Alexa Jones is back on the air, Elon Musk wants to bring Alexa back, and Van Jones says he's going to outlive Trump by 50 years. Plus, we talk about the "Great Replacement Theory" and why it's not a conspiracy theory at all.
00:00:13.000After Tucker Carlson dropped his interview with Alex Jones about a half an hour long, The Quarterain tweeted that it's time to bring him back and Elon Musk said, yeah, let's run a poll.
00:00:22.000And then someone else tweeted, here's why Alex Jones was banned in the first place.
00:00:26.000And Elon Musk says, that doesn't sound like, I'm paraphrasing, but that's not a legitimate reason for a ban on someone.
00:00:31.000So it may be that we are winning, well, we are literally winning against the censorship industrial complex, but we're also winning against the woke industrial complex because now we've got this big firm saying they're going to pull $100 million out of the universities over these presidents defending far-left calls for... So I want to be very careful on this one.
00:00:54.000Elise Stefanik asked, these presidents, if calling for the genocide of Jews broke their rules, and they all said, well, I guess it depends on the context.
00:01:02.000This is resulting in a massive backlash, which is particularly interesting.
00:01:15.000January 6th is definitively an inside job because there's videos of police officers opening the door, fanning people in, taking selfies with them, and giving them guided tours.
00:01:24.000So if that's not an inside job, I don't know what is.
00:01:26.000But he also said that Great Replacement Theory Is not a conspiracy theory.
00:01:32.000And of course, now Van Jones has said he's shaking hearing this man who's going to outlive Trump by 50 years.
00:01:38.000And this is the right of like Nazi fascism, whatever.
00:01:40.000Okay, well, how about I play a clip of Van Jones saying that he and the woke left are asking white people to give up on being a majority and accept becoming minority.
00:01:50.000Quite literally echoing claims made by those who are discussing Great Replacement.
00:02:13.000That's our dark roast, our light roast, and we also have stand your grounds, a medium roast.
00:02:16.000It's whole bean, it's ground, your choice, as well as K-Cups.
00:02:19.000This is part of our plan to open a physical location.
00:02:22.000We've got one coming up in Martinsburg, West Virginia.
00:02:24.000We're probably going to open the private skate shop and club first, because that's super easy to do, and that is currently underway as well.
00:02:30.000But when you go to casprew.com and you buy our coffee, you're supporting that mission.
00:02:33.000But don't forget to also go to timcast.com.
00:02:39.000As a member, you'll get access to our Discord server to hang out with like-minded individuals, and you'll get access to all of our content.
00:02:45.000We've got several documentaries, we've got a bunch of silly shows, we've got Cast Castle, and we put out Infringed, the latest documentary.
00:02:51.000And of course, we're gonna have the uncensored members-only show coming up tonight, where you as members can actually call in and talk to us and our guests, so it should be a lot of fun.
00:02:59.000Smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.
00:03:03.000Joining us tonight to talk about this and everything else is Rep.
00:06:32.000In general, since this platform aspires to be the global town square, permanent bans should be extremely rare.
00:06:38.000Also, if he does say something false on this platform, then community notes will correct him, whereas that would not be the case elsewhere.
00:06:50.000I think with this boycott, the attack against Elon Musk and X, which is clearly nonsensical, Elon earlier was tweeting at Disney because Instagram and Facebook, meta companies, were sued by the New Mexico AG for advancing, allowing, and facilitating child abuse and all that entails, trafficking, etc., and materials.
00:07:17.000And so Elon Musk is saying, why are they still advertising on this platform?
00:07:20.000How come all these advertisers are on Facebook with no problem about something we've all known about now for, it's been like a year.
00:07:27.000Since the initial reports came out that they were doing this, and no action's been taken, and they're boycotting X. I think actions like that result in Elon being like, alright, screw it, Alex Jones is back.
00:07:37.000I think that Alex Jones coming back is probably baked into the kick now.
00:07:42.000I don't know that I agree that the treatment of Musk currently by the government and by the other media establishment is the defining factor.
00:07:54.000I think that the conversation that Tucker Carlson had with Jones, I listened to about half of it on the way here today, and I think that there's a lot of compelling stuff in the conversation that would I think would make Musk kind of sit up and be like, oh, I misunderstood.
00:08:16.000Because if I understand correctly, Musk's position was Alex Jones did do this and that's why he was booted off.
00:08:40.000He was trying to avoid having every advertiser just jump off the platform, but if that's happening already, it seems like Elon's like, all right, screw it, whatever.
00:08:46.000Well, I think, I mean, he probably kind of, I mean, maybe there is a little more to your initial comment than I initially said, because he's probably, he probably is thinking, well, you know, they're banning, they're affecting my advertising base anyways, right?
00:08:59.000Like, I've done the things that you're supposed to do to get along with them, But because I own X and don't want to, you know, just allow the FBI to have an office in my building, because of that, then they're still going to go and try and attack me and try and ruin the business.
00:09:15.000I think that probably does have a significant impact on his take.
00:09:31.000Oh, I think, yeah, like I said, that's why I mentioned an FBI desk in Twitter, because that's essentially what they had before.
00:09:38.000I forget what his name was, the guy that was the FBI lawyer that worked at Twitter.
00:09:42.000He was Twitter's top lawyer, but in the same way that you don't leave the Intel establishment, like if you get out of, you know, you stop working at CIA and you go to a tech company, you're still working for CIA at a tech company.
00:09:58.000You still have the connections, you still can talk to the people that you used to work with, and you know for a fact the higher-ups, the bureau chiefs and stuff, or the higher-ups at CIA are calling you up and saying, hey, can you get me this or can you do this if they want something from the tech companies?
00:10:13.000You could argue that tech companies, big tech companies, can be weaponized.
00:10:18.000I mean, just like Boeing can be weaponized.
00:10:21.000They're 100% already part of the military-industrial complex.
00:10:23.000Exactly, but they also make commuter jets, like they'll make commercial airliners, but then they were also, machines were weaponized for war, and social media, I think, can also be very, very easily.
00:11:27.000I want to know what's going on with... I don't think it's a coincidence that Meta's apps are now widespread reporting about the facilitation of child abuse.
00:11:39.000The same thing happened with the whole January 6th thing.
00:11:43.000All of the evidence shows that the people that did talk about going to the protest and possibly rioting or whatever, they were all having conversations on Facebook.
00:11:53.000And yet the government blamed Parler And went after Parler's infrastructure and basically, you know, torpedoed Parler, saying that people were organizing for the protests and stuff on Parler, when in reality, they were doing it on Facebook.
00:12:09.000That makes me think that there is massive government infrastructure in Facebook and they're happy to keep it open for business, because it's like a honeypot.
00:12:18.000The tech companies, whether we realize it or not, the big social media companies that we decided, you know, as a society, we are just going to give all of our information to, They are the the monitoring apparatus for the federal government because the federal government just needs a subpoena Like we we they don't have to like it doesn't have to be this big brother nefarious where they're putting Speakers and star putting microphones in your car and stuff because they're already there in fact We we bought all the speakers and stuff to put into our own you know our own homes so
00:12:53.000They don't have to do anything except go to a court and say, uh, you know, we need, uh, we need, you know, we need to subpoena these records.
00:12:59.000We need to subpoena the communications for this person for these dates.
00:13:03.000All they have to do is know where to look.
00:13:07.000The court is, there are, I would be willing to bet anything.
00:13:10.000There is not a court in America that would turn the federal government down if they say we need to get, we need to subpoena this information from Google.
00:13:16.000I wonder if there was an option for us to scramble all data on all social networks so that no one has access to it, if that would actually be good for the American military-industrial complex defense organization.
00:13:28.000Like, if they'd be like, yeah, it's better that no one has it, because right now, yeah, the FBI might have access to it, but so does the Chinese CCP.
00:13:38.000And I wonder what they would do if they could do that.
00:13:41.000Because I'm thinking about quantum encryption and post-encryption and stuff like that.
00:13:44.000I want to say that there was already some kind of legislation about encryption that the government doesn't want the population or the private sector to have encryption technology.
00:13:53.000They want to consider it a weapon and say that companies can't have encryption.
00:14:00.000That was one of the... I heard... I don't have any detail about it.
00:14:03.000This is just something that I heard in passing and I haven't done any kind of Studying up on it, but it doesn't surprise me because the government hates the idea of not being able to access information There's like I just did a conversation with Kevin Kane who does quantum encryption or post quantum encryption I think it's what it's called and they're they're trying to figure out get ahead of the game because once they figure out how to crack
00:14:21.000Encryption with quantum computers, then they need to put some kind of new encryption in place.
00:14:25.000And it's like, is it even ethical to talk about this out loud?
00:14:28.000Because even if we're just spitballing ideas, like they're listening, you know, and I mean, they like the CCP, whoever the boogeyman is that I'm confident the government has people working for them that are way smarter than me that have thought of things that I'm not going to think of.
00:14:40.000I'm not worried about if I like I'm not worried about giving the government ideas.
00:14:43.000A lot of the federal government is getting ahead of the curve.
00:14:46.000But it's kind of that thing, like until you know how it can be broken, you don't know what to make to fix it, to prevent it from being broken.
00:14:52.000So you got to break it before you can improve it.
00:14:54.000And then that could be like bank records get released, everybody's phone calls, texts, all that signal, all your encryption stuff is like, you know, a quantum computer can can take vector attacks, like rather than trying to like ABCD, ABCE, ABC.
00:15:09.000You don't even need to have quantum computer because like I said, you just got the courts.
00:15:14.000The courts just say give it to them and then... What if you don't give it to them?
00:15:17.000No, no, what I'm saying is like Google.
00:15:19.000The court will go to Google and say, Google, give it to them.
00:15:34.000Verizon, all these big, big companies.
00:15:37.000I think there's been reports that they just do.
00:15:39.000The only company that I'm aware of that gave the government the middle finger was Apple when they wanted to get into that guy's iPhone because he'd committed a terrorist attack and they wanted to open it.
00:15:49.000And then I think the Fed said, you know what?
00:15:55.000I do remember that Apple was like, no, we're not, we're not, because they wanted to build a backdoor or something like that.
00:15:59.000And they're like, look, if we, if we show you a backdoor or build a backdoor into this, that it's for all of them then.
00:16:05.000Yeah, and actually in terms of what Apple's trying to build, the best marketing for the fact that they have it, is that they publicly say no to the FBI.
00:16:11.000And then they're like, nah, we're not giving it to you because we built the thing, and that's good for everyone else too, so buy our products.
00:16:17.000I'm thinking like, if, I keep thinking decentralized social media, so that the companies don't have access to your messages, they're all encrypted peer-to-peer, but now I'm like, well if those truly are weapons of war, social media machines and things like that, social media algorithms, We can't decentralize, or could we decentralize Boeing?
00:16:36.000Because then it becomes a security risk.
00:16:38.000How do you build a plane when the parts aren't in the same building?
00:16:40.000Yeah, you'd have to get them to ship them to their location, and if one of those factories goes down and can't get the bolts over to the main factory to put the aircraft together, the entire thing shuts down.
00:16:48.000So it's almost like a risk not to have it centralized.
00:16:52.000Especially like, actually we talked about this the other night, the military.
00:16:56.000If you're building a complex piece of equipment for the military, they try to spread out the actual parts manufacturing into as many congressional districts as possible.
00:17:04.000So that way, if you want to get rid of a program, you're getting rid of a bunch of jobs that Congress people are like, ah, you're not taking these jobs from my district.
00:17:12.000Yeah, I was talking to Congressman Gates about that and he was telling me that some of the smartest folks, that's how they'll do it with some of these fighter jets and whatnot, they'll make sure that a peace is made in every single state.
00:17:25.000That way you'll have all the representation fighting to keep that same fighter.
00:17:31.000It's smart, you know, but I don't know, man.
00:17:35.000It's definitely not in the best interest of the American people, right?
00:17:40.000It's a programmed addiction by these government actors making these deals, whoever it may be, legislators or otherwise, where they're trying to make sure we can never shut down a government program.
00:17:53.000That's the biggest problem we have with government is the inability for it to fail.
00:17:56.000So when bad things happen, when corrupt things happen, and when failure happens, the machine keeps going, sucking in more and more money, becoming more and more corrupt, and then eventually imploding.
00:18:04.000That's exactly the argument that libertarians make about private sector versus public sector.
00:18:09.000Anything in the government, there's no way for it to be punished by failing other than people voting People out and to be honest with you, the failure has to be on such a catastrophic level to get people to say this guy needs to go.
00:18:26.000It has to be really bad for a lot of people.
00:18:29.000Whereas in the private sector, if you're if you're You're not making money two quarters in a row.
00:18:34.000The higher ups are looking to replace everybody.
00:18:36.000You know, if you're if you if you're if you go from being in the black, you know to in the red, they're like, yo, why look at what's going on with at Disney, you know, there's there people talking about their writing.
00:18:51.000Letters to their investors saying, yo, we know that things have been messed up.
00:19:47.000I was, you know, there on the House floor and he basically had to go down to the well, which is like right in front of where the Speaker's chair is.
00:19:54.000And, you know, they read his censure and he had to stand there publicly and all the Democrats like crowded around him.
00:20:01.000Didn't they all vote in support of him or something?
00:20:04.000Yeah, the Democrats voted in support of him, but obviously he pulled the fire alarm.
00:20:37.000But seriously though, what was the actual effects he committed in Congress that warranted expulsion?
00:20:44.000Yeah, I know he had a bunch of indictments.
00:20:47.000I didn't vote to expel him, I voted to keep him.
00:20:50.000But I know that the New York delegation was really pushing hard for him to go.
00:20:56.000This was just my theory, it was just my thought.
00:20:59.000I think that a lot of the New York constituents and donors that got burnt by Santos were putting a lot of pressure on those guys to get rid of George.
00:21:09.000No, if you ever met George in person, like the guys, he's hilarious.
00:21:14.000I'm not gonna sit here and defend George's, like, persona.
00:22:26.000And some of my colleagues, I've talked to some of my colleagues who are lawyers and prosecutors who do believe he will be, but I don't know, man.
00:23:06.000And I'm surprised that you can have a member of Congress commit a crime, on camera, caught doing it, to subvert the political process, and this is it?
00:23:18.000Yeah, if it was like at four in the morning and he was pranking people, that would be different than if he was doing it during a- Still a crime!
00:23:23.000Yeah, but he was doing it during a congressional proceeding to try and delay the proceeding?
00:23:45.000And so he took the sign off the door that said emergency exit?
00:23:47.000Well, it's funny because a couple of my colleagues, Andy Biggs is in that same building, Congressman Biggs, and he went to that exit Along with some other guys saw that there were they had already corned it off And so they just went around to a different inch, you know a different exit So it doesn't make a lot of sense that he did what he did, but I don't honestly I don't know why that surprises you Tim.
00:24:11.000I mean, it's you know, I mean, it's Congressman You know, how many I'm an Indus has gold bars.
00:24:22.000The place is ripe with I was hanging out at the local poker room last week and someone asked, some guy said, I'll make a bet, an older guy, just out of the blue goes, I'll make a $20 bet with all of you, that, he goes, right now, the approval rating of Congress is 17%.
00:24:44.000But all the 80% of Congress will be re-elected in 2024.
00:25:21.000How do you be considered good in Congress?
00:25:24.000Because obstructing kind of is your job, but if you obstruct too much, then are you considered a bad guy?
00:25:30.000Yeah, Thomas Massey kind of gets that from time to time.
00:25:32.000Yeah, I definitely fall under that, I would say, that label if you will.
00:25:38.000But you're right, it is tough because you don't want to obstruct to the point where you can't get anything done, but at the same time when I mean take pick a topic whether you're talking about the border whether you're talking about the national debt 33 trillion plus in debt two trillion dollar annual deficit and what we do under Republican control in this Congress we made a deal with Joe Biden an additional four trillion dollars to the national debt and so it's like it doesn't really matter what topic you pick I think that we're failing and you know so if you're obstructing
00:26:57.000But I look at so many of these members of Congress and it's crazy to me that Jamal Bowman pulled the fire alarm.
00:27:07.000Jamie Raskin falsely accused me of advocating for January 6th in the J6 hearings because I reported on a Fox News story that Donald Trump called for protests on January 6th.
00:27:21.000So, before January 6th happens, I'm reading a news story from Fox News where I'm like, wow, Trump's calling for a protest.
00:27:49.000Scum, lying, cheating, stealing, without a care for anybody else.
00:27:53.000They don't want to make anyone's life better.
00:27:54.000They want to make their own lives better.
00:27:56.000They want to watch... You know what they are?
00:27:58.000They are the people stealing the fine china from the Titanic, knowing the iceberg hit, but they're going to run to the emergency raft before anybody finds out.
00:28:10.000I mean, there's a lot of problems with Congress, but I think it is important that we always remember that, like Andrew Breitbart said a long time ago, he said that politics is always downstream of culture.
00:28:21.000So you don't see things get to the halls of Congress until they've been permeating in culture for a decade, you know, five years at a minimum.
00:28:31.000And that's how I feel a lot of time because, you know, you'll sit there and you'll just watch, you know, good amendment or this good bill go down and you're like, what the hell is going on here?
00:28:40.000And I think to your point, Tim, there is a certain level of that, like, hey, this thing is going down.
00:28:55.000I got the vibe that it's, there's too many people for the representatives to represent.
00:29:00.000Like how many people are in your, in your?
00:29:02.000So most, yeah, most reps rep about 750,000 people.
00:29:06.000And it's like, I mean, I represent myself I can't really even represent Tim properly if I tried, because I'm not Tim.
00:29:13.000So like, the idea that back in the day the least worst thing we could do is send some brilliant guy to go represent the 7,000 of us, and hopefully he's going to know what we all kind of need and want in our community.
00:29:22.000But now, it's so unrepresentative of the humans, because there's such a diverse desire and belief within systems, like, I've had this idea, like, what if we just Everyone gets the power of the House of Representatives now.
00:29:38.000We all can work from home, we can all can write legislation and pass it onto a system where we can all read it and put amendments and then after 30 days we can all vote on it to pass it into the Senate.
00:29:46.000But we'd still vote for you guys that if the power goes out you go to the place to do it for us until the power comes back on then we all get back to work.
00:29:52.000I think it's a bad idea and I don't think it makes sense.
00:29:56.000You know, I like, honestly, I like that we have a constitutional republic.
00:30:02.000What I don't like is, like, you guys hear about the fourth branch of government all the time, the administrative state, the bureaucracy, right?
00:30:10.000If you think about it, there's a bunch of unelected bureaucrats that are in D.C.
00:30:15.000They look at a guy like me who comes in there and tries to, you know, shake things up a little bit, and they're just like, we can just wait this guy out.
00:30:23.000You know, he has to get re-elected every two years, and by the time he gets the documents that we're stonewalling him on, right, you know, it's so far into the future that people are like, oh, move on, that's in the past.
00:30:36.000And so, you know, I do like the fact that we have a constitutional republic, you know, but our system has problems like everybody else, and I think right now the administrative state is one of our biggest problems.
00:30:49.000I think one of the biggest mistakes we made was the 17th Amendment.
00:31:18.000And she obviously doesn't have the power to do it.
00:31:21.000And it's part of the reason why she assumed that she did is because she doesn't have a fundamental, deep understanding of our governmental structure.
00:31:29.000She's the executive of the state of New York.
00:31:33.000That's why and what the error that she made is she was was thinking that she should be sending the person selecting to represent the the represent the people for Congress, but she would select the senator because the senator is supposed to represent right state.
00:31:51.000Because she misunderstands how the structure of government works, that's why she made that error.
00:31:57.000That's why she said, oh, I'll select for the House.
00:32:00.000The people obviously have to select who is going to represent them in the Congress.
00:32:16.000The general idea with the 17th Amendment was that there was corruption, that state legislatures were just picking their buddies, and we can't have that, and that's a mistake.
00:32:25.000Because now nobody cares and knows who their state senators are and who their state reps are, and that's substantially more important for everything.
00:32:32.000Because if this country was unified culturally to a certain degree, where everybody was paying attention to their state reps and legislatures, you could get a convention of states.
00:32:41.000You could actually have the states just be like, no, we're changing things.
00:32:44.000We're done with Congress, we're done with the Senate, you're not getting anything done.
00:32:48.000And then there's other ways to do it too, amending the Constitution through Congress and through the Senate.
00:32:54.000But we don't have any of that right now, and I think you need it.
00:32:59.000So I look at this idea that you're talking about, Ian, and it's a huge mistake, and it's for exactly what you were saying.
00:33:04.000It could take you years to get the documents you need, and you're fighting re-election every two years, and if you can maintain that, you can get these documents.
00:33:13.000You, Ian, sitting in your room, waiting for a bill and thinking you want to pass it, bro, we are going to get people Who are going to think the polar bears are dying, and so they're going to vote to build a polar bear sanctuary.
00:33:24.000It's like the Simpsons, when they built the bear patrol.
00:33:28.000One bear wanders into Springfield one time, and so they're like, okay, everyone's panicking, they all voted for a referendum for the bear patrol, and so then Homer looks at his paycheck a week later and he sees a bear tax.
00:33:40.000That's the problem with people who... I think that's why we have a constitutional republic with representatives.
00:33:47.000We select the person we think is the best for the job, do the job like any other job, and then we trust they do the job well, and if they don't, we fire them.
00:33:53.000It could be that the representatives maintain their authority and ability to, like, request documents, but that we, just as citizens, gain an ability to also produce legislation that we can vote on together.
00:34:03.000Because, like, I feel kind of helpless a lot of times looking at Congress and being like, No, all I can do is convince people to go convince someone to do something.
00:34:10.000Have you ever actually written your congressperson?
00:34:15.000No, I would make videos and be like, call them now, call them at two o'clock.
00:34:20.000Everyone coordinate, make a phone and just overload them with phone calls.
00:34:23.000I'll do that kind of thing with an internet video, but I never actually did it myself.
00:34:28.000Because I think, I mean, you're never going to, I don't think anyone's ever going to feel like the direct power of being able to say, or very few people are going to be able to say, hey, I want this to happen.
00:34:49.000My toilet breaks, and then we're like, okay everybody, we got a broken toilet, so let's put it on the internet, and everybody all around gets to vote on how we fix the toilet.
00:34:57.000No, I want to hire a plumber who's the best at the job.
00:34:59.000Maybe I'm misrepresenting what I'm thinking.
00:35:02.000I just, like, if you could make a bill and be like, this bill gets funds for a better process of toilet repair.
00:35:31.000I kind of want a legitimate fourth branch of government I'm just I don't think the representatives can handle the load.
00:35:36.000It's too many people that they're unrepresented the problem that you're Articulating isn't that there are too many.
00:35:42.000It's not that they can't handle the load It's that the load that's being put on the strong the government is too great for the structure of government So our government is not supposed to be in the daily working of your life the federal government at least right so like The fact that we have, like, the fact that there was ever a question about who goes into which bathroom that was at a federal level is exemplary of, or exemplifies exactly what our problem is.
00:36:11.000We don't need the federal government to make every decision for us.
00:36:15.000You don't even need the state governments to do it, honestly.
00:36:18.000But that's where, kind of, that's kind of how society's knee-jerk reaction has become, and I think really, like, No, you're right.
00:36:26.000On that point, I think that's a big part of the problem.
00:36:29.000You've got, I think, generations of people who have been raised to think that federal government is the solution, and it's not.
00:36:37.000I know our founders wanted limited government because they've seen what it can do, right?
00:36:44.000And so, you know, I think that's what some folks in DC right now are trying to do.
00:36:51.000You know, it's why we fought so hard to change out our leadership this year, because we just continued to head down the same path that we were on.
00:37:00.000You know, like the fight we got back in January.
00:37:02.000I know you guys had Matt on your show, and you've had him in the past.
00:37:06.000I mean, that fight hadn't happened... What happened in January hadn't happened in over a hundred years.
00:38:17.000And the reason the reason, guys, like I like I said, is because I didn't get in that I didn't get into this.
00:38:22.000I don't leave my family three weeks out of the month with my two young daughters because I like Washington, D.C., or I like putting on a suit or I ever wanted to be called a congressman.
00:38:46.000There's two trains of thought on that.
00:38:49.000I think everybody agrees the House of Cards is going to collapse.
00:38:51.000And then you've got some Republicans who are like, guys, let's try and fix this.
00:38:55.000And then you've got, I'd say, most Republicans and Democrats being like, how much can we loot from the coffers before the cards come crashing down?
00:39:03.000Yeah, and we call it the Uniparty up there.
00:39:06.000Anytime something serious needs to get moved, the Uniparty moves in lockstep, and it is Republicans and Democrats.
00:39:15.000Republicans get pissed at me all the time.
00:39:17.000I'll get calls from donors, or, Eli, why are you attacking Republicans?
00:39:23.000You need to be fighting against Democrats.
00:39:27.000It is an important layer to the fight, but it goes a lot deeper than that.
00:39:31.000And if we don't acknowledge the own stink, our own problems within our own party, this thing's never going to get fixed.
00:39:45.000I'm just glad that there are people up there who I've seen, even in this last Congress, the 118th Congress, who repeatedly are willing to throw caution to the wind, put their political career on the chopping block, and be like, hey, let's go.
00:39:58.000Let's do something that's never been done, and let's buck the system.
00:40:02.000And so, you know, I don't know where that leads, Tim.
00:40:07.000My faith isn't in the federal government, for good reason.
00:40:10.000But, you know, I do think it's important.
00:40:13.000I mean, Matt was talking about this billion-dollar I.O.U.
00:40:15.000machine that Kevin McCarthy builds up, where he goes, all these donors basically get, hey, we're gonna give money to your PAC, we're gonna help you get re-elected, you're gonna control, basically, the Republican Party in the House, and then when he gets ousted, all those I.O.U.' 's become toilet paper.
00:40:31.000So, you know, this machine of favors in D.C.
00:40:48.000If you met Kevin and you hung out with him and you didn't know he was the Speaker of the House, you'd probably be like, this guy's pretty cool.
00:40:56.000But that being said, when you look at what was going on, and when you look at how he was leading the party, there was no desire to change course at all.
00:41:07.000I've heard from too many people that he backstabbed their campaigns.
00:41:11.000That there were populists, America First, they were Trump supporting.
00:41:16.000And anybody in that, I shouldn't say anybody, but most people in that spot would use their power and influence to back candidates that are going to fall in line and do what you're told.
00:41:29.000And you know, it's like, that's one of the biggest knock.
00:41:32.000That's one of the biggest knocks on military guys.
00:41:36.000I remember when I started going up to DC, Tim, some of the older Republicans looked at me and they're like, you know, Eli, you military guys get up here and you don't really fight too hard.
00:41:45.000You know, you kind of just fall in line and do what you're told.
00:41:50.000But that's, When you look at your chain of command as the people back home, the 750,000 people that sent you there, it's different than seeing the Republican Party or the Democrat Party as your new chain of command, right?
00:42:03.000And that's the problem with too many politicians.
00:42:06.000They see their party as their chain of command and they just fall in lockstep and they do what they're told.
00:42:10.000How's life with Mike Johnson, the new Speaker?
00:42:15.000I mean, honestly, it's really not that much different in that we're still pretty much on the same trajectory, maybe a couple degrees off.
00:42:28.000And I think that most of us that were involved in ousting Kevin with the motion to vacate, Believe that that's how it was going to be just because whoever speaker is really a representative of the party and the party is not conservative.
00:42:43.000It's just not, you know, that being said, you know, he has done a couple he has done a couple good things.
00:42:50.000And so like when he released some of the January six tapes, I think that was a good, that was a good thing.
00:42:56.000I think, you know, he's serious about moving forward with, you know, this Biden, you know, impeachment.
00:43:02.000But he's shown with, you know, the CR, the continuing resolution that funds the government at the same levels.
00:43:08.000And even right now with the NDAA and FISA that, you know, we're probably going to continue to go on, on the same path with some of those things.
00:43:17.000Is it because if he just was like, I'm going to make a bill of getting rid of the CR that everyone in the party be like, then no one's going to vote for it, dude.
00:43:24.000So what they do, you know, what they do is they scare, they scare anybody that gets into leadership, right?
00:43:29.000Like the intelligence community right now is telling Mike Johnson, Hey, if you let, if you let FISA lapse or you, you reform it.
00:43:37.000And FISA goes down for even a little while, and you have, right now, who's out there saying that we have more terrorist threats than we ever have before?
00:43:47.000So Mike's making these decisions, the intelligence community is scaring the snot out of him, saying, hey man, if you let FISA elapse, And there's a terrorist attack, the blood's on your hands.
00:43:59.000And that's what they do constantly up there.
00:44:01.000It's constantly like, if you try and change things, whether it's with spending or a government shutdown or, you know, making adjustments or reforming FISA, they have a way to scare you back into line.
00:44:14.000Not only are they going to blame you, but they're going to go ahead and they're going to accuse you of trying to make it so that these things can happen.
00:44:27.000When Chuck Schumer said that the intelligence agencies have six waves from Sunday from coming after you, Donald Trump, and then they accused Trump of being a Soviet spy.
00:46:36.000No one's gonna sit there and be like, the problem we have is, let me pull out 18,000 pages of every single organization ever that's lobbying the government.
00:46:52.000And then if they say it's a lobbyist, that could be just a guy, but if it's a special interest group, it's a lobbyist.
00:46:57.000The lobbyist would be the individual that's actually trying to get the politician to do whatever it is that the special interest group wants.
00:47:04.000The group is the special interest, the lobbyist is the individual.
00:47:08.000And to be fair, I mean, there are good lobbyists, right, that are lobbying for good things.
00:47:14.000But, oftentimes, you know, it's, you know, it ventures into corruption and, you know, seeking things that are so front-site focused on just taking care of one industry.
00:47:26.000Ian, you've got my firearms guy got it over here.
00:48:15.000But the reason I brought it up was to make the point that lobbying, a lot of people have this view of lobbying as this, like, prestigious thing.
00:48:22.000And it's like, dude, it literally means you argued to a member of Congress.
00:48:25.000They used to stand in the lobby, literally.
00:48:27.000That's why they were following that after.
00:48:28.000And then when they came out of the proceeding, they'd be like, hey, For the sake of Ian's graphene, one thing they started doing is they put it in batteries.
00:48:34.000And so what that does is when you're charging a battery, the graphene carries the charge evenly across the battery so it charges rapidly.
00:49:02.000You can put it in concrete and it'll make it three times stronger.
00:49:04.000You can put it in like, this is just bulk graphene where you just shatter it into powder.
00:49:08.000You can also make sheets of it, like Tim was talking about, that can be used as electronics, which is more complicated to produce at the moment.
00:50:19.000And I'll clarify now because I know I tried to hammer that one really, really hard.
00:50:23.000Several individuals had already been acquitted because the judge outright said police welcomed them in.
00:50:32.000There's video of police opening the doors and letting people in.
00:50:36.000The response we've gotten is, oh, well, you gotta understand why they did it, okay?
00:50:40.000Explain to me why the Q Shaman was given a guided tour, they walk to a door, try to open it, it doesn't open, then they bring him, they bring the guy to the Senate Chambers.
00:50:49.000The argument is, they were overwhelmed, they had no choice, they just gave in.
00:50:56.000There's more than one cop who took selfies with people, opened these doors, there are doors that are mag-sealed, you know this better than I do, that they're mag-locked, you can't just open them.
00:51:05.000Someone has to deactivate the electric current to open the door.
00:51:10.000Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was actually one of the first, probably not one of the first, but of Democrats, she actually said, and this is like a year and a half ago, there were police officers who are fanning people in, moving barricades, opening doors, and she wants answers.
00:52:05.000Inside job refers to someone on the inside facilitated what happened.
00:52:10.000So while you have people fighting with cops on one side, you have cops opening other doors and letting people in.
00:52:15.000He also talked about Great Replacement, and this is what really got people all riled up, is that he basically said it was policy for Democrats.
00:52:25.000So, instead of getting ahead of myself, we'll stick to the January 6th first, and then we'll get into the other portion.
00:52:33.000The Vague said, why am I the only person on the stage, at least, who can say that January 6th now does look like it was an inside job?
00:52:40.000They say, that baseless idea has become popular among fringes on the far right and on social media, at times even winning support from lawmakers, including Senator Mike Lee, who last month claimed without evidence that there were undercover federal agents disguised in the crowd during the rioting at the U.S.
00:52:56.000Capitol as Congress had gathered to certify Trump's election defeat.
00:53:00.000Well, I'm curious your thoughts on all this.
00:53:04.000I don't know if there are federal agents.
00:53:06.000I don't know if you know anything about it.
00:53:08.000Yeah, I do believe there were federal agents as well.
00:53:12.000And I believe we had Christopher Wray and a Homeland Security Committee here in, I think, two weeks ago.
00:53:18.000And when asked that question, he basically gave the tagline, you know, I'm not going to comment on any, you know, Any operation any investigate ongoing investigation type type deal.
00:53:31.000I actually asked one of the questions.
00:53:32.000I asked him was hey, why hasn't the pipe bomber been caught right?
00:53:37.000I found that fascinating that and either way kind of the way I posed the question to him was so do you how many how many people did you guys arrested January 6 and it was I don't know hundreds and hundreds of people, right?
00:53:50.000The one the one guy that could have you know, basically created multiple mass casualty events with his pipe bombs Meaning killed or injured, you know, you know dozens and dozens of people You know just that the FBI can't find that guy and I just it just it's wild because DC is one of DC is one of the most heavily fortified defended Um, and recorded cities, you know, um, in the entire country.
00:54:22.000And so you're telling me that, you know, and maybe this, maybe this is, you know, too conspiratorial for some, but it just strikes me as odd that, that this guy, he couldn't, um, he was so proficient that he's able to avoid the most proficient law enforcement organization in the world, yet he couldn't get his pipe bombs to go off.
00:54:43.000And or people are arguing, oh, well, they got them before, you know, they got the pipe bombs before they were, you know, said to go off.
00:54:51.000I don't buy that this guy has been avoiding, you know, the FBI.
00:54:55.000I also when I look at guys like Ray Epps, The fact that Ray Epps was in the crowd, he was seen multiple times, he's caught on camera multiple times telling people, we got to go into the building, we got to go into the Capitol, and years into this he's not arrested.
00:55:11.000Even though, you know, guys on like Revolver News, you know, the guys at Revolver continually reporting on this stuff, it just stinks to high heaven.
00:55:20.000And then you got that right on the back end of the, you know, Michigan deal with Gretchen Whitmer.
00:55:26.000I think the FBI has, you know, needs to be reeled in and it's why many of us tried to deny them the ability to get their new FBI headquarters probably about a month and a half ago.
00:55:38.000And once again, the Uniparty moved in lockstep to give them their new, I think it was like $300 million building.
00:57:03.000And they said, we can't get in, so we're bringing the robots in.
00:57:06.000We also had to, we were forced to evacuate the building for three hours, and the stream went live to like 50,000 people for three hours with nothing in the room.
00:57:14.000They never, they never caught these guys.
00:57:16.000We've had police sent here on numerous fake calls, some were actual humans, human voice, some were robotic, and they never catch these guys.
00:57:28.000And even after we submitted a bunch of evidence, and told them like, guys, this information, we've got evidence, they just said we don't care.
00:58:27.000It wouldn't surprise me if people came out later, like, yeah, you know, we did that to intensify the fear so that we could shut it down quicker.
00:58:34.000I think a lot of this is like, let's just get it put... I mean, if you told me they had no FBI agents in the crowd that day, I'd be kind of disappointed with the FBI.
00:58:43.000You're going to do a riot on the Capitol and you don't have FBI agents out there looking at stuff?
00:59:03.000Yo, I'm some dude who just complains on the internet, and I read a Fox News story that Trump was calling for protests.
00:59:08.000I was like, wow, that's gonna be crazy!
00:59:10.000Media Matters ran a hit piece on me claiming that I had foreknowledge, because I said something in November where I was like, yo, these Proud Boys and Three Percenters or whatever are gonna rush to D.C.
00:59:20.000and storm the White House or something.
00:59:22.000They're not going to accept a Trump defeat.
00:59:59.000This is a story from the New York Post.
01:00:00.000Isn't it crazy that it was March of 2023, two years, more than two years later, we got the footage showing capital cops Escorting the QAnon shaman to the Senate floor.
01:00:11.000How was that not disclosed immediately?
01:00:14.000Especially considering they're locking this guy up.
01:00:17.000Or at the time they were about to lock him up.
01:00:19.000You see this video where they're actually walking him to the doors and opening the doors for him.
01:00:27.000Yeah, and it's like, maybe they didn't want a prolonged siege of the building, they didn't want all the windows to get broken out, so they're like, just get it over with, get in here.
01:00:33.000But that they're arresting him for trespassing is like, dude, come on.
01:00:36.000There's a video where a cop walks in and he's like, can you guys please leave?
01:00:39.000And I think it's the shaman, he's like, we'll take care of it, we'll be nice.
01:00:41.000Yo, they let him in in the first place!
01:00:43.000If he was being that nice, they didn't even need to open the door for him.
01:00:46.000They could've been like, buddy, nah, you gotta go.
01:01:08.000Let's talk about the other component of what Vivek Ramaswamy said that's triggering all of these people in media.
01:01:13.000And that is, what did he say, false US demographic changes.
01:01:17.000So they go on to bring up the Great Replacement Theory, and I love how they do this.
01:01:20.000ABC News says, Ramaswamy also boosted the Great Replacement Theory, the white nationalist belief that immigration policies are designed specifically to dilute the political power of white Americans by making them a smaller share of the population.
01:01:32.000The idea has been elevated by media figures like Tucker Carlson, and inspired mass violence in 2015 Charleston, South Carolina church massacre, and in the 2019 shooting at Walmart.
01:01:42.000Ramaswamy alleged during the debate that the theory is not some grand right-wing conspiracy theory, but a basic statement of the Democratic Party platform.
01:01:49.000How about I just play this video of Van Jones for you, and we'll start breaking this down.
01:01:53.000...asking the white majority to do something is difficult.
01:01:57.000And I think it'd be easier if we just acknowledged that it's difficult.
01:02:01.000No ethnic majority group in 10,000 years of human history that I could find ever went from being a majority to being a minority and liked it.
01:02:11.000And that's basically the request from the racial justice left, is that we want the white majority to go from being a majority to being a minority and like it.
01:02:55.000I suppose, you know, in my context, I'm talking about what's currently going on right now in this country.
01:02:59.000It's clearly not a peaceful way to do it.
01:03:02.000But we have this great article from Newsweek, Democrats are massive hypocrites on so-called Great Replacement Theory.
01:03:07.000And this is by Pedro Gonzalez from 2022 in Newsweek, where he breaks down statements from Joe Biden and many other Democrats where they're outright basically saying this.
01:03:28.000Biden and the company latched onto it, but here's the problem.
01:03:31.000Democrats and progressive activists, based on their own rhetoric over the years, subscribed to replacement theory more than anyone else.
01:03:36.000As Vice President Biden himself said, that a constant and unrelenting stream of immigration would reduce Americans of white European stock to an absolute minority, and that was a source of our strength.
01:03:48.000I'm not going to go through the whole article because Pedro actually brings up a ton of other excellent examples, but I think right there, When you have Joe Biden, who is now the president, saying, a source of our strength is an unrelenting stream of immigration reducing white Americans to a minority.
01:04:03.000Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say like, Vivek's not wrong.
01:04:06.000Well, he took three quotes out of context and stuffed them all together into one sentence.
01:04:10.000So I would like to see, I'm not saying Joe Biden's not a racist, but I would like to see the full context of those statements.
01:04:17.000And also, now, when we talk about Great Replacement, I think it should be repurposed to be like, you know, we're not, it's not designed to specifically dilute the power of the white Americans, it's designed to dilute the power of citizens, of the American citizens.
01:04:40.000Cultural Marxism is designed to topple the cultural hegemony or whoever is Perceived to be at the top, you know, it's interesting.
01:04:49.000I started studying this a couple years ago.
01:04:51.000There's a, you know, a pastor named dr. Vodie bockham.
01:04:54.000He's a big black dude that looks like he could play.
01:04:57.000He was a he was a football player on the rise and then he became a pastor.
01:05:01.000And he does this phenomenal series and sermon on cultural Marxism and how he went on CNN one time, they invited him on after Obama took the White House, and he said that the anchor was basically asking Dr. Bauckham, hey, do you think that race relations in the U.S.
01:05:19.000are going to get better now that we have a black president?
01:05:22.000And Votie Bauckham said, no, they're going to get worse.
01:05:28.000And Vodibachan went on to say, it's going to get worse because Obama sat under a cultural Marxist pastor named Jeremiah Wright for a very long time.
01:05:38.000And if he goes back and he, you know, kind of gives a history lesson about cultural Marxism and how they tried, you know, Marxism to destroy the West, traditional Marxism, where you pit people against each other economically, right?
01:06:11.000I mean, if you go and you look at how divided we are on race, you know, and it's just, to me, it's just disgusting.
01:06:19.000Like, but, you know, when I when I listen to Van Jones right there, you know, and what he's saying about, you know, I want white, you know, what I want for white people, and to go from being, you know, on top of things, or what do you say, Tim?
01:06:35.000From being the majority to being the minority and to like it, that has to me all the hallmarks of cultural Marxism.
01:06:42.000The statement itself is not just an explanation of what they're doing, but an attempt at incitement to trigger reactions which they can then use to gain more power and take advantage of this.
01:06:54.000You have Van Jones outright saying the racial... I don't know if he's saying I, but he does say the racial justice left is asking white people to become a minority, which Ian does bring up there as a third way.
01:07:03.000But in American politics, there's mass migration and birth control, advocacy against having kids and things like this.
01:07:11.000And so, Van Jones saying that, then gets people on the right, people like Vivek Ramaswamy, to be like, hey, this is something Democrats have espoused, and then the media immediately comes out and says they're conspiracy theorists and they're racists.
01:07:23.000They're white nationalists and they're Nazis.
01:07:25.000To Ian's point though, I think it's even bigger than, you know, the replacement stuff, and I do think that's a part of it, but...
01:07:44.000I think that they they want a top-down totalitarian control.
01:07:47.000They want it to You know, be some utopia that has, you know, a little bit of socialism, a little bit of communism in it.
01:07:54.000And as long as we, as long as Americans feel free, prosperous, we have a constitution, we have the ability to defend ourselves, we have freedom of speech, all of that stands in their way.
01:08:06.000And so I think that it's death by a thousand cuts.
01:08:09.000And I think that that's why it just feels like we're living in bizarro land.
01:08:13.000Patrick, Bet David talks a lot about Choosing your enemies wisely, which I think is fascinating, because I'm like, I don't have any enemies, I don't want to have any enemies, but I'm like, who's my enemy?
01:08:26.000I don't want my enemies to be you, or like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who represents the Democratic Party in a way that, you know, I find admirable in some ways, at least it's youthful.
01:08:35.000But like, I don't want my enemies to be in our country.
01:08:38.000And then I'm like, am I just being xenophobic?
01:08:40.000But do you think the CCP is involved in this Marxist Obliteration of American culturalism wasn't do you think that the CCP the Communist Chinese Party the?
01:08:53.000Do you think that they're like the masterminds of this?
01:08:55.000Oh, no, it's it doesn't take a person So like the it's an ideology.
01:09:00.000So like, you know, like if you go to a Catholic Mass Right, like if you go to a Catholic Mass in the US and then one in you know in somewhere in South America They're gonna be similar because Catholicism has stuff that you are supposed to do to be Catholic The leftist ideology that he outlines, and he's 100% right in my opinion, the leftist ideology that he outlines, there is a whole structure that people follow.
01:09:28.000So it doesn't matter, you don't need a person that's top-downing it.
01:09:33.000They believe in an ideology, and so if you believe in the ideology, you follow the tenets of the ideology, and you don't need one particular person to dictate to you, because you do the things that Marxists do.
01:09:46.000You look at the world through a Marxist lens.
01:09:47.000That just intensifies the value of the culture war.
01:09:50.000If it's an innate emergent phenomenon that's spreading like wildfire on the internet, there needs to be a better wildfire.
01:10:31.000KGB defector, you know, saying that, you know, you silly Americans, you think that, you know, the KGB, we spent most of our resources on espionage, James Bond espionage because it's sexy and it's in the movies.
01:10:42.000He's like, no, only about maybe 15% of our budget went to that stuff.
01:10:47.000Right that most of it went to ideological subversion, you know putting people in your institutions your culture Academia and teaching this crap these ideologies and and and I think that's what that's what you're seeing right now But I I think the I had this debate 800,000 times actually But I think the the actual issue was big tech and social media and it's not So much the universities I think I think the universities are a component obviously because you see all these videos where someone sends their kids to college and their kid comes back Angry, shaved head, you know, weird tattoos and things like that, face tattoos or whatever.
01:11:22.000But what we're seeing with the rise of cultural Marxism and things like this started around the world all around the same time, which is more indicative of social media creating the phenomenon than anything else.
01:11:39.000So the early social media algorithms favor anything that makes people angry.
01:11:45.000And so you had libertarians, and I think even like Paul Joseph Watson and like Alex Jones, were posting police brutality videos because it got people riled up, they'd watch the video and then complain about it.
01:11:55.000And so if you're a right libertarian, you're complaining about the same stuff that eventually Black Lives Matter started complaining about.
01:12:01.000Police brutality on its own only gets 100,000 views.
01:12:03.000Racist police brutality gets a million views.
01:12:06.000So the algorithm started favoring content that pushed things like racism is bad, homophobia is bad, anything that would seem like an injustice.
01:12:14.000And then you had, the example I always cite is Mike.com, which started off as like a Ron Paul libertarian website, turned into a leftist social justice website because of social media algorithms.
01:12:24.000You write an article that's in favor of right libertarian anti-government, it does okay.
01:12:28.000You write a social justice piece, it's got racist, sexist, anti-gay in the title, bang!
01:12:32.000It's getting a million views, so the company starts putting all their resources into hiring writers to write all that stuff, and then instantly, around the world, you see this in the LexisNexis data, every country experiences, except for like Iran and North Korea, they have weird fluctuations, but almost every single country with access to the basic internet we do, sees the same rise in racism, privilege, intersectionality, feminism, etc.
01:12:55.000All rapidly happening at the exact same time.
01:14:05.000This actually broke about an hour ago, but we'll get into it right now.
01:14:09.000From ABC, Special Prosecutor files nine tax-related felony charges against Hunter Biden.
01:14:14.000Special Counsel David Weiss has filed additional charges.
01:14:18.000Let me refresh to get the latest information.
01:14:21.000In the indictment, prosecutors allege Hunter Biden engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for the years 2016-19, from in or about January 2017 to October 15, 2020, and to evade the assessment of taxes for tax year 2018 when he filed false returns in or about February 2020.
01:14:45.000Is this how they bring down Joe Biden?
01:14:48.000That's how they got taxes, that's how they got Al Capone.
01:14:51.000Right, but I'm not saying this right here is how they get Joe Biden, I'm saying this is in relation to.
01:14:57.000One by one you get these death by thousand cuts of Hunter Biden, and then eventually someone goes, hey wait a minute, one of these threads goes to Joe, and then Joe, embattled, says, look, I'm gonna step down.
01:15:09.000You know, these allegations are false, but... You saw the MSNBC clip where they're interviewing Joe Biden and they're asking him questions like, so what do you have to say about these conversations you've had with Hunter's associates when you were lying?
01:15:47.000There is polling by the Associated Press that shows that almost 70% of Americans, including 40% of Democrats, believe that you acted either illegally or unethically in regards to your family's business interests.
01:15:59.000Can you explain to Americans amid this impeachment inquiry why you interacted with so many of your son and brother's foreign business associates?
01:16:08.000I'm not going to comment that I did not, and it's just a bunch of lies.
01:16:42.000So I've always thought that he's the perfect front man for what they're doing because as they destroy the country systematically, they got the perfect fall guy out there.
01:16:52.000The guy can't put together a sentence.
01:16:56.000They've got a ton of clearly a ton of dirt on him So he's got to do what they say and he wanted to be he's wanted to be president forever So it's like why and when he's when he when when as the country collapses on his watch They can they can blame him, you know, so I think he's the perfect fall guy But I wouldn't be surprised to see the old bait-and-switch and see a guy like Newsom get thrown in there either so we'll see what happens man, but I wonder what the prediction markets have Newsom at right now.
01:17:52.000He called, he made that call to get rid of Bagram Air Force Base, Air Superiority, and just left everybody in the lurch with a rushed surrender.
01:17:59.000The most terrible military executive I've ever seen in power in the United States.
01:18:02.000I agree, but I don't, you know, a lot of people think Biden's in charge or someone's pulling the leash, and I'm kind of like, no, I think they're letting him flounder.
01:18:09.000They're sitting back watching and just letting it roll out because, like you said, when it all comes crashing down, they want to burn it down.
01:18:14.000They want to replace it with something else.
01:18:16.000They just blame Biden and then he's gone.
01:18:24.000It's, it's one of, Afghanistan was definitely one of the, you know, big, massive failures.
01:18:31.000I was in the SEAL teams for a little bit.
01:18:33.000And, and one of the things that scared me or concerned me when I was looking at the list of gear left behind was all the night vision goggles.
01:18:41.000Because, you know, as, as when you're operating overseas, a lot of times we would almost exclusively operate at night, because we own the night.
01:18:52.000But now that these guys have all that night vision equipment, that's going to make it really difficult for any of our troops or any of our allies that are fighting at night.
01:19:02.000And you know, that definitely takes our superiority and our advantage down.
01:19:08.000I don't know how, like how many they actually left, but you know that they're not staying in Afghanistan either.
01:19:14.000It's getting into Uh, combat zones all over the world.
01:19:17.000And, like, I mean, anybody that's got, you know, played around with night vision, it is a completely different thing to be able to see at night when, when the people that you're going after can't see it.
01:19:28.000No, look, I think most city people, I, I, I, I, there's a lot of people listening right now who are gonna be like, nah, Tim's not, most city people don't know what night time is like.
01:19:38.000So in that famous story about LA, power goes out, the police get a bunch of phone calls about something strange in the sky.
01:20:16.000It's one of the most surreal experiences that I've ever had walking through one of the, you know, very big cities, some of the most violent cities in the world, but nobody's on the streets but you and, you know, a couple of your buddies patrolling.
01:22:06.000So what do you do in the military, you served with the SEALs, if your commander orders a surrender abruptly that causes mass death and loss of equipment and life, what happens to that commander?
01:22:21.000I guess it depends on who the leadership at the top is, right?
01:22:25.000The military, you know, I think for a long time has been I think for a long time had been spared from a lot of the insanity of this culture.
01:22:35.000But even over the last couple years you've seen, you know, it, you know, infect the military as well.
01:22:43.000Like I just we had a we had an Air Force Admiral in Homeland Security.
01:22:48.000I think this last week and He was talking about some of their issues, and one of their big issues was recruitment.
01:22:55.000And I asked him, do you think it has anything to do with the, you know, DEI training?
01:23:01.000Do you think it has anything to do with, you know, drag shows on base?
01:23:04.000You know, that type of stuff that never really was in the military.
01:24:07.000So that's what I guess is being reported.
01:24:10.000Just so that Admiral knows, if you own up to the truth, they'll be more likely to re-enlist.
01:24:15.000Yeah, it was because they were forced to take a vaccine that they didn't trust and they quit because of it, or they were discharged because of it, and now they're being asked to come back, like what?
01:24:25.000The military is one of the most dangerous jobs you can have, and if you don't have any faith that leadership's not going to sell you out, if you believe that your leadership will stab you in the back so they can continue to get promoted, how many people do you think are going to join?
01:24:43.000It's like a lot, a lot of these young kids, I mean, and I think there's multiple issues there, but a lot of these young kids don't trust this, the leadership that they just saw, you know, be in charge of the debacle in Afghanistan and that, you know, force a bunch of our troops to get an experimental vaccine.
01:25:00.000And now that they can't recruit kids to come back in, you know, they're offering, hey, to bring them back.
01:25:05.000I mean, it's just, it's a complete leadership disaster.
01:25:08.000What do you think would be a good incentive to get people back?
01:25:12.000Well, I think I think an apology to start with would be really nice and these these guys taking ownership and be like, hey, we screwed up.
01:25:20.000Secondly, like my little brother, you know, when he was a Cobra pilot in the Marine Corps, he I think he was on his last year in the Marine Corps and was basically told you're getting the back you're getting the vaccine or you're out.
01:25:34.000And so my little brother went to the Naval Academy, like flew helicopters, you know, high-performing guy.
01:25:43.000Yeah, and he was an O, and he lost his retirement because he wouldn't put that in his body.
01:25:48.000And so you got to take care of those guys, and then you got to take care of the folks that are injured now because of the vaccine as well, and just make them feel like, hey, we got your back.
01:25:59.000Because if you don't got my back when it comes to, you know, this stuff right here, I don't I don't think you're gonna have my back when we're going to war against the CCP or we're going to war against Iran and you know I'm I'm out there by myself and I need some air support.
01:26:16.000And to the to the point that you were making earlier about the cultural Marxism and stuff that the goal of that kind of stuff is to shake people's faith and and in the in the our system in the United States and so if you've got you know Graduating class, after graduating class, after graduating class, being churned out of high schools and colleges that have been taught that America's not really all that good, America's not worth fighting for, America's a bad force, a force for evil in the world, America's the villain on the global scale normally, and generally that's the role that the U.S.
01:26:51.000has had since the end of World War II.
01:26:53.000If that's what you've been taught, why would you join the military to serve the government?
01:27:05.000Venezuela's declaring ownership of the western portion of the nation of Guyana and amassing its military and now Guyana's requesting US aid to prevent the invasion.
01:27:15.000It's over half of the country that they're making a claim to.
01:27:21.000And so part of the reason why they're doing this is because ExxonMobil was just doing explorations off the Ghana coast, and so they want to go after Ghana's oil.
01:27:41.000So it's after the capitalists have done the exploring to find the oil reserves that you would only be able to find with tools provided or invented for capitalist exploration, and now the socialists are like, yo, that's mine.
01:27:57.000I just want to say, like, you've got Middle Eastern conflict, you've got Eastern European conflict, you now have an escalating... You're tying it together.
01:28:13.000Also, with the stuff going on in South America, there is the Monroe Doctrine that we have to worry about.
01:28:17.000If there's anyone that decides that they're going to support Venezuela, that would be from Asia or from, you know, whether it be Russia or China or whatever if they or around if they decide they want to support Venezuela Then the u.s.
01:28:33.000Has the Monroe Doctrine which is saying that no one from from any other part from the from the Eastern Hemisphere Has any business being in the Western Hemisphere?
01:28:41.000This is the total the domain totally the domain of the United States and we will not accept countries from Europe or from Asia or from The Middle East or from Africa meddling in North or South America.
01:28:54.000We just totally reject it out of hand.
01:29:34.000You do it, which justifies that guy doing it, which justifies that guy doing it, and then you've got like a smash-and-grab situation where everyone's like, well, before this is over, I'm gonna see if I can get a piece.
01:29:42.000Maybe not justify, but basically creates the opportunity.
01:29:45.000Yeah, justifying their own minds, I should say.
01:29:47.000I mean, is there really ever a justification for offensive war?
01:29:57.000Are we going to get involved in war in Venezuela?
01:30:00.000I don't think so, but I'd rather have our aircraft carriers there than in the Red Sea or something.
01:30:04.000I agree, because we're talking about having our forces in the Gulf.
01:30:08.000All I can say is I'm missing some mean tweets right about now.
01:30:11.000Are you involved with this kind of the military stuff in the congress?
01:30:16.000I mean, you know, it's like, uh, involved in, in, uh, the function of funding.
01:30:24.000That's the power of the purse is probably the biggest tool that Congress has.
01:30:29.000And so funding the military and then also funding, you know, I would say our projects overseas and foreign affairs that that's A lot of Congresses, and obviously Congress can declare war as well, but that doesn't happen too often in modern times.
01:31:39.000So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and head over to TimCast.com.
01:36:07.000And she goes, well, some people say you're too fat to be president.
01:36:10.000And he was like, that's, that's ridiculous.
01:36:12.000That's, I don't know if she said it like that bluntly, but you know, I'll say it right now.
01:36:16.000I mean, the dude's got major health problems.
01:36:18.000I mean, look, I, any, I don't think that, I think it's irresponsible to put people that are, that are unhealthy like that in positions of Not just positions of power, but positions that we look up to.
01:36:31.000I was talking to Brett about this today on PCC or before PCC.
01:37:06.000Yeah, I mean, that's aspirational, you know, but I think that... A national vision and a national plan and something that unites us.
01:37:11.000Yeah, but the idea that we should focus on average, everyday, and mundane, and that's what we should put in front of our faces all the time because that's what reality is, I think that we should reject that and we should look towards more aspirational things.
01:37:24.000I like when average mundane becomes awesome over the course of a movie, because then you're like, well, now I know what average is.
01:38:19.000So I'm saying, like, sit down for two, three hours at We need, so I think there already exists like a political version of D&D but we need to formulate it as to the modern politics and do like, so you know what like the Democrats and the neocons did in 2020 that is a war game?
01:38:32.000They basically played Dungeons and Dragons but the characters were like Hillary and Trump and Biden and they war-gamed out what would happen by rolling die and like playing D&D and so I'm like we should do a show that creates the campaign Throughout 2024, and, like, stays a little bit ahead of what's going on.
01:39:44.000But it's fun, it's like a Sunday night.
01:39:46.000Yeah, we could do a Sunday night live show, and then you're basically like, okay, the primary's happening, I'm gonna roll and see what happens, like, oh man, you know, Donald Trump actually lost to Iowa, how did that happen?
01:40:57.000I've been trying to get things done sooner, but it only works depending on what, like, the news is.
01:41:00.000So right now we're in, like, things are getting kind of dense news-wise, so it allows me to record more quickly.
01:41:05.000And then I've been skating around, like, 1 p.m., where I usually would skate around 3 p.m.
01:41:09.000Gives me a little bit more time to go get food and then come back and hang out.
01:41:12.000And then we get ready for the show around, like, 6.30.
01:41:15.000Onward and then we finish at 11, and then I'm in bed by 11 30, and then I just watch I bet I usually I just watch TV shows, but Recently we were at a bank and one of the bank tellers had Jujutsu kaisen as his desktop background And so I was like I'm gonna watch that show and then I just spammed it anime Yeah, so is that is that your show your like genre of choice right now?
01:41:39.000No, I mean like when you when you have a so the boys great show Gen V I like that and then what was the other thing I was watching?
01:41:47.000I much prefer shows like that, but then recently just because some guy to bank was watching I was like I guess I'll check it out, and then, uh, actually, I think it's pretty good.
01:42:59.000However, I think it's also depending on the bread like McDonald's doesn't rot or mold.
01:43:06.000So there so if you get Wonder Bread just like white Wonder Bread like a plain old white Wonder Bread that stuff will be moldy with like real fast and I feel like that's because of the sugar content in it.
01:43:45.000Rob says, Phil should use his failed musician skills and see if Shawn Danielson of Smile Empty Soul and Aaron Lewis of Stained would come on the show.
01:43:53.000Also, I hear James Hetfield is pretty based.
01:44:20.000So it was like, no, no one's going to do a show and then do a morning, like no one's going to play a live show up to midnight, then do a morning show and then do another show that night.
01:44:29.000It'd be cool to have him on the Culture War though.
01:45:52.000I know he probably doesn't want to do that, but I wonder if that's just him saying publicly, I don't want to be VP because he needs to maintain the composure of, I'm a leader.
01:47:56.000When they did that quote too, where they asked him if he was gonna be authoritarian the day he went in, or if he was gonna abuse his power.
01:48:04.000Yeah, and he answered the question without listening to the question.
01:48:07.000He answered it in a way that didn't make sense.
01:48:09.000So I don't think he said, yes, I'm going to abuse my power.
01:48:12.000He was just like, He said he's going to do it on the first day.
01:48:15.000Close the border and deport a bunch of people.
01:48:59.000Because I mentioned on Twitter that, you know, basically, we talked about how Luke Skywalker got radicalized by religious zealots to go blow up a military base.
01:49:10.000Canonically, there's between 1 and 2 million people, or 1 to 2 million total, on the Death Star.
01:49:17.000In later books, they said, oh, it's Empire propaganda, it was only 800,000, and I'm like, Is that better?
01:49:24.000Luke Skywalker killed a million people!
01:49:26.000And it's canonical, uh, it is canon, that, uh, many of the people who were on the Death Star had their families there working as well, and many of them were civilian contractors.
01:49:45.000My point I eventually got to was, I think, you know, people are saying, yeah, but the Death Star blew up Alderaan, and I'm like, nah, that's rebel propaganda, dude.
01:49:53.000Alderaan blew itself up, you guys, sorry to tell you.
01:49:55.000Yeah, because they were stockpiling weapons to use against the innocent, you know, people, the religious zealots, and then when it blows up, they just blame it on the Empire as a false flag.
01:50:07.000But more importantly, real quick, The story of Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith is the most unbelievable and implausible scenario I've ever heard.
01:50:18.000Here's this guy who's a military hero, beloved by the people, who is working on behalf of the government, legally, and then, one day, just one day for no reason, He murders the head of the Jedi Council, and then decides, an hour later, to massacre children.
01:51:40.000I think, so it's all in the storytelling, and the storytelling is the only way to do it, was this one weakness, where they sent in the bomb, and then it blew the whole thing up, and then everyone said that was stupid, and so then they made the prequel Rogue One, where the guy building the SR goes, I've implanted a secret weakness, so that my daughter could blow it up, and I'm like, yeah, okay, great, right, kind of cheap.
01:52:00.000Right, because the reality is they would stage an attack on, and this is a moon-sized base, they'd attack the weapon.
01:52:07.000They would disable the weapon and not massacre everybody on the base.
01:53:42.000I was thinking, like, Princess Bride, oh, there's the narrator, and he's like, but if you really want to know what happened, and then he gets out the real book, and he's like... And we wouldn't, we wouldn't be able to call it, actually, we might be able to call it Star Wars and the Empire, because we're making fun of it.
01:54:37.000These servicemen and women receive vital instruction that weapons, classified weapons materials, plans, and means of exploiting and blowing up a military base have fallen into the hands of religious zealot terrorists.
01:54:54.000They deploy to this planet, all desert.
01:54:57.000They go to this house, last known location of the droid carrying the information.
01:55:04.000I mean, so this is not an easy situation.
01:55:07.000And I don't know what the answer's gonna be, but the end result was, they die.
01:55:11.000The military then collects what they can, they find nothing, they leave.
01:55:14.000Luke Skywalker comes home to find his parents are dead, and then says, THE EVIL EMPIRE KILLED MY- or his aunt and uncle, sorry.
01:55:20.000And he's like, THEY KILLED MY AUNT AND UNCLE AND NOW I WANT REVENGE, and that's probably a true story for what happens with the United States and the Middle East all the time.
01:55:27.000And if you think about the drastic nature that the Empire was under, it's like if during the Manhattan Project, if our plans for the nuclear bomb got leaked to the Nazis and it was in a location and we had to send in special forces to get it back, like there is no time.
01:55:43.000The plans for the schematics for the World Trade Center are stolen by terrorists with also the capability and the means and the plans to destroy them and everyone inside.
01:55:57.000And soldiers are ordered to go recover that, to put a stop to this plan, and in the search, these two people are killed.
01:56:05.000They resist, they say, oh, get out of here, a fight breaks out, the guy with the guns wins.
01:56:46.000So Luke comes home and his aunt and uncle are dead, and then a religious guy in robes comes and he's like, let me explain to you the truth about the evil empire.
01:56:55.000And he's like, what's the evil empire?
01:56:56.000Well, you might call them the United Planets, you know, of the Milky Way.
01:58:22.000But it goes back to what I was talking about.
01:58:25.000That's one way right there that they could start to reestablish some trust amongst not only folks that have served, but in, you know, amongst younger generations if they want to get the recruiting numbers up.
01:58:38.000Let me try- okay, I'm gonna try and get your name right.
01:58:40.000It's, uh, is it, uh, Wojciech Zapotoczny?
01:58:44.000I totally got it wrong, but I was close, right?
01:58:47.000I say that we vote to take Ian's rocks away.
01:59:01.000So everyone in chat, we're not a democracy, you can't... I, being the representative, however, if elected, will issue my decision on voting to take away Ian's rocks.
01:59:16.000And maybe this amethyst, which I love a lot.
01:59:18.000I think the problem is, ladies and gentlemen, as your representative here at Timcast, I'm actually the one who gave Ian a bunch of those rocks.
01:59:54.000says, Tim likes chair dancing to Taylor Swift.
01:59:57.000You know, the last thing I want to bring up on this is, like, if you saw my segment on this one, there's a PSYOP going on right now to convince Trump supporters to attack Taylor Swift.
02:00:06.000Because Taylor Swift publicly called out George Soros, she did, and Alex Soros, because they bought her music, her master recordings, out from under her.
02:00:14.000And now, for some reason, a bunch of Trump supporters are actually attacking Taylor Swift, insulting her, And I'm like, why are you starting a fight with someone who actually just opened the door for an opportunity there?
02:00:26.000Like, you can go to all of Taylor Swift's fans right now and be like, hey Taylor Swift fan, did you see how George Soros screwed over Taylor Swift?
02:00:34.000Yeah, we also don't like George Soros.
02:00:37.000Instead, people are like, Taylor's awful and she's a Democrat, so condemn her, and I'm like, why?
02:00:45.000The Uniparty is definitely where we should be focused.
02:00:47.000Yeah, just don't, like, first of all, if Taylor Swift is going to vote Democrat and push all these things, and she probably will, why go to war with the most popular celebrity?
02:01:39.000And, you know, I appreciate what you guys do.
02:01:43.000You know that, as you guys know, a lot of media has been completely co-opted.
02:01:48.000So it's great to have alternate, you know, places where people can come and just listen to regular people talk about, you know, I think, you know, different perspectives.
