A lot of polyphenols in popcorn. I really like the pepper and sea salt popcorn, right? And just, just watch. Now I'll say for the thousandth time, just in case really dumb, dopey, stupid liberals don't get it. I vehemently, vigorously, and in the strongest possible terms, condemn any kind of political violence whatsoever, whether it's driven by a leftist ideology or motivated by someone on the right. I condemn it, and so does every other sane person I know.

That doesn't change anything about the January 6th videos that were exposed showing categorically that some, some of the narratives, the liberal media symbiote tried to pitch to the general public were fairy tales. The Josh Hawley was a coward running away by himself. Look at him. When it turns out that Josh Hawley was just one of many lawmakers

being escorted out of the Capitol. By the way, showing that, lawmakers being escorted out, it's kind of interesting how, guys, correct me if I'm wrong, the libs are like, they're trying to play down January 6th. Really?

They're showing you a procession of lawmakers being let out because they perceive the danger. How is that playing anything down? Are you really that stupid? This is how desperate these idiots are to continue a narrative. Where's Captain Obvious when you need him? Where is he? I'm stumbling on what I just say makes sense.

I'm serious. You too. You're showing lawmakers being escorted out at the same time. You're selectively editing a video to make it look like it's one Republican senator, which it wasn't. Tucker goes on and shows, no, no, it was actually a lot of senators that perceived the danger. While you're claiming like Tucker Carlson's downplaying the danger, while showing an evacuation of senators, you are so freaking stupid. It is unbelievable that people still listen to you idiots. Sit back and just watch these goons.

The video of Jacob Chansley, the QAnon shaman, whatever they call him, being escorted around. You claim this guy was the leader of some insurrection or hinted or implied it. You sent him to prison for four years. You don't think that video is relevant as a media person or a liberal? It doesn't change the violence that happened on that day, but it certainly changes the story about Chansley and Hawley, doesn't it?

You're not interested in that? They wanted to go away because they love censorship the videos have the liberal media symbiote terrified because of one reason they tell the story all the warts included not a story and a story they wanted you to believe before the other day when Tucker released the videos, a story they wanted you to believe was that this was an armed, violent insurrection where the government was in danger of being overthrown by deplorable red hat wearing MAGA supporters. And it's clear, although that day had a lot of answers to still be had on that day. That day was a day that will, for many people, live in infamy. It is nothing close to what they told you it was. That's why they're pissed off.

Here's the tell. There's always a tell. What, Joe Biden saying, this is the truth. Not a joke. No, no, not that tell. Here's Chuck Schumer having an absolute meltdown. He's not screaming or yelling, but make no mistake,

this is a meltdown. This is a government employee, the United States Senate, he may be powerful, but he still works for you, who swore an oath to the Constitution, openly blowing his nose in the Constitution, crapping on the First Amendment and calling for censorship of a media outlet, Fox and Tucker Carlson, simply

because they aired video. He doesn't even dispute his authentic. Listen for yourself. These lies continue tonight. yourself. These lies continue tonight. Rupert Murdoch, who has admitted they were lies and said he regretted it, has a special obligation to stop Tucker Carlson from going on tonight now that he's seen how he has perverted and slimed the truth and from letting him go on again and again and again. Not because their views deserve such appropriate, but because our democracy depends on it.

Folks, that you understand what is going on here, I know you get it. Get that popcorn. Schumer, the liberals, and the media hackoon jackals are fully invested in the new police state. Follow me. We need to use and abuse police powers to target our political enemies. That's the new, that's their desire. That's their goal.

That's their deliverable. You understand? They are never going to get there in a country where neighbor views neighbor as a citizen. They need to depersonalize you, the Trump crowd, the conservatives. January 6th was a gift to them. It gave them their first opportunity in decades to point to violence on the conservative side or how they chose to characterize it. They picked these acts of violence and they did happen, but they picked them as indicative of what they've been telling you for years.

Conservatives or Nazis, terrorists, fascists, look, here's the evidence. They needed to depersonalize you. The only way to depersonalize you, to allow them to take away your civil liberties and turn us into a tyrannical police state, which they're doing right now, liberties and turn us into a tyrannical police state, which they're doing right now, is by destroying everything, everything you stand for and making them look at you like an it, not a person. The insurrection myth is the tool to doing that. More in a minute, but first, buy gold and get a free safe to store it in on qualifying purchases from Birch Gold. It's B-I-R-C-H through March 31st.

What are the things they teach you to do in crowd controls? If you can find out someone's name and they're in the middle of a riot, call them by name. It personalizes them again. It makes them, it isolates them from the crowd energy and makes them feel like a singular person and reflect on what they're doing. Folks, it works.

I promise you. You understand what they're doing is the opposite it works. I promise you. You understand what they're doing is the opposite. The Democrats, they need to depersonalize you. You're not your liberal neighbor's friend, Tony, anymore. You're the Nazi fascist. The insurrection myth is all they have. They are wedded and married to this fairy tale of the insurrection. And as the evidence emerges that that's not what happened, they are losing their minds. Here's CNN. I mean, obviously it's CNN,

so we take this all with a grain of salt. Never go full Nazi, by the way. CNN goes full Nazi every day. Here they are with a joke of a historian, Ken Burns. I mean, just a comical embarrassment to humankind. Here's Ken Burns on CNN going full Nazi over the fact that keep in mind, authentic videos were released that tell the full story. And this is a media alley claiming now we don't want to hear it. You're like Nazis or something.

Check this out. DeSantis and others are doing limit our ability to understand who we are and are not inclusive. They're exclusive. They're they're narrowing the focus of what is and isn't American history. It's terrifying. It feels like a Soviet system or, you know, the way the Nazis would build a Potemkin village. Tucker Carlson's doing the same thing with the footage from one six. It's just a kind of rewriting of history at the most dangerous level. It's it's's a huge threat to our republic. Full Nazi, Joe. There you go.

Full Nazi. This is what they do. Nazis, fascists, this is what they're doing. The historical comparisons are obscene. They're obscene. This is what they do. These people are a joke. It's a clown show. I want you to take a look at this new york times article

yesterday jeremy peters again another hapless buffoon like you've never seen i mean this guy is an absolute clown i think he's emailed me a couple times i'm not sure if it's the same guy and i've just you know i kind of laugh at guy. But you see what they're doing now? So Fox covers the 2020 election. Fox can't win in this case. Conservatives say you didn't cover this enough, these allegations of fraud. Liberals and this company suing them,

you covered it too much. It is a news channel. If someone makes allegations of fraud in an election, Democrat or Republican, it's news. Now, actual supposed news outlets on the left, like the New York Times who claim to be news outlets, object to that whole thing. They just want Fox off the air.

So of course they write this piece and look how they do this. This is just, this is so Fox right here. I mean, this is so New York Times about Fox right here. The media jackals are all in on censoring the truth. They talk about selective edits to the video, comparing it to the lawsuit Fox is undergoing right now about their election coverage, right? Selective edits. That is hilarious. So these same idiots at the New York Times, who levied no objection whatsoever when the January 6th committee selectively edited the Josh Hawley video, the crowd video, all of it.

When they selectively edited all that, the New York Times couldn't have gave about any of that. But now all of a sudden they're talking about selective edits on Tucker Carlson's part. You're a joke. You're a clown. Thankfully, he was pointed out in the Washington Times by Kerry Pickett with this piece, where she talks about what I always call the fliparoo theory. Whatever the Democrats accuse and the media accuse you of doing, they're doing themselves. So she asked Penny Thompson, the Democrat hack chair of the January 6th committee. She said, hey, you keep making these charges about selectively editing videos, yet it appears from the Josh Hawley video and the Jacob Chansley video that you guys selectively edited.

She notes they added sounds of screaming people that Tucker Carlson figured this out. They withheld video of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick. They edited a clip of Josh Hawley implying he was a coward. And of course, Benny Thompson said what? This is the it was other kids approach. That's not true. And of course, the New York Times has no objection to this at all.

Jeremy W. Peters, a total life loser in zero, an embarrassment to his family and neighbors, right? He has no objection to this at all because he's a deep state totalitarian goon loser. They absolutely selectively edited the video, the libs and the media. He doesn't care at all because they're invested in a story, not the story. These people, the New York Times, the Washington Post, they want you targeted.

They prefer you in jail. They want you censored. Please stop mistaking this for some friendly fight. They're not interested in that. They're interested in making sure you suffer. I say in my book that I referenced in the beginning of the show, forgive me for bringing it up again, but the chapter in the book about rumble and parlor, when I talk about the exploding growth of the parallel economy, I don't pull any punches. There's a specific line in there. These people, it's the liberal portion, the totalitarians, they would hurt you if they could.

Make no mistake. These people are crazy. The objections I made at the beginning of the show, categorically, to political violence, do not apply to the left. They will apologize for Antifa and BLM no matter who they burn down, what business they burn down, or whose ass they kick.

And they'd like it more if it's yours. Now, hat tip, Kevin McCarthy did a good job. He could have caved to the pressure yesterday. And honestly, I was a little nervous. But Speaker McCarthy did not cave. He held his ground. Yesterday, we covered the approved media narrative to try to combat and censor the January 6th videos and tell the truth

about what happened. What's the narrative, fellas? You remember? Exposing security methods, which is so ridiculous, even for the dunce jackal liberal media, it's kind of hilarious. So McCarthy brings up an interesting point. Oh, CNN and others, all of a sudden you care about the security stuff? That's interesting, because it wasn't you guys who published the exact relocation center we were all taken to that we can't use anymore. Oh, that's interesting. As Alec Baldwin said when he tried to be a radio host, interesting. Interesting.

Here, here's McCarthy calling out the media. Good job. Check this out. But why, Mr. Speaker, do you believe in this portrayal of what happened then? Look, each person can come up with their own conclusion, but what I just want to make sure is I had transparency. Because I know in CNN, I mean, I had here where you guys actually broke where we were.

This was a secret location, Fort McGlare. I don't know if you got concerned by that. I don't even know from a point of view of security if we could ever be taken there again. But when you broke that at CNN, that was a real concern to a lot of people. I had a real concern also when I wanted to make sure transparency. Good for you, for the speaker. And shame, shame on these other Republicans on the Senate side who are falling right in with the leftist narrative. Folks, it's okay to not think like an automaton Borg robot and to have two separate thoughts in your head at the same time because they can coexist. I can like

Guy and Joe at the same time. It's not zero sum. I don't appreciate Guy's work at the expense of Joe's work. It's not how this works. They do different jobs. Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, and others are apparently incapable of any of this. Mitch McConnell didn't seem the least bit concerned about the selective editing of the Josh Hawley video, the selective editing of the Jacob Chansley video. He didn't appear even at all concerned about the bevy of footage showing that the large portions of the people who were in there were not in fact rioting. He didn't seem concerned about that at all. He seemed only concerned with parroting the leftist narrative that this was some massive insurrection. Good for McCarthy. Please, please do not back down. I'm telling you, we are with you. You can hold two thoughts in your head at the same time that that shouldn't have happened,

but what happened with the media and the libs afterwards shouldn't have happened either. Now, of course, counting on people in the media to actually get this thing right, who are people in the media who I'm sorry. And again, I'm not trying to be overly hostile today, but an experience that changed my life was when I was the press agent with the secret service. When you're the new guy on the president's detail, Joe, they stick you with the press because you could do the least damage there. You know, you don't know what you're doing yet. So like, yeah, go with the press or, you know, it's screwed up over there.

Don't worry about it. Right. That's in the book. Yeah. I write that in the book. That's a good point. Yeah. It's a secret service chapter. I write about that whole thing. Right. You remember that you've got a good memory. So having spent a lot of time around the press on the road, I'm not kidding. The conversations you hear, I was stunned at how genuinely stupid they are.

They don't know anything about anything. They're really dumb. So none of this surprises me. So of course, the Vanity Fair and others are out there criticizing Tucker Carlson for actually exposing the truth. They don't want the truth. So a guy by the name of David Lazarus, at David Laz, I guess he works at KTLA, I saw, tweeted out, I'm reasonably certain the First Amendment wasn't intended to protect speech aimed at deceiving the American people and undermining democracy. It gets better.

This guy clearly hasn't read the First Amendment. Don't worry, he works for KTLA. He says, the lady responds back and says, well, most lies are protected under the First Amendment, which in fact is true. It's illegal to lie, last time I checked. Lazarus responds, most, not all, see yelling fire in a crowded movie theater. Again with the crowded movie theater.

There we go again. The crowded movie theater. Ladies and gentlemen, from what I see, this guy works in the media. He doesn't even know this. This is so bad. This is how bad this is a joke we've used this fire in a movie theater piece of the atlantic so many times that when i said to gee this morning can you please pull it again he was like yeah i got it was like right there from the atlantic they left the salad please someone send this to david at david laz who apparently doesn't know

that that's not a thing. It's time to stop using the fire in a crowded theater court. This is the Atlantic, by the way, left-leaning outlet. They're quoting Oliver Wenderhomes, and they might actually want to read the case where the phrase originated before using it as their defense, like David Laz did. If they did, they realized it was never binding law. And the underlying case is not only one of the most odious free speech decisions in the court's history, but was overturned 40 years ago. It's so it's so easy. Next thing you know, Joe, David Laz will be promoting trickle down economics, too. He'll tell you that's real.

Why not? Yeah, this is the fair share, right? Or the fair share where the rich don't pay their fair share. Good point. Folks, the police state is here. And now it's enveloping Elon Musk, too, which, of course, was only a matter of time. He's an enemy of the state because he has supported free speech at Twitter. And I just told you they don't want free speech.

You've been fired at a movie theater, right? What happened at the FTC? If you're like, who's the FTC? Which is probably a fair question. It's the Federal Trade Commission. You're like, what? The FTC? What the hell's the FTC?

It's like the FBI. No, no, it's not. The FTC is now demanding Twitter turnover internal communications related to owner Elon Musk, as well as information about layoffs at the company. I'll keep that up a second. If you're asking yourself right now, what business is it the FTC of the FTC to question a private business, Elon Musk's Twitter over their HR decisions? The answer is there is no reason.

It's a freaking police state apparatchik of Joe Biden's new police state. Here, it gets better. The FTC also asked, asked Joe, quite demanded, the company identify all journalists granted access to company records and to provide information about the launch of Twitter blue. Wait, what? Now they want. So just to be clear, we do have a constitution protecting our media and we do have a constitution protecting free speech. The FTC is now demanding their communications with journalists. Ladies and gentlemen, the lady running the FTC, Lena Kahn, is a freaking lunatic. She is a crazy person drunk with power who is destroying that entity, the FTC. I expect lawsuits and hearings on this immediately.

Folks, it's a big deal. I beg of you, please don't let this go. Contact your congresswoman or congressman today and ask them about just because if this continues this bureaucratic police state that just usurps power starts demanding demanding this demanding that then we have there's nothing left folks now elon musk has been a target for a long time. Elon Musk, because he bought Twitter, brought in a new culture of free speech, and they hate that. They hate that. Tucker brought up a great point last night on his show. Remember this question months ago,

Joe Biden received about Elon Musk in a press conference where he kind of hints and nods that Elon Musk is some enemy of the state, which is really weird because they had government contracts with him for rockets. So you gave him all that sensitive information. So strange. It's almost as if, again, the police state is here and anyone on the side of free speech is an enemy of that police state. Take a listen yourself. Mr. President, do you think Elon Musk is a threat to U.S. national security? And should the U.S. and with the tools you have investigate his joint acquisition of Twitter with foreign governments, which include the Saudis? I think that Elon Musk's cooperation and or technical relationships with other countries is worthy of being looked at.

is worthy of being looked at. You'll notice that in that brief moment of lucid thought, he giggled because he's thinking to himself, is Elon Musk a threat because of his relationship with foreign countries? Wait, I pressured the Ukrainian government to do business with my son and helped him with his business deals with China. And now we're going after Elon Musk. OK, that's a great point. So it's okay for Biden Inc.

to take massive payouts from enemy nuclear-powered enemies of the United States in some cases. That's okay. But Elon Musk operating businesses that have international contracts is worthy of a federal government investigation and an inquiry by the FTC

asking him about their contacts with journalists? You know, folks, I'm not going to complain without giving you a solution. 2024 is coming up. I get your frustration with the election process over the last two cycles. I'm not going to minimize that at all. I'm not even going to waste my time. I get it. I'm with you 100%. You understand? I get it. I totally get it. However, I'm not giving up. What are you going to do? Give up? I got kids.

I'm just going to give up and let the country just go to hell. I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. I'm going to fight with everything I have. And if this place goes down and burns, I'm burning with it. I'm going down with the damn ship. But I'm telling you right now, man, 2024 is coming up. And do not even consider voting for a candidate that is not consider that is not as a party platform, a plank in it.

Consider a massive deconstruction of the federal Leviathan we have now. Massive. I'm not talking about tinkering around the agents around the inches. I'm talking about eliminating agencies altogether. This FTC story is a huge deal. They targeted Elon Musk. Police states do what? They target people and they look for the crime later.

They don't investigate a crime. There's no allegation of a crime that the FTC or the FBI or anybody was investigating over there. They don't like that they fired people, so they're targeting them. That is the very hallmark of a police state. The FTC is not a criminal investigative body anyway. But it doesn't matter. They will abuse their power.
