The New York Times finally admits that the Joe Biden laptop story is real, and it has serious implications for the current president Joe Biden. Congressman Randy Weber joins us to talk about gun control. Chris Cuomo wants $125 million in backstabbing CNN. The U.S. is stealing more from strategic oil reserves. Russia is funneling money to anti-fossil fuel extremists, and we could be looking at World War III.
00:00:25.000So it just goes to show what his real intentions are.
00:00:28.000He's going to hurt the network for the sake of hurting them, because he wants money, but this would be interesting to talk about, because we also have another story, the New York Times now finally admitting, once and for all, The Hunter Biden laptop story was real.
00:00:38.000And that has serious implications for Joe Biden, the current president, while we are seeing this war in between Ukraine and Russia, how we may be involved in it.
00:00:47.000And now based on New York Times's admission, plus we already knew the laptop was real.
00:00:51.000We have questions about Joe Biden's conflicts of interest with this country.
00:03:34.000I have a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes, if you guys want to check that out.
00:03:38.000I just released a cartoon today, sort of lampooning the fact that we are constantly using World War II nostalgia to try to rope America into foreign conflict.
00:03:48.000So if you guys want, please go check that out.
00:03:50.000Even if you don't want to, check it out anyway.
00:03:53.000Leave a comment telling me how much you hate it.
00:05:22.000He's now accusing other employees at CNN of wrongdoing, but he knew they were doing this while he was there, and he said nothing.
00:05:29.000I'm sure these other people who work there know they're all doing things that are bad, and considering what we see consistently with the media lies, I just thought it would be good to start off today with just very, very, you know, deep breath, deep breath in.
00:06:00.000Chris Cuomo is seeking $125 million from CNN for allegedly wrongfully terminating him, and he is throwing his former colleagues under the bus in his attempt to get it.
00:06:10.000In his arbitration demand filed on Wednesday, Cuomo alleged that Jake Tapper, Don Lemon, former CNN president Jeff Zucker, and former executive Allison Gallist engaged in blatant breaches of journalistic ethics.
00:06:21.000Quote, As long as Zucker and Gallist believed CNN's ratings would benefit, They were more than willing to disregard breaches of traditional journalistic standards by CNN personalities such as Don Lemon and Jake Tapper, or even to engage in blatant breaches of journalistic ethics themselves, Cuomo's filing stated.
00:06:40.000Not that we all didn't already know this, but it's good to hear it.
00:06:43.000And I just want to point out one more thing in this document from the filing.
00:06:49.000I was really hoping it was going to be on March 15th that Cuomo issued the statement.
00:06:57.000So basically what he's saying is he shouldn't have been fired because everybody else was doing it and that was the culture there and so now it's okay.
00:07:09.000Now, like, now everybody's in trouble.
00:07:11.000Well, no, now he's saying, like, look, look how, look, they fired me, it was wrong, you know.
00:07:16.000Well, I think what he's basically saying is, if they're firing me for violating these ethics, but they do it every day, that was wrongful termination.
00:07:24.000Well, listen, to be accused of violating journalistic ethics, don't you have to be a journalist?
00:07:49.000You know, I was on there two or three times, and we watched this guy.
00:07:53.000I remember back during the pandemic when he would tell everybody to wear a mask, and then there's pictures of him out in public without a mask.
00:08:00.000I mean, it's unbelievable, the hypocrisy.
00:08:02.000It transcends so many parts of our culture.
00:08:12.000When he was actually at one of his properties in the Hamptons, some guy in a fat tire bike rolls up and is like, hey, aren't you supposed to be quarantined?
00:08:20.000You know, I think we have a serious problem in this country where, you know, we were talking just before the show downstairs and I said, we have a low light filter for the chicken city.
00:13:20.000All of a sudden now, you know, I'll Google search a story, and you're more likely to find the truth on a conservative or right-leaning newspaper than you would at CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, or otherwise.
00:13:36.000Like, you talk about Officer Sitnick, you have to go to the second or third Google page to see the autopsy reports and what the coroner actually deemed.
00:13:45.000Like, the fake stories are still there.
00:13:47.000You can't even... Try pulling up any Fox News article.
00:14:06.000And quite frankly, there's been a lot of people, myself included, that say, look, you guys are trying, what you're doing is going to destroy the foundation of this country if we stand by and let you.
00:14:16.000And we shouldn't stand by and let you.
00:14:18.000I tell people when they find out I'm a congressman, they say, what party?
00:15:39.000Like, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
00:15:40.000But on top of that, they don't want to confront their own morality.
00:15:43.000So when they start saying, like, you know, when their values don't—or the bad things they do don't align with society, they want to make excuses for it.
00:15:53.000And that's why our republic is falling, too, because it was meant for a virtuous society.
00:16:55.000The first challenge is the double standard, we all agree, that's a problem.
00:16:58.000You don't get to come out and say, we gotta follow these rules, and then the president's kid gets to break all the rules.
00:17:04.000The second thing is, however, I don't think, I think it's burdensome to get a firearm in the first place, and so maybe there's an argument about a simple background check that doesn't even take that long, but if you have a right to keep and bear arms, then we gotta talk about what the Constitution means and what the limits are.
00:17:21.000So I'm always wary to, you know, come out and be like, oh, he had a gun the wrong way.
00:17:25.000And I'm like, well, you know, if he was doing drugs that I get now you're a criminal and you're due process you through due process, you do lose certain rights.
00:17:34.000But I also want to make sure we keep the door open to say like, I'm a big fan of nationwide constitutional carry.
00:17:39.000So There was a bumper sticker that came out in Texas, I don't know about up here, back probably in the 60s or 70s, and it said, when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
00:17:55.000He said the best way to get gun control is to lock up the criminals and thugs that have been convicted of a gun crime, put them behind the jail, and then if you don't throw away the key, at least lose it for a long time.
00:18:09.000We now have the New York Times openly admitting that, let me read a little bit here.
00:18:14.000They say, if you are really industrious, you can dig 20 pages into the A section of today's New York Times and find a 1,700 word news story by three of its top reporters relating that the Justice Department's investigation of President Biden's son, Hunter, is not merely a tax matter.
00:18:30.000Turns out that prosecutors are probing his penchant for cashing in on his father's political influence through payments by overseas entities for which he did not register as a foreign agent.
00:18:39.000Well, even better, if you weighed 23 paragraphs into the story, you will learn that prosecutors are examining emails between Biden and his business associates that come from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Hunter Biden in a Delaware repair shop, you don't say.
00:18:55.000This is the story that the New York Times had said was, you know, Russian disinformation.
00:19:00.000Maybe not the New York Times, because I want to misquote them, but I know several reporters were saying it was disinformation, it was questionable.
00:19:06.000Biden himself said it was Russian disinformation.
00:20:18.000So 45% of Biden voters said they did not know about Hunter Biden's deals, and 9.5% said, as you mentioned, they would not have voted for him had they known.
00:20:27.000And now the New York Times is coming out and saying, hey, remember that thing we called you crazy conspiracy theorists for believing?
00:20:32.000Well, put a dollar in the jar, because a couple months later, you're allowed to believe that thing.
00:20:39.000Yeah, and that's exactly what we saw all the time.
00:20:41.000In our district, I'm a very conservative district.
00:20:55.000And I had his endorsement when I ran, along with Governor Rick Perry and then Attorney General Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz, and I can go right down the list because they know how conservative I am.
00:21:06.000But we put all that information out in our district, making that point, and the Jefferson County in our district was the only swing county out of 254 counties in Texas.
00:22:11.000Authoritarians, oligarchs, whatever you want to call it.
00:22:14.000So my question is, you know, over the past several months, I've just been saying, at a certain point with all the lies, you know, Jussie Smollett, now a free man, believe me.
00:22:23.000We get more, we get stories every single year, some big news cycles, some big protests, and it turns out to be a liar manipulation.
00:22:29.000And I'm just thinking, how do we just finally say to the likes of CNN and the New York Times or whatever, You guys can go play over there with your dwindling audiences, and we're going to keep the truth here and have these conversations somewhere else.
00:22:42.000How do we create our own narratives, right?
00:22:45.000Well, one way was what you said earlier.
00:22:46.000Hey, look, tell your friends about this show.
00:22:57.000Well, right now we're chasing our tails, though.
00:22:59.000Republican messaging in general is still having to respond to the national media, the mainstream media.
00:23:05.000And instead of putting our own content out, we are, here we are again, responding to fake news stories over and over again, rather than highlighting what we should be doing and what's wrong.
00:23:15.000That's what the narrative is, and what should we be focusing on.
00:23:49.000No it's all they do. Yeah it's all they do.
00:23:52.000The scary thing I suppose is we laugh at being right and we laugh at the absurdity
00:23:57.000but look at gas prices, look at inflation, look at the Afghanistan withdrawal,
00:24:01.000look at what's going on in Eastern Europe.
00:24:03.000These lies and this manipulation is burning our country to the ground.
00:24:09.000Now, the thing is, the left, Antifa, when they get tricked, they scream until their vocal cords shred and they smash windows and start fires.
00:24:18.000We point out the lies and start laughing and saying, ha ha, we were right the whole time.
00:24:22.000There's this vile rage that is being wielded through the manipulation of the media that does give them power.
00:24:29.000And it's causing problems and harm to this country.
00:24:32.000Well, all the attention is aimed toward them, and then they say, you know, these poor people, they don't need more police, they need social workers.
00:24:42.000And I'm like, oh my gosh, you can't make this up.
00:24:51.000I'm a bit libertarian in a lot of these respects, but I think the issue is we're seeing the other side of that extremism from the progressives in places like New York where they let all the criminals out.
00:25:04.000And then you get, there was one guy who was like a 40 time repeat offender who was laughing, being like, y'all locked me up the first time, just let me go.
00:25:10.000And it's like, he's going to keep doing it.
00:25:30.000You go and meet them, you talk to them, you elect your law enforcement.
00:25:33.000You go to these big cities and it's just faceless law enforcement, faceless judges, nobody talks to their neighbor, and that leads to the kind of authoritarianism.
00:25:42.000It leads to the police brutality the left is complaining about all the time.
00:25:45.000Yeah, well let me brag on Texas for a minute because where I'm from, we know all of our elected officials and I live in a district, of course, we're about not quite 900,000 people now with the redistricting.
00:25:57.000And in my county, one of the biggest cities is League City, it's about 110,000 and then Beaumont's about 100,000.
00:26:03.000And so there's big cities around, right?
00:26:05.000And we know all of our elected officials.
00:26:07.000In Texas, we're so pro-law enforcement, pro-life, and pro-gun, you can go right down the list.
00:26:13.000We know, and they know us, too, and they know they can depend on us and we can depend on them.
00:26:19.000Probably not so much in the Northeast, Chicago, West, the Left Coast, as I call it, some of the others.
00:26:24.000Yeah, this is, so, I think one thing that's really important in the discussion about police is that New York is very, very different from, you know, Beaumont, for instance.
00:26:33.000So people in New York, when they're saying defund the police or whatever, they're talking about a bunch of different problems.
00:26:37.000My response to a lot of these, you know, blue city urban police departments is they were locking down people for COVID, violating their constitutional rights, shutting down churches.
00:26:47.000So I'm like, by all means, get rid of them.
00:27:03.000You see all these like murder rates going up and crime and now serial killer in New York but even in Amazon's moving their their one of their main headquarters out of Seattle because of all the violence that's been happening with on the street and so the people that are are that are in that city have to look around and say this is what we get for saying defund the police this is what we get for these little let them destroy themselves You know, in Texas, I wasn't there this time, because I was in Congress, but they passed a bill this last time about sanctuary cities that said, look, if you're a sanctuary city in Texas and you don't believe in enforcing immigration law and all those things, you don't get any state funding.
00:27:39.000You want to defund your police and be a sanctuary city and you want state funding?
00:27:44.000If you're a sanctuary city, you get zero funding.
00:28:04.000And by golly, do you know that it wasn't a very short order, I don't know, a month or two later, that Austin came back and put $110 million or whatever it was back in the budget for the police?
00:28:14.000All this kind of stuff freaks me out because you've got people from California moving to Austin, moving to Texas.
00:28:21.000And what they don't understand, we had a ton of people telling us, you guys should move to Austin.
00:28:25.000And we're like, we're going to go to West Virginia, or at least the West Virginia area for the most part.
00:28:29.000And the thing about Texas is when Joe Rogan, for instance, you know, he's a good dude.
00:28:33.000When he moves to Austin, it's because he thinks California's going crazy.
00:28:38.000And you can reasonably talk to him and say, you're not going to support those kind of policies, are you?
00:28:43.000And he'll tell you, you know, he's like, oh, I wouldn't do that.
00:29:44.000Now, I will say, and maybe I'm being a little naive here, but I just want to try to throw some optimism in.
00:29:50.000There are a lot of conservative people in California who just don't vote in any of their elections because they see their state as hopelessly blue, and I hope that those are the kinds of people moving off to Texas, and so you're going to have an influx of red voters as well, but obviously the blue voters coming in and trying to change the face of the political scene there is a huge problem.
00:30:09.000Yeah, it is, Seamus, and we're not unaware of that.
00:30:11.000There's actually a group that's out there registering voters.
00:31:07.000But he's done amazing work, and I think his work has led to the Republican Party in Florida becoming bigger than the Democratic Party, something like that.
00:31:16.000We're seeing the border crisis, too, turn some border towns that were traditionally blue really red, too.
00:31:23.000McAllen, Texas, elected a Republican mayor.
00:31:26.000Well, isn't it hilarious how as soon as left-wing people actually have to face the consequences of their policies, instead of getting to shove it off onto somebody else, they mysteriously turn red?
00:31:36.000Well, think about it in this context, because we talked about getting the news out, how the news media twisted everything, and that's why I think it's important people listen to this, right?
00:31:44.000Did I mention people ought to share this?
00:31:53.000But, so they're not getting real news down there, but when they see illegals coming across the border, now when I was in the State House, I was on the Borders Committee, my second term, I was the Vice Chair.
00:32:02.000And back then, in that one year, that was 2010, 11 rather, there was 5,000 Texans who were either hurt, raped, violently attacked, burglarized, murdered, killed.
00:32:17.000By people who shouldn't even be in Texas.
00:32:21.000If we've got 70,000 kids coming across the border in a month, and we've had that, if you think about kindergarten education, K-12, I was on the public education committee for four years, K-12, do this math, if you've got 70,000 kids coming across the border, let's just say the average school K-12 is 10,000.
00:32:41.000That is seven complete school districts that you have to fund, right?
00:33:12.000Oh yeah, I mean, for years the Democrats have argued that it's misinformation to say that illegal immigrants receive any kind of welfare or state funding.
00:33:19.000And firstly, there actually are illegal immigrants who have family members who are on welfare and so they receive it that way.
00:33:25.000But also, when you enter into a country and you're not registered in the system and paying taxes, but you're receiving benefits from the system, it's functionally the exact same problem.
00:33:34.000One of the most interesting points that I was reading about when it comes to illegal immigration is how they affect the presidential vote.
00:33:42.000Because the way we vote is by electoral college.
00:33:45.000And so when you get non-citizens in a district, they still count towards the... Census.
00:33:51.000So that means a state with a large population of non-citizens will get an extra district or two based on those non-citizens, which means an extra electoral college vote.
00:35:40.000They will be violated numerous times coming up across the border there.
00:35:44.000And they actually have trees where they hang the clothing of their victims.
00:35:48.000We're talking women's underwear and stuff like that, and trees, and they call them rape trees, they call them.
00:35:54.000And I've been there and seen with my own eyes.
00:35:58.000It's appalling, and I don't get why the Biden administration and the Democrats don't see that.
00:36:04.000When you give people accurate information, it's interesting how the Democrat narrative makes no sense.
00:36:16.000So, for instance, you go to a regular American and say, should the United States help people who are fleeing gang violence and need asylum?
00:36:26.000You'll say, then follow up, if these people are coming from, say, Brazil, Should they be allowed to trek all the way up through all of these countries and through Mexico into the United States for asylum, most people will say, wait, what?
00:37:25.000Well, Tim, when I was there, the director of the DPS there, my youngest son's a special agent for the FBI, and Steve McCraw was a former FBI guy, retired, and Rick Perry appointed him, and we found out I had an FBI family.
00:38:00.000Islamic extremists are also making plans to come up from the Horn of Africa, and they're coming in.
00:38:05.000I think it was like Joseph E. Meyer or somebody that had been tracking that for a really long time.
00:38:09.000I've actually heard from several journalists that extremist groups know they can enter through the southern border rather easily, and that's one of the main ways to get in.
00:38:18.000One of the points you were making is about how as soon as you have more information the democratic narrative falls apart and that's a huge part of the reason why they have to call people names for disagreeing with them and why they have to frame every issue really dishonestly.
00:38:30.000So if you look at the conversation that we're having on border security very plainly it's essentially one group of people saying There should be some vetting of people at the border.
00:38:39.000We should have a handle on who's in here.
00:38:41.000People should become citizens because we, as a democratic nation, supposedly where the people have a say, should have some say on who's entering the country.
00:38:50.000The other side of the discussion is literally just There should literally be zero oversight on who is entering the country.
00:38:57.000The people should have absolutely no say.
00:38:58.000When you put it that way, it's extremely obvious which side of the issue you should be on, whether you consider yourself liberal or conservative.
00:39:05.000But the way they frame it is, well, either you think everyone should be able to come here and get whatever benefits they want, or you're racist.
00:39:13.000Yeah, and look, if we don't have a border, we're not a sovereign country.
00:40:11.000Congress makes immigration and naturalization laws, not the President of the United States.
00:40:15.000But we really need to think about why they don't care, why they think it should be that way.
00:40:19.000They want these people to come in because they want them, again, dependent on them so that they'll get their votes and they can maintain more power and implement their progressive ideologies.
00:40:31.000I think we should allow every single person on the planet to immigrate to the United States But it's got to be through a controlled legal process, which means there's also going to be certain times at which we can't allow people to come in.
00:40:45.000What I mean to say is everyone should have the opportunity to try.
00:40:48.000But this means if we can't handle the burden, it means if we can figure out where people can go to.
00:40:55.000I went to Sweden to explore the refugee crisis and a lot of the claims that were being made about it.
00:41:01.000A lot of people on the right were saying that violent crime was through the roof because of these refugees that were coming from the war in the Middle East.
00:41:07.000As it turns out, while that was partly true, there was an increase in crime for that reason.
00:41:11.000A lot of the crime we were seeing was due to the Somali refugees of the 80s and 90s and their children growing up feeling stateless, feeling like they weren't part of the community.
00:41:21.000What happened was, when those people came in in the 90s, Sweden didn't track where they were going, what they were doing, and so they formed enclaves.
00:41:29.000They were told by Sweden, okay, everybody move here, and then you're good.
00:41:35.000Those kids grew up in an area where everyone speaks the same language, but they're Swedish citizens, but people in Sweden who are white, you know, natives, did not view them as Swedish.
00:41:46.000Then they would go home to their home country to see their parents, and they would be called Swedish.
00:41:49.000So all of a sudden you have these individuals who feel stateless because they weren't able to integrate, they weren't given the opportunity.
00:41:56.000The reason why you have checkpoints and borders in an immigration process is to maximize the opportunity for those who are actually coming to the country.
00:42:03.000If you look at what the left is defending with these porous borders, it's children wandering through 90 miles of open desert, being found dead in ditches, being left without parents, being left sick.
00:42:15.000One of the most disgusting things I saw There was a young child, I think it was a little girl, maybe like 11 years old, who died.
00:42:21.000And the news reports were like, child dies in ICE custody, and it's all this crazy.
00:42:26.000And then the story actually was, ICE found a sick girl dying in the desert, and did everything in their power to try and save her life.
00:42:34.000And so they rushed her to the facility, and she died, and the media tried framing it like they killed her.
00:42:39.000I've been there with my own eyes and seen the facilities that they have.
00:42:43.000And let me back up and just say this too, that look, if we're going to let, if Congress is going to increase the immigration quotas by country that we have, that's up to Congress.
00:44:02.000And so, it's fascinating to me that the narrative from the left is often, oh, these poor refugees who are so broke and helpless, and I'm like, they got three grand.
00:44:10.000I mean drug cartels yeah to traffic up here and it's dangerous you know they
00:44:15.000don't got 50 bucks to help us afford the cost to make sure that I mean we're
00:44:19.000talking about helping people who are genuine asylees or whatever get get
00:44:23.000proper placement that means we need infrastructure we got to pay for it it
00:44:26.000does cost money to immigrate here through like USCIS but we they have fee
00:44:31.000petition waivers that you can you can fill out and you can come here for free
00:44:34.000you can you know fill out all the paperwork and file it with USCIS if you
00:44:39.000file a fee petition waiver and claim some hardship so it's actually less
00:44:43.000expensive to do it the right way yeah than it is to come over and be smuggled
00:44:48.000unless you're trying to break through the border and sneak into the country.
00:44:51.000I want to pull up this story real quick because you guys had mentioned this before the show and
00:44:55.000it's an interesting story. Axios is reporting Biden officials fear mass migration event if
00:45:00.000COVID policies end. Axios reports US intelligence officials are privately bracing for a massive
00:45:06.000influx of more than 170,000 migrants to the Mexico border.
00:45:10.000If COVID era policies that allow instant expulsions during the public health emergency are
00:45:15.000ended, sources with direct knowledge of the discussions tell Axios. The response
00:45:19.000underway includes a newly created and previously unreported Southwest border coordination center,
00:45:24.000essentially a war room to coordinate an intra-agency response.
00:45:29.000So they're basically saying that Title 42 has been used more than 1 million times to rapidly expel migrants to the southern border without hearing asylum claims.
00:45:37.000But the Trump era order wasn't set up to be permanent and senior Biden officials are preparing for its end as the virus is brought under control.
00:45:45.000This means that when Title 42 ends, all of a sudden, 170,000 migrants are going to rush the border because they can't be instantly expelled.
00:45:53.000And that means our immigration system won't be able to handle a massive influx of that magnitude.
00:45:59.000They're already not able to handle it.
00:46:01.000We've had for the last every month since Biden has been elected, has the people crossing the border has increased in January from from January to February, just went up another 7 percent.
00:46:13.000But our media has totally They've forgotten about the border crisis in general.
00:47:04.000But they come here uneducated, and they come here to take jobs, right, from Americans in many instances.
00:47:11.000And so they have to opt to go to the United States Embassy, whether it's Bolivia, whether it's Argentina, whether it's Mexico, Guatemala, and apply for asylum there.
00:47:20.000And the best thing Biden could have done was to have let Trump's policy stay in to effect on energy, on immigration, and a whole lot of things.
00:47:29.000If Biden would have just done nothing from first day, but he starts reversing them all, and we're seeing the effect of it.
00:47:34.000Do you see there was a video, one of the migrant caravans several years ago, they were coming from I think Honduras.
00:47:39.000They're in Mexico, they're in southern Mexico.
00:47:44.000And they get the announcement that Mexico will offer them all asylum and refugee status in Mexico.
00:47:49.000And someone in the caravan yells, how many of you want to stay in Mexico?
00:47:54.000And then it says, how many of you want to go to America?
00:48:24.000They have Buffalo Wild Wings, it's awesome.
00:48:26.000Vox ran a quote from one of the migrants in the caravan several years ago, and a French journalist asked this migrant, why do you want to go to America?
00:48:37.000And he said, I miss buffalo wild wings.
00:48:39.000And I'm like, well, hold on there a minute.
00:48:42.000B-dubs is awesome, but they have B-dubs in Mexico.
00:48:46.000I went to Mexico City and specifically sought out a buffalo wild wings, and I got me some honey barbecue wings with ranch dressing, and it was great.
00:48:53.000It's funny you say that about Mexico because everybody thinks Texans ride horses everywhere, which the Greenies would probably be okay with if we rode over here on horses, but I keep reminding them that horses have emissions.
00:49:30.000And I cannot think of anything more suicidally stupid for a nation to do—maybe a few things,
00:49:35.000but not many things more suicidally stupid for a nation to do—than say, instead of
00:49:38.000taking the people who want to follow our laws and respect our culture, let's just bring
00:49:44.000in everybody who's willing to violate our norms and break our laws and not respect our
00:49:49.000nation and tell the people who want to respect it that they can't come because we brought
00:49:53.000in too many of the people in the former category.
00:49:55.000Or they have to be way, and they are already, way down in the line.
00:49:59.000It takes years and years and so now you've got an immigration system that, as I pointed out earlier, we need judges and courts and clerks and all those kinds of things.
00:50:06.000Now the people who are trying to do it legally are pushed way back because of those jumping ahead.
00:50:11.000Our asylum courts, so once they come here they get released and they're supposed to go to asylum courts.
00:50:18.000They're backed up for about four years so they get let into the country and then for four years they're allowed to do whatever they want, work wherever they want, do whatever they need to do before they even get a hearing to see if they Should be deported or not.
00:50:30.000You look at some of the news reports that have been coming out for the past year or so, it's much, much worse than that.
00:50:34.000We're hearing, there was the video footage released from, I think it was Westchester, New York, where the Biden administration has been smuggling undocumented children, illegal immigrant kids, into various states.
00:50:47.000And you actually had a federal contractor tell a local cop, if the American people knew what we were doing, and he says, what do you mean?
00:50:57.000These are, we had Tennessee found out because of secret video that these illegal immigrant kids were being flown in in the middle of the night into these other states and then just released.
00:51:08.000It is not just that our courts are backed up, it's that I view this as the Biden administration is desperately trying to sweep under the rug what's happening.
00:51:19.000You had those videos coming out from McAllen, Texas of the kids under the highway.
00:51:34.000Well, so I think what they're doing is we don't want the media to see this.
00:51:37.000So just take the kids in the middle of the night and fly them to a random location.
00:51:40.000You know, Tim, what you're describing almost sounds like a swamp.
00:51:44.000Isn't that amazing that there's bureaucrats in there that they want to do it their way and there's so much corrupt and so much stuff?
00:51:50.000As that guy pointed out, once you just related their government, our government has betrayed us.
00:51:57.000In a lot of ways, I think it's sad to say, maybe it's not so much that our government has, but that our government has been, for a very long time, there are people in our government who don't care about us, don't care about the country, and I think it's apparent when you see what's happening with schools, how they're teaching that America is bad or evil, they really just don't like this place.
00:52:18.000And there's that joke about, man, all of those freedom-loving Cubans who want to escape and make it, or Venezuelans, we'd love for them to come, cherishing the ideas of freedom and liberty.
00:52:28.000And those who want socialism and communism and hate America can go to the countries that also hate America.
00:52:32.000It's like, you know, we gotta disproportionate, we gotta have like a prisoner swap or a population swap, right?
00:52:45.000I have infinitely more respect for the Honduran who says, I'm going to travel, you know, thousands of miles through desert, risking my life because America is awesome, as opposed to these leftists in the United States who are like, America is evil and wrong and colonial.
00:52:59.000That being said, jumping the line over someone who has the same belief and says, America is awesome.
00:53:18.000Yeah, and for the most part, this isn't the case 100% of the time, and I'm speaking anecdotally, but when I meet legal immigrants, they tend to be very patriotic people who lean conservative, and they really do not like illegal immigration.
00:54:01.000And so you see that every single day on the border.
00:54:04.000You know, what's really crazy to me is that several hundred years ago, people from all over the world, mostly Europeans, you know, they decided to get on boats because they needed jobs and they risked their lives on, you know, sailing for three months.
00:54:17.000I think like, what, 20% of people on these ships from Europe to North America would die.
00:54:21.000Of dysentery and stuff like that, yeah.
00:54:38.000When Game of Thrones says winter is coming, people in the United States don't really understand what that means anymore because we have strawberries in the winter due to technology.
00:54:47.000But it, you know, when we're talking about, you know, we've got chickens, we had a garden for a while, and we're thinking about how much food are we producing for ourselves, more as a hobby, how many eggs, how many berries, how many tomatoes, and then fall hits and we're like, zero, nothing.
00:55:02.000The berries are no longer being produced.
00:55:05.000The gardens are all just basically done and dead.
00:55:08.000The chicken production drops dramatically.
00:55:09.000We have some chickens that lay throughout.
00:55:10.000And I thought to myself, like, man, if we did not have supermarkets with imported avocados from Mexico, and we were reliant on ourselves for food, what would we do?
00:55:41.000They kicked out a bunch of state legislators because of the way they treated school parents.
00:55:45.000And you all saw, by the way, parenthetically, in New Jersey, Back in this last November, we unelected the top Democrat in New Jersey in the Senate.
00:55:55.000A truck driver beat him, spent less than, what was it?
00:56:14.000They're not learning this stuff, and I went in to get my oil changed here a while back, and I thought this kid was very, you know, impersonable, that kind of stuff, personable.
00:56:53.000Bob, sit down, let me talk to you for just a minute.
00:56:54.000And then I relayed to him the story of people coming over here and the fact that the Indians did help, you know, help them learn how to farm and raise stuff like we know.
00:57:04.000But kids are not being taught the history of our country.
00:57:08.000And so it's fascinating, you know, my point was so many people say, I need work.
00:57:13.000And I wonder, you know, what can you do to just go and try and survive?
00:57:19.000I guess the reality is, you know, we were talking about this in the members segment the other day, and it was, you know, I think it was fairly brutal and probably offensive to a lot of people.
00:57:29.000We talk about what schools are doing to people's children in terms of indoctrination, and I would often say to parents and to people, you need to stand up for what you believe in if you're at a company and they're saying these things.
00:57:40.000And people would always say like, oh, I can't risk losing my job because, you know, I have kids.
00:57:45.000And I thought to myself, Would you be willing to sacrifice your kid to this indoctrination, this dogma, for the sake of comfort?
00:57:54.000So when you see people come to you at the border and they say, I need a job, it's because a job in America means air conditioning, it means a refrigerator, it means clean running water.
00:58:05.000And the reality of the world is that you would be digging a hole and making a fire and hunting a deer and having to find ways to survive from the ground up.
00:58:15.000But because the United States is wealthy, people are coming here and what they're saying is, please let me share in your wealth.
00:58:26.000So I wonder if what we really need to start doing for ourselves and for everybody is help teach people how to farm, how to develop, how to, you know... Farming, I think, is one of the most important things.
00:58:36.000If people are having issues, can we help them be self-sufficient through education instead of just saying, come here and bask in the wealth?
00:58:43.000Are you talking about giving money to other nations to teach them how to be self-sufficient?
00:59:10.000And it's, you know, giving them information on farming practices and crop rotation, how to set up wells and everything, does infinitely more.
00:59:21.000You give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, you teach a man a fish, you feed him for the rest of his life.
00:59:24.000When you talk about we don't have infinite resources, and you're exactly right.
00:59:27.000I remember, and this is what the left is doing.
00:59:29.000They just want more and more people, bigger government, have the government dependent on them, and keep voting them in office.
00:59:34.000There was a Scottish professor, I think the University of Edinburgh, in 17-something, who literally his name was Alexander Tytler who literally
00:59:44.000said back then that democracy can only exist until the rank and file people discover they
00:59:49.000can vote themselves funds from the general treasury. That's right. And when they do it's
00:59:53.000over. And we're getting dangerously close.
00:59:56.000That's right. Oh, I think we're past. Let me let me let me pull up the story we got from
00:59:59.000simcast.com. Almost 400 gallons of gas stolen from North Carolina gas station.
01:00:06.000This is but one specific moment, but it's part of a series of stories that I've been seeing throughout the past week or so, where people are showing up and stealing gas.
01:00:14.000One of the craziest was that a van pulls up to a gas pump, and they have the intake on the ground, and the van had a trap door.
01:00:22.000Pulls up to the pump, while they're pumping gas, they open the trap door and hook into the gas station's reservoir to steal gas.
01:00:48.000Because it's people who don't like Kyle Rittenhouse making fun of Joe Biden and what's happening with gas in this country and all that stuff.
01:00:54.000So I highlight this story just to show the level of strain that we're currently experiencing for a variety of reasons when it comes to energy.
01:01:02.000And I want to give a reminder to everybody that when these climate change activists say they want to end fossil fuels, that pain you're feeling at the pump where you're joking about how you're crying as you spend $100 to fill your car up, It's going to be $200, $300 to fill your car up when the climate change activists get their way.
01:01:18.000Now, now I'm not saying, I'm not, I'm not passing moral judgment on climate change activism.
01:01:22.000I'm saying if you want fossil fuels to be done with, that's fine, but don't complain about, you know, 300 bucks to fill up your gas tank or you not driving anymore.
01:01:33.000Well, look, you have to have fossil fuels for our military.
01:01:40.000It's national security, a good energy supply.
01:01:43.000And y'all may not know this, but Texas is number one wind energy state in the country.
01:01:46.000We're number two in solar panels, right?
01:01:48.000And we produce a lot of the nation's fuel, oil, and gas.
01:01:51.000And I didn't say this earlier, but the Keystone Pipeline comes into my district.
01:01:55.000It moves 830,000 barrels of crude a day.
01:01:58.000Remember when the Colonial Pipeline System got hacked into last year?
01:02:03.000The Southeast part of the United States, that pipeline system moves a little less than 3 million barrels of product a day.
01:02:11.000So when the Colonial Pipeline System is 830,000 barrels, it's over one-fourth of the output of the Colonial Pipeline System coming into Texas so that we can refine it, we can sell oil, gasoline, produce jobs, whether it's jet fuel, whatever it might be.
01:02:27.000The Biden people shut that down on day one.
01:02:30.000We wouldn't be in such a bad straight with Ukraine if the fossil fuel people hadn't been doing such a number on, I mean the anti-fossil fuels.
01:03:08.000Did I mention in Texas things were bigger and better?
01:03:13.00085% of the state is under ERCOT, the other 50%, which a lot of it's in my district, by the way, Energy Company, which does a great job.
01:03:23.000So, again, growing up 20-mile radius, 68 years, I've never seen it be 18 degrees in Galveston.
01:03:30.000So there was a lot of fossil fuel plants, natural gas, we have a lot of natural gas, that were shut down normally in the wintertime for maintenance, right?
01:03:38.000Because our biggest supply for need for electricity is in the summer.
01:03:43.000Summers in Texas are hot, you know what I mean?
01:03:46.000And so they shut down for maintenance.
01:03:48.000It was so cold that a lot of those plants who weren't set up for frozen pipes because it doesn't get that cold, some of their water system froze and then they couldn't keep pumping, even the ones that weren't down for maintenance.
01:04:00.000And here's a little bit of the technical part.
01:04:02.000ERCOT has to manage the electricity on the grid.
01:04:05.000It goes by Hertz cycles, 60 Hertz cycles.
01:04:08.000And I don't remember the exact number, but if after all of this power consumption is being done, If it starts dropping down to 59 point something or whatever it is, if it gets to a certain degree, then it'll backfeed and it'll burn the windings in the generators in the systems that are online.
01:05:45.000We had Yucca Mountain set aside, and I've been to a nuclear waste facility in Andrews, Texas, and it's a waste control specialty, and they have a fantastic concrete, all the state-of-the-art stuff to put in low-level radiation waste.
01:05:59.000And so we've got Yucca Mountain, which was designed to do that, where you could take it away from almost every town, every city, in a facility that was going to be run by the federal government, where it would be safe.
01:07:03.000If you're watching the geopolitical thing going back to Russia and Ukraine right now, they've had a misinformation program going on against fossil fuel.
01:07:13.000You know, the left has had it for a long time funneled by Russian money.
01:07:18.000And the statistics are that Russia has increased their nuclear fleet by 30 percent, and Germany has cut theirs by 80 percent.
01:07:28.000And now Europe is going to be dependent on Russia, and they've planned that all along, and their Russian disinformation program is trying to knock out our fossil fuels.
01:07:36.000There's a lot of NGOs over here, and anti-fracking, anti-pipeline.
01:08:44.000I said, we've got a state agency called ERCOT, and a lot of them live here, and they shop, their kids go to school, and they do all this stuff here, and you want some Washington bureaucrat?
01:09:29.000I'm glad you brought Russia up because I find it really hilarious how all of the people who are against nuclear power and want to demonize it are also really comfortable with the idea of going to war with a nation that is armed with nukes.
01:10:55.000Someone posted, there's a meme going around.
01:10:57.000It's been on Twitter and Facebook and it says, the cost to produce wind energy has gone up zero dollars and zero cents since the war in Russia and Ukraine.
01:12:33.000We just need to start being self-sufficient in the United States.
01:12:36.000How about making it easier to drill, easier to dig, permits to mine?
01:12:40.000How about the federal government move out of the way and let entrepreneurs and companies do their job?
01:12:45.000You know, I feel like it's because for a lot of these Democrats, they need to make sure there's a problem that they can only be the ones to solve.
01:12:52.000And we're heavily subsidizing the green energy industry in general, where they were supposed to not have their subsidies renewed, and yet they came back to us a second time and asked to have them renewed.
01:13:06.000If it is sustainable and it is what society demands and what the market demands, then we shouldn't have to be subsidizing them.
01:13:13.000Let's pull up this story from Town Hall from March 9th, my birthday just past week.
01:13:17.000Russia funneled cash to anti-fossil fuel climate extremists 2018 report.
01:13:25.000They say as the cost of a gallon of gas continues to break state and national records, many are criticizing President Biden for taking an energy independent United States and putting the country in the position of relying upon foreign powers to meet American consumers demand.
01:13:38.000In addition to the pain being felt by Americans at the pump, it's also become clear that being energy-dependent is a national security liability when foes around the world, such as Russia, China, Iran, et al., get antsy or start an all-out war.
01:13:51.000Conservatives rightly point to radical environmentalists, unhinged anti-fracking and anti-pipeline activists, and Democrat officials including Biden, Schumer, Pelosi, Sanders, and AOC as the driving force behind anti-fossil fuel protests.
01:14:03.000Just a few years ago, through a congressional investigation into Russian interference in U.S.
01:14:06.000politics, revealed evidence that Russia had a role going back more than a decade now in the radical campaign to get the U.S.
01:14:13.000and other Western countries to shift away from fossil fuels, a goal much like one of Biden's Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm stated last week.
01:14:20.000Now, the first thing I want to say is I'm very skeptical when it comes to the Russian collusion, the Russia influence and stuff.
01:14:28.000But that's, it's fair to say we know that Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, even smaller countries are constantly playing these propagandistic moves.
01:14:38.000My question is, as we're learning about this, is it actually that severe?
01:14:42.000Is Russia actually having an impact in the United States to the point where it's going to cause us to become energy dependent?
01:16:06.000It's just the Democrats had brought that out.
01:16:09.000Listen, what they took to the FISA court, some of those activists in the FBI.
01:16:13.000My son's an FBI agent, as I said earlier.
01:16:15.000Most of them, almost all of them great, but there was a few activists at the top of the chain there in the FBI.
01:16:21.000What they did by lying to a federal court, the FISA court, if you and I brought information to any kind of court and signed off that it was right, they knew it wasn't, we would be under the jailhouse.
01:16:34.000So that Russia collusion has kind of stuck in people's craw for a long time, but when we discovered this in 2017, Lamar Smith and I wrote a letter right then to Steve Mnuchin, Secretary of the Treasury, and said, look, there's some money laundering going on here.
01:18:00.000Yeah, I wonder what they're thinking about him today.
01:18:02.000I wonder what those same truckers think.
01:18:05.000They still keep defending people like that.
01:18:08.000So I think it's fair to point out, as we previously mentioned, Putin has a real reason to incentivize the United States to get off of fossil fuels so that we become dependent upon them.
01:18:27.000The actual campaign went against fossil fuels in terms of fracking, in terms of LNG, everything that they did in Europe and they're doing over here.
01:18:38.000Now, my district, as you know, exports LNG and they look for 20-year contracts.
01:18:44.000And so when they contract with a country like Poland and some of the others, it's a long-term contract.
01:19:38.000My view of this, because I've been following these stories for, you know, almost a decade, with the Qatar-Turkey pipeline, Syria, Assad, and of course the U.S.
01:19:46.000trying to, I should say the West, wanting to offset Russia's control of natural gas through Ukraine.
01:19:50.000You've got gas coming through Israel, you could come up through Cyprus, and there's a lot of discussion about that too.
01:19:59.000Was there something going on with the U. S. Burisma in attempting to shut down Russia's, you know, control with, you know, that's one thing I'm not familiar with.
01:20:06.000I started hearing first hearing about that with with the Biden thing when literally Joe Biden 100 Biden.
01:20:13.000And, by the way, I know they're concerned because with Ukraine in a heck of a mess it is now, I mean, does that mean Hunter Biden's salary is getting cut?
01:20:21.000But any investigation about that was shut down.
01:23:05.000I'm of the opinion that Ocasio-Cortez absolutely knows people will die, and she doesn't care.
01:23:12.000Because these are not the kind of people that would come on a show like this and actually have a sit-down conversation about those things.
01:23:18.000She's not the kind of person... I mean, look, when she told the story on January 6th, When she told the story of January 6th, she completely fabricated it.
01:23:26.000And just, I have to tell everybody every time this comes up, but she said there's a knock on her door and she went in the bathroom and she heard someone say, where is she?
01:23:35.000And she thought to herself, they made it in.
01:23:38.000The issue was that incident happened an hour before anyone breached the Capitol building.
01:23:44.000Her office is in our building, just so you know.
01:24:13.000The only tunnel they could have gotten through, through the Capitol, would be the Cannon Tunnel, which was immediately the first thing they shut down.
01:24:33.000But it's also possible she's completely aware of what it would mean to just shut off fossil fuels and do what she's planning on doing.
01:24:38.000I mean, the whole Green New Deal... Look, when the Green New Deal was first being proposed, it was a bit vague.
01:24:45.000It was this idea of government investing in green energy.
01:24:49.000And in my opinion, I'm like, that sounds fantastic.
01:24:51.000American energy independence through renewable, we're not talking about getting rid of fossil fuels, we're talking about Bolstering our technology, maybe even fusion power?
01:25:11.000But you know what she did that was smart that, like, Republicans I don't seem to always do is that she messaged it and messaged it and messaged it when she was She had no power.
01:25:20.000She was a freshman in Congress, right?
01:25:22.000She got it in the minds of every single person out there through the young people and all, and then now, they had to do something with it.
01:25:29.000So it has evolved over time, and that's why organizations like Rosa Luxemburg Foundation and these people that are doing this propaganda are latching onto that and filling it, filling that with terrible substance because she doesn't have it on her own.
01:25:42.000I just want to say, I feel like if you took the average American who votes Democrat and just sat them down with, say, you, Randy, and AOC, they'd be voting Republican after half an hour.
01:25:52.000Or they'd be calling him racist and not listening.
01:26:10.000What we end up getting is mock offers from leftist personalities who want to just troll us.
01:26:16.000Sometimes we do have more left-leaning personalities who are willing to come on the show, and they'll argue with us, but for the most part, it's a very serious concern.
01:26:23.000Greta Thunberg said, shut down fossil fuels right now.
01:26:26.000That would result in 60 million or so dead.
01:26:30.000You never get an answer to those questions because they're not willing to answer them on these shows.
01:26:34.000I don't think they're genuine people, which is why I say you take a regular person, you take AOC, you take Randy, you put them in a room, and they're gonna walk out and be like, I didn't get any answers from the left.
01:26:43.000From the perspective of these left-wing activists, they have no reason to justify any of their positions.
01:26:47.000They're just correct, as was summarized by AOC when she said people will criticize you for being factually inaccurate when you're morally correct.
01:27:35.000It's a fair point to say they have no time to come out here to the East Coast and come on our show when they do their own show.
01:27:41.000However, they go out of their way often to misrepresent our views and lie about us.
01:27:47.000Just today, the Daily Beast wrote a fake story about Tulsi Gabbard as well as me.
01:27:51.000It was Jared Holt, who used to work for Right Wing Watch.
01:27:55.000He just wrote a fabricated narrative falsely accusing us of pushing a Q conspiracy about biolabs in Ukraine.
01:28:01.000When all we did here on the show was say, wow, Victoria Nuland testified before the Senate that she was concerned about these biolabs.
01:28:07.000And then they try and make it seem like we're pushing weird conspiracies about Vladimir Putin, stopping weapons or something, which we never did.
01:28:13.000And so when you, so we've invited Jared Holt on the show several times.
01:28:45.000In fact, what we did say as well was we said the maps showing Russian attacks and biolabs don't even sync up.
01:28:52.000And yet, the Daily Beast publishes a story accusing Tulsi Gabbard, me, Tucker Carlson, of pushing lies in line with the Kremlin for simply citing Victoria Nuland.
01:29:04.000These people won't come on and be proven wrong.
01:29:06.000Which is why I say, if you sat down with them, and here's the fascinating thing too, you're sitting here saying Texas is the win state, number one you said, right?
01:29:29.000And we know that some of the elements in the wind energy system, especially if we're talking about batteries and solar panels and stuff, the left hates nuclear because they don't want to do with the waste.
01:29:42.000They killed Yucca Mountain, even though that was a great design.
01:30:09.000You know, I really wish these people would take Energy Economics 101, the basic beginning, so they can understand things like energy return on energy invested.
01:30:20.000They can understand the root of all energy and human economy.
01:30:25.000I watched this really great documentary.
01:30:27.000And it starts off in, you know, tribal caveman era.
01:30:30.000And it said, the first form of energy utilized by man was man's own energy.
01:31:04.000Oxen could eat grass and then pull something they couldn't pull.
01:31:08.000Eventually they figured out how to burn, you know, carbon, then eventually coal, then eventually we discover petroleum, which was massively energy dense nuclear energy.
01:31:17.000And so we're constantly trying to find ways to maximize energy output with minimal energy input.
01:31:23.000And that's energy return on energy invested, which they don't understand any of these concepts.
01:31:28.000And especially the investment part of it.
01:31:29.000You know, when you've got a federal government that's so anti-fossil fuel, making it so hard for people to invest money, and I don't care whether it's a windmill farm, whether it's a nuclear facility, whether it's a gas-fired power plant, when you've got to jump through all the hoops and all the regulations, and it takes two or three years to plan something, they're making it hard to build energy.
01:31:50.000And you've got China out there, depends on whose numbers you're using, making a coal plant a week, a month, whatever it is.
01:31:56.000I don't know if you know the answer, but nuclear has the highest energy return on energy invested?
01:32:08.000But I will tell you that for nuclear, to go in and put in a nuclear system, a facility, it's billions of dollars.
01:32:15.000Now, so the payback's going to stretch way out, and when you're an investor and you're looking at those things, and the federal government's making it extremely hard for you on the front end to even get a permit, let's just say in two years, I don't want to necessarily wait that long.
01:32:27.000I should probably give an understanding of, was it E-R-O-I-E-I or whatever, for people who don't understand, it's basically fracking for a long time produced less energy than we put into it.
01:32:40.000The investment wouldn't come back out of it.
01:32:42.000And then once gas prices started to become higher and higher, all of a sudden we could put in the energy to get energy back.
01:32:49.000So what this means is, if you spend, let's do it by hours, it's a really easy way to understand it.
01:32:54.000If it takes you 100 hours to get a wind turbine up, but that wind turbine can only produce 101 hours of energy, it's a very, very weak return on building this massive structure.
01:33:05.000So you're using petroleum energy to get back even one.
01:33:09.000I think a lot of these renewables actually have a negative return.
01:33:13.000So, we're having solar installed at our new facility, and we're looking at, I think it's 30 or 40 years before we generate enough energy to cover the energy required to make the panels and the batteries.
01:33:26.000So, we use oil to run the machines that make the solar and the batteries, and that system cannot generate more energy than the oil that was put into it.
01:33:35.000It's convenient for us that if the power goes out, we will have backup power.
01:33:40.000It's convenient for us that we can generate our own power on a sunny day, but it takes oil energy to give us that convenience.
01:33:47.000Hopefully in the future, we're at a point where we can use wind energy to charge electric vehicles and factories to build more wind energy, but that's one of the big challenges we face.
01:33:58.000Don't think about all the stuff that was built in that scenario you just laid out.
01:34:01.000If you're building up silt and they're bringing huge solar panels, it's gonna be carried by a diesel truck that uses diesel.
01:34:35.000Well, here's the other thing, too, Tim.
01:34:37.000We have been good, and look, fossil fuel in and of itself is not the enemy.
01:34:42.000We can produce energy cleanly from fossil fuel.
01:34:46.000In fact, I was on the Environmental Regulatory Committee in the state of Texas, I mentioned earlier, and we oversaw a lot of the emissions in Texas.
01:34:53.000You know, we have our own facility, TCERQ, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality in Texas.
01:34:59.000It's the second largest environmental regulatory agency in the country, second only to the EPA.
01:35:04.000and we do a good job of monitoring our things in Texas. We were reducing emissions. When you've
01:35:09.000got when we kill our if the left gets their way and they kill fossil fuel I'm sure that when we
01:35:15.000kill our fossil fuel industry then China's going to follow suit, India's going to follow suit,
01:35:20.000Mexico's going to follow suit, Russia's going to follow suit. No, we can produce energy cleanly.
01:35:26.000And China doesn't produce energy as cleanly as we do.
01:35:33.000And so why are we seeking to kill our energy industry over here when it'd be less than, I forget what the figure is, less than one one-hundredth of a percent of all the emissions in the world.
01:35:43.000No, we need to be doing it as cleanly as we can, and it's national security, it's domestic security, it's economic security, and it's family security, quite frankly, because as you pointed out, they've got to be able to drive cars, go to the grocery store.
01:35:58.000If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and get your Super Chats in now so we'll be reading as many as we can.
01:36:06.000At around 11 or so p.m., we'll have a members-only segment of the podcast going up for everybody at TimCast.com.
01:36:12.000And, uh, let's read some of your superchats.
01:36:13.000The first superchat, can't read your name unfortunately, they say, why does Ian look like Seamus?
01:36:24.000Patrick's Day, he didn't wear green and he just morphed into... Well, no, Ian wasn't wearing green and Seamus just, you know, just had to hit him, right?
01:36:45.000Awesome Archivist says, Tim, I love your content, but I have one criticism.
01:36:48.000Kids born 1996-2002 are completely different from those born in 2003-2013 because of the technological jump when the first iPhone came out.
01:36:57.000That I totally understand, absolutely.
01:37:00.000Alright, Eric Miller says, since Seamus is taking Ian's place, what are his thoughts on graphene and the Federal Reserve?
01:39:29.000The first date with any one of these people, these guys are hamming it up and just saying everything, trying to seem like they're more important and cool by exposing the stuff.
01:39:42.000So when you get, and it's probably very easy for Veritas' journalists to say things like, oh yeah, you know, Trump's bad, but I mean, come on, CNN kind of pushes it, right?
01:39:52.000And then they're going to be like, oh right, yeah, here's what we've done.
01:39:55.000Because now they think they have a way to impress this young woman.
01:40:06.000We got all these jokes about Seamus and Ian and everything.
01:40:09.000You guys should really be more sensitive.
01:40:12.000Livin says, if the red wave comes, are the mechanisms for Republicans to overrule Biden's energy policy or Kamala if Biden is impeached first?
01:40:35.000And you know the famous thing about the senator, I don't want to, from Arizona, I don't want to disrespect him, but he voted down, put the thumbs down on the Senate.
01:41:36.000They're looking to do cash payments, right?
01:41:38.000And so if they put these policies out and the American public, who doesn't pay attention, thinks it's a good thing and they watch Republicans vote it down, then when it comes time for midterms, that gets a little dicey.
01:41:51.000It'll be funny when Joe Biden is like, we're gonna give every American $1,000 a month to pay for gas.
01:42:03.000And you know, they couldn't get a bill brought to the floor last week because they couldn't agree that they wanted more money for a pandemic.
01:43:18.000Due process would be amending the Constitution, not just arbitrarily passing laws that violate the Constitution.
01:43:23.000In which case, due process is, if you commit crimes, now we as a society can say you have violated some kind of, you know, committed a crime.
01:43:33.000That being said, Where is the line, right?
01:43:35.000So we talk about free speech and hate speech.
01:43:38.000If we say, okay, well, look, we all agree illegal speech is not free speech, right?
01:44:22.000Explain swatting for... Do you know what swatting is?
01:44:27.000This is when someone calls the local police and then says something wild and outrageous to trigger a swat response to your address.
01:44:35.000So while we were doing the show, it was the day, it was January 6th, it was the day after we had Marjorie Taylor Greene, she came here on the 5th.
01:44:41.000Someone called in and claimed they had killed someone.
01:44:44.000And so cops show up, you know, multiple jurisdictions were called, and they show up, surround the house, they have their, you know, their...
01:44:50.000You know you're on the right track, people.
01:44:51.000put your hands in the air and then the people outside have to put their hands up and then it's happened six times
01:44:56.000It's now involving two different states and then we had the bomb squad here just the other day
01:45:01.000So we're getting these, you know, you're on the right track people. You need to share this program. Yeah. Well, there
01:45:09.000If you don't have any enemies, you're doing something wrong.
01:45:11.000Well, I talked about this in a segment on my morning show as to why it's happening, and I think it's because we're a fairly moderate, you know, like, we're kind of middle of the road on a lot of issues.
01:45:20.000We're not, you know, overtly conservative.
01:45:23.000Ian, he was normally here, is kind of a weird...
01:45:26.000He likes graphene and hates the Federal Reserve.
01:45:48.000But I was thinking, maybe it's because they can't ban us and there's no way to, you know, they can go after Crowder with strikes and get him off the air.
01:45:55.000But for us, we have, you know, you, Randy, on the show.
01:45:58.000We have Marjorie Taylor Greene on the show.
01:47:13.000I think it sets the same time every evening.
01:47:16.000That's the weirdest thing to me, how it's like, we all need to agree as a society, we're changing our clocks at the same time, and I'm like, dude, I can just wake up early.
01:47:24.000That's your answer right there, you know what I'm saying?
01:47:26.000Well, to be fair, when I worked in the hospital, a lot of the nurses would complain that they would get up and go to work in the dark, and then they'd come home in the dark, and it was really frustrating.
01:47:34.000Well, actually, I think the bigger issue is just Daylight savings time seems irrelevant, and we should get rid of it.
01:47:41.000And if that's what the bill does, then we're getting rid of it, and I say good.
01:47:45.000You know they tried it before, though.
01:47:49.000And kids were still, like, walking to school every day and things like that, and there were an increase of children getting hurt and run over by cars and hit, and so they switched it back.
01:47:57.000Well, I think what they're saying now, though, is not to get rid of it, it's that we're gonna make it always, you know, we're gonna make it so it's daylight more by moving the clocks back or whatever so we all wake up early or something.
01:48:07.000That's what they were saying, but still, what they're trying to do is the same thing.
01:48:12.000What they want now is it to be like...
01:48:15.000light out later in the afternoon and they're saying now that kids are not
01:48:19.000walking to school like they used to that won't be an impediment.
01:48:22.000It's the stupidest thing ever have the kids come to school an hour early and leave an hour early.
01:48:25.000Either you go out in the dark or you come in in the dark.
01:48:28.000And so it's fairly simple. Have your kids come to school earlier that makes no
01:49:52.000Yeah, so I got a bunch of these, you know, lefty activists mad at me because I said, the Second Amendment protects your right to keep and bear nuclear arms and biological arms.
01:50:41.000So, they got mad at me and they were like, Tim Pool says that the Second Amendment grants people the right, and I'm like, they cut, they cut it, because I was, I said a whole paragraph actually, and they had to end the video as fast as possible, because I went on to say something to the effect of like, I'm not saying anyone should have these things, I'm saying we should amend the Constitution, and most people would probably agree, people should not have nuclear weapons and biological weapons.
01:51:07.000But I think, you know, one thing that the left really doesn't understand, especially with fully automatic weapons, is that when it comes to these mass shooting incidents and tragedies, as much as it might sound shocking, you would, if someone is going, first of all, we don't want any of these things ever to happen, right?
01:52:37.000How do you feel about him and his history in Washington?
01:52:39.000How do you relate to his limited government ideals?
01:52:42.000Well, I said I had his endorsement, and I told – I don't know how long you've been watching, but you need to watch this program frequently.
01:53:51.000We put up the Christmas tree and one day I came out and there was a picture of Ron Paul on top and he said I couldn't decide between a star or an angel so I chose both.
01:54:10.000So after the tree came down, we put it up again last Christmas.
01:54:14.000And then whenever the tree comes down, the picture, which is just printed off of a printer, is just stuck to the window because no one's going to throw it away.
01:54:21.000So now we have Rand Paul, I'm sorry, Ron Paul, at the door to our little workout area, our little gym.
01:54:46.000Jonathan M. Thomas says, let me guess.
01:54:48.000I bet this congressman is okay with Ukrainian refugees coming here, but was probably against Syrian and Afghan refugees coming here, and doesn't want Mexicans.
01:55:12.000Those who helped our country, those who stood by our side, whether they were interpreters or whatever they were, we owe them a debt of privilege, you know, sacrifice and thank for them.
01:55:21.000And they need to be able to come over here.
01:57:04.000And then when war broke out and they tried conscripting everybody, he was like, I need to get out of here because this country is falling apart.
01:57:10.000But the only place you could go was Turkey.
01:57:12.000He can't enter the EU or whatever, so... I think Romania is EU, right?
01:57:17.000But I was talking to the brother in Romania and he said, the strangest thing to me was that so many of the people from Syria tried coming to Germany, to France and to Europe instead of Lebanon, where they spoke the same language.
01:57:30.000And I heard a story about, this may have been when I was in France actually, not from one of the refugee brothers, that somebody who was from Syria, who spoke Arabic, Had the opportunity to go and work as a lawyer in Lebanon, but decided to go and just be in a refugee shelter in France instead, and they didn't understand why you would do that.
01:57:50.000And so this is one of the issues we face.
01:57:52.000Ukrainians deserve help, 100%, but why would we bring Ukrainians all the way out to the United States?
01:57:58.000There's so many countries in Europe that can make it up.
01:58:01.000I mean, Poland is doing fantastic work to help them.
01:58:20.000I feel like he, look, the West has become more and more influential and grown and Russia has been dwindling.
01:58:27.000And even you've got these young Russians who are on Instagram talking about how much they hate the war and their lives are being destroyed by it.
01:58:35.000And Putin is seeing that he's losing the culture war in Russia.
01:58:38.000And I don't know if you know this or not, but Texas's economy is so large that we have a larger economy than Russia.
01:59:35.000It seems like a technology that could be useful for energy production in the U.S.
01:59:39.000There actually is some discussion about fusion and thorium being on the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, but not so much right now as advanced nuclear reactors.
01:59:48.000Russia is outstripping us on nuclear reactors, and they're not our friend.
01:59:51.000There's a news flash that's come about in the last, what, two or three weeks or so.
01:59:56.000There is talk about it, but right now we're focused on the next round of what they call SMR, small modular reactors, and a different style of reactors that don't just melt down when something's wrong.
02:00:07.000They have molten salt in them, and there's all kinds of technical stuff I could tell you.
02:00:13.000Thorium has been discussed briefly, but not as much as nuclear reactors.
02:00:50.000It depends on what part of the country you're in and what the electricity cost is and how much the equipment cost is, the installation cost, and are there, quite frankly, any government subsidies.
02:01:56.000It's probably the nicest week of the year.
02:02:00.000Alright everybody, if you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show, as we've mentioned a million times now if you'd like to help out, and go to TimCast.com.
