On today's show, we discuss the latest on the ouster of James O'Keefe from Project Veritas and the fallout from it, as well as the assassination of a woman in New Jersey and the reinstatement of Donald Trump.
00:00:33.000The strange thing about this letter is that they say that many of the signees never actually witnessed any abuse, nor experienced any of it, but decided to sign the letter anyway.
00:00:42.000Turns out that one of the individuals involved, who may have been about to get fired, has pronouns in his bio, leading many people to believe that this is some kind of coup to remove James O'Keefe.
00:00:51.000And now Project Veritas has put out a new video With a different host explaining what's going on with their story.
00:01:06.000Plus we'll talk about what's going on with, well, we got Facebook reinstating Donald Trump.
00:01:11.000We've got a bunch of different stories, but we're gonna get into it, ladies and gentlemen.
00:01:15.000We're gonna talk about some strange censorship that's going on with a person who was recently on this show named Eliza Blue.
00:01:22.000I don't know, the chat's gonna light up.
00:01:23.000But for those of you who aren't familiar, this got to a point where, admittedly, within the past hour, I said, okay, okay, look, you guys, you know, the people who have been asking us, politely, I might add, to consider looking into this, we just saw several people, others, other individuals who have been in the show, who have had a series of YouTube videos taken down, and so, I will say, in honor of the polite requests, I think it's actually worth talking about.
00:01:46.000And I also want to say, too, that Look, what's happened with Project Veritas had me actually very worried.
00:01:53.000James O'Keefe, we haven't heard from, we know what's going on.
00:01:55.000We've had the drama with The Daily Wire and Steven Crowder.
00:01:58.000Obviously, there was drama involving me, which I just, I feel like all of this, it's getting a little out of hand.
00:02:03.000It's getting a little crazy, especially considering this other story that we have.
00:02:06.000Two Republicans in New Jersey were just killed in the past week.
00:02:12.000We're not entirely sure what the motive was.
00:02:13.000Another individual was targeted, this woman, in her vehicle.
00:02:16.000And that made me kind of take stock of everything and just say, okay, look, man, we've got to make sure that, at the very least, if we have differences, we're unified in what these problems really are, because it seems like this is really, really bad.
00:02:52.000You know, for anybody who's upset with me, I apologize for being brash and crass.
00:02:56.000I said I wasn't gonna, but I'm genuinely freaked out watching what's happening with Veritas, seeing the infighting between Crowder and Daily Wire, and then now this.
00:03:04.000Kind of makes me feel that, look, I'm not perfect and y'all can still be mad at me, but I don't want to engage in any fighting that's going to cause us to actually lose this thing in the long run.
00:03:17.000And we gotta make sure that even if we disagree on certain things, we're focused in the same direction towards making things better and fighting for the values that we have.
00:03:26.000So, you know, considering what we're seeing now with Chrissy Mayer as well, I'll be happy to admit that I was wrong about this one for sure, but I do have some grievances that I'm planning to address that I think some people should be aware about as it pertains to this story.
00:03:48.000Monday through Thursday, and we had an awesome show.
00:03:50.000You know, Matt Gaetz comes in swinging and swearing, and we had a really great uncensored show with several members of Congress in the offices of Lauren Boebert last night.
00:04:10.000A lot of expansion is currently happening, so it's all very much exciting.
00:04:13.000And I think, you know, I just want to make sure we can focus on that positive energy.
00:04:17.000And, admittedly, look man, this Veritas stuff is really creepy because some people are suggesting that he's being ousted by some malicious external forces.
00:04:37.000I have my own show called The Naturalist Capitalist and basically talk about how the government ruins everything it touches.
00:04:44.000Everybody's trying to fix small problems and they create bigger problems.
00:04:49.000Once a month I do The Four Horsemen Show, wearing the shirt here with my friend Ryan Dawson and Eric Jackman, and we talk about conspiracy theories, foreign policy, Current events, and then the rest of the time I'm just talking about work-related stuff, how the government's destroyed the working industry, made it harder for working people.
00:05:06.000I have foreign policy experts on, and lots of people you guys have had on, friends with Scott Horton and Dave Smith, and those guys have a lot of those people on.
00:05:15.000And then I do social media for the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire, and we're constantly making headlines over there and stirring things up.
00:05:55.000The character of Terence Heeky, he was an American hero.
00:05:58.000He had a very incredulous death and ruled to suicide immediately.
00:06:03.000And I think he's an American hero that needs to be remembered and I think there are people out there that need to be held to account for his death.
00:08:04.000One, this letter is signed by, I believe, what is it, 16 employees, accusing James O'Keefe of being a power-drunk tyrant, and he is exactly who he pontificates on who should be exposing.
00:08:17.000Now, this letter includes very important bits of information and context which leads me to believe I think there are people trying to oust James O'Keefe not because of any of these perceived grievances.
00:08:29.000I think they're trying to just remove him as an element of Project Veritas because, I mean, he's the guy.
00:08:38.000If you're an organization with 65 employees and you generate millions plus in donor revenue, I imagine the board members are thinking like, hey, the one problem we have in terms of control of this money is James O'Keefe.
00:08:51.000He's an ideological figurehead who believes in a mission and founded this.
00:08:55.000This happens with big companies all the time.
00:08:58.000Remember when Willem Dafoe is playing Harry Osborn and he's like, do you have any ideas?
00:09:03.000how much time sacrificed and they're getting rid of them.
00:09:06.000You get rid of James O'Keefe from this company, from this organization and you are free to use
00:09:10.000that money however you see fit. The problem is I don't think anyone's going to support him. Now as we
00:09:15.000mentioned they're saying that they were bullied, that he's a tyrant. Let me let me read for you the
00:09:20.000top note because they certainly had to include this. It says the opinions, data shared and
00:09:26.000anecdotes were compiled by one-third of the to the Project Veritas staff, representing every department,
00:09:31.000Not all signed this letter, but all had compelling reason to contribute.
00:09:36.000Some signatories have not been the subject of abuse, nor witnessed any abuse, but found the corroborated behavior troubling and were willing to sign.
00:10:02.000Next thing you know, the board comes together.
00:10:04.000There's a viral Twitter thread where one guy is saying, uh, reporting according to his sources, one of the board members who orchestrated this had a whole thing scripted in ousting James O'Keefe.
00:10:15.000I've not heard from him, but, uh, admittedly, look, man, you know, when I saw this and a few other stories today, I was like, dude, I got questions, man.
00:10:25.000Okay, so first of all, if you sign your name to a paper that's making a statement, that's an indication that you are making the statement.
00:10:31.000And if you didn't see the things that you're signing on to, that's fraud, or at least could be construed as fraud.
00:10:36.000So don't sign something that you don't believe in.
00:10:38.000I think that's what the disclaimer's for, though, isn't it?
00:10:41.000To make sure that they, to say, look, I didn't see this, but there was a disclaimer saying that I didn't see this, but I think that James is a bad person.
00:10:49.000It needs to be more fleshed out than just an introduction with some of these people.
00:10:54.000You need to see who didn't see it, who is just following along and signing for the fun, because they feel like, okay, and who actually witnessed the things.
00:11:02.000That needs to be very implicit, it should be.
00:11:05.000Ian, what it is, is sign this if you don't like him, okay?
00:11:07.000That's really what, isn't that the vibe that you pick up?
00:11:10.000It's essentially, it's like people that have some kind of incentive to not work for James O'Keefe, whether it be people that want control of Project Veritas, like on the board or whatever, if he's inhibiting activities they want, you know, because he is ideological, which is the point of Project Veritas, like the whole point of it is he's ideological and they're looking to, you know, uncover bias and stuff.
00:11:35.000So I think that it seems like it's all emotionally motivated with people that have some kind of benefit from James not running Project Veritas.
00:11:47.000To play devil's advocate on the side of the people that are creating this letter, because I love James and his work, is that maybe in the last year stress has been getting to James.
00:11:55.000I feel like I can empathize with what he's been going through the last year.
00:11:59.000I saw him tweet out, like, I'm not suicidal, by the way.
00:12:01.000Like, you don't tweet that out if you're not stressed out.
00:12:15.000Democracy Partners Trial in Public, I was yelled at in front of jurors because he was hungry, and then he took the eight-month pregnant woman sandwich.
00:12:23.000Like, am I supposed to believe that James O'Keefe, like, walked up to an eight-month pregnant woman and was like, I'm hungry and snatched it from her.
00:12:29.000That sounds like something someone made up to make him sound bad.
00:12:32.000Right, because if I take something from you, it could be because I went over and grabbed it out of your hand, or it could be because you offered it to me and then I took it.
00:12:40.000Sorry, I really don't think that the person that's accusing James, I don't think they're saying that the child gave him the sandwich.
00:13:13.000Like he just said in a tweet, like a couple of sentences, Elon's been doing some similar things.
00:13:17.000I'm sure he's under immense amount of stress right now.
00:13:19.000I've talked about how people claimed I went to their house in Boston and walked in their house at two in the morning and turned the TV on, and people tweet that kind of stuff and they believe it.
00:13:27.000I look at this and I'm like, James walked up to a pregnant woman and stole her sandwich?
00:13:39.000It may be that they're greatly exaggerating these things.
00:13:42.000Look, man, I kind of feel like I'll put it this way, I worked for non-profits.
00:13:48.000Imagine you have an organization founded by somebody else, they're ideologically driven, we have a mission, this is what we're gonna do, and this is why we do it, and you're like, I want five million dollars in cash!
00:13:59.000This organization's got 50 million bucks, but James won't let me pay myself!
00:14:05.000These are the kind of things that happen at big companies after a long period of time, they wanna get rid of the person in charge who's motivated by a mission.
00:14:14.000There's a saying that a buddy of mine was an entrepreneur said, some people are good at starting companies and some people are good at running companies.
00:14:22.000Some people are founders, some people are CEOs.
00:14:24.000Somebody founds a company and then they hand it off to the CEO.
00:14:27.000The CEOs are very different from the founders.
00:14:29.000So my view of this, it's just my personal opinion and my bias.
00:14:33.000I mean this sandwich thing really is there and then there's also something else I want to show you.
00:14:58.000I hope James can realize we're doing this out of love for the mission.
00:15:01.000Yeah, that's all created in their own head.
00:15:05.000When they start saying that they're doing things out of love that are bad for a person, that's rationalizing doing something they know is immoral and bad.
00:15:54.000And so the fear was, if somebody starts getting upset and feeling aggravated or aggrieved, they'll go to a person in another room and go, you know, what's going on, man?
00:16:04.000And they'll be like, nothing, what are you doing?
00:16:37.000I'm wondering if a component of this is somebody who wants James O'Keefe ousted from the organization, wants control of the assets and resources, is going around telling people like, yeah, like, that time he yelled at you, remember?
00:16:49.000And they're like, oh, yeah, and they took that woman's sandwich.
00:16:54.000And then a week later, they're like, remember when you told me, you told me that he yelled at you and took that woman's sandwich?
00:16:59.000Yeah, we wrote that down, signed the paper, and they go, oh, okay.
00:17:02.000The thing is, once you make accusations against people too, regardless of what the truth is and regardless of how easy it is to disprove it, they'll run with that narrative.
00:17:10.000So in New Hampshire, for example, there was this senator race going on.
00:17:14.000There was Don Baldick against Maggie Hassan and Joah from Breaking the Flaw,
00:17:19.000who's a co-host on Free Talk Live with me.
00:17:22.000He was at this protest and he was definitely, you know, being annoying and getting in people's faces, but he never
00:17:28.000touched anybody, never laid a hand on anyone.
00:17:31.000And Don Baldick basically just lied and said that he attacked him and hit him.
00:17:36.000And, um, you know, there was video footage of everything that was going on and
00:17:41.000we released it from the Libertarian Party in New Hampshire showing that they
00:17:44.000never touch each other at all or anything, but it just ran with it.
00:17:47.000And then the Democrats were picking it up too, even though they could use this as an attack against Baldick,
00:17:51.000they knew that it, It would have been very easy to say, like, look, this guy isn't telling the truth, but just because a narrative was put out there, it's impossible to disprove it, even if you have all the video footage and everything.
00:18:01.000Well, that's because there's a motivated block of people that are motivated to believe it, or at least to spread it, even if they don't actually believe it.
00:18:13.000Which is like, it's a tough justification to not utilize false accusations against your enemy.
00:18:19.000Because it's like, they're your enemy and you need to win, if it's the combat state of mind conflict, anything to get the job done in those situations.
00:18:26.000But when like the culture, when you're having communication, it's like, I mean, I know that desire, like, I want this so bad that I'm willing to accept falsehoods to get it.
00:18:36.000I think that the move, if you're smart, you sit back, you evaluate the battlefield, you wait, You find something accurate, something that will literally
00:18:42.000pierce the enemy's heart, if you will, and that's what you go for.
00:18:44.000Like, I mean, obviously, maybe you can make disinformation overwork you sometimes, but I think in the long run it's a
00:19:38.000You know, I mean, that's my long, it might be, it's a, it's a kind of a, how much your time preference, how long are you willing to look out in the future?
00:19:43.000So here we are now, we're like, the Congress is like, it's like lowest level ever.
00:19:47.000But everyone hates Congress for different reasons.
00:19:49.000You ask, you ask most people and they are happy with their own Congress people.
00:19:53.000The people they don't like are the Congress people that get in the way of the policies that their Congress person is looking to, you know, looking to push forward.
00:20:01.000After last night we did a show at Congress in Lauren Boebert's office, I gained a new love for those people and that building and the Congress itself, it felt very inviting.
00:20:11.000A lot of people really want to do good and they have different tactics.
00:20:27.000Then I guess there's a lot of probably older Congress people that aren't fired up, and those people are just paying the bill to get by.
00:20:34.000I'm not as interested in that mentality, but the young people that want to provoke change and stop crazy change, I'm all on board with that.
00:21:20.000So people started telling me, hey, you know, they removed James O'Keefe, stripped him of his authority, put him on paid leave, have explained almost nothing. We had to get leaked this
00:21:31.000this letter explaining what people were claiming, which sounds outlandish, and we've not
00:22:06.000And then people like, thought I was being serious.
00:22:09.000I was just pointing out like, why is all of this stuff happening right now?
00:22:12.000And then, of course, you know, Later in the day, I put out an apology to Jeremy because I don't think any of us have any differences in the level of what our real cultural and ideological battles are in the culture war and with politics.
00:22:29.000There's no real reason for me to be personally mad at Jeremy or anything like that.
00:22:34.000Bickering like this, and I'll say that for me, I have no reason to even bring it up.
00:22:39.000Sure, if he was trying to put microchips in you and track your movement, then I'd say speak up.
00:22:43.000Or, you know, sterilize kids and things like that.
00:22:46.000That's why I'm like, watching the Veritas stuff, watching the Crowder stuff, and all of this happening in the past couple of weeks, and then these other stories about these Republicans getting shot, I'm kind of like, hey, yo, let's not I don't know, man.
00:22:58.000Look, y'all can tell me I'm wrong about everything.
00:23:24.000So I'm sure there's like multiple levels of drama, but as far as the right having this civil war, I'm actually extremely glad it's happening.
00:23:32.000I think Jose might agree with me, because it seems to be separating the wheat from the chaff in a lot of ways, like this whole DeSantis versus Trump stuff that's going on, and just seeing everyone turn on each other, seeing Matt Gaetz actually stand up against I think Matt Gaetz is fantastic.
00:23:47.000being elected speaker, stuff like that.
00:23:49.000Like it's uncomfortable, but it's actually kind of like forcing the right to evolve,
00:23:54.000It is, but you know, the reason I, I think Matt Gaetz is fantastic.
00:23:59.000I said this on the show the other day, and he brought it up, that he's my favorite
00:24:02.000member of Congress, and I'm like, well look man, he defended Ilhan Omar, someone he shouldn't,
00:24:07.000on a principled ground that made sense, And then he voted to have her removed on a logical ground that made sense, and I'm like, I get what he's doing.
00:24:16.000So, you know, he said he gives Speaker McCarthy an A rating now.
00:25:12.000Yeah, I know it splits things up, and to me, I see crises and stuff like this as almost inevitable.
00:25:18.000I think you're almost better to make the best of it, and what this was, was you're able to identify things.
00:25:23.000From here, you're able to see who your in-group was, who your out-group was, who's willing to act in good faith, who's not.
00:25:27.000I mean, that's not to say there are perfect actors on either side, but you can tell, I mean, throughout all this drama, there's been so many crazy claims, and it allows you to be like, yeah, I probably won't work with that person, probably not going to interact with them, etc., etc.
00:25:38.000You don't have to cause a problem over it, but it allows you to be able to see the battlefield, what's going on, etc, etc.
00:25:42.000Yeah, this is the challenge that I basically see with all of this stuff is, you know, this should not be happening at Veritas at all.
00:25:49.000If they've got problems with James O'Keefe, they should not have handled this way.
00:25:54.000Made me take stock of what I was doing, and I'm like, I shouldn't be so reckless and brash and arrogant at the same- because, like, I see that, and then it reflects on me.
00:26:04.000This is a bad way to handle it, especially if we're trying to be strategic and tactful so that we can focus on issues like, I don't know, people smuggling eggs over the Mexican border because the prices are so insane.
00:26:15.000Like, things we actually have to accomplish because we're concerned that they're letting non-citizens vote in Washington, D.C.
00:26:19.000or New York, or outright, as many people are pointing out, censorship due to people filing false privacy claims or legal challenges exploiting the system to gain some kind of political power, and I can respect that.
00:26:31.000So at that point, I'm just like, Yeah, I'm genuinely freaked out.
00:26:37.000Not to mention, you know what really does it is like we can have drama and whatever and I'm kind of like, whatever.
00:26:43.000And then I see these two Republicans in Jersey get killed.
00:26:45.000And I'm kind of like, okay, guys, let's let's get serious.
00:26:47.000We're, you know, we're, we're, let's like, let's Let's get serious.
00:26:50.000We're lucky to be able to experience drama in a conversational way.
00:26:54.000We're very privileged in this society to be able to hash it out with words before it would ever come to anything other than that.
00:27:08.000The audience sizes here and a different audience here and there's some overlap and some people get mad this way and some people get mad that way.
00:27:14.000And I'm just like, but why are we mad at each other?
00:27:16.000I shouldn't be doing that because the people over there are doing really messed up stuff.
00:27:24.000They're putting ankle weights on a president who gave us the best economic numbers in a generation and then resulted in us getting a Joe Biden who gives us some of the worst.
00:27:33.000And I'm kind of like, yeah, I think we've got to make sure we're focused on that stuff.
00:27:37.000Oh, I was thinking... Go for it, Reid.
00:27:39.000You triggered him with the Trump economics.
00:27:41.000Oh, yeah, well, I mean, I do have to address that.
00:27:43.000I mean, we were definitely... When Trump ran for president in 2016, he even said, we're living in a bubble, it's gonna pop, this isn't actually a good economy.
00:27:50.000Until he was president, then suddenly it was the greatest economy in the world, until it crashed when he's gone.
00:27:55.000You know, I don't think that has much to do with Trump or Biden or Obama.
00:27:59.000It's more about the Federal Reserve policies we had over that time.
00:28:01.000But that aside, I think it's important... I think the Fox The wolf in sheep's clothing is more dangerous than the fox in the hen house.
00:28:12.000An obvious enemy is less of a threat because it's easy to point out, it's easy to say this person is dangerous and they're against what we stand for.
00:28:21.000When you have somebody, I would say like Trump, who virtue signals on a lot of important issues, but then nine times out of ten when it comes down to it, he goes along with whatever the establishment wants.
00:28:34.000I mean, under Biden, you've had legitimate right-wing opposition to what he's been doing.
00:28:40.000If Trump were still president right now, I don't think you'd have nearly the amount of solidified opposition to what's going on in the White House.
00:28:50.000But when you look at wages and inflation, right when Joe Biden gets inaugurated, Then right after he enacts a plethora of executive orders, you start to see a dramatic shift in wages starting to go down and inflation starting to go up.
00:29:27.000But to act like printing trillions and trillions of dollars out of midair when we had a Republican president and locking the economy down, which wasn't his fault.
00:29:42.000But to act like that wouldn't have, you know, effects regardless of whether or not he gets elected.
00:29:46.000Like, even if Donald Trump got reelected and was still president, you would have 95% of this inflation.
00:29:53.000The inflation is increasing the money supply.
00:29:56.000I mean, I agree to the extent that the spending was bad, but also you take a look at the, for one, like obviously the energy policy of Joe Biden, but you take a look at a whole bunch of other things.
00:30:07.000I mean, they're enacting policy based on ideological ends.
00:30:11.000Joe Biden literally said he was going to end fossil fuels.
00:30:14.000Before the pandemic, the economy was the best numbers of our lives.
00:30:18.000Obviously not during the pandemic, So if you get a knee-jerk reaction that results in mass spending and panic, but you have a tendency among Democrats for harsh and total lockdown, you get a Joe Biden who starts speaking about the lockdowns only to blue states and not red states, and then, you know, previous to this, you had some red states saying no and opening back up.
00:30:38.000You get a Joe Biden that comes into office and acts a bunch of policies.
00:30:43.000You get the Inflation Reduction Act, quote unquote, and then you watch in real time as inflation continually gets worse, stagnates at extremely high levels, or continues to get worse.
00:30:51.000Yeah, I think if Donald Trump was president, we'd probably have better economic policy.
00:30:54.000I think things would probably be recovering.
00:30:56.000Well, you got a DeSantis because you had Biden.
00:31:00.000I don't think you would have had a DeSantis under Trump.
00:31:02.000DeSantis, and I've got lots of issues with DeSantis, but when he was opposing the COVID regime in Florida, where Jose is living, I think a lot of that was because there was political will to have a dissenter to the, you know, the official narrative that Joe Biden was putting out.
00:31:18.000With Donald Trump, I think that would have been a lot less likely.
00:31:21.000I think if you have a central authority figure that people can hate and they can actually oppose, not just like in a virtue signaling way and not just in an emotional way, but actually come out against it, that's how you get an actual... I think a good example of what Reid's getting at is just a quick little thing.
00:31:37.000The majority of gun control gets pushed through under Republican presidents, and the reason why is because of exactly what he's saying.
00:31:42.000When you have someone like a Biden in office, you actually get a legitimate Republican pushback.
00:31:46.000I just want to clarify that if I had to compare Joe Biden with Donald Trump, I do prefer Donald Trump's policies to Joe Biden.
00:31:51.000I'm just talking from a reactionary perspective.
00:31:53.000because no one wants to rock the boat. I just want to clarify that if I had to
00:31:58.000compare Joe Biden with Donald Trump I do prefer Donald Trump's policies to Joe
00:32:02.000Biden. I'm just talking from a reactionary perspective. You're coming at it from a
00:32:08.000So the underlying statement that you're making is Donald Trump is not a libertarian, which I don't think anyone... He's not even a Republican.
00:32:15.000Well, I mean, he's a progressive Republican probably along the lines of... He's a 90s Democrat.
00:32:20.000Yeah, and that's fair and that's fine.
00:32:24.000If you're arguing that Donald Trump is not libertarian enough for you, that's a legitimate argument, because Donald Trump wasn't trying to be libertarian.
00:32:33.000It's fair to say that Donald Trump isn't libertarian enough for libertarian people, and I mean, most of your criticisms I agree, because I prefer a smaller government, but holding Donald Trump to the libertarian standard and saying, well, he's not a libertarian, when everybody that's a Donald Trump supporter is gonna go, Duh, we don't care.
00:32:57.000My argument is actually to achieve libertarian policies is easier on a state level under Joe Biden than it would be under Donald Trump because it's easier to rally opposition to Joe Biden.
00:33:07.000Stuff that's happened in Florida, stuff that's happened in New Hampshire, it's very easy because it's easy to rile up your right-wing neighbor and say, do you want Joe Biden to be able to have federal jurisdiction over what happens in New Hampshire?
00:33:43.000Who was shot to death in a vehicle outside her home.
00:33:46.000And when asked if this was political, the DA said that they didn't, you know, they said something along to the effect of, you know, please don't make, you know, we don't want to answer that right now or something like that.
00:34:07.000And in the previous segment, we were talking about, Reid, you were mentioning that it's easier to drum up opposition to, right, like legitimate opposition to Joe Biden to get in Republican or Libertarian policies because you have, you know, that president.
00:34:23.000And it would be a lot more difficult under Trump.
00:34:25.000But I guess looking at this, I kind of feel like even with a President Joe Biden, the media is still screaming the right is the deep threat.
00:34:31.000You still have, I mean, is it a coincidence that two Republican elected officials were just shot and killed in New Jersey in one week?
00:34:41.000I'm kind of leaning towards two Republican officials being shot and killed in the span of a week.
00:34:46.000I at least lean towards the hypothesis we should look into whether this is political, considering the rhetoric from the media and everything like that.
00:34:52.000So if we've got a Democrat in office, shouldn't things be calming down, at least as far as the leftist rhetoric is?
00:34:59.000It's more hyped up and amped up than ever.
00:35:01.000Yeah, well, I think the revolutionaries that we have to worry about.
00:35:04.000I think the hyped-up rhetoric is what causes a lot of the right-wing opposition to the Democrats in charge.
00:35:11.000So, for example, people who didn't pay attention to politics at all four years ago, after the last two years when there's suddenly a science denying conspiracy theorists or whatever, and they're an enemy of intelligence agencies or whatever.
00:35:26.000Suddenly they start to care about the FBI having as much power as it does.
00:35:30.000They start caring about how much control the government has over what you can put into your body, all these different things.
00:35:36.000So, yes, there is a lot more political turmoil, but I think that that has actually woken up a lot of people who wouldn't have said things that sound like what I say nowadays four years ago.
00:35:48.000They never would have dreamed of it, but now it's just their regular rhetoric because they've become so used.
00:36:14.000I would rather people invest in their own state government instead of worrying about what the federal government's doing.
00:36:20.000I'm with you on the wolf in sheep's clothing being more dangerous than the fox in the henhouse, except that the obvious fool here, Joe, I'm calling you out because you surrendered to the Taliban.
00:36:32.000The absolute mishandling of our military and the loss of life accrued by Joe Biden because of that surrender?
00:36:37.000He surrendered to the Taliban and he surrendered to China.
00:36:39.000The fact that he allowed the balloon to just cross the country without doing anything and
00:36:43.000now it's coming out that they were monitoring and there was radio frequencies that they
00:37:43.000The problem with Afghanistan was he got the combat troops out.
00:37:47.000What you do is you point guns at all the bad guys and get your people out, and leave the guys with the guns pointed at the bad guys on the ground, and the guys with the guns, they leave last.
00:37:57.000Everybody got everybody out, and that was the problem.
00:38:00.000People were being killed on cars outside the Air Force Base by Taliban.
00:38:12.000But the one thing you do is you tell the local security partners, the Afghan forces, hey, go set up security over the next two weeks to lock down the Air Force Base to secure these areas.
00:38:23.000They needed to make sure that they had logistics for their aircraft, for the helicopters, for the jets or whatever they were using.
00:38:29.000One of the problems we heard was that there were people, Afghan security forces, literally flying at the time when Biden abandoned the country and all of a sudden all their logistics get cut off and they have no idea what's going on.
00:38:38.000The Taliban, without communication, there was no defense force.
00:38:42.000And so we learned, in the middle of the night, they abandoned the Air Force Base, say nothing, and locals went in and started looting the place.
00:38:52.000That's why I call it a surrender, because literally you surrender equipment or items or people.
00:38:57.000Well, what Reid and Jose are talking about is strategy, which is the way that, you know, Biden came in and wanted to have the exit on September 11th for a look.
00:39:06.000But the major problem with the withdrawal from Afghanistan was tactical.
00:39:10.000It was the way that they actually did it.
00:39:12.000They didn't set security to get the non-combatants out, to get the people that were helping the
00:39:19.000Americans, whether they be Afghans or whether they be other countries or whatever, the U.S.
00:39:24.000nationals, all the civilians, all the, you know, whether you like CIA or not, get all
00:39:30.000the CIA assets out, get all the assets out, and then you take big army out.
00:39:34.000Then you take the guys with the guns out.
00:39:35.000And the guys with the guns all point guns at everybody and say, no, you're not doing
00:39:48.000I mean, there's no disagreement that the civilians come out first, but when you make a deal with the Taliban, which is the most official government in Afghanistan, we will be gone in May, which is what Donald Trump told them in 2020, and then Joe Biden comes in and drags his feet, doesn't get the people out of there, and like you said, take the military out last, be out by May.
00:42:00.000Yeah, I was saying this the other night with the members of Congress.
00:42:03.000If we were able to get another Trump term without the weights on his legs with Russiagate and the other lies and the manipulations and nonsense, I think things would go swimmingly.
00:42:14.000It would be amazing what we would see.
00:42:17.000I genuinely believe Trump wanted us out of these foreign wars.
00:42:20.000I genuinely believe he wanted us to have no involvement as world police.
00:42:23.000I genuinely believe he wants to secure our borders, bring factories back, and start improving these things.
00:42:27.000You know, I think, like you guys were saying, he's a 90s Democrat or whatever.
00:42:39.000And so even with all of that, I've heard from so many people back in 2019 about how it was the best year of their lives in terms of making money and seeing their companies grow and getting better jobs.
00:42:48.000Now we have Joe Biden and everything's just bad.
00:42:53.000I talk about this local racetrack, the horse track.
00:42:55.000They want to reopen the restaurant so you can hang out, have a burger, and watch the horses run.
00:42:59.000That sounds like an awesome time, but they can't find any workers.
00:43:01.000We tried getting people to come out here and do work on our HVAC, and they just ghost us.
00:43:07.000It's crazy how messed up it is right now.
00:43:10.000I wonder if you guys listening at home are experiencing similar things where people just don't want to work.
00:43:17.000And I think what we were hearing the other day from Byron Donalds is that with the stimulus package and the money that was being given out, pushed largely by Democrats, you get demand high but supply low because nobody is working to produce anything.
00:43:35.000And this isn't to excuse any of Biden's policies.
00:43:38.000Biden's policies have 100% made things way worse.
00:43:41.000But we were already living in a bubble when, you know, after the 2008 crash, you know, things started building up and then we were living on low interest rates.
00:43:51.000Things were artificially, you know, more popping than they should have been.
00:43:54.000There was going to be something that pricked the bubble eventually.
00:43:58.000If I were Donald Trump, I personally wouldn't have wanted to get reelected in the end of 2020.
00:44:02.000I would have read the writing on the all been like, things are gonna suck next year and the year
00:44:06.000after regardless of who the president is.
00:46:20.000was spread out militarily, kind of like the British Empire with India, for instance.
00:46:23.000And then India had a revolution, and Britain lost all that revenue coming out of India.
00:46:27.000So would it be a Chinese economic revolution, where Chinese companies are in Afghanistan, but one day those people will be like, actually, we live here.
00:46:34.000I just mean they're inflating their money at a higher rate than we are.
00:46:42.000So they're going like this, whereas we're going like this.
00:46:45.000So they're more likely going to boom or bust at some point.
00:46:50.000The money is not sound with what they're doing.
00:46:56.000That's why they have whole ghost cities and stuff where no one lives.
00:46:59.000Yeah, I mean, it's not just their money.
00:47:00.000It's also their architecture and everything.
00:47:02.000Like, if you look at the ghost cities like he's talking about, they have the homeless problem, but they also have these giant cities that nobody lives in.
00:47:10.000It's almost like communism is a bad form of economics.
00:48:24.000It's preferable to like an international war, but I think if you go to like The former Soviet states that are no longer Soviet states, the 90s were real rough.
00:48:33.000There are still people in Russia that long for the days of the Soviet Union because they remember the 90s.
00:48:40.000And the 90s were really, really, really hard in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet states.
00:48:45.000And they don't look at freedom the way that we do because freedom for them was full of corruption and a lot of bad people that had Influence in the state before just started taking things and saying, well, me and my boys with the guns now own this refinery or whatever.
00:49:58.000It's kind of like Tim was bringing up earlier, if he hadn't had his weights, and don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's a perfect guy, I'm not saying he's like Ron Paul or something.
00:50:06.000Well not perfect, but he's the closest idea of a politician I can think of.
00:50:09.000But if he wasn't weighed down, if the government didn't government, it'd be super awesome, yes.
00:50:13.000The incentives point a certain way and like it was if you like for example I think if like a Ron Paul got in office I think it would probably be a similar thing either he'd take a ride down in Dallas or he would end up you know some way being tied down this way or that to where he wasn't really able to get the things he done he wanted done the same way Trump was because there are certain incentives in place when you start rocking the boat it doesn't work out well usually.
00:50:33.000Yeah, you gotta have the American population rock the boat for you, and then you just make sure that you don't veto their changes when they rock it to where it needs to be rocked to.
00:50:42.000But if you go up there and try to become the president and make all the changes yourself, you're just an easy target.
00:50:46.000I mean, I honestly don't have any faith at all in politics in general, but especially at a federal level.
00:50:51.000I think once you get down more local, you get more to where you can actually have results, even down to the individual.
00:50:56.000I think as an individual, you can make your life better more than you can fix the federal government.
00:51:56.000He's trying to emulate Trump's perfect health.
00:52:02.000So Tim you were saying even as an owner of a company you can have contact with yourself.
00:52:06.000So, I mean, I don't think he owns Truth Social 100%.
00:52:09.000I think they're a SPAC, so they have shareholders and stuff like that.
00:52:12.000And then, in order to do this deal, if people are going to buy shares of this company, they need to know that Trump's not going to abandon it.
00:52:19.000So, the company says, to increase his own valuation, he made a deal that he
00:52:23.000But it's not just him, there's other people involved in the company who say,
00:52:59.000And the funny thing is everyone got really mad at him about that, but that's literally the policy of every social media platform.
00:53:05.000If you use the platform just to link out to a different platform, you can get suspended or get your post removed.
00:53:11.000YouTube especially, they'll ban you outright.
00:53:14.000Because people would do this thing where they'd make a live stream saying, go watch the show on Twitch instead.
00:53:18.000And then YouTube's like, nah, you can't do that, delete.
00:53:20.000So Elon says, we'll do the same thing.
00:53:22.000If you're only linking out to somebody else, we're gonna, you know, you can't do that.
00:53:25.000Everybody got mad and Twitter's a different platform, you know?
00:53:29.000So, Truth Social is owned by Trump Media and Technology Group, which is owned by Donald Trump, as far as I can tell, and Devin Nunez is the CEO of the parent company.
00:53:38.000But that parent company, Trump Media and Technology Group, merged with a company called Digital World Acquisition Corps in 2021, October.
00:53:46.000I don't know who owns Digital World... DWAC.
00:54:55.000I mean, I see the propaganda where they claim that Joe Biden would beat him by eight points, but I just roll my eyes at that.
00:55:00.000I'm not sure it matters if it's Trump or ham sandwich so long as ballot harvesting and universal mail-in voting is the machine by which we're determining our elections.
00:55:07.000In 2016, he was a wrench in the spokes of the transition of the liberal world order to the new world order.
00:55:13.000Like, he got us out of Trans-Pacific Partnership day one.
00:55:16.000And they, without him even knowing what he was doing probably, he was smashing up the plan and they wanted him out.
00:55:21.000But now I think the plan is out in the open and it's like kind of amorphous.
00:55:24.000We're obviously not going techno-communist.
00:55:27.000No one, I don't know anyone that's down to put microchips and be spied on all day by a corporation and be told when and what you can say.
00:55:45.000This was definitely your thing, so I'll pass it off to you.
00:55:48.000I mean, I'm not a Republican, but most people I hang out with, I feel like that's the base that he had, the kind of people I interact with on a daily, day-to-day thing.
00:56:07.000It's like a really young, famous, energetic vice president that could breathe a lot of life into the campaign.
00:56:12.000I mean, he needs to get back into the public space.
00:56:14.000He's been putting out these videos where he talks about his policy plans, and he's very much been addressing culture war issues, but he needs to just get on Twitter.
00:57:58.000I mean, I don't think you guys are going to be all about government regulation in that regard.
00:58:02.000Yeah, what's crazy is, you know, you guys had Jeremy Kaufman on last year, I think, who's a friend of mine in New Hampshire.
00:58:07.000He created Odyssey, which was like a free speech alternative to YouTube, and the feds have been going after him like crazy.
00:58:13.000There's been all sorts of court cases.
00:58:16.000Right now, Ben Swan, who I have networked with a little bit, he's trying to create a new platform called Sovereign.
00:58:23.000And all these different platforms are just learning from the mistakes of the previous ones where the federal government can basically screw them over and trying to figure out how to work their way around it.
00:58:31.000But I think that is the alternative, is like making alternatives.
00:58:34.000On that, on the point we were talking about with Trump earlier, like his feet being weighed down.
00:58:39.000If you're trying to create different ways for this to work, we saw with Twitter, and it's pretty clear with Facebook and probably other social media as well, they're infiltrated with Feds.
00:58:48.000They get corporate welfare, this, that.
00:58:50.000But the little guys like Odyssey, all these other upstarts, they have the exact opposite problems.
00:58:54.000The incentives are driving things one way or the other.
00:58:55.000So it's like, I don't really necessarily think throwing the government in the mix is going to help.
00:58:58.000If anything, I think reducing it would be the best, personally.
00:59:02.000It is usually people do get a brand name, that's what they stick with, but definitely don't let them get infiltrated with feds like Twitter did.
00:59:09.000I don't know that you can prevent social media companies from becoming infiltrated with, you know, with federal... There's a way, Phil.
00:59:20.000The reason I say is because it's too much of a honeypot.
00:59:23.000I mean, the capabilities that your average phone has Like to monitor the average person.
00:59:31.000The idea that the federal government isn't going to attempt to get their fingers into software that makes that possible.
00:59:40.000I don't know that you get a world without governments trying to do that.
00:59:45.000And I don't know how you stop them either.
00:59:47.000If your code's on GitHub or GitLab or something where people can watch and see if it's tracking you, at least you know if the software itself is tracking you.
00:59:54.000The networks are, I don't know, you'll never be able to keep people out of the networks.
00:59:57.000You'll have feds undercover in the networks, but you don't want companies running social media.
01:00:03.000The companies can get hijacked, so you want decentralized software packets If they drop the patents, that's another thing, where the government gets involved in the patent system.
01:00:12.000I'm not a tech guy, I'm kind of a tech idiot, but if they dial back some of that, some of the regulation they have there, it makes it so much easier for a starting point for people for alternative social medias and stuff.
01:01:52.000I stick with Apple stuff because I know that Apple controls it and Apple controls it tightly.
01:01:57.000And I know that this is probably an unpopular opinion for a lot of people, but I have to say you're on a one.
01:02:02.000Yeah, it's because when they can, I don't, but I don't want people, I don't want people getting into Apple and saying, well, you have to do this and making Apple stuff work.
01:02:10.000Taking away the synergy that Apple's products have.
01:02:14.000I like the way Apple products work, and I don't want some government person getting involved and saying Apple's too big, has too much control, so we want to stick our nose in and say that you have to do this and have to do that.
01:02:23.000There's two aspects of when you're building software is compatibility, ease of use, and then security is one of them.
01:02:31.000We don't know what their security systems are doing, if they're tracking you, if they're selling your DNA.
01:02:36.000They told the FBI to pound sand when they were trying to get that dude they were accused of terrorists, they wanted to unlock his phone, and Apple's like, yo, we're not doing it, because you'd have to make a back end into the thing.
01:02:45.000So, granted, you can't predict the future, but I was happy with that result, that they told the FBI to go F off, you know, so.
01:02:58.000We had, you know, we got one Apple machine here out of all the machines, because we had someone who was like, well I know how to use Apple, and it's just been a disaster.
01:03:04.000I was like the integration is the opposite of what you're describing.
01:03:06.000Yes, for Apple with using other IBM stuff, but if you don't know like you can't even like hard drives for instance.
01:03:12.000It's like we want to transfer data for between hard drives.
01:03:14.000You could take a hard drive between any any PC, but not between Apple.
01:03:18.000Yeah, but like Apple is one company versus the 8 million other companies.
01:03:22.000That's part of why I don't want to mess with Apple because there's all these other options.
01:03:26.000Yeah, but then the hard drive would work between other computers.
01:03:29.000So instead, it's like we plug the hard drive in, and it's like there's no data on it.
01:03:32.000And we're like, well, it can work in literally any of the various PCs from different brands, different companies, different laptops.
01:03:45.000I think Europe passed a law saying they have to use a standard, so it's going to be USB-C.
01:03:49.000I was deep on free software last night thinking about it.
01:03:52.000So I started to think about the arms manufacturers.
01:03:54.000I'm like, okay, liberal economic orders, basically Lockheed Martin, Boeing, there's five of them, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and General Dynamics.
01:04:02.000But then there's the British one, BAE Systems.
01:04:04.000So the six of them together comprise about $140 billion of arms dealers.
01:04:08.000Five of the six largest arms dealers on earth are in America.
01:04:11.000They are supplying us directly with our own weapons.
01:04:13.000And I was like, would I force them to free their software code?
01:04:48.000No, I think that nowadays the chips and most of your microchips and stuff are not made in the U.S.
01:04:55.000and there's a strong likelihood that they're all compromised anyways.
01:04:58.000Whereas they're made in China or Taiwan or whatever.
01:05:00.000We're gonna dive headfirst into the shallow end with this next story about Eliza Blue, Chrissy Mayer, and all the stuff that's been going on over the past week.
01:05:10.000And we'll just be as candid as possible.
01:05:25.000And so there's been some controversy related to a guest we had recently, Eliza Blue, and some censorship actions that she's been accused of, notably filing privacy requests against people who talk about her past work.
01:05:38.000And so here we have the story from Chrissy Mayer.
01:05:40.000She says Eliza Blue got four of my YouTube videos removed for showing a fair and balanced doc trailer which featured three to five seconds of her public at the time now removed WorldStarHipHop video.
01:05:51.000Must be nice to have the power to rewrite history then gaslight Twitter and YouTube into accepting it.
01:05:58.000You know I said previously I'm uninterested in this and I'll kind of you know I think this is this got to the point where literally right before the show I saw this tweet and I'm like Okay, okay guys, you got me, alright?
01:06:09.000Like, I'm starting to see and learn more that's having me question what's going on if YouTube videos are getting pulled.
01:06:16.000And we're hearing that a bunch of people actually had YouTube videos getting pulled.
01:06:19.000And so this clearly is an abuse of the system to a degree that we've not seen for a while now.
01:06:23.000It used to be, in the early days of YouTube, there were attempts by political rivals to falsely flag and get people's content removed.
01:06:30.000And now it seems like we're seeing an uptick in this, particularly pertaining to Eliza Blue.
01:06:35.000The first thing I'll say is, as it pertains to the issues related to me personally, you know, look, man, I say it a million times, I'm an arrogant shithead, and so don't come at me and yell and scream at my face and think I'm gonna bend the knee and do anything for you.
01:06:48.000And I will tell everybody right off the bat, We had this person on the show that I don't care too much about.
01:06:57.000But all of a sudden, we found ourselves inundated with, and I'm not saying, you guys gotta be very careful because when I said that there was a PR firm running like 50 accounts, everyone started claiming I called literally the millions of people who are watching these videos bots.
01:07:11.000But we started, we got some very gruesome, gruesome's maybe not the right word, but Let's just say, you know, people crossed the line with what they were sending to us and the images they were posting of people.
01:07:23.000Easiest way to get me to be like, I will not give you what you want.
01:07:26.000But here's what I have to say about this.
01:07:28.000There are a lot of people who are genuinely concerned about what we're seeing in terms of what Eliza Blue's done and her past work.
01:07:33.000And there's a big difference between those people and the very few people I am directly criticizing.
01:07:39.000The people who are posting just really awful photos and videos, sending awful things to us.
01:07:44.000And I want to make sure that people understand because there's still this, you know, here's what I said earlier.
01:07:49.000Following the Project Veritas stuff, following, you know, obviously the Crowder Daily Wire stuff, following these Republicans getting shot, I'm reading this, I have a source contact me, they say, we want you to read this letter, check this out.
01:08:03.000And I'm reading this, and I'm like, yo, if all of this bad stuff is happening right now to various organizations, and everyone's fighting with each other, Yeah, that's it.
01:08:23.000We agree on way too much for me to be bickering or complaining about something that is one issue where ultimately we probably agree mostly on it, but there's a personal issue that's making me upset or something like that.
01:08:37.000When I'm looking at, we have another story we'll talk about in a minute, a woman saying that she used to work in gender affirmation for children and now she's realizing how bad it is.
01:08:45.000I'm like, there's a lot more things that we all agree on that we need to be focused on.
01:08:49.000My biggest concern with all of this is, obviously censorship is bad, but if I'm gonna get distracted and personally aggrieved or whatever, and that means infighting will erupt, that takes us off mission.
01:09:18.000Jeremy put out a video saying he apologizes.
01:09:20.000I have tremendous respect for that, and I sincerely apologize.
01:09:24.000There are still people trying to drum up this infighting, and that is exactly what I'm talking about.
01:09:28.000When all this starts, and I'm this guy who's sitting here like, look man, I don't know anything about her.
01:09:33.000We booked her on the show because she's on Twitter and she's a prominent activist.
01:09:36.000I didn't know that people had beef with her and I don't know what that beef is.
01:09:39.000We get people sending us, let me just say like, videos that Photos and videos that I just think would make a dad, you know, like if a dad found out people were doing it about his daughter, he'd end up in jail.
01:09:54.000So you want to come at me and my friends with these really horrifying things and I'm going to be like outright not getting anywhere near this.
01:09:59.000But I genuinely and legitimately understand that's not most people.
01:10:03.000So I hope all of you understand that there are people still right now trying to get us to keep fighting.
01:10:24.000I will keep being an arrogant shithead and I will say that.
01:10:27.000But I also recognize we shouldn't be fighting if we can avoid it and we can focus on things that are more important.
01:10:32.000So the only thing I can say, just one last thought, is please keep an eye out for those who are still in the chat right now desperately trying to get me to get angry and to fight with you guys when I'm saying, no wait man, like we need to come together on this.
01:10:43.000I think the big thing here is people, like they say in soccer, if you're a defender, keep your eye on the ball.
01:10:48.000And I think so many people got their eye off the ball on this story And I'm like you pointed out with the censorship with the I mean, I don't know if you point out the legal action She threatened supposedly online.
01:10:56.000I think those are things that are worthy derision and worthy looking into and see what is going on here Why is this happening?
01:11:01.000Maybe there's more to the story But this thing got taken so out of control and to such a level to things that had nothing to do with it her past which took me wrong like Sure that like maybe like discredited her or something but that I don't personally myself I couldn't care if she made up all of that that's not pertinent information to me.
01:11:16.000What is pertinent to me is did she threaten legal action against people and is she getting accounts taken down?
01:11:21.000I don't know I'm open to it seems that way it seems to imply I read Shane's latest article it seems there's something building there maybe some sort of argument I don't know I'm still open to and the people criticizing Tim Cass for not jumping in already they literally had a guy there and like It was clearly not a fleshed-out story, so why would you comment on something before it's a fleshed-out story?
01:11:39.000But here's what I think, too, and I can't speak for Shane, right?
01:11:43.000I will tell you guys with 100% sincere honesty.
01:11:46.000I told Shane I didn't think the story was worth it.
01:11:49.000I don't know anything about it, and I said to him, if you do this, you need to sit down with Jeremy Hambly, and we need to do, like, two different profiles of, like, what is the big picture here.
01:12:02.000Because the things that were sent to Shane, I guarantee you, like, and again, I can't speak for him, Saki said this to me, but I do know that people posted very inappropriate things about his family.
01:12:14.000You do that, you guarantee- That's bait.
01:13:12.000Please check it out after the show, and I'll remind you again.
01:13:16.000And I posted a link to Brittany's video.
01:13:18.000In that video, she showed clips from this World Star music video in question.
01:13:23.000This is all revolving around this one video, I think, that had been previously taken down,
01:13:27.000but Brittany still had clips from this now-removed video on her channel.
01:13:31.000Then that video was removed over the course of the last six hours.
01:13:34.000Eliza, I'm concerned that shame is a very powerful, dangerous feeling, and if you are pushed into becoming a useful tool for cancel culture to hyperinflate cancel culture because of your... I know it's generic, afraid of your past, but just It's don't become the villain that you're looking to squash out.
01:13:55.000That's the best advice I think I can give you right now.
01:13:59.000But if these bans are unjust, they need to be rectified.
01:14:02.000If something, Brittany said in her video, she was showing screenshots of Twitter's ban thing, and they said that it was privately created or distributed sensitive content.
01:14:12.000Twitter role. It was publicly distributed sensitive content.
01:14:16.000It was not private and it was taken down for being a privately sensitive piece of
01:14:20.000content. How sensitive is it really? It was the music video. She made the video.
01:14:24.000She was proud of it. She was, you know, ostensibly she was spreading it around back in
01:14:30.000the day. So I think that's up for debate, but I think it for the sake of argument we say it is
01:14:35.000sensitive content, but it was public sensitive So Twitter, reinstate Britney.
01:14:42.000Simply put, and just to go back to our position on this, I think I got tricked.
01:14:47.000I think we all got tricked here into taking out our anger on people like Jeremy and Britney.
01:14:54.000I think, so I was like, I don't want to get into too much detail about what was happening to us, but like, You know, these are my friends and people I care about, and I don't want to call them threats or anything, but the stuff we were getting sent was, let's just put, like, put it triggering.
01:15:07.000If someone sent you the stuff that we got sent, you'd probably react the same way.
01:15:12.000And then when, you know, I was looking at, I made this joke tweet earlier, I was like, Daily Wire, Project Veritas, me and the quartering, it's all, you thought it was a coincidence, wait till phase two or whatever, like, as a joke.
01:15:24.000And then I stopped and kind of thought about it when I was reading the Veritas letter and I'm like, people were saying, is it a coincidence that right after the Pfizer thing comes out, you know, we have the Grammys brought to you by Pfizer, we do this big thing complaining about it, all of a sudden we're getting slammed with these people claiming to represent a group of people but they're sending us some of the most abhorrent and awful things you could imagine, pissing us off and making us fight, and then I'm just like, Yo, nah, I'm not doing it.
01:15:49.000You got me for a few days, but I'm not gonna do it now.
01:15:51.000And two, some of the nicest people I've ever met.
01:15:53.000The two people in question, I've interacted with them, met one of them personally, and, like, even with the limited time I've met them, they genuinely are some of the nicest people I've ever met.
01:16:25.000It's like, even before we did anything, we were getting sent awful stuff and getting attacked.
01:16:32.000And then so I was like, okay, well, we're going to cover this.
01:16:35.000And then it ramped up and got crazier.
01:16:37.000And then, of course, I'm like, I got an internal conversation with Shane, and I'm saying, like, I don't know if we can handle whatever this is, or what they're doing, and he's like, oh, we gotta tell the story, man.
01:16:48.000I recommended, well, so, I mean, Shane's clearly pissed, I don't know, I think we had talked to him.
01:16:53.000The plan now is, maybe as soon as possible, is to have Chrissy Mayer on with Shane, and then just hash all this stuff out, because I think we're being played.
01:17:01.000I'd love to have Brittany Venti and Eliza on at some point in the future, after we work through these cycles.
01:17:19.000But when it comes to banning and people losing their livelihoods, like if someone's banned from Twitter, that's their that's could be their life, their income.
01:17:25.000And it's our this show, Tim, me, we have a responsibility to talk about cancel culture.
01:17:41.000I think that it's pretty clear that I don't imagine that people thought that the Tim Kast brand was pro-censorship because of this stuff.
01:17:52.000But I mean, there's a lot of people in the chat that are, like you said, that are still looking to stir it up, that are, you know, looking for issues.
01:18:01.000Like, that was the thing about it, is I'm seeing people post videos being like, you know, I'm canceling my membership at TimCast.com and stuff like that.
01:18:09.000And we gained over a thousand members in the past week, which is three times like what we normally do.
01:18:14.000I think everybody involved in this has become more famous as a result of this whole thing.
01:18:19.000Steven Crowder's way more popular than he was two months ago.
01:18:22.000Daily Wire, a lot more people heard of Daily Wire.
01:18:24.000When I saw that meme of you with Jack Murphy's beard on your face, I was like, people that you've never heard of now that don't even earn in politics are hearing about you now.
01:18:32.000Yeah, but it's not a good thing when we're arguing with each other about this instead of talking about this next story, which you need to see.
01:18:38.000It can be a good thing if we make it right.
01:19:03.000It's a woman who worked for 4 years at a clinic as a case manager, responsible for patient intake and oversight.
01:19:09.000I left the clinic in November last year because I could no longer participate in what was happening there.
01:19:13.000By the time I departed, I was certain that the way the American medical system is treating these patients is the opposite of the promise to do no harm.
01:19:21.000Instead, we are permanently harming the vulnerable patients in our care.
01:19:25.000I'm segwaying here, but I want to mention, this is the kind of story that makes me be like, guys, you know what?
01:19:48.000Because this is the kind of stuff that makes me feel like... Look, look.
01:19:53.000I've been talking on this channel for a long time about just getting a van down by the river and just letting it all go away.
01:20:00.000And the problem with that is every time I imagine how much more fun, in a sense, my life would be, if I just said, I'm done working 16-hour days, I'm done running a company, I'm gonna go hang out by the river and just catch some fish and just breathe the fresh air, and then I think about five years after that, People will be locked up in camps, kids will be getting castrated, money will be worthless, and I'm like, yeah, if we stop doing what we're doing, or if we turn on each other, this is the kind of stuff that doesn't get exposed.
01:20:30.000I believe this woman who's coming out now and saying, hey, what they're doing to kids is wrong, is likely doing it, not completely because of the work that we do, or people like the quartering or whatever, but partially, as a grain of sand making that heap, the more we promote individuals calling this out, the more people will wake up to what the cult is, And if we do nothing, and if we fight with each other, and I'll take responsibility on that, if I keep doing that, if I keep getting pissed off and telling people to go screw themselves, I'm gonna wake up one day in a world where this is the norm, 100%.
01:21:02.000working, doing ATR stuff, and I know a lot of the very left-leaning people and spending time in Los Angeles and Hollywood and stuff, those are the kind of people that you run into.
01:21:17.000Even people that you would consider left-leaning, they have kids and they hear about this kind of stuff and they're just like, yo, no, this is where I draw the line.
01:21:26.000And they don't want to talk about it in public, they don't want to admit it because it's a dangerous thing to condemn this kind of stuff because there's all kinds of associations that people on the left make if you condemn these kind of gender reassignment surgeries.
01:21:47.000Parents don't want, it doesn't matter if they're left or right, parents are strongly of the opinion that this stuff is bad.
01:21:54.000And without people like this show, like the people that we have on here, pushing back on this stuff, people don't come out and say, hey, this stuff is bad.
01:22:04.000They don't have the intestinal fortitude or whatever to stand up and say, hey, no, I really have this problem with these procedures and stuff.
01:22:15.000Matt Walsh went down to Loudoun County and he spoke about critical race theory and gender ideology in these schools.
01:22:21.000It is this kind of work where, look man, I don't agree with Matt Walsh on a lot of things, alright?
01:22:26.000He's a bold guy, to put it mildly, but I think You know, in a future where there is factions of Matt Walsh's, the disagreements we have is sitting at a table and him being like, look, Tim, I just don't agree with you on how we're going to be implementing a policy like that.
01:22:43.000And then me saying things like, well, look, I don't know, but, you know, I'll see you at the ballot box.
01:22:47.000Whereas today, it's people bringing kids in for castration.
01:22:53.000I wonder about you guys, you know, Jose and Reed, like, I think of you guys as the pinnacle of libertarianism.
01:22:59.000And I wonder how do you deal with this kind of stuff?
01:23:04.000I don't know if you'd call libertarian hands off, but when you live like you live your life, I'll live mine.
01:23:09.000How do you what do you do when a parent across the road wants to cut their kids genitals off and turn them into another gender?
01:23:16.000Yeah, so I'm all about cultural repulsion, basically.
01:23:20.000I think that's the strongest way to go.
01:23:23.000Like, in New Hampshire, we're really trying to create a culture of obnoxious liberty, as Phil can attest to.
01:23:30.000Not just the Twitter account, but just in general.
01:23:31.000The only reason— The anarchist, abominable snowman up in New Hampshire.
01:23:34.000The only reason this has taken off is because the cultural sensibility is allowing it to go on and handle these people with kid gloves.
01:23:40.000If we push back and said, oh, yeah, it's ridiculous that you want to mess with the endocrine system of a young child at a point where their endocrine system's already in flux and mutilate their genitals, and at a point where they're not really in any sort of stage to give any sort of meaningful consent in their life, I don't think it's that crazy to be like, hey, yeah, you're nuts.
01:24:07.000There are people constantly saying that they're so glad that they left New Hampshire because it's a bunch of libertarian idiots or whatever, and we're all like, good!
01:24:56.000Well, so just because something is legal doesn't mean that you have to endorse it.
01:25:00.000And that's one of the things that people that have it, you know, you call them state or we call them status or whatever, but like that's what a status tends to think.
01:25:07.000If you say, I don't think this should be illegal, they automatically in their brain jumped to the conclusion that you endorse the behavior.
01:25:14.000And so I don't think that it should be illegal for people to get gender reassignment surgery.
01:25:23.000But there's nothing wrong with stigmatizing people that want to have children or young adults get gender reassignment surgery and condemning the idea of teenagers or children getting gender reassignment surgery.
01:25:35.000That's something that society should do.
01:25:39.000To any kind of, like the idea of cosmetic surgery is a gradient, it's not yes or no, it's not black or white.
01:25:46.000So we could ask a few questions to explore the morality of transgender surgeries and plastic surgery in general.
01:25:53.000Is it okay for an 18 year old human being to have their hand surgically removed?
01:25:58.000Eighteen, I say... I mean, because of the fact that you have to have an arbitrary line, I guess eighteen, but I mean, you're not fully developed.
01:26:46.000He told a bunch of Republicans in, what was that, 2012 in South Carolina, like, if heroin was legal today, how many of you would go shoot up right now?
01:26:54.000And the whole crowd was like, yeah, none of us would.
01:26:56.000I mean, no one's going to, like, cut off their hand, you know?
01:26:59.000Yeah, it's called a general body dysmorphic disorder, something to that effect, where people, they feel like they're... I talked about this with the Twitter 1.0 executives.
01:27:09.000When they were talking about how they've got to protect trans people because they're having an identity crisis that results in depression and potentially suicide, I said, the same is true for general body dysmorphia.
01:27:20.000Anorexic, for instance, people are starving themselves to death, or people who overeat and become morbidly obese and have heart attacks, but also people who want to have their limbs removed, and they do.
01:27:28.000There are many stories of, there's one guy who had like a tree fall on his arm so that he could justify amputation because he wanted it removed from his body.
01:27:39.000Yeah, he had it fall on his arm so that he could justify removing it or something to that effect.
01:27:42.000Or I think he smashed it with a hammer and then claimed something like that happened and he needed to get it removed.
01:27:47.000There are people who are experiencing this and there are questions about what is the best way to provide assistance to them.
01:27:53.000If there is no, you know, and this is where I suppose I'm more liberal and less libertarian, If the law exists, you could shun a guy all day and night, but if he's getting paid the money for it, you don't care what you think.
01:28:09.000I've been a blue-collar worker for the last ten years of my life, and every time some anomaly takes place, OSHA thinks they have to regulate it away from ever happening again.
01:28:19.000Instead of accepting people are stupid, and they're gonna make mistakes, and dumb stuff is going to happen, and having a very I don't think it's a red herring because those are things that actually happen.
01:28:49.000And the answer right now is for the most part, yes.
01:28:52.000That's not how you actually help a person who's suffering from some body dysmorphia.
01:28:57.000So what happens is, hey man, if the money's good, but if someone is, I'll put it this way because this doesn't include death.
01:29:06.000What we often talk about is the Golden Gate Bridge, and every person who's jumped off it and survived has explained that they immediately regretted it, and the one thing going through their mind was, all of life's problems could be solved except for having jumped off the bridge.
01:29:20.000And so if they jump off and they end up regretting it, and they live, we learn that.
01:29:24.000If someone says, I need my hand removed, and then they regret it, What do we do?
01:29:30.000And you had that one doctor who said, that woman, who said of children who get mastectomies, if they want breasts when they're older, they can just get implants.
01:29:45.000I know it sounds silly, but we deal with clients, we sell them, and this is where stigma comes in.
01:29:50.000Yes, you could have the concept of, hey, the money's good, that's it.
01:29:54.000But we even have turned down business many times because we're like, I don't like this client, I don't like the idea that this person is going to have my pet, and they're going to be a representation of my brand.
01:30:02.000And vice versa, like, we also have to upkeep a certain standard, have a clean cat room, a nice presenting house, because we want to have a good-looking brand, because we don't want to be looked at as, like, crap.
01:30:12.000So, like, the idea that, uh, and I'm not trying to, like, crap on you or anything, but I'm just saying, like, the idea that it's just like, oh, as long as the money's good, there's a whole lot more that goes into that.
01:30:20.000And yes, on an individual level, there still will be, like in our, there's definitely people that go and sell hairless cats for like 500 bucks, which is like criminally low for them, and it's just gross.
01:30:30.000But, in the long run, that is not a good way to upkeep what you're doing, because it's just, it doesn't work.
01:30:35.000Like, but there will be individual situations, this is what system works best.
01:30:39.000Obviously, in a system where it's culturally homogenous, you're right, we don't need government.
01:30:44.000But that's not what we have, and that's not what's happening around the world.
01:30:47.000And I think it's an idealistic answer to be like, well, you know, someone shouldn't cut off a person's hand, but they'll be shunned for it.
01:30:54.000They'll go set up a practice in the middle of nowhere and They'll do it.
01:30:57.000Yeah, I think shunning works on local levels, when you know people, like you have a small business, you know, technically, but when you have like large multinational corporations that are for profit, you know, medicating people for life, we cut your hand off, but then you get to take our drugs, our blood thinners for the rest of your life.
01:31:17.000Because the thing is too, like this kind of plays in economics as well.
01:31:20.000If you have a place that has a bad economic place and you're able to be like segmented off in this other area, over time they're going to end up being a worse area to be.
01:31:27.000And people are going to more likely want to come to your area that's a better system.
01:31:30.000That's more, you know, and yeah, I mean sure.
01:31:32.000Maybe there are people over here that like awful things and they somehow are successful doing awful things.
01:31:36.000But at the end of the day, that's not your concern because you're in your local area and, you know, doing what you do and drawing people that like what you do to continue that.
01:31:59.000Whoever these companies are that are administering the drugs, not only the surgeries, but the drugs to people for profit, are making massive amounts of money.
01:32:07.000If we don't make it illegal, why would they?
01:32:10.000Shame doesn't stop multinational corporations from making trillions or billions.
01:32:16.000This is a symptom of a larger problem.
01:32:20.000So focusing on what do we do about the idea that transgender teenagers are getting bottom surgery or whatever.
01:32:32.000What you really need to do is find out if they're actually transgender or not.
01:32:37.000Most of the time they end up being gay.
01:33:19.000I think that the focus on LGBTQ identities as novel and something to be held up in high regard and esteem as better than normal or whatever, that's a problem with it too.
01:33:35.000You get a kid that's maybe gay or maybe bi, Or a girl that's a tomboy, and then people start whispering in their ear, oh, you're transgender, and if they...
01:33:48.000If they change their sex or whatever, if they transition, that's the word I was looking for.
01:33:52.000If they transition, they get a bunch of attention and stuff.
01:33:54.000There are all these incentives for people to do this, and the incentives are the things that we need to get rid of so you can find the people that actually are intersex, that actually have, that are actually trans, you know what I mean?
01:34:17.000Yeah, but see, the issue is in very small, culturally homogenous systems, they work together.
01:34:23.000Running out of food isn't as big of a deal.
01:34:25.000Insurance originated as, if my house burns down, help me rebuild it, because if yours burns down, I'll help you rebuild it.
01:34:30.000Then we codified it with money, and we all pay into the system.
01:34:34.000That ultimately leads to, as the population grows and grows and grows, a segmented, fractured society where we don't talk to our own neighbors.
01:34:41.000And thus, we have fractured A fractured culture, so now the police are enforcing the laws because we don't completely agree.
01:34:49.000And some people say, I don't know you, I don't care about you, and I need something, so I'll take it from you.
01:35:04.000If everyone was on the same page and said, we should all have guns, then there would be no illegal guns, there would be no gun laws, there would be no police enforcing gun laws, and everybody would have guns.
01:35:12.000If every single person agreed there should be no guns, including the criminals, then nobody would have guns, there'd be no people getting arrested for guns.
01:35:18.000But right now, people disagree, and some people don't care.
01:35:22.000So I don't know if we can ever get to that ideological position, idealistic position of we were culturally homogenous anymore.
01:35:31.000Not literally, but I'm sponsored by Pfizer.
01:35:34.000You see, I see the Grammys was sponsored by Pfizer.
01:35:36.000Like, that's very concerning if you're talking about putting information and ideas into kids' brains about who's making the money off these surgeries, off these child gender surgeries.
01:35:44.000It's like pharmaceutical companies and hospitals and stuff are making money off this for profit.
01:35:50.000So unless we make it illegal, I mean, are there points in libertarianism or just in general where you guys are like, We're going to go to Super Chats.
01:36:06.000If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com if you want to support our work and our cultural endeavors.
01:36:40.000Because I started to think about this with the Veritas thing.
01:36:42.000If Jeremy and I agree on 99.999% of things, and then I'm just personally aggrieved because, you know, whatever, like, I got triggered, Then I'm kind of like, why am I fighting with the guy I agree with?
01:36:58.000If I want to eventually get to the point where I can go live in a van down by the river, I'm going to need other people who will be carrying on that fight to make sure things don't fall apart.
01:37:08.000You know, look, I can be aggressive and arrogant and tell people to go screw off.
01:37:13.000This apology is more about me accepting the bigger picture and how, in the end, if I think I'm going to get anything I want or achieve anything, I can't do it by myself.
01:37:24.000And fighting with other people who agree with me is the worst possible thing for me, quite literally a stupid position to hold.
01:37:29.000So I accept it, and I'll do what I can.
01:37:32.000Y'all who want to be mad at me, keep being mad at me, by all means.
01:37:35.000There are still people in the chat who are trying to sow conflict or whatever, but I'll put it this way.
01:37:40.000You can think I'm wrong, you can think I'm lying, you can think all those things, but it is 100% factually true that if we agree with each other on core issues, then we have to fight in the same direction.
01:37:50.000We can hate each other afterwards, after we stop kids getting mutilated or whatever.
01:38:04.000Rocket Sauce says, I don't always watch Tim cast IRL by the pool while smoking venison at my apartment complex, but when I do, the neighbors do too.
01:38:31.000I don't, you know, like, I get so much flack.
01:38:34.000And then I started thinking about the possibility that I'm being manipulated or I'm being played.
01:38:40.000That the people who are trying to get me mad at Jeremy are doing just that because they're trying to get us to attack each other.
01:38:46.000And then I'm like, I'm not mad at Jeremy, this is stupid.
01:38:50.000I deeply care about, like, watching AOC go on stage in Congress and lie about stuff.
01:38:55.000I deeply care about policy that's causing our economy to get worse, and I deeply care about, am I going to have a future opportunity, or is this country going to fall into a garbage dump?
01:39:05.000So I'm not going to, why am I wasting my time arguing with people who agree with me?
01:40:09.000You can also subscribe to the channel on YouTube if you want to see clips from older shows as they come out later.
01:40:13.000But if you want to get the newest episode, you're going to want to go to TimCast.com.
01:40:17.000Justin Bell says, Tim, just wanted to say thank you for starting this process of healing the divide.
01:40:21.000We all mess up, and after last week, that was good.
01:40:23.000I will disagree and say I actually think I was being aggressive in the beginning to begin with, and I don't, like, like, the stuff that we were getting sent that made me really angry, uh, wasn't coming from Jeremy, so for me to then take it out on him, that was my fault in the first place.
01:40:39.000So, I don't think I should get credit for a healing, healing a divide.
01:40:42.000I can, I can get, I don't know, you can say, good job on chilling the F out, I suppose.
01:40:48.000Look, I, I, I sincerely mean it, I don't want to fight with people who I agree with.
01:41:03.000You know, I gotta be honest, like, when we heard that James O'Keefe got ousted, I was like, can we get him on the phone here?
01:41:09.000We don't have the legal wherewithal to handle a project-level operation.
01:41:14.000When we get people coming to us about stuff, I always just direct them to Veritas.
01:41:17.000I just say, guys, like, they're the ones with the legal apparatus to deal with the stuff, not us.
01:41:21.000However, that being said, if James is looking to start a new organization... If you build it, they will come.
01:41:27.000A non-profit that can, I'm willing to bet that all the donors will follow James O'Keefe, the ideological leader and founder of the organization.
01:41:37.000But you know, I will say, James, and he's even explicit, it's not about him.
01:41:41.000And if Project Veritas continues on without James, and then James starts a new organization, and now there's two places that whistleblowers can go to, all the better.
01:41:49.000Seth Weathers says, I hope James ate the sandwich.
01:42:50.000But yeah, man, look, I've had people on this show who I who I genuinely think are bad people.
01:42:56.000And it's like, Of all the people I should be mad at, I don't know, I just felt in the end, I'm kind of like, we've had, it's definitely not him.
01:43:06.000It's like, we've had people on the show who are legitimate grifters who pretend like they, or literally don't know what's going on in the world.
01:43:12.000And without calling anybody out, it's typically like, you know, left-leaning people.
01:43:15.000Man, I wanted to get in there and start calling names out.
01:43:19.000Well, look, there are some good left-wing people we've had on the show who are genuinely ignorant, and then there's some sophists who have been on the show and, like, intentionally mislead.
01:43:29.000And I'm like, that's the kind of stuff I'm mad about, you know what I mean?
01:43:32.000Yeah, I like the people that come on ignorantly and learn, because that's what I did.
01:43:36.000Yeah, I mean, respect to the Krasinskys for listening to me just go off for 20 minutes about Ukraine and Gazprom and the Qatar-Turkey pipeline and Nord Stream and all that stuff.
01:43:44.000Oh, and you guys see that Seymour Hersh, I think, article?
01:44:32.000Whether it be unlikely or not, whether you think it's unlikely or not, I don't think that that really matters because It's like, I carry a gun.
01:44:41.000It's unlikely that I'm going to ever have to use my gun, but I carry the gun because of what happens if I need a gun.
01:44:49.000The result of a nuclear exchange is so catastrophic, you have to treat it as if it's always a possibility because The result is the end of, you know, possibly the end of modern civilization.
01:45:10.000I mean, I was thinking about it and I was like, you know, nuclear annihilation and the end of humanity is worth it for a small Sorry to go on about this, but it's so frustrating to hear people say, oh, well, you know, Russia's going to go and make a move on other NATO countries and stuff.
01:45:28.000And it's like, the reason that we have NATO and the reason that Ukraine is not in NATO is because of Ukraine's history with Russia.
01:45:38.000If we were to go ahead and say, well, everyone that Russia gets into some kind of conflict with, we just go ahead and fold them into NATO and then attack Russia, you might as well not have NATO and just initiate a first strike against Russia.
01:45:52.000Not endorsing that, but I'm saying like... I am.
01:45:54.000Might as well not have NATO part, at least.
01:46:11.000So, it's about Cartman has Cupid Ye, which is floating around wearing his hoodie, and it's telling a token that black people are the real Jews or whatever.
01:46:23.000I want to get Matt and Trey out of here.
01:46:27.000There's a scene where Cartman is in bed, and Cupid Ye mentions they, and then he says, who is they?
01:46:33.000And so, uh, you know, we, we, we indirectly got our, got our mockery from some.
01:46:40.000And then the credits, I noticed something it said, like, written, written by Matt Stone, directed by Matt Stone, special assistant to Matt Stone, Trey Parker.
01:48:52.000El Jefe says, Part of Fighting Together, Tim, is denouncing your plan to host a drag show.
01:48:57.000You can't promote sexual lewdness while claiming to fight sexual lewdness.
01:49:00.000No, there is a point in that drag show.
01:49:02.000So I said, I'm going to put on the biggest, the, the, uh, Jen Kugler of the Young Turks was like, if I could afford it, I'd put on a big drag show.
01:50:52.000So I get reached out, Bobert's team reaches out and said, you know, they're going to be doing this big hearing, so we'd love to do a show with you, but getting out to you guys is very difficult.
01:51:47.000every day like it's five days a week it is like you might from a TV it might look like they don't do a lot but my lord are they invested in what they're doing there yeah shout out to the Bobert staff by the way as well I appreciate all the help Calvin Torgensen says shout out to Ian on his Brittany Venti video you strike me as a very genuine and curious person thank you so much thank you sir What was your video?
01:52:07.000I made a video about two o'clock today about the whole thing.
01:52:11.000There was a video of me and Eliza from back in the day where we were hugging and cuddling and hanging out with Adam and Nishra back in their house, drinking whiskey.
01:52:35.000John L says, have to send Phil love for his music, but Death Punch deserves credit for lining the dream on COVID, and welcome to the circus, the world today.
01:54:40.000I think you gotta find a place that you think you can invest in.
01:54:43.000I'm all in on the Free State Project at this point.
01:54:46.000I'm all about, like, if Dave wants to run for president and try to, you know, send a message and attract people to these ideas, I think it's great, but hoping that we're gonna have any sort of, like, political revolution to save this mess, I think it's just, there's no way.
01:54:59.000I think it's... This, uh, Duke here gave us another super chat, a huge one, $200.
01:56:39.000And we also, I'm planning on having Shane Cashman on with Chrissy Mayer.
01:56:43.000So I think we can just, as a means to be like, we're gonna hash all this out.
01:56:48.000Because we pride ourselves on being the people who sit down and talk about things that are controversial.
01:56:54.000And we complain when people refuse to show up to debate these issues, so we will have that conversation, and I'm hoping we can do it next week.
01:57:02.000The reality is this would be special privileges, in a sense, in that we're booked up for like three or four weeks out or longer, but I'm pretty sure we can find a way to have Chrissy and Shane come in.
01:57:15.000and then do... I think tomorrow would be the best day. I don't know if it's possible.
01:57:19.000Tomorrow, considering, one, we had this conversation today and kind of hashed things
01:57:22.000out as it was. I apologized. Jeremy apologized. I don't know if Jeremy needs to apologize as
01:57:28.000much as I probably do, because I was being a dick and being very arrogant on Twitter. I can accept
01:57:31.000that. But Fridays are good days to just kind of chill and just talk about everything. But I feel
01:57:37.000bad for the guests we already have booked.
01:57:38.000I don't want to ram them into this conversation, but we'll figure it out.
01:57:42.000Maybe some point next week we'll get this going.
02:00:02.000The thing is, my opinion on the Byrd app is the same as Michael Malice.
02:00:07.000It is, like, block loosely for whatever, because my experience on the Byrd app is my experience, it's not your experience, and I have no desire to listen to people that are just going to flame me.
02:00:22.000Come and say something polite, I'll respond.
02:00:24.000I probably respond more than most people.
02:00:28.000But if you come and you're snarky and I don't know you or you think that you know me and stuff, I might just go ahead and block you.
02:00:34.000You know, something I realized through all this is that your social media status with someone is not indicative of your friendship with them.
02:00:40.000I have friends that I am not friends with on social media because we just annoy each other in text.
02:00:48.000Me and Jason Richardson doesn't follow me on Twitter because I drive him nuts, but we just spent all last week hanging out, being buddy-buddy.
02:00:56.000You know, big hugs when I see him, big hugs when I leave, because we get along famously when we're hanging out together.
02:01:02.000We just disagree on some political stuff, and so he doesn't follow me, and I'm not mad at him for it, you know?
02:02:47.000But now that we've gone through all that, we're talking with other members, and we think we'll be able to set up the show and do another one relatively soon, which would just be really, really great.
02:03:00.000So the idea is, the next time there's a big hearing, and we want follow-up and conversation on that stuff, especially the weaponization of government hearings, That's the most important thing, in my opinion, going right now.
02:03:11.000Imagine we set up right after they do those hearings.
02:03:13.000We sit down with Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Boebert, et cetera, and the crew, Ana Paulina Luna, and are able to talk about these... Byron Donalds?
02:03:24.000A lot of people in the chat were super chatting.
02:03:25.000They want to see people from both sides of the political aisle coming together and talking about these crazy things.
02:03:30.000I mean, if they can get a Democrat who wants to come on, and they agree to have a conversation about the weaponization of government, and we agree to keep that in the...
02:03:39.000I would be, look, my concern is if we had someone like Ilhan Omar or AOC, we'd get into the tribal issues, we'd get into cultural issues that we disagree on.
02:03:48.000But if there is common ground where we can solve a real problem and we agree, okay, we'll put aside these other things and we'll specifically talk about the thing we agree on and agree not to attack each other, I think at least that conversation is better than nothing.
02:04:02.000Maybe there's an opportunity there, like talking about war, foreign policy and stuff, and then we'll agree not to go after cultural character and things like that.
02:04:12.000My friends, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com if you want to watch the members-only uncensored show where we'll tell you how we really feel.
02:05:49.000And if you think libertarians are kind of lame and gay, sometimes that's right.
02:05:55.000So go follow the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire because we're way more based and bold than the rest of the libertarians out there at LPNH.
