Chapter 1: Who is Joseph McBride and what legal battles is he involved in?
All right, guys. Got him back, Joseph McBride, in Vegas today for PowerSlam. Are you ready for tonight? I'm ready, brother. It's going to be a blast. I can't wait. Came here with the Tate brothers, too.
Yeah, we sure did. Flew in yesterday on the jet with the Tate brothers and the Nelk boys. Wow. So it was an experience. That's cool, man.
It's cool to see them back in America because they haven't been here since they were eight years old, I saw, right?
No, they were here a couple of years ago because that's where all the stuff started. But they moved when they were around that age. But American citizens, you know, innocent until proven guilty. We are wrecking the Romanian prosecution. Great team out there. We're working with them on a regular basis. Good team in the UK, great team in the UK.
Chapter 2: How are Andrew and Tristan Tate linked to political controversies?
And of course, we have our defamation lawsuit in Florida. So it was good to see them come home. Very sad to see Ron DeSantis tell two African-American men that they weren't welcome in his state upon their arrival. Unbelievable.
Did you see that coming at all beforehand?
No, we did not. We saw in the weeks that were leading up to them coming home, I think that it was getting out in Romania. And I'm limited as to what I can talk about. But, you know, we were getting some stuff done behind the scenes and we knew that they were going to be leaving. The plan was to come to Florida for a lot of reasons. Trump being president, number one.
Proximity to Mar-a-Lago, number two. Florida is great, number three. Right. So we saw the typical DeSantis influencers begin to pick up their attack against Andrew and Tristan online. And we said, okay, you know, that's the anti-Trump sort of neocon space that was attacking Trump during his bid for the presidency and the primaries and stuff. So fine, a little bit of an online war.
But, you know, we didn't necessarily expect the governor of Florida to say to two American citizens who were returning home, you're not welcome here. It was very 1943 Oklahoma.
Yeah, I can't recall any governor ever doing that publicly, to be honest.
Yeah.
Crazy.
Well, it's backfiring on him big time.

Chapter 3: What role does social media play in political narratives?
And before as a governor, you could not do any interviews, kind of go behind the scenes and get away with stuff. But now with podcasts and long form content, you know, you got to show your hand.
No way to run, no way to hide, baby.
Yeah, it's great. I love it. And with X, the news just cycles so quick now. You can't really hide anything these days.
You can't hide anything. It's great. All the information is there. It's available for digestion. And it's really being left up to the consumer of said information to make a value judgment as to what's valuable, what's not valuable, what I like, what I dislike. And it turns out a lot of people like the truth.

Chapter 4: How does Joseph McBride view international conflicts and Trump's influence?
which I thought was a funny pun. But yeah, look, this stuff with USAID is intense. It's corrupt. You know, there's a point of intersection between USAID and Soros. What's happening in Romania, the persecution of free speech. Andrew Tate, Tristan Tate, what's happening in the UK, the Romanian election. So, you know, it's ugly, but we're getting to the bottom of it.
Yeah, this fraud goes deep. Elon even said on Rogan that if he exposed all of it, they would have him killed. Yeah. That's how deep it goes. Yeah, I believe that. I mean, I could definitely see that. When there's billions of dollars on the line. Probably a lot more than that.
Trillions of dollars. Jeez. And look, they knew this was coming. That's why they tried to put a bullet in Trump's head.
Yeah.
But they failed.
Yeah. Failed multiple times. Yeah. Crazy, man. Yeah. These investigations, I mean, they were funding condoms. Yeah.
$50 million for condoms in Zimbabwe or whatever it is. Look, we get it. Safe sex is good, but especially in areas where they're still dealing with the AIDS epidemic, let's say. But you got to be reasonable. $50 million is not even reasonable for a Diddy party.
Can't even picture how many condoms that is. That's nuts. One of his first executive orders was about the J6ers, right, Trump? Yeah. That must have felt good for you because you were representing some of those guys.
Representing those guys since Ash Wednesday of 2021. So I'm very happy to see that happen. I participated in pioneering the pardon conversation. We always believed that President Trump was going to grant the pardons because he That was the word in the inner circle. That was the word on the street.

Chapter 5: What are the allegations of corruption surrounding foreign aid?
Thousands. Thousands. Some of them were still locked up, right? Some of them were in ISO.
Some of them were still locked up in solitary confinement for a long period of time. And lots of guys who went in and came out are now dealing with the effects of incarceration. We know that mass incarceration to any group of people, if you look at the African-American male population or Latino population, it destroys families, it destroys minds, it destroys opportunity.
People are disenfranchised from being able to participate in voting and certain jobs, gun ownership. And when you're institutionalized and you're in solitary confinement for a long time, it's torture. It changes the actual fabric of your brain. Your brain physically changes from it. It's not just like this ethereal change. There's a physical change that happens to your brain.
So why these guys were pardoned and they don't have to deal with the societal effects of cancellation and not being able to own guns or vote or or work, they still have to deal with the psychological, emotional, and physical effects of being incarcerated wrongfully for that period of time.
Yeah, we talked about this the first time you came on with your brother, right? It ruined him. So I know this resonates for you.
It ruined him. It ruined him and he hasn't gotten any better. So it's sad.
Yeah, that's super sad, man. Did you see what happened with Zachary Aaron Bonfilo, aka Misfit Patriot?
You know, um, is yes. So, um, uh, is, is what happened true?
I mean, it's always there on the police record, right?

Chapter 6: How does the legal system affect political figures?
Yeah, it's going to be interesting. I hope, you know, let's see if they can make that connection. I know Rogan's been busy. Tate's been busy. It would be an epic podcast if that happened, you know. Andrew's controversial. It takes a really, you gotta have a real open mind and be ready to have a constructive debate with somebody who's gonna come at you if you disagree with stuff.
And I hope Joe's ready for that and wants that to happen. And if he does, he should let us know because it would be awesome.
Hell yeah. I saw him on, I think, Full Send podcast. His electronics got seized when he got to Florida? Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah, it's nuts. What the hell?
Yeah. So, you know, touchdown, um, and, uh, Border Patrol, Customs, Homeland Security. Holy crap.
They knew you were coming in.
They knew we were coming in. And, you know, we believe that it was DeSantis who tipped them off, said alleged human traffickers are coming in, seize their phones. Problem is, is that we have what's called a reasonable expectation of privacy under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution to be free from warrantless intrusions by government.
So if they want to stop you and search you and seize your items, they need a warrant, right? The warrant has to be based upon probable cause. Depending on where you are at in the world, your reasonable expectation of privacy is high or low or in the middle. So it's highest when you're in your home, it's pretty low when you're in a car, and it's even lower when you're at the border.
So they're able to do things at the border that doesn't necessarily happen when you're on the street or when you're in your home. So that's why it took advantage of that situation. It was wrong. No warrants have been produced to us. I've reached out. We haven't heard anything about a warrant. We haven't heard anything about finding a probable cause. We haven't heard anything about anything.
I put in the request for the devices to be returned or for the warrants to be produced and for the affidavits of probable cause that were produced to a neutral and detached magistrate. They say, hey, where'd you get probable cause from? These guys haven't been in the country for several years. Tell us what the facts are. And if the warrant is legit, then fine.

Chapter 7: What are the personal effects of incarceration on individuals?
Holy crap.
Yeah, so I think he got out, and he's supposed to re-register again today. I'm not sure if he was able to or if they jailed him again. But it's corruption. It's deep state stuff out there. Deep state is real. The matrix is real. I think we all know that at this point. And it's just a matter of how long will this go on before, More countries like Hungary and Italy say, look, enough is enough. Yeah.
How does it say, man?
What's going on in the UK? They opened up a case too out there?
In the UK, you can go to jail for a tweet right now. You can. I've heard that. You can get 10 years. Wow. Look at what they did to Tommy Robinson. You know, they used the calendar as a proxy to lock him up. They lock up people who pray in front of abortion clinics or pastors or preachers or priests around the street.
Some old senior citizen the other day got years in jail for speaking out against the government. So do they want Andrew and Tristan there to be able to prosecute them for mean tweets? Of course they do.
You have a couple grifting attorneys, a bunch of nobodies, just real low-hanging, low-level people out in the UK who have made it their life's work to go after Andrew and Tristan by resurrecting old allegations from years ago that these guys are alleged to have done something.
Anytime you are accused of a crime that involves like rape or sex trafficking or anything like that in the UK, the law enforcement, the police take everybody's phones. So they took the phones of the accusers way back when and just by going through the phones realized that there was a plot to extort them. So they dismissed the case. They said, we're not gonna prosecute this. This is in bad faith.
He's trying to resurrect those claims and some other things because he's got nothing better to do with his life. It's unfortunate. It's wrong. There's also a few videos floating around the Internet. People alleging that Andrew, you know, had a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old from Slovakia debunked. The woman herself said that she was 18 or older at the time when she left Slovakia.

Chapter 8: How have public figures like Roger Stone influenced McBride's work?
What's next for you, man?
Well, right now we're just focused on the Andrew and Tristan situation. I have a consulting company that we recently started called Power Dynamic Strategies. I have a friend and a partner with that. Widely known in the crypto world as Leo. He is from he's an American lawyer who now lives in Dubai. He's in background with me on the take case.
So we're doing some heavy consulting work, both domestically and internationally. I've been in the e-commerce space for a while. I sit on the board, and I'm a partner at a company called Wholesale Universe out of Texas. That's going well. So it's been a bit of entrepreneurial work, investments.
We've got about four or five companies now, my wife and I, over the past three years, and we're just really trying to diversify what we do.
to increase our impact on the world, to generate as much wealth for our children as we can going forward, and to continue to fight for freedom and for justice, whether it be for Andrew and Tristan Tate, or the Muslim, Jew, or Christian, or atheist who wants to have their voice heard in the free marketplace of ideas. without being canceled.
And of course, we're going to continue to support President Trump and everything that he's tried to accomplish in this administration. And we're interested to see who's going to be the next front runner in 28. I think that really election season, the conversation for that has to start soon. Whoever it's going to be, I think that the pick should be clear, whether it's J.D. Vance or Don Jr.
I know there's some people who like Tulsi as well. I think any one of those people would be great. I think J.D. Vance, what he's doing right now is absolutely phenomenal. I know Don Jr. personally. I think he'd be great for the job. I'm a big fan of Tulsi Gabbards as well. So I think we need to figure out who that person is going to be and get behind them very early.
and get assurances from whoever that person is going to be that they're going to carry the mission into the future. We don't need somebody who's going to undo or not carry out the America First and the Trump agenda going forward. So we're excited, obviously, and we're happy to have Andrew and Tristan back. You know, it's just no retreat, no surrender. You know, you've won many battles.
The war still rages on. And until the victory for free speech is absolute, we're going to continue to fight.
