=== Million Strong Movement (02:43) ===

[00:00:00]  Let me hear you.
[00:00:01]  Testing one, two, three, check, check, check.
[00:00:04]  It sounds good enough.
[00:00:04]  We're live anyhow.
[00:00:05]  So let's, we're gonna, we're gonna don't let perfect be the enemy of the good.
[00:00:08]  Brandon Struck, you, you crashed Rumble Studio when you came in the last time is how big of a story this is gonna be.
[00:00:16]  Uh, that's a that's a joke.
[00:00:17]  Um, but we had the Rumble Studio crashed.
[00:00:20]  Uh, there was a bit of a glitch, so we should be back.
[00:00:23]  Let me just make sure that we're live.
[00:00:24]  Let me see if we're alive across all platforms now.
[00:00:27]  Uh, if I see, okay, hold on.
[00:00:29]  There's a bit of it.
[00:00:30]  We're going to make sure.
[00:00:30]  I want to make sure that we're live on viva barnslaw.locals.com.
[00:00:35]  Okay, good.
[00:00:35]  We're live on locals.
[00:00:37]  Are we live on Rumble?
[00:00:40]  We're live on Rumble.
[00:00:41]  Let's get this party started.
[00:00:43]  Surf, starting from scratch.
[00:00:45]  How goes the battle, Brandon?
[00:00:49]  It goes.
[00:00:50]  It goes and goes.
[00:00:51]  And it is always something.
[00:00:53]  And, you know, we're hanging in there.
[00:00:56]  We're staying in the fight, doing what we do.
[00:00:58]  So now, the question for some of you, some of the audience might, I don't know, who wouldn't know who you are?
[00:01:04]  You were last on the channel or first and last on the channel years ago now.
[00:01:09]  Do you remember when it was?
[00:01:11]  Post-COVID, pre-2024.
[00:01:14]  For those who don't know who you are, you've got a pretty amazing story.
[00:01:17]  Let everybody know.
[00:01:19]  Yeah.
[00:01:20]  So in 2018, I started an organization and a political movement called the hashtag Walkaway Campaign.
[00:01:27]  We're the largest national movement of former Democrats walking away from the Democratic Party.
[00:01:32]  At this point, we've grown to over a million people have joined the movement.
[00:01:35]  Over 100,000 people have shared their walkaway testimonials with us.
[00:01:39]  We go to colleges.
[00:01:41]  We go to minority communities, Black, Hispanic, LGBT, et cetera.
[00:01:46]  And we do events all over the country, basically trying to spread and grow our awakening for people to start thinking for themselves, walk away from tribalism, the high-mindedness, the indoctrination from the mainstream media, mainstream education, et cetera, and basically walk away from the political left and the Democratic Party.
[00:02:10]  And amazingly successful as a movement.
[00:02:13]  Everybody knows what Walkaway is.
[00:02:14]  I just don't think most people know that you literally created it.
[00:02:19]  I looked, I just asked Grock.
[00:02:21]  You were on the channel.
[00:02:23]  It was, and now I've lost my page here.
[00:02:25]  It was in June 5th, 2022.
[00:02:28]  So my goodness, it's three and a half, four years now.
[00:02:31]  And we did talk about January 6th because you were one of the, you were one of the victims of January 6th, along with a shit ton of other people, but you were persecuted under January 6th as well.

=== Disorderly Conduct Charges (02:24) ===

[00:02:44]  Yeah, I was arrested and charged for being outside of the Capitol outside on the Capitol grounds on January 6th.
[00:02:55]  And I mean, we went over it in detail then.
[00:02:56]  We don't have to go over it now.
[00:02:58]  You quite literally, I say, did nothing illegal, except when the law says you did something, it becomes a fact.
[00:03:03]  There were rumors that you were, what were the rumors that you were, that you not hit somebody?
[00:03:08]  Was it you who took a shield or they said you took a shield or pulled on a shield or something?
[00:03:12]  No.
[00:03:14]  The rumors were that I witnessed somebody take a shield from an officer and that I shouted, take it, take it.
[00:03:22]  That's right.
[00:03:22]  Okay.
[00:03:23]  Which didn't happen.
[00:03:24]  I didn't see anybody take, I didn't even see any officers.
[00:03:28]  There was only one officer present on the east side of the building for just a few seconds.
[00:03:35]  And I was shooting a video and my video captured a moment where the officer was walking through the crowd and somebody grabbed his shield and you can hear a voice in the crowd shout, take it, take it.
[00:03:46]  And the FBI said that that was me and decided that that was a felony crime.
[00:03:51]  And so they charged me with a felony for allegedly doing that.
[00:03:56]  What did you end up ultimately pleading to?
[00:03:59]  Well, I pled to a misdemeanor for disorderly conduct, but it wasn't just like when they told me that I could take a misdemeanor plea deal and plead the disorderly conduct, I wasn't okay with it because I didn't commit a crime on January 6th and I didn't do anything wrong.
[00:04:20]  But given that I was going up against the government, I felt like, okay, I can.
[00:04:25]  That seems like the most livable situation to me.
[00:04:27]  But what I didn't realize when I pled guilty was that that meant that I would also have to, I would have to sign the government statement of offense, which included all of the things that they lied about.
[00:04:40]  So they lied about, you know, that I witnessed this shield being taken from an officer and that I shouted, take it, take it, that I knew the grounds were restricted, but I went on the grounds anyway, that I went there that day with the intention of disrupting Congress.
[00:04:54]  It just, the entire story was a lie.
[00:04:57]  So it wasn't really like, I don't know, I think I initially viewed it as like, okay, I'm basically a professional political activist and, you know, it's a disorderly conduct charge.

=== Signing Government Lies (06:28) ===

[00:05:08]  Like, who cares?
[00:05:11]  But they made me say I did all these things that I didn't do.
[00:05:15]  And the things that they alleged were then, they were kind of like vague and ambiguous.
[00:05:20]  So then the left-wing media, I mean, to this day, literally as recently as just a few days ago, articles are still put out saying Strzok, who pled guilty to going to the Capitol and helping attack police officers.
[00:05:32]  Like that's how they frame it.
[00:05:34]  Well, no, for sure.
[00:05:35]  And they can, it's not denying plausible deniability.
[00:05:38]  It's technically correct.
[00:05:40]  And it's the same thing that they've done with Adam Johnson, the lectern guy.
[00:05:43]  It's, it's, you know, when I interviewed James O'Keefe, and it was his life lesson of pleading.
[00:05:48]  Well, no, sorry, what was it?
[00:05:49]  The bearing false witness to himself and saying, yeah, I'm going to agree to this just to get this off my back.
[00:05:53]  For those of you out there who don't understand, they make you sign a statement of fact, an agreed statement of fact with your plea deal.
[00:05:59]  And they can include facts in there for which you haven't been convicted, which you haven't pled guilty to, but they're damning facts.
[00:06:04]  So the media then go says, oh, yeah, you admitted to X, Y, and Z.
[00:06:08]  I don't even think Adam Johnson, Lectern guy, admitted to stealing the lectern, but people use the fact that he pleaded to, you know, to avoid four or five years of persecution as evidence of guilt when it was weaponized from the get-go.
[00:06:23]  And so you go through this.
[00:06:25]  You are a former liberal Democrat.
[00:06:28]  You walk away.
[00:06:29]  You join.
[00:06:31]  Call it MAGA.
[00:06:31]  I don't even know what the fuck it means anymore.
[00:06:33]  And to me now, it's used like a cudgel, not a welcoming term.
[00:06:38]  You're not MAGA.
[00:06:39]  You're not MAGA.
[00:06:40]  So therefore, you're whatever.
[00:06:42]  You join.
[00:06:43]  You are, I say instrumental.
[00:06:46]  You are, if not instrumental, part of a meaningful movement, a coalition, not just the big canopy that captures people, the rabble that you don't want, part of a coalition that leads to Trump getting re-elected in 2024 and arguably, but not arguably, elected in 2020, but stolen.
[00:07:02]  You get involved in January 6th.
[00:07:04]  And I don't think people fully appreciate that you became persona non-grata with the very movement that you joined happily, that you were happily welcomed into, and then totally set aside like dirty garbage.
[00:07:17]  Yeah, no, that's that's pretty accurate.
[00:07:20]  And look, I'm going to, I think you're kind of, you know, you, well, I'm going to just, you know, say I was very instrumental in Trump getting re-elected.
[00:07:31]  I mean, hugely so.
[00:07:33]  I can verifiably prove that hundreds of thousands of people joined walkaway after I started it because we have their stories.
[00:07:42]  They, they're on the internet.
[00:07:44]  People can either go to our Facebook group or our YouTube channel.
[00:07:48]  And these people left the left because of the work that my me and my organization do.
[00:07:56]  And then they decided to go out and vote for Donald Trump when they would not have done that before.
[00:08:01]  And that is because of the work that we do and the outreach that we've done.
[00:08:06]  And so, I mean, it's not like, you know, me having some sort of inflated sense of importance or anything.
[00:08:14]  It just literally is what it is.
[00:08:15]  I mean, that's factually what my organization has done and what I have done.
[00:08:20]  And why we have never really been.
[00:08:24]  recognized or acknowledged, I don't know.
[00:08:27]  I'll never know.
[00:08:28]  I think people who have been following what we're doing don't understand it.
[00:08:32]  It's kind of interesting because I came on the scene.
[00:08:36]  I came on the scene several years after Charlie Kirk did.
[00:08:40]  And Turning Point USA is probably four or five years older than we are.
[00:08:47]  But it's kind of like a tale of two organizations.
[00:08:51]  And we couldn't possibly have been treated more differently.
[00:08:54]  When I look at like Turning Point USA and how they were so embraced by the administration and like Donald Trump spoke at every turning point event and all of the administration and all the people go and they participate and stuff.
[00:09:08]  And Walkaway, which has been, again, I think so influential and so instrumental in helping the Trump administration.
[00:09:18]  I mean, it's just been nonstop us being told no, not invited, not included, not, and it's, it's, it's bizarre.
[00:09:27]  But yeah, in addition to that, you know, we kept going.
[00:09:30]  We, we kind of just continued to take it on the chin and keep doing our work and our, just, you know, just fighting because it was never, walkaway was never supposed to be about, you know, one administration or or or the Republican Party or about getting Trump reelected.
[00:09:50]  But, you know, it always was very hurtful.
[00:09:52]  I think not for whatever reason that we were being treated the way we are being treated.
[00:09:57]  But yeah, I was singled out to be prosecuted on January 6th.
[00:10:05]  I don't mean singled out as in the only one.
[00:10:07]  I mean, other people were, but I am one of the only people who didn't go inside the building.
[00:10:13]  And even the government was very, very clear that they were doing to me what they were doing to me because of my organization, my influence, and that, you know, I have a lot of people listening to me, et cetera.
[00:10:27]  And so when I got in trouble and then a lot of people in the conservative movement kind of turned their backs on me, it was shocking because a lot of those people, as I mentioned in my CPAC speech, were clamoring to be in my spotlight, you know, when things, when there wasn't trouble.
[00:10:48]  But as soon as trouble arrived, you know, a lot of these people kind of scattered like rats.
[00:10:55]  What's interesting is like it's people might look and say, I don't know if they want to say that there's some sort of personal grievance.
[00:11:04]  There is and there should be to the extent that you arguably, but not arguably were likely persecuted by the Biden administration because you were an apostate.
[00:11:12]  And those are the worst types.
[00:11:14]  You know, they can punish the Jan Sixers who were always supporters, but an apostate needs to be particularly punished.
[00:11:20]  You get punished.
[00:11:22]  You continue to support Trump actively and vocally into 2024, where the promises were retribution and retribution, not in a vengeful, unjust way, but retribution for the January 6th persecution, retribution against deep state actors.

=== Punishing Political Apostates (02:54) ===

[00:11:37]  And it was a meme for the first year of the presidency where, you know, what has Pan Bondi done?
[00:11:41]  Zero rest, zero, yada, yada.
[00:11:42]  And we were all told to sit down, shut up and wait.
[00:11:45]  Don't be a panican.
[00:11:46]  Don't be a black pillar.
[00:11:47]  Don't be a doom pillar.
[00:11:48]  Shut up and wait, shut up and wait.
[00:11:49]  It's March 2026.
[00:11:51]  Midterms are around the corner.
[00:11:53]  There has been literally, maybe not zero because what's his face?
[00:11:58]  Mustache man.
[00:11:59]  Bolton is facing charges.
[00:12:01]  Maybe not zero because Comey faced a charge.
[00:12:04]  There's been zero done for the Russia gate, zero done to punish any of the people who were responsible for the Jan 6 persecution.
[00:12:10]  And instead, we are now, people are now being told, if you don't shut up and support another foreign war, another regime change, which seems to run contrary to what the folks like you were running, were supporting.
[00:12:23]  You're an idiot.
[00:12:24]  You're an apostate now.
[00:12:26]  And you didn't realize that you were actually voting for what you think you were not voting for at the time.
[00:12:31]  When you were supporting Trump and you represent the big organization, was it your understanding that this, you know, this is what you're getting, but was it your understanding that this is what you would be voting for when it came to foreign policy?
[00:12:46]  Well, so, okay.
[00:12:49]  Let's before I answer that, let's start off by, I think, sort of acknowledging how things have changed so much since, you know, now I didn't vote for Trump the first time around.
[00:12:59]  I voted for Hillary Clinton back in 2016, but I came around very quickly.
[00:13:03]  I mean, it was literally by 2017, I had walked away from the Democratic Party and then eventually, you know, came on board with Trump and MAGA.
[00:13:10]  And so I was very much a part of MAGA 1.0 from 2017, 2018, 2019, you know, through 2020.
[00:13:19]  And then I came on the scene as the leader of the Walkway movement and somebody who started Walkway in 2018.
[00:13:27]  I can tell you that the first MAGA go route is completely different and felt completely different than it does in every conceivable way than it does today.
[00:13:40]  To answer your question more specifically, I thought that when Trump got back into office, I took for granted that all of the things that he had been a little bit soft on the first time around, he was not going to be soft on for two reasons.
[00:13:57]  One, it's his second and final term.
[00:14:00]  So he doesn't at this point really even have to appeal to a base to try to get re-elected.
[00:14:05]  But second of all, and most logically, I would think that there would be a sense of fury and a sense of vengeance based off the fact that they dragged this man into court, convicted him of 30-some felony charges, indicted him on 90-some felony charges, shot him in the head, raided his home, tried to civilly destroy his organization and his business,

=== Fury Over Convictions (15:38) ===

[00:14:32]  and that he witnessed some of his most loyal followers have their lives destroyed through the very public January 6th spectacle.
[00:14:42]  So I took for granted that items number one, two, three, four, five, whatever were going to be him going in like a bull in a china shop and absolutely demanding that the FBI, the DOJ,
[00:14:58]  any of these three letter agencies be stripped bare, you know, and absolutely drive out all of the bad actors in government and that there would then be accountability and justice for the people who did these things to him, his family, and his most loyal supporters.
[00:15:16]  And not to mention, you know, on a more, you know, kind of tertiary sort of side peripheral, the things like, you know, Mark Zuckerberg deplatformed hundreds of thousands of Trump's supporters.
[00:15:34]  And now he has a position in the administration.
[00:15:38]  None of those people have been re-platformed.
[00:15:40]  None of those people, you know, it wasn't just, you know, people playing around on Facebook.
[00:15:43]  People lost their businesses.
[00:15:45]  You know, people who had businesses that were powered by their Facebook accounts are gone.
[00:15:51]  These are some of Trump's most loyal supporters.
[00:15:53]  And now Mark Zuckerberg, you know, he's rewarded by being invited to the inauguration.
[00:15:59]  He's constantly being invited to the White House and now he has a position in the administration.
[00:16:04]  Meanwhile, all the people who supported Donald Trump have lost their accounts, their online businesses, and nothing is said about that.
[00:16:12]  It's just like, what the hell is going on?
[00:16:14]  Well, when you say it out loud, and I'm saying, what the hell is going on myself?
[00:16:20]  Like people out there are going to say, all you do is complain.
[00:16:23]  Well, first of all, they can say whatever they want.
[00:16:27]  First of all, you don't get better through not having constructive criticism.
[00:16:31]  You want to, for the snow, the people who have been complaining about the participation trophy generation for the last 10 years, now saying all you do is complain.
[00:16:40]  First of all, it's kind of the burden you bear when you're in power.
[00:16:44]  You're going to face criticism and you're going to, and some of it will be fair.
[00:16:47]  Some of it will not be fair and some of it will be constructive.
[00:16:49]  When it's coming from the base that voted for you, you can presume it's not destructive criticism.
[00:16:55]  And you can also not be able to just get out of answering to it by saying all you do is complain.
[00:17:00]  How in the name of sweet holy hell is it, you know, the relationship with what's his face?
[00:17:05]  Albert Burla, Hunky Dory.
[00:17:07]  Albert Burla is almost would be less of a betrayal.
[00:17:09]  I say less.
[00:17:10]  Those who are injured by the jab would say no than Zuckerberg, who admitted to what he did, who impacted an election, destroyed people's lives.
[00:17:18]  And now in the week that Meta was found liable, civilly liable, $353 million for not protecting children, for harming them, gets invited to the White House.
[00:17:29]  What do you make of it?
[00:17:30]  Like, how do you make sense of it?
[00:17:32]  I don't, I, I can't.
[00:17:34]  Like, I cannot understand what is happening.
[00:17:37]  And I will address, you know, this whole thing about, you know, taking criticism.
[00:17:45]  That started for me about, excuse me, about a year ago from people within the MAGA movement.
[00:17:53]  And it started for a variety of reasons.
[00:17:55]  One, you know, I've always been very honest and vocal about my opinions, whether they're popular or not.
[00:18:03]  And so I was expressing, you know, a lot of frustration and a lot of dissatisfaction from the fact that not enough was happening.
[00:18:13]  I saw very clearly that Kash Patel and Dan Bongino were not going in there and cleaning out the FBI.
[00:18:21]  They were not doing the things that they were going to do.
[00:18:23]  Pam Bonnie was not advancing any sort of justice or anything for the people who went through these various things.
[00:18:31]  And I was commenting on that and I started getting the negative feedback.
[00:18:35]  But I also started calling out people in the movement, you know, and one of the people that I called out was Scott Pressler.
[00:18:42]  And the response that I got when I did it wasn't, it wasn't rational and it wasn't, you know, even just like, oh, I don't like this or whatever.
[00:18:56]  It was personal.
[00:18:58]  It was nasty.
[00:18:59]  And it was, it, it instantaneously reminded me of the behavior of the left that caused me to leave the left.
[00:19:07]  So suddenly I had people on the right or within the MAGA movement or whatever saying things to me like, you're just bitter.
[00:19:15]  You're just jealous.
[00:19:16]  You've never done anything.
[00:19:18]  What have you ever done?
[00:19:20]  Why don't you go accomplish something?
[00:19:22]  Once you accomplish something, you can criticize other people.
[00:19:26]  And I start going like, okay, did these people just join MAGA like yesterday?
[00:19:31]  Like that's like, you know, fine.
[00:19:33]  Like if you don't have an appreciation for what I do or they've like whatever, but you're retarded if you think I've done nothing.
[00:19:42]  I mean, I can verifiably show you that I have crossed the country about 50 times from coast to coast, going into almost every state and nation, going into colleges and continuing to go and do open mic debates at colleges, even after Charlie Kirk was shot.
[00:19:58]  We have a college tour in Wisconsin.
[00:20:00]  We'll be there in less than two weeks, doing five college dates.
[00:20:04]  And we have colleges all across the country.
[00:20:06]  We're continuing to do this, even as other people are canceling because of what happened to Charlie.
[00:20:10]  We keep going.
[00:20:12]  I have done hundreds of events all over the country, going into liberal strongholds in the black community, Hispanic community, LGBT community.
[00:20:20]  I have hundreds, I have tens of thousands, up to 100,000 testimonials that we have in the walk away from people who have left the left because of the work that we do.
[00:20:30]  And now I have people in the MAGA movement saying, who are you?
[00:20:32]  What have you ever done?
[00:20:34]  And I'm like, this is nuts.
[00:20:36]  And it's very leftist behavior.
[00:20:39]  This is not like the same sort of energy I used to feel from MAGA 1.0.
[00:20:44]  I don't know what's happened.
[00:20:45]  I don't know why we have some of the nastiest and most vicious people who have become the spokespeople for the MAGA movement and that this seems to be condoned and appreciated by leadership in the administration.
[00:20:58]  It just, in every conceivable way, it feels completely different than it felt the first time around.
[00:21:03]  And a lot of people are feeling betrayed.
[00:21:06]  A lot of people are feeling abandoned and forgotten.
[00:21:09]  A lot of people are feeling just like they don't understand what has happened.
[00:21:15]  And so for all of those nasty people out there who just want to be reactionary and attack anybody who's asking questions or expressing very legitimate anger and frustration because of the blood, sweat, and tears that we have put into this for many, many years to try to get us to the point where we could end up in a position where we have Trump back in office.
[00:21:37]  I got to tell you, you know, you people are doing more and more to repel people from the movement by behaving this way when what you should be doing is actually listening and understanding that there's a reason why people are feeling this way and we should be having these conversations, not like attacking and judging people for saying it.
[00:21:55]  No, first of all, I want to address one thing here, which says Chinese trolls trying to divide.
[00:22:00]  First of all, I know some of these people personally, like they're real people.
[00:22:03]  They're not Chinese trolls.
[00:22:04]  Secondly, I didn't mean to set this stream up on YouTube.
[00:22:08]  I meant to set it up on X.
[00:22:09]  And I, through Stream Yard, unfortunately only set it up on YouTube, Rumble, and locals.
[00:22:13]  And I didn't want to set it up on YouTube.
[00:22:15]  Whatever.
[00:22:16]  We're seeing it in real time.
[00:22:18]  Like they are literally excluding and willfully people from what they call MAGA and saying, this is what happens when the tent gets too big.
[00:22:27]  And I keep trying to say, like, you, the 2024 election was won on a coalition of Tulsi Gabbard bringing her base, RFK Jr. being Maha base.
[00:22:37]  And you don't get to tell people forever just to sit down and shut up.
[00:22:41]  It's okay.
[00:22:42]  First of all, the same people telling everyone to sit down and shut up when it comes to Iran are oddly silent when it comes to the glyphosate immunity executive order that Trump signed because they don't like that.
[00:22:52]  You got the Laura Loomers who are saying, you know, inviting Zuckerberg to the White House is a slap in the face to MAGA.
[00:22:58]  But if you don't support the war in Iran, you're not MAGA.
[00:23:02]  And what's weird is people don't appreciate that 2024 was won on a coalition.
[00:23:08]  And this is not addition by subtraction by not listening to the legitimate, not even grievances, the legitimate constructive criticism of some of the people who have been the most ardent supporters.
[00:23:18]  And I'm saying this a little bit from a self-interested perspective, as you can see above me.
[00:23:22]  You know, when term two came around and we gave Pan Bondi a solid six months, maybe, you know, when it went out, it started going downhill with the Epstein debacle.
[00:23:32]  And then people like Viva, you know, stop complaining about the Epstein debacle.
[00:23:36]  No, I'm not doing a 180 on the Epstein situation.
[00:23:38]  And I'm not going to say what she did to those so-called influencers was anything less than incompetence or sabotage, but you criticize that and they say, no, no, we're in power and we're going to stay in power if everybody just shuts up and doesn't say anything about the failures of this administration to do what it promised to do.
[00:23:55]  And you're one of the most personally aggrieved that there hasn't been any justice on January 6th whatsoever.
[00:24:01]  Not only that, some of the same malicious prosecutors are still working there, Jocelyn Ballantyne.
[00:24:06]  And 99% of the corrupt FBI that did this to people are still in that very same FBI.
[00:24:12]  Yeah.
[00:24:13]  And some of them were even promoted to positions of having even more power and more influence within the agency.
[00:24:20]  And, you know, there's one thing that I know for certain about a lot of the people in this administration, including Dan Bongino, including Kash Patel, is that they're very, very concerned about what people say about them on X. They're very worried about their social media reputations.
[00:24:36]  And so I know for a fact that there's very little that is said about them that they don't see or that they're not reading.
[00:24:45]  And I have a very large X account and I put out several posts about the FBI agent named Jeremy Dessor, who concocted my case.
[00:24:55]  He's the one who manufactured details that were not true and were not real, which ended up getting me arrested and justified them putting me in jail, putting felony charges on me and getting me to confess to a misdemeanor, which I didn't commit.
[00:25:12]  And I named him by name and I asked repeatedly, why does he still have his job at the FBI?
[00:25:19]  And I tagged Cash and I tagged Dan and I put the post out multiple times.
[00:25:27]  And each time it got tens of thousands of reposts, hundreds of thousands of views, probably millions of views.
[00:25:34]  There is a 0% chance that these guys missed it.
[00:25:37]  0% chance.
[00:25:38]  And this guy was allowed to keep his job up until just a few months ago.
[00:25:43]  And the only reason he ended up losing his job is because they were able to connect him to Arctic Frost and that he was one of the act, you know, one of the corrupt actors in the Arctic Frost debacle with President Trump, which again, only further proves that exactly what I suspected about him, that he was some sort of leftist lunatic, abusing his power within the FBI was always true.
[00:26:13]  But they didn't care.
[00:26:14]  They didn't care when it happened to Brandon Strzok.
[00:26:16]  They didn't care when it happened to the guy who brought hundreds of thousands of new voters to the Republican Party, which helped contribute to this administration getting elected so they could have the jobs that they have.
[00:26:27]  They cared when they were able to connect it to President Trump.
[00:26:30]  But for every person who is not directly connected to President Trump or some sort of case that they actually are interested in, yeah, all of these people are keeping their jobs.
[00:26:42]  Some of them are getting promotions.
[00:26:44]  And someday when President Trump is not in office and Republicans don't have power, all of these people are going to continue to have their jobs in the CIA, the FBI, the DHS, the Department of Justice, whatever else.
[00:26:59]  And they're going to be able to do whatever they want.
[00:27:01]  In fact, I would say they're going to be more emboldened because they're going to realize that when Republicans have power, they don't do anything anyway.
[00:27:07]  So they might as well go as far as they want to go.
[00:27:11]  That's also what people fail to truly appreciate is the criticism is almost self-preservation criticism.
[00:27:18]  If they get back into power, they will impeach everyone in this administration and they won't stop like they well, they won't stop the last, like they did the last time because they won't, you know, they might be able to keep power in 2028.
[00:27:30]  Brendan, give me one second.
[00:27:31]  My dog needs to leave the office here.
[00:27:32]  Yeah, go, Okay, sorry about that.
[00:27:38]  Don't want to get out of the office.
[00:27:40]  Um, let me just recalibrate my camera.
[00:27:43]  There we go.
[00:27:43]  No, it drives me nuts because it's like they think the problem will go away by the absence of people remarking on the problems.
[00:27:52]  And the idea that they think or that you can win a coalition by pushing out the coalition, we 100% of MAGA now supports X, Y, and Z because we've excluded the 50% of MAGA that didn't is subtraction through subtraction, not addition through subtraction.
[00:28:08]  I just don't think they understand what the hell that's going to hit them if they lose the midterms as badly as is now looking likely.
[00:28:15]  And if they lose 2028, some people are going to end up end up in the jail that they were trying to put them in before 2024.
[00:28:21]  And instead, what I can hear people saying, Brandon's just butt hurt because he's not getting the credit he wants.
[00:28:26]  First of all, I don't know what your motivations are.
[00:28:28]  It doesn't matter if that is your motivation.
[00:28:30]  What you're saying is going to be practical reality nonetheless, if you are in fact accurate that people are leaving this coalition and it's going to hurt MAGA.
[00:28:40]  Well, what's so funny to me is that, like, you know, for the people who say things like that, or the type of criticism that you're saying, I know who these people are in real life.
[00:28:50]  I mean, not literally, but I know the personality profile.
[00:28:54]  These are always the thinnest skinned people, the most intolerant people.
[00:28:59]  If what was happening to me or happening to countless other people was happening to them, they probably wouldn't even have survived it, let alone just be like, they wouldn't be sitting here today and being like, oh, well, it's my duty and my obligation to just keep my mouth shut and support this administration no matter what.
[00:29:17]  These are the people who would be screaming from the rooftops for justice for themselves.
[00:29:22]  But they're not the kind of people who ever put themselves in any harm's way.
[00:29:26]  They never put themselves in danger.
[00:29:28]  They never put themselves at risk.
[00:29:29]  They never go outside and help with anything.
[00:29:32]  They don't knock doors.
[00:29:33]  They don't show up to do anything.
[00:29:35]  They just go on social media and criticize other people who do things.
[00:29:41]  So I don't give a, I don't care what any of these people have to say because they are literally the lowest common denominator of our movement.
[00:29:50]  They contribute nothing.
[00:29:54]  They're just a very empty, meaningless peanut gallery there to criticize anybody who actually is courageous, actually brave, actually does things, actually effective, actually gets results.
[00:30:08]  You know, these people mean nothing to me.

=== Toxic Social Media Critics (14:36) ===

[00:30:10]  Now, in your CPAC speech, well, first of all, you mentioned earlier, you know, some of the most toxic voices have been elevated.
[00:30:17]  I'm not sure if I want to ask for names because I don't like to get into that.
[00:30:20]  You know who they are.
[00:30:21]  We all know who they are.
[00:30:22]  I mean, now, in your speech at CPAC, you did mention when you got blacklisted, blackballed, excommunicated after January 6th, the only two people who had you on at the time, I didn't take offense, by the way, Brandon, was Tucker Carlson and Mark Levin.
[00:30:39]  No, no, no, I'm joking.
[00:30:42]  No, no, I know.
[00:30:42]  But you said, I'm just making this because it's a funny joke where you said Mark Levin, Tucker Carlson both showed you, you know, I say love, respect, decency.
[00:30:52]  And now you're being told if you're not on one side or the other, you know, one side is the enemy of the other.
[00:30:58]  When I, you know, you said some of the nastier voices in the movement, the weird thing is, my experience with Mark Levin has never been personal.
[00:31:05]  It's only been social media.
[00:31:07]  He, in my view, is one of the most toxic voices of pitting everybody good versus evil.
[00:31:13]  If you dare question Iran, if you, if you don't even, not only if you associate with Megan Kelly, Candace Owen Star, but if you don't actively disavow them.
[00:31:22]  And that to me is the problem in the movement: this idea that if they don't like what you're saying right now, they treat you exactly the same way the, you know, the left treated others.
[00:31:34]  When I came to America, it was under the Biden administration.
[00:31:37]  I was doing a whole hell of a lot of, I would say, criticism.
[00:31:39]  It wasn't constructive criticism because the Democrats needed to get out of power, but everyone's like, oh, we, you know, Viva, you're Canadian.
[00:31:45]  We love you, yada, yada.
[00:31:46]  And then the second you say, like, you know, maybe the war in Iran's not the greatest thing.
[00:31:49]  They're like, go back to Canada, you fucking Canuck or you, you pussy.
[00:31:52]  It is, it's the exact same things that I saw from the other side.
[00:31:56]  And so my only question is, is it something inherent to human nature?
[00:31:59]  Is it something inherent to what happens when the party comes into power?
[00:32:02]  And I'm, you know, it's probably a little bit of A and a little bit of B that when you're not in power, everybody loves criticism and free speech.
[00:32:09]  And then when you're in power, criticism and free speech is a threat to your power.
[00:32:14]  But this is going to cost them the power.
[00:32:17]  And then it's going to be all held to pay when the Democrats come back in, depending on how much they come back in in the midterms.
[00:32:25]  Yes.
[00:32:25]  Well, I do think it's pieces of those things that you said, but I also think one of the biggest problems that we always have on the conservative side of the aisle is that we're always in a defensive position.
[00:32:40]  Even when we're in power, we're always in a defensive position.
[00:32:44]  We're always reacting.
[00:32:46]  We never get to a point where we're the ones causing them to have to react or be defensive or they're always a step ahead of us.
[00:32:57]  And so we're always reacting from a place of desperation.
[00:33:01]  And because we're always reacting from a place of desperation, our base, that's what sort of motivates them to take voices like yours or voices like mine or whoever and say, stop it, stop it, stop criticizing, stop saying negative things, stop reflecting the movement in a bad light.
[00:33:21]  Right now, we all need to just be saying positive things and we all need to just stay unified and we all need to support whatever's going on.
[00:33:29]  And that's because if we don't do that, then the left is going to do this.
[00:33:32]  And I'm like, no, because this is what has allowed corruption to always take place.
[00:33:39]  And I've seen it at multiple levels.
[00:33:42]  I've seen it at an influencer level.
[00:33:44]  I've seen it at an administrative level.
[00:33:46]  I've seen it at a governmental level.
[00:33:49]  I've seen the most toxic, ruthless, morally depraved, sociopathic people fail straight to the top in politics because we're never allowed to talk about anything that goes on inside of our movement.
[00:34:09]  We're never allowed to criticize anyone.
[00:34:11]  We're never allowed to tell the truth about anything because the narrative is always, oh my God, we're losing.
[00:34:16]  We're losing.
[00:34:17]  So don't talk about our side.
[00:34:19]  Just talk about the other side.
[00:34:20]  Just talk about the other side.
[00:34:21]  And while we're not allowed to talk about our side, all of the corrupt and bad people on our side are allowed to continue to attain more and more power and control to the point where then everything just implodes.
[00:34:34]  And that's where we're at right now.
[00:34:35]  We're at a breaking point because people who've been watching this happen for years have had it.
[00:34:40]  We've had it.
[00:34:41]  We've had enough.
[00:34:42]  We're sick of it.
[00:34:43]  We're sick of having to be quiet.
[00:34:45]  We're sick of letting all the toxic people win.
[00:34:48]  We've had it.
[00:34:49]  And now it's breaking.
[00:34:51]  What's amazing is, so you know, I used to be a lawyer and it's one of the anecdotes I share is I had a lot of restaurant clients for whatever the reason.
[00:34:58]  And the one thing one of them said to me, I never forgot it, is the worst thing that you can have is an unhappy client who doesn't tell you because they'll just simply never come back.
[00:35:07]  You'll never know why.
[00:35:09]  You're going to think everything is good because you never hear any negative constructive feedback.
[00:35:12]  And then somehow you go bankrupt because you have no clients left.
[00:35:15]  And it's the exact same thing with this.
[00:35:17]  Like people think that by, I say intimidating is not the right word, but it might be getting close given some of the tactics that by bullying people into silence, I'm not even an influencer.
[00:35:28]  Consider it that way, but the spokespeople, the people who have a platform, didn't get there by not uh, by having bad insights or not representing uh, what people are saying.
[00:35:36]  They think.
[00:35:36]  By getting you to shut up or getting you to, you know, get so disaffected you just leave that.
[00:35:41]  It's going to change the sentiment of the people.
[00:35:43]  What I love is that there's some people who say the so-called influencers are telling people what to think, as opposed to filtering upwards what they currently do think, and you can silence the one bigger bullhorn and think that you've somehow convinced the masses, when they're just simply going to stop coming back to the restaurant for dinner and you're going to go bankrupt and you're not going to have any idea why.
[00:36:03]  A hundred percent, yeah.
[00:36:05]  And the best example of that in like real world example is what happened to the left in 2016, the, the complete shock that Hillary Clinton didn't win the election and it was all because the left tried to completely control the narrative.
[00:36:22]  They tried to silence and uh, you know uh, censor and deplatform people who criticize uh and anybody who who expressed like, uh, you know, I think Trump might actually win, or whatever.
[00:36:36]  They went on this like mass, you know, canceling uh bandwagon and all this stuff.
[00:36:41]  And then everyone woke up on election day was like, oh my god, how did she not win?
[00:36:45]  Oh my god, what happened?
[00:36:47]  I don't understand.
[00:36:47]  She was supposed to win by 97.
[00:36:50]  He had a three percent chance of winning.
[00:36:51]  I don't understand because they they started believing all the fake polls.
[00:36:55]  They started believing all the fake information.
[00:36:58]  They filtered out any conversations where anyone was like raising a flag and being like, guys, I think we've got a problem over here, like they wouldn't let anybody dissent or talk whatever, and then they all got completely shocked and the same thing is about to happen to our side.
[00:37:12]  The exact same thing, because they want to.
[00:37:15]  they want to shut everybody up who's trying to raise a flag and be like, we got a problem, you guys.
[00:37:21]  And we got to talk about this problem.
[00:37:22]  Like, and by the way, you know, yeah, I don't like the way you're treating me.
[00:37:26]  And I don't really, I'm not like feeling great about like the vibes, but I do want our side to win.
[00:37:33]  I do want our side to be successful.
[00:37:35]  Like anybody who's raising a flag right now isn't doing it to be a doomer or to, or to be like, you know, to just to cause a problem.
[00:37:45]  They're doing it because they want our side to win.
[00:37:49]  No, first of all, the fact that you connected back to 2016 is actually perfect and I feel stupid for not even making that connection.
[00:37:57]  But it's like.
[00:37:57]  There's like the burger's undercooked, i'm not going to eat it, and if you tell me to shut up about the burger being undercooked, i'm still not going to eat it.
[00:38:04]  That person's not going to eat it, and then you're going to be left with nobody buying the burgers.
[00:38:08]  What, what a lot of them I find have been banking on is is true, but it's not compelling, which is you have to.
[00:38:15]  Regardless of all of your grievances, you still have to vote Republican because the Democrats it'll be much under, the Democrats it'll be much worse, and they're right.
[00:38:23]  That will work to get the people who are still showing up to vote to vote a certain way.
[00:38:28]  That doesn't get the people you need to get to show up to vote, to vote period, let alone that way.
[00:38:33]  So like yeah, shut up, the burgers cooked fine, you're not getting people off the street who are going to rush in and buy.
[00:38:38]  You know, buy your burgers Anymore.
[00:38:40]  And that seems to be what they're banking on instead of actually following through on the biggest of the campaign promises for which there has been zilch done.
[00:38:50]  And it's primarily the Department of Justice, I think, that's letting everybody down.
[00:38:53]  And now, and now the foreign policy.
[00:38:55]  I don't want to address one thing, though.
[00:38:57]  People say it can't all be negative and you should give credit where credit's due.
[00:39:00]  And we do.
[00:39:00]  I mean, first of all, I know you do, Brandon.
[00:39:02]  I do as well.
[00:39:03]  The border is the greatest success that probably saved the country on its face.
[00:39:07]  You can ride that into the midterms.
[00:39:08]  It'll only go so far, but it's yes, absolutely.
[00:39:11]  Crime is down.
[00:39:12]  You can argue as to why, who's responsible, FBI or state law enforcement.
[00:39:17]  That being said, now you're at a reality where you have groups like your own, the coalitions, the Maha who feel violated.
[00:39:25]  That executive order is enough to make someone feel like they've been lied to.
[00:39:28]  And I'm not saying they have.
[00:39:29]  If they feel that way, that's enough.
[00:39:31]  And so what do they do?
[00:39:33]  What do you do to course correct?
[00:39:34]  And is there even enough time between now and November?
[00:39:41]  Yes, I would say the answer is yes.
[00:39:42]  There's probably time, but it would require a massive turnaround and people would have to believe in it too.
[00:39:50]  Because there's, you know, there is such a thing as, look, look how devastating it was when all of those influencers got invited to the White House to hold the fake Epstein binders, right?
[00:40:01]  Like, I think that was one of the first things that happened that made people go, what are they?
[00:40:07]  Yeah, what are they doing?
[00:40:08]  And like, well, and it just, it was so disrespectful to all of us, like, like that we're, that we're this stupid that we're going to somehow be play.
[00:40:19]  I don't know what they were trying to do.
[00:40:20]  I don't get it at all.
[00:40:21]  I still don't get it.
[00:40:22]  But my point is that like now our antennas are up, you know, and so you can't just start telling us stuff that you think we want to hear.
[00:40:31]  And like, we've got to believe it.
[00:40:34]  We've got to actually believe that you get it and that we're all on the same page once again.
[00:40:40]  So it would require a massive, I think, shift in priorities and that we would have to believe that there's an understanding of why those priorities are changing.
[00:40:52]  And then we have to actually see things happen.
[00:40:54]  Like we have to actually see people get indicted and we have to see like investigations moving forward.
[00:41:00]  And we, I mean, Viva, look at it.
[00:41:02]  Look at it this way.
[00:41:03]  Like, let's just take January 6th for an example.
[00:41:07]  I know for a fact that nobody in the Department of Justice has contacted a single J Sixer to say, we'd like you to come in for an interview so that we can understand what happened to you better.
[00:41:21]  You know, that takes time.
[00:41:23]  Like you can, you have to ask questions.
[00:41:25]  You have to do interviews.
[00:41:27]  And it's already lapsed.
[00:41:29]  The statute of limitations for a great many of the Jan 6 crimes committed by so-called law enforcement has lapsed.
[00:41:35]  And that was while we were being told to shut up when we were ahead, I say we, maybe I complained too early.
[00:41:41]  I wasn't complaining.
[00:41:41]  We're saying, you know, hey, when's stuff going to start happening?
[00:41:44]  Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry.
[00:41:45]  Oh, and it's too late has become the meme.
[00:41:47]  And I was like, no, the statute of limitations is going to become an issue.
[00:41:51]  And then I get Harmee Dylan, you know, calling me a stupid Canadian podcaster on Twitter, then blocking me.
[00:41:56]  And then lo and behold, statute of limitations has lapsed.
[00:41:59]  And now you have to argue all sorts of other RICO conspiracies if you ever even get there.
[00:42:04]  And we're not even there yet.
[00:42:05]  And so, but what's wild to me is that I want to say, on the one hand, they don't see it.
[00:42:10]  I don't know if they don't see it or if they do see it.
[00:42:12]  I'm not sufficiently connected to know if they live in such a silo in DC that they think everything is all hunky-dory.
[00:42:18]  But I mean, it's like you say, there are people who want to come, not just come back.
[00:42:22]  There are people who want to tell the successes and promote the party.
[00:42:26]  But you can't do it in a way that's going to make them look like total idiots, as though they have no principles and no morals.
[00:42:33]  Well, you didn't do X, Y, and Z, but I'm still coming around.
[00:42:36]  Or I know I said, no war with Iran.
[00:42:38]  Epstein files, uh, we need to release them, but now you say no to the Epstein files and yes to war.
[00:42:42]  So, I've got to say that you lose all credibility, and then everybody who ever looked up to that person for uh insights they get disregarded now, right?
[00:42:52]  But, but but Viva, it's important to remember too that, like, um, this isn't just about like uh civil lawsuits and things like that.
[00:43:02]  Like, yes, it would have been nice if something had been done before statutes of limitations expired on other things, but I mean, at the very least, my God, they could be bringing J Sixers in and interviewing them about things like who prosecuted your case, did you did the person ever intimidate you or make you feel like what was that?
[00:43:21]  They should be firing the people who behaved corruptly throughout the courses of these prosecutions.
[00:43:28]  They could at least be gathering testimonials and building profiles of like, wow, this same there's there's a pattern here where this prosecutor you leaned on multiple people.
[00:43:41]  Like, we're hearing the same story.
[00:43:42]  This must be true.
[00:43:43]  Maybe this person shouldn't work here anymore.
[00:43:46]  They're not even doing that.
[00:43:48]  No, the most concrete, inexplicable black and white is Jocelyn Ballantyne, who arguably but not arguably entrapped entrapped and abused Michael Flynn.
[00:43:58]  Uh, Enrique Tario tried to get Enrique Tario to lie in a statement of fact to incriminate Donald Trump, and she's still there, employed, now prosecuting what I believe to be the biggest Patsy of my lifetime, Brian Cole Jr.
[00:44:13]  To me, it's like, I don't know, man, I like I don't know.
[00:44:16]  Does power change?
[00:44:18]  Trump had power before, and you did think he was going to come in like a bull in a china shop because he didn't have to worry about reelection.
[00:44:24]  And it seems that instead of just going full throttle for the people, he's going full throttle for the donors, which is pissing the people off.
[00:44:34]  And not saying it is not going to make it go away, and not saying it is not going to get people to stop thinking it.
[00:44:41]  And that's what they don't understand.
[00:44:42]  Hey, Viva, I got to tell you real quick because you and I, we've had multiple tech problems today.

=== Power Shifts To Donors (06:06) ===

[00:44:47]  Um, I am now at one percent on my end.
[00:44:51]  Anyhow, I got to go bowling.
[00:44:53]  It's going to die, Brendan.
[00:44:55]  Uh, so anyways, it's good.
[00:44:56]  I liked your speech, it was great.
[00:44:57]  I think uh, more people on the right need to hear it, and more of the big spokes, you know, the bigger vocal people need to hear it.
[00:45:02]  Brendan, where can people find you?
[00:45:03]  And we'll see if we can end this and we'll say our proper goodbyes afterwards.
[00:45:06]  Well, they can find me on all social media platforms.
[00:45:08]  My name is Brandon Stracha.
[00:45:09]  Um, and they can look up Walkaway, go to walkawaycampaign.com, sign up for our email list.
[00:45:13]  Please sign up for our texting list.
[00:45:15]  Um, and you know, if you can, he went, he went.
[00:45:22]  All right, I'm gonna call him afterwards, Brandon.
[00:45:24]  If you could still see me, which you can't probably, I'm gonna remove you because now you froze.
[00:45:28]  He went, uh, his battery went dead.
[00:45:30]  Uh, everybody, that was uh, sorry about the tech issues.
[00:45:32]  It's it's it's fun and it happens.
[00:45:34]  And now we had two streams in one day, clear, distinct.
[00:45:38]  Uh, I haven't been able to follow the chat over on either of the other platforms.
[00:45:42]  The one percenter is gone, says Ned Toons.
[00:45:45]  Let me see what's going on over on vivabarnslaw.locals.com before I have to go get warmed up for bowling night.
[00:45:54]  Cat turd's picture could be okay.
[00:45:56]  Uh, thank you, Brandon.
[00:45:58]  Says Nestler.
[00:45:58]  See Noam's husband.
[00:45:59]  Oh, I did see that story.
[00:46:01]  I don't think I'm getting into that because I don't really want to get into that.
[00:46:04]  I don't know what a cross-dresser means.
[00:46:06]  I mean, I saw the guys wearing like prosthetic boobies.
[00:46:08]  I don't know if he was like going like full undercover, but yeah, I saw a bit of it.
[00:46:13]  Good luck with the oh, with the strikes.
[00:46:15]  Okay, I thought you meant like military strikes, Zach the Cat.
[00:46:17]  If the GOP aren't going to hold anyone accountable, then sure as anything, I'm all in holding the GOP accountable because F them.
[00:46:24]  That's the other thing.
[00:46:24]  It's like it's Trump is doing what he said he would do.
[00:46:28]  He is going to be president of the USA.
[00:46:30]  Other leaders will be leaders for their countries.
[00:46:32]  I still want to see oligarchs.
[00:46:34]  Hold on, Aunt Lee says Trump is doing what he said he would do.
[00:46:37]  He is going to be president of the USA.
[00:46:39]  Other leaders will be leaders for their countries.
[00:46:41]  I still want to see oligarchs and their billionaire NGO stooges to go down.
[00:46:44]  I'm not sure if I agree with that because I think he said he would do some things that have not yet been done.
[00:46:49]  You were told to shut up.
[00:46:50]  They are working on a plan.
[00:46:50]  Just trust the man.
[00:46:51]  Trust the plan, Viva Fry Rocket Boy.
[00:46:53]  We're running out of time.
[00:46:54]  I was like, you know, now you're right.
[00:46:57]  I'll go silent, I guess, in a way, because there'll be no practicality.
[00:47:00]  There'll be no time left to actually do anything.
[00:47:01]  So it's going to serve nothing to say it.
[00:47:03]  Trust the process.
[00:47:05]  Nothing happened.
[00:47:06]  And now he tries to save JD failure.
[00:47:09]  I think JD can save himself, but we'll see.
[00:47:11]  Border closed yet.
[00:47:12]  Immigrants are still mostly in, and Trump is backtracking on deportations, likely to support amnesty.
[00:47:17]  Yeah.
[00:47:17]  I remember Benny Johnson going full on board with the Koch house and the Epstein.
[00:47:22]  Oh, no.
[00:47:22]  Oh, Benny Johnson.
[00:47:23]  Okay, no.
[00:47:23]  Now telling us the DOJ is working.
[00:47:25]  I thought you meant who's the guy that I'm thinking of?
[00:47:29]  Mike Johnson, predicting that Republicans are going to win, gain seats at the midterms.
[00:47:36]  I mean, from his mouth to God's ears, literally, because I think it would take that type of divine intervention for that to happen.
[00:47:43]  You only need one bad session of the trots to write off a restaurant forever.
[00:47:48]  I see what that is.
[00:47:49]  Yes.
[00:47:51]  So that's that.
[00:47:52]  There you go.
[00:47:54]  Yeah, that's me, babies.
[00:47:56]  I don't actually have one of those ball washers.
[00:48:00]  Look at me and Barnes.
[00:48:01]  That's so classic.
[00:48:03]  So that's it.
[00:48:03]  All right, guys, that was great.
[00:48:05]  I think a pretty bad GOP control is far better than the same level.
[00:48:09]  Yes, but the thing is this, CTune.
[00:48:10]  That will get people who are going to vote and who would otherwise vote Republican anyhow to vote.
[00:48:15]  That will not get new voters up, which is what it required for Trump to defeat the cheat, the margin of cheat in 2024.
[00:48:23]  It took Maha.
[00:48:25]  It took Tulsi Gabbard.
[00:48:26]  And now Tulsi's been all but sidelined.
[00:48:29]  I love how, who was it?
[00:48:31]  It was Rep Paulina Luna the other day that said, she recycled the video of Caroline Levitt talking about going after the Russia gate hoax, people.
[00:48:40]  Thanks to the work of Tulsi Gabbard at the ODNI.
[00:48:42]  I'm like, A, I appreciate there's been some news.
[00:48:45]  The video of Caroline Levitt was from July 25th, 2025.
[00:48:49]  Nothing's happened.
[00:48:50]  It's going to be a damn near year.
[00:48:52]  When's it going to happen?
[00:48:53]  Oh, no, too late.
[00:48:55]  That's it.
[00:48:56]  It's over.
[00:48:59]  All right.
[00:48:59]  Well, people, that was great.
[00:49:01]  I'm going to go clip the first one because I want to get that one out there.
[00:49:04]  So, so many Debbie Downers in the midterms think positive.
[00:49:07]  Dog mom, I know that you are a good faith member.
[00:49:10]  I know you're a wonderful member of our community, but thinking positive is not going to translate into getting people to vote.
[00:49:18]  They need to be motivated to vote.
[00:49:20]  Thinking positive is great.
[00:49:22]  That's called prayer.
[00:49:23]  But what's the old expression?
[00:49:25]  Two hands in action do more than two hands pressed together in prayer.
[00:49:28]  I'm not even sure I agree with it, but the bottom line is hope springs eternal.
[00:49:34]  I mean, it's good, but no.
[00:49:37]  They got to start.
[00:49:38]  There's still time to turn up.
[00:49:39]  Pull out of Iran.
[00:49:41]  Declare victory.
[00:49:42]  I wanted to play the cash, not the Kash Patel.
[00:49:44]  The Dinesh D'Souza clip, where you know, even Dinesh has now flipped on Iran.
[00:49:53]  And he's already now.
[00:49:56]  Dinesh has flipped, said, you know, the interests of Israel no longer align with the interests of America.
[00:50:02]  And people are already flipping on him, predictably so, because that's the way it is.
[00:50:09]  Yeah, we're going to go raid redacted, but unfortunately, I'm not going to have, we're not going to have much of an audience to raid them because we ended the first stream via tech glitch.
[00:50:18]  So go raid redacted.
[00:50:19]  You guys know what to do if you want to support.
[00:50:21]  Join us at locals.

[00:50:36]  I got to get ready and hit the road, Pete.
[00:50:39]  So, thank you all for being here.
[00:50:40]  Locals, no after party, but I'll give you some exclusives from the bowling alley.
[00:50:45]  Sorry about that.
[00:50:46]  We had some issues today.
[00:50:47]  So, go forth, enjoy the day, Godspeed, God bless, and see you all tomorrow.

[00:50:53]  Booyah.
