The governor of New Mexico has declared a public health emergency in which it is now illegal to possess a firearm in public, even though the state is an open carry state. Meanwhile, a grand jury in Georgia votes to indict three Republican members of the Senate.
00:00:34.000Granted, there's a nuance to it, but outright, the governor has declared a public health emergency in which it is now illegal to possess a firearm in public, even though the state is an open carry state.
00:00:49.000I'll keep it light for the intro, but for those that know their history, when executives declare the seizure of weapons, typically, historically, in many places, really bad things follow that.
00:01:01.000I am extremely worried to hear this news breaking today and 10 minutes ago, maybe about 20 minutes ago.
00:01:09.000On top of this, new information is breaking with the release of the grand jury recommendations.
00:01:15.000The grand jury in Georgia voted to indict sitting members of the Senate, including Lindsey Graham, three.
00:01:24.000And Fannie Willis has just declined those indictments.
00:01:28.000Understand the... I mean, this is... Let's just start over.
00:01:36.000The grand jury in Georgia voted to indict three Republican members of the Senate.
00:01:43.000New Mexico has just decreed possession of guns to be illegal.
00:02:05.000Don Jr., Matt Gaetz, PatrickBetDavid, me, Luke Grudkowski, and Ian, we're all gonna be there.
00:02:10.000And we're gonna have a pre-show for you, a bunch of free stuff from companies that are a part of Public Square.
00:02:16.000The whole event is sponsored by Public Square.
00:02:18.000I think Public Square is the tip of the spear.
00:02:22.000It's one of the most effective and one of the most important tools in winning the culture war, building a parallel economy, and it is an honor and a privilege to have them as our main sponsor for the event, and only sponsor.
00:02:32.000So we really, really do hope to see you there.
00:03:44.000I am, uh, well, a YouTuber on the internet.
00:03:46.000I talk about guns, gun safety, try to, uh, blend entertainment and comedy with, you know, trying to teach, you know, Second Amendment activism, uh, firearm history, all sorts of things.
00:03:57.000But also, more recently, I'm now running for Congress against incumbent rhino, uh, Tony Gonzalez in, uh, CD 23.
00:04:04.000We're, we're, uh, I'm, I may be one of the most 2A absolutists you'll ever meet, uh, I don't know if you've ever heard the arguments I've made, but I've even argued with Republicans about the right to keep and bear nuclear weapons and biological weapons.
00:05:31.000Governor Michelle Luan Grisham on Friday announced a new public health order that she said will ban people from carrying firearms either open or concealed in Albuquerque and throughout the Bernalillo County for the next 30 days regardless of whether they have a permit.
00:05:44.000Grisham, a Democrat, issued an executive order Thursday evening declaring gun violence a public health emergency.
00:05:50.000This is beyond unconstitutional, but I will tell you this right now.
00:05:57.000I'm willing to believe the police, with smiles on their face, will arrest you if you have a weapon.
00:06:04.000The order states no person other than law enforcement or licensed security officer shall possess a firearm, either openly or concealed, with cities or counties averaging 1,000 or more violent crimes per 100,000 residents per year since 2021.
00:06:17.000So, because of that, it only applies to the city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, Lujan Grisham said, and can only be enforced by New Mexico State Police, whose presence in the state's largest city would be significant over the next month.
00:06:31.000We've seen this kind of things happen in various countries, happen throughout history, and they almost always, I think it's fair to say always, Lead to very, very, very awful outcomes.
00:06:43.000Sometimes it takes a little bit longer for the awful outcome, but typically disarming the population by decree results in active conflict between the citizenry and law enforcement.
00:06:54.000Oh, I know all of these libs are going to get so bent out of shape when I say this, but for those of you that know American history, you will know that the first battle, which wasn't really even a battle of the American Revolution, was because the Crown was trying to seize the weapons from local militia.
00:07:09.000Basically, farmers who got together and said, we do not believe these laws are justified, and they went and said, okay, well, we're going to come take all your guns from you, and they said, no, you're not.
00:07:18.000When we were setting up the show, What's the big story, I always ask?
00:07:22.000And we've got this huge story about the Georgia grand jury indicted, voted to indict, three sitting members of the Senate, Republicans, and only because the Democrats were like, no, we're not going to do that.
00:07:34.000Even though this is what the grand jury does.
00:07:36.000This is where we're at right now in this country.
00:07:38.000And then Brandon over here says, New Mexico just banned by decree.
00:07:41.000Uh, carrying weapons, and I'm like, no, no, no, that's wrong, that's wrong.
00:07:45.000Googled it, and I'm like, no, this is just some kind of, like, platitude.
00:07:48.000And then, uh, Ren's like, nope, Santa Fe, New Mexico.
00:07:51.000It literally just came up in my Instagram feed.
00:07:54.000The first time I looked at it, I'm like, ah, you know, maybe this is somebody being a little dramatic on Twitter.
00:07:57.000Because, you know, sometimes people, you know, they see a story, and then they extrapolate something that's not quite correct.
00:08:03.000Like, it's not all the way verifiable.
00:08:05.000They just kind of go their own way with it.
00:08:07.000Sure enough, looked into it, and that's exactly what it seems like just happened.
00:08:10.000I will say, Arizona didn't ban guns as some tyrant is attempting to, and that tyrant, or New Mexico, thank you very much, New Mexico didn't ban guns, some tyrant's trying to, and it's up to the people of New Mexico to decide whether or not that tyrant's going to speak for the people.
00:08:28.000The question we have right now is, is it a legal executive order?
00:08:33.000And the question for a person in my position is, What advice do you give the average person?
00:08:42.000First of all, I think that it's clearly unconstitutional.
00:08:46.000There is no provision in the Constitution, in the Federal Constitution, the United States Constitution, that empowers governors to revoke the rights of any citizen under any reason.
00:09:04.000So first of all, right off the bat, it's unconstitutional.
00:09:07.000You're gonna have to have people get together, peacefully open carry, peacefully disregard the law, and it's gonna have to be a... It's not a law though.
00:09:22.000My position is almost always, you know, we challenge the law through the legal system.
00:09:28.000When legislatures pass laws, it's something we have to get active on with knocking on doors and filing lawsuits.
00:09:35.000Many of these laws are unjust and get removed instantly.
00:09:38.000It is extremely likely that this thing is going to be struck down Almost immediately.
00:09:43.000However, the governor did it on a Friday intentionally so that she's guaranteed a few days of this being in effect, which is using the procedure as the punishment.
00:09:54.000What do you say to the average person?
00:11:03.000But they're having state police enforce this.
00:11:06.000Which is why I was really curious what the New Mexico State Constitution says about it.
00:11:10.000So, Article 2 of the Constitution of New Mexico provides, quote, No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense, for lawful hunting and recreational use, and for all other lawful purposes.
00:11:22.000But nothing herein shall be held to permit the carrying of concealed weapons.
00:11:27.000So this is the New Mexico Bill of Rights, Section 2, and right to bear arms is Article 2, Section 6, And, uh, it's exactly as you said, we have it pulled up here, and this was, um, it looks like as of November 2nd, 1971.
00:11:43.000So the governor, if the police, I'm hoping the police just say, here's what needs to happen, we need a statement from the head of state police, publicly, right now, to the press, this is not correct, it will not be enforced, the citizens have a right to keep and bear arms, you know, as regulated, and we will not I'm sorry.
00:13:11.000But the only thing that matters to me is that the cop, with a smile on his face, said, ma'am, I know the bridge is five minutes right there.
00:13:18.000I could turn you around right now and say, just bring it home.
00:13:35.000You have to have some amount of policing in your society and in your community.
00:13:41.000And if you go to communities that are riddled with crime and you talk to the normal people that are not committing crimes, they're like, send more cops.
00:13:49.000We need more police because we need to get these people that are committing the crimes off the streets.
00:13:55.000If you go to places that are high crime, the police know the people that are committing the crimes.
00:14:44.000What happened in Provo, Utah when they went in that guy's house, shot and killed him?
00:14:48.000It appears, maybe it's not the gays, but it certainly appears like they're doing everything possible to provoke a violent outbreak.
00:14:55.000This right here in New Mexico is basically chucking dynamite into a crowd and being like, let's see what happens.
00:15:02.000And a lot of, like, the case that you were talking about earlier, where, like, the cop you said actively chose, that he made that decision to ruin her life, or at least make her life extremely difficult for the next few years.
00:15:12.000That's where, like, I've learned a lot, just being around, like, you know, Donut Operator Cody, like, my best friend.
00:15:18.000I've learned a lot about policing and different stuff like that through his eyes and stuff like that.
00:15:23.000And a big thing that he harps on is officer discretion with stuff like that.
00:15:27.000Like, that's something that, and I think that's where a lot of the nuance gets lost between, like, The ACAB crowd, the thin blue line crowd, like the officer's always wrong, the officer's always right.
00:15:36.000Officer discretion is really an important thing that is not utilized enough.
00:15:39.000And I know that there's a lot of officers, a lot of police officers that don't live in the towns that they police.
00:15:46.000There's a lot of security issues that can come up and there's safety issues if you're in a place that's got a lot of crime and you're actively throwing people in jail and you live in that town, then there's a possibility of retribution and stuff.
00:16:00.000If you have police officers that you see regularly and you know you can have a rapport with them, and the police officers can have a rapport with you.
00:16:08.000If a cop knows that you're not one of the handful of garbage cans that are out there causing all kinds of problems in town, the cop should, and obviously it's not every cop, but the cop really should take that into consideration.
00:16:24.000uh... for helping bring awareness to this he he he he just responded
00:16:28.000but it's all like his response is already generating a reaction
00:16:32.000so i did that the story i i think the story out
00:16:35.000holy f uh... and so a whole bunch of people have have jumped on it
00:16:39.000that's what gives me hope is that the this is this was such a bold and psychotic move
00:16:45.000it's like dropping a boulder into a pond Everyone notices the bang and the massive splash just shocked everybody.
00:16:51.000And the cops, the New Mexico State cops that are listening right now or they're gonna hear this story have an opportunity to exercise some discretion right now.
00:17:42.000It's a newer state relative to the rest of them, but... But yeah, I mean, so maybe Hawaii doesn't as well, but you know, like, seriously, it's like, the Second Amendment is supposed to be, you know, supremacy clauses means that it's supposed to be the supreme law, but, you know... So, man...
00:17:58.000You know, the culture war this morning was very interesting.
00:18:04.000Poor Alex didn't really get a chance to speak.
00:18:07.000Didn't really speak, so I can't really, you know... Thanks for coming anyway, buddy.
00:18:10.000But, Brandon Wu is here, and the general sentiment among many of these leftists...
00:18:14.000One thing I love what they do is they take tweets of mine where I say something like Civil War, but they remove the context of why I said it.
00:18:21.000So it's just a bunch of tweets that blanket say Civil War or whatever, but it'll be like, I don't know, there'll be an article that says something to the effect of far-left extremists, you know, opens fire, killing so-and-so, and I'll be like, Civil War, and then they'll remove that story and just snip the little statement.
00:18:34.000And that imply that I'm insinuating that there's some kind of, or that I want it to happen.
00:18:51.000And my response is just, do you think that during like the first, the American Civil War, that some dude walked out of his house in Atlanta, looked at his neighbor and said, do you want civil war?
00:19:02.000And then the other guy went, I certainly do.
00:19:13.000You were focused on your farm, or your shop, or the minutia and routine of your daily lives.
00:19:20.000Everyone seems to think that you need a mass mobilization of half the country rising up and formally declaring hostilities against the other half, and that's never been the case.
00:19:32.000In this instance, the reason why this story is alarming, we've just quite literally been talking about Lexington and Concord over the past week, when a couple hundred redcoats were like, hand over your guns, and they were like, not, you know, you can pry it from my cold dead hands.
00:19:48.000And that's considered a handful of militiamen, maybe it's a little hyperbolic to say a handful, but local militiamen, regular people who had weapons, saying no was the first battle of the American Revolution.
00:20:03.000And to even further your point, going back to the American Civil War, after you've got the revolution with Lexington and Concord, but in the American Civil War, There's always usually a focal point that happens, and it's usually some sort of government decree of some sort.
00:20:19.000Because the one in the American Civil War, a lot of people point to, is when Lincoln went to the South and he went to a lot of southern states and said, I expect you to send me 75,000 troops so we can go invade the states in rebellion.
00:20:34.000I think he demanded North Carolina and a few others, and the response was overwhelmingly, I think we're going to secede instead.
00:20:41.000Yeah, so, a lot of people always get mad when we talk about this stuff.
00:20:44.000They're like, you're not a historian, and you're getting facts wrong.
00:20:46.000It's like, okay, dude, I read a couple academic historical papers and watched a few documentaries, so I'm probably wrong.
00:20:51.000But my general understanding was that, I think it was seven states seceded before Lincoln was inaugurated, and then you had states, I think it was like Tennessee, West Virginia, Well, not West Virginia, but Virginia itself, because there was no West Virginia.
00:21:07.000Virginia was like, you know, we kind of want to secede, but we probably shouldn't.
00:21:12.000And they're like, okay, so we're not gonna.
00:21:13.000Then Lincoln said, hey, these states in active rebellion, I'm gonna conscript troops to go quell that rebellion.
00:21:19.000And that shifted sentiment in these states to where they were like, okay, now you want us to go to war?
00:22:19.000I have, in, look man, you know, I'm talking to Brianna Wu earlier, and she's saying like, we need to stop being at each other's necks, calm down, and you know, move this country forward.
00:22:33.000Everything they're doing does nothing but escalate.
00:22:37.000And I mean the establishment, the machine, the DOJ.
00:22:40.000I won't even take Democrats, I'll say the DOJ.
00:22:42.000When you have Joe Biggs get 19 and a half years in prison for this stuff, I'm like, yeah, you realize that's just gonna make everyone angrier.
00:22:52.000They like to say that it's absurd to bring up the concept of civil war, so I asked a few simple questions of Brianna.
00:22:58.000Do you think the people that stormed the Capitol when Joe Biden wins in 2024 will just pat their hands and say, well, good game, everybody.
00:23:07.000Or do you think they just say we are still angry, angry enough to break into the Capitol building?
00:23:13.000There's been no logical assessment by anyone who takes issue with Barbara Walter, Stephen Marsh, or I. There's been no logical argument against anything we've said.
00:23:24.000And those are two Democrats I'm citing specifically, who have said, more so than I, that we are in or actively facing civil war.
00:23:31.000There's been no argument as to what the off-ramp would be.
00:23:37.000Yeah, and that goes back to like the classic meme of like, who radicalized you?
00:24:51.000There is something Joe Biden can do if he wants to simmer things down.
00:24:54.000He can issue a blanket pardon of all J6s right now.
00:24:56.000And he can say, like Shay's rebellion, he can say, it was wrong of what you did, but we cannot survive as a nation if we're constantly at each other's throats.
00:25:05.000That's why I think it's fair to say for those that have spent time already, time served, and for everyone else, we are giving you a good faith effort.
00:25:24.000That's probably a good perspective to have.
00:25:27.000That being said, it will take Democrats to stop the escalation.
00:25:33.000Like Republicans can't, like Republicans and the people that are being persecuted by the Democrats, by the establishment, they're not in a position to say, okay, we're gonna go ahead and chill things out.
00:25:44.000And the reason is because all of the things that they're accused of are all things that are legal.
00:26:15.000And because of that, it has to be the people that are in the position of power saying,
00:26:21.000okay, we're going to stop using our power.
00:26:24.000Because the people that are not in positions of power are not in any position to say, we're going to stop escalating because they're not the ones escalating.
00:26:48.000The special grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, recommended charges against former President Trump, 18 of his associates, as well as South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, as well as Georgia Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.
00:27:02.000It is only because I think it doesn't serve the political ends of the Democratic Party that they overlooked these elements of these individuals in the indictment.
00:27:15.000For what purpose are they going to go after these individuals?
00:27:17.000Is it going to help them remove Trump?
00:27:58.000That is the sentiment of touching grass.
00:28:01.000It's the funny thing about when people say, oh, go touch grass.
00:28:03.000Like, you mean like a grand jury that tried to indict three Republican members of the Senate?
00:28:08.000Those are regular people that are called in for jury duty, are given evidence, and said, would you criminally charge members of the Senate?
00:28:25.000And of course it's never going to be 90% or 80%.
00:28:29.000But I think the American Revolution was, the colloquial term was, a third for, a third against, and a third don't care.
00:28:35.000It's actually more like, closer to 40% were in favor of, closer to like 20 some odd percent were opposed, and the plurality was like, we just don't care at all.
00:28:44.000If we were going to have, if there was going to be an American Revolution, too, it would just be, like, the Constitution is written so that we can revolve the laws and create an internal revolution without having to overthrow the government.
00:28:54.000So, like, it would be a technical revolution, which we're kind of seeing with the internet, but, like, it wouldn't be, like, an attack.
00:29:42.000I'm not sure exactly what year he said it, but the point is, like, the French Revolution, that happened, like, right around, it started, like, right around or after the... 1807.
00:29:51.000Yes, like, so, and they were, you know, there were Americans that were going over there and talking to the French because there was all this talk of liberty and stuff.
00:29:59.000The French Revolution... Well, it began in 1789.
00:31:46.000So let's slow down and talk about the specifics of Charges against Trump over January 6th and the people on January 6th.
00:31:54.000If Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton were criminally charged and the Democratic Party, the DNC, over the Steele dossier and those moves that were made against Trump with Russiagate, I would sit down, me personally, and say, all of that goes away.
00:32:10.000We're done, and the J6 stuff is done, and we start here, and we try and figure it out.
00:32:20.000I don't think you can get a prisoner exchange without offering a pardon to Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and Hillary.
00:32:27.000Like, think of it as a prisoner exchange.
00:32:29.000If you can't find compassion and do it because you just want, you think it's a good move, think of it as like we're trading victims here to try to end this.
00:32:38.000Is it with a white piece or something?
00:32:39.000That would require them getting into some sort of legal trouble in the first place.
00:33:31.000And the only way we move forward right now is, for one, there are no charges against Democrats for everything they did with the Russiagate and the Steele dossier, so it's a moot point.
00:33:39.000They would need to lay down their attacks and say, we're gonna chill out right now and give a little and stop attacking so much.
00:33:59.000The Republicans haven't done anything, so, you know, next question.
00:34:03.000Have they filed criminal charges against any of the Democrats over the Steele dossier?
00:34:08.000Over anything related to Russiagate and those lies?
00:34:11.000Has anyone done a deep investigation into what would happen with Ukrainegate and collusion between government and private law to go after Trump for subversion of our government?
00:34:31.000If they don't, then... Look, man, it's not about what should happen.
00:34:36.000What should happen is an election happens in 2024, the right person for the job wins, and everybody says, okay, well, you know, we'll try again next time.
00:35:28.000The issue right now is, if they are going after Donald Trump in his first term to falsely accuse him of being a Russian spy, And then you're the whole time saying just pardon him for doing it.
00:35:38.000It's like, you know, you've got someone who's shoved you up against the wall and put a blade to your neck and then you said, you know, the only way out of this is if I allow you to do it.
00:35:49.000Sounds like Alex Stein you're talking about.
00:35:51.000Actually, they pulled a knife on me on a show one time.
00:35:58.000Yeah, it was a joke, but it was a real knife.
00:36:00.000The Democrats have been engaged in hostilities against the populist right since Trump got elected, and the right has done nothing except for January 6th.
00:36:10.000I don't know if this is like Revelation, if the Bible's real, if forgiveness is actually valuable, or if we're just tricked into thinking that kindness, compassion, and forgiveness is valuable.
00:36:17.000It is, but it has to come from the people committing the acts.
00:36:35.000I'm apologizing for Hillary's crimes before she has to.
00:36:38.000You committed a bunch of serious crimes and continue to wage lawfare against us while we sit back and do nothing but we're gonna apologize to you?
00:37:31.000I definitely don't believe vote tallies without seeing the code of the machines that are tallying the votes.
00:37:37.000But now you're making different arguments that aren't part of the conversation.
00:37:42.000If Donald Trump lost by 42,000 votes across three states, then the best course of action right now is ballot harvesting, voter registration, and political rallying commercials, etc.
00:39:06.000Right now, it doesn't matter if it's likely or not, the only course of action is every legal method to secure votes for Donald Trump in the hopes he takes action towards weeding out deep state corruption, cleaning up the DOJ.
00:39:26.000Something I would like to see that is a huge frustration for me, because everybody's caught up in the conversation of whether or not the election was stolen.
00:39:34.000What really drives me crazy is that there's concrete evidence of just different places where poll watchers are kicked out, and there's actual fraud when it comes to ballot counting, all sorts of stuff.
00:39:46.000And none of those people have been held accountable.
00:39:48.000People making TikToks and all sorts of stuff.
00:39:49.000Those people, if their feet aren't being held to the fire, Well, let's say this.
00:39:55.000There is a preponderance of evidence of fraud occurring in several instances, to the degree we don't actually know because the courts never adjudicated them.
00:40:05.000There should be an inquiry and an adjudication.
00:40:08.000However, it's funny when, you know, I don't think Trump lost because of, like, fake ballots or flipping votes in voting machines.
00:40:17.000I think that Democrats Outright said what they did in the shadow campaign article for Time Magazine, that they had mass ballot harvesting operations, that governors changed the voting rules in violation of the Constitution, and then when the state legislature said, hey, we have a question about this, they said, too bad.
00:40:31.000So it's a procedural question, not a fraud question.
00:40:42.000Conflict, crisis, and violence is not winning.
00:40:46.000Violence erupting in this country is a defeat of anybody.
00:40:50.000If anything ends up happening where a fight breaks out, every time a fight breaks out or violence breaks out, between the left and the right, everyone's lost.
00:40:58.000When January 6th happened, Trump and everyone on the right took a strategic defeat.
00:41:03.000Even on the left, everybody lost that day.
00:41:07.000And politically, the right lost a tremendous deal.
00:41:12.000All we can say right now is, You are standing on a sheet of ice, and it may be difficult to cross, and it may be unlikely, but the only thing you can try and do is walk the edge and try and make it to the other side.
00:41:28.000We are hoping that there is a path forward through legitimate, legal, electoral means, and it seems to be, based on all the data coming out right now, that's the case.
00:41:37.000It appears that what they're doing by indicting Trump and his lawyers, and arresting the J6ers, and decreeing guns are illegal, is a panicked, desperate attempt to create some kind of shock content where they can muster up something for 2024.
00:41:51.000Bud Light, Target, Sound of Freedom, Richmond, north of Richmond, the cultural victories are in the billions.
00:41:58.000Yeah, man, private sector, that's where it's at.
00:42:00.000But that is reflected in the electorate, with Joe Biden's numbers on the decline and collapsing.
00:42:05.000You do not get $30 billion lost on Bud Light and no reflection in politics.
00:42:12.000Of course the people who stopped drinking Bud Light are voting for Trump.
00:42:16.000There's, there's, there's, there's, there's, look, if you come to me and said, Here's a guy who boycotted Bud Light over the dilemma of anything.
00:42:24.000In no circumstance would I ever make a bet that person would vote against Trump.
00:42:27.000But if you look at the massive moves that were made against Target, Disney, Netflix, Bud Light, all of this is indicative of a populist...
00:42:35.000Massive populist movement being successful.
00:42:38.000And the reason Republicans lose in 2020, they didn't do as well in Congress, and they win the presidency, is because the Democrats procedurally outplayed them.
00:42:49.000Using Russell Malin voting, unquestionable.
00:42:50.000What do you think about the 2022 election though?
00:42:55.000The Republicans did not ballot harvest.
00:42:58.000They did not engage with how the Democrats were handling universal mail-in voting.
00:43:01.000That was something that Trump did really well, objectively, in 2016, was the way that they targeted mail-in voting and early voting and all sorts of stuff.
00:43:10.000That was a real shift for the Republican Party, to focus on that in the campaign.
00:43:14.000And they didn't do it in 2020, which is mind-blowing.
00:43:16.000I think it's like four to one, Democrat ground activism versus Republican ground activism.
00:43:21.000Then you add in the fact that Democrats live next to each other, and in suburbs you have houses lined up, whereas in rural areas where conservatives live, the houses are far apart.
00:43:29.000Meaning, two Democrats can hit 100 houses in an hour, and two Republicans can hit 15.
00:43:35.000That is the advantage of the Democrats in creating universal mail-in voting.
00:43:38.000It was a procedural shift, it was the bulk of how they pulled it off, and Trump only needs 42,000 in these key states.
00:43:45.000So why are they indicting him in Georgia?
00:43:47.000They are panicked and desperate and need to get his name off the ballot because they can't win.
00:44:48.000When they were talking about, you know, Jewish people or whatever, like, they were talking about it as, like, a plague, an epidemic.
00:44:53.000Like, they used a lot of just the way that they talked about it.
00:44:56.000Their dictionary, in that way, was very reflective of a public health incident.
00:45:01.000Yeah, when they start calling people elements, or like, dangerous elements.
00:45:06.000And that's already happening to conservatives now.
00:45:09.000You know, the way that they have... Now again, people are gonna go freak out and be like, oh, Phil's making comparisons to World War II and blah blah blah, and that's not my point.
00:45:16.000But, because it's not just World War II.
00:45:19.000There's all kinds of places where you have one group of people demonizing another people in order to get the...
00:45:27.000The population more broadly to hate on the people they're demonizing.
00:45:32.000So you can apply it to World War II but you can also apply it to a bunch of other contexts throughout history.
00:45:37.000It's not exclusively something that's happened in World War II.
00:45:44.000You had Hillary Clinton, you know, declaring all of the Trump supporters, throwing them into the basket of deplorables, and since then, and it was probably, it was starting beforehand, but since then, like when she made that comment, that's really when it started to coalesce.
00:45:59.000That people that were outside of the Democrat establishment that were acceptable, that had the acceptable opinions, if you're outside of that, then you are outside of Our democracy and you are to be ignored and marginalized as much as they want, and now they're using the government to clamp down on people for having the wrong political opinions.
00:46:21.000Which is something I think Trump did better than anybody else, like the deplorable thing and everything, like he takes, like his mugshot for example, he takes something that they think is going to be a gotcha, something that they try to use against him, and he just twists it masterfully, like the man is a marketer.
00:46:34.000Didn't they do an event called the Deplora Ball?
00:47:06.000is that if you're a far-left terrorist who's violently attacking, you know, old conservatives who are going to a building for a private event, the police won't stop you.
00:47:34.000You look at these people, like these Antifa people that are throwing essentially makeshift bombs, i.e.
00:47:39.000something that would be registered as a destructive device in any other context, throwing them at, you know, government buildings, and then the next day their bail is paid and then nothing ever happens.
00:47:49.000That point that you just made, that would be a destructive device in literally any other context.
00:47:54.000Every single thing that they were throwing at the federal building in any other context would have to get an NFA approval.
00:48:01.000You'd have to go ahead and have fingerprints and your Passport photo taken, and then you have to be registered with the federal government, and they were throwing them, and it's a $200 tax stamp, and you- ten years for- God, that's- Ten years and quarter million dollar fine, and I do know for a fact, because I was there for some of it during some of the riots, there were ATF on the ground, they were investigating some of that stuff.
00:50:30.000And her position was, I did not look at those specific stories, but I think generally it's good.
00:50:35.000And I said, that is the banality of evil.
00:50:37.000The question of how do evil acts become commonplace?
00:50:40.000Because the average person just assumes it's fine, or it's the right thing, without looking at the individuals who are having their rights violated.
00:50:47.000There is no circumstance in any sane person's mind where you knock over a temporary barricade and you get 19 and a half years in prison.
00:50:57.000There is no circumstance in a sane person's mind where you aren't even there and they give you 22 years.
00:51:05.000Only people who did not pay attention to these cases and don't care or are tribally satisfied by destroying the lives of other people would want these things to be the case.
00:51:16.000There's people that I know that I've talked to that think that even just being there, because I've talked about a couple cases that I knew of just, you know, allegorically, that We're not even in the Capitol.
00:51:28.000They didn't even get into the Capitol, but they were just there at what later became the January 6th, the turning turn of the next 9-11, that were then investigated by the FBI and were given a temporary ban from D.C.
00:51:41.000And people have argued in favor of that.
00:51:42.000They're like, yeah, well, they were there.
00:51:45.000They should have known what that would become.
00:51:46.000And I'm over here thinking, like, you are Literally there to listen to the then sitting president of the United States speak.
00:51:54.000Well, there are people who got fired from their jobs simply because they were in D.C.
00:52:00.000on January 6th, nowhere near the Capitol.
00:52:03.000Well, what's crazy is that even if you were there, even if you were listening to Trump speak there, who was, you know... Well, but let's clarify.
00:52:09.000Trump was not speaking at the Capitol.
00:53:04.000I would much prefer to just play Magic the Gathering all day, play poker all day, then go skateboarding, play some music, and not be involved in anything like this.
00:53:13.000It'd be much better if I- if I did one video per day where I was like, here are the new polling numbers.
00:53:17.000Donald Trump wants to increase taxes on imports.
00:53:22.000Last night I thought- Everyone chills.
00:53:23.000But instead- I was gonna message you and be like- I just said it to your Italian person.
00:53:26.000If we win the culture war, it's gonna happen in Baldur's Gate.
00:53:31.000You mean, like, we're gonna win a video game, but the rest of the world just burns?
00:53:34.000Well, what I meant was, we'll be streaming online, we'll have a hundred million people watching or something like that.
00:53:38.000Like, ten million people will watch us stream a video game and, like, see the humanity in us and, like, then the politics will become evident and obvious.
00:53:59.000You got... I don't know, in fact, you may be right, but in a way you kinda, it might be greater than it ever has been in the history of humanity.
00:54:08.000The way that one human can rally the rest with the internet.
00:54:11.000I don't necessarily know if it's one human, but I do like the idea that now you have the entire information gathering source is open source.
00:54:19.000For the first time so you're not relying on Walter Cronkite for what America believes. It's it's very
00:54:25.000Well distributed now, so like there there is a chance like that, but I don't think it's gonna be one person
00:54:30.000But yeah, it would be it wouldn't be one individual one person's always the tip of the spear
00:54:34.000And then it's just but they're a result of their community.
00:54:36.000Yeah, and But really what that meant, the Cultural War will be won in Baldur's Gate, is that if we continue to try and find a political solution to the military-industrial complex, it will lead us down to failure.
00:54:48.000There's no political, there's no way to take power away.
00:54:51.000I mean, you need to inspire the masses, and I think that's done through cultural endeavor, scientific endeavor, TV shows, arts and entertainment.
00:54:59.000And then you get these six nine-year-olds, by the time they're twenty, they're ready to make something great.
00:55:04.000They already know, they've been thinking about it their whole lives, and they know how to do it.
00:55:07.000Do you need to inspire the masses, or do you need to inspire the 5% of people on the fence that aren't doing anything?
00:55:13.000It's fractal, so you only need to inspire a small amount that then will inspire small amounts that will inspire small amounts.
00:55:31.000Ron Paul created a generation of populists, of libertarian populist types.
00:55:40.000I look at so many of the people who today we talk with, who come on the show, and they're all like, whatever their political views are, they're like, I used to watch a lot of Ron Paul.
00:55:50.000That movement back in 2008 was more influential.
00:55:54.000I bet you've got Uniparty Democrats and Republicans sitting around a room being like, if we just had a time machine we'd go back and we would not let Ron Paul anywhere near the presidential elections.
00:56:05.000Him and Dennis Kucinich was pretty cool.
00:56:10.000I thought those guys were pretty weird.
00:56:12.000And then you ended up with, only a few years later, after Obama, the left and right-wing populist uprising, for which Bernie is too weak to maintain, and gave to Donald Trump, who kicked the doors in.
00:56:31.000It's fascinating to me, one of the talking points that we had earlier with the culture war was, I was asked if I thought the intelligence agencies should be destroyed, and I said that, like, almost all of them should be fired in government.
00:56:44.000There needs to become some kind of, like, civilian oversight audit of all of these systems, and a termination, and a restructuring.
00:56:50.000You know, because I am not the anarchist libertarian, shut it all down overnight, just ban everything.
00:56:55.000I know Thomas Massey's like, no more DOE.
00:56:57.000I'm more like, you know, audit, termination, or maybe even immediate termination, then audit, and then assessment, and restructuring, or dismissal.
00:57:07.000I can't think of a better formula for rot in DC than a federal agency that, by definition, cannot expose its dealings to the public.
00:57:19.000That just seems like a breeding ground for really bad stuff.
00:57:21.000But I said that the intelligence agencies were abject evil.
00:57:25.000And I was like, I don't understand how anyone, especially on the left or Democrat, after everything they've done, and we know they've done, would sit here and be like, no, they're good and necessary.
00:57:43.000But the interesting thing is, What we're told by the left is climate change is bad, the oceans have acidified, the trees are being torn down, the world is on fire, and it is the fault of us and these corporations.
00:57:57.000By the way, they're being propped up by the US intelligence apparatus going to war around the world to maintain the petrodollar.
00:58:02.000And then I have people come in here and say, but they're doing good work.
00:58:08.000If you want all of these bad things, if you think America is bad, fundamentally racist, mass polluting, and needs to stop, well then why would you agree with the intelligence apparatus maintaining all of these things by like, you know, why would you agree with the US military securing oil in Syria with soldiers?
00:58:31.000It's a contradictory worldview of, we like the war in Ukraine for gas and oil, and we like international conflict, but we'll pretend sometimes that we don't.
00:59:34.000uh... someone tried quoting some like white nationalist guy and then uh... my response was why you know why you bring it up a white nationalist in the conversation and his his views And then Sticks said, yeah, the guy's got bad views, but let's not discount an accurate quote because a bad person said it.
00:59:51.000And I'm like, oh, I completely agree with that.
00:59:53.000I just, my view was kind of like, I think that person's trying to goad us into jumping into their, you know, conversation about Israel.
00:59:59.000But Sticks made a really great point in that a lot of really bad people said a lot of really important things.
01:00:05.000And it's like, Hitler liked dogs, you know what I mean?
01:00:10.000You need to make sure that you're discarding and challenging all the really dark and evil things, but you don't immediately assume everything is always going to be dark and evil, because then we'd all be like, liking dogs is bad because it makes you like Hitler.
01:00:22.000Same thing with good people, like Martin Luther King was a womanizer, but you don't shred his meaningful message because he slept around and cheated on his wife.
01:01:54.000It's disgusting, and that's why they can have those opinions, because it's not real to them.
01:02:01.000It's an abstraction that they don't have to worry about, that doesn't touch them.
01:02:05.000Now, that's why Eric Adams is all, oh, we're always going to be a sanctuary city, because the number of actual illegal immigrants that they were getting because of their geographic location was totally manageable.
01:02:18.000As soon as you change the situation and start launching people into New York City, all that bravado about worse sanctuary cities, that stuff's out the window.
01:02:29.000Because in reality, these policies that they swear up and down that they want to have, don't effing work.
01:04:18.000Yeah, what's the sentiment of the people in the 23rd district?
01:04:22.000Especially, not only just from common sense, but from all the polling that we're doing, is that the immigration issue is the number one issue in the district.
01:04:30.000These people are fed up with it, and they're fed up with the way that politicians are handling it.
01:05:16.000That's a lot of the viral footage that's gone around the internet lately, where they have the buoys with the quote-unquote saw blades in the middle.
01:06:01.000Because I feel like it's not, like, what does that mean exactly?
01:06:04.000Well, there's a lot of Border Patrol folks, especially, that are tasked with managing that section of the border that aren't given the equipment and anything they need.
01:06:12.000So that they're purposely being, I guess, suppressed in that way.
01:06:29.000If you didn't know saw blades were in there, you might try and swim and climb over it.
01:06:32.000But I don't know if there's saw blades in there.
01:06:34.000I don't think the saw blades were the reason why they died.
01:06:37.000It's something that's also not really talked about very often is that finding dead migrants is just a thing that happens in the state of Texas.
01:06:46.000Like there's a ranch down the road in Uvalde that we go to a lot that has had issues with that where like there are literally dead migrants will wash up and they just find them.
01:06:58.000And that's a good two hours in from the border.
01:07:02.000I feel like historically it's been the most, when countries have had to deal with mass, mass migration against their will, that it's been the most gruesome defensive measures have been taken and they just don't document it.
01:07:13.000Because otherwise, or you hear about the Roman Empire getting overthrown by the immigration.
01:07:17.000And let me be really clear, this is not like US defensive border policy that's killing them.
01:07:23.000If you've ever tried to walk anywhere in Texas with limited provisions for days at a time, That is a very, very deadly venture if you're not careful.
01:07:32.000Dude, walk a mile, like today, outside.
01:07:52.000A wall is, you know, it's one of those things where it's like, you know, you can call the wall what you will, but a lot of Democrats said that the wall was just a massive waste of money.
01:08:01.000Some of the lower estimates were like single-digit billion dollars, like eight billion dollars, but we can give hundreds of billions to Ukraine.
01:08:07.000Yeah, that's money that they need to send to Pakistan to teach kids about gender studies.
01:08:11.000Right right so it's like that that's a that's a good you know that's a good starting place and also giving the the border patrol folks the the equipment and the things that they need to actually do their job.
01:08:21.000Whether it's you know uh just a the ability to staff the people that they need like the the people they need to actually work the border uh vehicles access to resources like and the states are willing to do that but the federal government isn't.
01:08:35.000Oh, the federal government, are they withholding federal funds from the process?
01:08:40.000Or are they actually legally impeding state defense?
01:08:45.000I'm not sure if they've legally impeded state defense.
01:08:48.000They're doing a lot of stuff like this.
01:08:50.000I've seen, there was one example, I think it was the countermeasure that they put up in the water, they were told to remove.
01:08:56.000But there was another one, I think it was in Arizona or New Mexico, that they were told to take the barrier down.
01:09:13.000So it's like a state trying to protect their own border and the federal government actively said like, you know, and it's not a tax, it's not a taxpayer money thing because they, if that were the case, they would just leave it there.
01:09:23.000But they said, no, you actively have to remove this now.
01:09:26.000Someone said, it was on Twitter, that the reason that they're allowing, the federal government's allowing such mass migration as immigration is because the birth rates are down and they need new slave labor.
01:11:29.000If you get rid of the entitlements, then you can have open borders.
01:11:34.000Because the situation is, if you want to come here and work, come work.
01:11:37.000Even just listen to the conversation that they're having about, in New York and where they're getting a lot of these migrants bussed in, the conversations they're having is like, how do we logistically, how do we feed these people?
01:12:07.000It depends on what you're talking about.
01:12:09.000I propose a program where when people come to the border, we ask them, what country are you coming from?
01:12:18.000And we ask them a few, we have a questionnaire about their country and our country, and they're allowed to stay Because at the same time, communist leftists are lining up on the other side of the border, and we do a one-for-one swap with the anti-communist Venezuelans and Cubans for the communist hipster Brooklynites.
01:12:39.000And I think we can all agree that's a good thing.
01:12:41.000That's like what people would do with, like, prisoners of war.
01:12:45.000They call it repopulation, where they would just take a huge section of their populace and move it somewhere.
01:13:30.000And so, you can actually get an ID without proper documentation.
01:13:35.000And then once you have an ID, you can apply for literally anything.
01:13:38.000People don't understand that our system of, you know, welfare, it's not like everything's integrated perfectly and they know exactly who everyone is all the time.
01:13:47.000It's not like this gigantic mainframe has your face, your social, your Facebook profile, and then when you apply they're like, it all makes sense.
01:13:54.000No, when you go to one agency they're like, probably.
01:13:57.000That's why a lot of people who are not citizens get driver's licenses and they get registered to vote.
01:14:00.000There was an old lady who voted not being a citizen because she got her license.
01:14:16.000And thank God there is no overarching entity that has all this information.
01:14:21.000Because could you imagine how scary the federal government would be if they were competent?
01:14:25.000It was just AI being like, you said 19 years ago, the way your eyes shifted when this was said indicates that you are not trustworthy.
01:14:36.000Yeah, I've heard that the Department of Education's a total mess, that the loan programs, who owes what, it's just no one has any idea what's going on.
01:14:44.000People, paperwork's lost and misplaced.
01:16:13.000There's people that kill themselves in the VA regularly.
01:16:16.000There's people that kill themselves in the VA parking lot!
01:16:20.000Yeah, no, like, literally, I mean, yeah, like, in the lobby, yeah.
01:16:23.000That is a thing that happens regularly and we don't talk about it.
01:16:25.000So, like, privatizing an aspect of that, you think, could be a good business opportunity?
01:16:30.000Not even a business opportunity, but, like, just, like, we, I think, at a certain point, should look at the obligations that we have to our veterans and realize, like, okay, is there a private sector solution to this that doesn't end up like private prisons?
01:16:44.000The thing about centralized power and authority is, if it works, okay, I guess it's working.
01:16:49.000Decentralized might be better, but when it fails, the entire system fails.
01:16:54.000That's why, even if you have a government program that works marginally, or works even, say well, right?
01:17:03.000Even if you have a government program that works well, you had to risk the government program not working, being instituted, never going away because government programs don't go away.
01:17:38.000Because if it's a good law, everyone will be like, oh, okay, yeah, fine!
01:17:42.000Yeah, and a lot of programs would still maintain their funding, like, all in favor of funding the, you know, Department of Education, bang, no questions asked.
01:17:50.000You know, all in favor, not funding, but reinstating the, like, a lot of these programs would just stay.
01:17:56.000Some of them, people would be like, I have no idea what that program is.
01:17:59.000Like, there's laws that shouldn't be on the books that are on the books, and they'd just be like, we vote on that?
01:18:04.000Well, they never repeal laws, they just stop enforcing them, which is a terrible idea, because that means the government still has that power, and then they can go ahead and say, oh, well, he did this thing, and you know what, there's this weird, obscure law from 150 years ago, and we can blah blah blah, and we can charge him with this.
01:18:21.000They were doing that, I forget the name of the act, but they were doing that with Trump.
01:21:37.000They had blue laws in Massachusetts for a long time, stuff like you couldn't be, uh, couldn't have stores open on Sundays and stuff when I was growing up, but by the time I was a teenager, like, they were all gone.
01:21:49.000Uh, they actually, I think they actually did repeal them, but I'm not 100% sure.
01:21:53.000Wow, blue law is a legal restriction designated for Sunday activity.
01:22:10.000Florida, you go to Miami Beach, you put on Bohemian Rhapsody, and then as soon as the people inevitably start singing, you go, ma'am, you're under arrest.
01:25:34.000The zone of death is a 50 square mile area in the Idaho section of Yellowstone National Park in which, as a result of a reported loophole in the Constitution of the United States, a person could theoretically avoid conviction for any major crime, up to and including murder.
01:25:47.000I bet they'll still throw your ass in jail.
01:25:49.000Yeah, there has to be an incident of somebody trying that.
01:26:35.000If you are a leftist media publication in California, and you file a lawsuit against a conservative, Republican, whatever, you win instantly.
01:26:42.000If you are a conservative in California and file a lawsuit against a liberal, you lose instantly.
01:26:46.000West Virginia, more likely for the conservative win for obvious reasons.
01:26:50.000And I'm just like, you know, when I hear things like that from my lawyer, I just don't think this country's in a healthy place.
01:27:23.000We're accomplishing our goal of threatening the seat of a rhino, so that's always a pleasure.
01:27:28.000What are your tactics to campaigning, I mean obviously TV shows?
01:27:33.000Well so we're doing really, it's been a lot of just grassroots efforts.
01:27:38.000So we don't have a lot of the big, we don't have any packs, any super packs, anything crazy like that.
01:27:43.000We've just been doing entirely grassroots and really it's It's kind of unconventional because this is the first time I think it's ever... anybody's ever utilized social media to the degree that we have for something like this.
01:27:54.000So a lot of it is Twitter meme warfare, Instagram meme warfare, getting it kind of... Tony Gonzalez is one of those politicians not a lot of people know about.
01:28:03.000You know, there's a lot of politicians, whether it's AOC or Dan Crenshaw, people that are very polarizing figures, but that's only because people talk about them.
01:28:13.000There's a lot of people with worse voting records, people don't know about, like Tony, because they completely slide under the radar.
01:28:19.000So bringing him into the public light and showing bad votes, like him voting for Biden's post-Uvalde gun control, you know, things like that, people don't know about it.
01:28:28.000What was his, that vote, the post-Uvalde gun control, what was that?
01:28:32.000Uh, it was, uh, Bill, it was like the Safer Communities Act, uh, which voted to fund, uh, I think it was a lot of mental health stuff and a lot of states, uh, red flag laws and, and a bunch of other things that, that came down, uh, after the Uvalde school shooting that he not only voted for, but said he would, uh, he didn't regret voting for it and he would vote for it twice, twice again on Sunday.
01:28:53.000Like a red flag laws, meaning if someone has some sort of psychiatric issue, they would come and threaten to take their weapons or something?
01:28:58.000Well, red flag laws are kind of their own, uh, Interesting issue because it depends.
01:29:03.000Yeah, it varies state to state, but realistically, it's a way that people can, you know, whether it's your neighbor who doesn't like that your tree is too far over into his backyard or it's your, you know.
01:29:55.000We're pushing into the super chat stuff, but this is from the New York Times and it was updated literally like seven minutes ago.
01:30:02.000New York Times says appeals court rules White House overstepped First Amendment on social media.
01:30:07.000A Fifth Circuit panel partly upheld restrictions on the Biden administration's communications with online platforms about their content.
01:30:14.000Basically, they said that The Biden administration violated the Constitution by telling social media companies to remove COVID misinformation.
01:30:23.000And, uh, I don't know, that's a good thing.
01:30:42.000I love debating this stuff, talking about COVID.
01:30:44.000Like, that's one of the biggest sadnesses of the 2021 is like, I wanted to talk about it.
01:30:48.000I wanted to find out what was better, what was right, what was wrong, what was like, And it's... I understand the fear of, like, you don't want to go on TV and tell a hundred million people something that could get them killed.
01:30:59.000Like, I get that aspect of it, but debating it and discussing it and questioning it... And I also understand, like, terrifying health emergencies thing.
01:31:07.000Oh, what if people are dying, actually bleeding out, you know, from flesh-eating bacteria?
01:31:12.000You don't want to tell them, you know, don't worry about it.
01:31:15.000But... The terrifying nature, though, of having our Silicon Valley overlords say that they are the arbiters of truth and that discourse isn't allowed if
01:31:22.000they don't agree with it. That's that's its own separate issue. Yeah and it should be I
01:31:26.000think that the federal government has a duty to to prevent that from happening personally. Sorry
01:31:32.000Phil. No no the externalities are always the point or are always the problem like so.
01:31:37.000So the things that the government wants to do, sometimes they're bad, sometimes they don't look bad, sometimes they actually aren't a bad plan.
01:31:46.000But that doesn't mean that they can plan for all the externalities.
01:31:49.000And it's all of the things that happen consequently because of a law that gets passed.
01:31:56.000That tend to cause problems because people aren't prepared for them.
01:32:00.000I mean, it's like if you pass laws that don't solve the problem, then you've got new laws, you've got enforcement, you've got people losing their rights and stuff like that and you still have the problem.
01:32:14.000So, and once a law is passed, again, we talked about it earlier, once a law is passed, it never gets repealed, because of the incentive in government, you're never going to have a politician say, you know what, that law is bad.
01:32:27.000The law that I passed, that law is bad and it's not working.
01:32:30.000We need to repeal it because my constituents are suffering.
01:32:32.000No, they're going to say, no, we need to do this and do more and blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:32:42.000What's easier, too, is to retcon it, which is what- that is an annoying trend that I've realized, where they retcon it, where they say, no, no, no, we never forced anybody to get the vax, we never forced anybody to do that.
01:32:53.000It was- it was something, you know, you weren't legally required to, it's just that if you worked for the government in any capacity, whether you were a EMS, a cop, any sort of position like that, we would just, you know, it was policy to fire you.
01:33:07.000But you weren't forced to, you had the choice.
01:33:09.000You could just, you know, quit your job, you know, two years before you retire.
01:33:13.000Like, just that retconning of... No, that's called forcing people to do it.
01:33:19.000Alright, we're gonna go to Super Chats.
01:33:21.000If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, and become a member over at TimCast.com by clicking join us at the website to support our work directly.
01:33:30.000And as a member, your memberships are used to fund a whole array of kooky cultural endeavors.
01:33:37.000I think the crazy thing we're trying to do right now is create an anti-Times Square.
01:33:41.000We're gonna open a Casperoo coffee shop, a Cousin T's diner, a Papa Jack- Papa Jack Posobic's Pizza Shack, and, uh, hopefully we can get a MyPillow brick-and-mortar shop, and then create this, like, block-long downtown area in West Virginia of all of these businesses.
01:33:55.000That- that- that is- I got my eyes set on that.
01:34:06.000It's, uh, from a little later on, but I wanna read it.
01:34:09.000Uh, the R-Heretic, with his grossly incorrect assessment, said, Watching Tim eat his words on the Second Amendment after his naive counter to yesterday's guest from Venezuela about America's expanding gun rights in real time is worth $20, even if he doesn't read this super chat as usual.
01:34:25.000Except I was still 100% correct in everything I said.
01:34:29.000So, uh, guest basically said, we're losing our gun rights, and it's actually not true.
01:34:34.000Yeah, with the expansion of constitutional carry and a bunch of stuff on the state level, like, we do it really well.
01:34:38.000Half the country is now constitutional carry, there's no question.
01:34:41.000The only reason the New Mexico governor can make this decree is because New Mexico went from no issue to shell issue.
01:34:48.000And now that it's a shell issue state, they have to allow people to get guns, and now they're trying to go back to how it was, like, in the 90s.
01:34:59.000Yeah, there's 26 listed, but it may be because one's pending.
01:35:02.000But it's more than half the country where you don't need a permit!
01:35:04.000And see, your point is right, and the actual situation isn't that gun rights are contracting, like he said, it's that the government is overstepping its legal boundaries.
01:35:20.000The federal government isn't allowed to pass these laws.
01:35:25.000Gun rights have been expanding tremendously.
01:35:29.000And now we have constitutional carry across the board, half the country.
01:35:32.000And what happened in New Mexico today was panicked desperation from a despot who's issuing a decree.
01:35:38.000That will get struck down by the Supreme Court in two seconds, and here's the best part.
01:35:41.000When it does, it will set precedent that executive orders cannot infringe upon constitutional rights.
01:35:46.000It'll probably be a bit more narrow than that, and they'll say, pretending to guns, but hopefully it's a bit more broad.
01:35:50.000And you can see even in specific instances like state constitutions, for example, where they're like, well, except for concealed carry, you know, different things like that, where there's even more careful verbiage when those clauses were added years ago than there is now.
01:36:04.000People are now opening up to things like nationwide reciprocity and stuff like that, which is not a conversation That would have happened in the 90s.
01:36:12.000Alright, we got RJ McDougal says, Did I win?
01:36:17.000You beat I'm Not Your Buddy Guy, who said, They only take away your guns because what they're about to do next would make you want to use them.
01:37:00.000So I've got a team of miscreants that are helping me out with a lot of stuff in the shop, you know, whether it's design stuff or manufacturing.
01:37:10.000So that's the name of the company now, but it used to be my YouTube handle back in the day when I was, you know, I was the weird AK guy of the group because I always liked the AK platform.
01:37:21.000You guys manufacture weapons in general, just weaponry?
01:37:24.000Yes, more specifically the AK platform, but we do a lot of like, you know, especially stuff for the YouTube channel to show off, like World War II machine guns, different just firearms throughout history, because I'm fascinated at the evolution of arms.
01:37:37.000You know, all the way back from the 1800s, flintlocks, all the way to, you know, the first machine gun, the first submachine gun, uh, you know, just the evolution of firearms has always been intriguing to me.
01:37:46.000Have you seen these guns that are being built with graphene?
01:38:08.000Yeah, I was just curious, because Harper's Ferry is pretty close, so I figured, like, you know, a Harper's Ferry... But I don't think they made them here, did they?
01:38:24.000More importantly, the Union stopped... started using breech-loading rifles.
01:38:31.000One of the reasons the South lost Gettysburg was that Confederates were marching into Gettysburg with muzzle-loaded rifled muskets, and the Union had paper cartridge breech-loading rifles.
01:41:10.000But the craftsman stuff, you could get some surprising distance out of that.
01:41:13.000What did they have that made them so good?
01:41:15.000Uh, attention to detail, like, especially when you're talking about early cutting of rifling and things, like, concentricity mattered a lot, like, and that's, early machining, this is before electricity, so, like, if you ever go down to, like, Harper's Ferry and see how they made some of this stuff, it's really cool how they basically have it attached to a water mill.
01:41:33.000And that they have a belt system going through the ceiling and everything that's turning their lathes where they were cutting barrels and stuff.
01:41:46.000says, Tim, I don't understand how you maintained your composure this morning when Brianna invited you to promote voting as if you don't do it almost every day.
01:41:53.000That's literally the first thing I said to Tim when he came in today, or when I came in today.
01:41:56.000I was like, dude, how did you not kill yourself?
01:41:58.000But my view is, uh, I thought it was a good conversation.
01:42:04.000I operate under the assumption, typically, that the people who are coming here from the left and liberals don't know a lot of news stuff.
01:42:12.000And that is not to... I'm not trying to insult them.
01:42:15.000They get insulted when I say that, but I'm like, I'm not trying to insult you.
01:42:18.000You told me you didn't read the news story.
01:42:19.000So, I know there is a one-to-one chance Okay, it's unfair, but like a 95% chance.
01:42:27.000We bring in someone who's liberal and ask them about Viktor Shokin, Burisma, Cutter Turkey Pipeline, etc.
01:42:31.000They're gonna say, I don't know what that is.
01:42:35.000Then how can you have an opinion on the impeachment of Trump if you don't know what happened in Ukraine with Viktor Shokin and all this stuff?
01:42:41.000And then the response is, well, like, you know, I read enough about it.
01:42:45.000My attitude is like, by all means, come on the show and say exactly that.
01:42:59.000And then when, next time you make an argument, we just attach that clip to it, and we say, these are people who take strong political positions without researching those stories.
01:43:08.000I was asked by Brenna about Casey Anthony and said, I have no idea, I did not read, I don't know anything about that story.
01:43:13.000More than just not researching, what'll happen is, imagine if you're on the surface and there's a garden, and you're like, where are the roots for all these plants?
01:43:26.000But then, if you really dig deeper, which most people won't, because they feel like they already found the roots, you go deeper, it opens up into a cave network, where the roots continue to go deeper.
01:43:35.000And most people don't even know that cave network exists, because they're already satisfied with this, this shitty Garden thing, like metaphor that I created, like they've already feel like they got the answer.
01:43:46.000The mass media already fed them a little bit so they don't look deeper.
01:43:52.000Every single liberal I've talked to about the Trump impeachment has outright said they did not know Joe Biden engaged in a quid pro quo.
01:43:59.000And then another component of it, and I'm not trying to drag Breonna, I thought the conversation was really good, it was three and a half hours, it went very long.
01:44:06.000Uh, when I'm, when, when we talk about, uh, Hunter Biden, Hunter Biden, according, Devin Archer testifies that Hunter was called, that Hunter calls DC and says, the prosecutor is a problem and we need help.
01:44:18.000Biden then flies out a few days later and engages in an illegal quid pro quo.
01:44:28.000And there's no legitimate response other than If you guys have seen that interview where the journalist is asked about Hunter Biden saying, my dad takes my salary.
01:45:18.000I am not mad at you for thinking Joe Biden should be allowed to engage in a quid pro quo.
01:45:22.000In fact, when I asked Brianna, Does Donald Trump have the authority to threaten to withhold congressionally approved loan guarantees to a foreign president in exchange for a political favor?
01:45:58.000I know these people don't actually know or care.
01:46:01.000I just need to prove it to other people.
01:46:03.000I need to be able to give that clip to my liberal aunt, whoever, I don't actually don't have one, but my figuratively, and be like, there's the clip to watch.
01:47:37.000Because we have like a Beretta, and nobody wanted to do it.
01:47:39.000The P-64, they inexplicably, if I'm thinking about the right thing, if I'm thinking about it correctly, I think they inexplicably shrunk it a bit.
01:47:46.000So it's not as big as a regular Makarov.
01:47:50.000It's an 8 plus 1 single stack handgun.
01:47:53.000So what happened was, uh, something happened with ammo prices a few years ago, I think everybody remembers, and, you know, hanging out with Luke, and Luke's like, you should probably pick up some 9mm while you can.
01:48:02.000And so I'm like, sitting on my couch, my eyes are half closed, and I went to, I think it was ammo.com, and I'm just scrolling through, and I'm like 9mm, buy, and I went, da-da-da-da-da, just like, jamming the plus button, and then I hit order, and then when it shows up, Luke walks into the box, and he's like, oh cool, the ammo's here, and then he opens it, and he's like, This is Russian.
01:49:18.000But I was talking to Gun Shop if they were able to do that.
01:49:22.000And everybody says yes, but we just never did, because we don't really care that much, but it would be cool to have like a, you know, 9mm rifle of some sort.
01:49:29.000I think the Bizon one, the one with the helical magazine on the bottom, uh, that one is 9x18, or at least they had one in 9x18.
01:49:36.000What's, what's that ridiculous .22 that's got the, the magazine goes on top?
01:50:43.000Yeah, for everybody that thinks that machine guns are a recent invention, watch that one.
01:50:47.000Oh yeah, I mean, even in the 1300s, they had the multi-barrel, so it was like a dozen or two dozen barrels, and they're all muzzle-loaded, but then they would like pull something and go ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
01:51:33.000Tim Pool, you gotta stop saying this and resting on your laurels until I, as a regular citizen, can dual wield a full auto SAW and a high point with a switch, then 2A hasn't won anything.
01:52:30.000That's why I say, well, in 2A stuff, you can't stop.
01:52:33.000We have made tremendous gains, massive gains, hit a few grand slams, but there is still an effort by Democrats to ban standard-issue, standard-capacity weapons.
01:52:44.000Claiming that 10 is too many, when 10 is minimal, it's laughable.
01:53:14.000The idea of an Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosives Division, I have no problem with as a surface level idea that there is someone in charge of, you know, overseeing this for some reason.
01:53:27.000What we don't need is a law enforcement agency that questions whether or not people have a right to keep embers.
01:53:58.000The Constitution is amended, American citizens have a right to keep and bear nuclear and biological weapons, antimatter weapons, rail guns, you name it!
01:55:08.000If there is somebody like, let's say Elon Musk, who had the billions of dollars and let's say, I don't know, thousands of rocket engineers to make ICBMs and, you know, whatever he wants to do.
01:55:18.000You know, Elon strangely starts buying a bunch of plutonium and uranium and... Right.
01:55:23.000People are gonna start sweating real hard, because it's like the only thing stopping him is not the law, it's just he hasn't decided to do it yet.
01:55:58.000Braymont says, Congressman Herrera, you'll win, as a letter carrier, I've had to deal with mountain lions, etc., and city carriers deal with being robbed and shot, please keep in your mind, when you go to D.C., that postal workers want to be armed.
01:58:07.000I think the entire thing was that it's unilateral.
01:58:11.000The weaponization of the federal government tends to be unilateral.
01:58:14.000Which, like, I'm not saying the Republicans never do it, I'm just saying that the ideals that a lot of Republicans and libertarian-leaning people hold prevents them in their own moral compass from using the weapons of government against their opponents, which is where they lose.
01:58:27.000Sorry, the AK-50, is that meant to be full-auto?
02:01:59.000The modifications had to be done before it could be sent out.
02:02:01.000And so it took like a year before I actually got it.
02:02:04.000And so we'd go to the range, and I would use, like, Harper's Ferry Armory out here has their own, what they describe as Mil-Spec 556 AR-15.
02:02:13.000And then when I finally got the SIG from Crowder, it's night and day how amazing it was.
02:02:42.000Easier to aim, easier to handle, less recoil.
02:02:44.000Obviously I think the muzzle brake is causing that.
02:02:46.000A muzzle brake will help a lot, but really what a lot of them do is...
02:02:51.000Excuse me, a lot of cheaper 5.56, or cheaper any gas-operated rifle, what they'll do is that they'll over-gas it slightly, or maybe a lot, because they don't have the technical precision to make it super-reliable, so they're like, okay, well, if we can't make it really reliable on good gas, we'll make it super-reliable on a lot of gas, so no matter what happens to this thing, that bolt carrier's running back.
02:03:17.000Yeah, and so if you have a properly gassed, well-made gun, the recoil impulse is a lot less, because it's not necessarily just the Newtonian physics of the recoil of the gun, of the shot going off, but a lot of that's the bolt carrier impact onto the rear of the gun that's pushing the recoil impulse super sharp.
02:03:39.000So in any gas operated in most like automatic firearms, whatever, anything gas up, they'll bleed off some gas from the bullet being fired down the barrel and feed it back in.
02:03:53.000So AR-15s bleed it off through a little gas tube.
02:04:06.000Kevin Malone says, Hey Phil, I went to the Baby Metal concert in Houston, and the opening act, your boy Jason, is a heck of an instrumentalist.
02:04:12.000He is the best guitar player on the planet Earth.
02:04:19.000MyThirdNut says, Brandon, you should propose a bill so that government officials and security are only allowed to use firearms that are readily available for citizens to use.
02:04:30.000Well, I think a lot of these people would have different opinions if they didn't live in their nice mansions with private security, half of which funded by taxpayers.
02:04:41.000I think they'd have a little bit of a different opinion.
02:04:57.000Monday through Thursday we do the uncensored members only, and then our members created their own show to hang out afterwards.
02:05:03.000It's the coolest thing ever, you guys rock!
02:05:05.000And that was kind of the big goal with creating this community.
