American Independence: Why It Still Matters

1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,800
Great, Did.
Is there another kind?

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,880
You see, the useful idiots that
the Soviet Union that Lenin put

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,320
into America are now the useful
idiots from the Chinese.

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,000
They're coming down in America
like Batman eating us up.

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,520
Alive.
They're acting more as

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,440
propagandists.
You know the Pac-Man game.

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,080
Think of a Pac-Man game, out of
control, sucking away at the

8
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:21,880
foundation of America.
If Russia pursues its

9
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,400
aggression, it will face the
massive consequences.

10
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,480
Because if they don't want you
to believe something and they

11
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,600
can cast doubt, sometimes
confusion can actually be the

12
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:30,320
goal.
The goal?

13
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,000
The goal and as we've said all
along.

14
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:33,800
Confusion can actually be the
goal.

15
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,560
Welcome to another edition of
America TODAY.

16
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,440
Jim Watkins, thank you so much
for being here.

17
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,840
It's a pleasure to be with you.
I hope you are having a a good

18
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,760
day.
I hope that 4th of July is a

19
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,800
pleasant experience for you.
The weekend, the 4th of July

20
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,880
weekend upon us and it's good to
be here.

21
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,360
A lot of interesting news
breaking in the last 24 hours.

22
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,720
Of course P Diddy got off with a
hand.

23
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,800
A slap on the hand.
I guess being a debased human

24
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,960
being is not illegal.
Boy, it just seems going into

25
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,200
this case, they really, it
almost seemed like they didn't

26
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:12,200
have any real interest in
nailing the guy, even though we

27
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,280
had the video.
The video was interesting

28
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,720
because I don't think they
played it enough.

29
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,440
If they had played it to the
extent of the way they played

30
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,040
the George Floyd video over and
over billions and billions of

31
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,760
times, you know, watching that
poor, poor lady Cassie Ventura

32
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,640
get kicked, just totally
mistreated.

33
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,640
You want to talk about a
misogynist pig?

34
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,000
I'm just, I'm a little bit let
down.

35
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:41,240
And one, the prosecution, why,
why on earth would they go after

36
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,480
Rico charges when he's the only
one involved?

37
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,600
That was a a big mistake for
them.

38
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:51,560
And secondly, what about all the
the videos and, and everything

39
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,600
and the other people that were
involved in these so-called

40
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,840
freak offs that we heard about?
I mean, is there no consequence

41
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,960
for any of that?
Are rich people just supposed to

42
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,240
do whatever they want to do and
it doesn't matter to them?

43
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,760
And what kind of message does
that send to young aspiring

44
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,840
musicians?
I'll tell you what kind of

45
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,960
message it sends.
It sends the message that you

46
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,800
can do whatever you want if you
got enough money.

47
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,800
But a little Comic Relief,
perhaps, is in order.

48
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,040
Here's Dave Chappelle, and he
had a few things to say about

49
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,800
Puff Daddy and all of that.
I've been in trouble in my day.

50
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,800
Well, I've been in a lot of
trouble in my day.

51
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,000
But but man, let me tell you
something.

52
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,640
This guy, puffy buddy, this guy
is in an enormous amount of

53
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:35,040
trouble.
I've never, I don't think I've

54
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,320
ever seen anything like this.
They got this guy in a Rico case

55
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:48,320
by himself, by my friends asked
me, they say, Dave, did you know

56
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,800
anything about those free golf
parties?

57
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:56,080
I'd be like, Nah, man, I know
anything about the free golf.

58
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,880
And they all look at me like,
and they'd be like, well, how

59
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,480
are these people, you know, is
that free golf?

60
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,600
But she's the only one that
wasn't at the free golf.

61
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:08,600
I thought about it for a minute.
I said, Oh my gosh, I'm ugly.

62
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,160
That's a tough way to find that
out.

63
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,160
Can you imagine you and me
reading the newspaper and found

64
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,640
out everyone in Hollywood had an
orgy behind your back?

65
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,760
All right.
So yeah, I mean, it's over now

66
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:35,080
and what, he'll get 10 years
just for sex trafficking and

67
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,440
he'll he'll get, they'll run
them consecutively.

68
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:43,760
So realistically he'll be out in
five if he's on good behavior

69
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,000
and what else, he'll continue to
be able through his attorney to

70
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,160
run his business.
So his business will continue to

71
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,960
run and he'll continue to
generate revenue.

72
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,840
And then when he gets out, he'll
either make a book or he'll have

73
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,960
he'll probably be a hero, I
would imagine maybe.

74
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,880
And behind bars.
So I don't this guy must have

75
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,960
the grace of God over him.
And I'm not sure why.

76
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,360
Or maybe maybe it's another
force, who knows?

77
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:22,079
But it just plays to this idea
that, yeah, we have freedom and.

78
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:25,440
And yeah, what behind closed
doors, What happens?

79
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,520
None of my business.
I get it, totally understand it.

80
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,200
But what does it say about a
society that permeates

81
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:40,680
immorality as with the Pride
parade, a big, big deal about

82
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,400
that in Hungary.
They the the Prime Minister of

83
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:53,160
Hungary or Ban and 5556% of
Hungarians do not believe in.

84
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,840
Well, I don't want to say they
don't believe in LGBTQ.

85
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:59,560
They're just not buying it.
And and they're not affirming

86
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,960
these pride parades because
oftentimes they're a display of

87
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,480
vulgarity.
And it exposes children to this

88
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:10,600
because, after all, they have a
lot of pride, right?

89
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,960
And Hungary is a conservative
Christian nation.

90
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:20,040
But the EU has more or less
demanded that they allow the

91
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,800
pride parade to occur in
Budapest.

92
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,520
This was over the weekend.
And they have crowd shots that

93
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,840
show hundreds of thousands of
people showing up, right?

94
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:37,520
And all, you know, affirming
pride and hungry.

95
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,680
What what the press and the
media fails to tell you is that

96
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,960
many, many of these people were
bussed in from other countries

97
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,360
to show their pride.
And Ursula von der Leyden, the

98
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,520
EU commissioner, had encouraged
people from other countries to

99
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,040
show their pride to go to
Budapest this weekend and show

100
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,320
your support for pride.
And of course, the parade went

101
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,560
on.
And what they don't show you is

102
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,120
the men that are wearing
lascivious outfits, letting

103
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:17,040
their genitals hang proudly and
drag Queens.

104
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,880
And you know, you know, you've
probably have seen them.

105
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,200
And again, what does it say
about are perceptions of

106
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,480
reality?
And I just think it's it's worth

107
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,440
taking a look at because it does
have some negative effects.

108
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,320
So I want to tell you what we
found out about this.

109
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:40,000
Wes Rowley, who shot 22
firefighters, injured a third

110
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,680
near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
And much of this comes from the

111
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,840
reporting of Liz Wheeler at
Blaze TV.

112
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,440
And she states it.
Rowley came from a broken

113
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,960
family.
His parents were divorced.

114
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,040
They divorced during his
formative years when Wes was 10

115
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,280
years old.
Terrible, terrible time for a

116
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:02,640
kid to have to endure a divorce.
His father, in fact, threatened

117
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,160
to commit a very similar crime
to the crime that Wes committed

118
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,680
when during the divorce
proceedings, his father

119
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,680
threatened to burn down their
home and shoot the family with a

120
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,400
sniper rifle.
According to Wes's mother's

121
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,920
testimony, Liz Wheeler notes a
protection order was actually

122
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,640
enacted and his mother was given
temporary custody of Wes.

123
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,880
The violence he witnessed by his
father, which also included

124
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,880
punching holes in the wall, made
young Wes a victim of abuse.

125
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:36,240
His grandfather, a man from a
man named Dale Rowley, described

126
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:41,600
Wes as quote UN quote a nervous
kid, very high strung and very

127
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,320
much of a loner.
Further, Rowley's former

128
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,640
roommate had some problems with
Rowley during his experience as

129
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:54,760
roommates in Sandpoint, ID
Police removed Rowley from the

130
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,920
apartment.
No further incident there, but

131
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,640
classmates describe a journey or
a journal that Wes Rowley kept

132
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,360
that contained what he called
concerning images of weapons and

133
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,560
hate symbols on his TikTok.
He has a disturbing footprint

134
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:17,040
which involves woke themes,
gender fluidity, gender

135
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,880
ideology.
He saw himself as part of the

136
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,000
Brony movement.
The Brony movement translates to

137
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,360
Bros, guys who are interested in
My Little Pony.

138
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,360
Remember that from a few years
ago.

139
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:36,000
By all indications, Liz says his
social media was deep into the

140
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,880
brony movement, noting that
bronies are known to pretend to

141
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,480
be horses themselves, not just
play with these toys.

142
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,120
Was he disordered?
Was he perverted?

143
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,680
Did it?
Was his moral compass completely

144
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,240
ruined by the influences of his
of his environment?

145
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,120
He was also into being a furry,
and I won't go into that because

146
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,800
it's disgusting.
So this kid had a lot of

147
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,000
problems, a lot of sexual
fetishes.

148
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,200
He was morally unbalanced.
And when you're morally

149
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,840
unbalanced, the idea of taking
out people who are respectable.

150
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,560
And this is again, this is Liz
Wheeler's information.

151
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:19,120
You can read all about it on
Blaze.

152
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:25,080
It's tragic, but it it is the
exclamation at a very long

153
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,920
sentence that says we've got to
get our moral house in order.

154
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,760
That's it.
That's the the lesson America

155
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,320
today continues Mike.
Let's coming up a little bit

156
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,120
later on to give us a wrap up on
national security issues.

157
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,800
Also got some interesting stats
on Biden's border.

158
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,520
We'll get to that in just a
second.

159
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:45,040
