The FBI raid on Mike Lindell, the rail workers strike on Friday, and who was at the secret meeting on the golf course with Trump? All that and more on this week s episode of the Show!
00:01:09.00040 subpoenas sent to Trump allies and then we get the Mike Lindell thing.
00:01:11.000And so we're going to have to talk about that and get into great detail about what's happening at the highest levels of politics in this country.
00:01:16.000And we have another funny story that we talked about the other day having to do with Trump and a secret meeting.
00:01:22.000And who was at that secret meeting on the golf course with Null Golf Clubs?
00:01:26.000And we can now formally debunk all of the insane lies that they pushed about this story.
00:01:32.000And then the big news is that The railway, the rail workers are set to strike on Friday unless a deal gets approved at the last minute.
00:01:41.000But one of the unions, a couple of, I think maybe the biggest, one of the biggest, has rejected the deal that Biden tried brokering.
00:01:48.000If this strike happens, it is going to impact every level.
00:01:51.000I mean, long-term trains for transport Amtrak is getting, they're shutting those down.
00:01:56.000We're going to see $2 billion in economic damage per day.
00:01:59.000And this means your goods, Stuff you might find at the store won't be there, or at least it'll be delayed.
00:02:04.000Like, you know, nothing will happen for a few weeks, but then eventually you'll stop seeing the things you like and the prices are going to start going up.
00:02:10.000And it is an apocalyptic scenario for Democrats right before the midterms, because even if it's not Joe Biden's fault, and the Democrats are trying to do a lot to stop this strike from happening, voters are just going to say, the economy's bad, I'm going to vote for the other guy.
00:02:24.000So we will get into all of that, but before we do, my friends, head over to strongerbonesandlife.com.

00:07:02.000Documents posted by Lindell reveal the reported reasoning.
00:07:05.000With a page titled, items to be seized, reading that the physical cellular telephone assigned number redacted.
00:07:12.000Lindell cell phone and all records and information on the Lindell cell phone that constitutes fruits evidence or instrument instrumentalities of identity theft as well as intentional damage to a protected computer and or a conspiracy to commit identity theft and or to cause intentional damage to a protected computer.
00:08:23.000Everybody knows who he is because he's been on TV for so long.
00:08:26.000But I will tell you that this actually really happened, so I don't want people thinking that I really am an FBI informant.
00:08:35.000I was talking to him just in the last, I don't know, about a week ago.
00:08:39.000And I was laughing because I was actually just trying to get some pointers on True Social because we're beginning advertising.
00:08:46.000And I asked him, you know, because he always wants to talk about election issues, which is fine.
00:08:52.000I mean, he's very passionate about it.
00:08:54.000And we were talking about the January 6th Commission and, you know, how, you know, I had said, look, what I've said from the very beginning of that is, is that, you know, writing's not okay, breaking in the Capitol's not okay, but where's the 14,000 hours of videotape?
00:09:08.000And he tells me, you know, that I've never gotten, this is what Mike Liddell told me just a week ago, and I'm paraphrasing, but I've never been contacted by anyone.
00:09:20.000For any of this, you know, for all the stuff that he said out there.
00:09:24.000So, just he shouldn't have went to that Hardee's I guess.
00:09:29.000Hardee's is a bad place to go for that.
00:09:31.000Well, Tim, trying to answer your question here, the first thing I thought about was in 2017 on MSNBC, Chuck Schumer went on national television and said that the intelligence agencies have, quote, six waves from Sunday to get back at you.
00:09:45.000And he was hinting at the intelligence agencies doing a revenge plot against Donald Trump.
00:09:50.000Do you think there's some merit to this, especially from your information from the inside that there that this is the intelligence agencies hitting back against Trump with the battles that were happening within the White House?
00:10:00.000Well, they were already weaponized before that.
00:10:03.000So when Schumer says that, remember, so he probably already knows because it was The Democratic Party Clinton campaign that paid for this whole operation that probably started in 2015.
00:10:14.000So Schumer probably already knows when he makes that very infamous statement that, you know, of course, is seen by 30, 40% of the country, but the rest of the country doesn't know it exists.
00:10:26.000Also, I would just, what are the things that the FBI has chosen not to do?
00:10:30.000I mean, they're looking at identity theft and putting resources into that when they didn't touch the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:10:38.000They didn't look at the thousands of assaults on federal officers in Portland and other places during 2020.
00:10:44.000They pulled back from investigating Chinese financial crimes and ripping off billions of dollars from American individual investors.
00:11:58.000I mean, if you look at a lot of the people, it's bipartisan when it comes to the The larger trafficking and extortion operation that was pretty much run by Epstein.
00:12:06.000A lot of Republicans, a lot of Democrats, I mean, a lot of people intricately involved in our current political system.
00:12:12.000Even Trump appointees that had to resign because of them giving the sweetheart deal to, of course, Epstein and letting him get away for horrible, horrible crimes.
00:12:23.000And the FBI also, most notably, was interviewing victims of his all the way in the 90s.
00:12:28.000And the FBI chose to ignore the victims, not help the victims that were coming forward as police officers, federal agents, prosecutors were all looking away and essentially aiding and abetting into what was hurting children in unspeakable ways that we can't even describe here on this broadcast.
00:13:31.000We thought, at least when we unraveled the Russia hoax at the very beginning, so we're talking 2017 and 18, we thought at that point that we had been able to effectively kind of solder the wound, stop the bleeding, you know, the molar nonsense with His top lawyer, Andrew Wiseman.
00:13:56.000We thought, okay, we stopped all that.
00:14:16.000But clearly what has happened is that there has been a A Gestapo-like get-Trump crew that's been created within the National Security Division of the Department of Justice and the FBI.
00:14:31.000And look, we kind of know that now because if you were involved in the Russia hoax, the pre-planning and the implementation in 2015 and 2016, you now got a promotion and you're at the top levels of the Department of Justice right now.
00:14:45.000And then, you know, this whole T-Boo guy that came out that was escorted out a couple weeks ago, FBI guy, you know, what they're doing is they're running it with a national security division.
00:14:55.000And this is important for the audience to know.
00:14:58.000There's a division in there called counterintelligence.
00:15:01.000And the way the rules and the regs work is within counterintelligence, they're able to wall everything, everybody off within the FBI, DHA said, Oh, counterintelligence investigation can't talk about, you know, and that's how they effectively hid a lot of this from us, which we'll probably get into this later.
00:15:16.000But that's why and why I made the joke at the outset.
00:15:20.000This is why they brought Danchenko, who was the fake, phony Russian source for the dossier.
00:15:26.000It's why the FBI brought him in, was to hide him from Congress, hide him from our investigation.
00:15:32.000You know what your biggest challenge is?
00:15:34.000There is so much to understand, to unravel everything that's happening.
00:15:39.000That the average person can't absorb it in a few minutes.
00:16:02.000And it's important to understand, it's not just the FBI here, as you mentioned, but the FBI also influencing the corporate media and large institutions like Wikipedia and the Washington Post that were playing defense for the intelligence agencies regurgitating everything they were saying, criticizing, attacking you for calling out the clear lies, clearing out... and then also journalists.
00:16:22.000I was listed on a Washington Post uh story as fake russian news because i didn't believe i wanted to see evidence of this russian collusion i said okay if you think that there was russian collusion let's let's present us with some evidence but we can't believe the intelligence agencies since of course they lie routinely to the american people they lied about wmds they lied about so many different things that i could mention here iran contra we could actually keep going on and on and on
00:16:46.000And I was like, there's no reason to believe these guys.
00:16:48.000Because of that, I was put on the list, I was ostracized, and I was depersoned from Wikipedia for even asking questions.
00:16:53.000Well, now what they've become very good at is they just control the whole process.
00:16:57.000So, you know, not too far away from here, in, you know, in the Washington, D.C.
00:17:01.000Beltway, it's become bigger and bigger and bigger.
00:17:03.000And Colonel Harvey can tell you that that's been probably the biggest downfall.
00:17:08.000We created this new superstructure after 9-11.
00:17:12.000We brought a lot more bureaucracy and a lot more bureaucrats and we're so much less focused on actually finding and taking care of hard targets that are definitely a danger to the United States.
00:17:25.000And everything can now be manipulated.
00:17:27.000Because remember the quick answer for everything now is?
00:17:30.000We're going to have a DNI do a report.
00:17:32.000Well, of course, if it's a report that supports the Democrats or the left, it always comes out exactly the way that they want it to come out.
00:17:39.000And of course, if it's a report that actually goes after the Democrats for their, you know, whatever it may be, like for the Rush Oaks, for example, it took the inspector general two years to come out with this.
00:17:53.000And now Durham's had two indictments and now we're still waiting.
00:17:57.000Yeah, there was a New York Times article about that today saying that the Durham report is not going to lead to anything substantial.
00:18:02.000Do you think the New York Times perspective on it is correct, or would you question that new article that just came out?
00:18:08.000I don't know if you're aware of the article.
00:18:10.000Well, I don't read fake news, and so I actually don't even push the websites, except if they attack me, then I'll evaluate it and see what it is.
00:18:20.000But look, I've actually, and Colonel Harvey maybe has a different opinion than me, but I've actually been very supportive of the Durham investigation because it's the only investigation I've seen in my entire two decades that I spent in Washington with zero leaks.
00:18:37.000And that gives me quite a bit of confidence and he's got to a lot of information that we didn't even get to.
00:18:43.000One of the things, the New York Times gets its information from FBI sources.
00:18:49.000The FBI uses the New York Times, Washington Post, they put a story out there, and then they use that story in the New York Times to start an investigation.
00:19:10.000I'm interested to see what happens with the Durham investigation.
00:19:12.000But I got to be honest, it's taken so long.
00:19:14.000We haven't seen a whole lot that I don't know.
00:19:16.000I don't have a lot of faith, but I wonder if maybe the reason we're seeing them go so heavily now after Trump allies, these 40 subpoenas, could it be because they're worried they're running out of time?
00:19:27.000Well, look, if you want to, let's talk about the Mar-a-Lago raid, because, you know, all roads, you can, you know, keep it simple.
00:19:34.000All roads basically lead back to Russiagate.
00:19:37.000I mean, pretty much all roads lead to Russiagate, right?
00:19:39.000Even the impeachment hoax on Ukraine was still Russiagate, same players.
00:19:46.000So, you've had Kash Patel on the show before.
00:19:50.000So, the one thing that we learned throughout our investigation is that the FBI, DOJ, they love to use fake news to go into their affidavits, into their warrants.
00:20:02.000Well, the first thing I noticed when I read that affidavit, and the Inspector General has said you shouldn't do it, and then when they released the warrant and the affidavit, There was two stories, essentially.
00:20:14.000The only thing unredacted were two news stories.
00:20:18.000Now, I've never seen FBI, DOJ, in all my time, ever use a Breitbart story.
00:20:23.000Because they consider Breitbart to be fake news.
00:20:25.000But for the first time in my life, they used Breitbart.
00:20:47.000We don't see everything below it, but what Cash is clearly talking about there is he's talking about the documents that I've seen, Derek's seen, we've all seen.
00:20:57.000We didn't see them at Mar-a-Lago, we saw them when we were in Congress, or at the White House.
00:21:23.000You know, I worry that Durham is going after people like Deschenko and Clinesmith for false document issues, but he's not going to go after the root of the problem, which is in the FBI itself.
00:22:33.000The fast food chain Hardee's seized on being included in the headlines about alleged confiscation of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's cell phone, with an ad promoting something the bombastic businessman might enjoy.
00:22:47.000Now that you know we exist, you should really try our pillowy biscuits.
00:22:50.000Lindell, a spirited conspiracy theorist who has worked tirelessly, blah blah blah.
00:22:54.000The point here is, we're at the point where fast food chains are making memes of the collapse of our country to sell fast food.
00:23:04.000Those biscuits are a little tasteless, in my opinion.
00:23:09.000But I make jokes, references to gulags, just kind of being sensationalistic and hyperbolic.
00:23:16.000I mean, where do you see the road ending with this?
00:23:19.000Because we see the groundwork being laid down by Hillary Clinton, by Joe Biden, by Kamala Harris, by Congressman Tim Ryan today, saying very hyperbolic statements against, you know, the MAGA Republicans.
00:23:34.000Because I think they just started, and I think they're just laying down the groundwork for something very serious that could be very dangerous for everyone.
00:23:40.000The White House spokesperson said that if you disagree with them, you're an extremist.
00:23:46.000And they are trying to criminalize all political disagreement.
00:23:51.000Look, I'm a happy warrior, and so I don't want us to all go out and jump out of the building here.
00:24:01.000I just think that this is, but it is very, very serious, without question.
00:24:06.000We are at a time where we've never been in this country, and I think if people don't take it seriously, which I think they are across the country, but I can guarantee you the beltway Doesn't understand what's going on.
00:24:18.000They don't understand the anger when you get out to this.
00:24:21.000I mean, look, you're not very far outside of the swamp.
00:24:25.000And you can tell, you know, people, I was at an event earlier tonight.
00:25:05.000I want to believe in the constitution.
00:25:07.000I want to, but you know, clearly, you know, look, I left Congress, you know, not because I, you know, I needed a new job and Trump didn't need a new company, but it's pretty bad when I got to leave Congress solely because I believe that the communications platforms are so broken that we have no way to get our message out.
00:25:25.000We can't even communicate with one another and we're in the middle of a propaganda war that's destroying this country where it's pushing city-states getting moving hard left and
00:25:34.000Everybody else moving hard right and that heart in the end and when I say hard right meaning, you know conservative
00:25:41.000Where they can't even communicate with one another and we're constantly dealing with with fake news and censorship
00:25:47.000I don't even think it's moving hard, right?
00:25:49.000I mean, my politics are basically in the same spot they've always been, except on Second Amendment.
00:25:55.000I think for a lot of people, especially people in my situation, it's that the left has just continually gone further and further left.
00:26:02.000Elon Musk posted that meme, you saw it, I'd imagine, where, do you see this one?
00:26:05.000It's like left and right, and then years later, left and move, but he's staying in the same spot and it's just moving further and further left.
00:26:12.000The left likes to use that and say, see, this proves it.
00:26:14.000If you still believe the same things you did 10 years ago, you are conservative.
00:26:51.000And even after all of that, the Covington Catholic kids, even after all of that is debunked and the media is talking, they still believe it.
00:26:59.000They still believe the lies every day.
00:27:02.000And they're full of anger is the crazy thing.
00:27:05.000The messages I see on Facebook, you know, there's a few people I've known my whole life who still, they're very liberal, they're very anti-Trump, but they still talk to me and they still listen to me and they go, oh, I didn't know that, good friends.
00:27:16.000But I know some people that, They've gone nuts and I'm wondering if you guys have experienced the same thing like people who have become totally just I don't even want to say Trump derangement.
00:27:25.000It's like It's it's right-wing derangement, but it's not even that it's if you're outside of the cult They just believe whatever they're told by the media.
00:27:36.000Yeah, what maybe a good example for you is this I So when I went, when I was elected to Congress 2002, Bernie Sanders was in the House of Representatives.
00:27:47.000A lot of people forgot that, that he was actually a member of the House for a very long time.
00:27:52.000And I remember a lot of the first votes, I'd look up on the screen, you know, there's always a lot of votes and, you know, a lot of them are a lot of bills that get through.
00:28:02.000They don't always become law, but they're, you know, sometimes they're just messaging bills.
00:28:06.000But you would have something like, you know, baseball and apple pie, some feel good thing.
00:28:11.000And you'd look up on the screen and there'd be like 20 no votes.
00:28:17.000And it would be Bernie Sanders and this hard left wing caucus.
00:28:22.000And it was constantly, they were like, you know, equivalent of backbenchers, like you would see in a parliamentary system where they just didn't have any friends.
00:28:33.000Because at that point, I had friends on the other side of the aisle, people that I would talk to, and they're like, oh, that's the crazy people, you know?
00:29:29.000It had to be some kind of, you know, there's got to be some kind of antitrust action or something to stop this kind of collusion in the market.
00:29:36.000Yeah, but then they went to court, and I don't know where those cases are now.
00:29:39.000You have to go, in many cases, they go to court in their home court.
00:29:43.000So even the court, this has even reached the courts.
00:29:45.000But where's the DOJ and the FBI investigating this and subpoenaing and going in and confiscating
00:29:53.000cell phones and computers and laptops, okay, to build a case to look for the crime, to
00:31:37.000They've recruited and they promoted and retained people that fit a political narrative that come from a certain type of school, that think a certain way, that reflect the woke agenda.
00:31:47.000And in this last Congress, we saw the Democrats trying to push that type of woke recruitment and ideological perspective throughout more of the
00:32:14.000and burrow myself in, get connected, go to the Brookings Institute, write reports, go work for Congress, become a lobbyist, and always working.
00:32:22.000I mean, Republicans, for the most part, don't want to do that, right?
00:32:26.000They want to live in rural Maryland, right?
00:32:29.000Or they want to live in, you know, rural America.
00:32:32.000But just back to the question, who has more power and influence?
00:32:36.000Well, I would say they're all one, I guess is the short answer.
00:32:44.000That's something I've been saying for years now, and a lot of people don't understand that there really isn't much of a difference when it comes to the decisions, the major ones that they make.
00:32:50.000Well, now we're getting evidence in these lawsuits that the federal government was instructing, directing big tech to censor people they didn't like.
00:33:17.000I think you guys, I might've heard you guys talking about this a bit, but there's some, and this sounds ridiculous because, you know, you know, but I'm a, you know, guy that's been in political business and now, and now, uh, you know, running through social.
00:33:29.000So, I'm not attuned to this stuff like you guys are, but I had never heard of this guy named Andrew Tate, okay?
00:34:27.000Donald Trump having a secret meeting on a golf course with no golf clubs?
00:34:31.000I wonder who was at the secret meeting?
00:34:33.000Well, Newsweek reports something about rumors.
00:34:36.000That those who joined Trump at the course, of course, were minority leader Kevin McCarthy of Fox News, Sean Hannity, and former congressman-turned-CEO of Truth Social, Devin Nunes.
00:35:05.000He's photographed with McCarthy, Nunes, Eric, trustee, Hannity, and others standing in the rain on a golf course with no clubs and no golf shoes.
00:35:12.000Apparently that tweet was enough to get Raw Story to report that it was a fact and for Newsweek to run the rumor that these people were there.
00:35:19.000This would have to mean Mr. Nunes, that you can, in fact, teleport.
00:36:04.000All of a sudden, my phone blows up with these stories.
00:36:07.000And then I'm like, what in the hell is this?
00:36:10.000And then I'm reading, and I don't even know what the hell's going on, and I'm trying to get, you know, I'm trying to get on, and then I get on the airplane, and then I fly, and then I don't get into Washington until, like, it was actually 2.30 when I landed, a.m.
00:36:22.000And then the next morning, my phone is blowing up.
00:36:35.000Well, people need to understand that the issue is if you jumped from Dallas to DC, then the paladins would track you down, tracing your jump scar.
00:36:44.000And, you know, it'd be very dangerous for jumpers like Devin.
00:39:24.000A judge ultimately got transferred, the case got, long story, but it got transferred to New York, and a New York judge, Democrat-appointed judge, said for the first time that I know of, that California law applies to me, even though I was a federal official chairman of the House Intelligence Committee in Washington, but that's how they get out of it.
00:39:42.000It's not just that, it's that the story is that Giuliani Associate is willing to tell Congress that you did this.
00:39:49.000And they're like, well, that's a factual statement.
00:39:56.000You'll get a story and it'll say, source close to Nancy Pelosi's office claims that, you know, she's planning to meet with Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump or something.
00:40:05.000And then people go, oh wow, oh wow, a source close to her office, and the source close to her office is a homeless guy sleeping in the alley.
00:41:00.000And they knew, so when you talk about teleporting, we were in, we were actually, it's kind of funny, and we later were able to say this because I filed it in court, we were actually in Libya.
00:41:13.000So what must have happened is they leaked that they knew we were on international travel because we were traveling on behalf of the government, and we were the first delegation.
00:41:42.000I don't even remember if they did or not.
00:41:43.000I think they asked for an interview, but what I do after 17...
00:41:47.000After 2017, when they accused me of being a Russian agent, like if you accuse me of being a Russian agent, until you retract that story, I don't talk to you.
00:42:25.000He released a bunch of my little phone numbers, yeah.
00:42:27.000So, and you know, we couldn't, you know, if you call back in the day, and this is how all members of Congress, I think if they're doing their job, if somebody calls in, like if you were to call in to your congressman's office today, you know, hopefully you would get a call back within two or three days.
00:42:42.000And so the poor, so in this case, poor Harvey was, you know, this guy calls in, I tell Harvey to call the guy.
00:42:49.000And then all of a sudden, you know, these phone records are released as if Harvey's now done something bad because he's just calling somebody back that had information that said was relevant.
00:44:55.000So in 2000, in the in the spring of 2016, and just for your time, the time reference, this is when the Obama Biden administration are working with the Clinton campaign that begin investigating Trump and Republicans to tie them to Russia.
00:45:12.000But in the spring of 2016, I went out and made, which is a really important statement at the time, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said, look, the biggest intelligence failure since 9-11 is our failure to understand Putin's plans and intentions.
00:45:27.000So this is the biggest intelligence failure since then.
00:45:29.000So I say that at the same time that they are painting us with being some kind of Russian
00:45:50.000Well, Putin was building his sphere of influence and alliance with the Syrian government.
00:45:54.000But when Barack Obama was in power, there was even serious talks of Barack Obama potentially launching an invasion or an attack on Syria.
00:46:01.000And then it was General Flynn that came out and actually whistleblowed and talked about how the United States was funding radical Islamists inside of that region.
00:46:09.000And I think there's been a massive payback against him for that.
00:46:13.000So there's a lot of also complicated geopolitical maneuvers in all of this.
00:46:18.000If you remember, I remember the Russians also intervened and sent their battleships to prevent U.S.
00:46:23.000warships from being off the coast of Syria from potentially launching more missile strikes.
00:47:07.000I love the classification narrative they're doing now because the implication is the President doesn't have the ability to declassify documents unilaterally.
00:47:16.000And the point I make is imagine the President of the United States meeting with the President of Russia I wish I could, but I don't have the ability to classify what our weapons are, so I can't tell you it's classified, sorry.
00:47:30.000Maybe there's some higher authority in the United States that can tell me what I'm allowed to tell you, and then we'll negotiate.
00:48:17.000And remember, Trump is under investigation by Mueller, the Mueller witch hunt crew.
00:48:22.000So I mean, they've got an army of G-men, DOJ With a special counsel authority.
00:48:29.000I'm sitting there in Congress under investigation because they said I was leaking intelligence.
00:48:35.000It took us that long to get that information out to the public.
00:48:38.000And if you go back in time, if you remember that February timeframe of 2018, remember they said, people are going to die if Nunes releases this memo.
00:49:57.000But that's what shows you he's a useful idiot.
00:50:00.000Those Ukrainians, they thought, here's a dumbass that we can bribe.
00:50:03.000Let's tell him that we want him to be the defense minister.
00:50:06.000So what do you guys think about the Joe Biden, you know, if the prosecutor's not fired, that whole thing?
00:50:14.000I mean, do you guys know stuff that we don't?
00:50:16.000I've done quite a bit of research into the whole Ukrainegate scandal, and it really does seem like right now, especially with Hunter Biden's laptop, That Joe Biden's involved in illicit business dealings.
00:50:28.000That he's using his son as a proxy, that's what it seems like.
00:50:31.000And I have to wonder now, with the billions that are being dumped into Ukraine, is this Joe Biden paying good on his debts?
00:50:38.000I knew you were a Russian asset, that's why I was asking.
00:50:43.000I love, just real quick, I love how Politico reported, I think it was in early 2017, that Ukrainian officials colluded to help the Democrats win the election, were embarrassed and scrambling now that Donald Trump won.
00:50:54.000And then a few years later, one of their reporters said, actually that story was Russian disinformation, yet they still haven't retracted the initial report.
00:51:01.000How can your outlet simultaneously report both things?
00:51:11.000I'd just like to run through it real quick for you because I think it matters about the call for firing the prosecutor.
00:51:19.000The White House, under Obama, had a conference with Ukrainian officials in late January.
00:51:28.000And on the off-site of that conference, at the old executive office building, they were addressing corruption, and they asked the state prosecutor, representatives there, to back off the Burisma investigation.
00:51:40.000A week later, back in Ukraine, they conducted a raid of the Burisma headquarters and the president of the Burisma company's home.
00:51:50.000That led to at least eight phone calls over the next 10 days between President Biden and President Poroshenko of Ukraine, which then subsequently led to a trip coordinated by Eric Chiramella to Ukraine Where they put the hammer down saying we need the investigation of Burisima ended.
00:52:13.000They masked it under corruption saying that the attorney, the state's attorney, was corrupt.
00:52:20.000That's when they threatened to withhold IMF funding.
00:52:24.000That same prosecutor that they're asking to be fired for corruption had gotten an award from the United States at the end of 2015 for being a stellar prosecutor.
00:52:35.000Yeah, I mean, look, if we would have, you know, the Hunter Biden laptop, I mean, if you and I and your team here decide tonight that we're just going to start doing crack cocaine, bringing some prostitutes or whatever, the FBI would be knocking on your door tomorrow morning.
00:52:52.000Lying on our taxes, lying on the government gun forms.
00:52:54.000We're throwing a gun in the garbage outside of a school?
00:53:21.000And they say Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office.
00:53:27.000They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election.
00:53:35.000And they helped Clinton's allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisors, a political investigation found.
00:53:43.000How is this story still on Politico when they later came out?
00:53:46.000I think it was Politico EU was reporting from, I believe it could be wrong, Natasha Bertrand saying this story was in fact Russian disinformation.
00:53:56.000And we, we, Derek and I, we know a lot about this, this story because we brought this story up over and over and over again during the Ukraine impeachment hoax.
00:54:05.000I mean, this is one of the stories that proves that it's a hoax.
00:54:08.000The whole, the whole first impeachment of Trump was a hoax.
00:54:12.000It was, I mean, they accused Trump of what they had done.
00:54:47.000So Joe Biden says, I told them, if you don't fire the prosecutor, you're not getting the billion
00:54:51.000dollars. And they said, what? You can't. You have no authority. So call the president. See what he
00:54:55.000says. Six, he said, I look at my watch. You got six hours of the prosecutors not fired. You're
00:54:59.000not getting the money. Well, SOB, guy got fired.
00:55:03.000And I'm like, so an illegal quid pro quo, the vice president has no authority to override certified loan guarantees from the US government.
00:55:50.000The dude's old and not running for office.
00:55:52.000Nobody thought he would- I think some people speculated he would run, but there was no definitive answer whether he would, but that's the angle they went with.
00:55:59.000Donald Trump stumbled upon some very serious corruption.
00:56:03.000And I think people need to understand this.
00:56:05.000What's happening in Ukraine, I think, has long been planned.
00:56:07.000I was there, on the ground, in the end of 2013, and I think it was end of 2013, when the Maidan protests were starting.
00:56:16.000Then, it was a few months later, I had left, they ousted Yanukovych.
00:56:20.000This was an escalation that had been happening quite a bit.
00:56:23.000Russia takes Crimea, Donald Trump gets elected, everything stops.
00:57:10.000I think Ukraine is, what, a vassal state of NATO, of the United States.
00:57:15.000You know, you've got Russia running the Gazprom pipeline through the country, jacking up the prices into Europe, causing a lot of problems.
00:57:50.000Because he was also the first president to send lethal weapons to Ukraine, which some people at the time saw as an escalation.
00:57:57.000Yeah, well, look, if you look at what if you look at what Trump let's talk about the big picture and back up and then go back to the propaganda.
00:58:07.000So remember, every time Trump would make a move, they would say, he's an idiot.
00:58:11.000Oh, I can't believe he said that this is embarrassing.
00:58:14.000And, you know, a lot of us were sitting back saying, Well, wait a second, you know, we've been having these, you know, I would go to these meetings.
00:58:20.000And, you know, I spent a lot of time overseas.
00:58:23.000I mean, Colonel Harvey was was with me at a lot of these meetings.
00:58:26.000And we would go meet with some anywhere from our allies to okay people to some really bad people, you know.
00:58:33.000And I I was just glad for the first time, because I was always, as a chair of a committee and top Republican, you never want to go—we always kind of had a rule that the partisanship stops once we leave the country, right?
00:58:51.000And you try to put forth good faith effort overseas.
00:58:55.000So with Republicans, Democrats, you don't want to be fighting your political conflicts over there.
00:59:02.000Anyway, I'd sit in those damn meetings.
00:59:04.000I remember specifically sitting in a meeting with the Germans, knowing that they were shutting down their nuclear power plants and they were getting ready to put this pipeline, additional pipeline, in to be solely relying on Russia.
00:59:17.000And I was thinking to myself, and I always kick myself sometimes when you think I should have
00:59:21.000said something, I should have done something. And not that it would have mattered at the time,
00:59:25.000but I said, you know, I felt like saying, what the hell are you guys doing? You know,
00:59:29.000and sometimes I'd have little sidebars like, what the hell are you guys doing with this?
00:59:32.000You guys are shutting down these nuclear power plants. This is crazy. So when Trump goes over
00:59:38.000there and says, okay, cut all this bullshit out.
00:59:41.000Here's what we're going to, here's what we're going to do.
00:59:50.000Why aren't you putting in the money to NATO?
00:59:51.000I mean, you know how many times I would go to NATO and we'd sit there in these stupid meetings and everybody, you know, Oh, you know, I can only put in 1.2%.
00:59:57.000I'm supposed to be put into, I mean, this has gone on for three or four decades of these guys not putting in their money.
01:00:04.000Yeah, and so what Trump remember, like that was just like what he said was not crazy.
01:00:11.000It was actually just common sense. But they should be paying and they shouldn't be shutting
01:00:15.000down their nukes and they shouldn't be buying gas from Russia. Because if you do, and the Russians
01:00:20.000decide to ultimately shut off your gas. Now what the hell are you going to do?
01:00:41.000He provided Eastern Europeans, especially the Poles, military assistance and, you know, weapon systems and things that the Obama administration had been denying.
01:00:52.000Built relationships with Romania and other countries, okay?
01:00:56.000He focused on Russia doing things that the Obama administration didn't do.
01:01:00.000He was building up NATO and pressuring NATO Which the Democrats accused him of dividing NATO and weakening NATO, but he called them out and he got them to increase funding by $140 billion.
01:01:13.000Which still wasn't close to the 2%, but it was more than we had ever gotten.
01:01:51.000Every president, oh, we're going to really get tough on China.
01:01:54.000And I'll be damned if he didn't do it.
01:01:55.000But specifically, where we are now, and especially your work on the Intelligence Committee, how dangerous is the current situation that we're in now, especially with this kind of proxy war between the East and the West unfolding in Ukraine right now?
01:02:08.000It kind of depends on, it's tough to get good analysis out of there, right?
01:02:16.000Look, Russia could do some real damage to Europe this winter.
01:02:19.000That's a serious issue that we just talked about.
01:02:23.000Secondly, it kind of depends on, well, I think the Russians are, you know, have they lost 30,000, 50,000, 100,000, who knows what the right number is.
01:02:33.000But, you know, the Russians clearly thought they were going to go in there, march to Kiev, and that the Ukrainians were going to lay down their guns.
01:02:40.000And I will tell you that, I mean, there's, I think number one, it's hard for them to, no matter how much they censor, There's still a lot of young people that really they're conscripts that the Russians are relying on, but they know Ukrainians, they know each other.
01:02:56.000The Ukrainians never wanna have the Russians back.
01:03:00.000I mean, you have a lot of the old, the guys that are fighting for the Ukrainians right now are guys that were in the Russian military.
01:03:08.000I mean, you got guys that are 40, 50, 60 years old that were brought up and trained by the Soviets that are now running They're military operations.
01:03:18.000The Russians are relying on a lot of conscripts.
01:03:20.000They've lost, if, look, let's just call it, what do you think, Colonel?
01:03:33.000I'm not sure it's that many given the lethality on the battlefield today, but going back just a minute.
01:03:40.000The Biden administration basically invited them into Ukraine by closing down the embassy, evacuating all Americans, and just basically saying, hey, Russia, we're not going to interfere.
01:04:01.000The fact that Zelensky in Ukraine fought and the Russians were incompetent, created a stalemate and that forced their hand and the Europeans stepped up to the plate.
01:04:12.000I'm not sure the Biden administration led on this.
01:04:14.000We're going to try and take credit for it anyway.
01:04:16.000But right now, one of the issues that is being talked about is, was Russia losing as badly as they are, and they've been having some significant setbacks on the ground, what would trigger a tactical nuke or something else that would potentially
01:05:01.000And what So the idea that you would think that now, and now I don't think he's playing with a full deck.
01:05:09.000I mean, I didn't think that he would go into Ukraine because I said, why would you do that when you already know how to use the little green men?
01:05:34.000And people need to understand, too, that when many people imagine nuclear weapons, they imagine megaton bombs and these massive ICBMs and MIRVs and things like that.
01:05:45.000They could use a low yield, relatively nuclear bomb that just decimates the central Kiev.
01:05:51.000What would happen to the morale of the Ukrainian soldiers if Putin were to fire a nuke?
01:05:56.000I think people would drop their guns and run full speed because what do you do at that level of war?
01:06:01.000And that could eventually lead to, I don't know, Ukraine become... I don't believe that it would result necessarily in mutually assured destruction.
01:06:09.000If Putin targets Ukrainian strategic locations, military, and there's some fear that he'll use nuclear power plants as standing nuclear weapons.
01:06:19.000If he targets them and uses lower yield weapons, I don't see NATO or the West responding with larger yield bombs against Russia.
01:06:26.000Well, Putin does not want Ukraine to exist if Russia does not own it.
01:06:36.000Well, I think it's also important because there's a lot of energy being found, especially in the southern part, especially by Odessa, that the Russians want to control.
01:06:46.000And that's why they concentrated a lot of their forces, a lot of their troops on the southern, because they don't want Ukraine to become a petrostate.
01:06:52.000Because if Ukraine becomes a petrostate, Russia is absolutely defeated and screwed over in the long term in their trajectory.
01:06:59.000And I think You know, there's a lot of interest here.
01:08:32.000They're saying, as you said, the police won't respond to trespassers on your property, and they're going to eliminate cash bail for most criminal offenders.
01:09:06.000Well look, I always tell the story about people who haven't been to California recently, you see the pictures of the homeless, you see the pictures of the nuttiness in San Francisco, and you see the pictures in LA and all the popular places, but those places have always had homeless people, it's just that they're 10 or 15x.
01:09:26.000Where you didn't have homeless people were in the rest of the state.
01:09:28.000Or if you did, they were kind of your traditional hobo, kind of, you know, you have onesies, twosies, five, maybe.
01:09:34.000Well, let's, let's, let's, real quick, let's, uh, let's break this down.
01:12:31.000And then I was just like, where is everyone?
01:12:34.000And then Ian made a good point, and he goes, a lot of more homeless people popping up.
01:12:38.000And I was like, man, is that what's happening?
01:12:40.000People aren't working anywhere, they're losing their homes, they can't afford it anymore, and that's why the homeless population is increasing so much?
01:12:46.000I think at least what you see in California, and we're getting them from all over the country, and it's really sad because a lot of them are a product of meth, methamphetamines.
01:13:00.000Oh man, I started watching Breaking Bad.
01:13:51.000Do we blame Big Pharma for the opioid epidemic?
01:13:54.000Do we blame China for the fentanyl that makes it worse?
01:13:57.000Do we blame the fast food industry that's creating a poor mental health?
01:14:02.000Do we blame social media that's also creating poor mental health?
01:14:06.000Blame legalization of marijuana across the whole country?
01:14:08.000Do you blame, you know, I mean you could go on down the list, but the drug use across the board contributes significantly to the mental health issues because it does create damage to the brain and the functioning of a good segment of that population.
01:14:30.000It's funny that we I'm surprised, you know, learning about American history that they actually were actually able to get a constitutional amendment just to get rid of alcohol.
01:14:39.000Yeah, I think it's crazy that, you know, marijuana is still illegal in some states, but doctors could prescribe legalized heroin and get people addicted and hooked on for the rest of their lives.
01:14:47.000That's a problem right there that deserves to be called out.
01:14:50.000And yes, marijuana is being genetically engineered.
01:14:52.000There's a whole bunch of Frankenstein marijuana that's really bad, especially for children.
01:15:01.000But there is something to say about how society has failed most people, and most people are now becoming homeless or poor more than ever.
01:15:09.000Yeah, I think what you say, I mean all of these issues that we're talking about, all of them to some degree matter.
01:15:16.000But the challenge that we have in California is that, you know, I always tell people, stop, if you don't want bears, stop feeding the bears.
01:15:26.000I mean, you have to admit you have a problem and stop.
01:15:31.000And we're getting more and more and more of them.
01:15:33.000And there's so many things that have to be done to handle the problem.
01:15:36.000But it is... I mean, look, nobody... Every time I get on a plane, I just... When I left California the other day, before I got stuck in Dallas and then teleported to the secret meeting with President Trump at the golf course, before all that... It could have been your evil twin, though.
01:15:56.000But every time I fly, I get, oh, I used to, hey, you used to be my congressman back in the day.
01:16:01.000But, you know, I left to Texas like five years ago or three years ago.
01:16:04.000I mean, every time it's people that are still have business in California or whatever, but they've moved their headquarters to a different state.
01:18:20.000What keeps it alive, actually, was the founding fathers of the city realized they needed some really fresh, good, clean water.
01:18:28.000They went into Yosemite National Park, dammed up a valley not as big as Yosemite Valley, but one that was a small mirror image of it just over the mountain range.
01:18:54.000Yeah, so if you keep that map up, so back around the turn of the century, I'm talking about 1900 now, the city of San Francisco figured out, hell, we don't have any water here, we've got to do something because you can't drink the salt water in the bay, right?
01:19:08.000So they built that dam, created that lake, and they piped the water all the way over to San Francisco.
01:19:16.000All right, that's where San Francisco gets its water.
01:19:46.000But my point to say all this is that this is a man-made created crisis.
01:19:53.000Like the people of California knew that like when we had people with brains, they knew, hey,
01:19:58.000we better build some nuclear power plants. If we're going to have 40 million people living
01:20:01.000here, we better build nuclear power plants.
01:20:02.000Clean, easy, they work. And in fact, the last, what I was saying about paying Newsom now after
01:20:08.000Republicans, the few Republicans that are left, including our delegation said, idiot,
01:20:14.000you're going to run the state out of power.
01:20:16.000He finally acquiesced and said, I'm going to come in and save the nuclear power plant.
01:20:20.000Not talking about how he was the one that was going to shut it down in the first place.
01:20:24.000And the same thing as water until people run out of water into what you said, Tim, that like, they actually don't have any water coming out of the tap.
01:20:57.000A lot of this, everything I think we're facing is all cultural issues.
01:21:00.000There is a sect of people right now, and it's mostly the Democrats, the Biden supporters, They only care about saying what is socially acceptable.
01:21:09.000So of course they repeat what they see on TV, they believe every single hoax, and they vote for policies that destroy everything so long as the mob, they agree with the mob, they're content to just watch everything burn.
01:22:42.000And it's like, and all of the people who lived in California working for him, two to one, it's Democrats, it's liberal voters coming to Texas.
01:22:49.000Now, I think there still is good news because it seems like more anti-woke, anti-cult people are moving to Texas, and it's going to help keep the state red.
01:22:58.000And you have the Rio Grande Valley, which has turned red.
01:23:03.000And that will actually dilute the cults.
01:23:05.000That was one of the things I was going to, I think the Mexican vote in this country, and I specifically say, you could actually use the kind of the larger term Hispanic, but it's really the Mexican vote that's in Texas and California, Arizona, Yeah, but he posted a taco bowl picture.
01:23:20.000begins to shift and it doesn't have to shift very much and if you remember in
01:23:24.0002016 when Trump won remember the fake news had created this whole narrative
01:23:28.000that Trump was going to you know get rid of all the Hispanics they were all going
01:23:33.000to be kicked out of the country remember that yeah well he posted a Taco Bell
01:23:36.000picture you know I didn't wait for a second well but a lot of people did I
01:23:40.000I mean, it was it was kind of a hard time because I felt bad like, like small kids that my wife's a schoolteacher.
01:23:46.000And I remember hearing the stories about little kids actually thought that they were going to, you know, that Trump was like, going to come and, you know, get them and send them back, even though they were born in the United States.
01:23:55.000But that's the kind of damage you talk about that this can do to young people and these images.
01:24:00.000But do you know that in the only growth area that I saw In the electorate in California in 18 and in 20 was with Mexican American voters.
01:24:11.000If you were a working Mexican American, those people, and actually working anyone.
01:24:21.000Where you're not shifting, anybody who's college educated, doesn't matter what color, what letter you use, you know, as your pronouns, you are going to be, you're shifting left.
01:24:33.000Well, one of the things on the exodus, the governor of New York says, hey Republicans, leave New York.
01:25:10.000Then I could come on the show all the time.
01:25:12.000We would need, uh, if the city can provide some kind of, like, grant so that we can relocate 30-plus employees and build new infrastructure we otherwise couldn't afford.
01:26:01.000But I've never been hotter outside of when I was in Iraq a few times, which Colonel Harvey lived there for five or six years, so he can tell you about real hot.
01:26:10.000But in DC, I mean, if it would be in the 90s, 95 with that nasty humidity with no breeze, and like that's what you'll see sometimes in Miami, but you're exactly right.
01:26:21.000I just think, I've been shocked at how even when I thought, oh man, I'm gonna, the humidity is gonna suck in Sarasota, but there's always like this breeze that comes off the Gulf.
01:28:42.000Were you being What was going on on the inside?
01:28:48.000You know, I actually am probably the only person, or very few people on the planet, who can actually say this.
01:28:56.000I went from the very best job in the world, and within a matter of just a few months, to the very worst job in the world.
01:29:04.000Okay, so I was having, you know, it was tough work, but it was rewarding work.
01:29:10.000You get to work with patriots like Colonel Harvey.
01:29:12.000A lot of the folks I worked with, it was very bipartisan.
01:29:16.000You never heard from the House Intelligence Committee.
01:29:20.000Until you got to the point of, you know, if there was a terrorist attack or some international issue because, you know, people didn't even really want to serve on the Intelligence Committee because it was hard work.
01:30:17.000Was there, was there any more retribution that you faced for speaking out against what you knew was wrong and what you were right all along about?
01:30:24.000I mean, look, there's still, you have, I mean, look, this is, this is, I was getting, you know, why did I leave?
01:30:42.000And the way that I realized it is, is after the 2020 election, I thought to myself, you know, after, you know, Parler got canceled and all that, that we talked about earlier.
01:30:50.000But another important point is, how could it be that you still had over half of America at that point, according to polls that I'd seen right after the election, that believed that Trump and Republicans had something to do with Russia?
01:31:19.000Is there anything that you were, you were, you know, a part of the committee that, that you were able to preview, uh, get information about that you knew everyone else was wrong about other than just the, the whole Russian gate?
01:31:36.000We were doing a lot on China, identifying what China was doing in technology, espionage, pushing that China was a real threat, and that was before Trump.
01:31:49.000Yeah, we ran a long, I mean actually our China investigation dated back a long time, and we were, you know, and Colonel Harvey was running that investigation for us.
01:32:00.000There's a lot there, I mean China's a big problem.
01:32:02.000But, you know, we want to be happy warriors for the rest of the night and not get depressed.

01:32:31.000Leor Engelstein says, I'll start off the superchats by saying, a government that has created enough laws that the average citizen breaks 20 federal laws a day is the same as, quote, show me the man and I will tell you the crime.
01:33:13.000Well, uh, we'll talk to the crew and see what, uh, what we got.
01:33:17.000Dano says, I am a sub at Timcast and I can't give much, but after the video about schools today, I wanted to support you more to hopefully support that micro school more that you gave to.
01:34:13.000So I recently made a contribution in the low five figures to help a micro school get started out here.
01:34:18.000Make sure they have books and the kids can get good learning.
01:34:21.000And there's some religious values involved and I think it's a good idea, especially considering how they're trying to indoctrinate kids at schools.
01:34:27.000I thought it was an important thing to do.
01:34:29.000So Dano, I really appreciate the support.
01:35:55.000So if YouTube wants to jam us up, not put up notifications, even for those who have selected it, all you have to do is take the URL to this video and post it on any social media you can, and that will be ten times more powerful than any notification.
01:36:07.000Wait, you guys get notifications here?
01:36:22.000If you guys haven't been watching Castcastle, there's a funny story arc going on where Ian runs for union president, but a bunch of early ballots come in at 3am and Chris ends up winning.
01:36:45.000Mount Jeeves says, they get away with it because the people they look to tell them to vote and wait to be saved instead of organizing.
01:36:52.000Well, I gotta, I gotta, uh, halt a little bit of that comment because we are, uh, first of all, it's a little too spicy.
01:37:00.000And we are less than two months away from an election where we actually have prominent MAGA Republicans, America First Republicans, who are set to win.
01:37:09.000We've got, you know, people like Cory Mills in Florida.
01:37:11.000We've got people like Kerry Lake, the governor of Arizona.
01:37:14.000You are so close to tasting a real victory.
01:37:17.000You should get your friends to go vote.
01:38:29.000I think the Biden administration is the administration of chaos.
01:38:32.000And I think it's not something that they want to prevent.
01:38:34.000I think it's something that they want to spur on because it's going to work in their benefit when it comes to the larger destruction of our economy that they have been already engineering.
01:38:44.000If they strike, I mean, let's take my part of California.
01:38:48.000You know, you have to remember we're an agricultural area.
01:38:51.000We have living animals, right, that rely on grain imported.
01:38:56.000I mean, one of the reasons why the United States is such a strong country is because we can feed ourselves.
01:39:02.000We have more food here than we can consume.
01:39:06.000But if the food can't move around the country, especially when you have living animals that rely on that grain from the Midwest, You could be facing, that's just one little example of, like you don't have, like if the trains don't run for three or four days, within a week we have starving animals in California.
01:39:23.000You don't have the commodities going to the Kellogg's factories or Purina or others that gets processed into real food.
01:39:30.000Remember how crazy they went about the baby food crisis?
01:40:18.000or two so but Florida sunny rant milk says Tim pool would you kindly turn my
01:40:23.000TV off the next time you steal my spoons so what is that so they're like you know
01:40:30.000with shows like this come stalkers and there is there was one person it was one
01:40:34.000of my favorite they claimed on Twitter that I showed up to their house at 2 a.m.
01:40:38.000thousands of miles away from where the studio is and walked in their house and
01:40:42.000turned their TVs on and it woke up their family and they were really pissed off
01:40:44.000that it happened and people believed it they actually like wow I can't I can
01:40:49.000believe he would do that haha so crazy and I'm like bro I don't I'm thousands
01:40:53.000of miles away from this place why would you believe that I did that because
01:40:55.000people are insane they want to believe They do.
01:41:00.000Augusto Mimoshe says, as a Libertarian and Ron Paul supporter, I demand an apology, and I told you so rights from conservatives for the Patriot Act, et cetera.
01:41:11.000Yeah, a lot of Ron Paul Libertarians were warning Republicans that the powers that they have given themselves after 9-11 will eventually be used against them, and I think that's what's happening here.
01:44:19.000Yeah, so the other night we were like, we're gonna have a big show tomorrow.
01:44:22.000And then I guess because Trump was in DC, everybody was like, Trump, come on, you know, and then when when Devin shows up, they're like, Oh, yeah, but now I'm gonna be literally disappointed now that the tick tockers are gonna do better than the Colonel Harvey and I. Yeah, but if it was any other day, you know, Robert Muir says, Muir, stop letting others define whom you are.
01:44:44.000To you, people will say whatever they want about you.
01:44:46.000There's nothing you can really do about it.
01:45:26.000And speaking of recycling, you look at the number of senior FBI and senior Democratic DOJ officials, like Baker, who go to Facebook or go to Twitter or go to these other social media companies as senior people.
01:45:41.000And then they spend some time there and then they go back and they go back into DNI or someplace like that.
01:45:47.000There's this relationship and we can't seem to get into it.
01:45:50.000Obama even said that he would love to come back as president, but not be president, but be the person calling all the shots behind the scenes a couple years ago.
01:45:57.000So he's been making statements about this possible reality.
01:46:02.000Chris Pavotto says, for anyone else door knocking or with colleagues, talking with colleagues about voting, when the economy and inflation comes up, ask, isn't it crazy why those in control at D.C.
01:46:12.000haven't pushed for a federal minimum wage increase?
01:46:16.000You know, the argument, you have a lot of Democrats talking about all these problems, but they're not actually pursuing what many of the Democratic voters are asking for.
01:46:23.000Not that I think it'll solve the problem.
01:46:25.000I had a voter the other day make the point that the Democrats in Washington D.C.
01:46:29.000are doing to their constituents, their policies are undermining and attacking minorities, immigrants of all types, lower income people because of inflation, their tax structures, the IRS.
01:46:51.000has changed over the, you know, when I first went there.
01:46:55.000I mean, it used to be, you know, a city where, you know, you had a large African-American population, and largely that population's been pushed out, been pushed out into Maryland.
01:47:06.000And D.C.' 's like this new, like, I mean, it's, I don't know if it's got, it's got to have one of the highest per capita incomes in the country.
01:47:13.000I mean, there's new apartment numbers, there's cranes everywhere, the construction's never stopped, and essentially the city has become a place for young 1%-er liberals.
01:48:09.000Well, they're telling farmers in the Netherlands to stop farming while they're also saying there's going to be a major food shortage because of Ukraine.
01:48:33.000I, uh, I don't know what to say, what to say about, I don't really pay attention to any of that stuff.
01:48:38.000I remember, uh, you know, when we started Timcast IRL, I had two other channels that were, you know, had large followings.
01:48:46.000And if the whole mentality of starting a channel was, we have to get more subs, we have to get bigger, I think you would lose what makes a channel actually work.
01:48:54.000We did the show because we had fun doing it, and we just keep doing it.
01:48:57.000And subscriber growth slowed down in an off-season year.
01:49:02.000In primary years, presidential primaries and presidential elections, the subscriber growth is just bonkers.
01:49:08.000Because everybody's now wrapped up in politics, you know?
01:49:11.000So it's going to get, it's going to get crazy for everybody in politics in this, in this coming year.
01:49:15.000And then 2024 is 2024 is going to be insane.
01:50:33.000I think I talked earlier about the, you know, when I had the best job, you know, to the, to the worst job, but in many ways, as bad as the job was at the, there at the end with the Russia hoax, I mean, at least, at least we were able to tell the American people the truth.
01:50:45.000And at least that, at least that's, that's out there probably a, you know, one of my funniest stories in, in politics was I had a guy, this was when I was first elected.
01:50:57.000He called me, called the office, and he said, I have a bear in my backyard and he's eating the fruit off my trees.
01:51:06.000And I said, well, there's not really much we can do about it.
01:51:08.000You've got to call Fish and Game, blah, blah, blah, let us help you.
01:51:10.000And he said, no, no, no, I want you to come out and kill the bear.
01:51:15.000So finally he kept so I said finally I told one of my my district director at the time I said would you just go because we thought maybe the guy was just going a little senile because he sounded like he was really old and and he was really old and went out there he's old World War II that and got it there the guy was kind of lonely and I'll be damned if the bear wasn't there and so when we tried to work with the all the Fish and Game Commission all these people to try to go kill the damn bear And usually they would capture it and take it off.
01:51:45.000And so the guy kept calling, kept calling, kept calling.
01:52:26.000You know, the Asajj situation is one that there's just not a lot of information.
01:52:30.000And I know people are very passionate about it that, you know, on the kind of that front.
01:52:34.000But, you know, we just don't, there's so much that is unknown about it, about Asajj, that, you know, because we, you know, many people, I mean, I think even I think even Sean Hannity went over there, um, you know, and tried to get him, you know, several, you know, several prominent people have tried to get Asajj to like, Hey, kind of let, Hey, this is your chance.
01:53:03.000No, I realized, but he couldn't do it, but he's in a, but it's, it's kind of a catch 22 situation because if he doesn't do it, then, you know, then people are going to say he broke the law.
01:53:17.000Obama, I think, went after more whistleblowers and journalists under the Espionage Act than all other presidents combined, if that's the case.
01:53:26.000Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, they accepted leaks and they published them, but the New York Times does the exact same thing.
01:53:31.000The issue is that WikiLeaks was just very effective, and it was out of their reach.
01:53:35.000So, at the very least, you can look at what they did with Julian Assange in Sweden.
01:53:40.000They first get him locked up under some ridiculous claims about Swedish, you know, rape laws or something, because a condom broke, which is ridiculous, and then ultimately drop those as soon as the U.S.
01:53:50.000And I think it was, correct me if I'm wrong, Luke, it was Trump that ordered the raid on the Ecuadorian embassy, right?
01:53:58.000It was under his administration, I believe.
01:54:01.000I gotta fact check that to be completely honest with you.
01:54:03.000My view is that I think Trump wanted to bring Assange over here because he knew Assange had answers about what was going on and could provide some evidence and testimony.
01:54:11.000Assange won't do it because Wikipedia won't, he wouldn't give up his credibility.
01:54:15.000There was allegedly an offer from the Trump administration asking Assange to reveal his sources of the leak and Assange said he wouldn't do that.
01:54:23.000That's the story allegedly that we heard from a mutual friend of ours.
01:55:10.000FreeRoss.org, I think, has a website detailing that particular circumstance, which also is egregious from my point of view.
01:55:17.000I think Trump should have pardoned all non-violent drug offenders, like, who didn't plead down.
01:55:24.000So it's like people who had, you know, varying degrees of pot, he just meant like we're pardoning all of it.
01:55:29.000Yeah, there's a lot of people that definitely deserved pardons, but, you know, Kodak Black, like, definitely makes you wonder what was going on there.
01:55:57.000I mean, look at how you've got the same people that are going after Trump.
01:56:05.000They're doing the same thing in Georgia.
01:56:07.000It's the weaponization of the justice system.
01:56:10.000And I mean, look, if you're going to go after people for Look, what Bannon has said publicly about this over and over again, he hasn't hid from it.
01:56:19.000He's been very, from what I can tell, very transparent about what they were doing.
01:56:23.000You know, look, it's not something that I would do, but it just seems like he's a political target.
01:56:30.000By this standard, you'd have to be investigating, charging, and bringing to prosecution thousands of these nonprofit people.
01:57:09.000Man, a lot of people are pointing out that they're not getting notifications anymore, and, uh, you know, we're working on a mobile app.
01:57:15.000And so, I'm just imagining, it's gonna be great, y'all will download the mobile app, and then at, like, 7.55, a little thing will go, and it'll be like, we're live in five minutes, come hang out.
01:58:11.000Well, I don't know how that would work.
01:58:13.000The only thing that I can think of in my mind that I could probably build from scratch is a steam engine, because it's a relatively simple thing to build.
01:58:20.000Granted, I'm not talking about actually making the metals or anything, but I could buy the parts, and I have a general concept of how to make a steam engine.
02:00:19.000I don't think he can move, but we were at a car dealership and we were getting a new work vehicle and then someone traded it in and then we looked at it and it was like, you know, and then I think my brother was just like, how much do you want for that?
02:00:36.000And it was like a couple hundred bucks.
