Sean Spicer joins Jemele to discuss his time as the White House press secretary, his time on Dancing with the Stars, and his thoughts on Joe Biden's refusal to wear a mask in D.C. He also talks about the media's role as a complicit arm of the Trump administration, and why he thinks it's a terrible idea to humanize the president.
00:00:14.000We now know that there is a large portion of the Chicago Police Department that is not vaccinated and that are threatening to take leave or just defy the COVID mandate.
00:00:24.000Mayor Lori Lightfoot has now said that the Chicago Police FOP president, that's the union, is attempting to induce an insurrection.
00:01:06.000Well, it's nice to get outside of the city.
00:01:08.000So, I'm assuming everyone knows who you are, but who are you, for those that might not know?
00:01:13.000I was a regular guy that worked in politics for a long time, and then Donald Trump announced I was going to be the White House Press Secretary, and my life changed forever.
00:01:24.000And then the last few years have been quite different.
00:01:27.000I did a season on Dancing with the Stars and showed that anyone who has no rhythm and no artistic ability can actually get a bunch of votes.
00:01:34.000I saw people on media get so mad about you.
00:01:53.000It's sort of it's it's something that came into being during the Trump administration
00:01:56.000Where there was like this assumption that we were aliens and that we needed to be humanized after we left like there
00:02:02.000was some kind Of process by which we went into a machine and came out the
00:02:05.000other end. Yeah dancing helped make everyone realize that's a guy
00:02:08.000That's a person Well, and he's actually not, you know, nuts that the way that the CNN and the Washington Post wanted you to believe.
00:02:16.000Well, I think it'll be interesting because, you know, one of the stories you have when I mentioned Joe Biden flouting the rules, it's Jen Psaki defending the breaking of the rules.
00:02:23.000And so it'll be definitely be interesting to talk to you about, you know, her role in the media's role.
00:02:30.000Hey, at least the costumes were great.
00:02:33.000I thought that was definitely something.
00:02:35.000But hey guys, my name is Luke Godowsky of WeAreChange.org.
00:02:38.000And I still remember the first time that I came back on this show recently, one of the first things that I said is that you can't comply your way out of tyranny.
00:02:46.000And then I was like, damn, that can make a really good t-shirt.
00:03:16.000Well, you're there to speak on behalf of somebody who's not able to do it themselves for a variety of reasons.
00:03:22.000And, you know, the issue that I have isn't necessarily with Jen, although there's some things that she's said or done that I've taken issue with, but it's a complicit press corps that sits there every day and nods their head and says, thank you, Jen.
00:03:35.000I will now write this and push it out to everybody.
00:03:39.000There's no attempt to talk about the hypocrisy, the double standards that go on in there.
00:03:45.000Or just drill further down in some of the policies.
00:03:48.000They take what she says as gospel and they go from there.
00:03:53.000And I think that's actually bad for democracy.
00:03:56.000For all the talk about the Washington Post saying democracy dies in darkness when Trump came in, the reality is democracy dies when you're not able to question things, when you're not able to question authority.
00:04:09.000Talk back, dissent, all of those things are part of the fabric of our country, and yet the further and further we go, the less and less we allow dissenting voices, people to question authority, to not even question authority in a bad sense, but just ask, I don't get it, explain this, or that seems to be a double standard.
00:08:32.000It's just fall in line behind the establishment, behind those in charge.
00:08:35.000But to elaborate on the Lori Lightfoot thing that Luke mentioned, Lori Lightfoot literally just posted this yesterday at 5.24pm.
00:08:42.000It's an image of her violating Chicago's mask mandates.
00:08:47.000So, you know, you ask, who's doing the insurrection?
00:08:51.000The people who are breaking the laws of this country, violating the Constitution, trying to rule by decree, not even following their own rules?
00:08:58.000Well, the president himself and Joe Biden were out to dinner this weekend in Georgetown, a very expensive restaurant, and they get filmed with that.
00:09:06.000They wonder why people Don't take them seriously.
00:09:09.000Don't take them seriously, but it's over and over again, and what is Jen Psaki?
00:09:12.000I mean, these guys just go, every time they get caught, it's, come on, seriously?
00:09:17.000Don't, you know, that's not a big deal.
00:09:19.000Gavin Newsom at French Laundry, all of these politicians, one after another on the Democratic side, get caught not obeying the mandates and the restrictions that they send for everybody else.
00:09:29.000D.C.' 's mayor, Eleanor Hornibs Norton, same thing, goes to a wedding.
00:09:33.000But it's everybody else should follow this and then they wonder why people don't believe and trust in them anymore.
00:09:40.000And I just kind of want to add to this point because when we look at Chicago, I think it's fair to argue that it's already a mess.
00:09:47.000More young people die in Chicago from gang shootings than COVID.
00:09:52.000And we have to understand that the Chicago Police Chief Union, the president of the police union in Chicago, is standing up and saying that almost 3,000 officers are going to defy a lot of these mandates.
00:10:04.000One-third of the entire Chicago Police Department.
00:10:07.000If that happens, I think it's fair to say there's going to be far greater implications in Chicago than we could even expect.
00:10:16.000When you think about it, you've got cops, healthcare workers, teachers, airline pilots, the list goes on and on of all these professions that are saying, if you force me to do something against my will, military members.
00:10:27.000At what point is that tipping point where society then really deals with the consequences of this?
00:10:34.000And you think about all these professions that we need who are pushing back.
00:10:38.000I don't think it's about the vaccines.
00:10:39.000I think it's about purging institutions of authority.
00:10:43.000So the cops that are putting up the Gadsden flags, defying the orders and quitting, are the ones who clearly have an issue with mandated medical procedures.
00:10:50.000But the cops who remain are going to be like, whatever.
00:11:36.000All they're doing now, and this weekend, Fauci goes on the Sunday shows and when he gets asked about criticism of himself, he says, if you criticize me, you're like a conspiracy theorist.
00:11:47.000The same guy, by the way, just so we're clear, one of the quotes that he gave out this weekend is that it's probably likely that J&J should have been a second dose, right?
00:15:02.000There was, I think in New York, it was between 11 and 6% of the police were like outright refusing.
00:15:07.000That may seem like a small percentage, but in a city that big, that could mean crippling an entire neighborhood or borough or the highways.
00:15:16.000So you have these people outright defying these mandates.
00:15:21.000I kind of feel like... I don't want to be pessimistic, but I don't know if it will be enough.
00:15:26.000I feel like a lot of these cops are using this to negotiate their contracts.
00:15:30.000Ultimately, it's not going to be enough to actually put a dent in this.
00:15:33.000And then, not to be pessimistic, but what, in two, three years we have a social credit system?
00:15:37.000The problem is you can't replace the cops, right?
00:15:39.000So if 6% of the cops call it, just 5, 5 for arguments, say we're walking off the job because of this vaccine mandate, that's a cheer point.
00:15:47.000In a place like New York or Chicago, a big city, that's several neighborhoods that suddenly don't have police covering them.
00:15:54.000There's not a crop behind them, especially in the whole defund the police movement, of officers that are waiting to take these jobs.
00:16:00.000We have demonized police officers to such a degree that they're having a tough time recruiting these individuals.
00:16:06.000So you lose that percentage, and to your point about Chicago, crime goes back up.
00:16:10.000I mean, just a few months ago, I mean, who wanted to be a cop?
00:16:14.000Especially with the demonization, especially with everything that happened with Black Lives Matter.
00:16:19.000And I think a lot of these mandates don't have to do anything about health.
00:16:22.000I think a lot of them are loyalty tests.
00:16:25.000And that's why a lot of officers who are not going along with the programming, not going along with the conditioning, not going along with the agenda, they're being purged.
00:16:33.000I played a couple videos today on my channel specifically of police officers resigning, calling in as they're still in uniform in their police car.
00:16:41.000There's a bunch of those videos going around as well.
00:16:43.000One of them saying some very choice words for the governor of Washington that are pretty It must be a cold day in hell when you convince Luke Rutkowski to actually stand up for the cops.
00:17:28.000Like I just said, I'm not convinced the cops are gonna stick this one out.
00:17:30.000I think they'll negotiate their contracts, get some special privileges, and then probably be like, okay, fine, whatever.
00:17:34.000But I do think a lot of the cops will quit, because I think this is a hard line a lot of people just can't cross physically.
00:17:41.000I thought about this, like, if someone came to you and said, you have to undergo this, and you're just like, dude, I can't cross that line.
00:17:48.000I will not be forced to do these things.
00:17:51.000I'm surprised actually that with all that it takes right now, I mean, I'm not in any way advocating this, but I'm just saying that it's funny that like people walk in all the time and say, you know, are you, are you vaccinated or not?
00:18:03.000The people who aren't actually are taking a stand because if you wanted to just fake it, you can't, right?
00:18:08.000I mean, let's fake it in a world like that we live in today.
00:18:11.000It's not hard to fake something documentation wise or otherwise, but yet the people who are doing this truly, I think, believe it and are saying, I'm willing to go down.
00:18:21.000I think it's a private medical decision and if people want to talk to their doctors about what makes for them, it's none of my business.
00:18:25.000Can I just, not to get off on a tangent, but what other medical thing could you possibly imagine somebody walking into a group of friends or a work environment and saying, Hey, did you get the, uh, such and such?
00:18:43.000There is no other thing that could possibly happen.
00:18:47.000There's actually a great meme where someone said that they immediately went to their boss and said, if you are taking responsibility for COVID, I demand to know the status of every employee's medical history, including when they've had the flu, if they're pregnant, if they have HIV, because certainly we should take those into consideration in the workplace if you're concerned about this.
00:19:07.000The idea basically being, as soon as the employer says, we recognize our liability in this, COVID, And these are not popular policies.
00:19:19.000People don't want to ask permission and be granted special paperwork by the same entity that runs the DMV to go to their supermarket or their local restaurant.
00:19:27.000This is a whole level of absurdity and insanity.
00:19:30.000People are protesting in droves including people in Dallas.
00:19:34.000There was an airport employee protest there today in Texas.
00:19:37.000There was massive protests in Italy where police officers used tear gas, water canyons on dock workers, on union workers, on protesters standing against the insane policies being implemented in Italy where they are pushing the agenda further, faster, and quicker than almost anywhere else in the world right now.
00:19:56.000And these clashes are not just creating protests and fights between police officers which are still obeying the laws, sorry, obeying the decrees by every exact extent that they are, but this is also having a huge effect on our economy, on our supply chains, on global trade, and these effects are absolutely monstrous and they're going to be very huge to deal with.
00:20:21.000One interesting thing that I just, we had a poll the other day from the Trafalgar group that we played on the show That was really interesting.
00:20:27.000If you listen to the mainstream media, I think you get the takeaway that Luke had, which is that there's this widespread belief that everyone had, but a plurality of Democrats, 47-43, so not just a barely, almost a majority, actually don't support people losing their jobs if they don't get the vaccine.
00:20:43.000But if you listen to the news, you would think that this is widely spread, especially among the left, and it's not.
00:20:51.000Because Matthew Iglesias has a great tweet.
00:20:53.000He said, Twitter is people who are 95% further left than the average voter arguing with people who are 75% further left than the average voter that they're too far, right?
00:21:04.000You have my favorite metric, because I feel like it's the easiest to understand for anyone who's paying attention, is that Democrats, 54%, according to Civics, believe the economy is good.
00:23:35.000But also, Walgreens played by a different set of rules, especially during the lockdowns.
00:23:39.000Walgreens was allowed to be open, so they made bank as small mom-and-pop businesses got obliterated and destroyed by policies that prevented them from operating their businesses and another reason why a lot of
00:25:25.000Should I have to bear the consequences of someone's vote?
00:25:28.000And that's the problem, is that San Francisco, until it's 100%, you're basically screwing everybody else who wants to live there in peace and not have their stuff taken, get punched in the face.
00:26:10.000They're going to leave these heavily blue areas, making them even more heavily blue.
00:26:16.000I was going to say, this is the exact same problem you see with the police force.
00:26:19.000When the good officers leave because they're like, I will not enforce something unconstitutional, you're left with police who will do anything.
00:26:27.000If you force people who are moderate and even remotely conservative out of your city, you're just going to end up with seriously spiraling crime.
00:26:50.000Stupid policy, it doesn't equate as liberalism to me.
00:26:53.000I don't know what these people are, if it's just like endemically idiotic and addictive because they see one mayor do it in another city on the internet, they're like, I'm gonna try it now in my city.
00:27:03.000I think that they're responding to what Tim was talking about on the Twitter example, that these guys think that somehow that that vocal minority on Twitter is a majority, and it's not.
00:27:13.000And that's the problem, is that they think that they are, by giving in to them, that they are doing the popular thing, But they're just giving into a very, very loud minority.
00:27:24.000You know, I'll be interested to see what happens next year in the midterms because we had this state seat in Iowa flip Republican.
00:27:32.000There is some speculation for a lot of reasons the Republicans are going to sweep in the House and maybe even the Senate.
00:27:57.000And there's a handful of others that are easily flippable because of redistricting.
00:28:00.000What I'm more interested in is, on January 7th, 8th, or whatever the day that that new Congress turns in, are the Republicans, especially in the House, going to put forward an agenda that is reflective of what the people and the grassroots really have asked for?
00:28:24.000This between watching the difference between Trump and Biden and watching the difference between these mayors that we're all talking about now.
00:28:31.000If you don't get it now, you're never going to get it, right?
00:28:34.000And so if Republicans in the House don't look at this opportunity and say, we got it, Then they've blown it big time.
00:28:44.000I think people got to make sure they're paying attention to the Republican primaries and making sure establishment do-nothing Republicans don't win.
00:28:51.000I thought Mike Gravel was pushing this thing called the National Initiative that it would have given the American people a fourth branch of government.
00:28:57.000It would have given us the opportunity to write laws and pass them into the Senate.
00:29:00.000I think that's a good idea because these Congress people get in there and they get desensitized and disassociated from what regular people want.
00:29:07.000And why would we not have the ability to It's hard to say.
00:29:10.000I do think, like you mentioned, you know, the Republicans, they're historically due to win.
00:29:27.000Because of the unpopularity of Biden. And then we look at the historical trends. But
00:29:31.000I'm just not convinced because like you said, if you don't get it now, you're never going
00:29:35.000to get it. There are a lot of people who are never going to get it. Now, there's a lot
00:29:38.000of reasons to think that things might might flip.
00:29:41.000Interestingly, in the last election, Republicans overperformed. It was it was to the polls. It
00:29:45.000was crazy. Like Miami going red. Yeah. South Texas. These are all these areas.
00:29:49.000I I want to believe first, I want to believe that Republicans will take back the House.
00:29:56.000And I would love to believe, but I can't, that they would actually impeach Joe Biden for like all the Ukraine stuff.
00:30:01.000And I mean, the dude's got literally everything.
00:30:03.000Yeah, not the emails that have come out, him meeting with Hunter Biden's partners, sharing bank accounts.
00:30:08.000You know what the problem is, is that every time The only time they've ever done anything effective is after 1994 when there was a contract with America and they said, we're going to do this.
00:30:20.000And then after it was like, where do we go?
00:30:23.000But if they don't get it now, then I think that they're going to lose trust for a really, really long time.
00:30:29.000I don't know how you get it back because enough of this stuff has happened.
00:30:33.000And I think that what I've started to do is, as I bring people on the show, I'll say, are you committed to doing something if you get back the majority?
00:30:40.000Because they need to be held accountable.
00:31:07.000It is insane the amount of lies pumped out through those networks all day every day, and people just believe it, even when it contradicts itself.
00:31:16.000Bill Maher, I think a good example, Bill Maher even.
00:31:19.000Because he's been doing well as a, you know, calling out the insanity.
00:31:22.000But he was wrong on the Covington kids, a week after it happened.
00:31:26.000Because when you just follow the cult media, they have no interest in informing you.
00:31:30.000Now the problem here is people are just going to blindly follow mainstream media.
00:31:36.000So if I go to someone on the right and ask them a legitimate question, and they're honest about it, they will get destroyed in the media because they'll be twisted and skewed.
00:31:45.000And then you can get someone, you know, in the Biden administration to literally break their own rules, like, you know, Biden, for instance, and they ignore it completely.
00:31:54.000So I've been talking, you know, I talk to regular people all the time.
00:31:57.000I mean, just like, you know, going out, going to the hardware store, people who don't know who I am and just see how things are going.
00:32:02.000And a lot of them are just like, I have no idea what's happening.
00:32:45.000You look at what's happening right now with our economy, with Afghanistan, with all the stuff that this administration tells us, and yet the mainstream media's complicity in promoting the agenda and the policies of this administration is so corrupt and it's so undermining to the professional journalism that it is literally like sitting inside your house and having someone tell you it's raining on a sunny—I mean, it's sunny on a rainy day.
00:33:08.000Have you ever, I posted this photo on Instagram, I can't pull it up unless I log in, but it shows, I think it's like CBS and Fox News during Gordon Sondland's testimony, and they're two TVs side by side in a gym.
00:34:51.000Now, the funny thing is, as the saying goes, liberals think conservatives are evil, conservatives think liberals are misguided, right?
00:34:58.000I think people who are moderate, libertarian, you know what?
00:35:02.000I think it's easier just to name the cult.
00:35:04.000The Democratic establishment and their voters are in a cult.
00:35:06.000Because everyone else, they disagree with each other on a lot of things.
00:35:09.000Luke's fairly libertarian or very freedom-oriented, but there are conservatives who disagree, but they agree on the truth and the facts to a great deal.
00:35:17.000But there are a lot of people who blindly follow behind Jen Psaki.
00:35:20.000I think it's interesting for two reasons.
00:36:00.000I mean, I mentioned to you guys before we started, there was a profile on Jen and a reporter from the New York Times called me and they said, well, what do you think?
00:36:07.000And I said, look, the reality is I walked into the lion's den every day and she walks into a bunch of kittens.
00:36:13.000And everyone thought that was ridiculous.
00:37:00.000So I think a lot of times when there's a switch of administration, the folks who are, say, covering Biden on the campaign trail will kind of tap in, if you will, to cover the White House because they know the candidate or it's their turn.
00:37:11.000And I think, frankly, there's a lot of burnout after you've been living, especially covering Donald Trump, where you have to be up early and stay up late just to stay up with the guy.
00:37:23.000You can be off some days, but it's like... You would do like seven days in a row of speaking every day?
00:37:29.000Oh, I was, so the way I worked for my tenure was on Sundays I would try not to go into the office, but I was still, you know, either on my computer or on an iPhone or what have you all day long.
00:37:39.000But Saturdays I was in and, you know, every weekday.
00:37:43.000I don't, I don't want to blame Jen Psaki.
00:37:45.000There was a big, you know, when she came in and the circle back stuff and the memes, I think they're funny.
00:37:58.000When the Deepwater Horizon thing happens in the Gulf of Mexico, do we expect BP to come out and be like, we're irresponsible and we caused a major oil spill, it's our fault?
00:38:08.000I didn't mean to expect isn't the right word.
00:38:10.000Look, a prosecutor that walks out and says, look, I know my boss just said this, but they're nuts.
00:38:16.000You've got about 8 seconds before they're like, can we take your badge and get out.
00:38:20.000You're like a lawyer, and I hate to use the analogy but it's easy to make, that you don't get up there, you make the best case for the person you represent.
00:40:53.000I don't, you know, whether it's you or Saki, I see a White House press secretary.
00:40:58.000Like we were saying, they're there to sell the policy, they're there to speak, to not interpret I guess, but you know, to present the case.
00:41:05.000But you gotta remember the other thing is, Jen was at CNN prior to coming here.
00:41:17.000They could have pulled a homeless guy off the street, put him in there, and as a Democratic spokesperson, they'd be like— Right, fair enough.
00:41:21.000But my point is— But let's be honest.
00:41:41.000Pelosi stood in front of the press and was asked last week about the Build Back Better plan and she said, you folks need to do a better job of selling it.
00:41:50.000I was like, oh my god, you said the quiet part out loud!
00:41:55.000You literally chided them for not doing your job, but that's what they think.
00:42:01.000That's what the left thinks, is that the press is a tool to get at our message.
00:42:05.000I mean, how else did Biden get elected?
00:42:06.000Biden literally hid in the basement while the media did the pitching, the campaigning for him.
00:42:23.000But I have two chapters in here that talk about the complicit nature of the press.
00:42:28.000And it's the thing that people have to understand is when you look at the examples of how Biden conducts himself and how the press doesn't do their job, then you get it.
00:42:36.000How deep do you go in the rabbit hole of who owns the companies that run the media?
00:42:40.000It's a great question. In this book, that's not, I touch on that in my last book, but I'm not
00:42:45.000selling that. What's that one called? Leading America. But because I think that's a good point.
00:42:49.000But I, but here, the point was to look at the Biden administration and recognize the fact
00:42:54.000that they weren't getting the, and we talk about this from the, you talk about the mask mandate
00:42:57.000now, him going to this Georgetown restaurant.
00:43:41.000He's going to have one term and he wants a legacy that says, I did more for the left than anybody else.
00:43:46.000I want to be remembered for the guy who named the first black female vice president, the first openly gay department head, which is what he says, even though Rick Grinnell did serve under Trump, but he wants to nuance it to say, department, but all of these things that he wants to do are
00:44:01.000to cement his legacy as the latest version of FDR. A bunch of virtue signals. The only issue
00:44:16.000I think special interests are using him to push through some of the most absurd, ridiculous, most craziest policies that they would never have the balls to do if there was a real candidate behind that presidency.
00:44:45.000If he knows what he's doing, he's tanking the economy on purpose, especially with his vaccine mandates, especially with his restrictions on trade, especially with the effects that he has had on global trade in general.
00:44:56.000So I think if he knows what he's doing, he's assuredly making sure that the United States gets destroyed from the inside, especially with the Afghanistan policy, especially with all the policies that he has proposed never help out the average American.
00:45:11.000Look at Afghanistan objectively, no matter who you are, whether you've served a day in your life or not, and say to yourself, did anybody honestly think that that was a good idea of saying, hey, let's get these guys out first and then worry about everybody else?
00:45:25.000I mean, the entire thing, it literally took a sixth grader to go, ah!
00:45:37.000No one's working to begin with and you think the answer is to tell them to work more?
00:45:41.000Meanwhile, there's still crazy carbon emissions, especially passed by California, that prevent many of these ships, many of these trucks from even operating in the state of California.
00:45:51.000So there's many layers to this that we don't even understand yet.
00:45:53.000And there's still a truck driver shortage.
00:45:56.000So being like, we're opening the ports 24-7 does literally nothing.
00:46:45.000While the crisis is happening, we're wondering, like, how did this happen?
00:46:48.000Well, the guy who's supposed to be running that isn't here, for one thing.
00:46:51.000But actually, before the show, you brought up a really good point about this.
00:46:54.000So I have a chapter in the book called Biden, Inc., and it talks about all the people that got confirmed and didn't that we don't know about.
00:47:01.000And when I say that is frankly, I don't think Republicans did their job
00:47:38.000So when Biden, when he was confirmed, Right.
00:47:41.000And I talk about this in the book, that the first thing Biden says is, I'm excited to have the most qualified guy.
00:47:46.000No, he says, I'm excited to have the first openly gay cabinet member to lead a department.
00:47:52.000And they said that because Grinnell had been DNI, but that's not the point.
00:47:55.000The point is when Grinnell got hired, By Trump, it was because he was qualified, because he had the experience.
00:48:01.000When Buttigieg got hired, it was because he checked a box, not because he was qualified.
00:48:05.000I feel like, you know, I see Buttigieg, and they make that announcement, he's at the first gay department, and I'm like, wow, that's really cool.
00:48:12.000Congratulations to Buttigieg on his family and his love and his children.
00:48:17.000So what experience and work do you have?
00:48:19.000Look, the social stuff aside, we can be like, that's nice.
00:48:22.000I mean, that's why I think Biden doesn't care about his legacy.
00:48:25.000He has a guy that's arguing with Tucker Carlson about male breastfeeding right now.
00:48:30.000That's the argument happening right now.
00:48:32.000Because to him, it's more important to say, I checked a box.
00:48:45.000Not that I want the best qualified VP that can step in and be president.
00:48:49.000I want to have the first woman and I'm going to choose someone of color.
00:48:52.000So he immediately says it's not about qualifications.
00:48:55.000The other person that I really delve into, and there's a lot of them, but one of my favorites is Dennis McDonough.
00:49:00.000He's the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, never served in the military, didn't work with veterans groups, and doesn't have anything to do with health care, right?
00:49:07.000The only other person in the history of the United States that hasn't been a veteran that was secretary was David Shulkin, who had served in Obama.
00:50:09.000That's what happens when you let an authority run the show all the time.
00:50:12.000I think that's why this decentralized United States is so important and why the private sector is such a big part of our lifestyle, because you can't let some central organization pick all the pieces and parts every time, because eventually you're going to get some idiot that comes in.
00:50:25.000But one of the points that I touch on in the book is this.
00:50:28.000You have to understand what I call the why.
00:51:38.000But the point is, is that the Democrats have an overarching goal, which is to maintain political power as long as they can so that they have a vehicle to push these policies through.
00:51:47.000And once you understand that, that these people and these policies are all there for that same collective reason, then you get it.
00:51:54.000And this is like the Great Reset using the American Democratic Party.
00:51:59.000The more people that are addicted to government, the more that they enact policies that ensure that they never are out.
00:52:05.000You mentioned, you know, Biden basically hires these people with no experience.
00:52:10.000Like I said, you know, Buttigieg is probably just, here's your kickback.
00:52:12.000Thanks for throwing your weight behind us.
00:52:15.000But I kind of feel like, you know, Donald Trump had some people who should not have been there under the assumption they'd experience.
00:52:21.000I think he thought John Bolton was going to give him good advice, and that was a mistake.
00:52:24.000I think he thought Millie was going to give him good advice, and that was a mistake.
00:52:27.000So I wonder if Trump would have been better off with a bunch of randoms that didn't have experience in the long run.
00:52:33.000Well, to some degree, we kind of started that way.
00:52:36.000I mean, you think about it, Trump, look, if you go back looking through every other candidate in history, they were either a politician, a general, they had a group of people around them, especially in modern times.
00:52:44.000If you're a governor or senator, you've got advisors and consultants and donors that can fill spots.
00:53:38.000But the point isn't that they're not smart, it's that they're not qualified for the jobs they're in.
00:53:43.000This is why I think, you know, Joe Biden's in charge.
00:53:46.000You know, some people want to play it out like he's secretly not running the show, Kamala's... No, I think you've got a bunch of sycophants who are sitting around being like, sure thing, Joe, unqualified people.
00:54:15.000But I genuinely believe he's sitting in these cabinet meetings and he's like, uh, Kamala, can you, uh, the border, uh, uh, uh, I'm going to go to bed.
00:54:28.000And then she's like, I don't know what I'm doing.
00:54:29.000And then the media is like, where's Kamala Harris?
00:54:31.000And she's like, I don't know what I'm doing.
00:54:33.000I would disagree, especially when we look at what's been happening, because when you see the policies and who they directly affect, they affect middle America, people in the lower class that are absolutely being obliterated.
00:54:44.000The billionaire class, they're getting richer than they ever have been in recorded human history.
00:54:49.000There's a chart going around right now.
00:54:50.000I mean, you can always ask, you know, who benefits?
00:55:05.000There's a new chart going around right now that says in the United States the top 1% now holds more money and more wealth than all of the middle class combined.
00:55:14.000So when we were seeing such a huge transfer of wealth, when we were seeing the American people just thrown down the toilet, being mandated, being restricted, being regulated, being taxed more than ever, who do these policies directly benefit?
00:55:27.000A lot of the multinational corporate billionaires that of course have financed him.
00:55:48.000Here's this new tax, which will make you win, which will give you money and screw everyone else over.
00:55:52.000So I pulled up this chart from Business Insider and you can see that for the first time it appears, well not for the first time, but at least in the span of this chart, that the top 1% now surpassed the middle 60%.
00:56:02.000I don't know if I agree on necessarily what Joe Biden is doing, but I will say that the establishment elites as a whole definitely want to create a class system where the poor working class never move up.
00:56:32.000The ship's going down and we're going down with it very fast.
00:56:36.000Look at the way China has been establishing their policies, their foreign policy, their domestic trading systems, their belt and road initiatives.
00:56:45.000It's completely, 100%, 80 degrees different than what we're doing here in the United States.
00:56:51.000Let's go back to the initial story, actually.
00:56:54.000Aside from Buttigieg being unqualified, he's telling us right now the supply chain disruptions could continue into 2022.
00:57:03.000So what does this mean for us as consumers?
00:57:06.000What does it mean for the middle class, the working class, for people who want to put a Thanksgiving turkey on their table?
00:57:42.000It's meant to destroy the middle class.
00:57:43.000This is a deliberate attack on them and anyone else who is daring to even look up and see the exact situation that's happening right in front of them.
00:58:05.000This crisis is happening because people are not getting vaccinated.
00:58:09.000He says as soon as people get vaccinated all the supply ... chain problems will go away that that's lunacy that's insane ... thinking exactly and this is this is this is not just a ... cold to this is desperate people trying to hang on to any ... kind of fear-mongering that they think will work to convince ... the American people to lay down to give up their rights.
00:58:30.000The global supply chain problems are big.
00:58:32.000They're exacerbated by government, and they're only going to be made that much worse.
00:59:05.000It's beyond even 1%, especially when we go into the money printers, especially when we go into the billionaires that are enriching themselves more than they ever have been in the history of the world.
00:59:17.000And I don't think this has anything to do about legacy.
00:59:45.000First they judge Afghanistan as success, now they're judging the economy.
00:59:49.000I don't know if they understand what that word means.
00:59:52.000You know what's amazing is that, you know you mentioned with like Jen Psaki or even when you were in the White House as the press secretary, like you're there to basically speak on behalf of someone who can't speak for themselves and if you're like, well the guy's a moron, you'll get fired in two seconds.
01:00:06.000At a certain point, maybe people need to be a little bit more candid.
01:00:08.000Like, you know, Buttigieg or Biden or Kamala.
01:00:10.000Anybody could just be like, we get it.
01:00:18.000Like, I just, I took my son to see the Lego movie whenever it came out.
01:00:20.000And I just remember everything being like, everything is okay.
01:00:24.000This is like, they don't think that we see this.
01:00:27.000When you go to the store and things cost more, or you go to fill up your car and it costs more, or you don't see something on a shelf, you don't go, Yes!
01:01:13.000They created it, and now they're trying to say, OK, it's no big deal.
01:01:17.000The idea that they're out there saying, hey, this is going to continue into next year is not something that we should say, OK, good to know.
01:01:29.000I mean, if you go back to what Fauci was saying about lockdowns, oh, you know, we're going to be wearing masks and locking down for the next year into 2022 or whatever.
01:01:36.000And then you get the supply chain disruptions.
01:02:26.000Man, I look at the history of the U.S.
01:02:28.000government and lying to the people about secret operations and the weapons of mass this and this and the Cuban that and like Kennedy tried to speak out against it and then I don't... I can't... I can understand classified information.
01:02:43.000I can understand the government lying about certain military operations.
01:02:46.000I can understand if they came out... Yeah, exactly.
01:04:39.000And the guy, by the way, just to cap it off, the guy who said it was a stupid idea is already like, well, whose face will it go on?
01:04:46.000I can't believe I remember seeing the media running that story like we could mint a trillion dollar coin it's and it's like oh my god we don't live in there's nothing's real it's just the government's like we have a trillion dollars debt solved is it that much crazier what's happening right now with the government just literally printing zeros and and it just Pressing it on a computer button?
01:05:08.000Yeah, just on a computer, just sending out loans.
01:05:10.000They're doing it anyway, they might as well make a coin celebrating it.
01:05:29.000And we're negotiating with crazy people I hope people are paying attention, man.
01:05:35.000Look, I'm not going to give anybody any financial advice, but, you know, we're trying to make sure that whatever it is we think we're going to need for the expansion of this company, like recording equipment or stuff, we're getting now.
01:06:35.000For the guy or mom or dad who's out there whose kid needs it for going back to school or something, or they need it for their smoke, they can't absorb that cost.
01:06:45.000You're working, you're making 20 bucks an hour and you're like, I only got to work one more week to save up for that new, you know, whatever I need.
01:06:53.000My guitar, you know, I'm going to write songs and I'm going to get out of this dead-end job.
01:06:56.000And then you're like, I finally saved up a couple grand and you go back online and now it's three grand.
01:07:51.000The problem I have is, you know, having worked at a homeless shelter and understanding, at least to a certain degree, the problem of homelessness, is that when I go down and I see a homeless person, and they're like, I would like to be homeless, and I'm like, Would you like not to be homeless?
01:08:36.000But the solution we often get from populist leftists is this very naive, hey, I know, if there's an empty house and a person without a house, we'll put him in the house.
01:08:44.000And then you're like, hey, who will pay for the utilities?
01:08:47.000Who will stop the house from falling down?
01:08:54.000These things have to be built and maintained so we can recognize the same problems.
01:08:58.000But how do we actually get people to stop screaming Nazi and actually want to work on solutions?
01:09:04.000Look, I think this is the point that I was making earlier about the power.
01:09:08.000They recognize that the more that they trap people in government That's how they exist, right?
01:09:16.000The more people become free from government, that make their own way, that live their own lives, that aren't dependent on government, the less need you have for the left and for Democrats.
01:09:25.000And that's the problem, is they fundamentally need you to basically be addicted to government to continue.
01:09:42.000And we have to understand that this is not just a liberal problem, a Democratic problem.
01:09:46.000I mean, when you look at what Bush and Trump did as far as spending, I mean, you want to pull your hair out because they exacerbated this problem.
01:09:53.000And the problem is just continued and only made worse by the Democrats.
01:09:57.000So to see this kind of reckless spending... If we weren't in a situation where we had low interest rates right now, I think people would really appreciate or feel the impacts of what this spending means to us.
01:10:06.000I mean because right now the interest on the debt is at least somewhat manageable.
01:10:11.000The second interest rates go back up and it really impacts our ability to not do things.
01:10:48.000They're getting they're getting paychecks for screwing ... us over in Afghanistan for giving us medicines that go ... from 80 per 88% effective C to 3% effective C in 5 months and ... those the people getting the government contracts those are ... the people getting blank checks with no infrastructure ... no resources nothing to show for it except corruption that ... goes both ways Democrat and Republicans are responsible ... for it and I think even if Republicans doing and I agree ... with I agree with your point Sean they're not going to do anything.
01:11:16.000Do you know what the most interesting thing that I thought happened over the past couple weeks that didn't get a lot of attention is, and this sounds very Inside the Beltway, so I'll preface it with that.
01:11:31.000And they basically said, we don't need you anymore.
01:11:35.000To me, and I know a lot of people are sitting there saying, OK, what's the big deal or what?
01:11:39.000But they recognize that for the first time, the party is shifting a little bit to represent the workers, not the leaders.
01:11:46.000It's not about representing the corporations anymore, but the workers.
01:11:49.000And there's been this dynamic shift in politics where the Democrats used to represent union workers and men and women who were blue collars and worked with their hands.
01:11:59.000And now the Republican Party, because largely Donald Trump refocused them, have now recognized that's who their constituency is.
01:12:06.000Those are the people that need to get taken care of and listened to and are overlooked, not the big corporations who are there to pay lip service to a lot of this stuff and at the end of the day take everything they can from Republicans and then support Democrats.
01:13:02.000If you're not paying attention, you'll be fooled by this WWE-style wrestling match in front of you.
01:13:07.000But at the end of the day, I think the same special interests, the same billionaires that are getting more money than ever, are the ones buying out the Republicans, buying out the Democrats.
01:13:15.000And that's why we're not going to see any difference when the Republicans take back Congress and the Senate.
01:13:19.000It's not going to mean anything, because we're not going to see anything from it.
01:13:23.000Listen, here's the thing that I think For so long, I'm not a supporter of term limits.
01:13:28.000I believe that at the end of the day, you have to be held accountable for your decisions, right?
01:13:32.000What Trump showed us is that leadership does matter.
01:13:36.000One of the coolest things about working for him was that he just wanted it done.
01:13:41.000It wasn't like, hey, how many PowerPoint presentations have you guys put together and how many meetings?
01:15:24.000He needs to be the guy who grabs the other person's microphone and goes, excuse me, excuse me, no, listen, as opposed to the waiting to be respected.
01:15:31.000That's what people like about him taking charge.
01:15:34.000I don't see a role where he says, hey, let me be the behind the scenes guy.
01:16:31.000I think DeSantis is going to give him a fair running because— First of all, DeSantis—but I don't think, A, DeSantis runs against him, number one.
01:16:37.000Number two, again, if you look at the early states—and again, part of this comes down to how the game is played in terms of how do you accumulate the 1,500-plus delegates needed to be the nominee.
01:16:46.000And right now, the system and the grassroots and everything favors Trump.
01:17:22.000I like how he pushes back on the media.
01:17:24.000I like how he—look, one of the things that I thought was so great is during COVID, when he was getting all the flack at the beginning for how he's handling it, he stuck to his guns.
01:17:32.000He said this is the right thing to do, and he didn't bow to public pressure and polls.
01:17:37.000I'm so tired of watching someone pick their finger in the air and saying, hey, what's the right decision?
01:17:43.000I think DeSantis has core values that I may not agree with every time, but I know he actually believes them and he means it and he'll fight for them.
01:18:13.000I mean, that's the end of the fourth turning.
01:18:14.000But again, if you think about it, every time that you try to game the system, politically speaking, And say, okay, well, in five years I'll be there.
01:18:54.000Yeah, I do get a kick out of the fact—I mean, that goes back to the point that we were talking about the media.
01:19:00.000I always think it's funny when you expose the stuff, the idea that that reporter stood there.
01:19:06.000I mean, I was just like, it didn't rhyme.
01:19:08.000It's not like Biden rhymes with Brandon.
01:19:10.000I mean, like, how do you come up with that?
01:19:13.000But it just shows you how complicit these guys are that no matter what they said, they were just like, well, they're congratulating you, Brandon.
01:19:22.000When I went on your show, it was actually really funny because when you played the clip, you hear Beep Joe Biden, beep Joe.
01:20:58.000I mean, I've never seen either reaction in modern history where you've got a group of people going out to support a non-candidate, in this case Trump, because they believe in him and the movement, and people at public events yelling political things in a huge stadium.
01:21:16.000And it's not like, you know how sometimes you can hear a faint chant?
01:21:19.000I mean, this is something that's overtaken the entire football stadium.
01:22:15.000Maybe not everybody, but enough people are seeing this and they're recognizing.
01:22:18.000So I think Let's Go Brandon is the perfect phrase for these times because it allows you to convey an idea wrapped in, you know, kind of a little, a little, a little nice friendly package.
01:23:15.000I know there's some people talking about... Can you just squeeze in these handbags to one of your answers?
01:23:18.000There's some people talking about inauguration, there's some people talking about the Syria strike, about those comments that you made before.
01:23:24.000Well, I mean, there were things that we sold, I remember early on, like the travel ban.
01:23:33.000Horrible, I mean in terms of like we didn't have our act together We didn't have the full list of countries and the method I so there were things that we tried to sell that frankly I just don't think we did well because we were new and we didn't have all of our ducks lined up in a row But there wasn't anything that was like, oh my god, I can't do this It was more like if we're gonna do it We've got to have everything lined up ready to go and and that happened more often than not I think one of the things that I was proud to have started and then I left is that After we kind of blew healthcare, I remember one day walking into the Roosevelt Room, Tom Price, Secretary of Health and Human Services at the time, I looked at him and said, OK, where are the groups on us?
01:24:15.000They're getting ready to do all this repeal Obamacare.
01:24:19.000I'm like, I don't know, the AMA, the doctors.
01:24:21.000He's like, yeah, no, no one's with us.
01:24:24.000And I was like, okay, this is a problem.
01:24:26.000So when we knew that tax reform was coming up next in the queue, I literally was like, we're having a meeting every day, we're sitting down, we're lining up our top folks, and we're gonna do this right.
01:24:38.000But out of the gate, look, it was exciting and different and new, but we definitely made a fair share.
01:24:43.000Because I can imagine, it's definitely not an easy job.
01:24:46.000And for me personally, I'd be like, okay, I gotta sell this.
01:24:49.000Well, first of all, this goes back to what we said a moment ago.
01:24:52.000No one's sitting there saying, Hey, before you go out, do you agree with this?
01:26:13.000Think about what we're doing right now.
01:26:15.000Live streaming a show with tens of thousands of people, right?
01:26:17.000That didn't exist when Obama was president.
01:26:20.000So I was like, okay, we've got people that were live streaming things on Twitter and people that were... That's the context they want to include.
01:26:25.000So my point was, how do I basically make the case that this is a silly argument And a lot of people did.
01:27:00.000When it comes to voting, for instance, and I'll say this passively, I don't want to derail the conversation, but with mail-in voting, why is it so powerful for Democrats?
01:27:09.000Because they have one apartment complex with 1,000 voters in it.
01:27:12.000They can knock on all those doors in a day.
01:27:14.000A conservative has to go to rural areas and drive miles between houses in some instances.
01:27:18.000But also, I mean, yeah, or they go to a union hall where everybody's there.
01:27:44.000I don't blame Psaki for not getting asked by journalists.
01:27:46.000But I will just say this, just to be clear.
01:27:49.000I think we could have done a better job.
01:27:51.000And just so everyone understands, the president, I get back from the briefing room, the phone rings, the White House operator's like, the president's on the phone, and he said some things that cannot be repeated.
01:29:00.000And he makes clear, first thing he says in the book is, I voted for and supported Bernie Sanders, so by no means do I support Donald Trump in any way.
01:29:08.000But he goes through every single one of the media narratives that Trump is accused of.
01:29:14.000You know, there's some good people on both sides, this, that.
01:29:16.000I mean, all those things that Trump has supposedly said.
01:29:20.000And he says, here's exactly the transcript of what he says.
01:29:23.000Here's the context in which he said it.
01:29:24.000And it's like, this guy literally breaks down every one of these things and makes it clear, I don't like him, but it's what you're saying to him.
01:29:34.000He's like, I just want to be clear what the truth is about what he did say, not what CNN's headline was.
01:29:46.000There are things that Trump said that I just assumed, okay, I assumed that he didn't really mean that or whatever.
01:29:50.000But then you go back and you read it and you go, he actually didn't say what the, what the CNNs and the Washington Post and the world said.
01:30:05.000But I loved the fact of actually stopping and saying, And, you know, not to make it personal, but there were so many of these things that happened to me.
01:30:13.000There's one that became really famous, where it's like, Spicer hides in the bushes.
01:32:27.000And then they ended up writing this ridiculous story about us.
01:32:29.000But the funny thing is, a guy from GQ saw it, believed it, and was like, I want to do a feature profile on this, and then showed up and was like, none of it was true.
01:32:37.000I'm like, yes, here's my bedroom with my window and my bed.
01:32:41.000It's amazing, though, but once they write one thing like that, then it justifies every other reporter from using that as a fact as if it's gospel, right?
01:32:49.000Because, well, it was written once before, therefore it must be.
01:32:54.000And, you know, I've mentioned this before, but there are literally two chapters in the book that go through the media and how complicit they are and what they do to cover up for this.
01:33:03.000Because it's not always what they write, it's what they don't write.
01:33:06.000Man, journalists, at least in this beautiful, idealized world, were the fierce, independent folks challenging the establishment, holding the powerful to account, when in reality, they're literally just working for those people to sell products.
01:33:22.000By the way, I'm watching the comments and one of the guys says, fact checkers.
01:33:25.000And I'm like, you want to talk about, like, if you go to school and you're in high school and you literally have no skills, the guidance counselor at one point comes up to you and says like, Have you thought about becoming a fact checker?
01:33:36.000Like, I think that's what happens, because these folks, literally, when I left the White House, I had all these anecdotes.
01:33:42.000And at one point, Mike Pence had given this speech about how many people were out of work.
01:33:48.000And let's just say, hypothetically, the number's like 1,000 people were out of work.
01:33:52.000And the Washington Post gave it four Pinocchios, because it lacked the context that, well, 1,000 people were out of work, the population had grown, therefore, and I'm like, No, no, all he said was this is how many people are out of work, but they deemed it 100% false because it lacked the context.
01:34:09.000And I'm like, that's not how people talk.
01:35:40.000And there's no disrespect to Kayleigh.
01:35:42.000But I also think that the longer that you had in Trump world to watch what the president liked and didn't like and what worked, you know, so that you could kind of sit back and say, OK, less of that, more of that.
01:35:52.000So I think, Sarah, at that point, we were going through Russia, still had the Mueller report.
01:35:59.000Yeah, I am impressed with the press secretaries that worked under Trump.
01:36:03.000I mean, yeah, you guys, I think all did a pretty good job.
01:36:07.000I look at Jen Psaki and I think, like, she actually does a really good job in my opinion, too, because her job, you know, running circles around a press.
01:36:14.000That being said, it's like an amateur boxer who's in a match that's being thrown is going to look like they're doing pretty well versus people who actually know how to box.
01:36:39.000Here's my favorite anecdote, just to make you understand.
01:36:42.000So the White House press corps went out there.
01:36:48.000You know, you got a CNN contract, not because you did good reporting, but because you did
01:36:53.000So Brian Karam, who is the reporter for Playboy—yes, they have a White House correspondent—got a contract on CNN, not because he broke some story or anything, because he got into a huge, big tussle with Sarah during a briefing.
01:37:07.000I mean, literally, that's how you got a contract was to be a jerk in the briefing room and to jump up and down and to make yourself like a hyena.
01:37:15.000And so they reward him with a cable contract.
01:37:19.000That tells you everything you need to know about how that briefing room works.
01:37:22.000We got a good super chat considering what we were talking about.
01:37:25.000Brandon McGregor says, all this let's go Brandon is giving me an existential crisis.
01:37:30.000I think the cool thing is that now he's got like shirts and banners and you know that like you know he can walk around with stuff that says let's go Brandon.
01:37:36.000There's a Canadian government memo going around saying that the term let's go Brandon shouldn't be talked about by government officials, that it's deemed illegal now.
01:37:46.000It's going to be racist by the end of this week, I guarantee it.
01:37:48.000Tim Miner says, Tim, please explain to Sean the concept of a Michael Malice press secretary and how it will change everything.
01:38:52.000And I think it's because, you know, for say like you or Sarah or Kaylee, you take the job seriously, you're working, you're gonna answer questions.
01:39:21.000But there's a controversy about hooters and these new uniforms they have.
01:39:25.000And back in 1985, CNN's host Jake Tapper was the Hooters spokesman and made all these comments.
01:39:33.000And it's just like, you know, I'd love to be able to stand up there and be like, well, did you have that same view when you were representing Hooters?
01:40:22.000Each slot is two tickets, and that means if you bid and you're in the top five, then you will, you know, win.
01:40:29.000So we're trying to set that up right now.
01:40:31.000Hopefully we can get it to work properly.
01:40:33.000And then we're also going to be auctioning off Look, if you watch the Castcastle vlog, you'll see all the jokes, but I'll keep it straight for everybody here.
01:40:41.000We're basically auctioning off a come-visit facility.
01:40:45.000So we're setting up a bidding system for cool merch and events on the website soon, so perhaps there's an opportunity for individuals to come and hang out at the space.
01:40:58.000We're definitely trying to figure out a way to balance between auctioning and getting a ticket, because I don't like the idea of like, oh, if you're rich enough you can just come hang out, that kind of sucks.
01:41:06.000At the same time, if we put up like, hey, one ticket available to come hang out, it would instantly be gone and people would be like, yo, like, don't even have a chance to even try to get one, so...
01:41:17.000We're working it out, trying to figure out how we can make it work.
01:41:20.000We may actually start doing big live events.
01:41:23.000We had a conversation at a business meeting today about actually doing live events around the country.
01:41:29.000Friday nights, presumably, because that's when it's easier for me to travel, leave in the middle of the day, fly somewhere, do the live event, get to stay and leave, you know, head back on Saturday or Sunday.
01:41:37.000So we're working things out and hopefully we'll be able to get around the country and do some events.
01:41:47.000John R says, Tim, you should attach a small shelf to the wall where Sean is sitting, so he or any other guest selling a book can showcase it, and that is a brilliant idea.
01:46:02.000They'll say, hey, I'd really like a question today.
01:46:04.000OK, well, what are you interested in asking?
01:46:06.000And you'd say, oh, I want to ask about how he's doing with revising NAFTA.
01:46:10.000I want to talk to him about, you know, the wall, whatever it is.
01:46:13.000And so they wouldn't ever give it to us, but we would know the subject or we would say, gosh, if you're, we really want to talk about, you know, trade with, we had one time with the Prime Minister of Canada was there and we said, you know, if there's, if you're interested in asking something about the trade and the tariffs or, you know, renegotiating NAFTA, we'd love to.
01:46:53.000I was at the RNC for six years, and I'd met him probably twice, three times over the court prior to him announcing the run.
01:47:00.000And then when he ran, one of the things that I had done is oversaw the debate process.
01:47:07.000It was the first time in history that a party had actually taken an assertive role in the debate process, which is insane that it had never happened.
01:47:29.000And we developed a great relationship.
01:47:31.000I had always viewed the party, like I say, as the league.
01:47:34.000Like, my job was to make sure the grassroots voters decided who our nominee was.
01:47:39.000And then whoever that became, we worked as hard as we could.
01:47:42.000And I think there was a lot of people who A, resented my view because they said, well, you know, this guy can't win or this person can't win.
01:47:56.000And so we kind of started to grow closer and closer because I was one of the guys that would be willing to go up to Trump Tower, help with events, help craft messaging.
01:48:04.000And frankly, after he won, there wasn't a lot of people who had been in that position that had been willing.
01:48:10.000There was actually a front page style section story on me in the Washington Post that said, the outsider's insider.
01:48:18.000And it was just a bunch of people crapping on me saying, I can't believe you're throwing away your career on this guy.
01:48:23.000And I think Trump appreciated the fact that, you know, like I said, my view was he was the nominee.
01:48:30.000My job was to work as hard as I could for him.
01:48:32.000But a lot of people wouldn't come near him.
01:48:33.000And so when he won, I think he recognized the fact that You know, here's a guy who was loyal to me, that worked hard, that frankly had experience, and, you know, he offered me the job on December 22nd.
01:49:09.000Tell them, turn in, I'm on every night at six.
01:49:11.000Tell them to tune into my show once and say, tell me something that's crazy or, I mean, I think every night we have discussions about what's in the news.
01:49:20.000We have people on it to analyze it and that's it.
01:49:22.000But we get branded in a way that's, that's frankly, as I said, I had a, I got a, someone asked me the other day, he said, what do you guys think about how you cover the election?
01:50:03.000And if you have a problem, I'd like to hear what it is.
01:50:06.000I mean, meaning them, because I think that's the problem is that MSNBC and CNN basically brainwash people into believing that anything but them is blasphemy.
01:50:16.000I didn't know if I was going to read it, but I'm going to read it anyway, because it's actually kind of sad.
01:50:22.000Patrick Rose is asking me about somebody, but using the person's troll online name.
01:50:28.000I'm going to use the person's real name.
01:50:30.000Hey Tim, have you talked to Jamie lately?
01:50:33.000My understanding is that this individual was a big troll on the internet, a friend of mine committed suicide, and there's a lot of things, I think I may have talked a little bit about it before.
01:50:43.000I have some opinions on it, but I probably don't want to say too much, but this was a notable hacker trans woman, and I think it was a couple years ago.
01:50:52.000I think, just to keep it short and brief for the person asking, probably because I'm in a documentary called Hacker Wars, and I'm very obviously friends with a lot of these people, I think the culture war causes a lot of people very serious distress, especially in the LGBTQ community.
01:51:09.000If you take a look at someone like Blair White, for instance, who's a trans woman but conservative, Trump supporter, you can see the vitriol, the hate.
01:53:02.000Do you think, like, you know how sometimes you see that iconic photo, like, in a political sense, like a historical sense, and there's this figure looking up at, like, a picture of Churchill, and, you know, they're always thinking, what would... Do you think Fauci looks at Fauci and goes, what would Fauci do?
01:56:46.000I mean, the question is just, I can't believe that you'd want to walk back into the frying pan, but that's a decision that he's going to make.
01:56:58.000I mean, I think that there's a sense of going out there, being with people who are out there to enjoy you, who want to express their support for you, as opposed to then waking up the next day.
01:57:29.000I think so, because you can't criticize.
01:57:31.000I mean, there's times when he probably would have weighed in something, and then all of the left would have gone berserk, and now he can't.
01:57:37.000You know, I don't have a lot of, you know, I criticize him sometimes, but he would be hilarious right now.
02:00:12.000But when you look at the trend waves for Bitcoin, every four years there are similar waves and it has a lot to do with the code of Bitcoin and how the halving occurs and things like that.
02:00:22.000I don't know exactly what is supposed to occur now, but considering the crisis and people are looking for hedges and outs, and just like the trend of Bitcoin is to go in these big waves, a lot of people are speculating Bitcoin will hit 230.
02:00:37.000That being said, I'm not giving anybody advice.
02:00:50.000I'll do like small increments here and there on a regular basis, you know, sometimes, but I'm not going to like unload into crypto thinking it's going to go up right now.
02:02:13.000What I was thinking is that if, okay, so Bitcoin right now can get you like 30,000 loaves of bread, and if the American dollar inflates by a hundred times, then it'll be able to get you, I don't know, what, three million loaves of bread?
02:03:19.000In November when, last year when it was like 11 or whatever, and I was like, oh, okay, you know, you should buy some Bitcoin.
02:03:25.000Bitcoin ended up going up to like 60K.
02:03:27.000Funny enough, wood, lumber, went up the same rates.
02:03:32.000So even if you bought the Bitcoin, you could still buy the same amount of wood with it.
02:03:35.000If you had US dollars, you couldn't buy wood anymore.
02:03:37.000It just crossed my mind that maybe at some point the people that own the resources are going to dictate the value of the Bitcoin, not the US dollar.
02:03:44.000I think mostly what'll happen is Bitcoin is going to go up simply by its deflationary nature.
02:03:50.000It will become worth more as more people start using it, but it's a very, very complicated issue.
02:04:58.000And that's the thing that I loved about it, is it was like, it's not just going to tell
02:05:01.000you all the problems, but it's going to tell you how to fight back, how to get your kids
02:05:04.000involved in organizations that will put them on the right track.
02:05:08.000And you know, like I said, if you want to run for office, if you need to get read up
02:05:12.000on some of these economic issues that are important, because here's the thing, every
02:05:15.000one of these issues, we have the facts on our side.
02:05:20.000And as the holidays come up and you're going to be sitting there at Thanksgiving with the crazy uncle, the crazy aunt, who talks about immigration or critical race theory and tells you, oh, it doesn't, like Terry McAuliffe here in Virginia, it doesn't exist.
02:05:32.000There's a whole section in there, chapter 16, about critical race theory, its origins, what it intends to do, the goals of it.
02:05:39.000You need to be able to fight back with the facts.
02:06:09.000Yeah, we got way more stuff to talk about.
02:06:11.000But in today's video on the Luke Uncensored, I gave some very interesting prepper tips, and if you're interested in that, you can check it out on LukeUncensored.com.
02:06:20.000I have a lot of fun on that platform, and I hope to see some of you there.
02:06:24.000Yeah, I'm really glad you guys are here.
