  31. 1:42eight days before christmas i started a
  32. 1:45gofundme
  33. 1:50campaign because i was tired of watching
  34. 1:51the us government's inability to secure
  35. 1:53our border
  36. 1:54like most americans i see the poorest
  37. 1:56southern border as a national
  38. 1:57security threat the plan of action was
  39. 1:58simple and straightforward to raise
  40. 2:00money to construct a wall on our
  41. 2:02southern
  42. 2:02border
  43. 2:06what do you guys think my hair looks

  50. 2:22having my good hair
  51. 2:27i immediately sought out and consulted
  52. 2:28with some of our country's leading
  53. 2:30professionals blah blah blah the federal
  54. 2:32government won't be able to accept the
  55. 2:33donations anytime
  56. 2:35soon we are better equipped than our
  57. 2:37government to use
  58. 2:38the donated funds and it sounds like
  59. 2:41they want to
  60. 2:42build their own wall
  61. 2:45here here's who they have on their board
  62. 2:47they have eric prince
  63. 2:49chris korbach
  64. 2:52sheriff clark sarah carter
  65. 2:56tom tancredo i don't know who he is
  66. 2:59angel dad steve ronabek
  67. 3:00media consultant jennifer lawrence and
  68. 3:02many others
  69. 3:04so they are taking action they want
  70. 3:05sounds like they want to build their own
  71. 3:06wall all right i'm just reading this in
  72. 3:08real time by the way
  73. 3:09so if you're wondering what i'm doing
  74. 3:11i'm reading it in real time
  75. 3:12so let i think i have it figured out by
  76. 3:14the way that's what i do i read things
  77. 3:15in real time so i think i haven't
  78. 3:16figured out
  79. 3:17a gofundme was started to raise a
  80. 3:19billion dollars to the wall as we all
  81. 3:21know
  82. 3:22it was a blockbuster viral success they
  83. 3:24raised
  84. 3:2520 million dollars 330 000 donors
  85. 3:30now because they believe they can't give
  86. 3:32the government
  87. 3:34the money they're now starting their own
  88. 3:36501 c
  89. 3:374 which is uh it's not a non-profit per
  90. 3:40se
  91. 3:41there's a special term for first that
  92. 3:43slips in my mind right now
  93. 3:44they're allowed to do issue advocacy
  94. 3:47but not political advocacy so you can
  95. 3:50argue for a wall but you can't
  96. 3:52argue or more than 50 percent of your
  97. 3:54business can't be to argue for
  98. 3:56campaigns they're starting a c4
  99. 4:01but now gofundme is saying now the
  100. 4:04gofundme is saying there's a problem
  101. 4:07now gofundme is saying there's a problem
  102. 4:09and they're saying that
  103. 4:11he didn't keep his promises they're
  104. 4:13going to refund all the money
  105. 4:15so the question is where is the money
  106. 4:17going to go now that
  107. 4:19he is not
  108. 4:22then not the go phone is shut down so
  109. 4:24now now we're in the controversial
  110. 4:26roller
  111. 4:26and we need to interview this guy we
  112. 4:28need to interview
  113. 4:29we need to interview brian and find out
  114. 4:31what exactly is going on
  115. 4:33he's an honorable guy but it seems to me
  116. 4:35i don't think there's a
  117. 4:37a big issue but
  118. 4:40we need to you know we need to interview
  119. 4:41them we definitely
  120. 4:43we definitely need to interview them so
  121. 4:47gofundme is saying that
  122. 4:51so it's confusing if a donor does not
  123. 4:53want a refund they must proactively
  124. 4:54elect to redirect the door or
  125. 4:56donation that organizes okay gofundme is
  126. 4:58going to refund everybody's money
  127. 5:00unless the person says give it to the
  128. 5:02new organization
  129. 5:03the new organization has sheriff clarke
  130. 5:06sarah carter
  131. 5:07eric prince chris korbach and a bunch of
  132. 5:09other people on it
  133. 5:11makes total sense now actually makes
  134. 5:13total sense what is going on
  135. 5:14so the gofundme is more or less over
  136. 5:18for all practical purposes the gofundme
  137. 5:20is over
  138. 5:22but they're going to transfer it to a
  139. 5:24new organization
  140. 5:26oh now they're saying they're
  141. 5:27automatically refunding the 20 minutes
  142. 5:28so we're we're in confusion people
  143. 5:32we're in confusion people all right we
  144. 5:34need to interview brian
  145. 5:36um and find out what the heck is going
  146. 5:37on so a few questions about the gofundme
  147. 5:40thing
  148. 5:41and we need that we need to we need to
  149. 5:43interview brian and we just we need to
  150. 5:44find out what is what is going on here
  151. 5:46so according to brian
  152. 5:48according to brian the money will
  153. 5:52transfer to the new organization within
  154. 5:5490 days
  155. 5:55but now they're saying
  156. 5:58that they're going to automatically
  157. 5:59refund the money so nobody knows man
  158. 6:04so nobody nobody knows what is going on
  159. 6:07so brian is saying the money will go
  160. 6:10forward to
  161. 6:12somewhere else but gofundme is saying
  162. 6:15that they're just going to refund
  163. 6:16the money but they're also saying if the
  164. 6:18donor does not want to refund the pro
  165. 6:19they must proactively elect to redirect
  166. 6:21the donation of that organization this
  167. 6:23is confusing people
  168. 6:25if you're if you're confused if you're
  169. 6:28confused
  170. 6:29you're no different than me because i'm
  171. 6:31confused
  172. 6:32i don't know i don't know what the heck
  173. 6:34is happening um
  174. 6:37i don't i don't know what that is
  175. 6:38happening so we're gonna have to
  176. 6:39interview brian maybe we can get an
  177. 6:40interview here with brian
  178. 6:44and find out um and find out what is
  179. 6:47what is going on yeah so we need to find
  180. 6:49out what is going on from
  181. 6:50brian because we um you know we don't
  182. 6:54know that's fine i'm sure
  183. 6:55i'm sure we'll figure it out all right
  184. 6:58i'm getting
  185. 6:59um one person texts me all funds
  186. 7:02contributes
  187. 7:02from this point on does not need to opt
  188. 7:06in but you do need to opt in okay i
  189. 7:09think we have it figured out
  190. 7:11okay a source tells me
  191. 7:17previous donors to the build the wall
  192. 7:20go fund me must
  193. 7:24opt in to have their contribution
  194. 7:28transfer transfer
  195. 7:32to brian
  196. 7:36colfage's new organization
  197. 7:41which has eric prince
  198. 7:45chris korbach
  199. 7:49and sarah carter among
  200. 7:52others on the board
  201. 7:55all right so i think we're getting
  202. 7:57answers this is developing a story
  203. 8:00and by the way this really does show why
  204. 8:03if you're in brian needs to get on you
  205. 8:06know
  206. 8:07brian needs to get on and find out what
  207. 8:10exactly
  208. 8:11the heck is going on
  209. 8:15because people are gonna
  210. 8:18you know start narrative form right now
  211. 8:20brian is what i call the narrative
  212. 8:22formation
  213. 8:23aspect of the story
  214. 8:27narratives are forming people are going
  215. 8:29to call it a scam people are going to
  216. 8:30call this people are going to call it
  217. 8:32that
  218. 8:32and you have to get online right away
  219. 8:35before this narrative forms
  220. 8:36once the narrative forms you can't you
  221. 8:39you can't break free from it
  222. 8:40i call it it's a lot like if somebody
  223. 8:42throws a bunch of cement on you
  224. 8:44if you're thrown into a cement pile
  225. 8:47you got to keep moving you got to shake
  226. 8:48off the cement and if you shake it off
  227. 8:51you'll be fine but the minute you let it
  228. 8:52solidify that's it
  229. 8:54that's how media narratives work
  230. 8:57this right now there's a media narrative
  231. 8:59forming that there's something shitty
  232. 9:01going on here that there's something
  233. 9:03untoward going on here that narrative is
  234. 9:05forming in real time
  235. 9:06and brian has to get ahead of all of
  236. 9:10this
  237. 9:13all of oh he has to get ahead of this
  238. 9:15man
  239. 9:17that that there's just no other way to

  258. 9:58cernovich cer in ovich we're providing
  259. 10:00an update on
  260. 10:01the build the wall fund gofundme there's
  261. 10:03a big media narrative forming
  262. 10:05not a lot of people know what's going on
  263. 10:07i'm tapping into my source network to
  264. 10:08try to figure out
  265. 10:10what is happening i think i have it
  266. 10:11figured out now
  267. 10:14there was a gofundme the gofundme raised
  268. 10:16over 20 million dollars
  269. 10:17330 000 backers and it was a major major
  270. 10:21blockbuster viral success
  271. 10:23there was some discussion in congress
  272. 10:26about
  273. 10:26getting the funds transferred over
  274. 10:30and then it looks like that isn't going
  275. 10:31to happen or can't happen so what brian
  276. 10:34has done
  277. 10:35according to the most recent press
  278. 10:37release is he started a c4
  279. 10:40and he has chris korbach angel mom
  280. 10:43marianne mendoza
  281. 10:45sarah carter eric prince and a number of
  282. 10:47other people on the board
  283. 10:49they want to take the money and build
  284. 10:50the wall privately they want to
  285. 10:52they want to provide a private sector
  286. 10:56solution to the wall so it seems
  287. 10:59right so a lot of people are going what
  288. 11:01i don't know man
  289. 11:02i'm figuring out myself too in real time
  290. 11:04and brian
  291. 11:05definitely needs to get maybe we'll try
  292. 11:08to interview him later today he
  293. 11:10definitely needs to get on
  294. 11:11the pipeline and figure it out so it
  295. 11:13seems like this is going to happen where
  296. 11:14what's going to happen to 20 million
  297. 11:17this is what i've concluded
  298. 11:18the 20 million dollars will be refunded
  299. 11:21to donors
  300. 11:22unless they affirmatively say i want the
  301. 11:25money to go
  302. 11:26to the new organization if they say
  303. 11:29affirmatively i want the money to go the
  304. 11:31new organization
  305. 11:33then the money will go the new
  306. 11:34organization if they say
  307. 11:37nothing then they'll be refunded
  308. 11:40and then this new organization will
  309. 11:42start raising funds
  310. 11:43with this new board
  311. 11:46i got an email says mike brian has kept
  312. 11:49donors updated
  313. 11:50we received an email to make a choice
  314. 11:52another p so
  315. 11:53people here have backed okay so i will
  316. 11:55be reading your comments in real time
  317. 11:57have you backed the build-a-wall thing
  318. 11:59and if so what are you hearing
  319. 12:01from people because i personally did not
  320. 12:03back it because that would be
  321. 12:05uh journalistic ethics violation for me
  322. 12:07to to financially support something that
  323. 12:09i'm
  324. 12:10reporting on so what what's happening is
  325. 12:14it seems like donors
  326. 12:15know what is going on but on the other
  327. 12:18hand
  328. 12:20there's a media narrative forming that
  329. 12:22cast brian in a bad
  330. 12:24light so what what i'm interested in
  331. 12:26doing and what interests me
  332. 12:28yeah somebody says is it still up you're
  333. 12:29so confused yes confusing there's
  334. 12:32right now there's chaos and during chaos
  335. 12:35narratives form
  336. 12:36and that is why we need to get brian on
  337. 12:39the show or we need to interview brian
  338. 12:41and find out what exactly is going on
  339. 12:44here
  340. 12:45how's it going to work what is the
  341. 12:47logistics of it
  342. 12:49do people who backed it do they get
  343. 12:51their money back my understanding is
  344. 12:53that you you're going to be refunded
  345. 12:54unless you say i want my money to go in
  346. 12:55the new organization
  347. 12:56logistically i don't know how gofundme
  348. 12:58is going to handle 330 000 people
