  1. Fair play to this former spokesman for the Oath Keepers for speaking so candidly..He really must watch his back after this. Rhodes will send hitmen after mr Van Tatenhove..

  2. Earth to commiecrats…..we're still voting for him. Best president in history.

  3. He has been trained upon how to respond; NOT instructed upon how to DRESS???
    So weird, with the jean-jacket and T-shirt, with something written upon it…
    People must be crazy!
    This is a very strange display…
    Nobody (even) near me would go to (even) TRAFFIC court, dressed in this manner!!!
    Yet he goes upon this COURT, dressed in a jean-jacket?
    With pins and a T-shirt? With something written upon it???
    That's…just. Weird!!!
    You DO NOT represent ME, YO!!!
    Whatever politics.
    Ya' DON'T…
    (Edited to correct errors).

  4. I met Stuart Rhodes at an event on Lexington Green in Lexington Massachusetts back around 2010. Lexington Green is where the first battle of the American Revolution was fought. One thing we did there was to retake our oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic". I had taken that oath myself when I joined the US military and repeating it on Lexington Green was a very emotional experience. At that time my impression was that the Oath Keepers were people who were concerned that the United States was moving away from its traditional values and founding principles and that the US Constitution was being eroded. And to be frank I myself still feel that way. However, at that time they did not come across as unusually extreme or potentially violent. But now its 12 years later and it appears that many things may have changed.

  5. This country has yet to change since the mass murders, rapes, tortures, theft, diseases and lies to many millions of Native People who were living their lives just fine till white christians (lowercase purposely). So sick of hearing this country was built on this and that. It was built on all of the above horrific events. Who are these preachers that because they read from an fictious book live in luxury while children and animals die slow painful deaths of starvation, abuse and neglect? Why keep making them richer and richer? Doesn't your Loving god say to give up your wealth to the needy and follow him?

  6. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are about 95% Feds

  7. Trump lied and used his supporters. Can u imagine how angry his supporters are now

  8. 865 Trump supporters have been charged in the Capitol insurrection so far with many pleading guilty to seditious conspiracy.

  9. American people: “We want inflation and the economy to be fixed!”

    Democrats: “Best we can do is put all our time and energy on Jan 6.”

  10. FBI asset testifies..ok got it.

  11. Why does an actor dressed something insulted, it look nothing like a supporter

  12. It increasingly appears that we now know how rogue elements of federal agencies pulled off the January 6 Fedsurrection. If the Ray Epps Breach Team hypothesis is correct, a group of government-sponsored provocateurs were all instructed separately by handlers to arrive at the Peace Monument before 12:45 p.m., where they front-ran the arrival of the Proud Boys, who would serve as the scapegoat for the breach. Then, post-breach, key operators such as Epps and ScaffoldCommander directed the crowd to “move forward,” while others removed barricades, fencing and signage…

  13. Democrat Party Circus Sideshow based on propaganda, feelings, emotions, hearsay, lies, opinions, speculation and NOT one fact.

  14. Promise keepers are great men as these I. This committee continue to destroy your children with LIES LIES . Only insurrection against humanity and United States of America which is the Fraud Election Planndemic used to steal election and deceive all of you watching this garb!

  15. Oath Keepers wants Theocracy and Dictatorship. What's wrong with that? Trump 2024!

  16. All of that is widely known

  17. TRUMP4PRISON

  18. I appreciate you and your content < Technical Analysis is good but I find It truly baffling that major crypto youtubers just look mostly at pure T.A and completely ignore the bigger narrative of why BTC is pumps/pumped and why the future outlook will be even rosier than it seems. It's kinda irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch so far has caused a major dump at the peaks of BTC. We were already on shaky footing with historically low volume and almost pure whale pumps,narrowly avoiding a long-term bear market. More emphasis should be put into day trading as it is less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market. I have made over 12BTC from day tradng with Richard Byrne insights and charts.His been one step ahead of other analysis

  19. Repent Matthew chapter 24 Bible prophecies fulfilling repent vain is the help of man repent Jesus christ is our soon coming king repent isiah chapter 9:6:7

They are supported on the internet and radical alt-right channels like Fox News. There needs to be super strict gun laws because these terrorists are everywhere out there!

  27. there are true americans that would take their hunting rifles an terminate this threat

  28. An Individal of a operation northwoods event..

  29. Trump supporters and groups such as Proud boys can dress up and present
    themselves in anyway that floats their boat because in the final analysis we
    all know, they're just cheap, tinhorn, old fashioned Nazis.

  30. Wake me up when someone gets arrested. This is information that everyone knows already.

  33. 🤣😅😂😅MAGA 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  34. these Traitors should have been led in, and led away in Handcuffs.

    As for their Friends, put them Drones in the sky and get to work.

  36. The sound of someone that took a plea deal to evade a sentence.. or he's a Fed and he's serving up Psyop Soup.

  37. There is a pre-election video on Mother Jones that is audio of Steve Bannon. It isn't a bombshell, it's a nuke!!! If the committee doesn't know about it, they should.

  38. Without question the biggest threat to our country is the infestation of woke, radical Marxists into all levels of our government and institutions. From public education, to the FBI, to the military, to higher education. With the help of the media they are creating chaos with their divisive policies and deliberately destroying middle class America.
