Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Indictment of NY AG Letitia James ([08:19]–[31:53])

• Background: Letitia James, known for running on a platform of prosecuting Trump, is indicted for mortgage fraud, allegedly misrepresenting a property as a second residence to obtain a better rate, but renting it out instead.
• Political vs. Justice System: Panelists note the irony and hypocrisy in James’ campaign to prosecute Trump while now claiming she's a victim of a weaponized justice system.
  • Phil Labonte ([11:12]): “The left doesn’t actually have any principles. They believe that words are just used to have access to power... you can’t call them hypocrites. Because they’re not being hypocritical. They just don’t have any...”
  • Riley Moore ([10:27]): “They’re actually being prosecuted for committing crimes they’re used to just being able to do whatever the hell they want...”
• Comparison to Trump Prosecution: Discussion centers on double standards, referencing Biden’s “independent” DOJ prosecuting Trump, versus Trump allegedly “putting pressure” on DOJ to go after James.

2. The Morality of the Left, Postmodernism & Power Analysis ([11:12]–[19:13])

• Panelists riff on postmodernism, the collapse of shared moral standards, the left’s “might makes right” philosophy, and the dangers of moral licensing (“I’m the good guy, so I can do anything”).
  • Libby Emmons ([12:19]): “The left believes they have a moral authority, and that gives them the right to seek power at any cost...”
• Discussion on Godlessness and Authority: Seamus and Phil discuss the etymology of authority, connecting a lack of faith with disregard for law and order.

3. Weaponization of the Justice System & Will Trump "Go All the Way?" ([19:13]–[24:10])

• Will Trump Pursue Prosecutions? Panel split:
  • Riley Moore ([19:43]): Confident the DOJ under Trump will pursue charges aggressively.
  • Phil Labonte ([21:31]): Skeptical, questioning whether Trump has the “stomach” to push hard enough, citing Trump’s desire for popularity over sticking to tough decisions.
  • Nick Sorter ([20:20]): “I have it on very good authority that this is the first two of many, and there’s some bigger names in that pot.”
• Desire for Accountability: Riley expresses grassroots conservative exhaustion with one-sided prosecutions, wanting figures like Comey and James held accountable for “Russia Collusion hoax.”

4. Political Meltdowns & Hypocrisy: Katie Porter and Abuse Allegations ([31:53]–[38:44])

• Katie Porter’s CBS Interview Meltdown: Porter storms out after being pressed with follow-up questions—panelists mock her expectation of friendly “protected” media.
  • Riley Moore ([35:14]): “The best part... it was a follow-up question. Like they never get follow-up questions...”
• Allegations of Abuse: Discussion of resurfaced claims Porter poured hot mashed potatoes on her ex-husband’s head—panelists treat the allegations seriously and point out hypocrisy in Porter’s public persona versus private behavior.
• Media Optics: Commentary on how legacy media frames protesters and political activists’ demographics to control narrative.

5. The Influence and Risks of AOC and the Progressive "Squad" ([84:06]–[90:03])

• Possible AOC Primary Against Schumer: Panelists agree AOC is “the most dangerous Democrat,” able to raise massive funds, command a huge following, and push the Democratic party leftward.
  • Phil Labonte ([86:39]): “At some point she is gonna run for president.”
  • Riley Moore ([86:47]): “She’s a serious threat... Unfortunately, some serious capabilities that are really scary, to be honest with you.”
• Progressive Influence: Libby notes AOC leads the party left, creating a “question of what the American people are going to believe is going to do right by them and their kids.” The specter of “Zoomer Waffen”—a farther right, frustrated youth movement—is floated as possible if MAGA fails.

6. RFK Jr, Circumcision, Autism, and Tylenol ([46:04]–[56:59])

• RFK Comments: RFK Jr is heavily scrutinized for suggesting a link between circumcision, Tylenol, and increased autism rates. Panel divides on credibility, but notes how any dissent from mainstream positions is instantly called “conspiracy” or “antisemitic.”
  • Libby Emmons ([55:05]): “Why are there so many [kids with autism]? Why is this such an increasing thing? ... there must be some cause of autism. And what is it?”
• Panel Cautions: Emphasize distinction between correlation and causation; express support for free inquiry and skepticism of kneejerk establishment defense.

7. Nigeria’s Christian Genocide & Lack of Media Attention ([65:06]–[77:13])

• Riley Moore’s Advocacy: Highlights the underreported mass killing of Christians in Nigeria (7,000+ in 2025 alone, 51,000 since 2009); Biden admin removed “country of concern” status, reversing Trump’s pressure.
  • Riley Moore ([66:53]): “These folks are obviously Christian martyrs... It’s a tragedy that’s unfolding, and we’re not doing anything about it.”
• Call to Action: Request for listeners to pressure Congress and pray for the victims.
• Media Silence: New York Times hasn’t covered the issue since 2010; guest praise for alternative media in publishing these truths.
• Historical Parallels: Seamus draws parallels with past neglect, such as the Holodomor, and the role of religious revival in future Western resistance.

8. Islamic Fundamentalism, the Left, and "Useful Idiots" ([110:20]–[115:17])

• Strategic Alliance: Panel discusses how the American left enables radical Islam for mutual benefit, but are mere “useful idiots” whom Islamists will discard if victorious.
  • Phil Labonte ([110:32]): “...the left in the United States are just useful idiots. And Hamas is using them.”
• Theology vs. Revolution: Debate whether Christianity is targeted by the left because it blocks revolution or whether eradicating Christianity is the revolutionary end itself.

She wanted the whole world to know, or at least one of her staffers wanted the world to know. When they leaked that footage to the press, RFK said that circumcision is linked to autism through Tylenol use. I believe that was his quote.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Thank you so much.

[Libby Emmons]

I'm Libby Emmons. I'm with the Post Millennial.

[Riley Moore]

Hey there. Riley Moore, CONGRESSMAN in the 2nd Congressional District, which we're sitting in right now. You, me, Riley Moore, wv. Good to be back with you all. Haven't been on in a little while, so it's always fun being on this show.

[Nick Sorter]

My name is Nick Sorter. I am Portland police's most wanted criminal right now. Recently charged with disorderly conduct for filming in the street. And I'm happy to be here. Thank you guys for inviting me.

[Phil Labonte]

Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band all that Remains. I'm an Anti communist and a counter revolutionary. Let's get into it.

[Seamus Coughlin]

But hold on, before we dive into the story, what did you get in trouble for?

[Nick Sorter]

Filming the antifa protest that's happening out there in front of the. And I say. When I say protest, I mean protest.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Mostly peaceful.

[Nick Sorter]

Oh, yeah, mostly peaceful. A little bit fiery most of the time.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Like, I was mostly filming.

[Nick Sorter]

Yeah, yeah.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Should have been your defense. I was mostly not filming, actually.

[Nick Sorter]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, so that's. That's kind of the problem out there, because the actual. The legacy media out there doesn't bother covering the situation, as you know, as Libby knows, I'm sure you know, because your reporter, Katie Daviscourt, is like, one of the best in the business. I freaking love Katie. And she was out there and I saw her get hit with that flag pole. And I watched the video of this assailant just walk away and say, I believe the police started walking with the assailant. And the cop said, you're detained. You're not free to leave. And that assailant said, f you. No, I'm not. And then walked away.

[Libby Emmons]

Right. And started saying, I'm underage. And it's like, okay, so, like, so you should go to juvie.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Juvie, right? Juvie's place to have that.

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah.

[Nick Sorter]

So I decided I was gonna go out there. And within, like, 24 hours of being there, Portland police arrested me, not her assailant, but me, for filming in the street. So.

[Seamus Coughlin]

And can I ask you, like, what. What charges did they try to bring you up on here?

[Nick Sorter]

Disorderly conduct.

[Riley Moore]

Because.

[Nick Sorter]

Because the rest of it is apparently.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Orderly, very well ordered. And then you showed up with your camera. It was all fine before you came here and filmed it. Wow. Okay, well, listen, it's all backwards. We know it's all backwards. We know they're all about political prosecutions. And while they're out here arresting journalists for filming things they don't want the public to see, they're whining and complaining that Letitia James was indicted and charged in a fraud case after pressure by the Trump campaign. So as you all remember, Letitia James actually ran on prosecuting Trump. Highly unusual to run for office on prosecuting an individual person, but she did that. And now she's gonna sit there and talk about how the system is weaponized, of course. So New York Attorney General Letitia James was charged Thursday as part of a mortgage fraud investigation aggressively pushed by the Trump administration, becoming the latest foe of the president to be prosecuted by his Justice Department. You gotta love the framing there. Political Prosecutions just fell from the sky once Trump got elected. Who's Letitia James? What was she known for from before this happened? And secondly, of course, the article starts with she has been indicted. There is pressure that the Trump administration has put on the Justice Department. Now, remember when the Justice Department was charging people under Biden, we were told, well, that's separate from the Oval Office. And Joe Biden doesn't determine who the Justice Department goes after. But of course, we're told that President Trump of pressure. Interesting how now that's possible.

[Nick Sorter]

There is a fantastic post from Letitia James that resurfaced here. Say, there's always a tweet for everything, man. I'm telling you, when powerful people cheat to get better loans, it comes at the expense of hardworking people.

[Phil Labonte]

Yes, it's real.

[Nick Sorter]

Everyday Americans cannot lie to a bank to get a mortgage. And if they did, our government would throw the book at them. There simply cannot be different rules for different people.

[Seamus Coughlin]

So is she saying she's not a regular American?

[Riley Moore]

Don't forget, this all goes back to the Trump over, you know, supposedly overvaluing Mar A Lago.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, exactly.

[Riley Moore]

And she now is in trouble for mortgage fraud for some property that she has in Virginia, which is, I think the shocking thing for them is that they're actually being prosecuted for committing crimes which are used to just being able to do whatever the hell they want whenever they want to do it.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Why else get into politics?

[Riley Moore]

Yeah, right.

[Libby Emmons]

These are also not things that they think are crimes when they do them.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yes.

[Libby Emmons]

They just think it's crimes when these are crimes when Trump does it. And if you remember, during the Biden administration, you actually had Joe Biden saying to Merrick Garland to make sure to go ahead and prosecute Trump. That happened. And he would say repeatedly, oh, the DOJ is separate and that's independent. But that was on the record. The New York Times reported that out that Biden went to Merrick Garland and said that he wanted Trump prosecuted.

[Phil Labonte]

This is something that we talked about last or that I talked about not last night, the night before. The left doesn't actually have any principles. They're not going to go ahead and say, well, we believe this is. Is something that is. We have to worry about when both sides do it or whatever. They believe that words are just used to have access to power. They don't believe anyone comes from a honest argument. They don't believe there is honest arguments. They believe that it's all about exercising power. So you can't call them hypocrites. Because they're not being hypocritical. They just don't have any. They don't believe that you can make an honest argument. Their point is we will make whatever argument we have to make to win. And this goes back. This is because most of them believe in a postmodern philosophy, or at least a fundamental basic understanding of postmodernism as reality. And they say that it doesn't really matter what I'm saying. I just want to win the argument. I think it might have been Sartre that said this, but I forget who it was. But they said, he said it doesn't matter if I'm making an honest argument. All I have to be is interesting, right?

[Seamus Coughlin]

And the thing too, these people are interesting.

[Nick Sorter]

I'll tell you that.

[Libby Emmons]

The thing too is they, they, they believe, the left believes that they have a moral authority and they believe that that moral authority gives them the right to seek power at any cost. And we need to remind them all the time that they actually have no moral authority. And part of that is that they have no morals.

[Seamus Coughlin]

There's nothing there's there'.

[Phil Labonte]

Without. Look, I'm not particularly religious, but if you don't believe in a God, which most of them don't, there is no actual morality. Right. And this is, this is the point that 100 true.

[Libby Emmons]

And that's for real. And that's, you know, you mentioned Sartre, and if you go back to Sartre, said that existentialism was the scariest thing because it put all of the responsibility on mankind. And these leftists not only believe that there's no God, but that they have no responsibility. So it's even worse.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Riley Moore]

So, yeah, I mean, they're able to manifest their own desires through their own power.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Right.

[Riley Moore]

It's like the might makes right. I mean, that's kind of the end of it.

[Seamus Coughlin]

It's. Yes.

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah.

[Riley Moore]

I, you know, might makes right. I have the power, therefore I'm infallible. Anything that I'm able to do is therefore correct. I'm doing this for the greater good, to defeat this evil that's out here, Donald Trump and the rest of the crew. So as Phil rightly put it, there are no morals. There's no lines in the sand that they're not willing to cross. It's might makes right. And they're going to do what it takes to defeat their enemies.

[Seamus Coughlin]

That's right. And I appreciate you guys are touching on this idea of moral licensing. I'm the good guy, so I can do whatever I want. You hear Them say this all the time. Well, we're antifa. That just means anti fascist, so we can do whatever we want. That is such a facile argument. That's like saying, well, you know, like fascism just comes from the word bundle. So antifa is against bundles with. It doesn't make any sense. Like how deep are we going to go in the deconstruction of words? Obviously they're okay with all of the emotional baggage that side up with fascism. And of course for good reason, because fascism is a terrible ideology. But that doesn't mean anyone who says I'm part of the anti bad ideology club, I'm part of the antifa club, is a good person.

[Nick Sorter]

After spending a week out there with all these antifa people, like, they say they're anti fascists, but these are some of the biggest fascists that I've ever dealt with in my life. Try walking on their sidewalk and they're gonna beat you with a pole. Right?

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah.

[Nick Sorter]

And then, and then they'll go, they'll call the cops on you. They hate the cops.

[Seamus Coughlin]

And you film them. And you shouldn't have done that.

[Nick Sorter]

Right.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Assault with a deadly camera. Right.

[Riley Moore]

At the end of the day, for these folks, words are violence. Right. Anything that is the opposite of their worldview is violence.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yep.

[Riley Moore]

And.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Except violence.

[Riley Moore]

Except violence.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Everything is violence except violence.

[Riley Moore]

Except when they. Except when they perpetrate violence, then it's justified.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Or it's like socioeconomic factors or something like that. But they are literally never responsible for violence. I appreciate what you guys are mentioning too, about authority and how these people don't believe in God. The word authority actually comes from the word author. It is the creator who has the ultimate authority. And then we're able to partake.

[Libby Emmons]

Did you know data brokers are making billions selling your personal information, usually without your consent.

[Phil Labonte]

That's how your information lands in the.

[Libby Emmons]

Hands of scammers, spammers, even stalkers. It's why you get endless robocalls and why ads seem to follow you everywhere. That's where Aura comes in. Aura actively removes your data from broker sites and keeps it off. They also instantly alert you if your information shows up in a breach or on the dark web.

Other companies might just sell credit, monitoring or just a vpn. Aura gives you all of it at the same price. Competitors charge for just one service. Start your free trial today at aura.com hidden protect yourself [e-mail] hidden participate in his authority.

[Seamus Coughlin]

And that's what legitimate authority is. And through God's permissive will. Obviously there are people in positions of authority who aren't great people who we don't want to have be there, but that's the ultimate source of, of authority. And so of course people who don't believe in him and especially these leftists who just openly hate him, they're not going to respect rules and norms of morality when they come into power. They're not even running their own lives. Well, like have you ever seen. Listen, I have known a number of left wing people in my life. I've had a number of friends who are left wing. Some of them were decently cool people, but for the most part, and I say this like even sympathetically about the ones I'm really cool with, like their lives are often just not in a place that you want to emulate. On rare occasions they are, but for the, for the vast majority of circumstances it's like you're someone who isn't even in control of your own life and that's why you want to control everyone else. Right. Who I think it might have been Augustine who said this, that it's like any, like it's harder to conquer yourself than to conquer the world. They can't conquer themselves and they're not even trying so they just have to go try to control everything else.

[Libby Emmons]

Well part of that is that they worship themselves.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yes, yes.

[Libby Emmons]

I think that the self is. There is a God and so that's what they worship to that point.

[Phil Labonte]

Like there's a lot of people that would call themselves satanists but really what it is is worship of the self.

[Seamus Coughlin]

That is Satanism.

[Phil Labonte]

That's what. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Back around to.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Libby Emmons]

Look at like the abortion ritual that the satanic temple put out. It's all about like, oh, I'm more important than the baby.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, like do like the, I mean the Satanists have a saying like do what thou will, but harm none or whatever. But they believe that revenge is okay and, and etc and that's something that you see a lot in Antifa. They, a lot of them wear you know, pentagrams or, or the, you know, the goat and stuff like that. Look, I mean I've been in a metal band for 20. You know, I've been in a metal band for 25 years. So this kind of, this kind of that kind of. That imagery doesn't faze me. But when you see these people doing it, like, you really do understand that this is not about just imagery. It's about them actually worshiping themselves, believing that the weight of fulfillment is giving into every whim you have. And that is completely antithetical to what reality tells us. Like, freedom comes with discipline, because if you're not disciplined, then every whim you have, you're a slave to. You know, whether it be. Whether it be, I'm, I'm hungry and I want to eat something that's bad for me, or I don't feel like going to the gym. So that way I, you know, I gain weight and I get out of shape and I look, I feel terrible all the time. Like, actual freedom comes with the discipline to say, I want this and I'm going to do the things that I need to do to achieve this.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Exactly. The freedom to do as you are. You asked the question, like, you know, we as modern people tend to think of freedom as a political concept, as a choice between two different options, which. What freedom actually means is the true ability to choose the good. So if I'm someone who's always eating Twinkies and I never work out, and, like, Phil is somebody who's always working out, and he's getting shredded. If Phil wants to do my thing for a day, if he wants to just chill out and eat Twinkies, he's, like, kind of. He can make that decision because he's disciplined enough to do other things. It is way harder for me to, like, get up and go to a gym. So the more in vice you are, the less free you actually are, because that momentum stops you from being able to make other choices, vice versa.

[Libby Emmons]

Vice enslaves you.

[Seamus Coughlin]

It's exactly. A man has as many masters as he does vices. But specifically on this, this topic with Letitia James, my question to you guys is, as we see this ramping up, do you think the Trump administration actually has what it takes to go all the way on these things? Because, as you know, he who digs half a grave, or, I'm sorry, he who. He who fights half a revolution, digs his own grave. Like, if you only take it halfway there, then they come to power and then you're in jail and your constituents get locked up. Do you think the Trump administration is going to go all the way with this?

[Riley Moore]

I think President Trump's acutely aware of the consequences of losing in any of this. I think he's acutely aware of that. So I just want.

[Phil Labonte]

I want to hear everyone, because I think I have a different take.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah, I think he's acutely aware of that. Look, the Department of Justice is going to go through this process. I think all of the Trump supporters, including myself, they want to see it.

[Nick Sorter]

Go all the way.

[Riley Moore]

Folks in Congress want to see it go all the way. We're gonna see, I guess. But I've got a lot of confidence in it. I do. I got a lot of confidence. Phil, you got another take, though, man.

[Nick Sorter]

I find it very unlikely that the Trump administration is actually. They're not going to bring charges that they don't think will stick. Yeah. And so that's one of the biggest parts about this, because if you get Comey or Letitia James or, you know, God forbid, both are acquitted, you're. I mean, it just makes your entire Department of Justice look like a total joke, and then it's gonna be.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, it was just theater.

[Nick Sorter]

So that's. So we can't have that. And I think that's why it's moving a lot slower than people want it to. But I have it on very good authority that this is the first two of many, and there's some bigger names in that pot.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Thank goodness. Thank goodness. Libby, do you have something to say about it?

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah, I do think the Department of Justice is actually moving relatively quickly with all of this, and they have so many cases because they actually have to.

[Nick Sorter]

Put it to a grand jury first as well.

[Libby Emmons]

They have to put it to a grand jury, but also they've been dealing with some. So many of these ludicrous judges coming back and saying that the federal government doesn't have the authority to deport criminal illegal immigrants or to bring in the National Guard to protect ICE agents doing their job. So the DOJ really has their hands full, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of these fall through the cracks. But I think that they're moving as quickly as they can, and I think they have good people on it.

[Phil Labonte]

All right, So I don't think that Trump has the stomach to do what's necessary. And the reason I say that is because if there is one thing that Trump wants, it's people to like him. And he. When people say they're upset, they're angry. When his poll numbers start tanking, for whatever reason, he will change course. He always does this. And I was saying this on Thursday, on Tuesday, he is the president that is very pragmatic. When he sees that his policies are not popular or not working, he will change them. And I think that what Trump will do now, I'm not talking about just specifically with Letitia James or what have you. I'm talking about the real gutting of, of these NGOs and the international stuff when it comes to antifa and stuff like that. That's where the real issue lies. Not just sure there are, there are people in the, in the, in the bureaucracy that are bad and that, that should be, you know, tried. We should. If they've, if they've got, they've broken the law, if a grand jury thinks that they can, can have enough evidence to, to try them, I want that. But I don't know that Trump has the stomach to really push it as far as he has to. I would like to because. Especially because as soon as I think that, I think, I think in 2008, I don't. If he doesn't hold the Congress, if the Republicans don't hold the Congress, there will, I mean sorry, 2028 when, when, when the House is up for, for election again.

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah, yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

Or 26. I'm sorry. I don't think that if, if the Republicans don't hold the Congress, I think they're going to be impeachments and they're going to do everything they can. They're definitely, you know that that's without a question.

[Libby Emmons]

If so I don't, they've said it outright.

[Phil Labonte]

I don't, I don't think that he has the time. Hold on, let me, let me finish. He doesn't have the time and I think that the only chance that we have of actually fixing things long term is someone that's more aggressive than Trump coming after him. And I don't know that that's going to happen. But if JD Vance Work is the guy, and I'm not saying that he is, but we need someone that is literally twice as aggressive as Trump.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yes.

[Phil Labonte]

Someone that will actually make the left say, will actually frighten the left because right now they talk like they're exactly.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Someone who will actually make the left afraid to pretend to all this say.

[Phil Labonte]

All the stuff that they call Trump. That's what we actually need. Someone that will really push the boundaries of the law.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah. Look in God willing, I want J.D. i think J.D. is going to be the guy. I think J.D. stands a very good chance when vice president, hopefully be the next president. I want to see people locked up. I want folks locked. I'm tired of just our side getting locked up.

[Seamus Coughlin]

That's right.

[Riley Moore]

For just made up stuff. When you have real things here like this Russia collusion hoax, that's why they got Comey indicted over here. Someone's got to go to jail over this. And I think the voters, the base, we all want it. Members of Congress like myself, someone's got to pay because this is not right.

[Seamus Coughlin]

And you know what guys? Anyone who thinks this is too far, how could we be indicting a politician in the United States? Let me tell you a story for those who haven't heard me talk about this before. There was a gentleman by the name of Mark Hauck. He's a family man, pro life activist. He was protesting outside of an abortion clinic in this vulgar, obscene. Older man started making sexually charged comments at his 12 year old boy. So he pushed this man away. The Soros funded prosecutor in that area said it was a nothing burger. Said that they weren't going to go after him. Said that there was, there was nothing there. The juice wasn't worth the squeeze. It wouldn't be worth the car ride to his house. Okay, then after Roe's overturned, what does the Biden administration do a year after this happened? They charged this man with a violation of the Face act. They sent a SWAT team to his house in the middle of the night to arrest him and drag him out of his home. And this woman thinks she's above the law when this has been happening in her country under her nose like granted this wasn't her jurisdiction, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. These people are all part of the same system and they're punishing regular Americans for completely political reasons. She ran on charging Trump for political reasons and now she's being charged for something that I'm sorry, does not look political to me. Based on what I'm not.

[Riley Moore]

She committed a crime. She committed a crime. You know, I mean just in my opinion. Innocent took proven guilty.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Exactly. That's why I'm being careful and based on the evidence. But my understanding of the case is they're saying that she purchased a house. Again, this is allegedly, this is what they're saying in the indictment. They're saying she purchased a three bedroom home. She said that it was a second residence so that she could get a lower interest rate on it. But according to the indictment, they're saying that she was renting it out, something like that. She wasn't actually using it as a resident. See is the point. And so they're alleging that there was.

[Nick Sorter]

Fraud and she and she.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Political thing, dude, that's like fraud's not legal, right?

[Libby Emmons]

Adam Schiff do something like that. Didn't he say primary residence?

[Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Nick Sorter]

At the time. You're a representative from California and you're calling a Maryland resident your primary. I mean, it seems like this open and shut case, either.

[Libby Emmons]

Either he shouldn't have his seat or he's committed to.

[Nick Sorter]

He was ineligible. If that was actually his primary residence, he was ineligible to run for Congress to begin with.

[Libby Emmons]

Like Wyden from Washington. Is Wyden's Washington, or is he Oregon Wyden? But doesn't he live basically in a penthouse in New York? I mean, like a townhouse in New York City? Yeah, yeah, Wyden. And doesn't he have, like, two other addresses as well? He has a place in Oregon and he has a place in D.C. in D.C. yeah. Like, where does he actually live? Because I posted something about Wieden being a doofus on Twitter and did you.

[Riley Moore]

Read that article about his family?

[Phil Labonte]

You were right.

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah. Then I went and read an article because somebody commented and they were like, he doesn't even live here. He lives in New York.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah.

[Libby Emmons]

And I started looking it up and I was like, damn, he doesn't live in Oregon.

[Seamus Coughlin]

That's nuts. That's actually insane.

[Libby Emmons]

His wife is the heiress to the Strand Bookstore fortune.

[Phil Labonte]

Wow.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I just. I want to draw your guys attention to this. She did post a video on Twitter I was watching a little bit earlier. There's something. Let's be honest, there's something unsettling about it. There's something unsettling about it. Like, if she didn't share it, I would think it was AI or something. It's really weird. This is nothing more than a continuation of the president's desperate weaponization of our justice system. He is forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding all because I did my job as the New York State Attorney General. These charges are baseless, and the president's own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost. The president's actions are a grave violation of our constitutional order and have drawn sharp criticism from members of both parties who. Yeah. His decision to fire a United States Attorney who refused to bring charges against me and replace them with someone who is blindly loyal not to the law, but to the President, is antithetical to the bedrock principles of our country. She thinks she's above the law. This is the time for leaders.

[Riley Moore]

You mean the Biden U.S. attorney didn't want to charge you? And he appointed me to speak out.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Against this blatant of our system of justice.

[Phil Labonte]

This justice.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I stand strongly behind my office's litigation against the Trump Organization. We conducted a two year investigation based on the facts and evidence, not politics. Judges have upheld the trial court's finding that Donald Trump, his company and his two sons. Hold on. I just. I got it. She. She talks like William Shatner in Star Trek. She talks like Kevin. Justice in this country must liable for fraud be protected. I'm a proud woman of faith. I know that faith and fear cannot share the same space. And so today, I'm not fearful. I'm fearless. And as my faith teaches me, no weapon formed against me shall prosper.

[Nick Sorter]

She wrote which version of chat GP.

[Seamus Coughlin]

And my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights.

[Phil Labonte]

That's insane.

[Seamus Coughlin]

And I will continue to do my job. Literally. Drama monologue. I don't know why she's talking that way. She ran.

[Phil Labonte]

She ran on finding some way to prosecute.

[Riley Moore]

She literally ran on.

[Phil Labonte]

Literally. Like, not, like, openly. There was. There was nothing subtle. Yeah, there's no. No, nothing subtle. It was like, we're gonna get Trump. Yeah. Now, to say stuff like this, it's insane.

[Nick Sorter]

Dude, that lazy eye was getting to me that entire time, too. I didn't even know she had that thing.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I don't want to make fun of her for that, but her.

[Nick Sorter]

I'm going to make fun of her for everything. I hope that they've got a 4XL jumpsuit waiting for her. Set one aside. Big tish.

[Phil Labonte]

It just. It bothers me so much, like, knowing that you can just go look at her campaign. She was openly saying, I will use the Justice Department to get Donald Trump. And then when you get into the details of the case that she had against him, this is because this was the Florida one about the value of the. Yeah. Like, the bank went on record saying, no, we would do business with the Trump Organization again. We made money. We went into this knowing full well what the situation was. The Trump Organization, these are all sophisticated actors. They all have agency. They all know the business very well. Everybody involved was completely happy with the transaction. And then Letitia James came in and said, we're going to basically erroneously or illegally value the house, the property, like, $100 million less than the surrounding properties.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah, yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

And. And we're going to prosecute on those.

[Riley Moore]

And so right after the election, I was in Mar a Lago with Trump, and he was talking about this. He's like, you see that? You see the chandelier here? It's worth more than the valuation that they're talking about. This chandelier alone is worth more Than what they're talking about here.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, I mean this is all insane. Listen, it makes our blood boil. It makes us angry. One of my specific pet peeves is when someone dumps boiling potatoes on my head.

[Riley Moore]

I hate when that happens.

[Seamus Coughlin]

When that happens.

[Phil Labonte]

And you like potatoes?

[Seamus Coughlin]

I do, but not like that. That's not my preferred way of consuming them. Well, there were some allegations.

[Riley Moore]

No way. A Seamus doesn't like potatoes.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Of course, dude, of course. Listen, I love potatoes. I don't like them being abused in that way. And that's why I want to talk about our next story. It's very important to me. Katie Porter, she had the CBS meltdown. You guys probably saw it. And now these abuse allegations have resurfaced that she once dumped boiling potatoes on her ex husband's head. So people who are upset about that kind of thing, which is most normal people probably aren't going to want to vote for her. But I just got to say, listen, this is all allegedly what happened. These are allegations. It's really specific. It's a really specific accusation in my mind. So let's, let's, let's read about this. Abuse allegations against Katie Porter have resurfaced after she threatened to walk out of a CBS interview on being asked a simple question. Her former husband Matthew Hoffman previously claimed the ex congresswoman often abused him verbally and even threw toys, books and other objects at him during their marriage. Hoffman also accused Porter of pouring scalding hot mashed potatoes on his head during a fight. Divorce records show. According to.

[Libby Emmons]

Mashed potatoes.

[Riley Moore]

Yes, mashed potatoes.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Well there's the thing. I know, easy to like see and listen.

[Libby Emmons]

That would be really ridiculous to get.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Off and this is ridiculous. And I was kind of like, listen, I was joking a little bit especially because how specific it is but like genuinely this is a horrible thing to do to somebody. What she. I meant, yeah, that's like you could really burn somebody. That's abuse. If this is true, this is a woman who is abusing her ex husband. Total, total not. Listen, I'm not. Again, it's alleged but none of this seems inconsistent with the clips we've seen.

[Libby Emmons]

No, she seems like absolutely a horrible.

[Riley Moore]

I think she, there was, there was another thing in those records where she like smashed a coffee pot and then threw it at her husband too. I think I remember reading that.

[Libby Emmons]

And somehow she's got her 12 year old daughter or she did at a certain point. Her 12 year old. Morning.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Zoe got donuts.

[Libby Emmons]

Jeff Bridges, why are you still living above our garage?

[Seamus Coughlin]

Well, I dig the mattress and I want to be in a T mobile commercial like you. Teach me, Saldana.

[Libby Emmons]

Oh no, I'm not really prepared.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I couldn't possibly at t mobile get.

[Libby Emmons]

The new iPhone 17 Pro on them. It's designed to be the most powerful iPhone yet and has the ultimate pro camera system.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Wow, impressive. Let me try. T mobile is the best place to get iPhone 17 Pro because they've got the best network.

[Phil Labonte]

Nice.

[Libby Emmons]

Jeffrey, you heard them.

[Phil Labonte]

T mobile is the best place to get the new iPhone 17 Pro on us with eligible traded in any condition.

[Seamus Coughlin]

So what are we having for lunch?

[Libby Emmons]

Dude, my work here is done.

[Libby Emmons]

Daughter was terrified she was going to get raped and not be able to have an abortion.

[Riley Moore]

What, because Trump won?

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah, because Trump won and her daughter was crying and her daughter was 12 at the time and was scared that she was going to get raped and not be able to have an abortion.

[Nick Sorter]

The most surprising part of all of this is the fact that somebody slept with her at some point and created a daughter. That's. That's first off. Secondly, like this is she went to cbs, right? Well, CBS is like running cover for Democrats all the time. That's what she was expecting. And she's like, what? You're asking me questions.

[Seamus Coughlin]

What is this? It wasn't even like that hard of a question.

[Riley Moore]

No, the best part about it is it was a follow up question. Like they never get follow up questions like excuse me, there's a follow up here.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Who do you think you are?

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah, and she said she's never had that experience before.

[Nick Sorter]

It says a lot before.

[Riley Moore]

People just take what I say is truth. To contextualize a little bit though, what Libby said, that statement about her daughter and Trump won and what if she gets raped and now she can't have an abortion? She said she was crying about that after she picked her up from water polo practice.

[Libby Emmons]

Right? Water polo practice. Yeah, that was the other part of it.

[Riley Moore]

It was just perfect.

[Seamus Coughlin]

What a sick.

[Libby Emmons]

This is what she said. I don't care. I want to have a pleasant positive conversation in which you Ask me about every issue on this list. And if every question you're going to make a follow up question, then we're never going to get there and we're just going to circle around. I have never had to do this. And the reporter says, you know, every other candidate has done this. And Porter says, what part of I'm me, I'm running for governor because I'm a leader, so I'm going to. And then she just kept going. I don't, I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you and I don't want this all on camera.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Imagine you were like, imagine you were dating someone and they said that to you. You'd be like, jetpack bro, eject button.

[Libby Emmons]

Right now we're done. I'm me and I'm a leader and I'm me.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Okay, yes. There's one of a kind.

[Riley Moore]

Thank goodness. The subtext there is because the Democrats cook all this stuff. It's like, it's my turn. The machine has given me my turn.

[Libby Emmons]

It's her turn.

[Riley Moore]

And you can tell she's upset because they all submit the questions in advance. Here's what I want to get asked of me. No follow up because obviously that never happens. I just get to say whatever the hell I want and look great.

[Phil Labonte]

The real problem with this is she's still most likely to win.

[Libby Emmons]

So Spanberger and Abigail Spanberger tonight said that she would not draw her endorsement of Jay Jones, who thinks it's fun to joke about murdering his Republican colleagues.

[Phil Labonte]

Yes.

[Seamus Coughlin]

And who fantasizes about children dying complete.

[Libby Emmons]

In their mother's arms.

[Riley Moore]

In their mother's arms.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Creep. Disgusting.

[Phil Labonte]

Like, as much as we can, we can criticize these people, but they're going to win. But the fact of the matter is it's not just the people that are running, it's the people that are electing them. You know, we've got half the country or whatever that feel like it's acceptable for people like this to be in public office. How many? It was like 30% of young Democrats think that violence is acceptable. You know, in the most recent poll on this, like, we've got a real big problem because these people that are these young people, in 10 years, they're not gonna be kids anymore and they're going to be in positions of authority. And this is the argument, and this is the problem that was identified 15 years ago about woke people. Right? Like woke people. Like woke. It used to be. Oh, that's an online phenomenon. When people that were very online were saying, look, this is going to be a problem. Oh, that. They're just kids on Tumblr. They'll grow out of it. You know, once. Once they get out of college and they get to the real world, blah, blah, blah. And what happened? They got out of college and they got into human resources departments, and you ended up having these people doing all the hiring. That means the only people they got hired were people that agreed with them ideologically. And that's a massive problem for our whole society.

[Seamus Coughlin]

This is.

[Phil Labonte]

This is a real, clear and present danger. In 10, 15 years, this is going to be a horrible, horrible situation in the country.

[Libby Emmons]

I will say conservative cousin does human resources, and she's the only good human resources person that exists.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I want to mention this, Phil. I totally agree with you. And I remember when that was happening, people were going, oh, they're just crazy college students. Or like, it's just niche lefties on the Internet. But those same people, they're like, there's a website that invented terrorism. It's called 4chan.

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah.

[Seamus Coughlin]

If you go there, you'll find out why our country has so many Nazis running around the streets. And it's like, okay, there was obviously a double standard at that point in time because they knew that. Actually, even though we like to say the Internet isn't real life, it is made of real people. At least it was at the time, before we had all the bots.

[Phil Labonte]

Nowadays, the Internet is not just real life, it is a prediction machine. If you pay attention to the things that people are saying on the Internet, specifically young people, you can predict what society is going to be like in 10 years. And right now, it doesn't look effing good at all. At all.

[Riley Moore]

Now, if the real young generation, though, I mean, go look. The Gen Z's. They're conservative.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, I was gonna say.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah, they are.

[Phil Labonte]

There's none of them. We talk.

[Riley Moore]

I mean, they're voting for Trump. I mean, it's moving.

[Libby Emmons]

It's not enough of anybody.

[Phil Labonte]

I give you. I'll give you that, Riley.

[Libby Emmons]

But.

[Phil Labonte]

But we talk about this all the time. There is like, the millennial generation was significantly smaller than Gen X. Gen Z is significantly smaller. True. Than the millennials.

[Libby Emmons]

Wait, Millennial was smaller than Gen X? Yeah, and Gen X was tiny, I'm pretty sure.

[Phil Labonte]

So I could be wrong about that. But I know that Gen Z is smaller than millennials and Gen Alpha smaller than Gen Z. So if. If the younger people are actually conservative, that's great, but there aren't enough of them, and they don't vote and you're talking about 50 years before they're a reliable voting block.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah. Interesting. Yeah.

[Riley Moore]

Now, before we move off of this.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Well, we're gonna.

[Riley Moore]

Okay, yeah, let's watch the clip. But if this isn't part of it, at some point. There's a great clip of her in a Batman costume. Yeah. So she dressed up as Batman and sat in a congressional hearing like that. What?

[Seamus Coughlin]

She must get out of my shot.

[Libby Emmons]

I'm not over here. Like, why are you asking?

[Riley Moore]

You gotta find the Batman.

[Libby Emmons]

That one's crazy.

[Seamus Coughlin]

And I don't want to hear what.

[Libby Emmons]

You have to say about it.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Let's. Let's watch this.

[Libby Emmons]

Can we see Katie Porter in the Batman outfit? Just so Nick can say something 100%.

[Seamus Coughlin]

We're gonna watch this first, and then we're gonna get that pulled up while we're watching this. It's dying prematurely to air pollution and other problems.

[Riley Moore]

And this, of course, this person's wearing a mask in the background.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Get out of my fucking shot. Oh, my goodness. It's not that it's Electric Vehicles. It's that if we don't need the Commitments under the.

[Libby Emmons]

And she was wrong.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Okay, it does. Okay. You also were in my shop before that. Stay out of my shot.

[Phil Labonte]

Okay.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I'm gonna start again with Electric Vehicles. Saving us money.

[Nick Sorter]

They didn't bleep the word effing, but they bleeped some other word.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I think it was the person.

[Riley Moore]

What the hell did she call that person? Did she say, electric pickles.

[Libby Emmons]

Goes with the potatoes?

[Seamus Coughlin]

I'm so sorry, but I am about to get on. Bernard, I need you to turn these off. These that are killing me. Hang on one second, everybody.

[Riley Moore]

Can you imagine taking this order at Starbucks?

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yes. We should have.

[Libby Emmons]

Yes.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Okay, everybody.

[Riley Moore]

I'm not that dark.

[Seamus Coughlin]

That's too dark, man.

[Riley Moore]

She's about to pour potatoes on somebody.

[Libby Emmons]

Then it's just the name. Does she come back?

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Do we have the pleasure of. Oh, yeah. Sing her again. Oh, no. Does more happen in this video?

[Riley Moore]

Okay, everybody. I'm the lady in the mask.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Get out. I am in a TV studio getting ready to go on Cuomo.

[Riley Moore]

And so I had all those studio.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Lights on me and I couldn't see.

[Riley Moore]

Myself or see you guys.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Oh, yeah.

[Libby Emmons]

Wow.

[Nick Sorter]

I. I prefer it with the lights off so I can't see her. Did you see that?

[Riley Moore]

Did you see that assistant just fleeing for her life?

[Libby Emmons]

Oh, no.

[Riley Moore]

Like, I'm in the background again.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Oh, my gosh.

[Libby Emmons]

Just with the mask I bet she's told to wear.

[Seamus Coughlin]

She was okay, She's Batgirl. Why did she do that?

[Libby Emmons]

Nobody else is in costume.

[Nick Sorter]

No.

[Libby Emmons]

It's not even Halloween. Even Rashida Tlaib is laughing at her. She looks ridiculous.

[Seamus Coughlin]

That's hysterical.

[Libby Emmons]

Wow.

[Nick Sorter]

How many people are in California? 30 something million. This is the front runner for governor in California.

[Phil Labonte]

What is.

[Nick Sorter]

What are they putting in the water out there, man?

[Seamus Coughlin]

You're not gonna ask any follow up.

[Riley Moore]

This one's great.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, this is. Oh, yeah, we didn't watch this one yet, did we? This one started it all.

[Phil Labonte]

Nearly every nick.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I don't want 40 million and I.

[Phil Labonte]

Don'T want this all on camera.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I don't want to have an unhappy.

[Libby Emmons]

Experience with you either.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I would love to continue to ask.

[Libby Emmons]

These questions so that we can show our viewers what every candidate feels about.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Every one of these issues that they care about.

[Libby Emmons]

And redistricting, it's a massive issue.

[Seamus Coughlin]

We're going to do an entire story just on the responses to crucifix on. And if I follow up questions.

[Riley Moore]

There we go.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, like, when you stop with that as base, like, huh, that just feels like, inappropriate.

[Libby Emmons]

She looked. I gotta say, she looked better in the Batman costume than that dress.

[Nick Sorter]

Yeah, that side profile, that was pretty rough. I wouldn't want to be on camera either with that.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Like, what is happening? Why are these the candidates? Listen, political leaders have always had some issues behind the scenes, right? Is it just that because we have the Internet, we're able to see this stuff more often? Like, if this happened 30 years ago, we never would have saw it. None of us.

[Riley Moore]

That's. That. That. That is true. That's a good point. Now, what I'd like to know is who is that assistant? Is she like, tied up in a basement somewhere?

[Seamus Coughlin]

Like, what is happening? We literally got her in the Batcave, bro.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Riley Moore]

Is she only allowed to come out when she's doing TV appearances to turn lights on or something?

[Seamus Coughlin]

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

[Riley Moore]

Well, look, and I want to know if she wears the mask or if Porter makes her wear the mask. Is that her decision? Or Porter say, put that on when you're around me.

[Nick Sorter]

Well, there was some. I saw some text messages come out today from a former staffer of Katie Porter. That was. Katie blamed this person for the fact that she got Covid at one point. And so she fired the staffer by text message and said, how dare you get me sick. And so that's probably why everybody else was like, I'm gonna freaking wear a mask all the time now. Yeah, there's something Wrong with her.

[Seamus Coughlin]

That's a good point. Actually. That's probably why those people were all wearing masks. That's a very good point.

[Riley Moore]

I don't know why I get this, like, image of her pouring those potatoes. If you all ever watch Game of Thrones, remember, like, poured like the, like the melted metal on that guy who wanted to be king at one point. It's like a crown for a king. Like, that's what I figured. Like, kind of what happened to him.

[Seamus Coughlin]

She's like, oh, you think you're the man of the house?

[Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Seamus Coughlin]

The king is crowned, man. We've got another really wild story. I wish I could tell you we were bringing you something, you know, a little more mild, but this is. This is nuts. And it's a big story. Listen, regardless of where you land on this, by the way, this is a huge issue. So RFK said that circumcision is highly linked to autism. Now, I'm sure people are just going to run with that without the full context, but he did also say that it was because basically, and I don't even know if he did say this, but my understanding is he was making the argument that this is because babies are given Thailand Tylenol after their circumcised. He wasn't just saying that, like, circumcised makes you autistic. But Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy stunningly claimed Thursday there may be a link between circumcision and autism due to the distribution of Tylenol to infants following the procedure. I just want to point something out, by the way. I'm not a medical expert. I know nothing about this. I have not looked into what he's said about Tylenol. Tylenol. I'm not making a claim one way or the other, but what I am saying is, like, if it is the case that Tylenol does have that effect or that it could be contributing to it, then the circumcision thing and babies being given the medicine after that would actually be a link. So I understand why it sounds like a crazy statement, but it's only whether it's crazy hinges on whether his claim about Tylenol is true at all. But you can tell because, listen, it's kind of an unfortunate statement that it's. It's just gonna hit the ears. Very funny.

[Libby Emmons]

This reminds me of unrestic development. Lindsay Bluth. Did you guys ever watch.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Oh yeah, of course. Yeah.

[Libby Emmons]

And she had hoop hands off our penises. It was like anti circumcision group. But like RFK would Totally go to that gala.

[Nick Sorter]

Luckily we had. I had to make sure I pulled this up. So I read it correctly here we got a response that everybody was looking for from Jerry Nadler, one of the best intellectuals in Congress. He quoted it said, this is an anti Semitic remark. I call on all my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to clearly denounce it. I miss the antisemitism here. I don't know.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Because here's the thing, first of all, I mean, I'll just be honest. I'm against circumcision. I think it's a bad thing to do. But let's just say that he's. He's correct. Okay, well then the argument is about Tylenol after circumcision. So that's not, it's not even like an anti circumcision statement. Actually. It's a statement about giving kids Tylenol right after you survive them. But I don't know how that could be anti Semitic circuit. Like Tylenol is not part of the ritual.

[Nick Sorter]

So 65 to 8. I'm sorry, 65 to 80% of US males are circumcised and Jewish people are 2% of the population. I have no idea what this has to do with circumcision, but.

[Phil Labonte]

But yeah, go ahead.

[Nick Sorter]

Or antisemitism. I know it has to do with circumcision or not. Anti Semitism.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah, I think part of it was what they're talking about in terms of Tylenol. Acetaminophen, which is Tylenol actually doesn't have any pain relieving properties apparently in it. Also, full disclosure, I'm not a doctor and that, that's what, you know, people started moving towards ibuprofen, right. Like Advil, things like that, to be able to deal with that. And so because even doctors say it's like unless you have like a super high fever, like 104, 105, like acetaminophen is something that could help address that. But the end of the day it's not a, like a haves properties that deal with pain relief whatsoever, which is shocking if that's true, that we gave it to hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people in the country, young babies when they were circumcised. And so there's obviously correlation that Kennedy's trying to draw here. Right.

[Nick Sorter]

Double the rate of.

[Phil Labonte]

So yeah, to that point, I don't know. I'm not a doctor either, but Excedrin has acetaminophen in it and that is like the Best headache medication I've ever had. So I don't know. I don't know.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Phil Labonte]

I'm not saying. I'm not saying you're right or wrong. I'm just saying my experience is, oh.

[Riley Moore]

And I'm not saying I'm right or wrong. I'm just saying this is what folks are saying.

[Phil Labonte]

If I got pain, I'm going. If I get a headache or whatever, I'm going for excessive is what I'm saying.

[Riley Moore]

But, but didn't Tylenol say something at one point?

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, they were saying, don't use. Don't give this to. To your. If you're pregnant, don't. Don't take this.

[Seamus Coughlin]

It was.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah, don't take Tylenol.

[Phil Labonte]

There were tweets from Tylenol in 2013.

[Nick Sorter]

That's right.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah, that's right.

[Phil Labonte]

We don't recommend that our product be taken by pregnant women at all.

[Nick Sorter]

Well, I think they said pregnant people.

[Phil Labonte]

2013, nobody believed that men could get pregnant.

[Riley Moore]

We still believe could be pregnant.

[Seamus Coughlin]

That was. Yeah, back in the dark ages. This is the other thing, too. I mean, when it comes to this whole conversation about Tylenol, taking Tylenol when you're pregnant, listen, I don't think you have to be that crunchy or that skeptical of the medical system to say people should err on the side of non intervention, especially when they're pregnant. I'm not giving any medical advice here. I'm just saying, and my personal opinion, I don't think it's a crazy thing to say, let's be careful about the medicines we're taking. We're pregnant. Because, like, you're supposed to be careful about the kinds of food you're eating when you're pregnant. They say you're supposed to avoid certain foods that you can normally can have. So it doesn't seem outlandish to me that, you know, somebody might say, hey, we recommend staying away from these medicines. Again, that's not me giving medical advice. I'm not an expert. I just find it interesting that when RFK says something, there's an entire explosion around the statement, and everyone says it has to be false and he's nuts. But to me, I don't know, it doesn't seem that wild. Not necessarily his. His claim about, like, circumcision, but just about avoiding certain interventions. Now, children. So this is what RFK Jr said. We have this video pulled up. Here's many, many other confirmation studies. There's two studies that show children who are Circumcised early have double the rate of autism and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, you know, none of this since.

[Seamus Coughlin]

This positive, but all, all of it.

[Phil Labonte]

Is, we should be paying attention to. But you know, there's a tremendous amount.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Of proof or evidence, I would say as a non doctor, but I've studied this a long time ago. You know, I met Bob to lose. Yeah. Now again, we have this study here. I'm going to say this a couple other times just because this is Tim's channel. I want to be careful. I'm not a medical expert, I'm not making medical claims. But it makes sense to me that if you have a study that tells you there's a disparity between two different groups of people who you're trying to measure outcomes for, you probably look into that instead of laughing at somebody for pointing it out. No, but what about this one? What is this? Circumcision. All right, so this, according to this article, the pain of it is unlikely to cause autism. Yeah, I had to bring it up. Interesting.

[Libby Emmons]

Okay, but was, was RFK saying that there was a, a correlation or was it causation?

[Seamus Coughlin]

He was saying there's a correlation. I don't know if he was even the stats.

[Libby Emmons]

Because the thing too is that you can take any collection of information about a thing and put it together and say here are stats. But that doesn't mean that those things are related in any conceivable way.

[Phil Labonte]

Yep.

[Seamus Coughlin]

No, it's true. And by the way, I want to mention that's an important distinction. We pulled it up.

[Libby Emmons]

Did he claim like most people wearing blue shirts in the room are named Seamus?

[Seamus Coughlin]

That's true. Well, actually, I mean there's the famous.

[Libby Emmons]

And now. Well, but he wasn't, you know, people.

[Seamus Coughlin]

People with the shark attacks, people like eating ice cream, are more likely to be attacked by sharks, but it's because people eat ice cream in the summer. They swim in the summer, basically. I mean, yeah, correlation is not causation. But Kennedy did not specify the research to which he was referring. But a 2015 study out of Denmark that tracked nearly 343,000 Gen Z boys suggested that circumcised males were more likely to develop autism before the age of 10 compared to non circumcised peers all. Listen, I have no idea what the relationship is there, but that's fascinating. That should be studied. I don't know why that wouldn't be studied. That's crazy. I don't know why that wouldn't be further studied, or why further questions couldn't be asked about that, or why it's so insane that we would have a public official invested ostensibly in ensuring that the public is healthy. Bringing this up and asking this question about a widely practiced medical intervention in our country and the potential outcomes based on studies he's seen. I don't. I don't think that's so nuts. I don't think that's so nuts. Any other thoughts, Any other thoughts on RFK's?

[Phil Labonte]

Look, man, I don't really have a whole lot of thoughts on this kind of stuff. I don't like when RFK is talking about, like, vaccines and stuff. I'm like, okay, man.

[Nick Sorter]

Yeah. Tylenol released a statement saying that they disagree. They didn't elaborate. They just disagree with.

[Libby Emmons]

We disagree.

[Nick Sorter]

We disagree. Of course you do. Of course you're trying to sell Tylenol. This is really bad for marketing.

[Libby Emmons]

The thing that I thought was interesting is how many people have been coming at the HHS sector secretary for caring about what causes autism.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Oh, I know. Oh, my gosh.

[Libby Emmons]

We still don't know. And it's like, there's a lot of kids running around with autism, and it's sort of bizarre. Why. Why are there so many? Why is this such an increasing thing? And so maybe he's getting the wrong answer. Like, perhaps circumcision is not a cause of autism, but there must be some cause of autism. And what is it?

[Riley Moore]

Well, yeah, and I think one of the good, great things that Secretary Kennedy's been looking at is vaccines and the heavy metals that are in vaccines. And if that. If there's caus there in terms of increased cases of autism. And he always makes this kind of anecdotal point, which is very true, though. And it's. He does. Are there any adults walking around that he knows that he's friendly with that have autism that are his age and. No.

[Libby Emmons]

Right.

[Riley Moore]

You know, but now in today's day and age, it's much, much more common. And he's just asking the very simple question of why is that.

[Seamus Coughlin]

That.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah, why shouldn't we want to know that?

[Libby Emmons]

We should want to know.

[Seamus Coughlin]

You make a really good point, Libby. Actually, that's under discuss. It's not like this is something that we know the cause of beyond a reasonable doubt. And he's just out here throwing these crazy theories at the wall. There has been an uptick, and people say it's because we're better at diagnosing it. Some are not convinced by that. Argument because they feel that again, there are more people in higher or there are more people in younger age groups that appear to have, have symptoms than older people. Listen. All way beyond my pay grade. I have no idea. I just think that if we're allowed to say that men can get pregnant, maybe we're allowed to ask some questions about what causes autism. I, you know, I don't think that's crazier. I actually don't think it's more insane to ask questions about what's causing a disorder or disability that we don't know the origin of. I don't think that's super crazy.

[Phil Labonte]

Look, the, the situation with the way people are reacting to RFK is as simple as they associating with Trump. It's the same thing that happened with Elon Musk.

[Libby Emmons]

He's a traitor. So they really hate him.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. And also, but like Elon Musk, I'm not sure the traitor is necessary because they would hate anybody that. Marco Rubio.

[Libby Emmons]

Sure. But they specifically hate the Democrats who have been red pilled.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, I think that's why they.

[Libby Emmons]

Go so hard against Tulsi.

[Phil Labonte]

I don't disagree with you that they do. I don't disagree with you, but I don't think that that's necess for them to hate. But I mean, you look at the way that they treat Elon Musk. Now of course, Elon Musk at the first time was a Democrat, but the, the Elon Musk was like the poster boy for like the Green Revolution. He was making Teslas that were going to, they were going to solve global warming. And then, you know, as soon as he started saying hold on, like this, this woke stuff is kind of crazy. Like men can't become women and women can't become men. Like your, your biology is your biology. Then they turned on, on him and.

[Libby Emmons]

Got to the point where Biden administration didn't even allow Tesla to have no insane for the evs. And they allowed all these crappy evs to have it and they wouldn't give Tesla the EV subsidies.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah, they held this huge conference on ev.

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah, that's right.

[Riley Moore]

Administration and Tesla was the only company not invited to that literally built the.

[Phil Labonte]

The current infrastructure for, for electric cars. I mean, I got a, I got a Tesla and you can, I can go go. You know, I can go all the way from, from here in West Virginia to my place in New Hampshire and I will, you know, there's, there's charging stations all along the way. I mean that's, and they're all Tesla charge charging stations. That's a whole infrastructure.

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah, but to you at the rest stops.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, that's a whole infrastructure built by Tesla. Still currently owned by Tesla by the way. Because like Musk owns all of that stuff. He doesn't have. It's not like he's got franchises like where, like where BP has, you know, someone actually owns the store and they just get gas and wear BP's colors. Like he actually owns all that. Part of why he's worth $500 billion now. But like the idea that one company built this massive infrastructure that is actually going this used by all electric cars now like everybody can go to a supercharger.

[Libby Emmons]

Oh, is that right?

[Phil Labonte]

Well, if you have an adapter. Yeah, they make adapters for, for different cars. You know know. Yeah, like my, my Tesla, my Tesla has an adapter that I, that I bought with it and I can use other, other companies chargers if they, if I want. But most of the time, I mean, very rarely do you go to a place that doesn't have a Tesla charger.

[Libby Emmons]

Well, the, the other company's chargers usually are broken or they're not working for whatever reason.

[Phil Labonte]

But again, the guy built the infrastructure for this whole, you know, the green revolution. He owned. So a solar company that again my house has in New Hampshire has solar on it. I'm looking into getting house batteries now. Like all of this stuff is, is because of Musk and they turned Tesla batteries.

[Libby Emmons]

No, I don't, I don't in New Hampshire.

[Phil Labonte]

I don't yet.

[Seamus Coughlin]

But I.

[Riley Moore]

To your point? As soon as he aligned himself with Trump, they started lighting Tesla's on fire.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Insane.

[Riley Moore]

It just, they just started lighting torching dealerships, torching their own cars immediately.

[Seamus Coughlin]

You know, he like stopped drinking a brand of beer and they were like, this is economic terrorism. They're like, you know what? I prefer not to go to Target. Like hold on, calm down. And then they start burning down Tesla shops, dude. Like what is happening?

[Riley Moore]

Like burning Tesla. They try to pretend they liked Bud Light. They never did.

[Seamus Coughlin]

No, no, they never did. People who drank it didn't like it. It was cheap.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah, yeah.

[Libby Emmons]

Well the other thing too is the, you guys were talking about the lighting the Tesla dealerships on fire and all of that stuff. The center for Strategic and International Studies, which put out a study that has been widely cited as right wing violence in, is, you know, worse than left wing violence. That study on left wing violence does not include attacks on Tesla dealerships and the vandalism against Teslas as left wing Violence. It just doesn't include it in the study at all.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I don't know if this is the same study, but one of those studies basically says that literally anyone with any kind of white supremacist tattoo committing any kind of violent crime, including against another white person, is considered a hate crime. So for example, if somebody went to prison and then they were affiliated with a gang because, let's say, and prison's not this nice place where you're able to live out your principles. You know, there are ugly things people have to do to survive. And you join one of these gangs, you get one of these tattoos which is associated with some skinhead gang, you leave prison, you still have this tattoo, you commit another violent crime. Oh my gosh. This was like a neo Nazi crime. Even if it was a crime against another white guy or even a crime against another neo Nazi.

[Nick Sorter]

Yeah, well, the left always finds a way, always finds a way to try to spin it at as, oh, it's actually right wing violence. It's like, oh yeah, they were torching Tesla's but Elon Musk's violent speech is what provoked it. For this is actually right wing violence.

[Libby Emmons]

They also say that Islamic terrorism, they align Islamic terrorism with right wing violence in this.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, total fellow traveler.

[Libby Emmons]

Even though in America, the American left is marching in favor of Islamic terrorism all through our street.

[Nick Sorter]

Yeah, they tried to say that Charlie Kirk's killer was right wing because his parents were. Were maga.

[Libby Emmons]

You know, this guy that never Rebellion against your parents. You know, trans.

[Nick Sorter]

Not. I can't say the other word.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, yeah, well. Well, that's the other thing. Right. You can't infer from the fact that he was in that kind of a situation, as well as the fact that he wrote like catch fascist on the bullet and said that he couldn't negotiate with Charlie Turk's hate. Like you can't infer from that, that he was left wing. But literally anything any white person does is a hate crime against anyone else. If the person who's a victim happens to not be white. White.

[Phil Labonte]

This just speaks to the, to what we were discussing earlier, which is the left. It doesn't matter what the truth is. It doesn't matter what reality is. They will bend and warp whatever narrative they need. Because again, postmodernism is the philosophy of the day with the left after when people realize that socialism as an economic model didn't work in the 60s and 70s, the whole left was in a total train wreck and they had to come up with some way. Way to justify It. And postmodernism was right there. It's like, oh, hey, nothing matters. Nothing's real.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

All you have to do is just use words as an. As a means to exercise power. Because if there is no truth, then. No, no, you know, if there is not this truth, then no truth matters. And we can just shove, you know, whatever we want into whatever. And now you end up with men thinking that if you chop off your penis, you're a woman.

[Riley Moore]

Right. So, yeah, I mean, they're. To your point, there's no objective truth. There's nothing that we all can agree is true. Everything is subjective based on an individual's interpretation. If some person says, I identify as a woman now, my truth has to be your truth. You have to identify with the truth that I have come up with here. So there's no just objective, like, this is true.

[Phil Labonte]

And it's simple to understand that concept. It's like, well, you know, if you're hiding behind a desk and someone walks in and looks around and then walks out, well, to that guy, he didn't see you. So no one was in the room. So to him, it's true that there was no one in the room, but you were still behind the desk.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah. You know, or like to, you know, Bill Maher didn't see the genocide, so there was no genocide happening. You know, that's my segue. That's my segue. It's actually. It's something you know a lot about. So I'm glad to have you here because it's something I'm really not educated on. I've been wanting to learn about. So I'm excited to ask you some questions. Yeah, but Bill Maher said that there are no. I'm sorry, not Bill Maher. My mistake. Al Jazeera was saying to Bill Maher, my goodness, my apologies, Bill Maher. I read that totally wrong, totally confused. No, Bill Maher, there's no. Listen, I have more credibility than 99% of the media, because when I realized I accidentally said something wrong, I immediately corrected myself. And that's why you guys love Shimcast. My apologies, man. So this is an author at Al Jazeera, which, of course, I'm a huge supporter of. I love Al Jazeera. And they are telling Bill Maher there's no Christian genocide in Nigeria. Now, it happens to be the case. Case that our guest knows a lot about this topic, so please inform us.

[Riley Moore]

I do Al Jazeera, otherwise known as Allah Akbar. Great outlet there. So in any event. Yes. So there's a Christian genocide going on in Nigeria. And I sent a letter here just recently, just a few days ago this week, to Secretary of State Marco Rubio to designate Nigeria as a country of particular concern. It's on my Twitter handle if you want to go look at it. Why is that important? If they're designated a country of particular concern, then they can no longer receive security assistance from the United States, which is a polite way of saying arms sales and training, which is currently underway right now with Nigeria. Now, why are we doing that? Because we want them to go out and fight Boko Haram. So Boko Haram and also is West Africa. Boko Haram is more associated with like an Al Qaeda is West Africa is more like isis. And then you have a third group in there, the Fulani. So I'll kind of go through all of these. But Boko Haram is the prevalent one that's been around for a very long time is West Africa. So the Muslim population of Nigeria mostly lives in the northern part of the country. The southern part of the country is where most of the Christians live. It's pretty close split, 50, 50. Then there's that middle band of the country where that's most of the killings are taking place. The Fulani are ones that are. That's an ethnic group. Most of them farmers, are the ones that are undertaking a lot of this indiscriminate killing. But just to give you a couple of examples that have been happening just this year alone known, there's been 7,000 Christians murdered. That's 35 a day.

[Libby Emmons]

Oh, my goodness.

[Riley Moore]

Since 2009, 51,000 have been murdered. And so these folks are obviously Christian martyrs, in my opinion. In my view, they've been martyred for their faith. And it's a tragedy that's unfolding, and we're not doing anything about it. Now, to go back to that designation, why is that designation not there? President Trump put that designation on them, the country particular concern, in his first term. And by doing that, it put the squeeze on the Nigerian government, which is run by a Muslim president and vice president right now. It put the squeeze on them to try to quell the killings in that country. And it did start to lessen the. The murders of Christians in Nigeria. The Biden administration took that designation off.

[Seamus Coughlin]

My goodness.

[Riley Moore]

They took the designation off. And so I am devout Catholic.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Libby. Yeah. Because he is a devout Catholic.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah. Speaking as a devout Catholic, I'd like to see that designation put back on. And just to be clear, this Christian population, they're not just Catholics. About a third is Catholic, third is Anglican, third is evangelical. So that kind of spans the gamut there. And this is. This is a genocide that is happening there. And the United States needs to do something to tighten the screws on Nigeria. We have a lot of security assistance going on with them right now, and there's room for us to be able to turn up the volume or turn up the heat on them, so to speak, and hopefully stop this. It's just, it's continuing, continuing to escalate. They're kidnapping priests and murdering them. There was one that was. They've had 200 priests in the last few years that have been kidnapped. They just had 54 people martyred on Palm Sunday, Ash Wednesday. They kidnapped and murdered a priest. That's just this year alone. And it's going to continue unless we do something. And that's. I'm urging Secretary of State Marco Rubio to redesignate them. A country of particular concern. So that's kind of the lay of the land of what's happening there, there. No one seems to be talking about this.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Why not?

[Riley Moore]

I don't know. And just to flashback to the 90s, I know some of us here remember it, Phil and myself, we intervened in a conflict in the Balkans because a Muslim minority there was being persecuted and killed. Now, look, I've been to Servenitsa. That was a terrible thing that was happening there at that time. I'm not saying we need to go stick boots on the ground and go intervene in this militarily, but there are a lot of things we can do to Nigeria to stop this from happening. And there's a lot of tools in the toolbox for the administration to stop it.

[Seamus Coughlin]

So why was this not the first thing that Trump did when he got back into office?

[Riley Moore]

Well, I mean, look, there was a lot of things President Trump has been trying to do and accomplishing, right? The one big, beautiful bill, all these other things, trying to focus on getting the American people what they voted for, which is to put the. The. Put the American people first, put America first, put the American worker first and the family first. This is a huge issue. I know it's important to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. It's something he talked about when he was a senator. Ted Cruz has also a letter in the US Senate that is the same as my letter. He had some other senators join him on that. So we're hopeful that we're going to be able to ramp up the pressure in the House and the Senate on the administration to focus on this, obviously, they're very busy right now trying to negotiate this historic Middle east peace deal that they're dealing. That was just first step of which was just signed. Huge, huge deal. Not taking away from that. But we have tens of thousands of Christians that have been killed in Nigeria since this thing has been going on. And it's got to stop. No more. And look, we've got to stick up for our brothers and sisters in Christ in this. And it's time for people to stand up, up, be loud and proud about their faith. We're always looking out for all these other groups around the world. This matters, too.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, it absolutely matters. And I'm embarrassed to say I don't know much about this. It's not something I'm informed on. That's why I'm glad that you're here to talk about this. It's something I certainly want to look into more so that we can talk about this more, because it's horrifying to think that this has been happening for years. It's almost never an issue in the news. Our government rarely talks about it. I'm glad that in Trump's first, first term he did something about it. It's unsurprising to me that Joe Biden would undo that. If we're trying to give him some kind of charitable interpretation or at least saying there was like an economic motivation and not just a sheer hatred for what's true, good, beautiful and innocent. Why would Joe Biden repeal this protection?

[Riley Moore]

To be honest with you, I'm not sure why that happened. Some of it is could be speculation here. The Nigerian government is saying everything I'm saying is untrue. Right? Like this is false. It's.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Of course they would.

[Riley Moore]

And obviously Al Jazeera is over here running cover for them. And the Democrats could care less about this.

[Seamus Coughlin]

When they were singing Kill the Boar, there was an Al Jazeera article talking about how. Like that wasn't. I remember I read this while pretty sure it was Al Jazeera, but there were a lot of articles talking about how like, that wasn't genocidal rhetoric. I mean, of course, these people are all carrying water for the radical left. And this is something that comes up a lot because. Because people will say, isn't it so strange that the left has this alliance with radical Islam? Because, you know, Muslims don't approve of homosexuality and they don't like transgenderism. And all the social projects that the left is pushing for are opposed to the values of Islam and the values of Muslims. But we have to realize is this is not some unintentional quirk. The reality is the left emerged on the world stage in the French Revolution with the express purpose of killing Christians. And the only time the left has not done so has been when there were strong enough right wing movements in the country to prevent it from happening. The left was marginalized to a degree in the United States where they were not capable of carrying out their bloodlust against innocent people. And for a very long time, they were still able to do so by slaughtering millions of completely defenseless, faultless, unborn children. And so people ask, how can the left align themselves with Islam? Because getting Christians killed is the project. That's the whole point. Those are their values.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah, yeah. And this is why I think they turned a blind eye to this thing and they just turned the security systems back on for them. Now what they'll say is, well, there's non Christians being killed in this as well. Sure, yeah. Do terrorist groups kill other people?

[Seamus Coughlin]

Sure, of course.

[Riley Moore]

Sure they do. But there's a very targeted, systematic effort that's happening over there in Nigeria area. It's very clear. I don't think they're kidnapping and murdering priests and thinking that that guy is not a Catholic.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yes, exactly.

[Riley Moore]

I mean, it's very clear. They're wearing a collar. Right.

[Libby Emmons]

So New York Times doesn't appear to have covered anything about.

[Riley Moore]

No, nothing.

[Libby Emmons]

Since 2010. That's when they covered it. In 2010.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah, nobody's covering this. I was fortunate enough to be able to speak about it actually on Fox News, Fox Business News. Maria Bartiromo gave me me platform me there a little bit and let me speak about it. Which put like the Nigerians over the edge. They're like, it's on Fox. You know, they're all talking about it. And Fox, to their credit, has been speaking about it a little bit. But you know, this is why platforms like this are so important. I mean, we're talking about, you know, disinformation of the left and all this other stuff that goes on in this country. Can you imagine if like a podcast like this didn't exist? If platforms like this didn't exist? If, you know, post Millennial, all the these, all these things that have come up, we'd still be living in New York Times world.

[Libby Emmons]

We wouldn't know that there were so many of us who were eager for truth.

[Riley Moore]

Yes.

[Seamus Coughlin]

In the New York Times with Walter Durantes reporting was telling us that the holodomor was no big deal when that was happening. They have A track record of ensuring that this kind of information does not get to the public.

[Libby Emmons]

But that's still the paper of record.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Exactly. And that's why I think he got a Pulitzer. And it was never. It was never revoked.

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[Seamus Coughlin]

It's insane.

[Nick Sorter]

Yeah.

[Riley Moore]

I mean, the end of the day, Christianity is growing like wildfire in Africa. And as a Catholic, I can say these people are. They are on fire for their faith. A lot of Catholics now, it's where the church is growing the most, is actually in Africa, the Catholic Church. And the interesting thing is, obviously the west had gone and evangelized in Africa. I think we're going to be in a space here in the future where the Africans are going to start evangelizing in the West.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I agree with you. I think that's absolutely going to happen. You know, they say history doesn't repeat itself. It rhymes. Something similar happened, you know, during the dark ages because Ireland had been so thoroughly evangelized and it was so far away from the rest of Europe. I mean, it's a little island. You had monks there basically copying over the western lexicon and making the Irish saved history. Exactly. No, it's true. Yeah, it's true. And they copied down, like, the western lexicon. They basically were able to save all of this information. I foresee Africa doing that. If we don't turn our countries around in the west, it is gonna be the case that our civilization is gonna be preserved by African Catholics.

[Libby Emmons]

Well, Africa also, though Ethiopia is one of the first places where Christianity took root.

[Riley Moore]

Exactly.

[Libby Emmons]

You know, Africa wasn't colonized into Christianity. They had Christianity before Europe.

[Riley Moore]

Exactly. Christianity has been in Africa before it was in Europe.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yep, yep.

[Riley Moore]

Predates it by. By a mile.

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Mm, man. Well, listen, it's an important topic. Is there anything else you want to say about it before we move on?

[Riley Moore]

No, I would Just. Anybody listening, please encourage your members of Congress to send either similar letters. Contact my office. Please push on this issue. It is critically important. These are good people that are being slaughtered right now just for their faith, and it's a tragedy. So please reach out to your members. Push on them to also urge the administration to help these folks.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah. And of course, if you can say some prayers for them, say a rosary for the intention of Nigeria. Please, please, please.

[Riley Moore]

Certainly believe in the power of prayer. And yes, pray, please pray. I know the left laughs at us when we talk about that, but it is very serious.

[Seamus Coughlin]

You know what? They know it's serious, and that's why they put people in Prison in places like Australia for praying or in Europe, Scotland. They'll throw people in prison. Yeah, exactly. They will throw people in prison for praying.

[Libby Emmons]

Or that pro.

[Seamus Coughlin]

They know. They actually know that it works, man. It's going to be hard to transition.

[Libby Emmons]

That's why they laugh. That's what they laugh. Because it works. And they're eager to make it look foolish, but it isn't foolish.

[Seamus Coughlin]

It terrifies them.

[Libby Emmons]

And after Charlie was killed and everybody went out and started praying, there were no riots. Everyone just got together and literally prayed.

[Seamus Coughlin]

And there was immense power in prayer.

[Riley Moore]

I think, you know, and the sad part though was when they killed those kids, which makes me think my own kids at that Catholic school in Minneapolis. And the mayor came out, basically just mocked the idea of praying.

[Libby Emmons]

What a garbage person Jacob Frey is.

[Seamus Coughlin]

It's just terrible. It's actually disgusting. I mean, that also it just shows you what a horrible position or it is a country that. That did not completely end his political career.

[Riley Moore]

No. Yeah, he'll. He'll win again.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I mean, how can you even show your face in public ever again after.

[Riley Moore]

Saying, oh, because he's got the Somali vote locked up up there?

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, he doesn't really have to worry about it, man. He's got.

[Riley Moore]

He's got the Al Shabaab vote.

[Phil Labonte]

So.

[Libby Emmons]

Right. There it is, man.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Well, in other news, the no Kings Day protests. Another round of them are planned across the nation to oppose Trump administration. Here's what I have to say about the no Kings protests. We saw them happen before and a lot of people were making fun of these protesters. They're saying, these protesters are so old. And it's like, listen, you have to understand, they were there when we beat King George. So it's important to them that we don't see monarchy in the United States again. Of course. Look at this. All right, this is something I learned as a child. I had a wonderful lesson in media optics. When I was probably 10 years old, we were praying outside of Christ Hospital in Chicago because they were performing abortions at a hospital called Christ Hospital. Shane, that is shameful. That's pretty bad and disgusting. And we were there, there were a lot of young families and a news crew came up. And of course, me being a 10 year old, I'm like, oh, news. I wanna be on tv. And my dad said, they're only gonna talk to old people. That's all. And what do they do? They talked to one old couple there. I said, dad, what do they do? They said they want people to think that pro life Protesters are all like old church people. They don't want you to know young people believe this. They don't want you to know young families believe this. This. It is very important to the media, it is very important to the left wing press that their cause is depicted as young, energetic people who care about the issues. And your protest is a bunch of old fuddy duddies. It's kind of like the I already drew you as the soy Jack meme. It's like I already took a picture of an old person at your protest. You're done. But for these no King protests, they couldn't even find a picture exclusively populated with young people. Notice that they couldn't even find one because believe me, if they could, that would be the picture that we saw here. This is a protest for old people who are out of touch. They can't even hide it. They would love to. So, you know, if you didn't think the antics were old enough already, A series of no Kings Day demonstrations are set to take place nationwide on Saturday, October 18th. The protest, I just want to mention, I don't know if you guys know this, in Canada, they actually couldn't call it no. Kings Day was super funny. It's like in Pulp Fiction where they're like, do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder in Europe? It's like, do you know what they call the no kings protest in Canada? But a serious.

[Phil Labonte]

Do they call it in Canada?

[Seamus Coughlin]

I don't even know what they called it in Canada. There was like, no tyrants or something like that.

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah, I think it might have been.

[Seamus Coughlin]

The protester organized as a response.

[Libby Emmons]

No tyrants.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Is that what they said? Of course. Of course, course. The protests are organized as a response to what activists describe as the Trump administration's increasingly authoritarian tactics. On October 18, millions of us are rising again to show the world America has no kings. And no, actually, Jesus is our king. And so take that. And the power belongs to the people. I mean, unfortunately, our country doesn't recognize that, which is sad, but we should. We should be.

[Riley Moore]

Poland just declared that. That.

[Seamus Coughlin]

That was amazing, dude. Poland is always up to something. Rocks something. Up to something. Always up to something good. So I just want to talk a little bit about this protest. What did they say? They. They. What they did here. So this is. This is no thrones, no crowns, no kings. And then down here, they have a diagram of all the nursing homes in the United States. If you have that annoying MSNBC great aunt, like, just put her in one of these places. I think her Birkenstocks. There was also another article I saw about this where they were talking about tying this specifically into, like, reproductive freedom, which of course, as we all know, is Orwellian Newspeak for murdering babies. The whole thing's vicious. The whole thing's disgusting. The whole thing's terrible. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on it.

[Libby Emmons]

It.

[Riley Moore]

So this will be interesting for the audience. This date of October 18th is very interesting because obviously I get asked, when is the shutdown going to end? I don't think they're going to end it before this happens. I don't think they're going. I don't think the Democrats are going to fold.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Then who's paying for it?

[Riley Moore]

Well, I'm just telling you, these folks, they're not going to do that. Now, the 15th is certainly a triggering day because that is when our men and women in the armed forces need to get paid again. And I think, unfortunately, there's perhaps going to be a lapse.

[Nick Sorter]

They just sent the Senate home a few minutes ago, so. Yep.

[Riley Moore]

So there's going to be a lapse in payment for our troops. And if somebody out there is thinking, well, Riley, why don't you do something about it? The House did. We voted for pay for our troops. We voted for all of that. We voted to fund the government. We passed it out of the House. It sits over in the Senate where you've had almost every Republican vote for it. Two Democrats and an Independent who also caucuses with the Democrats as bipartisan support to reopen the government. You need 60 votes to get cloture, which means end debate and then actually vote on the bill. But I don't think they're gonna capitulate before this. But we're all being held hostage because one guy, Chuck Schumer, is scared to death of AOC and the potential of her primary ing him. And so I have called for several times, and I'll say it again, he needs to step aside and let somebody else lead. Because leaders are supposed to lead and take hard votes. They're not supposed to just hold the country hostage so you can win reelection.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Amen.

[Phil Labonte]

Do you think it's likely that AOC will primary him in next?

[Riley Moore]

I do. I do. She'll have the resources. She raises at least $10 million a quarter, if not more.

[Phil Labonte]

So this is something that we were talking about a little bit earlier, and you can actually speak to this, Riley. I personally think that AOC is the most dangerous Democrat basically in Washington because she has such an ability to communicate with people and the chat's going to freak out right now because I'm saying this because they don't like to hear things that. But she is incredibly charismatic and she can relate to people and she can, like you said yourself, she can raise tons of money. It's my thought that if she decides to primary Schumer, she'll win pretty easily. Schumer's old. He doesn't have a lot of people that back him nowadays. There is a. What is it? There's basically a civil war going on in the Democrat Party.

[Riley Moore]

There is.

[Phil Labonte]

Is it the. Is it the old school Democrats Democrats, or is it the far left Democrats that are coming in, the young people like aoc, like the squad? And I think, Mom, Donnie, I think. Yeah, yeah. Even though he's. Even though I think I'm speaking only to Washington. That's a great point, Mamdani. That type of, of, you know, basically it's. It's socialists. And this isn't like hyperbole.

[Riley Moore]

These people, they self identify.

[Phil Labonte]

The DSA and stuff like that. So, so and if, if that is going to be, you know, if AOC does win and she is the, you know, the leader of the Senate, like the far left has won the Democrat Party, then that means that there is no more war. If she, if she the basically the ultimate. The confrontation is going to be Schumer versus afc.

[Riley Moore]

This is their, you know, how we had our fight with the establishment within the Republican Party. This is what's going on over there. The Mandami one, though, is a good example though as well, because Cuomo is establishment guy that they're just trying to jam in there. A Clinton guy. Right. Like that old machine that they're trying to churn back up again. Schumer is the same thing. The thing about Mondami or AOC is a better example. Like Phil's talking about. She's outside of the machine. She has her own machine. She does not need the Democrat machine and that old machinery to. To go out there and win. She has a following. She is probably in my view, the most dangerous Democrat in either chamber right now.

[Phil Labonte]

100%.

[Riley Moore]

And at some point she is gonna run for president.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. Not just the most dangerous Democrat in either chamber, she's the most dangerous Democrat in America.

[Riley Moore]

Yes.

[Phil Labonte]

Because she can not only take Congress, people don't generally win the White House. Right. She's not gonna go from Congress to the White House. She's going to go for the Senate. And then after she serves, and possibly only two years, look at how long Barack Obama was in the Senate before he.

[Riley Moore]

Two years is perfect because you don't have a record.

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

And she's, she's got, she has just as much charisma as Barack Obama did. And that's. Honestly, that is all you need. You don't have to have great policy because legitimately the president is, is the person that signs off on bills. Sure, the president has the bully pulpit, but Congress actually writes the laws. If they decide to write the laws. She can, she could do a bunch of executive orders, but her, the fact that you came in here talking about how much money she can raise, how. I mean, you've walked by her in, in the halls of Congress.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah. I mean, she, look, she engages with folks all over the place and you can see her, she's an operator. I know we all make fun of her like she's a goofball, whatever. She is a serious threat. She's a real politician who has unfortunately, some serious capabilities that are really scary, to be honest with you.

[Nick Sorter]

But every time you ask, every time you see her on TV or answering a question, she makes a fool out of herself. I mean, I don't know who you're talking about, who she's relating to. I mean, maybe you're talking about, relatively speaking, in terms of Democrats, who. Everything that they do is coordinated and not even coordinated very well. I go back to looking at that. Do you remember? I don't remember exactly what it was, but it was. There were like 40 something members of the House on the Democrat side that were given a script and an exact way of doing. They're all holding the microphone in the same position, all synced up. And she didn't participate in that, I don't believe. But I mean, is that what you.

[Phil Labonte]

Mean by the Bernie voters, all the people that love Bernie?

[Seamus Coughlin]

Oh, yeah.

[Riley Moore]

That's why Bernie is around the country together.

[Libby Emmons]

She's been on that whole tour and a lot of the way that she's relatable is literally on Tick Tock. Yeah. And Instagram and all of this because she will. Do I follow her on Instagram because I, you know, I want to catch a story before somebody else does. But she will go on these platforms and she will just talk to people. She will sit there, she will like, you know, cook while she's talking. She'll have a glass of wine. She'll be there was the famous one where she was drinking wine and putting together her IKEA furniture. You know, I mean, that's hugely relatable and it certainly was.

[Riley Moore]

So let me give You a huge example, though, here. Just real quick. She stood in front of that U.S. capitol, talked about the Green New Deal, and we just laughed at her. That's a law.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Riley Moore]

The Inflation Reduction act is a law.

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah.

[Riley Moore]

And we said, no, she's not driving policy for the debt.

[Seamus Coughlin]

She's.

[Riley Moore]

She is.

[Phil Labonte]

She's the most. She, like people don't want to admit, I think she's the most powerful Democrat in Washington right now. Even though she doesn't hold a position of leadership, if she decides something and wants to push something, she will get enough people on her side where it will actually happen. Just like you said, the Inflation Reduction act was just the Green New Deal. It was comedy gold when you first heard about it. Well, just like you said, it is law right now. I mean, there are people that think that I'm ridiculous. I'm telling you, she is the most dangerous person in Washington, D.C. and it's not just dangerous to Republicans, it's dangerous to the country because her policies are absolutely terrible.

[Libby Emmons]

Well, this is what's going on with Democrats, right? They have no leadership. You saw President Trump just the other day talking about, you know, the Democrats, they come to me and I don't even know their names. They have no leaders. It's like Somalia, he said. And I think that everyone knows AOC's name, right? I mean, if AOC goes to the president, he's gonna know exactly who that is. And everyone in America knows who that is. Everyone in America knows her by her nickn. She's had a lot of slings and arrows at her, and she's still come out on top. And she was the first one, right? She was the first one. She was like the leader of the squad. She was the first one to really start pushing the Democratic Party away from the old machine that, you know, runs Chicago, Boston, used to run New York, until this Mom Donnie fellow comes in. She was the one who really started pushing the party far left, and now people are afraid of her. And people are also afraid of. Of, you know, the people who are coming up behind her. That's why Hakeem Jeffries has neither endorsed nor not endorsed Mom Donnie. That's why you saw Kathy Hokel bend the knee to Mom Donnie. And then you know what? He did not endorse her back. And that's what she was really banking on. And he doesn't have to, because he has AOC in his corner and he has all of this stuff. So the Democrat Party is going to move further to the left. They're going to Continue to advocate for, you know, leftist violence. They're gonna continue to pretend antifa isn't part of what they are while encouraging them with their rhetoric to go out and cause mayhem. And this is what we're gonna be facing. I mean, we're gonna be looking in 2028 at MAGA versus the far left. And it's really just going to be a question of what the American people are going to believe is going to do right by them and their kids.

[Phil Labonte]

And if, if the Republic, if the current Republicans aren't successful, if maga, quote unquote, isn't successful, the people that come after MAGA are gonna be your Nick Fuentes'. They're gonna be the people like that, that far. Like they think that Donald Trump, the middle of the road people and the left think that Donald Trump is far right. They have not seen far right. We have not had an actual far right party in this country that would be even looked at for probably 40, 50 years.

[Libby Emmons]

But who would support something like that? I mean, MAGA is not far right. Right. We're like, like pro America.

[Phil Labonte]

We're pro Zoomer Waffen.

[Libby Emmons]

Zoomer Waff.

[Phil Labonte]

I'm not kidding around. Listen, you can laugh, but remember we were all laughing about aoc.

[Riley Moore]

Think about this.

[Libby Emmons]

My son is a Gen Z conservative right now and he's very far from Zoomer Waffen.

[Phil Labonte]

I'm not saying that your son is.

[Libby Emmons]

No, I know his crew. Like that's not their jam.

[Phil Labonte]

Look, I'm telling you, I'm telling you it all it takes is as an, is an economic problem, right?

[Seamus Coughlin]

Because yeah, dude, you're totally right about that economic issue.

[Phil Labonte]

And we've been going pretty well in this country economically, except for the, the, except for Covid. We've had 15 years of really solid economic growth. Right now. There's a massive amount of people that are starting to default on their credit cards. There's probably a bubble in the, in both the housing and on the stock market. The stock market is hitting all time highs every couple days. There's a massive.

[Libby Emmons]

It could just get wiped out.

[Phil Labonte]

It absolutely could. These are bubbles because we printed so much money in the past 15 years, since 2008, they've been printing money and printing money and printing money. This is all gonna pop at some point. And if Republicans are in the White House or in control, the Republicans are gonna get blamed. And that means, means the Republic, the MAGA Republicans are going to get blamed. The socialists are going to actually get into power. And the response to the Socialists, Zoomer Waffen, I'm not kidding. This is not something. And this is not me.

[Seamus Coughlin]

No, dude, I want. I think. I know. I think you're totally right. I think you're completely right. I think you're totally right. It's hard to argue against any of that, actually.

[Riley Moore]

But with aoc, think about this is, if you are a House Democrat, say you're in a D plus 20, would you rather have Chuck Schumer's endorsement or AOC?

[Phil Labonte]

AOC. And 100 heartbeat.

[Riley Moore]

10 out of 10. 100.

[Seamus Coughlin]

100%.

[Riley Moore]

Right. And that's on our side. Right? It's, you know, would I rather have soon or Trump? You want Trump?

[Nick Sorter]

Of course.

[Riley Moore]

Right. She is out there building her own coalition, her own members.

[Seamus Coughlin]

It's.

[Libby Emmons]

She's aligned with the dsa.

[Riley Moore]

I love that. Where it's like, oh, I'm not a socialist. I'm a democratic socialist.

[Libby Emmons]

Like, no, that's just an addictive for.

[Phil Labonte]

Your social DSA tweets, how they follow the sign. The. The what. What was the phrasing they used the. The immortal science of Marxism. Like, that is an actual tweet from the Brooklyn dsa. So, like, this is. This is not like I. This is not just the talk of civil war, right? This is talk of, like, repeating the first half of the 20th century. All that stuff's on the table.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Well, it's also like, you know, every single conservative is a fascist. But, like, lefties who call themselves socialists aren't socialists. Different kind of socialism. I'm not a fascist. I'm a democratic fascist. It's a little different. You know, it's not exactly the same thing.

[Phil Labonte]

Sorry to be such a downer, guys, but.

[Seamus Coughlin]

No, no, no.

[Phil Labonte]

This is really. This is the big thing that I'm.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Scared of, you know, And I know I. I know I plug this a lot, and I always want to evangelize, but the reality is, that's also why I think it's important to have a robust Catholic political movement in your country. Because those are going to be the people who counter the far left, other than the Zoomer Waffen. It's really going to be between the Catholics and the Zoomer Waffen on the right. That's. Those are going to be your options. We need a robust, strong Catholic movement so that when the radical left becomes ascendant and when the far left, like the coalition that Phil is talking about, end up taking channels of power, if they do that, there is a good, thoroughly right wing position that is not insane and barbaric, and that is the Catholic position. So the. Oh, go ahead, Libby.

[Phil Labonte]

Remember though, Fuentes is Catholic, so.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Well, a lot. Yeah, just riffing. There's a. But there's, there's, there's a lot of conversations to have about like a specifically Catholic political movement.

[Nick Sorter]

For sure.

[Libby Emmons]

I think that it's. I think one thing that is important in terms of bringing Christianity back to the fore is that for years this was primarily a Christian nation and our values and traditions and cultural norms and civil norms were based on Christian values. You know, how you treated people in public and all of that. And then basically atheism took over. And after a couple generations, people are raising their children atheist and eradicating Christianity from public life. And the problem with that is the peaceful atheist society that we had was actually based in Christian values. They just didn't name them. But now that it's been several generations, it's been a couple of generations anyway, those atheist sort of norms are no longer based in Christianity at all because it's been eradicated from public life so strongly. And it's been interesting to see this sort of like nouveau revival movement. And I don't know about you guys, but when I was a kid, when I was in, I guess, middle school probably, like, we learned about revival movements in the United States that were like in the late 1800s or whatever, and, or maybe 18, whatever, I don't know, around there, who knows somewhere. But we learned about these revival movements and our teachers basically told us that they were snake oil salesmen and that they were all, you know, stuff and nonsense and that it was people just getting fooled by everything. And I'm looking back on it and I'm like, no, I think probably America needs a good revival movement every generation or so.

[Riley Moore]

Well, and the founders knew that, right? So I know we all know this quote, but, but John Adams, right. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people, is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. And, you know, I look at West Virginia and the great things we've been able to do. We have outlawed abortion. You know, there's different weeks out there. We are zero weeks in West Virginia. We are the only state that came in and passed a law that says zero weeks post Dobbs. How did we do that? It was a coalition of evangelicals, Southern Baptists and Catholics all coming together and pushing on this pro life issue. That's so important to me and I'm just so proud of our state to be able to do that. But I think that type of coalition effort, you go back to the old conservative movement the fusionist movement.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Right.

[Riley Moore]

Where you had your war hawks, anti communists, libertarians and social conservatives all coming together to defeat communists, communism.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Right.

[Riley Moore]

I think the. The coalition is going to look different and it's going to look more like what we were able to do here in West Virginia in terms of our Christian Coalition. We put together to pass that law and make West Virginia easily one of the most pro life states in America.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Amen. And I just want to.

[Libby Emmons]

A state constitutional amendment saying no euthanasia ever.

[Riley Moore]

We did. We put that in our state constitution. I worked on that referendum and we put it into our state constitution.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Well, that's why I just want to flag this. I know I talk about Catholicism and a Catholic political movement. I want to evangelize. But obviously, like in the foxhole of politics, when we're fighting that battle. Yes. We have many Protestant allies. They're fantastic. I also think that young evangelicals and young Protestants are way more conservative in their beliefs than older generations are. That's certainly a good thing to see. You love to see people move closer to. To the truth in that way. So, yeah, even though I don't fully agree with them, I think it is really important to work with them. And I think especially on the abortion movement, they've been great allies.

[Riley Moore]

Oh, absolutely.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I should say in the anti abortion movement. Yes.

[Riley Moore]

Anti abortion movement.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah. Any other thoughts before we move to Super Chats?

[Phil Labonte]

Let's go.

[Seamus Coughlin]

All right, let's go over to Super Chats. Shane H. Wilder said the return of Shimcast irl hosted by a man who has never stolen a spoon. Thank you, Seamus. I really appreciate that. He actually said hosted by. Hosted by everyone's favorite favorite spoon thief. But that was not morally accurate. Let's scroll. Sorry, I'm just trying to.

[Phil Labonte]

That's all right. You can make it bigger if you want.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Okay. Topo Enterprise for $10 said that CS Lewis says that we try to justify our hypocrisy because we can't bear the thought that we've done wrong. Notice that the left doesn't try to justify the actions when they pull a total 180. Yeah, yeah. What do you guys think of that?

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, like I said, you know, we. We talked about it a lot. The left doesn't have. They're not hypocrites because for them to be hypocrites, they would actually have to believe one way or the other.

[Nick Sorter]

Yeah.

[Riley Moore]

You can't contradict values you never held.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Exactly that. People who don't believe in anything love to accuse everyone else of Being hypocrites. It's like, constant.

[Phil Labonte]

But again, that's not that they believe you're a hypocrite. It's just about power. It's about if. If I can say this and make this person believe, and then I win the argument and not even make the person believe, make the people watching believe, then I win the argument, and that's all that matters.

[Riley Moore]

Will to power.

[Phil Labonte]

Yep.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Is this the one you're pointing me to? Let's go this way. Okay. Gimbal on do. Sent $5 and said going to talk about the riots in New York streets of terrorists calling for antifa. Did you guys hear about this? I. I saw.

[Libby Emmons]

That was messed up. Yeah, it was very messed up. You had a Harvard graduate wandering around outside of Fox News building saying that they had to, encouraging protesters to chant along with him about going harder and going stronger than they did on the first October 7th. Wow. And the protest was called Flood like Flood New York. And of course, the Hamas massacre was called Al Aqsa Flood. So in what reality are they not calling for a massacre in New York City?

[Seamus Coughlin]

Well, it also sounds like we've already flooded New York with people from other cultures that aren't compatible with ours.

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah, this was a Harvard grad student. And then you also had everybody's favorite Columbia grad, Mahmoud Khalil, up at Columbia University complaining more about how there's not enough jihad or something.

[Nick Sorter]

Why can't we deport this guy again?

[Libby Emmons]

I have no idea. Yeah, I mean, in part because he has extremely powerful lawyers who are funded by deep pocket, not for profits.

[Nick Sorter]

He's not a U.S. citizen.

[Libby Emmons]

No, he's got a green card.

[Nick Sorter]

I don't care what he's got.

[Libby Emmons]

I agree with you.

[Seamus Coughlin]

And that's what this is again. I mean, this stuff is so nuts to me because regardless of whether you fall on, like, the Israel Palestine issue, the idea of calling for another October 7th is insane and disgusting. It's just.

[Libby Emmons]

And calling for it in New York.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, and, like, we get accused of incitement to violence for, like, every single thing we say. If you won't call a man and address a woman, you're accused of inciting violence against.

[Nick Sorter]

The Portland police chief blamed me for being assaulted for filming. He went on TV and said that.

[Libby Emmons]

I mean, the Portland police called Katie a counter protester. Like, have you not. No. She's been publishing work on this every single day since June.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, that's.

[Nick Sorter]

I have a lot to say about that. Those people. But I could take all night doing that.

[Phil Labonte]

Go Right ahead.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, that's.

[Phil Labonte]

They deserve it. They deserve to be excoriated. It's ridiculous that we have to put up with this. You know, the government, the law enforcement is supposed to, you know, uphold the law, not attack journalists or whatever that are. They're covering stories. Ridiculous.

[Libby Emmons]

It is ridiculous.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Buck Bolt 93 says. Don't know if you guys saw, but Pam Bondi's DOJ is ordering to a gun foundation and gun policy hand over a list of their members.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Seamus Coughlin]

What happened to Trump being more two a gun owners won't show in 2026? What is that about?

[Libby Emmons]

Is that the Salt Lake thing?

[Riley Moore]

I hadn't heard that.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, I'm not sure the details. I heard about it, that there was a, a decision. They want a list. List of. I don't know what the, what the gun group they're referring to, but she asked for a list of members.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Was it like John Brown Gun Club or something? Yeah, like that one would make sense to me.

[Libby Emmons]

There was also a. There was also that group in Seattle where the, the, there were like people out at a protest. A bunch of leftists and the leftists. Leftist guards of the protest shot an unarmed civilian.

[Phil Labonte]

Shock.

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah. They thought they were aiming for somebody else and they missed.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah. Let me look. Bondi DOJ denies universal relief and requests gun rights group private membership. What was the gun rights group? That's what I'm curious about. Because if this is like the John Brown Gun Club. That is not the same thing. That's not the same thing. But if it is, if it's like a legitimate gun rights organization, then that's not good. That's seriously not good. And I'll call it out is not good. I just want more information because I feel like we just get a lot of information that isn't complete with these stories and then people run with it. It's like, I want to know.

[Libby Emmons]

There was some concern that the partner of the suspected Charlie Kirk assassin is part of a like queers gun gun group thing. So I wonder if it's part of that.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, that's what I'm. That's why I mentioned the John Brown Gun Club. Like these, these more left wing organizations. Like radical leftist organizations.

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah, or like the Pink, I think it's called called like Pink Pony Gun Club. And it's specifically for trans persons to practice how to use their weapons so that they can fight against anti trans legislation.

[Seamus Coughlin]

That's insane. I mean it's literally just calling for violent insurrection.

[Libby Emmons]

Yes, that's what they're doing.

[Riley Moore]

Fighting against legislation with guns.

[Phil Labonte]

So no, it's, it's, it's terrible apparent. According to Grok Firearms, fpc, Second Amendment foundation and Louisiana Shooting Association. In the lawsuit Reese vs Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms Explosive challenging Louisiana's ban on handgun purchases for adults under 21, the U.S. department of justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a brief requesting a verified list of members from these three gun rights groups who were enrolled as of November 6, 2020. The goal is to limit court relief to only the individual plaintiffs and verified organizational members rather than all affected gun owners. On October 7, 2025, a federal judge in the Western District of Louisiana ordered the groups to provide the list within 21 days. But the Second Amendment foundation has refused, calling it an unconstitutional demand for a gun owner registry and explore and is exploring appeals. I'm a member of FPC right now, so.

[Seamus Coughlin]

So it's. So based on your research, it sounds like they're just going after some regular gun club.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, well FPC is one of the biggest gun rights.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, that's unacceptable. I don't know why they would be doing that.

[Phil Labonte]

Second Amendment. Why should be doing that?

[Seamus Coughlin]

That's really.

[Nick Sorter]

Well, FPC said they're just not going to comply. So that's good. I respect that.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah.

[Nick Sorter]

Never, never provided a list of our members to the government. Never will.

[Seamus Coughlin]

So.

[Nick Sorter]

Okay. Okay, good.

[Phil Labonte]

Part of the, part of the situation, the part, this part where it says the goal is to limit court relief to only the individual plaintiffs and verified organizational members rather than all affected gun owners. I'm not sure the details in this particular one, but there was an. A finding about pistol braces which has already been. Has been since been settled. But there was a injunction that was passed preventing the government when Joe Biden was present when the, when in the Biden administration saying that they. That everyone that was a member of any. Of any of the three other groups that were appealing the decision, if you had a pistol brace, you were covered. And that's exactly why I'm, you know, a member of fpc. So I don't know what the details are, but it seems like they're trying to make sure that it's only people that are that are affiliated with these. With fpc, Second Amendment foundation and Louisiana Shooting association that are covered by the law. Law.

[Riley Moore]

But it's a good flag though. I'm going to take a look at it.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, I mean Louisiana has a ban on hand handgun purchases for adults under 21. I thought that the Supreme Court already ruled on that, that if you're under 21, your, your Second Amendment rights are protected. If you're 18, you can own a handgun. And I, I, I thought they, they decided that but I, obviously I'm, or I'm, I could be wrong, you know. Up.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah, take a look.

[Phil Labonte]

So we'll, we'll look into that or.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Riley Congressman, philosopher king sort of. Oh, sorry, sorry about that. Philosopher king sort of said the wife is in active labor with our first child. She will be raised to respect God and hate critical theory. Psalm 139, 1924. God bless you.

[Riley Moore]

Good for you.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Congratulations. We're very happy for you.

[Phil Labonte]

We love to hear spirit.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Kevin Taylor says it puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the mashed potatoes again. Tomahawk had a beautiful message. Thank you. This is wonderful. He mentioned that he after 12 years has returned to the Catholic Church. That's beautiful, dude. God bless you. Also that he donated to the Twisted Plots campaign and loved the first episode of Twisted Plots. Good luck brother. Thank you, dude. God bless you. Thank you so much for that. We massively appreciate that, that if you guys, we have a special promotion running tonight. If you donate $10, you'll get to watch our 25 minute long pilot. Let's see some other chats here. I. This is interesting. Pineapple water Iran in the 70s. Socialism, Marxism, leftists with Islamists together until Islamists eradicated the left for 45 years. IRGC Islamists still in power.

[Phil Labonte]

It's true the left that thinks the left is so anti America and anti Western they'll align with anyone that's against America and Western values. But if they align with the Islamists, the Islamists are, they're not shy. In case they don't remember what Syria was like or in case you don't remember what it was like after 9 11, there was a lot of videos on the Internet of heads being cut off and, and the like people being burned alive in cages. Cages submerged in, in pools so that people could drown. They, they will not, will not tolerate the left. They will align with them and help them win. And then when the, when, when the Islamists and left win, the Islamists will then look to the left and they will start cutting heads off.

[Libby Emmons]

Well, and a reformed a son who is a man who was a son of one of the Hamas leaders and who left that whole organization said that the left in the United States are just useful idiots.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Libby Emmons]

And Hamas is using them.

[Riley Moore]

No true statement.

[Libby Emmons]

Obviously they are. Yeah, yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

They can't help themselves. They're they because again they don't believe that anyone actually believes anything. No, they can't. They don't have a theory of mind that other cultures are different and believe differently. Like, committed Islamists are committed Islamists. They really believe what they say. It's not just talk, talk. It's not at all just a, it's not a pose at all. You look at, I forget who it was, but they're the, the uae and they talk about how they got rid of the Muslim Brotherhood. Like, and they talk about how foolish the west is for allowing people that agree with the Muslim Brotherhood. They're like, they literally say things. You can, you can just Google it on YouTube and you'll see, you know, people that are, are in, in the UAE government, they're like, you people are fools.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

Why? We as Muslims, as Arab Muslims, we, we don't have these problems because we don't tolerate it. You people are completely foolish to allow these people into your country and to behave the way they do. The reason they don't do that in our countries is because we don't let them. And like people that think that the Middle east and people in the Middle east are just like Westerners. And this is something that Barack Obama said too, and it was a terrible, terrible thing that he did. He said, look, these people that are in the Middle east and this is when the Syrian civil war is going, they just need jobs. This is economic.

[Riley Moore]

It's economic. Yeah.

[Seamus Coughlin]

No, you see someone, you see someone, like, you see someone killing civilians and you go get a job. Because these people, that's not why they're doing.

[Phil Labonte]

People are naive. They think that everyone else thinks, like Westerners, cultures are different. If you, if you're talking about cultures where it is acceptable to kill homosexuals because they're homosexual or to, to, to cut people's head, cut people's hands off because they're thieves. Right. Like, whether or not you believe that actually is cruel and unusual. The point that I'm making is these people see the world very differently to the left. And the left are allowing them to infiltrate their ranks. And if the left wins and actually wins the culture war, they're going to lose against the Islamists. Yeah.

[Seamus Coughlin]

But then it's worth it to them because they just want Christians to die in their hearts.

[Riley Moore]

No, the left is just useful idiots. Yeah, the left, they're malleable.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I'm not saying every individual leftist wants that, but I'm saying, like, that is how leftism operates in history.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Seamus Coughlin]

And like a lot of the true believers, that is really what they want. But it's funny you mentioned they don't have theory of mind and they, I agree with you. But then. And they don't believe other people believe things. But like, they do believe you believe in white supremacy. Like, they're like, no one thinks differently for me. But you're a white supremacist.

[Phil Labonte]

No, that's an, that's a.

[Seamus Coughlin]

You don't think. I think that is a way to add.

[Phil Labonte]

No, that is a way to access power.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I think they believe it.

[Phil Labonte]

They don't know. They don't.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I think they do think you're racist. I 100% think they think you're racist.

[Phil Labonte]

I don't, I don't think it matters like, to them really, because they, they say racist things all the time.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I know, but they don't see that it's racist when they say it because they don't have the institutional power or they're not fighting on the side of the institutions.

[Phil Labonte]

They don't think it's racist because they don't believe in racism.

[Libby Emmons]

They don't believe in anything.

[Phil Labonte]

They're all. But the, the point, the point that.

[Libby Emmons]

I'm making is the oppression, victim, hierarchy.

[Phil Labonte]

Yes, they do believe in that overthrow.

[Libby Emmons]

Of the United States.

[Phil Labonte]

Yes, but that's why they. But the reason God is dead. They don't believe. Believe that like, they believe that like Larry Elder is the black face of white supremacy. Do you like the, the arg. They will say that black people can't be racist, but then they'll. But then they'll also say that Larry Elder is racist. So it's not that they believe you're racist. It doesn't matter what they say they believe. It's all about power. It's only about accessing power.

[Riley Moore]

Well, do you want to circle just real quick? Yeah, go just to. Because we're talking about Islamist extreme in Nigeria. They did just pass a law recently that blasphemy is punishable by death. You get the death penalty for that.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Part of the reason I say that we can say they do believe that Christians should be hurt. They want Christians to be hurt because you're right. They play language games. But when you look at their actions and when you look at the actions of the left, historically, that's what they've done. Everywhere they've come to power, they've slaughtered Christians.

[Phil Labonte]

But the reason they slaughter Christians is because Christianity gives you a foundation of belief. Christianity gives you a right and wrong. It gives you a way to judge them.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I think we.

[Phil Labonte]

Yes, that's why they hate Christianity. And I'M not saying they don't know.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I see it differently. I think so. There's two main theories. There's one theory that, like, they want to destroy the family and they want to destroy Christianity because those things are standing in the way of socialism. I believe that, like, the actual entire purpose of socialism is they do want to destroy Christianity. They do want to destroy the family. I think that's the center of the bullet bullseye for them.

[Phil Labonte]

They do because. But it's not. But they do that because it stands in the way of their revolution. It is.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I think it's the point of the. That's where we disagree is, like, I think it's the point of revolution. I think even if they didn't have a revolution, they would still want to do that.

[Riley Moore]

Now, for the Islamists, I think the.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Revolution is an excuse.

[Riley Moore]

That's my point. The Islamists, they align themselves with the left, and obviously they wouldn't align with us. But they know that the right, specifically the Christian right, we're not malleable.

[Seamus Coughlin]

That's true.

[Riley Moore]

We have values, we have principles. We believe in God. There's nothing above got. They're just the opposite evil coin of that, Right?

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yep.

[Riley Moore]

And so for us, we are a threat in their mind. And so that's why it's alignment of convenience. Right. In between the left and the. And the Islamist extremists that are out there.

[Seamus Coughlin]

No name. Farmer said, seamus, make a video where Sorter's camera magically causes riots whenever turned on. And that's when the cops arrest him for disorderly conduct. Dude, that's hilarious. That's hilarious. It is your fault. You did cause that riot by filming it.

[Nick Sorter]

Yeah, exactly.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Schrodinger's riot.

[Riley Moore]

Filming his violence film.

[Seamus Coughlin]

By filming it, change. It's a quantum riot. By. By observing it, you change the outcome.

[Libby Emmons]

That's good.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Oh, my gosh. Should I read that one?

[Nick Sorter]

You say it and we're laughing about.

[Seamus Coughlin]

It, but this is what the police chief. And this is Jaeger Faust, 83, says, from from the fence to the tree, Hassan's dog will be free.

[Libby Emmons]

That was brutal.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Oh, my gosh. We may or may be working on a cartoon relevant to that.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, I can't wait.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Okay, then we have. Man, I'm gonna embarrass my. No, no, I don't want to read that. Yeah. Oh, my gosh, that's beautiful. All right. Timothy Brock said, the wife and I are having our sixth and final child in January. In light of recent events, we've decided to name him Charlie. Man, well, God bless you.

[Phil Labonte]

Awesome to hear.

[Seamus Coughlin]

God bless. God has blessed you with children and God bless you for welcoming all that life into the world.

[Libby Emmons]

So wonderful.

[Seamus Coughlin]

God bless you. God bless you, Poppins. Patches video says my wife is a pretty MAGA pediatrician. RFK is driving her nuts. The lack of citing the studies he's talking about or the studies he cited. Don't say his claims. Now I send her articles to work her up. That's like a, like a, like a good husband. You gotta get her upset every now and again. You know, it's funny because, listen, I know doctors who are concerned. I know one doctor in particular who's more conservative, like kind of libertarian conservative. And he sort of likes rfk. But he'll say things like that too. That's why, again, my whole point is I don't think we should treat it as so wild that RFK is asking questions about autism. Like you mentioned earlier, I don't think it's so nuts that he has questions about various interventions. But I've heard that from. For medical professionals, including some conservative ones. Let me, let me. No, no, no, no. So. Oh, this. Sorry, miss for Missy said or miz for Missy Said. These people cheered for forcing people to stay in their homes, get vaccines and wear masks. They either have no idea what authoritarian means or are just horrifically ignorant. Absolutely, absolutely. This is. Oh sure. Sorry, we moved to another tab here. Here, can you let me. Sorry. No, no. Dilly 442 says Islam is using the left to take over America. That's. I think we all agree with that. Like you mentioned, their beliefs are so malleable. So if what you were trying to do was find a fault within a system to exploit it so that you could change it, that's what you would do. I mean, that's who you would basically go after. You would try to become. Become part of some left wing political coalition. Oh, this is. Okay. The deep friar says. Hey, prayer cast IRL. I humbly ask you all pray tomorrow between 7 and 8pm CDT for a pastor friend who has stage 4 cancer.

[Libby Emmons]

Oh my goodness.

[Seamus Coughlin]

And has been suffering. He's young with five young children. God heals. Please pray for this man. Please pray for this man and his family. Oh, that's horrible. And his. His poor wife. That's horrible. Pray, Pray Bait. Caster says tell him Phil Zoomers will change the union. It's going to be interesting to see what the. I mean interesting by which I mean horrifying to see what the declining birth rate does to politics. Obviously there's like, if we're importing foreigners to try to make up for that.

[Phil Labonte]

But it only makes it worse.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Riley Moore]

Not on my watch.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, amen. But then you go, but then how do we. There's a question, like, how do we get people. How do we get legacy Americans, heritage Americans, to start having large enough families again to meet replacement? Because it's not even just the case. That's like, oh, we used to have. We. Everyone is having six kids, and now everyone's having three kids. It's like, we're not even at Republic replacement anymore.

[Phil Labonte]

No, no.

[Libby Emmons]

We used to be 2.5. Like, the joke was, you know, married couples, white picket fence, and 2.5 kids. And that was sort of like, oh, doofus jokers. And now nobody has. You know, people are not having 2.5 kids.

[Riley Moore]

Hot take.

[Nick Sorter]

That's going to get me in trouble. In the comments section, young people are replacing children with dogs. I'm telling you.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Oh, my gosh. Dude, I. All right, so I wanted to mention this. We were talking about the Hassan thing.

[Libby Emmons]

My family.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah, yeah. I wanted to mention this when we were talking about the Hassan thing, because he has this dog sitting behind him, and it's sort of a prop there, and when it moves, he got mad. Okay, this is the per. And I love dogs. I love animals. But I think what happens with certain people is because an animal can't speak to you, it is easier to project your personality onto it. And therefore, that is why a lot of very selfish people are, like, very obsessed with animals. I'm not saying it's. You're selfish if you're obsessed with animals. I really love dogs, but I am saying there's a certain kind of person who's like, I love my dog out. And it's like, no, you don't. You just project your ego onto it. And that's why when, like, the dog gets up in the middle of a stream, you freak out and. And hurt it because, like, you don't actually love it. You see it as a tool to bolster your own ego.

[Libby Emmons]

People need somewhere to put their love. Love. And so they put it all on their dogs or their dumb cat.

[Seamus Coughlin]

And I feel.

[Nick Sorter]

I feel, like, a little bit bad for these people that constantly are posting photos of their dogs like they are children.

[Seamus Coughlin]

I'm not saying people who, like, push.

[Libby Emmons]

Their dogs or their cats in strollers.

[Riley Moore]

Yes. What is up with that going on?

[Seamus Coughlin]

I just want.

[Libby Emmons]

I will say that I have a leash and harness for my cat, but that's only so That I can let her sit on the porch and that's a leash.

[Seamus Coughlin]

That's different. But I want to make clear, too, I'm talking about a very specific kind of person. I'm not saying everyone who has pets or like everyone who was infertile and couldn't have kids and got pets or something is that kind of person. And I agree with you. I do feel bad for a lot of these people when they post this stuff.

[Riley Moore]

JD Hit the nail on the head. Cat ladies.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Yeah. It's sad. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Libby Emmons]

That's why everyone's. All the lefties. All the lefty Swifties are so mad at Taylor Swift for getting married.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Libby Emmons]

She's going to be leaving their rank.

[Phil Labonte]

Have you read the.

[Riley Moore]

The.

[Phil Labonte]

Some of the. Or have you seen the tik toks about reading her lyrics and being like, oh, my God, she's. She's on the alt right pipeline now.

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Wait, who?

[Phil Labonte]

Taylor Swift?

[Libby Emmons]

Charlie Kirk got slammed for being like Taylor. Submit to your husband.

[Phil Labonte]

So before the. Before the. The super bowl last year. Oh, it's time to go. I'm not gonna get into it. Anyways, we can. We can get.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Are we gonna read this one more? Yeah, we're gonna read. We're gonna be. One more chat from Sherry Sugary. I'm so sorry, I'm having trouble with that last name. Cherry Shagree says service members space out their bills because the government makes them get paid on the 1st and the 15th. I have never seen them not pay the military in my 20 years of service during a shutdown. What can we do to help them pass a bill?

[Phil Labonte]

Nothing.

[Riley Moore]

Get Democrats to vote for it in the Senate. It's already passed in the House. We have passed the bill in the House. Get the Democrats to vote for it in the Senate.

[Nick Sorter]

Well, the actual question is, real quick, sorry, is can there be a standalone bill just for that?

[Riley Moore]

You can do anything.

[Seamus Coughlin]

Sure.

[Riley Moore]

But we have passed a bill to fund the military in the House. They just got to vote for it in the Senate.

[Seamus Coughlin]

All right, so I taped a little pre segment here for all the subscribers. So obviously hit the subscribe button if you'd like to see a congressman do a kick flip. I actually did one. I was out here skating the park right before it. I think I'm the number one rated skateboarder in Congress and I don't think anyone can take that title from.

[Nick Sorter]

Buret would have something to say about it.

[Riley Moore]

Yeah, yeah, I, I've seen him. I haven't seen him do a kickflip though. I haven't seen him do a kickflip. I've seen him see him ride on a board. Riley moore for wv on all handles West Virginia, 2nd congressional district. Thanks for having me on again.

All right, Nick Sorter. Mostly just on X at Nick Sorter because most of the other platforms are degenerate hell holes give me brain damage. So I stick to X for the most part because they also don't ban me. And I will be seeing you in Chicago soon. You know people in Chicago, just keep that in mind. There's a lot of rock there. Like some of the. Some people argue that the ice riots there are worse than Portland. So guess we're going to find out.
