Transcript

00:00:00.000 Florida Republicans have officially voted to strip Disney of their special governing
00:00:16.000 status and we saw today their stock dip by a little bit, but it's not about that little
00:00:21.000 It's about getting woke and going broke.
00:00:23.000 In the early, uh, in the first quarter of this year, they're down, I think, 15%.
00:00:27.000 Netflix is down 37%.
00:00:31.000 And I do attribute that to wokeness.
00:00:33.000 Now, of course, the media is trying to say they're losing subscribers.
00:00:36.000 That's why it's happening.
00:00:37.000 And it's all because of competition.
00:00:39.000 Yeah, but they've also lost conservatives, libertarians, anti-woke people.
00:00:43.000 And that adds up.
00:00:44.000 So they're down, I think, 200,000 subscribers.
00:00:47.000 They're blaming password sharing.
00:00:49.000 But I have to be honest, the people who are password sharing probably wouldn't buy Netflix.
00:00:54.000 They just be like, some might, I bet a lot won't.
00:00:57.000 We'll see if they can recover from this.
00:00:58.000 But we have a lot to go through as well, because we have this, we have Jen Psaki, who is now crying on a podcast about Florida's parental rights and education bill.
00:01:09.000 And then while that's happening, Interestingly, McDonald's has a former, I think it's the former, a former CEO who is trying to purge wokeness from the company.
00:01:17.000 Tesla, of course, is doing better than ever.
00:01:19.000 Their sales are skyrocketing.
00:01:21.000 And Elon Musk wants to buy Twitter.
00:01:23.000 All of that good, crazy stuff.
00:01:24.000 So we'll get into that.
00:01:24.000 Plus, we'll probably talk a little bit about that doxing story with Taylor Lorenz and dive into those stories.
00:01:30.000 Joining us today to talk about all of this stuff is Tom Fitton.
00:01:35.000 Thanks for having me, guys.
00:01:36.000 Do you want to introduce yourself?
00:01:36.000 And the lady.
00:01:39.000 I'm Tom Fitton.
00:01:40.000 I'm president of Judicial Watch, which is the number one government watchdog group in the country, if not the world, given the impact we have on figuring out what the corrupt politicians here or there in Washington, D.C.
00:01:54.000 and elsewhere are up to.
00:01:55.000 And we're confronting wherever we can and expose what's happening.
00:01:59.000 Right on.
00:01:59.000 We got Seamus.
00:02:00.000 Yeah, we're excited to have you back.
00:02:01.000 It was a great conversation last time.
00:02:03.000 And I'm Seamus Coghlan.
00:02:05.000 I am a cartoonist.
00:02:07.000 I am the creator of Freedom Tunes.
00:02:09.000 If you guys want to go check that out, we released a video yesterday on the Democratic Party's wonderful strategy of promoting grooming and or opposing anti-grooming laws.
00:02:17.000 And we're going to be releasing a cartoon tomorrow about the requirement for masks being removed by the government.
00:02:22.000 I don't want to spoil your show, but I want to tell people what you were just doing.
00:02:28.000 Oh my gosh.
00:02:29.000 I had to record some audio.
00:02:30.000 Perhaps we tell them tomorrow after it's released.
00:02:34.000 Like, I got the inside scoop.
00:02:36.000 On what just happened?
00:02:38.000 Because I don't want to spoil the joke.
00:02:40.000 Maybe tomorrow we can give a little sneak peek.
00:02:42.000 A little audio sneak peek if you know what I'm talking about.
00:02:45.000 I just looked up what's 420?
00:02:45.000 Happy 420 everybody.
00:02:46.000 Code term that refers to the consumption of cannabis.
00:02:49.000 I still don't know exactly why or where but I'm gonna look into it.
00:02:53.000 Great to see you.
00:02:54.000 And maybe we can talk about later in the show corruption and the value of corruption because I think in a system that's too ordered...
00:03:00.000 There's no room for growth, especially in an authoritarianly ordered system.
00:03:04.000 You need what they would consider corruption to break out of it.
00:03:08.000 But we'll go into that later.
00:03:09.000 Oh, man.
00:03:09.000 It depends on the definition of corruption, I suppose.
00:03:11.000 Yeah.
00:03:12.000 Yeah.
00:03:12.000 We will have to get into that for sure.
00:03:14.000 Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, for tuning in this evening.
00:03:16.000 I was going to say, 420 sounds like a police code, which would be interesting if people are being arrested for smoking marijuana.
00:03:22.000 Hopefully that's not the case in your state.
00:03:23.000 Isn't that a 311 or is that Chicago 311?
00:03:24.000 Oh, that's possible.
00:03:25.000 I don't know.
00:03:26.000 I don't know.
00:03:26.000 Yeah.

00:06:04.000 And let's read this first story from TimCast.com.
00:06:08.000 Breaking!
00:06:09.000 Florida Senate passes legislation ending Disney's tax privilege, self-governing power, and special exemption status.
00:06:17.000 So Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, is like, They could have, they could just build a nuclear power plant on their own, like, they're able to do certain things that nobody else is able to do, so I think they're right to be looking at this and re-evaluating it.
00:06:29.000 I want to say, the most important element of this story is that Disney decided to get woke.
00:06:35.000 They thought they could push all of us around and say, you know what, the activist employees are complaining about wokeness, let's just give them what they want.
00:06:44.000 Well, now they are seeing that You reap what you sow.
00:06:48.000 You want to come out, and you think that you can just adopt ideology.
00:06:54.000 Say you will be political.
00:06:55.000 Disney was outright like, we're gonna defeat this bill.
00:06:57.000 Florida said, okay, you want to get political?
00:07:00.000 We'll take away your special status.
00:07:02.000 Now we're seeing, as of today, their stock has dropped by 5.56%.
00:07:05.000 On top of that, their stock was already hurting this year.
00:07:10.000 It's good to see real economic consequences, right?
00:07:14.000 Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences, right, Disney?
00:07:17.000 I want to see more companies who want to act a fool and play dirty games see actual accountability.
00:07:24.000 My thoughts were, yes, you break up that big corporate, you know, monopoly.
00:07:29.000 Break it up.
00:07:30.000 That's why we have antitrust laws.
00:07:31.000 That's why we have a government in place is to protect us from these insidious things like corporate people, whatever.
00:07:36.000 But Tom, when you came in here, you made a great point that how far is this going to go?
00:07:40.000 How much authority should a government have to stop the private sector?
00:07:44.000 Well, you know, look, Disney is the leadership of Disney is abusing shareholder dollars by spending them improperly to target or promote talking about sexual activities with young schoolchildren.
00:08:00.000 And if you're a shareholder, you ought to be saying, why aren't you producing more and better product and increasing shareholder value?
00:08:09.000 Go ahead.
00:08:10.000 Just real quick.
00:08:11.000 I mean, on that point, should the shareholders sue for a violation of the company's fiduciary duty?
00:08:17.000 Well, I ain't no lawyer, but people have been sued for less, that's for sure, in terms of stock fights and things like that and shareholder lawsuits.
00:08:26.000 But secondly, though, you've got this special position that Disney has in Florida.
00:08:32.000 It's been around since 1967, and they're talking about taking away some governance that benefits Disney corporate-wise, and arguably the state.
00:08:41.000 And so the concern I have is, is this being considered for reasons that are neutrally applied, meaning it's a bad idea to provide corporations these special tax incentives and such, or is it a political payback?
00:08:59.000 And if it's the second one, the danger is that, look, the left almost always controls the leverage of power.
00:09:06.000 So if the new standard is that if corporations break free and, you know, start engaged in politics the way Disney has, either on the left or the right, is it going to be a free-for-all in terms of punishing corporations through government action?
00:09:20.000 Let's say in California they go after a defense contractor, or in New York they go after a gun manufacturer.
00:09:27.000 Uh, and, uh, well, in fact, that's actually what's happening.
00:09:30.000 They're already talking about doing that without any of this.
00:09:33.000 It's already happening.
00:09:34.000 And it's, and it's been consistently people who oppose the cult wokeness fringe ideology who have been getting attacked.
00:09:43.000 This is like the first time Republicans are like, okay, you know what?
00:09:47.000 We're not going to tolerate you getting into this.
00:09:49.000 And to be clear, I'm not saying I oppose what Florida did.
00:09:52.000 I'm just highlighting, well, let's be aware of what's happening out there in the culture and that corporations, when they engage in politics, there's going to be payback now and again.
00:10:05.000 And, you know, Florida is making a policy decision.
00:10:07.000 They got this major corporation that's decided to take the benefits they're getting from the public and target school children.
00:10:16.000 And so that's the reaction you're going to get from the elected representatives of the public.
00:10:21.000 Well, you're not going to use to sell you these special benefits anymore on behalf of an agenda that we didn't sign up for when we gave them to you to begin with.
00:10:29.000 I don't think it's as bad as you might be making it seem, whether it's intention or not.
00:10:34.000 This is Disney, who has no business in education policy, deciding to come out because a fringe faction of activists at their company complained.
00:10:44.000 They ignore the activists at the company who are like, we don't want to be involved in this.
00:10:48.000 If a gun company in New York said, we're going to lobby for gun rights, I'd be like, that makes sense.
00:10:55.000 If Disney said, we're going to lobby for entertainment rights and special privileges, I'd be like, okay, well, that makes sense.
00:11:02.000 If a gun manufacturer came out and said, we're going to start dumping money into getting religion put in schools, I'd be like, they shouldn't be doing that.
00:11:09.000 If they said, our mission is to defeat this, I'd be like, you're a gun company.
00:11:13.000 What are you doing?
00:11:14.000 Disney's doing exactly that.
00:11:16.000 They have no business.
00:11:17.000 They're doing it for PR reasons.
00:11:19.000 Well, if they want to be involved in politics as a political organization, they got to play by the rules, and this is what happened.
00:11:24.000 I'll tell you what, man.
00:11:25.000 Disney has been attempting to educate kids since the inception of the company.
00:11:29.000 They made cartoons for little kids, and they put subliminal ideas like... You see all sorts of crazy occult stuff in it, if you really look for it.
00:11:36.000 And there's tons of YouTube videos about it, conspiracy or whatever.
00:11:40.000 But that's the basic indoctrination of children is cartoons on TV.
00:11:43.000 And that's Disney's specialty.
00:11:45.000 So I'm not really even, I mean, Walt was a great man, but when he died, so, in my opinion, so did that company, man.
00:11:51.000 It's no longer, they should have to change the name or something, that's abusive.
00:11:54.000 We'll read through some of these Uber chats, but someone did mention just now, the buildings probably aren't up to code.
00:12:00.000 So if Disney, it's Disney World, I think, right?
00:12:03.000 Whatever.
00:12:03.000 Yeah, in Florida, yeah.
00:12:04.000 If they're under a special governing status, I'm willing to bet they do not conform to Florida building code, which means now that they lose this status, Yo, they're going to get shut down.
00:12:14.000 I mean, hey, you want to bring Disney to heel, this is how you do it.
00:12:19.000 And to Ian's point, I think it was Christopher Ruffo who disclosed these Zoom meetings with Disney producers and executives and creators talking about pushing their agenda, this radical sexual identity agenda, in the cartoons and in the content targeting children.
00:12:38.000 So for all the caution, let's be clear here.
00:12:42.000 Disney is engaged by their own admission in pushing propaganda on young children that parents would reject and taxpayers want no part of in Florida.
00:12:53.000 That's what's clear.
00:12:54.000 This wouldn't be happening if the politicians didn't think our voters don't, you know, want this.
00:13:00.000 And certainly Disney has their every right and they've got all the money in the world to persuade Yeah, so Disney is not a company that I happen to be a fan of, Ian.
00:13:15.000 I agree with a lot of what you said, and I agree with what you're saying now.
00:13:18.000 They essentially want to use their platform to push and normalize perverse sexual lifestyle choices onto children.
00:13:24.000 On top of that, they have sex abuse scandals.
00:13:27.000 We know that they have hired people who were convicted of child sex abuse in the past on the Disney Channel, specifically.
00:13:33.000 So, not a good company.
00:13:35.000 Yes.
00:13:36.000 Was that what it was?
00:13:36.000 iCarly?
00:13:37.000 Oh, there's talk about that, but I'm referring specifically to Brian Peck, who was convicted and then later, after he served, hired by Disney to consult over the phone because he wasn't allowed to actually be in the presence of children.
00:13:58.000 And then there was also, if you just look at these memes, every few months they arrest child traffickers at Disney.
00:14:05.000 Well, I mean, of course these people are going to want to work there, right?
00:14:08.000 They want to get access to kids, and Disney apparently doesn't do enough screening to stop them.
00:14:12.000 Or they're not paying attention to the trafficking that's occurring under their noses.
00:14:15.000 You know, we're all concerned about critical race theory in the schools, but at least there's like political accountability there in theory.
00:14:22.000 So everything you're concerned about in the schools is already happening on the Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and it's all targeted very young children.
00:14:31.000 The far left is taking control of children's programming, and it isn't just reading, writing, and arithmetic, teaching kids how to read.
00:14:38.000 It's social, cultural transformation Uh, on television and Disney's now being kind of forced to admit it, uh, because you know, they're, they're in the business of teaching their kids, teaching your kids values that are very different than the parents expect from the content.
00:14:56.000 And if I, well, I am a parent, but we don't, we don't watch those Disney shows anymore, but I would not allow any of this children's program to be seen by my children until I had seen it first.
00:15:08.000 Don't give your kids cell phones.
00:15:09.000 Yeah.
00:15:10.000 Homeschool your kids.
00:15:11.000 So I defer to the big tech CEOs, these executives who don't give their kids cell phones.
00:15:17.000 Why is it that the people who work at big social media companies are like, I'm not gonna let my kid have a phone?
00:15:22.000 Because they know what's on these websites.
00:15:23.000 Have you noticed this weird social psychosis of the last decade has really coincided with the proliferation of these devices too?
00:15:30.000 Absolutely.
00:15:31.000 So it's simple.
00:15:33.000 When someone's in a cult, To get them out of the cult, you have to separate them from cult members and deprogram them.
00:15:39.000 But with the existing woke cult, it's right there in the palm of their hands.
00:15:44.000 Every time someone says something, you know, hey, this isn't true, you need to get away from this, they retreat back to their fantasy world.
00:15:50.000 And the most vulnerable is the children.
00:15:52.000 That's the reality.
00:15:53.000 I'll tell you right now what's one of the most infuriating things, because I can't stand the media lying, is the Taylor Lorenz story where Washington Post, and I'll show a clarification for things I was saying yesterday and things I said today, because I want to make sure I get all the facts correct.
00:16:07.000 In the original Washington Post article that doxxed the creator of Libs of TikTok, they linked to a real estate license, which included a private home address, It was a commercial residential mixed property listed as a business address, but also according to public records, a private residential address for the creator of Libs of TikTok.
00:16:25.000 And they also explained, they didn't link to, they explained how to get their private phone number.
00:16:32.000 So they said, you know, the phone record is found here associated with this domain, which took me two seconds to just Google.
00:16:40.000 Three seconds to do a DNS lookup.
00:16:42.000 So I'm not, but I want to be careful with my language.
00:16:44.000 They didn't link to the number.
00:16:45.000 They just told you, gave you the instructions, the name you need to look for with the thing to find it.
00:16:50.000 And so this one's really frustrating because I'm seeing many prominent left-wing personalities just go, they never linked to any private details.
00:16:57.000 I'm seeing the Washington Post say, we never linked to private details.
00:17:00.000 And I'm like, yo, these people are in a cult.
00:17:01.000 Well, some of them are saying they never link to private details, and some of them are saying that it's good that they link to private details.
00:17:07.000 I'm seeing both takes.
00:17:08.000 Well, now the door's been opened on that one, and this guy responded to me, and he's like, Tim, your followers have been doing this for years!
00:17:17.000 And I'm like, I don't think you watch my show.
00:17:18.000 I don't think you know who our followers are.
00:17:21.000 We don't have that kind of audience.
00:17:23.000 You can't control your followers.
00:17:25.000 You can only give them advice and guidance, but everyone has to make their own choice.
00:17:29.000 We don't have followers who do that stuff.
00:17:31.000 I mean, I'm sure there's a couple people here and there watch the show, but we are not on these platforms where we're engaging in overt activism.
00:17:38.000 In fact, you know, I told the guy, I think doxing the name of lives of TikTok was wrong.
00:17:43.000 And he's like, you mean to tell me that if you got the name of some Antifa account, you wouldn't publish the name?
00:17:47.000 And I was like, yes, I would not.
00:17:49.000 How many times have you guys heard me say, I won't say their name?
00:17:52.000 I say it all the time.
00:17:53.000 It's one of the tenets of journalism.
00:17:53.000 Minimize harm.
00:17:54.000 I even sometimes refuse to say Cenk Uygur's name when the story is about the Young Turks.
00:17:58.000 It's true.
00:17:59.000 Because I'm trying to avoid drama and trying to talk about concepts and philosophy.
00:18:04.000 These people, they don't, I feel like their goal is specifically to keep people in the dark for political power.
00:18:10.000 They are evil.
00:18:11.000 When the Washington Post came out and said, we never did that, and you can pull up the archive and just see that they did, I'm like, these people are Downright evil.
00:18:19.000 So are they lying?
00:18:20.000 They put a link to this address.
00:18:22.000 Is that different than posting the address?
00:18:24.000 No, they said we did not link to it.
00:18:26.000 Outright lie.
00:18:28.000 I will assert as a statement of fact, the Washington Post linked to the private home address of the creator of Libs of TikTok.
00:18:36.000 It's as if they didn't think they were doing it, so then they said they didn't.
00:18:40.000 But they did.
00:18:41.000 No, they're just lying.
00:18:42.000 They're just lying because they're evil people.
00:18:43.000 Yeah, and even if they didn't know, that's almost worse.
00:18:46.000 And then they deleted it, so obviously they knew.
00:18:47.000 Yep.
00:18:48.000 They edited the page.
00:18:49.000 Good point.
00:18:50.000 You know, I think a lot of these media become, you know, they sometimes engage in journalism, but places like the Washington Post have just become left-wing advocacy groups that sometimes create journalism that's valuable.
00:19:03.000 You know, Judicial Watch, you know, we're a nonprofit.
00:19:06.000 We do lots of talking about policy.
00:19:09.000 We educate people.
00:19:10.000 We do journalism.
00:19:11.000 But, you know, it would be hard to argue that we weren't advocating for certain values.
00:19:16.000 And the Washington Post is more activist than any political group I know in the movements
00:19:23.000 of both the left or the right in terms of pushing forward narratives and agendas.
00:19:27.000 And in the case of Lorenz, or outing the author of the Libs of TikTok tweet feed, it's problematic, obviously,
00:19:40.000 that they exposed her.
00:19:42.000 But more importantly, they lied about the content.
00:19:46.000 And it was exposing her to attack and belittle the content and cut off access to it from the public.
00:19:54.000 Is Judicial Watch a 501c3 or a 501c4?
00:19:57.000 So we're a 501c3, which to those who don't follow the IRS code means we're a charity, meaning we can take tax-deductible contributions.
00:20:05.000 It also means you can't engage in overtly political activity.
00:20:09.000 Uh, it generally means that we can't endorse or oppose candidates.
00:20:13.000 And, you know, I can talk about politics, but I can't, you know, say vote for Republicans or Democrats.
00:20:18.000 Can you say who you're gonna vote for?
00:20:20.000 I could in my personal capacity, but I choose not to generally because of the nature of our work, because we end up suing everyone.
00:20:28.000 I want to give Taylor the benefit of the doubt really quick, because it's possible that when she wrote this article, she thought she was linking to the business address, and then it went up, and then they were like, we didn't, we didn't.
00:20:38.000 And then when they realized they did, they pulled it down.
00:20:40.000 No, she's still denying it.
00:20:41.000 And so now we're awaiting them to be like, actually, we accidentally, we did.
00:20:44.000 That is the benefit of the doubt, at least.
00:20:45.000 Ian, you can't.
00:20:46.000 She outright denied it to me personally.
00:20:48.000 But it doesn't matter what she said, they did it.
00:20:50.000 I know, they did.
00:20:51.000 She outright denied it to me personally.
00:20:53.000 I did not publish the home address.
00:20:55.000 Then the Washington Post said we didn't link to private information.
00:20:58.000 They are just lying on top of lies because they are not good people.
00:21:02.000 Don't give them the benefit of the doubt when they're lying like overtly and I'm just I'm flabbergasted by the it's like imagine being it's that family guy joke.
00:21:10.000 Imagine being in an elevator.
00:21:12.000 With one other person who just lets out a big fart, looks at you and says, you did it.
00:21:16.000 Gaslighting.
00:21:17.000 I'm like, what?
00:21:18.000 I'm like, dude, I watched you do it.
00:21:19.000 What are you lying to me about?
00:21:20.000 Only benefit of the doubt in that I want to understand why it happened and never attribute to malice what could have been attributed to stupidity.
00:21:26.000 It's a thing I've heard in the past, so maybe.
00:21:28.000 Handling's raising.
00:21:29.000 It doesn't mean they're not guilty.
00:21:31.000 My view on the Post now is if a Post reporter called me up to find out where a court hearing is, I'd say, oh yeah, it's here.
00:21:37.000 What's the case about?
00:21:38.000 It's about this.
00:21:39.000 But if they're calling me up to talk about conservatives and what's our view on topic A and B, I say I'm not talking to you.
00:21:48.000 I mean you're left-wing dishonest advocates and I'm not going to waste my breath talking and explaining our views to you so you can attack whoever it is you're trying to attack, usually people who are aligned with our values.
00:22:02.000 And I'm not playing their game.
00:22:04.000 I want to make sure everybody understands this.
00:22:05.000 There is no way you can talk to a journalist.
00:22:09.000 You are not smarter than them.
00:22:11.000 They have a plan.
00:22:12.000 They know what they're doing.
00:22:13.000 You will not go on The Daily Show.
00:22:15.000 You will not go on Jim Jefferies.
00:22:16.000 You will not go on John Oliver.
00:22:17.000 You think you're smart.
00:22:19.000 You think if I explain my positions, I'll tell you some of the tricks they do.
00:22:22.000 First of all, when it comes to these comedy news shows, they'll just manipulate what you said.
00:22:26.000 Because they're allowed to do it because it's a comedy show.
00:22:26.000 Yes.
00:22:28.000 Easy.
00:22:29.000 You tell a journalist something explicitly like, I reject and refuse, I completely reject racism, it is completely wrong, and I oppose these racist organizations.
00:22:43.000 Instead of quoting you, if they want to get a narrative, they will say, when asked about their racist ties, they became belligerent.
00:22:51.000 Right.
00:22:52.000 And you'll be like, but I told them I- They don't have to put that in there.
00:22:55.000 They can just say, they became outraged and belligerent.
00:22:58.000 I believe it was because they were truly racist, and they won't tell the world what you said.
00:23:01.000 I had a guy hit me up from the Daily Beast, and I gave him quotes.
00:23:04.000 He cut out any quote that made me look good, and then, here's another trick they do.
00:23:09.000 You think you can give them a good quote, just one solid quote, they might still use it.
00:23:14.000 With ellipses.
00:23:15.000 You'll say something like, That man who came out and said, pizza is disgusting, that man was wrong.
00:23:21.000 And they'll put, dot, dot, quote, dot, dot, dot, pizza is disgusting, dot, dot, dot, quote.
00:23:26.000 And they'll say, he literally said those words.
00:23:28.000 And when you were like, I was quoting someone else, they'll be like, you can't sue him over it.
00:23:32.000 It's a statement of fact that said you said it.
00:23:35.000 And you can be like, yeah, but I wasn't referring to that way, but you did it.
00:23:38.000 It's the story I want to mention about this reporter from the Boston Globe who wrote that Baste Stickman, this is back during the Battle of Berkeley several years ago, was a white nationalist.
00:23:50.000 And I messaged him and I was like, I saw you wrote that.
00:23:52.000 And like, this guy's got a, his wife's like, you know, Asian mixed race.
00:23:56.000 He's got a mixed race kid.
00:23:57.000 It's like, I think you're wrong.
00:23:58.000 And he goes, is the guy white?
00:24:00.000 I said, yes.
00:24:01.000 Is he a nationalist?
00:24:03.000 He's a white nationalist.
00:24:03.000 Yes.
00:24:04.000 And I was like, wow, dude, you cannot, you cannot talk to these people.
00:24:10.000 And so we see this all the time happen.
00:24:10.000 Right.
00:24:13.000 Jordan Klepper, I think his name is.
00:24:15.000 He shows up to these rallies and these people think they can talk to him and then what he does is he cuts it all up and makes them look insane and then he puts it on TV.
00:24:23.000 And who's he with?
00:24:25.000 I don't know if he's still doing it.
00:24:25.000 It's Comedy Central.
00:24:27.000 Maybe he's on The Daily Show now or whatever.
00:24:28.000 But they all do it.
00:24:29.000 Another problem with these shows with live audiences is unless the host is willing to tell the audience to shut up when they start booing and heckling, the audience will shout you down when you're making a good point.
00:24:39.000 And then the host will be like, hmm, if they have an agenda.
00:24:42.000 So you need an ethical host to keep everything ordered.
00:24:45.000 Not Jon Stewart.
00:24:46.000 That dude's ratings are in the gutter.
00:24:48.000 Yeah, I mean, I used to do politically incorrect back in the day, back when Mar was on ABC.
00:24:52.000 And, you know, I'd be the lone conservative, typically, and getting booed all the time for the entire half hour.
00:24:59.000 And, you know, it's not fun.
00:25:01.000 But, you know, at least you get to say your piece because it's hard to edit what you're saying.
00:25:06.000 Those are better.
00:25:06.000 Right.
00:25:07.000 But I agree with you.
00:25:08.000 You know, generally talking to the media is a bad idea.
00:25:12.000 I used to talk to reporters at the Daily Beast and I stopped talking to them because I give them a quote, and the headline would be, Conservatives Get Hysterical About X. I'm not giving you material to attack America with.
00:25:28.000 I'm not doing it anymore.
00:25:29.000 And it's tricky because Judicial Watch, our goal is to educate people, so I want the word out everywhere.
00:25:36.000 But, you know, when it comes to the media, it's been so corrupted, we can't play their game anymore.
00:25:43.000 And even there are many prominent YouTube personalities, independent personalities who are progressive or liberal, and it's remarkable how either they are completely incompetent or are just outright lying.
00:25:57.000 And I'm confused by this, but I don't give these people the benefit of the doubt anymore.
00:26:02.000 Because there's a few people that I've actually DM'd with.
00:26:05.000 And I'm like, here's the public record, here's the link to the story, here's a screen grab showing where you can click it to get the address.
00:26:13.000 We don't need to argue whether it was Libs of TikTok's private home address.
00:26:17.000 Regardless, it was a private contact address for the individual.
00:26:21.000 No, it wasn't.
00:26:22.000 And I'm like, you know what?
00:26:23.000 There's no point talking to tribalists.
00:26:25.000 No, I think making your own YouTube videos or internet videos is really the way to go.
00:26:29.000 They can attempt to take it out of context and they can unethically sometimes kind of, but you get your point across that way.
00:26:34.000 Let's talk about, uh, we got this story from the New York Post.
00:26:36.000 Jen Psaki breaks down while discussing harsh and cruel, cruel LGBTQ legislation.
00:26:43.000 Wow, sounds mean.
00:26:44.000 Sounds like there's some mean laws.
00:26:45.000 Here we go.
00:26:46.000 White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki began sobbing during an interview this week as she talked about a spate of bills that critics say are targeting gay and transgender children, claiming that kids are being used as weapons in a political culture war.
00:26:58.000 Saki was asked during the interview with News Not Noise podcast about legislation like Florida's so-called don't say gay bill which prohibits the discussion of sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through third grade as well as instruction on those topics and in a place and manner that's not age-appropriate.
00:27:15.000 Quote, this is a political wedge issue and an attempt to win a culture war, Psaki said as she began audibly weeping.
00:27:22.000 And they're doing that in a way that is harsh and cruel to a community of kids.
00:27:26.000 I'm going to get emotional about this issue because it's horrible, but it's like kids who are bullied and all these leaders are taking steps to hurt them and hurt their lives and hurt their families.
00:27:35.000 And you look at some of these laws in these states and it's going after parents who are in loving relationships who have kids.
00:27:41.000 It's completely outrageous.
00:27:42.000 Sorry, this is an issue that makes me completely crazy.
00:27:45.000 Jen Psaki is a sociopath.
00:27:47.000 I don't want completely crazy people in government.
00:27:50.000 She admitted it.
00:27:52.000 So first of all, the New York Post should not be calling it LGBTQ legislation.
00:27:56.000 New York Post, Mark Moore, you should correct this because the parental rights in education has more to do with parents having access to information about the schools And gender identity and orientation is also about being straight.
00:28:11.000 It's just orientation, which could be straight or not.
00:28:14.000 In which case, it is just legislation on sex ed.
00:28:17.000 And it's not even that.
00:28:17.000 It's the Parental Rights and Education Bill.
00:28:19.000 So get that right.
00:28:20.000 Jen Psaki knows this.
00:28:22.000 Look, we are well past the point where I'm going to assume Jen Psaki doesn't know what this bill is.
00:28:30.000 She's crying crocodile tears to manipulate people.
00:28:33.000 Because liberals are people who, according to Jonathan Haidt's research, are more interested in care and fairness, more emotional aspects, as opposed to sanctity, purity, authority, loyalty, etc.
00:28:44.000 Liberty.
00:28:45.000 So, when you approach a conservative, and they have six moral foundations, there is authority, authority and loyalty, there is sanctity, purity, things like that, and you say, dryly, and as matter-of-factly, they're gonna say, okay, The left needs to win by making you cry.
00:29:02.000 By crying and begging for care.
00:29:05.000 Begging for sympathy.
00:29:06.000 So when Jen starts crying, she wants people to go, oh Jen, oh, it's so, it's so, aww.
00:29:12.000 Well, it's so embarrassing.
00:29:14.000 I mean, I remember after... No, but it works!
00:29:15.000 It works with some people.
00:29:17.000 One thing that I saw after the 2016 election that really struck me was the fact that they were posting pictures of themselves crying.
00:29:24.000 And I thought, how can you have such little dignity that you think that's a good look?
00:29:30.000 I would be mortified.
00:29:31.000 First of all, if I cried over an election and I was sitting there bawling my eyes out, you can believe I wouldn't be posting pictures of it on the internet the next day as if that was a good look for me.
00:29:40.000 As we're talking about it, I'm thinking Hitler's girlfriend probably cried when he killed himself.
00:29:43.000 Like, yeah, crying emotional doesn't mean you're right.
00:29:46.000 People get emotional about evil if they're on the side of evil.
00:29:50.000 So this girl's totally lost it.
00:29:52.000 I've watched murderers cry in videos like they're in a criminal trial and they're crying.
00:29:56.000 I think Psaki's outsized role in the White House is something worth discussing beyond the points that you're making about her misleading and false statements.
00:30:07.000 It's almost as if she's presidential.
00:30:10.000 They issued a statement from Jen Psaki on, I don't know, something had passed just last week or something that they objected to.
00:30:19.000 And it was a statement as if the President had issued it.
00:30:21.000 It was a statement by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.
00:30:25.000 And I remember thinking, well, this is odd.
00:30:27.000 It sounds presidential.
00:30:30.000 And to me, her outsized role in this administration is further indication of the diminished Oh, yeah.
00:30:38.000 of the President of the United States.
00:30:38.000 Come on, man!
00:30:40.000 It's clear.
00:30:41.000 Come on, man.
00:30:42.000 She is running.
00:30:43.000 Yeah, come on, boy.
00:30:44.000 She is running the show and certainly beyond any normal press secretary.
00:30:51.000 Donald Trump was funny.
00:30:54.000 Donald Trump was funny and he talked in a funny way.
00:30:56.000 You know what I absolutely love about Trump is this bit where he will say something outrageous, and then when the press challenges him, he'll be like, well, that's what I was told.
00:31:06.000 Like, if that absolves him of being wrong.
00:31:11.000 I laugh at that.
00:31:12.000 I'm critical of it.
00:31:13.000 Donald Trump will be like, you know, we've got this new medication coming out and they're like, sir, you know, question, Mr. President, that is not correct.
00:31:20.000 You're talking about an old report that's since been debunked.
00:31:22.000 I was told this just a moment ago.
00:31:24.000 That's what I was told.
00:31:25.000 And it's funny because that's like his defense.
00:31:28.000 Joe Biden is different.
00:31:30.000 That's Donald Trump's cognitive faculties trying to muster up something.
00:31:35.000 He can't just come out and be like, okay, well, I was wrong about that because he's Trump.
00:31:38.000 But at least he said something we understand.
00:31:41.000 Well, they told me that, and that's why I'm saying it.
00:31:43.000 Joe Biden He says, America can be described in one word.
00:31:49.000 And I was like, what word was that?
00:31:54.000 And then you've got Nexonil Resin, Batacaf Care, Trinidad Shabba Da Pressure.
00:31:59.000 The dude's not even speaking words!
00:32:00.000 I think you missed his point.
00:32:01.000 He was saying this country is indescribable.
00:32:03.000 It's the feeling.
00:32:05.000 It gives him... It's just the emotions coming out of his mouth.
00:32:07.000 It's so overwhelming, he can't speak.
00:32:09.000 You know what would be funny?
00:32:10.000 Like, on the teleprompter, it actually said that.
00:32:13.000 And it's like, when everybody makes fun of him, he gets sad because he thought he made up a great new word.
00:32:18.000 Well, does that not sound like a Snopes line?
00:32:19.000 Dude, Webster's gonna start adding this stuff to the dictionary.
00:32:21.000 He's like a rock musician from the early 90s.
00:32:23.000 You know, on a sidebar Judicial Watch issue, we had caught Sacky lying about Biden's dog bites.
00:32:29.000 You know, Major was running around, and he wasn't just nipping at people because he was startled.
00:32:36.000 He was shooting across the driveway to attack people, shooting across 10 feet of room to go after agents and biting the heck out of them.
00:32:44.000 Didn't he hurt Biden himself?
00:32:46.000 Well, Biden supposedly fell, taken care of.
00:32:50.000 Joe Biden was bathing, was showering with his dog in the room.
00:32:56.000 So Joe Biden says he broke foot tripping after shower when he pulled his dog's tail.
00:33:04.000 Why was the dog in the bathroom?
00:33:08.000 It's a German Shepherd.
00:33:09.000 They are protected.
00:33:10.000 They're going to be there.
00:33:11.000 He says in the story, to be fair, all right, to be fair, we got the description originally from Joe Biden.
00:33:17.000 It's not like Jen Sack.
00:33:18.000 It's not like Jen Sack.
00:33:19.000 Like the president saw his dog and tried to grab its tail after a shower.
00:33:19.000 It was out there.
00:33:23.000 Like Joe Biden was like, hi, so I'm a dog, man.
00:33:26.000 I grabbed his tail, little rascal.
00:33:28.000 It's like, it's one of the funniest things.
00:33:30.000 It's hysterical.
00:33:32.000 It's very much like a Biden quote.
00:33:34.000 No, you guys should, you guys should look it up and listen.
00:33:36.000 It's actually hysterical.
00:33:37.000 It's like one of my, it's one of the funniest things.
00:33:38.000 Yeah.
00:33:39.000 I'm looking forward to this.
00:33:39.000 Love it.
00:33:41.000 I'm surprised they didn't, man.
00:33:42.000 that Joe Biden has said recently.
00:33:44.000 Love it.
00:33:45.000 You know, but Saki gets out there and she says, hey, you know, it was a minor dog bite
00:33:49.000 and the secret, you know, we just got the email.
00:33:51.000 Secret service agents were furious.
00:33:53.000 They're, you know, look, they're lucky they didn't have to put the dog down.
00:33:56.000 It was that crazy.
00:33:57.000 I'm surprised they didn't.
00:33:58.000 Let me read this.
00:33:59.000 He says, quote, What happened was I got out of the shower.
00:34:01.000 Actually, can you see that, Seamus?
00:34:03.000 Yeah.
00:34:04.000 Can you can you Joe Biden that for us?
00:34:05.000 Come on, man.
00:34:06.000 Yeah.
00:34:07.000 What happened was I got out of the shower.
00:34:09.000 I got I got a dog and he was been around my house.
00:34:12.000 Who knows?
00:34:13.000 Drop.
00:34:14.000 Little pup dropped a ball in front of me and for me to grab the ball.
00:34:20.000 Biden told CNN journalist Jake Tapper in the first post-election interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.
00:34:26.000 And I'm walking through this little alleyway to get to the bedroom.
00:34:30.000 And I grabbed the ball like this and he ran.
00:34:33.000 And I'm joking, running after him and grab his tail.
00:34:36.000 And what happens is that he slid on a throw rug.
00:34:39.000 And I tripped on the rug he slid on.
00:34:42.000 That's what happened.
00:34:43.000 Oh man, not a very exciting story.
00:34:45.000 He said he was running down an alleyway.
00:34:47.000 So yeah, I don't always he says he got I maybe I should animate this one We animated you should animate that story because we animated the corn pop story and helped a lot of people understand it better We just used his narration.
00:34:58.000 But yeah, he's basically saying he got out of the Got out of the shower his dog had a boss.
00:35:03.000 He started I just want you to imagine this right?
00:35:07.000 So let's be fair.
00:35:09.000 The dog must not have been in the bathroom.
00:35:11.000 Because it doesn't say that.
00:35:13.000 So Joe Biden, is he wearing a towel?
00:35:15.000 Or did he get out of the shower?
00:35:16.000 I was picturing him with a towel on.
00:35:17.000 I hope he had a towel on.
00:35:19.000 Originally I thought he climbed out of the shower naked.
00:35:23.000 He probably slipped in the shower and broke his foot.
00:35:25.000 And now he's created this stupid story.
00:35:27.000 And he's like, and what happened was, which is a sign of a liar when they buy time, you know, when they're in the middle of a conversation.
00:35:31.000 Longtime journalist Ron Kessler reported that the Secret Service complained about Biden's swimming habits as being wildly inappropriate.
00:35:40.000 In the buff.
00:35:41.000 Yeah.
00:35:42.000 Wait, what?
00:35:43.000 Gross.
00:35:44.000 Really?
00:35:45.000 It's in the book.
00:35:46.000 You can do a lot with that one, Seamus.
00:35:47.000 I know, that could be an interesting cartoon.
00:35:49.000 I'm sure you can find the audio of him telling the story.
00:35:51.000 I remember looking for it a while ago, because I had the same idea.
00:35:55.000 This story was pointed out to me, and I couldn't believe that I missed it when it happened.
00:35:58.000 So I was searching for the audio clip.
00:35:59.000 I think I had trouble finding it.
00:36:01.000 It might have just been something he said to a reporter that was quoted in the press and wasn't actually filmed.
00:36:07.000 The reason I think he's- If y'all can find it, send it to me.
00:36:09.000 I think he's lying about the story is because if he's going to tell a story about how he's chasing his dog down the hallway and pulled his tail and broke his foot, why would he bring up the shower part of it?
00:36:17.000 It was completely irrelevant to the story.
00:36:18.000 So obviously it was part of the story.
00:36:21.000 The bigger the story, the bigger the lie.
00:36:23.000 That's, that's the old saying.
00:36:24.000 So typically among kids, when they're lying, they try to, they try to explain every possible thing.
00:36:30.000 When in reality, you know, it's like, how did you break your foot?
00:36:32.000 Eh, I was playing with the dog I fell.
00:36:34.000 Yeah, that's it. I had fell playing with Doug but the reality
00:36:37.000 In the shower. I mean, that's that's my guess I mean, I don't know whether he's lying or because honestly,
00:36:44.000 I 1,000,000% believe that this is something he would do. Do
00:36:47.000 you guys not think that Joe Biden would like chase his dog?
00:36:49.000 You want to know what my favorite thing about the story was the conspiracy theorists who kept telling everybody went
00:36:57.000 when was this?
00:36:57.000 This was a December 3rd 2020 the conspiracy theorists who are who kept pushing, you know
00:37:03.000 the election stuff, said that he didn't really break his foot.
00:37:07.000 He's hiding the ankle bracelet.
00:37:09.000 Yeah, no joke.
00:37:09.000 What?
00:37:10.000 So that's what they were saying.
00:37:12.000 And my favorite was when they started believing that Joe Biden flipped and was now helping Trump.
00:37:16.000 And he was like, it's just like people look at a photo of Biden with a hurt foot and that's what they think.
00:37:21.000 And I'm like, dude, he's an old man and fell.
00:37:23.000 Yeah.
00:37:23.000 The reason I question is because like you saw what they do with FDR when he was getting polio is like basically making him paralyzed.
00:37:28.000 They hid that from people for like years, I believe.
00:37:31.000 I'm not sure exactly how long.
00:37:32.000 But they didn't want people to know the president wasn't doing well.
00:37:34.000 They'll hide that.
00:37:35.000 There is no plan.
00:37:36.000 I keep on saying there is no plan.
00:37:38.000 Yeah, there's really not.
00:37:39.000 Scary and sad.
00:37:40.000 Let's talk about that wokeness stuff, though.
00:37:42.000 So, we got this from CNN Business.
00:37:44.000 Netflix's world has been turned upside down as stock plunges 35%.
00:37:48.000 I think it's actually at 37%.
00:37:52.000 Now we got this story from CNN Business.
00:37:53.000 The magic is gone for Disney investors.
00:37:56.000 This is from April 19th, just yesterday.
00:37:59.000 And they say that Netflix has plunged more than 40% and Disney is down 15%.
00:38:03.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I would just like to say...
00:38:09.000 Well, that's happening at Netflix.
00:38:11.000 They gave as much.
00:38:12.000 I don't know what the actual deal was.
00:38:14.000 I've seen 12.
00:38:15.000 I've seen $50 million to the Obama's production operation.
00:38:19.000 I had Netflix on the other day and who was pushed at me?
00:38:23.000 Barack Obama.
00:38:25.000 putting out some globalist nice nonsense about parks and conservation and all of that and you know i guess i'm not allowed to say anything against national parks but the point is it was propaganda they're paying off a left-wing politician who uh frankly brings nothing in terms of creativity other than political activism And so Netflix is focused on, as you've highlighted, both in the fiction and non-fiction categories, propaganda.
00:38:56.000 And people are turning it off.
00:38:57.000 And there are all sorts of other reasons for it.
00:38:59.000 But if you're going—and the biggest reason, in my view, and I say this only half-jokingly, is that half the movies aren't American.
00:39:06.000 So you go on, oh, this movie looks good.
00:39:08.000 Turns out it's in a foreign language.
00:39:11.000 in an accent that's hard to follow because of the subtitles and you don't want to watch it so it's garbage it's leftist and it's not as the quality they're supposed to be what's with this weird overlap between the left and sexually inappropriate content for children or about children You know, that's curious because it's funny.
00:39:29.000 When people come out and they're like, hey, we don't want teachers talking to kids about these adult matters.
00:39:34.000 It's the left, specifically, that freaks out and says, we're being attacked by the right.
00:39:38.000 And I'm like, 60% of Democrats agree with these bills in Florida and these other states that kids should not be taught this stuff.
00:39:44.000 But you've got Big Mouth, is that the show's name?
00:39:48.000 Yeah.
00:39:49.000 Was just renewed for season seven.
00:39:50.000 You know what that show is?
00:39:52.000 It is voiced by adults, but it is about children going through puberty and engaging in overt adult activities.
00:39:58.000 Apparently for seven years they're going through puberty, I guess.
00:40:00.000 Are they still in puberty?
00:40:01.000 Seven years, man.
00:40:02.000 They're just living really slow.
00:40:04.000 Yo, and people who have not seen the show, like I've mentioned this before, I think it's a messed up show.
00:40:10.000 It is disgusting.
00:40:11.000 I mean, have you watched it?
00:40:12.000 I saw a couple, I saw like half an episode at my friend's house.
00:40:14.000 You turned it off?
00:40:15.000 Yeah, I walked out of the room, I couldn't.
00:40:16.000 It's just so disgusting.
00:40:18.000 They're 12, they're like 11 and 12 and they're talking about having sex.
00:40:20.000 No, no, no, they're not talking about it.
00:40:22.000 It's so gross, dude.
00:40:23.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's like a scene where the kid goes into a stall and they show it and I'm like, what?
00:40:30.000 How is this?
00:40:31.000 Look, South Park did, you know, similar lewd and crude jokes and those are, I'm just like, oh man.
00:40:37.000 I'm not even saying it's gross spectacly, it's gross psychologically.
00:40:42.000 It's I couldn't let myself even hear it because it was twisting cuties.
00:40:46.000 Gross.
00:40:47.000 Yep.
00:40:47.000 Now, so that's why I don't have Netflix.
00:40:49.000 I'm like, yeah, absolutely not.
00:40:50.000 No, there's absolutely no way I'll ever have not Netflix subscription.
00:40:54.000 Um, I think part of it is that obviously, you know, there are creepy people all over the world and in all parties, but if you're a creepy person who wants to normalize your disgusting sexual perversions, the democratic party has made it perfectly clear that they are a safe bet for you.
00:41:07.000 And that's why it's radical on the left.
00:41:09.000 They don't have the moral foundation of purity.
00:41:12.000 Yeah, that's one of the reasons, yeah.
00:41:14.000 For those that aren't familiar with the moral foundations, man, I always try to get them off the top of my head.
00:41:17.000 There's care, fairness, loyalty, purity, liberty, and... There's one more we can never remember.
00:41:25.000 Is it authority?
00:41:26.000 Or is authority and loyalty the same thing?
00:41:28.000 What's it called again?
00:41:28.000 I'm gonna look it up.
00:41:29.000 The Moral Foundations.
00:41:31.000 Jonathan Haidt.
00:41:33.000 H-A-I-D-T.
00:41:34.000 So, liberals, they have this Moral Foundations test you can take.
00:41:38.000 It asks you questions.
00:41:39.000 Some of these questions are really disturbing.
00:41:42.000 And it asks you, like, to what degree are you okay with this thing?
00:41:45.000 Right.
00:41:45.000 And it'll be like, there's one where it says, a daughter takes her father's old, you know, war flag and uses it as a rag to mop the floor or whatever.
00:41:55.000 Are you okay with this?
00:41:56.000 And so, you know, these are the kinds of questions.
00:41:59.000 It was authority is the sixth.
00:42:00.000 Yeah.
00:42:00.000 It was authority.
00:42:01.000 So it's liberty, sanctity, which I believe is the purity.
00:42:03.000 Yeah.
00:42:04.000 Loyalty, fairness, care and authority.
00:42:06.000 Yes.
00:42:07.000 And you said that's five.
00:42:08.000 Liberty was added.
00:42:09.000 Liberty.
00:42:09.000 Liberty.
00:42:10.000 Yeah.
00:42:10.000 Yeah.
00:42:10.000 That was the sixth one.
00:42:11.000 Yeah.
00:42:12.000 Libertarians only have liberty.
00:42:13.000 This is amazing.
00:42:14.000 They don't care about anything other than let me do what I want.
00:42:16.000 Be free.
00:42:17.000 Liberals only have care and fairness.
00:42:19.000 So if you're saying something like children must be protected, the sanctity of children and purity, innocence, etc.
00:42:27.000 Well, you're probably not going to be a liberal because they don't have that in their minds.
00:42:30.000 They don't understand this as a moral foundation.
00:42:33.000 They're hard.
00:42:33.000 So when you look at the Morrill Foundation's test, there are some questions that are like
00:42:37.000 outright disturbing.
00:42:38.000 They're hard.
00:42:39.000 About like teachers and kids.
00:42:40.000 I don't, I mean, I don't know if I would say it's hard.
00:42:42.000 You say it's, is that okay or not?
00:42:44.000 But some of it's like, you know, an uncle, I didn't want to say this.
00:42:47.000 I can't even say these things.
00:42:49.000 Yeah.
00:42:50.000 But it's remarkable what someone would have to say is okay in order to actually get listed
00:42:55.000 Because I get listed as like, you know, libertarian, left-leaning or something like that in these tests.
00:43:01.000 But I have a balance of, you know, I have care and fairness is relatively high, and that kind of goes down.
00:43:05.000 I'm like, that kind of makes sense, like, because I'm kind of in the middle.
00:43:08.000 But you look at how liberals rank, and I'm like, what question did they say they were okay with?
00:43:13.000 Because that's kind of weird, because they don't care about it.
00:43:16.000 Well, I've said this before, leftism is essentially a synonym for social decay.
00:43:20.000 It's the word that we use to describe it.
00:43:22.000 And when you think about values like care and fairness, those are the easiest to make subjective.
00:43:27.000 So there's no, I mean, that's not fair, or I care about this person.
00:43:30.000 What does that really mean at bottom?
00:43:33.000 I disagree a little bit.
00:43:34.000 I think a healthy society has a left and a right wing, and the left is kind of experimental in a sense where it is a bit chaotic, and you could describe it in an extreme sense as decay, but the right is supposed to keep things in check.
00:43:47.000 So the left can be like, hey, we want to try this, we want to try that, and the right says no, no, no, okay, marijuana legalization is tolerable.
00:43:54.000 You know what I mean?
00:43:55.000 Yeah, so where I disagree is that the foundation of the left and where we get these terms is actually from the French Revolution and what the left was doing was beheading people, murdering them, trying to like fundamentally restructure the society in extremely disastrous ways.
00:44:10.000 So I agree that there are people in society who the left would argue they identify with or have a monopoly over when you're talking about creative people or folks who might be willing to challenge the status quo in some way, but that's not what leftism is.
00:44:24.000 That's a good point.
00:44:24.000 Robespierre, man.
00:44:25.000 You made a good point.
00:44:26.000 There are guys down at Occupy Wall Street who, there's like one dude who said that it was his dream to be Robespierre.
00:44:31.000 And I'm like, you know he died, right?
00:44:32.000 He got his jaw blown off and they laid him on a table for two days to die.
00:44:35.000 They love it, man.
00:44:37.000 They love the idea.
00:44:38.000 I go back to the library cop on Seinfeld.
00:44:40.000 I may be dating myself, but remember he goes, you know, what's with you, Seinfeld?
00:44:43.000 You want those pictures and kids to open the book up?
00:44:46.000 Is that what gets you going, Seinfeld?
00:44:48.000 And I think that's what gets too many of the left going.
00:44:51.000 In terms of discussions of sexual activity with children.
00:44:54.000 And just like that, I don't believe in slippery slopes.
00:44:56.000 We fall off cliffs morally.
00:44:59.000 And just like that, this past two weeks, it's now a tenet of a major political party in this country to promote sex talk with young children.
00:45:10.000 In secret.
00:45:10.000 In schools.
00:45:12.000 And to me that's not left-right.
00:45:15.000 This is a radical Marxist agenda.
00:45:18.000 They want to tear us away from any competitor to their revolution.
00:45:23.000 Tear us away from religion, from family, from private entities, business.
00:45:30.000 And your biology and sexuality is traditionally understood and they want to tear that away and put all of that into a mix that they will impose when convenient.
00:45:42.000 They'll tell you what you're going to be and because you have to rely on them because it's you're just a cog in the revolution.
00:45:49.000 And anything that gets in the way of that, any tradition or even biology, they want to destroy.
00:45:56.000 These are dangerous revolutionary times.
00:45:59.000 Using the word Robespierre, that figure, it's not inappropriate.
00:46:05.000 Yeah, well, I'll take it even further and be more clear about it.
00:46:09.000 It's not just that they want to have these conversations about sex with children.
00:46:13.000 That would be bad enough.
00:46:14.000 That would be a problem in and of itself.
00:46:16.000 But they want to normalize perverted sexual behaviors to children.
00:46:20.000 In secret.
00:46:21.000 In secret.
00:46:25.000 I actually think schools should teach religion.
00:46:27.000 I think there should be like religious studies.
00:46:30.000 That's not to say they should tell kids, you should be this religion.
00:46:33.000 They should just be like, as part of our social studies class, like we're gonna learn about various religions.
00:46:38.000 But to the extent that they're allowed to do it, I wonder.
00:46:41.000 Because you can't have, you can't teach the Bible in these schools.
00:46:45.000 So, I jokingly tweeted, I half-jokingly was like, we should have religion studies, kids have questions, teachers should be allowed to give answers.
00:46:52.000 If a kid sees the crucifix or a rosary or something on the desk, well then the teachers should be allowed to give classroom instruction on Christianity, right?
00:46:59.000 Well, of course the left would flip out if that was the case.
00:47:02.000 Then I added, teachers should also tell the kids to keep it a secret from their parents.
00:47:06.000 Like, that's just unheard of.
00:47:09.000 Well, I don't think the schools are capable of doing that.
00:47:11.000 The left would never allow it to happen.
00:47:13.000 My view is that you have to think about uberizing education.
00:47:21.000 That you find out who's available to give your children the instruction they need.
00:47:26.000 You may not be able to do it through your own homeschooling program.
00:47:29.000 But you have individuals out there who say, you want this taught?
00:47:34.000 You want a third grade education for your child?
00:47:37.000 Pay me for three months and we'll get it done under your supervision and guidance and you'll know what's being taught.
00:47:43.000 Because the public schools, unless they were avowedly conservative, there's an old conservative truism that says any organization not avowedly conservative becomes left over time.
00:47:56.000 That's a thing.
00:47:56.000 And that's true, especially about the school.
00:47:58.000 I don't like using the word left.
00:47:59.000 They become radical.
00:48:01.000 The opposite of conservative is radical.
00:48:03.000 The whole liberal thing has been over-utilized.
00:48:04.000 Hold on.
00:48:05.000 And you made that point about going after kids.
00:48:08.000 I don't see that as a left thing.
00:48:10.000 I see that as a child predator thing.
00:48:12.000 And I think child predators saw that they could weasel their way in with the left.
00:48:17.000 They tried it by doing the LGBTP thing.
00:48:20.000 The left rejected that initially and they were like, no, no, now you've got the MAP thing, Minor Attracted Persons.
00:48:26.000 People who want to go after kids, no, you're not going to be able to accomplish that with conservatives who have a moral foundation around sanctity.
00:48:33.000 The only option is to get people on the left to agree.
00:48:36.000 Without God, anything is possible.
00:48:38.000 I like that you mentioned care and fairness and what it actually means and how they're maybe misinterpreting it because if you see a starving child and you think, well, the way I can care about this kid is to give him food every day, you create a dependence cycle.
00:48:49.000 Another good way to care about that kid is to teach him how to fish.
00:48:52.000 Now that kid can go and take care of himself.
00:48:54.000 Now, what's the real sort of care?
00:48:56.000 Is it to feed that kid every day?
00:48:57.000 And make basically a slave out of him to you?
00:49:00.000 Or to teach him how to become independent?
00:49:01.000 Both people, people will tell you that both of them are types of caring.
00:49:05.000 But getting too emotionally invested in it, I think, is where things can start to get twisted.
00:49:09.000 So, you would need a combination when dealing with a child, right?
00:49:12.000 So, for example, the responsibility of the parent is to provide for their child and feed them, but also, as you mentioned, ensure that when they become an adult they are capable of providing for themselves.
00:49:21.000 That said, I think when you look at care and fairness, as I mentioned earlier, you can call anything caring or anything fair.
00:49:29.000 It's what they do all the time.
00:49:30.000 I mean, look at their, like, tautological reasoning around the normalization of perverse behavior.
00:49:34.000 Love is love.
00:49:35.000 What does that actually mean?
00:49:36.000 That sounds very caring, that sounds very fair, but it doesn't actually mean anything.
00:49:40.000 You haven't explained why this is behavior that we should accept.
00:49:43.000 Yeah, sex.
00:49:44.000 They're like, sex is on the internet, so we need to tell kids about it early.
00:49:46.000 We care about them.
00:49:47.000 You know, if you really care about your kids, don't show them the sex.
00:49:49.000 These things are a radicalization tool.
00:49:51.000 You do not give them to children.
00:49:53.000 Check this out real quick.
00:49:54.000 This is from June 5th, 2019.
00:49:56.000 Human events.
00:49:57.000 No Snapchat.
00:49:58.000 Love definitely does have an age.
00:50:00.000 Oh my gosh.
00:50:01.000 So they're going to mention that, uh, so this is Ashley St.
00:50:04.000 Clair who noticed that on Snapchat there was a sticker that said, love has no age.
00:50:09.000 And everyone immediately was like, yo, it does.
00:50:11.000 It's over 18.
00:50:12.000 Like, what is this?
00:50:14.000 There's lots of types of love.
00:50:15.000 Firstly, there's eight types of love according to the Greeks.
00:50:17.000 One of them is Eros, and that is not for children.
00:50:19.000 We get it.
00:50:20.000 You mentioned child love.
00:50:21.000 But no, that's actually, it's interesting you do mention the different kinds of love because our culture, we just use one word.
00:50:27.000 For it, and I think part of the flaw here is that we have taken this idea of love in the sense of selfless giving and willing the good of the other person and conflated it with the desire for sexual pleasure.
00:50:42.000 The reason why I didn't want to derail into this philosophical argument is it was literally about LGBTQ pride.
00:50:48.000 The stickers on Snapchat was about LGBTQ issues and it included love has no age.
00:50:54.000 Disgusting.
00:50:54.000 Yikes.
00:50:55.000 So, they're not talking about platonic love.
00:50:58.000 They're talking about agape, the love of the community.
00:51:01.000 No, they're not.
00:51:03.000 They're talking about people who want to get married to each other.
00:51:06.000 That's erotic love.
00:51:07.000 Eros is what it's called.
00:51:08.000 Right, so we don't need to... They're using the word love to trick you into thinking that it's about familial love.
00:51:15.000 No, they aren't!
00:51:17.000 It's not love in the metaphysical sense, that's for sure.
00:51:21.000 Ian, you love to talk about love's different forms.
00:51:25.000 That is immaterial here to what we're talking about.
00:51:28.000 When you're talking about LGBTQ, we're talking about issues of people who want to get married and have relationships with each other.
00:51:35.000 One of the words in there is bisexual.
00:51:38.000 When they say for LGBTQ positive branding, love has no age, there's no reason to elaborate beyond that.
00:51:45.000 We know what they're saying.
00:51:46.000 Agreed.
00:51:47.000 Well, I mean, you have familial love.
00:51:47.000 Agreed.
00:51:48.000 Your mother loves you as a child when you're born.
00:51:51.000 But that's not how they mean it here.
00:51:51.000 That's love.
00:51:52.000 Well, it's a different kind of... they're abusive, they're twisted.
00:51:55.000 That's the problem.
00:51:55.000 I mean, you said it clearly.
00:51:56.000 That word is too vague.
00:51:58.000 Love is too vague.
00:51:59.000 The Greeks had eight different types of it.
00:51:59.000 It's too vague.
00:52:01.000 Why don't we?
00:52:02.000 Well, you know, getting back to the issue of the focus on the sexualization of children, the left, in my view, the organized left, the extremist left, I'm not talking liberals.
00:52:13.000 I don't think liberals hate children.
00:52:15.000 But the organized revolutionary left hates children, they hate childhood, they have no use for it other than as a prop for more government and more revolution.
00:52:26.000 So what else would you, if you hated children, what would you do?
00:52:30.000 Well, you'd traumatize them with sex talk.
00:52:33.000 Yep.
00:52:33.000 You'd kill them in the womb.
00:52:35.000 Yep.
00:52:36.000 You'd do all sorts of things that the left is doing.
00:52:39.000 And to an degree they talk about childhood.
00:52:41.000 It's about collectively raising children.
00:52:44.000 It takes the vitals to raise a child.
00:52:47.000 This is not a child-friendly philosophy, this radical ideology.
00:52:52.000 It's fundamentally anti-family.
00:52:53.000 I want to make sure we have a little bit of good news here.
00:52:55.000 We, uh, you know, not always just complaining, but we have this story from the Daily Mail.
00:52:59.000 Former McDonald's CEO who invented the McNugget.
00:53:02.000 Oh, good for him.
00:53:03.000 Sets up new group to fight back against woke corporations and buys enough Bank of America shares to formally propose that firm scraps staff CRT training.
00:53:14.000 Ed Renzi, who served as a CEO of McDonald's in the 1990s, is partnering with conservative groups to fight back against woke corporations.
00:53:14.000 Whoa!
00:53:21.000 He formed the boardroom Imitative?
00:53:25.000 A partnership between the Job Creators Network, the Free Enterprise Group, and Second Vote.
00:53:30.000 The goal of the group is to protect shareholders and employers of publicly traded companies from woke policies and ensure corporate accountability.
00:53:37.000 It comes as left-wing groups continue to buy up stocks and businesses until they raise enough clout to lobby the board to adopt leftist policies.
00:53:44.000 Companies are also being forced to the left so they can receive high ESG score, which would make them more profitable.
00:53:51.000 I would argue this environmental social governance thing they're doing, these companies that embrace this violate their fiduciary duty to the shareholders and the shareholders need to start filing lawsuits on those grounds.
00:54:05.000 Well, you know, companies that do that should be subject to scrutiny by the Feds and state authorities because, you know, in some states, and generally speaking, the law is when you're charged with investing someone's pension money, you're supposed to be trying to maximize the return.
00:54:22.000 And that's your priority.
00:54:24.000 Using it for other purposes to end the oil industry or advance social agendas is Contrary to law.
00:54:35.000 So it's not even a question of lawsuits.
00:54:36.000 It's a question of are we going to have law enforcement pursue these companies?
00:54:40.000 And you've got these big companies like BlackRock, Vanguard, that are pushing this.
00:54:45.000 And what's interesting is they push it here.
00:54:48.000 But they all own shares of companies abroad.
00:54:51.000 They don't go tell Chinese companies, you need to follow our woke agenda.
00:54:58.000 They tell American companies.
00:55:00.000 So I think the conservatives have to understand that corporations are largely controlled by the left.
00:55:06.000 And they're misusing and abusing our funds.
00:55:10.000 And it's not a question of a political difference, it's a question of misconduct by the investors and, as you point out, the corporations that are misusing dollars and misusing our retirement dollars, misusing shareholder dollars and misusing our retirement dollars, to advance a political agenda.
00:55:28.000 That's why Florida's pulling back Disney's tax Because they're misusing the trust that the public has given them through these tax benefits.
00:55:38.000 Conservatives are getting aided now in the culture war by post-liberals, people who were very much involved in culture and arts.
00:55:48.000 But because the woke left has gone so insane, because they seem to have no principles, you have people probably like us who all of a sudden are just rejecting and opposing this.
00:55:58.000 One of the challenges we face in all of this is there are still people who don't realize the shift and what has happened.
00:56:04.000 So you still hear these old talking points about Republicans are pro-corporation.
00:56:08.000 It's like, haven't you been around for the past five years where the conservatives were saying regulate big tech because of censorship?
00:56:15.000 Yeah, times have changed.
00:56:17.000 Donald Trump brought a lot of people into the Republican Party who are not traditional or conservative in that capacity.
00:56:24.000 And now we need to find a way to get, you know, people on the right who are still very much like, I don't want to regulate corporations.
00:56:30.000 And we got to get people on the left to realize they're being screwed over by the corporations.
00:56:34.000 Then we can make those changes.
00:56:35.000 Well, it's not regulation to enforce the laws against fraud or against the misuse of dollar.
00:56:40.000 I mean, we're not asking for more.
00:56:42.000 I don't want more regulation of Twitter.
00:56:44.000 I just want them to be held accountable for lying to regulators and shareholders and users in Congress about the purpose and the process of their censorship.
00:56:54.000 Same goes for Facebook and Google and YouTube.
00:56:56.000 They're lying when they're saying they're applying neutral principles.
00:56:59.000 And there's an algorithm that can't be messed with.
00:57:01.000 And don't worry, it's equally applied.
00:57:03.000 It's a big lie.
00:57:04.000 And it should be investigated as such, the way that the oil companies were being investigated for, quote, lying about climate change, which was bunk.
00:57:13.000 But we've got to enforce the law against these companies.
00:57:16.000 If Elon Musk gets a hold of Twitter, And that appears to be the news right now that he's gonna be raising some money and making a move within like the next week or so.
00:57:23.000 He's gonna get all those documents.
00:57:25.000 Well, he doesn't need the weight to get control.
00:57:27.000 As a shareholder, he can ask for documents about the processes that I'm talking about.
00:57:33.000 How is it the decision was made to throw off Trump?
00:57:36.000 You know, I was blocked for a tweet I made about hydroxychloroquine.
00:57:39.000 That was completely accurate.
00:57:41.000 Twitter had found it to be accurate.
00:57:43.000 They said it's a violation of the rules.
00:57:43.000 Someone complained about it.
00:57:45.000 Three, four months later, they locked me out of my account for posting the same darn tweet.
00:57:51.000 I mean, they're lying when they're saying they're doing things neutrally in a way that could survive scrutiny.
00:57:56.000 If they would survive scrutiny, we should rely on Elon Musk to get the documents out.
00:58:01.000 I think that's an opportunity for him to demand those documents as a shareholder.
00:58:05.000 It seems to me that if we want to go legally after these just corporations in general for abusing their shareholder trust, that it would have to be a decentralized move of lawfare.
00:58:14.000 Because if one unit, like if you were the only one to go, then you're like, Not a target, but like they did when the FBI goes into James O'Keefe's house, because he's the head of Project Veritas.
00:58:24.000 Duh.
00:58:25.000 So we need everyone to go after it together.
00:58:27.000 And maybe not, that's obviously hyperbole, but we need enough people pushing against these corporations for their fraud narrative, if there is such.
00:58:35.000 The spirit of the United States is decentralized movement.
00:58:40.000 Yeah, we're in a great suppression.
00:58:42.000 I call it the great suppression.
00:58:44.000 I mean, we're thought is being suppressed.
00:58:46.000 We have the Biden administration calling in big tech companies to encourage them to censor people.
00:58:51.000 That's right.
00:58:51.000 The big tech companies are doing it.
00:58:53.000 I know Judicial Watch uncovered that they were taking material down at the behest of government agencies, our material, other material.
00:59:00.000 So, I mean, the idea that this is some sort of private actor out there, no, it's part of a—it's collusion, and it's a crisis in the sense that, you know, we're in this revolutionary period.
00:59:13.000 They want to suppress our speech.
00:59:16.000 And, yes, they want to jail us, as James O'Keefe has found, as those being targeted by the January 6th Committee is finding.
00:59:24.000 I mean, they're now taking the position that if you were on an alternative slate of electors in a disputed election, you're being investigated by the Justice Department.
00:59:35.000 They want to jail their political opponents.
00:59:38.000 This is a revolutionary period, and our republic is tottering.
00:59:42.000 Our republic is tottering.
00:59:43.000 Absolutely agreed.
00:59:44.000 I wanted to ask you something about the instance you brought up with the White House actually instructing social media companies to censor certain things.
00:59:55.000 My understanding based on hearing that is it sounds like a blatant First Amendment violation, but I'm curious if there's some kind of legal loophole they're exploiting in order to get away with this.
01:00:04.000 Well, you know, there's always legal loopholes.
01:00:05.000 The question is, are you going to have individuals in positions of power to do something about it, actually exercise all their prerogatives?
01:00:14.000 So, for instance, President Trump was impeached for no good reason.
01:00:18.000 There are plenty of good reasons to impeach Biden.
01:00:18.000 Yeah.
01:00:20.000 And I'm not seeing Republican leadership talking about that in any significant way.
01:00:26.000 The Justice Department is controlled by Joe Biden.
01:00:29.000 The opportunities, it seems to me, in terms of enforcement against these companies is at the state level.
01:00:34.000 And, you know, Ron DeSantis is taking some leadership roles there.
01:00:38.000 There are some more aggressive attorney generals at the state level as well who understand going after Twitter in Texas, demanding documents.
01:00:46.000 They're in a big document fight with Twitter about their censorship policies.
01:00:50.000 But it's got to be coordinated.
01:00:51.000 I mean, they're attacking our freedoms and our civil rights and our civil liberties.
01:00:55.000 And, you know, these are God-given.
01:00:57.000 These are God-given civil liberties.
01:00:58.000 Our right to express ourselves is God-given.
01:01:01.000 It's recognized by the Constitution, but the right exists separate and apart from it, and everyone's coming after it.
01:01:08.000 You said Joe Biden is in control of the Justice Department.
01:01:10.000 Do you mean by appointing judges?
01:01:13.000 Constitutionally speaking, he's controlled the Justice Department.
01:01:16.000 It's his appointees.
01:01:17.000 The Justice Department is run by the left.
01:01:20.000 It's a democratic agency.
01:01:22.000 Most of the agencies are controlled by Democrats and leftists.
01:01:26.000 And the Justice Department is a locus of evil when it comes to public policy in our country.
01:01:30.000 every bad thing the government does, the Justice Department defends it and or participates in it.
01:01:36.000 But it's supposed to be a neutral entity?
01:01:38.000 It's supposed to be an entity that reflects the will of the people through its appointed
01:01:42.000 representative or elected representative, such as the president. And he has the Justice Department
01:01:48.000 is run by his attorney general and other senior appointees are confirmed by the Senate.
01:01:52.000 So there are those checks in place. But the agency tends to do what it wants to do.
01:01:57.000 And if there's a Democrat in office, they're free and clear.
01:02:01.000 And if they're a Republican in office, they're still free and clear.
01:02:04.000 Yeah, they used to be at each other.
01:02:05.000 John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, man, they would just argue.
01:02:08.000 They'd get up there and be like, I'm your vice president because I don't agree with you and we're not going to screw this up.
01:02:11.000 No, it's not a cult.
01:02:13.000 So I'd like to ask you, what's our way out of this?
01:02:18.000 Well, you know, I always tell people, you know, all you can do is what you can do.
01:02:21.000 Are you doing what you can do?
01:02:22.000 Are we using all the tools available to us under the Constitution and our system of government to enforce the rule of law and protect our rights and liberties?
01:02:31.000 Are we doing what we can do at the state level?
01:02:32.000 Are you active individually with your party?
01:02:35.000 If these issues concern you, are you communicating with your elected officials and your friends and your colleagues?
01:02:41.000 Are you running for office?
01:02:43.000 Are you participating in the party mechanics?
01:02:45.000 You can complain about the Republican Party, but if you're not participating, some loser is probably participating who's in it for all the wrong reasons.
01:02:53.000 And then once they're elected, we need men and women of ambition who understand their role in history.
01:02:58.000 And to protect our republic and to say we're not turning over the reins of our government to unelected bureaucracies.
01:03:07.000 We're not going to play this game where we sign a check once a year for four trillion dollars and then see what happens and then complain about it after the fact.
01:03:16.000 It's like, you know, the government, you know, Congress is like the guy who says, you know, the firefighters who set a fire and then show up after the house burns down and starts complaining.
01:03:28.000 Well, this is terrible.
01:03:29.000 You mentioned... They're all responsible.
01:03:31.000 You mentioned January 6th, and we do have this story which just came out a couple hours ago.
01:03:34.000 On Twitter, everyone is... people are saying that Alex Jones has flipped.
01:03:39.000 According to the New York Times, Alex Jones reached out to the Justice Department about
01:03:43.000 a January 6th interview. They say that through his lawyer, Mr. Jones said he has given the
01:03:47.000 government a formal letter conveying his desire to speak to federal prosecutors.
01:03:52.000 The lawyer, Norm Pattis, maintained that Mr. Jones had not engaged in any criminal wrongdoing that day when chanting slogans about 1776.
01:03:59.000 As a condition of being interviewed by federal investigators, Mr. Jones, who is known for his rants about the Deep State and its supposed control over national affairs, has requested immunity from prosecution.
01:04:11.000 The first thing I would say is I don't trust the New York Times on stories like this, but the other thing I would say too is everyone's saying, you know, a lot of people on the left are like, he's flipped!
01:04:20.000 I'm like, Alex Jones is on video yelling at people not to go near the Capitol, that it was a trap not to go in.
01:04:26.000 He's not going to get immunity from prosecution.
01:04:28.000 First of all, there are no crimes that are being pursued here other than perhaps against some of the January 6th defendants who actually committed violent acts in violation of the law.
01:04:38.000 The Alex Joneses of the world, to the degree they're facing any liability, it's because of corrupt prosecutions or activity by the FBI, DOJ, and the Democrats in Congress pushing them.
01:04:49.000 And, you know, my understanding of the federal system is that you don't get immunity What they do is you plead guilty to a crime, except a punishment that might be mitigated as a result of your cooperation.
01:05:02.000 They don't give out, typically, immunity for crimes.
01:05:05.000 They make you plead guilty.
01:05:07.000 So, you know, my guess is Alex Jones wants to roll the FBI and tell them the truth and tell them the truth about The people who believe the most psychotic conspiracies about January 6th believe insane conspiracies about what this is right now.
01:05:28.000 He's flipping, oh man, he's there, he's gonna rat on Trump.
01:05:32.000 Yeah, that's the crazy talk, that there's something to flip over.
01:05:35.000 Right, exactly.
01:05:36.000 So we had this really fun moment in January where I said that the people who were, you know, waved in to the Capitol or who walked up and the cops opened the doors and said, you know, let them come in and said, I respect your right to protest and took selfies with them.
01:05:51.000 These people, it's how are you going to get them on trespassing?
01:05:55.000 How are you going to get them on, you know, trespassing in the Capitol if they're invited in?
01:05:58.000 You won't be able to do it.
01:05:59.000 And the Young Turks did this segment where they were like, Tim Pool is so dumb, he's so dumb, and then what did we see?
01:06:05.000 There's actually a guy got the charges dismissed because he was like, they let me in.
01:06:09.000 The judge was like, you're right, they did.
01:06:11.000 Have a nice day, good sir.
01:06:12.000 So I imagine there's a lot of people who, obviously the ones that were fighting, there was one guy who got his charges dismissed relating to like mischief and vandalism or something, but he got trespassed because the judge was like, yo, you climbed over something to get in there.
01:06:27.000 You knew you were trespassing.
01:06:29.000 So we're going to see the people who are violent get charged.
01:06:31.000 We're going to see the people who are let in.
01:06:32.000 Probably a lot of these people are going to start getting, you know, not guilty pleas or not guilty verdicts.
01:06:38.000 But the people on the left who are seeing this story right now because they're tweeting about it, this is the exact same thing as the people who thought Trump was going to show up on March 3rd or whatever and walk into the White House in that Joe Biden ankle bracelet or whatever.
01:06:51.000 And arrest everyone.
01:06:52.000 Right.
01:06:53.000 And it ain't going to happen.
01:06:54.000 And you know, the real scandal is, you know, we've sued for all the records, all the videos of the Capitol.
01:07:01.000 We sued the Congress for it.
01:07:03.000 Nancy Pelosi's Congress is telling us that they have sovereign immunity, meaning they are immune from lawsuit.
01:07:03.000 We're in court.
01:07:09.000 And none of the records, they're not public records.
01:07:12.000 And even if they were, the public interest doesn't require their release.
01:07:15.000 So it's the worst day in American history.
01:07:17.000 But there's no public interest in releasing the records.
01:07:20.000 So, you know, in my experience, when you don't want to release one second of video, even voluntarily, what are you hiding?
01:07:28.000 And I'm sorry, guys, but, you know, this whole Michigan collapse, the Whitmer kidnapping collapse, means we should take a look at if the FBI would break the rules there, did they break the rules in some of the January 6th activities?
01:07:42.000 And I suspect we're going to find out that's the case.
01:07:44.000 Absolutely.
01:07:45.000 I mean, look, anyone who knows the name Ray Epps can tell you that there was almost certainly foul play here.
01:07:52.000 And we should just say to them what they've been saying to us over the fact that they've been collecting people's data in bulk.
01:07:57.000 If they have nothing to hide, then they should have nothing to fear.
01:08:00.000 Show us what happened.
01:08:00.000 Release the tape.
01:08:01.000 Ray Epps is interesting.
01:08:02.000 He was a dude at the rally, whatever you want to call it, event, January 16th, and he was like yelling for people to go to the Capitol, I believe, on video.
01:08:10.000 And they started calling him a fed.
01:08:11.000 Everyone started yelling at him and calling him a fed and shunned him.
01:08:13.000 And then all of a sudden he disappears and he's not prosecuted.
01:08:16.000 He turns up in a bunch of videos encouraging people and inciting them to riot.
01:08:16.000 Is this right?
01:08:20.000 And not prosecuted.
01:08:21.000 With the amount of spy tech we have, how is that guy not being prosecuted right now?
01:08:24.000 What about the guy who planted the bombs?
01:08:26.000 They didn't find that person.
01:08:27.000 Never found that.
01:08:27.000 That story just disappeared.
01:08:29.000 Just completely disappeared.
01:08:30.000 Well, and supposedly Harris is in the neighborhood.
01:08:33.000 Yes, Harris was right there.
01:08:35.000 What the heck's going on?
01:08:36.000 They said Kamala Harris was right there that morning.
01:08:39.000 But then they just stopped looking for the guy who planted them, apparently.
01:08:42.000 I mean, God help us.
01:08:43.000 You know, I hate to get back to the Secret Service.
01:08:45.000 You know, they get attacked.
01:08:46.000 You know, the agents were attacked for complaining about being attacked by dogs.
01:08:50.000 We found out the Secret Service top people or people in the position to protect the president were being targeted with a scam, some type of fraud.
01:08:59.000 by these two shysters in DC.
01:09:04.000 They were offering them gifts, and the Secret Service didn't even figure out it was going
01:09:07.000 on.
01:09:08.000 I think it was the Postal Inspection Service that figured it out.
01:09:11.000 So the Secret Service is dysfunctional, and as someone who doesn't want to see anyone in a position
01:09:18.000 of power harmed in the worst possible way.
01:09:21.000 I worry about our security.
01:09:23.000 Look, January 6th highlights that the government can't protect us.
01:09:29.000 They blew the security on January 6th at the Capitol.
01:09:32.000 The Secret Service is just as dysfunctional.
01:09:36.000 And these are major issues.
01:09:39.000 Why is it we think the Secret Service is any better than any other government agency?
01:09:43.000 Olivia Rondeau went on Kennedy Nation and said something really profound, and I hope I get this right, Olivia.
01:09:48.000 It's that the government is there to serve us, not to take care of us.
01:09:54.000 You're here to serve us.
01:09:54.000 Remember that.
01:09:55.000 We put you there on purpose so that you can work for us and get this done right because we're all sovereign.
01:10:02.000 You're right, but at this point in our country, in the past hundred years, it's just like, dude, that's just not the case anymore.
01:10:10.000 But that's the American spirit.
01:10:11.000 Without it, that's the nature.
01:10:13.000 The country is just a piece of land where people are getting along next door to each other.
01:10:16.000 If we don't have that belief in common, then things can go pretty weird.
01:10:21.000 We are seeing in cities, Democrat-controlled cities, non-citizens being granted the right to vote.
01:10:28.000 The moment that happens, you don't have a country.
01:10:30.000 Like, it's happening.
01:10:33.000 The presidential election, the electoral college, is influenced by non-citizens.
01:10:40.000 I think there was one or two votes in favor of Democrats because of the amount of illegal immigrants in California or something like that.
01:10:46.000 The congressional seats are not apportioned based on citizen count, they're based on population count.
01:10:53.000 So if you have a million non-citizens in one area, they're going to get an extra congressional seat and an extra electoral vote.
01:11:01.000 These things are ripping... We're a ship.
01:11:05.000 We're a big cruise ship.
01:11:07.000 Those things are holes in the ship and we are taking on water.
01:11:09.000 I'm a realist.
01:11:10.000 Do you think that we're just headed towards globalization and we gotta figure out how to roll with it?
01:11:14.000 Oh, well, yes, absolutely.
01:11:17.000 So the issue is, to a certain degree, globalization is not a bad thing.
01:11:22.000 The bad thing is the authoritarian takeover and the destruction of our sovereignty.
01:11:27.000 You can have international agreements, we can do away with war, we can have this beautiful planet, but in this area, we have our own laws, we make our rules, we live according to our values, and things like that.
01:11:38.000 The problem is, the World Economic Forum doesn't like our values.
01:11:41.000 The Davos Group doesn't like our values.
01:11:43.000 The values they want for the world are more like China's.
01:11:46.000 Yeah, I don't want to live that way.
01:11:47.000 So that's the real problem.
01:11:50.000 We had Elad Eliyahu on and he said he likes a unipolar world.
01:11:53.000 He doesn't want China to gain influence.
01:11:54.000 He wants the U.S.
01:11:55.000 to dominate everything because our values are better.
01:11:57.000 And I'm like, he's being honest about it.
01:12:00.000 And we need to recognize that.
01:12:01.000 In the world of the globalization as it's colloquially understood is Chinese-style social credit systems.
01:12:09.000 We can have a kind of international relations that can, you know, end war and have international courts where we retain our sovereignty and our values persist.
01:12:18.000 Do you think we're really ever going to end war?
01:12:20.000 So, I think what likely would happen is we may have already done it in the traditional sense of how we've known it or be getting really close to it.
01:12:30.000 Obviously, Ukraine and Russia right now, there's hot war.
01:12:33.000 But will we break past that point where it is just not economically feasible or worth going to war?
01:12:41.000 Instead, you'll see shady dealings, soft power, manipulation, or fifth generational warfare.
01:12:47.000 So war conflict will always exist in some form, but we're talking about modern warfare and we get to the point where we're like kinetic warfare is fading away and now it's all manipulation games.
01:12:56.000 It'll be psychological manipulation.
01:12:58.000 Well, you know, this is, this is, uh, Ukraine is kind of the, uh, highlights that war is a feature of the human condition.
01:13:05.000 And, you know, we spent trillions of dollars on our national security apparatus, uh, diplomacy, USAID, obviously our defense and intelligence establishments, to prevent war in Europe.
01:13:19.000 And it happened in a heartbeat.
01:13:21.000 And I think you could argue it's because of what we've spent.
01:13:24.000 Ukraine isn't Luxembourg.
01:13:26.000 It has 45 million people.
01:13:27.000 So this is not an insignificant military action by the Russians.
01:13:31.000 And we paid these guys to stop crap like that from happening.
01:13:35.000 And they couldn't figure out how to stop a gangster from going down the block and breaking someone's window.
01:13:42.000 And I'm exaggerating, obviously, for effect there.
01:13:45.000 But Putin was stoppable.
01:13:47.000 And my view is, this is where the corruption comes home to roost.
01:13:51.000 He sees Biden, his cognitive challenges.
01:13:53.000 He knows Biden's on the take because he's on the take in part from Russia, based on the information that's out there.
01:13:59.000 So he sees a corrupted and firm leadership in our country.
01:14:05.000 And why not do what he did?
01:14:08.000 I'm not saying it was the reason he did it, but some of the stoppers that would have been in place as a result of a competent, strong America that wasn't corrupted weren't present.
01:14:17.000 And to me, the result is death and destruction in Ukraine.
01:14:23.000 Yeah, man, that's why integrity is so important as an individual and as a nation, all of it.
01:14:26.000 Because if you are no longer, your word is no longer good, no one's going to take you seriously.
01:14:32.000 We had documents, I love these documents we found because, you know, I go back to them all the time.
01:14:36.000 And there were these documents just before Biden, just before Trump came in, Biden went and visited Ukraine.
01:14:42.000 And the two top State Department officials in Ukraine are talking about his visit, the anti-corruption visit.
01:14:47.000 And these were the two officials who testified against Trump.
01:14:51.000 And they were talking three days before Trump came in that Biden's there and the Russian press is making fun of Biden's anti-corruption issues because his son is on Burisma.
01:15:02.000 And they said that the Russians were trolling Biden and the State Department guy goes, Burisma is the gift that keeps on giving.
01:15:11.000 So, you know, we've got the State Department telling themselves they're making fun of our country.
01:15:18.000 Our foreign policy objective, let's say neutrally, was to stop corruption in Ukraine was being hampered by the vice president's family corruption.
01:15:26.000 And we're supposed to forget that when Ukraine is invaded four years later.
01:15:31.000 I think when Obama said never, what is this about?
01:15:34.000 Never, never overlooked Biden's, Joe's ability to screw something up.
01:15:38.000 He said something along those lines.
01:15:39.000 He wasn't joking.
01:15:40.000 He didn't say screw.
01:15:42.000 He used the F word.
01:15:45.000 Joe Biden screws up words.
01:15:49.000 And apparently familial board corporate relations in Ukraine, too.
01:15:55.000 Hunter should have never been on that board, man.
01:15:57.000 That's nuts.
01:15:58.000 Yeah, the challenge we face internally is tribalism.
01:16:02.000 There are people who have built careers off pandering, and they won't give it up.
01:16:05.000 It's true on the right, it's true on the left, but I think what you have right now going on for the right is that, like I mentioned, the post-liberal types, people who were Democrat voters before, who are more interested in principle and integrity, are sitting here being like, Look, I can watch Ben Shapiro.
01:16:20.000 Ben Shapiro will be like, Joe Biden was engaged in corrupt behavior in Ukraine, and I'm like... Okay, gang.
01:16:25.000 Right.
01:16:25.000 Okay, gang, he's engaged in... Okay, Joe Biden did bad things in Ukraine, right?
01:16:28.000 It's really quite obvious based on the tape we've seen.
01:16:30.000 Thank you, Seamus.
01:16:31.000 You're welcome.
01:16:32.000 And I'm sitting here, and I'm like, he's completely right.
01:16:35.000 And then he'll come out with some political position on policy as a response, and I'll be like, well, I disagree on your response position.
01:16:42.000 But if we agree on the facts, that's what's happening.
01:16:45.000 Any sane, reasonable person knows Joe Biden is crooked and doing crooked things.
01:16:51.000 I mean, flying his son in Air Force Two to China for a private equity deal.
01:16:54.000 Why are you using our resources for that?
01:16:56.000 But you'll get these people on the left who are just like, didn't happen.
01:17:00.000 Didn't happen.
01:17:00.000 That's why they won't come on this show.
01:17:02.000 I didn't see it, so it's not real.
01:17:04.000 Because they know we'll sit down and I'll pull up all of the stories and all of the videos and they'll just sit
01:17:09.000 there and listen to it.
01:17:10.000 And then they're going to have no choice when people are, when their fans are watching and like,
01:17:14.000 I didn't know that. It's like, well, because they didn't tell you.
01:17:17.000 You know, I never understood it. Well, I guess I do understand. But politicians of both parties always misunderestimate.
01:17:23.000 Is that the right word? Re-emphasize.
01:17:25.000 Misunderestimate, that's right, that's a man, I almost forgot about that.
01:17:29.000 I'm doubling down on underestimating it.
01:17:33.000 Corruption is a driving force for so much of the electoral public.
01:17:38.000 You know, remember when Nancy Pelosi came and took over Congress in 2010?
01:17:44.000 You know what her big piece was?
01:17:47.000 Her big slogan?
01:17:49.000 We need to drain the swamp.
01:17:50.000 Yeah.
01:17:51.000 So, you know, and what happens is these politicians run on battling corruption in Washington, D.C., of both parties, and then they get here.
01:18:00.000 And it doesn't get done.
01:18:01.000 And in the case of Trump, he actually did want to do something, and none of his appointees thought it was important.
01:18:07.000 Republicans don't care about battling corruption.
01:18:10.000 I know there are exceptions, and the exceptions prove the rule.
01:18:13.000 Democrats have incorporated corruption, unfortunately, into their governance style.
01:18:19.000 They turn their offices, in the case of the Vice President, into a racketeering operation.
01:18:26.000 So this is, this to me, there's opportunities on both sides of the political aisle to run on a reform anti-corruption agenda with teeth.
01:18:35.000 Yes, but I do think Republicans have their degree of corruption, as evidenced by this story from TimCast.com.
01:18:41.000 Candidate Robbie Starbuck responds to being kicked off Tennessee ballot.
01:18:45.000 Starbuck told TimCast he is exploring every legal option to remain in the congressional race.
01:18:49.000 That's right!
01:18:50.000 They tried passing this law to bump him and another individual off the ballot by saying they didn't live there long enough.
01:18:56.000 Turns out, Robbie actually did live in this district long enough.
01:19:00.000 Now I guess they're claiming he's not a Republican.
01:19:03.000 Robbie Starbuck, Morgan Ortegas, and Baxter Lee were all disqualified from the upcoming primary after the party's vote on April 19th that they did not meet its standards for bona fide Republicans.
01:19:14.000 Their candidacy was challenged earlier this month, triggering a vote by the state election committee.
01:19:18.000 According to the bylaws, a candidate is required to have voted in three of the last four Republican primaries or have state Republicans vouch for them.
01:19:26.000 Quote, The idea that I am not a Republican is most offensive, because if I am not, who the hell is?
01:19:31.000 Starbuck said.
01:19:33.000 Starbuck, he apparently said, let me see if I can find the quote, that he's been, the 33-year-old said he had 14 vouching letters affirming his status as a Republican, including statements from several county party chairs and the leader of the Nashville Young Republicans.
01:19:48.000 He was also endorsed by US Senator Rand Paul in 2021.
01:19:52.000 Starbuck largely attributed the party's vote to institutional corruption, believing that Republican leaders in the state would prefer a controllable rhino.
01:20:00.000 Right.
01:20:00.000 Well, and this goes to my point.
01:20:01.000 this system works. In order to get into office, it's through one of the two parties. The parties
01:20:06.000 are private organizations who can do whatever they want. So they are blocking Robbie Starbuck
01:20:10.000 from being able to run because he's a real candidate.
01:20:12.000 Well, and this goes to my point. So there are probably a lot of conservatives in Tennessee,
01:20:16.000 and we may presume, well, you know, Tennessee, that's got to be conservative down there.
01:20:20.000 Well, that Republican Party leadership has been a long time moderate operation.
01:20:26.000 I mean, the Republicans from Tennessee, at least in the Senate, haven't been as hardcore as I would have liked.
01:20:33.000 And this is why people should participate in party politics.
01:20:36.000 You know, you can't spit from the outside and expect the party to change.
01:20:42.000 If you're a Democrat, get involved in Democratic politics.
01:20:45.000 If you're a Republican, get involved in Republican politics.
01:20:48.000 If you don't, that's what happens.
01:20:51.000 Yeah, I wonder if it's also because of Nashville being in Tennessee.
01:20:55.000 Whenever you have a large urban center like that, it skews your elections to the left.
01:20:59.000 And you get fake Republicans.
01:21:02.000 Yeah.
01:21:05.000 Well, Robby's definitely a Republican.
01:21:06.000 I know the guy.
01:21:07.000 I've looked him in the eyes.
01:21:08.000 I mean, I'm kind of being facetious.
01:21:10.000 Robby.
01:21:10.000 No.
01:21:11.000 Okay.
01:21:12.000 But he is.
01:21:13.000 You just said for people to get into politics, I cannot fathom how to fix the system from within the system because the system is busted.
01:21:19.000 It's like being on a broken train that's about to go off a cliff.
01:21:21.000 If you have the chance to fix it from above and you can actually see the whole train and fix the tracks, now we're talking.
01:21:27.000 But if you want to get on board, man, how can you fix Well, it's the same thing about the school board fight.
01:21:36.000 You have to be at the table in order to affect the debate.
01:21:39.000 And you show up at these meetings.
01:21:41.000 They're usually boring.
01:21:43.000 And you just show up at political meetings.
01:21:46.000 And a lot of people don't.
01:21:49.000 And if you do and you're principled, you can go far.
01:21:52.000 And because people need bodies.
01:21:54.000 And before you know it, you're the county chair.
01:21:57.000 Before you know it, you're on the state executive committee of the party.
01:22:00.000 And before you know it, you're in a position to certify someone like Robbie Starbuck onto a ballot or oppose someone who shouldn't be on the ballot.
01:22:11.000 So it works both ways.
01:22:12.000 And, you know, we want the parties to be strong.
01:22:16.000 Our establishment wants the parties to be weak and to kind of have a vanilla flavor throughout the system.
01:22:24.000 And if you want distinctions and you want activism, you've got to learn how to win.
01:22:30.000 And the way to do that is by participating in the process.
01:22:33.000 You need activism.
01:22:35.000 The left is really good at organizing phone call and postcard letter campaigns.
01:22:40.000 What are Republicans going to do right now after what they're doing to these candidates, namely Robbie Starbuck?
01:22:46.000 Because this is BS.
01:22:48.000 They're just lying, saying he's not a Republican so that they can boot him off the ballot.
01:22:52.000 Well, every Republican needs to figure out how to organize.
01:22:55.000 Every individual who believes in Robbie Starbuck and is sick of the corruption in this machine, staring in the face of it, needs to get organized and figure out something.
01:23:04.000 Because I'll tell you what the left would do.
01:23:06.000 They wouldn't stop calling.
01:23:07.000 You would get 50 leftists, and they would just hit redial, and then wait for the phone to answer, and then start complaining when they hang up, hit redial again, and their phones would be off the hook.
01:23:18.000 And just 50 people.
01:23:20.000 Yeah, I mean, each leftist has all 50 of their personalities call in to complain.
01:23:25.000 Right.
01:23:25.000 That's right.
01:23:26.000 All their headmates.
01:23:26.000 Yeah.
01:23:27.000 Yeah.
01:23:27.000 I just wanted to say before we move on from this topic is that one of the best ways that you can do this kind of activism is to call your local GOP.
01:23:34.000 Like if you're in Tennessee listening to this, you should talk to the GOP there in Tennessee and tell them that you're not okay with this.
01:23:40.000 They're crooked.
01:23:41.000 People need to protest.
01:23:42.000 Volunteer and, you know, for instance on the election systems, if you don't like the way elections are run, go and participate in running elections.
01:23:52.000 You can get hired.
01:23:52.000 I mean, you know, the unions, you know, they don't get hired.
01:23:56.000 They make it a point to get hired to count votes.
01:23:59.000 Well, Republicans and conservatives should make it a point to be hired and count votes.
01:24:04.000 That's the way to ensure that elections are more fairly run.
01:24:08.000 Actually count the votes, according to the law.
01:24:11.000 At the time, we have a corporation tallying the votes in private, which is dominion for the last presidential election, which is incredibly disturbing.
01:24:18.000 I think we need to also, in addition to what you're saying, Tom, build a parallel system where you can vote in their system and vote in this system that's transparent and see if it lines up.
01:24:26.000 No.
01:24:28.000 Yes.
01:24:28.000 No, Ian.
01:24:28.000 Well, no and yes, too.
01:24:29.000 You know what we have to do?
01:24:31.000 We have to free the code.
01:24:33.000 You're right.
01:24:33.000 Of big technology firms that are functioning in the commons, their code needs to be free.
01:24:39.000 This is the freedom of speech of the 21st century.
01:24:42.000 We need to free the software code of the voting machines.
01:24:44.000 You need to be able to reference those.
01:24:46.000 These companies that are doing digital vote counting, that code needs to be public.
01:24:52.000 And here's what needs to happen.
01:24:54.000 Before the election, there should be an audit where a person from each party and an independent goes in with an approved tech person who then audits the code and presents it to the public and says, here's how the code of this machine works.
01:25:15.000 Every single line is available for public viewing.
01:25:17.000 I feel like even then, they could give you the code and say, this is how it works, but then go in the back room and make it do other things with that code.
01:25:25.000 So you need it on a blockchain too.
01:25:27.000 Honestly, I think they're bold enough that they would show you the actual code and if anyone pointed out any problems with it, fact check, false.
01:25:33.000 There is no problem with the code.
01:25:35.000 It's only a conspiracy theory.
01:25:36.000 No, no, because remember when Democrats were screaming there was going to be fraud in the election, like in 2019 or something?
01:25:43.000 They were like, we gotta do something about this.
01:25:45.000 And then they all started shutting up.
01:25:46.000 When you have before an election and no one knows how things are going to swing, you see one thing wrong and the Democrat is going to be like, no, no.
01:25:54.000 And the Republican is going to be like, no, no, fix it, fix it.
01:25:56.000 We, we, we object.
01:25:58.000 Unless someone's in on it.
01:26:00.000 Well, my view on these companies, Dominion and Smartmatic, you know, they've come up with these outrageous lawsuits against critics that seem to me mighty political and over the top.
01:26:11.000 And, you know, we want these companies to be neutral, right?
01:26:14.000 And it seems to me they've thrown down the gauntlet on one side of the political narrative when it comes to our elections.
01:26:20.000 And I would be very suspicious, whether their code works or not, about letting them work in any states.
01:26:25.000 Yeah, the thing that they're going after is people claiming that they're fraudulent.
01:26:29.000 I'm not making that claim.
01:26:30.000 I'm claiming that I can't see the code, so I don't know if it's fraudulent or not.
01:26:33.000 Well, I think whether you see the code or not is almost irrelevant to the question of, are we counting ballots in a way that people are confident that the individuals casting the ballots are eligible to vote?
01:26:47.000 And I don't think that's true.
01:26:49.000 If the code works, illegal votes will be counted accurately.
01:26:56.000 That's not going to solve the problem.
01:26:58.000 I'm not, I'm not... The issue is so much deeper than just, I guess, I suppose, illegal voting.
01:27:05.000 Because you can track those things down.
01:27:06.000 But if California opens their border up and says, come on in, and then the census happens, and they're like, look how many, how many more people we get, and they get more votes than the Electoral College, it doesn't matter if the individual votes.
01:27:18.000 All that matters is we know Texas will be blue, and Texas can effectively stuff the Electoral College ballot by bringing in non-citizens.
01:27:25.000 You know, the system should be set up in a way to, and I think you're highlighting the issue, to reassure people that their votes are going to be counted and counted accurately and the election result is going to be something approximate to the actual, what actually happened, the winner won.
01:27:41.000 Whether it's exact or not, the winner won.
01:27:43.000 And right now, half the country doesn't think that's the system.
01:27:47.000 And so we need to reassure the public, we need to save elections by requiring voter ID, Maybe getting rid of the computer counting or make it a lot more easily watchable and having one day only voting only emergency absentee voting if you're getting your head shot off abroad and you're in the military maybe yeah that that warrants you getting a special treatment everyone else show up or
01:28:13.000 But the idea that you're voting out there without any supervision, any party looking at you to make sure you're not being intimidated, we're outside the protection of security and our government processes, it's an open opportunity for fraud.
01:28:29.000 And when people don't have confidence in the system, the system collapses.
01:28:34.000 Well, I'll put it this way.
01:28:35.000 If, uh, someone invited you over to their house in, you know, the middle of a big city.
01:28:41.000 Chicago's a good example.
01:28:41.000 Let's say Chicago.
01:28:43.000 And, uh, they said, you can crash here.
01:28:46.000 We have no doors or windows.
01:28:48.000 Like, they're basically just all exposed and open.
01:28:51.000 And, uh, no, no one will, like, we've, we've, we've never, like, you know, filmed anybody coming in here, so, you know, we don't think it's an issue.
01:28:58.000 Would you be comfortable, like, chilling in there and leaving your stuff and going to bed?
01:29:02.000 You're like, nah, I don't, I don't, I'm gonna keep my bag close to my, I'm gonna wrap my arms around the, the backpack as I go to sleep.
01:29:09.000 Because you'd be like, I'm not okay with this.
01:29:11.000 It's not an issue of whether or not someone did or, or is in the act of committing an illegal act.
01:29:16.000 It's that, why would you want to participate in an insecure system?
01:29:20.000 Like, hey, come crash at my house while you're in Chicago.
01:29:23.000 The front door and the back door are completely off the hinges and the windows have all been removed, but you can sleep wherever you want.
01:29:27.000 You'd be like, nah, I'm good.
01:29:29.000 Or you go to the bank and they've got black paint over all the cameras and you give cash to someone standing out front who says, don't worry, I'll get it to the teller.
01:29:36.000 And the teller doesn't keep any records of who gave it to the money and where the money is supposed to be going.
01:29:40.000 You know, you have to have a system in place that survives basic scrutiny.
01:29:44.000 It ain't going to be perfect.
01:29:46.000 I mean, we were doing an analysis of voter roll lists in New York and California, Oregon.
01:29:52.000 In New York, I think they removed 10 names in the entire city over the last four years.
01:29:57.000 They should have removed hundreds of thousands of names.
01:30:00.000 So you've got the list full of people who have moved away, and that's just like a big pool of voters.
01:30:06.000 to pull from illegally to engage in fraud.
01:30:10.000 And that undermines the system.
01:30:13.000 And the courts have found, interestingly, Tim, that you don't need to prove fraud in order to justify these rules.
01:30:19.000 It's the appearance of fraud and the opportunities for fraud that states have an interest in stopping to reassure voters that your vote is going to be counted.
01:30:28.000 So the left says, we don't have to prove fraud in order to justify voter ID and to make sure that people are actually citizens, for instance, before they're allowed to vote, which is, to me, the voter ID everyone agrees with.
01:30:43.000 Well, it doesn't work if non-citizens can get that type of voter ID that allows them to vote.
01:30:49.000 Yeah.
01:30:50.000 I want to mention this story because we did miss it and we shouldn't have, but Julian Assange extradition order issued by London court moving Wikileaks founder closer to US transfer.
01:31:02.000 The difficult thing with the story on Julian Assange is I called it a political execution.
01:31:06.000 What I mean by that is, the goal of everything they did with Julian Assange, putting him in lockup, he gets jammed up in the Ecuadorian embassy, is just to end his ability to work.
01:31:20.000 There's that thing where Hilary Clinton was like, can we just drown the guy?
01:31:23.000 When he was in London or something.
01:31:25.000 But it's an important story and we need to just, I want to make sure we keep it in the spotlight to the best of our abilities as this stuff is going on because what happened to Julian Assange is the most, one of the most corrupt and overt displays of evil that we have seen from our and other governments to silence somebody who was a thorn in their side.
01:31:48.000 I think the Justice Department and the FBI are irredeemably corrupt.
01:31:51.000 And that means that even charges against people who may have done something wrong, especially in a political context, can't be trusted.
01:31:59.000 And it's a horrible situation to be for a country that respects the rule of law when its top enforcement agencies put their thumb on the scales all the time.
01:32:09.000 The liberal economic order really changed this country.
01:32:12.000 Now they're using it as the spearhead of a global military force, and it's like, be damned the consequences.
01:32:18.000 He exposed collateral murder with WikiLeaks, and you see these helicopter pilots laughing as they're blowing up civilians.
01:32:23.000 They weren't laughing.
01:32:24.000 They were joking with each other, and like, go get them, yeah, yeah.
01:32:29.000 I think, as a human, maybe we didn't need to see it, but it woke a lot of people up to the fact that there is a liberal economic order and a military-industrial complex.
01:32:36.000 For better or worse, I don't know, man.
01:32:39.000 I don't know.

01:33:00.000 Let's read.
01:33:01.000 We've got GBP who says, happy 420.
01:33:05.000 And he put an emoji of fire and broccoli.
01:33:08.000 A person with their mouth open and smoke.
01:33:10.000 Broccoli.
01:33:11.000 Well, I guess it's as close as you can get on emojis, right?
01:33:13.000 Figured out the history of 420.
01:33:15.000 Most credible story traces to 4, April 20th, Marin County, California, 1971.
01:33:21.000 Five students at San Rafael High School would meet at 420 p.m.
01:33:24.000 by the campus statue of chemist Louis Pasteur to partake.
01:33:27.000 They chose that specific time because extracurricular activities had usually been ended by then.
01:33:32.000 Yep.
01:33:33.000 That's what I read, too.
01:33:34.000 Path of least resistance.
01:33:35.000 Memeotype says, Ian, halfway through your Michael Malice appearance, you're an incredible person and a genuine light in the world.
01:33:41.000 Much love.
01:33:41.000 Thank you so much, man.
01:33:42.000 And I was going to shout it out at the end of the show.
01:33:43.000 I'll do it now.
01:33:44.000 I was on Your Welcome with Michael Malice.
01:33:46.000 It dropped to day 420.
01:33:47.000 What's up, Michael?
01:33:48.000 It was epic.
01:33:49.000 That guy is like otherworldly.
01:33:52.000 He's an incredible interviewer, a kind soul, a beautiful man, intelligent person.
01:33:56.000 I highly recommend going to check it out.
01:33:57.000 You're welcome on YouTube.
01:33:59.000 Michael Malice, subscribe, leave a comment, let me know what you think about our show there.
01:34:05.000 Michael Malice is one of our favorite people.
01:34:07.000 Absolutely.
01:34:07.000 All right, Titus Flavius Josephus says, aimed primarily at Tim, but curious of everyone's answer, is being authoritarian always evil in your opinion, or would you side with an authoritarian that is generally aligned with you?
01:34:19.000 Use authority to maintain liberty.
01:34:21.000 Being authoritarian is not always evil, but it's not about maintaining my alignment.
01:34:25.000 It's about how it's wielded, right?
01:34:28.000 So, in an emergency where you're facing a very serious existential threat, and a legitimate one, I think it's fair to say that we take extreme measures.
01:34:38.000 The problem is, that is exploited for political gains, and then if you give the government the ability to seize power with an emergency, they will make up emergencies to seize power.
01:34:49.000 So I think there are instances where, and it's tough because authoritarian could mean a couple different things in the context, but adhering to authority isn't always bad.
01:34:59.000 It's varying degrees.
01:35:01.000 For me, I am way down on the libertarian spectrum, but I am not at the bottom.
01:35:05.000 I'm not an anarchist.
01:35:06.000 I recognize some authority is actually a really good thing and it helps people live safely and securely.
01:35:12.000 But when you start getting into the more overtly and over-authoritarian is when you get evil, corruption, etc.
01:35:18.000 So, I don't know if you guys wanted to... Yeah, I'm thinking of Dungeons & Dragons alignment.
01:35:21.000 You got lawful, neutral, and chaotic.
01:35:24.000 And, you know, I think what you were saying earlier is that you're neutral in that.
01:35:27.000 Because you see the value of law, but you also see how dangerous it can be when it's used improperly.
01:35:32.000 Sometimes laws are very evil.
01:35:34.000 Like, you have a lawful... And you gotta break the law.
01:35:36.000 Like, Thomas Jefferson's very, very direct about that.
01:35:39.000 If law is misused, it's our duty to make a new form of law.
01:35:45.000 Well, law that's evil isn't law.
01:35:47.000 So, you know, to a degree we have the rule of law, and the authority arises from the rule of law as properly understood and legitimate.
01:35:55.000 That's appropriate.
01:35:56.000 But authoritarianism in kind of the traditional political sense is at odds with self-government, and that's almost always wrong.
01:36:04.000 All right, Thomas Sidebottom says, Tim, one of your videos convinced me today to delete my Netflix account.
01:36:09.000 Then I bought a subscription to The Daily Wire and TimCast.com, right?
01:36:13.000 Absolutely.
01:36:14.000 But what we need to do, instead of telling everybody, cancel your Disney, cancel your Netflix, we should be like, start making shows.
01:36:23.000 Start becoming members of channels and companies that you do like, like TimCast or like Daily Wire.
01:36:31.000 So, our mobile app is coming out soon.
01:36:35.000 So, we're first testing iPhone, then we gotta test Android.
01:36:39.000 Then we wanna do OTT over the top, so Roku, Apple TV, all those things, so that we can make more shows and just have them on that app.
01:36:50.000 So, instead of me being like, you should get rid of Netflix, I'll be like, you should just use our app instead, and we're gonna make non-woke content.
01:36:58.000 Yeah, you're a competitor.
01:36:59.000 You know, this is the thing.
01:37:00.000 We compete.
01:37:01.000 Judicial Watch competes against Netflix.
01:37:04.000 Libs of TikTok competes against The Washington Post.
01:37:08.000 We are competitors.
01:37:10.000 So you are supporting, you know, someone who competes against those entities.
01:37:16.000 When you support Tim Kent, when you support Judicial Watch, when you support everyone here at the table, you're supporting competition in the information space.
01:37:25.000 Right on.
01:37:26.000 Waffle Sensei says, I don't mind if Disney has its own government operating on their property as long as I can have my own personal government on my property as well.
01:37:34.000 Well, some would say you already do.
01:37:36.000 Just, uh, just get a hundred people and a hundred people's all you need to incorporate a town, right?
01:37:41.000 I don't know what the rule is.
01:37:42.000 You need to start passing laws, make speed traps.
01:37:45.000 Can you have a corporation of a hundred people and then turn it into a town?
01:37:48.000 I have no idea.
01:37:50.000 Maybe.
01:37:51.000 Maybe that's what will happen.
01:37:53.000 Go to New Jersey.
01:37:54.000 You'll find out how many people can cause, you know, there's a town every three minutes.
01:37:59.000 Well, out here in West Virginia, the issue is they use the town as the postal identifier, but there's no there's no town.
01:38:05.000 It's like a random house in an unincorporated part of the state.
01:38:09.000 Scott Odom says, Tim, even if the buildings aren't up to code, they're grandfathered in as existing buildings.
01:38:14.000 But if they ever remodel, they're in trouble.
01:38:17.000 Well, that will be really interesting.
01:38:20.000 Jason Belch or is it Bellic? Sorry. I'm a member and 25 year coder and technologist
01:38:25.000 Which email do I use to talk to you guys about possibly working together members pitches? I think spin the UFO
01:38:32.000 So we have a lot of super chats asking about Gonzalo Lira and a lot of super chats
01:38:41.000 But they're all just saying he went missing So we did mention that a little while ago, that the Daily Beast contacted the Ukrainian government to alert them, and now he's gone missing.
01:38:51.000 I don't know who that is.
01:38:52.000 He was a pickup artist, like a dating coach guy, YouTuber, I think he's, he's not from the United States, I believe, but he was an American citizen went to Ukraine, making videos, talking about the war.
01:39:03.000 And then this article comes out of the Daily Beast that took some of his content out of context, like quoting him and make kind of really the article makes him seem like a Putin apologist and that he wanted Russia to win the war or something.
01:39:13.000 And then he just went disappeared.
01:39:16.000 Man.
01:39:17.000 Alright.
01:39:18.000 Dangerous.
01:39:18.000 Dangerous time.
01:39:19.000 Don't mess with your government during a war, that's for sure.
01:39:22.000 Simulation 115 says, Tim, have you heard of the Fuster Cluck?
01:39:26.000 That is New York State's redistricting.
01:39:28.000 What's going on there is crazy.
01:39:30.000 Have you been following that?
01:39:31.000 I have and I think it got fixed a little bit.
01:39:34.000 What's been going on?
01:39:36.000 You know what happened is you had the Democratic majority in New York basically throw out all good sense and issue an extreme partisan gerrymander and the courts Last time I checked, looked askance at it and threw it out, but I'm not sure what the status is now.
01:39:52.000 We had a big fight in Maryland over that.
01:39:53.000 We just we beat back Maryland's Democrat supermajority court, found it to be extreme partisanship, and we won.
01:40:00.000 So, you know, it's fun.
01:40:01.000 You can't you know, you can win in these blue states if you're principled and you're following, you know, the rule of law is a glorious thing in this country, which why the left hates it because it keeps them in control or within control.
01:40:16.000 All right.
01:40:17.000 Captain Tanker Joe says, Hey guys, I want all of your opinions on something.
01:40:22.000 Why does public school push college so badly?
01:40:25.000 It seems like the public school system is pushing people away from the trades to brainwash the generations into debt.
01:40:30.000 Thoughts?
01:40:32.000 So I have a couple thoughts here.
01:40:33.000 I would say, firstly, It's a system which is set up to have a person continue to exist within the system.
01:40:41.000 So a lot of young people become teachers and it's basically because they've never really considered going out and doing something else.
01:40:48.000 Also, maybe this is a little more cynical and I'd probably like to flesh this out more.
01:40:53.000 I don't know that this is their intention, but In fact, I'd say probably isn't, but I find it interesting that it helps them to abdicate their own responsibility to prepare children for the world.
01:41:01.000 So what we constantly hear is people who have a high school diploma aren't able to get a job and perform at the level our economy requires to the point where they could earn a living and support a family.
01:41:13.000 So we should give them four more years of education for free instead of going, hold on, what has gone wrong in the 12 years of education that's already being provided that they're not Fully formed adults who are able to compete in the workforce for decent jobs.
01:41:27.000 School's broken.
01:41:28.000 Exactly.
01:41:29.000 Public school is a disaster.
01:41:31.000 All right.
01:41:32.000 Let's see.
01:41:33.000 I want to say fundamentally, I completely, fundamentally disagree with the idea of it too.
01:41:36.000 I'm not saying we're going to make them work.
01:41:38.000 Top down, anything for the most part is pretty risky.
01:41:41.000 Yeah.
01:41:42.000 Alright, Caesar7hill says, what is the show's opinion on a childless tax to stimulate the birth rate?
01:41:48.000 More like a family tax cut.
01:41:49.000 Yeah.
01:41:50.000 The more kids you have, you get tax cuts.
01:41:52.000 Yeah, I'd rather not punish people for living single lives.
01:41:55.000 I mean, you implement a high income tax, then you say, we're doing a tax cut for people with families, and you're doing that either way.
01:42:02.000 Well, you know, those who don't have kids aren't paying in the long run for their support through the social security system.
01:42:10.000 It's true.
01:42:10.000 So you're, in many ways, childless folks are not providing enough tax revenue over the long term by bringing in a new generation to support their social security and other benefits they get in the older years.
01:42:27.000 That's absolutely correct.
01:42:28.000 Not enough people talk about that.
01:42:30.000 The social security system completely defers responsibility so people don't end up having children and raising families.
01:42:35.000 Grant Arnett says, earlier today you said you're going to see Doctor Strange, but why see it after the laundry list of reasons not to?
01:42:42.000 There's a challenge, but it's like I'm saying, I don't think we should go to people and tell them to give up the content they like.
01:42:48.000 Abandon!
01:42:48.000 Delete your Netflix!
01:42:50.000 We should be saying, create alternatives, and then once the Daily Wire has a competitor, we tell people, you know, make sure you're supporting them as well.
01:42:58.000 Competition is more important.
01:43:00.000 I think it's unreasonable to tell people, stop watching, you know, this show or that show if you like it, because people want entertainment.
01:43:07.000 What we need to do is compete and win.
01:43:08.000 That being said, there's great reasons to avoid Disney, absolutely.
01:43:14.000 I think we also don't want to isolate ourselves from the culture, which is why we have Pop Culture Crisis on Timcast.
01:43:19.000 It's not, there's no real perfect answers, but my view of this is we want to engage with the culture and be a part of it, and then pull people towards our sphere of influence to change things with the culture we create, with the culture we are participating in.
01:43:32.000 And part of it is, I just absolutely love Doctor Strange and want to see the movie.
01:43:36.000 So, recognizing that, I can't expect to go to someone and say, give up all of your favorite movies, don't watch Star Wars, don't watch Marvel, don't watch any of that stuff.
01:43:44.000 No, that's unreasonable.
01:43:45.000 What is reasonable is to be like, The Daily Wire's got a superhero movie, watch that.
01:43:50.000 Because at the very least, then you're supporting Daily Wire's expansion.
01:43:53.000 If you really want to, you know, go full ideological, then get rid of all that stuff for sure.
01:43:58.000 I think the reasonable approach is to maybe tone it down and maybe give more to people you do love.
01:44:03.000 Yeah, you're practicing mental jujitsu with people and they are coming at you.
01:44:07.000 When you're in a conversation with someone, they're coming at you.
01:44:08.000 Telling them to stop coming at you is not going to stop them.
01:44:11.000 You need to move their energy into a new place.
01:44:13.000 Personally, I can't keep track of everything I'm supposed to boycott and avoid.
01:44:17.000 It's just too much.
01:44:18.000 So we just have to win the cultural battles.
01:44:20.000 Daily Wire's doing a fantastic job.
01:44:23.000 I'll tell you guys this.
01:44:24.000 You know, I joke about Chicken City making a bunch of money and being so successful, but you need to understand.
01:44:29.000 We just made a minute-long little short, which is totally family-friendly, and it's like Looney Tunes-style comedy.
01:44:37.000 This is a family-friendly show where we're going to get people, you know, parents and their kids watching this stuff.
01:44:44.000 We're going to be pulling them towards our sphere of influence.
01:44:47.000 So, you bring them over, you say, hey look, there's no political messaging, there's no, it's just a bunch of chickens, it's fun, it's funny.
01:44:54.000 The kids watch it.
01:44:55.000 We make little shorts that are fun for adults, because I thought it was hilarious, but the kids can watch it too.
01:45:00.000 You build the culture.
01:45:02.000 Then we have Pop Culture Crisis, hosted by Brett Dasovic and Mary Morgan, where they comment on the culture and talk about these issues because we want to participate in this.
01:45:10.000 We want to, you know, it's like looking at a group of people all talking about something and being like, I should be able to stand here and yell at them and they should agree with me.
01:45:17.000 It's like, no, no, go in there, shake their hands, talk to them and be like, what do you think?
01:45:20.000 I want to show you something.
01:45:20.000 Hey, come over here.
01:45:21.000 That's what we're trying to do.
01:45:22.000 No one gave a crap about me in high school until I started acting.
01:45:25.000 And then they all started laughing, and then they liked me.
01:45:27.000 Do the same thing in reality with business.
01:45:29.000 And then, and then, after everybody liked him, he started talking about magnetic fields, and they went, I didn't know that.
01:45:34.000 That's when you get him.
01:45:35.000 Once you got him, then you can tell him all about the magnetic nature of the universe, God's energy flowing through you.
01:45:41.000 Exactly.
01:45:43.000 So I'll put it this way.
01:45:45.000 In sales, you can't approach someone as an other.
01:45:49.000 If you see a guy in a suit, you can't act like a hippie.
01:45:51.000 If you see a hippie, you can't act like a guy in a suit.
01:45:53.000 You have to meet people on their terms.
01:45:56.000 I think for the longest time, one of the problems conservatives have had is that they talk radio and complain.
01:46:02.000 Oh, what these woke leftists are doing.
01:46:04.000 We do it.
01:46:05.000 You know, we complain about it.
01:46:06.000 But you got to do a little bit more than that.
01:46:07.000 That's why we basically have one political show, which is this.
01:46:11.000 And then we've been focusing on making cultural shows and cultural content so that the people who already know these things can watch something else.
01:46:19.000 They have an alternative to Disney or Netflix.
01:46:21.000 And then people who don't watch this might not care to watch it, but might really enjoy watching chicken cartoons with their family or something.
01:46:27.000 Or Eric Weinstein's theory of geometric unity.
01:46:30.000 Open invite, Eric, if you want to come on some Friday.
01:46:33.000 Yes.
01:46:34.000 All right, let's grab some more super chats.
01:46:39.000 Let's say...
01:46:42.000 Ratnapper says, Taylor, on Matt Bender's podcast, confirmed that she knew an address she had was in fact a private home address.
01:46:50.000 It was the picture Libs of TikTok snapped of her at her door, confirmed by Taylor.
01:46:55.000 Well, there you go.
01:46:57.000 They knew what they were doing.
01:46:59.000 Weird.
01:46:59.000 They just lie about it.
01:47:00.000 And also, like I said, if they didn't, that's worse.
01:47:02.000 Isn't this person supposed to be a journalist?
01:47:06.000 Yeah, I wonder what's worse.
01:47:08.000 Everyone else figured it out after they published the story.
01:47:10.000 It's the same with Saki.
01:47:11.000 It's either what's worse, that you're really stupid or that you're malicious.
01:47:14.000 I don't know.
01:47:15.000 Well, you're an activist.
01:47:16.000 The politics comes first.
01:47:18.000 All the other things come second, which is respect for privacy, accuracy, and fairness.
01:47:25.000 That's not journalism that that story's about.
01:47:28.000 That was activism.
01:47:30.000 It was an effective voice against transgender extremism and the abuse of government employees of schoolchildren, teachers.
01:47:38.000 And they they wanted and it was and it was having a political impact and they needed to get it taken down and the way to do it was suggest to a suggest misconduct and direct the accountability for that fake misconduct at an individual and everything else was secondary to that.
01:47:56.000 Right on.
01:47:56.000 We got Lon who says, this is for Seamus towards him doing the Biden shower dog cartoon.
01:48:02.000 Come on, man.
01:48:04.000 Maybe, yeah, maybe we're gonna have to do it.
01:48:06.000 If anyone, by the way, like I said, on Twitter, just please tweet the link at me if you have found the audio of Biden actually saying this, because I would love to have that accompany the animation.
01:48:18.000 Just use his actual voice.
01:48:20.000 I think your voice would work fine.
01:48:23.000 You're too kind.
01:48:24.000 Yeah, but it would be funny if he would just animate it over his own.
01:48:26.000 Yeah, that's what we did with our Corn Pop video.
01:48:28.000 Yeah, really good.
01:48:29.000 Thank you.
01:48:29.000 All right.
01:48:31.000 David C. Cronk Sr.
01:48:33.000 says, I just find it humorous that now we can pull audio out of context of Ian saying, I'm just picturing Joe Biden in a towel.
01:48:39.000 Nothing bad can come of that.
01:48:41.000 At least I can see the towel.
01:48:42.000 Yeah.
01:48:44.000 Troubling.
01:48:47.000 All right.
01:48:48.000 That's a good one.
01:48:49.000 There you go.
01:48:50.000 That's funny.
01:48:53.000 Okay.
01:48:54.000 Oh man, my nose, my allergies.
01:48:56.000 Get your water.
01:48:57.000 Angsta says, so Joe Biden hurt his ankle coming fresh out of the shower and lifting his dog's tail?
01:49:02.000 No wonder Major was abiding people, he was being abused.
01:49:06.000 Maybe.
01:49:07.000 I think Joe's embellishing, perhaps, I don't know.
01:49:11.000 All right, let's see.
01:49:12.000 Let's grab another one.
01:49:13.000 Let's just scroll down and see some super chats.
01:49:16.000 Brent Anderson says, for the Irish hobo, Who's who?
01:49:20.000 Who could he possibly be talking about?
01:49:21.000 Who is that?
01:49:22.000 I just want to point out that Seamus has Ireland behind him, but he's from Chicago.
01:49:25.000 That's true.
01:49:26.000 That's true.
01:49:26.000 Are you Irish, Tom?
01:49:27.000 But his name is Seamus.
01:49:28.000 Yeah, but look, it's not my fault.
01:49:30.000 I don't go around going, oh, Top of the Morning to you.
01:49:32.000 I'm an Irish lad.
01:49:33.000 Why don't you refer to me as one?
01:49:34.000 It's just people call me that.
01:49:35.000 It wasn't my choice.
01:49:36.000 It wasn't my decision.
01:49:37.000 I know.
01:49:37.000 I know.
01:49:38.000 Oh, he's a plastic Paddy.
01:49:39.000 He wasn't really born here.
01:49:41.000 I don't care.
01:49:41.000 I'm not telling people to call me this.
01:49:43.000 How come every Irish pub is called Paddy's?
01:49:47.000 Because it's actually one guy.
01:49:51.000 They'll never tell you that, but Paddy has monopolized.
01:49:54.000 Yeah, people don't know.
01:49:56.000 Also Irish guy.
01:49:57.000 No, but for real though, I mean, every time I go to an Irish pub, it's Paddy's.
01:50:01.000 There's a burger Paddy's too, but it's with the T. Is that the same?
01:50:06.000 You're asking too many questions.
01:50:08.000 Yeah, you can't ask that.
01:50:09.000 Patron saint of Ireland, that's why it's paid.
01:50:11.000 Aaron Royer says, we just cancelled our Netflix account and use the money to sign up at TimCast.com.
01:50:15.000 Keep up the great work.
01:50:16.000 I'm not going to tell you not to do that.
01:50:18.000 Yeah.
01:50:19.000 Because I would prefer to, as Jeremy Boring said, stop giving your money to people who hate you.
01:50:24.000 Give it to me instead.
01:50:25.000 Yes.
01:50:25.000 And that is brilliant.
01:50:27.000 Brilliant.
01:50:28.000 It's a great line.
01:50:29.000 That is good.
01:50:30.000 I'll say it again, you know.
01:50:32.000 We've seen so much of like, guys, cancel Hulu, cancel Disney, cancel Netflix, and everyone does, and then signs right back up later when a new show comes out.
01:50:39.000 So I'm like, that's not the issue.
01:50:40.000 The issue is, yes, cancel them, but they need somewhere to go.
01:50:44.000 So until we can say, leave Netflix and go to The Daily Wire, you know, I guess we can say that now, but The Daily Wire has like, what, three movies?
01:50:52.000 Yeah, I think they had four shows as of like a few weeks ago or three weeks ago.
01:50:56.000 I don't know, to be honest.
01:50:57.000 I really don't know.
01:50:58.000 They need more.
01:50:59.000 Yes, they do.
01:50:59.000 And once there's a big library, then you can be like, there you go.
01:51:02.000 There's your culture.
01:51:03.000 There's your entertainment.
01:51:04.000 I do think it's good if you want to cancel your Netflix account, not support them.
01:51:07.000 I don't have one.
01:51:08.000 I've never had one.
01:51:09.000 I'm just saying, I don't want to be... I want to make sure that you're still involved in the culture so that you can have influence in culture.
01:51:17.000 So that we can all say, that new show that's coming out called He's Expecting is dumb, and I don't want to watch it.
01:51:23.000 Yes, I know, Arnold was in a movie called Junior, where he was a pregnant man, and that was silly as well, making a new show about it, especially now, I'm just not interested in it.
01:51:32.000 But back then, that was also, I mean, that wasn't, I've never seen it, but it was intended to be satirical, as far as I understand.
01:51:37.000 I don't think they were trying to say men can actually have babies.
01:51:41.000 Well, this new show is basically about... With the new one, I'm talking about Arnold.
01:51:44.000 There's a big difference between Milton Berle in a dress and Drag Queen Story Hour.
01:51:48.000 But the new show, he's expecting, is not about trans men.
01:51:52.000 It's a fictional scripted show where some weird... No, it's a live action show where something happens where all of a sudden a man gets pregnant and freaks out.
01:52:02.000 Like, how is this possible?
01:52:03.000 And they're like, we don't know.
01:52:04.000 It's not an issue of someone being trans or anything like that.
01:52:06.000 It's a regular dude.
01:52:08.000 And it's very much like Junior.
01:52:10.000 And so I'm like, it's happened before.
01:52:13.000 I just think it's dumb, especially in today's context.
01:52:14.000 Yeah, I was going to say in the present cultural context, it definitely seems like they're trying to spread a different message.
01:52:19.000 And they do in the trailer do say cis and stuff like that.
01:52:22.000 We need more action movies that rely more on the actors than on the freaking spectacle.
01:52:27.000 Forget about the great graphics and crap.
01:52:29.000 We need good, powerful acting in action.
01:52:34.000 Itsy Bitsy Spider says 420 was the police code in California for a marijuana violation.
01:52:34.000 Let's see.
01:52:40.000 This was in use in the 90s.
01:52:41.000 The mo you know.
01:52:42.000 Is that true?
01:52:43.000 That sounds like it's not.
01:52:44.000 Sounds true.
01:52:45.000 I don't think it's true.
01:52:46.000 Yeah, I don't know if that's true.
01:52:49.000 I'm a fact checker on Twitter now.
01:52:51.000 So one of my fact checks is sounds true.
01:52:55.000 Yeah.
01:52:56.000 Joseph says, 401ks are a Ponzi scheme.
01:52:59.000 Is that true?
01:53:00.000 I don't think that's true.
01:53:01.000 Matter of opinion.
01:53:01.000 They just keep your money until it inflates and it becomes worth a tenth of it or something.
01:53:04.000 I'm not sure about that.
01:53:05.000 Social Security is, though.
01:53:06.000 Fact check, it's worse than that.
01:53:08.000 It's just you're paying in.
01:53:11.000 All right, let's grab some more.
01:53:13.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
01:53:14.000 says, Tim, man, we were so close to a once-again experience in the history of Timcast IRL.
01:53:19.000 The classic quote of, no, you're wrong, Ian, you're wrong.
01:53:22.000 That was good.
01:53:25.000 All right.
01:53:26.000 Speaking of being wrong, I just wanted to clarify that He's Expecting is based on a manga, the Netflix show.
01:53:31.000 You said it wasn't anime.
01:53:32.000 I said it was, well, my point was that it's based on some kind of Japanese show.
01:53:37.000 So it's not technically like some kind of leftist propaganda as such.
01:53:40.000 It's a weird story about a guy.
01:53:42.000 I mean, if you buy it, like if someone writes a story and then you're like, that fits my agenda, I'll take it.
01:53:47.000 Yeah.
01:53:48.000 What's the difference?
01:53:48.000 Yeah.
01:53:50.000 Liberation Matrix says, Tim has planned and begun on an apprenticeship internship program for the first-time workers to further promote healthy culture building for the youth.
01:53:58.000 Great opportunities through Freedomistan with this.
01:54:01.000 Oh, man.
01:54:03.000 We are building as fast as we can build, and it's not super easy, but I'd love to have some kind of internship thing.
01:54:10.000 You guys want to start a city?
01:54:11.000 I don't know if I'd call it internship.
01:54:12.000 I'd just be like, we'll hire some minimum-wage people to just, like, kind of hang out and do stuff and help us with, like, odd jobs.
01:54:18.000 Well, you know, I would recommend that you do internships because you can credential some good young folks for further work in the industry.
01:54:28.000 Interns are a great way to do that.
01:54:30.000 A lot of it is personality, so you get a chance to meet people and figure out if they work with the chemistry of the environment.
01:54:36.000 I mean you get the intern comes in and gets does work and he has a resume or she has a resume line that says you know I work for one of the top podcasters and internet personalities in the country.
01:54:48.000 I've had news organization whatever they want to say about it and they go on and do no you know you never I can't tell you I've been a long in in this business long enough to see interns be in positions of influence And it's gratifying to see, and it's important that if you're in the business that we're in, in terms of trying to educate and save the country, to get young people involved in the process.
01:55:10.000 So we launched a couple of original shows.
01:55:12.000 We hired people, and we've got these shows that we started.
01:55:16.000 But one thing that we want to do now is we've begun scouting out talent in cultural politics and entertainment.
01:55:24.000 So the idea is to find someone who seems to be passionate, working really, really hard, and is just not necessarily cracking that barrier and taking off.
01:55:35.000 So we're looking for people who already have a long history of content, proven talent, and then we want to basically fund shows and get them involved at Timcast.
01:55:44.000 Like buy their show and have Tim Cass launch it.
01:55:46.000 The intern thing is a debate, an ethical debate I've had at mines, particularly corporations in the past and now, that like, is it right to use, because you're basically using labor for free, which is like, I want to make sure they get paid, but what I'm going to say is you have to take into account political capital.
01:56:04.000 Capital isn't just money.
01:56:05.000 Capital is your ability to create as well.
01:56:06.000 I have to stop you.
01:56:07.000 You cannot legally have unpaid interns anymore since the past 10 years.
01:56:10.000 Okay, good, but you pay them very little?
01:56:12.000 Or minimum?
01:56:13.000 They have to be paid hourly wages.
01:56:15.000 Oh, minimum wage?
01:56:16.000 It depends on the program.
01:56:17.000 If it's an internship affiliated with the school, there may be rules about what you're able actually to do, because they're getting a benefit at the school that they can't get double.
01:56:26.000 But the thing about environments like this is you have an opportunity to create your career, which is worth way more than money.
01:56:32.000 Right, so unpaid interns cannot do anything that is considered a critical function in the company.
01:56:38.000 Good, I think that's righteous.
01:56:40.000 So that means if we had someone as an unpaid intern and then said, take the garbage out, can't do it.
01:56:44.000 Cool.
01:56:44.000 They can sit there, hang out and watch.
01:56:46.000 Maybe get the coffee, I guess.
01:56:48.000 But if you have them doing this essential function, that's where you get hit.
01:56:51.000 This happened 11 years ago, I think, or 12.
01:56:54.000 No, no, no.
01:56:54.000 Maybe it was like, maybe it was 10 years ago, nine years ago, actually.
01:56:57.000 I think it was around the time I was at Vice, Supreme Court ruled, and then all of a sudden Vice, like, just, I think this is what happened, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they got rid of, like, all of their interns, and all these people were devastated, because they were like, I'm at Vice, you know, I'm in line to get a job, and then they were like, Supreme Court ruling, everybody out, can't have you, and then a handful of them got, started getting wages, so they were like, I didn't get eliminated.
01:57:18.000 Yeah, but, you know, can't have unpaid people.
01:57:21.000 Can't do it.
01:57:22.000 I wouldn't, I wouldn't do that anyway.
01:57:23.000 I would, I would never have an unpaid position.
01:57:25.000 Yeah, unless they, like, got some other form of capital.
01:57:28.000 That doesn't seem right.
01:57:29.000 I suppose if people, uh, if we had an intern who literally just hung out and did nothing, you know, I wouldn't pay for that, but I wouldn't do that anyway.
01:57:37.000 Like, I'm not going to have people come over here and just sit around doing nothing.
01:57:40.000 But, uh, we could, we could, we could stand for, uh, a couple of people who literally just hang out and get paid minimum wage to do odds and ends.
01:57:46.000 Cause I was like, even if like you could make them famous, put someone on a TV show and make it the top, even that's not ethical to not pay someone because that's, I think that's Hollywood figured that out already.
01:57:55.000 You can't not pay people.
01:57:56.000 They want that job.
01:57:57.000 Doesn't mean you can't not pay them.
01:57:59.000 You can not pay them.
01:58:00.000 So they had to create a union to protect these people, these actors.
01:58:04.000 Consult your labor lawyer and get some interns.
01:58:06.000 All right, Tarkina Mayer says, is a YouTube TimCast IRL membership the same as a TimCast.com membership?
01:58:11.000 It is not.
01:58:13.000 TimCast.com is a website where you sign up and then you get access to the paywall and stuff.
01:58:19.000 We're also looking for opinion writers and analysis for paywalled content.
01:58:24.000 So if people want to read analysis and opinion articles, they have to pay for it.
01:58:28.000 But we want the news to always be free.
01:58:31.000 I don't want to have like a breaking news story like, you know, Washington Post docks at someone's private address, and then you're like, I need to read this, and it's locked.
01:58:38.000 That, that, nah.
01:58:39.000 We want that to, we want that to be free, but the challenge then is how do you pay for the journalists to write it?
01:58:44.000 It is a, it is a conundrum these days.
01:58:46.000 Basically, we're just like, I hope you guys like what we do enough to where you will be like, I'm gonna pay because it's good they're doing this work, and CNN is bad, and we don't like them.
01:58:57.000 So, you know, you do what you can.
01:59:00.000 We also have other strategies for monetizing the website.
01:59:02.000 One of the things I've never been a fan of is automated ads.
01:59:06.000 So we've been trying, we've been doing something for a while now.
01:59:09.000 You'll notice for those that don't use ad blockers, the ads on the website are for our own book, Tales from the Inverted World.
01:59:14.000 We're trying to just make our own products.
01:59:16.000 So, you know, InfoWars has their own health products.
01:59:19.000 I wouldn't go that far, you know, making like Timcast Megabrain or whatever.
01:59:24.000 No, but we'll do stuff that we're into like we wrote, you know, Shane Cashman wrote a book working for TimCast.com and we advertise.
01:59:30.000 We want to sell it.
01:59:31.000 Another book is coming out.
01:59:32.000 We want to sell it.
01:59:33.000 We could theoretically make our own 3D printed figurines and sell them.
01:59:37.000 I'm still laughing about TimCast Megabrain.
01:59:39.000 Please make it.
01:59:40.000 TimCast Megabrain?
01:59:41.000 Yeah.
01:59:41.000 Let's do it.
01:59:42.000 That'll be the one we do make.
01:59:44.000 Timcast Mega Break, get it now.
01:59:46.000 And you know.
01:59:48.000 You take the pills, then you have to put your beanie on, leave it on overnight for it to work.
01:59:52.000 Hot head.
01:59:53.000 That's right.
01:59:53.000 It stimulates your neurons.
01:59:54.000 Make one called Hot Head.
01:59:56.000 I don't care for any of those things, to be honest.
01:59:59.000 Like, you know, so we do reads for Biotrust, and it's simple.
02:00:02.000 I started doing keto a while ago.
02:00:04.000 I like it, the keto stuff.
02:00:06.000 I skate all the time and it's really intense and I like the collagen.
02:00:10.000 It's really simple.
02:00:10.000 I'm like, Hey, shout out Biotrust.
02:00:12.000 These are things I can actually understand and use.
02:00:14.000 But when it's like this blend of tree barks and flowers will like make your eyes, you know, bulge.
02:00:19.000 I'm just like.
02:00:20.000 Yeah.
02:00:20.000 I want to know exactly what it does chemically in your body before I start selling it personally.
02:00:25.000 Yeah, you know, we've talked about doing some stuff, like a protein MCT mix or something like that, but we want to have our own product, so right now we have books.
02:00:38.000 For what we do on the website, I'm not interested in weird ads from weird companies, so we want to move away from all of that, and we've mostly done that.
02:00:45.000 And we want to start making our own stuff, like the Daily Wire gave us the Truth Bomb.
02:00:48.000 I'm like, that's a great product.
02:00:50.000 It's literally just a paperweight, and it's a truth bomb.
02:00:52.000 It's great.
02:00:52.000 We need stuff like that.
02:00:53.000 Like, you know, crystals or whatever.
02:00:55.000 We'll just sell our own stuff.
02:00:56.000 You got me thinking.
02:00:57.000 All right, everybody, if you have not already, Beanie Brain.
02:00:59.000 That's what Luke said.

02:02:20.000 And as a special announcement, if you are someone listening and you have experience running a sandwich shop, send an email to spintheufo at gmail.com because we are planning on opening a sandwich shop and then a venue.
02:02:35.000 But I'm not kidding about that sandwich shop.
02:02:38.000 Maybe we'll have coffee.
02:02:39.000 Fresh bread.
02:02:41.000 Fresh bread.
02:02:41.000 Different kinds of bread.
02:02:42.000 Remember I told you about the man sandwich?
02:02:44.000 This is what I was saying.
02:02:45.000 That you walk in, and there's no frills, there's no BS, you're like, I'm a man, what kind of meat you want?
02:02:50.000 Roast beef, turkey, or, you know, ham?
02:02:52.000 I want turkey, done!
02:02:54.000 And they just, do your sandwiches there, like, we don't waste time here.
02:02:57.000 And they bang on the table the whole time.
02:02:59.000 And then, you know, the chips, it's like, potato chip, that's it, that's all you get.
02:03:03.000 You get potato chip, It's one flavor.
02:03:06.000 I got ideas, I'll tell you.
02:03:07.000 It's totally opposite of what you're talking about, so it's definitely gonna work.
02:03:10.000 I just want, like, a simple... I wanna open my own sandwich place because I love simple, healthy food.
02:03:16.000 I don't care for, like, the, give me the triple cheese, double bacon, chicken ranch.
02:03:20.000 I just like, dude, give me roast beef, tomato, lettuce, cheese.
02:03:22.000 Like, I love Jimmy John's.
02:03:24.000 So we want to do something like that, but we're also going to be opening a venue.
02:03:28.000 But we'll talk about it, because maybe we'll do coffee instead, because I also love coffee.
02:03:31.000 My family did own a coffee house at one point.
02:03:33.000 Coffee does rock.
02:03:34.000 Yeah, for a couple of years before we went out of business.
02:03:37.000 And so maybe that's what we should do.
02:03:38.000 We should bring that back, and then we will exclusively sell.
02:03:42.000 Crigler Coffee, ladies and gentlemen.
02:03:44.000 One of the best coffees in the world.
02:03:45.000 All right, everybody.
02:03:46.000 We'll see you all over at TimCast.com.
02:03:48.000 Thanks for hanging out.
