Quote:In a unanimous ruling yesterday, the Fifth Circuit expanded bars on the Biden administration’s Big Brother censorship activities, blocking the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) from any speech-policing communication with private-sector media platforms.

 The unanimous ruling reinforces Doughty’s original findings that nearly every government agency cited by plaintiffs in Missouri v Biden engaged in unconstitutional viewpoint suppression (except for NIAID), and that pressure by officials at all of these agencies transformed the private social-media platforms into agents of government censorship:

Quote:The Plaintiffs allege that federal officials ran afoul of the First Amendment by coercing and significantly encouraging “social-media platforms to censor disfavored [speech],” including by “threats of adverse government action” like antitrust enforcement and legal reforms. We agree.
The government cannot abridge free speech. U.S. Const. amend. I. A private party, on the other hand, bears no such burden—it is “not ordinarily constrained by the First Amendment.” Manhattan Cmty. Access Corp. v. Halleck, 139 S. Ct. 1921, 1930 (2019). That changes, though, when a private party is coerced or significantly encouraged by the government to such a degree that its “choice”—which if made by the government would be unconstitutional, Norwood v. Harrison, 413 U.S. 455, 465 (1973)—“must in law be deemed to be that of the State.” Blum v. Yaretsky, 457 U.S. 991, 1004 (1982); Barnes v. Lehman, 861 F.2d 1383, 1385– 36 (5th Cir. 1988).9 This is known as the close nexus test.10

And this time, the court makes clear the “daylight” involved:

Quote:It is true that the officials have an interest in engaging with socialmedia companies, including on issues such as misinformation and election interference. But the government is not permitted to advance these interests to the extent that it engages in viewpoint suppression. Because “[i]njunctions protecting First Amendment freedoms are always in the public interest,” the equities weigh in Plaintiffs’ favor.

In other words, the government is free to enter the public square and offer its opinions on truth and error. But they cannot pressure these platforms into censoring speech, let alone directly order the silencing of Americans involved in political debate.
The ruling goes on to confirm their earlier ruling vacating all but section 6 of the original injunction while adding CISA to the agencies enjoined. This appears to be the Fifth Circuit’s attempt to remedy the CISA question, but also to clarify its earlier ruling when the Supreme Court takes up discussion of the government’s appeal. Jonathan Turley sees it as a “major victory for free speech” on its own merits:

Quote:Jen Easterly, who heads the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, extended her agency’s mandate over critical infrastructure to include “our cognitive infrastructure.” The resulting censorship efforts included combating “malinformation” – described as information “based on fact, but used out of context to mislead, harm, or manipulate.”
Easterly is now barred from taking any action to T“coerce or significantly encourage” tech companies to remove or reduce the spread of posts. The Supreme Court may now have an opportunity to weigh in after the Justice Department appealed the injunction.

Hmmmmm

DC Attorney General Launches Investigation Into Left-Wing Dark Money Juggernaut

https://dailycallernewsfoundation.org/20...uggernaut/

Quote:Washington D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb subpoenaed records from Arabella Advisors and the network of liberal groups it manages as part of an investigation into reports alleging violation of tax laws, the Washington Free Beacon reported Tuesday.

Schwalb is seeking records that would shed light on whether Arabella illegally profited from the New Venture Fund, a nonprofit organization it manages, according to the Free Beacon. The attorney general also issued subpoenas relating to reports that allege the New Venture Fund used charitable funds to direct the partisan activities of Secure Democracy, a 501©(4) nonprofit that pushed lawmakers to expand mail-in voting in 2020 and 2021, according to the Free Beacon.
Also being investigated are the North Fund and the Sixteen Thirty Fund, both of which bankroll liberal activist causes while being managed by Arabella, according to Influence Watch.
The North Fund spent millions to promote pro-abortion and anti-Electoral College groups as well as groups intent on expanding the Supreme Court, according to Influence Watch. It also gave $4.1 million to Somos PAC, which worked to get Democrats elected, in 2022.
The Sixteen Thirty Fund similarly works to facilitate liberal activism, according to Influence Watch. The group spent millions to defeat Donald Trump during the 2020 presidential election and operates liberal groups as projects, according to Influence Watch.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) had concerns dating back to 2006 that Arabella may have been illegally extracting profits from the New Venture Fund, the Free Beacon reported.
The IRS inquired about the New Venture Fund not taking competitive bids for administrative services before entering into a management contract with Arabella, the Free Beacon reported. These concerns were assuaged when the New Venture Fund said its contract with Arabella would expire after one year.
The New Venture Fund’s relationship with Arabella continued beyond what it had told the IRS, the Free Beacon reported. The nonprofit organization has paid Arabella $230 million for management services since 2006 and has raised billions in donations, according to the Free Beacon.
The D.C. attorney general is also investigating conservative legal activist Leonard Leo and his network of nonprofits, according to Politico. Leo told Axios in 2020 that his network of nonprofits was inspired by Arabella’s network.
Spokespeople for the New Venture Fund, Arabella Advisors and the Sixteen Thirty Fund told the Daily Caller News Foundation that they are complying with the attorney general and maintain that they did not break the law.
A spokesman for Arabella Advisors told the DCNF that the organization is “confident in the systems we have in place to ensure our business conforms with legal and regulatory requirements.”
The D.C. attorney general’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

By the way... they never required vaccinations, never booted 8,000 soldiers from the military for not taking the vax, or told people they would be fired in their jobs and are not responsible if people got fired "if they did"..... None of that EVER happened, you are all crazy and it is right wing lies!

Quote:Now let’s fast-forward to the present day. I will begin with this profound statement that keeps churning over in my head:

Quote:They must really think we are stupid!

The “they” is our government (federal and state). The “we” is you and me, and the other 300+ million Americans across our country.


Alas, here we are, entering the final quarter of 2023, and we have the United States government, and many state governments (including New York’s former Governor Andrew Cuomo, current left-wing Governor Kathy Hochul, and the super-majority Dem legislature) proclaiming for all to hear that they did not force anyone to do anything detrimental these past 3.5 years. UNBELIEVABLE! Did you hear this? They are actually saying with straight faces that they didn’t force you to wear a mask, or lock down and shutter your businesses, or choose between taking an experimental drug or losing your job… Nope! They did none of that. And you – well, you are flat out crazy if you think they did. You are lying. You are exaggerating and totally overreacting. 


Unfortunately for Big Brother, ooops, I mean unfortunately for our 100 percent reliable, never-lies-to-us government, we have actual documents (including lawsuits), news stories, social media posts, and videos of the government at all levels mandating and forcing us to do all of those things, and more. Here’s just one example of Biden himself, the “Big Guy,” mandating the C19 shot:

Quote:Biden is not alone. No, no. His entire administration is right there with him. His head of OSHA, Douglas Parker, is also now lying through his teeth about the OSHA mandate that REQUIRED (not suggested) that all employers in the entire nation with 100 or more employees force their employees to get the C19 shot, otherwise they had to wear a mask and test constantly for C19. (That OSHA mandate was struck down by SCOTUS last year because it was unconstitutional, by the way). Then there’s the head of HHS, Xavier Becerra, saying there was never a mask mandate. What?! Another blatant lie. 



Please take the 2 minutes to watch this Congressman Kevin Kiley clip. You truly won’t believe your ears with the bullsh#* these Biden agency heads are spewing! As Congressman Kiley says in the video, the government is trying to tell us that “2 + 2 doesn’t equal 4.” You don’t get much more Orwellian than that!

A big long article on the subject. Yes, I also believe this Stasi like move by the Democrats is a direct weaponization of Federal agencies against their political opponents. Now half the country. 


Exclusive: Donald Trump Followers Targeted by FBI as 2024 Election Nears

https://www.newsweek.com/2023/10/13/excl...31836.html

Quote:Republicans, on the other hand, see the FBI's focus on January 6th and the law-breaking associated with it as "weaponization" on the part of the Biden administration, to suppress GOP voters, to stigmatize the right wing and to transform what they see as principled dissent against societal norms—for example with regard to abortion, about what children are taught in public schools or in rejection of transgender categorizations—as extremism.

The left sees these same numbers as proof that Donald Trump and his supporters are not just dangerous to democracy but also that the government isn't doing enough. Michigan Senator Gary Peters, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, consistently argues that the FBI is failing to fight the "full scope of white supremacist terrorist attacks." Others argue that the FBI (and law enforcement in general) is too sympathetic to white supremacists, a view punctuated by an assumption made by many after January 6 that a disproportionate number of protesters and those arrested were veterans or members of law enforcement (an allegation that isn't true when compared to their numbers in the general population).

Some experts, such as Brian Michael Jenkins, question whether conceiving of disgruntled Americans as terrorists is even a helpful exercise. "These are not people who are going underground," he says, referring to domestic terrorist organizations of the past such as the Black Panthers, the Weather Underground or the IRA or Red Brigades overseas. As Jenkins sees it, those we label as domestic terrorists—people marching with guns or those wearing military-like uniforms—are more performative than indicative of some true terrorism class in America. "This is not the '60s or '70s," when radical groups, even the civil rights and peace movements, were driven to violence," Jenkins says. "I don't think terrorism is a particularly useful framework for viewing this problem."

Quote:"Trump's army constitutes the greatest threat of violence domestically...politically...that's the reality and the problem set. That's what the FBI, as a law enforcement agency, has to deal with.

The revelations that some Trump supporters are being specifically targeted by the FBI fits with accusations from among them that the Bureau has them in its sights and is the political tool of a repressive deep state in Washington, D.C., bent on preserving the hold of the political establishment at the cost of democracy.

Such views are not only from the furthest fringe. Some of Trump's Republican allies in Congress have called for the FBI to be defunded over such accusations and the prosecution of Trump supporters over the January 6 attack. The fight over the FBI is in itself helping to stoke the political temperature ahead of the 2024 election.

Classified numbers seen by Newsweek substantiate the FBI public claims while also showing that a significant part of the increases in 2020 and 2021 were related to protests after the murder of George Floyd and during COVID as well the elections and January 6. That said, the data show clearly that the main targets of the investigations and cases open were of Trump supporters. While the number of investigations in 2021 almost doubled from 2020 to around 9,000, the number of "full investigations" that led to arrests was only 1,446, not much more than the number of 1,146 January 6 protesters who have been charged with a crime, according to the Justice Department.

Virtually all of the 2021 increases are specifically related to these events, including the enormous growth in what the FBI calls "assessments," which more than doubled from 2019 to 2021 and are revealed here for the first time.

Assessments are the most speculative of any FBI investigation, where a special agent or intelligence analyst only suspects wrongdoing because of association or encounter and further looks into someone's background. Assessments are the closest thing to domestic spying that exists in America and generally not talked about by the Bureau.
The data from the FBI shows a significant decline in the number of investigations and cases opened in the past year, in 2022, below 2020 levels—including a drop in the number of anti-government and anti-authority extremists (AGAAVEs) as a result of the closure of so many January 6-related cases.
And, according to FBI data obtained by Newsweek, 31 percent of its investigations now relate to AGAAVEs and 60 percent of all investigations include cases categorized as AGAAVE and "civil unrest"—marking a significant shift away from investigations associated with race-related causes or armed militias. Drilling further into the individual cases behind the numbers, nearly two-thirds of the FBI's current investigations are focused on Trump supporters and others suspected of violating what the FBI calls "anti-riot" laws.

Quote:The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers.

The challenge for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the primary federal agency charged with law enforcement, is to pursue and prevent what it calls domestic terrorism without direct reference to political parties or affiliations—even though the vast majority of its current "anti-government" investigations are of Trump supporters, according to classified data obtained by Newsweek.

"The FBI is in an almost impossible position," says a current FBI official, who requested anonymity to discuss highly sensitive internal matters. The official said that the FBI is intent on stopping domestic terrorism and any repeat of the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. But the Bureau must also preserve the Constitutional right of all Americans to campaign, speak freely and protest the government. By focusing on former president Trump and his MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporters, the official said, the Bureau runs the risk of provoking the very anti-government activists that the terrorism agencies hope to counter.
"Especially at a time when the White House is facing Congressional Republican opposition claiming that the Biden administration has 'weaponized' the Bureau against the right wing, it has to tread very carefully," says the official.


[b]What the FBI Data Shows[/b]

From the president down, the Biden administration has presented Trump and MAGA as an existential threat to American democracy and talked up the risk of domestic terrorism and violence associated with the 2024 election campaign.
"Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country," President Biden tweeted last September, the first time that he explicitly singled out the former president. "MAGA Republicans aim to question not only the legitimacy of past elections but elections being held now and into the future," Biden said.
Biden's Homeland Security Advisor Liz Sherwood-Randall said: "The use of violence to pursue political ends is a profound threat to our public safety and national security...it is a threat to our national identity, our values, our norms, our rule of law—our democracy."
For Attorney General Merrick Garland: "Attacks by domestic terrorists are attacks on all of us collectively, aimed at rending the fabric of our democratic society and driving us apart."
Though the FBI's data shows a dip in the number of investigations since the slew of January 6 cases ended, FBI Director Christopher Wray still says that the breach of the Capitol building was "not an isolated event" and the threat is "not going away anytime soon." In a joint report to Congress this June, the Bureau and the Department of Homeland Security say that "Threats from...DVEs [domestic violent extremists] have increased in the last two years, and any further increases in threats likely will correspond to potential flashpoints, such as high-profile elections and campaigns or contentious current events."
The FBI and DHS report concludes: "Sociopolitical developments—such as narratives of fraud in the recent general election, the emboldening impact of the violent breach of the U.S. Capitol, conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and conspiracy theories promoting violence—will almost certainly spur some domestic terrorists to try to engage in violence."
The threats listed in that paragraph are all clearly associated with America's right and in particular with Trump's MAGA supporters. Right after January 6, the FBI co-authored a restricted report ("Domestic Violent Extremists Emboldened in Aftermath of Capitol Breach, Elevated Domestic Terrorism Threat of Violence Likely Amid Political Transitions and Beyond") in which it shifted the definition of AGAAVE ("anti-government, anti-authority violent extremism") from "furtherance of ideological agendas" to "furtherance of political and/or social agendas." For the first time, such groups could be so labeled because of their politics.
It was a subtle change, little noticed, but a gigantic departure for the Bureau. Trump and his army of supporters were acknowledged as a distinct category of domestic violent extremists, even as the FBI was saying publicly that political views were never part of its criteria to investigate or prevent domestic terrorism. Where the FBI sees threats is also plain from the way it categorizes them—a system which on the surface is designed to appear nonpartisan. This shifted subtly days after the events of January 6 when it comes to what the Bureau calls AGAAVE.
"We cannot and do not investigate ideology," a senior FBI official reassured the press after January 6. "We focus on individuals who commit or intend to commit violence or criminal activity that constitutes a federal crime or poses a threat to national security."
But the FBI went further in October 2022 when it created a new subcategory—"AGAAVE-Other"—of those who were a threat but do not fit into its anarchist, militia or Sovereign Citizen groups. Introduced without any announcement, and reported here for the first time, the new classification is officially defined as "domestic violent extremists who cite anti-government or anti-authority motivations for violence or criminal activity not otherwise defined, such as individuals motivated by a desire to commit violence against those with a real or perceived association with a specific political party or faction of a specific political party."

World Record Tower Demolition
An engineering marvel gone horribly wrong deals CDI their strangest challenge yet: demolishing a brand new hurricane-proof tower. It’s a shot at a world record – the tallest concrete reinforced building ever to be imploded. Thirty-one stories high, Ocean Tower’s three massively reinforced cores boast 30 inches of concrete and rebar.

00:46:51 Unsinkable Ship Demolition
An experienced demo team must use a novel explosives system to scuttle their first ship – the Hoyt S. Vandenberg. In this unprecedented demo job, Controlled Demolition Incorporated teams up with a marine salvage crew to turn a 17,000-ton former spy ship into the second-largest artificial reef in the world.

01:33:36 Super Stadium Demolition
A skillful demolition team must take down a massive sports stadium in the heart of Indianapolis and keep its destruction from spreading. The 60,000-seat RCA Dome sits just a few meters away from a multimillion-dollar convention center and the city's main rail line. Twelve stories of office tower windows and an out-of-date underground sewer are also threatened. CDI will have to tackle 52,000 tons of solid concrete and keep all their plays inbounds.

02:20:21 World Cup Stadium Demolition
This groundbreaking episode follows Controlled Demolition Inc. as they head south to Brazil to take on one of the largest sports facilities in the world – the Fonte Nova Stadium.

In 1998, some scenes of the horror/sci-fi film "Virus" were filmed aboard the ex-General Hoyt S. Vandenberg. The ship substituted for a fictional Russian vessel called the Akademik Vladislav Volkov, and some of the Cyrillic lettering applied for the film is still visible on the hull...which is shown in the vid.

If this works as promised it will be one of the greatest inventions and one we as a people need as water scarcity is a big deal in many parts of the world. Of course once it hits the market I feel TPTB will make it necessary to have to change some expensive part on a regular basis..

Quote:By Jennifer Chu, Massachusetts Institute of Technology October 3, 2023

A tilted ten-stage solar-powered prototype desalination device is located in a “boat-like” reservoir. It efficiently turns seawater into drinkable water, potentially at costs lower than tap water production. Credit: Jintong Gao and Zhenyuan Xu
MIT engineers and collaborators developed a solar-powered device that avoids the salt-clogging issues of other designs.
Engineers at MIT and in China are aiming to turn seawater into drinking water with a completely passive device that is inspired by the ocean, and powered by the sun.
In a paper published on September 27 in the journal Joule, the research team outlines the design for a new solar desalination system that takes in saltwater and heats it with natural sunlight.

The configuration of the device allows water to circulate in swirling eddies, in a manner similar to the much larger “thermohaline” circulation of the ocean. This circulation, combined with the sun’s heat, drives water to evaporate, leaving salt behind. The resulting water vapor can then be condensed and collected as pure, drinkable water. In the meantime, the leftover salt continues to circulate through and out of the device, rather than accumulating and clogging the system.
Enhanced Efficiency and Performance
The new system has a higher water-production rate and a higher salt-rejection rate than all other passive solar desalination concepts currently being tested.
The researchers estimate that if the system is scaled up to the size of a small suitcase, it could produce about 4 to 6 liters of drinking water per hour and last several years before requiring replacement parts. At this scale and performance, the system could produce drinking water at a rate and price that is cheaper than tap water.
“For the first time, it is possible for water, produced by sunlight, to be even cheaper than tap water,” says Lenan Zhang, a research scientist in MIT’s Device Research Laboratory.

The team envisions a scaled-up device could passively produce enough drinking water to meet the daily requirements of a small family. The system could also supply off-grid, coastal communities where seawater is easily accessible.
Zhang’s study co-authors include MIT graduate student Yang Zhong and Evelyn Wang, the Ford Professor of Engineering, along with Jintong Gao, Jinfang You, Zhanyu Ye, Ruzhu Wang, and Zhenyuan Xu of Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China.
Evolution of the Design
The team’s new system improves on their previous design — a similar concept of multiple layers, called stages. Each stage contained an evaporator and a condenser that used heat from the sun to passively separate salt from incoming water. That design, which the team tested on the roof of an MIT building, efficiently converted the sun’s energy to evaporate water, which was then condensed into drinkable water. But the salt that was left over quickly accumulated as crystals that clogged the system after a few days. In a real-world setting, a user would have to place stages on a frequent basis, which would significantly increase the system’s overall cost.
In a follow-up effort, they devised a solution with a similar layered configuration, this time with an added feature that helped to circulate the incoming water as well as any leftover salt. While this design prevented salt from settling and accumulating on the device, it desalinated water at a relatively low rate.
In the latest iteration, the team believes it has landed on a design that achieves both a high water-production rate, and high salt rejection, meaning that the system can quickly and reliably produce drinking water for an extended period. The key to their new design is a combination of their two previous concepts: a multistage system of evaporators and condensers, that is also configured to boost the circulation of water — and salt — within each stage.
“We introduce now an even more powerful convection, that is similar to what we typically see in the ocean, at kilometer-long scales,” Xu says.
The small circulations generated in the team’s new system is similar to the “thermohaline” convection in the ocean — a phenomenon that drives the movement of water around the world, based on differences in sea temperature (“thermo”) and salinity (“haline”).
“When seawater is exposed to air, sunlight drives water to evaporate. Once water leaves the surface, salt remains. And the higher the salt concentration, the denser the liquid, and this heavier water wants to flow downward,” Zhang explains. “By mimicking this kilometer-wide phenomena in small box, we can take advantage of this feature to reject salt.”
System Mechanics
The heart of the team’s new design is a single stage that resembles a thin box, topped with a dark material that efficiently absorbs the heat of the sun. Inside, the box is separated into a top and bottom section. Water can flow through the top half, where the ceiling is lined with an evaporator layer that uses the sun’s heat to warm up and evaporate any water in direct contact. The water vapor is then funneled to the bottom half of the box, where a condensing layer air-cools the vapor into salt-free, drinkable liquid. The researchers set the entire box at a tilt within a larger, empty vessel, then attached a tube from the top half of the box down through the bottom of the vessel, and floated the vessel in saltwater.
In this configuration, water can naturally push up through the tube and into the box, where the tilt of the box, combined with the thermal energy from the sun, induces the water to swirl as it flows through. The small eddies help to bring water in contact with the upper evaporating layer while keeping salt circulating, rather than settling and clogging.
The team built several prototypes, with one, three, and 10 stages, and tested their performance in water of varying salinity, including natural seawater and water that was seven times saltier.
From these tests, the researchers calculated that if each stage were scaled up to a square meter, it would produce up to 5 liters of drinking water per hour, and that the system could desalinate water without accumulating salt for several years. Given this extended lifetime, and the fact that the system is entirely passive, requiring no electricity to run, the team estimates that the overall cost of running the system would be cheaper than what it costs to produce tap water in the United States.
“We show that this device is capable of achieving a long lifetime,” Zhong says. “That means that, for the first time, it is possible for drinking water produced by sunlight to be cheaper than tap water. This opens up the possibility for solar desalination to address real-world problems.”
“This is a very innovative approach that effectively mitigates key challenges in the field of desalination,” says Guihua Yu, who develops sustainable water and energy storage systems at the University of Texas at Austin, and was not involved in the research. “The design is particularly beneficial for regions struggling with high-salinity water. Its modular design makes it highly suitable for household water production, allowing for scalability and adaptability to meet individual needs.”

to 15 million new constituents so and I guess to put it all together they feel
4:53
that they're at a stage now where their agenda does not appeal to 51 percent of
4:59
the people and they either have to bring in new constituencies or change the system the entire system of which we are
5:06
acculturated to to retain power and that's what they're willing to do and
5:12
there's no such thing anymore as theft or or lies or any of these things
5:18
because they're just constructs and they're just anything that's useful to
5:23
gain power is considered legitimate and anything that's not useful is
5:29
illegitimate and that's how they Define morality and I think we're very naive
5:34
Tucker we don't realize that we're in the middle of a revolution we think that we're still playing within the same
5:40
Sidelines or parameters and it's not everything's under negotiation whether it's the Senate filibuster the Electoral
5:47
College New States coming in the size of Supreme Court voting IDs the genders the
5:54
foundational data the United States pronoun usage from the trivial to the existential we're in a middle of a
6:01
cultural economic political revolution and I think we got to wake up
6:07
I mean I I suppose the danger is that if the average person decides that the
6:12
system is illegitimate it's not fair it doesn't have any meaning Beyond
6:19
the political desires of the people administering it then you know what
6:24
percent what prevents the average person from resorting to violence in other words if you have no power if your vote means nothing if the system is
6:31
BS then you know why don't you take up arms seriously
6:39
well two things I think have precluded that so far one is I call it the monastery of the mind a lot of people
6:45
just say you know what I'm checking out I don't I don't want to watch the Oscars I don't even know what the Tony's or
6:52
Emmys are I don't watch the NBA I I'd have nothing to do with Hollywood movies
6:58
I've just created my own reality and the other is and the under our Federalist
7:03
system we're having millions of people this is the greatest Exodus diaspora we've ever seen our history where people
7:09
are fleeing these blue States and blue cities to Red States and they feel that
7:14
I'm going to recreate America as I once understood stood it without having anything to do and so far that's kept us
7:22
that's kept us sort of viable but they for them that's not enough It's never
7:27
enough to have two million illegal entrants or three million they got to have eight or nine or ten it's not
7:34
enough that Joe Biden is corrupt it's not enough that these non-composed Mentos it's not
7:41
enough that his agenda doesn't make sense he's got a you've got to accept more and more of him and I think they
7:48
keep pushing the envelope and these safety valves that I just mentioned I don't know if they're going to be enough already but right now
7:55
I think there's one last effort on the part of conservatives are going to say you know what we're going to speak up as
8:01
we've never spoken up before we're not we're going to go after Target we're going to go after Disney we're going to
8:07
say that we're going to go after the three gender movement and we're going to try to win this election we're going to
8:13
try to win the house we're going to try the rep when the representative we just have to unite behind and we'll see if
8:18
that works I'm really afraid everybody says democracy's in danger but I think if they feel that they have the
8:25
majority of the people and I think the majority of the people are against this Progressive you uh Jacobin agenda and
8:32
they still can't find power then we're going to be in New Territory we're in new territory now and so there are
8:38
legitimate efforts to rectify that and stop this madness and let's see what happens in 2024 but I don't think it
8:46
works anymore just to migrate to a red state or to drop out of the popular culture you've got to get control of the
8:53
political apparatus of the country through elections and and your worry is legitimate if you can't do it through
8:59
Fair elections and what do you do so I think this election I know everybody says that that each election is
9:06
Paramount but this one is very important because we're in the middle of a revolution and it's our only Avenue to a
9:12
counter-revolution to return to normality what would you say to the people who've
9:18
stopped paying their cable bill and move to Florida and feel like everything's fine because their neighborhood is fine
9:23
why is that a bad strategy dropping out and moving
9:29
because they can find you and by that I mean Florida or Tennessee are living in Texas
9:37
is a great Advantage than living in California or Michigan or Oregon or
9:43
Washington or Maryland but eventually the federal government is not satisfied to leave you alone
9:49
and so when you go on your Google search it will be calibrated by it an algorithm
9:55
to make sure that you have results that don't represent reality and we're in a
10:02
federal system where we have 33 trillion dollars in debt and there's only three ways to get out of it you either have to
10:08
inflate all of our incurrency which we're trying to do I suppose or we're going to have to appropriate Capital
10:14
which they've talked about you know giving credit to Social Security years by taking 401K money or you're going to
10:22
have to renounce the debt and that's going to affect all of us and I don't need to mention that a lot
10:28
of this crime is going across state lines and you can be in Red State Texas and the federal government can say you
10:34
can't protect the Texas border or maybe it can redefine the American Border as the border with Oklahoma until it Texas
10:42
you're not sending your illegals northward but you're not going to be able to stop them coming into your state
10:47
because we've targeted you for radical demographic change so it's a stop get
10:54
stop Gap Sanctuary but it shouldn't lull us into the idea that that it's a
11:00
solution the solution is to take back the Congress to ensure the Supreme Court
11:05
is a traditional Supreme Court and to win the presidency but unfortunately the Republican party which we all look to I
11:13
don't look to it very much anymore has lost seven out of the last eight popular votes hasn't won 51 percent since George
11:21
H.W bush did it by bringing in Lee Atwater in 38 and we decided we don't
11:27
want to ever win that way again it was too ugly they thought so they I guess the idea in the National level is to win
11:33
to lose nobly and and never to win ugly but we've got to change that attitude
11:39
because we're dealing with people that are not Democratic liberals in the way that we used to define them as Bill
11:45
Clinton or Harry Truman or JFK this is a new generation of as I said Jacobins and
11:51
they believe that any means necessary or Justified morally to achieve their morally Superior aims
11:58
what what happens if Democrats win the presidency in 2024.
12:06
if they win the presidency that means they'll keep the Senate and they'll probably take back the house and then I
12:12
would expect that we would see another 10 or 15 million illegal immigrants come
12:20
across the border and there would be efforts to confine those immigrants from going to Northern
12:27
cities they would stop them somehow I would assume that we would
12:34
we would probably have advisors in Ukraine and that would be that would be a charitable I think people really do
12:41
want to intervene in Ukraine with U.S Manpower I would assume that what we see
12:47
in the big cities crime-wise would extend but it would also extend in the
12:52
Civil the Civil sphere as we see with Donald Trump that lawsuit that you mentioned is very important Tucker
12:58
because it shows you that critical legal theory is not happy just to let people
13:03
ransack uh Smash and grab carjacking without consequences they really do want
13:09
to go after private capital in the Civil sector and they will start filing lawsuits as you wouldn't believe and I
13:17
think we'd also would expect that the FBI the CIA the doj would have a
13:23
referendum I guess they would think the election was a referendum on them and they're free to do what they have been doing but at an accelerated rate so I
13:31
think it would be a disaster and I think racial relations would get a lot worse as well they're getting bad now once we
13:38
gave up the idea of ecumenicalism and turned to racial essentialism is what the Democratic party is forced down
13:45
everybody's throat so it's it's going to be scary if they if they win because that means they'll probably take the
13:51
house and the Congress the entire Congress and there won't be any there won't be
13:56
any redress agreements as I don't see it but I don't think they will because they
14:02
don't have any popular support every single one of Joe Biden's issues economy
14:07
crime energy foreign policy the Border he's polling 30 or 40 percent and the
14:15
only way they're retaining power is through the legal system and the administrative State and our
14:21
institutions media Entertainment Sports education K-12 universities
14:28
and it's kind of an artificial way of getting power without popular consent that's why I think you were right on
14:34
when you said they don't believe in democracy in fact the op-ed writers in the New York Times will say that now
14:40
that democracy is a flawed idea because it doesn't it doesn't any longer re uh
14:46
ensure the result that they have to have like good Bolsheviks or good Jacobins
14:52
they eventually always turn on elections they don't want them and so we'll see it's going to be a very
14:58
explosive I hope everybody can keep their head because I think the next 12 to 18 months are going to be the most
15:04
explosive in our history since the Great Depression do you think Trump is leading now
15:12
um what do you think would happen if 11 months from now
15:18
um Trump was still leading yeah well we're on chartered we have no
15:27
idea about this election Tucker because first of all we've never had a present running against an ex-president number
15:33
one number two we've never had an incumbent president that is utterly corrupt like Joe Biden and has lost all
15:41
of us or most of us cognitive facilities and is very unpopular and yet we've
15:46
never had a challenger who has been the victim of lawfare and is facing 91
15:52
indictments and every time people say they wouldn't dare do this Fannie Willis
15:58
wouldn't dare Latina James is just an absurd prosecutor she wouldn't dare Alvin Bragg is a buffoon he wouldn't
16:04
dare Jack Smith is a partisan every time people say that they do and so I don't
16:10
know if there's a strategy to keep Donald Trump either out of a gag order or out of confinement or Mar-A-Lago or
16:17
out of jail so you can see where we're headed to where Joe Biden isn't really a
16:24
viable president anymore he's a construct he's being used by the hard left by the Obamas and the Elizabeth
16:30
Warren Bernie Sanders Squad wing on the Democratic party and it's getting to the
16:35
point of character so you put all of those things together and add in a Kamala Harris that frightens everybody
16:42
because we've never had such an incompetent vice president I think and one so unfit to be president
16:49
and they're everything all bets are off it's it's like putting a a group all
16:55
sorts of ingredients of explosive into a kind of device and it's going to blow up
17:00
I think somehow but I don't think we can predict what's going to happen it's just
17:06
too volatile I think the left feels that they want to push the the envelope they want to take the leading Republican
17:12
candidate and they want to create charges against him which they know they
17:17
would have never lodged had he just said I don't want to run for president they would let him alone so these are
17:23
patently political and they want to destroy him psychologically financially and of course politically and they think
17:30
they can get away with it without a pushback and we'll see I think the other candidates are going
17:37
to be I don't know what they're what their line should be Tucker but I think it should be if you want to vote for me
17:44
I am going to be viable and I'm going to make sure that they never do to Donald
17:50
Trump what they're doing now and I'm in a better position to help Trump than he is that's the only I think legitimate
17:55
argument to make that that this involves everybody and if
18:02
you're going to run for president and you feel that you embrace the mega agenda you should say that I will not be
18:09
in jail I won't be exposed as to the same degree and if I can survive I will change the system and make sure Donald
18:16
Trump is exonerated and never and no one else has to face this but otherwise it's
18:22
it's going to be a very complex bizarre baffling period I don't think the founders had this is their worst
18:29
nightmare 2023-24 I don't even think you'd have to support
18:35
Trump's agenda or Trump the man to see this as an assault
18:40
on a centuries-old system that's worked better than any other and I and I wonder why almost nobody in Washington seems to
18:47
see that or be willing to say it out loud yeah the only question I have about that
18:54
is I don't know why they did not go to the same extremes they did go to extremes against McCain and Romney Etc
19:03
but there was something about Trump his personality that was an affront to the
19:09
bicoastal standard of I don't know what they thought was acceptable or desirable
19:15
or it was his agenda when they looked at the particular Mega agenda and they said
19:20
my God we have sizable investments in China and they are a partner they're not an
19:25
existential threat this is really scary or we have this idea of global global
19:31
ecumenicalism we can't have a border anymore and this guy wants to bring back a border or we have this idea that how
19:38
we look or a race is essential not incidental to who we are and he would want to bring back this crazy Melting
19:44
Pot and destroy the entire world movement so I I think it did represent
19:49
to them a Defcon one and they said we can't have this and it would have
19:55
been all right Tucker had he been a third party Ross Perot they dealt with people like that in the past and they'd
20:02
already been able to handle them but he won the Republican nomination got elected and now he wants to
20:08
to be back and they just said we don't we're going to do everything we possible and we're going to even reject
20:14
our prior Democratic liberal Heritage of you know ACLU free speech and
20:20
transparency in the church committee investing all of that's off the table we don't want to do any of that anymore
20:27
we're going to do anything necessary to destroy this guy's vision and the other candidates who share his vision because
20:33
if we don't we're going to go back to an America that we didn't like when it was
20:39
there we don't like now and we sure as hell don't want to be an America in the
20:45
future like that I I think even people who are skeptical of the
20:50
claim that the last election was unfair or rigged have concluded that it was in fact unfair
20:56
and the federal agencies got involved in a partisan way it was not a freaking fair election given that that system is
21:02
still in place yeah you think it's possible for a Republican or Trump specifically to get elected in 2024
21:11
it's very difficult what the left did was absolutely brilliant Tucker they They seized on this Sydney Powell
21:18
Linwood Kraken Dominion voting machines as representative of all of the the
21:24
questions about the election when most people said the election was lost on by the time we
21:30
got to election day yeah because 70 percent of the voters had voted not on Election Day and that never happened in
21:37
American history it was always 30 percent absentee 70 in most States on
21:42
Election Day but they systematically used covet as an excuse and went into about nine states and changed the voting
21:50
laws and I mean by that that the error rate for mail-in ballots dropped
21:55
exponentially as the rejection rate did as they were swarmed by them and they
22:01
were bragging about it Mark Zuckerberg was bragging about spending 419 million dollars to absorb the work of Precinct
22:08
workers in key States Molly ball as you remember in that time essay just gushed about how they had outsmarted these
22:15
stupid conservatives and they had coordinated the Chamber of Commerce the street people antifa Etc to modulate the
22:22
demonstrations and to suppress free speech and you know when Twitter is
22:27
being control told by the FBI to the tune of three million dollars being paid off
22:32
for their their own contractors to suppress streets or Google is manipulating searches and ads and
22:40
everything that's what destroyed the the viability of a fair election it was done
22:45
before election day and we were all asleep or some of us I know you were
22:50
yelling about it I was trying to yell about it but we couldn't get through to anybody that they would be that
22:56
audacious or that successful nobody thought they were capable of that and yet they were
23:02
so why is why have Republicans in Washington done nothing meaningful to fix
23:08
any of that I I think the traditional answer to that
23:14
is probably accurate that there's a culture that is created and it's kind of
23:21
a lose nobly avoid winning ugly profit both
23:26
financially and psychologically the status quo and they and they feel that
23:31
their own constituents some of the Republican constituents are kind of out there and an embarrassment to the type
23:38
of culture and environment that you know that they operate in in Washington and
23:44
so the sense is I'm not going to be too affected by the left-wing takeover
23:52
because I I know I can make the necessary adjustments in a way that my constituents can't
23:57
and so I think there's a sometimes in the case of somebody like Mitch McConnell it can be overt but in
24:04
other cases it's pretty clear as well and that's been going on for a long time and the problem we're having now is that
24:11
you need leaders who are trying to tell people we are in a Jacobin takeover this
24:16
country and the old get along at any cost does not work and I don't think people want that
24:23
disruption in their comfortable lies in Washington I mean if you say to somebody in the Republican establishment you've
24:29
got to break up the FBI you've got to take the headquarters and put it in Kansas City and farm out the divisions
24:36
to other cabinet posts to prevent that concentration of really dangerous power
24:41
you've got to do something with the CIA you've got to do something with the doj we got to have massive legal reforms I
24:49
don't think they're up to that I really don't I don't think they're up to being trashed in the The Washington Post or
24:55
the New York Times or not being invited to a particular guest spot on a network
25:00
news or being shunned by NPR and PBS they're just not up to that or having
25:05
their books trash by book reviewers on the left they don't want that there's a few that do and but
25:14
until we get a lot of people who say you know you on the left culturally have nothing that I want
25:20
and so when you hate us and call me names and you lie about I I take that as
25:26
a badge of honor I don't try to provoke you I want to get along with you but you have no cultural influence over me
25:33
anymore and I'm going to be an advocate for returning to the country to the principles upon which it was founded I
25:40
think that's what people want to hear and I think in 2024 they'll hear that and they're going to have to each person
25:46
according to their station Tucker stand up right give money to to the cause write letters the paper volunteer to
25:54
work at precincts monitor what the left is doing with mail-in ballots and you're
26:00
starting to see that Grassroots interest but the question is will it be in time and of a magnitude that will stop this
26:08
so to the hearing today uh in New York the civil case against Trump my read of
26:16
it is that it's it's ridiculous the premise is absurd am I missing something is there any Merit do you think just as
26:22
objectively as you can to this suit
26:29
well I mean in the in a larger sense no because you can ask yourself two questions
26:34
would letita James and the people who were doing this would they have done it of Donald Trump on January 7th said
26:41
conditions have changed I'm now not going to run for office I think the answer is no and then the second thing
26:49
are some of the Giants of New York finance and real estate do they operate
26:55
in a way that is completely different than Donald Trump they never overvalue
27:00
an an asset and I think the answer is no and then the third question might be now
27:06
that you picked on Donald Trump are you going to systematically look at the bank
27:11
applications and loan applications of say 50 or 60 of the largest developers
27:16
in New York especially on the left wing side I don't think so yeah so
27:21
and especially you made a good point that the bank is not filing suit and saying we lost all of this money and
27:28
then we have to juxtapose at Tucker to what we're witnessing on the other side with somebody like Sam bankman freed
27:35
that was put on house arrest on the Stanford campus we now know about his
27:41
parents to renowned Stanford law professors that were grifting off their
27:46
own son and siphoning money from his company as it was collapsing which was a big uh bundler and provider of millions
27:54
of dollars for the Democratic party and nobody in the Democratic party seems to
28:00
be upset about him and then we we have Hunter Biden looking at it we're looking
28:05
at us and we and you want to ask latita James do you really are you really going to do anything or do you think that Joe
28:12
Biden should face consequences for again and again and again telling the American
28:18
people he had no knowledge or participation in any of Hunter's business when you know that was untrue
28:24
and money was coming to his address and so it's a very strange time Tucker when
28:29
you have all this evidence both to exonerate Donald Trump because of this asymmetrical treatment and the fact
28:36
that there was no damage but also when you're looking at Hunter Biden or Menendez and all these these people and
28:42
you think how can they with a straight face tell us that there's not a shred of evidence that Hunter and Joel
28:49
were acting in an illegal fashion and the president United States as we talk
28:55
you and I are talking right now the president United States is pretty clearly as vice president was utterly
29:00
corrupt and has never accounted for that and nobody on the left cares about it
29:06
more importantly the Judiciary or the prosecutorial arm of the United States government is protecting it
29:13
let me ask you one one last question so I want to put up a clip of as you know
29:19
there's a lot going on and no matter what side you're on I think any aware person sees that this is a
29:26
revolution or our most basic systems are changing uh for good or bad and yet the
29:33
news coverage I mean not only is it partisan it's also incredibly shallow here's msnbc's
29:39
coverage of the Civil Trial in New York the case against Donald Trump
29:46
they're going after this guy on the basis of a non-crime they're not even alleging that there was a crime or
29:52
that anyone was hurt and they're taking is home and his
29:59
businesses and msnbc's coverage is that
30:06
yeah I mean what msmuc just told us is that
30:11
we are not only fine with but we promote the idea that government can go in to a
30:19
business all of the business and appropriate it and destroy it yes without cause and we
30:25
think that's not only good but funny because we're going to throw a little fill up about a
30:31
golden toilet haha and the idea is that we now have the power to do this and
30:37
because we have the power to do it it's moral and right and if you don't like it what are you going to do about it
30:43
exactly and the answer is what are we going to do about it and the only thing that I can think of
30:49
is we're going to have to humiliate and defeat these people at the
30:54
polls I don't think it's going to work Tucker to win the electoral college in one one branch of Congress you're going
31:00
to have to have a 55 percent presidential win both super majority in the Congress to get anything done we've
31:08
come so far and you're going to have to defeat them and humiliate them the way that we had we did it once with Reagan
31:14
and it lasted for about eight years but this leftist revolutionary spirit is
31:21
like rust after a rain or it's mushrooms in your lawn it's always there and you can't you can't allow it to grow
31:28
and to expand and accelerate as we have we've been complacent and culpable for allowing it to do so in the universities
31:35
and exactly and all of our institutions I think now everybody according to their
31:40
station is going to have to say you know what there are two pronouns I don't care if you get angry this was the date of
31:46
this country is 1776 got it that's what it is and there is a border and we're
31:52
going to enforce it and just say no to all of these things and then welcome the oprobium and the attacks that accrue
31:58
accordingly and where that is a badge of honor because what's the alternative
32:04
there is no alternative unless you want to see the United States dissipate before your very eye yes yeah and living
32:11
in Naples with no TV will not save you

Yeah, they really hate any resistance to censorship. They want it so badly. Complete information control, just like the MSM.
