Rep Elise Stefanik talks with Maria Bartiromo. 3/30/25
Rep Elise Stefanik was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo to discuss President Trump’s America first agenda.
TGP reported last week that President Trump withdrew Rep Stefanik’s nomination for UN Ambassador to protect the slim majority in the House that the Republicans maintain.
“Can you tell us a little about what President Trump is asking you to do?” Bartiromo asked.
“This is very important that we put the American people first. Congress must pass this reconciliation package to cut taxes, unleash American energy independence, and secure the border,” Stefanik said.
“This is a historically slim House majority. I know that as a House leader,” Stefanik said.
“The political realities are what they are and it’s very important that we have every single vote in the House,” Stefanik continued.
Rep Stefanik also talked about being nominated for UN Ambassador and explained the importance of what is best for the team.
“I was proud to be the nominee for the United Nations. It is so important that we step up as a team in so many ways and I am doing that,” Stefanik said.
Bartiromo also discussed the resignation of Columbia University’s current President. Footage from December 2023 shows Rep Stefanik calling out Harvard President Claudine Gay regarding anti-Semitism along with other university Presidents.
“She did resign. And you kicked this whole thing off. We had another President of Columbia resigning this weekend. What is your reaction?” Bartiromo asked.
“We have seen six high profile university Presidents resign, two of which are from Columbia because these university Presidents have failed to show moral, strong leadership and President Trump as he campaigned on, is holding them accountable,” Stefanik said.
“I’m going to continue to lead this effort in holding higher ed accountable, standing up to be good stewards of US taxpayer dollars,” Stefanik continued.
Over the weekend, March 29, 2025, the “Tesla Takedown” protests escalated into a global day of action, with over 200 demonstrations targeting Tesla showrooms across the United States, Canada, Europe, and beyond. The coordinated movement, driven by anger over Elon Musk’s role in slashing federal government agencies waste and fraud through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
On X, viral posts from several reporters such as @scootercasterny highlighted banners and chants like “Burn a Tesla, Save Democracy,” many suggested these demonstrations were not spontaneous but coordinated payed efforts. Other reports showed Trump supporters with MAGA hats on in cyber trucks driving by the protests triggering leftists to spew profanities at them.

The uncrewed Spectrum rocket crashed and burn – like Germany as a whole?
For decades, the German people have been renowned for their engineering prowess, associated with precision, innovation, and durability.
You’d hear phrases like ‘German engineering is not just a skill; it’s a philosophy of perfection’, or ‘Germany, engineering is not a job—it’s an art form’.
In the area of rocket design and construction it was not different, with genius pioneer Werner Von Braun taken from Nazi Germany to erect the first NASA projects.
But that was then, and this is now, with de-industrializing Teutons devolving from their former glory.
Today, a German test rocket supposed to kick-start the European satellite launches failed, fell back to the ground and exploded 40 seconds after its launch from a Norwegian space port – come to think of it, in the perfect symbolic image of the country’s current situation.
“The uncrewed Spectrum rocket was described as the first attempt at an orbital flight to originate from Europe, where several nations – including Sweden and Britain – have said they want a share of a growing market for commercial space missions.
It was the largest German rocket since V-2, the Nazi-era rocket that has often been described as having launched the space age and was the world’s first long-range guided ballistic missile.”

As for the company that developed the Spectrum rocket, Isar Aerospace, the failed flight was in fact a success, and ‘produced extensive data from which its team could learn’.
“’Our first test flight met all our expectations, achieving a great success’, Daniel Metzler, the chief executive, said in a statement. ‘We had a clean lift-off, 30 seconds of flight, and even got to validate our flight termination system’.
Spectrum, a two-stage orbital launch vehicle, is 28 meters long, powered by 10 engines developed in-house by Isar, and was specifically designed to put small and medium satellites into orbit.”

Former U.S. Naval Intelligence Officer Jack Posobiec poses at the James Brady Press Briefing Room podium
Ahead of the pivotal Wisconsin Supreme Court election scheduled for Tuesday, April 1 – with ideological control of the court hinging on this election – former U.S. Naval Intelligence Officer and Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec appeared on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast to discuss this high stakes election in a culture where MAGA is finally winning the information war.
“The War Room posse, and the MAGA movement writ large, we won the information battle in many ways,” Posobiec said.
“The Wisconsin Supreme Court seat is not just about one election – it’s about all the court cases that will come up – in 2026; in 2028; it’s about the census; it’s about all the cases where [previously] we would have a good case, and then the Supreme Court strikes it down because they understood, through Soros – starting with the District Attorneys, but then he flipped over to the judges as well – that if you get the judges, you can get any ruling that you want.
‘And effectively, what they created through getting the bench: we were going to have a one-party state in this country. They would essentially make it illegal to be an active Republican – until Donald J. Trump got involved and said, ‘We are going to put a stop to it,’” Posobiec said.
Posobiec was making reference to the many travesties of injustice and abuses of power perpetrated by a partisan judiciary against President Trump’s movement to begin the 2020s.
Now, in Wisconsin, Ann Bradley, a liberal-leaning jurist who has served on the Wisconsin Supreme Court since 1995, has decided to retire, rather than seek re-election to the state’s high court. Bradley’s seat hangs in the balance, representing the critical swing vote on a 4-3 liberal-leaning Supreme Court bench.
On Tuesday, April 1, conservative-leaning Waukesha Circuit Court Judge Brad Schimel will face the liberal-leaning Dane County Circuit Judge Susan Crawford in a statewide election for the vacant Wisconsin Supreme Court seat and ideological control of the high court.
Also, on April 1, two special elections will be held in Florida for vacant U.S. House of Representatives seats that, if won by Democrats, would narrow the Republican U.S. House majority to 218-217.
Out of abundance of caution, President Trump has recently withdrawn House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik’s nomination for United Nations Ambassador – a vacancy in her House seat would risk Democrats usurping the seat and taking control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
“They are coming. They want to destroy the MAGA movement; they want to destroy President Trump; they want to put President Trump in prison,” Steve Bannon said Saturday.
“In Wisconsin, Democrats are going to spend over $100 million on the Supreme Court race. They know if they flip that [Supreme Court seat], they take two [U.S. House of Representatives] seats, basically – they are going to redistrict,” Bannon said.
Watch video from 10: 50-14: 40.
In 2024, President Trump won the state of Wisconsin by less than 1% of the popular vote – fewer than 30,000 votes – his slimmest margin of victory in any state. On the same Wisconsin ballot, incumbent Democrat Tammy Baldwin held her U.S. Senate seat by a near-equally slim margin as President Trump defeated Kamala Harris.
The Wisconsin Governor, Democrat Tony Evers, is not term-limited, and he would be unlikely to challenge any Wisconsin Supreme Court rulings rendered by a liberal-leaning bench.
In Washington, D.C., the abusive power of the judiciary has again become glaringly apparent, with D.C. Superior Court Judge “Jeb” Boasberg single-handedly ruling by fiat to halt President Trump’s deportation of millions of illegal migrants.
As Mike Davis, former Chief Counsel for Nominations to the Senate Judiciary and founder of the Article III Project in support of constitutionalist judges amusingly told Steve Bannon this week on War Room, “Any person named Jeb should be automatically disqualified [from the bench].”
MAGA’s recourse for the many abuses of power perpetrated by federal and state judges remains to be determined, but MAGA must currently focus on defending the nation from those sinister forces that nearly succeeded in making America a one-party state that imprisons its political dissidents.
“Donald Trump, with all his imperfections, saved this republic. Consciously knowing what was in store, consciously knowing they were going to bankrupt him, put him in prison, and try to assassinate him, Trump is the American Cincinnatus. He’s not just an historic figure. Trump is a figure at the level of Washington and Lincoln,” Steve Bannon, himself a former U.S. Naval Lieutenant, said Saturday.
“I have studied American history deeply, and I have understood the currents of American history. That’s why on this show, on the afternoon of 20 January, 2021, I said the arc of American history – the logic of American history – means that Trump is going to come back. He will win his third term and serve his second term,” Bannon said.
Radical America-hating Obama-Judge James Boasberg is fighting to give Tren de Aragua gang-bangers, criminals, and killers, individual rights that he stripped from J6 Defendants in the courtroom.
J6 defendant Sara Carpenter, radical Judge Boasman, Tren de Aragu terrorists
Judge James Boasman, the self-proclaimed leader of the executive branch, rejected the Trump administration’s call to rescind his restraining order, saying the Venezuelans marked for deportation under the Alien Enemies Act are likely to win — because they are entitled to individual hearings/due process.
BREAKING: Judge Boasberg rejects Trump administration call to rescind his restraining order, saying the Venezuelans marked for deportation under the Alien Enemies Act are likely to win — because they are entitled to individual hearings/due process. https://t.co/8tdhWw2OIkpic.twitter.com/UWSkS4pyvV
This is the same judge that would not give J6 defendants the right to examine evidence to defend themselves in court before trial.
According to Grok-AI, in March 2023, Boasberg denied defendant Sara Carpenter’s request to delay her trial to review newly released Capitol security footage from Speaker Kevin McCarthy, arguing she failed to show how it would be exculpatory and citing the risk of derailing multiple trials.
Sara Carpenter entered the US Capitol and shook a tambourine. For this, he gave her 22 months in prison.
In a 2023 speech to law students at the University of Chicago, he expressed frustration that existing laws did not allow for harsher charges against January 6 defendants, noting there were no specific statutes criminalizing actions like storming the Capitol to interfere with electoral certification. He suggested “a lot of law still to be made” in this area, hinting at a belief that defendants’ actions warranted stronger legal consequences than what current statutes permitted.
Earlier, in 2023, as incoming chief judge, he described January 6 as an “insurrection” in court, despite no defendant being formally charged or convicted of insurrection under 18 U.S.C. § 2383, raising questions about prejudgment.
Judge Boasberg showed little concern for January 6 defendants’ broader due process rights, such as pretrial detention conditions. For instance, he did not publicly address documented issues like solitary confinement or medical care delays in the D.C. jail, despite presiding over cases where such conditions affected defendants.
His previous stance contrasts with his later scrutiny of due process in deportation cases involving illegal Venezuelan migrants and gang-bangers in 2025, prompting accusations of selective advocacy.
Judge James Boasberg is a very partisan and wicked person. He has no business deciding the fate of an individual American. He certainly has no business leading the executive branch.
But, like a typical modern-day Democrat, Boasberg is fighting to give rights to illegal alien killers, rapists, and criminals while he persecutes his political opposition. He would, obviously. be happier in Venezuela than in Washington, DC.

Hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots have been returned already in the important election for the next Wisconsin state Supreme Court Justice. Who is ensuring these ballots are secure and safeguarded?
A chart from a few days ago shows that on March 26 there were 408k absentee ballots returned in this week’s Supreme Court race.

In the last election, a recount took place on election day of 30,000 absentee ballots in Wisconsin.
BREAKING: Milwaukee, WI election officials announced that they are recounting 30,000 absentee ballots after discovering that the scanning machine door wasn’t properly closed. pic.twitter.com/nmbgWMwtzj
Absentee ballots add so much risk to the election process because there is more time and space for them to be tampered with. With absentee ballots, the elongated time frame and massive area where absentee ballots are disbursed are virtually impossible to guarantee adequate safeguarding of ballots.
Absentee ballots add risk because:
Ballots are distributed by a third party (the USPS)
Ballots are sent out weeks ahead of the election
Ballots are received before the election day and must be stored and safeguarded
Signatures on ballot envelopes are the only form of identification and in some states the signature matching process is virtually ignored
In Wisconsin the big question in this election and past elections is who is safeguarding the ballots? Where are the ballots being held and who is guaranteeing that they have not been tampered with since they were received by election personnel.
Why are observers or cameras not in place to ensure the absentee ballots are not tampered with?
If the good people of Wisconsin wanted to ensure a valid election they would ensure all the ballots received from this point forward are safeguarded and eliminate absentee ballots in future elections. The risks are too high.
Canadians are applauding the tough stance their government is taking against the United States after the Ontario Premier threatened, in response to Trump’s latest tariffs on Canada, “We’re Gonna…Inflict as Much Pain as Possible on The American People,” with many canceling their travel plans to the U.S. in support, while their new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, declared that the old relationship with the U.S. is over, earning him praise as a hero, though the reality is that Canada is far more dependent on the U.S. than the U.S. is on Canada, and severing ties would be akin to economic suicide.
Canada and the United States have long shared a multifaceted relationship, their 5,500-mile border tethering Canada’s prosperity and security to its southern neighbor through deep economic ties, defense collaborations, and shared infrastructures. This interdependence has shaped Canada’s strategic decisions for decades.
On March 27, after a cabinet meeting in Ottawa, Prime Minister Mark Carney declared, “The old relationship based on economic integration and military cooperation is over,” citing President Donald Trump’s steep tariff threats—including a 25% levy on Canadian cars and parts—as a “direct attack” violating the USMCA. With Trump hinting at even harsher measures on Truth Social, Carney warned that the U.S. is no longer reliable, vowing to “dramatically reduce” Canada’s dependence and pivot toward allies like France and the UK. Promising forceful retaliatory trade actions as Canada now braces for a trade war, marking the end of decades of trust and a urgent push for new global alliances.
Canada’s economy is profoundly linked to the U.S., its largest trading partner. In the first three quarters of 2024, approximately $600 billion in goods crossed the border, rising to $683 billion with services included. Nearly every Canadian province directs at least 55% of its exports to the U.S., with some seeing trade account for 17% to 40% of their GDP. Nationally, exports to the U.S. made up 16.8% of Canada’s GDP in 2023, with critical commodities like oil, natural gas, and minerals—such as uranium and potash—flowing south.
Another economic benefit Canada risks losing by cutting ties with the U.S. is foreign direct investment (FDI). The amount of U.S. FDI in Canada was approximately $58 billion in 2024, accounting for about 45% of Canada’s total FDI. Meanwhile, Canadian FDI inflows into the United States totaled $69 billion in 2023. The difference, however, lies in the motivations: foreign companies, particularly Chinese ones, invest in Canada to export products tariff-free to the U.S. under trade agreements like the USMCA. But now, with U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports—such as the proposed 25% duties in 2025—those exports would become costlier, likely reducing such FDI. Conversely, one of the reasons Canada invests in the U.S. to access global markets and facilitate overland trade with Mexico. If tariffs disrupt the U.S.-Canada border, Canadian production and investment in America could grow even more critical.
The Canadian government established a $4.8 billion USD fund to assist businesses impacted by the loss of U.S. exports, providing loans and export support. Rather than generating income, this fund imposes a burden on taxpayers. Moreover, it covers only 1% of the $438.5 billion USD in U.S. trade and fails to prevent a substantial revenue decline.
Canada’s other move—courting Europe and other countries—won’t replace the U.S., the world’s largest export market, since Canada already trades with 190 nations, leaving no new partners to tap. Asking these countries to buy more Canadian goods won’t work; they’re at capacity, and losing U.S. demand didn’t spark hunger for our products elsewhere—plus, shipping costs make those exports pricier than to the U.S. Worse, the trade surplus we enjoy with the U.S. won’t fly with others; they’ll demand imports in return, flipping Canada’s surplus into a deficit as our costs rise.
Not only its economy, but also Canada’s defense strategy leans heavily on the U.S. Canada depends on U.S.-led Five Eyes intelligence. The Canadian Armed Forces (68,000 personnel) pale beside the U.S.’s 1.3 million, relying on American might via NORAD—established 1958—to secure borders and airspace, especially as Russia and China threaten the Northern Route through the Arctic with repeated air force and navy incursions above Canadian waters, around Alaska, and near Greenland to dominate this strategic passage.
Canada’s investments in radar, submarines, and jets cannot match U.S. naval depth or its $900 billion USD defense budget (versus Canada’s $19.3 billion USD). And the only countries apart from the US with powerful enough militaries to challenge Russia and China are Russia and China, so unless Canada will enter a defense pact with those two countries, there is no one poised to defend Canada from them.
The bottom line is that Canada depends on the United States for economy and defense, and the US is an indispensable partner in both areas. Canada, by contrast, is not crucial for the US.
Sentebale’s Chairwoman Chandauka and Prince Harry in happier times.
After news arose that Prince Harry and co-founder Prince of Lesotho were resigning ‘with a heavy heart’ from the African AIDS charity Sentebale – created to honor his late mother Princess Diana – the organization’s Chairwoman has fired back, in a scathing attack against the Dukes of Sussex.
Sophie Chandauka accused Harry of trying to oust her after she complained of ‘harassment and bullying at scale’.
Chandauka told Sky News’s Trevor Phillips that she ‘became the problem’ after a whistleblower complaint, and that Prince Harry interfered in the investigation in a cover-up.
“In an apparent attempt to control the narrative after a series of briefings and counter-briefings, she told Sky: ‘The only reason I’m here is because at some point on Tuesday, Prince Harry authorized the release of a damaging piece of news to the outside world without informing me or my […] directors’.”
Another of Harry’s African charities also has had terrible problems.
While she alleged to have previously enjoyed a ‘great relationship’ with Harry, she also criticized him for ‘raising topics that were not on the agendas of meetings’, in an environment where everyone feared him.
The dispute over the charity’s governance appears to have started in a public embarrassment during a Sentebale charity polo match in Miami.
Images from the podium after the match showed Meghan appearing to tell Chandauka to move away from Harry, making her duck under the trophy to switch position.
This display of Meghan’s ‘personality’ generated bad publicity, and sources tell The Telegraph that the Sussexes were furious.
“’Ultimately, it comes down to that polo match and the awkward moment with Meghan moving her out the way’, the source said. ‘Harry then demanded that she make a statement to the press, basically saying ‘Meghan wasn’t mean to me’, and she refused to do that’.”
I would personally like to thank the Sussex Squad who originally shared this video on Instagram
They did a great job exposing Meghan Markle’s atrocious treatment of Dr Sophie Chandauka pic.twitter.com/YENapNsrhG
After that, sources say Harry tried hard to get rid of her, ‘undermining her, demeaning her and trying and force her hand’.
Chandauka says the mishap originated when Meghan attended the event without warning the organizers.
“We would have been really excited [if] we knew ahead of time, but we didn’t, and so the choreography went badly on stage because we had too many people. The international press captured this, and there was a lot of talk about the Duchess and the choreography on stage and whether she should have been there and her treatment of me. Prince Harry asked me to issue some sort of a statement in support of the Duchess and I said I wouldn’t, not because I didn’t care about the Duchess, but because I knew what would happen if I did so, number one. And number two, because we cannot be an extension of the Sussexes.”
Watch: full interview.
That interview was absolutely dynamite and totally coherent. Dr. Sophie Chandauka comes across as a logical, rational, and brilliant woman who’s unfairly facing harassment for bravely standing up for what is right.
The Zimbabwean lawyer threw more shade on Prince Harry by alleging that, after he left the UK for California, his brand’s ‘toxicity’ became the biggest threat to the future of the charity.
The Netflix documentary ‘Harry & Meghan’ and his memoir Spare, according to Chandauka, affected Sentebale’s ‘ability to attract new donors and make senior hires’.
The South African Constitutional Court has rejected a lawsuit by civil rights org AfriForum against the song “Kill the Boer” as sung by the Marxist “Economic Freedom Fighters”, saying it has “no reasonable prospects of success.” The Trump administration has cut all aid and military assistance to South Africa over its blatantly racist and discriminatory laws.
According to the Sunday Times, the Trump administration has cut military assistance and cooperation with the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), expelling its military attache Brigadier Gen. Richard Maponyane. The paper cited a memo dated March 13 from the US State Department to Aaron Harding, the CFO of America’s Defense Security Co-operation Agency (DCSA). Any South African military personnel in the US for training will be sent back to South Africa ASAP, Business Insider reported.
The Trump administration announced it was suspending US aid to South Africa February 8 over its race-based expropriation law and persecution of ethnic minorities. South Africa’s US Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool was kicked out of the USA after accusing US President Donald Trump of leading a “global white supremacy movement.”
EFF leader Julius Malema called everyone who complains of a “white genocide” in South Africa “racist” and told them to leave the country before singing the “struggle song” Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer with a crowd of 60,000 dancing supporters on “Human Rights Day” March 21.
A 30-year old farmer was tortured to death by 3 men in police uniforms the next day.
In a post on X March 24, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio criticized the song: “Kill the Boer” is a chant that incites violence. South Africa’s leaders and politicians must take action to protect Afrikaner and other disfavored minorities. The United States is proud to offer those individuals who qualify admission to our nation amid this continued horrible threat of violence,” Rubio wrote.
Civil rights organisation AfriForum, which is currently lobbying the Trump administration and Congress in Washington, condemned the decision to “legalize calls for the murder of Afrikaners and farmers.” AfriForum was appealing against two previous rulings that legalized the singing of “Kill the Boer” (The Gateway Pundit reported).
AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel said that after the end of Apartheid 1994, the impression was created that the Constitutional Court would protect human rights – including the human rights of Afrikaners. “After this shocking court ruling, we see that this is no longer the case. We are seeing an increasing radical implementation of the Constitution. We see an increase in ideologically driven judges. However, we are not going to become discouraged. We take clear notice of this – we also take notice of the fact that President Cyril Ramaphosa and the government do not want to condemn the statements of ‘Kill the Boer’,” Kriel said.
AfriForum said it will reinforce local community watch intitatives and instructed its legal team to investigate the various international platforms through which it can continue its legal action. “Having exhausted all local legal remedies, AfriForum will now continue its fight internationally,” AfriForum stated.
“This internationalization will involve more than just taking legal action. It will also include an intensified effort to draw the attention of international authorities and opinion leaders to the fact that according to South African courts, it is acceptable to encourage the murder of Afrikaners and farmers, while President Cyril Ramaphosa and his government refuse to condemn these calls for violence,” Kriel said.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) party called the court decision “unacceptable and divisive.”
“The inflammatory “Kill the Boer” chant has no place in our society, regardless of any legal ruling on its constitutionality. The fact that this song continues to be sung by Julius Malema and other political figures is deeply troubling and unacceptable,” the DA stated, noting the song “incites violence, stokes hatred, and deepens divisions within our society. We should be working towards unity and healing, and songs like this only serve to deepen the rifts that still exist in our country.”
Writing on Visegrad24, AfriForum spokesman Ernst van Zyl noted that “South Africa’s government is turning race into a weapon, and it’s destroying the nation from within. Jobs, aid, even basic services are all being sacrificed on the altar of racial dogma.”
“Both President Donald Trump and Elon Musk recently called out the South African government for its threats to private property and its many race-based laws – and rightly so,” Ernst van Zyl wrote. “For decades, the African National Congress (ANC) has steadily imposed an ever-growing set of race-driven policies while openly threatening citizens with expropriation without compensation.”
Van Zyl accused the ruling ANC of “racially discriminatory policies … dating as far back as the 1990s … carefully packaged in flowery language,” such as the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment race quotas.
Van Zyl called “South Africa’s obsession with race-based policies no secret – it’s a matter of record.”
AfriForum compiled comprehensive reports in 2020 and 2022 detailing the government’s racially discriminatory policies, Van Zyl noted.
Martin van Staden, Head of Policy at the Free Market Foundation, has documented more than 141 race-based laws still in force today, Van Zyl wrote. Nearly 37% (116+) were introduced after 1994.
“The ANC continues to cynically attempt to direct everyone’s eyes to the rear-view mirror, while simultaneously championing its own laundry list of race laws. Its twisted reasoning boils down to digging a new pothole to fill an old one. Fortunately, leaders like Donald Trump appear not to be falling for their twisted narrative anymore,” wrote Van Zyl.

Comedian Danny Mullen, Left, faces off against a Tesla protester and proceeds to teach him a painful lesson after getting attacked. Credit: Danny Mullen YouTube screenshot
A cocky, violent anti-DOGE agitator picked a fight with the wrong guy at a protest that has since gone viral on social media.
Comedian Danny Mullen posted a video on YouTube showing his activities at a sizeable anti-Tesla demonstration in Palo Alto, California earlier this month. He showed up to the protest wearing a DOGE shirt and pro-Trump hat, seeing these individuals as perfect targets for his comedy routine.
Throughout the video, Mullen provides commentary explaining his thought process during his time in enemy territory.
At first, the protesters reacted to his presence peacefully, with most understanding that Mullen was trolling them. But things turn dark when Mullen comes face-to-face with a middle-aged bearded man who walks up to him as the comedian argues with a few agitators.
The man starts mocking Mullen with a hick accent, saying, “Sir, we have tiny d*cks, and that’s why we support this sh*t!” He slaps Mullen in the face, knocking off the comedian’s hat.
“Little bch!” he taunts.
Mullen cuts away from the fight footage to explain his martial arts experience. He said that at that moment, he was trying to decide how to handle the situation “artfully.”
He first decides to use equal force and slaps the grinning thug back in self-defense, but this does not deter the agitator.
“To quote King Theoden (a Lord of the Rings Character): So it begins,” Mullen says in his commentary.
The bearded man walks toward him, and the two begin grappling. Then, Mullen grabs the thug around the neck and delivers a clean, painful takedown.

TESLA PROTESTOR ASSAULTS DOGE SUPPORTER, GETS LESSON ON WHY FIGHTING IS A BAD IDEA
A Tesla protestor knocked the hat off a DOGE shirt-wearing counter-protestor, not realizing he had just provoked a jiu-jitsu brown belt.
“The hit, the ‘little bch, the grin, the grabbing me; it made me think he wants combat, and I better get him to the ground so I don’t get hit again,” Mullen says while explaining his perfectly defensible action. “Jiu-jitsu is based on the idea that if your opponent is standing, he can put his full body into his strike and generate enough force to knock you out.”
“But once you get him to the ground, it’s over,” he continues. “I’m a brown belt, so it’s possible one day I find myself on the ground with a black belt and get out grappled. But as a rule, people who know how to fight don’t start fights.
The Tesla protester clearly had no clue and responded to the takedown by biting Mullen. However, the experienced jit-jitsu practitioner utilized a triangle choke, a highly effective submission where the attacker uses their legs to encircle their opponent’s neck and one arm. This creates a figure-four shape and constricts blood flow to the opponent’s brain.
Tesla protesters tell Mullen to “get the fk off” their comrade while the comedian replies “he hit me.” The bearded man lies and says, “I hit your hat, dude.”
“If you want to, you can extinguish someone’s life with a triangle,” Mullen says in his commentary. “But for a situation like this, you put the guy on timeout.”
“He’s got to put him (the bearded man) to sleep,” an anti-Tesla protester is heard saying. Others try to desperately free their helpless fellow agitator from Mullen’s grasp to no avail.
Mullen then lets the man go, saying, “I’m not going to hurt him.” He explained in his commentary that his goal was catch and release from the beginning.
