In this episode, we're joined by two new members of Congress, Thomas Massey and Marjorie Taylor-Green, to talk about the Biden administration's crack pipes distribution program, a new invention from a chicken farmer, and much more.
00:00:20.000And I'm like, I don't know how that makes it false, but I guess In some strange technicality, you can argue the story is not true because there's more to the story.
00:00:29.000Well, now the White House is disputing it, claiming their safe smoking kit is actually not, it doesn't include crack pipes.
00:00:37.000But if you actually look up standard safe smoking kits given out for drug intervention, it includes meth pipes and crack pipes.
00:00:44.000So I don't understand why theirs wouldn't have that, kind of think they're lying.
00:00:48.000But Joe Biden's approval rating is in the gutter.
00:03:03.000There's supposed to be a fourth amendment.
00:03:04.000Well, you got to take privacy into your own hands and make sure you're doing what you can to ensure that privacy in a virtual private network can help you do that.
00:03:11.000Virtual Shield says their VPN service is compatible with all devices and allows you to browse the web safely, securely, and anonymously using their global network of servers and private IPs.

00:04:12.000But don't forget, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.
00:04:16.000And now let's get into that big story that's been going around that everybody can't stop talking about.
00:04:21.000Newsweek reports, White House says crack pipes never included in safe smoking kits.
00:04:27.000I think this story is particularly interesting to me because I can understand wanting to intervene to help people who are addicted to drugs, to lower drug infection rates, to get them into safe environments, and help them get off drugs.
00:04:39.000The problem I have with this story is that, for one, I think the White House is lying about not including crack pipes, and I think giving crack pipes to people, or meth pipes, and other drugs, syringes, will just increase the amount that they're actually doing.
00:04:52.000So I just want to mention one thing in reference to this story.
00:04:55.000If you do a Google search and look up harm reduction supplies and safe smoking kits, glass stems, crack pipes, and meth pipes are typically included in them.
00:05:04.000Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I don't know if our good friends from Congress have any insights into this story or what was going on.
00:06:15.000Well, as always, people should be getting medical advice from trusted medical professionals, and I don't care if it's a politician, I don't care if it's a celebrity, you gotta get that advice from somewhere else.
00:06:23.000The part of the story that makes me laugh is, okay, let's just say for a minute, alright, there's no crackpipes here, right?
00:06:35.000The issue is even Snopes acknowledged the point of this program is to give priority to minorities to smoke these drugs.
00:06:44.000So that means that think about this for two seconds.
00:06:46.000Like the Biden administration is basically saying we're going to be funding Programs that distribute drugs and drug paraphernalia to minorities.
00:06:54.000I don't think that's going to solve the problem of racism.
00:06:57.000Are they actually distributing drugs as well, or is this just a paraphernalia program?
00:07:05.000But if, like, I'll put it this way, if there's like a white dude who's a drug addict, there's like a black dude who's a drug addict, and your program says give the drug, the supplies, to the minority, that means you're going to have less white people doing drugs and more minorities doing drugs.
00:07:16.000That sounds Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:07:18.000We haven't voted on any funding for this.
00:07:19.000people getting sick from from dirty needles and and that's also horrible and and wait a minute
00:07:24.000wait a minute have we we haven't voted on any funding for this how are they doing it we've
00:07:29.000given them broad swaths I don't know how they do it.
00:07:32.000I don't remember reading this in any bills.
00:07:34.000We have voted on one thing, though, in our Judiciary Committee, and that is to make sure there's parity in drug sentencing laws between crack and powder cocaine.
00:07:45.000Because in the beginning, it was actually the African-American communities who wanted maximum sentences for these evil people that were destroying their communities for crack.
00:08:20.000I mean, like I said, right now the drugs that are coming across the border at just a record rate through the Mexican cartels are laced with fentanyl.
00:08:28.000And if young people are dying, if the number one cause of death for young people is fentanyl poisoning, I think drugs are a real problem.
00:09:09.000I think, you know, the problem is, we talked about this a bit last night, we want people to not do drugs.
00:09:15.000And so, personally, I think locking people in prison for imbibing something sounds really, really awful, especially if it's something hurting them and they're addicted and they need help.
00:09:24.000So you look at these other countries, you know, Portugal was big, but they offer people help.
00:09:29.000You know, my understanding is it's still illegal to do these things in public.
00:09:32.000Giving out these supplies and funding this stuff seems like they read a pamphlet about it and then decided to throw money at it without actually investigating what it's going to do, because it sounds good on paper.
00:09:41.000I just watched Leanna Nguyen from CNN talking about how think times are changing, the science has changed and things are changing.
00:09:46.000And now we got to think about how depression and how like despair is doing damage to people.
00:09:51.000So maybe this is a way to help people cope with their despair because maybe drug addiction is up.
00:10:10.000I love the fact-checking on this though.
00:10:11.000Like you were mentioning, fact-checkers, isn't it kind of crazy they're at that point where fact-checkers, for the most part, obscure the facts to make it harder for you to understand what's going on?
00:10:22.000And the question is, what is their purpose and who is paying them?
00:10:26.000I dug deep into factcheck.org and looked at their corporate records, and they receive funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which holds $2 billion of J&J stock, which is a vaccine manufacturer.
00:10:39.000The money they receive is earmarked for vaccine fact-checking.
00:10:51.000And so their fact checks didn't deny the fact that they were taking money from this organization that has two billion dollars of vaccine manufacturer stock.
00:11:00.000They said that I was wrong because the vaccine manufacturer has no editorial control over what they say.
00:11:36.000Well, they give it to factcheck.org and their entire program, which is probably not a big program, it's like one leftist reporter from Pennsylvania somewhere, is funded with it.
00:11:46.000And then they just pay for ads with it or something?
00:12:41.000No, they're picking and choosing what is the science.
00:12:43.000Apparently Dr. Fauci himself is the science, and he decides, and then that's the direction they go.
00:12:48.000Yeah, I mean, if you criticize him, you're criticizing science.
00:12:50.000But on the note of these fact-checkers, when you look at Snopes, for example, a couple years ago there was a huge controversy where they were fact-checking the Babylon Bee, which publishes satire articles.
00:13:00.000And part of the issue with that is it was actually Demoting their content in the algorithm and just to give you an insight into how honest this organization is referring to Snopes They double down on this instead of admitting that it was ridiculous to fact-check satire and they said we Conducted a study which showed that a lot of people believe these articles are real.
00:13:21.000Well, this is what they did They took headlines that were obviously jokes and rewarded them to sound like they weren't jokes So one example was Democrats vow to close dangerous gun buying loophole known as the Second Amendment and that was a Babylon B article It was reworded by Snopes to say, Cory Booker is one of several prominent Democrats to describe the Second Amendment as a dangerous loophole that allows people to buy guns.
00:13:41.000And then they asked people if they thought that was a real story.
00:13:45.000And when people said yes, they said, see, that means they believe the satirical Babylon Bee headline was true.
00:14:04.000When the vaccines first came out, the Pfizer data, the top line data was out there and the CDC issued a report and said that it was the vaccine data showed that the vaccine was 92% efficacious if you'd already had COVID.
00:14:20.000And I thought, well, that's a remarkable claim.
00:14:23.000And so I went and looked at the data and it showed it was there was actually a negative correlation for those who had already had COVID if they took the vaccine.
00:15:30.000So you're saying there's a negative correlative data, meaning that after someone received the vaccine, or if someone had received COVID and then they got vaccine, there was less resistance than if they hadn't had COVID and got the vaccine?
00:15:38.000It was minus 7%, but they had so little data, it's hard to draw any conclusion.
00:15:44.000Like the fact that they even claimed they could say it was 92% was ridiculous.
00:15:58.000Well, as it's gone on, though, we've learned more.
00:16:01.000But really, the truth is, when they're talking about the science changing, like she was talking about on CNN, y'all, it has nothing to do with science.
00:17:15.000President Biden's approval rating falls below 40% according to NewPoll.
00:17:19.000The rate marks an all-time average low for Biden at 39.8 in the RealClearPolitics average.
00:17:27.000That is, I believe, like two or three points lower than where Donald Trump was at the same time in his presidency.
00:17:34.000I think it's fair to say the Democrats have gotten the message.
00:17:37.000When you look at civics data, it's a website, civics spelled with a Q, you can see that on economics, on COVID, on the direction of government, independent voters and Republicans are very much in alignment.
00:17:51.000Republicans absolutely think the economy is trash.
00:17:54.000Independent voters think the economy is very, very bad.
00:17:57.000Democrat voters think the economy is good.
00:17:59.000Somehow, I don't know why, they must be watching too much CNN.
00:18:05.000Black Lives Matter support the COVID response.
00:18:08.000Democrats think Joe Biden did a great job.
00:18:10.000Independent voters, Republicans are kind of like, Republicans are like, it's miserable.
00:18:14.000Independent voters are like, it's pretty bad.
00:18:16.000So, you know, it's weird that we have Democrats, the voter base, believing something that most Americans, or at least independent voters, Republicans, don't.
00:18:27.000I think obviously it's media, but I think the media narrative is breaking.
00:18:31.000That's why Democrats are going down in the polls.
00:18:35.000It's that they've lost control of the narrative, which results in the polls tanking, which results in them saying whatever they got to say to try and win, especially this year.
00:18:44.000Well, you can't lie to people over and over when they see something different in their everyday life.
00:18:49.000When they're going to the gas pump and gas is up to almost $4 a gallon.
00:18:53.000When they're going to the grocery store and the store shelves are empty and food prices have gone up.
00:18:58.000And then when they're taking their kids to school and their children are healthy and their children are just fine after two years of COVID-19, but yet they're still being forced to wear masks.
00:19:07.000And then there's children, you know, suffering like with speech therapy and different type of You know, special needs kids, these masks are terrible for them.
00:19:15.000And so, yeah, it is a real issue, and you can't lie to people over and over again on the news when they see something different in their everyday life.
00:21:59.000And most of Congress had been vaccinated.
00:22:02.000So they asked Pelosi, and she said, until every member of Congress is vaccinated, everybody's going to wear a mask.
00:22:08.000And I realized, OK, the mask rule is now morphing into a vaccine rule.
00:22:13.000And so I organized, I don't want to say I led, but I organized 10 members of Congress, and Marjorie was among them, to go to the floor of the House and notoriously and openly violate this mask rule in front of the C-SPAN cameras.
00:22:27.000And we were promptly fined for our transgressions.
00:22:31.000And if she had just sent the bill to Georgia for Marjorie's case, or to Kentucky in my case, she would have been fined.
00:22:39.000We would have thrown them in the trash and she wouldn't have got her money.
00:22:42.000But what she did is she reduced our salaries.
00:22:48.000Well, she violates the Constitution to do it, because the Constitution says that the salaries are set by law and drawn from the Treasury.
00:22:55.000To be set by law, a law has to pass the Senate and be signed by the President.
00:23:00.000The 27th Amendment of the Constitution, the very last one to be ratified, ratified in 1992, but suggested during the Bill of Rights, says that congressional salaries can't vary without an intervening election.
00:23:13.000A lot of people think it was so we wouldn't give ourselves a raise.
00:23:17.000That could be partly true, but in reality, if you go back and look at the debates, they decided if anybody could get control of a person's sustenance of their salary, they could bend their will pretty easily.
00:23:28.000And so they made sure that you couldn't vary it until there was an election.
00:23:33.000Yeah, but even that, I mean, Marjorie's got $100,000 of fines.
00:23:39.000Oh, the next thing they did, because they figured out they can't stop me from refusing to wear a mask, because they figured out I truly will not stop doing it no matter how much they fine me, and we are going to have a very successful lawsuit.
00:23:55.000A letter was sent to Sergeant-at-Arms saying that they should put anyone without a mask up into the COVID box, and the public doesn't know about the COVID box because it's not in view of the C-SPAN cameras.
00:24:09.000The COVID box Nancy Pelosi had it built right before this the vote for Speaker of the House in January of 2021.
00:24:15.000It is a plexiglass box up in the corner of the House chamber.
00:24:21.000Now the plexiglass doesn't go all the way to the ceiling and it's supposed to be the the original design was for any House member to go there if they were sick or having symptoms of COVID-19.
00:24:33.000It wasn't for well people Unvaccinated people or people without masks.
00:24:44.000Representative Catherine Clark sent a letter to the Sergeant-at-Arms because they're so offended at me or Thomas or anyone not wearing a mask.
00:24:52.000And they want to put us up in the COVID box.
00:24:58.000This is beyond... When I think about how bad Congress is, you know the first time you came, Marjorie, and explained how they don't even really vote on the bills?
00:25:07.000They're just like, aye, nay, and then it's just like... It sounds like Congress isn't a real thing.
00:25:12.000It's like a theater to make Americans think there's something actually being done about our problems.
00:25:17.000Speaking of theater, do you remember the title of this person who wants us in the box now?
00:25:45.000Well, I was the guy that everybody hated.
00:25:48.000By the way, I was the most hated person in Washington, D.C.
00:25:52.000Now I'm just the most hated man now that Marjorie is there.
00:25:55.000But before Marjorie got there in 2020, March 27th, 2020, 10th day of flattening the curve, Congress decided to spend two trillion dollars with nobody there and taking no vote.
00:27:27.000By the way, I think they need a constitutional amendment to do that.
00:27:31.000What they have come up with since then is a vote by proxy, where a human being tells another human being on the floor, vote for me this way, so that they can't be compromised.
00:30:27.000I feel like he also reminded me, which is true.
00:30:30.000He's more popular than me in Kentucky.
00:30:33.000And he said it would be the end of me.
00:30:36.000And I tried to tell him this was constitutional and we needed to do it this way and it would still pass anyway because most people were for it.
00:30:43.000We just couldn't break the Constitution today.
00:30:46.000And he repeated, you know, I'm coming at you like you've never seen, never in your life before have you seen the way in which I will come at you.
00:30:54.000And then he said that I was a... I didn't know what that meant, but before I got back to my seat, I found out he said I was a third-rate grandstander.
00:31:07.000And you're in trouble when that happens.
00:31:09.000And that I should be thrown out of the GOP and some other stuff.
00:31:12.000So when I walked out of the floor, having objected and making everybody show up to work, which they hated by the way, they still wouldn't take a recorded vote.
00:31:21.000Even though they had a quorum, they would not put their names on that bill.
00:31:24.000And when I walked out, the press wanted to know what I had to say for myself.
00:31:29.000That my own president had called me a third-rate grandstander.
00:31:32.000And I looked at him, I said, I was offended.
00:31:38.000It was several months ago, actually, but video recently got released of planes coming into New York carrying illegal immigrants, undocumented.
00:31:46.000So they were being shuffled into, I think, Tennessee, and the Biden administration was using military flights, Air Force, to bring undocumented kids, illegal immigrants, across the country.
00:31:57.000We got video released of one of these moments.
00:32:00.000So there was a big story about these planes landing in Westchester, New York.
00:32:04.000Video of body camera footage is released of these federal contractors refusing to show ID, refusing to explain what they're doing.
00:32:11.000The police who are doing security at the airport are like, what is this?
00:32:18.000And then one of the federal contractors said something to the effect of, help us if the American people find out what's going on, what we're doing.
00:32:36.000And it makes, and everything you're telling me right now.
00:32:38.000And it really feels to me, you know, one of the reasons the media dislikes you guys so much, especially you Marjorie, is because you are regular people and you've somehow got into the room and they're, they're, they're, you know, they're holding their wine glasses, pinkies out like, Oh heavens!
00:32:57.000You guys both were like basically independently wealthy or had enough that you didn't need to make money out of Congress when you got there, I would imagine.
00:33:05.000I know you said you had a construction company?
00:34:04.000These are things that I think we should be working towards.
00:34:07.000But he was the first president that I believed in because I felt like every other politician, and most of the time, they've been selling out our country.
00:34:18.000For decades, they've moved us into this global economy, which is hurting every single American.
00:34:45.000I don't think our dollar is going to be worth anything pretty soon.
00:34:49.000And I think China has positioned itself so well.
00:34:53.000And because of our politicians who have moved us into this, I mean, Hunter Biden should be in jail.
00:35:00.000But there's many other people, Dianne Feinstein, many other people who have positioned and worked America into this global economy and companies, corporations in their interest, You know, I really worry about the dollar being worth anything at all.
00:35:16.000With everything we've seen that, you know, inspired you both to get involved in Congress, how optimistic or pessimistic are you?
00:36:20.000I still want to fight, but the process is getting worse and worse.
00:36:24.000Rank and file members are excluded from the actual legislative process.
00:36:29.000More and more, the only vote you take that matters is at the beginning of the year when you vote for speaker.
00:36:35.000And then, basically, there's a top-down structure that's in control of the legislation.
00:36:41.000This is why, to Ian's point about term limits, there are permanent staff there.
00:36:45.000I'm not talking about the staff that work in Marjorie's office or my office, but there are—I call them the Deep Congress.
00:36:51.000There's the staff that will be there when we are long gone and they were there before us and if when they so choose they could go work on K Street or maybe they came from there.
00:37:13.000I'm very open about my Christian faith, so I always keep hope, and I think that's the best way to look at every single situation we find ourselves in, no matter how dark it looks.
00:37:23.000I will tell you what happened this past week, what we found out through one of our colleagues, Troy Nells from Texas.
00:37:30.000The story he told about one of his staff on November 20th coming into his office during Thanksgiving week, And finding Capitol Police in his office that had been taking pictures of Congressman Nell's whiteboard and things in his office and then questioning his staff without a warrant or anything like that, questioning him about things on the whiteboard, that terrified me.
00:37:56.000But then we also found out Louie Gohmert, Congressman Louie Gohmert from Texas, also told a story and showed evidence, he actually showed it, of mail that was supposed to come to him to his office.
00:38:08.000But it went to the Department of Justice and then the Department of Justice had opened the mail, re-stamped it, and then they delivered it to him.
00:38:43.000So when we're adding up all these things and we don't know what's going on, it's terrifying.
00:38:49.000This should never happen in our Congress.
00:38:52.000Are there no cameras to see the vandals?
00:38:54.000I've requested for months, I have asked over and over, for the Sergeant-at-Arms and Capitol Police to put a camera in the hallway right above my office.
00:39:14.000And then the contractors admit to the body cameras that they've betrayed the country.
00:39:18.000I'm just gonna jump right into that hot tub and say it.
00:39:22.000If we're at the point where the public is barred from these buildings, and political rivals who work there are vandalizing your offices, when you've got accusations, let alone if it's true, like maybe Troy's wrong about this, maybe the capitalists are right, it doesn't matter.
00:39:38.000When you have such a hard divide where one side says, Capitol Police dressed as construction workers broke into my office, photographed protected materials, and then interrogated my staff a few days later about it, Civil War.
00:39:51.000I mean, if the January 6th Committee, if Democratic establishment, uniparty players are willing to use law enforcement and vandalism, physical attacks, To get their way to win?
00:40:02.000If they're going to subpoena the former administration, his staff, and members of the media, costing them hundreds of thousands of dollars, we are beyond elected representative government.
00:40:53.000So that is not something I go near, but I will say this shouldn't happen.
00:40:59.000We shouldn't be treated like political enemies in such a way where they may be spying on, you know, sending people to spy on our legislation Or not protecting our lives, like I feel like they're not protecting my life.
00:41:14.000Or, you know, putting us, making us go through metal detectors to go vote, where the entire room is on camera.
00:41:23.000One of the things that was floated the last time we talked to you was that Democratic groups are going to try and use lawsuits, the judicial system, to bar you from re-election.
00:41:34.000And we're seeing that now with Madison Cawthorn.
00:41:36.000They've filed claiming he's an insurrectionist for speaking at a rally, thus he's ineligible for office.
00:41:42.000That is shockingly dangerous because what happens when you get a partisan judge who agrees or disagrees and then one side or the other side says, oh, they only issued this ruling because of their affiliation.
00:41:54.000And then let's say, let's say they do disqualify Madison Cawthorn.
00:41:58.000Is he going to just be like, well, I guess I'm not in Congress anymore.
00:42:00.000Or is he going to say, no, I'm the duly elected representative and I'm going to the Capitol.
00:42:05.000And then what happens when the police bar him from entry?
00:42:07.000What happens to the people in his state who expect representation when they don't get it?
00:42:13.000She was punished for something that happened before she was elected, and they won't even say what it was.
00:42:18.000She was removed from all of her committees.
00:42:20.000Now, she was still allowed as a congressperson to be a congressperson, but it's kind of like a second class they're trying to demote her to because she has no committees.
00:42:35.000The voters, there's 750,000 to 800,000 people in every congressional district, and those people and those people alone should decide if you are eligible, if you've done something that disqualifies you.
00:42:49.000It shouldn't be the party that's in power when you get there who gets to decide.
00:42:53.000The elections are there for a purpose.
00:43:30.000Elections, it should be up to the people.
00:43:32.000They should be able to choose who their representative is.
00:43:35.000But this plan that was launched by Mark Elias, who is the Democrat election attorney, and he tweets about it all the time on his Twitter page, Mark Elias.
00:43:44.000This is a plan that is way out of bounds, completely out of bounds.
00:43:49.000I think it's one of the most dangerous things.
00:43:51.000I mean, look, what's one congressperson anyway?
00:43:54.000I mean, you want to get your legislation passed, then I would view the Democrats as just, the appropriate thing to say was, let's try and win where we can win and recognize we'll lose where we're going to lose.
00:44:06.000For them to go out and be like, let's file specialty lawsuits that bypass elections to bar people we don't like from being in Congress, Let me throw it to Pennsylvania, where we had that lawsuit over universal mail-in voting, which has since been ruled unconstitutional, proving the Republicans in that state right, and simultaneously wrong, because they were the ones who negotiated the deal in the first place.
00:44:27.000It was stupid, but that's besides the point.
00:44:30.000When it went to the lower court judge, the lower court judge said, On the merits of this lawsuit, it seems that universal mail-in voting in Pennsylvania violates the Constitution, and the Republicans will likely win on those merits.
00:45:43.000What they really want is if they can remove Madison Cawthorn off of the ballot on North Carolina, they can remove President Trump and block him from ever being allowed to be on the ballot in North Carolina.
00:45:54.000And if a presidential candidate cannot be on one single state, It's impossible to win the election, and it's all about the electoral college votes.
00:46:11.000That may be the main thing, but look, it's about intimidating members of Congress because that congressional district in North Carolina is going to send a Republican to Congress.
00:46:22.000It's not about them trying to get some leverage in the majority and to get another Democrat there.
00:46:28.000They are trying to silence Madison Cawthorn, and if they can affect that, then they will have intimidated everybody
00:46:35.000else, and now they'll be more cautious and careful about what
00:47:36.000And, uh, well, they, they communicate, I'm saying personally, but you know, the communications with our producer and then he was supposed to come on yesterday and we got word there was a scheduling conflict.
00:47:45.000I mean, this is, this is, this is how it goes with the overwhelming majority of politicians.
00:47:49.000There's very few that actually are principled people who can speak candidly and honestly, and don't have to worry about tripping over their own fake words.
00:47:56.000Who cancelled today that you had to invite Marjorie and I?
00:52:51.000The police have this technology so whenever there's a big protest, you'll see like a plane fly overhead or they set up mobile cell sites and they have a device that just takes everything, all of your text messages, all of your phone calls, everything, they get it all.
00:53:04.000They had those at many of the riots during 2020, and I don't know if it's factual, but I'd heard that they had them on January 6th as well.
00:53:15.000I wouldn't be surprised if the Capitol has them just placed everywhere, and they're constantly spying on and monitoring everyone's cell phones.
00:53:22.000So the first part of your question, you say the police, the local police, we should be on par with the police.
00:53:30.000So let's go back to the Revolutionary War, because that's what was fresh in their minds, right?
00:53:34.000When they wrote these articles, and then later the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
00:53:41.000You would need, the people need to have sufficient arms that, let's say, if 30 to 40 percent, Tim and I were talking about this before the show, if 30 to 40 percent could agree that this was legitimate tyranny and it needed to be thrown off, they need to have sufficient power without asking for extra permission.
00:54:00.000It should be right there and completely available to them in their living room in order to affect the change.
00:54:07.000And you know, Joe Biden, he has that famous quote where he's like, if you want to take on the government, you need, you know, nuclear weapons, which is just not true at all.
00:54:16.000The crazy thing is fighter jets can't occupy street corners.
00:55:35.000But I do think it's an interesting point you made, Thomas, that, you know, individuals should have the ability to be at least on par with the police.
00:55:41.000I mean, the police have a ton of technology and weapons, like LRADs, acoustic weapons.
00:55:45.000They have, they've experimented with light weapons and other things that we don't have access to.
00:55:49.000They also have, I'm pretty sure police have select fire rifles, which are regulated under the NFA, which we, which we have very difficult time getting.
00:55:55.000But if we're talking about, let's say we're going to look at the purpose of the Second Amendment.
00:56:00.000And that's why I wanted to add that portion where it's not just about domestic threats.
00:56:04.000The idea that you have armed militia ready and waiting means that if a foreign adversary comes in, the local farmer is able to come out and fight instead of being disarmed.
00:56:14.000Just in the event that China lands U-boats on the shores of California, and they've got high-grade military tech, directed energy weapons, scud missiles, whatever, well, not scud missiles, but cruise missiles, what do the American people have to resist that as they invade, if they invade?
00:56:36.000I think Putin's calculus in Ukraine is not whether it takes him four hours or four days to establish air dominance over that country, because it's certainly not more than four weeks, right?
00:56:48.000The question for Putin is, once you do that, are your soldiers willing to walk out in the street when somebody in a jogging suit or in their pajamas, some grandma in her pajamas in an apartment building in Kiev decides to blow your brains out, and you're just a soldier from Russia that wants to go home and be with his wife and kids?
00:57:41.000Well, I think one way we can look at this, I know in Georgia right now, we really want constitutional carry.
00:57:46.000That's something that's being pushed very hard.
00:57:49.000I believe the Georgia Senate is about to pass it.
00:57:51.000We're hoping that the House will pass it and our governor will sign it into law.
00:57:55.000But talking about people invading our country, that's happening at the southern border every single day.
00:58:01.000And you talk about farmers, we had a House Freedom Caucus, we had a panel, and we had Border Patrol agents come in, and many different people, and one of them was a retired Border Patrol agent, and he has a family farm that is right there at the border, and he was telling the stories of He hates to leave his house because he'll be leaving his wife and young children there by themselves and they constantly have illegal aliens coming right across their yard, right by the house.
00:58:30.000They have them come up to the door and he feels that he has to be there all of the time to defend his wife and children because he has guns.
00:58:39.000And so when you talk about a country being invaded, we are a country being invaded.
00:58:44.000We're being invaded nonstop every single day at the southern border because the current administration refuses to secure our border.
00:59:00.000Not that they're refusing to secure our borders, but they're aiding and abetting people who are entering illegally.
00:59:05.000The Biden administration has been taking these people and putting them on planes and flying them to other states, when the biggest stories, the biggest scandals was in Republicans in Tennessee got wind that in the dead of night, they were bringing underage undocumented children via military plane into their state without telling them, and then just releasing them into communities.
00:59:38.000Every year we send just millions and billions of dollars in foreign aid to these countries.
00:59:44.000Guatemala, Central America, Mexico, all of these countries, we send this money to these basically these governments that aren't taking care of their people and we don't even know what they're doing with that money.
00:59:57.000I would like to see an account of what are you doing with this money.
01:00:00.000Personally, I'd like to cut it all off and keep all that money back here at home.
01:00:04.000But then these countries, these leaders, these governments who we're paying Send their people, they just let them go and send them up here to invade our country.
01:00:14.000I mean, this is insanity and it should just never be happening.
01:00:16.000Rather than us giving foreign aid to other countries, why doesn't the Federal Reserve just print the money for them and leave us out of it?
01:01:58.000Him and Bernie were working on that, weren't they?
01:02:01.000Interestingly enough, Bernie's had a change of heart.
01:02:03.000Bernie was all for it when he was in the House, and a lot of these senators were for it when they were in the House.
01:02:09.000We've passed it through the House, and then it goes to the Senate, and then people magically had this epiphany when they got to the Senate that we shouldn't audit the Fed.
01:02:17.000Yeah, it's kind of like how he had that magic epiphany that millionaires weren't bad anymore once he became one.
01:03:10.000So now when they call up and they're mad, or when they were calling up and they were mad, I said, well, you know, I've introduced a bill to eliminate her job.
01:03:26.000It's funny how when it's, you know, Donald Trump, they agree with you, but then as soon as you get a Biden, they're like, well, hold on there a minute.
01:03:33.000My problem with repeat with, um, ending the education department is that it ends a lot of people's livelihoods.
01:03:38.000So a lot of people behind the scenes are like, yo, F that we're going to, we're going to stop him.
01:03:42.000But if you can transmute the department into some other useful tool or function, same with the federal reserve.
01:03:47.000I don't want to just want to cancel it.
01:03:49.000I want to create a new economic structure and then, you know, port over.
01:03:52.000But Ian, the other day you were sort of making a point about automation and how it's inevitable and we don't want people to do jobs that aren't useful and if the Department of Education is unnecessary, those people should just be occupying different segments of the economy.
01:04:11.000We could take that money and send it to the states where the states could collect it and it doesn't have to go through federal hands and they could hire more teachers.
01:04:52.000And it's the party of empathy and compassion who cares about the working class that is ensuring that this will always be the state of affairs.
01:05:48.000By solely focusing on the virus, they have neglected suicide, diabetes, heart disease.
01:05:55.000But is this an issue of government failure?
01:05:56.000But is this an issue of government failure?
01:06:02.000Is there a private response that would have been better?
01:06:04.000I think the Department of Justice is one we should seriously look at.
01:06:07.000They have weaponized and gone after parents that are going to school boards demanding about how their children are being educated, how their children are being treated at school.
01:06:18.000The Department of Justice has completely gone way past their bounds.
01:06:23.000You guys ever see that movie with Robin Williams?
01:06:26.000He's the comedian who becomes president by accident or he runs for office?
01:07:07.000We have these tropes that the people want a down-to-earth, funny guy to be the president or the leader, and you end up with a Trump.
01:07:16.000And I'm like, I'm wondering if the people would just accept politicians who are like, once I get in, I'm going to vote to shut it all down.
01:07:22.000You get your money back, you figure out what you want to do with it, and then we're going to shut down all these departments across the board.
01:07:36.000Yeah, I mean, I think, to be honest, that's someone I would vote for.
01:07:40.000Now, maybe I'm a niche voter here, but one thing I really appreciate about both of you is that you're actually talking about reducing the size and scope of government and terminating some of these agencies.
01:07:49.000And interestingly enough, whenever someone who's conservative tries to do that and tries to go back to the way things were, as a conservative is supposed to, they're called an extremist.
01:07:57.000All the establishment conservative is supposed to do is either, A, try to maintain the sides of the government and maintain the institutions which were all set up by big government leftists in years prior.
01:08:10.000And the moment anyone tries to do more than that and reduce the size and scope of government, they're an extremist.
01:08:14.000Can I explain the feedback mechanism that causes that to happen in Congress?
01:08:28.000And the lobbyists who have their interests in front of those committees.
01:08:32.000And so you have to get cheerleaders on K Street who want you to be on that committee and oversee their stuff.
01:08:39.000So you're already self-selected for perpetuating their things.
01:08:43.000So that's why on the Armed Services Committee, even when Republicans get in charge, they're not likely to repeal the vaccine mandate because they are doing, in large part, what the generals do.
01:08:55.000When I was on the Science Committee, NASA.
01:08:58.000The people at NASA write those bills and send them over and say, this is what we want.
01:09:03.000And the congressmen are so busy and can't understand most of it.
01:09:07.000They rubber stamp it and it rolls through.
01:09:09.000And maybe some of it goes to their district because they were chosen to be on that committee because they have something in their district that that committee funds.
01:09:17.000And it's important to their constituents so that once they get on, they want to keep funding it.
01:10:31.000And then if you're like Kentucky or Georgia even, or Florida, you want to have a more conservative, pro-traditional family values, let's say that you want to say no, you can choose to be vaccinated or you can choose to wear a mask, and you want to have a more free government, you should be able to have it.
01:10:55.000We had Ron Perlman, he's the celebrity who played Hellboy, come out recently and say, Republican states should leave and we should leave.
01:11:00.000And this discussion about national divorce has been around for a long time, but what people don't understand is that's exactly what happened in the first Civil War.
01:11:06.000It wasn't like you had all of the states fighting in Congress and then all of a sudden started shooting each other.
01:11:11.000In fact, what actually happened first was several states said, we out.
01:11:16.000And then I actually pulled it up from the Library of Congress.
01:11:19.000In January of 1861, you had 11 states seceding to form the Confederacy.
01:11:24.000And Lincoln hadn't even been inaugurated until March.
01:11:28.000It wasn't until the South started seizing forts that the North said, hey, you can't do this.
01:11:34.000So what would happen in the event of a national divorce?
01:11:36.000Sure, you know, California, Illinois, New York might be like, we're going to Canada or something.
01:11:41.000But then all of a sudden you're going to have one state's got a nuclear arsenal and they're going to say, we're the true government of United States of America and those nukes belong to us.
01:11:51.000And then, uh, one of these states is whichever faction is in control of DC or whatever.
01:13:39.000I think it's naive to believe that the United States is always going to exist in these perfect 50 states under the federal government that keeps expanding and expanding and expanding.
01:13:53.000And I think it's irrational for people to think that Americans are just going to sit idly by while our federal government completely becomes tyrannical and out of control like we've watched it do over the past year.
01:14:13.000But I do truly believe that if this becomes such a broken nation and we have one party that is trying to rule over like the Democrats are trying to rule over Republicans to the point where they are deciding what opinion we are allowed to say whether we can get whether we can stay on social media or we have to leave.
01:14:32.000Because we're spreading what they claim is misinformation if they get to a point where they're saying we're going to control your What you're allowed to do with your body and and what you have to have injected into your body and you have no no choice or say They're coming to the point where they're saying this is what your children have to be taught and parents you have no input or say and you're and your children essentially belong to the state of Like some people are actually saying out loud, and that's happening in the state of California and elsewhere.
01:15:02.000When it gets to that point, you can't just accept or think that Americans are going to accept it.
01:15:09.000That is when it's okay to start saying, you know what?
01:15:12.000Just like in a marriage, I don't like the way you're treating me.
01:15:43.000Whatever the libertarian side of things are, the freedom, which includes a large faction of people, they're basically saying, leave me alone, all or else.
01:15:51.000That doesn't sound like you can have a peaceful divorce.
01:15:53.000I mean, you've got a husband and a wife, and the wife's saying, I want to leave, and the husband's like, don't you dare, or else.
01:15:57.000I mean, you're gonna need more than just a court order.
01:16:00.000You're gonna need police intervention and protections.
01:16:03.000So maybe, you know, when you see people like Ron Perlman, when you see like John Podesta and Donna Brazile in that 2020 scenario they did with the Boston Globe reported on, where they advocated Western states secede from the union if Donald Trump wins the election again, maybe they will be willing to say, fine, we're out.
01:16:20.000I will tell you what I love the most about this trope is that the urban, the city urban liberal types are convinced that they will flourish and the red states and Republicans will suffer.
01:16:31.000And I'm like, Do you know how to take care of chickens, for instance?
01:16:37.000Oh, your avocados from Mexico were shipped in in the middle of winter, and you're having strawberries and avocado... You have strawberry yogurt with your avocados?
01:17:26.000Yeah, well Tim, what you're not factoring in is that all of those blue states have the Reddit moderators who walk dogs for 25 hours a week, and I don't know that we could stand to lose them.
01:17:38.000In all seriousness, one of the issues, and this isn't just a problem with national divorce or the union remaining together or whatever the alternative is here, It's just an issue of the philosophical differences between left and right here, at least as they exist today.
01:17:53.000It's not so much that right-leaning people are all saying, I want to mind my own business, I want you to mind your own business, there's certainly that faction on the right, but even the right-leaning people who would like to see stronger government action tend to be much more in favor of local solutions, whereas with left-wing people, They feel this unquenchable desire to change things unbelievably far away from them that they have no business meddling in, while problems fester all over their own community.
01:18:21.000And part of it is because I believe that those external problems are much more abstract, and these are people who aren't really interested in engaging with reality.
01:18:30.000And it feels really good to say, I'm going to affect change and make the world better without actually doing anything in your own local community.
01:18:37.000And so they end up voting for policies that will affect the way other people live their lives without making any personal sacrifices of their own.
01:18:45.000And so whether we have a national divorce, whether the country stays together, that tendency is not going to change with those people.
01:18:52.000I've got another potential solution than national divorce as a solution to like the corruption, the revolving door of people coming out, people getting bribed.
01:18:58.000Maybe we can set up a direct republic.
01:19:00.000Right now, for a long time I've been thinking, I don't think we need the House of Representatives.
01:19:03.000I used to talk to Mike Gravel, and he wanted to set up what's called the National Initiative.
01:19:07.000The idea that every American citizen has the right to write laws and pass it into the Senate.
01:19:11.000And we would all create our own representative from our state, so we'd have 50 representatives of the National Initiative.
01:19:16.000In his world, we still had the House of Representatives, but I see them getting bribed.
01:19:20.000And it's a vulnerability in the system.
01:19:46.000Let me be fair and condemn my colleagues at the same time.
01:19:52.000You know, I don't blame AOC for what she does.
01:19:56.00095% of my colleagues, I don't question their motives or blame them for their behavior, even though it's wrong most of the time.
01:20:04.000I blame the people that voted for them.
01:20:06.000They're actually responding to the people that elected them.
01:20:12.000You can say all you want about the lobbyists and the money, and I have talked about how the committees are messed up that way, but the individuals who get elected are fairly reflective.
01:20:23.000What bothers me is when they say, when you vote for me, I'm going to say yes to dog walkers, and then they get in there like, I'm going to vote no on that.
01:20:29.000What recourse do I have now as a voter?
01:21:47.000I just want to throw one more thing in here about national divorce.
01:21:50.000I sort of mentioned that even if we break up the federal government, even if all the states go their separate way, one group is still going to have a desire to control.
01:21:57.000And obviously, they couldn't do that to the federal government at that point.
01:21:59.000But when you look at so much of the actual censorship that the American people are facing, it's coming from large corporations.
01:22:05.000And that kind of thing is always going to be weaponized, national divorce or not.
01:22:08.000It would depend on your states and how they're set up.
01:22:11.000But here's a second thing that I think everyone should think about.
01:22:15.000While we're fighting out our differences here in the United States and among one another as Americans, the biggest thing that upsets me is as Americans we aren't coming together as a whole and saying we can put aside our petty differences and our opinions.
01:22:31.000What we should be standing together on is we should be standing against China.
01:22:36.000We should be standing against globalism because if you want to talk about authoritarianism and you want to talk about people that really want to rule over us, China is a direct threat to our entire existence.
01:24:05.000I've thought about this because I feel like a trans partisan some days.
01:24:09.000I don't know which cloak room to go into.
01:24:11.000But because there's only two, and they shoehorn, you know, there's probably six or seven kinds of parties that aren't named in our country right now, but then you shoehorn them into two parties.
01:24:24.000Every committee hearing room has two backrooms.
01:24:27.000You know, you hear about backroom deals?
01:24:29.000Okay, they literally call them backrooms.
01:24:31.000And there are exactly two backrooms with every committee hearing room.
01:25:20.000I'll Let me just elaborate a little bit.
01:25:23.000I mean, you mentioned last time you were here, there's like, what do you say, 10 Democrats on one side, 10 Republicans, and there's some random guy reading, going like, this bill says this, Democrats, bleh, Republicans, bleh, Democrats get it, bang.
01:28:10.000Motion to adjourn is something any member of Congress can step up and make a motion to adjourn.
01:28:16.000That calls for everyone to have to vote to end Congress for the day.
01:28:20.000And I believe oftentimes Congress is so out of control, I love to make a motion to adjourn.
01:28:25.000Well, recently I came down to the House floor and I was going to make a motion to adjourn and Nancy Pelosi found out because I told one of the floor staffers that I was going to do it.
01:28:37.000So she came out and she opened the day, you know, she started the whole day and she looked at me directly and she was talking faster than normal.
01:28:47.000She said, the House will be in recess.
01:28:50.000And she didn't let anyone do their one-minute speeches, and there were several members that were really mad at me because they didn't get to do their one-minute speeches because they knew it was because I was going to do a motion to adjourn.
01:29:03.000I want to let you know that after the first time you came on, I had people messaging me, friends and family, saying, When I heard that Congress doesn't actually go and vote, and Marjorie said she started demanding it and forcing them to do their jobs, people were like, that was the moment I realized she was great and she was amazing and I loved her.
01:29:47.000I think when you tell people that Congress's approval rating is so far in the gutter that they're willing to believe it.
01:29:53.000And then when you mentioned, oh yeah, and we're rotating shifts to make sure they all have to do their jobs, I'm sure people started laughing their asses off when they heard that.
01:30:00.000Well, let's not say who the member is.
01:30:26.000Thinking that they wouldn't have the audacity to come up and yell at a woman for actually just doing her job.
01:30:33.000Well, an individual did, and I'm not going to name him, and he started mansplaining to Marjorie.
01:30:40.000He literally said, he said, I know you're trying really hard to do this job, and I know you care a lot, but you need to be thoughtful about this.
01:30:51.000And after about 60 seconds of that, I couldn't take it anymore.
01:32:03.000But Thomas Massey stood up for you and you want to know why?
01:32:05.000He talked he's talked about he he went and was forcing everyone to come back to Washington when on the biggest spending bill in this pandemic that in our nation's history and he was saying our constitution is still intact.
01:32:22.000This is so important we have to vote on this and you wouldn't have believed what he had to go through.
01:32:27.000I mean I love President Trump but he he had to deal with the phone calls and the tweets and everyone mad and angry at him and then he had his colleagues mad and angry at him and everyone called him non-stop trying to talk him out of it and he still stood firm and he stood firm and he made sure our Constitution stayed intact and this is such an incredible story.
01:32:49.000I truly think it's an important part of our history I'll be honest, I think I was even critical.
01:32:54.000this COVID-19 bio weapon, I'll say that I think it's that and we have to prove it,
01:32:59.000but during this what was happening to our country, we had one member of
01:33:03.000Congress willing to make sure that our Constitution stood in this
01:33:07.000historic time. I'll be honest, I think I was even critical.
01:33:10.000I think at the time my reaction was like now's not the time for grandstanding
01:33:14.000when we're being shut down and we're in desperate need of aid and relief and we
01:33:41.000It's been updated, but George W. Bush signed into an executive order called National Security Presidential Directive 51, which unilaterally grants the executive branch the right in any disaster to reform the government under one branch, under the executive branch, where they would have a national continuity coordinator who would control the other branches effectively.
01:34:02.000And their justification is a mass casualty event anywhere in the world, a financial disaster anywhere in the world.
01:34:09.000It's been updated since then and expanded, but it's never been tested because it's an executive decree.
01:34:14.000So we'll see how that could ever play out if it could.
01:34:19.000You just said that you believe that COVID is a bioweapon.
01:34:22.000It's interesting because according to Dr. Francis Boyle, who drafted the American implementation of the International Bioweapons Convention, any disease or virus created through gain-of-function research is a de facto bioweapon.
01:34:38.000It doesn't have to have been made with the intent necessarily of being a bioweapon.
01:34:42.000The reason this is so easy to get fuzzy on and why they can deny that it is one is because They can argue, well, yes, we used gain-of-function research to create this virus, but we were only making it because if someone else made the same virus, we would want to have it first so we could know how to cure it.
01:34:59.000But that's like saying, well, my gun isn't a weapon because the reason I have it is just to study it, take it apart, clean it.

01:36:04.000We're going to have a members-only segment coming up at about 11pm over at TimCast.com.
01:36:08.000You're not going to want to miss that.
01:36:19.000He says, Please ask Marjorie Taylor Greene what she thinks about Stacey Abrams saying people complained about her because it was Black History Month.
01:36:26.000I've seen racism in my life, but whining is not a solution.
01:36:42.000No, what she had to do, what she was doing sitting on the floor, sitting there as a high-risk person with COVID-19 and her obesity, unmasked while children are being forced to wear masks and
01:38:37.000You know, if we tried to change one penny, let's say the total of it was a certain number, it's impossible to change a penny because the agreement has already been made between parties that aren't voting on it.
01:38:49.000And if we were to actually change it, they'd have to go back in that room with the secret folks.
01:38:56.000Well, our leadership doesn't want it to change.
01:38:58.000They don't want the government to shut down.
01:39:00.000They don't want to get blamed for that.
01:40:10.000And I'll roll call every single one of them.
01:40:11.000And that way, if one of them would have had gain of function in it and you left it out, and then you don't get into this grudge match with the president where the government shuts down, the president doesn't have anything to sign that has it in there.
01:40:26.000You don't even give him that option to fund those things you don't want.
01:42:39.000So you have to get a majority of those present and voting.
01:42:43.000So let's say the Freedom Caucus peeled off.
01:42:45.000Let's say we had a majority of 15, 15 more Republicans than Democrats, and 20 Republicans refused to vote for the conference selection that the GOP had selected.
01:43:11.000By the way, I'm explaining this. I'm not advocating for it.
01:43:14.000I'm telling you, I led two coups against Boehner, co-led, was a willing but stupid participant in the first coup, never voted for Paul Ryan, but here's what I think the problem is.
01:44:12.000Because right now, if I have a bill, I cannot get it to the floor for a vote unless I have 218 members of Congress sign For it to be voted on.
01:44:25.000We got to read more, but I do want to add, I hope that when it comes to the Omnibus Bill, y'all just slip in abolishing the NFA and the ATF.
01:45:20.000I've already signed the term limits pledge, but I'm not going to term limit myself unless there was an actual law passed.
01:45:28.000I don't want to see what I consider to be the good guys leave on their own when the bad guys are definitely not going to leave and have no intention to do so.
01:45:37.000That's always the big issue, because whenever I talk about term limits, I'm like, didn't we all like Ron Paul being in for as long as he was in?
01:46:06.000People, they raise a lot of money, they push this issue, they'd be a lot better off spending their time trying to fix the broken process in Congress.
01:46:14.000Because even, and here's a question I ask.
01:47:05.000I think it's because we didn't have the internet when we were growing up.
01:47:08.000So like a lot of Gen Xers don't really understand it.
01:47:10.000Like Alex Cortez, she's like, does Twitter and gets like 30 million whatever because she's like young millennial, knows the internet so well and knows how to work the algorithm.
01:47:20.000And so it looks like people that aren't... Well, Twitter probably boosts her, whereas somebody like me, Twitter's like, no.
01:47:26.000I also think it's sort of a truism that the rebels are always on the college campuses, the revolutionaries, and the old people vote.
01:47:35.000And maybe Gen Xers, maybe we're just between the college revolutionaries and the old people who vote.
01:48:16.000So I don't think there should be a scoring system.
01:48:18.000And everything's set up to hurt small businesses, right?
01:48:22.000If you're a big corporation, it is, oh gosh, everything goes your way.
01:48:26.000But if you're a small business, if you're the little guy, you're fighting so many things, and so many regulations, and so many different taxes, and you're a small shop, you're a small operation, You might be a mom and pop store or a single mom just trying to run your little business and you don't have the big accounting department and you don't have the attorneys over here to help you with all these issues.
01:48:45.000And then when you come to an ESG issue, it's just completely, it's another whole level that makes it impossible to compete.
01:48:52.000And these are the type of regulations and ridiculous things we have to stop and repeal and make sure that we allow small businesses to be able to compete.
01:50:12.000You know, the Constitution pretty clearly says that the state legislatures decide.
01:50:17.000And so I said, before we got to the vote, many weeks before, I said, if a state legislature tells me that their authority was usurped, If a majority of either branch of their state government says that, then I can't certify their electors.
01:50:37.000But if they won't tell me that their authority was usurped, Then maybe they wanted it to be done that way and maybe they would have voted it that way.
01:50:47.000If you leave $10 on the table and somebody picks it up and walks off with it and you're okay with it, did they steal it?
01:50:53.000This is something important people need to understand.
01:50:56.000Not to derail too much, but just the issues we've been having legally.
01:51:00.000There are a lot of people that want us to cut slack on, you know, people who have Let's just say violated our security, but we literally can't.
01:51:46.000Listen, if you claim that you don't allow strangers to come to your property, but then some of them you do, a judge is going to look at you and be like, what's the reason for your selective enforcement?
01:51:56.000I feel like people get into power and then they're like, I don't want to do it, but I'm
01:52:44.000What Republicans need to understand, and I feel like this is lost on so many people, the reason universal mail-in voting is so advantageous to Democrats is because Democrats live in dense urban populations where two activists can hit a thousand doors in a day, whereas for Republicans in more rural areas, you're driving miles to each house.
01:53:39.000But the other thing about objecting, I objected on January 6th, and I would do it again.
01:53:43.000And the reason why I believe it was so important to do it is because there were thousands of people that signed their name at risk of perjuring themselves in a court of law, saying that they had witnessed voter fraud.
01:53:55.000And those affidavits, I believed, were very important.
01:53:59.000And as a representative, an elective representative of the people in my district, I felt like I needed to represent what they were saying and they're, at that time, were not able to prove what they were saying in court.
01:54:14.000But, you know, that's the great thing about, like, Thomas and I, we may not have done the same thing on January 6th, and he didn't do anything wrong.
01:54:22.000And he has always supported President Trump and definitely Actually, probably supported Trump in many ways that people didn't support President Trump.
01:54:32.000I think that's one of the things that a lot of people don't understand.
01:54:36.000But as far as objecting, I just, I think our election system is, we, it is so valuable and we have to make sure that it's always protected.
01:54:44.000Do you know the moment that it was certain all 50 states would do mail-in ballots was on March 27th, 2020, when Congress said it's too dangerous for us to show up and vote.
01:54:54.000So we're going to do all this by remote control.
01:54:57.000And Republicans agreed, except for me.
01:55:01.000And I said, no, you've got to show up and vote.
01:55:04.000Well, you had the president and a majority of Republicans in Congress arguing it was too dangerous for congressmen who have good health care and security.
01:55:13.000It was too dangerous for them to actually show up and vote.
01:55:15.000So then how do you then make the argument that everybody else should show up and vote?
01:55:18.000It's pretty hard to get that high ground.
01:56:44.000He says, Tim, if you're okay with citizens owning all forms of arms, how do you keep people from turning the country into an actual war zone?
01:56:51.000What punishments do you put in place for those who use these weapons on each other?
01:56:55.000Well, the same, you know, we've had a very hard time stopping American citizens from shooting each other in mass warfare.
01:57:49.000My point is not that cars are intentional weapons.
01:57:53.000My point is that people drive around multi-ton objects all day every day and I'm not worried about them ramming into each other and having destruction derbies in parking lots or anything like that.
01:58:03.000And when you actually live in a state where everybody's armed all the time, you never ask yourself, well, gee, I was walking around in West Virginia and nobody was shooting anybody else.
01:58:34.000We also have several examples in the last several years where that's not happened.
01:58:37.000Every state where they have passed constitutional carry and by the way that means you can carry a firearm without asking the government's permission, without going through training, without getting a photo ID, paying taxes.
01:58:50.000Every state, the prediction has been it'll be the Wild West.
01:58:53.000You're trying to turn West Virginia into the Wild West.
01:58:56.000You're trying to turn Kentucky into the Wild West.
01:59:09.000Exactly, and right now we have record high crime and that's why owning a gun is so important.
01:59:15.000That's why constitutional carry is so important.
01:59:17.000That's why Georgia needs to pass it and if we don't get it passed, gun owners are going to be so angry in Georgia if we don't get constitutional carry.
01:59:25.000Because we're at the threat of losing a Republican governor and having Stacey Abrams, who literally in her announcement speech, that's what she talked about.
01:59:44.000We'll do one more super chip before we go to the member segment.
01:59:47.000We have Beastly who says, question for Marjorie.
01:59:50.000You say you have a national divorce and we need to stand against China.
01:59:53.000How is that possible with a weaker America suffering from CCP subversion?
01:59:57.000Well, I talked about the national divorce as one option that hopefully we don't have to do, but we may end up having to be there because Democrats and their authoritarian policies and controls may force us to that point.
02:00:12.000But I said we also need to look towards each other and put aside our differences and realize that China is our real enemy.
02:00:18.000What I was getting is that it was worrying.
02:00:38.000So I would like, we'll talk about some, here's what we're going to do.
02:00:42.000We're going to go start recording our Uncensored Members Only segment, and I want to talk about the CDC and I want to talk about the election things that YouTube makes it very difficult to have honest conversations about.
02:00:53.000Unfortunately, that's the reality, and we try our best to make sure those conversations can still get out, so we're going to have those conversations.
02:00:59.000So go to TimCast.com, become a member.
02:01:01.000Help support the show, smash the like button, subscribe.
02:01:04.000We're going to have that episode, that member segment, up around 11 or so PM, so you don't want to miss it at TimCast.com.
02:01:09.000You can follow me at TimCast and you can follow the show at TimCast IRL.
02:02:39.000I have a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes.
02:02:41.000We upload political satire and political cartoons every single week, sometimes twice a week.
02:02:45.000We have one coming out tomorrow about the feds that I think y'all will enjoy.
02:02:49.000I want to know when you're doing that Fauci YouTube one.
02:02:52.000So that's going to be for behind the paywall, because everything we say in that... So we're working on a paywall right now, basically, where we're going to put some exclusive cartoons up.
02:02:59.000It won't take away from the weekly uploads.
02:03:01.000We'll still be putting out just as much content, but there will also be extra stuff.
02:03:05.000And Tim and I recorded this very funny Fauci bit, which will never ever be allowed on YouTube.
02:03:12.000It would get my channel banned instantly.
02:03:33.000I hope you guys come back and tell us more because I have a lot more questions and I feel like we at least nailed like a third of like the stuff I would I would have loved to have talked about tonight.
