On today's show, we're joined by Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch and Seamus Coghlan, creator of Freedom Tunes, to talk about the latest in the Woke vs. Woke debate, including Disney's removal of their special-guaranteed franchise in Florida, the latest on the doxing scandal, and much, much more.
00:00:49.000But I have to be honest, the people who are password sharing probably wouldn't buy Netflix.
00:00:54.000They just be like, some might, I bet a lot won't.
00:00:57.000We'll see if they can recover from this.
00:00:58.000But 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.
00:01:09.000And 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.
00:01:17.000Tesla, of course, is doing better than ever.

00:04:58.000You know, we don't we don't have that issue that some of these other podcasters have where they get canceled and they lose all of their sponsors.
00:05:03.000But I can only say you reap what you sow, gentlemen.
00:05:34.000We're also working on building culture, like we've got a kids show that's going to be based on Chicken City, family content, because we want to bring people towards our sphere of influence, which is to convince them about personal responsibility, liberty, all of that good stuff.
00:06:09.000Florida Senate passes legislation ending Disney's tax privilege, self-governing power, and special exemption status.
00:06:17.000So 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.
00:06:29.000I want to say, the most important element of this story is that Disney decided to get woke.
00:06:35.000They 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.
00:06:44.000Well, now they are seeing that You reap what you sow.
00:06:48.000You want to come out, and you think that you can just adopt ideology.
00:07:31.000That's why we have a government in place is to protect us from these insidious things like corporate people, whatever.
00:07:36.000But Tom, when you came in here, you made a great point that how far is this going to go?
00:07:40.000How much authority should a government have to stop the private sector?
00:07:44.000Well, 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.
00:08:00.000And if you're a shareholder, you ought to be saying, why aren't you producing more and better product and increasing shareholder value?
00:08:11.000I mean, on that point, should the shareholders sue for a violation of the company's fiduciary duty?
00:08:17.000Well, 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.
00:08:26.000But secondly, though, you've got this special position that Disney has in Florida.
00:08:32.000It's been around since 1967, and they're talking about taking away some governance that benefits Disney corporate-wise, and arguably the state.
00:08:41.000And 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?
00:08:59.000And if it's the second one, the danger is that, look, the left almost always controls the leverage of power.
00:09:06.000So 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?
00:09:20.000Let's say in California they go after a defense contractor, or in New York they go after a gun manufacturer.
00:09:27.000Uh, and, uh, well, in fact, that's actually what's happening.
00:09:30.000They're already talking about doing that without any of this.
00:09:34.000And it's, and it's been consistently people who oppose the cult wokeness fringe ideology who have been getting attacked.
00:09:43.000This is like the first time Republicans are like, okay, you know what?
00:09:47.000We're not going to tolerate you getting into this.
00:09:49.000And to be clear, I'm not saying I oppose what Florida did.
00:09:52.000I'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.
00:10:05.000And, you know, Florida is making a policy decision.
00:10:07.000They got this major corporation that's decided to take the benefits they're getting from the public and target school children.
00:10:16.000And so that's the reaction you're going to get from the elected representatives of the public.
00:10:21.000Well, 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.
00:10:29.000I don't think it's as bad as you might be making it seem, whether it's intention or not.
00:10:34.000This is Disney, who has no business in education policy, deciding to come out because a fringe faction of activists at their company complained.
00:10:44.000They ignore the activists at the company who are like, we don't want to be involved in this.
00:10:48.000If a gun company in New York said, we're going to lobby for gun rights, I'd be like, that makes sense.
00:10:55.000If Disney said, we're going to lobby for entertainment rights and special privileges, I'd be like, okay, well, that makes sense.
00:11:02.000If 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.
00:11:09.000If they said, our mission is to defeat this, I'd be like, you're a gun company.
00:11:25.000Disney has been attempting to educate kids since the inception of the company.
00:11:29.000They 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.
00:11:36.000And there's tons of YouTube videos about it, conspiracy or whatever.
00:11:40.000But that's the basic indoctrination of children is cartoons on TV.
00:12:04.000If 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.
00:12:14.000I mean, hey, you want to bring Disney to heel, this is how you do it.
00:12:19.000And 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.
00:12:38.000So for all the caution, let's be clear here.
00:12:42.000Disney is engaged by their own admission in pushing propaganda on young children that parents would reject and taxpayers want no part of in Florida.
00:12:54.000This wouldn't be happening if the politicians didn't think our voters don't, you know, want this.
00:13:00.000And 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.
00:13:15.000I agree with a lot of what you said, and I agree with what you're saying now.
00:13:18.000They essentially want to use their platform to push and normalize perverse sexual lifestyle choices onto children.
00:13:24.000On top of that, they have sex abuse scandals.
00:13:27.000We know that they have hired people who were convicted of child sex abuse in the past on the Disney Channel, specifically.
00:13:37.000Oh, 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.
00:13:58.000And then there was also, if you just look at these memes, every few months they arrest child traffickers at Disney.
00:14:05.000Well, I mean, of course these people are going to want to work there, right?
00:14:08.000They want to get access to kids, and Disney apparently doesn't do enough screening to stop them.
00:14:12.000Or they're not paying attention to the trafficking that's occurring under their noses.
00:14:15.000You know, we're all concerned about critical race theory in the schools, but at least there's like political accountability there in theory.
00:14:22.000So everything you're concerned about in the schools is already happening on the Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and it's all targeted very young children.
00:14:31.000The far left is taking control of children's programming, and it isn't just reading, writing, and arithmetic, teaching kids how to read.
00:14:38.000It'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.
00:14:56.000And 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.
00:15:33.000When someone's in a cult, To get them out of the cult, you have to separate them from cult members and deprogram them.
00:15:39.000But with the existing woke cult, it's right there in the palm of their hands.
00:15:44.000Every 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.
00:15:50.000And the most vulnerable is the children.
00:15:53.000I'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.
00:16:07.000In 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.
00:16:25.000And they also explained, they didn't link to, they explained how to get their private phone number.
00:16:32.000So they said, you know, the phone record is found here associated with this domain, which took me two seconds to just Google.
00:16:45.000They just told you, gave you the instructions, the name you need to look for with the thing to find it.
00:16:50.000And so this one's really frustrating because I'm seeing many prominent left-wing personalities just go, they never linked to any private details.
00:16:57.000I'm seeing the Washington Post say, we never linked to private details.
00:17:00.000And I'm like, yo, these people are in a cult.
00:17:01.000Well, 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.
00:17:08.000Well, 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!
00:17:17.000And I'm like, I don't think you watch my show.
00:17:18.000I don't think you know who our followers are.
00:17:25.000You can only give them advice and guidance, but everyone has to make their own choice.
00:17:29.000We don't have followers who do that stuff.
00:17:31.000I 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.
00:17:38.000In fact, you know, I told the guy, I think doxing the name of lives of TikTok was wrong.
00:17:43.000And he's like, you mean to tell me that if you got the name of some Antifa account, you wouldn't publish the name?
00:18:11.000When 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.
00:18:50.000You 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.
00:19:03.000You know, Judicial Watch, you know, we're a nonprofit.
00:19:57.000So 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.
00:20:05.000It also means you can't engage in overtly political activity.
00:20:09.000Uh, it generally means that we can't endorse or oppose candidates.
00:20:13.000And, you know, I can talk about politics, but I can't, you know, say vote for Republicans or Democrats.
00:20:18.000Can you say who you're gonna vote for?
00:20:20.000I could in my personal capacity, but I choose not to generally because of the nature of our work, because we end up suing everyone.
00:20:28.000I 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.
00:20:38.000And then when they realized they did, they pulled it down.
00:20:55.000Then the Washington Post said we didn't link to private information.
00:20:58.000They are just lying on top of lies because they are not good people.
00:21:02.000Don'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.
00:21:20.000Only 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.
00:21:26.000It's a thing I've heard in the past, so maybe.
00:21:39.000But 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.
00:21:48.000I 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.
00:22:29.000You tell a journalist something explicitly like, I reject and refuse, I completely reject racism, it is completely wrong, and I oppose these racist organizations.
00:22:43.000Instead of quoting you, if they want to get a narrative, they will say, when asked about their racist ties, they became belligerent.
00:23:26.000And they'll say, he literally said those words.
00:23:28.000And when you were like, I was quoting someone else, they'll be like, you can't sue him over it.
00:23:32.000It's a statement of fact that said you said it.
00:23:35.000And you can be like, yeah, but I wasn't referring to that way, but you did it.
00:23:38.000It'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.
00:23:50.000And I messaged him and I was like, I saw you wrote that.
00:23:52.000And like, this guy's got a, his wife's like, you know, Asian mixed race.
00:24:15.000He 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.
00:24:29.000Another 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.
00:24:39.000And then the host will be like, hmm, if they have an agenda.
00:24:42.000So you need an ethical host to keep everything ordered.
00:25:08.000You know, generally talking to the media is a bad idea.
00:25:12.000I 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.
00:25:29.000And it's tricky because Judicial Watch, our goal is to educate people, so I want the word out everywhere.
00:25:36.000But, you know, when it comes to the media, it's been so corrupted, we can't play their game anymore.
00:25:43.000And 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.
00:25:57.000And I'm confused by this, but I don't give these people the benefit of the doubt anymore.
00:26:02.000Because there's a few people that I've actually DM'd with.
00:26:05.000And 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.
00:26:13.000We don't need to argue whether it was Libs of TikTok's private home address.
00:26:17.000Regardless, it was a private contact address for the individual.
00:26:46.000White 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.
00:26:58.000Saki 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.
00:27:15.000Quote, this is a political wedge issue and an attempt to win a culture war, Psaki said as she began audibly weeping.
00:27:22.000And they're doing that in a way that is harsh and cruel to a community of kids.
00:27:26.000I'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.
00:27:35.000And you look at some of these laws in these states and it's going after parents who are in loving relationships who have kids.
00:27:52.000So first of all, the New York Post should not be calling it LGBTQ legislation.
00:27:56.000New 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.
00:28:11.000It's just orientation, which could be straight or not.
00:28:14.000In which case, it is just legislation on sex ed.
00:28:22.000Look, we are well past the point where I'm going to assume Jen Psaki doesn't know what this bill is.
00:28:30.000She's crying crocodile tears to manipulate people.
00:28:33.000Because 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.
00:28:45.000So, 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.
00:29:31.000First 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.
00:29:40.000As we're talking about it, I'm thinking Hitler's girlfriend probably cried when he killed himself.
00:29:43.000Like, yeah, crying emotional doesn't mean you're right.
00:29:46.000People get emotional about evil if they're on the side of evil.
00:29:52.000I've watched murderers cry in videos like they're in a criminal trial and they're crying.
00:29:56.000I 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.
00:30:54.000Donald Trump was funny and he talked in a funny way.
00:30:56.000You 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.
00:31:06.000Like, if that absolves him of being wrong.
00:31:13.000Donald 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.
00:31:20.000You're talking about an old report that's since been debunked.
00:34:45.000He said he was running down an alleyway.
00:34:47.000So 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.
00:34:58.000But yeah, he's basically saying he got out of the Got out of the shower his dog had a boss.
00:35:03.000He started I just want you to imagine this right?
00:35:19.000Originally I thought he climbed out of the shower naked.
00:35:23.000He probably slipped in the shower and broke his foot.
00:35:25.000And now he's created this stupid story.
00:35:27.000And 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.
00:35:31.000Longtime journalist Ron Kessler reported that the Secret Service complained about Biden's swimming habits as being wildly inappropriate.
00:36:01.000It might have just been something he said to a reporter that was quoted in the press and wasn't actually filmed.
00:36:07.000The reason I think he's- If y'all can find it, send it to me.
00:36:09.000I 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?
00:36:17.000It was completely irrelevant to the story.
00:36:18.000So obviously it was part of the story.
00:36:21.000The bigger the story, the bigger the lie.
00:38:25.000putting 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.
00:39:11.000in 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.
00:39:29.000When people come out and they're like, hey, we don't want teachers talking to kids about these adult matters.
00:39:34.000It's the left, specifically, that freaks out and says, we're being attacked by the right.
00:39:38.000And I'm like, 60% of Democrats agree with these bills in Florida and these other states that kids should not be taught this stuff.
00:39:44.000But you've got Big Mouth, is that the show's name?
00:40:50.000No, there's absolutely no way I'll ever have not Netflix subscription.
00:40:54.000Um, 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.
00:41:07.000And that's why it's radical on the left.
00:41:09.000They don't have the moral foundation of purity.
00:41:12.000Yeah, that's one of the reasons, yeah.
00:41:14.000For those that aren't familiar with the moral foundations, man, I always try to get them off the top of my head.
00:41:17.000There's care, fairness, loyalty, purity, liberty, and... There's one more we can never remember.
00:41:45.000And 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.
00:43:34.000I 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.
00:43:47.000So 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.
00:43:55.000Yeah, 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.
00:44:10.000So 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.
00:44:59.000And 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.
00:45:18.000They want to tear us away from any competitor to their revolution.
00:45:23.000Tear us away from religion, from family, from private entities, business.
00:45:30.000And 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.
00:45:42.000They'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.
00:45:49.000And anything that gets in the way of that, any tradition or even biology, they want to destroy.
00:45:56.000These are dangerous revolutionary times.
00:45:59.000Using the word Robespierre, that figure, it's not inappropriate.
00:46:05.000Yeah, well, I'll take it even further and be more clear about it.
00:46:09.000It's not just that they want to have these conversations about sex with children.
00:46:25.000I actually think schools should teach religion.
00:46:27.000I think there should be like religious studies.
00:46:30.000That's not to say they should tell kids, you should be this religion.
00:46:33.000They should just be like, as part of our social studies class, like we're gonna learn about various religions.
00:46:38.000But to the extent that they're allowed to do it, I wonder.
00:46:41.000Because you can't have, you can't teach the Bible in these schools.
00:46:45.000So, I jokingly tweeted, I half-jokingly was like, we should have religion studies, kids have questions, teachers should be allowed to give answers.
00:46:52.000If 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?
00:46:59.000Well, of course the left would flip out if that was the case.
00:47:02.000Then I added, teachers should also tell the kids to keep it a secret from their parents.
00:47:09.000Well, I don't think the schools are capable of doing that.
00:47:11.000The left would never allow it to happen.
00:47:13.000My view is that you have to think about uberizing education.
00:47:21.000That you find out who's available to give your children the instruction they need.
00:47:26.000You may not be able to do it through your own homeschooling program.
00:47:29.000But you have individuals out there who say, you want this taught?
00:47:34.000You want a third grade education for your child?
00:47:37.000Pay me for three months and we'll get it done under your supervision and guidance and you'll know what's being taught.
00:47:43.000Because 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.
00:48:12.000And I think child predators saw that they could weasel their way in with the left.
00:48:17.000They tried it by doing the LGBTP thing.
00:48:20.000The left rejected that initially and they were like, no, no, now you've got the MAP thing, Minor Attracted Persons.
00:48:26.000People 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.
00:48:33.000The only option is to get people on the left to agree.
00:48:38.000I 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.
00:48:49.000Another good way to care about that kid is to teach him how to fish.
00:48:52.000Now that kid can go and take care of himself.
00:48:57.000And make basically a slave out of him to you?
00:49:00.000Or to teach him how to become independent?
00:49:01.000Both people, people will tell you that both of them are types of caring.
00:49:05.000But getting too emotionally invested in it, I think, is where things can start to get twisted.
00:49:09.000So, you would need a combination when dealing with a child, right?
00:49:12.000So, 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.
00:49:21.000That said, I think when you look at care and fairness, as I mentioned earlier, you can call anything caring or anything fair.
00:50:21.000But no, that's actually, it's interesting you do mention the different kinds of love because our culture, we just use one word.
00:50:27.000For 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.
00:50:42.000The reason why I didn't want to derail into this philosophical argument is it was literally about LGBTQ pride.
00:50:48.000The stickers on Snapchat was about LGBTQ issues and it included love has no age.
00:52:02.000Well, 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.
00:52:15.000But 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.
00:52:26.000So what else would you, if you hated children, what would you do?
00:52:30.000Well, you'd traumatize them with sex talk.
00:53:03.000Sets 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.
00:53:14.000Ed Renzi, who served as a CEO of McDonald's in the 1990s, is partnering with conservative groups to fight back against woke corporations.
00:53:25.000A partnership between the Job Creators Network, the Free Enterprise Group, and Second Vote.
00:53:30.000The goal of the group is to protect shareholders and employers of publicly traded companies from woke policies and ensure corporate accountability.
00:53:37.000It 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.
00:53:44.000Companies are also being forced to the left so they can receive high ESG score, which would make them more profitable.
00:53:51.000I 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.
00:54:05.000Well, 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.
00:55:00.000So I think the conservatives have to understand that corporations are largely controlled by the left.
00:55:06.000And they're misusing and abusing our funds.
00:55:10.000And 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.
00:55:28.000That'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.
00:55:38.000Conservatives are getting aided now in the culture war by post-liberals, people who were very much involved in culture and arts.
00:55:48.000But 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.
00:55:58.000One of the challenges we face in all of this is there are still people who don't realize the shift and what has happened.
00:56:04.000So you still hear these old talking points about Republicans are pro-corporation.
00:56:08.000It's like, haven't you been around for the past five years where the conservatives were saying regulate big tech because of censorship?
00:56:42.000I don't want more regulation of Twitter.
00:56:44.000I 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.
00:56:54.000Same goes for Facebook and Google and YouTube.
00:56:56.000They're lying when they're saying they're applying neutral principles.
00:56:59.000And there's an algorithm that can't be messed with.
00:57:04.000And it should be investigated as such, the way that the oil companies were being investigated for, quote, lying about climate change, which was bunk.
00:57:13.000But we've got to enforce the law against these companies.
00:57:16.000If 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.
00:57:45.000Three, four months later, they locked me out of my account for posting the same darn tweet.
00:57:51.000I mean, they're lying when they're saying they're doing things neutrally in a way that could survive scrutiny.
00:57:56.000If they would survive scrutiny, we should rely on Elon Musk to get the documents out.
00:58:01.000I think that's an opportunity for him to demand those documents as a shareholder.
00:58:05.000It 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.
00:58:14.000Because 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.
00:58:25.000So we need everyone to go after it together.
00:58:27.000And maybe not, that's obviously hyperbole, but we need enough people pushing against these corporations for their fraud narrative, if there is such.
00:58:35.000The spirit of the United States is decentralized movement.
00:58:53.000I know Judicial Watch uncovered that they were taking material down at the behest of government agencies, our material, other material.
00:59:00.000So, 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.
00:59:16.000And, yes, they want to jail us, as James O'Keefe has found, as those being targeted by the January 6th Committee is finding.
00:59:24.000I 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.
00:59:35.000They want to jail their political opponents.
00:59:38.000This is a revolutionary period, and our republic is tottering.
00:59:44.000I wanted to ask you something about the instance you brought up with the White House actually instructing social media companies to censor certain things.
00:59:55.000My 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.
01:00:04.000Well, you know, there's always legal loopholes.
01:00:05.000The question is, are you going to have individuals in positions of power to do something about it, actually exercise all their prerogatives?
01:00:14.000So, for instance, President Trump was impeached for no good reason.
01:00:18.000There are plenty of good reasons to impeach Biden.
01:00:20.000And I'm not seeing Republican leadership talking about that in any significant way.
01:00:26.000The Justice Department is controlled by Joe Biden.
01:00:29.000The opportunities, it seems to me, in terms of enforcement against these companies is at the state level.
01:00:34.000And, you know, Ron DeSantis is taking some leadership roles there.
01:00:38.000There are some more aggressive attorney generals at the state level as well who understand going after Twitter in Texas, demanding documents.
01:00:46.000They're in a big document fight with Twitter about their censorship policies.
01:02:22.000Are 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?
01:02:31.000Are we doing what we can do at the state level?
01:02:32.000Are you active individually with your party?
01:02:35.000If these issues concern you, are you communicating with your elected officials and your friends and your colleagues?
01:02:43.000Are you participating in the party mechanics?
01:02:45.000You 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.
01:02:53.000And then once they're elected, we need men and women of ambition who understand their role in history.
01:02:58.000And to protect our republic and to say we're not turning over the reins of our government to unelected bureaucracies.
01:03:07.000We'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.
01:03:16.000It'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.
01:03:29.000You mentioned... They're all responsible.
01:03:31.000You mentioned January 6th, and we do have this story which just came out a couple hours ago.
01:03:34.000On Twitter, everyone is... people are saying that Alex Jones has flipped.
01:03:39.000According to the New York Times, Alex Jones reached out to the Justice Department about
01:03:43.000a January 6th interview. They say that through his lawyer, Mr. Jones said he has given the
01:03:47.000government a formal letter conveying his desire to speak to federal prosecutors.
01:03:52.000The lawyer, Norm Pattis, maintained that Mr. Jones had not engaged in any criminal wrongdoing that day when chanting slogans about 1776.
01:03:59.000As 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.
01:04:11.000The 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!
01:04:20.000I'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.
01:04:26.000He's not going to get immunity from prosecution.
01:04:28.000First 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.
01:04:38.000The 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.
01:04:49.000And, 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.
01:05:02.000They don't give out, typically, immunity for crimes.
01:05:07.000So, 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.
01:05:28.000He's flipping, oh man, he's there, he's gonna rat on Trump.
01:05:32.000Yeah, that's the crazy talk, that there's something to flip over.
01:05:36.000So 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.
01:05:51.000These people, it's how are you going to get them on trespassing?
01:05:55.000How are you going to get them on, you know, trespassing in the Capitol if they're invited in?
01:06:12.000So 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.
01:06:29.000So we're going to see the people who are violent get charged.
01:06:31.000We're going to see the people who are let in.
01:06:32.000Probably a lot of these people are going to start getting, you know, not guilty pleas or not guilty verdicts.
01:06:38.000But 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.
01:07:09.000And none of the records, they're not public records.
01:07:12.000And even if they were, the public interest doesn't require their release.
01:07:15.000So it's the worst day in American history.
01:07:17.000But there's no public interest in releasing the records.
01:07:20.000So, you know, in my experience, when you don't want to release one second of video, even voluntarily, what are you hiding?
01:07:28.000And 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?
01:07:42.000And I suspect we're going to find out that's the case.
01:08:02.000He 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.
01:08:46.000You know, the agents were attacked for complaining about being attacked by dogs.
01:08:50.000We 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.
01:11:17.000So the issue is, to a certain degree, globalization is not a bad thing.
01:11:22.000The bad thing is the authoritarian takeover and the destruction of our sovereignty.
01:11:27.000You 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.
01:11:38.000The problem is, the World Economic Forum doesn't like our values.
01:11:41.000The Davos Group doesn't like our values.
01:11:43.000The values they want for the world are more like China's.
01:12:01.000In the world of the globalization as it's colloquially understood is Chinese-style social credit systems.
01:12:09.000We 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.
01:12:18.000Do you think we're really ever going to end war?
01:12:20.000So, 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.
01:12:30.000Obviously, Ukraine and Russia right now, there's hot war.
01:12:33.000But will we break past that point where it is just not economically feasible or worth going to war?
01:12:41.000Instead, you'll see shady dealings, soft power, manipulation, or fifth generational warfare.
01:12:47.000So 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.
01:12:58.000Well, you know, this is, this is, uh, Ukraine is kind of the, uh, highlights that war is a feature of the human condition.
01:13:05.000And, 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.
01:14:08.000I'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.
01:14:17.000And to me, the result is death and destruction in Ukraine.
01:14:23.000Yeah, man, that's why integrity is so important as an individual and as a nation, all of it.
01:14:26.000Because if you are no longer, your word is no longer good, no one's going to take you seriously.
01:14:32.000We had documents, I love these documents we found because, you know, I go back to them all the time.
01:14:36.000And there were these documents just before Biden, just before Trump came in, Biden went and visited Ukraine.
01:14:42.000And the two top State Department officials in Ukraine are talking about his visit, the anti-corruption visit.
01:14:47.000And these were the two officials who testified against Trump.
01:14:51.000And 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.
01:15:02.000And they said that the Russians were trolling Biden and the State Department guy goes, Burisma is the gift that keeps on giving.
01:15:11.000So, you know, we've got the State Department telling themselves they're making fun of our country.
01:15:18.000Our foreign policy objective, let's say neutrally, was to stop corruption in Ukraine was being hampered by the vice president's family corruption.
01:15:26.000And we're supposed to forget that when Ukraine is invaded four years later.
01:15:31.000I think when Obama said never, what is this about?
01:15:34.000Never, never overlooked Biden's, Joe's ability to screw something up.
01:15:58.000Yeah, the challenge we face internally is tribalism.
01:16:02.000There are people who have built careers off pandering, and they won't give it up.
01:16:05.000It'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.
01:16:20.000Ben Shapiro will be like, Joe Biden was engaged in corrupt behavior in Ukraine, and I'm like... Okay, gang.
01:16:32.000And I'm sitting here, and I'm like, he's completely right.
01:16:35.000And 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.
01:16:42.000But if we agree on the facts, that's what's happening.
01:16:45.000Any sane, reasonable person knows Joe Biden is crooked and doing crooked things.
01:16:51.000I mean, flying his son in Air Force Two to China for a private equity deal.
01:16:54.000Why are you using our resources for that?
01:16:56.000But you'll get these people on the left who are just like, didn't happen.
01:17:51.000So, you know, and what happens is these politicians run on battling corruption in Washington, D.C., of both parties, and then they get here.
01:18:50.000They tried passing this law to bump him and another individual off the ballot by saying they didn't live there long enough.
01:18:56.000Turns out, Robbie actually did live in this district long enough.
01:19:00.000Now I guess they're claiming he's not a Republican.
01:19:03.000Robbie 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.
01:19:14.000Their candidacy was challenged earlier this month, triggering a vote by the state election committee.
01:19:18.000According 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.
01:19:26.000Quote, The idea that I am not a Republican is most offensive, because if I am not, who the hell is?
01:19:33.000Starbuck, 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.
01:19:48.000He was also endorsed by US Senator Rand Paul in 2021.
01:19:52.000Starbuck largely attributed the party's vote to institutional corruption, believing that Republican leaders in the state would prefer a controllable rhino.
01:21:54.000And before you know it, you're the county chair.
01:21:57.000Before you know it, you're on the state executive committee of the party.
01:22:00.000And 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.
01:22:48.000They're just lying, saying he's not a Republican so that they can boot him off the ballot.
01:22:52.000Well, every Republican needs to figure out how to organize.
01:22:55.000Every 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.
01:23:04.000Because I'll tell you what the left would do.
01:23:07.000You 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.
01:23:27.000I 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.
01:23:34.000Like 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.
01:23:42.000Volunteer 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.
01:23:52.000I mean, you know, the unions, you know, they don't get hired.
01:23:56.000They make it a point to get hired to count votes.
01:23:59.000Well, Republicans and conservatives should make it a point to be hired and count votes.
01:24:04.000That's the way to ensure that elections are more fairly run.
01:24:08.000Actually count the votes, according to the law.
01:24:11.000At the time, we have a corporation tallying the votes in private, which is dominion for the last presidential election, which is incredibly disturbing.
01:24:18.000I 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.
01:24:54.000Before 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.
01:25:15.000Every single line is available for public viewing.
01:25:17.000I 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.
01:25:27.000Honestly, 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.
01:25:36.000No, no, because remember when Democrats were screaming there was going to be fraud in the election, like in 2019 or something?
01:25:43.000They were like, we gotta do something about this.
01:25:45.000And then they all started shutting up.
01:25:46.000When 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.
01:25:54.000And the Republican is going to be like, no, no, fix it, fix it.
01:26:00.000Well, 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.
01:26:11.000And, you know, we want these companies to be neutral, right?
01:26:14.000And it seems to me they've thrown down the gauntlet on one side of the political narrative when it comes to our elections.
01:26:20.000And I would be very suspicious, whether their code works or not, about letting them work in any states.
01:26:25.000Yeah, the thing that they're going after is people claiming that they're fraudulent.
01:26:30.000I'm claiming that I can't see the code, so I don't know if it's fraudulent or not.
01:26:33.000Well, 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?
01:26:49.000If the code works, illegal votes will be counted accurately.
01:26:56.000That's not going to solve the problem.
01:26:58.000I'm not, I'm not... The issue is so much deeper than just, I guess, I suppose, illegal voting.
01:27:05.000Because you can track those things down.
01:27:06.000But 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.
01:27:18.000All that matters is we know Texas will be blue, and Texas can effectively stuff the Electoral College ballot by bringing in non-citizens.
01:27:25.000You 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.
01:27:41.000Whether it's exact or not, the winner won.
01:27:43.000And right now, half the country doesn't think that's the system.
01:27:47.000And 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
01:28:13.000But 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.
01:28:29.000And when people don't have confidence in the system, the system collapses.
01:28:48.000Like, they're basically just all exposed and open.
01:28:51.000And, 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.
01:28:58.000Would you be comfortable, like, chilling in there and leaving your stuff and going to bed?
01:29:02.000You'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.
01:29:09.000Because you'd be like, I'm not okay with this.
01:29:11.000It's not an issue of whether or not someone did or, or is in the act of committing an illegal act.
01:29:16.000It's that, why would you want to participate in an insecure system?
01:29:20.000Like, hey, come crash at my house while you're in Chicago.
01:29:23.000The 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.
01:29:29.000Or 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.
01:29:36.000And the teller doesn't keep any records of who gave it to the money and where the money is supposed to be going.
01:29:40.000You know, you have to have a system in place that survives basic scrutiny.
01:30:13.000And the courts have found, interestingly, Tim, that you don't need to prove fraud in order to justify these rules.
01:30:19.000It'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.
01:30:28.000So 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.
01:30:43.000Well, it doesn't work if non-citizens can get that type of voter ID that allows them to vote.
01:30:50.000I 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.
01:31:02.000The difficult thing with the story on Julian Assange is I called it a political execution.
01:31:06.000What 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.
01:31:20.000There's that thing where Hilary Clinton was like, can we just drown the guy?
01:31:25.000But 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.
01:31:48.000I think the Justice Department and the FBI are irredeemably corrupt.
01:31:51.000And that means that even charges against people who may have done something wrong, especially in a political context, can't be trusted.
01:31:59.000And 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.
01:32:09.000The liberal economic order really changed this country.
01:32:12.000Now they're using it as the spearhead of a global military force, and it's like, be damned the consequences.
01:32:18.000He exposed collateral murder with WikiLeaks, and you see these helicopter pilots laughing as they're blowing up civilians.
01:32:24.000They were joking with each other, and like, go get them, yeah, yeah.
01:32:29.000I 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.
01:32:36.000For better or worse, I don't know, man.
01:34:07.000All 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?
01:34:28.000So, 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.
01:34:38.000The 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.
01:34:49.000So 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.
01:36:14.000But what we need to do, instead of telling everybody, cancel your Disney, cancel your Netflix, we should be like, start making shows.
01:36:23.000Start becoming members of channels and companies that you do like, like TimCast or like Daily Wire.
01:36:31.000So, our mobile app is coming out soon.
01:36:35.000So, we're first testing iPhone, then we gotta test Android.
01:36:39.000Then 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.
01:36:50.000So, 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.
01:37:10.000So you are supporting, you know, someone who competes against those entities.
01:37:16.000When 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.
01:37:26.000Waffle 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.
01:37:54.000You'll find out how many people can cause, you know, there's a town every three minutes.
01:37:59.000Well, out here in West Virginia, the issue is they use the town as the postal identifier, but there's no there's no town.
01:38:05.000It's like a random house in an unincorporated part of the state.
01:38:09.000Scott Odom says, Tim, even if the buildings aren't up to code, they're grandfathered in as existing buildings.
01:38:14.000But if they ever remodel, they're in trouble.
01:38:17.000Well, that will be really interesting.
01:38:20.000Jason Belch or is it Bellic? Sorry. I'm a member and 25 year coder and technologist
01:38:25.000Which email do I use to talk to you guys about possibly working together members pitches? I think spin the UFO
01:38:32.000So we have a lot of super chats asking about Gonzalo Lira and a lot of super chats
01:38:41.000But 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.
01:38:52.000He 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.
01:39:03.000And 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.
01:39:36.000You 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.
01:39:52.000We had a big fight in Maryland over that.
01:39:53.000We just we beat back Maryland's Democrat supermajority court, found it to be extreme partisanship, and we won.
01:40:01.000You 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.
01:40:33.000I would say, firstly, It's a system which is set up to have a person continue to exist within the system.
01:40:41.000So a lot of young people become teachers and it's basically because they've never really considered going out and doing something else.
01:40:48.000Also, maybe this is a little more cynical and I'd probably like to flesh this out more.
01:40:53.000I 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.
01:41:01.000So 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.
01:41:13.000So 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.
01:42:10.000So 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.
01:42:50.000We 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.
01:43:00.000I think it's unreasonable to tell people, stop watching, you know, this show or that show if you like it, because people want entertainment.
01:43:07.000What we need to do is compete and win.
01:43:08.000That being said, there's great reasons to avoid Disney, absolutely.
01:43:14.000I think we also don't want to isolate ourselves from the culture, which is why we have Pop Culture Crisis on Timcast.
01:43:19.000It'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.
01:43:32.000And part of it is, I just absolutely love Doctor Strange and want to see the movie.
01:43:36.000So, 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.
01:44:24.000You know, I joke about Chicken City making a bunch of money and being so successful, but you need to understand.
01:44:29.000We just made a minute-long little short, which is totally family-friendly, and it's like Looney Tunes-style comedy.
01:44:37.000This is a family-friendly show where we're going to get people, you know, parents and their kids watching this stuff.
01:44:44.000We're going to be pulling them towards our sphere of influence.
01:44:47.000So, 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.
01:45:02.000Then 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.
01:45:10.000We 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.
01:45:17.000It's like, no, no, go in there, shake their hands, talk to them and be like, what do you think?
01:46:06.000But you got to do a little bit more than that.
01:46:07.000That's why we basically have one political show, which is this.
01:46:11.000And 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.
01:46:19.000They have an alternative to Disney or Netflix.
01:46:21.000And 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.
01:46:27.000Or Eric Weinstein's theory of geometric unity.
01:46:30.000Open invite, Eric, if you want to come on some Friday.
01:47:30.000It was an effective voice against transgender extremism and the abuse of government employees of schoolchildren, teachers.
01:47:38.000And 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.
01:48:04.000Maybe, yeah, maybe we're gonna have to do it.
01:48:06.000If 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.
01:50:32.000We'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.
01:50:40.000The issue is, yes, cancel them, but they need somewhere to go.
01:50:44.000So 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?
01:50:52.000Yeah, I think they had four shows as of like a few weeks ago or three weeks ago.
01:51:09.000I'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.
01:51:17.000So 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.
01:51:23.000Yes, 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.
01:51:32.000But 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.
01:51:37.000I don't think they were trying to say men can actually have babies.
01:51:41.000Well, this new show is basically about... With the new one, I'm talking about Arnold.
01:51:44.000There's a big difference between Milton Berle in a dress and Drag Queen Story Hour.
01:51:48.000But the new show, he's expecting, is not about trans men.
01:51:52.000It'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.
01:53:50.000Liberation 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.
01:53:58.000Great opportunities through Freedomistan with this.
01:54:11.000I don't know if I'd call it internship.
01:54:12.000I'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.
01:54:18.000Well, you know, I would recommend that you do internships because you can credential some good young folks for further work in the industry.
01:54:30.000A 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.
01:54:36.000I 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.
01:54:48.000I'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.
01:55:10.000So we launched a couple of original shows.
01:55:12.000We hired people, and we've got these shows that we started.
01:55:16.000But one thing that we want to do now is we've begun scouting out talent in cultural politics and entertainment.
01:55:24.000So 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.
01:55:35.000So 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.
01:55:44.000Like buy their show and have Tim Cass launch it.
01:55:46.000The 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.
01:56:17.000If 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.
01:56:26.000But the thing about environments like this is you have an opportunity to create your career, which is worth way more than money.
01:56:32.000Right, so unpaid interns cannot do anything that is considered a critical function in the company.
01:56:54.000Maybe it was like, maybe it was 10 years ago, nine years ago, actually.
01:56:57.000I 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.
01:57:18.000Yeah, but, you know, can't have unpaid people.
01:57:29.000I 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.
01:57:37.000Like, I'm not going to have people come over here and just sit around doing nothing.
01:57:40.000But, 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.
01:57:46.000Cause 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.
01:58:13.000TimCast.com is a website where you sign up and then you get access to the paywall and stuff.
01:58:19.000We're also looking for opinion writers and analysis for paywalled content.
01:58:24.000So if people want to read analysis and opinion articles, they have to pay for it.
01:58:28.000But we want the news to always be free.
01:58:31.000I 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.
01:58:39.000We want that to, we want that to be free, but the challenge then is how do you pay for the journalists to write it?
01:58:44.000It is a, it is a conundrum these days.
01:58:46.000Basically, 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.
02:00:20.000I want to know exactly what it does chemically in your body before I start selling it personally.
02:00:25.000Yeah, 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.
02:00:38.000For 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.
02:00:45.000And we want to start making our own stuff, like the Daily Wire gave us the Truth Bomb.
02:01:01.000Luke, I was just thinking If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show wherever you can if you want to help us grow, and go to TimCast.com, become a member.

02:02:20.000And 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.
