• 1:17:50A moral system deserves to be burned down, but burning individual buildings owned by, say, an Indian woman helps nothing.
• 1:18:04DHS agents grab people off the street weeks later—does anyone realize high school kids from Portland can't actually stand against state power?
• 1:18:43Groups intimidating people and forcing them to say 'Black Lives Matter' under threat of violence—why is the media defending and egging this on?
• 1:19:11The McCloskeys walked out on their own porch with weapons while people passed by, yet the media portrays them as terrorists and cheers when their guns are confiscated.
• 1:19:49Tim questions whether people believe those in the street will always have their back, or that institutions and government will defend them.
• 1:20:15No institution in America—government, media, police—actually cares about you or your rights; they're all fighting larger ideological wars.
• 1:21:13Everyone will let you die to make a point: cops to prove rising crime, street mobs to justify violence, government because that's what it does, media by doxxing and spreading false narratives.
