Stop the Steal

2020 election.

There's relevance here, okay? Right after the election, and I know this because I was a candidate at the time, and I was ahead in the polls after closing, and then there were the absentee ballot drama, right? So a very strong political campaign started for fundraising because we were going to need it for legal procedures and whatnot, which was called the Stop the Steal.

The FCC at the time said, So in conjunction with and this was Trump's FCC, by the way, commissioner at the time, in conjunction with the network carriers, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon and AT&T at the time, all after like a couple of weeks started blocking any text message that contained any kind of, quote, election denialism, including stop the steal.

Yeah.

So any vendor trying to push that out got canceled or their taxes were not sent through.

your license will be on the line? So the FCC at the time...

Again, remember, Trump's FCC commissioner put out the directive that they could not communicate misinformation or campaign denialism or whatever.

Wasn't it also that they said the phrase stop the steal was violent?

His history of having a marijuana charge, then voting against marijuana reform in 2022.

He was at the Stop the Steal rally, reportedly.

I mean, I could go on and on and on, but this is... part of the grift, and some people are elevated.

Some people crash out like Herschel Walker.

These guys are fighting like crazy.

I think Fuentes just dropped yesterday that this guy called Ali Alexander, who was the leader of the Stop the Steal movement... is like a pedophile or something and that Milo Yiannopoulos was defending him.

And I think Milo Yiannopoulos, a few days ago, was trying to drop things proving that people are pedophiles.

It's so much crazier than fighting.

How did that day unfold? Did you feel early on that something bad was going to go down, or did it seem like a really big protest or a really big rally?

No, I thought that the chaos was going to unfold around dark, as it had with the previous two Stop the Steals in November, Stop the Steal rallies in November and December, when the protesters all start to filter out and they engage with counter-protesters throughout the city.

So I was actually back in Georgetown, Washington, streaming Trump's speech because I knew there was going to be no internet down there.

I was the video director at the Daily Caller at the time.

I already wrote a book about the BLM protests and riots.

And now I'm writing one about January 6th and November.

uh the election leading up to it all the stop the steals and so i've been doing a lot of digging specifically into people like ray apps i've been talking to a lot of my friends who are and sources who are you know feds and uh just about specifically who was in there and i've been doing research as as to who was not arrested ray apps was arrested but only on a misdemeanor so they threw a book the book at a lot of these people and i'm working on identifying specific individuals who They got off easy, so to speak, and then we can track down exactly who they were.

Do you

So there's a point at which extra money doesn't matter, but the, the challenge is the differential.

So, you know, in, in my state, th- there's two billionaire families, Dick and Liz Uihlein, who are the biggest funders of January 6th, the Stop the Steal protests, and Diane Hendricks, who's this kind of construction, uh, supply magnate.

Yeah.

They've poured $51 million-

Like, I feel, like, my heart race when she's on screen, and I don't know if it's because she is confirmed MAGA.

She has donated to the Stop the Steal donation during the, uh, January 6th riots.

Um, and she has very much Karen energy.

She came in hot- Yeah ...

You ever heard of this guy? No, I don't think so.

I remember the first time I heard about Rothbard was this like weed smoking guy at the Stop the Steal rally who was just like ranting about it and telling me, you know, this guy on my T-shirt, his name is like Murray Rothbard because I was asking him about it.

And he was so

excited to tell me about this.

...

COVID misinformation, and Stop the Steal.

And Alex Jones-

You know, one of the things-
