Hi, I'm Jack Cottarola with the Bullwork, and I will be joining y'all on weekends, Saturday, Sunday, sometimes during the week going forward, hopefully if Tim doesn't fire me. But I thought we would kick off. Watch out. We'd kick off this inaugural episode by talking about someone who we love to hate so dearly, and that is Jesse Waters over at what I think we can only call the Fox propaganda outlets. Before we get to Jesse, I do just want to say I'm thrilled to have you on the Bullwark channel, and it is important to notice that note though that you will be ghetto as to the weekends. I know you kind of threw in the week, but it's kind of like, some of us don't want to work on the weekends. And so it's important that you do weekends. It is possible that I might stick around for other stuff, but we'll see.

But Jesse Waters, who works for a news outlet that defends itself in court by saying it's entertainment and essentially propaganda for the president, which Jesse admitted the other day, has gotten itself into some hot water because Jesse has been bringing on a special guest.

0:52.6

He wants you to think that there are multiple guests, but they might be the same guest. Because lately, we've been checking in a special guest. He wants you to think that they're multiple guests,

0:54.5

but they might be the same guest. Because lately we've been checking in with Antifa.

And so Jesse needs to throw to a former member of this dangerous organization of T-Rex costume

1:06.0

wearing vigilantes.

1:08.0

One battle after another.

1:09.0

It really is. Great. Child to PTA. But we saw a little bit of

1:12.9

controversy that I want to get into both with an article kind of detailing this weird reappearing

1:17.9

guest for Jesse and his really bad acting. Now you're saying reappearing. Are you a facial

1:22.9

recognition scientist? Have you used AI or Palantir? You can be the judge because we'll see.

1:29.0

Fox News is Jesse Waters has come under fire in recent days over a recent interview with a

1:33.4

mass man who he claims to be an Antifa whistleblower with media observers and critics like us,

1:39.5

speculating that the guest also posed as an ex-Mexican mafia member for a 2023 segment. Wow, throwback.

1:47.2

While online speculation has gone into overdrive that the two men are the same guy, and many

1:51.9

have even claimed the man who purportedly shot Osama bin Laden was the person behind the mask.

1:56.8

It seems maybe it's unlikely, but I think if we look at this clip, we can tell.

2:00.3

I'll tell you, I've been watching this on social media go past, and this is why we bring you in, because I see these posts. I'm just like, I've got to keep scrolling. I've got other things. No care at all. But let's tune in with our guy. You know, mostly recruiting, working with youth, getting, you know, and just going out, spitting out the message.

2:20.7

I saw that he had allegedly stated that one of his motives or reasons was to support Black Lives

2:29.2

Matter.

2:30.1

Okay, so that's all that we need to hear from that guy or guys.

2:33.0

Well, the working with youth is something that I want to sit on there. Working with the youth? That's what you do, Tim. And I do over the FYPod. It's like you're in Antifa. What were you doing? Mostly recruiting and working with youth. With the youth. Doing what with the youth? Exactly. Did they have like a program? Like an after school, like kind of a big brother, little brother type of thing? They were playing dodgeball after. I do want to give a shout out to Decoding Fox News who cut these clips together because, of course, that was from 2023, but the accents, the accents, the voices, the whatever it was, little, eh, familiar is. The accent was different. But it sounded like bad voice acting to me. It didn't. It didn't sound great. The other thing was like the Mexican, the allegedly Mexican gang member. Sounded more, not Mexican gang member than the Antifa guy. And also, like, why did he have a Mexican accent? I thought the point was that he'd been in jail for a long time and then the Mexican gang recruited him.
