On today's show, we talk about the Biden cocaine scandal, the DeSantis campaign's new anti-Trump ad, and the closing of the Bud Light Bottling Plant. Plus, we have a special guest on the show to talk about Sound of Freedom.
00:00:30.000You will not be able to get guests on July 3rd or 4th because nobody's gonna want to travel right before the 4th and nobody wants to do a late night show on the 4th when there's fireworks going off and people have gotten out of work and there's burgers.
00:00:43.000So I was just like, let's just take the opportunity and celebrate America.
00:02:50.000With your support, buying our coffee, you'll help keep the show going and help us expand into the physical space as we build out our coffee shops for physical locations.
00:03:01.000It's not the easiest thing in the world, but we're getting there.
00:03:03.000Don't forget to also head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member, get access to our Discord server where you can hang out with like-minded people, and actually call into our Members Only After Show.
00:03:13.000We'll have one of those for you tonight, just at 10 p.m.
00:03:16.000when the live show on YouTube wraps up, and you can actually submit questions and call in and talk to us.
00:03:31.000Oh, I'm just a mere community organizer and civil rights organizer fighting for a good fight for the January 6th prisoners fighting to get election integrity restored in the country and on the side helping out campaigns here and there.
00:04:21.000It's really sad to see, like, all over West Virginia they have these, like, emergency treatment things for the drugs and how it's really damaged everybody.
00:04:28.000Crocodile and people Let's talk about Hunter Biden's problem.
00:04:33.000Yeah, because other chemicals, they call them drugs and they're nowhere near as dangerous.
00:04:39.000When I heard this story, my mind immediately went to the disparity of justice in this country.
00:04:44.000How many people are sitting in prison right now because the exact same amount of cocaine was found somewhere near them in their car, in their home, and when it comes to the White House?
00:05:32.000The White House was evacuated around 8.45 p.m.
00:05:35.000on July 3rd after the substance was discovered by members of the Secret Service Uniformed Division during a routine patrol of the building.
00:05:41.000The item was sent for further evaluation.
00:05:43.000In an investigation into the cause and manner of how it entered the White House is pending, the Secret Service said in a subsequent statement per NPR, the agency will review surveillance footage and visitor logs as part of its investigation.
00:05:55.000The location of where the cocaine was discovered has become a point of controversy.
00:05:59.000Initial reports claimed the drugs were discovered in the ground floor library of the presidential residence.
00:06:04.000The Washington Post quoted a dispatch from DC's Department of Hazardous Materials team in which a firefighter stated, we have a yellow bar saying cocaine hydrochloride.
00:06:13.000Yeah, I saw this story over the weekend.
00:06:42.000Biden laughs off White House cocaine scandal and refuses to answer reporters' questions while Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre suggests drugs found in West Wing belong to a visitor.
00:07:02.000And I was thinking about it, and I could be wrong, but my view of this whole thing is the Founding Fathers probably did a ton of drugs in the White House.
00:07:11.000Then there was probably a period from like the early 1900s to like the 70s where there were no drugs in the White House.
00:07:17.000And then you started getting probably a lot more drugs in the White House after that.
00:08:02.000I just feel different, I guess, back then.
00:08:05.000I imagine as president, yeah, but to your point, if you're going to be in the Oval Office and stuff like that, even if you're some kind of clerk or something like that, you have to have some kind of clearance.
00:08:17.000And if you have any kind of drug history, or if you lie on the polygraph test, then you can't get a clearance.
00:08:25.000So it makes sense that there would be, you know, issues with, like, your average person.
00:08:31.000If you're someone higher up, like if you're a chief of staff, or if you're the president, or if you're, you know, someone like that, I imagine you could probably get the Secret Service to overlook or ignore or something like that.
00:08:43.000But if it's just your average Like one of the lower tier people that actually has to work for the president or in the office.
00:08:51.000I imagine they're getting tested, you know, because they have to have clearance.
00:08:54.000It's got to be somebody who doesn't have to go through security.
00:10:45.000I'm not saying I really believe it was Hunter, I don't know.
00:10:48.000I'm just saying, until they actually come out and say whose it was, I am just going to say it was Hunter because, you know, Occam's razor.
00:10:58.000You got a crack addict, drug addict guy, with access to the White House, to the degree he will not be stopped by security, they know who he is, the President's son, as probably his.
00:11:08.000You know, whether it's Hunter Biden or somebody else, what we do know for a fact is there's two tiers of justice.
00:11:13.000Just like Hunter Biden got treated very gently with his prosecution for his crimes that other people are suffering badly for, losing their families in jail for.
00:11:23.000Possession of cocaine in a place like that.
00:11:27.000Anybody else, even in your house, in your car, you park your car next to the White House and they find that in you, in your car, you are, you're in a world of pain, but the White House, one of the protected people, two-tiered justice, we're just gonna laugh it off.
00:11:39.000Jack Posobiec said he thought there's actually three tiered justices, and this is a little bit of an aside, but that there's the protected class, there's the plebs, the regular people, like everyone else, you know, and then there's the persecuted class, which is like a unique class, like Julian Assange, or at the moment Donald Trump.
00:11:57.000Where it's like, it doesn't really matter what you've done, they wanna, it's just, it's personal, kind of class of people.
00:12:03.000There's the persecuted, the protected, and then the we don't care.
00:12:07.000Though we don't care, people can get scooped up and pushed around sometimes, and sometimes they get ignored.
00:12:12.000There might be someone who committed a crime, and they're like, oh, I don't know about this, whatever.
00:12:15.000Then you have the protected, the political elites and their cronies and their followers and worshippers.
00:12:21.000And then you, of course, have the persecuted, the people like the woman in Alaska whose home was raided because she looked like a woman who went in the Capitol building.
00:12:58.000And they have denied him his psychiatric medicine.
00:13:02.000They have trashed, he's tried to keep journals and they just come through and throw all his papers away.
00:13:07.000He's not been given, he has two daughters that he had not seen for all for those two years plus two young daughters and he was finally going to get to see them the week after I was in to visit him and that is just whatever the wildest thing in the world they want to accuse him of that they might even charge him with he would have already had time served but they're keeping him in there in dire conditions still not a trial date military veteran not charged with any violence because they can't because because not of what he did but because of what he believed and that's a great example of what Jack Posobiec is talking about
00:13:41.000Is this the indefinite detention because of the clause and, like, what, the NDAA, I think?
00:14:37.000So the only person who can really fix this is the next president.
00:14:41.000So we're going to get them on the record now so voters can be informed going to the ballot box in terms of how these people are going to handle what I believe is the greatest civil rights violation of our day.
00:14:51.000How many people are in prison right now from January 6th?
00:15:14.000The thing is, and this is the most disgusting part of it to me, is that the Department of Justice's attitude is that you might be able to beat the charges but you can't beat the ride and you can't afford it.
00:15:24.000So a lot of people are just taking a plea agreement to just get out of it even though they're not guilty.
00:15:28.000And in fact, I really have to admire William Cressman because he was offered a plea agreement.
00:15:33.000He had to agree to the two lesser charges and he had to condemn President Trump.
00:16:03.000What's that that tactic where they make you they come in and make you say things that you know aren't true to break you and then they're like re-education kind of mentality.
00:16:13.000I've never heard of that in the United States before.
00:16:15.000Maybe they did to the Japanese internment prisoners during World War II.
00:16:19.000Well, what they want to do is they're using these people as pawns in hopes that they turn on President Trump.
00:16:23.000Because if they say, oh, I did it because President Trump told me, that makes it easier for them, the prosecution, to go after President Trump and say, hey, we got all these people telling them that you did this because... Haven't people already done that, though?
00:16:48.000I don't know what he's done behind the scenes, but what I do know is the only person who can really do anything is the next president.
00:16:55.000And that's the only person who's got any ability to move this.
00:16:58.000And look, my take on it is that they should be given blanket pardons, especially because the vast majority of these people have not been charged with violence.
00:17:05.000You think it's the next president, so for two years these people are just screwed like Biden?
00:18:39.000The idea that the DOJ can take people and hold them now more than two years later, often in solitary, which is torture, without charge or trial.
00:18:52.000You know, Iran only held our hostages for 444 days.
00:18:56.000These people have been in over for 800, still waiting on a trial date.
00:18:59.000My guess is that the administration feels like if they're all let out and pardoned that Trump, that they think Trump will actually create a revolution and they think that those people will be the foot soldiers.
00:19:10.000And that's like such a dumb... I think it's just intimidating other people.
00:19:15.000I really think that the reason that the people that are still in prison for the J6 riot and stuff is just because they want the rest of America to be like, Well, you know, they're not going to observe or respect your rights.
00:19:32.000They're going to hold you in violation of the Fifth Amendment, your right to a speedy trial and stuff.
00:19:39.000They're just going to Run roughshod over the constitution.
00:19:44.000If the federal government feels it's acceptable to kill a US citizen because they have a suspicion that they're a terrorist or because they don't like some of the things that they were saying, then I don't think that it's ridiculous to think that the government wants to use its power to intimidate other Americans, you know?
00:20:47.000But the people- I talk about this a lot.
00:20:50.000The reason why Blackstone's formulation was so important, the reason why we have the right to a speedy trial,
00:20:56.000innocent until proven guilty, it's the founding fathers believed that
00:21:00.000if people could be held criminally in prison or jail, even if they were innocent,
00:21:08.000there would be no incentive to be a good citizen if at any point you could be arrested.
00:21:12.000This is why it's better that ten guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer.
00:21:16.000Because if people believe, if I'm truly a good person, the system will protect me, now we can see the inversion of that.
00:21:25.000They don't care, but here's the important point.
00:21:29.000If people start to believe, and unfortunately it's true, that no matter what you do, The Biden administration, the cult, these evil depraved people are going to use the weight of force against you.
00:22:08.000About a thousand, two thousand people are marching down the street.
00:22:10.000Anthony Bologna, the cop, walks up to three random women who were not a part of the march and pepper sprays them because they were yelling.
00:22:20.000The fastest viral video in history at that point.
00:22:22.0001.2 million views in less than a day, in like 12 hours.
00:22:26.000Igniting Occupy Wall Street across the country.
00:22:29.000When law enforcement uses heavy-handed tactics, it is a spark on kindling.
00:22:34.000And what scares me about what we're seeing with the Biden administration and the J6ers is that it's sending a message to people not to be scared of them, but that they are illegitimate.
00:23:33.000Maybe being in the government is not a realm of trust.
00:23:36.000You're afraid and you're always on the defensive perhaps.
00:23:40.000That's part of why I don't run in that way.
00:23:41.000History shows that there's It's a silver lining to this because how many of the great leaders who've done wonderful things for their country at some point in their early life were political prisoners?
00:23:52.000Like Mandela or Martin Luther King or in India Veer Savarkar.
00:23:56.000That's a pattern throughout history of great positive revolutionary leaders at some point crossed a civil disobedience line or crossed the administration and and ended up in prison and that you can see that in countries all over the world.
00:24:10.000I don't think we're quite at civil war yet and I'm gonna because here's the real here's the problem as I see it as a community organizer somebody that does voter registration and voter turnout in the Georgia Senate runoff.
00:24:23.000In the urban counties, the progressive urban counties, turnout was in the mid-80s.
00:24:30.000In the rural counties, where I think at least as many voters are, turnout was in the mid-50s.
00:24:36.000And there you have the outcome of the election.
00:24:38.000If turnout in those rural counties was anywhere close to the urban areas, Those people would have a louder voice, but unfortunately they do not turn out, they're not part of the ballot harvesting machine, they're not part of the voting culture, and that's where I'm putting my effort to try to change.
00:24:53.000I wouldn't do too well in a civil war, I've got terrible vision, but in terms of community organizing and in elections, I think it's there if we just have to seize it.
00:25:02.000And you know, our constituency is disaffected, patriotic Americans of rural and blue-collar backgrounds, and the best example of somebody like this from history is Dorothy from Wizard of Oz.
00:25:14.000From a poor background, probably her family didn't own that farm.
00:25:18.000They were at the whims of much more powerful forces in the economy and in the government.
00:25:22.000And she was just blown off with a tornado to some foreign land where she had absolutely no control and no power.
00:25:28.000But what she realized by the end is that she had the power all along in her ruby slippers and she just needed to tap them together and say, home sweet home.
00:25:35.000If we can just get our people in the same way to recognize if they cast those ballots, an informed ballot, and get engaged with the process, they can solve their problems.
00:25:46.000How do you feel about voting machines?
00:25:49.000Like, I'm very concerned about proprietary voting machines where we can't see the code, so we don't know if they're flipping vote tallies in the background.
00:25:54.000How do you foresee a solution to at least create transparency so that we know for sure that it's giving us accurate vote tallies?
00:26:02.000So I have documented cases where the voting machines made a mistake.
00:26:09.000And there was a county where this happened.
00:26:14.000But what I think is the solution long term is to insist on open source voting equipment.
00:26:19.000You know, pan count, that's technically open source.
00:26:21.000And even if you don't believe, because, you know, all these Democrats and leftists were saying before 2020 that, oh, I see these machines changing votes right in front of my eyes.
00:26:35.000But even if you don't believe that, there's a lot of good reasons to switch to open source voting equipment, which is that it's a hell of a lot cheaper.
00:26:51.000Whereas if it's open source, you can have an in-state tech company and create in-state jobs to maintain it and update it.
00:26:56.000And I'll tell you, it's really more of a Republican issue now, but there was a Democrat in Congress who was a scientist, and he actually proposed a law Mandating that all voting equipment be open source.
00:27:06.000So even in places like California, we're making progress on that front.
00:27:10.000And honestly, I have not seen any evidence of machines intentionally changing the outcome of a vote, and I've seen a lot of evidence to the contrary.
00:27:17.000But it's really about restoring trust of the public.
00:27:21.000They need to have a Matt Brainerd walk in and see, oh yes, these machines are correct, the code is right, it's doing what it says it can do, to restore their trust in the voting system.
00:27:28.000And I think that's why so many on the left oppose it, is because they don't want the trust restored, because they want people discouraged from voting.
00:27:58.000It says, on behalf of the partners of Peaky Blinders, Stephen Knight, Cillian Murphy, Karen Mandebok Productions, Tiger Aspect Productions, and Banajay Writes.
00:28:07.000We confirm the footage of Tommy Shelby's character used within the video posted by Ron DeSantis' campaign was obtained without permission or official license.
00:28:16.000We do not support nor endorse the video's narrative and strongly disapprove of the use of the content in this manner.
00:28:21.000And then we also have this from The Hill.
00:28:24.000Republican LGBTQ group blasts DeSantis over homophobic campaign video.
00:28:30.000I don't know if they actually post it, but you guys might remember this.
00:28:38.000Where it's like Trump with the pride flag and saying, you know, like, we're going to protect our LGBTQ supporter, our LGBT supporters.
00:28:46.000And then it starts showing all these news clippings of Ron DeSantis, you know, rejecting a lot of the more modern woke stuff.
00:28:52.000My take on it was it's absurd to conflate Donald Trump saying the typical or the more traditional live and let live position with the modern woke grooming position.
00:29:04.000Like Trump is not supporting grooming and the stuff that DeSantis is going after now that we support is stopping the exploitation of children.
00:29:11.000To conflate those two things to make it seem like Trump supported grooming today is completely wrong but it's resulted in a major backlash where now I'm seeing on Twitter this has been happening for the past week or so we've been out and now even Peaky Blinders coming out and attacking him over it.
00:29:26.000I'm not surprised the media and Hollywood or whatever would come after him, but even conservatives are criticizing him for this.
00:29:32.000You know, I sort of put on my political consultant hat with this one, and this is just one other case of DeSantis' staff screwing up his chances.
00:29:51.000Some edgy outside group created this, but then somebody who has access to the campaign account saw that, and they thought, oh, let's retweet this one, because then it made something that was an outside group that had distance from the campaign.
00:30:02.000Maybe it got a few voters their way, or made people ask questions, oh, how committed is Trump to the anti-groomer agenda?
00:30:11.000And basically by retweeting, they took ownership of the video.
00:30:14.000And look, I run in the same circles of people that work for DeSantis and all the other campaigns.
00:30:20.000And inside, the complaints about his staff screwing up his campaign have been persistent and growing louder going back months.
00:30:30.000And here's the problem is that when you're a governor of a state and you win a seat by a large margin because you're a great governor, which he is, and your opponent is terrible, everybody on the staff thinks they're the ones that earned you that 19-point victory.
00:30:45.000And in terms of expanding from a governor's race to a national race, which is from T-ball to Major League Baseball, you have to expand that circle of trust.
00:30:53.000And what he's done is he's taken a team that didn't really do a lot to get him through a governor's race and now, oh, now we're running a presidential campaign.
00:31:00.000And he has to learn to expand his circle of trust to get people who are not going to allow bonehead mistakes like that to happen.
00:31:07.000Because, look, there's a lot of stuff going on that has been tremendously detrimental to his campaign.
00:31:20.000Have been rolling around in it like crazy.
00:31:23.000Picking fights with a women's group in New Hampshire because they double-scheduled an event in New Hampshire with the most powerful Republican women's group in the state.
00:31:30.000Everyone's saying, oh, we're sorry, we'll move it to a different date or a different time or something like that.
00:31:35.000They said, oh, we'll pick a fight with these guys.
00:32:54.000I went to his rallies in 2015 and 2016.
00:32:57.000When the rally was over, he'd walk up to the front of the stage, the barricades, and he would just hang out and shake hands and just talk to whoever was there.
00:33:33.000Matt, do you think that, because as far as I can tell, the strategy that DeSantis has is to attack Trump from the right.
00:33:40.000Do you think that that's a winning strategy?
00:33:45.000I'm not sure that that is his strategy.
00:33:48.000I think it's been different things at different times, which is part of the problem.
00:33:53.000Look, it was going to be an uphill battle to begin with, and I think what was a little bit unexpected was that the indictments would actually—and first, I could see this, I'm sure everyone at this table could see this—but the indictments were actually very helpful to consolidating the base to Trump, and they did something else, is they sucked all the oxygen out of the air for all the other candidates.
00:34:12.000Plus with the fact that you've got all these other candidates coming in, if it was a mano-a-mano it might be a different story because I think what DeSantis' value proposition is that I'm just as conservative, if not more conservative, but I can actually deliver on what I say because I'll point out to, you know, things that Trump couldn't quite get done.
00:34:28.000Do you feel like Trump's, because I feel like Trump's strength wasn't in that he was particularly conservative.
00:34:35.000His strength was that he would take the fight to the left.
00:34:39.000So Trump didn't have to be like, you know, he was he was friendly to LGBT issues and stuff like that.
00:34:47.000And he didn't really come from The conservative, especially the religious conservative.
00:34:54.000I mean, everybody remembers the whole, you know, the Bible's my favorite book of the Bible, you know, that that exchange.
00:35:00.000So I don't feel like he was ever particularly far to the right.
00:35:07.000I think that there are issues where he was to the right of the party.
00:35:09.000On immigration, he was by far the most right-wing candidate in 2016 because right before he went down that elevator, escalator, he had read Ann Coulter's book on immigration and that fired him up and that really put him on the map.
00:36:14.000Here's the video from DeSantis' War Room.
00:36:16.000To wrap up Pride Month, let's hear from the politician who did more than any other Republican to celebrate it.
00:36:20.000And they insult Trump for what actually was good.
00:36:24.000I know a lot of people are not happy with the Pride flag and the current woke stuff, but we've had this conversation for years.
00:36:30.000Nine million Obama voters switched to the Republican Party, and one of the big issues was Donald Trump was very much like, these are our Americans.
00:38:56.000It's like all of that, and I feel like whoever created it was like, we're trying to get to these guys, and maybe they're not the most savvy, right?
00:39:03.000But somebody hit the retweet button on that campaign account, and that is...
00:39:10.000They don't belong to that job anymore.
00:39:12.000Just find out one person who needs to be fired from the campaign.
00:39:31.000I love his track record in Florida, but the man is incompetent.
00:39:34.000If he cannot fire his people after all of these blunders, the dude is not fit to be president.
00:39:40.000Yeah, and it's like, it's fine to have, like, if you wanted to actually, if the campaign wanted to get a video like this out there to undermine Trump among, say, a certain portion of the right, you have like an outside group just sort of put it up, like it was originally, like some weird thing that circulated through the discords and the telegrams where those people, where those people live and don't touch grass.
00:40:25.000Yeah, yeah, but I mean maybe the campaign did create it and they want to get it out too, but you don't, you do these things, like I said, I've been in this field since the mid 90s, that's why I keep saying 96.
00:40:37.000This is old school political operation.
00:40:39.000You have somebody else attack, you have some other source go after them, a distant proxy, so you keep your hands clean, and they just dove face first into the mud with this one.
00:41:26.000I said there's like a 55% chance Trump actually fires a bunch of these people, and that's the best we can hope for.
00:41:31.000If the probability between- if the probability is higher that Trump will fire the bureaucrats over at his hand as you vote for Trump, DeSantis won't even fire his own bad staff members, and we're supposed to believe he's going to end the Department of Education or the IRS or something?
00:41:47.000In his defense, I would caution you with one thing, and that is that it's a long way to Iowa, to New Hampshire, to South Carolina, and a lot of these candidates can make their course corrections.
00:41:57.000You never know what's going to happen next.
00:42:05.000I mean, we had on, uh, I'm not gonna say the names of these people because they're duplicitous liars, but we had a guest on the Culture War show who tried playing this game of, like, name a policy from DeSantis, and no matter what I said, she just kept asking the same questions as if I didn't say anything, because of course they were clip farming and they intended to lie the whole time.
00:42:22.000But DeSantis' policies based in Florida, how he handled COVID, was good.
00:42:27.000When it comes to the books that they're being removed from these schools, good.
00:42:30.000When it comes to saying you can't have kids at these events, good.
00:42:34.000Clearly, in terms of culture war issues, we care about he is doing a good job.
00:42:41.000When it comes to attracting business and new residents, when it comes to taxes, he's doing a great job.
00:42:46.000Don't get me wrong, the Republican legislature in Florida is probably doing a lot of the heavy lifting, but we like these things because they matter to us.
00:42:53.000Then, when it comes to his terrible team, He can't handle it?
00:42:58.000I am begging the DeSantis campaign to fire these people so that I can come out tomorrow and say, I'm on Team DeSantis.
00:43:08.000And the thing is, too, I've been all over the country, I've met with a lot of people who we need to win over, and a lot of them, they would be more happy to vote for DeSantis than for Trump at this point in time.
00:43:19.000For some reason, they just don't get along with Trump.
00:43:21.000And I think that, look, I actually met the governor before he started running for president.
00:43:26.000I had a small chat with him, just one-on-one, and he was great.
00:43:30.000And I think that he wrote a book recently, it was published, right?
00:43:36.000And I read it, I went from beginning to end, and it was a nice book, good biography, But I don't think enough of him was in it.
00:43:44.000Like, he talked about his whole baseball career, right?
00:43:46.000He played baseball in high school and college, very proud.
00:43:48.000But I feel like he needed to be more involved.
00:43:50.000There's something wrong with the book because it never told me what position he played.
00:43:52.000So imagine talking about how proud you are to play baseball, but the book, maybe I missed it.
00:43:58.000However, before he ever ran for Congress, after he got out of the Navy, he actually wrote a book that I am sure he had to have written himself because he didn't have a bunch of people around him helping.
00:44:06.000And it was Dreams of Our Founding Fathers.
00:44:09.000There were only 100 or so copies published.
00:44:11.000I got one of them, made a copy of it myself, and I started reading because I want to know these guys.
00:44:15.000The difference between those two books, the one that came out recently that probably had many editors and a lot of help, and the one he had to have written himself, he self-published 120 copies.
00:44:25.000He would go to GOP events and sell it at a card table.
00:44:33.000It is that level of understanding of our founding fathers, of principles, of how articulated it is.
00:44:38.000I'd love to see more of the Ron DeSantis that wrote that book than wrote the new one.
00:44:42.000But if he is so weak that he has handed off these issues to lesser skilled individuals, then he has shown he does not have what it takes to be president.
00:44:52.000He can have great policy all he wants, but just like Tim said, if you can't get elected, if you can't win, then it doesn't matter.
00:45:04.000If he's showing us that he has bad people working in his campaign and he does nothing about it, what do you think is going to happen when he's in government?
00:45:13.000He is in a position where if he were doing a better job campaigning, he should have a significantly smaller gap between him and Trump.
00:45:26.000Trump's got a lot of downside, regardless of whether you support him or not.
00:45:30.000There's a lot of things people can criticize Trump for.
00:46:57.000That could be the moment that turns the campaign around.
00:47:00.000And then he does, he reaches out, he has this type of conversation, which I know he's capable of, and then his poll numbers go whoosh.
00:47:08.000I believe, whether it is this show or any other show, if Ron DeSantis came out and sat down and had a real conversation where they addressed the deepfakes, where they talked about this ad, his polling would skyrocket double digits overnight.
00:47:23.000overnight. His predicted would jump way up, but he's avoiding it, hoping to make it all go away
00:47:30.000like it's 1993 and we're using old school PR tactics of if you say nothing it goes away.
00:47:35.000Yeah, take a look at Bud Light, dude. People aren't forgetting these things,
00:47:39.000they're taking them seriously. And you know, President Trump has
00:47:42.000demonstrated that you can put people in positions of great power
00:47:44.000and then fire them and shit talk them endlessly.
00:47:50.000Let's jump to this next story about Bud Light, because this is big.
00:47:54.000For the post-millennial, bottling plants shut down after Bud Light's sales tank amid Dylan Mulvaney partnership.
00:48:00.000So the news is 645 jobs lost, employees out of work, after the R-Dog group Shut down two plants according to WRAL it was because there was a decrease in demand falling bud light sales and thus they had no reason to make bottles anymore because bud light doesn't need them.
00:48:21.000Ladies and gentlemen, This is winning the culture war, and this is substantive, but there was always going to be collateral damage.
00:48:28.000I feel bad for the people who lost their jobs because of this, but it's the fault of Bud Light.
00:48:35.000It's really tragic, but there's sort of the other side of it.
00:48:36.000It's not like America's drinking less beer, so maybe there are 450 or 500 more jobs created, another plant making the bottles.
00:48:45.000But I know the company's still wildly profitable, but this is sort of the same trick that Amazon does.
00:48:49.000It's not a Budweiser plant, it's a subcontractor.
00:48:51.000So it's the subcontractor that has to eat all the dirt and the bad decisions that the contractor made.
00:48:59.000And InBev is a, what is it, Belgian-Brazilian company anyway, so I'm not, no offense, I'm not too concerned if they go bankrupt.
00:49:06.000I mean, I'm not all gung-ho on America right now, but I'd like to see these people go get a job with an American brewing company like Yingling or something.
00:49:29.000These other bottling plants are doubling their workload, and these people are getting laid off.
00:49:34.000Not really a great situation, but I just want to say, This is actually a sign of permanent economic damage to a brand that decided to get woke.
00:49:44.000The damage to the brand probably can't be overstated.
00:50:32.000They did can the woman that was... They're denying it, but it's been reported that the woman and the guy have been... two people were removed.
00:50:43.000Well, you know they got a fat severance package.
00:50:55.000But literally, according to sources in the company, they're considered completely severed from the company.
00:51:01.000The reason they're not firing them is because Anheuser-Busch fears a lawsuit.
00:51:06.000They fear that they'll get sued, some labor dispute.
00:51:09.000So by putting them on an indefinite leave and saying nothing...
00:51:12.000They can get rid of them, they're fired effectively, but officially they're not fired.
00:51:16.000But they're also going to become folk heroes on the left, they're going to get a well-paid job with any number of left-wing groups that are supportive of what they did, so they're going to land very well, I don't have any doubt.
00:51:26.000Maybe, but the left is clearly losing.
00:51:31.000I think virtue signaling loses, and it especially loses in business, man.
00:51:35.000When all you care about is making a profit, nobody cares what you think.
00:51:40.000Yeah, but who's bearing the... I get it, and I guess companies are now a lot more cautious about doing anything woke, right?
00:51:46.000But look at what happened here, and look who actually paid the price.
00:51:49.000These blue-collar workers who probably vote the way we like them to vote, who are good, loyal Americans, they're the ones out of their job.
00:51:56.000The people who are responsible for the decision, they're getting golden parachutes, they're gonna get... go work for GLAAD or one of the left-wing homosexual groups or something.
00:52:52.000What Bud Light was doing with Dylan Mulvaney, I believe, is the banality of evil.
00:52:57.000The algorithm is propping up this Borat-like character that is insulting to most people, and you, working at these factories and supporting Bud Light, are one of the individuals holding up that machine, engaging in the banality of evil.
00:53:12.000I don't blame people for not knowing, because people try to do good, and we try to inform them, but I'm not going to shed a tear if There is an evil organization doing evil things.
00:53:26.000If you're the henchman for a supervillain and you get fired because the villain's been arrested, I'm not going to be like, oh, that's really sad he's out of a job.
00:53:32.000I'll be like, good, less henchman for the villain.
00:53:34.000I just don't think you can hold somebody with a 90 IQ who's doing everything they can within the law to raise their family and doesn't have the capability of seeing what you and I can see because we're in this world.
00:53:45.000They're just innocent civilians that got caught up in this.
00:53:48.000They are components of a machine that is engaging in cultural destruction, decay, and the banality of evil.
00:53:54.000I don't blame them as individuals for marching in lockstep with an evil machine, but if we're going to stop the cultural degradation, they have to lose their jobs.
00:54:04.000But the people who made the decisions are not punished at all, and they're just going to go on to the next company and do it again.
00:54:11.000The people at the bottom are holding this machine up.
00:54:14.000I do not believe the goal is to intentionally hurt the regular workers.
00:54:17.000But even if you wanted to punish them, there's no amount of punishment that's going to make them understand what they need to understand to fix this.
00:54:32.000You're not, you're never gonna get, even if they fire the CEO, you're talking about cutting off the head of a Hydra, two more grow back in its place.
00:54:38.000These individual workers, the bottling plants that are producing Bud Light and selling it, are generating the profits for an evil machine.
00:54:45.000You could seize the company with the government and then strip the corporation.
00:55:30.000I think we succeeded in a way because, look, these guys are going to not make as much money as they would have otherwise.
00:55:36.000Two people who are pretty high profile kind of lost their jobs and are going to have a tough time of it.
00:55:41.000And we can see the effect just because all these companies that are so eager to celebrate Pride Month, regardless of what you think of it, they kind of toned it down a little.
00:55:47.000And some other companies sort of backed off some of the woke stuff.
00:56:18.000I don't know if it's corporatism or capitalism that protects the CEO and the owners of the company when they can just liquidate their work staff and they don't have to pay any price for destroying their company's profits.
00:56:28.000You would say that's why communism, some people might want it because the government can go take the company away and say you misused it, you're gone.
00:56:35.000That's not even communism, I mean there can be consumer protections in a capitalist system.
00:56:39.000Where you would go strip the CEO of his job, of his duty, and take the stockholder's stock away?
00:56:44.000Through due process, if a crime is committed.
00:56:54.000That's why we have a capitalist system, and it's better than communism, but how do you protect the workers?
00:56:59.000Alright, so you pass laws protecting workers.
00:57:02.000You can have a capitalism that says, specifically, if you intentionally destroy the company to hurt workers, there can be some kind of intervention.
00:57:40.000Yeah, and to your questions, how do you solve this in a capitalist system?
00:57:43.000You know, the original union organizer, who is not a communist, he's an immigrant named Samuel Gompers, had the solution.
00:57:49.000And that was for workers to form a union and use their bargaining power to actually acquire the company.
00:57:56.000So it's the workers that own the company.
00:57:58.000So they pool their funds, they buy more and more stock, more positions to eventually a situation where the founder dies and passes on and then they sell the company to the workers.
00:58:06.000So when you have a worker-owned company, it provides a lot of protection.
00:58:09.000Unfortunately, the union movement in this country went into the direction of politics and aiding politics and wanting not to take over management.
00:58:17.000But to fight with management for purposes of demagoguing and delivering votes to a political party.
00:58:22.000So that's kind of where we lost our way.
00:58:56.000So I got some news in this related area and I seek advice from our loyal viewers.
00:59:03.000So as many of you know we're working on a coffee shop and there are some issues related to laws which are causing it to get delayed massively.
00:59:12.000It's an old building and so in order to get it up to code and everything it's a ridiculous amount of work and it's a historical building so then there's like You gotta have a lot of paperwork.
00:59:21.000So we're looking at Charlestown, West Virginia.
00:59:36.000And I said, how cool would it be to set up our first or second location, depending on which gets done first, of Casper Coffee here in downtown Charlestown?
00:59:44.000We went and met with the two agents, our agent and their agent.
00:59:59.000Afterwards, we went across the street to get breakfast.
01:00:02.000And while I was getting breakfast at a little diner called Grandma's Diner, there was a newspaper called The Spirit of Jefferson.
01:00:07.000In it, I learned that Charlestown passed a Pride Month resolution.
01:00:10.000The City Council of Charlestown, West Virginia, voted to declare June Pride Month in support of all the blah blah blah and long-winded garbage.
01:00:44.000And we start changing the culture for the better.
01:00:47.000What if that doesn't work and the town keeps moving in this negative direction and they end up doing things that are shocking and offensive to our customers, to our friends and fans, and we lose that fight and waste all of our money?
01:00:58.000The argument against it is maybe, maybe the city needs to see economic fallout from making decisions like this so that the people of the town get angry.
01:01:10.000So I wonder, I kind of lean towards the best thing to do is actually invest in the town and buy the business and then put up flags and signs saying like no to all of this, invite people down and start shaping the culture with our resources and force.
01:01:25.000There is the potential of going to the city and saying, so long as you have this resolution in effect, we will not spend a dime here.
01:01:33.000I feel like that one doesn't necessarily work as much.
01:01:35.000It may sound good, but it's like if your money was never available to the city in the first place, they don't care what you think.
01:01:41.000If your money becomes available and you say, but I want to see this thing no longer in force, you may actually make a difference.
01:01:47.000So I'm curious what the people, for those of you that are listening, what do you think is the best thing to do?
01:01:52.000Should we open a shop in Charlestown, West Virginia, even though just now, in June, only a couple weeks ago, five to three of the city voted in support of Pride Month, which is just so insane, there's a whole month dedicated to whatever it is they're doing.
01:02:06.000Or should we just tell them, go to the agents, and say, hey, let the people in the city know, when you tell them you can't sell the building, it's because we don't want to invest in a town like this.
01:02:17.000You know, it's funny you bring this up, because your point of view on this is sort of the moral argument of having the conversation with the city, what do you want to do, what consequences do you want to face?
01:02:27.000And I think that the reality is that there's no entity to have that discussion with and there's no entity that would react to say losing a business or entry.
01:02:35.000I actually do these campaigns all over the country constantly for other things like somebody wants to build a new super center for a big, like a big box store, right?
01:02:47.000So I get in and, you know, either help them defeat or help them bring it in or something like that.
01:02:50.000It sounds like all you really need to do is flip two city council seats.
01:02:55.000You get a stealth campaign, you find two good candidates, you fund them, and you take it over, and you say, no more Pride Month.
01:03:00.000And you know, that's the exact same way that George Soros took over all these prosecutors.
01:03:05.000Get a stealth campaign, get a smart political consultant, recruit the candidates, and you flip it, and then you have... Well, that ain't me.
01:03:12.000I'm just telling you, that's... Maybe it's something you could do, I don't know.
01:03:34.000The issue, I, yes, more so I think the issue is Even though the majority of people oppose all of that stuff, they do not do anything.
01:03:45.000They don't vote, they don't get up, they don't speak out, they complain in private, and it's really, really frustrating.
01:03:50.000The idea that West Virginia, the second most Trump-supporting state in the country, would allow woke prosecutors, and they do, in Martinsburg, they had a drag show in public with children and brought them on stage, which is illegal in West Virginia, unquestionably illegal, And no one's doing anything about it.
01:04:14.000The people, it's surprising, a rural county in West Virginia voted for woke district, woke prosecutors.
01:04:22.000It sounds like there's a void of organization in this world, and especially in this country, and particularly in West Virginia, but probably a lot of states, that we need to develop some sort of organization, like we need to If it's just like, sorry, little kids on stage with people waving their junk around out of their face, whatever.
01:04:40.000Like, someone needs to go in there and not lay down the law, but create order.
01:04:44.000The average person is still, like, learning about this stuff.
01:04:47.000Like, most people don't really have a deep knowledge about things like queer theory.
01:04:58.000Well, then you've got the whole half of the country feeding a narrative that this isn't about trying to abuse kids.
01:05:06.000You've got the whole media establishment trying to convince people that this isn't about trying to indoctrinate kids into a political mindset.
01:05:14.000But you don't need to understand anything about queer theory to be like, hey, that child on stage taking his clothes off for money is a very bad thing.
01:05:22.000Well, look, the reason this has advanced as far as it has is because the left is well-funded and well-organized.
01:05:28.000Flipping these back the other way, Martinsville—Martinsville or Martinsburg?
01:05:40.000That means, look, if we can just get the right people informed and turn out to vote—and it's not that hard.
01:05:46.000It just takes organization, a little bit of funding, and it's not that hard.
01:05:50.000Well, I was like, you know, I was talking to the agent, saying like, I'm not sure it's a good idea to invest in a town that wants to go the direction of Bud Light.
01:05:59.000Clearly, we are seeing a major backlash to what Bud Light, Target, Starbucks, and these other companies have done to the tune of tens of billions of dollars.
01:06:08.000And I'm supposed to invest my money and start my business in a town that's going that same direction?
01:06:32.000And you may just be the person that could do it.
01:06:33.000The degree of pressure I would exert is talking about it on this show, having events at our coffee shop with comedians, putting up flags in the window or something.
01:06:41.000That may be all it takes to find the additional community organizers to go out and go hit doors and explain it, because most of the voters who even voted for the five people They probably didn't even know that they voted that way.
01:07:03.000It is disheartening to know that, all right, I'm going to invest in this community, and there's people in this community that obviously are not active or not aware of political things that affect us or that we care about.
01:07:20.000But again, five to three is not eight to zero.
01:07:25.000I think that most of the problem is that conservatives are still mostly unaware, you know, people that would have a problem with this kind of stuff are still mostly unaware, um, that there are things like this going on.
01:07:38.000And, and if you can just wake them, you know, make them aware of it, not, it's not even about waking them up.
01:07:44.000Cause I've said before, all of the people that I talk to that are left-leaning that are, You know, your default Democrats.
01:07:53.000When it comes to the LGBTQIA plus stuff, the trans issues and stuff like that, even the most progressive of progressives say things like, look, they is a word that has a meaning and it's useful.
01:08:59.000However, I do find her to be duplicitous in that we've agreed with her and Cenk on so many things, but they always pretend to oppose us, which is the weirdest thing ever.
01:09:09.000If she came in here and sat down, we would be like, you're completely right on all of your points.
01:09:29.000Because there's two big components to what the left commentary does.
01:09:33.000Lie about what's actually happening because they're ideologues who believe there's no truth but power.
01:09:37.000So they're justified in their lies to gain power.
01:09:40.000Or they're saying whatever they think is in opposition to the right.
01:09:46.000So if anything criticizes them, they're on the other side of it.
01:09:49.000If anyone says this book is bad, then the book must be good.
01:09:53.000So when Anna comes out and says, don't call me a birthing person, or having a bonus hole, they say, you're lying, that never happened, or you're right wing.
01:10:02.000I noticed that same thing with Ilad's footage of the people that were marching saying, we're here, we're queer, we're coming for your children.
01:10:09.000And in the comments, they're like, no, no, that was just a moment at the march where there was somebody inciting that thing.
01:10:16.000Someone got in the way and started that chant.
01:10:18.000And I'm like, I just watched the video five times.
01:10:21.000I saw him say it a lot, and there were a lot of people.
01:10:24.000I don't have Any evidence that someone was there inciting that, and it just seemed like lies.
01:10:27.000It was like a cognitive dissonant thing, like, I cannot accept this, I must lie, I must say it didn't happen.
01:10:32.000It's that cycle where first they say, oh, it's not happening, it's just conspiracy theory, and they say, oh, it's sort of happening, it doesn't matter, and then they say, oh, it's a good thing it's happening, and that's what NBC eventually wrote, is that, oh, this is a time-honored chant among the homosexuals.
01:10:44.000Chanting that they're coming for your children is a normal thing.
01:11:11.000They're looking to get in touch with you.
01:11:13.000But she came out and she's said that, you know, the Kyle Rittenhouse case, she understands, you know, and she's on Kyle Rittenhouse's side, which is in opposition to Cenk's position.
01:11:30.000A birthing person or a uterus haver or whatever.
01:11:32.000So there's a lot of things that are going on on the left that she's started to have an issue with and you know kudos to her because she's taken a hell.
01:11:39.000Like every other sane liberal person who realized what was going on became a disaffected liberal.
01:11:42.000Yeah you know and and like I said kudos to her because she's taken a a ton of hell for it but you know the fact that she actually can acknowledge that look this is a lie and one of the things she said on the on the on Adam such an Adam stream was that People were gaslighting her, and she's like, I know that you're lying to me, and I can't believe that you're still continuing to gaslight me.
01:12:06.000Because it's not about her, it's about the listeners.
01:12:10.000So what a lot of these channels do, which, I'll leave, there's many of them, they just fabricate everything.
01:12:18.000They don't care, either because they're ideologically or capitalistically driven.
01:12:28.000It's remarkable that you look to these prominent lefties who are talking about all this, you know, I believe in helping people and socialism, and it's like, oh, who have you supported and donated to?
01:12:50.000It is the pro-abortion side and the pro-life side.
01:12:52.000Because the pro-choicers are, like, in the middle and, like, typically not siding with conservatives on a lot of issues.
01:12:57.000I mean, like, actual pro-choice, where they were, like, maybe within the first few weeks, but post-viability, no abortion.
01:13:01.000The reasonable Democrat position from a while ago.
01:13:03.000The pro-abortion crowd is just lying about everything.
01:13:07.000I forgot exactly where I was going, but that's basically the gist of it.
01:13:11.000You've got people who have found themselves silenced and in the middle as the left just says whatever it is is the opposite of the right and then lies about what's actually happening to wind power.
01:13:23.000You take a look at post-birth abortion, how people are claiming that it's not actually happening, but they're legislating to be legal.
01:13:27.000Oh yeah, all the media claiming that no one ever brought it up when Northam literally talked about even resuscitating the baby and then bring it to another room to decide what to do.
01:13:38.000People that think it's good to lie, and they just do it.
01:13:40.000I had a friend growing up, and granted, we were like 13 or 14 at the time, but we would play Dungeons and Dragons, and then he'd roll, and then he'd be like, no, I got a five.
01:13:48.000I'd be like, dude, you just rolled a seven.
01:14:56.000I remember, and they used to post, I guess they were, Jimmy Dore said this, I could be wrong, that they would post photos of like, upskirt shots or something like that.
01:15:04.000I don't know if that's true or whatever, it's been a while.
01:15:11.000Hassan Piker used to be kind of like the upskirt.
01:15:14.000Not exactly, I'm not going to say he did upskirt stuff, but he was like an early YouTube guy posting like, you know, edgy girls, edgy stuff.
01:15:26.000But what I think happened with them is they had a large audience.
01:15:30.000The cultural shift started to happen in 2015 and they did not want to go against their own audience because Money was more important, so they just went along with whatever the current thing was, but eventually you break.
01:15:43.000Eventually the left starts advocating for insane things like post-birth abortion, unrestricted abortion, calling women birthing persons and bonus hole havers, and eventually you're just like, this is insane!
01:15:56.000The problem I have with the issue I take with the Young Turks is that They're still trying to pretend to be a part of whatever the left is.
01:16:05.000Yeah, they'll say things like, well, we are on the left because we believe in universal health care.
01:16:07.000It's like, oh, so do I, and I've talked about that quite a bit on this show.
01:16:11.000They'll say, yeah, well, you know, we're pro-choice.
01:16:20.000Even though Anna is pushing back against lies on the left, they still lie and pretend that they're not in agreement with us on a lot of issues.
01:16:27.000They still pretend to support things that are completely untrue.
01:16:30.000Even when Anna says something that's correct, as soon as someone on the right compliments her or says, here's what you're right about, she'll come out and say, yeah, well, you know what, but I'm still not on the right and I disagree with you.
01:16:53.000But I'll refer to this as the freedom faction or the culture war right.
01:16:57.000Like, I don't care what you call it, so long as we understand what we're talking about.
01:17:00.000Anyone that's like, I am a fill-in-the-blank, I'm a conservative, I'm a liberal, I'm a this, even I am an American, like, you are putting yourself in a box, man, and it is a dark hole.
01:17:33.000If someone came to him and wanted to work on some project with him that he would finance, do you think he would actually give them the majority of the revenue generated from the project they worked on?
01:17:48.000Whereas here, we often discuss how if we launch a project, the people working on that project will retain the majority of the revenue generated from it.
01:17:58.000We seek to foster talent and help people grow.
01:18:02.000I've publicly donated to several people in several causes.
01:18:06.000I'm not trying to start beef with him or anything like that.
01:18:09.000I'm just saying, I think these people are just entertainment personalities who will claim to support a thing like Ethan Klein or whatever.
01:18:15.000They'll feign being on a political side for entertainment value.
01:18:19.000But I guarantee you, If it ever came down to seizing the wealth of Hasan Piker, he would fight you tooth and nail.
01:18:25.000He would take up arms against a communist revolution in two seconds to stop the seizure of his multi-million dollar mansion in California.
01:19:12.000Oh, where you guys were, like, video response, picture-in-picture video response.
01:19:15.000Yeah, that was funny, that was pretty cool.
01:19:16.000But, like, he made a video, and then I responded to it saying he was correct in his assessment, here's why, and then he made a video saying that I was wrong about a bunch of things, and then laughing at some of the points.
01:19:26.000I'm like, I don't understand, like, I'm agreeing with you.
01:19:30.000The drama is good for clicks and views and ad revenue, but we gotta get to a point where we get past that.
01:19:35.000Just shuffle it off like ballast and get up into orbit.
01:19:39.000This is why I think the Culture War show, check it out at youtube.com slash TimCast, Friday mornings, 10am, is important because it's really hard for these people to pull this stuff off when they're live next to other people, which is why so many of the left refuse to come on shows live.
01:19:56.000They know in their bubble world, like you were mentioning, where people, their audience isn't exposed to anything else, they can say whatever they want.
01:20:02.000But when they're sitting here, everyone else can see them for who they really are.
01:20:05.000Let's jump to this next story from Deadline, because we've got good news, and I'm really excited to cover this story.
01:20:11.000Jim Caviezel's anti-child trafficking thriller, Sound of Freedom, notches $10 million pre-sales before July 4th.
01:21:05.000I think half the theater was crying for the first 45 minutes.
01:21:09.000There's some really great story writing in there.
01:21:11.000Really awesome stuff I'm not going to spoil.
01:21:13.000The second reason is to help foster that parallel economy.
01:21:16.000Supporting indie films that are outside of Hollywood so that industry can compete and flourish and we can push back against this garbage is extremely important.
01:21:24.000I got some questions about Sound of Freedom.
01:22:21.000I know he's working on a documentary about, I think it's about Ukraine and trafficking and stuff like this, but I don't know.
01:22:28.000I'm kind of worried about wanting to go to going to see this and then walking out of the theater wanting to go like hunt down pedophiles or something and being like so But that's the point of the film.
01:22:38.000And by hunt down, the correct answer is support legitimate organizations that team up with international law enforcement to bring these people down.
01:22:45.000This is what Ballard's organization does.
01:22:49.000You want to stop these pedos and these traffickers?
01:23:58.000There's a scene where there's a little girl in the bed, and a creepy guy walks in, and then it shows out the window and he closes the blinds.
01:24:05.000A kid would understand what was going on, but an adult would.
01:24:07.000I don't think you want to bring kids to this movie.
01:24:09.000And it's such a universally repulsive thing that this movie attacks and goes after.
01:24:16.000Even in prison, you hear stories that the people that get it worst, the worst criminals the world will turn on, is the people that get sent to prison for abusing children.
01:24:24.000So it's like a universal thing, at least in our culture, that this is the lowest of the lowest.
01:24:30.000I think the point of this film is that it's not really being taken as seriously as it should.
01:24:39.000How do you make them no longer pedophiles?
01:24:40.000Yeah, I yeah, you're not like say it's the hardest thing obviously I'm not talking about except like well
01:24:45.000No, no, they they they they I'm fairly certain that they found recidivism among child abusers is like
01:24:53.000That's the worst part And then it's the people that have been abused as kids grow up and then they think either it's okay because it happened to them or there's some sort of weird... So like, breaking that cycle is what humanity needs to do.
01:25:05.000Because we can't just kill ourselves off and stop it that way.
01:25:14.000When I was watching this movie, I started having a whole bunch of thoughts about the moral philosophy of crime and punishment and the appropriate solutions and how you deal with these people because there's a lot of people that have advocated for the death penalty for traffickers, especially, and for pedophiles.
01:25:31.000You watch this movie and you'll go, I completely understand the moral position.
01:25:38.000The issue is, and I'm watching this movie.
01:25:43.000I don't want to spoil anything, but let me just tell you.
01:25:48.000There's not a guy who's like, we're taking kids!
01:25:51.000It's like, the scary thing is the banality of it.
01:25:54.000The guy who grabs a little girl and throws her in a cargo box and then gets handed an envelope of cash and walks away like nothing happened.
01:26:28.000One percent of the people who are charged are innocent, put to death.
01:26:30.000We have a very, very, very serious problem.
01:26:32.000I side with the Founding Fathers Blackstones formulation.
01:26:36.000But when you see this film, it really makes it difficult.
01:26:40.000And I thought to myself, I don't think the Founding Fathers understood the massive scale of child sex trafficking and slavery that would be happening when they were like, we should be very, very concerned.
01:26:52.000Or maybe the reality is they truly understood the depravity of evil in this world and understood the importance of innocent until proven guilty and, you know, due process rights.
01:27:00.000But I gotta tell you, I don't know what the solution is, but when you see these crimes being perpetrated, I, oh man, I just gotta tell you, I understand why people advocate for amending the laws to have the death penalty for child exploitation.
01:27:18.000You know, one place to start would be to get our government to stop perpetuating this, because you know that in Afghanistan, this is kind of a big part of that culture, and the United States went to war against a regime that was very bad, but did outlaw this, and we allied ourselves with one that perpetuated it, and we had our own soldiers suffering PTSD.
01:27:36.000Because their allies would go in the next room and molest a child, and they were ordered not to do anything about it.
01:27:42.000And then they had to come back with that, knowing that they were protecting those people and perpetuating that government.
01:27:46.000And they still have to live with that, and God knows what the children over there have to go through.
01:28:30.000I'm surprised there's anybody who could stand that.
01:28:32.000But if nobody does that job, these evil people get away with it.
01:28:38.000And may turn other people into evil people.
01:28:42.000That's the worst part about it is it affects children when they're young and then it can twist them early and... Dude, the writing is so good.
01:28:50.000I, like, I want to spoil the movie so bad because I want to tell you just how good it was, but I can't.
01:28:57.000I had a fantasy about interviewing Charles Manson before he died because I thought if we can somehow get through to the worst of the worst and let them tell their story and you see why they became that way, maybe that's like a step towards antidote.
01:29:08.000You don't think someone like Manson actually has, like, Is sick because I I think that there are some people that are that have mental illness that are really really sick and they need They need to be taken out of regular society Not big not because I want to not want them to or I because I think that that they deserve to be punished or whatever but because they're actually sick there are medications that do help and
01:29:39.000There are people that, if they don't take their medication, they do behave in ways that are unacceptable, they harm themselves, they'll harm other people.
01:29:48.000So I don't know that I agree with the idea that you can Figure out what's wrong and just love them back to health.
01:29:58.000I think there's a lot of mental illness that is really, really, really sick people that really need the medications that they're on.
01:30:06.000And he's right, and he's right for an even bigger reason.
01:30:10.000You and him being on the edge of tears watching that movie, the reason you're on the edge of tears,
01:30:14.000the reason it makes you upset and angry is because you have something that is called empathy.
01:30:19.000And empathy requires your ability to map somebody else's mind to sort of simulate
01:30:23.000what they are feeling and what they're experiencing.
01:30:26.000Some people do not have the capability to do that.
01:30:28.000It usually tracks with being lower intelligence.
01:30:31.000That's why you have so many criminals that are also not very intelligent.
01:30:34.000And the reason is that they don't have the ability to think about how another person would feel
01:30:39.000on the receiving end of their behavior.
01:30:40.000They don't know how to do unto others as you'd like to do unto yourself.
01:30:44.000They have no idea how to imagine how anybody else would feel.
01:30:46.000They'll punch you in the face without thinking about it because it never prevents us in many ways from doing evil things.
01:30:51.000Gosh, if somebody did that to me, I would be horrified.
01:30:53.000And you empathize, so these people don't have the ability to do that, and it's not something you can really create.
01:30:58.000You know, I think there's a simple way to view a movie like this.
01:31:03.000In order for humans to survive, I'll put it in evolution terms, we protect children.
01:31:08.000Why is it that a mama grizzly is going to maul you if you get too close to her babies?
01:31:16.000Well, if we're going to simplify it in science, it's because if there is a species that does not care for its babies, it is less likely to procreate and survive and eventually will not exist.
01:31:25.000So there's a couple different evolutionary strategies.
01:31:40.000When humans see children being exploited, abused in these horrifying ways, the overwhelming majority of humans have a natural anger and sadness response because we want to protect children.
01:32:16.000You know, Vin Diesel's driving a car and the car is going to outer space with Ludacris or whatever and we're- and it's- and it's- and it's meaningless.
01:32:23.000When you watch The Sound of Freedom, You're being told a story about something tremendous and meaningful that moves you in the real world.
01:32:31.000These stories you hear about exploitation, based on a true story, obviously there's writing involved based on a true story, but they have real surveillance in this movie.
01:32:48.000So you're watching a film, That is fiction, based on a true story, overwhelmingly true, but there's, like, obviously a lot of fiction in it, and the feelings you're getting are real emotions.
01:32:59.000Whereas, like, when I'm rooting for Vin Diesel to defeat the bad guy, like, it's not a real fear.
01:33:03.000I'm not really... I don't really care if he wins or not.
01:33:06.000Once the movie's over, I'm gonna leave anyway.
01:33:08.000I'm gonna leave and throw my popcorn in the garbage and be like, eh, and I'm gonna forget what happened to Vin Diesel a day later.
01:33:13.000This movie, you feel something about the real world that moves you.
01:33:16.000And I'm like, that's why I think this movie is so good.
01:33:18.000Not only was it really well produced, great music, great pacing, cinematography on par with any other Hollywood flick, which is impressive for an indie film.
01:33:26.000It's like a story that makes you feel something real that actually matters.
01:33:29.000It sounds like it's called The Sound of Freedom because freedom is not pleasant.
01:34:05.000He says that hopefully this film can be akin to Uncle Tom's Cabin and inspire people to do something about the slavery and trafficking that is currently happening around the world today.
01:34:17.000There are more slaves in the world today than ever before, even when slavery was legal.
01:34:33.000We need to protect the kids coming across the border.
01:34:38.000When I heard about this movie and people were saying, like, you should go see it, in no way did I think anything about it was a conservative movie or what was a faith-based movie.
01:35:19.000There's a line about, you know, when God gives you the calling, and it's like, Yo, you don't have to be Christian or religious to understand concepts of fate and destiny.
01:35:46.000I don't know, it's like any other law enforcement... Here's the crazy thing.
01:35:50.000I've seen these movies about, like, fighting the cartels before, but, like, the issue in the story is not something you actually care about.
01:35:57.000Like, you watch a movie where it's based on a true story, stopping this drug cartel, I'm like, I don't care about a drug cartel.
01:36:05.000I care that we stop drug trafficking, I care that we stop these bad guys, but, like, the issue of pulling over a truck with a bunch of cocaine in it does not move me.
01:36:13.000Watching a dude save a child and seeing the reaction.
01:36:17.000These actors, these kids were really, really phenomenal.
01:36:20.000Seeing that, it's like someone reaches into your soul and starts squeezing and you can feel it.
01:36:25.000I guess I gotta say, you see that movie.
01:36:29.000If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, and head over to TimCast.com, become a member.
01:36:35.000The Members Only Show will be coming up at about 10 p.m., and we've got much, much more to talk about because there was a tragic incident that occurred these past couple of days, and we're gonna save this one because it could be spicy for the Members Only Show.
01:37:01.000We're not the first and won't be the last to face this threat.
01:37:05.000I would say what we describe as leftism today, more so it's like wokeism and I guess what I'm trying to say is, if we're talking about left economic philosophy, a lot of it is really, really bad, but it's not absolute.
01:37:24.000I think what we should clarify is, there is a cult that is an amalgam of weird leftist ideologies and economics that in many ways contradicts itself that is just burning things down.
01:37:45.000So this term leftist, be careful you don't become the enemy that you seek to quell by becoming the villain that's creating a lesser class.
01:37:52.000It's really about the twisting of the left-right paradigm that is the problem.
01:37:57.000Alright, Bellyflop says I've been really liberal for trans adults, but it's gotten to the point where it's not enough to be an ally, as they say.
01:42:17.000says, Tim, I'd just like to remind you of that working theory you had that Hunter is actually the hero of the story, trying to take his father down by destroying his reputation at every turn.
01:42:59.000I mean, you look at all the videos of Joe sniffing kids and stuff like that, and the fact that Hunter Biden allegedly called his dad, what did he call him, pedo-pete or something like that?
01:43:22.000A friend of mine, a YouTuber, 2006 and 7, he was an actual truck dispatcher and we used to make videos and kind of hated each other at first and then we became friends and then I wrote a song about him called Roger, which is out there.
01:43:32.000It's on Amazon and all sorts of platforms.
01:43:43.000Listening from behind your guest, characterizing bottle workers as low-intelligent, innocent victims is elitist bigotry of low expectations.
01:43:50.000These people don't need you to hold their hands.
01:43:54.000I guess this guy's gonna take some of that money he threw at you and use a little bit more of it to give them jobs and help them pay their mortgages and keep their kids in school, etc.
01:44:04.000Yeah, I feel bad they lost their jobs, but it's like, If there's a dude building, you know, a tower of evil, I'm not gonna be like, oh, what a good guy.
01:44:11.000It's so unfortunate that he has no job now that we've stopped the evil from building their tower, you know what I mean?
01:44:15.000My concern is, like, as citizens of the United States, and we've, with our tax money, have supported the overseas wars, the CIA coups, and things like that.
01:44:22.000Like, are we not part of this evil machine?
01:44:36.000There's a big difference between being a taxpayer and working for Bud Light.
01:44:43.000It's different, but I have a similar feeling when I think about what I'm supporting sometimes.
01:44:47.000Would it be the righteous thing if that were to be stripped away from me as one of just the feeble workers of the system?
01:44:53.000There's certainly a, uh, one thing I find very laughable is this idea that people are, are, uh, insulated from being a part of any one of these machines.
01:45:02.000Like, yeah, we, we pay taxes to the United States, which does a whole bunch of really awful and evil things.
01:45:07.000And the reality is if we wanted to, we could go and live in the wilderness.
01:45:11.000And people often say like, well, you can't because everyone owns something.
01:45:45.000The people who work at Bud Light, less so.
01:45:48.000I mean, I'm sure the bottle plant workers who are subcontracted could complain, but Bud Light clearly doesn't care and has no interest.
01:45:54.000The people in this country can ballot harvest, ballot chase, vote, and actually get Donald Trump elected again, and then he can start making those changes.
01:46:03.000We have seen tremendous changes made through the United States.
01:46:39.000Seriously, like, how many- the Death Star was a planet base, it was like a moon, and Luke Skywalker blew it up, and there were people there!
01:46:46.000It's from clerks, they talk about the janitors and the contractors.
01:46:49.000The contractors though, the thing is, when you work on the Death Star, you know you're working on the Death Star.
01:46:53.000You're some guy that knocked your girl up out of high school, you decide to marry her, do the right thing, try to start a family, you take a job paying a little bit above minimum wage, and you're just filling bottles, and the next thing you know, some CEO who's never going to feel any pain at all from it does something dumb and suddenly you're out of- I have
01:47:12.000sympathy. I just have tremendous sympathy.
01:47:14.000The people who work on the Death Star don't think they're working on the Death Star.
01:47:17.000Oh, you know you're working on the Death Star.
01:47:19.000So you're saying that when someone gets hired by a contractor to build a building
01:47:23.000for the government, they know they're evil.
01:47:25.000There's a difference between putting on a uniform, taking a weapon, or going into a war zone and fixing a tank
01:48:06.000They probably called it, like, the USS Liberty or something.
01:48:10.000But the clerk's example was, the second part is that a contractor knows a guy is a mobster and turns down a job to fix the roofing on his house because he knows he's a mobster.
01:48:18.000Whereas he could have just been greedy and said, yes, he's going to pay me twice what I normally get.
01:48:24.000And that was the guy who overheard the conversation, interrupts, saying, you know, actually those people who take the job on the Death Star, they should accept some responsibility.
01:48:32.000But I'm sorry, I just can't see a bottle working on the Death Star and working in a bottle plant for... Manhattan Project.
01:48:39.000People did not know what they were building.
01:48:42.000That's the famous story of how it was compartmentalized, and there were theories about what it could or couldn't be, but no one really knew for sure.
01:48:49.000Once you get to the Death Star, and you look around and see the uniforms the people are wearing, you're not screaming, like, these are the bad guys.
01:48:54.000I know you're a military, that's for sure.
01:48:56.000The Empire, the people, the average citizen in the Empire still thought that they were living under the good guys.
01:49:26.000But are you not saying that the name Death Star didn't kind of give it away a little bit?
01:49:30.000I don't imagine that the average person on... I don't think the average person... I don't think the people on Coruscant called it the Death Star.
01:49:38.000Yeah, like the people working on it, it's like we're building a space station for the Empire.
01:49:43.000And they probably called it, like, the Republic still existed when they were building it, and they probably said the Republic has commissioned a orbital space station.
01:49:49.000And I'm installing a laser on it that can blow up an entire planet.
01:49:51.000No, you're not installing a laser on it.
01:51:37.000But these people still get held accountable for being a part of these regimes.
01:51:40.000That's true, but the people who mostly suffer from these regimes are the people at the very bottom, with no say, no agency at all, who get grinded up in the gears of history and are forgotten and are turned to dust.
01:51:51.000But that's immaterial to, like, we... Yes, absolutely.
01:51:55.000The idea that the... I mean, look, there are wars where the kings or leaders of countries lose and then say, well, you know... Actually, I'll give you an example from The Patriot, Mel Gibson.
01:52:08.000When Mel Gibson starts taking out the officers of the British forces, he actually has a meeting with the guy and he's like, we want the cessation of, you know, the killing of officers.
01:52:33.000Like, it has always been the case that the nobles will go to war and be like, well, you've bested me, shall we have a pint?
01:52:40.000People- but look- We're not shooting the officers in this case, though.
01:52:43.000We're shooting, like, the people who are, like, way behind the lines, maybe working supplies or something like that.
01:52:48.000It's like, imagine you're- imagine it's the Civil War, and there's a bunch of Southern Confederates conscripted into the war, and they're marching on Gettysburg, and you're like, no, no, no, don't fire on them!
01:53:01.000Yeah, but if you just shoot the generals and a couple officers, they'll go home, back to their farms.
01:53:05.000But that's not possible, because they're shielded.
01:53:06.000Not in this case, but... So the issue is, the people at these bottling plants are the ones who make Bud Light the money, and are the ones responsible for all of it.
01:53:15.000I don't blame them as individuals, but I am not going to cry that they lost their jobs.
01:53:20.000We want... When we said, I hope Bud Light goes out of business, did people, like, not realize that meant they would lose their jobs?
01:53:29.000I just wanted the executives who made the decisions to be fired and never employed again.
01:53:45.000When the company is a smoldering pile of economic figurative rubble, then they'll only be fired because there's no more money left, not because anybody fired them.
01:53:58.000The board and the CEO are going to protect each other, depending.
01:54:01.000I really doubt they're going to go after him.
01:54:03.000And it's the people who build the machine.
01:54:05.000This idea that it's like, The machine is made by the individual laborers who all come together in this big, big swarm to make Bud Light possible.
01:54:15.000So when we said that we hoped Bud Light would go out of business or be knocked down, quite literally we're saying thousands will lose their jobs.
01:54:26.000But I hear where you're coming from, I just have a point of disagreement with it.
01:54:29.000Yeah, the job economy thing is kind of like, they use it as an excuse to propel crappy- My position is- The whole thing that everyone has to have a job is like- There is no circumstance where our boycott would lead to higher ups at Bud Light losing their jobs.
01:56:14.000They didn't shut the plants down because of cost.
01:56:16.000They shut it down because nobody is buying the beer.
01:56:19.000You can't make product people won't buy.
01:56:21.000Right, but your position is like, if you're a worker at this plant, you should have been paying attention to social media and caught way ahead of the outrage.
01:58:15.000Dylan Mulvaney made a video with a bunch of beers, and it said, support this contest, or something like that, and drank the beers, and Dylan Mulvaney said that they were hired by Bud Light, and then Bud Light basically abandoned them.
01:58:26.000So if the issue is Bud Light decided to do this thing, and it caused a backlash, and Bud Light refuses to apologize, doubles down on sponsoring more of these events over and over again where nude men are dancing and thrusting in front of children, which they did, and it keeps happening, and you are working at a plant that makes Bud Light, and you're like, well, I don't care, I'm getting paid.
01:58:51.000Going to West Virginia, 86% supporting Trump, and the people there don't pay attention, don't vote, don't organize, they do nothing.
01:59:01.000To a certain extent, I don't blame people for not wanting to jump into this political conflict, but we need to recognize that individuals have responsibility to their country, to their families, to their communities, and it is being abandoned too often by the right, but the left revels in their cult-like behavior.
01:59:21.000So for Bud Light to do this, and for people to be like, well, it's been two months, Bud Light's doubling down, people are mad, sales are dropping, every week we can see... I'm gonna keep working here.
01:59:38.000If you work for a company and they're doing things that could cause you to lose your job, you should say, yeah, there's a problem here.
01:59:46.000I'm smart enough to recognize I need to kind of get it, or I have the options to, but a lot of these people, they just, so look.
01:59:53.000I have a jobs program at Look Ahead America for people who have gotten out of prison for J6, because they've got two strikes against them.
02:00:01.000They've committed a crime they've convicted, but they also have the burden of being a J6er, right?
02:00:06.000Which makes it even harder to employ them.
02:00:07.000And we promote, we try to find employers to place with them, and we try to find people that can, that have suffered from this who need help with employment.
02:00:14.000And we do that at lookaheadamerica.org.
02:00:17.000If you lost your job at this plant in North Carolina, we're going to open up this program for you to do our best to help you find a new job.
02:00:23.000And if you're an employer in North Carolina, please sign up to help us.
02:00:27.000I'm going to read one more super chat, it's a good one, and then we're going to go to the members show at TimCast.com.
02:00:31.000Phalanx says, the Empire didn't call it the Death Star, it was called Project Stardust according to Rogue One.
02:00:38.000So we're going to go to the members only show, so smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, head over to TimCast.com, become a member, that's where the members show will be.
02:00:47.000In a few minutes, you can follow the show at TimCast IRL, you can follow me personally at TimCast.
02:00:52.000Matt, do you want to shout anything out?
02:00:54.000Look, mostly—sometimes I agree with people largely, and they say something I disagree with and just let it go, but sometimes they say something that's very dangerous.
02:01:02.000And recently, Mike Lindell has done this.
02:01:05.000And he initially did it in a conversation with what I consider a good friend, a great patriot, Scott Pressler.
02:01:09.000Scott Pressler is advocating that we need an all-of-the-above strategy for voter turnout, that we need to encourage people to vote early, especially those who are not inclined already to show up and vote on Election Day.
02:01:20.000And we see this happening again and again, and it's important that these people have their voices heard, and it's affecting the outcome of elections, whereas Mike Lindell, maybe best of intentions, but he's saying that no, we can't do that, and he says, you know, these people are 100% wrong.
02:01:33.000He's quoted in the New York Times saying that we should only have same-day voting, shouldn't encourage people to do anything else.
02:01:38.000Mike, I put my head on your pillow every night to sleep, but you're wrong about this, and I am challenging you to a debate.
02:03:00.000And if you're a J6er and you're having a hard time finding employment because you got all these strikes, we do have employers that are willing to give you a shot.
02:03:06.000So, we've hooked up many people with employment and let us help you.
