and is the playbook the playbook is to
00:03
create
00:04
the impression that there is violence
00:07
that he must send in federal troops
00:10
and that the american people should be
00:14
afraid
00:14
of other americans and trust the
00:17
president because he’s going to send
00:19
all troops to american cities
00:23
and that’s how he hopes to win the
00:25
election you know
00:27
it’s one thing to fight crime joint task
00:30
forces that
00:31
involves the cooperation of state and
00:34
local officials
00:35
but the governor of oregon and the mayor
00:38
of portland
00:39
has asked that the federal troops leave
00:41
because
00:42
the reaction has actually been uh
00:46
in in reverse proportion people
00:49
are showing up because the troops are
00:52
there and i’d like to say
00:53
that so many of them i would say most of
00:56
them
00:57
are uh non-violent we’ve all heard about
01:01
the
01:01
wall of bombs the wall of moms who who
01:04
show up
01:05
uh to make sure that people are safe and
01:08
here’s what they say
01:09
they say they’ve been tear gas night
01:11
after night
01:12
left vomiting that they’ve been shot at
01:15
with raw
01:16
bean bags pepper spray so
01:19
this brutality has created even more
01:22
demonstrators
01:23
brad johnson july 28th and of course in
01:26
the united states i
01:27
have to say the two biggest stories are
01:29
the the bizarre war
01:31
over hydro hydroxychloroquine use and
01:34
the massive riots that are taking place
01:37
in certain cities that
01:38
really even riots isn’t the right word
01:40
it’s too coordinated
01:41
it’s an insurgency and uh
01:46
the mayor of visit portland wants to
01:49
what what’s going what’s uh
01:50
what’s going on between the municipal
01:52
authorities in federal right now
01:55
yeah it’s a very interesting turn of
01:56
events and just kind of recapping what’s
01:58
going on and what we’re seeing in the
02:00
streets
02:01
uh is a a revolution trying to take
02:04
place they are trying to take power
02:06
antifa has long had a very strong
02:09
presence in
02:10
uh in oregon and they’ve made good
02:12
relations and inroads with the
02:14
uh with the local politicians and the
02:16
police so there’s a
02:17
a strong relationship there which is
02:20
kind of their stepping stone to try and
02:22
assume power in those areas
02:24
uh and like i say make no mistake this
02:26
is a coordinated organized effort
02:28
and that’s something that in fact a u.s
02:30
attorney general bar is giving testimony
02:32
today on the hill and that’s one of the
02:34
things that uh he
02:36
one of the points he’s made repeatedly
02:37
while they’re antifa is
02:39
not organized necessarily overall they
02:42
do come together and are very well
02:44
coordinated and organized for certain
02:46
events
02:46
and one of them is this thing in
02:48
portland so you see for example
02:50
these mothers against violence who come
02:52
out there and they’re in the front row
02:54
and it’s the same exact tactic as they
02:57
were using before with the hands up
02:59
so the mothers get right in front but
03:00
we’re mothers we don’t want violence and
03:02
all this and
03:03
they hold up all these same signs saying
03:04
we’re we’re poor defenseless mothers and
03:07
all this
03:08
and they confront the police and then
03:10
the group
03:11
immediately behind the mothers are the
03:13
ones that are doing
03:15
the violence and they’re throwing rocks
03:16
and everything that they can get to try
03:19
and attack and
03:20
damage and hurt and wound uh the police
03:23
and so the police then have to go
03:25
through the mothers to get to the people
03:27
that are throwing bricks and all those
03:29
other things at them
03:30
and so these mothers are getting tear
03:32
gas and all these things because of
03:33
where they are right in the middle of
03:35
all of this
03:36
on purpose this is precisely the same
03:39
thing that’s used
03:40
all over the world where you take women
03:42
and children and put them up in front of
03:44
the troops
03:45
and march them down the highway so if
03:46
anyone shoots at you
03:48
they’re going to shoot these poor
03:49
defenseless women and children it is the
03:51
same tactic used over and over by the
03:53
left
03:53
worldwide for a very long time now the
03:56
interesting turn of events out of all
03:58
this that i find
03:59
very very interesting is the perspective
04:02
that they’re showing
04:03
that is reflected by what the portland
04:06
mayor has been saying
04:07
and what he’s calling for is an
04:09
immediate meeting
04:12
with the with the chiefs of dhs
04:14
department of homeland security
04:16
and uh basically the rioters
04:20
and so he views himself as the mediator
04:24
where he will sit down and negotiate the
04:26
terms between these
04:28
two groups in order for the feds to
04:31
withdraw
04:32
from the area that is his stated goal
04:35
in trying to open these negotiations
04:38
very
04:38
interesting that he would view his role
04:41
and he’s putting on a moral equivalency
04:44
these trained radical rioting groups
04:49
with federal law enforcement officers
04:51
who are there trying to defend
04:53
federal buildings which is one hundred
04:55
percent u.s marshals
04:57
are are you exactly responsible for
05:02
defending federal military one of their
05:06
long-stated responsibilities and that is
05:09
what they’re doing
05:10
and they may be getting help from others
05:12
but it’s the us marshall service
05:14
that’s that’s in charge of this because
05:16
that’s their responsibility
05:18
and you have these groups that are
05:20
funded from outside
05:22
who are using violence and intimidation
05:25
and
05:25
hurting and killing people and all of
05:27
these things and that portland mayor
05:30
puts them at a morally equivalent level
05:33
with federal law enforcement fascinating
05:36
mindset on the part of this man uh i
05:39
would say
05:40
you know these guys all belong in jail
05:42
including the portland mayor
05:44
it’s stunning to me that that that
05:47
this what we’re talking about here now
05:49
hasn’t been
05:50
the united states should have been
05:51
reporting that that’s the story
05:53
that the mayor cannot tell the
05:55
difference between illegal
05:58
dangerous activity and law enforcement
06:01
he doesn’t know the difference i mean
06:03
how low
06:04
have we sunk and certainly uh in oregon
06:08
it is getting very dangerous with who’s
06:11
there
06:11
and they need oregonians i i have to
06:14
just
06:15
cut in just to ask you i i know for a
06:18
fact from their own words that the
06:19
democrat socialists of america the
06:21
communist core group of the
06:23
democrat party has something
06:26
over a hundred elected representatives
06:28
across various municipal governments in
06:30
the united states
06:31
as well as congress people like ellen
06:34
omar
06:35
is has anyone looked into this guy’s
06:37
background is he dsa
06:38
or does he have a lifelong history of
06:40
running socialist and communist
06:43
youth groups and so on or what’s that
06:44
does anyone understand this guy’s
06:46
background
06:48
i’ve looked at his background and
06:49
there’s nothing spectacular there
06:50
there’s
06:51
at least on on just general stuff i
06:53
haven’t found anything
06:55
tying him to any of the extremist groups
06:57
but other than right now
06:58
clearly he has uh major ties to antifa
07:02
and black lives matter so uh certainly
07:04
that radicalism is is popping up
07:06
now uh the a history of it
07:09
it isn’t made apparent by what’s
07:10
searchable on google but i will say one
07:13
other factor one thing that’s very very
07:15
interesting
07:15
too and i i mentioned this kind of in
07:18
passing it now this is
07:19
speculative in nature but interesting
07:22
and that is that in these programs that
07:25
the communist
07:25
chinese communists are doing on this
07:29
the the country of china relationships
07:31
with the different states of the united
07:33
states
07:34
two of the most robust relationships
07:36
they have
07:37
where they have tremendous inroads are
07:40
in the states of washington
07:41
and oregon now i mention that because
07:44
what we see out of the left today is a
07:46
lot of admiration and it’s not so much
07:48
like the stalinist old you know old
07:52
russian
07:53
ussr nowadays it’s an admiration
07:56
for mao and now the founder of today’s
08:00
chinese communist party
08:02
so there’s a lot of affinity there so
08:04
i’m
08:05
i would speculate that behind the scenes
08:08
involved to some degree or another one
08:10
way or another
08:12
are the are the chinese communists
08:13
because it’s to their advantage
08:16
to sow disorder in the united states of
08:18
america so i suspect involvement
08:21
on their part there as well even if it’s
08:24
quietly funding things like black lives
08:27
matters and
08:28
and different things like that which if
08:30
you look at it what is black lives
08:31
matter
08:32
doing with the money that they get and
08:33
antifa doing with the money they get
08:35
politically and we’ve all seen there’s
08:37
been a lot of reporting
08:38
that some of that money is then being
08:41
given to the biden campaign
08:43
so i mean if it it is very feasible and
08:46
possible
08:46
that this is also part of money
08:49
laundering efforts
08:50
to take in money from overseas from
08:52
enemies in the united states like the
08:53
chinese
08:54
and funnels some portions of that money
08:57
into the biden campaign
08:58
and that’s something that needs to be
09:00
looked at and those are the types of
09:01
things that have been done
09:02
done many times before and i will remind
09:06
that there’s i believe he’s sitting in
09:08
jail now but there was a chinese man
09:10
uh that was indicted and i believe
09:12
convicted and sitting in jail
09:14
although i think some other people were
09:15
indicted and fled of doing that precise
09:18
thing
09:18
out in california they were bringing in
09:21
money from the chinese communists
09:23
and funneling it to the clinton campaign
09:25
so this is not a new tactic
09:27
this is an old tactic and i think it’s
09:30
been dusted off and being used again
09:32
here right now and and they’re they’re
09:34
very active out in the
09:36
pacific northwest not canada i mean not
09:38
idaho so much but
09:40
uh certainly the states of of oregon and
09:42
washington
09:44
that’s a very important fact that i did
09:46
not know
09:47
thank you very much brad for that update
09:50
all right thank you
