  • Joined as always. well, not as always.
  • 00:00:18.207 --> 00:00:20.542
  • Not it. a little hit and miss as off.

  • That would be blake neff.
  • 00:00:26.281 --> 00:00:27.516
  • Not so secret weapon.
  • 00:00:27.516 --> 00:00:29.351
  • And co-host.
  • 00:00:29.351 --> 00:00:31.386
  • Here we are now, breaking new account
  • 00:00:31.386 --> 00:00:34.490
  • Linked to thomas matthew crooks shows
  • 00:00:34.490 --> 00:00:37.559
  • A furry fetish and transgender ideology
  • 00:00:37.559 --> 00:00:41.396
  • And interest at least referred to himself as they them.
  • 00:00:41.396 --> 00:00:45.767
  • And obviously thomas matthew crooks is the attempted
  • 00:00:45.767 --> 00:00:48.270
  • Assassination of president trump in butler, pennsylvania,
  • 00:00:48.270 --> 00:00:53.142
  • Who had no, we were told, no digital trail whatsoever.
  • 00:00:53.142 --> 00:00:55.811
  • Well, let's let's lay it out here.
  • 00:00:55.811 --> 00:00:57.212
  • So last week, tucker released a video
  • 00:00:57.212 --> 00:01:00.883
  • Which just dived into the thomas crooks case.
  • 00:01:00.883 --> 00:01:03.785
  • As you guys probably remember, the fbi began looking into it
  • 00:01:03.785 --> 00:01:07.556
  • And essentially said, there's no manifesto.
  • 00:01:07.556 --> 00:01:10.192
  • We don't have an obvious motive for what this was,
  • 00:01:10.192 --> 00:01:12.628
  • And he seems to have very little online trail.
  • 00:01:12.628 --> 00:01:15.164
  • And they kind of left it there.
  • 00:01:15.164 --> 00:01:17.466
  • There's been repeated efforts by congress
  • 00:01:17.466 --> 00:01:20.135
  • To get more information.
  • 00:01:20.135 --> 00:01:21.069
  • It hasn't really led to many places.
  • 00:01:21.069 --> 00:01:23.372
  • And so, what tucker was able to do
  • 00:01:23.372 --> 00:01:25.707
  • Is they found they kind of did standard forensic work.
  • 00:01:25.707 --> 00:01:29.077
  • It wasn't a leak.
  • 00:01:29.077 --> 00:01:29.845
  • They got a private investigator
  • 00:01:29.845 --> 00:01:31.180
  • And he use tools that they had.
  • 00:01:31.180 --> 00:01:32.848
  • They knew one of his email addresses,
  • 00:01:32.848 --> 00:01:34.917
  • And then they found accounts linked to that email address.
  • 00:01:34.917 --> 00:01:37.319
  • And then they were able to use internet
  • 00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:38.687
  • Archive pages and a few other things.
  • 00:01:38.687 --> 00:01:40.222
  • And they found
  • 00:01:40.222 --> 00:01:41.390
  • Some traces of his online presence, certainly not all.
  • 00:01:41.390 --> 00:01:43.625
  • They found traces in 19 different profiles.
  • 00:01:43.625 --> 00:01:46.261
  • The main thing they had, though, was that.
  • 00:01:46.261 --> 00:01:47.963
  • But i mean, i'm not saying that they were extensive
  • 00:01:47.963 --> 00:01:49.932
  • Footprints in in any of these. yeah.
  • 00:01:49.932 --> 00:01:51.900
  • But to find 19 but
  • 00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:53.268
  • The main thing they just had was just youtube comments,
  • 00:01:53.268 --> 00:01:55.837
  • Which is well, pretty low tier of internet engagement.
  • 00:01:55.837 --> 00:01:59.241
  • So he had the internet comments which showed
  • 00:01:59.241 --> 00:02:01.877
  • He was making threats.
  • 00:02:01.877 --> 00:02:02.878
  • They signaled that when he was pretty young.
  • 00:02:02.878 --> 00:02:05.380
  • This is all this ends in 2020 when he's 16 years old.
  • 00:02:05.380 --> 00:02:08.884
  • And some of it's earlier than that.
  • 00:02:08.884 --> 00:02:10.519
  • But he was saying pretty violent rhetoric,
  • 00:02:10.519 --> 00:02:12.688
  • Threatening rhetoric actually against immigrants and stuff.
  • 00:02:12.688 --> 00:02:14.723
  • So the fbi had framed it.
  • 00:02:14.723 --> 00:02:16.291
  • Oh, he might have kind of been right
  • 00:02:16.291 --> 00:02:17.726
  • Wing motivated by anti-immigrant stuff.
  • 00:02:17.726 --> 00:02:19.828
  • What they found was he'd started
  • 00:02:19.828 --> 00:02:22.297
  • To turn around covid, where he seemed to, actually
  • 00:02:22.297 --> 00:02:27.536
  • Be very against, trump's handling of covid.
  • 00:02:27.536 --> 00:02:30.839
  • He seemed to be extremely angry about people
  • 00:02:30.839 --> 00:02:32.908
  • Who wouldn't mask up or people who wouldn't, like,
  • 00:02:32.908 --> 00:02:36.578
  • Follow lockdowns, or so it seemed.
  • 00:02:36.578 --> 00:02:38.080
  • It's not totally clear.
  • 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:39.314
  • But he was suddenly changing ideologically,
  • 00:02:39.314 --> 00:02:41.817
  • Which is, of course, a really annoying
  • 00:02:41.817 --> 00:02:43.385
  • Because then the trail goes cold.
  • 00:02:43.385 --> 00:02:45.887
  • Now, what happened there?
  • 00:02:45.887 --> 00:02:46.989
  • We're not sure it could be.
  • 00:02:46.989 --> 00:02:48.590
  • He started registering for new accounts with a new email.
  • 00:02:48.590 --> 00:02:51.660
  • We don't know of their site sites.
  • 00:02:51.660 --> 00:02:53.562
  • You can use
  • 00:02:53.562 --> 00:02:54.096
  • Like ten minute mail
  • 00:02:54.096 --> 00:02:54.997
  • To sign up for websites with a throwaway
  • 00:02:54.997 --> 00:02:56.665
  • Email that no one will ever link to you.
  • 00:02:56.665 --> 00:02:58.267
  • There's a lot of stuff that you can do now.
  • 00:02:58.267 --> 00:03:01.503
  • Today we have the new york post, which essentially did
  • 00:03:01.503 --> 00:03:04.506
  • The same thing tucker did,
  • 00:03:05.073 --> 00:03:07.242
  • But with the added caveat that they found
  • 00:03:07.242 --> 00:03:10.012
  • His deviantart tick.
  • 00:03:10.012 --> 00:03:11.179
  • How do you know what deviantart is that you do know?
  • 00:03:11.179 --> 00:03:13.715
  • What do you know what deviant art is out there?
  • 00:03:13.715 --> 00:03:16.752
  • On in the in the audience.
  • 00:03:16.752 --> 00:03:18.420
  • Send us your thoughts
  • 00:03:18.420 --> 00:03:19.955
  • Like send, send us your best deviantart.
  • 00:03:19.955 --> 00:03:22.224
  • So but here's you have any here's let me before we get to
  • 00:03:22.224 --> 00:03:24.993
  • That point right there there is a there is a an issue here.
  • 00:03:24.993 --> 00:03:28.897
  • So because in july, on july 13th, 2024,
  • 00:03:28.897 --> 00:03:33.335
  • Fbi director chris wray told congress that
  • 00:03:33.335 --> 00:03:36.271
  • The bureau had found nothing in crook's online history
  • 00:03:36.271 --> 00:03:39.241
  • That pointed to motive or political ideology.
  • 00:03:39.241 --> 00:03:41.610
  • A week later, ray's deputy, paul abbott,
  • 00:03:41.610 --> 00:03:44.646
  • And i'm reading from miranda's report here, paul abbott
  • 00:03:44.646 --> 00:03:47.482
  • Told congress that comments posted on one of kirk's
  • 00:03:47.482 --> 00:03:50.786
  • His social media accounts appear to reflect anti-semitic
  • 00:03:50.786 --> 00:03:53.488
  • And anti-immigration themes to espouse political violence.
  • 00:03:53.488 --> 00:03:57.025
  • So but here's the problem
  • 00:03:57.592 --> 00:03:59.728
  • That this left
  • 00:04:00.062 --> 00:04:01.596
  • Out a huge chunk of the timeline
  • 00:04:01.596 --> 00:04:04.533
  • Right where it show it seems to indicate a pivot
  • 00:04:04.533 --> 00:04:08.770
  • From what you would consider, i guess, right.
  • 00:04:08.770 --> 00:04:12.574
  • More right leaning ideology, i guess because of the
  • 00:04:12.574 --> 00:04:16.178
  • Immigration stuff
  • 00:04:16.178 --> 00:04:17.546
  • To anti-trump rhetoric, anti, government rhetoric.
  • 00:04:17.546 --> 00:04:21.950
  • So it was an omission.
  • 00:04:21.950 --> 00:04:23.819
  • It left an entire section out from january to august 2020,
  • 00:04:23.819 --> 00:04:27.155
  • When he did an ideological backflip
  • 00:04:27.155 --> 00:04:30.292
  • And went from rabidly pro-trump to rabidly anti-trump.
  • 00:04:30.292 --> 00:04:33.995
  • And then he went dark, seemingly never to post again.
  • 00:04:33.995 --> 00:04:37.733
  • Now that's a huge, huge question. yeah.
  • 00:04:37.733 --> 00:04:40.068
  • You know,
  • 00:04:40.068 --> 00:04:40.569
  • Like an august 2020,
  • 00:04:40.569 --> 00:04:42.104
  • One of his last things that we had was, in my opinion,
  • 00:04:42.104 --> 00:04:44.906
  • The only way to fight
  • 00:04:44.906 --> 00:04:46.007
  • The gov is with terrorism style attacks.
  • 00:04:46.007 --> 00:04:48.477
  • Sneak a bomb into an essential building
  • 00:04:48.477 --> 00:04:50.712
  • And set it off before anyone sees you.
  • 00:04:50.712 --> 00:04:52.948
  • Track down any important people politicians, military
  • 00:04:52.948 --> 00:04:55.751
  • Leaders, etc.
  • 00:04:55.751 --> 00:04:56.885
  • And try to assassinate them.
  • 00:04:56.885 --> 00:04:59.421
  • He said that and he
  • 00:04:59.421 --> 00:05:02.758
  • It seems you know, the truth is, a lot of people who become
  • 00:05:02.758 --> 00:05:05.327
  • Violent assassins or terrorists often are all over the map.
  • 00:05:05.327 --> 00:05:09.598
  • And that's why it's so frustrating.
  • 00:05:09.598 --> 00:05:10.799
  • It goes cold in 2020 because 16 to 20,
  • 00:05:10.799 --> 00:05:14.503
  • If you're already an unstable guy, is going to be an absolute
  • 00:05:14.503 --> 00:05:17.539
  • Rocket ship of potential ideological changes.
  • 00:05:17.539 --> 00:05:20.776
  • I know someone there was a guy i knew in high school.
  • 00:05:20.776 --> 00:05:22.711
  • Not even an extremist.
  • 00:05:22.711 --> 00:05:23.612
  • I shouldn't say he was not a violent guy,
  • 00:05:23.612 --> 00:05:25.180
  • But i knew a guy who,
  • 00:05:25.180 --> 00:05:26.648
  • When he was a sophomore in high school,
  • 00:05:26.648 --> 00:05:28.016
  • He was an iron man fan, objectivist,
  • 00:05:28.016 --> 00:05:30.485
  • And then by the time i was, he was a freshman in college,
  • 00:05:30.485 --> 00:05:34.089
  • He was a full like, lenin did nothing wrong.
  • 00:05:34.089 --> 00:05:37.826
  • Communist. wow.
  • 00:05:37.826 --> 00:05:39.027
  • And then for a while, his ideology was
  • 00:05:39.027 --> 00:05:40.929
  • Whatever gets us to space fastest.
  • 00:05:40.929 --> 00:05:42.764
  • And last time i checked, he was a maga supporter.
  • 00:05:42.764 --> 00:05:45.000
  • So some people just whip all over the place
  • 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.602
  • When they're young adults.
  • 00:05:47.602 --> 00:05:49.137
  • And obviously this guy was very unstable to your point.
  • 00:05:49.137 --> 00:05:52.607
  • So on july 2020, 2019, he said the literal trump
  • 00:05:52.607 --> 00:05:57.579
  • Is the literal definition of patriotism.
  • 00:05:57.579 --> 00:06:00.449
  • Yeah, that's 2019.
  • 00:06:00.449 --> 00:06:02.884
  • And then, so
  • 00:06:03.218 --> 00:06:05.754
  • But by early 2020, crooks is he had flipped
  • 00:06:05.754 --> 00:06:08.623
  • 180, became very critical of trump, fox
  • 00:06:08.623 --> 00:06:11.793
  • News and republican complaints about mail-in voting.
  • 00:06:11.793 --> 00:06:15.664
  • So from so this is from what i say,
  • 00:06:15.664 --> 00:06:18.266
  • July 20th, 2019
  • 00:06:18.266 --> 00:06:20.969
  • To january 23rd, 2020.
  • 00:06:20.969 --> 00:06:23.371
  • So that's basically six months.
  • 00:06:23.371 --> 00:06:25.874
  • And he's he starts going after
  • 00:06:25.874 --> 00:06:28.710
  • President trump calling trump stupid.
  • 00:06:28.710 --> 00:06:31.413
  • But that's a six month window.
  • 00:06:31.413 --> 00:06:33.815
  • He seems to swerve.
  • 00:06:33.815 --> 00:06:35.617
  • I mean it was covid of course that drove people nuts.
  • 00:06:35.617 --> 00:06:37.586
  • But then yeah.
  • 00:06:37.586 --> 00:06:38.386
  • So the thing we specifically have
  • 00:06:38.386 --> 00:06:39.521
  • And then he describes
  • 00:06:39.521 --> 00:06:40.555
  • By the way he described trump as racist. yeah.
  • 00:06:40.555 --> 00:06:42.324
  • Well i know, but that's interesting.
  • 00:06:42.324 --> 00:06:43.792
  • He went from anti-immigrant screeds
  • 00:06:43.792 --> 00:06:46.027
  • About killing immigrants to describing trump as racist.
  • 00:06:46.027 --> 00:06:49.598
  • But anyway, what we have from the new york post
  • 00:06:49.598 --> 00:06:51.600
  • This morning, in addition to that,
  • 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.001
  • Which they kind of reaffirm and what was on tucker
  • 00:06:53.001 --> 00:06:55.203
  • Segment is
  • 00:06:55.203 --> 00:06:55.971
  • They found the deviantart account
  • 00:06:55.971 --> 00:06:57.506
  • And they say, and i'm very frustrated with this,
  • 00:06:57.506 --> 00:07:00.175
  • Because they say he appears to have been interested
  • 00:07:00.175 --> 00:07:02.010
  • In, quote, furries and exploring gender identity
  • 00:07:02.010 --> 00:07:04.713
  • First.
  • 00:07:04.713 --> 00:07:05.413
  • Apparently he used the pronouns
  • 00:07:05.413 --> 00:07:06.448
  • They them as his default on deviant art.
  • 00:07:06.448 --> 00:07:09.251
  • And also they say,
  • 00:07:09.684 --> 00:07:12.320
  • It had an obsession with scantily clad cartoon
  • 00:07:12.320 --> 00:07:17.392
  • Characters that had musclebound male bodies and female heads.
  • 00:07:17.392 --> 00:07:22.597
  • And so that's that's like a subgenre.
  • 00:07:23.331 --> 00:07:26.735
  • There's a lot of subgenres of it.
  • 00:07:26.735 --> 00:07:28.303
  • And i'm annoyed because, okay, they say that
  • 00:07:28.303 --> 00:07:31.806
  • And you'd want to know how much of their is that?
  • 00:07:31.806 --> 00:07:34.142
  • Because if they look at one that's different from
  • 00:07:34.142 --> 00:07:36.177
  • If they look at 100 or 1000 or 10,000
  • 00:07:36.177 --> 00:07:39.548
  • And, you know, it might be sort of disturbing.
  • 00:07:39.548 --> 00:07:42.751
  • And so you'd want to
  • 00:07:42.751 --> 00:07:43.718
  • Maybe censor parts of it for normal people.
  • 00:07:43.718 --> 00:07:45.220
  • But i suspect a lot of people are going to want to know,
  • 00:07:45.220 --> 00:07:47.155
  • What the heck are we talking about here?
  • 00:07:47.155 --> 00:07:48.723
  • Because as we'll get into in the next segment,
  • 00:07:48.723 --> 00:07:51.927
  • If he was really deep down that rabbit hole, he's
  • 00:07:51.927 --> 00:07:54.362
  • Going down a rabbit hole.
  • 00:07:54.362 --> 00:07:55.764
  • A lot of other people who eventually become violent
  • 00:07:55.764 --> 00:07:58.199
  • In the last couple of years have gone down well.
  • 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.001
  • And that's that's exactly we i mean,
  • 00:08:00.001 --> 00:08:02.270
  • The trans or gender confused
  • 00:08:02.871 --> 00:08:06.041
  • Community may be the most terror and terrorist prone.
  • 00:08:06.041 --> 00:08:09.711
  • Terrorism prone, community in the country.
  • 00:08:09.711 --> 00:08:13.248
  • Just it's it's totally possible.
  • 00:08:13.248 --> 00:08:15.116
  • I don't have the exact steps, but, man,
  • 00:08:15.116 --> 00:08:16.751
  • There's a lot of anecdotal evidence.
  • 00:08:16.751 --> 00:08:22.457
  • In genesis
  • 00:08:22.757 --> 00:08:23.658
  • 12 three, god made a powerful promise
  • 00:08:23.658 --> 00:08:26.294
  • To abraham, the father of the jewish people.
  • 00:08:26.294 --> 00:08:29.497
  • I will bless those who bless you.
  • 00:08:29.497 --> 00:08:32.701
  • The christian bible tells us
  • 00:08:32.701 --> 00:08:34.235
  • That we have been grafted into god's family tree.
  • 00:08:34.235 --> 00:08:37.205
  • The rich olive tree of israel,
  • 00:08:37.205 --> 00:08:39.608
  • The very foundations of the christian faith,
  • 00:08:39.608 --> 00:08:42.010
  • The bible and jesus, whom christians call
  • 00:08:42.010 --> 00:08:44.613
  • The messiah, are deeply rooted in israel.
  • 00:08:44.613 --> 00:08:48.083
  • Supporting israel aligns christians with god's
  • 00:08:48.083 --> 00:08:50.719
  • Prophetic timeline.
  • 00:08:50.719 --> 00:08:52.087
  • It demonstrates our willingness to be instruments of
  • 00:08:52.087 --> 00:08:55.323
  • God's blessing, uplifting his chosen people,
  • 00:08:55.323 --> 00:08:58.893
  • And it calls us to confront and heal
  • 00:08:58.893 --> 00:09:01.196
  • The centuries old wounds of anti-semitism.
  • 00:09:01.196 --> 00:09:04.232
  • The scripture says how good and how
  • 00:09:04.232 --> 00:09:06.668
  • Pleasant it is when brethren dwell together.
  • 00:09:06.668 --> 00:09:09.971
  • You can be part of this historic movement
  • 00:09:09.971 --> 00:09:13.508

  • And you could add to his list

  • In live with transgender boyfriend.

  • Okay, there's one.
  • 00:09:42.605 --> 00:09:44.006
  • It's the alleged assassin.
  • 00:09:44.006 --> 00:09:45.107
  • Their annunciation
  • 00:09:45.107 --> 00:09:46.042
  • Catholic church shooter, identified as trans
  • 00:09:46.042 --> 00:09:49.045
  • Nashville christian shooter, identified as trans.

  • I was a female to male, lakewood church

  • Shooter, identified as trans colorado springs shooter.
  • 00:09:55.985 --> 00:09:59.288
  • Identified as non-binary denver shooter, identified as trans
  • 00:09:59.288 --> 00:10:03.325
  • Aberdeen shooter.
  • 00:10:03.325 --> 00:10:04.326
  • Identified as trans iowa high school shooter.
  • 00:10:04.326 --> 00:10:06.996
  • Trans activist.
  • 00:10:06.996 --> 00:10:09.265
  • So you've got annunciation, robin
  • 00:10:09.265 --> 00:10:13.302
  • Westman, nashville, audrey hail lake.
  • 00:10:13.302 --> 00:10:16.272
  • So these are some of these famous names you had
  • 00:10:16.272 --> 00:10:18.407
  • You had the brett kavanaugh attempted
  • 00:10:18.407 --> 00:10:20.976
  • Assassin, went by sophie rask.
  • 00:10:20.976 --> 00:10:23.679
  • Yeah.
  • 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:24.213
  • And that's the thing
  • 00:10:24.213 --> 00:10:25.247
  • That's happened after the, the attack, i believe.
  • 00:10:25.247 --> 00:10:28.084
  • Correct.
  • 00:10:28.084 --> 00:10:29.118
  • I'm not sure on the time, i think on that one.
  • 00:10:29.118 --> 00:10:30.886
  • And you'll find out for us.
  • 00:10:30.886 --> 00:10:32.054
  • I mean, they were probably a little on
  • 00:10:32.054 --> 00:10:33.556
  • I mean, i was going to say,
  • 00:10:33.556 --> 00:10:35.057
  • You know, but what, what what is really
  • 00:10:35.057 --> 00:10:37.293
  • Disconcerting here is that it seems to be something where
  • 00:10:37.293 --> 00:10:43.365
  • You have
  • 00:10:43.632 --> 00:10:44.567
  • Unstable people that get into an ideology
  • 00:10:44.567 --> 00:10:47.269
  • That basically unmoored them from reality.
  • 00:10:47.269 --> 00:10:50.106
  • And what i believe happens now,
  • 00:10:50.106 --> 00:10:51.574
  • I'm not a psychologist, but it seems to fit
  • 00:10:51.574 --> 00:10:54.376
  • That when you become unmoored from your physical,
  • 00:10:54.376 --> 00:10:57.480
  • God given attributes, or believe that you can become
  • 00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:01.016
  • Disassociated with them in some way,
  • 00:11:01.016 --> 00:11:03.119
  • That you become unmoored from morality, good and evil,
  • 00:11:03.119 --> 00:11:06.355
  • Right and wrong, these binaries
  • 00:11:06.355 --> 00:11:08.157
  • That bind humanity and societies together.
  • 00:11:08.157 --> 00:11:11.093
  • And if you have an unstable, proclivity,
  • 00:11:11.093 --> 00:11:14.463
  • Then guess what's going to happen?
  • 00:11:14.463 --> 00:11:15.731
  • You're going to be tapped into a whole ideology
  • 00:11:15.731 --> 00:11:17.833
  • That basically says, up is not up. down is not down.
  • 00:11:17.833 --> 00:11:20.336
  • Right is not wrong. it's potentially a few things.
  • 00:11:20.336 --> 00:11:22.571
  • And we should caveat,
  • 00:11:22.571 --> 00:11:23.472
  • Of course, it's all like it's kind of this
  • 00:11:23.472 --> 00:11:26.375
  • Wave of them is pretty new.
  • 00:11:26.375 --> 00:11:27.710
  • It's a transgenderism wave in general.
  • 00:11:27.710 --> 00:11:29.645
  • It's pretty recent.
  • 00:11:29.645 --> 00:11:30.679
  • It exploded really just in the past ten years.
  • 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.115
  • And it's among young people.
  • 00:11:33.115 --> 00:11:34.517
  • So you're looking or really just having people
  • 00:11:34.517 --> 00:11:37.419
  • Aging into their late teens, early 20s
  • 00:11:37.419 --> 00:11:40.623
  • Who are really blasted by this psychological,
  • 00:11:40.623 --> 00:11:44.994
  • Contagion when they were, you know, when the.
  • 00:11:45.861 --> 00:11:48.731
  • Yeah, the social contagion, when they were in
  • 00:11:48.731 --> 00:11:50.466
  • Middle school age, you know, early high school age.
  • 00:11:50.466 --> 00:11:53.002
  • Now these people are aging into where they're old enough,
  • 00:11:53.002 --> 00:11:55.671
  • They're autonomous enough to really potentially do things.
  • 00:11:55.671 --> 00:11:59.308
  • And it's, as you say, it's like there's
  • 00:11:59.308 --> 00:12:01.377
  • A bit of the denial of reality.
  • 00:12:01.377 --> 00:12:02.645
  • I think another thing is if you're
  • 00:12:02.645 --> 00:12:05.181
  • If you've been exposed
  • 00:12:05.181 --> 00:12:06.148
  • To these communities, you know, they can be
  • 00:12:06.148 --> 00:12:08.584
  • Very out there, very unhinged.
  • 00:12:08.584 --> 00:12:11.420
  • They're very indulging of like extreme wild rhetoric.
  • 00:12:11.420 --> 00:12:14.256
  • So if you hear i mean, for example, i saw when people
  • 00:12:14.256 --> 00:12:17.760
  • Were reacting to charlie stuff, i routinely saw
  • 00:12:17.760 --> 00:12:21.564
  • People with, you know, lgbtq flag, trans
  • 00:12:21.564 --> 00:12:23.833
  • Flags be like, charlie kirk wanted me dead.
  • 00:12:23.833 --> 00:12:26.535
  • Charlie kirk wanted everyone like me.
  • 00:12:26.535 --> 00:12:28.437
  • They they really indulge a lot of that hysterical rhetoric.
  • 00:12:28.437 --> 00:12:31.440
  • So there's an entire sub community of people
  • 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.475
  • Who are not mentally well in the first place
  • 00:12:33.475 --> 00:12:35.911
  • That is also constantly feeding them.
  • 00:12:35.911 --> 00:12:37.847
  • There's are people who want to commit genocide against you.
  • 00:12:37.847 --> 00:12:40.916
  • There are people who specifically want to kill you.
  • 00:12:40.916 --> 00:12:42.551
  • They are a threat to you.
  • 00:12:42.551 --> 00:12:43.752
  • Well, and it's like you, an unstable person,
  • 00:12:43.752 --> 00:12:46.789
  • Should think that this person is a full genocidal
  • 00:12:46.789 --> 00:12:49.792
  • Nazi and will, like, kill you if you don't do something
  • 00:12:49.792 --> 00:12:52.561
  • About it.
  • 00:12:52.561 --> 00:12:53.829
  • So it's feeding unstable people the justification for extreme
  • 00:12:53.829 --> 00:12:57.132
  • Acts of violence. yeah, 1,000% agree with that.
  • 00:12:57.132 --> 00:12:59.602
  • And you put on top of that.
  • 00:12:59.602 --> 00:13:01.503
  • Blake, a lot of drug use, whether that's simple things
  • 00:13:01.503 --> 00:13:05.708
  • Like vaping thc all the time or harder drugs or,
  • 00:13:05.708 --> 00:13:09.879
  • Or the hormonal replacement drugs or, testosterone replace.
  • 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.382
  • Yeah. if you read so again, this is this is background.
  • 00:13:13.382 --> 00:13:15.985
  • But if you look into someone's been posting,
  • 00:13:15.985 --> 00:13:18.554
  • Claims he's been getting, like, discord messages
  • 00:13:18.554 --> 00:13:20.623
  • And such that he was in the discord group
  • 00:13:20.623 --> 00:13:22.324
  • That charlie's alleged shooter was in, and he's been saying
  • 00:13:22.324 --> 00:13:25.961
  • That his his boyfriend was like on tons of drugs
  • 00:13:25.961 --> 00:13:30.933
  • All of the time and like, oh yeah, really heavy stuff.
  • 00:13:30.933 --> 00:13:34.770
  • And, you know, it's all speculative
  • 00:13:34.770 --> 00:13:36.238
  • How much that actually affected. yeah.
  • 00:13:36.238 --> 00:13:38.107
  • Everyone else.
  • 00:13:38.107 --> 00:13:39.675
  • But it's just there's a lot of.
  • 00:13:39.675 --> 00:13:41.844
  • Well, i just think about what you're doing.
  • 00:13:42.711 --> 00:13:44.113
  • You're taking people who are unwell, pumping them
  • 00:13:44.113 --> 00:13:46.482
  • Potentially full of hormones,
  • 00:13:46.482 --> 00:13:47.549
  • Pumping them full of other drugs.
  • 00:13:47.549 --> 00:13:48.784
  • None of these have remotely been studied
  • 00:13:48.784 --> 00:13:50.352
  • For how they intersect with each other.
  • 00:13:50.352 --> 00:13:51.854
  • There's a total unwillingness to take that question
  • 00:13:51.854 --> 00:13:54.356
  • Seriously, especially during peak woke.
  • 00:13:54.356 --> 00:13:56.859
  • And, you know, you're just
  • 00:13:56.859 --> 00:13:59.128
  • It's like taking
  • 00:13:59.128 --> 00:14:00.296
  • A bunch of random chemicals and putting them in a jar
  • 00:14:00.296 --> 00:14:02.164
  • And shaking it as hard as you can
  • 00:14:02.164 --> 00:14:03.565
  • And then throwing it somewhere.
  • 00:14:03.565 --> 00:14:04.667
  • Well, absolutely.
  • 00:14:04.667 --> 00:14:05.501
  • And we don't know the ramifications
  • 00:14:05.501 --> 00:14:07.303
  • Long term for a lot of this stuff.
  • 00:14:07.303 --> 00:14:08.537
  • But let's go ahead.
  • 00:14:08.537 --> 00:14:09.204
  • And i saw this image go up.
  • 00:14:09.204 --> 00:14:10.239
  • But let's start it up again 89.
  • 00:14:10.239 --> 00:14:12.441
  • This is 7.2% of u.s.
  • 00:14:12.441 --> 00:14:14.410
  • Adults identifies lgbt.
  • 00:14:14.410 --> 00:14:16.478
  • But look at those red graphs on the right.
  • 00:14:16.478 --> 00:14:19.815
  • That's 19.7% of gen z in 2022.
  • 00:14:19.815 --> 00:14:24.787
  • So presumably that number would be higher.
  • 00:14:24.787 --> 00:14:26.956
  • Now, although we have seen a reversal
  • 00:14:26.956 --> 00:14:28.390
  • Of some of these trends
  • 00:14:28.390 --> 00:14:29.425
  • Just because we've actually winning,
  • 00:14:29.425 --> 00:14:31.226
  • Fighting and winning cultural battles.
  • 00:14:31.226 --> 00:14:33.195
  • You get this. let's go to image.
  • 00:14:33.195 --> 00:14:35.564
  • I'm not sure which one.
  • 00:14:35.564 --> 00:14:38.634
  • This is a 90.
  • 00:14:38.634 --> 00:14:40.269
  • This is gallup poll. okay.
  • 00:14:40.269 --> 00:14:41.904
  • So nearly 4 in 10 young liberal women identify as lgbt.
  • 00:14:41.904 --> 00:14:46.608
  • Okay.
  • 00:14:46.842 --> 00:14:47.743
  • So that's that that big huge graph right
  • 00:14:47.743 --> 00:14:49.945
  • There, 18 to 29 year old liberal women is almost
  • 00:14:49.945 --> 00:14:53.449
  • Is at 38% identify as lgbt.
  • 00:14:53.449 --> 00:14:56.852
  • So we talk about the social contagion of it all.
  • 00:14:56.852 --> 00:14:59.521

  • Where are the tears from the pain.
  • 00:15:12.634 --> 00:15:16.238
  • The life that she lived.
  • 00:15:16.238 --> 00:15:18.374
  • She's a survivor of auschwitz.
  • 00:15:18.374 --> 00:15:21.810
  • The years that they would just beat her ears.
  • 00:15:21.810 --> 00:15:24.580
  • That she didn't have food and felt hungry.
  • 00:15:24.580 --> 00:15:27.883
  • And our answer is love.
  • 00:15:28.384 --> 00:15:31.620

  • And i want to play cut 107 is a little preview.
  • 00:16:19.370 --> 00:16:22.173
  • Purchasing power dropped by about $3,000 under joe biden
  • 00:16:22.173 --> 00:16:25.209
  • Because the wages didn't keep up with prices.
  • 00:16:25.209 --> 00:16:27.578
  • Under president trump, it's already gone up by about 1200.
  • 00:16:27.578 --> 00:16:30.714
  • We understand that people still feel the pain
  • 00:16:30.714 --> 00:16:33.484
  • Of the high prices, but we're closing the gap.
  • 00:16:33.484 --> 00:16:36.353
  • I'm filling the gap fast. i don't want to.
  • 00:16:36.353 --> 00:16:38.222
  • All right.
  • 00:16:38.222 --> 00:16:39.023
  • I'm excited to welcome kevin hassett,
  • 00:16:39.023 --> 00:16:40.624
  • The man in that clip, director
  • 00:16:40.624 --> 00:16:41.859
  • Of the national economic council of the united states.
  • 00:16:41.859 --> 00:16:44.728
  • Welcome to the show, sir.
  • 00:16:44.728 --> 00:16:46.297
  • Honored to have you back again.
  • 00:16:46.297 --> 00:16:47.698
  • Back.
  • 00:16:47.698 --> 00:16:49.366
  • Yeah it's great to be back.
  • 00:16:49.366 --> 00:16:50.734
  • It's great to have you and i, we
  • 00:16:50.734 --> 00:16:52.336
  • You know i used to talk about this with charlie
  • 00:16:52.336 --> 00:16:53.804
  • Just how much we loved having you on the show
  • 00:16:53.804 --> 00:16:56.107
  • Because you, you have such an optimistic heir to you.
  • 00:16:56.107 --> 00:16:59.009
  • You, you you know, if there's, if there's doom
  • 00:16:59.009 --> 00:17:02.379
  • And gloom out there like you come on.
  • 00:17:02.379 --> 00:17:03.814
  • And you kind of make sense of it, and you and you,
  • 00:17:03.814 --> 00:17:05.950
  • You kind of steady everybody's nerves and you say,
  • 00:17:05.950 --> 00:17:07.985
  • Hey, listen, guys, look at, look at this piece of data.
  • 00:17:07.985 --> 00:17:10.387
  • Look at that.
  • 00:17:10.387 --> 00:17:11.188
  • And so this was i think
  • 00:17:11.188 --> 00:17:12.990
  • One of the key points and videos that i saw
  • 00:17:12.990 --> 00:17:15.159
  • Floating around this weekend,
  • 00:17:15.159 --> 00:17:16.794
  • Because you're talking about this affordability crisis
  • 00:17:16.794 --> 00:17:19.964
  • That has become, front and center, partly
  • 00:17:19.964 --> 00:17:22.066
  • Because some of charlie's tweets
  • 00:17:22.066 --> 00:17:23.968
  • Have become have gone viral and everybody's talking
  • 00:17:23.968 --> 00:17:26.337
  • About the housing affordability and things like that.
  • 00:17:26.337 --> 00:17:29.340
  • Why don't you just start right there?
  • 00:17:29.340 --> 00:17:30.608
  • Because people still feel the crunch of biden inflation.
  • 00:17:30.608 --> 00:17:35.112
  • I don't think anybody with a,
  • 00:17:35.112 --> 00:17:36.981
  • Rational mindset thinks that
  • 00:17:37.581 --> 00:17:39.216
  • That's all going to be wiped away in ten months,
  • 00:17:39.216 --> 00:17:41.252
  • But explain
  • 00:17:41.252 --> 00:17:42.419
  • The real metrics of it
  • 00:17:42.419 --> 00:17:43.754
  • And why people are still feeling this way.
  • 00:17:43.754 --> 00:17:46.357
  • Oh, sure, i absolutely will.
  • 00:17:46.357 --> 00:17:47.591
  • And again, it's my first time on the show
  • 00:17:47.591 --> 00:17:50.294
  • Since i was talking to charlie.
  • 00:17:50.294 --> 00:17:52.029
  • And one of the things
  • 00:17:52.029 --> 00:17:53.197
  • I remember best about him is how much he started
  • 00:17:53.197 --> 00:17:55.833
  • To love economics.
  • 00:17:55.833 --> 00:17:57.134
  • Yeah, i think you probably remember
  • 00:17:57.134 --> 00:17:58.736
  • Some of the conversations i had with him after the show,
  • 00:17:58.736 --> 00:18:01.605
  • Like when we weren't on tape, but but,
  • 00:18:01.605 --> 00:18:03.674
  • You know, i think that, the bottom line is that under
  • 00:18:03.674 --> 00:18:08.112
  • Joe biden, they spent like drunken sailors, and the fed
  • 00:18:08.112 --> 00:18:12.016
  • Basically printed the money to let them do that.
  • 00:18:12.016 --> 00:18:15.186
  • And, you know, everybody knows that that causes inflation.
  • 00:18:15.186 --> 00:18:18.122
  • Inflation went up almost a 10% average 5% a year.
  • 00:18:18.122 --> 00:18:21.992
  • And then interest rates went up a lot.
  • 00:18:21.992 --> 00:18:23.961
  • And so if you wanted, for example, to buy a new home,
  • 00:18:23.961 --> 00:18:26.730
  • The typical homeowner would see their mortgage
  • 00:18:26.730 --> 00:18:29.500
  • Payment double, and meanwhile, grocery prices went up.
  • 00:18:29.500 --> 00:18:34.672
  • And so, for example, a typical month's groceries
  • 00:18:34.672 --> 00:18:37.408
  • For the average family was about $400
  • 00:18:37.408 --> 00:18:39.610
  • When president trump took office.
  • 00:18:39.610 --> 00:18:40.945
  • It's about $515.
  • 00:18:40.945 --> 00:18:43.447
  • And, you know, when president trump came back again.
  • 00:18:43.447 --> 00:18:46.550
  • And so, people, right, rightly
  • 00:18:46.550 --> 00:18:49.520
  • Look back at those numbers as, hey, guys, you know,
  • 00:18:49.520 --> 00:18:52.289
  • I'm really having a hard time keeping ahead.
  • 00:18:52.289 --> 00:18:54.491
  • Now. we've got mortgage rates down.
  • 00:18:54.491 --> 00:18:56.227
  • And so the monthly payments are going down,
  • 00:18:56.227 --> 00:18:58.162
  • Making it easier to buy a car because we're letting
  • 00:18:58.162 --> 00:19:00.664
  • You deduct the interest.
  • 00:19:00.664 --> 00:19:02.333
  • And inflation itself has dropped down to about 2.5%
  • 00:19:02.333 --> 00:19:06.070
  • Right now.
  • 00:19:06.070 --> 00:19:06.971
  • But,
  • 00:19:06.971 --> 00:19:08.072
  • You know, if joe biden doubles your mortgage payment
  • 00:19:08.072 --> 00:19:11.242
  • And then it goes down a little bit, and if prices go
  • 00:19:11.242 --> 00:19:14.044
  • From 400 to $515 for a typical bag of groceries,
  • 00:19:14.044 --> 00:19:17.982
  • Then, you know, getting inflation to slow
  • 00:19:17.982 --> 00:19:20.684
  • Is not the same as reversing, the situation
  • 00:19:20.684 --> 00:19:23.887
  • And the way we reverse the situation
  • 00:19:23.887 --> 00:19:25.723
  • Is we continue to,
  • 00:19:25.723 --> 00:19:27.057
  • You know, go
  • 00:19:27.057 --> 00:19:28.192
  • After every little thing we can, to reduce inflation.
  • 00:19:28.192 --> 00:19:30.861
  • The most important is at the macro level
  • 00:19:30.861 --> 00:19:33.264
  • That we're cutting the deficit by about $600 billion
  • 00:19:33.264 --> 00:19:36.066
  • This year, which will put downward
  • 00:19:36.066 --> 00:19:37.434
  • Pressure on everybody's prices.
  • 00:19:37.434 --> 00:19:39.103
  • But then we're going, thing by thing,
  • 00:19:39.103 --> 00:19:41.272
  • To try to come up with policies that help that as well.
  • 00:19:41.272 --> 00:19:44.174
  • But the bottom line is that this is a situation
  • 00:19:44.174 --> 00:19:47.678
  • That was caused by democratic policies,
  • 00:19:47.678 --> 00:19:50.347
  • And this is a situation that we're fixing.
  • 00:19:50.347 --> 00:19:52.916
  • And somehow
  • 00:19:52.916 --> 00:19:54.184
  • The fact that prices went up
  • 00:19:54.184 --> 00:19:55.586
  • A lot under joe biden is suddenly
  • 00:19:55.586 --> 00:19:57.755
  • A good talking point for president trump.
  • 00:19:57.755 --> 00:19:59.790
  • And that's just preposterous.
  • 00:19:59.790 --> 00:20:01.425
  • I think that's what people think
  • 00:20:01.425 --> 00:20:03.694
  • They're getting actually,
  • 00:20:03.694 --> 00:20:05.129
  • When they think trump's going to fix the economy.
  • 00:20:05.129 --> 00:20:07.097
  • Trump's going to fix what biden started it.
  • 00:20:07.097 --> 00:20:08.732
  • I think they think that they're getting deflation,
  • 00:20:08.732 --> 00:20:11.101
  • But that's bad.
  • 00:20:11.101 --> 00:20:12.202
  • So what we really need to do is you're
  • 00:20:12.202 --> 00:20:14.038
  • Talking about the supply side shock.
  • 00:20:14.038 --> 00:20:16.173
  • President trump is talking about 16, 17, 18,
  • 00:20:16.173 --> 00:20:18.642
  • $19 trillion of investment into the economy.
  • 00:20:18.642 --> 00:20:22.313
  • And then that starts boosting wages.
  • 00:20:22.313 --> 00:20:24.481
  • You get a tightening job market when you deport,
  • 00:20:24.481 --> 00:20:26.684
  • Illegal immigrants, when you frankly, when you have
  • 00:20:26.684 --> 00:20:29.687
  • A net, migration, outflow, out of the country.
  • 00:20:29.687 --> 00:20:33.757
  • Right.
  • 00:20:33.757 --> 00:20:34.925
  • So you tighten the labor, supply, then you get, wages
  • 00:20:34.925 --> 00:20:37.728
  • Going up, you get investment, you get this one year
  • 00:20:37.728 --> 00:20:40.197
  • Motorization, which was in the
  • 00:20:40.197 --> 00:20:41.765
  • The accelerated amortization of things like,
  • 00:20:41.765 --> 00:20:44.268
  • You know, at restaurants to build a kitchen.
  • 00:20:44.268 --> 00:20:45.903
  • And they have to
  • 00:20:45.903 --> 00:20:46.937
  • They can amortize all that in the single year
  • 00:20:46.937 --> 00:20:48.405
  • Or bigger investments.
  • 00:20:48.405 --> 00:20:50.441
  • When are we going to start seeing that supply side shock.
  • 00:20:50.441 --> 00:20:53.077
  • Because i know $19 trillion coming to the economy.
  • 00:20:53.077 --> 00:20:55.479
  • If if that materializes, that's going to be huge,
  • 00:20:55.479 --> 00:20:58.682
  • But it's going to take a little while.
  • 00:20:58.682 --> 00:20:59.917
  • How how do you predict the next, next 6 to 12 months
  • 00:20:59.917 --> 00:21:02.753
  • Going it actually is it take a while.
  • 00:21:02.753 --> 00:21:05.522
  • In fact, it's underway right now.
  • 00:21:05.522 --> 00:21:06.757
  • If you look at capital spending this year,
  • 00:21:06.757 --> 00:21:09.026
  • It's pretty much up by
  • 00:21:09.026 --> 00:21:10.194
  • Almost as much as we saw all, four years for joe biden,
  • 00:21:10.194 --> 00:21:14.031
  • There's been a capital spending boom
  • 00:21:14.031 --> 00:21:15.632
  • Because people
  • 00:21:15.632 --> 00:21:16.700
  • Want to build factories and create jobs of the us.
  • 00:21:16.700 --> 00:21:19.002
  • And in fact,
  • 00:21:19.002 --> 00:21:19.436
  • It was
  • 00:21:19.436 --> 00:21:20.270
  • One of my favorite little footnotes
  • 00:21:20.270 --> 00:21:21.338
  • About the state of the union address.
  • 00:21:21.338 --> 00:21:23.173
  • I guess we're supposed to call it
  • 00:21:23.173 --> 00:21:24.108
  • Something else, the joint session of congress.
  • 00:21:24.108 --> 00:21:25.976
  • But when we were editing the final draft,
  • 00:21:25.976 --> 00:21:29.313
  • One of the nerdy things the the economic teams,
  • 00:21:29.313 --> 00:21:32.383
  • The president just tick in was that whenever we pass
  • 00:21:32.383 --> 00:21:35.252
  • The big, beautiful bill, we're going to make the,
  • 00:21:35.252 --> 00:21:37.087
  • Accelerated depreciation, the expensing of new equipment,
  • 00:21:37.087 --> 00:21:40.224
  • A new factories retroactive to his address that night.
  • 00:21:40.224 --> 00:21:44.261
  • And then what we saw was that there was an explosion
  • 00:21:44.261 --> 00:21:46.563
  • Of investment already, because people knew
  • 00:21:46.563 --> 00:21:48.332
  • We were going to pass a big, beautiful bill.
  • 00:21:48.332 --> 00:21:50.100
  • And we gave them this massive tax incentive to do it.
  • 00:21:50.100 --> 00:21:52.536
  • And so it's really underway, a big part of it.
  • 00:21:52.536 --> 00:21:55.339
  • But one of the things that happens
  • 00:21:55.339 --> 00:21:57.241
  • In terms of the big wage effects that we're going to see
  • 00:21:57.241 --> 00:21:59.743
  • Is that,
  • 00:21:59.743 --> 00:22:01.178
  • People tend
  • 00:22:01.178 --> 00:22:02.045
  • To get their wage adjusted if they're
  • 00:22:02.045 --> 00:22:03.247
  • Not changing jobs in january.
  • 00:22:03.247 --> 00:22:05.349
  • And so there's going to be really big salary increases
  • 00:22:05.349 --> 00:22:07.651
  • There already underway this year.
  • 00:22:07.651 --> 00:22:08.886
  • But where do you see january?
  • 00:22:08.886 --> 00:22:10.487
  • And the other thing is, because it takes a while
  • 00:22:10.487 --> 00:22:12.055
  • For the irs to do the forms, the
  • 00:22:12.055 --> 00:22:13.657
  • No tax on tips, so no tax on overtime.
  • 00:22:13.657 --> 00:22:15.859
  • A lot of people aren't
  • 00:22:15.859 --> 00:22:17.094
  • Going to see that until april when they get their refunds.
  • 00:22:17.094 --> 00:22:19.396
  • And so the bottom line is there's a lot
  • 00:22:19.396 --> 00:22:20.964
  • Of really good after tax news coming for next year.
  • 00:22:20.964 --> 00:22:24.535
  • And it won't be deflationary.
  • 00:22:24.535 --> 00:22:25.836
  • The way you get deflationary is you remember
  • 00:22:25.836 --> 00:22:27.805
  • They called it the new normal under obama.
  • 00:22:27.805 --> 00:22:29.673
  • You just can't grow very much.
  • 00:22:29.673 --> 00:22:31.141
  • And you got like really,
  • 00:22:31.141 --> 00:22:32.242
  • Really low price inflation, even deflation.
  • 00:22:32.242 --> 00:22:35.145
  • Well that's because they put a straitjacket
  • 00:22:35.145 --> 00:22:37.648
  • Around the economy.
  • 00:22:37.648 --> 00:22:38.782
  • We're not doing that. and so we won't have deflation.
  • 00:22:38.782 --> 00:22:41.151
  • We won't have low growth like that.
  • 00:22:41.151 --> 00:22:42.786
