MICHAEL KNOWLES (HOST): This is Proud Boys met by a group, I think called Patriot Front. It's hard to tell exactly who these people are because they wear masks over their faces. And this is a group -- in recent months, maybe a year, you've seen this group Patriot Front come to the fore and they march and they seem really on the nose. And I think -- I don't -- I've never really heard of this group and I'm pretty in it. You know, it's my job to read about what's going on politically in the United States, and especially on the right. I don't really know anything about these guys. It seems kinda like a, well, it's right there in the name. It seems kinda like a front. You know? We know that federal agents infiltrate these supposedly right-wing grassroots groups. We've seen the memoranda from the FBI. We've seen these guys get caught.

...

So we know this kind of stuff happens. And there's a video of the Proud Boys going up to these supposed American neo-Nazis and saying, get the hell out of here. You guys are not part of us. You're obviously Feds. Go away.

...

Now, look, I don't know if those guys are Feds. I don't know if those guys are there just to try to make the right look bad or -- I -- I really -- I don't know. I don't know. I don't know, I don't really care. However, there is one good piece of evidence that these guys might have -- I'm not saying that they're actual employees of the federal government, but that they might have some kind of connection, you know, to the federal government. One piece of evidence here that they're Feds is from Adam Kinzinger, former Republican member of Congress, who's a total shill for the liberal establishment. He tweets out, he says, these people -- referring to conservative pundits who were laughing about this video -- these people, all blue checks, are celebrating a seemingly MAGA assault on federal officers. Now, I don't know what this really is, but take a gander at the comments of the patriots who love America. And reading that comment, you say, hold on. Wait. You're admitting that Patriot Front is a bunch of Feds? Did you -- Adam Kinzinger, who is not the swiftest politician out there, that's why he's no longer in Congress. Not necessarily the sharpest tool in the shed. He's -- he's out there, he's saying, this is outrageous. All these conservatives are laughing at an attack on federal agents. You say, no, man, you're supposed to pretend that they're not federal agents.

And, anyway, just a reminder that the -- you really shouldn't believe everything you read in the liberal establishment papers. Because the -- the reality of what's going on on the right is not the way that it is portrayed. And I think people are beginning to wake up to this, and you're seeing it reflected in the polls and priorities of the real conservatives.
