Let’s talk a little about Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys, and the allegations that he was an FBI informant. Does this mean the whole thing was a sham? An “inside job”?

0 (1m 11s):
All right, Josh, what do we have for today?
2 (1m 15s):
Well, the news is being read and kicking off in the past couple of days. We’ve already forgotten about let’s see what you have the capital and the germline is now the present of the U S cause as you said, and the title, what are the proud boys, an inside job? Well, the news is going to be to kick you off on this one that caused on, I believe a News platform that rotates. I think that’s how you pronounce it. The exclusive is ProudBoys Lita was prolific informa for law enforcement. Holy crap. Can you believe it
0 (1m 45s):
Now? You know, on a C I was just like this much shocked. We know when I heard it, but then as I started reading the article, right, I was like, you know, Hmm. It kinda makes sense. Right. But you know, to give people more context, the, a, the article also added that, that, and Enrique Tarrio, which was, again, the leader of the Proud Boys obviously now it’s a label is an extremist group. And I believe you had mentioned Josh earlier that in Canada is labeled as a terrorist group. Is that right? Or what does that mean,
2 (2m 17s):
Canada? You know, being named by the house of commons as a terrorist entity. So basically not welcoming Canada.
0 (2m 25s):
Right, right. And also it says that, so it has passed as an informer for the federal and local law enforcement repeatedly working undercover for investigators after he was arrested in 2012, according to a former prosecutor and a transcript of the 2014 federal court proceeding obtained by routers now, too, to be too. So you guys also know, and to be fair, the ProudBoys organization started officially after this whole fiasco that, you know, that rotors is exposing, right. It started in 2016, I guess you can kind of say officially now, when did the actual idea pop in this guy’s head?
0 (3m 7s):
Who knows? And if not in this guy’s head, as we can, we’re kind of hinting here and the heads of whoever he is. He ultimately the puppet, the puppet master. Now I, you know, Josh and I did try to look for any evidence that perhaps, you know, this is just, you know, some, some hearsay, some rumors, mainly from any group trying to make this guy look bad and, you know, you kind of victimized them, or even in this guy coming out outright insane that this is a one, a a hundred percent false, or we haven’t found anything. Nope. Perhaps he has and some random Ted talk video or, or a God knows wherever we haven’t found anything officially. Right. In addition, that looks like in the, the article also said that in the Miami herring, at federal prosecutor, a federal Bureau of investigation agent, and Tarrio his own lawyer, he described his undercover work and said he had helped authorities prosecuted more than a dozen people and various cases involving drug and human trafficking or smuggling.
0 (4m 10s):
So, okay. So let’s, let’s really, you know, get to the core of this story. And that is that there is a possibility that the whole ProudBoys for America, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. He was being led by someone that essentially was working with the very law enforcement that supposedly right. In many cases you heard was trying to take down the ProudBoys or what at least was not working with the ProudBoys when in fact there was a good chance that it was right. If this guy went as far as to become an informer of, of law enforcement, in my opinion, by the, at least it is very possible that he, you know, he created this group with the, what the end of, of perhaps infiltrating certain radical groups.
0 (4m 55s):
So the question is, does that make this guy a bad guy or does it make him a good guy?
2 (5m 2s):
Well, it always, it always depends on what you stand politically with that one, but it was actually funny that you say that cause, and the interview with rotors on this Tuesday just being, which is the 26th of this month, January, he said, I don’t know any of this. And he also went on to say about the transcripts. I don’t recall any of this.
0 (5m 25s):
It was great the night. It is not, it’s not like he’s like, absolutely not or something. Right. Which is what I’m saying. Like he doesn’t like, he came out and said, I mean, it could have been a really easy, right. That cause like I told you, Hey, Josh, I heard that you were working with law enforcement. I don’t think your reaction would be like, JT, I don’t recall any of this. You would probably be like, what the fuck is going to screw off? You know? No, I don’t know. Hell no, I don’t work with law enforcement. I have no reason to, you know, you would be just, especially by the way someone that is coming from a group or, you know, as the so-called leader have a group that it’s not necessarily applied as group. Right. It’s not like these are a church Boys right. So having a statement as, as simple as I don’t recall this.
2 (6m 8s):
Yeah, yeah. Very, very ambiguous. You know? I mean, it’s, it’s the, it’s his version. That was pretty much saying no comments. And we all know when someone says, no comment is pretty much like, yeah, you did it, you know,
0 (6m 23s):
And again, you know your right. It does, depending on what side of the aisle you kinda stand in. And you know, if it, if it matters on a auto, some people, right. When it comes to, is this a good thing or a bad thing, right. Some might end up seeing they’re like, Hey, how are we should be thinking this guy? Cause possibly he was informing law enforcement to this day law enforcement, excuse me, to this day about, you know, Hey plans at the ProudBoys we’re creating, Hey, this is what they’re trying to do. Hey, just so you guys know, blah, blah, blah, whatever. Right. So if anything, it’s like, dude, that’s great. You know, that he was, he was kinda like informing them. Of course, that doesn’t hold a, a very good credit right. In the streets. Right. And I don’t think rats are a Our as they are they’re dubbed.
0 (7m 5s):
Right. Very much appreciated. But again, I think that it’s going to be, there’s going to be a very big mixed bag, you know, over this now at the end, it could be possible. There is still the possibility that this is all made up information with the means of kind of giving that, you know, the ProudBoys a final, a final stab, right? I’m saying you guys are pretty much already hated by everyone. As you said, you know, earlier and Canada, it’s a re labelled, a terrorist organization and they are not welcome. And you know, it could be a final way of saying, Hey, by the way, and you’re a leader is, is whatever, right. With, again, with the, with the, what the, what the idea of saying, this is how we are going to put it a final, you know, an end to that.
0 (7m 50s):
So you know that that’s the story. There are folks. I mean, I’m, you know, you do tell us what you guys think down below. Umm you know, but
2 (7m 59s):
Yeah. Yeah. Well put it in the comments. I kinda have to have it in my mind that it went down. Something like this, basically like on there, the FBI, you have to be liked the leader of the FBI wherever he is. I’m not a, I don’t know who that is, but anyway, calls up Tarrio and I was just like, you have to go to jail for you. Basically a Trump is basically going to be president. The polls might say that he’s not, but we pretty much know that he was going to be president. What do you need to start a group? You call it whatever you want. You know, don’t worry about that. Just to think about, to put a name, you know, like the Patriot party, you know, something like that. So what, what I want you to do is basically being an old right group, you know, something along the lines of Alex Jones and, and just see, see how far we can push these people to say absolutely horrible and ridiculous things.
2 (8m 52s):
How do you do it? Because like, I didn’t know, you know, I’ve got a lot of this stuff on and he’s like, Hey, you owe us. Yeah. We’ll get you back in the jail. Yeah. We’ll be back in jail. Yeah. So I dunno. I mean, this was all very conspiratorial to not quote me on this. I think about it.
0 (9m 11s):
Yeah. And then a fine yeah. Whatever man, you know, we’ll be proud about it and there you go. There he is
2 (9m 16s):
Go proud off the job. Yeah.
0 (9m 19s):
You got it. Tarrio you got it. Go on and do your bidding. But you know, again, that you said it’s all conspiratorial. I think it’s going to be one of those things that like anything else that we continue evolving and that we’re going to hear some other, other stories. Right. Well I think that’s it for today, right?
2 (9m 37s):
Yeah. That’s it for today.
0 (9m 38s):
Yeah. I’m sorry guys. It feels as if it was a little a doom and gloom, but again, we have to bring you guys and you know, the News so that you guys can, you know, be informed and you know, don’t forget to like subscribe and hit that notification. And until next time, see ya.
