolitan Police Department that they were able to de-escalate the situation. | ||
Um, this is just a really really petrifying, petrifying situation. | ||
Um yeah, the 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 this was last week where with ice being targeted specifically. | ||
Um Katie Davis Corp, street journalist was chased down and whacked in the face, and you know, face got busted up. | ||
And the the Portland police just kind of stood down. | ||
They refused to detain the official as she was pursuing him. | ||
Um ice church, etc. | ||
Like we the environment we're in is an environment of political violence. | ||
There's there's no question about it. | ||
Again, I sound like a broken record because this has been this has been hit ad nauseum. | ||
But um, they're attacking every vector of American life the left is. | ||
And this is why you know, I know I know it takes a while to reorient the uh the intelligence community, obviously the intelligence community, which you know, your three-letter agencies, these sort of 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 um, 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 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. | ||
Um, so we're gonna discuss this more later. | ||
I'm bringing in Richie McGuinness, the great Richie McGuinness, and uh he's gonna really break down more of sort of the intricacies of leftist violence and perhaps what some vectors the IC has at their disposal to uh infiltrate and sort of break up and prevent these sorts of attacks from happening. | ||
But um, yeah, regardless, it's getting crazy, folks. | ||
It's getting crazy. | ||
But uh with that, I want to get into this next story. | ||
Uh this 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 uh heard yesterday, Comey was arraigned today on criminal charges. | ||
Um he pled not guilty. | ||
Uh I mean, I think we all expected this. | ||
Nothing really was unusual today. | ||
Umy's trial was set on January 5th. | ||
It is somewhat quick. | ||
It's a little quicker than I think people anticipated. | ||
Um, 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 uh a Senate committee in 2020. | ||
So these are two charges. | ||
There were three charges sought um by prosecutors and this grand jury, and it was in Arlington or Alexandria, I think it was in Arlington. | ||
Um Alexandria, it was an Alexandria, they're right next to each other. | ||
Um the charges uh he was indicted for and he was arraigned for, which was yeah, the uh false statement and the obstruction of congressional proceeding during a testimony to uh Senate he lied to he lied to Congress. | ||
That's that's what the charge is. | ||
Um 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 uh going on uh why this was happening, why we were having to bring federal prosecutors from North Carolina. | ||
Um there was kind of two reasons given. | ||
The first was uh there was a lack of interest in the Eastern District, um, and and broadly in Virginia. | ||
Um 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 gonna be a tricky one. | ||
Um Halligan, Lindsay Halligan uh has never prosecuted a case at this level before. | ||
Um she was she was in she was put into the job. | ||
Um here says right here, Trump shortly after her predecessor uh 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 gonna be a tricky one. | ||
And this is uh Comey's lawyer, Patrick Fitzgerald. | ||
This guy is kind of like um, he's kind of an all-star. | ||
He really is. | ||
Um, I mean, he has he has quite the extensive um history here. | ||
Um he participated in prosecutions Of bin Laden, a few other um terrorists when he was part of the uh crime terrorism unit. | ||
Uh led prosecution and conviction of Dick Cheney's chief of staff, Scooter Libby. | ||
And uh as a federal prosecutor, he led a number of high profile investigations. | ||
Um I mean, this guy is really this guy's been around the block. | ||
He's he's been around the block and he's had a relationship with James Comey for a while now. | ||
Um, so look, Comey's feeling confident. | ||
I think that's why he he wanted this, he wanted he wanted he wants a trial. | ||
He said in his video, let's have a trial. | ||
And um, yeah, I think what's what's what's so shocking is uh with Comey when they arraigned him, everyone is thinking, like, oh, there's gonna be a perp walk, like this is gonna kind of be red meat for the base, you know, we're gonna get to see Comey sort of brought because this is this is the villain of Trump, and he is a villain of Trump. | ||
Um he gave Trump uh 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 uh, so yeah. | ||
There there is, you know, people are saying, oh, well, this is uh this is clearly political. | ||
Um, 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 gonna have a trial and we'll see. | ||
I mean, the it's really up to the judge to decide and the jury. | ||
But uh, yeah, with that, uh it is it is wild that he was arraigned, we weren't given a perp walk, he was slipped in through the back door. | ||
And uh, you just contrast that. | ||
I mean, Roger Stone put this up um 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 when they persecute right wingers, um, it's night and day. | ||
They they 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. | ||
Um, you know, they there's so many videos of him arriving to the courthouse in New York. | ||
Um, 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, was actually kind of cool. | ||
Like Trump, you know, because Trump has insane aura. | ||
It actually turned out to be kind of cool. | ||
And uh obviously the famous mug shot. | ||
We're not getting that with Comey um for a variety of reasons, but uh yeah, A is just because there's just right wingers and left wingers are treated differently in this country. | ||
There's really no surprises there. | ||
So um, yeah, we're gonna get to this next story here from the uh Chicago Tribune. | ||
Governor J.B. Pritzker says President Trump deploying troops to Chicago due to dementia and obsessive fixations. | ||
Um 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 a fetch effectuating to have him call out these cities. | ||
Um, he the reason he's calling out these cities is because you're the governor of Illinois and Chicago is in Illinois, and uh we kind of all know what goes on in Chicago. | ||
Uh Trump responded, Chicago mayor should be in jail for failing to protect ICE officers, Governor Pritzker also. | ||
That was on Truth Social. | ||
Uh, that was this morning. | ||
It's so true. | ||
Look, Chicago is a complete disaster. | ||
I mean, I I can't believe like we keep having to come up with new ways to explain this to the left because they just come out with these ridiculous articles. | ||
Um, 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's the cities have in common. | ||
It's neither here nor there. | ||
Uh, this is from Cash Patel. | ||
This is not this long ago. | ||
We got the clip here. | ||
Uh, take a look at this shocking revelation of what specifically is going on in Chicago. | ||
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, DC, 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. | ||
Yeah, so I mean, as Patel outlined, the specifically the homicide rate in Chicago is absolutely insane. | ||
This is one of my favorite uh maps. | ||
This is obviously data. | ||
It's a few years old. | ||
It's from uh 2021, I believe. | ||
Um, this was before Redditors decided that Chicago is actually this perfect utopian society that Trump was disrupting. | ||
Here's uh a map of countries with a lower annual homicide total than Chicago in the last 12 months, 795 murders. | ||
Um, 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. | ||
Um, I don't know if you're much of a math lead here, but uh 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 um, 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 Illinois Policy.org. | ||
Every nine minutes and 21 seconds, Illinois loses another resident. | ||
Uh, this is just insane. | ||
And so Pritzker was um 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 he he was 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 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 in turn international migration. | ||
Well, 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 you can't really stat pad when you're just like you know, flooding your state with with foreigners. | ||
Um yeah, people are pouring out, and it's 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. | ||
Um, it's a complete disaster. | ||
Uh, this was uh here's a quote from the article. | ||
Not only it's like the young population declining, he said, not only that, we're losing our wealthy people, and we're gaining a very and we're gaining very poor people. | ||
And from a tax-based perspective and from a workforce perspective, and from you know, a productive productivity perspective, it is very dangerous for Illinois. | ||
So, yeah, so you're getting demographic, you're getting all the works here. | ||
You're getting demographic replacement, your country's getting poorer, or your states getting poorer, you're losing like companies. | ||
I mean, it's just a complete disaster. | ||
So, um, with that, we got four minutes. | ||
I'm gonna try and squeeze this last story. | ||
And this one was kind of kind of went under the radar a little bit. | ||
Um, it's some H1B drama. | ||
I know a lot of people in the crowd have a lot of people in the audience are feeling the pinch very intent, uh, very, you know, very personal. | ||
They're feeling the pinch is very personal with the H1B stuff. | ||
Um this was posted on Twitter from uh Andrew Torba um and a few other people were commenting on this. | ||
FedEx's new Indian CEO, the only second CEO in their history after the founder Fred Smith passed away recently, is hiring an hiring an entire executive team of you guessed it, his co-ethnics. | ||
So um, yeah, pretty much every uh 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 uh 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 uh at Woke Capital here, he did a great job um kind of compiling some information here on what's really going on. | ||
Um this coincides with them losing the USPS contract. | ||
FedEx, you know, they lost his contract. | ||
He said, uh I don't want to do hearsay here, but uh he's saying that he's heard from mutuals that live in the region that he's doing an IT subcrack contractor Indian population transfer and demographically replacing Memphis suburbs. | ||
Uh I can confirm this as someone from the Memphis suburbs. | ||
I visited again recently, and you're seeing the overhaul in real time. | ||
And uh there actually is some data to back this up. | ||
Um I'll use this right here. | ||
Let me see if I can get this. | ||
Oh, well. | ||
Maybe not. | ||
Let's see. | ||
unidentified
|
Maybe if I do this. | |
I don't know what happened to my oh, that's that sucks. | ||
Well, it's this school, Shilling Farms Elementary School. | ||
I'll pull it up, maybe I'll put it on Twitter or something. | ||
Uh it's gone from like it's like 80% minority enrollment now, and 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 wouldn't be an explicable reason why a ton of Indians would pour in in a very short time unless someone was gaming the H1B um system, and that's exactly what's going on. | ||
Um, that is exactly what is going on. | ||
So if you look here, uh, this is from my visajobs.com. | ||
FedEx DataWorks, we're gonna specifically punch in here on FedEx Dataworks. | ||
Filed for 204 uh LCAs for H1B visas. | ||
So um they're they're they're piling in H1B visas. | ||
Um let's look here at the bottom of this is from FedEx's official website. | ||
They have about 600 team members here at FedEx Data Works, and 200 already are H1B visa applications. | ||
Um let's see at the bottom here. | ||
unidentified
|
Um, where did it go? | |
Anyway, I had it in the bottom. | ||
But um, dude, yeah, it's getting it's getting wild. | ||
They're just funneling in, they're funneling in co-ethnix here. | ||
And this was um, this was from the New York Post. | ||
So this is the executive of the 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 revenue of about 10 million, and uh they're hiring 600 people. | ||
So divided that that's like 10,000 five, 10,000 a person. | ||
Brutal. | ||
New York Post, FedEx Tech Executive departs after probe into IT department. | ||
Uh FedEx is head of tech department is leaving the company after a month's long investigation into a personal matter within his unit. | ||
Suryam Krishna Shammy, the chief's digital uh and information officer and FedEx have mutually agreed that he would immediately step down from his role. | ||
Um they asked him, it was unrelated to financial performance. | ||
It follows an internal investigation to a personal matter within the IT department. | ||
Um so I think we all know what's going on here. | ||
Um it's getting grim. | ||
You can see it on Twitter. | ||
You you have these people that are just emphasizing the uh I'm running out of time here for this story. | ||
This really sucks because it's a really good story. | ||
But um, yeah, we're kind of running out of time here. | ||
But uh you know what I'm talking about. | ||
The H1B thing is getting out of control, people are getting fired left and right. | ||
With that, okay. | ||
Let me close. | ||
I gotta move on. | ||
I gotta move on. | ||
I gotta move on to our interview with Richie McGuinness. | ||
Oh, maybe I'll break down the H1B thing further, maybe tomorrow if I have time because yeah, I ran out of time here, but it's insane and say this FedEx story. | ||
We'll dive into it a little bit deeper. | ||
Anyway, I digress. | ||
I want to bring in Richie McGuinness, the great Richie McGuinness to discuss uh first what kind of what we saw here in in DC with the the uh church. | ||
There we go. | ||
With the uh with the church being targeted. | ||
Let's see uh Richie, hey, how can you hear me? | ||
Maybe. | ||
Looks like it's frozen. | ||
Um hey, can you hear me? | ||
I see you, yeah. | ||
I hear you. | ||
Hey man, so we're live. | ||
How are you doing? | ||
How are you doing? | ||
Doing good, how are you doing? | ||
Doing all right, brother. | ||
unidentified
|
Live. | |
We're doing it live. | ||
Yeah, little Bill O'Reilly style. | ||
Yeah, that's right. | ||
So you want to give people a quick introduction, who you are, what you do. | ||
I'm Richie McGuinness. | ||
I well, I 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 I wrote uh the book over my shoulder here, right? | ||
I about all the civil unrest in 2020. | ||
Yeah, uh, the so-called summer of love, and then on into 2021. | ||
And now I run uh the publishing company I started for that book because everybody every publisher was telling me Trump wasn't gonna make it through the primary. | ||
That's called Pigeon Press. | ||
And uh I work at a couple different websites, got about four jobs right now. | ||
Dude, that's base. | ||
I love it. | ||
I love it. | ||
Dude, well, unfortunately, you know leftists very well. | ||
I was I was you know, opened up the show with the story out of DC. | ||
Um, this church was targeted specifically because of Supreme Court justices that were uh scheduled to attend a mass on Sunday, and he had like 200 uh explosive devices on them. | ||
Obviously, it was foiled, thankfully. | ||
But um the the environment in the country is getting scary. | ||
It's it 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. | ||
Yeah, I I think it's it's basically you know, 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 and the pandemic, I think is obviously a major uh additional question mark, which you know, obviously hyper uh generated everybody's anger, and you know, when they finally got in the streets, they had all this pent-up frustration. | ||
But the parallels that I see are number one, the 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 gonna bring his stormtroopers in here. | ||
We're not gonna 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 pr 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. | ||
Uh, and that's not the case anymore. | ||
So you see a lot more open confrontations between media and the the people out on the streets, uh, specifically the ones who are the biggest agitators. | ||
What's so this 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 un nested within the never Trumpism. | ||
What's specifically do you think it is about ice that really sets these people off? | ||
Well, the immigration has been an issue that has been barely touched by either party for 40 years. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And so really it's a powder keg that's built up over decades because you know, if you look at Barack Obama, one one famous man on the street we did when we were at the collar was we would read Barack Obama's immigration quotes and say, What would you think of you know that the president said this? | ||
They say Trump this, Trump that when we revealed to them, oh, it was Barack Obama. | ||
So these open border policies have been pursued for you know 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 that's I was at the border in uh March of 2021, sounding the alarm because every single migrant who came over the the border illegally into the United States. | ||
I 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 gonna get, you know, to go a flight to go see our families. | ||
And so the fact of the matter is this 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 the galvanizing factor Now isn't necessarily uh, 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 um potentially more dangerous issue than it was in 2020 when you know you only had these hotbeds of Seattle or Portland or DC or New York, where uh 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 uh 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, you know, those various uh federal forces uh uh throughout the country. | ||
It's a question of you know what bad thing can happen when that's happening on such a broad scale, and then how is that going to set off, you know, potentially another uh George Floyd type situation or the situation with uh Jacob Blake and Kenosha. | ||
So it's it really just takes one spark to then devolve things into chaos. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, the the Portland situation is specifically interesting to me because that's where you seem to see the the most pressure put on ice, where you have like the most the the most extended uh 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, they hate 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. | ||
It's funny you say that because I I've dedicated a number of pages to that in my book where in the Portland chapter, because Portland, yeah, it's number one, it's below 5% black, and even even today and historically, all the way through the 1970s, there were laws that prohibited blacks from attaining property in within Portland city limits. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And so this and actually it was a stronghold, you know, pre-World War II, uh pre-World War I, it was a stronghold for the KKK. | ||
And there were a number of um anti-Chinese uh uh riots that took place where you know fires were set and burned down uh Chinatown in Portland. | ||
So this is something that I 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 um uh Philip uh I forget his last name. | ||
He's a he's a tall black dude who who uh was a conservative um activist at the time. | ||
And uh he's standing in front of the fence saying, Don't smash into this fence, you know, the cops are just gonna come out, it's gonna make the cause worse. | ||
So you're gonna 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, you know, basically agitate the police. | ||
So Portland is definitely has done a 180 as far as their perspective on race relations and um 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, I 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. | ||
So what do you think 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 that it seems like the feds are really just intent on destroying them. | ||
What do you think their strategy is now? | ||
What do you think their goals are? | ||
Well, the you know, 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 studied the Muslim Brotherhood extensively. | ||
And ultimately it's a 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? | ||
They're literally says proud boy on their shirt. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So it's it's intentionally anonymous. | ||
a lot of the conversations about strategies uh and whatnot take place during 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 you know planning the most extreme measures like building Molotov cocktails. | ||
Uh and you know, they'll they'll do it also through uh meet and greets, you know, at their safe houses, which they have throughout the city. | ||
And so it they do operate similar to the way that a terror 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 and want to test it out. | ||
They 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 you know they can be very dangerous because you know they have a lot of energy, they're they're kind of ignorant to how these things can devolve into chaos and get really dangerous. | ||
And uh, and then there are like the you know, 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 uh 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. | ||
I mean, that's what seems to make it tricky. | ||
Obviously, Trump declared them to be a terrorist, you know, sell, 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, are some of these clubs like the John Brown gun club? | ||
Maybe do you start there? | ||
Because that seems to be a bit more formal. | ||
Yeah, we saw the John Brown John Brown gun club. | ||
That's a tongue twister, yeah, outside of doing security in Seattle at the Chaz. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
So if you guys remember, Chaz was a six-block area that the Seattle uh 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 uh checkpoints and put armed guards at those borders. | ||
And so we had a couple of encounters with members of the John Brown gun gun club. | ||
And right at my alma mater in DC, I mean DC of all places for a gun club. | ||
Yeah, but uh Georgetown in in western northwest DC, there was a flyer for the John Brown John Brown gun club uh in Red Square, which is one of the main squares in Georgetown, and it was soliciting applications. | ||
I don't, I mean, it takes like a year to get a concealed carry permit in DC. | ||
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 who's paying for the signs, who's paying to transport these people in and out? | ||
Well, the answer is they're the names are constantly changing by design. | ||
So the open, if if you follow like George Soros' 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 you know the transportation, the the signage, they'll they'll print all that stuff out. | ||
And then you have uh another level of uh agitators who are specifically you know organizing themselves in much seedier, more shadowy realms, not through the nonprofits, but they capitalize on that protest as a power vacuum. | ||
So it's it is it's it's complicated by design. | ||
And that's the 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 you know, if you arrest them, you know, you 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 you know, 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 it's it's like a a web of various nonprofits, and that's the same way that they do it in the Middle East, by the way. | ||
Dude, I mean that 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 uh stand down. | ||
I think that'd be the most gratuitous explanation of what's going on. | ||
The Portland police were certainly less confrontational than definitely in 2020, and from what I can gather, definitely right now, yeah, than any of the federal troops who come in. | ||
So at the time it was DHS surrounding the federal courthouse. | ||
And um, you know, Portland also, the Portland PD, yeah, I 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 uh police department are are very, very strict. | ||
And you know, the last thing that they want is another BLM situation where some somebody gets violent and then you know 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. | ||
I mean, what is 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. | ||
Like that's kind of how it goes. | ||
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't I don't know if I'm there. | ||
I I 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 I I I can't, I can't live like this. | ||
Yeah, it's it's crazy because I I was bumping between you know the Proud Boys during all the stuff the steal stuff, and then the counter-protesters who were in DC, and it really is it's like two completely different worlds. | ||
Yeah. | ||
The fact of the matter is is that right now the way that all the algorithms are set up on on Twitter, what whatever it is, YouTube, Instagram, meta, whatever you want to call it, uh the 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 I this has been the case in 2020 as well as now. | ||
If you say Antifa terrorist does X, you're gonna 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 I get it, but it 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 had 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 like kind of look and get the bigger picture. | ||
If you look at Jacob Blake, the shooting that that kicked off the police involved shooting that kicked off all of the riots in Kenosha, he was armed with a knife. | ||
Uh, and the video that went across social media caused the NBA to cancel games, you know, he had the entire media saying that he was shot in front of his kids, Kamala Harris said that. | ||
Uh, 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. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Uh 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 uh he was also tased previously to that, and the police had done everything they could to non-lethally subdue him. | ||
And uh he was effectively uh potentially entering that vehicle to you know kidnap the kids. | ||
So uh that that context is important, and that's not what we're getting still to this day. | ||
And that's why I appreciate you know, Tim Cast and going on there because you can talk about these things at greater length than just whatever's on your Twitter timeline. | ||
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. | ||
Because I'm like, I mean, I I I do agree, yeah, the 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 if that's created by social media, or if that's a division that already exists that's just exploited by by social media. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
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 I 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 we were using you know AOL instant messenger back then. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And like blackberries. | ||
So it's it's to a certain extent there's a spiritual sickness that pervades across uh all of these dissident and extremist groups. | ||
And it it causes them to branch out into their 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 uh less people are like doing sports and 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. | ||
Like now they're sitting playing video games shooting people. | ||
I I played Halo, but it was you know it wasn't everything that we did um it just was and and you weren't um integrated with six different devices uh at the same time so yes 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. | ||
So yeah and even like you can you can you can stop these things three years in a month couple months sorry. | ||
Right. | ||
Yeah I was checking my math yeah well it's like even 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 the issue you're addressing is really important which is I mean the the big the big and you know the big incidents have been carried out by like atomized young people and A, because they're just tapped into this on this online world that they they get that socialization bug out there. | ||
It kind of gives them this false sense of socialization and maybe that can like mask the um the the spiritual rot for like a a 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 like just the way the economy is and the and the and the uh way the the the pathways to matriculation for young adults just completely broken down. | ||
So they just really feel like they have nothing to lose. | ||
And that's a really petrifying thing. | ||
You have people with radical political ideology. | ||
That's one thing. | ||
We're used to that. | ||
Like people with radical political ideology have been around for a long time and they just kind of mind their own businesses. | ||
When they have nothing to lose, that's when it gets very worrying. | ||
That's when they snap, so to speak. | ||
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 uniparty and I would put Barack Obama having even knocked on doors for him in 2008 as an idealistic 18 year old. | ||
Yeah you know 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 uh Bush won Clinton and Bush too and then Obama you know that is actually the preconditions that created the opportunity for a Trump to actually take power. | ||
So there's 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. | ||
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 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 pre it's like they're all saying it's unprecedented. | ||
Yeah it's unprecedented how uh I guess since the gilded age we haven't had this disparity between the rich and the poor yeah and that's that's the last time that that's when the 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 was oh what 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 mole business uh in DC is not going to work among the American voters right now, especially young people. | ||
Well, and it seems like Democrats now are beholden to that same activism class that drives the uh the same sort of ideological impulses that drive Antifa. | ||
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. | ||
Yeah. | ||
There was that famous Jerry Nadler quote, oh, Antifa's myth. | ||
Yeah. | ||
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. | ||
Uh, you know, obviously there's a um uh was it Derek Reinhold in 2020. | ||
Uh there's a just basically uh uh preacher 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 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 gonna 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 DC where it's not just the country that's split between rural and urban and 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 gonna do an interview with you because you worked at the Daily Caller. | ||
Yeah, or the same thing happens in reverse. | ||
Um, and that's why I appreciate Timcast 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. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So it's true. | ||
Well, I guess one more one more question with Portland. | ||
How effective if the National Guard is able to finally deploy? | ||
How effective do you think that's gonna be letting those federal agents do their job and conduct? | ||
Do you think they're actually gonna be able to crack down on Antifa in any effective way? | ||
Because I mean, there's a lot of those guys. | ||
Well, there's a there's some factors involved. | ||
I mean, obviously, this this case that's pending that's that's was just challenged that Trump being able to even bring them in. | ||
Well, the fact of the matter is is first thing that happens is gonna be what happened in 2020, which is the 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 gonna have to match that uh from an enforcement perspective, so that they don't use to have to use the force multipliers that make things get out of control, like you know, tear gas and pepper spray, because ultimately caught 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 gonna get it under control, you really just need to make sure that your numbers in terms of enforcement are greater than what they're gonna be able to dish out in the streets on the on the other side of things. | ||
And that's where you'll see it maintain more of a peaceful posture than if you know they're they're overwhelmed and and um don't have any support from local PD and don't have any support from the local government. | ||
Well, yeah, because that's I mean, that's what uh that's what I've seen is there's like what nine, nine hundred uh federal agents that are available to even protect these buildings. | ||
So it's like 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. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
So there's like it's clearly they're antagonistic to the feds at this point. | ||
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 that's it's the same thing taking place yet again. | ||
And so it's gonna be a matter of whether or not they're able to muster the actual number of 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. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Dude, this is gonna be a wild few weeks watching this unfold. | ||
