There's a feud between
Kyle Rittenhouse and linwood,
who was the original counsel to
Kyle Rittenhouse until
Kyle Rittenhouse and
his family realized that Linwood.
And his colleague John Pierce were
probably grifters who were just
looking to fundraise off of
Kyle Rittenhouse and the whole
issue that he was involved in.
Now, just to backtrack, I
just want to remind you all of what
Rittenhouse said about Linwood and
how now it's leading to grief
among Q and
honors in regard to how they should
react to Linwood let's watch.
>> Linwood and John Pierce on
August 27 became council.
And they started raising money
and they raised over $2 million
September 5th of 2020.
And they wanted to
fight extradition
with a militia argument.
Which I didn't even know what a
militia was until November 20 when
I got bailed out, but they went on
to say that I was in an unorganized
militia, which is just not true and
they didn't respect my wishes.
And they kept me away from
my family for 87 days and I think I
thank them for raising the money.
But I could have been built out
a lot sooner.
It's in September if they hadn't if
they hadn't kept me in jail.
>> Now, these accusations
by Rittenhouse toward Linwood
has led to a division among Cunanan
conspiracy theorists.
Some of whom still support Linwood,
others who were I don't know,
we love Rittenhouse,
how should we believe right now,
should we stay true to Linwood,
we don't know what to do.
And we're going to get to those
details in just a second because
that's the heart of the story and
the most amusing and
entertaining part.
But before we do,
Linwood did respond to these
accusations by Rittenhouse.
Wood who has discounted Britain
houses complaints told News Nation
that he can't simply hand over
the money to Rittenhouse because it
was raised as part of the charity,
he established
the Fightback Foundation and
he must comply with tax law.
Now let me just note that this
is not an honest individual.
He's very much perpetuating
the lie that the election
was stolen from Donald Trump.
He's a complete maniac.
But he also says that he is open
to using funds to help pay
Rittenhouse's defense bills but
Wood also claimed that his
organization spent $2.7 million on
Rittenhouse's defense before the
teen signed on with new attorneys
take that with grain salt.
But Jang the best part about all of
this is that conspiracy theories
don't know what to do with this new
information.
Some have turned their backs
on Linwood.
Others have decided to
turn their backs on Rittenhouse.
So I'll give you some examples
in just a minute.
But why don't you jump in first.
>> Yeah, don't take it with
a grain of salt.
Take it with a boulder of salt.
A mountain of salt.
You should believe nothing that
Linwood says,
especially that comical statement.
I'm open to giving the $2 million
dollars I raised for his defense.
Yeah, you should be very open to
that because that's what you said,
you were going to give it to your
an unbelievable grifter and
a lunatic at the same time.
[COUGH] And he says by the way,
I already spent $2.7 million
dollars when I was briefly his
counsel on legal fees [LAUGH]
Get out of down total I utter lie.
>> So then all of a sudden Linwood
is panicking and trying to figure
out how can I one up Rittenhouse
with even more lunacy and
more conspiracy theories.
So now he's claiming that stop
the steal.
I mean,
I feel he was pretty much involved
with that campaign, alleging voter
fraud in the presidential election
is a concoction of the deep state.
This is what he said on telegram
after doing the research and
connecting the dots says Linwood,
I have reached the conclusion that
the stop the steal organization
is a deep state organization to
raise money for
purposes other than to fix 2020.
Watch out for anyone affiliated
with stop the steal.
Every lie will be revealed.
And so he turned his back on
Sidney Powell and
others because he feels they didn't
do an adequate job in defending him
against the allegations lodged
against him by Rittenhouse and then
you go to the QAnon influencers and
what they're saying.
QAnon influencer John Sabal better
known as QAnon John posted
a message to his more than 70,000
telegrams subscribers
writing quote not too smart to
scrap where you sleep, Kyle.
So don't worry.
Rest assured Linwood QAnon John is
still on your side.
Then you have another person who
wrote people wake the f up.
This is audio of him lying there in
an interview of Kyle's mom.
I don't know what that means.
You all should listen,
who would want to be in jail for
86 days.
This used plus Kyle is Noah from
Sandy Hook, same nose.
Okay, great we really need to
heavily fund and expand mental
health care in this country and
I'm not saying that as an insult.
I'm saying it because people
are struggling, okay.
And I think this story
is one example of that.
>> Yeah, there's a couple
angles here.
So number one this is grift 101.
The reason why speaking idea stop
the steal while he according to
Rittenhouse seems to
have stolen from Rittenhouse.
So I guess maybe you could call
that start to steal.
Is because what Grifters do now and
you'll see it on the right nonstop,
but now there's people pretending
to be on the left to do the same
grift, which is I'm the only one
you can trust.
I'm the only one you should send
money to.
So I don't know what his financial
connections to stop the steal were
or are, but I can guarantee you now
he's not getting any money from
stop the steal.
If he was getting money from stop
the steal, he would never tell
you to stop giving money to them,
right?
The new defense attorneys for
Rittenhouse according to Linwood I
don't know about that?
I don't know that they should
get any money but me,
I should get all the money because
I'm the only one you can trust.
Okay, grift 101 and so to what
degree is he just a con man and
they're all con men.
Everyone, there's
no honor among thieves.
They're all fighting now, right?
But to what degree is that
a con and
what degree is it that they have?
Very much significant
mental health issues.
I think the answer is a rare.
People love to say this,
it's a cute thing to say online.
They answer is both but
in this case it really is both.
And then and no joke about
the mental health counseling for
the followers.
You try to understand what
they're saying.
They're not at all connected to
the reality based world.
I mean they've lost connection with
reality and
their family members have to help
them before they hurt themselves.
>> Yeah look, honestly, it's
actually really sad and and that's
why I really want to reiterate.
I don't mention the mental health
care as as an insult, I mention it
because I mean the proof is in
the pudding, the fact that people
buy into these conspiracy theories,
all this lunacy that comment that
I read you from a telegram user,
it's.
And if you happen to have a family
member who ends up going through
this rabbit hole and believing all
these conspiracy theories, as
we've said on the show previously,
don't cut them out of your life,
they need you, right?
I'm not saying try to
persuade them.
That also does not yield
the best results, but plant a seed,
be close to them, be warm, be kind.
I think that's the best strategy
in trying to get them
out of that rabbit hole, right?
But cutting them off, I think only
makes the problem worse anyway.
But going back to the fun part of
the story because the fun part does
in fact exist.
There's the Linwood
versus Marjorie Taylor Greene angle
of this, which is awesome.
So Marjorie Taylor Greene
apparently didn't defend Linwood
after Rittenhouse had made these
accusations.
And so Marjorie Taylor Greene
Tweeted this, I told everyone
what a terrible person Lin Wood is,
did you?
And if you watch tucker
Carlson tonight,
you heard Kyle Rittenhouse.
One of the reasons why I think so.
Lin keeping Kyle in jail instead of
bailing him out with
all that money donated for
Kyle is absolutely evil.
So there you have it Marjorie
Taylor Greene with some hot
takes on what she considers evil.
And Linwood is apparently taking
this all in stride,
although he does seem a little
panicky, he says.
Please know that while I'm not
happy with those individuals and
entities engaged in the most recent
false accusations against
me related to my efforts a year
ago for Kyle Rittenhouse.
I forgive them and I pray for them,
they are influenced by the enemy
and know not what they do.
It's just let them fight.
>> Yeah, no, I love it.
>> Are you not entertained?
>> Yeah, it had a gladiator vibe
when you said let them fight.
So look in order to get anyone to
believe anything, especially anyone
in a conspiracy theory world, all I
have to say is the magic words,
connect the dots.
Okay, almost all of them say it
at one point or another.
That's when there are no dots and
they have no logical way
of connecting anything.
So I would argue for
the conspiracy theorists
that you actually not only played
the seat of rationality, but
you can reverse all of these so
easily until they're so
confused where they go, well maybe
reality is actually real, right?
And so because you can connect
the dots in reverse, you could say,
hey, he kept him in jail for
87 days so that he could raise more
money and then he took $2.7
million dollars and put it in his
own pocket, connect the dots.
And you see that was real.
But when you say connect the dots
and conspiracy theorist Michael.
Yeah wait, actually there
are dots there.
I can't connect them.
So just reverse the dots and
maybe that'll work.
Yeah and I'll say one more thing
and about that real quick,
the Marjorie, Taylor Greene's of
the world when Linwood's was
saying all the lunatic things
about the election was stolen,
stuff that's right.
That lunatic who calls himself
a prophet and messiah or whatever.
The other insane things
that he says and they did,
the massive dumps are coming and
the cracking this coming and stuff.
That guy is totally right wait,
he drifted money.
That we could have drifted off.
No, I always said he was terrible.
I always said he was terrible.
Really because it doesn't
seem that way
