This headline is very misleading…

To be clear, I think what happened at the Capitol on Jan 6 was a riot. And I have no problem with rioters being arrested. I said the same thing about the riots in Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, Chicago, New York, and even my beloved Indianapolis - where people had weapons, engaged in physical assaults of police and destroyed property.

I believe that riots need to be stopped. But this headline is saying that people who were carrying things legally are somehow bad people who wanted to engage in an overthrow of government. That’s not the case if they never entered the capital, never attacked anybody and never tried to hurt anyone.

Don’t get me wrong. You can argue that it’s weird, or strange, or odd, or peculiar that people would show up with weapons to Washington DC. And you can also argue that in Washington DC, many of those things may be illegal to have there in the capital. That’s a conversation about whether or not it somehow should be against the law to carry a firearm in all 50 states and in the District of Columbia, which I believe should not be against the law.

If people were standing outside of where they were screening people and doing metal detector checks, then what’s the problem? That they had lawful weapons on them?

The inference in this article, from of all places, the New York Post, is that those people were there to do harm. But, if they never entered the capital, never got into a fight with police, never drew their weapon, never engage in a fight, then what exactly is the issue?

If someone is lawfully carrying a weapon, they are not a criminal. Those who engage in criminal activity are criminals. That’s the difference.

And if you believe the criminality is entering DC with a lawful weapon, why is not criminality when someone from a Central American nation enters the country illegally?

I don’t condone rioting. I’m not about to start. But people in the US are often armed. Many carry a gun. Many carry knives. Many carry pepper spray (including my wife.)

That is not criminal. The Jan 6 Committee is trying to say it is. I disagree.

What do you say?

The Riots ARE as Bad As You Think

Democrats are trying to convince America that the riots in Los Angeles aren’t really that bad. They’re also trying to blame Trump for everything.

But you know better. None of that is true. There are riots, property is being destroyed, lives are being threatened.

The Left Made The Rules

James Comey knew what he was doing when he took a picture of sea shells that spelled out "8647." He knew it would be taken as a call to violence against President Trump. And now he has to deal with the consequences.

So does Rep. LaMonica McIver, who shoved, hit and threatened ICE agents as she tried to break into an ICE detention center in New Jersey.

The Left made the rules. The Left has to learn.

Supreme Court Sides With Lawfare from Democrats

In a 7-2 decision (Justices Alito and Thomas being the only ones honestly seeing the situation,) the Supreme Court - in an unsigned order - ruled that Venezuelan gang members should remain in the US while lower courts decide how far in advance migrants must be informed of their removal.

Check my quick video below. Lawfare is now accepted practice in the US. And Republicans better take note of it.

It’s not the country I want, but it’s the country the Left is creating….and the Left is going to have to live up to these rules.

The United Nations has Failed Western Civilization

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) now has NINE countries refusing to engage in funding because of the UNRWA's involvement in the October 7th terrorist attack on Israel. Evidence shows that 12 UNRWA employees participated in the attack by Hamas, both the planning and the execution. They supplied Hamas with arms and intelligence. Employees of the United NAtions Relief and works agency took hostages during the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel. 

The United Nations, as we have long known, is an organization made up of some of the worst people in the world. Bigoted, dispicable, and obscene people who favor the destruction of democracy and despise western culture. The UN has never met a despot they didn't love.

What is the value of the United Nations? To protect the people who hate us?

Joe Rogan, Liberalism, and Leftism
The Leftism of Politics

Joe Rogan had comedian Bobby Lee on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, and they discussed how far left the political left has moved in their lifetimes.

What has happened on the left? In the past several decades of politics, you have seen that the Right/Left/Center dynamic has all but disappeared. The Left kept going to the left, dragging the centrists along with it. What we have ended up with is an absurdly radical far left and leftists. The centrists did not stay in the center.

Obamacare was once a radical proposition from the left. In 14 short years, Obamacare is now centrist, and the Left today wants to enslave doctors to universal healthcare. This is how far things have moved.

Joe Rogan sees this, stating that he "can't even see" the left. From "gender affirming" care to the release of violent criminals from jail and the societal collapse in San Francisco, he doesn't understand what happened to the political Left.

We understand. Hear our discussion on Tony Katz Today here:
