Andrew and Tristan have been deposed, the wrongful accuser has been deposed, other people have been deposed. We were supposed to go on with that process and go to trial in about six months. That, of course, has been delayed, because Sean, if we win that case, and we have a damn good chance that we will, if we do, then the entire narrative against Andrew and Tristan blows apart. So the United Kingdom is doing everything it can do to stop that from happening. Ron DeSantis had, as we say, egg on his face. He looked like the complete midget moron that he is, and he's had an ax to grind ever since. I've spoken to many people in Washington and Palm Beach, in Tallahassee and in Miami, and this guy's fingerprints are all over it. That Andrew and Tristan are pawns in a much higher political game, and sure, they're going to serve them up to the UK, but the decision as to whether or not to extradite them, which is a Rubio-Trump decision, is what they're trying to force to make it hard for Trump.
**Sean Kelly** (1:00)
Okay, guys, Joseph McBride back on the show. We actually had this scheduled for a while now before the recent Tate arrest, but it's good to see you again, Joseph.
**Joseph McBride** (1:08)
It's good to see you, brother. You know, glad to be here. Wish it were under different circumstances.
**Sean Kelly** (1:14)
Yeah, I wish it was on better terms, man. Was this totally unexpected for you when you got the call about all this?
**Joseph McBride** (1:19)
Completely unexpected. Andrew and Tristan have been traveling the world for three years without incidents.
And every now and again, we'll go into a country and they'll have a question about this outstanding TACA warrants, which is a warrant from the European Union. And we explain the situation, they pull relevant documents, we give them whatever we carry on us. And they say, oh yeah, you guys are telling the truth and you let us go.
So, but you know, this time something more nefarious, something more foul is at play. And that's evidenced by the fact that my guys have been in solitary confinement for the past, what day is today? The past 11 days.
**Sean Kelly** (1:56)
Yeah, 29th.
**Joseph McBride** (1:57)
Yeah.
**Sean Kelly** (1:57)
It's crazy because last time he came into Florida, when you got Andrew on my podcast, I think he got arrested that time, right? What's like a year ago or so?
**Joseph McBride** (2:05)
So he wasn't arrested. What happened is when they arrived, Ron DeSantis got on stage and spoke about them in very ignorant fashion. I don't even think that he realized that they are American citizens. So he gave this big speech about how Andrew and Tristan were not welcome here, meaning Florida, and how that they were going to open up an investigation, how DeSantis and James Uthmeyer, the state attorney general, were going to investigate them and see what hooks that they can get into them to make their life hell. We of course mocked him and wiped the floor with him because of that. Andrew and Tristan had shown up here in South Florida for the specific purpose of number one, participating in the defamation lawsuit that we're litigating in Palm Beach and number two, to conduct business because they need to make money. So Ron DeSantis had, as we say, egg on his face, he looked like the complete midget moron that he is, and he's had an axe to grind ever since.
I've spoken to many people in Washington and Palm Beach, in Tallahassee and in Miami, and this guy's fingerprints are all over it.
**Sean Kelly** (3:18)
Wow. That's crazy. Yeah. When he came on the show, he was very outspoken about him. I wonder if that ticked him off.
**Joseph McBride** (3:24)
Yeah. DeSantis, he's got Napoleon complex for obvious reasons.
**Sean Kelly** (3:29)
That's crazy. This guy's running for president next election.
**Joseph McBride** (3:33)
He doesn't have a chance in hell. Never have.
**Sean Kelly** (3:36)
That's nuts.
Yeah. I canceled my trip to the UK, man. I'm just seeing so many scary things. I'm having Russell Brand on soon. It's just like, I don't even want to be part of the stuff going on out there.
**Joseph McBride** (3:46)
Yeah. Don't go if you don't have to go. It's not a free country.
The United Kingdom is formerly the greatest empire the world has ever known, and it has falling into this just degenerate state. It has just been decomposing and reverting into some feminists run, communists, socialists, group think, double think, dystopian state where they've made a criminal to be a free thinking man. So if you don't have to go, don't go because you'll risk your liberty if you do.
