Brad Johnson it is June the 8th of 2020
00:04
and there is a lot of peculiar things
00:08
taking place in the United States with
00:10
the whole demands to defund the police
00:12
now I know that elected members of
00:15
municipal councils that are DSA have
00:19
talked about for quite a while now their
00:21
plan is a defund the police and B to
00:25
eliminate all private property because
00:26
the DSA is an actual Marxist Leninist
00:29
organization but what are we seeing now
00:32
in terms of the police department at
00:34
Minneapolis and other things you know
00:36
it’s moving so fast it’s very hard to
00:38
keep track of it is it’s very very fast
00:41
and it’s because you have a lot of
00:43
moving parts that are operating not I
00:46
wouldn’t say in coordination but they’re
00:49
marching in the same direction and they
00:52
all recognize that this is the time to
00:54
strike so as you say in Minneapolis what
00:58
they’ve done is the City Council is
00:59
essentially voted to disband the police
01:01
force which you know this is politically
01:05
motivated and if you look at what
01:07
they’ve done is you’ve seen the black
01:09
lives matter and the ante for people out
01:11
on the street that are doing these
01:13
demonstrations are starting to post
01:14
things talking about alternatives to law
01:17
enforcement alternatives to the police
01:19
now I’m telling you what they’re saying
01:21
not what I’m I’m not suggesting this is
01:24
anything that makes any sense whatsoever
01:25
because it does not but this is what
01:28
they’re saying so they post these things
01:29
things they say things like when Frei
01:33
faced with a criminal problem of some
01:34
sort you know go to the mental health
01:36
unit of the thing and ask for you know
01:38
help in dealing with these situations
01:40
and other things like that some stuff
01:43
that basically sidesteps the need for
01:45
law enforcement now the mayor has come
01:48
up Anakin will hold on guys this
01:50
you know this is this is a little bit
01:52
too much but the City Council has voted
01:54
unanimously if the reporting is correct
01:57
to move forward and so now if you look
02:01
for example at ante fo websites and what
02:06
they want what they stand for this is
02:08
precisely what they want and so this is
02:11
right out of their handbook so once
02:13
again to suggest that some of these
02:15
people have come out and said out of the
02:17
FBI or there’s no proof of nt4 being
02:19
involved you know that’s that’s wildly
02:21
political rear-end covering sort of
02:25
stuff rather than just reporting and
02:27
analyzing on what they think the truth
02:29
is and of course after that we had you
02:31
guys Attorney General bar and FBI
02:33
director ray and people like that c’mon
02:35
boooo now hold on yo and teeth is
02:37
clearly involved with this stuff and you
02:39
know any you know average just sitting
02:42
at home watching this on TV they see the
02:44
protesters out there with antifa signs
02:46
and things like that you look at ago you
02:49
know how do you conclude they’re not
02:51
they’re not involved at any rate this is
02:54
what they stand for this is what they’re
02:56
trying to do and this is what they’re
02:57
are apparently accomplishing in
02:59
Minneapolis now kind of move the ball
03:01
forward now what what was going to
03:04
what’s going to happen here is just what
03:06
everybody expects better criminal
03:09
activity is going to explode through the
03:12
roof every gang narco type you know all
03:15
those sorts of people are just going to
03:17
go into a frenzy of activity doing what
03:19
they want and for the record these guys
03:21
are not afraid of social distancing
03:24
issues this is it who they are so there
03:28
have to go out and go wild they’re
03:30
absolutely going to go wild it’s going
03:31
to be mayhem and murder in the streets
03:33
and drugs on every corner and and what
03:37
antifa intends to do they want this this
03:39
is what the leftist handbook on all of
03:41
this you know the revolutionary theories
03:47
that are out there and all of the books
03:48
that these guys use and study they want
03:51
chaos in the streets and this is all
03:55
built on me and I believe on the initial
03:57
model that they saw happen in
03:59
Moscow and Kaos is in the streets and
04:02
the Socialist Party was able to step in
04:04
and take control and and eliminating
04:08
this violence by using their own militia
04:10
essentially just beating up or shooting
04:12
everybody who opposed them they took
04:13
over by force and then created some
04:17
control in the in the cities then with
04:20
this revolution now this is what they’re
04:22
trying to recreate here Minneapolis is
04:25
is the epicenter of this of this process
04:29
from the leftist perspective and don’t
04:31
make any mistakes here what we’re seeing
04:33
is attempted revolution that is exactly
04:36
what was going to is going on here this
04:37
is an uprising by the left in the United
04:40
States because of their shared hatred
04:43
all these different groups have a shared
04:45
hatred for President Trump and that
04:47
includes a certain element even within
04:50
the Republican Party and we’ve seen in
04:51
the news a couple of big-name people out
04:53
of the Republican Party are talking
04:55
about endorsing Joe Biden so what will
04:59
happen once you get the chaos in the
05:01
street what is what is who is there with
05:05
militia that’s ready to roll and that is
05:08
antiva and these are what these groups
05:11
are and they’ve been training the some
05:13
of these guys have had actual combat
05:15
experience in Iraq they sent groups
05:18
there to work with the anti US forces
05:21
there and again combat experience so
05:23
they have these militias that are there
05:24
that are hardened by these groups of
05:26
people and they’ve all received a lot of
05:28
training and we can see the training
05:30
that they have in these confrontations
05:32
with the police that’s a that’s a Tifa
05:34
training so it’s very distinct very easy
05:36
to see how you know if you’re familiar
05:37
with those sorts of things and anybody
05:39
analyzing it who’s trying to give you
05:41
honest information will will will see
05:43
that and so these malicious then are
05:48
going to be the ones to step in and and
05:51
take control of the streets and try to
05:54
be bringing a piece back into the
05:56
streets out of this chaos that they are
05:58
creating and they’re creating the chaos
06:01
in order to do this to spay the police
06:03
because they’re that competition for
06:05
that area of power within these
06:08
within these cities and states that are
06:10
basically liberal and by the way this is
06:13
one of those things where the Democratic
06:14
Party had no clue where they were
06:16
unleashing and this thing is going to
06:18
bite absolutely biting them in the rear
06:20
because they’re not going to be in
06:21
charge of this stuff they’re going to be
06:23
the enemy too and they’ve incorrectly
06:25
predicted that and that’s the problem
06:27
when you grab the tiger by the tail you
06:29
don’t know what’s gonna what’s going to
06:31
happen and this is just going to destroy
06:33
the Democrats and but we’ll see if who
06:36
wins on this but it’s not gonna be the
06:38
Democrats and Santee that will step in
06:41
with these militias now I’ve lived in
06:43
countries where this is how it’s worked
06:45
I’ve seen this firsthand maybe tell you
06:47
exactly how this will play out as I said
06:49
the gangs narco-traffickers all of those
06:51
sorts of people that are large organized
06:53
and weapons all those things in they’re
06:55
gonna step in and they’re gonna be
06:56
powerful and there’s and what’s going to
06:58
stop them the only thing that’s going to
06:59
happen are these militia these militia
07:02
and these organized criminal groups are
07:04
not going to go toe to toe what they’re
07:07
going to do is make deals and that’s
07:09
where this is going to go and Tifa is
07:11
going to make tons of money off of this
07:12
thing they’ll have deals so that the
07:14
organized criminal groups can operate
07:16
basically unfettered and they will try
07:18
to keep the peace in the city but they
07:20
define you peace in a very specific way
07:23
and that way they define peace is that
07:25
you follow the party rules there’s one
07:28
party there it and you will do what they
07:31
say and then there will be peace and if
07:33
you become part of that party and part
07:35
of the leadership of the system and all
07:37
of that you’re okay then it’s the haves
07:39
and the have-nots they are exactly the
07:43
opposite of everything they claim to
07:45
represent and if you think anyone and if
07:50
you run afoul of the militia that you’re
07:53
going to have any chance of being
07:54
treated fairly you’re wrong if you think
07:57
that me on the throat of George Floyd
07:59
was a big deal and a problem which I
08:02
grant you look really nasty if you think
08:05
that was a problem wait till the militia
08:07
get there in charge then we’ll shoot
08:09
people down the street they will beat
08:10
people to a pulp they will do whatever
08:12
they want to whoever they want because
08:14
who’s to stop them they’re going to be
08:16
in charge these are the Nazi brown
08:19
shirts
08:20
I was a history buff remembers the early
08:22
days of when the Nazis took over they
08:24
were voted into power and and created
08:27
these these brown shirts to go out and
08:29
they were exactly this they were the
08:30
jackbooted thugs that you hear about
08:32
that went around and just beat up
08:34
destroyed did whatever they wanted to do
08:36
in order to enforce the priority and the
08:39
power of the party and that’s exactly
08:42
what’s happening that’s exactly what
08:44
they’re trying to do and that’s exactly
08:45
where this is in it don’t let anybody
08:47
tell you different this is an attempt at
08:50
a revolution here in the United States
08:52
of America now unfortunately in the
08:55
situation we have a president who would
08:57
like to do something against it but what
08:59
we’ve seen is the resistance against him
09:02
just double down double down double down
09:05
and what we’ve seen is where he’s
09:07
talking about bringing in US troops
09:08
we’ve seen another attempt at I would
09:12
say you know insurrection within
09:14
government circles and that’s the the
09:18
head of the Department of Defense has
09:21
said that this is inappropriate he
09:22
doesn’t want to do is doesn’t think we
09:24
should do it just come out and said
09:25
those sorts of things we’ve had a letter
09:28
you know by a bunch of generals coming
09:31
out saying oh this is completely wrong
09:32
you know Trump is crazy we’ve got rules
09:34
got a problem at all but Trump is
09:35
attempting to follow the law there are
09:37
laws this is all been done before during
09:39
periods of unrest in the streets so he’s
09:42
got a lot of people aligned against him
09:45
and I would say this is one of the
09:47
president Trump’s both strengths and
09:49
weaknesses President Trump comes in and
09:52
the guy actually tries to say what he
09:53
really thinks and tries to do what he
09:55
thinks his baton is basically an honest
09:57
man I mean he’s always accused of lying
09:58
but you know nobody can really
10:00
substantiate what those lies actually
10:02
are you know you can disagree over some
10:04
stuff but that doesn’t make the man
10:05
alive and so he that goodness in him of
10:10
trying to do the right thing is what all
10:12
of these people are taking advantage of
10:14
because Trump you know gets advice from
10:16
all these different people pushing them
10:18
in different directions and they say
10:20
with that letter the generals this is
10:21
this is from what everyone is saying is
10:24
spearheaded by general Kelly that used
10:26
to be
10:27
she was stopped and so these are the
10:29
people that were brought in where he was
10:31
trying to make peace with all of these
10:32
elements trying to do the right thing
10:34
trying to be the right you know a good
10:36
guy trying to make peace with all these
10:38
elements and now they’re taking
10:40
advantage that they were stabbing them
10:41
in the back all along and continue to
10:43
stab him in the back of every
10:44
opportunity and so we have a lot of
10:46
pushback against Trump on trying to
10:48
settle these issues so you’ve got the
10:50
left on well as I said I don’t think
10:53
it’s a coordinated effort across the
10:55
board where they all you know have daily
10:58
phone calls at nine o’clock in the
11:00
morning to coordinate who’s going to do
11:02
what but I think they’re all pushing
11:04
forward at the same time because they
11:05
all as I said they share that hatred for
11:08
President Trump and so that’s what’s
11:10
motivating all these people and all
11:13
these people that have come out of the
11:15
Republican Party have no clue what’s
11:17
going on out there their ignorance is
11:19
displayed by their attitude in this
11:22
because of their dislike for Trump the
11:24
Democrat Party same exact thing their
11:26
ignorance is displayed by their
11:29
tolerance for this extreme left
11:31
destructive force that’s taking place
11:33
out in the street and that those people
11:35
in the street say what they’re doing
11:38
they’re open about it anyone can
11:40
research this stuff and see the platform
11:42
of antiva see the platform black lives
11:45
matter and there’s been dissent within
11:46
black lives matter some of the early
11:48
leadership has left they don’t like it
11:50
they’ve decried what they’re doing you
11:52
know even the even the brother of George
11:55
Floyd the murder victim on there the guy
11:57
that was allegedly murdered by the
11:59
policeman has to no trial but that guy
12:02
has come out and said well you know yeah
12:03
look we want justice for my brother but
12:06
we don’t want these riots in the street
12:07
where everybody’s you know killing and
12:09
destroying and burning and stealing we
12:11
don’t want that either
12:12
and what’s happened you don’t hear from
12:14
them anymore do you and every voice of
12:16
dissent you know Tom cotton wrote an
12:18
op-ed and published it in the New York
12:20
Times the guy in The New York Times who
12:24
look at it or who allowed that to be
12:25
published was driven out all of these
12:27
voices of people that are trying to
12:30
be responsible and seek calm and and try
12:36
to find a way through all of this in a
12:37
relatively peaceful means are being
12:40
tossed out on their ear they’re being
12:41
fired and persecuted in every way and
12:43
let me say I’m in many ways I’m I’m one
12:47
of the very few voices out there trying
12:49
to protect the majority of black
12:52
Americans on an issue like this because
12:54
one of the worst persecuted groups right
12:58
now on the in the United States are
13:00
blacks who aren’t in agreement with this
13:03
radical left-wing destructive force
13:05
taking place in the streets of America
13:07
spearheaded by antifa and black lives
13:09
matter those blacks in the United States
13:12
that are not in agreement with that and
13:14
don’t like it like George Floyd’s
13:15
brother are either marginalized or
13:18
attacked or they’re shut up one way or
13:20
another they are in danger over this
13:22
stuff if I could extrapolate that on
13:25
that a tiny bit it seems to me that the
13:27
Left strategy for decades now has been
13:30
to usurp every possible group even
13:35
inventing groups like transsexuals and
13:37
so on and weaponizing them against the
13:40
middle and anybody who’s a member of
13:42
those groups be they Jewish or black or
13:45
Amerindian or any member of any minority
13:49
that was oppressed the way the Marxist
13:51
would frame it who refused to accept
13:53
that narrative the oppression and
13:55
Marxist narrative is far more likely to
13:59
be attacked by the neo-marxists then
14:04
even the white males that they’re trying
14:06
to defeat as they see it yes the
14:11
question these groups are some of the
14:12
greatest oppression taking place in the
14:14
United States right now and who’s
14:15
speaking out for them nobody knew these
14:18
interviews but this is this is one of
14:20
the only places we have no power to
14:22
actually step in and help defend those
14:24
people against these you know outrageous
14:27
groups of the venom and hatred that
14:29
comes out of anyone if you say anything
14:32
any mild form of disagreement like
14:34
saying things like there was an
14:36
architect that came out from a city
14:38
council and said look these buildings
14:39
mattered
14:40
these are our history we need to protect
14:42
them as well he was fired from his job
14:45
for stating that this infrastructure and
14:48
buildings in our history is important to
14:49
protect as well these this this thing is
14:52
just completely spun out of control and
14:54
it’s prompted by the left to it like I
14:56
said they’ve got the tiger by the tail
14:58
they do not know what they’re doing they
15:01
do not understand where this is headed
15:03
and I’m telling you these forces in this
15:05
treatment want chaos death destruction
15:08
burning looting stealing so they can
15:11
establish those same people that are
15:13
doing that in the streets now are going
15:15
to form the basis of the militia that
15:16
will then make peace and and you know
15:19
peace and their version of it come true
15:22
on the streets and create or an orderly
15:25
situation again and make these deals
15:27
with other criminal groups and groups so
15:29
they can just roll the money from that
15:31
so that’s where all of this is headed
15:34
and I just I I actually kind of worried
15:37
right now how this is going to unfold
15:39
because President Trump unfortunately
15:41
does not understand not being a
15:43
politician that he needed to build up
15:46
his support group of people that will
15:48
that will help him this this little mini
15:51
revolution within the military that has
15:53
come out in these last few days talking
15:56
bad about the president and what the
15:57
president is trying to do he should
16:00
immediately step to fire those guys in
16:02
silent you know just you know the the
16:04
the Department of Defense these
16:06
high-level people including the
16:09
Secretary of Defense needs to go and
16:11
this is proof of it
16:13
he’s spitting in the face of President
16:16
Trump publicly you know that’s the
16:18
military way on this thing that guy has
16:20
got to go these people that are fighting
16:22
the President on these issues that are
16:24
against peace and order and the streets
16:27
have to go the president needs to get
16:30
tough on those guys he can be tough on
16:32
in China but he needs to be tough on
16:34
those forces within the United States
16:36
government who are acting in the best
16:38
interests of China the best interests of
16:40
Antigua the best interests of
16:42
destruction and death and murder and
16:44
burning and looting in the streets he
16:47
needs to move those
16:47
it’s out and he needs to move mountains
16:49
today Brad Johnson thank you very much
16:52
of that that was a lot of food for
16:53
thought a lot of insight there thank you
