00:00:24.000you an FBI agent accused of suppressing the hunter Biden laptop
00:00:49.000investigation among other acts of political bias was escorted out of the bureau
00:00:54.000building resigned and there's conflicting reports as to whether or
00:00:58.000not this was just a resignation and escorting someone else is totally
00:01:03.000normal or This is something more serious.
00:01:04.000And I think, despite the reporting to the contrary, it is more serious because this individual was placed on leave and the resignation was probably one of those things where they're like, I demand your resignation over this.
00:03:18.000I am one of only three senior White House advisors who served with President Trump in the White House.
00:03:30.000Starting all the way from the campaign in 2016 to what we like to joyfully call the end of his first term, just to make it clear that he's still very much in the game.
00:03:44.000My bag, as it were, was dead center, deplorable, make America great again, Trump Republicanism.
00:03:57.000remit for the first three years of the Trump White House, Tim, was to create blue-collar manufacturing jobs in America.
00:04:10.000And in order to do that, we had to do a combination of things.
00:04:15.000One, we had to level the playing field internationally with trade cheaters.
00:04:24.000Which at the top of that list was, of course, Communist China.
00:04:27.000So I was known as, along with Brother Steve Bannon before he exited the White House, as the China Hawks.
00:04:38.000And then the second way to go about bringing manufacturing home was to prosecute aggressively the Buy America, Hire America policies.
00:04:51.000One of the triumphs, I think, of the Trump administration was to, first of all, get tough on China, but second of all, to bring in the old Reagan Democrats, the Trump Democrats that became Republicans because We really focused like a laser on good jobs and good wages for the people.
00:06:19.000The bigger story here, let me give context.
00:06:23.000Well, I don't want to get into it before we get started.
00:06:25.000Okay, so they put me in leg irons in solitary confinement, denied me an attorney, kept me in solitary confinement in a dungeon.
00:06:34.000They seem to be happy about the fact that I was in the same cell that John Hinckley sat in after he shot Reagan.
00:06:42.000This seems to be kind of something that's stuck in their minds.
00:06:46.000It's like the guy who created hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs in the White House and during the pandemic saved hundreds of thousands of lives was sitting in the same cell as the guy who shot Ronald Reagan.
00:06:58.000OK, that's that's the FBI, folks, as we know.
00:07:27.000So it's a way, I think, that we can bridge the gap between environmentalists and national industrialists.
00:07:32.000You know, it's funny you say that, if I may here.
00:07:35.000It's like, my background, by the way, and don't hold this against me, I have a PhD in economics from Harvard, so it's like, this is kind of, it's like, this is my wheelhouse, and the idea That we could ever solve the issue of carbon dioxide emissions on the demand side is ludicrous, because no matter how much you would ever restrict carbon consumption here in the United States and in Europe,
00:08:05.000Whatever we did would be far outstripped by growth of that in India, and particularly China.
00:09:14.000From the post-millennial, FBI agent accused of suppressing Hunter Biden laptop investigation resigns, escorted out of building.
00:09:21.000Now, this story is really interesting because there's conflicting reports as to whether or not he just resigned or he was forced to resign.
00:09:29.000And the story from the Washington Times is that this guy, Tim Tubalt, retired over the weekend, but was previously on leave for about a month.
00:09:37.000According to the Washington Times, Tobalt retired over the weekend on Friday.
00:09:39.000Eyewitness accounts state he was seen exiting the Washington Bureau's elevator while being escorted by two or three headquarters-looking types.
00:09:46.000Tobalt was named by Senate Judiciary Ranking Member Chuck Grassley in a July letter to FBI Director Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland that cited whistleblowers who alleged political bias from high-ranking officials.
00:09:57.000According to Grassley, the whistleblowers said the FBI and Justice Department employees must follow strict guidelines to open an investigation, and Tobalt did not follow them.
00:10:05.000As you are aware, Assistant Special Agent in Charge Tim Tebowl is not the only politically biased FBI agent at the Washington Field Office.
00:10:16.000Adding, the FBI answers to Congress and the American people.
00:10:20.000Tebowl was one of 13 special agents in charge at the Washington Field Office and had been under fire from Republicans in Congress after it was revealed that he made anti-Trump posts on social media in the lead up to the 2020 election while he was supposed to be helping to direct the investigation of Hunter Biden.
00:10:35.000Well, as we know from these whistleblowers, the FBI blocked that.
00:10:38.000Now, Donald Trump came out and said this is the guy that was leading the raid on Mar-a-Lago.
00:10:43.000Other media outlets have come out and said that's not true, but this guy's the Washington field office, and it was the Washington field office that was in charge of this, so all of the news coming out is conflicting.
00:10:53.000Fox News said it's unceremonious that he was escorted out, that's normal, and that it was just a resignation, while the Washington Times says he's being forced out.
00:11:39.000Edgar, but many others felt the investigatory weaponization of that agency.
00:11:46.000So, that supposedly went away, but I would argue, and Tim, let's put this Hunter Laptop Biden incident in its broader historical perspective, and we start When I was on the campaign in 2016 with Donald Trump in Trump Tower in Manhattan, prior to the 2016 election, the so-called Russia hoax began.
00:12:20.000The Russia hoax is a discredited Russia hoax, which was supposed to somehow tie Trump as some kind of puppet of Putin, right?
00:12:28.000It's just it's just it was a Democrat Operative funded by Hillary Clinton got it started but it was the FBI agents like Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Comey himself, others, and that was where the first preemptive coup
00:12:50.000What they wanted to do prior to the election was taint him with the Russia hoax and Hillary would win.
00:12:59.000That didn't work, but that Russia hoax continued for several years, led by former FBI Director Mueller.
00:13:09.000They took a lot of prisoners, Tim, a lot of casualties.
00:14:18.000It's that there's connections between him and his dad and their business dealings, which is more than just being a bad person.
00:14:24.000According to Mark, the FBI gave him a general warning, like, hey, watch out for misinformation.
00:14:29.000And then Mark took it upon himself to censor the Biden thing.
00:14:33.000Except whistleblowers came out and said that they knew the Hunter Biden laptop thing was happening and they should not investigate it because they didn't want to interfere in the election.
00:14:42.000At the same time, went to Mark Zuckerberg and said, hey, we want to actually put our thumb on the scale, so watch out for the information we deem to be misinformation.
00:15:09.000The New York Post was the one who broke the story and Twitter took him off and Facebook and what she said was Zuckerberg flat-out lied because he and Facebook were much more aggressive than Twitter, but here's Here's the point.
00:15:24.000We had actually someone message us in the Super Chats last night saying Zuckerberg lied.
00:15:29.000They had been permanently banned from Facebook over sharing the Hunter Biden laptop story during the election.
00:15:35.000He made Twitter sound like they were the tough guys.
00:15:51.000If you look at Webster's Dictionary, an insurrectionist is armed people who are trying to overthrow the, quote, constituted authority, okay?
00:16:01.000Trump was president for four years, armed FBI agents in the executive suites and down, Tried to overthrow Trump, and they succeeded!
00:16:22.000So Trump should be in the White House.
00:16:24.000But what do you think about the FBI going after Hillary Clinton's emails?
00:16:28.000Because the argument that the left makes is that, well, if Comey hadn't done the investigation over her emails, she would have gotten the same bump, and she would have won.
00:16:36.000Well, in the dual system of justice, I'm the guy in leg irons, Trump's the guy who has a raid on Mar-a-Lago despite cooperating with the National Archives of all things, and Eric Holder, who was the Attorney General under Obama who killed people with his His operation down in Mexico with gun running, he was charged, they recommended the same charge for him as me, he went free, Hillary's free, Peter Strzok's on CNN making six or seven figures, and that was the SOB at the FBI in the top executive suites.
00:17:19.000Who was directly responsible for manipulating information to perpetuate the Russia hoax.
00:17:27.000And so to finish the thought, it's like now we have another preemptive coup.
00:17:34.000We had an actual coup by the FBI that succeeded because they suppressed the Hunter Biden information, which would have swung the election to Trump.
00:17:43.000And now we have another attempted preemptive coup at Mar-a-Lago, trying to stick him with a criminal charge that would prevent him from running.
00:18:05.000I go back to why I'm here in a little way.
00:18:08.000Taking back Trump's America Book mission is to get control of the House of Representatives in November so that we can start issuing the subpoenas To the FBI, the Department of Justice, the National Archives and find out just what exactly is going on.
00:19:11.000The National Archives took them, went through them, and found newspaper clippings, personal memos from the president, and some classified information spattered among these boxes.
00:19:20.000Then sent a message to the FBI saying, hey, look what Trump had.
00:19:24.000The FBI said, sounds like he's got more, probably.
00:19:41.000And that, I mean, this is a crazy, this is a crazy movie-esque story, if this is really how it played out.
00:19:47.000That Donald Trump leaves the White House, declassifying as he goes the crossfire hurricane documents showing the FBI was engaged in malfeasance to try and subvert this country or something like that.
00:19:57.000And then while, for whatever reason, Trump's holding onto these documents, not publishing them.
00:20:02.000They realize he's got them, and they need an excuse to go in and take them, which is why they needed a broad search warrant that said from day one to the last day, which is insane.
00:20:11.000The Fourth Amendment, my understanding prescribes, you need a narrow set for your search warrant.
00:20:16.000You need to be looking for something specifically that is approved of, not to simply go to a judge and be like, we think he's got classified documents.
00:20:30.000That theory may well be true, but what I did was I went and looked at the statutes authorizing the search, and interestingly enough, there's a little clause right there in the statute that says that if you were found to contain confidential documents, you can't run for office.
00:20:56.000So it's like, this could be Russiagate, and I believe that, but it also could be as simple as they pick those statutes as a way of stopping Trump from... Yeah, maybe, but...
00:21:10.000I don't think these people are as powerful as a lot of people think they are.
00:21:12.000I think obviously we have this unit of FBI agents and probably many, many more that are really bad, but this won't stop Trump.
00:22:12.000So, the overlay here is the January 6th so-called Select Committee, which is selected basically of a bunch of Democrats and two Rhino Republicans.
00:22:27.000It's a committee which Nancy Pelosi herself called unprecedented because it's a totally partisan You know, they put me in that stuff, right?
00:22:37.000They showed a clip of me reading a news article and then claimed that I was a Trump supporter calling for people to go to DC.
00:23:27.000It's a doctrine It it might you know, the word privilege has kind of got a bad rap these days, but the whole idea is for a president To make effective decisions, he has to be able to have confidential discussions with his closest advisors that can't be revealed in the ordinary course of business.
00:23:46.000So, as soon as he evoked a privilege, number one, it was not my privilege to wave.
00:23:52.000Number two, so I told the committee repeatedly time and time again, go negotiate a waiver of the privilege with the president and his attorneys.
00:24:39.000If President Trump has executive privilege, and his predecessor comes in and immediately strips him of it, then he never had it.
00:24:49.000But I don't think you should be able to strip the presidency of its privilege.
00:24:53.000So it's not the office, it's the individual who held the office.
00:24:57.000Like, any president who goes in and says, this privilege is required for the reason of having independent branches, if you left and then that could be taken away from you, you'd have civil war every four years.
00:25:16.000When a president, past or present, invokes executive privilege, then that privilege applies to whatever it is he's invoked it on.
00:25:32.000And it's not the authority of his advisors who are considered—the top advisors—we're considered alter egos of the president.
00:25:41.000In other words, when they subpoena me, it's like subpoenaing The President.
00:25:44.000So my point here, in terms of my situation is...
00:25:49.000Trump invokes privilege, not my privilege to waive.
00:25:51.000The committee does nothing to resolve that issue, and the next thing we know, they pass a resolution to hold both Dan Scavino and myself in contempt for failing to comply with the subpoena, and hijinks ensue.
00:26:11.000Now, the funny part of the story, and it's a darkly comic in a brutal Authoritarian way is I live literally a field goal kick away from the FBI I mean, I was a field goal kicker in high school.
00:26:25.000I could hit the FBI with it from my From my balcony in the building.
00:26:40.000I mean it's just it's just right there right and so rather than What they should have done with me is call my attorney and arrange what they call a voluntary arrest.
00:26:57.000Just, hey, we've got an arrest warrant, come on down, we'll do the paperwork and, you know, you'll be out with no bail and, you know, we'll deal with this in the courts.
00:27:08.000And two days before they took me, I actually talked to the FBI agent And said, hey, whatever you need, I'm happy to cooperate with you guys.
00:27:18.000And that same day, I'd sent a letter to the attorney at the Justice Department saying, hey, I'm looking for a modus vivendi here.
00:27:38.000And so On that Friday, they let me leave my home across the street from them, go to Reagan Airport, sit for an hour in the boarding area, getting ready to go board a plane to Nashville to do Mike Huckabee's show.
00:27:56.000And I go through, I do my gate ticket thing and walk into the jetway.
00:28:02.000And the next thing I know, there's three armed agents behind me and two armed agents coming at me.
00:29:28.000They wanted to show you... They wanted to bully, coerce me, and try to break me.
00:29:33.000And look, it's like... These people are crooked as they come.
00:29:36.000There's a concept called lawfare that we've been having to deal with in the Trump administration really big time.
00:29:43.000It's like even if I'm never convicted and put in prison for two years, which is what they want to do, it's going to cost me well over a million dollars just to defend myself.
00:30:05.000It's like, what's going on here, guys?
00:30:07.000So you get the bigger issue, though, and I get back, look, the Taking Back Trump's America book, it's a mission for me, it's also my legal defense one, but we gotta get the House back.
00:30:17.000We gotta get the House back in November.
00:30:32.000It's like, look, who wants to go into government service?
00:30:37.000I mean, all I ever did was save lives and create jobs there.
00:30:41.000Nobody ever accused me of doing anything but that.
00:30:46.000From anyone who would want to work with Trump after seeing what they did to you should be to proudly assert they want to work with Trump and try 10 times harder to work with Trump in the next administration.
00:30:57.000Make them realize when they do things like this, people will only become more resolved and stand up for what they believe in.
00:31:04.000This is why the United States doesn't negotiate with terrorists.
00:31:08.000This is what I learned doing all the hostile environment stuff, training with the overseas, like when you're dealing with terrorists.
00:31:17.000Terrorists don't like, in many circumstances, to kidnap Americans.
00:31:21.000Because the United States government will not negotiate at all.
00:31:23.000They'll just send special forces or whatever to go and wipe them out and rescue the Americans, or the Americans die.
00:31:29.000And so what ends up happening is typically, at least this is how it was a while ago, things change with ISIS.
00:31:36.000An American gets kidnapped in the Middle East, they go, he's an American, leave, I don't want to deal with it.
00:31:40.000But a German guy or a Spanish guy, those countries, they pay up instantly.
00:31:47.000So the message you need to send when they do things like this, they want to scare you, make yourself stand up, be 10 times more resolved and say, okay, if you want to play these games, we're going to try twice as hard, 10 times as hard to stand up for what we believe in, work with Trump and take back America.
00:32:08.000There's also just a very practical matter of taking back the House of Representatives and getting the investigatory powers in the hands of Republicans who will then send out the subpoenas to the FBI, to the Justice Department, to the National Archives, to the Democrats on Capitol Hill, to the White House.
00:32:30.000I just, Tim, it's, this, this all stinks to high heaven.
00:32:36.000I mean, this is like, this is like Banana Republic stuff where whoever's in power tries to punish and imprison Whoever was in power before so that they can't come back.
00:32:49.000I mean, it's a it's a it's a story that's been going on for for hundreds of years in countries around the world.
00:32:57.000We just never thought it could happen here.
00:34:30.000And at the top of that triangle, or pyramid, It's fair trade and a level playing field so blue-collar manufacturing workers can compete against the sweatshops of Asia and the subsidies of Europe.
00:34:47.000And that's what really Trump-Republicism means to me.
00:35:09.000We have turned the strongest economy in modern history over to a regime which, and you folks are way too young to understand this, is a replay of the worst decade of the 20th century, which
00:35:57.000You know, interestingly enough, and forgive me if I mention this, but I explain that back in the 80s when I was getting my PhD at Harvard, I did have a chance to do that.
00:36:12.000There was a guy, Murray Weidenbaum, who was the Chairman of Economic Advisors.
00:36:20.000And he invited me to be his speechwriter, essentially, because I did like op-eds back then, like in the Wall Street Journal, and it caught his eye.
00:36:30.000But I decided that if I ever left Harvard, I'd never come back and finish, so I think I probably made the right choice, though.
00:36:39.000I want to jump to this story from the post-millennial.
00:36:42.000I want to talk to you guys about what Portland is becoming, what it is, and I guess why it's important that people get out and vote.
00:36:52.000Not just in the congressional elections, but in your local elections as well.
00:36:56.000The post-millennial reports, Portland street mob shoots at elderly driver accidentally kills one of their own.
00:37:03.000Shocking videos emerge on social media showing scenes of a deadly and fiery chaos.
00:37:08.000at lawless street occupations in Portland.
00:37:11.000At one of the street racing takeovers on Sunday night near the Expo Center, attended by hundreds, an elderly man in a van appeared to be caught in the road before being violently attacked by an armed mob.
00:37:20.000Video posted on social media shows that as he desperately attempted to reverse and drive away while being attacked, he backed into a car.
00:37:27.000This is where things start getting crazy.
00:37:28.000A man in the crowd then fires at least 18 rounds at the fleeing van.
00:37:32.000A follow-up video shows the crowd catching up with the elderly man who had stopped on a patch of grass.
00:37:37.000He appeared to be in shock and was bleeding heavily.
00:37:40.000There were hundreds of people and cars in the area participating in an apparent illegal street takeover.
00:38:10.000Clearly an Antifa individual in Portland.
00:38:13.000What Andy was saying is a lot of these people supporting these takeovers are Antifa, they're leftists, they want the lawlessness, this is what you get.
00:38:22.000For whatever reason, the people of Portland keep voting for it.
00:38:25.000So I don't know if there is a way to change the minds of individuals who like that kind of scenario, because that, I wouldn't want to live anywhere near it.
00:38:33.000But if that's the case, I don't see amending of this country in terms of the political divide, especially with how the FBI has been treating people.
00:38:40.000It seems like An inevitability that there's, what, a national divorce?
00:38:47.000Or maybe a revolution if one side doesn't actually stand up and vote.
00:38:52.000Close to home here, just last week I was on a jog, as it were, on the mall and went up kind of the left side of the Capitol Hill walkway, right?
00:39:10.000There's mothers there with kids in the carriages and just people having a good time.
00:39:15.000The next thing I know, a hundred or more Guys come down on these motorized skateboards going 30-40 miles an hour with their helmets and Antifa-like gear.
00:39:41.000And it's a wonder somebody didn't get killed and so I got up to the top of the hill and the reason why I'm telling you this story is There's a motorcycle cop up there from the Capitol Hill Police and I go dude What the what what's going on here?
00:39:57.000It's like how do you not do anything about that?
00:40:19.000The other story that caught my eye was just this week in D.C., 16th Street, I think, somewhere in Northwest, an NFL player, okay, who has to look formidable, okay, an NFL player got shot by two kids With guns, 15 years old, they were trying to charge it.
00:41:20.000I think it's cascading out of control.
00:41:24.000Rudy Giuliani thing, when he was first coming onto the scene and came with the James Q. Wilson broken window theory, the idea that if you let one broken window go without repair, then you'll get a lot of broken windows.
00:41:40.000No, my thought is that in democratic cities, being soft on crime gets you elected, but then you have a crime problem, but you can't suddenly be tough on crime because then you'll lose your seat, right?
00:41:51.000I'm trying to find out who the heck these people are who are voting for these people.
00:42:18.000I think one of the problem with cities, and this is I believe an inevitability, I remember when I got wrongly pulled over in Chicago and I couldn't do anything about it.
00:42:37.000So what happens then is, when you get cops that are using quota systems, or in Chicago it's real dark where they have black sites where they will arrest people and bring them without anyone knowing and beat them and things like that.
00:42:49.000There was one guy who was electrocuting people to force confessions.
00:42:52.000When you arrest people or give them tickets because you need to make money off them, you're criminalizing regular people who then demand that this stop.
00:43:01.000And they say, we don't want this anymore.
00:43:39.000A lot of their narratives, I think, are insane, right? We learned from, say, like,
00:43:42.000I think it was the Washington Post, something like between nine and 19 unarmed black men were
00:43:47.000shot in, like, 2019. Not thousands, like Black Lives Matter was trying to claim.
00:43:51.000But I'm talking to my friend who lives in a, you know, in the Baltimore area,
00:43:55.000and they were like, I don't care about any of that.
00:43:57.000I want to get rid of the cops because they keep pulling us over on BS charges or BS claims and giving us tickets, and I'm like, okay, I have no argument for that.
00:44:04.000Like, what am I supposed to say to them?
00:44:05.000But Philadelphia did that, and they are having continued problems.
00:44:08.000I mean, Philadelphia- Oh, and then it just falls apart.
00:44:11.000When people, what I hear from my suburbanite friends and the police is, I got pulled over for BS reasons and they gave me a ticket, I'm sick of the cops.
00:44:21.000And maybe that's fine if you're in a low-crime, well-off suburb, but then when you start electing people who are like, yeah, we hate cops too, and start gutting them, you get what's going on in Portland, you get what's going on in New York, you get rampant violent crime, you get what's going on in D.C.
00:44:34.000and Baltimore, and it's all getting worse, and then you know what these people who voted for it do?
00:44:39.000They leave and they come to your area and then say, okay, it's kind of nice here.
00:44:42.000Then they get mad at the way things are being run and then they vote and get it again.
00:44:46.000Well Portland, Portland breaks my heart and the idea this dual system of justice where you observe for over a hundred days I was in the administration during this they were just burning stuff down just breaking stuff down and then back to our FBI story I think there's a thread here it's like the two things I didn't mention which are on the FBI as well it's like The whole Gretchen Whitmer thing where they had more FBI informants trying to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer than they had a non-FBI informants.
00:45:25.000And what was the motivation behind that?
00:45:27.000You know when they broke that story, Tim?
00:45:29.000I don't know if you remember, but it was in October, early October, right before the election.
00:45:34.000And it was designed basically to tar Trump with the right wing brush.
00:46:21.000Don't forget who was the Secretary of Defense at the time.
00:46:29.000It was the Mark Esper, Mark Milley show and those guys turned out to be clowns.
00:46:38.000One of the tragedies of the first Trump term was all of the people who didn't belong there in powerful positions.
00:46:49.000There is a part of me that's worried about people like Millie, you know, because I view them as deeply corrupt and insane individuals, but I also thought about, I'm like, well, they're cowards too, so I really have nothing to worry about.
00:47:05.000To the extent that you divert your attention and resources and organizational culture away from combat readiness, And the development of the next generation of defensive weapons to protect us against Russia and China and instead Go down all the roads they've gone down It's it's a very very damaging thing.
00:47:30.000I mean the the the military is in in deep Deep trouble right now, morale-wise, combat readiness-wise, and everything in between.
00:47:41.000And it's because of people like Milley and feckless defense secretaries like Esper.
00:47:48.000I mean, to me, it's like, Esper, what the hell?
00:47:52.000Why'd you keep the National Guard far enough away that they couldn't be quickly deployed when you damn well knew That there could be violence that day.
00:48:05.000One working theory is, is that Pelosi told the Capitol Hill police to go lightly, open the barricades under duress if you needed to.
00:48:15.000The FBI put, put agitators in there and Milley and Esper kept the National Guard far enough away that they couldn't come to the rescue in time.
00:48:56.000Meaning that if you put the wrong people in, you're going to get the wrong policies reflected in your administration.
00:49:02.000The Taking Back Trump's America book takes that a step further.
00:49:06.000It's that bad personnel not only create bad policy, but bad politics.
00:49:11.000And I go in the Taking Back Trump's America book, I go chapter and verse from The beginning, where the original sin of that administration was to get in bed with the rhinos, and then we got people like Tillerson at State, we got Mattis at Defense, we had Gary Cohn, Goldman Sachs guy of all people, leading the economic policy.
00:49:34.000Inside the White House. We lose Mike Flynn to the Russia hoax Russia gate thing and we wind up with the globalist
00:50:23.000Was it 70 federal agents were injured in the rioting?
00:50:26.000And more, it was like hundreds total throughout several days.
00:50:30.000The smoke, all... Well, no, the issue is that this is the way things work in the victim, in fifth generational warfare, I'll put it that way.
00:50:39.000On 5-29, Trump stopped an insurrection, so who cares?
00:50:44.000On 1-6, no one stopped a quote-unquote insurrection, so it's endless news.
00:50:49.000And instead of blaming law enforcement for their failure, they blame the individuals who went there.
00:50:54.000And I'm not talking about the people who were actually violent and rioting, by all means, you know, charge and arrest those people.
00:50:59.000I'm talking about the people who walked in confused, and the barricades were open, the doors were open, and didn't see violence, and just were led in by cops taking selfies with people.
00:51:22.000The narrative would be that the far-left has gone insane, they've crossed the line, they burned down buildings, but Trump stopped them.
00:51:27.000So there is no narrative about far-left violence.
00:51:30.000Whenever the far-left goes out of control, they punch people, they beat people, the media doesn't cover it.
00:51:34.000The only time there was ever a really big national story was when Andy Ngo was brutally beaten in the street and they had no choice because the photos were horrific.
00:51:42.000But you see, the right always tries to stop the left from going out of control.
00:51:47.000And then if the right ever, ever puts one toe over the line, the media screams Screams on top of their lungs.
00:51:55.000So that's, that's, that's, it's that simple.
00:51:57.000And I can only assume that Pelosi and the Democrats understand that.
00:52:02.000That when, there's a video of a guy, he's watching January 6th happen.
00:52:07.000People are going in the building and he looks at the cops and he goes, stop them!
00:52:13.000Makes you wonder, not that I know for sure, but I tell you this, there were barely any cops there when there were hundreds of thousands of people that were down there in D.C.
00:52:22.000Why did they let these people do this?
00:52:25.000There were some cops there trying to stop them, that I get, but seriously?
00:52:30.000The seat of the federal government could not stop 800 people from walking through a building?
00:52:40.000That the federal government had no ability.
00:52:42.000Okay, if the federal government is that weak, that pathetic, and that ineffective, this country is already doomed.
00:52:51.000800 people showed up and we were helpless to stop them.
00:52:53.000That's the narrative of the January 6th committee.
00:52:56.000That the federal government has become feckless, weak, pathetic, and ineffective.
00:52:59.000So my response is, okay, if they can't stop 800 people from walking through a building and they're carrying sticks, maybe we should strip them all of their funding because it's a big fat waste of money.
00:53:47.000You know, AOC lied about what happened on January 6th.
00:53:50.000She fabricated a story claiming that I thought I was gonna die because they made it to my office, even though her story happened an hour before the Capitol was breached.
00:54:25.000They weren't stopping us because they didn't want the optics of a bunch of military breaking people's faces, getting into fights, opening fire maybe on the crowd, although Ashley Babbitt was opened fire upon.
00:54:34.000They also would have an opportunity then to claim like, we were being attacked, we need more funding for defense, which is a big win.
00:54:40.000But the downside is, if they actually betrayed us and didn't defend our capital, that's a big down, that's a big problem.
00:54:48.000And the idea is, this is what I always see in the memes, this is what they have to do.
00:54:53.000They have to conflate anyone who opposes the Democratic establishment and the Uniparty with Trump.
00:54:59.000Michael Malice and Dave Smith are great examples of this.
00:55:05.000And it's a meme now, that if you come out and say something about Biden, they respond by saying, oh yeah, but Trump.
00:55:12.000And so you can literally be like, You know, Biden did a bad job here, and they're like, yeah, well, Trump did a bad job here, and you can go, yeah, okay, I don't care, I don't like Trump, and they still will treat you like you're a Trump supporter.
00:55:22.000Hunter Biden could have the bodies of children in his basement, but Trump- Did you see this Sam Harris thing?
00:55:55.000But then, to ignore the fact that Hunter Biden is shown colluding with foreign interests, potentially involving his father, who's the president, assuming... Sam, you're saying that's not worse?
00:56:11.000I think it would have been better if there was nothing about crack, nothing about sex whatsoever at all on the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:56:21.000And allowed us just to focus on the real pornography, which was the treason to this country.
00:56:27.000I mean, that thing hit me so close to home because I spent four years in the White House trying to get manufacturing jobs back from China, factories back from China.
00:56:39.000And Hunter's going over there, leveraging the power of Daddy to get a billion dollars from the Chinese to buy factories in Michigan and ship them back over there.
00:57:04.000They try to shape the narrative in a way I think it's the other way around.
00:57:11.000I think they assume that's what other people think.
00:57:13.000Therefore, they're saying what they think they have to say.
00:57:16.000I think it's an ends justify the means.
00:57:22.000In the Taking Back Trump's America book there's a whole section on the media and the theme about it is daily control to dominate the news cycle.
00:57:32.000If you're in the White House you understand that that's your mission every day in the White House if you're in the press corps, right?
00:57:39.000You want to dominate the news cycle in a way which makes your guy look favorable, right?
00:57:45.000And what we fought every day was a media willing to take whatever news there was and misinformationalize it.
00:57:56.000You know, they put it in their blender, right?
00:58:00.000And there might be like a story in Neutral Times which would be the number one story.
00:59:02.000Look, not every single person, obviously, but when I look to the people I know in my life who voted for Joe Biden, they're staring at record gas prices.
00:59:22.000If a recession stops, Trump, bring on a recession.
00:59:25.000Actually calling for pain and suffering of working class people.
00:59:29.000And the best part is, right now with this student debt forgiveness thing, seeing these people on the left be like, we need to get student debt forgiveness, it's about the working class.
00:59:38.000And I'm like, bro, College degree holders are not the working class, they're the bourgeoisie.
00:59:58.000They're, they're deserving of all of this.
01:00:01.000Meanwhile, there's a guy who's making half the salary they get writing articles about Brad Pitt's junk and he's actually doing something for society.
01:00:09.000You got working class people who build things, who clean things, who fix things.
01:00:13.000And then you got people who are like arts degree holders who are like, the government should pay off my, my debts.
01:00:30.000I don't think we can continue to function with people who... Look, I don't like the idea of people taking out loans and then being like, I'm not going to pay them back.
01:00:37.000But I also don't like the idea of how the interest rates have made it so that somebody who takes out a $30,000 loan ends up paying back $100,000.
01:00:46.000We'll forgive your loans, but you've got to do four hours per week of community service at your own discretion, signed off on by a non-profit or a church.
01:00:53.000We credit you $50 an hour for that community service, and so long as you're engaged in that once per week, your loans are frozen and can only go down.
01:01:11.000I think the fact that we tell 18-year-olds the only way to succeed in this country is to get a degree that's worth an insane amount of money because we made it so you have to... that will cost you.
01:01:40.000Why would you ever think this is a good idea?
01:01:42.000Except for the fact that you can trap people who are desperate to try and pursue this idea that college gives you an opportunity, which in this country at this point, it really does not.
01:01:50.000It did until about 2006, when you could study online.
01:01:55.000I just think that the bachelor's degree is an oversaturated market, and so now we have to drive everyone to get their master's, which is farther in student debt, which you can't declare bankruptcy on, and just goes on and on and on and on.
01:02:46.000I mean, the joke is online that you get your bachelor's degree and then you apply for an entry-level job and they're like, do you have five years of professional experience?
01:03:17.000Obama paid back and bailed those companies out.
01:03:19.000I do not want to bail them out again in the guise of a loan repayment.
01:03:23.000If they want to negate Sallie Mae's books and say you're worth 580 billion less now and these people are not giving you that 10 grand back each, that's another story.
01:03:33.000Whether or not it bankrupts Sallie Mae, I don't know.
01:03:36.000Maybe that's not even the worst thing in the world.
01:03:37.000I'm sure they would say, oh, that would destroy the entire economy if you bankrupted Sallie Mae.
01:04:11.000I am okay with saying it's not a key way to employment.
01:04:13.000I think what you want to do right now To educate yourself is download a survival guide, learn how to raise livestock, and some rudimentary engineering.
01:04:24.000Because even Mark Ruffalo, in an interview about whether or not he's going to be the Hulk, he was like, well, the way things are going, hopefully I'm still around and there's a world that can exist to do this.
01:04:35.000So even he's kind of thinking, maybe this is all going to implode and the world's going to end.
01:04:39.000I mean, the paradigm has shifted with the access to online education.
01:04:43.000I remember back when I was at University of California, Irvine, teaching back in the 90s.
01:04:47.000I was actually one of the first pioneers of online education back then.
01:04:55.000People inside the university were totally against it because it basically gave direct access to students in a cheap way and it threatened the whole tenure paradigm and things like that.
01:05:10.000And so I think today there's a lot less need for the kind of four-year college thing that people do.
01:05:19.000I mean just go, there's so much you can learn online and be done with that.
01:05:25.000And I always felt bad that these people would take on these huge loans.
01:05:28.000I mean it's in a lot of ways it's a scam and you know my professor elites I mean, we had it pretty good, right?
01:05:35.000You know, you kick back and you don't pay as much attention to teaching as you should and things like that.
01:06:30.000Two feet wide and the knobs on it were like tiny and there was a wheel that would click you know to like you're spinning through the frequencies or whatever and the funny thing is I thought about I'm like when this thing was sold the guy who sold it that was all he did.
01:06:45.000He worked quite literally at a radio store and he fed a family of four Yeah.
01:08:02.000So, you know, you're talking about the power of the internet, people's ability to speak, but I'm going to jump to the story as kind of a hard segue.
01:08:09.000Post Millennial reports Truth Social banned from Google App Store over content moderation.
01:08:14.000A Google spokesperson said that Truth Social lacks content moderation needed to meet Google Play's terms of service.
01:08:22.000According to The Hill, the spokesperson said that Truth lacks... Okay, so they wrote that twice.
01:08:26.000This comes after TruthSocial's CEO Devin Nunes claimed last week that the Android version of the platform's app is ready, waiting only on Google's approval.
01:08:34.000On August 19th, we notified TruthSocial of several violations of standard policies in their current app submission and reiterated that having effective systems for moderating user-generated content is a condition of our terms for any app to go live on Google Play.
01:09:33.000Whoever is going to be the next Secretary of the Department of Education, Needs a vision somewhere somewhere along the line, but this bigger issue of the the social media conglomerates You know I get back to the FBI working hand-in-hand with Twitter Facebook and by the way, there's a there's a there's a there's a fascinating funny Tragic story in the taking back Trump's America book as to how Twitter and Facebook wound up being so aggressive against Trump in 2020 I don't know if you guys know this
01:10:07.000But after Trump won the election in 2016, Brad Parscale, who was at that point during the 2016 campaign the social media director, he became the campaign manager in 2020, he goes on 60 Minutes And in the big reveal, as he's claiming victory for the Trump victory through his manipulation of social media, he reveals that Twitter and Facebook had employees inside the Trump campaign actively trying to help the Trump campaign message, right?
01:10:45.000And as soon as that news hit, all hell broke loose.
01:10:49.000across this country, and particularly in Silicon Valley.
01:10:52.000And it was at that point where Jack Dorsey of Twitter, Zuckerberg of Facebook, Pichai at Google said, not in 2020!
01:11:06.000And it's very clear now, in hindsight, that social media did everything they could to skew that election in favor of Biden and against Trump.
01:11:55.000I was saying for a long time that Trump should have gotten off of Twitter, launched his own platform, or used Minds or Gab or something like that.
01:12:33.000And one of the things that's been really interesting about getting on Getter, it has all the functionality of Twitter with a lot more elegance and livestream capabilities.
01:12:42.000But what I'll do is I'll post identical content on Twitter and on Getter and then watch what happens.
01:12:52.000And what you see is the shadow banning that Twitter does.
01:12:57.000You can have exactly the same amount of followers on both platforms.
01:13:04.000And you get much more social engagement on Getter because of the algorithms that lay deep
01:13:26.000A couple of times I've tweeted on Twitter about this, and I guess the twit sensors are active shadow banning.
01:13:37.000And for a little time after that, things got a little better.
01:13:41.000It's scary that that's the way it works.
01:13:44.000And remember, Tim, it's like when Zuckerberg's talking about how he was able to suppress information about the Hunter Biden laptop, it was like he was explaining he did it through algorithms, which would suppress the information from coming up to the top layers.
01:15:10.000Did you always, you use Getter as your alternative platform?
01:15:15.000Interesting, Getter, I think it launched in July over a year ago and what you saw was the collapse of Twitter stock.
01:15:32.000Which is really, if you look at it, I mean Twitter is in many ways a dying company.
01:15:36.000It's like for Elon Musk to go in and buy it, it's like there were people On my side of the fence who thought that was a good idea.
01:15:44.000Oh, we're gonna liberate Twitter, but in fact Twitter was dying Okay, it's like because because other platforms were coming on that that really did it its job better without the censorship So, yeah, I don't know how that how that game will play out but It's so the other thing that that that's so embedded now If you go to like a newspaper article In the mainstream media, right?
01:16:41.000I think, oh man, it's a depressing, monumental task, what it feels like right now, because you can't break up Facebook.
01:16:48.000Break up Facebook, you're going to have Facebook Messenger, Facebook Prime, Instagram.
01:16:52.000You're going to have all these separate companies.
01:16:53.000Zuckerberg's going to still own them all.
01:16:54.000He's still going to have all the code, and the monopoly is still going to be there.
01:16:57.000So I think the only way to do it, or at least the best way to do it, is to make them free their software code.
01:17:02.000You force them to open up their algorithms so that other people can not only watch, What they're shadow banning, if they're shadow banning it, what they're tweaking, if they're tweaking, but that you can actually take it and spin up your own version of the website that interoperates with their site.
01:17:16.000So like, if I'm on Facebook, I can see people that have your version of it.
01:17:19.000If I'm on your version of it, I can see people on Facebook, but there's like, now there's competition, but it's becomes less competition of code, more competition of terms of service.
01:17:28.000So what system has the best terms of service?
01:17:30.000Which one's screwing you over the least?
01:17:34.000I mean, one good thing about the Musk thing with this lawsuit is that he may have subpoena power or deposition power to get to the truth about what they actually do.
01:19:05.000And as long as he's doing that, That's not good for America, and by the way, that's why he's not as warm to Trump, okay?
01:19:16.000He doesn't love Trump, because Trump is the one guy, he wants to find some Republican he can embrace that won't shut his Tesla companies down, come as China.
01:19:28.000The wealthy elites are hedging their bets with China.
01:19:40.000I gotta talk to you about repositioning the United States as the top industrial power on Earth.
01:19:45.000I mentioned at the beginning of the show that we can recapture carbon from the atmosphere.
01:19:49.000We're gonna start mining the carbon dioxide out of the air and the methane out of the air, turning it into carbon dioxide.
01:19:53.000Depositing it onto different metals, palladium, gold, copper, or putting it through other chemicals to turn it into graphene, which is pure carbon, hexagonally latticed, like a honeycomb lattice, single layer of carbon, pure carbon.
01:20:07.000And it's conductive, like more conductive than copper.
01:20:16.000It's going to be the 21st century building material.
01:20:18.000And if we start this mining operation now in the United States, we'll be able to say, hey, because what's going to happen is people are going to start mining it and they're going to start mining too much.
01:20:27.000If we're not careful, they'll start competing with the trees and they'll start killing off the trees because we've taken all the carbon dioxide too much out.
01:20:32.000So we need to work with the globe to figure out how much carbon we're supposed to be putting out and taking back.
01:20:39.000But I think it could be a multi-trillion dollar industry at the very least.
01:20:43.000I don't think it has to be about money at this point, because it's really about the sustainability and survival of our species.
01:20:47.000But I think the United States is the place to build it.
01:20:50.000We talked offline before the show about the insanity of trying to solve the carbon issue on the demand side, because no matter how much we save here in the U.S., China and India is going to do more.
01:21:07.000There's a mathematical equation that tracks this.
01:21:10.000If you start to, let's say we replace energy consumption, we replace our energy sources with nuclear.
01:21:17.000We start setting up these nuclear power plants.
01:21:19.000Then you will have people buying carbon-based fossil fuels.
01:21:24.000for other purposes. Basically, with cheap energy availability, people still want to grow and expand
01:21:31.000and use more energy. So if you were to replace the entire US grid with nuclear power, that's great.
01:21:36.000We would reduce our carbon footprint, and then everyone would be like, awesome, now the energy
01:21:40.000is so cheap, I can buy more gas to do these things. So I'm with you on what we should have
01:21:49.000been doing for a long time now and haven't been, is working on carbon capture, ways to do that.
01:21:56.000That's really the only sensible kind of thing.
01:21:59.000And I go back to my first job in government in the 70s in the Department of Energy, a summer intern, right?
01:22:09.000And I was like trying to figure out how to reduce our oil import dependence on the Middle East because it was causing wars and embargoes and poverty and all that kind of stuff like that.
01:22:22.000Never, ever did I imagine in the 1970s could this country ever become energy independent.
01:22:30.000But we did that during the Trump administration because of a change in technology, fracking.
01:22:36.000And so, this is how I think we're going to get out of the climate change box, if you believe we're in one.
01:22:43.000It's that carbon capture has to be the only sensible way to do that. Otherwise, you're going to force Americans to
01:22:52.000save, you know, your family saves a pound of carbon and meanwhile the Chinese create two
01:23:01.000They wind up being the leaders of the world and the prosperous country and we can't have
01:23:08.000that for a lot of reasons. I want to jump to this next story from the Daily Mail.
01:23:12.000Mississippi's largest city runs out of water indefinitely.
01:23:16.000Over 180,000 people are left without drinking water and can't flush their toilets or take showers after floods made Jackson's water treatment plant fail.
01:23:25.000Jackson, Mississippi ran out of water indefinitely, leaving more than 180,000 residents without water.
01:23:30.000Governor Tate Reeves announced on Monday the city's failing water system was completely down due to years of poor infrastructure.
01:23:36.000Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba So I just want to tell you this, you know, when I tell people the education you're going to need right now is how to survive.
01:23:49.000I hope the people of Jackson know how to pull water from the air.
01:23:56.000Well, I mean, you don't really need to do that.
01:23:58.000You can just put a piece of plastic at an angle and then bend the bottom so it goes into a cup.
01:24:02.000You can catch humidity out of the air, or you can dig tunnels underground where the wind goes underground and then condenses and then creates like a puddle of water underground.
01:24:08.000Yeah, I mean like the basic thing is you dig a hole, you put a cup in it, you put plastic wrap, and then the condensation trickles down.
01:24:15.000But they have these big things you can buy.
01:24:16.000They're just plastic sheets that roll down into tubes.
01:24:19.000You put it up, and in the morning, all of the humidity condenses, then goes down, you get some water.
01:24:24.000But, uh, anyway, look, I don't think that's gonna be practical for a city of 180,000 people, but when you see stuff like this, this should be a cold splash of water on the face.
01:26:09.000We can snap our fingers and send money to a foreign country that's not us, put our troops on their border, pull our border patrol and send them to Poland.
01:26:19.000It's frightening how, particularly in this age we're in, in the Biden stagflation economy, how many people in this country live paycheck to paycheck to paycheck.
01:26:29.000I mean, with the turn A quick turn of the screw here, there's going to be even more pain that we're already suffering.
01:26:40.000I mean, there's a lot of people now who can't pay their mortgages, who can't pay their rent, and that message somehow You don't read much about that in New York Times or see it on CNN or something.
01:26:55.000I'm really concerned with the student loan stuff because of this, because like if someone's struggling to pay their mortgage and then they find out that they got $10,000 siphoned away from them to pay for some college guy, that there's going to be a class hatred just like Soviet Union, man.
01:27:09.000I do not like where this... A mortgage strike like in China?
01:27:53.000Now, I'm glad you raised that, because the last time I was here was about a year.
01:27:58.000We talked about, okay, this is going to be really cool going to your new studio and this thing, and the other thing, and it's like, Brian gets me in the car and is like, where are we going?
01:28:51.000And it's because the materials are unavailable.
01:28:55.000People don't see this stuff because, you know, look, most people aren't dealing with ordering steel, for instance, or putting up a building.
01:29:03.000So they don't see that behind the scenes, the core materials that we need.
01:29:06.000Did you know that one of the largest aluminum plants in this country shut down?
01:29:10.000Do you remember that story, Hannah-Claire?
01:29:20.000And the reason why they can't afford the electricity anymore is because the price of aluminum has been driven down by subsidized Chinese aluminum.
01:29:33.000That's like one of the things that I fought in the White House.
01:29:37.000You know, we put in place Steel and aluminum tariffs to provide a defense against that kind of stuff.
01:31:12.000Let's take it to the reality again what I did in the Trump administration.
01:31:16.000I think everything you're saying underscores the need to produce domestically.
01:31:23.000It's not just to have the steel Factories here themselves, but to have the supply chains that go with it and we got hooked starting back 1960s on these these globalized supply chains because it was cheaper.
01:31:42.000Yeah, that's the idea and no one ever factored in the appropriate geopolitical risk of being being dependent on a China or Russia for energy or whatever and And it was all about also cheap labor.
01:32:01.000So that's why everything got out there.
01:32:04.000And I spent four years in the White House trying to do the Buy American thing, trying to make sure.
01:32:09.000I mean, you take, like, one of the achievements I think we had was I did a Buy American executive order on essential pharmaceuticals, okay?
01:32:25.000You've got the finished Dosage product itself, right and then you've got the intermediate chemicals you need to make it and then you got raw materials and the problem we have is That those first two stages are completely almost all Offshore, okay as well as a good part of the finished dosage stuff.
01:34:27.000It starts with your downstream politics here.
01:34:31.000You know, politics maybe are downstream to economics.
01:34:34.000Well, what you're saying about the medical production or biomedical production, I mean, the Biden administration just signed this $11 million deal to bring the last step of manufacturing the monkeypox vaccine to the U.S.
01:34:48.000They're manufacturing, I believe, in Michigan.
01:34:51.000So in some ways they are doing what you're saying, just only when forced to in complete crisis.
01:34:56.000Well, yeah, there's about 400 essential medicines that we need in our cabinet, and certainly, okay, great, you got the monkey pox done, but what have you done lately for all of the Advanced pharmaceutical ingredients, the API and the raw materials you need for insulin, for example, or whatever it is.
01:35:26.000And I'm just telling you that for a lot of reasons that stuff's, the most basic stuff's in India and China because they don't have any environmental rules and that's kind of nasty, nasty to do.
01:35:38.000And I was able to, there's a company called Flow, it's P-H-L-O-W, I was able to get Get some grant money for them.
01:35:48.000And they had a process where they did all three stages under one building.
01:35:56.000So you were able to get economies of scale and scope across that.
01:36:00.000And those are the kinds of things, I mean, we've never, we can't compete as a manufacturing country Worker for worker.
01:36:08.000What we have to do is we gotta produce more efficiently by having the best and smartest machines wedded to the best and smartest labor.
01:36:20.000All right, we're gonna go to Super Chats.
01:36:21.000If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, head over to TimCast.com.
01:36:27.000We're gonna have a members-only show coming up at about 11 p.m., so you don't wanna miss that.
01:36:32.000Plus, check out the new Cast Castle episode, Marjorie Taylor Greene is a special guest.
01:37:14.000It's like, if everybody pitched in a dollar, imagine what you could accomplish.
01:37:17.000Like, people would just own the culture.
01:37:19.000Well, you always say, like, stop giving money to people who hate you, and I think people think about it when they're buying products or shopping at restaurants, but like... shopping at restaurants...
01:37:27.000Eating out but when you are buying music or stream music you are doing the exact same thing you have the ability to influence Well, it's all you know, look Jeremy boring Daily Wire said stop giving money to people who hate you give it to me instead I'll just put it this way start giving money to people you like Yeah, or to people who are making things you like, you know, whoever that may be All right, Smokey Joe says never underestimate establishment GOP's ability to waste opportunity if they eke out their win It won't be celebration, but an enormous wash of relief Oof.
01:37:59.000False God Dark Soul says pop culture crisis is greater than IRL.
01:38:35.000But you guys don't have the lights and the money guns.
01:38:37.000Like, it's a different experience here.
01:38:38.000Yeah, so for those that aren't familiar, Pop Culture Crisis is a pop culture show that we launched and it's more fun pop culture, not political.
01:38:46.000And then whenever $100 in Super Chats comes in, money guns start firing guns into the air and the lights go off.
01:38:51.000Anytime you Super Chat, the money guns go off.
01:38:53.000But when it's $100, we get like... A lot of them.
01:38:55.000You have to try and talk through while these lights are flashing their air horns.
01:38:58.000And you're like, I'm making an interesting point, I swear.
01:40:04.000They made us watch a video where a bunch of racist things were happening, where people were saying racist things to people, where people were encouraging racism.
01:40:10.000And then it's like, what specifically was it?
01:40:12.000You're not gonna get me to repeat the racisms, sorry.
01:40:46.000These are the kind of advanced manufacturing techniques that we could have been nurturing.
01:40:52.000There was a key point during the pandemic when we were trying to work with the Democrats on a stimulus bill, which at the time was appropriate given the mess We were in, and the battle was really over how you'd spend the money.
01:41:14.000And in the Trump side of the fence, what we wanted to do was use a bunch of that money to onshore manufacturing and build manufacturing under the assumption that if you were going to stimulate the economy and create rising real wages and prosperity, the best way to do that would be to have jobs here.
01:41:37.000And part of The money that would have been spent would be on these advanced manufacturing techniques so you could stay ahead of the sweatshops and pollution havens of Asia.
01:42:41.000Yeah, I think the next song is like in one month.
01:42:44.000Our plan is gonna- is gonna- So we gotta figure it out because there's only so much we can do, but we might be putting out like a piano, light, soft, you know, version of it.
01:42:56.000Because and then I think for a month from then the next song The next official song is we want to get out a new song every four weeks and definitely a new song every single month forever moving forward literally forever Be it from me or you know anybody else that we end up signing and things like that But it means we need to expand the operation.
01:43:17.000It means we need to generate revenue from the operation.
01:43:20.000And we're working with some rad dudes.
01:43:23.000I don't want to say too much, but there's a lot of interest.
01:43:42.000But because of all your support, now we've got people who are like, dude, let's make more, let's work together, and we've got some interest that's gonna help kick things up to the next level.
01:43:50.000Waffle Sensei says, Ian is out here doing the Lord's work, trying to spread the word about graphene and save the world.
01:43:55.000And my guy Tim here dressed in black block trying to shut him up, shaking my head.
01:44:59.000I'm an asynchronous kind of guy, so I'll catch that stuff later.
01:45:05.000I just—I have a really difficult time even watching Joe Biden.
01:45:10.000I remember during the campaign, it was very clear to me, and I said this repeatedly publicly, that this man was mentally diminished, that he would not serve out his full term, and that we were going to hand over the country to somebody who was both incompetent and corrupt.
01:45:29.000And, I mean, as old as he— Looked and acted on inauguration day.
01:45:35.000I mean, that man is, he's approaching ghoul-like, ghost-like.
01:46:23.000W Falcon says, Hey Tim, when are we going to get the Shane Cashman, your honesty is appreciated, but your reality is disgusting, coffee mug?
01:46:35.000Well, you know, we need to expand a lot.
01:46:37.000So we really need to just grow, hire more people, but there's only so many people we can hire because we're kind of at our limit.
01:46:45.000And, uh, so we need more people to sign up and watch Inverted World, more people to watch Cast Castle, and we're offering these things trying to get more and more people, and we're spending a lot of money in marketing.
01:48:31.000top-secret job and then they like go in but then there's an explosion they get blasted with radiation and then they all get superpowers and then like like Vin Diesel gets super speed and then you know Ludacris becomes like he gets like techno powers that were the techno kinesis he can control machines and then they're like flying around but then like there's because they already they already have superpowers in it in Hobbs and Shaw Idris Elba was a super soldier with like nanotech modifications like we're already here dude I want superhero Vin Diesel Do you have an opinion on Fast and the Furious, Peter Navarro?
01:49:44.000Peter Provenzano says, what have you, Trump and Bannon, learned about your bad personnel decisions, Milley, Esper, Bolton, etc., and how will it be fixed in the next administration?
01:49:54.000Well, in the Taking Back Trump's America book, I do offer the dream cabinet as well as the dream staffing of the White House.
01:50:03.000And as far as I can see, if they put somebody like one of my favorites back from the Trump days, this guy named Johnny McAtee, I met him during the campaign.
01:50:14.000He was originally one of the two body men for the boss.
01:50:18.000You know, we'd fly out on, we called it Trump Force One, right, which was the Trump plane where he'd go campaign and stuff like that.
01:50:27.000Johnny joined the administration, he got treated really badly by Chief of Staff Kelly, but he came back at the end to run the personnel decision.
01:50:36.000All you need is the McAtee filter on there to get the right people in.
01:50:44.000We've got to get Trump back in, but we've also got to get the right people in to run the world here.
01:50:49.000That's the most important thing, and also firing all the wrong people.
01:52:30.000Stephen Hartman says, I'd like to know this gentleman's opinion on nuclear power, its potential role in aiding in what seems to be a global energy crisis, and should we consider domestic production of uranium as an area of national importance and security?
01:52:42.000First book I ever wrote, 1984, The Dimming of America.
01:52:47.000The central thesis of that book is that bad regulation around the country was suppressing the development of coal and nuclear power plants and that would lead to electricity shortages in 2000.
01:53:03.000And I was in California when that and Enron hit.
01:53:08.000The trick with nuclear power, and it's a big trick, is to figure out how to build them safely, but again, apropos talking with Ian about technology, I mean, there's smaller, safer, modular kind of systems that can be built, standardized, and they have a place in our grid.
01:53:33.000I mean, this whole electric vehicle thing, the Biden administration keeps forgetting that in order for an electric vehicle to run, they need electricity.
01:53:42.000Have you seen nuclear diamond batteries?
01:53:45.000They're recovering spent nuclear fuel, like nuclear waste, and then they're putting it inside of diamond and it's creating a low charge for like, you get like 10,000 years of electrical charge.
01:53:54.000By the way, I buried the lead about DeSantis.
01:53:57.000In the Trading Back Trump's America book, I recommend DeSantis as the VP choice right away.
01:54:04.000If they can seal that deal, like now, that'll clear the field, and DeSantis should do that.
01:54:12.000Because then he'd be in the White House for 12 years.
01:55:33.000That's true, it's like, there's a meme where it's a woman holding a book and it's like, $120,000 in student loans, no job, in debt, wants you to pay for it.
01:55:42.000And then it's like a guy working on a telephone pole and it's like,
01:56:16.000We were like, hey, look, we did a song, and it's actually doing really, really well.
01:56:19.000In the past, like, two months, it's gotten, like, hundreds of thousands of hits on Spotify, which I didn't even realize just started doing really well.
01:56:25.000And then it's funny to see all these lefties saying that they liked the song, and then they realized it was from me, and they're like, oh, no.
01:56:50.000All right, Jeffrey Dubois says, Hey guys, I'm a big fan.
01:56:53.000Tim, can you set up a process for us to donate money to specific projects we want, like the website being developed or the app or some other project in the works?
01:59:25.000But there's a big thing happening because there's an all-ages drag show happening in Martinsburg, and all of a sudden everybody's starting to lose their minds, I guess.
01:59:36.000It's all being shared on the local forums, and they're like, why?
02:00:07.000We were looking at setting up an operation in Martinsburg, but I'm gonna steer clear of that stuff.
02:00:11.000And it's not just about the drag show for kids.
02:00:14.000It's that there was a diner that was closed at noon on a Saturday.
02:00:18.000And I'm just like, it's a bad place to buy property.
02:00:22.000There are people there think that it's coming up, it's the city in West Virginia, and I feel bad because I'd love to see West Virginia thrive, but not if that's the kind of thriving that comes to town when you start building it up, you know what I mean?
02:00:33.000So I'm kind of like, nah, go somewhere else, man.
02:00:37.000Yeah, maybe move further west into West Virginia.
02:00:42.000All right, we'll grab a couple more here.
02:00:44.000$102 says Fast and the Furious 23 Revengeance.
02:01:11.000Alright everybody, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, head over to TimCast.com and become a member to help support our work.
02:01:20.000We're gonna have a members-only show coming up in just a little bit, and click the link in the description below.
02:01:24.000It'll bring you over to Bandcamp, where it's very, very easy to just click buy the song for 69 cents if you want to support Only Ever Wanted.
02:01:31.000If you guys buy enough, we might actually chart, which would be really cool.
02:01:34.000Otherwise, buy the song and check it out, or it's available on all streaming platforms if you want to check it out there, and we're gonna be releasing a lot more.
02:01:40.000The goal with this is just to make culture.
02:01:42.000And, uh, look, I would have been satisfied if the song came out and had like, you know, 50 to 100k hits and we were like, you know, that's all it is.
02:01:49.000Instead, it's got like a million plus, you know, combined on all these other platforms and it's kind of crazy.
02:02:30.000About a year ago, in the earlier book—this is the planned second book of the three memoirs from my White House years—but I decided, given the Biden fiasco, to make sure that this was prospective as a way of Right on, man.
02:04:40.000It is a similar format show to this, but it's actually the more fun version.
02:04:45.000Like, we laugh sometimes, but Pop Culture Crisis is like money guns firing off while people are talking, landing in coffee, and talking about games, TV shows, movies, so... Yes.
02:04:54.000It was meant to be more entertainment, where we're very serious and screaming, like, the end is near, Civil War!
02:05:00.000Alex Jones comes on, he's banging on the table about how he's a gorilla, and you know, actually that's pretty fun.
