On today's show, we talk about the Kerry Lake trial, the bombshell evidence from the People's Pundit, Big Data, and Richard Barris, and the closing arguments. Plus, Sam Bankman Freed somehow got his bail paid for the biggest bond in history, and is being released. Plus, this one's crazy.
00:00:30.000I don't know about you guys, but I was glued to the Kerry Lake Trial all day.
00:00:34.000And it was rough, because I'm just sitting there, I gotta work, but I can't stop watching because the testimony is riveting.
00:00:40.000And I believe that there was, once again, bombshell evidence provided, this time from the People's Pundit, big data polling, Richard Barris, very, very interesting testimony.
00:00:49.000And then we got the closing arguments, which in my opinion, I'm not gonna mince words, I think the defense had a good argument.
00:00:58.000And the plaintiff, this is Kerouac's lawyers, I think did not hit the nail on the head with a hammer, but we will see.
00:01:05.000This really just depends on whether or not the judge is willing to adhere, I suppose.
00:01:22.000This is, uh, and data, but it's going to depend on whether or not the judge agrees it was intentionally done to hurt Carey Lake, which is, let's be honest, very, very difficult, if not impossible, to prove.
00:01:34.000But it does seem that the plaintiff, Carey Lake's team, did provide evidence that there was intent, at the very least, whether or not it was intent to actually subvert the election.
00:01:43.000We don't, we don't, we don't have that.
00:01:44.000And that may be where the judge comes back and says, nope, Carey Lake, you're out.

00:02:56.000Joining us today to talk about this, and boy is it perfect, we got Blake Masters.
00:03:55.000He said it's on the path to bankruptcy in, what, a couple months?
00:03:59.000He said it was a plane with the engines on fire, the controls aren't working, but he did say he thinks he can get it cash flow even by next year.
00:04:27.000The truth is whatever the government wants it to be.
00:04:30.000Just don't believe the evidence of your eyes and ears and you could be a trendy slave by representing your larger compliance with this shirt on TheBestPoliticalShirts.com because you guys buy the shirts.
00:05:46.000One witness testified that he was given a sample of certain ballots, and he found that in all of the samplings, there were 19-inch images printed on 20-inch paper, which we know from both the defense and the plaintiff, the machines would reject that.
00:06:03.000He then testified the ballots were then duplicated, But the originals were not stored along with them, breaking chain of custody.
00:06:11.000And that's the one that's crazy me, like, is anybody talking about that?
00:06:14.000Like, if you fill out a ballot, and they told you to put it in box three, and you did, because it didn't count, they would duplicate it and run the duplicate through the machine, and then they lost the original.
00:06:23.000So how do we compare these two and know they're actually the same?
00:06:41.000Today we heard from the People's Pundit, Richard Barris.
00:06:44.000He said that exit polling returns for Election Day were substantially lower than anything he's ever seen ever.
00:06:52.000I think he said something like 72% when he normally looks for around 95-98% returns.
00:06:57.000And he believes this is because people were not able to vote, so thus they did not come back.
00:07:04.000Now this was challenged but he basically said due to the errors they talked to voters, voters said that there were long lines and there were tabulation machine problems and because of that he believes people did experience issues, people reported issues and thus a substantial amount of voters were disenfranchised.
00:07:19.000They argued against this today but I think it's particularly compelling but keep in mind it's not definitive proof, it's circumstantial evidence.
00:07:25.000Ultimately what we end up getting in the closing arguments And this was really good for the defense.
00:07:31.000Your Honor, you instructed in your ruling that the plaintiff would have to prove intentional misconduct with the intent to basically subvert the election or flip it in another direction, and they have not proven that.
00:07:48.000That's important, because the judge is going to be like, you're right, you can't prove an individual acted intentionally in an effort to hurt Carrie Lake, therefore, even if the ballots are invalid or otherwise, it doesn't matter.
00:07:59.000That makes no sense to me, because if I trip and fall and accidentally subvert an election, that election got subverted, so it would be no good, you'd have to do a new one.
00:08:06.000It doesn't matter what my intentions were.
00:08:08.000But I guess, as per the law, the judge ruled, if you can prove that someone intentionally acted to alter the outcome of the election, Then that was the stipulation for what they needed to win, and it appears the only evidence they presented was that, yes, at I think it was like six locations they tested, they found the ballot tabulators were misconfigured.
00:08:32.000The only way the misconfiguration could happen is if someone intentionally altered the printer settings.
00:08:38.000And then the defense contends, okay, and even if someone intentionally did that, you can't prove the person who did did it to hurt Kerry Lake, therefore we win.
00:08:47.000If you intentionally do something that subverts an election, it doesn't matter if it was about — Kerry is not even — it doesn't make sense.
00:08:57.000If they intentionally changed it to a 19-inch ballot, then that was intent.
00:09:02.000Blake, what do you make of this, you know, court hearing?
00:09:05.000What's your assessment on what you're seeing?
00:09:07.000Well, I think the standard that the judge is requiring is even higher, right?
00:09:11.000It's actually Carrie's team had to show intent plus a different result.
00:09:16.000They had to show intent and the result would have been different but for all of these changes.
00:09:24.000We'll see what the judge rules tomorrow, right?
00:09:25.000But what's indisputable is that Carrie and her legal team have shown They've just put out in front of everybody, all these, call them, whether it's mistakes or active malfeasance, the election was really messed up.
00:10:10.000Had the polls stayed open one more hour, Abe would be going into his recount probably up a few thousand votes because those votes on election day were breaking heavily for Republicans.
00:10:19.000So Abe's was super close and I think that obviously swung it.
00:10:24.000I think she has a good claim that like, hey, if the printers worked and people could actually vote when they showed up, that she'd be the governor of Arizona.
00:10:30.000Let's, let's, let's, let's argue for the sake of argument.
00:10:34.000Let's say the voter tabulation problems and all that didn't exist.
00:10:38.000A witness testified that 298,000 ballots had no chain of custody.
00:10:44.000How can you verify where those ballots come from?
00:10:48.000And then you actually, I'm pretty sure the defense's own witness, I'm not sure if it was Jarrett, testified like, well yeah, we didn't track that.
00:11:01.000If I was a judge, and someone came to me and said, the margin's 17,000, and these 290,000 have no chain of custody, I'd say, well, okay, that's against the law, new election, end of story.
00:11:11.000I bet the judge won't do that, because the law doesn't say, hey, new election, right?
00:11:15.000And I think we need to change the state law.
00:11:17.000I think the state legislature should say, hey, if you can't prove chain of custody, you can't assume that's a fair election.
00:11:22.000But it appears that the burden of proof right now is on the Carrie Lake team.
00:11:25.000The judge is going to say, well, hey, okay, chain of custody, that was broken.
00:11:28.000That's technically a violation of the law.
00:11:46.000I have to imagine half of this state and let alone how the elections impact the rest of the country.
00:11:53.000But I mean, if I lived here and I was a voter and I was told in the press by the judge and by everyone, these ballots have no chain of custody, so we can't verify them, but we're going to count them anyway.
00:12:04.000How could I have faith in that system?
00:12:34.000And if no one can prove that you did it with the purpose of putting your thumb on the scale and that it actually mathematically changed the result, you can get away with it.
00:12:50.000I'm watching the trial, and there's a lot that has to be parsed through.
00:12:53.000But they initially testified that 19-inch ballots could not appear on 20-inch paper.
00:12:57.000Then, when the plaintiff's witness came up and said, actually, yeah, we have it, and they published images of this, they come back today and go, oh, actually, we knew about that problem.
00:13:34.000And there was lost chain of custody on these ballots.
00:13:36.000And they would just be like, yeah, well, you know.
00:13:39.000The crazy thing to me is this is the will of the people, of the utmost importance for our nation, for each state, for each jurisdiction, to know that we are governed with the consent of the people, but that they would come out and the judge would be like, yeah, these call into question the integrity of the election, but we're going to roll with it anyway.
00:13:58.000I mean, I think people are going to lose their minds if that ends up being the ruling.
00:14:01.000I'll tell you, there's already a lot of appetite for more election integrity in Arizona, right?
00:15:11.000And she's trying to prove that but for this incompetence, call it incompetence at best, malfeasance at worst, but for this incompetence, I would have won 17,000 votes.
00:15:24.000Let's say that Carrie Lake's initial argument was, I understand that it was one big misunderstanding by everybody, nobody intended to do this improperly, but clearly we can see that the vote margin could be different if not for all these tabulators being wrong.
00:16:00.000They're saying, regardless of the facts, there's a high standard that must be met.
00:16:04.000Meaning they could, the system in place right now would actually put a person in power who didn't win.
00:16:10.000I'm saying hypothetically, Just because the standard is too high to change it.
00:16:15.000I think it's insane, because if I were to do something like destroy someone's property, but I didn't do it to hurt them, that wasn't my intention.
00:16:22.000My intention was just like, oh, I didn't have an intention, I just actually destroyed your house, but I didn't intend to hurt you.
00:16:49.000Potentially, you could be driving in your car, and you could hit somebody, and it could be totally accidental, and you don't go to jail for it.
00:16:54.000So, the difference here is, that person still lost their life.
00:16:57.000We still acknowledge they lost their life.
00:17:40.000The Republicans should have spoken out more about Brian Kemp in Georgia for a similar reason.
00:17:44.000Well, it's also important to note that I think the Republicans were very divided this upcoming midterm election.
00:17:49.000We saw a lot of money that was sent in many different places, and I think, very surprisingly, it was a lot of Democratic super PACs that were supporting a lot of the Trump-backed candidates.
00:18:00.000But there's also an article here by Politico that's describing how Trump was splitting donations with you, Blake, 99 to 1.
00:18:27.000It's true insofar as it goes, but actually, you know, on that list share, President Trump was was sending out emails saying it done it to Blake on my behalf.
00:19:50.000They definitely didn't help me, but they sat out.
00:19:53.000What's your response to the story of Democratic super PACs financing a lot of the more populist
00:19:59.000candidates, a lot of the more Trump-backed candidates this midterm election?
00:20:03.000Because this was one of their strategies, and some people are saying it actually worked in their favor, and there was major Democratic organizations donating to those specific individuals.
00:20:10.000I'm not sure that happened in Arizona.
00:20:12.000You know, people thought that was happening.
00:20:41.000Yeah, mostly, um, I mean, mostly, you know, TV staff, obviously you got to cover your costs.
00:20:46.000And, and, uh, mostly we had volunteer door knockers and it was a grassroots lean operation, but, uh, but staff and then mostly TV and advertising, right?
00:20:53.000TV, radio, digital, you got to get the message out.
00:21:26.000People can see through it and it's like, well...
00:21:28.000If you go four months and you deploy like 50 million dollars against somebody telling people that they're a monster, they might actually believe it on the margin, right?
00:21:40.000I would love to run a commercial, like it's too late now, but maybe I'll consider this in the future where it's just like one of those campaign ads where it's black and white and it'll be like, Mark Kelly went to outer space.
00:21:49.000How do we know an alien didn't replace him?
00:22:25.000And all of a sudden there's a, there's a vote in the system by a low propensity voter.
00:22:30.000So I just want to ask you just advertising is quite effective.
00:22:32.000I just want to ask you one question, just going along with this conversation.
00:22:34.000What did you learn from this election and what would you be doing differently if you could go back and change anything?
00:22:40.000Going back, I think we'd have to focus more on early voting.
00:22:45.000Harvesting is technically illegal, but there's nothing illegal about tracking ballots and actually raising money to go.
00:22:50.000It's almost a bigger project than one campaign could do, but certainly as a party we need to get better at understanding we gotta be banking votes early. I think Kerry Lake and I, you know, we
00:23:00.000were working hard. We would fill gymnasiums, 500 people, thousand people, night
00:23:04.000after night. We were winning hearts and minds. We had the enthusiasm. We
00:23:08.000had, we were, look, we were chasing votes and the Dems had turned it into a
00:23:10.000mathematical ballot chasing operation. It's all it is now. And it was done very, very
00:23:15.000early and, you know, as soon as voting opened up in October, I think they were able to open up a lead.
00:23:19.000And so we got to get much more quantitative and mathematical about it early on.
00:23:22.000So our reporter, Shane Cashman, he's covering the Carrie Lake trial right now very heavily.
00:23:29.000He had to sit down with Carrie Lake, but he also got to sit down with Ye, Kanye West.
00:25:33.000These people are not politicians who are going to knock on your door.
00:25:35.000These are activist nonprofits who are just being like, as a regular old person, here's what you should do.
00:25:40.000That sounds like the government telling Twitter to censor for them.
00:25:43.000Like, just because they're not politicians, they're hired by politicians to do it?
00:25:47.000Look, if I'm a regular person and I knock on someone's door and say, I want you to vote for Blake Masters, that's just me as an individual.
00:25:59.000These are not the candidates necessarily doing it.
00:26:02.000To a certain degree, they probably do it to the legal extent they can.
00:26:05.000But what ends up happening is, I think one thing I want to stress is that a lot of Republicans didn't understand how Biden could have gotten so many votes.
00:26:13.000They didn't understand this going into 2022 even.
00:26:15.000And so we end up seeing what should have been a red wave come in substantially less.
00:26:20.000But it's not so much that the votes didn't come in, it's that Democrats got a ton of votes Through ballot harvesting and grassroots efforts, which is totally above board and legal, except because of universal mail-in voting laws and because of absentee voter lists which persist after the first time you sign up, it makes it extremely easy for urban centers to get out the vote and very difficult for rural voters.
00:26:39.000You were mentioning that the rural vote didn't turn out.
00:27:00.000In a major urban center where you've got one big housing unit with a hundred apartments, you knock on the door, no
00:27:05.000answer, you turn around physically and knock on the door and you get an answer.
00:27:09.000A major advantage to Democrats because they tend to be living in urban areas.
00:27:14.000Like you could argue it's like 1,300% more effective or like 1,700% more effective because the amount of time it takes in an apartment complex to go to like 190 people, it takes you, you probably get to like seven houses in the country or like nine, twelve houses in the country.
00:27:29.000Like a 14 to 1 ratio, that's a lot of time and gas money.
00:27:46.000I, I think, you know, more people should vote on election day.
00:27:48.000Like that's, that seems like a good thing to do, right?
00:27:50.000This, this crazy extension of mail-in voting that we saw in COVID.
00:27:54.000So, you know, and, and what, what's the left-wing wishlist is just automatic voter registration.
00:27:58.000Let's mail a ballot to everybody, you know, 16 year old voters.
00:28:01.000Sixteen-year-old voters, pretty soon they'll say, like, well, let's just presume that you voted the same way that you did last time, and that you have to opt out, you know?
00:28:07.000I mean, look for that to be on the discourse in the next five years.
00:28:10.000But as long as we have this mail-in voting regime, we need to use it.
00:28:16.000We can't just say, hey, let the Dems bank votes, and then we'll all show up on election day.
00:28:22.000Well, on election day, the printers might not work, right?
00:28:24.000And you can't leave yourself in this vulnerable position.
00:28:26.000I gotta ask you the tough question, tough question for me.
00:28:30.000When I hear that you did not get support from the Republican establishment, I can't say I'm surprised it's the establishment, but they're not giving you the support.
00:28:41.000Meanwhile, the Democrats are giving all of their support to Mark Kelly.
00:28:45.000That plays a role in your defeat, does it not?
00:29:33.000In my opinion, I think they actively are working against candidates like you and others.
00:29:37.000And then they think, I'm going to walk up as someone who's never been a traditional Republican and throw my weight behind establishment candidates for their... No, I'd rather... Look, Simply put, if Hakeem Jeffries wins as Speaker of the House because, you know, a lot of the Republicans in the House, the Freedom Caucus or otherwise, don't want to support the establishment, I don't care.
00:30:06.000And I understand where you're coming from.
00:30:08.000I'm not there, but... I do think he'd be worse, but I just kind of feel like unless there's a reckoning for the Republican establishment, and there's a clean... You know what?
00:30:16.000Let Hakeem Jeffries be Speaker if it means the current iteration of the GOP establishment disappears or is gutted, and then there's a backlash among the donors, and everybody says this was a huge mistake.
00:30:27.000Right now the problem is they're saying the mistake is to support you, the mistake was to support Carrie Lake, when it's actually the inverse.
00:30:34.000The mistake is to support people like McCarthy.
00:30:37.000And if we all do, it'll be the same garbage all over again, 2024 will come around, they'll flub everything.
00:30:43.000If Hakeem Jeffries does win, because a lot of people like me just say, I don't care about those people, maybe then the donor class, maybe then a lot more establishment Republicans might be like, okay, we were gutted and we don't exist as a reckoning for their failures.
00:31:00.000Look, I want the reckoning too, but it might not happen, right?
00:31:02.000Maybe Hakim becomes speaker and then the establishment and the GOP side doesn't fade away.
00:31:06.000And then you have the worst of all worlds, right?
00:31:09.000And so it's an age-old thing in politics.
00:31:12.000Or if you do that, don't you just get evil?
00:31:14.000But that's the situation, the lesser of two evils.
00:31:17.000That brought us into our current political landscape where we have a duopoly.
00:31:21.000We have one party, not two parties, that are essentially ruling together on a lot of the same issues that don't represent the people.
00:31:27.000The populist movement, the people that used to represent the people were people like Bernie Sanders, were people like Donald Trump, and they have forgone a lot of their policies that would have helped people.
00:31:37.000Donald Trump right now is endorsing McCarthy.
00:31:39.000I think that's absolutely crazy that he's doing so, especially with what happened with the elections recently.
00:31:47.000And for you, what would be the solution here?
00:31:49.000How can we move forward in a way that's more concise, in a way that's actually more reasonable, in a way that actually does represent and help solve some of the people's problems?
00:31:57.000I mean, I think my best answer is to just stay in the fight.
00:32:00.000You know, I don't know whether that means, you know, run for Senate again or run for Congress or figure out a different way to be involved.
00:32:05.000But I don't I don't have a one sentence answer.
00:32:09.000You know, a lot of people in Arizona after After the election was certified, said, well, we should have just run boring, safe Republicans instead of Blake and instead of Kerry.
00:32:16.000And it's like, well, I got to tell you, that wouldn't, that wouldn't work.
00:32:21.000But, but even if, even if they would have won, it's like boring and safe Republicans is, is sort of what's delivered us to this moment today.
00:32:28.000And the public is very disenchanted with that politics as usual, the uniparty, it doesn't work.
00:32:33.000And so we have to figure out a way forward.
00:32:34.000I think that way forward is this kind of somewhat populist America first, You know, policy platform, we just have to figure out a way to articulate it that is going to win us elections.
00:32:44.000We had Milo Yiannopoulos on the show just after the midterm, and he explained to us Trump supporters wanted revenge.
00:32:50.000The reason why they were upset, even though they did win, you know, winning the House, it's because they want revenge.
00:33:01.000I'm going to be completely honest with you as to how I feel right now.
00:33:04.000When Marjorie Taylor Greene put out that Twitter thread supporting Kevin McCarthy for Speaker, she made a lot of really, really excellent points that were very convincing to me.
00:33:12.000That Kevin McCarthy's made some promises.
00:33:14.000That there's going to be investigations.
00:33:16.000They're going to look into the southern border.
00:33:17.000They're going to look into the Twitter files.
00:33:20.000He actually came out in opposition to the omnibus.
00:33:22.000Things that are all really, really great.
00:33:24.000But while I can reconcile that logically in my mind, I think long term, I don't trust this man.
00:33:40.000That doesn't mean I'm willing to give in to illogical thought processes.
00:33:44.000I understand your point on, hey, Kevin McCarthy, he's offering us this stuff, it's better than Hakeem Jeffries.
00:33:50.000But part of me is just like, no, I think at the very least, There needs to be some kind of effort among whatever this faction is of more libertarian-minded individuals that they cannot play this game anymore.
00:34:13.000Man, since I got into politics, watching lie after lie, failure after failure, I certainly understand how Luke's feeling with like, just get rid of the government, just wash it all away.
00:34:21.000I'm at the point where it's like, well, you know, maybe Luke's right, but I'll take, let the establishment lose what little opportunity they had for some power, and then we can all laugh in Kevin McCarthy's face and the Republican establishment, and then we can laugh McConnell out of office and say, you know what, we may not have gotten the power we want, but we weren't going to get it anyway.
00:34:36.000Maybe this is just the reckoning they need, and then they need us.
00:34:41.000And I'll tell you, I feel really angry because I feel like they really need me.
00:34:44.000I am not a Republican, I don't like Republicans, but I ended up voting Republican in the past.
00:34:50.000I ended up supporting a lot of Republicans, not just voting, having shows, and then all they do is that I feel like they backstab people like you, they backstab people like Carrie Lake, the media lies about what they're doing, and I'm like, fine.
00:35:06.000If the Republicans would stand up to Democrats like they stand up against their fellow Republicans, the political landscape would be totally different and they would be at odds.
00:35:14.000But at the end of the day, that's not what's happening here.
00:35:30.000No, I want as little technology involved as voting as possible.
00:35:33.000I think it's crazy that we have, you know, tabulation machines where the code is closed source.
00:35:37.000Like, you can't actually tell what's going on, right?
00:35:39.000Like, if you have it, it should be open source, but maybe you don't even need it at all, right?
00:35:42.000Like, why not get back to precinct-level voting?
00:35:44.000The only technology that I really want is high-definition video cameras trained on manual hands, you know, reporting ballots and results at the precinct level.
00:35:53.000Upload that video online and let the internet have at it, right?
00:35:56.000Like, we want more transparency and less sort of closed-source technology.
00:35:59.000Are you concerned about, like, an open internet voting because it could get hacked?
00:36:04.000I just think you probably can't get there all at once, and the intermediate steps would be extremely insecure.
00:36:09.000Ian's for microchip voting, by the way.
00:36:15.000But I wanted to ask you, is it time for a new party?
00:36:18.000Because it does seem like the larger populist ideas, standing up for the American people, standing up for the American middle class, standing up against the people who committed the Jeffrey Epstein saga, There's a huge portion of those people on the left and right.
00:36:30.000There's also a huge portion of people that don't vote in the United States.
00:36:33.000Is it time to move away and have a political realignment here?
00:36:49.000We were never supposed to have this two-party system.
00:36:50.000It's like literally not the government that our framers ever set up or really envisioned.
00:36:54.000I guess they did envision it, they feared it, and they warned us about it.
00:36:58.000But I think the Republican Party and the Democratic Party are probably too established to to change it. And maybe it changes over time. And it
00:37:06.000definitely seems like there's a civil war within the Republican Party, with the old rhinos and the
00:37:11.000anti-establishment. But then there looks like there might be another civil war within just the anti-establishment
00:37:16.000alone with DeSantis versus Donald Trump, with Donald Trump attacking DeSantis recently.
00:37:20.000So it's like a civil war within a civil war. This doesn't look good and doesn't look promising,
00:37:25.000especially with the Republicans not having a lot of institutional power to change anything when
00:37:29.000it comes to ballot harvesting, when it comes to mail-in ballots.
00:37:32.000For me, personally, this is my assessment.
00:37:34.000I don't know if you think I'm too pessimistic or too black-pilled here, but I don't see the Republicans winning anytime soon in many years to come.
00:37:41.000I'd say the saving grace is the Democrats really are that bad, and they're going to... They're horrible!
00:37:46.000They're going to get worse, and so if we, I don't know, maybe we, you know, I think we can do it by 2024.
00:37:50.000We certainly have a lot of work to do.
00:37:51.000I still think the Republican Party is the right vehicle.
00:37:55.000If you care about peace, if you care about prosperity and individual freedom and all the things we care about, I do think the Republican Party is the vehicle to salvage.
00:38:06.000I don't think there's a way into political power, you know, at least right now or in the immediate future, unless you're going through the Democrats or the Republicans.
00:38:18.000I think the internet video is super powerful because right now if we ask people that subscribe to TimCast.com, for instance, to vote for you or to fund you in a campaign, you'd get massive worldwide publicity and money.
00:38:30.000I think that if I were to run for office and did a show where, to my audience, I said, vote for me, I would get substantially less votes than you think.
00:38:39.000Because a lot of people might like watching the show or might like me personally, but they're going to say, oh, come on, he's not going to win.
00:38:45.000And then what, you know, I'm, I'm, I'd rather vote for someone who's got a better chance.
00:38:48.000So I can, Ian, who, who dominates the online space, right?
00:38:51.000Who dominates you, Luke, who dominates, who dominates Facebook, right? Who, who, who
00:38:56.000dominates the people that own the FBI and who's the FBI backing right now at this
00:38:59.000particular time, the Democrats, the leftist and also the establishment candidates. So whoever
00:39:05.000plays ball in Washington, DC gets an unfair advantage on big tech, social media. That's a
00:39:10.000reckoning that we can't underestimate because it has a huge effect on what America thinks, not
00:39:14.000just on how they vote. So until there's a larger reckoning here, I mean, Twitter is one
00:39:18.000social media that Elon Musk is putting everything behind, risking everything, essentially exposing
00:39:23.000the deep state for all the horrible things that they've been doing. But that's one element of
00:39:27.000it. Will we have even congressional hearings that lead up to anything because of this? Well, I
00:39:32.000hope so, but I kind of doubt We have a story from Daily Mail.
00:40:03.000Have you personally witnessed anything like this or what are your thoughts?
00:40:07.000We have personally witnessed Google coming down and being unfair, right?
00:40:11.000So when we were trying to build this small-dollar fundraising email operation, we would find a disproportionate amount of our fundraising emails would get sent to spam in Gmail.
00:40:19.000Well, it's like, that doesn't happen to the Democrats, right?
00:40:22.000We've seen the data on this with many different conservative candidates.
00:40:27.000It's, uh, it's just banal at this point to say that big tech has its thumb on the scale.
00:40:31.000Like, yeah, big tech hates conservatives, and we know that.
00:40:33.000What really got me was, uh, you know, the media.
00:40:36.000And Carrie and I were running against the media, of course, and they called me an election denier for just talking about how You know, the Hunter Biden censorship, like I think that did more than almost anything else to put Joe Biden in the White House.
00:40:49.000Oh, well, Blake's denying the 2020 election.
00:40:51.000And then for Elon to go by Twitter and now subsequent to this 2022 election, of course, but into the Twitter files.
00:40:56.000And now it's like the sordid details are out there.
00:40:58.000It is just demonstrable fact that people at Twitter were censoring this information with the sole goal of helping Joe Biden win office.
00:41:07.000This is just not a conspiracy theory anymore.
00:41:20.000Elizabeth Warren is going after Elon, right? Deep State.
00:41:23.000This article by the Daily Mail is worth reading because what you see is agent after agent after
00:41:30.000agent after agent after agent and you see them named and you see them in so many positions of
00:41:35.000power but those are the ones that we know about.
00:41:37.000What about the ones that are undercover?
00:41:39.000What about the ones that we don't know about?
00:41:41.000What about the ones that are compromised at high-level positions of power?
00:41:44.000So there's multiple layers to this, not just overt agents and spies working inside of these big tech social media companies.
00:41:50.000There's a different layer to this that, again, not only shapes Their companies, but shapes the minds of America, and I could make the argument here throughout the last few years.
00:41:59.000Overall, social media has been a net negative for the American people.
00:42:06.000It has led to the destruction of the family unit.
00:42:08.000It is leading towards what I believe is the Great Reset, which is essentially just this kind of larger ideas, this larger agenda that is absolutely screwing you over and only empowering the government So, they're using it, it's a psy-op, it's a psychological operation, and you are the target, and you are the victim.
00:42:27.000If you could say social media is a net negative, and 50 out of 100 was neutral, anything below that becomes negative, how negative do you see it?
00:43:05.000And then channels like this start to pour through.
00:43:08.000Other creators, people like Steven Crowder, start to pour through.
00:43:10.000They can't control every person who posts, though they try, so there is a net positive, in my opinion.
00:43:16.000It is better than it was before, but overall, when we look at the larger effects, and again, my estimate, again, to answer your question, 12 to about 25 percent.
00:43:24.000Overall, when we look at how people are affected, especially how children are affected by this, when you see the mental health negative effects, when you see women harming themselves because it's trendy, when you see Just the level of less interactions that people are having, the overall effect, not just politically, but socially, financially, economically, I think the overall negative, it's a negative effect to be honest with you.
00:43:48.000Politically, there are more voices that people are able to hear, but they're squashing on those independent voices and making sure that they reach less and less people.
00:43:57.000Well, I think this will be reversed, everything you're saying, as soon as Blake becomes CEO of Twitter, then we're going to see such a massive net positive that the world becomes an instant better place.
00:44:05.000That's funny, although I was just going to say this is dynamic, too.
00:44:07.000Wherever you thought it was 75, 25, 50, 50, right now it's dynamic.
00:44:10.000And I suspect in 20 or 30 years we'll know.
00:44:13.000Will this internet and social media experience be net, you know, liberatory?
00:44:17.000Will more people be free and happy because of it?
00:44:19.000Or will we be living in something like a techno dystopia surveillance state?
00:44:24.000Look at what's happened to the children.
00:44:32.000Look at the use of online adult content by children.
00:44:35.000Look at those effects that will be with children rewiring their brains right now as we're speaking to have instant gratification, to have their trophies, to have Just glamorizing them living for the world, living for the likes, rather than living for their communities, living for their families, living for a future.
00:44:55.000They rather have this kind of, you know, selfie image of themselves, glorifying themselves, rather than having an importance on anything else around them.
00:45:42.000When Elon talks about how Neuralink could cure people who have like paralysis or whatever, what people don't seem to understand is that all systems are exploitable, and this could mean as well that they could do bad things to you.
00:45:56.000It's not just about the things it could fix, it's about the things that it could hurt.
00:45:59.000They could make you feel, like depending on the sophistication of a Neuralink chip in your brain, if it can cure depression, it could make you depressed.
00:46:06.000So you think about how bad it could get, It gets scary bad.
00:46:10.000Yeah, I mean, look at the number of children having, you know, a gender dysphoria.
00:46:22.000And it could do really horrifying things where they put you in a prison camp, tell you to execute the innocent children, and then you're like, I can't do it.
00:46:29.000Then they click a button on their iPad, you go, ooh, this feels You know, I think like social media is not bad or good, but it's powerful.
00:46:35.000If it's used for evil, that's powerful evil.
00:46:37.000And the Neuralink's like an acceleration of that neutrality.
00:46:41.000Ian, you shouldn't be chasing what feels good.
00:46:43.000You should be chasing, you know, hard work, dedication, building something, growing something, sacrificing something in order to have something outside of yourself.
00:46:53.000A lot of problems with our society comes down to, I need instant gratification, I need instant likes, I need instant attention right now.
00:47:00.000That's the root to a lot of our problems.
00:47:02.000But like, some people are in physical pain.
00:47:03.000And that's the psychological trick that they play on us in order to have us engaged in these kind of larger black mirror devices.
00:47:10.000I gotta give a shout out to Andrew Tate.
00:47:30.000He comes off so aggressive and like, um, like I guess hubristic.
00:47:35.000He even says that about himself, but he was just doing an interview where he was like, dude, I've been a pawn on the game for so many years.
00:47:49.000Now he's in a position where he can be himself and he is the king of his environment.
00:47:54.000Just to bring it back to the conversation we were having, his point is that your happiness doesn't matter, you have responsibilities.
00:48:00.000And so with the internet, Instant gratification with things like Neuralink that can make you feel better.
00:48:05.000These are shortcuts that ultimately, in my opinion, will actually lead to you being miserable.
00:48:09.000And so if you think about where Neuralink gets you, you've got right now like the body, the fat acceptance movement, the body positivity stuff.
00:48:17.000These are people who are more likely to experience cancer and other health impacts due to their weight being told to accept it and be happy with who they are, but it's causing them damage in the long term.
00:48:30.000You put a Neuralink chip in someone's brain and then they're unhappy about something?
00:48:34.000So you click the button and then all of a sudden they're happy?
00:48:36.000They're not going to solve their problem.
00:51:31.000Have people... I mean, when we had Periscope on YouTube, this was... I'm sorry, Periscope on Twitter.
00:51:36.000This was a way that engaged so many different people, and then Twitter took it down because people were dominating it that they didn't like the political ideas!
00:51:44.000So, these are just some ideas that I have off the top of my head that I think Elon should listen to.
00:51:56.000One problem with videos is the cost of the servers, at least is what I'm told, and it is a big deal.
00:52:01.000So we tried to decentralize it at Mines, like BitChute, but it was so slow and grainy trying to pull it from all these other people.
00:52:09.000I don't know much about decentralizing video feeds.
00:52:12.000Not technically, although it's probably going to only get better and better, right?
00:52:15.000And I would look to add things that people want to pay for, right?
00:52:18.000Like Twitter needs, it's woefully dependent on advertising.
00:52:21.000I'm not saying advertising goes away, but it needs to certainly have new revenue streams where creators are getting paid for their content.
00:52:29.000I'm paying $8 a month for Twitter Blue.
00:53:47.000And they'll pay a lot of money to say nasty things to me, and I will take their money.
00:53:51.000So a hundred bucks, I will set my paid DMs at a hundred dollars, and then all the people who hate me can say all the nasty things in the world, and I will monetize that.
00:54:09.000So, if he made paid direct messaging, I would say, okay, you want to direct message me, and I don't follow you, a hundred bucks, you know, and then you can send me whatever nasty garbage you want, and you've got to pay me to do it.
00:55:02.000Elizabeth Warren could come up with some justification for why yours is different, but like the justification is she hates you and wants you crashed.
00:55:08.000Yeah, if all it does is get you publicity on the network that it's sold on, um, and then maybe used for fun cosmetic stuff on the network, I just don't see any security involved in that.
00:55:22.000Yeah, if you want to be on the other side of the FEC enforcement action.
00:55:26.000Because I think that could take the company very profitable, or at least very, very, very profitable.
00:55:31.000I mean, obviously what would happen is the Twitter token would become super valuable and it would become traded on Binance and stuff, and then they might say, hey.
00:56:06.000Not by default, but I'm not not a doomer either.
00:56:08.000You know I really think it's contention it matters what we do and And why wouldn't it like human agency is really important if you're up if you're too optimistic and like all things will just work out well You're probably not gonna work as hard and making that happen, and then if you're just fatalistic.
00:56:21.000It sucks Oh, I just lost my election that sucks everything's doomed.
00:56:24.000No somehow that doesn't feel quite right either.
00:56:26.000It's like I It's scary, but we've got to work hard.
00:56:28.000Your mindset and positivity does matter when it comes to your overall productivity and what you're able to do in life, but at the same time, you've got to be realistic with all the problems.
00:56:37.000You've got to have a balance between the two and have a certain level of basis in reality, but also some optimism on top of that.
00:56:45.000You know what gave me a lot of optimism was the judge granting Carey Lake's trial.
00:56:51.000I mean, because everything we've seen in the past has been dismissed, dismissed, dismissed.
00:56:54.000These judges have been weak and just, I don't want to deal with it.
00:56:57.000I'm not saying this judge is going to do the right thing in terms of, well, I'm not going to say the judge is going to give us what we want, but the fact the trial happened at all, I think was a major step forward in terms of confidence.
00:57:10.000I think the night is always darkest before the dawn.
00:57:11.000I think what we're seeing with James Lindsay, you know, the things he's calling out and exposing with continued success, his growing prominence, calling out the grimmer phenomenon.
00:57:22.000And I think Elon Musk buying Twitter, it's kind of like it's never been better, to be completely honest.
00:58:09.000I think with conservatives starting to recognize the power of ballot harvesting and ballot chasing, I think 2024 is going to be a game changer.
00:58:17.000It's like you were saying, it's about raw numbers.
00:58:45.000And it's like, well, I appreciate the individuality in our party, and we have a lot more diversity in our party, actually, in terms of diversity of thought.
00:58:51.000But the Democrats will vote for Fetterman or anything, or Rock, because it's got a D next to its name, and that's a challenge that we have to overcome.
00:58:59.000But I think the Republicans just need to target those people.
00:59:01.000These people who are low-information voters voting Democrat aren't voting Democrat for any good reason, which means Republicans could win those votes.
00:59:11.000What do you think about refocusing a message?
00:59:13.000We've talked about this before, too, like graphene or some sort of industrialization message of making the United States an industrial superpower.
01:00:27.00080% of our power should be generated from nukes.
01:00:31.000At least if the path we're going, we'll probably have new technology like vacuum vibrational things and fusion power, which is a, they call it nuclear.
01:00:38.000It's a completely different technology than fission.
01:00:40.000So there, you can't really call them both nuclear.
01:00:44.000As the broader point, it's like we should be agnostic about what it is, but like what it isn't is, you know, some dumb subsidy for some wind thing that is not even going to work.
01:00:51.000I think what's happening, you remember in Texas two years ago, or was it last year, the deep freeze that ruined all these wind power, these windmills, or whatever they're called, wind generators, and we're headed in a few days for another deep freeze in Texas, I'm told.
01:01:19.000I think I think Americans would be here for whether it's a new party, if you could somehow bootstrap that into existence or a Republican Party that was like, hey, we're the party of competence.
01:01:36.000I think it's like, we need charisma, too.
01:01:38.000Like, I used to think, I was telling you earlier, like, I was like, or I didn't actually mention, you were saying you were a Republican, we were younger.
01:01:42.000I was like a Democrat when I was younger.
01:02:25.000The Libertarian Party does a great job of getting a lot of people of principle to vote for the Libertarian Party, but they don't move the needle.
01:02:32.000What do you think, did you just do it enough?
01:02:35.000Look, look, the MAGA party is not the same as the Republicans, and that's why there's a Republican Civil War, at least what the media calls it.
01:02:40.000The reason why I think the establishment didn't support you is because you're, you know, Blake, you're more libertarian, you're outside the Republican Party in a literal, in an intangible sense.
01:02:53.000Like, quite literally, you're a Republican, but as far as the establishment Republicans are concerned, the MAGA Republicans are a different party and they're an insurgent group coming in.
01:03:02.000And we're going to get an interesting, I guess, case study here.
01:03:05.000Kirsten Sinema, right, the other Democrat senator from Arizona, just announced, I think a week or two ago, she's going to be an independent.
01:04:45.000I instantly like cinema more than Mansion.
01:04:48.000Because she because she comes out as an independent and Manchin is still playing this ridiculous game of being a Democrat in literal MAGA country.
01:04:56.000I feel like he's now he's underwater, right?
01:04:58.000I think he's going to is he just going to switch?
01:05:00.000I think he's going to switch to being a Republican.
01:05:01.000He was asked and he said, you know, something like, we'll wait till later to talk about it or something like that, which made everyone immediately be like, OK, he's Manchin's going to switch.
01:05:10.000This is I think West Virginia is like 86 percent Trump supporting.
01:06:18.000You know, don't come a-knockin' if you don't want to see what's on the other side.
01:06:20.000Do you think, Blake, do you think the solution to I don't know, what is your end goal, really, with the United States, or in your lifetime?
01:06:28.000How would you like to see the United States develop?
01:06:32.000I think one litmus test for, are we on the right track?
01:06:36.000Like, I think politics should be boring.
01:06:38.000It shouldn't be what people are investing all their time and emotional energy into.
01:06:41.000I would like a campaign on the slogan.
01:06:43.000To me, it's more than a slogan, but it is, I think, a good political slogan.
01:06:46.000In America, you should be able to raise a family on one single income.
01:06:49.000I think if we got back to an economy where you can actually do that, maybe it's really hard in a globalizing world, but man, if you could just, if young people had economic opportunity and were, you know, on that choosing to get married and have kids in their 20s and were able to buy and afford homes and people didn't have to be obsessed with politics, right?
01:07:05.000We weren't at each other's throats all the time.
01:07:20.000You said earlier, it's a worldwide movement.
01:07:23.000I think you mentioned that earlier, but I've sensed worldwide that humans want freedom.
01:07:27.000The First Amendment of the United States Constitution is one of the most...
01:07:30.000Inspirational governmental actions ever taken on earth, and I feel like we have so many people from Australia that watch the show and England and all these great countries that Unfortunately get can get arrested for standing outside of someone's house And I hope that maybe that there I kind of see like a United States of Earth where we have like state rights still But we just are have like a form of kind of a sort of unified government.
01:07:53.000I don't know if that's too pious globalist In a way.
01:07:57.000I mean, I like, I think inevitably we're globalizing.
01:08:00.000I want it to be done so that we maintain our bill of rights.
01:08:02.000Like a republic, where the United States has sovereign borders, where we control our own government, but there is some kind of legislative system externally that can't interfere internally with the nation, but can help prevent wars.
01:08:14.000Yeah, and even Ohio still has its sovereign borders, and every state still has its own rights, like Alberta, for instance.
01:08:19.000I think there's an Alberta secession movement right now.
01:08:21.000Alberta becomes a state of the United States of Earth, and then We just keep growing from there.
01:08:27.000And then everyone lives under the Constitution?
01:08:29.000Yeah, but the Constitution's malleable, but yes.
01:08:31.000Yeah, I think the Bill of Rights for sure.
01:08:34.000Maybe in order to get to that point, you know, some people will have to be made to understand.
01:08:39.000So perhaps we could, like, put together a group of people with perhaps weapons that could go in and tell these people they now live under our way of life.
01:08:47.000And we would call it, like, a liberation.
01:08:50.000We would send out liberation forces to other...
01:08:59.000And let's just have a layer on top that will help it.
01:09:02.000And it's like, well, the danger is that, you know, that layer becomes incredibly bureaucratic and powerful and it gets more power for itself.
01:09:08.000And pretty soon, I think this is where the century is trending, if we don't resist it, you get a one world totalitarian government.
01:09:15.000I like the idea of like China wants to build its version and China wants everyone to be Chinese in a hundred years.
01:09:19.000And we actually, nope, we've never figured out a way to do that in a safe way.
01:09:24.000And I think we should look towards decentralization.
01:09:27.000Decentralization is the key word here that a lot of people need to focus on more than ever, as there are a lot of American Western elites financing China, setting up policies in the United States that allow China to take over the world.
01:09:38.000That allow China to gobble up all the resources that ... allow them to pollute as much as they can and then ... everyone else is supposed to be under these climate ... regulations these these these echo you know fascist kind of ... policies that limit people's ability to have energy that's ... absolutely it's absolutely crazy what's happening in this ... ever-globalizing world but but how is it going to change I ... don't know that's that's just a very hard question to ask ... but I also wanted to kind of talk about Peter Thiel a ...
01:10:29.000I think Peter, like me, started very libertarian and, you know, to the extent we play in electoral politics, it's Republican, conservative.
01:10:37.000But I think, you know, you can't really reduce him to labels like that.
01:11:03.000Because if there's two seconds of video where you say something wrong, maybe you're exploring an idea, right?
01:11:08.000But if that's wrong, and if it's cuttable and pasteable into an attack ad that Mark Kelly and the Democrat machine puts $30 million behind, well, that's a problem for you.
01:11:17.000But if you're never allowed to be wrong, then you're never allowed to think, which is why so many politicians feel like wind-up dolls, right?
01:11:22.000Robots that just say the thing that the consultants wrote, and that's safe.
01:11:26.000And then, like, what kind of politics does that produce?
01:11:27.000The kind of politics we've had, and it fails people.
01:11:30.000Outside of the tremendous amount of money he made for the social ramifications, do you think Peter Thiel has concerns about funding Facebook or regrets?
01:12:43.000Facebook started getting really, really, really bad.
01:12:45.000It was the beginning of the algorithmic newsfeed when people started having too many friends and liking too many pages.
01:12:52.000And so the feed was just moving too quickly.
01:12:54.000I could be wrong, but my understanding is Facebook decided to implement an algorithm where it would feed you more of what they thought you would like to see to keep you on the platform for longer.
01:13:04.000Then you see the transformation of the BuzzFeeds, the Huffington Posts.
01:13:08.000They started adhering and molding themselves to the algorithm.
01:13:12.000And the best example of this is Mike.com, which when it started was pro-Ron Paul, but quickly realized the algorithm favored wokeness.
01:13:22.000And it's a really, really simple mathematical equation, right?
01:13:26.000In the beginning of the internet, or I hadn't said the beginning, but in the late 2000s, early 2010s, the Ron Paul revolution was in full swing.
01:13:32.000It was a meme, it was viral, people believed in it.
01:13:35.000The algorithm starts becoming more prominent.
01:13:37.000And what happens is rage-inducing content gets more clicks and gets more shares.
01:14:02.000All of a sudden you start seeing articles from like Vice where it's like, you know, Gay people, gay trans people of color are the strongest
01:14:11.000argument in favor of Black Lives Matter to cram all of those words into one article
01:14:57.000And then he said it was like a wealth distribution thing, like intentionally they... Well, I think the point of the conversation was maybe that was the exit for, you know, intelligence or other Nefarious entities that wanted to get their money out of the machine somehow.
01:15:40.000Just managing the family office, you know, always trying to find the next thing to invest in.
01:15:45.000So his investment company, Thiel Management?
01:15:48.000And the cool thing about Peter is, while he's, I think, the world's best venture capitalist, or certainly top three, but I think he's the best.
01:15:54.000He's always, you know, it's like, One minute you're talking about what to invest in, the next minute you're talking about China, and what's going to happen in 30 years, and then peak oil, and what's the deal with that?
01:16:04.000And then he's just he's really intellectually omnivorous.
01:16:08.000Is he a peak oil believer? I Have to ask him.
01:16:12.000I think he would have said yes 10 years ago and now not so much.
01:16:15.000It's a very contentious idea that I believe I don't actually believe in.
01:16:19.000But would you say his principles are more aligned with making money or sharing kind of his larger libertarian, more right wing ideas?
01:16:27.000Because when you have so much power and influence, you're either motivated by let's make all this money or let's promote these principles.
01:16:33.000He did have, I think, backing of Ron Paul, and then went and supported Donald Trump in the last election.
01:16:40.000So I was just wondering from your perspective, and if it's too personal, you don't have to ask.
01:16:44.000I mean, I don't want to speak for him.
01:16:45.000He'd probably come up with some cut why those were, like, actually, you know, not mutually exclusive, and why they actually compound if you pursue both goals at the same time or something like that.
01:16:56.000That's a theory that the oil is going to be running out, there's not going to be enough oil, and therefore we need to get off oil immediately.
01:17:05.000I think it's true, I just think the question is, how much oil?
01:17:10.000Obviously there's a finite amount, there's a finite earth.
01:17:12.000So the question is, is there so little oil that we might run out?
01:17:17.000Or is it that it is finite, but there's so much human could never begin to consume all of it?
01:17:22.000Yeah, I don't believe it to be true, because a lot of the science is also backed by a lot of the people who are saying, you know, the world's going to end in a few years because of the climate.
01:17:30.000So we see a lot of the same rhetoric for the same people.
01:17:34.000It's a decade, it's always a new problem.
01:18:42.000But I was gonna say, like, the earthquake in San Andreas, the San Andreas Fault's gonna go because, insert human activity here, it's all the humans doing jump rope, jumping up and down, shaking the ground, it's gonna, you know, we gotta stop, no more exercise, stop exercising.
01:18:57.000A real one is we might get hit by meteors if we just sit around on our hands for the next 300 years.
01:19:55.000They're giving away, they're gutting this... First of all, I'm gonna just come out and say it, I know guys, I went to the White House, I didn't wear a suit either.
01:20:03.000I'm not concerned that a dude showed up not wearing a suit.
01:20:05.000I know a lot of people are talking about the decorum of the White House.
01:20:08.000I'm like, bro, I'm less concerned about that and more concerned that they unfurl the Ukrainian flag and then say, Mitch McConnell's like, the top priority for America is to support Ukraine.
01:20:18.000At least that's what Republicans think.
01:20:19.000It's like, no, that's what you think, dude.
01:20:21.000Regular people are kind of like, why is gas expensive?
01:20:24.000When I saw Biden put his hands on Zelensky, I was like, oh, I pictured him thinking and said, hello, presidential puppet.
01:20:41.000I will tell you as a candidate for federal office, if you oppose giving unlimited amounts of money to Ukraine, they will call you a Putin puppet.
01:20:53.000It's like we should look for ways to get those two countries to the negotiating table and we all want a ceasefire, right?
01:20:59.000But remember when Rand Paul just stuck his neck out and said, hi, I can't block this, you know, I forget it was $40 billion at the time, but if we're going to send it, can we at least get an inspector general assigned to it?
01:21:09.000Can we get a spreadsheet so we know if this money is just being wasted or if it's just being stolen or what?
01:21:14.000Did you hear Zelensky's wife went on like a shopping spree or something?
01:21:28.000When Russia, assuming, if Russia ends up winning for whatever reason, and then all those weapons are sitting there among pro-Russian factions, and they get armed and then start fighting against us, I wouldn't be surprised.
01:21:39.000There's also intelligence reports detailing how there's already a very boosterous black market already in Europe right now with
01:21:46.000many of the advanced US weapons being sold to of course criminal gangs,
01:21:50.000probably jihadists that now have surface-to-air missiles that could take down
01:21:54.000airliners and airplanes. So you know when we're just sending weapons down there
01:21:59.000without any transparency or accountability that that's a recipe for
01:22:04.000This is the same administration and government that says it's too dangerous for you to have a handgun with so many rounds in it, but they're sending surface-to-air missiles on the black market to Europe right now, which is absolutely mind-boggling.
01:23:01.000If Ukraine is simply not allowed to join NATO, and that's a line in the sand, but they can join the EU, let the Donbass have a plebiscite, they can figure out who's going to rule the Donbass.
01:23:50.000Flirting with pouring more gas on the fire by sending this money in this unaccountable way.
01:23:54.000It's a real problem I don't want to be cavalier about it, but I fear that if you just put oxygen on it Are we actually?
01:24:00.000Threatening to make the problem worse and no one has been able to give me a satisfactory explanation for know why this is super Okay, and this is this is de-risking it.
01:24:06.000I just think we might be adding risk to the system.
01:24:08.000It's really complex No, we're escalating it.
01:24:11.000Every time we arm them, every time we do that, we stop the possibility of any kind of peace deal moving forward.
01:24:16.000And there's a big possibility of a limited nuclear war there.
01:24:19.000I think also this conflict allows China to be stronger.
01:24:23.000It allows them to have more influence.
01:24:25.000Especially with the actions that are happening because of this war affecting the poorest people in the world, China's kind of stepping in while there's a big crisis that's built in there.
01:24:36.000And I kind of wanted to ask you, do you see China or Russia as the bigger threat to the United States?
01:24:41.000Because they're also working on crazy projects with Bill Gates with mini nuclear reactors.
01:24:46.000They're working on a lot of, you know, technology that we're not working on here.
01:24:50.000They have a lot of money, especially from Western elites.
01:24:53.000I see them as kind of a bigger threat myself.
01:24:58.000It's like Russia under Putin, I think he's bad, you know, whatever.
01:25:01.000But no, they're incommensurate, right?
01:25:04.000And one of the risks, by the way, of just punishing Russia with so many sanctions, you throw the kitchen sink at them, the West risks pushing Russia into the arms of China, right?
01:25:36.000You can't conflate all of China with the CCP, but actually you kinda can, as long as the CCP's in power, because that's how totalitarianism works.
01:25:42.000It's important, I think it's important to differentiate between the Chinese people, because they're under that regime as well.
01:25:49.000I look at, like, eastern Ukraine, I think you mentioned the Donbass region, there's two freeways that go down into Crimea, and I wonder if there's a ceasefire, and we end up, there ends up being, like, what two freeways are this?
01:26:24.000And as long as the United States is funding that message, I don't see it happening.
01:26:30.000I think we really need an American push for a ceasefire.
01:26:33.000But to blockade Russia from the Black Sea makes no sense!
01:26:36.000Like, when the Soviet Union fell apart, they gave Ukraine all that land basically to neuter Russia to make sure it didn't become another global hegemon.
01:26:43.000But at this point, it's like, yo, it is a global hegemon.
01:26:46.000It's one of the third most powerful countries in the world.
01:26:48.000Next to the United States and China, probably.
01:26:50.000Um, and I think, I don't know, you make peaceful solutions.
01:26:54.000That's me from the outside looking in.
01:26:56.000What did you just solve out over there?
01:28:39.000There was strategic papers out there showing specifically, you overthrow the government of Iraq, You're going to have Sunni Wahhabists take over the area.
01:28:47.000You're going to have massive sectarian violence.
01:28:49.000You're going to have Iran's sphere of influence be expanded and growing in the region, which is not for the American strategy, which is to align themselves with Saudi Arabia and the Sunnis.
01:28:59.000So this was a recipe for disaster, and they knew this.
01:29:39.000Shout out to the 36-year-olds out there.
01:29:41.000But I'm bringing this up because I'm curious of, you know, back during the loose change era, the Ron Paul revolution, were you following that stuff?
01:30:28.000They cheated him in so many different ways, especially when it came to the polls, especially when it came to the corporate media coverage of him.
01:30:37.000As John McCain was literally singing songs about bombing Iran.
01:30:41.000And also, we have to understand, what happened with Barack Obama was a direct result because of the mistakes, not mistakes, but because of the destruction of the United States caused by George W. Bush.
01:30:50.000George W. Bush was put in a position of power.
01:30:58.000And because of that, we had a cultural pushback, just like we did during Vietnam and the JFK assassination, where, of course, we had the leftist become more prominent, mainly because, in my opinion, according to Bush, overreaching, doing too much and becoming a totalitarian leader, which he was.
01:31:13.000I thought Obama was an example of like hoping that we can put an innocent charismatic guy in power and hoping that he'll save us like a superhero and like he gets in and gets co-opted like everyone else in that position when in reality we need a ground-up movement and he promised like I'll be there for you and I think had we done a ground-up attempt at some sort of economic revolution that he wouldn't
01:31:35.000have said no, he would have sat by and let it happen.
01:31:38.000He was looking to do it, but he couldn't do it from the office.
01:32:26.000And go back to an Obama speech from 08 or 09.
01:32:29.000He sounds like a right-winger on immigration.
01:32:31.000He says, well, obviously a country has borders, and if you just let anyone in, you don't know who's coming in, then you can't have a country, you know?
01:32:41.000I'm not sure if he believed it, but he knew the politics of the time were such that he had to say that.
01:32:45.000I would love to get just to talk to Barack in a room with no satellite phones beaming in and listening and hear like, you know, how co-opted did you get, dude?
01:32:54.000I know that Michelle was trying to do the Let's Move campaign.
01:33:30.000If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends.
01:33:36.000My friends, this is the last show of 2022 because tomorrow everyone's going to be traveling so they can be with their families on Christmas Eve.
01:33:46.000And we were like, well, Saturday's Christmas Eve, we don't want to make people travel on Christmas Eve, so we're gonna let people travel for those that need to travel the Friday, so we're basically gonna wrap up.
01:33:54.000And then the next week, we had a couple of people interested in coming on, and then we got cancellations, and I was like, I don't think we can fill a full week, to be completely honest.
01:34:01.000Plus, nobody likes working after Christmas.
01:34:04.000Not to mention, Monday is a travel day after Christmas, so I was just like, let's just take the week and stop trying to swim uphill.
01:35:23.000My folks told me they'd never again voting Democrat just because they're furious about porous border, billions to Ukraine and our government not caring about its own citizens.
01:35:31.000Look, the positive, positive things are happening.
01:35:36.000Jorge Ventura is down there just doing God's work and the amount of videos and transparency he's providing for people to see these people being trafficked across the river day after day after day after day for years.
01:36:25.000Andrew Brews says, tried sending a meme of Joe Biden walking with Zelensky with a photoshopped Hunter Biden in the background to my mate on Facebook Messenger, and I got hit with a violation and got logged out of Facebook.
01:36:37.000Well, I mean, why were you making fun of Joe Biden?
01:36:39.000You know, have you thought about how maybe you deserve it?
01:36:42.000Can you believe this guy trying to make fun of Biden like that?
01:38:41.000Okay, so having witnesses provide circumstantial evidence is not definitive proof.
01:38:44.000And the example I give to people is, you come home from work, your chocolate cake is destroyed, it's on the kitchen floor, and there's paw prints in it.
01:39:24.000So in this instance, what we have is Evidence was presented to the court, sworn testimony, affidavits, all of that stuff.
01:39:31.000More than enough, in my opinion, that the court, the judge should, the first thing the judge should have said is, okay, defense, can you produce a chain of custody documents that they say don't exist?
01:39:43.000But, okay, at the very least, the evidence presented should result in a hard investigation from an independent process where they go in to make a hard determination on the facts so they can say, we have evidence, we followed the evidence, here's what we found.
01:39:58.000I'm worried the judge is gonna be like, meh.
01:41:36.000Like, you ended up with a whole wave of libertarians and anarchists being like, abolish the police.
01:41:40.000So what works is being on the side of peace, being on the side of charisma, influence, and you gotta win some elections and change some rules and change some laws.
01:42:28.000And at this point, I know you may not feel that way, but I'm like... I understand that most people do.
01:42:34.000But I mean, looking at how they abandoned you, and at worst, may have actively worked against you, I'm like, dude, these people do not deserve my support.
01:42:50.000I could be a hothead sometimes, so... But a lot of people... I don't agree with the revenge narrative, and I'd like to talk to Mile about that next time I see him, because I feel like that's French Revolution territory, where they were executing people by beheading for, you know, just... I'm not talking about that.
01:43:03.000Well, that's what happens if you... I'm talking about firing a guy.
01:43:08.000Holding people up to accountability is one thing, but trying to harm them physically... You could say that firing someone is a form of harm, but I'm not talking about that kind of harm.
01:44:48.000Like a community of 100 people or 1000 people?
01:44:51.000A lot of it depends on culture, but for me personally, none.
01:45:00.000Well, I mean, just like how small communities will, like, police themselves.
01:45:03.000They'll be like, alright, Luke, you're the one that has the best accuracy, so you're the sheriff.
01:45:07.000And then, like, then it scales up to a thousand people, and we're like, well, now we need, like, nine police to take care of this, or thirteen police.
01:45:13.000And, like, how do you keep it decentralized as the communities grow?
01:45:23.000But like, as communities grow, I feel like the militia grows, and like, then when it's no longer centralized, because the militia's headquarters is three miles away.
01:45:30.000You gotta think about it in terms of, in the early days of this country, when there was a more common morality.
01:45:34.000I'm not saying it was all good, obviously there were bad things, but if everyone in the neighborhood took action to protect their community, you wouldn't need police to a certain degree, because if someone started doing something illegal, everyone would turn and be like, we have to stop them.
01:45:48.000Nowadays, most people are like, leave me out of it.
01:45:51.000So then someone has to be appointed to stop them.
01:45:53.000And even the cops are going, leave me out of it.
01:45:55.000And they're watching violent crimes happening and be like, I don't want to get involved.
01:46:47.000I think we should have less cops and more guns.
01:46:51.000I agree with the more guns, maybe the number of cops is fine.
01:46:53.000I actually think we do have a disorder problem on the street, and we need more police officers, and we just need to have less tolerance for violence.
01:46:58.000But with more police officers, they're going to only be enforcing what the Attorney General in that particular district wants them to enforce, and that's usually the wills of George Soros, going after people in your political party.
01:47:14.000It's illegal for someone to have a gun.
01:47:16.000If you are a law-abiding citizen, in all circumstances, and they find out that you, as a father of three, terrified for your neighborhood and your family, illicitly acquire a weapon, they're coming after you.
01:47:28.000If you are a gang leader surrounded by a bunch of guys strapped with a whole bunch of, I mean, modified Glocks for fallout or whatever, they're gonna stay away from you.
01:48:21.000I don't want to go to jail, and I'm not going to break the law.
01:48:23.000So when these guys walk up to you with weapons and knives and guns or whatever, they know you don't have one.
01:48:28.000I would much rather live in a society where they see me walking down the street and they can't tell what that thing is near my waist under my jacket.
01:48:36.000So they go, nah, not that guy, not that guy.
01:48:38.000Because it could be the end of your life or it could be permanent injury.
01:48:42.000But the problem with places like Chicago is they're like, dude's probably carrying a phone.
01:49:19.000I made this point before that if you go back in time to when there was a more unified cultural morality, you're driving down the street in a small town.
01:49:29.000Sheriff's deputy gets out of the car and he goes, Blake, I told you last time not to speed.
01:49:36.000Now I gotta see your dad down at the pub tonight, what am I gonna tell him?
01:49:39.000When the community was closer with each other, when they saw each other at church, when they knew their neighbors, or he'd pull you over and beg license and registration, you hand him and you go, Masters!
01:49:51.000You know, I see your dad on the weekend sometimes down at the range or whatever, and I'm going to have to tell him I pulled you over and you're going to be like, oh, geez, much more personal.
01:50:27.000If we were in a smaller community and this guy knew there were repercussions for lying and giving me a false ticket, and my dad was going to show up at church and be like, what are you doing?
01:50:37.000They think twice about brutality or doing wrong.
01:50:40.000More importantly, even the criminals who come in think twice because they know they'll get ostracized.
01:50:45.000But we've become this big detached blob where no one knows each other and no one cares.
01:50:49.000So I guess my point is, you're right, you know, cops can be very, very good so long as they feel that there is something at risk if they go against the community.
01:50:59.000Selective enforcement arises out of the fact that cops are like, don't know you, don't care, I'll never see you again.
01:51:33.000Yeah, I've been thinking a lot about it.
01:51:35.000It was a claim I made where I was like, if you don't believe in God, you're not Jewish.
01:51:37.000And it's like, well, I think what happens is, because it's like there's the cultural Jews and there's the religious Jews, and there's even a conflation within Judaism that if you don't believe in God, like some religious ones think the cultural is not enough.
01:51:48.000And I think culturally you're an Israelite.
01:51:49.000You're from the tribe of Jacob, who's Israel.
01:52:01.000Powder PZ says, if the judge rules the 290,000 bouts, it's 298,000 bouts, broke chain of custody and are invalid, what happens with Blake's case since he lost by less than that?
01:52:17.000That's a good question, although, again, what's the remedy?
01:52:20.000When the judge says it's invalid, is he going to order a new election?
01:52:23.000Somehow, I don't think he's doing that.
01:52:26.000I think the judge is probably going to say, chain of custody was broken, that's bad, the law doesn't give me a remedy, and unless you can prove that either 17,000 in Kerry's case or 125,000 in my case were changed, not doing anything.
01:52:43.000But does the law need to give him a remedy?
01:52:45.000If I was the judge and someone said, these ballots have no chain of custody, I'd say, oh, then they're not valid.
01:52:50.000Like, the law requires, actually, that they have chain of custody, and if they don't, I don't consider them ballots, so remove them.
01:52:56.000And so the question then becomes, if the judge just says, 290,000 ballots will be removed from the total count, go through them and figure out who got what?
01:53:04.000It would throw every race into question whose margin was less than 250,000 or whatever, which is all of them.
01:53:08.000I think if it's Maricopa County, it would flip everything Republican.
01:53:12.000Because these are predominantly gonna be Democrat votes.
01:53:14.000I don't know, we talked a little bit about this earlier, I don't know if the margin in Maricopa County, Democrat to Republican, is enough with that number to change the results of your election if 290,000 were rejected, right?
01:54:54.000Then there's the problem of, if the documents don't exist, and there is a criminal referral, and someone is criminally charged for not following the law, how could those votes then count?
01:55:02.000Because you certainly couldn't come out and say, now hold on there a minute!
01:55:06.000We understand that the law was broken, and we have no evidence that these ballots were legitimately cast, but we're gonna count them anyway!
01:55:12.000Then the cost of winning election is just for the individual who wants to go to prison.
01:55:17.000That means if they don't solve this in any future election, an individual can be like, I'm willing to go to prison if it means half a million votes go to my candidate.
01:55:26.000That's already the structure of the law in so many other cases in Arizona, like ballot harvesting in Arizona.
02:00:22.000I use a number of different companies.
02:00:23.000So I have like three to four companies that I use right now.
02:00:25.000We're looking to, we used to work with a local shop in the United States, but they're no longer active.
02:00:31.000But if you have an active t-shirt store that you're printing shirts in the United States from the United States, the shirts are actually made in South America.
02:00:39.000I think it was either Ecuador, I think.
02:01:04.00030 bucks if you can get it, or it might take six months to get a US-made bling.
02:01:08.000Meanwhile, the stuff in Honduras, the stuff in El Salvador, it's just... that's... you can't even make... Meanwhile, my wife... I gotta open a t-shirt factory.
02:01:14.000My wife does vintage shopping for our kids, eight-year-olds and six-year-olds, and so when you get on eBay and you get a shirt made in the 80s or 90s, invariably made in the USA.
02:01:44.000Alright everybody, if you have not already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com, and this is it.
02:02:01.000We're gonna relax for a little bit and just cool off after Christmas and then I'm gonna go up to New York City because we have big Times Square billboards up right now for New Year's and we are going to the official New Year's party.
02:02:17.000Where supposedly all of the big shots in New York are going to be.
02:02:41.000So, uh, you know, the rumor is the official New Year's Eve party's gonna have a lot of, uh, big shots.
02:02:46.000Democrat players and things like that.
02:02:48.000And we're going as cordially invited guests to enjoy the buffet and watch the festivities.
02:02:52.000And, uh, I imagine that we will be calm and collected individuals, but we'll see how that goes, so, uh...
02:02:57.000I just want to say thank you all so much for your support in these past few years, and this year especially, allowing us to have that cultural dominance, at least to the degree we do, by doing things like in Times Square, and becoming a member helps us continually do more.
02:03:09.000The next big project is we're launching a coffee shop.
02:03:11.000The building has already been purchased.
02:03:13.000We are now beginning the process of designing and planning out the coffee shop and the hangout.
02:03:20.000Second floor is going to be games and hangout.
02:03:22.000Third floor is going to be a podcast studio where we can do Friday night special events and members can hang out on the first floor as we do the show.
02:03:28.000And then hopefully within the next year we have four to ten new locations and we can keep opening up these cultural spaces where people can hang out, meet each other, share ideas, and we can build that movement.
02:03:49.000Maybe we'll do a joint one with me and Kerry.
02:03:52.000Well, you know, if Turning Point USA is willing to have us, this space they built for us is incredible, and considering the amount of space they do have, You know, if there's ever another opportunity where they can get us a temporary setup, we could definitely come down and do other things like that.
02:04:07.000We were planning on doing stuff like that, going to Miami.
02:04:10.000We did go to Austin, we have the mobile trailer and everything.
02:04:13.000But it's like, you gotta find a place where you can hook up, get internet and do all that stuff.
02:04:16.000Fortunately for us with Arizona, Charlie said we could build you a studio and get your logo on the screen.
02:05:27.000And remember, if you disagree, if you start to get flushed, if you want to talk politics, whatever, that you're blessed just to be able to have the conversation and be there for them.
02:05:37.000You know, people are people are waking up all over Earth.
02:05:40.000And I want to remind you about this lovable, wonderful Mr. Bocas.
02:06:05.000A path forward here and I would love to pioneer some new regenerative medicine and then publicize and popularize the technology and save millions of more cats and dogs and people across earth and beyond.
