On this week's episode of The Culture War, we discuss the fallout from a boycott of Starbucks during Pride Month, a trans influencer who went topless at the White House, and Donald Trump's appearance at a Pride event.
00:01:20.000And then we got more interesting news.
00:01:21.000Last night, in the Members Only section, we talked about a trans influencer who Went topless at the White House during a Pride event with two other trans personalities, sparking a major backlash that actually resulted in the president of the White House, I should say the administration, denouncing the activists and banning them from the White House for future events.
00:01:46.000The behavior that we see at all these pride parades that we're critical of, lewd behavior in front of children, the White House has condemned and banned someone over.
00:01:53.000So I think we should be absolutely saying, OK, let's let's see more of this.
00:02:22.000With every purchase of Rise with Roberto Jr., you get a picture of our rooster, Roberto Jr., right there on the back of the bag.

00:04:13.000My name is Seamus Coghlan, I make cartoons, I have a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes, we're gonna be releasing a video this Thursday, I think y'all are gonna love, we had a tremendous performance this last Thursday in terms of views on the video it went to our
00:04:25.000first video out of the last ten the audience really seemed to like
00:04:28.000that so I want to thank you all for tuning in and suggest all of you go check it out if you haven't seen it and
00:04:33.000We're working on something about Trump's trial for this Thursday, so it's gonna be a fun one
00:04:39.000I want to ask you all to go over to the channel and subscribe
00:04:41.000Hey guys Ian Crosland, and I just wanted to give you a little
00:04:44.000Little hint a little little life hack if it When you're typing in a web address, hold down ctrl and press enter, and it'll fill in www and .com for you.
00:04:55.000So you never have to type w's and com's, all that crap again.
00:05:45.000For one thing, you have the actual workers pointing out they're experiencing this and they're hearing from, it's the union saying that they're hearing from their workers.
00:05:53.000I think the ideologically motivated activists are more likely to be outraged, the decorations are coming down, and the corporation is more worried about a financial backlash to people finding out they're backtracking, but There's actually a much simpler reason I don't believe the corporation.
00:06:08.000There are videos of people in Starbucks taking down the decorations and saying they were told to take down the decorations.
00:06:15.000According to the Twitter thread, Starbucks Workers United said, For the last two weeks, Starbucks workers have taken to social media to report the company is no longer allowing Pride decorations in store.
00:06:24.000This seems to be the first year the publicly pro-LGBTQ company has taken this kind of stance.
00:06:29.000Taking a cue from Target, who bowed to anti-LGBTQ pressure and removed Pride merchandise, corporate and district management are taking down the Pride decorations that have become an annual tradition in stores.
00:06:41.000In union stores where Starbucks claims they are unable to make unilateral changes without bargaining, the company took down Pride decorations and flags anyway, ignoring their own anti-union talking point.
00:06:51.000Starbucks is powered by many queer workers, but management has failed to materially support the LGBT community.
00:06:56.000Last October, some workers have reported that their transgender benefit plan changed.
00:07:01.000If Starbucks was a true ally, they would stand up for us, especially during a time when LGBT people are under attack, a company that cares wouldn't turn their back, true allyship with the community is negotiating a union contract, etc, etc.
00:07:12.000Well, the update to the New Republic article is that they are denying the allegations.
00:07:30.000You've got people in Starbucks taking down Pride flags.
00:07:33.000So you can see them taking the flags down.
00:07:36.000You know, so when I see a video like that, and there's like three or four others that they play, I'm kind of like, yeah, it probably makes sense that Starbucks is saying, take this stuff down.
00:07:45.000And it may be that all of these companies are taking major financial hits.
00:07:49.000The White House is even condemning trans activists for their behavior that we see typical at Pride events.
00:07:55.000It seems like there is a major shift in the culture world.
00:07:57.000Yeah, corporate America is scared and I think the elite are actually starting to become frightened that they've pushed this on us too quickly.
00:08:08.000It just means that some of them are going to be a little bit softer with their messaging for a little while.
00:08:13.000But Starbucks doing this is quite significant because this is a place where beautiful people do important creative things on their MacBooks.
00:08:20.000And so as the urbanite and brilliant forward-thinking cosmopolitans Who make up their consumer base or who are their ideal customers to be less important to them than the massive public backlash that they fear might befall them as occurred to Target and Bud Light is an unbelievably beautiful thing.
00:08:47.000I mean there is real market pressure here and I have to say this is not something I predicted.
00:08:52.000I remember when people stopped buying Bud Light I was I was cautiously optimistic, but I was a little bit worried that it might fall off.
00:08:59.000And now this has trickled all the way down to Starbucks.
00:09:41.000They say, I don't go to those parades, I don't care if you do them.
00:09:43.000Then they have pride merchandise at stores and they're like, don't know, don't care, my family doesn't even know anything about it, do your thing.
00:09:50.000Then one day their kid comes home with a book from school, talking about adult concepts and showing them graphic pictures.
00:09:56.000And now they're saying, is that what they've been doing?
00:10:37.000Oftentimes, like, you know, these are on major city streets.
00:10:40.000And even if you're not there to go to the Pride Parade, what if you have to take your kid to the doctor and you have to walk down the street that's on the parade route?
00:10:48.000Like, they are forcing your children to interact with them.
00:10:52.000Non-stop, and I think the parents have had enough.
00:10:55.000Well, and the question is, do we want to create a culture where it is safe for children to be outside in broad daylight with their parents, where they won't be likely to see anything sexually perverse, or do we want to make this a country where perverts are free to wear leather half-naked in the streets?
00:11:15.000That's the question, and your average American, who is not necessarily on the right, is saying, I prefer a country where children aren't going to see that when they step outside.
00:11:23.000You kind of want a balance, because a hundred years ago, men weren't allowed to go shirtless.
00:12:10.000But if you're gonna tell me my choice is between going back to puritanical no ankles or that video we saw out of West Hollywood where two adult men performed a sex act on each other in front of children, I'd be like, yeah, ban all of it.
00:13:38.000My option is literally just the one who stops that.
00:13:42.000And this is what the left doesn't seem to understand.
00:13:44.000This is why I think Starbucks made this move.
00:13:46.000This is why I think these corporations are making this move.
00:13:49.000Because they're right now, The bifurcation of culture has split dramatically where the traditional liberals in this country, who are like, we're totally cool with pride flags, are now saying, I don't want to have to explain to my kid why those two adult men were doing a sex act in public.
00:14:05.000So now it's like Pride Month is out because you've crossed the line.
00:14:08.000Well, I think, Lisa, you touched on something very important when you were discussing having trouble finding a modest bathing suit, which is that as soon as something becomes normalized, it almost invariably becomes the new status quo, and then that ends up being forced onto everybody else.
00:14:24.000So it's rarely an option between tyranny and freedom with these left-wing social causes.
00:14:30.000In fact, with the left, that's never the choice.
00:14:32.000It's almost always, you're going to have reasonable restrictions, or you are actually going to be forced I used to wonder about that, how a girl could go outside with a thong bikini on and not get arrested for public indecency, because I could see her full butt.
00:16:23.000Yeah, it's the sex acts that are too much.
00:16:24.000If you went to a beach and people were in a bikini and, you know, what you were saying, like a dude in a speedo, but they were pretending to get it on, like doggy stuff, you know, that would not fly.
00:16:35.000People, the cops would be like, you're under arrest for public indecency.
00:16:38.000You can't simulate sex acts in front of kids on the beach.
00:16:49.000I'm on Instagram, and of course their algorithms favor the things that I like, but I have noticed really floral and feminine dresses coming back that are more modest in nature, long.
00:17:00.000They're selling, and they're selling off the racks for $300, and they're always sold out.
00:17:04.000There's tons of them, and I'm seeing more and more people talk about wanting to homestead.
00:17:09.000I think the pendulum is starting to swing, which is the only thing that's really giving me support.
00:17:55.000This is an individual who showed up The White House said a transgender model would be banned from future events due to photos and videos that show her topless on the South Lawn during an LGBTQ Pride Month celebration on Saturday.
00:18:12.000This individual, just for clarification, is biologically male.
00:18:15.000Rose Montoya, a trans model and activist, was among hundreds invited by Biden.
00:18:18.000Montoya shared a video from the event on Instagram that features a clip of her standing in front of the White House, topless, covering her nipples with her hands.
00:18:25.000Right-wing media shared screenshots from Montoya's video, with commentators and media personalities calling her actions disrespectful.
00:19:00.000However, I think we should be praising the Biden administration, Karine Jean-Pierre, and all of the Democrats in the White House right now for this.
00:19:19.000If this was a pride event, and this is inappropriate and unacceptable and warranting a ban for more than one individual, and that's Joe Biden who said it?
00:19:54.000The most important thing is, in terms of how we address the conversation, the next time, to each and every one of you people out there listening, with your liberal aunt, Or or, you know, family member who is always telling you you're wrong.
00:22:23.000If the only options you present towards the Biden administration, Democrats, liberals, or whatever, is always, no matter what you do, we're mad at you, then they'll just write you off.
00:22:36.000I think the Biden family is deeply corrupt, but in this one, thank you for doing the right thing and condemning this behavior.
00:22:43.000If this means they faced a backlash, if Joe Biden faced a backlash among his voters that was so severe he actually condemned this, that means we are winning and this kind of lewd behavior is now being condemned by the President!
00:23:20.000It's a it's a moral victory because anytime that they continue to like I think the big issue as to why this debate is happening is because people don't want this stuff around kids.
00:25:59.000In terms of, you know, not praising your enemies, don't praise your enemies, you crush them.
00:26:05.000When we get to the point where all of these corporations are agreeing with us, in order to make them continue agreeing with us, we now must give them positive incentive.
00:26:29.000Now's the opportunity to say, hey, wow, you know, these companies are backtracking.
00:26:34.000Give them an incentive to sell to you and they will shift even further in your direction.
00:26:40.000So I know to a lot of people it may seem counterintuitive because you're angry at what many of these corporations were doing, at what Biden has done and is doing, and it's not just about the culture war.
00:26:49.000But you've got a plan for how you actually win this and what your end goals are going to be.
00:26:54.000If we truly want these people to stop targeting kids and stop the loot and lascivious behavior in public and in schools, we have to utilize the statement from the president.
00:27:36.000Three people taking their shirt off in the White House.
00:27:38.000But where is the outrage and the apology for inviting these people that you knew were degenerate to begin with and advocated for things that most of the country disagrees?
00:28:03.000It's not about declaring victory, it's about there's two paths the Democrats can go down right now, and corporations and everyone.
00:28:10.000It is doubling down on their behaviors like Bud Light is currently doing, or it's saying, okay, we were wrong and going the other direction.
00:28:16.000The only way someone will change their life, their work, the only way that they'll change the thing they're fighting for is if there is a path of least resistance and a light at the end of the tunnel.
00:28:29.000If you create a roadblock in front of them no matter what they do, they will keep doing what they're doing.
00:28:33.000It's just... There's no other... It's just simple logic.
00:28:38.000You say to the Biden administration, I hate you and you're wrong.
00:28:41.000They're gonna be like, what was the point of apologizing?
00:29:08.000I mean, I think we have to let people know what they're not getting.
00:29:11.000So, you're right that there's an apology here, but then there's also a question of, well, is he addressing the fact that he did invite this person who was promoting horrible stuff in the first place, right?
00:29:23.000I mean, there wasn't an apology for that.
00:29:25.000And you're right that we're probably not going to get one.
00:29:28.000I just think it's important for people to know that you haven't gotten that, right?
00:29:43.000And there may be someone who's done something horrendous and they got invited after the fact, and it certainly has happened with a lot of people, like Obama invited certain people.
00:29:51.000There's a lot of people we could name.
00:30:00.000I mean, there are questionable people that get invited who have done things.
00:30:04.000The question is, first and foremost, was it proper decorum for the White House?
00:30:09.000And the fact that they're saying no to this means we now have the opportunity to say, if it's not good for the White House, why is it good for the public streets?
00:30:17.000If he was upset that it was in front of kids here, why not be upset that it was in front of kids elsewhere?
00:30:36.000Remember how everybody was saying, bring back decency to the White House by having Biden come in and say, this is your decency and show the White House and like a background picture with the zipper marks and the With the fake boobs and say, this is what you voted for.
00:30:53.000This is decency brought back to the White House.
00:31:29.000They said Trump was the lewd old man, and he was potty-mouthed, but it was Biden who brought the people to come in and take their shirts off and jiggle them in front of a camera.
00:31:37.000Well, and that's the thing people miss about Biden, intentionally so, in the media, is it's not like we went from Trump, who is abrasive and angry and mean to people, to Biden, who's nice and sweet.
00:31:48.000We just got someone who is equally, if not more abrasive and mean, but way less funny.
00:32:42.000It says, It would be understandable for Starbucks to suddenly grow wary of overt pride displays, considering how bad right-wing rage has become.
00:32:51.000Target stores in five different states received bomb threats over the weekend and had to be evacuated.
00:33:02.000The bomb threats came from left-wingers who were upset that Target pulled their Pride merchandise.
00:33:08.000We have this story from, I believe, Daily Wire first.
00:33:11.000Multiple Target stores across the U.S.
00:33:14.000hit with bomb threats for, quote, betraying the LGBTQ plus community, according to a report.
00:33:19.000And if you don't trust the Daily Wire, let me bring up the Washington Post, who reports the exact same thing.
00:33:25.000News outlets in Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York received the same threatening email Saturday, according to South Burlington Police Chief Sean Burke.
00:33:33.000The message, which accused Target of betraying the LGBTQ community, named a store in South Burlington, Vermont, and ones in Plattsburgh, New York, and in Keene and West Lebanon, New Hampshire.
00:33:45.000For the New Republic to call that right-wing rage, this is what the left does.
00:33:54.000They say the first sentence is considering how the right-wing rage had become end of thought, new thought, target stores in a different location, retreat, receive bomb threats.
00:35:07.000So this sentence, target stores in five different states have seen bomb threats over the weekend and had to be evacuated.
00:35:12.000That sentence, isolated in and of itself, is a fact statement.
00:35:16.000If you add a sentence before it, which is an opinion, changing the context of the later information, your intention is to present misinformation to individuals.
00:35:26.000Your intention is to present False information to a person so they believe false things.
00:37:08.000Kohl said nothing, North Face said nothing, Nike said nothing.
00:37:11.000Target pulls the products back, instantly gets slammed with threats from someone claiming to be from the left.
00:37:16.000I think the simple solution here is the correct one.
00:37:19.000The left is pissed that this company backed down, and so they're resorting to their typical tactic.
00:37:24.000Unfortunately, what we learned from 2020 is that Target is actually willing to risk or even sustain real damage to their locations in order to not say things that they think will upset the market.
00:37:39.000Now, unfortunately, if one of these lunatics actually does set a bomb off or commit some other terroristic act of violence, people could get hurt, people could die.
00:37:49.000However, that's not on Target, that's on whatever lunatic does this.
00:37:53.000I do want to point out the title of the Washington Post article.
00:37:57.000Target stores see more bomb threats over Pride merchandise.
00:38:00.000Wrong. That's wrong. It's over them removing Pride merchandise.
00:38:29.000The writer of this article waits until around 60-70% through the story before mentioning that it was actually LGBTQ people who are claiming to have done it.
00:38:52.000We know that they do this all the time, though.
00:38:54.000They do this with absolutely everything.
00:38:56.000They make up these fake things that happen and then they say, oh, this community, they're the most at risk from right-wing extremism.
00:39:03.000If it was, if this really happened and this was a Republican or a right-wing person, you would 100,000 percent, you would know the person's name.
00:39:24.000And not only that, every other brand on the planet would be saying, we stand in solidarity with Target, or there would be some kind of nationwide movement to acknowledge this and have an open dialogue, which is another way of saying a lecture.
00:39:36.000from the LGBT community about how special and good they are and how bad and nasty we are for not accepting their lifestyle choices.
00:39:50.000If someone's smart enough, and intelligence isn't always an indication of good and evil, like an evil person can be intelligent, but if some evil intelligent person wanted to create a false flag and make it look like the LGBT community was striking out because their materials were removed, well, nice job.
00:40:49.000I think that the fervor has petered out on this now.
00:40:52.000This Pride Month, it lasted a couple weeks.
00:40:54.000People know they don't need to push it so hard.
00:40:56.000Like, the real people that care about the health and safety of people in different Marginalized communities don't want to put their marginalized community out front and center because it just it gets stones thrown.
00:41:06.000You don't want that So I think that any kind of it's the activists that have been trying to create some sort of political movement that are getting their metaphorical behinds whooped and getting kicked out of the White House banned from the White House like you don't need to It's one thing to be accepted.
00:41:25.000It's another thing to try and change society to fit your worldview.
00:41:31.000I feel like you're giving people a lot of credit because most of the people that I know, with the exception of a few, they don't just want to be accepted and tolerated.
00:42:53.000Anybody who wants to run amok, runs amok.
00:42:55.000These big corporations, yes ESG plays a role, and I've been saying this for a while, it's not just that, it's that they think it makes sense.
00:43:12.000And they said, yeah, there's a lot of people who are angry over the Pride stuff, and so they're boycotting Bud Light sales are down 30%, Target sales are down, Target's market cap and Anheuser's market cap are going down.
00:43:23.000These other companies are seeing it too.
00:43:24.000And then Starbucks, some executive goes, okay, well, are we doing this?
00:43:28.000And they said, yes, we do have a Pride Month display.
00:44:02.000And they said, eh, maybe we'll bump our sales by 4%.
00:44:05.000Now that the risk is 30 plus percent, they're saying there's no reward.
00:44:09.000But they also open themselves up to legal liability, too.
00:44:13.000You have a fiduciary responsibility to your shareholders, and if you're doing things that you know will purposely drive down your stock, you're liable, right?
00:44:20.000So it's their job to make money for their shareholders.
00:44:23.000If they see this stuff going on with Bud Light and Target, they have a responsibility to stop it, because if not, they're not protecting their shareholders.
00:44:31.000Well, and I think one thing a lot of these organizations, a lot of these companies are going to start to realize, if they haven't already, it's that the people who they might offend, in terms of their customer base, the people who they might drive away, Are people who are already shopping there in violation of their principles, right?
00:44:50.000So if you're somebody who's on the far left to the point where you buy into this gender ideology, there's a pretty strong overlap between you and people who say things like, there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, or I hate big corporations, and I think that the means of production need to be equitably distributed across everyone who works within a particular sector, right?
00:45:11.000So my point is, people who are on the far left who are patronizing corporate america are already purchasing in violation of their principles so if they get offended by you not celebrating pride month the chances that they're going to suddenly decide to inconvenience themselves in the name of their principles is very low because they've never done it before.
00:45:34.000There's a really strong overlap for some reason between socialists Communists and support for massive multinational capitalist corporations.
00:45:44.000Yeah, they're using them to smash up the American Republic, or attempt to smash up the American Republic.
00:45:49.000I think they're just hypocrites who have no idea what they're talking about, and it's more like a chaotic and destructive force with no real plans or aims, just the exertion of power.
00:45:57.000Whatever's anti-what-I-want-destroyed, that's the mentality.
00:46:01.000I think something you might be missing, or getting slightly wrong, is that No, Ian, you can't tell me why I'm wrong.
00:48:51.000A corrupt sitting president had his top political opponent arrested on fake and fabricated charges, of which he and numerous other presidents would be guilty, right in the middle of a presidential election in which he is losing very badly.
00:50:09.000An act for a crime so heinous that only the death penalty would do, and threatening me with 400 years in prison for possessing my own presidential papers, which just about every other president has done, is one of the most outrageous and vicious legal theories ever put forward in an American court of law.
00:50:31.000The Espionage Act has been used to go after traitors and spies.
00:50:37.000It has nothing to do with a former president legally keeping his own documents.
00:50:42.000As president, the law that applies to this case is not the Espionage Act, but very simply the Presidential Records Act, which is not even mentioned in this ridiculous 44-page indictment.
00:50:58.000Under the Presidential Records Act, which is civil, not criminal, I had every right to have these documents.
00:51:06.000The crucial legal precedent is laid out in the most important case ever on this subject, known as the Clinton Socks Case.
00:51:29.000military involvement in Haiti, discussions of U.S.
00:51:33.000foreign policy, both defense and offense against Cuba, recordings of President Clinton's conversations with all of the many foreign leaders at the time.
00:51:46.000Sensitive facts about trade negotiations taken from presidential briefings, discussions with the Secretary of State about conflict in Bosnia, and much, much more.
00:51:59.000Not only was Bill Clinton never even considered for criminal prosecution based on the tapes he took, but when he was sued for them, he won the case.
00:52:10.000Judge Amy Berman Jackson's decision states, under the statutory scheme established by the Presidential Records Act, the decision to segregate personal materials from presidential records is made by the president, during the president's term, and in the president's sole discretion.
00:52:37.000You're surprised to hear that, aren't you?
00:52:40.000Any normal administration, even an opposing one, would consider that to be the end, but not the corrupt Biden administration.
00:52:51.000The SOX decision, as it's known, also states, quote, the National Archives and Records Administration, or NARA, does not have the authority to designate material as presidential records.
00:54:10.000And that is something that people have now seen, and it couldn't be more clear.
00:54:16.000They ought to drop this case immediately because they're destroying the country.
00:54:24.000And this is why no other president, even those who kept far more documents than I, has ever been even investigated, let alone charged with a crime.
00:54:38.000Because the sham indictment put forward by the Biden administration included staged photographs of boxes at Mar-a-Lago, many people have asked me why I had these boxes.
00:54:51.000The answer, in addition to having every right under the Presidential Records Act, is that these boxes were containing all types of personal belongings.
00:55:04.000As can be seen in the picture, where someone, not me, I wonder who it might have been, dumped one of the very neatly arranged boxes all over the floor.
00:55:16.000They were full of newspapers, press clippings, thousands of pictures, thousands and thousands of White House pictures.
00:55:23.000The White House photographers, some are with us today.
00:55:27.000They took so many pictures, and we saved all of them, and they were in those boxes.
00:55:32.000Clothing, memorabilia, and much, much more.
00:55:36.000I hadn't had a chance to go through all the boxes.
00:56:56.000According to the Presidential Records Act, which was a big deal, I was supposed to negotiate with NARA, which is exactly what I was doing until Mar-a-Lago was raided by gun-toting FBI agents.
00:57:41.000It's Joe Biden and his corrupt Department of Injustice who think they are above the law.
00:57:48.000Never before have the two standards of justice in our country been more starkly revealed.
00:57:55.000Joe Biden had troves of classified documents from his time as Vice President and even as a senator, which was completely and totally illegal.
00:58:04.000In fact, other senators heard about it.
00:58:57.000Others were unsecured at his so-called Penn-Biden Center in Washington, which paid Biden approximately $1 million a year.
00:59:06.000The money supposedly coming from China and still other classified documents was strewn all over his garage floor, where his now-famous Corvette is stored.
00:59:25.000All of those classified documents, all of those documents, strewn all over the floor, piled up like junk.
00:59:32.000Unlike me, who had absolute declassification authority as President, Joe Biden, as Vice President, had no authority to declassify and no right to possess the documents.
00:59:46.000Instead of falling under the Presidential Records Act, Biden's actions fell under a much stricter Federal Records Act, which has very, very tough criminal penalties.
01:00:13.000She had the deliberate intention of violating public information laws so she could hide her pay-for-play scandals at the Clinton Foundation or whatever.
01:00:23.000Hillary stored vast quantities of classified and sensitive information on her illicit server.
01:02:44.000There's never been obstruction as grave as that.
01:02:48.000She did this in the face of everything, and yet nobody did anything about it.
01:02:54.000The FBI and the DOJ protected her, did not issue subpoenas, did not use a grand jury, did not execute search warrants, and then the corrupt head of the FBI, James Comey, declared no reasonable prosecutor would bring a case.
01:05:03.000Hillary Clinton took hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of furniture, china, flatware, rugs, and more from the White House, and she wasn't prosecuted.
01:05:32.000Democrats all, they lawlessly pierced my attorney-client privilege with lawyers.
01:05:40.000What they did to lawyers, what they have done to our lawyers, our lawyers, all of our lawyers, they've done things that were absolutely horrible and unthinkable.
01:05:52.000The leaking has been unbelievable and highly illegal.
01:09:16.000But what he's done to my family, what they have done to my family is horrible.
01:09:22.000He also tried to railroad John Edwards on a completely bogus legal theory that didn't hold up in court.
01:09:30.000It's no wonder this raging lunatic was shipped off to The Hague to prosecute war criminals using globalist tribunals, not beholden to the Constitution or the rule of law.
01:09:41.000Two things Jack Smith clearly disdains.
01:10:18.000Don't forget this persecution is being done by the same weaponized agencies that for seven years have been running illegal psychological warfare campaigns against the American people, much as if they were trying to destabilize a foreign country.
01:10:33.000From the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, to the no collusion Mueller witch hunt, to impeachment hoax number one, impeachment hoax number two, the 51 lying intelligence offers.
01:10:46.000They said it's Russia disinformation and they knew it wasn't.
01:10:50.000Which made about, according to some of the great pollsters that are right here, made from anywhere from a 10 to 17 point difference and yet we still got more votes than any sitting president in history in the second election.
01:11:01.000He deserves a get out of jail free card for the whole Russia thing.
01:11:05.000We actually did much better in the second election than we did in the first election.
01:11:23.000Spying on my campaign, we caught them spying on my campaign.
01:11:27.000The FBI, Twitter files, and so much more.
01:11:33.000It's all been a battle of disinformation, one thing after the other.
01:11:37.000And all to protect the radical left misfits.
01:11:43.000It's also no coincidence that these charges against me came down the very same day evidence revealed Joe Biden took a $5 million bribe from Ukraine.
01:13:57.000Remember, they impeached me for asking a simple question about Biden's corrupt dealings in Ukraine, and now they see that, once again, I was right.
01:14:57.000But when that's taken away from us, when interest rates and taxes spiral upward in an uncontrolled way, When murderers are allowed to roam—murderers, these are horrible killers—murderers are allowed to roam the streets of our Democrat-run cities unchecked, but the incompetent district attorney in New York indicts Trump for a crime that everybody agrees—every pundit, everybody—there is no crime, but murderers go out
01:15:25.000And nobody ever even comes and knocks on their door, and they know they're there, and they know their rooms, and they know their locations.
01:15:32.000And they're roaming our cities all over.
01:15:34.000And some of them are coming in right now through our borders.
01:15:38.000But then you have a nation that, as we are, is in serious, serious decline.
01:15:46.000If the communists get away with this, It won't stop with me.
01:15:51.000They will not hesitate to ramp up their persecution of Christians, pro-life activists, parents attending school board meetings, and even future Republican candidates, which they do.
01:16:03.000We must end it permanently, and we must end it immediately.
01:16:07.000Now that the seal, so important, is broken.
01:16:12.000The seal is broken by what they've done.
01:16:24.000In addition to closing the border and removing all of the criminal elements that have illegally invaded our country, making America energy independent and even dominant again, and immediately ending the war between Russia and Ukraine, I'll have it ended in 24 hours.
01:19:03.000That's the unfortunate thing, because I don't think his whole, I'm gonna go in there and end everything is the right way to create a new, better world.
01:19:30.000He's gonna issue pink slips and they're just gonna say, okay, no.
01:19:33.000Schedule F, as he already implemented in his first term, and then did not win re-election, so was not able to carry out, and then Biden, I think it was the Biden administration that reversed it, was the Basically, he was setting the policy for, we are going to fire people who have been permanently in government and who should not be here anymore.
01:19:53.000The idea that you can get hired by the federal government, be bad at your job, be corrupt, and not get fired is insane.
01:19:58.000So when he implements Schedule F, he then says, if I get reelected, we're going to bring back Schedule F and start firing these corrupt individuals.
01:20:06.000Why would your position be that's bad?
01:20:08.000Because he's talking about people that just got hired six weeks ago, he's going to fire them too?
01:20:12.000But he's going to disband the FBI, disband the CIA, disband the NSA.
01:20:39.000Obliterate the deep state is the same kind of tautology that got Kennedy killed.
01:20:44.000I believe tautology is the right word, I'm gonna look up the definition of that.
01:20:47.000You can't, I mean, if you just say, I'm gonna fix everything, and they're all like, yay!
01:20:50.000A tautology is like, love is love, right?
01:20:51.000It's when you just like, obliterate the deep state.
01:20:54.000When Donald Trump spends years, and other advisors and individuals in his circle spend years, describing what is called the permanent government, individuals who work in the federal government, who have been there throughout multiple administrations, who set policy, And need to be fired for wrongdoing.
01:21:16.000That's what he has explained over and over again.
01:21:19.000And then he says, we've got to fire these people.
01:21:21.000Colloquially, they're called the Deep State.
01:21:24.000So, I think you just didn't understand.
01:21:26.000You're talking about heads of agencies?
01:21:27.000Are you talking about every employee of the deep state?
01:21:30.000There are people who have been, some are in charge, some were even, he mistakenly hired some, you know, he made big mistakes in that regard, but we're not talking about going to the entirety of a single agency and literally just firing every single person and then leaving an empty room.
01:21:45.000He's saying there are people who need to be fired, who can't be fired.
01:21:49.000But is he- It's like, imagine if you bought a pizza restaurant, and everybody in there was sitting around and nobody was working.
01:21:54.000And you're like, why am I paying you people?
01:21:55.000I'm like, union contract, you can't fire us.
01:21:57.000And so then some guy's like, okay, well I'm gonna buy this pizza place, and then I'm setting a new policy, I'm gonna negotiate a new contract, and say, I can fire you if you don't do your job.
01:22:04.000So then the people who work there all team up, conspire, accuse you of crimes, and have you arrested.
01:22:09.000Ian, have you ever lived through a government shutdown?
01:22:42.000On top of that, you're not going to feel it.
01:22:44.000If all of these leeches and these corrupt people, the people that are not implementing the president's policy because they don't like him, are still in power, because that's what they are.
01:22:54.000I mean, if he puts out a policy and they say, we're going to slow walk this, we're not going to implement it, then they do actually have power.
01:24:42.000In many instances, some of these people have committed overt violations of either law, like the Hatch Act, for instance, which seems to get violated a lot, or just in general, they did things that warrant firing.
01:24:56.000So when for years we're having a discussion about people who for some reason can't be fired and should be fired, and then Donald Trump comes along and says, that guy needs to be fired, we go, yeah, he's right.
01:25:07.000You then say, no, the deep state means something totally different based on my assumption.
01:25:19.000It's obliterate the FBI, the CIA, the NSA.
01:25:23.000You're obliterating the people that are obstructionary in there from implementing his policy, the people that have been unelected, that have been targeting him, that have been targeting conservatives, like in the IRS, right, when you can't when they're targeting churches and conservative 501c3s
01:25:40.000just because they have the name Patriot in it.
01:25:42.000Those people are the deep state. That's who they are. They are the obstructive people who hate us.
01:25:48.000They hate you for not even paying, like for not following their line. They don't like us.
01:25:54.000I think that's a dirty tactic to tell people that they're hated by other people you don't know.
01:26:29.000I don't know if it would have killed a bunch of people if they'd pulled out.
01:26:31.000I don't know what the situation was there.
01:26:33.000But at face value, if the president issues an order and it's violated, there's a big problem in the chain of command, that person should be reprimanded.
01:26:39.000Should they be fired for lying to the president and the American people to keep military activity ongoing in a country we did not declare war on?
01:26:48.000If your commander and one of your dudes goes out to violate one of your orders, you may not fire him because there may be some, you know, rudimentary justification.
01:26:56.000There was a while ago I referred to you as the banality of evil, and this is a really good example of that.
01:27:01.000See, in my world, and I wonder if you guys agree with me and the people listening agree, if there is a Commander-in-Chief who has been duly elected by the people of his country to properly lead and serve out his term as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and he says, I order my troops to be removed, and then tells the American people we are getting our troops out of Syria, and then an official behind the backs of the American people lies to the President to keep troops on the ground in a foreign country we did not declare war on.
01:27:34.000That person is a traitor to this country, that person is committing seditious conspiracy, and is actively engaged in a foreign... I mean, the amount of laws that were violated, it's not even a question, and this is fact.
01:27:48.000So, when I said the banality of evil, What you are saying is, you know what, I just don't know.
01:27:52.000Let the evil people keep doing their thing.
01:27:54.000And I'm like, bro, we can outright see there's a guy who is obstructing the will of the people and the duly elected president to serve out his term and end a foreign war we did not want.
01:28:07.000And you're like, I don't know, we might want to keep him in there.
01:29:20.000We should be exact if we're talking about firing people in the federal government.
01:29:24.000Donald Trump is not going to stand up with a half an hour's time and say, I'd like to give you a list of every single person who needs to be fired.
01:29:31.000Here we go, starting in alphabetical order.
01:29:34.000So when we have this conversation, and then Trump addresses it, and then a week later we have another conversation about another corrupt official, and we have a conversation.
01:29:43.000Who's the guy who lied before Congress about spying on the American people?
01:30:35.000We're the multiple agencies to deal with the fact that across federal... Now, I wonder, but why did so many FBI agents go and investigate a garage pull rope?
01:31:27.000They said, it's exactly the same on the inside as it is on the outside.
01:31:30.000A lot of good people who are too scared to speak up because their bosses are woke and they're scared they're gonna get fired or something bad's gonna happen.
01:31:39.000You've got core elements of corrupt individuals who are deranged cultists who are like, we must imprison Trump no matter what, lying about what Trump has done, pushing these lies relentlessly and refusing to criminally charge anybody else.
01:31:51.000Hey, you don't want to arrest Hillary Clinton?
01:31:53.000How can you then turn around and go after Trump for something that's not even as bad as smashing phones with hammers and using BleachBit, a software, to purge the hard drive so no data could ever be recovered?
01:32:03.000A clear violation of public records law.
01:32:06.000And so Donald Trump says, we got to get rid of this corruption.
01:32:16.000I don't believe Don's going to do it, man.
01:32:17.000He said he was going to drain the swamp.
01:32:19.000He told me that for two years when he was running for president.
01:32:21.000When he had another election coming up, this would be his last opportunity to run for president, and he has been so wronged and so violated in the meantime, since January 6th, basically, that he would go scorched earth and he would drain the swamp.
01:33:46.000We're also, I just want to acknowledge this, we've all sort of mentioned some of our disappointments with Trump's presidency.
01:33:53.000The fact that he said he was going to drain the swamp and didn't.
01:33:55.000He didn't get rid of all of these people.
01:33:57.000But similarly, you can argue that drain the swamp is also as vague as obliterate the deep state.
01:34:02.000We know there are certain agencies that are filled with corrupt people who need to be taken out.
01:34:07.000I would argue that especially after Facing 400 years in prison on these quite literally trumped up charges, he's going to be more motivated than ever before to really go after these people.
01:34:21.000It's very challenging for me to talk about this from the outside because I don't know what he knows.
01:34:26.000And if he knows all the specific people that he needs to fire to set off the chain of action to actually create a more just system, I can get behind that, but if he's just angry and doesn't know who he's going to go after and he's just saying this, then it strikes me as a platitude.
01:34:52.000For the love of all that is good in our country, and then they're all cheering for love, and it's like, dude, he spent 95% of his speech talking about hate, and then at the very end he's like, love, love, love, platitude, and everyone feels, gets this endorphin rush, and like, it better be more than an endorphin rush.
01:35:07.000So this is what the media does to people.
01:35:10.000They scream over and over again that Trump is Hitler, they find whatever dubious parallels they can, and they try and convince you that you're looking in a reflection, which you are completely and absolutely not.
01:35:23.000These people come out and they're like, you're a fascist, and it's like, yo, I believe in civil liberties, free speech, civil libertarianism, I want the government to be smaller, and they're like, you're a fascist.
01:35:34.000See, the people who want absolute authority, the violent fervor is not on the right.
01:35:42.000How is it that Seamus and I can disagree on, you know, big political issues and debates, even around spirituality, obvious issues like abortion, yet here we are every day laughing together, having conversations, trying to live and work together.
01:35:53.000This side is not the fervent, zealous side.
01:35:56.000The people who claim to be leftists but cheer for every massive multinational corporation and government mandate, Those are the fascists!
01:36:04.000But, yeah, Hasan Piker's not a drug addict.
01:36:06.000Well, I don't know what pharmaceuticals he's using.
01:36:09.000A lot of people that are addicted to, like, Ritalin and stuff like that.
01:36:11.000My point is... They don't have the emotional capacity.
01:36:13.000Using Hasan as a good example, I find it fascinating that he ends up on the side of massive multinational corporations so often.
01:36:19.000He criticized Nick Merckx because Nick Merckx didn't support vaccine mandates.
01:36:24.000And I'm like, how is the socialist guy in favor of literally massive multinational pharmaceuticals having no bid, no liability contracts where the people are mandated to take a drug?
01:36:52.000You can't sit here and be like, Kimpo's a fascist because he believes in frisbitch, and then go around mandating and demanding the government force people to be medicated.
01:37:18.000Yeah, and that speech, there's a lot to talk about in that speech, and I kind of hijacked it talking about this.
01:37:23.000The other thing that set me off is the way that the Americans got rid of the Ba'ath Party in Iraq after the invasion in 2004, caused a gap, like a vacancy in the government, and then ISIS comes in and starts taking control and forming.
01:37:38.000So I was concerned about that with eradicating the deep state, firing all this leadership, that a new, not only would all those fired people go off and start their own rogue government, You seem to be very worried about a totalitarian government, right?
01:37:55.000But at this point, I think, and this is going to sound wild, a Trumpian authoritarian government is so much better than what I've got going on right now.
01:38:28.000He literally did arrest his political rival.
01:38:30.000You have a religious left wing that is ruling this country.
01:38:34.000And honestly, you have a fascist, religious left wing that absolutely is in control of this country, and I'm sorry that if my alternative, and I don't think it's as bad as you say it is, but if it was that, I would take it every day of the week.

01:39:18.000Korek57 says, Tim, how much to get you to do the show in full Vulsiferon?
01:39:23.000It's not it's it's it's Vulsiferon Herald of the Winter Mists, please.
01:39:28.000It's like you're not gonna use the full name, you know.
01:39:30.000Uh, it's the, it's the, uh, trope character I use to represent furry rights.
01:39:37.000So if someone went to a workplace dressed in a full fursuit and said their name is Vulciferon, Herald of the Winter Mists, and that is, you have to use that name in full, otherwise it's a violation of human rights.
01:40:00.000You think you'd get a lawyer to represent you?
01:40:02.000You'd probably get a lawyer to represent you, but I think it might also depend on what state you're in.
01:40:06.000They would easily show the law in New York.
01:40:10.000That gender expression is how you dress and how your name is used, clearly defined as in the person wearing a fursuit, it's clothing, it's a name, and they would clearly establish that furries are a long-standing community with self-identity.
01:40:23.000And so, on what grounds, under this law, would they have to exclude a large group of people who identify in a certain way, dress a certain way, and call themselves a certain name?
01:40:32.000I don't think they would lose that one based on this law.
01:40:48.000Yeah, so I think what's happening is a bunch of specific Starbucks are taking things down and the union workers are reporting it to the union and then that's why Starbucks is like, we have no corporate policy saying that.
01:40:58.000It's doublespeak for individual stores may be doing this, regional stores may be doing it, but from the highest level they may not be instructing it.
01:46:11.000All right, so this is just something to seize on here, right?
01:46:14.000You have 1.6 billion dollars in lost, destroyed wealth because of bad policy forwarded by the Democratic Party, and left-wing activists and politicians are always saying that it's criminal for one single person to have over a billion dollars in
01:46:33.000their fortune, but to destroy a billion dollars that no one will ever again be able to
01:46:38.000benefit from with respect to the resources that have been eviscerated and removed from the
01:46:43.000use of the people is completely morally acceptable to them, not even something to worry about.
01:47:15.000Now, I want to elaborate on this too, because my thoughts on this, and the reason I ask the question is, since the Daniel Penney thing, and Daniel Perry, I've been asking myself the same question about, you know, abandoning cities.
01:47:29.000And people brought the point to me, saying, we can't just let- the actual super chat sent to me was, we can't abandon our once great American cities to these people, this is what they want.
01:47:39.000And I thought that was a really great point, and something I probably wasn't thinking about.
01:48:24.000I think you're going to get more druggies moving into those areas.
01:48:26.000I also think that One theory I have, I've talked about this probably two or three times in the show so far, but I think that if they do ever repair these cities, what's going to happen is all of the people who are friends with the political leaders will know before they start implementing the tough-on-crime policies and cleaning the place up, and they'll buy everything on the low once the property values have been completely tanked.
01:48:45.000Demoralize says, I hope you know Trump can't beat Biden.
01:49:24.000But I see these tweets from people who have, like, they're taking pictures in Florida with DeSantis shirts, and they're lying about everything.
01:50:08.000And I was like, it's a picture that says Real Life Trump, a collage, where you place fa- it's just a meme.
01:50:14.000Okay, these people are duplicitous, they're liars.
01:50:17.000And the people supporting him go on Twitter and make up lies all the same as the left do, in the exact same ways.
01:50:22.000So when I come out and say, hello, I see a problem with this.
01:50:26.000There is a video that the DeSantis campaign put out where there's fake images intending to manipulate people.
01:50:30.000I believe they should disavow this and say it was wrong to do.
01:50:34.000What is the response from the DeSantis fans?
01:50:36.000Tim Pool got tricked into thinking memes were real because he's stupid, which is a left-wing tactic they use to obfuscate what's really going on.
01:50:46.000The funny thing though is, like, I don't know if they think they're going to influence me into supporting them, but my only question is, are they actually secretly anti-DeSantis and trying to make him look really, really bad on purpose?
01:51:41.000The more people that enter the field, it only helps Trump get over that hump because he has the majority of the base.
01:51:50.000And then once you put him on the stage with Vic, who's obviously going to clean house with probably everyone, it'll be Trump and then him and then he'll pick up some points and then DeSantis will have no shot.
01:52:56.000We were looking at the political books, and I was like, I'm willing to bet that I can accurately predict with 90% cer... I can predict with 90% certainty who actually wrote their book and who didn't.
01:53:07.000And then there's, like, Elizabeth Warren, like, no way.
01:53:24.000These are people who are, like, they have so much they project out there.
01:53:28.000Elizabeth Warren is just, like, Surface level floating around she maybe maybe she dictated some ideas to somebody and then they wrote it out for the history of her people I could be wrong.
01:55:40.000Josh Branson says, I feel like whenever we're talking politics, Ian just becomes a contrarian instead of expressing his own actual beliefs.
01:56:54.000That's why it sounds like he's making it up as he goes.
01:56:56.000I think that it needs to be talked about, talking about Trump obliterating the deep state, that my point of view that I brought up earlier, it needs to be heard.
01:57:04.000I'm not going to like ride on that hill and die on that hill.
01:57:07.000I'm so down to get behind a reformation of our government right now.
01:57:11.000Yeah, and I can confirm, and Seamus can confirm, nah, this is Ian.
01:57:18.000He has these ideas, but that's kind of the point, right?
01:57:21.000Would it be better if we all sat here shaking hands and petting each other on the back?
01:57:24.000Yeah, we like all agreed all the time.
01:57:25.000What people need to realize, too, is like, me getting passionate and inflamed as Ian says something he's passionate and inflamed about, and you guys thinking he's wrong, makes a conversation.
01:57:34.000You know, we've always had something like that.
01:57:37.000Sometimes we agree on a lot of things, and then sometimes, you know, say something like that, and then I'll be like, no, are you crazy?
01:58:00.000Yeah, ever since you guys went to therapy together, you know, it's always been like, it's like, Ian, when you say obliterating the deep state is bad, I feel like that's incorrect.
01:58:11.000Are you making eye contact with Tim because he may feel like you're attacking him?
01:58:14.000We should do that and get Dr. Drew back.
01:59:47.000Yeah, I think if there's a debate, Vivek will be the most knowledgeable person on the stage, running circles around everyone, but Trump will be the most aggressive, charismatic, running circles around everyone.
02:00:02.000He can say really hard things like, I'm absolutely going to pardon all the Jan Sixers and pardon Assange, and we're going to go after these people.
02:00:10.000But he says it with a kindness about him, and I'm sure that's what's appealing to a lot of people that struggle with Trump, even though they have basically the same platform.
02:00:19.000The thing that really kills me with Trump is just like the little digs, like when he's like,
02:01:03.000I'll also add, we're going to be putting up, it's probably going to, I mentioned this before, it's going to turn to more of the general TimCast.com content.
02:01:11.000So we've got clips from the documentaries that are being released.
02:01:14.000We're going to be putting out Game of Money on the, I believe the release date is the 20th, so one week.
02:01:19.000It is a documentary by Ben Stewart about how the financial systems work around the world.
02:01:24.000This is very, very important considering crypto, but how the banks are falling apart.
02:01:28.000And then we do have a documentary from Lauren Southern, which is, it's about gun control, and that will be next month.
02:01:36.000But we're gonna be rolling out clips at youtube.com slash TimCast, and then Fridays at 1pm, it's The Culture War.
02:01:50.000We're really loving the script and I'm excited for how it's going to turn out.
