so apparently if your own family decides to disown you and not recognize you as a governor that says a lot about who you are as a person but also it it says a lot when they are going to support your political enemy in this upcoming election your Nemesis Donald Trump is getting the support of Tim Walls F Tim walls' um estranged family um I wanted to also talk about um yesterday Tucker Carlson had had a podcast with with a interview with darl Cooper who is a historian who kind of broke the internet briefly talking about um World War II and Church Hill and then they were kind of claiming that he was a uh he was a Hitler sympathizer essentially um and a they say he's a holocaust revisionist now so wanted to talk about that briefly um I wanted to talk about uh the Republican Party in the state of it as you saw that um Senator John former Senator John McCain former Presidential nominee his son is now supporting K Harris because he is a because Trump allegedly used Arlington Cemetery as a backdrop for a uh for his campaign and then um I think that's what I I had down for now I have something else written here that I cannot read let me just check what I got pulled up here on the on the thing so yeah I think that's pretty much it um I wanted to kind of cover uh the internet archive story if you're not familiar with what happened there just a brief thing but so here you have it um Tim Walls own brother Jeff walls came out recently saying that if you knew what he knew about his brother you would not support him for president he has no business running anything were the exact words of this guy's own brother several family members of Minnesota Governor Tim Walls the Democrat party's Vice Presidential nominee have come out in support of Republican Presidential nominee former president Donald Trump a photo shared by Charles herbster a former Republican gubernatorial candidate for Nebraska showed several people wearing blue shirts with the words Nebraska walls is for Trump the people in the photo wearing shirts supporting Trump are related to walls on his grandfather's side grandfather's brother's side representative confirmed in the Daily Mail there's the picture says Nebraska walls is for Trump former president Donald Trump responded to the photo and TR in true social post by thanking Jeff walls the brother of the Minnesota Governor thank you very much Jeff Trump wrote in a post it's a great honor to have your endorsement I look forward to meeting you soon soon the photo of the Walls family supporting Trump comes after walls his brother described him as not the type of character you want making decisions about your future and added that he opposed his brother's ideology in a Facebook post for March 2023 Jeff walls responded to several comments from the PE from people we've just become a third world Banana Republic wall said in the post one of the people encouraged walls to have a talk with his brother to which walls revealed that he had not spoken to him in 8 years haven't spoken to him in 8 years Jeff walls wrote in a comment I'm opposed to all his ideology my family wasn't given notice that he was selected and denied security the days after so they did not give him a security detail give the family security um denied actually another person encouraged walls to help Maga and get to on stage with President Trump and endorse him I thought hard about doing that he said I'm torn between that and just keeping my family out of it the stories I could tell not the type of character you want making decisions about your future Tim Walls is three siblings Sandy Dietrich Jeff walls and Craig walls Dietrick is reported in Nebraska while Jeff walls lives in Florida Craig walls died in June 2016 while ing at Duncan Lake after a powerful storm rolled through the Boundary Waters canoe area in Cook County leading to a tree falling on his campsite according to K 11 news so they reached out to uh Jeff walls for statement he did not respond so um Tim Walls is somebody you get a read on you can sense that there's something about him a sort of a Uh something's off he probably just I mean as many politicians are he's probably not the um the greatest person in private let's just say say uh he seems like somebody who has I don't know like pent up anger issues he just one of those type of people you could just get get a read right and he's the kind of guy who um I believe you know he probably grew up in like a conservative small town in Nebraska went off to college and probably came became radicalized when he ate you know the when he was force-fed the the college level um you know left his [ __ ] and he probably ate it all and then he went to China to become a English teacher which he probably was not a very good one considering that he said he's so bad at grammar had actually caused him to tell people that he fought in war so interestingly enough your own family disowned you I saw the thing about his brother several weeks ago and uh it was a Facebook post I didn't know whether to believe it or not it was like a response and a comment on Facebook and I thought no this is interesting but apparently it's the truth um and it says a lot when your own family wants to endorse the person you're running against but they have [ __ ] he said he that the Walls family adores his Tim walls' values um and Tim Walls is seems like a scumbag based off of what he did during the covid situation but just kind of who he is in general so what do you think about Tim Walls do you think that he's a you think think you're getting what you see or do you think that in secret he is a dirt bag so I think most politicians in secret are dirt bags so um yeah that's an interesting scenario imagine that happening to you rfk's family disowned him or not disowned him but they disparaged him they were ashamed of him for for endorsing Trump but the reason being is RFK junor basically Democratic party royalty was denied an opportunity to run for the president for the Democratic party and um they did everything they could to oust him they even denied him a secret service detail this is a Kennedy we're talking about okay two of them were assassinated and political assassinations and including his own father and they they were going to deny him a security detail just sounds evil and um that Democratic party that RFK left is not the Democratic party of JFK it's not even close that's kind of what something I wanted to Bri briefly touch upon here in a second um okay so but but that whole thing is just shows you a lot when your own family says I don't want anything to do with you your own brother they're aranged who knows what happened there it could just be bad blood it could all just be Jeff walls is it is making stuff up but I don't know I can get a read on somebody and usually when somebody's a pretty radical leftist yeah there's things going on there okay so yesterday um Daryl Cooper who has a podcast called martyr made and he does history on basically like history of the 20th century um so far you know he's he's he's done like uh he covers like Western Civilization let's just say history topics and he's done a very long podcast series on the Israeli Palestine ordeal which I haven't listened to it apparently it's like 30 hours long um I myself as I'm a historian uh so I'm you know historian writer podcaster content creator I'm Dr Jesse Roberts by the way I don't know if I introduced to myself at this point um if you could real quick please like my video subscribe to my channel share it comment do what you can to help me grow so darl Cooper as a historian I can appreciate his work I saw yesterday I hav't had a chance to watch the whole interview I've seen Snippets and I've seen what he's written so he wrote um or he he he talked to Tucker Carlson about essentially what it boiled down to was how was Winston Churchill more implicated in the start of World War II more so than just all German dictator guy okay and the internet exploded on both sides of the aisle the left and the right he was being now people have called him a holocaust revisionist or Holocaust denier and they're saying Tucker Carlson thought that was brilliant it's just the whole thing is prosterus that that's the take people are having on it without even listening to it now my perspective on this whole thing we have very much deified certain figures when it comes to World War II in America World War II in the world in the West in general it was this great moment it was a far cry from the first world war which was kind of an embarrassing disgrace um because it was completely pointless World War II was appeared to be this great Justified war against evil and pretty large part it was um you had the Japanese empire which did heinous horrific evil things you had Nazi Germany same thing um we were allied with the Soviet Union who did heinous terrific things too but we can most people look at it with it's kind of like this modern Crusade type thing especially in American culture um after the war you know how many movies were made made how many movies are made to this day um look at movies like Saving Private Ryan that were cultural phenomenons and they largely glorify the second world war especially the American angle in it um just everyday people going off to War I mean those yes like very brave very wonderful um there were some very wonderful people in the war very brave people but the toughest greatest Generation this country has ever produced okay I'm not denying that my point on this whole thing is Winston Churchill is somebody that is often deified in history okay I find him fascinating growing up I was very interested in Winston Churchill and Teddy Roosevelt two people of which my opinion has been somewhat warped because you can't just look at them as all amazing okay they're just it's they're human beings and they have had certain inclinations okay that made them um warhawks let's just say and Winston Churchill got his started that so there's a whole lot about Church Hill that is not discussed and that should be allowed to be discussed without getting this kind of backlash it really should be but that's not the only thing here that I want to talk about you should do when you're studying history you should read you shouldn't read history in an echo chamber you should read conflicting conflicting secondary sources uh with different directions and then you should certainly read the primary sources so stuff Church Hill wrote stuff people wrote about him stuff that um maybe documents from the war that he had a planning what have you that's a that's that's really the most objective way you can you can you can look back and uh subjective so the most subjective way you can look back and just see I need to figure this out on my own it's kind of tough to do that if you don't know where to start which is why secondary sources where most people start as a historian if I'm researching a topic for the first time I'm going to write a big L book book about it or an article or something um secondary sources is you have to do it it's called historiography historiography is the is the change in arguments about a subject over time looking at it from different angles okay let's say you want to study uh the European Witch Trials you want to study the European WT trials in in great in in in England but it's the European Witch Trials so how are you going to compare it well you're going to read someone's book about the European witch trials in Germany um and then the one about the European witch trials in Russia or whatever right and then but you can't just read about localized versions you have to read about the political history of that thing the religious history of that thing right and not just one you're going to read so and so says that the Catholic church was the religious cause of the European witch Huns European witch hunts this is why well so and so says that no it was it was you know it was a cult let's just say this is an example okay and you read their reports and you read their sources and you read their arguments and you put them together and you got to see both sides of an argument you can't just look at just history in an echo chamber which is what we do for most of modern military history we read it in a giant Echo chamber just I'll get into this in a minute okay but it goes to the Civil War okay most historians have a consensus on the cause of the Civil War and you were not allowed to question that at all um World War I for a very long time people would say it was Germany calls World War I well that's just absurd now if you read all the entire historiography and the origins of World War I would be enough to fill my entire library but um you know what ended up happening was um hold on let me just get the the name of this guy before I've read uh of course i' I've had to write about this so much and I can't France Fritz fer okay so Fritz Fisher was after um I want to get the dates here for in the 1960s he discovered that it was a uh I want to get the names I'm sorry let's see here I have written papers on this and all kinds of stuff I can't find the name either way okay uh okay so so the German CH Chancellor thead V bethman halg he claimed to have found primary sources basically stating that Germany wanted Germany had Imperial aims for for before World War I and this was largely seen as the cause like this would have been the driving force behind World War I so Fischer publishes this book this is in the 1960s and it and it it gains a lot of ground and it becomes very popular it's a popular thesis but then later on down the road people say no that's a very narrowed focus of this it's a very narrowed way to look at this and since then the topic the historiography of this has exploded there's um Sean mcmein has done books on Russia's Russia being the culprit that started World War I um clerk did a I can't his first name I think it's Christopher Clark did a book called The Sleepwalkers which kind of blamed everybody for the cause of World War I you get my point okay um there's all these books all stating different people caused World War I who's right well that's the thing about history just like the is about science it's an ongoing process you'll never have the definitive answer um unless so what you have to do is just read their work read what they've written their argument and you're just going to have to go with which one you think is the best and if you don't like their argument you can write your own book that's how history works okay my ter so so I wrote a book on Civil War medicine it's going to be published soon um what my topic is is is Civil War medical education so so medical education for civil war surgeons is a is a topic nobody's covered in at all really okay not in depth so I'm feeling a Niche there and I'm writing it specifically about the guys that went to the University of Michigan well let's say you wanted to write a book about guys that went to the University of Pennsylvania and you guys that went to Jefferson Medical College okay you can do that that's what like that's how history Works um and when it comes to things like World War II and the causes of World War II there has been very little debate allowed it's it's kind of an off kind of out kind of a No Man's Land if you will for a lot of historians and you can see why it's a very touchy subject for people I'm not here to argue the merits of what Daryl Cooper is saying you're going to have to figure that out on your own um I'm not here to defend or disparage Winston Churchill I'm here to tell you before you get all B out of shape and start freaking out about this you need to understand that there there there needs to be Nuance to the conversation as to the causes of war and to every historical conversation you need to be allowed to ask the questions without having your career ruin if I wanted to ruin my career as a historian in 5 minutes I could do what he did okay if I wanted to like go work in a university or something um that's a way you would be able to do that is especially what he's talking about very very much off limits for a lot of people there was a very renowned historian named ajp Taylor um and ajp Taylor he lived um until 1990 he was born in 1906 and he was a he was he was a very prominent historian um he wrote books about he wrote books about he wrote European history books he talked he wrote all kinds of books he wrote about Napoleon he wrote about uh the hapsburg Empire he wrote about Germany uh Colonial Germany he wrote about everything okay you can imagine and in 1961 he wrote a book called the origins of the second world war and he became a pariah because of it because he didn't have the single the single Viewpoint that everybody had agreed upon that it was all one person's fault and it was that person's psychosis and his open desire for Conquest is exactly what drove him to to be that way like you know that's what that's what caused it he had different he had different beliefs he believed actually that um a lot of what happened what with um the appeasement and stuff was stuff that Germany was just taking um because it was being given to them and there were all sorts of other aspects okay I read the book it's it's an older one there's so many other ones out there now but but it ruined us guys reputation for for a time um and you can you can see what's happening with this you're not allowed to question this okay they're calling him a holocaust revisionist and all this stuff um I haven't listened to the whole thing but I've listened to the major parts of it and I don't really get why people are saying that um he's not he's not saying that that the horrible things weren't done he's not denying any of that he's just saying that he thinks that Winston Churchill had a had a more of a um he he had a greater hand in the cause of World War II than he's ever been believed to before so you're not allowed to question that Churchill is very much a hero to the West a great wartime leader all sorts of things but there are also things about Churchill you need to understand he was a very much a Warhawk he was very much a um you know that's how he that's how he got he made he made money as a Workhorse he was a very popular author of books um on war he was a war correspondent he was a veteran you know in World War I after he failed so he was the um he was like the Admiral the um the second Lord of admiralty or whatever for the Navy and he planned the fail d and ell's campaign so The galipo Invasion and after he basically got ousted because of that failure he went into the trenches and world this guy this guy lived for war it was his a big part of his Persona and and his you know he was probably just one of those people that were like like it was that was The Ultimate Rush right um and what happened was by World War II obviously we know the story Neville Chamberlain went to Munich he he cut a deal with Hitler um and eventually chamberlains ousted and they replaced him with Churchill so there's a lot more to this but I'm just I'm just brushing over this very briefly um but but Church Hills time as prime minister often seen as one of the greatest wartime leaders in history one of the greatest leaders in history right there people just just there's no question well he was immediately replaced after the war so I think that we like to people call Daryl Cooper a revisionist historian when I think history is very much revisionist always it's it's if you if you look at like like um look at the Crusades okay there were so many of them but they weren't called the Crusades of the time we didn't call them the Crusades until after the fact till we we we lumped them in together saying it's this one big religious event type thing it was a it was all one like the like I've said earlier the European Witch Trials well we didn't see it as a european-wide phenomenon until we looked at the the historical data after the fact this is what happens with people like Churchill we're going to write history after the fact um in in enough of the collective memory will see him in a certain way and this is how it'll change over time there's only been there's been very few people that have questioned The Narrative about Churchill and one of them is is uh is Patrick Buchanan and he believed that you know there was a lot more to this that the war could have been avoided and that's what Daryl Cooper is L he's largely just repeating stuff from Patrick Buchanan DL Cooper is like a he's like a Libertarian uh you know more of a libertarian type of guy and Patrick banan is kind of I know he was a Paleo conser is a Paleo conservative or whatever but he kind of falls into that area um and so this stuff is not necessarily new it's just not very well it's not very well uh uh known and so I'm just the point of this is before you have a meltdown freak out and think that this guy is is is an apologist for anything understand that these conversations need to take place they are an important part of the historical conversation and they need to we need to be willing to examine them and if they're wrong and they're stupid and you disagree with them you have every right to feel that way and they can be if you're if you're doing junk history then you should be seen as a junk historian if I if I read a history book let's say I just I pull all the books off my shelf and I just make a collection of stuff other people have written um rewrite it in my own words regurgitate that and SLP it on a page and ship it out well that that that would make me a very bad historian if I'm taking a bunch of primary sources and I'm doing the research and I'm coming up with my own ideas and I'm writing this stuff down and I'm that's that the only the the quality of the historian is in the sources they find and the interpretation of the sources like knowing how to find the sources is number one as a historian it's the most important part knowing what sources to look for and then um interpreting them comparing to them to the data you have and compar that to stuff other people have written constructing your argument and fitting it within the larger conversation and citing your your sources that's that's it you're a historian now okay um and if somebody has a stupid argument that you disagree with and they have no good reason to back it up they don't have good sources they don't have a good argument then they have every right to be seen as a junk historian but before you freak out and just go you're not even allowed to talk about this that's a you're treading in Dangerous Waters that's just as much of a you know an impediment to speech as anything else he's obviously a very popular historian and it's cuz he's talking things that nobody else will talk about it's not because people all agree with them it's because they're curious and you should be curious about these types of things and before you just you know before you deify anybody in history do your research you should research people like Abraham Lincoln for existence Abraham Lincoln is all a God in American history but you should look back and see some aspects of Lincoln that are not very desirable I said earlier Teddy Roosevelt was like I was obsessed with him growing up and then I started to research the Progressive Era I started to research T Roosevelt's his his his his record on things like war and I'm like oh Teddy Roosevelt did a lot of crappy things still is a fascinating person but please just be more open-minded to please be more open-minded to different arguments being presented and not just getting pissed off nobody saying you don't have to like Churchill that he was a human being just like us and we all have false we're just saying be open-minded to the argument that the argument sucks and there's no reason for you to listen to it or believe it then don't okay um real quickly um so if you're not familiar the internet archive is this amazing resource I was as a writer and a historian I did I use it all the time it's phenomenal libraries from all over the world museums archives they digitize their stuff um there are millions and millions of books digitized on there you can access if you have an account it's just archive.org um you can so what happens is is you have a essentially it's like a digital library card in your ID in your in your um user ID and you can download you can you can borrow a book for one hour it's just a scan of a book it's like you're turning the pages on a picture and um if if nobody else wants that book in that time you can renew it for an hour at a time unless a library that owns the book uploads it with the LI with the uh the ebook licensing you can borrow it for two weeks like a regular Library use it on your tablet I mean I I I I live on you know the things and it's so great for me because like I don't have room for tons of books I don't want to order a billion books from the library I don't want to pay a ton of money for books and a lot of the times I books for like a section or a page or a paragraph or I speedread it and just get down the important points I mean if as a historian if I sat there and digested every page I would never get anything done so there was a lawsuit because um Publishers were claiming they were losing out on money because internet archive was allowing people access to this information for free but it's just the same way libraries do it you check out and a lot of these books were out of print a lot of them were like the ones I was using were out of print and I there were books like I had to buy um here I'll show it to you one sec so this book here it's called thinking with demons so for for graduate school you need to do comprehensive exams and uh here gu so graduate school you need to do comprehensive exams and I had to do one on the European witch craze and that's why I talk about this all the time so I to buy I to get that book that book was digitized on ar.org for free um I didn't know this till after the fact so I I bought this book to do my exams and this book was $200 for a soft cover book it's an Oxford University press book come to find out it's on ar.org for for free okay there's plenty of books out there like that and you can't and and what happened was the public ERS thought they were losing on their money they sued and lots of the books that people used to use on there are no longer allowed to be on the platform at all and it sucks I understand my argument on this is I have this if it's a brand new book or a bestseller or even like a novel I get it like you know novels sure keep your novels uh you know keep your novels off the platform and we we'll pay for them or check them out from the library but like books like history books or books people you there's like there's tons of primary sources on there too tons of them it's great um like archived like writing my dissertation on Civil War medicine every medical journal I would ever need from that era was on there digitized it was freaking amazing um so the I understand that aspect of it but if I buy this book here let's say keep pulling this up if I buy this book and I want to uh and I want to you know take pictures of it upload it what's the difference between that and me just saying here borrow my book if I only have this one copy I'm lending out at a time I don't see what difference it makes but I also don't see what difference it makes um for the publisher when you go to your library book sale and you will find tons of books there they're basically giving away nobody checks them out your library barely you know have the books in there are barely checked out I have tons of library books I check out and of course they got sued so now a lot of these books are no longer allowed on there especially from Big Publishers like penguin and Bantam book you know these these these major corporate Publishers and it's like they're claiming it's costing them all this money which is absurd it's probably a few cents here and there and have you tried to buy any books lately trying to see if I have any new books they don't not out there right now go try to buy a new book you're going to pay like 40 50 bucks for a hard cover book nowadays um in your library if you want to order them it takes forever this is the 21st century you should be allowed to do this and they got sued and now now they're making it basically like all the a lot of these books now you have to pay for the digital license for if you're going to put them on the site and a digital license often costs significantly more than just the paperback rights to a book or you know the rights just just buying the book to to check out to people in your library if this is my library and I bought all these books in my collection and I want people to be able to read them I feel like that should be my right to let people read them sorry I'm very pissed off about this because I think that we need to get people interested in obtaining knowledge no matter what especially young people who are online or just we need to make it more accessible for people to do to do research now that we have the internet which is amazing for research my dissertation like I get to do so much of the research online and my books I do you should be able to access that information on the internet and and it's an amazing resource and we get so many ideas out there if you want to do like research on Winston Churchill you should be able to go on there and read four or five different books books you should be able to read the different arguments and if I bought those books and I want other people to be able to read them I should have the right to be able to share those with whoever I want that's what's happening people will buy these books and it's like it looks like if you're reading it it looks like if you're turning the pages right like it's just like this it's like if I were to scan it like this it's all just right um and if I were to if I want to take the time to scan my own book that I purchased and share it with the world the publisher already got their money so now they're saying they deserve the money twice I think this is bull crap dude and there are books on there that are out of print that you cannot get anymore you can't find them at your library you know there's stuff out of there that's no longer um it's free domain stuff that's it's free to use and but either way like this is it's it's just it was such an amazing resource such an amazing resource and of course now it's it's it's no longer a thing well I mean there's still books on there but like this is this is going to be an issue now and I have a feeling that internet archive is not going to pay for the digital licensing for all these books considering it's a free it's a it's a nonprofit absurd I'm very upset about this I'm pissed actually I was hoping that they would they would you know even though the even though all the other like the libraries and other and other Publishers and authors are like no you should be able to do this get our ideas out there nope it's all about those Publishers and making those those additional royalties so tragic so um I guess I don't really have a lot of time here I got like five more minutes before I got to go I wanted to talk about briefly about John McCain's son refusing to John McCain's son is refusing to uh support Trump because Trump did the whole thing at Arlington on the anniversary of the withdrawal of of Afghanistan and he was seen as using the the ARL National Cemetery as a backdrop for a political campaign his own dad did the same thing and it kind of brought me down this Wormhole to this article here I'll show it to it's by Politico of course but it says if Republicans want to win big they need Trump to lose big to dominate the country once more Republicans need to hasten the move to a post Trump party they're essentially saying that the Republican Party um in order to be relevant again needs to get rid of trump and voting KLA Harris and in in order to be be a relevant major party again they should want to do that what they're saying is we need to have the uni party back Republicans don't do anything Republicans are worthless they've been worthless for years whenever they've had the majority they do nothing with it even when Trump was in office they did nothing with it I I just I have no respect for the Republican party as a staunch libertarian they I don't I think the left and the Democrats are destructive and awful but I think the Republicans do nothing that's where I'm at with this whole thing and this idea that Trump needs to go in order to get the Republican Party back it just tells you exactly where the mindset is with politicians it's not about their voters they're why are the people in the Republican party why are the Republican Party supporters going to vote for Trump is it because he stands for things that they want and they believe in well yeah that's how this works but that's not what that's not what matters to these people so you're seeing it now where a lot of these old Garden neoconservatives are basically Democrats now John McCain was even that way at the end of his life and it's a fascinating subject I'm doing a book on this right now about how like the neocons basically took over politics and got infiltrated the White House um under the bush Ed Administration got us into the Iraq War but originally neoconservatism started out as a breakaway from the new Left these guys that start you know that like um Irving uh Crystal and um why can I not think of his name Irving Crystal and Norman pod horites and all these people they were they were basically marxists that broke away and they they they feared the Soviet Union and they saw now that that the new the new Democratic party was not nearly as militant against the Soviet Union that was the threat to them so they decided to just break away and do their own thing they were mocked for it and and seeing they were going to infiltrate the left and so they decided to start their own basically right-wing movement the neoconservatives and in turn they infiltrated the left cuz now they're all in the left and the left is going to abide by most of their ideology kamla Harris Barack Obama Joe Biden they are going to be neoconservatives when it comes to foreign intervention the neoconservatives were very much supportive of the welfare state so this idea that the Republican party needs to be great again to get they need if they want to be great again they got to get rid of trump well they're they're already they've already reached their end goal the Democrats have become them they've become the Democrats this is what they started out to do John McCain son can be whiny about it all he wants go vote for KL Harris it's just proof that the people that you guys all claim to support for for for years and years you don't care about it all you care about the party you care about the uni party care about the establishment and that's all you ever are going to care about so I'll brush up more on this tomorrow I'm going to cut this video I got to go but uh thanks for watching my video please like subscribe share my channel and um and uh give me give me a holler on X if you'd like all right um bye
