00:00It doesn't seem like that's going to happen and I don't know how much he's going to continue to foment hatred.
00:06We have a guy running this country who has unearthed a lot of bigotry and a lot of racism
00:12and it seems to be more virulent than ever.
00:16So, yeah, it's strange how we just, it seems like we're going backward.
00:24Now remember for about five minutes Woody Harrelson was railing against the left censorship.
00:29He was railing against big pharma and mandatory COVID vaccines.
00:33Well, it looks like he's back to drinking the Kool-Aid.
00:36Now this next clip is delicious.
00:39Watch here as the co-founder of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales, loses his mind
00:43when an interviewer seeks to correct his claim that he's the sole founder of Wikipedia.
00:50There's a tantrum incoming.
00:51I'm Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia.
00:54You're the founder or co-founder?
00:56I don't care.
00:57That's the dumbest question in the world.
00:59Really?
01:00Absolutely.
01:01There seems to be a dispute.
01:02There's no dispute.
01:03I don't care.
01:05So, yeah.
01:07Say what you like.
01:08It doesn't matter.
01:09Well, isn't that like when it comes to Wikipedia a problem?
01:15You know, what are the facts?
01:18Yeah.
01:18Well, it's not a fact.
01:21It's an opinion.
01:22So, you can have whatever opinion you like.
01:24It doesn't matter.
01:26But for you, you're the founder.
01:28Can I just say again?
01:29It doesn't matter.
01:30I've answered your question four times.
01:34You know what?
01:34I'm done.
01:36Thanks.
01:37What's going on?
01:38It's stupid.
01:39Don't ask me stupid questions.
01:41How is that stupid?
01:43It's a stupid question.
01:45It was the first question.
01:46That's so wacky that I want to believe it's satire.
01:50But who can tell these days what's satire, what's real?
01:53Now to something that sounds like it belongs in a sketch comedy show.
01:57Here is the president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, breaking into song, singing John Lennon's
02:04Imagine as he talks about rising U.S. tensions.
02:08Oh, he's scared all right.
02:09Imagine us people.
02:12What a beautiful song, he says.
02:29He tells the young ones to look up the lyrics.
02:33I mean, this is rich work from a brutal wannabe dictator.
02:36I'm no warmonger, but watching that, it gets me a hankering for some stealth bombers over
02:42Caracas, but for the record, the lyrics of Imagine are not inspirational.
02:47They're stupid.
02:48They're inane.
02:49They're a teenage girl's idea of profound.
02:52I did look up the lyrics just for Nicholas.
02:55Here's some.
02:56Imagine there's no countries.
02:58It isn't hard to do.
02:59No, thank you.
03:00I don't want to imagine that.
03:01Imagine no possessions.
03:03I wonder if you can.
03:05No need for greed or hunger.
03:06I mean, nice, except John Lennon was worth around $200 million when he was tragically
03:12murdered in 1980.
03:131980, that'd be like a billion dollars these days.
03:16Now to the ongoing meltdown over Sydney Sweeney for refusing to apologize for appearing
03:23in a wildly popular jeans commercial for American Eagle.
03:27It would have been so easy for her just to say, wow, that really spun out of control.
03:32I didn't think about it.
03:33That obviously wasn't my intention.
03:35Also, American Eagle?
03:37American Eagle needs to be accountable today.
03:39Yeah, that's the other thing.
03:40It's the company.
03:40The real courage, the real confidence is apologizing.
03:43It's saying that I did something wrong.
03:45That takes a lot.
03:46Now let's try to get to the bottom of Barongate.
03:49People are obsessed with Barron Trump and that obsession saw all sorts of excitement when
03:55they thought he had given Biden a mouthful on Inauguration Day.
03:59Here is one of the more popular theories of what he said.
04:03When he leans into Biden here, he says, it's on.
04:09Okay.
04:09And then when he goes up to Melania, she says, try to be nice.
04:17See?
04:18And he says, okay.
04:20But she doesn't really know what he had said to him.
04:22And then he turns back and looks back at Biden.
04:24Well, a lot of people love that theory because after all, Joe Biden's DOJ FBI had tried to
04:34put Barron's father in jail, tried to put his brothers in jail, tried to bankrupt the
04:39family, raided his mother's underwear drawer.
04:42But now we have some clarity on what was really said.
04:46And sadly for some, it's a lot more mundane, a lot more polite than that narrative.
04:51Here is Barron's big brother, Eric, setting the record straight.
04:55They had all these like lip reading experts and they just, you know, and they're like,
04:59Barron just told Biden to go F himself.
05:02So one night, I'm very close to Barron.
05:04I love Barron to death, right?
05:04One night I call Barron.
05:05I go, buddy, look, what did you actually say?
05:08And he goes, you know, it was something so polite.
05:11I almost wouldn't even get it right.
05:12But like, you know, congratulations and, you know, best of luck to you or something like
05:16that.
05:16Something very respectful.
05:17Let's bring in Sky News contributor, Kosha Gator.
05:20Yeah, Kosha, we've got some heavy topics to cover, including startling revelations about
05:25Thomas Crooks, the young man who tried to assassinate Donald Trump.
05:29I say man, but apparently he identified as they.
05:32We'll get to that.
05:33But let's start with something a little bit more frivolous.
05:37And we finally have an answer on Barron Gate.
05:40We do.
05:40That was funny.
05:41And just the day and age we live in and the internet, people can do those things.
05:45He is fascinating to a lot of people and people are just desperate to get more from him.
05:50But, you know, he's playing it cool, kind of like his mother.
05:52Doesn't give too much.
05:53That's it.
05:53And I think that's part of the mystique with Barron.
05:56There's not a great deal of him.
05:58So people just know he's obviously very tall, freakishly tall.
06:04And apparently super smart, not just academically, but also political now.
06:11See, he was behind a lot of his dad's strategy, the podcast strategy.
06:16And a poll carried out earlier this year found that a whopping 40% of Republicans would consider
06:22amending the US Constitution to lower the presidential age requirement so Barron could
06:28run for president sooner.
06:29I didn't even realize there is a 35-year-old age limit.
06:34That's how popular he is.
06:36Yes.
06:36And AOC, just as a side note, has surpassed that 35 age limit.
06:41A lot of people are talking about that, that she might be in contention.
06:43He is very popular.
06:44But, you know, as we said, he's got different parents, very complementary with very different
06:48parents.
06:49So he's got great genes from what we can see, obviously, but he could go the way of his
06:53mother and maintain that mystique and enigma for a long time.
06:56And when he decides to open his mouth publicly, it'll carry a lot of weight.
07:00Or he could go the way of his father and put everything out there and make a run for it.
07:04He's very young.
07:05So I wish I had the clip to play right now, but I've seen a little clip of him talking
07:09where he's being introduced to people.
07:11And he's very much in his father's style in how he communicates with people, which was
07:17just fascinating to observe.
07:18Now, we've learned now a great deal more about Thomas Crookes.
07:22After months of nothing, this is the man who came a few millimetres from assassinating
07:28Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
07:30His online accounts and posts have finally been revealed by Tucker Carlson, who carried
07:35out a forensic examination of his online footprint, including his violent statements.
07:42And then we had a big release of information by the FBI.
07:46The timing of the FBI release was rather curious, Kosher.
07:51But what have we learned about Thomas Crookes?
07:53So this investigation led by Tucker, allegedly he's a they-them, as you said at the top.
07:59A furry?
08:00Yeah, a furry, which nobody knew what that was, by and large, until, unfortunately, Charlie
08:05Kirk's situation hit the news.
08:07And now we all know more about it than we ever wanted to.
08:10So that's another thing in there.
08:11We know he was also a very high IQ, as was Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin as well.
08:17These are like straight-A students, very high intelligence.
08:20So that's maybe an ingredient in that as well.
08:22And then they sort of seem to just get captured by this sort of pornographic fetish-type culture
08:28on the internet.
08:29Maybe they're a little bit on the spectrum, potentially.
08:31This is not me speculating, but if you start to paint a picture, they get sucked into that
08:35vortex and then get radicalized, at least that's what we're seeing in these cases.
08:39This Nashville shooter, the Minneapolis school shooter, all of them.
08:42There's this epidemic of trans people playing, or trans-hympathetic people playing a role.
08:48And I have to think that the medicalization, we don't know the details with him, but if
08:51you start pumping the wrong hormones into somebody and all that, we don't know what it's doing
08:54with their mind and how it's messing with us.
08:56Well, with him, we don't have any suggestions yet that he wasn't on any sort of treatments
09:01or hormones or anything, but the reports are that he did use they, them pronouns, as you
09:06said, and was on a website known for hosting pornographic furry material, F-U-R-R-Y.
09:15Google it.
09:15We're not going to go into descriptions here because, my God.
09:19Wow.
09:20And Charlie Kirk's alleged killer was also involved in furry culture.
09:24Is it clear now, or do we have any sort of a picture of what or who radicalized Thomas
09:32Crookes?
09:32Not much.
09:33The internet analysis that folks like Tucker and others have done suggests he turned in
09:372020.
09:38That's when he took a turn.
09:39And before that, he maybe even was a little bit center-right, people think, and he would
09:42have been very young at that age.
09:44So who knows how deep he was politically.
09:46And then after 2020, just something happens.
09:48Again, it's all speculation.
09:49We know nothing about how deeply he was into that they, them thing.
09:52Was it just changing pronouns or something deeper?
09:54But it's not a good day for the activism around that issue, of course.
09:59And I'd say it's also not a great day for the FBI, just in general, as an institution.
10:03People are very frustrated.
10:04Why is it taking a journalist coming out with these things to hear about it?
10:08And more transparency, please.
10:10Absolutely.
10:10Because people have been crying out for some transparency, some further information on
10:16what happened in Butler.
10:17There seem to be so many inconsistencies that the FBI could have sorted out.
10:21And when you don't give anybody any information, there's a vacuum and all sorts of conspiracy
10:26theories arise.
10:27And then within hours, basically, of Tucker Carlson unveiling all this information, the
10:32FBI release a lot of data as well.
10:35Forced to do it.
10:36And sometimes, OK, the argument is that you don't want to contaminate the jury pool or a
10:40prosecution that might be underway, maybe.
10:42In this case, he's dead.
10:45Exactly.
10:45I mean, the only thing I could think of was if they are undertaking an investigation to
10:51see if there wasn't people who radicalised him, if he was paid or set up to do this,
10:58if there was any sort of complicity from anywhere else.
11:01But we haven't had any news of that.
11:04The Daily Mail reports, you mentioned Crooks' political opinions changing.
11:10They report his views shifted dramatically left around early 2020.
11:16Crooks reportedly called for anti-Trump supporters to conduct terrorism-style attacks against US
11:23government buildings and he even outlined ways to sneak a bomb into a government building and
11:29set it off before anyone can see you.
11:32So, again, you see some of this online material, some of the things he was posting, and you
11:39wonder how he wasn't visited by law enforcement earlier.
11:42I mean, this stuff is extreme.
11:45Yes.
11:45And that is actually another thing in a lot of the cases in the Charlie Kirk case too.
11:48After the fact, you do see some chatter in these Discord chats or chat rooms or what have
11:54you.
11:54And again, just if you look at the budget and the manpower and everything else that is
11:59at the disposal of the US government with the FBI and every other agency, why are they
12:03not catching these things?
12:04And, you know, maybe that's an unfair expectation to put out there, but people are very unhappy
12:09with it because it seems to keep happening and it feels like we're always behind the eight
12:11ball.
12:12Also, in 2020, the FBI was completely directed by the Biden administration to go after J6
12:19and, like, school boards and all of that.
12:21So that was a waste of time when, you know, people were leaving footprints like this.
12:24Exactly.
12:24We had school mums who wanted to get gender madness out of the classroom being investigated.
12:32And then we've got individuals like this posting how-to guides on how to blow up buildings.
12:37And nothing.
12:37And nothing.
12:38Now, let's talk about this feud between President Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
12:44Actually, the president has a new name for her.
12:46Her life is in danger?
12:49Who's that?
12:50Marjorie Taylor Greene, she says.
12:52Marjorie Trader Greene.
12:53I don't think her life is in danger.
12:56I don't think, frankly, I don't think anybody cares about her.
13:00She's going on The View.
13:02She's going on CNN apologising.
13:04God knows for what.
13:05Well, here is a clue to what's behind all this tomfoolery.
13:10He didn't tell her not to run.
13:12But what she didn't say was that he sent her a poll privately, discreetly, and it had information
13:21in it.
13:21And it showed her down 20 points to John Ossoff.
13:25And so in politics, when you want to send a message to someone that you like or that
13:28has been an ally, you don't embarrass them publicly.
13:31You privately send them information and show them what the reality is.
13:34And so I think it's true that he didn't tell her not to run.
13:37But it's also true that he did her a big favour, which is to show her information that a candidacy
13:43statewide in Georgia for her would have been a disaster.
13:46That gives a little bit more information, a little bit more context.
13:49How do you see this?
13:49I think some of it could be just that personal political aspiration stuff, like what Scott
13:54Jennings was alluding to.
13:56Some of it is, I think, substantive disagreements on policy.
13:59It's unfortunate because generally they're in the same tent.
14:03It would be nice if we didn't have this firing squad internally on the right.
14:06But, you know, that's part of the process.
14:08The right likes to really battle ideas.
14:09And so that's what happens.
14:11She breaks with Trump or has been breaking with Trump on a few issues.
14:13One is the Epstein files.
14:15Release it already, she's been saying.
14:16And it was one of two Republicans who signed on to that bill.
14:19And now Trump, in the last 48 hours, has said, yeah, let's release it.
14:22So she was right on that.
14:23She was right on that.
14:24And I think she...
