In this episode, we talk about the Supreme Court, inflation, the economy, and congressional redistricting. Plus, we have a special guest on the show to discuss all of this and much more! Shout out to our sponsor, Freedom Tunes!
00:01:33.000I will tell you this, if you're the president of the United States, and dude who complains on internet has been warning about food shortages for a year now, and y'all didn't do anything to prepare for this, Well then, you know, what am I supposed to say?
00:01:46.000Am I supposed to be like, it's not Biden's fault all this is happening?
00:01:49.000You know, even I recognized this a year ago.
00:03:59.000Look, you can always complain about Maryland politics.
00:04:01.000The Democrats here are absolutely insane, whether they're on a state, local, or federal level.
00:04:05.000In my county, they removed school resource officers from public schools, thinking that would make students safer.
00:04:11.000We then had the first ever school shooting, which I covered when I was a journalist up until last month at the Free Beacon.
00:04:16.000This policy is such a disaster that even Democrats in Montgomery County said, whoa, whoa, maybe we're going to put school resource officers back because that actually makes students less safe, having them in there.
00:04:26.000We got a lot to talk about in terms of that, so before we get started, head over to timcast.com and in the top right you will see a sign up button.
00:04:33.000Click that button, sign up, become a member, and I'll tell you why.
00:04:36.000As a member you're supporting our journalists, our op-ed writers, and you will get access to exclusive segments from this show.
00:04:42.000We'll have a special segment up at 11 p.m.
00:04:46.000Members only is not particularly family friendly, so you've been worn a lot of swearing and Adult conversations about, you know, stuff that you two probably wouldn't be happy with, and you probably don't want your kids to listen to anyway.
00:04:56.000But there's another reason why I should become a member.
00:04:59.000We recently switched over all of our hosting to Rumble's infrastructure because we need to do two things.
00:05:05.000We need to get away from the censorious platforms of Silicon Valley and big tech.
00:05:09.000That's the real first reason we were like, we better get on Rumble because they will try to ban us.
00:05:14.000However, it also means that we are creating competition for Silicon Valley by using Rumble service, by using their video player for our members only, by using their cloud service for our website.
00:05:24.000And we have big news coming up about future infrastructure changes.
00:05:28.000As a member, you are helping businesses that are on alternative infrastructure.
00:05:33.000So it's all just one more grain of sand in that heap, making sure that this new technology, this new tech sector, can grow and compete with the censorious lunatics of Silicon Valley.
00:05:45.000But don't forget, you can also smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, and share the URL to this show, or share the show wherever you can right now.
00:05:52.000Grassroots marketing is amazingly powerful.
00:05:55.000And we've spent zero dollars on marketing this show up until this point.
00:06:00.000We've got something happening at the end of the month, and we're going to do a bunch of silly and fun things.
00:06:04.000As I mentioned, the culture jamming is marketing.
00:06:06.000And it's all thanks to you guys who watch the show and as members.
00:06:21.000It's like unquestionably illegal to do this because free speech is, or I should say, justice is more important than free speech.
00:06:30.000So we basically The idea from the Founding Fathers and in precedent is you can have your free speech, but courts need to adjudicate.
00:06:38.000And if you try to protest, picket, parade, or whatever in front of a member of the court's home in an effort to intimidate or change those proceedings, you are committing a crime.
00:07:23.000So I know that there's an outrage right now, I guess, about protests that have been peaceful to date, and we certainly continue to encourage that outside of judges' homes, and that's the president's position.
00:07:35.000The president's position is to encourage peaceful protests outside of judges' homes.
00:07:41.000Okay, well, I'm just gonna, real quick, I'm gonna read the law, alright?
00:07:48.0001507, whoever with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding The administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent, uses any sound truck or similar device, or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year or both,
00:08:22.000Nothing in this section shall interfere with or prevent the exercise by any court of the United States of its power to punish for contempt.
00:08:29.000It quite literally says any other demonstration.
00:08:32.000Now look, I'm not saying these people protesting should get felony charges and life in prison.
00:08:36.000I'm saying when you engage in non-violent civil disobedience, we recognize you're going to get arrested for it.
00:09:52.000It doesn't matter if it's an intimidation or not.
00:09:54.000It literally says, influence the court.
00:09:56.000Influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer.
00:09:59.000If you go outside of a court and you try to influence the judge, juror, witness, or court officer, you get in trouble for it.
00:10:04.000This is only in relates to, like, physical buildings being outside?
00:10:07.000Because, like, if you try and influence them through the internet, like, create a campaign of mass people emailing or something, that's legal.
00:10:14.000Well, this is specifically picketing or parading, and it says, any other demonstration.
00:10:18.000Yo, I'm just saying, I don't think it's the apocalypse.
00:10:21.000I think they definitely shouldn't go to people's homes.
00:10:24.000But I just think, when you get to the point where the January 6th trespassers, not the rioters, the rioters I get, you arrest those guys, but the people who had the doors opened, who have been locked up in solitary for like six months to a year or longer, some of these people, and then it turns out the judge is like, oh, the cops let you in, you're case dismissed.
00:10:42.000The boot that comes down on the people on the right for basically what is a very similar law versus the people who repeatedly and continually do this and then are encouraged to do it by the president, the disparity in law enforcement is absolutely insane.
00:10:59.000Yeah, I don't want to assume, but I would imagine that if there was another law being considered and that it was something Joe Biden wanted to get passed and people were protesting outside judges, they'd have referenced this immediately and went and arrested them all.
00:11:11.000I don't know, but that's the feeling of this partisanry.
00:11:24.000And not only that, but it wouldn't simply be the case that they would get arrested.
00:11:29.000They would start digging through tweets from conservative politicians who said that they were against this potential decision and tried to charge them with insurrection.
00:11:37.000And we would never, ever hear the end of it.
00:11:47.000They tried to like frame it as a vigil, which is like a silent thing where you're standing vigil at night, you're keeping an eye out and scouting and you're quiet while you're doing it.
00:11:55.000But if they're making noise outside their houses, it's just a full on protest.
00:11:59.000This is actually just a continuation of the Biden 2020 campaign, right, where they said, OK, every illegal immigrant can come across and get free health care.
00:12:11.000During the 2020 campaign, as you guys were talking about this week, they bailed out rioters in Minnesota, including rapists and pedophiles.
00:12:19.000So it's not a surprise that they're encouraging lawlessness themselves here.
00:13:40.000I believe in leeway for nonviolent civil disobedience.
00:13:44.000But you at least expect there to be some upholding the law.
00:13:47.000So at what point Do people just say, there's no point to engage with the system, negotiate with, collaborate with, or even consider?
00:13:58.000It would probably be starv- if there's a mass starvation.
00:14:01.000It would be like a desperation thing if something like that were to happen.
00:14:04.000I just mean, like, what happens if people stop participating in national-level politics in any sense, because they're like, this is pointless?
00:14:10.000That's kind of the point, that's why we have representatives.
00:14:12.000Well, look, look, here's what I want to say.
00:14:14.000With Roe v. Wade, as soon as these judges got in, you saw a bunch of red states start passing these abortion restrictions.
00:14:22.000And the left was saying, you know, this is illegal, it violates precedent, you can't do this.
00:14:27.000But the states were like, we're gonna do it anyway.
00:14:29.000We've continually seen this throughout the past couple of years, where red states and blue states just do whatever they want, regardless of the federal government.
00:14:36.000It is kind of the impetus of the United States to say, hey man, if King George was doing whatever he wanted, we were like, yeah, we're gonna do what we want.
00:14:58.000When it comes to sanctuary cities, or decriminalization of certain drugs that are completely fine defying the federal government, but if you do so to protect unborn children, then that's illegal and they don't have any respect for our political process.
00:15:19.000The issue right now... Everything keeps looping back to the Roe v. Wade thing, because that's what this protest is about.
00:15:26.000But it's conservatives are like, states should have the ability to choose, and if blue states want to pass unrestricted abortion, well, then that's their state's right.
00:15:35.000That's literally what the argument is right now.
00:15:37.000There are conservatives obviously saying it should be banned outright, but right now in politics, they're like, return it to the state legislatures!
00:15:43.000And the left is like, no, red states should be forced to allow abortion.
00:15:48.000At what point do people just say like, dude, we're not going to participate with you anymore and we're going to do whatever we want.
00:16:08.000This government isn't here to represent you.
00:16:10.000It's here to force the ideological whims of a small minority of this country onto you.
00:16:15.000It's the purpose of the political system at this point.
00:16:17.000The irony of that, though, and I'll harken back to this a lot over the course of my campaign, is the Democratic Party is literally being run from people's basements and from their living rooms.
00:16:26.000The government is not being run in person.
00:16:28.000This was one of the stories that I wrote at the Free Beacon.
00:16:30.000I walked all around the Capitol for about 11 miles, walking and just simply taking pictures and taking videos,
00:16:36.000pulling on doorknobs of the Democrats' health committee, which is closed to prevent the spread of germs,
00:17:06.000They're trying to force conformity, but they're also hiding from accountability, because if you have a problem with how your Democratic member of Congress, like the guy I'm running against, David Trone, you literally can't access him.
00:17:16.000You go to his offices, and this is true of Democrats around the country.
00:17:19.000There's literally mail just piling up.
00:17:50.000But honestly, I mean, let's use the best technology we have to communicate the fastest and most efficient way possible, in my opinion, and these people are still sending letters.
00:17:57.000Yeah, but you need to be able to talk to your representative.
00:18:33.000I don't like the idea of Zoom government.
00:18:36.000I don't like the idea That they don't need to look you in the eyes and shake your hand and know you have stood before them in their physical space and said, I live here and here's what I expect from you.
00:18:49.000Like the king used to take court where people would come in for several hours a day and he'd be, oh, so bored just listening to the problems.
00:18:54.000Be like, okay, yeah, you get the money.
00:19:20.000I mean, you can have a conversation, It just, it's not the same.
00:19:24.000You can't, it's not the same, but you can.
00:19:26.000I had one with Michael Malice a couple weeks ago, episode 203 of You're Welcome, and it was amazing, amazing to have a chance to talk to Michael for an hour.
00:19:36.000But I think part of it is the fact that you two agree or it wasn't going to be a hostile conversation.
00:19:41.000If you're having a conversation with someone you disagree with, it's much easier to operate in bad faith and to just try to get dunks and smacks in if you're communicating with them digitally rather than face to face.
00:19:51.000Part of it is the way the audio doesn't translate, it's binary, so if I speak while you're speaking, one of them cuts out.
00:19:56.000There's a reason why, in my opinion, whenever we try and get prominent left personalities on the show, they always say, I'll do it on Zoom.
00:20:04.000And it's because what they're going to do is, once we bring them on the show and go live, they're going to cut out and it's going to be someone else.
00:20:11.000That's what they've done, and that's what they want to do.
00:20:17.000And so there have been a few people who have agreed to come on this show that we've had on the show from prominent left influencers.
00:20:23.000But all these other ones are like, hey, why don't I just do it digitally?
00:20:26.000And I'm like, because we've seen what you guys do when you do these things digitally.
00:20:30.000I'll point out as an aside, it shouldn't be Zoom if we do this.
00:20:32.000It should be an open source, non-proprietary, so like Jitsi or Element Matrix or something like that.
00:20:37.000But to add to your point, yeah, man, there's definitely a risk involved.
00:20:41.000But when it's, it's like, if you need to listen to a bunch of people from around the country, It makes more sense, I think, to do it, to telecommute it, than to make them all fly out to D.C.
00:23:17.000If dude on internet complaining can talk about the food shortages, and the president could not do anything to plan for or alleviate this, then either he is completely incapable of doing anything about it, and he should probably say that, I can't do anything, sorry, you're out of food.
00:23:32.000Or he just didn't do what he could have done because he's incompetent, and he could have done something about it.
00:23:38.000Now let me show you what we're dealing with.
00:24:30.000Of course he wouldn't, because it's not true.
00:24:33.000The reality is Joe Biden is just really bad at what he does.
00:24:35.000And also, if there's nothing they can do about it, they at least have a responsibility to try to warn the American people so that they can prepare on their own.
00:24:41.000I understand that's difficult because there's an argument to be made certain people are going to start panicking, but people should at least know so that they have a fighting chance.
00:24:49.000I just think it's funny that when I do the shout outs for safe and ready meals, the emergency food stuff, which is like, you know, it's been kind of a lot in these past several months.
00:24:57.000It is a weird phenomena among urban liberals where they mock the idea of buying emergency supplies.
00:25:03.000And now how many of them are going to the store and they're like, oh, there's no food, no food.
00:25:08.000I get really bothered when they blame the pandemic for this stuff, because I feel like it was the response to the pandemic, however you want to define that, the response to the virus, the shutdown that really caused this, not the virus itself.
00:25:19.000People responded in a way where they shut down businesses across the world for like a year.
00:25:58.000Well, this is, it's so typical though, right?
00:26:00.000Because... Alright, so for a very long time, the left's argument was, if you cut even one penny of social welfare spending, People are going to die, you monster.
00:26:12.000And then they said, yeah, we could just shut down the entire economy for like a year and a half.
00:26:16.000No one's going to get hurt if we do that.
00:26:18.000Well, now we're starting to see in a much more plain way, the ramifications of that.
00:26:23.000And it's going to get really ugly and they're never going to take responsibility for this.
00:26:28.000They're going to claim that this was just because of COVID and ignore the fact that it was their insane disproportionate response to it, which failed to take into account the unintended consequences.
00:27:05.000I just want to mention, this is, and it's insane to even have to explain this, right, but this is a consequence of putting people in charge of making decisions who will pay literally no price if those decisions turn out to be a disaster for somebody else, or if the effects of those decisions turn out to be a disaster for everybody else.
00:27:23.000Matthew was just explaining how these Democrats' offices are all closed.
00:27:27.000They're literally on vacation, not doing their jobs.
00:27:31.000How much do you want to bet people like Swalwell, he's going to be at a Capitol Grill in D.C.
00:27:36.000or some Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, and then he's talking and they're laughing and he's like, He's like, waiter, another bottle of the Dom, please.
00:27:45.000And then his phone goes, his watch goes, brrm.
00:27:47.000And he goes, oh, I better tweet so people think that I'm actually involved in politics.
00:27:51.000Republicans want to ban interracial marriage.
00:28:01.000I have a great example of that, actually.
00:28:03.000Sean Patrick Maloney, who is a Democrat in New York, who chairs the House Democrats Campaign Committee, he went to France for a wedding at a billionaire's chateau.
00:28:13.000And while he was there, he said, mask up.
00:28:56.000Instead, he made it seem like, oh, oh, you know, just like own it, dude.
00:29:00.000You know, look, if you want to go on vacation, I got no problem with that.
00:29:03.000What do you think your federally elected representative is going to do for these local issues?
00:29:07.000I certainly think it would have been better if he was there for his constituents.
00:29:11.000But I think the bigger issue I have with him is, Republicans aren't the ones screaming about youth wearing masks and not traveling.
00:29:18.000It's the left who is saying, you know, travel should be restricted and you should wear a mask and do all these things.
00:29:22.000So when Gavin Newsom says everybody has to wear a mask and then goes to that, you know, French restaurant not wearing a mask, we're like, hypocrite.
00:29:29.000When Ted Cruz is like, if he was just like, I'm going on vacation, I'd be like, oh, okay, well, I guess, sure.
00:29:34.000Instead, he's just like, oh, it was my daughters and I'm coming back.
00:29:39.000You make me think about how you were just talking before the show about the crack kits.
00:30:46.000And then the best part was when these left-wing groups, when they said there's no crack pipes, left-wing groups came out and they were like, why are you taking the crack pipes?
00:30:55.000And I'm just like, dude, if they came out and said, yes, there are crack pipes in the crack safe smoking kits.
00:31:02.000Because they're clean and we're trying to limit the spread of disease.
00:31:05.000Then when someone says, don't you think supplying these could increase the amount of, like, increase the likelihood someone does smoke crack?
00:31:15.000I want to touch on that, though, for a second.
00:31:17.000So these are government-funded crack pipes, and one of them—so I went to three locations, one in D.C., one in Baltimore, and one in Richmond.
00:31:25.000None of them have any effort at prevention of saying, you know, maybe don't do this.
00:31:29.000The Richmond one, actually, when we went there with my colleague, he and I got there.
00:31:37.000And they saw two of us walking up and they said, well, we only have one more crack pipe, but we can give you guys meth pipes and also cocaine snorting kits.
00:31:47.000And we said, sure, we will take these things.
00:32:39.000It was a fact check where he said, oh yeah, 60% of college debt is held by graduate, you know, people with graduate degrees.
00:32:46.000And PolitiFact said it was fake news, but the source from DeSantis was the Poynter Institute, which is like the parent company of PolitiFact or something like that.
00:33:31.000And then after it was proven true that literally Joke Arts Arnaev received a $1,400 stimmy, they then said, oh, this is still one Pinocchio.
00:34:27.000And the reason this freaks them out so much, like you mentioned just a moment ago with the fact checkers, they need as much control over the narrative as possible.
00:34:35.000And what Trump did, it used to be the journalists would get the statement from the politician and then choose how to report it.
00:34:42.000And if you were a politician And you said something like, we'll play the game, you'll be talking to a reporter and you'll be like, I had one guy come up to me and say, I don't like, I don't like eating cheeseburgers.
00:34:56.000And I thought it was a crazy thing to hear.
00:34:59.000Then the newspaper article quote, I don't like cheeseburgers, says politician.
00:35:04.000And the only thing you can do is say they're lying.
00:35:20.000Remember one time he actually posted the full video of an interview he did that he said was going to be selectively edited, so he just released the entire interview before they could get the ratings from it?
00:35:48.000That's part of why I'm very surprised when anyone does sit down with these interviewers, especially people on the right.
00:35:54.000I can't imagine doing something like that unless you'd recorded it or were recording it and have the right to release the footage and sort of discuss that with them.
00:36:02.000It's insane to allow them to filter you.
00:36:05.000Yeah, you gotta have access to the media.
00:36:26.000If you're in Maryland, the Maryland State Police, at the request of the Carroll County Sheriffs, have issued an AMBER Alert for nine-year-old Savannah Rosetta Nicole Heaton, a white female.
00:36:35.000The child's clothing description is unknown.
00:36:37.000The child was last observed at approximately 6 p.m.
00:36:39.000in the Westminster area of Carroll County.
00:36:41.000The child may also be in the Baltimore area.
00:36:45.000Well, I don't... Thank you for pointing that out.
00:37:16.000Well, that's why shows like this, shows like Rogan, are such a threat to journalists.
00:37:19.000And you really saw this with the coordinated assault on Joe Rogan in particular, because he is the most listened to person in the Northern Hemisphere, right?
00:37:28.000He, his show was displaced recently from the number one spot.
00:39:21.000If you are on the left, most likely you have not heard the right-wing argument and you have not engaged with them.
00:39:26.000I would tell you, I think what they think the right-wing argument is, is that, and I don't want to derail the conversation in religion, but it's that Jesus' mother got impregnated by a ghost.
00:40:51.000And that's the argument they've been using for Roe v. Wade, because they've never actually asked a pro-lifer what's their position.
00:40:56.000They then say on Twitter, Republicans are engaged in fake outrage.
00:41:00.000I look at that, and I'm like, that's really weird, because, you know, we talk to so many people on the right on this show, we've heard their arguments articulated.
00:41:09.000We've heard the left articulate their arguments, but their arguments are based on not knowing what the right's arguments are, and they don't come on the show.
00:41:16.000Shout out to Daryl Davis, who we had on the show.
00:41:19.000A lot of people were not happy with things he had to say, but he did say something very important.
00:42:04.000I walk over to the leftist side, where they're all protesting, and I saw people standing around, and I walked over and was like, I was like, hey, how's it going, guys?
00:42:11.000Then all of a sudden, someone yells, Mike, check!
00:42:13.000And then the entire group goes, Mike, check!
00:42:15.000And they go, do not, do not, everyone repeats it, talk to, talk to anyone, anyone, they will try, they will try to confuse you, to confuse you.
00:42:28.000And then I was like, Does anybody want to tell me what to do?
00:42:48.000Mobs, for sure, are near impossible to communicate with of any mindset.
00:42:52.000But if you just get a one-on-one conversation with two people, one from the left and one from the right, I think that if you come to a middle ground, the religion might be part of it.
00:43:01.000I certainly think so for some people, that they don't understand.
00:43:05.000But the core is, they don't understand.
00:43:08.000So I was in Berkeley after one of the big protests, and I was standing on a street corner filming, and I was talking to some guy, when a leftist woman came up and started pushing back on the things that were being said.
00:43:20.000So I turn around, holding my camera, and she started saying things.
00:43:48.000So do you think if like a woman wore provocative clothing and was walking down this alley and she got attacked by some guy because of the way she looked, that's her fault too?
00:44:01.000And then after I was like, well, thank you and have a nice day.
00:44:04.000She walks away and about a minute later, she comes back and says, delete that footage, delete it.
00:44:08.000And I was like, I'm standing on a public street and you talk to me, I'm going to use it.
00:44:12.000Now, I don't try to dox people or anything, so I blurred her face.
00:44:15.000Because the idea is what's most important.
00:44:18.000I don't need people going after this random woman who was talking to me on the street.
00:44:20.000The point was, when this woman from the protest was by herself, and decided to speak up, she had no idea what her positions were, and she actually agreed with blaming women who get assaulted for the way they dress.
00:44:33.000The video's on my TimCast channel somewhere, you can find it.
00:44:49.000During Occupy Wall Street, when they would go, ah, auntie, Antica Pitalista.
00:44:55.000And then I saw a guy, and he's going, bah, dagay, abida nida bisto.
00:45:01.000And I was like, hey, what are you chanting?
00:45:02.000He was like, oh, I just, you know, I don't know.
00:45:05.000I'm like, you don't know what you're saying.
00:45:06.000Nobody knew what was being chanted except for the organizers.
00:45:10.000So when they're screaming anti-capitalist, and these other people who just showed up because they saw it on social media or the news, and they're just muttering and mumbling, that's my experience with these protests.
00:45:22.000It's like they're going to church and just trying to follow the guy's teachings without knowing what he's saying.
00:45:26.000I think that's unfair, because having also been to churches, the people have books where they can read the words as they're being said.
00:45:35.000Churches are much more organized, that's for sure.
00:45:37.000I developed this theory when I was in college.
00:45:39.000I went to the University of Chicago where Bernie Sanders went, and there's a famous picture of him getting arrested protesting as a college student.
00:45:47.000He looks exactly the same as he does now.
00:45:49.000And he was protesting the school had segregated housing, and so he was arrested protesting this.
00:45:54.000and that's a good thing to protest. Now the problem is for students who are there now,
00:45:58.000there's nothing on that level of things to protest about, but they still want to get that photo of
00:46:04.000them being arrested. So the president of the University of Chicago, the student president,
00:46:08.000when I was there one year, he chained himself to a building in downtown Chicago because he was
00:46:12.000demanding, right after Trump won, he was demanding that our Democratic senators Dick Durbin and Tammy
00:46:16.000Duckworth vote against the confirmation of Betsy DeVos for education secretary, which they did,
00:46:21.000and they were always going to do. He got arrested, he got the photo, he literally looks like a limp
00:46:25.000noodle. So it's not like, you know, Bernie was looking resolute, this guy looks totally pathetic.
00:46:29.000He gets arrested, held overnight, and then I hear him the next day telling his leftist activist
00:46:34.000friends about this, and I said to him, oh this sounds a lot like white privilege, you just got
00:46:38.000arrested and just you're completely back out on the street next week, or the next day, and he said,
00:46:49.000That's all they care about, is getting that Instagram story, the Instagram infographic.
00:46:52.000So being there in that protest is what matters, not actually what they're saying.
00:46:56.000So I remember we talk about the algorithmic problem on YouTube where Hitler was doing Tai Chi with the Incredible Hulk because people were just trying to find ways to make viral content.
00:47:08.000Because of politics, the virality of it, because of COVID and because of politics as pop culture, we are now seeing young people Claiming to be strategists or involved in politics because they know it is a path to virality.
00:47:25.000So there's this guy who's going viral now with a bunch of videos where he just like looks at the camera all angry and furled and he's like, it is a violation of federal law to commit perjury!
00:49:51.000I worked at the House Republican Super PAC before this, so Iowa's congressional delegation is Marionette Miller-Meeks, Cindy Axne, the lone Democrat, Ashley Hinson, and Randy Feenstra.
00:50:01.000Cindy Axne is the lone Democrat representing the state of Iowa.
00:50:04.000Her office in Des Moines is completely closed to her constituents, just as I reported at the Free Beacon.
00:50:10.000Those are the four members of Congress from Iowa.
00:50:13.000Name the member of Congress who represents this district we're in.
00:51:12.000It's a race from some of these people to become, to make news so that they become famous so that they get Twitter followers on their personal account.
00:51:19.000And that becomes just about sensationalism.
00:51:24.000Most members of Congress you've never heard of.
00:51:26.000Yeah, but I think that there's an incentive for people to go kind of haywire and make a big splash in a scene and like spectacle so that they get famous so that they have a parachute in case they leave Congress.
00:51:35.000Here's a great example of that is Jamie Raskin in Maryland who's always on MSNBC.
00:51:48.000When I went in the middle of the day, there was a note jammed in the doorframe from someone who tried to access their representative and said, Hey, Congressman Raskin, you know, I'd like to meet with your office about something.
00:53:26.000Well, now it's a Republican district, and you guys have never heard of the Democrat, David Trone, right there, who represents this place because he literally does not show up for work.
00:53:34.000His offices have been closed for two years.
00:53:40.000While all of his taxpayer-funded constituent offices in Allegheny, Washington, Frederick, and Montgomery counties are closed and locked, mail piling up gathering dust. He literally hosted Joe
00:53:50.000Biden at his mansion in Potomac for a fundraiser last night. No masks in person. So it's
00:53:55.000too dangerous for him to do the job we pay him for. But he can host lavish fundraisers for the
00:54:00.000ticket cost went up to thousands and thousands of dollars. But God forbid he show up and
00:54:05.000actually represent the people of Western Maryland. So this is the crazy thing. This district, the
00:54:10.000bulk of its population from 2013 to 2023 was the DC
00:55:42.000There's so much potential here, and you see it all around us right here, but the Democrats in Annapolis are hell-bent on ruining the advantages that we do have in this state.
00:55:49.000The people who live around here, there's like, it's relatively sparsely populated, but I just keep hearing from everybody they don't want to be here anymore.
00:56:25.000This is because they're, they're legislating for the East part of Maryland, like the DC suburbs, but then everyone's getting hit by the legislation.
00:56:54.000Anyone from Maryland will tell you we have the best state flag, and we're probably the best state.
00:56:58.000But look, Democrats here are awful, as they are in most places when they're in charge.
00:57:03.000And so we have incredibly important elections for state legislature in Maryland this year, for governor this year, for Congress this year.
00:57:10.000We finally have a chance of at least getting on the federal level representation, literally, that actually will show up and listen to Western Maryland.
00:57:17.000And this part, I mean, this part of the state, everything west of Frederick in particular, is a complete afterthought to the Democratic Party.
00:57:23.000So when I've been out there, people are astonished that someone who is running for office on a federal level, A, is a Republican, and B, actually shows up to listen to them.
00:57:32.000Well, do they know that the redistricting has created a Republican?
00:57:35.000No, and it's so important to tell them because for the past 10 years, they've had no vote that actually matters.
00:57:40.000And now I'm saying, look, you guys actually have, this primary is incredibly consequential.
00:57:44.000You guys can send someone to Washington who will actually show up, investigate the Biden administration, force accountability, and listen to you and help you with the problems that you guys have.
00:57:52.000Were you like, when you were a reporter, before you were a reporter, did you get inspired at some point to get involved in the process?
00:57:58.000Or was that something you'd wanted to do before?
00:58:00.000I've been involved in Maryland politics since I was in high school.
00:58:03.000I didn't really see myself running, but I heard from all of the candidates who are running against David Trone because I am the vice president of my county Young Republicans now, and none of them even talk about Trone.
00:58:17.000And I worked at the House Republican Super PAC prior to becoming a journalist for two years, and I know that Republican candidates have to lead the way on making issues about the Democrats, and everyone else in this race doesn't even mention Trone's name.
00:58:30.000Meanwhile, I'm going through thousands of pages of legal documents that's going to show a whole mess of problems for him that we need to inform voters.
00:58:37.000I've found that if you complain about the other person, it gives free press to them.
00:58:43.000Hillary spent way too much time talking about Trump.
00:59:13.000I don't live in the district, but we work in the district.
00:59:15.000And the district, the state, just is constantly just... I feel like the state of Maryland is just whacking us with a switch over and over again, saying, Get out!
00:59:57.000And I'm not super familiar with the process, so tell me about it.
01:00:00.000So look, we're going to take the House back, take the Senate back, and then we're stuck with Biden for the next two years.
01:00:05.000So to me, as I envision the first term, it is laying the groundwork for a Republican president to win.
01:00:12.000And a lot of that means doing actual oversight of the Biden administration.
01:00:16.000In my reporting, I've actually led to multiple investigations into both the energy department and the commerce department and the border.
01:00:23.000So to me, I sort of think of this as cutting out the middleman.
01:00:26.000I already know sort of at least the initial places of where to look for where there's smoke, there's fire, and it's, you know, green energy.
01:00:34.000It is the border and things like that.
01:00:36.000So I want to do actual meaningful oversight with consequence.
01:00:39.000And going back to your point about the media, The reason I think that liberals don't really know conservative arguments is because they can go their whole lives without meeting any of us.
01:00:48.000So I went to an event in Silver Spring, which is very liberal in Montgomery County, when I was a reporter, where the Secretary of Energy, whose corruption I've been exposing going back basically since becoming a reporter, And there was a whole crew of journalists.
01:01:00.000There was an event to promote a house with solar panels.
01:01:02.000And so after the event was over, I walk up to the energy secretary.
01:01:05.000I said, Secretary Granholm, great to meet you.
01:01:07.000I'm a reporter, so she automatically assumes I'm liberal.
01:01:09.000I'm very young, so she assumes I'm liberal.
01:01:11.000And I said, hey, I just wanted to know, who is that mystery buyer that you sold 242,000 shares of non-private Proterra stock for a self-disclosed profit of $1.6 million?
01:01:21.000Her staff was on me like it was nobody's business.
01:01:26.000And this is awesome reporting I've done.
01:01:27.000Basically, she owned millions of dollars as energy secretary of a private company that she and the Biden administration was promoting while she was in charge of that exact industry.
01:01:38.000So my reporting forced her to liquidate her shares a couple of weeks before the company went public, which cost her tens of millions of dollars.
01:01:48.000So this is the sort of thing we actually should be doing.
01:01:50.000And if this had been a Trump administration official, you guys would know exactly what I'm talking about.
01:01:56.000I think that Democrats assume that conservatives and conservative journalists in particular, like, don't exist.
01:02:02.000And we just sort of dwell in basements on the internet and that we don't actually appear in the wild.
01:02:07.000Because when you see the journalists who are interacting with the White House, with members of Congress, they're all just, as you said, Ian, Democratic Party activists, not actual journalists or truth seekers.
01:02:21.000When you get elected, would you vote to impeach Joe Biden?
01:02:26.000I don't think impeachment is good, especially because we'd get Kamala running the show, and that would be bad.
01:02:33.000Yeah, but I mean, I guess my issue with that is, do you just let someone get away with illicit activities because someone else might be worse?
01:02:43.000Or do you just say, we have to uphold the law regardless of the outcome?
01:02:48.000I don't, I mean, after we saw Democrats basically waste two years of the Trump presidency trying to impeach him twice, I'm not really convinced it's that effective a thing to do.
01:03:00.000I'd much rather expose corruption and sort of see where that goes.
01:03:04.000But yeah, I think after seeing how destructive impeachment is, I mean, there's no doubt the Biden administration is lawless and has been promoting lawless activity since he was a presidential candidate.
01:03:13.000I don't know how effective a use of our time that is.
01:03:16.000So, before he becomes president, or in the previous administration, Hunter Biden is on the board of an energy company.
01:03:26.000He's getting $83,000 a month, it's been reported.
01:03:28.000Viktor Shokin, the prosecutor, was investigating Mykolas Lachevsky, the founder of Burisma.
01:03:34.000I believe there are around a dozen or so active investigations.
01:03:37.000Some were, like, temporarily suspended or on hold, but they existed.
01:03:40.000Matthew Taibbi reported that, so fact-check me on that one, because I may have the numbers wrong.
01:03:45.000Joe Biden comes in after an email was sent between one of these consulting firms, and then he tells the president to fire the prosecutor, otherwise he's going to withhold a billion dollars in aid from the U.S.
01:03:59.000government, which he doesn't have the authority to do.
01:04:01.000So Joe Biden is doing what is very obvious, and most people believe should be investigated.
01:04:07.000Donald Trump said, take a look into this, and what happened?
01:04:11.000Now, as president, Joe Biden, over the past three months, has been asking for tens of billions of dollars to be given to Ukraine.
01:04:20.000This is, in my opinion, evidence of malfeasance.
01:04:25.000Sure enough, I mean, I get it, Ukraine's at war, but how fascinating that the guy who's asking for favors, who's got his kid running these businesses with Burisma, is now all of a sudden using taxpayer funds for a non-ally, non-NATO, non-EU nation in their conflict.
01:04:42.000This dude is, in my opinion, committing very, very serious and obvious crimes.
01:04:47.000Should he be at least be investigated?
01:05:03.000My opinion on it is that he's stealing money from the taxpayer to pay off his buddies, and that's what he's been doing since the beginning of this whole operation.
01:05:11.000I think that, I mean, we need to actually investigate any corruption, whether it is
01:05:16.000in the Biden family. And some of the reporting I did was also on other people you've never heard
01:05:19.000of, like Joe Kiani, who is, Biden has said in one of his speeches in 2015, this is one of my
01:05:24.000closest friends, he is given millions of dollars to Biden ventures, whether it was the Biden
01:05:29.000Institute at Penn, whether it was the Biden Super PAC, the Biden presidential campaign,
01:05:33.000oh, lo and behold, his company is getting millions of dollars of federal contracts from
01:05:36.000the Biden administration, and he's on a prestigious Biden board for science and technology advisors.
01:05:43.000So I think that a lot of the corruption that I've reported and that my colleagues at the Free Beacon have reported on would, again, be national news.
01:05:51.000Like, Joe Kiani would be a national figure like Scott Pruitt was during the Trump administration.
01:05:55.000He'd be a national figure if all he did was shine Trump's shoes and then do something.
01:06:01.000So look, I think that actual oversight is incredibly important to do, whether the president is a Republican or the president is a Democrat.
01:06:08.000And Democrats, we know, will not do any of this because, as I've also reported, they literally don't show up for work.
01:06:14.000Let alone actually going after their political allies in this administration.
01:06:19.000So I think the sky is the limit when it comes to corruption in the administration.
01:06:23.000I'm 25, but I can tell you with confidence, this is the most corrupt administration of my lifetime.
01:06:27.000And I think it's important for us to show the American people that.
01:06:29.000So anyway, to your question, that is an issue is forcing good government, but then also stopping the reckless spending is destroying our economy via inflation that the administration denies crushing communist China, stopping giving Iran nuclear weapons, actually promoting American jobs and American energy.
01:06:44.000The Department of Energy, of course, doesn't actually believe in energy.
01:06:46.000It's incredibly hostile to American energy and American energy creators.
01:06:50.000So the first step is to stop a lot of the madness that we're seeing from Democrats and the Biden administration.
01:06:56.000And then we can start laying out sort of a vision of, hey, here's why you guys should give us the White House.
01:07:01.000But the first thing I think is staunch the bleeding and then proceed accordingly.
01:07:46.000But just keep in mind, having this conversation in 2014, we were probably talking about people who were going to go on to lose that year.
01:07:53.000So obviously DeSantis will destroy whoever they nominate.
01:07:57.000But something crazy could happen with him.
01:07:59.000Something crazy could happen with Trump.
01:08:00.000So first, Let's have the red wave, like we can't take advantage, like we can't forget that we have an election this year by getting distracted by the shiny object of 2024 yet.
01:08:30.000You know, it's sort of... Circle back.
01:08:31.000Mr. Smith... Well, no, but honestly, I'm not gonna lie and say, oh, I can tell you what it's gonna be like to be a congressman as a 25-year-old.
01:08:37.000I am incredibly idealistic, and maybe that means I'm somewhat naive.
01:08:42.000But I think that having people go who want to get in there on day one and start investigating corruption and making a difference, you know, it matters who we elect, right?
01:08:50.000That's why I jumped in this primary as I was like, look, I'm 25, but I have no doubt done more to expose Democrats corruption and malfeasance than anyone else in this race.
01:09:00.000And that's why we have to actually send someone to Washington who wants to do that.
01:09:03.000I think the problem that many of us see the Democrats' corruption is fairly obvious.
01:09:09.000I mean, look, Jimmy Dore, who's a leftist, and he rags on the Democrats all day and night.
01:09:16.000He rags on the Democrats all the time.
01:09:18.000I think we all can see the problem with Democrats.
01:09:20.000The problem I have with Republicans is that they're a barrier preventing actual pro-America, pro-American worker politicians from getting in.
01:09:30.000You see what's happening with Robbie Starbuck in Tennessee.
01:10:31.000Sort of our generation of people does not, is not as beholden to sort of that type of politics as we've been used to for, I think, all of our lives, whether it's because we're way too idealistic or already way too cynical and blackmailed.
01:10:46.000You know, I think a lot of the same old, same old doesn't really fly with us.
01:11:13.000Then the leftists will claim the Republicans are the scorched earth party, while the Republicans are the Washington generals.
01:11:18.000And then I see people like Kyle Kulinski claim the Democrats are actually the Washington generals.
01:11:21.000And I'm just like, yo, in 2016, you know, after the midterms, when the Republicans had basically everything, they went along with Russiagate.
01:11:33.000When Donald Trump sees obvious issues with Ukraine, he gets impeached and the Republicans do nothing.
01:11:40.000When it comes to the 2020 election across all of these states, Republicans cut deals with Democrats to change voting laws.
01:11:47.000If the Republicans are unwilling to play politics in the same way, Then it will be the same thing.
01:11:55.000We will keep seeing changes that are negative.
01:11:58.000It is just a slow roll and in 20 years, Republicans will be transgender communists who have sacrificed all their values because they'll keep lurching leftward.
01:12:07.000However, I believe if the Republicans do decide we're going to impeach Joe Biden, we're going to go for a conviction, we're going to investigate, we're going to arrest, the Democrats won't just sit back and allow that to happen.
01:12:17.000It's going to be the same policies, which is just a powder keg and then you get some kind of chaos, collapse, or otherwise.
01:12:23.000I don't know what the answers are, I just know that for me, sitting back watching Democrat corruption, sitting back and seeing the media lie and work in collusion with the Democratic establishment, seeing big tech do all of these things, and then seeing the established Republicans, who are all in on the game, sitting on their hands the whole time, I'm just like, we need people like Lauren Boebert or Marjorie Taylor Greene or Thomas Massey, more Freedom Caucus individuals who are just going to be like, we're going to push back, we're going to say no.
01:12:50.000We need term limits too, and especially for the administrative state as well.
01:12:54.000Like, that Trump's military were lying to him about the troops in Syria, about the numbers of troops we had in Syria, that's an administrative problem.
01:13:00.000Those guys should have been term limited out.
01:13:02.000I mean, the president obviously can hire whoever he wants, but I think we should have some legal restrictions there.
01:13:05.000Maybe the president shouldn't be able to hire whoever he wants, or she wants.
01:13:10.000But a lot of those people you're talking about are not hired by the president.
01:13:12.000A lot of those people are these career, you know, that sort of is where the deep state is from, is these career people who are actually Explicitly not hired by the president, right?
01:13:21.000The people hired by the president are the politicals.
01:13:23.000That's where you have, when you're a Democrat, you have two forces aligned in your favor.
01:13:27.000You have the career employees and the political appointees.
01:13:30.000When you're a Republican, especially when you're Trump, you have the careers aligned against you and then you have your political appointees.
01:13:36.000So you're still fighting your own government employees who are also impossible to fire when they're doing a bad job.
01:13:44.000But Being able to reform the career hires in the government would be a huge win for taxpayers, for the government transparency, for anything like that.
01:14:08.000I mean, it is a problem with both sides, obviously, of just sort of the lackadaisical attitude as we have these massive problems.
01:14:15.000But again, that's why it's important for any voter in any district in the country to go sort of ask the people who are asking for their vote, hey, what do you plan on actually doing when you're in there?
01:14:25.000And that's why I can say in good conscience to voters, yes, I understand.
01:15:10.000And then the next week that program is canceled.
01:15:12.000So being able to like you can use governmental powers for good to stop leftist insanity, but you need people in government who are actually going to either expose it themselves or when contacted with these sorts of tips, actually do things about it.
01:15:43.000And, uh, would you sign on to Thomas Massey's legislation to the Department of Education will end December 31st, 2022?
01:15:52.000Uh, well obviously I would not be in office by December 31st, 2022.
01:15:56.000But whatever it is, um... What I mean to ask is, do you agree with Thomas Massie saying, let's shut this down?
01:16:02.000I think that probably does make sense.
01:16:04.000A lot of these federal departments are only making things much worse.
01:16:09.000Um, especially the Department of Education.
01:16:11.000I would need to figure out what the actual ramifications of that would be, but I am, I mean, we need to drastically slash the size of government and especially things like this was a priority during the Trump admin in the early years, moving things like the Department of the Interior to the Interior.
01:16:24.000You know, there's no reason for all of these government agencies to be based in DC, especially when they're like the Bureau of Land Management put that in a state like Arizona.
01:16:32.000Nevada. If there was, I would never want to be in politics, but if there was one
01:16:37.000reason to be in politics is just to do like exactly what Thomas Massey did, I
01:16:41.000would just be like I have a whole bunch of bills drafted up, this department will
01:16:44.000end, this department will end, this department will end, this department will end. The Department of Energy, or of
01:16:48.000Education rather. You know what I would do though? I wouldn't write, I wouldn't draft a bill that says like the
01:16:52.000Department of Education will end on this date.
01:16:55.000It will be called the Congressional Salary Increase.
01:16:58.000And it'll be like, line one, all members of Congress shall receive a salary equal to, you know, whatever percentage.
01:17:05.000Equal to the Department of Energy's staff in five years from now, which will be zero dollars.
01:17:09.000He calculated it would be about $400 million a year that we would save if we got to that, but then he thought we could repurpose the money to, like, individual school choice methods and things like that.
01:17:21.000But then, like, in the fine print at the bottom of it, also the Department of Education will end.
01:17:25.000Honestly, you could put it in the first line.
01:17:26.000I don't even think they read that far into it.
01:17:28.000They just see that, you know, they see it's called the jobs bill.
01:17:30.000They're like, alright, I'm for the jobs bill.
01:17:31.000Well, this is what we heard from the Freitas caucus crew that There's some guy who's not Pelosi, and he's like, uh, next up is this bill, you know, the Jobs Act reform bill, all in favor on the Democrat side, all in favor on the Republican side, it passes, bang, next.
01:17:49.000So you just make, like, the congressional salary raise bill, and then it would just have, like, a whole bunch of stuff in it, like, this is gone, this is gone.
01:17:57.000I wonder if, you know, I would just, that's all I would do.
01:18:00.000I would be like the Saving Children and Preserving the Family Act, or I'd make like the Pro-LGBTQ Protect Our Children Bill, and it says the National Firearms Act will sunset as of December 31st, 2022.
01:18:48.000But like AOC does for instance where you just you video chat with your friends or your followers or whoever the your voters or whatever you call people it gets a little culty because they'll worship you and like follow you into anything which could be bad if you go crazy but it's a great way to stay keep people informed to answer their questions and yeah to create real people that will stay with you through the process I disagreed with your earlier point on how we should have like much more teleworking in government.
01:19:11.000I think it should, the government should be way more accessible to you than it is right now.
01:19:15.000So any way we can make people who feel disaffected and disconnected from the government and from sort of their community, we should do more of that.
01:19:24.000And again, I mean, like parts of Western Maryland have not heard from their representative in decades.
01:19:30.000So it is like the more ways we can reach more people and that to AOC's credit is something she does do well as she does sort of Would you vote for boots on the ground in Ukraine?
01:20:12.000But I do think it's, I think it's important.
01:20:14.000I mean, you know, you're running in the primary, so.
01:20:16.000The problem with sending weapons, in my opinion, anyway, the problem with sending weapons to Azov, which is like the Nazi battalion of the Ukrainian army, that's freedom fighters.
01:20:22.000They call them freedom fighters when they're on our side, then they call them terrorists when they're not.
01:20:26.000And is that one day they may not be on our side anymore.
01:20:28.000Now they have American weapons and they fight back.
01:20:30.000I mean, look, we left an entire arsenal to the Taliban, so I don't know where to factor that into this.
01:20:35.000You know, I think that the surrender of Afghanistan was sort of like the Obama red line in 2013 that set the stage for, you know, that was the first domino to fall that led to serious consequences.
01:20:46.000So when we abandoned Afghanistan for a failed photo op, That said to China, yeah, you guys can do whatever you guys want domestically.
01:20:54.000I reported on how one of the sponsors of the Chinese Genocide Olympics was iFlytech, which the Chinese government uses to voice recognize Uyghur dissidents.
01:21:31.000Meanwhile, Putin's guy in Vienna is negotiating an Iran deal on behalf of the United States of America, so Biden can't cut off Russian oil because that would piss off the guys who are negotiating to sprint to give Iran nuclear weapons.
01:21:42.000He finally relents on buying Russian oil and then says, all right, you know what?
01:21:45.000Instead of Russian oil, we're going to buy Venezuelan oil because what does the administration hate?
01:21:49.000American jobs and American oil because it's beholden to left-wing activists.
01:21:53.000So Anyway, all of that is to say, none of the foreign policy failures of the Biden administration happened in a vacuum, and the failure in Afghanistan set the stage for massive failures that are already happening, that are aided and abetted by Democrats teleworking, because either they're discussing classified information in unclassified settings, like they're zooming in from Starbucks while they should pretend to be working, or they're not discussing anything classified, and they have no idea that Russia is about to invade Ukraine, or that China is eyeing Taiwan, that, you know, people with brains can just figure out is obviously happening.
01:23:00.000I don't know, because our political leaders are a protected class, so I don't know.
01:23:05.000There are certain leaders who are dissidents who I could see the establishment being more comfortable seeing that happen to, but do you guys remember, I believe about 10 years ago, there was, I can't remember if it was a senator or a congressman, but he said, you lied to Obama.
01:23:24.000He heckled him while he was actually lying, by the way.
01:23:28.000He pointed out that he was lying and that was so unprecedented and horrible.
01:23:32.000So everyone has a very weak stomach for basically anything confrontational.
01:23:36.000And at the same time, you know, if it's someone outside of the establishment, of course, or it's someone who's a target of the radical left's hatred, then we can absolutely destroy them.
01:23:45.000This definitely wouldn't happen now because Democrats literally don't show up in the Capitol.
01:23:51.000They would say words are violence, and you tweeted something mean at them, but you can't actually have physical violence when no one shows up to work.
01:23:57.000Burning down buildings isn't violence, right?
01:24:48.000That right there just reading that I'm like No matter what happens in terms of conflict with the ever-increasing polarization in this country, both sides will be happy whatever happened happened.
01:25:04.000Also, it's important to remember that with a lot of the culture war issues and the things people are really riled up about, the actual establishment politicians either don't have that much of a difference or they don't talk about it, so we would never see Nancy Pelosi caning Mitt Romney, right?
01:25:18.000Or something along those lines, because even though they're in different parties, they're totally in bed together ultimately.
01:25:24.000But, as I mentioned earlier, I could see, you know, maybe somebody like Marjorie Taylor Greene or someone who is really genuinely an outsider being, you know, a target for some kind of misconduct or serious misconduct.
01:25:36.000I mean, we already saw them try to use the legal system to punish her for her political views, so.
01:25:57.000Doesn't Lauren Boebert keep a gun with her?
01:25:58.000This was a squabble earlier this year was some members of the Republican party were bringing weapons to the house floor, but cause remember they put up the metal detectors and some members would say, whether they were armed or not, they would just walk around and get fined.
01:26:10.000Um, I don't think you can open carry on the Capitol grounds.
01:26:19.000I can understand issues of, like, functions of justice where we have certain restrictions, but I kind of lean towards people should be allowed to keep and bear arms.
01:26:32.000You know, if you go back in time, I'd imagine being in the capital, you'd want to be able to protect it if an attack happened or something happened.
01:26:39.000And what if a crazy person walks in, you know?
01:26:41.000So I don't know, I kind of think members of Congress... I think everybody should be allowed to open case.
01:26:45.000You get a situation where like one person in the parliament, I'll use examples that have happened in the past, goes at another member of parliament, and then like, the security is just watching, because they don't know what to do, and if whoever's running the parliament's like, don't do anything to the security guards, then they're just gonna wait.
01:27:01.000And then it becomes partisan, where like, if your life is being threatened on the floor of Congress, you have a right to defend your life.
01:27:43.000People need to understand that, uh, years go by before anything, anything, like 1859, you know, John Brown's raid on the Harper's Ferry Armory.
01:27:53.000This is like years before some of these massive war, like, battles that were fought.
01:27:57.000And it's like 1860 and then it goes on for years.
01:28:02.000It's just, this was life for everybody.
01:28:07.000I think it might have even been Lennon, who did not say many wise things, but this idea that there are decades where nothing happens, and then days where decades happen, something like that.
01:28:53.000And it's not, I mean, I just, look, right now, the left, they're putting out videos where they're like, why aren't the justices being arrested for perjury?
01:29:04.000Because they said, under oath, that Roe v. Wade was settled law, but now they're saying it's not, and they're rescinding it, which is a ridiculous argument, but it doesn't matter.
01:29:13.000These millennials who are arguing this will one day inherit the courts.
01:29:16.000And that ideology is present within them.
01:29:19.000They will be like, well, you did say it was settled law.
01:29:23.000And then you might argue like, yeah, but I never said I wouldn't overturn it.
01:29:26.000You're going to jail because I'm the AG now.
01:29:28.000You may be right that if we keep doing the government as it's written with the modern technology, it's going to inevitably lead to cult worship.
01:29:36.000And I think the reason is because with modern technology, the ability to create a cult within like three days with social media is super dangerous for our form of group communication government.
01:29:46.000That's just the speed at which the cult can form.
01:30:48.000So whichever faction gains control of the institution is going to, I think, wield it against the other, which will result in the other side saying no, and then some kind of conflict.
01:30:57.000You surely need to empower the people.
01:31:12.000If you have not already, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show if you really do like it, head over to TimCast.com, become a member.
01:31:19.000We're gonna have that members-only segment coming up around 11 p.m., which we record and then it goes up.
01:31:25.000And you're also helping support alternative infrastructure because our website is hosted on Rumble.
01:31:30.000Which means the more customers they can get, the more you support businesses that use Rumble, the more you are building up this ecosystem of alternatives to Silicon Valley.
01:31:39.000So thank you so much for being members.
01:32:03.000She's in black block, yeah that's right.
01:32:06.000Well let's see if she'll take off her outfit.
01:32:08.000Not Dorothy though, but it's also because Vanessa looks angry.
01:32:12.000So there's two Bart Plymouth Rock Chickens we have and Vanessa's eyes, her brow is always furled and she's like looking around like mmm and then Dorothy's eyes are always like up and like dopey just like oh I just say it's really weird they have that expression on their face you can tell them apart that way they're identical otherwise All right, Leandro Brady says 2,000 mules per gallon.
01:33:04.000I have a trucker friend who gets miles to the gallon with this truck and he's talking about how Unbelievably expensive it is to fill up his semi.
01:33:12.000There's like this cool way we come back from this There's a technology this Japanese inventor was working on where he would take plastic and put it in a high-pressure, high-heat environment with no oxygen, and then it reconverts the plastic into oil, and then you can refine it back into petroleum or diesel.
01:33:27.000Alright, Ghost Crusader says, there is no corn at my local supermarkets.
01:34:51.000Yeah, we could only have one dominant rooster at a time, and Roberto Jr.
01:34:54.000has now, like, he's fully grown, so Roberto and his son are now, it's too much for the chickens, and they're starting to get hurt, because the dude's just going at it too much, you know?
01:35:04.000Is that an allegory for when there's two superpowers, one of them eventually, what's that law?
01:36:15.000If there were two YouTubes that were identical, and they were actually competing, it'd be a good thing, but Rumble's actually competition, so.
01:36:57.000Yeah, they're all just trying to get clicks and likes.
01:37:01.000Bert USA says, imagine Trump's head on All Might's body, then imagine the left facing off against this plus Ultraman.
01:37:08.000Now we wait for the United States of smash, or at the very least, a Delaware smash.
01:37:13.000So someone may, yes, ha, if you, if you guys know what My Hero Academia is, you understand, you understood those references, but somebody actually made a comic called Wall Might, where Trump is All Might, superhero, and they call him Wall Might.
01:38:46.000Mike S. says, the real reason Hasan will only do Zoom debates is so that he can get instant answers during the debate from his Discord followers.
01:39:07.000And then the other thing is, people, like, I've told everybody who comes on the show, like, we're all sitting here with computers, so bring a computer, and also, we will pull up anything you reference if you want to counter our point.
01:39:18.000And so we've actually done that with conflicting studies before.
01:39:22.000Nobody's obligated to come on this show.
01:39:23.000I'll just explain that I think that prominent left personalities typically won't come on the show because they know they'll lose the argument.
01:39:31.000And they're not willing to come on to have that conversation.
01:40:24.000I don't fault people necessarily for not knowing these sorts of things because remember it took our esteemed colleagues in the mainstream media two years to verify that Hunter Biden's laptop was real.
01:40:33.000So there are some things where it is actually incredibly difficult to get actual information.
01:40:39.000Now that said, if you're coming on this show or any show as a so-called expert on Burisma and you don't know basic facts about Hunter Biden and the Biden family, then that's where it becomes a problem.
01:40:49.000But it's very hard to actually find, you know, these basic things about the Biden family.
01:40:53.000This is why I think many of these people don't want to come on the show.
01:40:56.000Because we're going to be like, hey, let's have a very serious political conversation about corruption.
01:40:59.000And then all of a sudden it's like, uh-oh, I'm forced to actually confront my ideas that are based on falsehoods.
01:41:07.000The other thing I think will happen too is that if we brought on like a left populist and then, you know, someone like Steve Bannon, and then they were like, I think we should tax the rich.
01:41:17.000And then Steve Bannon goes, I completely agree.
01:41:18.000Then the headline would be like, leftist agrees with Steve Bannon.
01:41:31.000I mean, it's also... You can't just tell us it's funny!
01:41:36.000But it's also such a huge part of the fan base that they've courted.
01:41:40.000These are people who will intentionally just go out of their way and operate in the most bad-faith manner possible so they can find something you said that makes you right-wing.
01:41:49.000That's the funny thing, like Michael Malisopdin brings up, that he'll say Biden is bad for X reason, and they'll say, yeah, well, Trump did Y, and he'll be like, yes, I agree.
01:41:59.000What does that have to do with what I said?
01:42:00.000Like, people can only think it's either you're for Trump or you're for Biden.
01:42:06.000But this also does get to the mainstream media's problem and why the Trump presidency broke them was all of their subscribers are these resistance people who the second they start criticizing Democrats are going to rage unsubscribe, right?
01:42:19.000So now that they cultivated the subscriber base based on combing through the dumpsters of Trump Tower and the Trump Hotel in DC, if you're actually going to basically copy and paste my reporting and other people's reportings about Joe Kiani, about Jennifer Granholm, about Gina Raimondo, any of these sorts of things, you're going to confront your subscribers with a reality, which is reality, that they don't want to confront.
01:42:41.000So they've dug this hole, and they have no way of actually being able to get out of it.
01:42:44.000You know what I've encountered, though?
01:42:46.000When it comes to the, quote-unquote, right, as it's often described, is such a big umbrella, that you'll end up with tons of people.
01:42:55.000Aggressive, Trump-supporting, not necessarily Trump supporters, post-liberal, libertarian.
01:43:01.000So if I make a video and I say something about the quote-unquote right or a constitutionalist position, I'll get a bunch of comments from people who are like, hey Tim, you actually messed up on this one and it's very like normal.
01:43:13.000The left will purposefully take things out of context to lie about me.
01:43:17.000So like I once did a video about hybrid vigor.
01:43:21.000There was a scientific study that found that people who have genetics from different parts of the planet tend to have less disease and stuff.
01:43:27.000And I was making a point about why racism was bad and stupid.
01:43:31.000The left took the video, screenshots of it, and then misrepresented what it was about and claimed it was a racist video that hated race mixing when it was the complete inversion of what it was.
01:43:59.000Well, I mean, yeah, they've adopted the strategy of just like sort of stomping their foot and screaming, you're bad, you're bad.
01:44:05.000You don't feel bad for the people I tell you to feel bad for, and you don't, you know, sit there and apologize for things you had nothing to do with.
01:45:09.000Part of the problem is that it contains a lot of vitamins and minerals and it is based on cow's milk.
01:45:14.000I've also heard that goat's milk is a good substitute in some instances.
01:45:19.000But there you can also sign up for something like the La Leche League if you're having trouble finding formula and there's all sorts of stuff you can do.
01:45:36.000I will just quickly say on that point, I actually was one of the reporters who first exposed critical race theory's existence in Maryland public schools in Anne Arundel County and in Montgomery County.
01:45:44.000I've covered both removing police from schools and the leftist insanity in curricula.
01:45:50.000And, you know, there's sort of this common trope amongst left-wing activists that critical race theory isn't honest, because we all know this.
01:45:55.000But a parent in Anne Arundel County simply forwarded me an email from the Anne Arundel County Board of Education, which confirmed to parents, yes, critical race theory is taught in Anne Arundel County schools.
01:46:05.000The specific article that I wrote about it, it was one of the most insane things in education.
01:46:09.000It's from a pre-K through fifth grade school.
01:46:11.000So four-year-olds in Maryland public schools in Anne Arundel County were being taught that Japanese internment during World War II, when we intern Japanese American citizens, is like securing the southern border.
01:46:22.000And that isn't necessarily Critical Race Theory, but in the course of that story, you know, I got an email from the Board of Education saying, yeah, we teach Critical Race Theory here in Annapolis.
01:46:35.000Look up Annapolis Critical Race Theory Free Beacon and Japanese Internment Interval pop-up.
01:46:40.000But with the Free Beacon, you really cannot find our articles on the internet unless you add Free Beacon to the search, but look up Free Beacon Japanese Internment, someone can put it in the chat.
01:46:51.000Free Beacon Japanese Internment, Maryland Public School, and you'll find it.
01:46:55.000Clayton Allstrang says, Ian, have you read the Bible?
01:46:59.000Or attended church for an extended period of time?
01:47:01.000I think it would benefit you in your discussions about the Bible and what Shamus and Catholics believe.
01:47:05.000I got baptized, and it was the creepiest thing, one of the creepiest things I've ever experienced.
01:47:09.000I went to a church camp, a Methodist church camp, and this guy was much older than me, I was like 12 or 13, and he was like 18 or something, sat next to me with his tight shorts on, was like, Now, say you take Jesus into your heart.
01:47:20.000And I went, uh, I take Jesus into my heart.
01:47:39.000It's a lifelong journey to be, if you want to live like Christ.
01:47:43.000The segment being referenced here is when you mentioned that the Mic Check shutdown was very religious.
01:47:52.000And I've spent time, we used to go to mass twice a week when I was in Catholic school.
01:47:58.000We left when I was about 10 years old.
01:48:00.000And so what I can say is, we all knew exactly what we were saying, and reading from the book as it was being explained to us, I feel like it was never adequately explained to me, which is why I left.
01:48:09.000And there's a big difference between reading from a book and hearing the priest talk to you about what's going on.
01:48:15.000We had the, um, was it the procession of the cross?
01:48:38.000Organized religion is... There's problems with organization as well, but you know, there is organization.
01:48:43.000This is why it's important also to listen to Joe Biden speak instead of read the text of his words, right?
01:48:48.000Because if you read the text of his words, especially what you were talking about the Daily Mail with Jen Psaki earlier, it can be made to sound coherent.
01:48:55.000Then when you watch it, it's like, whoa, this is not the same thing.
01:49:00.000Conservative outlets tend not to as much, but Biden will say something like, come on, you know, economy, you know, You gotta make it better.
01:49:57.000Fireside Story says, Ian, you are telling me that the programmer and creator of the big machine we call the universe can't go to one of his programs and make it pregnant.
01:50:05.000Well, I'm saying you have no way of knowing.
01:50:14.000I mean, if you believe that the gospel writers and the other scriptural writers are reliable sources on the other things that they discuss.
01:50:19.000I don't believe CNN's a reliable source.
01:51:04.000So that was my life up until now, but I understand the organization is so important.
01:51:07.000I think the issue is you are right that you can't prove, but there's deep philosophical questions about why people choose to believe and why people think things are true.
01:51:19.000Some things are easily discerned as objectively true, like I know that if I throw a rock at a window, there's a great chance the window will break.
01:51:28.000What if it turns out it was bulletproof and the rock just bounces off?
01:51:30.000So you might think you know something and then your expectations are shattered when the window doesn't shatter.
01:51:36.000I think some things we can prove, but I think most things we believe are unproven.
01:51:40.000Almost, I would say 99% of what humans believe is completely unproven.
01:51:45.000I just got a book called- To them, to them, I mean, to them.
01:51:47.000I got a book called Creating Christ, How Roman Emperors Invented Christianity.
01:51:50.000I mentioned it on the show a few weeks ago, maybe a month ago, that there's this concept that the Romans created Christianity to disempower the Jews because the Jews were a threat to their imperial authority.
01:52:35.000I'm challenging your position on... You want me to start a microscope company?
01:52:37.000No, but I would not tell you... I would not stake my life on this, but I don't... I mean, I believe it because the scientific method's awesome and I've read enough scientific articles about it and looked at images of what they tell me is microscopy and stuff like that.
01:52:48.000Oh, and I'm sure that there's, I mean, there's a Shroud of Turin.
01:52:51.000I got a coin for Seamus that's allegedly one of the Three Wise Men's currency or whatever.
01:52:56.000There's a bunch of that kind of stuff.
01:52:58.000My point is, I do think some things are, yes, electron microscopes, you can do the work.
01:53:02.000I'm just saying, not that things true or aren't true, not that religion is true or not true.
01:53:06.000I'm saying, if you're going to advocate the power of graphene with such fervor, I would at least expect you to stand by your own standard and have done the personal research into analyzing yourself.
01:53:18.000I was in South America to start a graphene company.
01:53:20.000I got, I guess you could call it derailed and came here, but I mean, I'm glad I'm here.
01:53:23.000Well, there are people in South America who went on missions to preach the word of the gospel.
01:53:26.000It doesn't mean they've proven it's true and you haven't proven graphene is what it is.
01:53:34.000I bought a Quran because I'm like, I gotta know.
01:53:36.000It is so hard it was so hard for me to read because it's a lot about he he makes a he says a word as if it had already everyone already knows what it means and then he use any capitalizes the word in the sentence and it's really weird like it's really culty and like You gotta already want to believe it to believe it.
01:53:52.000This is exactly like Marxism, where you read Karl Marx and you're like, this is nonsensical gibberish with a lot of mathematical formulas that don't make sense.
01:54:00.000And so you sort of know that all of the people who are protesting in all these streets have never opened Das Kapital or any of the Marxism that they claim to believe.
01:55:48.000If you guys want to talk about economics and where we're headed as a country, like, are you on the Ethereum blockchain, Ted, or do you use the Bitcoin blockchain for real?
01:57:01.000I don't even know what winning means these days.
01:57:11.000Trump has said he does not want to be Speaker of the House.
01:57:13.000But would you want him to be Speaker of the House?
01:57:15.000I'm not going to make anyone Speaker who doesn't want to be Speaker.
01:57:18.000That's a horrible job that I would not really wish on someone who doesn't desperately want to do that.
01:57:22.000It's just, and then you impeach Joe Kamala and Nancy.
01:57:24.000It is sort of like, it's that meme where it's like, you know, straightforward from here, you know, but, uh, technically that would be possible, but Trump has been asked about this multiple times.
01:57:33.000Would you, would you like to be Speaker?
01:57:35.000Because a fun fact, you know, Tim could be Speaker of the House if he got the majority votes.
01:57:38.000You don't have to be a member of Congress to actually be Speaker of the House, but I don't think that Trump wants to be a member of Congress.
01:57:46.000The Engaged Few says, Tim, can you ask that guy if he'd be willing to introduce a constitutional amendment repealing the 17th and return the elections of senators to the state legislatures?
01:57:55.000Pre-17th, senators average 10 years, 6 years.
01:58:23.000The original idea of the Senate was that the state reps would choose, they would all vote, and that it was up to you to vote locally, and your local reps would then elect a senator to go to the federal government to represent the state.
01:58:37.000And the problem, the reason they got rid of it, is that they felt that there was too much backroom dealing.
01:58:42.000I was about to say, this sounds like you're just giving 30 people the ability to elect a U.S.
01:59:02.000And the issue is, a state rep has a much smaller population, so it's much easier to communicate with your local community and get that rep or senator in.
01:59:12.000As opposed to a federal-level senator, which is the entire state, which people feel helpless.
01:59:16.000It's like, I'm in Illinois, what's the point?
02:00:51.000Y'all can make fun of it all day and night.
02:00:53.000Doesn't the left also, like, use weird things to grow, like, kombucha in their own, you know, little apartments in Brooklyn, and now they're mocking having actual food that you can eat in a problem?
02:01:04.000There's an article Vice wrote, and they're like, where are these people now?
02:01:07.000And it's like, Tim Pool is shilling for emergency food.
02:01:10.000And I'm like, I'm going to print that out and frame it.
02:01:14.000I could probably do it now, because the food shortage is already getting bad.
02:01:17.000And I'll put it next to all of the complaints from people in New York where they're like, there's no food at my store.
02:01:22.000And I'll be like, yo, the people that prepare for this stuff, you should still be worried about it because you don't want to eat emergency food until you absolutely have to.
02:01:30.000Like when you literally can't get anything anymore.
02:01:32.000But I'll tell you who's laughing, the preppers.
02:01:36.000They're sitting on their mound of three months of beans and they're like, heh.
02:01:41.000Yeah, well, they have a lot of the corn.
02:01:43.000The left has also been saying for years that we have a catastrophic climate change problem and the coasts are going to flood and the world as we know it is going to end and then they turn around and call you stupid for having emergency food.
02:01:56.000Build an ark and they're like, you're so dumb.
02:01:58.000It's like you told me that everything was... Yeah, the world is ending in 12 years, but... That's what that creationism museum actually is, the ark that they have built.
02:02:22.000And as a member, I just want to stress again, you'll be supporting companies that use alternative infrastructure.
02:02:26.000We use Rumble's cloud services and Rumble's video service for our website.
02:02:31.000The more people who start adopting Rumble, the more people who support businesses that use alternative infrastructure, the more we strip that power away from Silicon Valley, Big Tech, Hollywood, etc.
02:02:41.000You can follow the show at TimCastIRL.
